Vainwright, Assistant Business Manager,
reported.
Vainwright noted, “The laundry
peration is a business, a self-supporting
'unction of the University. Because the
iundry functions as a business, the law of
Supply and demand operates. When there

University support,” Vainwright continued.
“The North Carol, 1a State Legislature
lists the university laundry service as an
auxiliary enterprise of the university. This
is the same way the dorms, cafeteria,
Student Union, Student Supply Store and
the Print Shop are listed. They are
businesses, and as such the operate under
the revenue they produce. If they don't
show a profit, then they fold,” Vainwright
added.
“These business operations pay for
their utilities, salaries, everything except
building rental. in the case of the laundry
service there wasn't enough money to
off-set these costs and break even.

LINE FORMED EARLY: The line of students Interested in going on the Student Union
Travel Committee trip to Florida formed in the wee hours of last Thursday moming.
Some students showed up as early as 3 a.m. to secure one of the 46 seats available on
the trip. Students showing up at 3 a.m. had a seven hour wait until 10 a.m. when slots on
the bus went for sale. With such a long wait ahead, students tried to get as comfortable
as possible sacking out on the student union floor.
New programs aids sc
professionals, all of whom are trained to
deal with specific areas in the Center's
operation.
Basically, the Center is dedicated to
help North Carolina’s school do the best
possible job of educating its children
within the framework of total desegre-
gation, a situation which has been difficult
for many students and teachers to accept.
The Center offers assistance to school
personnel in their own school settings or
at other locations, in the form of
workshops, seminars, conferences, con-
sultation and demonstration. in all cases
help is given to those school systems or
state Department of Public instruction
regions who request it, through a
superintendent's office.
“A request for help in advancing the
desegregation process through education-
al improvement may originate from an
individual teacher, or group of teachers, or
from a school principal. It is relayed to us
through the local superintendent, and we
then study their needs and try to offer aid
in the solution of their problems,” said Dr.
Downing.
He added that ECU always coordinates
its services with other agencies which
serve the school systems, such as
colleges and universities, campus
desegregation institutes, drug action
programs, human resources and mental
health institutes, and with the N.C. Dept.
of Public Instruction.
“The only General Assistance Center in
ceieatibialbeiaads
hools
the state, however, is ours here at ECU, so
we are committed to serve the entire
State.”
While some programs sponsored by
the GAC are designed for supervisors,
superintendents, board of education
members and others directly or indirectly
involved with the process of education, ali
such prograrns are structured to have a
direct bearing on what goes on in the
Classroom, said Dr. Downing.
“An important area of service offered
by the GAC is improvement of
communication and interpersonal re
lationships,” said Dr. Cobie.
“What we are dealing with in the total
desegregation of schools is the unique
probiem encountered by persons of two
races who have for so many years lived
near each other but have been cut off by
their respective cultures.

