SGA President Croshaw resigns
Uttr of r? jJMMJM
xjxg li is with a deep sense of regret
gxgthat I am submitting at this time my
Si-igresignation as SGA President, effective
$k?5:00 p.m. this afternoon. This
vSdecision was not reached in a rash
S-gand hasty manner. I have considered
ijigiall the alternatives and consequences
i-iiiji&of this action and finally concluded
gggthat in the best interest of the
wstudent body. I can no longer serve
j&jijin my present capacity,
ggig I do not believe in the dramatic
i-jjijgiexit, however I do feel a deep
obligation to the student body to
Mjex plain the rationale behind my
:?:?? depart lire.
j-iggi My primary reason for resigning is
:$:?Hthe personal realization on my part
j'wl-that 1 am not and will never be able
Kjjgj: t o participate in the cold and
ggg: ruthless world of politics. My greatest
?:? desire is to be a genuine person once
:?;$:?:?: more, not merely a picture on the
:? television or in a newspaper.
;j$j& n add.ition .to niy dlscnchaiitment
with politics, the time limitation
imposed upon my academic
preparation has been much too great.
I desire very much to enter the
study of law next year and the lack
of detailed study now could, quite
conceivably affect my performance in
latter years in law school. 1 have
always felt that I was here primarily
to obtain an education and when
other activities impede this goal these
obstacles must be laid aside.
Finally, the above mentioned
problems have led to a gradual
degeneration of my attitude towards
life in general. I hope each of you
will understand that the attitude and
disenchantment I am now
experiencing are not conducive tojif
leadership, and I would be cheating
not only myself but each and every;$?$
member of the student body if I i
continued to serve. :???:
In closing I hope that I haven't let?:
appreciate the support that students j:f;
gave to me when times were rough. I :
can't begin to thank the individuals fll
who have helped me in all phases of ?f?;
my job. I sincerely hope that each Ww.
and every student will accept my ?$
apologies and try to understand that W?
most of all 1 want to be a regular Wf.

Greenville, North C

It has become evident recently that the
bail-bond system in Pitt County is helping some
people, while hurting others
Father Charles Mulholland, bishop of St.
Gabriel's Catholic Church and director of the
Newman Club on ECU campus, is one of many
people trying to correct this situation.
Several persons have been affected by the
bail-bond system, particularly since the racial
uprisings centeruig around Ayden.
In a recent march protesting the state
highway patrol's- failure to dismiss Trooper
Billy Day alter the fatal shooting of
William Earl Murphy on August 6. Mrs. Mattie Taylor
was arrested.
Mrs Taylor is a teacher at Wahl-Coates
School.
Mrs. Taylor was not released, even on
recognizance of her husband. City Councilman
John Taylor Her release was not final until
Mrs. Myra Cain, a faculty member of ECU,
signed tor her bond
Magistrate Luther Mxre exercised his
discretionary power in allowing Mrs. Cain to
sign, since her husband was not present.
Mrs Taylor's case is to be tried December 9.
The usual bailing procedure (other than
paying bail or a bondsman) is that a person is
considered "out on bond" if someone owning
real estate in Pitt County signs for his release to
ensure his appearance in court or if the person
signing is a recognized responsible citizen of
Pitt County.
In Mrs. Taylor's case, Moore said he could
not allow Mrs. Cain to sign since she was not
the sole owner of the property in Pitt County
and her husband was not present. He later
changed his mind.
Father Mulholland has been considered in
the latter category (responsible citizen) until
recently Since he signed for ACLU lawyer
J-rrv Paul's release after his recent arrest,
rather Mulholland is no longer allowed to sign
for an accused person's bond.
Moore had no comment on this situation.
Father Mulholland said, "Bail-bond is not
used to guarantee that the accused will show up
in court, but it is a way of keeping people in
jail. To discourage certain people from activity,
the bonding procedure is used
"A person is supposedly innocent until
proven guilty Father Mulholland continued.
"To consider all people equal, the bail-bond
procedure is a burden on the poor
Who comes to the rescue of arrested students
and members of minority groups
Concerned citizens and church people in
Greenville hope to have some answers to these
and other questions. 'The ACLU and interested
church people are hoping to appeal to the
proper officials in Pitt County for correction.
The officials may not be aware of students' and
minorities' legal problems said Father
Mulholland.
The group. The Social Action Committee of
the Greenville Ministerial Association, has as its
aims: to visit the jail and bring comfort and aid
to the prisoners; to extablish a fund to help
people with bond who cannot help themselves
financially; to try to determine who is
responsible for supervisiong bail-bond
procedures.
" The fund, maybe of about $10,000. will
be a means of assuring those who sign for bonds
that they will get their money even if the
accused doesn't show up in court said Father
Mulholland.
The social action group also plans to
investigate and offer advice on housing, day
care and nutrition.
Students are invited to join the ACLU.
Father Mulholland stated that present
bail-bond procedures are just one cause of
society's 'increasing misunderstanding and
polarization
Lack of interest kills

