Campus discussed
Registration for ECU's unique overseas campus program at
Bonn. Germany for 1972-73 is now possible for only one or two
quarters, as well as for the entire academic year. This
announcement was made last week by Dr. Robert W Williams,
University Provost, shortly after his return from a visit to Bonn
In addition to negotiating the terms of ECU's contract with the
German foundation which owns Haus Steineck, the site of ECU
Bonn, Williams discussed the current program with the Risedent
Director, Dr Hans H Indorf of the ECU Political Science
Ttepartment. German staff members, and most of all with the
students.
His findings generally coincided with the opinions expressed
in The Forum (FounUinhead. Tuesday, March 21) by 29 of the
37 students currently at Bonn. Like most other major
undertakings, international or otherwise, the Bonn program has
had its share of problems, Williams acknowledged. These have
been recognized and appropriate corrective action has been
initiated
Most of the problems have been due to inflation in Germany
and the worldwide decline in the value of the American dollar
The monetary situation has been attacked in two ways. First the
fee for the Bonn program has been increased for next year by
nearly ten percent. Second, the contract with the German
foundation has been written in such a way as to reduce somewhat
the total cost of leasing Haus Steineck Another change, upenmg
registration on a quarter by quarter basis, is intended to make the
program available to more students, thereby reducing the
possibility that it might have to be discontinued for lack of
participants
To make application or obtain additional information on cost
and travel arrangements for one or two quarters or the entire
year, see Robert Franke. campus administrator for the Bonn
program, in Room A 105 of the Social Studies Building, between
8 30 and 5:00. If at all possible, Franke suggests that you see him
before the spring holidays.

SGA candidates receive students' endorsements
To Fountainhead:
Undoubtedly, the candidates that receive letters, receive them
by solicitation and the letter content is full ol analytical reasons
why so and so should hold a particular office.
Well, this letter will not contain any qualitative analysis of
each candidate nor was it solicited by any member of the
S.O.A.P. platform committee, but instead it was offered to the
committee as a token of appreciation.
Students of Anarchist Principles, is by far the most progressive
student oriented organization on campus. Its platform is'simple
and to the point-abolish the SGA Some on this campus can sec
the SOAP viewpoint, others on campus, they don't understand
why the abolition of the SGA is needed.
It is needed so that the students on this campus, and others
like it can control the student aspect of the University without
having some political egotist telling the students what to do. The
students on each and every university campus should and must
control student funds. To do this certain steps must be taken: 1)
the students must confront the student body as a whole and tell
students of administrative controls, 2) the students must then tell
the administration that reforms must be made and 3) after the
administration has refused (as on this campus) the students must
then become independent of the administration.
Attei the SGA has boon moved off campus, then working
through the ,ourt system the students wdl sue the State of North
Carolina claiming legal control of their funds. The battle will be
long and difficult, but students of every type complain about the
administration but up until now no one would do anything Well
SOAP is now the only alternative, and looking at every alternative
that is put before the student, the logical road to take.
On Tuesday, March 28, vote SOAP.

On Tuesday. March 28, another SGA election will take place
Many students will perhaps fail to vote using as their reason the
?'powerlessness" of the SGA I would hope that all students could
unite and vote in this election to help make their SGA nose
powerful and more viable. Several good candidates will be on the
ballot for the various offices. One of the most exceptional
candidates in my mind is Rick Atkinson Rick, runninfc for SGA
Vice President is an individual who is not only concerned about
students and their rights, he is an individual who has the
intelligence, the rationality, and the deep-down guts to work to
his utmost for the good of all students. I will consider it a
privilege to vote for Rick Atkinson on March 28. I sincerely hope
that all students will study each individual candidate and then
cast his vote accordingly
Sincerely.

As members of an oppressed majority, we urge all women
students to cast their votes for the one Vice-Presidential
candidate who will be truly effective in eliminating the
repercussions of East Carolina's double-standard. We feel that
Rick Atkinson is not only capable of talking about problems, but
that he has the ideas, drive, and understanding to correct them.
We hope that all women will cast their votes for more than an
empty voice. Vote action!

