Fountainhead EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, N.C. 27834 VOL. 5, NO. 10/12 OCT. 1973 SGA announces election victors nape a & Students fill the wooden box with ballots on Monday’s SGA legislature elections ‘in Charles E. Meyers, Sr., of Rich Square, N.C. Wednesday presented a $50,000 gift to the ECU Foundation to be used in part to establish scholarships for two students in the School of Medicine at ECU. The intent of the gift is to encourage the recipients of these scholarships to return to the Northampton County area to practice medicine and thereby increase the availability of medical care in the area. Meyers stated, “Physician shortage is a very real problem in my section of the state and this is the most practical means of which | am aware to solve this problem. At the same time, this gift will be helping some aspiring medical students as well as ECU in general. ECU is a dynamic influence in the State of North Carolina and particularly in the eastern section, and this gift is an expression of my confidence in and thanks for what they are doing there.” In accepting this gift Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, ECU Chancellor, stated, “Mr. Myers has certainly shown an important way to many rural communities, needing adequate medical care, on how to take effective action to remedy their medical problem. His generous gift assures the availability of professional medical personnel in an area of the state that might never have it otherwise. It is also a fine example of the, determination of our people of the East to meet their medical care requirements.” the lobby of the CU. Meyers presents $50,000 Med school scholarship , Don Leggett, Director of the ECU Foundation stated: “This is one of the largest gifts ever received by the Foundation and it is gratifying to know that ECU has such loyal and dedicated friends. This gift will be a tremendous boost to the Foundation, the ECU Medical School, and to the University in general.” By MIKE PARSONS Staff Writer Election results for class officers and SGA Legislature have been announced by the elections committee. The votes cost represent a study body ‘enrollment of about 8700 students. Of these, approximately 4000 are day students with the remainder residing in the dormitories. As is apparent from the figures, the turn-out was low. Dorothy McRae, the elections committee chair- man, did not have much to offer on the low turn out other than it was sad there was so little participation. She did add however, that there was some feedback concerning the classifications furnished by the administration. This was neces- sary to provide a basis to distribute the ballots according to the students’ class. The votes were manually counted and tabulated by the elections committee under the supervision of McRae and her co-chairman. McRae wished to thank those who aided in the elections and to thank especially Cathy Connely, Bob Royal, Ellen Blackwell, Susan Humphries and Wade who helped her tabulate results until 12:30 Tuesday morning. The results are as follows: Freshman President Tim McLeon 235 votes Freshman Vice President Mark Walser :253 votes Sophomore President Jimmy Honeycutt 246 votes Sophomore Vice President Sally Freeman 208 votes Junior President D.D.

Student teachers All student teachers must have a Health Certificate on file in the Student Teaching Office prior to reporting to their assigned schools. The University In- firmary provides free examinations for this purpose but only by appointments made in the Student Teaching Office (now located in Room 151, EP Building). Appointments are now being made for Winter quarter student teachers only. Beginning October 15th, appointments will be made for those plannirig to student teach in the Spring. A large enrollment in the spring quarter could make it impossible for the Infirmary to complete physicals for everyone. Therefore, spring quarter student teachers should make appoint- ments as soon as possible after October 15th. Health certificates are available in the Student Teaching Office for ‘those who wish to have them completed by a personal physician. Date tickets Clarence Stasavich, ECU Athletic Director, reminds students that there are Date Tickets available for the football games. These tickets cost $6.00 and enable the ticker-holder to enter the North entrance at the student gate and sit on the north side with the students. Those persons holding general admission tickets must enter through a different gate and sit on the south side of the stands. Several problems have arisen during ECU’s home games where a student and their date would have to enter separate gates and often sit on different sides of the stadium. With date tickets however, a student and his or her date will not encounter such problems. The tickets are available at Minges Ticket Office.

