STEVE BALLARD APPOINTED NEW PERMANENT
CHANCELLOR
STUDENTS PROTEST UNC-SYSTEM TUITION HIKES
IN MARCH
DORM SAFETY QUESTIONED AFTER MULTIPLE
VIOLENT CRIMES
HOLLY O'NEAL
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
As the old adage says, the only thing constant
is change. And this academic year at ECU has seen
plenty of it, through growth, reorganization, chal-
lenges and landmarks. While the university eyes its
looming centennial celebration, a look back on the
most important news events of 2003-04 shows the
transformation ECU continually undergoes.
Academics
The cost of obtaining an ECU diploma rose,
despite strong resistance from students. A proposal
to implement a three-year, $300 tuition increase
failed to gain approval from the Student Govern-
ment Association, who partnered with the North
Carolina Association of Student Governments to
protest.
Nearly 200 students from all UNC-system
schools attended the March 24 meeting, where the
BOG amended ECU'S request, passing a campus-
wide, $225 in-state increase and a staggered
increase for the Brody School of Medicine.
Enrollment reached a record high, topping off
at 21,797 last fall and establishing ECU as the third
largest school in the UNC-system. ECU'S size not
only increased, but so did the quality: The 2003-
04 freshmen crop had the highest average SAT test
scores thus far.
U.S. News & World Report magazine named
Brody School of Medicine 19th in medical schools
emphasizing primary care, fourth in rural medicine
and 15th in family medicine. The School of Allied
I lealth Sciences' rehabilitation counseling graduate
program ranked 15th for a third consecutive year.

RACHEL LANDEN
SENIOR WRITER
The passage of time inevitably
equals change.
If this is your first year at ECU,
chances are you are not the same
person or are in the same place
that you were a year ago.
If four yean have passed since
you first stepped foot in the hal-
lowed halls of academia, then
it's almost certain you are a new
person in a new place.
You are a product of the
knowledge you have acquired,
the people you have met and the
things you have seen and done.
You cannot leave ECU untouched
or unchanged. After all, ECU
today is not the same as it was
yesterday or one year ago, and it
is especially not the ECU of four
years ago.
The university has grown and
changed, and hopefully you have
as well. But lest you forget some
of the most memorable moments
of your college career, The East
Carolinian is once again here to
remind you.
Growth and change have
definitely become pivotal for the
university. Enrollment reachedan
all-time record high in the fall of
2003 with 21,756 students. And
as for further evidence of growth,
the 2003 freshman class held the
highest ever average SAT score of
1050.
An increase in student popu-
lation emphasized the need for
expansion of campus facilities.
A totally renovated Student
Health Center opened in August
2001. In the years following, the
Rivers Building, Jones Hall and
Mendenhall Student Center have
received their own makeovers.
In 2002, ECU saw the
completion and dedication of
the Murphy Center, a $13 mil-
lion facility for athletic strength
and conditioning. And in August
2003, the $66 million Science
and Technology Building opened
its doors to students.
There is no doubt the exten-
sive on-campus construction has
proved to be a hassle for faculty
and students. The costs alone are
enough to give you a headache,
but not as great as the one that's
been causing stress and frustra-
tion among students this year.
In March, the UNC Board of
Governors approved a series of
increases in tuition and fees that
will go into effect this fall.
The BOG also approved the
selection of ECU's new chancel-
lor. Steve II.ill.ml, provost and
vice chancellor for academic
affairs at the University of Mis-
souri-Kansas City, will enter his
new position in June.
Ballard will succeed Interim
Chancellor William Shelton as
ECU's leader after Shelton took
the reins following William
Muse's resignation in Septem-
ber of 2003.
Scandals erupted and rumors
ensued in the wake of a tumul-
tuous turnover of leadership.
All the big names seemed to be
leaving, and not under amicable
circumstances.
William Swart, vice chan-
cellor of academic affairs, was
reassigned to a faculty position
almost immediately after Muse
left his job.
In December 2002, Head
Football Coach Steve l.ogan
resigned, to be replaced by the
Florida Gators' defensive coor-
dinator John Thompson.
Former Housing Director
Emanuele Amaro was arrested
in February of 2003 for embez-
zling more than $100,000.
Several months later, Ath-
letic Director Michael llamrick
vacated his position in order to
join the staff at UNLV.
Though national events
did not specifically happen on
campus, many of them effected
students, faculty and the uni-
versity. The attacks of Sept.
11, 2001, occurred many miles
away, yet their impact could be
felt in Greenville.
ECU grieved with the rest of
the nation as students, faculty
and staff faced the losses of
family and friends. We then took
action in the face of tragedy with
patriotic displays and fundraising
projects. The following year, ECU
commemorated the date with a
candlelight vigil.
As a result of the attacks,
homeland security became a
major national issue. Today,
campus security is gaining its
own attention following two
sexual assaults in residence halls
and two other incidents involving
weapons on campus. Police have
added more patrols, and access to
each residence hall is now limited
to the building's main door.
But all news is not necessarily
bad news.
Greenville braced for the worst
in September 2003 as Hurricane
Isabel neared the North Carolina
coast. Friday classes were can-
celed, yet nearly 1,000 students
chose to remain on campus in the
residence halls during the storm.
Students celebrated the long week-
end and impromptu vacation with
"hurricane parties
Fortunately though, Isabel
resulted in relatively little
damage, sparing Greenville the
brunt of the storm and the threat

SHELTON CHOSEN AS INTERIM CHANCELLOR
STUDENTS RECALL 911 WITH PEACE VIGIL
Graduating students encountered a revamped winter ceremony. Administra-
tion, in response to low turnout at the large ceremony, scaled back commence-
ment to include only one ceremony and prohibited students from wearing regallia
at their departmental celebrations.
However, student and faculty concern prompted further adjustments. The
December commencement included two large ceremonies, one each for under-
graduate and graduate degrees.
ECU students, past and present, made their imprint on school history.
Hannah Winslow became the first undergraduate to publish a book, titled "Once
upon a Time I was me: Reflections on living as a teenager while pursuing her
degree, and Dan Neil, a 1982 ECU alumnus and L. A. Times columnist, was the
second graduate to win the Pulitzer Prize.
Developments
Evidence of ECU'S physical growth was unmistakable all over campus. One
of the most anticipated additions - the West End Dining flail perched above
downtown Greenville - is scheduled for completion in September 2004.
In all, the school projected to spend $9 million in repairs to areas such as
sidewalks and parking lots. The $190 million Science and Technology Build-
ing opened for classes fall 2003, and renovations on the Rivers and Hannagan
Buildings are soon to be complete.
Expansion on the West Medical Campus began in earnest with the Learning
Village's groundbreaking. Scheduled to begin construction in May, the Learn-
ing Village will initially host a 129-acre complex housing the Schools of Allied
Health Sciences and Nursing and the Laupus Medical Library.
Ownership of the Country Doctor Museum in Bailey was transferred to ECU
to become part of the Laupus Library's History of Medicine program. After clos-
ing for more than a year, the museum, established in 1967, reopened in April.
It displays instruments, diaries, papers, medical books and equipment of past
medicinal endeavors.
Planning began for the North Campus Recreational Facility to be located at
the Intersection of NC 33 and US 264.
Developers envision the NCRF to contain IS multipurpose play-
ing fields, an 18-hole Frisbee golf course, a "world class" skate
park and a championship stadium for soccer, football and Ultimate Frisbee,
among other recreational spaces.
Leadership
Controversy clouded top administrative positions at the beginning of the
fall semester, affecting the need for major structural reorganization during the
ensuing months.
The resignation of Chancellor William Muse in September followed a closed
meeting of the ECU Board of Trustees, where two critical internal audits were
discussed.
One audit said Emanuel Amaro, who resigned from the posi-
tion of associate vice chancellor for student experiences in
January, embezzled money and made improper purchases. Amaro has since
pleaded guilty to embezzlement.
Another audit said part of a $4.6 million grant to the Center for Health Sci-
ences Communications was spent improperly.
Muse denied involvement or knowledge of both cases. Though he said he
planned to return as a business professor in the spring, Muse retired in Decem-
ber.
UNC-system President Molly Broad appointed William Shel-
ton, vice chancellor for University Advancement, as interim chan-
cellor. A 13-member search committee, consisting of school
officials and community leaders, was assigned the task of finding a permanent
chancellor.
Provost William Swart, whose position and appointment were initiated by Muse,
was reassigned to a faculty position in the business school shortly after Shelton took h is
position. Swart underwent criticism for his hiring practices-allegedly Old Dominian
University, and organizational changes.
James LeRoy Smith, executive assistant to the chancellor and philosophy profes-
sor, was named interim vice chancellor of academic affairs.
Responding to the administrative changes, Thomas Feldbush resigned a year
earlier than he planned from his position as vice chancellor for research, economic
development and community engagement.
Shelton combined the division of research with the graduate school under the
chancellor's office. 1 leapxintedJohn Lehman, dean for research and graduate studies
at BSOM, as vice chancellor for research and graduate studies.
Paul Gemperline, chemistry professor, was named acting associate vice chancel-
lor.
After the Chancellor Search Committee submitted its recommendations to Broad,
Steve Ballard, provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University ol
Missouri-Kansas City, was announced as ECU'S new chancellor in March.
Ballard will begin his job June 1, and Shelton will return to his former position.
BSOM received a new dean in August. Dr. Cynda Johnson, 52, became one of 11
women to head one of America's 126 accredited medical schools.
Student leadership changed hands when Ticket One tri-
umphed over Ticket Two in SGA's March elections. The election
was shortened from two days to one day when a non-malicious information breach
erased candidates' names and vote totals from online voting.
Safety
Students began to seriously consider their safety after a rash
of violent crimes took place in the dorms. A female student
was raped in her White Hall room Jan. 19, and a month later, another female was
raped in the laundry room of Belk Hall.
Two armed roblwies were reported in Belk. No one has been charged in any of
the incidents.
"Piggy-backing or entering a dorm behind someone who has opened a door
with a key, was given as the probable cause for the criminals' presence in the dorms.
Low-lit and construction-laden areas worried students.
To communicate students' concerns to administra-
tion, the SGA held a Safety Walk in the spring, where
participants located unsafe areas. The concerns were presented to administration.
Campus Living outlined a plan to tackle unsafe areas, includ-
ing adding security cameras and lighting to residence halls, to
ensure safety and reduce crime. The cost for installing cameras in
every dorm would total more than $300,000, one prospective supplier said.
Campus Living conducted its own safety assess-
ment to locate critical areas. Some improvements have
been completed, while others will continue throughout the summer.
The fall semester saw another safety concern, but the school
was powerless to stop it when Hurricane Isabel ravaged east-
ern North Carolina and the Atlantic Coast. The storm's effect was
felt from North Carolina to New York, flooding homes, blacking out cities and caus-
ing at least 29 deaths.
Classes were cancelled for two days, but besides downed trees and power lines,
caused minimal damage in Greenville.

