Prefer en tial b a Ho t:
Is it the best way?
By RICHARD DROGOS
Staff Writer
Is the preferential ballot really thebest
way to decide an election where more than
two people are running for an office?
Last Thursday, approximately 30
percent of East Carolina's student body
voted on officers for the SGA. In the
vice-presidential race, three people were
running and once again the preferential
ballot was used.
The preferential ballot gives the voter
the opportunity to put his second and third
choice down and still vote for his favorite
candidate In the event of a close race, the
votes are recounted with the second and
third choice having much to do with the
outcome of the election.
In last week's election, the number of
first place votes between Cindy Domme
and Tom Clare were close enough to have a
re-count. The re-count showed that the
majority of second piace votes went to
Miss Domme and with them the
vice-presidency. Had not the preferential
been used then a run off would have been
called for. which means lots of time, effort
and filigent work for a number of ECU
students.
Yvonne Martindale, SGA Elections
Committee chairman, said that there were
several ways of using a preferential ballot
but she felt that the instructions on the
ballot were easy enough for anyone to
follow. She could not find any law in the
SGA's constitution that has a guideline to
follow for the use of a preferential ballot
although she hopes that some type of
format will be put there soon.
A new outlook
"Students ought to realize the purpose
of the preferential ballot and know more
about it, then they could vote correctly
Martindale stated.
Although the students who voted
incorrectly were a small minority they still
caused problems for the Elections
Committee. "If a person marked a ballot
for his first choice only, we would count
it Martindale said, "but we had some
people who would mark only their second
choice and not a first or third. When we
received a ballot like that we could not
count it
Miss Martindale did say. however, that
all three candidates benefitted from the
preferential ballot because they picked up
more votes. She explained that students
don't really take the time to vote in a run
off and that a preferential ballot eliminates
the necessity of one. She was pleased at
the turnout of the students, which was
supposed to be one of the biggest turnouts
in years.
Fountainhead asked Tom Clare, Cindy
Domme and Gil Hendrix, the three
candidates, how they felt about the use of
the preferential ballot and whether or not
they thought it was fair.
Cindy Domme, the vice-president elect,
stated that if the Elections Committee was
going to use a preferential ballot, they
should have known how to count it. She
was referring to the delay of the
announcement of the winner. Domme felt
that an explanation of the preferential was
needed before the election.
"The waiting around for the
announcement nearly killed Tom and I. I

Hobgood plans Union change
By BROWNIE WILSON
Staff Writer
Change is the theme that has governed
plans for the new committees of the
1974-75 Student Union according to Wade
Hobgood, in-coming president of the
union.
"There is a great need for a new outlook
and fresh approach to the activities of
committees in the union for next year
stated Hobgood.
Among the changes will be the
of the Popular Entertainment Committee
and the creation of three new committees.
Video Tape, Art Exhibition and Travel
Committees.
The Popular Entertainment Committee
will become the Major Attractions
Committee. Its purpose will, as the name
suggests, be to schedule and provide the
student body with major entertainment.
The trend would be towards fewer but
bigger concerts on campus.
"I don't anticipate more than five
concerts for next year said Hobgood,
"but these would be very good ones, I'm
referring to people like John Denver, Joni
Mitchel, Carly Simon and possibly the
Doobie Brothers
Hobgood said that this change was
because of his policy of trying to bring to
m
m
the campus events that the students would
support. He feels that there were too
many things this year that were not backed
enough by the students to justify their
continuation next year.
"I want the support of the students and
I will do my best to follow their wishes,
this is why I have made these changes
said Hobgood.
Another change is the formation of the
new committees. They are still in the
organizational stage and will go into
operation when the union moves into its
new facility. The new building will be
ready for the public use the first day of
summer school.
The Video Tape Committee will give the
students a chance to see special events
recorded on tape and telecase in the
union. Hobgood named such events as
sports, concerts, lectures and special
news to be taped and shown to everyone.
The Travel Committee will co-ordinate
and publicize trips with locations and
travel arrangements. These trips would be
on group rates and offer to the student a
cheaper way to travel.
The Art Exhibition Committee will
organize and present art shows to the
campus community. Hobgood said that
there will be an excellent area for
exhibitions in the new union. The
I IP�IH IHWfll
committee will also help with arts and
crafts workshops for students.
"I think that the Video Tape and Art
Exhibition Committees will be very
effective because there is so much that can
be done in these areas for not much
money commented Hobgood.
Mendenhall Student Center, the name
of the new union, will officially open fall
quarter of 1974. However the facility will
be open this summer. Hobgood said plans
are underway for the grand opening with
committees working together around a
central plan. Lectures, films, entertain-
ment and other events will highlight the
grand opening.
"At this moment we are discussing
working with a 1950's theme for the
opening said Hobgood.
The new union President also feels that
the outlook is good for next year and that
the student union will offer what the
students want and need.
"I've tried to knock out some of the
things that were not backed by the
students this year in hopes of having a
more effective union next year said
Hobgood, "I want to follow the students
wishes and bring to them what they want
"However, next year I hope that if a
student wants something, they will
support it
New
work
schedule
East Carolina University will observe an
official 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. work
schedule, Monday through Friday,
effective April 1
ECU'S workday hours traditionally have
been 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday. The change means that the
university offices will close and most
employees leave the campus at 4:30 p.m.
nstead of 5 o'clock. The change will
affect approximately 500 ECU employees
and have a corresponding effect upon
Greenville and area households, busi-
nesses and traffic.
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, ECU Chancellor,
issued a directive Friday announcing the
new work schedule which he said reflects
the desire of a majority of ECU employees
now working the 8 to 5 schedule. "The
University will implement this new
schedule on a trial basis for five months
extending through August 31, 1974
Jenkins said. "If unforeseen problems
occue, consideration will be given to revert
to the previous schedule
All ECU employees affected by the
change will be expected to limit their lunch
period to thirty minutes instead of one
iour. ECU officials said the reduced lunch
period allowed under the new schedule
would reduce driving and thus aid in the
present energy crisis

