THE EAST CAROLINIAN Volume 78 Number 16 October 3, 2001 photograph from the ECU News Bureau Out-of-state students hit by increase DENNIS MITCHELL ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The North Carolina General Assembly voted to enact a tuition increase to cope with the state budget problems. According to Senator Ed Warren, the legislature was faced with a number of challenges in developing this years budget. For starters a slowing economy and the cost of recovering from Hurricane Floyd left North Carolina with a shortfall of more than $500 million, said Warren. According to Charles Hawkins, associate vice chancellor for finan- cial services, the General Assembly increased tuition by five percent. We thought this was going to be an across the board increase, said Hawkins. The State decided to put the increase onto the out-of-state students. Hawkins said that the university was already over the market for out- of-state tuition. The increase will make it hard for us in the out-of-state market, Hawkins said. According to Hawkins, ECU received several budget cuts to ease the states budget woes. We were expecting some cuts because our enrollment dropped last year below our expected amount of students, Hawkins said. The state had allotted us a certain amount of money for our expected number of students, since the actual amount was lower they had to decrease the amount they gave us this year. According to Hawkins, because of the expected cuts, ECU put a freeze on some of the State Personnel Act job openings. When some position came open we kept them on hold until the budget was passed, Hawkins said. We did not fill about 23 positions. According to Hawkins, no faculty or staff member had to be laid off because the university acted early. Hawkins said that ECU had to also aide in the increase to help with some of the cuts handed down by NC legislators. We had to increase tuition four percent, Hawkins said. According to Hawkins, increases had to be made to help the university stay operational. We can manage on our present budget if we watch our spending, Hawkins said. Senior Orlanda Rouse said that he finds the increase excessive. Its a bit much considering that it seems tuition has been going up ever since I have been here, Rouse said, Freshman Irene Lartey agreed. T dont think it is necessary that tuition was increased, Lartey said. Tt was already high enough. Hawkins said that since the state is under the balance budget act they must balance the budget.

Executive branch attends ASG meeting Number of school days, tuition freeze main topics for SGA participants ANGELA HARNE NEWS EDITOR Members of the Student Government Association (SGA) executive branch attended the first Association of Student Governments (ASG) meeting in Chapel Hill last weekend. According to Michael Orr, senior class president, ASG is working on a two-year tuition freeze. We are drafting a resolution for the General Assembly and Board of Governors because of the ridiculous increases we have seen in the past, Orr said. Orr said the ECU SGA plans on researching the tuition freeze process thoroughly to bring more knowledge to ASG. In addition to the freeze, Orr said ASG discussed a resolution to decrease the number of school days from 150 to 140. If passed, Orr said the extra 10 days will more than likely be divvied between spring semester and summer session one, and summer session two and fall COX semester. I think the odds of it passing are good, Orr said. The faculty senate at UNC-Chapel Hill passed a similar resolution and the ECU faculty supports it. It will be beneficial to everyone. Not only will the students get an extra break, but the professors will also. Orr said the resolution will be voted on at the next ASG meeting. According to Orr, ASG passed a credit card protection act. Orr said the act enables the UNC-system to provide classes for freshmen on how to avoid credit card debt. Orr said the act also requires student credit card holders to have a parent/guardian co-signer. Students are now required to get their parents permission and signature before they up their credit limit, Orr said. Executive board members in attendance said the meeting was enjoyable. IL enjoyed meeting the other SGA presidents and representatives, said Teresia Paul, recruitment chair of the SGA executive branch. Ernest Daily, philanthropy chair of the SGA executive branch, agreed. T look forward to attending the next meeting, Daily said. According to Orr, participation was high. Orr said 13 of the 16 N.C. universities attended. Elizabeth City State, NC Central and UNC-Charlotte could not attend. The next ASG meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 3 in Charlotte. ASG is the collaboration of all 16 universities within the North Carolina system. Each university is allotted four voting representatives; the student body president and three members for the executive or legislative branch. i SGA President Sadie Cox could not be contacted for comment.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN Concerned Americans drop off flags and flowers to a Fire Station one Graduate tells tale of NYC experience, life after Sept. 17 ANGELA HARNE NEWS EDITOR Robert Lewis, a 1997 ECU graduate, went to New York to find a job, but instead aided in the World Trade Center cleanup stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. I was planning to go to New York to meet with companies and turn in resumes, but after the attack | knew no one would be in the mood to interview me. But I still decided I would go to the city and help, Lewis said. I wanted to help out. It was the appropriate thing to do ... its human nature. Lewis said when he arrived in New York he immediately volunteered with the Red Cross. I worked in the shipping and receiving part of the Brooklyn chapter. I assisted the volunteers in the wreckage and went to shelters supplying food and other needed supplies, he said. According to Lewis, the atmosphere was eerie to say the least. While I was in New York, the doors to the Trade Center were still standing. It looked like a tornado had gone through. It was hard to believe and a lot different then TV, said Lewis. According to Lewis, the city has changed since the terrorist attacks. The people are very friendly and more polite, he said. There is a lot of patriotism also. American flags are everywhere. Lewis said his experience was one that no one could prepare for. The volunteers expressed mixed emotions. | could tell by their facial expressions that they were tired, but very dedicated. It has to be devastating to them, in the wreckage, and all that theyve seen. This is going to change their lives forever, said Lewis. Lewis also said his time in New York was a learning experience. Im now more appreciative of what I have.

