Democrats hold convention
The Young Democrats of North
Carolina held their annual convention
lust weekend and ended the session by
agreeing to back the ??entire Democrats
ticket m this year's elections
The delegation, primarily chosen by
the counties, consisted of representative!
from all urban counties and most of the
middle iize counties In the state Also
represented Were seventeen Colleges,
among those East Carolina.
John Powell, a Durham banker and
president of this year's organization
opened the session on Friday afternoon.
First to tpeak was John Ingram,
Democratic candidate for commissioner
of insurance. Ingram attacked the policy
of insurance companies "catagorizing"
drivers in an effort to make some groups,
particularly those under 24 and those
over 70. pay a much higher premium for
their coverage.
Among the other keynote speakers at
the convention were senatorial candidate
Nick Galifinakis, Lieutenant Governor
candidate Jim Hunt, gubenatorial
candidate Skipper" Bowles and one of
Alaska's liberal senators. Mike Gravel.
This year's Platform Committee came
up with and passed fairly liberal
proposals. One such was on abortion.
The committee chose to use the U'rm
"family planning but it remained on
record that the convention supported
some lessening of the abortion laws in
North Carolina. The main opposition to
the platform came from representative.
from the Catholic colleges. However, it
passed easily.
The delegates also came out with a
strong endorsement of no-fault insurance
and adopted a strong environmental
stand. It was agreed on this year to form
lobbies from the VDNC to act on items
pertaining to environmental laws in the
North Carolina Legislature.
During the convention, a motion came
up to -table the marijuana plank"
adopted during the last convention. At
that time, the convention adopted, due
mainly from pressure of a well-organized
college delegation, to go on record as
endorsing the ending of marijuana laws
in the state. This year's convention
passed by a vote of 433 to 85 the move
to table the plank. The effort was made
in an attempt to keep from hurting
Joyner offers Serials Catalog
The J. Y. Joyner Library of East
Carolina University has recently made
ava lable an automated Serialsatalog to
facilitate use of the Library's extensive
magazine, newspaper, and other serial
publications.
The new catalog lists all holdings in
these categories housed in Joyner
Library and the Health Affairs Library,
giving all necessary data for each title to
allow for speedy and efficient retrieval
of needed materials from the
bookstacks. Production of th( catalog
was a joint effort of the Joyner Serials
Department and the East Carolina
University Computing Center.
The new Serials Catalog is to be
updated monthly by computer, and
made available to users in a microform
format called microfiche. The entire list
of approximately 7,000 titles, requiring
896 computer-printout pages, is
contained on five pieces of 4" x 6"

Anderson to speak
Jack Anderson, noted political
syndicated columnist and
self-proclaimed "muckraker will be the
?ext guest on the years Lecture Series.
The firey and often controversial writer
will appear at 8:00 Monday night in
Wright Auditorium. His lecture will be
on the column that appears in some 700
newspapers across the country.
Anderson, who once was a Mormon
minister, earns his living in a most daring
and provocative style-by finding out
before anyone else about the corrupt
going-ons in the nations capital and
printing them in a witty, terse style for
his 40 million followers.
For his investigation and disclosure in
the American policy decision-making
during the Indo-Pakistani War, Anderson
was awarded the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for
National Reporting. Anderson also make
the disclosure of the famous ITT memo
of Dita Beard. Although not proven,
Anderson's columns on the heroin traffic
by Panamanian high officials and the
Tom Eagleton "drunk driving"
disclosure have been very effective in
changing the minds of millions
throughout the nation.
to enlarge the innate to us normal size.
At the present time, the catalog can
be consulted in three areas of the Joyner
Library and in the Health Affairs
Library. It is hoped that in the near
future, many academic departments will
be able to have the catalog available in
their office areas for convenient use by
the faculty.
Eugene Huguelet. Director of
Technical Services at Joyner Library,
said. "Electronic data processing and the
techniques of micromation are being
employed n many library systems to
enable librarians to provide better service
to users. At a cost somewhat lower than
the cost of the traditional manual
system, information can be made
available at various convenient locations
on the campus Also tlv possibility of
exchanging catalogs with other campuses
in North Carolina could lead to more
coope. ition and sharing of resources
senatorial candidate Nick Galifinakis.
Galifinakis has urged during his
campaigning that state officials take a
strong stand on the drug problem in
North Carolina, and that more resources
i)l ed al the disposal of law
enforcement officials to aid in
combating the problem. East Carolina's
delegation made up part of the 83

was noted that a majority of the

of the current law. pertaining to
marijuana.

