Used book prices
expected to decrease
“We shelve books almost as Soon af
we buy them back from stuvents,”
Edwards said.
The Book Exchange handies fewer
books than the campus bookstore, he
added.
Clark also said books have to be priced
and checked before they can be put back
on the sheif.
Clark said overstocked books are a loss
to the Student Supply Store.
“We cannot lose thousands of dollars
in dead stock. It takes away from
scholarship money.”
Proceeds from the Student Supply
Store is allocated for scholarships.
Edwards said the Book Exchange selis
overstocked books to students at a
discount. He added students shouid stop
as early in the quarter as possible.
“Used books tend to run out early in the
Quarter.”
He also advised students not to sell
books in the middie of a quarter.
“We won't know if a book will be used
again at that time,” he added.
Books which are changed more often °
by departments tend to be higher in cost
for students, Edwards said. These books
are harder to sell back.
Both bookstores will pay a student 50
percent of the retail price for a new
hard-back. The book is then sold by the

Students should be able to get used
books for lower prices Spring Quarter,
according to Don Edwards, manager of the
University Book Exchange in Greenville.
Edwards said there is a greater
availability of used books for next quarter,
probably because many ECU professors
are using the sarne books from previous
quarters.
The prices for new books, however, will!
be about the same as they were during
Winter Quarter, Edwards added.
“Publishers have stabilized prices
now,” he said.
A large increase in the cost of books
and other paper items occurred during Fall
Quarter, 1974.
“A book which cost $8.95 last Spring
Quarter was $11.95 in the Fall,” Edwards
continued.
Joseph O. Clark, manager of the
Student Supply Store at ECU, said book
prices had not increased more
significantly than any other prices.
“The publishers set the retail price,”
Clark said. “I don’t know at this time if
books will be any higher in the Spring.”
When asked if all used books bought
by the Student Supply Store were shelved
at the beginning of each quarter, Clark said
students who sold books to the store late

Reade overpass project stalled
By MIKE TAYLOR
Assistant News Editor
The Greenville Redevelopment Com-
mission has suggested for some time the
nstruction of a walkway across Reade
connecting the women's highrise
jorms with the business district.
S$ far these efforts of the
Redevelopment Commission have not met
with support from ECU administrators,
wno cite a lack of funds and legal
juestions for their delay.
The Redevelopment Commission had
been planning to construct a walkway
onnecting the campus with the area
around the Georgetown Shoppes,
according to Commission Director Joe
Laney
The walkway which Laney says is
needed for safety in this area, would start
on university property around the end of an
Old sidewalk near the ampitheatre.
“There is a lot of student traffic in the
middie of Reade Street most of the day.
with the sweeping curve in the street, it is
really very dangerous for pedestrians,”
Laney explained.
The Redevelopment aroup had plans
crawn up for a walkway over the street
which they presented to ECU officials,
Laney said.
“Since one end of the waikway would
be located on university property, and
since it would benefit students, we felt
‘at the university should pay half the
cost,” Laney said.
Half of the project as originally
proposed would have totaled about $15
'Nousand, according to Laney. Now, the
Redevelopment Director contends, the
Cost for the project has doubled, meaning
‘Ne total project would cost the city and
UNIVEersity about $30,000 each.
“We presented the case to the
university again about six months

nights -weekends
ago. They said they would get back to us,
but so far we have not heard a thing,”
Laney said
Cliff Moore, ECU Vice-Chancellor for
Business Affairs, admitted that the
university had had the Redevelopment
Commission's plans for some time.
“At that time we did not have the funds
available to pay for half the project,”
Moore said.
Even if the funds had been available,
Moore said, there were legal and location
questions to be solved before the
university Could act.
“ have checked with the legal office
and they have raised serious questions
about whether or not we can use state
funds to channel business into a shopping
area,” Moore explained.
Moore noted that the present plans call
for a walkway to be aimed right at
Georgetown.
“ really doubt if it would be appropriate
to use state funds to channel business in
this way,” Moore said.
He also doubted, whether a walkway in
the proposed location would be readily
The 86,000 square foot building was
designed by architect Carter Williams of
Raleigh and was constructed and
furnished at a cost of about $3 million.
The center's facilities include a film
and lecture theatre, an eight-lane bowling
alley, table games facilities including 12
billiards tables and six tabie-tennis tables,
a crafts center, a coffee house, a television
lounge, ten conference rooms, a snack
bar, a student bank and four music
listening rooms.
Dedication ceremonies will be heid in
the theatre, followed by a reception in the
multi-purpose room. After the dedication,
visitors will be conducted on a tour of the
building.
Cynthia Mendenhall was born in Fort
Knox, Kentucky, to James Edward and
Cora Redding Mendenhali of Randolph
County, N.C. She was the niece of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Redding of Elizabeth
City.
She heid degrees from UNC-Greens-
boro and UNC-Chapel Hill and did
additional study at the University of
Colorado and the University of Wisconsin.
Before joining the ECU staff, she
taught business education at Fayetteville
High School.
During her years as college union
director at ECU, she was active in such
professional organizations as the N.C.
Recreation Society, the Association of
College Unions-international, and the
National Recreation and Park Association.

