THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Sexual assault
awareness week
continues
Students learn, remember
KRISTIN DAY
STAFF WRITER
The Wellness Education and the Center For
Counseling and Student Development cosponsored
this year's sexual assault awareness week.
A "Take Back the Night" march is being held
tonight starting at the top of College Hill, where
participants will walk carrying signs and banners
to their ending destination on Fifth Street. The
participants will also perform chants while on the
march to help inform other students about their
cause. Students will then go to Joyner library where
they will listen to a speaker.
Last week's events included a self-defense class
and a candlelight vigil for survivors of sexual assaults.
These events were designed to increase student
awareness about the problem and show them how to
prevent such instances from occurring in the future.
Tywanna Jeffries, assistant director for wellness
education, said the march has been well attended,
attracting hundreds of students every year. Her hope
is to make all students conscious of the problem.
"Basically, our goals are to make students aware of
different resources available to students on campus if
something were to happen to someone said Jeffries.
Jeffries said students' first resource is the ECU
Police Department, and if a student is assaulted,
they should always contact the police.
A fact sheet from the North Carolina Coali-
tion Against Sexual Assault (NCCASA) said only
46 percent of victims reported their case to North
Carolina law enforcement officials in 2002.

Peace Vigil comes to campus
The World Peace Vigil was held on the steps of Joyner Library Tuesday evening. The event, sponsored by the Student Involvement
Team, featured guest speakers on the subject of peace and performances by the ECU Gospel Choir and Native American drummers,
Grey Wolf Junior. The event is part of World Peace week, with more events to occur during the rest of the week.
Resource fair held for students
Information provided
for students in
health related majors

NEWS EDITOR
Students seeking degrees or
careers within health related
fields attended an informational
fair held yesterday from 10 a.m.
- 2 p.m. at the Wright Plaza.
Shelly Myers, director of the
academic enrichment center, said
the event is mainly geared toward
freshmen and sophomores who
are interested in beginning their
majors in health related fields.
She said upperclassmen who are
still determining their major can
also benefit from the services.
Students interested are able to
receive brochures about the topic
they are interested in pursuing
and representatives from each
major described the different
majors to them.
"It's really educational, there
are so many degrees relating to
health fields, and it's kind of hard
to know where to begin when
you first come in as a freshman
said Myers.
The main goal of the event
was to educate students about
majors in health fields and help
students solidify their decisions
about their majors, Myers said.
Students can also receive infor-
mation about how to prepare for
professional school after they
complete their undergraduate
degree.
Aspects of health including
recreation therapy and clinical
lab science that incoming stu-
dents would not have had previ-
ous learning of in high school
were also there and geared to help
students learn more about their
programs.
There were several changes
made this year to the event in
an effort to overalfimprove the
event. These changes included
the new location, new organiza-
tions and increased marketing.
"We're seeing more students
out here than we have before
Myers said.
The new advising center is
also a part of this event. They are
there to give students an idea of
their majors and where they are
going within their majors.
Tara Honesty, academic advi-
sor at the Bate advising center,
who was set up at the event said
brochures and documents indi-
cating four year plans were being
offered to students. The four year
plans are intended to set a course
load for each semester to finish
within four years.
The services were also offered
to students who were unsure of
what they wanted to do.
There is a growing interest in
these fields within ECU. This past
summer at orientation, there was
a medical allied health meeting
which attracted 350-400 incom-
ing students who are interested
in health fields.

Speakers inform students of electoral process
Meeting held in
Jarvis Residence Hall
COLEWAHAB
STAFF WRITER
An elections meeting was
took place last night in Jarvis
Residence Hall featuring several
speakers who informed atten-
dants on the electoral process,
absentee ballots and the impor-
tance of voting.
Tony McQueen, a representa-
tive from the Pitt County Board of
Elections Office, outlined the elec-
toral process, providing a diagram
of the districts within Pitt County
and supplying a large sample
ballot for the upcoming election.
He also addressed a growing
problem regarding voter turnout.
"They don't think it counts
or means anything. The biggest
thing is trying to get people to
change their minds about what
their vote means said McQueen.
Even though voter registra-
tion has increased among college
students, many students who
register do not follow through
and end up voting McQueen
said. It is important to finish the
voting process and participate in
the election.
Antwan Hall, senior political
science major, addressed various
political parties and emphasized
the importance of voting.
"Look at the election in 2000.
Look at how close it was. Ifthat'snot
an indicator that every vote counts,
I don't know what is said Hall.
If a voter does not live in the
town where they are registered
to vote, the voter can still vote
by contacting the local Board of
Elections Office and vote using
an absentee ballot.
McQueen said a person
�would have to give your name

Scott Carter, assistant director
for training staff and academic
support, said regardless of what
you may see on television, each
candidate has their own Web site,
making it simple to see what each
candidate is talking about by
visiting their Web site.
McQueen said the United
States ranks last among all the
nations of the world in voter
turnout. Considering that this
nation is thought primarily as
the birthplace of democracy, both
McQueen and Hall agreed voter
turnout should be higher than
other nations.
McQueen said you never know
whether or not it will be your
vote that may win the election.

With the 2004 Presiden-
tial Election only weeks away,
presidential candidates Bush and
Kerry focus on the economy, spe-
cifically employment, to win the
votes of concerned middle-class
Americans.
Republican candidate and
current president George Bush
do not have a detailed economic
program for the next four years,
but plan on extending the 2001
and 2003 tax cuts to ensure con-
tinued economic growth, accord-
ing to MSNBC's Web site. Bush
also plans to implement jobs for
the 21st century initiative.
"President Bush will provide
$500 million for jobs for the
21st century, which will help
educate and train highly-skilled
American workers in schools and
community colleges as reported
on George W. Bush's Web site.
In a speech delivered on Sept.
9 to employees at Byers Choice
in Colmar, Penn Bush said he
plans to broaden community
college access so that workers can
gain the skills necessary for 21st
century jobs.
"By raising performance in
high schools and expanding
Pell grants for low and middle-
income families, we will help
more Americans start their career
with a college diploma said
Bush.
According to Bush's Web
site, if re-elected, the president
plans to make the tax code more
simple for taxpayers, encourag-
ing investment and improve-
ments and the economy's ability
to create jobs and raise wages.
"In order to keep jobs here,
we've got to be wise about how
we spend your money and keep
your taxes low. Running up the
taxes on the entrepreneurs in
America is bad economic policy
Bush said in his speech to Byers
Choice employees.
President Bush will work to
enable employees to choose paid
time off as an alternative to over-
time pay and to give employees
the option of shifting work hours
during a pay period, Bush's Web
site said. In his speech to Byers
Choice employees, he promised
them and all American citizens
that flex-time and comp-time
will allow families to have more
quality time.
"President Bush will provide
assistance to help America meet
his new goal of creating 7 mil-
lion new, affordable homes in 10
years Bush's Web site said.
The current president also
plans to help small businesses
KERRY
afford health care by allowing
small firms to form larger groups,
enabling them to purchase insur-
ance at the discounts available to
big companies, Bush said.
Democratic presidential can-
didate John Kerry has a four point
economic plan for America if he
is elected president in the upcom-
ing election. Kerry's economic
plan includes creating good-
paying jobs in America.
"John Edwards and I are
going to stop giving tax breaks to
companies that ship jobs overseas
we'll reward the companies
that create and keep good paying
jobs right where they belong in
the United States of America
said Kerry in his radio address to
the nation on Sept. 4. Kerry also
plans to strengthen the middle-
class by cutting taxes and lower-
ing health and energy costs.
According to John Kerry's
Web site, Kerry plans to give a
tax cut to 98 percent of American
families, including up to $1,000
in health care premium relief.
"Kerry and Edwards are
going to invest in the jobs of
the future in the technologies
and innovation to ensure that
America stays ahead of the com-
petition Kerry said.
Kerry said that thousands of
jobs can be created in America if
the country works toward energy
independence, according to
www.issues2000.org.
The last point in Kerry and
Edwards' four-point economic
plan is to cut the deficit and
restore economic confidence.
"We'll cut the deficit in half
by passing the bill that John
McCain and I wrote to end cor-
porate welfare and by making our
government live by the very same
rule that families struggle to live
by all across the country: pay as
you go Kerry said.

