Student senate seeks input on campus issues, spending
BRITTANI MCNEILL
THE East CAROLINIAN
Many ECU students wonder
how their voices can be heard on
campus, particularly when there is
a question as to how to spend the
student budget. The ECU Under-
graduate Student Senate is the body
in charge of making these decisions
on behalf of students, and they are
seeking more student input.
The Undergraduate Student
Senate is the legislative branch of
the Student Government Associa-
tion. They control the allotment of
a portion of student fees. This
money can be used for various
projects around campus, as well as
used to help fund student organiza-
tions. Their purpose is to represent
student interests; however many
students are unaware of the power
of the Student Senate, or the power
that students have to. direct their
efforts and spending.
Student senate president
Mathew Burke says the group is
looking for more student involve-
ment, and working on making
themselves more visible to the
TodayTs

campus community.
oUndergraduate Student Senate
is the direct representation of the
student body at the administrative
level,? said Burke.
Burke says their goal is to
address studentsT needs and to
better their student experience.
There are representatives from
the different colleges and schools
on campus, as: well as class rep-
resentatives are part of the student
senate. Burke says he often talks to
members of various organizations
and sororities and fraternities to
get their ideas on the things that
: affect them.
oWe are here for your needs
and concerns,? said Burke. oWe
would love your input at any
point and time.?
One of the jobs of the senate
is to try to find issues that need
to be addressed on campus, but
students can also bring their con-
cerns to a meeting, or directly to
a student senator. As president,
Burke oversees the senate and
its meetings, and is not. allowed
to offer his opinion or cast.a
vote on issues. But he encour-

ages the student senators to get
student feedback and bring it
to meetings.
oT encourage my senators to go
out and look for problems, look for
issues, talk to students [and] get out
there,? he said.
Members of the student
senate are looking to do just
that. Emmanuel Wilder, student
senator and junior computer sci-
ence major, recently transferred
from Western Carolina Univer-
sity where he also served on the
student senate. Wilder. said he
wants to be involved with the
student body so that people ~feel
comfortable approaching him
with their concerns.
oT want [students] to talk to
me and to say, ~I think this is
messed up, how are you going
to go about changing it??
Wilder, who was sworn in as
a new student senator yesterday,
has been researching past resolu-
tions and is optimistic about what
the student senate can accom-
plish on the studentsT behalf. He
believes that the environment at
ECU is more structured than at

his previous school.
oThe initial feel that I have is
that the set-up they have is more
effective and more in favor of the
students,? Wilder said.
Burke says one reason he
hopes to get more. student involve-
ment is so more students will see
what is happening in student gov-
ernment. He hopes to promote an
open atmosphere in which students
feel comfortable with the legisla-
tive process.
During their meetings, the
senate addresses bills and resolu-
tions. A bill is an issue that the
student senate can vote on and
handle themselves. A resolution
is something they would like to
see done, but requires approval,
cooperation or financial assistance
from the administration or other
departments on campus.
When legislation in the form
of a bill or resolution is introduced,
a senate member brings the issue
forward at a meeting. After doing
his or her research, the senator
drafts legislation and presents it to
the group. After the first reading it
is sent to the appropriate commit-
tee to be reviewed. The committee
makes a definitive statement about
what is to be done, and does more
research in conjunction with the
senator who presented the legisla-
tion. The committee may make
revisions before they bring it back
to the senate.
When the legislation is bibiich
back to the floor the committee is
allowed to talk about it in a non-
debatable question and answer ses-
sion. Senators are only allowed to
ask questions and the committee is
allowed to respond. The legislation
then goes to a debate period. There
are 10 minute rounds of debate,
which are governed by RobertTs
Rules of Order. Each round con-
sists of five alternating affirmative
and negative arguments, limited
-to one minute each. A two-thirds
majority can vote to extend the
debate if necessary.
If an amendment is offered
the legislation goes back to com-
mittee. If not, it goes to a vote. If
approved it goes before the SGA
president who has three options.
He can choose to approve, veto
or delay the issue. If he waits ten

