Barriers cause problems for thedisabled
Editor's Note: For this article, FOUNTAINHEAD reporter Tom Frank traveled
Mendenhall Student Center in a wheel chair. His purpose was to discover whether the
new building wes barrier-free and easily accessible to handicapped persons.
By CARL MURPHY
and TOM FRANK
Staff Writers
Two graduate students in the Department of Rehabilitation counseling, Tom Frank
and Cart Murphy, recently toured the new Mendenhall Student Center in search of
architectural barriers and people's reactions to wheelchairs.
“How do we get to second floor?” asked the nigh, manager on duty while sat i
wheelchair, posed for the duration of the study. in they never told me heart
about that. The only way is to use the elevator; Wait, I'll get the key,” was the receptive
managers reply.
Later in the evening, Cari asked the manager: “Well, what if Tom is on the second
floor and the fire alarm goes off. Are you going to think of him first?” The night manager
thought for a minute and said, “Ya, guess li have to.”
Push bottoms on elevators, although not required by law, add to the safety and
convenience of handicapped students. “It was my understanding that the elevator would
have push buttoms,” said Mr. S. Rudolph Alexander, Director of the Mendenhal! Student
Center, “when found out it wasn't, sent in a request for it to be changed.”
After pointing out that even if buttons were installed in the elevator in place of the key
slots handicapped students would not be able to reach them, Mr. Alexander said, “That's
a good point. didn’t realize that.”
On the same subject, Mr. Jarnes J. Lowry, director of the physical plant, pointed out,
“The design for the elevator was made under previous administrations, and no change
was made from their requests.”
OTHER BARRIERS
Many other physical barriers, encountered during the study, exist in the building.
Floor mats in front of all the entrances are difficult for wheelchairs to overcome, water
fountains are too high, telephones are out of reach, the bowling alley is inaccessible, and
tables throughout the building are generaliy too low for the arms of a wheeichair to fit
under,
In the parking lot, the ramp over the curb is too steep for persons in wheelchairs to
get over on their own power, and no markings or parking space exists for handicapped
persons.
Lowry explained, “When the building was being designed, it was stressed that it
would be free of all architectural barriers that were known at the time (in the fail of 1971).
“We went out of our way to do the best we couid.
Provisions for handicapped parking, access to upper and lower floors of the
auditorium (theatre) with room for wheelchairs near the exit door for emergencies, and
wide bathroom doors were among the considerations.
“One place of great difficulty was the three steps in the bowling alley area. A ramp
would have to be so long, that, considering the cost, it couldn't be placed there.
However, the steps are wide enough to allow a wheelchair to be manhandied down to

Thefts high on weekends
Police recommen
By LEE LEWIS
Managing Editor
Bicycle thefts continue to be a problem
on the ECU ;
“We lose two or three a week and up to
five or six a weekend,” Director of Campus
Police Joseph H. Calder told Fountain
head.
While many bike thefts are the work of
individuals, evidence indicates that ECU
students may have become the object of
organized criminal rings.
Bikes stolen at ECU might well find
themselves repainted, with serial
numbers removed, parts interchanged, and
later sold for cut-rate prices on Campuses
throughout the state, said Chief Calder.
Few discernible patterns exist for
predicting where and when bike thieves
might strike. The vast majority of bike
thefts occur around dormitories and
classrooms with losses occurring equally
during night and day.
HOURS CITED
Prime hours of weekday thefts are from
8 a.m. to 10 am. and from 3 p.m. to 4
p.m. Campus Police estimate half of all
bike thefts occur on the weekends while
owners are off-campus.
Continued on page ten.
Officials warn students to be wary of
local high schoo! youths congregating
outside dorms and classrooms. Indivi-
duals seen on campus with bolt cutters
should be reported to police immediately.
Several vehicles are wanted § in
connection with bike thefts at ECU. They
include: an old-model green or blue van, a
green pickup truck, and a white
Volkswagon var.
A standing reward of $25 is offered to
persons providing information leading to
the arrest and conviction of bicycle thieves
at ECU.
STIFF FINES
Persons arrested for stealing bikes here
are charged by campus police and placed
in the city jail. According to Chief Calder,
bike thieves normally receive harsh
punishment from local judges. Recently, a
person convicted of stealing three bikes at
ECU was fined $500 and placed on
probation for three years.
Official schoo! policy toward persons
convicted of bike theft is determined on a
case-by-case basis. Expulsion from
school, although possible,
automatic, explained Dean of Men James
Mailory.
However, any student placed on
hail is locked. In case of a fire, who would hear one student hollering for the key?
probation by a court of law is also
automatically placed on “continuing
probation” by the university.
ECU students are encouraged to use
several precautions to discourage
potential bike thieves.
When not in use, bikes should be
locked to an immovable object with a good
(usually expensive) lock and cable (cables
are harder to cut than chains).
Smai!l amounts of spray paint can be
used to give a bike unique and readily
identifiable markings.
BIKE REGISTRATION
Above all, bikes should be registered
with the campus police.
Bike registration costs 50 cents at
ECU. Forms are filied out detailing color,
description, and the serial number of each
bike.
if a bike has no serial number, campus
police will attach one free of charge.
Authorities caution that, unless a
missing bike is registered with the carnpus
police prior to .the alleged theft, the
chances of recovery are slim.
“The best thing to do is to pay the 50
cents,” said Chief Caider.
Presently, fifty unciaimed bicycles are
d bicycle registration
being held by campus police. Bikes
continuing to go unclaimed are
periodically solid to the public by sealed
bid.
Students are also advised not to leave
bikes on campus during holiday