Sigma TauDelta meet set here
By PATSY HINTON
Assistant News Editor
East Carolina University will host the
1975 Southern Regional Convention of
Sigma Tau Delta National Honor Society in
English March 20-23.
ECU's Omicron Theta chapter of Sigma
Tau Delta, sponosred by Dr. Douglas J.
McMillan, has planned the event. Approx-
imately 75-100 delegates are expected
from 45 southern chapters. The national
officers of Sigma Tau Delta are also
coming.
The highlight of the convention will be
a banquet at the Ramada inn with Ovid
Williams Pierce, ECU’s novelist in
residence, as the speaker. Mr. Pierce has
written several successful books including
THE DEVIL'S HALF, ON A LONESOME
PORCH, THE PLANTATION, and his
latest, THE WEDDING GUEST.
ERA: Tobe ornotto be
By TRACY APPLE
CPS-Mrs. Hilma Skinner is proud of her
cooking. So proud, in fact, that she
recently baked dozens of chocolate chip
cookies, wrapped them carefully in small
plastic baggies and shuttled them down to
the Colorado State Capital where they were
distributed to each of the state legislators.
Her goal: to soften up the state
legislature so it will rescind its approval of
the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), an
amendment that proposes to nulify laws
that treat men and women differently.
Mrs. Skinner is part of a national anti-ERA
irive that is locked in struggle with ERA
proponents.
So far, the ERA side is winning. The
proposed amendment has been ratified by
4 states, four short of the necessary 38
States to make it part of the U.S.
onstitution. This gap may soon be filled,
ERA backers have predicted and point to
‘our statesillinois, Missouri, North
Carolina) and Oklahomaas likely
prospects for favorable action.
Anti-ERA lobbying, however, has paid
ff Two of the 34 pro-ERA states,
Nebraska and Tennessee, have since
rescinded their previous approvals. Al-
‘hough there has been some doubt about
‘ne legal validity of such action, Mrs.
Skinner and her friends have bet their
cookies on more reversals which will
Nopefully bury the ERA movement.
The ERA controversy has revolved
around several key arguments. The
following is a synopsis of both sides of the
conflict, and is based on statements and
‘iterature from ERA foes like Phyilis
Schlafly, Mrs. Skinner's League of
Housewives and ERA supporters like the
National Organization for Women and the
Citizens’ Advisory Council on the Status of
Anti-ERA: The ERA will destroy the
family.
Pro-ERA: The ERA will have no effect
on private actions, only those which are
'egulated by law. Husbands and wives will
Continue to make their own decisions
about their personal lives.
The convention's opening session at 10
a.m. Friday will feature a weicoming
address by Chancellor Leo Jenkins and
addresses by Sigma Tau Delta officers,
including Dr. E. Nelson James of Northern
Ilinois University, national executive
secretary; Dr. Elva McLin of Athens
College, Alabama, Southemn regent and
national historian; and Dr. Edwin L.
Stockton, Jr. of Radford College, Va
ational president.
Dr. Erwin Hester, chairman of English
at ECU, will open the Saturday convention
events. Several professional panel ses-
Sions directed by members of the English
faculty will be Saturday's feature.
Vernon Ward will conduct a panel on
creative and scholarly writing; Ruth
Fleming and Dr. Keats Sparrow, two-year
colleges; Dr. Paul Dowell, folklore; Dr.
Donald Lawler, science fiction; Dr. James
Wright, linguistics; and Dr. William
Anti-ERA: The ERA will do away with
a husband's obligation to support his wife
and children.
Pro-ERA: All states require a
husband to support his wife and children
and some require husbands and wives to
support each other. These laws, however,
are not enforced unless a marriage breaks
up and one of the partners files for divorce
or charges nonsupport.
The courts have ruled that a married
women living with her husband can only
get what he chooses to give her. in some
“community-property” states he even
controls her earings and property. Ac-
cording to the New York Bar Association,
the ERA would require married couples to
support each other. Where one is the chief
wage earner and the other runs the home,
the wage earner would be obliged to
support the homemaker.
Anti-ERA: The ERA will end a
husband's obligation to pay alimony and
child support. nem
Pro-ERA: Under the ERA, alimony and
child support would be based on
circumstance, not sex. If one marriage
partner had been the money maker and the
other had no resources, that person would
get alimony. If one partner has custody of
the child, the other would be required to
make support payments.
Anti-ERA: Women workers will lose
protective restrictions and be forced to lift
heavy weights and work long hours.
Pro-ERA: Until recently, laws in many
states limited the number of hours women
could work or the weights they couid lift in
certain jobs, regulated their working
conditions for other jobs and banned them
altogether from still others. Some fuels
were helpful; others simply kept women
from better jobs.
Many of these restrictions were the
target of sex-discrimination complaints
filed under Title Vil of the Civil Rights Act.
As a result, the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission has ruled such
laws invalid.
Anti-ERA: Young women will be
drafted and forced into combat duty.
Stephenson, the film as literature.
Sunday morning, the ECU chapter of
Sigma Tau will have a meeting of current
and alumni members in 244 Mendenhall.
On hand will be two of the 1961 charter
members, Dr. Hermine Caraway and Mrs.
Antoinette Jenkins.
ECU was chosen for the convention
site from approximately 43° schools in the
southern chapter of Sigma Tau Delta. This
convention will be the first southern
regional meeting of the National English
Honor Society.
The campus community is cordially
invited. Convention registration ($2 regis-
tration fee) will be heid Thursday evening,
March 20, from 6:00-8:00 and Friday
morming, March 21, from 8:30-10:00 in
Room 221 of Mendenhall Student Center.
Advance registration by March 18 for the
banquet ($6.55 per person) and payment is
required.
Pro-ERA: Today there is no draft for
anyone; still, several hundred thousand
women volunteers are serving in the armed
services. Under the ERA, women wouid be
required to register with Selective Service
Boards.
If there should be a draft again, they
would be subject to the same physical
tests as men and receive assignments
based on their capacities. As always, any
person who has the prime responsibility
for caring for a child would be exempt from
the draft.
Generally, the anti-ERA peopie are
right: everyone would be in the sare boat
together.
Anti-ERA: The ERA will require the
integration of public rest rooms, school
college dormitories,
locker rooms,
prisons, public hospitals and the like.
Pro-ERA:

disrobing or other private functions.

show-goers will be witnessing the product
of a 350 year tradition
Down through the years many circus
performers have gained fame in their

become known as the “Royal Family of the
Circus.” This troupe, the Hanneford
Family, has been astounding audiences ail
over the globe for almost three hundred
and fifty years
it all began in the year 1621 when a
young irish lad named Michael Hanneford
toured the dusty roads of rural England
with Wombwell’'s Menagerie, the first
show of its kind in the British Isles. Each
Jay the athletic Michael put on a display of
Norsemanship that included dancing and
eaping upon the bare back of a galloping
horse. Thus, as word spread around the

FEATURED ACTS
In keeping with their own professional

other featured circus acts of the very
highest calibre and draw from ail parts of
the globe. These acts are changed each
year tO permit variety and diversity in the
program at each annual return visit of
Hanneford Circus. It is fast becoming a
circus tradition that selections of an act to
appear with Hanneford Circus constitutes
a significant professiona! honor.$
“There'll always be a circus,” says the
Hannefords, “as long as children keep
coming along and grown folks retain fond
memories of their own childhoods.” So it
looks as though the Hannefords to come
may still be delighting “children of al! ages
- from 4 to 94” 350 years from now
Tickets for the circus are available in
the ECU Central Ticket Office and are
priced at $1.00 for children and EQU
Students, and $2.00 for adult public. Two
performances are scheduled, one at 4:0
p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m

Ganger that was the iot of brace and
fearless pirates
The real pirates who struck terror into
the hearts of men for many centuries have
now become the legends of Western man
and Nave acquired the romantic qualities
proper to our people's understanding of
their past
One assumes that ECU chose the pirate
as its symbol in much the same spirit that
Peter Pan was enamored of Long John
Silver. And it has been retained over the
years so that today one sees the
ubiquitous - figurehead of the pirate—with
patch on eye and dagger in teeth—-on
official documents of all sorts, on a variety
of school supplies, in the newspaper, and
at various public events. And of course all
our athletes are referred to daily as pirates.
This is a society that is beginning to
look at itself, and so it is proper that we
seek to understand the culture in which we
live One of the ways of doing this is to
inquire into our Cultural heritage and to
examine all that has been handed down to
us. Actually this is now becoming a
necessity
Peter Pan was able to romanticize
pirates because be believed he was never
to grow up. One of the main
characteristics of becoming a man is the
ability to distinguish what is so from what
is not so. One of the main characteristics

