Robert Morgan, graduate of ECU, elected U.S. Senator
By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer
ECU's well-known sons,
tan. was swom in as a US
day and thus became the first te to become a member of the
Morgan graduated with a degree in ; Math 2B years ago from what ist Carolina College. The road
-o has taken Morgan to the Hamett ourthouse, the North Carolina the North Carolina
Cpr hamboer, Attorney General's office and now today the United States Senate.
No matter where that road has taken Morgan the Lillington native has always hee e to the ECU scene.
Morcan was named to the ECU Board
‘ Tristees in 1958 and served on that board unt! he resigned in 1973. For sever-
a Years Morgan was Chairman of the Board and one of ECs strongest
supporters

Morgan always carried the ECU banner duriris ten years in the State Senate and was a close ally of ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins in his fight for a medical school.
Morgan's interest in ECU dates back to anc his wife's) graduation from the
CNO« i Morgan's wife, the former Katie Earie Ywen, graduated one year before her husband in 1946. Mrs. Morgan later earned an M.A. from ECC in 1954.
tog 'n the Morgans were very active in — fe at the then predominately “ac institution according to their
schoo! records found in the Tecoan, the EC YearDOOk.
Lack of funds cited
Seventeen memberships in activities and clubs are listed along with Morgan's photo in the 1947 yearbook
The junior N.C. Senator was a cabinet officer, band member, state student legisiature representative and vice-presi- dent of Ragsdale Hall
Morgan, a Democrat, was aiso a member of the Young Democrats Club for one year while attending ECC
Mrs. Morgan, a class president, was named to Who's Who, and was selected ‘Most Popular Girl” in the 1946 yearbook. No fewer than 30 entries accompanied the Roseboro native’s photo in the Tecoan
After graduation in 1947, Morgan went to Wake Forest where he received his law degree in 1949
While still enrolled at Wake Forest he was elected Clerk of Superior Court in his native Harnett County. That was Morgan's first challenge before his electorate and the start of nine elections, all successful.
Morgan was Clerk of Court for four years and then launched a five term career in the North Carolina Senate. That span was broken by a call to active duty during the Korean Conflict.
Morgan moved up the ladder quickly in the Senate and was selected President Pro-Tem in 1965
Morgan's last term in the Senate came in 1967. He then ran for and won the N.C. Attorney General's post, which he tumed into a key post in the N.C. scheme of government. Under Morgan's leadership one of the first Consumer Protection Agencies in the South was formed.
Morgan also worked to increase the size of the State Bureau of Investigation and helped to establish the Criminal Justice Agency
Morgan was considered by many to be a top candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1972, but he opted for a second term as head of the Justice Department and won handily.
Morgan was soon recognized as the top bet to run for the U.S. Senate if Sam Ervin should decide not to seek another term. When Ervin resigned, Morgan received over 50 percent of the total vote against nine Democratic opponents.
He then breezed through the general elections this past November with 64 per cent of the vote, outdistancing GOP foe William Stevens by over 250,000 votes.
Morgan will take the rank of junior senator of N.C. behind Republican Jesse Helms.
The ECC graduate, according to a press secretary in his Raleigh office, has yet to be assigned to a Senate committee. It is

reported that he desires a post on the Senate Judiciary Committee, a committee on which Ervin served.
However, a spot on the prestigious Judiciary is doubtful and Morgan has listed his other preferences as Armed Forces, Labor and Education.
The Morgans have three children, two daughters and one foster son who is now attending ECU.

Price freeze started at highest food cost
‘Editors note: This study was written before the Christmas holiday. Therefore, prices may have changed to some degres.
By HELENA WOODARD Staff Writer
Big Star Foods Inc. froze its prices before Christmas just when prices were the highest, according to store managers at Overton's Super Market and Winn Dixie in Greenville
The charges were made in reference to Big Star's announcement of a price freeze on all food items beginning Dec. 9. The freeze ended Dec. 25.
‘Prices are coming down,” said both Charies and Parker Overton of the independent Overton's Market on 211 Jarvis St
“But the freeze holds prices at the rates they were weeks ago.”
Overton's is not freazing any prices.
Winn Dove's manager, who did not want to be quoted, also agreed that “prices ncreasec at Big Star just before the freaze was announced.”
The manager at Winn Dixie, located off Greenville Bivd said he believed their prices, which were not being frozen, were as low as Big Star's
He said, however, that releasing nfognation concerning other food chains could involve complicated lawsuits and said further comments would have to come from the chain's Raleigh office.
NO COMMENT
The manager of Big Star in the Pitt Plaza Shopping Center refused to discuss ine price freeze at all.
‘ do not give out information like that,” be said
HoWever, an employee said Big Star would absorb all price increases incurred during the freeze. He said decreases in Costs would not lower food prices for customers
Parker Overton claimed, however, the 'wo-week freeze would not give prices enough time to increase significantly.
A Big Star shopper noted that prices increased during the week before the freeze
“A jar of peanut butter which used to cost Me 69 cents now costs 89 cents,” the shopper said during the freaze.
However, a survey by this reporter disclosed that prices at Big Star were not

Women may have no curfew or men may be locked up
By BOB CUNINGHAM Staff Writer
The Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) ruling known as Title 9, which would require that men and women be treated equally in the eyes of campus administrators, has been postponed.
Title 9 would give freshman women on the ECU campus the same unlimited hours curfew given to freshman men, or require that men's Gorms on campus be locked by a certain hour. The residents would then have to present .D.’s and MRC cards to campus policemen for admittance to their dormitories after hours.
Title 9 has not been implemented at ECU because administration officials, according to campus attorney Dr. David Stevens, have not been given guidelines conceming enforcemerg. Though HEW has required enactment of Title 9, not heve
self-limiting hours until at least Fail Quarter.
Security conditions are not yet sufficient for the use of Title 9, according to Carolyn Fulghum, Dean of Women.

“Because most of the freshman women's dorms are next to the downtown area, the threat of intruders is a possible problem,” Fulighum said. “! want the women to have the privilege of self-limiting hours and will continue to work for it.” :
Tim Sullivan, Freshman Class President, said that the employment of three more campus police wouid heip security conditions.
“$10,000 would be needed to pay the salaries tor these officers until June 1975,” Sullivan said. “I! plan to negotiate with the campus administration and introduce a bill in the SGA for the funds.”

