Top name groups are sought
By T.K. SULLIVAN
Staff Writer
Major Attractions, the Student
Government Association Committee
responsible for bringing top-name bands
to the ECU campus, has announced
intentions to try to book America for
Homecoming weekend
Members of the Committee warned that
while they were doing their best to get the
man America, no final agreement has
heen made yet. “We have an option on
them,” it was reported, “but they haven't
given us a final word yet.”
At the Sept. 18 maeting the Committee,
chaired by Bill Womble, laid to rest a
rumor that Elton John had been booked. “
want the students to know that we tried to
get him. We're trying to get the top-name
groups.” Reports had been circulating of
late that the big name performer of such
milion-selliers as “Goodbye Yellow Brick
Road” and “Caribou” would be coming to
ECU this year
We're at the mercy of the acts
themselves,” continued Major Attractions
Advisor Paul Brietman. “If we could book
him (Elton John) we would. But artists as
big aS he is can now pick their own
spots. They no longer have to go on tour,
ust play where they like - a one-night
stand, let's say, at the Astrodome or
Madison Square Garden.” Brietman added
that Elton John's promoters wouldnt even
yucte them a price
Most superstars use promoters and go
for large cities,” stated Womble, “where
they can pull from 17,000 to
20,000. There's less hassie and more more
money involved going to these places
instead of colleges
The Committee, made up of seven
students and an advisor cites this lack of
group availability which has hit the market
in the last few years as their major
problems. Many groups are playing
hard-to-get, or simply don’t tour regularly,
making the work of Major Attractions that
much harder
“We have to deal in realities,”
explained Brietman. “We can't deal
through a wishing we We get who we
can. It may not be our first choice, but it
was the one available.”
There are other considerations and
added probiems for the students on the
Committee
“Many of the acts don't even answer,”
remarked Vicki Cunningham. “We have to
consider the size of the hall, too. And the
location is an important factor. We're 90
miles from Raleigh. Now, if we were 90
miles from Atlanta
Funds are not the largest worry. The
Major Attractions Committee, according to
Womble, “was set up three to four
years ago with a budget of $40

theme based on the 50's were the main topics
Kdiscussed at yesterday's Homecom Steering Committee, chaired by Wade Hobgood.
There's only a verbal agreament 1 “America,” Hobgood said, but the Committee is
optimistic about having the group on campus.
Although a definite title theme has not been decided, the committee voted to accept
the idea of the 50's. A subcommittee will determine the exact title.
Homecoming, planned for the week of Oct. 28, will also feature a dance, concert by
the ECU School of Music, parade, football game, film festival of cartoons, and an alumni
The voting and crowing of two queens — Miss Soul and Miss ECU — will also be
The dance, scheduled for Thursday of Homecoming Week for ECU students and
lalumnni, will feature “The Drifters”, “The Spontanes”, and “The Shirailes.” Contracts
have been signed on the latter two groups
There will be a parade Saturday of Homecoming weekend before the football
game. interested fraternities should turn in commitment sheets for their float to Dr
Charlies Q. Brown, Director of Institutional Develooment or Wade Hobgood, Chairman of
thousand.” The money is in a revolving
fund, meaning that the goal of ticket
money from any concert is to replace the
original cost
“We don't try to make a profit, we just
break even and hold onto our origina)
sum,” said Brietman. Thus, no new
money is put in the account from SGA
funds
Part of the Committee's problem, they
agreed, was lack of communication with
the student body at large. The students,
they reported, do not realize the problerns
of getting big-name acts, or understand
why some of the favorites such as Elton
John or Jonn Denver, can't be gotten. “We
go by trial and error,” summed up one of
the members. “We try to get the best we
can, but it's a seliers market now, not a
buyer's.”
“It's very disheartening for the people
on this Committee,” stated Brietman.
They come in with ideas and suggestions
for big groups we can't get. That tends to
break the bubbie.” He added, “the
students are down on them, but they are
very conscientious, and the student body
is well represented. But it is frustrating
All we want is for everyone to give us a
chance.”
America, the band under consideration
but not yet signed up, is a folk rock band
which has had several hit singles and
albums in the last 3 years, including
“Horse With No Name” and “Ventura
Highway”. The fee they would get if
booked was not disclosed, although ticket
prices wouid have to be set accordingly
Chairman Womble reported that the
Committee is open to suggestions or
comments from the students. Room 233

Intercom offers students 24 hour service
By NANCY HARTIS
Staff Writer
According to Clifton G. Moore, Vice
Chancellor for Business Affairs, there are
two main reasons for the installation of the
new paging systems in the women s dorms
at ECU. First of all, Moore explained, “We
ould not afford to hire the student
hostesses on duty eighteen hours a day
The second reason, he added, was that the
new systems offered the students 24 hour
i day service, whereas the previous system
1 uSINg student hostesses to page women
juring visitation hours did not
Moore explained that this service was
reated “primarily for the convenience of
the girls He added that “the results of
this system are twofold. there is 4 savings
to the students occupying the dorms, and
there is a Continuous paging service

Chancellor for Business Affairs, compared
the cost of the new system to the cost o!

night's figures, based on the 1973-74 year
were $9603 for one year with he
ntercoms. and $38,597 was the cost of
hiring students for one year. Obviously
this indicates savings for the women HVving
in ECU dorms
Another
according to Carolyn A
reason for the switch

By BARNEY BOWLES
Associate Dean of Student Affairs for
Women, was complaints against the
student hostesses. After testing the
system last year in Clement and Umstead,
and after receiving no complaints either
mechanical or from the students, the final
decision was made. So far, this year,
Dean Fuighum has received only one
complaint: a case of vandalism, resulting
in the loss of the intercom on one floor of
Clement dorm
However, even though Daan Fulghum
has received no complaints from the
students, a random poll of the students