Water B. Jones Clinic
Alcoholics prepare to re-enter society
By GAYLE McCRACKEN
Staff Writer
The Walter B. Jones Alcoholic
Rehabilitation Center, on Falkland
Highway in Greenville, operates a five and
one-half week program to rehabilitate and
prepare alcoholics to re-enter society.
‘The state is divided into four mental
health regions,” said Ken Walker, Director
f Rehabilitative Serivces at the Walter B
Jones center. “Three of the regions have
alcoholic rehabilitation centers.
This center deais with cases from the
32 eastern counties and six counties from
the South Central region
The center is a state supported
n-patient clinic. We have a 76 bed
capacity which is usually full. There is a
ittle drop at Christmas.
The center receives referrais from
various sources. Sometimes the alcoho-
s ‘refer themseives.
Our referrals are received from mental
health centers, private health centers,
frends and some ‘walk-in’ patients,” said
Walker

Local merchants institute polygraph tests
By SAM NEWELL
Staff Writer
The increased crime rate in Greenville,
especially in shoplifting, has led to the
implementation of polygraph screening for
prospective employees in many business-
es
“Polygraphs, or lie detectors, are
sometimes used to weed out the bad
apples when we review employee
applications,” said Tom Kadeg, office
manager for Stop-and-Go, iInc food
stores.
EMPLOYEE THEFT
“Fifty percent of our loss is due to
employee theft including cash as weil as
merchandise,” said Kadeg.
The polygraph tests are administered
by Mike Radford, owner of North Carolina
Polygraph Services, Inc.
“Our business in Raleigh delivers tests
to many of the convenience stores and
Police Departments in eastern North
Carolina,” Radford said.
“We ask specific standardized
questions to provide a relatively total
picture of the individual. My firm keeps
one copy of the records and the hiring firm
Keeps a COpy.
AGREEMENT
“The files are under lock and key and
Must be kept for seven years, according to
N.C. Statute of Limitations. No other
firms have access to the records.
“An agreement is signed by the
employee binding our firm to confident!
ality,” said Radford.
A number of stores in the Greenvilie
area use the polygraph tests in hiring.
according to Cox.
Walker offered several possible
explanations for alcoholism and some of
the patients seen at the center
‘It's really hard to pin down the causes
of alcoholism,” said Walker. “Financial
problems, marital problems, they can all
contribute
“If a family is involved, it is usually the
overall family situation. In other cases,
there are alcoholics with no families.
‘There are as many different causes as
there are alcoholics
“An aicoholic’s problems may not be
so different from anyone else's. But, the
average person does not cope exclusively
with alcohol
“Most cases are promoted by normal
life stresses and people do drink because
of stress. It's a fairly common, but not a
very healthy way of coping.
‘On the average, we treat people of
middie socio-economic status. But, we
also Nave patients who are totally indigent
and those who are wealthy with
considerable community status.
‘At one time the national age average
was 42 years. 'm not sure how much it
has varied
‘In the past five years we have seen
more young alcoholics. There are also
more men than women.”

“We cannot force anyone to take the
polygraph tests.” said Tommy Cox,
district manager for Kwik Pik food stores.
“The polygraph tests are only part of
the basis of hiring an employee. if
someone refuses to take the tests, he or
she may still be hired although the refusal

“During the first week the patient
receives a physical examination by a staff
physician,” said Walker. “He is given
psychological tests and we review his
social history.
“Because most of the patients have
been drinking when they arrive, we aiso
use this time for detoxification, or ‘dying
out’.
“We have an orientation where the
patients are introduced to the various
services. They are given information about
alcoholism, what it does and how they can
stop drinking
“We try to answer as many questions
as possible in the first week so that the
patients are ready to get down to the
business at hand in the remaining time.
“The four and one-half weeks of actual
therapy involve group or individual
psychotherapy, recreational and occupa
tional therapy, vocational rehabilitation
and social work counseling.
“Antabuse therapy is used on a
volunteer basis. The drinker takes a pill
that makes him extremely ill if he drinks
afterwards. The effect lasts up to 14
days.”

“Questions asked of the employee
usually relate to previous thefts, liquor
violations, and drug use or purchase on
the premises of an employer,” said Cox.
“Addiction or the present selling of drugs
would strongly affect the possibility of
employment.”

“In a surprisingly large number of
cases, the employers of patients are
cooperative,” said Walker. “Some in-
dustries have their own alcoholic programs
and some referrals are made through
these.
“Some patients who enter with jobs are
given paid time off.
“For other alcoholics, their motivation
is the fact that they have lost their jobs and
families.
“Most aicoholics who come to the
center have admitted that they are
alcoholics. Some are pushed by family
and friends.
“Sometimes we can point out the
aicoholic’s behavior and what alcohol has
done, and the person will be able to see it.
“In almost every case, someone has
told the person that he is an aicoholic
before he realizes it.
“You can’t do a bit of good until they
recognize it themselves. Community
members have few chances until the
drinker sees drinking as a problem to
himself.
“Alcholics Anonymous (AA) is not
affiliated with any organization in a true
sense. However, a member of our staff is
a member of AA and we have an AA
meeting at the center each week.
“Patients are encouraged to follow up
with AA because it is one of the best
rehabilitative programs around.”
Legal confessions of theft can be used
to prosecute employees, but these
confessions must be written, said
Radford. “There is no prosecution in