NC prisoner acquitted of
threatening to harm Marshall,
family
RALEIGH, NC (AP) - A Halifax County
jury has acquitted a state prisoner of
threatening to rape and kill Secretary
of State Elaine Marshall and her family
members.
Jurors last week found Clarence
Abbott 38, a prisoner at the Caledonia
Correctional Institution, not guilty
of one count of threatening a state
executive officer, Halifax County
District Attorney William Graham
said Monday.
Marshall received a December 2002
letter in which someone threatened
to kill her and sexually assault her
children.
The letter was apparently signed by
another prisoner. Graham said the
State Bureau of Investigation found
Abbott wrote the letter to get the other
prisoner in trouble and to get back at
the Secretary of State's office for not
answering another letter complaining
about a female correctional officer.
Marshall testified In the trial. Before
the threat was made, Marshall had
responded to Abbott in a letter that
she had no jurisdiction over prison
matters.
Marshall said later she thought the
jury had misunderstood the judge's
instructions involving whether the
inmate knew she was an executive
branch official.
She said she found the episode
troublesome.
"There are plenty of jerky letters
that come by everyone's desk said
Marshall. "This was way beyond
that
Abbott is serving up to 10 14
years in prison on a habitual felon
conviction, according to Department
of Correction records. He could be
released in late 2009.
Charlotte police to keep tabs on
potentially dangerous dogs
CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) - Following
a spate of dog maulings, Charlotte-
Mecklenburg police are turning to
a computerized program to try to
identify and track dangerous dogs
before they attack.
Beginning next month, police
patrolling some neighborhoods on
the west side of the city will begin filing
computer reports anytime they spot a
dog that could be dangerous.
That will allow the department's
animal control bureau to investigate
and see if the dog is property secured
and whether its owner is abiding by
the city's dangerous dog ordinance.
"We will follow up on everything they
send us said Capt Tammy Williams,
who heads Animal Control. "We will
make sure (the owner) is complying
with all laws
If the program is a success in
the Westover division, it could be
expanded to other neighborhoods,
the department said.
At least three children in the city have
been seriously injured in dog attacks
in recent months. Two of the children
were attacked in neighborhoods
that are part of the Westover patrol
division.
Eight:year-old Roddie Dumas Jr.
was killed in April when dogs that
belonged to his father attacked
him in the backyard of the family
home, where Roddie was visiting his
grandmother. The father, who was
inside the house when the attick
occurred, is charged with invoiu.itary
manslaughter.
A 7-year-old boy was hospitalized
after being attacked by a pit bull
in July, and earlier this month an
8-year-old girl was bitten on the leg
by a pit bull.
Sgt. Freda Lester, who works in
Westover, said tracking potentially
dangerous dogs could also benefit
officers who respond to calls or serve
warrants in the district by letting them
know when they may encounter an
aggressive dog.

Video on Web site shows
beheading of man said to be
American hostage
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A video posted
Monday on a Web site showed the
beheading of a man identified as
American civil engineer Eugene
Armstrong. The militant group led
by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed
responsibility for the slaying and
said another hostage - either an
American or a Briton - would be killed
in 24 hours.
The grisly decapitation was the latest
killing in a particularly violent month
In Iraq, with more than 300 people
dead in insurgent attacks and U.S.
military strikes over the past seven
days. Earlier Monday, gunmen in
Baghdad assassinated two clerics
from a powerful Sunni Muslim group
that has served as a mediator to
release hostages.
The video of the beheading of the
man believed to be Armstrong
surfaced soon after the expiration
of a 48-hour deadline set earlier by
al-Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group
for the beheading of the three civil
engineers. The men - Armstrong,
American Jack Hensley and Briton
Kenneth Bigley - were abducted
Thursday from their home in a wealthy
Baghdad neighborhood.
CBS admits apologies, concedes
It can't vouch for authenticity of
documents on Bush Guard duty
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS Nows
apologized Monday for a "mistake
in judgment" in its story questioning
President Bush's National Guard
service, claiming it was misled by
the source of documents that several
experts have dismissed as fakes.
The network said it would appoint
an independent panel to look at its
reporting about the memos. The story
has mushroomed into a major media
scandal, threatening the reputations
of CBS News and chief anchor Dan
Rather.
It also became an issue in the
presidential campaign. The White
House said the affair raises questions
about the connections between CBS's
source, retired Texas National Guard
officer Bill Burkett, and Democrat
John Kerry's campaign.
Rather joined CBS News President
Andrew Heyward in issuing an
apology Monday.
"We made a mistake in judgment, and
for that I am sorry Rather said. "It was
an error that was made, however, in
good faith and in the spirit of trying
to carry on a CBS News tradition of
investigative reporting without fear
or favoritism

Two killed as explosion
rips car In Gaza City
GAZA CITY, Gaza City (AP) - An
explosion ripped through a car in the
southern part of Gaza City, killing two
people and wounding eight, hospital
officials said, in what appeared to be
an Israeli air strike.
Witnesses said the targeted vehicle
was a small pickup truck with official
Palestinian Authority license plates,
witnesses said, and bystanders
pulled the two bodies, badly burned,
from the smoking wreck.
Farmer Issam Abdel Khalim, 42,
was driving his donkey cart nearby.
"Suddenly there was a flash from the
sky and I head an explosion he said.
"My donkey jumped and hit the wall,
and I saw the vehicle on fire
Witnesses said Palestinian security
officers pulled two Kalashnikov
assault rifles from the vehicle.
Hospital officials said two of the less
seriously wounded were children.
The dead were not immediately
identified.
The Israeli military said it would have
no immediate comment.
On Sunday, an Israeli helicopter fired
a missile at a car in Gaza City, killing
a Hamas militant and wounding six
other people.
Man slashes 25 children at
Chinese school, briefly takes one
girl hostage
BEIJING (AP) - A man slashed 25
children with a kitchen knife Monday
at a grade school in eastern China
and held a 9-year-old girl hostage for
an hour before police captured him,
the government said.
It was the third time in six weeks that
a knife attack has been reported at
a Chinese school or day care center.
The earlier attacks left one child
dead, injured a total of 42 people and
caused widespread concern about
school safety.
It isn't clear whether such violence
is increasing or whether communist
leaders are letting the state
- controlled media report more
assaults in schools.
In the latest incident in Ying County
in Shandong province, the attacker
was identified as the father of a girl
at the school who had a quarrel with
another resident, the Xinhua News
Agency reported.
Jia Qingyou, 37, went looking for the
other resident at the school when
he dropped off his own daughter;
when he couldn't find the person,
he began attacking students, the
report said.
Xinhua didn't give any details of the
quarrel or say how badly injured
the students were. It also didn't say
whether Jia's daughter or classmates
were among the injured.
Jia took a girl hostage, but "after
an hour of effort by police, she was
successfully rescued Xinhua said
without elaborating.
China has suffered rising crime
and violence as the government
has loosened social controls over
the past two decades. Many towns
seethe with personal grudges
and business disputes,
aggravated by wrenching
economic and social changes,
that can erupt into bombings,
poisonings and other violence.
Most gun ownership in China is illegal
but explosives, knives and other
weapons are readily available.
In the worst recent school violence,
an employee with a history of
schizophrenia killed one student
and slashed 14 others and three
teachers on Aug. 4 at a Beijing
kindergarten.
The school is located within a half-mile
of the compound where President Hu
Jintao and other leaders live, but it
wasn't clear whether any children of
senior officials were involved.
Self-defense training program held at ECU
Class improves student
awareness, security
KRISTIN DAY
STAFF WRITER
The Student Government
Association Invited Lt. LaFrance
Davis of the ECU police to con-
duct a self-defense training class
in the Mendenhall social room
Thursday night as part of campus
safety week.
Davis, a black belt in tae kwon
do and member of Rape Aggres-
sion Defense (RAD) instructed
the students on various self
defense techniques.
Davis said while the class is
important for females, who are
the most common victims of
sexual assault, males too need to
know these techniques being the
more frequent victims of non-
sexual assaults.
She said it is important to be
well-prepared for the worst.
"Most people who don't
have an attack plan freeze said
Davis.
"Feeling confident is half the
battle
Davis said most fights last for
approximately three minutes, so
people need to know the basics
of self-defense in order to get by
In such situations.
"We want to be smart, take
action and get away Davis
said.
She showed the group of
student attendants the most
vulnerable areas on the body,
which included the throat, groin
and foot.
"You can't punch them in
bony areas Davis said.
"You have to punch them
where it is effective and will get
them down quick
Two fingers can put a person
down Davis said as she dem-
onstrated how two fingers
on a throat can have a strong
impact.
Davis also showed them the
right way to punch and how
to get out of certain holds,
and the personal weapons
humans have includ-
ing everything
from the forehead to the ball of
a foot.
She said that if put into a
dangerous situation, the goal Is
to hit as hard and fast as possible,
then run.
"If you don't even do any-
thing, just run Davis said.
Students should also know
where the blue light phones
are, scan parking lots before
they leave a car and yell when-
ever confronted.
"One thing we want to do
is draw attention to us Davis
said.
Students who attended the
class felt they had a better under-
standing on how to protect
themselves.
Shannon O'Donnell, SGA
president said she took the class
just in case something happens
to her.
"Maybe something will trig-
ger so I know how to get away
said O'Donnell.
Another student said she
didn't feel safe on campus by
herself.
Kristen Sweeney, an ECU
student said she became more
aware of her safety when
someone was mugged
near her apartment. Swee-
ney said she benefited
from the class.
"It the class was worth the
hour said Sweeney.
Jonathan Redman, student
campus safety delegate, said
he enjoyed the experience as
well.
"It the class was great, I
learned a lot said Redman.
Students are taught emergency self defense procedures.
"It will improve my con-
fidence when I'm walking by
myself on campus
SGA thought a self-defense
class would benefit students
after recent attacks on campus.
Redman said this is the
firstyearSGAheldsuchan event. He
thought of the idea after Lt. Davis
gave a presentation to his
health class.

