Fountainhead Expansion called premature EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE N.C./VOL. 5, NO. 5/25 SEPT. 1973 Med officials say ‘no expansion’ By SKIP SAUNDERS News Editor A panel of medical experts have recommended in a report that there be no immediate expansion of the ECU prog: The report however does indicate possible expansion of the one year >rogram in the future. The panel called the proposed expansion at ECU premature” There is general agreement among state legislators that the issue will come before the 1974 General Assembly The study by out of state medical experts was commissioned by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. The medical consultants were inquiring into the possibilities of another degree granting medical Thefts, school by the expansion of ECU's program. Dr. Edwin W. Monroe, vice-chancellor of the medical program at ECU, prepared this statement concerning the consultants’ report: “After all of the dust predictably created by this report has settled, two facts should be crystal clear. The first is that the consultants do not call for any urgent or compelling action to produce more doctors in North Carolina. They recommend no immediate steps to increase the enrollment of North Carolinians in medical schools The second fact is that the people of North Carolina recognize clearly our severe shortage of doctors and want something done about it now. We believe that the people will insure that much more immediate and positive vandalism hit ECU campus SGA robbed By TOM BROWNLEE Staff Writer An estimated one thousand dollars worth of office equipment was stolen from the SGA offices last Wednesday night Included among the articles missing were two electric typewriters one IBM “Selectric” typewriter, and an adding machine “We know very little about it as of yet,” said J.H. Calder of the E.C.U. Campus Police. However, he went on to add, “The offices were broken into using a key.” Jeannie Summerlin, the Executive Secretary of the SGA cgnfirmed this saying, “Yes, we found two keys missing.” “We'll be changing all the locks.” She added, when questioned on preventative measures against further break-ins. The stolen equipment was insured and Miss Summerlin went on to say,+ “As far as | know, the insurance will cover the loss.” However, the serial numbers of the stolen equipment are on file and the SGA has a faint hope to recover the machines if and when an attempt is made to sell them. Other items of comparative value such as a stereo set, various other electrical fixtures, and SGA records were left untouched during the burglary ‘ OOOO: LL Vandals strike By TOM BROWNLEE Staff Writer Two cases of larceny and at least two of vandalism against campus property occurred on the ECU campus last week. An automobile was broken into and an eight track tape player stolen on Sept. 17. The car had been parked near the new art building and left unattended for slightly over four hours. On the same day the Campus Police answered another report of larceny. Two large sections _—_of stainless steel duct were stolen from the second floor of the new Student Union. Their estimated value was between seventy-five and one hundred dollars, constituting grand larceny. Windows were reported broken by vandals in the men’s dormitories on the hill. According to Patrolman D. Tripp of the Campus Police, “Someone had apparently made a cannon from beer cans, and fired wet balls of toilet paper containing pennies to break the windows.” Other instances of dormitory vandalism included missing Public Address speakers. The speakers and housing had been torn from the walls, the speakers themselves removed and the housing discarded. Two students from Greensboro, N.C. were arrested on drunk and disorderly charges. They were detained by the Greenville Police Department until each had posted a one hundred dollar bond, and were released. steps to solve their problems will be taken over.” ECU CHancellor Leo Jenkins and Dean Wallace R. Wooles, of the school of medicine were unavailable for comment. The following is an excerpt from the report made by the medical consultants, consisting of 11 recom mendations. : RECOMMENDATION 3 Specifically, we recommend that the Board of Governors assign to the School of Medicine at UNCCH the direct administrative and operating responsibility for upgrading and maintaining the existing one year medical program at ECU with firm authority over admission and pro- motion of students, selection ana appointment of faculty, redesign of curriculum, and budaeting for operations aS well ad Capnun expenditures We recommend that the size of the class admitted to the ECU program in 1974 be held at 20 students and that the quality and the accreditation status of the program be reviewed again in the latter part of 1974 or early 1975. If progress has been satisfactory, consideration should be given to expanding the entering class in 1975 to 25 or 30 students. If improvement in the program occurs and is sustained and if the development of additional capacity within the state to give clinical education to medical students warrants, it may become feasible and desirable to further expand class size and to aid a second year of medical education to the program.

Stay dry Liquor by the drink, by the bottle, in a basket or in a box is prohibited at athletic contests by State law and will not be permitted at Ficklen Stadium, ECU officials stated last week. With the Pirates opening at home this Saturday night, ECU officials issued a list of items that will not be admitted to the Stadium: 1. Ice chests, coolers or thermoses. 2. Baskets, hampers or boxes. 3. Bottles of any kind or cans. 4. Paper or plastic bags. J.H. Calder, the University’s director of security, said that the prohibition resulted from complaints of fans. The policy was initiated in 1972. North Carolina law (G.S. 18-A-30) prohibits any public display, con- sumption or possession of any alcoholic beverages at athletic contests. In upholding the law, Calder said the ECU policy also “is designed tomake football games more enjoyable and safer for all persons attending Ficklen Stadium.” Democrats The College Democrat’s Club will hold an organizational meeting Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 204 of the Student Union Building.

