Preliminary budget for the School of Dentistry released
Budget is lower than
expected
KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR
The N.C. House of Represen-
tatives presented a budget for the
School of Dentistry, which allot-
ted funding that was significantly
lower than what the university
hoped to receive.
The budget only reserved $4.5
million for planning, construction,
staff and operational fees for the
next two years.
The university planned to
receive $87 million to cover plan-
ning and constructing the building,
and an additional $1.3 million for
staff and operations.
The budget was addressed by
Steve Ballard, chancellor, in a letter
that is available to the public on the S
Web site ecu.edu/purplealert.
oECU is requesting $87 million
in capital funds as well as operating
dollars, ? Ballard said.
The faculty working directly
with the school does not seem
worried that the budgeting may
alter the plans or scheduling for
the school.
oIf we get all the construction
and operational funding, we Tre still

If the university receives all the funding requested, the School of Dentistry will open as early as 2010.

oThis is just one particular
point in the legislative period, ?

oWe are working on options
for funding that would ensure
that there is no delay in our goal

Greenville for fall of 2010, ? Bal-

institute.
Their donation will be matched
by $667,000 from the UNC sys-

oThis gift from the Smiths will

out East Carolina. It is a great gift, ?

Construction in multiple places on campus
Alternate routes for
buses and students
KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR
The parking lot in front of
Christenbury Gym, the Brewster
Building and Fletcher Music Hall
will not be accessible this summer,
due to construction. :
The construction can be con-
tributed to the steam that has been
commonly seen by the university
community in that area.
oWe're trying to remove the
pipes from the pits to get rid of the
steam plums, ? said Robert Néwell,
steam operation manager.
The steam from the pipes
is a hazard to look at, but cause
environmental hazards if it is not
repaired promptly according to
Newell.
The construction will improve
the steam issue but it poses a prob-
lem for individuals that normally
use those parking spots.
oThe only thing it will affect is
parking for faculty and staff, ? said
Beth Fuller, executive assistant to
the director of School of Music.
Most faculty do not foresee any-
changes in the times or locations of
classes due to the construction.
oWe don Tt have any changes
planned in our schedule, ? Fuller
said. :
Transit buses will have some
changes in the location of bus stops
on campus this summer.
oThat area will not be available
to us the whole summer, ? said Joel
Barefoot, administrative assistant
for ECU Transit. -
oThe construction probably
isn Tt going to be complete until mid
August, ? Newell said.
Bus routes such as The
Exchange [7048], Purple [7018],
University Suites [705S], and
Pirate Ts Cove [5018S] will be stop-
ping in front of Speight instead of
Christenbury as it has in the past.
oMost of them [transit buses]
will be going to the Speight Build-
4 -
ing, ? Barefoot said.
Not all bus routes will be
affected by the closed parking lot
during the summer sessions.
oMinges Park and Ride [610S]
will be hubbing in front of Joyner
Library and will stop in front of
Christenbury as usual, ? Barefoot
said.
Students that ride Minges Park
and Ride will be picked up in front
of Christenbury on the pavement
closest to the road.
The parking lot in front of the Christenbury Gym, the Brewster Building, and Fletcher Music Hall will be closed throughout the summer due to steam pipe repairs.
Other routes such as Blue
[3038S] and Campus Shuttle
[3048] will continue to stop at
the Mendenhall bus stop.
An area of Wright Plaza that
normally has a lot of student traffic
is blocked off due to construction
in that area.
A sewer line that extends from
Wright Plaza to the Graham Build-
ing is being repaired according to
Ricky Hill, associate director of
facility services.
oIt Ts an old line that we Tve been
having trouble with clogging, ? Hill
said. oWe're replacing it using a line
with different material. ?
The project is expected to
be finished in a couple of weeks,
according to Hill.

