Week of registration runs smoothly
Students rush for
spring classes
YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
The majority of ECU stu-
dents completed their registra-
tion last week with the help of
advisors and Banner.
Banner is enjoying its first
full school year of use after
being implemented less than
one year ago.
Don Sweet, associate chief
information officer, noted
that during the entire week
of registration, Banner itself
was slow for oonly .83 ee
of that time. ?
oThe reason it was slow
was because a concurrent user
setting (the number of requests
that it could process simulta-
neously) for the database that
Banner runs on was reset to a
lower number than the previ-
ous registration and we are
looking to find out how that
happened, ? Sweet said.
oIt was immediately
changed from 750 concurrent
sessions up to 2,048 concur-
rent sessions when it was
discovered and everything
worked fine. ?
Advisors reported little to
no problems as well from their
side of the registration process.
oFrom an advising perspec-
tive it went really smoothly, ?
said Jayne Geissler, director
of the Academic Advising and
Support Center.
oWe start late August,
early September sending out
emails and during this time
service around 4,000 students
from the undecided to arts or
sciences, ? Geissler said.
Problems, oif: any.
during the week con-
sisted primarily of having
to wait to see ones advisor.
oThe advisors in our center
began contacting their advisees

Student Health Services announces
d hard waiver insurance
require
Goes into effect after
two more approvals
DAVID WILDER
STAFF WRITER
ECU may join many other
universities within the UNC
system in implementing a hard
waiver insurance program.
oHard waiver is when stu-
dents are required to have health
insurance to enroll in the univer-
sity, ? said Amy Viverette, student
health services administrator.
oStudents would not be
required to purchase the student
insurance we offer, however
they must show proof of having
comparable coverage in order
to enroll. ?
Student Health Services has
not received final approval from
Chancellor Steve Ballard and
the ECU Board of Trustees for
Hard Waiver Insurance, accord-
_Ing to Viverette.
oOnce insurance becomes
required, the cost of the pre-
mium is driven down due to
the possible market that the
policy is opened up to, ? Viver-
ette said.
oThis makes our school insur-
ance policy much more affordable
than any comparable plan. ?
In the recent past, insurance
companies have been offering
extremely high rates, according
to Viverette.
The fee that will be
added to the student tuition
bill is seen as an accept-
able amount for the service.
The premium hard waiver
insurance policy for under-
graduates is estimated to be
$349 per semester.
Pearce and Pearce, the
company that provides the
insurance, will administer the
hard waiver program. _
oI think that the $350 that
students without health insur-
ance would have to pay is neces-
ANU V'
HEALTH INSURANCE
¢ One of the fastest growing groups in the U.S. population without health insurance are
traditional college age students (18-29).
© More than'13 million lacked coverage in 2003, whichis a 2.2 million increase from 2000.
¢ Uninsured students, aged 18-24, incurred 718.000 emergency visits in 2001.
e A visit to the emergency room will cost you $800-$1000, on average.
e The current student population has the greatest number of health care problems than
any other generation
sary. The purpose of insurance
is for the what-if Ts in life, ? said
Evan Roberson, junior.
Students will still receive
health care through ECU Stu- /
dent Health Services. For ser-
vices not available at the health
center, students can use health
care providers in the MED-
COST Network.
oThe MEDCOST Network
is a network of providers that
consists of hospitals, doctors
and other health care providers
organized into a network for the
ay pose of delivering quality
ealthcare at affordable rates, ?
Viverette said.
Students who already have
an insurance policy would need
to supply their current insurance
information, which includes the
name of the insurance company,
subscriber ID and group number
(if applicable).
This information will be sent
online to ECUs Student Health
Services and verified by Pearce
and Pearce.
ECU offers an insurance
policy for Study Abroad students
called HTH Worldwide.
International students that
come to ECU are also offered
HTH Worldwide insurance,
according to Viverette.

