Educational events oftere
onstitution
Aimed to educate students
about U.S. history
ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER
ECU celebrated the Third
Annual Constitution Day with a
birthday party, guest speaker and
several exhibits on campus.
Constitution Day is a program
required by the U.S. government
for all educational institutions that
receive federal funding. Recognition
of the day began at.ECU in 2005.
Senator Robert Byrd of West
Virginia proposed this legisla-
tion after he learned in a national
poll that people in the U.S.
knew more about American Idol
than the Constitution.
oConstitution Day was set
up to educate people about the
Constitution and the rights that it
gives them, ? said Laura Amerson,
graduate assistant in the office of
co-curricular programs and cul-
tural outreach.
oEverything in the Constitu-9
tion affects students daily whether &
they realize it or not. It Ts important =}
for students to learn about their 3}
government and how it functions 8
because one day they will be the
leaders of the U.S. ?
To celebrate Constitution Day,
ECU Student Affairs hosted a
birthday party in the Mendenhall
Student Center (MSC).
The party was held in
the Multipurpose Room and
offered cake, drinks and party
favors to students.
As part of America Reads, a
program that encourages people to
read the Constitution, party- goers
were given the opportunity to hear
readings from the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights.
At 2 p.m., students attending
the party joined Colin Powell in the
annual nationwide broadcast of the
Preamble to the Constitution.

Ashley Yopp, speaker of the congress, and Keri Brockett, SGA president, speak
about the Constitution Day event. A cake was made to celebrate the day. Honorable
P. Gwynett Hilburn, speaks audience about her responsibilities as a judge.
Students were also given a
chance to show their support and
sign a constitution at the event.
oBy signing the constitution,
it gives students a chance to pub-
lically say that they support the
goals set forth by our forefathers, ?
Amerson said.
oT think its part of being an
American to learn about your
country and the framework of
your country. If you are going to
enjoy the rights that are granted to
ewyou,by, the Constitution, you need
to educate yourself about exactly
what those rights are. ?
In honor of Constitution
Day, Joyner Library hosted three
exhibits to recognize the history
of the U.S.
oAmendment VI: Trial by
Jury, T which was presented by the
Special Collections Department,
began yesterday and will be up in
MSC through September 23.
The reproductions of histori-
cal materials from the Manuscript
Collection in the exhibit.were
assembled together by graduate
student Adrienne Rae and faculty
advisor Jonathan Dembo.
The items in this exhibit
will educate students about
how the right to trial by jury
works in the Sixth Amendment
of the Constitution.
oThe items in this exhibit
were chosen from the Manu-
script Collection and illustrate
the workings of the constitution
here in Eastern North Carolina, ?
Dembo said.
Free Jena Six committee formed
to battle racial tensions
Members of the Free Jena Six committee collect donations and spread awareness about racial tension in Jena, LA.
Group works to stop
racial discrimination
NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER
Students at ECU have joined
the grassroots movement that is
sweeping the nation in support of
a group of six black high school
students, who after beating a white
classmate are facing charges that
many have deemed unjust.
The young men, Mychal Bell,
17, Theodore Shaw, 17, Carwin
Jones, 18, Robert Bailey, 17,
Bryant Pervis, 17 and an uniden-
tified juvenile, have been dubbed
the oJena Six. ?
Many schools, churches and
organizations have gathered in
support of the Jena Six including
a group of students representing
the NAACP, Black Student Union
and Cultural Awareness.
All of these groups have com-
bined to create the Free Jena Six
Committee (FJ6) at ECU.
The committee has organized
a full campaign in support of the
Jena 6 to raise awareness in the
local community about what is
happening in Jena, La.
The Free Jena Six Campaign
kicked off with ordering t-shirts
at the Ledonia Wright Cultural
Center on Sept. 11 and will end
with a rally Thursday Sept. 20,
the same day that Bell will face
sentencing for his conviction.
The peaceful rally will be held
on Mendenhall Student Center's
Brickyard from 8:45-10: 30 a.m..
Students that attend are asked
to wear black along with other pro-
testers across the country because
the NAACP has designated the
day as National Protest Day.
On Wednesday, Sept. 12, the
FJ6 held a public forum to inform
the student body on the Jena Six
case and to encourage everyone to
get involved.
The case is a breaking point
caused by a profusion of racially
charged acts of violence amongst
black and white students ofJena high
school and citizens in Jena, La.
In the fall of 2007, two black
students sat beneath a shade tree
that was a popular hangout for
white students.
The next day, nooses were
hung in the tree. The act was
dismissed by the school superin-
tendent as a prank, which resulted
in protest by the students and
their community.
The District Attorney did
nothing about the acts of violence
that white citizens committed
against black citizens following
the end of the protests.
However, when six black
students in the schoolyard
beat a white student, the DA
charged them with second-degree
attempted murder and conspiracy
to commit murder, despite the fact
that the white student Ts injuries
were not serious.
The story of the Jena 6 has
sparked outrage across the coun-
try, as it has been compared to the
blatant unjust treatment of blacks
in the judicial system during the
days of Jim Crow laws.
The civil rights movement
is not over, according to David
Dennard, professor of African-
American studies and main
speaker at the forum.
oIt Ts harder to identify racism
and sexism today as it was in the
1950s and 1960s, ? said Dennard.
oIf you see a problem, roll up your
sleeves and see what you can do. ?
Gathering support from the
community is the primary focus
of the FJ6 Committee.
oIt is unbelievable on this
campus how many people do not
know about the Jena Six, ? said
Kyndall Peele, FJ6 Committee
member. oThe greatest way to get
the word out is word of mouth. ?
Over the course of the cam-
paign, the FJ6é Committee will
distribute information about the
Jena Six, hold a town hall meeting
to discuss the problems of racism
in the judicial system and collect
donations to aid the Free Jena Six
Defense fund.
oThis committee is about
action. We can do anything, ?
said Jessica Ledbetter, founder
of the FJ6 Committee.
oWe have to show in num-
bers that we will not stand for
what's happening in Jena. ?
Another objective of the FJ6
Committee is to turn the focus
of the Jena Six away from being
solely a black-versus-white issue
and shed light on how it impacts
citizens of all backgrounds.
oIt Ts about fairness, ? said Jen-
nifer Nnamani, FJ6 Committee
member. oIf they are successful
in locking them up it will cause a
domino effect [for other racially
related issues ]. ?
oIf injustice comes to the
Jena Six, it will come to me. It
will come to you. That Ts why it
is so important for us to come
together to help those who are
in trouble, ? Dennard told forum
attendees.
oTtimpacts children. The govern-
ment quickly locks up youth without
any information. ? Peele said.
Members of the Free Jena
Six Committee include: Jessica
Ledbetter, Joseph Gill, Jennifer
Nnamani, Kyndall Peele, Linnea
Rush and Danita Dudley.

