A Christmas Poem
ByCHARLESGRIFFIN
And now we will celebrate another Christmas
Fat and jolly men will authorize red lights
Wreaths and garlands of shiny plastic
To delight fat children's eyes
while
Orphans sing in disharmony
to beg
From a passing soldier
and old women cry
For the smiles that are gone
and the past
In a horror of blood and death
and life alone
Here is peace and here is cheer
Winter comes in seethrough bags
Everyone wants
no one lacks
Life is very merry with Christmas charity
And the official word from the Pentagon
Is that every effort will be made
to show
A soldier giving a child some fruitcake
Christmas dinner at an Army sponsored orphanage
Anything that will help the public forget
Dead babies lying in the dirt of Viet Nam
God rest ye merry gentlemen
you housewives
And bankers and brickmasons
you Senators
And lawyers and Deacons of the Church
Let nothing ye dismay
wrap up the plaster doll
In swaddling burlap and place it
in shredded paper
painted straw for the occasion
And listen once more to the storv
Of a coupie who came looking for lodging
And found no place to stay

In other business, John
Schofield, SGA president, an-
nounced that a continuation of
the Reading Day will be con-
sidered by the Calendar Com-
mittee of the Faculty Senate at
its next meeting. Student mem-
bers will be present, he said.
Schofield said that the rea-
son students were not present
at the earlier meetings of the
Calendar Committee w as
cause he had made a mistake
in sending the information the
them.
Schofield also proposed to
the Legislature the ECU join
with other schools m the state
in hiring a full time student
lobbyist in order that students
have a better voice in the educa-
tional systems of the state.

Academic freedom at ECU
was the topic of a meeting
sponsored by GAP, a group of
activist students, Tuesday Dec
16.
The meeting held at the
Methodist Student Center, was
attended b V various
administrators, faculty
members and representatives of
the SGA, as will as interested
students.
A GAP spokesman stated,
This meeting was held in
response to the firing of (Mike)
Flinn, (Tony) Cacalano and Di.
(William) White. It was meant
to eastabIish lines of
communication within the
University which did not exist
prior to this session. It was
hoped that this dialogue would
lead to positive and definite
action on the part of both the
students and the
administration
Dr. Henry C. Ferreli, Jr.
talked with the students or the
topic of the American
Association of University
Professors (AAUPl in the area
of academic freedom
Speaking on behalf of the
American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) and its role in insuring
academic freedom was Dr.
Philip Adler, the chairman of
the Greenville ACLU chapter.
James B. Mallory, Dean of
Men, explained to the group

to live in the dorms due to
,ncial reasons and discussed
the prospects of housing
improvements in the future.
Mike Flinn and Tony
Cacalano from the school of
art addressed the "rap session
on the subject of campus
involvement. SGA president,
John Schofield. secretary of
internal affairs, Tom Clune;
and secretary of external
affairs, John Dixon discussed
proposals before the SGA
concerning the "pass-fail
system the reading day,
grade appeals board and
student representatives on
Faculty Senate committees.
Di. John B. Davis, chairman
0f the Faculty Senate,
discussed student
representation on the
committees, as well as the role
of the department heads in
re-appointment of faculty
members.
In a heated discussion
relating to the hiring and firing
of faculty members at ECU Dr.
Robert Williams, University
Provost, said that a faculty
member without tenure may
be dismissed at the discresion
of the department head,
subject to the approval of the
Provost, thi - President and
the President of the University.
He added that there was no
appeal board for non-tenured
faculty members and informed
the group that the four did not
by necessity review each
dismissal.
Williams also noted that
dismissal terms f0r a
non-tenured member are vague
but any re-structuring of
dismissal procedures would
have to be initiated by
President Jenkins.
Dr. James Tucker, Dean of
Student Affairs, was present in
the audience, but did not speak
to the assembly. "Rap session"
sponsors invited Dr. Jenkins to
appear, but he was unable to
attend.
A GAP spokesman reflected
on themeager student
attendance at the session:
"GAP would like to thank
all those who participated in
the day long dialogue,
especially the members of the
faculty and administration who
were concerned enough about
communication with the
student body, to speak at the
sessions
The spokesman added, "The
small number of students
attending the session, we feel,
is an insult to all those who did
participate
Dean Mallory finalized the
statement by saying, "We have
always had an apathetic
campus. That may begin to
change now, but not if the
students continue to refuse to
open their eyes and begin to
work for their own education
Board chairman appoints committee

