a ene By GARRY GIBSON (Stat! Writer) Fountainhead Editor-in-Chiet Robert Thonen was indefinitely suspended from ECL by the University Board Monday The sentence came when the Board declared Thonen guilty of “abusive language toward the President of the University.” In the court proceedings, Tony Harris was challenged as a member of the Board by Thonen’s attorney, Rick Atkinson, on the Brounds that he had been subpoenaed by the defense as a witness. Thonen also stated that Harris had played a major role in opposing Fountainhead this fall when the staff went on Strike. To Thonen’s accusation, Harris replied that he felt “that 1 could judge the issue fairly,” and the Board turned down the challenge by the defense PRESENT In their opening statement, the defense presented a letter from President Leo Jenkins in which he said that he would not honor the subpoena of the prosecution. He gave as a reason that he had final jurisdiction over the case and it would not be fair for him to appear asa witness at this time Next, Atkinson presented his own Opening statement. He quoted a statement from William Lloyd Garrison’s statement “I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard.” This was the attitude the defense adopted. Atkinson said he had “watched in despair as students have been forced to make a deal with the administration in order to salvage any hope whatsoever for their academic future” He continued, “The president of this University, who, according to these charges, is the true victim of Mr. Thonen’s crime, has ignored our most intense pleas to appear in this court and testify himself to that effect.’ Atkinson told the board that “Thonen has edited the Fountainhead himself in accordance with his conscience and will not be Suppressed by the legislated morality of anyone.” He added that the Board trying Thonen was the same one that had convicted Bill Schell on the testimony of * abaseball coach and a dean of students attairs who has more inate vile contempt for his fellow man than Attila the Hun.” In closing Atkinson said that if the Board found Thonen guilty and dismissed him from school that you will neither silence his voice nor repress his mind.” ABUSE AND DISRESPECT Thonen then took over his defense. He remarked that he felt the “actions of the Board deserving of nothing but abuse and disrespect.” “The writing and printing of abusive language is the right of any American,” declared Thonen regarding printing Schell’s letter replied “If the same letter came up tomorrow I would do so again...” [ will not accept a ‘not guilty’ verdict unless you reverse your decision in Bill Schell’s case as well.” In conclusion Thonen announced, “Your pompous attitude and asinine reasonings are so in conflict with this country’s principles make me physically sick. You may convey your decision to me at the newspaper office. | have Thonen an issue to put oui fur tomorow and i don't have any more time to waste on this mockery.” After a brief bustle by the crowd and the Board, Atkinson made the defense’s final statement for the day, “We can no longer condone the ensuing proceedings by taking part in them. we have watched, but we shall watch no longer, we shall no longer play the game by another's rules under another's injudicious arbitration. Thus, we hereby ask, that all those sympathetic with our cause join us in a gesture of civil disobedience in walking out of this court room At this time about 30 of the 40 spectators left the Immediately several students returned carrying a coffin which symbolized the courtroom death of the University.” Dean James Mallory followed the coffin bearers out and informed the campus policeman in attendance to “arrest them if they come back in here CONTINUED TRIAL ANYWAY The Board then decided to continue the trial in the absence of the defendant. Ira Baker, the advisor for the newspaper, was called as a witness for the prosecution. The prosecution was led by SGA attorney general Henry Gorham and Bd Harper. Baker was the only witness the prosecution, as the other witness who was subpoenaed. Cindy Byers, did not appear Baker was asked if he agreed with Thonen’s se of obscenity, and he replied “Bob and I have our disagreements but [am not the editor, Bob is, and it is his responsibility as to what is Fountainhead editor s in the paper My advice is after the fact Asked if he marked the obscene words that Thonen was using out when he read over the paper Baker replied that he did not Next, Dr. Charles Price, chairman of the Board, questioned Baker over the objection of the prosecution In answer to whether or not he thought the decision of the Board would infringe on the rights of freedom of the press, Baker remarked that he “felt that the decision that they made would make it hard for obscenity to be used but that it is no good after the fact.” SUMMATION After the questioning, the prosecution made its summation. It presented high court Statements. The defense tried to use such case verdicts in the Schell trial but was overruled on mie gioulids that Schell’s trial was not a court of law As there was no defense, the Board questioned the prosecution. Clamor by the prosecution was quieted by Price who said “the responsibility of the Board is to do justice,” The Board next presented a statement from the Publications Board signed by all the voting members that said the case did not belong in the hands of the University Board but in the hands of the Publications Board. The Prosecution objected and the document was not allowed as evidence VERDICT: GUILTY The Board left the room for the verdict, and returned in 20 minutes with “guilty.” It asked for recommendations from the Prosecution as to the sentence Gorham remarked “The only thing is his past record, he was found guilty by the Men's Honor Council of misappropriation of funds — to the tune of $400-500. We will not give a penaity because we feel it goes without saying.” The Board then questioned Gorham about Thonen’s misappropriation of funds. Gorham said it was the same as stealing. Price warned the prosecution that the charge was serious. Seeing that Thonen was virtually defenseless under a serious charge, Steve Neal, chairman of the Publications Board, asked if he could testify as a character witness on behalf of Thonen. The Board accepted this proposal and Neal gave his version of the charge that Thonen had suffered. He said that Thonen was acting in the best interests of the paper and it was a ountainhead ... and the truth shall make you free’ Volume II, Number 52 Greenville, North Carolina Tuesday, May 11, 1971 Vice-president elected Clifton Goodwin Moore, business manager of ECU, was elected administrative vice president by the ECU Board of Trustees at its meeting on campus Wednesday The recommendation to raise Moore’s status at ECU was made by Dr. Leo Jenkins, ECt president.