days with no answer, it automati-
cally becomes law. If he vetoes,
it then goes back to the senate
for revision.
At this point the legislation
is no longer in the hands of the
student government. Some reso-
lutions, such as those concerning
academic policy, must go before
the faculty senate. Others must
go before administration in the
area of interest. The measure can
then be approved or sent back
to the senate with suggestions
for changes.
- Students are welcomed at
meetings, and the. senate has
recently included an open forum
in which students can ask ques-
tions or present their opinions on
issues being discussed. They can
also present new issues that they
would like the senate to research.
Meetings are held Mondays at
5 p.m. in the Mendenhall Great
Rooms. For more information or
to get involved, contact Student
Government at 328-4742.

ObamaTs grandmother dies day before election
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Barack Obama during 1979 high school graduation with grandmother Madelyn Payne Dunham.
about hard work,? he said. o~SheTs
the one who put off buying anew
car or a new dress for herself so
that I could have a better life.
She poured everything she had
into me.?
ObamaTs nickname for his
grandmother was oToot,? a ver-
sion of the Hawaiian word for
grandmother, otutu.?
his speeches describe her work-
ing on a bomber assembly line
during World War II.
Madelyn and Stanley
Dunham married in 1940, a
few weeks before she gradu-
ated from high school. Their
daughter, Stanley Ann, was born
in 1942. After several moves
to and from California, Texas,
Washington and Kansas, Stanley
DunhamTs job landed the family
in Hawaii.
Many of.
It was there that Stanley
Ann later met and fell in love
with ObamaTs father, a Kenyan
named Barack Hussein Obama,
Sr. They met in Russian class at
the University of Hawaii. Their
son was born in August 1961,
but the marriage didnTt last long.
She later married an Indonesian,
Lolo Soetoro, another university
student she met in Hawaii. -
Obama moved to Indonesia
with his mother and stepfather at
age six. But in 1971, her mother
sent him back to Hawaii to live
with her parents. He stayed with
the Dunhams until he graduated
from high school in 1979.
- In his autobiography, Obama
wrote fondly of playing basket-
ball on a court below his grand-
parentsT 10th-floor Honolulu
apartment, and looking up to see
his grandmother watching.
It was the same apartment
Obama visited on annual holi-
day trips to Hawaii, a weeklong
vacation from his campaign in
August and his pre-election visit
in October. Family members said
his grandmother could not travel
because of her health.
Madelyn Dunham, who took
university classes but to her
chagrin never earned a degree,
nonetheless rose from a secre-
tarial job at the Bank of Hawaii
to become one of the stateTs first
female bank vice presidents.
oEvery morning, she woke
up at 5 a.m. and changed from
the frowsy muumuus she wore
around the apartment into-a
tailored suit and high-heeled
pumps,? Obama wrote.
After her health took a turn
(AP)
Barack ObamaTs grand-
mother, whose personality and
bearing shaped much of the life
of the Democratic presidential
contender, has died, Obama
announced Monday, one day
before the election. Madelyn
Payne Dunham was 86.
Obama announced the news
from the campaign trail in Char-
lotte, N.C. The joint statement
with his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng
said Dunham died peacefully
late Sunday night after a battle
with cancer.
They said: oShe was the
comerstone of our family, and a
woman of extraordinary accom-
plishment, strength, and humil-
ity. She was the person who
encouraged and allowed us to
take chances.?
Obama learned of her death
Monday morning while he was
campaigning in Jacksonville,
