Instructional survey
evaluates professors
During his visit to the ECU campus last Thursday Robert Morgan Democratic candidate
for the US Senate, said that he would like to support the strengthening of all programs to
reorganize and supplement higher education.
Morgan said that it is time to tum legislation energies to other areas when asked about
the future of proposed medical schools or law schools at other universities in the
state. He explained that he and Walter B. Jones had introduced the ECU medical school
bill and fully support the future of the ECU medical school, but "It is time to move on to
other things concerning higher education" Morgan said.
Morgan explained that the ECU campus has changed since he came to school. A few
of the changes that Morgan supports included the co-ed dorms and free legal advise.
"Students that are interested in entering politics in the future should get involved in
government Morgan urged. Young people should get involved with campaigns and
elections if they are interested in politics of the future Morgan explained.
tinders classroom communications
ByJIMDODSON
Staff Writer
How would you like to tel? your
professors exactly what you think of
them? Well, you might have the
opportunity to do just that sometime this
week as many professors and students on
campus will be participating in a
questionaire survey sponsored by the
Instructional Survey Committee.
MAIN OBJECTIVES
The course survey will run from April
29th to May 4th. The questionaires are
presently being sent out to faculty
members who earlier indicated that they
would like to participate in the
project. They will be distributed to
students who in turn will make some
evaluation of the teacher, and his or her
methods in the classroom.
Dr. Richard Mauger, Geology professor
and chairman of the committee suggests
two main objectives in the survey. Pri-
marily, it is a means by which the student
may comment (in strict confidence, of
course) on their instructors, who in tum
may make some sort of self-evaluation in
an effort to improve the classroom
situation. Secondly, the evalutions may
be used to help determine the recipient of
the "Outstanding Teacher" award given
annually by the Alumni Association.
Besides the two main objectives, Dr.
Mauger said that the survey will hopefully
indicate some of the other factors that
influence student response in the
classroom.
HIGH COST
"There are a number of things that may
contribute to the students response such
as the size of the class, sex of the teacher
and time of day when the class is
taught. These are the types of things we're
interested in finding out Mauger added.
The Instructional Survey Committee
was established four years ago. However,
the last questionaire they sent out was two
years ago due to the relatively high costs
involved with the project. The original
format cor listed of seven questions
Now, with tt aid of the Faculty Senate
and the administration, the questionaire
has been expanded to include a broader
scope of questions. With regard to survey
expenses Dr. Susan McDaniel, assist
provost, said:
"Ideally we would like to see this done
on a quarterly basis, but unfortunately the
expense is fantastic, and we're certainly in
no position do it that often. I think if we
can establish it on an annual basis we'll be
in good shape
Expenses are not the only concern of
committee members. Since the beginning
there has been somewhat of a controversy
over whether or not the results of the
survey should be published and made
available to the public. Many faculty
members object to the possibility of the
results being made public and feel that the
administration would use the findings to
determine salary increases or decreases.
Most of the committee members, who are
faculty and students alike, feel that the
results should be published.
STRICT CONFIDENCE
"I think the students would like to see
them made public Mauger commented.
"My attitude is that there is no point in
collecting ail tnis information if it's going
to be kept secret
Presently all information is held in
strictest confidence and not made
available even to the administration. Mike
Edwards, one of the student members of
the committee, agneed that the results
should be made public.
"I think if professors are sincere about
this thing it will help them upgrade their
teaching Edwards said. "I think that
students should be able to see the
results. It would help them find out which
professors are better suited for their
particular needs before they sign up for a
class
FUTURE
When asked about the future of the
committee's survey, Dr. Mauger suggested
that they would like to see it done on an
annual basis. In doing so, it would enable
the students to evaluate their teachers
more often, and hopefully create a better
understanding by the professor of the
student's needs.
Campus noise draws many complaints
3
By CAROLYN DAVIS
Staff Writer
As lawnmowers crank up between 8:00
a.m. and 4:30 p.m. all over campus,
students are sure to be reminded that
spring has really returned to Greenville.
But along with thoughts of spring and
small of freshly cut grass brought on by
the ECU 'awnmowers come the complaints
and the shutting of windows in
already-stuffy classrooms.
Professors and students alike voice
complaints each spring as the
lawnmowers cruise past directly under
windows during class hours.
"It's hard to have student-teacher
communication with the noise outside.
And our primary concern here at college is
to learn. To learn, we must communi-
cate commented Dr. Alfred Wang,
professor of English at ECU.
Wang, like other professors on
campus, is sometimes disturbed by the
noise of the mowers under the windows.
His classes at times are disrupted by the
noise and windows must be shut or he
must speak in a much louder tone to carry
on his lectures.
Wang feels that there must be some
way of avoiding the cutting of grass
directly under classroom windows during
teaching hours, especially during the
prime hours, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
However, he, like many other
professors and students, have no
solutions to offer the grass-cutters, since
he is unfamiliar with the workings of the
grass-cutting teams.
Wang is not antagonistic in his
thoughts of a better plan, just hopeful.
"I don't have a solution because I don't
know how things ere arranged to have the
grass cut. I don't have any answers
because it's not under my jurisdiction, the
hiring and paying of the men who cut the
grass. I don't know how that works
Wang said.
The situation seems to be the best
possible, however, acccording to James J.
Lowry, director of the physical plant and
Doug Caldwell, superintendent of the
grounds and maintenance on ECU.
Speaking of the complaints concerning
cutting grass, both Lowry and Caldwell
said they were "well aware of it
"We here the same complaints every
year as soon as we start cutting grass
said Lowry. Continued on page five.