Applications An Application for Graduation is not a requirement for graduation but it does determine the date a student will graduate. : Applications for undergraduate graduation must be made not later than two and one-half quarters before the completion of the requirements for the degree. Applications for graduate grad- uation must be made not later than one quarter before the completion of the requirements for the degree. All students, graduate and under- graduate, who plan to graduate Fall Quarter, 1973 and who have neglected to make application for graduation, will be given a final opportunity to make application for graduation for the Fall Quarter. This application must be in the Registrar's Office no later than Friday, September 28 REAP social The ECU Student Council for Exceptional Children is sponsoring a picnic-social, Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 7:00 p.m. The social will be held at the Remedial Education Activity Program at the Developmental Evaluation Clinic.

Rhine speaks The ECU School of Medicine begins its Public Lecture Series Thursday night, Sept. 27, with the noted parapsychologist Or. J. B. Rhine of Durham. Dr. Rhine is the founder of the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University and is currently executive director of the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. His lecture, entitled “Para psychology: A New Frontier of Medicine,” is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Allied Health Auditorium. Dr. Rhine is the first speaker in the ECU Med School Lecture Series which begins this year as an effort to give the general public a better understanding of medicine as it relates to physical and mental health. The project is co-sponsored by the Department of Pathology at ECU. Additional speakers scheduled for later in the year are to discuss a wide range of common medical problems including; mental depression, headaches, high blood pressure and heart disease. Dr. Abdullah Fatteh, professor of pathology at ECU, explained that the lectures are designed to bring information on medical topics to the general public. “We believe that one of the important contributions a medical school can make is in the direction of public education,” he said. “That's why we are bringing in experts like Dr. Rhine who can speak on subjects of interest to the public.” Crew tryouts Tryouts for ECU Crew will be held Friday, 28 September by the Town Commons on First Street. The time for tryouts will be 3 p.m. Read fast Speed reading course will be offered on Monday and Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of Scott Hall for any interested students.

FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 5/ 25 SEPT. 1973 3 ee ena Work at your own rate ECU Professors try Keller Plan By PAM SCRUGGS Staff Writer Two ECU professors, Dr. Caroline Ayers and Dr. Floyd E. Mattheis, are participating in a teaching program that should provide an answer to the problem of achievement at the university level. The program, the Keller Plan or Personalized System of Instruction, provides the student with the challenge of individual study and achievement at one’s own rate. This relatively new method of teaching ‘minus formal lectures’ gives the student the opportunity to learn on his own froma prepared text. Help is always available from tutors and professors if the student seeks it. Chemistry 64 taught by Dr. Ayers and Descriptive Astronomy 235 taught by Or. Matteis are the courses presently operating under this system. Dr. Matteis, department chairman of Science Education, said the program was brought to the ECU courses because “we're always looking for ways to improve our teaching and classes.” As with any program of this nature, advantages and difficulties can be easily cited. On the positive side, Dr. Matteis pointed out that a student will learn more on his own than in a classroom lecture situation. The only difficulty has been the obtaining of text material to fit the plan. Since Dr. Keller, the originator of mathematics and psychology, the ECU professors have had to prepare the text themselves. Fortunately for Dr. Mattheis, a summer graduate student, Lee Roger Taylor, Jr., took an interest in the program, and wrote the curriculum for the astronomy course. “Student reaction to the plan is hard to tell at this point since we're just getting started,” Or. Mattheis concluded. But he feels the program “shows much promise.” Chemistry professor Dr. Ayers, stated the program is essentially for two types of students - the unusually well-prepared student and the slow student. the advantage for the talented student is the challenge; the slow student, the change to go at his own rate. The greatest disadvantage for the student, Dr. Ayers noted, is procrastination. In a course that requires a certain number of units completed within a long time span putting off is usually easy, she noted. Dr. Ayers feels a student benefits most from the course by “learning to work on his own. This ability is needed far beyond the university.” The success ot tne plan at ECU remains to be seen. The results will be covered in a later issue of the FOUNTAINHEAD. For background information con- cerning the Keller Plan, refer to the Sept. 13, 1973 issue of FOUNTAIN- DR.