Fla. He. planned to go ahead
with campaign appearances. The
family said a private ceremony
would be held later.
Republican John McCain
issued condolences to his oppo-
nent.
oOur thoughts and prayers
go out to them as they remember
and celebrate the life of someone
who had such a profound impact
in their lives,? the statement by
John and Cindy McCain said.
Last month, Obama took a
break from campaigning and flew
to Hawaii to be with Dunham as
her health declined.
Obama said the decision to
go to Hawaii was easy to make,
telling CBS that he ogot there
too late? when his mother died
of ovarian cancer in 1995 at 53,
and wanted to make sure othat
I donTt make the same mistake
twice.?
Outside the apartment build-
ing. where Dunham died, report-
ers and. TV cameras lined the
sidewalk as two police officers
were posted near the elevator.
Signs hanging in the apartment
lobby warned the public to keep
out.
Longtime family friend
~Georgia McCauley visited the
10th-floor apartment where
Obama had lived with his grand-
parent.
oSo many of us were hoping
and praying that his grandmother
would have the opportunity to
witness her grandson become our
next president,? said state Rep.
Marcus Oshiro, an Obama sup-
porter. oWhat a bittersweet vic-
tory it will be for him. Wow.?
~The Kansas-born Dunham
and her husband, Stanley, raised
their grandson for several years
so he could attend school in
Honolulu while their daugh-
ter and her second husband
lived overseas. Her influence on
ObamaTs manner and the way he
viewed the world was substan-
tial, the candidate himself told
millions watching him accept
his partyTs nomination in Denver
in August.
o~SheTs the one who taught me
oShe was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accom-
: plishment, strength, and humility.?
BARACK OBAMA AND MAYA SOETORO-NG
DEMOCRATIC
: PRESIDENTIAL CANIDATE AND HALF SISTER
for the worse, her brother said on
Oct. 21 that she had already lived
long enough to see her oBarry?
achieve what sheTd wanted for
him.
oT think she thinks she was
important in raising a fine young
man,?* Charles Payne, 83, said in
a brief telephone interview from
his Chicago home. oI doubt if it
would occur to her that he would
go this far this fast. But sheTs
enjoyed watching it.?
Stanley Dunham died in
1992, while ObamaTs mother
died in 1995. His father is also
deceased.
When Obama was young, he
and his grandmother toured the
United States by Greyhound bus,
stopping at the Grand Canyon,
Yellowstone Park, Disneyland
and Chicago, where Obama
would years later settle.
_ It was an incident during his
teenage years that became one of
ObamaTs most vivid memories
of oToot.? She had been aggres-
sively panhandled by a man
and she wanted her husband to
take her to work. When Obama
asked why, his grandfather said
Madelyn Dunham was bothered
because the panhandler was
- black.
The words hit the biracial
Obama olike a fist in my stom-
ach,? he wrote later. He was
sure his grandparents loved him
deeply. oAnd yet,? he added, oTI
knew that men who might easily
have been my brothers could still
inspire their rawest fears.?
Obama referred to the inci-
dent again when he addressed
race in a speech in March during
a controversy over his former
pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
oT can no more disown him than
I can my white grandmother,?
he said.
Dunham was oa woman
~who loves me:as much as she
loves anything in this world but
who once confessed her fear of
black men who passed her on
the street.?
Still, much of who Obama
is comes from his grandmother,
said his half sister.
oFrom our grandmother, he
gets his pragmatism, his level-
headedness, his ability to stay
centered in the eye of the story,?
she told The Associated Press.
oHis sensible, no-nonsense [side]
is inherited from her.?

