Defective exhaust systems
b
By JOE MOOSHA
Staff Writer
Exhaust fume hoods in the Science
building compltx on campus are
defective and potentially dangerous
according to Dr Wallace R. Wooles
Dean of the School of Medicine.
Several weeks ago when Dr. D.W.
Barnes of the Biology dept. was mixing a
potentially dangerous chemical
compound in one of the exhausi fume
hoods.
The chemical was described as
"potentially dangerous" because of a
"slight alteration" in it could have made
it noxious, according to Dr. Susan
McDatuel of the Biology department.
The compound fumed over, and
instead of going up the hood exhaust it
escaped into the room. From there it
was taken up by the air conditioning
system and distributed, almost
immediately, throughout the building.
As a result, the entire building had to be
evacuated.
The fume hood itself is a relatively
small enclosure, about waist high from
the floor, with a sliding glass door in
front.
Work with potentially dangerous
chemicals is done inside the hood to
keep fumes from escaping. Each hood
has a suction that draws fumes out
through a separate system At the
bottom of the hood are two drainage
holes for waste fluid that also empty
into a separate system.
Dr. McDaniel explained that every
hood has holes in the bottom for
draining off waste fuild. '?.Some of these
holes have never been hooked up. Thus
they dump directly into the cabinet
beneath the hood
The professor also notes a problem
with the placement of the hoods. "The
intake of the hood is located too close to
the intake of the air conditioning
system. And, the air conditioner intake
is stronger than that of the hood. Thus,
in the accident, the air conditioner
sucked up the potentially noxious fumes
instead of the fume hood doing so
In citing a reason for the situation, Dr.
McDaniel feels that the system was
inferior when it was first installed. "And
they (the hoods) probably weren't
inspected properly upon installment
She cites as evidence of this the problem
of the drainage holes.
Dr. Wooles has also called the fume
hoods defective in a letter requesting a
safety inspection of them.
In the letter (dated April 6), to James
Lowry, director of the physical plant,
Wooles said they "were fortunate in
recognizing the problem (referring to the
accident) in time and evacuating the
building so that there was no damage
reported by any person
"However he continued, "we may
not be so fortunate next time
Also in the letter, Wooles cited,
"certain inadequacies of some of the
show potential dangers
'ery hoods in this huildmu " Th,?? mii. j . im P.
hoods in this building " rhese included:
a lack of proper drainage; lai k
connection; and defective hood seals
"Some indeed have s hole in the top of
the hood
"Each of these and other defects
renders the hood useless he concluded
However, Lowry disagrees, He stated
that Wooles assumptions were "entirely
incorrect He further stated that "the
vents were installed correctly and
worked fine
"Wooles is using them for sou thing
different than the task for which they
were designed That is, the building was
built for biology hen the medical
school moved in But ljwry
acknowledged that he does not know
specifically how the hoods are used by
personnel in the building.
Lowry also noted that a safety
inspection was held a couple of weeks
ago. "The vents are sale to use - they're
as safe as they always were
However, Harry Freeman, laborat. ,?
manager of the building, seems to agree
with Dr McDaniel about the ituation.
"The flow of air. in my opinion, was
never balanced with the flow through
the air conditioner. That is, the hoods
were on, but the exhausting air on the
air conditioner was stronger than that of
the hood Instead oi going up the
chimney, the fume- went infa the
building
"I personally don't feel the system
was checked out initially by the proper
authorities Freeman continued,
In explaining some of the mechanics
of the hood system. Freeman noted that
the suction gets weaker from the fourth
floor down. "There ,s supposed to be a
damper to compensate for this situation
but most don't work
freeman also noted the problem t
red tape 'When the building was erected
(personnel moved fan in 19;9i the
(nstruction work war guaranteed for .1
year W. submitted wort orders foi
various problems, including hoods But
they wen ignored For example, right
nOW the root leaks, but nothing has been
(lone about it.
"I have written letters and gotten no
results. except , feelings Mid
Freeman.
Some of those work orders were sent
to U.B W'hitehurst. the superintendent
Of buildings and grounds. He d,
responsibility for the vents
"Freeman put in work orders for
various problems in 1969 and 1970. but
they should have gone to Lowry
"I am only concerned with new
construction or alternations I am in
charge of the building itself, not water
neat . pines, etc "

Union presents first
annual outdoor concert Students get federal monies
By DUFFY ROBINSON
Sta' I Writer
The Student Union Popular
Fntertamment Committee will present
the first annual outdoor concert Friday
May 11, 1973, at Ficklen Stadium,
commencing at eight o'clock.
Tona Price, recently interviewed by
Fountainhead stressed that the outdoor
musical expedition is "one for the
students "For a long time we have
received hassle from the students about
the restrictions of smoking and drinking.
This is a trial concert, and will be graded
on the conduct of the students
Price however did emphasize that
there are certain restrictions to be
enacted for the outdoor show. "There
will be no pop-top cans, or glass bottles
admitted to the grounds. We have
purchased plastic containers which the
students may buy at the gate for
twenty-five cents Price stated.
Price continued by saying, "We are
not condoning alcoholic beverages since
it is state law that no alcohol will be
admitted to the stadium, but the plastic
containers will be sold for lemonade or
anything else
The talents scheduled for Ficklen are
Elf, and Knglish group of easy listening
rock music. Following Elf will be
McKendree Spring whose style is
somewhat synonymous to that of Elf's.
Price commented about these two
groups by saying, "They're not Tull but
they're not Loggins and Messina either
The main attraction, Billy Preston,
will begin his show around nine to
nine-thirty p.m. barring technical
complications, and will finish around
eleven o'clock. "Preston Price stated,
"has a long list of credentials. He has
jammed with Ray Charles, played at the
Bangladesh concert, and jammed with
the Beatles.
"The Hollies were also under
consideration but billing difficulties
forced them out of the picture
Pertaining to the situation of the
police, Price cited, "We are going to use
MacKenzie Security police as ticket
agents and also approximately fifteen
city police positioned around the
perimeter of the stadium, the dressing
room, the dimmer board, and the stage,
but no police will be on the field with
the students.
"Medical facilities stated Price, "will
be the same as football games with the
Rescue squad and a doctor standing by
Tickets may be procured at the
central ticket office at the prices of three
dollars for students and five dollars for
public. Only five dollar tickets will be
sold at the gates.
Sound will be done by Jim Elliot of
Sound Unlimited, Greensboro.

