Follow up on page twelve ECU REIGNED SUPREME in Southern Conference Entrance policy changes ECU has recently announced policy changes regarding admissions to the University which officials said will tend to implement a major recommendation of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education Immediate effect of the changes will be to admit about 200 applicants who have not met all of the existing admission requirements. Officials said courses will be provided to assist these students in removing the deficiencies Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, Chancellor, released a formal statement explaining the policy changes in relation to the Carnegie Commission report and ECU's position. The text of the chancellor's statement follows: “We have decided at ECU to open our doors to about 200 promising students who have not met all of our admission requirements and to provide courses to assist them in removing the deficiencies that have caused them not to meet those requirements. Often the deficiency is a poor score on standardized tests. “ECU takes this action in the furtherance of its commitment to serve the people of this area in accordance with recent recommendations of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Ed- ucation.” “In one of its main recommendations, following six years of study, the Carnegie Commission charged institutions of higher education as follows: ‘ ‘Give aggresive leadership to the achievement of equality of opportunity through higher education-seeking out talent wherever it may be found, providing remedial work to overcome past deficiencies where necessary, caring for the cultural interests of new groups of students “This recommendation of the Commis- sion ‘rings a bell’ for us. It translates freely into our motto ‘to Serve.’ “To carry out this new effort we have recently made some policy changes and we have developed plans for providing remediai work where it will be needed. In an important step, our Faculty Senate recommended, and the executive commit- tee of our Board of Trustees approved, the discontinuance of high school units in a foreign language aS a requirement for admission to the University. This action was taken in recognition of the fact that good students do not always take foreign language in high school.” “However, | should make it clear that we wish high school students wold take foreign language. | should also empha- size that this action does not discontinue instruction in foreign languages at the University. Many students wil! still find foreign language study useful to their career goals and students electing to earn a liberal arts degree, as opposed to a teacher education or professional degree, will still have to take foreign languages after they come to college “We have also made plaris to expand the scope of our past practice of accepting a few students each year who did not meet our admission requirements if they were recommended by their high school guidance counsellors. This pro- gram has been open to only a few students in the past because we did not have the resources to provide these students with assistance in removing their deficiencies. We are now ‘tooling up’ to offer remedial sections in history, English and mathematics and to provide a thorough program to assist those who have reading deficiencies. We will also set up introductory classes in the various See “Admissions” on page 4. football for the second straight year, Dut stil! no nl XO9 AND AG drinks in 1 hours--from e (SSLLIAS SSS ISS IAS SSSS. Four face drug rap Several ECU students have been arrested as a result of recent drug raids. Four male residents are now facing high bonds and felony charges A raid on second floor Aycock Dorm resulted in the arrest of one student who was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, also with possession of cocaine. According to Sheriff Ralph Tyson, approximately one pound of marijuana and nearly $300 worth of cocaine were confiscated by the arresting officers. Bond was set at $5,000 Three students from 4th floor Aycock Dorm were arrested for possession of marijuana, hashish, THC, a stainless steel syringe and smoking paraphenalia. Each has been placed on $1,000 bond. Since more than five grams of marijuana was found, each student is charged with a felony For what it’s worth (CPS-ZNS)--For whatever it’s worth, comedian Jackie Gleason} says that Richard Nixon holds his liquor better than any person Gleason has ever met : Gleason told a reporter that he once met with Nixon over a Florida golf 960's.

According to Dr. Trenton Davis, there are many motivations for the concern about our environment—wildlife, recre- ation, aesthetics, resourse conservation and the like-and this concern heavily influences the actual survival of man. Because of this, the Environmental Health program here prepares people to work in official and private agencies which are striving to study and preserve the favorable conditions which we have today There are presently 48 students officially enrolled in ECU's program, most of them being North Carolinians. Fifteen percent of them are women who will probably meet some discrimination when they go looking for a job. Environmental Health has been considered primarily a field for males in the past the the sex bias is still very present now. In a survey of nine southern states, most industries based this discrimination on excessive supervision, salary rates and insufficient educational backgrounds Dr. Davis believes, however, that this will eventually disappear because women are trained as well as men and are as capable of work in this field. In North Carolina, jobs held by people with a degree in Environmental Health may carry a number of responsibilities. Some of these include the maintenance of shellfish and crustaceans (being sure they are pure enough for human consumption), inspection and grading of public restaurants, cleanliness of public bathing sites, and septic tank installations. Practitioners work in connection with regulatory agents such as local and state health departments. In the past, these agencies hired untrained personnel and had to train them before they could work. Now that these programs of Environmental Health have been established, the agencies save a great deal of time and money. _ DR. TRENTON DAVIS Students interested in this particular field may enter the University at the freshman level with a declared major. These applicants are carefully considered and decided upon by the Admission Committee. At graduation, they receive a Baccalaureate Degree in Environmental Health. Currently, ECU has the only program of this type in the state. According to Dr. Davis , there are only seven schools in the US accredited by the National Environ- mental Health Association and he hopes “that we become number 8.” 2 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 19/29 NOV. 1973 news PiAISHPLASHFIASHFIASHFIASHFASH Maternity course Couples who desire better understand- ing of the maternity cycle and care of newborn infants are invited to enroll in a special course to be offered Tuesday evenings beginning Dec. 4 by the ECU Division of Continuing Education.

Timmons, a neuro- surgeon and professor of Surgery at the ECU School of Medicine will discuss that painful symptom, the headache, when he lectures to the public Thursday, November 29 at ECU. His lecture entitled: ‘Headache: Treatment and Mistreatment” is sche- duled for 7:30 p.m. in the Allied Health Building at Charles Street and 264 by-pass in Greenville. Dr. Timmons is the third in a series of public lecturers sponsored by the ECU School of Medicine and the Department of Pathology in an effort to give the general public a better understanding of medicine. Dr. Abdullah Fatteh, chairman of the Department of Pathology at ECU described Dr. Timmons as an expert in the diseases of the nervous system. “| believe that Dr. Timmons’ lecture will be a great contribution because he will outline the various causes of headache and explain how the headache could be mistreated with disastrous results,” he said. Dr. Fatteh explained that the headache is an extremely common symptom that may result from trivial factors such as tension, over-work, etc. But he noted that an organic disease may be responsible for a headache. “It is important to recognize the true cause of headache so that the proper treatment can be instituted,” he said. Prior to joining the ECU School of Medicine and establishing private practice in Greenville in 1971, Dr. Timmons was associate professor of Surgery (Neuro- surgery) at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. He is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Medical School. Feces} a —————— Contents: ADMISSIONS CHANGE. .. .. .page 1 NEWS FLASHES.....

