ounderTs Day birthday party held on the mall
Pirates look forward to 100 more years
YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
Hundreds of students and a number of faculty and staff
came out to celebrate ECUTs 101st birthday with a party.
_ The event was a joint collaboration between the ECU
Ambassadors, Student Union, SGA and the Alumni Asso-
ciation.
This is. probably one-of the largest things that the
wtnians Association puts on,? said Rob Breiner, a member of
the ECU Ambassadors. The Ambassadors are always trying
to promote the tradition of our Mae aa and Founder's Day
is a tradition.?
_ It wasa nice cool spring ia as the event unfolded at four
in the afternoon.
Keri Brockett, the current president of the SGA, began
the event by ,
introducing two prominent historical figures in the
- universityTs history. |
Two students acting as Leo Jenkins and Robert Wright
~made an appearance at the celebration.
Jenkins and Wright both held leadership positions at the
university in the early years.
The Jenkins and Wright impersonators compared their
posts held at ECU, both including their Petey, as well ,
as JenkinsTs chancellorship.
They realized they shared a common drive in boosting
the growth and instituting change around sian during
their respected times. |
Following this, Brockett introduced Chancellor Ballard,
as wellasthe
Vice Provost for Student Affairs, Kermal Atkins, who
shared insight and comments about the years tocome.
We're projected to be at 30,000 students by 2015,? said
Atkins. Atkins also stressed to students to make a difference
on campus while
they still attend. -
Atkins as well as the Magnolia Belles, a singing group,
joined in singing Happy Brrengay as well as ECUTs Alma
Mater.

It is time for Hillary Clinton to explain

Congressman ~Butte field pledged hi
primary elections and the 2008 democratic
nomination may depend neay iy on the results
of the day.
One candidate has already set up office in
eastern NC in hopes of swaying residents to vote
on May 6. Senator Barack Obama opened up a
campaign office on 1 Evans Street in Greenville
this week. ,
Obama's presence spurred U.S. Rep. G.K.
Butterfield to pledge his support for the Sena-
tor. |
Butterfield, a democrat, is a representative of
the First Congressional District, which includes
Pitt County.
After 8 years of an administration we
haven't been able to trust, we need a leader
who will be straight with the American people.
That is why ITm supporting Barack Obama for
president of the United States of America,?
Butterfield said.
Butterfield also attacked Senator Hillary
ClintonTs remarks regarding her roles in foreign
and domestic policy. Butterfield gave examples
in which she has eager aed incidents and
the tide has turned.
He stated that N.C. will play a vital abT in
the determination of the democratic a3 esidential
candidate.
Additionally, Indiana will hold their pri-
mary on May 6, making the state another key
component in securing the nomination.
A win for Obama in Indiana could mean he
has begun to sway those that in the past have
been more likely to vote for Clinton. However,
if Clinton carries both NC and IN she may gain
the momentum needed to secure the nomina-
tion.
Such outcomes would be the primary-
season equivalent of breaking service in a tennis
match: a big momentum shift and a shift in the
balance of power,? said Democratic strategist
Ron Klain in a March 23 article published in
The Washington Post.

A familiar outcome of last -
yearTs elections occurred on
Wednesday night as the win-
ners for the SGA executive
branch were announced.
All of the candidates from
ticket one were chosen to rep-
resent the student body with
the exception of the secretary
candidate, Brittany Adams, who
is currently the SGA secretary.
Similar.results were
announced last year when
ticket two took the victory,
with the exception of their
secretary candidate.
The new executive branch
consists of Drew Griffin as
president, Bradley Congleton
as vice president, Beth Ann
Koury as secretary and Guil-
laume Bagal as treasurer.
Griffin, Congleton and
Bagal ran on ticket one
together while Koury was a
candidate on ticket three.
Although Adams didnTt take
the victory, she still expressed
optimistic views about the
outcome of the election.

We sanctioned several
violations and there were alot

Some of the violations
filed included campaigning

submitting expense reports

Regardless of the vio-

improvements made in the

only about 2,8000 students
voted while this year, the
number increased to 3,341.
Efforts were also made to
make sure that only students

be heard. Last year, faculty
had access to voting.

