ues on the late night buses
ae
Starting tonight, police will accompany the late night Pirate Express bus rides from downtown.
Officers onboard to
ensure safe ride home
ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER
Starting tonight, a police offi-
cer will accompany the late night
Pirate Express bus rides from
downtown.
Due to unacceptable behavior
by passengers, police officers will
now be on all four routes that
provide an alternative to walking
or driving.
A variety of factors caused
the decision made by ECU police,
Greenville city police, student
transit and the office of the dean
of students.
oThe behaviors include yelling,
foul language, pushing and shov-
ing, refusing to listen to the bus
driver, urination in the aisles and
directly annoying the bus driver,?
said Marilyn Sheerer, vice chancel-
lor of student life.
Other problems include smok-
ing and alcohol being brought
onboard. :
oNo alcohol will be allowed on
the buses,? said Capt. Mike Perry,
commander of the ECU campus
safety division. oIf you are 21 and
want to drink at home you need
to find some other means to get it
back to your residence.?
o~ Perry said that the officers
would not look specifically for
underage drinkers.
oThe intent of placing police
officers on the buses is to ensure
the safety of everyone utilizing
the bus. We are not targeting the
underage drinkers. Individuals
who are conducting themselves
in an inappropriate manner and-

ECU student action ~
team calls on all to help
Saving Darfur the
cause
CARMIN BLACK
STAFF WRITER
For centuries African coun-
tries have suffered famine, pov-
erty and relentless destitution.
One of those countries battling
what President Bush calls a omass
genocide? is Sudan.
For the last three years,
10,000 Sudanese people have died
each month in Darfur due to civil
war, marginalization and con-
stant attacks by the Janjaweed.
Even though the United
States, along with numerous
other countries who are a part of
the U.N., have taken measures to
aid Darfur and the many refugees
forced to flee their homes, many
people feel further assistance is
still greatly needed.
Because of this need, com-
mittees, foundations and clubs
around the world have been cre-
ated to help stop this genocide.
Three weeks ago the Student
Action Team was created at ECU
to help the people of Darfur. The
SAT is a sub-organization of Pi
Kappa Delta, ECUTs communica-
tion fraternity, but is serving as an
apolitical organization with no des-
ignated officers or group members.
oWe hope this group [SAT]
will actually serve more as a
think-tank; a separate business
entity that can include any and
every ECU student or group
interested in becoming involved,?
said PKDTs president and SAT
facilitator, Roger Conner.
All finances raised by SAT go
directly to Darfur and SAT has
collaborated with SaveDarfur.
com, one of the largest organized
advocates for the elimination of
all violence in Sudan.
According to Brendan I.
Koerner from his article in Slate
Magazine entitled, oWho Are the
d
Contributed photo
Janjaweed? A Guide to the Suda-
nese Militiamen,? the Janjaweed
are mostly men of Arab decent
who have long been in opposi-
tion to DarfurTs settled African
farmers, (differently identified by
their darker skin).
Koerner makes it clear that
the Janjaweed have long been
fighting for control over DarfurTs
scarce water and useable farm-
land. However; it was in 2003
that these armed forces became
increasingly more aggressive.
oTwo non-Arab groups, the
Sudan Liberation Army and
the Justice and Equality Move-
ment, took up arms against the
Sudanese. government, alleging
mistreatment by the Arab regime
in Khartoum. In response to the
uprising, the Janjaweed militias
began pillaging towns and vil-
lages inhabited by members of
the African tribes from which the
rebel armies draw their strength
"the Zaghawa, Masalit and
Fur tribes,? said Koerner, again
taken from his article in Slate
Magazine.
But to say that the Jan-
jaweed simply pillage would
be like saying a tsunami
only trickles in over a city.
According to SaveDarfur.com, the
Members of Pi Kappa Delta gather outside of Mendenhall.
emer
Janjaweed have actually caused
over 400,000 deaths and have
forced over 2 million people to flee
their homes only to live in refu-
gee camps in neighboring Chad.
The situation in Sudan has been
described as othe largest and
most complex humanitarian
problem on the globe,? according
Antonio Guterres, the United
Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees.
oOur mission is to raise public
awareness about the ongoing
genocide in Darfur and to mobi-
lize a unified response to the
atrocities that threaten the lives of
two million people in the Darfur
region,? states the Save Darfur
Coalition mission statement.
Besides collaborating with Save-
Darfur.com, SAT is: currently
calling out to every organization ©
on campus for their participation
as well.
oTL encourage everyone to take
action, no matter how small.
The power of one person utiliz-
ing their voice to help others is
immense. The power of groups of
people utilizing their collective
voice to help others is life chang-
ing,? Conner said.

Final examinations of
OneStop system
ALYCIA WENDT
STAFF WRITER
The Office of the Internal
Auditor is in the process of doing
audits and selecting an outside
vendor to look at the OneStop
code involved with the January
privacy breach.
This recent privacy breach,
which occurred Jan. 22, was not
because of a hacker or a network
intrusion. It was simply a bug in
the OneStop system.
This bug could have occurred
from the writing of bad codes
that didnTt work as the program
intended it to.
oIt is a regrettable incident;
however, we are confident that it was
not a malicious one. In other words,
there is no evidence to indicate any
theft of data,? said Interim Chief
Information Officer Jack Brinn.
An internal audit of the pro-
cedures surrounding the previous
breach is in the final stages. This
audit will determine any proce-
dural changes that need to be made
to prevent a future breach.
Another examination by an out-
side firm of the OneStop program-
ming code will determine if there are
any other possibilities of personal
information in danger of exposure.
An outside firm has not yet
been selected, but a few companies
have made proposals.
oT did feel safe before, but now
that this happened ITm not sure.
We put our info in systems like
that [OneStop] thinking that
ECU is going to keep it safe. T
donTt think anybody could have
predicted that something like
that would happen,? said freshmen
Jymme Anne Walton.
According to the Executive
Director of University Communica-
tions John Durham, there have been
a number of contacts concerned
about their credit card information.
in process
If these contacts wish to reac-
tivate their credit card to ensure
their information has not been
revealed, the University will look
into these individualsT situations to
decide if they will cover the reacti-
vation fees, according to Durham.
oIf any organization or insti-
tution requires us to provide this
sort of information, it has an obli-
gation to protect it, to anticipate
ways that it might be accessed and
take preventive steps. It is no dif-
ferent from any other duty of care,?
said Professor Bill Loving.
If anyone is worried that their
credit card information has been
revealed, credit card reports are
free of charge once a year.
According to Brinn, ECU has
never had an incident like this
occur before in the past. Over the
past two years over 101 million
clients of major banks, universi-
ties, retail businesses, brokerage
houses, and federal and state agen-
cies have experienced personal
data exposure.
These incidents occur because
of hackers, lost laptops and other
situations. Brinn thinks that a few
people who suspect their informa-
tion was revealed in the ECU inci-
dent had higher worries because
they might have experienced
identity theft before, according
to Brinn.
oI donTt think it is right that
they use our social security num-
bers as our student identifications.
It is good that they are going to
fix that with Banner. As a uni-
versity, if they are going to have
our personal information, I think
that they should be able to keep it
more concealed,? said sophomore
eu Ashley Stanton.
Banner, which students will
begin using to register for the
2007 summer and fall semesters,
will terminate the use of social
security numbers as student iden-
tification numbers.

