First annual ECU Rotaract Etiquette dinner held
Networking opportunities available to
attendees
NESREN ELHERTANI
STAFF WRITER
The first Rotaract Etiquette dinner, which in-
cluded a gourmet, three-course meal, was held at
Ironwood Country Club on Thursday, April 18.
This particular spot was chosen because it
provided an immaculate venue and made the
event more significant as it was unique, said
~James Wagner, Rotaract Club president.
The purpose of the dinner was to provide
an opportunity for ECU students to network
and interact with area businesses and commu-
nity leaders in a social, dinner setting.
The Rotaract Club felt it was important for
students to learn these abilities as job competi-
tion increases; it would give an advantage over
someone who has not experienced competition
at all. |
This is a really great help to all of us who
are not good with the whole business dinner
etiquette thing,? said Anna Mitchell, graduate
student.
Community and business leaders in Pitt
County, as well as ECU administration, at-
tended in order to provide ene oppor-
tunities for the event.
Guests were asked to wear mugineds casual
or business professional clothing.
In order to make the first year of this event
worthy and to set the precedent, the club hired
the only certified etiquette and professional
trainer in Pitt County, Su-Su Corbitt, to facili-
tate the evening. |
We could-have truly not asked for a better
person to do this for us. She went table to table
as we ate to check in and see if we were utiliz-
ing proper etiquette and to answer any ques-
tions we had,? Wagner said.
There was a perfect mix of instruction and
enjoying the meal, and for the 50 or so people
who attended the event, not one negative com-
Pd
ment was made about her instruction.?
The Greenville Evening Rotary Club was
the primary sponsor of the dinner.
Rather than the presence of large businesses,
representatives were sent, many of which were
lawyers and pharmaceutical representatives
with their doctorates or professional degrees.
There was also strong attendance from
the college of business, such as the Associate
Dean, Stanley Eakins. Other attendees in-
cluded James Westmoreland, associate dean of |
external affairs, Len Rhodes, assistant dean of -
graduate studies, Miranda Williams, assistant
director for the college of business career ser-
vices, as well as several academic advisors.
The Rotaract Clubs goal is to provide an
opportunity for young men and women to de-
velop the knowledge and skills to assist them
in personal development, address the physi-
cal and social needs of their communities and
promote better relations between all people
worldwide.
Students that attended the etiquette dinner
feel that the event was beneficial and offered
valuable tips.
The dinner seemed very professional and a
setting that Im not really used to. It was a great
learning experience for the future,? said fresh-
man, Sarah Wilson.
James Wagner chartered the club at ECU
during the summer, and for the first semester
worked on membership recruitment and reten-
tion.
Last semester, the Rotaract Club also spon-
sored a Thanksgiving dinner for families.
There are plans to hold the event annually and
to expand it to cover a wider range of topics.
We will definitely be making this an an-
nual event, with some slight modifications to
ensure that each ... [student] ... has a different
etiquette anaie that s vital for students to
learn,? Wagner said.

Tise and his students took a field trip to the site of the 1908
flights to make sense of major points on the map, which was
written in a code created by the Wright brothers.
T feel like this is a map that Ive seen a thousand times and

said.

This class is about documentary editing, but in this class we
consider three-dimensional objects as documents. The brothers
clearly made it on site, which is what is so interesting.?
Tises students were required to complete four main tasks this
semester. They learned how to decipher and interpret docu-
ments, helped to construct a Web site (worldaloft.org, which
went online yesterday and houses the students projects and
research), gave presentations on components of the Wright
brothers story and prepa ee for the Wright Brothers National
Memorial exhibit.
The class filled in many components on the Web site and en-
hanced it to improve its ease of use, Tise said.
T feel it represents North Carolina as a state where the un-
thinkable becomes reality, where if you believe that you can do
something, it can be accomplished,? said Nastassia Julian, ap-
parel merchandising major. ,
This seems to have been one of the most interesting explor-
atory courses my students have taken,? Tise said.