A town ot
thieves
Robbed in Greenville: easy as one,
two, wait...where Td my three go?
JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITER
Have you had something stolen from you since
you have been at this school? If the answer is yes,
you are not the only one. It seems that amongst all
of the great things about Greenville, there are a few
things that plague it, one of the biggest being theft.
Last week I was reminded of the abundant pres-
ence of this when I went to get my lacrosse gear '
out of my trunk for practice, only to notice that it
was stolen. Yes, my stinky, old, beat-up lacrosse
pads, cleats and helmet were, for whatever reason,
desirable enough to rip off.
Now this wasn Tt the first time I have been
robbed since I have been a student here. Ironically,
the first time I was actually playing lacrosse when
it happened. Unlike my most recent brush with
burglary, that time I did the responsible thing and
called the cops. They, however, did nothing to help
the situation, and they actually berated me as if I
had something to do with it being stolen.
Now since the police are very busy filing
drinking citations and it is nearing holiday season
(robbery season), I will give you some valuable
information regarding the thieves in this town.
There appears to be different types of thieves
in Greenville. The first and most prevalent are the
ones like those who stole from me. These people
are random and most likely non-students who
wander around town looking to break into cars
and houses. They steal bikes, things off porches,
your CD players and lacrosse equipment.
The second type of thief is equally prevalent
but they take a different form. These thieves are the
students who steal from other students. Yes, you
are the ones who steal from people in the library, in
the gym, in the dorms and classrooms on campus.
We read about you in emails and police reports,
and you are in no way better than the thieves I
first mentioned.
The final and worst type of thief is a variant
of the second: a student who steals from other stu-
dents, but they are not random or unknown person
on campus. You are the boldest, most evil type of
thief who disguises yourself as a friend, acquain-
tance or neighbor, and steals from those who trust
you. Yes you are the ones who are invited to a
party and then steal something. Be it a tap, money,
CDs, an iPod or anything else. You are, quoting
my roommate, who had a pair of sunglasses stolen
from him, the oSCUM OF THE EARTH! ?
Those of you who are reading this article and
fall into any of the aforementioned categories have
something coming to you. Whether you like it or
not, eventually your devious ways will catch up
to you and I think I speak for anyone on campus
that has had something stolen from them when I
say, get bent.

No rest for
the weary
Thanksgiving break=no break at all
SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
It seems like everyone is proclaiming how ready
they are for Thanksgiving break. I Tve already begun to
hear the buzz around campus, read the jubilant away
messages left up on AIM and even stumbled upon
a few flat-out exhausted cries for help on Facebook
statuses.
I Tm not really sure why everyone is so excited
about this particular holiday; maybe it Ts the thought
of three whole days without setting foot on campus
or the prospect of a home cooked meal. Some could
even be looking forward to the time they will spend
with family and friends.
Although I'll admit that I am also looking for-
ward to basking in extra hours of sleep each night
and anxiously anticipating the carving of the juicy
turkey which my grandmother will prepare, I Tm also
dreading Thanksgiving break.
Gasps are probably breaking out all over campus
right now, and youre probably wondering how anyone
can dread a break.
Let me explain.
For me, Thanksgiving break inevitably means
more work and less rest. I work part-time in retail,
and part-time quickly becomes full-time during the
holiday season.
People will be rushing into the store the day after
Thanksgiving, trying to nab the best deals on gifts
for their loved ones.
Meanwhile, I'll be left cleaning up the mess after
the mobs have destroyed the entire store. Who knows
what time I Tll leave work on Friday night; I might just
bring a sleeping bag and camp out that night.
Another reason that I Tm not really looking for-
ward to Thanksgiving is because it is an entire day
spent with family. Of course I love spending time with
my family, but an entire day together can just be so
emotionally draining.
[hate being asked the same two or three questions
repeatedly by multiple relatives. I hate having to spend
the entire day running around helping in the kitchen. I
hate cooking; I don Tt cook at my own home and I don Tt
want to cook during the holidays either.
While others on campus are overjoyed with the
prospect of Thanksgiving break, I'll be thankful when
the holidays are over and I can once again enjoy a
normal evening at work without hearing the hysterical
screams of parents in search of a toy that is sold out.