SGA appropriates $1000 to
Minority Affairs booklet
By BARBARA TURNER
Staff Writer
The SGA appropriation for $1,000
awarded to Minority Affairs was discussed
in an interview by Maurice Huntley,
secretary of Minority Affairs.
The SGA appropriation is for two
booklets; one to inform the ECU campus of
present minority contributions and the
second is to be used in admissions and
recruitment of minority students.
"The two booklets can do much to help
bring about student awareness of minority
students Huntley added. "It is a very
surprising thing to find out how alienated
our campus is
The booklets will be distributed to all
present administrators and other interest-
ed persons. "They will let all of eastern
North Carolina, as well as ECU, know that
minority life does exist at ECU and in a
very positive manner stated Huntley.
The booklets are now in the editing
stage. Huntley gave credit for a major
portion of the first booklet to Connie R.
Knight, editor and "backbone of its
existence
The first booklet will probably be out by
the fourth week of April and the second
booklet will be out by the third week of
May.
Many questions are asked in the
passing of such an appropriation. Huntley
said, "The validity of such an endeavor was
questioned by our legislators. I'm sure
that they would be more than happy to
hear that the booklets are well on their
way
"I hope that the booklets will be well
distributed and that each student that
wishes to be knowledgable of campus
activities will take full advantage of this
opportunity Huntley added, "However
dull minority life may seem at ECU, until
those persons on whom final decisions
rest become aware of the lack of minority
activity at ECU there will be fewer minority
students recruited, less minority partici-
pation in campus activities and eventually
a total sense of apathy. Then the need to
adhere to the wants and needs of the
minority student outside of his academic
life will be met, for if they are not,
popularity of our university shall dwindle
"In conclusion Huntley said, "I
sincerely hope that each and every student
enjoys the publication

SGA rumor
By SUSAN QUINN
Assistant News Editor
The SGA has $4,654 left to spend this
year rather than a supposed $87,000
according to treasurer, Bill Beckner in a
report to the SGA legislature Monday.
Beckner explained that the legislature
does have an amount of $87,000 of
retained earnings which is assets minus
liabilities, or the amount of the total worth
of the things th?t the SGA owns and is not
available, spendable cash.
In other business of the SGA the
legislature passed a constitutional
amendment which will allow the graduate
students of ECU to be represented by class
officers.
The legislature also voted to
appropriate $1,000 to the Dean of Men for
expenses of student participants during
the Summer Orientation.

For non-fiction prose
Lawler prepares magazine
By JIM KYLE
Staff Writer
Dr. Donald Lawler, associate professor
of English at ECU, is in the process of
forming a new magazine - "Studief in
Prose" a scholastic journal of
non-fiction literary prose.
The purpose of such a magazine,
according to Dr. Lawler, is "to stimulate
further reading and study of non-fiction
prose He feels that the magazine will
give people the opportunity to engage in
the "art of reading and art of thinking
Dr. Lawler sees "an erosion of interest
in the study and competenpe of literary
prose He feels that people have
developed an "unwillingness to do serious
thinking It is hoped that through this
DR. DONALD LAWLER
magazine he can create a "renaissance in
writing and thinking, here and elsewhere
The contents of the magazine,
designed to "stir the blood and keep the
mind working will consist of: literary
criticisms, articles of literary scholarship
�����������

���������������
and articles concerned with teaching
literary prose. Dr. Lawler is not sure
whether original articles of a non-critical
nature will be included but, at the present,
he "doesn't see any chance of that
One of the main features of the
magazine, according to Dr. Lawler, will be
a yearly bibliography of scholastic
prose. He feels that this type of
bibliography is badly needed.
"I expect enthusiasm and a high level
of acceptance once this thing is
launched says Dr. Lawler. He hopes to
get support from librarians, students and
teachers in this attempt "to provide an
outlet for new ideas and thinking, and
reverse the decline of prose study
Money is the main concern of Dr.
Lawler right now. The cost of producing
the magazine will be about $2,000 per
issue at 1,000 copies of 100 pages
each. However, Dr. Lawler says that
$330-$500 will be needed before the
manuscript comes into the office for
approval. This money is used for sending
out announcements of the magazine and
calling for manuscripts.
The magazine has no positive source of
revenue right now. It is getting no
university support. Dr. Lawler is attempt-
ing to get grants from both the federal
government and private foundations. He
seems pessimistic about either of these
sources, however. He plans to ask the
Graduate Research Council for a "modest
amount" mainly to cover mailing costs.
Dr. Lawler says that he plans to
"scrounge around" until he has enough
money, possible including some of his
own. Mrs. Lucy Wright is assisting Dr.

Lawler in his search of funds.
Despite the present money problems,
Dr. Lawler feels that the magazine can
"probably break even in two to three
years Fivervundred initial subscribers is
a "realistic figure" according to Dr. Lawler,
and the figure will "hopefully grow over the
years
The magazine, which will be non-profit,
will be independent after it begins to break
even except for the use of university
postage meters and other machines too
expensive for the magazine association to
buy for itself.
The creation of an editorial board for
the magazine is another concern. Dr.
Lawler has already written several
colleagues who have said that they "would
be delighted" to assist in such an endeavor
because they agree that such a magazine
is needed.
"We will be doing extremely well if we
can get something ready by the end of the
calendar year said Dr. Lawler. The best
time for getting subscriptions is during the
fall and winter he explained. Also, since
most scholars have extra time to work over
the summer, the fall is the best time for
obtaining manuscripts.
Dr. Lawler hopes to be able to produce
a "mock-up" magazine some time in tlte
fall or early winter.

