Union reveals Outdoor Concert plans Students get voice in hiring
Member of the Student Union
Popular Entertainment Committee have
been working for the past two weeks on
the idea of bringing an outdoor concert
of a major type" to East Carolina within
the next year.
According to Wayne Sullivan,
president of the Popular Kntertainment
Committee, the concert, if and when all
problems could he worked out, would be
held in Kicklen Stadium. It would be a
mu It i entertainment show, consisting of
a headliner group and two or three other
groups.
Original discussion centered on the
possibility of having the cor ert this
spring quarter, but because ol the time
factor involved, it now seems impossible
that all the proper arrangements could
be made in time, says Sullivan. However,
the committee has not abandoned the
idea of the outdoor concert.
"The biggest problem we have
encountered about the concert is the
time says Sullivan. "If we could have
started planning in the fall, we could
really have been set for this spring, but
we need at least 5 or 6 months to
arrange something like this
Sullivan cited several problems that the
Pop Committee would have to resolve in
order to hold the event. "We are gon g to
need a certain amount of "public"
attendance to make the concert
financially sucessful he said. "Also, we
would need as many or more policeman
at the concert as at a football game. Plus
we would have to double the number of
ushers now used at our concerts
The Student Union has a stage at its
disposal to use for the outdoor affair,
but they would also need a tent to cover
the groups. Minges Colisuem would have
to serve as the dressing rooms for the
groups, and the Union would have to
provide car rentals for the entertainers
"We would also have to have a doctor
and two or three nurses on hand added
Sullivan.
The cost of wiring and cleanup would
add to the expense, giving the concert a
larger "total production cost than the
regular concert in Minges
Sullivan emphasized that his
committee is not pe limistic about the
idea of an outdoor concert, however
"We're not taking a negative approach
he sas. The committee are working as
hard as they can to bring this about in
the future, if not this year
Fountainhead gets editor
Bo Perkins, former Fountainhead news
editor, was elected editor-in-chief of the
publication at Wednesday night's Pub
Board meeting. Perkins' editorship will
extend through Spring Quarter, when
the 1973-7-1 editor is chosen.
Perkins, who has worked with
Fountainhead for eight quarters,
explained his objectives for the
newspaper.
"I've spent a great deal of time trying
to make Fountainhead into a
Student aids Watergate plan
for college honors credit
(CPS) A Brigham Young University
student, whose honors-program research
project was revealed in the Watergate
trial to be political espionage, may face
university discipline "including
suspension or expulsion
Thomas James Uregory, 25, the
prosecution's first major witness in the
Washington, D.C. trial, testified January
12 that he had been recruited last spring
by former White House aide E. Howard
Hunt to work as a GOP undercover agent
in the Washington headquarters of
Democratic Prsidential candidates
Edmund Muskie and George McGovern.
Gregory said he met Hunt, using the
name "Ed" or "Earl Warren' at least
once a week where they exchanged
"pre-typed" reports for envelopes
containing the -SI 75 weekly salary
promised Gregory. Hunt requested
additional intelligence of the Democratic
Presidential campaigns including a
detailed floor plan of McGovern's
headquarters.
Gregory, a history student, was to have
received 16 credits as independent study
for his participation in the Democratic-
Presidential campaigns and for a term
paper about his experiences.
"But if all this is true, then he won't
get any credits said Dr. J. Keith
Melville, a BYU professor and Gregory's
faculty advisor. At least he won't get any
from me. He was supposed to be
working for the Democrats, not against
them.
Without the 16 credits, Gregory may
not be able to graduate in April as he
had planned. He may also face
suspension or expulsion from the
university for "violation of a principle of
the code of honor according to Dallin
H. Oaks, president of BYU. "1 am

official had any knowledge of the alleged

News of Gregory's involvement in the
alleged hugging and burglary incident has
created a stir at the private mormon
school in Provo, Utah. It was the major
story on the university newspaper's front
page, and according to some students.
widely discussed on campus.
X-ray amplifier laser to
have numerous applications
Dr. Richard A. McCorkle of the ECU
Physics Department has reported a
method for amplifying x-rays in the soft
regions of the x-ray spectrum by
stimulated x-ray emission.
The device involved is called an x-ray
amplifier. Once actually built, the
amplifier will be incorporated into an
x-ray laser. The laser, in turn, would
have numerous applications in research,
medicine, and warfare, according to
McCorkle.
One use would be holography on the
molecular level. This procedure provides
three-dimensional photographs of a given
subject. Molecules such as DNA could be
examined in much greater detail than is
now possible.
Medical applications of the laser
should include cancer therapy. The beam
could be focused upon cancer cells and
destroy them without damaging healthy
I tissue. Conventional lasers are now being
, used for such purposes.
Military uses of the x-ray laser are also
conceivable. McCorkle noted, for
I example, that possibly they could be
I used to trigger incoming warheads. For
I this particular application, however, the
problem of atmospheric absorption of