Tar River Poets: slowly dissected
TAR RIVER POETS
By ROBERT MORNINGSTAR
Staff Writer
nust oreface this review with the
tatement that all reviewing S
subjective. This is more true with the
review of poetry thar f any other form of
terature. With novels, there must be forn
ind texture, with short stones there must
he npact and a driving ulmination
ose forms can be judged on their
adherence to those generally accepted
notions of how tales are told
Poetry cannot. It must be dealt with
from all the senses, and finally measured
by taste. This is to say that my perception
and yours may not be the same. You do
the poetry, and this review, an injustice if
yOu do not read the verse
The judgement of poetry is like the
judgement of moonlight; it is beautiful to
some, it drives others made
Tar River Poets wil! never be judged as
a major collection of poetry compiled by
the best of today’s writers. It is far from
that. It is a work garnered by some people
who are in love with language and the
beauty of sensual expression. Not all of
the authors are good. Most of them are
not. There are some exceptions in this
the 15th edition of Tar River Poets, and
they should be praised
Dougias McReynolds, for whom this
issue was named, is a fine young poet
There are lines of his work that are
achingly gorgeous. He is, at certain
points n his work, so fragile, so delicate
as to paint the most beautiful of
pictures. And then, there are times when
he writes merely to fill the lines. These
points are only made more obvious by the
fact that he does have some very good
lines in these works of his. From the work
V, ut, draw this stanza
“Just beyond Denver is Boulder:
beyond Boulder is only the snow
Snow is for sinking oneself in,
Boulder, for sinking in snow
There are woods in the snow beyond
Boulder
the mirkwoods are aspen and birch
Enchanted these woods are, and elvin
There is snow on the face of the birth”
And from these soft pulpy illusions of
an aimost white life, he can turn us to the
hardest of pictures, the darkest of rhymes
‘In dead dreams a spectre looms
Still does that vision cause
dried shoulders to shudder,
dried fists to clench,
empty sockets of dried eyes to burn blind
The spectre goes
white bones lie quiet.”
These are not the best lines of the
man. There are others as good, as callous.
as soft. These are merely the strongest on
each end of his spectrum. There are some
weaknesses, however. There are points of
this work, (which may be viewed as one
long work or several short poems) where
he feels he must lapse into soliliques of
both Spanish and Latin They do nothing
for the poem but force one to race to his
pamMahrANg!o dictionary, (presuming he
is fortunate enough to have one) to
discover if there are any great lines of
beauty or realization tucked into those
alien words. There are not. If they were
fone for show then it is a whorelike trick,
that he is better than, and if it is not a trick
then he is not yet the writer that can see
the real flaws in his work
There are other moments where he
apses into crap like
raucous dressed in glare-green plastic,
tawdry artificial flowers,
a laquer headed waitress”
Ce,
expect better from someone of his
intelligence and talent. The poet that can
write
The ghost of a girl with the wind in her
hair,
the arms of the elms, just bare
grotesques scratching like skeletons the
dark
The ghost of a girl with the moon in her
hair,
her fluid face etched
stretched
pale across the sky.”
can avoid words like tawdry and glare
green. They are cheap and meaningless.
They are McKuen.
McReynolds is not yet a great poet.
He may never be, due to talent, due to
changing tastes, due to exposure, due to
luck. What he is, is possibly the finest
poet to come out of the Carolina's in recent
years, and by far the best to have come
from East Carolina University.
There was a point in the reading of the
book that thought perhaps the reason
McReynolds looked good was because he
was Surrounded by such crap. There are
people printed in this book for reasons
other than talent. Dedication to the ideal
of poetic verbosity is not enough reason
for publication. Yet, they are here, and
must review them
Bruce Autry entered only one work and
though it wasn't bad it was something
every freshman who has ever been lonely
could have written. It is not unique by
what is said, but is better than what is to
follow
He is short and says what he wishes by
simply phrases. He ends poorly, but not
horribly
Anita Brehm is neither lucky enough
nor merciful enough to have been short
with her first poem. it is weak from start to
finish and reads like a child's rhyme
The airplane should fly,
Not sit on the ground
Surrounded by
Empty luggage carts”
iS the beginning of her poem, “La Guardia
ins the Rain”. It is about her having
missed dinner because her plane is late
getting off the ground. She is the victim of
feeble metaphors. They do not move
us. They lie prostrate like her plane, like
her poem. This work sits like an egg on a
wall
Her next work, “Night Rides” is a bit
better. She makes little attempt at
metaphor here and this work is closer to
being prose as opposed to poetry. She
speaks of the bums on the bowery and the
whores that surround them: there is
nothing new, nor litanous about this work.
It is merely fair. The best is in the last
verse and the work, if shorter, would be
better. There is alineé about “Painted
ladies” that is a thousand years old.
Lyn Colcord seems to rely on the
placement of her words as the strength of
her first poem. As this reviewer feels that
iS a Cheap trick, must admit to a certain
prejudice against this verse. found the
work hard to read, and hard to piece
together. That, regardiess of form, or
shape, a poem should never be. The
analyogy of an eye to a gun, to a
telescope, is weak at best, and it would
take an exceptional talent to make it
work. A talent, I'm afraid she does not
have. “The Eye” as the poem is called, is
both the shell and the lens, (to put it
briefly) and in the end:
“The eye & shell are one that strike
the optic nerve of Saturn.”
They may have struck Saturn, but 1'll
wager that’s all
Three out of her next four works are
flacid and wane. One, believe about,
well, this reviewer confesses to not totally
understanding it, has a wall-paper rabbit
shitting on her arm, “like a yellow grape
rolling from the rabbits haunch”. The
poem is ugly and short and is far roo
Opaque
Her next work is by far her best “Lady
in the Wide-Brimmed Hat”. The title is
horrible, but the poem is not. About an
older wornan and the walking of life, she
deals at once with a fine metaphor
“when the crows first walked acr:
face”
ISS Ner
and manages to carry it through to the man
who after sex
“nis legs were sticks for who ping
cranes
The work sends in the same genre of
the walking crow, btu is not a bad
offering. It is far and away her best in this
volume
Her next work is about a maid who
watches T.V. while she works and sees
that her hsuabdn gets trapped in the
snow. Her name is Hattie She's from
Lithuania
She should have stayed there
Her last work is “The Tabled Tailer’
He is not happy with tailoring as an
art. He goes to the Guggenheim to feast
“The tabled tailor bites a cauliflower rose
he beiches with a start
pictures in his head escape
and Guggenheim the room.”
Say, has anybody seen my Cauliflower
Rose? The idea is not bad, an artist
without an art, but it needs a better
setting
Joseph Daugman is another type of
poet entirely. Mr. Daugman is an
extremely intelligent man. Too intelligent
perhaps to write moving poetry. An older
man, he is much caught up with meaning
and pont, rather than the true beauty of
language
His first work is a transiation of
Puskhins’ ‘Rebirth’. couldn't find
another transiation of that work or even 4
copy of it in the time allotted for this
review so cannot comment on it at all
His second piece is the example of an
intelligent man trying to get across simple
thoughts, to a simple people. It is such an
obvious condescension as to be aimost
painful, but not intentional. It is weak
however and lacks any force or quality. t
is entitled “The Encounter” and is far too
simple to be good. It is merely prose that
is short phrased. It is not poetry.
His next two works are again mental
meanderings but have the quality ©

