Fountainhead EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA NO. 34/12 FEB. 1974 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. Where do they go? Student fees... By SUSAN QUINN and GARY GIBSON Special to Fountainhead The following is the first part of a two part series conceming student fees - how much they are and where they go. Have you ever taken a good look at that receipt for your tuition and fees that the cashier gives you at the beginning of each quarter? If you are a dorm student you pay $117.50 room rent and $2.50 laundry fee. If you are a non-resident you pay an additional $256. Then there are three fees that everyone pays: $88 for tuition and registration, $12 for medical fees and $46 for other fees. Out of this $46 for other fees, $22 is used for debt service. According to Cliff Moore, Vice Chancellor for business affairs, each student pays $4 per quarter for indebted revenue on the student union, $7 fora Minges Coliseum debt, $3 for the north, student-side of Ficklen Stadium and $8 for the new student union. Moore said that the $22 debt service will decrease as the individual debts are paid and consequently students will pay less fees. The other $26 of students’ fees are divided as follows: Nine dollars per quarter per student goes to the athletic fund; $2.50 goes to a special fund, $2 is spent on intramurals and 50 cents is used for miscellaneous purposes; $4 is used by the ECU Union to cover expenses of entertainment; and $8.50 is used by the Student Government Association. SGA FUNDS The SGA receives approximately $240,000 in student funds each year, including summer sessions. This is a little less than $80,000 each regular quarter. When asked if this amount is a workable budget sum, Mike Ertis, SGA treasurer replied, “I think it’s too damned much. | think $50,000 a year would be more than enough.” “We have no business giving the Continued on page three.

Hobgood describes Union plans for next year Wade Hobgood, a senior art major from Wilson, has been chosen as president of the ECU Student Union for the 1974-75 school year. Hobgood is a double major in commercial art and painting and will graduate in spring of 1975. He is former chairman of the Special Concerts Committee, a position he has recently resigned to prepare for his new position as president. In a recent interview with Fountain- head, Hobgood discussed his upcoming year as president of the union. “The new officers of the Student Union will take office on May 1 and up until that time | will be working on the budget for fall quarter and trying to break down the money. Beginning in March we will select the chairmen of the different committees and following that the chairmen will choose the members of their commit- tees,” explained Hobgood. The new president discussed a few of the new programs that are planned for the Union next year. “One of the biggest jobs to be taken care of before next year is the addition of new programs to the Union. | think we have several good things planned for ECU. One of these is a videotape program where the students can view tapes of concerts. We tried this earlier this year with a videotape of a country-bluegrass concert from Nashville, Tenn. We had a lot of good reactions to the tape and so we are going to try it next year with tapes of other types of concerts,” he related. Another program that is being discussed is a travel program through which students could sign up for travel opportunities. “Several other schools have a program where the student pushes trips abroad and within the country for the students to take. For example, the Travel Committee would sponsor a trip to Switzerland or New York or the Bahamas. The committee would work up all the publicity and then any student who was interested could pay their money and go on the trip. There is a chance that the trips would be subsidized by the Union which would give the students cheaper costs,” said Hobgood. He also mentioned that traveling art exhibits, much like those on display in the Kate Whichard Gallery, would be on t SS WADE HOBGOOD display in the new Union next year. When asked to discuss some of the headaches he expected as Student Union president, Hobgood was quick to mention entertainment. “Entertainment is probably our biggest problem. We hope to partially solve the problem next year by taking money away from some committees and giving it to the entertainment committee. But really the only way the Pops Committee can make it is with student support,” he commented. “There’s just no way we can get the really big name bands that the students want. We don't have the facilities. If a student wants to pay $15 per ticket to see Elton John and not be guaranteed a seat in a standing room only crowd and then probably end up standing in the back corner of the auditorium we could do Due to the nation’s energy crisis, it is our belief that a great deal more bicycles will be purchased in 1974. For this reason, we are providing laws established by the General Statutes of the State of North Carolina, Chapter 20-129, governing the use of bicycles: 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate or ride any bicycle upon any of the streets or public ways of the City without obtaining an annual license from the Greenville Police Department. Bicycle licenses cost only 50 cents. 2. Prohibited on Sidewalks or Walkways: It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any bicycle upon any sidewalks or pedestrian walkways in the City of Greenville. 3. Observance of Traffic Signals: All persons operating bicycles shall observe all traffic signals as required in the Motor Vehicle Laws. 4. Light and Reflector Required tor Operation After Dark: It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any bicycle upon the public streets and ways of the City after dark unless the bicycle shail Bicycles have laws too it. That’s IF Elton John would even be willing to come to Greenville, N.C. when he could get twice the exposure somewhere else,” Hobgood continued. Discussing some of the changes that will be made next year Hobgood said that more attention will be given to programs that the students have been interested in. “Three areas that are expected to receive more funds are the Theatre Arts, Continued on page ten. carry a light attached to the front and a red reflector attached to the rear so that it may be clearly visible both from the front and rear thereof.

