City of Greenville sues several local landlords
City alleges violation
of three-resident home
code
ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER:
Students living in a house
with more than two other non-
related roommates may want to
take heed.
The city of Greenville recently
filed five lawsuits against local
landlords who own properties
leased to tenants. City attorney
Dave Holec said that the owners
had been notified of the violations
and had not responded to several
citations. Four of the five suits
involve Tim Ferruzzi, Ann Nunez,
David Renn and Rebecca Renn,
though the names vary in order
on the ownersT deeds.
A fifth lawsuit has been filed
against Vance Harper Jones.
Merrill Flood, head of the
community development depart-
ment, said that there is a differ-
ence between these residences and
large apartment complexes such
as North Campus Crossing that
allow more than three non-related
roommates.
He said that the homes in
question are in regular residential
neighborhoods while the large
apartment complexes meet land
use intensive dormitory stan-
dards.
oThe developers of theses
places have to get special permits,?
Flood said.
During his 10 years as city
attorney, Holec did not recall a
time when citations did not prompt
the property owners to fix the
problems and keep the violations
from turning into a lawsuit.
oSeveral citations were issued
over several months,? Holec said.
Fayetteville attorney Neil
Yarborough has been hired by
Ferruzzi.
More than three unrelated roommates live in a residentially
ec. 58 :
He said that the city is choos-
ing to sue his client rather than
come after the students respon-
sible and that the suit is a viola-
tion of FerruzziTs first amendment
rights.

Dead Week survey seeks
more students opinions
SGA pushes for less
stressful week before
finals
ALYCIA WENDT
STAFF WRITER
TheStudent Government Asso-
ciation is promoting the idea of a
dead week to the ECU community.
If Dead Week is passed, it
will offer students a free week
before finals without any
tests, quizzes or major assign-
ments during the last week of
instruction for each semester.
For undergraduates only, the
week will not entail any major
examinations in classes, excluding
skills, laboratory or clinical finals.
Term papers due during Dead
Week would need to be assignedT
T in writing to students at the
beginning of the semester. By
midpoint in the semester, students
would need to have received com-
' plete written instructions for all
term papers.
oYou canTt take back failing
a class or an exam, so we should
have time to prepare ourselves
and focus on our academics,? said
SGA president M. Cole Jones.

ECU played host to the Chan-
cellorTs Forum on Service March
8 in Hendrix Theatre. There, the
panel addressed the universityTs
motto: oServire,? Latin for oto
Dead Week would still fall
under the 15 weeks of instruc-
tion, and all classes would meet
as scheduled.
Classes during Dead Week are
intended for teachers to have strict
student-teacher interaction time.
Dead Week has been a work
in progress for years. SGA
has done extensive research
on students during exam time
and how other colleges pre-
pare for their final exams.
Once the decision is final, it
will take three years until the
final change occurs. Any change
made to the academic calendar
takes three years to take place.
North Carolina State Univer-
sity currently has a Dead Week and
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill is looking into one.
oI think a Dead Week would
help us study more and relax too.
I hate finals because I just cram,?
said sophomore communications
major, Austin Briggman III.
Last year, an online survey
was posted for studentTs opin-
ion on Dead Week. This survey
did not get enough responses
or strong enough votes to
proceed further with it.

centennial theme of service.
James B. Hunt Jr., ECTC alumni
and former governor of North
Carolina challenged ECU to help
to improve life in eastern North
Carolina"a region deserving of
service, as it trails the rest of the
state in economics, health and
education
oI hope you will have the goal
that the great disparity in eastern
North Carolina will be elimi-
to get involved with SGA for the
survey or any other project. We
really need student feedback,? said
Student Government Secretary
Keri Brockett.
This year all branches of SGA
were asked to participate in the
survey. The survey was also more
comprehensive than last year. It
consists of seven questions that
relate to a studentTs personal
opinion on Dead Week.
Once the results of the survey
are finished, SGA will propose
the survey to the senate and the
calendar committee with the
results.
oWhether you believe in Dead
Week or not, take the survey and
express your beliefs on it,? said
SGA Director of Academic Affairs
C. James Wagner.
If SGA does not get enough
feedback on these surveys, there
will not be accurate results.
oWe want to make the efforts
to do what students want,? said
Brockett.

leadership of this university,? said
Hunt. oI believe this university
should do it and is more capable
of doing it more than any other
university.?
oYou've got a great history.

you to do a lot,? said Hunt.

