The show that helped elect a President when its title song was amended to “Hello, Lyndon.” in the first year of its run, continued to draw thronged audiences on Broadway for more than five years after that and to delight theatre-goers from London to Tokyo and Melbourne, to become one of the long-run record-holders of all time.

We masquerade behind many illusions, delaying the acceptance of reality. Three illusions in particular widely * deceive us today. : The first is the illusion of “province.” In the Broadway play Fanny, Marius reproaches his father by saying, “You think Marseilles is the center of the earth.” And his old father retorts, “It is. That is north, that is south; that east. this west. | am here the center.” _ Such a narrow perspective has always lurked beneath our petty prejudices of race, class, group, religion or nation. But the "pressed and rapid social change within our culture today gives vent to those old prejudices ' which manefest themselves in an * acute provincialism. TENSIONS ERUPT It is no surprise then that class tensions erupt in such confrontations as that one in early May between the construction workers of New York and the “‘long-hairs.” “My country (read: group, race, religion, etc.) right or wrong!” It is difficult in such a polarized context to confess a need for one another. In fact, to do so would be considered a sign of weakness. But the need for one another, for “community,” is there at the depths of existence, and that need is real. Personal or group independence and superiority as a life style is an illusion and a denial of our humanness. “BEAUTIFUL LIFE” The second illusion is that of the “beautiful life.” As much as | am repelled by the Dick Tracy comic strip, I was still intrigued by a quotation depicted on the wall of B.O. Plenty’s home: “Lord, deliver me from the Beautiful People.” Why? Because they live the “beautiful life,” and that is a mockery of real life. The “beautiful life” is a land of glittering gadgets, financial success. social status, reigning laughter, and idyllic leisure. It is a climate where romance blossoms and all foul odors are eradicated with the proper deodorant. One trying to find that particular Camelot discovers that the journey leads only to the never-never land of an advertising agency. And nowhere is there any place in this illusion for suffering which is all wo real in life. Everyone should know that if he has ever cried out, “Why has _ this happened to me?” seg Beg P CEs OER: PAINFUL LIE Finally, there is the illusion of “living-happily-ever-after.”” It grand ending to oul childhood stories; it was 4 painful lie in adolescence when we learned it is not true. It was Was a There is no greater illusion than this, and our society guards it zealously. We hide death in the back pages of our newspapers, in tranquil “gardens of rest.” and in the cosmetics of our funeral parlors. We are like Skat, a character in Bergman’s ‘ The Seventh Seal.” Skat runs away from some friends in a forest where he climbs a tree, only to look down and see Death sawing the trunk. The dialogue runs as follows: Death: I’m sawing down your tree because your time is up. Skat: It won’t do. I haven't got time. Death: So you haven't got time? Skat: No, I have my performance. Death: Then it’s canceled because of death. Skat: My contract... Death: Your contract is terminated. Skat: My children, my family. Death: Shame on you, Skat. Skat: Yes. I’m ashamed. (Death begins to saw again.) Skat: Isn’t there any way to get off? Aren’t there any special rules for actors? Death: No, not in this case. Skat: No loopholes, no exceptions? (Death saws. The tree creaks.) Skat: Perhaps you'll take a bribe. (Death saws.) Skat: Help! (Death saws.) Skat: Help! Help! (The tree falls. The forest becomes silent again.) WHAT IS REAL The purpose of these somber reflections upon the illusions of “province,” the “beautiful life,” and “living-happily-ever-after” is not to prompt despair at a time when there is too much of that already. The purpose is simply to raise the question again of what is real in our lives. Assuming that education does have to do with the liberating and fulfilling of man’s potential, it is strange indeed that there is no more place for a discussion of the need for community, the meaning of suffering. and the reality of our lives. That is why it would be most unfortunate if one held on to his illusions while “picking up 4 trade” in the educational process.

