pape Black Vote

By CHRYSTAL FRAY "

Manager

Incumbent Senator Jesse

Helms, R-N.C. defeated
Governor James Hunt in the
North Carolina Senate race

with a surprising 13 percent of .

the Black vote in the state.

Hunt, HelmsT toughest op-
ponent, participated in one of
the most expensive, and pro-
bably the muddiest senate race
in North Carolina history.

Officials predicted that
Hunt would carry the majority
of the black vote in this state.
_ Although Hunt received close
to 90 percent of the Black
vote, this still was not enough
to defeat Helms, who goes in-
to his third term as North
Carolina Senator.

Helms, known for support
for school prayer and chair-
manship of The Senate
Agricultural Committee, sup-
ported school segregation for
ten years while working as an
editorialist for WRAL Televi-
sion in Raleigh.

HelmsT viewsT towards
Blacks prompted students at

Livingstone College to lock "
arms in protest during an ad-.
the

dress he made at
predominantly. Black college
in October.

~*T would say Mr. Helms has
established himself as _ so-

- meone who is against the black

community,TT says Daniel
Webb, student vice-president
at Livingstone.

says one ECU
freshman. ~~Helms is definite-
ly not our man.T�

Nationally, Blacks sup-
ported Democratic candidates,
but Republicans won the
Presidential , the Senate, and
the Gubernatorial race in
North Carolina.

~o~The fact that our can-
didates didnTt come through
may cause many blacks not to
vote again four years from

an ECU political science ma-
jor.

This year, Martin says, as

are new education problems

~It involves millions of

(CPS) " Students locked

year, and. was passed Oct.
11 by both houses of Con-
gress. |

Student financial aid

billion of the total $17.9
billion education package,

with $3.6 billion earmarked

for Pell grants and $3

*~The impact of aid cuts

Education Professor Edgar

Student aid cuts ap-

told the National Con-

About 96 percent of our

Private schools may face
even tougher times than
public colleges, Epps says,
because their higher tuition
is forcing students into less
expensive state colleges.

o~These private colleges
usually have only small en- |
dowments,TT he explains.
o*So they depend to a large
extent on tuition and
fees.T�? While black com-
munities solidly support
traditionally black colleges,
Epps recommends schools
take decisive steps to com-
bat financial aid woes.

o~Colleges need to offer
programs that are attrac-
tive,» he stresses. ~~And
schools must be flexible in
offering them, especially at
convenient times for work-
ing students.�T

Schools also must find
new ways for students to
finance their educations,
cultivate new sources of
private funding and recruit
students aggressively, Epps |
notes.

better job of selling
themselves,TT he maintains.

tions, Epps says, ~~itTs

Roles For Blacks
Change At ECU |

By CHRYSTAL FRAY

General Manager

In 1969, a newly-formed
Organization called The Socie-
ty For United Liberal
Students, or SOULS presented
then ECU President, Leo B.
Jenkins with a list of ten
demands it felt were necessary
for Blacks to become a part of
the college community.
Among these demands were
requests for Black courses,
Black professors, and an ac-
tive recruitment for more
Black students. The largest,
and most controversial de-
mand, was for the abolish-
ment of ~~DixieTT as a fight
song.

Black Greek Panhellenic

Society. .
With the enactment .of

ECUTs Affirmative Action

~Plan in 1974, the university

has been involved in trying to
interest more Black students in
the university. Organizations
such as the ECU Ambassadors
travel to other cities to speak
on the academic and social
aspects of the college and
Greenville community. The
school also sponsors an annual
Minority Visitation Day in the
spring which allows student
representatives from minority
organizations to give visitors a
tour of the school and present
a mini-blockshow on the patio

of Mendenhall Student

A Message For
All Minorities"

Minority Students,

There are a couple of things that we feel
you should be aware of. First, as Editor "
of the Ebony Herald it must be said that .
the Ebony Herald is not a_ black
newspaper. The Ebony Herald is a
minority which attempts to represent all

- minorities on the campus of ECU as ade-

quately as possible. We are now in the
process of developing a new image for our
newspaper. See
To begin this process, we are soliciting
ideas for a new name from our readers.
The name must represent our desire to be
a minority newspaper. Honestly, the word
EBONY does imply blackness. |

Secondly, we have issued several cries
for support from the student population.
Fortunately, many students have
volunteered services, however, not the
services we need. We need writers, more
than anything, as well as contributions
such as short articles, classifieds, and
photographs. We also need help keeping
abreast of events going on around cam-
pus. Many minority organizations do not

advertise their functions on a large scale

around the campus. If you want the

_ Ebony Herald to cover your organiza-

tionTs functions, you need to let us know |
We trust that each of you will become
involved and grow with us. .