Letter to the Editor
The Audacity of Hype
PETER KALOGERINIS
ECU STUDENT
As I walk around ECUs campus, sit in class
and talk to my friends, I hear an uncommon topic
that is being brought up by our peers: politics.
This election cycle has been one of the most elec-
trifying and exciting ones of our time, and for the
first time in 20 or so years, the North Carolina
Democratic primary. will have relevance in pick-
ing the nominee.
After researching both Senators Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama, I have decided that
I will vote for Sen. Clinton. Mr. Obamas appeal
with many Democrats is unquestionable. He is
the rock star? of this election; some supporters
have literally fainted at his rallies. However, this
status should not determine why one should vote
for him.
In terms of policy, there are relatively little
differences, but they do~exist. Sen. Clinton has
repeatedly talked about going after shady student
loan lenders and expanding several financial aid
opportunities to students and families. Clinton is
committed to increasing access to federal-based
aid like Pell grants and increasing the amount of
federal aid available to individual students. Sen.
Obama has also offered a plan, but it is not very
strong on substance or as far-reaching as Sen.
Clintons. This is an issue at which our student
body should take a close look.
The Iraq war is an issue that concerns every-
one, and it should. This war sends an important
and critical message to our foreign allies, and its
not a good one. Sen. Clinton recognizes that the
message we send to the world is important when
it comes to foreign policy. She has stated a com-
mitment to bringing our troops home as soon as
possible, while preserving all the work our sol-
diers have done the last few years. Whoever the
president is will have a difficult job of cleaning
up this war. You may have heard Sen. Obama say
that he was vehemently against the war before
it was popular,? however Obama's foreign policy
had little material relevance at the time, because
he was only a state-level politician. It is com-
paratively easy to be against the war when the
consequences of going against the intelligence at
the time had no adverse impact on your political
aspirations. cae |
I will admit that determining how they differ
is not always easy since Obama is long on elevated
expression, yet clearly short on record. He has
spent just three years in the U.S. Senate. Before
that, he spent just eight years as a state legislator
in Illinois. Before that, he was a university lec-
turer, a community organizer and a civil-rights
lawyer. For all his platitudes, Obama doesn't have
a strong resume to be the President of the United
States, quite simply the office of the worlds most
powerful leader. The office of President at this
point in time is no place for on-the-job training.
Especially not when our nation is.at war, the
economy is less than stellar, and when the whole
world is looking to America for guidance.
With this newfound political interest and
energy, the American people have had a severe °
problem in voting on issues rather than feelings.
Just by talking to some of my friends and co-
workers, Ive realized that some are deciding who
to vote for, not based on issues, but rather trivial
things such as how the person makes them feel or
basing their vote on the fact that the candidates
volunteers were the only ones to talk to them.
Voters have become enthralled with rhetoric. This
saddens me. We as a people should vote on the
issues and the stances the candidates have taken,
and their records, not on their ability to give a
good speech, sex or color of their skin.
It is important to point out that Obama is
eloquent and excellent at giving speeches, but
interesting anomalies occur when his speeches
are analyzed over time. Sen. Obamas campaign
has been quick to remind us all that words have
meaning and are not empty gestures, and yet,
paradoxically, as a nation we have sat and watched
scandal after scandal erupt over Obamas words,
after which the Obama campaign was quick to
tell us that we really didnt understand what he
really meant. So which is it? Are they just words,
or are they riddles veiled in political meaning
that only the Obama campaign can understand?
You decide.
My simple request to ECU students is this:
Whoever you vote for, read up on their policies,
before you vote. Vote on who you think is best |
aligned with what you believe policy wise, not who
makes you feel the best or can give the best speech.
Think for yourselves, not what you are being told
to think. The media also has an agenda, and the
campaigns exploit that to their advantage. Don't
fall for it. Indeed, we are the ones we have been
waiting for. Our time is now, a time to choose not
based on irreverent campaign slogans and vapid
speeches. Are you worried about the country
now? Then vote carefully, because yes, we can
mess this up. ,

The status quo
As far as Facebook is concerned
MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER
Move over, away messages and instant mes-
saging, theres a new personal update system in
town. Of course I am referring to status updates
on Facebook, a sensation taking college students
by storm! :
Facebook, since beginning its status updates
feature, has increased our desire to know what
friends are doing every minute. .
Choosing the right status update is tough.
What are you doing right now? The status has
to be something interesting-- we cant look like
we are living a dull life. Then again, it cant look
like we are looking for too much attention ... but
after all, isnt that the point?
Sometimes I find myself thinking in Face-
book status mode: Margot needs to do laundry.?
Margot is leaving the house.? Margot is ...
trying to finish this article? ... and so on. Some-
times several minutes can go by with my preced-
ing every thought with, Margot is...?
_ Margot is going to try to stop thinking in
Facebook status update mode. ,
People change their Facebook statuses so
the audience (other Facebook stalkers) can know
something about what is going on in the persons
life. If someone has had a terrible day, they may
put this in their status to forewarn people of their
lousy mood. Or if something great happened, it
can be used to bring about congratulations.
Some#Facebook statuses are put up just to be
funny. The best one I have read was, Justin is chang-
ing his Facebook status.? Clever. This also shows the
weight given to Facebook statuses, as he mocks those
of us checking in for every new event.
~Someone is excited! ~Someone is tired of
working on school. ~Someone is at the beach.
Those were taken from actual Facebook sta-
tuses I noticed today, but the winner is, Someone
is shootin noodles if they hiccup.? Not sure about
that one; funny though. ,