Conference USA as an all-sports
member, the baseball team won

some of our fellow East Carolin-
ians.

Descendants claim Lumbee
falsely claim heritage
PEMBROKE (AP) - Descendants
ol a group of American Indians
recognized by the federal government
in 1938 complain that the Lumbee
tribe is using their history to help their
case for federal recognition and the
financial benefits that come with the
status.
Documentation showing 22
Waccamaw-Siouan Indians certified
as Native Americans in 1938 was
included in information given to the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
and House Resources Committee
during hearings on federal
recognition for the Lumbees.
Descendants of the Siouans want
the information stricken from the
record.
To be recognized, the Lumbees have
to show a presence of American
Indians in Robeson County.
In 1935, an anthropologist with
the former Commission of Indian
Affairs examined 209 people to
determine whether they had a half-
degree or more of Indian blood.
The commission sent letters to 22
people in 1938 saying they were
entitled to benefits under the Indian
Reorganization Act. but they were not
given tribal status.

taxes has fallen from 118 percent in
the 1987-88 fiscal year to 6.6 percent
the past fiscal year, according to data
supplied by the General Assembly's

corporate burden can be traced to
the economic downturn, tax shelters
and a lowering of the corporate

The share of lax revenue coming
from individual income taxes
rose from 467 percent of total tax

Southern California wildfire
nearly contained after destroying
two mobile homes, nine vehicles
TEMECULA, Calif. (AP) - Firefighters
on Monday began to get the upper
hand on a 2,334-acre wildfire that
had threatened as many as 400
homes in Riverside County.
The blaze, which broke out in a motor
home on Sunday afternoon, was 90
percent contained Monday morning,
said Stephanie Swanstrom, a county
fire information spokeswoman
It had threatened as many as 400
homes before firefighters began
to surround it overnight. The fire,
which spread from the motor home
to nearby vegetation, destroyed two
mobile homes and nine vehicles.
About 540 firefighters, aided by
four helicopters and two air tankers
battled the flames throughout the day
Sunday until the aircraft had to be
grounded at dusk.
Temperatures, which reached the
90s in the area on Sunday, were
expected to soar to near 100 on
Monday.

when its most powerful legislative
panel ruled the territory won t have
direct elections for its next leader or

March for Women's
Lives largest protest in
American history
PETER KALAJIAN
STAFF WRITER
More than one million
men, women and children par-
ticipated in The National March
for Women's Lives in Washing-
ton, D.C. Sunday.
The march addressed issues
from abortion rights and con-
traception to sex education
and worldwide reproductive
concerns.
At final count, the march
was confirmed as the single
largest protest march in U.S.
history.
A coalition of women's
groups, including the National
Organization lor Women and
Planned Parenthood organized
the event.
Demonstrations and speeches
were held on the National
Mall, directly in front of the
Capitol building, and the march
proceeded for several miles
past the White House and
through downtown Washing-
ton.
1 ining the protest rmrtr,
several hundred anti-abortion
activists and religious groups
offered a differing perspective
on the issues. Police detained
more than 40 individuals
throughout the day for pro-
testing without a permit.
The march eventually
returned to the starting point
where a number of celebrity
speakers and national women's
rights advocates took the stage.
Presenters included such
names as actor Ashley Judd,
Julianne Moore, former Secretary
of State Madeline Albright and
media mogul led Turner.
Long-time pro-abortion
activist and comedienne Whoopl
Goldberg took the stage bran-
dishing a coat hanger, a symbolic
gesture of the millions of back-
alley abortions performed before
abortion was legalized in 1973,
"Some people asked me why
1 came on stage carrying a coat
hanger, and I'll tell you why; it's
because we're never going back
to the way it was. Never said
Goldberg.
Since September 11th, Wash-
ington, D.C. has maintained a
closed airspace over the city, so
no news helicopters were allowed
to film the march from the
air.
Security around the march
was tight, with municipalities
in Virginia and Maryland con-
tributing reinforcements for
the Washington Metro Police
Department.
Dozens of riot police and
officers on horseback lined
the protest route, maintaining
a separation between pro-life
activists and marchers.
A number of streets, most
notably Pennsylvania Avenue,
were closed to traffic for the dura-
tion oi the day's activities.
A Secret Service helicopter
circled the crowd all afternoon.
Women's rights activist Moby
ended the afternoon with an

Our View
TEC would
like to take
the oppor-
tunity to
congratu-
late those
graduating
seniors who
have contrib-
uted to this
university in
one way or
another.
It is amazing that yet another year is coming to
an end and some students will soon be packing
their bags to head home for the summer while
others will be forced to crack open the books
and partake in summer courses at ECU.
Regardless, some things always remain the
same. An entire segment of the current student
population will no longer be considered stu-
dents at ECU, but forever known as alumni.
TEC would like to take the opportunity to
congratulate those graduating seniors who
have contributed to this university in one way
or another.
We wish you the best of luck in your future
endeavors, and may the education that you
received guide you through your career path
as well as life.
To think the university has changed so much
over the last year. There were many changes
in the administration including the loss and
gain of a chancellor. Construction littered the
campus, bringing renovations and a better
ECU to Greenville. Crime plagued the campus
and students looked to administrators for
heightened safety in dorms, causing security
measures to be altered indefinitely.
As German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche
once said, "What doesn't kill us makes us stron-
ger Although the future of the ECU community
is unsure, we do believe this year's events will
only help to make our university a stronger,
more reputable one.
Over the past year, TEC has also experienced
many changes. Our staff has worked hard to
bring the campus the most relevant and timely
news possible. Just as the university continues
to change and grow, so does our paper.
However, the quality of a student newspaper
is only as good as the students deem it to be.
Whenever you read something that makes you
upset or helps you relate, we encourage you to
voice your opinion to us, whether it be through
a letter to the editor or joining our staff.
Yes, it has been an amazing year. So much
has changed and yet we have come back to a
common place - commencement.
Congratulations, graduates.
The purpose of TEC's opinion pages is to invoke
conversation in ECU's community. To respond to an

In My Opinion
Four years later and all grown up
ECU's effects delayed
but endearing
MICHELLE MCLEOD
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
I'm not sure when it
happened, but sometime
between being dropped off at
Jarvis Hall freshman year and
)I.iiiii� iiK for next weekend's
graduation, I realized that I'd
grown up.
I don't mean "grown up"
in terms of gelling a job and
paying all my own bills �
although after graduation, I
know that's what's nexl.
Hour years ago, I arrived
on campus a naive, obnoxious
freshman. Now, I'm leaving�
still a little obnoxious hut
definitely smarter and wiser.
And when I think back, I can
attribute this evolution only to
ECU and the experiences I've
had here.
My decision to attend
ECU was not rooted in any
long love affair I had with
the school. Being a Baltimore
native, ECU was far enough
away from home to rule out
pop-up family visits but close
enough to travel home on the
holidays. That, and the fact
(hat the purple-trimmed letter
read "Accepted
Now, I can honestly say
my decision to attend ECU
was the right one, but three
years ago, three months
ago or even three days
ago, I'm not sure I was aware
of it.
After reflecting on what I
would write for my last edi-
torial, these feelings kind of
crept up on me.
It was during this time I
realized those acquaintances
I met during freshman year
are now treasured friends.
Those professors I
despised for assigning too
much work in too little time
taught me responsibility and
accountability.
The job I took as a copy
editor al the school newspa-
per my sophomore year has
given me the opportunity to
play an active role in my uni-
versity community and has;
more than anything, clarified
the direction of my future.
And the school I chose for
all the wrong reasons now has
a special place in my heart.
ECU has proven educa-
tional in the experiences I've
been offered both in and out
of the classroom.
After four years of educa-
tion, I feel that I have been
taught the skills that will
ensure success in my future
endeavors.
Compared to journalism
schools across the country,
or even across the state,
the Strength or weakness of
my undergraduate program
is debatable�but my pro-
fessors made the best of it
and inspired me to do the
same.
Serving as editor-in-chief
of The East Carolinian is an
experience that is hard to ver-
balie, because to me, doing so
doesn't do it justice.
It's an experience that 1
wouldn't trade for anything in
the world, as it allowed me to
work with a talented and moti-
vated team of "ECU's finest
Living and breathing 7"�C for
the last year has allowed me
to learn a lot about myself and
other people.
Somewhere, amid all the
stories and pictures, this
experience taught me the
importance of teamwork.
Amid all the meetings
and deadlines I learned that
my opinion is not always the
right one.
And somewhere amid all
the complaints and concerns,
I developed the tools necessary
to make it in the "real world
For those students continu-
ing at ECU, my only advice can
be summed up in the some-
what clich6, but appropriate
adage, Carpe Diem.
Don't squander the oppor-
tunities that ECU has to offer.
It's never loo late to make the
most of your time here.
Each new school year holds
new promise, another year to
get better grades, another year
to become more involved,
another year to prove that
you can do whatever you set
your mind to.
Because the worst end to a
college career is looking back
and having no memories,
no moment when you took
a stand, no time when you
fought for your university to
be a better place.
ECU gave me the encour-
agement and the opportunity
to do these things. For these
reasons, I'm proud I'm a
Pirate.
Thank you, ECU.