A special committee of the appointed last week by the Board, to study and
Publications Board was Chipper Linville, chairman of

The bill was sent to the
Student Affairs Committee and

introduced by Caroline Raby
that would allow for the instal-
lation of maps of the campus
and greek houses.
The bill specified that the
maps would be permanent
lighted fixtures. The bill was
sent to the Student Affairs
Committee.
A resolution was introduced
by Robert Adams that would
permit the Fountamhead to
publish more than twice
weekly. It was sent to commit-

RECORD BAR
IF you want something more than just a
stereo console, and something less than
i houseful of electronic equipment, see
the KLH Model Twenty-Four.
The Model Twenty-Four is a complete
stereo music system that plays records, FM
broadcasts, AM too if you wish, plus any-
thing (such as a tape recorder) you care to
plug into it. Instead of looking like a
Victorian hope chest or an electrician's
nightmare, it comes in three compact and
unobtrusive walnut cabinets that slip
gracefully into a living room. It won't take
up much of your valuable living space, and
doesn't take a pilot's license to operate.
Bui what sets it even further apart from
other stereo equipment is the level of per-
formance it delivers. It sounds-believe us
-like twice the price. That's why it's the
lust-selling, most-talked-about stereo sys-
tem on the market.

The
Stereo
Suitcase
THE KLH Model Twenty is the stereo
music system against which all the
others are measured.
The Model Twenty was the first stereo
system to put all of the performance asso-
ciated wit h separate audio components into
one package. More accurately, into three
simple and handsome walnut packages that
just plug together and play.
When the Model Twenty appeared, the
experts said that it would take an extra
three or four hundred dollars-plus a lot
more complexity-to make any real
improvement on its startling performance.
That still holds.
??
T
Ask anyone who owns KLH stereo equip-
ment about its performance and value.
Then seek out the Model Twenty-Four
and judge it critically for yourself.
You won't have trouble finding one in a
store. Just follow that well-beaten path.

The Model Eleven lets you take
high-performance stereo wherever
there is an AC outlet. It will fill a dorm room, a
summer cottage, or the living room back home
with the kind of sound once available only from a
massive and expensive
sound-system.
Built around a remark-
able pair of miniature
KLH speakers, the Model
Eleven provides a solid mmsssmat
bass response unmatched by many big consoles.
Its electronics are "contoured" to provide just the
amount of power needed by the speakers at vari-
ous frequencies, and they provide enough power
overall to fill a big living room or a small house.
The automatic turntable is built to KLH specin-
cat ions by Garrard, and is equipped with a Picker-
ing cartridge with a diamond stylus. There s a full

The KLH Model Twenty-One is even

recordings.
It won't do everything. It isn't stereo,
and it doesn't play records. It's just the best

The Model Twenty plays mono or stereo
records and FM broadcasts. You can have
it with AM radio as well. And there are
jacks for making or listening to tape record-
ings, or for headphones. The Garrard turn-
table, made to KLH specifications, has a
low-mass tone arm and Pickering cartridge
with diamond stylus. Vernier tuning and a
"zero-center" meter help bring in the most I
difficult FM stations.
But the sound quality is what KLH
owners talk about. The Model Twenty has
the range and power needed to fill even the

Great-Sounding
Phonograph.
Where is it?
KLH designed the Model Eleven-W stereo
phonograph to produce a maximum of music
with a minimum of visible equipment.
You will have to look hard to spot the
Model Eleven-W in a room. Its control
center is just a bit bigger than the records
it plays, and the speakers are the size of
shoeboxes.
But you don't have to search for the
sound. It's as big as all indoors-the kind
of sound produced only by massive and
expensive audio systems.
The secret of the Model Eleven-W is a
quality of engineering that no one ever
thought of lavishing on something so
small and unpretentious. KLH designed
unique miniature speakers that can move
more air (for really deep bass) than far
larger console speakers, plus complemen-
tary electronic circuitry that provides
exactly the proportion of power the
speakers need at different frequencies.