The appropriation was defeated because WECU has an estimated $6,500 in capitol expenditures which could be used for the research. Kathy Drake introduced a bill which called for the over-riding of Bodenhamer’s veto decision concering an appropriations of $600 to the lacrosse team. Bodehmaer vetoes the bill because the lacrosse team does not have an approved constitution and there is a question of whether the SGA would be committed to finance liability of personal injuries.

The traveling theatre productions we have on campus have been really pcpulat. The students also want more and better movies and when we get into the new CU, the coffeehouse will have its own room with permanent facilities. We are hoping for a new sound system for the coffeehouse and its possible that we can have entertainment during the day. One big thing we are discussing now is the possibility of having students bring their own beer or wine to the coffeehouse,” he 2xplained. At present, current CU president Gibert Kennedy andHobgood are planning for the move into the new CU which is expected during first summer session. to solicit money to pay their expenses. Other bills that were passed are as follows: approval of PSi Chi constitution, the approval of the Bahai Association and the appropriation of $2,022.85 to the Buccaneer to cover the final payment due on the 1973 yearbook. Legislator Harry Stubbs announced that the ECU delegation of the North Carolina Student Legislature (NCSL) has been selected. NCSL will meet March 6-10 in Raleigh and ECU plans to present two bills at the session. It was announced that there is a legislature vacancy in Tyler and interested persons can apply at Wright 308. “We have lots of plans for the new CU,” said Hobgood. “We will have potters wheels for student’s use, crafts exhibits, darkrooms, videotapes and many other things.” Hobgood closed by stressing that the outlook for the first year in the new CU is promising due to the efforts of the ECU administration. “We're really looking dorward to a successful year in the new CU thanks to the efforts of the administrators. Dean Alexander and the other administrators have taken such pride in the CU and placed so much importance on it that we are almost guaranteed of having a good year ahead of us.” warm blue ocean and sandy beaches. and good fun The Merry Widow is coming to Greenville “The Merry Widow’ is coming to Greenville, presented by the National Opera Company and the ECU School of Music. The performance will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 8:15 p.m. in the A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall on the ECU campus. No admission will be charged. The opera is the story of Madame Tanya Novasna, the merry widow, who inherits over 20 million dollars, thereby gaining the power to make or break the small country of Morovia. Following a period of mourning, she emerges into a social life - receiving declarations of love and proposals of marriage from all eligible men. The leaders of her country are determined she should marry one of her countrymen. The perfect choice for the match has been selected - Prince Danilo, a charming womanizer who drinks too much, sleeps to little, and spends no time ruling his country. But it seems that Madame Tanya was once just a plain milk maid whose passionate love for the charming prince was cooled by Danilo’s uncle. And, now it’s years later. The milk maid is an heiress and the prince must be persuaded to woo and win his once scorned !ove - but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The National Opera Company was founded in 1948 by A. J. Fletcher, Raleigh attorney and businessman. The aspir- ations of the founder were simple: to create audiences for opera by presenting it in the language of the audience and to give experience and employment to young singing artists. Fletcher was honored by THE HOLIDAY INN Come spend a week or a while you enjoy the ECU in 1971 for his patronage of the arts when the music building was named the A.J. Fletcher Music Center. The company presents annual tours covering most of the United States. These professional troupes have perform- ed nearly 2,000 times bringing opera to smaller towns and communities that have never witnessed live operatic perfor- mances. On May 1, 1969, the troupe played to the one-millionth student in attendance at matinees for the North Carolina public schools. When touring the Company is accompanied on piano by Don Wilder, music director. But for its performance at ECU, Wilder will conduct an orchestra made up of students and faculty of the ’ ECU School of Music. This production makes the second collarboration between East Carolina and the National Opera Company. The first such endeavor took’ place last February with Mozart’s “Cosi fan tutte” Entertainment ...