states at the point where the
bombardment begins could be
coherently amplified as it passed down
the length of the foil and encountered
the inverted populations left by the ion
beam. Proper combinations of the
elements in the ion beam and the foil
could produce different wavelengths
Significant recognition has come to
McCorkle as a result of his achievment.
In November 1972, he presented an
invited paper at a Laser Symposium in
Key Largo, Florida sponsored by the
University of Arizona. Several invitations
to governmental and industrial
laboratories have resulted in consulting
arrangements with these groups for the
purpose of pursuing laboratory
experiments toward achieving lasing
action in the soft x-ray region. In
particular, an effort at Lawrence
Livermore laboratories, with the
explicit interest of Edward Teller,
appears underway. In April, McCorkle
will speak by invitation to the American
Physics Society in Washington, D. C. due
to recognition of his work by Arthur
Schalow, co-inventor of the laser. His
publication appeared in the 8 October
issue of PHYSICAL REVIEW
LETTERS, accounts of which were
carried in SCIENCE NEWS and the NEW
YORK TIMES.
During the summer of 1973, McCorkle
will be attempting to construct a laser
incorporating his design. This work will
be conducted at IBM's Thomas J.
Watson Laboratories in Yorktown
Heights, New York. He is joined in this
effort by John Arrong, director of
the quantum electronic, group. Rod
Hodgson, Charles Zaro in, and Peter
Sorokin. This group h s an impressive
history in laser work their

Future Fountainhead plans include an
issue analysis of the SGA elections and
an increase in interpretive or in-depth
reporting.
Also competing for the editorship at
Wednesday's meeting were Mike
Edwards, Fountainhead circulation
manager, and Mick Godwin, business
manager.

Blacks get needed attention: Scott
By BRENDAPUGh
Ma" Writer
In dealing with sociology. Dr. William
Scott is concerned with the problems of
institutionalized racism, health services
and education. "The three he said,
"are hard to separate
A member of the President's Advisory
Council, and Chairman of Sociology and
Social Services at NC Agricultural and
Technical University. Dr. Scott spoke to
students of the importance of sociology
in solving these problems.
"In institution racism continued
Scott, "the majority group sets the
standards to determine right or wrong,
good and had, ugly and beautiful. This
has a negative impact on all the
non-white groups. F'or example he
added, "is it true blondes have more
fun?Moreover, scores on college board
examinations are very important. Yet
the form of the questions and the norms
ignore the Black experience
The native Texan's interest in
sociology and social services began as a
result of personal experiences. "When I
was younger he began, "I became
sensitive to the differences in people.
Then as a musician I did a lot of
travelling and observed the variety in
people. I became a people watcher. Whe

social services seemed to fit
Scott, a black, is extremely concerned
in the area of health for the black
minorities. Millions of black people are
afflicted with the ethnic-oriented disease
of sickle-cell anemia. Many blacks have
serious health problems. However, many
of the people in the field are white
Therefore, black people get Utth of the
needed attention
Education, Scott feels, is the bridge
over the two pressing problems of racism
and health care. Sociology hasn 't
changed much according to Scott who
feels that the acedemic discipline will
provide understanding of the problems
plaguing society. "Social services said
Scott, "has experienced progress in
better training Training at the bachelor's
level now provides workers for the
mental health field as well as for
hospitals, schools, and courts
Scott discussed the private interests of
the Welfare program. 'Welfare is giving
tax dollars to private interests such as
business administration, fathers or
dependent mothers Scott expressed a
belief that it works "better for those
getting larger sums such is subsidies to
airlines and industries than for those
getting smaller sums such as AFDC (Aid

is to bring black educator's in sociology
and rehabihtational services into federal
offices to gain knowledge about the
development. funding and future
programs on the federal level " The
initial theory behind this effective
internship is better preparation through
national level knowledge.
Scott also evaluated ECV's