MATTHEIS Council considers non-thesis option By MIKE PARSONS Staff Writer The Political Science Department has announced that a proposal is now before the graduate council to offer a non-thesis ontion for those pursuing a master's degree in political science. According to Dr. H.A.I. Sugg of the department, the proposal allows the student to substitute additional course work for the thesis. He added that such programs have been meeting with some degree of success at several ~~ - DR. HOWARD A. |. SUGG examines the no-thesis MA degree proposal presented before the ECU graduate council. universities around the country. One of the major reasons for such programs is that some students experience great difficulty in producing a paper of the magnitude of a thesis. The additional course work will still require research papers, but their nature will be such that a better estimation of the time required for completion will be possible. Dr. Sugg stated that the lack of a non-thesis option may have been a factor in students’ decisions to attend another university for pursuance of their masters degree. The program that exists at present requires the completion of 39 hours of coursework. The student is then given 6 hours credit for the satisfactory completion of the thesis making a total of 45 hours. As proposed, the non thesis option will require 48 hours of coursework with the same time limit of five years placed on completion. The same basic requirements such as examinations, etc. will also remain the same. For those students who plan to pursue a doctorate, the thesis option will still be recommended. The reason, according to Dr. Sugg , is “to prepare the student for writing the dissertation required of the PhD.” The department hopes tor immediate approval. The proposal must first he approved by the Graduate Council (This may have been done by the time this paper is at press.) It is then presented to the provost, tnen tne chancellor, and ultimately to the President of the N.C. University system, Dr. William C. Friday. Academic Affairs office for students By MIKE PARSONS Staff Writer The Secretary for Academic Affairs is the channel of the SGA _ which students may use to register their views and feelings concerning the academic situation at ECU. Jim Davis, the Secretary for Academic Affairs is a senior with a double major in political science and sociology. Davis is attending ECU on the Army’s two year degree completion program. Originally from High Point, N.C., his family resides in Fayetteville where he is a captain at Fort Bragg. This office has met with success in attaining reforms in procedures and curriculum requirements this year. Students returning to ECU this fall saw the implementation of a new drop policy whereby the student is allowed twenty class days to drop a course! without penalty. It has also been instrumental in obtaining the deletion of the swimming proficiency test from graduation requirements. Another responsibility of the academic affairs office is to nominate candidates for student membership on various committees. The student nominees, after SGA approval, sit with faculty members and participate in making recommendations concerning university policy. Problems have occurred, however, since few students have applied for the positions available. He added that the only requirements were that the student sincerely wanted to participate rather than occupy the seat and do nothing. Some of the committees still open for student membership are the Curriculum Committee, Institutional Survey Committee, and the Calendar Committee. In passing, Davis stated, “this office is the student’s medium for input into the academic affairs of the university.” He added that anyone desiring to offer suggestions should direct their comments to his office which is in room 310 of the Student Union. “Rlgy Ss e oy & 4 ld ] ca 4g W AN EXPRESSION OF stress is shown by this cheerleading hopeful, as JV cheerleader tryouts are held this week.

This is the first degree program in the country that will use film as its basis for study. “That is not a degree in filmmaking,” emphasized Ted Perry, chairman of the department of cinema studies. ‘It is meant we will use the motion pictures--its history, criticism, esthetics--as a means of focusing the realities of life today and to help us learn how to live.” The program “has been designed to permit students to study their world in terms of a major art form,” according to David Oppenheim, dean of the school The basic idea behind this new form of study is that the cinema is a cross section of all the arts and humanities.