ECU novelist Pierce prepares latest novel By SYDNEY ANN GREEN Staff Writer ECU novelist in residence, Ovid W. Pierce, is having his latest novel, “The Wedding Guest”, published soon. This novel is the only contemporary one Pierce has written and is set in eastern North Carolina in 1970. Pierce said the novel is told from the point of view of a retiring professor at Hertford College in eastern North Carolina. The professor, Curby Wilson, finishes his last spring at the college then moves the “seed” of his novel which is the home of his cousins. Pierce said, “Curby Wilson gets to this section just in time to see the break up of old patterns and to see the disappearance of the old south.” The novel then drops back in Wilson’s mind to his childhood and to a series of recollections about his cousins that bring the novel to the present again. The opening and last phase are contemporary. “You really get a picture in a picture of the contemporary south at a point of imminent change,” Pierce explained. He added that the overall theme is one of urgent changes in the south. One of the major uses of symbolism in the novel is the picture of mobility. “My contention here is that We are in a period of migration that will cause the disappearance of regionalism. We are exposing more people to more places which is causing a neutralization of differences of opinion.” Pierce feels that new mobility, constant pressure of TV, larger schools, and even the army are leveling influences that tend to neutralize and standardize people in relation to identification with a place. election results Continued from page one. 3rd Floor Larry Chesson Randy Corey Steve Kerr 4th Floor Joey Keistler Tom Lockhart Gary Woolard BELK HALL Governor Alan Reimann Lt.

His first was “The Plantation which after 20 years the Chapel Hill Press is bringing out in a new edition in November. Pierce has written a new preface for this edition. “The Plantation” was written when he was teaching English at Tubane University. His second novel, “On A Lonesome Porch” was published shortly after he came back to North Carolina. His third “The Devil’s Half” was published four years ago. “This last book is the longest by far and | think, hopefully, it has more contemporary realism of the world in it but that remains for others to say.” This book more nearly wrote itself. Once | got started the people wrote their own stories. | didn’t have to look far for the characters. The people were the type | could look out my backdoor and see, Pierce said. “The Wedding Guest” was to be published in January '74 but the publication has been delayed until April '74 because the publisher felt that would be a better season than right after Christmas. Pierce has been in eastern Carolina since the late fifties. “| wanted to come back to North Carolina and this was close to home. | lived in Dallas and New Orleans and | had to make up my mind where | wanted to stay. They (ECU) were very kind to me and asked me to come back and live here,” he said. BY GUY COX Ovid W. Pierce, ECU novelist in residence whose new novel, “The Wedding Guest”, will soon be published. N.C. student legislature represents 110,000 students Editor's Note: The following article was written by Harry Stubbs, ECU delegation chairman for the North. Carolina Student Legislature. The North Carolina Student Legis- lature is the official representative body for 110,000 undergraduate students in the state. It represents two and four year state supported and private universitites and colleges; plus several technical schools and community colleges. NCSL has currently _ thirty-five chartered institutions, East Carolina being one of the original members. This year will be the thirty-seventh annual session and the North Carolina Legislature is the oldest continuous assembly of its type in existance. Participants in the Student Legislature have written and supported legislation, which at the time, was considered radical; however approximately forty percent of the legislation passed has been enacted into law by the General Assembly of North Carolina. Since 1972 a special committee, the Legislative Liaison Committee, has been .n existance and has succeeded in getting about sixty percent of the bills passed by the annual session placed into the North Carolina General Statutes. This fact alone is testimony to the potential and actual power of this organization. Future plans include taking a more active role in the affairs of the state and working toward total membership of all institutions of higher learning throughout North Carolina. Anyone who has political aspirations in North Carolina or desires expertise in the art of bill writing and presenting should actively attempt to join the delegation at ECU. The delegation at East Carolina is the finest in the state. It contains within its membership more committee chairmen and important members than any other delegation within the organization. John Prevette, a transfer from Wayne Community College, is chairman of the Legislative Liaison Committee. Harry Stubbs if chairman of the Membership Committee; Maurice Huntley is chairman of the Social Concerns Committee, and Curtis Frye is the NCSL Governor's Special Advisor for Black Affairs. On committees, at the present time, are: Sally Freeman on the Legislative Liaison Committee; D.D. Dixon on the Publicity Committee; and Cindy Mc- Collum on the Constitution Committee. Thus East Carolina is well represented, but aS new members are screened and become a part of this year's delegation, they too will become active committee members. East Carolina also leads other delegations in the NCSL organization with its unique structure. Harry Stubbs is chairman of the ECU delegation; Brenda Sanders is vice-chairman; Freida Clark is the liaison with the SGA _ Executive Council; and D.D. Dixon is publicity secretary. This is a vast improvement over other structures and provides for greater diversity within the delegation, thus allowing more time for researching of bills and rap sessions designed to help new members and old alike to get to know each other better. All people mentioned in this article are willing to answer and channel inquiries from those who think they may wish to join the East Carolina delegation for the upcoming year. The next meeting is scheduled for October 15 at 8:00 in Wright Annex, room 206. All those interested are urged to attend. There is room for you.