of being a child is to believe that it is not
necessary to see things as they are—that is
is Not necessary to see the real meaning of
what is occuring in their lives
So, much like children, we have
believed it has not been necessary to see
or to be concerned with what in fact pirates
really are; that we can with impunity
imagine pirates to be whatever we so
fancy.
Therefore let us examine what pirates
wereand are, for pirates still exist—and
see clearly what it is we are using to
represent our school.
Essentially, a pirate is one outside of
civilizationan outlaw. He does not
recognize morality as the guide to living,
and so has no limits upon his acts. Pride
and just lead him over the high seas;
murder and destruction are a way of life.
He is completely secular and
materialistic. His occupation is theft, his
pasttime is gluttony, his god is power.
He has no respect for learning, nor for
gentieness, humility or mercy. We can
assume the pirate of the 16th century did

justice, and that he was not an equal
opportunity employer. He payed no
income taxes, had no use for truth, was a
male chauvanist par example, and rarely
went home for Christmas.
The motto of this school is service. The
symbol of the pirate is in utter
contradistinction to such a motto. Uniess,
of course, one has the mind of Peter Pan
If, for example, the symboi of America,
rather than being an eagle, were to be a
robin, then America would have
symbolically sacrificed one of its
psychological defenses. If one publically
calis himself a predator, takes pride in
this, and privately believes that predation
iS a natural and God sanctioned act, then
his critics cannot point out as easily that
he is not quite what he claims to be. If
one, in effect, admits to being scurrilous
and furthermore, sees nothing wrong with
this by proclaiming fault to be virtue, then
he is attempting to protect himself from
the truth
Most of us today will say that it matters
not really whether we have a pirate or a
saint as a symbol of our school, and that
such symbols have no real meaning.

Dylan's new album: meaningful
DYLAN BLEEDS:
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
By CHUCK NYSTROM
It would appear that we have been
blessed with another Dylan aibum despite
the apparent curse Dylan has suffered in
order to create it. (But then poets suffer or
pretend to.) Dylan seems to be very
cynical on this album and seems to be
preoccupied with the subject of lovers that
have departed. (Perhaps because he is
separated from his wife.) These new
songs are rather bitter, but are better for
the suffering. don't know if the average
of whatever ECU student is concerned
about the hurts of lost love, but Dylan
covers the subject very well and
convincingly. One can get the feeling that
Dylan does have something to offer and is
giving a little bit of himself on this album
(His last few albums have not been terribly
personal and seem to be due to pressures
to put out an album.) In BLOOD ON THE
TRACKS , Dylan shows that he really wants
to do the album and that it means
something to him
The musicians on the album were Tony
Brown (bass), Buddy Cage (stee! guitar),
Paul Griffin (organ), and Eric Weissburg
and Deliverance. Although they supplied
sufficient backing, their playing was more
supportive than interesting because the
arrangements were for the most part
simple. Often it was just Dylan on guitar
with a bass and a harmonica solo at the
end of each song. Luckily he used the
harmonica only at the end of the songs
with one exception. Most of the songs
sound like Dylan in the mid sixties except
about three of the songs on side two that
sounded like the songs off PAT GARRETT
AND BILLY THE KID. think Dylan would
do better to stick with his older style. Al-
though the music is usually just backup,
Dylan’s music has a very lively feel
anyway. think, however, that the
musicians were wise to give Dylan a lot of
room so his vocals could get
through. Dylan's voice is still not
listenable unless you reaily like him, but
he did a good job of conveying the feel and
spirit of his songs. Dylan’s tunes and
harmonies were listenable enough. Dy-
lan’s music, while not the greatest in the
world is enjoyable and folky.
This album contains the expression of
a lot of anger of Dylan's toward ex-lovers
(his wife?) and fans who want him to tell
them “where it’s at,” yet he goes out of his
way tO say where he thinks it's at. This
album contains the anger and rage that
made his early material so famous. Dylan
iS however directing his scorn and anger
toward his critics and fans who are
constantly harassing him for various
reasons rather than at society in general.
He really does not want to be the “cure-all”
for everyone's problems and he really does
have a right to be pissed off at those who
worship him
ae! :
AU)
Dylan's lyrics are better on the average
than on any album of his in at least eight or
nine years. Either he has been saving
material for a long time, or else his life has
only returned to an interesting level lately.
Although Dylan reinforces his image of the
sage of the sixties and is no doubt playing
up the fact that nostalgia is popular these
days, this album is of extremely high
artistic quality
Side One:
“Tangled Up in Blue” is a folk ballad
about a man who was in love with a
