The universtiy is attempting to accomendate the over flow ae new students with housing and parking.
eee 5 standards are the
same but class size increases
Freshmen
enrollment increases
from past years
ALYCIA WENDT
STAFF WRITER
One of the largest freshman
classes was welcomed into ECU T
this year.
An estimate ofat least 4,000
freshmen from orientation are
enrolled, though a definite
count will not be calculated until
after the drop/add deadline.
The freshman enrollment
rate has risen from pervious
years but the standards for
students to be accepted have
remained the same.
Students are reviewed
on their unweighted high
school grade point average,
weighted class rank and SAT
or ACT score.
_ oWe continue to evaluate
the whole student T as part of the
admissions review process, ? said
Rob Lange, associate director of
the Office of Admissions.
The university is build-
ing new facilities and hiring
additional faculty to meet the
demands of the. growing fresh-
man population, according to
senior associate director of
admissions Anthony Britt.
oSeveral faculty members "
have made encouraging observa-
tions to me about the enhanced
diversity of the freshman class
and everyone Ts improved aca-
demic preparation, Britt said.
oI think we have one of the best
freshman classes in the history
of the university. ?
The amount of freshmen
is causing a problem with
students being able to find a
place to park.
There is a list of over 200
students waiting to park in
the D lot. ;
oFortunately, we were ready
with Plan B. T We have given
freshman temporary park-
ing permits for the C-zone
that are good through the end
of September, so their park-
ing needs have been met, ?
said Bill Koch of Environ-
mental Safety and Campus
Parking and Transportation.
Anyone with less than 25
credit hours is generally only
allowed to park in the D lot.
However, the Campus Park-
ing and Transportation has
decided to lower the credit hour
requirement for students to be
able to park in available spaces
in the A2-zone on College Hill
and the B2-zone in the Reade
Street lots.
oWe are working with the
Registrar Ts office to identify
the D-permit holders and the
freshmen on the waiting list
that meet the new credit hour
requirement, ? Koch said.
oAs we identify these indi-
viduals, we are contacting them
and offering them the chance
to upgrade to the B2 or A@ lot
based on their dorm location. ?
The Campus Parking and
Transportation office expects
this process to be completed
_by the end of the week and
all freshmen to be accommo-
dated in the A2, B2 or D lot,
according to Koch.
There were also problems
with having dorm rooms avail-
able for freshmen.
There is no definite number
of how many students are in the
dorms this year, but it is higher
than in past years.
There are no male spaces
left in the dorms and they
are not taking new male con-
tracts at this time, according to
Aaron Lucier, director of oper-
ations/associate director of
Campus Living.
There are also some first-
year students living in upper-
division housing spaces, nor-
mally reserved for returning
students, who will be offered
spaces in the dorms as they
become available.
This year, Belk Hall-has no
air conditioning and only offers
single dorm rooms. i
Next year, there will be air
conditioning and the dorm will
offer double occupancy for more
available space.
oWhile we may grow, ECU
will always be committed to
omaking certain that all of
its students receive a first-
class university education, ?
Britt said. sy
oIT guess you could say we
have some growing pains, T but
East Carolina is a university on
the move and it Ts exhilarating to
be a part of that growth. ?

Vick Ts legal
WOES
Is he just a victim of racial
profiling?
JASON PATTY
OPINION WRITER
Michael Vick has pled guilty to a federal dog fighting
conspiracy charge. He has issued a halfhearted apology
because what he did was overy immature. ? He has also
found Jesus in record time. Mr. Vick, what you did was
well beyond overy immature. ?
I am certainly no supporter of PETA, but they have
hit the nail on the head this time. I had to turn the videos
that they collected off when they aired on TV because I was
sick tomy stomach. The things that Vick funded, allowed
to happen at his house, and worst ofall, participated in, are
downright stomach-turning.
However, what is most frustrating and infuriat-
ing is the NAACP Ts support of Vick and their claim
that his treatment by the media is because he is black.
Are they kidding? Oneof the most high-profile fig-
ures in the NF Lis constantly in trouble with the law,
is caught with an extensive dog fighting operation
on his property (including devices for electrocution
and rape so that he could breed dogs that would kill
each other if not restrained), admits his guilt, and
the NAACP has the gall to announce that he is being
treated unfairly because he is black.
Michael Vick is not being mistreated because of
his race, he is. being attacked by the media and most
of the general public because of his direct role in a
disgusting activity that conflicts with any decent
person Ts basic humanity. If Tom Brady or Matt Lein-
art had been involved in the same sort of horrible
activities, they would be equally vilified for it.
R.L. White, the president of the Atlanta chapter
of the NAACP, said that o. . in terms of people Ts judg-
ment of his guilt, that Ts essentially racial profiling.
He Ts been completely vilified. ? Mr. White, you are
correct that Michael Vick has been vilified by the
media, but it isn Tt because of the color of his skin, it
is because of his absolute lack of basic humanity.