Reep began a search for a location for an art gallery on campus shortly after he came to ECU three years ago. His first request to have the gallery in the entrance hall of Wright building was denied. Dr. William Holly, another professor of art, suggested that Reep request that the main hall of Whichard building be the permanent site of the gallery. The request was made and approved by Dr. Wellington Gray, dean of the art department and Chancellor Leo Jenkins. A committee was formed to make formal plans to change the dark walls of Whichard into an art gallery by four art professors, Dr. Holly, Melvin Stanforth, Norman Keller and Reep, who became chairman of the exhibition program for the gallery. Dean Gray asked the State Board of Higher Education to approve the naming of the gallery in memory of Kate Lewis, the first art teacher at ECTC. The name was approved and the Kate Lewis Art Gallery opened in April 1972. The programs at the gallery consist of invited shows such as the ECU art students annual show in May, an ECU faculty annual show, travelling segments of the N.C. Art Museum Show, and special nation-wide travelling art shows. Reep explained that the gallery's shows include all types of art, such as, crafts, ceramics, sculptures, prints, weaving, jewelry and all sorts. of “creations”. The Kate Lewis Art Gallery is unique in that it is supervised by a full-time professor rather than a paid director and it has no means of security. Phone 756-4727 OL’MINER SPECIAL! Pizza.. Any kind for half price “This gallery isn't tne tinest, but it’s the best we can do under the circumstances and even though the new Art School will have its own splendid gallery, it is hoped at the present that the Kate Lewis Gallery will remain as a continued exhibition showplace,” Reep said.

The long forgotten limb, once teased by the mini skirt is back. After a long hiatus in pants, dresses are back to expose the leg. Dresses have returned with a feeling of nostalgia - a feeling of the 40's. Soft jersey dresses in a variety of florals and prints, that define body contours and fall somewhere around the knee, are good examples of the nostalgic look. Also look for sweetheart necklines, soft pin tucks and gathers. The suited look is another comer for fall. Top a flippy circle skirt with a longer length, waist fitted jacket.