On Saturday in Minges Natatorium, over 200 of the finest high school swimmers and divers on the east coast congregated for one of the best meets of its kind. Calvert Hall High School of Maryland continued their domination of the competition as they won the championship trophy for the sixth straight year. Not only was the meet a success from a competition standpoint, but the high schoo! athletes had a chance to see East Carolina's beautiful swimming facility, and they also had a chance to talk with Pirate varsity swimmers and head coach Ray Scharf. Many swimmers and divers expressed a great deal of interest in attending ECU as student athletes. The meet was unique in the fact that it was conducted entirely by the Pirate swimming team. At times these meet officials worked faster than the boys in the water. Efficiency was certainly the word that should be used in describing the conduct of the meet. | had the opportunity to talk with many of the visiting coaches and they had only words of praise for the meet. Congratulations to coach Scharf and his team for a job well done. The Pirate swimmers, presently 4-4 in dual meet competition, will travel to Washington, D.C.on Saturday to battle Catholic University. The “natatorium” (using the term loosley) at Catholic has often been the subject of discussion on more than one occasion. The “oversized bird bath” is. only 20 yards long and it has rounded corners, therefore the swimmers in the outside lanes have a much better chance of doing well as the distance they swim is about three feet shorter than the competitors on the inside lanes. The pool’s ceiling is approximately 15 feet high and the depth of the pool is a mere eight feet. Pirate divers should be in for quite a surprise as they will find themselves continually bouncing either off the ceiling or the pool’s bottom. Every night when you kneel to say your prayers, please ask God to protect the Pirate swimmers from the perils of Catholic’s pool. MISTAKE. .... .MISTAKE..... .MISTAKE In my column of last week, | erroneously made the statement that the East Carolina swimming team was the only squad on campus that competed against four Atlantic Coast Conference schools. Our baseball team plays four ACC oppo are doubleheaders. May | also add that the nents and also many of the games played’ baseball team is probably one of the most successful teams from Greenville against ACC foes. It was strange to walk into Minges Coliseum on Saturday afternoon and see coach Williams’ baseball squad paired off taking “a few to the mitt.” The baseball team has started their pre-spring drills and instead of braving the cold and wet that typifies Greenville, they played catch in the coliseum. | was somewhat disappointed though that the Pirates didn’t take batting practice. BILLY THROUGH FOR SEASON The Carolina Cougars learned thi s weekend that their leading scorer Billy Cunningham (20.9 scoring average) will have to undergo further kidney surgery today. Cunningham underwent surgery to correct kidney blockage in mid-December, apparently all didn’t go so well during the recovery period, thus necessitating the further surgery. He was expected back in a Cougar uniform on or near March 1, now he will be lost for the season. The surgery will be performed in Penn. Hospital in Philadelphia. The Cougars have faltered into third place in the ABA’s eastern division, trailing New York's Nets and the Kentucky Colonels. HEREFORD WINS AGAIN Greenville’s Ed Hereford successfully defended his Bethel Road Race title on Saturday as he ran the 10-mile course three minutes faster than his time of last year. Hereford won in a time of 53.39. Jerry Hilliard of Raleigh finished second while Mike Conley of Greenville was third. Buc Trackmen perform well By STEVE TOMPKINS Staff Writer Though out manned and fatigued, the ECU indoor track team gave a thrilling performance before bowing in Columbus, Ohio on Friday night. The truckers strike had affected the Northern route in blocking gas stations and roads so the Pirates had to take another route to Columbus which made the trip 21 hours instead of 13. Carson commented, “I was really proud of the team. The Ohio State coach said he couldn’t even get his team into cars to ride 13 hours, let alone all night With two events left, the score was Ohio State and Notre Dame tied at 44 all and ECU with 37.