Volunteer supplies were available at a Red Cross tent in Brooklyn. important, he said. Lewis said the terrorist attacks have brought people together. We are reuniting as a nation, and I pray for the families. We must stand behind the president and his mission so that justice is served, said Lewis. Lewis said the cleanup would probably last at least another six months. He said the Brooklyn chapter is looking for volunteers. Currently they have about 1,800. Lewis volunteered from Sept. 19-23. He received his degree in marketing and business and served his senior year as the philanthropy chair on the Student Government Association.

GA selects lawyer to aid students Romary re-appointed through careful process CLIFF SHERMAN STAFF WRITER The SGA executive branch selected an attorney to represent the university on a monthy contract. Peter Romary was re-appointed to the position by the SGA through a careful process last week. According to SGA Treasurer Fred Moreno, the decision is not official as the contract is still in the devel- opmental process. Romary seems very eager and accepting about the proposed con- tract, Romary said. The contract is a year-to-year agreement, which is different than in the past. Prior to this proposed agreement, the standard contract for a university attorney has been five years. The SGA decided the five- year contract has proven to be too long and costly. They are hoping the new yearly contract will encourage more commitment on the part of the attorney. The length of the term is not the only aspect of the contract that has been altered. The pay rate has been cut from one thousand dollars per month to six hundred dollars per month, excluding the summer months of June, July and August. Romary himself proposed the cut in pay. Being that the budget is very tight, one could understand why a pay increase would help out. Being a pro-bono lawyer is not about the money. I do this job for the university to keep in touch with the commu- nity and to help out the students, Romary said. Romarys duties toward the uni- versity and students are to give legal advice and aid to undergraduate and graduate students. He will also be involved with the SGA in aiding the organization with contract advice and other questions of legality. Moreno said students are encour- aged to take advantage of the uni- versity attorney for any form of legal advice. Though, the university lawyer cannot represent a student, he may advise them on all types of legal matters and answer questions as needed. According to Moreno, Romary has been selected because of his experience and commitment. see LAWYER page A2 Peter Romary, attorney at law, goes over paperwork in his office. He will be available to students to aid them in court issues this year.

College preparation starts early, involvement raises ANGELA HARNE NEWS EDITOR The Allied Black for Leadership and Equality (ABLE) organization started a pre-college program for interested high school students in the area. According to Ernest Daily, vice president of ABLE, the program is suited for average students. Daily said the program will pro- vide information about college, financial aid and the admissions process. According to Daily, J.H. Rose High School is currently participating. We are hoping for the future workshops that D.H. Conley and North Pitt High Schools will work with us also, Daily said. Daily said future workshops will focus on college aspects; like the transition period from high school to college, leadership, time manage- ment and resume writing. Teresia Paul, president of ABLE, said the mission of the pre-college program is to map out the years to A\AROSS and fears associated with college. According to Paul, the program is designed to aid in the application process to colleges throughout the United States, and not just ECU. We would love for all the students to come here, but we are not sure if all of them want to. We are hoping to recruit many to help with the retention. Many minority students chose not to come here, and we are hoping to change that, The campus usually she said.

Many of our participants arent seniors, so we want to target them and get them on the right path so they can get into college, said Paul. According to Paul, ABLE plans to hold at least five more workshops. We want to give the students a tour, show them how to fill out a college application, how to write the college essay for the application and stress the importance of keeping up their GPA, Paul said. According to Daily, the program was organized after teachers from several local high schools called saying their students were interested in the campus activities and wanted to get involved. The campus usually doesnt include the community in many activities. So we saw a need for an inclusive event for both the campus and community, Daily said. Paul agreed. T hope the program shows the students that we care. I know when I was coming to college I had a lot of unanswered questions, like how to get financial aid.