Coffee, Tea or Pee?
The diaperless baby
threatens sanitation
ANTHONY MCKEE
STAFF WRITER
Picture this if you can: You
are in a nice restaurant with your
significant other. You are sitting in
a secluded lxoth waiting for your
food to come. Solt music is quietly
playing over the speakers.
Your conversation is soft,
about nothing in particular. The
tone of voice, exchanged looks
and gentle touches leave no doubt
as to how the night will end. The
anticipation makes your stomach
flutter
Your food comes and you
begin acting.
Suddenly, a woman si reams,
jumps up. gtabs her baby and
runs down the aisle toward the
rest room (and you), holding the
child at arms length and howling
a drawn-out, anguished "N-o-o-
o-o-o You quickly see why.
Flowing Iron) the child, like
water through a hose, is a steady
stream of urine. You notice is
the woman gets closer that It is
spraying everywhere, left, right,
up, down, as the child is houm (d
around in the mother's mad
dash.
As they come closer to your
table, you both duck. A futile
effort.
As they pass and you both get
splashed, you notice your food
and drinks also being hosed.
Your appetites, and the amo-
rous evening, are ruined.
What would you do in such a
situation?
While the question and the
situation are rhetorical at the
moment, they may become rela-
tively common occurrences.
In response to the "disposable
diaper crisis" currently befalling
the world's landfills, some envi-
ronmentalists openly espoused
babies going diaperless during
the recent celebration ol the
!4th annual Earth Day.
It would appear (as stated by
People Smarter I han You) that
disposable diapers can take up
to S00 years to fully decompose
(I'll leave it to the imagination
as to how they got that figure).
Not only that, but they can take
up as much as one-half of one
percent all the way to almost 2
percent of landfill space.
Gasp!
Alright, to some people
those are daunting Statistics.
Still, it's no big deal, lust throw
Jack or Jill's little bottom into
cloth diapers and get on with
life. Problem solved, right?
Well, actually, no. Unless,
that is, you want to be seen as
one of the planets evil pollut-
ers (Re. conservatives) andor, as
one i reative individual phrased
it. part of "the Evil Empire of
Western Diapering
It seems thai the amount
ol laundry detergent and water
needed to clean those cloth
diapeis sends shivers of horror
down environmentalist spines
as well as giving them visions
of planet-wide disaster. And
since these people can't wait
lor science to invent a better
mousetrap err diaper; their
only solution is no diapers at all.
They see it as a "retro, cutting-
edge environmentally friendly
scheme
For those of you who are - or
plan to be- "good" parents, don't
fret. Everything has already been
figured out for you.
The organizations (and yes,
there are several) advocating the
diaperless approach have books,
instruction manuals, Web sites
and advice columns designed to
instruct ignorant parents.
While these can be verbose
and overly awed about primitive
toileting skills, they all boil down
to one basic philosophy: Get "in
tune" with your baby's bodily
signals and "hold them over
toilets, buckets and shrubbery or
any other convenient receptacle
when nature calls
And for those times when
you go out, bring along a tightly
lidded bucket for your little
bundle of joy.
Can you imagine the prob-
lems that would be created if
this idea caught on?
What would your neighbor,
or the local fast food joint man-
ager, have to say if they caught
you holding Jack over their
bushes because you missed "the
signal?" Or if you were eating and
Jill's earlier meal was being, shall
we say, evacuated with gusto? Or,
as first postulated, you got a warm
shower because the "timing" was
off? Who would willingly put up
with that?
Additionally, there are par-
ents who are either unwilling
or unable to potty train their
children now, with diapers. How
many stories have you heard
about children as old as five or
six and in school still wearing
diapers? What happens if they
don't wear diapers at all? Would
you want to send your children to
school under those conditions?
What about the cleanup
responsibilities? If you can't get
some people to clean up after
their pet (inside or outside) how
can you expect them to clean up
after their baby? Will we eventu-
ally have to look out for baby as
well as dog poop before we sit in
the park or on the beach?
Of course, the diaperless baby
is not the only toilet issue that
some environmentalists have an
inordinate interest in.
Some of the other intensely
interesting issues are the flush-
ing toilet (an "environmental
disaster" according to some)
and urinals.
That is why Al Gore is affili-
ated with a "waterless urinal"
manufacturer and there is a
strong push for acceptance of
"dry toilets" (These are boxlike
contraptions that, when you are
done, you have to cover your
waste with sand or some other
substance. Oh yeah, you also
have to empty them when they
are full).
There are phrases, both
psychological and cultural, for
people fixated on toilet issues.
All things considered, they seem
appropriate at the moment.
As crazy as this may sound,
these, and other equally absurd
ideas, have supporters, both
private and political. And even
ludicrous ideas can catch on.
Anybody hear of pet rocks or
the "Invisible pet"?
These people intend to force
their ideas on everyone else. They
believe that they know, and care,
more than you and me - that
they are right and everyone else
is stupid. That's a dangerous and
arrogant combination.
But getting back to diaper-
less babies, the day may well
come when that's an acceptable
practice.
If it does, you might as well
get into the habit now of carrying
a raincoat or umbrella with you
when you go out to eat.

Selling books brings unexpected cash
Students can shop
around for best rate
KRISTIN DAY
STAFF WRITER
Now that the semes-
ter has ended, it's time to
sell that book you use to
prop up your table. But
getting rid of your books is
not about saving space; sell-
ing books back is about getting
the most money possible.
Book buy back started
yesterday and will run until
the last day of exams on
May 3.
Director of Dowdy Student
Stores Wanda Scarborough
said students receive half
the price the store will
sell the book for next
semester.
However, the bookstore
can only take back a cer-
tain number of each text.
Waiting until the last day
to take a book back might
result in a new addition to
your bookshelf.
Textbook Manager of
UBE. Tony Parker said his
store does not take books the
professor does not request.
He also said the store will
not accept books that
have no national wholesale.
I'arker said if UBE can use
a book next semester, they
will give the student SO per-
cent of the purchase price
back.
UBE will extend its hours
during the book buy back
period, and Dowdy has trail-
ers set up around campus for
students' convenience.
If you miss the deadline
to sell back, Scarborough
said Dowdy always buys used
books. Selling them back at a
later time, however, may result
in a loss of money
Scarborough also said there
is a small possibility thai a
book could be bought back
next semester it students still
need it.
Another option many stu-
dents are trying is selling their
books on the Internet.
I Kay and Amazon.com
a I low users to sell books directly
to other students and get
a fair amount of money in
return.
But it pays to
read the line print.
Cheapbooks.com is part
of Amazon. The Web site
says putting an item in its
marketplace doesn't cost "until
your item sells "
After someone buys
the book, Amazon
receives 99 cents plus a sales
fee.
TeXtbookX.com is another
book selling Web site.
It claims sellers tail reirise
up to WO percent more
than typical buy back piiies.
During the week of
Other sites, such as
ecampus.com, will buy

teacher to inform their class
demand, the amount increases.
I he people at bookbyte.com
offer an additional 10 percent
for in-store credit. They also
accept lab manuals and study
guides as long as they can be
used again.
Phis is especially useful
if Dowdy or UBE will not
take a book back because
the accompanying CD is
missing.
IF every other option falls,
you may try asking your
next semester that they can
buy the required text
from you for a cheaper
price than bookstores.

Alumni Association announces
2004 service award winners
Three people honored
for commitment to ECU
LUKE SPENCER
STAFF WRITER
The ECU Alumni Association
announced it would recognize
three North Carolinians in 2004
for their dedication and service
to ECU.
Two different types of awards
will he jjivon: The Distinguished
Service Award and two I lonorary
Alumni Awards.
The Distinguished Service
Award is one of the most presti-
gious giver by ECU to its alumni.
According to the Alumni
Association, the award "recog-
nizes individuals who attended
ECU and have demonstrated
exceptional loyally and sup-
port" to the university. This
year's Distinguished Service
Award recipient is Betty Speir.
Speir, a 1963 ECU graduate
who received her master's degree
in educational administration, is
a retired guidance counselor. She
worked at North Pitt High School,
served on the ECU Board of
Trustees from 1995-2003 and is a
former member of the North Car-
olina State Board of Education.
In addition to Speir's Dis-
tinguished Service Award, the
Alumni Association also pre-
sented Honorary Alumni Awards
to James "Jim" Black, speaker of
the North Carolina Mouse of
Representatives, and to Betty
Debnam, a former teacher and
the creator and editor of The
Mini Page.
The Honorary Alumni Award
is given to individuals who did
not attend ECU but have shown
loyalty and support of the uni-
versity.
Black was selected for rec-
ognition because of his support
for the proposed cardiovascular
institute at ECU.
Debnam was selected
because of her long service to
the university. She was inducted
into the College of Education's
Hall of I'ame in 2003 and has
agreed to fund two recent uni-
versity initiatives: the Debnam
Early Literacy Resource (ienter in
Joyner Library and the Debnam
Early Literacy Scholarship in the
College of Education.
"These three recipients exem-
plify service to their community
and service to this institution,
and we are gratified to be able to
recogniethat service said Paul
Clifford, associate vice chancel-
lor for Alumni Relations.
The Alumni Association will
formally present the awards at
the annual Awards Ceremony
May 7 at the Greenville Hilton.