Pirates hit slump; Wrestling team hopes to hold record;
Gregory leads team injuries knock out several players
By SONNY LEA
Sports Editor
After winning their first
three games, the basketball
team has gone into a slump and
lost their last three games.
The Pirates, usually a
hot shooting team from the
floor as well as the free throw
line, have not been connecting
at the rate one could call hot.
Coach Tom Quinn's Pirates
have been plagued with
problems in their last three
games.
first it was the
cold shooting, and now
mething quite unexpected
has entered the picture. An
injury to playmaking guard
Tom Miller has hurt the picture
considerably and although he
played in the Pirates' 80-65
loss to Duke Monday night he
s not up to his usual
standards.
One bright spot in the
picture for the Bucs is the
rebounding. Against the larger
teams,the Pirates have battled
on the boards and usually
come up on top in the
rebounding race. Against Duke
Monday night, the Pirates were
outrebounded by one, 44-43
and Jim Gregory led all
rebounders with 15.
The junior forward from
Elberl W. Va. also led all
scorers in the Duke Indoor
Stadium with his 26 point
effort. He only had two at the
half, but came back strong 24
in the second half.
It was he, who led the Bucs'
comeback in the second half
after they were down by 32
points at one point midway the
second half. Gregory scored 16
of his 26 points in the final 10
minutes of the game as the
Pirates cut the final margin to
15.
Sophomore Jim Fairley has
continued to look good though
in the last three games. At
Duke, he fouled out in the
closing moments, but not
before he hid penetrated the
Blue Devils defense for 16
points and grabbed 1 1
rebounds.
For the year, Jim Modlin
still rjigns as the Pirates' lead-
ing scorer with a 20.7 average.
Gregory is second in the scor-
ing column with a 20 point
average with Miller behind him
with a 15.4 mark. Fairley is
averaging 14.5 points per con-
test.
In the rebounding picture,
Modlin is on top with an 11.2
mark while both Gregory and
Fairley both are averaging 11 a
game.

