By BENJAMIN BAILEY Associate Editor the KEY concerning the Publications Board: ‘Through decisions of this group, contracts are let, editors are selected, salaries are set, and plans for the publications are approved.’ The Publications Board did unanimously agree to the $835 figure concerning the salaries of the staff of the REBEL. As you well know, this board is composed of editors, business managers, and managing editors of the four student publications as well as their advisors, plus three members of this body, the President of the Student Government, and members of the administration. OUTSTANDING BOARD | would like to bring out a point which is probable not common knowledge. There is a member of the Publications Board who has worked with the New York Times. A member of the Publications == TStudents carry heavy load school financed matters February !9, 1970 Board is the current President of Alpha Phi Gamma, the National Journalism Fraternity, and who in his own right is quite well known and respected in his field. FACULTY APPROVAL The faculty members of this Board are quite experienced in the realm of student publications. They felt that the salaries provided for in the REBEL budget were adequate and sufficient. However, this body made a drastic cut; and, as yet, no one has explained to me the reasons for this cut. The only reason | have heard is that it was ‘the will of the majority.’ Some people may say that this in itself is sufficient, but ‘the will of the majority’ must have substantial reasons or it is the will of no one. A second fault | find in this bill is that several, not just one, (continued on page 3) (Staff photos by Charles Griffin) SGA PRESIDENT JOHN SCHOFIELD assumed the podium to read his historic veto message. es ae Wie STEVE SHARPE AND JIM HARRIS gave affirmative What happens to the money the students here send during a quarter?

It covers all the medical attention supplied to the students, salaries of the doctors and nurses, maintenance of the building, and all related necessities. The room rent goes to the housing office. It is used for the operation and upkeep of the dorms. This, again, is its only source of income. The same is true of the laundry fee. It goes to the laundry office to cover, along with the expenditures of students throughout the quarter, all laundry expenses. ACTIVITY FEE According to Duncan, the student activity fee is given entirely to the SGA. The SGA is solely responsible for the handling of this money. The association is also entrusted with the receipts brought in by ticket sales and service charges from the programs for which it is responsible. These programs include those of the Artist Series, Popular Entertainment Series, and the ECU Playhouse. The other university fees are broken down as JIM WATTS OFFERED the negative discussion of the veto issue.