- more at root) 1 of or relating to the root proceeding directly
from the root, as e: designed to remove the root of a disease or
all diseased tissue (surgery) - compare conservative (from
Webster's Third New International Dictionary unabridged).
It has been so long since I have made a public statement on
ANY issue that I may have some difficulty expressing my
thoughts on a subject which I feel should be addressed most
strongly, however, those of you who remember the name Bob
Thonen may feel what I have to say worth the extra effort.
Since late last spring I have maintained a moratorium on
public statements and overt actions. The reasons for this decision
included severe family sickness and financial as well as other
problems in addition to a general feeling on my part that one
individual is simply not capable of bringing about radical (see
above) change without a large amount of support.
The emergance of the Students of Anarchists Principles
(S.O.A.P.) has indicated to me that there is an unknown number
of students who seem to view the current student situation
similarly to the way that I do. From the SOAP, platform: "It is
time that students realize that the SGA is nothing but a puppet
government sanctioned by the Administration to be used for its
purposes. It does not represent the student body; rather, it
becomes a buffer between the wishes of the students and the
ruling hierarchy, diverting attention away from the true source of
corruption, the admim.siration It is quite simple The SCA is
simply a lackey ot LooW. Jenkins and his cronies
The answer to this problem cited by S.O.A.P. likewise reflects
the views that I hold: there is only one major issue ,n our
campaign That is the complete abolishment of .he present
Student Government Association, through its constitution "And
further, "We propose that the constitution be abolished and an
entirely new one be drawn up by a delegat.on of concerned
students, elected a. large from the student body specifically for
this purpose I he document would then be required to be ratified
by a 23 vote of the students voting
Such extensive surgery as this is only justified when all other
actions have been found to fail. For this reason I bring to your
attention the occurances of las. spring mcludmg such depressing
events as the total failure of vis.tat.on and the mass.v
admmistration attack on the campus newspaper. The resignation
of Glennrowshaw following the crushing, behind the scenes
actions of the administration, the sarmlar resigna.um of )av,d
Edward, and fhe control the administration holds over the very
qualifications of those the students can elect to ,ep,ese

specifically for this purpose. A, the tf -
will ot the students an individual w,l be m the offlce ,? km
who will be able to do the most with ,he tools that .he present
structure provides.
I suggest that the following course of action be taken
1 That those students who fee this course Qf
promise should vote for Rob Luisana who will then instigate the
referendum procedures as prov,ded by ,he existing constitution
2. Should the students indicate by their votes tha. they do ,n
fact desire the rewriting ol the SGA const.tut.on an election
would then be held to select the co,npoS1,ion of a Constitutional
Convention which will be responsible to, determining .he form
the new constitution shall take Th,s same convention will be
responsible for contacting the colleges and universities by either
personal or phone contact. Wide have already taken this course
of action in order to put together an entire package wh.ch would
not legally be subject to the approval of Leo
.3. The election of these -epresentatives would not have to be
bound by such current assinine qualifications as having a 2 0
average or belonging to a certain class or group or any other
divisive requirements because there is no mention of
"qualifications" lor any Constitutional Convention in the SGA
constitution.
4. Give these individuals enough time to thoroughly research
and draw up the proposed new constitution which would be
presented to the entire student body ,n the first two or three
weeks in the fall and would require a 23's vote for approval
5. Should the students not accept the firs, rewrite .he
eonvent.on would be required to remam m tetOB an(J offerj
changes in the form of formal votes at a irrinirmon of once a
month until they offer the students a constitution which they
find acceptable.
6. The existing SGA structure would remain in effect and
continue functioning until such time as the students formally
accept a new constitution, at which time whatever structure
contained in the new constitution would be implemented within
one month.
If such a course of action is going .? succeed then the students
will have to indicate to the individuals running that they will no
longer accept lackeys of the administration representing them and
that they will no longer accept continuation of a form of
government which is not representative of themselves. Such
drastic surgery as this is necessary if we are to have a form of
government which is not diseased and rotten to the core.

I wish to address this letter to all students who consider
themselves open-minded and clear -thinking human beings.
Of late, the cry on this campus has been. Why are we living
in the past?" The Administration seems f bleve that we are
lobotomized zombies who can't make ii.ielligent and rational
decisions on our own. The students' l:sk is to make this idea an
idea of the past. If we intend to make this institution into a true
university, we must elect someone who is strong-willed and
well-informed The office of SGA President can no longer be a
vital office if it is manned" by self satisfied egotists
For those of you in the student body who want this university
ar J it. SGA to become the progressive and well-organized body it
must, I urge you to THINK and THINK AGAIN on election day
I he future of this student body (and its power) isn t worm a
damn if its head (the SGA President) is screwed on backward,
decapitated i made of mud. In othei terms ??? need ? tving
liil, , a mi ??? A 'ivitcvinan. ln- lu discipline and
dedication As jn honor giaduale (4 O) of a .unic.r college, she is a
strong believer in the power ol education As a person, she is
decisive, diplomatic, strong- willed and prudent. But all these are
just words, and words can never adequately present the true
person.
If you are truly open-minded, and feel that this school needs a
progressive change, then make your vote worth something toward
that change. Don't succumb to out-dated traditions and peer
group pressures. Tome out of the past and vote intelligently vote
for lee McLaughlin
Sincerely.

