Che film Pirate defenders Thursday, Sept. 25, 1969, Fountainhead, enjoy challenge You might think that East Carolina’s defense shudders at the thought of playing Louisiana Tech and Terry Bradshaw Saturday night in their home opener but that’s not the case at all. “Actually our defensive team is looking forward to the challenge,” says Bob Gantt, defensive chief of the Pirates. “It's like getting a shot at the heavyweight championship if af boxer. !t’s the kind of you are a bo opportunity all good athletes look for and | feel they will do a good job.” The Pirate defenders, many of them veterans from last year, played a good game last week against East Tennessee, but the competition will be stiffer this time. “I've been quiet pleased with the progress of the defensive interior,” said Coach Henry Vansant after Wednesday's practice. ‘‘The front five played well against East Tennessee and on five occasions got to their passer.” Drawing praise from Vansant two seniors, George and Jamie Louis and were Wheeler juniors Walter Adams and Jim (264 By-Pass) Telephone » ‘hE MUSHGooM WAM. 1 Pm aeaget? sites Join The inn Crowd Pizza inn 421 Greenville Blvd. DINE INN or TAKE OUT Call Ahead For Faster Service 756-9991 Gudger. Capt. Roger Bost, who plays end on the five-man front, twice got to the East Tennessee passer. “When people think of pass defense they usually think of it only in terms of the secondary,” says Gantt, ‘‘but a good pass defense has to involve the entire defensive team. “The responsibility just doesn’t belong to the backs. Everybody is in on it. Although Rradcshow Bradshaw is a great passer, he isn't the only important factor in their passing game. He has three outstanding receivers and the challenge of the halfbacks is to cover the receivers. “But the linemen are looking forward to seeing if they can get to Bradshaw. That's certainly a prime consideration on pass defense.” A study of last year’s game films shows that the defense actually played a good game for a half. “lf we are able to get to the passer with a good rush it will make receiver coverage,’ Gantt explained of the hopes that the front line can harass Bradshaw consistently. “‘We realize they will be better at giving protection to oppes their passer than East Tennessee was because that is their speciality and they work on it constantly. But we were pleased with our pass defense at East Tennessee. We feel like with a good constant effort we can get to this guy some.” The Pirate coach said one thing he has been steadily telling the defenders that they must expect to have Bradshaw connect and the defense in turn must do something to offset these completions. “We have to set him back with some losses to counteract his strikes,’” Gantt said. ‘It will be absolutely necessary to intercept some. Actually, the only way to stop a pass offense is on takeovers and throwing him for a loss. One thing for certain, you can’t count on him missing three straight on you. You have to hope to intercept him or throw him for a loss.”’ Since this is Louisiana Tech's opening game, the Pirates haven't had a chance to scout them and Gantt figures they may have added a few wrinkles. “They might have come up with a good running game since last year to go with Bradshaw's passing,” Bantt says. ‘‘We have to be ready for that, too.” Bold new design features large, degree to the hand-lapped dk and letters.

Terry Bradshaw, a senior who figures to the the No. 1 pro draft choice in the winter, completed 176 passes of 339 attempts for 2.890 yards and 22 touchdowns. Besides earning for himself the 1969 national championships in passing and GEORGE WHEELER ...one of Big Four... be Louisiana . total offense, he helped his team to the same honors. To complement the golden-armed Bradshaw, the Bulldogs will bring along Tommy Spinks, a high school ‘teammate of the Tech passer who owns the Gulf States Conference all-time record for receptions. Bradshaw paced the Bulldogs to a 9-2 record last season, including a 35-7 win over East Caroiina and victory in the Grantland Rice Bowl, 33-13 over favored Akron. “Bradshaw is an outstanding passer,’” says Coach Clarence Stasavich of the Pirates. ‘‘He’s probably the best in the country, from what we hear.” Although the Bulldogs aren’t noted for their running game, they have some fine backs to keep the defense honest.

He worked for the Democratic National Committee and was elected chairman of a Greenville precinct at the age of 20. {t's about time somebody admitted that all is not well with the Democratic Party in North Carolina.

