Brewer meets with Board of Trustees
By JIM BARNES
News Editor ?
in 11 a summer meeting Thurs-
day, the ECU Board of Trustees
heard remarks from Chancellor
Thomas B. Brewer and voted by
acclamation to retain current
officers of the board into the
1978-79 year. Troy W. Pate Jr. of
Gddsbao and Ashley B. Futrell
of Washington will return as
chairman and vice-chairman, res-
pectively, of the board.
Moving to re-elect the current
officers, Trustee Dr. Andrew Best
indicated that in a time of
aansition, it is perhaps best to
retain effective leadership. He
then moved for a suspension of
the rules of election to allow for a
motion to carry for re-appoint-
ment byacclaimation. The motion
was seconded by Trustee Dr. J.
Earl Danieley and passed by the
board.
HOUSING SHORTAGE
In an opening statement to the
board, Brewer noted that a
housing shortage would curtail
growth of the university unless
oolutions were found. He stated
ynrollmenf figures indicated
i net increase of 300 more
nmen than last year's dass.
en -ver also mentioned that pro-
j .s on the stadium addition
indicated that the facility would
be ready for the September 2
opener against Western Carolina.
Concerning Title IX grie-
vances brought against the unive-
auy Brewer said that "we are
going to bypass the regular
hearing-procedure type thing
and by August 10 we will present
to the gnevants what we feel to be
a workable plan
NCAA INVESTIGATION
Brewer told the trustees that
no further statements concerning
alleged NCAA recruiting viola-
tions in the basketball program
would be made until an internal
investigation was complete. Say-
ing only that "we are aware of the
preliminary investigation
drewer added that ECU would
have "the most competitive athle-
tic program possible" within
NCAA regulations: The basket-
ball program and Coach Larry
Giilman are currently under invest-
igation fa alleged irregularities
in the recruitment of D.H. Conley
star Al Tyson.
In other matters before the
board, Chancel la Brewer
brought three motions befae the
body which "need immediate
attention All of the motions
were passed by the trustees.
PAVED PARKING LOTS
The first motion concerned
petitioning the Greenville City
Council to release the area
oetween 9th St. and the alley-way
south of the Mendenhall building.
A companioi request was fa a
oan of $230,000 to pave that and
other parking areas which cur-
rently are covered in dirt a
gravel.
Chancel la Brewer indicated
that repayment of the loan fa the
parking las would be returned
hrough parking fees. In answer
o a question from Tommy Joe
Payne, Brewer said that paving
expense would na have an
immediate effect on current park-
ing fees. Parking fees are now set
at $10 per year.
SNACK BAR COMPLETION
The second request fa ap-
proval was fa a loan of $125,000
to complete the snack bar located
in the student stae. This loan is
to be repaid from profits of the
bookstae, which namally are
given over to the schoiarshio
fund.
That last action befae the
board went into executive session

President Carter to visit Wilson Saturday
By JIM BAFxNES
NewsEdita
President Jimmy Carter will
be in Wilson Saturday fa a
three-hour visit in suppat of the
tobacco farmers and Democratic
senataial candidate John
Ingram.
Although the visit is a shat
aie, with oily two appearances,
much wak has already gate into
the planning of Carter's trip,
mostly effats of the White
House, which has set up an off ice
in a downtown Wilson hotel.
Wilson Police Chief Robert
Key has been working with Secret
Service agents providing security
fa the presidential motorcade.
"I think we've about got it all
planned so everything will go
smoothly Key said. "I have
been pre-ptenning the security
with federal people all week. I
will be calling in extra officers
Saturday; all off-duty men will be
called in
It would appear that traffic
and security is all the help the
White House requested of Wil-
son. City fathers apparently are
not being consulted about the
itinerary or length of the trip.
Those details are being handled
from a special off ice leased by the
White House in a Wilson hotel.
Maya H.P. Benton Jr. will be
out of town until Friday, but aides
indicated that to their knowledge,
the maya was not involved with
Carter's trip to Wilson, ins
Chamber of Commerce also stal-
ed that they had not been asked
to join in the planning of the visit.
All questions amcerning the visit
are being rsfsrrsd to the special

ttjause this research enables
a normal I y-oocuring event to take
place when the natural process is
impossible, MacKenna sees no
moral objection to it.
"I think if it is done in the
rests of providing a child to
b.nebody who is not capable of
having a child otherwise, that it is
a perfectly acceptable
procedure he said. "What it is
essentially dcx.ig is bypassing an