Off The Cuff
By
JiM DODSON
Features Editor
“THE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL”
If you are one of those ambitious persons who endeavors to keep abreast of current events, you probably spend a considerable percentage of your time each week wading through infinite pages of newsprint. More often than not, if you attempt to absorb every little item of news, you probably tend to end up more confused and “uninformed” than you were at the outset
There is definitely a “trick” involved in being able to disseminate the avalanche of news content that confronts you each moming over your coffee. First of all you must consider that the news is written by people like you and me, who are subject to the same sort of frustrations of “keeping informed”. Secondly, being somewhat less than super human these peopie must rely on certain “tricks” of the trade in order to put out a consistently fine-quality product
Since we currently seem to be in the midst of an age where candid disclosures are THE vogue practice, should like to impart to you one of these little “tricks” of the trade that might help you get a better perspective on the news. It concerns the usage of a standardized format into which the appropriate details of a news store are inserted. Sort of a multiple choice of current controversy, if you will.
There's really nothing to it. It's just a matter of changing a few nouns and verbs around. And for those of you who have just about given up on yourselves, thought it would be nice to bring you up to date with current events, using this little technique which you can employ in your Own reading, hereafter
All you have to do, depending on what story you are interested in, is select the appropriate word in each bracket
GOOD EVENING
Dateline Washington
The Nation's Capital was the scene of excitement today as (the President, Congress, the Boy Scouts of America) returned after the long holiday recess. Up and about early, a spokesman for (the President, Congress, the B.S.A.) stated that the first priority of Dusiness for the day would be an immediate concentration on (the economy, breakfast, Knot-tying skills). The announcement was received by a number of critics. including (Martha Mitchell, Jesse Helms Anita Bryant) who hailed it as (“Hogwash"’, “one great step for mankind”, “Good news for Orange growers”). The announcement was also well received (on Capital hill, in the White House kitchen, at Levenworth Penitentiary) where some officials were serving (subpoenas, Baked Alaska. time)
The orderly administration of business went along about as usual on this first day Dack, UP uNtI! Noon time, when (Earl Butz, John Dean. Wilbur Mills), who had been enjoying a holiday excursion in (the Creditbility Gap, prison, the tidal basin) returned to Washington and charged that he hadn't seen conditions in such a State since the development of (Kodak film, Watergate, Fannie Foxe). He further stated that he would wait to see if (Congress, his wife, the Special Prosecutor) would release (legislation, him, further evidence) before he (takes a position, gets drunk, hops a freight for Australia).
Upon his arrival his initial comment to newsmen was. (“Whatsa matta wit you, huh?” ‘Where's Mo? “Does this bus go to Argentenia?”’)
Meanwhile another story was leaked to the press this morning concerming (the President's skiing trip, current campus morality, threatening Middle East developments) and the public's attention was dramatically drawn to (the Oval Office, the dorm rooms of America, the Pentagon) where those involved were viewing (vacation slides, each other, Annette Funicelio movies) for the first time. One reporter on the scene quoted one of
those close to the action as saying, (“Let's do it again next year, honey!” “My turn.”, Surf's up!”) JU » 4 ;
NIGHT PEOPLE
As darkness descended on the Nation's Capital after this first full
day of business, it wasnt long until (the moon and stars. the “Swinging” crowd, the muggers) were out in throngs
gs. Probably the single most important (event, social gathering, Mugging) of the year occurred at (Perry's Pizza Palace, the National Gallery, the corner of 7th and Constitution Avenues) where (Lefty Driesell, the Smithsonian Ladies Society, an innocent bystander) was given (a cheese pizza in the face, a life-size portrait of Millard Filmore, two broken ribs and a black eye), by (an irate Wake Forrest fan, the Knights of Columbus, a9 ft. tall caucasian weightlifter with a baseball bat) Arriving quickly on the
scene, r2porters were able to quote someone as Saying, (“Amen”, “Millard es the hell's Biue Cross?”


ECU professors gather folklore for collections
By CINDY KENT Staff Writer
It is a cold, rainy night. A young man is driving along a dark highway. As he approaches a bridge, he sees a pretty girl standing in the road. He stops to offer some assistance
As the girl gets in the car, she asks for a lift into town. He complies and lends his Sweater to the shivering girl. He drops her off at her house. After driving away, he remembers his sweater
He returns to the girl's home to retrieve it and learns from her mother that the girl has been dead for twenty years. The young man goes to the graveyard and finds his sweater lying on her grave.
The familiar “Vanishing Hitch-hiker’ tale, regional as it may seem, is well-known nationwide folklore. Studies that record, catagorize, and Classify American folklore are becoming more prevalent nationally.
CORRECTIVE EFFORT
Dr. Paul Dowell and Dr. James W. Kirkland of the ECU English Department are both presently researching such folklore as ghost stories, legends, superstitions and jokes.
“ was always interested in folklore My grandfather was a great story-teller,” Dowell said.
Dowell and Kirkland are now w wking on a textbook which will “combine a thematical and technical basis” for teaching folklore, according to Kirkland. The text, which they hope to finish this year, will be similar to the freshmen English Two short story text
Dowell also hopes to publish his own collection of supernatural legends within the next few years. The publication will include legends of eastern North Carolina
Dowell first became involved in scholarly research when he wrote a paper on the “Devil in Southern Folkiore” for a Southern Literature Seminar while working toward his masters degree at the University of Georgia. Dowell later received his doctorate from the University
of Tennessee where he and Kirkland became friends

February,” said Dowell. “But there's ‘an enough time to sort it all out.” NEW VERSIONS Dowell, when
talking about the “Vanishing Hitch-hiker’, mentioned a new
and interesting version of the 200- year old tale.
“The story started out in New about five years ago and has undergone many changes since then,” Dowell said
This version concerns a young male hitch-hiker on the N.J. Turnpike. He gets in the car and fastens his seatbelt. A short time later, he says “Jesus is coming” and disappears, leaving his seatbelt still fastened.
Since then, the location of the story moved to U.S. 13 in Maryland and the youth has long hair and biue jeans.
Another version takes place in the midwest where the young man reportedly wears a white robe.
SPECIAL SEMINAR
A new course in folklore wil! be offered spring quarter for the first time. It is a senior level Course and listed as “Special Topics Seminar”. it is designed primarily for collecting, classifying, and analyzing folklore. The prerequisite is English 272, however, class enroliment wil! be limited to about 20 students
“The course will entail oral presentation and comparative studies,” Dowell said
“Eventually, we hope to end up with a fine collection of Pitt County folklore.”
If we have a really important archives, then historians, sociologists, collectors and novelists will come from al! over the country to do research here,” Dowell said

Skydiving is becoming popular sport
By BETTY HATCH Assistant News Editor
if you ever happen to see a cloud oming down out of the sky towards you, ook closely — it probably has boots on
Don't be surprised. This sight is becoming more common as the sport of kydiving becomes more popular.
Parachute clubs are being formed al! over the country to pursue and perfect this adventurous sport. One example is the Mount Olive Sport Parachute Club (SPC) in
Mount Olive. N.C