Until then, students might rn for lecturers, performers and guest artists by keeping lobby and auditorium QUESTION SANITY As for those who perenially insist on arriving hopelessly late, leaving mindlessly early or arriving without any intention of being there at all: we question the sanity behind any of this. It either implies an inability to make a decision or complete indifference as to where one is. And there has got to be a better place to be stoned in than Wright Auditorium, that isn't even esthetic. HELD CAPTIVE Perhaps a section should be roped off for those who don't intend to remain throughout a lecture or concert; maybe the entire audience should be held captive by a time-lock system on all the doors. We don’t know and can only offer wild suggestions - and hope the new Union facilities will provide for all the problems discussed here. But we do exhort students to think twice before running out of a lecture midway. The Wright podium provides a fine view of the entire auditorium. A lecturer finds it rather disconcerting to speak. . .and simultaneously watch the entire balcony file out the door. Population and subsistence THE NEW REPUBLIC Any reasonable person knows that the world population increase can't continue. Seventy million more people each year. Why, that’s the size of East and West Germany! We shrug and say, “They'll starve in a few years - glad | won't be around.” But suppose you are around. Suppose time has run out. Suppose we are about to see the greatest calamity In the history of mankind FOOD RIOTS It probably depends on_ the weather. The world’s food stock Is sO low, the margin is so thin, that with bad weather 10 to 30 million people may starve in 1974. It has already started in Africa. There are food riots in India. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization called an emergency meeting on grain at Rome last week. Robert McNamara, head of the World Bank pleaded for a moral response from the affluent nations at the annual meeting of the bank at Nairobi, Kenya, this week. You can see one effect at the corner supermarket at home in the price of foods. Prices will fall, in time, but they are never coming back again to “normal.” ‘HAVE’ NATIONS The grab for food in the world , ) protein war comes from two sources, the rise in affluence of the “have” nations, and the rise in population of the “have not” nations. Here's how it works. West Germany, of course, is a “have” nation. Its population has stopped growing at ZPG (Zero Population Growth). But its food consumption is expanding because its affluence permits it to buy more meai - and meat requires more grain, and grain occupies over 70 percent of the world’s crop area. The same thing is true of Japan. Also of Russia; it has land but not enough fresh water. That's why it quietly grabbed a quarter of our grain crop this year. ‘HAVE-NOTS’ For the “have not” countries the choice is to get more food or starve. Their population doubles every 25 years. There are 3.5 billion people on earth, 2 billion people in the “undeveloped” (have-not countries. Enforce laws: By RALPH NADER WASHINGTON--“There’s gold in them thar hills” used to be the expectant cry of the 19th century prospector. Today the inquiring citi- zen-taxpayer could direct the same words towards state and local government which are losing billions of dollars every year in uncollected corporate tax revenues, lost procure- ment savings, and non-interest bearing government accounts. EXISTING LAWS Here is a list of hidden lodes where badly needed revenues could be obtained simply by enforcing existing laws and pursuing prudent government management practices. (1) There is a national scandal in corporate evasion OF underpayment of property taxes. Public Citizen’s tax reform group estimates that local government lose a minimum of $7 billion a year through underassess- ment and evasion, most of which is corporate. Whether it is coal companies in Appalachia, oil and gas firms in Texas, timber and paper companies in Maine, mining companies in the west, and industrial plants and commerical office buildings throughout the country, the message is the same. The big companies pay less while the small homeowners and small businessmen pay more property taxes as a result. LOCAL ASSESSOR Senator Muskie’s subcommittee estimated, for example, that U.S. Steel's Gary, Indiana plant is underassessed by $119 million. The local assessor has been denied information by U.S. Steel about plan value and equipment. More details on property taxes chicanery by companies and mass appraisal firms can be obtained by writing to the Tax Reform Research Group, P.O. Box 14198, Washington, D.C. 20044. (2) Companies who fudge on turning over sales taxes to the state or who evade personal property taxes by moving inventory or equipment out of the state just before tax time are fertile areas for investigation. Presently in Missouri, state authorities are investigating an annual loss of some $100 million in state retail sales taxes which are collected by businesses but not remitted to state revenue offices. Companies operating interstate frequently play off one state against another to escape taxes. The Illinois Insurance Department has ordered eleven insurance companies either to move their real headquarters to Illinois or drop their false “store-front” home offices which are designed to escape premium taxation by other states as well as by Illinois. Commissioner Fred Mauck estimates a $5 million a year tax loss to Illinois unless this practice is stopped. TAX LIABILITY On July 31, 1973 the Itlinois Department of Revenue issued a notice of tax liability in the amount of $45.9 million against the Illinois Bell Telephone Company for the period July 1967 to November 1970. The phone company claims that there should be no tax on receipts from alleged interstate commerce--that is, long 7 blip gt Nader mT Wn ey q ‘i | Ni TN awe) | {Eo toe willl distance calls out of state. This is a frequent accountant’s defense which has been inadequately challenged by understaffed state agencies. (3) Poor management of state and local pension-retirement, operating, and capital funds lose citizens and local government operating funds in non-interest bearing bank accounts. This shocking official irresponsibility means less state revenues which could lead to higher taxes for the people. CAPITAL FUNDS For the huge pension and capital funds the problem is one of under investment. There is utterly too much secrecy surroundging facts which citizens have a right to know. Con- flicts of interest is one reason for secrecy. Until this spring, for in- stance, the Maryland State Treasurer was also the head of a Baltimore bank and a banking industry leader. (4) State and local procurement of services and supplies total nearly $40 billion a year. Mismanagement, cor- ruption, and the frequent absense of competitive bidding cost taxpayers at least a quarter of that sum. For example, more centralized purchasing direct from manufacturers to avoid unnecessary or wholesale markups would promote great savings. The Federal General Services Adminis- tration urged this course of action on the states over three years ago but stopped when the wholesalers’ trade association protested to powerful members of Congress and the White House. (5) State pension and retirement funds invested in common stocks pay a sizable commission to brokers. Connecticut State Treasurer Robert Berdon revolted against this practice last year and obtained, over great opposition by the securities industry, a seat on the PBW exchange to save the state $1 million a year in brokerage fees. Other states (Washington, Cal- ifornia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania) are watching the Connecticut move because they are considering doing the game thing. So before state and local taxes go up on the little taxpayer, citizens should inquire of their state and local officials what they are doing to recover all of these lost revenues.