Students speak up about
downtown club discrimination
Photos. com
Bar manager addresses the issue
Greenville. ,
Students spoke of racial inequality, prejudice against those
in the military and seemingly flexible dress codes.
I have seen not only discrimination against guys who
have on long shirts, hats, white-I's and baggy pants, I have
also seen a certain amount of favoritism shown towards girls
who decide to dress in next to nothing and conduct themselves
in a manner that Im sure causes far more problems than the
guy with baggy pants, said Matt Wilson, senior.
Another form of discrimination that no one seems to
point out is sexual discrimination. Girls can go to any bar or
club they want and be charged no cover while the guys end
up paying full price or in some cases offsetting the cost of the
girls by paying more than the cover, Wilson said.
ITve been kept out of places because ~they were at capacity,
_ but the bouncer kept letting people in because he knew them,
said James Old, senior music performance major.
the club, Howell said.
Some clubs and bars currently enforce policies that attempt
to ensure fairness and these places strive to become positive
places for-students to spend their free time.
At 5" Street Distillery we re required by law to have our
customers carry membership cards, said Drew Chandler,
manager of 5" Street Distillery.
Its because were a private club and its free to become
a member.?
The membership cards must be shown at the door to gain
entrance to the club. This procedure could help reduce fights
downtown. :
Most fights occur after closing time, Chandler said. Those
fights happen roughly once a week, although smaller, less
important altercations occur more frequently.
_ ITm not sure about other clubs but as far as my own club.

years of fighting and counting
ELISE PHILLIP$S
FEATURES EDITOR
On Easter Sunday, while much of the United States was attend-
ing Easter services or romping around looking for hidden eggs,
the death toll of the current war in Iraq reached 4,000. This grave
milestone was reached after a blast from a makeshift explosive
device detonated near a vehicle in Baghdad, killing four military
personnel. The service men were patrolling a neighborhood when
the device exploded.
The four were killed just days after the five-year anniversary
of the start of the war in Iraq. President Bush ordered troops into
Iraq on March 19, 2003, and the costs of the war have mounted
since that day. According to cnn.com, the House Budget Commit-
tee has estimated that taxpayers have shelled out. approximately
$600 billion to fund the war over the past five years, not counting
the human toll of the war. According to The New York Times, 2007
proved to be the deadliest year in Iraq for U.S. soldiers. Approxi-
mately 29,000 U.S. soldiers have been wounded to date, and over
94,000 Iraqi casualities can be attributed to the current war.
As the war enters its sixth year, Bush remains resolute that occu-
pying the country is still in the best interest of the United States.
Our strategy going forward will be aimed at making sure that
we achieve victory and therefore America becomes more secure,T
said Bush in a statement on Monday.
However, he sent out sympathies to the grieving families around
the U.S.
On this day of reflection, I offer our deepest sympathies to their
families,? he said. I hope their families know that citizens pray for
their comfort and their strength, whether they were the first one
who lost their life in lraq or recently lost their life in [raq.?
-» Presidential ~candidates Hillary ~Clinton, Barrack Obama and
John McCain all had comments about the 4000 landmark as well.
It is past time to end this war that should never have been
waged by bringing our troops home, and finally pushing IraqTs
Bers to take responsibility for their future,? Obama stated in a
report that he sent out to the press about the 4000" death, accord-
ing to MSNBC.com.
Clinton has promised to bring the troops home as quickly and
responsibly as possible,? but McCain has kept with BushTs policy
that the war must go on.
It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our
character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi
people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleans-
ing, and possibly genocide that would follow a reckless, irrespon-
sible, and premature withdrawal,? said McCain to The World Affairs
Council in Los Angeles yesterday, according to cnn.com.
Currently approximately 158,000 troops still occupy Iraq but
that number is expected to drop to an estimated 140,000 by the
summer, according to an article by MSNBC.
While the war wages on, many Americans are wondering how
much longer the U:S. occupation of Iraq will be. The same day that
the death toll reached the iconic 4000, a fifth soldier was woundsT
according to cnn.com.
Americans also understand that the cost of the war to our
national security, military readiness and our reputation around the
world is immense and that the threat to our economy " as the war
in Iraq continues to take us deeper into debt " is unacceptable,?
said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an article by MSNBC.

The convenience of fast food has seduced
the busy family or college student count-

is not ever viewed as a sinister health
risk. Many people view healthy eating
at fast-food establishments as ordering a

required to post this grade in a location that

The sweat lodge ritual symbol of
Spirituality
CHELSEA CAMPEN
SLAP PAW RI TiR
The sweat lodge is a Native American tradi-
tion rich in symbolism which participants believe
cleanses and facilitates spirituality and healing.
The tradition of the lodge has been maintained
to the present and is still used today.
Essentially, a sweat lodge ritual is a ceremo-
nial sauna where participants pray, meditate or
play music.
There are several roles when the lodge is held,
that of water pourer and fire keeper. Water pour-
ers douse hot stones, often granite or soapstone
to make steam that heats the lodge. They also
direct the lodge ceremony. ,
The ~jobT of the water pourer is to connect
energetically with the participants in the lodge
so that if there is a problem it can be dealt with.
To lead the ceremony, it takes years to learn the
protocol. In the protocol there are definite musts
involved in each round,? said Nancy Pocklington,
a water pourer for the tradition.
The role of fire keeper is to tend to the fire
while others are in lodge and they deliver the hot
stones into the lodge. The fire keeperTs name is
also symbolic in nature.
The fire keeper is in charge of the energy of