Among other accomplishments Mr. Haley is a free lance writer, has been the head interviewer for Playboy Magazine, and the main person responsible for the publication of the book THE AUTOBIO- GRAPHY OF MALCOLM X As a child Mr. Haley lived with his maternal grandmother in a small town in Tennessee. The stories told on his front porch by his grandmother and other elderly ladies of an African descendent were to launch him on his life’s quest. They spoke of a man they simply referred to as “the African” and his defiance of Anglican slave ownership by retaining his tribal name and language. In one of the stories told by the ladies “the African” had been caught by a professional slave catcher during an escape attempt. The slavecatchermade an exemplary model of him by cutting off one of his feet. This made him of relatively small trade value and he remained for the rest of his life on the same plantation. Due to the constant trading in slaves, especially adult males, children born to slaves very seldom knew who their father was. It was this tragic event involving the slave catcher that made Mr. Haley's success in his search possible. The family tree could definitely be estab- lished, and the fact that the children knew their father and grandfather was one they had related through generations with particular pride. Speaking of his grand- BY GUY COX Alex Haley, author and lecturer spoke Monday night as part of the ECU Lecture Series. mother Haley said, “This story was by all odds the most precious thing in her life.” After completing a career in the Coast Guard and beginning on his second career as a writer, Haley began to trace his family tree in earnest. He has learned that the man called “the African” had been taken slave in Gambia, and on impulse he went to Africa and outfitted a safari to trace this man, whom he learned was named Kunta Kinte. It was in the African bush that he discovered the defiance his ancestor has shown a clan tradition. A member of each tribe was assigned the sole task of memorizing that tribe’s history. It was this man in his clan’s lineage “that brought the search round full circle” Haley concluded. Haley described with emotion his experiences in Africa. Later, ina question and answer period he told part of the long story of his dealings with Malcolm X in compiling the autobiography. “We spent around four nights a week, from 9:30 until two in the morning frequently for months in interviewing for the book,” said Haley. Haley spoke of Malcolm’s resistance to intimacy in the interviews until one cold night “when for no reason as he was leaving | asked him, Malcolm, tell me something about your mother. He (Malcolm) paced the floor until dawn broke, just spilling everything to me. | had found what psychiatrist call the trigger question.” Haley further ela borated, “We were on the most intimate terms afterwards.” Haley also spoke of the tragic end to Malcolm's story.” He prophesized that he wouid not live to see his book in print, and spent three days reading the manuscript in a Hilton motel room, he was shot two weeks later.

Joining them were playwright Arthur Miller; James Laughlin, publisher of New Directions press; Robert Strauss, publisher of Farrar, Straus, and Giroux; Joan Baez; and Stanford Professors John Felstiner, and Jean Franco. Felstiner, who organized the group, said, “Many of Chile's most prominent poets, novelists, journalists, and folk- singers were outspoken supporters of Allende’s experiment in democratic socialism.

It was June 1970 when | drove up to Rochester to attend a commercial arranging course. We were required to write an arrangement per week and we could score it for any Instruments we wanted. Chuck was there that summer assisting abit with the lab band which performed our weekly charts. Gerry Niewoou who had just been discharged from the service was playing lead alto in the band. Some of my fellow Students couldn't stop talking about “this concert Chuck had done” the month earlier with the Rochester Philharmonic in assistance. Well, it wasn’t until my rturn home to Virginia when my curiosity got the best of me and | bought a double album, Friends and Love. After a listen, | knew exactly what my classmates were talking about. Its harmonic and_ instrumental variety, its non-commercialism and its skillfully crafted charts along with a few super soloists made me an_ instant believer. Friends and Love could only be topped by Together, another live performance using the same type of format, i.e. the Rochester Philharmonic along with jazz and folk styles. Different this time however is Mr. Mangione’s successful attempt at Godspell. Outstanding is “Freddie's Walking”. | DARE ANYONE TO ’'m A Stranger Too - Chris Smither Chris Smither is a genuine genius on the acoustic guitar, and as such, is hard style-wise. Many artistic to classify genuises transcend ordinary categories. If forced to place him in one category, the best choice would probably be southern rag-time guitar. Smither is vaguely comparable to Lightning Hopkins, although he is infinetly more talented and inventive in what he does. Smither is one of those rare musicians who can instill in their music and lyrics all that they were at the time of writing. His music is highly emotional. This can best be seen in such songs as ‘Homunculus’ and ‘Song for Susan’.

This album contains two very fine examples of this in the songs ‘| am a Child’ and ‘Old Kentucky Home (Turpentiné and Dandelion Wine)’ by Neil Young and Randy Newman respectively. Possibly the only drawback of this record is the fact that Smither is backed by other musicians (electric guitar, drums, etc.) | am not saying that these musicians are not capable, they are excellent, but their mere presence blots out some of the intricacies of Smithers music.

