THE EAST CAROLINIAN Volume 78 Number 21 October 11, 2001 pammespeneecee rages ureceecrsetean aS Hoes cisy Ceiae photograph by Casey Meyer THE EAST CAROLINIAN ~ Bombings in Afghanistan not close enough to home for major response ANGELA HARNE NEWS EDITOR The Sept. 11 terrorist attack on America left the nation confused, shocked and vulnerable. President Bush complemented an action plan for about one-month before bombings began in Afghanistan Sunday. Today mark's one-month since the attacks and the nation is trying to get back to normalcy. Students, faculty and staff share their concerns, feelings and opinions. "On the surface lives have sorta gone back to normal, said Rev. Scott Wilkinson of the Methodist Student Center. "Right after the attack I received a lot of questions as to what it meant. Participation grew, but lately I'm seeing a decline. |] think many students had put their studies on hold, and know they're realizing they've got to buckle-down. Many were stuck to the television, and 1 think they realized it wasn't healthy, so now they're focusing on other things to get their mind off of the event." According to Wilkinson, the bombings in Afghanistan have not caused much student reaction. "T think on Sept. 11 we went through so much anxiety and stress that we're not ready for more. It's possible that many have put the bombings out of their mind because they are not exactly affected, he said. Senior David Alisbrook, a member the Baptist Student Union, agreed. "Since the bombings began I have not seen much difference since everything began on Sept. 11. There's more participation and our Bible sessions are bigger. | think many are coping well, said Allsbrook. Sadie Cox, student government association (SGA) president agreed. "Spirits seem to be better, but you can still tell that things are not the same," said Cox. "As far as the bombings go, I think many students are against it. I think the chalk writings around ae are a healthy way for them to express themselves." Aside from chalk writings, the university has offered several forums to discuss emotions and terrorism. According to Garrie Moore, vice chancellor of Student Life, students are "extremely appreciative" of the forums. "I've seen the students embrace the issue and each other. They've truly showed they care for each other by lending a helping hand," said Moore. Nell Lewis, director of the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center, agreed. "I think the university, as a whole, has been promptly responsive to the issues that the attack has created," Lewis said. "Our campus community is extremely close- knit and supportive of each other and the external community." Terror takes toll Attack on America keeps some students grounded LINDSEY ORTEL STAFF WRITER As students anxiously wait the adjourning of classes Friday, marking the beginning of fall break, many are nervous about traveling because of the recent events that took place in our country. "1 am staying in North Carolina during fall break, but if I was to go home to New York I would choose to drive," said sophomore Dante Robinson. "I would not feel safe to fly." Sophomore Laurel Proctor dis- agreed with the safety issues and said she is planning on flying across the country to Arizona to visit her boyfriend. "Tam a little nervous about flying, but I think that now is a safer time to fly than before because of the tightened security at airports, said Proctor. The heinous terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 were the beginning of a ripple effect that spread across our nation and altered "normal" life. Junior Megan Beale said that she would have felt comfortable to fly before our country began to bomb Afghanistan. She said she fears retali- ation and other attacks similar to the ones in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. "T will eventually fly again, but not right now," said Beale. According to The Los Angeles Times, hotels, resorts and airline company profits have plunged to record lows; an unusual event for this time of theyear when travel and Lewis said, in addition to open communication, the professionals of the university of are working closely with Chancellor William Muse to make sure that the campus remains aware of any new issues or concerns that may occur in response to the terrorist attacks. Lynn Roder, director of the Center for Counseling and Student Development, said the center is available for students. "It is normal for to feel anxious. | recommend that students talk to their friends. If they find that they are having trouble functioning, like sleeping and eating, they should come taik to us," Roder said. Students that need to talk about their emotions, feelings or concerns can call the Center for Counseling and Student Development at 328-6661. Extended hours are available.

Aside from air travel, students Participants define race, racism ELIZABETH CARWELL STAFF WRITER Visionaries, for the Ongoing Involvement in the Cultivation of Equality (VOICE) continued their on-campus study circle on race rela- tions at ECU and in Pitt County this week. Denisha Harris, co-president of VOICE, said the main objective of the forum is to begin dialogue on race relations in Pitt County because change and action can only begin with dialogue. According to Harris, issues dis- cussed this week included defining race and racism and sharing different views on why these abstract concepts permeate our society. Due to confidentiality issues on the topics discussed, participants E could not be interviewed. Though according to Harris, some members said they feel that racism and prejudice go both ways and that prejudice will exist as long as it is taught, not just verbally, but by modeling in the community. Harris said she and other group members feel that it is difficult to understand others life experiences, so open discussion is the best way to help achieve understanding. "The truth will set you free, said Harris. Nell Lewis, director of the Ledo- nia Wright Cultural Center agreed. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free," Lewis said. Lewis said that she is pleased the cultural center is one of the sites for the roundtables. "| think the roundtables are a wonderful exchange on a very infor- mal level to find a common ground of thinking and feeling for those of different backgrounds," she said. According to Harris, there are nine roundtable groups across Pitt County meeting to discuss race rela- tions. The groups will meet for five two-hour sessions to discuss issues surrounding race relations. At the end of the study, each group will come up with a list of statements and a plan of action to initiate more cultural awareness in the city. Harris said an example of this may be a new cultural center and museum in downtown Greenville. The roundtables are a continua- tion of the Coffee in the Kitchen (CITK) program, which discussed race relations.

