criticizes US oil policy
By SAM NEWELL Staff Writer
Or. Tarik Al-Rawi, cultural Attache from ‘aq, last Thursday presented a formal ecture in which he criticized the American titude toward the oil crisis Ot! is not the only problem the worid economy is facing,” said Al-Rawi. “The inited States wants to freeze the price of yet refuses to freeze the price of “anutactured goods. Machinery, wheat, Steel and other manufactured goods are needed by developing nations. You 2nnot freeze the price of oil when manufactured goods increase 30 to 40 percent per year The world economy is weaved logether,” he said, “and you cannot isolate one element and try to treat it.” iraq is the eighth largest producer of oi "(he world, Al-Rawi said. “In 1972 the oil ‘i@ids in Iraq were nationalized. Previously ‘faq was paid for its oil by a tax revenue The Iraqi government asked the oil! ‘IPanies to increase production to Dring ¥10ed revenue into the country. The vil mpanies replied that this was economically unteasibie’,” he continued. One year after the wells were nationalized 'Ne Iraqui government made more from oil fevenues than in the previous twelve years 'raqui industry produces a number of OAaSiC products, according to Al-Rawi ome products are textiles, cement, ‘edical drugs, petroleum chemicals, and fertilizers Ownership of the industries is divided hree groupings,” said Al-Rawi, “the -vermnment sector, where certain factories ve Built and run by the government; the ‘t sector where ownership is part jovernment; and the private sector, the “6CLOr where private individuals own the

company. Ownership of industry is determined by the Minister of Planning.
The oi revenues have enabled the government to provide free education for iraqi students. “Elementary education is mandatory,” said Al-Rawi. “Those that wish may go to high school. All those students that can be accomodated can go to a university.
“There are five universities capabie of hagdiing a total of about 40,000 to 50,000 students. This is about 40 percent of those who graduate from high school,” he added
The government has also provided a Scientific Mission program, he said. “About 1500 students who qualify receive government scholarships to study abroad The government pays their tuition along with a reguiar salary. The students enter and study under a variety of programs. We would be very happy to see some iraqi students here (at ECU) but as of yet there is no formal program,” Al-Rawi said
The iraqi government is striving to improve its standard of agriculture, according to Al-Rawi. At present the government has established a five year plan during which it plans to pour $18 billion into the agricultural program. By 1980 Iraq will be agriculturally self-sufficient and hopes to feed Kuwait

Marching Pirates in trouble
EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

SGA vetoes
By TM SULLIVAN Staff Writer
The SGA Legislature voted down a bill by a vote of 18 to 11 which would have paid over one-haif of the budget for ECU's Marching Pirates. The session, the iast for this year's SGA and the longest, gave the most time to the plight of the marching band, which had found itself without financial backing.
The argument for the $8800 appropriation centered on the fact that without the money the student band, which has grown in popularity and in professionalism over the past few years, would be in for difficult times and painful budget cuts. The athietic department, which normally funds the Marching Pirates, will not budget iully the band because it feeis it does not have the funds. The department has a budget of $900,000, according to debate in SGA.
The opponents of the bill felt that the athietic department did have the money but would not spend it, hoping SGA would take up the slack. SGA President Jimmy Honeycutt, who opposed the Dill, promised to fight for a fairer budget from the athietic department at the Athletic Council meeting. With that meeting in mind, the SGA voted through a resolution in support of Honeycutt's efforts for the

“We're calling it, ‘If Were King ¢ ECU, the First Thing Would Do ts” said. “It may sound a iittle funny, b there are a lot of problerns on this carng SGA hasn't found answers to and we't taking the contest seriously.”
Honeycutt stated that prizes would b given, including a first place award of portable TV. Aiso, a radio, hair blower $10.00 gift certificates to local shops be given away
“The gifts are needed for incentive the ECU senior said. “it is not a waste funds if we can get some truly wo ideas fromm the students. The SGA year will not stagnate - it will be an act one, and want a lot more student input.
Some guidelines were also drawn up b President Honeycutt and his cabinet. essays should be types, five pag minimum, and should take one problem ECU that needs correcting and offering well thought-out solution to it
The probierns needs to be specific, feasible, or, as Honeycutt put “something the SGA could realistically c something about.”
The deadline for the essay contest not finalized but it will probably fail in lat October. Judges frorn different areas o the campus will be chosen to pick winners.