There is trouble in the tying together of his
work “Ballad of the North Sea” but it 'S
more nearly poetry than the others. Not
good, just poetry. He would be far better
at prose.
Joseph Dudasik is the closest of al! to
knowing what it is he wants as an author
He is obscure and yet there is a method to
his darkness. He is far too wordy and
there is an almost abvious attempt to

lines.

stand out and almost caress the reader. At
this point she has set the scene well. She
regresses later with her lying under a tree

points in her work when she draws you
into the poem. It's a shame that, as of yet,
she can't hold you.
Ron Franklin presented only one work
to this volume. “Centennial Park” is a
pretty place with lots of nice people and
dogs and frisbees. just said what he said
and neither of us deserve publication in a
poetry anthology.
Hal Hinton writes poetry as an
effusion. By this mean that he writes to
rid himself of feelings. At one time that
was the only “pure” way to write poetry.
That might be true but it is far from the
best way to write poetry. His first
offerings are titled “Winter poems”. While
one has nothing to do with winter, (but
rather the rising of the sun) the other is not
SO much winter as the wish to see an
unrequited love frozen to death. It ends
with her begging him to save her but his
legs are frozen stiff. His metaphors are
tired and have been said many times
before. His works are stilted and
hard. There is very little in any of them
that moves one. The notes on him in the
back of the book say he is an ECU graduate
and should be a teacher by now. hope
Se mmnamanainal
sandy Miller seems to feel things
deeply. She has the concept of effective
poetry, but not the talent for correlation
between thought and word. She uses the
puny metaphors of “blue white skin” and
“Skinless fingers” and leaves us with a “So
What?" feeling. She does not tie her
poems up. Her second work, (untitled) is a
mass of contradictions and must have
been written in a fury. It too, contains the
horror of parenthesis and none of the flow
or lucidity poetry should have. Her three
small poems are absurd. The last one
being,
“Funny, but what once was
Often isn't
And we are blinded by the loss”
“Blinded by the loss” is not a bad line,
but the preceeding is silly and filler.
Mark Sheidon is by far the best of all
except McReynolds, in this volume. He,
of all the others, seems to show the most
talent. There are no blinding metaphors in
his work. His ideas do not call for
them. One has the feeling while reading
his work that if he ever got a truly novel
idea he could build a beautiful poem. For
this edition his best effort was a work
called “The 1973rd Annual Striptease”. It
is about Easter and Christ and is so simple
as to be almost too quick, yet, is very good
at its length. It is very tight and well
thought out. It is very close to being
prose, through surely isn’t. The next work.
“The Tigers” is fine in that he brings you
very close, very softiy. There is nothing
harsh in this poem, either by intent or
accident, and makes for a very smooth
piece
“Walk easy into the tigers
and watch their eyes
and shoulder muscles
They have torn your brothers
they are watching you”
One finds that the more he reads of
Sheldon the more he likes. He is the most
talented of the subnumeraries and this
reviewer feels he has the potential to be a
fine poet
Teresa Speight writes a good
newspaper article. That is how she writer
her poetry. Her words are slick and hard
and though she writes words like
“childhood” and “butterfly” she mixes
them wirh words like “Chrysalis” and
“focus”. She doesn’t seem to nave any
natura! talent for the softness of language.
Her poems that are meant to be hard are
certainly that. But they are nothing
more. They provide no insight, evoke no
feeling, and more important, they donate
no beauty. Anyone who writes, in a poem,
that a poet is:
“a mechanic tinkering with words,
later adjusting faulty mechanisms ,
a mediator between God and man
interpreting and translating concepts
into intelligible language,
can have little or no idea of the need for
delicacy or grace, in the art of poetry. She
is a Packard in a row of stained glass.
L. Wooten is better in her first poem
about Iceland. She draws a picture and
though there are faults if one lets himself

