Into the Wild fashion show to be held at Rehab

NEW EDITOR
A fashion show is being held tonight to not only display
fashion designs, but to also help children with cancer.
The first Into the Wild? fashion show will be on April
17 at 7 p.m. at Rehab Lounge in downtown Greenville.
Two ECU senior apparel merchandising majors, Sarah
Jacobelli and Billy Hahn, will showcase over 30 original
designs to raise money for a local charity committed to
helping children with this type of illness.

Annual History Day
Apical i hosted on campus

school students to showcase their
work
NESREN ELHERTANI
STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, April 20 ,the Dis-
trict I History Day competition was
held at Mendenhall Student Center.
This years theme was Conflict and Com-
promise in History.? Themes were chosen
by the National History. Day coordinating
committee, they seek to find themes that. are
relevant and interesting for participants and
students
Chad Ross, visiting assistant pro-
fessor ot history, served his. firnst
year as the History Day coordinator.
History Day has long been a part of the
mission of the Department of History, and
our relationship with History Day goes back
a goodly number of years, Ross said.
aie competition is held each spring on the
campus of ECU.
The Pitt County Historical Society pro-
vides plaques in recognition of the winning
schools in each of the categories. |
Middle grade and high school contestants
from a variety of schools in North Carolina
compete in eight contests: history papers, indi-
vidual and group documentaries, performances,
exhibits and websites. Contestants are chosen
through their own schools competitions.
District winners advance to the State His-
tory Day competition to be held at the North
Carolina Museum of History on April 26.
State winners later go to the National
History Day competition at the University of
Maryland at College Parke in June.
I was very happy about the result of this
event. Im a history buff and when I found out
that ECU was hosting a History Day, I had to
come, said David Mendez, freshman.
Many of this years first place winners from
District I came from St. Peters School.
Marie Payne's, Civil Rights Act? won first
place for the historical papers competition.
St. Peters School also brought home the

-mance. Annalise Bath won for individual and

the winners happy faces,? said Jennifer Bel-
troe, mother of two middle school children.

Individual banquets combined into

e
Event to unify student
organizations |
ROB BREINER
STAFF WRITER
This year, rather than having their
own individual end-of-the-year banquets,
student organizations have been invited
to attend the Student Leadership Awards
Banquet, sponsored by the Center for Stu-
dent Leadership and Civic Engagement.
In the interest of instilling a sense of
unity among student organizations, the
Center made the decision to combine the
banquets into one.
The change is just one of a couple
different steps we're taking toward unify-
ing student organizations,? said Charles
Brown, director of the center.
Brown, Corey King, assistant vice
chancellor for Student Experiences,
and the heads of student organizations
decided together to bring all-of the
campus organizations together under one
roof on one night, according to Brown.
They feel that the combination will
add to [their] goal of establishing a
more unified atmosphere to all of [the]
student organizations.?

Staff
~
Groups such as SGA, Media Board,
and Student Union, among others, have
all been invited to the new Student Lead-
ership Awards Banquet that will be held
near the end of the month.
According to Brown, at the individ-
ual banquets, leaders distribute awards
to individual members and recognize the
Best of the Best? within their respective
organizations. This year, however, the
combined banquet will keep many of the
same awards, but will focus more on the
most outstanding in each organization
rather than multiple individual awards.
All student leaders can see other
~leaders being recognized and can see
what other students are accomplishing
outside of their own organizations,?
Brown said.
Hopefully, it will spawn some future
collaboration.? |
In addition to the goal of unification,
combining the banquets into one large
one is a cost-effective strategy, accord-_
ing to King.
Brown, King, and the student leaders
from many of the campus organizations
discussed making the change last year
and concluded that, rather than spending
at least $15,000 to $24,000 per year on
banquets, they could put together one
Awards Banquet
large one for $6000"about one-third
of the original price.
The combination of the banquets.
also gives Chancellor Steve Ballard the
opportunity to interact with student lead-
ers all on one night, according to Brown.
There may be four or five [ban-
quets] on one night,? Brown said about
the individual banquets. The change will
make it easier for Ballard to sit down
with all organization leaders in the room
at one time.
The Center plans to have a Student
Leadership training retreat on the Satur-
day before the event, April 26, to discuss
student leadership and what it means, as
well as work toward unification among
the different organizations.
_ While each of these organizations
do their own jobs and have their own
responsibilities, theres an underlying
principle that theyre all student leaders
first,? Brown said. }
The Student Leadership Awards
Banquet will be held on April 27 at the
Greenville Hilton.