Tourism concern for Bicentennial
Washington, D.C. To tour or not to tour? That is the question more and more americans are asking as the nation's aicentennial commemoration moves into tne focal years of 1975 ans 1976
While some have already made rete plans, the answer for many thers lies In answers to a series of related yestions Where is the best place to go for the Bicentennial? Will there be so many mists that there iS a serious threat to neaith and safety’ Will we have a place to stay’? Will tt be so Crowded that we won't pe able to see and expenence the things we nave traveled far to visit? Would we be hetter off Staying home? There are no simple answers to these questions but the problems they raise are f concern not only to prosepctive Bicentennial travelers Dut to local, state and Federal officials involved in the Bicentennial, the tour and travel industry and sponsors of Bicentennial events
Recognizing the dilemma facing both
vravelers and communities, the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration ARBA) is working with all concerned in an effort to focus attention on potential roDnems
Jonn W. Warner, Administrator of the ARBA, stated recently: “Under the law, the ARBA cannot become directly involved
n tourism but it is Our hope to stimulate operation ana encourage advance preparations and specific solutions.”
Unlike most other nations, the US does not have a national tourist agency to promote travel, develop tourist information and assistamt programs, compile statist cal Gata needed for accurate forecasting, develop and disseminate specific
nformation on events and attractions for tourists
instead, on an official level, toursm is ihe. responsibility of state travel or economic development bureaus which strive to attract visitors to their respective States for economic reasons. in some states — Florida, Virginia and Hawaii, for nstance — tourism is a major industry, vital to the economy. In others, it has less Mportance
Regardiess of the normal impact of tourism within each state, there is a general agreement that the Bicentennial will increase the number of visitors in just about every region and locality — putting unusual stress on available spaces and Sanitary facilities.
‘


The problems of tourism are Complicated by the very nature of the Bicentennial which is literally being Celebrated from one end of the nation to the other. The Bicentennial is a commemoration of the full 200 years of the nations history, from revolutionary roots through the walk on the moon. Thousands of events of varying magnitude will take place over the next two years, presenting many choices for short and long-distance visitors
in an effort to provide Americans with a full choise of places to go and things to Go, the ARBA will publish national and regional calendars of Bicentennial events beginning this summer. The Calendars will be made available to the travel and tour industry and the nation’s print and broadcast media in the hope that the information will then become available to the genera! public
As an added assistance to travelers, the ARBA has authorized the use of the national Bicentennial symbol on inform ational materials issued by the travel and tour industry, and on highway signs and markers across the country to guide tourists to Bicentennial sites
A number of larger cities with Bicentennial events oriented toward large audiences have greatly increased and improved visitor facilities and transport- ation systems. These include Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. For the most part, it is too late to begin major construction. Teh ARBA does believe, however, that much can still be done in the area of visitor services
Visitor services range from accomoda- tions and simple courtesy to the special problems of foreign visitors involving language barriers and money exchange probiems.
Though visitor services and related problems can be described generally, solutions can only be found on a community basis. What is a critical need in one city may not be a problem in the next town.
In 1973, the ARBA undertook a Home Hospitality Survey which revealed that almost one haif of the respondents wouid be willing to have a foreign guest in their home without compensation and nearly as many would house an American visitor
Of those responding positively, most would welcome visitors regardiess of race, religion or national origin and many would be willing to accompany guests to local
atiraction sites,
oe


ARBA also conducted a study of the low cost accomodations. The listing of actual facilities was shared with the Council on international Education Exchange (CIEE) for inciusion in their directory “Where to Stay, USA” which is available for $2.95. The paperback contains details on approximately 1,250 low cost (under $9.00) accomodations, as well as information on bus, train, plane and bike transportation and hitchhiking
The booklet can be purchased in book stores or from CIEE, Department EH, 977 U.N. Plaza, New York New York 10017 or 235 East Santa Clara Street, San Jose, California 96113
Another result of the study will be a handbook outlining the problems and potential solutions for setting up low cost accomodations in a community. The ARBA will soon be sending it to Bicentennial Communities and others with known interst
The ARBA will aiso provide the industry with updated data from travel surveys which will be conducted in two waves in 1975 and 1976
The dimensions of the problems are well illustrated by a recent survey on potential visitors to Bicentennial sites and events on the East Coast during 1976. In the survey, each person was counted as one visitor at each historical location or event visited per day. The survey was conducted for the Bicentennial Council! of the Thirteen Original States by the Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies.
Presented as estimates rather than predictions the survey revealed a maximum potential of 875 million visitors to the East Coast during 1976. The minimum potential is 422 million. It is the difference that highlights the problems.

