Bed as guilty
V criticizing
Cartoonist found guilty; no penalty
By GARRY GIBSON
(Staff Writer)
The third ot a series of trials stemming from
the use of the phrase "fuck You. Leo" in the
student newspaper, Fountainhead. brought
another verdict of "guilty" today.
The University Board tried Kenneth Finch
on charges of preparing a cartoon lor
Fountainhead that "suscribed to . . certain
abusive, vulgar obscene language, to wit 'Fuck
You. Leo
The Indictment also stated that the words
were "abusive to the faculty, administration,
and students of ECU The cartoon was also
deemed to be "totally without any redeeming
social value
APPLAUSE FOR FINCH
When Finch entered the room he was greeted
by applause from the spectators. Rick
Atkinson, SGA public defender, opened the
hearing by asking for mistrial on the charge that
one of the witness's. Dr. Leo Jenkins, had not
appeared. Dr Charles Price, chairman of the
Board, denied the request.
Atkinson said in his opening statement "Ken
Finch is the victim of an unfortunate
misinterpretation and misunderstanding
Henry Gorhain, prosecuting attorney, called
Cindy Byers. present secretary of the
Publications Board, as his only witness. Gorhain
tried to bring out the point that Byers had, in
the past, referred to "damn" as obscene. Earlier
the defense had made the remark that the
Publications Board had not found the
statement "Fuck You Leo" to be obscene. The
objection of the defense was sustained.
TUCKER QUESTIONED
The defense next called James Tucker, dean
of Student Affairs, who signed the statement
against Finch When asked how he knew the
University community found the cartoon
obscene and abusive Tucker stated that he had
many calls from the students, faculty and
administration that expressed these feelings.
Atkinson then brought to the attention of
the Board the letter by Ken Hammond that had
appeared in an earlier edition of Fountainhead
and the Bob Thonen editorial that also
appeared in that edition.
Atkinson pointed out that these two articles
had included the phrase in question but in a
manner of restatement of the phrase involved in
the Thonen and Schell cases, Atkinson further
contended that Finch had only restated against
these two students. Price said that it was the
decision of the Board as to the ruling on those
charges.
The defense then called Steve Neal, chairman
of the Publications Board. After some
confusion as to whether he was speaking
personally or as the voice of the Pub Board.
(Neal was found to be speaking on a personal
basis) he was questioned about the Finch
cartoon
He said that the cartoon was considered an
editorial and therefore it was protected on the
Board ruling concerning
new Publications
obscenity.
EDITORIALS AND CARTOONS
Bev Denny, new editor ?in-chief, was called
She pointed out that the editorials were usually
in conjunction with the cartoons When
questioned. Denny related that the phrase in
question was merely included in the editorial
cartoon, not directly said by Finch.
Finch was called as the final defense witness
Finch said the cartoon "was the only way that I
knew to gci my opinion across He continued
"I meant u m no way to be vindictive to
Jenkins
Finch informed the Board and the room
filled to capacity with spectators who were
predominate!) in sympathy with him. that the
message of Ins cartoon was that "Jenkins
overreacted to impulsive criticism and it was
not becoming to his office
GORHAM AND FINCH
Gorhain crossexamined Finch and asked him
if he had not thought before submitting the
cartoon that it would offend people. Finch
replied that he figured that some people might
be offended but he went on and said that
"anything that I printed would offend
someone
The defense then made its closing statement.
Atkinson read a Supreme Court decision ruling
that said an article, to be obscene, must appeal
to the prurient interest. Atkinson then defined

Offended by a photograph of two males
embracing. Senator Julian Allsbrook of Halifax
County has introduced a bill into the state
legislature which would allow students to
decide whether or not their lees would be used
to finance a campus newspaper.
Allsbiook's action was prompted by an
article and photograph which appeared April 23
in The Daily Tar Heel, the campus publication
of the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill The "offensive" photo was a view of two
males lacing each other with their hands
locked Allsbrook deemed the photo as an
"offense lo decency
The published photo accompanied an article
by Harry Smith entitled, "Homosexuality . . .
has its problems Smith's article is a plea by
homosexuals of the Chapel Hill area to be
accepted as people. The material is drawn from
interviews with eleven homosexuals, two law
officers, and the manager of a newly-opened
local gay bar.
Smith states his purpose as attempting to
reveal a portion of life that many persons fail to
realize exists, or refuse to believe exists. He also
seeks to reveal the problems faced daily by
homosexuals and offers their views on their
life-style and the various situations they face.
Senator Allsbrook's bill basically states that
students would be able to decline the use of
their fees lor a campus newspaper If passed,
ihe measure would probably force many of the
state's campus publications to attempt to
survive on the basis of advertising and
subscriptions.
Several college newspapers across the US.
have taken this route. Some have died, some
have survived.
Ira L. Baker, head of the ECU journalism
department and Foundaintain advisor, feels
that the placement of the ECU paper on a
subscription basis couid be advaniagous It is
his belief that a paper "cannot be editorially
independent unlil it is financially
independent How over, when asked if
Fountainhead could survve if such a move were
to take place, he stated. "I believe the

