Class simulates political party rituals
For the past three years certain students
at ECU have elected a President of the
United States. The president is elected as
part of a political science course which is
offered here. Oral Parks, professor in the
political science department, teaches the
class. Political Parties 220. It is a simulation
of a political parties national convention.
Parks experience in the field is three-fold, he
has worked as a research assistant, he has
been an observer to a convention, and has
had experience as an usher for a convention,
arks noted, "I have not actually been a
voting member of a convention, I have been
an outsider looking in
The class has been offered for three
years, and this year it was offered this
quarter. With his class Parks tries to recreate
the activity of a national convention. There
are three roles from which the student may
chooset strategist, delegates and media
representatives.
The strategists run the campaigns for the
candidates. There is one strategy team for
each candidate. The candidates are not actual
living persons, they are given personalities
and other characteristics by members of the
strategy team. Delegates play the role of the
voter in the conventions The media
representatives hold press conferences with
the strategists to find out the political views
of the candidates.
ISSUES
This year the simulation was of the
Democratic National Convention and there
were four candidates in the running Each
candidate has to take a stand on five
political issues; poverty, law and order,
Vietnan civil rights and the farm economy.
The strategists take a position for their
respective candidates and then twice during
the simulation they are given the chance to
change their positions on the issues
FIVE SESSIONS
The simulation is divided into five
sessions. First is the primary elections during
which the four major primaries are held The
next session is the preliminary to the
convention itself. Actual convention balloting
is next and in this stage the candidate is
chosen. The fourth session is devoted to the
campaigning for the presidenc) by the
candidate which has been chosen in the
convention. Finally the election itself is held
and a president is chosen by the students
which represent the total voting populace
The third session is the most exciting
according to Parks. 'The student really gets
wound up during this session which involves
quite a bit of persuasion "
When asked about the purpose of the class
Parks said, "It is to make the student realize
the factors involved in a national convention
There are a lot of political variables at work
during such a process A lot of students
don't realize the amount of persuation which
goes on during a carnpign. There is more to
a convention than what we see on our TV
screens
The class is vei. political and strict rules
such as time and procedure rules have been
set up by Parks. "The delegates have to
research their states and vote, not as they
themselves would but as their states have in
the past " The personality profiles of the
candidates also have to follow current
political thought. The candidate that won
the nomination this year was a cross
between a Muskie and a Ted Kennedy Parks
said. "It is very interesting to note that the
personality profiles of all the winning
candidates, for the past three years, have
been quite similar "
The class will be taught again I he spring
of 1973.
ECU delegation honored
Support from students
sought by candidates
A delegation of three ECU students
attended a mock session of the Organization
of American States at Washington and Lee
University in Lexington, Virginia on
February 4th and 5th and came away
honored as the best delegation present.
The ECU delegation, chaired by SGA
Under Secretary for External Affairs Joey
Horton. had two other members, Timothy
Wehner and Susanne Stanton. The ECU
members were chosen by a process of
interviews in addition to the interest they
had in their subject.
The purpose of the session, with nine
schools in attendance, was to better acquaint
the participating students with the countries
they "represented
The ECU delegates represented Chile
Commenting on the preparation that went in
to getting ready for the sessions, Ms. Horton
Coeds get defender
Women residents who commit offense's
that req'uire them to go before the Women's
Residence Council Court (WRC) have the
opportunity of having student legal council
or aid.
Cindy Farrell, a junior at ECU, is
presently serving as public defender for all
women residents.
"I am very interested in the area of law
said the sociology major from Falls Church,
Va "and would like to help women
residents in any judiciary matter before the
WRC"
Appointed by the Assistant Dean of
Women, the public defender's purpose is that
of insuring a completely fair and unbiased
presentation of cases before the judiciary
court.
"Her job is to insure the defendant of a
fair and impartial, and unbiased hearing
reads the student handbook, the KEY.
"I haven't handled any cases this year
said Ms. Farrellt"but I suppose that's
because most women don't know of my
position
The WRC court handles all cases of
judiciary violations except those involved
with visitation, which have just recently been
turned over to the individual dorm house
councils.
Ms. Farrell lives in Tyler 126 and may be
reached at 752-3270.
said. "We tried to become experts on Chde "
That task was made even more interesting
since Chile's president, Salvador Allende.
leads a Marxist coalition government.
Some of the other delegations embellished
their roles by the addition of military
costumes representative of the countries from
which they were delegates. All apparently to
no avail since ECU walked awaj jvith the
best delegation award and Ms. Horton was
chosen the best delegate at the session. This
was the third successive year ECU had won
top delegation honors.
Ms. Horton said she thought the
experience would be particularly valuable to
interested students in political science,
history, or business.
Correction
In the February 10 issue of Fountainhead,
a story was run on the suit being filed by
ECU students against the Pitt County Board
of Elections. There was an error in fact in
the story.
Nineteen students, rather than 16 stated,
have filed against the Board for a total of
$190,000. Fountainhead regrets this error.
Mathmmotics and �nvironmmnt
By BRUCE SAVAGE
Staff Writer
Last week marked the beginning of
