Marchers parade, picket stores
in support of stiHent boycott
By DAVE ITTEHMANN
(Special to Fountainhead)
Approximately 400 to 500 people n arched
through downtown Greenville in suppoit of the
ECU student boycott yesterday afternoon.
Students gathered on the mall at I p.m.and
by 1:30 left the campus in pairs at the Fifth
Street entrance. They walked down Fifth Street
past Dr. Leo Jenkins' house and into
downtown.
The protesters then turned right on Fvans
Street and marched past Coffman's Men's Shop,
picking up supporters along the way At the
Third Street intersection the students and
non-students supporters turned right, went to
the intersection, turned right again, and
marched down Cotanche Street.
Flags from the Kappa Sig, Lambda Chi and
other fraternities were being flown with signs of
"Do you want freedom? Let Leo buy this ghost
town
Ray Landon, manager of the Hardee's
Cafeteria, commenting on the march said, "It

are carrying out their protest
When asked how Hardee's stood on the
boycott issue Landon said, "Hardee's, as a
chain operation, can take no siand one way or
the other. My personal feelings are that the
students are requesting ti be heard in a
peaceful manner. I believe they should be
listened to and a decision made in agreement
with both sides. I will attend tonight's meeting
at the Pizza Chef
The police also had i few comment! for the
Fountainhead. Sgt. J R K"ss. a fifteen year
veteran, said, "The students were orderly, very

Counselor sees
society of drugs
By BRENDA BATTS
(Special to Fountainhead)
"We arc an intoxicated society said Dr.
George Weigand. director of the ECU
Counseling Center
Alcohol is one of the worst drugs of all. Yet
it is perfectly legal for anyone of a certain age
to drink. Weigand said.
The d ug problem at ECU is similar to that
of other campuses, he said. "We get hysterical
about the abuse of three oi four drugs by
students while thousands of drugs are abused
by the g-ncral public he said
"In 920 the hysteria was over bootleg
booze, and now it's drugs However, death
attributt d directly to drugs is rare
CAMPUS DRUGS
Weifcand said the drug problem on campus is
really a symptom of a much deeper problem.
Many s.udents do not know what they want
from college.
Studi nts may coith to college for various
reasons It could be because their parents
pressund them, or tl at they were trying to
avoid the draft
Manv i�f these studints have no direction or
goal to ai n for. Weigard said.
Ther' . too much "emphasis on
memorization and reurgitation of facts ir
the educational system of today, according i�
Weigand. Education should be a challenge ti
the mind to think, and apply what you learn.
Why do students revert to drugs "For th
same reasons adults do. Some people use drugs
'Play in natural setting'
to avoid society. Others are searching to find
out who they are and what to do.
"We have no real knowledge of illegal drugs
usage. We see only the freakouts stated
Weigand.
DANGER OF DRUGS
"The extent and seriousness of all drug usage
should be investigated Weigand went on to
say that people should be educated to the
dangers of drugs, and that experimentation
with drugs should be left to those with the
facilities to control them
At one time there was only one form of
treatment for drug patients. If you didn't
respond to it you were considered hopeless, he
continued. Now there is a variety oi" treatments
available These treatments include group
therapy, and halfway houses.
What can we do to help solve the drug
situation in the United States Weigand
suggested the election of people to political
office who are "more people-orient -d
One student asked if Weigand believed m
legalizing pot. "I don't think just legalizing pot
would be the answer. It wouldn't help cure
anything. But it would be better than putting
people in jail for having pot, when perhapr.
officers should be out arresting drunk drivers
Asked if he thought the recent raids in
Greenville did any good, Weigand said, "Nj
Weigand is a graduate of Joins Hopkins
University, where he majored in psychology. He
came to ECU in 1963.