Injury may slow James' return to the top
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) � Edg-
errin James scooted through a
hole, darted outside, evaded two
defenders and outran a handful
more in his touchdown run at
Tennessee.
It was James at full throttle
- quick, powerful, elusive, nearly
unstoppable.
Almost three years have
passed since James tore the ante-
rior cruciate ligament in his left
knee, and the Colts believe he is,
finally, beginning to look like the
runner who won the rushing title
in 1999 and 2000.
Now they're hoping a strained
hamstring won't put a detour on
his trip back to the top.
"He thinks he's fine said
Colts coach Tony Dungy. "But
the MRI shows some damage
in there. If he had to go today, I
would say he's doubtful
James, as he often does,
downplayed the injury after the
Colts' 31-17 win In Nashville and
his healing powers may be
as amazing as his running
skills.
Less than four hours after
Dungy said James could miss this
week's game against Green Bay
and possibly more time, James
was running through some light
drills Monday and optimistic he
would play this week.
"With me, things always heal
fast he said. "I might be good to
go or play split duty or whatever. I
can run and do everything
If James cannot play this
week, the Colts (1-1) will use
backup Dominic Rhodes, who
replaced James after the knee
injury in October 2001.
Rhodes rushed for 1,104 yards
- an NFL record for an undrafted
rookie - in the final 10 games that
season and said he will spend this
week preparing as if he will start
even if James makes lt back.
"I talked to Edge a little ear-
lier, and he said he's hurting a
bit Rhodes said. "If he can't
play, I'm ready to go put on a
show
While the Colts are confi-
dent Rhodes can do an adequate
cameo, they would certainly
prefer to have their star runner
in his usual role. After James'
Impressive start, who wouldn't?
He's had consecutive 100-
yard games for the first time since
the knee injury.
He's again breaking tackles
and running on the edge.
He's catching passes In traffic
and taking down blltzers.
The numbers reflect his resur-
gence: 266 yards rushing and
two touchdowns for one of the
league's most potent offenses. He
finished this week as the NFL's
No. 2 runner, 49 yards behind the
New York Jets' Curtis Martin and
James' average yards per carry
have increased significantly. He

First Enron trial brings Wall Street touch
HOUSTON (AP) � A judge
overseeing the first criminal trial
involving former Enron Corp.
executives told prospective jurors
Monday he didn't expect them
to have "come out of some hole
somewhere" and not know of the
former energy - trading giant.
Those chosen for the panel
will decide if four former Merrill
Lynch & Co. executives and two
former midlevel Enron execu-
tives participated in the sham
sale of electricity - producing
Nigerian barges to the broker-
age in 1999 to prop up Enron's
earnings.
Lawyers worked Monday to
trim down the 150 - member
pool to 12 jurors and four alter-
nates.
U.S. District Judge Ewing
Werlein told the prospective
jurors he expected they wouldn't
have "come out of some hole
somewhere" and would at least
would have heard of Enron or
the demise of Arthur Andersen,
convicted two years ago of
covering up for its accounting
client.
When asked if any of the jury
pool had heard specifically of
the barge case, about 10 people
raised their hands. Another two
said they were familiar with at
least one of the lawyers involved
in the case.
Questionnaires distributed
to the potential jurors asked
if they had any ties to Enron,
Merrill Lynch or Andersen, if
they or someone close to them
had a financial interest in the
companies and if they were hurt
by the collapse of Enron and
Andersen.
None of the six defendants
have the notoriety of Enron's
former top managers, such as
founder Kenneth Lay and former
CEO Jeffrey Skilling.
Werlein mentioned Skilling
on Monday as one of the names
jurors would hear during the
defendant James Brown, former head of Merrill Lynch's asset lease and finance group wall
with his wife at federal court.
trial. He also cited former Enron
finance chief Andrew Fastow and
former chief accounting officer
Rick Causey, although none of
the three is on the prosecution
witness list.
Prosecutors contend that
Merrill Lynch's hunger for lucra-
tive banking business from
Enron prompted the Merrill
Lynch defendants to help push
through the sham sale nearly
two years before Enron crashed
in scandal. While not alleged
to have contributed to Enron's
December 2001 bankruptcy,
prosecutors say it's one of many
schemes the company used to
polish a facade of success.
The six defendants are
charged with conspiracy and
fraud, and three face additional
charges of lying to investigators
or a grand jury. Prosecutors say
they knew the sale was a sham
because Enron secretly promised
to buy back the barges.
The defendants, who have
pleaded innocent, are: Daniel
Bayly, former chairman of invest-
ment banking for Merrill Lynch,
Robert S. Furst, the former Enron
relationship manager for Merrill
Lynch, James A. Brown, former
head of Merrill Lynch's asset
lease and finance group, Wil-
liam Fuhs, former Merrill Lynch
vice president who answered
to Brown, Dan Boyle, a former
finance executive on Fastow's
staff and Sheila Kahanek, a
former in-house Enron accoun-
tant.
The brokerage itself avoided
prosecution a year ago by
acknowledging that some
employees may have broken
the law, cooperating with the
government and implem-
enting reforms that pro-
hibit dubious deals.
Six months earlier,
Merrill Lynch paid the Securities
and Exchange Commission $80
million to settle civil allega-
tions involving the barge deal
without admitting or denying
wrongdoing.
Fastow, who became the
government's most high-profile
cooperating witness in January
when he pleaded guilty to two
counts of conspiracy, is alleged
to have assured Bayly that Enron
would buy back the barges.
But Fastow told fed-
eral investigators he didn't
use the words "guarantee"
or "promise" when talking about
the barge deal. He also told
investigators he didn't remember
if Boyle participated.
Security guard shot and killed at Illinois Capitol
SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) �An
unarmed security guard was shot
to death inside the state Capitol
on Monday by a gunman who
then fled in a car, authorities
said.
The officer was killed with
one gunshot to the chest, said
Cot. LarrySchmidt, chief deputy
director of the Secretary of State
Police. Authorities did not imme-
diately provide a motive.
After firing the shot, the
gunman left the building, put
the weapon in the trunk of his
car and drove away, Schmidt
said. He said the guard died in a
hospital operating room.
Springfield police said they
were investigating another
shooting about an hour earlier
at a military surplus store about 2
miles from the Capitol involving
a man who matched the descrip-
tion of the shooter.
The Capitol has no metal
detectors, and its security guards
are not armed.
The Capitol was locked down
for about an hour after the shoot-
ing, following an announcement
over the intercom ordering every-
one to stay in their offices.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich was not
in the Capitol at the time, and
the Legislature is not in session.
The shooter entered the
north entrance and shot the
guard at about 1:45 p.m said
Randy Nehrt, a spokesman
for the Secretary of State's
Office, which has law enforce-
ment jurisdiction over the
building. The shooting occurred
just inside the building's
entrance.
"It just sounded like a
bomb went off. Then someone
immediately yelled, 'Someone's
been shot said Leslie Root,
who works for a state senator
on the first floor near the
location of the shooting.
Outside, police cars and
ambulances surrounded the
building, and officers roped off
the entrance. After the lock-
down was lifted, armed officers
were in the halls and everyone
entering the building was
required to sign in, rather than
the usual procedure of simply
showing a badge.
The suspect was described
as white and about 20 years old.
Police said they were searching
for a silver or gray two-door cay.
At least three or four people saw
the shooter, and officials were
reviewing footage from surveil-
lance cameras, Schmidt said.

Get hot fashions for less cash this fall
How to get great
clothing at discount
ASHLEY WHEOBEE
STAFF WRITER
You're in college, you don't
have a job and your parents aren't
exactly eager to send you money.
How are you supposed to shop?
It may not be easy to shop
on the average college student's
budget but it's not impossible
You simply have to know what
to look for and where to find
it. It's all about searching for
deals and buying what is reason-
able.
There are many places around
Greenville where you can find
brand name clothing at discount
prices. Catalog Connection, Ross,
TJ Maxx and Rugged Warehouse
all sale brand names like J. Crew,
Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Ameri-
can Eagle and Abercrombie St
Fitch. You don't have to pay
outrageous prices of $50 for a
pair of American Eagle Jeans or
$38 for an Express tank top when
you shop at these places.
"If you have the time and
patience to look around, then
places like these are good because
they have very similar items
compared to the name brands
said junior marketing major Ruth
Lamb.
"I was just talking to my
roommate about making a night
out of shopping at these kinds of
places. You really have to search
but it's worth it said senior
recreational therapy major Erica
Hanes.
The very popular knit pon-
chos are a great buy right now.
You don't
have to
go to the
expensive
stores and
spend $40.
They can
easily be
found in
some of
the afore-
mentioned
stores for
around
$20.
It's also
smart to
catch sales
and always
keep your eyes open for good
clearance items. If you know a
store often holds great sales or
you're simply hoping to find
one, don't be afraid to ask the
salesperson when the next one
will come along. It's not only
their job to keep you informed of
these things but they should be
more than willing to reveal this
information because it's likely to
improve their business.
The stores already mentioned
are great places to find rea-
sonably priced clothing, shoes
and accessories. However, they
are not the only places. You
should always check your favor-
ite stores for
great deals.
F o r
example,
some popular
stores such
as American
Eagle, Express
or Pac Sun,
often hold
sales where
they mark
down prices
to include
two shirts
for $20 or
$15 off jeans.
They use
these sales as
a way to clear out certain styles
in order to bring in new seasonal
designs. End-of-season sales are
a great time to find stylish items
for discount prices.
There are some items that
aren't a bad idea to pay full
price for. If you find a brand or
style of jeans that you absolutely
love and that fits well, then
you shouldn't be afraid to buy
them. Other items, such as shoes
or belts, shouldn't cost too much.
You can find imitations
of brands, such as Steve Madden, in
places like Wal-Mart, Target or
Payless.
Also, don't rule out
thrift stores or places that
carry donated items. These are
not only great sources of cheap
clothing, but you can also
donate to these places in return.
"I love thrift stores. I
think they're great for the com-
munity and for college kids
who don't have lots of money
said senior communication major
Melissa Alderman.
One last hint is to be
creative. You can make fun
fashion statements on your
own without spending tons of
money. Try layers, iron-ons, bright
colors or old fashion jewelry.
As for the guys, if it seems
like some of this doesn't apply,
it's probably because much of
it doesn't. Guys just seem to
have it easier than girls. Grab a
t-shirt and some hot sneakers and
you're good to go!

