Well, don't believe it or any other rumors concerning concerts this Spring because, according to Student Union President, Gibert Kennedy, there won't be any more this year Kennedy said last week that the Pop Comittee was inoperative, and because of a series of monetary losses on concerts, the Student Union could no_ longer endanger itself with further losses. These losses would begin to drain other programs such as the lectures and fine arts series Kennedy said he has found through research of pop concert statistics that Spring was an especially bad time of year for concerts and was afraid that with five of them already scheduled for this Spring, losses could rise as high as $10,000. From Fall of 1969 until the Spring of 1973, 85 percent of Spring concerts have been financial disasters, with Winter concerts coming in at second place with a 50/50 loss-profit ratio, according to Kennedy. Fall concerts were shown to be fairly profitable, with some 60 percent reaping profits. “| had to do it.” Kennedy said, “because I’m held responsible for the welfare of the Union under the constitution. | have always assumed my committees to be right and myself to be wrong when there is a disparity over issues, but when the union's funds dropped below $45,000, | had to say ‘no more’. | felt the committee was setting itself up for bad losses; the bands were ones | didn’t think would go over too well.

Approximately 200 students who would be otherwise, inadmissible, due to marginal SAT scores, rank in high school class, or lower .predicted grade point averages, will be admitted into this program. “These students have no quantitative deficiencies,’ stated Wendall Allen, Assistant Dean of General College. According to Allen, who is responsible for registering and scheduling classes for these students, they (the students) have failed to meet regular admission requirements, perhaps by only “tenths of a percent”. To help provide the additional background these students need, they will be in class almost twice as much as the regular student, Allen said Fall quarter all students in the program will take the same classes. These classes will not be listed on the class schedule and will be only for students enrolled in the program. The students will be in class a total of 27 hours per week, but will receive only 12 hours credit. Classes will be smaller, so instruction will be more personalized. The content in these classes will be the same as in regular classes, but the pace will be much slower. Students will be taking English |, History 50, Math 63, Library Science 1, and Physical Education 12, according to Donald Bailey, Dean of General College. Bailey also stated that Math 63 was not a new course... it was part of the curriculum about 10 years ago. Math 63 and Math 64 will be equivalent to Math 65. Dr. Robert Joyner of ECU's Math Department said the course would not be “watered down”. “The pace will be slower in terms of mathematical content, more problems will be worked, and more background will be given,” Joyner continued. Faculty members will work very closely with these students. Joyner said they will be given “every opportunity to succeed.” According to Dr. Allen, there is an indication that students need special help in reading. Therefore, a tutorial reading lab will supplement History 50. Students will read the history text in reading lab. If a student feels he can a bypass any or all of these classes, Dr success it is only an opportunity Allen stated there are exit points all along ee RC RR ial the way. Dr. Susan McDaniel, Assistant Provost, listed several reasons for the development of this program: (1) students do not always perform in high school and on their SAT according to their abilities; (2) enrollment is down somewhat, so the University now has the space and the facilities to help extra students; (3) there is an indication that federal laws may require universities to develop such a program. This program will not “lower the University's standards” according to Dr. Allen. Rather the program is part of the research carried out at ECU. “If the experimental admissions program works, it will become a part of ECU,” Allen stated. Actually this program offers nothing that is not already available to every student on campus. Dr. Allen said study skills courses, math and reading labs, and counseling services are available for any student who wishes to take advantage of the opportunity According to Dr. Allen this program offers “no guarantees and no degree of — “RADI REE ECO PO 2 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 43/28 MARCH 1974 ee a nena nin iit eB aetna nina news FLASHFLASHFLASHFLASHFLASH Chi Beta Phi Chi Beta Phi national science honor fraternity recently held its annual convention in Athens, Alabama.