It's true | see secret intelligence reports, which often contain some fascinating items. Here are a few examples: The latest intelligence reports warn that trouble may flare up along the Chinese-Mongolian border. There is evidence, according to the reports, that the Soviets may be instigating an incident. - Intelligence reports from the Middle East claim that Soviet missile technicians have refused to operate the new antiaircraft missiles that they have installed in Syria. The Soviets reportedly have been ordered to keep out of direct combat. The Syrians, therefore, have gone to Hanoi to recruit North Vietnamese veterans who have had experience operating the Soviet missiles. - Colonel Quaddafi, the Libyan strongman, is preparing a little green book of his sayings, patterned after the little red book of Mao Tsetung’s thoughts. Arrangements have been made to distribute the green book throughout the world. It will teach Islamic socialism, which Qaddafi claims is the middle course between Communism and Capitalism. - Perhaps the most surprising intelligence reports tells of fighting between North Vietnamese troops and Cambodian insurgents in Cambodia. They had been fighting together to overthrow the government of Lon Nol. But just as they appeared to be winning, some units turned their guns on one another in outbreaks over the control of supplies. Oil Plans: A severe winter could leave the nation critically short of heating oils. Shortages could also develop in propant gas and electrical power. The Northwest is particularly vulnerable to a power shortage. The new energy czar, John Love, is already drafting emergen plans which would go into effect in case of a bad winter. He is getting help from both the Interior Departmeni and the Office of Emergency Planning. Their proposals should be ready for final White House approval by mid-October. They will recommend curtailing nonessential activities, such as theatre performances, concerts and sporting events, if the fuel oil shortage gets serious enough. They will also consider closing down schools during extremely cold weather. The lost school days would be added at the end of the academic year when the weather is warmer and the school buildings require less heating. As another fuel saving measure, the temperatures will probably be lowered in federal buildings. A campaign can also be expected to urge all Americans to turn down their thermometers at home and cut down on the use of their automobiles. The emergency measures, or course, will depend upon the weather. CIA Yes Men: The late President Kennedy blamed the Bav of Pigs blunder on the Central Intelligence Agency. He declared afterward that he “wanted to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” When he cooled down, he called in White House advisor Clark Clifford who had drafted the legislation establishing the CIA. As Clifford remembers it, Kennedy said: “Il made some bad decisions on the Bay of Pigs. | made these bad decisions because | had bad information.” Kennedy appointed Clifford to head a civilian advisory board, which recommended a great many reforms. To make sure the President got good information, a board of estimates was established. However, its estimates angered President Nixon and his _ foreign policy-czar, Henry Kissinger. They complained that the board was dominated by doves. My White House sources say Kissinger got so upset that he refused to read the estimates from the CIA. The. new CIA chief, William Colby, is now preparing to abolish the board of estimates. In its place, he intends to choose a dozen experts from the different divisions of the CIA. They |! be known as national intelligence officers. Kissinger, meanwhile, has told the CIA that he wants his intelligence straight without any ideological slant. He also wants to see the minority views. My CIA sources claim this is exactly what the board of estimates was sending the White House. The elimination of the board, they say, is a signal that the White House really wants estimates which always support the President’s policies Condemnation Rip-Offs: One of the most controversial practices of government is condemnation. The government has the power to condemn property supposedly for the public good. But the way it works, owners are often forced to see their property to government agencies or corporations at rockbottom prices. Here are some recent examples: In New York City, an old neighborhood was torn down to make way for a factory expansion. The _ residents, mostly edlerly people who had lived there all their lives, were given token sums for their property. Now they have no homes and no place to go.

And then without warning change into a “pedestrian” - without dismounting. To all of you who ride in the middle of the road but can’t seem to top 15 MPH, | would appreciate it if you could move to the right side of the lane when you see me coming - I'm the one in the black two-door. And to people who like to weave in and out of traffic, especially the blonde long-haired dude on the green ten-speed who almost caused me two wrecks in less than a minute, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits! And while I'm taking your time, it'd be nice if all the bicycles could be seen in the dark - get a light before you get hit. John Palmer People gripe To Fountainhead : | just got back from the mall where Matthew and Peter played to night, and | am very disappointed - not in the artists themselves, but in the people who attended. | sat with some friends, and we were constantly being trampled by people going in and out near the side of the lawn. Also, there was more sound from people carrying on casual conver- sations than there was from the bass player. Maybe you don't care for the particular type of music that was played. Fine! That still doesn't give you any excuse for ruining it for the ones of us who really wanted to hear. You should have picked up your blanket and left -once! Some dude walked around us 4 __ different times. That gets to be aggravating after a while. Maybe next time they can rope off a special area for the people who like to run their mouths, and also for those who can't park themselves in one place for an hour. Sincerely, Susan Mayer Official item? TO: ALL RESIDENCE HALL STUDENTS Because of the fuel shortage and all that crap, we are requiring that all students restrict the use of lighting to the hours between 8:30 p.m. and 8:35 p.m. The use of hot pads is hereby prohibited and any violation will result in automatic castration. Also we figure that you students should be able to get by the duration of the winter using body heat. Any banging on the radiators for the purpose of obtaining more heat will result in automatic decapitation and possible fornication. With your cooperation we feel certain that although you may feel uncom fortable at times... you'll make it! Thank you for your understanding, Dan K.

We wish we could have reproduced it in the original hues, but we have enough trouble being coherent as it is now. ; Dear Whoever writes the Editorials, We (the two of us) feel that the editorial in the Sept. 20th paper, “Where is Everyone?” was directed towards us (Maybe a few others), and because of this we felt obligated to write. We just wanted to re-assure you that there are still some strange people roaming the vast and beautiful ECU Campus, (the two of us for example). In the course of events that we have been involved in, we have left quite a few people standing around wondering about us, the rest knowing we were crazy. Imagine your surprise at seeing two human airplanes flying around a small tree. Or seeing one girl impersonating a herd of buffalo (not ONE buffalo, but a whole HERD). In fact, you might be careful when walking past the back porch or Jarvis Hall or you might get trampled on. One may never know when the herd might be stampeding. While we're at it, we'd like to say “Hello” to a few friends and strangers, namely the Bearded Bicycle, the Serious Bicycle, the Paper Airplane Man, Bicycle Bill, Bicycle Bob, the Cowboy, the Cement Cinder Block Borrower, all the frisbee players on —CU Campus, and Danny.