Campus noise
Continued from page one.
Lowry explained the skeleton schedule
the grass-cutters are asked to follow. "The
grass-cutting crews come in an hour
earlier, at 8:00 a.m. They get the areas
around the parking lots where the cars
overhand and get close to the academic
buildings with small mowers. But one
hour a day is just not enough
MOWERS
There are three basic types of
mowers used by the crew, according to
Lowry. The small hand mowers are used
to trim around the buildings and are "the
most troublesome as far as students and
teachers are concerned
Secondly, there are the Yazoo riding
mowers that "cut fairly close said Lowry.
Finally, the large tractor mowers are
used in the wide open spaces such as
fields.
Caldwell also commented that "we try
to cut close around classrooms between
7:00 and 8:00 but it just can't be done. It
used not to be so difficult, but they kept
building classroom buildings closer
together
Ten men make up the grass-cutting
crew. For those men there are 13 dailable
mowers of all three varieties. With these
facilities Caldwell attempts to get the
grass cut once a week.
The once-a-week cutting is under ideal
situations, says Caldwell. This can be
done only when weather permits and
when all 13 mowers are in good working
condition.
With all 10 men cutting grass each day
of the working week eight hours a day, the
grass on all parts of the campus can be
cut.
"It takes a 40-hour week of ten men
cutting grass to get it done said
Caldwell.
WORKING SCHEDULED
Along with other ECU workers, the
grass-cutting crew has gone to the new
schedule utilizing a 30 minute lunch
break. The men who come in to cut grass
at 7:00 a.m. now get off at 3:30 in the
afternoon.
Even with the few afternoon hours that
are not used, schedules which vary from
the set 7:00 to 3:30 cannot be put into
effect according to both Lowry and
Caldwell.
Responding to the idea of a split
schedule of both morning and late
afternoon hours with no mid-day work,
Lowry said "the Federal Wage and Hour
Act would take a dim view of letting them
(the workers) come in in the morning, take
a few hours off at lunch time, and be back
on the job later in the afternoon
THESE ARE THE feet of ECU student Bobby Myrick or couldn't you tell? Flip-flops are back in style with the recant 70
But the, even, would it be fair to blast
the ears of those with 8:00 and afternoon
classes? And what about those people
who have labs until 5:00 and 6:00 in the
evening?"
Caldwell has also had ideas for other
schedules, none of which are practical for
the work that has to be done.
"We tried cutting grass at night once,
even. We hooked up lights on the tractors
for use in the larger areas with few
obstacles. But that didn't work. A lot of
times there was a large stick that couldn't
be spotted well by the lights, or a piece of
brick or rock. It was really more
dangerous, and the next day we could
always find a strip that had been missed
simply because we couldn't see it. The
expense that it would have taken to outfit
all the tractors with lights just wasn't
worth it he said.
"We also looked into the possibility of
electric lawnmowers. They're noiseless.
The only sound you'd hear would be the
grass falling. But they're just not
practical. The electric riding mowers are
too expensive, and they'll cut for only three
hours befor they run down. Then they
have to sit overnight to recharge for 16
hours
For those who like the look of grass on
campus, it seems the lawnmowers will
always be around.
"We could replace all the grass with
astroturf one person commented, "or
have an all-concrete campus and paint
parts of it green
For those who prefer real grass it
seems that Dr. Wang's thoughts are most
appropriate, "It's not that I'm against
cutting grass. I'm all for natural grass, and
when you have grass, it has to be mowed

EditorialsCommentary
Quiet unrevolution
The front page note about publications doesn't tell all - the full story will appear in
Thursday's Fountainhead. What happened is simple: only one candidate showed up for
the Rebel editorship, one for Fountainhead, and none at all for the Buccaneer.
Last Spring's screenings had at least three candidates for each editorship.ln fact, this
newspaper had five people pitching for the job. Screenings before that were generally
mobbed, with the Fountainhead editorship as the center of power and
controversy, people really wanted the job and stopped short of mayhem to get it.
From that, we've all descended to this point - no Buc candidate, the present Rebel
editor making sole bid for his own job, and one Fountainhead candidate. Are students
afraid of the jobs or afraid they won't get them? You're miserably wrong if you think all
editorship candidates are a cross between Joseph Pulitzer and Dostoevsky - chances are
that you're better off in comparison. There have been times when the Board had to
choose the least damaging of the dregs simply because timid, potentially good
candidates failed to show.
So what happened to the clamor for publications editorships? We at Fountainhead
like to think we're worth fighting for, and consider the small number of candidates a
grand insult.
Being more amenable: congratulations to Philip Arrington, Rebel editor for next year
(and this year), and to Diane Taylor, who will assume Fountainhead's editorship in
September. Both Philip and Diane are smashingly rational people with excellent senses
of humor and massive quantities of experience - and let's face it, when you're in
publications, the need for humor often outweighs the other two.
So now where are all the Buccaneer candidates? If the Pub Board has to -& p
begging for Buc editors as it did this year, getting one in mid-year to put out a $4C,f X
yearbook: God save the Buccaneer. If no one is interested enough to edit it,
cancellation micht be the only alternative.