Symmer in Israel State University College at Oneonta, New York, in cooperation with Hebrew University, Haifa University, and Barfilan University in Israel, is offering its eighth summer academic program in Israel in July and August, 1974. The overseas program will be for a seven week period and will award nine semester hours of undergrad- uate or graduate credit to students completing the academic work satisfactor- ily. “Modern Israel” is for students who desire an intensive study of Israel's economic, social, political, religious, educational, and scientific institutions; an opportunity for research on a particular aspect of the country; and a humanizing broadening contact with old-new Israel. Participation for both courses is limited to teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students who can meet the entrance requirements of the State University of New York, and who have a serious purpose for participating. There are no language requirements. Dr. Yonah Alexander, Professor of International and Foreign Area Studies of the State University College at Oneonta, will be the Director of this program for the eighth consecutive summer. During the 1968-69 and 1969-70 academic years he was Resident Director for the full-year State University of New York programs in Israel at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Tel Aviv University. Persons desiring further information may write Professor Alexander at State University College, Oneonta, New York 13820.

FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 43/28 MARCH 1973 3 Entrance requirements dropped : Foreign languages doomed in college? By PAT CRAWFORD Editor-in-Chief “In the United States,” writes Max Oppenheimer, Jr., “...acceptance of foreign language training as a sine qua non of any respectable educational background has never been universal.” Oppenheimer, a foreign language professor at State University (Fredonia, N.Y.) has perhaps understated the case of language training today. High school and university students generally remember their foreign language studies as a necessary affliction, a granite requirement to “get culture’. With the lowered entrance requirements of many univer- sities and the accompanying emphasis on the vocational, foreign language programs may have been dealt a _ heavy blow. Colleges across the country are either eliminating foreign language requirements for entrance or are eliminating language study as a requirement for graduation. The vocational and technical pursuits - business, nursing, industrial education - are, meanwhile, receiving increased attention in university programs. Coin- cidentally, these are the areas which rarely require foreign language study; the Ns eae Bed 7 ares ae MRS. MARQUERITE PERRY humanities, however, do have that requirement and are attempting to maintain both their departmental enroll- ments and their language requirement. ENCOURAGE ABANDONMENT Critics of decreased language emphasis in the university prophesy doom for foreign languages; they see the dropping of a language entrance require- ment as a prelude to the elimination of all foreign language requirements. In ad- dition, they claim that lack of such a requirement will encourage abandonment of language study in high schools. But is there a more hopeful side? The foreign language faculty at ECU is looking for one. The university recently dropped the requirement that entering freshmen have at least two high school units of a foreign language. While the language requirement for college graduation still stands in many majors, faculty members are speculating about the effects of the entrance change. “There are two explanations where dropping the entrance requirement is concerned,” said Mrs. Marquerite Perry, chairman of the department of foreign languages and literatures. “First, the university is tending toward open X09 AND AG BY GUY Coy admissions now; it was felt that a person might be a potentially good college student, yet not choose or be able to handle a foreign language in high school.” “Second,” she added, “I think this is all part of the tendency toward letting students structure their programs to suit themselves.” TWO CAMPS Immediately after the dropping of the languageentrance requirement at ECU, members “Of the university community divided into. two camps - those who approved of the change as a lure for more students, and those who foresaw next the dropping of the entire language requirement and a decline in the quality of university education. “The change has been misunderstood,” said Perry. “It’s just the entrance requirement from high school that has been dropped.” “A short time ago a former student here, who's now a high school teacher, asked me anxiously, ‘What’s this | hear ~ about no more language requirement?’ | had to clarify it for all.” “Basically,” she added, “we will definitely continue to encourage students to study foreign languages in high school. We'll give them placement tests when they enter as freshmen, and will place them at whatever language level they belong.” ECU divides its basic language study courses into four one-quarter levels. An entering freshman takes the placement test to determine in which of these levels he should continue his language study. On occasion, a student proficient in the language may bypass all four courses by taking the placement test. “The high school student who does take a language will actually be doing college-level work,” said Perry, “and can get credit for it by taking the placement test.” ELIMINATION IMMINENT? Mrs. Perry has heard from critics who claim the elimination of the foreign language graduation requirement is imminent. These critics claim that few high school students without language experience will enter a university major requiring foreign language. It is felt that DR. DONALD F. CLEMENS these students will be more likely to enter a program not requiring a language - home economics, nursing, accounting, and the like. Vocational-technical fields will boom, and the humanities, which generally require a language, will wane. A second opinion is that the foreign language requirement for graduation will be next to go. Mrs. Perry admits the possibility of such a development, but remains optimistic. “We hope the effect of dropping the requirement as we have will be to draw the more interested and serious students into the foreign language program,” she said. “We don't feel that bringing in, say, high school students without language backgrounds will hamper us - we're fully equipped for them and are glad to teach them.” FACULTY SENATE Dr. Donald F. Clemens, a member of the Faculty Senate which voted to drop the language entrance requirement, explained his view of the action in regard to the future of foreign languages. Clemens, a chemistry professor, stated that he was “absolutely not in favor’ of dropping the language requirement for graduation. “One of the reasons we. voted for the drop in a foreign language entrance requirement was the abuse of the language placement system,” said Clemens. be 2 a X09 ANS Ag GRACE ELLENBERG high school student who had never taken a foreign language would come to East Carolina under a_ special ‘deficiency program’ - he’d have to take French 1 and French 2, for example, for no credit, in order to make up for what he hadn't taken in high school.