Fear ot death
entering Congress
A different approach to Kevorkian
ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER
With the primary season coming to a
close and the November election right around
the corner, I am reminded of the controversy
surrounding Michigan's ninth congressional
district. Jack Kevorkian, commonly known
as Dr. Death,? announced this year that he
would be running for that seat in Congress.
I have to ask myself, is it really necessary
to fear the idea of such a man entering Con- -
gress?
Kevorkian, who claims to have assisted
approximately 130 individuals to commit
suicide, feels that.he was helping, not hurt-
ing, these people. Every person he helped to
end his or her life requested his services. He
provided the means necessary to die, but he
left it up to the individual to administer the
death-inducing medication (except in the case
of Thomas Hyde). ,
A little unconvinced of Kevorkians ethics
as a medical doctor, I decided to review the
Hippocratic Oath. Nowhere in this document
" the modern Hippocratic Oath, that is
" does it state that a physician cannot assist
a patient in committing suicide. Acknowl-
edging this, I realized that Kevorkian did
not break his oath, nor did he do something
considered unethical; he helped his patients
achieve a goal.
The piece of evidence that prevents me
from completely disregarding the stigmas
against Kevorkian is the case of Thomas
Hyde. Kevorkian, who at the time was not
licensed to practice medicine, personally
injected Hyde with a lethal amount of medica-
tion. Although Hyde was cognitively aware of
what he had requested Kevorkian to do and
provided written consent, Kevorkian was no
longer a practicing physician. Because of this
case, Kevorkian was prosecuted. A Michigan
court sentenced Kevorkian to 10-25 years in
prison on the conviction of second-degree
murder. He served eight years.
Still, I cannot condemn this man or think
that he could provide much threat to Con-
gress. I dont think he would want to harm
anyone. Kevorkian feels we need some hon-
esty and sincerity instead of corrupt govern-
ment in Washington.? Perhaps he only wants
what is best for his community. Perhaps by
assisting those individuals to commit suicide,
he felt he was allowing those people a more
peaceful way to go rather than suffering with
a disease for their remaining days.
As long as Kevorkian can get the needed
3,000 signatures to get on the ballot, he will
run for Congress as an independent. This 79-
year-old man, who based his medical career
on bettering the lives of others and prevent-
ing others from suffering, is viewed by many
as a threat. However, how can one contort
Dr. Kevorkians actions into horrific murder?
_ He cared for the well-being of his patients;
he wanted for them the same thing they
wanted for themselves " to suffer no more.
Is this man truly dangerous or Just a person
who genuinely cares and wishes to provide
comfort to others? Is Dr. Kevorkian going to
be a menace to our Congress or a politician
who will actually help his constituency? With
such controversy, this election season is sure
to have some interesting results.

Letter from the Editor
Saying good bye
SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
. Four years. Three years of donning red and
khaki for a part-time Job at Target that has led me
to meet some pretty amazing people. Two years of
Mondays and Wednesday spent in the newsroom
working at The East Carolinian brainstorming °
ideas, perfecting layout and falling deeper in
love with my passion for writing. Countless all- |
nighters. Dozens of pizza and movie nights with
friends. A few nights of reckless abandonment in
which I had to enlist the help from the loves of
my life to pick me up because I was too weak to
carry myself home.
When I reminisce about my college experi-
ence, these are the things I cherish the most.
When I look back on my time at ECU, I barely
remember the times when I bombed a quiz that I
forgot to do the reading for or the days when the
rain beat down so relentlessly on my body that
not only were my clothes left drenched, but my
spirits were dampened as well.
These times dont make me bat an eye or skip
a beat; they meant nothing in the grand scheme
of my life. But the nights I spent in the news-
room preparing this paper for the student body
to read, critique and eventually throw away are
the ones that I treasure most. For the past year
- | have taken over as Editor-in-Chief of The East
Carolinian, and let me tell you-- the Journey hasn't
been easy. My days have been filled with phone
calls addressing problems, story ideas flooding
my inbox and racking my mind to find solutions
when everything seems to be falling apart.
Every Monday and Wednesday for the past
year I have spent nearly 12 hours in the newsroom
with a group of people who have not only because
my close friends, but family who have been there ©
to support me when times got rough--both in my ©
personal and professional life.
As | sit writing my final letter from the
Editor, a wave of relief does wipe over me--but
also, a sense of sadness. It will be wonderful to
go to bed every night and not worry about what
will run in the newspaper or how the pages will
be laid out. It also breaks my heart to know that
I am closing this chapter in my life and biding
farewell to friends that I cant imagine living a
day without.
I'll miss strolling through campus while the
squirrels scamper past my feet and the wind
blows through my hair, or at least that s how ll
remember it.

Where did the year go? ,
Wrapping up my thoughts
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION:-WRITER
The year is winding down, papers and exams
are thrown at us at the last minute and people
are celebrating the awesome weather. Some stu-
dents are staying here in Pirate town for summer
classes, some are packing up cars for the ride
home, and some are graduating and moving on
to the next chapter of life. Saying goodbyes and
sealing off yet another year is an exciting, yet
sad, experience, and everyone goes his or her "
own way.
Thank goodness this semester is almost over,
because I am so ready to be done with it. Im ready
to take that last exam scheduled and sell back
those books to get such little cash back. Although
ending classes sounds fabulous right now, leaving
all my friends doesnt sound so great. I came to .
ECU this year as a transfer student and I feel like
I just got started. I have met so many people and
have had many amazing experiences. | remember
setting up my room, meeting my roommates,
and exploring good ol Greenville like it was just
yesterday. Its not time to pack up my stuff and
move back home yet...is it?
' Sadly, it is, and I wouldn't be so sad: to leave
" four months away is not going to change much
" but I will be studying abroad next semester
in Paris. Although I will be sad not to be a part
of ECUs campus for a semester, I cant let that
hold me back from living my dream. Living in
a foreign country for a whole semester will be
extremely difficult, but so thrilling at the same
time. Europe is such a fascinating place, and the
thought that I will be a part of that culture for
four months is amazing ... but quite challenging
at the same time. Speaking French 24 hours a day,
seven days a week and living in such different
conditions from what I am used to, being a spoiled
American, seems quite intimidating. Millions of
questions are running through my head. Where
will I go ina grand city like Paris? Will I scream "
American if people just look at me? What to do
if I get homesick?
These questions and many more have been
consuming my thoughts ever since I received that
aeceptance letter in the mail. How am I going to
survive in a country like France? I know I will
be consumed with anxiety about what I am going
to pack, how much money I will spend, and how
I will survive in a foreign country. I cannot let
my fears and anxiety prevent me from having
the time of my life.
I feel blessed to study abroad because Im able
to live in a country Im in love with, to speak the
language | have been learning, and to experience
things I have never experienced before. Study-
ing abroad, as I have heard, changes a person
completely and opens.a new door to many new
and exciting opportunities. You can engage in
different cultures, learn about peoples habits,
and see unreal places.
So, now that my thoughts are scattered on
this paper and I go about my own way to the
land of Paris, I wish you all the best with your
plans for the next few months and next semester.
Whether it is working at a restaurant all summer
or making big lifestyle changes, make the best
out of everything that you do and never take any
day for granted!