Alpha Kappa Alpha was the first Greek service sorority established by Black women. The sorority was founded in 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Since 1911 it has been incorporated in service to all mankind. Cynthia Newby was the first general member of AKA on ECU's campus. The other sorors were initiated under the direction of the Lota Kappa Omega graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in Greenville. Theta Alpha charter members are Faye, Bellamy, Zoe Davidson, Gloria Fisher, Mary Fisher, Janice Hobbs and Lena Lee, Debbye McCoy, Micki Manley, Annie Morris, Cynthia Newby, Mildred Ramsey, Willie Settle and Shirley Sma'lwood.

Food stamps: ‘students are eligible” By NANCY LONGWORTH Staff Writer The income limit as of January 1974 will be raised to compensate for the rise in the cost of living. Net income is computed by subtracting monthly expenditures from gross income. Expenditures are bills such as tuition, fees, medical bills, rent, utilities, etc. Income includes monetary gifts, scholarships, grants, wages, savings, etc. To apply for food stamps students should go to the Food Stamp Center in the Social Sciences building on Johnson St. Mrs. Heindenreich suggests that the middle of theis month would be a good time for students to apply for next quarter. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students in boarding homes, which includes dormitories, are ineligible. : When you come to apply individually or for a household, to save time the following items are necessary: each individual’s parent’s name and address ; latest bank statements (checking and savings); utility, water, telephone and rent receipts; tuition and fees receipt; medical expenses; stocks oF bond dividends, etc. One individual is designated head of the household. “He or she is legally responsible for the validity of all information on the application,” says Mrs. Heindenreich. Once the initial forms have been completed they are processed. Then the cost of the stamps is determined. Any change in income of anyone in the sm reported immediately to the department. At the beginning of each quarter eligibility is re-established. Food stamps are used just like currency except for the fact that certain be purchased with them. They will not buy alcoholic beverages, pet food, household items, imported food, tobacco, bottle deposits and soaps. Exact change is required as money will bot be exchanged for stamps. Also upon loss food stamps generally cannot be replaced. items cannot When asked if students cause any special problems for the program Mrs. Heindenreich replied, “No, we are always happy to help students. Sometimes, though, students as well applicants are perturbed by the number and extent of questions we must ask. These questions are necessary so that we may give you efficient and effective service,” said Mrs. Heindenreich. All information given is kept in the strictest confidence. Food stamps are accepted by most all the stores in the Greenville area. Some of the comments by students now receiving food stamps were: “They are a good way to fight inflation of food prices and insure you a good diet for the quarter.” Another student said, “It is money spent thus reducing impulsive buying that often leaves you starving at the end of the quarter.” These students felt that while it does take time to apply that the benefits of the program were well worth it.

