ECU student arrested in case of alleged mistaken identityT
ELISE PHILLIPS
THE East CAROLINIAN
Last Sunday, ECU junior Jarmi-
chael HarrisT life changed.
Around 7 p.m. on Sept. 28,
Harris was approached by two ECU
police officers who said that he fit the
description of a suspect in an assault
T case that had taken place near Fletcher
Hall just 12 hours earlier. The descrip-
tion? Allegedly, the attacker was a
black male with glasses, roughly 5
feet 6 inches tall.
Harris was subsequently arrested
on Thursday, Oct. 2 in front of
Fletcher Hall on campus. He was
released on an unsecured bond, with
the understanding that he will show
up to his Oct. 22 court date.
The ECU police department was
unavailable for comment.
Harris claims that he was in
his dorm room in White Hall at the
time of the attack, which occurred at
approximately 3 am. The victimTs
name has not been released, but
Harris claims that neither he nor the
victim know each other.
JT donTt know him [and] he
doesnTt know me at all,?T said Harris,
a rehab studies major. Clearly he
wants to know who did it, but ITm
not the guy.? .
Harris, who is also the chief of
staff for ECUTs Black Student Union,
is outraged at the vague description
that landed him in handcuffs.
According to Kyndall Peele,
vice president of BSU, the orga-
nization has been campaigning to
have the race? factor of the ECU
alert system removed, although
this incident involving Harris did
not appear on the alert system at
- the university.
T feel that if theyTre going to
include race, then they need to include
otherraces besides the A frican-Amer-
ican community,? said Peele. If you

are identified while the majority [of
other races] are not. I think that this
just adds to the stereotype that minori-
ties are criminals.?
How often do you receive an
alert, whether itTs off-campus or on-
campus of a black male wearing a -
black shirt? That could be any person
at any time,? Harris said.
Harris says a description other
than race should be used to describe
victims and/or suspects on the ECU
alert system.
When giving a description of
someone, maybe give a descrip-
tion of a tattoo or a scar, some-
thing the average person wouldnTt
have"a birthmark, mole, something,?
Hanmis said.
Hanris also said that he doesnTt feel
that this is aracial case; rather, he would
likethe system to clearly identify people
in order to make a valid arrest.
1 would like to make this very
Clear that this is not a racial case, but
a case of mistaken identity, and this
could happen to anybody,? he said.
Too often, there are these very vague
descriptions [of people].?
Peele agrees.
This has nothing to do with
race,? she said. I believe that it is an
issue of equal opportunity. Our world
is a diverse world and we are trying
to get nid of the race [factor] that is on
everyoneTs head.?
Tomorrow, at 5 p.m. in Hendrix
~theatre, BSU will be addressing the
incident involving Haris.
We will be talking about a solu-
tion [to the problem],? Peele said.
After the meeting, members and
attendees will be marching to the ECU
police station to show their support?
for Harris and to raise awareness about
mistaken identity cases.

Samuel Shalhoub, a senior

is beneficial.
TtTs good in the sense that it
educates the young people in how
those things work so that they
know what theyTre getting into

and so that they are not ignorant
about those things and do not end
up digging themselves a hole or
go into debt or have to declare

Former ECU student, Dr.
Ruba Hamdan, believes Finance
1904 is a great class that every
student should take.
From paying off home mort-
gages to credit card bills I think it
is very important that students take
this opportunity to gain knowledge
of what they will be getting into in

