Fire hazards revealed
in campus dormitories
Bv PHII IP Wll I IAMS units were nn fh earn ftrwsr or out In the confusion ol ;i lire these
By PHILIP WILLIAMS
(Stall W.ltpr)
Several disastrous fires have been in the news
in recent months, tires winch could have been
prevented b adequate fire precautions
One such fire in France killed over 50
persons who could nol gei oul o) the burning
building because a dooi was locked.
Another blaze in Arizona killed 2l in a resori
hotel, all of whom could have been saved had
there been a fire alarm system, according to the
local lire duet
With these tragedies in mind. Fountainhead
surveyed emergency preparedness on the l L)
campus and discovered some startling
shortcomings
1 I ire equipment is inadequate.
random inspection ol two men's
dormitories found thai of 16 extinguishei
receptacles, 12 were empty, two held empty
fire extinguishers, and two held apparently
read fire extinguishers I he two operative
units were on the same lloor
It must be pointed ouui that merely
checking tor fluid is not enough; sometimes the
extinguishers are used, then refilled with water
to escape detection This is not uncommon.
In one dormitory, hoses are the only
fire-fighting equipment It was discovered that
the hoses, approximately one and a half inches
in diameter, were not long enough to reach all
looms, and thai some were disconnected,
1 lie choice ol hoses is also questionable.
Hoses are provided m seveial ol the newer
concrete, high-rise dormitories, w h l c h are n ?!
likely to support any general conflagration; but
in the older women's dormitories, which are
much more likely to hum. only wall
extinguishers are provided
In the concrete dormitories, the most
common titCthaard would be electrical, with
trashcans, or in bedding. To extinguish this
kind of fire with hoses would require virtual
Hooding of the entire room Wall-type
extinguishers would be fai more efficient in
combating such tires
2 Locked doors could be hazardous
In the women's dormitories, certain doors
aic locked ai night and lequire a ke to get in
or out. In the confusion ol a fire, these arc
potentially hazardous.
3. No emergency lighting in dormitories.
Lack of emergency lighting during a fire
could severely slow the escape if residents and
create the even more dangero ,s situation ol
panic. If the fire did occur at night and caused
the electricity to go off. then residents would
have to evacuaie down darkened .tairs
4. Intercom systems are inadequate to cope
with emergency situations
In some dormitories, the intercom can be
used to address only one dooi t a time This
apparently would alleviate conge tion in ha
emergency situations, but in realnv can
only guarantee that some residents havi
better chance of escape than oth rs
In the event ol power failure, inter
would be out of order anyway Some
dormitories assume this in then fire drills; some
do not. Elevators would be inoperative if
electricity were off. causing many occupants to
descend 10 stories on foot.
The men's dormitories do not have any sort
of intercom; therefore the only method of
emergency w a r n i n gis by wrd of m o u t h.
TWO TYPES OF FIRE safety equipment are (above) an
electrical alarm, and (right) a fire extinguisher Both are
scarce in ECU dormitories

SCA Presidenl Bob Whitley told a crowd ol
ovei a thousand that the committee to
determine men's visitation hours has a 30-day
deadline
Whitley spoke al a Visitation Rally held by
the Men's Residence Council Thursday. Jan. 21.
The rally was called to protest the formation of
the committee by ECU President Leo Jenkins
and the alleged slowness with which it was
moving.
Whitley also announced that plans were set
for the conversion of Tyler into a women's
dormitory and Slav into a men's dormitory.
MRC Vice President Tim Bixon addressed the

The SGA's representative Gary Massey
presented both Student and Administration
grievances. He .expressed, the opinion that since
many student problems had been solved in the
past that he hoped this one would also.
The crowd was given a chance to express
their views and ask questions later. Asked about

Lautares replied. "This particular case
concerns 26 civil discontents of a radical-liberal
nature, but I would also object on the same
grounds if (he case involved militant

Tripp told Lautares that he could have
someone "draw up a bill" as a legal step
towards getting the money rescinded.
Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Rudolf

granting Sl?7 to the Central Ticket Office to
cover a "past due" insurance premium
Insurance rates covering all projection and
lighting equipment have been raised, according
to Alexander
"We had a difficult time even getting
coverage. All the insurance companies raised
their rates as a result of last year's noting on

collected by the cadets and members of Angel
flight stationed at important intersections
throughout the Greenville aiea and the brothers
ol Delia Sigma Phi in Farmville.
Last yeai's goal of 52,700 was exceeded by

university students, faculty, and stall, and the
other residents of Pitt County . This shows that
people do care about the crippling effect of
birth defects and they are determined to find a
solution.
The National Foundation of the March of
Dimes has been so impressed with the march's
continued success that the plans from ECU's
March-a-thon have been sent to every AFROTC
Detachment in the United States in hopes ot
creating a national project
Cadet 1st Lt Hugh Cameron, chairman of
the project, said that the groun of cadets and
Angels who "march so that others may walk"
hope that every person and organization on
campus will consider this campaign for the
March of Dimes worthy of their support.

