The firesides have been planned by Miss Thomas to draw interested persons together for “an intellectual stimulation through group discussion.” The Baha'i religion is organized very informally to encourage independent investigation of truth, Miss Thomas said. One of the chief goals as a Baha’i is to promote world elimination of all prejudices from society, she told the group. peace by The Baha’'s believe in one God, but their religion differs from others in that they believe God is manifested through prophets such as Moses, Jesus Christ, Kirshna, Buddha and Baha'u'llah, who is the latest prophet. It is a progressive type of religon that changes with modern technology according to man’s spiritual needs, Miss Thomas said. The appeal of the Baha’i Faith is universal so that all men, into fireside group regardless of race, color or creed can be united, she said. Baha'is feel that work done in the spirit of service is a form of worship, sO many Baha’is find rewarding careers there, she said. If there are nine or more Baha'is living in a community, they are allowed to form a local Spiritual Assembly that takes care of the administrative duties within the community Conventions are held in the state and nation to choose representatives who will Je represented in the Universal House of Justice. One day out of each Baha‘i month, which consists of nineteen days, is set aside for spiritual feasts. At the end of their nineteen month - year, four days are spent in doing good deeds and gift giving. Members from other parts of the country are expected to visit East Carolina this year, Miss Thomas said, to add to the discussion groups which are held every Monday night in the Student Union. Union sends students to regional conference Student representatives from East Carolina will attend the regional conference of the Association of College Unions-international in Lexington, Ky., next week. More than 50 colleges and universities from Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia will be represented. The conference is scheduled Monday through Wednesday, at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The association, founded in 1914, is officially represented on more than 850 campuses around Fountainhead gets Washington bureau F ountainhead, which began using the Associated Press wire service in this issue, now has a Washington correspondent He is Bill Connelly, who runs the Washington bureau for the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel. Connelly will contribute a COUUMN as. often ae possible—hopefully in nearly every issue of Fountainhead. It all depends on how much time he can take from his duties with the Journal andSentinel. Connelly worked with the editorial. department of the Winston-Salem paper until 1967, when he was transferred to the Washington bureau the world. The purpose of the association is to provide an Opportunity for unions to join in studying and improving their services. Susan Jordan, assistant director of the ECU Union, will attend with the student representatives. They are: Conwell Worthington, Susan Carter, Roy Winstead, Allen Smith, Martha Knight, and Mary Jane Phillips. Scott names new trustee RALEIGH (AP)—Gov. Bob Scott reappointed two members and named one new member to the East Carolina Board of Trustees. Reappointed were Reginald McCoy of Laurenberg and Mrs. J. Russell Kerby of Wilson.

Futrell, editor and publisher of the Washington Daily News in Beaufort County, succeeds William Blount of Durham Tuesday, October 7, 1969, Fountainhead, Page 3 The possibility that the Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled vehicles from outer space was discussed at length last Wednesday by Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear physicist. The main thrust of Friedman's argument concerned his attitude toward the study of unidentified flying objects by scientists and by the government agency “‘stuck’’ with the obligation of investi- gating them--the United States Air Force. Most non-believing scientists, Friedman said, are ignorant not only of the facts about UFOs but also of the technology that might help them understand the vehicles’ motion or the possibility of interstellar travel. The Air Force concluded more than ten years ago, he said, that UFOs present no threat to the ‘ pis, ty ié | ‘ creed national security. Since that time, ne in he said, the Air Force has as- ‘m of sumed that because 80 per cent of find the sightings can be identified as said. conventional objects, all of them more can be. nity, Friedman said this is a decep- local tion. takes He pointed out some lities difficulties in defining a UFO. ity Those reports that can be state )OSe I we ° a for Vietnam dell CHAPEL HILL (AP)—About a 75 students who compose the a steering committee for the Oct.