Total enrollment is witheld
By GRETCHEN R. BOWERMASTER
Staff Writer
The total ECU student enroliment for
1974-75, higher than any year in the
school's history, will be secret until Oct.
1. On that date the figure will be officially
released, and everyone can stop guessing.
University officials, under instruction
from ECU Chancellor .e0 Jenkins, say that
any estimate would be preliminary and
inaccurate.
“Our budget is based on actual student
enroliment,” said John H. Home, Dean of
Admissions. “If the people in Raleigh pick
up conflicting figures, they'll question our
official tabulation.”
REASONS GIVEN
Enroliment is up, and according to
Robert Ussery, Director of Institutional
Research, the following reasons can only
be conjectural :
Many new and timely programs are
being offered this year, such as Allied
Health, Social Science programs, Marine
Sciences and Correctional Services
—Departmental chairmen are being
very cooperative with prospective
students, helping with pranning an
scheduling in the students’ education and
training.
—Admissions officials have been
doing a great amount of recruiting in N.C
and Va. high schools, “working overtime.”
—-More out-of-state and transfer
students are being accepted, creating what
Ussery termed “a good cultural melting
pot.”
—Schoiastic Aptitude Test scores,
which Horne says are an arbitrary means of
selecting students, have not been called
into play much this year.
“A student may have an S.A.T. score of
650 but rank in the top 6 or 7 percent of a
class of 500,” said Horne. “Someone with
a high S.A.T. score but poor grades may be
a good test-taker, but is probably lazy and
more likely to flunk out.” Horne said that
S.A scores are usually used when
applications are high.
“There was a dip in enrollment iast
plications were fairly low, and grades were
considered more important than S.A.T.
scores. After January there was an
upsurge in applications, ali over the state,
peaking in April.” Home also said, “You
have a budget, you need a certain number
of students.”
Enroliments are expected to increase
during the next two years, then stabilize,
according to Ussery.
“By studying the live birth rate,
constituting the number of people
available for college enroliment, one finds
that the birth rate was declining 18 years
ago,” said Ussery. “During this projected
period of enroliment stabilization, the
thing to focus on will be the improvement
of educational facilities and teachers in the
university,” he said
Intercoms cause mixed reactions
Continued from page one.
calling, then you miss each other.” She
then added, “But do like it because if the
caller came when the hostess was gone,
then he had no way of getting up with
you
Lynne Syddall of Wilmington, Dei
voiced her reaction, saying, “It doesnt
seem to be loud enough. But guess it is
good they can get you anytime. Some-
times there's a little obscenity
“ don't like them personally, but you
see, have kind of a Southern accent, and
when get on thé intercom people get
kinda tickled,” answered Mitchel! Rowe of
Newton Conover. “And don't think the
girls like it either. Sometimes the boys get
too close and come out sounding too
loud,” he added
Dave Woods of Vienna, Va,
complained, “Sometimes they (the girls)
say someone isn't there that is. It got to
the point here I'd rather use a dime and call
her up. was sitting there one night and
my girl never got the message and left
after twenty minutes of waiting for her,” he
said. “Now usually follow a girl into the
elevator and on up to my girl's room,” he
continued
On the other hand, there were several
peopie to voice support for the new
intercoms. Jeanne Hagan of Goldsboro
said, “Overall, like the new one
better, The hostesses weren't always
there. Sometimes the guys yell, of carry
on conversations, but think it’s better.’
‘ think it's a pretty good idea. Not
everybody knows how to use it, Dut it's
pretty good,” commented Janet Odom of
Jamestown
“They stink,” said Dan Winter of
Annadelie, Va. After thinking it over, he
added that he was starting to get used to
it. “It's embarassing,” he said. “But
guess it’s all right now.”
Of course, there are always going to be
the mischief-makers. Take for instance,
the case of Marcia McGaha, as explained
by Debbie Bennett of Carey, and Joyce
Foster of Richmond, Va. It seems Miss
McGaha, a resident of Tyler dorm, had a
caller one day who called her down saying,
“Marcis McGaha ha ha ha ha ha.” Some
young men say things like: “Come on
down!” in the style of Johnny Olsen of the
Price is Right
One girl of Jarvis Hall said she heard
someone doing immitations of Grandpa
McCoy over the system. The same gir!
added, “ get a real kick out of just
listening to them.”

Rev Oan Earnhart. director of the
Methodist Student Canter recently
received some protest conceming the TM
lecture being held there
Some people consider TM an activity
of Satan.” he commented. “They feel that
it encourages people to think of images
and concepts that are not Cristian.” He
would not say who these people were or to
which organization they belonged
Rev Earnhart allowed SIMS to use the
lecture hall for a small rental fee after he
was approached by “some students who
wanted to investigate (this particular
activity” and after checking it out for
himself
Rev Earnhart felt that TM was a
valuable exercise for people who don't
know good techniques of solitude and
sevotion
He pointed out that an emphasis on
time alone is a reoccurring theme in the
Bible
He also said he sees todays college
student “feeling fragmented, running from
one place to another,” and he adced that
TM offers “discipline” which requires the

Some people disagree with the idea of
the TM meeting being neid at the MSU
because it was not a Methodist
program. Rev Earnnhart said he felt that
Christians should not be isolated from
other people and pointed out that Right to
Life, a program that offers an alternative to
abortion, and a Bible study were going on
in the Butiding at the sane time
Rev Earnhart vorosd the sare opinion
as Diane Pittman in suggesting that TM
could be “a helpful tool one can employ in
their Own religious activity” and that it was
not a religion
Conoeming those who were against the
TM lecture, Rev. Earnhart said, “Some of
them have the feeling that any act which
encourages people to think about things
not “necessarily Chistian in nature is
Satanic.”

