ECU requires languages
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
Many students at ECU are required to
take a foreign language sequence to
satisfy requirement! for their majors. Dr.
Richard I. Cap well, Dean of the College
of Arts and S u-nces, recently discussed
the foreign language requirement.
A foreign language is required for a
B A degree anil only some B.S. degrees.
Capwell explained the reason for this
"The B.A. degree is a liberal arts degree,
not a professional degree he said. "In
the opinion of the faculty the liberal arts
student should have some knowledge in
certain fields
Capwell said that, for example, the
student should have some knowledge of
English; therefore he is required to take
a certain amount of English
"The educated person, a
knowledgeable liberal arts graduate,
should have a knowledge of a foreign
language said Capwell.
The requirements are determined by
the whole faculty, according to C'apwell.
"It's not an administrative decision he
said. "A department can make a request
which has to go through various
committees and the faculty as a whole
approves or disapproves
The reason some B.S. degrees require a
foreign language was explained by
Capwell, "Some departments feel that a
foreign language is so close to the work
of the department that some knowledge
is so required
He gave as an example the English
department that requires a foreign
language for a B.S. degree.
"Here you are dealing with a
language he said, "and it helps to
understand another language
Another example he cited was the
geography department. "Geographers
deal with all parts of the world and the
geography department recognizes the
value of a foreign language
The foreign language requirement has
been a "stable policy" here at ECU
according to Capwell. No department
has dropped the requirement.
In the revision of the general education
requirements a few years ago part of the
foreign language requirement was
dropped. The foreign language
requirement was on a level with a

-FUTURISTIC FILM OF SILENT
ERA-METROPOLIS is director Fritz
Lang's famous, expressionistic vision of a
struggle between management and labor
in a city of the future. In the picture
Freder, son of the exploitative
industrialist who controls Metropolis,
rebels against his father and joins the
workers He soon falls under the
influence of Maria, a comforter of the
oppressed Maria tells the downtrodden
workers that a mediator between capital
and labor will soon intervene on their
behalf. Freder's father, feeling
threatened by this doctrine, orders the
creation of a robot who will resemble
Maria but will preach an opposite
doctrine The robot incites he workers
to riot, and the industrialist has the
pretext to try to crush their rebellious
spirit. Critics call this film of 1927 "a
classic and ?'cinematically an
incomparable achievement It is a silent
film (no problems with Wright's
acoustics, therefore) with English

-MUSICAL BASED ON IRA-Jokes
about Ireland are scarce in this time of
political upheavals-especially jokes
about the I.R.A. Only an Irish rascal
could write a musical play devoted to
the subject.
The playwright is Brendan Behan, and
the play is THE HOSTAGE which the
East Carolina Playhouse is presenting
March 28-31 in McGinnis Auditorium.
THE HOSTAGE is set in a disreputable
Dublin lodging house, where a young
Cockney soldier is being held as hostage
in reprisal for an I.R.A. man who is to De
hanged. The play is a witty and
profound comment on Anglo-Irish
relations and the Irish themselves, full of
rollicking comedy, satirical songs, and
ballads. Playing Wednesday through
Saturday (March 28-31) in McGinnis
Auditorium, performances will begin
promptly at 8:15. Reserved seat tickets
are $2.00 and can be purchased at the
McGinnis box office beginning March

literature course, the requirement is now
the 1-4 sequence course.
"The elementary sequence Capwell
explained, "dealt with learning the
language as a language. The student
could and would get elsewhere the
training and knowledge that comes from
taking a literature course "
Capwell said he does not expect any
change in the foreign language
requirement. 'There is always a
possibility of change he said, "but
because there is doesn't mean I
anticipate a change
Sometimes the requirement or no
requirement of a foreign language is
instrumental in a student's decision of a
major. Capwell commented, "I wouldn't
say this happens a lot. From time to
time a student says he wants to switch
degrees or major because of the
requirement but I don't think this is
terribly widespread
The School of Business doesn't require
a foreign language. Assistant Dean
Charles L. Broome said that although
there is no foreign language requirement,
he feels that mathematics is a foreign
language.
"If I spoke no foreign language and
someone who spoke no English tried to
communicate with me he said, "we
could communicate through the use of
mathematics
Board opens