Price of gold rises,
class rings are high
ByJIMDODSON
Staff Writer
The one thing there doesn't seem to be
any shortages of these days isshort-
ages.
To be sure, we've grown accustomed to
the familiar annoyance of gas lines, and
getting up two or three hours earlier to wait
our turn. We've turned our thermostats
down a few degrees and donned sweaters
and coats around the house .all in the
name of the energy shortage.
Here on the college campus, the
students themselves have made sacrifices
to conserve, right along with the remainder
of the population, and have accepted
circumstances with somewhat of an air of
adventure. For the most part, internation-
al conditions have remained rather
insignificant in the day-to-day routine of
the average collegian, yet in recent weeks
a number of students have found
themselves directly confronted with a
crisis of international proportions, that is,
the price of goldand the subsequent
rise in the price of the cherished class ring.
This week a number of complaints were
received from irate juniors regarding the
current cost of class rings. Many students
contend that there should have been some
sort of announcement regarding prices,
and that they were not made as not to
damage ring sales. Others, feel that the
SGA has a responsibility to the student to
see that the situation does not get out of
Bodenhamer �
to attend D.C.
symposium
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer has
been asked by ECU Chancellor Leo
Jenkins to participate in the Fifth Annual
National Student Symposium on the
Presidency. Bodenhamer will be one of
200 students representing colleges and
universities of the U.S.
This year's symposium will convene
the weekend of March 29-31 at the new
Sheraton Inn & International Conference
Center at Reston, Va. The theme of the
symposium is "The People, The Congress,
and The Presidency Scholars, leaders of
the Congress, and White House
representatives of Cabinet rank will
participate. These include Vice President
Gerald Ford; Pesidential Counsellors
Anne Armstrong, Bryce Harlow, and
Melvin Laird; Senators Sam Ervin, Howard
Baker, Barry Goldwater, and Henry
Jackson, Lt. General Daniel James; TV
commentator Howard K. Smith; and
former Presidential Press Secretaries
James Hagerty and George Reedy.
The symposium will include Round
Table discussions concerning Congress,
National Security Policy and the
Presidency, as well as a tour of
Washington, D.C. and a reception at the
White House.
The annual national student sympos-
ium is sponsored by the Center for the
Study of the Presidency which is devoted
to the study of the Office of the President
of the United States in a historical and
projective view.
hand. Unfortunately, the only involvement
the SGA has with the rings is in the form of
a written contract with an independent
firm, Star Engraving Company, of Houston
Texas.
Larry Evans, a student at ECU, is
employed as a representative of Star
Engraving, and sells the rings in the
Student Union. Evans contends that the
price of school rings is directly related,
and contingent upon the current gold
situation on the international market.
He added that the price of gold has
been steadily on the increase for the past
six months. Pointing out that the current
price is $82.00 an ounce as compared to
$43.00 an ounce last year. Evans added,
"The current level is almost four times
greater than Jast year, yet the price of the
rings has only doubled. We have to raise
or lower prices according to the
international gold prices
This week some men's rings have gone
up as much as $45.00 dollars, and some
women's as much as $25.00. Covering
such additional cost can be a difficult and
sometimes impossible task for a student
paying his or her own way through school.
Evans said that each week he receives a
statement from the company that informs
him of current price levels. Does this
mean that the prices may decrease in
future days?
"Possibly Evans replied, "it just
depends on the international scene. For
example, just this week alone, the
company informed me of a ten dollar
decline in the price of gold. That means I
can cut the price of men's rings as much as
$6.50, and women's as much as $4.75. Of
course, that applies for this week only,
next week the price might go up again
If the price of gold remains at its
current value those of us on the campus
may see the end of another prized
tradition .that of the class ring. As one
coed summed it up, "Pretty soon rings are
gonna cost more than tuition Another
student who had already purchased his
before the increase, looked at his ring and
sighed, "Hey, maybe I ought to pawn it
while the price is high I need the money
to cover the price of groceries these days

Bernstein's 'Mass'
presented here
The East Carolina University Playhouse
and School of Music will produce Leonard
Bernstein's MASS at McGinnis Auditorium
from March 27 through March 30 at 8:15.
Called by Bernstein "a theatre piece for
singers, players and dancers" MASS has a
great visceral appeal which is electrified by
an original theatrical form and a musical
inventiveness that never flags. There is
hardly a musical idiom that is not present,
from the sacred to the profane, from
anthems and hymns, including a beautiful
new setting of the Lord's Prayer, to opera,
gospel, rock, blues and jazz, from
evocations of medieval plainsong to
twelve-tone rows.
The role of the Celebrant will be sung
by John Russell of Philadelphia. Mr.
Russell won the Lauritz Melchoir
Competition in 1969 as well as a
scholarship to the Julliard School of
Music. He has sung in several operas in
this country and in England.
Ron Lake of Sunnyvale, California will
sing the boy soprano role. Ron was
selected to sing the lead boy soprano part
in the American delegation to the
International Choir Festival, held in The
Hague, Netherlands in 1973.
MASS has a large cast with two
choruses, two choirs, and many dancers;
all of it adding up to a celebration of the
troubled human spirit in or out of formal
religion.
Edgar Loessin will direct MASS with
Masvis Ray choreographic the dance
numbers. Robert Hause is the conductor
and musical director and Charles More is
the associate musical director.
Tickets for faculty, staff, and the public
are on sale at the McGinnis box office for
$2.50 each. Students can pick up tickets
free with their ID and activity cards.

Ballots

really didn't think it was fair for me to vote
for a second choice because what I would
be doing is voting against myself she
explained.
Gil Hendrix expressed similar views,
saying that some people marked only once
because they had never seen one and didnt
know what it was for. He felt that people
in a hurry did not pay any attention to the
notes on the side of a ballot.
Tom Clare seemed more understanding
and said that the student could not be
urged that easily to vote in a run-off. "It's
the best method we have at the present
time and the way it stands now, I came out
better because of the preferential
ballot " He observed that some students
have rather a difficult time in picking a first
choice and must less a second and third
choice.
The preferential ballot as Clare put it is
"the best thing we have right now If Miss
Martindale's suggestion of getting a
guideline to follow ts heeded by the new
SGA officers and members of the SGA
then perhaps it will become a common-
place thing on future ballots here at East
Carolina.