It is the duty of this body to legislate for the students. It is their responsibility and obligation to an oath that they shall try to represent the majority of the students on this campus. This is not in \ effect saying that you, as individuals, legislate for all the members of the academic community because you can’t. it One of the very first facts that | learned upon assuming office was that you can never do anything for everyone, so this Ree allen neem a megane brings up a very important question. Is the REBEL or any other agency of the Student Government Association for everyone? | contend that it is not. Just as the FOUNTAIN- HEAD serves a function, just as the Popular Entertainment Committee serves a function, the REBEL serves a function—not for everyone, for everyone is not artistically inclined—but it serves a function and a very valuable one at that. It is trying to bring into a world of technological specialization a bit of the romantic. Just as science has delved into the mysteries of man’s mind, the REBEL delves into the mysteries of man’s soul. Without a literary magazine this school would become a very barren institution. The purpose of the university is to educate, to provoke the thought processes of an individual’s mind. This involves much more than memorization for a test, the mere writing of a paper. This involves all facets of all human activities. NO REBEL? 1 am not so concerned with the past performance of the literary magazine; although, they are important, | am more concerned with the effect that no REBEL would have. Granted, many students would not miss it, but would many students miss a Student Government Association either? My aim is not to provide something for everyone, but it is for something for everyone on this campus who wants it. There has been talk in the last few weeks as to what the Legislature has done. It represents a form of census. This may be a bit far-fetched, but if this body continues its present path, there will be no agency of the Student Government Association that would not fear its parent body. As we all know, fear often breeds contempt and passiveness. To become men of the world we cannot allow passiveness to enter into our actions. We must take full responsibilities for educating ourselves and our fellow students, or at least give them an opportunity to educate themselves. SGA FUNCTION Another question which have heard is that the REBEL provides no function for the Student Government, and here 1 take issue, because | believe that it does. Just as our participation at the North Carolina State Student Legislature and the various Model United Nations and the other conferences we attend provides us with better RGA legislature debates ‘Rebel’ @eppropriation cut, upholds veto information, resources, and acquaintances that can be used to their greatest affect, the REBEL as well falls into this category. For if you have ever noticed the copyright of the REBEL, it belongs to the Student Government Association. The REBEL brings a reputation to itself. It, therefore, brings a reputation to the Student Government and this is highly important because we are fast becoming a highly respected and listened to body. We have a number of friends in this state; likewise we have a number of enemies, but they all listen to us. 1! could go on and on saying why, in my opinion, the $500 salary cut of the REBEL is unwise; but what | have said | think will suffice. | now ask that a motion come from the floor reinstating the $500 salary cut. For if you cut the salary of an individual, he will cease to work at what he is capable of working at; and when you do this, the task he performs for you falls in quality and interest. lf therefore, respectfully ask you to reconsider this.” Spearheading the opposition to the veto, Jim Watts, chairman of the appropriations committee said, ‘I have been wrongfully accused of axe murdering every appropriations bill that has come before this committee, yet when this bill first came to my committee, f, with the committee members, voted to accept the $835 bill. “The bill was sent to the floor, but the legislature asked that it be reconsidered. The appropriations committee took this tabling motion as a mandate to reduce the amount which had been requested because the legislature indicated they were not satisfied.” Continuing his opposition, Watts said, ‘‘Now, Mr. Schofield has vetoed the bill. He is well aware of the fact that this legislature voted unanimously on the REBEL salary appropriations bill. “He is also aware that the Treasurer has also signed checks in excess of the appropriations of this legislature.’ ILLEGAL ACTS Attacking Schofield, Watts said, ‘What Mr. Schofield seeks to do is to uphold and condone the illegal acts of the executive branch. “He asks that you join him and his men in flawing the SGA constitution and by so doing debase the time honored customs which this SGA expresses. “He has the audacity to ask this body to say that we were wrong in approving this bill. Now do what he tells us to.” Thursday, February 19, 1970, Fountainhead, Page 3 SGA TREASURER GAR to reconsider their decision. LEGISLATORS VOTED TO e call vote on the veto. Watts contended that the legislature had not made the wrong decision. He compared the salaries of the editors of the Rebel, Fountainhead and the Buccaneer. He cited that, according to the number of pages of each publication and the number of their publications each year, that the salary paid the editor of the REBEL is too high in proportion to the salary of the two other editors. Many men in New Men’s Dorm have told me that they are firmly against the REBEL, and they would like to see the magazine discontinued, Watts continued. Watts said, ‘“! thought this was a bit far out, but they instructed me to vote as | did, and in so voting | fullfilledmy obligation to the people who elected me. “STACKED” Watts stated that the Publications Board could not make fair judgements concerning the campus publications, because the board is ‘stacked.’ He said, ‘Three or four officers from each publication who help comprise the board scratch each other's back. Watts asked the legislators to join him in voting against “this veto which reeks of corruption and debasement of the SGA.” The legislature sustained the veto by a roll call vote of 21 to 9, killing the bill, thus making it possible for another appropriation bill to the Rebel to be introduced. A bill which would appropriate $835 to the Rebel for winter quarter staff salaries Y GASPERINI urged legislators nd debate and hold ‘a role was submitted to the chair before the meeting, and was to be introduced on the floor, but the legislators voted in favor of adjourning instead of considering the bill during the special session. Schofield made a statement concerning the charges brought against him in an interview with R. Grant Range of WECU. ALLEGATION Schofield said, ‘Tonight ina legislature meeting, Mr. Watts has made an allegation that | asked the legislature to condone an illegal action. | wish to take issue very strongly with Mr. Watts. “| have been called a lot of things in this past year, but never have | been accused of condoning an illegal action. “| take it as a grave personal affront upon my integrity as a man, and upon the oath | took April 1, 1969 tc uphold the constitution. RHETORIC WIZARDRY “1 think Mr. Watts was dealing with nothing more than rhetorical wizardry. If Mr. Watts has action and proof that | have condoned an_ illegal action, | demand that he bring it forth or show just cause why he should not issue an apology to the executive branch of the SGA. “My actions tonight were based upon a unanimous vote of the Publications Board, and as stated in the Key, part of their duties are to set the salaries of the publications. So therefore, if Mr. Watts takes issue with my integrity, let him bring it forth.” Sumas ab: 2rperoneabenguaenensencresteeek oe ‘Machett By F.