rs race
The Publications Board finalized plans
for the election of next year's
Fountainhead, Rebel and Buccanneer
editors at its meeting March 21.
Applications for the positions in
question will be accepted Monday,
March 26 through April 9. Actual
screening of aj plicante will be held April
11 or 12.
Chairman Kathy Hoiloman noted that
the above time schedule would allow the
new editors a month of orientation
before they assumed their duties. At the
same time, final exams would not be
interrupted.
Bo Perkins, Fountainhead
editor-in-chief, questioned the inclusion
of endorsement letters in the paper
during thus year's SGA elections. Perkins
described the letters as "generally trite
and useless. They take up a lot of
room he said.
Perkins noted that such letters in the
issue immediately preceding elections
did not allow rebuttal, and suggested
that the paper analyze issues rather than
candidates. Press conferences and
debates were also suggested.
Bob McKeel, chairman of elections,
objected to the suggestions on the
ground that Fountainhead is the
most-widely used medium during
elections. The Board left decision on the
matter to Perkins' discretion.
Also approved at the meeting were
guidelines for Fountainhead positions
and the staff list for the paper.
In other business, a Rebel budget of
$5,602 was approved for Spring Quarter.
Editor Sandy Penfield submitted the
name of Tom Hawkins as Managing

WRC joins convention
Two officers of the Women's
Residence Council will represent ECU at
the convention of the Intercollegiate
Association of Women Students to be
held March 28 through April 1.
Shirley Blandino, WRC President, and
Becky Eure, First Vice-President, will
attend the five-day convention, to be
held in Harnsburg, Pa.
"The WRC became a member of the
1AWS this past September said
Blandino. "We really don't know much
about the operation of the IAWS at
individual schools - we're attending the
convention primarily to learn what's
going on in the organization. "
According to information sent out by
the IAWS. the organization has three
main beliefs.
"Higher education of women requires
the existence of a special organization to
meet their unique educational needs
says IAWS. Second, "women must
identify, explore, develop and utilize
their individuality
Third, women "should fulfill their
roles as educated and competent persons
throughout their lives
"We want to learn more about the
IAWS so we can really get it established
here on campus said Eure. "The
difference between the WRC and this
group is that the WRC represents only
women students living on campus.
"The IAWS would represent
everyone she added, "women
students in sorority houses, off campus,
all women attending ECU
Among the speakers at the upcoming
convention is Bella Abzug, member of
the U.S. House of Representatives.
Wilma Scott Heide, National Pr ident of
the National Organization for Women
(NOW), will speak on "Alternative
Lifestyles" Included in this area will be
panel discussions on homosexuality.
marriage and careers, and single women
in career development.
Feminist lecturer Sheila Tobias of
Wesley an University, Lupe Anguiano of
La Raza Unida and Dr. Bernice Sandier
of the Association of Amercian Colleges
will also be present at the convention.
The IAWS has attempted to cover
nearly every phase of woman's role in
planning its convention. The Chicano
woman, Indian awareness, women's
athletics, child care and campus health
services are only a few of the areas to be
covered.
What ideas do the WRC representatives
hope to bring hack?
"Right now said Blandino, "we just
want to find out what 's going on in the
IAWS and how we can make it work
here.
"We'll have to start from there
Local boards take new roles,
volunteers to replace draft
"Even though draft calls have ended,
young men in our state will still have
responsibilities under the law. The
Selective Service local boards will
continue to function William
McCachren, North Carolina State
Director of Selective Servu e, announced
McCachren said that the Selective
Serviii Act will still require young men
to register at age 18 and that local draft
boards will continue to process some of
these young men in order to have a
"readily available pool" in the 'vent of a
national emergency McCachren added
that this standby role for Selective
Service becomes effective without the
requirement of any new legislative action
by Congress.
The State Director said the new role
for Selective Service would result in a
reduced level of operation across the
country. The current year's budget for
the System on a national basis would be
curtailed by as much as 34 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year, McCachren
indicated
Mrs. Selma W. Rogers, executive
secretary at Greenville's Ixu-al Board No.
75, said, "The local boards in this state
have the power to induct men until July
1, 1973, but we have been instructed to
induct no one this year The last group
induction stated Rogers, "was
conducted in De 1972
Roger Itated further het all men now
registering with the draft boards will be
classified "1 H which is a hold
classification. No more 1-A
classifications will be given after July 1.
Rogers said.
Rogers went on to say that all present
Local Boards will now be combined into
fewer and larger area boards Men will
still be able to register locally, but any
major processing will be handled by the
new area boards
The volunteer army seems to be
replacing the draft sufficiently in
maintaining needed levels of military
personnel, Rogers said.
Sgt Bill Proctor, local Army recruiter,
said, "We're trying to maintain the same
amount of men goir. into the Army
with the volunteer program as was
maintained by the draft
Recruiting has increased in Greenville
recently, said Proctor. The rise in
enlistments Proctor attributes to
iniTeases in pay Proctor said that at the
end of five months, a recruit under the
combat arms program (artillery, infantry
and armor) receives a $1500 bonus.
Proctor said 60 young men from area
schools have already committed
themselves to the Army for after their
graduation in June Enlistments are
highest around Sept. though 95 percent
of those enlisting will join under the
three year program because of the
options offered, Proctor said J