Dr. Newton is author of a recent article
in the National Geographic Magazine,
which details the search and discovery of
the Civil War Union ironclad “Monitor’,
which sand December 31, 1862, while
being towed to Beaufort, S.C. to complete
the Union blockade of Confederate ports.
Instrumental in the search for the
sunken ironclad was Gordon Watts, a
graduate student in history at ECU, who
studied the log of the tow ship, “Rhode

Editorials‘Commentary
Advisors aid in confusion
Upon entering college, most freshmen find themselves confronted with massive
contusion and great difficulty in knowing just how to go about choosing the right classes
to take. This is when they desperately need an advisor to help them along. :
Unfortunately, at this time many students have not decided which area they wish to
concentrate in. For these students, an advisor can only help with the often confusing
paper work and explanations on possibilities of troubles in the future. However, most
students have at least a general idea of their interest. For these students an advisor is a
necessity and the time they need one is in the first two years.
Uniess the student has chosen a specialized area which requires controlled
scheduling all four years, ike nursing or special education, he or she must complete a
two year General College program. This is fine, except that students who have
determined their major cannot deciare that major until the end of their sophomore year.
This means that they cannot be assigned an advisor in that fleid until their third year.
This presents many problems, for the student at least.
Upon entering the General College, every student is assigned by number to an advisor
whom they may contact If they experience any difficulty in those first two years. This
advisor will most likely be an expert in another area, completely unrelated to the
student's Interests. Therefore, he may not be able to give the student the particular
advice that he or she needs to know. Take for example, the General College student who
had planned on a History major since high schoo Wanting to be sure she was taking
the right steps (she was being cautious after hearing the many rumors of students ready
to graduate then finding out they have to take a particular course, or they have taken
courses which did not count toward their major or Minor, leaving them short some hours)
she looked up her advisor. He turned out to be a devoted chemistry professor, so
devoted in fact, that rather than answering her questions, he hurriedly agreed with
everything she said or wrote down, gave his glowing stamp of approval, a pat on the
back, then dashed off tc ‘5¢ lab, leaving her thoroughly confused. She only went to see
this professor twice, gi g up after the second try.
Not knowing any His. ory professors, she biundered her way through General College,
neglecting to take any history courses in an attempt to complete General Coliege first.
Now, finally finding herself finished with General College and assigned to a history
professor, she has found that she qualified for several honor programs, but lacks
adequate hours. Alas! The poor girl has knocked herself out over math, biology,
philosophy, etc only to find herself out of the achievements she should have had in her
major department
The point is, if students who already know their major choice upon entering college,
then they should be provided with an advisor in that fleid. This would be of immense
vaiue to the student, academically and financially, to guard against coming up short at
the end
General College is fine, but the system of assigning advisors who cannot give the
right advice or guidance at the time when it is most needed needs to be changed.
Freshmen entering college with their major already determined should be assigned
advisors in that area. Then, the st: conts who are still undecided can be assigned to any
advisor who merely knows “the basics There is really no reason why students cannot
Geciare a major their first two years if they are sure. It would avoid a lot of problems and
be much more rewarding to the student, and the department as well.

Sports society
To Fountainhead
We exist in a society that piaces a
heavy emphasis upon sports. For the
select few who are participants at the
coliege level, there is a possible
scholarship benefit. For the rare few who
become professionals, the prize is an
above-average salary - sometimes grossly
above-average. For the majority of we
plebeians, the role of the fan is our
delegated fate.
The Board of Trustees and the
administration have recently further
rewarded the minority with a near half
million dollars of lights for a stadium that
is second-rate. Since ECU cannot achieve
football excellence over the ACC on the
gridiron, we intend to brighten our way to a
number one ranking in electrical wattage at
a time when the other poor souls of the
country are practicing conservation
Ironically, a majority of the sports
minority are receiving no aid from the
expensive new light system. This observer
of several years has noticed the excessive
emphasis upon the pigskin and desires o
discover some equality for the outcasts of
the Minges family, eg crew, tennis, golf,
soccer, etc. If the activity fee must be
raised for sports, let the students see an
improvement somewhere besides the
almighty football team. The support of
intramurals is fine as long as the females
receive equal attention.
By the way: In one year, the
academics, fine arts, and sciences achieve
more honors than the entire sports
program can accomplish in five
years. How about rewarding them for 4
very rare change?
Old Roman
Blatant disregard
To Fountainhead
This letter is in response to Mr. Cliff
Moore, Vice-Chancellor of Business
Affairs. In Mr. Moore's statement to
Fountainhead, he displayed blatant
disregard for student rights, particularly
those of students with lesser financial
means. At one point he stated something
to the effect of having the students foot
the bill for the new lights in the stadium
since they do not have to pay for the
academic buildings on carpus. It sounds
as though, if Mr. Moore could have his
way, the students would be charged for the
view from the dormitory windows. Being
an expert on financial affairs, Mr. Moore
should realize that spiraling educational
costs will eventually force students, who
scrape by monetarily now, to forego a
higher education later. Perhaps Mr. Moore
feels that everyone who attends a college
here is either sitting on a gold mine OF
receiving endless cash from mommy and
daddy to have a good time, they being the
tax-payers who pay for his beloved
academic buildings. An administrator
such as this should be “booted out” of his
plush office long enough to witness tne
day to day “high living” of students ”
dorms plagued periodically by blackouts,
loss of hot water, and a modicum of heat
would like to see their schoo! in the
ACC as much as anyone, but beforehand, !
would like to cast my ballot with regard 10
any increase in student fees for athletic
programs. At this rate it will be “ACC and
busted”.