planners
While the maximum potential creates some apprehension, the travel and to industry reports that at present there is na sign of overbooking in high impact areas.
Jonn W. Warner, Administrator of t ARBA, in discussing Bicentennial travel, makes the following points
(1) The Bicentennial is the celebratio of America. There will be thousands of programs and events commemorating local and regional heritage and the varied ethnic and racial cultural background © the nation’s people. Seeing America in it rich diversity is a good way to see t Bicentennial. People should conside shorter trips without overnigm stays
(2) Many Americans want to visit t nation’s Capital, and the many historic revolutionary war sites in the original 13 states, but they should make sure they have confirmed reservations before embarking on long-distance trips $
(3) Visitors to heavily trafficked sites shouid make use of special public transportation and other public services provided
For Americans generally, whether planning a trip or not, Mr. Warner has these words: “The Bicentennial is a time for coming together. The World has been invited to come visit uS and see the results of this great experiment in self-govern- ment. itis atime for a renewal of our spirit of hospitality
“if each of us, as individuals, makes a special effort to make visitors weicome, in small towns and large cities, the experiences of our guests will be ple and memorabie.”

Dear David
Knowing you and your writings through the Poetry Forum, am actually not amazed that your criticism of the man was as harsh as it was. Of course the man had his faults, weaknesses, even a few well-worm cliches. But, David, your article was full of critic-cliche material that have heard before and am quite sad to have seen them. He did describe settings, and did explain a ‘ew of his works, but do not believe that it destroyed the force of his words, at least not to the extent that you spoke of.

To be relatively harsh with you, David, yOu are an extreme critic, you write poetry, but your critic-mind stops you from being a “poet”, within the boundaries of your definition. YOu may be a sensitive critic, but you, being as young and intense as you are, have no right to say that Mr. Grey is not a poet. For you, perhaps he is not, but the concept of taste exists as a type of democracy. ! realize that a political word does not belong in a newspaper. Poetry can be listened to, as well as read, sung, and ignored. Why do you attend readings if you say poetry must be raad. not heard? Bullshit?

recorders created a far to mechanical undertone to the film. In several places a newsreel would have served the same purpose. Fosse also seemed to be trying to force tidbits of factual information into the film simply because it was an actual occurance in Bruce's life As a result we see loose ends in the filn that not only appear out of context but also never serve to do anything for the film At one point Lenny’s manager is recalling a phase that Lenny went through about Studying law and First Amendment rights The obvious conclusion is that since he was beginning to have a little trouble with the law and since he was always being yoscenity charges now he would be able to defend himself or at least

The ECU Symphony and 7he Boyfriend
By JEFF ROLLINS Staff Writer
An outstanding concert of modern and oressionistic Music was performed last Sunday afternoon by the East Carolina ymonony Orchestra under conductor Rohnert Hause. Works by Britten, Ravel, hn Davye, Debussy and Copland were Benjamin Britten's Soirees Musicales,” a guite of five movements, was very interesting, if a bit overly ‘yiized. The piece begins with a spirited march and continued through some ntensely beautiful movements. On the whole, though, the work is stilted. The rchestra played the second movement, the ‘Canzonetta,” very delicately, and it was that Movement which Comprised most f the substance of the piece Jonn Davye’s piece, “Sinfonetta for tring Orchestra” is a work of some nterest also. He captures us for a second but no longer. The piece tends to come off very whiney, aS do so many other ntemporary pieces. It seems as if many ‘ today's composers have nothing to do but to explore the neurosis of modem man. The piece is worth a listen, though, because it is not entirely uninspired. Robert Hause is a terribly good onductor. His control throughout the lance episodes from Copland’s “Rodeo” was superb. From the very tender and moving “Saturday Night Waltz” to the
immensely exciting “MoeUown,” Hause proved himself an excellent interpreter of Aaron Copland, who is perhaps the greatest of American composers. The folksy motif combined with the sophisticated orchestration of this music makes for an exciting, entertaining work Copland is a good composer to perform. and nowhere could he have been given better treatment than here
Debussy's “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” was one of the highlights of this concert. This, one of the most sensitive works in ail of music, was played exceptionally well. At times, it seemed, the orchestra could have moved a bit more sharply and distinctly. “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” is a marvellously sensual, subtle work, however, at times, the orchestra sounded fuzzy and indefinite. This performance of the well-known piece was very effective over-all, though, and we hope to hear more of Debussy’s orchestral works in the future
The “Concerto in D for the Left Hand’ by Ravel was tremendous. The concerto begins with low, dark, ominous sound coming for the cellos and violas. Then sunrise! Spring! the birth of Christ! The orchestra soars beautifully, as only Ravel can soar. Peter Takacs has a mastery over the difficult material that is near virtuosic. Takacs interpretation and execution are brilliant. His powerful style is perfect for the sensuous, holy, exotic music of Ravel.

