1968 Land Utilization and Marketability
Study done for the Greenville Redevelop-
ment Commission by Francis Scott Key of
Atianta.
In the 1968 study, Key estimated that
by the year 1975, just a few days away, the
student population at ECU would be
“generating $15,000,000 in retail sales.”
Key pointed out that this total of
$15,000,000 “is exclusive of fees, college
tuition and other factors that are attributed
to campus activities.”
Key based his prediction on the growth
factor of the ECU student population over
the seven years between 1968 and 1975 at
roughly $1,000 per student. This figure
may fall short of the actual spending of
ECU students when figured on Gall quarter
enroliment of some 11,392.
Campus students may spend as much
as $8 million in Greenville. ECU housing
officials list 5435 beds on campus, and
during fall quarter all were filled.
These students spend an average of
$1500 each during the year in the
Greenville business community.

RSI: Re AS a
Concert atrocities
The Dicky Betts Marshall Tucker Band concert of November 13 was a big success as
far as ticket sales go. But ticket sales don’t necessarily make a concert a success,
especially if the audience leaves disgusted.
You didn't know about that? Well maybe it's about time students at East Carolina
realized the kind of reputations they are spreading and either change them or FACE UP!
All the yelling and griping about no concerts, poor concerts, not enough concerts,
etc. is screaming in the wind. Pretty soon no one is going to listen to us and here’s why :
The rowdy, pressing conglomerate outside the doors necessitated an early opening
during which two girls at the front passed-out from lack of air and would have been
trampled into the concrete if police officers had not seen them and gone io the
rescue. People were literally squeezed through the turnstiles at rates which left many of
them cut, bleeding, tom and angry.
Once inside, too many people continued to drink themseives into alcoholic stupors
which left several vomit-covered and ashen-faced people to be cleared out of the empty
building after the show was over.
Certainly plenty of students will remember the smelis arising from beneath the
bleachers where certain crude members of the audience chose to relieve themselves
when they found the slime-covered bathrooms too full of sick people to be accomodating
if they even looked. But the guy who nonchaliantly stood up in the stands and
proceeded to make a urinated design on the inviting backs below must take the prize of
the evening for all-out pigishness.
According to Student Union officials and Chief of Police at ECU, Francis Eddings, the
evening was alive for ushers and security officers who spent their time carrying out the
several drunken pass-outs and 0.D.’s. not to mention the vain attempts to get the
audience to observe the no-smoking rules. in fact, many ushers asked to be relieved of
their duties quit because of the reaction of smoking students they approached.
Now it is just plain common sense, or so most decently educated and intelligent
persons would assume, that you don’t smoke anything in enclosed areas which
specifically state No Smoking, and that you don’t use the bleachers and floors as
toilettes. And most people would agree the smell of vomit is enough to taint the effects
of even the best concerts.
Why, in the name of whatever you hold highest, do we allow this to happen? What
kind of people are we? The above mentioned atrocities are all true. But they aren’t the
end of what we have done.
According to Dr. Edgar Hooks, Chairman of Health and Physical Education Dept
there were 476 cigarette and otherwise buns on the gym floor. And you think students
can shrug their shoulders and ciick their tongues at that? Wrong! We pay baby—to the
tune of an estimated $500 which comes right out of our Major Attractions tund. We pay
all right, when we can’t afford to get popular groups here after Christmas because we
have to pay for the extra cost in refinishing the gym fioor. Remember that, next time you
hear someone griping about not enough concerts.
But let’s go on to some other little facts and conversation pieces. A few days after
the concert a meeting of concemed students, administrators, staff, etc. was held to try
and find out some solutions.
Dean Rudolph Alexander mentioned the two couples found in “compromising
situations” on the stairwells, and added, “I’m hard put to name anything that human
beings can do that was not done at that concert.”
Mr. Hooks commented that he is all for student use of the buildings, but “there is a
lot of difference between use and abuse.” He added to a silent roomful of stunned
people, “! do not feel can sanction programs that might damage the buildings, no
matter what kind of programs they are.”
There is a good possibility the concession stand will be closed down to help avoid the
drinking during concerts 6 or 7 cases of empty beer cans alone, were found in the empty
building. Other jons were made such as reserved seats, etc. But we can
suggest until we're all blue in the face. It’s the students who have to do something. Be-
sides, the Student Union is doing everything possible to make the concerts enjoyable to
everyone. They don’t want to overload the atmosphere with rules and regulations,
announcements and police officers only 19 officers were present.
The fault may not entirely lie with the students the concerts. A rather large
percentage of people at ECU attractions are not students. if it is mostly the public who
are causing the trouble then it is still up to ECU people to protect their rights — mainly to
continue having, and hopefully enjoying, concerts here.
Dr. Hooks said all there is to say when he charged that “It’s time for the silent
majority to speak up and teli the few students causing trouble to stop.”
It is just a few people causing most of the trouble. The mood is too contagious at
concerts like this to be allowed to spread.
if we care we can stop it. We can actually attend concerts without fear of our detes
being harrassed, being thrown-up on, taking a nauseating journey into the muck-floored
bathrooms or having to witness disgusting scenes.
Whoever said we had to act like unchained animais to enjoy a concert anyway? True,
that is the atmosphere at many, maybe even most, other concerts non-ECU but do we
have to stoop to the depths aiso? Must we ourselves for an evening of
entertainment? it’s not worth it folks! And ali it will take is a laptul from the drunk
behind you or a singed head of hair from the goners next to you, lighting up “one for the
road”. Or maybe it will go all the way to the collapsable stage being shaken down by the
rude groupies girating in the stage lights and injuring - or worse - the entertainers, before
we wake up and realize what we are allowing to happen ali around us.
Take it or leave it? No sir, it’s take it or take it away. Because a reputation caused by
a few is gonna mar us all. And it will stick until we decide to do some cleaning up — or,
settle for less pleasing concerts because OUR concert money is varnished in the gym
floor. Do yourself and a lot of others a big favor at the concert tomorrow night, tell a pig
to shut 8, (up) up, grow up or get the hell out!