Off The Cuff
By JIM DOOSON
“A GRIM FABLE”
Herein lies a probable history of East Carolina University excerpted from “The
Begatting of a President”, and the ancient accounts of Dobsob the Younger set down in
sanscrit on the sixth day of the month of the fowl in the year of our Lord 1974
Ovice upon a time, before the days of the mighty scribes there was a great darkness in
the east over the land of Graen and the shire of Pitt. This place which lay far beyond the
gothic spires of Dukes, and the copper dome of Wake, was shrouded by a misty veil of
ignorance and neglect which impoverished the spirit of the peopie and brought great
sadness to the hearts of native sons. And good intentioned warriors rose up to combat
the tide of tradition but alas, the enlightenment in the east was not to be, and wise men
just shook their heads in sorrow and turned their tearful eyes to the learned “Hill” in the
west, to the land where the heads were of egg,and the feet of tar. where the fountain of
knowledge flowed from the old well, and the prophets of “wisdom” guided the pathes of
men
Now it came to pass that a stranger from the north came unto this place one early
morning, and from his silver steed saw the great sadness that enveloped the hearts of
men, and he knew that he must bring the light of education unto the children of
larkness, so he withdrew his book of checks and antiquated scabbard of time and set
about the arduous task
In the beginning Leo said, “Let there be a school that we may bring the light of
education unto our chiidren.” And it was done. Thus the moming and the evening of the
first day
Then Leo said, “Let there be chidren of all numbers and persuasions to come unto us
that they may partake of this fruit of enlightenment.”’ And brothers and sisters, both
black and white journeyed unto the east. The moming and the evening of the second
Jay
On the third day Leo said of his school, “Let there be bureaus and departments
without number that we may rejoice in the tape of red”. And he saw that it ws done, and
rejoiced therein
Jn the moming of the fourth day he said, “Let us make a covenant to science
whereupon did a sea of computer cards fail upon the children, upon which was writ“Do
not fold, bend or mutilate!” And he saw that it was good
On the morning of the fifth day Leo looked out over his glorious creation and spaketh,
‘What Ho! My brethern jet us build great monuments of concrete and cinder block that
our Children may dwell in the midst of our great «ingdom serve as a reminder of the one
who brought them out from the darkness”. And he saw that it was “finger-lickin’ good.”
Now on the morning of the sixth day he gathered together his loyal trustees and
journeyed unto distant and hostile lands in search of noble sons and daughters and the
ring of bullion that his school might have a new image, and changed its narmeaccording
thus saying, “Hence forth we shali no longer be the “T.C.” of “E.C.”, but rather the
‘University of the East
On the evening of the sixth day he returned to his beloved creation and lifted his eyes
Out over the twinkling lights of its great hall, and saw that it was good, then threw a wiid
party in celebration of the blessed event
On the moming of the seventh dayhe slept in until the evening of the seventh
day. And then he arose saying, “Aw shucks, let there be an eighth day!” And he invited
nis followers, and the sons of the “Buccaneer” to his palace again to celebrate once
more
Now at this time there was a distant rumbling in the west. And the scribes mocked
him saying, “What manner of man art this Leo, who brings this light unto the land of
nod? And the scholars on the “Hill” cried forth while murmurs of discontent and
Suspicion saying, “Who is this Apostolate of arrogance that dares to Question the ways
of tradition? Shall we not rise up and smote this acerbic acaderm? Damned be this
rebellious son of Nod!”
And far to the east Leo listened to their discourse and smiled unto himself. Dammed if
he wasn't
Now before ail of this had come to pass there were great clouds of darkness that had
dwelied over the entire land for many years, and these clouds brought much sorrow to
tne hearts of people, and great anguish to the poll of tne politician, (who was many
sheckied and multiplied beyond all understanding). Now from a distance the young Leo
watched the clouds rise and burst upon the land, that he might learn the ways of a true
leader, and the hustle of the “prophet of popularity” (whose mouth was full of tongue, but
whose heart was full of goodness)
The young Leo remembered the shameful summers of the early years in the sixth
decade when there was an integration of hate and intolerance on the part of the
