However, that $300,000 was not enough, Moore said, so the 1974 General Assembly amended the Original proposal to allow for the sale of $475 thousand worth of bonds, an increase of $175 thousand over the first light construction estimation
To pay off these bonds totaling $475 thousand, Moore admitted that the plans called for the student body to pick up the ost for the entire project

for academic buildings on campus,’ Moore contended.
While Moore could not name any specific student desire for the lights, he assured that “there was some student involvement in the plan”
Raising student fees to pay for athletic facilities is nothing new at ECU.
Students were first taxed in 1967 to pay for the student grandstand section of Ficklen. That cost $600 thousand in bonds and raised student fees $3 per quarter.
Moore pointed out that the south side of the stadium was built completely with private funds, but the $475 thousand lighting system will light the entire facility and that no private funds will be used.
While Moore said that it is his belief that students are already paying enough in student fees for athletic facilities, he could not be sure that student fees might not also be .ncreased in the future to pay for stadium enlargements or some other athietic program.

CONSTRUCTION HAS ALREADY begun on the new lights in Fickien Stadium

Little student input cited by Lucas on fees increase
By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer
Students should have had a bigger voice in the decision to construct a lighting system at Ficklen Stadium that will cost the students $2 per quarter, according to Bob Lucas, Student Government Association President.
Lucas stated Tuesday that there was little student input on a project that he feels is not realty necessary and which has serious implications in the future.
“Students should have played a bigger role in the planning of the project, particularly the part that dealt with who would pay,” Lucas said.
“The students are being forced to pay for the entire lighting system, though nobody asked them about it,” he said.
“ thought the lighting was adequate. Let's just say that never bumped into anyone while attending a game,” Lucas joked.
The SGA president also noted that the
students were already paying for one side of the stadium and now for the lights and that there was “no telling” what could be next.
“Where do we go from here? From bleachers to lights to a bigger stadium and then maybe a dome. And ali of it coming out of student fees,” Lucas said.
“ feel very strongly about this situation and think that most of the students on campus also feel this way,” Lucas asserted.
A resolution asking the SGA to sponsor a referendum on the issue will be introduced at the next meeting of the SGA Monday, February 3. Lucas assured that he would support the move.
“ realize that it is probably too late to do anything about the lights, but we must
go on record as being opposed to this. oe then somebody may stop and think the next time plans are made to hike up student fees to pay for something like this,” Lucas said.

ONE OF THE HOUSES to be tom down on are “relocated” to “comparable quarters”.
The New East
By STEVEN MESSICK
The New East magazine invites writers to submit articles conceming eastern North Carolina.
interested writers should contact Dr. Thomas A. Williams, a French professor at ECU and the new contributing editor of the Magazine
We are trying to solicit a staff of writers that we can count on for ontributions,” he continued. “The arti- cles can be written on any topic related to the eastern part of the state, preferably east of Raleigh.”
The articles should be written in an informal and anecdotal style, and contain between 1,000 and 2,000 words. The magazine also welcomes photographs related to the stories.
‘The New East is not a scholarly publication, and no monetary rewards are given for articles published,” said Dr. Williams. “Interested writers should consult with me to check out the slant of their proposed article.”
The New East magazine was founded
(two years ago by a Regional Development
institute. It has now been tumed over to Private enterprise with Joe Paget as the editor-in-chief. It is printed by the National Publishing Company.
Interested persons can contact Dr. Williams, Box 1673, ECU.

ECU, now pushing out behind Mendenhal! Student Center towards Tenth Stis continuing to expand Its boundaries.
“The Board of Directors is trying to purchase all the land on both sides of Ninth St from Cotanche St. to the boundary behind the library,” said Clifford G. Moore, Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs.
Eight houses have already been torn down on the section of E. Ninth St. between Charles St. and Cotanche St.
“All the new land will be used for university registered vehicle parking,” said Moore
Prior to 1971, the federal government compensated the occupants of a house to be torn down with a moving fee and relocation expense. Since the passage of a bill in 1971 in the North Carolina State Legislature, this is now the responsibility of the state.
The relocation expense entities the rental occupants being moved to find comparable quarters. The state pays the difference between the new rent and the old rent.
“These homes are all acquired by the state from the owners voluntarily, without coercion,” said Moore. “The university has stopped buying property on E. Ninth St. until the state allocates us more funds.”
ECU has asked for $1.5 million for the purchase of additional land, Moore said. This is pending before the state legislature.
The International House on E. Ninth St a center for foreign students, will be exempted.
“The International House will stay up until the university builds a new center,” said Moore.
“The original plan was to build an $800 thousand dollar planetarium in the parking area on E. Ninth St. behind the new library addition,” said Moore. “The outlook for

, . ch, wap ie
For lunch and dinner
rking the building of this planetarium anywhere on campus is bleak.”
The expansion of the university's boundaries has affected many student residents on E. Ninth St.
“We will be out of our house by the beginning of Spring quarter,” said Pete West, vice president of Kappa Aipha fraternity. “Originally we were to be evicted at the beginning of Winter quarter. We had problems finding a new house and received an extension on our notice.
“Our new house is located on the comer of Eleventh and Charlies St next to the Alpha Xi Delta sorority house,” said West. “We liked our location on E. Ninth St. but the new place has a big side lot. We plan to build a party room and a new addition.
“Dr. Leo Jenkins and Clifford Moore were real nice about moving us,” he said.
E. Ninth St. dead-ends behind Joyner Library. For the people living there, the relocation means more than just another neighborhood.
“This area is close to campus, the women’s dorms and downtown,” said Bradford B. Smith, sociology major, who lives at 604 E. Ninth St. “The proximity to these vital areas meant didn't need a car.
“Frankly, if the administration wants our house we will stand and fight,” said Smith, “though, when they decide it's time to tear down our house, we will move.
“To the many people who have lived here at the ‘dead end’ it's a part of campus folklore,” said Smith. “To the university, it's just another street.”
Other residents of E. Ninth St. echo the sentiments of Brad Smith.
“I like the location because it’s quiet; there's not much traffic because of the dead end,” said Chris L. Cheek, a business major who lives at 603 E. Ninth St. “I don’t want the administration to destroy these old homes for the sake of more parking space.
“The housing situation le very tight and this would put more people on the street,” said Cheek.