Return of FDR
BY SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER
If President Eisenhower's 1957
budget was-as I charged at the time- a
"dime-store New Deal President Nixon's
recent budget proposal is a giant
conglomerate of those old deficit-spend-
ing messages offered by F.D.R. in the
1930s.
The spending program estimated by
the Administration for fiscal 1975 is an
unbelievable $304 billion. The Eisenhower
budget I got so worked up about amounted
to a mere $71.8 billion.
Even allowing for enormous inflation,
there is no way a comparison can be drawn
between thse two fiscal programs.
I was not crying "wolf" when I charged
that Ike's budget would set a course that
eventually might put the United States out
of business. I not only called "??ention to
a denial of Republican camp; n pledges
and an appalling rate of peacetiine federal
expenditures but I wared abci a trend in
the vote-garnering process which I felt
could destroy America.
Can any reasonable observer doubt the
truth of that warning in light of conditions
today? How are we to obtain the money
for this Nixon budget without destroying
the national economy? The money does
not exist now in the Treasury, and I doubt
whether a huge tax increase would be
accepted by the Congress or the people.
We are in real trouble with our
monetary system, our fiscal affairs and our
attempts to maintain the private enterprise
system as a free and unhampered segment
of society. This was understood perfectly
just two years ago (before the Watergate
disclosures) when President Nixon's 1973
budget bristled with proposals for putting
the federal government back on a sensible
fiscal track.
That budget proposed the reduction or
abolition of unnecessary social programs
financed by the taxpayers. It envisioned
liberal use of the presidential veto on
spending measures. It promised rigorous
enforement of spending ceilings and the
impoundment of monies unwisely voted by
the Democrat Congress.
All of these good resolutions ol the
past are gone. The 1975 budget calls for a
drastic "change of a change" in direction.
Some liberal columnists have accused
the President of playing up to
congressional conservatives in the hope
that they might fight his possible
impeachment. They base their case on the
appointment of one of two people to
federal jobs who can be identified as
conservatives. In view of the $304 billion
budget and the concessions it makes to
the entire liberal philosophy of "handout"
government, this accusation is downright
laughable.
President Nixon in his latest budget
message has drawn a blueprint to solve
national problems by "throwing money at
thema tendency he used to ridicule and
condemn.
Is America's middle class being
pushed to the wall? Is it in danger of
losing its status as the most powerful and
important group of American citizens?
This question would have been laughed
off the financial pages by acknowledged
economic experts just a few years
ago. Today it is being given serious
attention.
Prof. John C. Raines of Temple
University is one of the latest experts to
question the staying power of the group
which calls itseld "middle" in the
American economic equation. Prof.
Raines says the American middle class is
going nowhere and "neither are its kids
The debate has bean going on since the
ravages of inflation began seriously
affecting the non-rich. But the latest
discussion goes right to the heart of the
question of economic class tenure-to the
problem middle-class Americans now
encounter in attempting to pay for their
children's college education.
Raines, in an interview with Robert J.
Donovan of the Los Angeles Times, put it
this way:?
"The idea has taken hold that part of
being middle-class parents means they are
going to send their kids to college. But,
increasingly, people who are middle class
cannot finance their kids' college
education and are doing it on loans. But
they can't even get federally guaranteed
loans after their income rises above a
certain level
Few economists and certainly no
middle-class Americans with college-age
youngsters will argue with Raines'
facts. But when he offers a solution he
becomes the center of controversy over
American tax policy. He believes the way
to preserve the "middle-class" is through a
fairer distribution of wealth.
Taking it a step further, Raines believes
such a distribution is dependent upon a
more equitable sharing of the nation's tax
burden. He contends that taxes and other
benefits are rigged in favor of "the
ownership class To prove this point,
Raines argues that taxes on wages and
salaries (practically the whole source of
middle-class income) are much higher
than captial gaines taxes on stock, to say
nothing of tax-free revenue from state and
municipal bonds.
The professor views the tax structure
as an "exploitation of the middle-class
Business economists insist there is no
"tax rigging" in favor of any class, that
capital gains are taxed at a lesser rate than
ordinary income. The reason, they insist, j
is to enable all citizens to use their capital
for investments-the establishment of I
business enterprises which provide jobs
and a productivity so necessary to meet
the wants of all citizens.

Bicycles
To Fountainhead:
In response to Cathe Toohill, I have to
disagree with her opinion concerning the
law pertaining to lightless bikes. I am
principally an automobile driver. My auto
goes at least three times the speed of a
bicycle. It weighs over 100 times the
amount of a bicycle. However, a bicycle
has the same rights as an auto. As a
matter of fact, it probably has more
rights. A court is going to be more
sympathetic to a bicycle rider than an
automobile driver if an accident occurs
betweeen the two.
As a result, there should be some
protection for the automobile driver. A
headlight and good reflection on a bicycle
provide this protection. I would hate to be
the person to have an accident with a
bicycle and have to say "I didn't see it
During my two years here, I have had
two close calls with unlighted
bikers. They were not pleasant exper-
iences. Fortunately, they were just close
calls.
I am also a pedestrian. There is
nothing more disturbing than to walk in
the road and have an unlighted bicycle
graze my fanny. A bicycld goei
approximately 5 times the speed of a
pedestrian.
Since bikes have the same rights as
automobiles they should also share the
same responsibilities. Even if a bicycle
rider doesn't care whether he or she is
creamed all over the road, it should be
considered that the preson that creams
them will suffer much psychologically.
I hope that the law will be enforced to
the utmost at ECU. The penalty for
violation is small compared to the risk the
bicycle rider runs by hot abiding by this
law.
Let there be light,
Gary Salt
Smoking
To Fountainhead:
I read with great interest the letter from
Harry Youngblood who stated his feelings
on "Smoking Sitting in the classroom
trying to concentrate on a test while rotten
smelling smoke is invading your lungs is
one of the most annoying and disgusting
habits in the world. I don't mine ANYONE
smoking in their dorm, or in the confines
of their own home, but when in a
classroom with other students this habit is
truly inconsiderate. I am one of those
people who is allergic to smoke and feel
that there should be a law against smoking
in the classroom. I can understand that it
is a very enjoyable habit to some, but
really! The air is certainly dirty enough as
it is, so next time please, smoker, make
sure you are not infringing another's right
to breathe clean air when you light up a
cigarette. Harry Youngblood said it best
when he said, "Not smoking is or should
be a right wherea smoking is or should be
no more than a privilege, at the proper
time, in an appropriate place I would
truly appreciate some consideration on the
part of all you ECU smokers. Thank you.

