She will succeed Dean Ruth White, who will retire in July after 19 years in the post. An East Carolina graduate, Miss Fulghum returned to ECU in September, 1962, as an educational counselor on the Dean of Womem’s staff. She became assistant dean of women in July, 1966. According to Dean White, Miss Fulghum is ‘very well qualified for the position’ because of her educational background and her experience. Prior to her tenure at ECU, Miss Fulghum taught for three years at Rosewood High School in Wayne County. She holds BS and MA degrees from ECU. “l accept the appointment as the greatest challenge of my life,’’ the new dean said. “My association with Miss White as her assistant has made me deeply responsibilities inherent in aware of both and opportunities this position. “It is my earnest desire to achieve such relationships with other areas of the administration, the faculty and the student body as_ will promote the best present and future interest of our university.” Miss Fulghum is a member of the National Association of Women’s Deans and Counselors, the N.C. Association of Women’s Deans and Counselors, the N.C. Personnel and Guidance Association and the N.C. State Employees Association. She was the 1966-67 president of the Greenville Business and Professional Women’s Club. Quinn named basketball Coach of the Year by Carl Tyer Coach Tom Quinn nosed out Cavidson Coach Lefty Driesell, 25-20, for Southern Conference Basketball Coach of the Year, int the balloting last Monday. The main thing that brought the honor to Quinn was the “mystery team” from East Carolina that finished second in the Conference, when they were predicted to finish sixth. “Y feel it is a real honor that the press would elect me as Coach of the Year,’ Quinn stated. ‘‘The players are responsible, along with Coach Stewart, who helped me. so much during the year.”’ Quinn called his group a “mystery team” because no one player remained a star during the year. One week it would be Tom Miller and his outside dting, or one week it would be Jim Modlin, Jim Gregory, or Richard Keir for their rebounding or Two programs of early music will be presented on March 16 and March 20. The first of these will be a concert of Medieval Sacred music given by ECU's Collegium Musicum. The program will be on Sunday, March 16, at 3:15 p.m. in the music building. Featured will be works for boys’ choir, instruments, and ensembles In addition to music wirtten by such composers as Byrd, Gibbons, Issaac, and Dearing the complete music for a French Medieval Mass, the Machuat, will be performed. The pieces will be played on copies of the original Medieval and Renaissance instruments such as recorders, krumhorns, and kordholts. Participating will be the instrumental ensemble under the directon of John Tyson, and the madrigal ensembleunder Carlton King. The second concert, sponsored by the SGA and the School of Music, will be a program by the Renaissance Quartet. The concert will be the first of the 1969 Chamber Music Festival series, and will be presented Thursday, March 20, in Wright Building at 8:15 p.m. The Renaissance Quartet is composed of Raymond Lynch, Barbara Mueser, Robert White, and Morris Newman. by George Weigand Lutenist Raymond Lynch took up the lute after attaining considerable skill on the guitar He studied guitar under Eduardo Saing de la Maya at Barcelona, Spain. Lynch is credited with several compositions; one of which, ‘‘Refractions for Orchestra,’ was premiered by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Robert White has also worked with the Pro Musica as a tenor and in the NBC-TV opera “Boris Godovnov,’’ and in the premieres of Menotti’s “Labyrinth,” and Hindemith’: “Long Christmas Dinner,” Morris Newman has worke; with many performing groups and has_ long displayed hi: Barbara Mueser is the Quartet’s viola de gambist. She is the former vice president of the Bamba Society of America, and has performed with the New York Pro Musica. defensive action. Then there was Earl Thompson's great defensive game against George Washington in the tournament, holding Bob Talent to his lowest point total. This feat brought on a conversation between Thompson and representatives of the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. “They did surprise me in some instances against some of the teams we played.” Quinn stated. “They are a very compatible group, and a good group to work with.” “We started jelling in the’ Classic. Those three straight games did us a lot of good. We finally settled on our starting pivot man, and Gregory started rebounding better.” A great deal has been said about Coach Quinn and his rebuilding job in East Carolina basketball. Advancing from sixth to second place in the conference, and for the first time making it past the first round of the conference tournament is certainly a product of Quinn’s rebuilding job. Then to top it all off, the Pirates came back from a 13 point deficit to down George Washington in the semi-finals and meet the mighty Davidson Wildcats in the final: After all this, what is left? After all he has accomplished, Quinn is now looking to next year, and the prospects of doing better. ‘‘l would be very disappointed if | felt this were as far as we could go, and if it on recorder bassoon, anc virtuosity krummhorn, shawm. Included in the repertoire o1 the ensemble is a wealth oj music from England, France Spain, Italy, and Flanders from the period known as_ the ‘'Golden Age’ of these countries. Any expsure to the music of this period will make this claim understandable. It is due to the efforts of such groups as_ the Renaissance Quartet, that the relatively forgotten and, until recently, unexplored field of early music is gaining a new and well deserved popularity. ee De were, | would leave right now.” Quinn commented. ‘We have more recruiting to do, and two spots to fill for next year’s team.” Other advancements must be made besides player spots to fill. East Carolina is the only team in the conference that does not have three basketball coaches. With the loss of Richard Keir and Earl Thompson, Quinn has 4 hard job ahead of hiri to fill their vacancies. The present freshmen team will supply candidates for the spots, along with a junior college transfer, if he were “starter material only,” Quinn added. Freshmen players Jim Fairley and Ron LePors could fill Keir’s spot, with Fairley getting the nod if he improves his strength. Mike Dunn is also being considered but he needs to mature in his playing and not be as sporadic. “I will be looking them over in the fall,”” Quinn added, ‘since we need more depth for next year’s team.” 7 ay, March 14, 1969 Te hite has also worked BC-TV opera “Boris riday, March 14, 1969 | T [ S ( a y SS The East Carolinian cove [Black students demand campus reforms and in the Of Menotti’s and Hindemith’: mas Dinner.” wman has worker performing groups ng displayed his on recorder 1, bassoon, anc n the repertoire oi e is a wealth oj England, France and Flanders from known as_ the Age’’ of these 1Y exposure to the s period will make lerstandable. the efforts of such the Renaissance at the relatively d, until recently, eld of early music 1 new and well larity. a ee a d leave right now.” nented. ‘We have ng to do, and two | for next year’s ancements must be player spots to fill. is the only team in ce that does not sketball coaches. ss of Richard Keir npson, Quinn has a ad of hiri to fill ies.