Hen's fall fashion preuieui
Sweaters, cargos
making a splash
JOHN BREAM
SENIOR WRITER
As we all know, fashion is
not one of the top priorities
in a man's life. Most men do
well just to get up and dress
themselves each day - blue jeans
and khakis match everything,
right?
However, the time has come
when men have to be selective
about what they wear because
females use clothing to make a
lot of initial judgments. Thanks
to outfitters such as Aeropostale,
Old Navy and American Eagle,
being trendy is not only easy - it's
also affordable.
One of the great things about
male fashions is that they allow
men to express themselves and
reveal a great deal before a person
gets to know them. While the
attractiveness of a guy isn't nec-
essarily determined by what he
wears, it certainly enhances or
detracts from his appearance.
What is stylish for a man is
often determined by his attitude
and personality, whereas women
are more strictly confined to the
looks portrayed in movies and
magazines.
Aeropostale, Old Navy and
American Eagle have made fashion
affordable on the college budget.
Aeropostale and American Eagle
are very convenient with loca-
tions in Colonial Mall. However,
Old Navy only has locations in
Rocky Mount and Jacksonville,
which are both about an hour
away. These stores cater toward
a casual look, leaving the more
sophisticated, dressy clothes to
Abercrombie & Fitch and Express
for Men, both with their closest
locations in Raleigh.
"This year, it looks like our
biggest mover is going to be our
men's sweaters. Aero has sales
every week, so the prices on
them will vary on a week-to-week
basis said Stephanie Hardison,
assistant manager of Aeropostale
in Colonial Mall.
If sweaters aren't for you,
The Gap has a great line of
Oxford shirts. Unless you're
venturing out for a formal inter-
view, roll up the sleeves to achieve
a classy, fashionable look. Rarely
on sale, these shirts cost $42.50.
For more casual wear, it is easy to
find long-sleeved t-shirts at Old Navy
and Aeropostale for regular prices
of $10 or less. At American Eagle,
long-sleeved t-shirts are $15.50, but
can often be found priced at two
for $24.
As far as pants are concerned,
cargo pants are generally consid-
ered more fashionable than jeans;
however, either can be pulled off
with a little effort.
"What I wear just really
depends on how I feel said
junior jazz studies major Mat-
thew Roehrich.
"If I'm just bumming, I'll
wear blue jeans, but if I feel
like looking nice, I'll wear
khakis
Each of the major clothing
brands market their own
line of jeans and cargos
for a price of $30 to $40
per pair. The main differ-
ence in these companies
is how their pants fit
and feel. Therefore, being
fashionable with pants is
more a matter of choosing
comfort over style. However,
if you're really looking to
make an impression, most
females agree that khakis
are the way to go.
"Khakis are sexy said soph-
omore education major Emily
Cayton.
"It takes a certain kind of
guy to be able to pull off blue
jeans, but all guys look great in
khakis
Of course, no ensemble is com-
plete without the right shoes.
"The types of shoes that
are popular are dependent on
what group you're in said
Amanda Vincent, team member at
Hibbett Sports in Colonial Mall.
"If you're gangster, all black
or all white Air Force Ones and
the Jordan's are popular shoes.
Modern boys are going to get a
New Balance 574 or 580
It's important to remember
that clothes don't make a man.
Style is all about what you feel
comfortable with and look best
in - whether it be preppy, casual
or urban. Use your clothing to
celebrate your individuality. Imi-
tation and conformity are always
out-of-style.

Old fashions become
new trends for women
DANIELLE WIGGINS
STAFF WRITER
If you haven't noticed the
slight change in the weather, this
is your announcement. It's time
to update your personal wardrobe.
Fall is back and classier than
ever but there is still hope if
you like to bare a little here and
there. Mini skirts dominated
the summer and now the fall.
The new trends this fall are blaz-
ers, rain boots, vintage jewelry
and styles inspired by the 1920s
to the 1990s. Your best option is
to mix and match things from
different eras.
"What is in this fall are lots
of layers, from tanks, tees and
sweaters said recreational ther-
apy major and Aeropostale
employee Claire Wilson.
Dress a cute logo tee
or summer top with a
nice jean jacket. No one says
you have to get rid of all your
summer clothing.
Classic vintage is also taking
over the season and teal is
easing its way back into the
fall. You can also expect to
see purses and jackets made of
tweed, argyle and corduroy tex-
tured material. Mini cardigans,
oversized sweaters, ponchos and
classy blazers are sure to keep
you warm through the weather
transition.
Whether you want
to go classic with a knit-
ted sweater, wild with
zippers and animal print,
bohemian with a floral top
or girly with a pearl necklace
and pretty bows, just know that
anything goes. Mix and match
until it fits your desired style.
No one completely fits into one
category.
Blazers are one of the biggest
trends. Go casual with
one in faded denim
or try a lightweight
blazer for a party.
Sophisticated types
may want to wear
a pale, pinstriped
blazer. Stick to
fitted and cropped
blazers that show off your
figure and pair with cropped
jeans and a cute pair of pumps.
Blazers usually range from $30
to $50 at local American Eagle,
Delia's and Gap stores.
Those fashion mishaps you
probably keep in your closet for
"safe keeping" are recyclable
now. Go through your mom's
closet. You are bound to find
styles she kept from her era.
Dress up an old blazer or denim
jacket with a rhinestone flower
brooch. Spice up those pumps
with brightly colored leg warm-
ers or let out your wild side
with some leopard skin. Just
don't get too
carried away.
Shoes are
all about
detail -
pointed
with
very
small 4
heels.
How-
ever,
when walking to class,
save your back some
trouble by wearing shorter, more
comfortable heels. Boots, espe-
cially rain boots, are a must and
always have pumps to wear with
those tiered mini skirts from
the 1980s.
Also, be sure to accessorize.
Accessories are big and dangling
earrings, flower hair clips and
layered belts.
There are plenty of ways to
avoid maxlng out those pre-
cious credit cards. Hot deals
are everywhere. Be a smart
shopper and don't get too
carried away with seasonal
clothes because winter will
hit Greenville before
you know it.
Window
shopping also
comes in handy
sometimes because it
gives you the chance
to compare prices at all
W clothing stores.
"I usually look around
for the best deals and
best quality before
buying Wilson said.
"Top fall essentials to me
would be cute jeans, a good pair
of boots, a comfy sweater and,
of course, matching earrings
said ECU student Shaina Nixon.
Don't be afraid to add your
own magical touch. No one
will ever perfectly achieve the
look of models directly from
magazines. Choose your style
wisely and know what brings
out your best features.

Tennessee. With 55 seconds left in the game,
Rorida receiver Dallas Baker got into an alter-
cation with a Tennessee defensive back. The
Volunteer player smacked Baker on the face
mask and Baker retaliated with a shot of his
own.
The back judge, who is watching the entire
thing happen, flags only Baker, costing Florida
a crucial 15 yards for an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty. The penalty forced Florida to
make a longer punt, which gave the Volunteers
better field position for the drive that would
eventually win the game on a 50-yard field goal
with six seconds left
Why on earth was Baker the only player
flagged? The referee saw both punches, from
the beginning of the incident, and yet only
penalized the retaliation.
We can understand if an official doesn't see the
first punch but does see the second and flags
the player who retaliated. But in this case, the
official saw it from the beginning and yet still
only penalized one player.
Is it not ludicrous that he made this call? Espe-
cially when it's the fourth quarter and he knows
that if Florida is penalized, they have a longer
kick to make - therefore giving Tennessee
better field position. Both players hit each other.
Either you flag both of them and the penalties
offset or you flag neither of them and break up
the scuffle.
But no, for some reason, an official decides
to send a message that he won't tolerate this
type of nonsense with less than a minute left
in the game.
Not only did he blow that call, the entire crew
made an error on when to start the clock on the
ensuing down. Because the play on which the
penalty was assessed was a run that stayed
inbounds, the clock should have started with
the referee's wind-up on as soon as the ball
was set. Instead, the crew started time when
the ball was snapped. So instead of 25 seconds
ticking off the clock, leaving the Volunteers with
a mere 30 seconds left, Tennessee started
with 43 seconds. They won the game with six
seconds left.
Good job guys, you ruined one of the best col-
lege games we watched this past weekend.