nghteous. “For there were those children among the people whose skins were black,
BOF the fatted calf they were left sucking hind-tit, And they were the pickers of cotton
shiners of shoes for in the words of the white psaimist, ‘they had plenty of
aNd nuthin’ was plenty for them.’ And it was decreed that they should sit
Dm the seats of the mighty yea even unto the restrooms. Now it came to pass
a prophet rose up amongst them and they called him king and he went unto
Dan and said, ‘Let my people goto the front of the bus’ Wherefore did the King
ble a great host and he led them unto the lunch counters of the land and asked for
and they gave him a stone in the head. And he was set upon by fierce dogs,
ich are the man’s best friend)
Now the avenging angel Carmichael cried out ‘Give me some men that are blax
hearted men for ours is the kingdom and glory and the black power’. And the YOUNG men
girded up their loins and there were burnt offerings in the streets and the summer waxed
long and hot. And it was the Molatov cocktail hour and there was a mashing of teeth and
a smashing of windows and the people descended upon the merchants and low. thera
was instant credit. And the King saw what was happening and spake out, ‘Rende, unto
Sears that thing which is Sears’, for what profiteth a man to gain a color t.v and loge
his soul brother. Then the King journeyed unto the city of Memphis and said ‘Ye pe
overcome’, but a foul assasain rose up against him and slew the King and there were
wailings and lamentations in the land”and these things did sadden Leo and he Made
note of them that he might never see the days again
Now in those days a great and mighty Pharoah did rule the land, and he was Called
L.B J. and he stood strong and tall ammong all Texan boss men. And of his people B J
did speak,Of al! of the fruits of this great society you may eat save one. the fruit of
dissent, for verily Say until you whosoever eats the forbidden fruit will surely persih toa
sting of wasps.”
And the children of the land trembled when L.B.J. spoke “for there was a
great
draft”. From their neon tubes they watched the speckeied birds of steel sending mighty
streaks of fire unto the ground upon the heads of the followers of the prophet Ho And
they were sore afraid and trembled in valley of the shadow
Now there were those among their number who cried out against the atrocities and
took their banners unto the instutitions of leamingyea even unto the classroom and
administration buildings. And they remained that the elders might listen and take heed
But alas, they did not and the guard was called out to welcome the children with a Carpet
of red
Now at this time it happened that a great election did fall upon the people and mighty
candidates did strive forth for the vacancy created by the retiring Pharoah L.B.J. And the
children’s cries were heard by ashepherdfrom the hills of Minnesota called Eugene. who
took up the torch and brought it unto the precincts. But the foliowers of L. BJ nx cked
m calling him a dove among hawks. And the battle lines began to form as primary time
drew nigh, with the children of peace on the left, and the regulars ied by their new
champion Hubert on the right. And between them was the valley of the generation gap
But the battle was all for naught, for the job fell onto another of comely origin and
pendulous jowl, whose wife wore a republican cloth coat, and whose virtue was as pure
as a hound's tooth. And he made things perfectly clear from that day forth
Now as Leo looked on at these many problems that confronted the pati: °s of men. he
became wise, so that he too should not stumble in their footsteps. And thus i! was then
that he heard the great rumble of “the wise” in the west. For he saw that the light unto
the east was good and said, “Let us bring medicine and law unto our people that they
may truly revel in the glow of enlightenment.” But the rumbiing in the west grew louder
and some from the “Hill” called for a silence to be put unto Leo. And said, “If we must
accept this fate let us make a school in our image that people may know that they are
there to serve we, the learned.” But Leo stood firm and the tumult grew louder, and he
was great for he knew that his path was righteous and that the light of glory would fal! on
him and not on Friday, thus he was patient, and the tumult grew louder still, and some of
the children of the east trembled in the shadow of the west, and the giant Firday drew
near to the people rising high above them and striking terror into the hearts of men. But
Leo gathered up his sling of legislators and siung a mighty vote which smote the giant
between the polls and brought him down to his ram knees, and the people of the east
rejoiced