Fire in storm drain
creates need for detour

The Greenville Fire Department extinguishes the remains of a small fire.
Steam line, drain area
undamaged despite
smoke
STAFF REPORT
At approximately 6 p.m.
Monday evening, a fire in the
storm drain near West End caused
students en route to the dining
hall or other destinations on Fac-
ulty Way to have to take a slight
detour.
According to ECU police Divi-
sion Commander Major Frank
Knight, leaves which had been
blown into the steam line by
Faculty Way and Dowell Way
caught fire.
The cause for the fire is
cussed ECUTs history of service.
One of the four questions of the
event led panelists to ruminate on
what motivates people to serve.
oTo serve is_a verb. ItTs
love in action,? said ECU
alumna Ruth Shaw, senior
executive at Duke Energy.
According to Shaw, since the Gen-
eral Assembly first created ECU
in 1907, improving life in east-
ern North Carolina has always
been one of ECUTs missions.
oThe desire and appreciation
for selfless giving, I believe, has
to be taught, and it has to be
learned,? said chief external affairs
officer for University Health Sys-
tems of Eastern Carolina and
ECU trustee member Joel Butler.
Forum moderator, Janice
Faulkner, ECU graduate and
former North Carolina Secretary
of State, asked the panel how
ECU could continue to promote
service in its second century.
Hunt suggested student service
requirements for graduation.
oThe university needs to be
committed to this community,?
said Hunt. He proposed to Chan-
cellor Ballard in the audience
' that perhaps students ocanTt
graduate unless they have hours
volunteering? or omaybe giving
unknown.
oIt could be a cigarette fell
down into the area or some other
item [did],? said Major Knight.
According to Major Knight,
there was no damage to the steam
line or any damage inside the
storm drain area.
oThe fire department... extin-
guished the smoldering remains of
what was a small leaf fire,? he said.
Although ECU police did set
up a perimeter around the storm
drain, and redirected traffic so
emergency vehicles could easily
access the area, West End and
other surrounding areas did not
close down for any period of time.

on Service
college credit? for serving the
community.
oWe're trying to prepare and
develop a society of giving and
useful people,? Hunt said.
oWe're in a time of increasing
isolation, fragmentation and indi-
vidualism... than in the found-
ing of the university in 1907,?
said Shaw. oThe whole option of
requiring service is oxymoronic,
but what ITve come to realize is
that it is still service.?
oYou canTt always pay it back,
but you can pay it forward,? said
prominent Greenville attorney
Phillip Dixon, who was a past
member of the University of
North Carolina Board of Gover-
nors and former chairman of the
ECU Board of Trustees.
Concluding the forum, Chan-
cellor Ballard announced the
formation of the Service Society,
an organization to encourage
ECU students, faculty and staff
to volunteer and give back to the
community. Beginning March
2008, the group will recognize
students and employees who do
100 hours or more of volunteer
work in a calendar year.

