Environmentalists vs. Industrialists

Environmentalists were told Thursday
that differences between themselves and
industrialists and developers can and
should be resolved.

“There should be some middle ground
of accommodations and understanding
between these clashing groups,” Dr. Leo
Jenkins, Chancellor of ECU, told a
meeting of the Southeastern Institute of
Environmental Sciences at the Research
Triangle Park.

He said that space and opportunity
must be made available for people to grow
and work. But he added that efforts to
conserve natural resources should be
doubled to prevent the pollution of the
soil, water, and air.

Jenkins called on higher education
along with the government and private
enterprise “to come forth with expert
planning and conservation, with prudent
utilization, and professional guidance...
that will enable us to grow within
long-ranged patternss that do not harm
the environment.”

Referring to education's role in

Two million fish die; local

monitoring the environment, Jenkins said
that the public tends to place the
responsibility for solving the problems of
man in the hands of the educational
institutions, beginning with kindergarten.

“We have been expected to collect
lunch money, teach manners and
citizenship and to assure chastity in an
adolescent group which is constantly
bombarded by references to sexuality in
advertisement, movies, books and every
other form of communication,” he said.

“But if something goes wrong,” he
said, “we get the blame.”

Educators, Jenkins said, should not
shun the job of monitoring the
environment, because Twentieth Century
educational institutions must be a part of
society.

“They must grapple with the problems
of society and lead the effort to solve
these problems,” he said.

“We should approach the problem of
the environment with some humility and
with a willingness to do out best,”
Jenkins said.

concem for Tar River

By JIM DODSON
Staff Writer

An article in the October 9th Edition
of the Raleigh News and Observer,
reported that an estimated two million
fish were killed recently in the Tar River
just below Greenville. The fish, of the
small Mehanden variety ranging from
three to five inches in length, were
reportedly discovered on Friday the 5th
and reported to the regional State Office
of Water and Air Resources in Greenville.

Department spokesmen declined of-
forcing one specific cause for the kill,
pending preliminary investigations. They
did however, suggest that the dissolved
oxygen level content was at a low enough
level to kill the fish, and may have
possible been one of the primary
contributing factors in the incident. Dar-
win Coburn, chief of Water Quality
Division also concluded that the
department is considering low stream
flow and discharges into the river as
possible causes.

“If the flow becomes too low,” Coburn
said, “streams can no longer absorb the
waste put into them, and therefore
precipitates the possibility for a fish kill.”

Roy Beck, District Conservationist at
the Soil and Water Agency for Pitt County
recently discussed some of the aspects
and conditions that may occur in streams
and rivers that can create fish kills. Mr.
Beck stated that there are various types of
fish kills that are the results of any
number of circumstances ranging from
natural to man-induced.

Beck cited oil spills, shallow stream
bedding, removal of alge plants from
ponds, accumulation of sediment in
“black-water’ streams, and lack of

required oxygen levels as examples that
can create unfavorable conditions in the
water. Beck also said statistics show that
fish kills do take place more frequently in
unchannelized streams, in the coastal
plain.

“We have what are known as ‘point
sources’, or man induced circumstances,
that are primarily introduced into the
streams in the form of waste
disposal. Secondly there are what is
known as ‘non-point sources’ which are
composed of organic and agricultural
material that flow into the streams and
rivers...” Beck said.

“We have always had fish kills, they
certainly are not new to this area. | think
that the natural fish kills have been here a
long time, its just that we never noticed
them until now. We're just now observing
them and making a fuss over them. ..!
think that a big issue has been made over
these fish kills far beyong their
significance. The reproductive capacity of
fish is so great that it doesn’t take long
for a fish population to bounce back after
akill...as long as we are planning to live
at present or higher economic levels, we
are going to have to give up some of the
natural conditions of our environment,”
Beck added.

Dr. Richard Stephenson of the
Geography Department at East Carolina in
discussing the problem offered some
insight into the “how and whys” of fish
kills. Dr. Stephenson concluded that
there are various explanations for the kills
but cited two major contributing
factors: first, the decrease of oxygen
content in the water, which can be caused
by many factors including heat or what is
known as “thermal” pollution in which
case streams become stagnant and

cannot properly aerate themselves. Var-
ious materials may also help dissolve
existing oxygen contents by what is
known as “suspended sediment load”
which may occur naturally, yet with low
water conditions, these same materials
may endanger the delicate balance of life
in the stream.

Secondly, Stephenson concluded that
most potentially dangerous conditions
that occur, are man induced. He said,
“the natural system of purification that a
stream has is often upset by a sudden
imput of chemicals or other materials that
are too great for the stream to naturally
cope with.”

In this respect he added that water
treatment facilities occasionally cannot
accurately judge the entire complexion of
the stream or river in which they dispose
of waste. There also exist the possibility
of accidental disposal of insufficiently
treated materials.

Dr. Charles O'Rear of the ECU Biology
Department who works with the Air and
Water Resources Agency on an applied
basis and does additional basic research

of environmental conditons of a general
nature, commented on the recent fish kills
around the state and cited two basic
objectives that need to be realized. First
on the list of priorities, is the need for
environmentalists to obtain sufficient
information about the particular system
under observation. Secondly O’Rear cited
the need for public concern and increased
involvement in the area of environmental
protection. With regard to public
involvement, he said, “Up until very
recently it has been a limited minority
who have been thankfully vocal enough to
get the message across to the public and
have provided motivation and funds along
with pressure on vaious agencies in the
goverment. Again people—getting people
involved is the problem.”

Dr. O’Rear also added, “The largest,
and perhaps most pressing problem is hat
the state agencies and to a certain extent
the Environmental Protection Agency, are
all ‘crisis-oriented’, that is, geared to
confront the problems as they arise,
rather than before they occur. The lack of
money, and personnel is probably most

Jenkins: ‘time
for the ACC’

By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer

Dr. Leo Jenkins told the Board of
Trustees Tuesday that he feels ECU
should switch its athletic affiliation from
the Southern Conference to the Atlantic
Coast Conference.

Althought there was no action taken at
the meeting Jenkins said that he had been
discussing plans with presidents of ACC
schools for at least five years.

The following reasons were given by
Jenkins for the adaption of ECU into the
ACC: (1) ECU is already playing ACC
teams (2) ECU is the third largest school
in North Carolina and deserves a chance
to play with the big league teams and (3)
ECU can attract the crowds. He stated
that the ECU game against N.C. State
drew a record crowd of 46,500, the largest
ever to attend a State game.

Preparation for being adapted into the
ACC were listed as follows: (1) We need
to continue contacts with ACCteams, (2)
We need to find ouut our preference as an
ACC adapted team as compared to other
schools and (3) We need to increase the
size of Ficklen Stadium from a seating
capacity of 20,000 to 30,000. Jenkins
suggested that funds for this come from
donations of N.C. citizens since the first
half of the original appropriations for the
stadium came from citizens of Greenville
and the second half of the original fund
was attained through a bond issue, and
(4) We need to install backs on the seats
in Minges.

When asked of his opinion of ECU's
chances to be adapted as a member of the
ACC Jenkins said that he feels the
chances are favorable, but not

predictable. “ECU is as ready as it will
ever be to begin preparations for the
adpatation,” he added.

 

Fish kill

responsible for this. Fortunately things
are beginning to swing the other way—but
the swing is only beginning.”

Fish kills are certainly not just a
regional problem. They have been
confronting business and environmental
leaders on an ever increasing basis
throughout the country. In North Carolina
alone this past week there have been
several reports of fish kills including
some in the Yadkin River, Afton Creek in
Cabarrus County, and Idol’s Dam area
near Winston-Salem.

The problem is applicable on a
national scale, yet confronts every person
in our community, as it is concerned with
the balance of nature, which in turn
directly affects the lives of us all. It is
therefore important that each of us
becomes more environmentally aware of

circumstances around us in order to-

insure that future generations have the
opportunity to share and appreciate that

Although there aren't many recycling
processes going on in Greenville, interest
is growing and there are several plans in
the making.

The Eastern Carolina Sheltered
Workshop has recycling processes for
paper and metal. Doug Bonds, assistant
director, explained _ that Sheltered
Workshop collects corrugated paper
boxes from industries, flatens the boxes
and stores the corrugated paper in a
trailer. The paper is then sold to a vendor
who ba.'s it and in retum sells it toa
paper company in Virginia.

At the present time the Sheltered
Workshop is only getting corrugated from
Abbott Industries in Rocky Mount, Empire
Brush Company in Greenville and a large
amount from what the Sheltered
Workshop has used themselves.

“We are still speculating, but we're
hoping we'll be able to take care of all the
corrugated paper for industries in
Greenville and eventually for all of Pitt

County. We are still in negotiating and
planning stages,” Bonds said.

He explained that corrugated paper is
in large demand. “The industires are full
ot if. The vendor drops off a trailer and
when it is full we call him up and he
comes and picks it up and drops off
another empty trailer. We hope we can fill
it (the trailer) up every other day in the
future.”

The second recycling process is the
reprocessing of metals by smeitering.
“Right now the only company we're
working with is Burroughs-Wellcome.
They have a fair amount of tin
aluminum, lead and copper in excess in
the form of metal tubes,” Bonds said.

Burroughs-Wellcome brings the metal
to the Sheltered Workshop where it is
smeltered in a kiln. Burroughs-Wellcome
donated a $800-1300 kiln to the Sheltered

Workshop.
“We're melting the metal down into

block form and giving it back to the
industries. They sell it to a vendor in New
York. We're hoping in the future more
industries will come to us with their

metals,” he commented.

Bonds explained that paper and metal
fill 50-60 percent of landfills. If eliminated
those two products our landfills would
last much longer than they have and that
would really help the city. It’s a shame to
put metals in the ground that can be used
again.

Those are the only two recycling
processes that the Sheltered Workshop
uses. Bonds explained that since the
Sheltered Workshop is a nor-profit
organization it can’t afford to do any thing
that may cause it to lose money and it is
costly to have people driving the trucks.

The Greenville League of Women
Voters is investigating recycling in
Greenville. Edith Webber, chairperson of
the Environmental Quality Committee,
explained that at this point the league is
mainly concentrating on the use of
recycled materials.