More federal money will be available
for students who get financial aid this
year than ever before, according to
Robert M. Boudreaux of the financial
aid department.
In addition to the three major federal
financial aid programs, National Direct
Student Loan, College Work Study, and
Education Opportunity Grant, there will
be a Basic Opportunity Grant.
MORE MONEY
The Ba.su- Opportunity Grant has been
funded $122 million. "Therefore there
will be that much more money than ever
before in financial aid Boudreaux said.
He added, "This is only going to be
for another year or two and then there
?vil! be a reduction in the number of
dollars distributed on campus The
Basic Opportunity Grant will not be
administered on campus. It will be
administered off campus and there will
be the College Work Study only.
The concept of financial need will not
be the primary way of determining who
gets the Basic Opportunity Grant.
According to Boudreaux the law states
that every undergraduate student is
entitled to 14 hundred yearly grant less
family contribution not to exceed one
half the cost of college
"For instance we estimate it costs the
average student $2,060 a vear at East
Carolina so it would be possible for a
student to get as much as $1,000.
However, $122 million is no where near
the amount needed for fund 100
percent. To fund fully it would be
anywhere from one half to two billion a
year. So $122 thousand this year is just a
drop in the bucket Boudreaux
explained.
There is a bill now in congress which
will restrict the grants to incoming
freshmen. According to Boudreauz if the
grants were not restricted to freshmen
they would be about $80 per student If
the grants are restricted to freshmen the
average grant would be around $300
rather than $80.
SMALL REDUCTION
Boudreaux said he can expect a small
reduction in financial aid at ECU now
because as of now there are more schools
and students.
"Therefore my percentage of the total
amount is going to be smaller-because
tl ere are more private schools eligible
and more schools participating. I don't
think it will be enough to hurt. We were
in danger of getting a considerable cut in
federal funds he said. "I believe the
reason we didn't is the result of parents
and children writing their congressmen "
Boudreaux added that there was a
small possibility that President Nixon
would hold the money up. "If sc w
would be hurting he said
TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS
According to Boudreaux the financial
aid department gives out between $1.3
million and $15 million in financnl aid
a year and better than 75 percent of it ls
federal funds. Basically the state
financial aid from ECU students comes
from North Carolina tuition
scholarships. The amount for these
scholarships is determined by the
amount of in-state enrollment.
In an address to the Pitt County
Mental Health Association. N.C.
Secretary of Human Resources David
Flaherty stressed the importance of
more mental health services in the state.
According to Flaherty the state

New option drop comes in fall
Dorm thefts plague campuses
By BOB MARSKE
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Follow,ng l th. firjt in j
th'ee-part set iei on dormitory thefts, their victims end
the motives behind them. )
Theft in dormitories, a problem on all
ollege campuses, affects nearly every
element of the student population. The
.?itianger of thefts, ranging from a few
pennies to hundreds of dollars, is a
threat to each of ECU's 4,500 dorm
Residents.
"Theft ls a never ending problem on
?II college campuses said Joseph H.
Calder, Director of Campus Security.
"Here at East Carolina, they come in
peak periods: the beginning of the
quarter, the end of the quarter, breaks,
? and the beginning of the school year.
Right now, they are at a relative lull
I Ninety per cent of all thefts are
Imported, according to Calder. Those
Who hesitate to report usually do so
because they had stolen the articles
themselves, or knew they have
previously been stolen.
"Fifty per cent of all reported thefts
are not valid, but are reported for
insurance purposes he said. "Of the
remaining fifty per cent, about half are
recovered he said.
The nature of the articles stolen varies
from dormitory to dormitory and from
men to women.
Calder commented, "There is more
petty thievery, involving clothing,
stockings and toiletry items, in the
women's dorms. Men steal mainly larger
tiems: Television sets, stereos, lamps,
furniture, and whatever else can be easily
turned into cash. Money itself is a
common target for men and women
Quite often the thieves have no use for
the items stolen
PRIMARY TARGET
Carolyn Fulghum, Dean of Student
Affairs for Women, points to money as
the primary target for thefts in the
women's dorms, commenting, "Money is
immediately usable by the thief, and
nearly impossible to trace
A possible explanation for the
discrepancy between the nature of
articles stolen by men and women,
Fulghum speculates, is that "men need
more money than women do.
"Also she said, "men can handle the
larger items better than many women
can
The major threat of theft comes from
illegal dormitory residents, or outsiders,
who prey upon unsuspecting students.
Calder identified three major categories
of outsiders: "Circuit Riders "Shack
Rats and drug users.
CIRCUIT RIDERS
Circuit riders, according to Calder, are
non-students, often former students,
who travel from campus to campus, take
up illegal residence in a dormitory, and
steal to live. They will live either with
another student or in an unlocked room
These circuit riders establish themselves
in the dormitories, observing which
rooms are left unlocked and which
contain the most valuable merchandise.
Said Calder, "They usually prefer to
work on weekends, opening locked
doors through the transom or with an
illegal key. They will continue work
on campus until they arouse suspicion or
fear discovery, and then move on to
another school
SHACK RATS
Shack rats are non-students who
acquire cheap unfurnished apartments
and steal necessary items from the
dormitories to set them up. Calder finds
them to be a greater problem in the
women's dorms that in the men's dorms
Their methods of stealing are basically
the same as those of the circuit riders