THE East CAROLINIAN
Last week, a 17-year-old boy in Ohio was shot
and wounded in the arm by a man who feared that
the boy was trying to steal his McCain/Palin sign.
This is absolutely insane. When did it become
acceptable to shoot at a person because you think
that they are going to steal or vandalize your cam-
paign sign?
According to Kenneth Rowles, the shooter, the
youth jumped out of an SUV and yelled, oThis is
for Obama.? Rowles then proceeded toT fire three
warning shots in order to scare the youth away.
One of these shots ended up in the minorTs arm.
Whether Rowles was aiming for the boy or not,
it is completely unacceptable to shoot a gun at or
around a person because of a campaign sign.
I agree with standing up for a cause and sup-
porting what you believe. One way of showing
your support is to post campaign signs in your
yard. However, it is common knowledge that kids
do dumb things, such as stealing signs from yards.
So why would a person think that shooting a rifle,
even as a scare tactic, is acceptable retaliation?
RowlesT behavior is only reinforcing the stereo-
type of the gun-loving Republican, and the stigma
attached to people labeled this way. His behavior
only supplies fuel for the argument about how guns
are bad. His behavior reflects poorly on those who»
support McCain, because it says that McCainTs
supporters are willing to take a chance at wounding
people over miniscule things.
It was only a sign. People need to get a grip
on reality. You donTt fire a gun at another person,
unless that person is threatening your life or liveli-
hood.
This election is a pivotal one, and we all need
our voices to be heard, but that doesnTt justify the
fact that a man shot someone over his campaign
sign. Instead of allowing the police to do their job
by detaining the teen for vandalism, Rowles took
matters into his own hands and ended up shooting
him. Now Rowles is facing felony charges " what
good does that do McCain?
If convicted, Rowles will lose all voting rights
for future elections. Good job, Rowles. I hope
his fanaticism will teach everyone that enough is
enough. There is a line that should never be crossed,
and shooting someone because you fear that your
campaign sign is going to be harmed is not in. any
way acceptable.
All I have to say is; I am so glad this election
will be over today. The faster we find out who
won, the faster people can get mad or get glad and
get over it!

THE EAst CAROLINIAN
When you hear people discuss genocide, odds
are you envision the holocaust. But sadly, genocide
is not a-thing of the past. Case in point: Darfur.
Darfur has been completely neglected. The
people in this region had very little food, and even
less water. When these people saw they had nothing
else to lose, they attempted to save themselves, and
their fellow neighbors, by fighting back.
In February of 2003, two local rebel groups
from the Darfur region of Sudan incited an upris-
ing against the mainly Arab government in Khar-
toum, the Sudanese capital. The government was
accused of oppressing non-Arab people, as well as
completely neglecting Darfur. When the uprising
began to take hold, the government feared that
other regions of Sudan would take a cue from
them as well, so they hired the Janjaweed militia
privately to erase the problem altogether. The gov-
ernment has denied ties to the Janjaweed militia; "
however, records show that on several occasions
they provided them with large amounts of money.
The militia is comprised of locally recruited Arab
men, along with the Sudanese military. The mili-
tia members go from tribe to tribe, employing a
scorched-earth campaign. Women and children
are raped, tortured and killed on a daily basis.
They steal anything of value, poison the water
. supply and burn villages to the ground. To date,
approximately 400,000 people have been killed,
and nearly 2 million people have been displaced
from their homes.
Yet, how often do you hear about this? A few
commercials here and there have been aired on TV,
and a tribute CD has been produced. However, this
small amount of attention is not enough to truly
address this issue. ITve sat through hours and hours
of history classes that have expressed the dire need to
always remember history so it does not repeat itself.
So, why has nothing been done to help the millions
of people who not only need, but WANT, our help?
As a nation of educated people I feel itTs our duty as
human beings to do whatever we can to learn from
past mistakes and help the nation of Sudan.
I am certainly not the first person to have
thought of this idea. STAND is an umbrella organi- .
zation made of over 600 colleges and high schools
who hope to stamp out genocide, specifically in
Darfur. They conduct various activities in order to
raise money to donate to this cause, and are always
doing what they can to spread awareness.
The crisis in Darfur is not going to correct itself.
The groups conducting the genocide in the country
are paid by the government, and literally have
complete control over all the civilians. These people
witness things that our sheltered eyes have never
laid eyes upon. Kofi Annan, the former United
Nations Secretary General, has called it oa little
short of hell on earth.? So instead of looking the
other way, get active and help your fellow man!