The question of when accreditation will be granted for a four-year, degree-granting
School of Medicine at East Carolina University depends on a number of factors. We are
progressing aS rapidly as possible toward fulfilling all conditions and requirements
which we are confident will result in our achieving provisional and then full accreditation
within the next year or two
The first step is to select a dean and have this week appointed a Search Committee
which is already conscientiously pursuing this matter
In informal discussions with officials of the accrediting body in Washington, D.C
last November 25 and in other conversations and correspondence we have been assured
that we are approaching the matter of applying for and achieving accreditation in a
manner which is both procedurally correct and expeditious. We have been assured of ful!
cooperation and guidance by the accrediting officials and we are working as rapidly as
possible to fulfill, step by step, each of al! of the necessary requirements
see no Cause at all for alarm about undue delay and wish to remind the public of the
many instances over the years in which our critics have attempted, unsuccessfully, to
misiead, to undermine and try to block every effort we have made to provide this
much-needed, urgently-needed addition to our state's medical educaiton program
The people of North Carolina, through their collective voice and through their elected
representatives, have made clear that they want a fully-acceptable, four-year degree-
granting School of Medicine at East Carolina University, and we are pledged to that
end. can assure you that in spite of our detractors, we are going to move ahead

November 13th was the day the Major
Attractions Committee presented The
Marshall Tucker Band and Richard Betts
with his American Music Show in Minges
Hiseum
At 7:00 p.m. of the 13th, the coliseum
was in a fush. People were hurriedly
setting up speakers and sound
amplifiers. Nothing urusual occurred
inti! 7:30 when the floor of the coliseum
pegan to shake and a low rumbie could be
neard. Suddenly, a wave of speeding
people flew to the front rows of chairs
Seats filled rapidly with spectators, many
f ther in high spirits
Marshall Tucker carne on stage shortly
past 8:00. The members of this Southern
blues-rock band are: Tom Caldwell,
pass; Toy Caldwell, lead and slide guitar:
eorge McCorkle, mhythm guitar; Jerry
Eubanks, flute, saxophone, and percus-
1, Paul Riddle, drums; and Doug Gray,
ead vocals
The band began its performance with
Take the Highway”. “Can't You See” was
the second tune. The fiute mastery of
Jerry Eubanks was demonstrated in this
ng. Toy Caldwell was easily able to stir
rowd into clapping with his gestures
and refined guitar performance
Several new tunes were also
played. “In My Own Way’ and “This Old
owboy” were among the songs
performed from their new album entitled
Where We All Belong”.
Ramblin’ was the last song played by
Marshall Tucker. Doug Gray took the

opportunity to beam forth his wide ranging
voice
In the half hour intermission between
Marshal! Tucker and Richard Betts, the
Stage was set up with different equipment
Suddenly, a man in a yellow suit
flashed onto the stage foliowed by a small
group of musicians. The tune “Blue Sky”
was begun. The man in his bright suit was
Richard Betts. “Blue Sky” is a song that
Betts made famous with the Aliman
Brothers Band. The crowd becarne elated