Back to
school...again
Or take it from the old guy
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER
You-know how nearly every class has that one creepy
old guy that all the girls are scared ofand all the guys just
wonder why he Ts there in the first place? Hi, kids!
This semester marks my triumphant return to
ECU. I last walked the hallowed halls of Brewster
nine years ago in pursuit of a history degree. How-
ever, a series of poor choices, bad decisions and out-
right laziness allowed it to slip through my fingers.
I'm very fortunate that I have been able to come back
and become that old guy I made fun of so long ago ...and
T that you all make fin ofnow. Don't worry, ladies, I'm really
harmless; just a sad teddy bear (Le., afraid of my wife).
A few things have changed since my first tour of
duty at ECU. I still have to park 40 miles away at the
football stadium, but, if memory serves, those hunt-
ing licenses we have to purchase in order to be able
to park at the stadium are about $20 cheaper now.
I never had a professor nine years ago who didn Tt
think their class was the only one a student had, so they
felt free to require 10 or 12 different books, expecting
us to read them all, but knowing we wouldn Tt. Those
overpriced books I'll never use again are even more
overpriced now, but somewhere along the way our
professors opened their eyes and took pity, and now I
only have one class with more than three books.
A word about those books, ladies and gentlemen:
no one Ts going to hold a gun to your head and make
you go broke at the bookstore. There Ts this nifty
invention called Amazon.com, and there are kind
professors out there who will provide you with a
list of texts if you just ask nicely. I didn Tt purchase a
single book at the Student Stores, and I saved $85.
That may not sound like much in the grand scheme
of things, but it Ts two tanks of gas I don Tt have to
worry about, or dinner at Outback with the wife and
a lot of Jack and Cokes.
Speaking of the Student Stores, something I Tve
noticed now that I've grown older and fatter is that the
distance between there and Brewster has grown by about
ahalfa mile. I guess I'll be buying blue books in bulk.
The bus ride from the stadium to Brewster hasn Tt
changed much, although I seem to recall the air condi-
tioners on the buses actually working nine years ago
before the onset of global warming. I was not surprised
in the least however, when, on my first day back on
the bus, a kid with what Jerry Seinfeld referred to as
B.B.O. sat down next to me despite numerous empty
seats all around us. 105-degree weather, no A/C and
funky armpits a pleasant bus ride do not make.
One thing that has changed is me. When I was at
ECU the first time around, a lot of my current classmates
were only eight years old. I had my chance and I blew
it. I gave up on my dream of ever becoming a history
professor who only assigns two books and for nine years
I worked a dead-end job I hated with no future in sight.
Now I've gotten a second chance, but at what cost?
Nine years of my life and thousands of dollars I can Tt
afford (and without the benefit of financial aid).
Young people, make fun of the old guy all you want
to, but pay attention to your professors too. Ask ques-
tions. Read every word of those overpriced books. Don Tt
start writing your papers at 4:00 in the morning on the
day it Ts due at 8:00 (been there, done that). Don Tt screw
up like I did. I'm lucky. Not everyone may be fortunate
enough to get the second chance I did.
Stick with it. Do your best. If you ever ride the bus
with me, have the decency to put on some deodorant.