Campus rip off in progress
DRUG USERS
"Drug users who steal are a threat to
the student body said Calder, "which
is based among students as well as
non-students ' Although they pose a
problem in both men's and women's
dorms, men have a greater incidence of
drug inspired thefts. In either case.
(continued on page 2. see thefts)
The ECl' Faculty Senate on February'
20, 1973 adopted a new course drop
procedure for undergraduates which will
become effective with the fall quarter
1973-74.
The following arrangements will be
observed by undergraduate students who
wish to drop courses.
UNDERGRADUATES
All undergraduate students may at
their option drop a course or courses
without penalty at any time up to and
including the first twnety class days in
the quarter or ten class days in the
summer session, excluding Saturdays
The actual calendar date up to and
including which undergraduates may
drop courses at their discretion will be
published and will become a part of the
university quarter and summer session
schedule.
PROCFDURE
During the prescribed period,
undergraduate students who wish to
drop a course must inform the
appropriate departmental chairman,
dean, or person whom they designate
and discuss the course or courses they
wish to drop They must obtain a
drop-add form, complete it and obtain
the signature of the university official
with whom they have conferred. They
will next secure from the instructor or
instructors the class enrollment card or
cards. Both the drop add form and
required class enrollment card or cards
must be taken by the student to the
Registrar's Offitc within three class days.
REPORT TO CHAIRMEN
Students enrolled in the General
College will report t- the Dean of that
college Student! who have declared
majors in Nursing or in departments in
the School of Allied Health and Social
Professions must report to appropriate
officers in those schools and department
Students enrolled in courses or programs
offered by the Division of Continuing
Education will report to persons
designated l,y the Dean of that division
All other undergraduates must report to
their departmental chairman or dean, or
person whom they may designate
During the 1973-74 session, the last
calendar day on which students may-
exercise an option will be as follows
Fall Quarter - October 3. 1973
Winter Quarter January 10. 1974
Spring Quarter April 1. 1974
After the date ending the quarter or
summer session period in which students
may exercise dropping courses, and to
the date of the administration of final
examinations m courses, all
undergraduate students will observe the
following procedure in order to drop
without penalty.
All students enrolled in the General
College and all those not in Allied Health
or Continuing Education will report to
the Office of thi Provost Those enrolled
in Allied Health or Continuing
Education, will see their department
heads.
URGENT AND COMPELLING
Students who petition to drop a
course or courses without penalty during
the prescribed period (i.e after the first
twenty class days in the quarter or ten
class days in the summer session) will be
permitted to do so only for the most
urgent and compelling reasons. It is,
therefore, anticipated that relatively few
student apllications to drop courses will
be granted. For those who do obtain
such permissions, the drop-add form and
required class enrollment card must then
be taken by the student to the
Registrar's Office within three class days
DENIED PERMISSION
Students who are denied permission
to drop a course or courses without
penalty may appeal to a faculty
committee of three members appointed
by the Senate If the appeal is granted,
the drop-add form must be properly
executed, and signed by the chairman of
the committee Class enrollment cards
must be obtained from instructors The
drop-add forms and class enrollment
cards must be taken by the student to
the Registrar's Office within thre class
days

MULTIFACETED PROBLEM
"Theft in the dorms is a multifacted
problem with multiple causes says
.lames SfalTory, Dean of Student Affairs
for Men, "When someone spends more
money that he wants his parents to
know, whether it is through gambling,
drugs, drinking, or even too many
expensive dates, he may steal to make up
for it
Dean Fulghum further attributes some
thefts to an immediate need for money.
"Often she said, "a girl may need
money for a project or something and
will steal rather than borrow from
friends
"However, when the URC set up its
emergency loan fund, thefts in the girls'
J irms dim nished considerably " This
W IC Emergency Loan Fund is separate
from a similar SGA fund, and allows
women students only to borrow up to
twenty dollars, with two weeks to repay.
"Most schools with seve-day visitation
have encountered an increase in
vandalism said Mallory. "Here,
however, thefts are low despite our
expanded visitation poluy. Much of the
credit for this must go to the efforts of
the campus police
Med Record's
grant renewed
The Medical Record Science Program
at ECU has received a renewal of its
Allied Health Special Improvement
Grant of $9,612 from the U.S. Dept. of
Health. Education and Welfare
The program, part of the ECU School
of Allied Health and Social Professions,
has used its federal grants to develop and
expand community teaching sites used
by medical record science students
However, since current government
plans include the termination of allied
health professions grants, the budget
period July 1. 1973 ? June 30, 1974 will
serve as a phase-out period for this grant.

Flaherty addresses Mental Health Association
(continued from page 1 )
mental health is working under too
many agencies. "Asa result we have a lot
of overlapping and duplication. We are
paying the price of these duplications
We can't afford to pay this price he
said.
REORGANIZATION
The correction for this problem lies in
reorganization of the programs. A bill
for the reorganization has passed the
house and is in the senate now. "If we
can get reorganization this department
will save better than $57 million. If we
can save those dollars they can be used
against federal dollars to get new and
better programs for the need that
exists Flaherty sa d.
North Carolina needs a preschool
mental health, clinic according to
Flaherty. Teachers observe pre-school
children in these clinics and look for
what is expected in a child of their age.
HEW reports women get
less salary on college faculty
(CPS) Women comprise 22.5 percent
of the nation's 254,930 full-time college
and university faculty on nine-and
10-month contracts and receive average
salaries that are almosl $2,500 less than
their male counterparts, the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW)
re entlj announced
This comparison (which excludes
two-year institutions) does reveal
however, a sharp rise in the proportion
of women with the rank of instructor
who now comprise 13.5 percent of the
total for men and women as compared
with 30.9 percent of all instructors in
1962-63
If the child is mentally deficient and
the deficiency can not be corrected
before he enters scool then the child is
sent to a special clinic.
There are some clinics like this in
some parts of the state. Flaherty told
about a child of three who was mentally
retarded and was brought to Project
Enlightenment. The child now has a
normal IQ and is going to regular school.
"These are the kinds of programs that
are working in one area that we need all
over the state he said.
MAJOR OBJECTIVE
A major objective is to divide the total
programs in North Carolina. There are
programs for certain ages and levels of
children but none for before or after
these ages and levels.
"It is bad when you know a child's
problems and there is no where to send
him he said.
According to Flaherty a inventory of
the mental health needs that exist in
North Carolina and the existing
programs that the state already provides
need to be taken. "If we see the needs
and the duplications and where the
programs overlap then we can present it
to the general assembly for a total
program. Then we can get what we
need
NEW FORMULAS NEEDED
For more success new formulas for
matching dollars in the counties are
needed. The eastern and western
counties especially need more money.
"The bills that are now in the
legislature that would provide an
increase in the money for mental health
look as though they may be successful
Flaherty said.
"There is a large population, over 10
thousand in the mental institutions.
These people have rights and have never
had them spilled out to them. There is a
bill in the legislature that looks like it
will pass that would provide for a full
time attorney to work for patients'
rights and also employers' rights
INCREASED FUNDS
An increase in funds is also being-
requested for day care centers for the
mentally retarded According to
Flaherty there is now10 per month per
child and an increase to $80 a month is
being requested
Flaherty said that mental health in
North Carolina is progressing.
"We have had problems but there is
not any organization that grows and
does not have pains. A department that
meets the needs that must be met gets
the responses they want "
Craft courses
obtain academic
value in schools
(CPS)-While college students were
demonstrating in the streets during the
60s, another revolution, quiet and
unheralded, took place in the art
departments of schools throughout the
United States.
Craft courses were finally accepted as
having academic value and a place on the
curriculum.
In 1962 only 16 schools offered
programs in craft education Today
slightly more than 650 schools have
courses in crafts, according to the
American Crafts Council in New York
Banking, enameling, ceramics,
glassblowing and stitchery among 28
other crafts are now being taught for
credit at the college level. Crafts are also
being taught in museum schools, art
centers, YWCAs, summer camps and
adult education classes. And the rise in
the interest of crafts has just begun.
Indications are that students are
learning new skills and old crafts not "to
kill time" but to earn a living. They are
attracted to the lifestyle available to
them by working in crafts
Colleges for the most part are only
offering traditional careers to their
students The object of a craft
curriculum is to teach the subject vn
elementary of high schools. Colleges
advise students not to plan on a career as
an artist-craftsperson. Some
craftspersons have been able to make a
living by combining private lessons and
the wholeselhng of their goods, but
incomes have been limited. The problem
is that most craftspersons do not know-
enough about the business to make a
profit.
A school in Big Stone Gap, Virginia is
doing something about this. The new
two-year school. Mountain Empire
Community College, has a Crafts
Education program. The first of its kind,
the course is aimed at "creating artisans
making their living from (Tafts
according to Glenn Rand, Directer of
Crafts.

