oun qin ed GREENVILLE, N.C./VOL. 5,NO.1/WED.,5 SEPT.1973 mt lin, ee LIF OPT ary Once again, with feeling : ECU '73-74 So what happened in Greenville during your summer vacation? There have been some definite changes: the three campus buildings under construction made some progress the Humanities Building has added a new story, -the much promised new library addition is bearing less resemblance to a trench, the Student Union is starting to look more like a student union. There have been other changes. A system of ramps and inclines for use of the handicapped is evident cross-campus part of a “barrier removal” program. The freshmen who survived orientation are coming back to Greenville to live, work and discover the eccentricities of a university. The Mall has been planted over with telephone booths, the Country Store is now the Happy Store, there’s a Mexican restaurant on 264, and Garrett Hall is now co-ed _ You have a brand new Student Government, brand new Student Union officers... and will have a new Publications Board once the members are elected. Toth students who spent the summer here, and to the administrators and faculty who spent the smmer preparing for September, none of this is particularly novel; they have no sudden shock of return or recognition. It’s all pretty much the same. But to you - the returnees - September is new, regardless of your political leanings, regard or disregard for the academic system, last year's grades, parent trouble or summer jobs. We're all wondering where the money's going to come from, wondering if it’s actually worth it, and shuddering at stories of Ph.D’s who are forced to bag groceries for a living. And we're here anyway, trying to take in a little beginning freshness before winter makes our long-lost friends commonplace and sends us dragging to class. The Fountainhead staff was in Greenville long before now, planning and juggling ideas for this registration issue. We watched maintenance personnel dust out the dorms for you; we saw them set up the registration tables in Wright Auditorium. We experienced the pangs of a completely closed Greenville - signs read ‘Will Reopen Sept. 4° - and had just accustomed ourselves to the silence when students began to return. Ten thousand radios will soon echo throughout the land. Throughout this coming year, we wish you intelligent and productive thoughts, a desire to act upon them, and a wish to communicate them to those around you. As a human being, you are a born explainer and communicator; your uniqueness lies in your ideas and speech. That's basically your reason for being here - and we're here to help out. E C. U.

The 16,000 sq. ft. facility is being constructed near the downtown business district at the corner of First and Reade Streets overlooking the Tar River. The site was purchased by ihe University from the Greenville Redevelopment Commission. Plans for the modern, one story structure shows the building containing staff offices, conference rooms, a drafting room, an exhibit room for Eastern North Carolina products, a library and a 300 seat auditorium. It is to be completed by August, 1974. The cost of the project is $556,000 and is funded in part by the State; the U.S. Economic Development Administration; and the Coastal Plain Regional Commission. Tom Willis, director of the ECU Regional Development Institute says that construction on the facility “culminates a nine year effort to secure funds for the project.” “We've become very crowded at our present location (on 5th Street across from the ECU campus)” he said, “and this new building will give us the added efficiency needed to handle the ever increasing number of projects.” Last year the Institute com- pleted in excess of 120 projects. The projects are designed to aid the proper economic development of 32 Eastern North Carolina counties and include seminars on timely subjects, job fairs, land develop- ment, environmental advice and consultation, management and loan assistance and community develop- ment. Dorm rates up oO Dormitory room rental rates at ECU have been increased $37.50 per academic year effective this month. The new rates approved by the ECU Board of Trustees will be $352.50 for the academic year of -three quarters, a figure recom- ec S rhe , 4 ia hw aa) iit Sen th | widen Bud eile mended by Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs C.G. Moore because of increased utilities and labor costs. Moore said that in view of the increased rates for electricity and water charged by Greenville Utilities and higher labor costs the rental increase is necessary to meet debt service and operating expense and to maintain a reserve fund for these items. Dormitory rental rates for the summer session of two items will be increased from $105 to $117.40. Despite the increases, Moore said the ECU domitory rentals will remain less than all other comparable institutions in the state-supported system with the exception of N.C. State University in Raleigh. STEADY DECLINE Moore reported a steady decline in dormitory occupancy and said the rental increase was necessary to stay near the “break-even” point. Most ECU dormitory con- struction was financed by self- liquidating bonds. ECU trustees also approved resolutions presented by Moore to vest the board’s committee on Budget and Buildings with respon- sibility for maintaining a master plan for physical development at East Carolina University, to select architects or engineers for building or improvements that require professional services and approval of building sites. ACT FOR BOARD The committee on Property was also authorized to act for the board in acquisition or disposition of any interest in real property bit providing that if such proposal involves an interest in real property valued at $50,000 or more the matter must be recommended by the committee to the full board for approval and forwarding to the Board of Governors. Jenkins honored O)The ECU Board of Trustees voted unanimously in June to name the new Humanities Building now under construction on the campus in honor of Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins.