ETHICAL PROBLEMS
The ethical considerations,

"international exposure" of the

could develop from it. and the

the scanty information which has

SCIENTIFIC EVENTS
MacKenna hopes that the

Housekeeping asks for help in pest war
ByTERRE PIRKEY
Assistant News Editor
Bill Whichard, Direct-
or of Housekeeping at ECU urges
student and faculty to guard
against pests and rodents. "It will
take 100 percent from everyone -
housekeeping, students, vending
people, and faculty members - to
conquer the problem Whichard
stated.
On each floor in each dormi-
tory there is a form on "the most
noticed bulletin board" that
students may sign if they have a
pest problem. Each month,
Southern Pest Control answers
00! iplaints listed on those forms
aocording to person and room
number.
"But there is another prob-
lem Whichard said. "When the
sheet is pulled down, our purpose
if defeated. This problem is more
prevalent in boys' dorms almost
100 peroent over there. We
usually only get one out of ten
that have pest trouble. Tearing
down the sheets seems to occur
most during exam times. I guess
they have to take out their
frustration on-something -
Whichard added that if the
page is torn down, a student may
submit hisor her complaint to the
Housekeeping Office or the man
slot near the west-end water
oooler in Aycock Dormitory base-
ment. "We can only serve rooms
that report trouble. If we go in
your room when you aren't there,
without authorization, we break
the law. If anyone has a problem
in between Southern Pest
Control's visits, just call 757-6169
and report It Whichard stres-
sed.
Each summer the empty
dorms are fumigated or
"fogged The poison is left out
until just before student? return.
Although the fumigation leaves
an odor, the fumes are unharm-
ful, Whichard commented.
Whichard pinpointed cooking
as the basis of the pest problem.
If studentswould use containers
for fruit and vegetables - or for
any food that collects moisture
most of the problems could be
eliminated. However, dirty dishes
are also an attraction for pests
"The academic buildings are
never fully fumigated because no
oookmg goes on there. Some
roaches, a lot of ants, and some
mice are found in them, though.

HOT, HOTTER, YET hotter still as Dog Days broil Greenville
Hause to have musical
compositions published
ByTERRE PIRKEY
Assistant News Editor
Robert Hause, ECU
Music Department faculty mem-
ber, recently submitted two com-
positions for publication. Hause's
two pieces are "Sonatina an
original by Hause written fa
violin and piano and 'Tocatto In
G Major BWV 916 originally
written by Bach for the harpsi-
cord and transcribed by Hause for
a full symphony orchestra. "I
took it ("Tocatto") from a piano
copy; when I wrote it I had the
larger orchestras, such as univer-
sity orchestras, in mind
The premiere performance of
Tocatto in G Major" was at the
ECU Spring Concert on April 25.
1978, according to Hause.
Although Hause has compos-
ed and arranged pieces before, he
had never submitted any for
publication. He also stated that
he sent scores of both composit-
ions and a tape recording of
"Tocatto in G Major" toShawnee
Press in Delaware Water Gap,
Pennsylvania. Shawnee Press
publishes music of all types,
including vocal, according to
Hause.
When asked how he feels
about the publication of his
compositions, Hause replied.
"I'm very happy. I have compos-

but never submitted them for
publication. This is the first time,
and I'm very pleased.

Bright future for
campus media
ECU campus media are rapidly moving to the
forefront among univeristy media in the state. Thanks
in large part to the far-sighted policies of the Media
Board, student media, especially FOUNTAINHEAD
and WECU, will at last participate in the growth
which has characterized this university for the past
25 years.
WECU will no longer be an institution unknown
to all but a few dorm residents; once the station
begins broadcasting FM, students, faculty, and the
public will be able to enjoy its varied programming,
at least within the city limits of Greenville, and
possibly as far as Raleigh, depending on what
transmitting power the Media Board and the FCC
will allow.
The station's format of album rock, with frequent
forays into jazz, classical and other fais of music,
should be well received by the student body, yet it
will still offer something for those who prefer less
popular styles of music.
This issue of FOUNTAINHEAD is the last in our
present tabloid format. Beginning with the Aug. 28
edition, FOUNTAINHEAD will return to the
broadsheet format used several years ago.
FOUNTAINHEAD will also expand its coverage to
include njjcity and regional news. The newspap-
er's recerfjHffcscnption to the Associated Press will
providefiCfl students with accurate, professional
ooverage of university related events throughout the
state.
The rapid growth of our student media is a
natural side-effect of the continuing expansion of
both the university and Pitt County. It is now up to
the students who work in these media to meet the
challenge presented to them and turn out a product
which is as good as or better than any in the state.
We will no longer gaze upward in awe at the
media of other North Carolina universities; at last we
can meet them squarely in the eye and say, in the
words of former Chancellor Leo Jenkins, "here
stands a university Here also is a free and
responsible student operated media.