Hockey in
the Carolinas.
Like it or not, itTs here to stay
JONATHAN GARDNER
OPINION WRITER
Ten years ago, Peter Karmanos moved a strug-
gling hockey team from Hartford, Conn. to North
Carolina. The move was a joke in the hockey
world.
Hockey would never work in NASCAR country.
And for a while, the critics were spot on. While con-
struction was being done on the Entertainment and
Sports Arena (now the RBC Center), the Carolina ©
Hurricanes played at the Greensboro Coliseum. Of
the 21,000 seats at the coliseum, attendance hovered
around less than 10,000. Sports Illustratedran a story
titled, oNatural Disaster,? mocking the attendance 8
of the Hurricanes.
This all changed in the 2000 " 2001 season. The
Hurricanes grabbed the last playoff spot, leading
them to face off the defending Stanley Cup champi- ~
ons, the New Jersey Devils. Though the Hurricanes
lost to the Devils, the sellout crowd provided a stand-
ing ovation for the players, showing signs that the
city can support a hockey team.
Last year, in the 2005 " 2006 season, the Hur-
ricanes did the improbable and took the Stanley Cup.
During this playoffrun, decimal readings of the RBC
Center crowd showed well above the threshold of
pain, including a high of 133.4 dB.
Today, out of the 30'teams in the National Hockey
League, the Hurricanes are right in the middle,
attendance wise, holding a firm grip on 15th place.
They frequently sell out games, and have an aver-
age attendance of a little more of 17,000. And while
critics still whine, questioning why a defending
champion team canTt sell out more games, thereTs
no question that the Carolinas have warmed up to
hockey. If only the same support was shown for our
ECU hockey team.
This year, in only its second season as a club, the
earning them the top spot in the Blue Ridge Hockey
Club Tournament. Yet, when it comes to coverage, -
a Pirate loss at any other sport gets more coverage Sin the history of the world.
than a huge Pirate hockey victory.
Obviously, any Pirate sports team has its dif-
ficulties, but when one team has huge success while
others may be struggling, please give credit where
credit is due.

Wait, scratch that; Wikipedia is not a.

YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
When it comes to pop culture, sports or finding
a recipe for great chicken parmesan, the InternetTs
limitless ability to find information is a godsend.
However, when it comes to researching journals and
sources for your average English class, resources
drop exponentially.
As our level of education increases, so does the
strictness of works cited and the reliability of our
sources. Gone are the days when teachers would
accept ogoogle.com? at the conclusion of a somewhat
grammatically correct paper. But while I sometimes
long for the laid back high school projects, I can.
see where our current professors are coming from.
This follows in my agreement on their view of |
Wikipedia.
call to arms against African Elephants, the siteTs
vulnerability was ever present as users changed
articleTs information on a continuous minor scale.
But in addition to the occasional pranks that Wiki-
pedia experiences, no one who frequents the site can
exercise an unbiased, neutral stance on everything
known to man. This is proven by typing searches
for any common controversial subject. Results for
Evolution, George Bush, Islam, African elephants,
Palestine and abortion are commonly semi-locked
and restricted articles in which only senior members
may edit the information.
As you might expect, someone somewhere will
differ from your point of view and Wikipedia helps
to concentrate every debatable subject within an
effortless reach. Never has starting an argument
been easier than to click the word oedit? on a Web -
site and rewrite history, science or a current event.
Who says the United States landed on the moon
first? I am pretty sure it was Russia. JFK was never
assassinated; ITm to assume he lives a carefree life
with Elvis and Tupac in the Florida Keys. Are these ©
extreme examples? Well, sure, as Wikipedia has hun-
dreds of users at work on the site to counter malicious
. Need advice? Want answers? Just ask Jane.

ing articles. But the fact remains that anyone may
anonymously add to, subtract or alter existing pieces
of information within seconds. Imagine if the Pirate
Rants were in charge of controlling all information.
that existed on the newest version of Wikipedia. "
Would you trust it? Actually, do not answer that.
_Professors are well aware of the siteTs nameless _
authors and as such, most will not accept Wikipedia
as a valid source. What does that mean for students,
besides the notion they may have to actually do some
research?
Wikipedia has still served me well on many occa-
sions. Some forget that Wikipedia articles must also
cite their own sources, all of which are located at the
bottom of every entry (unless the article is lacking -
citations, in which case Wikipedia makes sure to
announce this). Simply taking an additional moment
of your time to follow up on these sources may lead
you to safe ground, with professors none the wiser.
With a valid and sound source for your essay or jour-
nal, Wikipedia will never cross anyoneTs mind.
Now if you will excuse me, I am off to alter
ECUTs entry. I think I can come up with a better -
school motto.