MOVIES
By JOHN EVANS
Staff Writer
"PAPILLON"
"Papillon" is billed as one of the most
exciting adventures of escape that has ever
been filmed. This movie billing is
somewhat exaggerated despite the content
of the movie.
The plot revolves around the escape
attempts by a prisoner from the penal
colony of French Guyana. These attempts
are less than exciting, as well as futile, and
they prove to be a bit redundant in their
consequental outcomes.
The movie's strengths lie in the acting
of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman in
the major roles, and the portrayal it makes
of now extinct French penal colonies.
McQueen is cast as the film's hero,
"Papillon His portrayal of the character
is excellent - a believable ragged,
maligned, yet never broken convict
yearning for freedom.
Hoffman is his always funny and
impressionistic self as the imprisoned
bond counterfeiter, Dega, who employs
Papillon to protect him from the prison
inmates and guards. In return for this
service he promises to provide the funds to
finance any escape plans Papillon may
wish to undertake.
Directed by Franklin Schaffner, and
based on the autobiographical novel by
Henri Charriere, the film is as long as the
book. Most of the film's two and a half
hours seem to drag alone. The first half of
the film is devoted to portraying the
horrors,impersonalness, and blood-letting
which were characteristic of the penal
system. The lengthiness of the film does
emphasize this point of view. Once
Papillon's escape attempts begin, the
audience has already been worn out by the
events which led up to these attempts.
The development, or deterioration of
the character Papillon is excellently
managed by the make-up artist in
transforming McQueen from the young
and high-spirited man of the world at the
movie onset to the prematurely aged,
irrational, almost senile old man who
makes the final attempt to escape.
Papillon's final escape attempt from
Devil's Island is dealt with somewhat
helplessly, yet meanfully. Those who have
read the novel know the outcome.
Be prepared to sit through this film
patiently. The film will bore the viewer in
places, but is neve, heless entertaining. It
will certainly test the viewer's endurance
level.
"Papillon" will be playing at the Park
Theatre until April 2.

21. Playing with extreme grace as well as
impeccable precision, he thrilled the
audience for an hour and a half with his
outstanding style.
He performed eighteen pieces
including six pieces by the Englishman
John Dowland, two Byzantine Etudes by
John Boda, and Two Pravanes by Luis
Milan. Particularly impressive were "Var-
iations on a Theme by Mozart by
Ferdinand Sor "Leyenda by AI ben iz, and
the encore song which was Abril's
impression of sol-Cuban-peasant, three
chord variation songs.
Studying under Julian Bream, English
virtuoso, Abril first learned the intricacies
of classical guitar. Later he studied at
University of Albequerque, New Mexico
and then at Florida State University where
he received his PhD in Music Theory.
Dr. Mario Abril appeared at ECU in
connection with the 1974 Latin American
Symposium .Formerly a faculty member
at Florida State University, he is now on
the faculty of University of Tennessee.
East Carolina students were very fortunate
in seeing such a fine guitarist in concert.

CHICAGO SEVEN: CHICAGO
Columbia C2 32810
Chicago has ended a long period of
inactivity with the release of their new
album, which is predictably entitle
"Chicago Seven At this point it would
perhaps be better to leave mention of this
record at this mere recognition, but the
popularity and drawing power of the group
requires a further evaluation.
The lavish two-disc package will surely
catch the attraction of the group's many
serious fans simply by its presence in the
record racks. The truth is that the group
has not expounded on their musical
capabilities in the nine month period since
they released their last album. There are a
few good rock ballads which will bring
some singles action, but the majority of
the album possesses a vast selection of
emptiness.
'Searchin' So Long' seems to be the
best of the singles-styled cuts and has
already been released by Columbia as the
group's new 45. The cut 'Happy Man' is
another such cut, exhibiting the sound and
style which made earlier Chicago ballads
successful. 'Song of the Evergreens' is a
traditionally styled Chicago produce which
is well performed. Pete Cetera sings lead
vocal on each of these cuts and this seems
to be the reason for the superiority of these
tunes to other cuts on the album.

On two cuts the group employs outside
help from two other pop groups. On
'Wishing You Were Here' the vocal
accompaniment of Beach Boys' Al Jardin,
Carl Wilson, and Dennis Wilson blends
nicely with the Chicago sound to result in
a unique combination of the two groups'
styles. The Pointer Sisters accompany the
group on 'Skinny Boy Their vocal
inclusion on this cut neither hinders or
aids a relatively week piece.
Two principle faults crop up on the
album. The album still possesses the
musical gaps which seem unavoidable
whenever the group decides on a multiple
disc format. They make an honest effort at
filling these gaps with several jazz flavored
arrangements, but never quite succeed in
this endeavor. 'Devil's Sweet' is the soul
cut which approaches any resemblence of
the normally high quality Chicago jazz
piece. The use of the ARP Synthesizer on
'Italian from New York' is done well and is
the only new concept the group employs
effectively.
As musicians the group has always
carried a tag of excellence and Cetera's
vocals are acceptable. The problem
results from the fact that the group has
made no progress in either aspect since
tber four record extravaganza, "Live at
Carnegie Hall They have had three big
singles; 'Just You N' Me 'Feeling
Stronger Everyday and 'Saturday In the
Park' since that time, but lone of these
approached the magnitude of excellence
that 'Beginr;ngs 'Colour My World and
'25 or 6 to 4" possessed. The only cut
approaching these hits on this album is
the previously mentioned 'Happy Man
The group seems to have tried to move
with the times in their musical
presentation but have been unable to do so
effectively. This album will undoubtedly
sell well. This will be more as a result of
the group's past successes than a result of
their current work.
The album is not a total failure, but,
considering the group's past excellence,
"Chicago Seven" is the poorest and most
disappointing album the group has
recorded. Hopefully, in the future, this
fine group will do better.