and the friendliness of the wildlife was
really amazing. Being out with nature like
we were is so vital, think. The only
aspect of the whole trip that didn’t like
was ail the rules and regulations that the
Shenandoah National Park had set up. In
my opinion the rules didn’t help, as they
are designed to do; they hendered us. For
example, instead of limiting the number of
people that can hike the trail. they limit the
things you can do. We couldnt use the
trai! sneiters originally built for
backpackers, instead, we had to go oul
about 250 yards in the woods, away from
any established trail or road which puts
you away from any water supply. We had
to walk sometimes a quarter of a mile just
to get water. Because of such rules as
this, a backpacker can’t thoroughly enjoy
himself. Nevertheless, had a really good

STONES: ts only rock and roll but ?
THE ROLLING STONES
IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL
By DAVID SAVAGE BROWN
Staff Writer
For the past fourteen years. that
egendary defiant enterprise known as the
ing Stones have been producing their
fair share of rock n’ roll music. Yes.
nbelievably for fourteen years they've
peen doing their little act which
rprisingly enough makes their union just
uple of years older than the fab four
wn as the Beatles. lronically, Lennon
McCartney wrote the Stones first hit
jie, “ Wanna Be Your Man”. This was
sf the time that the Beaties were first
preaking through to stardom and the
tones, who had actually been together for
years before the Beaties. were in
lesperate need for a song, hoping to gain
the same convinving recognition. So, as it
was, this hit helped boost them to future
opularity. It wasn't enough, though, and
agger and Richards decided to resort to
their own talents. A list of original
numbers followed, and the Rolling Stones
became another addition to everyone's
vocabulary. Originally known as the Silver
Rollling Stones, and later shortened. the
agger and Richards combination has
shown the world what rock 'n roll is about
about. Influenced in sound and style by
Yuck Berry and Muddy Waters they have
ing to this approach, avoiding the
mplicated expression and have stil!
managed to survive as one of the leading
ntiuences on today’s music
Trying to pinpoint the Rolling Stones’
SOUNG is rather difficult. To compare it to
some other artist makes it even more
complex. There's actually no way to
describe strict rock 'n roll at its best. The
Rolling Stones sound like nothing but
themselves, which is most distinguishable
by Mick Jagger's characteristic voice
With sixteen American albums and a long
ist of singles they're at it again with IT’S
ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL. Drugs and sex
make up the majority of the Ivrics here
which typifies most of their music. Ever
since their involvement with the law over
some illegal possessions and the death of
ex-Stone Brian Jones from an apparent
drug overdose, the Stones have a tendency
to aim most of their songs in that
direction
A striking resemblance to GOATS
HEAD SOUP this album is just another
volume of melodious rockers having that
same tendency to over-emphasize the
chorus function. The consistent repetition
iS discretely featured in the songs “Dance
Little Sister’ and the single “It's Only Rock
‘fn Roll”. This particular single has been
haunted by much derision since its
release. The overall song is pretty simple
and its popularity has suffered somewhat
as a result of this. What is failed to be
seen here is that the song is merely part of
a jam session with Kenny Jones and Ron
Wood of the Faces. Jagger evidently liked
the rock 'n roll idea and decided to use the
cut aS a symbolic interpretation of their
standing position in the musical world.
Side one begins like any other Stones’
album with the usual fast tempo. “If You
Jackson Browne
By CINDY KENT
Staff Writer
LATE FOR THE SKY: JACKSON BROWNE
Jackson Browne is back with a new
ibum, LATE FOR THE SKY. it is
basically a good one that nas a few
itstanding songs. However, it seems
‘at Browne has been unfair to himself -
ast album, FOR EVERYMAN had
" @ lasting impact that it will be hard
nim to live up to it
ne thing Browne had going for him on
ast album was that some of the songs
were already well-known by other artists,

