Pie Kill promotes the idea that absurdity is the only way to relieve the pressures of our society. “It's a sad commentary on our time that people are born and die without being hit in the face with a pie,” Murdock said.
The delivery, costing $35, is simple but well-planned. Usually two men work together. The first approaches the victim, shakes his hand and hands him a document commending him for good sportsmanship. As the victim parses to read it, the second man steps up and mashes a pie in his face

At least one company, however, has bit the dust. In Minneapolis, Jeffrey Carpenter, 19, was arrested and charged with simple assault and breach of the peace when he tried to make good a pie contract. Charges were later dropped but Carpenter was warned to stay on best behavior for a year.
there were 14 students which were divided into three groups. One group was in charge of two spaces (an office and a showroom), another group in charge of forming another area into a bachelors apartment, and still another group in charge of the bathroom, hallway, and a bedroom. Most furnishings for this year, like the year before were borrowed. but it paved the way for new and more exciting changes
These hanges took place in 1974. The three most noticeable changes were (1) the program increased to 18 students, (2) the students were divided into four groups and (3) the groups took on an entire house as a joint effort which would accomodate a couple and their three chiidren. The class made all the beds, tables, and chairs, and with only minor changes to the actual structure, completely renovated the house for under $5000
In 1975, however, changes galore took shape. Walls were knocked down, wiring was Changed, and the rooms were changed around to number Six. rather than the original eight.

The program was cited quite well by Mr. Mel Stanforth, the director of the Interior Design program at ECU, “When it's all over, there seems to be a great spiritual change as far as students are concerned which am totally unable to verbalize.”
On May 4, a Sunday afternoon, you and your friends will be able to see the spiritual change which took place in this year's design students at 504 E. 9th St. Open House will run through the entire next week (May 5-9), and it's a fact you'll be able to see the many new ideas in interior design presently enjoyed by the students of our program at ECU

The men behind Aloha.Bobby and Rose"
WILLIAM FRAKER INTERVIEW
VW i braker me of the most jely respected cinematographers in Hollywood. Among his many credits are
Bullitt Rosemary s Baby Paint Your Wagon and “Day of the Dolphin.” He iso made his directonal debt with “Monte Walst 4 western with fine and richly jrawn Characters, starring Lee Marvin and eanne Moreau. He has just recently ompiete inematography on Aloha. Bobby and Rose,’ a Columbia release written and directed by Floyd Mutrux
The diverse nature of Frakers film iSsociat along with his directorial
have given him a specific point
expenence
! view regarding style and the conveyance 2.2
jon t associate myself with any kind
fa e because, number one, think the
tyle of a picture ndigenous to the
i a mes out of the
nateria Then you Nave a director, and his
eNCe CON. You have actors, and
e is felt. Finally, the
nent, the cation, has to be
idered. Out of all of those component
part omes a unit, of a singular road
? the style of the picture. cant tell
what a picture will look like before we
t shooting, and think that is the
approach. dont think a
ameraman should have a defined style.”
Tt approach was applied to “Aloha,
Bobby and Rose” with Fraker working in
niunction with writer-director Floyd Mutrux
The Ok Of the picture comes from
yd because, aS he says, ‘This is a
tast-food picture,’ and we wanted it to have that feeling. So you have to take a look at your locations at all hours of the day and really consider the atmosphere so you can Duild up an idea and put it on film. Then while you re actually shooting you have to eep in mind that a million things can nappen to alter that original concept, but tne central idea has to be the starting point
The cinematographer, as a title, is not really the man behind the camera, a situation which Fraker quickly clarifies in terms of ranking the photographic work to be done
“There is a union classification for a four-man team. You have a director of photography or the first camerman, and then you have a camera operator, who actually sits behind the camera and puts the picture on the screen. Then you have a first assistant cameraman and a second assistant. A first assistant will load the camera, take care of it, and folow focus The second assistant, the last man on the totempoie, will mark feet, take care of equipment, transporting it, and so forth The camera operator, or second cameraman, is probably the most important man on the team. was a camera operator for three years longer than had to because was working with Conrad Hall, whom consider to be one of the premier cinematographers in the business.”