Eligibility Specialist Supervisor for the Pitt County Department of Social Services Food Stamps Center, Mrs. Evelyn Heindenreich, says, “that parents claiming students as income tax deductions does not render the student ineligible.” In October 1973 there were 1288 households with a total of 4257 persons receiving food stamps in Pitt County. Nine of these households with a total of twelve persons were students active in the program. Four more households were in the process of acquiring food stamps. The main purpose of foods stamps is io reduce the amount of money a low income household must spend on food. The quanity of food stamps a household receives depends on the number of persons living in that house. The amount that an individual or individuals must pay for the stamps is determined by their net monthly income. Below is a chart indicating the maximum amount of monthly net income a family not on public assistance may have and be eligible for food stamps. By SUSAN SHERMAN Staff Writer The physical safety of each student on the ECU campus is the concern of the administration, _ infirmary staff and faculty. After several incidents of students becoming ill while in class, several people have expressed the need for the posting of emergency procedure charts in each classroom building, Medic-alert tags, and informing professors of any large scale health problems which concem his students. These safety measures would aid in quick responsive treatment of students during emergencies. Students who have epilepsy, emphy- sema, diabetes, chronic heart disease, Or frequent astham attacks will wear these Medic-alert tags. The tags are inexpen- sive and can be ordered for students wishing to possess them. The address for ordering these taas is: Medic-alert Foundation International, Terlock. Califor- nia 95380. Mr. Walter N. (Skeet)Creekmore, one of the professors expressing concem in the subject of student safety, believes that each classroom building should have it's own list of emergency aids. These lists should be prominently displayed at several locations within the building. He believes that this will reduce the panic in emergency situations and prevent the wasting of valuable time. Austin is the only building on campus which. now prominently displays emergency pro- cedure notices. Each notice tells the student what to do in an emergency and what procedure to follow. It also tells the student who NOT TO CALL. This may save valuable time in emergencies. Mr. Creekmore suggested that safety measures within classroom buildings should also include a first aid kit and an oxygen tank to be used if necessary. These items, when used promptly and properly, would be important in giving aid in emergency situations. Efficiency and speed in emergency situations could be aided by informing the instructor of any large scale health problems which exist conceming his ‘students. This information would provide Students will these emergencies by knowing how to assist be able to help the most in this area. He belives that the students will more readily: suggestions from other students than having them posted as administrative policies. If posted by the administration, the students may regard each precaution simply as “another dumb rule”, instead of as the help it could become. The safety and protection of students should be the concern of each individual associated with ECU. The precautionary measures, if taken seriously, could help save YOUR life. household post processing must be A os 4 Co-ed dorm Marijuana and hashish study shows ane t ‘Iittle or no ill effects’ from smoking (CPS)-Two studies on the long-term effects of marijuana and hashish smoking have determined that over a period of years, smoking pot has little or no ill effects. The marijuana study, published last month by Medical Tribune, was conducted by Dr. Vera Rubin of New York on heavy pot smokers in Jamaica during 1970 and 1971. Rubin concluded there are no ill effects—physically, mentally, or psychologically—from heavy pot smoking over a period of years. Rubin studied 30 non-smoking Jamaicans, and 30 others who had smoked the equivalent of 17 1/2 years. A second team of researchers, who were not told which group was the control group, gave all the subjects various mental, physical and psychological tests. This team found that long term marijuana cause any changes in blood pressure or heart activity; show any evidence of brain activity changes induced by pot smoking; cause any signigicant personality differences between smokers and non-smokers; or produce any other mental or physical changes. The study was financed by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) with a $158,000 grant, and was tumed over to the Institute in February, 1972. The fact that the report was not released until last month created speculation that the report had been supressed. An NIMH spokesman re- sponded saying, “That suggestion, if you'll pardon the expression, is BS.” He explained the reason for the delay was, “because the press showed very little interest in it.” The spokesman conceded, however, that if the report had concluded that marijuana had harmful effects, then “somebody high in the Nixon adminis- tration would have announced the findings the next day.” The hashish study was performed in Greece by Dr. C. Stefanis of the Athens National Medical School. Stefanis select- ed 31 men who had smoked an average of eight grams of hashish daily over a period of 19 years. After subjecting the men to 1{Q, medical and EEG tests, Stefanis concluded there was very little evidence of medical changes in any of the 31 men. What little change there was, Stefanis speculated, may have been due to the fact that all the subjects were heavy alcohol drinkers and tobacco smokers. Stefanis also discovered the wives of the subjects said they liked their hudbands better when their husbands were stoned. moking does not: Admissions major areas for these students. Our plan is to place students admitted on the basis in these special classes, to limit the number of quarter hours that they can attempt during their freshman year and to provide faculty and student assistance to these students until their study habits have been improved and their deficiencies have been removed. They will receive college credit while this process is going one. We hope that the lighter course load of the freshman year can be made up by summer work or slightly heavier course loads in the remaining three years. In this way these students can expect to be graduated on schedule.” “lt want to emphasize that no stigma will be attached to these students Continued from page 1. because they do not meet all of our admission requirements. We believe, with the Carnegie Commission, that their problem with the standardized tests is more a result of their deprived environment than their intellectual capacity. Our plan of action is to open up their intellectual capacity through a year of intensive assistance and dedicated teaching.” “We regard these prospective students not at ‘high risks’ or ‘poor risks’, but as ‘good risks’. They are like all students; they have the potential to earn a bachelor’s degree if that potential is properly nurtured and developed and if they work hard. Like all other students they have the potential to fail. If some of them fail we will be regretful, as we always are when some of our students fail. But in this case we literally intend to give it ‘a good college try’, and we are confident that these students will march forth one day and join the others we have sent forth to follow careers that are self-fulfilling to themselves and produc- tive for the society that sponsored their education.” “Our Dean of Admissions will be writing to high school counselors about this new program. We hope that they will respond with the same enthusiasm that we have in initiating it.” ECU presents a ‘lighthearted hippy MITCHELL BOWEN (Berger) clowns around in “Hair” rehersal. The curly, fuzzy, shaggy, ratty, shining, gleaming, streaming, knotted, twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, bangled, tangled and spangled phenome- ‘non called HAIR is coming to ECU on December 5th at McGinnis Auditorium. A non-plot musical, presenting an attitude, a climate, an abundance of incidents, but no straight story-line, HAIR is the famous speed-marketed tribute to the life and times of hippie protest. It ran over four years on Broadway and more than five in London, and has been seen by 26 million theatregoers the world over. Beyond its accurate recording of scene, its grip on an attitude of our times, HAIR is more nctable for its exuberant electronic-jazzed score which has very witty and biting lyrics. The music scales a variety of mood from the hymnal chant of “I Got Life” to a weirdly other-worldly echo of “Walking in Space,” an ode to the blissful joys of smoking pot. There are two songs, “Hare Krishna” and “Aquarius”, keyed to the mysticism of contemplative peace. The title tune is a youthful anthem in which hair is seen as a personal protest against all that is neat, good, measured, conventional and acceptable. The essen- tial merit of HAIR was established as its authentic voice of — taboo-busting, war-hating hippie youth rang out for the first time in a legitimate New York theatre. HAIR has it all. from the sweetly young faith in four-letter words to a By SUSAN QUINN Staff Writer The Board of Trustees recently passed proposals for an additional coed dormitory and having faculty pay a five dollar parking fee. The Board of Trustees decided that faculty and staff members will have to pay a five dollar parking fee. According. to SGA president Bill Bodenhamer, this proposal completed the last platform of his campaign. The upkeep and construction of parking areas are funded by parking fees and it is only reasonable that staff pay their share of these funds, he said. Also at the meeting a proposal for opening another coed dormitory was passed. Slay Dorm will be the new coed dorm beginning Fall quarter 1974. The ad- ditional coed dorm will be for private rooms only. The dorm will be for single rooms only in an effort to open a dorm that was previously closed for financial reasons and to localize the private room owners in one building rather than housing them all over campus. Governing regulations will be the same as those in the present coed dorm. Army has no takers (CPS)--Army recruiters were a_ little worried when the ad they ran in the Fall River, Massachusetts newspaper offered a bonus of $15,000 i1stead of $1500 for any young man who signed up for four years in the infantry, artillery or armored branches. The figure was a typographical error but it didn’t matter. There was not a single response to the ad, although unemployment there is 7.2 percent, far above the national average. spoof: barefoot, shaggy-headed troglodytes of HAIR offer up life as if out of an inexhaustible reservoir of youth and high spirits. Edgar Loessin is directing HAIR with Mavis Ray doing the choreography. Robert T. Williams is designing the lights and sets with Carol H. Beule designing the costumes.

In this first Winter issue, Fountainhead continues its stepped-up coverage of ws with stories on recent drug arrests, admissions policy changes, and Gre oreiental Health. A major future project includes an in-depth study of the student-teacher evaluation system at ECU: what it’s good for, who makes use of it, and what its future seems to be. Also upcoming is coverage of the energy crisis as it pertains to Greenville, a profile of the now-existing Publications Board and numerous reviews culled by our very eager reviews editor and his magic staff. This particular issue also boasts an obviously-massive Forum which has bumped Jack Anderson out for this week. (Keep those letterslettersletters coming in.) Aside from the frivolity and grand plans, et al: we're pretty confident at this point, hope you feel the same about yourselves, and will do what we can to make the legendarily blah Winter Quarter a virtual paradise, a carnival, a garden of excitement, a itable eighth wonder. (Insert tongue in cheek when you hear this tone). “ pli thought, there may be no cure for Winter Quarter.