_ A safety survey conducted at

~ strengthen existing ones.
Michelle Lieberman, director

N She has compiled 10 chapters;
one for each area like parking and

safety at ECU.
The report totals 108 pages and
passes on what the students said in
the survey, which began on April
18, 2007.
Lieberman said that it was not
a response to the shootings at Vir-
ginia Tech.
oWe had been planning to do
this long before what happened
there, ? Lieberman said.
The forty question survey also
gave room for written responses,
and Lieberman is still looking
at those, which totaled around
4,000.
She wants students to know
that this survey will not be some-
thing that they do not hear about
again.
oWe're planning on putting out

To the ECU and Greater Greenville Communities:
As we move through the busyness of ending our spring semester, we wanted
to take a moment and thank all of our students, faculty, administrators and
community members for their support of the 2007 Women of Distinction
Gala: Power & Pearls. East Carolina University was honored to have Dr.
Maya Angelou deliver the keynote address as the Ledonia Wright Cultural
Center and the Chancellor Ts Committee on the Status-of Women recognized
women on our campus that have furthered multiculturalism, equity, women Ts
empowerment and social justice. Paris Kee, an Exercise Physiology senior, did
an outstanding job introducing Dr. Angelou. She represented the approximate
150 students in the audience, as well as all ECU students, exceptionally,
Tt was a wonderful night.
Such an event could not have been delivered without the strong support of
our university and community. The way our students, univetsity, community
organizations and businesses came together to support the evening was
significant, helping to offset the cost of such a tremendous event, and raising
over $24,000. The Ledonia Wright Cultural Center is also fortunate to have
alumni and supporters whose philanthropic gifts contributed another $5,000
to the event. There were several in-kind gifts provided for the evening from
the College of Education, two university departments and programs, and
various businesses, including The Rock Springs Center and Jefferson's Florist.
The logistical and financial needs required to deliver an event with such a
legendary speaker were substantial.
Thank you to all those who gave of their time, talent and treasure to assist
with the success of the 2007 Women of Distinction Gala: Power & Pearls. Dr.
Angelou's message of ofinding and recognizing rainbows in the clouds ? was
both inspirational and personally uplifting. We congratulate the ten honored
Women of Distinction, as well as the recipient of the Dr. Linda Allred Profiles in
Leadership Award. Finally, we want to thank our students, faculty, administrators,
partners, and community members for providing East Carolina and Greenville
for the opportunity to hear Dr. Maya Angelou.
Sincerely,

The procedure that the Senate

this bill is standard for any bill,

oEast Carolina is just doing
such a wonderful job in so many
ways and is so important to this
area, ? Smith continued.
The founding director of the
institute, Dr. W. Randolph Chit-
wood Jr. currently holds the posi-
tion of ECHI chair. His primary
responsibility is to ensure that
income from the endowed chair is
used for research, program devel-
opment and various other needs.
oThese funds will enhance
and promote the mission of the
institute not only in providing
the best clinical care. for cardiac,
vascular and stroke patients but
also in securing our position in
basic science and clinical research,
disease prevention and education, ?
said Chitwood.
oThis gift typifies the heartfelt
nature of the Smiths by improving
the health ofall of our citizens. They
really care deeply, ? Chitwood said.
Chitwood also serves as the
senior associate vice chancellor
for health sciences at ECU as well
as chief of cardiothoracic and vas-
cular surgery in the Department
of Surgery at the Brody School of
Medicine.
His work in cardiac surgery,
specifically robot-assisted heart
surgery and mitral valve repair is
internationally distinguished.
"
Chitwood also helped develop
the da Vinci surgical system, which
he continues to refine through
numerous surgeries. He became
the first surgeon in North America
to perform a total heart valve
repair using robotic technology.
oHe Ts such a dynamic person
and dynamic leader, T Smith said
of Chitwood. oI Tm not sure people
understand the position he holds
in the medical community nation-
ally and internationally. 1 sincerely
doubt this heart institute would
be coming out of the ground if it
weren't for his leadership, ? Smith
continued.
Although this endowed chair
will be the fourteenth at ECU
that. is funded in part through the
UNC system, it willbe the first
of its kind to attain the top level
of funding.
Established in 1985 as a means
for each constituent institutions
throughout the UNC system
to receive and match challenge
grants to create endowed chairs
for selected distinguished profes-
sors, the Distinguished Professors
Endowment Trust Fund matches
grants of $1 in state money for
every $2 in private funds.