DANIEL SHUMAN
STAFF WRITER
I :ive seniors will be given the
Robert II. Wright Alumni Leader-
ship Award at ECU's commence-
ment ceremony Saturday. May 8.
Drew Edward Davis, Gail
Kennedy. Daphne Harrington,
Kevin Lamm and l.eanne Smith
will receive the prestigious
honor.
Kennedy, a 52-year-old
mother of two, said, "I feel very
honored to receive this award. I
guess being dedicated to what I
was trying to achieve helped me
earn it
After raising two children
who graduated from college
and now work in Raleigh, Ken-
nedy left her job as a teach-
ing assistant to finish her
education as an elementary edu-
cation major.
In addition to keeping up a
household in Johnson County,
she got an apartment in
Creenville to make it easier for
her to attend school, Kennedy
said. She graduates with a 4.0
GPA and has already begun her
new career, having been released
early from student teaching
requirements to take a full-time
first grade teaching position.
According to the Alumni
Center, Davis and Lamm
will both finish their
undergraduate studies with a
degree in economics with minors
in business administration and
business, respectively.
Davis plans to attend BSOM.
Smith, who will continue at ECU
in graduate school, is an English
major
'These five students exem-
plify what ECU is about ECU is
proud to welcome them into the
Alumni Association said Paul
Clifford, associate vice chancel-
lor for Alumni Relations.
He said the only hard-set
standard of qualification for the
award is that the student have a
GPA of 3.5 or higher, and that he
or she be nominated by a faculty
member.
The award recognizes not
only the students' academic suc-
cess, but also their contribution
to the surrounding community.
Collectively, this year's
recipients have volunteered
with organizations such as
Meals on Wheels, the Humane
Society, Diabetes Association,
Relay for Life, Department of
Social Services, Read Across
America and several others.
Some of them may continue to
volunteer after they graduate.
"I've volunteered for
Habitat for Humanity for the
past two years almost every
Saturday, and I plan to keep
doing it after graduation said
Harrington.
The commencement cer-
emony at which the recipients
will be recognized takes place
at Williams Arena in Minges
Coliseum at 2 p.m.

funding will receive their
money.
In the last SGA meeting,
senators approved $375,000 in
lunds for 82 organizations.
I he niirease from the previ-
ous year brought concerns over
whether the budget would be
sufficient.
However, in Monday's meet-
ing senior political science
major loseph Payne reported to
senators that the organizations
wonkl receive their appropria-
tions.
In addition, SGA will be
able to keep its student fee of
S16.S0 per student, which was a
propoted method of meeting the
increased funding needs.
In other business, sena-
tors discussed a resolution in
support of National PanHellenic
organizations having plots on
campus.
Plots are areas or objects
on campuses that recognize
these groups. They can be a
decoration of the group's
colors on trees or even park
benches or blocks on the
ground.
The NPHC is made of the
"divine nine" historically black
fraternities and sororities.
Senators voted and passed
the resolution.

NO WONDER PEOPLE THINK
MARTHA GRAHAM
IS A SNACK CRACKER.
CHICAGO (AP) � As same-
sex couples fight for their right
to marry, some straight couples
- who could marry if they
wanted to - are deciding against
it. Instead, they're registering as
"domestic partners an option
offered by some cities and coun-
ties, mainly with gay and lesbian
couples in mind.
National statistics aren't
available, since some munici-
palities don't track domestic
partners' gender or make their
registries public. But experts art-
noting early signs that, while
the marriage rate continues
to decline, these alternative
arrangements are piquing some
straight couples' interest
Some heterosexuals, follow-
ing a trend already popular in
such countries as Sweden and
France, choose domestic partner-
ship for practical reasons.
Christopher Price and Bonnie
Fletcher, both 25, did so In New
York City last fall so they could
qualify for student housing for
couples at Mount Sinai School of
Medicine, where they are gradu-
ate students.
Not ready to marry, Price
calls their decision "a good, first,
small step
"The first thing you do is you
move in. The next thing you do
is get a dog he says, chuckling.
"And then you'll find out who's
responsible or not
Others are making a political
statement as a show of support
for same-sex couples who don't
have the same option. And some
groups, led by heterosexuals, are
even calling for a "marriage boy-
cott" to protest a proposed con-
stitutional amendment defining
the institution as between a
woman and a man.
"1 just don't think the state
should be in the position of sanc-
tioning who should be a family
and who shouldn't says Jenni-
fer Gaboury, another New Yorker.
She and Jacob Goldfinger,
both i.i, registered as a domestic
partners last year and, instead of
having a wedding, invited family
and friends to their "commitz-

the traditional Jewish breaking
of the glass after they exchanged
vows. But there was no minister
or justice of the peace and no
marriage license.
Gaboury says she arrived at
her decision not to marry in col-
lege, after realizing that a lesbian

friend couldn't do so. Goldfinger
grew to share her views. He says
getting married "would have
been like eating at a segregated
lunch counter
Those calling for a marriage
boycott applaud the decision,
even if dissuading couples from
legally tying the knot is dif-
ficult.
So far, Phoebe Rosenberg
Jones - a straight, single, 26-
year-old from Los Angeles, who
recently posted the site Boycott-
marriage.com - says she's per-
suaded one couple to postpone
their wedding and has others
considering it.
"I would just like to get more
straight people engaged in the
issue - no pun intended says
Rosenberg Jones, whose opposi-
tion to a constitutional amend-
ment inspired her to act.
Dorian Solot says she's also
heard from several couples who
are boycotting marriage. She's
executive director of the Alter-
natives to Marriage Project, a
nonprofit that provides infor-
mation and support to couples
who don't wish to marry - and
that posted its own boycott page
last month.
"It becomes clearer every
day that when it comes to rela-
tionships and families, there's
no one size that fits all says
Solot, who is registered as a
domestic partner with her
longtime companion, Marshall
Miller. They live in Albany, NY,
and recently celebrated, as Solot
calls it, their 11th "unmarried
anniversary
Frank Furstenberg, a sociolo-
gist at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, says it's not surprising I hat
some couples - especially young
ones - are shunning marriage
"as a sign of solidarity" with
their lesbian and gay peers. In
fact, he wonders if pushing the
"one man, one woman" defini-
tion might only further the
trend.
"We are genuinely running
the risk of making marriage
uncool says Furstenberg, a
senior research scholar at the
Council on Contemporary
families.
But David Popenoc, a sociolo-
gist who tracks marriage trends,
calls the idea of a marriage boy-
cott "idiotic
As co-director of the National
Marriage Project at Rutgers Uni-
versity, he argues that the focus
should be on creating more
stable and committed relation-
ships - gay or straight.
"My concern about that is
children. The less stable the
relationship, the worse it is
for children he says. Choos-
ing domestic partnership over
marriage, he contends, often
"represents a decline in com-
mitment
Marion Willctts - a sociolo-
gist at Illinois State University
who has surveyed straight
domestic partners - argues that
that's not always the case.
But she says couples who
choose domestic partnership
need to do more to define their
relationships legally. She found,
for instance, that those she sur-
veyed had done little to prepare
for the death of a partner or a
potential break up.
"It concerned me she says.