4yS , Gregg Allman and also Tom Rush
To add to those surprises, Browne had
‘he heip of some “extra personnel”, such
4S Joni Mitchell on electric piano, David
fosby and Bonnie Raitt on background
‘armonies, and Sneaky Pete on pedal
taal
Unfortunately, the new album has none
' these attractions. This doesn't in any
way Getract from Browne's personal talent
‘S a composer, guitarist, singer and
pianist. But it does take away from the
DUM aS a whole, giving it a much less
versatile sound and creating an effect of
aINENESS with some of the songs
The songs that have this quality are
Farther On “The Late Show’, and
Before ‘the Deluge”. The only difference
these songs is a slightly different
nelody and words. Otherwise, the pace is
almost the same, slow and easy, and the
entire form is also just about the same
‘eluding an interlude on — slide
guitar. Musically, though, the songs are
fine and easy to listen to. But as a result
of all the good material Jackson Browne
has turned out in the past, he has proven
that he can do alot better
The rest of the album is Browne at his
finest
“Late For the Sky” starts out kind of
slowly but builds up to the chorus, which
has a pretty tune and nice harmonies. Al-
so in the song is an outstanding guitar
solo played by David Lindley, who plays
other instruments (slide and fiddie) on the
album
“Fountain of Sorrow’ has an easy
going rhythm which pauses suddenly at
the beginning of each verse. Although its
rather long first verse takes a while to get
to the point, the words are in-depth and
easy to follow. This song has more full,
complete harmonies on the chorus
One of the most outstanding songs on
the album is “The Road and the Sky”. Set
to a fast, boogie-type pace, it has
accomodating bass, slide guitar and piano
mechanics
“For a Dancer’ is a slow, beautiful,
classy song. Starting out with a simple
piano accompaniment, the other instru-
ments soon come in, building it up to the
exceptional chorus lyrics: “Just do the
steps that you've been told, by everyone
you've ever known, until the dance
becomes your very own The words are
reminiscent of a Kahlil Gibran
saying: “Sing and dance together and be
joyous, but let each one of you be alone.”
The song continues: “Into a dancer
you have grown, from a seed somebody
elise has thrown, go on and throw some
seeds of your Own”
“Walking Slow’ presents a change of
pace as a fast, rock-type song, with
Can't Rock Me” is the number and it brings
back memories of the “Brown Sugar’ days
Bringing back memories of the
Temptations’ days, “Ain't Too Proud To
Beg’, a Whitfield and Holland issue of the
early 60's, makes a modern, stepped-up
interpretation of this tune probably better
than the original version. Next comes the
title Cut, making the first three efforts
pretty exorbitant in sound. “Till the Next
Time” slows things down a little and
brings in a reminiscent of “Winter from
GOATS HEAD SOUP. Time doesn’t seem
to be very much on Jagger's side on the
nect tune, “Time Waits For No ONe”. It,
too, is a moody, siower number with a
good show of guitar sounds from Mick
Taylor's slide. He has improved tremend-
ously since his days with John Mayall. Of
course, he was only sixteen years old at
the time and joining the Stones boosted
his confidence somewhat.
“Luxury” starts side two off with a
band, and it makes one wonder why it, and
the next number, “Dance Little Susie”,
weren't put on the EXILE ON
MAINSTREET album. They are remarkably
done in the same fashion.
Biue Magic does the backup vocal on
“If You ReallyWant to Be My Friend”, and a
soulful beat brings this tune out as one of
the newer styles tried by the
Stones. “Short and Curlies” and “Finger-
print File” finish the side with the latter
being the more experimental of the
collection. “Short and Curlies” is the
‘rude’ number that the Glimmer Twins
seem to slide into each album, with the
lyrics being somewhat coarse but by no
PREVIEW
“WHO KILLED JFK?”
“Who Killed JFK?” an audio-visual
presentation questioning the findings of
the Warren Commission on the
assassination of John F. Kennedy will be
presented in the Mendenhal! Student
Center Theatre on Tuesday, November 12,
1974, at 8:00 p.m. Narrated by Bob Katz,
the program is under the auspices of the
Student Union Lecture Series Committee
Tickets for this attraction are availabie in
the ECU Central Ticket Office and are
priced at $2.00
On November 22, 1963, President John
F. Kennedy was killed ec his motorcade
wound its way through downtown Dallas
We were told that he was killed by a
frustrated loner and that he was killed for
no apparent reason. But was there more to
the events that weekend in Dallas and
more to the peopie behind those events?
Why did two-thirds of the eyewitnesses
believe that the shots came from the front
when the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey
Oswald, was located behind the
outstanding Grums and percussion by
Larry Zack
It is through this last group of songs
that Jackson Browne has proven that he is
still capabie of producing “really good”
material. It's too bad, though, that he
can't produce MORE of it, as in his
previous albums.