“THERE NOTHING TO it, just don’t look down!”
okydIvINg iS an entirely new worid,” Said Ear! Imes, head of the SPC. “What we have M@re is not a Dig Operation but it is a Safe one.”
The club owns a Cessna. 182 which it ses for its flights. Two certified uMpmasters, Larry Licari and Mark Mascoe, are on hand to guide the student UMpers and assist Imes.
Student jumpers seem to believe that ‘Ne first jump is the moment of truth, the ‘ime to muster up your Courage and follow 'hrough with your decision.
S unreal,” commented Glen Sanderson, a club member and former ECU student. “You ask yourself ‘What am doing?’ and hope you know.”
“Everything goes so fast.” Sanderson added. “You have to remember everything and get it right.”
‘It's a good way to forget all your problems Said Alan Fuller, another member of the SPC. “You forget
everything but what you're Supposed to remember.’
OWN SYSTEM
Skydivers have their own system of preparation. All jumpers must check their paracnutes, reserve parachutes, helmets. JUMPSuItS and boots. Many wear gloves for protection against the cold winds at high altitudes. The names of jumpers are noted in the “manifest”, a book used for Official records of jumpers’ experience
Each jumper receives training on the correct “stable position” (how to jump away the plane properly), body Positions in the air and how to land safely They also learn how to pack a parachute after it has been used and correct use of equipment such as the altimeter (which measures altitude)
from
FREE FALL
Jumpers begin with “dummy ripcord pulls, simulating the pulling of a ripcord while a “static line” pulis the real one out after they have left the plane. After three good dummy pulls, a student can make his first free-fall, pulling his own ripcord without the safety of an automatic pull by the static line. As the number of jumps increases, the number of seconds in free-fail (before pulling the ripcord) increases.
SIMPLE PRINCIPLES
Skydiving can be very exciting — seeing the earth spread out below you for miles. But it can also be dangerous, for a jumper can be killed or injured. Parachute maifunctions are rare but must be dealt with properly.
The parachute is based on very simple principles. Gravity pulls falling objects towards the earth but is weakened by the resistance of the air. Resistance is greated for an object with a large, flat surface such as a parachute. Therefore, the parachute must eventually reach earth but it falls very slowly.

Modern parachutes are generally made of nylon or silk. The umbrella part at the top is called the canopy, connected by many lines (or shrouds) to the jumper. The harness is shoulder and leg straps worn by the jumper and attached to the parachute. A handle or ring on the right is pulled to activate the ripcord, releasing the chute
When a jumper is facing the wind he is “holding” and thus slowing down his
descent. A jumper with his back to the wind is “running” (gaining the greatest possible speed by moving with the air currents). “Crabbing” occurs when a jumper's side is to the wind; this increases his control over the parachute’s direction.
For further information contact Imes at 778-4420.
And remember — even a cloud may not be what it looks like. That “cloud” may be
somebody you know — or even you!

Harrison's DARK HORSE: Winner
George Harrison - DARK HORSE
By BRANDON TISE Reviews Editor
Be kindly, Wander through this aarden's waysNor ‘et thine indignation prompt thy Hand to cast Revengeful Stones. Because perchance an Iimper faction Thou hast found. Some fiower laid ow or wan, Some tree Bearing no fruit; Some scene oerwrought; Some theme thy whim abhors, Some strange defect, Thy skill would ne’er let be, The Gardener wiled to make his Garden fair, Most for thy pleasure. ”
So says the inside jacket of George Harrison's latest effort: DARK HORSE. it is Nis first album since LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD which came out in July, 1973. A product of many late night sessions, the aibum displays the same engineering qualities as LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD with more spark and excitement in the songs and their performance. The performers inciude Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright, Klaus Voorman, Mick Jones, Roger Kellaway, John Guerin,
and Max Bennett as well as Harrison's great touring company: Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Jim Keltner, Robben Ford, Jim Horn, Chuck Findley, Willy Weeks, Andy Newmark and Emil Richards
Side One leads off with one of the
finest cuts on the album, the instrumental
Hari’s On Tour’ also known as “Hari Good Boy Express’ It was with this song also that Harrison led off many of his recent oncerts. Harrison plays slide guitar on this, and Tom Scott's horn work combines with him beautifully to really start the istener moving with the music
‘Simply Shady” is the second song, a siow, somewhat mournful Harrison tune displaying nice bass work by Max Bennett, and guitar by Robben Ford and Harrison. Third comes one of the highlights of the album, “So Sad”
it is very reminiscent of LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD type material but Classier. No weak points at all; not in the
musicianship , melody, lyrics or anywhere. “So Sad” is one of the Harrison jewels. The next song is the 1950's “Bye Bye, Love” a la Harrison. He has added lyrics to this to make a parody of his wife, Pattie’s, recently announced love affair
with Enc Clapton. Harrison said, “I'd rather she be with Eric than some dope” in a response to a reporter's question a couple of months ago, and his added lyrics are humor-bitter ndden. “There goes our lady with a ‘you know who hope she's happy and old “Clapper” tooNow I'm into romance shy away from loveGot tired of ladies that plot and shove me And that's the reason we all can see so clearly They see that our lady is out on a ‘spree’. The most humorous point of this whole song is that Eric Clapton plays guitar (what else) on this Eric-Pattie spoof
Side One ends with “Maya Love” a boogie-rocker with Harrison and Scott again combining, striving, and surpassing their goal for THE sound. This more than makes up for the weak lyrics and unfortunately, lyric-wise, Side Two gets worse
“Ding Dong-Ding Dong”, which incidentally are about one third of the lyrics, iS a great Christmas rocker with a surplus of talent on it, but the lyrics you can judge for yourself: “Ring out the old, Ring in the new, Ring out the false, Ring in the true Yesterday today was tomorrow And tomorrow, today will be yesterday
Ding Dong.” The Saving factor on this song is “Spirit” by who else than Sir Frankie Crisp?
Second, is the much played Single “Dark Horse”, the only SONG ON the albym recorded in America, with oft diScussed (Disgust?) lyrics and Harrison's hoarse (horse?) voice shouting out the words. My favorite of the “B” side however is the next song with music by George ang Ror (Faces) Wood, “Far East Man
At the very first George adulates Frank Sinatra a bit “1 love you Frank and hope you do this next time at Caesar’ s Palace then Billy Preston. Tom Scott. and Harrison again combine for a sound which makes you play this SONQ Over and over.
Finally, Harrison ends with 4 traditional tribute to his Easten beliefs. This one is called appropriately “t iS He (Jai Sri Krishna)” a perfect end to this tremendous album.
DARK HORSE is an improvement on LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD. only by its overall lighter, happier feeling and treatment of the equally excellent material. It is a completeWinner.
Fogelberg has hit with SOUVENRS
By CINDY KENT Staff Writer
Dan Fogelberg - SOUVENIRS
Dan Fogeiberg’s SOUVENIRS is a new album that has been getting lots of airplay recently on rock stations across the country. The reason: it’s a fine album with a lot of outstanding original material. Fogelberg writes in a easy-to-like style; one that has developed the name “country rock” as it gains popularity
Fogelberg himself is not new to the music world although his name is, having nad an earlier folk-type solo album. Now ne Nas emerged as a talented musician with more versatile capabilities, as he plays a total of 10 different instruments on the album besides composing ail of the songs and possessing changabie, outstanding vocal qualities. Among these instruments are acoustic and electric guitars, piano, organ, vibes, percussion, moog, and zither. Fogelberg also does all of the lead singing on the album. All of these instruments he plays with ease, topped off with some fancy guitar-work in a couple of his songs
Another major figure on the album is Joe Walsh, who besides producing the album, plays acoustic and electric 12-string guitars, electric 6string and electric slide guitars, arp bass, and does some of the background vocals
Several songs on the album appeal to the listener right from the start
One of these “As the Raven Flies”, isa semi-fast tune that although easy going, could be considered a rock and roll song due to the really fine electric guitar leads
It's minor key and rhythmical phrases add a lot of this song, as does the tune itself emphasized by some outstanding background harmonies. Classic to this song is the long instrumental last verse with its dual guitar leads.
Another particularly Outstanding song is the title cut, “Souvenirs”. Fogelberg here has obviously used all of his talent to produce this slow beautiful tune. The background is a simple acoustic one that adds to the basic appeai of the song, later accompanied by an accordion and string quartet which provide a pretty harmony in the background. Fogelberg’s voice adapts surprisingly weil to the softness of the mood, emphasized even more by some nice background vocals. This song is a true poem set to music, involving thoughts and memoirs of times past.
A completely different and refreshing side to Fogeiberg’s talent is presented with the song “Moming Sky”, a fast bDiue-grass tune. A great clogging and foot tapping song, it has instant appeal. The @aSy going melody goes right along with the words, as the banjo and Quitar players pick away at a breath-taking Speed in the background: “If there's something on your mind, You better say it while there's time, cause I'm leaving when see that morming sky”
Other outstanding songs inciude “Part of the Plan”, another easy-going song empnasized by a Sustaining organ accompanyment and congas background plus some nice harmonies by Graham Nash, and “Song From Haif Mountain”, a Slow tune with a flowing melody line and guitar accompanyment
‘liltinois”, “Better Change”. “The Long
Way”, and “(Someone's Been) Telling Your Stories” are all good radio material, most of them possessing an appealing tune with a medium-siow pace and nice background vocals on the choruses.
Other musicians that add a lot of this album are Russ Kunkel, drums, Kenny Passarellik bass, Al Perkins, pedai steel, and Jimmy Haskett, accordion. Also to be appreciated are Don Henley, Randy Meisner, and Glenn Frey, vocais, and Gerry Beckley, guitar.
The only possible complaint that could be raised against Fogelberg involves Originality; granted, all of his material is “original”. However, it is easy to hear that Fogelberg is part of a county-rock genre that has such influencing forerunners as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, American, Poco, and the Eagles.
However, Dan Fogelberg remains a talented musician with an album full of fine material to be enjoyed.