LATE BUS inne from Al
draw attention to themselves
should understand that officers
may speak with them. We desire
the ride to downtown and back
home to be safe and enjoyable and
request everyone to help make it
happen,? Perry said.
ECU and Greenville police
will split the routes, with the
Greenville city officers covering
those such as the Exchange and
North Campus Crossing that are
currently out of ECUTs jurisdiction.
oThe officers onboard are in
a community policing role,? said
Wood Davidson, general manager
of the student transit authority.
oThey understand that the pur-
pose of the late night bus service
is to provide a safe ride home for
intoxicated students regardless of
age. They are not there to intimi-
date but rather to maintain a safe
environment for passengers and
the bus operators.?
Davidson said that the prob-
lems have obecome common to
all the Pirate Express routes on a
regular basis.?
Sheerer hopes. that the mea-
sure is temporary but that officers
will be in place until the situation
changes.
oWe are disappointed. We run
these late night buses so students
donTt have to drive after they've
been at the bars. And then to have
to deal with this kind of unruly
behavior is frustrating to say the
least,T Sheerer said.
Sheerer said that though there
have been similar problems on the
buses previously, oit seems worse
than normal.?
Officers will stand at the front
of buses and check IDs as students
enter, not for age, but to ensure
that they are students.
OneCards will be sufficient
and all loading will occur at the
front of:-the buses.
oIt would make us happy to
never issue a citation, but we are
being paid to ensure the trip is safe
and laws are obeyed,? Perry said.

Collaboration Station
promotes unity
KIMBERLY BELLAMY
SENIOR WRITER
A new database program, the
Collaboration Station, is in the pro-
cess of being created and it will have
the capability to search similarities
between university organizations.
oItTs going to promote team-
work and unity for organizations
on campus,? said Ashley Glover,
general manager of the Collabora-
tion Station.
The database will provide inter-
active calendars, mission statements,
club officers, contact information,
service partners and Web site
addresses for the campus and the
national organization, according to
James Wagner; director of academic
and student affairs for SGA execu-
tive cabinet.
Students will also be able to
type in a keyword or phrase such
as ocommunity service? and the
database will provide you with all
the organizations that have the
phrase listed in the mission state-
BREAKFAST
ALL DAY
EVERYDAY
11/AM-
ment, purpose or another category.
oMost organizations have simi-
lar purposes and want to do some
type of philanthropic work for the
community but sometimes it doesnTt
get done because of lack of man _
power and the Collaboration Station
will counter act this,? Glover said.
Maggie Kettler, IT consultant,
has assisted Wagner and Glover
with this project by suggesting the
type of software they should use and
by helping them enter the informa-
tion for each organization into the
database.
Originally, the software options
that Wagner and Glover were con-
sidering were Microsoft Access and
Microsoft Excel.
After meeting with Kettler
and seeing how easy the program
would be for students to use, they
decided to use Microsoft SharePoint.
oIt is Web-based software. |
showed it to them [Wagner and
Glover] and they liked the features
that it had to offer,T said Kettler.
Students can access information
on or off campus, using SharePoint
software. The only other software
needed is Microsoft Office and
an Internet browser, according to
Kettler.
oThis service would replace a
lot of the spreadsheets, word docu-
ments, and e-mail attachments that
people use to communicate with one
another,? Kettler said.
oSharePoint is on the ECU net-
work so any student with an ECU ©
username and password can log on,?
said Wagner.
ITCS has found value in Share-
Point and has purchased a license so
that external collaborators outside
the university can participate in
the sharing information and ideas,
according to Kettler.
oThere will.be limits on who
will be able to view the informa-
tion, that will be decided on by the
administrators of the station here,?
Kettler said.
The decision for the limitation
of viewers is similar to the privacy
setting on Myspace where one can
select who is allowed to view their
page, said Kettler.

PRIVACY continued from Al
for me to be a student here, then
they should have the technology
to keep my information safe,? said
freshman Alison Beach.
The Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1947
protects studentsT education
information, which includes any
information that a student pro-
vides to the university concerning
their education process or any
record from which a student can
be identified.
FERPA guarantees a student
the rights to review their educa-
tion records, the right to seek and
amend their educational records
and the right to limit the disclo-
sure of their educational records.
oThe situation makes me
question the capability of ECUTs
administrations and their ability
to handle the large responsibilities
placed upon them. They should
have a multi-step, fail safe system
when it comes to protecting the
personal information of their stu-
dents,? said sophomore Josh Vick.
ECU has created a helpful
Web site, ecu.edu/incident, and a
telephone hotline, 877-328-6660,
to answer questions about the
privacy breach incident.

want to see their yearbook during
the Centennial year.?
Nine covers were originally
designed, but later narrowed down
to the three shown on Onestop.
oThe three covers were selected
after [the nine] were reviewed by
the Buccaneer student staff, faculty
and administration,? said Stepha-
nie Whitlock Dicken, assistant
director of Student Media.?
oThe Buccaneer staff was
aware of the design process and
is on board... Dr. Sheerer [Vice
Chancellor for Student Life] and
Mr. King [Assistant Vice Chan-
cellor for Student Experiences]
had input as well,? added Hill.
Sarah Umstead, Student
Media coordinator and yearbook
adviser, said the Buccaneer is espe-
cially exciting this year because of
the Centennial.
oAs the university celebrates
100 years of service and leader-
ship, the Buccaneer is here to
capture the exciting year and
celebrations, as well as look back
into the distinguished past,? said
Umstead. oThe content of the
Buccaneer will begin with a spe-
cial Centennial section... [and
include] historical information
throughout the book, to blend
past and present.?