Pitt County area


Child abuse cases raise public's attention
By GAYLE McCRACKEN Staff Writer
Child abuse! It’s enough to make one sick
“The Pitt County child abuse case load has just about doubled on a yearly basis since 1971,” according to Mrs. Jo Ann Smith, supervisor of Child Affairs for the Pitt County Department of Social Services
‘We have 15 to 20 new referrals each month,” said Mrs. Smith. “In neglect, each case averages three chilren.”
“Seventy to 75 percent of the referred cases are confirmed. Sometimes they are more or less severe than they were reported to be.”
The Social Services Department has had two severe abuse cases in the past year. Both resulted in death
‘One child was apparently beaten to death by someone,’ said Mrs. Smith. “The child was dead on arrival at the hospital. There were multiple fractures and lacerations and marks on the chiid.
“Just very recently, an eight-month-old nfant was brought to the hospital dead on arrival. The child appeared to have been baked
We have recently had a number of referrals on children for incest, rape and crime against nature. Of course, with ncest the parent is the perpetrator, Dut with rape and crime against nature, the aretaker is often involved.”
Severe cases are in the minority, said Mrs. Smith. In abuse cases, she offers Stress” as the leading factor
Most of our referrals are received from neighbors, relatives and schools,” said Mrs. Smith. “The remainder come from 20urts, law officials and physicians
One reason for the case increase is that people are becoming better educated and more aware. With the mandatory Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act of 1971, there was a great deal of public nformation and education in this area
Many times, through the referrais, we will pick up on other problems in the family. Often, another referral is appropri- ate for marital counseling or handicapped children.”
Mrs. Smith noted various situations that promote “stress” and resulting child abuse
“A large number of our children do come from low income families, especially in the area of neglect,” said Mrs. Smith ‘They have no food, heat or shelter. This constitutes a ‘neglected child’.
“This usually exists due to financial stress or just lack of any financial resource whatsoever
“Many times the agency, along with other services provided by the agency, is able to help the family begin receiving some of the resources necessary to improve its economic situation.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
“Speculatively, we have as many cases from intact families as from those without fathers,” said Mrs. Smith. “Our system is set up SO that when the father is out of the home, the family can receive financial assistance. When both parents are providers, there is little assistance.
“Alcoholism is a definite problem, contributing to both physical and emotional neglect. Usually we see most of the effect in teenagers.
RETARDATION
“Retardation is also a factor in some of the neglect and abuse cases we receive Sometimes the factor is the adult, when one or both of the parents is slightly to severely retarded.
“The parents try to provide for as many as five children, with some of the chidiren being retarded or physically handicapped.
‘Angel Flight’ onthe
wing atECU
College life got you down? Do you find yourself moping around from class to class with no inspiration or get-up and go? ANGEL FLIGHT may be the solution tO a dull college life. What is Angel Flight? Angel Flight is a unique organization of selected college coeds who combine service for others, fun. and friendship to make a meaningful and rewarding experience at ECU. Angel Flight is a nationally affiliated organization with a combined membership of over 3,000 college women. The National Head-
quarters is presently located at Oklahoma State Unviersity
MAIN PURPOSE
The primary purpose of the Organization is to serve the Air Force cadets on campus and help promote the interest and respect for the corps that it deserves. Angel Flight members are not members of AFROTC and have no military Obligation. The broad purpose of the Angels is to serve the community, the university, and the AFROTC
Angel Flight is more than a service sorority — it is a growing sisterhood and a spirit, a bond, and a unity of goals and achievements. Service is an important aspect of the organization and Angels sponsor and participate in numerous community service projects. Some such projects inciude sponsoring a costume Halloween party for underpriveleged children of Greenville, a Secret Santa for a Greenville foster child; the annual March-athon to collect for the march of Dimes; sponsoring university Red Cross Blood Drives, and many others.
Why not investigate the advantages of joining Angel Flight? Drop into our head- quarters on first floor Whichard annex or better yet, join us for Rush—February 11th in Mendenhall Center, Multi-purpose room at 7:00 p.m. We want to show you how Angel Flight can make your life at ECU more enjoyable and worthwhile.
“Many of these people have not received community support. They have not had the resources to build what potential they have
“We also see patterns of children who have been abused, abusing their children. Some research has been done to substantiate this.
“Oider children are becoming aware of people who are concerned about their Situation
“Behavioral problems are often a child's cry for heip,” said Mrs. Smith. “I wonder if there are not more adults listening to what chidiren have been Saying all along

“Campus police forces have become more professional in order to aid the universities in their court cases,” said Calder. “Students have gained a lot but lost a lot. It's a two headed monster.”
Accordingly the East Carolina campus police have improved along with the rest. The supervision of this force is the responsibility of Joseph H. Calder.
Calder has spent 28 years as an investigator for the federal government in both a military and civilian capacity. He has been at ECU since 1970.
The university employs 18 full time police officers, 16 in uniform and two in civilian clothes. Also one part time officer is employed who is a student.
“ have three officers who are full time students here are East Carolina and another nine who are attending Pitt Technical Institute,” said Calder. “! have only three older officers not participating in higher education at this time.”