then what?
LARA OLIVER
THE EAst CAROLINIAN
ITve got some bad news. ItTs about your can-
didate.
Let me put this gently: thereTs a very good
chance that whoever youTre voting for this year
might not win.
I know, itTs scary. That other guy? He totally
opposes everything you stand for. He might even
put those people in charge. You know the ones ITm
talking about. The ones who give you mean looks
whenever youTre driving around and they see your
bumper stickers. Yeah, those people.
Does it really matter who ITm talking about?
Depending on which dude youTre voting for in the
coming weeks, you probably took that paragraph
with a grain of salt. ae
Like most people, ITm getting pretty sick and
otired of all the negativity being thrown around in
this campaign. On one side, we hear jokes making ~
fun of how old McCain is and how it Depends®
whether or not heT II be a good leader. On the other,
jokes about how Obama makes a better cocktail
companion than a leader are being slung around.
Either way, itTs just a lot of trash talking or an
attempt to hide everyoneTs fears of othe other.?
Back in 2000, I was too young to vote in the
election, but I supported Al Gore. When he lost, he
fought to prove the Electoral College swayed the
vote away from what the people and the government
both wanted. Supporters of Bush coined the phrase
oSore/Loserman 2000,? suggesting that there was
no truth to the accusations and portraying Gore and
Lieberman as a muttering bunch of sour grapes.
In the 2004 election,.worries over being seen
as another Al Gore caused Kerry and Edwards to
immediately concede the election to Bush instead
of fighting for recounts in swing states.
But this year, it seems weTre not even waiting
for polling to be over to begin the polarization that
usually occurs after Election Day.
From slashed tires at Obama rallies and a made-
up charge of assault from a McCain supporter in
Pennsylvania, to accusations of racism and thievery
against McCain supporters-- it seems impossible
for either side to admit that the other side might,
just might, support their candidate for reasons
other than race.
I encourage readers to try a little exercise ITve
~ been doing the past couple weeks. Close your eyes,
take a few breaths and think, oMy candidate might
not win.?
ItTs scary at first " you imagine cities burning,
women and children lamenting in the streets, aliens
attacking us in our most vulnerable state. Let me
assure you: that wonTt happen.
. What can, and has, happened, is: youTll be
disappointed, youT ll probably have to scrape your
McCain/Obama ~08 sticker off your car the next
morning with a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
So, in the spirit of this great odemocracy? thing
I keep hearing so much about: DonTt let this election
keep bringing out the worst in us
What can win is our ability to think, feel and
act in a sympathetic manner. If you donTt like your
new President, then get more involved in local and
national politics. Amazingly enough, we elect more
than just the President in November, and casting
your vote for a politician who represents your ideals
can be done every year, from members of the local
school board to justices.
So, as ITve been trying to do myself, I think
itTs important that we all take a deep breath and
remember, oItTs not the end of the world.?
That is, unless Palin ends up being President.
Just kidding.

Recently approved as an

the ECU Skateboarding Club is
designed to give skateboarders

oThis club is like a civil

Article Il, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S.

whose vision is to strengthen
and to change societyTs negative

The club is more geared
toward experienced skateboard-
ers rather than beginners inter-
ested in learning the basics of
skateboarding.
According to Mark Macchi-
oni, a team rider and employee
of Fusion Skate Park, there are
two types of skateboarders at
ECU: those who skateboard as
a hobby and those who use a
skateboard for transportation
purposes, with the latter being
the most prevalent.
Wilson says that the response
has been positive so far, with
close to 40 people interested in
becoming members.
While the club seeks to obtain
respect from law enforcement
and the community, its author-

Take the music group, Radio-

latest album Jn Rainbows, the
group gave fans the chance to
download the entire album for
free, which many did. The same
goes for Trent Reznor with Nine