Pub Board passes obscenity bill
By CONNIE BOGER
(Stiff Writer)
Limitation of obscenity in campus
publications was enacted by Ihe Publications
Board in its Tuesday meeting.
Lawson Brown, chairman of Rules
Committee, proposed that publications avoid
the use of certain obscene words.
Difficulty arose in finding a workable
definition of "obscenity In response to
Brown's lemark that such words as "hell" and
"damn" do not offend him. the question was
put on the floor as to where to draw the line as
to offensiveness of certain words. Robert
McDowell, summer school editor of the
Fountainhead, suggested adherancc to the latest
Supreme Court definition of obscenity.
In pro discussion of the motion. Tommy
Clay, vice chairman of the Publications Board,
said the control of obscenity would be a
protective measure. He stated that the
Publications Board, in order to protect a staff
member, would rather censor him than have
him suspended from school as in Bob Thonen's
case.
Clay said, "If we don't use the scalpel here.
Dr. Jenkins will use the ax and that's a lot
more bloody
Gary McCullough. co-editor of the
Buccaneer, remarked that he could probably
use other words to attain the same effect as
certain four-letter words. However, there may
be a time, he said where "that may be (he very
word I need to use
Bev Denny, now editor-in-chief of the
Fountainhead, said opposes censorship. Seh
questioned the term "news articles" as stated in
Brown's proposal since editorials are. in her
words, "interpretive reporting
The motion was reworded to read: "Be it
enacted that all ECU student publications
refrain from using four-letter words (e.g
"fuck" and "shit") in all articles except in
specific news articles reporting where the word
is used in a quote The motion passed with a
4-1 vote.
The Publications Board elected Gafy
McCullough as editor-in-chief of the 1971-72
Buccaneer.
Woody Thurman, Rebel editor, expressed a
need for $500 more in the Rebel budget. He
said the extra expense was due to the increased
number of pages and copies published.
Thurman felt that a need for more copies
because many people have complained about
not receiving one. He added that copies are also
to be sent to various literary reviewers.
Since the additional money was not
appropriated by the SGA Legislature, it was
agreed that the Buccaneer would lend it to the
Rebel with the stipulation that it be repaid by
registration day of fall quarter.
Thurman said the current Rebel is 72 pages
long and will be "undoubtedly the best college
literary magame that has ever been published
in the United States "
It was moved by Tommy Clay that during
freshman orientation this summer, the
Publications Board sponsor a reception. This
would inform newcomers to ECU about
working on a campus publication. The motion
carried and the publications board agreed to
endorse the $100 needed lor refreshments.
In the May 11 meeting of the board it was
passed to stop National Graphics from using
Fountainhead IBM equipment. Clay announced
that many supplies are given to the
Fountainhead along with the availability of
National Graphic's printing, layout and
verityper maehins A motion passed that
National Graphics be able to continue their use
of Fountainhead IBM machines.
Steve Neal announced a reorganization of
committees of the Publications Board They
are: Rules Committee Lawson Brown,
chairman; Betsy Jeannette. vice chairman, and
Jim Hicks. Cindy Byeri is to be chairman of the
budget committee with David House, vice
chairman and Tomim Clay. Miss Jeannette will
serve as recording secretary for the board in
September after which she will serve in an
advisory capacity tc lnna Butrick.
The PublicatH ns Board adjourned and will
meet for the last tune this year on Mondav.

Atkinson continued "Dean Tuckei insists
that this cartoon is obscene to Dr Jenkins
Ruefully, we can only add, with all due respee!
that if Dr. Jenkins is sexually aioused by this
scene, then the problem runs far deeper than
any of us suspected
Atkinson then pointed out that if the winds
"Fuck You Leo" are obscene and abusive then
the Student Supply Store should also have
charges brought against it lor selling books that
include these words.
Finally he again pointed out that Finch had
not meant the cartoon as an attack on Jenkins
In attorney general Gorham's brief dosing
statement he pointed out that if "we print