means offending. “Fingerprint File”
brings the drugs back on the scene and
incorporates that funky wah-wah that's
present in most of those weird intoxication
sounds
Synthesizer appears to be the new
accessory that employs itself in these
tumes. Evidently the Stones feei that it
takes up the gap left by the brass section
which incidently is missing from the
album. Billy Preston, Nicky Hopkins and
lan Stewart share the keyboards again as
they did on the last album, but the lack of
Jim Price and Bobby Keys does vary the
sound again somewhat
Overall, the album sizes up as a
moderate Rolling Stones album with
nothing particularly outstanding or
different from their others. It does add to
the catalog of renditions and doesn't
degrade their high reputation in the
least. In short, ‘It’s only rock 'n roll (but
like it)
(This album courtesy Rock 'N Soul, inc.)
motorcade in the Texas School Book
Depository? Why does the Zapruder home
movie taken at the scene reveal the
President being blasted violently backward
by the fatal shot? Why did this frustrated
loner, reputedly a leftist, have a history of
involvement with federal espionage
agencies and possibly even the men
arrested for the Watergate break in? Why
are eleven files compiled by the C.I.A. on
Oswaid prior to the assassination being
withheid from the public until 2039 for
“internal security” reasons? Why!?
The program “WHO KILLED JFK” will
provide rare photographic and filmic
evidence of the conspiracy that killed John
Kennedy. Much of the material was never
seen by the Warren Commission. The
slides demonstrate ciearly that more
bullets were fired at the motocade than
Oswaid could have fired with his bolt
actionaifie in the limited six seconds that
the shooting lasted. In another series of
siides, a mysterious man is shown on that
Clear fal! day, opening an umbrella as the
motorcade passed, and ciosing it
mmediately after the President was shot
The lecture, slide film program will be
presented by Bob Katz. Katz with the
cooperation of the Washington based
Committee to Investigate Assassinations,
has been lecturing on the subject of the
John F. Kennedy assassination since
1972. Prior to that time Katz worked as a
journalist in Chicago and Boston.

the experts at the economic seminar
bowing their heads in prayer at the
beginning of the session might perhaps
indicate the seriousness with which those
erstwhile thinkers view our current
situation
There was a time once before in recent
history where cartel generated inflation
brought on a world wide depression, when
there was instability in every government
in the west, when the stock market
spiraled downward this fast, when there
were widespread labor problems, when
there were major international bank
failures, when there was a dustbow! in
Oklahoma
The administration's consistent reas-
surances that there will be no recession
notwithstanding, the last time these
constellations were in the sky, which was
in the thirties, the situation turned out to
be very serious indeed
Though it does not seem likely that the
major economies of the west are prepared
to let themselves get dumped, only
measures more drastic than anything thus
far proposed can prevent eventual
collapse. When conditions become suf-
ficiently uncomfortable for large segments
of the population to demand those
measures, by then so much damage will
have been inflicted on the social fabric of
western society that it will be left
permanently crippled
As World economics operate on a De
Milleian level, Cleaning our plates and
breaking our credit cards will affect the
total picture pitifully little
IRELAND
Once again there is large scale
bloodshed in Northern ireland
The American press continues to
categorize the conflict there as religious
when in fact it is political, and will persist
until there is some social equality between
the Catholic and Protestant communities
in the Six Counties
And this will not be accomplished
while the British Army is there conducting
a reign of terror against the Catholic
population
Those wondertully civilized British
in
order to hang on to this last colonial
possession, are now holding more than
15,000 political prisoners without trigi
often under appalling conditions
It iS past time that the UN was given the
power to arbitrate this dispute
Lately one notices much mention of the
effect of oil prices on the famine stricken
“Developing Nations”, a hopeful a; Del
lation. It looks as if the Arabs are goi;
take the rap for the famine
As we all know, Americans undertake
wars only for humanitarian reason:
g to
ARAS MONEY
A fnend of mine from New Yor
pointed out that the Arabs may soon begin
loaning Out money to the third world
whether they want to of not, beacause
large American banks are refusing to grant
the Arabs short term high interest
depositing. There are limits to what one
can Go with forty billion dollars, absurd as
that sounds
An incidental effect of the diffusion of
Arab bucks could be the lowering of
interest rates in this country. They couid
drop to half of their current prime
There is a rumor that should the
Republican party suck wind at the polls
around the country next month, come 1976
there will be a third party ticket featuring
Wallace and Reagan
Should these two be elected this author
will be filing from Switzerland thereafter
That 34 megabuck error at the Chase
Manhattan, which surfaced this week, S
only the first, I'll bet, of several such
scandals waiting to be revealed As ne
big banks slide into deeper and cseper
trouble it will be harder for them to conceal
bad management practices which fave
become pandemic in the industry
Men protecting women?
By LINDA CAYTON
(IF) The few male students at a
predominantly female college are
organizing a security force ostensibly
designed to protect women students, but
which has the potential to jettison the
Schoo! back to the Victorian age
Mary Washington College in Fred-
ericksburg, Virginia existed for many years
as the woman's half of the all-male
University of Virginia. When a federal
court found the university to be following a
pattern of sexual discrimination and
ordered it to admit women, MWC followed
Suit and Opened its doors to men. As a
womans college, MWC maintained many
social rules which were siow to break
down. For years, only men whose names
appeared On an administration approved
ist could visit students on campus:
dances were open only to quests invited by
the dean of students; women were "0!
allowed in certain isolated areas oF
campus with dates; men could only ve
entertained in public places a
But through years of effort, MW
women gradually took control of her
lives. By the time men arrived on campus
as students, almost no social regulations
governed the student body. To those used
to the concept of the old-style g's
school, MWC had become known as ("6
bordello of the south.” .
After attempted assaults on two MYC
women recently, the 47 male students
organized a squad to patrol the campus
and to protect the women from harm
“All the guys are pretty uptight about
this. We are a pretty close knit commun'ty
here,” remarked ome male student. “We
are going to kick ass this weekend. We are
out for blood. Instead of waiting around
for something to happen, we are going '°