the data
the 1972-73
Campus beer negated
- hool year and deal with instructional
faculty in public and private institutions
of higher education in all 50 itates, the
District of Columbia and outlying areas.
These preliminary figures reveal that
colleges and universities employ 197,633
men and 57,297 women on nine-and
10-month contracts and that the male
faculty member earns an average salary
of SI 1.352 annually, while females

The survey also reveals that only 9.7

all males-while 36.8 percent or 21,068of
the women are instructors Working up
from the instructor level. 36 1 percent of
females are assistant professors and 17.1
percent are BSSOl late professors.
Although no strictly comparable
historical data exist, the HEW report
Cites an earhet study of universities and
certain other four-year institutions to
show that the proportion of women
faculty numbers has changed little in the
past 1 tl yean, rising from 1 9 0 percent in
1962-63 to 20.6 percent in 1972-73,
The possibility of having a pub thai
would sell beer on the F:ast Carolina
campus is shm according to Dr. James H
Tucker, dean of student affairs
Many campuses across the I 1.8, have
opened pubs which bring in large
amounts of money for student activities
In North Carolina however it is against
the law to sell alcoholic beverages at
state institutions
According to Tucker there are some
campuses that have pubs are are
disappointed in the amoi it that they are
selling. "They have reports that
anticipate selling a certain amount and
they don't
He said one of the reasons given by
the campuses for this, was the students
were hesitant to let the faculty and
administration see them drinking
Tucker said, "In some locations it's
almost taken for granted in others it's
sort of a shady operation "
Tucker said he had to idea how
successful i pub would be on the Easl
Carolina campus and if a would be
worth the effort to change the law. "I
don't have any idea I'm sure that if it
wire legal in the soda shop there would
be some sold
According to Tucker one factor could
be "so many places within walking
distance of the camous here. The
students could go there v ithout fear that
the faculty and administration were
looking down there noses at them
Tucker said it would be hard to say
whether the pubs on campus would
provide more supervision and safety.
"Places that sell beer are bound by strict
laws and regulations. You see in the
paper every few days where some place
has lost its beer license. Most that run
good legitimate places aren't going to
jeopardize losing their license.
"If the state legislature ever changes
the law there is a good chance that they
will designate the agency that Mill it. We
are one of 16 branches, and I imagine on
something like this it would be
designated policy.
"We lease out our food services and it
in the new Union our food services are
leased out and the law is changed I'm
sure they would like to sell it
Tucket doesn't foresee and change in
the law anytime soon, "R hasn't even
COI le up as a question yet "
f
ECU-Bonn will be closed next fall as
the university's International Studies
program moves to Rome. Italy.
The change is being made due to
devaluation of the American dollar in
Germany, according to ECU Provost Dr.
Robert Williams Students who enrolled
in the Bonn program prior to the
location change will he able to withdraw
or enter the F.CI' programs in Home and
Japan.
HEART OF ROME
According to Williams, the increased
cost of the Bonn program due to the
devaluated dollar would have limited the
Bonn program only to "the wealthiest

The sky was high, the grass was low and it was
a sunny day on the Mall Monday afternoon. "Women's Awareness

man) on campus who was not aware that there were some good
vibes being put out.
There were scantily topped co eds and their male

Women emphasizeunited awareness
By KATHY KOONCE
vVr itef
What ii the status of women at ECU?
What opportunities are open for women
and where arc women headed? These
and other questions lead to the
estabi'shment of a Women's Awareness
Week (WAW) on campus.
The initiation of the ideas began with
Shirley Blandino, Women's Residence
Council president, while campaigning lor
the office last spring. At the first
meeting last spring the idea of better
communication between the Panhellenic
Council and WRC was discussed.
Blandino was introduced by I'am Holt,
Garrett Hall administrator, to Kay Five.
then president of Panhellenic.
Interchanges in meetings took place and
the sponsoring of WAW got into a. tion.
MAKE WOMEN AWARF
According to Inez Fridley, faculty
coordinator, the purpose of VV.UV is "to
make women aware of how they tan
help themselves Fridley mentioned
that many women, after working for five
years or so, do not understand why jobs
are discriminatory. Fridley hopes that
Women's Awareness Week will aid
women in understanding how they can
?erye in campus and community
activities. The main emphasis is to bring
out what women have done in the
(Ireenville area.
UNITED EFFORT
WAW is a united effort from Angel
Flight, Gamma Sigma Sigma service
sorority. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority,
Inez Fridley, counselor of Clement Hall,
faculty and staff, Panhellenic along with
the WRC.
The faculty and staff studied the
status of women, both students and
faculty, on ampus. A study done by
HFW indicated that an average of $3,500
per year less was made by women than
men. ECU falls below the national
average of $3,500.
STRONGER INVOLVEMENT
Blandino emphasized the need for
stronger student involvement in such
activities as WAW. She believes that this
year has been "excellent" in taking such
steps.
"I can't remember a year when a WRC
president has been invited to a
Panhellenic meeting she said. This has
also been the first year th" WRC has
been involved with minority women.
FIRST YEAR IN IAWS
Blandino further added this was the
first year of ECU'S membership in the
Intercollegiate Association of Women
Students HAWS) Most colleges involve!