ECU student spends summer in France
By PAT COYLE Staff Writer
Most foreign language majors dream of Spending a summer in the native country of their chosen language. For a French hi Diane Harris, this dream becarne a reality.
Diane, a junior at ECU, went to France via the au-pair system. Each year, the Au-Pair Organization of Paris places thousands of American coeds in European homes for the summer.
Au-pair girls receive room and board, plus a small salary and, in return, are expected to take care of the host family’s Children and perhaps help with housework.
Diane's family, the Freyts, live in Paris. Freyt works with Intemational Business Machines (IBM), and his wife is employed by Swissair.
Diane was responsible for the care of 'he Freyts’ 6-month old baby and for some light housework.
The Freyts were really more like friends than employers,” said Diane. “! 'unctioned more or less as a family
Very little English was spoken in the home, she went on to say.
“The good thing about the au-pair system,” said Diane, “is that it’s an inexpensive way to stay in an environment where you have to speak French. That's by far the best way to learn a language.”
The’ greatest expense invoived is air transportation, which cost Diane about $200. Aside from linguistic improvement, Diane cited the understanding of another culture as a benefit of her stay in France.
“ was impressed by the warmth of the people met,” she said. “Plus, the French families seem closer. They take more time to enjoy life together.”
After earning her degree, Diane pians to pursue an embassy career because “I like communicating with people, and would like to learn other languages.”
in reference to other students interested in the au-pair system, Diane said, “I'd encourage anyone to go. It’s not an impossible dream. It was one of the most valuable experiences of my life.”

Prior to employment an officer undergoes a background investigation, a physical, and must take a test.
A police recruit must complete 180 hours of state law enforcement instruction. After completion of this training an officer is on probation for one yeer.

Smothers Brothers Show
SMOTHERS RETURN: TRYING TO COOL IT
The Smothers Brothers after a four-and-a-half year “layoff” have been asked back to television by NBC. Their show, “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour’, is on Monday night, 8 p.m EST for at least the next ten weeks. Then if Tommy and Dick have been good little boys and the Nielsen families are watching, they may be kept on
Both behaving and ratings are required; ratings along are not enough, as their former show proves. It was Canned in the spring of ‘69 even though it ranked among the country’s most popular shows. The controversial satire, including Cuts on the president, was known to be the reason for the canning
Yes, T.V. has finally caught up with the Smothers or else the Smothers have toned Jown to T.V. Watching the program does not Neip one to decide which has happened
For example, on Monday night's
program (Jan. 27), a personality as uncontroversial as Olivia Newton-John everyones sweetheart) is brought on to pieasantly giggle her way through “If You Could Read My Mind” with Dick. Everyone S ail applause and smiles at sweet little Olivia
Even the first skit, a spoof on psychologists (in which David Steinberg plays the psycho psychiatrist) is so silly as to not be too insulting to the profession.
The viewer is given a further dose of silliness as Tommy (the dumb one) Stutters into a monologue on his “pet cloud” after giving a public service announcement on kind treatment to pets.
At the point in the show, have yet to scream and shout. But
After a sedate Ivory Liquid commercial ( still believe the cheaper brand is cheaper no matter how many damn dishes you can do with Ivory), we have a parody of the Dean Martin show roastings. Tom and Dick use Uncie Sam (the one who WANTS YOU) as the one to be roasted. And he is, and he is.
The roasters inciude: 1) Statue of Liberty, 2) Christopher Columbus, 3) Jonn Q. Public, and 4) American Indian. Uncie Sam is hit hard. (Colum bus: “When came here the land was
green; now the sky is green.”) When the American Indian hits Uncie Sam with his tale of cruel treatment, the audience aimost stops laughting. Here was serious criticism - not silly puns.
The show ended with an audience sing-along of “Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore” with Tommy (the dumb one) inserting these lines between verses :
“We all voted for peace
We all voted for justice
We all voted for good things for ail people
And we all got BEEP.”
Better cool it, Tommy. Big Brother is still watching and he may get you again.

Coffeehouse
Mad Mountain Mime Troupe, a new group consisting of two young mime artists and an accompanying musician will be the special attraction of the Canticle this Friday and Saturday, January 31 and February 1
Mad Mountain Mime was formed by C.W. Metcalf, Tom Pierce and Tim Bays to take mime to places it had never been before - to coffeehouses, schools, prisons and asylums. The Troupe takes its audiences on a tour of the senses through their use of movement and music. Their mime iS a true art form through which they can act Out stories, many of which have philosophical messages. An example of this is their skit on the evolution of man — bone to arrow, arrow to piston, pistol to rifle, rifle to bomb, bomb to bone.
C.W. Metcalf, one of the most outstanding American mimes, studied in one of the few mime schools in the worid and directed the first American seminar in mime. His present position is mime artist-in-residence at Florida State Unviersity. Tom Pierce began his career as

a Barnum and Bailey Circus clown. He met Metcalf at FSU where he began to st mime. Together, Pierce and Metcait establish a rapport with audiences that resembles a joyful kind of insanity. Tim Bays provides music for the mimes with his guitar and voice. Before joining Mad Mountain, Bays was a member of the group, Chicken Delight, which performed in clubs from Colorado to Michigan. He with his own style of COMpOsing and singing, does with music and words what mime does with silence.
Mad Mountain Mime has received Standing ovations in clubs, an occurrence which is extremely rare. Their effect upon audiences has been described as Causing those who see them to respond with. rather than to, the performance. They use music and mime to make feeling an amazing thing. They make the invisible visible, audible and real. It's music, heart and guts that you see and hear
Two shows will be performed nightly at 8 and 9 p.m. in room 244 of Mendenhali Student Center. Students, faculty and their guests are welcome.
BOOKS
EARTHWALK By Philip Siater
In The Pursuit of Loneliness: Amer- can Culture at the Breaking Point. Philip Slater explored man’s inability to live as a ‘Social being.
In his book, Slater examines the ideas basic to Western culture - progress, self- discipline, self-sufficiency and scientific rationalism - and charges that they have acted as “disconnectors” to alienate man from himself. He argues that we have developed along schizoid patterns - minds separate from bodies and individual selves separate from the community - and that we have assumed that technology could solve our problems. :
But, according to the author, mans efforts to “rise above” his own ecological system are futile and self-destructive. stead, he recommends that we deny progress as an absolute value and become more responsive to each other “to make whole what we have truncated” and save mankind from destruction.