the Administration
rect me if I'm wrong, but in the
lepartments of this school that the main
m is in preparing teachers, aren't
supposed to prepare competent
‘eachers? Of course they are. Why then
re there seemingly so many imcompetent
'eachers that are preparing us, the
pective teachers suggest that there

© ability of all teachers here at the schoo!

Energy
To Fountainhead
Everyday on the news and in the
newspapers we are confronted with the
energy crisis. Billboards, bumper stick-
ers, posters, Congressmen and the
President tell us that we must conserve
energy, yet, for some strange reason ECU
ignores all of these and continues to waste
energy everyday by heating buildings when
it's over 80 degrees outside. Students are
forced to open the windows so that they're
abie to breathe and ali of that valuable
energy, which we will probably be in dire
need of later, goes out the window
if ECU is as concerned about expenses
and the conservation of energy as they
prociaim to be why don't they quit wasting
fuel and TURN OFF THE HEAT

Threats
To Fountainhead
was leafing through the Nov. 5th issue
of the Fountainhead and the article on the
bomb threats caught my eye. ! was
shocked to read that library employees
were required to use their petty leave, if
they wished to evacuate. I'm surprised
that they weren't ordered to evacuate. I'm
truly dismayed by the attitude the State
showed towards its employees, by
requiring that they use petty leave, or risk
dying at the hands of alunatic. True, most
bomb threats are usually the work of sick
pranksters, but there's always the
possibility that a threat is more than a
prank. How would the State feel if one or
some of the employees had used ail their
petty leave prior to the bomb threat, and
thus would have had to remain inside, and
a bomb actually went off?
Aliso, from the article got the
impression that the Campus Police
couldn't be bothered with going all the way
over to Rawi to investigate. Instead they
merely asked the operator to inform Raw!
of the threat. This could be a mistaken
and unfair inference that may be drawing
from the articie hope so.

Student government
scaatin aitlinille
Each quarter, each student on this campus pays $2.00 to the Student Government to
provide a transportation system to meet the needs of the students. These fees are also
lected in the summer. This comes to quite a large sum of money for the SGA to carry
lout this function.
The entire budget of the transportation system for September '74 through May '75
does not exceed $25,000 or just a few thousand more than the revenue collected for
transportation for this quarter alone. The remainder of the transportation money goes
into the general fund to be doled out by the legislature to finance worthy projects and
organizations.
Students! If you do not approve of the transportation system as it exists, you should
contact your representative in the legislature and have him speak out for you. You might
even ask him what is happening to the rest of your transportation funds?
As individuals the students on this campus cannot possibly keep informed of al! the
pros and cons of any function of the SGA, unless one specializes in a single area. A
committee of specialists is being formed at this time to study the transportation system
as it now exists. Based on their findings, this committee will make recommendations to
the legislature concerning constructive changes in the system. Their goai will be to
design the means for a transportation system that serves the needs of the students as
well as possible with the funds provided. It is the duty of the legisiature to implement
such a program to achieve this end.
In the meantime we are saddied with the remains of a lackluster transportation
system. Both buses are out of warranty and it seems things are inconveniently
happening to add to this image. Many times service on the Eastbrook route has been
interrupted due to unforseen maintenance. am sorry for this inconvenience but
maintenance is a necessary reality that must be dealt with.
do not mean to shed any poor light on the present student government or
legislature. The transportation system as it exists was inherited by them. They must
dea! with it as best they can. But the transient nature of student government and
legisiature is not conducive to efficient running of a transportation service. Something
better must be sought for the benefit of future student bodies as weil as our own. This
will be one of the main goals of the committee, to achieve something better for ai! of the
students
To the contrary may say that SGA President, Bob Lucas, and the student legisiature
have been exceptionally cooperative in providing needed funds for the buses this
year. The driver salary controversyexcepted!
Some of the things accomplished so far this year are: expanding routes to inciude
the new Student Union as well as more of the major apartment compiexes in Greenville,
tablishing permanent readable signs at each bus stop, and printing cards 2 12” x 3
2” with bus schedules printed on them. Also on the tab for the near future is the
lacquisition of shelters and benches at the most used bus stops, acquisition of AMFM
music system for the buses, and possibly a schedule change based on a Survey taken by
the drivers earlier this year.
legislature know this, but neither is the bus system ai! that it could be. The SGA has the
responsibility of investigating other alternatives.
in closing let me mention others who are never heard of, but without their support and
pus have never once failed to render service when requested, and during last years
ions such as hotly contested parking spaces for the buses to pick up and deliver
who support the transportation system by riding the buses each day.
if any person has any specific question about the transportation system, please feel
free to contact me through the SGA office.
Sincerely,
Richard Folsom