Sports Briefs
Manning Involved in draft day swap
In one of the more bizarre first hours in recent NFL draft history, Eli Manning
was taken with the first pick by the San Diego Chargers on Saturday,
for whom he later announced he wouldn't play An hour later, the Giants
obtained him for another quarterback, Philip Rivers, who they had taken
with the fourth overall pick. Meanwhile, the rest of the draft went on around
that soap opera. With the second pick, Oakland took offensive tackle
Robert Gallery of Iowa and with the third, Arizona chose wide receiver
Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh, a ball boy for Cardinals coach Dennis Green
when Green coached in Minnesota. Not only did the Chargers get Rivers,
who completed 72 percent of his passes last season at NC State, but they
also got the Giants' third-round pick this year and their first and fifth next
season
Collins expects to be ex-Giant real soon
Having failed to trade Kerry Collins on Saturday, the New York Giants
reportedly are close to cutting ties with their quarterback of five years
Newsday reported that Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi laid out a
plan to restructure Collins' contract during a Monday morning meeting
and that Collins refused. Collins is owed $7 million in 2004 and the club is
unable and unwilling to keep him at that price after trading for Eli Manning
during Saturday's first round of the NFL Draft, Newsday reported. Collins
told the newspaper he left the meeting with Accorsi with the impression
he would be released later this week. Collins, a 1996 Pro Bowl selection,
struggled last season, throwing for 3.110 yards with 13 touchdowns and
16 interceptions while starting In 13 games. New York ended the 2003
campaign with a 4-12 record.
Chiefs trade for Eagles OL Welbourn
Disgruntled Eagles guard John Welbourn got his wish. The Eagles dealt
the offensive lineman to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday for a fifth-round
pick in this year's draft and a fourth-rounder in 2005. Eagles coach Andy
Reid said next year's selection becomes a third-rounder if Welbourn plays
half of the Chiefs' snaps during the upcoming season. Welbourn told the
Eagles earlier this month that he was unhappy with his contract situation
and wanted a new deal When the team refused, Welbourn asked to be
dealt. He then made his displeasure with the organization public Friday in a
radio interview, during which he questioned coach Andy Reid's recent drafts
The 6-foot-5,318-pound Welbourn could fill the Chiefs' void at right tackle,
which was left when John Tait signed with the Chicago Bears as a free
agent. The Eagles selected Welbourn in the fourth round of the 1999 draft
and he became a starter at left guard the following season. His departure
breaks up a group that has started together for the last four seasons.
Woes didn't impact Rams pick of Smoker
The St Louis Rams found no conflict in drafting a quarterback with a
history of substance abuse one day after defensive end Leonard Little was
arrested on suspicion of drunk driving charges. Coach Mike Martz selected
Jeff Smoker of Michigan State in the sixth round Sunday. Martz said the
situation facing Little, who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a
1998 fatal accident in which he was driving drunk, couldn't be held against
Smoker Police arrested Little for speeding about 4 am. Saturday He was
booked and released after being issued two traffic summons, and a court
appearance has been scheduled for June 9.
Saint Joe's retires Nelson's No. 14 jersey
Saint Joseph s retired jersey No 14 Friday, punctuating the career of Jameer
Nelson, the Hawks' only Ail-American Nelson, a consensus national player
of the year, led Saint Joseph's to a 30-2 record this season, the best mark
in school history. The 5-foot-11 point guard is the school's career leader in
points (2,094) and assists (713). The Hawks won their first 27 games They
reached No. 1 in the AP poll and were a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament
for the first time, advancing to their first regional final since 1981
Broncos coach awarded contract extension
Greg Graham, who led Boise State to a 23-10 record last season and the
first consecutive postseason victories in school history, was awarded a
five-year contract extension Friday worth more than $13 million The state
Board of Education approved the deal, reportedly the most lucrative for a
college basketball coach in Idaho. The Broncos finished the regular season
with a 21-9 record and then beat UNLV and Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the
NIT before losing 66-53 to Marquette Graham, who was 13-16 in his first
season at Boise State, will see his salary jump from $115,000 this year to
$135,000 in 2005, while his media and public appearance compensation
will increase from $40,000 to $90,000. Graham's salary will rise annually over
the life of the contract to $170,000 for the 2008-09 season. Depending on
the teams success. Graham could also receive bonuses up to $12,000
Surratt granted release from scholarship
Miami guard Armondo Surratt will transfer after he was granted a release
from his scholarship Friday, less than two weeks after the school hired
Frank Haith as head coach. Surratt, a sophomore from Oakland. Calif was
originally recruited by former Hurricanes coach Perry Clark, who was fired
last month after going 64-55 in four seasons. Haith was the associate head
l coach at Texas The 5-foot-11 Surratt averaged 5.6 points and a team-high
40 assists last season, starting 29 of the Hurricanes' 30 games. He started
44 of 58 games in his career.

SENIOR WRITER
National Championships.
That's the ultimate goal for all
ECU athletics. In all reality, only
a handful of sports can make it
that far. Pirate baseball will have
an opportunity to bring home a
title over the summer.
ECU is ranked No. 7 in the
nation after 16 consecutive wins.
The Pirate offense was featured
on the front page of ESPN's
college sports Web site, and it
seems that Head Coach Randy
Mazey has his squad bound for
Omaha. Trevor Lawhorn's 19th
homerun on the season was
a two-run walk-off shot that
completed the sweep over
Louisville this weekend.
ECU hopes that next season
will bring similar success to other
Pirate sports. ECU football has
completed spring practice, and
afterjohn Thompson's inaugural
season, the Pirates have nowhere
to go but up in 2004. A one-win
season is over, and some solid
recruits should propel ECU out of
the Conference USA basement.
However, ECU won't climb
too far up the ladder, at least not
for several years. Thompson's era
is just beginning, and with good
recruiting and the departure of
some of the best teams in C-USA,
the Pirates will soon be at the
top. Look for a sub .500 record
in 2004, a better mark in 200S
and back to a major bowl game
in 2006. They will be without star
offensive lineman Brian Rimpf
next season after the Baltimore
Ravens drafted the Raleigh native
in the seventh round.
Men's soccer fell on hard
times in 2003, winning just four
games. Key seniors are departing,
and it could take years just for
second-year Head Coach Michael
Benn to reach a .500 record.
ECU volleyball dominated
their non-conference schedule
but lost their last six games toC-
USA opponents. Alexis Jones was
the only departing senior, so the
Pirates will have a good nucleus
of young players.
Women's soccer fared much
better than their male counter-
parts but will lose standout Penny
Perrott. A 7-7-5 record might
improve a few games in 2004.
Both the men's and women's
swimming and diving teams
The football team had its ups and downs during the season.
have the talent and abil-
ity to bring home a (USA
championship. The two squads
earned second place honors at
the C-USA Championships, and
Diane Parker was named C-USA
Swimmer of the Year for the
second year in a row.
Cross-country displayed a
strong showing throughout the
season and should move up a
few spots in theC-USA meet next
year. The men's and women's
teams both finished 8th in the
conference tourney and it looks
as though the women's squad
will have plenty of experience
coming back.
Bill llerrion got his basket-
ball squad off to a hot start, hut
a key injury to senior Gabriel
Mikulas sent the Pirates into a
tailspin. ECU was able to pull
out late to make the C-USA
tourney. Until powerhouses like
Cincinnati and Louisville leave
C-USA, the Pirates don't have a
legitimate chance at the NCAA
tournament. After another
recruiting class like 2003 and
2004, however, llerrion will take
the Pirates to the Big Dance.
Women's basketball was
absolutely on fire with a 14-4
record, but never won another
game. Courtney Willis will be
missed - the senior averaged a
double-double and was invited
to a WNBA tryout. Coach
Sharon Baldwin-Tener's contract
was renewed and the lady Pirates a
will see a small improvement and
make it past the first round of the
C-USA tourney.
Track and field has been
struggling somewhat, but both
teams will have the opportu-
nity to improve. The season will
continue into the summer and
the men hope to improve on
their eighth place finish in the
C-USA Indoor Championships.
The women came in ninth.
Men's tennis finished
the regular season with an
impressive 14-6 mark but
recently fell to Tulane in the
C-USA quarterfinals. All of the
eight-man roster will be back next
year with hopes of getting deeper
into the tourney.
Women's tennis wrapped up
their season with a 10-13 record,
but expect improvement next
season. They have a key recruit
coming In, and Paulina Sierplnski g
is the only departing Pirate. �

STAFF WRITER
The Pirate baseball team is
on a mission, and their latest
victim was Louisville as they
swept another Conference USA
series on their quest toward
Omaha, Net), and the College
World Series.
After an emotionally drain-
ing victory at NC State on
Wednesday, the Pirates reloaded
to take three from the Cardinals,
6-4, 9-7 and 5-4, in one of their
closest three-game series of the
season.
"They're pretty good said
Head Coach Randy Maey.
"They got a lot of subs st.irt-
ing for them, anil those kids play
with a lot of energy. They've got
nothing to lose. You have to give
those kids a lot of credit because
they battled hard
The reason the Cardinals
started so many subs was due
largely in part to injury of six
Louisville starters. However, they
still managed to make the series a
nail-biter for the Pirate fans.
Game one was a scoreless
affair until the bottom of the
third. Mark Minicozzi led off
the inning with a double to left
field. Billy Richardson's single to
center plated Coz and gave the
Pirates their first lead, l-O. Trevor
lawhorn's two-out single to left
scored Richardson and pushed
the score to 2-0.
(ireg Bunn cruised through
the first lour innings of the con-
test, striking out nine Cardinals
while allowing only one run oil
of an error. I he righty then ran
into a bit of trouble in the fifth
when he gave up a home run to
Mark Jurich, which knotted the
score at 2-2.
Matt Bishop replaced Bunn
in the sixth when Bunn loaded
the bases with two outs on con-
secutive walks. Bishop came up
huge as he struck out Jurich, the
undisputed best offensive player
on the team.
Bishop, who is coming off
of Tommy John surgery, wasn't
scheduled to return until late in
the season, if at all. He did return
and has yet to walk a batter in 20
innings of work.
"I'm just trying to keep
rehabbing and getting ahead of
batters said Bishop.
"That's the key. I don't like
walking people. That's just put-
ting someone on for free
Bishop's clutch three and
one-third innings of work on
Friday allowed the Pirates to
keep the rest of their bullpen
fresh, which would prove to be
huge as the series progressed.
"We didn't want to stretch
Bishop out there Mazey said.
"But he was getting outs.
You know (Thursday) was the
one-year anniversary of his sur-
gery. Many doctors will tell you
it takes 18 months to get back to
100 percent. But he attacked his
rehab. That tells you what kind
of kid he is
The Pirates increased their
advantage to S-2 with a three-
run sixth. Darryl I.awborn led
off the inning with a double to
center. A Minicozzi double scored
Lawhorn and Minicozzi moved
to third on another single from
Richardson. Ryan Jones, who
leads the nation in slugging per-
centage, doubled to the gap in
right center field, scoring both
runners.
Louisville cut the lead to
one in the seventh off a Ryan
McKinnon two-run job but could
muster up no more offense in the
game
Jones drove in another run
In the eighth to produce the
6-4 final.
Minicozzi led the Pirates
at the plate with a 3-for-4 per-
formance with an RBI and two
runs scored. Among so many
great Pirate players, Minicozzi
has slipped under the radar this
season and is quietly having one
ol the best seasons in conference
with a .383 batting average, while
slugging .624 with eight home
runs and 32 runs driven in. This
unsung hero of the Pirates will
definitely be a factor in ECU's
journey toward Omaha.
Paige added three hits with
a run scored. Jones had two hits
with three RBIs and the late-surg-
iug Richardson added two hits of
his own with an RBI and two runs
scored.
The story of game two would
have to be the superhuman per-
formance of red-shirt freshman
Mike Cirace. In a coach's decision,
(irace started his lirst game since
game three of the Charlotte series
and he made sure Mazey would
never regret his decision.
I lie youngster had a grand