The importance of a director can not be over-emphasized in Frakers estimation,
and he has extremely high regard for Floyd Mutrux Working with Floyd is fantastic,” he
Says have never met a man who inderstands the streets as well as he does He can walk out on the street and in two seconds, he's got the beat, the feel of the location. My job is to get that energy on the screen, let along light a set and get the proper exposures
The selection of shots in a film, their arrangement and duration, thus becomes an area of mutual Concerm
The director has an idea going in, before we even hit a set, of what he wants to do, dictated by the material and the motivation of the actors. If the actors move, for example, and you want to stay in tight close-up, you have to move with them. You have to kind of work it out. It's a joint effort
The techniques involved with becoming a first cameraman touch other aspects of filmmaking upon which Fraker elaborates. having emphasized the necessity of ommunication between the director and the actors
‘Learning how to light a set, for example, takes a long, long time. That's why it takes years to become a first cameraman. You can go out and shoot Street shots, shoot available light, which is terrific, but often times you work with people who are stars and you want to make them beautiful, not from the standpoint of an Old Hollywood ‘look,’ but because they are beautiful, literally, and at that moment in the film they're beautiful, so they should be effectively represented. It takes a lot of experience to work with light, and the only way to get experience is to do ti
“l happened to be very fortunate
working with a still photographer by the name of Tom Kelly, the man who made the famous Marilyn Monroe nude shots that helped to launch her into a tremendous career. Tom was the man who taught me lighting. worked with him for three years, watched like a hawk, and learned. In this industry, the opportunity is there. You can be on the sets and work with masters, people who have spent twenty or thirty years lighting actors. It's there for you if you take the time, stop fooling around, and watch what is happening.” Fraker's directorial experience helped to sharpen his philosophy of filmmaking, underlining the necessity of collective effort ‘When became a director, found out
that it takes a team, it requires a team to make a picture. No one man makes a film We are all expendable. What you need is a group effort, and a unit that works together actually makes good films together
At the same time, the smaller the crew, the more efficient each man is, and the more efficient the whole operation is Filmmaking requires concentration and commitment, and have found that when you are on a shooting schedule, you must reconcile yourself to the fact that you are part of a unit. It takes discipline and dedication and an awareness that you are part of a team.’
FLOYD MUTRUX INTERVIEW
Floyd Mutrux is a young writer, a man whose talent refiects part of what has come to be called “The New Hollywood.” His screenplay credits include “The Christian Licorice Store,” “Dusty and Sweet McGree,” “Freebie and the Bean,” ‘Scarecrow,” and now “Aloha, Bobby and Rose,” which also marks his directorial

debut
The term “New Hollywood” can, in some ways, be misieading. Floyd Mutrux sees it more as a means of contemporary association, encompassing both stylistic approach and a smiliarity in attitude.
“Any time another generation moves on, somebody comes in and they're new. So guess think of it as a blanket term for anybody whose ideas feel comfortable with,” says Mutrux. “As far aS, Say, screenwriters are concerned, like very straight material, and think Bob Towne wrote the best screenplay of the year with ‘Chinatown.’ It was a very direct and well-constructed story. I'm affected emotionally by non-linear stories at times, but like Bob Towne’s work, and think of him as contemporary, ‘New Hollywood’ as much as anyone else.”
Despite the preference for “straight” material, Mutrux has found himself in a position of experimentation at times, working with ideas which do not fit the convenience of a traditional “beginning, rmddie and end.”