She was especially pleased that
the survey covered nearly every

oWe couldn't ask for a better
response, ? Lieberman said.
The initial goal was 2,000
responses, but that was exceeded
within 48 hours of the start of the
survey by more than 400. The final
tally of 3,918 is nearly twice what
Lieberman had hoped for.
She also plans to use the results
as a omyth buster ? of sorts, show-
ing the disparity between what stu-
dents believe and the actual facts.
She used a common complaint
that parking and transportation
officers should spend more time
patrolling the lots and less writ-
ing tickets.
oParking and transportation is
not in the same department as the
police, ? Lieberman said.
The average time to take the
survey was between five and ten

Opinion
The break is over
Summer sessions provide little time off
SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
For those attending summer school this year the break is over. Gone
are the endless summer days filled with dozens of opportunities in which
to spend free time, gone are the nights of partying until the sun comes
up and sleeping until noon. That Ts right, believe it or not some of us
actually have to face the harsh reality that school is back in session.
After a mere 12 days of vacation time students began their trek back
to campus for the start of classes yesterday. :
No matter where one looked around campus solemn faces seemed
to fill the air and it was evident that everyone was dreading the next
four weeks.
For those attending both summer sessions the end is even further
out of sight. As there is no break at all between the first and second
summer sessions. Exams take place on Wednesday, June 20 and classes
start up again on Thursday, June 21.
Students don Tt even have one day off to enjoy the frills of summer
such as an afternoon by the pool or a cookout with friends and family
before they begin plunging into their studies full force.
Sure, some may argue that students in summer session are only
taking a maximum of six credit hours, but with the freedom of summer
also comes the obligation of work. Many students begin working longer
hours in order to earn more money to use throughout the upcoming
year.
For those students who find themselves feeling the daily grind, the:
lack of break between summer sessions may leave students feeling even
more exhausted after summer than they were before.
The only point throughout the summer in which students will truly
find themselves being able to take a break is when the second summer.
session draws to an end on Friday, July 27 before the fall semester begins
on Wednesday, August 22.
Despite the shorter period of time in which students will be enrolled
in classes, the workload is often doubled. An increase in work can often-
times lead to more headaches for students who are trying to carry a full
course load, work full-time and still take time out to have fun.
The lack of a break between summer sessions not only causes stu-
dents to feel more stressed out during a time in which they should be
relaxing, it also keeps many students from visiting family or taking a
much needed vacation from the daily stressors of life.
Maybe those professors teaching second summer session will give
students the break they deserve by assigning minimal coursework to be
done outside of class and offering a number of optional days throughout
the semester, but the more likely reality is that students will have to
suffer through two months of hard work only to get a one month break
before it all starts again in the fall.
The only words of advice I can offer to my fellow Pirates is to enjoy
every free moment of time because the likelihood of receiving the ideal
amount of rest and relaxation may forever be a distant memory from
childhood. One of the disadvantages of growing up is realizing that
there is no such thing as summer vacation.

