BS RIAN Bari er es PIC Volume III, Number 29 Doctor seeks action ountainhead ... and the truth shall make you free’ Greenville, N.C Tuesday, February 8, 1972 against newspaperMerchants back vote “Because of the tone of the editorial and the editorial cartoon, we (the doctors and staff of the infirmary) are considering strongly legal action’’ against the Fountainhead “if a retraction is not printed in a prominent place ” in the paper, says Dr. Fred Irons of the ECU infirmary The statement which Dr. Irons referred to was the one which stated “The problems (of the infirmary) seem to lie in the incompetence of the doctors and lack of funds.” Cathy Johnson, editor of Fountainhead, concedes to the staff of the infirmary «ad the administrative officials as well as to the entire community that the remark was “technically unjustified as (she) was not professionally qualified” to judge the merits of the profession However, even though “the remarks were not those of a person qualified to speak with such authority,” Ms. Johnson reflects the opinions to be those “drawn from personal experiences of (herself) as well as other (she knows) who have come into contact with the infirmary.” “The remark was not meant as a University honors » By EDDIE WALL Staff Writer “To live in hearts we leave behind, is These words best sum up the feelings of her friends for Miss Cynthia Mendenhall Approximately two hundred citizens, students and faculty assembled in Wright Auditorium last Friday to pay homage to Miss Mendenhall, director of the Student Union since 1954 Miss Mendenhall passed away last week following a long bout with cancer According to Tucker, Miss Mendenhall was very active in her support of the University even outside her official role. “She played a major role in our academic scholarship program. She aided in transfer student and freshman orientation programs and helped in selection and instruction of not to die personal reflection on any of the members of the infirmary staff, but as motivation for other studetns to draw the attention to the overall inefficiences of the student health services,” said Ms. Johnson Dr. Ed Monroe, administrative director of the campus student health services, explained the misconceptions of the Fountainhead article by describing the work load of the doctors in terms of the increased number of patients in a ten-year period According to Monroe, the doctors at the infirmary see approximately 300 students per day. “There are increasing demands with fewer and fewer people to deliver them,’ says Monroe He went on to add that the evening counseling session dealing with abortion and contraceptive topics are conducted by the doctors without extra pay because the doctors “view the students as family,” not because they are required to do so Ms. Johnson and Tommy Clay, SGA president, made public statements today clarifying the statement in the February 3 Fountainhead late director marshalls.” Tucker expressed Miss Mendenhali’s Significance to the University when he cited her many friends among the students and faculty. In his words, “We shall miss her.” Dr. Leo Jenkins, a long-time friend of Miss Mendenhall, commented, “She loved life and lived it to the fullest. She was able to meet all of life’s challenges, even death On mentioning Miss Mendenhalis devotion to others, Jenkins said, “She often argued for others and even made provisions for others to be aided by her after death She donated her body to research and made a request that in lieu of flowers, persons contribute to the American Cancer Society.” Jenkins finished by stating that Miss Mendenhall’s sense of religion was a strong force in her life. “Her faith in people sprang from a strong belief in God.” Music for the memorial service was provided by the ECU -Choir under the direction of Dr. Charles Duncan Miss Mendenhall, a former teacher and ECU’s first director of the Student Union has been with the school since 1954. She was very active in the civic life of Greenville and a member of St. James Church Jenkins properly expressed the desire of all citizens of Greenville and the University who knew her when he closed his speech with “Sleep well, Cynthia.” New editor elected (Staff Photo by Ross Mann) By PATTI PAUL Staff Writer “Editorial leadership is composed of direction, motivation, and control.” Thus Philip Williams answered the Publications’ Board's questions in a meeting to choose a new Fountainhead editor last Thursday night following the resignation of the current editor. 