with Betts sang of “going to Carolina on a

The second song was “Rain” from
Betts’ solo album, HIGHWAY CALL
Betts recorded this album receritly with
Vassar Clements on the fiddie; David
Walshaw, drums; Stray Strayton, bass:
Chuck Leavell, piano; John Hughey, pedal
steel guitar; the Poindexters; and the
Rambos, a gospel singing group.
The Rambos and John Hughey did not
appear in this concert. Julian Clark took
the position of pedal steei guitarist in the
show, participating in dual ‘slide’ leads
with Mr. Betis.
Several old and new Betts’ songs held
the audiences’ attention mildly until
“Ramblin’ Man” was performed. The
crowds’ enthusiasm leaped with this song.
Following an intermission, Betts
returned to the stage with the Poindexters,

whom had not appeared in the first part of
the show. Several biuegrass tunes were
played. Of the country music performed,
“Jambalaya” seemed to be the biggest hit
with the crowd.
Betts returned to the Aliman Brothers
style with a half hour version of “Elizabeth
Betts walked off stage after this song,
but returned for an encore playing “Long
Time Gone” AND “Jessica”.
The performance made a favorable
impression on most of the audience. The
only valid compiaint of the show is one
valid of each concert heid in Minges. The
walls and ceilings of the coliseum make a
perfect echo chamber. Sound continuous-
ly bounced off these surfaces, causing
much distortion of the music. Perhaps
future cc .certs Could be held outside in
Ficklen Stadium???

COFFEEHOUSE CONCERT
Biues oriented dobro player Josh
Graves will be the specia! guest of the
Student Union Coffeehouse Saturday and
Sunday December 7 and 8. Graves, who
hails from the hill country of Tennessee,
began performing after leaving home at
age fourteen. His first inspiration came
from the biuegrass musicians he became
familiar with through his Tennessee
background, particularly Cliff Carlisie and
Jimmy Rodgers.
He has performed as studio musician,
as well as on the road, for many artists
including Lou Childress, J.J. Cale,
Cowboy Cupus, Del Reeves, Chet Atkins,
Carlie McCoy and Kris Kristofferson. He
was also asked to perform on several cuts
for Leon Russel! albums but, due to prior
commitments, had to refuse.
Now Josh Graves in on his own and
able to play his own style of music which
leans to Diues. He is not rejecting his
bluegrass background though. “! love
bivegrass,” he insists, “and I'm proud of
my past — played with the
best. Butreally, I'm into the blues.”
Graves will appear in two shows night!
at 8 and 9 p.m. in the multi-purpose room
across from the main desk on the first floor
ot Mendenhal! Student Center.

Minges is the property of the ECU

Come Friday night we are planning to have one of the biggest concerts eve
scheduled at East Carolina. The concert is a sell-out and yet we plan to loose money on
it. Our costs are extreme and we need the students help so that our costs will not be
unbearable. The Doobie Brothers are requiring additional stage for Minges (they neag pm
80’ wide stage) and also requiring more power to be piped into the coliseum We have to
purchase cables for this. Here are a few more things the Doobie Bros raquin ;

to pay for the loss on the Doobie Bros. (approximately $3000.00 - $4000 00)
We also have to pay for the damages incurred to Minges Coliseum during the

Hell-raising affair
As you may have noticed or heard, the Marshall Tucker concert was certainly a
bnatide hell-raising affair. Unfortunately, however, the extreme actions of some
sents seriously damaged the only concert facility in the city of Greenville, which is
nges Coliseum. There was almost complete disregard for some simple concert
ives. For instance, believe it or not there were over 450 cigarette bums on the
iseum floor
put it mildly there is strong concer on the part of al! individuals involved in the
prnation of campus concerts. In fact a meeting was heid soon after the Marshall Tucker
cert to discuss problems and hopefully seek solutions in regard to future concert
icles. In attendance at this meeting were student affairs administrators, Dr. Hooks,
s responsible for Minges Coliseum, and numerous students from all the large
ent organizations.
Many suggestions and aspects of the probiem were given serious consideration and
ention. For instance, suggestions such as increased security, reserved seats and not
nally suggested but certainly in the back of everyone's mind, a possible moratorium
concerts were among those mentioned.
feel the most logical and most productive approach is to make a sincere appeal to
to help us Out with this problem. certainly don't want to even somewhat infer that