the Jena Six and the Free Jena Six
Committee contact the Ledonia

oThere Ts no better way to-
learn then doing, seeing and

leave a few basic facts on people Ts
minds. It provides students with

tution relates to the history of

Part-time jobs on campus available to
Don Tt forget these
employment opportunities
YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
A source of income ranks
among the most important
factors in a college stu-
dent Ts life. While some may
be blessed with an endless
reserve, also known as their
parents, others are beginning
to look for their own means
of support.
Luckily, ECU offers many
opportunities for students,
most of which never require
one to step foot off campus.
For those looking to fully
immerse themselves while
enrolled in school, East Car-
olina offers two options:
becoming a resident advi-
sor or applying for a Work
Study/Self-Help position.
For those living in dorms,
the job of a resident advisor
seems obvious, while the
perks may not.
In addition to a free
single room and Pirate Nine
meal plan (together valued
at nearly $3,000), RAs
are given a monthly check
ranging between $50-1100
as extra spending money.
oBeing an RA really helps
students develop leadership
skills and creates a transi-
tion to their future job, not
to mention all of the different
ethnicities and backgrounds
of students you get to work
with, ? said Michael McMorris
Jr., Garrett Hall RA.
Work Studies and Self-
CONSTITUTION continued from Al
Verona Joyner Langford North Car-
olina Collection and oLet Ts Read