Ediforials‘SCommentary


No literature, please
FOUNTAINHEAD has recently been receiving quite a pile of literary articles in the way of English papers, poetry, auto-biographies, etc Some of the work was a sll did read it. However, time has come to expiain a bit of policy where prose and poetry conc have not printed any 7 "Fee, os as 2 nae ft that is our major objective. It is also our aim to entertain as much as possible. However, we really find it quite impossible to Pe our pages to the “finer sides” of writing. As it is we stay buried beneath pn gh sports, reviews and etc. We just do not have enough time, space or ability to iter judgements
: Still, there are other avenues open to students who are eager to see their name in orint. The Rebel is, officially, the literary magazine for ECU students. They accept submissions during the year (and in fact are nearly desperate for copy now). In the past, Rebel! staffs have produced some excellent magazines. However, last year and this they have been held back for one reason or another and Rebels have been scarce.
This is an unfortunate event. For, on a campus of this size there is no reason why the terary arts do not receive more attention. There needs to be such an outlet at ECU. FOUNTAINHEAD cannot do it, Buccaneer is strictly limited in their copy and art work. Therefore it should be left up to the Rebel to fulfill this need. They sincerely try, we believe. But a literary magazine cannot exist without words and art to fill the pages. Students must respond
From the submissions to our office and after talking to several English professors as wel! as Dr. Hester, chairman of the English Department, we are convinced there is a real need and demand for services such as the Rebel can supply
Because support of the past Rebels has been dwindling we looked into the possibility f another publication which would circulate around the English Department
Or. Hester agreed, “Yes, that's a good idea, but The prices of paper, ink, printing,
and time necessary to edit and design the publication seem to loom too large to nake such an organ feasible
Therefore. we come Dack to what we have. The Rebel is struggling for existence. If support is not rallied soon it may become altogether extinct
t is FOUNTAINHEAD’s hope that those of you who are showing an interest in being publicized wil! pass the word along and submit your material to the Rebel, rather than
FOUNTAINHEAD

Coming Attraction:
The Jack Anderson column will soon caase to appear in FOUNTAINHEAD. In Mr. Anderson’s place will apoear syndicated columns from well-known and influential Americans, such as; Art Buckwaid Bill Cosby, Dr. Jonas Salk, Col. Sanders, B.B. King, James Michener, Alan Shepard and 39 others. FOUNTAINHEAD hopes you will find them all enlightening and entertaining. Look for them soon.

‘14 leaves well-oiled
By JACK ANDERSON with Joe Spear
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, insiders facetiously Suggest, May have been speaking out of sheer frustration when he rattled his sword and raised the spectre of a Middie East oil war.
The year gone by was, after all, a tough one for America’s energy planners. Con- sider what has transpired since the Arab oil embargo :
- Kissinger, the diplomatic superstar, has tried to talk the Arabs into lowering their oil prices. Summoning up his noted gifts of persuasion, he attempted to convince the oil shiekhs that exhorbitant prices would hurt them in the long run. The result: the Arabs raised their prices.
On the home front, meanwhile, “Project Independence” was launched. It aimed a making the United States self-sufficient in energy production by 1985. But domestic oil production is down nearly five per cent from last year, despite record profits for the oil companies. Coal production has also been extremely disappointing.
- The voluntary oil conservation program has met with only mild success. The Federal Energy Administration estimates that Americans still waste as much energy as Japan uses.
President Ford will include some tough new conservation measures in his upcoming economic package. But unless he produces a master plan for the
international energy problem, the crisis will only get worse in 1975.
FRINGE BENEFITS: The unem ployment lines are growing longer, but there is one group of jobless Americans who aren't suffering. They are the defeated members of Congress whose terms ran Out on January 2.
Congress had thoughtfully provided 4 pension plan for those who fai! to get re-elected. It contains ali manner of clauses rarely found in industrial contracts.
Just a nominal contribution from their congressional salaries wil! qualify lawmakers, after they retire, for as much as $31,875 a year. Pensions are also paid on top of any Social Security or private retirement plans.
And for those who want to continue 0n the public payroll, if they have the right political credentials, can me White House a8 an ui ment office
The haruaalen ott usually find an ambassadorship or some other political appointment for defeated but deserving HUNGRY” AMERICANS: The word is slowly waking up to the fact that people are dying of starvation in Asia, Africa and Latin America. A shocking 10,000 men, women and children starve to death every week.
The United States is doing more (nan any other nation to rush food to the famine areas. But efforts to provide food for our
own hungry people have been scaled dow" in the name of economy. Continued on page nine.