A musical! A musical! Everybody loves a good musical. The East Carolina Piaynhouse production of “The Boy Friend”, directed by Edgar Loessin, was a real success, aS the large audiences will attest
The play is introduced as a “pastiche of the “tittering twenties” in England Tittering” it certainly is, indeed, too much of “tittering’. “The Boy Friend” is at best a second-rate musical. The songs are for the most part biand and more derivative than they should be, and the dialogue is immitatingly Characaturish
Although the play itself isn't very strong, East Carolina's production was surprisingly good. The ECU Playhouse seems to be loaded with energy and talent The cast sang well, for the most part, and the dancing was excellent
Joe Badgett. Tony, who has an excellent voice and a reaily charming stage presence, and Amy Boyce, Polly, who sings consistently well from opera to musicals, combined to be a phenomenal team. Their duet “! Could Be Happy With You" ts the most arresting song of the show. Both of these young people have real potential, a potential that is becoming more and more reality
Although at times shaky. the choreography was done with professional verve and near precise execution. The voices and orchestra biended extremely weil

Editorials‘Commentary
Allina year’s work
Looking back over the year see many stories that could have been written, should have been written. see editorials that could have revealed a little more, perhaps have taken a stronger stand. But must say that the year has been a full one, full of many changes, achievernents and shortcomings as weil
FOUNTAINHEAD was too often lambasted this year for not jumping on issues and creating riots, revealing scandais. IN defense of this! say, it is extremely hard to jump on issues with the purpose of creating riots when there just aren't any to jump on. The tempestuous years of the sixties have faded away into past issues of the FOUNTAINHEAD and we are left with a much calmer environment. The college newspapers still searching for radical exposes must be floundering in a gray mist. It has now become the purpose of college papers to report the truth as well as possible and face up to the humdrum reality of living in a world where nearly everything is passe’
Nevertheless, since you are our readers, and since you are the origins of our financial security, one brief look at FOUNTAINHEAD’s exploits may interest you. This year we have grown from a 12 page paper to a 16 and 20 page publication with several 24 page issues. Do you know that that makes FOUNTAINHEAD the largest student newspaper in the state and possibly in the southeast. If that does not impress you, perhaps this word may help, FOUNTAINHEAD is entirely extra curricular, in other words, no Ciass credit is awarded for the numerous hours spent working to inform the students. No faculty nor administration is involved in any way except, as students, to supply information for print
A month ago, we moved into a new publication center, not quite finished yet, Dut at least operable. This in itself is a giant step, for now all publications (except EBONY HERALD) are under the same roof
For the efforts of the hardworking staff, the FOUNTAINHEAD was awarded a First Place rating in broad competition at Columbia University sponsored Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Associated Collegiate Press also deemed FOUNTAINHEAD a First Class publication. We were applauded for having excellent coverage of such a large campus with so many students. Also cited for merit were our efforts at fair and unbiased coverage, attractive page designs, imaginative layout, student written articles and apealing to a large interest, as well as our coverage of city and state news (occasionally even national)
There is also an advantage to working on the staff of a newspaper. That is, that we (up here) are in a better seat to see what is going on all over campus. We see the rivairies bet ween some faculty over released information on individual salaries, the conservatism of the administration, the issues before the SGA legisiature, numereus problems students face. Some of the better things we saw this year were the two times that students joined behind an issue in opposition. I'm referring to the referendum against fee increase to fund new lighting at Ficklen Stadium and the rally to voice protest at a State tuition increase for nex year. These were mostly prompted by the SGA with coverage and publicity in FOUNTAINHEAD, and for these as well as some other attainments, the SGA can be congratulated. A few of the younger legislators are really whips in the legisiature and do not hesitate to jump all over some issues and tear them jown to the bone. If these people continue in the legislature, can only hope no one has any ideas of trying to get anything by them, mean anything, unless it can stand up to the mucroscope test
Another initiation of the SGA, and one worth mention, is the retreat program. It is about time students and tacuity began to know one another in a more relaxed situation where departmental suggestions and changes can be discussed freely. Students are the NES paying to attend the classes and if we are mature enough to enroll in college, we are mature enough to have a part in talking over aspects of the departments with our
olleques and professors. This is one new program which can only benefit by being allowed to continue
In final summary, would like to be so selfish and unprofessional as to vindicate myself on certain matters. Anyone in public service and in the public light, so to speak, iS liable for criticism -— plenty of it. Uniess you sit in a corner with a blanket over your head you can't expect not to be cut down, tagged and smeared, no matter how justly or unjustly. That is an occupational hazzard. t is also rather chailenging
However, will say here, for the record, am not prejudiced against sororities and fraternities, not arm a racist. don't remember anything have said or done in my past three years at ECU to deserve these tags and, being human, resent being called such by those who do not know me. The person who has headed up your student paper this year iS Merely a junior History major from Arizona who, having been involved with newspapers for the past nine years, decided to try it once again. My only intention this year has been, along with the intentions of my staff, to inform you, the readers of what is going on in your school, city and state, with or without your money and interest, sometimes without your knowledge. That is the only reason we have been up here ali year. don't know why we care, except that someone has to, don't you agree?
And for all those who felt slighted or run over by FOUNTAINHEAD this past year, we are only a handful of people up here doing the very best we can. We too are students, young people and tied up. We've worked for you this year, with no real regrets. We hope FOUNTAINHEAD was useful to you and that at times aroused your interest in important matters
Next year's editor, Mike Taylor (who, contrary to many rumors, is not in any way related to me) will take FOUNTAINHEAD even further. Good luck to you al! next year Good by