Maurice Huntley turned in his best performance of the year in winning the 300-yd. dash and taking second in the 60 with a time of 6.3 seconds.

FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5. NO. 23/12 FEB. “a 1 By DAVE ENGLERT Assistant Sports Editor Last Friday evening in Minges Coliseum the East Carolina wrestling team scored an impressive 29-6 victory over William and Mary. The Indians entered the match as the only team with a shot at upending the Pirates in the Southern Conference. Hav- ing lost only to ACC wrestling legend Maryland and national powerhouse Clarion State, William and Mary brought excellent credentials with them from Williamsburg. Despite the convincing win, one senses that both coaches and wrestlers will be satisfied with nothing less than total domination of William and Mary in the conference tournament, to be held February 22-23 at Appalachian State. “Some did so-so, some did average, and some did great,” said coach John Welborn in assessing the performance of his team. “Bill Hill wrestled tremendously—he had an outstanding match,” said Welbom in reference to the Pirate 177-pounder. Hill, a captain and senior from Norfolk, Va., has been a Southern Conference champ in each of his first three seasons and has been selected the “Best Wrestler in North Carolina” each of the past two years. Bruce Hall, who registered the only pin of the night, typified the confidence of the Pirate grapplers. “1 thought we would do this well, although | didn’t think I'd get a pin,” Hall said. “We had guys lose who really shouldn't have, but | think that almost assures a conference title for them.” So this meet will spur the Pirates into the conference tournament with added enthusiasm, yet on the other hand William and Mary will be on the warpath and looking for revenge. “We've got to realize that we'll have to work just as hard and make some improvements,” said Welborn. “They'll be coming back strong. | don’t think they wrestled as well as they are capable of.” Turning to the night’s action, junior Jim Blair dazzled and battered the Indian's Mark Healy in the 118-pound bout. He scored a 15-5 superior decision. * 8 >> ey O&8 > a 300 Grapplers dump Indians In the 126-pound weight class, ECU’s Paul Ketchum edged Jim Hicks in a heartstopping 5-4 verdict and gave the Pirates a 7-0 team lead over William and Mary. Mark Belknap decisioned Pirate Milt Sherman 43 in the 134 pount bout. Belknap had a record of 30-1 going into the match, with the loss coming at the hands of Sherman in a tournament earlier this season. Tom Marriott, sophomore from Herkimer, N.Y., dominated John Trud- geon, defeating the Indian foe 12-5. In the 150-pound bout, Pirate freshman Steve Satterthwaite came through with a stellar performance in nipping Tom Monday, 6-5. This was the fiercest and most physically demanding match of the evening as_ both Satterthwaite and Monday knew this was an important bout. The victory upped the East Carolina team lead to 13-3. A loss here would have made things a cozy 10-7. 158-pounder Bruce Hall came through with his pin of William and Mary's Bob Friedhoff in the third period. Time of the fall was 5:55. Ron Whitcomb, sophomore from East Rochester, N.Y., gave a very steady performance in defeating the Indian’s Bob Stark, 8-4, in the 167-pound division. Bill Hill did everything but pin Mike Furiness of William and Mary at 177. He scored a 14-0 superior decision and came within inches of pinning Furiness in each of the three periods. In the 190-pound bout Rick Dixon defeated ECU's Mike Radford 11-8 with a flurry of points in the final period. In the heavyweight event, the Pirate's Willie Bryant again had everyone holding their breath right down to the last second. He entered the final period down 3-2, escaped to a neutral position making it 3-3, and won 43 on the basis of accumulating at least one minute more riding time than Indian foe Greg Freaney. This win by the junior college transfer from Glassboro, N.J.gave ECU a final margin of 29-6 over the Indians. The loss dropped William and Mary to 10-3, with the victory raising the Pirate dual meet mark to 4-0. ECU’s next match’ is at home on Thursday, February 14, against the Pembroke State Braves.