Miss Satterfield comes off with the power of Linda Hopkins and lyricism of Roberta Flack. Listing most of the superlatives in the English language would come close to describing Gerry Niewood's musicianship. Listening to his fluid melodic style is a real treat. He makes the soprano sax with all of its intonation problems appear as ° the worlds simplist instrument to play. His phrasings are beautiful, his range is amazing and his intonation is never more than a cent off. Luckily, Mangione gives Gerry plenty of room to stretch out and make a statement. Chuch Mangione is currently doing clubs and concerts with Gerry Niewood, a fine bassist and drummer. His beautiful tunes are as effectively done by the quartet as they are by the orchestra, and there’s no holding back Niewood.

On the evening of Thursday, October 4, a rare and wondrous event in the history of East Carolina’s theatrical presentations took place. Godspell, a musical based upon the gospel according to St. Matthew, was presented by a troupe of young actors to a ful! house in Wright Auditorium. Whatever the expectations of that widely varied audience were, whether they were looking for good music or avante-garde staging effects or the story of Christ itself, they were exceeded by a production of extremely high caliber. Godspell, an archaic spelling of the word gospel, is a musical account of the life of Jesus Christ -- his philosophies and deeds. It is not, however, merely an historical version of those events which we have come to know so well, such as the teachings in the temple, the last supper or the crucifixion. On the contrary, it uses these events as a kind of framework on which to hand the complex and beautiful tapestry that was the tenets of early Christianity. The basic ideas and attitudes of Christ are familiar to anyone who has ever read the Bible, been to Sunday school, or heard of “The Golden Rule”, but to have them presented in a very contemporary manner and set to music, no less, makes them seem less like old platitudes and more like ideas that you or the person sitting next to you might have. This is Godspell’s forte--the feeling of identification with its ideas that is instilled in the audience. This capturing of the audience’s heart was accomplished in several ways by Stephen Schwartz, the author, and the JESUS AND JUDAS do a soft shoe across the stage.

The dialogue in Godspell was so fast-paced, poignant, and filled with contemporary allusions that one got the feeling the author had finished writing the script only hours before the curtain went up. Although laced with quotations from the Bible, the dialogue contained enough humor and limitations of famous comic figures (W.C. Fields and Mae West, for example) to make the whole thing seem like a comedy at times. This was truly a remarkable effect, considering the subject matter of Godspell, but even more extraordinary was the ability of the cast to give what appeared to be a free-wheeling, ad-lib performance that carried off such diverse effects as somber dramas, vaudevillian antics, and scenarios right out of Firesign Theatre with equal skill. This ability to appear perfectly spontaneous and wild to an audience while never breaking stride in the sequence of events is a mark of truly good acting and is only rarely found in amateur productions. Of equal quality were the music and lyrics in Godspell. Accompanied by a small, but well-coordinated, off-stage § band, the cast sang its way through some § of the most hauntingly beautiful songs this reviewer has ever heard and displayed some harmonies the likes of which are not to be easily found in the world of § contemporary music. What was really a job to behold, however, was the heartfelt, joyous rendition of these numbers that lent a true “gospel” flavor to the ', proceedings. om presentation of a philosophy of life. Through song and words, Christ's teaches those around him about life and love and peaceful coexistence. These are logical and highly applicable ideas, if one takes the time to listen and consider them objectively, and the spontaneity and simple, yet deep beauty of every part of Godspell brings this home to the audience in a way that is rivaled only by the temple scenes in Kung Fu.

It has been the vogue in recent, “avante-garde” productions for the cast to go out into the audience and attempt to get the people involved in the play. In the case of Godspell, the case merely sat on the stage and the audience came to them! Not just some of the people, but virtually . All of them came up to the stage to receive a small drink and a kind word or smile. This is ample proof that Godspell’s message was getting across.