She called her home a “pretty average’ place where sex was never discussed However she feels that her family was unaverage when it came to ntelligence. “My father was brilliant, almost a genius.” She said her father was scientifically inclined Her mother was a warm emotional person who understood a person's emotional needs From these two elements, sensitivity and intelligence came to my sister and |. Many times the intelligence had to surpass the emotional, " Miss Jrgensen said She grew up knowing she had a problem but not what it was. She knew she was different from the other boys and girls. Books and motion pictures became her ‘friends In World War || she was called to the draft and rejected twice for being under-weight. ‘In a way | was disappointed * she turned her interests to studying photography She continued to be bothered by a strong identity crisis and continued her study of photography hen World Warr | ended she was again called to the draft and became Pfc rae W.

For the first time | was forced to live close to people. | discovered | wasn't the only one with roblems and discovered more about me and not George Jorgensen but some ne else that was to be Christine Jorgensen,” she said After the service, Miss Jorgensen went to Beaumont College in New York for six months. After she left Beaumont College she went back to studying photography. She then went to Yale to study n the library at Yale was a book called THE MALE HORMONE. It was the first one ike that she had ever seen. She discovered that no one is 100 percent male or female. 80 percent is the highest anyone can be of one sex. “\ began to think that perhaps | had been dealing with the wrong thoughts. So | started thinking in terms of bio-chemistry,” Jorgensen explained She then went to a laboratory technician school on the GI bill because she wanted to study more about what she had found. FOR CHRISTINE JORGENSEN tells her story to a curious ECU audience. “She discovered that no one is 100 percent male or female.” OUR CONVEN 810 E. 10th St. NEXT TO POST OFFICE STOP-N-GO FOODS WE SAVE YOU TIME . It was during this time that she first mentioned to a doctor that she had come close to how she felt. He was not shocked and said he had been reading some newspaper articles about doctors doing research in masculinity and feminity in Sweden “On May 1, 1950, | sailed for Sweden with a one way ticket. | didn’t know anyone and | didn’t know what was waiting for me.” she said. When she qot off in Denmark she spoke to her cousin who told her she did not have tc go to Sweden While she had been on the hiah seas a Danish doctor had been doing research in that area. That began almost three years of experimenting. At fisrst all the study was done on urine samples. The doctor then asked Jorgensen if he could do further research. The first operation was performed December of 1951 and the second in December 1952. “I was at no time in any more danger than anyone else undergoing normai ourgery,” she said. The story broke in December of 1952. Miss Jorgensen was furious that the story had been leaked to the press. It was only 15 years later that she found out who the person was that leaked the story. She nad tne choice of staying in Europe after the story had broken. She decided to come home. It had become a very big story in America. Back in America Miss Jorgensen decided to enter show business. ‘'! did it for the money. Little did | know that | started a love affair for life,” she said. In 1967 her biography was released and the movie was released in 1970. ‘I got tired of Christine and now I'm on this lecture circuit,” she explained. Jorgensen said she only took a few hormone injections although she now takes hormone pills. “My body is in pretty much the function of a woman who has had a hysterectomy. It can function but can’t have children. The hormones do change the body configuration,” she explained She has never had a menstrual cycle, ‘In a way I've been lucky,” she laughed. She can experience an orgasm. “My family was surprised when they found out,” she said. ‘'! didn’t tell them why | went to Denmark. It was much more difficult for my father to accept. A father will accept a daughter going male more readily rather than a son going female. My communication with my parents was better after the operations.” She said she had considered marriage twice, but both times for the wrong reasons. “| have been engaged twice and in love twice but not with the same people”, she said. “I don't know if | will marry in the future, | would rather live with him than marry him. | don't think a piece of paper means that much except when having children.” 2905 E. 10th St. NEXT TOHARDEE’S SLANDER interested i ABORTION anesthesia.

If denied permission to drop, the student may appeal the decision to a faculty appeals committee. If permitted to drop, the student must deliver the required forms to the office of the Registrar within three class days. | a | REQUIRE CLARIFICATION INC. 2 blocks from ECU Corner of Jarvis and 3rd Street There are three specific points of the new system which require | some Clarification. The first is that up to the twentieth or tenth day i deadline, whichever is applicable, a student cannot be prevented | from dropping a course. The requirement for discussion with an individual department and the obtaining ot a signature are not at odds with this statement | The student's department must sign the form if the student still wishes to drop a course after consultation The signature is only a means of insuring that the student has in fact been afforded the opportunity of being counseled as to what effect, if any, dropping a certain course will have on his academic plans For example, during the consultation the student may be informed that if he were to drop a particular course tt would prevent him from graduating unt!! the following year due to the course being a required course and that it would not be offered for another year. The signature is also a protection for the different departments in that it provides evidence that a student was counseled = Overton's The second point is that no matter when a student drops course, there will be no penalty under the new system. This means that when you drop you do not obtain a grade; there is no longer, at anytime, a drop with failing or passing *, y Regarding the third point, the new system insures that there will Home of Greenville $ Best be a uniform application of dropping which will be applied by the offices of the Provost, Vice Chancellor of Health Affairs, or Dean of the Division of Cntinuing Education to all ECU students Western Meats Though there will be a unitorm application, requests tor dropping will be reviewed on an individual case by case basis. However, It must be stressed that after the initial probation period has elapsed the “permission to drop will be given only for reasons of clear and compelling necessity.” scan nouiilaniiahuiclnotinuteiaisninil EEE E A rem mid-Janué With defeated | time Wim year old comment: enemy of The & tourname The P four-hand Johnston Montr will spen Harcourt. teams.