He called the third group “The Unknowns."’ It is the Unknowns that cannot be dismissed and sahiek provide “overwhelming evidence” of ex- traterrestial visits to Earth, Friedman said. The lack of investigation, he said, is largely because of miscon- ceptions, reliance on irrelevant questions, and ridicule. Less than one per cent of the sightings that have occurred have been investigated or reported, he said. Published information con- taining solid data about investiga- tions have not been available to the public because of private pub- lication or prohibitive cost, he said. One publication he mentioned was an Air Force Publication entitled Project Blue Book Special Report, No. 14, which was released in 1955. The book UNC-CH completes plans Moratorium for refusing to train medics for Vietnam duty. There will also be dawn to dusk reading of the names of the Vietnam war dead, folk singing, “rap sessions,’’ a convocation with Nufield and Levy, a ‘sacrificial supper’ and a community religious service led by Rev.

He said Blue Book showed that 19.7 per cent of 2,199 sight- ings had to be labelled Un- knowns.

He said that intersetellar pro- pulsion is a definite possibility with nuclear propulsion. Chapel Hill advised to continue work on medical complex CHAPEL HILL (AP)-The University of North Carolina here has been advised by the state attorney general’s office to continue work onan $8.4 million medical complex despite two orders by the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen to halt construction. “'The university has not received any order to cease construction which the attorney general's office regards as legally requiring any work stoppage at this time,” Asst. Atty. Gen. Harry McGilliard said. City alderman David Etheridge requested the stop-work order contending that the building is too close to the street to comply with city ordinances and that the university did not file for its building permit properly. The board voted Wednesday to issue a second order to the university to halt construction. Sen. Mansfield suggests standstill, cease-fire in war WASHINGTON (AP)--Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield says he thinks President Nixon is trying to end the Vietnam war, but “it just hasn’t worked out as he had hoped.” The Montana Democrat suggested the United States call for a stand-sti!! cease-fire, under which American troops would fire only if attacked and at the same time work for a coalition government in Vietnam. Mansfield’s statement in an interview came as Democrats were in the midst of another round of sharp attacks on the Nixon war policy. Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, who tried for the 1968 Democratic nominationon an antiwar platform, charged Thursday that Nixon’s policies and rhetoric resemble that of former President Judge sentences youth to song LEE, Mass. (AP)-Long-haired Richard Biers, 21, Philadelphia, was arrested Thursday on a charge of trying to hitch aride on the Massachusetts Turnpike. He pleaded guilty to the charge in District Court but told Judge John Dwyer he did not have the money to pay the $10 fine. Noticing the youth carried a guitar, the judge asked if he would like to sing a song for the court in lieu of the fine. Biers complied with ‘’The Call of the Waterfall,’’ and went on his way. Computer Center plans 2nd seminar The second in a series of seminars on the Computing Center will be Thursday in room 105, New Austin.

Ronald Reagan, who used to be an actor himself, says the recent cascade of sexy films is ruining Hollywood. “| think the motion picture business is killing itself off,’’ he declared. ‘The hell with it. “The funny thing is, the solid pictures that are still being made are doing the best business.’ In an interview, the governor asked: “What writing does it take to simply have two people undress and get into bed? Call me a square if you want to, but | think the business has degenerated.” Reagan talked about the current state of the movies as he sat behind his desk in the Capitol. Lines crease his face, but his hair is the same auburn-brown as when he left the television series ‘‘Death Valley Days’’ to run for governor in 1966. He said that when he, his wife Nancy and their children Patti, 16, and “‘Skipper,”” 11, have gone to the movies recently, they have picked solid family fare such as ‘‘Oliver,’’ “Camelot,” and ‘Gone With the Wind.” He and his wife also enjoyed “True Grit’ and he had no objection to John Wayne's outburst of profanity in one scene. Through much of Reagan’s film career, which stretched from 1937 to 1966, the industry was under astrict code.