Why Internet comments ki/I polite
discourse
LARA OLIVER
-. THE East CAROLINIAN
WeTve all been there. YouTre reading an article
in a magazine or a newspaper and you think, Oh
my God, this person is an idiot!?
Just a few short years ago, the way many people
would act on this realization would be to get up,
grab a piece of paper, and send a letter to the editor
of the publication entailing their thoughts. YouTd
have your real name and address attached to your
opinion and, if you were lucky, it would be printed
in the newspaper/magazine so you could show all
your friends how justified you were in your opinion "
of that idiot writer.
Well, not today. After seeing the popularity
of commenting on sites like Blogger and Xanga,
major publications felt it necessary to implement:
their own commenting features on the web version
of their print editions.
From major newspapers like The New York
Times to our own paper The East Carolinian,
Internet comments have become almost as neces-
sary as the articles.
But are they really saying anything?
The idea of Internet comments, and the philoso-
phy that is espoused by people who support them,
claims that they allow for an immediate discourse
on the article connected to the article itself.
Theoretically, an article about Governor Sarah
Palin and the current Trooper Gate scandal would
turn into a debate on the problems inherént in
running for national office while in the midst of
an investigation " and whether that should affect
someoneTs bid for vice presidency.
Instead, it turns into a flurry of four letter wane
_ being slung either at the author of the article, fellow
commenters or Mrs. Palin herself.
This is obviously not the polite discourse that
implementing Internet comments intended to
encourage. By allowing for an immediate, gratify-
ing response to the Oh my God, this person is an
idiot? impulse, many readers no longer feel the
need to bother with the slightly longer process of
writing a letter to the editor in order to vent their
frustration.
Personally, I donTt see the point to keeping
Internet comments on sites for newspapers and
magazines. In the context of social sites like
LiveJournal and Blogger, itTs usually someone
their name to their opinion. With magazines and
newspapers, itTs random readers without much
attachment to the article.
Allowing Internet comments on newspapers
and magazine sites allows for nothing but angry
and hateful comments, hidden behind the anonym- .
ity of cyberspace.
It also allows for what has been called sock
puppeting,? where the author of the article creates
alter egos in order to either support their ideas
through the comments or attack those who donTt
agree.
If more publications went through the process
of hiring moderators to trim hateful and unneces-
sary comments from their articles, this probably
wouldnTt be a problem. However, this would prob-
ably be more trouble than itTs worth, considering
how small the ratio of well thought-out comments
to hate speech is.
Many newspapers in California are already
disabling their Internet comments features, and
major sites like Gawker require a person register to
comment on the site, and face deletion if their com-
ments turn into personal attacks and hate speech
rather than discussion of the article.
Hopefully more sites maintained by newspapers
and magazines will attempt the Gawker method of
maintaining Internet comments.
Until then, I think the best solution would be
to just get rid of them all together.

LEWIS CARROLL |
THE EAst CAROLINIAN |
It is no secret that skateboarding has
been under the scrutiny of mainstream soci-
ety since its beginning. But that is simply
because most people do not fully understand
it. Skateboarding is more than just a pastime;
it is a form of art and freedom of expression.
I have been skateboarding since I was a
little sixth grade squirt, and few things have
brought me as much exhilaration and excite-
ment. For some reason it is most peopleTs
belief that skateboarders go out with the sole
purpose of destroying property and causing
mischief, but they couldnTt be more wrong.
Many people today have become dependent
on television, computers and video games
to pass the time and entertain themselves
with little to no physical activity. According
~to the latest statistics on AmericaTs obesity
epidemic by America Sports Data, Inc., 63
percent of Americans are overweight with a
body mass index in excess of 25. Another 31
percent are obese, with a BMI in excess of 30.

people without ambition. Skateboarding is
an excellent.source of cardiovascular activ-
ity "the type of activity that is suggested for
everyone for a minimum of 20 minutes daily as
part of a healthy lifestyle. Skateboarding also
increases your balance, flexibility and reflexes.
In addition to considering the benefits of
skateboarding for your physical health, it is a
mentally healthy activity as well. The adven-
turous nature of skateboarding propels people
into new environments that are exciting and
different. You are able to see a city in a way
that a normal passerby does not. Creative ele-
ments of the landscape that would be fun to,,
skate, which you would never have noticed *
before, begin to come out of the woodwork.
Undoubtedly, the best thing about skateboarding "
is the independence of competing only against
yourself and learning the tricks on your own. A
great place to learn the basics is a skate park.
Locally, the one I enjoy the most is the Backdoor
Skate Shop, which has been in town for three
years. It is located at 108 River Block Road.
This park offers everything you need for a board,
including wheels, bearings, trucks and decks.
Areas of the park include a handrail, pyramid
~and excellent transitions, as well as a four-foot
tall mini ramp (half pipe) with a five-foot concrete
coping extension. Skateboarding lessons start out
at $10 an hour, with prices per session if you need
some assistance. I can only begin to describe the
_ benefits of skateboarding in this article. If you
really want to understand, get out and skate!