Campaign '72 on the ECU campus.
Gubernatorial candidate from both parties
brought their candidacies to ECU in search
of support.
Appearing at an informal rally on
Wednesday. Feb. 9, Wilmington real estate
developer Hugh Morton attempted to
convince students to elect him in the May 6
Democratic primary.
Republican candidate Jim Holhouser visited
the campus on Thursday. Feb. 10. After
meeting students and SGA leaders. Holhouser
was interviewed by representatives of WECU
and Fountainhead.
DOESN'T SUPPORT
Holhouser opened the interview by stating
that he did not support students registering
and voting in their college toWs
"It would be politically advantageous
to announce that support students
registering and voting in their college towns.
However, J foresee problems arising from
such a move and thereby do not support
students in their attempt
In answer to the question of legalizing
marijuana. Holhou -r stated that it was not a
question tor a governor to deal with. Pressed
further, Holhouser said he did not favor
legalization.
When asked about liberalizing abortion
laws in North Carolina. Holhouser stated.
"North Carolina probably has the most
liberal abortion laws of any state in the
nation I don't believe we need any new
legislation
POLLUTION
On the matter of pollution and the
ecology, Hoihouser stated pollution had to
be dealt with by a concerned citizenry.
However, the Republican candidate stated
that he did not approve of the state
acquiring such ecologically-endangered areas
as Bald Head Island
"We assuredly have an interest in the
ecology of the area, but not to the extent
of buying the island We would certainly be
obligated to see that certain parts of the
island were preserved "
Asked his impressions of ECU. Holhouser
stated that he had heard numerous
complaints from students on the library
conditions. He stated that he felt such
conditions would be alleviated by the new
governing board for the institutions of higher
education in North Carolina.
In concluding the interview. Hoihouser
stated that he supported President Nixon's
re-election. "I feel that he is undoubtedly
the best man for the job
ECU professor goes on lecture tour
Have mathematicians created a
Frankenstein Has mathematicians imposed on
nature's environment in a way that can never
be dealed with
These and other questions will by raised by
Dr William M. Whyburn, professor of
mathematics at ECU who will visit other
universities during the winter and spring as
Visiting Lecturer for the Mathematical
Association of America. His topic will be
"Mathematics and Our Environment His
talks are designed to appeal to the general
public.
In the first of three parts of the lecture,
Whyburn discusses 'Nature as a
mathematician" Nature, says Whyburn, is a
superb mathematician. She has solved
problems worse than we are able to even
ittack. Many of the common mathematical
figures and solids were designed by Nature
long before man emerged from the caves
"Crystals, quartz, common salt and other
minerals are readily identified as shapes for
solids which occur in mathematical text
books. Nature draws circles readily when a
stone is dropped on a calm body of water.
Spheres occur as raindrops and spirals are seen
in shelves of snails
"Nature continues Whyburn, "not only
has forms and symetry, but also has many
operations of mathematics that are used with
more apparent ease then in the case of
humans The concept of 1 to 1
correspondence sets and triangularzation are
among the most elementary ones used by
Nature
Hexacons are made by wasps and bees as
they design their nest for maximum
protection and strength. Centuries after
Nature made this discovery man invented
calculus and solved the same problem. '
"Where human mathematicians are
investigating and applying linear programming,
nature has been using linear and non-linear
programming since the beginning of time The
s 'ccess of this is evidenced by the fact that
plant and animal life have survived changes of
season and variation of temperature
"Nature Whyburn, concluded, "is a pretty
jolly good mathematician.
The next topic is human mathematic
imposed on Nature. "With mathematics we
design and build dams, change courses o(
streams, and build instruments which
pollute the air, water and ground "These,
commented Dr. Whyburn. "are the
environmental matters that are the greatest
concern to humans at the present time Most
of our attempts to solve problems that we
created are more emotional in character then
mathematical Dr Whyburn says that a
mathematical model should be made of the
problem, thereby detaching it from the
emotional setting. The problem should be
discussed first not the answer.
The last topic which Whvburn confesses
might offend some people is mathematics as it
affects our economical, mental, political, and
social environment It is here that he expresses
his fear least mathematical machines dictate
all aspects of our lives. He says
"Communications between humans and
humans are changing to humans to computers
and worse-computers to computers. Such
intangible qualities as compassion and
forgiving and unprogrammed occurrence is
becoming extinct " Whyburn gives us a
frightening illustration of this "When an
officer stops you, communication to Raleigh
concerning your car and your record
immediate!) takes place. The situation no
longer involves you and the policeman; the
situation is controlled by a computer Maybe
your baby is sick in the hospital but the
policeman can not all w for this sin.e the
computer has alreadv programmed the
evidence Compassion has no room
"With all our machines, computers have
created more leisure and have taken awav out
power to make decisions People cant even
make decisions Whyburn also discusses the
dating computers. "Perhaps they will
eventually control marriages and divorces. The
world might-in time-convert the world to
computers Humans could be eliminated'
"I'm the person responsible lor bringing
computers to the University of Chapel Hill
he admitted, "but I recognize the potential
menace in it Long before the general public
was concerned computer experts were
worried. No one wants to live strictly by
rules. No one wants a Frankenstein "
Especially not Dr. William Whyburn. He
enjoys sitting in his office watching all the
people walk by Wednesday he wore a French
shirt decorated with chickens His daughter
had given it to him and he didn't want to
hurt her feelinp
Phase II. 71-72 topic for
Federal Reserve VP