20-year-old Williams was chosen as the new editor after a two-hour session Members of the board directed various questions to the tive applicants for editor: Horace Whitfield, Frank Tursi, Nick Godwin. Don Trausneck, and Phil Williams. Each applicant described his abilities in the areas of leadership, business knowledge, press laws, and layout experience. Williams was chosen on the basis of editorial motivation, responsibility, practical knowledge, and leadership Sophomore Williams is the former press secretary of SGA, Fountainhead managing editor last fall, and the former presidentia! candidate of the now defunct Student Party for the Elimination of Radicals, Minorities, and Out-of-Staters, (SPERMO) As new editor, Williams has long-range plans and a_ strong desire to see Fountainhead as an active voice journalistically and in the community. “The entire operation should be knitted together,” he said. Future plans include an in-depth look at the organization with the hope of establishing a better rapport between staff and editors, and the various departments of the paper ““A combination of writer skill and editorial responsibility will help Fountainhead,’ Williams believes. Williams has had experience in layout, proofreading, news reporting and editoria! writing ‘ “I will use my powers of patronage to gain the optimum performance from the staff,” he said. Williams asswmes office March Ist By VICKIE MORGAN Staff Writer A majority of the Greenville me feel that ECU students should be allowed t register to vote in Pitt County Harold Creech, president of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce. said that although he had not formed a definite opinion yet, he felt that because ECI students were included in the census counts they should be allowed to vote here He said that the students make up “of Greenville’s population, as the 7,000 students who live within the city limits are counted “I believe that students should certainly be allowed to vote somewhere. Absentee ballots may prove to be a solution.” ~ Scrappy Proctor, Jr.. owner of Proctor’s lid, said that if a student lives here 9 months out of the year, he should be allowed to vote here. “They know as much as anyone else,” he stated “If they can’t go home for one day to vote and can’t register here,’ Proctor said ‘they should have absentee ballots.” Proctor suggested that a poll be taken of ECU students to determine their interest in city government. If enough interest is shown, he SGA action Legal aid By RICH NEELY Staff Writer Legal aid for ECU students is closer to becoming a reality Due to action by the SGA Legislature a student lawyer will be hired to legally assist the students Rick Atkinson, in charge of obtaining a lawyer, said that there is a need on campus for a lawyer, “The students here need a lawyer so that we won't have to depend on other sources.” The bill gives full power and authority to the Executive Committee, with the advice of the Legal Aid Board, to hire a lawyer for the expressed use of ECU students. This lawyer would be a full-time employee of the students Money to support a lawyer was appropriated last fall when students passed a referendum that enables the legislature to take 50 cents from the fees paid each quarter Atkinson said, “We hope that he will have the powers of a normal attomey. Primarily the lawyer would be used in cases of students vs landlord, consumer protection. On a long range basis we plan to use the lawyer for conflicts between students and administration.” The administration can’t understand why students need a lawyer, but the lawyer that represents the university does not represent the students,” noted Atkinson Atkinson emphasized, “We are not out to thumb our noges at the administration. We are perfectly satisfied with the way things are running right now. What we do want is for the students to have the same legal rights as any By SHERRY BUCHANAN Staff Writer “Pye worked hard all my life and the world was my classroom,” said W. Lee Miles, owner and president of Tarheel Home Supply, as he spoke to the ECU chapter of National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT) The group met at Parker's’ Restaurant for a dinner honoring Miles on Feb. 3 “Mr. Miles is a self-made man,” said Dr Fredefick L. Broadhurst, faculty advisor to the chapter, “and he has greatly supported our group by providing part-time jobs for our students, employment for our graduates, and facilities for our socials.” Miles spoke after dinner to about 50 people, “I enjoy working with young people because I have faith in them,” he said As he continued, he gave a brief account of his own life in the selling field and added a few keys to success for the group “First of all you have to realize that there’s not just one key to success, and when you stop looking for it, you'll be better off.” Miles named truth as the main key, a desire to succeed as second, and the setting up of goals as the final key “But you have to believe in yourself,” he added, “and take everything one step at a. time. When you start skipping steps you're in trouble.” Answering questions from the floor, Miles told the group personal appearance was all-‘emportant in. job interviews. “‘First impressions dominate the end result,” he cautioned, “so present yourself in an impressive and enthusiastic manner.” Miles said that a job applicant should always find out all he can before going to said, students should be able to vote in | elections Frank Steinbeck of Steinbeck’s Mer Shop, said that he felt everyone should but students should use absentee ballots.