With over 50 million Americans watching Thursday night, Ms King defeated Riggs 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. The match again showed the great talent of five time Wimbeldon champion Ms. King, the amazing physical condition of a 55 year old Riggs, and the inept commentary of Rosie Casals.

BASEBALL Dave Johnson, second baseman for the Atlanta Braves, broke Roger Hornsby’s record of most homeruns by a second baseman by hitting number 43 Sept. 17 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in L.A. Far too many statistics are misleading though. Johnson, with one week left in the regular season, has 43 homers, 98 RBI's, is batting .273 with 147 hits and 11 stolen bases. Now compare Hornsby. The year Hornsby hit 42 homers, he had 116 RBI's, batted .376 with 259 hits and 41 stolen bases. Of course Hornsby is in the Hall of Fame and except for this year Johnson’s career hardly warrants the honor.

PIRATES THIS WEEK On Saturday the cross-country team takes part in an invitational meet at Pembroke, N.C. The soccer team encounters UNC at Chapel Hill Wednesday. And the Pirates football team meets their first conference foe in Furman Univ. in Ficklen Stadium Saturday night at 7:30. Pros eye Bucs 1973 VARSITY FOOTBALL Pirates face Paladins Head coach Sonny Randle said repeatedly following the North Carolina State game, “don't write us off.” “Some did,” Randle thinks, “but now look at us. No one ever thought we'd go on the road to places like Mississippi Southern and Southern Illinios and come back a winner. It shows how far we've come and what kind of class team we have.” “It's good to be home and it’s great to come home with a 2-1 record.” Opponents previewing the Pirates through the Spring and Summer expected a running game built around Carlester Crumpler and quarterback Carl Summerell. Well, those who previewed are coming back for another look because the Pirates boast four effective runners—tailback Ken Stray- horn, fullback Don Schink, Crumpler and Summerell. The rushing statistics are virtually: even. Crumpler has gained 213 yards on 39 carries while Strayhorn, who won the starting job following the season’s opener, has picked up 217 yards on 54 totes. Summerell, who rushed only eight times in the first two games combined, carried the football 11 times at Southern Illinois, scored three touchdowns and gained 69 yards. And don't forget Schink, the quiet durable fullback who has 179 yards on 37 carries including 61 at SIU and a game leading 89 at Southern Mississippi. Another outfit wearing purple and gold is doing some rushing of its own. It’s the “Wild Dogs” defense, lead by the tough front four of Cary Goddette, Ken Moore, Joe Tkach and Buddy Lowery and by the linebackers, Danny Kepley, Billy Hibbs, Gary Niklason and Skip Russell. The “Wild Dogs” shut out Southern Mississippi two weeks ago-the first time P.W. Underwood had been shutout in his college career. At SIU, the “Wild Dogs” scored two touchdowns on fumble recoveries in the end zone That unit also produced a Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week last week in Ken Moore The “Wild Dogs” may welcome back a crucial missing link this weekend if linebacker Butch Strawder- man is available to play. Strawderman sprained his knee during two-a-days and has missed the first three games. He has been working out in full gear for two weeks, but is taking his time to make sure the knee heals correctly. Newspaper headlines early in the season bemoaned the loss. of placekicker Ricky McLester. Since McLester left practice, no one has lauded the efforts of placekicker Jim: Woody and frosh punter Jonathan Deming. Woody booted two important field goals at Southern Mississippi, missed by inches from 37 yards away at Southern Illinois and continues to drill extra point boots. Deming, who was thrown into battle at N.C. State with no college experience, has averaged 38 - plus yards per punt including a 65 yard boomer from his own end zone against Southern Mississippi. At SIU last weekend, he punted six times for an average of 37 yards. The Pirate injury lists nothing more than aches and pains following a hard hitting game last week. No one is expected to miss the Furman game, although several players may be slowed. Last week was East Carolina's only exposure to polyturf in 1973. The players had mixed emotions. Most ‘ thought the surface was very fast, allowed harder hitting, but was very irritating to arms and hands. Other players complained of leg cramps from playing on the surface as opposed to >: grass. The majority of complaints con- cerned the hardness of the field. Players said they bounced instead of sliding.