"On Oct. 13 of this year . . protest on this
campus, show the state that we are a thinking
element. Do not let our sister universities say
that ECU did nothing to help stop the war
This is what Michael Jacobson wrote in an
editorial that appeared in "Fountainhead" on
Sept 28. It was written concerning the planned
moratorium against the wai to be held here to
coincide with National Moratorium Day, which
was yesterday.
"I wrote this editorial, becauseknew that
95 per cent of the students read
"Fountainhead and thus it was the most
powerful voice to the students. I had hoped the
students would read it and realize the
importance of this movement says Jacobson.
Apparently no one read it. because the mall
was quiet yesterday.
"If the students don't have enough interest
to get out and organize these things, then they
can't expect anything to happen, because they
won't just pop up by themselves says Bmcc
Savage; who, along with Jacobson. took sole
initiative to try and organize here at ECU.
On Sept. 30, Savage and Jacobson set up a
peace table in the Student Union for giving out
information concerning the moratorium plans
for ECU Here also were lists for interested
volunteers sign and help with the organizing.
"We hau maybe 50-100 persons stop and
show interest, but not one signed up says
Savage. "I haven't had anyone beating down
my door to help either he added.
"Two or three people can't do this thing
alone" says Jacobson. "we need two or three
thousand
The two had been working for two week:
setting up a program for ECU's participation in
the national demonstrations Contracts were
being made with Nick Galafanikas. the
Fayetteville arm of Vietnam Veterans against
the War; and a co-defendant of the Harnsburg I
(group of priests and nuns charged with
destroying draft files), as to the possibilities of
their presence here for a rally.
AJso. some sort of entertainment, sued a a
Berrtgan Brothers was to be provided. A
candlelight session was to end the day's
free band performance and a film on the
activities.
"We had the avid support of the campus
ministry for this thing" says Savage, and he
added "I would like to thank Father Mullohand
and the Reverands Bob Clyde. Jim Boswell.
William Hadden. and Dan Earnhardt for their
genuine interest "
"We had the co-operation not only of the
ministry, but Dean Alexander wouldn't have
given us any hassle either We had everyone's
support but the student's" says Jacobson
Moratorium Day is sponsored by the
National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC) This
group is most interested and active in trying to
end the war in Southeast Asia.
"The program here at ECU was to be
co-ordinated with the goals of the NPAC" savs
Savage "It was designed to educate the people
as to what is going on in Vietnam and what has
happened there since 1968" he added
"The two goals of the NPAC are (at the
immediate and unconditional withdrawal ol all
materials and troops from Southeast Asia, and
b all ai lions taken toward this end will be
done so in a peaceful, orderly, and
non-confrontation type fashion This
peaceful-type demonstration was to have been
stressed also" states Savage
"Apparently the students on this campus
don't care about anything that doesn't touch
them penonaOy. It will take a persona lorn or
something like thus to get any invntvement at
all" said Jacobson
On Nov 6. there wiiJ be another Moratorium
in Washington geared to the same end ?
yesterday's. Neither Savage nor Jacobson forsee
the need to try and organize anything else here
"Not again" says Savage. "This is just too
much for just two people to handle without
help or results, and apparently the students
here don't care about the killing in Vietnam "
"Bruce and 1 are going to Washington on
Nov. 6" says Jacobson. "The apath; on this
campus dictates that the students aren't
bothered with the war. Either something has to
be done aboul this attitude, or the students will
fall by the wayside" ht adds
In concluding. Jacobson stated. "I am
completely disallusioned by the lack of interest
at ECU. out I sort of expected it "
Savage added "I felt that more people would
be interested because of the continuing
situation m Southeast Asia, with the elections
and all Evidently it is just a surface
thing people wearing peace patches and not

