approval to an expenditure of previously
allocated funds totalling $272.71 to pay for
radios and speakers that were installed in
the two campus buses recently.
Student transportation director Richard
Folsom had purchased the radios and
speakers during the Christmas break and
then had the two units installed in the
buses. believing he could pay for the
equipment out of the Transportation's
petty cash fund
is later decided that such petty
ash funds could not be used to purchase
the new equipment and Folsom was forced
toask the SGA to allocate the funds for the
music systems
Folsom, in explaining his action to the
SGA, presented a petition to the
egisiature containing over 420 names of
students wno supported a bill to pay for
Folsom urged the SGA to approve the
expenditure because the radios improved
the present bus system and were enjoyed
by the students
Several members of the SGA opposed
the Dill, though, on the grounds that the
proposal called for supporting something
an ‘after-the-fact” matter, noting that
the radios Nad already been installed.
After lengthy debate on whether the
radios would enhance the operation of the
system, the group voted to approve the

Workshop
called
‘the best’
By ALICE HANNIBAL
Dr. Charlies P. McDonaid, Associate
Professor of the Department of Political
Science and Criminal Justice, University of
Arkansas at Little Rock, called the Law
Enforcement Workshop heid at the ECU
Allied Health Center on Friday “The best
community relations in top-notch law
enforcement.”
James Campbell, ECU instructor in the
law enforcement area of the Department of
Social Services, said the workshop,
sponsored by the Department of Social
Work and Corrective Services, is the
second one of a series to be held weekly
until mid-February.
“New Programs in Community
Relations” workshop was attended by
representatives of civilian and military law
enforcement, community service, human
relations, ECU students in law
enforcement and Charlotte Observer
reporter Mike Swartz.
“Self-evaluation studies are heipful,
but sometimes it is considered better to
bring in consultants, as was done in
Kansas City,” said McDonaid.
“Universities are a rich source of
information and help,” McDonaid said.
“The Institute of Government, Chapel Hill,
is always available for service to all
branches of law enforcement’ in
North Carolina.”
McDonald said the sight of a policeman
doesn’t prevent a crime, as the criminal
just finds another location.
“We'd make a lot more hay if we'd
reduce our visibility and increase
effectiveness,” he said. “Citizens don't
want to see the police, but they want them
there when they need them.”
“The Town Fathers should be here,”
said a policeman who was directed to use
five men in a shopping district where three
could do an effective job. “Merchants had
complained of the reduction,” he said.
Actual cases were given to several
groups during the afternoon workshop.
Each had to decide how to handie specific
situations.
Law enforcement students from ECU
who attended were Bob Stagg, Jeff Muller,
Chuck Clodfeiter, Dade Sherman, Jackie
Shalicross and Gienda Pegram.
Participants came from Halifax and
New Hanover County, Roanoke Rapids,
Cary, Fayetteville, Raleigh, Durham,
Rocky Mount and Cherry Point.

City manager speaks to Sierra Club
By BECKY ROBINSON
Greenville City Manager Bill
Carstarphen encouraged citizen involve-
ment in city projects at a recent meeting of
the Sierra club
Carstarpnen spoke to the club about
the Green Mill Run channelization project.
“The project has been put on a back
said Carstarphen, in reference to
the vote by city council Jan. 9 to
temporar y suspend the project.
Carstarphen believes, however, the
oroiect is not completely dead because of
flood hazards that now exist.
The city manager's office believes the
jefeated plan proposed by the Army Corps
of Engineers was too elaborate and needed
morovement
“The Corps will probably not raise the

the city government might.”
“The city must initiate and enforce a
strong program to control development
within the flood plain to Qualify for federal
flood hazard insurance.’
Within the present Zoning ordinance is
a zone code for flood plains Boundaries
for this zone vary from a few feet for some
streams to about 100 feet for others.
“The Army Corps of Engineers is
working to define, scientifically and
correctly, the actual elevation of the flood
level at flood stages,” said Carstarphen
“The study is to be completed by June.”
This information will allow the city to
begin its enforcement program, according
to Carstarphen
“Those who think these enforced
ordinances are necessary should make
their feelings known,” he said.
Dr. Kirby Smith of the Duke Marine
Laboratories discussed the current
research on the ecological impact of the
Open Grounds Farms on sounds around
Beaufort.
The farm, owned by a large Italian
syndicate, currently is growing grain.
Future plans include the raising of stock
using the grain. What happens when
run-off from the farm's drainage ditches
enters shallow sounds in the area is a
question now being investigated by the
Duke Marine Laboratories, said Dr. Smith.
Manure and pesticides enter the
sounds from the farm ditches, Smith
said. More fresh water than usual pours
into the sounds.
“The fresh water seeped into the
sounds before,” said Dr. Smith. “With the
drainage ditches, the water pulses into the
sounds, disturbing juvenile shellfish and
shrimps.”
This study is mainly concerned with
the effect of fresh water pulses. An
analysis of the water surrounding the farm,
before the farm opened last spring, will
continue to determine the effects of these
fresh water pulses.
Farm personnel have cooperated fully
with the study
Dr. Smith said he does not know if an
Environmental impact Statement will be
needed after the study. He is prepared to
make a miniature impact statement.
In other business the club requested
volunteers for outing, membership and
conservation committees.
An outing to Matamuskeet for hiking
and bird-watching is planned for Feb. 1.
Car pools wil! leave at 9:30 from the First
Presbyterian Church, 410 Pitt St.
The next meeting will be Feb. 3 in the
basement of the First Presbyterian
Church.

A certain lady came to the house the other day demanding a rather startling amount of
money for support for two of her children. It seems that while you've been away from
home, your country isn’t the only thing you've been the father of! Therefore, dearest,
am seeing a lawyer tomorrow, (who I've been seeing for three months anyway), and plan
to take legal action. To use a popular phrase, I'll give you “liberty or death”. You can
keep the house and the cherry trees. All want is the china, the servants, and the stock
in Consolidated marble. And to think your mother told me that you never lied!