DAVID SANDERS special to Fountainhead To Ben Jonson, Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for all time’; and the frequency with which Shakespeare’s plays are performed 400 years later attests to the accuracy of the statement. j To make sure a play appeals to a 20th century audience, the Bdirector and the actors have the privilege—even the Bresponsibility—to stress that in the play which will make it B relevant and to excise or play down the rest.

POINT OF VIEW The most one can ask of a Bproduction is that it develop a consistent point of view, true at least to what is in the text of he play. Within these limits fall the melancholy and the xistential Hamlet, the anti-war roilus, the nihilistic Lear. % Macbeth (which somehow -™survives continued diluting in Mhigh school classes) is "BShakespeare’s statement about man’s meeting up with evil in he universe and in his own nature. The protagonist is a man of some age, a great military hero who, urged on by the witches’ prophecy, his own ambition, and his wife’s prodding, cannot wait for chance to crown him king. Instead, and against his Own conscience, he takes matters into his own hands and kills King Duncan. VICTIM OF SELF Having once taken this decisive step, he must then kill all who stand in his way. Each murder becomes easier to commit, because he becomes victimized by the evil in himself. Blinded by his own desires, he cannot see that each act will have its inevitable consequence in his own soul, and eventually he steps beyond the pale of humanity. When he slaughters Macduff’s family he commits his most horriole crime, which triggers the counterplot of Macduff and Malcolm against him and ultimately brings on his own physical destruction. In the Playhouse production, Claude Woolman plays Macbeth as a younger, low-key villain-hero, and plays him with great credibility . His Macbeth is a young man with professional ambitional ambition who moves up the ladder of success by trampling on anyone in his way. Amanda Muir’s Lady Macbeth is consistent with Woolman’s characterization; in fact, the whole court is a generation or so younger than it is usually played. This is a valid shifting of emphasis and in general works well with the college-age cast, but it does have its drawbacks. SPRING PICNICS Lady Macbeth comes on stage like a spring picnic, decked out in a long blond wig; she has even been picking flowers. Presented with this East Carolina University In Perso oY, Thursday, February 19, 1970, Fountainhead, Page 5 sweet young thing, one finds it impossible to accept her lines soon after which transform her verbally into an un- conscionable vixen who says “Unsex me here’ and ‘Take my milk for gall.’ Until her touching sleepwalking scene, Miss Muir remains too much the lady to become the power behind Macbeth’s getting the throne. Even for Macbeth (who rightly throws away many of his lines) this reduction in stature makes the great gloomy speeches less profound and horrible. In fact, with Minges Coliseum Wed.

Compensation for this must be made by a faster than usual pace, which this production does not always have. MORE CREDIBLE Be that as it may, the interpretation is consistent and it works fairly well. But then the supernatural is dropped: the witches are transformed into spirits of dead soldiers (as being more credible to a modern audience) and the scope of the play loses another dimension.

BLINDNESS POSSIBLE “Negligence,” Keene says, “will result in almost certain damage to the etina of the eye. It is possible that only one second of carelessness can result in permanent blindness.” He added that full precautions should be taken especially if the equipment used permits a view of the sun through the main imaging lens, as ina single or twin lens reflex camera, or in certain zoom lenses or telescopes equipped for reflex viewing. In viewing or taking photos of either the total or the partial eclipse, according to Keene, it is well to remember this rhyme, ‘’Filter nearest the sky to protect eye.” ADEQUATE FILTER This means in practice that an adequate filter must be in front of any and all optics, whether they be telescope, lens, finder, eyeglasses, or binoculars. Any other position of the filter in the system, such as between the camera finder and the eye, would be hazardous. The danger of eye damage is increased for those persons photographing in areas where the sun will be completely eclipsed. When photographing the total eclipse, the neutral density material MUST be used during the early or partial stages, and it must then be removed to permit sufficient exposure of the prominences or corona. Then it must be replaced in front of the lens in time to prevent burning or eye damage after the sun starts to reappear.