Reality is scripted "
Real reality is just too boring
JESSICA DUNLOW
_ OPINION WRITER
Reality is not reality anymore. The Real
World, Newport Harbor, the late Laguna Beach...
it is all crap. There is no substance to it other
than just watching the participating ocharacters ?
do-un-realistic things.
The kids never seem to go to school or work
(save Stephen from the original Laguna Beach);
they live in impossibly posh pads, and have no
responsibilities except to party as often and as
fashionably as possible. If everyone Ts oreality ? were
like this, the world would certainly be more fun,
but would be entirely slack and full of chaos.
Every show seems to have the same character
make-up. Espetially the always-present love
triangle between a blonde girl, her boyfriend,and
the secretly seductive brown-haired boy and they
ohook-up ? behind the boyfriend Ts back.and so.on
and there is a lot of whining.
I guess it is impossible to portray REAL real-
ity because frankly, it is boring. I am not going to
lie; I have thought (just like everyone else who has
possibly watched these television shows) that ifa
camera followed me around it would be completely
interesting and everyone in the world would what
to know what was going on with my friends and
me. NOT TRUE.
No one wants to watch us go and sit in
class, take notes, walk or ride to our respective
residences and do homework and write papers (or
articles, for that matter). The kids from Laguna
eventually admitted that the producers led the
storylines by feeding lines and ideas to the cast
members. Which is weird: why bother calling it
reality in the first place? If these kids were that
boring to have to make up problems and lines, why.
were they signed in the first place? Bring reality
television to ECU and I am sure we would attract -
a lot of fans.
So I say, if you are going to fabricate reality,
T at least do it well and give them superpowers or
something (Heroes), or, you know, let them break
out into song and dance randomly (High School
Musical). Then it would be interesting.

Time to leave the
blues T at home
Seeing red on campus
JOHN CARRERE
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
With a brand new semester ahead of us
and a new. season for Pirate athletics on the
horizon, it is necessary to address a growing
problem on our campus. It is a problem that
has been discussed and debated fiercely at our
school, and it is time for us as students of this
university to take a stand.
As a student body, it is time to start leaving
the t-shirts and hats of all other universities
off our campus and outside of our classrooms.
It may be silly for you to think that wearing a
certain shade of blue or red promoting another
school would be harmful, but you Tre making a
statement of irresponsibility.
In the past. 100 years, ECU has fought
to make its mark in this state. Believe it or
not, when you wear that ofavorite ? piece of
clothing, you Tre supporting schools that never
wanted ECU to exist in the first place. Let us
not forget those individuals who spearheaded
the assembly that wanted to refuse East
Carolina College university status or fought
against us having a dental school.
Our founders didn Tt fight diligently to gain
our university status just to have its student
body wear apparel promoting other schools.
Yes, your great-great grandparent may have
given an endowment to UNC or your father
may have laid the bricks at State, but you area
student standing in T Pirate Country. It is time
to start acting like it. When you wear those
schools on campus, you're saying it is alright
for them to look down on us and see that we Tre
too scared to get behind our own school. Do
you think their students wear purple and gold
pirates on their campuses?
The next time you think of spending $20
on a shirt or hat representing another school,
just remind yourself that you may be helping
them buy one more basketball for practice, one
more computer for learning or one more brick
for building. If we are to be taken seriously
by our neighbors to the west, it is time for
us to start wearing our colors a little more
proudly. :
Our traditions here at ECU are proud
and numerous and should be respected and
honored. To believe otherwise is a contradic-
tion and a slap in the face of those who have
worked so hard to build this university into
what it is today.
It Ts easy to be a fair-weather Pirate when
the sailing is easy and the treasure is close,
but a ship divided cannot float. It is important
now more than ever, as a student body, to help
direct this university into the next 100 years,
both academically and athletically.
As the greatest band of pirates in history,
itis up to us to decide how history remembers
us. As students of the Centennial class of
East Carolina, do we want to be remembered
for flying the banners of other schools in the
heart of Pirate Nation? On the other hand,
do we want to be remembered as Pirates who
bore the traditional royal purple and old gold
with pride and honor?
From now on, when you pull that East
Carolina shirt over your head, remember that
you're wearing the name of an idea and a vision
that started over 100 years ago. When you put
on your hat, know that there are those who
have fought for you to wear. those colors.
When you set foot on our beautiful campus,
remember that you-are the embodiment of a
plan and a dream set in motion by a group of
noble educators long ago. If you have yet to be
properly welcomed, it would be my proud plea-
gure. Welcome to ECU, home of the Pirates.