si ? ? Wr .a,
The real problem concerning the death
penalty appears in its use ind not why it
is used
Attitudes of many American citizens
are that the death penalty would be the
best deterent toward .Time According
to Dr. W, C. (Hill 1 Smith of the sot saJ
work and correctional service
department here the death penalty
wxjuld not be the greatest deterent
toward crime
"All behavior is not rational behavior
at all times he stated The distinction
between the two cannot always be
determined Therefore the death penalty
can not rationally be a great deterent to
crime.
Presently, everything concerning the
death penalty is in limbo because of the
Supreme Court ruling The Supreme
Court had ruled that the death penalty
had been used dLscriminatelv Thai is.
the problem with capital punishment is
that it has not been administered
equally.
In Smith's opinion a true deterent
toward crime would take a commitment
of a nation to do something for overall
- cceas.
In an effort to halt crime it is "hard to
say" what would he most beneficial.
Smith remarked Irbanization tends to
be part of the answer to why crime is
increasing. Controls are not as effective
as they are in a less complex society
Also, it is part of a democratic society
which lets people do their own thing.
Smith posed the question as to why
the death penalty was so popular He
said capital punishment was only one
aspect of criminology Working with
minor crimes should be more
emphasized. He noted that over one-half
arrests involve alcohol and are alcohol
related. "Is the real problem those few
or minor crimes he queried
"How does society cope with problems
of criminal behavior? Smith suggested
that other ideas should be brought up.
Criminal justice is mainly state and local
matter. Correctional institutions are
complex The prison system is very old.
Rather than just capital punishment
Smith re-emphasized that we should be
concerned with the overall problem.