ANNIE DILLARD EXPLORES NATURE IN PROSE AND POETRY
Annie Dillard lives in seclusion on
res of Tinker Creek in a valley in nia’s Blue Ridge. By vocation she is a ind a freelance writer, but by at she is an explorer: “ explore the neighborhood. and am also a stalker, the instrument of the hunt itself. ama wanderer with a background in theology and a penchant for quirky facts.”
it was this exploration of her neighborhood” which led to Dillard's first two books a poetry collection, Tickers for a Prayer Wheel , and a book of prose, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
Tickets for a Prayer Wheel , which was oublished in hardcover last year by the University of Missouri Press, features 24 poems by Dillard dealing with her visions of the small details of living, as well as the arger movements of tek world and the spirit and Senses
Pilgraim at Tinker Creek , which the author calls “a meteorological journal of
the mind,’ telling some tales and Jescribing some of the sights of this rather tamed valley,’ became a literary
phenomenon when published in hardcover ast March, receiving rave reviews from ail quarters and a National Book Award n. It was also a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club
But it began innocently enough as notations in a spiral notebook, which Dillard started in order to keep occupied while she was trying to quit smoking. She followed the cycles of the season at Tinker Creek. recording her observations of its andscape and natural inhabitants, along with the minutiae that dd to the wonder she finds there: There are 22B muscies in the head of a caterpillar, six million leaves nan old elm, 14 billion root hairs on a rye piant
she delights at the sight of a mockingbird experimenting with free ‘all. “Just a breath before he would have been dashed to the ground, he unfurled his wings with exact, deliberate careand so ‘loated onto the grass.” Or a muskrat floating on its back in the creek, “an enchanting picture of decadence, dissipation and summer sloth.”
When she felt ready to make use of the Material, she sent three chapters of the manuscript to her husbamd’s literary agent. Two of them were published in Harper's Magazine and one in the Atlantic. Reader response prompted Harper's editor-in-chief to publish Dillard's complete book in a hardcover edition (Harper's Magazine Press).
It received such cricial acclaim as: Pligrim at Tinker Creek is a wonder "1S So fine that it requires only praise, yet ‘IS SO intricate a work and so personal an experience that it is almost impossible to do it justicelt must be read slowly, peaps a chapter a day, then experienced and contemplated and shared with Others (Chicago Daily News)
A reader's heart must go out to a young writer with a sense of wonder so gi and unbridled. It is this intensity Perience that she seems to live in 0@r to declare(Eudora Welty, The New York Times Book Review) :

‘Annie Dillard is most beautiful and professional with her own personal observations. She can write very well, as when she describes the effect of hurricane Agnes upon Tinker Creek, and succeeds in lending the flood an aimost cosmic significance.” (Loren Eiseley, The Wash- ington Post)
Annie Dillard was raised in Pittsburgh, Pa and received her B.A. and M.A. from Hollins College, where her husband, Richard Dillard, is a professor. She is contributing editor to Harpers Magazine and a columnist for The Wiidermess Society
ONE WOMAN'S LIBERATION By Shirley Boone
“I've been the ‘neglected housewife’, the ‘forgotten woman’, toiling in the kitchen, washing the same clothes and cooking the same meals year in and year Out, raising kids and serving a husband - and being taken for granted. grew up as ‘Red Foley's daughter,’ then became ‘Pat Boone's wife,’ and then ‘The Boone Girls’ mother !
I've wondered if there was such a thing as real liberation for this one women.
And thank God, there was - and is!”
The words are Shirley Boone’s, taken from her autobiography, One Woman’s Liberation published in hardcover by Creation House and now in Bantam paperback. It is the story of how Shirley's yearning for love and search for her own identity at the height of her husband's career was requited through a startling religious awakening that saved her marriage and her faith.
It begins with her upbringing in a God-fearing show business family whose household was uprooted several times during her childhood because of the demands of Red Foley's career. She first met Pat Boone in Nashville at the age of 13, and describes their courtship through high school culminating in their marriage over his parents’ objections.
Though Shirley and Pat knew the difficulties of living a Christian life in the entertainment field, she encouraged him to pursue his singing career. Her wildest dreams and fears were realized when her husband became the number one recording and motion picture star in the country overnight, and, as she believed, began to drift away from the Christian convictions by which he was raised. She, too, felt her own faith shatter as she tried to adopt a new swinging image to keep up with the Hollywood crowd.
After years of emotional conflicts and self-condemnation, she finally found the strength to cope with her trials by recommitting her life to Christ and becoming a child of God. It is a spiritual commitment which her husband and their daughters now share most fervently.
and their four daughters, Cherry, Lindy, Debby and Laury, on records, television and the stages of concert halls, nightclubs and religious revivals. She is 4 former National Entertainment Chairman for the March of Dimes and, in 1972, won the California Mother of theYear Award. The Boones live in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Damnedonlyby fools
Man couldn't live if didn't have legscan’t imagine how blind people get around, Sure COuldn'tyou re crazy
How many times have we heard words like these, spoken in tip of the tongue naivete
with no harm meant? For more than 230 handicapped students enrolled at ECU, too
Dr. Sheldon Downes, chairman of the Department of Rehabilitation Counseling at the schoo! of Allied Health and Social Professions, explained that there are 230 known handicapped students (those receiving a type of state aid) and many more who are inknown. Of the 230, approximately ten are in wheel chairs (paralyzed) and over 20 are egally blind. For these students it is easier to try and control our choice of words in their presence. We can see their disabilities
But for more than 200 other students suffering from what Dr. Downes calls, “invisible handicaps’, their days are filled with pain, inflicted by people who ‘Just didn't know’.
nvisible handicaps include emotional illness, orthopedic and cardiac problems, liabetes, high blood pressure, alcoholism and many others. They could perhaps live very normal lives if not for the daily injury and reminder
But slips of the tongue are merely a part of the inconsideration and cruelty being dealt
Ut to these peopie
The major problems are the attitudinal barriers. When we see handicapped people usually Our first reaction is either to look away or stare. Help or even a friendly helio is seidom offered. We don't know how to act toward the handicapped because we believe nside they are not a total person with feelings, needs and sensitive natures like
urselves. How could they be? The plight of the handicapped has always been a Jegrading one.“ THEY CAN'T DO IT.”
But time and again disabled persons have proved they CAN do it. They have shown themseives to be capable, willing and complete. How long will they remain “the Jamned”? When will we finally be able to look at a handicapped person as another person
More handicapped are enrolling in colleges and universities each year. They are proving excellent students. But what chance do they have when even professors, men and women with supposedly broader horizons, protest at having THEM in their classrooms? Yes, this is happening at our school. In fact, the unconcemed callousness at ECU s appalling! Bicycles are left blocking the ramps for wheel chairs, biind students "un risks Of Being mowed down by racing cyclers, we are afraid to lend a heiping hand to Strugg!ing disabled persons. Worst of all, the handicapped are forced tc remain trapped 1 their own worlds, alone, lonely, hurt. Have they brought this upon themselves? If we
Ou'd place ourselves in their position for a day we might understand what we are putting "hem through. How about the invisibly handicapped, some with terminal i!inesses they KNOW Can only end in death, overhearing jokes and laughter about “people like THEM"? How can they continue, so wounded to the soul?
We Nave much to be ashamed of at ECU. While we shout and yell our indignance at
entringement of student rights, equal rights, women’s rights, legal rightswhat about
the right to live as normal a life as possible, without pain, loneliness, neglect. Until we learn to see handicapped persons as full persons with so much to give, we will Continue cheating ourselves as well as them, of a normal life. We will continue as
Neartiess fools
gnorant and callous. We will continue to fail the test of sensitive. Mature persons, students and faculty alike, with concern for our fellow man until we look
dsely al Ourselves and our disabled brothers and face what we are doing to them The damned” are damned only by fools!