Its my turn to say hello
ELISE PHILLIPS .
FEATURES EDITOR
\
This time of year is always bittersweet for
me. The semester comes to an end, friends leave
for the summer, campus is filled with students
struggling to pack up all of their belongings and
move out of the dorms, the weather changes and
life becomes different.
Its that time when youre emotions are in
an oxymoron-like knot of both happy and sad at
the same time.
Life changes, and with it comes new friends,
new classes, new teachers, new beginnings.
This year, a big change is coming for me:
Im taking over The East Carolinian as the new
Editor-in-Chief for the 2008-09 school year,
and Im caught up in those end-of-the-semester
crazy emotions.
Although working for this fine newspaper
_ is hard work (most nights are spent guzzling
some type of caffeine and stressing over every
little detail), 1 have made some of my best friends
working here. Over furiously typing articles at
11 p.m. on a production night and downing fast
food meals, The East Carolinian office has become
like my family away from family. And my taking
over signals that others are leaving. But as the
old adage says, the news stops for no one.? And
I am no exception.
Being the Features editor for the last year has
only confirmed my passion for journalism and
how it really can change peoples lives.
Every issue that we put out I feel proud of
and work relentlessly to make it great. Some of
_my favorite stories that I have written about this
year are about those things that really touch me
as a college student, and I hope that our readers
feel the same way.
I want our school paper to reach new heights °
this year, and I have big plans for it. Next year ~
might not cover the same things as this past year, »
but I hope that I can take The East Carolinian up a
notch so that my predecessors will be proud.
So as I take up this new post as editor, I will
miss the ones that are graduating and going into
the real world, but I will work my hardest to make
our schools newspaper interesting, real and read-
able for all students who attend ECU.
Change is always hard, but I know what Im
getting into, and Im ready for it.
As all of the graduating seniors say ~goodbye,
its my turn to say ~hello.

ECU fans have plenty to look forward to
Many sports programs
~ are on the rise
RONNIE WOODWARD
SPORTS EDITOR
Classes end on Manday.
Exams end May 8.
But sports will not be ending
anytime soon.
As students mourn in sum-
mertime blues, figure out post-
graduation plans or move away
from Greenville for the summer,
they all have one thing to look
forward to"sports.
And that optimism should
start with the ECU baseball
_ team.
The baseball team has been
in and out of the Top-25 all
season, has looked great at
times and not-so-great at times,
but overall, this team has the
most postseason potential of any
ECU baseball team in recent
years.
Despite being recently swept
by Conference USA powerhouse
Rice, which is currently one of
the hottest teams in the entire
nation and has been a thorn in
ECU's side for years, the Pirates
are in the thick of the confer-
ence race and, with a strong
end to the regular season, could
position itself for a legitimate
postseason run.
ECU is at or near the top of
almost every offensive category
in C-USA, most notably, home
runs. The Pirates have hit 53
home runs this season, which
tops C-USA, and is 15 more
than the two teams tied for
second.
Led by breakout seasons by
senior Corey Kemp and infielder
Ryan Wood, ECUs offense has
been as explosive as ever in 1 the
Billy Godwin era.
Kemp, who had five home
runs and 41 RBIs all last season,
_1s leading C-USA with 12 home
runs and has drove in a team-
high 46 runs. As gaudy as those
numbers seem, whats even more
impressive is Kemps consis-
tency at the plate, as he has came
through in clutch situations
multiple times for the Pirates
so far this year.
Wood is first on the team in
batting average, second on the
team in RBIs and has scored
more runs than any other player |
in C-USA.
Junior Brandon Henderson
has also come into his own at
_ the plate, having his most pro-
ductive and consistent season of
his career.
These players stellar offen-
sive seasons coupled with the
usual offensive suspects like
Harrison Eldridge, Kyle Roller
and Stephen Batts having pro-
ductive years has made ECU a
very dangerous baseball team.
But what is even more
dangerous, and usually more
valuable as the postseason
approaches, is the pitching
depth.
Coming into the season,
many people thought the Pirates _
would struggle on the mound
because of the lack of experi-
ence behind senior No. 1 pitcher
~LJ. Hose.
But its been two freshmen
and a transfer who have carried
the pitching staff this spring,
providing ECU with a very
valuable weapon"starting
pitching depth.
True freshman Seth Maness
has yet to lose a start (6-0) in his
young career, and leads the team
in strikeouts with 52. 3
Maness true freshman side-
kick, Sthil Sowers, has settled in
as ECUs No. 4 starter"which
can be huge corns the post-
season.
Sowers threw a complete
game against UNCW on Tues-
day and has had multiple solid
outings after a somewhat rough
start to the season.
Auburn transfer Justin Bris-
tow has been very impressive in
his role as the Pirates Sunday
pitcher, boasting a 3.15 ERA
and 5-2 record in a team-high
60 innings.
Hose has had a bit of adown
year after a stellar three years at
ECU, but the gritty pitcher has
always shown the ability to step
up in clutch situations, and that
hasnt seemed to wear off.
What does all of this
mean?
It means that ECU will
have multiple pitching options
as we approach summer college