It should be pointed out that requisitioning money that had already been appropriated to them by the Legislature; requisitions must have the signature and approval of the SGA Treasurer. This is the procedure regardless of its shortcomings, it is the one which should be adhered to. I personally feel cover the rock they were however, these we now have, that a publication should be responsible only to the Publications Board and not to the Legislature. This has not been changed yet; however, and the present system is still in existence. D.C. AND ATLANTA SGA Treasurer Steve Sharpe, did not approve the requisition and thus checks were not written for the two trips to Washington and Atlanta. He consulted both Phil Dixon, the SGA Vice-President, and me about the matter, and we both felt at that time that the requisition should not have been approved. Later I learned that two staff members of the Fountainhead were personally financing the two trips. I talked that we Monday, July 6. to discuss the matter further. It was decided at the meeting that the Executive Council favored the approval of = a requisition that would pay for the gas and food expenses of one reporter to the Washington Rally for America. We further decided that there would be no appropriations for the Atlanta i the decision and the reasons 1969-70 trip. The behind it. Executives Council’s decision are as follows: First, there were three Fountainhead staff that were already planning to go to Atlanta and it would make much more sense to pay these students by copy inch for their stories when they Wednesday, July ouncil of the SGA and decided should meet on reasons for the members of the returned rather than paying to send two more reporters. Secondly, we felt that the two rallies in Atlanta and Washington would be covered adequately by national presses and that the students of East Carolina could benefit enough from these releases. Thirdly, we felt that not enough students at East Carolina would be interested enough in the two rallies to warrant sending two on-the-spot reporters. Fourthly, we felt that the money the Fountainhead was planning to use for the trips could be spent more wisely on such things as allowing more copy in the newspaper. Fifthly, although we wish to improve and expand our newspaper as much as possible (as evidenced reporter to the Rally) we feel like the scope of our campus newspaper is not wide enough to cover such national events by on-the-spot SGA does not exist during the summer, the Executive Council assumes complete responsibility for this decision. I shall report 8.1970 Fountainhead, Page 3 y our approval of sending a Washington eporters Since the Legislature of the n the fall to the Legislature of RESPONSIBILITY Perhaps the most important reason that I cannot approve the spending of this money goes beyond the tangible ones mentioned above. Along with the honor and prestigue (sic) inherited by the office of SGA President, I have also inherited a great amount of responsibility. Your Student Government Association spends close to $400.000 of your money through your student activity fees. I feel that we should be accountable for every cent of this money and furthermore that the spending of this money to send four reporters to the two rallies mentioned above would not be in the interest of the majority of the students of East Carolina. I hope those that disagree with me and the Executive Council on this decision will understand our reasons and understand even more our responsibility. South Carolina poor face cut WASHINGTON (AP) Unless Congress acts quickly to meet an impending funding crisis, thousands of South Carolina poor people may face a sharp cutback in food stamp allotments.

The music is about the only thing left that can bring the people together. At least we have the music. Why the bikers were hired hasn’t been answered satisfactorily. Bikers usually show up at festivals, and there usually isn’t any trouble. There was at Altamont when the Hells Angels were hired as security. There could have been trouble at Atlanta. It seems rather contradictory to promote freedom on the one hand, and then try and impose order by invoking fear. Indeed, it seems that the festival promoters were more interested in imposing order than in promoting freedom. All done, of course. in hip jargon. Steve Kapelow was asked why people like Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman were not invited to the festival. “| understand why they are militant. | understand the frustration they feel towards straight society, but what they are saying is to tear down everything. That’s negative, What we want is positive action. We want all the energy created here to be used constructively to build something.” : SECURITY FORCE it all sounds good, but what Mr. Kapelow was actually doing was threatening the COMPARISON Jimi Hendrix, Mountain, Chambers Brothers, Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter. Grand Funk Railroad, and B. B. King to name a few, were there. Jethro Tull and Ginger Baker cancelled their appearance. At a festival, all the bands must be at their best musically. One big name follows another, and because the audience has an opportunity to compare one against another, those that do not perform well will loose touch with the audience. Consequently, the music at Atlanta was of very high quality. In particular B. B. King did an incredible blues set. Jimi Hendrix ran through a set of his old tunes, apparently intent upon proving he was a master guitar player. He proved it _ but his singing was not up to usual standards.