I also hope it will eliminate some of the tension (UWITRE) James Madison Uni- versity-Students traveled to Wash- ington, D.C., Saturday to take part in the first national anti-war marches since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Thousands of young protesters came from across the nation to dis- pute and march against war. The rally was generally a peaceful display against military retaliation, spoiled by only three arrests and some fights, said police officials, according to a September 30 Washington Post article. Junior Progressive Coalition member, Jenny Schockemoehl, was one of many who traveled to D.C. to march. Its really important to mobilize and have a demonstration against war, Schockemoehl said. We hope this demonstration will show our government that its people do not want to fight. The first march started at 9 a.m. at Union Station and was sponsored by the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (ACC). According to ACC Web site www.abolishthebank.org, it is an organization that stands for direct action against the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meet- ings. They defend anarchy and global action, stating these organizations do nothing but hurt the poor and middle-class people while aiding the elite, according to the Web site. In an act to promote anarchy, the ACC did not get a permit for their march, requiring police to escort protesters as they walked. A second march, sponsored by the International Action Center (IAC), started at noon at the Freedom Plaza on 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It was originally scheduled to start at the White House. However, President George W. Bush decided that no protests should take place in that vicinity during a 30-day period. According to the IAC Web site www.iacenter.org, this proposal was an effort by the Bush administration Bush approves anti-laliban aid, prepares to reopen Reagan National WASHINGTON (AP) -President George W. Bush has approved plans to help groups inside Afghanistan that oppose the terrorist-harboring Taliban militia and to aid Afghan refugees fleeing to neighboring Paki- stan, U.S. officials said Monday. The government also plans to announce later this week the reopen- ingof Washingtons Reagan National Airport, the only airport still closed after the September 11 terrorist attacks, said a senior administration official. But the airport, close to many national landmarks, will reopen under vastly tightened security, including limits on flights and requir- ing armed air marshals on those flights, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Nearly three weeks after the dev- astating attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani appealed to the world community to not give in to terrorism. The United States must hold accountable any country that sup- ports or condones terrorism or you will fail in your primary mission as peacekeepers, Giuliani told rep- resentatives from more than 150 countries gathered at the United Nations. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, meanwhile, declared Americas armed forces ready for the war on terrorism. He spoke at a ceremony honoring Army General Henry Shelton, who is retiring as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As part of the repositioning of U.S. forces, the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk left its base near Tokyo Monday. Navy spokesman, Hidemi Nagao, said the carrier was participat- ing in the campaign against terrorists, but declined to elaborate and would not say where it was going. The Kitty Hawk steamed out of Yokosuka September 21 on an undis- closed mission but returned Sunday. On Monday, administration offi- cials said Bush has approved new relief aid to prevent unrest in Paki- stan as thousands of refugees flee Afghanistan. The New York Times reported that the package would amount tol00 million dollars, but White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the dollar figure was still uncertain. Separately, Bush approved a plan to provide covert aid to anti-Taliban groups operating inside Afghanistan, administration officials said. The Taliban have been harbor- ing Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, whom the United States suspects of masterminding the terror attack. Fleischer declined to say which groups would receive U.S. support. The purpose of the mission is to eliminate those who harbor terrorists. ... We will work with a variety of people, all of whom have an interest in establishing an Afghani- stan that is peaceful and does not practice terrorism, Fleischer said.