After reading the presidential candidates' views on the issues
on this campus, I was amazed at the lack of reality in the
majority of their opinions. What can the student body do afiout
the construction of the new student union when the land has
been purchased and the money appropnated, with the approval
of a previous Student Government? If the aim of candidates
seeking office is to completely undo what past Student
Governments have done, the end result will be chaos What
guarantee do we have that the money would be rechanneUed into
"more useful areas" if stopping construction were possible
I realize that appealing to the student body emotionally over
issues out of our control is good political tactics, but we are in
college now and should be responsible enough students to
demand representatives who are capable of cutting through this
garbage and accomplishing realistic goals
Lee McLaughlin is capable of this As a candadate for SGA
President. I feel that she is the most competent and truly
concerned candidate running. When you vote today, consider the
issues and the ptoposed plans of action. Wouldn't a realistic-
person with insight be a refreshing change?

To Fountainhead:
Rob Lusiana has received publicity for his participation in
campus causes. I noticed that along with Lusiana two people
unknown to me for their contributions on campus are running
with him. This coalition makes you wonder about the courage
and self-esteem that the other two people may have. Whether true
or not it seems they are trying to ride Luaana's tale of fame into
office. This is similar to when Agnew an unknown ran on Nixon's
tail Of course, I'm not saying that these two people are as
qualified as Agnew (I mean unqualified) As has been stated in
the past, we need leaders, not ves men to the executive Whether
this coalition suffers a lack ol courage to stand on then own
without Lusiana s publicity is a matter for the people on campus
to decide. We need people who will stand by themselves, lor what
they are and have done. Not people who w II stand in the shadow
of someone else's ability and courage. I feel people should he
elected that have something to say and do, people who take a
stand on then own and who have the guts to back it.

We. as students ol 111 having lived with SGA presidential
candidate, Lee McLaughlin, in Tyler Dorm this year feel that
she best meets the requirements of an SGA with a future.
Although of an older generation, l,ee has an uncanny insight
into the needs of the youth of today She is the only candidate
tunning for president that has a sensible campaign She diesn't
ask tor blood and reform, but equality tor the students and an
understanding with the administtatton of ECU Lee McLaughlin
has tact, sensibility, and a need lo set the student in his proper
place on campus.

Why not have Kathy HoOoman as SGA Vice I'rosulent'7 At
least she has the fortitude to tun independently and is I
depending on some mythical coalition to pull hei through I nn
more credible is the fact that she's been shouting criticisms of the
status qu? since last year ? and has not suddenly taken up ten
popular issues to insure election. Her interest has been consistent.
Someone must surely be rational enough to vote for an

I'm writing to announce my support for Tun Wehner as
Treasurer of the SGA
As a visiting student this quarter, 1 have no campus pull,
political muscle, or such credentials like being in varsity sports,
being in the.SGA being in a fraternity and so on. but do plead
guilty to being only an individual who would like to be heard like
anyone else.
I have known Tim Wehner for a short time, but he has
demonstrated to me 3 clear, unshakable determination to be an
open, above the board, people's treasurer.
Tim Wehner can be believed. 1 trust him. In this busy election
year, so full of promises and various bull, knowing there is
somebody running we can just simply trust might be all we can
honestly hope for.