The student without experience would be competing in the same class with an experienced student,” said Clemens. “Is that fair? The students took OR.

Building two weeks ago as the pledges of the Omega Psi Phi Fratemity performed before a crowd of students assembled there. Song and dance routines were all a part of the final week of the fratemity’s pledge period called “hell week”. Hell week, in addition to being the final pledge week, is the period when the Pledgees undergo their most difficult tests before obtaining brotherhood in the fraternity. Six young men, Cedric Dickerson, Jackson Farrar, Alvin Joyner, Dalton Nicholson, Connie Knight and Dennis Humphrey, marched toward the center area of the campus, attracting a fairly large audience to watch the block show. Wear- ing dog collars and shaven heads _ they went through a series of dance routines stomping their feet to the rhythmic beat and singing of their love for Omega Psi Phi. There was a special show planned for each day of hell week, and each day the audience was noticeably larger than the day before. The purposes behind the block shows are very simple. They are entertaining to the students, and they allow the Omega pledgees to express their pride in their fratemity. Most of all, block shows are something that the brothers of Omega Psi Phi enjoy doing. Black A By HELENA WOODARD Staff Writer Ken Hammond, program director of the newly formed Black Arts Festival Steering Committee, recently released the schedule for an upcoming Black Arts Festival. The thirteen member committee is a coalition of student and faculty members from various campus organizations. The first Black Arts Festival, which began two years ago, was discontinued last year due to lack of participation the previous year. After much planning, Hammond and the Student Union Committee selected members and revived the Festival. The Black Arts Festival will open on April 3, with a lecture by William E. Artis, a renown sculptor from Mankata State College. His topic, “The Black Artist in America: a personal commentary,” will be held in the Biology auditorium at 11 :00 a.m. Artis is under the direct sponsorship of the African Studies Committee. Dr. Regina A. Perry, of Virginia Commonwealth University, will speak on “African Influences in Afro-American Art,” in the Brewster Building on April 4, at 41:00 am. Dr. Perry will also lecture on “African Art: Comparative Perspectives’, at 2:00 p.m. in the Biology auditorium. A gospel singing festival, featuring five groups from the local and surrounding areas, will be conducted in Wright auditorium on Sunday, April 7, at 3:00 p.m. The groups will include The Warren Chapel Gospel Singers The Voices of Zion, The Wilson Gospel Singers, The Grifton Chapel Young People’s Choir, and The Gospel Revelation Singers from BY GUY COX NOW THAT THE PLEDGEES are initiated as brothers, the block response, Omega Psi Phi is planning more presentations for spring quarter. rts Festival planned Goldsboro. A “rap session” dealing with the Soul City Project will feature a representative speaker on April 9, at 7:30 p.m. in room 201 of the Student Union. On April 18, following the Easter break, Dr. Charles Hurst, former president of Malcolm X University, will re-open the Festival with a lecture on “aspects of educational revolution as it pertains to the Black experience.” A Black film festival, featuring “Wattstax” and “To Be Young, Gifted, and Black”, will be held in Wright Auditorium on April 20. “Wattstax”, a documentary film, explores the grievances of blacks before and after the Watts, California riot. An African food and dance workshop will L@ conducted by Dr. Robert Bunger, ECU Dept. of Anthropology and Dr. Saunders, Physical Education Depart- ment, on April 24, in room 201 of the Student Union. The workshop will include a discussion and samplings of African foods, and demonstrations of African dances. _ The Communicators and the Black Experience Band from Durham will provide the music for a street dance from 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. in the area between Rawi and the Student Union on April 27. The dance will be moved to Wright auditorium if the weather is not permissible Finally, a sing-in held in the amphitheater behind Fletcher dorm will close out the Black Arts Festival on April 28, at 8:00 p.m The public is invited to attend all of these events. The only admission for the public will be to the lectures, and students will be admitted with |.D. cards.