I he Wangs now share a book-lined

Department with books of the Victorian
Age on her side and books of the
Romantic Period on his. They enjoy
teaching together and share many
common professional interests. While
sharing so many things in common, they
still have their individual interests and
hobbies, even though some of their
colleagues tend not to think so at times.
Sometimes we seem to lose a little of
our individuality because people regard
us so much as a husband and wife team
Mrs Wang says "This us especially true

students. At club meetings and other

Dr. and Mrs. .lames R. Wnght are
another married teaching couple, but
their ideas are m contrast to Dr. and Mrs
Wang Dr. Wright teaches linguistics in
the Knglish Department. Mrs. Wright
teaches Spanish and Italian in the

University of Madrid In Spain. Marriage
followed completion of Masters degrees
at both Middlebury College and Indiana
University After joining the Peace
Corps, they taught and attended classes
together at the University of the Andes
and the University of Nanno, in
Columbia.
WRIGHTS VARY
"This ls when I decided that we were
Maying too close together all the time "
Dr. Wright smiled. "We would study
together six or seven hours a day then
teach near each other for four or five
hours, and then l.ve with each other the
rest of the time. At this time, we were
both studying Spanish. I decided it

In job searching, the Wrights' problems
were similar to the Wangs-They blamed
these problems, mainly on the nepotism
laws in the various states where they
applied for jobs. (Nepotism laws forbid
state institutions, in some cases, to hire
more than one person in the same
family.)
The Wrights express contentment with
their teaching jobs and enjoy having
separate offices in different departments
because it provides a "healthier"
relationship for them. They feel that
teaching as a man-ied couple is very
fulfilling.
TWO HARMONIZE
Mrs. Wright says: "My husband and I
have many things in common. The
learning experience that we have gone
through has especially enriched us.
Subjects we teach are related and we
both enjoy the cultural knowledge
obtained through traveling, which we
enjoy. The great advantage of being a
married couple is that we have the
opportunity together, to share our
knowledge with our students and
friends
There are also "fringe benefits" of
being a married teaching couple
according to the Wangs and the Wrights:
They only have to drive one car and they
can always eat lunch together! They
agree that this is what being a married
leaching couple is all about.