Planning to _
save your soul?
One bottle at a time
YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER
Just when everything seems to be going
great in the world for religions, someone comes
along to stir up trouble. Shifting through my
favorite Internet news sources, I stumbled across
something that really raised an eyebrow and
surprised me that I had not heard of it before.
The subject of my sudden perked interest"bot-
tled Holy Water. Apparently, while the water does
not ward off Vampires or any other fiends of the
undead, drinking it will apparently ocure what ails
you.? Simply drinking the water will cleanse sins,
wash away remorse and cure that parched your
throat on a warm day. Blessed by everyone from g
a Priest to a Rabbi (no joke), you begin to wonder
why in GodTs name you would drink anything else!
Maybe itTs the fact they have yet to invent
Holy Lemonade. Even when you could not
see yourself paying for bottled Holy Water,
let alone drinking it, why are other people?
When a drink makes the claim that it can wash
away your sins as well as your thirst, everyone
should take a step back to examine that premise.
To begin with, any devout religious individual
takes the idea of sinning seriously. With heaven
and hell in mind during their daily lives, drink-
ing a bottle of water to counter greed or sexual
promiscuity seems like a small price to pay. But
wait until you see the guarantee some retailers
are proudly claiming to all you sinners out there.
Drinking their water carries the guarantee of not
going to hell. ThatTs right, friends"chugging
down one of these bad boys after a night on the
town will right all that you have made wrong.
That is where my problem first lies with. these
claims. For Christians, the Bible gives plenty of com-
mentary on holy water, but never mentions drinking
it. Examples of water being mentioned are Baptism,
which in some denominations, the ritual is necessary.
But in no denomination that I can think of do they
believe that drinking Holy Water is a guaranteed way
to salvation. All denominations would tell you a belief
in Jesus Christ as the Lord and way would be your
only ticket into heaven, not a drink you order by mail.
Secondly, these retailers expand out for busi-
ness to other religions, naming those who follow
Judaism, Islam and others that can be saved by
drinking their miracle Holy Water. But why? Jews
do not even believe in a hell, so buying a more
expensive water for the purpose of steering clear
of a place they do not believe in makes no sense.
Muslims look only to God for salvation. If they
were to consider that a bottle of water could help
them into heaven, Muslims would be commit-
ting a larger sin than they were trying to avoid.
Faith is very. personal and should be held to a
one on one relationship with God. Faith in God
is what any religious follower should be wor-
ried about, not faith in a bottle of water blessed
by someone who supposedly has faith in God.
Unless they come out with blessed Naked Fruit
drinks... how could anyone turn those down?
Hypocrisy at home
U.S. to begin development of first
new hydrogen bomb in two decades
JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITER
News came out last Friday in the LA Times that
the U.S. Energy Department has announced plans to
build anew hydrogen bomb, and intends to revamp our
cold-war era nuclear arsenal. This is the latest addi-
tion to the long list of hypocritical actions initiated by
Bush in his dreadful reign as Commander and Chief.
The term hypocrite as defined by the Webster's dic-
tionary as oa person who acts in contradiction to his or
her stated beliefs or feeling.? If we use this framework,
would it be irrational to say that Bush is a hypocrite?
Last time I checked we invaded Iraq to find the
very same weapons we have now publicly admitted
intentions to build more of. The latest enemy of the
state is Iran, because of their intent to enrich ura-
nium and our distrust of their intentions for its use.
We recently came to an accord with North Korea
after two years of hostility because of their nuclear
intentions. We have publicly demonized all of these
enemies in the media for their intent to build weapons
of mass destruction, and now we are building more
doomsday devices to add to our arsenal of over 6,000? -
What is this saying to the world? In my
opinion it is just another attempt by the Bush
administration to flex their muscle and tell the
world oI do what I want!? It is entirely unneces-
sary to add to our already un-holy defense budget,
especially for more nuclear weapons, regardless
of the threat of other nuclear powers in the world.
Currently we have thousands of nuclear weapons
left over from the cold war and they are still as
effective and active as they were 30 years ago.
If we go ahead with these plans, not only are
we putting the world at even more risk for acci-
dental and non-accidental nuclear war, we would
be initiating a new arms race for those countries
that donTt have nuclear arms yet. If Iran and North
Korea were not serious of their intentions to build
nuclear technology, this new show of disregard for
international peace will surely offer justification for
them to go ahead and pursue their nuclear ambitions.
More than increasing the threat of nuclear war,
the Bush administration is committing themselves
to yet another immoral action in international
politics. A nuclear: weapon has never been used
in warfare and the devastation that would result
is truly unimaginable. ITm not saying that Bush
intends to commit our country to nuclear war,
but anything is possible when we have a country
run by men who have authorized the indiscrimi-
nate bombing of several countries since 9/11.
Once again, the actions of the Bush administra-
tion have left me concerned for the future. Will we
continue to pursue our own pernicious and aggres-
sive motives of world domination, or will we commit
ourselves to a peaceful future for our children?

for this stupid project.