sented by the Teaching Resource
Center, are also available for students
to view at the library.
As part of the celebration, the
Honorable P. Gwynett Hilburn,
3A District Court Judge, gave a
lecture on campus.
- Hilburn began the speech with
her oath of office and spoke to
students about the responsibilities
of a district court judge.
oAs District Court Judges, we
have jurisdiction over misdemeanors
and some felonies, but the important
work we do is in family law and
Juvenile law, ? said Hilburn.
oWe have exclusive juris-
diction over juvenile delin-
quency matters, the abuse and
neglect of children, termina-
tion of parental rights, divorce,
custody and domestic violence
matters. It Ts a lot of work but
we love it because we feel like
we make a difference. ?
She also educated students.
about the challenges faced by the
courts and other branches of the
U.S. government.
She spoke about issues involv-
ing mental health, juvenile violence,
school safety and community safety.
oFrom these Constitution
Day events, we hope that stu-
dents learn something about
their government and the rights
that they have to enjoy, ? Amer-
son said.
- oWe hope it helps people
appreciate the rights that we
have and what makes us a model
for democracy. ?
Students that wish to learn
more about the Constitution and
test their current knowledge are
encouraged to take the Constitu-
tional knowledge quiz online at by
September 21. Two winners will be T
drawn from perfect score entries
and winners will receive $25.

oDuring those ten min-

Help are flexible long-term job
positions. Students applying
for these positions are allot-
ted a budget per year ranging
between $2,000 and $2,500.
While Work Studies are
paid through the federal gov-
ernment and can be applied
for at nearly anytime, Self-
Help is a bit more selective.
oTo land a Self-Help posi-
tion, students who are inter-
ested need to apply before

Laura Hensley, library assis-
tant in charge of payroll
for Work Study and Self-
Help circulation students.
oAfter we submit our
budget, everyone look-
ing for a Self-Help job

Work Study and Self-Help
positions cover nearly every
Job aspect on campus, ranging
from campus computer labs to
office and lab assistants.
If students are looking for
something different, personal
experience and a strong foun-
dation in certain subjects are
required.
The School of Art and
Design is offering between
$10-12 for models, assisting
faculty in over nine classes of
portrait and figure painting.
If students feel strongly
rooted in certain challeng-
ing subjects offered at ECU,
they may offer their services
as a tutor.
Many math and science
departments are paying tutors
$10 an hour for their time.
If these job descriptions

pay, we can attend many
of the programs offered
in. the Rec 4-for tree.
CRW will also hold

Opinion
{ Rant on, my friends. }
Bull Richardson
for President
New Mexico Governor has the right stuff
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER
I'll probably vote Republican for President next
year. No big deal. I Tve done it for the past three, and
the so-called otop tier ? Democratic candidates haven't
done a thing to convince me to do otherwise.
We've got Hillary Clinton, the former first
lady who rode her husband Ts coattails to a Senate
seat. If eight years on the sidelines in the White
House qualifies you for the U.S. Senate, that eleva-
tor operator who was there for 40 years should be
King of the World. :
Then there Ts Barack Obama. Many of the very
people who claimed George W. Bush wasn Tt quali-
fied to be President after only six years as governor
of the second largest state in the nation think this
guy is the second coming of George Washington
after only three years as one of 100 senators.
And don Tt forget John Edwards. He did so much
for North Carolina, after all, he surely deserves a
shot to screw up the whole country. He gets $400
haircuts and claims to relate to the poor. I had to
roll up some pennies to pay for my last $12 haircut.
That Ts relating to the poor.
There is, however, one Democrat who has been
shut out by the national media Ts fascination with
the aforementioned three stooges. The more I
learn about him, the more I like him. New Mexico
Governor Bill Richardson is the one Democrat I
could support, and I Tm beginning to think he, more
than any other candidate of either party, has the
right stuff to go all.the way.
Richardson has 15 years. of experience in
Congress, something the Big Three, particularly
Obama, cannot boast: Before his election to the
House in 1980, he worked at the State Department,
and then was a staff member for the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
As a congressman, he met one-on-one with
Saddam Hussein in 1995 to secure the release of
two American civilian aerospace workers held
prisoner in Iraq after accidentally crossing the
border from Kuwait.
In addition to Iraq, Richardson has also nego-
tiated the release of hostages, American service -
members and political prisoners from North Korea
and Cuba. Earlier this year, he traveled to Sudan
and brokered a cease-fire between President Omar
al-Bashir and various rebel factions in Darfur.
While that effort was to prove unsuccessful "
through no fault of Gov. Richardson Ts " I can Tt help
but think that a man who has earned the respect of
even rogue dictators can surely restore the world Ts
faith in America as an international leader.
In 1997,-Richardson was able to capitalize
on his foreign policy experience when President
Clinton appointed him U.S: Ambassador to the
United Nations, where he served for a year before
becoming Secretary of Energy.
As secretary, he implemented tough efficiency
standards that saved consumers billions of dollars in
energy costs. As governor, he has required energy
companies to produce 10 percent of all energy from
renewable resources, while reducing carbon emis-
sions; and the state is moving toward 20 percent by
providing incentives for solar, wind and biofuels. He
has promised to do the same as president.
Since being elected governor of one of the poor-
est states in the nation in 2002, Richardson has |
cut taxes, balanced the budget and created 84,000
new jobs ... all without the benefit of'a $400 hairdo.
His efforts have led right-of-center and libertarian
. groups to praise him for reforming New Mexico's
economy.
The libertarian Cato Institute calls Richardson
oone of the most fiscally responsible Democratic
governors in the nation. ?
Governor Richardson has worked to provide
affordable healthcare to all people in his state, and
has cracked down on illegal immigration across the
New Mexico border. i
It is noteworthy that while Democratic front-
runner Hillary is as polarizing a figure as the cur-
rent President Bush, Gov. Richardson commands
respect on both sides of the aisle. He was reelected
in 2006, with 40 percent of the Republican vote.
He had a good track record of getting things done
in a bipartisan fashion while in Congress and
he Ts worked with both parties in the New Mexico
legislature to improve their state. His is the kind
of leadership we desperately need in Washington.
It Ts been said that Hillary and Obama are riding
high because people want to say they made history
by electing the first woman or the first black presi-
dent. Okay ... if you're so shallow that that Ts the only
reason you'll vote for somebody, issues be damned,
vote to elect the first president of Hispanic descent.
You not only will have made history, you'll have -
voted for someone who knows what he's doing, isn Tt on
an ego trip and has the experience and leadership to
restore pride at home and respect around the world.