Weather breaks or makes it
Tobacco part of eastern lifestyle
By JEFF ROLLINS
Staff Writer
A clean spring moming, mid-April,
Clayton Cannon surveys one of his fields
Freshly plowed, the ground gives softly as
he walks. “A lot fo work,” he thinks, “a lot
of work, and luck, and fair weather, and in
four months might have a pretty fair
crop.” Clayton Cannon grows tobacco
N.C. MONEY CROP
Almost a third of all the tobacco grown
in the US comes from North
Carolina. We at East Carolina are right in
the middie of prime tobacco producing
country. Stand at the center of campus,
Start walking in any direction and it’s a
sure bet that before iong you'll end up
right in the middie of a tobacco field. You
saw them when you were coming to
school, expansive fields with leafy plants.
anywhere from knee to waist-high,
spreading green and iow across the
landscape. in fact. if you walked from any
random point in N.C you would end up in
a tobacco field sooner or later because
tobacco is grown in 90 of the 100 counties
in this state. It is N.C.’s top money crop
“NECESSITY OF MECHANIZATION”
Clayton Cannon has a growing
operation yielding 70,000 ibs of tobacco
leaf yearly. Cannon, his four sons, and
“one live in” farmnand do the brunt of the
work, with the women of the family
heiping out aS much as they
can. Cannon's farm is typical of the
relatively small farms in N.C. In addition
to growing tobacco Cannon must
supplement his income with another job,
during the week he is a full time
salesman. “My son, who has handled the
crops since he was 14 years old, is my
right hand,” says Cannon
Being literally at the root level, farmers
find themseives in a pecular bind, they
must sell wholesale, and buy retail, this is
hard on all farmers, and especially srnail
farmers who don’t have the financial power
to buy equipment, fertilizers and other
essentials in large quantities. “It’s either
expand or quit,” says Cannon. “When you
consider what you have to spend, and what
you get back, the only way to make money
is to do big business “ thusly, he speaks
of the “necessity” of mechanization

Like prices for everything, the tobacco
price fluctuates according to the law of
supply and demand. To stabilize the
market the federal government has set
certain limitations on the amount of
tobacco that each farmer is allowed to
produce each year. It is common, but not
publicized, for farmers to grow more than
their quota of tobacco and sell it through
other farmers who have not used the entire
amount allotted to them. A good price for
Quality tobacco nowadays is $1.12 per Ib
About a mile from campus are several
tobacco warehouses. Here the farmer
brings his tobacco, after he has cured it, to
be auctioned to either cigarette,
processing of export companies. it's
really an experience to see and hear
tobacco being auctioned. The tobacco
sits wrapped in burlap diapers called
sheets”. These sheets weigh from 150 to
250 Ibs. Long rows of sheets are piaced in
different sections for each farmer. The
midday sun beats relentlessly on the large
flat roof. The air is a mixture of dust, the
smell of freshly cured tobacco and body
odor The auctioneer stands, king of the
show, shouting a language that only tne
truly initiated can understand. People are
moving everywhere, loading, unloading,
moving, holding, watching, anc almost
inconspicuously, the buyers flick their
hands, or nod their heads, indifferently
deciding whether four months of hard work
for the farmer was worth their while

About the time we were coming to
school, Clayton Cannon was finishing the
curing of the last of his tobacco. His
tobacco, like most in N.C is flue-cured,
there are four ways to cure tobacco: flame
curing, sun curing, air curing and five
curing
The trucks rattle out of Greenville,
carrying away the tobacco that will soon
be used for cigarettes. The warehouses
are silent, no auctioneers, no moving
machines, and the farmers tell themseives

after all, this year wasn't so bad. The

O’Keefe brings
experience
By SHANE DEROLF
Staff Writer
Larry O'Keefe, ECU's new assistant
professor of journalism, is enthusiastic
about his first year of teaching
O'Keefe says, “! consider my
classroom a newsroom and approach
teaching as if were the editor and the
students were reporters.” This method of
instruction is geared to prepare students
for what to expect in newspaper
work. The most effective way to heip
students adapt to a newspaper
atmosphere, he thinks, is by having them
go out and actually write their own
stories. Then O'Keefe edits these stories
and works with students for improvement
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
When asked whether or not there was a
lack of motivation among the school’s
journalism students, O'Keefe said, “The
students seem very interested in their
work.” This “independent motivation” of
his students will heip O'Keefe make the
transition from government reporter and
environmental editor on the Woodbury,
New Jersey Daily Times to teaching
journalism at ECU. The joumalism staff
now consists of two professors, but there
are not yet sufficient funds for a
journalism school at ECU
BY RICK GOLDMAN
in discussing the transition from
newspaper work to teaching, O'Keefe felt
the biggest change was in becoming
responsible for a large number of students
instead of being responsibie only for his
Own newspaper assignments.
PROMOTE GREATER INTEREST
A native of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania,
Mr. O'Keefe graduated from La Fayette.
University near Philadeiphia with a major
iN political science. He attended graduate
school at the University of Florida, where
he earned an

O'Keefe said, “You can't lecture
someone on how to write. What makes a
good reporter is energy.” Also he pointed
out the importance of experience in
writing. “ hope to take students with a
basic understanding of English and adapt
their writing style to that which is
commonly accepted by the mass media.
O'Keefe plans to promote greater
interest in journalism classes this year. “
hope my experience will encourage
students to pursue journalism.” Since the
foundation for his teaching is two years
newspaper experience, he brings to ECU a
practical knowledge of how a newspaper
operates and how to prepare students for
journalism work