Hugh Sidey kicks off this
year's Union Lecture Series
By PAT CRAWFORD
Sue .
Hugh Sidey. Washington Bureau Chief
of Time. Inc opened the ECU Lecture
Series Tuesday night with a disi
the American presidency.
Sidey began with random commi
concerning the presidency and the
present Nixon-McGovern rate. In this
campaign, he said. McGovem is
man running against a government
"Not Alexander the Great, or
Napoleon, or anyone has every possess
the power of the President of the United
States said Sidey "McGovern has a
tough go he runs against the
government, he runs against himself .and
he runs against so many currents in this
country
Sidey expressed disagreement with
those who claim that the men in the
White House are unable to greati.v affect
history.
"In 1964 he said. "Johnson said.
'I'm not about to send American boys to
fight Asian boys' battles " Americans
should have recognized Johnson's real
personality, and interpreted the
statement as. "I'm not going to lose this
war
"Try to understand these men
warned Sidey. "who they are, what their
mothers said to themI have a theory
that people who get into the White
House are not real people.
"They're geologic ormations with
their personality laid down like strata
over the years
Sidey reviewed presidential history as
iie saw it from Eisenhower to Nixon,
brimming over with anecdotes and
personal experiences
"Eisenhower wasn't interested in the
presidency and didn't want to get
involved in party or political matters.
"But he was sincere, he was honest,
and he was a good man in a real, classic
sens.
Sidey had visited Eisenhower in
Gettysburg shortly before the former
president's death.
"He was still amazed at how his
country had treated him " said Sidey
"He recalled being in a limousine, going
down Park Avenue in New
York Whenever the limousine stopped,
people would look m. smile and sav. "Hi,
7ke
"And Jke said. 'Now. how did they
know who I was?' "
According to Sidey. John Kennedy's
strong point was his sense of history.
"He read deeply, devouring books-he
had a great curiosity and an immensely
vigorous intelligence said Sidey.
Kennedy's ambition was to
communicate his sincerity to the people.
After his meeting with Khruschev. the
President was shaken.
"I've never met a man like that he
said. "When you talk about nuclear war
with anyone else, you will say. 'We have
to do something about this?you and I
And they will say. 'Yes. we will " With
Khruschev. he got only a cold stare.