Why pennies are retarded and taxes
don Tt make sense
ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
Every single time I clean my room or scrounge
around the couch there is always one consistency:
pennies. In cars, on floors, under everything. Pen-
nies infest our lives at every corner and, besides
throwing them at things or away, are mostly never
used. Yet we still have them. The gift of the penny
lies in its uselessness. It saves us from rounding up
or down and they prevent us from just including tax
in the price, leaving my poor-self attempting to do
multiplication in the line at Harris Teeter.
What is the point of a penny? When I find a
penny on the street there is nothing on Earth that
would make me think to pick up some stinky little
circle of copper. The absurd idea of its luck doesn Tt
make me think twice, either. Upon coming on a
penny on my desk or the floor I either stare at it,
knowing it could be there for months, or do the
right thing and toss it in the trash.
In fact I find it every American Ts duty to just
throw away pennies. It is the right thing to do in
order to force a logical solution to our retarded
tax policies. Ifenough Americans just tossed away
pennies maybe advertisements would stop thinking
that o19.99 ? is fooling anyone. 19.99, 1.99, 2799.99,
who in God Ts name is falling for this? Just include
the friggin T tax so everyone can know if they have
enough money.
Countless times I will stare at DVDs, food,
clothes and so on, foolishly thinking I have enough
only to discover I went one or two dollars over my
intended price range. In fact, twice I have gone
into the negatives in my bank account because of,
what else, several cents. If pennies didn Tt exist and
I could look at a price knowing oHey, this is the
exact price I am going to pay, ? maybe I could avoid
ever owing the bank money.
Maybe I am missing the point of pennies. Per-
haps the whole point of a penny is to screw everyone
over and so it will never go away. If you just look
at what I have written in another light you can see
how companies can get more money. When I think
something is not so much because it is 19.99 then,
beyond being an idiot, I help the company advertis-
ing. If tax would be included maybe everyone would
have too much freewill. Knowing how much you
are paying for something might be too much for
the average American. I can understand this since
people in this country still have the sense to pay for
a oBullet Blender ? or oListen Up ? because it says
it is only two payments of 9.99. More zeroes, bad.
Less zeroes, good.
What I really don Tt understand is why, at movie
theaters, tax is included? Everything at a theater
is logically based on quarters, nickels and dimes.
How did the movie industry get the go-ahead on
abolishing pennies? It is almost as if I am paying
tax when I see a movie so I continue to throw
away pennies. Here is another thought to include
tax: What if gas didn Tt have tax included? Oh wait
that would be oautastic ? considering how much tax
goes into gas, so based on that system why isn Tt tax
included in everything else? If I went to buy gas
and it only cost me four dollars for ten gallons until
it included tax after pumping, I would be royally
screwed. All the same, considering if I only have
$21 and I go to the grocery store, see my price
is $20.35, and then see the price including tax I
would become screwed for gas and food. What is
the point of excluding it?
American businesses can easily ease out of the
penny so easily too. At a coffee shop back in Apex,
oThe Coffeehouse, ? the owner set all of his prices in
an odd arrangement so that when tax was included,
everything would come out with a five or a zero,
knocking all pennies out of the equation. Here is a
true American Patriot who is taking the right steps
towards sticking it to the American Mints.
I am not sure if this problem will ever end,
short answer no, but steps can be taken. If anyone
reading this is a future entrepreneur just remem-
ber that coffee shop owner and do the math right.
However, until the day where these people run their
own businesses and we can all live in this utopia
we must put a stop to all of it. Throw away your
pennies, ECU ste s Throw away your pennies
for America.