People were screaming at us to stop and the lightening was all around, but sade bands, and then keeping certain segments of the hip community from being able to we had to finish. We thought we had to, anyway.” It was fortunate they did. Their : speak up. If the festival had not been made free, the consequences of these actions continued playing helped calm down the audience, preventing what again might Why would have been worse than Altamont. But. the festival was made free, and was a success because of the people, inspite if all the incredible hassles. The almost unbearable heat, the threat of bikers, the concert delays, the mediocre sound system, the dust and dirt and overflowing toilets, and the hostile inhabitants was enough to make this the biggest disaster of the hip movement. The fact that it wasn’t disastrous but successful is proof that an idyllic setting such as that at Woodstock, is not an absolute necessity for a successful festival. REVOLUTIONARY SCENE “This is the most revolutionary scene in America,’ chick from Washington, D.C. Well, yes and no. The scene was “revolutionary ina cultural way. The people got together because they loved the music. Would half a million people have traveled to Byron, Georgia to hear hip political speakers preach ’ gurgled one enthusiastic Ba ee have turned into disaster. Last year, an unknown group called Grand Funk Railroad made an appearance at Atlanta. They have since become a big name in rock, and attribute much of their success to the people at Atlanta’s festival last year. This year, a virtually unknown English group called Mott the Hoople appeared on stage late Sunday afternoon. It was probably the worst possible time to appear. The audience had already heard two and one half days of music. The well-known bands would not be on until after sundown and most of the people were milling around talking to one another, trying to escape the heat, and only listening to the music with partial interest. Before Mott the Hoople was half way through their set. however, the audience was standing up, crowding the stage and moving and clapping to the music. The audience wouldn’t let them go. The stage announcer said there wasn’t time for an encore. that Spirit and Johnny Winter were coming up, but the crowd kept on screaming for more. They got what they wanted, and I think that the people of Atlanta have “discovered” another big rock talent. The most humorous aspect of the three-day festival was the local people who rode out to the festival site to gawk at the hippies from a distance, of course, and with car windows rolled up. Their most popular pastime seemed to be looking at nude bathers, and although they could be heard to be muttering “disgusting” their breath it should be noted that they didn’t turn away from the sight. but kept their eyes glued on the subject matter at hand the under “disgusting” Ae OTAR AA RMP LABNE ABA MAAGART! +. vy reewesiroverumeegeney est se Geet Mg Sick od > y DAVID WENDELIN w YIPPIE Doc W vi wt . h Pat 40 K0 N in w d Ay we , And entered into the : a Red. white and blue world of Bob Hope.

SON ARAVA MARLARET | a WGL c v t N C h MMCP stimulates new approach to The School of Music recently concluded a two-week workshop in conjunction with the federally supported Manhattanville Music Curriculum Project (MMCP). The workshop. was highlighted by a public performance of original compositions Thursday According to Dr. Ralph E. Verrastro, faculty member and coordinator of the workshop, “MMCP is not a method of teaching, but an idea. The emphasis is on music. It is concerned with the creative aspects of the art and the personal fulfillment to be derived therefrom.” Many of the MMCP strategies are concerned with students acting and behaving in a totally Cambodian By JAMES HORD Now that American combat troops have been withdrawn from Cambodia it is time to assess and analyze the results of that “excursion.” The most immediate effect of the venture is that the war in Indochina has definitely been expanded Secondly, President Nixon's “Vietnamization” program may suffer some setbacks. And third the American people have been sharply divided over this issue as over no other one since the Civil War WIDENED The Indochina war has been widened in the sense that the Viet Cong have been pushed from their sanctuaries near the Vietnamese border to the whole of Cambodia. In other words, the Communists have now been dispersed throughout Cambodia result of the invasion of their sanctuaries. Reports by United Press International on June 27 stated that two northeastern Cambodian provinces were now under complete control of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. These two provinces comprise approximately one-sixth of Cambodia. Later reports pointed out that the communists had advanced within 10 miles of the capital, Phnom Penh. reports seem to confirm the hypothesis that as a result of American ind South Vietnamese actions the communists are now intent Cambodia and aS a These nN occupying musical way with the view tha music is an ever changing art and that “treasured works” are but part of a history which is still being made today.

With this expansion of the war, it will be increasingly difficult for the U S. Army to train and replace the ill-equiped, ill-disciplined ARVN to a level of competence needed to fight the highly disciplined North Vietnamese Army At home, the Cambodian operation has divided polarized, and split the American people as no other issue has since the Civil War. From the killings of the four Kent State students to the S A L offmans 1970 hawkish cries Administration supporters, the Cambodian incursion has raised the tempo of dissent in this country, and the so-called “silent majority” has become not-so-silent. In short, it may be said that the Cambodian adventure has had a negative effect on the course of the war and has increased dissent. The war in Indochina has been widened and may soon engulf all of Southeast Asia; the President's war-making powers have been directly challenged by Congress, and the American people have been split down the middle over this issue. All of this does not bode well for the future of a democratic nation. Substantial reductions on all summer clothing MENS WEAR UNIVERSITY SHOP The Corner Room By GERALD ROBERSON Well it has finally happened. Dean Mallory’s “divine right” to determine the future of each and every fraternity on campus has shown another sparkling beam of illumination on the Greek scene. Yes. with a few turns of the telephone dial Dean Mallory single-handedly destroyed the plans for one fraternity’s summer orientation for the incoming freshmen men. But through some quirk of fate, the ordeal has turned out in favor of the ECU Interfraternity Council as a whole How our Dean of Men could have known the wisdom of his decision at that time is beyond this writer. Maybe it is only for the “divine” to know. 1FC DECISION This single fraternity’s plans were immediately brought to the attention of the IFC and the council decided it was favorable to serve beer, after others maliciously condemned that fraternity for planning to have a keg on its own for the freshmen. What befuddles me most is why Craig Souza, the present IFC President turned down a previous approach from a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council for the two Greek organizations to work together this summer and next fall for “rush”. It might be also noted that the vice-president of the IFC had to call a meeting concerning IFC orientation for freshmen instead of Souza, who didn’t even show for the meeting.