Dear Mr. Revere
It has come to our attention lately, through a number of complaints from our fair
citizenry, that at certain intervals you have taken it upon yourself to mount your horse
and dash through the streets of our little community shouting “The British are coming
the British are coming’. Mr. Revere, we certainly appreciate your enthusiasm for whom
ever you are working, but should like to request that any future announcements you may
Nave concerning a “coming event” be advertised in the customary way, on the bulletin
board outside the Courthouse. Can you imagine if everyone seeking publicity followed
your example? Nobody would get any Sleep! Besides, everyone knows the British are
here, where have you been?

parking plans
By JEANNA JOHNSON
Staff Writer
The Greenville City Council unani-
mously approved recommendations to
finance the Central Business District
Parking Program at its Nov. 7 meeting.
“The city plans to expand its off-street
parking facilities with a five-year program
which is part of its urban renewal
program,” said William H. Carstarphen,
the city manager
“We plan to begin with a two-year
program to see if our assumptions are
valid and the projected demand for
downtown parking exists.
“We then plan to continue with the
five-year program.”
NUMEROUS SOURCES
The city has various sources of
revenues available for the parking
program. They include the funds now
available in the City Parking Authority's
balance, the revenues from the parking
meters, unappropriated city general funds,
and general obligation bonds
“The Parking Authority suggested
various means of maximizing parking
revenues for the off-street parking
program,” said Catstarphen.
“One suggested improvement was
better maintenance and sufficient room in
the parking lots.
“Another improvement was making the
parking areas more attractive by installing
signs for visitors, bench areas, and
providing better lighting facilities
“Attractive parking areas wi! encour.
age more shoppers to patronize the
downtown stores.”
“Another method was the full-time
enforcement of parking meters Which
would mean charging for night parking
“Charging for night parking would be
intolerable,” said Valerie L. Hodges 4
student at East Carolina University (ECy)
“The only places opened at Night in
Greenville are the nightclubs geared to the
students,” said Hodges. “It would be
another way for the city to obtain more
revenue from the students.”
“The students at ECU are industrious’
said John R. Roney, one of the owners of
the Buccaneer Club. “They would find free
parking somewhere.”
“ would not pay to park in downtown
Greenville at night,” said Katherine J
Murphy, a student at ECU. “If it means not
going downtown, won't go downtown
“We are also considering a merchant
token system whereby the downtown
merchants purchase tokens from the
Parking Authority and give them to their
customers as a bonus for partonizing their
individual stores,” said Carstarphen
“The parking meters will be
programmed to accept the tokens and
money .”
The city’s objective is to beautify the
downtown area and to eventually eliminate
traffic there
“Any improvements to make the
downtown area more pleasing would
greatly benefit all the downtown
businesses,” said Roney

Dearest Father:
Methinks thou wert right about John after all. It seems that with marriage his
“condition” has only worsened. Ever since we moved to Boston he's been staying Out all
night long, (just about every night), with a group of fellas who cali themselves the “Sons
of liberty”. Can you imagine, GROWN MEN acting like that! The final straw occurred
two evenings ago though, when he came home from work and headed straight for the
bedroom where he proceeded to DRESS UP LIKE AN INDIAN! Mumbling and muttenng
all the while When pursued an explanation for his strange behavior, he just plucked 4
feather in his hair, giggled something about being late for a “tea party” and dashed madly
Out the door.
He is no joy to sleep with either. Why just last night he bolted upright in his sleep,
and at the top of his lungs shouted, (that all, including the neighbors might hear), “By
God, your're right Tom! Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness does have a nice ring 0
it!”
I'll tell you Father, if something doesn't give soon he's going to find himself “out with
the guys”permanently. And if he ever brings that weird little man named ae
(who follows me about the house issuing those stupid little proverbs) home again,
throw them both out!
And, boys and girls, that's the way it was, 200 years ago today

ECU students take to the slopes
Holidayski trip success despite conditions
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
Co-News Editor
The South's climate being what it is
rather warm and unsnowy), skiing is a
relatively New sport in this state. But it is
growing in popularity as shown by the
number of enthusiastic ECU » dents that
spent part of Christmas vacation in the
western part of the state.
The skiing trip was offered through the
PE Department for credit or just for
recreation Approximately 100 persons
n the ECU group joined about 12 other
schoo! groups at Appalachian Ski
Mountain for a week of instruction in the
French Swiss Ski College
PRE SKI PRACTICE
East Carolina has been represented at
the FSSC for the past three years but
according to Jo and Frank Saunders, ECU
faculty co-ordinators for the trip this year’s
7roup was the largest yet.
To prepare for the trip, students met
twice weekly the last couple of weeks
before Christmas break for exercise
sessions to strengthen muscles.
Once on the slopes though students
were left wondering how were those
exercises going to help with all that alien
feeling and looking equipment. Only time
and practical experience would help with
Warm rainy weather plagued the week
and on Sunday when the skiers arrived
they were faced with the discouraging
news that only the advanced siope was
open and that had large grassy spots.
To beginning skiers the advanced slope
could look formidable and comments
overheard on Monday and Tuesday went
something like this:
‘finally got in line and was thinking -
This is great, I'm standing up,’ and then
‘ell down and knocked three people over.”
' went whizzing down the hill and
everybody was probably thinking ‘Boy look
at him go he knows what he’s doing,’ when
ail the while was just out of control and
didnt Know how to stop.”
You ought to put me in the clown
class. ve fallen down every time.”
tha
TERROR ON THE TOW
anyone had overheard this reporter's
comment it would have gone, “I! caused a
'hree person pile up on the rope tow.”
That rope tow gave me problems ail
week The rope tow is an ordinary piece of
‘Ope drawn on a pully. The skier grasps