nave been following Mr. Nystroms’ reviews and have begun to find them extremely revolting. Lightly speaking would say he is full of shit. Of course things are not what they used to be, but what can you expect with Clapton burned out on heroin and Zeppelin fighting the Styles until they can produce their real sound. Most of the rest have just slowed down for a while because there is really nothing to write about. If Nystrom thinks he is being ripped-off perhaps he should try to go through what these guys are. hope we can expect to see reviews in the future which are not so biased towards the perfection of the Beaties or so contradictory to themselves. think it is time Nystrom cut down on his diet of spaghetti and Ragu Sauce. His noodies are definitely becoming weil-greased.

Vending machine bust
To Fountainhead :
One morming last week, two students and two of their friends (invited here by the swimming team) were arrested for breaking and entering into the basement of Scott, a felony
have not talked to these people but as understand it, they jimmied open the door but not to rip off the machines but only to buy some stuff. (Many people have done this before and it was getting to be regular habit.) Before they could reach the machines, two policemen, who had been hiding in the basement, arrested them.
My question is: Why should the basement be locked in the first place? Scott dorm, like other dorms, was built for students with the intent for the students to use. Why doesn't that include the basement? the basement in the women dorm is available 24-hrs. a day, why not the men dorms.
It seems to me that if Thorpe Vending Company wants to protect their machines, why don't they hire their own guards
instead of using the carnpus police, whose salaries come from our funds and taxes. Shouidn't that be against the iaw - using state and student funds to protect the welfare of a private enterprize. if Thorpe is scared that their machines will be ripped off, then get the damn things out of the dorms, they don't work haif the time anyway.
To the four students who got arrested, am sorry that you have to be the unlucky ones to suffer for a mistake. have been to the SGA about this and they think it is very unfair. also have an appointment with the SGA lawyer to see if we can get the charges reduced or let the Honor Council handie it instead of a criminal count.
in the meantime, to the four guys, please let me know if can help vou and again apologize for this mistake and wish you the best of luck.

Time out, again
To Fountainhead : Att: John Evans
have enjoyed reading your Time Out columns throughout the year, but now have to take exception to one remark made iN a recent column.
You stated that, in summarizing the ECU sports year, that basebal! would have to rate as the biggest disappointment of
the year
fail to see the logic in this statement. Footbal with more budget, more personnel and, more importantly, more status, finished in a tie for third place in the conference. They hadt© ocplace nearly