Dtect the facilities of Minges Coliseum some care desperately needs to be taken on the
teveryone. Remember, the major attractions committee has to pay for all damages
de by students, which of course comes from the total concert budget.
Finally think the special concerts should be congratulated on obtaining the Doobie
Dthers It should be a fantastic concert. in order to make it totally successful and pave

Bowling
To Fountainhead :
There are three leagues that have
formed to bowl on the lanes at
Mendenhall. Every week these leagues are
faced with malfunctioning lanes. The
lanes are brand spanking new and half of
them are out of order from week to week ;
two teams of four bowling on one
lane. THis is intensely frustrating for
everyone concerned. The leagues’ hope is
to find the lanes repaired the following
week, but comeback to the same
heart-breaking situation. Most of the
teams have disbanded and if this
disappointment continues, the leagues
will be sure to collapse.
The employees of the bowling alley are
doing the finest job possible. They act as
one man bands being the cashier,
mechanic and watch guard ail at
once. Whoever it may concem; it is not
the employees but the lack of them. The
alley needs someone to manage the
repairs. Is this asking too much? Stu
dents pay a reasonable sum to bowl and it
is well not worth it. We are all proud of the
new student center and the opportunity
given us to bowl on campus. Can't we be
given the chance to enjoy it?

Several points of interest that invite
investigation
bne of these very controversial areas is
exNorbitant and unfair out-of-state
Whereas the SGA cannot
personally change the tuition, they
certainly can exert pressure on the North
Carolina State Legislature through student
support, the young Republican and
Democrat parties, the North Carolina
Student Delegate Assembly, and other
related means. When election time
occurs, the SGA could even actively
support and campaign for, at least, a
reduction in the out-of-state tuition. After
all, the $789 charge does reach quite a few
students
A second issue is the policy of
dormitory visitation. Instead of an already
biased Board of Trustees (who seek
pronographic plots in all heterosexual
encounters) administering the regulations
it would be a triumph for student maturity
and independence if each dorm could have
some verbalization in the visitation
decision. Since the SGA President is a
member of the Board, direct student input
and opinion can easily be achieved,
whereas actual results would necessitate
calm and proper petitioning
The third area would be the Student
Supply Stores’ actual monopoly over the
campus. The book-buying policy exists as
a constant thorn in the sides of the
students and insults the financial sense of
the student. This problem has never been
solved in my seven year relations with
ECU, although the Veterans book
exchange is a forward step The
solicitation policy emerges this year to
effectively prevent al! student fund-raising
the discretion of the
all-omnipotent Student Supply Store
manager. Granted, the Supply Store
serves the students well, and administers
much scholarship money to the
university. Still, this area begs for revision
of current policies and needs work for a
better student-store co-existence
The 1974-1975 legislature will probably
be historically categorized as an efficient
organization. If they will delve into the
above three areas, they can be further
remembered for their total involvement in
the students’ welfare. They could even be
credited with a “first” in the SGA
expansion into student needs that have
been historically 100 percent administra
tive. The final question arises: Does this
SGA have the sheer guts and dedicated
desire to tread paths unknown in order to
aid the ECU students in areas that have
been closed to student inquiry in the past
and present? Only a “pat” answer can be
given: “Time will tell.”
attempts. at
Old Roman
Crisis
What would you, as a student, do if a
crisis came upon you suddenly? Would
you know who to turn to, or where to go?
am sure many students here at ECU would
not Know who, and where to go for heip
and consequently be worse off.
A crisis means something has
changed, such as the homeostasis of an
individual's life. Such a crisis would be, a
loss of a loved one, an unwanted
pregnancy, or the pressures of school
work. What ever the reason, all of us go
through a crisis in our lives at one time or
another. Just as peopie are different, the
way a crisis effects us is different. For
some of us, the crisis will pass as quickly
as it came. Yet, others may be tormented
for months. In this case, the person needs
to talk to someone about the crisis. It
does not have to be professional heip, but
someone who can be trusted. It could be
your best friend, a minister or a significant
person.
If you cannot confide in any of these
people, you could use the services of East
Carolina's Student Guidance Center. The
Guidance Center is located in 307 Wright
Annex Building. All ECU students are
eligible for counseling, at no cost. You do
not have to be on the verge of suicide to
use the center. If you are having problems
with your studies, and cannot seem to find
the answer, the Guidance Center could be
your answer. Or, if you just cannot decide

one, again the center will guide
you. Naturally, everything is confiden-
tial. The staff consists of five full time
members who wil! be giad to see and hear
you to the final stages of your personal
crisis. If acrisis does occur on a weekend
and you feel you need heip, the Guidance
Center says contact the infirmary or Real
House. The Infirmary will later refer you to
the Guidance Center