the fire. The fire is important because it creates
the Spirit Trail into the lodge. This trail brings
in the healing energies needed, and when the
door is opened after a round, the energy from the
Lodge flows back out to the fire taking all the
prayers to Creator and transmuting the negative
energies that may be shed during the round,?
Pocklington said.
There are sweat lodges all over the world,
varying from tradition to tradition.
In Ireland they have lodges made of stone.
In South America the women who pour lodge sit
on little cane chairs,? Pocklington said.
Above all, the lodge is a purification cer-
emony, often fulfilling the function of cleansing
before another ceremony.
It is done before many other ceremonies to
cleanse and purify so that you bring the best to
the ceremony. There is always prayer,? Pock-
lington said. _
Sweating in the lodge detoxifies the body and also
provides the possibility of a spiritual experience.

Tim Butnam, manager of

states that in the past the Serve

the restaurants score, however,
they had not attend the class

some.refuse to take the Serve

~I mean 94 is the lowest

As we celebrate ECUTs centennial it is important to know some basic information about our UniversityTs
beginnings. From a modest teacherTs training school to a dynamic, national research university,
ECU has a colorful history.
© On March 8", 1907 East Carolina Teachers Training School was chartered.
¢ This charter was for a school that would train white males and females to become teachers in the North
Carolina school system.
¢ In May of 1907 a poll was taken to see whether Pitt County growl pass a $50,000 bond for the eencel At
this poll, a local farmer, Haywood Dail, took the ballots that had been marked with No? and chewed
them up and put them in his pocket, that way the bond was sure to pass.
e The proposal for the bill passed, which meant that Greenville would be proposed as the home of the East
Carolina Teachers Training School
¢ Greenville, along with 7 other cities presented ProeeN Se to the State Board of adluachts as Perspective
homes for the ECTTS on June 5'*
e On July 11" Greenville was declared to be the site of this ee with the approval of nearly the entire
state.
4h JUly.OF 1908, arsed bheaies ceremonies were ~held where the first four buildings were to be located.
¢ Inthe summer of 1909 faculty were hired for the start of classes.
¢ October 5, 1909 was the first day for enrollment"there were 104 women, 19 men, and 11 faculty
¢ June 11", 1911 was the graduation date of the first class
We began the centennial celebration with a birthday party in March 2007
to mark the 100th anniversary of the charter for our school.
_ Centennial celebrations will continue through 2009, commemorating
the two-year span of the schoolTs inception, building, and first day of class.

1846-1929.
Sallie Southall Cotten born June 13, 1846 was an advocate

She was the founder of the N.C. Federation of Women's
Clubs. Sallie began her career in 1893 when she was
appointed alternate lady manager? on the committee.

Some thoughts on war
ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER
The 1960s. Emerging from the peaceful and
idealistic time of the 50s, America was plunged
into the depths of free love and the mayhem of
Vietnam, and young men and women were doing
everything in their power to promote peace all
over the nation. I feel that they had the right
idea. .
While dancing to Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin,
Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon, the youth of
America tried to show that loving one another was
not a difficult task. Labeled hippies,? they spoke
out against the war and against the prejudices in.
our own country, and tried to show others that
the only things you need to be happy are to love.
and be loved by your fellow man.
Once again we find our country in the midst
of war, and people forgetting the importance of
acceptance and love. After experiencing the grief
of previous wars, why are Americans so apt to
promote warfare and fighting? Instead of show-
ing that our country can accept the differences.
in those we have labeled many infidels,? George
Bush has proclaimed that we are on a crusade and
has vowed to rid the world of its evil-doers!
Knowing that both the words infidel? and
crusade? carry religious connotations, our
beloved president proclaimed to rid the world of
those who believe differently than we. Not only
did he practically state that he is going to rid the
world of the Muslim faith (at least in the eyes of
those in the Middle East), but he paired that faith
with evil. If you were led to believe that someone
thought you were evil and was preparing a crusade
against you simply because you believe something
different, wouldn't you try to attack before being
attacked?
Whether either side is right or wrong, itTs
pointless to send our citizens to another country
to kill or be killed, when we have already wit-
nessed the frivolousness of war. Instead of trying
to resolve issues by fighting, which our parents
taught us solves nothing, shouldnTt we do more
to open the communication lines? No one wants
to listen when they feel that they'll be ridiculed,
therefore it is absurd to say that we have tried to
talk to our adversaries! | 3
A country that is impoverished, non-demo-
cratic, and non-Christian will believe that the only
way we will be peaceful with them is to press our
belief systems on them. Maybe they are happy the
way they are! ItTs understandable that they'll be on
the defensive, so until we can show a little more
compassion, we shouldn't expect them to act any
differently that we would if we felt someone was
trying to change us.
Understanding that those in Iraq may not be
evil-doers and maybe just regular people like us,
perhaps our countryTs higher-ups will open their
eyes and coexist. If we expect people to accept us
for our differences, we should also accept the dif-
ferences of others and not resort to war. Although
people in the 60s viewed their youth as souls lost
to the disillusioned idea that love can change the
world, maybe we should once again look back and
find the truth in that belief. In the words of John
Lennon and Yoko Ono, Give peace a chance.?