Police Chief Cannon a 'male chauvinist'
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
Polios Chief E. Glenn Cannon:
Your speculation as to why
Greenville has seen an increase of
rape this summer is very interest-
ing, and on the verge of being
nauseating. With the insinuation
that females are raped because
"they're parading back and forth
in the room with no clothes on"
not only indicates your male
chauvinism but clearly reveals
your blindness as to the real
problem.
You seem very sure of your-
self in that many women in
Greenville "prance around in the
room with nothing on A state-
ment like that leaves one to
wonder just how you know such a
thing.
And finally we come to your
solution to the problem: if women
would just take preventative
measures not to prance around in
front of their windows with no
clothes on the incidence would
surely decrease. Well I have a
solution to the problem that is as
equally asinine as yours: why
don't we just surgically remove
the penis of the "suspicious
looking person(s) lingering a-
round the neighborhood
Unfortunately, the raper
would be less humiliating to me
than the attitude you have
expressed.
Janet Blanchard
Gun
l
tlllCI
contained 'erroneous assertions'
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
Several erroneous assert-
ions were made in the July 26
editorial, "Gun Control: Yes
The Second Amendment clearly
stipulates that "the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed This is an
inalienable right, not conditioned
upon the existence of a militia.
The editorial implicitly blames
guns for homicides committed
with guns. The editor forgets one
thing people, not guns, commit
crimes. What is needed is the
administration of justice.
According to the results of a
recent survey sponsored by the
American Law Enforcement Of-
ficers Association, two thirds of
the nation's law men believe that
mandatory national firearms reg-
istration would have no signifi-
cant effect on crime.
The proposed change in reg-
ulations by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms is a way of
bypassing Congress (the elected
representatives of the people) to
institute national firearms regis-
tration by bureaucratic decree.
The start-up, paperwork, and
annual operational oostsof such a
data bank would far exceed $4.2
million, the the figure quoted in
the editorial.
Despite the prohibitive finan-
cial costs, I believe the greatest
danger inherent in a gun-registra-
tion progress of this magnitude is
the potential for the information
to be used to confiscate guns. It is
better fa a citizen to have a gun
and not need it than to not have a
gun and need it.
The Second Amendment guar-
antees citizens the means to
protect themselves from attempts
on their lives and property by
criminals.
Senator James McClure ob-
serves: "The regulations propos-
ed by BATF are not merely
unauthorized by existing law,
they are demonstrably in direct
contradiction to the legislative
intent of Congress. This blatant
attempt to usurp congressional
authority demonstrates onoe
again that certain government
officials consider themselves to
be above the law. Nothino in the
Constitution that I ar aware of
gives gun control advocates the
right to pass law by decree