To Fountainhead
Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority would like
to congratulate the band on their fine
performances throughout the football
season
It is a shame that this organization is
not supported by the Fountainhead and
the student body more than it is. The
Fountainhead has not yet given this
organization the recognition it deserves.
Only one letter has appeared in the Forum
conceming them. After eight hours or
more of practice each week creating a
half-time program, most peopie leave
during their show
Marching Pirates, we want you to know
that we are behind you all the way

CU Volunteer Association approved for campus
By BARBARA TURNER
Staff Writer
The ECU Student Volunteer Associ-
a campus arm of Volunteer
reenville, WaS approved aS a Campus
prgan ization on November 18, according to
ve Hamer, one of the coordinators.
The ECU Volunteer Association's
urpose is to provide an opportunity for
4 Jent volunteers to share their problems
‘ experiences with persons of groups
ho rely on volunteer help for their
iectiveness, such as Boy's Club
The association is searching for new
nteer roles for students. Some
hilities, according to Hamer, are
sng the Sierra Club and helping the City
¢ Greenville to conduct surveys of their
yment practices of women and
tudents with ideas for action are
— to contact the ECU Volunteer
ciation,” he said
ne there are about 50 student
teers in different volunteer organi-
such as REAL and Volunteer
ville. Debbie R. Strayer, a senior
working for a B.F.A. in Art and a
Psychology is one of the “big
for the ECU Student Volunteer
tion
m working two hours a week with a
girl who is on probation,” she
Ve go to athletic events and do art
such a macrame and cross-stitch-
planning to show her how to
make candies for Christmas.” Ms Strayer
said
“My little sister enjoys crafts, but not
aS much as sports,” she said
She explained that being a big sister is
sometimes “a frustrating experience, but
when there is communication it's really
nice
“Volunteering is also good practical
experience for my major,” she added
Ms. Strayer said there was a problem of
acceptance when she first met her little
sister. Her little sister regarded her as an
“authority figure”
Ms. Strayer is also a member of the
REAL House staff, where she answers the
phone and counsels people who come in
IN addition to volunteering much of her
spare time, Ms. Strayer is making some
stuffed animals for children in the
Greenville area
A double major, five hours of art work
Outside of class and work at the library
keep Ms. Strayer busy. “I'd like to be more
invoived, but just don't have the time
right now. really wish that more people
would get involved in the ECU Student
Volunteer Association because it is a
challenging and rewarding experience,”
she said
Interested students may volunteer to
work with the ECU Student Volunteer
Association on Wednesday, December 11
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a table in the old
Student Union. There will also be a
meeting at the Methodist Student Center

Bottoms estimated that 90 per cent of the

Ed Rawis, a Greenville realtor who
owns the Georgetown complex, admitted
that several of the shops in the small
shopping center do the majority of their
business with the student population
Rawis estimated that at least eight
more businesses in the two blocks closest
to the campus did as much as 90 per cent
of their business with college students
He added that in the same area most of the
Dusinesses pull as much as half of their
trade from students
It is really just a matter of logistics,
since the area is within close walking
distance for the students who live on
campus,” Rawis explained
While he admitted that most of the
busineses in the Fifth Street area were
aimed at the students, he claimed that
more than one person had gone broke or
suffered some negative effects from the
student population
Many businesses have failed in that
area because of all the student traffic,”
Rawis said. He pointed to the tough
reputation the area has acquired, and that
all the people hanging around the stores
hurts business about as much as it helps
The Greenville Chamber of Commerce
has no figures on just how much money
the students pump into Greenville coffers
They do estimate that the entire ECU
complex is responsible for about 25 per
cent of the total Greenville economy
‘We don't really Know how much
money the students spend, but we do
know there is a constant flow the
year-round,” said Harold Creech, Chamber
Director
The impact of the student population
on the Greenville economy is evident in
other ways. Greenville has an unusually