“There are concepts in ‘Aloha, Bobby and Rose’ which do not follow a precise way of telling a story. These were facets of the script which chose to leave out because felt they were generally understood and didn't need explanation. Because of these gaps, you might say,
these things we just know, the sto ry might have the appearance of not being solidly constructed. But it was intentiona
The dichotomy between write, and director is something Mutrux has had to contend with from his first “The Christian Licorice Store
“It's difficult to reconcile Saw ‘Christian Licorice Store’ in many ¢ Ji fferent formats, and it's still never been released 1 didn't feel when they were maki ng the movie that they were making the movie wrote. felt like they were making an entirely different film. Everybody does what they see or they feel. That's why it's really hard when one person writes something and another person directs it. It can only work if they both have the same point of view
Personal commitment is essential to Mutrux, forming the basis of his involvement, his approach, and the themes that he pursues
“Whatever the subject matter is that
x reenplay
am pursuing,” he says, “well, have to get into it and want to do it. otherwise wouldn't be able to sustain interest to completion. With ‘Aloha, Bobby and
Rose,’ went to Van Nuys Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley and began to write about an ex-hotrodder wx trying t adjust to not being a teenager. and it just became a consuming thing, eventually working out to this screenplay
Although his technique intuitive Mutrux rehes on his own personal
conception of discipline to arrive at the final realization of an idea
“ just write my own way. ve probably read only ten books in my whole life maybe less. So I'm not committed to anybody else's style, becaue dont really know any. just made up my own style. Once get going refuse to stop until I've followed an idea to its conclusion, or to the form it will eventually take on the screen.”
With “Aloha, Bobby and Rose,” Mutrux did, however, find himself influenced in terms of film precedent particularly with reference to early John Garfield features
“ wanted to do a Garfield movie, 4 1940s Garfield movie. wanted to expiore the idea of star-crossed lovers, and 4 situation where you know how the story 's going to end before it progresses 100 far. would have made the main characters older, but felt that it would have been 4 misrepresentation. think Gartieid him self would have played his characters
younger today. “ also wanted to deal with Hollywood
and how it has changed, how the glamour has changed. wanted eS paths of thse two people cross and whatever time exists, these og leer . beginning of a relationship. Finally, i wanted to show how a single incident, accident, can change the rest of your I"e Now even though was influenced by those early Gartieid films, was infl 0 emotionally, by the feelings More a anything elise, wanted to ds feelings, not simply copy y movie.”

EditorialsCommentary
Pitt-med school link
In one pretty sweep the NC Senate subcommittee studying the fee hike, cut the proposed amount of increase in half and made some important decisions to do with our med school
UNC-system President William C. Friday reported a $7 million cut from the consolidated universities budget since the med schoo! will be linked with Pitt Memorial Hospital rather than construct and equip a new ECU building.
There are several aspects to this move, not the least nor most unpleasant of which was the consequent slash in the proposed fee hike. Of course, the entire proposal stili has to go to committee before hitting the Senate fioor and then on to the House for passage. But the move was a good one
Examining the aspects of the proposed med schoo! status one finds numerous advantages to ECU, the state and Greenville community.
in the first place, Greenville will most certainly benefit from a more updated and larger hospital. Since the new addition will be a teaching facility as well, the methods and equipment will be the most modern availabie. The ideas and staff of the ECU section will be students and faculty involved in constant research and training.
In the past many area patients were sent to Duke or Chapel Hill hospitals because the Pitt County area was not equipped to handie certain ilinesses or accidents. These two hospitals are teaching facilities as well, and carry a great deal of prestige throughout the State and nationally
in the future Pitt County area residents will be able to forego the long trip upstate as they will be able to get medical care in Greenville. With the reputation the ECU school of nursing has made in this and previous years there is no reason to doubt the med school won't begin to shine as bright.
By being linked with Pitt Memorial Hospital, med school students will have the benefit from working with patients checking into the hospital. The med schoo! will be on hand to observe and take part in the governing and operating of a large hospital. Rather than being confined to a smaller and isolated med school facility, the students will receive full exposure to the daily routine of a hospital serving every kind of patient.
In a few days the dean of the med schooi should be named.
Today proposals of two candidates wiil be made to Chancellor Leo Jekins who ! in turn recommend the candidates to Friday. This is an important move to wate, « this man will begin planning the med school curriculum and getting the med school reauy to open for its first class of freshmen in 1976. 7
This man's decisions and preparations will aim the ECU med school in the direction it will head for a long time. Whether the program excelis or slowly drags to its feet will in
part, depend on this dean.
