Fountainhead EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA NO. 38/12 MARCH 74 SGA elections FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, A lot of preparation Lucas: ‘Not merely a group of promises’ By DIANE TAYLOR Co-News Editor Secretary of International Affairs, Bob Lucas has entered the SGA Presidential race on a coalition ticket with vice-presidential candidate, Cindy ese: BOB LUCAS Vomme, against independent Mitchell Riley. Lucas explained that he and Domme have been in preparation for the election for several months. After researching all platform ideas, talking to various campus organizations, and the administration, all in several different sessions, Lucas claims, ‘We feel like the platform we are presenting now is_ solidified into something we can go with, not merely a group of promises.” The platform has been broken down into five areas of what Lucas and Domme feel to be the most important aspects of student concern. First on the list of platform proposals is the Student Dollar. Here Lucas advocates the establishment of a Student Consumer Union. “This is paramount,” he claimes, “(since) one out of every three people in Greenville is a student.” The union would be separated into two parts: A Grievance Committee, which would deal witn all aspects of consumer complaints (landlords, repairs, etc.) and would work closely with the SGA attorney. Secondly, Lucas would like to see booklets of consumer information made available to students. These booklets, he explained, would be especially important for transfer students and freshmen. They would include many different aspects such as restaurants, housing, information for married students, auto repairs, in short, Lucas said, “All different aspects of consumer information students should be aware of.” The second designation under Student Dollar is a plan to expand the Student Book Exchange working closely with the Veterans Club in greatly enlarging the current book exchange. Next in the line of proposals is Student Academics. Lucas said that the creation of a Summer Transit Booklet which would tell students all essential, pertinent information: for summer school at other universities (in N.C., Virginia and others) and how it fits into the ECU program is important. Utilizing the Free University Concept by which the administration would pay for instruction in interest courses (for which at least ten students must enroll with the SGA organizing publicity, rooms, etc. and costing the student nothing, is another team proposal. They plan to improve the Audit System so that a student can audit a course one quarter and take it for credit the following quarter and organize a_university-wide tutoring system. COMMUNICATION Student Communication is third on the list and Lucas says, “To me this is what it's all about. This is where | see the big problem.” He feels that the average student sees student government as an - organization that meets once a week and SGA elections By TIM JONES Staff Writer Thursday, March 14, has been set as the date for the election of 1974-75 SGA officers. A voting precinct will be set up in each dormitory, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and in the Student Union, open from 9a.m. to 7 p.m. Eight students have filed to the Elections Committee for candidacy in this election. Running for the office of SGA president now held by Bili Bodenhamer, are Mitchel Riley and Bob Lucas. Tom Clare, Gil Hendrix and Cindy Domme are argues about petty things. “He doesn’t see it as a tool that directly affects him,” Lucas added. “We feel like we should create more avenues of communication between student government and students.” The Lucas/Domme team see several ways to accomplish this. First they propose a Student Forum which would give the individual student a direct voice to the SGA officials. A President’s Forum would increase communication on the organizational level by providing input and feedback on campus issues. An Inner Group Theme is a concept to develop a_ better understanding between University groups. The SGA would strive to push for special appreciation weekends of campus groups. (Lucas said this came about early in the planning when various groups complained of a lack of understanding by ‘Continued on page four. on Thursday running for Frieda Clark’s office of vice-president. Candidates for the office of treasurer, presently held by Mike Ertis, are Bill Beckner and Eric Ripper. Vivian Williams is the sole candidate for secretary. She is to replace Cindy Domme. The candidates met Thursday night with Yvonne Martindale, Chairman of Elections. They were informed of the General Election Rules set forth by the Elections Committee. The discussion consisted mostly of aquestion and answer session concerning tegal and _ illegal campaign procedures. Riley; ‘Concerned about student needs’ By DARRELL E. WILLIAMS News Editor Mitchell Riley, a junior candidate running against Bob Lucas for the SGA presidency, “wants to work very closely with students and members of the SGA Legislature -- listening to their ideas and opinions.” “| feel | am more of a student than a politician,” Riley states. “! am concerned about the needs and welfare of the students--not the petty politics that the SGA has sometimes been involved in this year. |am mostly concerned with trying to enact what the students at ECU want from the SGA.” When asked to evaluate the activities of incumbant SGA President Bill Boden- hamer, Riley replied, “I think the past SGA President ran rampant with the SGA. He tried to run everything himself—like denying the existence of the Pub Board... The ‘If you don't like it, get rid of it’ philosophy he had just doesn’t work. | plan to work very closely with students and legislature so that we might, together, effectively meet the needs of the students.” As a candidate for SGA President, Riley offered