Ways to give animals a
better life
DAVID PUCKETT
STAFF WRITER
The Humane Society of
Eastern Carolina (HSEC) is
a nonprofit ono kill ? animal
shelter that works in effort to
find neglected animals good
homes and educate the public on
animal-related issues.
oWe are here to take in ani- |
mals that people can no longer
keep or can Tt find a home for,
and we try our hardest to get
them adopted into good quality
homes, ? said HSEC Assistant
Director Lauren Early.
The animal shelter Ts ono
kill ? policy includes that they
do not euthanize the animals
unless they show incurable
health problems or overly
aggressive behavior. However,
the need to euthanize rarely
occurs because the shelter
evaluates every dog and cat
that is brought in. If the animal
shows signs of overly aggres-
sive behavior, they will not be
accepted because the facility
cannot adopt the animal out.
The facility can house
approximately 70 dogs and 40
cats. Adopting an animal] that
cannot be adopted would take
up space for animals capable of
adoption.
oThe hardest part of the
job is saying no we can Tt take
in your animal. T That Ts why
{Campus Scene}
we have to be picky so we can
have the room to take in more
animals, ? Early said.
People interested in adopt-
ing must first go to the shelter,
located at 3520 Tupper Road,
and pick out the cat or dog of
their choice. Afterwards, one
must fill out a pre-adoption form
and go through an interview to
determine if the dog or cat is
going to the right home.
Assuming the screening
process is successful, othey
pay the adoption fee and can
pick their pet up that day, ?
Early said.
The adoption fee is important
because the shelter is funded by
donations. Fees range from $65
for kittens and cats to $150 for
small (under 20 pounds) and
purebred dogs. All animals are
spayed and neutered unless they
are less than 8 weeks old. If so,
a voucher will be included with
the adoption fee that every vet
in Pitt County accepts to spay
or neuter the animal.
HSEC Volunteer Coordina-
tor Elizabeth Kyger understands
that adopting an animal is a
difficult commitment and rec-
ommends fostering an animal
as an alternative.
oFostering is a great way for
you to bring an animal into your
life, have them for a couple of
months, give them love and care,
and when you're done, you can
bring them back to the shelter, ?
said Kyger.
The HSEC aims to educate
the public about issues pertain-

Clash of
the titans
Kanye and 50 Cent
battle for the top
spot
JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITER
I Tm not especially excited
to do a music review, but there
seems to be a lot of interest on
campus regarding Kanye and
50, so I'll take a shot at it.
Last Tuesday the two big-
gest names in hip-hop dropped
new albums, so like every other
college student in America, I
went to Wal-Mart and bought
both of them.
When I say we all went
out to Wal-mart and bought
them, I hope it is mutually
understood that I downloaded
them just like you. I won't tell
Kanye if you don Tt.
Kanye doesn Tt have to
worry that much however,
because 750,000 people who
apparently don Tt have the inter-
net bought the album. With
first week sales figures like
that, Kanye officially toppled
50 Cents T meager 600,000 and
took the top spot.
Kanye Ts album Graduation
is his third and in my opinion
his worst. I was very excited to
hear the album when his first
few singles dropped earlier this
summer, but the final product
leaves something to be desired.
The bangin T beat of oStronger ?
would not be reproduced and
the lyricism on oCan Tt tell me
nothing ? was replaced with
raps about Luis Vuitton and
surtglasses on every other track.
For those of you who
thought that Kanye would
receive some help from his
guest appearances, prepare
to be disappointed. While
he normally has good backup
on his tracks, he sold out on
this one.
While I would have liked to
see Lupe Fiasco, Common, Mos
Def, or some other talented art-
ists, Kanye went with the two
most annoying voices in hip
hop: T-pain and Lil T Wayne.
Now that I Tm through with
the negatives, J can add to
Kanye Ts already-bursting ego
with some praise. My favorite
thing about Graduation is that
it is something different. In a
year full of dirty south rappers
making songs with repeti-
_ tive hooks and simple beats,
Graduation has some lyrical
content and like always, Kanye
produced some great beats.