Rebel gets money
SGA Constitution invalid
By CATHY JOHNSON
(Staff Writer)
An appropriation for the transfer from the
Buccaneer to the Rebel of funds passed in a
special session of the SGA Legislature
Wendesday afternoon after failing in the regular
Monday meeting
With this transfer, money was also
appropriated for the publication of the key
after negative debate at the previous meeting
The legislature also cut the Publications
Board budget for the 1971-1972 year from
$138,000 to $120,000 with the understanding
that if necessary the Board could ask foi
additional funds later in the year
This cut may necccssitate the limiting of the
Rebel from three to one or two editions and
the Fountainhead from 60 to 40 issues next
year unless more funds are made available.
according to Steve Neal. chairman of the
Publications Board
Other appropriations were passed for the
remainder of spring quarter and for summer
school
LAMDUREAU SPEAKS
Wesley Lamoureux, who recently failed in
his bid for a seal on the Publications Board,
asked to speak to the legislature concerning the
Fountainhead
In his address. Lamoureux disavowed the
fact that he newspaper represented the entire
sti'dent body He added that he felt profanity
was unnecessary in the paper and continued
that it degenerated the value of an ECU degree
Roger Tnpp. speaker of the legislature, made
his farewell speech at the Monday meeting,
urging the legislature to continue its work in
the future saying its potential as a governing
body was impressive
PAPER AND PUB BOARD
He also commented on the present situation
of the newspaper and the Publications Board
The recent controversy over the
newspaper's policy ot printing tour-letter words
has given rise to some interesting observations
"Since there are only two weeks left in the
quarter I am ot ihe opinion that the
administration should lust ignore it. for the
people who gel a kick out Rich second-rate
journalism thrive on gelling people uptight, just
asoui administration has gotten "
"I strongly believe thai the Pub Board could
have asserted some ol this trouble had n
asserted its authorit)
"II the Pub Board continues to act in such a
passive manner. I think it will be misusing ihe
powei delegated to it by ihis body, and that
this body will be right in assuming us
responsibility over the publications
"And. if it comes down to ceusorslni
then I'd rather have the students in the form ol

Newspaper editors7 election is valid
By CLAUDIA OLDER
(Staff Writer)
The University Review Board ruled that the
meeting of the Publications Board in which the
summer and fall editors of the Fountainhead
were chosen was valid It also ruled that the
new SGA Constitution is invalid.
Tommy Clay, a member of the Publications
Board, came before the Review Board
Wednesday night to ask a ruling on what time a
bill becomes effective after being passed by the
general body of the SGA legislature. The bill in
question is 17-3, which makes Dean osf Student
Affairs Tucker and Thornton. SGA financial
advisor, non-voting members of the
Publications Board. Before the bill, they had
been voting memhers.
The bill in question was passed on a Monday
night and the meeting of the Publications Board
1
was held the next night Steve Neal, chairman
of the Publications Board, said that he was
going to dismiss the meeting because of a lack
of quorum since only three of the students on
the Board were present. He was informed by
Tucker thai the bill taking his and Thornton's
vote away was not in effect until the president
of the SGA had signed it Neal then carried on
with the business of the meeting.
Upon investigating the question as to the
validity of the bill at the meeting, Neal and
Clay found that there was not any definite
statement saying when the bills passed by the
Legislature were in effect.
After Neal and Clay had presented affadavits
?om previous members of the SGA stating that
a precident had been established that a bill
becomes law as soon as it Is passed, they also
showed thai there was no definite statement in
the constitution to clarify the matter.
Henry Gorham, SGA attorney general,
accused the Neal and Clay of bringing the
matter before the Board for an entirely
different reason "You could I avc brought it up
earlier. Is there any specific reason for this
lequest like the recent suspension of editor of
Fountainhead asked Gorham. "The real issue
is whether Cathy Johnson will be editor fall
quarter
Clay responded with the fact that if the
election was his only concern he could bring up
a motion at a Board meeting to reconsider the
election. It was a matter of determining
whether or not the meeting was valid so that if
it were not. the proper steps could be taken
Review Board chairman Craig Souza
mentioned that he had not even heard of the
case until the meeting. Clay stated that he had
turned in a rough statement of the case to Dean
of Men Mallory
At this time Gorham said, "I thought you
had realized the absurdity of it and had
dropped it " Clay assured Gorham that'hc was
completely senous about the matter.
After a closed deliberation, the Review
Board decided that no bill was valid until it was
signed by the president of the SGA or until
seven days have passed without the president
using his veto power
In other business, the Review Board
determined that the new constitution passed by
the SGA was not valid. The reasons for their
decision were that the students had had no
voice in whether ot not they wanted the new
constitution, the SGA had provided no petition
ror referendum for the saidetm to indicate
whether or not they wanted to have a new
constitution, and the president of the
University had not signed it.
I)i W (' Sanderson, a Board member,
observed thai "if a constitution can be
amended so that it is new. each legislature
could so change it
Tucker said that Di David Stevens, a
business school faculty member and an expert
in Constitutional law. has been PHg over the
constitution and has already found many parts
that will have to be rewritten heeause they
conflict with law
After deliberating, the Board ruled that the
old constitution would remain in effect until
"Article Five and other necessary provisions as
outlined by the present constitution are
fulfilled "