Monday, many students are won- dering who and what will be bombed next. Sara Sealine, an undecided fresh- man, said she learned of the bomb- ings Sunday from her roommates parents when she returned from church. While she said the bombings were not a surprise, she expected some type of U.S. retaliation to the September 11 attacks that caused her to reflect on the magnituce of the attacks. Its people. Its human beings. Its their lives, she said. Chaney Ferguson, also an unce- cided freshman, said she was sur- prised, but now is concerned about what will happen next. T just wanted to go back to church, she said. Its their move now. We've done something tothem, and now its their turn. Sealine and Fergusons reactions are similar to many students at Louisiana State University. Andrew Halphen, a kinesiology junior, said he also is concerned where the next attack will be. Its kind of scary because you never know where theyre going to hit, he said. There are places around here they could hit that are importanttous. For example, Exxon/Mobil, a major oil supply for the country, is located in Baton Rouge, he said. Jeanine Magne, a psychology sophomore, said she has friends in the U.S. Marines and does not want to see them called to fight. 1 think we had to bomb Afghan- istan, she said. But 1 dont want to live through war and see it. Sean Flory, a graduate student in English, who also has friends in the military, said he hoped the United States would wait longer before retaliating to make sure they knew where and whom they were and get a head start on a rewarding career Healthcare is a growing and exciting career field.

University Health Systems is affiliated with the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, uhseast.com The student said that the sus- pects did not say anything to him before hand. It was a random act of violence, Williams said. According to Williams, the stu- dent was transported to Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH) with cuts, abrasions and swelling around his right eye. According to Melissa Bartlett, public relations officer of Greenville police department, about 20 minutes after the on-campus assault, two more similar attacks were reported off-campus. Bartlett said the first occurred on Second and Eastern Streets where four 14-year-olds were injured by four to five black males. The second incident occurred on Third and Lewis Streets where four black males attacked a 26-year-old male. According to Bartlett, the 26-year-old told police that he was bombing. They had to retaliate whether theyre doing it the right way I dont know, he said. While students are concerned about the dangers of living through wartime, many felt it was important for President Bush to retaliate as he said, instead of continuing to make threats. 1 think it was a good thing, said Kelvin Flory, an accounting sophomore. They hit us, so we got to hit them. Laura Bileci, a mass communica- tion freshman, said she feels like the United States is fighting fire with fire. The terrorists killed innocent people here and by bombing, we will probably kill innocent people there, she said. repeatedly punched. Bartlett said the victims received minor injuries, not resulting in hospitalization. The victims told police the sus- pects were driving two cars, includ: ing a red Pontiac Grand Am and a black Acura Legend. Detective Steve Pass of the Greenville police department is heading the investigation into the two off-campus assaults. Pass said that currently no one is in custody. He said he plans to re-interview the victims. As the investigation continues 1opefully we can determine the assailants, Pass said.

We have to be really careful that A) we protect ourselves and B) we do not become what they are, which is terrorists, said Colby Cypriano, an international trade and finance sophomore, For example the United States should not kill civilians and should continue dropping food and sup- plies into Afghanistan, she said. its important that the govern- ment goes after the Taliban and not the people of Afghanistan, Cypriano said. Candace Hamilton, a mass com- munication sophomore, also said she felt it was important to send aid to the people of Afghanistan. Hamilton said she agrees with. the bombing, but believes the U.S government should not send groun troops. Extra, extra read all about it...