Phase II? There's been a lot of questions.
On Feb. 17, at 4:00 pjn Phase II and
other economic developments and conditions
of '71 and 72, will be discussed and
explained.
James Monhollon, vice-president of the
Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Va will
lecture and entertain questions concerning
President Nixon's economic policy and
general questions on the price and wage
controls.
Monhollon is the guest of Omicron Delta
Epsilon, the economics fraternity, at ECU.
"Mr. Monhollon visited us last year for a
panel discussion said Dr. Louis Zincone,
head of the business department it ECU,
"and he enjoyed it enough to want to come
back this year
Zincone said he felt Monhollon could
explain Phase II better than many others
because of his background work in the field
of economics with the federal government.
"He certainly knows more about it than
the average person said Zincone, "and 1
think he will be very interesting
Monhollon, an economist, received his BA
from Weyland University, his MA from the
University of Wyoming, and his PhD from
Vinderbilt
Today, his job requires more of a
day-to-day check on the bank's systems aad
keeping the president of the company
informed of what's going on in the economic
system.

Bob Ringer ad Tom
Marsh keyed this rally and
Mike Smith hit several clutch
baskets while grabbing live
big rebounds in the final six
minutes.
In winning their third
game against nine losses, the
Baby Bucs were led in
scoring by Ringer with 18
points and Smith with 17.
Tom Marsh also scored in
double figures as he hit six
of nine free throws and
wound up with 10 points
Off the boards, the Baby
Bucs claimed a slight 44f
edge, thanks largely to 14
rebounds by Marsh, 13 by
Smith and 12 by Ringer
It was the first time this
season the Baby Bucs have