So read something
ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
This day and age, everyone thrills themselves
with the knowledge of almost everything. We can
easily find out solid facts about any subject in mere
seconds with the Internet, and/or learn the days
news with delightful 24-hour news stations or the
age-old newspaper. Realistically though, I think
people spend less and less time bothering with
the actual news because they believe oIt Ts all the
same ? or too overwhelming. Based off this I have
come to realize that almost everyone who has an
opinion about politics more than likely has no idea
what they are talking about.
People nowadays love to cite vague examples
about politicians or politics in general. oThe war is
for oil, man, ? o9/11 is a conspiracy, man, ? oHillary
sucks, dude, ? are all great phrases which, sadly,
many people love to quote, but if you dare step out-
side of this box and actually use real or historical
facts, you can tell right there and then these people
are full of it. When these people wish to discuss the
next presidential election, perhaps they should use
the resources available. I can narrow it down even
further though. When you want to talk about any-
thing in the news, don Tt use television and don Tt use
the Internet, read a book or the newspaper instead!
Yes it may surprise you that when you need to learn
something it actually involves the dedication of 30
or maybe even 40 minutes of reading and doing
so can lead to an increase in knowledge that far
exceeds fancy graphics or every single subject on
Earth condensed to your monitor.
It may be that this newspaper or book you are
reading is obiased, ? [editor Ts note: We certainly
try not to be!] but let Ts face some facts: if we are
in some sort of heated argument and you are citing
several books and newspapers and | am citing Fox
News and Wikipedia, I am wrong even if I am
right. So in turn, when I hear people say that they
would never vote for Hillary because they hate her
or don Tt like her, I am always curious to the real
answer, but it seems to avail most who don Tt like
her. Unfortunately it doesn Tt stop there because
many people just decide to dislike politicians based
on...I don Tt know what. I am not sure why they
ohate ? or onot like ? this or that candidate or policy,
but I can say that if we all would read something
about it perhaps we could vote correctly, or at all.
Now by ocorrectly ? I do not mean Democrat
or Republican, I just mean the most logical candi-
date based on your beliefs. That means Fox News,
CNN, Wikipedia, etc. had nothing to do with your
thought process, and hopefully not Ann Coulter
or Michael Moore. It is amazing what just a few
articles in a newspaper or even Just one book can
influence.
Just read about this or that. Read something
factual about Hillary Clinton and then realize why
you hate her or read something factual about 9/11
and realize why it isn Tt a conspiracy. I wish I could
say oread something about the Iraqi War ? and then
it would be that simple, but unfortunately there are
many factors that are involved, and unless you at
least know we supported Iraq against Iran and the
Taliban were friends of ours, I would suggest not
ever speaking about the subject till you do.
I know that of the 20 people who will read this
article, one person may lift their head up and nod.
blankly to the sky; but it really doesn Tt matter. The
only reason it doesn Tt matter is because when I meet
you I will know that you don Tt know.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, will affect the lives of millions-of Americans this winter.
Seasonal form of depression
SAD is more than
» just the owinter blues ?
CAT POTTER
STAFF WRITER
It Ts that time of year again. The time to swap
the flip-flops for snow boots and t-shirts for
sweaters and heavy Jackets.
However, for some people the winter
months symbolize much more than a ward-
robe makeover, they can mean changes in their
emotional state.
The reason for this alteration is due to a
psychological disorder known as Seasonal Affec-
tive Disorder.
Seasonal Affective Disorder affects more than
10 million Americans each year and is becoming
a widely recognizable form of depression.
The American Psychiatric Association
defines SAD, as a form of depression that takes
place during the fall and winter months. It can
appear gradually or all at once.
Symptoms of the disorder include fatigue,
irritability, sadness, anxiety, increased
appetite, weight gain, lack of interest in
favored activities and social withdrawal.
These symptoms tend to fade as spring
arrives and go into a kind of remission in the
summer months.
Though some show skepticism in the valid-
ity of SAD as an actual mental illness, others
have witnessed the disease in their own friends
and family.
oIt does not affect me personally but I know
people who have suffered from the disorder and
it seems pretty serious but is easily treatable once
you identify it and get help, ? said junior art major
Sarah Gray.
Treatment for SAD is much like treatment
for other psychological disorders, including
depression. Some cases require psychotherapy
and even a prescription for certain anti-depres-
sant medications.
One of the most common treatments for
SAD is light therapy. The treatments con-
sists of two different forms of therapy. In the
first an individual can sit at a distance away
from a light bulb usually in the morning.
Dawn stimulation, in which lights come
on gradually before a patient wakes up, is