We've come a long way from fighting for the vote, or SO advertisements keep telling us. We have entered the ranks of political power, according to the blaring, after-the-elections headlines of News- week and Time. We have become relevant, or so the burgeoning women's studies courses across the country seem to indicate.
But the real fabric of this country is a far cry from the life of Hollywood, politics, or the academic community. Perhaps it would do us well to take a few moments to consider how far we've really come.
The following examples are offered without comment so that we may gain a perspective on our real position.
Two Baptist ministers in New Milford, Conn are planning to sue the town’s school system over a sixth-grade home economics course which they claim causes homosexuality in boys. 5
The course is offered along with industrial arts to all sixth grade students. In it, boys and girls study food, nutrition, home safety, cooking and basics of sewing. According to the school superintendent, both sexes look forward to
the class “enthusiastically”. The two ministers however, have

The brochures are being distributed at most of the gathering places on campus for the Day Students and in each dorm room for the Dorm Students. If, for some reason, you do not receive a brochure and would like to have one please come by the SGA office and get one. It is most important that freshmen and sophomores get one of these since so often a couple of years of school life have gone by before a student has learned “through the grapevine” of many of the things his or her $25.50 per year is being spent for, or what
services are available
In addition to distributing these brochures to the student body, we hope to provide them to prospective students in the future so that they will know in advance what services are available to them. Hopefully this will encourage them to come to ECU. Also, we hope to distribute them to freshmen during freshmen orientation.
Student government
Public Relations brochure
In an attempt to narrow the communication gap between the Student Government Association and the overall student body, the SGA’s Public Relations office has published a brochure “It’s Your SGA” which outlines most of the programs the SGA is currently involved in. Of course this brochure does not include everything anyone might wish to know but it is hoped that it will provide enough information to enable one to know where, or to whom, he should go to get any information or service desired.
Did you know that there is free legal aid available to you or that there are several types of loans available? These are available and much more. This brochure lists most of

The effectiveness of the SGA depends largely upon the amount of interest and support given the organization by the student body. It is hoped that this brochure, “it’s ,
Your SGA” will cause you, the student body, to be better informed so that you can hetter
help us to be more effective.
Sincerely, Hubert Stroud Secretary of Public Relations, SGA

threatened to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to prevent their sons from becoming “sissies”.
“i'm no psychologist,” commented one of the pastors, “but know it’s true that ages 9 to 13 are the most important part of a child’s sexual development. Everyone has homosexual tendencies and this feminine stuff being taught is bringing about the moral decay of children.”
“By having a young boy Cook oF Sew, wearing aprons,” the other minister added, “we're pushing a boy into homosexuality. it's contrary to what the home and the Bible has stood for. When God set up the human race, there was a division of sexes. A woman's place is in the home. That's where God put them, barring unusual circumstances.”
Esther Vilar, author of The Manipulated Man has issued 4 men’s rights manifesto which claims that men, not women, are the true oppressed sex. As examples of women’s oppressive domination over men, Ms. Vilar points out
that:
‘Women use their buying power to influence advertisers to such a degree that they make it “practically impossible to criticize women in the public media. Wo- men therefore exercise indirect and yet

total censorship over the mass media.”
.Women send men off to fight wars while they cower at home when in reality they are “physically and psychologically more resistant than men.”
‘Women have taken upon themselves the decision of when and if to beer. children. Birth control and abortion are now for women only.
A handful of men at a predominantly women’s college, horrified at two attempted rapes of women students, recently organized a vigilante group to patrol the campus. They drew up a set of rules for the 2200 women which included designated areas where women may meet male friends and areas where women may not go with men. Failure to obey these regulations, according to the leader of the group, would result in men visitors having their “ass kicked”.
To date the only ass-kicking occured when a group of vigilantes attacked the editor of the campus newspaper (a woman) who objected editorially to their ideas.

of sand will occur on the other side. Ac- cording to Dr. O'Connor, the island will, therefore, become narrower.
“It is good that interest has risen concerning this area,” said Dr. O'Connor.
People from other areas who visit only during a summer would not notice the erosion. It would be easy for them to be swindied out of much money.”
Dr. O'Connor said they investigated nventoried sediments of the Northeastern coastal areas of North Carolina centering on the Roanoke Island portion in their research. The pair of researchers compiled a geologic history of the northern Outer Banks dating from 40,000 years ago to the present
“We developed a sea level curve spanning this time period,” said Dr O'Connor. “We analyzed sediments using various techniques including the dating of fossils by Carbon-14 to obtain the age of the formations.’
‘This method proved the Outer Banks were born about 6,000 years ago. At that time they were considerably more to the East than they are now.”
The actual system takes sand from one side and deposits an equa! amount on the other side. We found that the erosion can occur at a rate up to ten feet a year.”
A movie titled “Waterbound: Our Changing Outer Banks”, was produced
last summer by several members of the ECU faculty. It deals mainly with the time since man entered the Outer Banks in the 1930’
“Bob Rasch, chairman of the Department of Communication Arts. assisted in filming the movie,” saiq py O'Connor. “Also. along with Dr Riggs and myself, Jim Rees and Albert Pertalion of the Speech and Drama Depart ments and Terry Holtzclaw, an art student, al! worked on the film.” ‘
The movie has been shown on various television stations in this area Among those stations were WCTI-TV (Channe! 12 in New Berm, WITN-TV (Channe! 7) Washington, and the UNC-TV networt
‘Sea Grant sponsors projects on the current problems of the coastal zone of North Carolina,” said Dr. O'Connor. “Our next project with Sea Grant will be a stu of the erosion of estuaries within the sounds on the coast of North Carolina
Sea Grant is a division of the Nationa Oceanogr »phic and Atmospheric Adminis- tration. Two-thirds of its funds are fadera and one-third is state
“The objective of Sea Grant is public awareness,” said Dr. O'Connor. “It is necessary that the public understands the natural acts occuring on the Outer Banks as well as in other areas which Sea Grant covers.”

