More
than 9,000 people filled Minges Coliseum on the campus of East Carolina
University, Wednesday, April 11, 2001, to listen to a speech by President George
W. Bush. Bush was introduced by Chancellor Richard Eakin, who
presented the former majority owner of the Texas Rangers an ECU baseball team
jersey. His visit to the campus was the first by a sitting U.S. president
and he drew a record crowd. An ECU Marching Pirates Presidential Band was
formed to provide entertainment for the event.