Grease
ITie soundtrack has WJ
'humor and sweetness'
2 August 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 5
By JEFF ROLLINS
Assistant Trends Editor
Watching the play or the
movie Grease one is bound to
miss much of the music, at least
many of the less obvious things
about it, because his attention is
occupied with the action going on
stage or on the screen.
Listening to the soundtrack of
Grease, though, in the privacy
. comfort of one's own grotto,
one becomes aware of many
nuancesof the music, of little bits
of humor, sweetness and musical
pastiche that went by him at the
movie or the play.
The music to Grease is funny.
It is a light parody of tie Hit
Parade fifties-style rock an1 roll.
The people who put the musical
together did not attempt to stay
within the strict limits of leather -
lacket. flat-top goldies though.
The title song for instance is
very much a seventies post-disco
number and the fact that Frankie
Avalon sings it does absolutely
nothing to change its modern
character The song "Grease"
more than adequately introduces
the muacal.
The soundtrack is full of
places where the music does not
even allude to fifties-style AM
radio. For instance on "Greased
Lightening" (for those of you
who've seen the movie this is the
song that they sing about their
souped-up jalopy) there are about
fifty measures of a distinctly
post-hard-rock guitar solo.
The guitar solo is clearly a
musical, stylistic anachronism
but that fact does not diminish
our enjoyment of the song. In
fact, it calls attention to the fact
that the musical is a spoof, not an
imitation, of the fifties and the
juxtaposed styles appeal to us as
a humorous, unexpected contrast.
Another instance of the new
meeting the old is evident on the
Sha-na-na song, "Born to Hand
Jive There is a section of the
song that is surprisingly disco-
like.
The arrangemental tongue-in-
cheek is much of Sha-na-na's
appeal.
The Fifties are camp now
(rather, were camp about seven
years ago and are now just
reaching the high-school bourge-
oisie in the form of the movie) and
the musical makes the most of it.
One of the most interesting
things about the soundtrack is
that spoofs of fifties songs
co-exist with real hits from that
decade. Frankie Avalon sings a
dehciously ludicrous spoof-song
"Beauty-School Drop-Out" and
Sha-na-na?k an equally ludicrous
version of real Fifties song
"Blue Moon.
This mixture of the spoof
along with the real thing spoofed
is one of the most delightful
aspects of the album.
Olivia Newton-John oomesoff
better on the soundtrack than she
does in the movie. It's difficult to
imagine a character like Danny
(John Travolta) actually doing
anything with a character like
Sandy (Olivia NewtonJohn) ex-
cept worshipping her from afar
because one feels he would just
crush her to death.
Travolta is too hot and
Newton-John is too cool. A
relatonship between them would

JOHN TRAVOLTA AND Olivia Newton-John in a scene from Grease "lack of oomph

exactly how deep it goes.
Nevertheless, mellow marsh-

pleasant, if tepid, passable voioe.
Her performance of "Hopelessly
Devoted to You is the best thing
she does and that isn't too good.
The same song done by Bette
Midler would be much better.
John Travolta is either singing
above or below his range on the
whole album. One senses that he
has a good voice somewhere if he
could only find it. There is
something undignified, un-star-
like in his falsetto and something
too ersatz-Elvis Presley in his
basso oon brio.

and comes across as strongly on
the soundtrack as it does in the
movie. Stockard Channing's
Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" is
a short song and possibly the
wittiest in lyrics and performance
on the whole album.
All the Sha-na-na songs are
expectable Sha-na-na. If you like
them you'll like them.
The stars and the cast have an
exuberance though that makes
the album a really fun thing. The
short-comings, i.e. Travolta's
voioe and Newton-Oohn's lack of
oomph, all conveniently may be
interpreted as intentional gauch-
erie on their part, and one really
doesn't mind interpreting them
that way.
If you're really a Travolta
hard-core case, or have a Newton-
John sweet-tooth this double
album would probably be worth
the money. Otherwise, you'd do
better to wait for their next
pot-boiler. Album provided cour-

Carlton 's guitar is 'superb'
By CHRIS FARREN
Staff Writer
To those of you who take interest in reading the
credits on the back of album oovers. this name
should be immediately recognizable
To those of you who don read the backs of your
albums, go check a few out, and I guarantee you will
find this name more than onoe.
For years Larry Carlton has been one of the
brightest most sought after studio guitarists around.
Beginning in the early seventies with the
Crusaders, he made quite a name fa himself with
his impeccable feel for his instrument, and since
that time has played with everyone from Al Jarreau
to Steely Dan.
Carlton's style ia ver?"tile enough for just
about all kinds of music.
Unfortunately first rate studio musicians don't
always make first rate solo albums. While Carlton's
expertise on the guitar can not be debated, his
songwriting and production can.
The production and mixing of this album are
nothing more than adequate, and it seems suprising
to me that a musician who has always been
surrounded with quality performances as a studio
musician would allow his solo effort to be so poorly
recorded
Carlton's guitar playing is superb, but is mixed
much to loud to the point that one has to really
conoentrate on the rhythm track and mentally remix
the sounds themselves .
Howevei ah these things aside the album
certainly does have some redeeming factors, and I
am probably being a little hard on it because I
expected so much.
Carlton s guitar playing shows influences from a
wide variety of people, (Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck,
B B King; but he has managed to combine these
blues mfluenoes with his own jazz flavorings to
produoe a style that is refreshing and truly unique.
His playing is extremely fluid and lively.
The best cut in the album is the danceable
Room 335' whose trendy beat and intense guitar
lines make you tingle by the final chorus, but at
times sounds a little too much like Steely Dan's Peg
without vocals.
Other standouts on the album are the blues
ballad "Only Yesterday" and the Latin flavored
"Rio Samba
Six of the eight cuts on the album are
instrumentals, and the other two should have been.
Carlton is an excellent guitarist but a lousy singer
The music is very contemporary, a jazz base with
crossovers from many other idioms.
If you are into the guitar at all, this album comes
highly recommended, and despite the disappointing
jobs of recording and mixing, Carlton's guitar is
outstanding and nearly makes up for these
inconsistencies