Orchestra, choirs, dancers and a chorus of street people brought together all at once. The show here, presented by East Carolina University Playhouse and School of Music, is a good one overall. Minor pro- blems dot the performance. John Russell wrestles with a guitar he is supposed to be playing. At times the crowd of people on stage mill about, the click of tape recorders is distracting, and isolated difficulties in hearing are disturbing. More problems are the segments of the show devoid of energy. Most troublesome is the failure to present the theme of the piece clearly. Is the theme joy in God, doubt, hope? It is all these things, but the contrasts between each, and the developmental movement of the play is vague. More important than the production’s problems are its successes. Each player and sub-group has done his job well. Along with the production as a whole, John Russell in the role of the celebrant wavers at times, but is more often powerful and touching. Ronny Lake, the boy soprano, falls into the same pattern - sometimes weak, sometimes strong - but essentially performing well. Music is the basic ingredient in MASS. The orchestra plays beautifully and expertly brings the score to life. Both of the choirs features in MASS sang well. Robert iHause Charles Moore and Edgar Loessin are to be commended for their couraye in bringing a boys’ choir of twenty-five o the stage, and the boys for their perfo: mance. The chorus of street people and dancers sparked the visual production. The success or failure of the show rested with them. Their dynamic interpretation of the score, their talent, and, most of all, their energy sustained the performance. What MASS needs now is more of their energy to shore up the sagging portions of the show, and to present more clearly the theme of MASS. £3 STUDENT PUBLICATIONS Now is the time for you to get involved in Student Publications.

ART By LAURIE BRUTON Staff Writer What does the basement of Grahm Memorial Hall hold? This building, located on the UNC campus, stores a collection of 600 antique dolls from all over the world. The showcases start in the Mediterranean part of the world with shelves of dolls from Greece, Yugoslavia and Egypt. An Egyptian doll that caught my eye is one made of hard wood, wearing a fur wrap with beads and shells pierced through his larger than ordinary ears. His face is long and solemn, his carved eyes wide and staring and his nost is his largest feature. He has no arms. The next set of showcases feature the mid-Western countries of Europe including Germany and Austria. The robustness of these dolls is probably their most outstanding characteristic. The girls are hefty and red-cheeked, their colorful clothing worn in layers. One husky, little German school-girl wears a felt red and black frock with a green silk apron and gold brocade. Her real hair, worn in braids to her waist, is neatly tied with ribbons. Her cherub- looking male companion stands beside her. His blond curls are hand-painted onto his bisque face, as well as his eyes and mouth. He sports a pair of grey flannel knickers and cream crocheted stockings. His green velvet vest and colorful bowtie give him an air of sophistication. A male doll from Lapland caught my eye in the next case. Wrapped entirely in seal fur, his stiff physique gives us the impression that he is wearing much more underneath. His green and yellow flannel trim, on his waist and sewn up the front of his fur wrap, tell us of a festive note in the air. His snow shoes by his side and his tough skin boots warn us of harsh, cold weather. The Far East collection of dolls, range in color from vivid emerald green to subtle rose and peach colors. Their dress consists of short tunic types of jackets varying in texture and pattern depending on the status of the individual character. From the jacket to just above the ankle, some wear a long skirt split open on the side, very much like the fashion of the Georgetown Shoppes ] é é ¢ é ; Terrariums H very nice ; é DDD WWW GS VWSW BV BW BV VW WF SF BV VSVVWVSWVVWVWVSVSF FV V TS VTVVVVWVWV VV VW TV VW THE MUSHROOM The Easter Bunny has brought us many goodies for your baskets!