Horoscopes:
Aries -
Great bounty can be yours, for
work already done. Gather a refund,
collect an old debt or discover hidden
treasure. Make sure to play by the
rules to avoid big trouble.
Taurus
You're very attractive now, as you may
have already noticed. You've won at
least one heart completely. Treat each
admirer with respect.
Gemini
There Ts something that needs to be
done. You can't ignore it any more. It
could be huge, like saving the world.
Or it could be defrosting the fridge.
You decide, and just do it.
Cancer
Friends offer comfort, support and
guidance. They can also help you
avoid a difficult confrontation.
Leo
You think you're tough enough, but are
you, really? You're about to find out,
and so is everyone else. Remember
your training and keep the faith. You
can do it.
Virgo
Atrip with a friend to far distant places
is a wonderful idea. Make solid plans
now. Tomorrow you'll think of all the
reasons why not.
Libra
Better go through your books and find
out how much money you have. Odds
are good you're in for a very pleasant
surprise.
Scorpio :
You do a lot of your communicating
non-verbally. This method works quite
well for you now. Those who need to
know what you need, know.
Sagittarius
Sometimes you have to dig up the
whole yard before you get to plant your
garden. Something like that appears
to be going on at your place. Keep at
it; don Tt give up.
Capricorn
Don Tt knock yourself out with details,
review the big picture. Remember
what it is you want to accomplish,
and why.
Aquarius
Your visions of Utopia need a solid
foundation. This is an excellent time
to work on personal basics. Get your
house in order.

a blanket covering earth, trap-
ping sunlight and therefore
warming the planet. An extreme
example of a greenhouse effect is
the planet Venus. Millions of
years ago Venus experienced
an increase in the levels of
greenhouse gases due to a thick
atmosphere made up of carbon
dioxide, which blanketed the planet
and trapped heat.
Natural factors that influence
global warming include the shape
of Earth Ts orbit around the sun, as
well as sun spots.
In the past, periods of
warming and cooling depended on
the shape of Earth Ts orbit. Accord-
ing to Mallinson, these changes
took place over tens of thou-
sands to hundreds of thousands
of years. The effects of global
warming, while not as exagger-
ated as those seen in the film
The Day After Tomorrow, will
nevertheless be detrimental to
every citizen of the global com-
munity.
The most obvious change is the
rise in sea level which is directly
affected by the rise in global tem-
peratures. :
oWe could see a 1.5 to 2 foot
rise in sea level within the next
100 years, which will ruin many
coastal communities and lead to
a loss in water resources due to
increased salt water intrusion, ?
Mallinson said.
Sea level rise is due in large
part to the melting of the polar ice
sheets, especially that of Green-
land. It is estimated that Green-
land Ts ice sheets are melting at
a rate of 51 cubic kilometers a
year and, according to Dr. Curtis,
if the ice sheets on Greenland
completely melt there could be a 4
foot rise in sea level globally. Sea
level rise will displace millions of
people leaving an enormous
number of refugees.
Globally, other effects would
include warmer days and nights,
extensive droughts and when it does
rain, it will be extremely heavy and
prolonged. Hurricanes, often a hot
topic in the global warming debate,
will be one of the changes
that directly affects NC. Mon-
etarily, the most obvious way
to curb global warming is by
investing in clean, renewable
energy such as hydroelectricity
and wind energy. or by purchasing
a hybrid electric vehicle.
While most college students
aren't wealthy enough to be
in the market for a brand new
hybrid car, there are still sev-
eral things that can be done
that do not cost anything. It is
always best to follow the three
R Ts: recycle, reduce and reuse:
According to Larry West,
free lance environmental
columnist, by just recycling
half of your household waste
you can save up to 2,400 pounds
of carbon dioxide annually.
Other wallet friendly
ways to help with global warm-
ing include driving less, using
less heating and air, turn-
ing off appliances while not in
use, using less hot water, planting
a tree, and encouraging others to
conserve.
In just a few short years,
humanity will be feeling the major
effects of global warming and
our children and grandchildren
will have to live through the
worst of it. It is imperative that
all members of humanity work
to solve the problem immedi-
ately, so that a clean and envi-
ronmentally secure planet can be
realized for future generations. ©

