'enth St. overpass debate continues
By DENNIS C.LEONARD
News Editor
The College Hill Drive,
snth St. overpass proposal
again resurface in a
ting to be held in Wash-
Sgtoi, N.C. this Friday with
te Department of Transporta-
The original overpass pro-
was rejected by the De-
rtment of Transportation for
; of funding to construct the
erpass.
SGA Vice-President Greg
ingston has been doing ex-
lensive research on the over-
)ass project and will be
fepresenting ECU at the up-
ling meeting in Washing-
Ion along with SGA President
Tim Sullivan and Speaker of
the House Ricky Price.
According to Pingston the
Department of Transportation
has these community meetings
to discuss any transportational
problems that the oommunity
may have. This meeting in
Washington will be the base
for appealing the rejected
overpass proposal and Pings-
ton has written a formal letter
to the Department of Trans-
portation informing them of
the SGA's intentions.
"The total cost of the
overpass is $178,000, with the
state doing the construction
work, and the university will
take care of the right-of-ways
and the landscaping said
Pingston.

GREG
PINGSTON
SGA
Vice-President
Funding the overpass pro-
ject is the primary problem
and as a result of a statewide
spending curtailment last
spring, the Department of
Transportation has been
rather reluctant to let goof the
money.
"The overpass rejection is
being appealed on the fact that
there has been one accident
per month at the Tenth St
College Hill Dr. intersection
and five were reported be-
tween January and May of
1976. '
According to Pingston
there have been three en-
dorsements of the overpass by
the SGA Legislature, the
Northeast Easter Seals Society
and the Pitt County Board of
Commissioners. All of these
organizations expressed con-
cern over the safety and
welfare of the persons that
have tc cross the hazardous
intersection.
The Board of Trustees
unanimously endorsed the
proposed overpass along with
Dr. Leo Jenkins and other
ECU administrative officials.
The Department of Trans-
portation feels the overpass
project is a feasible solution to
the congestion problem at the
intersection, but so far has
been unwilling to allocate the
funds for the construction of
the overpass.
The meeting is scheduled
for Friday afternoon at 2.00 in
the Superior Court Building in
Washington.

An investigation is continu-

homicide, or suicide.
According to Police Chief,
Glenn Cannon, there is no
evidence to indicate anything
other than accidental death at
this stage.
Dr. Everette E. Jenkins Jr.

Six schools discuss new
athletic conference
I
By MICHAEL TAYLOR
Staff Writer
RICHMOND-Six schools
which sent representatives to a
meeting here last Wednesday
to discuss the possibilty of
forming a new athletic con
ference have decided to meet
again-thistime in Greensboro
in August.
And, in the wake of that
meeting last week two of the
six schools present at that
meeting have announced they
will withdraw from the South-
ern Conference.
Present at the meeting,
along with ECU officials, were
officials from South Carolina,
William and Mary, Richmond,
Virginia Military and Southern
Mississippi.
Later last week both Wil-
liam and Mary and Virginia
Military announced they
would withdraw from the SO
ECU has already announced it
would withdraw from that
same loop next July 1 and
Richmond officially leaves the
loop this July 1.
ECU officials noted that
the meeting last week served
as an informational get to-
gether fa schools who might
be able to form some type of
athletic union.
ECU Chanoellor Leo Jen-
kins noted he was "pleased"
with the outcome and of the
decision 'o pursue the idea
further at a second meeting.
During the two hour ses-
sion each school presented
gave a brief report on their
school's athletic future.
Several scrools that were
invited to attend the meeting,
organized by Jenkins, did not
attend. Both West Virginia
and Virginia Tech were invited
but did not attend.
And, Florida State, which
had been invited did not send
a representative. But Jenkins
noted that Florida State had to
cancel coming at the last
minute and was still interested
in any loop possibilities.
Jenkins also explained that
Virginia Tech had also indi-
cated they were still interested
in the possibilities the aroup
may come up with. And, the
University of Miami has also
expressed some interest, ac-
cording to Jenkins.
Another event this week
which may play a large role on
the possibilities of a new
league was the decision by
South Carolina officials not to
seek admission to the Atlantic
Coast Conference. USC of-
fiaalsat the meeting last week
told representatives of the
schools present that their
decision on trying to reenter
the ACC would have a big
effect on South Carolina's
interest in any new league
forming.