‘461 Ocean Boulevard’ lacks ‘Layla’ power
“461 Ocean Boulevard” - Eric Clapton
By BRANDON TISE
Staff Writer
Eric Clapton makes an enjoyable, yet
not magnificent, comeback with “461
Ocean Boulevard”, his first album of new
material since 1970's “LAYLA”. This new
album lacks the sheer, overwheiming
power of “LAYLA" instead of being
content to offer purist blues, and to show a
very subtle side of Clapton
After keeping Clapton's heroin usage
out of the news for almost four years
Clapton and his business controllers, The
Robert Stigwood Organization Ltd. are
more than willing to tell how he beat the
heroin problem. Beginning at the end of
1973, Clapton was treated by a woman
doctor whose name has not been revealed
to the press, who cured him after months
of treatment. The “new stronger’ Clapton
who was mentioned in all the PR in recent
months was a result of the treatment and a
very strong will to be cured. The tidal wave
of emotion which produced “LAYLA” was
born of pain; the happiness of the reborn
Clapton produced the work found on “461
Ocean Boulevard”. It is an aibum that
traces the root of Clapton and by the titles
of some of the cuts, ‘Give Me Strength’ and
‘Let It Grow’, cries out for the new Eric to
last and flower above aii his previous
musical plateaus
Side One begins with the traditional
Motherless Children’, especially im
portant to Clapton since he was an
illegitimate child, living with grandparents
and stepparents since an early age. The
song is Not done as a lament, but rather as
an upbeat, rocker in which Jamie Oidaker's
drumming is particularly inportant in
making this song work. The second song
is a Clapton written tune called ‘Give Me
Strength’ which includes one of his two
dobro leads on the album. Instead of
continuing his reputation as a “blow you
off the stage guitarist”, he has chosen the
dobro to do his extended lead work
with. Following this song is Johnny Otis’
‘Willie and the Hand Jive’ which is done
rather mournfully compared to the original
but nonetheless is still enjoyable. A
Clapton-Elliman penned song ‘Get Ready’
is the next number. Yvonne Elliman who
was Mary Magdelene in “Jesus Christ
Superstar” and is married to Bill Oakes,
President of the Robert Stigwood
Organization, is Clapton's new singing
partner a pleading improvement over
Bobby Whitlock and on this song she and
Clapton combine to form a slinky, teasing
number. Sings Elliman to Clapton:
“You've got a lot of nerve dishing out what
you takewaggling your piece of
meat.” The last song on side one is a
reggae number which we've ali heard over
and over, Bob Marley's ‘ Shot the
Sheriff’. it is definitely not the highlight of
tne album but it would be more enjoyabie
if we hadn't been deluged with it by top 40
radio in the last few months.
Side Two starts out with a beautiful
version of Elmore Jarnes’ ‘ Can't Hoid
Out’. It's Clapton at some of his biuesie
best, and the best is yet to come. ‘Please
Be With Me’ by Charlies Scott Boyer is next
with Clapton's voice never better. A very
folky, crooning song, Clapton's and
Elliman’s voices are closely blended with
Clapton's dobro singing what the voice
can't. If these two songs had not made the
album worth it already, the next song, ‘Let
it Grow clinches it. It is a 1969-1970
Clapton song with evident George
Harrison influence. Its full-sounding rich
ness and biending of vocals and
instruments including a synthesizer
combined with a chord sequence on a
bridge similar to the bridge of ‘Something’
and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ and
you have the prime cut of the album.
Robert Johnson, who Clapton calls his
“guru”, wrote the next song, ‘Steady
Rollin’ Mann’. The guitar work is good but
hardly outstanding with Clapton seeming-
ly holding back, content to play adequate
leads but not more. The last song is
‘Mainiine Florida’ written by rhythm
guitarist George Terry. The song is
mediocre rock with an overdubbed guitar
work ending the album on a dull note.
Clapton's band: Cari Radie on bass,

Janis Joplin. The name invokes
visions of feathers and belis, a swaggering
mystic shouting from a stage, thousands
rising to their feet for a tune from a red-hot
mama who sang the bives. A legend, a
myth, a tragic figure in rock history,
“Pearl” lived a fascinatingly complex,
sadly short life
Buried Alive. Myra Friedmans’ detailed
biography of Janis Joplin, is more than a
highly readable portrait of inevitable
tragedy
Buried Alive is a kaleidoscopic view of
the sixties - a decade as enigmatic as
Joplin herself
Through Ms. Friedmans extraordinary
skill as a storyteller one sees Janis Joplin
develop against the mass schizophrenia of
San Francisco, New York and Los
Angeles. Even from her happy, “normal”
childhood, one denotes a sense of
unavoidable doom, as if even the most
domestic of scenes will play a role in her
wntimely demise Thwarted from
adolescence by those who scomed her
clumsy body and bad complexion, she
learned early the art of escapism. (Once,
while studying art at the University of
Texas, Janis was nominated Ugliest Man
on Campus. She fied to San Francisco.)
In the words of the author: “Chronic
suicide is what Janis was engaged in
throughout her life, the act taking this or
that form alono the way and penetrating
all areas of her tortured existence.”
It is to Ms. Friedmans’ credit that
Buried Alive is neither a starry-eyed tribute
to the singer nor a melodramatic
condemnation of “Pearl”, her drugs, her
booze, or her “pretty young boys”. Rather,
the book displays the contrasts in Joplin’s
life through a series of vignettes; the
basically frugal Joplin picking up
enormous drinking tabs, and hopefully the

Ms. Friedmans’ eyes we see the battle rage

intelligently written, sympathic, fiercely
personal story of a true casualty of the
sixities. More than an admirer, Ms
Friedman writes as friend, advisor, and
confidante of her deeply troubled
companion. Perhaps only Friedman

