Roaches, ants invade formtones
By JEANNIE WILUAMS
Staff Writer
A combined effort by dorm
students, housekeeping, and
maintenance could help to elim-
inate the problem of ants and
cockroaches in ECU dormitories.
"We can't do it all alone
said Bill Whichard, director of
Housekeeping at ECU.
"It takes everybody working
together Whichard said. "If
students would police up and
keep their rooms clean, it would
enable us to do a better job
"We can't completely get rid
of the roaches, but we can control
it said Whichard.
According to Whichard, there
are several things that attract the
roaches.
"Dirty dishes, crumbs and
?cod scraps on the floor, and
empty drink containers sitting
around will attract them
Whichard said.
Trash cans which are dirty or
have food scraps in them can also
attract roaches and ants said
Whichard. "There are trash cans
in the bathrooms of each dorm
that are supposed to be used by
the dorm students for food
trash
"Even cheap books, when
damp, can attract roaches be-
cause of the glue in the binding
commented Whichard.
"Ants are also a problem
Whichard said. "Anything sweet
will attract them. Keeping foods,
especially sugar, in airtight con-
tainers would be helpful
Dan K. Wcoten, director of
Men's Housing, said that the pest
control problem became worse
when cooking was permitted in
the dormitories around 1970.
"A lot of the complaints are
about roaches said Wcoten.
Wcoten said that maintenance
sprays about every two weeks.
"Students should sign the
pest control sheet with their name
and room number when they want
their room to be sprayed. The
sheet is usually posted on a
bulletin board in every dam
said Wooten.
Wcoten said that spraying is
not overly effective when the
M
students are in the dorms.
"For a thaough job we need
to do every roan in every dam.
We can't do evay aack a crevice
while the student is living in the
roan said Wcoten.
"The best results are in the
summer when we can get into
every corner while the students
are gone Wcoten added.
Raid or Black Flag could
be just as effective.

By ROBERT SWAIM
Advertising Manager
SGA President Neil Sessoms
yesterday submitted the name of
Kevin McCourt to the legislature
for approval as attaney general.
The legislature did not act on
McCourts nomination.
Kevin McCourt plans to re-
sign from the attaney general
position when he is approved,
according to a source within the
legislature.
The source said that Mc-
Court's reason fa resigning is to
open the nomination to Ricky
Price, one of McCourt's political
colleagues.
SGA Vice President Reed
Warren said that such a move (by
McCourt) would not surprise him.
It has been rumored in the
legislature that McCourt will seek
executive office this spring.
During new business Legisla-
tor Randy Ingram questioned the
seaet nature of the chancel la
selection process.
Ingram introduced a resolu-
tion requesting SGA President
Neil Sessoms to repat to the
legislature on the chancella
selection activities.
Ingram alleged that secret
meetings have been held to
discuss the chancella selection
and said that the legislature
should be infamed.

Students visit Costa Rica
By STUART MORGAN
Assistant News Edita
Fran July 26 to Oct. 26, 17
students from ECU attended the
Universidad Nacional at Heredia,
Costa Rica.
Guillermo Saenz, a teacher
from the Universidad Nacional,
originally planned and later coa-
dinated the trip with Dr. and Mrs.
Robert E. Cramer. The exchange
program was originated in 1973
by Saenz and Cramer.
Dr. Cramer, famer chairman
of the geography department
here fa 13 years, organized the
group of 17 students and arrang-
ed fa their accanrnodatiais in
Heredia.
Later, both he and his wife
supervised the activities of the
group thae.
Each of the students rented
rooms in the homes of various
citizens of Haedia, a city north of
San Jose, fa 85 dollars a month.
That cost included meals and
laundry service.
Participants in the groups
visited several places in Costa
Rica, including Cartago, the
ralamanca Range, Quepos, San
Jose, dam sites, banana planta-
tions, tobacco factories, and even
a few volcanoes.
The students who went were;
Dan Dolan, Darlene Strange,
Chuck Hill, Julie Sazama, Henry
Peddle, Daothy Easley, Brad
Lingg, Linda Krause, Ann
Massengill, Buddy Caddell, Kelly
Fugate, Gus Wilson, Martha
Fisher, Troy Mcore, Cathy Deal,
Mark Daily, and Diana Reese.
Costa Rica is a relatively small
country of 19,575 square miles,
located in Central America,
nathwest of Panama.
With a population of
1,875,000, Costa Rica has mana-
ged to maintain most of its
natural beauty.
"It's virtually unspoiled; the
natural beauty of Costa Rica still
exists Martha Fisher said.
Asa result, the mrtto of Costa
Rica is "The.Complete Country
While attending trv univa-
sity, the students were able to
take courses such as: tropical
biology, history, geography, con-
versational Spanish, and socio-
logy.

Mason, Welch twin
concert bill fails
By DOUG WHITE
News Edita
The respaise to the Student
Union concert survey was "over-
whelmingly in fava" of having a
double bill concert featuring Dave
Mason and Bob Welch afta
spring aeak, according to
Charles Sune, chairperson of the
Popular Entertainment commit-
tee.
"The concert, howeva will not
come about due to the fad that
two aha schools have already
booked the two available dates
Sune said.
The artists were available
either March 13 a 14, but these
dates have been contracted by
West Virginia Univasity, in
Morgantown, and the Univasity
of Kentucky in Lexington.
The survey registered 439 in
fava of the concert and 20
against the conoen.
"I hope students can apprec-
iate the difficulties we encour.ta
in trying to attract groups to ECU.
" w ith the demands by groups
fa more money, difficult contract
demands, and with a relatively
small coliseum in which to
present concerts, its hard to
attract big name groups
Sune apologized fa getting
students' hopes ucandpromised
equally good conoerts in the
future.
The committee is currently
finalizing negotiations with
agents fa Styx and has booked
Arlo Guthrie fa a concert in