competition during their impressive 16-game winning streak.
slam in the first and an equally
backbreaking double in the
eighth that plated I wo more runs
and eventually proved to be the
game winner.
"I wasn't necessarily expect-
ing to have this kind of day when
I found out I was starting said
Grace.
"I just wanted to contribute
any way possible like everyone
else. But 1 was excited to get my
chance today, so 1 just went up
there, relaxed, and good things
happened
Mazey said the decision
to sit Drew Costanzo wasn't ,i
knoi k onostanzo's play of
late, just a coaching hunch that
(irace would have a big game if
he had the opportunity to get
some at-bats.
"It's a sign of a good team
when you can run guys oil the
bench like that and get good
production from them Mazey
said.
"We're going to need Mike,
and he's been sitting for a while,
so I told Drew that I was going
to put him out there today to get
him some at-b.its and keep him
from getting stale over there
The Pirates came out in game
two with the intent ol destroy-
ing an already beat-up Cardinal
team. ECU plated seven first-
inning runs, and it looked .is il
the rout was on.
Paige doubled to begin the
inning. After a walk to Jones and
a single by I. Lawhorn, Grace's
titanic shot brought the crowd
to their feet and gave the Pirates
a 4-0 lead.

Erroyl Bing shines as ECU
All-Stars take ACC Seniors
Game tops $90,000 for
Jimmy V Foundation
ERIC OILMORE
STAFF WRITER
The last time an ECU men's
baskethall team heat a team
afflillated with the Atlantic
Coast conference was more than
25 years ago. On Jan. 27, 1979,
with a close two-point win over
Ga. Tech, the I'irates recorded
their only victory over an ACC
opponent
The drought ended Friday
as a team of ECU former play-
ers united to outscore a team
of ACC seniors, 122-115. In the
game played at Williams Arena in
Minges Coliseum, it seemed to be
more fun than competitive.
KP Sports Co. sponsored
the charity event and helped
to benefit, in part, the Jimmy V
Foundation for Cancer Research.
The event raised approximately
$95,000.
Krroyl Bing understood the
importance of raising cancer
awareness.
"I lost my mother and grand-
mother to cancer, so any time you
can help raise money for a cause
like this, it's great said Ring.
The trio of Lestor Lyons, Der-
rick Wiley and Bing proved to be
too much for a talented ACC
team. Lyons, who ranks second in
career scoring and almost single-
handedly rewrote the ECU record
books, was the oldest player on
the flour However, it did not look
like Lyons lost a step since gradu-
ating in 1994. Lyons led ECU to
its last appearance in the NCAA
tournament in 1993.
Wiley led the Pirates in scor-
ing with consistent jumpers and
an array of dunks. Wiley sank
several three-pointers and lay-
ups to give the I'irates the lead.
Bing, the second all-time
rehouiidcr .it ECU, seemed to be
.it home In the paint battling on
the boards.
Bing was undersized being
matched up with the 6-foot-9
Mai viand senior Jamar Smith.
Marcus Melvin, an N(. State
senior, put on an offensive show
for the ACC team.
Even though official stats
wen- not kept, Melvin dazled
with 45 points, including seven
three-pointers
Melvin was working the
crowd and was seen clicking
his heels in the air after several
three-pointers.
The only Pirate player that
was not coached by ECU Mead
Coach Bill llerrion was Lyons.
Joining Lyons on the roster
were seniors Wiley and Bing,
along with alumni Travis Hol-
combe-laye, Brandon Hawkins,
Garrett Blackwelder and Larry
Morrisey. Shawn Moore, who
graduated for Marshall and
played seven seasons overseas,
also played for the Pirates.
The ACC players included
NC State's Melvin and Scotter
Sherrill, Virginia's Todd Billet.
Wake Forest's Alan Williams,
Maryland's Jamar Smith and
North Carolina's Da mien Price,
Jonathan Miller and Phillip
Mcl.amb.
The trio of North Carolina
players was booed upon entering
the floor. Clemson player Chris
Hobtw was signed up to play but
did not show.
Duke's Chris Duhon and
Georgia Tech's Marvin Lewis did
not participate due to scheduling
conflicts.
The Pirates were in great
danger of being blown out in
the early going. The Pirates
were down 30-10 early but put
together a late run tOCUl the lead
to 57-49 at halt.
The Pirates took their first
lead with a little under 10 min-
utes remaining at 94-92.
Keith Peten,I.O ot KP Sports
Co organized the event. One can
only hope that with a great cause-
in the Jimmy V Foundation, the
game becomes an annual event.
At the very least, it would give
ECU another chance to deteat the
ACC.

Wrestling event to benefit charity
Relay for Life dabbles
in non-running sports
ROBERT LEONARD
STAFF WRITER
Need a break from studying?
Want to watch some professional
wrestling? Want to have the
chance to help save a life? This
Saturday, you can do all three.
Relay for Life, a group
aimed at raising money for
cancer research, in cooperation
with Just Cause Pro Wrestling
(JCPW), is hosting a charity
wrestling event this Saturday
at 7:30 p.m. at the Pitt County
Fairgrounds.
A portion of the ticket
sales will go to Relay for
Life and all the concession
profits will go to the charity as
well.
West Potter, an ECU senior
and the publicity chair for Relay
for Life, is excited about the
event.
"It's going to be a lot of fun
said Potttr.
"And it's for a really good
cause
The Greenville Relay for
I ile Chapter is one of the
largest in the area. The chapter
was able to raise a great deal of
money last year lecause of fund-
raising events like this.
Potter, who lost both
grandparents to cancer, knows
the importance of finding a cure
for this sickness.
I seryone should come out to
this event Potter s.iul.
"Just about everyone knows
someone who has been afflicted
with cancer
JCPW only does charity
events and is not as harsh as
wrestling seen on television.
Ron Mills, senior official for
JCPW, likes the product his group
puts out.
"We don't have any cussing
or blood said Mills.
"It's just clean wrestling
Mills also said he would
be officiating the main event,
a match between David
Flair, son of Rick Flair, and
(jeorge South, an old rival of
Rick's.
Tickets are $4 for kids in
advance or $5 at the door, K tor

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. .

Pirate softball team
beats out St. Louis
The Pirates finished their road trip with another sweep, led by pitcher Keli Harrell
Lady Pirates add three
wins to C-USA record
DAVID WASKIEWICZ
STAFF WRITER
The softball team cappd off
their nine-game road stretch in
great style last weekend as they
swept St. Louis In a three-game
series.
The wins improved the l.ady
Pirates' record to 44-16-1 and 8-
10 in conference play.
Coming oil of two previous
losses against North Carolina,
ECU had to get hack on traek
Saturday when they opened
play against St. Louis. Alter a
three-hour rain delay, the l.ady
Pirates suited up in their first
game of the series, which I hey
won i-o. Freshman pitcher Keli
Harrell had five strikeouts and
allowed only one hit in the
team's shutout.
The winning continued
for the l.ady Pirates on Sunday
when they opened up their dou-
bleheadei against the BtUlkeru
with a 14-5 victory.
After starting the game
down 0-4 in the first inning.
ECU responded In' scoring 14
straight runs, which included
a three-run homer by junior
infielder Mandi Nichols in the
top of the fourth.
In the second game of the
doubleheader, LCU's pitching
shined as Harrell once again took
center stage. Harrell recorded
an impressive 12 strikeouts and
allowed only four hits in the
team's 5-2 win.
The win marked Ranch's
13th complete game this season
and set her record at 14-5.
With three conference wins
against St. Louis, the Lady
Pirates are now tied tor fifth in
the Conference USA standings.
ECU will have to maintain their
pace in order to get into the C-
USA tournament at the end of
the season.
This weekend, the l.ady
Pirates will look to improve
their conference record when
they return home for the last
time this season to host South-
ern Miss.
Came one of the three-game
series against the Golden Lagles
starts Saturday at 1 p.m.