The Spinners have produced three gold
singles and one gold album in a two year

with two successive gold singles which
included their million selling single,

The Union
The old Student Union building is in its last year, with the Mendenhall Student Center
scheduled to open summer-through-fall. With the change in location comes a change in
the Student Union organization To those of us who notice such things, it seems that
every organization pertaining to students boasts of a bigger and better change every year,
tearing the old structure apart and either dismembering it or (in the SGA case)
overmembering it.
However, in the Union case, reorganization has meant improvement. In the days
before the Union stepped up and received independence from the SGA, the Union
financed primarily small-time events; after the change, the Union actually became an
organization rather than a thumbnail paring of the SGA. Regardless of gripes made this
year about concerts, the Union has a) bettered itself, and b) acquired potential.
And so we are encouraged by Union President-elect Wade Hobgood's plan for Major
Attractions, Art Exhibition and Travel committees that will do more than schedule bridge
tournaments. Hobgood's plans seem to be on a suitably large scale for a large-budgeted
organization, and actually seem angled toward something big, interesting and capable of
elevating the Union above the level of ice-cream bingo games. We don't slight the
Union's work this year, and have discerned major improvements in the Union operations -
but Hobgood's plans, if as good in function as they are in planning, add expensive
thinking to the already-improved efficiency of the Union.
Perhaps next fall will be better than we think. Between Hobgood's education in
student wishes via flak about concerts, and SGA President-elect Bob Lucas' education in
what not to do, via the Bodenhamer SGA, 1974-75 may be worth living. We'll hold off on
predictions until May.

Secret Service defense
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - The Secret Service
is preparing secret defenses to prevent a
maniac from crashing a plane into the
White House. The threat from the sky is a
new and ominous development.
First, a Fort Meade, Md serviceman
who washed out of flight school,
absconded with a helicopter and headed
toward the White House. Secret Service
officers feared he was going to crash into
the executive mansion. Instead, he landed
on the White House lawn in a hail of
shotgun fire.
Then an unemployed Philadelphia
salesman, Sam Byck, attempted to hijack
an airliner in Baltimore. Only later did the
world learn, from a tape recording Byck
sent me, that he had planned to crash the
big jet into the White House.
This combination of events sent the
Secret Service scurrying to devise some
means of protecting the President from
Kamikaze missions. One proposal was to
arm the White House police with "Red
Eye" missiles. These are anti-aircraft
weapons which can be fired from the
shoulder, heat-seeking missiles which
would zip off the tail pipe of an oncoming
plane.
Contrary to press reports, the Secret
Service has rejected this solution. For
"Red Eye" missiles might miss the target
and zoom up the tail pipe of a commercial
jet landing at Washington's nearby
National airport. The missiles might even
destroy jets warming up on the landing
strip.
The Secret Service, therefore, has now
adopted a different sophisticated defense
which, for the sake of the President's
security, should not be described.

NUNABB2-ONE VSAC IS TO

SITUATION IS ONE OF
6EEAT UNGEfcttWTYo.
Nixon Blew It: Saudi Arabia is ncn
enough in oil that it alone could have
broken the back of the Arab oil embargo
long ago. King Faisal might even have
been willing to resume shipments of oil to
the United States unilaterally. But
President Nixon, eager to offer some good
news to a Watergate-weary nation,
embarrassed Faisal by predicting the end
of the embargo prematurely.
Last December, Oil Minister Ahmed
Zaki Yamani, with the king's concurrence,
promised that Saudi Arabia would do all it
could to end the oil embargo. But U.S.
Ambassador James Akins cabled from
Saudi Arabia that the offer must be kept
strictly secret for the sake of Saudi
relations with militant Arab neighbors. I
saw the exchange of secret messages
during my recent visit to the Middle East.
But the President ignored Akins'
warning and predicted an early end to the
boycott. The Arab world knew that the
President could have gotten this word only
from Saudi Arabia. It made King Faisal
look as if he were playing Washington's
game and reduced his effectiveness in
urging moderation upon the Arab
militants.
The king, therefore, felt he could no
longer push for ending the embargo,
without appearing to be a lackey of the
United States. As a result, he soft-pedaled
his efforts to end the embargo and the
militants for a while, got the upper hand
inside the Arab oil meetings. King Faisal,
rather than jeopardize his position in the
Arab world, does not want to take
unilateral action to life the boycott.
Tax Tactics: Many Americans, ap-
parently, are determined to pay less taxes
this year. They figure that if President
Nixon can get away with paying negligible
taxes on a $250,000 annual income, they
are going to do the same.