woman, leaves her, feels blue about
missing her and when he sees her after
many years of travelling knows that she is
not the person he loved and left and longed
for. She reads him some 15th century love
poems and he sees that what was true
about love then is true now. He still goes
off searching for the elusive joy he'll never
find. This song fits well into Dylan's
personna of the man who's seen it all and
travelled around a lot.
“A Simple Twist of Fate” is an
extremely cliched song in which a man and
a woman see each other in a park and a
motel in a rather bleak part of existence.
The man tries to find the woman around
the where the soldiers come in hoping
she'll pick him up again only to run across
loneliness and emptiness and to see those
less fortunate than himself. He makes the
cynical statement that ‘it's a sin to feel too
much within.” Dylan is basically talking
about the empty feelings of not being
wanted or needed and how it is much
easier to blame things on Fate rather than
ourselves and others.
“You're A Big Girl Now’ is probably the
best arranged song of the album and
sounds similar to “New Moming”. “You're
a Bic Girl Now,” is about the scorn of a man
toward his ex-girlfriend when she is
independent and sleeping around and
doing OK without him. He offers to let her
come back and that she can change. He
Said that he had made it and that she can
too. Although he offers to associate with
the girl again, he is full of scom and anger
toward her and is being pseudopolite.
“Idiot Wind” is Dylan's song laying it
on the critics and fans that he thinks are
rather stupid. He doesn't want people
asking him where it's at. He wants to have
his own seif and separate his identity
fromt he one that fans have given
him. Very cynically Dylan is saying that
people are so busy saying stupid things
(“blowing out idiot wind”) that it’s a
wonder that anyone can breath, feed
themselves and in general, live. Dylan
wants to be separated from the memories
and glories that his fans have forced on
him. This song sounds musically like “It
Ain't Me” and appropriately so.
“You're Going to Make Me Lonesome
When You Go” is about a person who is
going to be hurt when his love leaves
him. Dylan points out that vulnerability of
one to the comforts of love and the
discomforts of leaving. Dylan notes that
love is too easy and that even though the
situation and relationship between the two
people was bad that the parting wouid stil!
be painful. This is basically a folk ballad
with a simple guitar, bass and harmonic
arrangement .
Side Two:
“Meet Me in the Moming” is a three
chord blues song with a very country
flavour. It was probably a joke although it
does have a few good lyrical lines in it. My
suspicion is that Dylan either needed
another song to complete the album or he
was trying to temporarily lighten (destroy)
the mood of the first half of the album
“Lily, Rosemary and Jack of Hearts” is
a ballad involving a bank robbery, a murder
of a prominent citizen, a mismatch of
lovers, and a hanging probably set in a
small western town. This ballad is long,
well narrated, and is designed to be square
danced to. It will likely be the most
popular cut on the album. In the narrative
it takes eight minutes to get a bar shut
down “for repairs”. The lyrics are fairly
interesting and this is one of those never
ending Dylanesque stories like “Desol-
ation Row’ except a little happier.
“If You See Her, Say Hello” is a
sarcastic song of a man who telling is
telling a friend what to tell his ex-lover if he
see her. He expresses his bitterness and
anger toward her in many ways, subtle and
otherwise. He tries not to hear the talk
about her as he goes from town to
town. The feeling of hurt is so strong that
he just shuts off his feelings. His talk with
the friend had the element of trying to kill
someone with kindness (although fake at
that).
“Shelter From the Storm” is about a
woman who helps out a man when he has
various misfortunes upon him. The man
takes the woman for granted and even
resents her, but she still offers him shelter
without expecting anything in return.
“Buckets of rain” ends the album on
the idea that friends let you down, but you
should offer yourself to help. Dylan states
that life is sad and that you must do what
you must do and do it well. He implies
that he can't do things for you, but that
you must do things for yourself.
Overkill
Although the vocals and the recording
Quality are a little weak in a few places (al!
the vocals were solos), this album sounds
pretty clean and clear. This album is great
if you listen to the lyrics and interpret their
meanings. The tunes sound pretty much
like any of Dylan's previous material and
are uSually tolerable if not pleasant.
Lyrically, this is one of the best albums
have ever heard. At least 8 out of the 10
songs are top notch which is better than
can say for any album lately. If you were
disappointed by PLANET WAVES, PAT
GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID, or
BEFORE THE FLOOD® think you will
find this album a pleasant and extreme
improvement. Unless you absolutely hate
Bob Dylan, you will find that this album is
worth at least double its cost. If you want
to hear something that wil!
and feel, then this is a mean
worthwhile album. This album ps