ECU Chanoellor Leo Jen-

Jenkins indicated that he
had helped start several large
projects in the last few years at
ECU that he wanted to see
through to completion, a at
least till he retires from the
Chancellorship on June 1,
1978.
"We are right in the
middle of several large tasks
and I want to see them
through Jenkins said last
week.
"There is a lot of wak to
be done, and I oould not do it
and run fa public office
Jenkins continued.
The ECU Chancel la also
admitted that the political
repercussions on various EC
projects also aossed his mind
as he decided ntf to run fa the
state's highest office.
"You can't tell if it would
hurt some of our projects a
not. It could have been advan-
tageous but then it might have
been to the school's dis-
advantage if I ran. That is a
political risk that I did not want
to take Jenkins oontinued.
The New Jersey native
oontended though that if he
had chosen to run he would
have been a strong candidate
with a "fair chance Nobody
can really tell what will happen
in politics. Who would have
guessed Jimmy Carter would
have gotten the nominatioi a
year ago. I don't know how I
would have done if I had
entered the race. Bi'i I think I
would have made a respect-
able showing Jenkins oon-
tinued.
While not running for
office this year, Jenkins would
not dismiss the possibility of
anything in the future.
"Let's just say right now I
am just walking around, look-
ing and minding my own
business. Right now I have not
considered anything fa the
future Jenkins explained.
The ECU Chanoella did
admit that a decision on
entering the race was not
finally made until the last

me to run. I listened to them

there wasa la to be done hae
for the next two years
Jenkins added.
"I am very flattered that
people would consider me fa
governa and I think it is a nice
compliment. But fa now I see
a job to be done here and hope
to complete a la of it in the

Two schools drop Southern
By JOHN EVANS
Special to the Fountainhead
Last Thursday, two current
Southern Conference mem-
bers joined the ranks of those
schools which plan to leave the
loop in the next 12 months.
VMI and William and Mary
announced plans to leave the
conference in statements
issued Thursday. The with-
drawal would be effective June
30, 1977. Earlier this year,
ECU announced plans to leave
the 55 year old conference as
of July 1, 1977. Richmond will
cease membership in July of
this year.
The announcement by the
two schools comes in the
aftermath of last Wednesday's
meeting in Richmond in which
seven schools, including ECU,
Richmond, William and Mary
and VMI, discussed plans for
the formation of a new athletic
conference.
According to spokesmen at
both universities, the decision
to withdraw had been spurred
by the conference's recent
admittance of Division 1-A
schools Marshall, UT-
Chattanooga and Western
Carolina and the recent de-
gradation of the conference by
the decisions of ECU and
Richmonc to withdraw.
The announcements left
Southern Conference Com-
missioner Kenneth Germann
perplexed, if not surprised.
"It was not totally un-
expected said Germann of
the announcements, "but it
really puts us in a tough
situation which oould be hard
to remedy
Germann added the event-
ual loss of the four teams to
the conference vould also
effect future plans of the
conference.
"We will have to sit down
and review the situation again
in light of these announce-
ments and the recent NCAA
reclassification. It puts us in a
bind, but I don't feel it is a
hopeless situation.
"What will now have to be
done is for the remaining
institutions to unite and save
what is left of the conference
Under the present format
all the present conference
schools would remain mem-
bers, except for Richmond,
through the end of June, 1977.
At that time, if the situation
does not worsen, only the
Citadel, Furman, Davidson
and Appalachian State will
remain from the present (1975-
1976) conference arrange-
ment.
The three newest mem-
bers; Marshall, WCU and Ut-
Chattanooga will be on a
probationary status during the
1976-77 athletic year. On July
1, 1977 they will become full-
scale members.
The Southern Conference
has given birth to two major
athletic conferences, the
Southeastern and the Atlantic
Coast conferences. In the
mid-sixties, three schools;
West Virginia, Virginia Tech
and George Washington, left
the conference and thus began
the downslide in the South-
ern's organization.
Apparently, the four recent
withdrawal announcements
during the last 18 months have
made the future of the con-
ference dim and undear.

EGA plans student checking services
L By BETTY GUNTER
Staff Writer
i ne SGA is currently pro-
i losing a system in co-
peration with local merchants
i helping to prevent the
roblem of merchants refusing
3 tudent's checks.
"I have noticed that many
lerchants, not necessarily the
owntown ones, are refusing
take checks from students at
said Tim Sullivan, SGA
esident.
Truthfully, I cannot blame
em, but the situation dis-
iminates against the 95
rcent on campus who don't
bounoe checks he added.
A letter proposing a mer-
chant card system has been
sent to Dave Mosier, head of
the downtown merchant
associaiton, Sullivan com-
mented.
According to Sullivan, the
merchant card system would
involve two steps. The first
step would involve a card
being issued to the student.
The information on this card if
adopted would be determined
by the SGA and local mer-
chants.
A student who receives the
merchant card would also sign
a right to privacy waiver. The
right of privacy waiver would
allow merchants to verify
current local or home address-
es from the university concern-
ing students who are involved
with bad checks.
The downtown merchant
association will consider the
merchant card system at its
June 22 meeting, according to
Sullivan.
Also aiding the student in
cashing a check will be an
extension of banking hours at
Mendenhall Student Center.
The bank will be opened until
4:45 p.m. each weekday begin-
ning fall of 1976, Sullivan said.
Sullivan added that the
SGA is also proposing a two
hour banking period tor Satur-
day and Sunday. This system
will be separate from the ECU
student banking system, and
would aid a student in cashing
checks on the weekends.
Southern Conference and
initiated a program to enlarge
Ficklen Stadium from 20,000
to 35,000. Jenkins noted that
he would be working very hard
in both these areas ,jer the
next two years.
In addition Jenkins noted
other building projects on
campus, a new art building
that isnearing completion and
work on other projects and
programs needed to be finish-
ed.
"There is a lot to be done
here. And, if this is a last