ECU's oldest online internationally peer-
reviewed journal celebrates eleven years "

The technologies in lab are similar to game components such as the Nintendo Wii.
VR in the Schools focuses on
virtual reality and education
JIMMY GALLOWAY
STAFF WRITER
VR in the Schools, published by the
Virtual Reality and Education Labora-
tory in the College of Education, cel-
ebrated 11 years online with its latest issue. "
The journal began in 1995 in print, but
two years later began being distributed via
e-mail. Today it is only available online.
Its articles are reviewed by profes-
sionals at such institutions as Kent State
University, the University of Ioannina in
Greece and Temple University, as well
as community colleges and high schools.
VR in the Schools main focus is
on the incorporation of virtual reality
technologies in the field of education.
Working with the Virtual Reality and
Education Lab (VREL) located in Joyner
Library, Co-Directors, Veronica Pantelidis
and David Vinciguerra, illustrate how VR can
be incorporated into a variety of curricula,
with a focus on low-cost VR technologies.
The lab has a variety of equipment,
some of which would be immediately
recognizable to students, such as a Play-
Station 2, Dance Dance Revolution mats,
and an EyeToy motion-sensing camera.
Vinciguerra demonstrated how the
PlayStation and EyeToy could be used for
aemon -=-
education with a game where he had to sort
falling objects into bins based on their color.
It also could be used for lessons on physics,
as the objects reacted differently if he gently
nudged them or quickly swatted them away.
This also has use for the disabled, since
it can be accessible with just using the hands
or arms. Games requiring motion are also
good as an alternative to traditional meth-
ods of physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Virtual reality is really becoming
commonplace, so people don't really think
of these things as VR,? Vinciguerra said.
The [Nintendo] Wii is the same prin-
ciple as what
were using.?

with the EyeToy, as well as using a USB
Data Glove? to manipulate objects
on the screen with an IR sensor much
like what Nintendos Wii remotes do.
Another application of VR to
school systems is the popular game
Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), where
players play by dancing on a mat.
Some schools are using DDR as a way
for students to be more physically active,
as well as increasing self-confidence.
Some schools aré actu-
ally getting grants to purchase
DDR [but] you're limited to what
games come out, Vinciguerra said.
Students in the VREL create, shape
and texturize their own environments and
objects. They can then manipulate them in
3D, to see their creations from all angles.
A demonstration with the software
showed that it takes only minutes to
create something in 3D, with addi-
tional time for refinements based on
how detailed the final object had to be.
Among all the computers and
equipment, there were three com-
The software we use will run on
Windows 95, so even schools with out-
dated computer labs can take advantage of
VR and use this software,? Vinciguerra said.
For interested students, the Depart-
ment of Library Science and Instruc-
tional Technology under the College of
Education offers graduate and under-
graduate courses in virtual reality.