(AP)—Two North Carolina college students said Friday that legal action may be taken against Davidson College if classes are suspended at Davidson Oct. 15 for a nationwide protest against the Vietnam war. The students, George Dunlop, 23, and Raymond Bailey, 21, both of Catawba College at Salisbury, are state officers in Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), an organization formed in 1960 in support of the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barry Goldwater. The YAF’s president at Daivdson, Robert Bryan, Friday night called the statement “ill-advised.’” He said it should not be the responsibility of YAF to sue on any campus but that the responsibility should lie with each school’s students. The Davidson YAF chapter has six members, he said. Davidson's faculty voted to suspend classes Oct. 15 for a Vietnam moratorium after being requested to do so by the student body president. A spokesman for the private college said the faculty at Davidson has the power to arrange class schedules as it sees fit. YAF, the Catawba students said in a news conference in nearby Charlotte, intends to file suit against ‘‘any school in the state that ceases classes’’ on the day of the moratorium. Dunlop said college administrators leave themselves open to civil suit if they “violate the contractual and fiduciary rights of those students who desire an education.’’ He said there is an “implied contract’ between the student and his college that the student receive an education, ‘‘and class disruption breaks this contract.” said, are too explicit. Reagan said that when he and Mrs. Reagan want to take their children to the movies ‘‘we can pick up the phone to almost any studio in town and have friends there and say ‘What about it, we're thinking of taking the kids to such and such a movie.’ “Sometimes they scream at the other end of the phone yelling ‘Don’t, It'll curdle your blsod’.”’ Monumental commode DURBAN, South Africa (AP)--City Counciller Joe Ash wants Mayor Trever Warman to unveil amonument in the form of a backyard toilet to commemorate Durban’‘s outdated by-laws.

(AP) College students feel many newspaper stories are inaccurate and unfair, a survey shows, but rate newspapers better in this respect than news magazines, television and radio. The survey, conducted by a committee of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association, was presented at the organ ization’s convention Thursday. The view of high school pupils were included in some areas of the survey, and both groups said they spent more time with newspapers than with other news media. 34 arrested in Beaufort BEAUFORT, N.C.

The demonstrators were charged under state statutes enacted this year which govern gatherings and disorderly conduct. They were released on bond. Groups of Negroes gathered around the county courthouse about 10 p.m. Law officers warned the demonstrators to disperse, and when they refused, Sheriff Ralph Thomas and his deputies arrested them. invite him to tour Israel Gilboa visited Kirk to formally and wound up getting the governor's Psychiatrist views beliefs of poor RIDGECREST N (AP)- -Something fel tie when ‘‘a mountain man is il hold of by the Spirit,” a Cea University psychiatrist told th Commission on Religion i Appalachia Inc., Thursday, : Dr. Robert Coles, who presented a psychiatrist's view of the religious beliefs Tural poor hold, said, “There is emotion and passion in the religion of the mountain man.” The psychiatrist said Mountain jeople fee! deeply al! wee hdd ele Gcepry ai week about what is said on Sunday. “! could call this illusion an escape but actually it is their quest for God,’’ he said, ‘on the way they are able to live with ambiguity, and a mixture of faith and despair that gives them a sense of themselves and the world that hangs together.” Dr. Coles said our society has done things that have made him suspicious, submissive, withdrawn and hostile to outsiders. “We put labels like apathetic, superstitious and vindictive on the Appalachian folk,’’ he said. “But we need to see that every one of us hag all these things in us too.

The depths of this erosion cannot be measured, but it may be significant that officer resignations have been rising. Air Force resignations were up nearly 50 per cent in fiscal 1969 over fiscal 1968. In the Army, officer resignations jumped about 14 per cent. The climb was smaller in the Marine Corps and Navy figures stayed level, but the Navy is worrying about losing aviators and submariners “Many of my contemporaries with 15 and 16 years of service are packing it in,’ reported one Colonel. “Pride of profession has kept them going, but that pride is taking a terrible battering these days.” The services cannot afford a serious drain of younger officers particularly those who have gained experience and seasoning in the field and on staffs.

This is the picture of the Middle East that most young people of today are familiar with. However, there is another side--a side that is rich with history and full of places and sights that we have all heard of but that few have actually seen. Dr. William White Jr., assistant professor of history here, spent several weeks last simmer in the Middle East on a National Endowment for the Humanities grant. He was sent to study texts and archeological finds showing the use of technology by : ancient societies. During this academic trip, White found time to take a large number of photographs representative of the side of the Middle East that we have seldom seen. Some of these photos are shown on_ these pages.