ART BUILDING
By TIMBR.INN
Staff Writer
Believe it or not, that open pit on
rampus between Fifth Street and the
North Cafeteria will be the site of classes
?pring quarter of 1973. At least, that is
what the new Art Building construction
schedule called for until the monsoon
rains hit ECU earlier this spring. Now,
according to Dean Gray of the Art
Department, it may be a "tight squeeze"
at best.
This news will probably not do much
to lift the spirits of many art students
who are already using facilities spread
I over the entire campus. At present, art
students fill the third floor and portions
f of the second floor of the Rawl building,
! the basement area of the North Cafteria,
the old Buccaneer room, as well as an
?old house on Ninth Street obtained for
f decorating classes. This situation should
come to an end with the completion of
the Art Building when the department,
for the first time in many years will
under one roof.
COMPLICATIONS ARISE
For at least a short time, however,
even that roof may not be large enough.
Financial complications saw to thatout
(Photo hv Rim Mannt
of an original four million dollar request
the 1971 North Carolina General
Assembly approved only slightly more
than two million. Kn though a capital
Improvement bill of 2435,000 dollars is
now before the General Assembly,
changes have already had to be made
According to .lames Lowry, Director
Of the ECU Physical Plant, original plant
called for a two story structure able to
handle over one thousand students and
fifty faculty members. Due to financial
limitation, it will be built in two stages.
I he first phase will consist of 55.000
fed of floor space, redesigned without
galleries and very little administrative
area to provide for some hasic functions
of the Art Department only Phase two,
funded by the pending bill before the
General Assembly, will provide for an
additional 63,000 feet of floor ipace,
including additional classrooms, display
areas, and faculty space. Despite
modifications, Dean Wellignton Cray
calls the facility, a "better situation in
design than anything else in this part of
the world
FEATURES UNIQUE CONCEPTS
Among the unique features of the Art
Building will be a system of rectangular
bay windows on the north and south
iid? of the structure Each window will
provide hght for a studio fourteen ol
which will be located on the lecond
floor and seven on the ground floor, I he
windows are to be unflltered glaat to
allow art students to use north Ughl
which is colder, blue and more conatanl
than direct yellow light from the east or
west.
A description of the equipment
Unique features
make complete structure
contained in the budding could be
summed up in one word-complete The
first floor will be the home of several
sculpture studios, plastics and advanced
sculpture rooms, and wax and bronze
studios. Wood and metalworking shop.
day-mixing rooms, and an electrit
foundry are located nearby. Lecture
rooms with wall-mounted projector
screens will also be built. The main
entrance will be located near where the
flagpole now stands, and a loading dock
will be located in the rear for deliveries
by truck.
The second story, with its sixteen foot
ceiling, will be primarily studios
Painting and drawing areas, craft and
jewelry rooms, and office spar will be
located there In addition, a studio for
dyeing and printing fabrics, complete
with heated dye vats and drying areas
will b( installed
KILN WILL ROLL
There will also be a brick patio area
laid outside the building. The patio will
contain five kilns, four of which are the
conventional type, utilizing shelves to
hold the objects to be heated it jj hoped
that the fifth will tie a "truck" kiln,
which features a trolleycar device that
rolls in and out of the heating area on
rails, at a cosl of six thousand dollars-it
is the only one in this area. The patio
will be surrounded with a brick wall
ranging in height from six to eight feel
Lowry pointed out that the structure
will be architecturally barrier tree with
ramp, replacing stairs on both floors He
also stated that the building is a
reinforced concrete structure as opposed
to the structural steel foundations ol the
Student Union. As a result, it will prove
sturdy enough even for the "rigours t
the various arts and crafts' ,t should
suffer at the hands of F.Cl' students

GRAHAM ARCHITECTUAL RAMP
(Photo by Ross Mannj
MS
Consfrucfion begins completion
SQUNfc
Construction on campus at the
present time includes a new student
union, a School of Art Building, and
plans for a new addition to Joyner
Library.
An architectural barrier removal
program for the physically handicapped
is also in progress in conjunction with
building repairs on campus.
According th Clifton Moore,
vice-chancellor of business affairs the
Student Union is presently 60 per cent
complete. The School of Art building is
25 per cent complete. Both buildings are
expected to be completed Jan 1974.
The addition to Joyner Library will be
larger than the present library said
Moore. The building will feature an open
stacks system. At presnt student pages
are hired to "read" the shelved books for
students requesting certain hooks to be
checked out.
The library addition, originally
scheduled for a 1975 construction date,
will be begun withm the next 30 days.
Its estimated competion is by Nov.
1974. The cost of the addition is
S2,465,000 noted Moore.
The new art building will cost
$2,010,000 said Moore. The building
under construction is only one-half of
the total plan. ECU is asking the current
legislature for an additional $2,135,000
for construction costs of the second half
In the half now under construction,
'here will be facilities for drawing and
painting, sculpture, design, interior
design and ceramics. There will also be
sufficient offices for the faculty teaching
in these departments, laid Dean
Wellington B. Gray of the School of Art.
"The purpose of the architectural
and facilities on campus to all students
including those physically handicapped.
Kight now we are budding ramps for
at the front entrances of
barrier removal program said Moore,
"is to allow equal access to all buildings
Graham and the Nursing buildings. We
are also building these ramps at certain
places along the curbing around
campus
Projects simdar to these, indicated
Moore, include modification of
restrooms to accomodate the
handicapped and raised room numbers
on doors so they can be read by the
blind.
"Right now we're trying to match our
repair jobs with the architectural barrier
removal program Moore went on. "We
expect to spend 850,000 out of next
year's school budget. We're hoping for
an additional $200,000 of federal
appropriations

On
Tuesday, May 8, 1978, Foiintainhead. I'age 7
As a result of splitting a twinbill with
Appalachian state on Sunday, the ECU
baseball team still has a prayer left for
heir Southern Conference title hopes
They also swept a doublehcader from
MI last Wednesday and took a sinile
Ijame from William and Mary on
Thursday.
By capturing four of their last five
tames the Pirates close out the season
litha 10-4 conference mark. First place
ppalachian State holds a 10-2 record
vhile the Richmond Spiders are 7-4.
In order to claim a tie for the
Championship, ECU must hope that
Richmond sweeps their doubleheader
vith Appalachian State, scheduled for
loday. The Mountaineers need only a
Iplit to be the outright winners, but
Ihould Richmond take both games and

tther ramainmg game, there will be a
hxee-way tie for first place.
Southern Conference officials,
neeting in Greenville this past week,

ketermined on the field and not by
patching wins and losses.