Pirates return to stadium
Last November 6, 23 I Cl

what the) thought was then
final appearance in Ficklen
Stadium.
Two frosh

I w o EC I freshman
basketball players have been
named to honorable mention
slots on the North Carolina
All-State Collegiate freshman
Team.
Fred Stone of Cayce S.C
and Tom Marsh of Bethesda.
Md . were selectee! by the
sports stall of the
Greensboro DaiK News
There are two unique
circumstances in their
selection Neither one ol the
cagers is on an athletic
scholarship ji ECU They are
"walk-ons" on a team with
OUT) one scholarship player.
Secondly, t hey were
selected from a team with a
rather unimpressive 3�
record.
Pirate freshman coach Tom
Crump expressed both
surprise anil pleasure with the
selections.
"I know that Fred and
Tom are both outstanding
players he commented.
"but I always figured dial the
fact that they were not on
grants and our losing record
would limit then exposure.
They well deserve this honor
because they have given so
much for nothing
Stone is currently leading
the baby Bucs with an
average ol IS points per
game. Marsh is averaging 17 1
points and is the leading
reboun ler with an I 1.6
average

Randle concluded the
announcement by saying. "I
can think of no better time
to start a varsity-alumni
game. With 23 men returning
from last year's squad, the
alumni can field as strong a
post-graduate team as I can
conceive. It should develop

Superior free throw
shooting and a near two to
one edge in rebounding led
ECU to its 91-83 triumph
over The Citadel Saturday
night
The win, ECU'S 10th in 20
games overall and seventh in
11 conference games
solidifies the Pirate hold on
third place in the SC md
gives them added experience
with the playoff coming up
in less than three weeks
After taking on St Francis
last night, the Pirates will
now host the always tough
Old Dominion Monarchs
Thursday night
Against 'The Citadel, the
Pirates expected another
tough fight for The Citadel
had won the last meeting
between these teams and
they got it.
After only 1 14 had been
played, John Sutor and Jim
Below gave the Bulldogs a
6-0 lead and the game was
starting just the same way
the William and Mary game
had started, when the Indians
broke loose for a 15-3 lead
Earl Quash began the
uphill fight for the Pirates as
he hit a jumper from the
side after 3:53.
Before the half was over,
the Pirates were able to take
as large a lead as five points,
helped out by a freak basket
by The Citadel's Mike Morris,
who tipped the ball into the
wrong basket.
The Citadel cut to within
two points on the first score
of the second half but that
was as close as the visitors
could get.
Jim Fairley and Dave
Franklin then paced a rally
that put the Pirates ahead by
20 points. 64-44, with 11 55
left.
That seemed to do it but
before too long The Citadel
pulled to within eight points,
scoring 12 in a row.
After a timeout, the
Pirates were able to hold on
to their final eight point
margin, their second straight
SC win in four nights and
their fifth straight home
victory.
Fairley led both teams

clubs and pace the Pirates to

Coach T 0 in Q u i n n
attributed Fairley and Faber
as having perhaps their most
complete games of the year
Me was also pleased with the
defense.
"I think our defense wore
them down he said "It has
definitely improved over the
past several weeks I think
we proved thai in one spurt
tonight When we went to
the zone for a period, it was
probably an error on my
part. We were just trying

Franklin, who has come on
strong in the past lew weeks,
drew praise from the coach
for sparking the team dunng

Pope and Nicky White also
did a fine job after coming
off the bench, according to
Quinn