To Fountainhead:
A shade over twenty-one years ago I
came into this world as we all do-as an
innocent, naive, uncomprehending babe-
in-arms. I glanced and (ga-ga) the place
looked pretty good. People were nice and
they always seemed to smile when they
approached. "Hot damn I thought, "this
is gonna be great Well, I grew and the
world grew; and I grew some more the
world grew some more; and I changed and
the world changed. But the changes that I
underwent were, so I thought, for the
better. True, I acquired some habits that
were probably irritating to a few folks, but I
did not do so intentionally.
What I tried to do was keep in mind the
fact that people had always smiled at me
when I was younger, and so I figured (since
Il had liked it so much) that I would devote
Imy life to smiling back, and, in general,
'just trying to be a nice guy to nice
people. And I figured everybody else felt
the same way, so "Hot damn again, this is
still gonna be a great place
The problem, however, came with the
fact that the changes that the world went
through were not the same kind that I went
through. In fact, they were quite
different: people no longer smiled, people
no longer said "hello and it became
something different than I had
expected. When I asked my friends about
this phenomenon, they responded by
saying, "Well, that's how it has gotta
be. You see innocence and smiles are fine
'for babes-in-aims, but that stuff just don't
cut it when youre bigger. This world is a
dog-eat-dog, and if you wanna survive, you
belter start eating I explained that
smiles (among other niceties) were a good
enough diet for me, and that I just couldn't
see ripping off somebody else. After all,
that somebody else is just another me, and
I like me!
So I have gone through life trying to
treat other people as I would like to be
treated (with occasional slip-up, of
course), and have marvelled at how many
people would jump at the chance to tip off
their grandmothers if it would profit
them. And to this day I still can't see how
(people can do that. Call me naive, call me
a fool 1 just don't buy the idea that to get
somewhere you have to push someone
else back five spaces (Welcome to
Monopoly). Many times, though, my
patience has been taxed.
Why, just this past November I was
sitting under a tree on campus waiting for
an apple to hit me on the head. As I was
sitting there, some dog (obviously curious
about the forthcoming apple) wandered
toward said tree and, not seeing a great
deal of difference between the tree and
myself, proceeded to do what most dogs
do to trees-except, of course, he missed
the tree.
Well, an hysterical owner of said dog
came running up and, almost in tears,
begged to be allowed to have my dark blue
(now even darker) coat cleaned. I didn't
want to put her to any trouble and so said
that I would have it done myself. But she
would not be disallowed what she saw as
her duty, and so off she went with my
coat. Having given her my address, I
expected the coat to come back in the near
future. (Naturally, I didn't get her name or
address. After all, SHE was going to
return the coat to ME.) A month later, the
coat not yet back on my back, I placed an
ad in the Fountainhead: "Mistress of
Galahad (I was pretty sure that was the
dog's name) - It's getting cold. Please
bring back my coat But no coat-and no
coat now in March.
Well, numerous theories have been
proposed by my friends as to the
whereabouts of the coat. Some say the
girl runs a racket and has her dog trained
to pilfer coats-this, in my trusting way, I
refuse to accept. Others say that she has
merely forgotten-this I prefer to
believe. And if such is the case, I would
like to say, "Mistress of Galahad-Please
return my coat. My phone number is
752-5730
I believe that I have rambled quite a bit,
and I really haven't reached my reason for
writing this. You see, I have other coats,
and although the "misplaced" one was one
of my favorites, I think I can survive
without it. But recently other things have
been "misplacedand it is this that I want
to say something about.
Somebody on this campus (or in this
town) has an awful disregard for the
property of others, as there hrve been
countless bikes ripped off in the past
months. Just last night my very close
friend had hers taken-chain and
all. Again in my naive way, I can't believe
somebody would do that. If the nice guy
who did take those bikes is reading this,
take the following into consideration. If
you had something that you loved (or
needed, for that matter) and someone
ripped it off, how would you feel? I just
can't believe that you don't think of the
people whose bikes you rip off. After all,
they are people just like YOU! They eat,
sleep, walk, talk, and have feelings just
like you To me that is obvious, but
apparently to you it isn't.
If thinking about that isn't enough to
stop you from stealing bikes, then try
thinking about something else: Like,
some day some guy less pacifistic than
myself is going to see you ripping off a
bikeand he isn't going to hesitate one
second before he beats the living shit out
of you. After all, this is a dog-eat-dog
world (right?). So look, there may be a
German Shepherd behind you.
Naively still,
Bruce R. Field

To Fountainhead:
Attention: ECU Greeks
The brothers and pledges of Pi Kappa
Phi would like to thank each Greek
organization on campus for their help
during the difficult weeks following our
fire. Without exception each fraternity and
sorority offered their help. Something like
this shows us the true value of the Greek
system on this campus.
We would also like to clarify any
rumors as to our future existence at
ECU. Our house was well insured and we
will begin to rebuild in the next few weeks
at our same location. Hopefully, time will
erase all traces of our fire and we will soon
return to our Hooker Road home.

To Fountainhead:
Indecent Exposure of Authority
Clothing is really quite vital
for those with rank, status or title
for the nation's Elite
would suffer defeat
from those in the nude
whom they label as rude.
No more rank. No status. No title.
Streakers and the Voice of Authority
Though I'm in a seat of power
I grow weaker by the hour
for my subordinates are rude
they salute me in the nude.
Where should I hand my medals to show
that I'm still boss?
Take away my clothing and the nation's at
loss
for when I gallop on a horse
and appear as a source
of a colossal force
then Law and Order can survive
(and I can stay alive).
So to maintain that differential
is clearly quite essential
if they won't wear clothing, then I'm
doomed to defeat
for they'll soon forget who's in the
driver's seat
and so when I honk my horn
they'll ignore that I was bom
not in the street
but as cream of the Elite.
I demand your priority!
I represent Authority!
Law and Order are required.
For this I have been hired.
My orders are quite firm. For this I
have been named.
Get that clothing on. You ought to
be ashamed.
I must lead! And you must follow!
Clothes back on! And dc't be
hollow!
Though I have rank as well as title
still that clothing is quite vital
for Law and Order there must be
and you'll readily agree
that such can never be
if there is no ME!
Your action is indecent. Besides it is poor
taste
You're mentally unbalanced. Why must
you act in haste?
I must lead! And you must follow!
Clothes back on! And don't be hollow!
Though my authority is creaking
and my bones and joints are squeaking
and the streets are filled with streaking
yet Law and Order must survive
that means I stay alive
for I am the Elite
not you in the street
and so I'm forced to chase
those of the race
who streak in disgrace
in their natural face.
Yes, the world can't live without me
Try it if you doubt me
I must lead! And you must follow!
Clothes back on! And don't be hollow!