POLS professor offers alternate idea for overpass
By JULIE EVERETTE
Assistant News Editor
An alternate plan tQ solve the
problem of students crossing the
10th St. intersection would oost a
fraction of the overpass idea,
according to Herb Carlton, assoc-
iate professor of Political Science.
"I don't think students would
use the overpass Carlton said.
"I also don't think the over-
pass plan would solve the bike
problem
Carlton said he had witnessed
the rescue squad come to accid-
ents at the 10st St. intersection
five times.
"Every accident except one
involved i bicycle Carlton said.
Aooording to Carlton , the
overpass would benefit the hand-
icapped and blind students.
According to Carlton, most
accidentson 10th St. involved left
turns.
LEGISLATURE
Continued from p. 1
chancellor selection.
"Contrary to most legislators'
beliefs, it is not up to Neil to
initiate discussions or meetings
concerning chancellor selection
said Payne. He is bound to
secrecy and he can t just come
and tell the legislature everything
that is going on.
It is a matter that some
legislators don't seem to under-
stand said Payne.
In other business Craig Hales,
SGA treasurer, reported that
$20,676.30 is left to appropriate.
A bill to sponsor retreats was
favorably passed out of the
Appropriations Committee, ac-
cording to David Cartwnght.
chairperson of appropriations.
Cartwnght said that he was in
favor of the bill since SGA now
has enough money to fund it.

The story on artists Jane
Abramsand Samia Halaby in the

tained errors, saying the exhibi-
tion of their works is sponsored by
the SGA. The exhibition is
sponsored by the Art department
with funds from the Visual Arts

Samia Halaby appeared Jan-
uary 19, not January 24, as

Jane Abramswill present her
lecture January 24, at 3 p.m in
the Leo Jenkins Fine Arts Audi-
torium.
Both artists are associate
professors at their respective
schools, not assistant professors,
as reported.
Abrams was asked to do a
one-woman show at the Martha
Jackson Gallery, not allowed.
Also, her work has been descri-
bed as "hi,r,KXOus and erotic
not neurot
Fountainhead apologizes fa
any inconveniences.
"My idea is to eliminate all
left turns at that intersection
Carlton said.
"The left turn is a typical
problem. No left turns at that
corner would help a lot
"I think the median on 10th
St. should be continued past
Maple St said Carlton.
According to Carlton, the
present entrance to the campus
off 10th St. should be closed up
and a new entrance constructed at
the far end of the parking lot, by
the TKE house.
"There would be a small
expense to the state to continue
the cement median said
Carlton, "but it would oost a
fraction of what an overpass
would cost
We also need a fence put up to
stop jaywalkers to protept-them

Snack bar needs $
The snack bar renovation in the old student union
has been halted due to a lack of funds, according to
Curtis May, supply store assistant manager. May
said in Thursday's FOUNTAINHEAD that more
money will probably be needed in order to complete
the renovation.
Last summer, the student supply store was
renovated with a $400,000 loan, and renovation on
the snack bar began with the remainder of that loan.
The loan was paid back with funds normally
earmarked fa academic scholarships.
May did not say where the money which will
probably be needed will come from, but it should be
no surprise if some academic program here feels a
financial cutback in order to pay for the completion of
the new snack bar.
When an institution of higher learning discon-
tinues academic scholarships to pay for the
renovation of its student bookstore, a certain priority
is being misplaced. Many students could not attend
college if they were not awarded these scholarships.
Concern for the lack of academic scholarships here at
ECU is missing, especially from the administration.
According to May, the bookstore area had to be
enlarged in order to house the large quantities of
books which needed to be on display, rather than in
the storage room-especially at the beginning of each
semester. This reason is understandable.
However, when the money is taken from such a
needed area, perhaps another method of financing
should have been considered before making such a
drastic move.
Unfortunately, the damage has been done.
According to Robert M. Boudreaux, financial aid
officer, the academic scholarships will not be
reinstated. He said it is hoped that the National Merit
scholarships will be upgraded, and more students
will apply fa this scholarship.
Fa the snack bar to be finished soon would be
nice, but fa any area on campus dealing specifically
with academic funds to experience any financial
cutback would be disheartening to those who are
enrolled here fa academic purposes. Academics is
supposed to be the main concern of a university.
Money financing the snack bar renovation should
in no way affect any funds set aside fa academic
purposes. When a university ceases to show concern
fa the academic program, then the purpose a
university is supposed to project is a lost cause.
Mideast talks hah
When Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made his
dramatic visit to Jerusalem in November, it seemed
to many people in the Middle East and to the rest of
the wald that peace was lurking just around the
caner.
However, President Sadat recalled the Egyptian
delegation from the political negotiations in Jerusalem
last week, and Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister
Menahem Begin called off the trip of a delegation to
attend military talks in Cairo.
The two issues causing the friction between the
two nations are Israeli withdrawal from occupied
lands and the Palestinian issue.
The peace talks are tempaarily off, but U.S.
Seaetary of State Cyrus R. Vanoe said when he
returned to Washington Sunday that he expects the
talks between the two nations to resume in
approximately one week.
Hopefully, the two nations will resume their
peace talks soon and oontinue to try to resolve the
problems which have plagued the Middle East fa so
Jong.