Ot the two kinds of research that professors
are involved in, the office is concerned entirely
with sponsored research, said Whitel
"All professors aic expected to do individual
classroom research, it's a pan ol academic life
This office is concerned onlj wuh contracted

"We assist the professoi in developing Ins

II the pioposal is funded, the Office of

rhough some oi the gints received come

"Of course there is alwas trouble in getting

While, "although we sometimes get what we

Office and the supporting agency before a final

All researchers at ECU are also full-time
teachers, said White The professors involved
usually spend between five and 15 per cent oi
their time in doing research,
"Ol course, those involved during the
summer work lull time said White Programs
such as ih Summei Institute in science
education, which is directed by Dr. Robert L.
Dough, require full time attention.
Summei Institute is developed for the
purpose ol keeping teachers up-to-date in their

techniques According to White, approximately
three ot foui summei institutes are maintained
each summei on HI 's campus.
Ihese institutes are .ill funded through the

Ticket prices raised,
new funding initiated
By JENNY JONES
(Sta" Wi ti?? i
A new funding policy, increased ticket
prices, and "entertainment so good students
will go out of their heads are changes that will
result from a revamping ot the Popular
Entertainment Committee, according to Gars
Massie. committee chairman
The new committee will he given, b the
SGA, an operating budget of $50,000 This
money will remain in the account ot the
Popular Entertainment (. ommittee
In past years the committee worked with a
budget of as much as $85,000 per year, bui
returned all ticket income to the SGA at the
end of the year. For instance, if the income
received from ticket sales amounted to
$55,000. then the SGA would actually have
spent only $.10,000 for the entertainment that
year
In an effort to eliminate a loss and at the
same time increase the quality of concerts, the
Popular Entertainment Committee rules were
revamped
, Now. from income from ticket sales the
committee will be responsible for keeping up to
$50,000 in its budget If, at the end of the year.
the budget has dropped below this figure, the
SGA will appropriate enough funds to bring it
back up to $50,000 with the maximum of
added funds being a ceiling of SJ5.000.
Because ol the rising costs of booking big
name groups, a method had to be devised by
which the artists could be guaranteed highei
salanes. said Massie.
By basing contract agreements on either a
percentage oi money taken in at the door or on
a minimum guarantee (whichever is higher),
groups will be more willing to come to ECU, he
continued. The $50,000 would be used to back
the minimum guarantee Paying a performer bv
a gate percentage means that ticket prices will
go up enough to meet the artist's demands.
To a student, this means paying $4 ot S5 foi
a ticket to hear Chicago rather than S.1 Massie
added that $5 would be the maximum ticket
charge for an event, as set up in the
regulations governing committee operation
Ticket sales next yeai will not have
customary quotas. These quotas oi 5.000
students tickets. 1.000 public tickets, and 500
faculty and staff tickets will now be
disregarded, according to Massie They had
been upheld the first week oi ticket sales this
y?5r. but dropped one week before the event
"The quotas never really applied since ticket
sales in the first week were always below the
quota limits Massie explained
"However, they were a hindrance in getting
groups. No performers want to sign a contract
in which they have to live up to that kind of
restriction he said. "They want you to sell as
main tickets as you can to whoevei you can.
The more tickets . . sell, the larger their
percentage
With tickets being sold on a "first come, first
served basis students might be concerned
about being able to gel tickets to shows put on
by then SGA, he added.
"As fai as advertising goes, we're going to
i take sine students know of an upcoming
event Massie said. "There will be no
advertising to the public before advertising
tothe student body We're not trying to rip
an bod off "
The changes - ade in the Popular
Entertainment Committee resulted from the
increasing cost nl quality entertainment,
according to Massie "With these changes, we
hope now to be able to book some really good
groups
"This was our nly solution to the problem
ol high price enteitainment he continued.
"It's the only thing that could be done if the
students want big name groups on campus . . .
Of course, they might not. it's up to them
The Populat Entertainment Committee
consists of six st tdents chosen by a screening
committee made up ot SGA president, vice