WhereTs your
butt going?
LAUREN COLLINS
THE East CAROLINIAN
Not all students at ECU are smokers, but it
would be great if the majority of smokers acknowl-
edged that other people share the air with them.
ECU implemented the 25-foot smoking policy in
2007, yet smokers still linger right at the entrances
of buildings. Aside from walking through the
cancerous cloud of those who light up, people are
forced to wade through the cigarette butts that accu-
mulate around the doors of most campus buildings
as they make their way inside.
If people are clearly going to ignore the rule
and flick their filtered ends throughout the campus,
it would be nice to have a designated place to put
them, as opposed to throwing them all over the
campus grounds. There may be a handful of people
who put their cigarettes out and then place them in
a trashcan, but the rest of those Pirates who choose
to smoke could care less where their butts go.
I actually spent time kicking cigarette butts into
a pile, as I smoked one myself, during a night class
break. Because there was no place to put them,
I dropped mine with the pile and shuffled them
closer to the trashcan. I figured it would at least
make the job of the next campus cleaner slightly
easier. Had there been a pit of sand or the familiar
tin can, I would have gladly placed the cigarette
butts there. There may be a few remaining places
. for butt dumping, but I am starting to believe the
ground is just the best place for most.
There are a few dorms with the small black
boxes for cigarette butts. Ironically, they are located
by the doors of these buildings, so they canTt be
used efficiently. Apparently the sign suggesting the
boxes are not for trash is not clear enough for the
ignorant folks who think a piece or two will be OK.
Of course, why should everyone follow the rules?
ThereTs just a sign for fun.
~ We. should definitely have more places for
dumping our butts. After all, cigarette butts are said
to take 18 months to 10 years to degrade.
Currently, 19 states prohibit smoking in most
public places, including restaurants and some bars.
These states include Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, lowa,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Rhode
Island, Washington and Vermont. Other states are
beginning to take similar action, but North Caro-
lina is currently not listed for the change. Since
tobacco is a key cash crop in the Tarheel state, it
doesnTt surprise me that we havenTt jumped on the
bandwagon yet.
Aside from the obvious health risks to smokers
who puff on their daily cancer sticks, secondhand
« smokes just.as.dangerous. Secondhand smoke is
- also cancer-causing with hundreds of toxic and car-
einogenic chemicals. For nonsmokers, the health
risks arenTt the only concerns regarding campus
smokers. ItTs unpleasant walking through a stinky
puff of smoke on your way to class or suffering an
asthma attack because someone would rather blow
their cancer-causing fun on someone else.
It seems impossible to completely abolish the
smoking on campus, but it would be convenient for
nonsmokers to have the right to a breath of fresh air.
As a smoker myself, I still try to be considerate of
people around me, and I apologize to those I have
disrespected if it bothers them.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of ashtrays con-
veniently located around campus, the presence of
one butt compels me to join the one from my mouth
with those on the ground.
ITm willing to make an effort to keep the
campus clean, but what about everyone else?