Reader lashes out at abortion editorial
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
Re: Federal funding of
Abortions, 1-17-78.
Mae than anything, I was
saddened by your over-simplified
approach to the analysis of
a woman's right to self-deter-
mination.
Abortion should be n- option
for all women(and their men).
Pregnancy can not be a
sword of Damocles held by the
wealthy over the head (or should I
say the uterus) of poor women.
Abortion is medically safe.
Because of a very low incid-
ence of complications, (in legal
abortions, which are, of course,
what we wish to see encouraged)
hospital records show the pro-
cedure is statistically safer than
pregnancy-to-term andor birth.
Now to your editorial.
Of each tax dollar received by
the government the largest part is
returned to the taxpayer in the
form of services, ideally to benefit
the quality and availablility of
resources to all citizens.
However, the next largest
part of the tax dollar goes to
"defense spending.
Through the Wood-ooJored
glasses of the military we are
euphemistically assured our tax
money is promoting national
security. But it really means we
are promoting the development
and deployment of war "toys"
with their ever-present spectre of
destruction of human life on vast
and impersonal scales.
Quote: "Should taxpayers'
money be used to benafit a select
few?" forced to pay for
something they do not believe
in?"
Question: What about people
who currently pay the taxes to
develop the roads you so glori-
fied, yet don't believe in cars;
who may not even OWN a car?
Who do the roadways benefit?
Hmmm? Taxes for education you
say ever talked to a rural
farmer about mileage taxes?
Hmmm? Do you think you oould
go up to Alexander County and
get the farmers to side with the
influx of young families to vote fa
the desperately needed inaease
in themileagetax? Hmmm? Ever
wonder why public education in
N.C. isn't wath two oents?
Hmmm??
If public education on sex and
oontraoeption is such a good idea
why hasn't it been vigaousiy
prompted and FUNDED fa the
last 200 years?
Why isn't it suocessful today?
Sure it gets a lot of lip servioe but
we have no unified approach to

life in contemporary society.
Now - anybody for a long-
range cost analysis? I do not
pretend to be versed in such
economics, but one FACT stands
out:
"It costs$40,000-plus to raise
a child from birth to 18 and this
figure is increasing yearly
Changing Times magazine)
In a poor family, where is all
this money going to come from?
Of course, there is always the
idea that poor families should be
kept poor by forcing them to have
children. The middle-class must
protect its position after all?
Well, the answer is that
money is going to come from you
and I, the taxpayer, and will be
used to support prison facilities,
rehabilitation centers, welfare,
medical expensesetc.
It will be A LOT of money.
There are literally a million
alternatives which the child of an
unplanned birth might command
from a family who can give
nothing. Thus, if that child can
not be responsible for himher
self, all society becomes respon-
sible for that child's existence
once heshe is born.
Clearly, the federally-funded
abortion OPTION is in the best
interest of everyone.
Re: The quoted poll claiming a
'national" consensus against
federally-funded abortions. You
know as well as I, that any poll
can be manipulated to confirm
any view.
If you, or anyone, believes
there is currently a national"
consensus against abortion, I
humbly suggest you have duck

use them(duck feathers) for some

ToFOUNTAINHEAD:
I went to the basketball
game last Thursday, between
East Carolina and the Athletes in
Action, expecting to see low
attendance from the student
body, faculty, and backers of the
Pi rates. I was proven wrong with
an estimated attendance of 3600
persons.
Athletes in Action are affiliat-
ed with Campus Crusade for
Christ, who have a local branch
here on- campus. The team
competes with major teams at
colleges all across the country.
Besides being an athletic team,
Athletes in Action share a com-
mon bond in knowing Jesus
Christ as their personal Lord and
Savior. During halftime at all the
athletic events, Athletes in Action
share with the audience what
Jesus Christ means in their lives
and how Jesus Christ can become
the center of a person's life to
those who are interested in the
audience.
Last Thursday night 34 per-
sons in the viewing audience
accepted Jesus Christ as their
personal Savior. God is working
miracles here at East Carolina.

reoord such things as vegetation,
altitude, trees, etc. The students
enjoyed that course most of all.
Classes began on July 26 with
welcoming speeches from the
Ambassador of the U.S. to Costa
Rica, the Padre, and the pres-
ident of the Universidad
Naaonal
The classes during the week-
days were very relaxed and
interaction between students and
teachers was very informal.
The classes were supplement-
ed by weekend excursions, part of
the field study course.
On weekends the students
separated into several different
groups and visited various places
in Costa Rica, such as Antiqua
and Tical. Some groups journeyed
outside of Costa Rica, and visitea
Guatemala and El Salvador,
nations northwest of Costa Rica.
Every other weekend the
group partiapated in a major field
trip.
The students roughed it"
during most of the weekend
excursions in order to save
money.
� We really got the feel of the
country, and we could go back
there now and live with little
trouble. We became part of the
country by experiencing nature
aid Troy Moore.
One of the most memorable
trips that the students made was
to Limon ana Cahu
The students arrived in Limon
on Oct. 12, the day that the
citizens there held carnivals cele-
brating "The Day of the Race
Better known to us as " Col umbus
Day
Afterwards, the students visit-
ed Cahuita, a national park
having a small town of shanty
houses, and located next to the
Caribbean Sea.
Cahuita is noted, for its
beautiful palm trees and beaches.
"The people there were very
friendly, and they helped us fish
fa, and later roast lobsters over
fires on the beach. Most of the
people there oould speak
English said Fisher.
Another weekend trip was
taken to Santa Rosa, also a
national park. While the1 the
students participated in a 20-
mile-hike from a ranger station to
Nancite beach, a turtle nesting
area.
An interesting incident occur-
red while hiking to the beach-the
students became lost and were
faced to bivouac in the swamps.
During the night, the students
listened to the wierd growls of the
Howler Monkeys and suffered
from mosquito bites.
They eventually reached the
beach, but too late to see the
arnbada, a fleet of turtles that
crawl from the sea to lay eggs and
return to the sea again.
The arnbada, consisting of
thousands of turtles, was missed,

but the students were still able to
see a few straggling turtles on the
mile-long beach.
While in Cahuita and Santa
Rosa, four students took advan-
tage of the beaches and went
surfing. Others went snakeling,
often bringing back fish, lobsters,
and oolaful oaal.
Several girls made jewelry
from the shells they gathered.
Another place visited was the
beach of Manuel Antonio, outside
Quepos. There, the students
again enjoyed the beautiful beach
and saw many cotaful parakeets,
un-caged, in their natural envir-
oment.
After a three and one-half
month stay, the group seperated
and went their own way, many of
them stopping in Guatemala