Dear Jane,
I really like this girl and we've been talking.
Things are starting to get serious and I know she
wants to take it to the sheets. ThereTs a problem
though. I did some bad things with two girls last
week and I would feel terrible elevating things to
the next level without telling her. It is very likely the
two girls could be real dirty. How should I execute
my next steps?
Signed,
Clueless
Dear Clueless,
First of all, letTs assess your actions. If you think
they're oreal dirty,? why did you mess with them in
the first place? If youTre going to be with multiple
partners in any sexual situation, you need to pro-
tect yourself. If you did, kudos. Either way, you had
better go on down to Studént Health Services and
get. tested for STIs at the very least to make sure
you donTt risk infecting anyone else and for your own
health and peace of mind.
Secondly, you cannot possibly be thinking of
exposing someone you care about to the possibility
of contracting a sexually transmitted disease... How
much did you say you liked her, anyway?
Both of you need to talk about it, because she has
a right to know, just as you have a right to know if
sheTs been doing anything similar to whatever you've
been up to. :
T The bottom line is, be careful and be courteous.
Get checked out and be safe if you're going to pass
yourself around in the future. Good luck getting
everything straightened out.
Sincerely,
Jane
The power
ot words
~ How your words shape who you are
KRYSTLE STRICKLIN
OPINION WRITER
A few weeks ago, Prince Charles made a decidedly
bold statement to a nutritionist who worked at the
center he was visiting in Abu Dhabi. He was quoted
as saying, oHave you got anywhere with McDonaldTs?
Have you tried getting it banned? ThatTs the key.?
As usual, by the next morning, the story was
all over the news and people across the world were
judging Charles for what he said. Nick Hindle, a
spokesperson from McDonaldTs, has said that, othis
appears to be an off-the-cuff remark.?
His description of CharlesT words, as being ooff-
the-cuff? is what really stuck out when I read about
what had happened.
When you look at news as not just a way to gain
knowledge about current events, but also a way to
gain knowledge about yourself, then maybe there is
something else to learn from this story.
I know this will be hard for those pragmatic, utili-
tarian thinkers out there, but humor me for.a minute.
After reading all of the reports and varying opinions
about what Prince Charles said, all I could think about
was how one manTs words had caused such a stir and
how what happened to him has probably happened
to all of us, just on a much smaller level.
How many times have we spoken words that we
regret? How many times do we say things we do not
mean? I know it happens to some more than others,
but I am sure that we all have said things that we
wish we could now take back.
. Possibly. some of you are thinking that you regret
nothing. That is certainly your prerogative and I am
not telling you differently. The point I really want to
stress here is this"our words define who we are.
I think sometimes people forget this or maybe
they do not realize just how important their words
can be. Everything we say is a reflection of who we
are and it greatly affects how others view us.
Of course, when we make off-the-cuff remarks,
it is unlikely they will be on CNN the next day, but
our co-workers, our classmates and even our friends
might hear them.
This may sound too much like a Sunday school
lesson, but I will say it anyways. We must think before
we speak. We spend all day surrounded by our profes-
sors and our peers, and sometimes our words may be
all we have to distinguish who we are.
Some of the greatest and some of the worst people
in history are remembered by what they said, so take
heed, andTdecide how your words will defipe you.

Horoscopes:
Aries
Your energy level is higher in
the next several weeks. The
moneyTs coming in today and
tomorrow. Your assignment is:
show restraint. DonTt go on a
shopping binge.
Taurus
Stand firm for what you feel
is most important now. Your
position is under attack, but their
arguments lack substance.
Gemini
Behind-the-scenes manipulation
isnTt your favorite tactic. You can
find out a lot by asking questions
in private, though. DonTt take
action, yet.
Cancer
Your friends encourage a
celebration, but that wouldnTt
be prudent. Express your
appreciation freely, but hang
onto your money.
Leo
Acquiesce to an older person,
not because you care, do it
because you must. ItTs good
for business, itTs good manners
and itTs good for your spiritual
growth.
Virgo :
ItTs not a good time to travel.
Something you're working on will
fall apart if you leave it for long.
Give the job your full attention.
Libra
You'll make the most today
by carefully monitoring your
spending. Only buy things you
absolutely know will increase
in value.
Scorpio
You're attracting admiration
from a secure, giddy type. If
appropriate, this could be a nice
romantic connection. If not, do
business.
Sagittarius
The urge to actually produce
something is becoming
overwhelming. Do it for the sake
of artistic expression, and just for
the fun of it.
Capricorn
You haveibeen hurt before, but
donTt harden your heart. DonTt
open up your purse either, and
try to win love with gifts. That
won't work well.
Aquarius
When you get into a new topic,
your curiosityTs voracious. You
devour the literature on the
subject as if it were popcorn.
Popcorn as a side dish would be
more appropriate.
Pisces
Keep practicing and studying.
Do what you love, over and over
again. This is how you develop
your natural talent. Trust that the
money will follow. At this time in
your life, it will.