Spread the wealth
Teachers and cops deserve more
than actors and athletes"
ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER
Our workforce is made up of numerous careers,
each with a relatively different pay scale. Logically,
one would think that as pay increases the respon-
sibility and importance of a job would increase.
This, however, doesnt seem to be the case. Actors,
musicians and athletes, for the most part, are
the highest paid professionals, with their yearly
incomes ranging into the millions. Its unjustifi-
able that those working to entertain people are
making more money than those educating our
children, protecting us and promoting wellness.
According to CNN, the average high school
teacher makes approximately $50,872 per year.
Closely behind a teachers salary is that of a police »
officer, who will make an average of $48,254, and,
with a dramatic drop, a firefighter will make an
average of $38,165 per year. These people who are
dedicating their lives to the betterment of their
fellow person are receiving average pay for being
our guardians and leaders.
With gas, food and other living expenses
increasing rapidly, its ridiculous that our educa-
tors and defenders are forced to live paycheck-to-
paycheck, while people who are considered enter-
tainers " no one would have suffered, if the last
Pirates of the Caribbean movie was never released
" are making millions of dollars for work that
doesnt help the advancement of our people.
The only saving grace for salaries of careers
that require much compassion and time is that of
a medical doctor, whose salary can range from
$80,000 per year into the millions. Doctors, how-
ever, dedicate the majority of their time to their
careers " constantly being on, call " so it seems
almost impossible to even enjoy a salary such as that.
Soon, no one will want to become a teacher, a
police officer, or a firefighter if the benefits dont
increase. Because it is so hard to convince a person
to become a math teacher, those willing to take
the position are given a salary bonus, an increase
of a mere couple of thousand dollars. Even when
we offer our teachers bonuses, the pay is nowhere
near comparable to that of a celebrity.
What we need to do is spread the wealth.
Instead of allowing the New York Yankees to have
a payroll of $209 million dollars, lets distribute
more money to the educators, police officers and
firefighters who are barely making ends meet. |
Theres absolutely no need for our entertainment
industry to have so much money, while our educa-_
tional system barely has enough money to provide
their students with the necessary supplies.
Americans do hold their entertainment dearly
(who doesnt enjoy a good movie or football
game?), but the vast rewards given to these people
leave those who teach and protect us feeling as if
they are in a thankless job heading nowhere. The
cost of living increases every year, and the per-
sonal feeling one gets when he or she has helped
another person doesnt pay the bills. How much
longer will people do work that benefits mankind,
when one could train to be an actor or an athlete
and make millions of dollars per year?

Obama is here
Bringing change to ECU
JESSICA DUNLOW
~ OPINION WRITER
I dont know about you guys, but I have yet to
decide who I am going to vote for. With the semester ©
coming to a close with its excessive amount of papers
and tests, I just haven't had a chance to catch up on all
the candidates and see who seems to best fit my agenda.
However, I have to say that the only supporters
who seem to be reaching out to gain my interest are
those of Barack Obama. One of my friends has worked
closely trying to organize the event; they're expecting
a line that beats those for football games.
Regardless, Clinton supporters, McCain support-
ers, where are you? Why haven't you tried to grope
for my vote? I have received numerous Facebook.
invitations to Barack the Vote,? which takes place at
the bottom of College Hill on Friday, April 18. They're .
even offering us transportation to the polls! Now, that
is wellplanned. ",
Understand that I am neither classified as a liberal
nor a conservative. I tend to float somewhere between
a liberal Republican and a conservative Democrat,
with a tendency to tilt a little more to the left, so this
is a huge decision. All I know is that if I were going
purely on the candidates constituencys attempts to get
my attention, I'd go for Obama. He seems to have all -
that it takes .. minus that whole pastor-who-seems-
to-hate-America deal. ,
Bill Clinton himself visited a school in my home-
town in support of his wife, but where was Hillary? I
have to admit that this doesn't look so hot for her. Who _
wants a presidential candidate that sends her husband
to do her dirty work? As for McCain, the only reason-
ably popular Republican candidate, I always think of
the comedy sketch where Dave Chappelle dressed up
as. McCain and mimicked his notorious, BYAH!?
I expect a record number of you Pirates to show
up and hear what Obama has to say. Even if you are
a staunch Republican or the epitome of liberalism, it
can't hurt to hear what a U.S. senator has to say. |
mean, what's the worst that could happen? If you're a
Republican, you can come out of it being as convinced |
that he is the Antichrist as you were before. If you're a
Democrat, then you may have found your candidate!
I'd be there if I didnt have to go to class, so Im send-
ing some minions to go and report back to me on
what they hear. I promise Ill be as informed as you
are. Maybe I'll make the right decision on Friday, and
even if I attend Barack the Vote,? I might Just En for |