Inflated grades devalue
(CPS)-—-Food, gas and tuition prices aren't the only victims of inflation these days. Enter the new martyr: grades
Across the country, a nigh grade glut has spread. At many schools, the normal bell curve distribution has been jarred out of whack as B has replaced C on the average grade
At Yale, aimost half of the undergraduate spring term grades were A's. And at Sanford University the average grade point accumulation has spirailed to 3.4 In the last ten years, the University of North Carolina has doubled the percentage of A's it handed out.
“A few years ago, a C would put you in the middie,” said Douglas Hobbes, a political science professor at UCLA. “To day it puts you in the bottom third of the class.” concern over grade inflation—and the resulting devaluation. Graduate school Officials, they have warned, have begun to dismiss the grade transcripts of their applicants as plainly misleading, and are concentrating instead on test scores.
And since everyone seems to be getting A's and B's, graduate schools and employers have begun resorting to elitism in their selections: better a Princeton A, they reason, than an equal mark from a less familiar school.
Grade grubbing has been cited as a prime factor behind the soaring grades. The tumultuous 60's are over and Students are again hitting the books. With the depressed job market and the increased number of undergraduates, competition has toughened for graduate school admission, particularly to medical and law schools
,
In a broader sense, students may be grasping for grades as a token of their worth. “A ‘B' is saying to students that they're only ‘B’ persons,” one Stanford University professor said
In any case, competition nas become the name of the game. “Its moved beyond mere grades,” Jerome Kagen, a Harvard psychologist, said of the phenomenon in a recent New York Times report. “!t's moved to a point where the anxiety and the concern is unrealistic, and its approaching a phobia on the part of the students. It has the characteristic of 4 small neurosis.”
if students are afflicted with a grade neurosis, the disease is rooted within the academic grading system, some observers believe
“Students have been taught since grade school that good grades are — it's at,” says one professor at University 0 Wisconsin-Madison. “How can they be expected to dismiss this idea when they reach college?” '
The Preface, student newspaper ° indiana University at South Bend, offered this analysis: “Professorstel! students at the beginning of the class that “— iS more important than grades students are not influenced Dy
argument. They have already - convinced that grades are important, often more important than learning
Back in the 60's, however, anti-grade fever hit academia, resulting 'n what 7 believed to be the second major poo inflated grades: non-punitive grading procedures.
Many professors gave high grades OS

SSue No offense intended to our noble otball team, but strongly object to paying $15 extra to help our beloved football boys see better, or have better TV. films made so they'll look better on TV. so they can get into the ACC, by having improved lighting on the field. One thing the ECU campus does not need right now S better lighting of an already lighted football field. With our present energy situation, why not play the games in the afternoon, aS do most big name, big time teams, like our ACC buddies Carolina and State Not only would it save energy, but the team could get to their parties earlier. if ECU is dying to light something and use lots of money and energy, why not ight the long forgotten tennis courts at Minges? With the present trend in tennis, and ECU's tennis courses overflowing with more and more eager players, it seems that more students are playing tennis than play football in Ficklen Stadium. Not only 20u'G a lot more students use the extra jnted courts more than a better lighted football field, but they could use them jer and more often since tennis can be played almost everynight from March November here in the Southeast,

'0 help students avoid the draft. Dissatis- ‘action with traditional marking spread, paSs-fail options came into vogue and some schools completely eliminated failing grades

Explained Pittsburgh University Dean Robert Marshall: “We've gotten away ‘OM the old concept that people should be ‘equired to jump through hoops.”
But the gradual extinction of failing ya0es Nas been termed “ludicrous” by at ast one professor. “There is this idea . ria, around that any grade other than an ‘ "aS to be explained by the professor,” CA Mplained Stanford history professor Vavicd Kennedy,
't'S gone too far,” said Kennedy. “The whole purpose of grades is being destroyed '