It is just my opinion that h ignorance is inexcusable Sincerely Yours, Rich Griendling Clarifies MRC To Fountainhead t necessary at this time to clarify a few things concerning the Men’s Residence Couneal. First of all, it does exist. The MRC reorganized after the fall Since then, its members have was completely juarter break ied serve the men on campus in every way possible There are several services which the MRC has already provided for this year that may not be realized. First of all, the MRC has reinstated the program of loaning ithletic equipment in the Belk Laundry All that is needed is your ID and activity ud. This equipment was paid for with joney that was left over from last year ond, and possibly the most important is that the MRC has provided for one new pool table and two pin ball machines in Belk, Scott, Slay, and Aycock. Jones already had this service through the cafeteria. The achines will be put in the dormitory basements except where Slay is concerned The machines will be put in one the social oms in Slay. The importance of this service is that the MRC will receive 50% of the incomefrom aehines. This money will go back to the students in the form of services ind entertainment rather than to sane company. This also assures’ the students that the MRC will not have to collect from them to provide these services. These machines and tables will be in some time in the next couple of weeks. Third, the MRC is planning a dance for the night + before reading day. All the plans have not been ‘completed but ample publicity will be out when they are. Fourth, the MRC also pro vides magazines in the Haundry to read while there. We ask that those whé use these new CANT EF CLASS! ive BEEN Was BENINP WAT YOKER FOR THREE OURS! FrHERES ONB ~ me EVERY CROWD! AAI The Forum athletic tables and the equipment please try to take care of them machines and The equipment does not belong to the University and it will not hurt the University if anyone damages the equipment. It will only hurt fellow students. If the equipment lasts longer, it will be possible to spend the money elsewhere on other services. The MRC is also checking into the possibility of extending the visitation hours but not much has been said yet. We ask you to comply with the rulés regarding visitation if there is any hope of keeping or lengthening it. If any one has any questions concerning the MRC, they are welcome to come by the office in the lobby of Scott from 6-9 Monday through Thursday nights. We will also frequently put out notices as to new services or entertainment. There is also an MRC bulletin in the lobby of Scott Tim Bixon Relates facts To Fountainhead AJthough IT had been previously well-treated at the infirmary, when I went there for an examination after having an abortion, I was subjected to what I felt was considerable mistreatment When I explained what I wanted, one nurse said to another in a disgusted tone of voice,“Well, do you want me to handle this one, or do you want to?’ This made me feel that I was not welcome there and I wished that | hadn't gone there for help. The nurse who helped with the examination jerked my legs tudely in such a way that it hurt. While I was being examined, a friend who was waiting outside clearly heard one say to another, ‘Well, does she have to have an abortion, or has she already had one?” When I learned about this, it increased my embarrassment and anger, because | thought that such matters were supposed to be kept confidential. I think the infirmary staff should treat students with greater courtesy, regardless of what their medical problems are Name withheld by request Expresses views To Fountainhead: 1 am writing in response to a review of the comedy group, “We The People”, who performed for the Union Coffeehouse the week of January 24-29. It was written by John R. Wallace, who has the audacity to refer to himself as a “Reviews Editor”, and appeared in the January 27 issue of the Fountainhead Mr. Wallace, it seems, suffers from severe case of intellectual megalomania. He bases his review on tired and weak allusions to the similarity of the group’s name and the Preamble to the Constituiton and he calculatimghy ignores some facts and Miappresents others First, he conveniently ignores the fact that there were approximately .15 to 20 people in attendance at the Monday night pexformance and any group finds it difficult, as one of tif group said, “to perform before a painting.” ses Second, Wallace says it is easy to understand why the group was happy to be working. The fact to which the group referred was that many of their colleagues (a competitors if you choose) are out of work, which is ‘perhaps in itself some indication of their talent to which Wallacé so piously refers in his article Third, as for forming a union,’ Wallace seems to forget that regardless of their professional name, Al Fenelli, Bill Crystal and David Hawthorne are three individuals and quite talented individuals at that. I personally thought they worked well as a team and beautifully as individuals. I feel that I speak for the majority of those attending the performances when I say that Wallace’s review was biased, unfair, and incompetent, and those who stayed® away because of his review missed an enjoyable evening of entertainment by three good comedians and fine gentlemen “more perfect Joe Stroud ‘73 Shows concern To Fountainhead I am concerned over the swastika that appeared in your paper on February 3, 1972.