Pitt County represents best health care in survey
24 January 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Pay 7
N.C. health care attitude survey underway
By GEORGETTE H ED RICK
ECU Medical Writer
Are you afraid of seeing a
doctor? How do you select a
physician? How many miles do
you live from a hospital?
These are some of he quest-
ions being asked residents in
Pitt, Chowan and Hyde counties
as part of an eastern North
Carolina health care attitude
survey.
Dr. Marty Zusman, an East
Carolina University sociology pro-
fessor and director of the project,
saysa40-minute interview will be
conducted in the homes of 800 to
1,000 residents who will be asked
to discuss their perceptions of
health care in the area.
Walter Shepard, assistant to
the dean of the ECU School of
Medicine, and Chris Mansfield,
associate director of the Eastern
Carolina Health Systems Agency
(HSA), are collaborating with
Zusman on the project. The study
will provide the medical school
and HSA with information useful
in planning adequate health care
in the eastern part of the state.

survey when he found that

The registration deadline fa
the Florida and Bahamas trips,
scheduled during spring break,
has been extendea to Jan. 31,
according to Bill Martin, Student
Union Travel Committee chair-
person.
"We felt the extension would
allow more time for people to get
settled in this semester before
deciding to join one of the trips
Martin said.
The Florida trip lasts eight
days, from March 3-11, at a cost
of $105.
This price covers the cost of
transportation and lodging while
in Florida. A $25 deposit is
needed by Jan. 31 in order to go
on this trip.
"We will be travelling by
buses, leaving Mendenhall
March 3 and returning March 11.
"The buses will stop in St.

Department of Health, Education
an Welfare Zusman says.
Respondents will be asked if
they have a family docta, where
they receive their medical care,
and how they make the choice of
physician a treatment center.
Other questions are designed to
determine how comfatable res-
idents feel with their physician
and other health $are profes-
sionals he says.
Respondents will also be
questioned about their use of
medications and their family
medical histay.
Infamatiai gained fron the
study, which should be complete
in May, 1978, will help medical
school and HSA planning officials
determine the geographical loca-
tions of needed health care
services and the characteristics
of individuals with the greatest
health care needs. The survey will
also show the extent to which
residents are aware of existing
medical services and whether
they are satisfied with available
facilities.

Dr. Evaett Pittman and Dr.
Charles Stevens, Dean and Assis-
tant Dean of the ECU School of
Music, will perfam a duo piano
recital on Wednesday, January
25th at 815 p.m. in A.J. Fletcher
Recital Hall.
The program consists of the
Sonata fa Two Pianos and
Percussion by Befa Bartok and
the Conoerto in d mina by
Frands Poulenc.
The concert is free and open to
the public.
The pianists will be assisted
on the Bartok opus by, percus-
sionists Patrick Flaherty and Jack
Stamp. Mr. Stamp and Mr.
Flaherty are graduate students in
the ECU School of Music and
study with faculty percussionist,
Mr. Harold Jones.
The Bartok Sonata is consi-
dered a landmark in writing fa
the piano as a percussive instru-
ment, and in the use of new
percussion techniques and colas.
In addition to piano, percussion
instruments utilized fa the per-
famance are the following: three
chromatic timpani, xylophone,
snare drum, side drum, suspen-
ded cymbals, bass drum, tri-
angle, and tam-tam.
Bartok employs the unique
qualities of the percussion instru-
ments in a dialogue with the
piano, displaying ooitempaary
techniques in resonance and pitch
production.
In oontrast, the Poulenc Con-
oerto ended a period of revival in
dassical-romantic styles. The
conoerto is an example of the
melodic and harmonic genius of
Poulenc, typically aeative and
spontaneous.
DR. CHARLES STEVENS
The Poulenc selection was
first perfamed in 1932 and the
Bartok in-1938. Each composer
took part in the premier perfa-
rnanceof his oomposition.
The show with its ova 100
rare phaographs documenting
the lives of people settling the
frontia in the late 19th centuries
was scheduled by "lllumina the
Student Union Art Exhibition
Committee.
The exhibit was espedally
developed fa the recent Bicen-
tennial by the Smithsonian In-
stitute Traveling Exhibitioi
Savice. Its popularity has grown
steadily ever sinoe.
The exhibition was researched
by Eugene Ostroff, curata of
phaography at the National
Museum of Histay and Tech-
nology.
Ostroff stresses that photo-
graphy of that day was not fa the
occasional hobbyist. Taking and
processing photographs was a
difficult and expensive proposi-
tion. Dedication in addition to
professional knowledge and skill
required of the photographa in
the late 19th oentury and few
amateurs possesed all three in
suffident quantities to produce
quality work.
In ail most evay case, the
photographers of these glimpses
into anotha wald are unknown.
The valuable infamatioi about
westan life in these remarkable

Mario Gaetano wins Young Artist award
By KENT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
People who don't like classical
music might have some trouble
sitting through some of the
pieces performed at the Second
Annual ECU Young Artists Com-
petition Finals last Saturday in
the Mendenhall Theatre.
Sponsored by Mendenhall
Student Center and the School of
Music Student Forum, each of the
six finalists performed a 15
minute selection either solo or
accompanied by piano. A grand
prize of $200 was awarded to the
overall winner, and three prizes
of $50 were awarded to the best in
the catagories of Instrumental,
Vocal, and Piano.
Mike Price performed a jazzy
tune on his alto saxophone to
open the competition. Price was
accompanied by George Stone
playing piano. It seems that
saxophone perfamances are al-
ways full of rapid fire runs and
weak on transition. This tends to
make some members of the
audience think about a long lost
second cousin or yesterday's
classes. Of course this may be
exactly what the composer in-
tends with his work, and if that is
so this piece was a big hit. It was
difficult to hear the subtitles of
the sax that probably should have
been brought out more in a
competition of this sort. Saxo-
phones are very versatile instru-
ments which can produce fab-
ulous jazz runs and overtones that
can really capture an audience.
Although Price failed to fully
explore his instrument he did
manage to show that he is strong
on talent and was deserving, if
not of his prize fa instrumental
performance, then graduation.
Piano music can hold the
interest of even the most un-
initiated classical music listener if
well perfamed. And although
Alisa Wetherington's perfam-
ance seemed to start with a
warm-up exercise to loosen her
fingers it was lively enough so
that you could stop squirming in
your chair to listen. If a concert
pianist it would be hard to fagive
slippery fingers during a perfam-
ance, but in Wetherington it can
be overlooked because of the
superb taste she displayed in
combining movements by Bach