In the opener VMI struck first for a

right back when Jeff Beaston drove in
Ronnie Ieggett. who reached on an
error.
VMI gave the Pirates a scare by taking
a 3-1 lead, but a four run outburst in the
fifth inning remedied that situation.
Jimmy Puif pinchit for Godwin and
came throui with a single. He moved to
second on a wild pitch. Mike Bradshaw
walked and Troy Eason followed with a
single. An error by the Keydets allowed
Paige to score on the play. Lin Spears
entered the game to pinchrun for Eason.
Ron Staggs then parked a three run
homer over the right field fence to give
the Bucs a two run lead.
VMI scored once in the sixth off
Toms to cut the margin to 5-4, but he
mowed them down safely in the seventh
to preserve the victory.
In the nightcap VMI loaded the bases
in the first but failed to push a run
across.
The Bucs took a 1-0 lead in the
bottom half of the inning when
Bradshaw singled, stole second, and
scored on a single off the bat of Mike
Hogan.
VMI scored twice in the fourth,
thanks mainly to an error and wild pitch
by Pirate hurler Joe Heavner. The Pirates

down, scored on a clutch double off the
bat of Beaston.
The game was all but over after the
next inning as the Pirates overwhelmcn
the Keydets with six runs Bradshaw got
the uprising started with a walk. John
Narron was safe on an error and Paige
came on as a pinch runner for him
Staggs walked to make it three ducks on
the pond. Bradshaw then scored a wild
pitch. With one out Walters hit a shot up
the middle that caromed off the bat off
Beaston. Another VMI miscue allowed
Toms to reach ba.v, after which
Bradshaw singled in his second
appearance at the plate that inning to
drive in Mc.Mahon and give the Pirates an
8-2 advantage.
ECU got three more in the sixth to
put the icing on the cake. Hogan
slammed a leadoff double and both
Walkers and M-jMahon walked. Beaston
drove in his fourth and fifth runs of the
game with a single, and McMahon scored
the final run of the game making the
score 11-2 when Toms reached on a
fielder's choice.
The following day the Bucs journeyed
tc Williamsburg, Va. with the first hurdle
cleared and a new head of steam built up
to do battle with William and Mary. The
weatherman gave them the most trouble
as they outlasted the Indians 5-3 in a
rain-shortened game.
Russ Smith received credit for the
victory and upped his re ord to 3-1 in
going the full five innings
The Pirates drew first blood in the
second, Beaston singled and Greg
Fulghum followed suit. N'arrron belted a
timely double with two men down to
score Beaston for a 1-0 lead
A two-out rally in the third upped the
Pirate lead to 3-0. Leggett reached on an
Indian error, and Beaston continued his
fantastic hitting by getting another
single. William and Mary attempted to
cut down Leggett when he moved
around lo third, so Beaston went into
second behind the play. Fulghum
followed with his seond single of the
game, driving in both Leggett and
Beaston.
The Pirates picked up another run in
the fourth when Bradshaw singled,
Narron singled, and Staggs reached on a
fielder's choice with Bradshaw scoring
on the play.
William and Mary broke into the
scoring column with a run in the bottom
half of the inning, but thy left the bases
loaded in what could have been a
disasterous rally from the Pirates
standpoint
The Pirates went right back and
picked up another run in the fifth.
Leggett singled and Beaston reached on
an error. Fulghum grounded into a
fielder's choice, but an error was
committed on the play at second base-
that allowed Leggett to streak home,
making the score 5-1.
The cloudy ikiei began to wcvp with
sympathy for William and Mary, as the
game had yet to reach the full five
innings required to make it official. The
Indians did score twice, hut it was
raining too hard to continue and so the
umpires called the game with the Pirates
on top 5-3.
In the opener against Appalachian
State, the Hues won 5-4 despite
committing six errors. They opened the
scoring in the second when, after Leggett
had doubled, the Mounties shortstop
dropped a popup in short left field,
allowing Leggett to score
Appalachian took a 4-1 lead in the
third, but ECU would have none of that
and tied it up in the fourth. Walters
made up for his two errors of the
previous inning by lining a three-bagger
Leggett doubled, Beaston tripled, and
pitcher Toms picked up the win m this
crucial game, going the entire nine
innings.
The second game was just plain sad.
Russ Smith and Bill Godwin were promptly
bombed for seven runs in the fu-st inning
and the Bucs were never able to recover,
finally succombing 9-1.
So now the Pirates sit and wait,
hoping for the Spiders to entangle the
Mounties. with the eventual conference
champion receiving a bid to participate
in the NCAA District Tournament at
Mississippi State later this month
Stickmen walloped by W&M Indians
East Carolina's dream for a winning
lacrosse season was shattered Saturday
afternoon at Minges Field, as the William
and Mary Indians took a 15-4 victory
from the Pirates. East Carolina finished
the season with a 5-6 record and had
they won Saturday's contest, it would
have been the first winning season in
ECU lacrosse history.
The Indians hit the nets in the first
minute of play and moments later
moved out to a 2-0 lead before the Bucs
were ignited to come back and tie the
contest at 2-2. William and Mary again
took the lead late in the quarter, and
never trailed from that point.
The visitors from Williamsburg, Va.
outscored the Pirates, 4-0 in the second
period to lead at the half, 7-2. They
again shut out the Bucs, 3-0, in the third
period, and outhit them 5-2 in the final
period of play.
The Pirates' scoring was led by Danny
Mannix. Mannix scored a single goal and
chipped in two assists. Jeff Hansen
scored one goal, as did Larry Hayes and
Bill Harrington. Chuck Maxwell was
credited w.di one assist.
Hansen closed out the season as the
number one scorer in Pirate history.
Twice during the year, he tied the record
for scoring in a single game, and he
broke the single game mark for most
points.