a symptom of a much

students have no goal in

'Don Giovanni' opera
comes to provinces
By JOHN WALLACE
(Staff Writer)
The Goldovsky Grand Opera Theater
brought "Don Giovanni" to the provinces this
past Tuesday Although Boris Goldovsky, its
artistic director, encouraged the audience to
write their congressional representatives to
continue the support of endeavors such as this
one. by the end of the evening one wondered if
he were to write, what he would say.
Opera is not, and has never been, as popular
as light theatre or musical comedy, yet it seems
that this production tried to turn it into one or
the other. Opera, like poetry, suffers in
translation. One is Sble to follow the story line
but one loses the feeling for the Italian
language. Arias that are familiar in their Italian
setting wither a.id fade when transported to
English soil.
SLOPPY OVERTURE
This production did not even try to water
the bloom. Maestro Goldovsky never brought
out the true tension of the situation as Mozart
created it in music. The overture was, to say the
least, loose, and at some points sloppy.
Leporello's first song, "Notte e giorno
faticar" (To work night and day) was taken at a
tempo that exalted the tortoise rather than the
hare Richard McKee's Leporello was
adequately sung, and like the reset of the cast,
poorly acted.
When Donna Anna, Jeanette Dagger, entered
on Don Giovanni's arm, her hystrianics were
more becoming Carol Burnette's charwoman
than a noble Spanish lady. In this production's
scene three,AetTwo, Miss Dagger restricted her
gestures and exhibited a control over her voice,
reaching probably the only scene of genuine
music in the opera with her "Non mi dir" (Do
not tell me).
Dudley Stiles was an enjoyable Don. He
looked the part, and in the scenes where his
hands wandered lecherously over his expected
conquests, he was most convincing.
UNFORTUNATE DELETION
William Brown was about as good as one can
expect from the vacillating Don Ottavio. His
blackness presented a problem that was not
solved sympathetically. One of the many
unfortunate deletions of the evening was his
first act aria, "Dalla sua pace" (On your peace).
His "II mio tesoro" demonstrated a less than
subtle transition into his falsetto and a series of
runs that were less than smooth.
Brenda Sinka's Donna Elvira was haughty.
Her grating voice made it difficult to
sympathize with the unfortunate lady. June
Cooper's Zerlina and Adib Fazah's Massetto
were cute. Their first long duet in Act One was
excessively sweet, but their later encounter
after Massetto was wounded was delightful.
There were other aspects of the production
though. One never forgot theghastly sounds of
the electronic harpsichord, or forget the
amateurish sword play, disregarded the
inattention to convincing props such as
leporello's Spanish book. The ending of the
play which ties together the various elements of
the plot was gingerly dismissed. It seems to
have been done without good cause
Grand opera is grand When it tries to appeal
where there is no response, it merely offends.
An audience understands the restrictions placed
on a portable set, but they can still hope for a
first rate production that rises above these
material limitations This production was
merely limited

James gives two mam reasons for the

The other reason James gives is the post

vears the men and women born from 1945 to
1951 have been graduating from colleges and
flooding the job market.
Now jobs for which college giaduates are
required are becoming scarce The supply has at

is hard for me to believe. Truthfully, I don't
know where I find all the time I am seeking a
triple B A in English, Philosophy, nad Drama
Enough about me. let's turn our attention to
you.
You. each of you, have aided and supported
me in my campaign for the vice presidency of
the SGA. and I want to take this opportunity
to thank you Yes, there have been tunes at
ECU when my campaign posters would have
been torn down, marked upon, or ripped apart
Simply, because am black. But students like
yourselves are the leaders of tommorrow and I
am assured that 1 and those like me can
establish enough rapport among ourselves to
coexist in mutual harmony and friendship in
the world ol tommorrow.
I have only one thing to say towards the
President of last Carolina University, Dr. Leo
Jenkins I recite a passage of Victor Hugo: If
souls are left in darkness, sins will be
committed, the guilty one is not he who
commits the sins, but he who creates the
darkness In layman terms, the students are not
to be blamed for the present situation at ECU.
You have been given the chance to ask me
questions this week. But now, I leel it most
important to ask you one. I sat in the Student
Union lobby each day during Bixon-MATH
talk rime m irder to talk to you, but 1 was
disappointed and disillusioned. Look about
you Where are the rest of our students? Don't
thev care about their SGA9 Maybe not, but I
strongly feel that it is now the time for each
and every ECU student to become more active,
to seek the unanswered questions, and to
become more aware of their SGA Ten dollars
of their quarterly fees are taken obligatorily.
Do they know where theit money is spent0
Don't they care0 Do you care? My question is
this what do you want your SGA to do for
you No one has approached me with
constructive ideas tor the improvement of the
SGA No one has recommended or suggested
what they want their vice-president to be. The
only discourse I received is detrimental to the
SGA It seeks to destroy the only effective
vehicle we have to gain responsibility,
independence, and autonomy, independent of
the administration. Today, if each of you
would become active in your SGA and urge
others to care, though I was defeated in my
race for the vice-presidency assuredly, I will
have attained a more complete victory for the
students of East Carolina University
My sincere thanks to those who supported
me. a question of "Why'1" to those who voted
against me, and a plea to participate to the 61
per cent of the student body who did not vote
at all
The Forum
Many other universities could learn much from
your struggle
Right on!
Thank you,

No student rights
To Fountainhead
I feel that the situation of visitation is a small
problem, however, the actions taken by out
president with respect to Tuesdav night totally
eliminated all student tights This display ol
unnecessary power can happen and has
happened on many campuses throughout the
United States. Many tunes it has been retaliated
by violence. My congratulations to the students
of ECU for not stooping so low as to use
violent tactics as those that were displayed by
the police.
Geoffrey Knowles
Streets in turmoil
To Fountainhead
With the boycott in full swing, the police
busting people on the Greenville city streets, it
seems appropriate at this time to quote the
alter ego of the present administration
"The streets of our country are in turmoil.
The universities are tilled with students
rebelling and noting Communists are seeking
to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us
with her might And the republic is in danger