The fastest growing crime in America
It could happen to you
ERIN EDWARDS
STAFF WRITER
It Ts a scenario that can
happen to anyone. You are
missing a few bills or state-_
ments over a period of time,
or a collection agency calls
you in regards to accounts
or charges you know you are
not responsible for. Then you
began to notice withdrawals
or transfers you did not make,
and you are turned down after
applying for credit when you
should be financially quali-
fied. Any one of these circum-
stances can be an indication of
identity theft.
No matter what age, race or
gender, anyone can be a victim
of identity theft.
According to United States
Social Security, identity theft
is defined as a criminal using
another person Ts personal
information to take on that
person Ts identity. While fed-
eral and state governments
have passed numerous laws to
take action against this crime,
any person can be at risk.
Identity theft is the fastest
growing crime in America,
claiming 900,000 new victims
annually. Among those at
risk are college students and
young adults. Half of college
students across the nation
usually receive daily or weekly
credit card applications, of
which many discard without
fully destroying them. And
many students use their social
security number, especially on
campus, without thinking of
the consequences.

East Carolina University is
taking extra steps to ensure
that a student Ts identity is not
put in jeopardy. The system
is a technology-based solu-
tion designed to streamline
administrative processes and
improve self-service appli-
cations. With Banner, each
student is given an identifica-
tion number, usually starting
with B. This new ID system
is intended to replace the use
of a student Ts social security
number, thus lowering the risk
of identity theft.
oIn situations where an
identification number is
needed, never give out your
social security number, but
always ask to use another
number instead, ? said Kimber
Walker, an independent asso-
ciate for Pre Paid Legal Ser-
vices, Inc., a company that
provides legal services to fam-
ilies in North Carolina. The
business runs under Kroll,
the world Ts leading risk man-
agement company,, provid-
ing full-service restoration
for victims of identity theft.
Walker believes that it is only
a matter of time before people
will be affected by identity
theft, citing that even when
someone supplies just a debit
card number, they are put-
ting themselves in jeopardy.
oMany criminals use
others T identity because most
of them have bad credit as well.
That is why it is extremely
important not to carry around.
sensitive documents, including
social security cards and birth
certificates, ? Walker said.
Anyone can be.a victim
of identity theft. According
to a survey conducted by the
Federal Trade Commission
in 2003, nearly 10 million
people in the United States
have their identities stolen.
This number had tripled from
two years before. In North
Carolina alone, the number of
reported cases jumped 3 and
one half times between 2001
and 2005. While one cannot
prevent identity theft wholly,
they can take precautionary

How do you go about get-
ting tested for HIV at ECUP
To get tested for HIV here
at ECU please call 252-328-
6841 to make an appointment
to have the test conducted free
of charge! We currently offer
the HIV test that is taken by
giving blood at our lab, and
the results take 2-3 weeks. The
students will receive both pre
and post counseling to students
who are tested. In order to
get their results read, students
must make an appointment
here at Student Health Ser-
vices. Within the next couple
of months students will be able
to get a rapid HIV test that will
. allow them to get their results
within an hour.
What about testing for
other STDs?
Testing for other STIs is
available here at Student Health.
The prices vary depending on
the STI and the test needed.
Suppose a student sus-
pects they have an STD, how
do they go about getting
tested? Treated?
If a student suspects they
-have an STT, all they have to
do is call 252-328-6841 to make
an appointment with a provider.
We have both male and female
providers available to students
for treatment. If the student
tests positive for an STI, the
provider will discuss with them
treatment options available
and if applicable, write them a
prescription, which they can get
filled through our on-site Phar-
macy. Ifnecessary, the provider
. will refer the student to the
Health Educator for further
discussion on risks and contra-
ceptive methods they can use to
help prevent further infection.
What preventative mea-
sures can students take to
protect against contracting
an STD?
As many students know,
there is only ONE 100% effec-
tive method in preventing con-
tracting an STI and that Ts
abstinence. Other measures
that should be taken are:
1. Using condoms during
vaginal and anal sex and
2. Using dental dams during
oral sex.
Oftentimes students forget
that STIs can be. transmitted
via oral sex through skin-to-
skin contact. Herpes and HPV
are two examples of STIs that
are spread sexually through
skin-to-skin. For example, if
one mate has Herpes on their
lip and gives the other mate oral
sex, their partner could then
develop Genital herpes.
Are there informational
sessions at ECU pertaining
to STDs?
Throughout the year, Stu-
dent Health and Campus Rec-
reation and Wellness (CRW)
will host programs or events
that educate students.on STIs.
Student Health Service will
offer a free Chlamydia/Gonor-
rhea urine test from September
17°. " October 12" as part of
the GUESS WHO TS GOT
IT? campaign. CRW will host
Sexual Responsibility Week
inthe spring, Health 1000
teachers teach an STI section
as part of their curriculum and
there is a Sexual Health class
offered to students through the
Health Education & Promo-
tion Department on campus.
What other interesting
information do you have about
STIs or STDs?
eEach year, there are 9
million new STI cases in the
U.S. in people under the age
of 25
eTwo-thirds of individu-
als with an STI are under the T
age of 25
*HPV is the most
common STI on college
campuses
eChlamydia is the 2nd
most common STI on college
campuses :
eHerpes is the 3rd most
common STI on college cam-
puses
eNo symptoms is the
most common symptom of
an STI
eSome STIs are treat-
able and curable and some
are not
eLess than half of adults
ages 18-44 have been tested
for an STI, other than HIV/
AIDS
eHaving an STI is not a
moral issue. Don't let shame
or embarrassment get in the
way of getting treatment
ePreventing most STIs
is a lot easier than treating
most STIs