Paying for college
How much should parents help?
MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER
Undoubtedly, when people decide to have chil-
dren, an important factor is their ability to send that
child to college now that tuition is at an all-time
high. After deciding which college is most affordable,
some parents are faced with another decision: how
- much financial help should they give their child?
My parents decided to pay for my entire
tuition and a small monthly allowance that
covers part of my rent. Other expenses (utilities,
car payment, spending) I must pay for myself.
One of my best friends, Amber, pays her entire
tuition, fees and living expenses. Since we entered col-
lege, sheand I have both had jobs, mostly waiting tables.
On the other hand, I have friends who pay
~for nothing. Some of them receive virtually
_ unlimited funds from their parents. They haven't
had to work outside of school since they came
to college. Oh, there are a few who have picked
up occasional jobs for some extra cash, but
I still canTt help but think "It must be nice!"
As I'm finishing my third year at ECU, my
opinion is beginning to change. I am starting
to think realistically about life in the real world.
When I was a freshman, I resented my parents
for forcing me to work-and go to school because I
wasn~ able to attend every party or sporting event
when I knew they had the means for me to do so.
Amber pays her bills for a different
reason. Her parents do not have the means
to support her living expenses and tuition.
That said, I no longer resent my parents for
. their decision. If anything, I appreciate it more.
Having a job and paying bills has taught me respon-
sibility and kept me level-headed and organized.
It would be nice to stop worrying about money
_ and have my parents pick up the bill. I might be able
to spend more time studying and participating in my
education, but I canTt help but wonder how many of
those other students will really be ready for the pres-
~sures of "real life" and bills that come every month?

~ OPINION WRITER
I was flipping through the news the other
day when I happened to land on my favorite
source of ... well, let's say interestingly skewed
news. That's right, good old Fox News. The
same place that gives us Bill I can judge
others for their sexual exploits while telling a
girl I want her to rub falafel on me? O'Reilly
and a handy soap box for Ann: I don't need a
soap box because I'm eight feet tall and made
of bones and plastic? Coulter was covering
a story on a lawsuit filed against Starbucks.
Apparently, the company wasn't paying its
shift managers more than its baristas, so the shift
managers would share in the tip pool of the rest of
the employees, The lawsuit found that it was unlaw-
ful for the shift managers to do so because they
were the baristasT gratuities and for them alone.
_ That seems fair, right? Fox News appar-
ently didn't think so. Or, at least, their talking
piece for the moment didn't. He went on a rant
about how baristas don't deserve? the tips for
the coffee being so expensive, citing a five
dollar latte.? I usually just get a black coffee or
a green tea when I go to Starbucks, and when I
do, the price usually ends up around two bucks.
I can't imagine lattes being that much more.
Still, that isn't the point. The baristas don't
set the prices, and people who give their busi-
ness to Starbucks choose to do so. NobodyTs
holding a gun to their head, making them get
their coffee at Starbucks instead of at home.
Unfortunately, the act of tipping seems to be
_ a dying habit. From Steve BuscemiTs rant as Mr.
Pink in Reservoir Dogs on how he doesnTt believe
in tipping, to the modern excuse of I canTt afford
it,? there always seems to be an excuse for people
to not tip. Aside from horrendous service, I really
can't think of a reason to not tip the people who.
need those tips for their income. Of course, some
people consider horrendous service? when their
waitress allows their water to, dip below halfway
full. So, letTs just assume that when I say hor-
rendous service?, I mean rudeness and complete
disregard for the customer. I can honestly say ITve
never been to a sit-down restaurant and experi-
enced service so bad I could simply not tip at all.
People who work in the service industry,
especially food service, are working a small
scale of income that can range from two dol-
lars below minimum wage up to just barely
above minimum wage. Doesn't really seem like
that lucrative of a career, does it? Many wait-
ers and waitresses make such a small hourly
income due to the assumption that the tips they
make will compensate for that lacking portion.
Where do you think that extra income will
come from if they arenTt receiving those tips?
Your, waiter/waitress/delivery person/
barista is working a crap job, and you know it.
ThatTs why you're making them do that work
for you instead of doing it yourself. TheyTre
working under stressful conditions in some-
times dangerous places full of angry custom-
ers and the aforementioned low wages. If you
really canTt afford to give them the leftover
change from buying your coffee, maybe you
can't afford to buy that coffee in the first place.