swamp forests along the major streams in
the eastern coastal plains of North
Carolina.”
He said the value of swamp forests has
been a controversial issue. He is trying to
determine if these swarnp forests are
exporting organic matter downstream to
the estuaries; and if this organic matter,
which represents an energy source, is
important to the estuary.
Among other things Dr. Brinson is
trying to determine the seasonality of
production. “We know there is organic
matter produced during the summer, when
the leaves are in foliage, and in the fall
they drop into the swamp, and some of
them are exported and washed out.
There's also organic matter produced by
algae in the swamp forests that grows
during the winter, because there are no
leaves on the trees. Therefore, the floor of
the swamp forest is exposed to sunlight,
and algae grows during the winter, so it’s
productive throughout the year, whereas
most upland forests around here are
productive only during the summer.”

While most ECU students were
standing in line around town waiting to eat
on Saturday, about 900 male dormitory
residents and their dates were attending a
barbecue supper sponsored by the Men's
Residence Council at East Carolina.
Tagged the “Big pig”, the extravaganza
made use of some of the student fees paid
by the residents at the beginning of the
school year.
The total cost of the supper exceeded
$3,000, with the only cost to the student
being a one dollar charge for their dates.
MRC Advisor Dana Hunt praised the
MRC Executive Council for their work on
the “Big pig”.
“The MRC handied it beautifully. It
was one of the most successful events
have ever seen,” said Hunt.
The serving system had a lot to do with
the successful organization of the affair.
There were four serving lines with each
person receiving a plate of barbecue, cole
slaw, and hush puppies upon presentation
of a ticket. Tickets had been soid earlier in
the week in the dormitories.
Hunt commented on the cooperation
from the students in attendance.
“ envisioned drunks going wild and
fighting over the pigs, but there was none
of that,” said Hunt. “We had some guys
walk off with cases of i sO we fan
out. But that was all.’ re, © a
The event was the first major project
undertaken by the MRC this year and had
been counted on to raise resident interest
in MRC sponsored events. In addition, the
MRC hoped to use the event as an exampie
of what can be done with resident fees.
“ am pleased as can be with the
turnout and response,” said Hunt. “Mr.
Cobb (Rudy Cobb, the caterer) handied it
well and don't think it could have been
improved on.”

Stand 2-1 in conference play and each team
has two conference games after Saturday's

with East Carolina remaining in the
conference, Saturday's contest is
do-or-die.
EAST CAROLINA'S running game will get plenty of work the next three weeks as the Pirates go after a third SC crown.
The Pirates are the most prolific tearm
in the conference on offense, scoring an
average of 24.5 points a game. They are
also the stingiest defensive team in points
allowed, allowing an average of only 14.5
points a game. Richmond's defense has

Nothing more need be said about that.
then it's a trip to William and Mary. Two
wins, and the showdown will be set for
November 23, in Lexington, Virginia.
While the VMI loss was a big one, the
ECU win on Saturday over The Citadel was
also a big one. The Pirates rolled to their
most impressive win of the year, striking
down the Bulldogs 41-21. That marked the
final home game for 1974, before a
Homecoming crowd. It also marked the
final day for 15 seniors to ever play in
Ficklen Stadium.
Those seniors have gone through their
career and never lost a game in Ficklen
Stadium: 15 consecutive wins for them at

The comforts of home are lost for the

“We haven't done weil this year on the

going to be hard to beat. But if we don't
stop doing those silly little things
(offsides, motion penalities, furndies,
interceptions) we can't possibly win our
final three games.”
Despite the big win on Saturday over
The Citadel, the Pirates did give up to
many of those little things which allowed
The Citade! to get out of the hole on some
occasions and to stop ECU on others.
The running of fullback Don Schink
helped the Pirates to overcome those little
mistakes. Schink ran for 144 yards in 21
carries, which ranks as high on the team
for this season, as well as Schink's career
high. For his efforts, the senior got the
game bail.
While Schink was destroying The

“Our defense did a super job on

To beat The Citadel, to win for

made Pat Dye and Pirate fans happy on
Saturday. But as Dye put it after the game,
“To learn that VMI had lost was just icing