and Choplin. Although she won
no prizes, she succeeded in
building ner i5 minute portion of
the competition into an emotion
packed mini-concert and high-
light of the afternoon.
To some people voice music as
it was displayed in this competi-
tion is something to be avoided,
like bad breath. But someone had
to win the $50 fa a vocal
perfamance, so Belinda Bryant
did her best. To be fair all of us
can admit she had excelInt vocal
control and sang fluent Italian.
Some singers seem to specialize
in paining the ear, but even the
most un-initiated listener could
have sat through Bryants per-
famance, but not enjoyed it
much.
Intermission and Victaia
Lannotta brought us more Bach
and some Copeland perfamed on
flute accompanied by Patricia
Mann on the grand piano. Like
piano, flute has a good chance of
sounding alright and holding the
interest of the audience if it is
played well. Lannotta did a fine
job hitting only a few shrill a
unsure notes and ended her

that oould only be oomplimented
if you had had the patience to stay
and hear it.
To see Sheila Marshburn
hunched over a piano, hands just
a lur, absabed in her absabing
Liszt piece, one oould make an
accurate guess from the first
notes that she would win a prize.
By the end of the her 15 minutes
she had built her piece to a
feverish pitch, and even the
slumbering members of the aud-
ience awoke to see her. There
were few thoughts of summer
vacations a class assignments
during her perfamance. She
MARIO QAETANO WINNER of ttte Second Annual ECU Young Artists Competition
might have even been glad to
have seen her perfamance.
Last, and also grand prize
winner, was Mario Gaetano and
his perfamance with two sticks in
each hand hitting a marimba. It
wasn't at all like a rock concert
marimba when a percussionist
does everything but tap dance on
his instrument. Gaetano's per-
famance was strong, showed his
talent well, but like Price he failed
to really show off his instrument
and its capabilities. During his
perfamance the image of that
lost second cousin creeps into
your mind. A marimba is such a
marvelous instrument, and
Gaetano has such an ability fa
perfaming with it, it is a shame
he couldn't have picked a better
piece.
So who were the people who
judged the betters from the
lessers? Professas of oourse.
From UNC Greensboro, a piano
professa, Dr. Geage Kiapes.
From Chapel Hill, Professa
Marajean Marvin who teaches
voioe. And aoonducta from UNC
Chapel Hill, David Serrins.
It was good to see Student
Center and a Student Faum
waking together and to see
deserving students receive a
reward fa their effats. Let's
hope there is a Third Annual
Artists Competition next year,
and maybe more of us will enjoy
that one.

Saturday Night Fever: 'colorf ul
By DAVID WHITSON
Staff Writer
John Travolta explodes onto
the screen in this colorful,
exciting and spirited portrayal of
the disco scene. Against the
backdrop of the current disco
craze, "Saturday Night Fever"
emerges as a serious examination
of the dreams and desparations of
the disco set.
Travolta delivers a dynamic,
characterization of Tony Manero,
leader of a Brooklyn gang, the
Faces, who works in a paint store
in order to afford his weekly binge
on the dance floor.
As he performs his ritualistic
preparation fa a night in the
disco, (performing a Bruoe Lee
workout beneath the watchful
visage of Al Pacino, visions of
Farrah Fawcett-Majors'5 pearlies
flashing in his head) Travolta's
Tony is transformed into a
modern day Everyman, the proto-
typical male youth of the 70' s.
The Faces, as their name
implies, are the masters of flash
and strut; they represent a society
in which appearance constitutes
reality, facade supersedes sub-
stance, and emotional interper-
sonal relations are considered
embarrassingly vulgar.
Within this peer group a
modern youth learns the facts of
life: how to dress, arrange one's
hair, and pass the stash properly

in public.
While his cronies oollapse into
despair and cynicism, Tony came
to the realization of Weltan-
schauung which surpasses the
chauvinistically bigoted territor-
ialism of the borough, which
causes Manhattanites to be
regarded as foreigners.
Amidst the oonfusion of his
life, the Brooklyn Bridge emerges
as an ever-present symbol of the
hope of escape; for Tony, the
bridge is life's only constant.
It is upon the bridge that the
Faces try themselves"with drunk-
en frenzies of high-strung acroba-
tics; while reciting the bridge's
vital statistics, (Tony'scatechism)
he wins the girl he loves; and it is
upon this bridge that the punk
waif Bobby performs his climatic
and suicidal dance with death in
order to escape from an innoble
existence.
The musical selections are a
great weakness of the movie, as
Robert Stigwood not only influ-
enced the selection of artists to be
represented, (many of the acts
presented are properties of the

"a dynamic characterization"
in his latest film.
Robert Stigwood Organization) he
also manages to have the dia-
logue sprinkled with names from
his retinue of stars whose music
cannot be worked into the sound-
track.
The musical selections which
are represented are catered to fit
the tastes of the white disco
audienoe, as typified by the bland
soundtrack work by the Bee Gees.
(One notable exoeption is the
Latino dance scene during the
dance contest, which contains
some of the finest music and
dancing to have been produced
within the disco idiom.)
Finally, it is Travolta's capti-
vating dancing which steals the
show. The movie is well worth
seeing fa Travolta's performance
alone; the raw dramatic power of
his dancing with Karen Lynn
Gorney is energizing, to say the
least.
Memorable performances are
contributed by Berry Miller as
Bobby and Donna Pesoow, who in
her pursuit of Tony, delivers a
performance which nearly over-
shadows that of the heroine.