Qt line up the dates and do the publicity for every
imaginable student activity
We do the most to improve the student body attitude
and we get the least amount of student body gratitude.
VJt provide a vital service that our campus deserves -
Special events for when books and classes get (n mr nerves.
Our school supports the fine work that we do. You
should see the office they gave us - no windows jio view.
It's hard to know what our school is really thinking.
They keep raising tuition, but our budget keeps shrinking.
It's a thankless job, but someone's got to do it. Mfe
go to NACA Conferences to learn tips to get through it.
VUt plan carnivals, casino nights, concerts, and events
we arrange shows in the student center and hold functions in tents.
We bring our school music and comedy and lectures,
too, And then still people bitch that there's "nothing to do
But the truth of our job at the end of the day is that
it's not about praise and it's not about pay
SXk add to the quality of life at our schools. The
events that we program can be great learning tools.
Being a student goes on well after class. And campus
life with no programs would be a pain in the - butt.
Imagine if textbooks were the only thing ever seea
No events, am, or culture to experience in between.
Imagine if the activities board weren't herecoliege
would be high school - with tuition and beer.
When students meet members who plan �vents on this board,
they should thank (. ixl we're working or they w i il I really be bored
Here's some advice to fellow students, who don't attend events they see here:
" Vbu already paid the activities fee it's kind of stupid not to be here
College events make college memories - a changed heart or genuine thrill
Students should stop and thank a board member, although no one ever wilL
Professors work for tenure, administrators work for prudence.
But we bring this campus to life - for the good of ALL die students.

The Pirates are in the middle of a fantastic season. After 16 straight wins, they are ranked 7.
Steady play t late with a two-
run job to left that gave ECU the
7-0 lead.
I ouiss Ilk would not go qui-
etly, however, and starter Mike
Tisdale was un-hittahle for the
next si innings.
Things got interesting when
Louisville cut the lead to 7-d in
the eighth ofl a Daniel Burton
no-douht-ahout-it home run to
center.
tirace's two-run douhle got
both of the runs back for the
Pirates and gave them a l-)
cushion beading into the ninth.
Luis I'ardo led the ninth
for the Cardinals with a
home run that cut the I'irate's
advantage to 9-7. Carter llarrell,
who began the ninth lor the
Pirates, then struck out the next
Louisville hitter. With a man on
lirst vitb one away, Kartell got
Juried to pop up to third base
for the second out, The next
two batters reached, however,

Members of memorabilia industry
trying to profit from Tillman's death
Specialist Pat Tillman, right, a former Arizona Cardinal, walks next to Capt. Christoper Deale, company commander of
B Company first BN 19th Infantry Regiment. Tillman, an Army Ranger, was killed during battle in Afghanistan last week.
(KRT) � When I arrived at
my office about 9:IS a.m. Friday,
I deckled to check eBay to see if
the ghoul patrol was out. I he
news of former Arizona Cardi-
nal Pat Tillman's death was on
every sports and news radio
Station and, I figured, those so
inclined would be lining up to
make a buck off a true American
hero's death.
Exactly the opposite of what
Tillman would have wanted.
At 9:15 a.m there were only
about six Tillman cards in auc-
tion, none ending within three
days, nothing with an opening
bid over $2. None had bids.
The last auction struck me,
so I opened it. It was one of the
same cards that other sellers
were offering, although it had
a $20 opening bid. A check
of the description showed the
seller knew Tillman. He wrote
of Tillman's death Thursday in
Afghanistan as a member of the
U.S. Army.
I decided to check again
about 2() p.m. The results
were shocking, (here were SI
Tillman items. One was a 2001
Upper Deck MVI' rookie card
with an opening bid of 1 cent
and already up to a staggering
$40,000. On the Uth bid. With
20 hours left.
But, eBay cancelled that the
cancellation read "bidder fraud"
and the bid was back "down"
to $5,000. There appears to be
some angry bidders attempting
to sabotage the auctions. One
bidder's user ID is "dont-make-
money-off- fallen -heroes
Many other items, including
other copies of the Upper Deck
card and a 2001 Fleer Tradition
glossy rookie card, had bids up to
$12,000. lor a card that had no
takers at $2 Thursday.
Then there was the auction
titled "Authentic American Hero
Pat Tillman Autograph It began
Friday. It was over $500.
Many Tillman auctions were
ended early, probably so sellers
could hike minimums.
Thing like this are sick.
Putting an item on as soon as
someone dies is morbid. Think-
ing about profiting because of a
person's death is despicable.
Mike Weber of Hall of Fame
collectibles in Mesa also can't
understand the ghoul mental-
ity.
"I know why you called
Weber said. "It hasn't stopped
ringing all day. lt is kind of
morbid. I told them all that I'm
not up to looking for Tillman
stuff today. 1 did notice that I
have a couple of (autographed)
mini-helmets and they are
$100, what they were yesterday
and what they have been since 1
got them. I guess jacking up the
prices is the way the world goes,
but I won't
Never, never, never
give up.

Kobe Bryant paying steep costs for
defense team: $2 million and counting
KRT) � His defense attor-
neys have tried to tell the
public through 10 months of
pre-trial litigation and reams of
court filings that Kobe Bryant,
their young, charismatic,
multi-millionaire, NBA-star
client and one-time faultless
idol to millions, has suffered as
a man wrongly accused of raping
a 19-year-old woman.
"The accuser's false accu-
sation of rape has exacted a
personal and professional toll on
Mr. Bryant that is as incalculable
as it is indescribable attorney
Hal Haddon wrote in an April
S filing.
What can't be argued is
this case's financial toll an
estimated $2 million ana
counting on Bryant, who returns
to the Eagle County Justice
Center on Monday lor pretrial
hearings.
According to a survey of
legal analysts, private investiga-
tors, security firms, independent
crime laboratories, a private jet
agency and defense experts,
Bryant's continuing battle could
run him close to $10 million by
the time a Colorado jury reads
the verdict.
Bryant, 25, who earns an
estimated $35 million a year
as a marquee Lakers player and
endorser for multiple blue-chip
firms such as Nike and Coca-
Cola, has spared no expense in
lighting the felony sexual-assault
charge that threatens to take his
Hall of lame-hound basketball
career from him and put him in
prison for life.
"How much would you spend
to defend your life?" said (iuss
Guarino, the executive direc-
tor of the Colorado Criminal
Defense Bar.
"Every penny
ON THE DEFENSE
Bryant, who lives with his
wife, Vanessa, and 1-year-old
daughter, Natalia, in Newport
Coast, says he had consensual
sex June 30 with the woman who
was working as a front-desk agent
at the exclusive Lodge and Spa at
Cordillera in Ldwards, Colo.
The woman told Eagle County
Sheriff's Department detectives
that she visited Bryant in his
room and willingly engaged
in kissing and touching before
Bryant forced her over a chair
and raped her.
Bryant was arrested July 4.
He paid $2,500 lo Cilenwood
Springs bail bondsman Richard
Jordan to post the $25,000 hail
for his release.
Bryant then hired the
Denver-based law firm of
Haddon, Morgan, Mueller,
lordan, Mackey Jm Foreman. Part-
ners Haddon and Pamela Mackey,
both well-respected litigators
with high-profile experience,
took the case.
Colorado attorneys estimate
that Haddon and Mackey each
could command $500 an hour.
If this legal team earned $1,000
an hour, a 40-hour work week
would run $40,000; 10 months,
$1.6 million.
'Chancel are that Haddon
and Mackey charged a substantial
initial retainer, significant hourly
charges and have a set, flat fee
with a cap said Scott Robinson,
a Denver attorney familiar with
the firm.
A six-figure retainer in excess
of $250,000 would be "under-
standable and expected" for a
case outside Denver, Robinson
said.
"With two top lawyers in
I lal Haddon and Pamela Mackey,
we're talking seven figures in
total attorneys fees, and that
doesn't even count legal inves-
tigation that would be another
six figures
Also, Haddon and Mackey,
who work full time on the Bryant
case, require a support staff of the
firm's associates, two paralegals
and a security officer, Ed Killam.
They also hired Edwards-based
attorney, Terrance P. O'Connor,
to reduce their 127-mile trips
from Denver west to Eagle.
INVESTIGATIVE COSTS
To build his defense, Bryant's
attorneys have hired at least four
private investigators to comb the
crime scene, interview potential
witnesses and conduct a thor-
ough background search on the
accuser.
Ellis Armistead, the assistant
director of the National Asso-
ciation of Legal Investigators,
said top-notch investigators
charge $125-$150 an hour plus
expenses.
Defense-team investigators
have descended upon 3,500-
resident Eagle to learn about the
accuser, who lived with her par-
ents, a brother and two dogs in a
two-story home on a cul de sac.
They have been to Eagle
Valley Senior High in Gypsum,
where the woman was a cheer-
leader; and to Greeley, where
she was a freshman last year
at the University of Northern
Colorado.
Investigators tracked down
the woman's long-time high
school boyfriend, Matt llerr,
working at Eagle's Texaco gas
station; the Cordillera bellman,
Bobby Pietrack, playing basket-
ball for Fort Lewis College in
Durango; a van load of people
who partied one night with her
in Calgary, Alberta; and a former
friend, Lindsey McKinney, who
briefly lived with the woman in
Eagle and witnessed her May 30
drug overdose.
Said Armistead, a Denver-
based private investigator not
involved in the Bryant case,
"Investigators will go everywhere
to gather every bit information
on every witness
TESTING'S TOLL
The court has allowed Bry-
ant's defense team to conduct
independent laboratory testing
on the case's physical evidence;
rape kits of the accuser and
Bryant, hair and fiber samples,
blood from Bryant's T-shirt
and semen from the accuser's
underwear.
The tests are performed at
the Ventura forensic science
company Technical Associates,
Inc which is run by Marc Scotl
Bryant is spending big bucks on his sexual assault case.
Taylor, a former criminalist in the
Los Angeles Medical Examiner's
Office and a defense consultant
in the 1995 OJ. Simpson double-
murder case.
Each sample that undergoes
DNA analysis costs $1,000, Taylor
said.
The defense already has
retained experts to opine on
every facet of the case from
evidence collection to genital
injuries. Renowned experts
typically charge $300 an hour,
Guarino said.
Forensic consultant Elizabeth
Johnson, formerly ot technical
Associates, already has testi-
fied in the Bryant case. Last
month, University of Colorado
at Denver music professor Rich
Sanders, defense's acoustic foren-
sic expert, appeared in a closed
courtroom tor more than tour
hours to review a 60-minute
audio recording a police detec-
tive secretly took of Bryant's
statements July 2.
Sanders has testilied on audio
recordings ol the Oklahoma! iiy
bombing and 911 tapes in the
Ion Benet Ramsey murder case,
which Haddon worked, and the
Columbine shooting.
"When you look at the names
of the people involved in this
case Guarino said, "Bryant has
spared no expense in getting the
best people on his side
TRAVEL Lot.