Music fans, who in the past have

of money for an album, are now
given many chances to freely

According to the universityTs
Ore Campus Student Services,
: approximately 78 percent of
: ECU students live off campus.
Some live in apartment
: complexes, while others live in
: houses in neighborhoods with
other citizens of Greenville.
On Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m., an
ECU Neighborhood Forum was
held at the City Hall in Greenville
to discuss topics that. initially
: affect off-campus students.
oWe have a room full of
people who affect peopleTs live
positively,? said Luc.a Bran-
non, interim coordinator of the
program that services commuter
students.
This was the first meeting of
the year for the forum and sev-
eral representatives from around
campus attended.
Dr. Roeder from the ECU
Dean of Students, ECU Vice
Provost Kemal Atkins and the
ECU Police, were among the
: ones in attendance.
Residents of Greenville and
students were also in attendance
at the forum, where several
topics related to students were
discussed at the forum.
* One topic discussed
was a new program that is being
implemented this year called
Pirate Treasure. Pirate Treasure
is an effort made possible by the.
ECU Off-Campus Student Ser-
vices, with the purpose of taking
care of all items left behind when
students leave their apartments or
houses after the semester is over.
Televisions, microwaves, mirrors
and many other items are often
: left behind in dumpsters or in
: rooms only to be thrown away.

is to salvage and recycle the
items left in neighborhoods after

ECU is handling the issue of
freshmen living in off-campus
apartments.
° The ECU Off-Campus
Student Services helped pass out
welcome back bags to students
that include information on
recycling, city ordinances and
important contact numbers.
e Talk of a mediation
center was discussed, which
would be a place for off-campus
students to resolve any issues
they may have with neighbors
or anything else in their com-
munity.
ECU Off-Campus Student
Services serves off-campus stu-

According to their brochure,
their mission and purpose is to
work with students and the com-
munity to address community
conflict, to maintain a safe and
healthy living environment and
to assist in off-campus living
needs in the City of Greenville
and to commuting students.
Their services include city
ordinance education, self-defense
training, tips for.good relation-

other seminars and panels that
teach and encourage good com-
munication among neighbors in
their communities..
The ECU Neighborhood

The Turning Point
With 5:11 remaining in the
game, ECU orchestrated a
clutch, 10-play, 46-yard drive
to tie the game at 10 with a
little over a-minute left in regu-
lation. The. key play ofthe drive
was a conversion of fourth-
and-10, with a 13-yard pass
from Patrick Pinkney to Davon
Drew to get the Pirates down to
the UCF 23-yard-line. Pinkney
and Drew also hooked up again
with a 18-yard pass play a few
plays later on a third"and-nine
to put ECU in scoring posi-
tion. Norman Whitley scored.
two plays later on a two-yard
touchdown run. After the drive,
the momentum swung heavily
in the PiratesT favor and stayed "
with them until they eventually
won in overtime. :

Sunday night, ECU put itself in
prime position to win the East
Division title and go to the
Conference USA championship
game. Currently, the Pirates sit
tied for first place with Mar-
shall. The Thundering Herd will
visit Dowdy-Ficklen this Satur-
day in a pivotal C-USA clash.
The winner will basically have
a two-game lead in the EastT
Division with about a quarter
of the season left to play.

On a Halloween afternoon
with the conference champion-
ship at stake, the ECU soccer
team received the ultimate treat,
beating Marshall and becoming
conference champions for the
first time ever in the programTs
history. The victory gives the
Pirates an overall record of 12-3-
4 for the season, and places them
as the No. 1 seed in the upcoming
Conference USA tournament.
It was also the second time
in university history that an
ECU team won a regular season
C-USA title. The first was the
As both teams battled through
overtime, it was HeffnerTs play
that put the icing on the cake. On
a beautiful cross by sophomore
Jessica Cunningham, Heffner
headed the ball past the Marshall
keeper, solidifying the confer-
ence title.
oHonestly you canTt put into
words how amazing it felt, espe-
cially the game winning goal,?
Heffner said of her performance.
oTt being senior day just added to
the emotions.? .
_ It was clear that the teamTs
ultimate goal had been estab-
lished and high emotions were on
display at Bunting Field after the
game-winning goal was scored.
ooWeTve worked so hard this
year towards the conference
championship, so it feels great