owers grounds Seahawks in Pirates victory
Freshman pitcher _ .
rows first complete
game
JARED JACKSON
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
The Pirates found the per-
fect remedy Tuesday night after
a tough weekend series against
Rice. }
ECU [28-13] rolled to a
6-1 victory over in-state rivals
UNC Wilmington [29-9-1]
behind the arm of right-handed
pitcher Sthil Sowers, and a
Pirates offense that produced
11 hits from seven different
batters. |
Theyre [UNCW ] having
an outstanding year, said ECU
coach Billy Godwin, whose
Pirates have now won three-
straight against the Seahawks.
For us to come out, especially
after a disappointing weekend
[swept at Rice] and for Sowers
to do what he did tonight "
check across the country and
you dont see too many com-
plete games in the middle of
the week.? |
Sowers performance could
arguably be considered the
best of his young career at
ECU, as the true freshman
| held the Seahawks scoreless
through the first 8 2/3 innings
before giving up a home run to
Seahawks clean-up hitter Mark
Carver, only one strike away
from a complete game shutout.
After the home run, Pirates
infielder Corey Kemp had a few
words with Sowers to keep his

THE EAST CAROLINIAN ¢ SPORTS
WRAP-UP continued from B4
baseball. And in the.postseason,
most college baseballs teams
shelf-life comes down to how
many productive pitchers it has,
and right now ECU is strong in
that category. 7
But even with four strong
starting pitchers and an explo-
sive offense, ECUs postseason
fortune could very well depend
on the bullpen.
The Pirates have only
recorded two saves all season,
which ranks last in C-USA.
Projected closer Bailey
Daniels has been used spar-
ingly due'to a preseason
injury, and Godwin has been
forced to use a closer-by-.
committee approach with
left-handed senior Josh Ruhl-
man and true freshman Brad
Mincey leading the way. Nei-
ther has fully embraced the
role or shown the ability to
dominate late in games, which
is a Characteristic that you
will usually find when watch-
ing teams that make it to the
College World Series.
In years past, including
last year, ECU has lost post-
season games and has seen
its season end because of the
inability to win the close
games in the final innings. |
This years bullpen has
shows flashes of potential,
and if the Pirates can find
some consistency from the
back end of its pitching staff,
pitching depth can be a valu-
able asset in the coming
months"something that
ECU hasnt recently had
during the postseason.
Whenever the baseball
teams season ends, all stu-
dents will have one other
huge sport to look forward
to, and thats football.
Last year, the ECU foot-
ball team went 8-5, its high-
est win total since 2000. The
successful season, which was
capped by a Hawaii Bowl vic-
tory over nationally-respected
Boise State, also marked the
first time the Pirates have
recorded back-to-back win-
ning campaigns for the first
time since 1999-2000.
With one of the brightest
young coaches in college foot-
ball in its arsenal, and now a
couple of winning season to
build on, the sky is currently
the limit for ECU football.
Next years schedule
includes games with NC State,
Virginia, West Virginia and a
season-opening matchup with
Virginia Tech in Charlotte.
Matchups like these and the
success under Skip Holtz
gives students a lot to look
forward to next fall"and it
will be here sooner than you
think. ,
Also, both ECU basketball
programs are as stable as
they've been in years, thanks
to coaching stability.
The womens program has
a very knowledgeable, hard-
working coach in Sharon
Baldwin-Tener, and will only
lose one senior from this
years team when they hit the
hardwood next semester.
With the recent contract
extension Mack McCarthy,
the mens program also has
coaching stability for the first
time in a long time, and will
also have key scorers return-
ing, led by senior Sam Hin-
nant and James Legan.
So as you sell your books
back, finish up exams and
forget about school for awhile,
dont forget this schools
sports"because you just
never know what you could
miss.

lina in 2000, and coached the
men and women at ECU before
taking a club-pro job in 2006,

ten victories and two school
records this past weekend, as
they participated in the Blue

by Christopher Newport Uni-
versity.
Both programs really
stepped up again this past
weekend,? head coach Curt
Kraft said. I cannot remember
the last time we had as many
season and lifetime personal
records in a long time as we did
this weekend.
We came away with
another regional qualifier and
two school records, and any-
time you do that I am not sure
we can ask for a whole lot more.
As I have said before, we are
continuing to move in the right
direction in a lot of different
ways, now we have to turn our
focus to the Penn Relays, and
do well there.?