the following statements as part of his platform for running: Student supply co-op. “I! think we need a co-op on campus in which a student can purchase books, clothing, food, and other personal needs at nominal costs. The Vet Club program for selling books, like a co-op, is a good idea. The campus bookstore, | feel, is a rip-off. | feel that ECUstudents could purchase needed supplies at a much lower cost than what they offer. This might be done by soliciting a large publishing companv. \ MITCHELL RILEY such as McGraw-Hill, to ship large quantities of books and school supplies to campus for the students to purchase. In this type of arrangement, the books and other materials left over would be shipped to other campuses and sold there instead of the bookstore losing money on them and uping the prices of school supplies to compensate for the losses. WECU. “I think WECU should definitely become FM. | believe the quality of the programming is already suitable for FM. A FM radio would surely be an asset to the university and to the students.” Greenville Housing. “I think we need to take a large scale survey of the housing situation in Greenville. Many nice, attractive, old houses have been torn down only to be replaced by cramped and less attractive apartment buildings. Students should be given a chance to use these houses and fix them up before they are destroyed and replaced by expensive apartment rentals.” Bike paths. ‘Bike paths, | feel, should be included in the Greenville Redevelop- ment Program. These bike paths should be immediately considered so that they can be implemented at the same time as other redevelopment work and thus save money.” Campus Bar. ‘“‘I’d like to see beer sold in the new CU. Beer has long been sold on university campuses in the North and even in some N.C. colleges. ! think the atmosphere of a pub on campus would be good for the idea of a university as a place to exchange ideas. Beer might even help the ideas flow a little better! Appropriations. “Basically, | am in favor of appropriating SGA money to such worthy groups as the ' acrosse Team and the Music School. These groups seemed to have been given the run-around by the SGA this year.” Outdoor Pool. “I think students need an outdoor pool with a lounging area. Since the Greenville City pool has been closed there has been no large outdoor swimming facility available to students. It would be good especially for Spring quarter and summer school students.” Buses running The ECU buses will be running agal his week because of an g presi igas allocation for the buses was cut last uesday but ECU administrators and Bodenhamer appealed to the Govemor’s| Energy Commission, which decided that lhe transportation system was effective and much needed by the students, so the allocation was granted.

All Clare plans to end student apathy By DARRELL E. WILLIAMS News Editor Serving in the SGA since 1972 as Assistant SGA Attorney General and Attorney General, Tom Clare feels that this experience makes him well qualified in his race against Cindy Domme and Gil Hendrix for SGA Vice President. “We have had a lot of good ideas in the SGA this year and | have seen both the problems and the success of the enacting of these ideas. | have a good idea of how TOM CLARE things work in the SGA because of my past experience with it aS a part of the Student Legal Council Service. Also, because | have served this year as SGA Attorney General, | won't be coming into the office of SGA Vice-President cold. | feel | will be able to remedy some of the past years’ problems and shortcomings because | have been so closely involved with SGA activities.” Clare thinks that students should be made aware of the problems and difficulties that they might be confronted with. Only then, Clare states, can the SGA be an effective organization. Once the students are well informed and there is open communication between the students and the SGA, Clare feels the SGA can effectively serve the needs of the students. “Il want to unify the students on campus and try to end the student apathy which seems so apparent now,” Clare says, “not a hell of a lot can be done in the SGA without the active support of the student body.” Commenting on the past years SGA administration, Clare stated, ‘There has been a lot of controversy and dispute 3 among SGA members this past year. In fact it has almost been utter chaos. As SGA Vice-President | would like to unify the SGA and stop all the petty arguments and disagreements like those that have confronted us this year. How can the SGA expect to unify the students if they are so disjointed themselves? | don't forsee this division of the SGA next year and, if elected, | will work to help make the Continued on page four. Hendrix feels student's interests By DIANE TAYLOR Co-News Editor Gil Hendrix has filed for candidacy in the three-way race for SGA Vice-President opposing candidates Cindy Domme and Attorney General, Tom Clare. In outlining his four-part plan, Hendrix said, “My platform is the student’s platform and their interests are things I'd like to see taken into consideration since all of us here pay the same tuition.” “In the future,” he said, “I hope to see some bike paths around Greenville, especially to Minges and Allied Health.” Hendrix said he would also like to see the Music Department receive some funds to continue their tours and concerts, since our Music Department is rated one of the best in the country now.” Hendrix proposes to give financial Support to the Crew and Lacrosse teams, “Which | think is a valuable part of campus life here.” He also sees the need for better planning in the ECU transit system. “Are we going to be able to keep the buses? Can we get gas in the future?” he asked. These are things we need to know before more student money is tied up.” | would also like to see more fair planning of bus routes, especially