Jenkins was informed of the action at his home where he and Mrs. Jenkins were hosts for a social hour and dinner. TWO STAGES The Jenkins Humanities building is being constructed in two stages and will contain 118,000 square feet of floor space capable of accommodating 1,000 students and 50 faculty members. The first stage with 55,000 square feet of floor space will be completed in about a year and the second, larger stage for which a $2.1 million appro- priation is contained in the 1973-74 capital improvements budget will be constructed later. The Humanities complex which eventually will house the entire ECU School of Art has been described by Dr. Wellington Gray, dean of the School of Art, as “a better situation in design than anything else in this part of the world.” Features will include banks of rectangular bay windows on the north and south sides, each providing proper lighting for a studio. There will be 14 studios on the second floor and seven on the ground floor. UNFILTERED GLASS The windows will be of unfiltered glass to allow the student to use the cold blue light from the north and south exposures rather than the changing yellow light from east and west. The first floor will house sculpture studios, plastics and advanced sculpture rooms and wax and bronze studios, wood and metal working shops, clay mixing rooms and an electric foundry. Lecture rooms with wall mounted projector screens will be on the ground floor and there will be a main entrance on the Fifth Street side of the complex with a large loading dock in the rear. Because of cutbacks in original budget requests, gallaries and administrative office areas were omitted from the first stage construction.

There will be painting, drawing, craft and jewelry rooms and some office space. The building plans includes a studio for dyeing and printing fabrics with heated dye vats and drying areas. BRICK PATIO A walled brick patio area will contain five kilns including one truck kiln with a trolleycar for rolling sculpture and ceramics in and out of the heating area on wheels. Other kilns will be conventional shelf-type. The second stage of the complex will house galleries, faculty space, administrative offices and class- rooms. In addition to the Humanities Building name, the trustees acted to name two other relatively new ECU campus buildings in honor of well-known friends and benefactors of the university and the ECU community. Upon Jenkins’ recom- mendation, the Social Science Building on Tenth Street was named in honor of Lawrence Brewster of Greenville, and the Education Building in honor of J. Brantley and Carrie Speight of Winterville. Phones aplenty (OA great deal of telephone construction has been completed this summer on the ECU campus. This was made possible by the joint efforts of Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company and ECU Officials. All of the rooms in Aycock, Fletcher, Garrett, Greene, Jones, and White dormitories have now been wired for private telephone service. Prior to this project, telephone service was not available in any of these six dormitories; therefore, they had to be completely wired. The project included boring holes, placing conduits, and installing inside wiring and cabling at a cost of eT ea $59,525. Don A. Collier, tocal manager for Carolina Telephone said, “This work was done in order to provide much needed telephone service to these six dorms and thus make service available to all students who live on campus.” age 2 page 3 . page 6 .page 11 Sar eee Sa SE SE IS, Ae, eee ee + ae En, SF SecA EPS RE ame ae TERA on v RT woe a U Th the n orgar unusu not m studer relate that v intere unkno that v this ¢ studer what ' sol Th prima: gramn respor wide a no sef feel ov numbe recrea rangil profes bingo contin' change deman to resy we ar our e) the ro amoun would if we stude: return These respon It 3 fulfill t S.G.A reling respol Union. an in¢ ization its re: G i) 7 See ee iture for ing, poms t area es a iting and a will one - for es in : a on ae. plex pace, lass- nities ed to ECU r of ctors ECU com - ence was ence the of J. t of nfy: hone yleted ECU le by olina ipany Sl Sl Se SENSE ie, cee se 2 ee en, SS ee eee cock, ones, now yhone ject, ilable ories; letelv oring and bling 525. er tor work much these rvice ve on Re MARCRESTOR, “Nok ae TERA or VU eR woe TTC FT FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL.5,NO.1/5 SEPT.1973 3 Union is prime programming source By GIBERT KENNEDY Student Union President The Student Union is probably the most misunderstood student organization on campus. This is unusual because we have so much, if not more, impact on day to day student life as the S.G.A. and its related organizations. We don’t feel that we can best serve the student interests when we're an isolated and unknown organization, so let me say that we are most appreciative of this opportunity to inform the student body as to who we are and what we attempt to do. SOURCE OF PROGRAMMING The Student Union is the primary source of student pro- gramming, and as such it is our responsibility to provide such a wide a variety of entertainment that no segments of the student body feel overlooked. Thus, we sponsor a number of different types of social, recreational, and cultural events ranging from pop concerts to professional theater productions to bingo parties. In addition, we continually strive to be sensitive to changes in student programming demands and to be flexible enough to respond to these trends. Thirdly, we are always seeking to upgrade our existing programs. We serve the role of a trustee over a vast amount of student money and we would be shirking our responsibility if we did not see to it that the students are getting the best returns possible on their money. These are out three primary responsibilities. INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION It was in the efforts to better fulfill these responsibilities that the S.G.A. voluntarily and permanently relinquished its programming responsibilities to the Student Union. The Union has always been an independent student organ- ization, but before September 1972, its responsibilities were only to ~ A oe ~> sponsor such events as bingo parties and Christmas decoration parties. The lectures, pop acts, artists series shows and films were sponsored by committees under the auspices of the Student Government Associ- ation. Being under the S.G.A. the committees became so involved with campus politics that it was impossible to establish a consistent and responsive programming policy. To get the politics out of - programming was the reason for the transfer of these responsibilities from the S.G.A. to the Student Union. BALANCE OF POWER The 1972-73 school year was a difficult one for the Union because the emergence of the Student Union upset the balance of power (if you'll pardon the expression) among the major