The mentality of the Inquisition lives on'
By DAVID WHITSON
Staff Writer
Yes, readers, the mentality of
the Inquisition lives on, embodied
in Hal Lindsey. AsLindsey quotes
Demosthenes in his book, The
Late Great Planet Earth: "We
believe whatever we want to
believe What Lindsey wants to
believe isthat atheism, astrology,
and witchcraft are responsible fa
the collective ills of society,
ranging from air and water
pollution to killer bees.
The film's first twenty
minutes are credible, as it begins,
innocuously enough, with an
examination of the predictions of
the Hebrew prophets which have
already come to pass.
Jeremiah's prophecy of the
destruction of Judah by Nebu-
chadnezzar of Babylon, as well as
Isaiah's prediction that King
Cyrus would allow the temple of
Jerusalem to be rebuilt, are cited
in order to establish the validity
of the Hebraic tradition of pro-
phetic writings.
All well and good, but at this
point the film loses all credibility.
The action now shifts to the
island of Patmos, where St. John
the Divine is peacfully eking out
his final days of exile. Beneath an
artificial moon, the avatar of
Ronnie Van Zant, who is now a
sweaty angel, arrives to enlighten
the aged apostle.
The ensuing action is a study
of chaos.
The Whore of Babylon spews
enough blood to make Gene
Simmons of Kiss envious, while
the wizened John is tormented by
the gyrations of odd men in
Playtex gloves and pantyhose. A
melange of recycled footage
follows, in which the Romans,
Seljuk Turks, and people who' ve
joined Today's Army' take on a
giant iguana.
One would think (or wish) that
Lindsey would stop there. How-
ever, he oontinues, undaunted.
Lindsey is merely cashing in
on the oollective guilt pangs of the
post-World War II hedonist gen-
erations. While the screen flashes
with imagesof chubby Americans
ravenously devouring tacos, a
biologist casually informs us that
19,000 people will starve to death
while we watch this nonsense.

topic of food poisoning, and we

of bra-1ess breasts, (which relieve
the monotony) and some footage

The best adjective fa this
movie is cheap.
The footage is lousy, much of
it is out of focus. The film
requires the combined skills of
one cameraperson, one make-up
specialtst, and oie special effects
expert.
Even the arguments are
cheap: all scientists, economists,
and Nobel Prize winners soberly
faetell our impending disaster
while a few cheerful winos, party
girls, and greasers in leisure suits
blithely babble that they plan to

The oily splurges affaded by
the film's budget allow Orson

National Philharmonic Orchestra
to perfam the soundtrac. (Which
sounds as if it came from a
memaable Naiional Geographic
special.) Even these extravagan-
cies canna salvage this scattered
attempt at serious cinemato-

PRESSBOX
NCAA Ruling
At the NCAA meeting in Atlanta the proposal fa a so called "Super
Conference" of football powers was approved by the delegates to teh
convention.
This idea of a splitting of the NCAA's Division I was sought by the
85 a so "Super football powers What these schools wanted was
control over their own destinies in the spat of football and that is partly
what they got.
As the system was befae last week, all of the divisions of the
NCAA I, II and III voted as a group. In many cases the 85
"superpowers" were outvoted by the smaller NCAA schools.
It was a voting superiaity of this type that led to a limit of 8
assistant coaches and set limits fa the number of scholarship players a
school could have at a time a sign in aie year.
These rules amoig others were something that the superpowers
did not want a need. The rules were intended to save money and bring
about mae balance from top to bottom in the NCAA's Division I. In
other wads Alabama might have enough money to sign 50 prospects
but since they are limited to 30 scholarships other schools get a chance
of signing some high quality players that namally they would not get.
So Furman and Ball State can sign players capable of playing fa a
mae praninent football power because of these limits on reauits.
What the powers pushed fa and got was a splitting of the NCAA's
Division I into two separate groupings, Division IA and IA-A.
The idea was that in ader to be in the top division, IA, you must
meet certain requirements. This way only true "powerschools" would
be in the division. They would become a separate voting group and
be able to decide their own future.
In ader to be in Division IA a school must have several things. The
first is fa a school to field eight varsity spats including football.
The second aiteria is fa these schools to schedule at least 60
percent of their games with other IA members.
The third rule is that either a school must average 17,000 paid
attendance per home football game over a four-year period a they
must have a 30,000 seat (permanent seats) stadium, and have averaged
17,000 in aie of the last four years a they must field twelve varsity
spats recognized by the NCAA.
The "twelve spat rule" made the 85 member super conference
become a 135 member division which was almost as large as the old
Division I.
The "twelve spat rule" spaisaed by Colgate, William and Mary
and the Ivy League with the exception of Columbia is expected to last
only a year a so. After that it is believed that unless a school meets the
other requirements then it will become a Division IA school
What this adds up to is the so called "super conference" will not be
as exclusive as the maja powerswanted it tobethisyear. Eventually it
will become mae exclusive as stricter rules are set fa membership
and smaller schools fall to the wayside.
Wak is underway in the expansion of East Carolina University's
Ficklen Stadium. Heavy construction aews began ground wak last
month.
Parke Construction Company of Charlotte was granted the
plumbing contract and Watson Electrical Company of Wilson was
granted the electrical bid. No bids were received fa the mechanical
area of the expansion, but accoding to the University officials that type
of wok can probably be done with local help from the University.
The seating capacity will be doubled with 35,000 total seats to be
available upon completiwi of the project. Also, a three-level press area,
a chancella' s box, an elevata to service the press and ohancella' s box
areas, and additional rest rooms to handle up to 39,000 people will be
added to the stadium.
Initially, only the first press box level will be complete, with the
second level being left an open hall to be oompleted at a later date. The
third level camera deck will also be completed at this time.
The oontracts call fa completion of the expansion by August 31,
1978. Should the stadium not be completed in time fa the first hone
game of next season, slated fa Sept. 23, the oontractas will be
required to pay the University $100,000.
" Everyone wasccnoerned when the first bids were returned said
University Vice-Chanoalla fa Business Affairs, Clifton G. Moae.
"After those bids, it appeared we might not be able to start on the
project this year. But after negotiations with the oontractas, we were
able to change some things and cut the costs back.