Senior show By LAURIE BRUTON Staff Writer Ivey Chadwick's Senior Show is a clean, highly organized display of his works as a candidate for a BFA in Commercial Art. Perhaps you have seen the Hair poster on campus on which he collaborated with Shep Shepard. In full colors of red, yellow and blue, the two standing nudes vibrate in repetitive form - the blue and yellow in the figures interplay and overshadow themselves as do the forms. The poster's yellow lettering, advertis- ing the musical, stands on a_ red background. The lettering is thus boldly pronounced and mechanically works itself into an easily read pattern. Another outstanding design is his commercial submittence of a logo and exterior design for the shop “Hip Pocket”. An intertwined arrow points to and surrounds a bluejean pocket that is set off to the right. in a vibrant pattern of colors and conventional shapes, the outside painted wall of the shop is relayed to the public by a simple message. A rhythmical metamorphosis is set up to display the growth and evolution of a logo for the Jello, people. Again, conventional shapes and an arrow are used to lead the public’s eye from J to O. Vivid red, yellow and green are used along the way and when viewed as a whole the colors of the six representations are seen as having been juggled.

East Carolina, like most universities cross-country, is moving more and more toward relaxed admissions requirements (see story, page 1); the dropping of the foreign language entrance requirement here reflects the same change. Things change. Unfortunately, in the course of change, some things find themselves getting short shrift; sometimes in the commendable process of making a university education more available, we tend to downgrade those things that make a university education so valuable in the first place. One of those “short shrift” areas is foreign language; with the general leaning away from the humanities and toward the vocational, social sciences, literature etc. are bound to suffer as well - but languages have their own problem. They've generally suffered from a bad press to begin with - how many students consider foreign language really vital? Most seem to rank it somewhere between Math 65 and Health 12 in all-around popularity. A foreign language tends to take more work than do the other, humanities areas: it’s easier to take literature — than it is to translate German, French, Spanish or Russian. And anyway, who needs to speak those languages in eastern North Carolina. The crazy part is that foreign language may be well on its way to becoming essential to most of us. More foreign industries are locating in this country; international events touch us more, and can be understood better in the context of a nation’s own language and culture. How much more a lot of us might get out of, for example, Solzhenitsyn’s plight if we knew more about his work, language or country - more than the capsulized comments the newspapers toss out. This isn’t to say that foreign language will save mankind, or that students should immediately devote their lives to language study, or that a foreign language alone can teach you all there is to know about the world. But a foreign language can teach an English major the differences in the way other literatures are developed; it can be useful for locating research in other languages; a major in history or political science can read the work of theorists or writers in the original tongue, ratner tnan believing what other people say they said. A foreign language can be a big help in just figuring out how another nation thinks: what kind of idioms do they use, what are their jokes primarily about, why do they have so many descriptive words for one thing and so few for another? There’s more to language than nouns and verbs. This isn’t an evangelistic plea; everyone has personal preferences. | sat through two quarters of one language and absolutely hated it, until | realized that it just wasn’t “my” language - neither it nor | were suited to each other. But | do know what “my” language is - and it’s been a massive help in many ways. . _such as in those ponderous resource materials where the author writes coherently for several pages and suddenly lays a half-page quote on you in an alien tongue - without translation. (Occasionally you'll hit one who uses quotes in Greek, in which case you can either learn Greek fast or pray for guidance). The whole key to doing a foreign language, as | learned, is not to take it as if it were a walk down the gangplank. Even if it’s a requirement in your major, tell yourself you're taking it because you want to. In fact, taking it as an elective is about the best position - that way, you don’t feel that anyone’s got you down or is trying to enculturate you at gunpoint. Between foreign language's bad press and those awful memories many of us have of our high school French | or Spanish | courses (all those little stories about Pierre or Juan going to school and being terribly polite), language has gotten a raw deal. Act- ually, it can be rewarding; it can make you think outside the United States. It’s unlike anything else you can take, because you can’t cope with it