But at least, once he is named actual planning can begin on realizing the long-time dream of an ECU Med School.

“SUE NAMATH, GAT your HEAT out!” Are we justified?
Anti-American fad
By OSCAR HANDLIN
Brooklyn-bom, Oscar Handilin first came to Harvard University in 1934 as a graduate student. Except for a two-year hiatus, working as an instructor at Brooklyn College, Professor Handlin has remained at Harvard ever since, becoming Charlies Warren Protessor of History in 1965. Professor: Handilin's remarkable academic output has made him familiar to history majors everywhere. It includes such works as The Uprooted, Race and Nationality in American Life, Al Smith and His America, and Children of the
Uprooted. Among his many awards are the Dunning Prize given by the American
Historical Association, and the Pulitzer Prize for history.
Few intellectuals consider it necessary to justify, explain, or even examine their anti-Americanism. Social conditions in the U.S. seem adequate to account for their alienation. Materialism, pollution, imperialism, racism are enough to dismay the sensitive; and any confirmation that may be needed comes regularly from the best minds of England, France and Sweden.
Yet there is a deeper dimension to the prevailing posture. The dislike of intellectuals for their country is by no means recent, nor does it hinge upon the specific issues of the 1960's. Anti- Americanism goes back a long way to our past; and if the appearance is different, that is due to a change in the form of expression and to a more receptive audience.
“The most odious and insupportabie depotism that ever was heard of upon the face of the earth,”—thus Edgar Allen Poe on his native land in “Some Words With a Mummy. His contemporary, Henry D. Thoreau, although from a different point of
view, arrived at a similar conclusion in “Walden.” Mark Twain, quintessentially American, articulated his bitterest emotions in criticism of his country. “The red letter days of the calendar are Apri! . which reminds us that we are fools, and October 12, Coiurnbus Day. It would have been wonderful to miss it.” So much for the American Dream. No sooner did the ocean crossing become comfortable than the expatiates began their flight across the Atlantic to the more congenial cultural climate of the Old World. And, indeed, antecedents of the later verbal scourgings of America appear far back in the sermons o! seventeenth century divines.
Not all intellectuals joined the chorus There were occasional boosters and praisers; and there were even some like Jetterson, Emerson, and Whitman, abie to condemn defects but able also to celebrate virtues, to balance deficiencies against achievements. There is no need to count heads in a judgment of which line was the more numerous, more vocal, more

Sometimes, if the particular film company is within a 700 mile radius, it is possible to order another film and have it shipped air freight in 1-2 days. However, as Budget Films is located in Calif. the time

Concert
To Fountainnead
Monday, May 5th, there will be a concert on the mail sponsored by WECU and known as Strawberry Jam 75. A banner was made with the names of the four bands appearing, in order to promote the concert. The banner was placed above the CU on Tuesday, April 29th around 4:30 p.m. and had disappeared by 7:30 p.m The person who so senselessly ripped it off ts immature, and a darnn thief. There's no sense in returning the banner, because the time was taken to make another one. WECU has put time and effort into bringing the students a spring concert, and just hope everyone, except the ciod who stole my banner, enjoys it
On behalf of WECU, Kathy Etter
More Herald sass
To Fountainhead
in response to the “Ebony Herald” denying their bias, wouid like to point out that C. Christopher Elliott's observation was not in error. The blackwhite schism that Mr. Elliott detected in the Heraid’s reporting is clearly evident in the attitude of the editor of the Heraid. in fact, he says himself that the black (note the editor of the Herald capitalizing black and executing similar justice to white in last Thursday's issue of the Fountainhead) point of view is going to be different from white point of view no matter what. His attitude, besides being antagonistic suggests that the integration of white and black students at ECU isn't working, i.e. segregation supposedly promotes a harmonious relationship between whites and biacks.
The editor of the Herald asks Mr. Elliott not to call the Herald biased and immediately makes a fool of himself by admitting that Miss Washington's article was biased! Talk about being ‘“narrow- minded™ (if you can’t call a spade a spade, what can you call it?)