Expectant couples offered parenthood course
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
SUtf Write'
Couples expecting a child can gain
insight into the experience by
participating in Preparation for
Parenthood courses. These courses are
offered through the East Carolina
Division of Continuing Education.
The classes which started on
September 20, are held from 7:00-9:00
p.m on Wednesday nights in room 209
of the Nursing building. This non-credit
class will run eight or nine sessions
depending upon how fast the class
moves.
These courses are designed for both
husband and wife desiring an
understanding of the maternity cycle,
the newborn and his care, while
establishing confidence in their new roles
as parents.
Mrs. Lona P. Ratcliffe, B S M.N and
Mrs. Therese Lawyer, B.S M.A are
directing and supervising the course.
They are both registered nurses and
teach in the school of nursing. The
actual instruction of the classes is done
by junior-level students in the Nursing
210 class
Mrs Ratcliffe explained, "We give the
students an outline of what we want
them to include in the lectures After
they have prepared the lecture, wt c ?
over it and edit it. The students first give
the lecture in the Nursing 210 class to
their peers as a trial run. These lectures
count 10 percent of their final grade "
The purposes of the classes themselves
is to promote skills in body mechanics as
an aid in labor and delivery, to convey
some familiarity with hospital routines
and procedures, and to furnish practical
information regarding the newborn and
his care.
According to Mrs. Ratcliffe. they
teach the mother what she can do with
discomforts during pregnancy Breathing
and relaxing exercises to help with labor
are stressed. "We teach them what kinds
of clothing and how much to get
Part of the program consists of a
fashion show of maternity and baby
clothes. "The mothers really enjoy this
Mrs. Ratcliffe commented.
This is the third year the course has
been offered. It is offered every quarter
during the regular year, but not during
the summer. The number of couples to
participate ranges from seven to
fourteen This time there are eight
couples.
The classes have had couples to
participate that are not expecting a
child, although it is usually couples that
are expecting their first child that come
A lot of women have come without their
husbands. "It's open to everybody. We
have not had any unwed nothers, but we
would be delighted to have anybody
Mrs Ratcliffe said.
One mother that had participated
commented. "The most helpful things
were discussions about childbirth and
the tour of the hospital. That helped to
relieve the fears of the mother. 1 also
enjoyed the people in the class. We made
new friends and have since compared
notes
A father said, "It was a very valuable
course. It has helped us to take good
care of the baby, especially safety-wise
The course will be taught winter
quarter, starting December 6, and spring
quarter, starting March 21. The cost is
$8.00 per person and $10.00 for
husband and wife. Interested persons

In offiee more than four years
"The country wa.s on the edge of a
nervous breakdown when he left
Johnson had learned politics by direct
experience with Franklin Roosevelt and
Sam Ray burn; he absorbed political
craftsmanship by osmosis
"He was an amazing, amazing man I
never laughed so hard or wepl so much
Sidey continued. He recalled worldwide
tours on which Johnson gave out busts
of himself to dignitaries including Pope
Tail I VI
"We learned that the entire hold of
Air Force () ie was filled with these busts
in three sizes small, medium and large.
He gave them out according to his
affection for the people
GADGET NUT
Johnson was a gadget nut and
surrounded himself with telephones. Six
floated m his Texas swimming pool;
another was developed with a 50-yard
cord which could be unrolled across a
lawn m ;io seconds. The cost was
$1,500.
"Richard Nixon is far more difficult
to assess said Sidey, "He has no past
like Johnson's.
"Nixon is mobile: he pursued power
and his job across the country to
California. New York and Washington
"He grew up m a society of merchants
and commercialism " said Sidey. "He's a
careful, organized lawyer, not
spectacular, not wedded to' any one
thing He lives by Ins wits "
Sidey gave as examples of Nixon's
changeableness Ins original opposition to
Red China and price controls.
He's hard to judge he moves as he
sees fit. He's not a great scholar; he
doesn't read that much; he's left no
marks in the White House and his Oval
Office is rather sterile.
"He doesn't like to meet people, eat
bad chicken dinners, or drink with
Wilbur Mills until 5 a.m He's rather be
up there with Henry Kissinger, discussing
the world
UNEXPECTED SHOCK
Sidey's experience in Red China was a
complete and unexpected shock.
"There was absolute silence he said,
"no crowds, no traffic, just a hand that
played nicely and fell silent. We never
heard another airplane unless it was one
of ours
One disturbing part was Nixon's
one-hour meeting with Mao Tse-Tung.
"Nixon spent one hour with Mao, of
which 30 minutes was spent
translating he came 16,000 miles and
spent $30 million for that.
"As Henry Kissinger said, it was like
being in the presence of a god
Before leaving Peking, Sidey
interviewed a Chinese editor. "I asked
him, 'What do you want out of this life?'
and he said, 'Nothing I'm happy now
The man had no ambitions to own a
car or be promoted. Sidey finally
insisted that the man must have some
beliefs "Do you believe in God?" he
asked.
"I ha e no beliefs answered the
man. "That is over with; there is no God.
All I want to do is serve Mao and serve
the people
According to Sidey, Russia -with its
traffic jams, champagne, and hard
political bar gaining was more
understandable than China m many
ways.
"They are more our kind of people
he said.
In a questions and answer period
following the lecture. Sidey claimed
there was no reason why a won-an
should not be president. "There are a
goodly number of highly talented
women in politics he said.
The major interest of the audience
seemed to be QeOTge McGovern and his
chances in the November race.
Quoting one source, Sidey said
"McGovern correctly senses unrest n
America, but the facts are wrong. Major
unrest was against breaking the law
riots, desertion not against the war or
Nixon's actions on the war, amnesty or
inflation
Sidey claimed McGovern is sincere,
"maybe too sincere, and deeply
compassionate. He uses government as
an instrument to help people, plan cities
be pervasive, help redistribute wealth
FUNDAMENTAL CONFLICT
"This is his fundamental philosophical
conflict with Mr. Nixon; McGovern is a
Methodist Nixon as a Quaker is morp
inward, and believes that if you take care
of yourself, your neighbor will take care
of himself
Sidey added that Ted Kennedy will
have no choice but to run in 197fi and
commented humorously on Nixon's
refusal to accept findings favorable to
marijuana legalization.
"It's his own mind sidey said,
"Nixon doesn't like to be caught with
his coat off, likes one-line gags and eats
his wheaties in the morning. "
Summing up his opinions on the
Presidency, Sidey warned against placing
a weak man in office
"Part of the Presidency is that you've
got to run it you can't let it run you.
"It isn't a thing for a weak man the
bureaucracy is getting more and more
unmanageable. That's why Henry
Kissinger's so important they've just
about given up on the Stab' Department,
because it doesn't work the way it ought
to.