Getting older, gaining responsibility
Growing used to
living life on my own
RACHEL LANDEN
STAFF WRITER
When we're younger, growing
up seems so glamorous. 1 remember
my older sister once said that when
she turned 16, she was going to get a
perm and a boyfriend. She did get
both, but I don't recommend the
perm.
Before she was even allowed to
venture out of our yard by herself, she
was looking forward to getting older
and having new freedoms and experi-
ences. I was slightly less adventurous,
but even so, I too anticipated the days
when 1 would have more control over
my own life. 1 wanted to make my own
decisions, even if it meant making my
own mistakes.
At least that's what 1 used to think.
Now, I'm not so sure that making my
own choices is all that it's cracked up to
be. Choosing your own fate also means
accepting responsibility that at one
time didn't fall on you. If everything
turns out alright, you've earned the
credit. But if disaster ensues, you're to
blame.
I'm willing to shoulder the extra
responsibility, a sign that maybe I've
matured beyond my earlier years. How-
ever, about those decisions
Sometimes I wish the answers
were all laid out in front of me, just
like my dinner plate at home. If mom
decided that we were having chicken
for dinner, we were having chicken,
and there was no point in even con-
sidering otherwise. Even if I didn't
want chicken, at least I didn't have to
worry with dinner planning or prepara-
tion. This miy be a stretch, but that is
how I feel about a lot of issues in life
now.
I know I'm in college and techni-
cally an adult, but being in charge of
many things in my own life scares me.
When a problem arises, I have to fix it.
I can call mom and dad and they can
offer their support and encouragement,
but I have to do the grunge work.
For example, this weekend, I dis-
covered a flat tire on my car. 1 called
my parents, knowing they were too
far away to provide much assistance.
My dad couldn't drive several hours
to change my tire, but I wanted him
to tell me where to go and what to do.
Unfortunately, I had to figure much of
that out for myself.
Although now resolved, the inci-
dent seemed in keeping with the week.
I called my parents earlier for their
advice and opinions on something that
was bothering me, but 1 got what I con-
sidered to be a real cop out. Follow your
heart, they told me. You're the only one
who can make that decision.
Why, I thought? Why, when I am
begging for advice, does the decision
making fall completely on me? When
I didn't want advice, suggestions or
so-called constructive criticism, they
were overly eager to provide it. Now
I ask for help and I am told that it is
totally up to me; all they can provide
is moral support.
Is this a natural symptom of get-
ting older? If so, I'm not so sure about
this. I don't want to be stuck in my
backyard forever, wearing the clothes
that my mom selected from my closet.
But I'm also nervous about venturing
out into the world on my own, solving
my own problems and making my own
decisions.
They say all's well that ends well.
And for this week, I guess that is true.
I made some choices and I overcame
some obstacles and I think it all turned
out just fine. So maybe that's a sign that
I'm not just getting older, I'm growing
up too.
Online Reader Responses
Reader response to Sept. 14
article, "Registering to vote is
Important, but simple task"
I have just finished an article in
the New York Times concerning the
importance of the youth vote (18 to 25)
in the coming election. If they actually
vote, this age group will decide the
election - particularly those voting in
battleground states. North Carolina
is one of those battleground states
(the presence of John Edwards may
very well produce sufficient votes to
change North Carolina's tendency to
vote Republican in national elections).
The large number of young voters on
college campuses will likely be the
deciding factor. For those students who
are registered in another, non-battle-
ground state, this is the opportunity to
make their vote count. If they register
before the looming deadline for North
Carolina, they can use their school
address (on- or off-campus) to claim
residency in North Carolina and decide
the election. That is, if they decide to
vote.

Response to Sept. 16 article
titled, "Ways to stop smoking"
I like to see articles that encourage
people to stop smoking. As a former
smoker, I know it is not easy to quit,
but I also know it can be done. I tried
three times to stop smoking before I was
successful, but I finally did it. I smoked
two packs a day for 23 years and now
I have been smoke free (not even one
little drag) for seven years.
The key is desire and will power.
You must have a true, strong desire
to stop smoking and you must be
willing to keep trying even if you back
slide. When I successfully stopped
smoking, I used a combination of
methods, including Nicorette gum,
regular chewing gum, self-hypnosis
using a tape that I made after read-
ing a book on the subject, prayer and
exercise. All of these methods com-
bined helped me to stop. It is one of
the accomplishments that 1 am most
proud of.
� Beverly Taylor
Responses to Sept. 16 article
titled, "Sharon government in
Jeopardy"
The Sharon government is divided
on this withdrawal plan, but surveys
of the Israeli public have repeatedly
shown strong support for a (if not the)
withdrawal plan. The government in
jeopardy is the national government
of Israel - can it function or are the
settlers in the territories a second state,
as Haaretz has worried, which will chal-
lenge and perhaps overtake the first
state? And I find it hard to believe that
Sharon is afraid of assassination. He is
a warrior, a risk-taker and a bull. Many
think he wants to pull out of Gaza In
order to incorporate vast chunks of the
West Bank. But I think you misunder-
stand him if you see him tucking his
tail between his legs because he's afraid
of assassination.
Plus - facts, please. Unless you
reject the notion of a Jewish state in
Palestine, the ArabPalestinian people
were not occupied in 1948. The country
was partitioned by UN mandate and a
state given to Palestinians and Jews.
Then the war started and after war was
over, the shape of the current Israel was
formed. Agreed that after 1967, Pales-
tinian lands were occupied.
� Jason Mundstuk
Domination of others as a means
of self-preservation is so unjust as to
deserve its reward - which is unrelent-
ing resistance. These attitudes can
only persist within a religious context.
Doesn't that suggest the religion is an
unwanted parasite on those who would
rather live in peace?
� Jonathon Quiere
Sharon's history of violent Zionism
does not match his current plan to
withdrawal Israelis from Gaza. Obvi-
ously he is up to something
� Robert
Many people do not know what is
going on between the Palestinians and
Israelis. I have seen first-hand what
goes on. Imagine sitting in a taxicab
for almost three hours while soldiers
search each car. I had a chance to visit
this summer and I think the check-
points are injustice. This should not be
happening. One taxi cab driver told me
if we get rid of both Sharon and Arafat
maybe we would have some kind of
peace. As a Palestinian American, I
really believe the only way there will
ever be peace between Palestinians
and Israelis is if Sharon and Arafat are
out. Until people actually see first hand
what goes on over there they should not
really judge.

Letter to
the Editor
Dear Editor,
As I attended the Wake Fores1
vs. ECU football game I w
amazed at the number of E(j
students that attended the gaJ
wearing shirts and baseball ci
with other schools' logos
them. As a proud graduate of EC
and member of the Pirate ClulJ,
do not understand why a studer
would wear another school's 1c
to a sporting event that his or 1
university is participating in. h
one thing to wear the other logL
during the week on campus, hu
during a Pirate athletic ever
there should only be purple af
gold In the student section. If yL
want to wear other schools' logd
to an athletic event, attend tf
school's athletic events. You ,
in Pirate Country and the offic
colors are purple and gold.

Life inching back to normal year after Isabel
HATTERAS, NC (AP) �
Earlier this month, there was
a celebration in Hatteras Vil-
lage to commemorate the first
anniversary of Hurricane Isabel,
the most damaging storm this
place has seen in a generation.
For most, it was be a
celebration of survival. No one
died here.
"We're glad it's still here said
one local resident of her island.
"But, my God, it's scarred forever
"It's the price of paradise
said another.
It's a price these people have
paid over and over.
At the Outer Banks Motel

Isabel delivered a stiff blow
and left her mark, but life goes on.
A year ago, John and Judy
Hardison, both in their 50s,
clung for their lives to a small tree
outside their home in the village.
Isabel's waters raced by,
at times neck-high, as the
Hardisons' house shifted off
its foundation and pieces of
oceanfront hotels swept
past. The couple stayed
in the tree for 3 12 hours.
"We were saying our
goodbyesJudy Hardison said. "As
much as we could it was so loud
Today, the site of their old
home is nothing but a gravel lot.
The house has been demolished,
and the lot is for sale.
The tree that saved their lives
is gone, too.
"They took our tree! I'm so
mad Judy Hardison said. "I told
them to keep it, but apparently
the guy doing the bulldozing
didn't get the message
For now, the Hardisons
are renting a place near their
daughter in Frisco, miles north
of their old house. Soon, they will
build their new home on higher
ground, farther north, in Buxton.
"We're moving to the moun-
tains Judy Hardison said.
Hardison also has a new job,
at Midgett Realty. Her old one
was managing Durants Station,
a motel that Isabel leveled.
The Hardisons' story of
survival was featured on a
Weather Channel show called
"Storm Stories Hardison refuses
to watch a tape of the show.
"It's taken me a long time to
get back to where I was, to get my
head straight again she said. "I
had the most horrible dreams,
the most god-awful nightmares
of my life
Her doctor prescribed
sleeping pills, which she still
takes to forget Isabel.
Wendy Sisler, on the other
hand, has a daily reminder.
Last September, Sisler lost
her store, Family Jewels, and the
house she grew up in. A month
after Isabel, she was sinking into
depression when hope floated
ashore.
In Rodanthe, 35 miles
north of Sisler's home in the
village, a Bible washed up on the
soundside beach. It was the Bible
that Sisler received from the
Hatteras United Methodist
Church when she was 12 . She's
51 now.
The Bible had her maiden
name, Wendy Mae Stowe,
embossed on the white leather
cover, and someone called to
see if it was hers. When Sisler
picked it up, she found it fully �
intact but a little soggy. A
dogwood leaf still was pressed
between the Bible's pages, as
was a note sent after a long-ago
Sunday school absence.
"We miss you the note says.
"It gives you chills. It was
kind of a spiritual moment, like,
'Is this a sign?' " Sisler said. "I