I've lost my best friend to World of
Warcraft, and now | fear | will never get
her back. Going home for Spring Break
made me realize how very much | miss
all of my friends back home.
I'm a regular at a bar downtown and
| just love it when | go up to the bar
and that hot bartender has my drink
ready.
To the idiots who are b****ing and
moaning about the police riding the
drunk bus, and threatening to drive
home drunk, just how stupid are
you? If people were not acting like
they didnTt have home training on the
drunk bus, the cops wouldn't need to
ride it to ensure the safety of every
other passenger! If you do decide to
drive home drunk, | hope they put you
under the jail and take your license
away forever. : :
| date a Hooters calendar girl.
ECU is soon going to have the
reputation for the most underage
DUls in the country. We go from party
school to felon school.
That was such a dumb idea to put
police officers on the late night buses.
Maybe you could have addressed the
problems. Now a ton of my friends
are going to be drunk driving instead.
Great job!
| am sick of hearing the hockey team
complain about never getting any
credit. YTall are just a club sport. | donTt
hear the other club teams whining
about 15 minutes of fame.
| think that the only word that my friend
knows is oskeeeeet.?
Whatis the first thing you thing of when
you see a woman with large boobs...
motorboat!
| learned in my health class that one in
four men will have a sexual experience
with another male at some point in their
life. Wow, guess we have a lot of guys
out there who have been lying.
OK, ECU, | love you, but itTs time to
grow up. You came here for a degree,
not a spot in the AA. Yes, there are
going to be cops on the drunk bus now.
This is your cue to pick up the phone,
and call a friend who might be willing
to drive sober for a night. Even better,
try sobriety for kicks and giggles. As for
your grades, go to class! Write notes!
Crack open that book you spent $150
on! Even Jack Sparrow had a goal in
life other than getting drunk!
What is the point of buying designer
brand sunglasses, clothing or purses
that are fake? How sad to have sucha
low self-esteem and such an extreme
need to be accepted.
| am mad at how when people play
drinking games, they never drink the
number of sips or seconds that they
are supposed to.
People who donTt wear shower shoes
in dorm showers are gross.
Quit bumming cigarettes from me
when you're downtown just because
you oonly smoke when you drink.? |
oonly eat when ITm hungry? but | donTt
see you stocking my fridge. Stop Shop
is there for a reason. If you know you
are going to be drinking, do yourself
a favor and stop and get you a pack
before you go out.
Sometimes | just want to put up a
poster of all the things they donTt tell
these kids touring our campus!
| saw you put your cheat card under
your bubble sheet! How do you live
with yourself?
You people are so stupid. Do some
research before forming opinions. You
sound ignorant otherwise.
ITm loving this weather.
No, no, you were not born with any
accent. ThatTs not a biological trait.
That's the difference between what we
like to call oNature v. Nurture.?
| canTt believe the topic of bus drivers
using cell phones can make oGood
Morning America? but not the Pirate
Rants. | guess the safety of college
students riding the bus isnTt as
important as the number of cats in
Greenville.
| look at myself in every bus window
because | look good. | mean really
good.
My girlfriend makes fun of me for the
way | eat food. | feel the love.
Don't roll your eyes at me.
Trail mix is addictive.
No you're not a lesbian for kissing
another girl and liking it. It takes
more then that. A lot of straight girls
kiss girls and like it and some do it
simply because theyTre drunk or want
attention. s
There are a lot of cats in Greenville
because a lot of people abandoned
their pets when they move..
Does anyone else think Banner is
making the registration process more
difficult?
| think boys double in hotness when
theyTre really nice and lose lots of
hotness points when theyTre jerks.
| got my first hamster ever less than two
months ago and am already over her.
She gets very little attention anymore
and | kinda feel bad for her.
Liver, ITm sorry for putting you through
so much. Thanks for telling my brain
to black out because | donTt remember
what happened on St. PatrickTs Day!
Crocs are very comfortable. Crocs are
also ugly as sin. :
| really wish that guys would just step
up and start pursuing girls instead of
vice-versa. | really think that would fix
a lot of issues.
| want a God-centered relationship,
you want a God-centered relationship,
we get along incredibly well, we enjoy
the crap out of each otherTs company...
so whatTs the problem?
The third floor in the library is quiet, so
the next time you shush me when ITm
asking a question, go to that floor.
You arenTt cool enough to have a
Rant. :
It makes me uncomfortable when
people speak a different language
around me...
Liberals are destroying America.
You stood in line at the club for
20 minutes; | stood in line for 20
seconds.
If we are not in a relationship, you do
not have the write to get mad when |
T kiss another guy.
| burned your cat.
Is it sad that | was sitting in class and
reading the Pirate Rants and when
| went to read the next one, it said
| should be paying attention to my
professor instead of reading them?
Why do so many people think there
are 51 states?
To the person who sits in my seat and
leaves TEC in Flanagan, thank you! It
makes my day!
The hockey team canTtbe better looking
than the baseball team. Baseball
- players wear tight pants...
| wonder if itTs me ignoring you...
Casual sex is not sexy. ItTs sleazy,
and thatTs why so many people end
up with STDs. :
So if ITm not allowed to take my dog off
the leash, please tell me where | can
take him to play fetch? ;
Does anyone else find it comical
that Jason from oLaguna BeachT got
arrested in downtown Greenville?!
Yea pranks are fun, if your roommate
can take a joke, and doesnTt call the
cops.
ITm Anna Nicole's babyTs daddy.
Boy, what | would not give for some
pink shoelaces. Wait! | have them on
my shoes.
Does anyone else think we have one
of the prettiest campuses in North
Carolina?
Sheetz completes me.
Where have all the nice girls gone?
| wish people would stop comparing
the difficulty in one anotherTs major. We
are all going to school to be something
and someone"and that is what counts
the most.
How come so many people look at
me like ITm crazy when | walk around
campus with a smile on my face?
Is writing half of your paper and then
basically copying and pasting the last
half considered plagiarism?
Quit staring at me while | eat my sweet
and salty Chex Mix.
| hope my boyfriend knows we are
breaking up when he moves...
| know you say people who are
negative bring you down... well the only
thing that makes me negative is you.
Motivated people annoy me...
| am sitting in a cubicle at the library
right now trying to study and the guy in
front of me is snoring so loudly | keep
losing my concentration!
ITm so glad our teacher finally called
you out. Our entire class is tired of you
and the fact that you have a story for
everything the teacher says.
My mom seriously thinks ITm an
alcoholic, why canTt she just understand
ITm in college?
Even though | laugh when you call me
dumb, it really crushes my feelings.
We both know your boyfriend wants
me, please donTt let this ruin our
friendship.
Is there really people who actually get
ready on exam days? Or is it just me
who rolls out of bed and rushes for aT
scantron?
| know you heard me talking crap about
you behind your back, why won't you
just say something about it?
!Tm dating someone who ITm not
attracted to whatsoever, how is this
possible?
Every guy | date is just a stepping stone
to the real thing, so why won't you hurry
up and come home to me?
Why am | always having to prove
myself to you? | donTt think its worth
it anymore.
| hate how | donTt know whose fingers
have been all over this keyboard
and mouse. Do the computer lab
technicians ever clean these things?
They should have those spray bottles
like the gym.
| love my brown-eyed beauty!
Are there any guys at ECU who don't
drink, donTt smoke and aren't sex
addicts?
To the boy who is looking for a girl with -
morals... ITm in Aycock.
| have the greatest boyfriend in the
world.
It makes my day when | am walking
through campus and someone drives
by blasting their cheese ball music like
theyTre cool.
When someone gives you the evil
eye during class, that means for you
to shut up! ©
ITm a 20-year-old woman and ITm still
a virgin, and itTs by choice.
| am so proud of the ECU WomenTs
Basketball Team. Way to go Pirates!
Argghh!
| really wanted to tell you this morning
how bad you snored last night but |
couldn't bear hurting your feelings.
| really like you and your fine Pirate
booty, but | need some sleep!
People who respond to Rants online
are the sad lot whose Rants didnTt _
make it into the paper.
ECU Swimmers are hot!
Dear Guy Friend, | am sorry that | canTt
come up to you and say hey when
we're in the same place. ItTs because
you're with your girlfriend and | hardly
know her and honestly, it's weird.
| miss the hip hop of the 1990s. Thank
God for YouTube so | can relive those
songs again.
Every time my hot oceanography
teacher mentions his wife and kids in
class | die a little bit inside.
Keanu Reeves is in my history class...
and yes, heTs pretty good looking.
| like you boy. And ITm not giving up
without a fight. Even if you can't tell ITm
fighting. ThatTs the ogame? right?
You used me. | donTt care how much
you deny it, because if you cared
you wouldn't be able to go so long
without talking to me. | want to kick
myself for how | used to act when it
came to you. Screw you. ITm so gone.
Thank you Healthy Pirates for
handing out free water before | went
and paid $1.25 for one. You made
my day.
| keep telling myself that | canTt fall for
- you, but the truth is that | already have
and ITm just too scared to tell you.
| donTt get you. You say that you are so
in love with your boyfriend, yet you still
seem to want mine.
Don't tell me I
donTt live in the
real world