Toughing it out
By TRISTRAM COFFIN
THE TOUGH QUESTION - In a new
turn of the screw, Washington faces the
real question, the tough one. Can the US
stand three more yoars of Richard Nixon?
Nixon has convinced himself, at least,
he can tough it out - using the courts and
Republicans on the House Judiciary
�2�H' fmm WB �� �nf to FOUNTAINHEAO wtt. tt� MM
printed below,
To Fountainhead:
I hope you had a swell evening last
night. Even if it wasn't the greatest blast
you ever had, at least you were
constructive. Just look at all the art work
floating about our town this morning.
Who could help but notive white weeping
willows where once stood lofty green
elms. As for that orange Muncho's bag I
found, that added just the right accent of
contrast. And how elemental of you to
remember the empty beer bottle, the
finishing tough of your collage.
Oh, by the way, what is the name of
your artistic endeavor? Is it "litterbug
Lazy "Garbage Avant Garde or just
plain "Trash"? Please forgive me if I sound
a bit upset when I ask why - why it was
necessary to pollute our enviornment with
your party - not that I'm against parties,
people or play. But I am against wasted
energy, especially today. Just think of all
the bottoms that could have been wiped,
the bleeding feet that could have remained
whole, and your own money that could
have gone for another party - if it hadn't
had to pay the taxes towards out state's
litter fund.
Thanks for reading,
Cathy Davis
P.S. When you're through reading the
paper, please don't forget to recycle it.
a
Committee to delay impeachment,
strategy filled with grave portents as
columnists Evans and Novak put it. The
tactic - refuse to give key information to
the Committee, and force it into legal
battles, "a blocking, stalling, delaying
action in the most blatant tradition of a
smart lawyer's play for time
Our forecast is this strategy will fail,
and GOP Congressional leaders, in panic,
will serve an ultimatum on Nixon. He
must resign or fact a strong Republican
vote for impeachment. No one can predict
what his answer will be; it may depend on
so fragile a factor as his mood that
morning.
The perils of Nixon filling out his term
can be listed.
A collapse of what any government
needs, public trust, and a disillusionment
with the system of democratic government
and private enterprise. A Maryland
suburban housewife asks in agony, "What
do I tell my children?" In other words, how
do you create and hold faith in democracy,
honesty, and hard work when the
Administration makes a daily mockery of
it?
A Chicago housewife tells Newsweek,
"We have become a nation of sheep and we
are being screwed at every turnThe
President pays laughably little taxes
Your rich landlord probably paid less than
you. Cpaital gains, write-offs, loopholes.
"Everyone acknowledges that only the
middle-average-poor get the tax shaft .I
am tired of being hopelessly debt-ridden
while the rich and super-rich and the
politicians go skiing (did you notice our
new Vice-President happily giving
interviews on the snowly slopes of
Colorado?). Why, if indeed there is a
shortage of gaoline, were the huge oil
companies allowed to raise their prices to
compensate for the reduced supply? We
are fools because we have uncomplaining-
ly let the big-money interests take over the
country If we elect almost an 'ordinary'
person - that is, not a millionaire - to high
office (like Agnew), he winds up with his
hand out for money; and if we elect
millionaires, how can they know or care
about the ordinary needs of ordinary
people?"
Potomac magazine quotes an angry
business man who couldn't get a cab on a
rainy night, "The only way this is going to
end is to take all these guys out and cut
their throats
If this mood erupts into violence,
President Nixon will use repressive
measures, and Washington will be a mirror
of Moscow, Athens and Saigon.
THE DOMESTIC SCENE - A further
collapse of government decision and
service seems inevitable. It has ignored
economic troubles, with Nixon pouring out
soothing syrup.
The economic forecase is grim with
Nixon in office, for public confidence is
needed for an upturn. The prospect would
be for inflation and unemployment
doubled, a monetary "fire storm" says the
Economic Behavior Institute, more
shortages, long and hard strikes as labor
tries to recover buying power, and small
investors wipes out in stock market
losses. George Meany says workers will
need "at least a ten percent pay boost to
keep up with inflation