in the western part of the city. They do not have bus transportation at this time,” he added. Hendrix admits that he has had limited experience in the student government, although he said he had recently taken “strong interest in the SGA activities,” and has filed for various offices and vacancies in the past. “Without having the student’s interest in mind and trying to meet their needs, | feel experience is only a small asset, after all, it is the students who elect you to hopefully use their money wisely,” he claims. A member of the seven man Judiciary Board of Aycock dorm in his freshman year, Hendrix feels, “As far as lack of experience in the legislature, | feel like | can make up for this with ambition and desire for the good of the entire student body.” “| would like to encourage everyone to get out and vote, no matter who they support,” he ended. “In the past voter turnout has not been good, as far as total number of students enrolled.” GIL HENDRIX Domme favors increased communications By ANTHONY RAY EVERETTE Staff Writer Cindy Domme, a vice presidential candidate running on a coalition with Bob Lucas, feels that things can be done to benefit the students as a whole and she is ready to begin working on them. Domme and Lucas have been working closely together and have done research since January on things that need to be and can be done in the SGA. The two candidates have also discussed their ideas with students to get their opinions. When asked about her qualifications for the second top SGA office, Domme replied: “I’ve been on the legislature for two and a half years and | am presently chairman of the appropriations committee. I’m a junior now and I’ve been working with the student government since spring quarter of my freshman year. Therefore, I’ve seen their workings and | know what's going on.” She has many goals as vice president of the SGA and she feels these are not impossible to get. She has taken the time to look into her ideas thoroughly to see if they could be obtained, and they can. She does not wish to make promises that just sound good to the ear. She is well aware of what can definitely be done through the office of president and vice president of the SGA. When asked. if there was any as vice president, she replied, “Yes, | have many goals but the main thing | want to see is increased communication. | want to bring the student government back to the students. One way this can be done is through a president’s forum. That is simply a meeting together of all of the leaders of campus organizations once a month to let them express what they would like to see take place on campus. The leaders could bring ideas in from respective organizations. Another way this can be done is through a student forum. This is when students come in and express their grievances and ask questions about things they don’t understand.” Cindy, along with her running mate, Bob Lucas, also expressed concems of the establishment of a student consumer union. She explained this as an informative union on consumer interests. It could handle students’ complaints about certain consumer items. The two top office seekers are also concerned with the examinaiton of a possible bike trail system and the creation of a student lobby. The student lobby woula be a group of students working together to lobby for the things that are needed and wanted by all the students. Domme explained. The development of new academic programs are among the platform ideas of Domme. Some of these ideas and programs she explained, would include a summer transit booklet with summer school information for schools throughout the state and how to transfer the courses back here to East Carolina for credit. It CINDY DOMME would also include costs. The new academic programs would include a free university concerpt and improvement of the audit system. Domme reminds the Students that all of these ideas have been researched and can be developed. She and Lucas have traveled and looked into how some of these programs work on other campuses in the state and explored the possibility of them working here at East Carolina University. Domme also notes the benefits of a coalition in the sense that it is two people working together in favor of something instead of two people constantly debating against each other. She feels that the president and vice president should work together and have the kind of understanding that she anc Lucas have. If anyone has any questions coi cerning the programs outlined here, Domme urges the students to feel free to contact her anytime. She expresses her thanks to Jim Davis who is her campaign manager, and to all the students who have worked along with her and Lucas. “I want to win this election,” she exclaimed. “I've worked hard and so has Bob. | know what has to be done and | know how to do it.” She reminds students to “take SGA elections seriously. It is your money SGA is using,” she added. “Make Sure it’s used responsibly, with your one particular goal that she hopes toreach = vice presidential candidate, Cindy interest in mind.” 7 4 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 38/12 MARCH 74 Clare... Continued from pave three. SGA work effectively together so that it might better serve the students of ECU The office of SGA Vice-President,” Clare says, “| would be working very slosely with the President. | would not, however, be enacting only what the President wants. We wouid be working together, cooperatively, sharind ideas, in an effort to serve the SGA and the students.” As part of his platform, Clare commented on the following issues Pub Board. ‘| feel very Strongly that the Publications should be completely separate from the SGA. The controversy this past year over Pub Board appro- priations and legality has proven that the SGA/Pub Board relationship as it is JOW |S not very compatible or reliable.