Dr. Cesare Emihani. University of
Miami Geology Professor, says there's
another Ice Age coming and it may be
just around the corner. By examining
cores of sediment from the sea bottom.
Dr. Emiliam was able to determine that
periods of freezing in the earth's history
came much more frequently than science
had estimated, and the intervening
periods of warmth were much shorter.
The February issue of SCIENCE
DIGEST reports that Dr. Emihani and
other global chmatologists determined
the next Ice Age may come in a few
thousand years, but are concerned that
man's disruptive effect on the
environment could cause one to develop
about two hundred years from now.
Honor code constitutionality under dispute
(CPS) - After seven months the
controversy over the constitutionality of
the honor code at Mary Washington
College in Fredencksburg, Virginia still
rages, and the student who initiated legal
action against the school is still
struggling to gain court-ordered
read mission.
At mid-semester of the 1971 72 school
year, the student-run honor council
expelled a fellow-student, finding her
guilty of an alleged on-campus theft.
Immediately, the ex-student initiated
legal action against the college,
requesting immediate readmission. Ralph
Buxton, attorney for the ex-student,
argued that her constitutional rights
under the 14th amendment had been
violated by her dismissal, and that a state
institution has no legal authority to
delegate powers of absolute dismissal to
a student-run honor council.
Although a federal district judge
denied immediate readmission. he
expressed his feelings that the ex-student
had "a very strong case setting a
hearing on the merits of the case for late
February.
Attorneys for Mary Washington
College denied that the ex-student's
constitutional rights had been violated
by her dismissal, and campus-related
organizations such as the Board of
Visitors' vowed "to defend
vigorouslythe honor system and the
college and to appeal an adverse
decision "so far as is possible
With all the markings of a full-scale
battle developing. MWC officials
suddenly and without explanation,
"offered to readmit the plaintiff, to
expunge all references to her honor
conviction from her record and to allow
her to make up those exams she was to
take December, 1971
The Board then argued that since the
plaintiff had been offered what she had
been seeking, there remained no issue for
a court to decide, therefore requesting
the court to dismiss all action against the
college.
MWC officials refused to comment on
the sudden change in attitude toward
readmission of the ex-student, but
sources close to the college stated that
school attorneys "eared the court
decision would be adverse to the c A
representative from the Virginia
Attorney General's office commented
that the decision to readmit the
ex-student was "the best course of
action to follow at the time
A federal district judge dismissed the
case, but attorneys for the ex-student
stated that dropping the suit still left
unresolved an honor council's right of
dismissal.
Later. Buxton announced that he
would appeal the decision to drop the
case "We are still maintaining our
opposition he stated, concerning the
principle involved in the authority of the
honor council to dismiss students.
Buxton explained that the ex-student
still objects to signing a required honor
pledge and, upon her readmittance, she
will refuse to sign it.
A federal district judge then granted
Buxton's motion to reopen the case, and
college officials subsequently rescinded
their offer to readmit the ex-student.
The judge stated that one issue in the
case remains unresolved. "That issue
he explained, "is whether by being
required to acl nowledge commitment to
the honor code as a condition of
admission and graduation, the plaintiff is
being subjected to an unconstitutional
deprivation of rights

Pessimistic publicity concerning the
nation's job market has stricken the
average college student with fears about
his future job prospects.
Placement Director Furney K James
wants to dispel this mth and encourage
campus students to take advantage of
what is actually anexpandedjob market.
James nyg this publicity has caused
many students to be slow in seeking

James says
SUPPLY AND DEMAND MATCH
Supply of students seeking jobs and
demand of prospective employers are
beginning to match each other. SmaJler
companies are beginning to hire college
graduates Larger companies are
searching for more graduates. James

Great Shift
Market
in
"There has been a great shift from the
type of positions being offered to the
graduate. At one time, teaching positions
were at the top of the list in positions
being offered, but now with our School
of Business developed, we find ourselves
receiving more business and industrial
openings than teaching positions James
noted.
Students registered with the service
last year numbered 1.387, 987 of whom
were seniors Of those seniors, only 90
are still unempolyed.
GIVES SERVICE FREE
The placement service is a free service
offered by the college Seniors receive
most of the services, however, juniors
receive occasional help in finding jobs.
Once registered with the placement
office, a student has the services of the
campus placement service wherever he
goes. In this way. a student may move
from one part of the country to another
and still receive placement services in the
new area
Business and education majors are in
greatest demand at present, according to
James Accountants and salesmen are
most sought in the business field.
Industrial arts, elementary education and
physical education graduates have
excellent job possibilities in the
education field.
REFUSE JOBS
"Most had job offers, hut they refused
to move to the job area. It's not like
they didn't have an opportunity for a
job-they just didn't like what was
offered says James
The remaining seniors in the 2.000
plus class either had jobs awaiting them
or just neglected to register with the
service.
Approximately 500 seniors are
registered now. but the number will
more than double in the next few-
months, according to James.
James urges seniors to apply
immediately at the Placement Office,
located between North Cafeteria and
Greene Dormitory, to register for job