Pirate attack with a pKM
Quinn was pleased with the

"Our attack against the

Quinn feels that the
remaining games before the
tournament will be a testing
ground toward getting more
experience for the fin

weeks foes as pretty rough
teams and says the
competition "isn't getting any

State political circus aimed
away from college student
rhe spotlight is on the center ring
as tlif political circus swings into lull
scale Each performer has rehearsed
his acl io perfection The quality f
each acl is now being judged
In North Carolina both national
and state candidates arc showing their
bags of tricks It seems however, thai
the circus acts they've prepared are
not geared for the "kiddies
Jim Holhouser Republican can
didate for governor apparently is
uninterested in the college student
vote He is quick to announce his
feelings againsl allowing students to
vote in their respective college towns
Holhouser is not alone m his
supposedly adult geared' per
formance for the gubernatorial race
The general trend seems to he away
from the 18-21 year-old group toward
the traditional lo and over respon-
sible' citizens
Perhaps the gubernatorial can
didates should all stop to take stock of
the situation The trend 1 national
government is moving toward the
youth in every aspect The college
students ol today are working and will
continue to work in the future on the
political scene They are the future.
College students across the state
should take note of the treatment they
are receiving by each gubernatorial
candidate because this same treat-
ment ina be reflected after election
time The gubernatorial race may not
seem quite as important considering
this is also the year of the presidential
election
However, as ECU is a state-
supported institution, the guber-
natorial winner may affect the
structure ot this institution in the next
four years
A conscientious look at all the
candidates and their platforms is
highly suggested for the betterment
ot the entire state as well as ECU.

Praises orchestra
I" Fountainhead
The London Symphon) Orchestra played a
tine conceit ai ECU on Tuesday Principle
conductoi Andre Previn chose to give us a
better chance to learn about his orchestra's
strengths and weaknesses b presenting
entirely different music In each piece.
All were excellently balanced between
things familiar and unfamiliar to many
students.
Previn made no attempt to amae the
audience with tlashv pieces that would
guarantee the almost standard standing
ovation.
The orchestra'l confidence in Previn would
seem to he justified from his performance
here on Feb H. In my opinion, he has
developed into a very solid maestro. He is
no grandstander - he pays attention to the
music and makes an impact through his
players. Indeed, watching him work was a
little dull at times.
However. 1 considered the performance a
great treat, despite Mr. Beard's poor
comment "perhaps Previn is better as a
personality than a composer

The opinions expressed by this newspaper
are not necessardy those of East Carol.na University
To Fountainhead:
The following is a letter I sent to the
�� in reply to the questionnaire that was
sent to me concerning the proposed new
Union
I lee! that this plan for a new Union
necessitated my writing a letter to snow how
I really feel.
The monetary aspect is the one that
mtritities me the most. Isn't it rather absurd
to spend S3 ,500.000.00 on a lacihtv which
is a duplicate of one that alreadv exists' I his
especial!) seems odd in a year that is noted
for its cut-backs in departmental budgets lie
1" tnd drama) and as a result a cut down
in the number of professors. Wouldn't it be
moie important for East Carolina to be
known lor its scholastic quality rather than
tor the fact that it has an excess ol soda
flips'
I guess this has hit me especially hard
because I am an out-of-state student and my
tun,on cost at present doesn't exactly
parallel the quality of education offered
here I don't feel it is fair to expect me to
pay such a high sum for a t nion that
doesn't seem to be necessary I would gladly
pay the tuition if. for instance the money
was going into bettering the library ,
On your information sheet you indicated
the facilities that would be offered The only
one I would consider really necessary is the
proposed movie theater. Granted, we now
have Wright, but the sound lecouatici are
lousy. Why not either build simply a theater
or fix Wright.
The only thing I have seen that is really
needed is a new jiudent Book Store. The
reason, obviously, is because of the crowding
that occurs on the first three days of classes.
However I believe this situation could be
alleviated by having the books needed lor a
course being posted before the class actually
starts If they were posted at the end of the
quarter prior to the one in which they were
needed, students wouldn't have to
spend three days of pushing and shoving
The Forum
and infinitely long lines to get their hooks.
Please think about what I have said and
remember that we are not all apathetic. Take
me seriously because I am taking this whole
affair very senously I do think that my
views represent the views of a segment of
students, no matter how small. You shoud
also keep in mind that with the rising
tuition, more out-of-state students are
leaving. Without their money your new
Union, if built, will never get paid for.
Sincerely,
K. Altie Hodson