The Pirate wrestlers hope to
make their record 3-0 when
they take on Ohio Northern
University in Minges at 8 p.m.
tonight.
This could be one of the big
tests of the young season for
the 'Pirates. The Polar Bears
have ten lettermen returning
from a squad that finished
tenth in the N.A.I.A. last
season with a 13-3 record.
Coach John Wellborn is
unsure about his lineup but has
spent the week scouting the
Polar Bears in local
competition. Several key Pirate
wrestlers are out with injuries
which may mean a reshuffling
of the lineup.
Tom Eilenberger, Steve
Morgan, Robert Corbo, Stan
Bastian, Mike Spohn, John
Carroll, Sam McDowell and
Tom Marsh will be competing;
however, Tim Eilenberger, who
is out with a sprained ankle, is
a doubtful starter. He may be
replaced in the 126 pound class
by Ron Williams.
Cliff Bernard has suffered a
ruptured disc and may be out
for the season. Robert Vosburg
is also out with a broken rib. In
the heavyweight class, Robert
Jaronczyk has sustained a knee
injury and may be forced to sit
on the sidelines in favor of
Jerry Trachtenburg.
During the vacation, the
Pirates will compete in the
Wilkes Tournament in Wilkes
Barre, Penn. Dec. 29-30.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. (AP)
The U S. Army chief of staff
said Tuesday night that there is
n0 justification for killing
w0men and children in a war
one "unless they were armed
and served as combatants
Gen. William C.
Westmoreland made the
statement at a news conference
pn0, to a speech at a Charlotte
Chamber of Commerce
banquet.
In answer to a question
concerning the alleged killing
c
o
t civilians
at May Lai,
Westmoreland said
that a U. S. soldier "is not
required to carry out an
unlawful order, and
certainlyinstructions to shoot
an innocent civilian is an
unlawful order
He said that any order a
soldier received "will be used
as mitigation" in the trial on
charges growing out of the
shooting.
One officer, Lt. William
C a I I e y , is awaiting
court-martial proceedings on a
murder charge that arose from
allegations that U S.
servicemen killed civilians in
the incident.
Westmoreland said "an
investigation is still in process"
to determine if other men are
to be charged in connection
with the alleged incident.
Westmoreland said that he
first was informed of the
allegations last spring when a
number of high U. S. officials
received copies of a letter from
Robert L. Ridenhour, a
California college student.
Ridenhour wrote the letter
after his tour of service in
Vietnam and after learning of
the killings.
The information he
provided in the letter was
hearsay Westmoreland said,
adding that the allegations
were turned over to the
inspector general of the Army
who took "some time to round
up these men listed in the
complaint.
The former commander of
U. S. troops in Vietnam said
that he knew of no new
instructions that had been
issued to troops on the subject
of avoiding attacks on civilians.
He added that
"extraordinary steps" have
Rivers disclaims
whitewash attempt
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
Chairman L. Mendel Rivers
Friday denied he is trying to
whitewash the alleged My Lai
massacre and announced he is
turning the House Armed
Services Committee's
investigation over to a
four man subcommittee for
study "in depth
The South Carolina
Democrat repeated that "At
this point in our record there is
no evidence sufficient to
charge anyone with a
massacre
He was asked if the
subcommittee was created to
stop leaks of the investigation
to the press, and if he is trying
to whitewash the alleged
massacre of civilians by U.S.
soldiers at My Lai on March
16, 1968.
"I want to count 10 before I
answer this Rivers said to the
whitewash question. "I'm not
in that business.Thiscommittee
is not in that business.
"But neither am I in the
business he added, "of
backing these people who want
to get the military
Rivers said the reports he
has seen of the alleged
massacre have hurt the
military.
"If the military is guilty as
charged by some people who
hastened to the microphones
and hastened to the press as
soon as this surfaced he said,
"it will be injurious
Rivers also said he is not
prepared to concede there have
been any leaks from his four
days of hearings so far,
reminding newsmen he had
characterized whoever gave a
reporter an account of a
helicopter pilot's testimony
that did not square with
River's version "a damn liar
been taken to re-emphasize
instructions that were issued
previously.
Westmoreland said there was
absolutely "no evidence to
support" figures released by
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy,
D-Mass that some 300,000
Vietnamese civilians had been
killed in the war.
He compared the Tet
offensive in the spring of 1968
to the bombing of Pearl Harbor
by the Japanese in 1941.
Westmoreland said the
offensive "galvanized the
South Vietnamese and unified
the country" as it also lowered
the civilian morale in the U. S.
Westmoreland conceded that
"it's taken an awful lot of time
to develop the Vietnamese
force - particularly the
leadership" and he anticipates
a residual force in Vietnam for
some time to come.

The forum
t
Dear Editor:
In the Dec. 16 issue of
Fountainhead, Edward Brodie
of the Spirit Committee
commented upon his not
having been allowed to carry a
poster into the gymnasium to
support the basketball team.
While he and the rest of his
committee reflect upon his
personal insult, I would like to
reflect upon mine.
It was explained to him that
Black Power posters were being
avoided, and this, he
rationalized, was "to protect
the school's good name Being
black, I see no reason why a
poster which says "Black
Power" makes East Carolina
seem any more biased an
institution than do the
numerous Confederate flags
flown at any given football
game or in connection with
Homecoming activities. Has
anyone considered how the
enthusiasm these invoke from
the student body as a whole
may affect the "spirit" of
black athletes on the teams?
Moreover, Brodie "sees no
earthly reason why in order to
prevent hearing from one small
segment of the population, we
must stomp on everybody
else Well, since that segment
is a part of the American
population, that segment has
not only a right to speak and a
right to be heard but also the
right to exercise its rights
without being "stomped on"
by the foot of opposition and
oppression.
I want to thank Brodie for
expressing the narrowness of
mind and consideration that
chokes East Carolina.
Brenda E. Pugh
Dear Editor:
We can actually sympathize
with the way the "ordeal"
regarding the poster has
affected Mr. Brodie. We can
understand how a rule can
appear seemingly unjust-when
you are told that "you" can't
and someone else can-and
does. We can even agree with
Mr. Brodie that rudeness is not
always as effective a means for
enforcing the law-unjust or
not-as politeness.
However, because we are
Black, speak with a dialect
which identifies us as such,