The organization serves the pleasure state of the governor (who has, for some 70 years, been a Democrat).

As an elitist would, the super-patriot seeks to perpetuate the status quo for his own benefit. He receives a larger amount of the profits as a result of economic exploitation, better jobs and opportunities from a racist system, and more profits for his country from _ its sometimes imperialistic world-wide maneuvers. Although the super-patriot is Satisfied from his own viewpoint, he must realize that many of the systems from which his profits and satisfaction flow contradict the written philosophy of this country. The super-patriot has become SO satisfied as the system works to fill his own materialistic needs that he blocks all attempts of constructive criticism A feeling of social superiority arises from the fact that the recommend change in the party organization. “Some of us have outlived our usefulness,” Johnson declared.

However, as the super-patriot will agree, this does not mean that the United States has reached a utopian state. History tells us that despite those who were satisfied during the American Revolution, there were those who strove to make this country a better place in which to live. Super-patriot refuses to believe that there are now those who love their country enough to try to change it for the better. A film festival at East Carolina University? With films done by ECU students? It will never happen. At least, a year ago it would never have happened. But now it is not only possible, but in the planning stages. The Fine Arts Committee is making it possible, and if the money can be obtained, there will be a film festival during spring quarter this year. The Fine Arts Committee is a group of students with fine arts majors who got together last year to try to improve the cultural level of East Carolina. Of course the students have the popular films, the concerts, the tecture series and the artists series. but the student is not really involved in any of these events. The committee represents students from the drama, music, and art departments. The art students make up the bulk of the membership. Because of this, most of the programs are oriented toward art. Besides, the music and drama departments To him, anyone striving for a change cannot love his country, but must be either an anarchist, a communist, or just plain mixed-up. It must be funny to the demonstrators of the Civil Rights era, the Freedom Riders, the Grant Park ‘delegation’ to the Democratic National Convention, free speech advocates, etc. when they hear “Stand up for America.” What more could one do, when he loves a country enough it right on Main to die for Street? Thursday, Sept. 25, 1969, Fountainhead, Page 11 By WAYNE EADS both have their own programs for public consumption The FAC envisions a very ambitious program for the coming year. Whether the entire program actually materializes will depend on the amount of money that the committee can get, both from the SGA, who recognizes them as a campus group, and from the members. Another factor involved is the number of members the committee has. Many freshmen members attended the first meeting, but many of the older members of the art department have not shown an interest in the committee. And_ their non-involvement is justified, for the committee last year did nothing that they could see and get interested in. But this year it is different. A chalk-in between Rawl and Wright will serve next week to draw attention to the group, and may help in the membership drive. The program for this year includes an art show and sell, an art contest with money prizes, a festival to revive old films, and finally, their most laudatory idea, a fiim festival. The film festival is to be the event that should get the most attention from the students. Like the art show, it will be open to anyone, including persons not in the fine arts departments. For those who make and enter a film, there will be the possibility of winning a substantial first or second prize. The showing of the entries will be open to the public also, and should draw attention from the entire state. Students will travel from all over the state to see the films, just as they did for the Louisberg Film Festival last week and again this week The Fine Arts bring to East Carolina some of the culture that is conspicuously lacking, and has been for many years. If this institution expects to become a university in fact as well as in name, it must pay Committee promises to more attention to the cultural aspect of the community. ECU is expected to be a cultural leader, and support for the Fine Arts Committee wil! help accomplish this goal. | have often written about the role of the university and the role of the student in the university system. My comments have been aimed at getting the “common” student involved in some small way in the life of the university. Any contribution, even one so” minute as regular class attendance or good grades, will suffice. But for those students who are not satisfied with the minimum performance, there will always be ways of expending their extra energy. The FAC is an excellent way of aiding the academic community and takes very little time. Students who are interested in joining or in getting more information about the committee should attend the meetings on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. in room 302, Rawl Building. Folk music group to meet The American Folk Music Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in room 212, University Union for an organizational meeting. ‘Persons disturbed by the exaggerated degree of geocultural in the area in which they are now residing and wish to rid this most odious cesspool of musical deprivation of its cacaphonous discords by contributing the soothing sounds of folk music are cordially invited to attend,” said organizer Woody Thurman. All interested persons are invited to bring their instruments (whatever they may be) for a session after the business is over. Draft reduction --- a whitewash job? President Nixon moved in the right direction last veek by reducing draft calls and planning a shift toward a fairer selection system that will reduce the period of draft eligibility for most young men. The present day draft has become a blight on the lives of American young people and revision of the system is essential. The Democratic Congressional leaders replied to Nixon's proposal with a callous reply that business-as-usual probably will keep them from getting to long-term draft reform this session. Nixon’s actions, welcome as they are, do not get to the heart of the matter. For one thing, canceling the planned call for 50,000 men in November and ember will mean that only5,600 men fewer than last ar will have been drafied in 1969. Without the 1ounced cancellations, therefore, the Nixon tration would have drafted in its first year of V war 44,000 men more than the Johnson Administration in its last. T feel that this is another attempt by the {ministration to pull the wool over the eyes of the American populace. s becoming a pattern in the Nixon d tration’s life. In dealing with the war, the cities, the races, or the inflation, Nixon is making small yns to deal with vast problems, and the more ssions he makes the more he is asked to make. 4is troop withdrawals, far from satisfying the position, have merely raised the cries of the tamilies ose men are left on the battlefield. And now the opposition is growing firmer in its s. Millions of college students throughout the States have been planning a massive peaceful tion in their college towns on Oct. 15, calling to the war in Vietnam. demonstration say that Nixon's nt does not alter their plans. One of the students called Nixon’s plans a ‘‘cynical and calculated \ t pt to fool the public And now sources close to the President say that xon will make no further concessions until the enemy NC S yMeE favorable response.”’ juestion is, and wil! remain, whether Nixon ly to end the war; or whether he insists on | at heartbreaking cost in dubious hope of achieving some political end not yet possible. The President wants to reduce the cost of the war, cut the casualties and the draft and reduce the Opposition so that he can gain more time to fight and negotiate. His opposition challenges his premise and wants not limited casualties or limited draft calls but no casualties and no draft call...and above all, no war. Paul F.