Ca gers drop opener to Pack
By SAM ROGERS
Staff Writer
Dave Patton's East Carolina Pirates,
sporting their new Celtic Influence look,
ventured to Reynolds Coliseum last
Saturday night and found out why North
Carolina State is rated the number one
team in the country this season. Matter of
fact, the Pirates could have probably used
a couple of characters like John Havlicek
and Dave Cowens to battle David
Thompson and the rest of the Wolfpack
squad.
North Carolina State overwheimed the
Pirates 98-81 for their first victory of the
new season, but East Carolina put on quite
a respectable performance considering the
obstacles that the rowdy 12,400 partisan
fans, along with obnoxious Norm Sloan
and his gang, presented the Pirates.
The major obstacle was the menacing,
pressure defense that little Monte Towe
and his cohort Morris Rivers displayed
which gave the Pirate backcourt a fit the
entire evening. Time and again the
Wolfpack team pilfered errant passes and
converted them into easy layups. The
Pirates were guilty of 36 turnovers which
let the Pack build up their final victory
margin
Nevertheless, the Pirates never quit
until the final hom and the few East
Carolina supporters at the game saw a
much improved team over last year’s club.
Towe, Rivers and Thompson converted
four quick buckets to open up a 92
advantage before the Pirates could regroup
and cal! time out. East Carolina came back
and managed to regain their composure,
reeling off eight straight points to State’s
zero
Kenny Edmonds hit a long jumper in
between two by Buzzy Braman, and the
Pirates cut the Pack’s lead to one point at
11-10
But that was as close as the Pirates got
all evening. Phil Spence and David
Thompson went to work on the smaller
Pirates inside while Monte Towe was
stealing passes left and right.
State led by as many as 15 points in the
first half, but could never really put the
Pirates away for keeps because of the
number of fouls the Wolfpack committeed.
Towe, Rivers and Stoddard all had
three fouls in the first half which gave East
Carolina numerous opportunities at the
free throw line, but the Pirates converted
only 8 of 18 free throws which gave State a
comfortable 49-36 cushion at the half.
State came out running in the second
half, quickly building @p a 20-poing
advantage on tne strength of the magical
moved of David Thompson.
Spence continued to dominate on both
backboards and for all purposes the game
was over long before the midway point in
the second period. East Carolina never
quit and managed to narrow the final

Mermen ready for Penn State
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
East Carolina's swimmers open their
road season Saturday when the Pirates
travel to University Park, Pennsylvania to
compete in the Penn State swim relays
“We hope we can do better this year
than last year when we finished seventh,”
said swim coach Ray Scharf
Scharf said the team “had the ability to
be the best swim team the school has ever
had.” But he added, “the team’s success
will depend on their own dedication and
motivation.”
On the competition in the Penn State
Relays, Scharf noted the competition was
better than before and named six schools
which the Pirate mermen would be pressed
to place ahead of. Among these teams
Maryland, Pittsburgh,and Villanova are the
yughest. Maryland has won the meet the
ast two seasons
Another major problem confronts
Scharf. That is the problem of choosing
the school’s traveling squad to participate
in the meet
“It will be difficult to select the
traveling squad for the relays,” said
Scharf, “our depth is so deep and we can
only take 18 swimmers.”
In addition to the smail squad, the
meet format will call for the 18 swimmers
to fill 48 spots
Scharf cornmented he hoped the team
did not suffer too much from the
traveling. “The greatest problem with any
away meet will be the traveling. Scharf
said, “It hurts us in the meet because the
men are not totally rested enough to
perform their best.”
“We have dedicated boys who want to
do well. These next few weeks before
Christmas will tell just how well we are
prepared for this year.”
The Pirates are well-stocked for this
season and the Penn State Relays will
provide the squad with some top-notch
competition before they enter their dual
meet season on November 14 with
Appalachian State. But, as coach Scharf
points Out, concerning the relays, “The
pressure on each man depends on his
motivation. They (the Swimmers) are
going to get a chance to prove t
this us hemselves
iI
margin to a respectable 17 points
New head coach Dave Patton wasn
bitterly disappointed over the Pirates’ loss
and, frankly, the Pirates did a respectable
job on the number one-ranked Wolfpack
“N.C. State has a fine team With a
crowd like the one tonight, it's harg to
Keep your composure,” said Patton. “
don't think it’s any disgrace to lose by 17
points, though. If you take away all the
easy layups they got, think we would
have been right back in the bai! game.”
Patton was quick to keythe outstanding
play of Thompson and Spence, “There js
no way to defense David Thompson. He's
just a super player. Phil Spence really
impressed me. He has made tremendous
improvement since last season.”
Thompson led ail scorers in the game
with 33 points and grabbed seven
rebounds while Phil Spence added 2
points and snagged 17 rebounds Morris
Rivers socred 16 points and Monte Towe
chipped in with 10 to round out the double
figure scoring for the Wolfpack
Although the Pirates made many
mistakes and looked sloppy at times, it
was a typical opening game.
“We made a lot of mental! mistakes and
think we should have handled the
pressure a little better than we did,” said
Patton, “but we hustled and never
quit. Tom Marsh and Gregg Ashorn played
well and Wade Henkel looked pretty
good. have a great deal of confidence in
this ball club and think we're going to
have a good year.”
Ashorn led the Pirate scoring with 16
points. Reggie Lee came off the bench to
pump in 14 points and Kenny Edmonds
scored 11 points while Wade Henkel and
Tom Marsh rounded out the double figure
scoring with 10 points.
State hit on 41 of 82 shots for an even
50 percent while East Carolina was 31 of 64
for 48.4 percent. The taller Wolfpack
outrebounded the Pirates 46 to 35