growing campus,
and current
construction
is expanding
the campus to
accommodate
the increasing
student popula-
tion. However,
while much con-
struction seeks
to provide the
majority of stu-
dents with more
space and better
features, there
are many students on campus
requiring special assistance
in order to better serve their
needs. The ECU Department of
Disability Support Services
intends to provide these students
with services.
The overall mission of the
Department of Disability Sup-
port Services (DSS) is to provide
services to individuals with dis-
abilities that will enable them to
access programs, services, facili-
ties and activities of the univer-
sity. This will, in turn, enhance
disability awareness among
students, staff and faculty.
According to the policies
and procedures of DSS, the uni-
versity seeks to meet individual
needs through the department by
ocoordinating and implementing
internal policy regarding pro-
grams, services and activities for
individuals with disabilities. ?
DSS provides a source
of information along with
maintaining communication
between individuals with dis-
abilities, faculty and staff, state
rehabilitation agencies and the
surrounding community.
MCT
Disabled students require accessible buildings.
There are four primary
elements that serve as the
philosophy of DSS. First, no
individual is to be discriminated
against, deprived of benefits or
prohibited from participating
in activities exclusively because
of possessing a disability. Sec-
ondly, certain barriers will be
removed inasmuch as possible.
Next, individuals with dis-
abilities will have an equivalent
opportunity to obtain an educa-
tion and pursue their educa-
tional goals. And finally, every
student is seen as unique with
certain needs that are custom-
ized to the individual.
While most buildings .on
campus are accessible to stu-
dents with disabilities, some
older buildings lack the same
degree of accessibility. Erwin
building, Christenbury Gym
and the third floor of the Geol-
ogy building are just a few of
the locations on campus that
provide little or no accessibil-
ity to those with distinctive
needs.

Giving blood is an
easy way to oive back
The American Red Cross comes to ECU Ts campus to collect blood donations from students regularly.
Campus blood drives are
convenient and safe
DREW CURRIN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The American Red Cross has always tried
to encourage the community to reach out and
give blood. Although many get the image of
the Bloodmobile parked outside of Wright
Plaza in their minds, the Pitt County Chapter
of the American Red Cross is doing much more _
around ECU Ts campus.
Every semester, a team of organizers, staff
and donors set up drives around campus to
encourage students to donate blood, and although
most of the blood drives are not usually the talk
of the ECU community, they are important to
those in need.
The Pitt County Chapter of the American
Red Cross comes to campus every few weeks and
holds blood drives everywhere from the Blood-
mobile in Wright Plaza to the Student Recreation
Center. These drives help students and faculty
learn about the significance of donating blood
and those who are affected by it.
oEach unit that-is collected can save up to
three lives, ? said Teresa Tripp, who volunteers
with the Pitt County Chapter of the American
Red Cross.
For many of the campus blood drives, the
goal set by the American Red Cross is 80 units.
The waiting time is usually between 30 minutes
to an hour depending on how busy the drive is,
and once a donor is finished, they can carry with
them the satisfaction that they. are helping save
someone Ts life:
The most recent blood drive on campus
took place on Monday, Nov..i2 in the
Mendenhall Student Center. The Pre-Pharmacy
Club co-sponsored the drive with Gamma Beta
Phi and the club Ts volunteer coordinator, Ryan
Czmiel, helped handle the responsibility of put- ,
ting it together.
oIt actually wasn Tt hard at all. I just called the
American Red Cross and they printed out flyers
to hang up and a signup sheet, ? said Czmiel.
Czmiel added that the Red Cross set up the
hours, the location of the drive and a reasonable
goal in units to expect.
Czmiel, who is a blood donor, thought that
sponsoring a blood drive would be a good idea
for the Pre-Pharmacy Club because of the over-
whelming blood shortage in America.
Although the American Red Cross is always
looking for new and repeat donors, there are
requirements to ensure that they are receiving
the best possible donors. Such requirements help
the Red Cross fulfill their goals, but they also
ensure the safety of recipients.
These requirements include that the candi-
date must be 17 years old, in general good health,
weigh over 100 pounds and not have received