Concert reply Editor's note: The following is in reply to a letter signed “Disgusted Students” which appeared in the Nov. 8 issue, complaining about entertainment quality on campus. Dear “Disgusted Students”, The reason why Elon College has an advantage over ECU in booking pop acts is for a simple geographical reason. Being located between Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, and Winston- Salem, Elon is in an excellent position to book major acts on evenings when the act needs a fill-in date. In contrast, ECU is located in a small rural town in an unpopulated area of the state, and any act that comes here must necessarily inconvenience itself to get here. If | may correct your statements; Rod Stewart has played only two dates in North Carolina in recent years at Duke and in Charlotte, and the Doobie Brothers cancelled all their southern dates when they cancelled ours. The problem in booking major concerts is not an internal one; the fact of the matter is that the Popular Entertainment Committee is finding itself suffering from major changes that have been occuring in the music business nation-wide. Given this introduction let me give you a few factors that have entered into the present difficulties. 1. Prices for acts have risen. Several years ago, top name nationally known acts could be purchased in the $7,000 to $15,000 price range. At present $25,000 is generally a minimal fee for groups like Faces, Jethro Tull and the Allman Brothers. 2. The acts generally take 60-70 per cent of each ticket, so the group prefers to play in large coliseums like the Charlotte Coliseum, Greensboro Coliseum, the Spectrum, etc., where more tickets are sold. To compound the problem, in recent years more and more cities are building these facilities so college concert halls generally aren't needed. 3. The Student Union is suffering from competition with professional promoters. A promoter who does $5 million of business a year has a better bargaining position than we do when we only put on five or six shows a year. For instance, the Allman Brothers would cost the Student Union $50,000 whereas a promoter can buy a number of dates for perhaps half that price. In addition, the agencies prefer to deal with promoters because ’ they save the agent the trouble of working out the show-time, routing, — ticket pricings, and similar details. 4. AS mentioned earlier, ECU is geographically situated in a rural locale, far from major urban centers, with poor highway access, and no immediate airport facilties. It’s a real problem for the acts to get here, and frequently they feel that ECU is simply not worth the trouble. 5. Colleges are not where money-making concerts are held because the sponsors are student committees who operate on a break even basis rather than on a profit-making basis. As a result, student ticket prices are low, and the act receives less money. These are the handicaps we've working under when we attempt to book major pop acts, so | hope I've answered some of your questions. If you would like to discuss the matter in greater detail or have some solutions, drop by Room 213 in Wright Annex; I'd appreciate your feedback. Sincerely, Gibert Kennedy Student Union President Tobacco v. heat To Fountainhead: As | think of the cold showers ahead and cold evenings in bed because of the impending fuel shortages, | ask myself: “How much fuel is wasted by my extravagance in heating and driving, etc.?” or worse yet “How much is wasted by my bad habits-namely smokiny?” | bug myself by thinking of the outrageous amount of fuel used to plant, maintain, fertilize, cure and manufacture tobacco. Why don't | do something about it. Maybe we can do something, or, are there to many voters like myself that smoke and too many districts dependent on tobacco and tobacco products to suggest negative legislation on the subject. | don’t know. As many voters and politicians are dependent on tobacco, so is the economy (local and national). It would be unwise therefore to oust tobacco without some compensatory action to the labor and manufacturing plants involved. One sug- gestion is reverting the plants to the manufacturing of fuel from garbage or any one of a hundred necessary businesses. (Government subsidy would obviously be needed at first, but perhaps all the wasted resources and capitol in the tobacco would just be rechanneled.) Over the years a net gain in the economy is very possible. Please think about this and write any suggestions, comments or facts to the Fountainhead or myself conceming anything mentioned. Donald C.

FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 19/29 NOV. 1973 7 ECU rapped To Fountainhead : Enclosed is an editorial | have written concerning East Carolina’s recent withdrawal of its name as a candidate to compete in the Tangerine Bowl. | wrote this editorial knowing beforehand | would mail it to you and having high hopes that you would publish it in your school newspaper, The Fountainhead. | do not believe it attacks Coach Randle or the football team with great criticism, but it does get my point over. | would appreciate you and your staff reading my letter and hope you may agree with Some of my points. | also believe others may agree with my letter. Please consider it for publication in the Fountainhead. Sincerely yours, Peter Carroll NCSU student Senior Editor's note: The following commentary was received with the above cover letter. The statement made by Coach Sonny Randle that ‘If ECU doesn’t go to a bowl game this year, then there is something wrong with the bowl pickers,” should be changed to “...there is something wrong with Coach Randle and his Pirates.” Coach Randle doesn’t recall issuing an ultimatum, but no matter what anyone says, Randle did pressure the Tangerine Bowl oficials into making an early decision, actually making it the same Monday ECU withdrew its name. Loyal ECU fans may never know how detrimental Coach Randie’s behavior was on the Tangerine Bowls’ decision to ask the University of Florida, fnstead of ECU. to play against Miami of Ohio. Even Tangerine Sports Association President Will Geiger remarked before ECU's withdrawal, “ECU has a strong chance now since Tampa was beaten Saturday.” And if the University of Florida loses to the University of Miami this Saturday, their 5-5 record sure would not be as impressive as ECU's 9-2 record. So why didn’t Randle refrain from hurrying bow! officials and just wait until Saturday and maybe accept a Tangerine Bow! bid? ECU should have realized they were one of a few teams being considered and should have waited if it had really wanted a bow! game. But then everyone knows the Pirates voted unanimously to all go home for Thanksgiving and get fat off of turkey. To Fountainhead : Oh come on ECU students. I'm tired of hearing people complain about the cold. It makes me angry. It isn't cold yet! What's this about retreating to a blanket and mattress? It’s merely a matter of acclimatizing yourself. A person can operate comfortably at 50-60 degrees if only he will permit himself to become adjusted. And that doesn't happen over night. Wear sensible clothes. Not these stylish flimsey shoes. Have your girls who are cold thought about wearing yours? | discovered long ago how comfortable long handles made life; why | don't go anywhere without mine. This may or may not be a rough winter heat wise but it sure won't hurt us softies to tolerate a little cool weather. Part of the problem of course is poor circulation. EXERCISE. The better the bloodflow the warmer the body. You can also be cold if you overdress. Any hiker knows that sweating is bad in cold weather. The moisture only makes you colder. Would you believe it’s warmer sleeping without clothes on than with them? Your body has a_ natural thermostat that works if you don't smother it. If you're cold in bed sleep with someone but if you can’t solve your problem that way try the old trick of sleeping in a knit cap. Believe me the heat conserved that way helps a great deal. | haven't even turned on the heat in my place yet. | know | can be comfortable just by giving myself time. Try it. There may be a time when there is no heat to turn on, what then? Survival of the fittest you know. Sincerely, Diana Mills Stolen art To Fountainhead: | am not in the habit of writing to a newspaper, but at the moment it seems my only rational altemative, and do hope you will print my letter. My final project for my design 15 course (yes, | am a mere freshman art major) was to do a painting, any size, shape or color, but it had to deal largely with organic nature. | stretched a 2B X 24” canvas, did a painting in shades of gold, brown, and black of a farm with three large wheat pods in the foreground. | spent an ungodly amount of time on it because | had planned to give it to my father for Xmas. But, | retumed Monday, Nov. 26 to retrieve the painting and the room was locked. | spent all day Tuesday fighting drop-add, and returned again on Wednesday, Nov. 28 to try again. There were only a few of my classes’ projects remaining, and unfortunately mine was not among them. ! will ASSUME someone picked it up by mistake. (I hate people that steal art) And desperately need the painting back. No questions asked! If anyone has any information concerning its whereabouts, | would be eternally grateful. | don’t have the time to do another one between now and Christmas, and really can’t afford to buy a gift.

Joette Abeyounis Jester again To Fountainhead : In my. wanderings over the campus searching for a spot to mend my heart, | hapened to bump into Dr. Jenkins. He, too, was looking a bit sad what with no medical school, no liquor-by-the-drink, except in his box at Ficklen Sradium, and that horrid loss to Carolina still reddening his neck. The good Dr. walked along with me for a while, and before long we were like old friends, both drowning in our misery. When we passed Joyner Library, Dr. Jenkins nearly went into dream and incant over a few precious copies of the AMA joumal, but reason prevailed. We then went over to this office to peruse the latest issue of the “Sayings of Jim Hunt”, two paragraphs of near flawless eridition. Finally, Leo asked me about a vicious rumor circulating through these halls of knowledge (Braxton, that is). In order to preserve my own life, | must deny ever comparing the Kappa Alphas to a band of Neanderthalic mongrels nurtured on beer and the salty juices of young southemn belles. Never have | compared those fine southern men, stoop-shouldered from the weight of great intellectual loads to mere curs in heated pursuit of furry game. But if | did offer such a comparison, it would be in this way. The KA’s stagger to class wearing confederate flags em broidered across their eyes. | suppose the attraction to that symbol of stupidity lies in the “bats”, but although beer and liquor-faced Cokes provide an escape from his stupidity one drunk KA, unfortunately, is as bad as two sober ones, if sober ones can be found. Hence, generally, these KA’s become mere brutes roaming the campus with Greek letters for crutches. Like the Neanderthals, they worship the ground, the sky, all nature and fertilize the earth with burning vomit spewed forth with all the aplomb of a Tri-Deit pledge. So, | must deny spreading rumors of impropriety about the Kappa Alphas. In fact, | hope that they exhume Jeff Davis and display his rotten body for all the world to see the end of southern gentlemen . The KA pledges could lay their yellow-stained jocks on this new southem shrine, and in that stinking decayed body, we could all see the soul of a true KA. Yours humbly, M.D. Hickson, Jr. (Court Jester) Fond farewell To Fountainhead: | won't be here winter quarter and I’m not really sure whether I'll be back spring quarter or not.

For you people staying: East Carolina is a good place with good people. Take advantage of the opportunities here, both in class and outside. These words cannot really say what I'd like for them to, not as much as an action, a deed, a touch or a hug, but they will have to do. Sincerely, Crazy L.