The League is sending pamphlets to
the big users of paper urging them to use
recycled paper. “When there is a good

Pipeline ‘threatens’ wilderness

By TOM BROWNLEE
Staff Writer

A few years back TAPS (Trans Alaskan
Pipeline System) had developed plans to
construct an oil pipeline originating in the
north at Prudhoe Bay and to continue
south on a line that would almost divide
the state into two equal parts. The pipe
was to be some 800 miles long and four
feet in diameter.

Environmentalists and conservation-
ists saw this as na immediate threat to a
vast wildemess area. Perhaps their main
argument. against the construction was
that the pipeline is what's termed a “hot
oil” line. The oil flowing through it must
maintain a high temperature to maintain
it’s free flow. This, combined with the
fact that over 217 miles of the line were
scheduled to be buried underground
constituted _ inevitable environmental
tragedy. The ground over which the line
was to be laid consists of “perma frost”,
frozen soil. The heat generated by the
line cuases the soil to melt, shift and
ultimately breakages in the line were
inevitable. Since the annual migrations of
game animals (most notably over half
million caribou) must cross the path of
the line an oil spillage under these
conditions would be of a much greater
consequence upon the environment than
the much-publicized oceanic oil spills.

In 1969 the Environmental Defense
Fund raised the necessary capital to place
a court injunction against the construct-
ion of the pipeline. Unfortunately the
injunction has run out, and the
intervening time span has permitted the
oil firms to prepare for what seems
inevitable construction and development

of the area.

In anticipation of the date the court
injunction would run out, oil firms have
long since begun siesmic exploration.
They have had oil tankers brought in,
prepared the building of roads and
airstrips, formulated plans for other
pipelines, and even construction of a

railway system.

Citizens of Alaska, environmentalists
and conservationists are again on the
defense. An increased alarm has come
about for in addition to the danger
presented by the pipeline, the dangers of
development on the whole are becoming
apparent. Proposals have been made to
preserve some of the endangered area be
designating it a wilderness area, making it
immune to man’s onslaughts. On the
whole these proposals have met with
overwhelming favor. Those opposed
include of course, the oil firms involved,
mining companies, chambers of com
merce, and most alarmingly, the State of
Alaska. They all consider the potential of
the land too great to be exploited.

With geographic exploration comes
helicopers, yet another danger to game
populations. Citizens, sportsmen and
photographers have noted the adverse
effect the mere presence of helicopters
has on the game. Nothing seems to scare
them more, and in the case of wild Dall
Sheep it may and can upset their eating,
sleeping and mating habits.

As an attempt to “keep the peace”
with conservationists, oil firms have hired

environmental specialists into advisory
positions to consult on construction
procedures. However this is not true of
all firms involved and a mass
propanganda effort is under way. This is
primarily aimed at the conservationists
and some of the propaganda is definitely
defamatory. Without the necessary funds
and political backing, conservationists
cannot retaliate, and are gamely fighting a
losing battle.

To residents of “the lower 48” this
battle being waged seems remote. Most
have never heard of such places as the
Brooks Range, and care little for its
future. However remote, the vast
unsettled state of Alaska is the only true
unspoiled wilderness left in America. It is
as if we have approached within a few
miles of the dead end of a road. If the
development is carried out that end will
be reached, and the hand of man will have
touched everything. Sadly, it has spoiled
completely or in part everything it has
touched. This can be no better said than
is put forth in an advertisement for the
Sierra Club, “Now, especially now, if we
will only stop to think, perhaps we will
think to stop.”

The ‘private government’

 

Oil:'the lifeblood of the world’s economy’

This is the first part of a two part
series conceming the oil crisis. Part two
will be in Thursday’s issue.

By ALAN MILLER

(CPS/PNS)--If it had been a “soybean
crisis” few would have cared. But oil is
the lifeblood of the world’s economy. By
any standards, it is also the world’s
greatest industry, and the first commodity
of international trade. In the U.S.,
headquarters of five of the Big Seven oil
(Exxon, Texaco, Mobil, Gulf and Standard
of California), 50 percent of all
transportation facilities are devoted to the
handling of petroleum and natural gas
shipments. And fully 25 percent of all
non-Federal land in the continental US is
owned or leased by these firms.

If the yearly sales and assets of the
Big Five oil companies in the U.S. were
put together, it would exceed the Gross
National Product of all but four countries
in the world. Little wonder, then, that this
concentration of power and wealth has
long forced politicians and statesmen to
defer in awe to the “private government”

of oil.

The current energy “crisis” and
growing consumer concern over fuel
supplies are only the tip of the world’s
biggest industrial iceberg. Behind public
pronouncements and statistics are the
profit expectations of the oil companies.
“Sudden shortages” and _ increasing
prices, limited fossil fuel reserves and oil
import policies are the econimic and
foreign policy aspects of a crisis set in
motion by the “private government” of
international oil.

Who's to Blame? Who's to Pay?

The energy crisis so much on the mind
of the American public is a compound of
three factors. First, the unwillingness of
government and industry to allow the
necessary importation of foreign crude oil
to the U.S. Second, the programming of
the refinery system to produce the most
profitable fuel oil products. Last, the
increasing use of energy, by both the
industrial and private sectors; this has
now reached the point where energy use
in the United States doubles every ten

years.

Until very recently, there has been an
oversupply of both petroleum and natural
gas-our two primary souces of
energy-within the U.S. Only recently
have the daily ‘“allowables” on domestic
oil wells increased to more than a few
hours per day. The Texas Railroad
Commission, controlling production
quotas in the big Texas fields, has just
expanded production schedules to a point
where the average oil field in that state is
now allowed to run at 76 percent of

capacity.

During the past decade there have
been signigicant cutbacks in both
exploration and exploitation of new
domestic oil fields, since supplies have
been considered more than adequate by
both industry and government. Now, the
public statements of oil Companies are
suddenly lamenting the fact that few new
refineries have been completed in recent

years. They blame the “obstructionist”
tactics of the environmentalists—a group
which has been derided by Mr. Fred
Hartley, President of Union Oil Company,
as a bunch of “nutwits”.

But refinery construction has been
limited because new refineries have not
been needed; refinery production has
rarely ever approached capacity. John A.
Busterad, a member of President Nixon
Council on Environmental Quality, said
recently, “The oil industry would have a
better case for crying ‘crisis’ if its
refineries had been operating at full
capacity last year instead of 85 percent.”

Had domestic oil supplies in fact beer
adequate, the industry could have easily
convinced the Federal government to
remove the restrictions on the importation
of foreign oil. It was, after all, able to
convince President Eisenhower to impose
oil import quotas in 1959. But foreign oil
has always been cheaper than domestic
oil, and increased imports would undercut
the artificially high prices commanded by
domestically drilled petroleum.

Senator Phillip A. Hart, (D-Michigan)
noted, in Congressional testimony, that
this industry-imposed restriction on
cheap foreign oil added an additional $7
billion per year to the American
consumers petroleum bill. Even Presi-
dent Nixon’s Cabinet Task Force on Oil
Import Control estimated that extra profits
to the oil companies due to import quotas
amounted to $5 billion in 1970 alone.

The recent move by the Nixon
administration to do away with the old
import quota system simple perpetuates
the government and industry policy of
making the American people pay as much
as the traffic will bear for petroleum
products. Far from abolishing quotas, the
new system provides for a double set of
import tariffs quaranteed to make most
imported oil mor costly than domestic oil.

In the US, prices of petroleum
products have risen dramatically in the
last year, with the end nowhere in
sight. In some areas, gasoline has gone

up 20 percent, and industry projections
suggest 50-75 cent per gallon prices by
the end of this year. The American
Petroleum Council, a reliable spokeman
for the industry, has predicted increased
in prices by 1985 for up to 125 percent in
petroleum products, and up to 250
percent in natural gas.

According to the May, 1973, report of
the Office of Emergency Preparedness,
some 1300 independent gas stations,
relying for their suppliies on the big
companies but underpricing them in the
market, have recently been forced out of
business. As Connecticut Attorney Gert
eral Robert K. Killian put it, “It is now
becoming widely understood that the
major oil companies are using the present
claimed shortage to force the independent
sector of the petroleum market out of
business, removing the last real element
of competition from petroleum pricing.”

If the price increases for natural gas
now being considered by governmental
regulatory agencies should be approved,
it would mean an additional windfall profit
to the gas companies of $6.6 billion per
year. The value of the industries’ present
gas reserves would increase by more than
$300 billion. Ominously, the Federal
Power Commission has just approved a
rate increase for natural gas of up to 73
| »cent with details to be worked out with
suppliers at a later date.

In the words of Congressman Robert
W. Kastenmier (D-Wisconsin), one of the
few men in government not intimidated by
the power of big oil, “The fact is, much of
the so-called ‘energy crisis’ is being
concocted in the board rooms and the
public relations offices of the nation’s
major oil companies.”

According to estimates provided by
the Federal government, the reserves of
oil in the continental United States are
between 575 billion and 2,400 billion
barrels. But the oil industry continues to
use an estimate of 36.5 billion barrels, a
seven year supply. Tr > Department of the
Interior, _ under whose jurisdiction

petroleum resources fall, reported in 1972

 

that “The potential resources of fuel
minerals (in the U.S.) that are on the verge
of use but await technologic advance will
last 16,500 years at the rate of use in
1970.”

Estimate and the industry's seven year
figure falls the estimate of the National
Petroleum Council, that under existing
technology, recoverable petroleum in the
U.S.totals 385 billion barrels. At current
rates of consumption and growth, this
would be a fifty-year supply—a long range
problem, but hardly an immediate crisis.

Nor is petroleum the only source of
energy in the US. In 1970, major energy
sources were as follows:

Nuclear energy .3 percent
Hydroelectric 4.2 percent
Natural gas 37.0 percent
Petroleum 37.0 percent
Coal 20.9 percent

Domestic U.S. supplies of natural gas
are the second largest in the world. And
technologies are being developed to more
adequately utilize the immense coal
reserves in the U.S., both through new
techniques for more efficient direct
burning, and through the manufacture of
gas from coal. The Atomic Energy
Commission predicts that by 1985, 30
percent of all electricity in the U.S. will be
produced by nuclear power.