campus organizations. For example, the S.G.A. had to accomodate itself to the fact that it no longer controlled campus programming and a number of conflicts occurred before the authority of the Union in programming responsibilities was made a reality. An even clearer example of the initial waves caused by the emergence of the Student Union can be seen in our relations with the Fountainhead. When the Union separated from the S.G.A., it also left the body that appropriated $136,000 to the Publications Board. The result was that many of the individuals in Publications began to consider the Student Union almost as an everyday Greenville business to the point that the Union was expected to spend student money to buy advertisements in the student funded school newspaper. MAJOR CONFRONTATIONS We felt that this was a waste of student money that could be better spent on programming, so major confrontations between the Fountainhead and the Student Union have entered into a new era of mutual cooperation as evidenced by this lengthy article which would not have been posible a year ago. Now that we are firmly _ established and the foundations of the Student Union have been laid, it is now time for us to turn our attention to the improvement and expansion of our programming. This past summer our major project was the expansion of the Entertainer into a weekly pub- lication. Here are some of the benefits resulting from this change. First, we will be able to inform the student body exactly what each event involves. For example, what a pop act sounds like, what a lecturer will be discussing, or what is the subject matter on an upcoming film. Secondly, it will give us a direct communication line to the students so that we can explain the reasons behind our policies, and can bring our problems to the student body for suggestions in solving them. Thirdly, by selling ads on a break even basis, we can save the $600 a quarter presently being spent on the Entertainer and put this money into other programs. Fourthly, it will lessen our promotional demands on the Fountainhead which have been the major reason for our conflicts in the past. FLEXIBLE LIGHTING Also, this year, we purchased two trouper follow spots to be used in Wright Auditorium, in the auditorium in the new University Center, and on the Mall for our outdoor concerts. This will make our lighting system much more flexible and will make a notable addition to the quality of our presentations. Last spring a new committee was formed to bring professional dramatists to campus; largely as a result of the enthusiasm with which the student body received Sleuth. Over the next year the Theatre Arts Committee will be presenting Godspell, The Prisoner of Second Avenue, R.S.V.P. the Cole Porters, MARGEL MARCEAU 4 World's Greatest Pantomimist GODARD/% Kling Sina “Sympathy for the Devil (1+1)"* and John Chappell performing Mark Twain Tonight. VIDEO TAPE FILMS Other changes which we are working on are the establishment of a video tape film series and the acquisition of an exclusive room for our coffeehouse shows. In addition, we are planning to sponsor the coffeehouses on a weekly basis with an emphasis on the use of local folk talent. Periodically, nationally known, professional talent will be presented as a change of pace. If a student has a suggestion on how we can improve our program, feels that he or she has been slighted, would like to get involved, or would simply like to find out we are doing, our committee office is in Room 214 of Wright Annex. We need and welcome your input, so drop by and let us get to know you.

HELP US-HELP YOU- THROUGH UNDERSTANDING STUDENT SUPPLY STORES ‘‘Majoring in Service’’ During your stay at East Carolina University, you will in all probability visit the Students Supply Stores on many occasions to purchase textbooks, school supplies, or some of the other many items that you may need in obtaining your education. For this reason, we would like to present to you the foilowing information so that you may gain a few insights into our operation and be able to better understand our goals and objectives. The Students Supply Stores is owned by East Carolina University for the purpose of rendering service to the University community. We are charged with the responsibility of providing books, school supplies, and other tools of the educational process to the students on campus as well as those attending classes taught throughout eastern North Carolina by the Division of Continuing Education, which includes two centers at Cherry Point, and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. We also carry the imprinted lines of merchandise which are normally carried by college bookstores; and in addition, your Students Supply Stores operates snackbars and vending machines at various locations on the campus. Like any business enterprise, we must make a profit it we are to grow and to continue to provide service to succeeding generations. Our case, is that the new snack bar recently built near the Music Building is to be paid for out of the Students Supply Stores’ profits. However, any profits derived from the Stores’ operations are used for the benefit of the University with a minimum of 75 per cent of distributed profits going into scholarships, which are awarded by the Faculty Scholarship Committee. Over the years, the Stores’ earnings have provided scholarships, without which hundreds of students would never have been able to atend the University. In addition, the Students Supply Stores is the number two employer of students on campus; the Library being number one. We have on our payroll, si all times, many students who must work to help defray the cost of their education. STANDING INLINES Your first exposure of the Students Supply Stores could very well be in the form of the very long lines waiting to enter our store. Realize that we are responsible to serve nearly 10,000 students in a matter of nearly 40 hours at the beginning of each quarter. Extra staff is employed in the store during the rush period. We are all concerned about the long lines and do our best to keep them moving as fast as possible. TEXTBOOKS The largest department we have and from which more than 60 percent of our sales are derived is the Textbook Department. Most of the misunderstandings we have are centered within this department of the Students Supply Stores. Textbooks are the expensive tools of the trade--the tools of a student. National figures suggest that books for required courses cost about 4-5 per cent of one’s total educational expenses. When you figure that you receive a high percent of your education from textbooks, your investment in these books is one of the best offered in your entire educational process! The pricing of books is determined solely by the publisher and prices are subject to change at their discretion. From the price structure