on the old familiar terms many of us use to cruise through courses. Perhaps the dropping of the language entrance requirement will remove that stigma of high school language from new freshmen, and make them want to take languages simply because they've never taken them before. Maybe foreign language will eventually lose its Math 65/Health 12 status. While you may argue that you don’t need foreign language in your profession, think of it this way - you ‘don’t need’ great literature, drama, history, art, music or even people, either. You can come home and stare at a wall if you want to until it’s time to go to work again. The point is that everyone has to climb out of himself sometime and see things differently, and foreign languages offer one way of doing it. Whether you do it through literature or drama or history or foreign language (which can involve all the others) is up to you. But unless you find something outside yourself, staring at that wall may start looking like a better and better thing to do, and your life may well narrow down to reading Readers Digest and getting up in the morning. And that, after all, is the very thing most of us are violently opposed to becoming. Whatever you do, get out of yourself every once in awhile, look down from the ceiling or learn something disturbingly new. Things may look better. By SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER My long-term battle for adequate appropriations for the nation’s defense is a major reason why | deplore President Nixon’s record-breaking $304 billion budget for the fiscal year 1975. Increased spending for defense is desperately needed, not only because the Vietnamese war depleted many of our supplies but also because of Russia’s massive military buildup in all phases of armaments. But if there is one thing that will cause the Congress to cut the guts out of the expenditures earmarked for defense, it is the deliberate padding of social engineering projects So near and dear to the hearts of all anti-Nixon liberals. The problem would not be nearly as acute if it could be drummed into the consciousness of the American people that defense outlays have decreased from ahigh of 43 percent of the national budget in 1969 to only 29 percent in 1975. During this same time, the projected spending for social welfare purposes has gone up from 33 percent to 50 percent of the total budget. | am_ firmly convinced _ that the American taxpayer has no conception of the basic reasons why his payroll withholding for personal income taxes is constantly increasing. It is too easy for one who worries about such things to write off the blame for large budgets as a consequence of large military spending. And he has good reason for this kind of an attitude. During the whole ruckus over the so-called military-industrial complex and it bearing on public spending, no one in a position of authority in Congress would consider examining the vast expansion of money spent on welfare and social projects. Consequently, those who worried about high federal spending got in the habit of assuming that it resulted from an arms race with the Soviet Union. During the hearings on waste and inefficiency in the Pentagon, conducted in 4970-1971 by a Senate committee headed - by Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.), | repeatedly urged that the inquiry be expanded to Health, Education and Welfare. | might just as well have shouted into a hurricane-force wind. It will be recalled that last year—before the Watergate scandals blossomed into a crisis--economy in government was the watchword, and domestic austerity in the federal government became the latest voque in economic circles. For a time, immediately following the 1972 election, it actually looked as though an ax wielded by the executive branch would be laid to the roots of many costly, useless and overlapping federal programs. These were frills added to the federal establishment by liberal politicians competing for first prize in the category of “most humane and compassionate” amont the nation’s lawmakers. It was seldom mentioned that the competition was over programs financed with taxpayers’ money. However, all the good intentions of the executive department announced in last year’s budget went down the drain this year. An Administration whose spokes- man had ascended to public power by assailing a liberal tendency to try to solve problems by throwing money at them is now working from a blueprint which calls extremely grave conseq for the solution of public problems by throwing money at them. Consequently we are now given a Republican budget that calls for an enlargement of the federal bureaucracy, new life for programs that last year were slated for the chopping block and a substitution of a promise of official “flexibility” for last year's promise of a rigid spending “ceiling.” It could have uences for the nation and the entire Free World. The impact of government spending in a $304 billion project could send our already inflated prices right through the roof of our economy. There are a lot of things wrong in Washington, D.C. at the present time. But nothing appears worse than the planning being made for the