" unlikely to veto the bill for
ee reasons. "Most import-

GAjns, chances were excellent
an override aocording to
In its deliberations on the
Basic Grant supplement, the
House Appropriations Com-
mittee recommended a figure
which would have resulted in
the reduction of students'
awards by 30 percent. In an
effort to stop this reduction,
Rep. David Obey (W-WI)
introduced the emendment to
increase spending for the
program by $315 million. He
defended the increase by
pointing out the fact that the
senior class had been added to
the eligibility of the program,
creating an additional need fa-
funds for about 300,000 more
students.
The Obey Amendment
which is included in the bill,
brings the total BOEG sup-
plemental to$791 million. This
new figure combined with the
original amount of student aid
passed last summer, brings
the total FY 1976 appropri-
ations to $1,315 million. This
figure will be enough to fully
fund the Basic Grant program
in the 1976-77 academic year.
Opposition to the Obey
Amendment was voiced by
Rep. Dan Flood (D-PA.),
chairman of the full Appropri-
ations Committee. Both warn-
ed that passage of the amend-
ment would demonstrate an
action of fiscal irresponsibility
by Congress. Rep. Mahon
argued that Congress would
not want to be "fiscally
responsible" fa the amend-
ment which he termed as
being a "budget buster
in opposition to Rep.
Mahon's views, Rep. Carney
(D-Ohio) justified the added
spending by stating, "There is
no better way to spend our
money than in educating our
kids Where are these budget
busters when we start spend-
ing fa faeign aid and air-
planes and so forth? I do not
want to bust the budget, but if
we are gang to bust the
budget, I want to bust it fa
Americans, na to kill people
all over the world
The passage of the Obey
amendment was due partly to
the strong effats of about 200
students who had participated
in the NSL's fifth Lobbying
Conference which took place
one week befae the House
vote. The passage of the
amendment was a productive
victay fa these students who
had spent two days of lobbying
on Capitol Hill and fa other
students who had participated
in direct lobbying effats by
communicating with their
Congresspersons.

Spotlighting the people and events that make the campus tick
Relax, enjoy the music at'Sunday in the Park' Jss
ByANNEHOGGE
Staff Writer
It's early Sunday evening,
and the weekend's almost
over. You've spent all of your
money and are dreading the
thought of getting back into
that weekly grind. Want to get
your mind off your troubles?
Then come by Reade Street,
where you' II see the red, white
and blue banner with "Sunday
In the Park" written across it.
What is "Sunday In the
ParkIt is a series of summer
concerts which are sponsored
and funded by the Greenville
Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment. Mr. Stewart Aronson,
who is Assistant Professor oi
Speech and Dran.a (with the
division of Continuing Edu-
cation) at ECU, is the pro-
gram's director. He claims it
to be "designed for the entire
family, and the only cultural
and social event of its type in
Greenville during the summer
which is entirely free to the
public
The idea for the series
originated three years ago
when Aronson and Boyd Lee,
head of the Greenville Parks
and Recreation Department,
were discussing a change in
the city's summer entertain-
ment program. At that time,
they were sponsoring theater
through a summer playhouse.
The suggestion of concerts of
various types of music which
would be free to the public
arose and eventually became
"Sunday In The Park Al-
though its first two years were
rather experimental, this
summer's display of public
acceptance has proven to
establish the program on a
yearly basis.
The ooncerts are perform-
ed by various local, state, and
neighboring state's musical
groups. This summer, there
are eight concerts in the
series, the first which was
June 6th. They range from
bluegrass to jazz to Marine
Band. Along with the variety
in music, there is a wide
variety of people who attend
the performances.
As Aronson puts it, they
draw a broad cross-sect ion of
the community. There are
people attending from all
walks of life The crowds
usually average around 1000,
some coming by car or bus
from near-by counties, but
there are never so many that
they all can't be comfortably
oontained on the expansive
grassy lot.
There are various reasons
given for attending the oon-
certs. One student claims she
enjoys them because "it's a
nice way to end the weekend;
just sitting back and relaxing
to good music One Green-
ville man remarked that he
and his family enjoy the
oonoerts because "we like to
keep the family together on
Sunday. So after dinner we
bring the kids here with us.
They can run around in the
fresh air while we relax and
enjoy the music Another
student simply stated "it's a
good way to pass the time and
enjoy it without having to
pay
The ooncerts are held at
7 CO every Sunday through
July 25th. A special July 4th
celebration is planned with
music provided by "The Plank
Road String Band" of Vir-
ginia, who won 3rd place at the
Union Grove Fiddlers Con-
vention. A fireworks display is
also scheduled. The location
fa all oonoerts is Reade Street
between 3rd and 4th Streets.
They usually last from one to
two hours, ending at dark,
although the bandstand is
equipped with lights. The
schedule fa the rest of the
summer is as follows: June
27th - The Moniters, July 4th -
The Plank Road String Band,
July 11th - Folk Music Con-
cert, July 18th - Marine Band a
Concert, July 25th - Theig
History of Jazz.