Sailing is a sport thought by many to be a rich man's
pastime.
However, it is gaining popularity rapidly in this
country,and it doesn't necessarily cost an arm and a leg.
One can obtain a new boat for anywhere between $120
to $70,000.
When one masters the art of sailing, he has a feeling
he can never experience with a power dual One must
know how to sail the boat, rather than drive it, and it
gives a feeling of accomplishment.
MUCH FUN AND ADVENTURE
There is much fun and adventure in sailing in
protected waters, such as lakes, ponds, and other calm
bodies of water. The water is smooth, the wind i
usually good, and if the boat turns over, it makes little
difference. Modern sailboats are unsinkable and easy to
right, and half the fun is going swimming anywa
Of course, there are other ways to enjoy a nev boat
Competition in sailboat races may not be U fast as
automobile racing, but it is just as exciting and every bit
as competitive. Besides, it's cheaper and sain
GOOD WAY TO IMPRESS
Also, what better way to impress that new girlfriend
than an afternoon battling the elements, just a man's
skill and bravery ag.i ? the forces of nature
Also, it's not ver, 'iard to learn how to sail a small
sailboat. I learned i ,ugh to get a boat underway and
back in about threi rips. Each trip gradually increases
one's skill.
So. why not ge ll d-ted? One never has a need fur gas
or oil, or costly engii e repairs.
Just earn life f eservers as required by the Coast
Guard, and find sot ieone who knows what he't doing to
teach you how t tail.

Friday afternoon for a
Saturday encounter with
the Citadel Bulldogs.
ECU will be looking to
avenge an opening day loss
to UNC which came about
Monday, and the Bucs are
hoping for their first win
in the season play.
Despite the loss, coach
John Lovstedt was pleased
with the performance of
the team Monday, and he
noted a definite potential
for the booters to excel in
their remaining contests.
The kickers have great
talent this year and appear
stable at every position.
Co-captains Rick
Lindsay and Bob Poser
feel the hooters were more
rallied by their opening
loss.
"UNC converted on a
couple of rather cheap,
lucky goals and the
contest was much closer
than the score might
indicate Lindsay said.
"UNC is one of the
toughest teams we'll play
all year. We are a vastly
improved team from a
year ago. and our
opponents will most
definitely regret but
respect this fact
After the hopeful rout
of the Citadel Saturday,
the booters will host
UNC-Wilmington
Wednesday alernoon,
then be on the road again
the following Saturday to
battle the Keydets of VM1.