Cain explains Division 1 status
Director of Athletics at East
Carolina University, Bill Cain,
spoke last week at the Greenville
Sports Club on the future of
Pirate athletics and the NCAA
meeting in Atlanta
"We voted for divisional splits
within the NCAA last week said
Cain East Carolina has commit-
ted itself for sometime now to
being a Division I school and we
fully plan to continue that in the
future
Various items covering all
areas of the Pirate athletic
program were discussed. His
comments on these items were:
1978 football schedule: "I
expect to release the schedule
later this week. We've held off to
ind out about the Division I
Status of various schools. We are
now waiting to see how our
anticipated opponents fa next
year plan to go, Division I-A a
Division l-AA. If any are not
planning on Division l-A status,
we will drop them. We will have
-five home games and six road
james, with a possible home
opener on Sept. 2. N.C. State and
North Carolina will be played
back-lo-back as our second and
third games, both on the road.
There is a chance of scheduling
N.C. State later in our season in
the future
1979 & 1980 schedules in
football: "Our schedule will be
much more attractive in 1979,
name-wise. We have our sche-
dule for 1979 completed, but it's
just a matter of when we want to
release it. In 1980, yes, we have
Florida State on the schedule.
Division l-A and l-AA
effects: "For a couple of years
things will remain about as is.
Each school has 60 days to
indicate which division it plans to
be in and three years to comply. I
feel this will divide a lot of
"conferences, which is one of the
reasons we got out of the
Southern Conference last year.
We thought this was ooming. TV
will play a great deal in the
formation of the new divisions. In
twp to three years, I can see
85-90 schools with a strong
Division l-A football program
Formation of a new confer-
ence with ECU as member: "I
think the formation of a new
conference is the only thing I
foresee to satisfy our needs in the
future. If we are not in a
conference in two to three years,
then we had better look at our
position and situation again
On Pat Dye and UNC job:
Coach Dye and I had some very
serious talks about many aspects
of our program. I said a year ago
that I wanted to have the highest
paid football coach in the state.
I'm still working for that. I
noticed that Bobby Bowden got a
$4,000 raise at Florida State. I
hope we can do better than that.
It's a credit to the ECU program
and the school that Pat's name
always comes up when jobs are
open. If he's not being sought,
then he wouldn't be doing the job
we want
Freshman red shirtule: "I'm
for anything that will'help our
program and we think this will.
But I also believe that it will be
reversed next year by the NCAA.
I don't believe that everyone fully
understood what they voted for
and what can happen with this
rule
Recruiting agreements with
ACC and Southeastern Confer-
ences: "We do not have any
written agreements with either
league. There are some verbal
agreements with individual
schools. We have asked for it with
the ACC, but they have not
responded as yet, except for a
couple of 3chcols
Stadium expansion report:
"The stadium expansion project
appears to be on schedule. If it's
not, you already know there's a
$100,000 penalty clause. As for
seating, the north side will
continue to be used for students.
There was some discussion about
moving them to one-half the
stadium on one side or to the
corners. But the students pay an
athletic fee, have helped with our
new lights and are helping with
the stadium expansion. So they
will not be moved from the center
of the north side. The new corners
will be used fa general admission
seating. The south side will
remain fa the Pirate Club
members with expansiai of that
seating as necessary. The current
Chancel la's Box will be used fa
handicapped seating in the fu-
ture
New scoreboards for

Revils freshman wrestling terror
WRESTLING COACH BILL Hill
By SAM ROGERS
Staff Writer
Not since the days of All-
America Bill Hill has a wrestler at
East Carolina made such an
impact on the program during his
very first season.
Soloman Revils, otherwise re-
cognized as "Butch" to his
teammates, has produced results
nothing less than spectacular for
the Pirates this season and
appears destined to follow the
footsteps of his head ooach Bill
Hill.
Revils, another Norview High
School product from Norfolk, Va
has already won tournament
championships this season in the
prestigious Wilkes Open and the
Monarch Open, took second place
in the Carolina Invitational and
ownsan impressive 12-4-1 overall
record.
His credentials have been
very impressive so far this
season especially for someone
who simply wanted a chance to
wrestle during his first year at
East Carolina.
"When I came down here all I
wanted to do was to get a chance
to wrestle a lot explained the
167 pounder I was kinda
surprised that I got to such a good
start, but I hate to lose and I don't
see any need to go out there and
give a poor effort. I gcout there to
wrestle and win
Revils very first oollegiate
tournament was the Monarch
Open in Norfolk, where all his
family, friends and his old head
ooach were on the .sidelines

hat doesn't need
our contribution.
Last year, Americans threw away
150 million tons of materials�enough
to fill garbage trucks lined three
abreast from New York to California.
Our throwaways cost us more than
billion each year. This collection and
disposal of trash is now the second
largest item in most city budgets,
surpassed only by public schools.
The problem is more than litter
along the highway. It is the waste of
our nation's resources�resouces
which are becoming more scarce
and expensive.
We need to conserve materials nov
more than ever. And you can help�I
by not making a contribution. For