BASEBALL continued from B5
ECU coach Billy Godwin (28) talks with his second baseman Ryan Wood (16) at Clark-LeClair Stadium. Wood continued his offensive surge Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored against the Seahawks.
A complete-game shutout is
tough to do in any level of base-
ball; you kind of have to erase it
and go to the next hitter.?
Nonetheless, Sowers first
complete game of his entire high
school through college career
was impressive.
In the Tuesday game, the
North Lenoir High School
product struck out five and gave
up six hits while walking none.
The win improves Sowers to
4-3 on the season. To put things
in perspective on just how well
he played, a Seahawks player
never touched third base until
Carver's home run.
~
Ive had some tough out- |
ings, like last week against
NC State, they really jumped
on me and scored a bunch of
runs, Sowers said of his short
2-inning performance against
the Wolfpack last Tuesday, in
which he allowed four runs on
five hits. This is something I
needed myself for a little confi-
dence booster. It just feels great
that I came out and helped out
tonight.?
It didn't take long for the
Pirates offense to generate
some noise, coming out in the
bottom of the first and scoring
the opening run on a Corey

Kemp RBI groundout that
scored Ryan Wood. :
The Pirates led 1-0 after the
first and never looked back.
In the fifth inning, the ECU
offense gave Sowers plenty of
run insurance to work with for
the rest of the game by increas-
ing the lead to 5-0. Three
straight run-scoring singles
by Kemp, Brandon Henderson
and Jamie Ray all came with
two outs on the scoreboard and
a balk on behalf of Seahawks
starting pitcher Kyle Lewis
_gave ECU afree run in allowing
Henderson to score.
In the sixth, the Pirates
hats right! Fora!
added another run after Kemp
scored on infield error to make
the margin 6-0.
While the 6-1 win is cer-
tainly a hefty defeat by the
hand of the Pirates, it could
have been worse. With no outs
in the eighth and bases loaded,
ECU squandered away a chance
to put further distance between
itself and UNCW with three
straight outs.
_ The Pirates offense dis-
played their full arsenal against
the Seahawks, however.

things at the end,? he said. If
you go 8-8, then it could be iffy,
_ and thats not what you want
to do.?
With the win over UNCW,
the Pirates are now 1-0 in their
so-called 16 game season.
With 15 left to play and
the schedule that lay ahead,
Godwin must now like the
Pirates chances of making the

Author, professor, activist and

ELISE PHILLIPS
FEATURES EDITOR
_ Yesterday, ECU was hon-
ored with the visit of a woman
ef many talents, Elin OHara
Slavick. Slavick, a professor
of art at UNC-Chapel Hill,
feminist, author, activist, pho-
tographer and world traveler,
she visited ECU to present a
lecture as a part of aie:
Artists Week.

ment, which I feel is a trait all
visual communicators should
strive for,? said- Adam Jacono,
an ECU photography graduate
student and president of-the
ECU Photography Guild, who
invited Slavick to come share
her art. Her work speaks less
about a traditional ~fine art
[to] what I would call socially
irresponsible artwork, and more
about social/cultural issues that
matter in the real world.?
At 5:30 p.m., Slavick pre-
sented a range of her photo-
graphic collections in Speight
Auditorium, from Workers
Dreaming,? a series portray-
ing underpaid, underprivileged
workers closing their eyes as if to

escape from real life, to Travel
Posters,? a collection designed to
show that pictures are not always
worth a thousand words,? as the
old cliché says.
Slavick began the night
showing artwork that she had
drawn in fourth grade. The
piece, which Slavick said she
loves to show, featured her
mother. What is interesting
about this piece is that she is the
only child in the picture and, as
Slavick laughingly said, I am
the youngest of seven.? 7
She also presented work that
she designed from a feminist
point of view, with pieces such
as Mistress,? and a piece from a:
project she designed on the idea
that being a woman is putting
on a masquerade.?
To Elin, artis a tool for change,
notacommodity,? said Frank Stasio
on North Carolina Public Radio ina
March 2008 interview with Slavick.
She uses art to get her students to
think in a new way.?
Slavick told the audience
in Speight Auditorium that she
thinks art can change things.
As an artist, I believe in
the power of art to change the -
world,? she said. I believe art
has enormous power. [It] can
change the way we look at, think
about and act in this world.?
Slavick grew up in a house-
hold where her activist Catholic
father gave her a camera at a
young age, and her German
mother who encouraged her to
draw. According to Slavick, her
upbringing is what pushed her
into the art arena.
Art was a big part of [my]
life,? she said. [T] wasnt allowed
to have coloring books, I had to
use white paper. My parents had
a huge influence on my life.?
Before the lecture, ECU art stu-
dents had a chance to present their
portfolios to Slavick for critique.
From these beginnings,
Slavick now parades her art
around the world. She:has had
exhibits in Hong Kong, Canada,
France, Italy, Scotland, Eng-
land, Cuba, the Netherlands and
across the United States.
Jacono hoped that the lec-
ture would push students to
understand and do something to

in [our] culture [to] find inspi-
ration in Elins lecture about
what can be done to change,? he
said. I think that her visit is a
great follow up to the politically
motivated work up currently
in Mendenhall, and crucial to
issues concerning this election
right around the corner.?