Passes
To Fountainhead :
would like to inquire as to why
students must obtain passes to see our
basketball game with Furman on Monday
Feb. 10. think it may have something to
do with our athletic dept. and their never
ending search for more money. Could it
be possible that our athletic dept. forgot
that students might want to see the game
and sold too many tickets to our local
citizenry, who for so long have supported
our basketball program by coming to the
games? (Why, you could probably sit
them all at a classroom desk very
comfortably.)
Our basketball team is in the middie of
a race for the Southern Conference title,
and Monday night will be a key game in
this shuffle. The students here at ECU
blindly and with no choice, pay an activity
fee every quarter, are being stomped on
again. True, the students may not have
filled the bleachers either, but if this is to
be a “first come, first serve” affair then the
students should get first seats since their
activity fees have been paid since late
November. But relatively few students
will be able to get passes to this game
because there are not many seats left, the
other seats have been sold. Even those
who wish to go must go out of their way
days in advance to obtain a “pass”.
So once again, the students are being
used. The students may not go see their
team play in Minges Monday if they are not
lucky enough to get a pass. would like to
see some action taken to see that this
doesn’t happen again. would also like to
see some people drop their thirst for
money down a little on their list of
priorities. The students are, in essence,
the university. We make it up and would
like to ask that we receive a little more
consideration in the future. Thanx, and
good luck to the team.
Michael Foy
Sports Editor's Note:
have spoken with the Athletic Director
Clarence Stasavich. He has assured me
that these passes are allocated to provide
for 3,500 student seats at the game
Due to the expected overflow crowd,
the Athletic Department has undertaken
this method to insure that students do get
seats in preference to the public.
if on Monday a reallocation of students
seats is needed, either more or less, the
Athletic Department will do so.
Once again, this practice is a one-time
thing and is implemented to insure that
those students wanting to see the game

‘Son of a bitch’
To Fountainhead :
On Monday, January 20, 1975, visited
your campus, in particular your art
department, as a prospective graduate
student. was in the company of Prof. Ray
Musselwhite of the N.C. State Univ.
school of design and a fellow student,
Barry Lumpkin, in whose van we were
traveling. was much impressed with your
art department. It’s facilities are excellent
and both faculty and students were
interesting and friendly.
However, am afraid to say that,
because of an event which occurred while
on your campus, find it hard to consider
coming to your school. When about 20
minutes into our tour of the art dept we
glanced out of a window to discover our
vehicle missing. Prof. Norman Keller, who
was serving as our guide, called your
campus police and was informed that the
vehicle had been towed.
We walked over to your security dept.
and Prof. Keller went into Mr. Calder's,
your chief of security, office to discuss the
matter. (We all expected that, as visitors
from another school in the univ. system,
we would have our van returned to us.)
What we heard bore little resembiance to a
discussion. In fact, but for Prof. Keller's
display of self control, it would most
certainly have been a brawl. Mr. Calder
refused to consider the possibility of error
on his part, or that it might be a polite
gesture toward visitors to return the
van. Finally, Prof. Keller, after doing his
best to get Mr. Calder to stop his babbling
and to listen to reason, told Mr. Calder that
he was being stupid not to discuss the
matter. Immediately, Mr. Calder, whose
ego must be as sensitive as a balloon
surrounded by pin points, went into a
temper tantrum. He called Prof. Keller a
son of a bitch, put his hands on him, toid
him to be a man and back up his words,
told him that he'd make him back his
words up with action off campus
sometime. He made it perfectly clear that
he desired e fight.personally was glad
that Mr. Caider was not wearing a gun.)
In any event, it seems to me that Mr.
Caider’s actions were totally uncalled for
under any circumstances, are certainly
incompatible with an academic com
munity, and are inexcusable coming from
a police officer. One wonders what his
reaction would have been had he been
subjected to verbal abuse. The presence
of such personalities in such sensitive
areas makes me wonder about your school
as a whole.
Sincerely,
James W.M. Smith
Good job
To Fountainhead :
At long last there is a student
committee on this campus whose efforts
produce positive action and benefit for
those students, like myself, who seek
good but inexpensive entertainment. am
of course referring to the Coffeehouse
Committee. Anyone attending last week-
end’s coffeehouse, featuring the Mad
Mountain Mime Group, was struck by the
unique yet thoroughly entertaining show
they put on. While the Coffeehouse
Committee cannot take credit for the talent
on its stage, they can take credit for
bringing it to ECU. for one would like to
thank Rick Spencer and the rest of the
Coffeehouse Committee for bringing to
our entertainment-starved campus a bevy
of refreshing entertainers at a price that is
right (twenty-five cents).
A Thankful Student

Part of North Carolina is sinking and
the oceans are rising! This was the theme
of the Sierra Club's fourth meeting Monday
night featuring the film “Waterbound, Our
Changing Outer Banks,” presented by Dr
Stan Riggs of the ECU Geology Dept
More than 50 persons attended the
meeting held at the First Presbyterian
Church, 14th and Elm St
Dr. Phil Adler, ECU History professor
and executive chairman of the local Sierra
club, welcomed members and visitors to
the meeting