The editor goes further to say that they're for real and are going to remain so. That's a very arrogant attitude, especially in view of the fact that the Herald gets their money from the students via the SGA. The editor asks why only 50 students of over 10,000 students showe. up for the march. Either the students don’t share the editors sentiments, or the march or both. Hey man the truth does hurt! If you don't think the Heraid’s criticism of the student body for not supporting its view is coming down on campus, what is?
anti-American sentiment not new
Continued from page 8.
representative. wish only to establish the continuity of the negative attitudes; from the 1700's to the 1970's, the weepers and waiers, the deplorers and defamers have been prominent among the intellectuals.
Why?
To be out of step is comprehensible. A 'ree society encourages each to go his own way But anit-Americanism has not displayed the random, ecoentric character- istics One would have expected from 'gnly individualistic, isolated people. The responses have been uniform, predictable, almost ritual in nature. They Seem the utterances not of free thinkers, 6acnh wandering off in his own direction, but rather of people keeping time to the deat of a drummer, albeit a drummer different from the one who set the pace for their countrymen
The name of the tyrant for Poe was mob The ever-present fear of the intellectual is that of being swamped by the masses around him who threaten to Cush cherished cultural values in the Needless pursuit of their own interests. The danger is greater in a democracy than 'N@ Stratified society where the location of power is clear and where an appeal to the
enlightened sovereigncan go a long way. The popular will is a danger, not only in politics where it insists on wrong preferences, but also in every aspect of life
Yet being an American, the intellectual is reluctant to withdraw. Does he not owe it to the public to communicate through the Today Show, or the book club, or the pages of Playboy? The temptations of opportunity draw him into a competition in which he is doomed. Those who succeed despise themselves as weil as the suckers who make them rich and famous; those who taste the fall of frustration. frustration
The lust for power compounds the dilemma. Every citizen is, or should be, a participant in politics. Ought not the wisest and best-informed make a special effort to shape policy? From Henry Adams to Ezra Pound to Norman Mailer, the certainty of knowing better than others has corrupted writers who aspired, directly or indirectly, to govern and who came to hate the people who refused to follow.
Such elements have been constant. But the social changes of recent decades have increased their impact. The increase
in the number of service and related occupations, the expansion of the bureaucracies in government and education, and the formalization of many sets of technical skills have vastly expanded the ranks of the intellectuals and parainteliectuais. As a result, a crowd of uneducated college graduates lead lives of quiet desperation at little desks across which nothing of consequence ever moves. They form a growing part of the intellectual audience but they share few
experiences with people not like themselves Some bit of knowledge is their
capital. That they treasure. But know. ledge as a whole has become complex, diffuse, and abundant-—beyond the grasp of any individual. Outside the domain he has mastered, each person acquires opinions at second or third hand, more often reading reviews than books, enjoying the critic rather than the performance. Hence, all are carried along by gusts of fashion and are particularly susceptible to waves of self-hatred. The cry is the same, but echoing in the emptiness, it acquires a shrill intensity.
Mr. Elliott raised hell because he sees hypocracy in the Heraid’s point of view. Furthermore, nobody on carpus is scared of the Herald and will admit it. May suggest to the editor to take those two by fours he incorrectly attributed to Mr. Elliott and shove them! !?
Signed, Big Brother is watching you
Author responds
To Fountainhwad :
have read ali three of the letters that have been written about my article on Johann Little. I'm sorry if have offended anybody with it. would just like to Say @ few things that think need to be said
1) have sat back and not not Gone my job, because should have been the person answering Mr. Elliott's letter not Brian Kelsey
2) It is not my fault that Mr. C.C. Elliot ™ has a guilt complex about what was said my article. What wrote may have bet somewhat opinionated, but mos. of it was the truth. Like Mr. Kelsey said the truth does hurt
3) would like to attack Mr. Elliott's Statement about student funds. hate to inform you, Mr. Elliott, but arn a student of ECU too. The blacks here amount to 5 percent of the student population. We should get without having to beg, at least 5 percent of ail student funds generated at ECU. for one, am tired of hearing people say, “! don't mind my funds going to a black nespaper as long as they print what we want to hear.” That's a bunch of stuff. Biacks have been funding the FOUNTAIN- HEAD, Mendenhall! and other things, that don't do anything for us, or any of the minorities. So let's not talk about where funds should go.