ECU gets much-needed bye week
Pirates shift focus
to Tulane
JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
The bye week has finally
arrived for ECU [6-5, 5-2] after
suffering a devastating loss last
weekend at the hands of C-USA
East Division foe Marshall.
Everything was in order
for the Pirates to win the East
Division and make an appear-
ance in the conference title
game, but now the Pirate Nation
has suddenly turned into SMU
and UTEP fans, as ECU must
have UCF lose one of its last
two games to sneak into the
title game.
The chance to host the
title game at Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium is no longer a realistic
possibility.
oI talked to them a little
bit about the transition you go
through when you lose a game
and you have a lot of hurt, ? said 8
ECU coach Skip Holtz. oThat &
hurt turns to anger and then that
anger turns to determination.
oAll we can do is control
what we can control and that
is to try to come out here and
improve our weaknesses and get
ready to play a one-game season
against Tulane in two weeks. ?
Holtz hopes that determina-
tion builds over the next two
weeks as the Pirates prepare for

Junior offensive lineman Fred Hicks is one of many key players on the offensive line that has been injured.
the Green Wave.
oI was really proud of the
attitude and the way they prac-
ticed [Tuesday], ? said Holtz.
oWe have to make sure that we
don Tt come out here upset or
angry about the [Marshall]
loss, but determined and moti-
vated to get done what we have
to get done.
The banged-up Pirates will
try to use the bye week to get a
little healthier.
oThis is an open date that
we need badly, ? Holtz said. oWe
have a lot of guys beat up and a
lot of guys that are injured and
missing practice right now. This
~ is very much a spring practice
type of atmosphere right now. ?
One of the main things
that the Pirates must work on
during this bye week is their
terrible pass defense that cur-
rently ranks as one of the worst
in the nation, giving up almost
300 yards a game.
oEarly on it was because
of youth, but now it Ts not
youth, ? said defensive backs
coach Rick Smith. oThey have
played 11 ballgames. I Tve said
it before and I'l] say it again,
oWhen we Tre real good in pass
defense it Ts the whole team.
When we're real good we get
way too much credit T.
oSometimes my guys-are so
afraid of giving up the deep ball
in our zones that we are too soft
and they catch it in front of us.
So [this week] we're trying to
tighten down the zone coverages
where we can be closer to the
wide receiver when they catch
it so we can either knock it out
or strip it. ?
While the secondary is
taking a beating in the media and
by fans, Smith makes it clear that
every position on defense plays a
critical part in pass defense.
oIt all works together, ? he
said. oMy four guys have to
be where they are supposed to
be. The linebackers have to be
where they are supposed to be
and we hope the four [defensive]
linemen are where they are sup-
posed to be.
oIn baseball, if you Tve got a
Nolan Ryan, he can strike them
all out. In basketball, if you Tve
got a great rebounder and three-
point shooter then those two
guys can win the game. But in