and dance which is being scheduled in
conjunction with the Black Arts Festival
will be held in Wright Auditorium on April
27, 1974 at 10:00 p.m.
The group combines two elements in
their performance that has placed them in
great demand. First of all, they are a vocal
group. The vocal group known as the
Communicators blends harmony and
outstanding rhythmic steps to create a
powerful sound and outstanding show-
manship. The second distinctive element
is the Black Experience Band. The funky
sound of the rhythm section has been
known to make you get "into the groove"
and "on the move These two elements
combined make for a soulful experience
that will long be remembered.
The Communicators and Black
Experience Band is an old but new
group. The members have been playing
together for a number of years, but they're
relatively new to the recording world. The
Communicators recently released a double
hit single that will purely make people take
notice. Their hit single "One Chance" is a
soft moving, soulful melody, but the flip
side "Is It Funky Enough For You is a
driving piece of rhythm and blues at its
best. It is this kind of variety that has
made this group so popular. The
reportoire ranges from rock to Bach but
their speciality is soul.
The Communicators and Black
Experience Band have been compared to
many groups including Kool and the Gang
and the Temptations. The group realizes
that these comparisons are unrealistic.
Their styles are similar, but the
Communicators have not yet reached this
stage of musical development but they're
well on their way.
As the name of the group would
indicate, the Communicators try to
communicate a message, and that
message concerns the black experience.
Their medium is music, soul music, music
which moved you to respond, driving
music.
The "jam session" is being sponsored
by the Special Concerts Committee and is
free. If soul music is your bag, then come
out and do your thing.

The huge rock at the end of Graham
wilding has caused quite a bit of interest
rom students and nearby citizens. The
oulder which was delivered to the ECU
ampus exactly one month after its find by
ie Geology Department came from a rock
uarry near Princeton, North Carolina.
On March 16, a group of geology
rofessors, graduate students and several
ndergraduates visited the quarry owned
Nello L. Teer Company. It was here
ley discovered this unusual boulder.
They decided to rescue the rock
ecause it had several unusual
matures. According to Ed. Slagle, a
Bology graduate student, it is unique
ause it has "roundish splotches and
Is The rock is a porpharobastic
iiss. It is a metamorphic rock meaning
at it has been changed by heat or
pressure. "A good time to look at the rock
is during the rain Slagle said. "This is a
good time because the rains makes seeing
the bands easier
Before the boulder was transported to
campus it was weighted at the quarry. The
boulder weighs six tons and measures
eight feet by four feet.
After the initial decision to rescue the
boulder, Mr. DillardTeer, Vice-President of
the Company, which owned the quarry,
donated the boulder and provided its
transportation to Greenville. When the
Geology Department obtained the
permission of the administration the
boulder was moved from the quarry to
Greenville. Slagle said the boulder may be
pushed over on a different side so that its
texture can be better shown.
Plans are to have a plaque placed on
the boulder with the date and place of its
findings. Presently no one has come up
with a name for the boulder.

'vrst: Young blacks are hope for nationality
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
Dr. Charles G. Hurst, former president
f Malcolm X University, spoke on campus
ist Thursday on "Educational Revolution:
ie Black Solution
Dr. Hurst blamed the lack of
nderstanding of blacks by whites on the
iilure of our educational system. "The
ledia perpetuates feelings of white
uperiority over black inferiority' he
aid. "Cynicism on the part of blacks
ught not be surprising
Hurst feels that the young blacks today
re the ultimate hope for black
ationality. Blacks are constantly divided
rith irrelevancies. As an example, he
ited Floyd McKissick, the black founder
Soul City and a staunch Nixon
upporter. Hurst felt that blacks ought not
e concerned with McKissick's party
(filiation. McKissick is working day and
ight trying to build a city, he said.
Dr. Hurst said that white women
hrough Women's Liberation) were at this
oint, in the great advantage to take
riorities toward equal rights. He did not
iaborate on this point.
"Integration is a gesture of tokenism to
acify blacks he said. Blacks should
uit worrying about integration he
continued, and worry about our alienation
from each other. Dr. Hurst, however, does
not want an all black state or black
separatism. He feels that blacks should
be economically independent.
"William Shockley has said that all
blacks with IQ's under 100 ought to submit
to sterilization for money Shockley
contends that the government should be
willing to pay blacks the money since they
(the blacks) were not responsible for their
inferiority. Dr. Hurst called Shockley "a
new kind of red neck - an example of an
intellectual bigot (he holds a Ph.d.)
Dr. Hurst pointed out the need for more
black physicians. He rendered statistics
showing that more than 50 percent of ail
black doctors today are over the age of
50. "There is one black doctor for every
4,000 white doctors There is one black
lawyer for every 16,000 black people, he
pointed out.
Dr. Hurst called white attempts to get
blacks to accept the melting pot theory
while still discriminating is cultural
imperalism. "Whites go out of their way to
get other groups to behave like
them How do we change things?
"Violence is not the way - we don't have
the tools to start a revolution. Once
again, he cited Floyd McKissick as a
strong hold for a new black politics. He is
involved in community building. "There
must be a strong component of blacks in
the democratic and the republican
parties Blacks are fighting for the same
things within these parties.
"We must have the capability to love
and respect each other. We must have
people willing to make sacrifices, to know
the agonies of fear, and to spend sleepless
nights. Our greatest struggles are against
our own weaknesses, he said. Qt
greatest danger is ourselves. We must
assume a politics of self-reliance

Dr. Stephenson
Dr. Richard A. Stephenson, director of
Coastal and Marine Resources at ECU,
spoke to the recent annual meeting at the
Southeastern Section of the Geological
Society of America in Atlanta.
He spoke on "Beach Profile Changes
on Bodie Island, N.C in a session which
included other reports on nearshore
transport.
Dr. Stephenson's presentation showed
that while there is a loss of beach sand
during the winter high energy periods,
there is a build-up of sand during the low
energy summer periods.
However, there is an annual net loss of
sand, but this loss tends to decrease
toward the inlet, which is migrating in a
southwesterly direction.