Riggs diagramed the erosional pattern
that nas shaped the Outer Banks today
Due to the rising sealevel of the past
17,000 years and the sinking of the outer
banks system north of Cape Hatteras, the
beachfront has been pushed coastward for
1,000 years at an average rate of five to ten
feet per year,” he said
‘No single system is a geologically
dynamic (energy of waves against the
beacn) on a continuous basis as the
coastal zone, stressed Riggs.
But he also noted: “Any severe storm
can erode up to 100 feet, and an unusually
stormy season could witness the loss of
200 to 300 feet of beachfront.”

read frequently
“The promotion should take approxi-
mately $150 to provide the contests and
promotion we want,” Leutgens said. “This
money is supplied through the sale of soft
drinks in the lounge across the hall from
ECU campaigns for listeners with the ‘Uncontest’
the radio station.”
Five new transmitters have been
ordered for instaliment this month for the
dorms which do not yet receive WECU's
Signal. The transmitters were bought with
money allocated by the SGA.
“The SGA gave approximately $5,000
which paid for the transmitters,” said
Leutgens. “This left $200 to pay for
installation by Joe Scarborough, a student
engineer. The dorms needing the
transmitters are Clement, Garrett, and Slay
among others.”
Leutgens started as general manager of
WECU at the beginning of winter quarter.
He worked for a year as business manager.
Leutgens felt the campaign with the
contest was necessary to pick up where
things have lagged in the past at
WECU. He attributes the lag to the growth
of progressive oriented radio stations in
the area and to the large tumover in
personnel at WECU.
“During fall quarter we went through
three general managers,” said Leutgens.
“Jim Deans, who resigned at the end of fall
quarter, did a very good job of putting the
station back on its feet to some extent. He
was responsible for gettng the money from
the SGA for transmitters.
“A lot of unnecessary things were
bought during spring and early fall quarter
this year which cost a lot of money. We
are beginning to get over that now.”
Along with the campaign, WECU also
invites students interested in radio work to
apply immediately with L.J. Shannon,
chief announcer. Openings for work occur
frequently and allow time for new persons
to find work not long after they begin
there.
“No licenses are required,” said
Leutgens. “We really want to hire girls for
our staff. It would probably be wise to
take speech or drama before coming to
apply to improve your voice.”
The Postal Service claimed that tne
firm “had knowingly cooperated in a mis-
representation scheme by selling research
papers to students who would in tum
represent these papers at school as their
own work for grading.”
Postal Service attorney Thomas
Ziebarth said the Postal Service Consumer
Protection Office considered the term
paper company quilty of cheating and
misleading a third party - university
professors receiving its products from
students who ordered them.
Alan Pederson, owner of the company,
which also advertises under the name of
Professional Researchers, said he thinks
the Postal Service action is unconstitu-
tional.

The Employment Agency cannot
enforce these regulations, but it can refuse
help growers recruit workers if they do
not meet the standards,” Barrow said
Some farmers by-pass the regulations
by bringing in the workers themselves,
according to Barrow. The Health Depart-
ment and OSHA are the only means of
enforcing those who by-pass
In the 1974 season OSHA played a
small role because they had not acquired
enough monitors,” said Barrow. “There
were probably 100 workers in Pitt County
during the last season who came in on

The Wage and Hour Law forces the
labor crew leader to obtain a registration

order to get a registration card, the crew

must have sufficient insurance, and he
must inform the workers of the work.

Our responsibility as concerned
citizens and public workers is to find their
problems and help them,” said White
‘All who are involved in seasonal labor
are busy people. The farmers, crew
leaders and workers have to get the work
done in order to reach the market
deadlines,” he said
“We as volunteers should remember
that what we do should be planned around
their schedule
“The main thrust of our concern should
be with the worker because he has been
neglected and exploited for so long,”
White continued. “However, we can't
improve the situation of one group by
harming the interests of another
“We must coordinate and cooperate
with all concerned and not overlook the
problems of either group,” he said
‘It is important to fill the worker's
leisure time with constructive activities,”
White contended. “They enjoy recreation

Lawler to chair MLA seminar
By BARBARA MATHEWS
Staff Writer
Dr. Donald L. Lawler of the ECU
English department will chair a seminar at
the Modern Language Association (MLA)
convention in San Francisco next
December
Topic of the seminar will be the works
of novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr
According to Lawler, MLA members are
invited to sponsor seminars on topics of
special interest
‘The seminars are a way of opening up
new avenues of thought for the
development of the members,” he said
Lawler says Vonnegut has “captured
the imagination of students, not just
professional types. He plans to invite
Vonnegut and Vonnegut's critics to the
seminar. An account of the proceedings
may be published.
Dr. Lawler presented a paper, “Science
Fiction and the Shaping of Things to
Come,” at the MLA convention in New
York last December. It will be published
by the Science Fiction Research
Association later this year.
In the paper, Lawler asked if anything
could be seriously thought of as shaping
the future
‘Science fiction shapes our thinking
about the future,” he said. “Shaping the
imagination is the most important point.”
Lawier said there is a good deal of
resistance on the part of science fiction
authors to being institutionalized
‘This could create an inhibition to
write,” he said. “We need a happy medium
between the denunciation of science
fiction as a popular literary form and a
death embrace as the literature of the
future.’
Science fiction is, according to Lawler,
a living literature
It is a living tradition, one still being
shaped and formed,” he said. “Science
fiction is the literary form of our age - the
expression of the modern spirit.”
The number of high schools and
universities offering science fiction
courses is growing, according to Lawler.
“The growth is related to a revival in
folk and popular culture and the
development of the spirit of self-exami-
nation,” he said.
Lawler teaches several courses in
science fiction and modem fantasy at
ECU
He received his doctorate from the
University of Chicago. He joined the ECU
faculty in 1968