it is easy for him to
what misleading as a) A Low
a title, because it& I
is nothing like the
sexual adventures of
Tucker Max in I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
and there is definitely not as many drugs as
fellow journalist Hunter S. Thompson men-
tions in the acclaimed Fear and Loathing in
Las Vegas. However, Klosterman has a dorky
and sincere view of his life and the lives of
others through pop culture.
The book begins with a otrack listing ? of the
eighteen chapters, which include titles like oBeing
Zack Morris, ? o oThe Awe Inspiring Beauty of Tom
Cruise Ts Shattered, Troll-like Face, ? and oPorn. ?
Within these chapters, Klosterman breaks down
things that helped to mold Generation X and
created Generation Y.
For instance, the creation of MT V Ts The Real
World, Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210
changed the way a generation acted and perceived ~
adults and rules. Klosterman also spends 13
pages praising Billy Joel for being so un-cool and
ridiculing critics for calling soccer the next big
throw together a
group of essays that
sort-of has the same
theme and tone for
a book, which is what this is. It seems a little
A.D.D. at times, but the message is the same: a
cynical slacker trying to make sense of the world
around him.
The book is a perfect fit for college students
to get a whiff of what Klosterman feels the world
is around them when they graduate and have
oreal ? jobs.
Some professors have even started using
this book for instruction on pop culture.
In addition, everyone remembers per-
fectly prim Kelly Kapowski, annoying
Brenda Walsh and Puck, so it is easy to
be completely entertained by Klosterman Ts
sarcastic view on pop culture. Read after
flipping through an US Weekly and you will
get the picture.

Klosterman Ts book has a new outldok on pop culture.

RAP BATTLE continued from A4
The appearance from Cold-
play Ts Chris Martin on the song
oHomecoming ? was a move only
Kanye could make and it turned
out to be a great song.
Also, the lyrical content
on songs like oBig Brother, ?
oGood Morning ? and oThe
Glory ? delivers something you
will never hear from 50.
Speaking of 50, it is his
turn to face the music. His
newest release, Curtis, is also
a disappointment. Like Mr.
West, 50 Cent has two crucial
singles on the CD and a lot
of filler. The street banger
oI Get Money ? is one of the
best songs of the year and cer-
tainly the best on the album.
While the album itself is not
very impressive, 50 Ts ability to
recruit hot talent is remark-
able. With guest appearances
from Dr. Dre., Justin Tim-
berlake, Mary J. Blige, Robin
Thicke, Eminem and produc-
tion from Timbaland, I think
it is safe to say 50 cent works , |g
with the best. S :
While his guest appear-
ances on the album are good,
the main problem is his lyrics,
Foolishly I expected a little
more from 50 on the album as
far as lyrics, but the rhymes on
this one are a step above nurs-
ery. Candy shop and lollipop
are not working in 2007. The
savior of this album is that it
will get some radio play. The
songs oI Still Kill ? and oFollow
My Lead ? are good and will
undoubtedly be popular.
If I had to pick a favorite
of the two I guess. the Luis
Vuitton Don gets my vote.
While it was a close second,
Curtis just doesn Tt bring
new flavor to the fridge.
Save your money on the
album, spend it on his vita-
min water. You'll be more
satisfied.