Wed. night the Pirates defeated Buffalo State, 89-61, and Sat. bombed SouthernConference foe William and Mary, 93-63. The Pirates are now 11-9 for the season and 6-4 in the conference. Buffalo State, not exactly a powerhouse with a 415 record, was consistently outrebounded and outman- ned as Larry Hunt pulled down 12 rebounds, Nicky White 10 and Greg Ashorn 7. The Bucs jumped out into a 20-8 lead with the initial basket by Roger Atkinson followed by a flurry of points from Reggie Lee and White. White scored the only points for the Pirates for the next five minutes on a pair of free throws but Buffalo was so shellshocked they couldn't take advantage of it. The Pirates led at halftime, 38-28. Lee openned the scoring in the second half with a corner shot and Donnie Owens, who had 10 assists, followed with a long bomb. } By Guy Cox PIRATE HEAD COACH TOM QUINN inspired his team to two big wins last week over Buffalo State and William and Mary. Women cagers have successful trip By CONNIE HUGHES Staff Writer The ECU women’s basketball team had wins over Appalachian High Point and dropped one to Western Carolina in their week end trip to the North Carolina mountains. Thursday night the Lady Pirates enjoyed a victory over the women from High Point, winning 67-53. They controlled the initial tip-off but ran into some difficulty in the first quarter of play. Shots did not come easily for either team and the quarter ended with ECU down by three, 14-11. In the second quarter the ECU women added 18 points to the purple side of the scoreboard. Poor shooting by High Point and a pressing ECU defense found the Lady Pirates on top at the half, 29-24. Third quarter action was sluggish with voth teams trading basket for basket. Both teams came to life in the final period of play. ECUscored 23 points in a fast fourth quarter effort. High Point reponded to the challenge but their response came too late. ECU claimed its first victory of the week end, 67-53. Freshman sensation Lu Ann Swaim copped scoring and rebounding honors in the contest. She contributed 23 points and 15 rebounds to the Pirate cause. Co-captain Sheilah Cotton backed her up with 18 points. The women had a fair night from the floor claiming 41 per cent of their field goal attempts. They made 75 per cent of their free throws. Coach Catherine Bolton had this to say of the play at High Point: “I was satisfied with the team’s performance but they were really thinking ahead to the big game against Western Carolina. Lu Ann Swaimhad a nice game here.” Thursday afternoon the Lady Pirates took the court against a talented team from Western Carolina. Numerous fouls called on both teams made a good contest impossible and ECU bowed to Western 73-65. Neither team could really play ball as the defensive units could not press the play. At half time Western Carolina controlled a two point lead, 33-31. Play during the final quarter saw Western outscore the Lady Pirates by eight points. As the horn sounded it was Western over ECU, 73-65. The scoring for ECU was lopsided with Cotten tossing in a hot 39 points. Swaim, who sat out most of the action due to foul trouble, contributed nine points. She was high rebounder with eight. The ECU women made 50 per cent of their field goal attempts. They were 68 per cent from the foul line where they spend a good deal of their time. “There were 22 fouls called on Western and 18 on us. Our tall player, Lu Ann Swaim,and their tall girl sat on the bench most of the game,” said Bolton. “Western made 45 per cent of their points from outside which is phenomenal. This forced us to go to a man-to-man defense which we don't like to do,” commented the mentor of the Lady Pirates. Coach Bolton also added, “We're looking for a chance to