Quarterback Carl Summerell was the scoring hero of the game. He ran for three touchdowns, but unfortu- nately was hit hard on the third one and suffered possible rib damage. Senior linebacker Gary Niklason was voted the “Outstanding Player of the Game” by the SIU Sports Network. The Pirates took the opening kickoff on the Astroturf of McAndrew Stadium and marched down the field for a touchdown. Powerful running up the middie by Kenny Strayhorn and Don Shink through gaping holes opened by the offensive line paved the way. On third and goal to go at the SIU two, Summerell faked a dive and scored on a keeper around left end. Jim Woody's extra point made the score 7-0 with 10:46 left in the first quarter. Southern Illinois took the kickoff but couldn't advance the ball. On fourth and one they lined up in punt formation at their own 30, only to have the center snap the ball over the punters head. After a few crazy bounces, Danny Kepley pounced on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Woody's kick was good, upping the score to 14-0 with 9:10 left. After the insuing kickoff, the Salukis stalled again and were faced with another punting situation at their 26 yard line. Unbelievably the SIU center pulled an instant replay for those who missed it the first time. After another wild scramble, the ball popped into Cary Codette’s grasp for still another touchdown. Woody missed the kick, but with 7:19 still remaining in the first quarter the Pirates were on top 20-0. SIU back Larry Perkins’ took the kickoff and galloped 46 yards to the ECU 41. A personal foul penalty against the Bucs brought the ball down to the 24. The Pirates held, but were offside on the fieldgoal attempt. Fresh man running back Melvin Moncrief took advantage of the opportunity, scoring on a 16 yard blast on the very next play. This cut the Pirate margin to 20-6. ECU lost the ball on the following possession due to a fumble by Strayhorn. But two plays later the Bucs had the ball back as defensive tackle Ken Moore recovered a fumble by SIU's Moncrief. 1973 CROSS-COUNTRY Sept. 29 Pembroke Invitational 10:00 a.m Oct. 6 William & Mary, V.P.I.

On the first play of the second quarter Summerell scored again on the keeper play, and with Woody's conversion the score was 274. The two teams traded punts, with the ECU drive highlighted by the re-appearance of Carlester Crumpler. Crumpler was in for Strayhorn, who had been shaken up momentarily In speaking about these two after the game, coach Randle had this to say: “Kenny had another fine game, and Crumpler is back in form. He played a good game also.” The Salukis then put together a fine drive, highlighted by a 36 yard run by Perkins, and scored with 7:13 left in the half. This cut the Pirate margin to 27-12. After an exchange of punts, Southern Illinois had the ball at their own 23 with 27 seconds left in the half. A 23 yard pass play brought the ball to the SIU 48 with three seconds left. On the final play of the half the Saluki fans celebrated an incredible 52 yard touchdown pass. The Pirates went off the field knowing that it was a whole new bail game, leading by only nine, 27-18. On Southern Illinois’ second possession of the half, they were faced with a fourth and one at the ECU 38. With the Bucs expecting a run they placed ten men on the line. And run the Saluki runner did, finding no one in his path after a burst through the line. The score was now a barnburning 27-25. The character of the Pirate club shonw brightly when they were faced with this crisis, as they moved 65 yards in seven plays on a scoring drive. A Summerell to Benny Gibson pass for 16, a Strayhorn run for 12, and Summerell runs of 18 and 10 for the touchdown highlighted the drive. It was on the touchdown run that Summerell was injured. Reserve Bob Bailey came in and hit Gibson on a pass as the Pirates went for the two-point conversion, upping their lead 35-25 with 6:33 left in the third quarter. On SIU’s second play after the kickoff, ECU defensive back Rusty Markland intercepted a pass and returned it 16 yards to the Saluki 15. On third and two Bailey fired a bullet to Gibson for an eight yard touchdown pass. Woody's conversion with 4:39 left made the margin a more comfortable one 42-25. Bailey, a junior from Bloomingdale, N.J., filled in for Summerell the rest of the way. “He did a fine job for us coming off the bench,” said coach Randle. The fourth quarter was scoreless but exciting nonetheless. Crumpler almost broke away for a_ long touchdown run, finally being caught after weaving and sprinting for 64 yards. Jim Bolding picked off his second pass in as many games, adding a fine 23 yard runback to it. The Pirates picked up 309 yards rushing. Strayhorn has 95, Crumpler 85, Summerell 68, and Shink has 61. Moncrief of Southern Illionis led all carriers with 127 yards. Once again the Bucs had trouble By GUY COX containing the opposition on kickoffs Southern Illinois picked up 194 yards in this fashion The players would like nothing better than to return home to a packed Ficklen Stadium crowd in their home opener Saturday night against the undefeated Furman Paladins, who surprised everyone by shutting out Appalachian State 17-0 earlier this season. And, as coach Randle said after the game: “Nobody in America thought we'd be 2-1 now. It'll be a shame if we don't have a big turnout after the way the players have performed in the first three games.” PIRATE QUARTERBACK CARL SUMMEHELL teaps through Saluki defenders in Saturday night's triumph. Summerell picked up 68 yards rushing in the 42-25 contest. its Py, a) EAST CAROLINA’S SOCCER TEAM will face another tough opponent tomorrow afternoon as they travel to Chapel Hill to battle the University of North Carolina.