NEWS EDITOR
While sitting in class, time after time, I listen
to professors tell me how they are preparing me for
the oreal world,? as if I have been living a dream all
of my life.
I wake up and function in society, just like every
other living person; therefore I am justified in saying
that I live in the real world.
As college students, I guess some professors
believe we are still living in a scene from Animal
House where we all drink alcohol to the point of
passing out and have multiple sexual partners.
On the other hand, maybe some are envisioning
a scene from Van Wilder, where we all live off our
parentsT money and stay in college for seven years
because we are. afraid to graduate and get a job in
the oreal world.?
For some college students, this may be true, but
not for all.
If by some random chance some of my profes-
sors mean to imply that they were preparing me
for the professional world, look around the class-
room; many students have to work while attending
college just to pay for the rising costs of tuition.
According to an article from the Review of
Educational Research, oCollege student employ-
ment has been increasing steadily for at least four
decades. At present, approximately 80 percent of
all college students are employed while completing
their undergraduate education. Even among students
under the age of 24 at four-year colleges, more than
50 percent are employed during the school year.?
Why then do students repeatedly hear we are being
prepared for a world that we are already a part of?
I am not the only student who pays all of my bills
without any support from my parents, many students do
not have anything handed to them. This is the real world.
On top ofa work schedule, many students have to
deal with the stress of homework deadlines and the
coordination of group projects in their spare time.
I have heard professors comment that for every
hour spent in the classroom, a ogood? college student
is supposed to spend two to three hours studying
outside of class.
So, if a student is registered as full-time, they
are taking 12 hours or more, and in addition to the
12 hours in the classroom, a student is supposed to
study 24 " 36 hours.
Essentially, just by completing our studies, we as
college students are looking at a full-time job before
tacking on.the additional hours spent.at.the money-
making places of employment.
Students have the same responsibilities as every-
one else in this world and we are paying for an educa-
tion. As a working student, I donTt expect any special
treatment, but I do demand respect.
If 1 am competent enough to sit in a classroom and
acknowledge my professors, then I should receive the
same respect and acknowledgement as anyone else
in the oreal world.?

ACTION continued from Al
At SATTs first meeting, held
March 6, numerous presidents
and members of various ECU
organizations attended not only
to learn about the crisis, but
to also brainstorm ways to get
more people involved and to
raise money for this cause.
Some of the ideas presented
were to ask teachers to give
their students extra credit if
they became actively involved
with this project, to hold a view-
ing of the film Hotel Rwanda in
Hendrix Theatre on campus and
send all the ticket proceeds to
the Save Darfur Coalition.
Another idea is to utilize any
free speech zone on campus to
verbally tell passers-by about
what is happening in Sudan
and how they can take a stance.
SAT is looking for volun-
teers who are interested
in joining to show up at their
next bi-monthly meeting this
Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Bate

Horoscopes:
Aries
Your friends are full of ideas,
some of which are better than
others. The one where you pay
for everything is based upon a
flawed premise.
Taurus
The test is tough, but you can
ace it. You're tougher and you're
charming. YouTllalmost make it
look easy. But you will have to
make concessions.
Gemini
This is the hard part of the job.
You feel like you're slogging
through mud. Actually, what
you're doing is very important.
Don't give up.
Cancer
A social engagement takes up a
lot more time than anticipated.
ItTs fun to chat, but time is
valuable. DonTt waste it; you canTt
replace it.
Leo
Follow through.on the orders
you've been given. There are
many benefits to be received for
your loyal service. DonTt mess it
up by being confrontational now.
Virgo
Your problem now is temptation.
ItTs stronger than usual. YouTd
love to give in to it, and you know
that could get expensive. You'd
do better to prepare for a test
thatTs coming up tomorrow.
Libra
ItTs not a good time to gamble,
or buy yourself frivolous things.
If you're not sure about your self-
control, stay away from the stores.
Scorpio
You're very competitive, but donTt
fall into a trap. DonTt react and
do something you'll later wish
you hadn't.
Sagittarius
The more you get into the project,
the more you realize itTs not going
to turn out exactly as you'd
pictured. Abandon expectations
to enable imagination.
Capricorn
True love doesnTt care about how
much»youshave; except maybe: =
to help you get more. Trust the
person who encourages you to
save, not to go further into debt.
Aquarius
Some of your favorite fantasies
are being severely challenged.
You first response is anger. That
won't get you anywhere. The
right answerTs not just a theory,
itTs also practical.
Pisces
You're able to explain what
you're doing much better, as
you go along. Choose your words
carefully, using as few as you can.
In communication and in art, you
do best as a minimalist.
Drink Recipes:
Mock Margarita
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
1 cup bottled key lime juice
(recommended: Nellie and
JoeTs Famous Key West Lime
Juice)
32 ounces club soda
Divide the mint evenly into an
ice cube tray and pour the key
lime juice evenly over top. Freeze
until key lime juice is completely
frozen.
Crush the key lime-mint ice cubes
in a blender. Divide mixture:
among four large margarita
glasses. Top each glass with
eight ounces club soda and stir
gently to combine. Garnish each
with a sprig of mint and serve
immediately.

whipped cream.

Welcome to the broken hearts club

Breaking up is always hard, but finding a private place to talk face to face is a vital way to soften the blow.
Jump ship without drowning
Breaking up from a
male perspective
YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
Are relationships great or
what? Everything is clear blue
skies and vivid rainbows day after
day, but the moment you lose
that significant other, life turns
into a deluge. Nevertheless, this
need not be the case. There is a
little known secret in the book of
relationships, filed under the chap-
ter on breaking up and I am here
to share it.
While this book is public
knowledge and everyone has
access to it, rarely do guys actu-
ally take the time to read what is
available. This book is past expe-
rience, its chapters are insights of
those who have been there, done
that. It is when relationships with
a significant other finally reach a
breaking point that both parties
If you do not feel you can
improvise, then stick with what
works. Location is almost as
important as what a guy can say to
a girl and this fact should always
be kept in mind. To begin, do not
think to make a scene. Breaking up °
is not a science and as such, never
goes as expected.
Marina Bonner, a sophomore
elementary education major,
__ Laughter,? on
__hames of Holoca
need to know how and when 10 37.2]
~~o Tike to keep the relationship after
knows to keep things between
those involved.
oThe best way to break up
is definitely somewhere private.
The relationship was between you
and that person, not you and the
world,? said Bonner.
When selecting the place
to call it quits, however, plan
ahead. Be considerate of
everyone involved or the
event will leave both
with a bad after taste.
You do not want your
ex to think of how
horrible you were
to them every time
they go to the movies,
or out to eat.
oDefinitely do it in
person, because face to face
is key. Its kind of cliché but
honesty is the best policy, so
do it in person. If you're going to
break someoneTs heart, look them
in the eye and get it over with,?
said Vincent Woods, freshmen
political science major. |
_,Deciding the terms you would
breaking up is also crucial. Will
the two of you remain friends
and on speaking terms? On the
other hand, will things fall to a -
middle school level and you erase
the person from your mind? The
method and execution of the break
up has a direct impact on how
things will remain between you
and your ex
oThe way to do it depends on
the couple. If you were really close
then it may be better to do it in
person. If you didnTt see each other,
all the time then on the phone
would be OK since you won't run
into each other all the time. Online
is never really a
good idea
though,?
Bonner said: :
Always watch
what you say when it
finally comes to getting
things off your chest. This
works both ways, as things spoken
in anger are hard to take back.
Breaking up is a tough moment for
both sides, but both involved can
still help the other through it. If