LISA ENSMINGER
- OPINION WRITER
Two. weeks later, and the sun finally shines.
ECU students are out and about enjoying the
rays on their faces, sitting outside of Wright
Plaza or tanning by the pool. The day the sun
decided to peak out from behind the clouds
was a day of joy! The dreadful weeks of clouds
and rain took a toll on me, making it hard for
-_ me to rise out of bed aad start a new day. I
walked to the bus stop with my head down,
and couldnt seem to smile because the days
continued to be dreary. I hoped for a sunny
day to come, but the weather forecast pre-
dicted clouds and rain day after day. For once
they were right. The difference I felt the day
that the sun finally decided to come out and
have some fun was amazing. What a major
difference a little bit of sunshine can make
for a person.
Did you know that the sunlight actually
has the ability to bring humans happiness?
The important vitamin that the sunshine
provides, vitamin D, can chemically alter
our mood and prevent depression. It actually
stimulates the pineal gland in the brain and
produces tryptamine, a chemical that improves
mood. Sunlight brightening our day seems like
a given, but did you really know that the sun
has the power to alter our moods?
The problem. today is that most of the
population lacks vitamin D for many differ-
ent reasons. The media is the main culprit for
relaying the dangers of sunshine. Sunshine
linked to skin cancer has been relevant in the
media since the 1960s, and is still presented
today. Were bombarded with messages about
covering every inch of our bodies with a high
number of sunscreen and wearing long sleeves,
pants and hats to provide extra protection.
They seem to forget about the health benefits
of daily sunshine because our society always
focuses on the negative. Many people are not
receiving the needed amount of vitamin D, and
this can cause problems in the end.
Scientific evidence states that sunlight and
vitamin D can protect us from various forms
of cancer such as colon, breast, ovary, bladder,
stomach and prostate. Daily sun exposure also
strengthens bones and muscles, and boosts
the immune system. Fifteen minutes a day
" sunscreen free " allows us to absorb the
proper amount of vitamin D for our bodies
to function.
Now, Im not promoting roasting in the
sun for six hours every day without using
protection by any means. Its important to take
good care of your skin and health by knowing
what precautions to take if you are spending
the day in the sun, but its also important to
know that its not healthy to be heliophobic
(afraid of the sun). Its also important to focus
on the benefits because you may prevent other
ailments by just getting a ut he sunshine
every day.
So, next time the sun is shining and the
skies are blue, take advantage of the beautiful
day; brighten your spirits, and soak it up for
all its worth!

One day to study
just isn't enough
Im in college?
ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
This week, along with next, is a per-
petual hell for most students in North
Carolina, unless of course you are respon-
sible. It goes without saying that the last
two weeks of a semester in college involves
_ aton of work unless you lucked out. I have
two research papers " one of which makes
me want to drop out of college " along
with tests and just tidying up so I dont
accidently fail anything. Getting caught
up and finishing up with the semester is
a common thing to do, but most of these
actions never involve the actual final, leav-
ing much of the cramming for the final left
for finals time, or the reading days. Yet, for
- some particular reason, from my last day of
class to my first exam, I have one day.
Yes; that is correct. I have one day to
familiarize myself with almost 200 years
of Greek history. This doesnt even include
the exam I have the day after that, which
includes about 300 years of history, nor
does it include a German final.
Now, before I being throwing up and
passing gas uncontrollably from nervous-
_ness, I have to wonder why we dont get a
lot of time between the end of the semester
and finals. As I said before, for the majority
of students " and I do mean. all students
everywhere " doing a project the second
you get it is unheard of. No one does this,
and it isnt irresponsible to save the last
two weeks for a lot of this work.
I dont feel like I have opened the
professors and administrators eyes by
saying this, as I am sure they all did it
during their undergraduate years. No, the
biggest thing that bothers me is the appar-
ent two days given to us to study. I have
obviously been lied to here. Either I don't, -
in fact, have this exam on Wednesday, or
ECU feels they are blessing me with their
one day. I dont even understand if two
days is enough time to study. Three is
probably pushing it, but pean | better
than two.
As for the rest of this week (I'm writing
this on Tuesday), I have only the demons
that haunt me to keep me company. The
demons I speak of aren't friendly, and,
even with a strict drug plan, they dont
go away until my last exam. So, upon my
last class, on a future Monday, I will walk
out and say goodbye to my obligations to
class only to have a shrieking cry pulse
through my head. The side effects of that.
will not cause diarrhea and disorientation,
but only loss of sleep and mental anguish.
In one fortunate turn at least, my cries
of pain and misfortune will only last one
week, leaving me plenty of time to erase
everything I learned and accomplished
over the summer.