It was chiefly through the work of the Reverend William Hadden, who has been working closely with REAL, that the money came into the center's hands, according to the Rev. Lawrence Houston, Jr. Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church “Bill has been much involved from the beginning of REAL’s operation,” commented Houston. Through Hadden’s association with REAL and with the Episcopal women, REAL’s need for money became known The money was donated with “no strings attached,’ said Houston. He wasn't sure how the money would be used by REAL but felt the Organization has done “very fine work.” Houston feels REAL is a unique and valuable service for Greenville.

Calley would totally agree with that s.atement today As citizens of this country we have not a right but 4a responsibility .to uphold the principles upon which this country is founded One of these principles is that all individuals have the right to make their opinions known regardless of whether anyone agrees with them or feels offended by their words In addition we have a concept known as freedom of the press. Nothing is more sacred to a true journalist than to uphold and defend this principle And where should these principles be taught and defended to their utmost? else if not in a state university, Nevertheless, | now find myself, as did Bill Schell, before this Board f ADUSIVE language directed towards Leo Jenkins. | would like to make it perfectly clear that I writing and printing of abusive language to be the right of any American.

The opinions expressed by this newspaper j are not necessarily those of East Carolina University 3y MICHAEL JACOBSON We, the students, have been quieted about the trials that the University has conducted in the past. Yesterday, the defense of Robert Thonen stated his case in a dramatic and profound way. he told the Board that the essence of men is re 1 to that of public speech. He also reiterated his point by the exit of the defense and any sympathizers from the court In this moment of awe by attorney general Henry Gorham the rail continued, while trying to be informal. The audacity of the Board is not conduc to that of representative government. The Board should have realized the farce of the trial, and dismissed it as such, but with the presence of administrative officials, they continued It is for the students to react now, but the reaction should be that of the intellegence that surrounds this campus. The University officials expect the people of short tempers to take the first step. But we will continue with our dissent, by ignoring the officials. They try to teach us of democracy, but show us none. They try to teach us logic, but use none Let the officials be fooled by the totalitarian ways and the students lead the officials to the classroom to learn of the 1 fall of man orum in the library. And what about the embryonic medical school? Certainly there are very few current medical books in Joyner library I feel that if our class had taken the initiative and donated $1800 for reference books, instead of donating traditional superfluous border decorations, we would feel prouder of our contribution as a class to the University Lynda Burns Ridiculous To Fountainhead: Not only is this school messed up, but it allows other people to screw the students every step of the way One evening I noticed that a moth was flying around my room, so rather than let it die, I tried to let it out the window. In the process my screen became detached from the window frame. It did not fall to the ground, nor was it damaged I tried to put the screen back in myself but failed. I left a message with the dorm counselor to ask the maintenance men to come and replace my window screen. After a week, they did so. During that time I found I liked the view better with the screen out, but I was getting unannounced visits from flying insects, so I was glad the screen was put back A few days ago I received a notice from Mrs. Bunting of the housing department to go and see her. Upon my arrival I was informed that | owed the school $4.11 for putting my screen back in. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. | am sure the maintenance men are not getting $4.11 a minute. Somebody, somewhere, is getting tich, by ripping off the students All this wouldn't be so bad if I had the $4.11 to give them. If I do give them the money, I will not eat for four days. It’s as simple as that. Of course, I could spread it out to one meal every other day, rather than my usual one meal a day. People, this is ridiculous. It is unbelievable that the school would allow somebody to charge $4.11 for a twist of the wrist. I, for one, would like to know where this money is going. Any answers, out there? Incredulously, Sue Bowermaster Forsaken To Fountainhead: Oh, wise and traveled sage, on May 4 you said that you could foresee the time when students would live in apartments because of the obsolescence of the dorms. It’s too bad that the parliament of the Trustees lacks your LET'S FACE IT- THEY DONT FIT SES oes aE foresight, save one David Whichard Lord Leo, why has thou forsaken us? Your silence during the Trustee's