Crowded
Being a freshman from a smail high
school, it is completely new to me to see
such a large amount of people at one
school
One thing don't understand is how a
university with as much spirit and pride as
East Carolina is supposed to have, can
: allow sO many more students than they
7 have facilities for. In otherwords, it really
: infuriated me to learn of the girls who
carne here to learn that they were to live in
the infirmary or in condemned “Ragsdale
Hall”. To think of the poor people from out
of state being turned away from the
ampus completely to find other living
accomodations
am an out of state student, but lucky
for me! have a room. is East Carolina that
desperate for money?
see more dogs around here with better
living accomodations than some of these
students
Maybe don't know al! the facts but
have friends in Ragsdale and the
nfirmary. don't know if they were told
before they came here or not. Had come
here Sept. 9 and had someone to tell me
that had to live off campus or in a
condemned dorm or even the infirmary;
East Carolina wouldn't have gotten one
cent of my money
as sincerely hope as a concerned student
« that ECU will lear to say no or offer
@ classes in pitching tents

Alarm
To Fountainhead
O.K What next is going to happen at
East Carolina University? First get
displaced” out of Garrett Dorm. Then sit
out in the cold for who knows what reason
(Clements emergency alarm); if wasn't so
afraid my parents would disinherit me I'd
run for state senator
“M.D.J. Whipp”
P.S. This is getting ridiculous. Chancel-
lor Jenkins is right. This piace has
financial problems
Nixon
To Fountainhead
The editorial commentary by Steve
Levine of September 10, 1974 impressed
me very much except that would like to
disagree with him on one thing. Richard
Nixon is not an evil person. No person is
evil. can tell by your letter that you are
not too intellectual when it comes to
religion and American literature.
Believe me, loved your style of writing
- it was beautiful but your ideas scare me
to death. , at the tender age of 16,
supported Richard Nixon; at the age of 19,
campaigned and voted for McGovern.
You must be either agnostic or a
racist. No human being is evil. Evil is a
thing. Evil is the devil.
Piease do not condemn me, wanted
Richard Nixon out of office just as much
as you did
The only real political world 1900's
tragedy that ever happened in the United
States of America was just last decade,
when President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated. Americans, sane Ameri-
cans, try to live, we try to love; Richard
Nixon tried to restore World Peace. Now,
as remember back in March seeing
Washington, D.C. (except by an Eastern
Airline Jet) for the first time in my life
forgive him, why can't we all.
Please, we are above heathenness, we
have the “green light” to go ahead and
repair the darnage created by the war at
Kent State University

P.S. Just of mild curiosity, are you from
Salem, Massachusetts and what do you
think about the situation in Ireland?
Buffalo
To Fountainhead :
indeed, last year was the year of the
Buffalo; this year must be the year of the
motorcycle
Anyone can own 4a motorcycie, it
requires no special intelligence, just the
required monetary investment. In the
sare vein, it requires no "oe
ntelli » to ride one, either am
nal the special cretin who rides
his iron steed up and down in back of
Garrett dorm at odd hours. Why? For the
best resons-THE CHICKS ARE LOOKING!
And if the gnat-like buzzing of their tiny
YAMAHA is not enough, the bomber-ike
drone of the Harleys completes the
menagerie
So please, have to suffer the indignity
of having freshmen and their loud stereos
in my supposedly upper class dorm; the
loud bikes (with their attendant habit of
trying to kill me as walk the streets) are
really not needed
Rufus T. Firefly
It seems logical to conclude that the existence of any type of government or for that
matter any organization, hinges upon the actions of its citizens or members. Again, one
may conciude that the actions of these members are shaped by rules and regulations
which generate from those in leadership positions. Naturally the severity or the softness
of rules, regulations and policies is determined by the desires, demands and goals of
those who have the authority to formulate them. For instance, one finds that general
regulations and policies governing students at Louisburg College differs greatly from
those at the University of North Carolina. Perhaps a better example is that regulations
concerning co-educational dorms and visitation differ significantly at the state supported
institutions of North Carolina State Uiversity and East Carolina University. Why do these
and other inconsistencies exist at state supported institutions? Perhaps these answers
are numerous and in many instances, compiex and confusing. Despite this face,
strongly feel the foremost reason for the existence of inconsistent regulations and
policies is the student. Students have become extremely docile in their
thinking. Although we, as students, complain quite often about University policies and
regulations we find ourselves on obvious occasions accepting these decisions without
attempting to provide input into the initial stages of the decision-making process
In addition, many students complain about SGA policies and programs. Although
Criticism in numerous cases is definitely justified, few students attempt to get involved
to the point of deciding these policies and program. A given student government has
unlimited possibilities, however, before any substantial results can be attained, positive
actions in terms of involvement must occur
The crux of my argument is the fact that students should make a very positive effort to
shape the many rules, regulations and policies which the University and student
government thrust upon them. Without a doubt, in my opinion, the best method to
accomplish this vital goal is to become a member of the student government
legislature. There is no other organization on campus which has the authority to deal
directly with student needs and problerns. Membership in the jegisiature enables the
Student to become acutely aware of the significant activities which often escape the eyes
of most students. However, the main point and one which cannot be overly stressed is
the fact that the student will have a definite and often strategic say so in University and
student government policies.
Finally each student should realize you don't have to major in political science or
minor in Watergate affairs to be a legislator. Perhaps the only real requirement is a
genuine desire on the part of the student to contribute a small portion of his time and
efforts to the general well-being of his fellow students. In fact, only Monday afternoons
will be consumed by serving on the legislature (4:00-7:00).
Think about it you have through Friday to fil! out a brief application in the SGA
offices. strongly feel that if any meaningful programs are to be developed this schoo!
year, a certain “campus consciousness” must initially develop on the part of each
Student.
Sincerely ,
Bob Lucas
SGA President
Trash
To Fountainhead
This afternoon we decided to go out to
the Mali, put down a blanket, and enjoy the
cool breeze and creeping shade of early
autumn. To our great dismay, we could
not find the Mal! at all. What was once a
green bed of grass crisscrossed by a white
maze of concrete had become one of those
“No Dumping Allowed” areas where
everyone throws their trash
Not giving up our search for the Mail,
we proceeded on our joumey across
campus. Arriving at Wright Circle, we
were halted in our tracks by a
sinus opening stench which permeated
the air. Upon further investigation, we
identified the source to be Wright
Fountain, that multicolored man-made
geyser of algae.
Overwhelmed by the odor, we crawled
ernest ODIO ERIS
to the Mail in search of a breath of fresh
air, only to find ourselves at eye level with
2,317 Dixie cups, 143 Stewart sandwich
wrappers, 8 Hershey bars, 96 Carolina
Dairy milk cartons, 4 News and Observers,
and 831 Fountainheads. Swimming in a
sea of garbage was almost too much, but
fortunately, both of us were rescued by a
Kampus Kop who, obviously having had
his lifesaving course, stripped down to his
boxer shorts and extended his night stick
to us. We were saved, but we never found
the Mali
it isn’t too difficult to throw your trash
in the can. How about trying it? You
might like your campus a little more once
you see 't. Remember - if you aren't part of
the solution, you are part of the problem.
Sincerely ,