The demands were presented to University President Leo Jenkins on March 3 by a committee claiming to represent the more than one hundred black students on campus. In a letter of explanation accompanying their petition, the black students called the demands ‘‘reasonable and totally fulfillable.”’ The letter further states that although they will take “every opportunity for discussion and planning,’’ they will “undertake any and every action necessary " to obtain their reforms. Johnny Williams, Roosevelt Morton, Thomas Enoch, Audrey Daniels, Daisy Albritton, Joe Taylor, and Bill Owens formed the committee which presented Jenkins with the demands. Williams, president of SOULS, commented that the demands were far less sweeping than many students would like to have seen. In order to reserve unity, the radical students claim to have tempered i demands rather than risk alienating the more moderate. “I! consider myself moderate,” claimed Williams, “but | feel that moderates are in the minority on campus.” Bill Owens, a sophomore, agreed that the mood of the majority of black students was “militant,” and that all are determined to see these demands met. He explained further that previous attempts at reform have been made, but have achieved only small success. In the Winter Quarter of 1967-68, the black students presented a list of grievances. The SGA set up 4 Race-Relations Board that produced, according to Owens,’’no observ avle response”’ and was “of no value as a communicative instrument.” Apart from these actions, a number of individual complaints and appeals have been made to We, the Black Students of East Carolina University, therefore insist that immediate positive actions be taken upon all of the following demands: Black Instructors: Black instructors in proportion to black students on campus in the same ratio as white instructors to white students on campus. Black instructors to teach courses in all departments. Black Studies Program With Emphasis on Humanities: Black instructors to teach black courses. White instructors may teach purely African courses, but black instructors will teach these courses also. Black students on the committee to form the black studies program. More Financial Aid for Black Students: Rearrangement of the financial budget to fit black students. The present program is designed for white students whose families are better able to supplement their educational expenses. Recruitment of More Black Students: A special program set up so that black students will recruit black students under the same conditions as the present recruitment program for white students. Recruitment of More Black Athletes. Discontinuation of all Negative Racial Practices on Campus: Ban “Dixie” immediately. Removal of Confederate flags on state-owned buildings (except for private rooms). Equal application of housing rules according to printed University codes. Penalty for instructors for overt racial discrimination in classrooms. Improvements in the Maintenance Department: Staff privileges for the maintenance workers. At least three black workers in supervisory position with higher wages. Increased pay for maintenance workers. Collective bargaining board set up so that the maintenance workers may. state their grievances. Black Speakers on Campus. Legalized Participation in Civil Rights Demonstrations: Freedom from suspension even if student demonstrations result in jail sentences. Financing of Black Students to Attend Conferences Representing East Carolina University by the Student Government Association. professors and administrators. When asked about the influence on ECU black students from the black student movement and recent protests at Duke and at other universities, Owens replied,“"We have done a great deal of research into black studies programs, and other racial reforms at many campuses. We have talked with students and followed the movement closely. “But as to our demands, we are independent and very serious; this is not the result of any ‘T.V. psychosis,’ and we are not seeking confrontation for its own sake. Most of these demands have been presented to this campus before. These grievances are long standing and we are tired of waiting for action to be taken on them.” The purpose of the demands has been stated as threefold: ‘’1) to stimulate a better racial atmosphere on campus; 2) to change existing University policies which, because of rapid changes in the social and educational requirements of society, are now. unfair, obsolete, and short-sighted; and 3) to state positive improvements that must be made for the black students at East Carolina University.” ' Foremost among the demands are the hiring of black professors, the establishment of a “black studies program,’’ more financial aid for black students and improvements in the recruitment of black students to East Carolina, improvements in the Maintenance Department, and the discontinuation of all “negative racial practices” on campus. The black students seem to be united in their demands and in their determination to see them accepted. One student standing in the president's office as the demands were presented and explained, stated that Jenkins was calm and polite with the committee, and that he seemed very interested in the list of demands. No official Administration statement has been made as yet.