expenses for lawyers, experts.

testified during pretrial. Twice
Bryant has paid lor his accuser to
fly in from Palm (teach County,
Ha where she had resided and
worked at a Del ray Beach barbe-
cue restaurant until March.
"Everything costs. Everything
is on the clock. Luckily for Kobe,
he has the resources Guarino
said, "lor a middle-class person,
this would be a bankrupted"
Since his July 4 arrest, Bryant
has made 13 trips to Eagle, char-
tering a 9-15 passenger private
jet through Revolution Air that
flies from Van Nuys Airport to
the Vail Valley Jet Center at the
Eagle County Regional Airport.
A 1,800-mile round trip
would run about an industry-
average $25,000, according to
Rick Kiev, the RaynAir Private Jets
president who has knowledge of
Bryant's travel arrangements.
The Lakers are paying hall
of Bryant's flight costs during
the season, making Bryant's
running tab for charter flights
around $225,000.
Often two or three of Bryant's
security personnel travel on the
charter. But after the March 25
appearance, Mackey flew back to
I os Angeles with Bryant and took
her young children to Staples
( enter for the March 26 Lakers'
game against Minnesota.

THE REAL WORLD VISITS ECU
"X!
at
memories
from last
year and reminisce
friends.
For seniors, this year will forever be remembered as the last time
for many favorite college activities- last tailgate, last Spring Break, last
exam. For freshmen, it was a year of new beginnings with friends,
asses and campus activities. For everyone, it
was a year of entertainment, big
surprises, fun-filled events and,
as always, lots of Pirate pride.
The warm weather of August
welcomed students back as we
celebrated at Piratepalooza before
classes and then again over Labor
Day weekend. The short break prepared
us for September, when we enjoyed
hanging out at Freeboot Friday, cheer-
ing on the Pirates for the first time under
new coach John Thompson and checking
out hot new shows like "One Tree Hill"
and "The O.C Chemistry and electron-
ics majors explored their new home at the
Science and Technology building while we
watched work progress on Rivers and the West
I nl dining hall.
ECU alumnus Vince McMahon gave us the
"Smackdown" in Minges Coliseum, and then Isabel
made her way through eastern North Carolina, bring-
ing back memories of Floyd and fears of flooding.
Greenville lucked out, but we came,
together to help out our neighbors
to the north who received the brunt
of the storm.
While we watched the coastal
flooding on TV, F.SPN2 watched the Pirates play
I louston at Dowdy-licklen, bringing out a huge
crowd for the Tuesday night game. "Bennifer"
canceled their high-profile wedding, Britney
and Madonna shared a
"special" moment and
"Joe Schmo" intro-
duced a new twisted
level to reality TV.
October
brought in cooler DOWNTOWN ON
weather, A Chorus
Line and the first game in
history played in Pirate territory against the
Tarheels. MTV and Nappy Roots visited as
part of the Homecoming
College tour and down-
town Greenville hosted
another crazy Hallow-
een night with increased
security and expanded areas
to contain the crowd. Arnold
surprised us with a victory in California and Demi and
Ashton became Hollywood's hottest couple.
ECU went Primetime in November,
complete with homecoming skits, pep
rallies, parades and an exciting double-
overtime game against South Florida. 1
WRNS took over Minges with a concert that f
included stars Jo Dee Messina, Sara Evans and
the Charlie Daniels Band.
With Thanksgiving break around the
corner, students buckled down for the end of the semes-
ter and looked forward to a long winter break.
Cast members from "The Real World" brought
diversity to campus in December with a visit that
ended at Barcode, the new gay club in town. While
Coral and Malik partied with the Pirates, Martha
Stewart and Michael Jackson started the biggest court
scandals of the year.
We rang in the New Year and returned to school listening
to stories of Britney's marriage and BCS blunders. Panthers'
fans supported the home team onto the Super Bowl where
we experienced a close but disappointing game and the
'wardrobe malfunction" seen around the world.

The band described them-

Silent Sunday News has only
lK-eii together for about two or
three months and Not So Quiet

so this is an exciting event for
them.
They will be the first band

at the musii fest.
" There is a lot of pressure on
this show, but we are optimistic
and confident of our set said
Matthijs, who helped organize
Not So Quiet Riot as well as
The Argument will perform on Saturday. May 1

Letdown will be playing in
the second set from 7:45 p.m. -
8:25 p.m. The band consists
of Steve Partin on guitar and
vocals, Matt Robinson on bass
and vocals and Brett Wells on
drums and vocals.
Letdown formed in Chapel
Hill in 2001 when Partin and
Wells, a metaljaz drummer
and singer from Greensboro, got
together to form a band. Later,
they met Robinson, a hard-
tore bassist from Raleigh, and
instantly fit together.
Letdown has just lost a guitar
player who is studying physics,
but instead of finding someone
new, they feel they work best now
as a three man band.
"Our songs vacillate

Save room for sweets
Beauty products look
good, taste great
RACHELLANDEN
SENIOR WRITER
The old saying "A KCOnd on
the lips, a lifetime on the hips
need not apply.
A recent trend in flavored
beauty products presents a vari-
ety of lip and body treats that
taste as good as they look. From
lip glosses to body powders to
beliy button fragrances, flavors
are the focus of this season's
newest beauty buys.
Urban Dei ay and the Dessert
line by Jessica Simpson are some
of the newest and hottest names
in this flavorful market.
At $15, Urban Decay's XXX
Shine Lip Gloss boasts lots of
shine plus a peppermint flavor
that instantly refreshes breath.
The XXX Slick PotGloss, also
$15, provides more options with
four available colors, each with
its own unique flavor, for a red
stain and cherry flavor, try Gash.
For a more neutral tone, Sin is
beige with a coconut flavor.
Urban Decay's Lip Gunk also
smells and tastes delicious. With
fun names like ACDC, I it tor,
Hig Bang and Mid-
night Cowboy,
you can
cover
your lips with the taste of jel-
lybeans, vanilla pudding, cin-
namon red hots and mandarin
orange.
Urban Decay doesn't stop
with just tasty lip coverage.
You can dust on their shim-
mery body powders for $25.
Try honey, cherry lemonade or
caramel. They even recommend
mixing the cocoa ami marshmal-
low flavors together for a unique
s'more savor.
All Urban Decay products
can be purchased at their
Web site as well as in select
boutiques including IMta and
Sephora. Ulta stores are located
in Gary and Charlotte Sephora
also has a location in Charlotte,
but its closest store is in the Crab-
tree Valley Mall of Raleigh.
Sephora also sells products
in the Dessert line. Created
by Jessica Simpson and Clean
Fragrance founder Randi
Shinder, Dessert currently oilers
fragrances, creams and glosses
with sweet scents and tempting
tastes More products, including
exfoliating sugar scrubs and
sheet i heck ulors, are yet to be
released.
Like those in the Urban Decay
line, body and lip glosses by
Dessert shimmer, shine and taste
oh-so-sweet, but the prices are
also slightly steeper. Body gloss
costs $32 and lip gloss is $21.
Deliciously Kissable Fra-
grances come in three blends:
I tench vanilla and caramel in
Creamy, milk chocolate and
coconut in Dreamy, and berry
and green bouquet in Juicy. A
1.7 ounce fragrance costs $45.
For the slightly more
adventurous, Creamy, Dreamy
and Juicy are also available as
Deliciously Kissable Belly Button
Love Potion Fragrances and Kiss-
able Whipped H dyreams with
Candy Sprinkles. The rich and
smooth cream and belly button
fragrance rolls on at $34.
Despite their rapidly
growing popularity, Urban
Decay and Dessert have not
yet cornered the market. Lip
Smackers by Bonne Bell, lip
glosses by Hurt's Bees, and lip
balms and glosses by l.otta l.uv
are still hot-ticket items.
(listing significant!) less
than lip products by Urban Decay
and Dessert, these other brands
bring color, shine and, of course,
flavor to lips with a versatile
smorgasbord of selections
Lip Smackers' tastes include
pink lemonade, cotton candy,
red licorice, milk chocolate mint
and more. Burl's Bees glosses
are fruil-llavored and l.otta Inv
balms and glosses hint that they
are bad for you.
Even with flavors like Sweet
l.irts, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups,
Iwinkies, Cinnabon. footsie Roll
and Junior Mint, you don't have
to feel ashamed for slathering it
on. or going back for seconds or
thirds.
Go ahead and indulge
yourself with the newest in
lip and body products. They'll
make your lips and skin look
great, plus they're calorie free
so you'll never have to teel guilty.
Who knew looking this good
could taste this great?

she was ashamed to be from the

Toby Keith's "( oiutesy ot the