4) Personally think the thing that has Mr. Elliott most upset is just the fact that finally the blacks have a paper. in this
paper the biacks are allowed to express
their opinions freely. isn’t about time that you hear a second opinion o. ertain issues or can't you handie it?
5) Finally, Mr. Randy Guptill and Mr. C.C. Elliott, would only implore that you reread my article. say nothing about the whites being aware of anything. say “people” beware. if that's being a bigot, I'm sorry, or maybe it's that you two men enough to handle the truth. my dear friend Mr. Guptili, is a very word to call a person you really know. (But would like to meet both you and Mr. Elliott to you are coming from). Guilt

ECU clinches Commissioner’s Cup
Although it has not officially been announced by the conference yet East Carolina, by virtue of last week's results in the conference track, tennis and golf champronships, has fepeaied as the Commissioner s Cup champion, symbolic of athletic excellence in Southern Conference sports for a second consecutive year
With only baseball remaining to decide the champion, ECU stood 12 point behind Appalachian State in the Commissioner Cup standings. Since the Pirates have clinched at least a tie for third (their exact finish depends on a Friday garne with the Citadel) and Appalachian can finish no higher than sixth, the difference will be enough for ECU to nose out the Mountaineers
Going into the spring sports, ECU had led William and Mary 45 12 to 45, in the point standings, with ASU third with 43 points
in the spring sports, ECU piaced second in golf and track while the indians were seventh in golf and first in track. The Mountaineers picked up ground on the Pirates in tennis, where they placed first
For the year, ECU placed first in only two conference recognized sports. gwirnming and wrestling, but came up with four seconds in the other ten sports to build then lead
SC to decide on Western
The Southern Conference will decide Friday on Western Carolina University $s bid
enter the conference in the league's annual spring meeting of conference ‘hoers and Athletic Directors
The decision on Western Carolina is expected to Nave @ major impact on the trection the conference plans to go in the ‘uture, according to several conference authorities
Aliso under consideration will be a ec1s10n on the basketball tournament ‘format the conference wishes to adopt for ext year
Western Carolina has been actively Seeking admission to the conference for 'he last year and the conference must vote aS !o whether to approve the school. WCU 5 located in Cullowhee, N.C
21x votes will be necessary to approve Western Carolina's admittance and it appears unlikely the Catamounts can muster the support
First, the conference aiready has a number of member schools in North Carolina. Another factor in the decision wil be the effect Western's possible aoMssion might have on conterence prestige
Other stumbling blocks are Western's geographic location and the lack of a 'raditional rival for the school
The serious talk of expansion has aisen in the loot few months after Richmond Served notice of its plans to ‘Cave the conference in June, 1976. Setore the conference considers Western for admittance, it must vote on whether to expand at this time. Only if the conference decides to expand will Western Carolina be considered for admittance
Continued on page 16.