Jeffries said the center for
counseling and student develop-
ment is also available to counsel
to student victims.
"A lot of times when a person is
sexually assaulted, they feel like it's
their fault. We just want to make
them feel more comfortable with
coming to someone Jeffries said.
According to a U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice statistics Web site,
39 percent of attempted rapes
and 17 percent of sexual assaults
on females result In an Injured
victim. Jeffries said victims
should seek medical attention.
The sexual assault awareness
week is meant to teach students
preventative techniques. Some tips
include always being aware of the
surroundings, traveling in groups
and keeping an eye on drinks.
According to a wellness edu-
cation fact sheet, Rohypnol, the
date rape drug, may become invis-
ible once dissolved in a drink.
Jeffries said people should
never accept an open drink from
anyone, even from people they
know. The NCCASA said 70 per-
cent of North Carolina victims
knew their assailant.
Though sexual assault is
uncommon toward college-aged
men, awareness is still important
for the male population.
The Sexual Assault Care Cen-
ter's Web site, indicated one out
ol six boys are assaulted before
age eighteen compared to the
females' rate of one in four.
Jeffries said sexual assault
awareness week has been an
annual event at ECU since she can
remember. She began participat-
ing in the march when she was a
student, and now works with plan-
ning the events as a professional.

Third time is charm for band
Further Seems Forever
releases third album
with third singer
KRISTIN MURNANE
STAFF WRITER
Change. This is one word
that Further Seems Forever has
become too familiar with. With
the loss of two separate lead
vocalists and the addition of a
third, the Florldian emo rock-
ers try to prove skeptics wrong
with their third major release
Hide Nothing.
Formed in 1998 by guitarist
Josh Colbert and bassist Chad
Neptune and soon joined by
singer Chris Carrabba, guitarist
Nick Dominguez and percussion-
ist Steve Kleisath, they released
their first full length album, The
Moon Is Down, in 2001 on Tooth
and Nail records. The struggle
began even before the album was
released as Carrabba departed,
turning his side project, Dash-
board Confessional, into a full
time job. Jason Gleason had big
shoes to fill as Carrabba's replace-
ment, but with a rigorous touring
schedule, Gleason recreated the
songs to match his voice and soon
gained respect from loyal FSF fans.
In 2003, Further Seems For-
ever released their next album,
How to Start a Fire. With Gleason
writing the lyrics, his intensity is
shown through songs like "Pride
War which is rumored to be
a mockery of Carrabba. Most
importantly, FSF's sophomore
release sold more records than
the previous album, showing that
their fan base was still growing.
In January of 2004, Glea-
son left the band on seemingly
The band Further Seems Forever is looking to strike it big with their new lead singer.
bitter terms while the remaining
members were finishing up the
instrumentals for their following
album. This left Further Seems
Forever to again search for another
vocalist. In steps Jon Bunch.
Bunch's previous band, Sense
Field, had just broken up after
a 10 year career in the under-
ground rock scene. FSF have
played shows with Sense Field
before, so it seemed only natu-
ral for Bunch to join them for
their third release. The current
members of the band, Bunch,
Colbert, Neptune, Kleisath and
new guitarist Derick Cordova
released Hide Nothing on Aug. 24
to negativity from both fans and
critics, but it's hard to deny the
precision of this album.
Hide Nothing does exactly
as the name implies. There are
no guessing games, no hidden
meanings - it's just the honest
truth. Since being signed to
Tooth and Nail Records, a Chris-
tian rock label, the band has
repeatedly been asked if they are
Indeed a Christian band. They
have denied this claim, although
this album is the first to contain
ties to religion.
Further Seems Forever states
on their Web site that: "Everyone
in FSF is a Christian, but we don't
call ourselves a Christian band
our faith is our relationship with
God on an individual level and if
we feel led to share that we will
This is also a career for us and
we don't feel comfortable taking
money in the name of God
The album's first single,
"Light Up Ahead is the first FSF
song that shows their relation-
ship with God. It's easy to relate
in a religious sense to lyrics that
repeat, you lift me upand all
these bad dreamsI wake up to
the light wake me upthere's
a light up ahead
The title track declares exactly
who Further Seems Forever is
singing, "we live and we learn
and we crash and we burn we
can take what we knowand we
learn as we go we can see who
we are
With spotted distortion,
melodic vocals, catchy guitar
riffs and an all around appealing
sound, Further Seems Forever has
overcome the skepticism from
critics and fans to create what is
possibly their best release to date.
As the saying goes, third time's a
charm, and that just might be the
case for these five men. FSF is cur-
rently on tour across the country,

weeks after being recorded.
"Quietly releasing my music
as EP allows me to get it out there
as I finish it. With a minimum of
hype said Folds.
"It's for people who buy my
music anyway. It won't be sold in
the big a chains because that
puts the price up and starts the big
a machinery-press, radio, etc
Super D features five songs.
There are three originals "Kalam-
azoo "Adelaide "Rent a Cop"
and two covers, The Darkness "Get
Your Hand Off My Woman" and a
Ray Charles tribute "Them That
Got which is a live recording.
"Kalamazoo" is a song that
Folds wrote when he was 19 or 20.
You may have heard it already as
there are several demos floating
around, ihij version incorporates
drums, bass, piano and strings.
"Adelaide" is a wonderful
song with a great beat incor-
porating a fusion of piano and
drums. Written before hopping
on a plane to where else?
Adelaide.
"Rent a cop" is a quirky
tune making fun of a mall
security officer.
"Once I was watching a mall

The first EP in the series,
speed graphic, hit No. 1 on the
Billboard Internet Album charts,
and sunny 16 can also be found

The series will be released as
a full album in early 2005.
Folds will be on the road this
fall. He will first tour around the
states, including some college
venues and then will head to
Europe and Japan in 2005.

from Chapel Hill whose debut
album was released in 1995.
Whatever and ever amen was a