Most informed sources (outside of the
petroleum industry) indicate that, if
properly developed, domestic energy
supplies are adequate for basic American
needs. However, with increasing energy
use, more corporate investment in
exploration and the development of these
new technologies will be required for
proper exploitation of these sources. And
there lies the rub.

The industry says it cannot adequately
develop the technologies to provide the
required energy for U.S. needs unless it
gets much higher profit margins. “We
cannot maximize our production,” an
industry spokesman recently said,
“because it is not sufficiently profitable to
do so at current price levels. We need
higher prices and more equitable tax
breaks to get money for the required
exploration and development costs.”

But in the 1961-1971 period, during
which oil consumption in the U.S.
increased by 50 percent, the major oil
companies’ profit margins increased by
more than 100 percent. And they
continued to pay less in taxes than any
other sector of American business.

In addition to the billions of dollars
per year in excess profits gained through
the import quota program, other
structured tax loopholes (like depletion
allowances, tax write-offs of royalties to
foreign governments and drilling and
equipment depreciation exemptions) adds
billions more to the industry’s tax free
income.

In the words of one informed critic,
“through a variety of concessions to the
petroleum and natural gas companies, the
U.S. government has provided more than
ample profits to enable the energy
companies to do the exploration and to
develop the technologies needed to meet
the energy needs of the U.S. But the
particularly rapacious appetite for profits
of U.S. oil will demand even higher profit
returns before the required development
of energy resources will be undertaken.”

‘Wives of Windsor’ is
a ‘first’ in new theatre

By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
Staff Writer

Students who saw this past week's
production of “The Merry Wives of
Windsor’ saw the first major production
in the ECU Drama Department’s new
studio theatre.

Albert Pertalion, director of the Studio
Theatre, discussed the theatre and some
of its assets in a recent interview.

The theatre seated about 250 for the
production of “The Merry Wives of
Windsor’, but it could seat as many as
300 or as little as 100 Pertalion explained.

“The theatre is designed te work either
as a thrust, arena, or multistage
production area,” he added. “It has both
a permanent light and sound booth.”

Pertalion feels that its intimate size
and its proximity to the action are the
theatre’s greatest assets.

“It’s a great training area for acting
students because the size of their delivery
in the studio theatre approximates that of
television and film work. Actors working
in McGinnis Auditorium get into delivery
problems. We have never had any place
for actors to train for sound for television
and film before, he said.

Pertalion explained, “It’s been a great
deficit to us not to have the studio
theatre. There has always been a great
need. Sometimes we have had things at
the Methodist Student Theatre and the
SGA Coffeehouse.”

“Having the studio theatre will enable
us to get students we couldn't get
before. The knowledgable student knows
that 90 per cent of the work they will get
is in film and television. Students won't
come to a drama school if they know_it
doesn’t have a theatre for training for

films and television,” he said.

The drama department will do two
major productions in the Studio Theatre
this year and three major productions for
McGinnis Auditorium. “The Merry Wives
of Windsor” production was the first
production for the Studio Theatre. The
second will be Arthur Kopit’s “Indians”.
Pertalion described “Indians” as_ tailor
made for that little studio.”

Since the Studio Theatre is small and
more intimate Pertalion hopes to be able
to do some productions that would be for
the student body. He explained that there
are some plays that are so student
oriented that the “ECU students would
groove on them and the general public
would not.”

This is the first year that the Studio
Theatre is officially opened with
equipment and a designated major
budget. The drama department did all the
work for the theatre itself. The campus
furnished the paint and the SGA President
Bill Bodenhamer approved an_ interim
budget for “The Merry Wives” production.
“The Merry Wives” show took consider-
able effort and expense, Pertalion added.

“Even though we have good
attendance, one of the problems we have
with the students is that they don’t realize
how good the productions are here. |
think the acting done here is extraordinary
not to have a graduate program,”
Pertalion commented.

“One of the reasons ! think the
department is so successful is the
number of people we have sent to New
York and have gotten work. As a matter
of fact one problem we have is that people
have gotten gooc enough for New York
and left here before they graduated. So |
know we're doing something right.”

Recycling

Continued from page three.

market for recycled paper people will
begin to gather up paper and turn it in,”
Mrs. Webber said. “If we can get to the
point where there is a demand for
recycled paper then there will be enough
money for it for city groups to get
involved.”

Tne National League is also
encouraging fairer freight rates for
recycled materials. Mrs. Webber explain-
ed that recycled glass, metal and paper
pays higher freight rates than virgin
materials. The government subsidizes the
use of cirgin materials because the
government owns the forest land. What is
charged for cutting timber establishes the
charge for wood pulp.

Mrs. Webbor said that the National
League has been given a grant to focus
attention on recycling and what to do with
waste. Five or ten states would be funded
and North Carolina in one. There will be a
tour of recycling plants. There will also
be room for several people other than
league members. Interested students are
welcomed.

According to Mrs. Webbor paper can
be called recycled even if it was made
from nothing more than twigs. Mrs.
Webbor feels that this is justified if it is
using something that would otherwise be
thrown away.

“Sometimes all that is used is the
trimming of paper-something that is
printed and not used. This seems
valuable if it is using something that
wouldn't otherwise be used,” she said.

Mrs. Webber said that Greenville is
circled with towns such as Kinston and
Wilson that have recycling projects.

The Greenville Lions Club is also
working on a recycling project. Dr. Robert
Graham explained the Lions Club is

working to get a recycling center for
Greenville.

According to Graham, the only thing
in their way is a building. “We have
transportation and markets. There is a
tremendous volunteer labor force. Many
students are interested anc-ould take back
the ideas they learn to their home
towns. Some of them may already know
things they can use to help us,” he said.

Graham explained that they hope to
start with paper and aluminum because
these are the easiest and to branch out
from there if that is successful.

“We hope to recycle as many things as
we can eventually - glass and multi-metal
cans at least.”

“The ultimate idea is that we can’t
keep on living, throwing away things at
the rate we've been throwing them away,”
Graham said.

“Studies in Pennsylvania show there is
a tremendous amount of seepage in
landfills. We are using up the area down
by the river as a landfill. There must be
some seepage into the river especially in a
swampy area like Greenville.”

“Aluminum is expensive to manufac-
ture. It is also expensive in terms of
electrical power. It takes twenty times
less power to convert aluminum cans
back into aluminum than to mine it,”
Graham explained.

According to Graham even garbage
can be recycled by making in into a
material called compost which is vital to
good farming. It enriches the soil by
providing humus.

The Greenville Parts and Metal
Company is one link in a recycling
chain. Local peddlers and large custo-
mers from out of town sell scrap metal to
the industry. The peddlers find the metal
in junk piles and clean it up Greenville
Parts and Metal Company separates the
metal and sends it to other companies in
the north where it is recycled.

Lowenbach speaks:
‘mental depression’

By NANCY LONGWORTH
Staff Writer

“Mental Depression: Depression and
Loss” was the topic of the second lecture
in the ECU Medical School lecture series.

Dr. Hans Lowenbach, Professor of
Psychiatry at Duke University Medical
Center was the speaker.

Dr. Lowenbach opened his lecture by
relating the reactions of various people
when asked, “How do you feel?”. He then
proceeded to show the difference between
general depression and loss reaction.

General depression occurs when there
is no specific object or reason on which
to focus ill feelings. One experiences self
depreciative feelings, hopelessness and
acute indecisiveness.

“A depressed individual is usually
dealing with false beliefs of self
depreciation,” said Lowenbach, “which
are not evident in his work or daily
activities.” The cause of depression is
unknown as is the cause of its frequent
reoccurence in an individual. Depression
is a self limiting disease yet empirical
drugs and psychelectric treatment may
shorten its course.

In contrast to general depression, loss
reaction is in response to the removal of a
loved object. Acute loss such as loss of a

and mental shock. An individual may
react with emotional hysteria, faintness,
labored respiration, etc.

Dr. Lowenbach outlined tive main
stages of loss reaction. The first occurs
immediately after the loss. This is the
self sacrifice stage when the griever wants
to know what he can do to help. The
second stage is one of _ self
accusation. Now the griever asks the
question, what should | have done? Next
is the accusitory stage when the blame is
transferred to another factor or
person. The fourth stage is one of
santification or there-will-never-be-
another attitude. The final stage is one of
resolution when the loss is accepted.
Now the individual begins to reconstruct
his life minus the loved object. At this
point the griever has disengaged himself
from his preoccupation with grief.

Before the close of Dr. Lowenbach’s

. lecture there was a brief question and

answer session.

Dr. Robert L. Timmons will be the next
quest lecturer in the Medical School
series. He will speak on “Headache:
Treatment and Mistreatment” on Novem-
ber 29. Following him on Janaury 10, will
be Dr. Alfred L. Ferguson. His topic is
“The Silent Disease: High Blood
Pressure”.

The ECU School of Medicine has

'‘Best_ managed site _in NC’

ndfill eliminates health hazards

By NANCY BREADY
Staff Writer

Under the provisions of City Ordinance
440 Greenville operates a land-fill
procedure to dispose of wastes and
eliminate health hazards. This is accom
plished “through the sanitary disposal of
wastes in a manner that will insure the
protection of the environment.”

The operation of the land-fill under the
jurisdiction of the City Manager and the
Director of Public Works. It is open to the
public daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.

Greenville’s operation has been
acclaimed by some as the best managed
land-fill site in the state, acknowledged
by Mayo Allen, Director of Public
Works. It has achieved that distinction,
Allen feels, since beginning a sanitary
land-fill operation in accordance with
federal and state guidelines. previous
operation lacked sufficient restrictions
and prohibitions of such things as
burning of materials and disposal of
“unacceptable waste”-like junked cars,
semi-solid fluids and poison of any
kind. Now burning of materials and
ispection of wastes disposed are
supervised by the Department of Public
Works.

Greenville’s waste-defined as ‘“use-
less, unused, unwanted or discarded
materials resulting from natural commu-
nity activities’- is dumped into trenches
of various sizes and covered with a 24”
layer of dirt. Allen notes that, “We're
using low ground of no use whatever to
the people.”