Administration guilty of negligence
Monday's .isvmli on a female l l

I Ik' majority it these assaults have
occurred along a stretch of railroad track
that runs from main campus to the
vicinity ol Minges Coliseum i"he
majority ol these assaults have occurred
m daylight At least three assaults were
reported last year in that same .irc.i
It is quite easy for the campus
authorities to askWhy do people still
walk through there?" Ii is equally easy
for students to demandWhere were the
police?"
The fault for the situation lies with
neither police nor students. The hl.miL'
should be laid squarely at the tot of
those who designed the campus in such a
haphazard mannei

been built on main campus The Allied
Health building could have been
constructed on property the University
ow is at 5th and Reade streets, adjacent
to the mam campus and near downtown.
In as much as the poor layout of the
campus is directly re la ted to the
increasing number of assaults, those who
are responsible for placing Minges and
llicil Health in th.ir present locations
arc guilty of criminal negligence
What can be done The SGA transit

have to find their own way.

we will probably have to wait until the

Dull accusatory' doubletalk lashes
continuously from the tongue of every
partisan nitwit in the land, this writer
not an exception, during the mad, mad
scramble of election year politics. The
repetitious rhetoric flying through the
air has become timeworn to such a
degree that one might easily be led to
believe that it flows forth from a
perpetual motion Xerox machine. The
phraseology and sloganology have
become boringly trite. Creativity and
humor are nowhere to be found in the
literary facet of politics. And yet, every
layman, journalist and politician in
America still feels swept up by the need
to add his own individual bit of morbid
commentary to that overabundant heep
already in existence.
And so, be ye forewarned that my
time of necessity has come to contribute
a few words of my own opinionated
commentary. Mind you, the following
commentary is not morbid, however. It
is written from an unusual perspective in
the hope that, perhaps, it will not be
judged trite.

Since the big race began, Nixon has
managed to open a comfortable lead,
despite an unexpected pitstop at the
Watergate. McGovern. however, was
confronted with much more serious
mechanical problems right from the
beginning. His car wouldn't start when
the green flag went down. It was
discovered that Richard Daley and
George Meany had stolen the battery.
Then, on the very first lap, a tire went
flat. Tom Eagleton, the mechanic who
installed the tire, later admitted that it
was faulty to begin with. A few laps
later. McGovern temporarily lost control
of his vehicle when Frank Mankewiecz
grabbed the steering wheel from the
back seat. Unfortunately. Larry O'Brien
was run over as the car skidded. The
troubles were not over, however,
McGovern pitted while O'Brien's remains
were being removed from the tracks,
only to find that both members of his
pit crew, Windshield Washer Ramsey
Clark and Waterbay Pierre Salinger, were
gone. It was later learned they had cut
out for Hanoi and Paris, respectively.
With half the race completed,
McGovern must keep his foot in the

To Fountainhead:
I think it is about time for the staff of
Fountainhead to reveal its secret. How
one small group of people can
consistently turn out 4-6 pages of either
hilariously funny or ridiculously absurd
material is beyond me.
The poorly written stories are funny
enough, but the eye-straining layoiyis
enough to make one read the "Daily
Reflector
Ginger Davis, in her Goose Creek
review, has convinced me that she is the
wittiest person to hit journalism since
Clifford Irving. Imagine calling the
Waldorf Astoria as the "Waldorf
Historia" in print?a true stroke of
genius. Her perception is also
phenominal. Claiming that 9,000 people
attended the concert when the correct
figure was closer to 2,800 is the mark of
a perceptive reporter.
I sincerely hope that the staff keeps
up this truly remarkable work. Where
else will I be able to get so many laughs
so easily.
Thank you