The wailing wall shown at left was a main objective of the Israeli-Arab War of 1967. It represents the last standing remains of the ancient Jewish temple built by Solomon.

The Alumni Loyalty Campaign was begun tr January, 1967. Its purpos¢ to remind the Alumni that they financially as well as physically contributed unless and emotionally to their own department, nothing could be accomplished Good response At this time, 91,100 was available for use. The bill for the printing came to $2800, causing deficit. By promising to pay later when the Loyalty Campaign responded, Eyerman was able to contact the graduates and plead his cause The ultimate result of the Campaign was a jump from only $800 in 1966 to $14,000 by December of 1967. So far, about 1500 alumni contribute ucce between $14,000 and annually. The goal of the Loyalty Fund is to ge 4,000 contributors ( grand total of 20,000 each giving a nomina The problem, acc Mr. Eyerman, is the too many people dis importance Oot contributions.

The goal of the Alumni Loyalty Fund is to get at least 4,000 contributors (out of a grand total of 20,000 alumni), each giving a nominal amount. The problem, according to Mr. Eyerman, is the fact that too many people discount the importance of small contributions. They think that unless it is an earth-shattering sum, it will not be appreciated. Therefore, they give nothing at all. Continued repuests The idea behind the campaign is “if you don't get asked, you don’t give.” However, if you do get asked and you put it off, “you'll get asked again.”’ At present, income is just barely clearing expenses, but all profits are channeled into academic programs such as scholarships, and grants. As the alumni participation improves, more and more money will be available for these purposes. Bucking tradition Class reunions and Alumni Day are also part of Eyerman’s work. He has noticed the inadequacy of the Alumni Day system and is bucking tradition to have it changed. The problem as it now stands is that all the reunions are all held on the same day each year, always in the spring. This pits the golden anniversary group against the five-year fraternity men. Such a collection is difficult to entertain because of the wide expanse of interests. Eyerman proposes dividing, having the 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th reunions in the Fall to coincide with homecoming and the Silver through Golden anniversaries in the Spring as usual. The younger set would be far more interested in the homecoming festivities and the senior half could concentrate on the campus changes. This project will fall to the new director. Another innovation is the transition to IBM data processing. The internal management of the Alumni Affairs Office is of equal importance to the external. The AAO staff is converting al! the alumni records to a computer in co-operation with the staff of the data processing department. Data processing system Last March Eyerman attended a four-day conference in New York City to learn about the alumni departments across the country which were converting to data processing. With Robert Bolonde, Eyerman developed the system to be used. We maintain records on approximately 24,000 alumni. Our current mailing list is about 20,000. That leaves about 4,000 that are lost,’’ said Eyerman. The AAO serves as a clearing-house and a crossroads for the alumni. It provides services available to them no where else On campus. Lost class ring For example, an ECU graduate returning from Vietnam notified the office that he had lost his class ring and would like to get another one. The AAO contacted the ring company, collected the forms — dazzling The magnificence of the diamonds double uccessful tenure and has taken care of the problem. The AAO “should be and could be a vibrant part of the campus...We are trying to sell this school. Everyone here at EC is a Public Relations agent for the University. The more we can do to tell our storv, the better off we are,” said Eyerman. ‘We need their support’ In summing up his work, Eyerman said, ‘‘Personally and professionally, | get involved in ae WW not host on e ivitios Thoerea’s 9 anoiud activities...There’s enough going on to keep this job exciting--and it’s becoming more exciting as more and more student are graduated.