History repeats itself in loss to Richmond
Pirates fall in OT for
second-straight year
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER
ECU let victory slip out of its
grasp for the second consecutive
season, falling victim, yet again, to
a late second half comeback from
Richmond to force overtime. Like
last year, the Spiders used that
momentum to edge the Pirates in
an extra session thriller, 67-65.
Darrell Jenkins found himself
wide open at the top of the key
with less than five seconds left,
but back-rimmed a shot that would
have clinched revenge for ECU.
oIfhe takes that shot 10 times,
he probably makes it five times, ?
said ECU head coach Mack
McCarthy. oThat wasn Tt a bad
look at all to have as the game-
winner. ?
The first two minutes of over-
time passed without a score until
ECU Ts Taylor Gagnon sank two
free-throws to give the Pirates
a 63-61 lead. Richmond Ts Justin S
Harper answered with a three-
pointer with 1:26 remaining to
give the Spiders their first lead
since the 16:38 minute mark in
the second half of regulation. ECU
was forced to send Richmond to
the foul-line after two missed
opportunities, where the Spiders
converted to make the lead 66-63.

Pitted in a matchup between

champions, the Lady Pirates fell.
to 1-1 as they combined for 32
turnovers in Tuesday night Ts loss
to Old Dominion, 88-66.
Lauren Cochran-shot 7-for-
8 from the field with a career
high 17 points, but this was not
enough to offset four Lady Mon-
archs scoring in double figures.
The night started off well for
the Lady Pirates as they jumped
out to an early lead, exchanging
baskets until Shuanda Ashford Ts
three-pointer five minutes into
the game put ECU up 11-9.
After T.J. Jordan Ts four point-
point play gave the Lady Mon-
archs the lead, ECU answered
with a 9-2 run, putting them up
by four just before the midway
mark of the half. After con-
secutive baskets by the Lady
Monarch Ts Jessica Canady, ECU
responded with a 7-1 run, capped
off by Impress Manning Ts free
throws with seven minutes
remaining in the half to extend
the lead to four. The Lady

lane for a layup to cut the lead to
one point with just 10 seconds
remaining before Richmond
added another free-throw with
seven seconds left.
Sophomore Gabe Blair netted
acareer-high 19 points and added
Pirates sufter
tage until Shadasia Green Ts
Jumper took the Lady Monarchs
into the locker rooms with a
39-38 lead.
The Lady Pirates were down
despite shooting 60 percent
from the field and 50 percent
from beyond the arch. ODU
didn Tt fare much worse as the
Lady Monarchs shot 54 percent
from the field and forced ECU
to commit 19 turnovers, three
more than the Lady Pirates gave
up in their season opener against
Presbyterian.
After a close first half that
involved nine lead changes, Old
Dominion assumed control as
they stretched the lead to seven
points on a 6-0 run to start the
half. Jasmine Young Ts lay-up two
minutes into the period cut the
lead to five before T.J. Jordan Ts
fast-break basket capped off
another 6-0 run, extending the
lead to 11. After trading baskets,
Old Dominion Ts Jasmine Parker
took over, draining three con-
secutive three-pointers to put
her team up by 16. Showing
some life, ECU sparked an 8-0
run off a Lecoya Terry lay-up
that cut the lead down to eight,
at 63-55 with 8:42 remaining.
Jen Nuzzo Ts three-pointer ended
the run and ODU put the game
out of reach, scoring 12 unan-
12 rebounds for his fourth career-
double-double. James Legan was
the only other Pirate in double-
figures with 10 points.
oToward the end, I feel like we
didn Tt execute and get the buckets
we needed to get, ? said Legan,
who split time at guard with
Corey Farmer. oWe played hard
but they executed a little better
than we did. ?
Both ECU and Richmond
struggled to control the ball
throughout the game, resulting
in a staggering 26 turnovers for
each team.
oThe key to the game was
turnovers, ? said McCarthy. oWe
just turned the ball over too many
times. We equalized it a little bit by
playing aggressively, and making
them turnover the ball some. ?
A Blair bank shot on the low
block gave ECU a 59-56 lead with
2:30 to go in regulation before
Richmond equalized with a trey
from freshman Kevin Smith. Blair
put the Pirates back in front with
two free throws but Richmond
answered again with Dan Geriot,
a 6-foot-9 sophomore. Geriot,
who finished with 22 points and
10 boards, calmly tied the game at
61-61 with two free throws of his
own. The Pirates had a chance to
win in regulation with :01 left but
failed to get a shot off after the in-
bounds pass was deflected in front
of the ECU bench.
ECU entered the second half
trailing 34-27 but the Pirates would
take their first lead of the game, 38-
36, at the 16:25 minute mark behind
a Jenkins three-pointer.
With Jenkins and Young push-
ing the tempo, ECU widened the
lead to 50-40 with less than ten
minutes remaining. The Pirates
avoided any large runs but the Spi-
ders slowly crept back in the game,
benefiting from Geriot Ts versatility.
The Springfield, Pa. native stepped
outside the arch and nailed his
second three-pointer of the game
to trim the lead to 52-48.
As the teams traded blows,
Richmond used easy baskets and
free throws to make up the dif-
ference and ultimately set up the
Smith three.
Any hopes of avenging last
year Ts loss seemed bleak after ECU
fell behind 24-8 in the first half.
Richmond executed a Princ-
eton-style offense flawlessly in
the early stages. First year head
coach Chris Mooney brought the
Princeton-style offense with him
from Air Force, where the offense,
filled with backdoor cuts, became
a staple.
ECU adjusted to the offense
and began a furious comeback
started by a barrage of three-point-
ers from Jenkins and Legan to
bring the lead to 28-19.
oThey are very much a
rhythm based offense, ? McCar-
thy said of Richmond. oWe got
them out of their rhythm by
changing the defenses, pressing
a little bit and playing a little
bit of zone, which I thought was
very successful. ?
Sophomores John Fields and
Brandon Evans each split a pair
of free throws to narrow the lead
to 34-27 before halftime.