both a reality and a success
During its first 10 years, RDI undertook
and completed approximately 1,500

business and industrial development and
made spciai services available to the 32
counties of eastern North Carolina
Before joining ECU to organize and

Staff Writer
“I's a big thing—helping people,”
explained the new Assistant Director of
Alumni Affairs, Thurman R. “TR”
Pierce. “It's great seeing people have a
good time and knowing that I'm part.”
Pierce is two weeks into his new
position at the ECU Alumni Office in
Jenkins Hail. A 1965 graduate of Rocky
Mount High School, Pierce spent three
years in the Army before accepting a
position with Belk-Tyler in Ahoskie. He
began his college career at Wesiyen
College in Rocky Mount before
transferring to ECU. Pierce will graduate
in Novernber with a B.S. in Business
Adrmnistration
In his three years here as a student,
Pierce was a member of Phi Beta Larndda,
a national business fraternity, and served
as Vice President and Public Relations
Office in the fraternity.
Pierce describes his position as “a
1ason between the Alumni and the
University.” He helps coordinate public-
ations to the Alumni, attends various
chapter meetings of the Alumni
Association in area communities and
States, and heips in various other aspects
of the Alumni
He will coordinate some of the
events of Homecoming Weekend,
November 1-3. The Alumni Office will
traditionally sponsor a buffet breakfast on
Saturday, Nov. 1, and an informal social
with live music after the football game
Other services of the Alumni Office
nclude keeping current addresses of al!
graduates, providing low-cost group travel
(this year a Carribean Cruise), and
providing a life insurance policy. Under
two separate funds, the Office also solicits
funds from alumni and private businesses
and uses these funds to “enhance
academic progress, and provide scholar-
ships to students and academic research,

location program
ABOUT THE BUILDING
The spacious new building is 16,000
square feet and is a modern, one story
structure at Reade and First Streets in
downtown Greenville, on a. site
overlooking the Tar River. The land was
purchased from the Greenville Redevelop-
ment Commission.
The building will contain staff offices,
conference rooms, a drafting room, an
exhibit room for eastern North Carolina
product displays, a library and a 300 seat
auditorium. The $556 000 cost was funded
in part by the state, the U.S. Economic
Development Administration and the
Coastal Plains Regional Commission.
Dr. Jenkins said “The ECU Regional
Development institute is playing an
impcertant role in the growth and
development of eastern North Carolina,
and this new facility will help us to better
serve our people and the state
The entire regional development
institute story, its achievements, its
projects to assist eastern North Carolina
economically, to improve its quality of
living, was described by Jenkins as a
“classic” one-man effort. “Over the years
he’s (Willis) done a marvelous job,”
Jenkins said.
The new building will be officially
dedicated next month.

Campus as a shuttie bus, is being

Such a new in the
$10,000 category and might possibly be

Director was quick to add that the new bus
dea would first have to be given a lot more
onsideration and then would have to go
before the SGA for approval
Right now it is definitely an idea, one
that think will come before the SGA
sometime early in the year But, what
happens to it them is up to them.” Folsom

t, Folsom pointed out
The Transportation Director also noted
that the bus service and the new parking
area at the Allied Health Building near Pitt
Plaza offered students an alternative to the
frustrations of looking for a parking place
» Campus
Students can park at the Allied Health
Building, then wait for a bus and ride over
to the main campus for their
classes. When classes are over, they can
then catch a bus at several places and ride
back to their cars,” Folsom explained
Foisom noted that some iack of
student participation on the bus routes at
apartments was a matter of concern
“It cost to add routes to the system and
they just don't pay off unless students use
the buses,” Folsom explained

added to the routes Folsom said that at
laast one request for bus service has been
denied so far
Folsom said a request to extend service
to Greek houses down Fifth Street had to
be denied this summer
This was an area where it would have
required sending a bus through downtown
and the time element involved would raally
nave siowed the schedule.”
But, Folsom contended that if any
group of students feit they had an
adequate number of students who wanted
to add a new stop should contact him
‘Because we could not add this stop
does not mean we dont want to add
stops. We are always looking for ways to
improve the service. If anyone has a
suggestion hope they let us know about
it,” Folsom continued
While expansion of the system was one
high point of the new bus system, Foisom
noted that new schedules had been posted
around campus
Permanent wooden schedules were
erected this summer as well as cardboerd
posters in buildings around campus. And
Folsom also had smail pocket size bus
schedules printed up