Rock n' Roll radio
Programs: 'A schizophrenic medium'
'Rock-n-Rollprograms
worshipped in the late
fifties and early sixties
have evolved into a
schizophrenic medium'
By DAVID GLASGOW
Staff Writer
Today, and during the last decade,
popular music in America has gone
through evolutionary pains. The singularly
simplistic Rock-n-Roll radio programs
worshipped in the late fifties and early
sixties have evolved into a schizophrenic
medium.
At one end of the musical spectrum are
those involved with the Top 40 sound; at
the other end, the Progressives.
The scope of Top 40 music is basically
a direct extension of the early Rock-n-Roll
era. Generally the style of music
demanded, and played is quite simple and
elementary. Drums, several guitars, a
small handful of chords, an agent with
connections, and a "broken heart" appear
to be the major components of a
successful song.
Typical of the lyrics found in many of
the Top 40 tunes is the first stanza of the
current hit "Sexy Mama performed by
"The Moments
Here we go baby
Time to get down
Come on Sexy Mama
Come lay back
And let me sooth you
Take it easy baby
Let me do what I want to do to you
I wanna open up them love gates to my
Heaven.
The format, the manner of present-
ation, of Top 40 is attuned to the style of
music played. Rapid-fire, non-stop verb-
iage from an egotistical, hyperactive disc
jocket and the moronic repetition of songs
characterize most Top 40 stations.
At any given time approximately twenty
current tunes, coupled with an occasional
"oldie but goodie are rotated
continuously through the Top 40
broadcast day. These songs are classified
according to tempo and age by the
station's music director, and are
mercilessly played approximately once
every two hours. Therefore, in a single day
the entire musical stock is rotated
completely twelve times
Top 40 music appeal is
so immense it draws
billions of dollars
annually in retail sales.
The appeal of Top 40 music is so
immense that the record companies,
performers, and the complementary
businesses, i.e the oil industry, which
supplies the petroleum necessary for the
production of the plastic records, and the
manufacturers of stereos, receive billions
of dollars annually in retail sales.
Columbia Broadcasting Co. received
1 56 billion dollars in sales for the fiscal
vir 1973 and the projected sales for 1974
are expected to exceed this figure.
It is interesting, and significant, to
that the vast majority of this revenue
id from one of the least financially
the teenagers.
In general, with little fear of
oversimplification, Top 40 music appeals
to the pituitary glands of insecure
teenagers, and little else.
Progressive music, on the other
hand, encompasses such a wide spectrum
that definitions invariably fall short. It is
sufficient to say that the manner of
presentation, together with the music, is
directed toward an older more critical, and
most importantly, a more knowledgeable
audience.
Progressive announcers present their
programs in a conversational, music-
inensive manner. The stress is transposed
from the humor and personality' of the
Top 40 disc jockey, to the music
itself. Announcers assume the roles of
commentator, musical information center,
and critic.������-
The progressive
musical format
'virtually purges the
redundant repetition
of songs
of music presented.
One of the leading progressive stations
is WMMR in Philadelphia. It broadcasts
twenty-four hours each day, seven days a
week, with an effective listening audience
spread over three states. The announcers
program their own individual shows -
unlike the Top 40 disc jockeys - and are
thoroughly screened for diction, voice
tonality, and musical competence.
Despite the obvious differences, Top 40
and Progressive music are not mutually
exclusive. Many people enjoy both. The
significance and importance of the advent
of Progressive Radio is that Top 40 is no
longer an end in itself, but rather a brief
pause- likeadolescence-prior to seasoned,
well developed musical enjoyment.
The progressive musical format is
expanded considerably beyond its Top 40
counterpart to include various types of
musical expression. It is not unusual to
find stations broadcasting selections from
folk, jazz, rock and roll, and classical
music in a single program. This broad
musical spectrum virtually purges the
redundant repetition of songs.
Demographic studies indicate that
persons between the ages of eighteen and
thirty, with college degrees, compromise
the bulk of the progressive listening
audience market; it is also evident that the
greatest number of these people in in
urban areas. This explains why progres-
sive stations are financially restricted to
metropolitan areas. To leave these
densely populated regions would invite
financial disaster-regard I ess of the quality

He was well received by the large
audience in the music hall. Alter his
excellent performance, the audience urged
Dr Abril on to an encore. His musical
talents was one of the many outstanding
events in the Latin Symposium.
On Friday, all forces were compiled to
make the Foreign Language Symposium,
1974 ECU and the high schools that
participates, set up booths from the
countries they represented: Spain,
France, Russia, Germany, Mexico and
China.
Each booth had something different to
offer. The French booth seemed to be
many more in number than of any other
country. Cafe de Paris was presented by
the students from Arendell Parrctt
Academy from Kinston. Restaurant d'
Henri from Ayden-Grifton High School was
arranged with the red and white checked
tableclothes and French waiters and
waitresses, serving French cuisine.
Chinese exchange students displayed
many beautiful art pieces from the oriental
parts of the world. One particular piece
was an instrument called a "cheng It
was later played by Miss Der-Hang Chin in
the talent show.
In one of the Russian booths, Dr.
Malby's students displayed pictures and
literature of Russian life, past and
present. The Russian cultre was also
presented by students from St. Timothy's
School from Raleigh. Their booth
contained literature, crafts and pictures
from Russia.
Germany was represented by ECU stu-
dents and professors. A gingerbread
house was one of the many displays at
which were sold gingerbread cookies and
pastries. Dr. Resnik and Frau Hill were
dressed in the German tradition.
The Mexican booth was the most
complete display in the festival. Jewelry,
money, clothing, leather goods, tapes-
tries, statues and Mexican delicacies.
Friday morning, the contests in poetry,
language skits and musical entertainment
began. Friday afternoon, awards for best
achievement in each area were
presented. Dr. Michael Bassman was
director of ceremonies. Students received
trophies, plaques and foreign language
literature for their accomplishments.
The day ended with two language skits
put on by ECU language students.
This was the first attempt at creating a
Foreign Language Symposium at East

last.