ECU splits, VMI new SCchamps!
Weaver goes to air
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Mike Weaver reverted back to his old
high schoo! passing form against William
and Mary and led East Carolina to a 31-10
win over the Indians in Williamsburg,
Virginia
‘Weaver, one of the top passers in North
Carolina during his playing days at
Williamston High School, completed six of
ten passes for 189 yards and a 74-yard
roucndown pass to Theodore Ashford.
Before the William and Mary gare, Weaver
had completed only 14 of 63 passes for 221
yards
Weavers passing proved to be the
jeciding factor in the game, as the Pirates
totalled 425 yards in total offense to the
indians’ 297 total yards.
ECU pulled ahead in the second period,
after trailing 7-3, when Weaver connected
with Ashford on a 74-yard pass-run. Ash-
ford bobbled the pass, but held on to travel
the final 25 yards for the score.
William and Mary came back to tie the
score at 10-10, but Weaver led the Pirates
5 a go-ahead touchdown with 2:45
remaining in the half.
Weaver hit end Will Williamson for 36
yards to the six yard line and Kenny
Straynorn scored to put East Carolina
ahead to stay at 17-10.
The Pirate defense dominated the
second half, setting up both ECU scores
and keeping William and Mary in their own
territory for the majority of the half. The
indians could manage only 89 yards total
offense in the second half
The first Pirate score in the second half
came late in the third period following a
Danny Kepley interception.
Kepiey intercepted a Bill Deery pass at
the 37 and retumed it 36 yards to the one.
Strayhorn scored his second touchdown of
the game on the next play and the Pirates
ed 24-10
Kepiey Ss return established him as the
career interception retum yardage leader
with 196 yards
The final score of the game came
midway through the final period when
freshman Willie Hawkins bounced off
several would-be tacklers on a 12-yard
touchdown run.
Hawkins’ score came four plays after
Nick Bullock had recovered a Deery fumble
at the WM 40. Tom Daub carried for 20 and
Weaver for eight before Hawkins tallied the
game's final score.
The 31-10 Pirate win was tarnished by
Appalachian State's 1413 win over
Richmond. ASU's victory eliminated the
Pirates from any chance at a conference
title and put Appalachian in a first-place tie
with VMI. Both teams had a 41
conference record.
Gary Nikiason and Danny Kepley were
standouts on defense, as they had been ail
season, with Nikiason contributing 21
tackles and Kepley 15. Butch Strawder-
man put together an excellent game for the
third week in a row.
The William and Mary game was the
finest East Carolina performance of the
year and, as several players noted after the
game, proved Mike Weaver could pass.
Billy Hibbs noted, “We knew he could
pass, but until today he did not seem to
have the confidence to put it all together.”
ECU head coach Pat Dye cailed
Weaver's performance, “Gratifying.”
“Our passing game has always been
there,” said Dye. “We just seemed to have
something bad happen every time we
threw the football.”
Dye said the team had learned
something from the previous week's loss
to Richmond.
“Our offense is a running offense,”
said Dye, “but after last week Richmond)
we knew we had to pass more to be
successful. With a good passing attack
we are hard to stop.”
Against William and Mary the passing
game turned the trick, leaving East
Carolina at 7-3 for the season as the
Pirates advanced into their season finale
against VMI
Clubbers drop finale
The East Carolina club football team
ended a disappointing season November
with its most disappointing game of the
season, a 14-0 loss to the North Carolina
tball team
‘Mad the UNC team been a stronger
ie score could have been more
Opsided
The East Carolina club played a
disorganized game and the game featured
sary P
many outbreaks of fighting, as several
players trom both squads were ejected
fron the game
"he Pirates’ wishbone proved totally
Netfective - as it ran off only 25 plays the
entire garne. The lack of offense placed a
ajOr burden on the defense.
‘he defense was excellent with Les
‘vaiker, John Evans, Joel Oppenheimer,
Bobby Lougee, and Bobby Brandon
'8a0Ng a defensive line which reached the
“0'Na Quarterback for seven sacks.
he two Carolina scores came primarily