Increase will help veteran s education
The Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjust- ment Assistant Act of 1974 was enacted on December 3, 1974. The most apparent of itS provisions was an increase in education assistance. The rate for a single, fulltime veteran-student has been increased from $220 per month to $270 per month.
This aiso applies to eligible wives, widows and children. Other allowances are increased proportionately.
This increase is retroactive to Septernber 1, 1974. Most veterans and dependents received their adjustment checks in mid-December.
Another provision which will interest most veterans at ECU is the 9month extension, which is effective December 3. This is not a blanket extension.
First, as the law is now interpreted, only veterans and in-service students, not dependents, are eligible.
Second, hoiding an AB or BS degree is a bar to receiving this extension. Work toward a second undergraduate degree is not approvabie.
Third, you are eligible only if your original entitlement was 36 months.
Fourth, you must have been pursuing an undergraduate degree at the time your 36 months ran out.
Finally, no changes of program or course are allowed once you are being paid on the extension, except for the normal
from AAS to AB or BS.
Not so well-known is the provision which authorizes vocational rehabilitation to veterans with as low as a 10 percent disability. Under this program, the VA pays for tuition and books, and the veteran receives an allowance smalier than that






received by the non-voc-rehab student.
Under the new law, this allowance is $201 per month for a single veteran-student. Those veterans paying out-of-state tuition should be especially interested in this provision.

their willingness to accept this responsibility. Our task in establishing a first-rate, sound medical school here at East Carolina will be expedited through their help and guidance.”
Medical school
Continued trom page one.
While ECU will not have a freshman medical ciass in 1975-1976, Jenkins assured that ali the medical students who had been accepted at ECU would have a place at the University of North Carolina-Chapei Hill Medical School.
The delay will not serve as any real set-back for the ECU Medicai School, Jenkins assured.
“We had been hoping against hope that we could get around this Dut we can't. This should not affect the incoming Class of 1976,” Jenkins said.
The new ECU Medical School was approved late last year by the University of North Carolina Board of Trustees with a schedule that called for accreditation this year
In approving the idea of a four-year Medical School at ECU, the UNC Board aiso requested $35.2 million for construction of the medical school and another $3.7 million in operating funds.

Cagers take fourathome
By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor
Since the last issue of the FOUNTAINHEAD® East Carolina’s varsity basketball team played seven games, winning six, to push their season record to 7-4.
The Pirates, heading into their Southem Conterence schedule square off as a true threat to the defending conference champions, the Furman Paladins.
Here is an account of the seven games you may have missed.
One of the few good points which can be made about East Carolina's game with orgia State is the Pirates won, 88-79.
Scoring 49 points in a wild second half, the Pirates survived a poor first half to slide past an even more incompetent Georgia State opponent.
For East Carolina coach Dave Patton, the contest was baffling.
His team, which played well in three road games, had failed to play up to their capabilities in their third straight home sontest

indicative of the play in the game's first half was the first ten minutes of the contest. The teams were tied, 2-2, after one minute of play, but the next score did jot come until 14:30 was left when Reggie Lee tipped in a missed shot for a 4-2 Pirate a0
Two minutes later, Georgia State made their second basket of the game to close to within 64, with 12 minutes remaining in the half Midway through the first half, the score stood at 10-10. The lack of scoring was Not due to a slowdown style of play, but rather was due to poor play and Shooting on the part of both squads.

East Carolina extended their lead to 12 points twice, at 60-48 and 72-60. but Georgia State, behind Eddie Young (23 points) and Henry Myrick (16 points) rallied back to within striking range
Even though the team's game performance was poor, they showed some improvement in the second half and had good individual performances from some players
Bob Geter hit for 20 points, and gathered 12 rebounds, and Gregg Ashorn added 18 points. Larry Hunt led the Pirates in rebounding with 13.
The Pirates’ 22-7 advantage from the foul line proved to be the winning edge.
The best comment coach Patton made on the game was, “We should have paid to attend the game tonight.”
Perhaps the Pirates should have.
7 y,
BOB GETER hits for two in an early contest this year for the ECU basketball team. The Pirates now stand at 7-4 for the season.

ECU - 121 MERCER - 82
Against Mercer, the Pirates’ inef- fectiveness disappeared. Before about 3,000 predominately non-student fans, East Carolina defeated Mercer, 121-82
The victory was the most prolific contest played in Minges Coliseum since December, 1970 when the Pirates defeated Baptist College, 119-92. The Pirates’ 121 points were only five shy of the single game school record set in 1968 against Atiantic Christian College.
ECU outscored Mercer, 28-4, over a ten-minute stretch midway through the opening half, scoring 14 in a row at one time, and jumped to a 62-28 halftime advantage in route to the 121-82 win.
The Pirates shot 60 percent from the floor and outrebounded Mercer 36-18 in the first half as every available Pirate broke into the scoring column.
For Mercer, a 29 percent shooting precentage in the first half determined their fate. Nevertheless, Patton was pleased with the Pirates’ play.
“This is the way we are capable of playing,” he said. “We finally put it all together. We weren't making bad passes and we were hitting out shots.”
The Pirates 14-point streak started with ECU on top, 17-10, and moved ECU ahead 31-10 with about ten minutes left in the first half. Tom Marsh and Larry Hunt each collected four points in this span for the Pirates.
Soon after, East Carolina reeled off 12 more points consecutively to built the lead to a 45-14 advantage. With eight minutes left in the half, the game was never close again.
The scoring continued in tne second half as a total of 113 points were scored, ECU had 59 and Mercer had 54. Early in the half the Pirates rolled off ten straight points to go ahead 72-34 and never led by less than 33 the rest of the game.
Both teams played well in the second half, but ECU's lead was too much for the Bears’ to overcome and they were unsuccessful in their attempts to play error-free “catch-up” basketball.
With 7:01 left, Al Edwards became the first man to put the Pirates over the century mark this year when he hit a short jumper. The 101-55 lead the Pirates heid at the time was their biggest lead of the
As for individual effort for the Pirates, Larry Hunt had a career high of 18 rebounds and Reggie Lee was high Pirate scorer with 15 points, his season high. Hunt scored 14 points.
Al Edwards and Henry Lewis both looked good in their longest playing performance of the season. Edwards scored 11 points in 17 minutes and Lewis added eight points and ten rebounds in 14 minutes playing time.
In all, eight Pirates scored in double” figures, with no player scoring less than five points.
“ could not single out anybody,” said ECU coach Patton. “Everybody did a good job. can't think of anyone who did not do their job.”
The two teams attempted a record of 194 field goals and ECU's 50 successful field goals and Mercer's 103 attempted field goals were East Carolirla and Minges Coliseum records.
In Patton's words, East Carolina “Took a round-the-world trip” against Mercer and the win sent ECU fans home with an early Cristmas gift