A child is usually referred to the clinic by his
school, the welfare department, or the Public
Health Department. Occasionally the child is
referred to the clmic by his parents 1 he
children do not spend the night at the clinic.
fhej usually come to the clinic two or three
times They are seen by the various specialists,
and the parents are talked with about the child
Because the parents attend the clinic before
the child, they can prepare the child for what
to expect I he parents may be a little reluctant
at first, but they want help for the child so they
are cooperative. There is usually little difficulty
ceiline the children to cooperate.
DULL, NORMAL CHILD
One ipe of child the clime sees is the dull
normal child. This is a child who falls just
below normal 10 The hardest problem this
child will have to lace in society is school. His
teachers and parents think that he is simply not
trvme. nr is letarded when he fails to keep up
with the class If the parents are aware of the
problem they can let up on some of the
pressure This child can do many useful jobs in
society. however, he will not be able to go to
college-
Speech delay is an early signpost of
retardation This is not true in every case, but it
is usually an indication. Stuttering is usually an
indication of too much pressure or an inability
to cope with situations. If there is a speech
problem, the child may withdraw and never
talk Therefore, the child's teachers and parents
ma) never know the extent of his knowledge.

MRC visitation crisis
a two-sided picture
The present visitation crisis is tull
of ironies On one side. WC have a
student government trying to fulfill
its legal and moral obligations to its
i ristituents On the other side, w;
have a reluctant and heavy handed
administration trying to prevent the
e veil.ise ot those powers it has
already granted
It took a aroundswell to throw the
fa i nl hear'ed MRC from humble
prostration l Is feet. The MR(
askt d only foi t is already reality
ither state supported schools, the
administration prefers I onsider
1l .is a s parate. u . case,
requiring the utmost deliberation. We
suspect that the administration has
ulterior motives in such delays and
stalling as they now employ. The
administration's February 22 deadline
to the ad hoc committee for report,
also happens to he near the end
the quarter Exams and quarter break
would tend to minimize the success
of any attempt at united action by
the men on the Hill, should they be
unhappy with the committee's
decision. On paper, such a delay
looks like a victory for the
administration, and the administration
has always preferred paper realities.
fbis is a popular cause, with
moral, legal and social precedents
under virtually identical conditions.
Our elected bods has been threatened
with arrest should they try to
exercise their rights and
responsibilities. The MRC takes a
vote of the men on the Hill, but
sends with it a dire warning of the
consequences ol rash action, and
praises the benefits ot administration
i . peration
In the face of threats and
coercion, the MRC melts into a
slobbering blob of abject repentance.
Where is the man who can stand
up for the cause of justice and
rationality, and strip those same
banners from a facetious
administration
We need now a leader, one who
has the courage to stand up for a
popular cause yet one who has the
authority of high student office.
If we don't find him now. we'll
never need him again

To Fountamhead:
I was disturbed by the low attendance of the
student body at the SGA meetings. I think
students have grievances I am not a member of
the legislature but I am one of the five or so
regular attendersat their meetings. I have found
that a few interested or concerned students
have a greater influence on the legislature than
most of the student body who don't seem to
care enough to find out who their
representatives are.
Thank you.