GRADUATION continued from 6
semester as an intern with Commu-
nity Heath Programs working with
pediatric health education. Darden
thought her internship was the last
requirement to finish her degree, but
with just a few weeks left in the semes-
ter an obstacle was thrown in her way.
oAn email was sent to me and my
advisor saying that I was missing one
credit hour. I didn Tt even have time to
ask questions about why they didn Tt
catch it earlier, ? said Darden. To
fulfill this requirement Darden was
required to write a term, paper on
disaster preparedness. Darden admits
she was bothered about how the
requirement seemed to slip through
the cracks, even after she completed
her senior summary with her advisor
almost a year earlier. But she was
calm about the whole ordeal.
oI got an A, ? she said, noting that
the end results were all that mattered;
especially so late in the semester.
Classes are complete. Finals
have been passed. Commemoration,
congratulations and celebrations have
passed. Finally an alumnus.
For all those students who sur-
vived the pressure and completed
the required tasks, commencement
celebrations on May 4 and 5 were
bittersweet. Although the journey at
ECU has come to an end, this ending
is only a new beginning. So, what Ts
next? oNext year I plan on taking the
necessary classes to prepare for the
MCAT (Medical College Admissions
Test) for med school, ? said Darden.
Others who have finished their
educational pursuits are taking a
moment to relax.
oT decided, to take a break between
finishing my Master's degree and
going out into the real world; because
I know I won't get a break like this
again until I retire, ? said Benn.
Now that they are alumni, many
recent grads feel like they have a little
wisdom to give to those who are still
on the journey.
oTalk to other people, and you'll
find out you're not the only one going
through certain issues. Get out and
have fun, but stay focused and do
your work, ? Darden said, who main-
tains that keeping a healthy balance
between your social and academic life
is the way to go.
Graduating from college is a
great achievement that all students
should be proud of. However, being
prepared to take the next step after
graduation is an important tool for all
prospective graduates to remember.

THEATRE continued
General Manager for the theatre.
Coon said he didn Tt realize that
the theatre location was so far from
other businesses, which are gener-
ally located on the other end of
Greenville Bivd., but he believes that
the location will help to attract not
only people who live in Greenville,
but also the surrounding areas.
oTlike that the theatre is away from
all the hustle and bustle of the other
side of Greenville Blvd., ? said senior
music major Arturo Cummings.
oPlus, I live really close to the theatre,
so it Ts great. With the other one, I had
to drive what seemed like forever. ?
Coon wants students to come and
enjoy the new theatre, which will offer
a discount to all students with a valid
student ID.
oI was shocked when I heard that
the other theatre didn Tt offer a student
discount. I think that [a student
discount] is the basic element of the
theatre business. As college students,
you don Tt have a lot of disposable
income to go and see a movie. This
way, students can get away. from
their studies, clubs, organizations,
and other things that they have to
do and see a movie at a discounted
price, ? Coon said.
Greenville Grande also gives a
military discount, which Coon feels is
important for this area of the country.
Both the student and military
discounted ticket prices are $7.00
from 6
per person, which is cheaper than the
Carmike Cinemas, that charge $8.00
per person.
Greenville Grande includes four-
teen auditoriums with stadium seat-
ing, all with reclining seats and huge
screens. Each auditorium varies in
size, with the largest holding-about
300 people, and the smallest holding
about 100 people.
Right now, the management at
the theatre is working on a digital
pre-show for all who attend the the-
atre. This will include commercials,
trivia, and music for moviegoers to
enjoy before their movie.
Although the theatre is only one
month old, they have seen large turn-
outs for movies like Spider Man 3.
Coon and his staff hope that
more people will begin coming to
Greenville Grande, even if it is a bit
ofa drive from the Firetower location
of Carmike Cinemas.
oOnce people know we're open, I
think we will have more of a crowd, ?
Coon said.
With the coming months,
Greenville-Grande will be sharing a
space with other businesses and res-
taurants. Although these new attrac-
tions will not be open for a while, the
Greenville Grande, Greenville Ts new
theatre, is up and open for business.