Billiards professional givesdemonstrations
Pocket billiards professional Paul
Gerni will give two promotional
Gemonstrations at ECU's Mendenhall
Student Center Tuesday, Sept. 24
Scheduled for the Centers multi-
purpose room, Gerni’s ECU appearance
will consist of two trick shot exhibitions,
at 4 p.m. and at 8 p.m. No admission will
be charged to persons wishing to attend.
The 25 year old Gerni has been a
professional since 1970. He previously
won ne ingiana Cnampionsnip at tne age
of 16 and was a finalist in the 1970
National Amateur Tournament. The son of
a minister, Gerni began his billiards
practice in the recreational room of his
father's church.
Gerni believes that a great revival of
interest in pocket billiards has begun to
reach peopie of all ages and backgrounds,
rather than just the “slick-talking hustiers”
and “knuckle breakers in the back alley.”
Newspaper course is offered
ECU isamong 180 colleges and
universities in the nation who will offer
college credit to persons who complete
requirements for the second national
“Courses by Newspaper’ program,
scheduled to begin soon
The second newspaper course, entitled
‘In Search of the American Dream’ will
begin during the week of Sept. 29 in 273
daily and weekly American newspapers.
The final reading will be printed during the
week of Feb. 8
Each week the participating news-
papers will print one of the course
“lectures”, each dealing with an aspect of
America’s history and society. The lectures
are written by distinguished professors,
three of whom have won Pulitzer Prizes.
Dr. Ronaid S. Berman, chairman of the
National Endowment for the Humanities,
the funding agency for the program, said
the topics in the newspaper course are
particularly relevant “for consideration of
the forthcoming Bicentennial.”
Dr. Fred Ragan of the ECU Dept. of
History is instructor for the contact
session, and Alien Churchill of the ECU
Division of Continuing Educaiton is the
campus program coordinator
Thank you East Carolina
you did it!
Churchill said the on-campus session
is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7, and the
examination for Sat. Feb. 8, 1975. Both
sessions begin at 10 a.m. and end at 1
p.m
Applications for credit for the
newspaper course are availabie from the
ECU Division of Continuing Education,
Boc 2727 Greenvilie.
He Says his aim is to give the gare “an
image completely different from the
atmosphere of the old-time poo! hall.”
“Gone are the dingy mahogany tables,
gach lighted by a single bulb hanging from
the ceiling,” Gerni stresses. “Billiards has
acquired a new look.”
“Sales of tables have more than tripled
in the past two or three years in this
country as a result of the opening of farnily
billliards centers, designed along the
lines of bowling lanes.”
Gerni has performed his exhibition
shots in shopping maiis, sports shows,
colleges and other locations throughout
the nation. He has also appeared on the
Merv Griffin show and other television talk
shows and has organized several major
tournaments.
His high run (consecutive ball
pocketed) is 152 for exhibition and 108 for
tournament competition

The “pockets of excellence” concept
was developed by Dr Leo W. Jenkins in
1971 in anticipation of being awarded a
Short-Term Leave Grant by the Danforth
Foundation of St. Louis. At the time of
this grant Dr. Jenkins planned to travel in
Europe, visiting and observing at places
were excelience nad been achieved
Although Dr. Jenkins was the recipient
of the Short-Term Leave Grant, conditions
would not allow him to travel abroad as
planned He spent the time of his leave in
extensive travel of the U.S
However, the “pockets of excellence”
concept was not forgotten. Dr. Jenkins

Foundation in Winston-Salem a proposal
for funds to aliow persons other than
himself to travel to various “pockets of

proposal were awarded by the Z Smith
Reynolds Foundation, and during 1972-73
the project investigators made their trips
and observations
The Pockets of Excellence Conference
on Oct. 17 is designed to provide them the
means to present their findings
The Pockets of Excellence Conference
will be heid in the new ECU Regional
Development Institute facilities in
Greenville. There is an expected attend-
ance at the conference of 300 or more
leaders of Eastern North Carolina drawn
from industry, business, education, the
fine arts, government and public
service. It is the express purpose of the
conference to take the initial steps in the
transiation into reality in Eastern North
Carolina of the ideas and suggestions
presented by the project investigators
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins envisions the
continuation of the “pockets of
excellence’ concept in time. He looks
forward to the day when the entire region