Fight song worthy
To Fountainhead:
Fellow patriots, seeing the lyrics of the
World War I fight song which appeared in a
letter printed in a recent issue of the
Fountainhead, it occured to me that they are
perhaps worthy of some sort ot revival. Since
we couldn't really get it all on a bumpersticker
(much less leave room for the flag) perhaps
someone could commission the Star Spangled
freaks or some other appropriate rock group to
set it to a new beat. Work on it. will ya fellas0
Ernest Marshall
Philosophy Department
Continue boycott
To Fountainhead:
I favor the current boycott of downtown
merchants for its economic potentialities Our
student body is in a position to reverse local
economic trends and serve as an example of
consumer self-protection I am not a trained
economist, and my theories may be wrong, but
I see the possibilities as follows
By selective buying, the consumer reinforces
low prices enabling the selected merchant to
continue them Boycotted businesses would be
forced to undercut the already low prices,
reaffirming competitive enterprise without
government intervention. By solidly backing
the boycott, we could improve local economics.
The college campus has many advantages as a
center for consumer action There are
organizations capable of unifying the student
body (SGA, fraternities, etc.) so that the
student body becomes a single unified
consumer. There are campus facilities which
offer goods at reasonable prices. The campus
has trained economists who can watch
economic trends and can tell when a change of
policy is needed, such as a change in the list of
selected merchants
For these reasons, I suggest a continuance ot
the boycott cfter political issues are resolved,
with due notification to the businesses involved
explaining our motives Thus the merchants will
see what they must do to regain our business
If it were to work in Greenville, 1 suggest
that the SGA contact colleges and universities
across the country telling of the effects of our
boycott, and to propose nationwide expansion
of the idea The college could serve as a usetul
tool foi the reversal of national economic
trends.
Let me repeat that I am not a trained
economist, and the results might very easily be
disastrous I would welcome an economist's
view on the subject.
Allan C. Jones
Way out for Leo
To Fountainhead:
The students of ECU have, with this boycott
business, won. hut they don't seem to realize it
The SGA and MRC. along with all other
orgaruatioiis concerned, should not issue a
statement declaring a victory. That statement
should sav something to the effect of: 1,
because ol a student boycott on downtown
Greenville merchants. I eo Jenkins has
reconsidered and reinstated all students that
were suspended because ot then action on the
night oi March 30. 2. because of the
reinstatement the SGA and MRC are removing
the pickets from downtown Greenville; 3. since
the students ol ECU are adults and willing to
compromise, the SGA and MRC will hit the
boycott of downtown Greenville as soon as the
dorm students are given the right to decide the
visitation policy m each dorm bv referendum in
those dorms
In my opinion, a statement such as this
(worded differently ot course) would do many
things It would give the administration of this
university a way out I realize that main
students do not wish foi the administration to
have a way out, but think of it this way If an
animal is backed into a corner without any
means ol escape, that animal is going to come
straight at his attacker no matter how much he
is outnumbered. He will be thinking of nothing
but doing his advisarv harm But. give that
animal a means of escape and he will assuredly
take it (even it it's the road you wish him to
take )
With the demand for all students'functions
to be governed by students, we have Jenkins,
the administration, and the Board of Trustees
backed into a corner; they will never agree to
this demand Believe me. they are coming
straight forward with what could be disastrous
results for the students of ECLI. If the SGA and
MRC stated we would be willing to grve up that
privilege for the right to have a "head count" to
decide the visitation policy, the administration
would more than likely be guided down our
roadway.
Since everyone knows an organization always
demands more than it actually wants, to make
sure they secure what they do want, this would
not be a concession on the part of ECU
students.
After following our lead, Jenkins would
undoubtedly state that again the wise
administration had succeeded in overcoming
the rebellious students, but . We could know
the truth.

To Fountainhead
What is going on today on our campus0 Is a
little thing like visitation worth noting tor'
President Jenkins has taken a long time to
respond to our requests But did you ever think
that he probably has a good reason 'From my
point of view, the visitation policy that was in
effect was sufficient There would be no
studying atmosphere in the dormitories if there
was seven-day visitation It is hard as hell to
study in the dorms now and when you got a
bunch of girls running around, who can
concentrate0
About the confrontation with the police last
Tuesday night There were people among the
EC students who were not emolled here From
what I have heard, they were from a western
university What were they doing on our
campus0 Let's don't let outsiders stir up trouble
at our school It has happened on campuses all
over the United States for the past couple ol
years
I was a supporter ot the move for the
visitation rights until I sat down and thought
about what was going on It you have tune,
read the article in the March edition ol Readers'
Digest about the Kent State incident let's not
turn the campus into chaos
Sincerely youis