Yet while educated about we continue to be hopeful for healing in our country --indeed, for the whole world, time a deadly marches on. disease that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness will kill 40,000 Month. It is a time to become educated about a deadly disease that the American Cancer women in the Society estimates say will kill 40,000 women in United States the United States in 2001. in 2001. Though it is often classified as such, make no mistake, breast cancer isnt a womens issue. 1,500 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the US. this year and 400 will die from the disease. Add to that the number of men who will lose someone they love to the disease and it become obvious that this killer knows no gender boundaries. How amazing would it be if our country could come together in support of this cause, just as we've come together to show our American pride when our country was attacked? How awesome would it be if we could all raise not only awareness but also funds to help fight this disease that strikes men and women, young and old? If you're wearing an American flag pin on your lapel or red, white, and blue ribbons to show support for our country, how about adding a pink ribbon to show your support for breast cancer awareness, research, and funding to find a cure? In the past few weeks, stores around the country have had trouble keeping patriotic pins, ribbons, and flags on shelves as we've all proudly supported our nation at this critical and frightening time in our history. Perhaps its time to make pink ribbons the new hot item and add awareness of this killer to our list of battles to fight. Come on --sport a pink ribbon. For your wife, your mother, your sister, your girlfriend, your best friend . .. or maybe for yourself. Let's raise awareness. Let's find a cure. TEC encourages all students to take an active role in the Before you get CONNIE LAUERMAN Scarcely a day passes when were not bombarded with media reports of medical studies-from the alleged effects of cell phones and apple-shaped bodies to shocking data about the possible dangers of vitamin C or still another worrisome report about hormone-replacement therapy. How can a person make sense of this media overload? For starters, dont get all worked up. Ascertain what kind of study researchers conducted, the size of the sample of participants and who conducted the study, where it was published and how it was funded. Consistency of evidence is important, said Dr. Philip Greenland, chairman of the department of pre- ventive medicine at Northwestern University Medical School. If you have a large number of studies that all show the same thing and one study seems to contradict everything else, you should ask yourself how likely it is that 20 stud- ies are wrong and this one is right. It defies logic. Medical studies generally fall into the following categories: Observational studies relate peo- ples lifestyles to the diseases they develop. The majority of evidence linking smoking and lung cancer, for example, has come from observa- tional studies. Its obvious why we couldnt do clinical trials, Greenland said. Its clearly viewed as an unethical thing to do if we believe this is a risky exposure. How can we justify exposing people to it? Lear Dear Editor: I would like to salute the ECU football team for a very impressive showing at Syracuse this past week- end. Yes, the team looked much better on the playing field than they had in their earlier contests this season. But it was their conduct off the field that really showed their mettle.

First, you must identify and understand the primary and sec- ondary mover(s) of the compound would obviously cause problems and would label them weak links in the movement. In any compound exercise, weak links are generally thought of as being muscles lacking sufficient with food, calories or recipes. Bulimia is defined by a cycle of binge eating followed by purging to try and rid the body of unwanted calories. A binge is different for all individuals. For one person a binge weight gain.

In the case of the bench strength to help keep form in the press the primary mover is the pectorals major (chest); and the secondary movers are the triceps and deltoids (back of arms and exercise kinesthetically correct. These weak links can either take the form of the primary or secondary mover(s), and need to be identified to | had the strangest dream last night shoulders). These secondary movers also act as stabilizing muscles, instrumental in maintaining proper form. This fact is one of the pri- mary components in the next topic, maintaining proper form. In a compound exercise, such as the bench press, maintaining proper form is important in effectively working the primary mover. In order to maintain proper form, the secondary muscles must work to alleviate part of the resistance from the primary mover and in the case of the bench press, stabilize the movement of the arms. Basically, the idea is that the primary mover in a compound exercise is the muscle allow for the successful completion of the movement. In our example of the bench press, weakness in the deltoids and triceps would directly effect ability to control the weight, and maintain a smooth linear move- ment. An example of this would be bringing the bar down and touching the chest in various places on each rep, as opposed to bringing the bar down to the same point on the chest and rising back up along the path it descended. Attention should be paid to any secondary muscles that experience significant soreness the day after performing a compound movement. This would mean that Dream analysis and interpretation for the beginner WHITNEY RUSSELL FEATURES WRITER Sigmund Freud once said, The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the uncon- scious activities of the mind. Everyone dreams, according to E.J. Barteks Dream-analysis for Self- analysis and the Association for the Study of Dreams (ASD). Rapid Eye Movement (REM) studies have of brain wave activity. During the sleeping state, the mind can see and record dreams. Although physical reasons for dreaming are understood, the emo- tional and mental causes are less clear. There are quite a few theories behind the causes of dreaming. People tend to believe in what they experience during dreams. Many students, like Megan Styron, senior management major, are unsure of the theory that holds true for them. 1 think they have something to do with the subconscious, Styron said. Many experts and researchers agree. In Joseph Weiss article, Dreams may also have difficulty remember- ing a dream if he or she has not had immediate stresses. Almost everyone who believes in the effects of dream analysis advocates keeping a pen and paper or a tape recorder beside the bed. Waking up slowly, without focusing on the upcoming day, is also a key to remembering dreams. The skill of recalling a dream takes effort and improves, generally, from remembering a dream in pieces, to recalling an entire dream com- pletely and clearly.