meeting was, in effect, complete agreement with their actions against visitation and against the loyal subjects of ECU. Our kingdom is divided on the post. We might have had a rewarding stimulating future to look forward to. We, the peasants of this kingdom, are the future. Turn not away from your land for even now the ominous cloud of suppression is fast descending on ECU to squelch the free spirit of all, which was the hope of this land. The shroud of the trustees will choke us all. Leo, I can’t breathe One of the peasants, Cindy Kraus Everyone duped To Fountainhead: In reference to last Thursday's (May 6) article “Contest Rips Off Students,” may I add a postscript? | am a student who did buy a coupon book from the Magic Question Program. It is very possible to obtain a refund if no coupons have been torn out of the book. The bank also verified that they have honored International Advertisers’ checks once before. Be sure and cash these checks in now. After a bit of legwork I submit that: 1. WECU has been ' duped into advertising the program, 2. WOOW has been duped into advertising the program 3. Fountainhead has been advertising the program, 4. The men who rented office space io International Advertisers did not know the details of their business 5. Mr. Harold Creech of the Chamber of Commerce does not sponsor or condemn this program although some merchants involved are also members of the Chamber 6. One business concem originally involved found that they were misrepresented on the coupon as to the service they were willing to give, and so they quietly removed their name from the book and the deal, with the OK of International Advertisers. After a bit of brain work I conclude that: 1. We all were fooled -— students, townspeople, and reputable merchants — equally. | hope I can remember to admit this concusion to myself now and in the future, From the students to the merchants, can you find some tolerance? Name Withheld by Request duped into Doctor's Bag By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D. (Copyright 1971, College Press Service) QUESTION: While in Vietnam, I was subject to the loud sounds of artillery and other weapons. During an attack, a round exploded relatively near me. | was not wounded, but my ears gave me trouble for the rest of my tour. In my left ear | could hear several rather high pitched tones. Sometimes the tones are louder than at other times. There also seems to be a full feeling. When | was released from active duty the doctor told me the ringing in my ears would go away. It’s been almost three years since my separation and if anything the ringing is worse. I don’t mind the hearing loss so much but the ringing sometimes bothers me when I try to go to sleep ANSWER: Hearing depends upon an extraordinarily sensitive mechanism which can be damaged by sudden loud noises or by sustained periods of exposure to high levels of sound, It is said that performers in rock groups who spend hours rehearsing with loud amplifiers end up damaging their auditory acuity The condition you describe is technically called tinnitus. Your history certainly suggests that your hearing mechanism was damaged while you were in service. Find out about getting authorization from the Veterans Administration to be evaluated by a specialist in the area of hearing Unfortunately, some types of ringing in the ears are very difficult to treat as anything done to change the ringing would also result in deafness. You need expert advise QUESTION: How soon does the birth control pill get absorbed into the blood stream after ingestion? I’ve often wondered if vomiting a few hours after taking the pill would necessitate taking another one. ANSWER: Birth control pills are rather promptly absorbed from the Bastrointestinal tract. A specific answer to your question is not possible, however, because of the tremendous variation in the absorption time of gastric contents in different people. However, it would be safe to say that if a few hours (two or three) have gone by, the odds are rathe; pill has been absorbed. ee Suspiciousness makes me wonder if the vomiting you're concerned about might not be related to the pills. Some women do experience early morning nausea with the pill. This is Particularly common during the first few months of use. It resembles the morning nausea of early Pregnancy and is related to the estrogen content of the pill. It is not related directly to the presence of the pill in one's stomach. Therefore, a person Plagued thus can take the pill before going to sleep and heave to their heart’s content the next morning knowin that there is no chance of losing the r ECL accoidit Ina press Instruct pursue t in accor state Bo worked school Universi Ina the Boa “recomr next lo; medical Jenkit position decision medical when it was teas Jenkir letter to another | did with Allied | convince IS a step program Universit Jenkin of the [ concur necessary at the e ECU fee Universit M a Huey | Pirates Ta was “look sign a cor Accordi the comps to get res restaurant really did: that well asked the involve ci assured hi into the co Haislip | that the ac of the We beer invo Florida.