SCOOBY trom page 1 who did the voice of Scooby since the cartoon began. The original voice for Shaggy was disc jockey, Casey Kasem. Since the early 1980s, Innes had struck up a friendship with Messick, his idol since childhood. As a teenager, Innes hosted a radio show in Poplar Bluff and cailed to put Messick on his show. After College dropout job to CEO status WILLARD, Ohio (AP) -When Cory Washburn ran out of money, he decided he had no choice in 1992 but to drop out of Heidel- berg College in Ohio. He got a job delivering and then making pizzas. Now Washburn, 31, is chief executive officer of the pizza company that gave him a job. In August, he became East of Chicago Pizza Co.s first CEO. After leaving college, | wasnt sure exactly what | wanted to do,he said. A friend of a friend was becoming the manager of a new East of Chicago store in the Tiffin Mall (Tiffin, Ohio), and he said, Maybe you can buy some time before you decide what youre going to do. At that time, the pizza chain was still in the formative stage. Founder and owner L. Scott Granneman had opened his second pizza restaurant in the northern Ohio town Willard, about 50 miles west of Cleveland, when he remembered that early in his foodservice career a Customer had told him that his pizza was the best pizza east of Chicago. Granneman used that com- ment to name his company, which began franchising in 1991. Washburn found out that he liked the pizza business and decided he was with a company he could grow with. TY called the president of the company. I was very ambitious that, Innes inaugural interview every time he started a job at a new radio station was with Messick. The two eventually performed interviews in character, Messick as Scooby and Innes as Shaggy. Messick told him, Dont let the people at Hanna-Barbera know you do that voice, I'll lose my gig, Innes says. rides entry-level and I said | thought this company had a real formula for success. I really wanted a chance, Wash- burn said. Now, looking back, it seems. a little odd. He (Granneman) had met me but didnt know me real well. But he said, Keep learning, and we'll keep our eye on you. Washburn soon got his chance. A new franchisee, John Adams, began training at the Tiffin restaurant with plans to open a Fremont location. Wash- burn teamed. up with Adams and became manager of the new store. Tt was exciting because the franchisee had not really been involved with pizza before, Washburn said. J remember living there, practically, for the first four or five weeks, working seven days a week open to close. I certainly was exhausted. Toward the end of 1993, Washburn called Granneman again, and this time he received a corporate job offer. He was promoted to director of operations, traveling constantly helping open new East of Chicago restaurants. Last year, he was named the companys first vice president of operations. East of Chicago Pizza now operates more than 135 stores with more than 3,000 employees in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. But it took more than a friendship with Messick to land the job. Innes made a spoof of Alabama's song, Shagging on the Boulevard called Shaggy on the Boulevard, that became a hit on WYNK, the Baton Rouge radio station where Innes works, After much pestering from fans, Innes called Hanna-Barbera, the Madden 2002: MADDEN 2002 System: Sony PlayStation 2 Maker: EA Sports Available now (AP) -If there was a silver lining to the cloud surrounding the launch of the PlayStation 2, it was EA Sports, which managed to deliver a near- flawless game of football to PS2 coun- try while other companies offered up nothing but delays. A year later, not much has changed about the best football game ever made, except that it is better. Madden 2002 will feel extremely familiar to fans of last years game, but some subtle and not-so-subtle improvements make the game a most worthy second helping for anyone who remotely enjoys the game of football. First things first: The player models no longer stare straight ahead like zombies. For some reason that drove everyone crazy last year, so lets just get that out of the way. Little changes like this have been made all over the place, and Mad- dens overall presentation, while similar to its excellent predecessor, features plenty of new touches and gusto. Between-play cinemas and replays are more prevalent, actual NFL coaches roam the sidelines, and the whole package comes together, both visually and aurally, in a more seamless fashion than before. Many of these touches and improvements were on display in EAs recently released NCAA 2001, but while that game captured the college experience like lightning ina bottle, Madden presents the harsher pro game with more polish, more noise and less forgiveness. Everything about Madden, right down to the creator of Scooby-Doo, and played the song. Call it amazi g luck, Messick was retiring and H qna-Barbera was looking for a new voice of Scooby. The company hired Innes within a week. To be able to step into those paws, those are some big paws to fill, Innes says. near flawless in-game menus and play selection screens, feels sped-up and a little cold, and the on-field ac » i louder and much more raucous. Similarly, the announcing team of Pat Summeral and John Madden is less friendly than NCAAs trio, and Summerals painfully stiff delivery is authentic, but hard to endure. As far as game play is concerned Madden 2002 plays like a Madden game should play. The series has largely kept the same system for the past 11 years while changing everything around it, and this year is no exception. As usual, EA goes for realism over speed, and the control scheme, despite being busy, is easy to pick up and doesnt force you to perform any arcane button combinations. If youve played any Madden game on any system before, this one should feel like second nature after a game or two. Madden features exhibition and season play, as well as the best multiple-season dynasty mode in the business. The create-a-player. mode is back, and there are a large number of teams from which you can choose, including the current crop of NFL teams, the expansion Hous- ton Texans, the entire NFL Europe and many teams from the past five decades.