General College pre-registration is again
dec-ending upon us beginning the week of
October 11. And usually the best advice that
one hears to cope with pre-registration is "to
stay home
Dean of General College, Donald Bailey,
offers some helpful hints to students who must
again enter the "mad house" of pre-registration.
First of all. it is important for the student to
have some idea of the basic requirements of the
type of degree he is seeking, according to
Bailey
"A realized assestnieni of one's own abilities
should most definitely be taken into account
Bailey says. One of the major problems
encountered in General College is that students
take a heavier load that they can possibly
handle. It is better for some to take less hours
than to submerge themselves beneath a heavy
flow of work. A conference with one's own
advisor before entering pre-registration enables
him to be better informed on his course of
study.
"The time for individual counseling is not
during pre-registration says Bailey, "A
lengthly indepth conference is impossible fo
each student when there are so many waiting tc
register
Students should also seek out sources of
information because of the failure in the
communication system. Bulletin boards and
announcements should be read if the student
wants to keep in touch with the latest
developments. The dates of placement tests and
other invaluable information can be found to.
keep the student informed. ,
Another problem students encounter is that
many are not aware that pre-registration runs a
full week. Mondays are usually very idle, while
Wednesdays thete is a 'pile-up Students
should take advantage of the morning hours
during pre-registration because there is usually
no waiting line, according to Bailey.
Since there has been no "business" during
the morning hours pre-registration will open at
9 00 am this year instead of 8 00 am as in the
past.
"Fio-iegistration priorities do not go to the
that register en Monday opposed to those who
wait until Friday says Dr. Bailey Seniors get
first choice at classes, juniors second,
sophomores third, and freshmen come last. "As
for freshmen explains Dr. Bailey "this is
something they will soon grow out of
Another misconception about General
College is that when a person enters, he is
required to stay two years, but actually only
until he meets the requirements of the
particular field he chooses does he remain in
General College
A piiviledge granted to students is that they
have the choice of choosing the particular
requirements of any catalog published during
their academic years at ECU
As for interpretation and clarification
problems of the ECU catalog. Bailey feels that
the new catalog has been tremendously
improved over the last few years, but there are
still points of confusion that should still be
cleared up.
The major criticism of the present system of
General College pre-registration is "the timing
of it" explaind B?iley. "It comes much too
early, it is not even mid-term, and the student
usually has no indication if he is to pass or fail
his present schedule he says.
Yet, the time of pre-registration is set early
in order to give the registrar time to process the
schedules "I am told said Bailey, "that if
pre-registration was any later, the schedules
would not be ready in time for the next
quarter
According to Bailey, some people feel that
pre-registration should be two weeks instead of
one. but taking the faculty away from the
classroom for such a period would probably
harm the student more than compressing the
time into one week. Some also feel that
pre-registration should be disbanned altogethet.
"1 feel the present system is as effective as
possible, but if anyone has suggestions on how
things could be done bettet, ! am open to
change Bailey stated.

Only students "making it on thicr own" and
living in a legal household are eligible for food
stamps, according to federal regulations put
into effect last February.
New eligibility laws are directed at the
commune-type home with no legal ties or legal
head of family, according to Mrs. Evelyn
Heidenreich, supervisor of the Food Stamps
Division of the Pitt County Department of
Social Sevices.
A r ' old is defined as a group of related
individuals, or non-related individuals over age
60 who are not residents of an'institution or
boarding house, living as an economic unit,
sharing common cooking facilities or
customarily purchasing food in common.
A single individual living alone who has
cooking facilities is i also considered a
household. If the legality of a relationship is
questioned, the burden of proof is upon the
student.
Another new regulation says that if anyone
over age eighteen is claimed by parents or other
taxpayer for federal income tax purposes, that
child is ineligible for food stamps Forms are

point on. students arc treated as are other

and hard language, "Russian "
"N it true that you have to have an 1.0. of
150 in outer to study Russian "What?" Dr.
Malbj had heard some strange questions about
the Russian language, but Ibis was the strangest
ol all
Russian according to Dr Malby. "has a
reputation ol being extremely difficult to learn.
Some believe that an extremels high .Q. is a
must and that just the learning of the alphabet
is an impossible task Well, it takes about J-3
dayi to learn how to write Russian Most ol the
letters are taken from Greek and students can
sec and recognize those on fraternity and
son houses The test is a matter of daily
steady work that require! no more time than
most other courses The secret is not to let
things pile up, One can't simply cram lor a
Russian or in) othei language exam.