When Josh Adams sees other
students at ManhattanTs School
of Visual Arts each plugged
into an iPod, he figures theyTre
being antisocial.
I feel like theyTre trying
to shut people out, maybe even
unintentionally,? says the 18-
year-old Manhattan resident.
For New York University
student Dante Lima, itTs entirely
intentional. With his ear buds in
place, heTs never bothered by
sidewalk hucksters.
- If you want to get away
from them, just start listening
to your iPod,? says Lima, 20.
They donTt approach people
with headphones on.?
Wearing headphones has
become the modern equivalent
of wearing a Do Not Disturb?
sign around oneTs neck.
Perhaps thatTs no surprise.
The MP3 player is only the
latest in a number of gadgets,
starting with the Sony Walk-
man, leading to the cellphone
and now the iPod, that give
people the ability to close off
the outside world.
Shoppers chat on their
cellphones, stopping only to
talk briefly to a cashier. Chil-
dren watch films on the carTs
DVD player instead of play-
ing license-tag bingo. Airline
passengers watch movies on
laptops or answer e-mail on
BlackBerries rather than chat-
ting with the person in the
next seat.
But is tuning out the rest of
the world good for us?
WeTre living in a world
where technology is a huge part
of our lives, but it can be a bless-
ing and a curse,? says Jacqueline
Whitmore, author of Business
Class: Etiquette Essentials for
Success at Work? (St. MartinTs
Press, 2005).
Some people think this
technology can make us more
productive,? she says. But
itTs not helping us with social
skills. ItTs alienating us from
other people.?
Adams, who has down- -
loaded 2,300 songs into his own
iPod, admits he used the device
to duck conversation in high
school. These days, he says, heTs
plugged in less often.
Being in college promotes
being more social,? he says.
Now I normally listen when ITm
going to school or coming home,
vs make the time go by. But if
M PISO PGL by USN 8
meone asks me something,
soulYyD oyL *L ~ANeD [nedTf 9 ~p10y pres2p z ~Ie 095)
I always answer them. I donTt
have it on so loud that I canTt
hear the people around me.?
Many users of portable MP3
players say the devices help
them relieve stress or, particu-
larly at work, concentrate.
A New Jersey manufagtur-
ing foreman says that even 40
years ago, many of his plantTs
employees listened to music
during work. Some of them
still prefer radios to MP3s.
Younger workersT iPods keep the
music from bothering others, he
says, yet may be distracting to
the user.
The younger people are
more wrapped up in their
music rather than using it as
background,? he says. WeTve
encouraged iPods if they do
want to listen to music, but they
have greater concentration if
they donTt.?
If MP3 players help you
tune out noisy co-workers or
help you relax while wait-
ing for a doctorTs appoint-
ment, then whatTs the harm
in cocooning inside your own
technological bubble?
The danger, says one soci-
-ologist, is that we start losing
touch with the people in our
lives _ even if itTs just the
cashier _ because we wonTt
get off the phone or take
off headphones to exchange
_ pleasantries.
Studies show that these
mini-conversations _ with the
same woman at the coffee shop
each morning or the regular
banter with the guy who owns
the gas station _ are impor-
tant to our psychological
well-being.
If you have a regular
routine and you go back to the
same places, your day can be
filled up with these short con-
tacts with people you see regu-
larly,? says Richard Lachmann,
sociology professor at the
University of Albany. People
who donTt have that are really
missing something.?
Evidence suggests, says
Lachmann, that these interac-
tions help us cope with the
stresses of everyday life and
give us a feeling of commu-
nity that is as much good as
having a bunch of cousins who
live nearby.?
Tf people lose that,? Lach-
mann says, itTs going to become
a big problem.?
Still, the fuss about the
iPod strikes some as much ado
about nothin
Although he admits that
we go around in a kind of fog
of technological insulation,?
cultural historian Timothy
Burke says most Americans
already avoid making eye
contact on planes, trains and,
in particular, elevators.
Before the iPod, in sub-
ways or on buses, people carried
books or newspapers. Or they
looked at the ground,? says
Burke, a professor at Swarth-
more College.
In that way, thereTs noth-
ing novel about the iPod. ItTs
just one more way of con-
trolling the social space
around you.?
Bruce MacKenzie, 44,
argues that iPods allow that
phenomenon to be taken
to extremes. ;
Riding the ferry to and from
Hoboken every day, he notes,
EverybodyTs in their own world,
with those things in their ears
blocking out the sound. Often
I give a greeting and thereTs
no reaction because they donTt
even realize ITm sitting next
to them.? .
He prefers to use his own
iPod to enhance already allo-
cated alone time.?
But while MacKenzie dis-
likes the way MP3 players silo
people rather than making them
part of a collective,? he relies on
the devices more and more in his
work as senior vice president
for entertainment marketing at
Manning, Selvage & Lee.
WeTre finding itTs impos-
sible to reach target markets
anymore through traditional
means,? he says.
WeTre using alterna-
tive media, whether iPods
or cellphones, to deliver
branded messages in ways that
interest people.?
He finds it ironic that one
of his projects, the federal
governmentTs VERB anti-
~obesity campaign, encourages
kids to turn off their iPods ©
and computers for one hour a
day of physical activity , but
must use those very devices to
deliver the message.
ThatTs where (kids) spend
their time,? MacKenzie says
with resignation. Even in
the golden age of television,
potentially youTd interact with
those around you. Now youTre
in your own little universe.?