Why women should try it more
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION WRITER
Why is it that nearly every girl is afraid
to travel down to the weight area at the REC
center? When I go to work out, I ask my friends
if they want to lift some weights or work on the
machines, and their response is always a NO!
ItTs funny to see how girls can be so intimidated
by macho boys working out hardcore with those
weights.
I must admit I am not as confident as I may
sound about lifting weights with a bunch of guys;
it took me some time to muster the courage to
travel down to the land of weights. ItTs intimidat-
ing to walk across the room by yourself with guys
all around, watching as you go by because youre a
girl. And when girls are lifting light five-pound-
ers while the guy next to us has a 50-pound dumb-
bell, it makes us feel a little weak. ItTs a shame
that girls canTt do their daily workout or even try
some weight machines out of fear. Whenever I ask
girls why theyTre never down there, I get the same
response: | donTt like the guys.?
I think the obvious answer to this dilemma is
for girls to get over it and just do their own thing,
but that, as we all know, is easier said than done.
Girls, of course, have much insecurity and are just
not comfortable in their own skin. Maybe thatTs
why some of us are there, to lose some weight or
improve our figure. Honestly, we donTt want to be.
around more than twenty guys while dressed in a
pair of shorts and a sweaty t-shirt, and with a red
face. We're not at our most attractive.
So, what to do in this predicament? I really
donTt have an answer, but here are a few ideas.
When I venture to the weight area, ITm most com-
fortable with my iPod plugged in. ITm so preoc-
cupied with my music that I do not even recognize
whatTs going on around me. For most girls, that
probably isnTt enough. Maybe take a risk and go
with a friend who might have the same fear. .You
may be pleasantly surprised that you both can
do it and feel ten times more comfortable than
by yourself. ,
Those are just two simple ways to overcome
your fear of the weight room, but there are some
other options. Gyms could encourage a weight
_ program for girls in order to promote this type of
exercise and educate us on the different machines.
This would be a great way to get girls out there
and really show off what we can do. Another is to
set separate hours for girls and guys; however I
don't think that is necessary. Show those guys that
you donTt care if they are staring at you because
they shouldnTt be looking anyway!
I hope reading this article motivates those
girls who are afraid to lift weights and really
tone their bodies. I know the weight area isnTt for
everybody, but I do know that there are some of
you that are dying to get your behinds there to
get that fine tone you want to accomplish. Give it
_ atry one time. You may just find yourself looking
better and gaining more confidence!

Pirates stumble in first conference series

Bristow when the first batter of the inning took him deep

Houston would get one more run in the sixth and
his three innings of work. Dainel Holder came on in the
sixth to stop the bleeding but the damage was done and

STAFF WRITER
The PiratesT baseball team opened conference play
this past weekend by dropping two of three to visiting
Houston. | la
Houston took game one Friday night, but the Pirates
bounced back to take game two on Saturday in domi-
nating fashion before narrowly losing in the finale on
~Sunday. | *
With their spirits high from the previous daysT
exploits, the Pirates took the field on Easter Sunday
hoping to take the rubber match and finish the weekend
above .500 in the conference. But it was not to be, as
they never seemed to quite get in the groove against
the CougarsT pitchers.
_ The Pirates were already down by five before record-
ing their first hit and run of the game. ,
In the bottom of the fifth, ECU managed to tie the
game at five as Houston pitchers walked in three runners
another in the seventh while the Pirates were unable to
match and the final score read 8-5.
After the game Godwin was disappointed with the
teams all around play, especially defensively.
We got down early and we came back, but defen-
sively we gave away too many runs,? he said. That canTt
happen in conference series against a good opponent.?
He was however optimistic about his teams chances
of bouncing. back. | | |
We're a good offensive team and we know that.?
Godwin said. We can put runs on the board but we put
too much pressure on the offense and we just have to go
out and make plays defensively.?
The Pirates were riding a 13-game win: streak as
they welcomed conference foe Houston to town. The fist
game saw Houston knock around the Pirate pitchers for
14 runs on 16 hits. ECUTs starting pitcher, T.J. Hose,
lasted only two innings and gave up four runs on five
ECUTs bats were kept fairly quiet by Houston on
Friday as starter Wes Musick gave up two runs and
scattered six hits in his 6 1/3 innnings of work. Drew
Schieber managed a solo home run and Jamie Ray scored
on Ryan Wood's ground out to short. After that Musick
was pulled for reliever Chase Dempsay, who only allowed
one more hit in the final 2 1/3 innings.
Saturday's game saw the PirateTs bats wake up.
ECU scored early and often, and put five runs on
the board in three separate innings as it cruised to a
15-4 victory. Corey Kemp tied a school record with
three home runs, all solo shots, a feat last accomplished
in 1999. Mec ti 3
Kemp said that he had hit two home runs in a game
a couple of times, but his three home run performance
on Saturday was the first of the seniorTs career.
The Pirates wasted no time in getting to Houston
starter Ty Stuckey after FridayTs loss. With two on and
hits before he was replaced in the third by Brad Mincey.
Mincey didnTt fare much better against the potent Cou-
garsT lineup, as he gave up seven runs on eight hits in
and the Pirates put two more across with base hits.