Tips for safeguarding
against identity theft
JENNY AYERS
STAFF WRITER
Whether grocery shopping,
taking the bus to school or simply
surfing the Internet, one can never
be too cautious with personal
information. Reports of identity
theft cases have become increas-
ingly frequent in the news, even
right here on ECUTs campus.
Identity theft happens when
someone takes information about
you and then uses it to commit
fraud. According to the Federal
Trade CommissionTs Web site,
identity fraud affects 10 million
people a year, which results in the
loss of about $50 billion for busi-
nesses. Victims of identity theft
have spent $5 billion trying to

David LettermanTs
former director speaks
to students
SHANNON DAVIS
SENIOR WRITER
Hal Gurnee, perhaps best known
as the director of oLate Night with
David Letterman,? will be visiting
ECU. The Office of Co-Curricular
Programs and Cultural Outreach,
along with the School of Com-
munication are co-sponsoring oAn
Evening with Hal Gurnee? today at
7 p.m. in Hendrix Theater.
Dr. Bernard Timberg, associate
professor in the School of Communi-
cation and author of Television Talk:
A History of the TV Talk Show, will
moderate a panel discussion follow-
ing GurneeTs presentation.
The focus of the evening will
be political comedy. With the help
of other faculty members and stu-
dents Timberg put together a film
about the Feb. 25 Academy Awards.
The events of this yearTs Acad-
emy Awards had events that rico-
cheted through various television
talk shows. It is a 12-minute video
sequence on Al Gore and the global
warming topics he presented and
the homosexual issues brought up
humorously by Ellen DeGeneres
and Melissa Etheridge. ECU pro-
fessors, Erick Green and Rudi Chu
also helped in the formulation
of footage, in addition to Butch
Saul, the video technician of
the School of Communication.
Among the students who aided
in the coordination of this event is

While most people have the
othat could never happen: to me?
attitude toward the matter, the
truth is that it can and does happen
to people from all backgrounds.
Wealthy, impoverished, elderly or
young, all are susceptible and all
should take precaution.
One way to prevent this from hap-
pening is to keep a mental inventory
of everything that is in your wallet
or purse. Never carry anything that
has your Social Security number
on it unless absolutely necessary
in case of theft or accidental loss.
On that same note, try to only
carry the credit or debit cards that
you know you will need, keeping
the others, along with your social
security card, in a discreet place.
This way, if your wallet is lost
or stolen, you will only have to
worry about a couple of credit
cards as opposed to all of them.

of Hal GurneeTs visit by saying, oI
had basic reporting with Mr. Tim-
berg. He asked me to join the ECU
research assistantship program. ITm
excited for Hal Gurnee to come and
do a screening of our own video.?
The research assistantship pro-
gram involves a handful of hard-
working students who have been
heavily involved with the making of
the Academy Awards film.
oMr. Timberg sent me to New
York City over Christmas break to
do some extensive research at The
Museum of Television and Radio. I
spent two days researching shows
and clips and viewing them to
further our research for the second
book and for our video. It was a great
experience for me? Maeser said.
Timberg said, oI think too often
university scholars isolate them-
selves in small defensible academic
boxes. They donTt cross boundaries
that ask larger questions. The kinds
of questions we've been asking have
been about politics, humor and popu-
lar culture and how they intersect.?
The respondent panel will
include Thomas Douglass, the
coordinator of the Comedy Film
Festival and Conference to be
held at ECU in October; Eric Shouse,
who worked as a professional stand-
up comedian for seven years in
Florida and now teaches
in the School of Communica-
tion at ECU; Jody Baumgart-
ner, with Jonathan Morris co-
author of a new book on political
comedy; and Anthony Holsten,
actor, director and founder of
the Oops! improvisational the-
ater group in .Greenville.