Nor is it a_ social guidance problem relieved by a visit to the dormitory counselor and a_ tranquilizer. To the freshman girl it is an incurrable disease. The only logic to be found concerning the cause of the disease supports the general thoughi that the average freshman dormitory students is an immature, flighty, non-studious, nieve sex-pot. And for some miraculous reason she is cured of all these ills in 12 weeks. Assuming that this is true, since those who believe so are at least 20 years older and two degrees farther, the argument shall refute the methods of cure. Closed study is a relaxing time; with doors slamming and windows rattling. It is a very studious time; studying the latest rock music and love letters communally. One learns so many things during closed study; like the Morse code being tapped from wall to wall, and why not to draw to an inside straight. Closed study is so effective; that is why so many girls sleep during closed study and study after closing hours. Besides closed study ts so conducive to regular study habits; Monday night the library (no one saw freshmen women at the CU did they?), Tuesday night the movie “Bell, Book, and Candle” (what w is it about any way?), Wednesday night the U.S. Army Field Band concert (Lum’s sure does have good beer!), Thursday night the Udall lecture (met this really neat guy at the Buccaneer!), Friday night well the Greenville area (these rush parties really swing!). On the overall the closed study system seems somewhat ineffective. Several girls in my dorm have suggested a mandatory and tightly restricted quiet two hours from 7-9 for those who wish to study.

Many of your staffers were on the staff of the ‘East Carolinian” for three and four years. Next, they charge that you have a ‘Marxist bias on news presentation.”” This really takes the cake; and it shows a lack of knowledge on their part as to what a news story Is.

As to where they dug up the charge that the newspaper has “ proposed revolution as though it were an acceptable goal” is beyond comprehension. This charge only brought about a few good laughs. In short, their letter shows 4 complete lack of understanding regarding the purpose and function of a college newspaper.