‘
while the football field is used only eight nights a year
The necessity for more lighted courts is acutely apparent to any tennis player who has had to wait four hours for a court, or until 2:00 a.m. to play, or gone scurrying all over Greenville to use the few public or club courts, only to get run off for trespassing. For aschool the size of ECU, it's really a disgrace to have fewer lighted courts than many smaller universities and even some high schools. I'm sure there have been plans to light the Minges courts for many years now, but somehow they've been shoved back under the stack of priorities that swamp the football! program with funds and leaves the rest of the sports programs scrounging to survive.
lf must pay $15 extra to light something, I'd rather my money go for something more students could get more personal use Out of. I'm well aware of the fact that being a tennis player myself, my view iS Somewhat prejudiced, and that not everyone plays tennis, however, not everyone goes to football games either and fewer play football in Fickien Stadium Besides, maybe more people would play tennis if they could ever get a court at night, since that's the only time they have to play, because classes and the tennis team have the courts all day. Looking at the situation in general, with all sports favoritism aside, it just seems somewhat ridiculous to light something that is already lighted instead of something that isn't.

‘Referendum on lights
Arbitrarily against any fee increase, am not. Against athletics, am certainly not. Expert on lighting systems by all means am not.
However, am unequivocally for fair and responsible treatment to all students. in addition, strongly feel that when students think they have not received anywhere near fair treatment, it is their right to let their thoughts be heard. It is in this spirit pass judgements on the recent controversy concerning the acquisition of lights for Ficklen Stadium.
As previously stated, am not an expert on lighting systems, therefore, will not argue the point that improvement is needed or desired for our current lighting system. However, strongly question the need of lights which will make “Ficklen Stadium’s lighting greater than that of Carter Stadium.” Perhaps should hestitate no longer for those of you who are not aware, the students of ECU will pay the entire $475,000 price tag for the lights. Keep in mind that the students had to pay for only their side of the stadium, however, now they must pay for the entire lighting system. “ ©
The problem is clear, simple and tragic. The students as a whole had no input into this decision which arbitrarily requires them to pay additional monies to the University. can assure you that if $6.00 was taken from all staff and faculty salaries, to pay for lights, they would have a tendency to get upset. am not ruling out the possibility that students should not pay a fair share for lights, but if so, they should be the ones to decide and not a handful of benevolent administrators.
There are several other points which feel should be pondered by ail concerned. As you may have noticed in the last issue of Fountainhead, the Assistant Business Manager urged students to conserve energy in the dorms. In fact he warned that “without this effort on the students part an increase in room rent is at least a possibility.” In conclusion he states, “Everyone on campus could help us save a little.” Evidently his statement was aimed only at energy wasteful students. The Administration help nas been to purchase a tremendous lighting system and change all football games to night. personally enjoy night games tremendously, but submit, is it fair treatment to threaten students with rent increases because of a rise in energy costs and simultaneously make absolutely no effort to curb other University energy costs?
What will the students be asked, or should say told to pay for next. The students are currently paying $12.00 for the new student union, $4.00 for the old student union, $7.00 for Minges and now the lights. Anyone with even minimum intelligence should realize that the future lighting system is for a larger stadium and not for the current size of Fickien Stadium. When the enlargement of the stadium is discussed, student fees as a means of support should not be assumed until the students themselves decide the
uestion. . Finally through frustration, offer the final point. The Administration requires students to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for construction of Minges, the oid and new student union, lights and others. The sum total of these student monies is tremendous. However, the student can hardly find a place to shoot basketball or to lift




Las she O'sappointed ;
weights or other similar activities. In addition money to fund guards so that all women may have self limiting hours is no where to be found. Think about it!
Perhaps it is too late to change the course of action the Administration has taken in relation to the lights, however, feel we should still let our feelings be known to those who occupy leadership positions. Therefore, the Student Government Association will hold a student referendum next week, in order that each student may cast 4 ballot, yea or

nay, on the issue of purchasing lights. strongly encourage you to participate. l. Sincerely, Bob Lucas SGA President

Fee increase
To Fountainhead :
We would like to express our support for the SGA and their resolution asking the ECU administration to reconsider the proposed student fee increase to pay for new lights at Ficklen Stadium. We're not fully informed about the matter but it seems that the “old” lights are sufficient. If lights are really needed then the Athletic Dept. should absorb the cost. And this cost should NOT be taken from our already oppressed ‘minor sports”.
Perhaps the football players could eat with the rest of the students, (unless they are dangerous to the general public) instead of dining in their private Pirates Room, gorging themselves with steak and
other delights. Making the students pay for this added luxury that they can’t benefit from, except for some drunken entertainment on Saturday's during the fall and a little prestige, is outrageous! We would like to hear of more student support on this matter.
The SGA showed appreciative intelligence by not appropriating $2,386 so a few girls can have a good time at our cost.
We would like the SGA to push for a reduction if not the elimination of the foreign language requirements for granting degrees here at ECU. Forcing the students
to slave for 20 q. hours of an unwanted .
subject that has no direct correlation to their intended major is ridiculous!

Students becoming parttime to receive tuition refunds
By HELENA WOODARD Staff Writer
Students who drop enough hours to become parttime students during any quarter are eligible for tuition refunds if they follow certain procedures, said Julian R. Vainwright, Assistant Business Manager
A student who drops down to eight credit hours or less is considered parttime,” said Vainwright
In order to receive a refund, the student must fill out the necessary forms at the Registrars Office, turn in the Student activity card, and have dropped the courses before the seventh week in any Quarter.”
Dormitory students who become pantime students are not eligible for refunds if they continue living in a dorm
“We are not trying to hide anything from students,” said Vainwright
“If the student does not come to tur in his student activity card, we assume he has opted to remain on a full time basis,” Vainwright added
Mrs. Jenny B. Tripp, head cashier in the Business Administration Office, said,
If students go through the right they will have no. tre duble refunds.”
Process 'ECBIVing
Both Vainwright and Tripp believe that not enough students understand the complications involved in the ref undin, process because they “don't take the rt or don't get back the amount! of
they thought they would.’
‘Students will be charged up the day they drop their courses.” said Mrs. Trine They are charged 35 cents per hour oe Gay if they are in-state students and $2. per hour per day if they are out-of. State Students. It takes about two weeks after registration for refunds to be computed
According to the catalog, students who withdraw from school because of illness selective service or a family death can receive tuition and room rent refunds if the drop occurs before the seventh week
Vainwright said, “We make refunds if students have overpaid without their having to request it.”
Ms. Tripp added, “We cannot afford to be unfair. Auditors check our records

Kerr added that this was conjecture on his part, because each @»unty has its own system.