B rautigans new novel : another chapter
THE HAWKLINE MONSTER
A GOTHIC WESTERN
By CHIP GWYNN
Staff Writer
first “discovered” Ricahrd Brautigan
several years ago through a work called,
Trout Fishing In America. This short work
was little more than a collection of
imaginatively described situations,
basically having little or nothing to do with
what the title suggests.
The simplicity and the directness of the
work, coupled with Brautigan’s uncanny
ability to describe situations and events
that seem to defy description, left me an
interested, if not devoted, follower.
After some minor investigative work,
was amazed to find a number of other
Brautigan fantasies, which wasted no
time in running through. Among these
choice tidbits of fantasia are: In
Watermelon Sugar, A Confederate General
from Big Sur, and The Abortion: An
Historical Romance 1966.
Brautigan also has several collections
of poems to his credit i.e. The Pill Versus
the Springhill Mine Disaster and Rommel
Drives on Deep into Egypt.
Brautigan developed a small cult of
followers, that began to expand. The
expansion seemed to be centered around
the universities. In fact, a few years ago
nobody, who was anybody, was
completely unfamiliar with the novels and
poems of Richard Brautigan.
As would seem titting, Brautigan’s first
novel, Trout Fishing in America , finally
made the best seller list. seemed that at
last some of the recognition he deserves
was coming his way.
The question now arists: what has
happened to Brautigan in the last couple of
years? He seems to have faded out just as
his star was on the rise.
For those of you who, like myself, have
heid at least a passing interest in
Brautigan’s works but seem to have
temporarily lost touch with him, consider
yourself in luck.
Richard Brautigan has just published
his latest work of fiction called The
Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Westem.
In this novel Brautigan has once again
pooled his grammar school syntax and
figurative language to produce one of his
most interesting works to date.
The novel is set in 1902 in Eastern
Oregon, although it begins rather
inconspicuously in Hawaii. The story
more resembles a science fiction
adventure than a westem but Brautigan
uses his unique style to merge elements of
reality and fantasy with the future and the
past.
The result is a work charged with that
refreshing Brautigan wit, humor and
Character, that have become his
trademarks.
The unpretentious heros of the story
are Greer and Cameron, who hunt people
for a living. Brautigan describes the pair
as men with “an aura about them that they
could handie any situation that came up
with a minimum amount of effort resulting
in a maximum amount of effect.”
Besides killing people; Cameron lives
his life in hopes that there will alwys be
something else to count and that there wil!
always be someplace to go whoring. He
counts everything -— which probably
includes his women.
Greer, on the other hand, is a little less
extreme. He has gotten use to Cameron's
counting because if he had not it would
have driven him crazy long ago and
besides, they are partners.
This pair of old west gunsiingers:
stumble into an adventure that begins to
unfold soon after their return from Hawaii.
Magic Child is a 15 year old indian, who
has been sent by Miss Hawkline to find
someone to kill the Hawkline monster.
She finds Greer and Cameron in a
whorehouse in Portiand.
Magic Child, who is also free with her
favors, offers Greer and Cameron $5000 if
they will come and kill the monster that
lives in the ice caves beneath the basement
laboratory in Miss Hawkline’s house.
So they pack up their assortment of
guns—each one has a different story—and
follow Magic Child into an adventure that
could only have been the brainstorm of
What they encounter at Miss
Hawkline’s house, outside the town of
Billy, is an old three chimney Gothic style
mansion, that is quite out of context in
Eastern Oregon. The house is furnished
very tastefully in typical Victorian decor.
Miss Hawkline explains to Greer and
Cameron that the house came from the
East. She goes on to explain that the
reason the house is so cold, in the middie
of July, is because it is built over an ice
cave.
This is only the beginning of a fantasy
that defies, excites and tickles the
imagination.
Brautigan uses the house, Miss
Hawkline, and Magic Chiid to fabricate a
tale filled with “elephant foot umbrella
stands,” seven foot three ince 300 pound
butlers, and a various assortment of
unpredictable situations, that are a result
of the Hawkiine monster.
Greer and Cameron's battle with the
monster and their dealings with Miss
Hawkline are unmistakably Brautigan. If
you ever get the opportunity to read this
work be sure not to pass it up.
The Hawkline Monster is, indeed,
another chapter in the story of Richard
Brautigan.
New Atlantic releases for March
ROBERTA FLACK
FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE
Atlantic SD 18131
Accorded virtually every honor given by
the music industry, four gold albums, four
gold singles, number one chart position,
wo grammy awards, and top status in ail
polls, Roberta Flack is undisputably a
superstar’. A consummate artist striving
for ever higher perfection, this latest
album on Atlantic Records, “FEEL LIKE
MAKIN’ LOVE,” her first LP to be released
in over 112 years, widens and enriches
ner already dazzling reputation. With a
vital, expressive, and fluid vocal delivery
(hat utilizes a variety of today’s musical
idioms, Roberta Flack embraces every
COMposition in a magical manner. Songs
like “Feelin’ That Glow,” Stevie Wonder’s
Can See the Sun in Late December,”
Feel Like Makin’ Love,” and “She's Not
Blind” are invitingly sensual experiences.
Definitely, another “flackspectacular.”
YES YESTERDAYS
Atlantic SD 18103
elections from this new Yes album
YESTERDAYS,” have been carefully
Culled from their first two Atlantic albums,
YES,” and“TIME AND A WORD,” and
given extra thrust by including the never
released version of Pauli Simon's
“AMERICA.” This track features the
inimitable playing of Rick Wakeman on
keyboards and Steve Howe on guitar. The
resplendent compostions and chromatic
vocals are all there in such cuts as
“Looking Around,” “Sweet Dreams,”
“Survival,” and “Then,” and “Astral
Traveller.” Giving their utmost to the LP
are Bill Bruford on drums, Peter Bank on
guitar, Jon Anderson vocals, Chris Squire
on bass, and Tony Kaye on keyboards.
BLACK HEATKEEP ON RUNNIN’
Atlantic SD 18128
Tuming on the steam to a pressure
cookin’ level, capping all the hot and funky
beats, Black Heat hold high rocketing
temperatures in check on their third album
on Atlantic Records, “KEEP ON
RUNNIN’.” And they are a seven man,
self-contained group that know how to
keep things movine. Their fast-paced
rhythms, and their ballads are filled with
smokin’ sounds. Numbers like the John
Lennon classic “Drive My Car,” made
funkier by their fine rendition, “Last
Dance” and “Zimba Ku,” both disco
smashes, and “Prince Duval,” a sweet and
tangy upbeat number, are spicier than
ever. Jimmy Douglass handied the
explosive production.
MAGGIE BELL SUICIDE SAL
Swan Song SS 8412
Regaled in ali her best musical finery,
the sultry toned “Queen of the Night,”
Maggie Bell unleashes ali her undisput-
able, power packed talents on this newest
album, “SUICIDE SAL,” her first on the
Swan Song label which sports such
notables as Led Zeppelin and Bad
Company. When Maggie sings, she
infuses every strain of each refrain with
deep-seated emotionalism magnified by
her incredible vocal mastery and
commanding delivery. She can be counted
on to add that extra bit of impact to her
songs. On cuts like “Suicide Sai,”
“Comin’ on Strong,” and “Wishing Weill,”
her deserved reputation is retrenched and
made more imposing. Led Zeppelin's
Jimmy Page plays guitar providing greater
impetus to the album. No doubt, there will
be a long life to Maggie Bell's career.
JOHN PRINE COMMON SENSE
Atlantic SD 18127
John Prine’s fourth album on Atlantic,
“COMMON SENSE,” makes the kind of
statement about Prince that shows h im to
be a musician deeply committed to his
work and one who excelis in his trade.
Considered by many to be among the most
skilled songwriters of today and best
known for his solo endeavors, he changes
his perspective to his new LP by giving his
lyrics an equally strong melodic format,
utilizing an ali new backup band, and
adding a bit of showmanship to his
performances. Responsible for this newly
implemented concept is the legendary
Memphis-based Steve Cropper, who
produced the whole album. Cuts like
“Middle Man,” “My Own Best Friend,” and
“Come Back To Us Barbera Lewis Hare
Krishna Beauregard” are testimonies to
Prine’s masterful accomplishments. Pro-
viding richer luster to the LP are J.D.
Steve Goodman, and Bonnie Raitt.