HART HOLLOMAN
THE East CAROLINIAN
When Terence Campbell
takes the field forT the Pirates,
itTs more than just a good
player getting a chance to play
college football. - =
For those who donTt know his
story, Campbell was a starting
tackle for the Pirates as a fresh-
man in 2006, and was selected for
the C-USA All-Freshman team at?
the end of the season. However,
in February of 2007, after feeling
numbness in his chest and arms,
he was diagnosed with a blood
clot in his heart. Two days later,
he underwent surgery to relieve
a condition called acute coro-
nary thrombosis. The surgery
was successful, but his athletic
future was uncertain. He was
forced to sit out the rest of the
year, unable to run, lift weights
or play any kind of football.
It. was kind of difficult
at first, just wanting to do the
things you used to do and not
being able to; [it] was tough,?
said Campbell.
He recovered from the sur-
gery, and his heart was fully
functional when doctors cleared
him to participate this January.
Ft took a lot of work [getting :
back],?? Campbell said. It took
a lot of time and patience trying
not to get back too fast. That was
the most difficult thing.?
Now Campbell is back, and
focused on helping the Pirates
achieve victory. He began the
season as a back up, but man-
aged a lot of playing time in
the rotational system used by
the coaching staff. However, an
injury to starting tackle Stanley
Bryant forced Campbell into
the starting role he enjoyed as
a freshman two years ago. You
wonTt hear Campbell complain-
ing; to him, the transition is
nothing more than stepping up
and contributing what he can
to the team.
ITve been preparing
myself each week as if I was a
starter,? said Campbell. With
the number of plays I play it
wasnTt much of a big difference.
But I just felt like I needed to
step up and help this team out
anyway 1 carn.?
And while some people
may have reservations about his
continuing to play after his
health issues, Campbell is cer-
tainly not one of them. _
T feel strong like I was
~before, and I feel healthy,?
he said.
The coaching staff is also
pleased with CampbellTs return
because of the contributions he
makes to the team both on and
off the field.
Before he had his medical
issue he was really a very good
player for us, and we missed
that,? said Steve Shankweiler,
ECUTs offensive line coach.
Last week against Houston
he began to play like he did
two years ago. He played full
speed. He played very, very
good. Having a good player back
obviously helps the team.? "
CampbellTs situation has
also helped the coaches motivate
other players in the process.
Having a guy comeback
who has overcome what he has,
all you have to do is look at
number 74 and say, ~this is the
example you need to follow,T and "
heTs a great leader for us in that
respect,? said Shankweiler.
However, injuries have
~forced some changes to the
preferred system of rotating the
offensive linemen, which was
so effective in the PiratesT first
three victories. ?
(Campbell] is having to
~play too much. I donTt like for
anyone to play a whole game
and he has pretty much played
ECU SID
two whole games in a row,?
said Shankweiler.
Help should be on the way
for Campbell and the rest of the
offensive line.
If we can get through this
week I think weTll get Stanley
Bryant back and that should help
out,? Shankweiler said. Since
tackle is one of the least expe- .
rienced and deep positions we
have on offense, D.J. [Scott] and -
Terence have pretty much had to
play the whole game for us and I
think itTs affected us.? .
Getting healthy was one of
the focal points for the Pirates
during their off week, but they
will still be short-handed when
. they travel to Virginia this Sat-
urday. Campbell is used to that
kind of grind by now, and you "
can bet he will be ready to go on
game day.