4 result of penalities, which ECU had
»ver100 yards worth. The first score came
"the first period on a 12-yard touchdown
run by the Rams’ quarterback. The play
followed a 55-yard pass play on the game's
third play
The second score followed two
penalties against the Pirates for
unsportsmanlike conduct. The score
came on a five-yard end sweep on fourth
down. Chapel Hill had several other
opportunities to score which they failed to
take advantage of, including three field
goal attempts which were unsuccessful.
The Pirates’ rough play and display of
unsportsmanlike conduct was 4 result of a
long season of frustration for a team which
finished 2-6 this year after having won the
league title four consecutive years. It was
the first example of misconduct by the
team this season, but nevertheless left a
bad irnpression on the team’s Chapel Hill
ysponents
wa clubbers were not used to losing
and for many of the fourth-year players the
season's outcome was just too much for
them to accept. The outcome of their final
season caused many of them to leave their
frustrations on the field
Keydets win crown
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
A deflected touchdown pass and two
fied goals were all VMI needed to defeat a
sluggish East Carolina offense and take
their first Southern Conference title since
1962 with a 13-3 victory.
The VMI Keydets controlled the game
throughout. Following a dropped pass by
Vic Wilfore in the end zone near the end of
the second period East Carolina never
threatened again
VMI had jumped to a 10-0 lead on a
15-yard touchdown pass from Tony Farry
to Ronnie Moore and Rich Rufaro’s 25-yard
field goal
On his touchdown reception, Moore
grabbed the pass while laying on his back,
after the pass had been deflected by two
East Carolina defenders. It marked the
third time in the season the Pirates had
suffered with such a fate.
East Carolina appeared to be driving
back in the second period. First the
Pirates drove 60 yards to the Keydet ten
before stalling and settling for Jim
Woody's 25 yard field goal.
Later in the quarter, the Pirates drove
again on a 70-yard drivé, which carried
East Carolina to the VMI five yard-line. On
first down, Mike Weaver hit Vic Wilfore in
the end zone with a perfect pass, but
Wilfore dropped the pass. Following a
seven-yard loss by Kenny Strayhom, the
Pirates went for a field goal from the 19,
but VMI's Johnny Garnett blocked
Woody's attempt and the Pirates were
finished for the day.
Garnett had earlier intercepted a
Weaver pass to set up Tufaro’s successful
field goal try
In the second period, both offenses
proved sluggish, but on the half's first
series the Keydets managed to control the
hall for seven and a half minutes before
setting the Pirates back on their own
seven
East Carolina remained deep in their
own territory for most of the quarter,
oreventing Head Coach Pat Dye from
opening up his attack.
When ECU finally obtained good field
position, Jim Woody missed on a 43-yard
field goal attempt.
On the next series, the Keydets’ Ronnie
Norman broke free on a 52-yard run to set
up the game's final score - a 19-yard field
goal by Tufaro.
Norman's run established him as the
first VMI rusher to ever exceed 1,000 yards
rushing in a season. Norman, despite the
52 yards on the one carry, finished the
game with 107 on 21 carries.
The remainder of the game proved to be
a defensive standoff as the Keydets, led by
middieguard Phil Upton, kept East
Carolina’s offense backed deep in their
own territory. Likewise, the East Carolina
defense performed well in preventing the
Keydets frorn scoring from the good field
position they had in the final quarter.
East Carolina ended the game
desperately with Weaver being sacked for
the seventh time by the Keydet defense at
his own three on fourth down.
VMI's Farry chose to end the game ina
sportsmanlike manner by falling on the
ball, instead of trying to run the score up
The outcome of the game gave the
Southern Conference a new champion. A
champion which is a worthy one - having
finished 5-1 in the conference and 7-4
overall. For the Pirates, the defeat brought
to a close a disappointing 7-4 season,
which seemed to decline following the
team’s heartbreaking 24-20 loss to North
Carolina State in the season’s fourth
game.