oI always take only the credit
cards that I know I am going to
use out with me when I go shop-
ping. It gives me peace of mind
knowing that I would only have
to cancel a card or two rather
than all of them if my purse got
snatched,? said Charlotte Moye,
sophomore communication major.
All someone needs to steal
your identity is your Social Secu-
rity number. They can misspell
your name or even miss a digit of
your birth date and still manage
to get credit, as long as they have
your Social Security number cor-
rect. Never give someone your
number unless you can be sure
they are a legitimate organization
and you know that it will be safe-
guarded information. If someone
calls claiming to be affiliated with
your school or work, only give
them a few numbers of your code in
case they are actually fraudulent.
As for documents you receive
in the mail with vital personal
information, donTt be so quick
to throw them to the way-
ward side. Potential thieves can
sort through trash in order to
recover pertinent information
about people. Always shred any
documents that may be harmful
in the wrong hands and, if you
cannot shred them, mark out any
important numbers that may be
found on the documents.

oIt made me feel insecure about
using my card because it seems
like itTs all too easy for this to
happen,? said Gray.
Identity theft can happen to
anyone when they least expect it.
Perhaps the scariest aspect is that
your identity can be stolen and
your credit ruined without your

National Broadcasting Society proves beneficial
Students gain
experience
SHANNON DAVIS
SENIOR WRITER
The National Broadcasting
Society is a student and professional
society of over eighty-five chapters
on college, university, community
college and high school campuses.
It has a long history dating back to
the 1940s.
The purpose of NBS is to foster
meaningful networking between
students of broadcasting and profes-
sional broadcasters. Radio, television,
film, cable and other media outlets
in the industry require broadcast-
ers with the appropriate skills and
knowledge to relay local, national
and international information effec-
tively. The members of the National
Broadcasting Society reflect the
diversity of the business.
Dr. Carey Martin, associate
professor for the School of Commu-
nication and the National Broadcast
Society advisor spoke of the benefits
in joining NBS.
_ oNBS is an excellent opportu-
nity for communication students
and anyone who is interested in the
world of television to be exposed to
the world of professionals at the local
and national level.
oIn the last year, student lead-
ership within [NBS] has been
wonderful. We have a solid core of
members, we just need more num-
bers,? said Martin.
There are many advantages
that go hand in hand with join-
ing NBS. Students gain valuable
skills that can prove vital long
after graduation.
oIt gives the media produc-
tion and broadcasting students a
chance to have a club. We have a
convention coming up next Monday,
which will give people a chance to
network with people who are cur-
rently in the broadcasting field,?
said member Brittney Grantham,
senior communication major.
This is GranthamTs second year
involved with NBS, and she is cur-
rently their Web master.
oWe try to have a guest speaker
at least once a month. We've had
meteorologists, anchors, producers
and reporters,? Grantham said.
According to their Web site, the
National Broadcasting Society goes
beyond the classroom to prepare col-
lege students and entry-level profes-
sionals for careers in the electronic
media. This mission is accomplished
through six areas of focus, which
include promoting excellence, pro-
viding exposure to the electronic
industry, providing opportunities for
ethical and responsible leadership,
providing advance media programs,
assistance in career preparations and
encouraging engagement in com-
munity service projects. :
The ECU chapter of NBS wa
created in 2002. Just a year later,
in 2003, it was recognized by the
national organization as. oRookie
Chapter of the Year.?
_ The current student leaders
are President Thron Herring, Vice
President Crystal Vick, Secretary/
Treasurer Amanda Mullen, PR
coordinator Nadine Maeser and
Webmaster Brittany Grantham.
Upcoming events include a
social on March 25, a donut sale at
Wal-Mart on March 26 between
10 a.m. " 4 p.m. and a volunteer-
ing opportunity at the Food Bank
on March 31.