SANDERS’ RECIPE Kentucky and despite the single-minded slanders of my colleagues. POLITICS AGAIN North Carolinians are talking politics again. Already. with the off year elections still to go, many are looking forward to the 1972 governor's race: Since Jim Gardner managed to talk himself out of the governor's mansion and into the Greensboro Coliseum, voters are asking themselves who will unite the growing Republican forces. What about the Democrats, after what has been termed by some as a mediocre term so far by Robert Scott. In the next few paragraphs this writer will attempt to make a few predictions with a glimpse at possible strategies. The final primary counts will designate Mel Broughton and Leo Jenkins as the nominees for governor. Broughton on the GOP ticket and Jenkins on a Democratic Here is how it “might” happen. SWITCH Mel Broughton, son of a former Democratic governor managed to defeat Jim Holhouser for the Republican nomination after Broughton finally realized he could never gain a Democratic nomination and switched parties. Broughton also carried much of the more conservative Democratic membership and money with him to the Republicans. Across the line on the Democratic side Robert Morgan was the deciding factor in the Jenkins primary victory. Morgan, the past campaign manager for the I.

Morgan’s appointment will be in fulfillment of a pre-campaign strategy by the Morgan-Jenkins machine. Fountainhead holds survey of freshmen By BECKY NOBLE Members of the Fountainhead staff conducted a random sample survey of the first of six orientation programs for incoming freshmen. The initial question proposed to each interviewee dealt with Nixon’s recent “decree” on the abolition of draft deferments. Responses were almost unanimously against the President’s decision, while one student said the action was “good”. Secondly, we asked about the 18-year old vote. Answers ranged from, it came “too late,” ‘“‘rather wait,” and “indifference, to several freshmen who gave a favorable reply. We next inquired about their opinion of Vice-President Spiro Agnew. This proved to be the : most controversial topic of i (Continued on page 15) i SG to (contin perhd (perh Amel Atlar spenc Wash consi mone Amel those For 1 to ju and becat repo! simp It the | the 1 mani othet incu! mani that an ac cont purp cann news mate N allov exce man anal our s the icted a of the ograms oposed It with on the ents. almost t the ile one yn was out the Answers o late,” and several worable ut their nt Spiro be the ypic of , page 15) SGA officials attempt to control news coverage (Continued from page 16) perhaps the Washington story was newsworthy (perhaps because they agreed with the Honor America events), but no money was given to the Atlanta trip. The newspaper was finally allowed to spend about $55 of its own money for the Washington trip, but the Atlanta trip was. still considered to be of no value to a college paper, so no money was allowed to be spent. Such events as the two mentioned above, which are reported by Fountainhead reporters from the scene on pages 8-11, are very important to the young of this nation, if to no one else. And the Honor America Rally is certainly of great importance to those who are not among the youth of the country. For the two persons involved in this holdup of funds to judge the importance of such national news events and then to withhold money from a newspaper because they do not agree that the events should be reported in a college paper simply shows the simplicity of their minds. It is also a great infringement on that freedom of the press which all publications should enjoy. When the news that goes into student publications can be manipulated by two people, one a student and the other a faculty adviser. a dangerous situation is incurred. Prior censorship of a publication by the manipulation of funds is a powerful weapon, but one that does not have any place in a democratic system. For the SGA to appropriate funds to the newspaper and then to turn around and withdraw those funds because of the whims of two persons, in an academic community of some 5,000, is stretching control of a free press to absurd limits. It is the purpose of a newspaper to report the news, and this cannot be done if two people outside of the newspaper staff are able to control the content of the material that goes into a paper. No newspaper can exist for long if another body is allowed to censor it. This newspaper is not an exception to that rule. The press must not be manipulated. The facts must be reported and analyzed and then, and only then, can we live up to our slogan: ‘And the truth shall make you free...” SS DLSPOWS Funnies WE ARE Atl GRAVELY BE HALE oF THE UNIVERSTY 4 APPRECIATION.