Arcade Fire tops Billboard charts
Neon BibleT reaches no. 2
JOHN BOSCO
SENIOR WRITER
For a couple of weeks now, ITve been absorbing
the new Arcade Fire album, Neon Bible. Initially, I
knew I liked it.
Still, when I tell my friends that I like it better
than the Arcade FireTs last album, Funeral, ITm met
with cries of disagreement and looks of disbelief.
But donTt get me wrong, Funeral is a great
album, and I can see why people might prefer it to
Neon Bible.
I just like the songs on the new album better.
Recorded in a church near Montreal that the
band had converted to a recording studio, Neon Bible
booms with a harsh reverb, and the echoes evident on
the tracks really help capture a very distinct mood.
- Even on my first listen, one of the most surpris-
ing things about this album is that the tracks sound
more like Bruce Springsteen tunes than they do like
carbon-copies of Funeral.
While some might think thatTs a bad thing, itTs not.
The fact that the Arcade Fire was able to
create something that is somewhat a departure
from their last album is a good sign"it shows the
band is more than one-sided with one masterpiece.

We need to talk
The four most
dreaded words in any
relationship
LIZ FULTON
SENIOR WRITER
Spring break has come and
gone, leav-
ing a
trail
of
infi-
conversation with deli-
the dumped. ties in
its wake.
You may
have been able
to escape the
temptation to make
out with the boy in the
hotel room next door, but
others have caught the virus
that visits couples every spring, a
case of owe-need-to-talk-itis.?
Something about that extra
hour of sunshine daylight saving
times brings up and schoolTs end
in sight makes even the most com-
mitted of girls restless. It could be
that they only see the back of their
boyfriendTs head the entire month
of March due to the NCAA tourna-
ment. Possibly, it is the onslaught of
Jeers from their single friends, who
goon manhunts nightly, that finally
gets to them.
oSometimes when a relation-
ship gets boring, you either have
the energy to make it spicy or you
don't,? said Ashley Peele, senior
elementary education major.
Whatever the reason for break-
ing up, feelings will inevitably get
hurt. There are different ways to cut
the cord, and the tactic you pursue
will be, if nothing else, a learning
experience. Just remember that
karma does exist in this universe,
and things have a way of coming
back to haunt you.
That being said, a breakup is
often determined by the nature of
a coupleTs estrangement. If things
between the two of you have been
going from bad to unbearable, then
the only thing left to do is get out
as fast as you can.
You can make a bold statement
by writing oItTs over? in red lip-
stick on his mirror or take Carrie
BradshawTs fate by writing it on a
post-it note. Some people prefer the
text message way, but be warned:
any of these moves are still going
to result in a follow-up conversation
with the dumped.
When fresh air and the loss
of shackles is your goal, then the
classiest route is to be up front and
honest. Do not put it off. Face this
task as Harry Potter would face a
round of dementors.
If airing out feelings and
delivering a list of what went
wrong to your significant other
is as appealing as mustard pan-

BudweiserTs National Breakup
Day June 2.
According to nationalbreak-
upday.com, those rascals from
Budweiser characterize the day as
othe perfect excuse to bail yourself
out of that sinking ship. ItTs a day
where we can all stand undivided
nationwide, and with one voice...
get divided.?
A note of caution to anyone
contemplating ending their rela-
tionships; shacking up with your ex
after too many cocktails is never a
good idea. The key is to establish
enough distance where you both
can move on comfortably and even-
tually joke about your moments in
the sun.

HIS STORY continued from Bl
you begin by alienating the other,
you are only creating problems
for yourself.
oYou think you know some-
body, but when you break up, you
may find out all the bad things
theyTve done. Breaking up is hard,
but things you find out afterwards
may be even harder,? said Chris-
topher Kent, sophomore political
science major.
Love can be a great thing,
especially when it works for
everyone involved. However, when
things do not go as planned, both
parties need to know the steps to
calling it quits. Breaking up is dif-
ferent with every couple, but the
process is always the same"feel-
ings are expressed and a settle-
ment is reached. Parting ways
should not mean an end in your
connection with someone. No one
enjoys losing a friend, so why lose
the one you've been the most close
to at that time in your life?
This writer can be contacted at
pulse@theeastcarolinian.com.
NEON BIBLE continued from Bl
ItTs not that the band has
ditched anything from their
sound, but the two albums play
a lot differently. In some ways,
Neon Bible seems less preachy.
Listening to oKeep the Car
Running? and oAntichrist Tele-
vision Blues,? it really is hard
to believe that these arenTt just
Springsteen covers.
The lyrics on this album really
are reminiscent of Born To Run"
songs that connect with the work-
ing-class and those looking to
escape the everyday life they live
for something better. Structurally,
some of the lyrics seemed a little
forced for the sake of rhyme, but
the strength in Win ButlerTs voice
makes you not even realize it.
Musically, theyTre right on
target, too. An amazingly catchy
rhythm section is the common
thread on all of these songs, and
itTs maybe the most important
instrument here.
Every song is held together
with tight rhythms and even the
subtle, distorted closing oMy Body
is a Cage? manages to hit hard
with the drums, which start out
nearly electronic but end sound-
ing like a militant death march.
Even the albums first
single"often considered by
fans an albumsT worst song due
to its commercial accessibil-
ity"oIntervention? is a good
song, and arguably the best track.
One confusing thing about
this album, however, is the deci-
sion to redo their own song oNo
Cars Go,? which appeared on their
self-titled EP. While the song is an
improvement from the original
incarnation, I donTt know that I
especially like the idea of such a,
creative, young band with a small
catalog re-doing a song of theirs.
While some people may try to
argue that Neon Bible just isnTt up
to par with their full-length debut,
Funeral, donTt believe them.
Neon Bible manages to capture
FuneralTs emotion with catchier
tunes that are rhythmically tight.
Even if youTre not a dancer, this
album will make you want to.
Somewhat surprisingly (to me,
at least), Neon Bible debuted at
number two on the U.S. Billboard
charts. The album sold 92,000
copies in its first week.