'Star Wars' trio gets long-awaited DVD release
(KRT) � In his own mind,
George Lucas identified so closely
with the rebellious young hero
of the space adventure he was
writing in the mid-1970s that he
named the character Luke, after
himself.
As he made the rounds at the
studios to pitch a sci-fi fantasy
he was calling The Star Wars,
with each new telling, his movie
sounded more and more like a
parable of his own struggle to
resist the soul-crushing heel
of Hollywood. As leader of the
freedom-loving Rebel Alliance
in Marin County, Calif Lucas
took potshots at the evil Galactic
Empire to the south.
But that was a long time ago,
in a world far, far away from
the Hollywood landscape of
today. Lucas changed everything
with Star Wars. The movie not
only became the second-highest
grossing picture of all time (now
behind only Titanic), it pushed
the corporate grandees who ran
the studios toward ever-bigger
"event" movies. Which meant
the independent filmmakers
who had thrived during the
1970s were suddenly viewed as
luxuries Hollywood could no
longer afford.
Lucas got very rich and
formed a succession of film-
making companies, such as
Lucasfilm Ltd. and Industrial
Light St Magic, which made him
even richer and more powerful.
Lucas grew so powerful he was
able to brush off the clamor for
the release of his original space
thrillogy - Star Wars, The Empire
Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi
- on DVD. Until now.
"I have become the very thing
I was trying to avoid Lucas says,
noting his own corporate fat-cat
status in an interview included in
the "Star Wars Trilogy which gets
its long-awaited release Tuesday.
Thanks to Lucas' dark side,
the DVDs can be purchased
only as a boxed set, the first of
several bummers imposed on
this otherwise happy occasion
to bump up the bottom line. But
the movies look better than they
ever did before, transferred from
the original negatives, then given
a digital scrubbing that removed
something like 100 scratches
and dust specks from each frame
-about 10 million improvements
in all.
The images are brighter and
the colors more vibrant than they
were on film, and the dazzling
sound design creates a sense of
space, not only outer but inner.
Collectively, these films represent
one of the most awe-inspiring
technical achievements in the
short history of the DVD format.
Unlike similar cleanings that
have left Renaissance master-
pieces looking denatured, this
one embraces the look that Lucas
calls "the used future in which
the objective is not spotless per-
fection but spot-on realism. The
film is clean; Han Solo's space-
ship, the Millennium Falcon,
remains gloriously grubby.
The question that some of
Lucas' improvements will raise
for ardent fans of the series is
whether he needed to fix what
wasn't broken. Each film has
undergone subtle, but significant,
revisions, beginning with the
opening frames of what was once
- and for some of us will remain
forevermore - Star Wars, and is
now clunkily titled Star Wars:
Episode IV-A New Hope.
More troubling to purists
are the scenes Lucas has digi-
tally added or enhanced, using
technology that was unavailable
to him in 1976, when the first
picture was being shot. Many of
the changes were made before the
films were re-released to theaters
in 1997 as a "special edition
although Lucas has continued
tinkering with some scenes,
sometimes even making changes
to the changes.
An example of Lucas' perfec-
tionism run amok takes place
in the first film's memorable
Wookie bar scene. In 1977, Han
Solo pulled a gun and dispatched
a bounty hunter named Greedo
who was chasing him for the
price on his head. Solo's trans-
formation from shady privateer
to hero is a crucial part of the
story, after all.
But by 1997, Lucas felt Solo
was such a beloved cultural icon
that he could no longer allow him
to shoot first, and changed the
scene so that Greedo appeared
to draw first.
The change was so illogi-
cal that Lucas has re-edited the
shootout so that it now appears
Han and Greedo draw their
guns at almost exactly the same
moment.
Even those kinds of changes,
no matter how wrongheaded,
wouldn't be as troubling if Lucas
had put the original version of
each film on the discs. But he
didn't.
He also refuses to discuss
the controversies he created by
fiddling with the films in his
slightly droning reminiscences
on the commentary tracks.
It is Carrie Fisher's wisecrack-
ing asides about being told she
could play Princess Leia if 'she
promised to lose 10 pounds at
a fat farm, and about preparing
herself to don the bikini she
had to wear in "Jedi" that recap-
tures some of the films' original
magic.
Book Review:
'Esperanza Rising'
Heartfelt tale any
age group can enjoy
JOANNA WALDHOUR
STAFF WRITER
Though this robust novel is
adolescent literature, any age
group can enjoy it. This fictitious
novel has a very eloquent and
lyrical style of writing that shows
the passion of the characters.
This book portrays a
young girl, Esperanza Ortega,
living in the 1920s - 1930s
on a ranch called Ranchos
de las Rosas in the region of
Aguascalientes, Mexico. She
has everything she wants and
she has the dream of one day
rising to her mother's position of
presiding over the ranch.
Unfortunately, after a tragic
accident occurs, Esperanza and
her mother, along with their
friends, are forced to flee to
California to work in a farm
labor camp. At the labor camp,
Esperanza is suddenly shoved
into a completely different
lifestyle than what she is used
to - the story allows for her
character to change and develop
during those events.
It leaves readers satisfied.
Gives readers a taste of the
history of Mexican immigration
to California.
Gives people an air of rising
above obstacles and triumphing
the best they can in any situation.

Hamilton under
Investigation
Olympic time-trial champion Tyler
Hamilton declared his innocence
Tuesday after his pro cycling team
said he's being investigated for
possible blood doping and could
be stripped of his gold medal. The
American cyclist said he would
"fight this until I don't have a euro
left in my pocket Tests at the
Athens Olympics on Aug. 19 and
at the Spanish Vuelta on Sept.
18 showed evidence of blood
from another person, cycling's
governing body said, according
to a spokesman for Hamilton's
team, Phonak. Follow-up tests
were scheduled for later Tuesday.
Phonak spokesman Georges
Luedinger said Hamilton denied
having a transfusion - which can
boost athletes' performance by
increasing the amount of oxygen-
transporting red blood cells in
their system. If found guilty of a
violation at the Olympics, Hamilton
would lose his gold medal. Three
athletes had gold medals revoked
for doping during the Aug. 13 - 29
games. Former world champion
Oscar Camenzind was fired
by Phonak and announced his
retirement after testing positive
for the performance-enhancing
substance EPO shortly before
the Olympics.
A record 24 athletes - none
American - from various sports
were cited for drug-test violations
at the Athens Olympics.
Idaho player shot
to death
A University of Idaho football player
was shot to death and police
arrested two brothers from Seattle
following a chase that extended
halfway across Washington
state. Eric McMillan, 19, a starting
cornerback for the Vandals on
Saturday against Washington
State, was pronounced dead of a
gunshot wound to the chest at 4
a.m. Monday at Gritman Memorial
Hospital, Moscow police Capt.
Cam Hershaw said. No motive
for the shooting was immediately
available. On Sunday night, hours
after the shooting, Matthew R.
Wells II, 27, and James J. Wells,
25, both of Seattle, were arrested
on Interstate 90 near Vantage,
about 150 miles west of Moscow.
The Wellses were booked into the
Whitman County, Wash. Jail and
were being held for investigation
of felony attempted eluding with
bail set at $75,000 each, Whitman
County Prosecutor Denis Tracy
said. The two, former football
standouts at Rainier Beach
High School in Seattle, made
an initial appearance Monday
in Superior Court and charges
will likely be filed Wednesday,
Tracy said. Officers went to
McMillan's residence following
a report of gunshots about 5:24
p.m. Sunday and found he had
been taken to the hospital in a
private vehicle, Hershaw said.
Based on a description and
license plate number given by
witnesses, Whitman County
sheriff's deputies began pursuing
a late-model white BMW with two
men inside between Pullman and
Colfax, Wash, officials said. Colfax
police joined the chase until the
fleeing car avoided a roadblock
outside Colfax, Whitman County
deputies maintained pursuit until
Othello and the Washington
State Patrol took over from there
on Washington 26. A spike strip
across the freeway near Vantage
on the Columbia River brought
the car to a stop about 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, Hershaw said. McMillan,
a business management and
human resources major, is
survived by two sisters, including
a twin, Paull said. He played
football, basketball and ran track
at Murrieta Valley High School in
California.

Terron Amos taking off for ECU
An up close look at
Pirates' offensive sniper
TRENT WYNNE
STAFF WRITER
Great careers sometimes have
unusual beginnings. Such was the
case for the greatest boxer of all
time - Muhammad Ali. Ali's bike
was stolen when he was 12 years
old, bringing the legend to tears.
He decided to report it to a police
officer, whom just so happened
to be a amateur boxing coach.
Ali told the officer that he
wanted "to whoop whoever
stole his bike The officer,
Joe Martin, replied by simply
saying, "you better learn how to
fight before you start chal-
lenging people that you are
gonna whoop
And thus, the legend of
Ali begins.
Terron Amos may not turn
out to be the greatest soccer
player of all-time and his begin-
ning may not be as unusual as
that of Ali's. However, the ECU
men's soccer program will always
be thankful of the way Amos's
career "kicked" off.
"It all started when I was about
five or six years old said Amos.
"My mom came in one day
and said 'T, you are getting to
the age where it's about time to
start doing something active and
I want you to think about what
you want to do and get back to
me As soon as she asked I told
her, 'I want to play soccer
And she looked at me with this
funny face and said, 'soccer?
Amos's mother, supportive
of his decision but unsure about
the game of soccer, went out
and got both of them a couple
books so they could read up on
the game.
"She wanted me to make sure
that this is what I wanted to do
Amos said.
"But I had already made up
my mind
Amos started out playing in
recreational leagues around the
city of New Bern, his hometown.
"At first I did not feel like I was
good enough to play Amos said.
"But my mother would always
encourage me and tell me to keep
trying and keep working at it
Amos stuck with it and con-
tinued to play throughout his
schooling. However, soccer wasn't
the only sport for him - Amos
got his feet wet in other sports
coming up through high school.
Amos started playing soccer
"I tried track, but I did not
really like just running Amos
said with a laugh.
He also went on to try basket-
ball and wrestling, but nothing
seemed to excite him as much as
the thrill he had when running
onto the soccer field.
"I just wanted to concentrate
on soccer and put all other things
aside Amos said.
"I did not want to risk an
injury in another sport that would
hinder me from playing soccer
Amos, free from injury, put
his heart and soul into soccer and
led his high school team to an
outstanding national ranking of
20 in his junior and senior season.
Apart fr"om high school,
Amos took his game to several
other leagues, one of which
was a premier ball league,
a league where Amos would soon
realize his talents were solid
at the age of six and has been running circles around any and
enough to start turning some
heads.
"It came to me when I played
in premier ball and I got a lot of
recruitment letters and my mom
kept telling me that I was good
enough to get to the next level
Amos said.
One of those letters happened
to be from ECU, the team lucky
enough to snag the star-studded
forward.
Amos arrived at ECU with
high hopes on his career but he
would soon realize that the play-
ing field was about to become a
little more level.
"The first day of preseason
my freshman year I knew it was
going to be a completely different
ball game Amos said.
"I always thought I was pretty
good and could keep up with
everyone and 1 was able to do that
but it was not with the dominat-
ing style that I was able to do it
with in high school, being able to
go by people at will. I knew that
once I got here, 1 would have to
use my teammates a lot more. It
took me about half my freshman
year to get adjusted
Amos was tried out on the
defensive side of the ball during
his freshman campaign but
would eventually return to his
natural position of forward after
proving his goal-scoring capa-
bility.
Going through some tough
years record wise, Amos hopes
that his team will be able to turn
it around this season.
"I would really like for us to
finish above .500 on the season
Amos said about something the
Pirates have not done while he's
been a part of the squad.
"And when I am done here, I
want everyone, to be able to say,
all competition ever since.
'man he really helped that team
get to where they went
Aside from Pirate soccer,
Amos enjoys watching the game
on television as well.
"I have two favorite teams, Arse-
nal and Real Madrid Amos said.
Arsenal forward Thierry
Henry is a player Amos tries to
model his game after.
"I love the way he plays and
if I could be like any one player,
I would want to be like him
because of his playing style, his
confidence and his ability to just
go at players
Sounds eerily similar to a
description one might use to
describe the Pirate's senior go to
guy and what he's been able to
do since he began his endeavor
in 2001.