The Driver 'drowns suspense in a
fashionable flood of brutality; blood'
By STEVE BACHNER
Trends Editor
Suspense is a question, and
the question now is: "What is
happening to Suspense films in
the Seventies?" God help us if
movies like The Driver provide
the answer.
This answer is not a happy
one. Had the producers attempt-
ed to parody other suspense films

such as Bullitt or The French
Connection (films that feature car
chase sequences which disting-
uish them) then the ride might be
palatable. But The Driver is
devoid of any joking or high-spir-
ited, facetiously elicited sex.
There wasatime in the Sixties
when the glorious era of the
private eye thrillers was succeed-
ed by some very fine spy
suspense stories. It was a logical
progression: the spy of the
screen was very much the same
man as the private detective had
been. He was a loner; he was a
bit of a rebel against established
powers but worked for them,
chippily, because he believed in
right and justice more deeply
than his flip wisw '? might
have indicated.

suspense films nor any of the

Seventies' "new waves, angries,
or undergrounds
Bruce Dern plays an angry cop
thirsty for the arrest of the elusive
"best wheel-man in the busi-
ness" (robberies, et. al.). One
would have thought he might be a
little more selective in choosing
his scripts in the wake of his more
successful films - this summer's
sleeper Coming Home, notably.
Ryan O'Neal plays "the dri-
ver" with the absence of verve
that the script obviously calls for.
I can't fault the cast.
"The driver" regards the
world with a cynical eye, jaundic-
ed by experience, and this is just
as well because he is not too
surprised when he is double-
-crossed by everybody.
As a psychological thriller,
The Driver falls flat on its faoe
because it is not redolent of the
fears and weaknesses, the sense
of imbalance and insecurity,
which should constantly seem to
erode the structure of our urban
civilization.
Like Dirty Harry, Bruce Dern
has withdrawn, at least ethically,
from the organized police so as to
free himself fa a no-holds-barred
shot at O'Neal. Unclear motiva-
tion on his part as well as on the
parts of the other characters,
including sexy psuedo-love-inter-
est Isabel Adjani, take us on an
obstacle course that leads no-
where.
The Driver doesn't offer even
the simplest foundation of
compelling us to wonder what is
coming next. This is the essence
of story telling. The producers of
The Driver should have known
this instinctively. They are too
quick to jump on the suspense
bandwagon and they render
suspense as their only ingredient.
The camerawork is as crude as
the voioeless acting; the charact-
erizations simplified to the point
of caricature.
If a suspense story is what
they are trying to sell, they have
yet to learn how to tell it.
This package includes only its
fair share of violenoe, some of
which results in the film's only
genuine surprise. The twist
comes midwaythrough The Driver
when a two-bit hold-up artist,
promised his freedom by Dern if
he will play along with a set-up
that should land O'Neal behind
bars for the first time, crosses
the driver and then gets oocky.
We are led to believe, early on,
Ryan O'Neal, Isabel Adjani
and Bruce Dern
V
that O'Neal's code of ethics
doesn't permit himtocarry a gun.
We are never given any reason to
believe otherwise - so when he
pulls a .45 out of his jacket and
lays his double-crosser to rest, it
is certainly an effective moment.
This sequence hardly pulls the
film up from the depths of its own
listless style, so I don't regret
having spoiled the surprise for
any formerly unwary potential
viewer.
is a 90 minute vehicle for two 15
minute chase sequences and
forces us to squirm during 60
minutes of filler.
It seems that suspense in the
classic mold is being drowned in
the fashionable flood of brutality,
blood and slick car crashes.
A movie is a creature of
fashion; and fashions, by defini-
tion, fade and are supplanted. As

The Driver promises some
imaginative stunt driving and it
delivers in this department. The
film opens with a 15 minute chase
sequence that involves at least
eight patrol cars on the prowl in
hot pursuit of O'Neal. The film
concludes with a 15 minute chase
sequence that involves at least 50
innocent drivers, one bad guy and
no patrol cars they would only
be getting in the way.
The Driver, hence, in essence,
screen subsides, there will be
more films which take the best of
the new liberty and ally it to the
most durable of the old
disciplines.