Time-out
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Fan support could play a major role in the Pirates’ upcoming two-game home stand
against Davidson on Saturday and Furman on Monday
On the Six-game road trip which the Pirates have just completed the home-crowd
advantage played a major role in three of the contests in Lexington, Va Norfolk, Va
and Greenville, S.C
Of these three games, East Carolina came away with two two-point victones and a
nen-point loss to Furman
Basketbal, being the sport which it is, can be greatly affected by fan partisanship
This was evident in the Pirates’ road trip of late
When the Pirates traveled to Lexington to play the VMi Keydets, the crowd advantage
was almost enough to spell victory for the Keydets
in the VMI Fieldhouse the Pirates were subject to the noise which came from the
2.500 VMI fans which overflowed the ancient gym
» the Pirate team was so great, in fact, that ECU coach Dave Patton
abdeled the gym the toughest place in the conference to play
This is the toughest place to play in the conference,” said Patton
f here and leave with a win you ve really done something.”
The effect
“If you can come
The outcome of the VMI game was in the Pirates’ favor, but the 82-80 score was a
reat dea! the result of the home court Keydet advantage
With every VMI score or steal, the deafening roar made it difficult for the Pirates to set
PD to Diay
Despite the crowd, coach Patton's troops beat the Keydets
Earlier in the season, coach Patton had occasion to remark on the Pirate Squad's road
lay
. wish someone wouid tell me why we play so well on the road and not at home.”
Said Patton
The folks in Greenville don’t think we can play because we haven't played the way we
can in front of them yet
These sentiments were echoed out after the Old Dominion game as well
Playing before a crowd of around 5,000 Oid Dominion fans, the Pirates had to battie
jdoth the Monarchs and the crowd to a 71-469 come-frombehind win
The deafening crowd roar provided the Monarchs with the early advantage and
support for a lead the Pirates barely overcame
Finally last Saturday, the Pirates’ fine road trip was dealt a tarnishing blow when the
eaway-court disadvantage overcame the Pirates in Greenville, S.C
True the Furman victors won by 86-76, but the overflow crowd of 5.725 at the
Memorial Auditorium had to be worth ten points to the Paladins Especially when the
Pirates went to the foul line or fell behind and had to catch Up against the defense
rented Paladins. The crowd was just one more obstacle the Pirates could not
Overcome
There were students already seated at the auditorium two hours before game time in
order to get good seats for the game. That shows the intensity the Furman student body
nas for basketball, as wel! as the residents of the city
Saturday's loss proved a disappointing one for the Pirates, but they are still
onvinced they can best the Furman team here in Greenville
USt hope the people at home will keep coming to see us.” said Patton, earlier in the
year. “If they do, promise we are going to put on a show for them.”
And now is the time for all good fans to come to the aid of the basketball team
Talent-wise, the Pirates are equal to or better than the Furman club, but they need a
ull house Monday night to get the compiete home court advantage they need to win
With a 14-5 record, the squad is probably the greatest basketbal! team the school
ever Nad, but last Saturday night proved they were not invincible in the conference
The crowds have been respectable thus far this year, but Minges Coliseum should be
packed for the Davidson and Furman games coming up
Vhen you go to the games, be noisy, loud and partisan. The effect this has on the
two teams is noticeable in the two team’s performances. as it was Saturday against
Furman
If the Pirates can lose their poise so can Furman, especially the short-tempered Clyde
Mayes
Wouldn't it be great to have 7.000 screaming Pirate fans at Minges Coliseum on
Saturday and Monday to cheer the deserving Pirate team on against Furman and
Davidson?
it sure would be, but it is up to you

The East Carolina University swim
team added two more dual meet victories
to its record last weekend when it soundly
defeated teams from Old Dominion
University (84-27) and Virginia Common-
wealth University (72-39)
In the two decisive victories, the
swimmers broke eight meet records
against Old Dominion. The win over VCU
was impressive, considering the VCU team
was undefeated prior to the meet
However, Coach Ray Scharf saw the
meet as a “lackluster meet from my point
of view,” and a meet which his swimmers
“just did not get excited about.”
IN general, the meet found several
swimmers switching events to gain
experience and practice in other events
Against the two teams, the Pirates
collected seven firsts. Both relay teams
won for the Pirates, as well as five
individuals. Tomas Palmgren won the
1,000 freestyle, PaulSchiffel in the 200
individual mediey, Steve Ruediinger in the
200 butterfly, Bobby Vail in the 100
frestyle, and Rick Prince in the 200
backstroke event
The two victories brought the team’s
dual meet record to 8&2, but Coach Scharf
Still found some aspects of the team to
worry about
“We've hit a plateau in our season,”
said Scharf. “We're hoping for a good
meet against State.”
The N.C. State meet is the tearn’s next
competition and will be in Raleigh on
February 12. In the State meet, the Pirates
will Nave their work cut out for them.