Pirates pummel Cherry
Point at home, 20-5
MATTHEW FOSTER
STAFF WRITER
The ECU men's rugby team
won their second game in a row
after last week's game against
UNC was cancelled, beating
Cherry Point 20-5 on Saturday.
The weather was perfect for
rugby as ECU dominated from
the scrum in the early part
of the game, but had to wait
for some time before taking
full control. Mark Borcherding
notched the first points of the
game, scoring a nice penalty from
about 30 yards out to give ECU a
3-0 advantage.
The ECU defense held strong
as Cherry Point piled on the pres-
sure, but missed a penalty. That
was the inspiration ECU needed
as they drove forward in num-
bers.
Nice combination play from
Rob Hileman and Dave Zeckman
led to the trie for the free man as
Thomas Francisco scored on his
first ever trie. Borcherding missed
the conversion, giving ECU a,n
8-0 lead.
Later in the game, Michael
Brian dived for his line to claim
a trie and push the lead to 13-0.
The pressure continued as ECU
missed another penalty. Gary
Saunders added one more trie
and Borcherding made the con-

Michigan's Avant puts team first
(KRT) � Saturday night choir
practice, even after Michigan
football games, is one of them.
Media attention is not. And
catching passes isn't nearly the
priority that winning is.
"It's a team game said Avant
after Saturday's 24-21 victory
against San Diego State.
"I come from a high school
where I caught all the passes.
That's the reason I came to
Michigan - to win. I don't care
how many balls I catch as long
as we win.
"I could have gone
somewhere else and caught all
the passes, but I just want to win
for this team. I don't care how
many passes I catch
Avant caught 47 passes for
772 yards last season and was
voted second team All-Big Ten in
his first year as a starter. He was
an All-Academic choice for the
second straight year.
Michigan has perhaps the
best set of receivers in college
football with Braylon Edwards,
the school's career receiving
leader, joined by Avant and
speedster Steve Breaston.
Avant has only caught five passes
for 57 yards in three games this
season, but his blocking and other
contributions have been big.
"He's a great competitor and
he's unselfish said Michigan
coach Lloyd Carr.
"He's as tough as anybody
I've coached. He plays around the
football and is a great blocker.
"When he came here for
summer camp in high school,
every time I watched him
he was flying around, diving for
balls. He doesn't run a 4.3 (40-
yard dash), but I said to myself,
I want that guy on my team I'm
glad he liked Michigan too
The Wolverines, 2-1
after a Week 2 loss to Notre
Dame, play host to Iowa (2-
1) on Saturday in the Big Ten
opener for both teams. Avant
understands the magnitude of the
Iowa game, but he believes the loss
to Notre Dame might have been
Michigan's most important game,
"It hurt, but it made us
realize we're not as great a team
as we think we are said Avant.

"We're going to have to
work for things or we're going
to taste defeat. There's a lot
of season left. In college football
now, anything can happen.
If we're going to lose, it was just
as well to do it early
To say Avant is an unusual
person would be putting
it mildly. The junior wide
receiver has never conformed
to stereotypes. Raised by
his grandmother, Lily Avant, and
his aunt, Shirley Avant, he's
the product of a school that
was a Public League power
in basketball. He sings
tenor in the choir at the True
Worship Church in Detroit,
and is hoping to gain admission
to Michigan's School of Social
Work, a higher priority than an
NFL career.
This summer, Avant
was one of four Michigan
athletes chosen for the NCAA
Leadership Conference.
"They were all impressed
with Jason as a guy who
was really grounded Carr said.
Willie Simpson, his
football and basketball coach
at Carver, persuaded Avant
to go out for football. Like many
Public League athletes, he saw
himself as a basketball player
first. As a junior he averaged
16 points per game for the
Challengers, but he'd caught
54 passes for 890 yards and
15 touchdowns that fall He was
a football player whether he knew
it or not.
PAT not so automatic this year
(KRT) � Extra points are
usually an afterthought in col-
lege football because kickers are
normally automatic. But several
extra point attempts have been
hooked, sliced or blocked this
season, altering a team's national
championship destiny.
The point after is now almost
as treacherous as third-and-long.
"I don't know if they've got
the yips or what's the deal Boise
State coach Dan Hawkins said.
Division I-A kickers con-
nected on 95.3 percent of their
extra point attempts last season,
the best performance since 1990.
By comparison, NFL kickers con-
verted 98.4 percent in 2003.
Overall this season, college
kickers are hitting 94.9 percent
of their extra point attempts,
according to NCAA statistics. If
that figure were to hold up all
year, it would be the second-high-
est total since 90.
Fifty-three out of 1,043
attempts have been missed this
season in Division 1-A. Several
were huge.
Oregon State's Alexis Serna
missed three in the season opener
against LSU, allowing the Tigers
to escape with a win, 22-21, in
overtime. Tennessee missed an
extra point against FJorida on Sat-
urday, but the kicker redeemed
himself with a last-gasp field
goal that gave the Volunteers a
two-point victory. LSU missed
its own extra point last weekend
against Auburn. This time, the
Tigers came up one point short,
losing 10-9.
"When they score, I used to
flip (the channel) Texas coach
Mack Brown said. "Now, I'm
going to stay and watch
Most, if not all, coaches
preach the importance of the
kicking game. Kickers routinely
lead their team In scoring. Most
teams work on extra points for
about five minutes during their
daily two-hour workout.
Fresno State coach Pat Hill
said his team's practices consist
of nine extra point attempts
in a four-minute span. Kick-
ers and other specialists then
work by themselves. Oklaho-
ma's kickers, for example, work
by themselves inside Okla-
homa Memorial Stadium while
the rest of the team practices
on the adjacent grass fields.
Still, several coaches, includ-
ing Brown, said they do not
offer scholarships to high school
kickers. Coaches encourage
kickers to walk on, and then
the player could earn a schol-
arship with his performance.
"We're sure not shy about
using a scholarship if we find the
right one Iowa State coach Dan
McCarney said. The Cyclones,
however, have found most of their
kickers through the walk-on pro-
cess during McCarney's tenure.
Texas kicker Dusty Mangum
of Mesquite was not given a
scholarship until this season, his
senior year. Mangum Is 166-for-
168 on extra points during his
career and has hit 67.7 percent
of his field goals.
Baylor senior Kenny Webb
and Oklahoma junior Trey
DiCarlo of Carrollton also earned
scholarships after walking on.
Sophomore Keith Toogood of
Dallas Christian walked on at
Texas Tech, as did fellow Red Raid-
ers redshirt freshman Alex Trllca.
Other coaches actively recruit
and sign kickers out of high school.
Texas A&M's Todd Pegram
and Oklahoma State's Jason Ricks
earned scholarships as freshmen.
Pegram, a junior, has hit 69.6
percent of his field goals and
missed only four extra points
(73-for-77) during his college
career. Ricks, a freshman, is
16-for-16 on extra points and
has made all three field goal
attempts.
"If you're going to be a good
football team, you have to be
sound in all phases OSU coach
Les Miles said. "The opportunity
to score points with a field goal or
extra point is imperative
A kicker's mechanics and
ability are just as important as
the snapper and holder doing
their jobs.
"Our special teams coach said
that if you think about it, when
you kick an extra point or a field
goal, three people touch the ball
in 1.2 seconds Fresno State
coach Pat Hill said. "Everything's
got to go just right
But kickers work on more
than their mechanics. Former
Texas Tech kicker Robert Treece
worked with a sports psychologist
to better cope with kicking's ups
and downs - or lefts and rights,
as it were.
Former Cowboys kicker Chris
Boniol, now a private coach living
in Flower Mound, said he also
worked with a sports psychologist
during his pro career. Boniol said
kickers have a tendency to relax
on extra points because they are
relatively easy 19- or 20-yard field
goals. Or they might rush the
kick because of adrenaline.
"When you're intensity
drops, there's a slippage in your
performance Boniol said.
Some Division I-A kickers
haven't had such problems.
Mississippi's Jonathan Nichols,
last year's Lou Groza Award
winner, is 140-for-142 on
extra points. Boise State's Tyler
Jones is 105-for-107.
Kicking extra points must
be mental, West Virginia coach
Rich Rodriguez figures. The
Mountaineers' kicker, Brad
Cooper, is 61-for-63 during his
career.
"1 think it's something from
the neck up with the little guy
that's kicking it Rodriguez
said.

Cherry Point made a late