The use of this low ground-tech-
nically, a “lodd plain’- is a major
disadvantage of the operation, opined Dr.
Vincent Bellis. Bellis, a biology professor
at ECU, noted that a well-managed
land-fill site is above the water table. A
signigicant portion of Greenville’s
operation is not.

When this situation exists, Bellis
instructed, there is a problem of

‘

“leeching”. Leeching is a natural process
by which certain water soluble materials;
like newspapers, decompose and are
eventually transferred back to the land or
nearby water sources, in this case the Tar
River. In a “well-managed” land-fill, notes
Bellis, one should be able to read the old,
buried papers. This isn’t possible if the
fill area is below the water table.

At least one resident of the land-fill
area has noted disadvantages. Dorothy
and Jack Hall of 2715 E. 2nd St., have
made several complaints to the city about
the site. A few months ago the city began
to fill an area bordering on their
property. The Halls’ became very
concerned when the trenches were left
uncovered overnight. Mr. Hall photo-
graphed the area and notified Mayo Allen
of the condition. Allen explained that the
trenches were left open because there was
no way for a bulldozer to get down the
slope to spread the dirt cover.

The operation took about four
weeks. During this time the Halls’ made

several attempts to “reason with the
city”. By the time we got anything done,
it was finished,” complained Hall.

As an example of the city’s lack of
cooperation Hall noted that during
Memorial Day weekend the trash was left
uncovered from noon Saturday until
Tuesday moming. “This was not just
cardboard boxes it was garbage,” he
exclaimed. Much of the area being filled
at the time was _ low, marshy
area. Combine this situation with several
days of rain and the result was garbage
immersed in about a foot of water. It was

very unpleasant, the Halls complained.

Hall’s main complaint concemed the
proximity of the operation to private
property. He finally was able to contact
O.W. Strickland, state Director of Solid
Waste Disposal.

It appears that there is no regulation
governing this situation. But, as Strick-
land noted, you've got to use a little
common sense. Strickland implied, Hall
feels, that if he'd been aware of the
situation before the operation’s beginning
ti would not have been approved. He
promised to investigate the matter.

Faculty Senate drops
language requirement

By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer

Should the foreign language entrance
requirement at ECU he abolished or not?

This is the question causing a great
deal of personal and emotional distress to
many faculty members and _ interested
Students, as well as a great amount of
discussion in a Faculty-Senate meeting
Tuesday afternoon.

The question’s popularity was caused
by a recommendation by the Admissions
Committee to eliminate the foreign
language requirement for entering
freshmen which was submitted to the
Faculty Senate.

News of the proposal prior to the
meeting caused an informal banding of
faculty members of both opinions and a
small protest started by students who
delivered letters in opposition of the
proposal to all faculty members.

Two faculty members, Dr. Susan
McDaniels, Assistant Provost, and Dr.
Carolyn Bolt, foreign language professor,
were asked their opinions of the proposal
prior to the meetina.

Dr. McDaniels, a member of the
Admissions Committee, said that she
would rather not comment on_ her
personal opinion of the proposal, however
she did give reasons for adoption of the

proposal.

“There is no exit requirement, so why
should there be an entrance requirement,”
McDaniels said. “Many students with a
foreign language background in high
school place in the first level of language
on placement tests anyway and also many
other schools have deleted’ the
requirement. In fact, ECU is the only
school in North Carolina that has a
foreign language entrance requirement
and enforces it. Other schools offer a
disclaimer or grant admission regard-
less.”

The Admissions Committee has been
working on the proposal for three years
and has finally decided to act on it. A
survey was issued to the faculty last year
regarding the importance of the
requirement. According to McDaniels,
most of the faculty were against it.

Dr. Carolyn Bolt, Assistant Professor
of Russian and German, said that the
proposal, if passed, “would be a
dis-service to the secondary school
systems of N.C., and possibly jeopardize
foreign language majors’ future occupa-
tions as high school teachers.”

“|! am definitely opposed to the
Admissions Committee’s | recommend-
ation to delete the foreign language
entrance requirement,” Bolt commented.
“| have been shown no proof which
convinces me that this action will, in fact,
improve the services which a university
must necessarily render to its students

and its culture.”

The Faculty-Senate meeting Tuesday
afternoon was the scene of emotional

speeches and discussion. Many visitors,
including students and most of the
foreign language faculty members were
present at the open session.

The presentation of the Admissions
Committee’s proposal was the first order
of business reviewed at the meeting. Dr.
Clemmens, chairman of the committee,
read the proposal to the senate. He said
that the reasons for the proposal had been
listed by the committee as follows: (1)
many colleges are dropping the
requirement, (2) a survey presented to
college presidents on opinions of the
requirement resulted in 41 against and 6
for keeping it, and (3) a report from
the Carnegie Panel showed that there is a
reduced need for a college preparatory
program in high schools.

Several visitors spoke on the topic
including Dean John Horne, Director of
Admissions, who said that in his
observations in visiting high schools, that
there are some students that are
interested in attending ECU, but are not
eligible because of the foreign language
requirement.

Pauline Tudor,
students against the proposal, said, “if
adopted, it would be a dis-service to the
university, the students and the high
schools. It has been proven that the
drop-out rate of students with a foreign
language background is lower than the
drop-out rate of students without a
foreign lanquage background.

James Davis, Secretary for Academic
Affairs of the SGA, represented that
student body of ECU on behalf of the
SGA. Davis said that it was his general
conception that the studednts of ECU are
opposed to the requirement. :

“I don't believe it is necessary to have this
requirement,” says Davis, “in fact | think
it hinders the students.”

“The proposal is not only a question ot
admissions, but also a question of
values,” senator Thomas Williams said on

behalf of the foreign languages
department.

Williams submitted a substitute
proposal asking that an Ad Hoc

committee be formed with representatives
of all concerned disciplines to evaluate
solutions to the enrollment problem at
ECU. The proposal was defeated with a
vote of 18 for and 23 against.

Senators Edward Reep, Tinsley
Yarbrough, and Alfred Wang also made
brief statements in favor of keeping the
requirement.

After further brief discussion on the
proposal to delete the foreign language
entrance requirement, a vote was taken
and the proposal was passed with a vote
of 19 for and 23 against.

An amendment to tie former proposal
was issued by Dr. Robert Williams. The
amendment proposed that the deletion of

the entrance requirement began effective
Fall 1974 instead of Winter 1973. The

amendment was passed in a vote of 31 for
and 8 against.

Ecology and relevance - Nixon and the power game

The great heyday of concem over
issues of ecology, environmental
conditions and waste seems to be
over. Earth Day receives little notice if it’s
noticed at all, and thoughts of recycling
everything from cans to newspapers seem
to have lost a bit of their former fervent
nobility.

In short, past environmental fervor has
gone the way of most instant issues. This
is highly unfortunate. Unlike the majority
of fad phases, ecology is/was a topic of
major import.

Greenville recently experienced a kill
of two million fish in the Tar River, a fish
kill due to as-yet undetermined causes. In
a more distant issue, the construction of
an Alaskan pipeline has drawn the
consternation of environmentalists: oil
spillage and the necessary destruction of
nature necessary in construction of the
pipeline were two reasons cited for
opposition.

’M NOT ONE TO POINT AN
ACCUSING FINGER, BUT I THINK WE
HAVE AN INFORMER IN THE GROUP!

 

By JACK ANDERSON

WASHINGTON-—In the privacy of his
oval office, President Nixon likes to use
football terms to describe his political
plays. He often talks about the “game
plan” and the “big play”. The President
plays a grim game and the name of that
game is power.

Sometimes it seems that the game,
more than the objectives, occupies
him. He seems to enjoy the power plays,
particularly the quarterback sneaks and
the sleeper plays.

His maneuver to get rid of Special
Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox is
typical. The President's real objective was
not really to protect the Watergate tapes,
although he would like to have kept them
supppressed. He used the tapes in a
sleeper play to remove Cox.

The President, who is suspicious by
nature, became convinced that Cox was
out to get him. His .suspicions were
fueled by former aides Bou naveman,
John Ehrlichman and CHarles Colson,
who were trying to protect their own
necks. They expected no leniency from
Cox, so they whispered around the White
House that Cox was really aiming for the
President.

Cox confirmed the President's fears by
unleashing his bloodhounds against Bebe
Rebozo. This was bound to lead to an
investigation of the President's own
finances which are ensnarled in Rebozo’s
affairs.

So the President used the tapes issue
to maneuver Cox into an act of
insubordination. Our White House
sources admit that Cox was the real
object of the _ big play.

The President deliberately kept the
issue out of the Supreme Court which
would have increased his political
risks. He also chose to move while war
was raging in the Middle EastHe thought
the public sympathy would be on his side
at a time when he ws seeking to end a
dangerous war.

But the big play, as sometimes hapens

in both football and politics, backfired.
- Haig Unmasked: The firing of
Archibald Cox tore the mask off the new
White House chief of _ staff, Gen.
Alexander Haig. There were misgivings
in Congress over the appointment of a
military man to this powerful civiliam
post. But Haig’s defenders contended,
quite truthfully, that he was a man of
honor and integrity dedicated to his
country.

But it took the Cox controversy’ to
reveal how the military mind works.
Throughout the episode, according to our
White House sources, Haig followed the
President’s orders without once question-
ing them.

He never asked whether it ws right for
the President to violate a pledge to the
Senate that the special prosecutor could
conduct an independent investigation of
the Watergate crimes without White
House interference. Haig’s loyalty was to
his commander-in-chief, not to the higher
principles at issue.

Haig, for example, called former
Deputy Attorney General William Ruckel-
shaus and transmitted the order to fire
Cox. When Ruckelshaus refused to do
so, Haig was abashed. The general told
Ruckelshaus in crisp military voice:
“Your commander-in-chief has given you
an order.”

 

Clearly, that was all that mattered to
Haig. Someone forgot to tell him at West
Point that his loyalty was supposed to be
to the Constitution, to the democratic
institutions, not to any man.

Crisis-Prone President: White House
aides have concluded despairingly that
President Nixon is crisis-prone. He
seems to be drawn irresistibly to crisis
and confrontation. This has stirred talk
both in and out of the White House about
what makes Richard Nixon tick.

Those who know the human Nixon say
he is a warm friend, a faithful husband
and a loving father. But he is a shy and
sensitive man, who is comfortable only
among old friends. The moment a
stranger walks into the room, they say, he
changes personality from the private
Nixon to the public Nixon.