On Eclipse Day, bring a camera, plenty of color film, a tripod and proper filters. Then, when nature gives the signal, start shooting. © 1970 Js. Schlitz Bre Staging and acting in Macbeth are consistently effective (continued from page 5) evil supernatural forces at work in this play. And as this happens, the spectacle tacked onto the text increases. There is too much flag waving and too many birds chirping. The three spirits pop up where they don't belong (or at least where Shakespeare didn’t want them), and finally Macbeth, denied of dying in the noble Greek fashion--offstage--is slain right before our eyes and has to be carried off. It’s as if someone didn’t trust the Bard’s (or the Greeks’) judgement in the matter. It’s a spectacle for the sake of spectacle. The veteran actors in the show(Woolman, Miss Muir, and Sneden) perform their roles beautifully. John Sneden, in his one short Porter's scene, gets all possible humor, meaning, and tone from his lines. Many of the other parts, however, are weak and only mechanically support the lead actors Otto Henry’s original music, performed on the moog synthesizer, helps convey throughout,the tension of the action, the unearthly atmosphere, and the less than human, almost mechanical compulsion under which Macbeth falls. All this makes the drama effective in itself Why all the added spectacle to distract and detract from it?

Your incompetence is sickening, and you'd better set the cure into action. Doug Cockburn Dear Editor: After reading the editorial and the supposedly unbiased news article concerning The Rebel in last Tuesday’s edition of The Fountainhead, we felt that we, as students, must say something concerning this controversy. First, we think that it would be no great loss if The Rebel were never published again, especially if the funds of the SGA are used. Surely this is a Department of English function since Dr. Frederick Sorenson, who contributed several articles to the fall edition of The Rebel, is a member of the English Department faculty. After talking with several students, we have found that very few students to whom we talked had even bothered to read The Rebel and the few who did read it, thought it was a waste of the SGA’s money. The very fact that some students on this campus are jrawing salaries at the expense of all the students is outrageous. Second, it is obvious that Mr. Gasperini, Treasurer of the SGA, has violated the constitution of the SGA by writing checks for money that has not been appropriated. By this act, he is guilty of malfeasance of office and should have articles of impeachment drawn against him by the Legislature. We are fully behind Jim Watts in any effort that he initiates to cut money from The Rebel’s budget especially their salary budget. We feel that he has shown great interest in the use of the students’ money. Also, Mr. Watts should be praised by the student body for bringing to the attention of the students what seems like some underhanded work on the part of Gary Gasperini. Wayne McChesney Blake Beicher Douglas Chapman Dear Editor: As an instructor in the Fired’s Fhosblee HEY MAN, | SEE HERE WHERE THEY'VE INVITED PRESIDENT NIXON DOWN HERE TO WATCH THE ECLIPSE... DO You THINK HE'LL BRING SPIRO WwiTH HIM ? H Biology 71 labs, | would like to comment on the recent letter in the Forum concerning Exercise One, The Study of Behavior. While respect for life is a good and noble thought, let us reflect for a moment on where we draw the line. When we have a disease we try to kill the virus or bacterium (living organism) causing the ailment. We also kill roaches, vermin, and any other organism unpleasant to us without a second thought. These are living organisms. Why, then, are we so repulsed when, in order to learn more about our own behavior, we use a living frog? After all, by studying lower animals we can learn a great deal about the basic functions of animal nervous systems. If a cow or pig is acceptable food for the body, why is the frog not acceptab ‘‘food” for the intellect. Another point that must be brought out is that an animal does not “feel” pain if it does not have those higher associative areas which cause the feeling of pain. The frog, as a relatively primitive organism, lacks these areas; all it is doing is responding by avoiding a stimulus which through evolution and selection has been shown to be non-adaptive. We in the Biology Department do not inflict pain on animals and we do respect life. However, as scientists, we know that one cannot derive useful information without experimentation, just as one does not win a gold medal in basketball from hearing lectures about it or seeing demonstrations of the game. Miss Kear knows this also, and she was not present during most of the laboratory period. Had she availed herself of the opportunity or even shown enough curiosity to ask, she would have found that no tives’ were lost by man’s hand which were not produced by the same means. J.C. LeDoux WELL... IF HE DOES, IT'LL CERTAINLY BE A DARK DAY FoR GREENVILLE ! oO Thursday, February 19, 1970, Fountainhead, Page !! Student Government Association distributes all student activity fees (continued from page |) submitted the following information about the athletic program: in 1960, students were paying 63 per cent of all the money which went for the athletic program. In a decade, the amount being spent has not altered at all. However, there has been a sizeable increase in the money brought in by ticket sales and in that received by way of gifts, through the booster club. Today the figures look like this: Notalbudget (2. .......... $392,000 Receipts from students ........- 168,000 Receipts from other sources ..... . 224,000 TICKETS TO PUBLIC A minimum number of tickets are sold to the general public. As Stasavich stated, ‘We do have to sell some. The university has a responsibility to its alumni and to friends of the college.” “We cannot seat everyone at every basketball game, or at any other athletic event,’ Stasavich continued. ‘But, in order to avoid raising student prices on such events, we must sell to the public.” More than half of our revenue is derived from ticket sales. When asked where the money goes, Stasavich replied that better than one-third goes for grants and aids. The remainder covers the expenses of the Athletic Department for equipment, supplies, and uniforms. OTHER UNIVERSITY FEES SGA President John Schofield explained the use of the term ‘bonds’ covered by the Other University Fees. There are two kinds of buildings on campus: revenue-producing and non-revenue producing. The former type inciudes the dormitories; and the latter, such buildings as classrooms and Minges Coliseum. In order to cover the expenses of building non-revenue producing structures, it is necessary for the university to procure bonds. The interest on these bonds is paid for by the other university fees, as listed above. According to Duncan, this $34 is the only source of income for bonds. The fee is set up by the Board of Trustees to cover necessary expenses for the better functioning of the university, but those which the State Legislature will not appropriate directly from the General Fund. The Trustees are empowered to exact such a fee by the State Legislature. BOOK STORE EXPENDITURES in addition to the required tuition and fees, a sizeable amount of money is spent each quarter in the book store and at the soda fountain. A minimum of 75 per cent of their profits must go for scholarships.