Most Valuable
Pirate
Cotton
Cotton was in the Southern Miss
backfield all night with 10 total
tackles, one sack and 1.5 tackles
for loss; but it was a play that
the talented linebacker made in
the passing game that had the
most impact. Halfway through
the third quarter, Cotton made
an interception and returned it
to the USM 1-yard-line, setting
up a Dominique Lindsay touch-
down run that tied the game
at 14. Cotton Ts play ignited
the ECU crowd and offense, as
the Pirates scored 14 straight
points after his interception.
THE TURNING
POINT
The Pirates had a 21-14 lead, all
the momentum and the Golden
Eagles backed up late in the third
quarter. On third-and-fifteen
rom its own 25-yard-line, USM
quarterback Jeremy Young found
Damion Fletcher sneaking out
of the backfield for what looked
to be a short pass. Fletcher had
other ideas as he made numerous
Pirate defenders miss and scam-
pered down the sideline for a cru-
cial 48-yard gain. USM tied the
&
game two plays later and never
looked back in the 28-21 victory.
oHe did a great job, he caught it, a
couple guys overran it, we missed
a couple tackles and Fletcher is a
_tremendous back. ?

ECU loses first

ECU played great for one
quarter Saturday night, but not
for the other three, in a heart-

power Southern Miss. :
After a frustrating first half

time in the Skip Holtz era, ECU.
scored all 21 of its points in the
third quarter.
- The Golden Eagles regained
the momentum in the final frame
however, scoring the final two
touchdowns of the game.
The Pirates (1-2, 0-1) com-
mitted nine penalties, while the
Golden Eagles were only flagged
twice.
oIt was a heck of a football
game and it went all the way down
to the wire, we just [had] way
too many mistakes, ? said ECU
football Head Coach Skip Holtz.
USM (2-1, 1-0) quarterback
Jeremy Young scored the final
touchdown on a 1-yard quarter-
back sneak with 0:32 left in the
game. Young Ts decisive touch-
down capped a 15-play, 80-yard

of the second quarter and was
out-gained by 121 yards in the
first half.
oWe had a lot of opportuni-
ties to put points on the board in
the first half but it seemed like
every time we got down there,
something crazy happened, ?
said ECU senior Chris Johnson.
oIt was either somebody jumped
offside, a missed field goal, an
interception or something. Then
for us to fight back so hard in
the second half and just come up
short, it really hurts. ?
Seven of the Pirates T nine
penalties occurred in the first
half. USM took a 14-0 lead into
halftime as a result.
The Pirates exploded in the
third quarter however, scoring

ECU took its only lead of
the game when Johnson hauled

in the third quarter, giving the
Pirates a 21-14 lead.

everybody just started to believe,
it was a positive and made every-

After the go-ahead touch-
down by Johnson, the Pirates had
all the momentum until USM
running back Damion Fletcher
made a great individual play.
Facing a third-and-fifteen

Young found Fletcher sneaking
out of the backfield; Fletcher
caught the short pass, broke a