offered by publishers, stores receive a 20 percent discount on which to operate. An order for textbooks originates about two months prior to the need. A requisition form from any academic department tells the store the title, author, publisher, and number of students expected to enroll. We request book orders from the faculty as early as possible as it allows us time to screen the ‘‘used book’’ market as thoroughly as possible. STUDENT SUPPLY STORES Will be open until 6:00 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6 and Friday, Sept. 7 for your convenience ¥ Often we are asked why a $1.65 copy of ‘Moby Dick’ is requested when we have a 50 cents edition of this title in stock. This is not the Stores’ choice -- not should it be! It is a faculty decision based on the edition’s special footnotes, appendix, or other justifiable reasons. There are several understandable reasons why we occasionaally run of textbooks or do not have them available when classes begin. It is not unusual, because of unexpected enrollment, to have divisions created as classes start. An enrollment demands fluctuate, classes projected at 50 could end with actual enrollment of twice that number, without the store being forewarned. When this does happen, we immediately call for books. However, they can never be shipped as fast as the call was made, and so we are out of stock until they arrive. There are a few orders for books the store might not receive until after classes begin. This happens either because of a late faculty arrival or decisions not being made. Sometimes books are ordered with the knowledge that they are not scheduled to be published until after classes begin, though the decision is made in the student’s overall interest. One other important reason why the store may not have the books on hand when classes begin is because the publishers may be out of stock at the time our orders were placed with them. REFUNDS If you discontinue a class for which your books are purchased, a refund will be made. The liberal policy we have had in the past has been reverted to the standard return program that prevails on most other campuses because of the typically ‘‘few’’ who try to break the system. Publishers have policies which we have to adhere to concerning the amount of time we have in which to return books. Accordingly, our format is focused on these policies. Textbooks may be turned in for refund if a ‘‘Drop-Add”’ slip has been secured from the Dean’s office confirming a class change. With this and the sales slip, we will gladly refund your money on any textbook for a period of about one to two weeks afterclasses begin for the quarter. Originally, we refunded on any book with or without a sales slipor ‘‘Drop-Add”’ slip. Unfortunately, we found that the ‘‘few”’ were taking advantage of our generosity. We were refunding on books purchased in quarters gone by. Deadlines on refunds are posted and customers are constantly advised to ‘‘KEEP YOUR SALES SLIP!’ On other merchandise in the store, refunds do not apply since quality is always 100 percent quaranteed. BOOK IDENTIFICATION The method by which we purchase used books from students controls the pilfering of books on campus to some degree. Should your books be stolen, your first check should be with our ‘Book Buy Back”’ area. Frequently, an individual who does pick up another’s books will bring them to the store and sell them back to us as used books. If you are able to identify your books, we are able to locate the seller and not only will your books be returned, but the student body will also benefit by having the guilty party handled properly. An easy suggestion for your book identification would be to choose anumber, such as 36, and circle every page number 36 in every book you own. Should your books be picked up, come in and fill out a lost book form and we will watch for the title of the book and the particular page number which is circled. WE ALWAYS KNOW FROM WHOM WE BUY ANY AND ALL BOOKS. CHECK CASHING The Students Supply Stores will cash a check for you up to $10.00 without a purchase; or if you make a purchase, you may write your check for the amount of your purchase, plus $10.00. The STudent Bank, which is located next door to us in the Wright Building, will cask checks up to $75.00 Be sure and get Your Student Activity Calendar for the year at Registration EDB At the beginning of each quarter, we try to have on hand as many used books as possible since this is the only means we have of saving you any cost on textbooks. We obtain our used books from two sources. One, we buy used texts whenever possible from other college bookstores and from companies that specialize in the buying and selling of used books. The second, and most important, source of our used books is the students themselves. We try to buy back from the students as many books as possible, because it serves as a means to reduce the total cost of books that a student buys in a year’s time. For any textbook that has been requisitioned to be used the following quarter, we will pay 50 percent of the original price of the book when purchased new. We then resell the used textbook for 75 percent of the original price. Then, if that book is sold to us again, we still pay 50 percent of the original, new price. For an example, suppose you buy a textbook at the ebginning of a quarter that cost $10.00 new and sell it back to us at tne end of that quarter. We will pay you $5.00 for that book, it if is being used by a faculty member the following quarter. Instead of that book costing you $10.00 for a quarter’s use, it only costs you $5.00 or 5) percent less. We then resell that book to the next student for $7.50, which is three-fourths of the original price. At the end of the second quarter if that student sells the same book back to us, we will pay him $5.00 for that book or 50 percent of the original, new price. The second student has then used that book fo. a full quarter for $2.50 or one-fourth of the original price. This is assuming that the book is in resalable condition, of course. As you can see, the secret to keeping your total cost for textbooks down is to shop early and buy used books whenever possible. Shop early for used books and save. This is a buy-back policy that is used in most college bookstores throughout the nation. There are several things that affect and control the policy of the Students Supply Stores in buying back textbooks at 50 percent and these are as follows: 1. The store must have a written requisition from the academic departments requesting the books for the following quarter. 