Besides golf and track, ECU placed second in basketball and Indoor Track. The only first division finish was in football, where ECU tied for third with Richmond
William and Mary and ASU. on the
other hand, each finished with three championships each The Indians placed first in cross
country. Outdoor track and indoor track ASU won soccer, riflery and tennis. In addition, William and Mary was second in wrestling and ASU finished a surprise second in football
Other conference champions were Furman in basketball and golf, and VMI in football. The Citadel has clinched the baseball for their only title
Wilmington
East Carolina's baseball squad took a tnp to Wilmington Tuesday and came away on the short end of a 42 score, which ended the Pirates’ longest winning streak of 1975 at three games, losing to UNC-Wilmington
It took the Seahawks awhile to down the Pirates, though, as it was not until the seventh inning that they were able to score otf Pirate starter Steve Herring
And it was not until the fifth that ECU was able to score, as neither team had too good a night at the plate ECU managed only four hits and UNC-W collected five
The team’s lackluster play at the plate Seemed tO Carry Over into the field as the Pirates made four errors and Wilmington commutted three. Unfortunately for the Pirates, their errors proved more costly than those of the Seahawks
Both tears threatened several times, but it was not until the fifth these threats yieided any runs
in the fifth, the Pirates finally got on the board Bruce Leary walked and moved to third following a steal and a throwing error He then came in on Geoff Beaston’s sacrifice fly to give ECU a 1-0 advantage
in the sixth, the Pirates added another run when Steve Bryant scored on a passed bail. Bryant had walked, moving to third on a Ron Staggs single
Up to the seventh, Herring had been rolling along on a one-hitter, but in the seventh the root fell in on the Pirates
UNC-W's Bobby Schupp walked and Howie Edgerton singled him on to third. Robbie tvey then walked to load the bases. The next batter, Jerry Yandrick, grounded the ball to Steve Bryant, but Bryant furndied the bali. The error allowed Schupp and Edgerton to score, tying the game at 2-2
Last year was the first year since 1969-1970 that William and Mary had not won the Commissioner s Cup outright, and in 1969 they tied with ECU for the cup
Win or lose Friday, the ECU baseball team need not worry about the Commissioner's Cup being at stake. For witheven a third-place tie, ECU will end up with 66 12 points. The best Appalachian will finish with is 65 points and William and Mary will finish third with 60 points.
In baseball, the Citadel has clinched first place, Davidson second and ASU, William and Mary and VMI finished sixth, seven and eight. Only Furman, Richmond, and ECU are undecided. if ECU wins Friday, they will finish third.

The loss went to Reavis, making him 5-3 for the year, as ECU failed to score in the ninth
It was a shame Staggs error helped lose Tuesday's gare, because he went two-for-four at the plate, raising his season average to 388
The win put UNC-Wilmington’s seasonal record at 18-8. The Seahawks will meet ECU once more this season. The contest will come on May 10 in Greenville in the final game of the regular season for

As the 1975 Southern Conference athletic season is closing, only one spot in the baseball race is undecided and that is third place
With the East Carolina nine at 8-5 in the conference and Furman and Richmond tied at 86, the ECU team must win ther final conference game to clinch third
The Pirates’ opponent in that final contest will be the Citadel Bulidogs, which makes the task a hard one.
The reason being the Citadel has already clinched the conference title, 20-5 for the season, at 11-2 in league play. in addition, the Bucs play the Bulidogs on their home diamond in Charleston, S.C.
The Pirates, however, have turned the trick of beating the Citadel once earlier this season when they downed the Bulidogs in Greenville last Saturday, 8-6, to break an eight-game Bulidog winning streak.
if the Pirates lose, they will finish tied with Furman and Richmond for third, instead of placing third outright. Davidson has clinched second with a 10-4 conference record
Prior to the 4-2 loss to UNC-Wilming-

Time-out
By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor
Well, after a year of surprises, disappointments and disputes it appears as if the East arolina athletic teams will repeat as the conference's Commissioner Cup champion for i second year And how did we get there? It appears as if it came through a balanced curriculum in
a1! sports. Whereas the football, basebai and cross country seasons fell below the rmal level of achievement for those sports. Several other athletic teams were highly
ace t oo
the fall, our athletic teams were disappointing. Except for one fer new coach Curtis Frye, the ECU soccer team completed its first winning finishing at 7-4. At the same time, the ECU team perhaps gained more state nce recognition by defeating three ACC schools ‘Duke, Carolina tate. The soccer tearm was probably the highlight of the fall sports season
the same time, Pat Dye’s first year at the heim of the East Carolina football team
d ily successful at 7-4. It 1s only fair to point out that of the four defeats, only the season ending VMI game, found the Pirate team badly outplayed. With a few might have finished at 10-1. But, breaks are the nature of
eee revert
Which brings us to the winter sports. One can not begin an assessment of the season, without saying that East Carolina was far and away the class of the conference in tear spoons
tig rifle competition
J did the Pirates fail to place either first or second
The winter yrelded ECU its only two titles, swimming and wrestling, in events which ECU has continued to dominate year after year
ECU has won conference swimming for nine straight years and wrestling for four
ght years. A tribute to both coaches, swimming coach Ray Scharf and wrestling
ach Jonn Welborn hart s tearm did extremely well in post-season play, placing fifth in the Eastern Reqgiona and sending five swimmers to the nationals. Welborn’s troops had a !isappointing post-season, but did send seven wrestlers to the NCAA championships
Perhaps the two greatest achievements of the year came in the winter. The first, was the reincarnation of East Carolina's sagging basketbal! program, and the second was the
nveiling of a pair of freshmen track recruits, Carter Suggs and Larry Austin.