From The Desk Of Terry Holland
POSTS PASSED ON TO ME BY
GOOD PIRATES FOLLOWING THE
LOSS TO UNC ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT:
oWe will typically make the
regionals but rarely host or win
one. | believe that is the
expectation of the man at THE
top of ECU athletics and you are
already seeing ECU
Athletics moving away from the
Omaha goal. Expectations are
being actively managed
down. When is the last time you
saw any mention of oWe're Goin ?
by ECU? You haven't
for a couple of years and you won't
in the future IMO. ?
oRealistically, the best days of
ECU baseball are behind us IMO
as the BCS money
splashes over into baseball in our
three-state area dominated by
ACC and SEC teams. ?
MY THOUGHTS ON THESE
POSTS:
oOur baseball program has taken
some body blows that would have
felled many lesser programs. The
devastating loss of Coach LeClair
to ALS and the subsequent
immaturity-of our program that
alienated almost every baseball
person in eastern North Carolina
as well as our own players who
were alienated enough to transfer
or leave early for the pros. ?
oThere are no coaches at any
price who could have healed
those wounds as quickly and
effectively as Coach Godwin
and his staff have done, which
is reflected in our current No.
20 national NCAA RPI rank. In
spite of the early loss of talented
players who would have been
juniors and seniors on his first
two teams and against a brutal
schedule, Coach Godwin Ts teams
have remained competitive. AND,
Coach Godwin Ts first recruiting
class has yet to arrive since he
was hired in the fall of 2005 after
this year Ts freshmen were already
committed to the previous head
coach. ? -ECU Athletic Director

ECU extends C-USA
winning streak to
seven
RONNIE WOODWARD
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The ECU baseball team
flexed its muscles this past
weekend, scoring 29 runs and
blasting timely home runs in
a pivotal three-game sweep of
C-USA foe UCF.
Freshman Kyle Roller
recorded two home runs and
nine RBIs on, the weekend,
while junior Corey Kemp pro-
vided a game-winning home
run in game two of the series.
oThey're strong guys and
they were able to square some
balls up, and they came at big
times for us, ? said ECU baseball
Head Coach Billy Godwin after
the Pirates T second consecutive
sweep over a C-USA opponent. -
ECU is now in second place
in C-USA with a 13-7 record,
and is two and a half games
ahead of third-place Memphis
and Houston with Just one con-
ference weekend left to play.
oTo get a sweep at this time
of the year is big, ? said Godwin.
oIt was a good weekend for us
to sweep this series and put us
in a better position in C-USA. ?
Kemp Ts game-winning
blast came after the Pirates
squandered a 7-1 lead in a very ©
unusual way.
Saturday Ts game was sus-
pended in the fifth inning with
ECU in control, leading 7-1.
But fortunes changed quickly
when the game resumed Sunday
morning, as UCF scored two
runs in the fifth and four in the ©
sixth to tie the game at seven.
The Pirates recaptured the
momentum when Kemp led off
the eighth inning with a solo
home run, giving. ECU the
8-7 win.
oT Tve been struggling lately
and that [home run] kind of
got me back into the swing of
things, ? said Kemp. oI Tve been
working with the coaches all
week on staying through the ball
and I got a good pitch to handle
and drove it out of the ballpark. ?
Kemp Ts blast came against
UCF Ts closer Justin Weiss, who
had seven saves, a 4-0 record
and a 1.33 ERA coming into
the weekend.
oHe Ts a sidearm guy and I Tm
pretty sure that it was a slider
that just didn Tt slide too much, ?
Kemp said of the 1-1 offering
from Weiss. oIt kind of stayed
in on me so | stayed through it
enough to get it out of the park. ?
Pirate first baseman Ste-
phen Batts pulled off similar
heroics in the series opener

Batts T got through
the series with an 18-

intact, the fourth
longest in school his-
tory and among the
longest by any player
in C-USA this season.
oI think he Ts gone