Dorm curfews women, especially, need to be eliminated. Students, male and female, have been arrested and even jailed this year for dorm curfew violations. | don't feel that this type of action should be necessary. Students sometimes seem to be forced into living in the dorms. And the administration requires that non-resident students live in them no matter how old they are or what -ircumstances (other than marriage) that they are in. To prevent this ‘forced nto living there’ attitude that students have, the administration should take mmediate steps to make dorm living more attractive and realistic. It will take Nard and careful work to do this but it is very important that it be done.” Legal counseling. “My experience with the student legal counsel service Nas proven to me that the service is a very vital and necessary one. | really want to keep this service alive, possibly expanding it soon.” Lucas... Continued from page one. tudents.) Last along the line of student communication is the advent of } on Surveys, which are Currently non-existant here. Lucas ained that the surveys would “feed the SGA--give us something to go on.” Lucas and Domme wouid like to see a Student Lobby established to improve 2nce. The Lobby would push strongly for student needs. ‘| think you need a group in the SGA that does nothing by lobby for student needs, Lucas said. ‘'! think the ECU NCSL team is a perfect group for this.” As an example of what this lobby could do, Lucas mentioned the possibility of an overpass on 10th St. He explained that the Greenville City Manager told Nim it Was 98 percent possible, but that the initial push should come from the Student government and administration, because it would be used 100 percent Dy students. Lucas said the manager promised he would push for it, and that it “ould be paid for by the state. “This is something that hasn't been looked into, Dut we need it and if it’s free we should get it,” Lucas added. “Student lobbyists could push for this.” On the campus level the student group could lobby for vital student needs, through the use of campus opinion surveys. On the state level, the group could attempt to lobby for the students by working with other universities. “I know we cant change the world, but there are unlimited amounts of things we can do,” Lucas claimed The last proposals of the team platform deal with student safety. Main issues here include the overpass on 10th St. and bike trails. Lucas explained that the Clty of Greenville is working on plans for bike trails now. “I feel like we should work with them,” he said. ‘I think it is a good concept, but | think we should carefully examine the cost.” In Outlining the research necessary for such a project, Lucas displayed information he received from a university in Florida which has an operating bike trail system. OTHER VIEWS Lucas views the SGA President as one who coordinates the different student acitivites and groups on campus. “He should delegate authority,” feels Lucas. Through past experience in student government, | feel it is best to delegate as much authority and not be an authoritative, do-all, be-all type president Speaking of his reasons for a coalition ticket, Lucas said, “I think one of the argest problems this year has been personality conflicts. This is a great ragedy. | feel like a coalition has an advantage because we can get to student blerr cker - theoretical ideas of student government are congruent.” cas added, “The main thing students should keep in mind is, tudent government with their student activity fee.