swered points to stretch the
lead to 24 points, their largest
lead of the night. The final score
of the game was 88-66; a score
not indicative of how close and
competitive the game remained
until the closing minutes.
The Lady Monarchs T bench
outscored ECU Ts 49-16, with
Jasmine Parker contributing
14 and Jessica Canady adding
a team-high 18 points. ECU Ts
freshmen, who combined for
33 points off the bench in the
season-opener, were held in
check to a combined seven points
as Allison Spivey did not dress
for the game.
The Lady Monarchs shot 55
percent from the field compared
to ECU's 48 percent and made §
seven three-pointers, five of which § :
came late in the second half when g
ODU needed them most. The ¢|,
Lady Monarchs out-rebounded
ECU 35-97, and turned the ball
over 29 times in a game where
neither team was able to hold onto
the ball. ECU Ts starting guards
Jasmine Young and Lacoya Terry
combined for 16 turnovers and
11 assists, while Lauren Cochran
contributed a team-high 17
points, but finished with only two
rebounds. Rebounding and being
physical in the paint remains a
problem for the Lady Pirates, as
Freshman forward Kim Gay drives the ball against Old Dominion.
Terry was the lone player to crack
5 rebounds. With only six second
chance points and 16 points off
the fast break, ECU will have to
rely on better play down low to
win games. :