steps.in order to increase
their protection from identity
theft.
With reported cases climbing
annually, reducing the risk of fraud
is important.
Start with reducing the
number of credit and debit cards
that you carry around in your
wallet. If they are ever lost
or stolen, immediately cancel
them and report fraud on your
credit repor'ts.
Ifanything appears suspicious
regarding your financial accounts,
immediately contact the proper
authorities to ensure that it does
not continue.
Never give out your social
security number over the phone,
by mail or over the Internet.
Don Tt be fooled with contests
or claims that you are a winner,
especially if they ask for deeply
personal information. These
are scams that are easy to fall
for, and once you fall, the con-
sequences are massive.
The average victim spends
over $1,180 and 60 hours attempt-
ing to repair the reparations. But
money and time are not the only
issues identity-theft victims face.
Countless people suffer from other T
consequences, including being
denied credit, legal woes, harassment
from creditors to pay bills that are
not theirs and even being arrested
for crimes they did not commit. The,
consequences are great, and so is
the importance of reducing au
individual risk.
Inthe blink ofan eye, one Ts ice
tity can Tbe stolen, but it can take a
lifetime to build it back up again.

SPORTS EDITOR
It is a. day not soon to be
forgotten by those in Blacks-
burg, Va. On that fateful day,
April 16, 2007, 32 Virginia Tech
students were gunned down by
one disturbed soul, while many
others were injured and scarred
for life.
September 1, 2007 is also a
day that will be remembered, as a
time for healing and forgiveness,
faith and sorrow and, of course,
all-day tailgating and smash-
mouth football.
In a.scene unlike any other
college football pregame party,
ECU fans were invited, with
open arms, to join the Hokie
tailgating.
Trucks and cars around the
stadium donned window paint
thanking the Pirates for their
support and even in the stadium
this sentiment was echoed.
As part of Virginia Tech Ts
pregame ceremonies, ECU Chan-
cellor Steve Ballard, as well as
Director of Athletics Terry Hol#
land, presented a $100,00 check
to the Hokie Spirit Memorial
Fund to Virginia Tech Presi-
dent Dr. Charles Steger at the
50-yard-line. At the conclusion
of the presentation two Virginia
Tech cheerleaders held up a sign
towards the fans at one end of
the stadium that read oThank
you ?, while two cheerleaders on
the opposite endof the field held
up a sign to the stands that read
oPirates ?. The crowd quickly
joined in the chant, and by the
end the stadium was so loud, the -
sentiments could echo all the way
to Greenville.
A tribute video to the victims
and heroes of April 16, 2007
was also shown.during the cer-
emonies. Fans throughout the
stadium could be seen drying
their eyes, as images of candle
vigils, injured victims and memo-
rial collages. flashed across the .
scoreboard screen. The stadium
was completely sober and silent
for the minute and 40 seconds
that the tribute ran, while oWalk
Humbly Son ? by Eddie from Ohio
gave the soundtrack to the emo-
tional event. Julie Murphy-Wells,
the lead singer of Eddie from
Ohio, is a Virginia Tech alumnus,
and no other song could have fit
so well with the tribute.
After 32 orange and maroon
balloons were released from
the field, each one symbolizing
a victim of the tragedy, the
teams were ready to play some
football.
Even this tradition was
altered, as usually the visiting
team takes the field first. On
this special occasion, in a symbol
of equality, both squads took
the field at the same time while
oEnter Sandman T, the electrify-
ing Metallica classic, roared
throughout the stadium.
Throughout the game. there
were no jeers for the Pirates and
a newfound respect was apparent
between the two schools.
ECU football Head Coach
Skip Holtz may have encapsulated
the emotion of the day best.
oIt was an honor for us to
have the opportunity and come
up here and play in such an
emotional environment. for the
Virginia Tech family, ? he said. oI
really thought this was a special
day and it was neat for us to be
a part of it. ?