~ Pirates make national
tournament for first
time
HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER
The rugby team will travel
to Albuquerque, NM this week-
end to compete in the Division
II national tournament for the
first time in school history,
and try to earn.a spot in the
national championship game
on May 2.
Phey qualified for the
tournament by beating the
University of South Florida
and Wake Forest to cap-
ture the South Regional
tournament two weeks ago.
It is the culmination of a
long, tough season in which
the Pirates compiled a 7-1
record and won their second in
a row, regular season confer-

The season started with
a tough loss to Division I
powerhouse UNC, but the
Pirates rebounded well, and
with a core of seniors lead-
ing the charge, they went
on to win their next seven
matches in convincing fashion.
First they took down con-
ference rival NC State at home,
43-32, and then pummeled
UNCW 44-0 the following
weekend. Then conference foe
Wake put up a good fight with
a late charge, but the Pirates
pulled out a win, 18-11.
Their final conference match
proved to be their closest of the
season when they welcomed
Appalachian State to Greenville.
Missing four starters due to
ROTC commitments, it took a
clutch kicking performance by
Robert Lee, former ECU foot-
ball place kicker, to get the win
against the in-state rival.

The Pirates head coach Billy
Godwin used four pitchers, who
gave up a total of two earned runs,
in the midweek victory.
We have to win every game,
and thats just the way I approach
it, Godwin said. I couldn't be any
more pleased with our bullpen and
those guys coming in and doing a
great job against a good Citadel
team.?
Dustin Harrington knocked in
the game-winning run with a RBI
single in the bottom of the tenth,
scoring Brandon Henderson, who
led off the inning with a single of
his own. | :
I was just trying to relax and
put the ball in play, Harrington,
a true freshman, said of his at-bat.
In that situation [with the bases
loaded] pretty much anywhere you
hit the ball, a run is going to score.
It just felt great to come through.?
The Pirates lost a heartbreaker
to archrival NC State Tuesday
night in Raleigh, 7-6, which was
the fifth-straight one-run loss to
the Wolfpack. ECU had the bases
loaded in the ninth down by one,
but NC State closer Jimmy Gill-

big win for us, Harrington said.
Seth Simmons, ECUs final
pitcher, picked up his second win of
the season after throwing a score-
less 10th inning.
But Simmons didnt enter the
game in an easy situation to say
the least. After the Bulldogs got a
single and a double to put runners
on second and third to start the
top of the 10th, Simmons came on
to relieve senior Josh Ruhlman.

HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER
The ECU womens tennis
team will travel to Houston this
weekend for the annual Confer-
ence USA Tournament.
The Lady Pirates will enter
the tournament as the No.8
seed carrying an overall record
of 16-5 anda 1-O mark in the
conference.
The Pirates, whose season
finale against South Carolina
State. was cancelled this past
weekend due to rain, are riding
a three match win streak, all of
them shutouts. Though the rain
caused the match to be aban-
doned shortly after it began,
a senior day ceremony was
held for Luiza Borges, Mireia
Gol, Zandy Overcash, Hannah
Priest and Alex Smith before
the action began.
The-season began for them
with a ten match win-streak
when they welcomed ACC pow-
erhouse Virginia Tech to town
and suffered their first loss of
the season.
_ After that they hit a rough
patch and lost four of their next
seven, but their strong finish
to the season has coach Tom
Morris liking what he sees
going into the tournament.
We lost some tough
matches but won some good
ones as well,? said Morris. The
weather was tough on us this
year and some of those matches
would have been good prepara-

this season.?
The success of the team

terfinals, 80-3, and momentum
was in their favor entering the
final four of the South Region.
When the draw was announced
for the final four of the region,
the Pirates seemingly caught
a tough break when they were
matched against highly ranked
USF. But, this squad was not to
be denied and they emerged vic-
torious, 38-33, on another strong
kicking performance by Lee.
Griffin admitted that draw-
ing the Bulls in the first round
probably gave them the best
chance to advance.
USF. was much bigger
than us so we had to rely on our
speed,? he said. It was prob-
ably better we got them the
first game while our legs were
still fresh and we could use our
speed to our advantage.?
In the finals, the Pirates
saw Wake for the second time
this season. They slugged out
another hard fought win, 19-10,
to book their ticket to nationals.
Griffin attributes their
SUCCESS this season toa strong
senior class and the example
their leadership sets. ,
Most of the seniors were
here a few years ago when we
were not very good, so they
push everyone so we don't fall
back into that,? Griffin said.
We have some great seniors
and everyone wants to do this
for them.?
~Griffin also pointed out
some of the standout perform-
ers of the season. |
Tom [Francisco] has been
great for us, his speed has been
tough for teams to handle and
Connor [Duke] has been solid
on the other wing too,? said
Griffin. Justin [Bourgeois
has been great too.?
But, he admits that the
expert kicking of Lee has made
the difference in many matches.
Having Robert gives us
a huge advantage over a lot of
teams. His kicking has made us
a complete team and gives us
something a lot of other teams
dont have,? Griffin said.
The Pirates will face Utah
Valley State in their first match
of the weekend on Saturday,
and if they advance, will either
face Northern Colorado, or
defending DII champion Mid-
dlebury on Sunday.