“More students are receiving food stamps this year than in previous years,” said Mrs. Rouse, “but not a large number in the whole program.”
The number of students on Food Stamps in North Carolina or in Pitt County is not available because student cases are not filed separately, she said.

ECU legislators make plans for state convention
By ROBIN JACKSON Staff Writer
The ECU delegation to the North Carolina Student Legisiature is making preparations for the upcoming state-wide convention to be heid March 19-23 at the downtown Holiday Inn in Raleigh
Deborah Dixon, chairperson of the ECU delegation, said, “The ECU team is working on two bills and two resolutions to be introduced One deals with the legalization of victimiess crimes, such as prostitution sale and possession of marijuana, public drunkenness and gambling. Another is about a Senior Citizens Act.”
Valerie Szabo, sponsor of the Senior Citizens Act, said, “This bill deals with the establishment of the Senior Citizens Department under North Carolina Social Services Council.
‘The Senior Citizens Department would be authorized to establish community and re-socialization centers for senior citizens,” she said. “Also the department would place technical restrictions on boarding and rest homes.”
We have not yet formulated any concrete resolutions, but several ideas have been tossed around, including the removal of irrelevant information,” Ms. Dixon said.
Factors such as marital status -
employment applications would be removed, standards for institutions for the ohysically and mentally handicapped would be created, as would a new system of selection of the Board of Governors of the Consolidated University of North Carolina and ideas for an infancy retardation treatment resolution.”
The ECU delegation intends to draw up the two resolutions sometime in March.
Ms. Dixon, a veteran delegate, characterized the week of the state-wide convention as one of “long hours and hard work”
Past ECU delegations have performed well, winning six ‘best resolutions awards”. Last year they were honored for presenting the best bill and best delegation. The winning bill concerned a revamping of the juvenile justice system in North Carolina.

sounding board for the political opinions of college students.
NCSL has three elected offices: Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State. The office of Treasurer iS an appointed post.
Sally Freeman, Secretary of State, said conceming the officers’ functions, “The Governor is the administrator-coordinator of NCSL activities. The Lieutenant Governor is coordinator of the NCSL summer workshop, in addition to her duties assisting the Governor. The Secretary of State publishes a quarterly report and coordinates the activities of the schoo! delegations. She also sets up the agenda at the state-wide Convention.

Folsom resigns transportation post
By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer
Richard Folsom, Director of Student Transportation, has resigned his position, and SGA president Bob Lucas has appointed Greg Davis to fill the vacant post.
Folsom, who has been director since September, explained in announcing his resignation that time, money and “too much grief” were involved in his decision to step down
‘ was spending too much time with the transportation system and not enough on my studies,” Folsom explained.
Folsom, who received his M.A. this past Fall, is working On a supervisory certificate in Education
My grades slipped Fall quarter and have gone down even farther this Quarter,”
Folsom said, though he admitted there was more to the resignation than just the time element.
“The transportation director receives only $110 a month for running the entire system,” he said. “Ail the time involved is just not worth it. At this pay scale the drivers make more than the director,” he said
Folsom also said that rising criticism of the transportation system had added to his decision to resign.
Lucas said he accepted the resignation with regret
“I think Richard did a good job while he was director,”’ Lucas said.
The SGA president admitted that the JOD requires a lot of time and that it is probably too much for just one student to handle
“It is a very tough, thankless job, but
Richard did a good job,” Lucas said.
Davis, a junior, was next in seniority with the transportation system, according to Lucas.
The SGA is presently Studying the problems of the transportation system and some action on the matter is expected before the end of the school year.
Folsom, in his last appearance before the SGA as director, warned the legislators that the transportation system would die
by the end of the spring quarter if some action were not taken.

right to have abortion
CPSLNS)The State Supreme Court of Washington has ruled that a woman under 'S years of age should not be subjected to an ‘absolute and potentially arbitrary parental veto” if she wants to have an abortion
i iN a five to four decision earlier this month the court ruled that the requirement Or parental consent in Washington's abortion law was unconstitutional.
As a result of this decision, the court overturned the conviction of Dr. A.F. Koome a physician who performed an abortion for a 16-year-old woman without ner parents’ permission.
The woman's father had refused “onsent after deciding that he could put an