By GAYLE McCRACKEN
Staff Writer
The ECU Biology department has
received a $9,000 grant from the National
Science Foundation to support an
undergraduate research program on the
ecology of the Pamlico River estuary
Five student participants have been
selected on the basis of interest in
research, academic standing and pro
spective plans for graduate and
professional education. The participants
include four ECU studenis: Fernando
Rene Puente, Samuel Kirby, Mrs. Mary
Aldridge Bailey and Gary Hyman. James
W. Kornegay, a student at N.C. Wesleyan
College, will also participate
The students will be doing full-time
research for ten weeks from June 9 to
August 10. Each will receive $80 per week
Research advisors will be Dr. Graham
J. Davis, Or. Mark M. Brinson, and Dr
Clifford B. Knight. All are professors in
the Biology department
The program will take place in three
parts with the central focus on factors
associated with energy flow in the estuary
The students will take a biology
course spring quarter to get background
information on the river and to work up a
research proposal,” said Davis, director of
the program
They will do research in the summer
and take a second honors course in the fal!
to write up the information § for
oublication
The source of the Pamlico River is in
Washington, N.C and it runs for about 35
miles before emptying into the Pamlico

head Dave Synder insisted the Board had
no veto power over speakers, and after a
week of confrontation the Central Board
rescinded its order
Over in the Ziegler camp, there is less
candor, Unlike Walker, agent William
Leigh of the Colston-Leigh Agency refused
to give details of the number of colleges
Ziegler would visit, his fees, or the dates
involved. According to other reports,
however, Ziegler has been offered between
$2000 and $2500 an appearance
Ron Ziegler has also had his share of
pre-appearance protests although Leigh
said he was “not particularly” aware of
protests against Ziegler. “The Boston
incident was a little inflated by the press,”
he insisted
In that confrontation, the Boston
University speakers group contracted to
pay Ziegler $2500 but the money was
withdrawn by the student government
Following local protests that BU was
stifling free speech, BU President John
Silber offered to pay Ziegler $1000 out of
university funds, but Leigh turned down
the offer as too low
Nevertheless, Ziegiers proposed ap-
pearance has caused controversy

The Michigan State University student
government also withdrew financial
support for Ziegler, but by charging
admission and using up the rest of their
budget, the MSU Lecture Concert Series
said they could still foot the bill and
Ziegler would speak. Student body
president Tim Cain had called for mass
picketing and a boycott of the speech

CPS)-Recently released FBI files reveal
that in 1970 the FBI attempted to
encourage the dismissal of an Arizona
State University professor by filing an
anonymous, derogatory letter about him.
The documents were released to the
professor, Dr. Morris Starsky, under the
terms of the Freedom of Information Act
DOr. Starsky called the FBI letter a
slanderous smear tactic” to encourage
his dismissal because of his political
activities
Starsky, an associate professor of
philosophy at Arizona State from 1964 to
1970 took part in unti-war activities at the
choo! and was a member of the Young
alist Alliance and the Socialist
Workers Party
The incident began when Starsky’'s

We’restill paying
Could it be that student financed building endeavors on Our campus have abated for
the time being?
Of saan sone tion is still going on at Joyner Library, curbs are being ripped out
at crosswalks to further the attempts at making ECU barrier-free, and (rain has slowed
the process of erecting) our beautiful new stadium lights
Last year according to Mr. Jim Lowry, director of the physical plant, we spent a
whopping big $3,573,558 on construction of new buildings on campus. Completed were
Mendenhall Student Center, the School of Arts, and the Regional Development Building
Out of those buildings students paid only for the Student Center at $24.00 per student
Lowry explained that some buildings used for student activities other than strictly
academic (i.e. classrooms) are denoted auxilliary buildings and must be student funded
ther buildings are appropriated by the state
That leaves us with the current breakdown of $12.00 a year for renovation of the old
student union in Wright Annex (which is now vacated of student offices); $21.00 a year
febt retirement on Minges Coliseum $9.00 a year on Ficklen Stadium; and dorm
rent goes to retire the debt on dormitory construction as well as maintenance and
perating costs. In other words, students are currently paying $66.00 a year each for
ament on student activity Dulldings
; OOk at what we have here. ECU !s now up to a grand total! of 59 buildings, a
tball stadium, a baseball fieid, track field, 16 tennis courts, an intramurais field,
basketbal! courts, five portable buildings (trailers) and numerous parking
nakes ECU the third largest university in the state
aren t stopping now. There will only be a short lag before is heard the first
reech of new buildings being born at ECU. Lowry said bids were taken

Business can be exciting
By J. PAUL GETTY
Perhaps the wealthiest man in the world at 79 years of age, J. Paul Getty, still actively
directs the operations of a vast, global financial empire. An avid sports enthusiast,
traveler, and writer, Mr. Getty is the author of THE GOLDEN AGE, a widely known
summary of his “formula for dynamic living.”)
Since received my Diploma from
Oxford University in Economics and
Political Science in June, 1913, there have
been many changes, yet suppose the
fundamentals are still the same. It was
difficult to be successful in business then,
and it is difficult to be successful in
business today. think there is an
impression among people not actively in
business that money is easily made in
business. Some people think that big
business sets its own prices and forces the
customers to do what big business tells
them to do. My experience has not
supported this view.
have been in small business and in big
business; found small business difficult
and big business even more difficult. In a
small business you can do most of the
work yourself and then you can assume it
is done the way you want it done — but on
the other hand, you don't have such
momentum. can remember very well
when figured my financial position every
day. knew exactly how much money