This tendency to hide his true identity
from the public has caused a certain
alienation. He doesn’t trust the public
and the public doesn't entirely trust
him. The President is also a rock-'em-
sock-’em campaigner. He regards his
political attacks on others as part of the
game. But their attacks on him have left
deep scars.

As a result, he has become acutely
sensitive to criticism and he looks upon
dissent as disloyalty. White House aides
tells ut the President is terribly frustrated
over the harassment from his critics and
the ebbing of his power. He feels that his
critics simply want to obstruct him and
that the publiic doesn't understand his
problems.

For a man of Nixon’s combative
nature, he reacts by holding his ground
and striking back at his ciritics. He has
become a comered President who is
determined to go down fighting.

Spending Sprees: The Pentagon is
constantly complaining about military
budget cuts, but the brass hats always
seem to have enough money to entertain
visiting dignitaries.

Sometime ago, for example, the 101st
Airborne Division at Fort Campbell,
Kentucky, was told that Pesident Nixon
would drop by. Out came the paint
brushes and whitewash buckets. Civilians
and soldiers alike labored long hours
putting together promotional displays.

Two days before the big day, the brass
hats were told Nixon couldn't make
it. They would have to settle for second
best - then Vice President Spiro
Agnew. Nevertheless, 47 buses were
hired to bring in people from the
hinterlands. A fleet of cars was rented to
haul around the dignitaries. All told, the
Agnew visit cost the taxpayers $250,000.

A few days ago, Julie Nixon
Eisenhower visited the Marine base at
Quantico, Virginia. The corps, it seems,
had declared surplus a thousand acres of
its property. Julie was selected to present
it to the neighboring Virginia counties.

The leathernecks hauled out the
Marine bank and ordered refreshments.
Ambulances were ordered to stand by ad
a medical evacuation helicopter was
readied in case there were heart
failures. Many of the hundreds of VIPs
were ferried to the event in a special
airplane.

The citizens of Virginia received nearly
$3 million worth of property-but it cost
the nation thousands of dollars simply to
make the presentation.

To Fountainhead:

Whew! | finally staggered back from
Bethel late last night, whereupon King
Billie promptly thrashed me with a copy
of his forthcoming book, THE DIVINE
PLAN. After that humiliation, | learned
that in my absence some nimble, but
dog-eared freshman has stolen my girl. |
hope the student body will allow me a
brief leave of absence to put my heart
back together or to dispatch this character
swiftly to hell.

Besides, a broken-hearted jester tums
to caustic humor, and ECU has enough of
that genre flowing from the pen of
IMicheli Le Braillard, a sour grapes
fanatic. If King Billie would decree it, I'd
challenge Le Braillard to a joust before
the entire student body in Ficklen
Stadium. I'd wear my royal jock, purple
and goal with a green pentangular star,
and Le Braillard could wear his green
girdle and sandals. We would battle for
honor. If | lost, I'd clean his ‘stall: for a
year, but if ! won, he would be free to go
his own way, for an honest jester needs
no pander of spoiled grapes.

So | will write no more unless some
kind heart’s letter may find me in my
wandering exile.

Yours in tears,

Thanks students

To Fountainhead:

At noontime on Thursday of this week
one of the guests awaiting service in the
Main Cafeteria suffered an apparently very
severe epileptic seizure. He fell to the
floor unconscious and in_ violent
convulsions.

Three students, A.R.F.O.T.C. Cadet
Eric Kornegay, Athletic Trainer Joe Burris
and Gary Mustian rendered immediate and
successful first aid. They, despite the
spasmatic convulsions of the victim, were
able to keep him from choking
himself. Before medical aid had arrived
they had him restored to consciousness
and stability.

These young men are deserving of the
highest praise. Their timely initiative and
resourcefulness were responsible for
saving a human life.

| write this letter in the hope that their
humanitarian deed will be acclaimed by
the University Community.

Sincerely,

Mall festivities

To Fountainhead:

It has come to my attention that there
are to be some festivities on out mall this
Wednesday afternoon. | for one am
planning on planning to participate in this
frolicsome funfilled festival in which you
cannot come out any worse than you went
in.

As you well know there will be no
types of rash recourse for the
rambunctious and rowdy students who
will have a fairly good time flashing their
talents in the many games there, and
maybe they’ll win a prize.

| think the title of this festival is
Octobrefest but what’s in a name? The
Great Pumpkin will still come, even
though his name has been deleted from
the title.

I'm-a-gonna go and have a blast,
everyone else should too.

Greenville, N.C.

Dear Mr. Pecheles:

| am writing this letter because |
consider it a duty to myself and the
citizens of Greenville. This letter is to
inform you that | feel that | have been
submitted to poor and unfair business
practices, not to mention inconvenience,
by your service department.

On Monday, October 1, 1973 | bought
my 1964 Volkswagon to your service
department for the purpose of getting it
inspected for safety as is required by
North Carolina state law. | brought the
car to you, against my better judgement,
only because another authorized state
safety inspection center told me your firm
was the only place in Greenville that |
could get my car inspected, due to the
unusual headlights on a Volkswagon. At
your service center, my car was placed on

adjustments were the only supposed
ailments of my car that should have been
considered for a state safety inspection.
The other “problems” did not even apply
to this inspection. Furthermore, | was
told that only the brakes needed
adjustment. The parking lights were not
burned out and the headlights needed no
adjustment. This brake adjustment cost a
mere $2.00. This is quite a contrast to the
thirty dollars your firm was going to
charge me for urnecessary adjustments
and repairs.

To add insult to injury, the Raleigh
firm charged me less than half the amount
your firm said they would charge for a
routine engine tune-up. This seemed
strange to me, due to the fact that the
cost of living is higher in Raleigh than in
Greenville.

Incidently, this is the same car that
was brought to your firm by the previous
owner, my fiancee, three years ago. At
that time, she was told by your service
men that it would cost about $300 to $350
to repair the car's engine, and that it
would stop running completely at any
time. She was further told that it would
cost more than the car was wort tofix it
but that you would be GLAD to talk to her
about trading the car for a NEW
Volkswagon. She drove the car all the
way home to Raleigh, where she had the
car repaired for less than half of the cost
you quoted her. This same car is still
running today, some three years and
40,000 miles iater.

It is your privilege to charge whatever
prices you wish for necessary repairs.
However, | feel that it is not your privilege
to take advantage of unsuspecting or
ignorant customers. At any rate, this is
one ignorant customer that you won't
have to worry about any more. | would
prefer to walk, than to set foot, not
to mention car, on your property again.

| am_ writing this letter in
triplicate. You will receive one copy, The
East Carolina University student news-
paper will receive a second copy, and the
Greenville Chamber of Commerce. will
receive the third copy.

Sincerely,
Stewart R. Pope

P.S. A fourth copy of this letter will be
sent to the North Carolina Consumer
Protection Agency in the Research

you will find in Section 11, Paragraph 1,
Statement 1, that you must have a jack or
lift as a part of the requirements for an
Inspection Station, so by lifting your car
in the air was certainly within the rights of
any inspector.

Mr. Pope, | hope this letter will be
helpful in making you understand the way
the system works. | also would like for

Seniors:

| thank those of you who replied to the
letter sent out by the Senior Class officers
and the Senior Class Interest Committee.
Of the responses, the results were as
follows on the main question of caps and
gowns. For-81 percent; Against—18
percent; Undecided—-1 percent. | will
share with you the results of the other
questions in a later letter to the Editor.

In response to several questions and
with some remarks | had planned to pass
along to you about graduation, here are a
few thoughts. You should apply for
graduation in the Registrars Office two
and one-half quarters before that date. At
that time, you should pay a $10 Senior
Fee at the Cashier's Office and you will
then return to the Registrar's Office where
you wili fill out a form indicating the
address that you would like your diploma
mailed to. For those who will not be
attending Graduation, you must fill out a
request form to be excused from the
ceremony. If you will graduate in the Fall
or Winter but plan to attend the May 1974
Graduation, you may order your Caps and
Gowns in the Student Supply Stores
during your last quarter as an
undergraduate at no additional cost.

| also remind you of the excellent
service provided by the Placement Service
in the Alumni Building. If you have any
questions conceming the Senior Class, |
hope you will contact one of your
Officers. If you have any suggestions or
questions about ECU, such as the
possibility of married student housing or
the acquisition of a stamp machine n the
Union, please call the SGA Hotline at

As a result of his investigation
Strickland ruled that the “visible portion”
from the road-an area of about 100
feet-should be filled with only solid
dirt. Hall says it ws not. “They put

garbage on top of garbage,” he lamented.

Hall went so far as to contact the
Environmental Protection Agency in
Atlanta. Theys aid they could not

intervene in state matters. “So | sent
letters to everyone,” Hall stated. In these
letters he cited regulations he interpreted
as being violated. These violations
included :

1. Vegetable matter and raw garbage are
not being separated from other refuse.

2. Trenches are left uncovered at the end

of each work day.
3. There are no signs tellings the hours of

operation.
Mayo Allen cited the bulldozer

explanation as a reason for the uncovered
trenches. The hours weren't posted, he
explained, because the general public
probably wouldn’t dump in that area.
“Recycling is being considered,” Allen
commented concerning Greenville’s plans
for such a program. It hasn’t been started
because its “so new’. It is also

expensive.
One Greenville firm has made that

start. The Eastern Carolina Sheltered
Workshop is conducting a simple

corrugated paper from local firms is now
being worked on.

‘A beautiful example,” Bellis praised.
Belis concurs with Allen that it is still
cheaper to fill, considering Greenville’s
size. “But,” he added, “the main
objective of an initial recycling program is
increased public awareness. It at least
brings the start of a solution.”

Garbage is not being separated from
other refuse simply because, as Dr. Bellis
noted, it is a ‘nuisance. Allen declared
that same reason. As a possible solution
he suggests purchasing a new machine
that does the actual separation.

Many areas do require residents to

separate their garbage from _ other
refuge. “I don’t think people in this area
are prepared to accept it,” Bellis

observed. Most citizens aren't concerned
with placing a value on trash. This lack of
awareness, Bellis feels, can be reduced
through the introduction of a recycling
program in Greenville.