Other experienced hurlers who will be back are Wayne King, John Weaver, Sonny Robinson, and Bicky Woodard, Windup Big Victory by John Lowe who was the top reliefer for the ‘68 Pirates. “Two freshmen hurlers, Jim Craver and Bob Fisher have looked good so far,’’ Smith says. Craver won the New Jersey state title for Mt. Lakes, N.J. in ‘68, while Fisher is a lefthander from Alexandria, Va., where he was the top lefty with Edisel Martz’s Bombers of Northern Virginia. In the game against Duke on Saturday, Glover, Hughes, and Hastings will each take three-inning stints on the mound in preparation for next week’s heavy schedule which will feature five games in five days, starting against Ithaca College on Wednesday at 3 p.m. All the infield positions will be manned with experienced personnel, which should improve over last year’s leaky defense.

Dennis Vick will anchor down second base with Jerry Rawls in the backup role although he could play at any time. Richard Corrada, who has recovered Aqua-Bucs swim away with Virginia laurels After the goldfish had been emptied out of the pool, Saturday's competition began with the Bucs adding three more records to their laurels.

Jim Griffin set his third individual mark of the meet, this time in the 100-yard freestyle. The old mark of :49.13 set by Ed Rimm of VMI back in 1964 was tied in the prelims, but Griffin undid it all with a clocking of :49.00 for the win. John Sultan won the 200-yard backstroke with a non-record time of 2:07.71 as the Bucs again swept the first four places. James Wilder of VMI captured the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:19.9 and George Collins of W&M took the 100-yard butterfly in :54.31 before the Bucs rebounded to take the last two events in the meet.

Us language requirements for most students. | think that if ve, as students,stop to ponder the value of knowing one or two complaining about foreign foreign languages, we can understand why the University justifiably exacts this requirement of us. One never knows if in the future he may marry a German girl, live in Spain, or eat in a restaurant. Obvious situations like these might make the study of foreign French language generally useful useful to all of us, Of course there are many other more specific benefits to be der ved from foreign lanquage study,for instance, 1 have personally found my study of foreign language to be very beneficial, due to the French 1V cirriculum and due to the skill of my instructor, Miss Ellenberg; from this course | have chiefly gained a better understanding of the French as a culture and as a nation. | have also gained a better understanding of French literature’s condition humane, a deeper insight into my personal’’human — condition.” Certainly there are many other students who have likewise impossible to ybt scholarship around especially for Out-of-st students “If the profits de scholarships, | think students are having enough time paying f own education without to help put. their through college,’ she adc { Most of these com, laints are not without justificatir tn fact, Chip Callaway tor “The East Carolinian” purcha a textbook for $69: but discovered that the suc price on the dust cover $5.75 In the 1968-69 cata purpose of the Student Store 1s unequivocal S ipply given Couched terms, it states “Students may buy and sell textbooks in. the store, { saving consider bly costs.”’ Need we sav more? 5 , benefited from learniqn another lanquage. | think that if every student who has the opportunity to study a foreign language woul take Opportunity to better himself, he would not be able to later say that the course involved tedious hours wasted, but rather fruitful ot that advantage hours which he consciously and conscientiously used for his owr self-improved.