play them again (state tournament) when both teams can play a bit more loosely. The fouling really hindered play.” Saturday the Lady Pirates topped the Mountaineers of ASU, 54-49, in a quick running and shooting game. Though ASU controlled the opening tip-off, ECU had them by three points at the close of the quarter, 17-14. ECU went to the locker room at half time with a five point lead, 26-21. The mountain ladies had a good third quarter and battled their way within one point. The third period ended with ECU in the lead, 34-33. A fast breaking, high scoring fourth quarter by the ECU women gave them their second victory of the week end. Cotton was high scorer of the game with 20 points. Co-captain Susan Manning had 11 points while Frances Swenholt added eight. Manning and Swaimwere tops in rebounding claiming eight and seven respectively. Bolton said of the week end in the mountains, “We have played better basketball than we played this week end. | don't think there’s a team in the state better that we are... .It's a matter of whether we'll be better than them when we meet them on the court.” The ECU women will go against Chowan at 2 p.m. on Feb. 16 at Chowan. On Feb. 21-23 they will be at the State Tournament in Greensboro at UNC-G. The women are presently 6-4 on the season. Trackmen Continued from page eleven. shoving throughout the race. Gerald Klas gave an exceptional effort in a difficult middle distance double, finishing second in the mile in 4:15.3 and third in the 880 in 1:56.5. Carson commented, “Ed ran an outstanding race, beating his personal best time by six seconds. The OSU coach said he was really impressed by Ed’s time because they didn’t think we had that caliber of performer in the two mile.” Willie Harvey won the long jump with a leap of 22’8”, and LarryMalone finished second in both the long and triple jump with 22’4” and 45'7” efforts respectively. Tom Watson threw a personal best of 50’9” in the 16 Ibs. shot and Art Miller finished third in the pole vault at 14’0”. It should be noted that Miller competed after having a severely upset stomach on the trip from eating a doughnut at one of the truck stops. In the 70-yd. high hurdles Sam Phillips and Charles Maxey took third and fourth with 8.8 and 8.9 second times. Roy Quick finished fourth in the high jump at 64”. With 11:29 remaining Lee again connected making the score 61-28 and the lead was never less than twenty points after that. The reserves came in with eight minutes left, and a notable shooting exhibition was put on by Chuch Mohn who hit six of nine jumpers for 12 points. White led the Pirates with 16 points, followed by Owens, Lee and Mohn with 12 each. Again Saturday night the Pirates controlled the boards, pulling down 64 to William and Mary’s 48. Three Bucs had in excess of ten rebounds; White, Geter and Larry Hunt. The Pirates shot 51.9 percent from the floor and their defense forced the Indians into 22 turnovers. White and Lee openned the scoring in the game with two jumpers and with Lee's shot with 12:57 in the half the Pirates had a 15-8 lead. : The Indians rallied behind their leading scorer Mike Arizin, who was held to 10 points in the game, who hit two long jumpers which gave the Indians the lead at 18-17. But moments later Robert Geter scored putting the Pirates into the lead for good. Geter hit a short range jumper and Buzzy Braman’s steal gave the Pirates a 12 point lead at 38-26. The Bucs led at halftime 40-28. ECU openned the second half with a flourish with baskets by Owens and Lee and soon had a lead of 20 points at 50-30, and thereafter the Pirates were never headed. Five players were in double figures for the Bucs led by Lee with 17, Geter with 12, Owens with 11 and Hunt and Atkinson with 10.