Vnat Dave Patton did to the basketball team is hard to describe briefly. He took a lying program which was drawing little interest and transformed it into a state-wide phenomenon. Not only did he make ECU a conference power, but he coached his team to a 19-9 season, the best record ever, and took ECU to the National Collegiate Commissioners Tournament in Louisville. Most importantly, he established a foundation for many years to come. Patton's job with the ECU team has to be classified as THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR in East Carolina sports
The track duo of Suggs and Austin brought power to the already rich program by Jiving the Bucs a national sprint tandem
After a second-place finish in the conference meet, the ECU team was represented nationally by Suggs in both the NCAA finals and at the Kansas Relays, where Suggs placed third in a nationally-oriented field
The winter season left a lot for the spring sports to live up to and the teams in the pring did their Dest to dO so
But, the roles were reversed. The basebal! team which was supposed to be the ciass f the conference, failed to be such, but the golf and tennis teams proved to surpass their expectations set forth for them n golf, coach Bill Cain started the season without knowing what to expect. Cain had y two golfers returning from the previous year, but he soon found out his “diamonds in the rough’ could play after all. Well enough to place second in the conference for a second year in a row The tennis squad came through with a seventh place finish, the loftiest finish for them in four years, thanks to a more incapable VMI team. Nevertheless, this was an achievement for Wes Hankins and his netters And again there was Carter Suggs. There was also Tom Watson, Ariah Johnson, Robert Franklin, Maurice Huntley, Jimmy Willett and many others. For the first time in many years, ECU outdoor track seemed to have a chance at winning the conference. They came away with second, for the eighth time in nine years. Neverthe less, with Suggs and a fire-cracker 440 relay tearm the name of East Carolina is becoming known in national track circles Which brings us to probably the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR-—the ECU baseball season. What happened is hard to tell. Perhaps a variety of things were responsible for the team s disappointing showing An early season hitting slump, injuries, lack of unity in the season's opening stages, numerous rain Outs and a rugged March schedule which found ECU evolving as 9-8. All of these can be credited, in varying degrees, with the team’s failure to live up to everyone jelse's expectations. But, basically, the team’s competition was just better, both in and lout of the league individually, there were many names of note this year. They span many sports, from football to baseball in the next weeks, as ask all my writers to consider their choice for Athiete of the Year, I'm sure many different athietes will come to mind.
There is Danny Kepiey, Brad Smith, and Bucky Moser from the fall sports. Winter tandouts were Suggs, Willie Bryant, John McCauley, Gary Pabst, Tim Marriott, Bob er, Larry Hunt, Gregg Ashorn and Austin
Spring had its stars, too. Baseball's Ron Staggs, Suggs, and golf had many players f equal note
Of all these athietes, perhaps three or four will stand out above the rest, but one fact emains, East Carolina athietic fans have been treated to a great season


And would like to extend my thanks to you all. .

WCU Continued from page 15.
Members of the conference have noticed two factors which seem to point towards an unfavorable decision to expand
First, many have noticed the success which the Atlantic Coast Conference has had working with only seven teams, having operated with less expense and less conference games
The other factor is the reputation the conference is gaining with the de-emphasis of athietics at Davidson and what effect Western Carolina's admission would have on this reputation
The final decision on Western Carolina will be made at 9 a.m. Friday morning with the basketball tournament format to be discussed later the same time
The present tournament format of home first round games and semi-final and final games being held in one city is expected to be continued