Jet i Barnes holds a posi-
ion that most girls only dream
ibout. Ms. Barnes is Miss
ECU 1975, and to add to her
jlory, she is the first black girl
wer selected.
It would be understandable
f Ms. Barnes chose to dwell
bn her title, but at the present
?ime black apathy at ECU is
pier main concern.
The following quotes are
Paken from a manuscript en-
nitled "Souls-A Failure or a
Success written by Jeri
Sarnes.
"Black students should
lecome involved in everything
iCU has to offer, for we are a
art. We are a part, a vital part
?f the existance of this
stablishment; we must feel
iat way and thrust aside all
jelings of apathy she said.
"This (ECU) is a white
wld and only when the
dministrators, leaders and
lose with voice and power
link twice, some because of
xicern, others just to ao-
xnmodate us, are actions
kken to accommodate the
Jack student - and sometimes
e process is very lengthy,
ustrating and even a
iilure Ms. Barnes relates.
"Thus, I feel the blacks
are must unite, we must
and up, we must do what-
'er is necessary to obtain our
)ual rights as students We
list let the man (white man)
low that we are here she
id.
How can the blacks obtain
Is unity? "This is where
jvdPULS takes its crucial stand.
Intd
S-O-U-L-S, a Society Organi-
zation of United Liberated
Students is a minority organi
zation whose main purpose is
to unite minority students in a
white dominated environment.
"Souls has been effective
in the past and its future
depends largely up?n the
amount of student involve-
ment. My personal goal as an
officer of SOULS (Ms. Barnes
is vice-president) and as a
concerned student is to
achieve more effectiveness
through this organization. I
feel that this can be done by
reaching all majority students.
They must be made aware that
SOULS exists, secondly, they
must be shown that SOULS is
effective Ms. Barnes states.
"The law of cause and
effect will then present itself.
Gathering as a mass will result
in success. As a massive group
we must become active in
SOULS and through SOULS
we must learn other facets in
which to become involved.
These are SGA and Student
Union Committees along with
other facets she said.
Ms. Barnes wants to urge
the blacks on campus to get
involved with SOULS. "Per-
sonally I feel that SOULS will
be a buccess because we have
many concerned students,
though the number of
apathetic students is greater.
Blacks should become in-
volved because we are a vital
part. We are a vital part of
ECU, we are a vital part of the
world, and we must believe in
ourselves and in one another
to be successful in a white
world she said.

ECU confronts Tarheels
in two-game series
?' S?
By RA Y BRINN
Staff Writer
East Carolina, returning
home from a 14-4 rout of
Campbell College last week-
end, hopes to continue win-
ning in a two-game series with
league-leading North Carolina
this Thursday and Friday.
The Campbell game was a
welcome relief to Pirate Coach
Monte Little, who was con-
cerned about his hitting at-
tack. "We just began hitting,
and now we have a five-day
layoff the coach reflected,
worried about the club's abil-
ity to hold the momenu . in
hitting. The barrage was led
by first baseman, Sonny
Woof en, who was 4-6 with a
home run and a triple.
Carolina, 8-1 thus far,
features a strong defensive
team anchored by third base-
man. Randy Warrick, who will
reunite with three of his
former Rocky Mount high
school and American Legion
teammates, ECU'S Wooten,
catcher Howard McCullough,
and pitcher Larry Daught-
ridge. The Tar Heels also have
excellent speed, which
"should be better than last
year according to UNC
Coach Mike Roberts. This
should concern McCullough,
since UNC stole 103 bases in
31 games last season in
winning the regular-season
title.
Terry Durham is expected
to pitch in the 7:30 p.m.
Thursday game while Carolina
with counter with either Matt
Wilson or Chris Home. The
second game will also be
played at 7:30 on Harrington
Field Friday. Following the
two contests, the Pirates travel