Cagers pass century mark twice
ECU - 111 THE CITADEL - 81
After a two-week holiday break, East Carolina returned to Minges for their first game of 1975. In their opponent, The Citade the Pirates found a’team with a similar run and shoot offensive philosophy, as well as a team with the Southern Conference's leading scorer, Rodney McKeever. McKeever's scoring average was 26.8 going into the game.
Debpite their 4-1 record and McKeever, The Citadel proved to be only a small challenge for the Pirates. The Pirates, running and hustling all the way, took the bite out of the Bulldogs’ back with a 111-81 victory
The win made it two games in a row the Bucs had topped the 100-point plateau, the first time since the 1964-1965 season the Pirates had achieved such a feat
Caoch Dave Patton was happy with the team's play after the long inactivity
“All games are good ones when you win,” said Patton. “tl thought we played pretty good after two weeks layoff. There was plenty of hustle tonight.”
Larry Hunt and Tom Marsh led a Pirate rally which pulled ECU from an early 10-8 deficit into a commanding lead the team never relinquished
Outscoring The Citadel 29-8 over an eight minute stretch, the Pirates went into a decisive 37-18 lead and led at the half, 56-40
During the 298 surge, Marsh contributed al! of his 11 points for the half and Hunt added six. Both players ended the first hald with four-for-four field goal performances.
The biggest asset for the Pirates in the first half seemed to be their ability to shut off McKeever. The Pirates held McKeever to eight points and forced him to commit seven turnovers and three charging fouls.
However, coach Patton said the team did not try anything special to stop McKeever
“We just challenged our guys,” said Patton. “They have their pride and they don't want anyone to outdo them.”
McKeever finished the game with 22 points and eight assists, but also committed 11 turnovers and four fouls.
The first half was characterized by many fouls. A total of 29 fouls were called in the first half and a total of 53 were called in the game. Many of the fouls called, however, were due to overconcerned officials who, in their effort to prevent any fights, almost defeated their purpose.
The Pirates’ hustle, time and again,
forced the Bulldogs into costly tummovers. These turnovers enabled East Carolina to win the game going away.
In the second half the Pirates controlied play and as the game grew older, the Bulldogs became more futile in their efforts to catch up.
Leading 68-52, the Pirates found help from Al Edwards. Edwards has improved each game and is now one of the most important non-starters for the team.
Edwards hit for three straight baskets and Hunt and Buzzy Braman added a bucket each to give the Pirates a 78-54 advantage.
A few minutes later, the Bucs hit for ten straight points for a 92-63 lead. When Tom Marsh connected on a basket to put ECU at 100 with 3:21 remaining, most of the 4,015 fans started for the exits.
The 100-76 lead expanded to 111-81 by the time the final buzzer sounded.
“We played a good ali around game,” said Patton following the game. “Our rebounding was not as hoped it would be, but we still performed well in every category.”
“Don't misunderstand me,” said Patton. “The Citadel has a good team. They'll beat some people.”
Tom Marsh ended the game with 18

points and six rebounds, a performance Patton termed as Tom's “hast aame of the year, a fine basketball game.”
Marsh tailed to take any Giedit for the win.
“We won, that is all that is important.” said the 6-6 senior. “! was lucky enought to score some points. Maybe we wil! win ten in a row.”
Besides Marsh, Larry Hunt was a leader with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Hunt was 6-for-6 from the floor for the game and his 12 rebounds marked the fifth time during the season he had finished with ten or more rebounds in a game.
Every available player scored in the game with Edwards, 12 points, Bob Geter 14 points, and Wade Henkel, 12 points. aii finishing in double figures.
The win was the fifth in a row for the Pirates and brought their hore stand to a close with a perfect 5-0 mark. The Pirates next task was a three-game New Engiand trip which would find them traveling to Jersey City, N.J. and Storrs, Connecticut.
‘Hoop squad impressive on northern trip
By JOHN EVANS Soorts Editor
Before leaving with his team on a three-aame New England road trip, East Carolina basketball coach @ Patton said the trip would be a crucial test for the Pirates.
“This trip is going to tell us how good we can expect to be on the road,” Patton had said. “The test of a good team is to play and win on the road. We've played weil in our three road games but we haven't won yet.”
The road trip found the Pirates both winners and losers. The team won the first “wo games in the trip, running their win streak to a record seven wins in a row, before falling by the mere margin of two points to the University of Connecticut. Despite the 2-1 road series, the Pirates proved they were winners.
Even against Connecticut , Patton felt the tearm looked good.
“We got beat by a fine basketball tearn on their court with 4,500 fans yelling for them,” said Patton. “Our guys played a tremendous game.”
The series started in Jersey City, N.J. where the Pirates topped a scrappy St. Peter's squad, 96-92. Leading by as many as 15 in the second haif, the Pirates had to fight off the Peacocks’ press to win
Shooting an amazing 70 per cent from the floor for the gare, East Carolina built a large lead in the first half before St. Peter's cut the score to 55-48 at the haif.
In the second half, ECU built up to 83-68 before St. Peter's again employed the press to twittle away the Pirates’ lead
With 1:45 left, the Pirates were ahead by only 91-88, but never died. Earl Garner

BS situation, and it was all over for St. Peters

Larry Hunt and Al Edwards were the team leaders this time in a contest which saw East Carolina place six men in double figures.
Hunt, who is fast becoming one of the top big men in the conference, scored 20 points and led ECU off the boards with 11 rebounds.
Edwards, who grew up close to Jersey City, contributed 15 points in his first start of the year. Ail of Edwards points came in the first half.
Rounding out the Pirates’ double figure scorers were Bob Geter with 10, Ken Edmonds with 12, Torn Marsh with 11, and Buzzy Braman with 10.
Next on the road agenda for the Pirates was the Connecticut Classic in Storrs, Connecticut. In the Classic, the Pirates would place second, while watching their record-setting win streak end.
The opening game of the tournament for ECU came against the Baylor Bears. Against Baylor, the Bucs won easily, 73-57. The seventh win in a row for the Pirates, the win set a modern school win streak record.
Controlling the tempo of the game with their shooting, 51.6 per cent, and their rebounding, a 44-36 advantage, the Bucs jumped to an early 20-11 lead and a 35-30 half time lead.
Leading 51-47 with just under ten minutes left in the game, the Pirates applied the killing biow to the Bears, running off ten straight points to go ahead 61-47. Gregg Ashorm, the team’s high scorer, scored seven of the ten points during this stretch
ECU coach Patton said defense turned the game around for the Pirates.
“For the second straight night in a row, said Patton. “I think our defense tumed the game around for us in the
Second half. This is a tearm that does what
it needs to do to win.”
Patton said the siower tempo of the game may have been a factor in the first half.
“Baylor came out in a zone,” said Patton. “We had to siow our offense down. Still, we showed that we can play when we're not running.”
in addition to Ashom's tearm leading 16 points, three other Bucs placed in double figures, Larry Hunt and Bob Geter each had ten points and nine rebounds, and Buzzy Braman scored 12.
The Friday night win sent the Bucs against the Connecticut Huskies in the tournament championship game. Unfor- tunately for both the teams, a critical technical foul against East Carolina proved the winning edge in the Huskies’ 79-77 win over the Pirates.
Nip-and-tuck ali the way, the contest 1ound ECU and Connecticut trading the lead throughout the game before the Huskies rallied to pull ahead 76-71 with 3:31 remaining. ECU cut the lead to one at 76-75 and again at 78-77. But, with seven seconds left, the Pirates’ Gregg Ashorm was called for blocking and fouled out. At the same time, tne official rulea a technical foul on the Pirates bench. The Huskies missed the free throws, but Joe Whelton hit the technical. The ball went uver to Connecticut and the game was over.
The Huskies made four more free throws than East Carolina and this advantage proved to be the winning edge in the same.
Again the Bucs proved the superior rebounding team, outrebounding Con- necticut 36-32 with Geter grabbing 13 and Larry Hunt nine. Geter also led the Pirates in scoring with 17, as well as being the Pirate narned to the All-Tournament eam.
In the end, the Huskies’ home court
advantage was probably the big difference between the two evenly matched squads. Patton also ranked the Huskies, now 7-2, as one of the four top tearns the Pirates had played this season.
“We battied right down to the end,” added Patton. “Geter played a super game and Henkel gave us a lot on offense (16 points).”
“We outhit them from the floor and outrebounded them, but the blocking call on Gregg (ashorn) was crucial.”
The 79-77 loss dropped ECU's record to 7-4, but Patton stated he was proud of the team.
“I'm pleased with the continued team effort we are getting. Everyone has played super on this trip, and the team has shown a lot of character. Eastern Carolina can be proud of them, am.”
With three road games past, the Pirates return home this week with two Southemn Conterence games with Appalachian State on Wednesday and William and Mary on Saturday. Gametime for both contests if 8 o'clock.