But the music began and even skeptics were captivated by almost four hours of solid rock. Attracted by the appearance of iron Butterfly, one of the dominant groups of the rock movement, music fans filled the Cumberland County Arena here Sunday. A need to hear good hard rock A nee brought many rock fans to the concert. Pure curiosity drew some otherwise ‘‘soul music” fans to the show. Long hair, moustaches, beards, granny glasses beads, and bare feet were common sights. Crew cuts, army jackets, ban lon shirts and teased hair also showed up in the crowd. Fayetteville seemed to be gaining a pop festival atmosphere as people sat arround on blankets, cars and sand, rapping and listening to the heavy beat of stereo tapes from nearby cars. Local groups Local rock groups started off the concert. The first, ‘Leroy Plus Two,’” began with hard rock, then added their versions of songs by Dylan, Donovan, and the Beatles. ‘Orange’ set an informal mood with a short session of jamming. Good original music and a sensitive girl singer gave this group. individuality and appeal. “Plant and See” proved to that Fayetteville rock has a strong foundation. An air of professionalism and solid musical ability made this the most outstanding of the local groups. Their girl vocalist presented a strong imitation of Janis Joplin. Even the Beatles could not knock their version of “It’s Your Birthday.” A newly released song called ‘Henrietta’ and other origional songs showed that this group has the ability to succeed just by doing their own music. The introductory rock groups merely warmed up the crowd with anticipation for the major guests. Flashing lights and pounding music introduced the st rs. Excitement and tension f' led the auditorium from the ‘"yeginning of ‘‘Are You Happy?” The Butterfly turned the crowd on with ‘‘Soul Experience,” ‘The Time of our Lives,’’ and other cuts from their first album and from their latest album, ‘‘Ball.”’ Trademark lron Butterfly’s trademark song, ‘‘In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida”" streched into thirty minutes. Ina ten minute dium solo, the bare-chested, bearded, wild drummer kept the crowd pulsating with his beat. His total involvement in his music drove the crowd to jumping on chairs, clapping, and whistling. To givea highly motivated performance, the group on stage must be involved with the audience. Iron Butterfly presented a near-perfect show in musical ability, lighting, sound effects, and communication. Professionalism and smoothness controlled their performance. An intangible group response seemed to be lacking in the Fayetteville concert. The majority of the crowd probably was not deeply involved in hard rock music. Respect and awe were present. Surface enthusiasm was displayed. But deeper, uninhibited, instant emotions were missing. The audience as a whole lacked the total involvement that makes music performers and spectators groove together on music. Rock revolution Iron Butterfly, as usual, presented a great show, complete with a haze of smoke during their song. But to present personalized, magnetic, super-show, a certain communication must exist between the people on and off stage. This quality was missing from the Fayetteville show, and only this quality kept it from becomming an emotional experience. With a little more time, anda Jot more rock music, the South will soon be involved in the new rock revolution. Non-whites banned from EAST LONDON, South Africa (AP) The Posts and Telegraphs department of segregationist South Africa has banned non-whites from using rural party lines. Confirming this, Assistant Director of Telephones J. F. van Rooyen said non-whites left in charge by absent farmers are rural phones liable to use the farmhouse telephone. Party line subscribers in the past often complained their conversations were disrupted by abusive langusge. He said no action would be taken if non-whites used farm telephones in an emergency or in the normal course of the day’s duties.

Are campus reforms actually effective? By SHARON SCHAUDIES Staff Reporter Many college campuses have responded to last year’s troubles with “new reforms.”’ Some of the more notable changes have come to campuses where the trouble was worst last spring. Many schools have added black studies courses. Harvard is phasing out its ROTC program. Several other colleges are rewriting their ROTC curriculum. A Department of Defense committee on ROTC is studying possible reforms and will be reporting later this month to the department on then suggestions. Their major suggestions will likely be in giving the individual school more say in the curriculum and restrictions for those in the ROTC program. Salary increases Teachers throughout the nation are receiving salary increases. Every major college has established a student-faculty-administration committee that will consider complaints ard suggestions from the students and faculty. As far-reaching as these reforms may sound, their probable effectiveness Is doubtful. They may change the areas of protest but there still will be protests. The Wal/ Street Journal expressed it this way: “Student militancy remains. Militants still protest the Vietnam war and charge that militarism and racism permeate U.S. society. The university remains a peculiarly vulnerable institution--dedicated to free expression but easily crippled by an excess of it.” SDS The Students for a Democratic Society are relatively ineffective because of the bitter schism at this summer’s convention. Mike Ansara, an SDS leader from Harvard dismissed a large faction by saying: “| haven't talked to those people in months.’’ Boston reported fistfights between SDS factions. The) Me UembeG | Ol demonstrations by the SDS will probably decline in number, while the number of individual confrontations may soar. A spokesman for Los Angeles City College predicts that ‘large riot conditions “will occur less often this year’’ but that there will be ‘more individual herassment, coercion and intimidation, and possibly guerriilaactivity.”” Guerrilla activity The Wall Street Journai added that ‘‘it seems obvious that guerrilla activity (which presumably would include sabotage and random acts of violence) would present universities with mew and difficult problems.” Many states have passed legislation that places fines on student disruptors and removes any state and state-run federal financial aid. Governor Ronald Reagan recently signed a bill that would fine a student up to $500 and 6 months in jail for returning to campus within 72 hours after dismissal! The University of Michigan has fireproofed its important files Harvard reported that ‘‘there is no way to insure’ that last semester's take-over tactics by a small dissident faction will not be repeated. The actual goal of present reform steps is to assure the majority ‘‘that reasoned views with respect to change will receive proper attention’’ and that ‘‘violent means...are inadmissible. ”’ Fred Hechinger of the Vew York Times summed it up this way: “Structural changes may improve communications and thus avert crises. But the real issues of trust are essentiaily psychological and a matter of personalities and leadership.” EDITOR'S NOTE: The basis for this article came from three printed editorials: an article written by Fred M. Hechinger, printed in the New York Times on Sept. 21,1969; an article written for Wall Street Journal, printed on Sept. 18, 1969; and an article written by Robert M.