The ECU softball team had
ten games in six days starting
on March 6. The Pirates match
ups included games against ACC
competitor Virginia, Conference
USA rival UCF, regional foe
Coastal Carolina, and Akron.
ECU has now improved its record
to 22-8 after winning eight of ten
games and sweeping three differ-
ent teams.
oIt was nice to beat Virginia,
an ACC team, because we lost to
Maryland and North Carolina.
Then we had Central Florida and
nothing beats going 3-0 in confer-
ence. We went down to Coastal
and didnTt have a good showing.
It was our 13th game in 12 days
and it just caught up with us,?
said Associate Head Coach Natalie
Kozlowski.

igh to get a-pitc
In a double-header against Vir-
ginia, ECU finally found its way
against an ACC opponent. The
Pirates rode some clutch pitching
to a 4-3 win in the first game. Keli
Harrell pitched seven innings,
allowing three runs off of four hits.
She added six strikeouts, keeping
her pace of almost one strikeout an
inning over the year.
In the night cap ECU brought
out the bats, crushing Virginia 7-1.
Pitcher Toni Paisley started
the second game fresh off throw-
ing two complete shutout games.
Paisley struck out three batters and
allowed only one run. The Pirates
hitting was impressive, stringing
hits together to put a total of 11 on
base. Jessica Johnson led the way,
going 3-4 at the plate. Freshman
Cristen Aona added a 3-3 clip, and
has been on fire as of late.

respectively. This dominance was
an ideal way to start out confer-
ence play. Harrell recorded 11
strikeouts for the game, leaving
her five away from setting the C-
USA record for career strikeouts,
while Paisley had five strikeouts
of her own.
In the third game in the series
Harrell broke the C-USA record
for career strikeouts (859), racking
up nine strikeouts.
oIt felt pretty good, it was
really exciting. ItTs been a long four
years, and to hit the milestone was
definitely pretty exciting because
my teammates were all there for
me,? said Harrell of her accom-
plishment. The win also brought
the Pirates consecutive win streak
to ten games.
oShe so deserves it, she earned
it and worked so hard for four -
years. She proved sheTs one of the
dominant pitchers in our confer-
ence,? said Kozlowski..oFor her to
take two of three [wins] this week-
end and to get that record at home
was just icing on the cake.? ECUTs
next series was against Coastal
Carolina. The Pirates won only one
of three games, partly because of
tired arms. ECU dropped the first
road contest to Coastal Carolina,
4-3.
After the Chanticleers went up
early, the Pirates made a comeback
bid in the fourth inning. Paige
Baggett and Beth Nolan hit back-
to-back solo home runs for the
first time this season. It was the
second home run in as many days
for Nolan.
Coastal Carolina was not to be
outdone. A one-out RBI single to
center field in the sixth inning off
reliever Toni Paisley (7-2) gave the
Chanticleers the winning run.
The Pirates bounced back
by winning the next game 7-1.

This past basketball season
surely forced many long-standing
Pirate faithful to remember the
heyday of ECU basketball. Pirate
alumni will most likely cite the
teams and players of the late 1980s
and early 1990s in any conversa-

The 1992-93 season was one of.

Pirates are confident
after a big win
JOSEPH MURPHY
STAFF WRITER
The ECU menTs tennis team
has won six matches and lost eight
at this point in the season. Despite
their losing record, the team is
confident and prepared for their
remaining nine regular season
matches.
The Pirates have only played
one match at home thus far, but six
of their remaining matches will be
played in Greenville.
Head Coach Shawn Heinchon
is satisfied with his teams perfor-
mance overall at this point in the
season.
oWe've done about as well as
we could, we've had a little bit of
adversity with some injuries,? said
Heinchon. oThe front part of our
schedule is more difficult than the
back part of our schedule. We're
right where I thought we'd be with
the exception of one bad loss.?
The outlook for-the rest of the
season is positive considering that
the majority of their remaining
matches are at home. The Pirates
defeated The Citadel in their one
home-match thus far, and they are
looking forward to their home
stand to wind down the regular
season. oWe like having the home
crowd out here,? said freshmen
Stephen Whitwell. oItTs a better
atmosphere for us.?
School in nearby Snow Hill. He
was given the nickname because
his sister saw him choke as a baby
and turn blue.
As a freshman in the 1986-
87 season he showed his prolific
scoring ability averaging 14 points
per game. For a 64? guard he
also displayed an uncanny knack
for rebounding, averaging 5.6
per game. What oBlue? lacked in
height, he made up for in athleti-
cism. Throughout his career with .
the Pirates and in the NBA he
was known for his slashing drives
to the basket, aerial artistry, and
jaw-dropping dunks.
But his career took a detour
between his freshman and sopho-
more seasons. Edwards and sev-
eral teammates were found guilty
oItTs the best,? junior Hen-
rique Viana said of playing in
Greenville. oEspecially now that
spring has started so the weather's
a lot nicer. Our first and only home
match we had so many people here,
the feeling and the atmosphere
was amazing. It was a beautiful day
and we had all these people here
watching us. It gave us so much
confidence.?
The Pirates difficult road
schedule affects the team in many
ways.
oItTs really tough,? said Viana,
oIt does influence us a lot because
we donTt have people cheering for
us, we're not used to playing there,
and the weather, the courts, every-
thing. You have to be tough, you
just have to get used to it.?
Over spring break the Pirates
soundly defeated Coastal Carolina
6-1 on the road, who had a 13-2
record going into the match. The
team traveled to Conway, S.C.
three days in advance of the match
to prepare for the Chanticleers,
and the extra preparation paid
off with a resounding victory. oIt
was great, our confidence is as
high as it can be,? said Viana. oWe
beat them at home, the team did a
great job supporting each other,
spring break was a lot better with
a win.
The fact that the team arrived
early to Coastal, which is located
nine miles from Myrtle Beach, and
spent time there was sure to have
had a positive effect on the teams
morale.
a constant
of breaking and entering, and
he was subsequently suspended
for the entire 1987-88 campaign.
Not many college athletes today
would be allowed back in school,
much less back on a sports team
after being convicted of a felony,
but Blue was, and he provided
the Pirates and their fans with an
unforgettable season as a result.
Blue's junior season in 1988-89
was simply incredible statistically.
He averaged 26.7 points per game,
which was sixth best nationally.
His 773 total points, 297 field
goals, and 154 free throws made
are each the most in a single seasonT
in school history, and he also set
a single season school record for
three-point shooting percentage
by connecting on 25 of 51 attempts
oThat gives us confidence,?
said freshman Stephen Whitwell.
oEspecially since we're playing [at
UNC Greensboro] and Sunday [at
home versus College of Charles-
ton]. ItTll give us confidence head-
ing into those matches.?
Whitwell is one of five fresh-
men, along with Sam McSpadden,
Bryan Oakley, Matt Peeler and
Greg Simon who play key roles for
the young and senior-less Pirates
this season.
Heinchon commended the
freshmen for their growth and
improvement so. far this season,
despite their lack of experience
against college level competition.
oAll of the five freshmen
have impressed me greatly,? said
Coach Heinchon. oThey lost some
matches in the beginning, but I
think they had to go through those
growing pains, that experience is
helping us a lot now.?
Sophomore Aleksey Kochetov
is the Pirates standout per-
former.
oAleksey is our top returning
player,? said coach Heinchon. oHeTs
just continued to get better and
better, day in and day out. HeTs
just an animal at the top of our
lineup.?
The team will also receive a
major boost when Viana returns to
the lineup soon. He has a shoulder
injury and will likely miss at least
two more matches.
Coach Heinchon believes that