Summer jobs abroad
Luxembourg, Europe-English pubs and inns, and hotels and restaurants
in Wales and Scotland are offering summer jobs to American college
students. Paying summer jobs are also available in lakeside resorts and city
hotels and restaurants in Austria, Switzerland and France. Irish homes are
open to American college girls who would like to live and work for their keep
in traditional Ireland with a traditional Irish family.
Any student may apply, and the jobs are given on a first come, first
served basis. Jobs, working papers, room and board arrangements, and
other necessary paperwork are processed in advance on a non-profit basis
by the Student Overseas Service-a student run organization which has
specialized in student help and student work projects for the past 16
years. Although standard wages are paid, SOS says the room and board is
the biggest advantage for students.
Many students are signing up to combine a summer job in Europe with a
bicycle tour of Europe. This means students will be taking to the roads to
bicycle around Europe before or after working at a paying job in Europe to
earn back most of their trip costs. SOS has organized a number of different
bicycle trips. One tour is through the Champagne country of France - not
exactly a sobering thought - ending up in Paris with its intoxicating sights,
history and excitement. Sometimes a van with luggage accompanies the
tour, but individual students can opt for only a new bike, a map and a
'survival packet
When students bicycle in a group, overnight accomodations at country
inns and small hotels are strategically planned between hostel stays or
simply sleeping under the stars. A special feature of SOS bike tours is that a
new European bicycle is included in the deal for anyone who wishes, and put
on an airplane and sent home with the student.
Interested students may obtain application forms, job listings and
descriptions, and the SOS Handbook on earning your way in Europe by
sending their name, address, name of educational institution and $1 (for
postage, printing, handling, and addressing only) to either SOS-Student
Overseas Service, Box 5173, Santa Barbara, Calif 93108, or to SOS, 22 Ave.

Sports
Rain interferes
but Pirates win
By DAVE ENGLERT
Assistant Sports Editor
Rain, rain - go away; come again
some other day! This cry was heard often
last week at Harrington Field as the East
Carolina baseball team battled the
elements as well as the opposition.
Of the three scheduled dates, two were
rained out. The third was converted into a
doubleheader and was not without its
doubtful moments.
Last Thursday the Tarheels of North
Carolina were slated for afternoon action
against the Pirates, but all the weather was
good for was watching the circus in
Minges Coliseum.
A single game was scheduled for
Saturday afternoon against Shippensburg
State College of Pennsylvania. Everything
seemed fine up until game time, but then
the rains came. The umpires seemed
actually oblivious to the precipitation, and
so both teams sloshed through three
innings before sanity prevailed. Nothing
seemed to be going right. Coach George
Williams and assistant Monte Litte played
groundskeepers in a vain effort to keep the
diamond in playing shape. The public
address system went haywire, much to the
chagrin of announcer Jack Morrow. And
poor Carl Summerell. He probably felt
worse than anybody when he realized that
his second inning line shot homerun over
the left field scoreboard was going to be
washed away with the ballgame. It was
decided to make the game up as part of a
joubleheader the next day.
Sunday's conditions were not ideal, but
aoth teams were so excited about this
chance to finally play that they stretched
the first game out over fourteen innings
Defore ECU pulled it out, 2-1.
Pirate pitcher Dave LaRussa and
Shippensburg hurler Denny Arnold locked
lorns in a pitching dual.
Shippensburg broke the ice in the fifth
nning. They tallied their lone run of the
Dallgame on a walk, a sacrifice and an error
cy Pirate shortstop Summerell.
Buc centerfielder Mike Hogan took
natters into his own hands in the bottom
3f the sixth as he clouted a homerun 340
eet over the rightfield fence. This evened
he score at one all.
Shippensburg never advanced a man
Dast second base from that point on. Joe
raley came in to relieve in the eighth, and
Ditched well until the thirteeneth. Bill
3uffington then marched in from the
ider bullpen to snuff out a potential
pme winning rally by the Pirates.
ECU ended it in the fourteenth. Left-
ielder Russ Smith was issued a base on
)alls to open up the inning. Ron Staggs
eached on an error by the Shippensburg
shortstop, with Smith advancing to
second. Staggs was caught leaning the
vrong way on a pitch in the dirt, and the
Haider catcher threw him out. Mike Hogan
hen slashed a singe up the middle and
imith beat the throw home for the winning
un.
Wayne Bland picked up the victory in
elief of LaRussa. Besides Hogan, who
Irove in both runs, other Pirates who hit
veil were Beast on and Summerell. Each
had two hits. Beaston and Summerell also
had a field day running the bases, with two
steals apiece. Courtesy runner Jack Elkins
had the other Buc stolen base.
When the game ended the Greenville
weather gods decided that enough
baseball had been played for one day, and
one of those typical monsoons kicked
up. The winds howled and the raindrops
splattered for 15 minutes, but amazingly
the sun was out soon after. Play ball!
The second contest was no contest at
all as Pirate hurler Bill Godwin recorded
his second consecutive shutout. He
allowed the Raiders just three-scattered
hits in notching his second win of the
season against one loss.
The Pirates wasted no time in picking
up a run in the initial stanza. Beaston
walked to lead off and stole second as ECU
continued to run wild on the Shippensburg
catcher. Smith then rocketed a double up
the alley in left to send Beaston plateward.
The score was soon 2-0 in the second
as catcher Rick McMahon was issued a
walk. Elkins entered the game as a
courtesy runner. Beaston then laid down a
beautiful bunt along the third base line for
a hit. When the Shippensburg third
baseman made a desperate attempt to nail
Beaston, the throw ended up in rightfield,
allowing Elkins to advance to third on the
error. Elkins scored when Smith lofted a
foul fly ball to right field.
The Pirates sealed the Raiders fate in
the fifth by scoring four times. Hogan led
off with a single and advanced to second
on a wild pitch. Summerell then lined a
double off the leftfield wall, driving in
Hogan. Summerell stole his third base of
the day and scored when the catcher's
throw ended up in leftfield. After John
Narron flew on to left, Elkins, now playing
right field, was walked. He promptly stole
second, only to be caught in a pickle
between second and third. Leggett then
walked, one of nine walks the Pirates were
to get in the six innings they batted. A
wild pitch, the fifth of the game for
Shippensburg hurlers, allowed Leggett to
advance to second. McMahon again
walked, and Tom Fleet wood came on as a
courtesy runner. Both Fleetwood and
Leggett scored as Beaston walloped a
triple. The score was now 6-0, and that's
how the game ended.
Summerell picked up his fourth stolen
base following a single in the sixth, but it
was to no avail.
The wins upped the Pirate overall mark
to 6-4 on the season as they readied
themselved for a big Southern Conference
doubleheader this Saturday at Harrington
Field against the Davidson Wildcats. The
action begins at 1:30 p.m.