Right to judge
To Fountainhead:
Concerning Dean Lichtmann's "eyesore
what right has James Lowry to judge art When
the opinion of one administrator is able to
remove a student work from that student's own
campus then there is something terribly wrong.
When a work of art is removed from the mall
and purple and gold garbage cans remain, it is
doubtful as to the cultural background of the
judge. If no public apology is offered and the
sculptor is not allowed to display the piece
(although he probably won't, which would be a
disadvantage to the student public, but then
who gives a damn about students anymore?)
then It should be replaced by the critic. I
watched Dean create this piece and now I have
seen his reward
This incident, along with a few other
administrative moves, has produced one distinct
odor of prejudice by the administrators, and
another odor of student unrest. Wake up, you
mothers, and sec what's cooking!
David Moore
Vote of confidence
1 i 11 iuntainhead
I would like in bring it to the students'
attention that a bill calling foi a vote of
confidence from the student body was killed in
committee by the SGA Monday. The bill called
for a vote of confidence oi no confidence in a
referendum election If the students had voted
"no confidence a recall election was to be
held The reason for killing the bill was that it is
unconstitutional, that the constitution does not
provide for a "vote of confidence and
furthermore, this same constitution does not, in
reality, provide a format for a recall election.
Also. I was (old tha( if I. as a legislator, held
a voie of confidence for myself and "no
confidence" was cast, that I could not be
recalled And if I recalled myself and lost that
election the person who did get voted in my
place would not get seated in the legislature. I
was alsu told that I would not be unseated.
Because this too is unconstitutional. 1 presume.
In othei words, we m the SGA have it knocked.
Whether the students like us or not, or whether
they feel that we do not represent them, we
can't be removed.
I can say one thing for the legislature, it
knows how to use the constitution to suit its
purposes as it sees fit So does the review board.
I hey can interpret it in any way they like.
I can't wait (ill the day we have
representative government on this campus, have
legislators and officers that care what the
student body thinks, and a constitution that is
written for the benefit of the students.
Lastly, I would like to leave the students
with a thought 1 was told by the speaker of the
Legislature that I am not representing my
king for their vote of
confidence! What I think he meant was that 1
was rocking the boat I am supposed to be in
the Legislature for one reason only to promote
myself.
Dave Edwards
SGA Legislator
Quaint debate
To Fountainhead:
Once upon a midnight dreary while I
pondered weak and weary over mana quaint
and curious debate in the SGA, it was brought
to my attention that the speaker ot the atore
mentioned institution said that in the event ol a
recall election of the SGA. he knew that he
would be re-elected, because he has been
elected three times before from the same dorm
This statement was easily made at the time
because the bill had just received an
unfavorable report in a joint committee
meeting of the rules and the student affairs
committee. To put it bluntly, the bill was
choked with abject cruelty.
While I nodded, nearly napping suddenly
there came a tapping, gently rapping. Mr.
Tripp is in a position where the gentle rapping
i his gavel may very well create a vacuum in
his support and make his situation very notable.
If Mr. Tripp does not pay more attention to his
constituents as he sits upon his jocund, gilded
cloud as speaker, he may find that his cloud has
been dissipated by the voice of the public
which is far more powerful than a locomotive
and faster than a speeding bullet.
As a conservative. I am usually not inclined
to insurrection, but if I were a member of Mr
Tripp's constituency, 1 would circulate a
petition and demand his recall if for no other
reason because of his overbearing confidence in
himself. When a legislator feels (hat he has the
complete confidence of his electorate whatever
he does, then he is too confident and does not
listen to his constituents when they speak.
So Mr. Tripp. before you make your famous
quote. I want you to remember I his the
speaker's position is definitely a powerful one
but even Superman had his weakness. It lakes
much less to dethrone a raven especially If all
you can say is "nevermore "
Robert J. Barrow
Intercom complaint
To Fountainhead.
Greene Dorm seems to be troubled by a
communications gap, one that may be possible
to bridge with a little consideration from the
higher-ups. I refer to our intercom system: or.
more specifically, to our lack of it. Walk into
Greene Dorm any day of the week, and you
will more often than not see a sign that says,
"The PA. is out of order This is a downright
aggravation to the women who live there, the
men who come calling for them, and the house
counselors and hostesses whose very jobs
revolve around the use of the intercom. There,
that takes care everybody on campus but the
administration.
In a ten-story building, an intercom is not
only a convenience, it is a necessity. Suppose
the intercom were on lh blink and a fire broke
out on the fourth floor. There would be no safe
and efficient way to let all 400 girls know
about it in time to get everybody out. A
tragedy like this, caused by negligence, we
surely can't risk.
A more minor complaint that might be made
is one that pertains to money. We are paying
$90 apiece every quarter for dormitory room
rent, plus extra for dormitory fees. I presume
that this includes rent on the intercom system
and the television set in the lobby. The
television is doing just great, but our intercom
is sic. Rather than spending all this money
sending repairmen to the dorm every few days
to spray the silly thing with silicone, what do
you say we bury it decenlly and try a more
reliable company?
I understand that the warranty for the one
we've got is being checked out, and I'm trying
to remember just how long a guarantee lasts for
any electronics equipment.
At any rate, we are tired of the promises and
the pats on the head. We would like a
dependable intercom system, please. So would
White, and New ( and all the rest of the dorms
whose intercoms are getting silicosis. Laugh and
likewise. "Enough
Sincerely,
Sue Bowermaster
Political suicide
To Fountainhead:
Amidst the trivia and rumbling ol the
Student Legislature involving such issues as
buying a buffalo for a western university's
mascot, an enlightened and educated voice can
seldom be heard. One of these voices is that ol
David Edwards. In an unprecedented move, he
voluntarily put himself up tor a vote of
confidence and possible recall As a firm
supporter and believer in his ethics and desire
to give representation back to the students. I
am also putting myself up foi the same vote ol
confidence and possible recall.
Many of our fellow legislators will call this
"political suicide They would rather work as
a closed body of about 50 students rather than
as a united force of 10,000 equally represented
students They have redefined fine print to
make it practically impossible for themselves to
be recalled. A bill to ask for a vole of
confidence by the students has been stalled in
committee. Although these acts are politically
constitutional, every legislator knows that they
are morally unconstitutional. This is evident in
the squirming and insignificant rationalizing
done when this bill has been in debate.
Our supposedly "far-sighted" legislators have
been very short-sighted in handling this
problem If they had gone along with the
petition in the beginning, the students would
not have completely lost confidence in them
Instead, by their stalling they showed that they
don't even have confidence in their ability to be
re-elected.
On the other hand, it musi he admitted thai
the legislature has introduced some good bills
Among them is the bill dealing with a lawyer
for the school. It remains to be seen whether
they will uphold the unwritten law of ethics
and truly represent the students by voluntarily
holding a vote of confidence.