LOFTIN Staff Writer The Doobie Brothers “What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits” Wamer Bros. Records W2750 The Doobie Brothers’ latest album release comes almost a year after the Classic “The Captain and Me L.P.”, a time lag perhaps due to the increasing demand for them as a concert attraction throughout the country. Very few groups have been able to combine commercial SuUCCess, artistic appeal, professional know-how, and good over-all production level (both live and recorded) as have the Doobies, especially in the short time (18 months) since “Listen to the Music” first came out. With a good, but obscure, first album “The Doobie Brothers”, a fine second album “Toulouse Street’, and an outstanding third album “The Captain and Me”, this band has continually improved in quality of material, arrangements, and production work. With this in mind, and considering that “What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits” (‘Vices” for the rest of this article) is their fourth album, a good question to ask is what are they trying to do now. This new album answers very clearly that they are continuing to refine their techniques while working in basically the same framework as before. The songs are still melodically appealing, though not ' quite on the same level as the outstanding compositions on “The Captain and Me”. The arrangements and production work continue to reach new levels of achievement which balances out or possibly even offsets the slight reduction in the quality of the songs themselves. The addition of the Memphis Horns (formerly the Mar-Keys, who combined with Booker T and the M.G.’s to back jalmost every soul hit in the mid-sixties) 'adds dimension to the sound. While horns are nothing new to the Doobies, having used them on their second album and synthesizing them on their third, the superior arrangements do add much, especially on the soul influenced ‘You Just Can’t Stop It’. Various other guest musicians add further breadth and novelty to the arrangements, including Arlo Guthrie, Eddie Guzman (percission man for Rare Earth), Milt Holland (L.A. Studio percussion man best known for his work with Loggins and Messina), regular sidemen Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (of Steely Dan) and Bill Payne (keyboards for Little Feat) as weil as the Doobies’ own former drummer, Michael Hossack. If there are any points on which the album can be unfavorably criticized they would be a lack of experimentation and a slight decrease in the overall quality of the songs. This is not to say, however, that it is by any means a disappointing album. As it is, the listener is wooed by the consistent series of well-presented and entertaining selectins, with the mood changes that are unique to the Doobie Brothers. In keeping with their ability to pull several songs off of each album (except their first) for A.M. airplay, there are several songs which seem to have the qualities for commercial success. The most outstanding in this respect is ‘Eyes of Silver’, followed closely by ‘Song to See You Through’ and ‘You Just Can't Stop It’. Be _ ready to hear one or all of these on the radio within the next six to eight Marceau is no less than superb By BRANDON TISE Staff Writer Marcel Marceau, acclaimed worldwide as the greatest living pantomimist and currently on a North American tour, appeared at Wright Auditorium on March 6. With the help of his partner, Pierre Verry, Marceau enthralled the Capacity audience for an hour and a half with his masterful presentation. Devoted to the art of mime since his youth, he enrolled in dramatic school in 1946, studying under the master Etienne Decroux. His talent recognized soon after he enrolled, he has been involved in the perfection of mime ever since. He has appeared on many television shows in the United States while on tour of the major theatres in the country. In 1947 Marceau created his alter-ego, “Bip”, a clown dressed in a beflowered opera hat and a striped pullover. “Bip” is a comic, sometimes sad character, who Struggles with the happy and sorrowful happenings in life. Appearing first as a style pantomimist Marceau selected to do “The Sider Show’ as his opening. For an hour he took the audience on a tour through “The Sculptor’, the satirical “Trial”, “The Public Garden”, the beautiful “Creation of the World”, and ending with one of his classic masterpieces, “Youth, Maturity, Old Age and Death’. Throughout these he displayed his amazing facial expressions and physical grace. In “The Trial" Marceau appeared as the haughty prosecuting attorney, the mean defense attorney, the defendent, and the bumbling judge, each; character portrayed magniticiently by Marceau. Following a thirty minute intermission, Marceau returned, this time as his alter ego, “Bip”. He performed the comic “Lion Tamer’, and “The Great Artist” and then captured the audience's heart more than ever with the satirical ‘Society Party”. Using a small black screen as a prop, he delighted the audience as “David and Goliath”. His finale was again one of his classics, “The Mask Maker’, in which ihe again showed his superb control of his facial expressions. The audience re- sponded to his departure with a long standing ovation and many cries for an encore. The East Carolina audience for this performance was the most responsive one that | have ever witnessed for an ECU event of any kind, and their collective energy could not have been more well spent than on this premier artist. months. The remainder of the songs are definitely restricted to album listening, being either too long or intricately arranged for the radio Much credit for the quality of this and the other Doobie Brothers’ albums goes to producer, Ted Templeman. Most record buyers don’t even notice the producer's Credits, or, more importantly, don’t know what he does. A producer, along with the artist, determines the choice of materiai style of arrangements and the technicar aspects such as sound effects and mixing of the voices and instruments. The producer can be considered as an additional member of the band while they are in the recording studio (hence George Martin's title as the fifth Beatle) and can very greatly influence the final product.