Pirates moveto second win
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
East Carolina took advantage of
several key playS and outmanned a
surprisingly stubbom East Tennessee
State squad, 24-8, before 16,226 at Fickien
7 Stadium Saturday
Led once again by sophomore signal
alled Mike Weaver, the Pirates chalked up
44 yards along the ground to roll up a 24-0
lead before substituting freely in the final
period
The Pirates swept to a score the first
time they had the ball, traveling 80 yards in
14 plays before halfback Bobby Myrick
bulled over from the one for a 7-0 iead
Weaver provided the steam for the drive
with a 17 yard run and then a 22 yard pass
‘ mM pletion to tight end Benny
Gibson. Those two plays moved the ball
F to the ETSU 33. From there the Pirates
Sed nine plays to travel the remainder of
the way for the score
The Pirates kept East Tennessee
backed deep in its own territory for most of
half. On their first two
the game, the East
Tennessee State Buccaneers started from
7 their own five and then from the seven
With the opening of the second period,
the Pirates mounted a drive which carried
therm to first and goal at the nine. After
Weaver rolled to the two, the Tennessee
defense stiffened. Pete DiDonato stopped
Don Schink for no gain, Schink furnbled on
the next play and State’s Benny Denton
overed the ball in the end zone for a
touchback
Even with this break, the Buccaneers
could not mount any offensive attack and
the Pirates traded punts with the Bucs
before Tom Chipok took over the East
Carolina offense at the seven
From the seven, Chipok commandeer-
oe ec a 3 yard drive. Early in the drive,
Ge Chipok put together back to back runs
which would move the Pirates into scoring
s position. The big play came when Chipok
meg?
MIKE WEAVER circles end on one of his many carries from out of the wishbone.
struck with a 61 yard scamper through the
Buccaneer defense. The play carried the
Pirates ail the way to the East Tennessee
26. Mixing his plays, Chipok led the
offense the rest of the way, turing to
Myrick for the score from the one vard line
East Carolina scored once more before
the end of the half when Jim Woody
booted a 45 yard field goal. The kick
followed a fake punt which brought the
Pirates to the 28. With the field goal,
Woody became the Pirates’ top career fieid
goal kicker with ten. His three extra points
gave the senior booter a career total of 44,
three shy of the school record.
The Pirates’ dominance of the first half
allowed East Tennessee only 58 yards
offensively on 19 plays. The deepest
Buccaneer penetration was to their own
43
The Buccaneer offense came alive
against the Pirates in the second haif. On
the haif’s first series, halfback Pierre
Hawshaw and fullback Bob Hardy
combined for 63 yards along the ground to
the ECU 13. The “Wild Dog” defense,
burned earlier in the drive by Hardy's 32
yard sweep, suddenly came alive as
Reggie Pickney, and then Billy Hibbs
threw the Bucs for losses back to the 18
From the 25, Buccaneer placekicker Bobby
Neff missed a field goal try
It would be late in the fourth quarter
before East Tennessee wouid threaten
again. First, however, the Pirates would
rive for another score
With Weaver back at quarterback, the
urple and Gold drove to the Buccaneer
7. On first down, Weaver rolled out and
it Theodore Ashford on a 37 yard
ouchdown pass. Woody's kick gave the
irates their final point and a 240 lead
going into the final stanza.
The ‘fourth quarter found East
ECU clubbers win opener
Terry Ramos and Ricky McKay
teamed with a stingy defense to lead the
East Carolina club football team to a 13-0
opening game victory over conference foe
Virginia Commonwealth
Ramos, with 145 yards rushing, and
McKay, 88 rushing yards, led a powerful
single wing offense past the Rams
The Pirate defense gave notice that it is
as strong as ever, holding the Rams at bay
the entire game. The Rams threatened
only twice in the game, driving to the
Pirate 20 in the first half before safetyman
Chad Chadwick came up with the squad's
first interception of the year. The team’s
other drive carne on their final possession
when they drove to the ECU 23. At the 23,
VCU fumbled away the bail and their final
opportunity to score.
The rest of the game's offensive play
was monopolized by the Pirate squad. In
the first naif, the Pirates drove deep into
Virginia Commonwealth territory several
times, but could not push the bail
over. The clubbers did salvage six points
from Frank Saunders. Saunders, a
bare-toed kicker, connected on tries of 22
and 33 yards to give the club a 6-0 halftime
advantage
in the second haif the Pirates moved

quickly to a score. Ramos returned a you
punt 35 yards to the Ram 38 yard
line. Emie Wruck then hit end Chip
Burden for 25 yards to the eleven. Three
plays later, fullback Ike Sherlock capped
the drive with a one yard carry for the
score. Saunders added the conversion to
give the Pirates a 13-0 jead.
East Carolina threatened once again in
the final period when Wruck raced up the
sidelines for 37 yards, putting the bail on
the VCU 24. The ECU club could move the
ball no further, however, and Saunders’ 47
yard goal attempt was far short of adding
to the Pirates’ point totai.
On defense, the Pirate clubbers were
weil in control throughout the game. The
defensive line, led by Bobby Brandon and
Jonn Mc Milian, pressured the Ram
quarterback into severai interceptions.
The ciub’s next contest will be at home
next weekend against Western Piedmont
Community College. The contest,
scheduled for Saturday at 2:00, will be the
first time the two squads have ever met.
Tennessee's previously subdued offense
opening up against the Pirates’ defensive
substitutes
Twice the Buccaneers drove deep into
Pirate territory behind tne fine running of
Hardy and freshman George Fugate.
Hardy, the game's leading ground gainer
with 130 yards, triggered the first drive
with a 50 yard run. Had Hardy not run into
his own blocker, Ronnie Byrd may never
have made the stop at the 22. East
Tennessee drove deeper to the Pirate ten,
but on third and nine, Danny Kepiley
downed quarterback Lee Trawick for a five
yard loss at the 15. Trawick’s ten yard run
on the next play proved insufficient and
the Pirates took over the bai!
The final State drive proved more
fruitful. Fugate led the drive with a 22 yard
carry to the East Carolina 42. From the 38,
reserve quarterback Gary Jennings found
senior Bo Howard on a 20 yarder to the
18. At the 18, Pierre Harshaw took
Jennings’ pitch and found Howard in the
rear of the end zone for the score. 3
seconds later tie season's second game
came to an end with East Carolina on top,
24-8
The East Tennessee State squad
proved to be more of a match for the Pirate
wishbone than expected. Despite yielding
418 yards, tne Buc defenders forced the
Pirates to punt seven times. Defensively,
linebacker Pee Wee Brown and Ken Gaiter
stood out. Brown and Gaiter totalled 18
tackles between them
On offense, the Pirate defense simply
was too much for the young and
inexperienced Buccaneers. Only in the
final period, against a defense saturated
with reserves, did East Tennessee show
any punch. Freshman Fugate and senior
Hardy did perform well in the Buccaneer
backfield, however.
With their second contest under their
belts the Pirates must prepare for Southern
lilinois. The Salukis always prove to be a
tough foe for the Pirates and will probably
pose a stiffer test than either of the Pirates
first two foes