My wet gloves didn't help matters any

‘With Hurlean grips) could go On up.
"he second time tried the rope tow a
Sympathetic ski instructor helped by riding
behind me. But by Friday was
determined to master the rope tow and
tried it again, this time with dry gloves.
OVER THE HOLIDAY a group of ECU students posed for a picture at Appalachian Ski
Mountain.
First try this time made it about a third
of the way up and then fell. Encouraged
by this smal! amount of success tried it
again. This time went straight up until
reached the middie and began losing my
grip
As the rope started sliding through my
hands and slowed down the man behind
me on the tow rope started to overtake me
and began calling “watch out”.
My grip gave out completely, the man
behind me, the girl behind him slammed
into him and we had a three person pile up
on the rope tow.
Conditions on the slope got worse and
rumors at the New Years Eve party
Tuesday night were that the slopes may be
closed the next day.
Slopes weren't closed but the studerits
were given a choice of ice skating instead
of skiing. Sore muscles and bruises
welcomed the short vacation.
HERE COME D’COLD
Temperatures dropped low enough
Wednesday night for artificial snow to be
made. The next day morale on the slopes
picked up, lessons were more fun and
skiers fell down less.
r-
(CPSENS)-A first-year woman student at
Jersey City State College has received a
court-ordered eviction from her dormitory
room because she allegediy caused an
embarrassing commotion while her
roommate was making love.
Teresea Fernandez and her roommate
had apparently not been getting along very
well since they began living together last
September. The breaking point came
when Femandez entered her room with
several friends and discovered her
roommate in a compromising position
with a boyfriend.
Instead of leaving, “They just stood
there pointing their fingers and calling
names while the poor guy who was in bed
didn't know what to do,” said the dorm
supervisor during the court hearing.
School officials say that when
roommates don't get along it’s up to the
one with the least seniority to move
He got caughtwith

out. That would have been Fernandez, but
she steadfastly refused. Finally, school
officials took the matter to court, where an
eviction notice was issued.
As for the roommate, no action was
taken. Officials say there’s no “written
rule against fornication on campus.”
Tom Ford, instructor co-ordinator,
described the week and the students’
attitudes as “fantastic”.
According to Ford lessons were going
at the usual rate and skills tests on Friday
were going about normal.
“The a-level skiers are doing like a-level
skiers usually do and the b-level skiers are
doing like b-skiers.”
Ford listed the conditions as the worst
disadvantage of the week. But he didn’t
feel they had slowed down lessons much.
“The skiers this week are learning
faster than the skiers did last week and the
skiers the last week learned faster than the
skiers the week before.”
He attributed this to “dry-land
sessions” that had been heid through out
the week. During these dry land sessions
instructors had gone over basic skiing
pointers and exercises.
“ think what Jo and Frank Saunders
are doing is great,” Ford said in reference
to the exercise sessions held during the
weeks before Christmas vacation.
He stressed the importance of physical
fitness before learning to ski. Studies
have shown that persons in good physical
condition learn to ski quicker.
The siush on the slopes on Monday
through Wednesday turned to ice under a
few inches of artificial snow.
“The southern skier is the most
versatile skier anywhere. Conditions like
these are common in the South,” Ford
commented. “The southern skier never
knows what he wil! be skiing on.”
By Thursday and Friday comments
heard around the slopes ran something
like this:
“ went to the top of the advanced siope
and skied down. fell down three times
but made it.”
“ had a good instructor in class
today. really did learn a lot. You should
see me doing my turns now.”
And this reporters comment went
something like this:
“ finally made it all the way up the tow
rope.”
Conditions may not have been the best,
but the trip seems to have been a success
with most of the students. There is taik
around campus of a returm trip and
formation of a Ski Club.

Merchant of Venice: refreshing change
By JEFF ROLLINS
Staff Writer
The various attractions on campus help
Js to get through the dismal weeks
between Christmas and Spring. “The
Merchant of Venice” and “Women in Love”
presented in the same week will spoil us
for sure
What a refreshing change! From the
paltry existential Nandwringing
and intellectual mishmash of
Dream Play” to the real questions, the
real drama of Shakespeare. The best thing
to Nappen on campus in a long time, the
professionally presented “Merchant of
Venice” came off live, and fresh, and
sparkling with humor
The various comedic and tragic themes
of the play were given clearly. Hints of
modern technique were thrown for this
twentieth century audience. With Shake
speare universally acknowledged as the
best writer in the English language it is
easy to forget that his first audiences were
workers and trades-people, not college
educated intellectuals. The play ranges
from the sublime (“Let none presume to
wear an undeserved dignity’) to the
Elizabethan bawdy
Portia, Michele Frankenberg, though
weak in her first scene, soon became the
light of the show. She has a face cut of
CryStal, and voice that is warm and light. It
iS @asy to believe that “many Jasons come
in Quest of her.”
Jessica, Karen Ragland, was never
believable. Her sophomoric interpretation
and expression had no place on the Stage
with these other fine actors. She seemed
like a college freshman, “Ooooooh! I'm
playing SHAKESPEARE!” In several
scenes where she could have given
poignant expression of the conflict in her
between her father and her lover she was
Iry, amateuristic, and fell to really facile
tachnique
Jack Powell, playing several roles. was
superD. His adroitly handied comedic
actions and his boyish energy made him a
perfect Launcelot Gobbo. We laughed and
‘aughed at this, one of the funniest of
Shakespeare's great company of clowns.
S. Lockhart Fryer as the fopish Prince
of Aragon provided another intensely funny
scene
Ronald Klien's Shylock was Sensitively,
masterfully done. We were torn between
hatred of his hunger for justice in the form
of blood, and Sympathy for him of his loss
of money and daughter. We could almost
see his hair turning gray as the play
progressed, and Shylock’s great losses
took more and more toll of him. He was
splendid in the trial scene. How easy it is
to overact this scene. How glad we are
that he didn't
The set, done by Steven Rubin, had the
ability, characteristic of all good sets, to
disappear. A set must disappear as
“scenery” and become merely an idea, an
idea that blends almost imperceptibly with
the larger ideas of the script.
lt is @asy to forget sometimes that
Shakespeare's irony is a living, tingling
irony. Thank you Theatre Arts Committee
for reminding us. Again, “Merchant of
Venice” was the best thing to happen on
campus for a long time