carry Black Power sirns, we
assert that a law that is
enforced should be enforced to
the masses as well as to that
"small segment of the
population" which has
up to-now received the
stomping on.
We can understand how Mr.
Brodie would readily support
stopping Black Power, just as
we can see how he insists that
being neatly dressed, having
short hair and being shaved-in
addition to being
WHITE-would make you feel
that you are right-whether
you are breaking rules or
making unjust ones.
The comparison he made
between his "ordeal" and the
drive for Black Power was in
actuality unnecessary. Mr.
Brodie overexerts his nervous
system because for once

We recommend that he try
to gain a better understanding
of the How's and Why's of
Black Power before he
attempts to use it as a stepping
stone to making himself look
better. Black Power is not an
excuse for him or any of his
"segment it is part of a way
of life.
With little respect to Mr.
Brodie's ideals of fairness and
justice, with no respect to his

(continued from page 7)
neatness, short hair and
especially to his whiteness, we
off him some insight as to what
Black Power is all about.
Judging from his
comparison, he is an opponent
to the Black Power movement,
yet his support for the Pirates
makes his statement a
contradiction. His support for
the team is in essence a support
for the Black Power
exemplified each time one of
the Black members of the team
scores, rebounds or carries the
ball.
Next time Mr. Brodie should
make a concrete comparison
between something about
which he is sufficiently
learned.

Dear Editor.
Please count us among those
who support your present
editorial and news presentation
policies. The Fountainhead has
repeatedly asked for volunteers
from varied political and social
beliefs to serve as members of
the newspaper staff. If the
conservative viewpoint is not
adequately expressed in the
paper it can be concluded that
either conservative advocates
consider the written word too
tedious to bother with, or
there are very few
conservatives at ECU (The
second possibility seems rather
remote.)
It has been stated that the
staff of the Fountainhead has
attempted to "brainwash" the
The forum
students of this university
through its liberal journalism.
Hopefully, most individuals
who have gained admission to a
university or college have
learned to think for
themselves. Realizing that a
few have not, we can take
confort in the fact that local
leaders, the daily newspaper,
manv older citizens, and the
American hero, Spiro, continue
to vote their right-wing
opinions. Therefore it is
apparent that the student
newspaper does not have a
monopoly on public opinion.
AM students have the right
to control what is published in
the student newspaper, but
only if they are willing to
invest a little of their own time
and sweat into that
publication.

Dear Editor:
Overall I agreed with your
review of "Flea however,
I would like to suggest that
you were so enthusiastic about
Mr. Leedom that you
overlooked the very talented
performance of Ben Cherry.
Mr. Cherry had the very
difficult job of portraying two
completely different
characters. He was able to be
completely convincing as the
'doit and as Chandabis.
His changes in character and
his sense of comic timing made
hm one of the truly
outstanding talents in the play.
Again a good review, but I

suggest that in the future you
should not devote yourself so
much to only one character.

Dear John:
This morning Mr. Allen, who
is our ticket manager, handed
me your letter pertaining to a
girl being concerned about not
being able to get a ticket to our
South Carolina basketball
game.
A ruling was made by the
Athletic Committee to the
effect that students would be
able to pick up tickets until
Dec. 5 at 5 p.m. There was no
limit set and the students were
able to pick up tickets as long
as they came for them.
After the students picked up
their tickets, the general public
was permitted to purchase the
tickets remaining in the
coliseum.
The situation in the
coliseum is different from that
which exists in Ficklen
Stadium. We are very limited in
space in the coliseum; whereas,
there are 9,000 seats available
in Ficklen Stadium tor
students to use.
The second nice thing about
Ficklen Stadium is that a
student can buy a quest ticket
and be accommodated m the
student section because the
seats are not all taken. In th
coliseum we have not been able
to do this because of tn
limited seating capacity.