Atkinson found not guilty
The Men's Honor Council rendered a verdict
of "not guilty" Thursday concerning contempt
of court charges brought against Kick Atkinson
during his defense in the trial ol former
Fountamhcad editor Bob Thonen
Brian VanDercook. Atkinson's attorney,
entered a not guilty plea for the defendent
stating that his clieni had no intention to
disrupt or be desrespectful to the University
Board.
The prosecution presented the transcript of
the Thonen Trial as evidence and brought Tony
Harris. University Board member, to the stand
Harris slated thai he did feel that the
defendem's actions during the Thonen trial had
been abusive and disruptive
"His delivery was very emotional said
Harris, "and the whole walk-out was obviously
preplanned anyway
Harris felt that the "character indignities"
directed towards the faculty and the invitation
by Atkinson for all present to walk out on the
court were contemptuous and disrespectful
Taking the stand. Atkinson said tha he had
no intent whatsoevery to offend, ridicule, or
disrupt the Board.
"It was simply a mutter ol difference
between my personal cwnsarm and the
established Board he said "I had to choose
my conscious
Atkinson said tha his words to the court
were simply a personal expression under his
right of freedom of speech
"I was surprised to be found In contempt of
court he said, "but I have no regrets about
my actions
The prosecution questioned Atkinson
concerning the disruption of the courtroom
when students enteied with a coffin
symbolizing "the death of judicial fairness
"I had no idea said Atkinson, "that the
coffin would be brought into the courtroom.
We had planned for it to be displayed on the
mall
Atkinson continued that he and Thonen had
been in total harmony concerning the idea of
the walkout. "I felt that we had to show up
and explain our reasons for leaving he said
"I did not think that ?m was any
disruption Atkinson added, "and in fact I
thought it was all done quite passively "
In his closing remarks. VanDercook said iba
his client had no intention of disrupting the
Board or being contemptuous The words
directed towards Dean of Men Mallory and
Dean of Student Affairs Tucker had no bearing
because these men were not on the University
Board, he added
He continued that it had always been the
right of the detendent's lawyer to make any
comments that he felt were needed in the
interest of his client, as Atkinson had done
"This has been another in a long line of
over-reaction VanDercook said. "Public
defenders are overworked and
underappreciated he said, "and my client
respectively did what he thought was in the
best interest of his client

Trash' portrays individual humanity
Tax meeting set
By JOHN WALLACE
(Review Editor)
Andy Warhol presents "Trash " His name
and that title are enough in themselves to
provoke interest. The interest is justified.
Warhol and his director Paul Morrissey take the
scraps of people's lives and like medieval
alchemists turn them into pure gold.
"Trash" is a movie of personality . limitation
and desperation. From the opening scene of Joe
Dallesandro's indifference to sexual activity
until the last words uttered by Holly
Woodlawn, the movie abounds with individuals
whose personalities are tremendously diverse.
"Trash" takes place in Greenwich Village and in
the largei world of poverty and economic-
oppression where the individual is oftentimes
lost. "Trash" does not consider whether or not
the environment has made the individuals
themselves, or whether they form their
environment. "Trash" shows them as intenseh
unique, and yet intensely human.
They are limited by their own desires,
background and ability. They live in little
cluttered rooms that, like their minds, are
periodically cleaned, bi t are never cleansed.
Joe's addiction to heroin determines his life. He
has no money, nor does he have any desire to
earn any. He takes what he can. but is limited
by the parasitic existence he lives.
In "Trash" no one gets what he wants
Everyone reaches out helplessly for someone or
something, but these someones and somethings
do not give anything but a momentary
satisfaction The people want and want, not
riches, not fame, or success, but a little balance,
and a little stability in their lives. They want a
release from the struggle of existence. They tire
of the horrible small amount of feeline that
people express to one another.
if ??? MMMM
RUEY'S
Holly desperately wants Joe. and in what
must be one of the most touching moments of
the entire film, during her act o( sexual
gratification she reaches out for his hand and he
encloses hers with his. She wants more from
him, but he either cannot or will not give it.
The people give their bodies easily, but their
ability to feel for others remains locked up
within themselves.
The veiled sex in so many movies, and the
profanity stand out in such a way that they are
glaringly emphasized In Trash" these
elements merge with the entire picture of life
the movie portrays. Despite the amount of flesh
and sexual activity, one can hardly call the
treatment of these elements prurient. The
sexual activity only emphasizes its frustrations
and hopelessness in ever offering any lasting
solution to the problems of people's lives. Its
excess shows its weakness.
Holly and Joe have a love affair but one in
which there is no concept of love in any
conventional sense. There is only frustration
and hope. The only balance they achieve in
their lives is from moment to moment. "Trash"
shows people who have committments to
themselves and yet hardly any to other people.
"Trash" cuts through the veneer of social
interplay and deals with the rawest emotions.
The world of Holly and Joe is a raw world.
People give or sell their bodies at the current
rate, or for whatever they will buy. "Trash" is
not an easy movie to like.
The technical aspects at first appear to be
amateurish. The film is oftentimes unfocused.
The transition from one scene to another is
often abrupt. The voices sometimes sound far
away. Yet through the entire movie of Joe's
wanderings there is an evenness, an organic
unity that is never violated. Few details escape
the camera's eye if it is only the peace button
on the social welfare worker's lapel or the
gigantic plant in Jane Furth's apartment.
In scene after scene one sees the disaster of
what people do to each other Joe shows the
even more detestable tragedy of what people do
to themselves. The scenes of his shooting up,
which are painful to watch, again emphasize the
physical gratification and the spiritual
emptiness of so many of the character' lives.
"Trash" shows the chaos of lives that seek
after an order they never shall attain. It has an
honesty and directness that makes "Midnight
Cowboy" seem remote and superficial
Warhol, in presenting "Trash has shown the
waste which people create without thinking.
the waste on which they live, and the waste on
which they think they can nourish other souls
In a time when art hesitates to make any
statements or draw any conclusions. "Trash"
makes awfully strong ones about human
insensitivity and results of being in a world
where everyone, whether he wants to be or not.
is very much alone