FEATURES EDITOR
The School of Music will
sponsor the Billy Taylor Jazz
Festival, a three-day collabora-
tion of performances, clinics
and workshops this Thursday,
April 24, Friday, April 25 and
Saturday, April 26. The theme
of the festival is The Music of
Dr. Billy Taylor,? who will be
attending the event.
The festival started out as
just the ECU Jazz Ensemble
[but] has grown into this three-
day event. The festival was
renamed, with his permission, in
honor of [Billy Taylor] in 2003,?
said Carroll Dashiell, director of
jazz studies and professor of bass
in ECUs School of Music.
The name was changed to
the Billy Taylor Jazz Festival
after the Greenville native with
an impressive resume. Taylor
is a music composer, arranger,
historian, educator and Jazz pia-
nist. He was also the first Afri-
can-American musical director
on an American national televi-
sion show with his appearance
on The David Frost Show.?
He is the artistic director
of jazz at the Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts in
Washington, D.C., and the
music and arts director for the
CBS Sunday morning TV show,
among other things. He will be
making a special appearance at
the jazz festival. |
The event will include a
concert on Thursday night by
Jazz Bones, directed by ECUs
own faculty member George
Broussard at the Greenville
Hilton Hotel. The next day,
clinics will be held in the A.J.
Fletcher Music Building at 9:15,
10, and 11:30 a.m. Friday night
at 8 p.m. will signal the Billy

Sexy, steamy, deceptive
One scene from the upcoming release of Deception. The sexy, steamy film stars Ewan McGregor, Michelle Williams and Hugh Jackman.
Deception is a must-see.

It isnt the deceit that sells
Deception, an intriguing new
thriller that abandons that
intrigue for a messy and unsat-

Hugh Jackman turn some of
that lethal charm of his loose
on a villain, a smooth, sexy,
seductive and dangerous guy
who wears a suit a little too well
to be trusted.
_ Ewan McGregor stars as
Jonathan, a shy, lonely accoun-
tant, a guy who cant even meet

an auditor, the person who
drops in on businesses, goes
over their books and makes
the few people he meets there
uncomfortable by the very
nature of the job.
And you're not picking
anybody up in a bar by tell-
ing them how much you love
numbers, the order of it, their
symmetry.? 3
Which is why he blurts
an awful lot of personal angst
when the slick, backslapping
Wyatt (Jackman) reaches out
just a bit. Well, that and the pot
they share after-hours.
Next thing Jonathan knows,
he has a friend, somebody he
can hit the bars with, meet on
the tennis court. Next thing
we know Jonathan and Wyatt
have mixed up phones, and no
game? Jonathan finds himself
caught up in the List,? a casual
sex Club for the rich, the confi-
dent, the well-connected.
No names, no rough
stuff, no talking business,?
just a phone call from another
meniber an Are you: ipee

quences roll in the four-star-
hotel hay with the likes of
nameless women with healthy
sexual appetites, women played
by Natasha Henstridge (Elz
Stone, Species) and Charlotte
Rampling (The Verdict), whose
character tells him its the inti-
macy without the intricacy.?
But when Jonathan meets
up with this pretty young thing
he saw on the subway (Michelle
Williams), the casual turns
complicated. Hes smitten. He
wants to break the rules. He
wants to date her. Of course
thats the very moment she
disappears and hes sure some
harm has come to her and
wonders how Wyatt may be
involved.

The offices are sterile, empty--

desperation and dread.
McGregor plays this guy
- with the stooped posture of a
loser, and a convincing Amer-

away Jonathan's despair. Jack-
man, on the other hand, is

New album offers
something for all
_ Atmosphere looks to change the
face of hip-hop
BRIAN MAZUROWSKI
STAFF WRITER
Atmosphere is an underground hip-hop duo
made up of a rapper and a producer from Minneapo-
lis, with a knack for musical ingenuity and soulful
lyrics that explore every facade of life.
~Commonly known for intricate storytelling
type raps, along with a classic underground assort-
ment of beats, Atmosphere offers something for
every fan of hip-hop on their new release, When Life
Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. *
After five full-length albums and a slew of
mixed tapes, collaborations, LPs and EPs, rapper
Slug has a newfound level of maturity in his lyri-
cal content and delivery. The profoundly curious
beats of producer Ant that lace every track on the
album maintain a simplistic and creative sound
with a new commercialism not present on previous
Atmosphere releases.
The depression, rejection and cynicism that
other Atmosphere albums have been so entrenched
by were replaced with an older, more well-rounded
style of rapping in this album.
The rhymes of Slug are no longer so saturated
with sob stories about ex-girlfriends and spite
_ for the commercialism of hip-hop, but life lessons
along with some all-too-human stories of failures
and triumphs. The poetic nature of the raps on the
album, combined with content most anyone can