Dickey.. the superpoet’and superpersonality JAMES DICKEY IN GREENVILLE, N.C. -William Bloodworth James Dickey, novelist, film writer, actor, personality cum laude, and poet, visited East Carolina University on November 12 and 13. Feeling eternally seventeen and garbed vaguely in the tradition of Walt Whitman, the author of “Deliverance” visited English classes, offered his comments on poetry and on “Deliverance” to interested students and faculty, read his work to an aduience in Wright Auditorium, and conducted a poetry workshop the following morning before submitting to mewsmen who wanted to know what he thought about his novel being banned and bumed in North Dakota. (He felt that Hitler had risen from the dead.) Once, when asked, “Don’t you find being a public figure...very difficult?” Dickey replied, “I certainly do, and if anything does me in it’s going to be that!” His appearance here revealed the reason for Dickey’s statement: he works hard at being a Public Poet. The “New Republic” has called him “Superpoet”, and he does a good job in the role, complete with touches of alcohol, showmanship and seriousness. If you had been around in the English building on Monday morning, November 12, you might have noticed the style of a Superpoet as he sat perched on a chair balanced on a dest in front of and above a classroom of somewhat — uncertain admirers. (But he didn’t fall off.) Or, if you had still been around that afternoon, you would have noticed the unshaved, bulbous-when-at-rest face still at work here and there, talking poetry, “Deliverance”, Bert Reynolds, poetry, Jon Voight, and poetry to one and all. And if by chance you had looked under the wide brim of the safari hat expecting to see sure signs of boredom or unfocused expressions of mere duty in the shaded blue eyes, you would have been disappointed. At Dickey’s reading that night you could have heard preliminary rumors of inebriation and sensed a renewed concern for the poet's bodily balance. But the man showed up, leaned only a little on the lectern, and spoke with deep Georgia Clarity. The firmest impression that Dickey made that night was that he knows what he’s up to. And what he’s up to, quite simply, is the gospel of poetry. “Poetry,” he said once in a “Mademoiselle interview, “is just about the last repository of language, of depth language, where you try to offer something to another person, something of yourself, some insights that you've had, some phrase that you think is meaninfrul or life-quickening in some way.” Poetry, that is, is an alternative to the manipulating words of our time, which come too often from the mouths of advertising agencies, computers, institu- tions, and politicians. Being eternally seventeen at his best, Dicky offered something of himself by explaining the biographical and emotional contexts of several very personal poems, and by reading his work with verve and animation. That his performance ap- proached both the maudlin and the egotistical at times didn’t seem especially important. What was important, perhaps, was the ironic combination of Dickey’s own Whitmanesque enthusiasm and an audience that would have fit into a considerably less spacious hall than Wright Auditorium. The crowd responded beyond its size, however, whenever Dickey exhibited what he has called “that electrical kind of responsiveness to things and to people out of which poetry comes, must come.” The best poem of the evening may have been “Cherrylog Road,” which evokes the felt power and sexuality of youth in a story of clandestine love in a remembered Georgia junkyard. The trans- cendent power of human responsiveness even in “the parking lot of the dead” is the theme of the powm. Its words are physical, exuberant: | held her and held her and held her, Convoyed at terrific speed By the stalled, dreaming traffic around us... As we clung, glued together, With the hooks of the seat springs Working through to catch us red-handed Amidst the gray breathless batting That burst from the seat at our backs. We left by separate doors Into the changed, other bodies Of cars, she down Cherrylog Road And | to my motorcycle Parked like the soul of the junkyard Restored, a bicycle fleshed With power, and tore off Up Highway 106, continually Drunk on the wind in my mouth, Wringing the handlebar for speed, Wild to be wreckage forever. Or perhaps it was “False Youth: Autumn. Clothes of the Age” that most enlightened the audience—this time with a’ tale of the counter-cultural style of an aging man running the gantlet of a silent majority barbershop while wearing the work POETRY festooned by eagles on the back of his jacket. After an exciting, tumbling, almost frothy reading of a white water passage from “Deliverance”, Dickey stepped off the stage, declining with a wave of the hand to participate in the expected question and answer session after his reading. Some, you could have seen, BY GUY COX were upset by this. But the Superpoet had been answering all day. At 9:18 the next morning Dickey showed up for his final Greenville appearance, a workshop in poetry sponsored by the East Carolina Poetry Forum. “Extremely impressed,” as he said he was, by local poems given to him the day before, Dickey proceeded with unusual inspiration, many smiles, and great congeniality to criticize what he had read. His chief poetic advice was that “all roads lead to form,” either traditional or organic. When the workshop was over you could have heard Dickey say to a would-be poet, “I just wish | had more time.” And at that point, before the media closed in on him for his parting pronouncements about nature (he approves of it) and book buming, you would have believed him. Temptations exhibit finesse By SUSAN QUINN Staff Writer If you were in Minges Coliseum at 8:00 p.m. November 8 you know that it wasn't “just your imagination running away with you.” The dynamic Temptations were there dressed in their flashy white and red satin and sequined costumes. The moving, grooving, Motown sound loving crowd was entertained by three female vocalists called Quite Elegants, and the Temptations. The Temptations evolved from five young Detroiters who were amateur singers and have become superstars. Melvin Franklin, Otis Williams and Dennis Edwards are original members of the group. Richard Street and Damon Harris are newcomers of the group. In an interview prior to the concert Melvin Franklin said that the Temptations Started as two cousins, Richard Street and Melvin Franklin, and a school chum, Otis Williams, going around singing Christmas carols in the neighborhood. The Temptations, one of the member groups of the original Motown sound, has recorded 21 gold records, one platinum album and 1 platinum record Franklin said. When asked about the importance of the group’s costumes and choreography, Franklin replied, “Singing is our business. Costumes and dances merely accentuate our singing.” Damon Harris designs the costumes and Charlie Atkins helps create the dances for the Temptations. Franklin said, “When | entered Minges | could feel the warmth of the crowd.” As for his opinion of entertaining in Greenville, N.C. Franklin said, “the people make the place.” “My Girl” and “Imagination” are my favorite songs we've recorded,” Franklin said.

Lynard Skvnard blasted their way into Minges with a loud! and disappointing- ly indistinctive show. Occasionally one could detect a particularly good guitar run or a well done base line but the overall performance of the band was definitely all show and no meat. Within 30 minutes after “Wet Willie” hit the stage the crowd was up out of their seats and moving. Lead singer Jimmy Hall took command of the crowd with his funky blues style-playing and singing what he calls “nasty rock ‘N’ roll”. The performance was__hard-driving and by far the most exciting one of the day.

This means that if possible we could provide the students with weekly entertainment in a mellow and relaxed atmosphere. As it stands now, the Canticle sponsors an average of two professional Coffee House acts a quarter. The Committee thus far appears to be getting a good response from the student body. We would like however to continue having professional shows but at the same time start a weekly coffee house with good local entertainment, since in the near future we will probably have our own room. The problem remains that if we are to continue with the monthly professional shows, we do not have the budget to afford talent every week. So we are seeking good local entertainment. On Friday, December 7 the Canticle will be having an open house audition night starting at 6:30 p.m. in room 201 of the Student Union. Audience is welcome. From these auditions, the best and most liked performers will be asked to perform again on Tuesday, December 11, room 201, 8:00-11:00 p.m. A token fee will be given to each performer to show you that we appreciate your time and we hope that it is as much a pleasure for you to have a good audience as it is for us to have good entertainment. If you enjoy entertaining people or know of someone who does, the Canticle is interested in having you audition.