innings and ECU coach Billy Godwin sent him back out

STAFF WRITER
- The fate ofa NCAA Division I head basketball coach is usually
determined in the win/loss column at most schools. 3
For ECU coach Mack McCarthy, restoring pride to a relatively
lifeless program outweighed numbers. 3
_ McCarthy recently agreed to a new contract that will keep
him in Greenville for the next five seasons.
He inherited a team that went a combined 14-44 overall and
3-25 in Conference USA play in two years under former head
coach Ricky Stokes.
As interim coach this past season however, McCarthy led ECU
to.a record of 11-19 overall and 5-11 in C-USA.
The season was highlighted by a first ever win against an
ACC opponent over NC State, a victory over eventual CAA tour-
ney champion George Mason, and five conference wins including
a Shocker over NCAA tournament hopeful Houston to end the
regular season. ° SF ie
I am extremely excited and pleased to be the head basketball T
coach of the East Carolina University Pirates,? McCarthyTsaid in
a statement released by the athletic department. We are proud
of what we did last season as a starting point, and my staff and
I cannot wait to get on with the business of making Pirate Bas-
ketball better.
We very much appreciate the opportunity given and confi-
dence shown by the administration, and we will work as hard as
possible to justify their actions.? ! ,
An 11-19 record would be considered a disappointment at most
schools, but-is currently considered an accomplishment at ECU. ;
More important than any statistical achievement, McCarthy =
has brought stability to a program in ruins, which is something he
has previously been able to do at UT-Chattanooga and VCU.
During his stint with the Mocs, seven of McCarthy's teams
made the postseason. From 1988-1995, UT-Chattanooga won
eight regular season championships and five tournament titles. In
his last year at the helm, the Mocs made a surprising run to the
Sweet Sixteen as a No. 14 seed. McCarthy ended his stint with a
156-54 regular season record. _ |
_In four years as,the head coach at VCU, the Rams winning
percentage increased each season. McCarthyTs record over four
years at the Richmond campus was 66-55. 3
_ There is no doubt in my mind that the current staff, under
Coach McCarthyTs leadership, will continue to move this basketball
program forward,? ECU Director of Athletics Terry Holland said
in the statement. Therefore, we have developed a five-year contract
g with a bonus structure that rewards our coach for continuing excel-
2 lence in already strong areas (academics and public relations) while

as defined by C-USA wins and
our expectations for-continued
improvement in rebounding
The most important task
for McCarthy starting off
would be to keep current play-
ers at ECU for the duration of
their careers.
On Fuesday, muli-
ple Greenville media out-
lets announced that ECU
sophomore Brandon Evans
announced his plans to trans-
fer to an unnamed university.
The decision had nothing to
do with McCarthy, but it was
reported that he was unhappy
with his playing time this past
season, which was cut almost
in half in comparison to his
freshmen season.
ECU has seen this scenario
played out multiple times since
StokesT predecessor Bill Her-
rion was fired, with the most
prominent example being Mike
Cook: 7 ,
Cook was named to the
C-USA All-Freshman Team
in 2003-2004 before leading
the Pirates in scoring with
15 points per game in 2004-
ZOOS.
After Herrion was -relin-
quished as head coach, Cook
departed to fis home state
of Pennsylvania to play for
Pittsburgh.
Last season, Cook started °
every game and finished second
in both scoring and assists on a
PanthersT squad that advanced
to the Sweet Sixteen. The Phila-
delphia native was sidelined for
most of this season with a torn
ACL suffered in an overtime
win over Duke.
CookTs time at ECU has
been highly publicized, but
most ECU supporters donTt
realize exactly how muchT
talent has slipped away from
the Purple and Gold.
Point guard Marvin
Kilgore began his career at
ECU in 2004-2005 before he
jumped ship and headed west
for UTEP. Kilgore finished
third on the MinersT team
in scoring this season, with
an average of 12.7 points per
game.
Belton Rivers, a 6-foot-
4 shooting guard, came to
ECU in 2002 but finished his
career last season at Tennessee
Tech where he led the Golden
Eagles in scoring with 17.8
points per game.
Cal State Fullerton guard
Frank Robinson also defected
after HerrionTs departure. Rob-
inson played an integral role in
the TitansT run to the NCAA
tournament this season, fin-
ishing second on the team in
scoring (15.8 ppg), rebounding?
and 3-point shots made.
Charles Bronson, a 6-foot-
9 forward/center, never made
it on the court for the Pirates
in 2004-2005 and elected to
transfer after his first semes-
ter. Bronson eventually wound
up at Xavier where he is now
classified as a junior. Bronson
has been used sparingly this
season but is highly regarded
by the coaching staff and is
likely to.see big minutes for the
Musketeers next season.
The transferring trend con-
tinued after StokesT first season
at the helm with notable players
such as All-C-USA performer
Tom Hammonds, Jr. and for-
ward Jonathan Hart leaving.
The first thing that should
come to any logical personTs