Viewed economically recycling is “a
recognition that any material has some
value-even a negative one. The negative
value is assessed in the cost of trucking
trash to disposal sites,” Bellis
stated. “Recycling,” he continued, “is a
method of looking for ways to recover the

which is then sealed. In addition, it
would be useful to collect samples of the
intake water in order to show that the
refuse material was not in the incoming
water but was added by the company
when it discharged its effluent. These
photographs and samples should be
labeled with information showing who
took the photograph or sample, where and
when, and how and who retained custody
of the film or jar (This physical evidence
is the heart ot your documentation.)

Pollution bounty hunters should also
consider working with local and national
environmental organizations, which can

exert pressure on the appropriate
government office to prosecute offenders.

Concerned about preservation
Landowners allow wildlife conservation

Not long ago in South Dakota, Ray:

Nesbit arranged with a rancher to
permanently protect one of the Nation’s
finest roosting sites for bald eagles. Cur-
rently, he’s helping to ensure the owner of
400 acres of lush. Wyoming bottomland
that her ebeloved ranch will always remain
a wildlife sanctuary. And, in a letter to
him, an eastern landowner wrote, “I’m the
last leaf on our family tree...and | only
ask that you protect the land from
subdividing as long as feasible. If this
becomes impractical, | will rest with the
knowledge that all my estate will be
dedicated to programs for wildlife
conservation.”

These concerned landowners are just a
few examples of many people throughout
the country who have arranged for the
wise long-term use of their wildlife areas,
farmlands, water resources, woodlands,
city lots, and other properties through the
National Wildlife Federation Land
Heritage Program, headed up by Nesbit.

“In affect,” says Nesbit, who retired
last May from serving for 15 years as
executive officer of the California Wildlife
Conservation Board, “the Program is a
conduit for channeling land gifts from the
ownerss to private an public organizations
that can manage them effectively in the
years ahead.”

In “Let Your Land Live On” in the
December-Janaury issue of NATIONAL
WILDLIFE Magazine, published by the

National Wildlife Federation, Nesbit
emphasizes that the NWF is_ not
interested in going into the land

management business, or becoming big
landowners. “Instead, the Federation's
abilities make it an ideal clearing house
for people who want to transform their
real estate into a_ living wildlife
memorial. It has the personnel, the
know-how and the right contacts to cut
red tape.”

According to Nesbit, the potential
uses of such donations are “tremendous,”
including preservation of endangered
species and habitat, research, conser-

vation education, outdoor laboratories,
nature-study groups, as well as recreation
and relaxation.

The Federation has established three
different categories of land donation:

--Property of high scenic or natural
resource which can later be turned over to
colleges, nature societies, or federal,
state, or local government agencies,
including school districts;

--Property of limited or no wildlife or
natural resource value, but of some
economic value. in this category, donors
agree to resale with proceeds dedicated to
the purchase and development of high
wild-life value lands or other NWF
programs;

Property of limited wildlife or natural
resource value, but which could provide
revenue for NWF programs of habitat
preservation and conservation education
by lease or concession arrangement,
including commercial, agricultureal, or
other revenue producers.

There are a myriad of ways noted in
the NATIONAL WILDLIFE article in which

landowners can save their property for |

wildlife and wilderness through the Land
Heritage Program, including the possi-
bility of a legal easement. This agreement
allows the landowner to continue to

control the property, but protects the —

wildlife and habitat within the area. “It

can be as beneficial to conservationists as i

actual ownership of the land,” Nesbit
asserts.

Some donations to the Program can
result in decided tax advantages. As one
businessman donor told Nesbit, “... a
portion of my estate can benefit a number
of Federation programs, and indirectly
can make this country a little better for

 

wildlife and recreation. And I’m not really
losing anything; in fact, I'll benefit,
because | can take advantage of the tax
exemption on gifts to a qualified
tax-exempt organization like the National
Wildlife Federation.”

As director of the new Land Heritage
Program, Nesbit brings a vast land
administration experience with him.
While with the California Wildlife
Conservation Board, he put together over
200 major wildlife projects, including the
acquisition and development of lakes,
wildlife refuges, hundreds of miles of
Streams and thousands of acres of
land. Prior to joining the California
Board, Nesbit, a graduate of Kent State
University with a degree in natural
sciences, did extensive graduate work in
forestry, conservation and engineering.

Freedom of
the Press

(CPS)--Freedom of the press was the
issue in the Arizona Court of Appeals
when the alternative weekly New Times
had a showdown with the University of
Arizona, Tucson.

The school has limited New Times to
six distribution stands on the campus and
imposed a weekly $2 per stand charge, on
the grounds that the money was needed
as a clean-up fee.

Appellate Judge James Hathaway did
not agree.

In reversing an earlier 1972 decision,
the judge ruled, “The evils sought to be
precented by enactment of the First
Amendment were not merely censorship
of the press but also infringements upon

distribution of ideas, for without
distribution of ideas, such freedoms
guaranteed by the First Amendment

become merely platitudes. Although
these freedoms are not absolute, and
restriction upon them must be closely and
carefully scrutinized so that different and
inherently suspect ideas will not be
suppressed under the auspices. of
permissable police regulations.
“Justification for the restrictions
imposed by the subject regulation has
sought on the basis __ that
the newspaper ulti-

regulation falls when placed in the
balance with the guarantees of the First
Amendment.”

Not a simple matter

 

EPA ‘brings polluters to justice’

By LINDA HECKER

(CPS)--“It shall not be lawful to throw,
discharge, deposit, or cause, sugger or
procure to be thrown, discharged or
deposited either from or out of any ship,
barge or other floating craft of any kind,
or from the shore, wharf, manufacturing
establishment or mill of any kind, any
refuse matter of any kind...into any
navigable water... Every person and every
corporation that shall violate, or that shall
knowingly aid, abet, authorize, or
instigate a violation thereof shall be
punished by fine not exceeding $2,500 nor
less than $500. ..one-half of said fine to
be paid to the person of persons giving
information which shall lead to
conviction’--33U.S. Code, Sec. 407, 411,
The Refuse Act of 1899.

What better way to serve the
environment, your neighbors, and your
own interests than to track illegally
dumped poisons to their source, rout out

the giant industrial polluters, and bring |

them to justice?

Bringing a polluter to justice is not
however simply a matter of collecting
scientific evidence and reporting it. There
is a maze of overlapping state and federal
‘ standards and jurisdictions to untangle.

The Refuse Act of 1899 as amended by
the Federal Water Quality Act of 1972
provides the basic law governing bounty
hunting for polluters. The Refuse Act was
largely unenforced until a 1970
presidential order authorized Army Corps
of Engineers, the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA), and the Justice

Department to cooperate in its
implementation.

EPA now has the regulatory function
of maintaining a permit program which
requires anyone dumping wastes to fill an
application listing the chemicals to be
discharged and specifying the level of
concentration, the temperature, and the
filtering techniques used.

The EPA permit program created three
classes of Refuse Act violators:

--those who have not applied for a
permit to dump wastes

--those who are dumping without a
permit but have applied for one

..those who have obtained a permit.

The first group is in clear violation of
the Refuse Act while the latter two are
protected by their at least partial
compliance with EPA regulations. How-

ever, a violation of a permit or its
application is treated as a violation of the
Refuse Ace itself. Prosecution is easiest
when one proves applications have
falsified the nature and amount of wastes
discharged.

Precise documentation of permit and
application violations is essential to
preparing a strong case under the Refuse
Act and similar state laws. Citizen
provided evidence is welcomed in
jurisdictions although the bounty is only
awarded in some states.

Complaints on industries or municipa-
lities endangering resources should be
made to either the State Attorney's office
or a branch of the US Attomey’s

office. Federal agencies will prosecute _

cases where sufficient evidence has been
provided. $1250 is the maximum reward

 

ty

given for citizen action
prosecution.

The House Subcommittee on Conser-
vation and Natural Resources prepared
the following guidelines which tell what
evidence a citizen should submit to the
US Attorney's office:

The citizen should make a detailed
statement, sworn to before a Notary or
other official authorized to administer
oaths, setting forth:

--the nature of the refuse material
discharged.

(This does not mean that you have to
have a chemical analysis done
yourself. The US Attorney should turn all
Refuse Act complaints over to the EPA
which will analyze the samples. A

(CPS)--A University of Missouri psycho-
logy professor has found in preliminary
studies that television violence arouses
emotions and tends to make people more
aggressive.

Dr. Russell G. Geen, who recently
received a grant renewal of $55,000 from
the National Science Foundation, is sure
television violence offered with emphasis
on vengeance tends to be more exciting
than violence involved with self-defense.
With the new grant he will look at
motivations other than revenge, such as
aggression or the execution of orders or
commands.

Geen’s previous studies _ tested
physical indicators of emotion while
subjects watched television programs
containing scenes of violence. His
interest in the effect of television violence
developed from original studies on

aggression in humans, in which Geen
sought to establish some causes of
aggression in controlled experimental
settings.

Halloween: a legend of pumkins and ghosts

By DIANE TAYLOR
Staff Writer

Rise up, oh Great Pumpkin! Once
again it is time to flee the mystical
Pumpkin Patch and roll about the
shadows of the earth, bringing treats to
all good beagles.

A whole year has passed, and now
tomorrow night, the mighty sounds of the
Great Pumpkin will be heard throughout
the land. Greater than the cackling of
witches and banshee shrieks, we hear
thee, oh Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

The what? You know, it’s the Great
Pumpkin.

Tomorrow night is Halloween, also
known as All Hallows Eve, Nutcracker
Night and Snapapple Night. It is a relic of
pagan times. A night when supernatural
influences prevail and universal spirits
roam the earth.

Halloween was the night when young
girls would invoke the spirits and invisible
powers to reveal to them the image of
their future husbands and lovers. By
looking in a mirror at midnight after
eating a piece of bread, sowing hemp
seed under the moon while chanting to
the spirits, thrice imitating the action of
throwing com to the wind, or repeating a
prayer backwards while pulling yarn
through an open window, _ trusting
maidens were assured of seeing their
future beloveds.

