Spring Break
On Sunday afternoon, actresses Ellen Pompeo from ABC's hit drama, "Grey's Anatomy" and Danielle Panabaker from Mr. Brooks, spoke with ECU students about their choices to support Barack Obama in the fast approaching November presidential election. The rally was quite different from Friday's Canvass Cookout, which focused on voter registration and was highlighted by lively music and food.
Jurnee Smollett (The Great Debaters) made a grand entrance Friday at about 4:15 p.m., appearing in front of dozens of ECU students, faculty and staff, members of the community and Sen. Barack Obama supporters, to speak about the importance of voting, registering to vote and Obama's presidential campaign.
Thursday, Sept. 25, in the multi-purpose room of the Student Health Center, students, staff and sexual assault prevention advocates gathered to remember those who perished in the face of sexual assault in a vigil titled, "The Other Side of Silence." "The most important thing for the victim to know is that it is not their fault," said Sue Molhan, Victim Advocate Services coordinator for ECU.
John McCain accused Barack Obama of compiling "the most liberal voting record in the United States Senate" Friday night as the two rivals clashed over taxes, spending, the war in Iraq and more in an intense first debate of the White House campaign. "Mostly that's just me opposing George Bush's wrong-headed policies," shot back the Democrat.