mind is that Bill Herrion prob-.
ably got the axe prematurely.
The wave of transfers was
directly related to the firing of
Herrion and ECU basketball
is Just now on the verge of
recovery. ~
Holland had no choice but
to ink McCarthy to, a new
deal. With a solid foundation
in place, ECU cannot afford to
risk losing any of its players
or weather another transition
period.
McCarthy has earned
the right to let his players
develop.
Ultimately, McCarthy
would like to see more than
-two NCAA tournament ban-
ners hanging in Minges Coli-
seum.. The PiratesT two lone
' March Madness appearances
came in 1972 and 1993- and
they havenTt been remotely
close since.
ECU has not had a winning
season since Joe DooleyTs team
went 17-10 97°1996-1997. The
Pirates have never advanced
out of the first round of a C-
USA tournament since joining
the league in 2001, and the last
tournament win of any kind
came in 1996 against Ameri-

can in the CAA Tournament.
Rising seniors Sam Hin-
nant and James Legan have
proven that they can be explo-
sive scorers, but more impor-
tantly, McCarthy has eight
returning players who will be
either sophomores or juniors
for the 2008-2009 campaign.
Jamar Abrams has perhaps
the best combination of size,
athleticism, and versatility
that ECU has seen since Cook
departed. His classmate, Brock
Young has laid claim to the
point guard spot for poten-_
tially the next three seasons.
John Fields, Gabe Blair, and
Chad Wynne have not yet
reached go-to-guy? status
but are all solid players on the
_low block.
If the McCarthy staff can
land back-to-back, quality
recruiting classes, there is no
reason why ECU shouldn't
be competing for a winning
record in the near future-
and with a little luck, adding
another banner to the rafters.

STAFF WRITERT
In the wake of coach
McCarthy's five--year con-
tract extension and a suc-
cessful start to the PiratesT
baseball season, the ECU
womenTs tennis program is
flying under the radar despite
an impressive start t0- 11s
spring campaign.
At 12-4, the PiratesT squad
is anchored by a perfect bal-
ance of senior leadership and
youth that has propelled the
team to aclimb in the national
rankings.
But the feamTs success
is not measured by its rank,
which soared to No. 63 just
one week ago.
The true success lies in the
key contributions this team
has received from its youth,
its diaper dandies Jessica
Cook and Tamara Sachs, who
have excelled on the court in
the No. 1 and No. 5 positions
respectively.
They've both been solid
and they provide great leader-
ship on the court,? said head
coach Tom Morris. We lose
five seniors next season, and
they help ease that transition
by giving our team stability
and a good foundation for next
yearTs team and recruits.?
At the top spot, Cook is
5-7 and 4-3 in doubles com-
petition while towards the
bottom of the lineup, Sachs has
_provided a team-leading 11
singles wins to go along with
her 5-1 doubles mark. ©
_. We have a lot of depth
on this team, and considering
/
most squads are weak as you
get deeper into their lineups,
itTs important that I get the
win in No. 5 or No. 6 slot;