Pirates look to beat UNC for first
KEYS 10
THE GAME
1. Make the Pirates throw the ball -
ECU passed for 119 yards against Virginia
Tech last Saturday. Patrick Pinkney and
Dwayne Harris were both effective in run-
ning the ball from the quarterback position,
but the Pirates T longest pass completion
was 17 yards and they only took a couple of
shots downfield in the passing game. The
Tar Heels need to load the box and stuff
ECU Ts rushing attack, forcing Pinkney and
the Pirate receivers to beat them.
2. Get big plays from the wide re-
ceiver position
The Tar Heels T offense is led by its talented
and athletic wide receivers. Sophomore Ha-
keem Nicks was a freshman All-American
last season. Quarterback TJ. Yates also
has tall receivers in Brooks Foster, Bran-
don Tate, Kenton Thornton and Greg Little
to throw to. ECU Ts inexperienced secondary
blew some coverages last week, something
that UNC needs to exploit again this week.
3. Win the battle at the line of
scrimmage
ECU dominated Virginia Tech on the offensive
and defensive line, out-gaining the Hokies by 109
rushing yards last Saturday. UNC Ts offensive line
will have to protect Yates and its defensive line
needs to penetrate ECU's offensive line and try to
disrupt the Pirates T rushing attack.

time in 32 years
UNC will be making its second trip to Greenville
JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
After a stellar performance last weekend, despite the loss to Virginia
Tech, a feeling has spread around Greenville that this could be an exceptional
football season in the making.
But first, ECU will have to beat a bitter rival in North Carolina. The
Pirates haven't played the Tar Heels since a 28-17 loss in UNC's first trip "
to Greenville in 2003.
The Pirates (0-1) haven't beat the Tar Heels (1-0) since 1975 and UNC
holds an 8-1-1 advantage in the series.
oThis is obviously a great rivalry game for our fans, ? said ECU coach
Skip Holtz. oI hope they [ECU fans] manage themselves with the same
amount of class that we just experienced at the Virginia Tech game ... you
can be fierce rivals on the field but ue can also play with excitement, emo-
tion and sportsmanship.
oThat being said, it is still a rivalry for the East Carolina family. We are
1-8-1 in our only 10 games with [the Tar Heels] and we have lost those by
an average score of 35-10. Many of our players have played with kids on the
North Carolina team and we know it will be a great challenge. ?
Last weekend, the Tar Heels defeated bow] subdivision opponent James
Madison 37-14, as freshman quarterback T.J. Yates went 13-of-18 for 218
yards and three touchdowns. The game marked the beginning of the Butch
Davis era in Chapel Hill and drew a crowd of over 58,000.
While Holtz has no game experience against the Tar Heels, Davis has
coached against the Pirates twice and it wasn Tt pleasant to say the least.
Davis holds an 0-2 record against ECU, with both losses happening when
he was coaching at the University of Miami. His 12"-ranked Hurricanes
were beat convincingly, 31-6, in the Orange Bowl in 1996. In 1999 his Miami
team blew a 20-point lead and lost to ECU, 27-23, in a game that was played
at Carter-Finley stadium in Raleigh due to Hurricane Floyd.
oEast Carolina is a very difficult place to go and. play, ? Davis told the
Assoicated Press Monday. oIt is loud. It is enthusiastic. Their fans do a
great job getting behind their football team, and that obviously will add
an additional challenge to a young team " being able to handle crowd noise
and going on the road. ?
While ECU played three quarterbacks against Virginia Tech, junior
Patrick Pinkney stood out, going 14-of-265 for 115 yards and adding 48