Pirates regular season
honors finale moved up one day
Wide receiver Jamar Bryant (above) caught a toucdown pass in last years win over UTEP in El Paso.
Game will be the day
after Thanksgiving
ECU SID-"-ECU's 2008
regular season finale against
UTEP, originally scheduled for
Saturday, Nov. 29 at Dowdy-
Ficklen Stadium, has been
moved up to a Friday afternoon
kickoff in order to accommo-
date a live CBS College Sports
national television broadcast
according to an announcement
from Conference USA.
ECU, network and league
officials have established a 1:00
p.m. (ET) kickoff time in order
to work cooperatively with the
North Carolina High School
Athletic Associations playoff
schedule during the Thanksgiv-
ing Weekend. 7
We are very appreciative
of East Carolina University
keeping us informed every step
of the way as discussions about
its football scheduling contin-.
ued,? Charlie Adams, NCHSA
Executive Director, said. This
in no way will conflict with
any of our state football playoff
games, which will be played in
their traditional Friday night
time slots.
As a result, sports fans
across the state should have
an opportunity to watch the
Pirates in the afternoon and
then go and support their local
high school football program
later that night. Again, we are
grateful for the relationship we
have with ECU and its concern
for our programs.?
The ECU-UTEP contest is
one of three CBS College Sports
broadcasts that will feature the
Pirates at home this season,
joining the Houston (Sept.
27/3:30 p.m.) and Marshall
(Nov. 8/3:30 p.m.) games. East
Carolinas complete television
schedule, including regional
and local coverage, will be
released at a later date when
finalized.
We appreciate and cer-
tainly value our relationship
with the high school programs
in the state, especially with
Charlie Adams and his leader-
ship to the North Carolina High
School Athletic Association,?
said ECU Director of Athletics
Terry Holland. If last seasons
thrilling game with UTEP is
any indication, Id like to think
that this years matchup has
the potential to be equally as
attractive and exciting, if not
more.?
ECU beat) GEP in ae
overtime thriller last season in
FE] Paso, Texas.
The Pirates turned in their
highest win total since 2000
last season with an 8-5 record
and have now posted back-to-
back winning campaigns for
the first time since 1999-2000.
East Carolina capped the year
with a 41-38 triumph over No.
22 Boise State at the Sheraton
Hawai'i Bowl on Dec. 23 - the
programs first bowl victory in
seven years.

Horoscopes
Aries 7
Its good to be good at what you do,
of course, but its also nice to make
lots of money doing it. Thats your next
assignment.
Taurus
It's getting easier to see the path you want
to take. Sketch out a rough map while
you're in the mood. It'll come in handy
later. Lists are helpful, too.
Gemini
Doing a domestic job saves you a good
chunk of change. Building a business
from home could be profitable, too. Can
you make anything you can sell?
Cancer
Make sure the people who work for you
know what you want them to do. They're
providing the service, but you have to
provide the directions.
Leo
Abundance is yours, through your own
efforts. Nobody gave you a thing you
didnt earn, including a lot of respect.
You've got it; take care of it.
Virgo
Love is the most powerful energy on
earth. Its also the most valuable resource
you can have. Count your blessings
and thank those who are making you
So wealthy.
Libra
You want a new home office, or maybe
a studio? There should be a way to
rearrange your stuff to make this
possible. Sell some of it too, and get
new equipment.
Scorpio
An older friend knows a couple of tricks
you can put to good use. Dont be shy
about asking for advice. Its valuable and,
in this case, its free.
Sagittarius
More work is required for the next few
weeks. The pay should be good, and the
jobs not too hard. You're the right person
for the task.
Capricorn
For the next few weeks, you'll have an
exceptional way with words. Use this
opportunity to get all a messages
across.
Aquarius
Turns outyou have more than you thought.
Didn't you know? Keep inventorying your
Supplies and other resources. You're
actually doing quite well.
Pisces
A trip to the mall with your very best