football, it is eleven guys doing
it right every time. ?
Junior defensive lineman Khalif
Mitchell has watched as a defensive
unit that he is a huge part of has
gone from being the toast of the
town to one of the worst defenses
statistically in C-USA.
oI just hope we grow. up
and act more mature about
where we are at, ? said Mitchell.
oWe were number one but we
weren't playing like a number
- one team should play. You have
to execute perfectly and shut
teams down. ?
oWe didn Tt play like a
number one team [vs. Mar-
shall] and I think that Ts from a
lack of growing up. I think we
really just need to clamp down
and be like this is football, this
is what we do T. ?
While the defense has had
their fair share of trouble so far
this season, the offensive had
been motoring along as a seem-
ingly unstoppable unit up until
last week against Marshall.
Now this week the offensive
unit is also working to take
strides to become more consis-
tent according to sophomore
quarterback Rob Kass, who has
thrown for over 950 yards and
six touchdowns this year.
oWe have to work on our
third down conversions, ? said
Kass. oIt has been the one
thing, even in our success,
that has been not as successful:
We've had our. opportunities.
We've had throws, we Tve had
drops, we've had broken tackles
hear and there, but we need to
become more consistent as an
offense.
While the Pirates T were unable
to handle to pressure against Mar-
shall, Kass admits that it Ts a tough
task being on top.
oIt Ts tough being on top
with a bull Ts-eye on your chest, ?
he said. oUCF has that opportu-
nity now and they have to win
out in order to go and play for
the conference championship,
That is a tough burden to bear.
We really feel that as long as
we go out and take care of our
business that hopefully it will
fall into our hands. ?

Terry Holland receives
prestigious honor
Recognized for use of
sports aS a means to
educate
KINGSTON, R.I. --- ECU
Director of Athletics Terry Hol-
land has been named one of the
o100 Most Influential Sports
Educators ? by the Institute for
International Sport, according
to an announcement made by
the organization. :
Executive Director Dan
Doyle administered a series of |
ocoach and athlete ? surveys for T
his forthcoming book, oThe
Encyclopedia of Sport Parent- 9)
ing, ? and directed the institute
to come up with the list of the
100 Most Influential Sport Edu-
cators in America and 15 Most
Influential Sports Education
oTeams ? in America. The core
criterion for selection in each
category was the effective use of
" sport as a means to educate. The
project took years to complete.
oIn America and in many
other countries, we honor elite
athletes, winning coaches,
wealthy team owners and media
moguls. We praise sports educa-
tors yet we really do not honor
them in a manner befitting their
admirable impact on society, ?
said Doyle. oThis project is
aimed at honoring individuals
and organizations who have
creatively and effectively. used
sport in the very best way - as
a means to educate and shape
positive values, ? he concluded.
From the time the Institute
Holland celebrates ECU Ts dramtic win over UNC with coach Holtz.
announced the project in 2004,
the organization received over
1500 nominations for individu-
als and oteams ?. After reducing
the list to 200 individual final-
ists and 30 oteam ? finalists,
the Institute appointed a final
selection committee made up of
coaches, athletic administrators,
Journalists and academicians.
David Bloss, former Sports
Editor of the Providence Jour-
nal, chaired the committee.
Holland has been involved
with collegiate athletics for five
decades dating back to his bas-
ketball playing days at Davidson
College in the mid-1960s. He
got his start in coaching at
Davidson as an assistant coach
before being elevated to the head
position. From there, he went
on to guide the University of
Virginia's program where he
spent 16 years on the sidelines.
In all, Holland completed his
coaching career with a total of
418 wins in 21 seasons.
After retiring from coach-
ing in 1990, Holland returned
to Davidson to become its ath-
letics director, but five years
later, he was back at Virginia
to take on the athletics director
duties there. He served in that
capacity until his retirement in
2001 before being introduced
as athletics director at ECU
in 2004.
BBALL continued from AlO
oWe did battle back, ? said
McCarthy. oWe really played
hard and played together. I saw a
lot of good things, but Iam very
disappointed with the loss. ?
Consecutive heartbreak-
ing losses to former CAA rival
Richmond are hard to swallow
but Blair doesn Tt believe the
team Ts confidence is suffering.
oThis game isn Tt going to
affect the rest of our season, ?
he said. oWe Tre not going to
take one game and have it
affect us the rest of the season.
We are going to push every
new game. We are going to
play hard and try to win every
one of them. ? :
EGU returns to action -
on Saturday against Liberty,
another foe from the state of
Virginia with a track record
of beating the Pirates. Tip-off
is scheduled for 7 p.m. inside
Minges Coliseum.