Unique classes pique interest among students
Departments to provide
interesting and socially
relevant classes
LAURA HUHN
STAFF WRITER
ItTs that time again.
ItTs time to meet with the advi-
sors, look through the course cata-
log and figure out how to plan your
life for the next semester. It could
also be defined as the most stressful
time of the semester (besides finals
week of course).
It is for this very reason that the
academic departments hope each
year to provide not only the basic,
somewhat tedious classes with more
specialized and relevant classes. By
doing so, they allow the students
who willingly wade through the
basic and introductory classes to
learn about the area of study in a
more interesting and personally
satisfying way.
For instance, those that have
made it through the freshman com-
position courses have the opportu-
nity to use those skills to learn more
about the world in a unique way.
This fall, Dr. Tom Douglass,
professor of English, will be teach-
ing ENGL 3490, a course titled
Satire. This course will examine the
use of humor in literature through-
out the years. .
Douglass spoke of why he
thought this class was important.
oThere isnTt enough laughter in
the world, thatTs one thing ITm sure
of, and thatTs why I am teaching
this course.?
The course outline will include
the study of modern comedic icons
such as Jon Stewart and David
Sedaris, which makes the subject
matter relevant to many college
students, especially the ones who
appreciate laughter.
oWe will see how a joke works,
sort of like cutting up a frog,
and look at how satire is used to
affect public opinion and policy,?
Douglass said.
For those who enjoy delving
into different cultures, a brand
new professor, Dr. Nobuaki Taka-
hashi, will be teaching INTL 2004,
Introduction to Japanese Culture.
This class will be centered on
the evolution of the social aspects
of Japanese culture, a culture which
most American college students are
likely not that familiar with. This
class is a great opportunity to find
out about an advanced society which
we have gained so much from.
Dr. John Stevens, director of
the Classical Studies program,
spoke excitedly about this new class.
oProfessor Takahashi is an
extremely engaging man and this =
~ will be his first course at ECU. This
is also an important activity of the .
Asian Studies grant,? he said, refer- *
ring to the course of study that is
focused solely on Asian culture.
For those craving a bit of phi-
losophy, Dr. Derek Maher will
be teaching PHIL 2691, Clas-
sical Islam. Islam is gradually
becoming a more familiar sub-
ject in the world today, and is
always gaining recognition through
popular media.
This class will examine
the history and beliefs of Mus-
lims, and will give students the
opportunity to understand the
traditions and concepts of this

| Basketball Championship. Mills
BASEBALL continued from A6
MVP OF THE SEASON
CHERIE MILLS, SR LACOYA TERRY, SO
:
5-10 HEPHZIBAH, G.A. _
Terry came on strong towards
the end of the season, and is the
main reason for the Pirates 10-
game winning streak to close out
the regular season and win the C-
USA tournament. Last season she
started in only 13 games, averag-
ing 23.5 minutes per game. This
season Terry grew into her role as
a swing guard and playmaker on
the offensive end. She started in 31
out of 32 games, averaging 34.4
minutes per game. Her increased
responsibility running the offense
has taken some pressure off of
former C-USA Freshman of the
Year Jasmine Young. With Terry
and Young working together
well in the flow of a high-octane
offense, the Pirates were able to
out run and out score opponents |,
during the 10-game winning
streak. Terry was also honored
as the C-USA tournament MVP.
She averaged 20 points per game,
to go along with 4.3 assists per
6-4 AYDEN, N.C.
Mils led the team in seven
different areas, including average
rebounds per game (7.3), points
per game (14.9), total blocks (33)
and field goal percentage (484)
going into the NCAA WomenTs
provided a presence in the post
for a team lacking in size and
depth. She fouled out of only
one game all season, proving
to be a strong reliability. Mills
was one of two seniors on the
team this year, and brought a
wealth of experience to a young
team short on leadership. Her
maturity proved to be vital in the
Pirates run through the C-USA
tournament and into the NCAA
tournament. In three games in
the C-USA tournament, Mills
averaged nearly a double-double
(12.3 points per game and 9.3
rebounds per game). Her pres-
ence will be sorely missed next
season as the Pirates look to
contend their C-USA title.