Airport 75: entertaining
By JOHN EVANS
AIRPORT '75
Airport 1975 boasts an all-star cast of
fim celebrations which would normal ly
spell a big box-office hit.
in this case, however, three members
of the cast hold up the remainder of the
actors minor roles and bring to the screen
an exciting and dramatic film.
The three “stars of the stars” in Alnport
1975 are Karen Black, Chariton Heston,
and George Kennedy. They succeed,
through their rules, in successfully
carrying on an all-too familiar plot and
converting in into a thorough success.
Ms. Black is the star of the show as
Nancy. the pretty senior stewardess who is
thrust into a heroine's role after the 747 jet
she iw working on collides with a private
olane. The collision kills two of the three
“raw members and leaves the captain
ynable to fly the plane. This leaves the
stewardess faced with an unwelcomed
crisis - she must fly the plane herself.
Ms. Black's performance is excellent
and should help bring her more miajor
roles, not the supporting roles she has
handied in several earlier film successes
‘ike Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider.
Three factors complicated the normally
weak story line. First, aboard the plane is
a young girl who is flying to Los Angeles
for a kidney transplant, her condition is
good - but nevertheless this dilemma is
meant to add suspense to the plot.
Linda Blair (the possessed child in The
Exorcistadds more to this role than there
really is and her smiling face shows that,
indeed, she has been successfully
snatched from Satan's grasp.
The other two parallel stories concem
Heston and Kennedy.
Heston portrays Allan Murdock, the
airline company's chief pilot trainee, who
eventually comes to the rescue of the
harnied 747. A cute twist makes Murdock

Homosexual
scholarship
started
(CPS-CUP)An anonymous donor at Sir
George Williams University in Montreal,
Ontario, has set up what's believed to be
the first college scholarship fund
exclusively for homosexuals
The $200 annual grant will be awarded
to a male or female homosexual who
shows outstanding distinction in his or her
junior year.
Financial Aid officer Freda Haffey said
that to qualify for the award, applicants
must simply fill out a form. However, as
with other scholarships at the university,
the forms must also be signed by the
applicant's parents.
Applicants must state in the
application forms that they are
homosexuals. “After all,” said Haffey,
“we aren't going to have tests.”

Editorials‘;Commentary
When the sun shines bright —
Recession, inflation, unemployment, the times seem pretty dismal. For this
generation of working people and college students times have never been so rape og
tact, unemployment rates and recessional tendencies have not been this high since
a time most of us remember solely from history books and parental nostalgia.
But it hit last year, and with such impact that even the isolated utopian atmospheres
of college campuses were visibly shaken. Graduates continue to pour out by the eager
thousands each year - and where are they going?
According to the latest nationwide survey by the College Placement Council,
employers estimate hiring 4 percent fewer graduates this year than in 1974, and the '74
figures were down
College degrees don't give much insurance against unemployment today. The CPC
says there are plenty of jobs for engineering graduates but for ninety percent of the class
of ‘75, not majoring in that field, the aspect is dark
Even so, in days like these it is even more vital to retain an optimistic Or at least
pragmatic outlook. !t's hard to make a go of living right now and by most predictions it's
going to get harder. Yet giving up, rioting, panicing, cause only more chaos and
discontent. Rather, when the going gets rough around you it's best to look for a better
place a place in the sun (or at least out of the rain)
The U.S. Department of Labor lists over 40,000 job titles. A great many of these
Jescriptions are not over-crowded at all. In fact, there are still openings for people,
especially youth, who, with a bit of imagination and creative optimism can tum them into
fulfilling activities
For example, the ranchers in sheep herding states, like Colorado, are crying for
shepherds to tend their pasturing flocks for the spring and summer months — at salaries
around $10,000. For young people of intellect, tired of the mind-boggling details around
them, a bit of solitude in the magnificent Rockies with a lump like $10,000 a shot to make
ife a little sweeter a little longer, is nothing to snort
According to the January 20 issue of Newsweek, th. Midwest and Great Plains Farm
Belt “has kept from suffering unduly when times are vad.” Cities like Dallas, with its
variation of job opportunities, still swings like ii always has. And we could not fail to
note that Oak Ridge, Tenn that remote mountain patch where the “US Government
secretly created a few installations (namely the Atomic Energy Commission)stil!
prospers, Says Newsweek. Why, in Witchita, Kansas, Newsweek reports that “not only
are there jobs for anybody who wants to work, but employers are having difficulty finding
enougn skilled workers to fill new jobs.”
So the answer, or at least suggestion, seems to be to look, keep looking and make
yourself flexible for what there is to find
Bemoaning the fact that “times are hard and getting worse fast”, will take us
absolutely nowhere. If you are facing graduation shortly, go out of here with an open
MING and determination to find a way to keep yourself happy. If college is still new to
yOu, t might be worth your while to check into some of the more obscure of the 40,000
listed jobs
f all else fails and you intend to give in anyway, think on this 2 act for future hopes;
competition strengthens and demands more quality. Meaning, with fewer jobs, those
Sti!l working are being forced to tighten up, thereby creating a more efficient labor
force. That alone offers encouragement if you are looking for some.

No Watergate
Ford tightens up
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - President Ford has
laid down the law to his subordinates that
he won't permit the slightest taint of
Watergate in his Administration.
He has ordered them to avoid even the
appearance of wrongdoing. And any
illegal conduct or conflict of interest, he
has warned, will be prosecuted.
The power of the presidency, he has
pointed out, has been weakened by
Watergate. This is a political reality, he
nas told them, which will require a
different attitude in the White House.
Therefore, he wants his subordinates
to cooperate with Congress. He also
doesn't want them throwing their weight
around, the way former President Nixon's
aides did. And he simply won't tolerate
influence peddling.
This message is now emphasized to
each new appointee. As President Ford
has put it privately, his policies may be
questioned but not his ethics.
Meanwhile, the Watergate investi-
gations are far from finished. The special
prosecutors are still digging into several
Watergate-related cases, ranging from the
ITT to the milk bribery cases.
Former Treasury Secretary John
Connally has already been indicted for
bribery. His trial is scheduled to start on
March 26
The prosecutors aren't through
investigating illegal campaign contri-
butions. They have also uncovered
evidence which contradicts the testimony
of President Nixon's closest friend, Bebe
Rebozo. He swore that he kept the
$100,000-cash gift from billionaire Howard
Hughes in a safe deposit box. But the
prosecutors believe he passed out the cash
to Nixon's secretary and family.
They are trying to find out, too. who
was responsible for the famous 18-minute
gap in a crucial White House tape and who
ordered the backdating of a deed to help
Nixon escape paying his full taxes.
Even the battle of the tapes is stil!
continuing. The prosecutors are demand
ing More tapes and documents, which they
want as evidence in the pending cases
But Nixon has filed a lawsuit to keep those
tapes from the prosecutors
Cheating the VET: During his
Christmas skiing vacation in Colorado,
President Ford quietly vetoed a bil! that
would have increased expense a!owances
for government workers.
One part of the legislation would nave
permitted veterans who visit Veterans
Administration hospitals for medical
attention to receive greater compensation
for travel expenses.
The little-noticed measure was
specifically designed to eliminate 4
long-standing disparity in the mileage
rates. At the moment, the VA pays
veterans only 8 cents per mile, while
government workers can claim 12 cents per
mile. The Internal Revenue Service,
meanwhile, allows business to decuct up
to 15 cents per mile.
The White House maintains that the
increase would be inflationary But our
own sources insist that the higner
allowance would cost no more than
million annually.
President Ford wants another $300
million to bail out South Vietnam. But Ne
can't seem to find the money to help the
disabled veterans who fought there
Money Matters: Many of Presiden
Ford's economic advisers fear that his t&
rebate plan might backfire and plunge the
nation into an even deeper recession
If the rebate does allow a family to get 4
few dollars ahead, say the experts, 't 'S
likely the money will be saved rather than
spent. The economy would then remain
stagnant, but the federal treasury would be
depleted by $16 billion.
Despite the criticism, the Presider”