Obscenity standard is set
The issue of obscenity in campus
publications picked up greater
momentum this week with the passage
oi .m obscenity hill by the Publications
B o ,i r d and i he co n iction of
Fountainhead cartoonist Ken Finch lor
"abusive language" hy the University
Board
I he Publications Board hill declared
that all ECU publications must "refrain
from using four-letter words in all
articles except in specific news articles
reporting where the word is used in a
quote In discussing the bill. Board
members said that they did not nnnd an
occasional "hell" or "damn" hut four
letter words used outside a quote when
not reporting the news would not be
tolerated
If obscene lour letter words are used,
the editor in question will appear before
the Board and appropriate action will he
taken In the past, the use oi four-letter
words has been left to the descretion oi
the editor.
The action oi the Publications Board
is indeed a form of censorship to which
we are strongly opposed The matter ot
good or poor taste should definitely he
left up to the editor and set forth in his
editorial policy
Yet the Publications Board is the
publisher of all campus publications who
indeed recognize the Board's position
and are willing to abide hy its decisions
In explaining the rationale of the
obscenity hill, the Board assumed a
protective function. B imposing a form
oi censorship at this point, the Board is
protecting the publications from a more
severe act oi censorship h. perhaps, the
hoard of Trustees.
At least a standard has been set
Prosecutors will no longer have to
fumble in the key to find a rule that is
appropriate to charge a journalist for
has mg violated
The actions oi the University Board
on the two recent instances ot alleged
obscenity have been most inconsistent.
Bill Sch el I. the originator oi the
"abusive" phrase in his letter to the
editor, was not suspended from school
Vet the editor-in-chief was suspended. In
the second case charges were completely
dropped against the new editor-in-chief
and the cartoonist was found guilty oi
"abusive" language hut received no
sentence.
The enactment oi the obscenity bill
will perhaps aid the University Board in
making decisions on any future
questions of collegiate press freedoms, if
indeed any other questions arise.
Silly season sets scene
Robert Hemlein once labeled the
advent oi spring and the drastic changes
in human behavior that annually
accompany the return of warm weather,
the "silly season " Fach year at this time
animal spirits rise and intellects recede
Among the human animals sundry folk
report a plague o( UFO's. someone
straps on the Icarian wings and lumps off
a rock, legislatures convene to impose a
method on madness (or is it a madness
on methodI. college students head for
the beaches and the hushes, and college
administrations and trustees suddenly
discover the decline in morals and
ambitions amo:ig their charges that was
there all along.
Ancient societies provided an outlet
for this annual overflow oi emotions in
the form oi frenzied festivals devoted to
the gods of pleasure Modern society, on
the other hand seems to have
economized these sentiments by
incorporating them into forms of
bureaucratic procedure dedicated to the
gods of progress, thereby extending the
influence of the silly season throughout
the entire year
The ECU community is no exception;
Some massive administrative intellect
almost mortally pruned the hedges that
once beautified the campus' Fifth Street
border in order to save coeds from the
possibilities of rapists lurking behind the
hushes, when skittish pedestrian traffic
couffl have been easily rechanneled along
a well-lighted walkway a few yards away
by the girls' dormitories.
-Some trustees expressed amazement
that students do not want to live in
dormitories built like barracks or study
in classroom buildings constructed to
withstand the rigors of a feudal seige.
-The Student Supply Store still wraps
Kotex and Tampax purchases in brown
papei -and then labels them.
This year's traditional silly season.
however, has been dominated by more
ominous forces: the powers that
ordained successive trials for
Fountainhead editors and staff members
on charges of "abusive language toward
the president of the Universitya
charge which was lucidly interpreted to
mean "the use of obscenity which is
obscenity because it is obscenity " With
all the intellectual implications that such
a statement introduces into emotional
celebn tion of spring, one almost wishes
they would go back to jumping off
rocks.