Trackmen prepare for the spring
(Second o a series I
If Saturday's indoor win
over Carolina was an
indication of things to
come, the Pirate outdoor
track team could very well
be one of the best in the
school's history.
In fact, if some breaks
go in the direction of
coach Bill Carson and his
troops, perennial power
William and Mary might
just have its hands full
trying to stay in the
picture.
This has been the trend
of thinking in the Pirate
camp since October when
Carson was looking out of
the fog of a dismal cross
country season but toward
the possibility of
overtaking the Indians in
April.
If the Pirates are to
realize such a high goal,
though, the strong field
events performers must
hope for some support
from their teammates in
the running events.
Carson has long felt that
his Pirates are the
strongest team in the
conference when it comes

games this week with the

Chowan College comes
in to Memorial Gym
tonight at 7 for a varsity
and also a jayvee game.
However, the biggest game
of the season will be
played here Saturday at 11
a.m. as the girls take on
Western Carolina.
The girls won their fifth
straight game Monday
night by reeling off to as
much as a 29-point lead
enroute to a 64-38 win
over hapless Atlantic
Christian College.
ACC's visitors found it
impossible to stop the East
Carolina running game as
EC turned in 11 successful
fast breaks. Lorraine
Rollins was the high scorer
for EC as she scored 11
points, including four of
her seven field goal
attempts.
Sophomore Sheilah
Gotten, freshman Susan
James and senior P. J.
Taylor added nine, nine
and eight points,
respectively, to the
triumph.
In the junior varsity
game that evening, East
Carolina was victorious,
46-32. Freshman Ginny
Deese led the scoring for
the victors as she hit 12
points on six of eight
shots.
The season opened with
a big ECU win over
Campbell College, 58-43.
ECU's girls hit 45 per
cent of their shots and
Cotten was the team's top
scorer with 18 pomts.
James followed in the
scoring column with 10.
Against State, the girls
found it just as easy as
they bombed out to a
32-20 lead at the half. The
final count was 70-51 as
East Carolina continued
the hot shooting ways.

Open crr concerf perhaps
best idea in many years
rhe idea of conducting an outdoor
concerl in Ficklen Stadium is probably
one of the besl ever proposed by out
Popular Entertainment Committee
1 �'NMt� the multiple problems the even!
could incur, students would
undoubtedlj appreciate a concerl free
from worrj over cigarette burns, floor
damage from foot-stomping, and poor
seal ing facilit ies
rhe moM pleasing benefit to be
derived from an outdoor concert would
be the relaxed atmosphere .lust think of
it-freedom to move from one place to
another without fear of losing a good
vantage point
Students could actually smoke a
cigarette without missing pan of the act,
If a person feels thirsty, he could bring a
coke to his "seat" without being asked
to leave by the ushers When the spirit
strikes, instead of suppressing all of the
penl up desires to move around and
scream a bit. students could do just that.
Sometimes the Pop Committee
wonders when they spend a lot of the
student's money to bring a popular
group to either Minges or Wright why
neither are ever filled to capacity. One
reason is that some students feel it too
much nf a hassle to abide by the
"hospit hke waiting room
atmosphere" of either Minges or Wright
Since most groups play several concert
dates in the same area, these students
feel it is worth the drive to Raleigh or
Durham in order to appreciate the
music.
One certain advantage of holding a
concert outdoors would be the listening
quality of the music. Admittedly.
Ficklen Stadium would not be the ideal
spot if you are a fanatic about pure
sound quality. But neither is Carnegie
Hall, not to mention the galvanized
acoustics found in Minges or Wright.
Besides, it' you're that much concerned
about audio ectasy, you'll go out and
buy an expensive stereo system, and
listen to your favorite albums in the
privacy of our own abode.
Unlike rthet universities m the state.
ECU has ,i neurosis about giving a
concert unless 90 per cent of the
ticket holders are full-time students.
If by holding a com ert at which
outsiders will be supplying a large part of
the revenue will allow the Pop
Committee to bring a bigger, better
group, then they will certainly be aiding
the ECU students in the long-run
It is hoped that the Administration
will concede the fact that students at
East Carolina are adults, and will not
probably be rushing the fences of
Ficklen so they can get inside free and
sell "Devil's weed" to unsuspecting
freshmen Whether the concert comes
about this spring or next year is not the
point at hand. A vote of "no" by the
Administration would tool future plans
for outdoor concerts for years to come.
Holding a concert in either Minges or
Wright is like going to a fine restaurant,
ordering a steak, and going out to the car
to eat it. It stil may be a good steak, but
for some reason, you just can't enjoy it
as well.