Get fit for summer
Follow these exercises
for the body of your
dreams
(MCT)
If you've hit an exercise slump,
you might need some motivation
to get you moving. Heres a bit:
Summer is upon us.
Theres no need to panic.
Its still possible to slim down
~in time for the beach, but it will
take a heavy-duty commitment.
That translates into eating
healthful low-cal meals, doing
cardio five days a week along
with strength training for three
days, and staying focused, said
Cynthia Knapen, an Arlington,
Texas, personal trainer accred-
ited with the National Strength
and Conditioning Association.
Her advice: Find a workout
you really enjoy and just do it.
Running burns mega calories
for those who regularly hit the
road or treadmill. But it doesnt
help much if you cant bring
yourself to lace up your run-
ning shoes.
To jump-start an exercise
routine, Knapen has come up
with two of her favorite moves.
They might stir up images of
your high school gym class, but
the addition of weights for one
of them should speed up results.
By the time summer arrives,
you just might be able to fit into
your bikini.
PUSH-UPS
What it works: Entire body.
A Knapen favorite.
What to remember: Suck in
your stomach and dont arch your
back. Do as many as you can.
There are three ways to
do this exercise, depending on
how strong you are. Beginners
should start on their knees.
More advanced folks can go to
_ their toes. Showoffs can use a
chair to hold their feet.
1. Position yourself face-
down with palms flat on the
ground and a bit more than
shoulder width apart. Arms
should be extended.
2. Lower upper body slowly,
bending your arms, until your
nose touches the ground. Keep
your body straight.
3. Push back up to the start-
*
ing position.
ARM SWINGS
~What it works: Biceps
What you need: Weights
What to remember: Start
by inhaling
1. With feet spread apart,
lower yourself into a squat, hold-
ing weight with both hands in
front of you. Arms are extended
but relaxed at the elbow.
2. Squat down as low as
possible, lowering your weight
almost to the floor.
3. Swing arms forward and
then up over your head while
squeezing your glutes, sucking
in your stomach and rising to a
standing position.
4. Return to starting position.
Repeat 8-12 times. Do 2-3 sets.
-ONLINE HELP
Fitness.com is packed with
free exercises to get you in shape
by summer.
Just plug in the body part you
want to target, then add where
you want to exercise (the gym
versus at home) and what kind of
activity you prefer (cardio versus
weight training). One more click,
and suddenly your computer
screen turns into a kind of mini-
gym, with a fitness pro showing
you exercises that work.
There are also low-cal reci-
pes, fitness tips and a body-mass
calculator.
BURNING CALORIES
To peel off the pounds, run-
ning is your best bet. But to get
lasting results, its better to pick
something you'll stick with. To
lose one pound, you must burn
3,500 more calories than you
take in as food. |
Here's a sampling of activi-
ties and the number of calories
burned for a 135-pound person
working out for 30 minutes:
Activity ... ae eee
Walking 2 Sate
Bowling ...
Water ee eee
Calisthenics (moderate) ... 138
Skateboarding ...154 |
Swimming (moderate) ... 186
Jogging ... 215
Stationary bike (moderate) ... 215
Aerobics (high impact) ... 215
Boxing in ring ... 369

ATMOSPHERE continued from C4
relate to, creates apt opportu-
nity for each track to hit a nerve
with the listener.
A new sense of persever-
ance and confidence is appar-
ent in the raps of Slug, as he
tackles more serious topics
such as deadbeat dads, teenage
pregnancy, alcoholism, and an
ever-growing admiration and
love for hip-hop.
Atmospheres beatmaker,
Ant, also strays far from the
expected Atmosphere sound on
this album. Rather then deliver-
ing any sort of rehashed beats,
Ant offers a hypnotically new
edge to this album. Although
the beats on When Life Gives
You Lemons, You Paint That Shit
Gold feel a bit more mainstream,
they still hold the same intrigue
and underground styling that is
present on Atmospheres under-
ground classic God Loves Ugly.
The introduction to the
album features a tame and
soft-spoken Slug rapping over
what sounds similar to some
nightmarish, ballroom-style
elevator music. The modesty of
the album doesnt last long, as
it breaks into the second track
on the album, titled Puppets,?
a proclamation of self-reliance
and realization featuring haunt-
ing pianos along with a teeth-
chattering bass.
Standout track Dreamer?
tells the invigorating story of
a single mothers triumph to
the backdrop of.an epic beat
that sounds like it was made
for a self-help audiocassette.
A similar storytelling style
is displayed flawlessly on the
track, Your Glass House,? but
with a more cynical look at
those tortuous, almost shameful
hangovers.
Other tracks, such as Yes-
terday,? take on a more personal
perspective, with Slug appear-
ing awkwardly vulnerable in
a poetic eulogy to his recently
deceased father.
This is clearly Atmospheres
most progressive and dynamic
album to date. When Life Gives
You Lemons, You Paint That Shit
Gold is a 15-track reinvention
of hip-hop with a firmer grasp
on the musics roots than the
majority of rap featured in the
mainstream today.
Even with a bold new foot
forward for Atmosphere, they
remain loyal to their love for
the sounds of underground and
independent hip-hop.

man in this performance.
Williams is almost as sur-
prising, letting us inside a
woman who is first a lonely
flirt, then a sexpot. She lets
us watch her melt just a little
in the presence of this man
she met the wrong way and
for reasons her mom wouldn't
approve of.
Its a pity the movie kind of
goes off the rails in a chatty,
_explain-it-all (long after we've
guessed it all), drawn-out
finale.
Screenwriter Mark Bom-
back did the last Die Hard
movie, which wasn't nearly as
witty as this, but had similar
third-act issues.
But that sneaky Pete, Jack-
man, the once-and-future Wol-
verine, makes this never less
than watchable. And Williams
(Brokeback. Mountain), in her
biggest screen role ever, shows
us dimensions that suggest a
career to come, someone per-
fectly suited to that professional
deception we call good acting.