Thank you, "

Foster:PromiseForGood Record

By TONY BROWN
Sports Editor

Loraine Foster is a vital cog
in what some _ pre-season
analysts predict could be a top
20 Lady Pirate basketball
team.

FosterTs ability to not only
maintain her sophomore
status of second-leading
scorer, but to come back from
an injury, will have a great ef-
fect on the season record of
the Lady Pirates. Alternating
between playing forward and
guard, her great speed should
be a tremendous asset for the
team no matter where she
plays.

The Spartanburg, South

Carolina native was one of the.

fastest women in that state
during her high school years.
She set a state record in the

100-yard dash and won the.

state championship three

straight years in that event, as
well as the 220. She added first
place in the triple jump two

years and was a member of the

440 relay team.
Foster showed her all-
around athletic ability in

several other sports. Her soft- ~

ball team won the regionals
and her volleyball team took
the regionals twice. A high-
scoring basketball player
despite her height, she reeled
off a 28-point per game
average, which is good in any
league.

Although ~recruited by
Coach Cathy Andruzzi, Foster
has established a good rapport

with new head coach Emily |
Manwaring and feels the team "

has a lot of promise. ~~I think
weTre going to do a lot
better,TT Foster said.

Saturday by losing to Southern Missippi

so much.TT

After starting as a
freshman, then playing well in
her sophomore year, she suf-
fered an injury and was red-
shirted, so although a senior,
she has two years of athletic
eligibility left. Foster was
recruited and given-a scholar-
ship after being seen at a
basketball camp in Georgia.

camp would really improve my

fumbles, three interceptions,

106 yards in penalties and a

66-yard punt return for a

touchdown led the way for a
Golden Eagle second half
comeback.

The. kicking game, which
had been an effective offensive
force for the Pirates last year,

turned against them as-

Southern Mississippi con-
tinuously returned punts and
kick-offs for long yardage. In

addition to the punt returned.

for a touchdown, SM posted a

46 yard kick-off return which
set up their first field goal.

ECU appeared to be

unbeatable in the first half as

they roared to a 24-3 advan-
tage, but the offense sputtered
as SM covered a Pirate fumble
at the ECU 28 and cut the lead
to 24-10 with 41 seconds left in
the half.

Foster didnTt remain idle

_ after her injury kept her out of
the line-up for a year. When

the Student Athletic Board
was having " organizational
problems, she volunteered to
join and was soon elected
president.

She also played volleyball at
ECU one season, but now is
concentrating on basketball
and academics. Foster current-

average as a parks and recrea-
tion major and is looking for-

Jeff Heath added three
points to the Pirates lead early
in the second half, but SM
came back with 21 unanswered
points to take the game. A
punt returned for a
touchdown made it 27-17,
then a faked running play
, which saw an end pass for a
"54-yard gain, led to another
score to narrow the lead to
three points.

Just when it aaeeated ECU "

consuming march, a fumble at -

the SM 40 turned out to be the
final straw. After a 36-yard

Pirates End Season

the Pirates fell short.
The Pirates
frustratingly close to overcom- ©
ing a season-ending rash of
problems. Henry Williams was
unable to play due to an in-
jury, two starters were
suspended for possible rules
violations, and Jeff Heath was

- hampered by injuries, among

other problems.
With a final 2-9 mark, the

- football Pirates have to hit the

recruiting trail to fill weak
spots and replace departing
seniors. The quarterback
situation very likely will con-

~tinue to be unsettled as the

season ended with little im-
provement in the passing
game.