SUPfcRFLOUSMEN
i?i Malb) came to ECU a yew ago from
FroJtburg State College in Maryland where she
taught German and Russian foi lour years She
left hei native counirs of Yugoslavia 14 years
ago Part of liet undergraduate work was done
there and In Italy. After coming to the Tinted
States, she linished her undergraudate work at
I l"iuia Slate where she majored in Russian.
German and French While there she became a
member of Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Delta Phi
honorary societies, and was then granted a
siholaiship to Harvard where she did her
graduate and doctorate work
At Harvard Dr Malby specialized in Slavic
languages and Slavic literature. Her master's
then dealt with the "superfluous men special
male characters typical of the Russian society
in the first half of the 19th century, portrayed
by Turgenev and Pushkin.
Her doctorate thesis was related again to
literature and dealt with special female
characters who appear in the Yugoslav
literature-passionate and intelligent women
who were doomed by their environment Their
attempt to free themselves from this stagnant
atmosphere caused much disapproval from the
people and finally led to their tragic end.
Despite the ugliness and cruelty that enveloped
their lives, there is. according to Dr Malby. a
lot of spiritual and moral strength and beauty
in them.
ANSWERS "WHYS'
Reminiscing about her studies at Harvard.
Dr. Malby remembers especially a course in
Russian literature, which, whenever offered,
attracted same 160 students from all areas of
study This course covered the foremost
Russian writers of the 19th century including
Pushkin. Gogol. Turgenev. Dostoevski and
Tolstoy. Each one of these writers. Dr. Malby
said, reveals to us a part of the truth with which
we strive to familiaric ourselves
Each one of these writers gives us many
answers to the "whys" of our existence, and.
without fail, enrich our spirit and clarify our
understanding of life
It is Dr. Malby's wish to share this edifying
experience with the students here. During
winter quartc. she will be teaching a Russia"
literature course, covering the writers named
above, which will be open to all students,
regardless ol major or classification. No
prerequisites arc necessary, and the course will
attkf) the general college requirements for
litcratu e The course will be taught in English
"After a brief outline of Russia's literary
past Dr. Malby explained, "students will be
introduced to the major themes of Russian
literature-the theme of the superflous man. the
possessed man. the "little" man. the tragic end
of all beauty, and the theme of
crime-puruthment liin-redcrnption)
By analyzing such works as the Queen of
Spades, fathers and Sons. Crime and
PumshoK'ut. Anne Karentna and War and Peace,
students will follow the development of the
themes as well as certain unique literary
characters. In connection with this, there will
be discussion of such important issues as man's

From the mailbag

Yesterday I witnessed my first legislature
meeting. It was a farce No one knew what was
going on, and no one really seemed to
care-except SGA treasurer, Kandy Honnet
However, Mr. Honnet, though tilled with a
lot of figures-plus something else, obvious!)
had his pet project-the SGA executive budget
To get what he felt was necessary for himself
and his fellow workers, he offered two ver)
asinine suggestions for cuts in the budgets. One
was to eliminate one of the buses spring quartet
(which was approved ovei the campus
referendum), and the other was to hrnu
Fountainhead to one issue per week
Though nothing can be done aboui the bus.
something can be done about cutting
Fountainhead.
We students, rely on the paper to voice our
opinions Maybe Mr Honnet does not think
student opinions mean anything even though
the students elected him
legislators, don't let the paper be cut, you
may be cutting v our throats in the future.

conversation has taken plate several tunes, onlv
recently n is beginning to make more lenie
Why are we here at ECU Naturall) .we're here
to get a college diplomay. i know, that little
scrap ot paper that you are working youi ass
off for nghl now. Well, did you evet Mop to ask
yourtelf why Why you are putting up with all
of those courses that you can't stand? Why you
beat your brains out the night before a big tesi
when you know you won't be able to
remembet a ihing after it is all over What is the
purpose of It air Well, from the wav 1
understand it, it all boil down to a more
complex society, the more complex the society,
the more are the demands foi higher education
So our society must be pretty complex foi
today the diploma has skyrocketed above and
beyond its relative itnpoii.i
It may sound like we're knocking down
colleges Well, in a sense wi are!ollege should
be for people who need a lot ol educational
background, like teachers oi foi people who
want to learn a lot about different things
Professions like art, musn i drama need onlv
the basic and necessarv ounci lor being
forced into subjects thai ine doesn't see anv
need tor only results in a loss ol Incentive This
loss of incentive u a majoi cause for college
drop-outs today. Perhaps what we need are
more technical schools foi the people with one
major line of interest.
It seems to me that the best incentive foi
learning is in life itself One should learn to
think for himself, doing what he thinks is nghl.
and not so much about what others will think
of him. If college is what you want-great, slay
here. If not-well, books aren't everything Life
itself teaches a lot. lor as I see it, life is
learning, and learning is in hie