Girls fall in tourney at NY
TIGHT PRESSURE! ECU senior Jean
Moble (44) applies much pressure on an
Indiana Stale foe Friday. The EC pirls
(Photo by Don Trausneck)
won with one ol their better defenwe
performances of the season.
Bucs upset Cornell
In an effort described by coach Bill
(arson as "the greatest dual meet in East
Carolina history the ECU track team
handed Ivy League champion Cornell a
79-66 setback here Saturday.
It was the first loss of the season for
Cornell, which had beaten N.C. State
and Appalachian earlier this week. East
Carolina is now 3-0 with the Atlantic
Coast Relays scheduled for this
weekend.
Although Cornell won more events
Saturday, the Pirates had superior depth
as Gerald Klas, Charlie Lovelace and
U'Baron Caruthers came up with
personal high performances.
Klas, placing third in the mile, was
timed at 4:11.8. Lovelace won the
220-yard dash in 22.0 seconds while
Caruthers' heave of 50-2'i in the shot
was second best in the meet.
Hoy Quick won the high jump at 6-4
with teammates Bill Bowles and Glenn
Russell tied for second at 6-2.
Larry Malone. Walter Davenport and
Willie Harvey went one-two-three in the
long jump with the winning effort
recorded as 22-11' .?.
Richard McDuffie captured the pole
vault at 14-1.
Davenport, Lawrence Wilkerson and
Malone swept the triple jump for ECU
with Davenport going 49-3.
The EC 440-yard relay team of
Malone, Lovelace, Les Strayhorn and
Gary Tiffany outdistanced Cornell in
42.6 seconds.
Other individual winners for East
Carolina were Ron Smith in the high
hurdles (14.4) and Bill McRee in the
intermediate hurdles (55.2).
Indians beat
ECU stick man
You win a few, lose a few, some get
rained out, and some never should have
been scheduled. The ECU Lacrosse team
found out a few of these truths on
Tuesday afternoon as they were taught a
lesson in Lacrosse from Dartmouth, to
the tune of 21-3.
The Ivy League school jumped off to a
5-0 lead in the first period, and then nine
goals in the final period put the game on
ice.
Larry Hayes, Bill Harrington, and
Andy Stanick put single tallies in the
nets for the Pirates. Jeff Hanson added
two assists.
The Pirate Stickmen are now 1-1 and
they face a very strong UNC team here
at Ficklin Stadium on Sunday afternoon
at 2 p.m.
By DON TRAUSNECK
Special to Fountamh4ua
A dream was shattered for East
Carolina last weekend in New York City.
The women's basketball team, which
had gone further and was ranked higher
than just about any other team in the
school's history, was derailed in its bid
for the National Championship.
Western Washington State College and
Kansas State University played the
villain roles as East Carolina lost two of
three games in the tournament at Queens
College.
Thus, the girls who went into the
tournament 18-0 and ranked eighth in
the nation could not improve upon that
rating. Still they finished 19-2, quite a
respectable final record.
In the first round clash against
Washington, EC was plagued by
turnovers and repeated cold shooting
against a team which had won 21
straight games.
The game was close all the way but
Washington took advantage of several
team fouls against ECU in the final
seconds to record a 55-51 triumph.
Sheilah Cotten led the EC cause with
26 points while Peggy Taylor added
eight points and Susan James
contributed six points and several fine
defensive plays.
Trevisan, Morrow
The loss, their first of the season, sent
the EC girls into the consolation brae kei
against Indiana State.
In that second contest, EC played a
more typical game and raced away in the
final four minutes for a 60-49 win. That
game was also close most of the way as
the teams entered the final quarter tied
at 41-all
But Cotten scored nine of her
game-high 23 points in the final quarter
and East Carolina was not to be denied
for the second straight time
James was also a key figure in the
winning effort as she added 11 points
and 10 rebounds. Jean Mobley scored 10
points.
With a fifth-place finish still possible,
the girls ran into a fired-up Kansas State
squad and were disappointed, 47-46.
Kansas used numerous ECU turnovers
and three fast breaks to ease to a 15-5
first quarter lead. It was then 22-5 and
24-7 before East Carolina finally caught
the spark.
Playing with its usual dedication, the
squad turned in one of the amazing
comebacks of the tournament and
actually pulled in front in the final
moments of the contest.
However Kansas, the eventual
consolation bracket winner, won the
game in the last 30 seconds.
James had a big part in ECU's
second-half rally as she scored 12 of her
team-high 18 points in the last 16
minutes. Cotten, who had seven points
at haJftime, funshed with 12.
Immaculata College of Pennsylvania,
the defending champion, won the
tournament.
Although East Carolina did not wui
the National Championship, the Lady
Pirates proved to be one of the
outstanding teams in the nation. Next
year should be another strong one for
coach Catherine Bolton's squad as only
four seniors appear on the roster.
Gone in 1974 will be Mobley. Becky
Atwood, Taylor and Lorraine Rollins, in
addition to team trainer Peggy Bennett
and statistician Sue Powell
Back to fill their places will be a fine
crop of undergraduates: junior Terry
Ward; sophomores Lollie Edwards, Laura
Kilpatrick, Terry Jones, Myra Modlin
and Ginny Merrifield: and freshmen
Ginny Deese. Nancy Ellington, Carlene
Boyd, Ellen Garrison, Frances Swenholt
and Gale and Marie Chamblee
Lea Kemezis and Sue Calverley, the
team's manager and scorer, respectively,
will also return
And Cotten is just a sophomore while
James is a freshman, which means the
nucleus of a potent squad will be at East
Carolina for at least two more years