Explains need
To Fountainhead:
I am writing in reply to the letter from
Richard Cox printed in the February 3rd
issue of Fountainhead. In that letter Mr. Cox
expressed his frustration with the foreign
language requirement for the B.A. degree,
particularly with his own French class.
In his letter Mr. Cox calls the requirement
"useless but he makes no attempt to
support this blanket condemnation other
than to give a highly biased description of
his own French class. First, he says that the
class is not very "stimulating
Apparently he expects every course to be
designed for his entertainment. A person
cannot expect to derive any benefit from a
language class if he is waiting 'Ji he amused.
Secondly, Mr. Cox complains of homework
which is "nightly and tedious
How can anyone hope to learn a foreign
language without regular and intensive study
outside of the classroom Things which can
only be touched upon in class will soon slip
away without homework to reinforce them
I think that Mr. Cox is less concerned
with the relevancy of foreign languages than
with his own difficulties with French.
Mr. Cox is merely rationalizing when he
says foreign language study is useless.
Actually the benefits of a knowledge of a
foreign language are great.
Mr. Cox indicates that he does not think
a foreign language necessary for insights
about other peoples and their cultures, but I
think he will decide otherwise if he ever
deals directly with a foreign people.
Knowlege of one or more foreign
languages is a mark of an educated person.
This idea is not the invention of some
French teacher to enhance his own prestige;
it has been true since the Middle Ages.
Furthermore, no matter what your field of
pursuit, a great deal of relevant material will
be obtainable only in a foreign language.
Jonathan B. Keathley
Questions attack
To Fountainhead:
My letter is in reference to the
controversy concerning the campus infirmary.
I have just finished listening to Dr.
Monroe, on the six o'clock news, telling
people that the students of this University
are not justified in our attack on the services
which the infirmary provides.
I think Dr Monroe should go over to the
infirmary some morning and imagine what it
would be like to be really ill. while he is
waiting and waiting and waiting to see a
doctor.
The infirmary at ECU is totally inadequate
and since Dr. Monroe wants the entire issue
dropped, I would also say that they are
Wft3�:�sx:
WKHWiuwtttnn r n nn nnn r nn firupineju p y. y y 31 jo :to jX'C-ww-jao'ff
unresponsive to student criticism.
Dr. Monroe also said that the Infirmary
was not a hospital and that the infirmary
could not act as such. I agree with this
statement completely
However, the student pay fees every
quarter for medical care and I think that we
should at least be seen by a competent and
well-staffed infirmary instead of the pass out
aspirin and shoot penicillin menagerie that
now exists. I fail to believe that this
constitutes medical care.
One final thought strikes me. Perhaps ECU
should re-examine their priorities. Maybe
then when it comes time for the ground
breaking this month instead of a new and
unnecessary Student Union there will be a
modern Infirmary in FCU's future. Think
about it.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Greczyn, Jr.
Comments on play
To Fountainhead:
In response to the persistent rumor, I wish
to deny absolutely that the cur nt
production of "Much Ado About Nothing" is
based in any way on the activities of the
History Department's Curriculum Committee
As before. "Much Ado About Nothing"
continues to be Shakespearean in content
Name Withheld
Ads displease
To Fountainhead:
It appears from your advertisements that
the only way Fountainhead can survive
financially is by having cheap abortion ads in
every edition.
The one that claims to have limousine
service has to be a joke, but I suppose that
some people actually take them seriously.
How this newspaper can deplore the
killing of babies in Vietnam, and at the same
time encourage mothers to "get rid of their
children before they are born is beyond my
understanding. I thought that Fountainhead
to be enlightened and concerned with the
cruelties of life. I guess all of that was
superficial jargon.
Personally, I believe a mother should be
able to abort a pregnancy, if that is what
she desires. However, to persuade a woman
to have an abortion by making it appear to
be convenient and inexpensive represents a
gross insensitivity toward life.
You would be doing the world and
yourself a favor if you would start using a
little discretion in what you print.
Sincerely,
David Harrington