Saturday afternoon at Harrington Field
the East Carolina baseball team moved one
step closer to the Southern Conference
pennant as they scalped William and Mary
12-2.
With the University of Richmond
dropping a doubleheader to Davidson, the
Spiders plummetted to third place with a
6-4 league record. Appalachian swept two
from the Citadel, upping their mark to 7-3,
but still behind the Pirate's 9-1 first place
position.
Three home runs one each by Ron
Staggs, Bobby Harrison and Johnny
Narron, led a 13 hit attack by the
Pirates. Dave "Doc" LaRussa saw his
field, sending a pair of Indian baserunners
home.
ECU regained the four run margin in the
home half of the inning. Hogan walked
and after Narron flied out, Harrison
clouted a two-run home run over the
left-center fhid fence. This made the
score 6-2.
In the fourth inning Beaston blasted a
ground rule double to left and scored on a
single by Staggs.
The Bucs increased their lead to 7-2 in
the fifth thanks to a solo blast by Narron
and added another in the sixth on a
round-tripper by Staggs.
The final three runs of the game were
tallied in the seventh by the Pirates. Rick
McMahon walked, and Tommy Fleetwood
entered the game as a courtesty runner.

Despite frustration in two relays the
East Carolina track team had its finest day
this season in the prestigious Mountaineer
Relays in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Trophies were given- to the first five
places and the Pirates returned with a
lion's share of them Saturday night.
Coach Bill Carson commented on the
trouble in the two sprint relays.
"In the 440 yd. relay we could have run
a 41.0 if we hadn't blown the first two
baton exchanges, and we still took
second. And in the 880 relays we ran 1:28
despite being disqualified for running out
of our lane on the baton exchange.
Maurice Huntley ran a tremendous 220 leg
of the half mile relay
Carson also noted the performance of
Larry Malone, who led off the 440 relay
team and finished second in both the long
and triple jump at 23'8 112" and 48' 112"
respectively.
Ivey Peacock, probably the greatest
weightman in ECU track history, added
more luster to his senior year.
The prospective medical student won
the discus with a heave of 148' and
finished third in the shot at 47'6
Tom Watson, the indoor Southern
Conference shotput champion, finished
second in that event with a throw of 49'6"
and fourth in the discus at 143'6 112
Gerald Klas won the three mile in a
tight race in a time of 13:57.1, setting a
new meet and track record. To qualify for
the NCAA championships Klas needs a
time of 13:50, and Carson sees his best
chance later in the season.
Carson said, "Jerry wasn't really
pressed by the field though a West Virginia
runner ran 14:00. I think May 11 when we
run in the Pitt Invitational in Pennsylvania
he'll qualify. Up there 45 schools are
entered and he'll have to run 14:00 just to
qualify for the finals
Al Kalamaja won the steeplechase for
the Pirates in 9:28.3, placing him among
the finest times in the state this year.
IP Sam Phillips finished second in the 120
yd. high hurdles in 14.3. Phillips was
leading the race until he hit the right hurdle
which cost him the race.
Other Pirate trophy winners were Al
McCrimmons' fourth in the high jump at
6'6 Willie Harvey's third at 237 12" in
the long jump and fourth at 44'4" in the
triple jump, and Glenn Russell's fifth in the
triple jump at 4A'0

ow,
lO
earned run average increase to 0.66, still
one of the best in the nation. The entire
ECU staff continued to be among the
country's best.
A four run first inning explosion off
Indian starter John Mileson got the
afternoon off to a fine start. Geoff
Beaston led off the game with a single up
the middle, Russ Smith doubled and
Staggs doubled to drive them both
in. Mike Hogan followed with a single to
send Staggs plateward. Harrison then
singled, with Hogan scoring as Harrison
was caught stealing second base.
William and Mary cut the Pirate lead to
4-2 in the top of the third inning when a
short blooper landed just fair in short right
Charlie Wall singled and Jack Elkins
walked. Fleetwood then scored when
Staffs reached on an error. Hogan and
Elkins then scored for the last two runs of
the game on a single by Hogan, making
the final score 12-2.
The Pirates were without the services
of regular shortstop Carl Summerell who
was in New York attending a meeting with
the NY Giants of the NFL.
The Pirates return to action Wednesday
at Richmond as they take aim at the
Southern Conference title. A doublehead-
er is scheduled at VMI Saturday, and the
Bucs return home on Monday, April 29, to
play The Citadel.
Offense put a smile on Pat Dye's face
Saturday as East Carolina completed its
m third week of spring football Saturday with
- a 90 minute scrimmage on "Kids Day
O Dye was smiling because "we showed
- some improvement offensively The
o Pirate offense moved the ball consistently
g behind the quarterbacking of three
prospects - Mike Weaver, Tom Chipok and
Bob Bailey and the running of a host of
backs including, Don Schink, Jesse
Ingram, Tom Daub, Ray Jones, Bobby
Myric, and Jimmy Howe.
"By improvement, I mean we executed
a little better and in the first half didn't
make as many mistakes in ball handling as
we have been. "The second half was a
little disappointing because we did make
some mistakes - fumbles and penalties -
and got a little tired on offense
"I think it is just a matter of growing
up Dye said. "We did not have a lot of
leadership on the field and we acted tired
when we shouldn't be tired
"I'm not saying that the defense looked
bad, I'm just saying that the offense
showed improvement. Our offense takes a
lot of work and repetition because there is
so much to learn. The defense has been
playing well and are a little bit ahead
"As far as mentioning people, I would
rather wait until we view the films. I will
say that there were some people out there
who really caught my eye. I'm kind of
anxious to see the films
The Pirates have two weeks of practice
remaining before the planned May 6
Purple-Gold in Ficklen Stadium. Seven
actual practice sessions will be scheduled
in the next two weeks with four sets this
week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
The Pirates apparently escaped the
serious injury jinx which has plagued the
tough spring practice sessions. No
injuries were reported Saturday other than
the always present bumps and bruises. To
date, Pete Conaty, Nelson Strother and
Gary Niklason have been lost for the spring
with various leg injuries while several
other players are playing but nursing
practice hurts.