end to his daughter's sexual relations if she were forced to go through with the pregnancy . ae The court, in affirming women’s rights to abortion “without undue state infringement,” concluded that minors have constitutional rights of privacy and personal liberty equal to those over 18. Only six states in the entire U.S. have no minimum age limits for all medical services relating to sex, including abortion, contraception and prenatal care.
Nursing program hopes to trim infant mortality rate
Reduction of eastern North Carolina's extremely high infant mortality rate is the goal of a new program at the ECU School of Nursing.
ECU's Perinatal Nurse Specialist Project, supported by a grant from the N.C. Regional Medical Program, is involving nurses from eight health department districts which are within commuting distance of Greenville and which have approximately 1,000 or more births each year.
Participants include nurses from the Pasquotank-Perquimans-Camden-Chowan District Health Department and from Craven, Edgecombe, Halifax, Lenoir, Nash, Pitt and Wilson Counties.
According to Project Director Therese Lawler of the ECU nursing faculty, the purpose of ECU’s program is to train nurses to be clinical specialists in perinatoiogy so they will be equipped to function in their respective districts as coordinators of teams for the care and treatment of high risk mothers and infants.
As a nation, the U.S. ranks “rather poorly” in its infant mortality, said Mrs. Lawler, behind 14 other industrialized countries.
“The state of North Carolina, furthermore, compares quite . avorably to the national averages, since is rated 44th of the 50 states in infant mortality.
“And the eastern part of the state has constantly contributed the highest figures to complete this bleak picture.”
She said that while a trend of stabilization in infant deaths has occurred elsewhere in North Carolina, eastern North Carolina's infant deaths have been rising.
Statistics of infant mortality include fetal mortality (stillborn), neonatal mortality (first 28 days), postneonatal mortality (28 days to 12 months) and premature births in which the fetus weighs less than 2,500 grams.
“The concepts our program is designe. to put into practice here in eastern North Carolina are already at work and are proving most effective in many medical centers,” Mrs. Lawler said.
“However, the most serious and frequent maternal and child health problems arise not in relatively affluent metropolitan areas but rather in the rurually isolated geographic pockets, such as our region.
“A comprehensive program dealing with the mother and infant at risk must be structured in eastern North Carolina to combat this blight in the health care system,” she said.
Mrs. Lawler said the full implement-

ation of an effective perinatal program would involve the purchase and use of more sophisticated equipment, improved methods of educating the public about perinatal problems and the establishment of home support teams for high-risk mothers and infants.
The training of nurse clinicians is the basic need of an improved maternal and child health system, she noted.
The nurse participants in the ECU program wili be involved in a series of lectures and demonstrations at the ECU nursing school and at intensive care nurseries, hospitals and health depart- ments in Greenville, Kinston, Durham and Wake County.
Instructional staff includes members of the ECU nursing and allied health faculties and several physicians.
At the end of the program’s clinical and lecture sessions, each nurse should be able to identify high risk pregnancies; to work with other health professionals on appropriate prenatal treatment; to instruct delivery room staff to increase their awareness of new techniques and equipment; to work with nursery staff in improved identification and care of high risk newborn infants; and to heip with follow-up programs involving special clinics, home visiting and family planning services.
Among the factors which might indicate a figh risk pregnancy are a potential mot xer's diabetes, hypertension, toxemia, rerail disease, heart disease, thyroid di.ease, anemia, multiple pregnancy, adolescence, advanced age, emotional problems or bad outcome of a previous pregnancy.

it's hard for any player from the Southern Conference to make national recognition in a major sport, but if there is a class player in the conference this year, t would have to be Mayes Much like the Pirates, the Paladins four losses have been to well-known and nationally prominent teams. The Paladins road contests to Clemson, Oklahoma, LaSalle and Southern Califomia and have beaten such name schools as Minnesota and Houston.

His season averages so far nclude a 16 point per game scoring average and an 11 rebounds a game average. Combined, the two ser ors give the Paladins the most imposing 1-2 line in the conference The remaining three members of the Pa adi ns starting five are 6-6 forward Craig Lync 6-4 forward Michael Hall and freshmen guard Ronnie Smith. The three, combined, have an average of 34 points a game for the Paladins Other than the starting five, though, the Paladins are weak. Only one player, guard Steve Green, has started this year, and the highest scoring average for a reserve is Green's 2.4 average This lack of playing time for the Furman reserves could become a major factor in the game if the East Carolina team is allowed to run-and-shoot the way they have been doing most of the season. Earlier in the season, ECU coach Patton said the Paladins had better be ready to do just that—run and shoot Tl tell you something. Those big mothers had better be ready to run 94 feet with us if they want to win,” said Patton. Patton added, “It will take a super performance to beat Furman though.” For the Pirates, the brunt of Saturday's work will probably fall on Bob Geter and Larry Hunt. Geter and Hunt have been

super all year, but except for Richmond's offensive oriented Bob McCurdy, the Pirates have not yet faced the likes of Mayes or Leonard, except against N.C. State, when the Pirates lost 96-81.
Geter and Hunt hold down the principal board strength for ECU, with Hunt averaging almost 11 rebounds a game through Tuesday, and Geter is averaging eight caroms a game through the team’s first 16 games
in addition, Hunt double-figure scorers, Geter with 12 a game and Hunt 11.5
The Pirates play a lot of people, though. Through last weekend eight layers have led the team in scoring in at east one game this season and only one player, Henry Lewis, is averaging under ten minutes a game playing time
The Pirates actually play three guards, even though 6-3 Gregg Ashorn is listed as a forward. The senior Ashorn is the team’s leading scorer with a 13.4 average, but his leaping ability enables him to stay with the bigger men.in addition, Ashorn has been hot of late, scoring 75 points in the last

East Carolina’s varsity women’s basketball team preceded the men’s team Tuesday night with an 83-70 win over the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs at the Norfolk Scope.

The Bucettes swept to a 44-33 halftime lead behind the scoring of Sheilah Cotton and Lu Ann Swaim. in the opening half, Cotton scored 15 points and Swaim added 12, thus providing the team with most of the scoring in the haif.
The ladies handled their first taste of the “big time” well, taking an early lead and holding it the entire game for the final 83-70 margin of victory.
In the second stanza ODU rallied to within one, but could never break even as

the women pulled away to the final 13-point victory margin.
Coach Catherine Bolton was pleased with her team’s play in the giant Scope
“We were hoping to try our offense out against a running team,” said Bolton. “We got the chance tonight and the girls did well.”
Bolton was abie to play all her women, taking a page from out of Dave Patton’s book. Nine girls scored for the Bucettes.
Cotton again led the women scorers, hitting on ten field goals and nine free throws for 29 points. Susan Manning, with 12, and Swaim, with 10, helped to give the women a 44-39 rebound advantage.