Athletics
To Fountainhead
It seerns all too obvious to a large
number of ECU students and athletes that
the present athletic and academic
administration has grossly misused
student funds once again this year. In the
school administration's quest for national
recognition in sports (rather, sport) which
will allow them to demand more money
from the state, it seems many other
interests are no longer important.
Take a look at “our’ Student Weight
Room. For a university of 12,000 people,
the room is a disgrace. The last time
anything was added to the weight room
was when we were generously given an old
universal gym, a discard from the football
program. If you want to use the Olympic
Bar, (there is only one), you only have a
25-40 minute wait. Of course, an
additional bar only costs $95, but then
when the school and state appropriates
over half a million dollars for the football
program, you can't expect them to save
any for the students, after all, who are
they, anyway?
must Say a sincere thank you to Coach
Orgel on the football staff. He has very
kindly allowed several of the more serious
lifters to use the football team’s weight
room. find it unbelievable that a group of
50 football players and staff can ask for
and receive five new Olympic Bars and
benches, yet for three years, the athletic
dept and the administration have been
deaf to innumerable requests by students
for one $95 Olympic Bar. The students
have made requests, many by me
personally.
There are all sorts of other
discrepances in the administrations
priorities. There are 50 or so people
playing football; the program receives over
one half million dollars for lights and
equipment. Yet, the administration can't
find $6,000 to support the crew team which
had more than 50 students actively
participating. Unbelievable!
Now, to top this off, there’s two signs
hanging on the Student’s Weight Room
door. One says “Reserved for the Baseball
team” for half an hour e day in the
afternoon, and the other says, “Reserved
for a P.E. class”, an hour every Tuesday
and Thursday. What can you expect? The
people who approved these intrusions on
the Students Rights have to protect their
two-legged investments toward national
recognition. So, maybe the students
should leave and let the “special interest
groups” work out Maybe the adminis-
tration is happy. Let them pretend they've
done a good job.

Student government
Appropriations, ins, outs
As this years’ Student Government AssociationAppropriations Committee
Chairman, have become aware of one fundamental problem in the relations between
students and their student representatives, governmental procedure. Most students who
want to initiate a proposal to their student government just simply don’t know how to go
about doing it, and even after introduction they don’t understand the process a proposed
bill must go through to become binding. have seen many instances of bewilderment
and misunderstanding occur because of this lack of communication and therefore,
would like to take this opportunity to give the students a short course in the sometimes
complicated SGA rules.
First, if you have some type of proposal you would like brought before the SGA, get in
touch with a legislator. All bills must be introduced by a member of the SGA. If you
don't know a member of the SGA, come up to their office on the second floor of
Mendenhall Student Center someone will surely be able to help you. All legislature
meetings are 5:00 p.m. on Mondays, but don't think that once a bill is introduced it will
be acted upon that day because that is just not the truth. Generally, a bill that is
introduced one Monday will not come before the entire legislative body unti! at least the
following Monday. In the meantime it must go before a committee and that is where the
Appropriations Committee comes in. All proposals dealing with any sort of
appropriation must first be studied by this committee, other committees deal with such
things as judicial problems, rules and student affairs. But due to the large monetary
powers delegated to your SGA, the bulk of our business deals with outlays of money.
The committee meeting is where the main student input shouid be directed, this is where
much of the information about the proposals is gathered ad where needed changes are
made. All committee meetings are open and you need only io contact me or any other
committee chairman to find out the whens and wheres.
This year's Appropriations Committee conceives its duty as gathering as much
information as possible about a proposed bill, so that we can present it in the best
possible way to the entire SGA. We invite all relevant persons, whether students or
administrators, to our meetings, or at least interview them. We try to reflect the,
prevailing student opinion on certain subjects, which is why it’s so vital that the student
come to us if he has some thoughts on these matters. We will never know unless you tell
us. We try to give everyone a fair hearing but sometimes due to the compiex problems of
the legislation or the far reaching precedents it may seem that we only deal in trivialities.
It may be true but we are not paid administrators and we know of no way of getting to the,
facts about a bill except for asking those involved. If we feel a proposal merits the!
expenditure of student funds we will report to the legislature favorably, thus giving It al
clear path to the floor. If we feel the bill is unworthy, we can report It unfavorably and
thus make it hard for the bill to be considered by the entire legislature or we can amend "
to more closely reflect the students’ needs as we see them.
The SGA Appropriations Committee is the financial watchdog for your SGA funds.
Our job goes only as far as the students allow it. We vote as one person only as long as
we have no input from you. Contact us, let us know what’s on your mind, we solicit your!
comments.
Sincerely,
Doug Benton
SGA Appropriations Committee Chairman
SGA bus
To Fountainhead : jucky and must resort to their thumb or
legs.
When the bus is sidelined due to
mechanical repairs, find this a good
excuse. must comment, though, that if
any of these repairs are due to a wom
clutch, this is the fault of a couple of
drivers who show no knowledge of proper
clutch operation. Another unsatisfactory
excuse would be transporting students to
a football game (to mention a fall quarter
example). pay my fees solely to support
transportation to and from school.
Perhaps the answer is the acquisition
of a third bus, thereby permitting a
schedule of two buses running and one
bus being overhauled or used for some
other reason: would support such a
proposal. At any rate, Mr. Folsom, let the
beat go on.
Attention: Richard Folson, S.G.A.
Transportation Sec.
Being a frequent user of the S.G.A.bus