The season begins anew today in the
Intramural aoftball as the top 24 teams
begin playoff competition. Winners of the
eight league races have drawn byes for the
opening round. After today's action,
winners in successive games will be
determined by best two-out-of-three
series. The campus championship this
year will be a best three-of-five affair.
Many teams deserve mention as
contendors for the campus crown. Among
the early betting favorites are Herb's
Superbs, the Royal Shafts, Kappa Sigma
Pi Kappa Phi, the Camels, and Phi Epsilon
Kappa.
The intramural tennis tournament will
be held next Monday.
The golf tournament, hosted by the
Ayden Golf and Country Club, will also
begin on Monday. The cost is $2 per
person. Only four-man teams will be
allowed to enter the 36-hole event. Both
individual and team trophies will be
awarded.
The humiliation of defeat continued to
bedevil the East Carolina tennis team as
they were exorcised by the Davidson
Wildcats on Saturday afternoon, 9-0.
The Pirates failed to capture a single
set against the powerful 'Cats and they
managed to take only one set past the
sixth game
The setback dropped the Bucs' season
record to 3-7 overall. They were scheduled
to meet the University of North
Carolina-Wilmington yesterday.

seemed to be justified. McMahon said the
team's position in the Southern
Conference standings has an important
extra meaning, in that being on top, "it just
isn't as easy to get up for the
non-conference games as before
"We may not be as ready to play the
non-conference opponents now said
McMahon. "With the added importance
now on conference games, now that we're
yn top, i really wonder if we're as ready to
Dlay .because the conference games
�nean so much more
McMahon, a 5-11,185-pound senior, is

McMahon explained. "Catching, you
contribute a lot to the pitching staff. And
after all, isn't pitching 75 or 80 percent of
the game?"
McMahon admitted that he was prone
to indulge in "mind games" while
preparing for a coming game. The
physical part of catching has become
easier as a senior, McMahon said, since
the coaches have kept everyone in
shape. However, in every new game, there
still comes that one basic battle that
makes baseball a great game: hitting.
McMahon's contribution to the team can
be found in looking at pitching statistics,
which show the Bucs to have given up only
20 earned runs in 177 and one-third
innings.
"I feel that the skills involved in hitting
a baseball are among the most challenging
in any sport said McMahon. "Not only
do you have to hit a sphere being thrown at
you at around 90 miles per hour with a
two-inch surface of a cylinder, but you
have to hit it somewhere besides where
nine people can catch it
McMahon, laughingly, said he was not
offering the technical explanation as an
excuse for his .232 batting average; rather,
in keeping with his own personality, he
said his concentration comes in handling
the Buc pitchers.
"Every pitcher, as well as every player,
is a different case said McMahon. "A
catcher who has the perception on how to
handle pitchers effectively can make
pitching either a pleasure or a pain .it
just depends on the individual
After his college days are over, which
will be in May, McMahon will marry Miss
Shirley Bledsoe, and is set to go to work
teaching and coaching at Southern Nash
High School. In class, he will teach
sociology and psychology, and will work
as assistant football coach, and more
importantly, head baseball coach. This,
too, should suit McMahon. Because as
he put it "there's nothing in the world
like being able to make a positive
contribution to someone's life
"It's usually hard to help someone
when you get so used to just worrying
about yourself said McMahon. "But
since I've been in school, I've had a handful
of instructors that have influenced me in a
positive way. I'm glad I'm getting the chance
to do the same for someone else. That's
the type person I've always admired; one
who can give joy to others
One of the instructors McMahon spoke
of, Tom Eamon, is now president of the
Young Democrats Club of North
Carolina. McMahon had an introductory
political science course under Eamon, a
move which furthered the Buc catcher's
interest in the educational opportunities at
ECU.
"I had been interested in politics,
coming from the D.C. area said
McMahon. "Up there, though many don't
think about it, the news is both local and
national at the same time
McMahon, who came to East Carolina
University because of the reputation of the
baseball program, said he found an
additional benefit upon arrival: a school
of the right size, and people of the right
mixture.
"I would sell East Carolina in terms of
the size, and in terms of getting a chance
to meet people from all walks of life said
McMahon. "Here, you get the closeness
of a small school and the variety of a larger
one
As team "spokesman" for the Bucs on
the field, McMahon said he felt one of his
chief duties was to pep the team up when
"in a hole In 1975, when the Buc
ironman backstop is gone, the Pirates will
have an even larger "hole" to fill; the one
behind home plate.