ton Head Coach George Horton
after a 6-1 loss to ECU. oTip
your cap to Billy [Godwin] and
hisT staff for preparing his team
because they played the game of
baseball at a different speed than
we did.?
The sweep of the Titans was
a reversal of what happened when
the two teams met last year in
California. Last season, Fullerton
dominated ECU, outscoring the
Pirates 21-1 in three games.
oIt looked like the roles were
reversed... they played like we
did against them last year and we
couldnTt handle it,? Horton said.
Pitching has been the key to
ECUTs recent success as the team
has yet to allow more than five
runs since it was swept by UCLA
in mid-February. The PiratesT
Friday starter T.J. Hose has been
the personification of the ECU
turnaround as he has drastically
improved after a rough start to
the season. Hose has won all four
of his last starts since starting
the season 0-2. In his four wins,
Hose has allowed only seven runs
and struck out 24 in 27 innings
pitched.
Hose upstaged FullertonTs All-
American pitcher Wes Roemer on
March 9.as he allowed only three
hits and struck out six in seven
innings.
oThat was probably the best
performance heTs had since ITve
been at East Carolina,? said ECU
Head-Coach Billy Godwin after
the win. oIt was a great effort on
his part and ITm really proud of
what he did.?
Pirate leadoff-man Harrison
Eldridge said that HoseTs per-
formance helped give the Pirate
hitters the inspiration to not back
down from the Titans.
oHe came in, wasnTt scared at
all and got the job done like we
knew he would,? said Eldridge.
oYou canTt really ask for much
more than that on a Friday night
against the No. 7 team in the
country.?
ECUTs bullpen has also done
a great job of closing the door,
something it struggled with at
times early in the season. Since
the PiratesT 2-0 loss to Campbell
on Feb. 21, closer Shane Mathews
has allowed only one run in 11
relief appearances. Mathews has
recorded six saves and one win in
the stretch, and has yet to allow.
a run in his last 8 2/3 innings
pitched.
oOur bullpen has been great,?
Godwin said. oI canTt tell you
enough how great of a feeling
it is to turn it over to those
guys... our starting pitch-
ers have a lot of confidence in
the guys coming him behind
them too.?
ECU starts conference
play this weekend as it hosts
Memphis, which was picked
to finish: one spot ahead of the
Pirates in Conference. USA. The
Pirates will try to carry the
momentum they gained
from their osecond season?
into conference play, which might
be fitting to label their othird
season.?
oWe talk a lot about peaks
and valleys and we donTt want to
get too high or too low,? Godwin
said. oItTs a marathon, not a sprint
and we have to play consistent
baseball throughout our 56-game
schedule.?

Open Letter to ECU Students
It has come to my attention that we are having difculty managing the behavior of
particular students who are riding the late-night student transit buses on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday evenings from 10:00 PM. " 3:00 A.M. Students are behaving
in a very unruly manner -- yelling and singing loudly, interfering with the bus driver,
and pushing and shoving in the aisles. It appears that alcohol abuse is at the root "
of this situation. Obviously, any of the behaviors identified threaten the safety of
all students riding in the vehicle, as well as other vehicles and pedestrians.
Beginning the Thursday after Spring Break, we will be placing police officers on
our buses during the hours noted. We will also be posting and distributing our
Code of Conduct for appropriate behavior on our student transit buses. Those
students who continue to behave inappropriately will be dealt with through
appropriate legal processes and channels.
But the real responsibility in this situation lies with those students who are taking
advantage of the services provided by our transit system. We need to have you
begin to set good models for appropriate behavior and raise the bar for conduct
on our buses.
So, as you return to campus and reflect on past experiences while riding on student
transit buses, I ask that you help us provide safe, reliable transportation to all of
those who need it. We will not continue to tolerate past behaviors that interfere
with the safety of the riders. We hope that we can count on your cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