P.S. Try not to botch up this letter.
Stop the bullshit !
To Fountainhead:
It has been a shameful bio the
records of both the student leaueis and
administrators who in the past have
promised and proposed, but done
nothing about constructing a paved,
lighted walkway between main campus
and Minges Coliseum. This blot grows
larger with each incident of assault and
rape that happens in that area.
The administration, the Sga,
somebody should replace that railroad
track between Umstead and Minges with
a widely-cleared, paved, well lighted
sidewalk. Another one should be built
between Minges and the Hill. These
walks should have a policeman on patrol
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It's time for the leaders of this
university to stop their endless bullshit
and do something.
Robert D Barbour
Has own problem
To Fountainhead:
Although I try not to get too involved
in letter writing in response to news
articles and editorials, I would like to
make an exception as regards your
articles on the parking problems at ECU.
First of all, I agree that there is not
any good excuse for the problems which
we have here. I see no real resolution to
the problem, however, by making
parking available on a first come-first
served basis. Admittedly, faculty
members should be allowed reserved
parking areas since they have obligations
to numbers of students. It isn't quite
right for a faculty member to have to
run around fighting for a parking place
while his students are sitting in the
classroom waiting for him.
So you might say that faculty
members should not be arriving at the
last minute. Perhaps not. But they also
have off-cam pus business on occasion
which might make them a little late.
Staff parking is quite another
question. Certainly, departmental staff
members should be afforded parking
spaces. But I wonder why every single
staff member from the chancellor to the
custodial and cafeteria worker should be
allowed to park in reserved areas. To my
way of thinking, staff parking areas
should be designated for use by those
faculty and staff members whose
obligation is to the academic function of
the university is the greatest.
Just a short point about those of us
who are caught in the middle: the
graduate assistant. I have been here as a
teaching assistant for more than a year.
And for that period of time, I have had
to fight for parking space along with the
rest of the students. Granted, when I am
meeting a course for which I am
receiving credit, I can fight along with
everyone else. But what about the hours
when 1 must meet my Freshman
Composition students? The N.C. General
Assembly, in its infinite wisdom, has
deemed junior instructors employees of
the university. I have always understood
that "employee" and "staff member"
are pretty much synonymous.
Apparently, it is not so when it comes to
parking privileges.
Student parking is at a premium.
Traffic is trying to help by prohibiting
students "within walking distance" from
obtaining stickers. But what about those
who use the unpaved parking area in
front of Austin? I don't know when or if
the area will be paved and marked. In
the meantime, are students using the
facility to its greatest advantage? Hardly.
One has only to ride through the lot
to see how unthinkingly students space
their cars out. If they would only guage
floor to maintain any chance of
overtaking Nixon. And then there's
always the chance that more "bugs"
might hinder Nixon's engine
performance. On the other hand,
though, McGovern appears to beYes,
yes, he didHe just had another flat
tire!
Senator George McGovern proved his
ability to drive a political vehicle months
ago when he sped past his slower
opponents in the California and New
York trial runs. Backs by an energetic pit
crew, he won a gold star for his agile
maneuverability on the dirt tracks of the
primaries. To culminate his swift rise to
glory, the steering wheel of the all-new
1972 Democratic Machine was turned
over to him by the Democratic National
Convention.
He was no longer racing on the back
roads of California and New York,
however, Instead, he was pulling his
experimental vehicle up to the starting
line of a superspeedway. His opponent,
Richard Nixon, was in the pole position.
The race for the Presidential Roses was
about to begin.

their spacing, they might just be allowing
another car some room. One day last
week at 8:00 a.m I found no room in
the lot to park my VW when I was
enroute to meet my freshmen. One guy
was parked nearly diagonally in the lot,
covering a space ample enough to handle
both my car and his with room left over.
When I asked him to move, he said. "I
don't think so
What did the campus security office
do? Nothing. 1 phoned them explained
the situation and asked that they send
someone over to have a look. They

for my understanding rather than my
griping at them and promised to send
someone right away. Did anyone every

didn't expect them to.
I need not summarize my solution to
the problem there really isn't one. I
could, however, ask again for a couple of
things: pave and mark the Austin lot;
until such time, you students who use it,
remember that others do, too; campus
police, please do something to
reasonably enforce some sort of sensible
parking method since there are no lines
to mark the spaces in that lot.
The parking situation is not going to
get much better very soon. The least we
all can do is make the best use of the
facilities we have until they do improve.