2. The faculty members decide which textbooks are to be used and when they are to be changes. This is as it should be. 3. The policy of using only the latest editions of books is urged by the Administration in order to insure that the most up-to-date material possible be available for the students in obtaining their education. Therefore, only the latest editions are brought back. 4. On very rare occasions, there is a time when a textbook is being used the following quarter but we do not offer to buy it back for 50 percent and the reason for this is: Either a new edition is coming out in the near future or the instructor has informed us of his intent to drop that particular text and adopt anew one, and we already have in stock more copies of the book than we can possibly sell. We also buy and sell as many used paperback books as possible to help tine students keep the cost of books down. We buy those books no longer being used on campus for a used book company. Their lists and their prices are used as a buying guide. MARKING BOOKS You will notice that all pricing on new textbooks is done by charcoal. This is because publishers do not extend credit on books which have any marks whatsoever on them. We are not even allowed to price books in pencil. Because of this, we cannot refund in full on new books with markings of any kind and constantly stress,’’Do not write in a book until you are positive you are going to use it!’ 7] el Refrigerators 29 This month marks the beginning of the fourth year of the Student Government Association’s refrig- erator rental program. The rental program which was established to help the students at East Carolina, has two main purposes. “First, we try to benefit the students by offering them dorm refrigerators at low cost,” said SGA Refrigerator Manager, Tommy Clay. “Our rates are currently only half as high as those of our off-campus competitors.” FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES “Second, we help the SGA meet its financial responsibilities.” Every year the Refrigerator Fund gives $10,000 to the Student Government. This money is then appropriated by the Legislature for SGA projects. According to Clay, the program may end when the lease expires in 1975. “Our costs are constantly rising and our rentals have been decreasing. We must rent at least 1,200 refrigerators each year if the program is to be successful.” DIFFICULT JOB Running the program can be a difficult job. The 1,200 refrig- erators must be delivered every fall to the dorms and picked up again in the spring. Breakdowns inevitably occur during the year and repairs must. he made Alen the tremen- w dous volume of paperwork that is required must be kept up to date. Summer presents special problems. Because summer rentals do not take more than 400 refrigerators, the remainder must be stored. ‘We can’t afford off-campus storage and there is little available room on campus.” Clay stated, ‘We're really desperate for storage space.” Also, many students do not take care of their refrigerators. Con- siderable money and time must be spent each summer to repair and clean the refrigerators before the fall rental period begins. PROGRAM CONTINUES In spite of these difficulties, the refrigerator rental program continues. Refrigerators are rented for $12.00 per quarter or $33.00 per year, plus a $10.06 damage deposit. Summer rental rates are $6.00 per session. Concerning the fall rentals, Clay stated that the demand is usually in excess of the supply. “We work on a first come basis, and most of our refrigerators are rented by the first week of the quarter.” “We have a table set up behind Memorial Gym on registration day to take refrigerator orders. After that, you just have to take your chances and hope there are some left.” FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO.1/5 SEPT. 1973 ODW géts plan Norfolk, Va.-(1.P.)-Old Dominion University has announced a new campus master plan for the University which anticipates an enrollment of approximately 15,000 students on a 160-acre campus by 1980. As described in the 68 page document, the primary planning and design goal of the plan is the development of an efficient, flexible, and attractive learning and living environment. Features of the plan include development and location of buildings necessary to house an expanding university, planning for acquisition and development of | oo oe oe ee 0 r Greenville’s only r es leather store The Trading Post is now taking 1 custom orders! pupon request | Qe Cc ye) land, development of clearly identifiable campus boundaries, reorganization of campus vehicular circulation patterns to a peripheral system, development of an efficient parking system, and grouping of buildings designed for related subject matters. Existing through-street patterns of vehicular circulation will be changed to a perimeter loop system. The plan calls for 1,400 additional parking spaces for 1980. A total of 4,180 spaces will cover approximately 38 acres for an estimated 849 faculty members and 933 staff members, 2,420 graduate students and 12,830 under- graduates. A prime consideration in the selection of sites for new construction is the grouping of buildings into subject area groups. Another consideration is that a student can walk from the library or any classroom to any other classroom within ten minutes. From the heart of the campus, all major classroom buildings, the library, and student center are within a five minute walk. The master plan also considers many factors through 1990. Ac- cording to the document, building modules foreseeable through 1990 can be located within the area defined in the plan. Periodic updating and re-evaluation are considered necessary by University officials. & coc ice STUDENT TELEPHONE SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE IN ALL FOR a] eed 5,6,7,10,11. 5,6,7,10,11.

The interpretation manual contains an explanation of the regulations outlined in the amend- ment enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on May 23, 1973. The new amendment reads as follows: .“AN ACT TO AMEND G:S. 116- 143.1 (b) AS IT APPLIES TO ELIGIBILITY FOR RESIDENT TUITION FEES AT STATE SUPPORTED INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. “(b) To qualify for in-state tuition a legal resident must have maintained a legal resident in North Carolina for at least the 12 months immediately prior to his classifi- cation as a resident for tuition purposes. in order to be eligible for such classification, the resident must establish that his or her presence in the state during such twelve-month period was for purposes of maintaining a bona fide domicile rather than for purposes of mere temporary residence incident to enrollment in an institution of resident classification are (is) bona fide domiciliaries of this state, this fact shall be prima facie evidence of domiciliary status of the individual applicant and (2) if such parents or guardian are not bona fide domiciliaries of this state, this face shall be prima facie evidence of non-domiciliary status of the individual. Julian Vainright, Assistant to the Business Manager, asserted that while the