Since spring elections are here again, the voters on campus
should take time to look al the Candidates,Each candidate's views
should be considered.
Rob Luisana is a candidate for SCA President He has been
active for more than two years working to help the students He
was one of the leaders of last year s boycott to gam visitation in
the dorms, among other student-oriented activities For most of
this c.ii in- has wotked towards gaming student voting tights m
GreenviBe lb- t, hscs 'that students dtouid have t woke and be
able i nuko decisions on issues that affect them "
Some ot his ideas on issues are
CONSUMER PROTECTION The SGA will publish a list of
available apartments and houses whose owners have in the past
treated students fairly.
BOOKSTORE The exorbitant prices of the Student Book
Store have been tolerated by students long enough The SGA
should undertake the establishment of a co-opeiat . book store
run by and for the students.
STUDENT FEES: The spending of student fees should
become a primary issue The building of a new Student Union is
ridiculous in view of the shortage of funds in other more vital
areas.
LAWYER AND BAIL FUND "I will see to it that the SGA
completes the final steps necessary to secure the services of a full
time lawyer, available to the student body. The Greenville
ministry has established a bail fund I will try to make th-s fund
available to any student arrested downtown. '
OUT OF STATE TUITION The drastic increase in tuition for
out of state students will be challenged in court.
ENTERTAINMENT Free concerts on the Mall every second
Sunday afternoon (weather-permitting) could be easily arranged
by using local bluegrass and rock groups.
"If elected President. I intend to make the SGA more than a
poll-taking service. 1 will work vigorously on issues and take
definitive stands on controversial matters '
This is the person the student body needs as the SGA
President. Vote for Rob Luisana next Tuesday.
Mark Browne is a candidate for SGA Treasurer and is
concerned, as is Rob Luisana. that the School of Art. School of
Music, and Drama Departments finally be recognized as teal assets
to ECU and that priorities in university and student government
financing be changed to give the Fine Arts their deserved portion.
If elected, both Rob and Mark wdl attempt:
1 To divert at least 25 of the funds for athletic recruiting
for recruiting outstanding students for the Fine Arts programs
2. To provide SGA funds to make it possible to get a
renowned musician in residence
3. To have the SGA finance a rock band of students selected
from the School of Music to perform at university functions for
the students at no cost fo the students.
4. To convert the mam building of the old heating plant into
an art studio and an area for buildin g or storing theater sets.
Give Mark Browne the chance to help the Fine Arts at ECU.
Vote for him for treasurer on March 28 You owe it to yourself

This is an important letter. We can only hope you'll read past
the statistics to take in the message.
Kathy Holloman is running for SGA vice-president in
Tuesday's elections - one of the few women candidates for a
higher office in recent years. While Kathy is closely associated
with women's rights, she is interested primarUy in the rights of all
students of both sexes.
Kathy has had more than adequate experience in student
government, having served on the SGA Legislature, on the WRC
Court and on a number of committees in her two years at ECU.
As head of the Committee on the Status of Women, she has
attempted to investigate sex discrimination on campus, and has
encouraged women to take a more active part in student
government. In addition, she reorganized the WRC Court to fully
advise women of their legal rights prior to trial. Kathy has also
shown a strong interest in the welfare of the arts, and helped set
aside much needed funds for the arts on campus.
Those of us who have seen Kathy in action know more. We've
seen her at meetings, scrawling memos, camping out in the SGA
offices - and most often raising a little hell. At a time when many
people regard an SGA office as -nerely an attractive brownie
point to tack on transcripts. Kathy Holloman offers an opposing
view - based on a fair amount of sweat and perserverance.
The university is in desperate need of a new attitude in
student government, and Kathy Holloman promises to supply it.
Her record shows it. her plans show it, and you can make it work.

The SGA ejections are upon us once again. For some this is of
no consequence, for others, the candidates themselves, it is a time
of anticipation of the future. For those of us that are not
involved except by way of our vote, it should be a time of
reflection on the past and planning for the future.
The SGA is an active force on campus and it should be
represented by dynamic leaders. The SGA does have a certain bit
of power (i.e. influence upon the administration) and it should be
represented by capable leaders. The SGA can not act impusively
or it will be stepped on (i e. visitation last year) so it must be
represented by patient leaders. Naturally there are a great deal
more demands on the SGA also, which means that the leaders
must have various qualities to meet these demands.
It is now the urn tor each and ever) voter to studs the
candidates Wliat bat?e they done in the past1 What are theu
stands on the issues' What ate then plans tot the future0 Consider
all of these things, and also consider Has any candidate made ans
promises What kind of promises" Especially consider this
because this will tell you what type of person that candidate is If
a person makes rash promises which he will not be able to follow
through on. then he should not be considered a good prospect for
an SGA office.
As I am in the SGA legislature. I know just about all of the
candidates. Most of them would, in my opinion, be worthy office
holders. However. I believe that some would be better than
others. I have asked myself many questions consenting those
running and have formed my own opinions Personally, for
president I prefer Tommy Clay, the present president. ForVP
think the best prospect is Rick Atkinson (hy the way. you can
vote for one member of a coalition without voting for the other
members), and for Secretary, I am for the write-in candidate
Frieda Clark For treasurer 1 am in favor of Tim Wehner. the only
candidate I am actively supporting.
I think that more so than the rest, these candidates would
work for the SGA. the school, and most importantly, the
students. These are only my opinions, but they are based on a
knowledge of all the candidates, not just promises.
No matter who you are supporting, please vote on Tuesday.
March 28, and no matter who wins the students must support
that person fully if we are to move forward in the future.