In part, Halloween comes down from
the ancient Druids of barbaric Briton when
they held their autumn festical in honor of
the sun god. Bonfires were lit and prayers
said for the souls of the dead who were
being gathered up by Samhain, the god of
death.

The ancient Romans also contributed
to Halloween by their autumn festival to
the honor of Pamona, goddess of fruit
and gardens.

Summers End was a Celtic holiday
when spirits, mostly evil walked the
earth. The Teutonic May Eve assemblage
of wiches and banshees brought its hags
and their attendant beasts to help
celebrate the harvest. All Saints Day and
All Souls Day, Christian holidays, add
their part to the mystical, frightful
superstitions of wandering ghosts and
goblins. All of these took place around
the first of November, after the harvest,
and combined to create the universal
Halloween.

The black cat is a traditional symbol of
this night, as are such creatures like the
bat, the owl and toad. Strange beings
such as fairies, trolls, pixies and elves fly
through the chilly night as well.

The pumpkin, a definite token of

Halloween, is said to be merely a symbol z

of the harvest.
But what would Halloween be without

the ghoulish faces of Jack-o-lanterns,
leering from every doorstep? Although
the United States has thoroughly adopted
Jack, he is not a native of this country.
Long ago, in Ireland, a stingy old man
names Jack was barred from any hope of
ever entering heaven due to his
inhospitality. Because of his practical
jokes on the devil, he was locked out of
hell as well. Until the judgement day,
Jack is condemned to walk the earth with

a latern to light his way.
The Teutons believed that jack-o-lan-

AV GUY C

terns were the spirits of murderers,
walking the earth, haunting the places of
their crimes.

But perhaps the truest forerunner of
Jack comes from Scotland. There the
children made bogies on Halloween night
from the largest turnips they could save
from the harvest. The turnips were
hollowed out and carved into the likeness
of a fearsome face. With blackened teeth
and forehear, their evil grins were outlined
by the candle inside.

Thus, we arrive at scallop-topped
pumpkins, carved and lighted. They sit
on porches and in windows as if warding
off the lurking evils, or inviting
mischevious hands to whisk them away
and end their infinite grins in a smashed
heap on the ground.

As legend has it, Halloween is a night
of ghostly and merry revelry. In the
United States, which is the last country to
really preserve the frolicking night of
superstition and nonsense as it was in
days of old, tricks, pranks and general
mischieviousness go hand-in-hand with
tradition. Used to, young bous would
disguise themselves and sneak about
stealing doorknobs, gate posts, signs and
yes-even pumpkins. But who could
accuse such nice young men when
witches and goblins slyed about?

No one is really sure when the
throwing of raw eggs came nto the
general havock. But stealing pumpkins,
why that is as old as — pumpkins!

However, should you be lucky enough
to find your weary, battle-scarred jack still
gaping from the porch, take him in and
treat him well, for he’s not done yet.

In this day of health foods, nutrition
nuts and environmental preservation, Jack
fits right in. Pumpkins, which are the

PUMPKINS HAVE SUDDENLY BURST on
the local scene with the coming of All
Hallow's Eve, Nutcracker Night, Snap-

 

 

largest of squashes and gourds, are a
good source of vitamins A and C. They
are also a fair source of energy. The best
thing about pumpkin, is they are only 40
calories per 1/2 cup. The big orange
pumpkin was perfected by Indians and
provided a healthy supplement to their
diets. The largest variety of pumpkins
sometimes weigh as much as 200-300
pounds.

Peter Pumpkin Eater never had it so
good. Had he talked to the Indians
beforehand, he probably could have kept
his wife very weli. But then, Punkinpuss
(that great sidekick of slow-talking,
feet-dragging Mushmouth) more than
likely knew where to find those mammoth
pumpkins.

But back to Jack and what he’s good
for. In a bit of organic gardening he
makes a good fertilizer when ground up
into compost piles. However, be so kind
as to not spread his remains round a
squash vine, they belong to the same
family, you know!

When the rind is peeled and Jack is
bare, he makes a savory vegetable dish (if
you have a strong stomach and a weak
conscious). Of course there are the old

standbys of pumpkin pies, pudding,

~ pumpkin bread, pumpkin cake and, from

the inside, pumpkin seeds which are dried
and salted to eat like sunflower seeds.

lf you are one of those less
industrious type people who never give
Jack a personality and leave him just a
humble, patient pumpkin, you are in
luck. Just cut off the top, clean out the
seeds, and he makes a great punchbowl
centerpiece, full of warn and happy Rum
Punchkin.

Whether you seek your fortune and
future by the age old superstitions of

@
tt,

 

apple Night, or as commonly known here
-- Halloween on Wednesday night.

  

bobbing for apples, sowing hemp-seed
under the moon, pulling cabbages while
blindfolded, pouring melted lead or
burning named nuts on the hearth, all
while Jack-o-lantern roams the wayside,
or if you are one who sits quietly at home
drinking Punchkin and answering the
busy doorbell, pumpkins are for you.

No matter if you steal them, bust
them, eat them, cut them or drink from
them, don’t forget them.

The Great Pumpkin has arrived! Away
to the Pumpkin Patch, oh Great One.

 

‘Eco-Raiders
have been

apprehended

(CPS)--Tucson law enforcement officers
believe they have finally apprehended the
notorious Arizona “Eco-Raiders.”

Four University of Arizona students
have been charged with vandalism of
Tucson area development projects and
advertising billboards.

Damage attributed to Eco-Raiders
include spraypainting “Stop Sprawl” on
billboards and smashing windows in
buildings under construction. In notes
‘left to the “victims” at the site of the
vandalism the Eco-Raiders claimed they
were acting to protect the desert
environment.

The notes included a four point plan
for future development:

1. Make provisions for open space to
preserve the landscape and provide a
place for children to play.

‘2. Utilize cluster housing, the best for
‘residential land use.
3. Preserve natural plant life whenever

possible.
4. Do not build homes in potentially
dangerous flood plains.

Local developers claim damages

caused by the Eco-Raiders cost more than
$500,000. It is possible charges more
serious than vandalism could be filed
against the accused students.

A “position” paper released by the
Eco-Raiders last spring argued: “The
worst by-product of the real estate
developers’ lack of environmental concern
is the way in which urban residents are
separated from the beauty of the natural
desert environment. Only people having a
familiarity with the real desert will ever
become concerned enough to halt its
destruction.”

Buc booters

Saturday there was heartbreak in Chapel
Hill, but in Greenville there was joy. The
East Carolina soccer team _ outhit,
outhustled and most importantly out-
scored the William and Mary Indians for a
2-0 victory. The win gave the Pirates the
Northern Division Championship of the
Southern Conference for the first time
ever.

The Bucs offense kept constant
pressure on the William and Mary goal
and ECU’s defense, led by goalie Bucky
Moser, was superb in shutting out the
Indian’s potent offense.

Pete Angus took on the William and
Mary defense single-handedly early in the
first half. He carried the ball the length of
the field and barely missed putting the
Pirates ahead on two occasions.

William and Mary was not without
their scoring opportunities either. On one
occasion an Indian forward had his shot
hit the right post of the goal, then carom
off the left post and bounce away from
the goal mouth. On a later play Moser
had to come out of his goal area and
defenseman Doug Burnett was on his toes
as he went back to the goal in time to
deflect an Indian shot.

Tom O'Shea finally broke the ice with

take Title

a tremendous shot from about 10 feet out
to put East Caroluna up, 1-0. The
unassisted goal was the extent of the
scoring in the first half.

Moving to the second stanza both
teams were playing on equal terms. Wil-
liam and Mary continued their pressure
only to have defensemen Brad Smith,
Scott Balas, Burnett and Moser deny
them.

Mike Fetchko broke the camel’s back
as he took a picture perfect, cross-field
pass from Rick Johnson and beat the
Indian goalie for a 2-0 lead. That was to
be the extent of the scoring for the
afternoon and the two goals sent a sparse
but noisy crowd home happy.

Coach Monte Little cited the fine play
of Tom Tozer, Lloyd McClelland and
Danny O'Shea, who gave tremendous
efforts for the afternoon. .

The Northern Division Champs now
must face the winner of the Southern
Division, either (Davidson, Furman, or
Appalachian) on Nov. 10 at the Buc’s
field.

Coach Little’s club will next try to
spook North Carolina Wesleyan on
Haloween afternoon at 3 p.m. on Minges
Field.

Ladies second in Relays

The East Carolina women swimmers
won six of 11 events Friday afternoon but
finished second in the UNC Relays held in
Chapel Hill. The lady Pirates saw three of
their relays get disqualified, two of which
woulc have finished first.

Host UNC won the meet with 116
points, ECU was second with 104 and
UNC-G third in the six team meet.

Miss Angela Pennino won the East
Carolina award for the most outstanding
performance of the day and the best effort
awards went to Barbara Strange and
Peggy Toth.

The Pirates won the opening event, the

200 yard medley relay with Linda Smiley,
Linda Shull, Beverly Osborn and Miss
Strange. Miss Shull, Miss Pennino and
Judy Peacock came back to win the
300-yard backstroke relay, and Miss
Smiley, Miss Pennino and Miss Osborn
combined to capture the 150-yard
butterfly event.

Cindy Wheeler won the diving event
and Sue Bingham was second before the
relay team of Miss Shull, Miss Toth and
Miss Pennino won the 150-yard
backstroke event. East Carolina's final
victory was captured by Misses Smiley,
Toth, Pennino and Osborn in the 200-yard
freestyle relay.

Needless to say if the 300-yard
freestyle and butterfly relays and the
150-yard breastroke relay had not been
disqualified, the girls would have won the
meet going away.

Coach Eric Orders was quite pleased
with the times and efforts of his team. He
said, “We showed a great deal of spirit,
however the mistakes that we made were
fatal. | assure you that these mistakes
will not happen again.”

The women must now take on Duke
University at 6 p.m. on Thursday at

Minges Pool.

Women netters defeat UNC-W

Though hobbling on one foot ECU's
women’s tennis team managed to defeat
UNC-Wilmington 7-2 last week.

Ellen Warren and Ann Archer, the
number 3 and 4 players, were injured and
unable to play their singles matches.

Gwen Waller and Chery! Howard both
substituted admirably by winning their
matches 6-1, 6-4, and 7-5, 46, 62
respectively.