but we could have beaten them anyway UNC is going to be tough and we're anxious to see what happens.”
Assistant coach Henry Morrow added “Every man swam great, even better than we had expected, and we had a lot of people swimming off-events instead of their best times. This was a great warm up for UNC whom we have never beaten but this year will be our chance at them.”
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill swim team overcame an early lead to defeat the East Carolina swim team 59-54 in a swim meet last Saturday in Chapel Hill

Hunt leads win streak
December proved to be a big month for East Carolina basketball center Larry Hunt. In December, Hunt overcame per- sonal shortcomings to become a big part in the East Carolina University Pirates’ 4-2 record for the month and a 43 record for the season.
Before the season, though, it appeared Hunt and teammate Reggie Lee may not even suit up for the Pirates this season because of training violations Which forced coach Dave Patton to suspend the two sophomores
Just before the season started, however, Patton reinstated the two players.
Hunt said this was a big reason for his success in December, as weil as changing his outlook on himself.
“The suspension made me realize we (Lee and Hunt) had to conform to the rules like everyone else,” said Hunt. “It brought me back down to where should have “Coach Patton gave us a second -hance and that meant a jot. Sure, the lay-off hurt mey but I'm getting back in
shape now.
Coach Dave Patton feels the experience heiped Hunt a jot.
“The experience made Larry a better person all the way around,” said Patton. “Of course, he helps on the boards. He nas been really sper.”
Although he got off to a siow start against North Carolina State and Duke,
arry finished the month with 80 points
wd 75 rebounds for seven games. The season total of i rebounds igh of 18
nciudes a personal career ebounds against Mercer on December 21.
Hunt topped ten rebounds four times in the team’s first seven games of the season.
Larry's 11.4 scoring average makes the Shelby, North Carolina native a double threat. His season high was 18 points against Georgia State on December 17.
Hunt views rebounding as his principal aid to the tearm, but not his only attribute.
“My biggest asset is rebounding,” said Hunt. “! work hard at it, but can score too.”
Larry's .540 shooting percentage through the Mercer game ranked him as the team's second most accurate shooter.
During December, the Pirates struggled through their first three games before finally breaking loose against Mercer and on Jan. 4 against The Citadel.
On the team’s sudden turn-around, Hunt commented, “We knew hot to do what we. were supposed to do, but our execution was poor. We had not yet jelied as a team. Now we are a unit and we are able to execute better than before.”
This years East Carolina Squad is basically the same personnel which finished 13-12 under Tom Quinn last year, but Hunt sees two big reasons for the team’s better play so far this season.
“The year of experience under out belts definitely helps,” said Hunt. “And the running. Coach Patton's ‘Celtic Influence’ of running all the time has been tremendous and a great asset. Everybody is off the bench and getting in shape.”
Larry also feels his new outlook towards religion has heiped him.
“Recently, have been getting into Jesus Christ and it really has helped me overall to be a better person both in my life and in athletics.”
December proved to be a time of change, growth, and maturity for the East Carolina team and Larry Hunt. Hopefully, January will be a continuation of the December growth.

Time-out

By JOHN EVANS
Many times in this erratic field of sports journalism one will find himself faced with problems which need explaining to those involved. One such problem has occurred in the case of yours truly and his sports coverage
the three teams which suffer
However, just as the basketball tearn has been highlighted in this issue, the following issues of the FOUNTAINHEAD will highlight other sports, in that ever present attempt to right the wrong. But first, congratulations are in order for the East Carolina winter spats
teams
As far as basketball is concerned, the team is 7-4 and is a prime contender to dethrone the conference champion Furman squad. The team's four losses were all to very good squads and the brand of basketball is above that found at this institution in many years. But then, you can read about it today
Next we come to swimming, where coach Ray Schart leads a top-notch eam which Stands 4-1 through five dual meets this season. His team meets a strong Maryland team this weekend. Two swimmers, Gary Pabst and Tomas Paimgren, were top candidates for this month's FOUNTAINHEAD Athlete for December award
The wrestling team, coached by John Welborn, has beaten several nationally ranked Squads this year on the way to its own national ranking. The squad opens its home season Saturday night at 8 o'clock against Appalachian State Be there
Last, but not least, we come to Bill Carson's indoor track squad. The team, paced by sprinters Larry Austin and Carter Suggs, and a record-setting mile relay tear has just finished two impressive meet performances, including last week's CYO meet. Austin,
earlier this year, ran a 6.0 60-yard sprint
So, despite my poor planning, the East Carolina winter sports program deserves a the best way to do so is to support the teams when they are at
great deal of recognition home
December's Athlete of the Month selection by the FOUNTAINHEAD finished in a tie y Hunt of the basketball team and Tom Marriott of the wrestling team
between Larn
found myself, upon returning from break, faced with an over abundance of
basketball coverage and not enough coverage of the other sports teams.
. What evolved was what you see in today's sports pages, a large amount of basketball
and too little of anything else. As the typist quipped while leafing through miles and
miles of sports, mostly basketball, “maybe we should make this a special issue.” Unfortunately that is what had to do with this issue and basketbal! and apologize to




TOM MARRIOTT is ECU's top wrestier in the 142-pound class. A senior, Mariott is from

Ladies open hoop sked
East Carolina's Varsity Womens’ Basketball team opens their 1975 season this weekend with a three-game slate of games to be plfiayed in Carmichael Auditorium in Chapel Hill.
On the agenda for the team are games with Western Carolina (Friday night) and Elon College and UNC-Chapel Hill on Saturday. The three game week-end slate will get the girls off to a running start for their 18-game schedule, which includes three tournaments and, hopefully, a trip to the State Basketball tournament in Boone late in February.
The Elon team was State champ last year and Western Carolina squad placed second, so the three-game test should be an excellent chance for coach Catherine Bolton to evaluate her troops.
Before this weekend, however, . Lady Pirates will participate in the annua Purple-Gold squad game in Memorial Gy™ tonight at 8 p.m. —
The Purple squad, which me © the Varsity players, will be led by Shei Cotten and Susan Manning agg Swenholt is also a top holdover from year's 7-4 team.