(49 percent). In addition he aver-
aged seven rebounds and three
assists per game. Blue scored 30 or
more points in 11 games his junior
year, with a career-high 38 coming
against Maryland-Baltimore Co.
Despite the Pirates pedestrian
15-14 overall record and 6-8
record in conference play, Edwards
was named CAA Player of the
Year, making him the only Pirate
to earn conference player of the
year. BlueTs career scoring total of
1,177 is tenth in school history, and
he is in the top 10 in eight other
categories as well.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN ¢ SPORTS
Former ECU fullback TENNIS continues trom as
sions NFL contract
(AP)"Hoping to add a
powerful lead blocker to their
revamped backfield, the New York
Giants signed Houston Texans
three-year veteran fullback Vonta
Leach to a restricted free agent
offer sheet on Monday.
The Texans will have seven
days to match the four-year offer
sheet, which is worth a total of $8
million and includes $1.6 million
in guarantees.
If the Texans match the
offer sheet, they will assume the
terms of the deal that the Giants
negotiated with Leach. If the
Texans decline to match the offer
sheet, Leach will move on to the
Giants.
Because he entered the NFL
as an undrafted free agent in
2004, and Houston made Leach
the lowest qualifying offer for a
restricted free agent, a one-year
deal for $850,000, the Texans will
receive no compensation from the
Giants if they donTt match.
Leach, 25, is a 250-pounder
capable of clearing out linebackers
and carving out holes for tailbacks
running behind him. Heis also an
improving pass protector.
In three NFL seasons, Leach
has yet to register a single rushing
attempt and he has only 11 catches
for 80 yards and one touchdown
in 34 appearances, including 10
starts. His value, though, isnTt
in touching the ball as much
as it is colliding with would-be
tacklers. It is assumed that, if
the Giants acquire him, he will
replace incumbent Jim Finn.
Few teams carry two fullbacks
on their roster and Leach is much
stronger and five years younger
than Finn, a seven-year veteran.
With the retirement of Tiki
Barber at the end of the 2006
season, the Giants will go into
2007 with a new starting tailback,
projected to be two-year veteran
Brandon Jacobs. The Giants also
acquired veteran tailback Reuben
Droughns in a trade with Cleve-
land last week.
Leach entered the league .
with Green Bay in 2004 as an
undrafted free agent. The former
ECU standout played two sea-
sons with the Packers, then was
released last summer and signed
by Houston, where he split time
with Jameel Cook.
The Texans, who value Leach
and covet his toughness, probably
will take the full seven days to
deliberate over the offer sheet.
So far, three restricted free
agents have switched teams
already during the signing period.
One restricted free agent, wide
receiver Wes Welker, was actu-
ally traded from Miami to New
England. Last week, the Cincin-
nati Bengals declined to match a
four-year offer sheet that defen-
sive tackle Shaun Smith signed
with the Cleveland Browns. And
the Dallas Cowboys passed on an
offer sheet that linebacker Ryan
Fowler signed with the Tennes-
see Titans.
Securing the services of
restricted free agents historically
has proven a difficult undertaking
with the current system. In the
14 previous years of free agency,
only 55 restricted free agents
changed teams. Four restricted
free agents changed teams
in 2006.

selected 21st overall by the Utah
Jazz, making him the first and
only Pirate to be picked. During
his ten year career Blue aver-
aged 11 points, three rebounds,
and two assists per game. He
played for the Jazz, the Milwau-
kee Bucks, the Boston Celtics,
the Vancouver Grizzlies, and the
Miami Heat.
He was a member of the 1990
NBA All-Rookie second team
and participated in the 1991 Slam
Dunk Contest. On March 1, 1996
Edwards, as a member of the
Grizzlies, recorded a triple double
with 15 points, 13 rebounds, and
11 assists against the Dallas May-
ericks. It was BlueTs first triple
double and the first in Grizzlies
club history. His last season in
the NBA was in 1999 with the
Miami Heat. After his NBA
Career, Edwards played briefly
in the Greek professional league
before retiring from professional
basketball in the summer of
2001.
EdwardTs junior campaign in
1988-89 is the best in the schoolTs
history when taking into account
the increased level of competition
Blue faced compared to earlier
Pirate standouts like Oliver Mack
and Bobby Hodges. Lester LyonTs
career was more successful and
spanned four years rather than
Just two, however EdwardTs brief
but spectacular career as a Pirate
and his 10 year NBA career prove
that he is the best basketball
player to don the royal purple and
pure gold.
EdwardTs stellar career at
ECU and in the NBA is areminder
of how great a Pirate basketball
player can be. ECU should not
sit back and accept the fact that
it will never be as good as other
basketball programs on otobacco
road?,
If the Pirates are lucky,
another oBlue? Edwards will
come to ECU in the future and
save the faithful from the current
woes of the program. Hopefully
a solid foundation truly is being
built in these years of turmoil
and rebirth.
It was not right for Pirates
fans to expect anything spec-
tacular out of this past season
with only four letter winners
returning, but in seasons to come
expectations will surely grow.
Head Coach Ricky Stokes is
said to have one of the top 40
recruiting classes in the country
coming to ECU next year, and
with signing day around the
corner its easy to forget the tray-
esty of last season.
Hopefully, Stokes will be
able to find a diamond in the
rough among these young men
and shape him into the caliber of
player that oBlue? Edwards was.
Then it will be easy to see
where the osolid foundation? is.

Open Letter to ECU Students
It has come to my attention that we are having difficulty 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, "