New drop-add measures fail
to provide academic security
?r?tqUtST FOR WITHDRttVAlAl
DEPART Mt NT MEAD
I here is .1 reat deal of furor these
days over the faculty tenure system
posedly, a professor who is tenured
has .i certain amount of "security" from
the otherwise daj to-day possibility of
being replaced in another teacher or an
expensive piece of mechanical
equipment needed by his particular
depart ment
However, the student at ECU ????
through his entire four years here with
little "security" whatsoever in the event
that anything endangers his position.
It a student experiences a particularly
disasterous quarter academically, he is
a probationary period in which to
bring up his average But as everyone
knows, a disasterous quarter requires a
superlative quarter to bring up one's
grades to a mediocre level. Generally, the
same reason that caused the disasterous
quarter will be so evident as to prevent
any possibility of overhauling one's Q.P
substantuaially.
major step has been taken by the
ilty Senate in extending the deadline
for dropping a course without penalty
from the present three clays (drop-add
period 1 until any time up to and
including the first twenty class days in
the quarter or ten days 111 the summer
session This change will become
effective beginning next fall. Now. at
least, the student will have almost three
weeks to "text out" an uncertain
course-even experience an "F" on one
or more tests, and still be able to
withdraw without being seriously
damaged. Currently, if a student makes a
miserably low grade on the first or
second test in a course, and it comes
after the three day drop-add period, he
must pull up the grade to a passing level
within two weeks of the final exam
period just to be able to receive a
Withdrawal Passing" or WP form. The
work necessary to pull up the grade to a
passing mark is wasted.
The new system will be a major help,
but it comes with more guidelines than a
federal grant. The proceedure is very
complicated, and is rendered impotent
by the strict requirements If a student
wants to drop a course without penalty
during the prescribed period, he will be
permitted to do so '?only for the most
urgent and compelling reasons An
official memorandum from the office of
Edwin Mor.ro. . Vice Chancellor for
Health Affairs even states. "It is.
therefore, anticipated that relatively few
student applications to drop courses will
lie granted
Of course, if a student is denied
permission to drop, he may appeal the
decision to a faculty committee of three
members of the Faculty Senate.
However, we find it very unlikely that
such a committee will have the student's
interest at heart enough to overrule a
departmental head.
While other schools are experimenting
with Pass Fail systems and Academic
Bankrupey, we at ECU are setting up
C( mmittees to investigate whether a
Student's r isons for dropping a course
too late are valid enough to "allow" him
to salvage is academic average, and
possibly, his right to stay in school. This
is not to say that either the Pass-Fail or
Academic Bankrupey systems are
especially good, but only to point out
that in other intellectual environments
there is a bit of humanitarianism
displayed towards the student populace.
It is very easy to erase a fine academic
record in one short quarter because of
unpredictable physical, academic or
social pressures But a computer doesn't
understand illness, work overloads or
dire financial straits. The computer
cannot comprehend when a student has
started a major program ill-suited for his
intellectual abilities. The computer is
insensitive to poor teacher-student
relations that often result in "D's" and
"F's
All the computer does is ingest "hours
attempted" and "credits received" and
average them into previous "hours
attempted" and "credits received
It can he argued that a permissive
academic system would allow a student
to liquidate any "bad" grades and retain
the "good" grades, thereby failing to
give a true picture of actual "expended
effort Such a system, some say, would
undermine the standardization of a
college degree.
Standards must be upheld, but there
come a point when the university must
admit that a student is only human, and
should not have to carry the scars of a
bad quarter indef inately. There are many
students on this campus unable to enter
graduate school, simply because a math
or foreign language sequence has marred
otherwise exceptional adademic
averages.
We do not foresee any rapid
movement in administrative policy
towards a more liberal academic view.
After all, this is the university that
requires a student to pass a swimming
text to pick up his sheepskin.
Tip of the week
Washington AUrry-go4cound
Nixon: You can't confide in anyone
Wayne Nobles and William Garrison,
Pitt County narcotic agents will be on
duty in Ficklen Stadium Friday night at
the Billy Preston concert.
Don't say we didn't warn
you.
By JACK ANDERSON
Late at night, President Nixon
occasionally has a peculiar experience.
He once told a friend: "I have a feeling
that I have something to tell the
President. Then I suddenly shake myself
awake and realize I am the President
Lately, the President has been trying
to shake himself awake from a
nightmare. He has to pinch himself to
make sure the Watergate fiasco isn't all a
bad dream.
Typically, he retreated into his turtle
shell to find the solution. As he told a
friend, "You can't confide in anyone
about your personal feelings After
agonizing with himself for a weekend, he
finally made the painful decision to oust
his two most trusted advisors, H.R.
Haldeman and John Ehrliehman. This
was one of the most painful things he
has ever had to do.
For Haldeman and Fhrlichman
thought they were carrying out the
President's wishes. Nixon grew up in the
Murray Chotiner school of politics. He
has referred to early campaigns as rock
'em, sock 'em campaigns. He believes
that in politics, as in war, the best
strategy is an offense. And he relishes
political intrigue.
ON HIS ORDERS
He, therefore, ordered the overall
intelligence operation against the
Democrats. Certainly, he never intended
that his subordinates should violate the
law. But he didn't mind getting in his
licks against the liberals who have always
fought him.
Most Americans are eager to blame
the whole Watergate mess upon the
President's underlings. Yet the
disagreeable truth is that the President,
while innocent of any law violations, was
responsible for the decisions and the
developments that led to Watergate.
Meanwhile, the heads now rolling in
the White House are causing anxious
stirrings throughout the federal
government. Bureaucrat are worried

faith in others, have never faced the
great realities of existence. They could
not deny God if they had ever seen life
in its true perspective.
The prisoners of war have returned
from Vietnam, and what do they say
about religion
Have any of them turned atheist? On
the other hand how many of the atheists
among them were turned to religion and
came home with great faith in Almighty
God?
The facts are that the POWs returned
well established in belief in God, and
deeply grateful to Him for sustaining
them through their trials.
ONE AFTER another declared as they
returned home that it was faith in God
that sustained them through their ordeal.
It was faith in God that helped them
keep their sanity; it was also this faith
that gave them strength and

for the day of deliverance.
All of these men faced death. Many
suffered sever harrassment, and some
saw their buddies die.
One POW said that the moment he
was captured he felt a strong conviction
that "God was by my side" and he
received the assurance that "I'm going to
be all right "
NUMEROUS PRISONERS said
similar things One said, "Without God I
could not have survived
The POWs practiced their religion as
well as they could under the
circumstances. They prayed, separately
and together; they sang hymns and read
scripture. Among their favorite songs
were: "In The Carden "You'll Never
Walk Alone "What A Friend We Have
In Jesus" and "Holy, Holy, Holy
Their favorite scripture, which many
memorized and recited was the 23rd
Psalm, but others oi'ten quoted were the
Beatitudes and the 13th chapter of First
Corinthians.
What a great pillar of strength in
anyone's life is faith in God!