May give you my total support to the

often would have the privilege to enjoy it.
The only problem with the transit
system is its lack of dependability. Too
often this year, we riders have been
subjected to an eight o'clock, hastily-
taped note on the time schedule that
informs us the bus will not travel its
appointed rounds. It causes me to mutter

ECU Biology professor
receives 6,000 grant
By JIM KYLE
Staff Writer
Or Charles E. Bland of the ECU
Biology Department has been awarded a
grant to study the use of fungi in the
control of coastal mosquitoes.
The grant, totalling $6,264, was given
by the North Carolina Board of Science
and Technology. It will finance Bland’s
research through 1975.
The research deals with the fungus
coelomomyces, a natural parasite of the
mosquito in the coastal waters of North
Carolina. This fungi infests and kills larval
mosquitoes and may be used to control
them
Research last year in this field by Bland
ded mainly the coastal waters around
Beaufort. The project's headquarters were
set up at the Duke University Marine
Laboratory there. Bland said this year he
plans to study the whole coast of North
Carolina
Bland is working in cooperation with
Dr J.N. Couch of the botany department
at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Couch, at one time Bland’s
professor, is working with mosquito fungi
of fresh-water mosquitoes.
If research proves favorable, colonies
of coelomomyces could be introduced into
coastal waters to control mosquitoes.
Bland is also working on research
which deals with fungi in marine
crustaceans
This work started with the study of
fungi in the blue crab of North
Carolina. Now it includes shrimp, lobster
and other crustaceans.
The research is funded by the UNC Sea
Grant Program, which includes state and
federal funds. Bland has been working on
it since he came to ECU six years ago.
Bland said the research is assisting
commercial growers of shrimp, lobster and
crabs in California, Oregon and Texas. He
is trying to find ways of controlling fungi
in the larvae of these animals.
Bland has already discovered a
chemical which will work in preventing the
growth of one species of fungi. Although
it would be impossible to use this
chemical for control in a natural situation,
Non-poverty students
ineligible for food stamps
CPS)-On January 10, new regulations
went into effect prohibiting college
students over 18 from receiving food
stamps if they are listed as tax dependents
a household not eligible for the stamps.
The action was the latest step in a
struggie that has gone on for several years
) an attempt to curb the use of food
stamps by students who come from
non-poverty families, but whose personal
incomes are small enough to qualify them
for the stamps.
1 1971, Congress passed a rider on
(nat year's Agriculture Appropriations bill
forbidding food stamp assistance to
college households if any person living
'nere was ineligible. But the provision was
successfully challenged in court and never
went into effect.
This year, Congress again took the
Nitiative
Angered by articles in the Chicago
oun-Times describing food starnp abuse
by Students from non-poverty families,
Rep John Anderson (R-Iil.) introduced the
‘rent regulation barring stamp use by
‘ax dependents of ineligible families.
The provision was added to the
“grculture Appropriations Bill this
‘mer, and would have become law in
‘QuSt Dut for former President Nixon's
veto. of «the «appropriations bill as
‘lationary.” The revised bill, signed
law by President Ford on Dec. 31,
‘etained the Anderson rider,
“owever, as a result of the Nixon veto,
‘ne USDA consulted its general counsel
‘NO determined that it had the power to
sue regulations barring the use of food
‘'aMps by ineligible tax dependents
“i"Nout the help of Congress. So although
© New regulation will only be law until
en June 30, the USDA will continue
‘orcement of the provision indefinitely
A
Fortunately for some, the regulation
does have a loophole.
Ordinarily, a student who receives
more than haif his income from his parents
is properly listed as a dependent on his
parents’ income tax retum. If, however,
his parents don't claim him as a
dependent, even though they contribute
more than half of his financial support,
that student is still eligible for food
stamps. In fact, any students who are not
tax dependents or who are tax dependents
but their parents are also eligible for food,
stamps, are not affected by the new
regulations.
According to Sue McAndrews , USDA
food program specialist, the new
regulations will not be implemented until
March at the earliest.
The delay is due to the fact that state
governments, which administer the food
stamp program locally, have 60 days to
write their own regulations to conform to
the new federal directives. McAndrews
expected a number of states will ask for
additional time, which will delay
implementation in those areas even
further.
Once implemented, the regulation will
immediately affect only students applying
for food stamps. Students already in the
food stamps program will continue to
receive stamps until it is time for them to
reapplyabout every three months for
most households
So all ineligible persons will eventually
be weeded out, but no one currently
receiving stamps should lose them until
April, and in some areas early summer.
McAndrew said that the federal
government has no idea how many
students will be affected by the new
regulation

President Ford's expressed desire to make
food stamps more expensive is evidence
that the executive branch of the federal
jovernment is probably not prepared to
jeal effectively with the hunger crisis
fact. would assume that the
federal government is attempting to make
thing worse for the poor and

seems that the ‘welfare restrictiveness’
typical of the post-war period and the

Cloward concentrated his discus-
n the hunger crisis on the group of
welfare recipients known as AFDC families
Aid to Families with Dependent Children)
4s opposed to recipients who cannot work
because of infirmity or age. The typical
AFDC family includes four persons, whose
adult members are marginally empioyed or
not employed at all
He quoted statistics on the number of
families who have received AFDC benefits
since the creation of the welfare categories
by the Social Security Act of 19385.
1940, only 365,000 poor families in
America were receiving AFDC benefits,
and by 1950, the number of AFDC families
totaled 635,000. A leveling-off occurred
during the fifties. so that by 1960, there
were only 745,000 AFDC families.
in 1965 a sharp rise in the number of
AFDC recipients began which culminated
in a total of 3,000,000 in 1970.
These figures might indicate that
there was no serious hunger problem in
the years between 1940 and 1960, but this