rushing yards.
According to Holtz, there was no controversy in selecting the starting
quarterback against the Tar Heels.
oRight now this is Patrick Pinkey Ts job and he deserves it, ? said Holtz. oI
was impressed with the way he played and protected the ball. He managed
the game well, he gave a spark of enthusiasm to our offense and I think that
is what our young football team needs right now. When [Kass] made the
decision he did, he gave up the spot and LE ey | did a nice job of step-
ping up and taking it. ?
They're are certain aspects of the Tar Heel Ts offense that concern Holtz
going into Saturday.
oThe thing that scares me the most about them right now is their skill
players, ? he said. oThey have some wide receivers that have big play potential
and their quarterback has a rope for an arm. They throw the deep ball well
and what concerns me are the uncontested deep balls we gave up against
_ Virginia Tech, knowing that is one of [UNC's] strengths. ?
The Tar Heels deep core of talented receivers is led by sophomore
Hakeem Nicks, who earned freshman All-American honors after a stellar
season last year. Junior Brooks Foster and wide receiver/kick returner
Brandon Tate also provide explosiveness to the UNC offense.
oSome of their [UNC's] better athletes are the wide receivers, so we'll
have to come in focused and try to put a stop to those guys, ? said the Pirates T
starting strong safety Van Eskridge.
UNC's defense is experienced, and Holtz expects the Pirates to face many
of the same defensive strategies that they faced against VT.
oThey are strong up the middle and their defensive front is their
strength, ? said Holtz. oWe saw this at Virginia Tech. I think their linebackers
have an awful lot of experience. They are intelligent and smart and I think
their safeties are very good football players. ?
One Pirate who should be familiar with the UNC defense is junior defen-
sive tackle Khalif Mitchell, who played for the Tar Heels for two seasons.
Mitchell made one of the most famous plays in UNC football history when
he sealed the win for the Tar Heels after causing N.C. State running back
T.A. McClendon to fumble on the goal line as time expired in a thrilling
2005 game in Chapel Hill.
Mitchell has waited for over a year now to get a crack at his former team
and now that the time is here, he is not shying away.
_ oWhen we get this win in Dowdy-Ficklen it Ts going to be great, ? he
said. oThese fans are going to go crazy and it is bragging rights for them
and they deserve it. ?
Mitchell Ts words undoubtedly echo a sense of confidence going into one
of the biggest games in recent ECU football memory.
And if the Pirates record a victory Saturday, most will tell you this one
has been 32 years in the making.

better teams on the east coast and in the
KEYS TO
THE GAME:
1.Get the offense going early
lf ECU is going to beat the Tar Heels for the
first time in 32 years, the offense must come
out of the gate swinging. The Pirates cannot
come out and go three and out during the
first few possessions. Starting quarterback
Patrick Pinkney must do a good job of man-
aging the game to set ECU up with scoring
opportunities early.
2.Don Tt allow the deen ball
Against Virginia Tech, the Pirates gave up some
uncontested deep balls. You can bet Butch Davis
knows this and will look deep to Hakeem Nicks
and Brooks Foster early and often. If the Pirates
are determined to stop the Tar Heels then their
corners must play well or it could make for a
long day in Dowdy-Ficklen.
3.The Crowd
In college football the crowd is one of the
most important parts of the game. ECU must