No cure yet found for common cold
THE DOCTOR'S BAG
by Arnold Werner, M.D.
Each winter a good share of normal,
healthy and reasonable people get colds,
sore throats and coughs. Many of these
people go to unreasonable lengths to
combat a basically harmless illness,
making it clear that some information
about this common condition is needed.
In checking out some facts for this
article, I visited a drug store to see what
"cures" were available. After half an
hour in the long aisle marked "Cold
Remedies" I had barely covered the
products stocked, when I fled the
emporium with a case of nausea and
headache. The array of stuff included
combinations that would do a shaman
proud. I was particularly impressed with
Nyquil which contained something for
everything, all dissolved in 2.Y, alcohol
with its own shot glass. That's r.o proof
booze, no wonder it helps you sleep!
Good bourbon or Scotch whiskey, more
than 80 proof, is cheaper and has less
potential for harm. Useful preparations
are to be found; avoid combination
preparations by purchasing the product
containing the specific ingredient you
need, at the lowest price. Non
prescription ingredients are
recommended in the following
paragraphs.
Run-of-the-mill upper respiratory
infections (I'RI's or cold8) are produced
by viruses and characterized by any or
all of the following symptoms: runny
nose, stuffed nose, sneezing, mild fever
(under 101 Ft. mild sore throat, mild
cough, hoarseness, and malaise (feeling
lousy). The ailment is basically self
limited and visiting a physician for a UR1
is generally a waste of time, except in
certain circumstances to be elaborated
"Flu" (influenza) is a viral respiratory
illness producing some of the above
symptoms plus generalized symptom
which can include nausea, vomiting, high
fever, and muscle aches. Flu symptoms
are generally more severe, but the illness
is also self limited in the healthy adult.
Since recovery is spontaneous in both,
the goal of treatment is to keep
comfortable.
Washington Merry�go�Round
Aarmed over drug addiction.
Army creates own narc squad
Ira I Maker, dvisoi
By JACK ANDERSON
The Army, alarmed over the sudden
rise in drug addiction among troops in
Europe, has adopted stringent measures
to catch drug users and pushers.
But the new measures, in turn, have
alarmed civil rights lawyers who fear
many innocent soldiers may be caught in
the antidrug dragnet.
We have uncovered one document, for
instance, which was issued last month by-
Gen. Anthony Daskevich in Stuttgart.
Germany. He recommended that
commanders develop informers and
reward them for information. The
general also suggested volunteer
undercover patrols to be established to
follow up on thy informers' tips.
"Cars entering the post will be
checked and searched at
rand om . Volunteers will search
buildingsstem to stern The general
urged his unit commanders to conduct
frequent shakedown inspections and to
bust pushers and users to the lowest rank
as soon as evidence is available.
To handle known drug users, the
general recommended the removal of the
suspect's pass privileges, his driver's
license, his civilian clothes, even the key
to his room. If the suspect is married,
wrote Daskevich, "he should be required
to move into the barracks where he can
be watched
Such measures, the general insists,
pose no threat to innocent soldiers. But
civil liberties lawyers charge that
innocent soldiers have already been hurt
by some of the extreme methods used to
catch the guilty.
DOUBLE DIPPERS
For years, we have criticized retired
officers for double dipping from the
federal treasury. The practice began
nearly a decade ago when Congress
passed the Dual Compensation Act.
Thanks to this law, more than 78,000
retired military personnel today collect
part of their pension and draw civil
service pay at the same time
Double dipping has helped create a
military spoils system, which encourages
rigged recruitment, preferential
treatment, unfair hiring and promotional
practices.
Retired militarymen frequently alert
friends about to retire of job openings in
the federal government. In some cases,
jobs have been held open for months
awaiting the retirement of ranking
military officers. In other instances, new
jobs have been treated solely to fit the
needs of retiring officers.
ANDERSON
But among the worst abusers of the
law are some 70 flag officers now
working in the civilian government.
Some of them collect more than
$50,000 a year from their combined
military retirement and civilian pay.
The juiciest double-dipping deal we
have come across involves retired
four-star Air Force (Jen Jacob Smart.
who is now an administrator at the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration. He collects around
$58,000 a year, including more than
$22,000 in retirement benefits.
Other double-dippers include Lt.
General Alfred Starbird. now a civilian at
the Pentagon, Lt. Gen. Ben Davis, now
at Transportation and Brig. Gen. Frank
Elliot at Agriculture.
One general is so overpaid, he
voluntarily has cut his own salary by
$14,000 a year. He is Gen. Jackson
Graham, now chief of the Washington
area Metro Authority, who accepts less
than $.38,000 of his authorized $52,000
salary. With $17,000 a year in retirement