Basebai, meanwhile, had to replace Six Starters (full time) and a pitching staff of two who finished ranked nationally in Certain categories. in short, at ieast 80 percent of the tearm was missing that won the 1974 championship. Take that much away from any team and you will have problems. The 1975 Pirates have had a 9-5 conference record this year, earning them an outright third place finish. So that team actually gained more for the school, even though the school put considerably less into the program,

s Student Union hiding?
To Fountainhead
Here at ECU there is an organization called the Student Union. Surprised? You shouldn't be, but the truth is many Students know very little about this important programming organization. The Student Union had a budget of $250,000 this year, which is $3.50 per student, per quarter. Much is written about the ways the SGA spends money. Every Monday at 5:00 the SGA hangs out its laundry, whether you see it as Clean or dirty, its there for everyone to see. But what about the Student Union? When was the last time you saw detailed figures about their finances? Which concerts make money, which lose? Who gets paid salaries and how much? When are the pros and cons of the issues discussed and reported to the Fountainhead with both sides? These questions and many more need answering.
Recently a statement was made by Gary Massie, 1972 Student Union
president, in the articie of May 6, on the Student Union installation Banquet, “We wanted to bring the programming at ECU up to professional level, away from the politics of the SGA.”
Perhaps what Mr. Massie is saying is, away from the eyes of the SGA, away from the eyes of the student's representatives who are responsible to them
Did you hear anything about how much the Student Union's banquet cost? I'm sure you know about the SGA’'s banquet cost, if you read the news articies or my letter in this section on April 15. But did anyone talk about the Student Union's banquet, that it cost more than the SGA’s, that they used student's money to buy liquor. Yes, every Monday SGA hangs out its laundry, dirty or not, but does the Student Union launder its dirt? That's the

Student Union has an operating budget this year of $145,115. budget includes only the anticipated expenses and does not include anticipated receipts as they are not guaranteed revenue.

The 197475 Student Union Films Committee came a long way over a period of just one year. All of the shows were moved from Wright Auditorium to Mendenhall Theater. Ali of the old problems of that facility such as poor acoustics and not exactly quality seating were left behind. Most of the problems that have arisen in Mendenhall have been due to the poor quality of films that we have received and not the fault of the projectionist or technician. Companies will not send us a quality film simple because we do not buy in quantity. The chains of theatres get the first class films because they do buy in Quantity
The 1975-76 Films Committee promises even a better year. We have Started the year by booking the following films for summer.

“Medicine is being developed hand in hand with education and agriculture,” said Al-Rawi. “The medical program is run by the government to provide free medical care to all people. Everyone (doctors) work for the government during the day. The government provides 150 percent of their private salaries tax free for their services Salaries are determined by the degree which a doctor holds. The average doctor gets about $1100 per month,” he said.
In the Iraqi political system the Socialist party is the dominant power, said Al-Rawi. “The objective of the party is the freedom of the people and the unity of the Arab nations,” he said
Several other parties express their political views through the “National Front” an umbrella organization compris- ing all parties and prominent national figures.”
Dr. Al-Rawi holds a Master of Science from the University of Baghdad where he taught while holding the position of Assistant Dean. He entered lowa State University in 1965 and graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1970 with a PhD in Biology

Karate club wins acclaim
Although the ECU Karate Ciub is a relatively unknown group on campus, its reputation has spread throughout the Southeast and the nation—especially as a result of its winning the team trophy at the Battle of Atlanta, a nation-wide karate
tournament that had over 1.200 competitors This win climaxed the 1974-75
tournament year for the team. Members entered eight tournaments and won a total of 142 trophies. Although this is down from last year’s high of 154 trophies won, the average per tournament—18—is better than last year's average. Also this year, three ECU students were rated number one in the South East Karate Association in form or fighting in their respective belt levels for the 1974 competition year When asked about this honor for his students, head instructor Bill McDonaid
replied, “ was never prouder Of the Equ Club or of the Greenvilie Recreation Vepartment Karate Team They hows proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can successfully compete with karate teams from the West and North as wel! po from the Southeast.” McDonald also gave thanks to Dr Eg Hooks and to ECU for its financial suppor which made it possible for the Club te travel to Atlanta and win This is the fires time that a national tournament of this importance has been close enough or the
ECU Club's budget to permit them to attend. Since the Atlanta victory proves that the tearm has the ability, McDonaid is hopeful that next year the Club's budget will be expanded enough so that the team can go to other national tournaments This is especially Significant for ECU since the Karate Club's success is bringing national acciaim to the university