Doctor's Bag
QUESTION My appendix sometimes hurts
several hours at a time. It is not an unbearable
pain, so 1 have never asked a doctor about it;
but it seems to be happening more frequently
in the past few months and I wonder what it
means Should I see a doctor0
ANSWER I am impressed with your
conviction that it is your appendix that hurts. I
don't want to shock you or anything, but there
is quite a bit of stuff rattling around in your
abdominal cavity aside from your appendix
There are about 25 feet of intestines, a
stomach a liver, spleen, pancreas, bladder,
miscellaneous other things, plus ovaries and a
uterus it vou are a woman The appendix is a
three to tour inch skinny remnant of the large
intestine serving no discenable purpose in man.
It is susceptible to becoming infected because it
is tube with a closed end.
An infected appendix can produce a large
varieiv it svmptoms. though characteristically
the pain begins around the umbilicus and
migrates down toward the lower right hand part
of the abdomen.
While the likelihood is you are suffering
some ill defined "gas pain it would none the
less be wise for you to visit a doctor and have
him examine you so your fears could be
allayed. If you are a woman, part ot the
examination the doctor performs should be a
pelvic exam including taking a culture toy
gonorrhea and other bacteria as pelvic
infections can cause abdominal pain.
QUESTION: When 1 was born, my testes
didn't descend the way it should When I was
eight years old I had to have a "testicle drop"
operation Now I learned that if they don't
descend there is a possibility that the person
may be sterile. Does this mean I'm sterile1
Where can I find out0
ANSWER When the operation is performed
in early childhood, normal testicular function
occurs at the onset of adolescence. It is felt that
the undescended testicle in adulthood does not
produce sperm because of the higher
temperature in the testicle that results when
that organ is held in close contact with the
body. Also, an undescended testicle in
adulthood has a much higher risk of developing
malignancy.
From what you describe you have nothing to
worry about.

He followed orders
To Fountainhead:
After weeks oi indecent attacks on ECU's
greatest statesman. Dr Leo W. Jenkins, by
campus leftists, outside citators. and our
notorious hippy newspapei I was relieved to
read the right-thinking wisdom of Don Osbornc
oi the College Republican Club. Reflecting the
genius oi other party sages particularly the
Honorable Spiro T. Agnew Don has bared the
truth concerning the recci campus problems.
It's all the fault of a small minority of
student no-minds, such as the SGA. All we had
to do was wait for visitation; for our wise,
benevolent administrative leaders rtainlv
would have given us a little more rope over the
next few years, if we had only behaved
ourselves. But no. the greedy leftists couldn't
wait, so now all of us must suffer. Let's hope
we've learned our lesson and will know our
proper place in the future.
Looking at all the great new concrete and
brick buildings around ECU. we must recognize
Dr. Jenkins' contribution Don't let any
jellyfish liberals tell you there's more to making
a university than throwing up new buildings.
That's nonsense. ECU turns out hordes of
people, properly trained to fit flawless!) into
our great country's industrial governmental
machine, just as it should. Soon we'll be
stamping out workers with doctoral degrees.
That s piogress'
Finally we must silence the disrupters who
blame Dr. Jenkins for letting the Board oi
Trustees exercise their God-given authority.
Naturally Dr. Jenkins endorsed the winning
side, for isn't that the traditional American
political way? Who can find blame in this0
Except for the naive, idealistic leftists, all of us
accept the guidance of those better men in high
office Their position in the power structure
naturally gives them authority over us. contrary
to the pinko myth of popular rule We all need
to be guided, even Dr. Jenkins. So we should
remember. Doktor Jenkins was just following
orders, as all right-thinking, true Amerikans
must

Li? .t-footed clods
To Fountainhead:
To the light-footed clods who clomped into
Wright Auditorium during the second
movement of the symphony on May 16, I'm so
glad you came. Was it for a grade or were you
merely displaying your smallftown
pseudo-sophistication9 Your entree grande was
merely indicative of your blatant ignorance. I'm
sure your entrance was held in great favor and
pleasure by every serious listener.
A friend once gave me his motto and I've
found it to be applicable to all types of
performances: "Be a little early and you'll
always be on time
Very impressed,

Press protection
To Fountainhead
Whether or not the University Board and
ECU administration know it or not, the United
States Supreme Court has ruled, in New York
Times Co v. Sullivan 84 S.Ct. 710. 376 U.S.
254, that in regards to press statements about
public officials, the U.S. Constitution affords
absolute protection to the press. In this case.
Justice Brennan stated the opinion of the
Court "There is a national commitment to
principle that debate on public issues should be
uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it
may well include vehement, caustic, and
sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on
government and public officials J"?'ce
Goldberg, with Justice Douglas concurring,
stated "I strongly believe that the Constitution
accords citizens and press an unconditional
freedom to criticize official conduct Justice
Black stated, 'In my opinion the federal
Constitution has dealt with this deadly danger
to the press in the only way possible without
leaving the free press open to destruction by
granting the press an absolute immunity for
criticism of the way public officials do their
public duty
I believe that these distinguished jurists
would agree with those who regard the trials ot
Bill Schell and Bob Thonen as a mockery of
justice with total disregard for the law.