Superb craftsmanship
VERONICA CARRINGTON
STAFF WRITER
April showers may bring
Mayflowers, but it also brings
eye-catching masterpieces in
metal and ceramic. Emerge
Gallery and Art Center is cur-
rently hosting the ECU MFA
Thesis Exhibition featuring
the art of Adam Egenolf and
Stsan McMurray, ceramic and
metal works respectively.
Adam Egenolf is an ECU
graduate student working:
toward an MFA in Ceramics,
and plans to becme a professor
and artist after graduating.
Susan McMurray is an ECU
graduate student completing
her MFA in Metal Design.
Although The Don Edwards
Gallery at Emerge just opened
the show on April 11, the pieces
have already touched a broad
array of art viewers.
The works are brilliant, they
show so much movement and yet
they are crafted tediously and in
some cases delicately. [They]

Mariah's Careys new

MCT- In case you've missed
Mariah Carey on MTVs pre-

event Idol Gives Back? or Sat-
urday Night Live? or on the new
heavy-rotation Macys ad, the

Careys CD hit stores April 15 with No. 1 single Touch My Body.?
and back on Idol? Wednesday
to remind you, in case the count-
less airings of her new No. 1
single, Touch My Body,? on
radio and the video channels
somehow doesn't.
What a difference a hit
makes.
When Carey rolled out The
Emancipation of Mimi in 2005
after a run of underperforming
albums, everyone was far more
cautious, with high-profile gate-
keepers all taking a wait-and-
see attitude. That album became
a multi-platinum smash, though,
and now it seems everyone is
jumping on the Mimi band-
wagon faster than you can say .
We Belong Together.? .
Its the kind of launch that
hasn't been seen in the music
industry in years, one that
makes the recent campaign for
Careys label mate Janet Jackson
or for Madonnas upcoming
Hard Candy album later this
month seem tiny by compari-
son. a
She is saying, No, really,
[am back, that ~Mimi was no
fluke,? said Ann Donahue, the
Billboard senior editor who
interviewed Carey for the trade
magazine's current cover story.
Mimi was the biggest-selling
album of the year when it came

* They're willing to do whatever
it takes.?
Island Def Jam Music Group
chairman Antonio L.A.? Reid
says Carey is driven by her will
to be the greatest.?
I love her commitment
to her career, Reid said. She
really works hard, day and
night. She writes and records
songs day in and day out. Lreally
love that about Mariah.?
Its a whole lot of serious
business for an album that the
Long Island native says is about
having a good time.
This is a fun record, prob-
ably the most fun record Ive
ever had, and thats tough to say
after The Emancipation of Mimi,?

my opinion, it really is.
Its a vibe that erie
comes across on the light-
hearted video for Touch My
Body,? which features Jack
McBrayer from 30 Rock? as a
geeky, fantasizing cable-modem _
repairman. Carey says she
worked with numerous co-writ-
_ers, performers and producers
from the Dirty Souths T-Pain
(Migrate?) to reggae royalty
Damian Marley (Cruise Con-
trol?) to her longtime pal Da
_ Brat (O.O.C.?) to make sure the
album reflected her life.
This is such an extension of
me, Carey said. I put so much
into it.?
The results have been well
received so far.
This is her doing what she
does best, her fitting into fash-
ion, said Bill Crandall, AOL
Music editor-vice president.
She has always been able to get
on the latest pop trend and do
it capably.? |
Touch My Body? hit No. 1
after less than two months on
radio and one week of availabil-
ity in Internet stores, setting
a record for most download
sales in a week. That success
moved Carey into second place
in music history for the most
No. 1 singles with 18, passing
Elvis Presley and putting her
within striking distance of The
Beatles.