Labor Department figures traditionally

out of the labor force because they became
discouraged, those who are ‘sub
employed’ at marginal wages and those
who are Only sporadically employed.”
According to a late sixties survey by
the new Five-measure Composite Index,
fully one-third of the nation’s urban
sium-dwellers were in sub-employment,
he said, noting that as many as fifty or
sixty percent of these people may be
sub-employed today.
s ‘to worsen
“Relief systems as they have usually
operated are not truly beneficial,” said Dr.
Cloward. “Often they actually do
everything possible to avoid giving help to
those who need it, and consequently drive
the poor into more abject poverty.
“Exclusionary welfare laws such as
residency requirements, ‘employable’
status (which does not consider the
availability of jobs), circumstances oi birth
and requirement of extensive document-
ation — birth certificates and marriage
licenses — which are difficult for illiterate
persons to obtain cause numerous people
in dire need to be classified ineligible for
relief.
“Because of these restrictions, hungry
people in need of welfare assistance are
forced into marginal employment with
no job security and mininal wages. Adults
of both sexes and sometimes even
children are thrust into labor exploitation.
“In addition to actual restrictions, lack
of public information services in most
welfare agencies prevents potential AFDC
recipients from even knowing whether or
not they might be eligibie,” said Dr.
Cloward.
“The reason for the sharp rise in AFDC
recipient families in the late sixties was
simply the attitude among the victims of
the hunger crisis. During the Eisenhower
years and before, the poor simply
acquiesced silently and accepted their
condition. But in the mid-sixties, the civil
rights movement brought forth more
discontent and surging anger on the part
of low-income people, particularly in the
large northern cities.”
Dr. Cloward also attributes the rise to
the work of the National Welfare Rights
Organization and to such Kennedy and
Johnson administration anti-poverty
programs as VISTA.
“But it was chiefly civil disorder, anger,
and militancy which brought about the
increased availability of welfare benefits.
Unfortunately, welfare departments do not
respond to economic needs; they respond
instead to public pressure.”
Dr. Cloward said the social work
profession must beware of being swayed
to such proposed alternatives to outright
aid as welfare “services,” including
rehabilitation and job training programs.
“These services might be helpful to
some, but the hunger crisis is the real
probiem.
“We in America believe that peopie
shouldn't be on relief. don’t believe they
should either. But believe even less that
they should starve, and in the absence of
decent wages and sufficient jobs, the relief
system is necessary to deal with the
problem of hunger among millions of
lower-income families.”

Ms. Geiger grew up in Germany and
belonged to the Hitler Youth. After this

She came to America in 1950 and

Of particular concern to Ms. Geiger is

“The tragedy here is that none of the

Sports Editor
East Carolina University’s swim team,
hampered by the loss of their top diver,
and swimming below par, was badly
beaten Saturday in a meet against
Maryland, 70-43
Capturing only one individual! event and
the opening 400-mediey relay, the Pirates
Saw an early 24-19 lead disappear into a
40-30 deficit in the period of three events
Similar to last weekend's loss to North
Carolina, the Pirates were swept from the
top two places in the 100-freestyle event
The one-two finish by Maryland and the
poor showing in the diving events were the
big factors in the Pirates’ downfal!
ECU coach Ray Scharf commented on
the 100-‘reestyle as a turning point in the
meet
Much like in last week's meet, they
Ne-two d us in the 10C-free and that hurt.’
Also 2 big factor in the meet was the
e formanc2 of Maryland’s Matt
Gienn in the 1,000, £00, and 200-freestyie
Die@®wir Der
eV The three firsts were Glenn's top
perforn ances of the yer and gave the
Terrapins three of four first-place finishes
ne freestyle events
The loss of diver Jim Burden was a
sibie mental letdown to the Pirates
Burden, the Bucs’ top diver, herniated a
JiSC IN warmups and was unable tc Nelp
the Pirates in either civing event, where
Maryland took 16 of a possible 18 points
too much of an advantage for the East
Carolina swimmers to offset
6 igs 4
WU Giving coach Jack Morrow
commented on Burden's injury before the
meet
yim Nerniated a disc in practice and
41d De lost for three to four weeks,” said
Morrow. “He had a good chance of
winning and we were counting on his
presence. The doctor recommends he not
dive, Dut that will be up to him.”
Burden did try competing in the
one-meter event, but the injury was too
severe for Burden to offer much. Burden
left the meet following the one-meter event
and did not dive in the three-meter event
lf Burden’s injury should sideline him
for an extended period, it will put a great
deal of pressure on ECU's other diver, Don
House
House, a senior, iS a converted
breastroker. He has been diving for only
three weeks, but Morrow said he was
making good progress.
“Don has been doing a real good job so
far,” said Morrdw. “he's only been diving
for three weeks, but he is improving each
week .”’
On House's two third-ptace finishes
against Maryland, Morrow commented,
‘He did well on the low board, but the high
board is not his event yet.”
Despite Burden’s injury, coach Scharf
Still said the team performance was not as
good as it should have been.
‘We did not do the job on the short
distances,” said Scharf. “That turned the
meet around. Overall, we did not do as
well as we should have done.”
Scharf said the team “choked” against
Maryland and the meet next Saturday with
John Hopkins would “give us a chance to
see what kind of tearn we have after
choking to Maryland.”
East Carolina opened the meet with a
varsity record performance in the 400
mediey relay. The 3: 37.4 time turned in by
the team of Gary Pabst, David Kirkman.
Mike Bretting and John McCauley was
good for first-place.
In the next two events, the 1,000 and
200 freestyle events, Maryland's Glenn
dominated the events while ECU placed
second and third for a 15-10 lead.
The 50-freestyle event found McCauley,
who had swam the anchor leg on the relay
team, winning ECU's only outright
individual title. ECU led 20-14.
Lady cagers win two
East Carolina's Women's Basketball
team officially opened their 1975 season
last weekend with a 2-1 showing in a
three-game series playin in Chapel Hill
The Lady Pirates were ied by Sheilah
Cotton, who scored 62 points in three
games, and Susan Manning, 40 rebounds
in three games
in the opening game on Friday night,
the Lady Pirates defeated Western
Carolina 74-67 Winning their second
game of the year, the women had to hold
off a WCU rally for the win after leading at
the half by 39-30
However, using good shooting and
board play, the ECU squad pulled to a
20-point lead before Western rallied to as
close as five late in the game
The Pirates’ domination of the
backboards, with Manning grabbing 18
ebounds and Lu Ann Swaim grabbing 15,
proved to be the difference giving the
women the all-important second and third
try at the basket
Saturday found the Lady Pirates
Spitting a pair of games to put their
season record at 3-1.
The Bucs’ first game found the ladies
defeating the defending State Championa
from Elon College, 69-63, before the girls
lost their first game of the season to North
Carolina, 69-50
Against Elon, the ladies outscored
their opponents, 37-28 in the second half
to win the game.
Sheilah Cotton was the ECU team’s
leading scorer for the game with a hefty 29
points and was supported by Swaim, who
put 20 points through the ropes.
Against Carolina, the girls fell behind
at the half by 38-28. The second half
strength which had been there in the first
two games failed to bring the team back,
as the girls fell, 69-50, to the Tar Heel
ladies
In the game, Swaim led the losers with
19 points, with Cotton scoring 14. Susan
Manning added to her healthy rebound
total with 16 rebounds, tops for the
Pirates
The Lady Bucs now travel to Madison
College on Friday for their next contest
AAT ANU CE
Pabst and Ronnie Schnell placed
two-three in the 200-mediey to put ECU up
24-19, going to the onemeter dive
In the one-meter diving event,
Maryland's John Wolsh dominated the
field as his teammate, Tom Killian, placed
second. Neither the injured Burden or
House were up to par, but House did
manage a third-place finish.
After placing second and third in the
200 butterfly, the Bucs were swept under
the run in the 100-freestyle when the
Terrapins placed one-two to take the lead
for good at 40-30.
Gary Pabst managed a first-place tie in
the 200 backstroke, but Glenn's third win
of the day in the 500 freestyle and Wolsh’'s
second win of the meet in the three-meter
dive sewed up the meet for Maryland.
House was awarded third-place in the
three-meter dive behind Maryland's Terry
Schrider, the only woman Participant in
the meet.
Scharf said Maryland's Gienn made a
big difference with his Back-to-back wins
in the 1,000 free and the 200-free
“Glenn's performance made a big
difference,” said Scharf. “We swam fairly
weil, but we did not come through as a
team. We just weren't tough enough.”
ECU meets VMI at home Monday
afternoon and a tough Johns’ Hopkins
squad at home Saturday. The Hopkins
meet will be a big test for the Bucs to win,
if they are to bounce back from Saturday's
disappointing loss to Maryland