GREG KATSKI
SPORTS EDITOR
In a game that was as emo-
| tionally charged as the pregame
fe & ceremonies leading up to it, the
Hokies.were able to capitalize on
one huge mistake of the Pirates.
On 2nd-and-10 from his
own 2-yard line, sophomore
quarterback Brett Clay threw a
pass well short of wide receiver
Jamar Bryant, who was running
a go-route. The errant pass fell
right into the palms of Virginia
Tech defensive back Victor
Harris, who scampered down
the sideline and dove across the
hash mark for a touchdown with
about three minutes remaining
in the first half.
After the game, ECU coach
Skip Holtz defended his play
calling decision.
oWe were backed up, we
tried to run a fullback belly on
first down and got about half a
yard so I said, oHeck, let Ts take a
chance T, ? Holtz said. oWe maxi-
mum protected it; we kept both
backs in, we kept both tight ends
in and ran Jamar Bryant on a
fly pattern. My thought was we
would get a one-on-one jump
ball or if they ran a turn and roll
coverage toward him and double
team him, we throw it high and
outside and it Ts incomplete and
it Ts third down. ?
ECU outperformed the
Hokies for most of the first
half, holding a 7-3 lead deep
into the second quarter. The
Pirates were efficient on offense
and dominating on defense, but
it was Virginia Tech Ts special
teams that shifted the momen-
tum of the game with a play of
pure oBeamer Ball. ?
After the Hokies failed to
move the ball with exceptional
field position, Virginia Tech-
coach Frank Beamer opted to
punt. Punter Brent Bowden, log-
ging his first collegiate playing
time, lifted a punt well into the

STAFF WRITER
The ECU women Ts volley-
ball team started off the season
at the Duke Invitational. Over
two days in Durham, the Pirates
played against host Duke, as well
as national powerhouses Purdue
and Winthrop. The Pirates lost
the first two matches, but beat
Winthrop, 3-1.
On Tuesday, August 28,
ECU played UNC Greensboro
in Minges Coliseum. A large
crowd of excited fans gathered
to watch the Pirates take on the
Spartans.
The first match went well,
as ECU held the lead through-
out. The Pirates played strong,
_blocking numerous Spartan
attempts. Senior Kelley. Wernert
helped keep the Pirates in the
lead with kill after kill, tallying
six for the first game.
.The Pirates continued
strong as senior Mignon Dube-
nion and sophomore Stephanie
Turner executed a double quick
hit to score again for ECU.
Sophomore Melissa Zentner
spiked another point for ECU |
and Turner continued the streak
with her first ace of the game.
Still in serving position,
Turner persisted with another
ace. Dubenion finished out the
first game with a 30-24 win.
After a short break and a
quick hustle with ECU women Ts
volleyball Head Coach Chris
Rushing, the Pirates were back
to serve-up another battalion
of points to the Spartans in
the second game of the match.
The Spartans managed to score
the first point of the game, but
Zentner quickly spiked a point,
reminding UNC-G that the
Pirates were still going to put
up a strong fight.
Junior Trish Monroe
blocked the Spartans T attempts
to gain the lead with an impres-
sive series of digs. However,
the Spartans came back in the
second game with a desire
to win and caught up to the
Pirates, 13-13. Zentner and
Wernert sustained the Pirate Ts.
powerful offensive attack with
four kills each, as well as an ace
from Wernert, to give ECU the
second game 30-20.
The third game gave way to
amomentum swing, as UNC-G
came back with a strong lead
from the onset. During ECU Ts
first timeout of the match, the
Spartans lead, 10-4. Wernert
tried to pull the Pirates ahead
with seven kills during the
game, but the effort proved to
be insufficient as the Spartans
took the third game 30-18.
After the scare, ECU came
back with some persistent offen-
sive power. ECU struggled early
in the fourth game, but with the
Pirates unrelenting offensive
firepower from Zentner, as well

as ten kills and digs from Koop
and Dubenion, they won the
game 30-24.
Turner had an extremely
good match against UNC
Greensboro and broke her own
personal record with five aces.
oI thought we came out
strong in the first two games
and in the locker room coach
said it Ts not over until it Ts over T, ?
Turner commented.
Rushing, who agreed with
Turner, said, oEverything was
going on according to plan and
what we were working on but
then we went to the break; we
were really flat when we came
back out. ?
oMost of our team is fresh-
men and sophomores and with a
young team they think that after
the first two games we've won,
but we have to come back strong
because they are going to come
back strong as well. We want to
get a lot better in defense. ?
After a tough showing in
the Tribe Classic at William
& Mary that saw ECU go 0-3,
the Pirates bounced back with
a convincing win at Campbell, ;
3-1. With the victory ECU has
brought it Ts season to a 3-5
record and will compete in the
Marriott Courtyard Volley-
ball Challenge this weekend at
N.C. State. Turner stressed the
importance of every play and
said, oThe road is just like home;
we just have to stay focused. ?