Abandoning the deliberate style of last years team, Coach Tom Quinn has installed a fast break offense and full court pressure defense which adds up to an exciting game on the court and a few surprises for the opposition. Quinn explained this year’s strategy, “We have the talent this year to play a more aggressive game. We're going to fast break, press on defense and use ample substitutions. This will be one of the most exciting teams in the conference to watch.” The only bleak aspect of this year's team is experience. This is the youngest team in the Southern Conference. Only one player on the entire squad has ever started a game for ECU. Six of last years top eight players are gone. Three freshmen and three junior college transfers figure highly into the Pirate’s plans. Obviously anyone looking at three of the Pirates first four opponents, Duke, N.C. State and Davidson, wonder how with such inexperience the Pirates can hope to compete. Nicky White, a starter last year at forward but who will play center this year rejects this idea of inexperience. White says, “Though we're young, we have a lot of maturity which is sometimes overlooked. We have a great deal of quickness and depth this year.” Any team’s success is based on talent and East Carolina had its best year recruiting to add to the talent already present. The center position this year belongs to the aforementioned Nicky White, all 68” and 210 pounds of him. Yet compared to 7'3” Tommy Burleson of State and 7'1” Fessor Leonard of Furman, White is really a midget. Quinn comments, “Nicky will be giving up 8 inches to Burleson, yet he has a great deal more quickness. Nicky is poised, changes hands well and has had his best games in the middle. He'll compete with anybody inside.” Backing up White is 68” Larry Hunt, a teammate of State’s David Thompson at Shelby H.S. who last year was their MVP and led them to the state 4A championship. He led Shelby in both rebounding and scoring. At strong forward there is co-captain Tom Marsh and an outstanding junior college prospect in Robert Geter. Marsh was a starter until a repeat of last year's knee injury occurred last Tuesday. Marsh will play with a brace the rest of the season, and his effectiveness is still in doubt. Geter, who averaged 20.3 points and 18.4 rebounds at Southeastern Com munity College in Whiteville, N.C., last year was voted the outstanding player in his conference. The 6'6” Geter made the Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American team last year, and should greatly enhance the Pirates board strength wit etaswte At quick forward are returning lettermen Roger Atkinson, Chuck Mohn, Greg Ashorn and Al Edwards. Atkinson, a senior who stands 6’3” and the other co-captain, was a reserve forward last year who adds experience, outside scoring and rebounding to the squad. Gregg Ashorn, a 6'3” transfer from North Greenville (S.C.) Junior College, led - his team to the nationals and was named to the All-Tournament team. Chuck Mohn, a 6’5” junior, adds a fine outside jump shot to his rugged rebounding ability. Al Edwards, last year MVP on the ECU junior varsity, adds additional depth to the forward position. At wing guard East Carolina has two of the finest prospects in the conference. Reggie Lee, 63” who averaged 21 points and 9 rebounds a game at Einstein H.S. in Kensington,Maryland, brings a string of honors with him to ECU. A two time All-County, All-Metropoli- tan and last year a first team All-State selection, Lee is an excellent shooter and fierce competitor with all the tools for stardom. Another man with impressive creditals is Buzzy Braman, a 63” guard out of Springbrook H.S. in Maryland. Braman made Scholastic Magazine’s prep All-American team, and was the MVP in the Maryland State Tournament. At point guard Donnie Owens and Ken Edmonds will fight for the starting position, with Randy McCullen backing them up. Owens, a two time All-Conference player at Florida College at Temple Terrace, is an excellent floor leader who at 61” is also a fine shooter. Edmonds, a letterman last year as a sophomore, is a running guard who adds needed experience to the backcourt. With Furman and Davidson favored to win the conference, East Carolina will figure strongly in the race for the championship. With a running and pressing game opponents will find a different Pirate to handle. Coach Quinn commented, “! guarantee we'll be in better condition than any team we play. We're going to score a lot of points with our pressure defense. This group of players has desire, competive- ness and hustle and if we stay healthy we should be able to compete with anybody.” Two a day practices have molded a young bunch of players into an aggressive and hungry team, ready to take on the likes of the number two ranked team in the country.

The Pirates open the 1973-74 season at home on Friday as they take on UNC-W. Mountaineers cop SC Title Appalachian State University captured the Southern Conference Soccer Cham- pionship on Nov. 10 at Minges Field as they hung on for dear life to defeat the Pirates of East Carolina, 3-2. The Pirates, trying to make amends for a 90 loss pinned on them earlier in the year by the Mountaineers, certainly put forth their finest effort of the year. Appalachian State saw Emmanuel Uodgu give them a quick 2-0 lead with a couplé of electrifying moves to sweep past the Pirate defense. Uodgu will not be with the Mountaineers next year due to the fact that he has signed a contract to play professional soccer. With the score 2-0 early in the game, it appeared that a repeat performance of the two club’s previous contest was in store for the sparse crowd. East Carolina’s defense, led by srad Smith, got stingy and denied the numerous Mountaineer offensive attacks. Pirate goalie Bucky Moser was superb as he turned aside many _ goalward Apalachian shots with apparent ease. With ASU leading 2-0 and no help in sight, the unexpected happened to the visitors. Tom O’Shea came up with the ball from nowhere and rifled a shot past the hapless ASU goaltender with only eight seconds remaining in the half. The two clubs left the field with the Mountaineer’s lead cut in half, 2-1. When Appalachian’s Frank Kemo scored to put them up 31, things appeared to be all over for the purple and goal contingent. The Pirates did not give up by any means and Danny O’Shea, Tom's brother, came up with an unassisted tally that pulled the Bucs to within one at 3-2. Further Pirate scoring attempts were futile as Appalachian’s depth and experience closed the door and cancelled any thoughts of a soccer championship coming to Greenville. The Pirates were great on this cold Saturday morning, however there always appeared to be a white shirted (ASU) player at the right place at the right time. East Carolina, having picked up six points toward the Commissioners Cup, finished out the year with a respectable 4-5-2 season mark. They now look to next year and the hope of bringing even more pride to “Pirate Land.” Women play host fo volleyball tournament East Carolina University will host the AIAW Region Two Volleyball Tournament this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