Power turned to putty last Wednesday
night when East Carolina's Pirates met the
basketball squad from Appalachian State
Heavily favored, the Pirates floundered
to a 78-68 win before 3,900 East Carolina
home fans
For the Pirates, the game was
disappointing considering the team’s fine
performance in five preceding games, but
as East Carolina coach Dave Patton
remarked after the game, “It was better to
play bad and win, than play bad and lose.”
Those spectators who c.ume expecting
East Carolina to walk to an easy victory
were set Straight early in the game when
ASU jumped to a shortlived 18-16 lead.
The Pirates came back to take the lead
at 31-26, but Appalachian rallied again to
take a 36-33 lead just before the half.
The Apps advantage through most of
the half was due largely to a 21-14
rebouding edge and the play of center
Kenny Baughman, who contributed 16 first
half points to the ASU cause.
According to ASU coach Press
Maravich this is as far as the Mountaineers
ever came.
“We played even with them in the first
half, but they just overpowered us in the
second haif
“The rebounding was too much. East
Carolina kept getting the second and third
shots and that is what beat us.”
For Maravich the Apps’ 1-11 season has
been dismal. But, the Apps’ performance
Wednesday was, to him, typical of the
teams’ season play.
“We played well in the first half and
poorly in the second half,” said
Maravich. “This is the way it has been all
season for us.”
In the second half, the Pirates ran off
an opening 196 spurt to break the 40-40
halftime deadlock and move into a 59-46
lead. From this point, the Bucs never led
by less than nine or more than 13.
In the second half, Pirates Larry Hunt
and Gregg Ashorn came untracked and led
the Pirates to the lead. It was the Apps
control of Hunt in the first half, zero points
and only four rebounds, which was a big
factor in the first half play for both teams
“Larry got knocked loose from the
basketball! a lot,” said Patton. “This was a
bad game for Larry.”
ASU coach Maravich commented that
Hunt's poor play was no accident
“We wanted to take away their strong
inside game and we did in the first half.”
said Maravich. “We didn't count on them
shooting so well from the outside Their
shooting was the difference in the second
half.”
East Carolina only shot 35 percent in
the second half, but Hunt improved well
enough to finish with eight points and 11
rebounds.
After the Pirates extended their jead to
the widest margin at 69-56, Baughman
fouled out and ASU never again had 4
chance.
Appalachian managed to Outscore EQU
11-8 the rest of the way, but the 78-68 final
left the Apps too short.
“It was not an artistic success, but It
still can be put in the left-hand column,
was Patton's closing comment after the
game was over.
Press Maravich saw the game i 4
different light.
“We put out the best we could for our
personnel, but we just made too many
mistakes and they were just too deep for
us.”
Kenny Edmonds finished as high Pirate
scorer with 15 points, 11 in the opening
half. Ashorn finished with 14 and Bob
Geter collected ten points and 1!
rebounds. Baughman finished with 22
points to pace Appalachian.
For East Carolina, Wednesday's game
was another of those garnes where they
were lucky to win and the games, too, 9°
into the formation of a winning season.
East Carolina stood 8&4 following
the Appalachian carne.

The Pirates commanded a steady lead,
until a power failure caused a 22 minute
break in play. When play resumed, ECU
umped ahead slightly and the two teams
traded baskets. At the end of the first
half however, the Pirates found
themselves facing a four-point deficit.
The slouchy William and Mary offense
mustered enough hustle to go from 3
points down, two minutes before the half,
to 4 points up at the gun. Jim McDonough

jumper as time ran Out
The 28-24 score is testimony to the fact

the official stat sheet. The player wants to

respect

Braman, “but as far as figuring things