Alumnus speaks
To Fountainhead
As an alumnus ol ECU, I am appalled at the
recenl news heard There is, as I understand it,
a possibility that the Summei Theatre may not
gei the funds to operate at Its professional best
this coming vear due to either the lack of
interest ol the SGA 01 a budget cut
Although I am no longer a student at the
I'imersity. I leel that this would be a great
disaster to 1(1 and the talents oi f'dgar
I oessm and his staff and the drama students as
well as lo the already culturally deprived area
oi I astern Carolina.
I suggest you reconsider your decisions on
the ECU Summer Theatre and the Drama
Department Lets continue to have first rate
professional talent and productions at much
less than professional costs.
Yours truly.

Questions parkinq
Io Fountainhead
As heingorie ol the residents of Slay Dorm, I
would like io inquire about the parking
facilities Freshmen girls occupied Slav Dorm
last year, so understandably there was no
parking problem since freshmen are not allowed
to have vehicles on campus.
Well, the administration as usual, has made
another one of then well-planned and well
thought out moves They have placed or have
allowed upperclastmen to live in Slay Dorm.
This is hue. hut they forgot thai many of the
upperclassmen would bung their cars with
them, instead ol leaving them parked on the
Hill
Out ot the approximately 27s students who
reside in Slay Dorm, there are al least 75 people
who have cars The administration has allowed
us a total of 33 parking, places in both Slay and
I instead paiking lots.
I do not see why the staff should be given
the majority ol parking places: students and
stall are equal. If some of the staff are willing
to lake me home and to other places in which I
want to go. I will gladly relinquish my pausing
slickei
There are 33 parking spaces provided. I have
not figured out whether this innovative
administration wants us to park 3 cars in a
parking space or what
I have only one request, that the
administration get off their posteriors and
provide enough parking facilities since we have
provided them with our $5 parking fee.
Sincerely,
Chuck Turltey
one was not consulted, noi were any of my
friends here
You might be surpnsed if you'd check with
the student body about their opinion
concerning the football team-in fact about the
entire athletic program Since I've been at II
the football games have been the only events in
which I have noticed a large, expressed interest
hv the student body and the public.
Support in defeat as well as victors
football, as well as any other sport, requires a
lot both mentally and physically from many
people. If the "minor sports" here received
more support, then they too would probably
receive more funds. Next tune you feel the
need to write an editorial on some phase of the
athletic program-try one on spirit,
sportsmanship, oi participation The world has
enough destructive criticism-it needs a little
constructive praise for a change Make it a point
to try and understand the sports events
here then get out and support the teams-all of
them' Make the minor sports majoi too. and
they'll gei the money they need

To Fountainhead:
As members of the Freshman class, we have
had several conversations with the former
Vice-President of the SGA During orientation,
even though David Ldwards was not a
counselor, he gave us moie help than anyone
who gave speeches We cannot understand why
the Administration of ECU gave him so much
trouble.
This incident not only arouses suspicion ui
our minds but also gives us grave doubts about
the Administration's policies toward persons
who express their own ideas and opinions
i?ward certain individual rights This has to be
the most stunning and conspicuous act that has
happened during the short time we have been
here. We deeply regret the announcement of his
resignation and wish him well in the future

End debate
To Fountainhead
Lei's end the religion debate I'm sure that
I m not the only one who has become bored
with it The whole thing stems from a gross
misinterpretation of a cartoon I drew Anyone
who lelt that it was meant to be the least bit
iconoclastic was in error.
PS. Reactionary defensiveness is an indicator
of doubl.

Cuts paper
To Fountainhead
The verbal slap in the face which your
editorial and cartoon delivered lo the players,
coaches, fans, and countless other people who
work to create Ihe excitement of Saturday
loo thai I games here and throughout this
country and several others, brought forth an
opinion from me which I do feel qualified to
express
My background in sports editing, writing,
and reporting along with actual school paper
editing, taught me a lot about not only sports
and what goes into them, but also about
editorials and what should go into them, or not
go into them
Not only should tacts be obtained, but
student opinions, should not be alluded lo
without checking first with the students I i