A serious injury to co-captain Dan Monroe marred this early season action. With four first place winners and three third place finsihers, the Pirates dominated the Colgate University Open Tourney, held in Hamilton, N.Y. on November 9 and 10. “I was extremely pleased with the performance of the team as a whole,” Stated coach John Welborn. “No other team got more than one first place.” Jim Blair won at the 118 pound weight class, and co-captain Dan Monroe finished first at 126. “Danny won the trophy for being the outstanding wrestler of the tournament,” added coach Welborn. Other first place winners for the Pirates were Milt Sherman at 142, and co-captain Bill Hill at 177. Third place finishers for the Bucs included Tom Mattiott at Whitcomb at 167 and Jim Cox at 177. “Jim also won the tournament trophy for the most number of falls in the least 142, Ron: amount of time,” related Welborn. ECU faced varied competition in this tourney. Schools such as Syracuse, Springfield, Yale and the University of Buffalo sent entire teams, while there were representatives from all the New York state schools, and from colleges in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Pirates next competed in the East Stroudsburg Open Tourney, held in Stroundsburg, Pa. November 16 and 17. However, prior to this tournament, Dan Monroe suffered his injury at a practice session. “Before we left we lost one of our wrestlers--one of our best wrestlers, Danny Monroe, for the season. Danny separated his shoulder the day he was supposed to leave for East Stroudburg,” explained coach Welborn. “It has been operated on,” continued Welborn. “He will be red-shirted this season, so that he will be eligible to come back and compete next year.” Monroe had been counted on to possibly be one of the Bucs’ best wrestlers in the NCAA national tournament. “The loss of Danny will definitely hurt us on the national level and possibly on the conference level,” added the coach. “The boys are sorry to lose Danny, with his wrestling ability and leadership. He has been co-captain now for three straight years.” At East Stroudsburg, Milt Sherman was the lone Pirate grappler to capture a title. Sherman took first place at 134. Second place finishers were Jim Blair and Bill Hill, at 118 and 177 respectively. This tournament, with over 500 entries, provided a stiff challenge for the Pirate wrestlers. “The East Stroudsburg tournament is comparable to the Wilkes (Wilkes Open Tourney),” stated Welborn. “It is certainly as tough as any we go to.” East Carolina did not enter the tournament in an official capacity, as in the two other tournaments. “A Southern Conference rule barrs member teams from competing officially before December 1, but we would have finished second to AIA (Athletes in Action). They are made up of former college wrestlers, and even have some Olympians. We were the number one college team there,” asserted Welborn. “I was extremely pleased with the performance of the team,” concluded the coach. “We were competing against the best teams in the East.” Other schools competing included Slippery Rock, Montclair State, Lock Haven, Pittsburg, Ohio State, Purdue, and West Chester. The latest tournament in which the Pirates tangled was the Thanksgiving Open Wrestling Tournament. It was held in Norfolk, Va. on November 24. Seven of the ten first place finishers wore the purple and gold of ECU. They included Jim Blair at 118, Paul Ketchum at 126, Milt Sherman at 134, Tom Marriott at 142, Paul Prewitt at 158, Bill Hill at 177 and Willie Bryant at Heavyweight. Bruce Hall was second at 158, as was Ron Whitcomb at 167, Jim Cox at 177 and Mike Radford at 190. Steve Satterthwaithe was third at 150, with Jack Stortz fourth in the same weight class. Sherman was voted the “Outstanding Wrester Award” for the Tournament. Teams providing the opposition here included West Chester, William & Mary, Pembroke, N.C. State and Temple. The squad returns to the mats this weekend as they look to defend their title in the North Carolina Collegiate Championships. The action will take place in Chapel Hill Friday and Saturday. Buc Gridders snubbed again hy Tangerine Bowl There will be no tangerines for the football Pirates in Orlando this year. In circumstances which can only be described as unique, the Mid-American Conference representative, Miami of Ohio, will play the University of Florida. The site has been changed from the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando to Florida's larger home stadium in Gainsville . Last Monday, November 19, the Tangerine Bowl Committee met and decided to postpone any offering of bids until the following Monday. Teams teported to be under consideration included East Carolina, Tampa, Tulsa, Temple, and San Diego State. That night the ECU squad met and voted to ask that the school’s name be withdrawn from any further bowl consideration this year. Before this final official meeting of the year, East Carolina University Chancellor Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, Athletic Director Clarence Stasavich and Head Football Coach Sonny Randle met and voiced full support in advance of whatever decision the squad reached. “| have one principle regret,” coach Randle said following the meeting. “That is, the loyal supporters of East Carolina's championship season will not have their Randle story is premature Contrary to an Associated Press story which appeared in Wednesday's edition of ‘The News and Observer’, East Carolina University Chancellor Leo Jenkins says that “there is nothing official about a new five year contract for Head Football Coach Sonny Randle.” According to the ECU Sports Information Office, an official announce- ment will be made at a banquet honoring the football team to be held Monday night, December 3, at Chancellor Jenkins’ home. well-deserved opportunity to take a bowl trip.

We were anxious for a final decision before the ECU WIDE RECEIVER STAN EURE catches this pass from quarterback Cari Summerell in the Homecoming battle against Richmond, won by the Bucs 44-14.

It would have been difficult for the players to be kept in suspense for another week when our season ended last week.” “We had a fantastic season and | am proud of this squad to a man. We had a lot to prove when the season opened and we showed what kind of team we are.” The next day, following notification by East Carolina officials, the Tangerine Bowl extended an invitation to U. of Florida. Florida announced that they would accept. In discussing the rationale of the Tangerine Bowl decision, Athletic Director Stasavich offered this explanation. “The biggest thing was attendance. Attendance is what they are after,” said Stasavich. “They were after a school from Florida, either Tampa or U. of Florida, or possibly a Southeastern Conference school.” “I was talking to the bowl officials,” continued Stasavich. “I don’t think they were really after us-they just wanted us as a second choice.” Last season the Pirates were also in line for a Tangerine Bow! bid, only to be passed over. The situation was very similar this year. “Just letting us wait and not giving us any answers until they found out what they wanted—really, we've got too much pride for that,” stated Stasavich. Summereil cops honor East Carolina quarterback Carl Summerell has been awarded the General Douglas MacArthur Award by the Norfolk Sports Club. This honor is received annually by the Virginian who performs in an outstanding fashion while playing for a school out of state. Summerell received stiff competition for this accolade from Wayne Bullock of Notre Dame, Billy Paschall of North Carolina and others from LSU and Purdue.