Doubles play has been one of ECUTs strengths this Spring and a big reason for the hot start.
Luiza Borges, Mireia Gol and
Hannah Priest have combined
for a 23-11 singles mark, while
Borges and Gol have anchored
ECUTs doubles play with an
imposing 6-1 record.
Complementing ECU's
tandem of freshmen and
seniors, sophomore Brooke
Walter and junior Varinia
Soler have played brilliantly,
combining for a 15-8 record
in the teamTs two and three
slots. eS
Top to bottom though,
BOU s depth extends: tar
,beyond the top six singles
spots. Singles reserves Alex
Smith, Zandy Overcash and
Kristin Gordon have all filled
in throughout the season from
the three seed to the six seed,
mounting an 11-0 record.
Whether the contributions
have come from the teamTs
seasoned veterans or tal-
ented freshman, ECU womenTs
tennis is poised on setting the
bar for a year where the level
of competition and expecta-
tions has been raised. |
For ECU, the spring season
is not a time to focus on weak-
nesses or improve flaws in the
playerTs games.
It is instead a time to
sharpen up the fundamentals
and expand on the teamTs
strengths leading into the
heart of the schedule and
tough conference play.
We try to work on our
weaknesses in the fall, and

fine-tune their stroke,? said

one out Brandon Henderson hit
a shot that just cleared the right
field fence. Kemp followed with
his first home run of the day
and after a Kyle Roller ground-
out, Dustin Harrington took
Stuckey deep down the right
field line. ECU starter Seth
Maness pitched well through
the fifth, only allowing two
runs. But he ran into trouble
in the sixth and gave up two
more before Josh Ruhlman was
brought on in relief. Ruhlman
closed out the inning with the
Cougars trailing by one.
In the bottom of the sixth
the Pirates got rolling again.
They hit back-to-back home
runs for the second time to
open the inning. Kemp hit his
second of the day and Roller
followed with a monster blast
well over the right field*fence.
The. Pirates put three more
across before Henderson flied
out to end the inning.
Rulman then retired three
straight in the top of the sev-
enth before the Pirates got
the bats. rolling again in the
bottom half of the frame.
Kemp again led off the
inning for his record-tying
third home run of the game.
I was seeing the ball well
today and I think that helped
a lot,? Kemp said. I got some
pitches that were probably
mistake pitches that were up
in the zone and I was able
to capitalize. I think the day
speaks for itself.?
The Pirates scored four

ECU football enters next
rd
THE EAST CAROLINI
phase of spr
THURSDAY MARCH 27, 2008
ing practice
Running back Norman Whitley is tackled by a host of ECU defenders during a scrimmage last Spring. The PiratesT will hold their first scrimmage of this yearTs Spring practice. this Friday afternoon.
Scrimmages should
- be full of intensity
'~ ECU SID"The ECU foot-
ball team entered another phase
of its spring practice period
Monday, opening the scrim-
mage portion of the workouts
that primarily emphasize team-
on-team drills and feature three
intra-squad contests - including
the Purple-Gold. Game sched-
wed for April 12.
. MondayTs two-hour workout,
conducted on Hight Field inside
the Cliff Moore Practice Com-
plex, was the PiratesT seventh
overall and fifth in full pads.
In addition, the session
officially kicked off preparation
efforts in earnest for ECUTs
initial scrimmage of the spring,
which is set for Friday afternoon
at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Honestly, I was disap-
pointed in the way we came
out today,? ECU coach Skip
Holtz said. We were flat and
appeared to simply go through
the motions. I know we can't
survive playing the schedule we
have with the kind of attitude I
saw out there.
Holtz thinks that the spring
break and Easter break might
have had something to do with
MondayTs sluggish practice, but
hopes the intensity will pick up
over the next couple of weeks.
We've had a good spring
up until this point, so I hope itTs
either an aberration or perhaps
a result or downside of all of the
free time we've had in the last
two weeks with spring break
and Easter,? he said. We cer-
tainly need to regain our focus
and intensity as we head into our
last three weeks. ThereTs a lot on
the line for everyone, even those
who have experience.?
Holtz and his staff also
continued work Monday toward
the formulation of the program's
initial depth chart of the season
after spending the first three
weeks of camp evaluating fun-
damental individual drill work
and limited team action. The
two-deep, which will be released
after FridayTs game, will allow
the Pirates to fine-tune person-
nel in their respective offensive

and defensive packages in order
for the first and second units to
have the opportunity to experi-
ence the majority of the action
during the last two weeks of
workouts.
ECU continued work on vari-
ous sets and schemes with differ-
ent personnel matchup designa-
tions during MondayTs practice.
The Pirates carried out
many 11-on-11 drills which fea-
tured different twists in ECU's
rushing and passing attack
before closing the team session
with situational segments such

efficiency work. For the third
time in as many practices, ECU
completed the workout with a
live? three-on-three drill that
featured short-yardage power
matchups between tight ends,
offensive and defensive lines,
wide receivers and defensive
backs, running backs and line-
backers.
After an off-day Tuesday,
the Pirates returned to work
Wednesday at 4 p.m. before
closing the week with FridayTs