Pirates beginspringdrills
Wednesday, March 27 is the third of
four important days for new East Carolina
head football coach Pat Dye. The first
important day was Jan. 4 when Dye
reported to the campus. The second is
about to come with the completion of
recruit signings.
"Important Day No. 3" is Wednesday
the day Dye receives his first official look
at the 1974 Pirate football team. That is
the day spring practice opens. It will run
through early May with a spring game
tentatively set for May 4.
Dye views the first day and the
subsequent month as "a time of learning
for both the players and coaches
"Everyone will be learning Dye
things, "because we will be changing
some systems and some terminology. The
players will be learning and adjusting and
just as importantly, the coaches will be
learning and adjusting to new players
"You might say both groups will be
learning to communicate with each other
and at the same time, communicate basic
football
For Dye, and his sevan man staff of
Henry Trevathan, Frank Orgel, Ben Grieb,
Wright Anderson, Lanny Norris, Watson
Brown and Jim Fuller, the top spring
priority will be "teaching
"A lot of the teaching will be X's and
O's because of the nature of the new
system Dye says. "We are very fortunate
to have as many defensive players
&Mmm!mm:i"zr�t9f

returning as we do. And, they are
returning at many different positions
which will help us. However, many
players will be learning a new position or
new techniques for his position
Specifically, Dye is talking about nine
of the 11 defensive starters returning from
the 1973 "Wild Dogs who led the
Southern Conference in rushing defense
and total defense. Included in that group
are Danny Kepley, a two-time all Southern
Conference player and his supporting cast
of linebackers Butch Strawderman, Billy
Hibbs and Gary Niklason. Also returning
are Cary Godette, an all conference
defensive end, Ken Moore, the biggest
defensive player on the team at
255-pounds, Buddy Lowery, a starter at
both end and tackle last year, Reggie
Pinkney and Jim Bolding, who finished
third in the nation in pass interceptions
from his safety position.
On offense, the Pirates return six of 11
starters from last year but the players
missing include Carl Summerell, Carlester
Crumpler. Stari Eure and Greg Troupe, four
all-Southern Conference players last year
and the backbones of both the running and
passing games.
Returning offensively for East Carolina,
will be Don Schink, a starter at fullback
and Ken St ray horn, a sophomore race
horse last year who gained 823 yards and
led the conference in rushing for eight
weeks.
The offensive line will have to be rebuilt
from tackle to tackle with the exception of
Tim Hightower, an experienced center and
starter last year. Greg Harbaugh and John
Grinnell are expected to challenge
Hightower for that position.
Benny Gibson, the starting tight end
last year until a shoulder injury ended his
season prematurely, will be back along
with Mike Shea who split time as a tight
end and wide receiver and Vic Wilfore, an
experienced player at the other wide
receiver.
"I like to think of building a winning
football team in this order Dye
says. "First, you have to have a good
kicking game. Look at Alabama in the
Sugar Bowl last year, the kicking game
hurt us. Then, we must build a good
defense with nine starters returning. And
finally, we must put together an
offense. That will take a little more time
because of a new system and new
personnel
Dye and his staff have spent endless
hours reviewing 1973 game films. Now, it
is time to see the players up close.
"We as a staff will have to have a lot of
patience with them. But, at the same
time, the players, will have to understand
what we are attempting to do
"I think all of us both players and
coaches, are looking forward to spring
practice very much

The Pirate track team ran into a
buzzsaw and rain in Charleston, S.C. over
the weekend.
Baptist College, one of the South's
three major track powers, demolished the
Pirate sprinters and won the tri-meet with
93 points, ECU was second with 47 12
and Princeton last with 39 112.
ECU won only two out of 12 places in
the 100, 220 and 440 yd. dashes as Baptist
completely checked the Pirate's strength.
Carson commented, "Baptist has the
third best track team in the South besides
Tennessee and Florida. They would kill
Maryland and William and Mary. Track is
their main sport and that's what they put
their money into
The Pirates won only three events; the
shotput, mile and high jump.
Tom Watson won the shot with a throw
of 49'2 34 He was ably assisted by Ivey
Peacock, who had his best day this season
in finishing third in the shot at 47' 9 112"
and fourth in the discus at 139'6 12
Roy Quick led a sweep of the high jump
for the Pirates by winning with a jump of
6'6" followed by John Pitts at 6'4" and Curt
Dowdy at 6'0
Gerald Klas won the mile in 4:14
despite running tactics not to his liking.
"I don't like to set the pace and we
really went out slow. A runner from
Princeton picked it up and we ran the first
half mile in 64.0 and 2:14. On the last lap
the Baptist runners opened up a 15 yd.
lead. I ran a 56.0 second last quarter and
outkicked them around the final curve and
straightway
Larry Malone had a strong showing the
long and triple jumps with 23'6 34" and
46'9" double in finishing first and third
respectively.
Willie Harvey finished third in the long
jump at 23'1 114" and Nat Haqqar fourth in
the triple jump at 44'3 34
The only bright spot in the sprints was
Palmer Lisane's third in the 220 at 22.2.
John Hoffman continued his strong
javelin throwing of a year ago in finishing
second with a throw of 201'9 Art Miller
cleared 14'0" to get second in the pole
vault and Sam Phillips ran a 14.5 for a third
in the 120 yd. high hurdles. Al Kalamaja
ran a 15:13 for fourth in the three mile.
This weekend the Pirates take part in
the Atlantic Coast Relays with many of the
outstanding teams and athletes in the
South present.