new amendment may be beneficial to some student, it may also be detrimental to others. Where the old tuition law required that an individual maintain residence in the state of North Carolina for a twelve-month period without enrollment as a student as a requisite for resident status, the new law provides that an individual may remain in school while establishing himself as an in-state resident. However, the student must also prove that he has established his permanent domicile in the state. The interpretation manual, received by Vainright, outlines the qualifications for establishing a permanent domiciliary in North Carolina: “Since the parents of the student are domiciled in another state, the student is presumed to be a domiciliarv of that. other state ie AUTHORIZED RALEIGH DEALER Onn : BICYCLE SHOP 813 SOUTH EVANS STREET PHONE 752-4854 on the student to come forward with compelling evidence that he in fact is domiciliary of North Carolina, contrary to the statutory pre- sumption. If the student presents no additional evidence other than the fact of his rsidence in North Carolina for twelve months as an adult, he is not eligible for classification as a resident for tuition purposes.” The interpretation as it is stated tends to be rather vague. Ac- cording to Vainright, there are many factors to be considered as “compelling evidence.” Since al! of these factors must be weighed together to determine an_ indivi- dual’s eligibility for in-state tuition, there is no set rule which can be applied to all cases. Vainright answered several questions which were submitted relating to the establishment of a North Carolina domiciliary: Q: When will final decisions be made on the status for East Carolina students? A: According to Vainright, full information should be submitted to the Business Office. If the infor- mation is complete and there are no discrepancies in the case, resident status will be determined promptly. If the applicant feels that he is entitled to in-state residency even thaneh the Rusiness Office has consider his application a second time. Q: If a judge has declared an individual a resident of North Carolina for use in a court of law (i.e., a divorce case), will it follow that the individual will be classified as a resident {for tuition purposes? A: ‘This would be a_ strong indication,” stated Vainright. How- ever, other factors must coincide with this evidence. Q: Can voter registratio the payment of income and property taxes, or the possession of » North Carolina drivers’ license determine the resident status of an individual? A: Although these are all factors to be considered, none within itself can determine residency. Vainright stated that he felt it important that any student applying for residency provide all such evidence to the businesss office. Vainright emphaszied the importance of providing full and complete information for consider- ation. President Friday declared that any student who finds that the enactment of the new amendment entitles him to in-state resident status will be reimbursed for out-of-state tuition paid to the school system since the ratification ewe 4d... --4 2m Waw 99 1079 ‘Specializing in adult and racing bicycles Including a complete line of accessories, parts and all bicycle repairs! ¥%& RALEIGH We JEUNET Ww JACQUES ANQUETIL John has moved to 813 S.

Le) \ Planned renthood Marines’ program... Marines at Camp lejeune and Cherry Point will be able to attend school on their bases and obtain a college degree if a new four-year program being developed by ECU is approved. Dr. Leo Jenkins, Chancellor of EAU and General W. J. Wilkerson, Commanding General, Camp Lejeune Marine Base, announced plans for the new progrm at a news conference at Camp Lejeune. Dr. Jenkins said that East Carolina University plans to offer a Backelor of Arts degree with concentrations possible either in the arts and letters or in the social sciences, but he said the final details of the degrees must be approved by the ECU Faculty Senate and the University System Board of Governors. “We have every reason to believe that this new four-year program will be approved and will get underway the 1973-74 academic year,” he said. ECU began offering undergraduate work at the two marine bases ‘ during the late 1950's. Since the beginning of the program, over 19,000 matines have taken collegiate work at Camp Lejeune and over 14,000 at the Cherry Point Marine Corp Air Station. demand for information now beginning to act. Many case Four years ago the Planned Parenthood Federation initiated the College Program to deal with the increasing volume of requests from PP affiliates and colleges across the country. Colleges represented the first wave of youth who were concerned about themselves and their peers. They began organizing and pushing for better fertility- related services, the battleground usually being the college health service and or the administration. However, in four years the changes have been incredible. Whereas colleges used to ask us “why” they should be offering birth control] services, they are now asking “how”. Of course, many PP affiliates and colleges are still experiencing problems in their localities; but this is to be expected.

Th made me house and for him to Flee dorms (CPS)-Although the situation varies widely from campus to campus, students are generally fleeing rsidence halls in unprece- dented large numbers. Since dormitories are built with long-term loans repayable from rent receipts, each empty room further strains financial conditions at a time when many schools are already hurting for money. NO MORE A study by Educational Facilities Laboratories, an agency of the Ford Foundation, has found that until five years ago, students “grumbld about the restrictions of dormitory-living and the institu- tional food, but few did anything more drastic than complain and deface the walls. No more.” Now, the study goea on, “the college handscape if littered” with dormitories that are partly or even entirely empty. Dormitories which are 20 percent empty are now commonplace.” CLEARER IDEA The Association of College and University Housing Officers are surveying 500 schools in order to get a clearer idea of what the student housing picture is. Pre- liminary findings have shown that “despite a little hysteria on the part of some university officials and very few housing administrators, schools are in “real difficulty.” Many schools went on buiilding binges over the last decade, putting up skyscraper dormitories that are being shunned in favor of apartments, rooming houses and mobile homes. With campus operating budgets already strained by lower enroll- ments and higher operating costs, the loss of dormitory income hurts. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says 11 schools currently owe $39 million in HUD loans used to build dormitories that can’t be filled. Colleges and universities have chosen a wide variety of methods to try and bring the students back to the dormitories. The University of Iowa is requiring sophomore, as well as freshmen, to live in the dorms this year. Other schools have been liberalizing their policies in regard to eliminating curfwqs, having coed dorms, permitting drinking when allowed by state law, ete. Many schools that have been successful in keeping their dorms filld have moved away from maintaining the dormitory in an institutional pattern on_ indi- viduality and privacy for the student resident. Mexican safari - It happened one morning about a year ago just as I was on my way FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL.5,NO.1/5 SEPT.1973 Mexican continued) with a friend. The police ran Willie and his friend off the road, jumped out and stuck their rifles through the car windows and up against their heads and pulled them out of the car by their hair. After returning to the police station and having found no drugs in this newly captured car, the questioning began again. Willie would not admit to having any LSD even when they tried to persuade him by burning the skin and flesh on his arms and hands with a cattle prodder. By nine or ten that evening Willie was convinced that he should turn over the LSD since he was told he was going to jail one way or the other. The possee regrouped, went to Willie’s house and picked up the LSD and then went by two other houses taking one Mexican, one American, two kilos of grass and a three foot grass plant into custody. We slept on the floor of the “police station” that night and in the morning Willie’s friend and the other American and Mexican were freed. Willie also told me that morning that he gave the police 600 tablets of LSD but at the station he was booked for 500. Also at one of the houses that was raided the night before the police found some grass and three American women who they didn’t take into custody. Willie confided in me that he witnessed the police rape the women in that house one by one before they left with the grass. At this point the investigation discontinued and three of us still didn’t know what would happen to us. We spent two more days and another night in the police station negotiating for our freedom. By the third day they let us read a newspaper account of our arrest and we became very uneasy when it said we had all be released that day before. That afternoon the “chief” decided that Mike and I would be given seventy-two hours to leave the country and Willie would go to jail for four years. We were taken back to our house, given one hour to pack our things and then put on a bus to Mexico City. Later when I had returned to the States I phoned a friend of Willie’s in Mexico City and found out that he had paid-off the jailor $400 and had been let go. I was advised not to try to re-enter Mexico for eighteen months. In another six months my time will be up and I will return because I really enjoy living there. This trip through I'll have shorter hair and be sure to avoid the hassles the drug use in a foreign country can cause. 9 to the kitchen for my orange juice.

My hands were cuffed behind my back and I was lead into my kitchen where he waved his gun at a half dozen seedlings and yelled “Mar-ri-wana, no? Mar-ri-wana, no?--Si, puta madre.” I stood there babbling nonsense syllables finally waking up to the day and to what was happening. be Back in the living room again he made me lie down and tied my x feet. Then he headed up the stairs and I shouted to my roommate, e who didn’t speak any Spanish, that it was the police and he had a big gun he would use and to move very slowly. Mike, my roommate, was brought downstairs at gunpoint and ties up in a similar manner. The man then told us that we better tell him where all the drugs were in the house and if he found more he would kill us. We immediately pointed out that there were a couple of dozen more seedlings in a bedroom upstairs and he went up to find them. After he was convinved he had found all the drugs in the house he let us get dressed while keeping us covered. Again he cuffed us and brought us and the evidence to the police station in his personal car. The police station was not recognizable as such. It was a storefront in a plain building in the nearby city with no identifying signs, no official vehicles around and no uniformed men in sight. Inside were rooms with desks, bunks and cases of machine guns along the walls. They led us through these to a room with only folding chairs and drab green walls and quesioned us about our friends in the area. It was at this time that we found out that these men, who were all in plain clothes, were a special secret police force of the Mexican federal police. The man who I met at breakfast was known as the “number-two man” next to the “chief” in that state. They wanted to know about a man, an American named Willie, who was supposed to be in town with a lot of LSD. I admitted knowing him and about the drugs so they formed a possee to find him. The possee consisted of about six men armed with pistols and rifles. They used a panel style truck with windows all around and made me come and lie in the rear of the truck. After checking his house and not finding him at home they cruised the streets waiting for him to show up. In about forty-five minutes they found him riding ERLE DRL E'S PLAY FOOTSB WITH THE FRIAR?

Our design, our staff, our size and even our printing equipment have changed, and we hope to operate with greater efficiency and professionalism than in the past. Fountainhead’s staff members have either been well-trained in their positions here, or have experienced the bliss and wonder of campus publications via the Buccaneer and the Rebel. The frustrations of producing printed matter are multivariate and many, and we've all been tempered in the process. Each issue - at least until we settle ourselves - will be an experiment; aside from our obligation to inform, we hope to be as visually pleasing as possible. The bare bones are down - the rough edges are left to trim by experience. We hesitate to mention tov many of our plans; we might fall flat on our collective faces in the future and end up grinding out the same old Fountainhead. However, we plan on giving greater coverage to the arts on campus, more reviews, more mention of outside events. .. generally, more respect for the student as an intelligent being. A thinking world does exist, and we plan to penetrate it. So Fountainhead welcomes you back with optimism, joy and the greatest confidence in both your coming year and ours. Feel free to stop by, suggest or direct comments to the Forum - it’s your paper. Welcome back to ECU, and welcome back to Fountainhead. Nixon:a study By T. COFFIN Nixon, more than Johnson was a symbo! of the times. He wore a mask of public piety. He spoke in the deep, assured tones of the TV commercial. Yet under the mask was an obnormal fear of failure, and fear of enemies whom he must undo before they destroyed him. Bill Moyers wrote in the “Saturday Review” of his “lifelong preoccu- pation with themes of power and control, self-concern, and the coupling of his own inner fears of failure with the need to avert humilitation and defeat for the nation. He has come to regard the presidency in starkly personal terms. . . It is not difficult to believe that a man so intoxicated in his own Another era recaptured The East Carolina University student newspaper, the Fountain- head is under fire from University and Greenville city leaders for its use of ‘four-letter words.’ Last week the Greenville city council passed a_ resolution. ..to write a letter to ECU President Leo Jenkins to protest the publication of language that offended them. The newspaper editor Robert Thonen said Thursday that Jenkins told him...that “the newspaper would cease to publish four-letter words or it would be shut down...” “We try to keep four-letter words to a minumum,” Thonen said. “They have appeared maybe four to five times this year.” Raleigh News and Observer Feb. 12, 1971 A recent order for a trail for $25,000 in damages against ECU President Leo Jenkins has resulted in an appeal to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. ... The damage suit was brought by two former ECU students, Robert Thonen and William Schell. They were suspended by the University Board on May 10, 1971 for printing an allegedly obscene four-letter word in the April 1, 1971 edition of Fountain- head. Fountainhead, April 10, 1972 William Schell had written a letter to Fountainhead, ending with “an allegedly obscene four-letter word” directed to then-President, now-Chancellor Leo Jenkins. Cartoonist Ken Finch followed suit in a cartoon bearing the same alleged obscenity. What followed was to be Fountainhead’s era of infamy, a ‘radical’ brand that never quite wore off, and a continuing court battle. Fountainhead 1970-71 was noted for large, black headlines, remark- able Finch cartoons, strong editorial expression, and a willingness to support student visitation boycotts and clashes with the Publication Board. When the ‘Boycott Green- ville’ banners hung in an attempt to pressure merchants to support co-ed visitation, Fountainhead sported its own banner from the porch of Wright. When the paper was threatened with eviction from its office, determined to show resistence, staffers spent nights living in that office. And when Schell submitted his “allegedly obscene” letter to Fountainhead, editor Thonen printed it. ABSOLUTELY OPEN “Regardless of people’s views expressed in a campus paper,” said Thonen, “my responsibility is to keep, especially the pages of the Forum, absolutely open.” Over two years have passed since the obscenity issue and ECU's single claim to campus unrest. Fountainhead had grown consider- ably more tame in recent years; following Thonen’s suspension as a result of the obscenity dispute, a number of interim editors took over. The next editor formally elected by the Pub Board, was Cathy Johnson. Johnson quit after four months for personal reasons, and Phil Williams served from January 1972 to January 1973, finally resigning in a dispute with the Pub Board. Bo Perkins, Williams’ successor, ushered in a ‘first’-an era of relative conservatism. Thonen had been suspended for printing a letter; giving thjs an ironic twist, Perkins argued witn the Pub Board for his right to edit or withhold letters from publication. The case in point concerned two letters critizing SGA President-elect Bill Bodenhamer, which Perkins judged libelous. NEW STAFF Following Perkins came the interim, summer, newspaper, and this year’s new staff, which has yet to be tested. Yet, for those who have been with Fountainhead for any length of time, this past August’s news brought back a little of the act-first, confusing, some- times questionable but heady past: Richmond, Va.[AP]-Use of a “four-letter vulgarity” in a college publication is not grounds for dismissal of the students respon- sible, a federal appeals court said today. ...The First Amendment, the circuit court said today in agreeing with the lower court, means that no government has the power to restrict expression because of its message, ideas, subject matter or content. Durham Sun, Aug. 7,1973 Richmond, Va. (UPI)-The 4th U.S. Court of Appeals Tuesday upheld a lower court decision ordering East Carolina University to reinstate two students suspended because of an obscene word in a letter to the school paper. The circuit court agreed... that the school had violated the constitutional rights of Robert R. Thonen and William Schell, Jr. Raleigh News and Observer, Aug. 8, 1973 So Fountainhead’s age of overt rebellion began with a bang and ended with mild 4-inch mentions of the back pages of most newspapers. But, then, perhaps the finishing circle indicates a final blessing, permission to stop apologizing for the past on one hand; permission to stop play-acting the radial part on the other. We've come full around and are ready to begin. ego, whose fierce private wars he can now transfer to the canvas on whom he has visited the most devastating aerial warfare in the history of man-all for the stated purpose of maintaining respect for the Office of the President of the United States.” Like many Americans caught in the scramble, Nixon was sometimes on the verge of coming apart. Former Nixon aide Richard J. Whalen wrote (Washington Post, May 6), “Haldeman, as manager of Mr. Nixon's losing bid for the California governorship, has seen him come apart under pressure.” John Osborne, The New Republic correspondent at the White House, said (May 12), “There is a limit to the President’s energies and endurance, a point beyond which he loses adequate command of himself and his circumstances.” A case in point: In the late winter of 1971, Nixon looked out the window of the White House and saw a lone picker with a 10-foot sign across the street in Lafayette Park. John Dean testified, “Mr. Higby called me to his office to tell me of the President's displeasure with the sign in the park and told me that Mr. Haldeman said the sign had to come down. ..I ran into Mr. Dwight Chapin who said he was going to get some ‘thugs’ to remove the man from Lafayette Park.” Nixon seemed to get an almost sensual pleasure from giving hurt to others. A former Cabinet member told Jack Anderson of “watching the President go through the pantomine of plunging an imaginary dagger into an opponent. ‘after you get the knife in, ‘the President said gleefully, ‘you twist it.’ And he twisted his wrist to demonstrate.” EDITOR-IN-CHIEF /Pat Crawford AD MANAGER Perri Morgan NEWS EDITOR /Skip Saunders CIRCULATION MANAGER Mike Edwards ARTIST-Art Shirer TYPIST Alice Leary Thanks to D.