Out. Small businesses can seldom afford
the luxury of operating at a
loss. Unprofitable activities have a short
shrift. admire the small business man —
he is right on the firing line. He has to be
successful and balance outgoings with
incomings.
In big business the probiems af
different but no less difficult. The head
man responsible for the wel! being of the
business obviously cannot do everything
himself and sign every letter that 's written
or give ali the orders personally. He has to
depend on the team work of a large
organization. Here, morale and procedure
are important. It is not easy to nave

ACC
To Fountainhead :
Well, finally someone realizes the
shape of the Southern Conference. Rich-
mond, one of the better athletic powers of
the Southern Conference is giving strong
consideration of withdrawing its member-
ship. could not agree with them anymore
on this situation. Their reasons for
withdrawal are as follows: 1. the
admission of Appalachian State University
2. the de-emphasis of football by
Davidson and its continued membership in
the Conference, 3. the strong likelihood
that Western Carolina will be admitted to
the league, 4. the drop in attendance at
football and basketball games with other
Southern Conference schools.
Maybe by some possible miracle, our
athletic council could see that East
Carolina is in the same position. Dr.
Jenkins’ proposal in the Daily Reflector,
Feb. 26, 1975, is very reasonable.
He suggests the possibility of a new
conference with teams of equal caliber,
such as Richmond, William and Mary,
Virginia Tech, South Carolina or
Delaware. This seems to be the most
logical idea. East Carolina will never be
accepted into the Atlantic Coast
Conference for several reasons. The main
reason is a new member to the conference
has to be passed by each conference
member. Already, three universities;
Clemson, Virginia, and especially
Maryland are against allowing another
North Carolina School to become a
member
Thus, the solution to the problem is as
follows; 1. ECU drop from the Southem,
Conference, 2. ECU become independent
of the NCAA until a new conference can be
established, 3. ECU continue to schedule
more ACC teams on a home basis in all
sports, 4. ECU drop such teams as The
Citadel, Appalachian State, VMI, Georgia
State, Mercer, St. Peters, Southern Miss.
Southern Illinois, that the students have
no desire to watch play, 5. Refrain from
scheduling home games during holidays
and during mid-term and final exam
periods.
With the playing of these new
conference teams and more ACC teams,
our program can be improved 100 percent.
Richmond has seen the light - NOW is the
time for ECU to open its eyes.
Sincerely,
DM
Escorts
To Fountainhead:
We live in Greene Dorm and are very
disturbed with the actions of our campus
police. Our boyfriends and even our
fathers are forced to call us over the
intercom in the lobby and be escorted by a
female of this dorm before they are
allowed past the elevator. Yet certain male
policemen are allowed to enter at any hour
of the night and unescorted.
One face, who is often seen in this
dorm is that of Investigator EARL
WIGGINS. We feel that he is imposing
upon our privacy by his actions. After ail
he is a male and he should require the
escort of a female.
Mr. Wiggins had the nerve to enter
several girl's rooms uninvited and start a
conversation that he would not end for
quite some time. If an officer must enter
our dorm, why can't it be the female police
officer we've seen on campus?
We have nothing personal against Mr.
Wiggins, but being a maie on the
University Police Staff, he should set an
example and follow the regulations that he
helps enforce. We feel that Mr. Wiggins
should not be allowed in our dorm unless
he is called and then should be escorted by
the dorm resident.
A.T. and L.R.
Fiasco?
To Fountainhead :
Attention: Mr. Richard La Vallee, Feb.
'75, Vol.6 Fiasco to you, too
First of all was the “East Zambeze vs.
Foolan"”’ game a figment of your
imagination or do you mean East Carolina
U. vs. Furman, and just lack speiling
abilities! If this was the game, maybe it
just wasn't planned as well as you
thought. The “nice” announcer “Dick
Smith” wouldn't get up and leave if he
knew he had three “legit.” announcements
to read. Mr. Smith has really been a great
heip to us (“ECU”), in my opinion, or
Richard would you like to have his job.
Secondly, it's not our fault the helpers
didn't show up. Poor planning again.
ECU students and Mr. Larry Staz would not
purposely run into people. Remember,
Richard, there were approx. 6,400 people
at the game. Maybe he was in a bad
spot. Thirdly, the ECU, “EZU” as you
called it band didn’t play during the
performance because “we” ahha, yes, we
watched the show. think we ought to be
congratulating Mr. Dick Smith, Larry Staz,
EZU students and the EZU pep band, “as
you call them,” instead of griping. There
is a course called Planning Techniques , I!
& ll offered here at “EZU”. Maybe it will
help! I'm sure glad nothing like that would
ever happen at ECU.
Thanx,
Concerned (FP) reader

To Fountainhead :
It has come to my attention that the
Elbo Room of downtown Greenville has a
tendency to serve canned “beer” with sand
in it. prefer to consume intoxicating
substances without unnatural foreign
substances - sand! hiding therein to tease
the teeth. Really, for 55 cents per can of
“beer” would rather inhabit other “joints”.

To Fountainhead :
it seers strange that in this money
crunch, this university can spend money tc
tear up sidewalks and install new lights,
yet they cannot afford to keep our dorm
bathrooms stocked with a sufficient
amount of toilet paper. We realize that
there is a paper shortage but surely more
than three or four rolls a day for each
restroom is not too much to ask.