To Fountainhead:
Last Tuesday night (May 1) spirits
" running high on (College Hill Drive
and many Hill residents had just been
enjoying an afternoon of "fun 'n'
games" at Tyler's May Day celebration.
Uter that night, in an effort to relieve
the boredome and as a way of working
off a little spring fever, male Hill
residents organized a mildly successful
that departing White House aides, who
have been tarnished but not implicated
in the Watergate case, will soon be
evading their agencies and taking over
their jobs.
Already, of course, the President has
stacked federal agencies with Republican
friends who devoted themselv to his
re-election campaign. Now, however,
with the dismissal of H.R. Haldeman,
John Ehrliehman and John Dean from
the White House, the President must
decide what to do with the dozens of
staffers who worked under these men.
Some, doubtless, will stay close to the
President. But many will seek refuge in
the bureaucracy's vast hinterland outside
the White House.
BUREAUCRACY'S SIBERIA
For those seeking total anonymity,
the President can recommend the Siberia
of the bureaucracy, the Agriculture
Department. This is the home of
numerous controversial Republicans
included Steve King, formerly a top
secretary official for the Republican
party. It was King, you may recall, who
allegedly helptd stick a needle in Martha
Mitchell's bottom to quiet her down last
summer.
At the time, Martha was howling
about dirty little deeds in the White
House. King, we assume, now has less
sensitive chores as Assistant to
Agriculture Secretary East Butz.
For those who would prefer some
quick cash for little work, there is the
appropriately named Office of Ecnomic
Opportunity. This used to be the
nation's anti-poverty agency. Now, it
functions as a haven for
ultra-conservatives, may of whom are
getting rich dismantling poverty
programs. Until July 1, scores of
so-called consultants will earn as much as
$100 a day for their services. Some of
these, not surprisingly, already include
ex-White House aides.
For many li aving the White House,
therefore, the President's spring cleaning
will not be so painful as the public might
expect. Banishment from the White
House wont be reflected in their fat
paychecks.
STRATEGY STALEMATE
Secret intelligence reports claim North
Vietnam's leaders are torn over what
their strategy should be. They have
suddenly become remote and
inaccessible in Hanoi. This is the
outward evidence that they are locked in
deep debate. The intelligence reports
suggest they are trying to decide whether
to mount a propaganda offensive to win
politic al converts or a guerrilla offensive
to win military victories.
The intelligence reports claim, in fact,
that the North Vietnamese have built up
enough strength in the South since the
cease-fire to mount a major offensive.
They not only have an estimated
150,000 combat troops but more than
350 tanks and armored vehicle , in the
South. Hundreds of antiaircraft weapons
have also been moved across the
demilitarized zone.
An offensive, however, would almost
certainly bring massive American
retaliation. The North Vietnamese,
therefore, have been holding their main
force in reserve and supporting limited
guerrilla attacks. But North Vietnam's
negotiators in Paris seem genuinely
interested in American aid to rebuild
their country. This won't be available
until there is a genuine cease-fire.
The leaders in Hanoi reportedly are
debating whether to cooperate in
bringing peace and stability to Vietnam.
A period of peace, at least, would give
time for American strategic interests to
cool down. This would reduce the
likelihood of American retaliation if
Hanoi should decide upon a military
showdown far enough in the future.
Meanwhile, Hanoi is preparing
simultaneouslt for both a political and
military struggle ? whichever may best
advance its goal in Indochina.

panty raid on Tyler Dorm. Although
only a moderate-sized crowd had formed
and there was no "trouble" in the
making, the campus police force was
romptly dispatched to the Hill to
asperse the crowd. The girls in my dorm
were advised via the PA. system that the
police had arrived, and that we were to
stay away from the windows and doors
so the guys would "calm down and not
get in any trouble
Shortly after this, my roommated and
I were standing outside of Belk with
some other friends, surveying the crowds
and chit-chatting, conjecturing on what
trumped-up charge the police would find
to arrest a few people. Surely they
would, since they had been sent to the
Hill to quell the riots and it was their job
to protect the lives and safety of ECU
students. The police were huddled in a
group, trying to decide what to do next,
since they had driven the students back
to the porches of Aycock and Scott.
To make a long story short, a friend
of mine had a box of sparklers (the kind
left over from two Christmases ago) and
after repeated efforts he finally got one
lit. At about the same time, firecrackers
and cherry bombs were exploding in the
near proximity. We noticed that the
campus police were heading our way and
wondered what was up. To our surprise
it was us. My friend with the sparklers
was told by the campu cops that he was
under arrest for "Fireworks" and was
hustled away before any of us could
utter a work in protest. We assumed that
the police thought HE was throwing the
firecrackers andor cherry bombs
exploding near us, so several guys went
to his rescue to offer an explanation to
the police, But to no avail. It turns out
that sparklers (yes, folks, SPARKLERS)
are termed "fireworks" under the state
law, and sorry, folks, our friend was still
under arrest. After four policemen
debated for fifteen minutes ahout what
to do with him, they showed great
compassion by "letting him off this
time but still took his I.D. card and
kept it overnight.
Now I am all for police protection and
campus safety, but this is a bit much.
Technically, the police were doing their
job, I suppose, but I think there may
have been more violent criminals running
around for the campus cops to deal with
All I can say is that it certainly makes
me rest easier at night to know that our
campus police are busy protecting 11
from maniacal sparkler freaks who ,lr
violating fireworks laws
Yours for campus safety