many casual music fans scratch-
ing their heads, though even
Carey takes it in stride.
T really can never put myself
in the category of people who
have not only revolutionized
music, but also changed the
world,? Carey told The Associ-
ated Press. Thats a completely
different era and time. ... 'm
just feeling really happy and
grateful.?
AOL's Crandall. says. longev-
ity may be what puts Carey, still
only 38 after 17 years in the
business, in such rarefied com-
pany and what may ultimately
get her the record.
It is hard to put her in the
same category with the Beatles
and Elvis,? he said. She never
defined a generation. Mariah
has not had that impact on the
culture. You can't necessarily
run off a bunch of her songs.
Does she have a gréat voice?
Yess :
Crandall says musics all-
time records are a bit like
baseballs Hall of Fame, where
players who have long careers:
get in alongside players who
dominated the game for a short
time.
The Beatles are Sandy
Koufax, they were the best
musical entity on the face of the
Earth at their time,? Crandall
said. Carey is 20 times the
singer of most people on the
charts, but she is not a cultural
force. Dont mix up greatness
with longevity.?
However, for many, it is
Carey's longevity, not neces-
sarily her current career resur-
gence and her ability to battle
adversity that has made her so
inspiring.
Shes incredible,? said inoe
Leona Lewis, a chart-topper
herself who is being described
by many as the next Mariah
Carey. I listened to a lot of her
stuff when I was younger. Shes
such.a great artist. I think its so
great that shes still successful

Billboards Donahue says
neither Carey nor Island Def
Jam execs spoke about the
looming Beatles record, but that
E=MC2 could offer a serious
challenge.
You hear it and you're like,
~This is a single, oh, thats a
single, too,? Donahue says.
They may not say theyre going
for the Beatles record with this
album, but it sounds like they're
going for it.?
And this time out, they will

way that people read.
The Web site was created
in response to special editions
of The New York Times, where
installments of classic novels
were printed everyday. The
creators said that they caught
up on their reading just by
reading the newspaper, and.
the only thing we do more
consistently than read the
paper is read email,? accord-
ing to the Web site. Dailylit
started with only a couple of
titles, but now offers almost
~ 800.
Dailylit also gives users
a forum to discuss books
they've read, give tips on
how to improve the Web site
and more.

gives users the option to send

FILM continued from B3
doesnt really go anywhere.
Which is a problem with
a romantic comedy, because if
nothing else you want to feel
like you're part of the romance.
What we get mostly from this
film is ambivalence.
The essence of drama is
conflict and change, and nobody
changes much here; and cer-
tainly not our leading man, a
sort of human marshmallow
who is as bland at the end as he
was at the beginning.
Nor can director Nicholas
Stoller (who had a better script
for Blades of Glory?) give much
shape to this material.
There are some pretty funny
lines delivered by a host of
familiar faces: Jonah Hill (of
Superbad) as'an unctuous hotel
waiter, Paul Rudd (40-Year-
Old Virgin, Knocked Up) as the
resorts stoned surfing instruc-
tor, Bill Hader (Superbad) as
Peter's exasperated brother, Jack
McBrayer (Walk Hard and TVs
30 Rock?) as a honeymooning
groom unmanned by his brides
sexual demands.
The real find here is Brit
actor Brand as a rock idol that
has lived the high life for so long
he has forgotten what normal
life is like.
PLAY continued from
Von Cleve Lewis played
Jesus; committed to his char-
acter on a human level the way
Jesus was depicted in the show
as just a man.? Though Lewis
doesnt agree with this depic-
tion of Jesus off-stage, he still
made an attempt to round his
character fully.
In most of the productions
of Jesus Christ Superstar, the actor
Bl
playing Jesus does not play the
part biblically correct,? said
Lewis. I plan and pray that I
will be able to do so. The show
itself is told mainly from Judas
point of view and some of the
writing or lyrics of the show go
against the image of a loving,
pure. Christ.?
The dynamic between Judas,
played by ECU student Bruce
Young, and Jesus, was depicted
as a truly epic battle between
the good and evils of camara-
derie.. Though Lewis was able
to connect and fill his charac-
ter, Young was not far behind.
Youngs dramatic flair for the
anguish and inner turmoil of
Judass character was surprising.
The story of Jesus life in the
Paramount Theatres produc-

tion of Jesus Christ Superstar is
painted well for a community

true bonfire in the production.

over the audience and almost
mystified the crowd.