The remaining 25 per cent of these profits is distributed by the business manager in compliance with the trustees. Such uses of these funds include support for the family life conference, the special music festival, the arts festival, expenses for the band which went to the inauguration of Governor Scott, refreshments served at the dedication of Greene Dorm and support for the debate team. Other expenditures include the meals purchased at the cafeteria. This money covers the operation of the cafeteria, which is an independent commercial food services organization. WHO DETERMINES EXPENDITURES? Who determines what money will be spent when and what it will be spent for? This question was put to President Leo Jenkins. He stated that ‘the Board of Trustees makes the decision on priorities. They base this decision on the judgment of the department heads, considering the directions in which we need to go in the immediate and more distant future, and on the history from which we have arisen.” As an example, the office of Health, Education, and Welfare recently communicated to this schoo! a set of guidelines for more compliance with the nation’s civil rights laws. These guidelines call for more minority group students and faculty members in the entire program of the school. Guideline number five reads: “Emphasis on the recruitment of minority group students should be a speciai part of the recruiting program. For example, more effort should be make to recruit monority group athletes where athletic grants-in-aid are avialable.”’ When questioned about this aspect of priorities, Jenkins replied that most of these guidelines are already being followed. Jenkins was also asked if there is any guarantee covering student expenditures. lf a student needed a ‘‘closed’’ course for graduation, does he have any assurance of getting it? Jenkins replied that there is no such guar antee. He said that there should be one. Students pay $34 for such things as the bonds on Minges Coliseum. Yet there is no way the entire student body could see any one basketball game. The artist series, pops series, and theatre productions are partially paid for by each student. A Vienna Boys Choir ticket cost a student eleven cents plus a fifty-cents service charge.

Certain Gasperini exceeded his powers by not having the additional approval of the Legislature. Both arguments seem to have at least some validity, and the entire situation is without precedent.

If it is not your responsibility to demand freshman class rights, then who is to bring up these important questions? Mr. Banks, it makes me sick to think that the class has an idiot as its leader Perhaps that’s because of the lack of issues raised during the various campaigns.