watching. But, Butch calmly
responded to the pressure as he
won four matches, all over top
seeded opponents, to win the title
and was named the Outstanding
Wrestler in the event.
He knocked off fourth seeded
Ben Hill of Tennessee in the
second round with a 5-4 overtime
decision, and advanoed to the
semifinals with another 5-4 dec-
ision over fifth seeded Norman
Walker of North Carolina. After
winning by default over top
seeded Rick Rodriguez of N.C.
State, he took the title with a
dramatic 1-0 overtime decision
against North Carolina's Carl
Hoffman.
"I was really up fa that
tournament said Revils.
"Everybody was right there
pulling for me, my ooach, my
parents and all my friends. I
guess I was lucky in some ways,
but I was sure glad to do so well in
my first tournament
After the Monarch Open,
Revils place second in the
Carolina Invitational, losing to
teammate Jay Dever in the
championship round. Revils drop-
ped three straight matches in a
disastrous quad meet against
nationally ranked Oregon State,
Lehigh. and East Stroudsburg
State in Bethlehem, Pa. However,
he came back to win the 177
poundchampionshipin the Wilkes
Open and was voted the Out-
standing Freshman in the tour-
nament.
But success has been nothing
newto Butch. During histwo year
career at Norview High under
Kenneth Whitley, he posted a
65-5-2 record and went 27-0 his
senior season winning the dis-
trict, regional, and state champ-
ionships. Pirate head coach Bill
Hill and heavyweight D.T. Joyner
also prepped under Whitle at
Norview.
Revils attributes most of his
success thus far this season to
wrestling in a weight class lower
than he wrestled in high school.
"I wrestled at 185 during high
school and I was always up
against guys that were a lot
bigger than I was said Revils.
"Now since I've been wrestling
down at 177 and 167 it seems like
the guys are smaller and it sure
gives me a lot more confidence
Despite his somewhat slow
start in dual matches this season,
Revils recently won a big match
over his old high school teammate
Mike Benzel 4-3 against North
Carolina although the Pirates lost
25-15.
"It was great to beat him
because it was such a close
match said Revils, "but I was
disappointed we lost the match to
them. It's a pretty tense rivalry
between us and North Carolina. I
just can't wait fa them to wrestle
us down here because we'll really
be psyched. It should be a real
dogfight
And just like most oollegiate
wrestlers Revils goal is to qualify
fa the NCAA Champiaishipsand
have a. chance to reap All-
America honas.

The East Carolina track team
reopened its indoor season with a
select team of relay men and a
few of the talented sprinters at
theprestigasC.Y.O. Invitational
at College Park, MD. on Friday
the 13th. The traditional bad-
luck which goes along with
Friday 13 along with the magni-
tude of the meet proved to be to
much for the young competitors.
The C.Y.O. meet features many
Olympians along with the best
track and field men in the world.
A good example of the level of
performance came in the feature
mile run. Dick Berkley, an
American Olympian beat Filbert
Bayi of Africa, the defending
world record holder in the 1500
meter run, to set a new world
indoor world record for the mile.
Although the ECU squad gave
it the old Pirate try they just could
not come up with a winning
effort. On his way to a good
60-yard high hurdle race and

a good learning experience as
more and more this will be the
caliber of competitors the track-
men will be facing.
Not wasting anytime, the ECU
trackmen joined the remainder of
the team in Richmond fa the
Cheserfield Invitational. Here,
the strong East Carolina squad
was able to come right back and
show its strength and speed. For
many of the young Pirates this
was their first time competing on
the small 180 yd. board track.
Sophomore Otis Melvin, who
just missed All-Amaican honors
last year during outdoor season,
reeled off three 6.1's in the
60-yard dash to take 2nd place in
the University diviaon. Larry
Austin tied the meet record of 6.0
in the trials of the feature 60,
setting him up for a good shot at
Olympian Steve Riddic in the
final. The all important start
caught the senior flash from
Jacksonville on the jump, and he
was out. Marvin Rankins then
came back from his fall the night
before and blasted a 7.2 fa the 60
yd. high hurdles. Thejunia fran
Berti finished 3rd in the finals
while his time qualified him fa
the natiaials. Coach Carson
summed up the weekends effats
saying, Everyate ran real good.
Everyone gave 100 per cent.
Meanwhile, back in N.C
several of the ECU trackmen were
competing in the N.C. A.A.U.
Marathoi Champioiships. The
26 mile, 385 yard course ran from
Bethel to Oak City and back. Ed
Herefad of the N.C.T.C. won the
event in 2 hours 34 minutes. Jim
Dill, a junia at ECU finished 2nd
and dose behind the winner with
a time of 235.29 in his first try at
the distance. John White, com-
peting in his 4th 26-miler in 7
weeks finished a strong 4th with

Mackless Pirates lose to UNC-A
By STEVE BYERS
Assistant Spats Edita
The Pirates with Oliver Mack
are progressing, but the Bucs
without him are at best, strug-
gling. The Mack-less Pirates were
slapped by the undersized,
undertaJented, and undermuscled
UNC-Asheville Bulldogs 101-92
Saturday night in Minges.
The Pirates irratic perfa-
mance and loss was particularly
dissapointing when considering
the Bucs held a 15 point lead with
11:16 gone in the first half.
The outcome overshadowed
an outstanding perfamance by
Herb Krusen who scaed a season
high 31 pointsgoing12of 22 from
the floa and hitting 7 of 7 from
the free throw line. Greg Canel-
ius and Jim Ramsey add 18 points
each as Canelius grabbed 15
rebounds.
Krusen has been Mr. Coisis-
tancy fa the Pirates soaring
consistantly ova 15 points a
game.
The Pirates started the game
with a 9-0 lead and built it to a
15-7 lead befae the bewilder-
ment of the Bulldogs changed
sides of the oourt.
The Bucs missed Mack on the
scaing and the leadership end of
�the stick. Shot selection and poor
ball handling marked the come-
back of the Bulldogs after the
Pirates went .up again by seven in
the second half.
Mack did not play because of
disciplinary purposes which were
of a pasonaLnature. Coach Larry
Gillman explained "no one is too
big fa the rules" he continued
"A winning team must have
discipline and a winning atti-
tude
As of Decemba 10, Oliver

Pirates are 3-10. Hopefully the
scaing influence will spread as
Mack returns to the line-up fa

The win fa UNC-Asheville
marked their first victay eva
ova a Division I team and was
particularly surprising afta the
Pirates played vay strong in four
out of their last five games;
winning three and dropping a 12
point decision to William & Mary

On Thursday night howeva