The reason why this policy was

was argued that the dorm student not

Although the perfected x-ray laser has

applications have already been establish-

in microscopy and for eye surgery and

EDITOR'S NOTE: In an effort to expand
statewide coverage, FOUNTAINHEAD has
subscribed to a weekly summary column
prepared by the legislative staff of the
institute of Government on the work of the
North Carolina General Assembly of
1975. The summary is confinded to a
discussion of matters of general
interest. The summary, beginning today,
will become a weekly feature in
FOUNTAINHEAD.
The State’s tax structure
The ferment about tax reform in last
years General Assembly came to a head in
f the session when the
Senate Finance Committee flirted with a

naterialized, but the difficulty in grappling
with the issues it presented did prompt the
eation of a Special Senate Commission

soncerns that always shape tax reform
effortseconomic impact and equity. The
proponents of the inventory tax credit
slaimed their reform would have a
favorabie economic impact in luring
businesses who would otherwise choose
states with more favorable tax climates
The food tax repeal advocates depicted
their proposal as slaying, or at least
wounding, the dragon of regressive
taxesiong the main target of those
concerned with tax equity
The work of the Commission on Revenue
Laws The Senate Revenue Laws
Commission surveying a long menu of
issues and a short period of working time,
decided to focus their attentions on the
concern with equity, ooking at “who pays
N.Cs taxes
The Commission's report has not yet
been published, but its estimates of the
tax Durdens, (meaning the estimated
amount of taxes paid as a percentage of
ncome) have been reported. Their
calculations show the tax burdens for
families and individuals at various income
levels for each of the many kinds of taxes
that state and local government impose
The estimates of the burden of the
sales tax on food indicate that very poor
families pay a relatively large percentage
of their income on sales taxes on food
(families or individuals with less than
$1)50 annual income pay an average of
$11.15 annually, which is 1.5 percent of
their average income of this group). Those
in the highest income group paid sales
taxes On food amounting to a relatively low
fraction of thei income (those with annual
income greater than $57,500 paid an
average of $68, or 0.07 percent of average
’ income)
the lowest and highest income
left out of the comparison, the
of sales tax on food is less
pattern of burdens fell from
Dy a family with $1150-$2300
annual income to 0.1 percent for a family
with $28, 750-$57 500 income
Some of the other taxes also work
regressively, but the estimates suggest the
regressive pattern of sales and some
excise taxes is offset to some extent by the
progressive Or proportional patterns of the
burden from other state taxes, particularly
the personal income tax
Neediess to say, the calculation of
where the burden of taxes falls is
complicated: the burden is affected
substantially, for example, by the effect of
the deduction for state taxes allowed in
the federal income tax, and there is no
lear answer to the question of who finally
pays the taxes levied on corporations
Thus, the burden of state taxes varies
according to what assumptions are made
about where the corporate income tax falls
and whether tax burdens are adjusted to
account for federal tax deductibility
Regardiess of the assumptions, the
Commission found that state taxes paid by
the very poorest families and individuals
those with annual incomes below $2300)
amount to the highest percentage of
annual income. Except for these poorest
families and individuals, and those in the
highest income classes (whose burden
falis off slightly from the next highest
Class), however, the estimated patterns of
total tax burden from state taxes is either
roughly proportional (even after adjusting
for federal tax deductibility) or mildly
progressive, depending on how the burden
of corporate tax is figures
What response will occur to all these
estimates of who pays the taxes remains
to be seen. All indications are that this
General Assembly will not be dealing
extensively with the questions of tax
equity that the Commission's figures
highlight. Those questions are over-
shadowed by the economic hard times that
have worsened since the Commission's
OO Me OM

birth, there is little impulse to tamper with
the revenue structure until there is some
assurance of enough money to pay the
bills. (The Legislative Summary of
February 21 outlined the uncertainty in this
years revenue projections.)
The Commission itself reportedly has
responded quite tentatively to its own
investigations, and is making no
recommendations for major changes in the
tax system
The Commission is, however,
apparently ready to recommend (in bills to
be introduced within a few days when its
report is issued) several minor changes,
mosi aimed at introducing greater equity
to the state's personal income tax
These changes would include (1)
removing the sales tax ceilings on autos,
planes, boats, and certain types of
machinery, (2) eliminating the personal
income tax deduction for dividents from
N.C. corporations, (3) adding a personal
income tax deduction for child care
expenses, (4) broadening an income tax
exemption for certain pensions to include
income of other retired people, and (5)
revising inheritance tax exemptions to
orrect certain inequities toward women
and to increase exemptions to account for
inflation
Other proposals for change in the tax
structure The Commission's recom-
mendations do not exhaust the
legislature's interest in tax reform. The
food tax is still fair game. Sen. McNeill
Smith (a member of the Revenue Laws
Commission) and Rep. Harris, undeterred
by the Commission's by-passing of the
food tax issue or by the failure of last
year Ss ood tax repeal (they introduced that
one), have again sponsored a repeal bill (S
158, H 241)
This one is again accompanied by a bill
(S 159, H 242) to produce compensating
revenues by es" income tax rates in

Carson Nac spoken about missing
peopie which hurt the Pirates. They were

was Phillips the team missed most

Not having Sammy really was the
most costly,” said Carson. “We also had a

that hurt us.”
The six events the Pirates won were the
440 relay, the 100-yard dash, the 880-yard
run, the 220-yard dash, the shot put and
the discus.
In the sprint events, it was once again
freshmen Carter Suggs and Larry Austin
leading the show.
Suggs ran a 21.8 for first-place in the
220 and placed just behind Austin in the
100-yard dash with a time of 9.5. Austin
also recorded a 9.5 clocking
In addition, the two freshmen also
teamed with Maurice Huntley and Robert
Franklin in the winning 440-relay team.
Charlies Avery completed ECU's fine
showing in the running events witha first
place time of 1:56.9 in the 880-yard run.
Tom Watson won the shot put event
with a heave of 51 feet, 6 12 inches, and

Last year, the ECU squad placed 25th
in the NCAA tournament with Bill Hill the
high Pirate finisher with a fifth place
finish, but this year's ECU team seems to
nave an even better chance, after a 13-0
regular season and a convincing win in the
conference tournament
thought we had an excellent season
since we were really going through
somewnat of a rebuilding year,” said
Welborn. “Anytime you can place
wrestlers in the NCAA it's a real
accomplishment
Leading the seven ECU wrestlers is
senior Dan Monroe, who will be making his
fourth appearance. Monroe will be