ECU's two representatives in 'he
NCAA Swimming and Diving
Championships finished up Saturday,
one winding up his varsity career as a
Pirate.
Junior Jack Morrow, competing in the
three-meter diving event, ended up 20th
out of 60 national qualifiers. Morrow
turned in a very fine performance
according to swimming coach Ray
Scharf.
Senior Paul Trevisan, making his final
appearance in varsity competition, swam
a 47.6 time in the 100-yard freestyle,
breaking the ECU school record,
however his time was not good enough
to qualify for the finals.
"The competition here is fantastic
Scharf said. "We performed well; maybe
we could have done a little better, but it
still is very rugged to get to the finals
here
The ECU Karate Club will travel to
Atlanta Georgia on April 28 to compete
in the 1973 South East United States
Championships. The club earned the
right to compete by winning the State
Championship in the fall and the
Mid-East Championships in Richmond.
Virginia last weekend So far this school
year (starting September) the ECU Club
has won over 100 trophies.
Bill McDonald the Head Instructor of
The Club gave high praise to his assistant
instructors John Roberts, Steve White
and Sam Barger. McDonald also stated
that one of the beginning girls, Vicki
Davenport, a freshman at ECU has
entered two tournaments and won first
place in both of them.
McDonald also praised Ronnie Rowell
a Black Belt in the Club who has also
been a consistant winner.
The club hopes to finish the year by
winning the South East Championships
and setting a world record in total
trophies won in a sinple year by a
College or University Club.

'Liberal education' no longer
requires foreign language
It mcbu that ??wry time the subject of
dropping the foreign language
requirement comes up at ECU somebody
kl always quick to reply that a foreign
language is necessary for a liberal
education Mention is never made as to
the students' desires or academic
necessities, but rather that "one need a
foreign language to receive the benefits
of a liberal education
Hogw3sh!
There once was a time when a foreign
language was indeed not only a mark of
a liberal education, but a dividing line
between college education and
apprenticeship The situation no longer
exists. and neither should the
requirement
Before the onslaught of
technological advances in printing i
mass marketing, the "classics" had to be
read in the original language to reta a
their pure meaning Not any more
a Colonial father was forced to send
SOD to the Old World to receive an
college education whatsoever 1. -
-Tsit.es, steeped in age-old tradition
i sidered the study of Latin or Greek
to be a necessity Probably they
were then
r:me change, however, and along with
tnt-m the priorities in the educational
-vstem Luke it or not, the complexities
of the world today have forced the
student to intensify his studies in his
career field Much like an auto assembly
line, the modern student slowly winds
himself along a four-year journey-
through the educational production line.
There is seldom a student today who can
find the time to fit a "useless course in
his schedule simply because he might
"enjoy" taking it as an elective. One
reason is that here at ECL' a student
must take 20 hours of foreign language.
Also, with the thousands of bachelor
degrees given out each year by the
'lundreds of colleges in this nation, the
pressure is on the student to either go on
to graduate school, or to have fantastic
grades in undergraduate work to prove
his worth. One could fill a Who's Blues
book with the stories of those students
with a 3.0 or better average in all of their
subjects, who are forced to repeat or
aci ept low grades in one or more foreign
language classes. And one can't graduate
without those 20 hours, unless he takes a
math sequence (God forbid).
All of this the conjugations, the verb
tenses the vocabulary, the
micro-scribbling of definitions between
endless hours of Lib