Review lauded
To Fountainhead:
Your "little Murders" kills audience" is the
most brilliant, impartial and penetrating piece
of critical writing which I have come across for
a long time. We are fortunate to have a person
like you Bob. at ECU. I saw the play. Apart
from a few humorous moments and odd bits ot
commonplace wisdom. I found it boring at
many points.
1 am glad you have given credit to several of
the actors who valiantly struggled to salvage
this "comedy of errors" i.e. the playwright's
errors.
Your keen critical approach is backed up by
a vivid style and intellectual refinement.
Congratulations.
Max Tabory
Cartoon reaction
To Fountainhead:
There is only one thing need be said of your
Christ cartoons:
"Ypu shall not make yourself a graven image.
m any likeness of anything that is in heaven
above . . . You shall not take the name of the
Lord your God in vain Exodus 20:4.
Forgive them Lord for they know not what
they do.

Little things count
To Fountainhead:
I am sick and tired, with being
disenfranchised by this university, with student
rights being flagrantly violated, with the
distortion of facts and out and out lies on the
administration's part. But what can I, a mere
student, do about it?
Why can't people treat us like human beings,
do we demand too much0 Maybe we don't
demand enough. Will it take a Berkeley to make
them notice? Perhaps not, but I, then, am not a
political realist. I cannot or conceive of a
politician's selling our or ignoring us as
mindless, irrational creatures. What possesses
them to think that for one instance we could
not exist without their right hand of God
showing us the way? The blind leading the
sighted, the nearlsighted and the far-sighted is
mock-heroic.
Perhaps we do now have a much sought after
medical school, realized by Dr. Jenkins, which
is a tremendous asset. But we do not have the
little things that count: fair and impartial trials,
due process, freedom of speech and most
important of these, freedom of the press.
loo many people have over-stepped their
authority and will continue to do so until they
realize only too late for reconciliation that they
have over-stepped just once too often.
What right, gives these people the audacity to
tell uee that we are wrong? Hiroshima and
Nagasaki belong to them, My Lai reeks of them,
Berkeley. Jackson and Kent aie noteheu on
their rifles and Vietnam is the blood on their
hands.
In the name of humanity, give us back what
you ,tole from us, what you are stealing from
us, what you conspire to steal from us. Give us
back our freedom, give us back our life and give
us back our university Before it is too late

Chivalry survives
To Fountainhead:
To Pi Kappa Alpha from a member of Phi
Beta Kappa:
A crew of jolly gentlemen live right behind
my house They're not as neat as kitty-cats, or
quiet asa mouse I hear their voices raised in
prayer. rejoicing, and in song Sometimes then
devotionals take place the whole night long.
But when it comes to chivalry, and rescuing
their neighbors, though scholars all, they lay
aside their academic labors and sally forth to
get involved with lawmen and with guns,
though they'd be safer in their house with
cocoa and sweet buns
So one old maid professor, when she hears
their cheerful noise is glad they're not all angels
yet but normal human boy's.
Thank You,
Priscilla RoetzeJ

the Devil. Hell. Damnation, and other

Fight repression
To Fountainhead:
It appears that Leo Jenkins is determined to
make his name synonomous with repression.
First, it was visitation, secondly, your
administration banned 'unauthorized
demonstrations (a blatant violation of your
constitutional rights) and thirdly, the editor of
your student newspaper was removed from his
appointed post, another obvious attempt of
repression of your basic rights
Though I might not agree with Mr Thonen's
policy of publishing such an uncensored letter.
I will openly defend his right ?? print anything
he sees fit to print. The students of any
university have the moral responsibility to
express dissenting opwotns without fear of
administrative (or is it political. Leo') backlash
1 sincerely hope that Mr. Thonen and the
students of East Caiolina University will not
become discouraged in the fight against
repressive tactics by your administration If you
do not stand up to dcr Fuhrer now. you will
never be able to call yourselves free.
All you have to do is do it.

Future glimpsed
To Fountainhead:
Monday afternoon a look into the future
took place on this campus In a "court of
justice student jurors and student prosecutors
enjoyed their roles as the Perry Masons of ECU.
However, their little game cost Bob Thonen his
education and possibly his future I say this is a
look into the future, because these students will
become the jurors, lawyers, and politicians of
this country. These people will be able to
commit far more terrible injustices than they
did Monday If we and our children are to live
in freedom and happiness, these people niusi be
stopped between now and 1984. If they arc not
stopped, God help us.
