ECU upset over streaker photos

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - An East Carolina University administrator says the student newspaper used poor taste when it published pictures of a streaker who ran onto the field during a football game.

The Daily Reflector of Greenville reports that vice chancellor for student affairs Virginia Hardy said the school neither supports nor agrees with the decision to run the full-frontal photos of the man who was apprehended during last Saturday's football game between East Carolina and Southern Mississippi.

The streaker ran onto the field at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in the middle of a military appreciation ceremony. The newspaper ran three front-page photos and also posted them on the newspaper's website on Tuesday.

Editor in Chief Caitlin Hale said in a statement that the photos were meant as an accurate account of Saturday's events.