Vsf canrj on i conservation or nad a
?wspaper This is because most students
do not LEARN the foreign languages
they study in college They merely
MEMORIZE the rules and vocabulary
for each test, and pray that the final
exam will be simple.
It would lie hard for the university to
give up the foreign language program
now. It has too many tenured professors
and too much money tied up in
expensive laboratory equipment.
However, if ECU is to maintain a race
for progress, which typlifies so many of
the country's universities today, it must
streamline the requirements for all
degrees. This includes taking another
long look at the foreign language
requirements.
Perhaps Caesar said it best when he
compared the crossing of the Rubicon to
the present general education
requirements at ECU-Aleja jacta est!
REBEL sh.uld not be shackled
with archaic Dixie title
Along with next month's SGA
elections, students will he voting
whether or not to change the name of
East Carolina University's literary
magazine from the "Rebel" to
"Morpheus We hope the name change
passes, and that the referendum will
quiet the long-time dissatisfaction over
the current name
There is a two-fold reason for the
change that current REBEL editor
Phillip Arnngton is proposing. One is the
obvious controversy over the racial
connotations of the woru rebel Many
high schools in North Carolina have been
successful in eradicating the Rebel flag
and the song "Dixie" from athletu-
events. By doing so. they were able to
ease strained tensions between the black
and white student populations.
Troubled?
Another reason is the literal meaning
of the word "rebel A rebel is one who
rebels. This implies that all of the staff
of the literary magazine are "persons
who are rebelling and sets up the
critiera of being a "relel" before any
work can be submitted to the magazine.
This situation is not true of the current
magazine, or any other art forms. One
can be a traditional artist without
resorting to a completely radical art
form to convey a message.
We feel that the current staff of the
literary magazine should not be shackled
and classified with the term "rebel
This would only lead to unfair
stereotyping. As Arnngton says, "the
REBEL is a name that has been
outgrown aesthetically and functionally
Foreign Legion may be answer
If you are a student who isseverelyin
debt, has just been busted and must face
a fore-doomed trial, or face the chances
of paying child support in the near
future, do not give up all hope.
It may be tha the French Foreign
Legion can help you out with some of
your problems. A recent Reuter story
reports that the Legion is so desperate
for men that it has begun sending
recruitment propaganda to Italians.
The letters read if you have family
problems or trouble with the law, the
legion offers a refuge where no identity
papers are asked Pretty good offer if
you need to drop out of sight for awhile.
The Italians have asked the French
Government to put an immediate end to
such practices. The Italians also
complained that the famous legion has
gone to far as to place posters similar to
the letters near Italian frontier posts.