This is the final in a series of
jting reports on ECU'S 1978
football opponents. The Pirates
home opener will be September 2,
Against Western Carolina of the
Southern Conference.
Marshall, one of the Southern
Conference's newest members,

I year. The Thundering Hero won
It seems that with such a
strong offensive team returning

could and should happen but 'he
defense which allowed a whop-
ping 34.4 points per game last
year must be improved upon to
oome up a winner.
Ellwood feels that the two

no league games and won only
two the entire year.
Things look to be different this
year however as head coach
Frank Ellwood welcomes back 34
lettermen. The vast majority of
those lettermen were starters last
year. In fact the Marshall offense
returns all eleven of its starters.
The best of those eleven is
Marshall's first 1000 yard rusher,
C.W. Geiger is his name and if
Marshall's 1978 opponents are
smart they will take Geiger
seriously.
At the important quarterback
positior senior and three year
starter Bud Nelson, 6'1 - 206, will
be at the controls of Marshall's
Power-I attack.
Tim Campbell, Mike Bailey
and Bob Campbell all were
lettermen at the running back
positions and all return this time.
Kevin Jackson and Ray Crisp
are the receivers.
At the center position Greg
Smith returns to anchor a tough
front wall.
At the guards Sylvester
Drobney and Dan Wells are the
big movers with Matt Games and
Howie Harris playing the tackle
position
sive troops are the linebacking
and the secondary positions.
At the linebacker positions six
different lettermen will fight it
out. They are Hobart Phillips,
Mel Adderton, Dennis Bellamy,
Mike Sprouse and Luke Spmcer.
In the secondary Sam Kinker
will provide experience.
The line returns George Elliott
5'11 - 225, at middle Dave Kirby
6'Q- 230 and Brian Hite6'1 - 246
at the tackles.
In summing up Marshall's
chances for the 1978 season it
appears that a lot of what
happens to the Thundering Herd
will no doubt depend on how
much better the defense is than
last year. The offense has the
people to get the iob done but,
unfortunately all the offense in
the world isn't going to help
Marshall if that defense doesn't
get more stingy with the yardage.
The Marshall schedule looks
rather tough also with games
against UT-Chattanooga, East
Carolina, Kent State, and Miami
Ohio bmg faced
When all is said and done it
appears that the Herd will
probably move up the conference
ladder but still end up a game or
two short of a winning season
unless the defense comes on
strong.

PRESSBOX
By Chris Holloman
Ficklen almost finished
Work on ECU'S Ficklen Stadium is nearly complete as of this week.
The trim work and work on the pressbox is expected to be completed in
plenty of time fa the home opener against Western Carolina.
The new scoreboard for Ficklen Stad.um is expected to be n
sometime in the next two weeks according to Athletic Director"
Cam. The scoreboard will be fully computerized and have a rnessage
board The scoreboard itself will be the second largest that th.s
company has made. It is 40 feet long and 18 feet high.
The ever changing Southern Conference will again be a problem for
Virginia Military Institute and finding conference opponents. VMi
must oiay five SC games to be eligible for the title but because of the
Xnnin, of the conference VM. only plays three Southern
Conterence opponents. Thus games against William and Mary and
East Carolina will count as Southern Conference games. Last year VMI
had to count William and Mary. Richmond and lost by one point to
ECU. The Keydets are defending SC co-champions.
Th.sooming season ECU sent.re 11 game schedule will be telecast
this fall by WITN-TV (Channel 7) in Washington.
The show win be a one-hour edited review of Pirate football for he
week including the important action and scoring plays from the
previous day's game.
The format is similar to the national telecasts of eDame
football The games will be aired at 11 30 a.m. and again at 11 30 p.m