on Staggs: Athlete of the Year
By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor
Ron Staggs seems at home in a hasebal uniform. The hat, the uniform. the shoes ali seem to fit him perfectly. The sight of Staggs at the piate seems to exemplify the classic baseball stance
And when Staggs gets to the plate, he seems more than at home. And 1975 was Staggs year at the plate.
Staggs. this year's FOUNTAINHEAD Athlete of the Year, says it simply when discussing his hitting outlook
just work on hitting the bail,” is ai! the Englewood, Ohio native will tell you and “hit the ball” is surely what he did this year in breaking seven career hitting records
Staggs’ Statistics seem to back up the siugger’s outlook on hitting. For the year, Staggs batted .381 with seven more home runs and 23 runs batted in. Add to that, a season record 22 runs scored and one has the best yuar ever for the slugger.
For Staggs, the week of March 23-29 brought seven records. These records, ail career records, were most at bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs, total bases and runs batted in.
Following that record week, every time Staggs stepped up to the plate he set a record. He finished his four-year career at East Carolina with 333 at bats, 60 runs, 108
hits, 20 doubles, 16 home runs, 175 total bases and 70 runs batted in. In addition, Staggs averaged a walk in every four at bats during the 1975 season, making him even an asset when he did not get a hit.
Staggs' greatest feats, however, could i@ in the future.
Certainly a pro prospect, Staggs showed his real hitting talent last summer in the Valley League when he set the ‘eague on fire as the league's Most Valuable Player, batting .417, with 10 home runs and 40 runs batted in. These igures and those from this past season ae Certainly professional credentiais.
Perhaps, Ron Staggs is lucky the ECU ‘eam will not go to the NCAA Regional baseball playoffs this year, because that fact could lead to his starting a professional career earlier than expected.
Ron Staggs will never suit up in an ECU baseball uniform again, but that by no Teans indicates that ECU sports fans will "ever hear of him again.
ror Staggs’ career is just beginning, wnere his collegiate career is ending

Time-Qut
By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor
SEASON FINALE

sO much for this year in case one wonders, this issue will be the last
i SChool issue of the year. f weenviile, here's hoping your Summer iS a good one
eof you who wil! be in the same boat as , here at good old ECU for summer
4 y will be blessed (?) with the paper once a week this year
ye really enioyed this year as Sports Editor. It's a far cry from the Reviews Editor held the year previous. hope in some way those of you who have stuck with yea q have found reading the FOUNTAINHEAD Sports section entertaining and mative. Even though one might not have always been in agreement with what was said, it has been my policy this year to try keeping the ECU student body up to date as xcurately and completely as could be made possibile
Next year, the ECU students have many things to look forward to as far as East
arolina athletics is concerned. Wil! the new lights help to improve the football team's ecord. or will Pat Dye be less successful in rebuilding the defense than he was in rebuilding the offense this past season
Can our soccer, track and basketbal! teams be as strong next year as this past year Can the cross country and tennis programs be improved upon?
Our basebal! team finished at 17-12, which winds up as a decent season after all, and with 1976 being an even year, their “odd year jinx” won't be in effect. This promises another conference championship
All the ECU Athletic personne! seem as if they will be back next year, even Sports Information Director Ken Smith has decided to stay
So far, it seems Smith is set on breaking the tradition of one year Sports Information Directors. Smith has handled the job well this year and his experience will be an unusual asset to the Sports Information office, along with his competent staff
Basically then, we will have all the “old guard” back next schoo! year ready to improve on their performances this year
We lose Ron Staggs, Danny Kepliey, Gregg Ashorn, Brad Smith and the likes trom our athletic program, but we'll have athletes like Mike Weaver, Steve Bryant, Larry Hunt, Carter Suggs and Tomas Paimgren ready to provide ECU fans with more excitement.
The first athletic event of the 1975-76 school year will be the ECU-N.C. State footbail game in Raleigh on September 6. will be back in the same capacity to report on ECU Sports for you. hope to see you al! then
To you graduating seniors - Congratulations! wish you al! the success and hope have in some way helped to entertain you


Editor's note: received this letter in the mail yesterday and thought would pass it on to you. It is from a member of the media which covers ECU athletic teams, but the
author's name will not be given.
Evans
Congratulations on your column conceming the Southern Con (ha ha) Conference in the last meeting heid in Boone, the Conference came through with the type of infinite wisdom and sure-handed movement that would befit any of the aging geriatrics of which
it is largely composed. They decided they would do nothing. This was done, am sure, to let WCU know that the Southern Conference is worth getting into that by laying the carrot out further in front of the horse, the horse will work harder to get it. If this means urging WCU to complete the upgrading of several of its programs, then fine.
Also, as a member of the news media, challenge you to gather for yourself any form of coherent information from anyone associated with the conference as to records, reports, etc concerning the conference's actions. The conference is the only one in the NCAA that can't get its football statistics to the media on time (therefore they are never used) and still it hires a full-time publicity man. Attempts have been made to upgrade the conference in this area, to get it out of the hangers-on category in competition to theACC, but this has been met by the conference office with disdain. Why? Just like at the last meeting, the head people do not want to do anything. They do not want to take any great strides for fear of making someone mad. in this case, timidity is the handmaiden of boredom and one complaint is worth 10,000 compliments. Stodgy and old, the arteries must be hardening
Well, this is what the people of ECU and the rest of the conference will face. Praise be to Ricmond for their decision. Meanwhile, ECU is content to hang on so it can dominate. Dominate what? Dominate nothing, like the conference meeting. You are —— sO you compete at nothing and you dominate nothing by making nothing
decisions You figure it out