down the sideline for a back-

Falcon soars above the rest
Goaltender helped
build ECU club hockey
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER
Few athletes have the
impact on their respective
teams and programs that
Brent Falcon has on ECU Ice
Hockey.
Imagine Patrick Pinkney
putting in extra hours trying
to finalize a sponsorship pack-
age before practice starts,
or Harrison Eldridge being
credited as a founder of ECU
Baseball.
These notions sound far-
fetched for most. Division |
athletes, but are reality for
Falcon.
' Due to efforts of Falcon,
Club Hockey has earned the
respect of its Division I coun-
terparts.
Falcon Ts duties range from:
being a captain on the ice to
handling administrative tasks,
such as organizing schedules,
off the ice.
Falcon didn Tt inherit any °
kind of established role, nor
did he have any formula to
model his dream after.
Joined by senior Corey
Fleitz and former player
Jordan Meyers, Falcon helped
create the club from scratch
after the trio received word
an ice rink was being built in
Greenville.
oWe met with Gray Hodges
in the club sports office and
he told us what we needed to
do, ? said Falcon. oReally, from
Starting goalie Brent Falcon warms u
there on it was Just trying
to get funding and trying to
get the word out. I think in a
matter of two months we had
about 15 kids that had played
hockey so it picked up pretty
quickly. ?
Just one year later, the club
became official and the team
ee
hit the ice.
Falcon was born in Scotia,
N.Y. and moved to Massachu-
setts at the age of nine. Oddly
enough, Brent didn Tt start
playing hockey until he moved
to Raleigh.
After living in two hockey-
crazed states, this wasn Tt the
Pirates win George
Invitational title with
Wernert named MVP
of second-consecutive
tourney
SID--- The ECU volleyball
team, led by tournament MVP
Kelley Wernert, won the George
Washington Invitational for its
first tournament championship of
the season by sweeping Howard
and Hartford Saturday inside the
Smith Center. Wernert notched
double-digit kills in all three
tournament matches to give her
double-digits in her last 42 of 46
matches. The Pirates improve
their record to 9-6, having won
seven of their last eight matches,
while Howard falls to 0-10 and
Hartford to 6-7. In addition
to Wernert Ts honors, junior
Trish Monroe and sophomore
Melissa Zentner were named
to the All-Tournament Team.
In game one against the
Bison, ECU assumed leads of
11-4, 19-10 and 23-13 on its
way to a 30-14 win and a 1-0
match lead. ECU would not
sit on the lead as it raced to a
12-1 advantage in game two,
forcing a timeout. The break
would do no good for Howard
as the Pirates cruised to a 30-17
win in the frame. ECU had no
trouble closing out the Bison,
taking leads of 11-3 and 20-7 on
its way to pummeling Howard
30-10.to close the contest.
Wernert and Zentner both
put down double-digit kills for
the second-consecutive match
while Wernert also led the
defense, digging up nine balls.
Freshman Katie Koop handed
out 35. assists and the Pirates
held the Bison to just 21 kills
for the match. ECU also won
the battle at the net, recording
eight and a half blocks to four for
Howard. Additionally, Howard
was held to a negative hitting
percentage of -.048.
Looking for the tourna-
ment title, the Pirates jumped
out to a 13-7 lead in game one
against the Hawks. A timeout

easiest sport to pick up in the
South.
oI think there were probably
about two [rinks] when I came
to Raleigh, ? said the Green
Hope High School graduate.
oIt Ts just really blown up. The
[Carolina] Hurricanes coming
down has helped a lot. You're
13-7 proved ineffective as the
Pirates out-scored the Hawks
17-6 to take the frame 30-13.
ECU again blitzed Hartford to
begin the second game, racking
up a 19-11 advantage and induc-
ing a Hawk timeout. However,
Hartford would fight back, cut-
ting the deficit to 23-22. With
the Pirates leading 29-26, the
Hawks fought off three game
points to tie the frame at 29
but ECU would use a-Hartford
attack error and a Zentner kill
to end the game 31-29: The
Hawks put up no fight in the
final frame, falling behind the
Pirates 14-8 and 22-9 before
eventually falling 30-14.
Wernert led the offense,
starting to see a lot more kids
that were born in North Caro-
lina start to play hockey as the
sport is growing in Raleigh. ?
Falcon hopes hockey in
Eastern North Carolina will
grow like it has in the state
capital.
oYou can Tt make it to a Hur-
ricanes game every day, but for
five bucks [you can] come out
to an ECU Ice Hockey game, ?
he said. oI think it appeals to a
lot of people. ?
Conventional wisdom states
that taller players make better
goaltenders. Standing 5 T10, |
Brent Falcon may be a bit under-
sized, but fans and opponents
would probably never guess it
by watching him play.
oI think what I lack in my
size, I make up for in my quick-
ness and ability to recover
quickly from the first shot
and get to the rebound, ? said
Falcon.
Clearly, hockey is the sport
of choice in the Falcon house-
hold:
Brent wasn Tt the first goal-
tender in the family though; his
older brother played in goal at
N.C. State.
Falcon credits ECU Ts big
time T enrollment and athletic
scene, yet small school atmo-
sphere, as motivation for coming
to Greenville.
While Brent holds down
the fort on defense at ECU

Tyler and Ian, help supply the

Brent. oI never played with
them before so I didn Tt really
know what to expect but I can Tt
see myself playing without
them now. Sometimes you have
to calm them down a little bit,
I'd like to see us in Division II (ACHA)

but all in all it Ts been good. ?
~ Tyler, a junior, is quick to
point out Brent Ts importance
to the club.
oHe means a lot to the
team, ? said Tyler. oHe started
it all. We wouldn Tt be here
without him. ?
Although his time as a
Pirate is nearing an end, the
marketing major has no plans
of abandoning ship. Falcon
plans to land a job somewhere
nearby and help the club in
some capacity.