Other singles winners for the Pirates
were Ginny Deese 6-4, 7-6 and Susan
Bussey 6-3, 6-2.

The Pirates doubles teams stayed
unbeaten for the year as Deese and
Averett won 8-4, Bussey and Warren 8-4
and Gaster and Curtis 8-2.

East Carolina is now 6-0 for the year.

Pirates finish fourth in

By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer

A record setting performance by Tony
Waldrop of UNC, a tremendous effort by
Ed Rigsby plus a surprising fourth place
finish by ECU highlighted the 1973 N.C.
Cross-country Championships.

Waldrop, silver medalist in the 1500
meters in Moscow, set a new course
record of 24:10.8 minutes on a hot
cloudless day on the N.C. State five mile
course.

Waldrop was obviously elated with the
record.

“| was pleased with winning and the
time. | didn’t feel very well finishing, |
was sort of weak down the home stretch.”

“After | got back from Russia | really
threw myself into cross-country and wore
myself down. My first race | ran badly
but this month I’ve run four good races.”

Ed Rigsby of ECU finished seventh in
25:28, the fastest five mile time in ECU
history.

Rigsby said the race had an extremely
fast pace.

“It was very fast and the course was
fantastic. The last two years | ran this
course it was wet and soggy, but today it
was dry and unbelievably fast. | was
pleased with my performance, if you beat
Jim Wilkens (N.C. State) you've got to be
happy.”

Coach Bill Carson said of the meet,

“We were awfully happy to finish
fourth. At the 3 1/2 mile mark | thought

we had a chance at third, but to beat N.C.
State was a tremendously satisfying
victory. Our top four men were within one
minute of each other. Carson was greatly
impressed with Rigsby’s effort.

“Rigsby ran the fastest time in ECU

N.C. Championships

history. He beat two All-Americans in Jim
Wilkins and Bob Wilson, two very fine
runners. His performance gave us the
points we needed to defeat State.”

Gerald Klas and Scott Miller both
turned in fine efforts. Klas was in fifth
place after the first two miles but the fast
pace took its toll and he wound up a solid
eleventh in 25:44.

Klas, who injured his foot two weeks
ago against Appalachian, looks to be in
great shape for the upcoming conference
meet.

Miller finished 20th in 26:13, an
exceptional run considering his freshman
status.

Jerry Hillard of ECU finished 30th in
26:30 and rounding out ECU’s scoring
was Steve Michael’s 58th place in 27:50.

The top ten finishers were: 1. Tony
Waldrop (UNC) 24:10.8; 2. Steve Wheeler
(Duke) 24:21; 3. Scott Eden (Duke)
24:27: 4. Victor Elk (Pembroke) 25:05;
5. Dave Hamilton (UNC) 25:11; 6. Reed
Mayer (Duke) 25:27; 7. Ed Rigsby (ECU)
25:28: 8. Jim Wilkins (N.C. State) 25:31;
9. Bob Wilson (N.C. State) 25:37; 10.
Mike Carcia (UNC) 25: 42.

In team scoring Duke finished first,
but they were hard pressed by UNC. Duke
was running without its top runner,
Olympian Bob Wheeler, who was out with
a virus.

Team Scoring went as follows: 1.
Duke, 37; 2. UNC, 44; 3. Pembroke,
109; 4. East Carolina, 118; 5. N.C.
State, 120; 6. Brevard, 179; 7. Western
Carolina, 181; 8. Appalachian, 194;
9. Wake Forest, 232; 10. High Point,

302.
East Carolina next travels to Furman
Univ. at Greenville, S.C. for the Southern

Conference Championships.

Club gridders meet CPCC

Sporting a three game winning streak,
and a 51 record, the ECU club football
team will meet Central Piedmont
Community College on Saturday after-
noon at 2 p.m. on the varsity practice
field. CPCC looms as the Buc’s toughest
foe this year in their quest for a third
league championship.

The clubbers were awarded a victory
last weekend when UNC-C was unable to
meet the scheduled game time.

The Pirates on offense have averaged
over 30 points a game. The offense is led
by quarterback Dennis Lynch and his
brother Mike. Denny has hit for 13
touchdowns, six to Mike, while
completing 60 per cent of his
passes. Sam Derence provides excellent
help as back up quarterback.

A small, but experienced offensive line
led by Chip “Chumley” Overman, John
Evans and Neal Peterson, provide the
blocking for backs Rick McKay, Mike
Richardson and Terry Ramos.

The Buc’s defense has limited their
opponents to a mere 40 points in six
contests. The defensive line, averaging
225 pounds, is anchored by Phil Platania
and John McMillian.

Chuck Maxwell, John Masotti and
Mike Weirich man a secondary which
finally seems set after many injuries.

The top defensive performer is
linebacker John “Yank” Pew. Pew has

stolen seven passes this season and he
has a knack for being in the right place at

the right time.
The club urges all students to attend

Saturday’s game. Admission is free of
charge.

Intramurals

Mike Deutsch of Kappa Alpha walked
away with top honors in the intramural
badminton tournament held recently.
Deutsch bested Leo Derrick of Kappa
Sigma in the finals. Other high finishers
included Tom Ward of Sigma Phi Epsilon
and Sam Byer of Kappa Sigma.

Intramural football playoffs are
scheduled to begin Tuesday with the top
three teams in each league competing for
the campus crown. Although there is no
clear-cut favorite in the field of 24 teams,
several teams bear watching. These
include fraternity powers Kappa Sigma
and Pi Kappa Phi, the independent Flying
Kaboobies, and the Sweat Hogs, Crabs,
and Eye Dotters from the dorm leagues.

Basketball rosters are due November
9. Roster forms may be picked up at the
intramural office, 164 Minges.

Tar Heels slip by Pirates

By DAVE ENGLERT
Assistant Sports Editor

CHAPEL HILL --“If there is one thing |
wanted to happen here at Carolina, it’s
that | wanted them to respect us, because
no one ever has. And if there is anyone
who doesn’t respect us now, well, he
ought to see a doctor.” Those are the
words of Pirate head coach Sonny Randle
following the stunning loss to the Tar
Heels Saturday by the score of 28-27.

It was a game that will be talked about
for years and one that will go down as one
of the most bitter defeats in East Carolina
history.

We'll never know, only wonder, if
maybe that safety should have been a
touchdown, if Stan Eure really caught that
ball for a touchdown and was forced out
in midair, if we would have scored instead
of fumbling on that great third quarter
drive, if it would have been different had
the timekeeper not lost 16 seconds by
letting the clock run on a UNC
conversion, if making all our extra points
would have won the game, and if that
pass interference call hadn't been made
like we all know it should not have been.

The Tar Heels got off to a quick 7-0
lead before the Pirates scored a
safety. When asked if this was the
emotional lift ECU needed, coach Randle
replied this way: “We didn’t need an
emotional lift today. We had = an
emotional lift getting off the bus here
yesterday. That safety that got us started
was certainly a big play.”

In the third quarter, after the Bucs had
piled up a 21-7 half-time margin, a
potentially game-clinching scoring drive
came to an abrupt halt. ECU had picked
up four consecutive first downs on key
third down situations in marching from
the ECU 14 to the UNC 19, only to have
Carl Summerel! fumble.

“If you had to single out one play, I'd
say that was the tuming point,”
commented coach Randle. “You could
call it a team breakdown. Summerell
fumbled but you can't fault Carl. As for
who to blame, I’d rather not say. Put the
blame on me.”

Carolina came back strong to tie the
game up, 21-21. But the Pirates roared
down the field and took the lead 27-21
with 3:45 left in the game.

It turned out to be a last gasp of super
effort by ECU, as coach Randle explained
after the game. “Cari Summerell called

It was incorrectly reported in last
Thursday's FOUNTAINHEAD that the
women’s field hockey team lost to Old
Dominion. They actually tied the
unofficial game 2-2. We apologize for the
error.

Volleyball

Some interested students are trying to
form a volleyball club team and they are
having a lack of interest problem.

serious club team, to eventually play
intercollegiate games, you are urged to

and Thursday evenings at 8 p.m.

timeout in that drive. He felt it was best
for the players. They were tired. | had
been having some trouble with the clock
operator. The time out Kepley called with
1:23 left was for the same reason. We
played the same people all day.”

The Tar Heels were not to be
denied. They made several big plays,
including a clutch conversion on a fourth
down situation, to come back and win the
game 28-27. A crucial play wasahighly
questionable pass interference call on the
ECU eight yard line.

According to UNC coach Bill Dooley,
“The defender (ECU's Reggie Pinkney)
was all over Waddell.” We should take
into account that it was a high pass,
Waddell (also play’s basketball for UNC)
is six foot five, Pinkney is six foot one,
and that at least one official waved the
pass incomplete while the ACC official
threw the flag.

“| asked for an explanation on that call
after they scored,” said coach Randle,
“but got none. I'll be glad to show the
film to anyone in America. In a situation
like that both individuals are entitled to
the ball.”

Later he commented, “it’s a judgement
call. | don't think that one play beat us.”

Two missed extra points cost the
Pirates dearly in the end. “One was
blocked and the other was due to a lack of
concentration,” according to Randle.
“There’s no excuse for the one that was
blocked. We had one blocked a week
ago. | guarantee you it will not happen
next week.”

One reporter, obviously not a regular
follower of the Pirates was ignorant
enough to ask coach Randle after the
game if he thought that this game had
tumed the East Carolina program around,
and that now there was not that much
different between ECU and the ACC
schools.

Randle, in response, threw up his
hands in disbelief. “There's not any need
to talk about it if that’s the way you
feel. I'll tell you what, go talk to Homer
Rice (UNC athletic director) and then go
talk about our program to Clarence
Stasavich (ECU athletic director). Then
see what you think.”

The Pirate fans, close to 10,000
strong, gave the team and emotional
standing ovation at the end of the game.

“We're indebted to the fans,” said
coach Randle. “We wouldn't do as well
without them. The better we play, the
more emotion it generates.”

Not to be forgotten is a new Pirate
record. Jim Woody booted a 43 yard field
goal in the first quarter, erasing the old
mark, a 42 yarder, set last year by Ricky
McLester against Richmond.