America is going
to see the light
To Fountainhead:
This letter, written partially through
anger and disgust, and partially through
impulse is to show "my" opinion
regarding the amnesty question brought
out by Messrs. Simpson and Stephenson.
The opinion of these men (whom I
would PRESUME are veterans) is what
seems to be as much un-American as
pro-American.
I, too, am proud to be an American. I
find, however, that going to a foreign
soil to fight foreign people is not an act
to prove my Americanism. To prove my
"Vietnamism" YES, to prove my
Americanism. NO. If these foreigners
wish to fight on my soil, I would be
extra happy to oblige them.
Did you, Mr. Simpson, think that
while the long war was on, the VN
people were enjoying the war that the
U.S. was forcing upon them? "Better
dead than red" isn't always on
everyone's mind. Perhaps they wanted
peace with the communists.
Those who "draft-dodged" are just as
fond of their country and family as you,
but they are perhaps a little better at
judging right from wrong.
King Richard MIGHT have the support
of SOME of the American public
(perhaps 50f or more), but he sure as
Hell doesn't have the support for the war
that he had two years ago.
Finally, I'll say that it sickens me for
the "American public" and their
president to give the Vietnamese people
over two and a half billion dollars for
reconstruction, POWs up to one hundred
thousand or more apiece, and not even
allow a couple hundred "draft-dodger"
to return to their native soil.
It may take awhile, but the American
is going to see the light, and realize that
our king isn't always right.
Tony C. Marshall
ECU Mehlem
To Fountainhead:
Besides the normal fiascos which
happen to the students of Haus
Steineck-like the time we missed the
ferry across the English Channel because
nobody read the departure time on our
ticket-we are now being forced to go
against the official rules of East Carolina
University. The 1972-73 edition of the
ECU handbook states that all 3-hour
courses meeting less than three times a
week are to have the exam on the last
day of classes. All the classes this quarter
are three hours or less but we are being
"allowed" to have our exams scheduled
for Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday after classes have ended. And to
top this off, because a few influential
friends of Dr. Indorf are coming in the
middle of May, the students are being
forced to hold commencement exercises
before the beginning x of exams. Dr.
Indorf keeps telling us how flexible the
program is-but only if he wants to
change it for his own use!
The entire time we have been here at
"ECU-Mehlem" we have been
manueuvered by the faculty and
especially Dr. Indorf. If the faculty
wants to go shopping in Essen, they plan
a field trip to Essen so they get free
'ransportation. In order to get himself
into a political discussion at the
headquarters of an international
organization Dr. Indorf told the
organization that we w e all graduate
students in political science. After our
poor display of enthusiasm at the
discussion we were humiliated by our
dear director. I could go on and on, but
it will do me no good now.
I hope the people who have already
signed up for the European Studies
Program will think twk bei re hey
make the first payment. It's not worth
it-unless you like being graded on how
gullible you are
Hoping this will not affect my grades,
John Palmer
Tired of critics
To Fountainhead:
I'm tired of listening to BIG
critics-those who say ECU is SO
bad-they do not take the time to think
that ECU is the way it is because of
people exactly like them.
I hope you are not already offended
and will continue thinking. When
criticizing this school, you are criticizing
yourself to a great extent. If you don't
agree with something, then you should
do something about it-and something
CAN be done.
The only was to begin to help
something is to start.
Look around at the many ways in
which you can express yourself-Gripes
Table at Cafeteria, I WANT TO KNOW
column in Fountainhead, and various
offices in the SGA. There are
administrative people around campus
who will listen and at least explain why
something is the way it is. They might
even listen very carefully to your
criticism or solution-even check out the
problem.
There is hardly any reason for you to
sit back and criticize; there are people
who might comply or compromise. I
know this is true because I have made a
few recommendaUons that have all
worked out.
It is true that everybody has different
ideas on how to do things, but why not
let your ideas count. It is always easy to
find something wrong with anything-Is
such a negative society necessary?
It would be nice if for every critical or
negative word spoken, we could
conteract it with something positive.
Have you ever thought about how few
words you would speak if all critical
things were blotted out?
Thoughtfully,
A Concerned Person
Try-outs can prove
sports fans'concern
To Fountainhead:
Recently there was an article in this
paper by our "concerned sports fan"
judging the performance of our
cheerleaders. As expected, 1 returned a
reply emphasizing the amount of time
and reasons for the performance of my
fellow cheerleaders.
Now is the time for our fans to really
express themselves by trying out for the
varsity squad. There was a meeting
Tuesday of prospective cheerleaders, but
there weren't very many students
present. If our fans are so concerned
why don't they join us in our try-outs.
So fellow "concerned sports fans" let's
try out for the squad and make next
year's squad the best ECU has ever seen.
Sincerely yours,
Norns S. Hoi Iowa y, Chairman
Spirit Committee

'Maulidi' ignored
by black students
To Fountainhead:
I was vaguely amused by the letter in
last Tuesday's FOUNTAINHEAD which
complained that East Carolina lacks any
sort of Black-culture oriented
entertainment programs. Some
concerned students pointed out that
"Black entertainment is a vital facet of
the cultural development of the
American society, and is very important
to the development of Black culture
This statement is certainly true enough
and it was in fact with thus feeling in
mind that the Coastal Plains Folklore
Society presented, on 21 February, a
program designed precisely for just such
an appeal. Dr. Robert Bunger of th
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology presented a one hour
recording that he had taped relatively
recently in Mombasa; the tape consisted
of a choral rendition with musical
accompaniment of the "Maulidi apoem
of near epic porportions celebrating the
birth of Muhammed and dating from
perhaps the fifteenth century Poet,
musicians, chanters, instruments, and
occasion for celebration are all uniquely
African.
The fact of this program w.i-
announced in English and Anthropology
classes; it was noticed m the
FOUNTAINHEAD; it was mentioned on
the CU Bulletin Board; it was advertised
by posters around the campus Still, leas
than half a dozen concerned students
showed up to hear it and,
disappointingly, none was Black.
Cultural entertainment has been ,m,j ,?
now a reality on this campus Whs
needs is only people to come and y
Very truly youn,