baseball team, which won the
2004 C-USA championship.
The first goal of the game
came early, as senior Blair Hef-
fner found the back of the net,
giving the Pirates a 1-0 lead. The
Pirates were able to put another
one in before halftime, giving
them a safe two-goal advantage
as the first half expired.
But the Thundering Herd hit
the field in the second half with a
new attitude and stole the show.
It was clear they. would do
anything possible to shut down
the PiratesT dreams, and their
play demonstrated just that.
MarshallTs Ericka Duncan short-
ened ECUTs lead with an early
second half goal, and went on to
assist Angela DeSumma for the
match equalizer. Both defenses
remained strong throughout the
rest of the period forcing the T
game into overtime.

said Heffner. oWe all signed a
covenant at the beginning of the
season, conference champions
being at the top, so being able to
check that off is a great accom-
plishment.?

Marshall came close to ruin-
ing ECUTs title chase with its
furious comeback"something

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Opinion: ESPN 1s ruining college football
AILEEN DEVLIN |
THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Dwayne Harris returns a punt with the ESPN sign draped over the stands in the background.
RONNIE WOODWARD
Tue East CAROLINIANT
ESPNTs over-used ocollege
football lives here? slogan is so
true, itTs sad. The self-proclaimed
oWorldwide Leader in Sports?
currently has a stranglehold on
college football, and itTs ruining
the sport.
With no restraint, ESPN
is regularly showing college
football games Tuesday through
Sunday, including ECUTs 13-10
win at UCF Sunday night.
So whatTs the problem with
ESPN showing college foot-
ball five or six days out of the
week?
First of all, these football
players are student-athletes.
When television forces them
to play football games on days
other than Saturday, they are
blatantly ignoring the student
aspect of student-athlete. Play-
ing a college football game is
not a simple thing, especially
in a conference as spread out as
~Conference USA. The three and
a half hours of football shown
on television is simply the final
piece of the puzzle.T
For last Tuesday nightTs
ESPN game between Marshall
and Houston, the visiting Cou-
- gars departed the Houston air-
port Monday at 1:30 p.m. and
returned at 3 a.m. on Wednesday,
Houston Sports Information
director Chris Burkhalter said in
an e-mail. So HoustonTs players
probably missed at least two days
of classes, just so they could
lose a football game on national
television.
And we wonder why so many
football players are kicked out
of school or suspended for prob-
lems with academics.
After ECUTs game Sunday
night, the teamTs flight landed in
Greenville around 5 a.m. Monday
morning. I imagine there werenTt
too many football players in class
just a couple of hours later, and
I donTt blame them. If I were a
football player, I wouldnTt be in
class the morning after playing
a football game and flying from
Orlando to Greenville all in one
night.,
So does ESPN really care
about the discomfort it causes
student-athletes by playing these
nontraditional football games?
oThe television networks get
to pick the games they wish to
show, and ECU has little control
over the decision to play a game
on a day other than Saturday,?
ECU Athletics director Terry Hol-
land said in an e-mail last week.
Well, that answers that ques-
tion.
~Aside from the academic
issue, ESPN has created a false
sense of the exposure that teams
receive by playing these non-
Saturday games.
Eleven years ago, ESPN first:
began showing Thursday night
games on a weekly basis"and ~
it worked.
It worked because the net-
work found a niche, showing
high-profile match-ups that
attracted national audiences.
But in recent years"especially
this one"the Thursday night
game has been devalued because
playing a football game on a day
other than Saturday isnTt a big
deal anymore: ItTs normal. ESPN
has recognized this, shifting its
high profile game of the week
to a Saturday night broadcast
on ABC"actually, oESPN on
ABC,? whatever that means.
I also have to question how
much exposure ECU got by
playing UCF on Sunday night,
especially when the announcers
spent~much of the broadcast talk-
ing about the BCS, politics, the
Heisman Trophy, more BCS and .
anything else except the dismal
game being played in front of
them. Most UCF fans who cared
enough to watch the game actu-
ally attended it. A person who
wanted to watch football"but
didnTt have any ties to either
school"was probably watching
the NFL game between the New
England Patriots and Indianapo-
lis Colts, which was happening at
the same time as the ECU game.
That means that ECU fans were
the main ones being oexposed?
to the game.
Despite the fact that ECU
has two non-Saturday games
this season, Holland tries his
- best to keep ECUTs,home games
on Saturdays. According to Hol-
land, ESPN wanted to show this
yearTs ECU-West Virginia game
on Thursday night, but Holland
wanted to do whatTs best for
all involved, and the two sides
agreed to play the game on the
second Saturday of the season.
oNon-Saturday games pro-
vide wonderful exposure for
ECU and our athletic program
on television, but those games are
usually not well-attended, even
when the tickets have been sold,?
Holland said. oOur loyalty is to
the fans who come to support our
team each and every home game.
Therefore, we do our best to keep
- our home games on Saturdays to
show our loyalty to those who
come and sit in the heat, cold,
rain and snow to cheer for the
Pirates.?
Holland deserves credit for
his unwillingness to give in to
ESPN, and I wish there were
more people like him in college
football. These nontraditional
football games do more harm
than good, but not enough people
realize that.
So congratulations ESPN,
college football does olive here.?
Unfortunately.