Early Dear Editor: We enjoyed the amusing comments of James Hord, Allen Jones, and Cliff Guess regarding our fetter to editor. Now it is time to ground our generalizations so that our charges wil! not be unsubstantiated. the The following is a quote from an F.B.I. testimony to a House of Representatives Subcommittee on Jan. 29, 1964. ‘Controversial “The forum tentially controversia! racial ssues are deliberately and issuc c vidly seized upon by Communists for the fullest Racial exploitation. are magnified and ad by Communists it possible incidents dramatize an effort tensions.

Now look at the fré dat Sept. 16 nt page title in the issuer oA Ge University newspaper editor condemns National Guard during riots But then you argue that this 5 a news story and therefore objective. To you we say, “Bull.” By the very fact that an editor accepts or rejects these ‘objective’ stories, he is and subject to editorializing the influence of his biases. We must admit that the Fountainhead’s news articles show less Marxist bias than the editorials, which are always borrowing quotes from revolutionaries such as Heuy, Newton and Eldridge Cleaver, but this hardly excludes the presence of this bias. It won't hurt us to be exposed to the other side of the argument every now and then We realize that since we are not liberals, we cannot be ‘intellectuals,”” but the facts are clear and so is the record if you will just look at it.

Have they disengagey themselves from reality, and fleq to hide in the obscurity of tenure and the methodology of their particular discipline? Has the vast majority of the professors ang instructors at ECU copped out on their own convictions? C. Wright Mills, shortly before his death, lamented the “intellectual default’ jn contemporary American society, He aptiy surmised that the world is not looking to the intellectual, and the intellectual is not looking to the world. We have, as it were, a mutual withdrawal. The American intellectual is retreating from _ political involvement, and losing his nerve There must be faculty members, on this campus, who have not copped out, those who are strong in their convictions, and are unafraid to express their feelings about a given situation. There is a_ vitally important situation before us at ins time The National Vietnam Moratorium Committee is organizing a mass demonstration of conviction to end the war in Vietnam. On Oct. 15, 1969, students and faculty members on all university and college campuses have been requested to cance! classes, or simply not attend on that day as an organized protest of continued aggression in Vietnam. The reaction on the part of college administrations has been as expected. Mass suspension, and faculty dismissals have been threatened. At Elon College, in response to the President of the Student Body requesting the observance of this moratorium, the school president threatened mass dismissal. Understandably , Davidson College has taken much more appropriate action. It seems that there was no evidence 0 intellectual default. The faculty voted to suspend classes on Oct 15. With faculty support such é movement at ECU ts @ distinct probability. On Oct. '% hopefully, there won't be very many people in class The students need faculty support In our present-day world, it isn’t enough to be scholarly, on must also be concerned and angry enough to shout.