The bat giveth and the bat taketh away That was the story of the 1975 Pirate baseball season. It was as simple as that
Filled with hopes of repeating as Southern Conference champions, the Pirates entered March looking down the barrel of a 36-game schedule. A whopping 21 of those games were scheduled for March, while the remainder would be coming from then until May 10
But with the scheduling, competition, bad weather, etc it was not to be the Pirates year. There were many high points and low ones during the season that a rationalist Could point to as crucial in the Pirate season
Prior to the season's start, outfielder Glenn Card suffered a leg injury that would sideline him for the opening games, as did outfielder Bobby Harrison. So with a somewhat makeshift outfield, the Pirates rolled up a respectable 4-3, 1-1 record prior to going to Davidson for a doubleheader.
Maybe the Pirates could have taken the omens as a group of signs conceming what was going to happen. Rain washed away the Saturday games, and on Sunday the Wiidcats pounded out 2-1 and 64 wins. Suddenly, the Pirates weren't on top any more, but were 1-3 in the conference play :
The Pirates came home, struggied through games with Maryland, Eastern Connecticutt and Duke before ripping VMI 3-2 and 17-0. Were the Pirates finally on the right track? It looked like it just could be.
After a game with UNC was washed out (making a total of six lost in the month of March) the Pirates evened the record at 8-8 with a 52 verdict over Pembroke. From there, the Pirates went on to win nine of the last 13 games, inciuding a pair of victories over new conference cuampion The Citadel
Those victories were important in that they gave ECU the winning edge over ASU in the Commissioner's Cup race (losses would have tied ECU with ASU: as it was, the Pirates finished two places above the Mounties.
Prior to the season's start, the Pirates were faced with taking on the season with a nearly all inexperienced pitching Staff. As it turned out, it was pitching that heid the Pirates together in tight moments.
Whereas the hitting was supposedly sound, giving the Pirates more depth than ever before, there were starters making contact, but just not getting the hits. However, there remained one Pirate hitter who made his own breaks.
“Il just work on hitting the ball,” Rion Staggs will say. And hit he did. The senior first-baseman from Englewood, Ohio, belted the bal! for a 381 average, including seven home runs and 23 runs batted in. Along the way, he set new Pirate career hitting records for at bats (333), runs (60), hits (108), doubles (20), home runs (16), total bases (175), runs batted in (70), tied the record for most runs scored (22), second place for single season hits (37), and heid on to his spot with total bases, second place (66).
Staggs, at times, carried the tra his back, it appeared. but ofte, because of the quiet but steac Steve Bryant. Bryant is so quiet wore an infield-colored wouldnt know he was there would wonder who it was spra, all reaches of the park, steali: will and traveling behind se take away other people's base
There were many outstanding moment and some, tike the Davids header, which weren't quit:
the first game of that doubleheacser the
Pirates loaded the bases in the sixth inning with nobody out, with the fourth fh ang sixth hitters coming to the plate The, didn't score, though, and Davidson was given impetus to win
The Pirates stung the bal! at the end of the season. From Appalachian State on there were but two games in which the Pirates didn't go in double figures with the sticks. They won five of those last six too.
Looking ahead, the Pirates lose Staggs, Harrison, Don Lee, Jack Elkins and Steve Herring from this year's club and the remainder of the cast wi return Pirate head coach George Williams is looking for a pair of pitchers to aid his five-man staff and, with Staggs gone. some hitting punch will be looked for as weil.
in the immediate future, the Pirates are tentatively set to begin play in the North Carolina Collegiate Summer League Williams and assistant coach Monte Little hope those hot bats won't be cooled by the one-month layoff before play vegins, because as it was proven this year ne bal giveth and the bat taketh away
it's as simple as that