ECU place kicker Ben Hart- just one of eight third-down
man drilled a 39-yard field goal
in overtime to lift the Pirates to a
13-10 win over the University of
Central Florida Sunday night.
The Pirates improved to 5-3
this season, 3-1 in Conference
USA play. UCF dropped to 2-
6, 1-3.
HartmanTs game-winner, the
third of his career, followed an
interception by ECU freshman
cornerback Emanuel Davis on
the first play of overtime. Davis
stepped in. front of a pass by
UCF quarterback Michael Greco,
giving the Pirates an opportunity
to finish off rally that started in
the final minutes of regulation.
ECU tailback Norman Whit-
, ley, who rushed for 135 yards in
the game, scored from two yards
out with 1:51 left in regulation to
tie the game at 10-10.
That started a wild run to the
finish with both teams turning the
ball over once, but neither could
convert.
Greco, who was just 9-of-21
for 142 yards passing, fumbled at
the UCF 46 with 33 seconds left.
Davis recovered for ECU. Davis
had one interception, one fumble
force, one fumble recovery and
SIX tackles i in his most significant
action of the season.
After the late Davis fumble
recover, PiratesT quarterback
Rob Kass was intercepted on the
next play by Johnell Neal. The
Knights then ran out the clock
to play for overtime.
UCFTs defense dominated the
game for the first three and a half
quarters, but couldnTt finish.
The Knights led 10-0 at
halftime after a 54-yard scoring
pass from Greco to Jamar New-
some and a 49-yard field goal by
Daren Daly.
The KnightsT defense, mean-
while, was manhandling ECUTs
opportunities. Hartman tried to
salvage something for ECUTs
offense, but missed on attempts
from 48 and 46 yards in the
second quarter.
ECUTs defense took over in
the third period, limiting UCF
to one first down and just seven
yards in the quarter. Hartman
finally connected, nailing a 27-
yard field goal to cut the Pirates
deficit to 10-3.
Senior Patrick Pinkney, who
replaced Kass in the second half,
connected on six passes for 84
yards in limited action. Tight end
Davon Drew had his most pro-
ductive game of the year, hauling
in six catches for 89 yards"
including a crucial 13-yard
reception on a fourth-and-10,
which kept ECUTs game-tying
drive alive late in regulation.
Linebackers Pierre Bell and
Nick Johnson led the charge
for ECUTs defense. Each player
recorded a sack, while Bell had
a game-high nine tackles and
Johnson had three tackles for