RONNIE WOODWARD
THE EAst CAROLINIAN
DonTt expect to see many
five wide receiver sets from
Virginia this Saturday. The five
players who are most impor-
tant to the Cavaliers offensive
are the five who make up the
offensive line. :
With a formation similar to
coach Ed Henry and the Marshall
High School team in the state
championship game of Remem-
ber the Titans, Houston out-
finessed the Pirates two Saturdays
_ ago with the shotgun formation
and spread offense.
UVA will probably take a dif-
ferent approach this Saturday. The
Cavaliers have been successful in
years past"and this year"when
they physically dominate the
opposing team and win the battles
in the trenches. With four of
its five starters at least 6-foot-6
and over 300 pounds, UVATs
offensive line looks especially
menacing, which ECU coach Skip
Holtz pointed out at his Monday
press conference.
The most impressive. thing
about the PiratesT season opening
wins over Virginia Tech and West
Virginia was the way they domi-
nated physically. ECU hasnTt
played well since then, and there
are a ton of reasons why: there "
have been key injuries, itTs been
an emotional roller coaster and
ECU hasnTt played with the same
physical attitude as it did in the
seasonTs first two games.
To win in Charlottesville
this weekend, ECU will have
to regain that same swagger it
played with over a month ago.
When they get into that
two-back offense, weTre going
to have be stern up front,? said
Holtz of UVA. ItTs going to be a
very physical football game and a
real challenge for our linebackers
and defensive lineman, because
of their size and athleticism with
their offensive lineman. Defen-
sively, they try and stop the run -
and on offense they try and line
up and run the ball. They have
that type of mindset and they do
a good job with it.?
The Cavaliers definitely had
that type of mindset in a 31-0
domination of Maryland this
past Saturday.
~ UVAcame into the Maryland
game struggling on offense,
trying to find an identity, as it
had only scored*20 total points
against.Division-I competition.
Against the Terrapins,
however, UVA looked like the
Cavaliers of old. They ran for
201 yards and controlled the
time of possession and line of
scrimmage, while newly pro-
moted quarterback Mark Verica
managed the game and hit big
plays when the opportunity
was presented.
Part of this ~offensive resur-
gence is due to senior running
back Cedric Peerman, who has
been hampered most of the season
with a knee injury. Peerman
had 17 carries for 110 yards
and a touchdown against Mary-.
land, maybe giving the UVA
offense the physical aspect it had
been missing. "
Ced [Peerman] is a hard-
nosed guy. He runs as hard as
anyone,? wide receiver Kevin
Ogletree told the Charlottesville |
Daily Progress. It was good to
see. He gave us some confidence,
we started doing some things
well and we were moving the
ball "running it well and passing
it well.?

The game seemed destined
for the 1-0 win for ECU but
with 1:01 left in the match,
' Yvonne George found Lauren
Halbert inside the 18-foot net
and put the ball past Campbell
from 11 yards out to send the
match into overtime.
Although each squad had
three attempts in the two over-
time periods, no one could cash
in, and the contest ended 1-1.
This was a tough game,?
said Head Coach Rob Don-
nenwirth. We had to battle for
a 1-0 lead but we couldnTt hold
on. Our backs and Amber played
tough and Alexis is scoring
some big goals. It was a great
team effort but you have to
give credit to UCF for the game
they played.?
ECUTs victory on Friday
marked the first time the Pirates
have won its first three C-
USA contests, all of them on
the road.
Junior Alexis Foltz came
through in the 43rd minute,
and with an assist from fresh-
man Kimmy Cummings put it
into the back of the net to give
the Pirates a 1-0 advantage
at halftime.
Senior Blair Heffner scored
in her second straight game, this
time in the 58th minute to give
ECU the 2-0 lead. Freshman
Jessica Woodward picked up
the assist.on the play. South-
ern Miss tried to jumpstart its
offense late in the contest but
came up short, thanks in large
part to three saves from Camp-
bell in the last 10 minutes.
Campbell turned in her sixth
shutout of the season and third
in C-USA play. The reigning
C-USA Defensive Player-of-
the-Week made five saves, and
is now 19 behind Amy Horton
for the ECU career lead.
T thought we moved the .
ball well in the first half and
Alexis finished a great cross
from Kimmy,? Donnenwirth
said. Our defensive pressure
was very good in the second
half and it helped us create
our second goal.?

the same physical attitude. UVA
held Maryland under 100 yards
rushing and shutout the same
Maryland team that knocked off
Clemson the week before.
The Cavaliers have now "
shutout their last two opponents ©
at home, and it looks like they
might have regained the physical
aspect their program has relied on
for so many years. ECU played
very physically in this seasonTs
first two games, and it will need
to bring that same attitude to the
game this weekend.