national capital’s observance of this country’s 200th anniversary in 1976. Of all the hundreds of projects being planned by enthusiastic and patriotic Americans, the District of Columbia has won first prize for bad taste and stupidity in connection with the anniversary celebration. It seems that the Bicentennial Center for the District was dedicated last month by Washington Mayor Walter Washington, as a representative of theWhite House and other dignitaries looked on. Immediately above the dedication ceremony was a new mural which was painted for the bicentennial offaice by a little-known artist who was commissioned for the job. If it hadn’t been so ludicrous, the mural would have been an object of humor or at least a conversation piece. Actually, it was a disgrace to the occasion and an example of what can happen in a busy town where political partisans grind their axes at every opportunity. It seems the mural, which was intended to illustrate a valid part of the American scene by drawing our country’s first two centuries together, depicted such great proponents of democracy aS Karl Marx. the father of communism, Friedrich Engels, Marx’s associate; Josef Stalin, the bloodiest and most ruthless of all Communist dictators, and Mao Tse-tung, leader of the Chinese Communists. However, the painter didn't confine his mural to depicting the instigators and leaders of the most powerful Communist regimes in the world. He threw in, just for the heck of it, a caricature of President Nixon wearing a mustache and dressed like George Raft in e class B Gangster movie. Also included was a sketch of President Nixon’s daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox, with an Afro hairdo. And topping off this allegedly patriotic American scene was a picture of Angela Davis. The painting has been whitewashed and painted over now—but the problem of bad judgment remains. Of course, in Washington we hear a great deal about freedom of expression and of how an insensitive government enjoys tramplins this freedom. Thus it was not surprising that when the magazine U.S. News and World Report demanded an explanation from the D.C. Bicentennial Commission, it was told that the Communist figures in the mural were a valid part of the American scene because “all were involved in some way with the United States over the past 200 years.” Continued on page seven. ithe staff. : FOUNTAINHES ifuse printing ‘obscenity, an ‘independent | -issues.

However, now | am inclined to believe these students after a brief ‘encounter’ with our “beloved protectors.” Here | stand, on a typically windy night in Greenville, on the side of Cotanche Street between two parked cars, trying to thumb a ride back to “the hill.” And here comes one of the infamous blue and white cruisers. He (the “object” in question) pulls his status symbol up beside me and proceeds to ask for some identification. After handing him my driver's license, he replies, “Are you aware of what you're doing wrong?” | said no. He says somehting to the effect that | am standing in the “line of traffic” (in Greenville?) in search of a ride, when I’m actually standing at least three feet from where any car could possible pass.

Maybe we should import some professional crooks, murderers and thieves in order to keep them busy. Or maybe we should just get rid of the P.D. (Pig Department?). A Reader Concerts To Fountainhead: Attention: Popular Entertainment Com- mitee It has been brought to the attention of the Men’s Residence Council that there will be no more popular entertainment concerts for the remainder of this year. On behalf of all students, the M.R.C. would like to voice strong objections and concern at this decision. A majority of students can not understand the procedures of the “people who make the decisions”. There has been the feeling that further Pop concerts will result in a further loss of money and a deficit toward next year's budget. Most students feel that as long as second-rate entertainment packages are booked on campus in place of top-r name attractions, vgs Pop Entertain t mittee should not expect f top. This pessimistic attitude is unfair to our student body. A student poll’ should be conducted and the Pop Entertainment Committee should devote all of their efforts toward obtaining the entertainment that the students demand. It is highly unlikely that a student survey would indicate much interest in a circus as a major attraction. Students feel that the restrictions placed on audiences at our Pop concerts play a major factor in discouraging many students to attend, (and probably discouraging big groups from making the effort to journey to Greenville). Our students become disgusted, and disin- terested when they attend concerts on other campuses in this state with little, if any, restrictions and top attractions. We all know that money is an important factor in the decision-making process, however, we also know that our students pay a great deal of money to the University and presently, see little return. We realize that we have raised many questions, with few answers. Through the Fountainhead, we invite the Pop Entertainment Committee to inform all students about what it’s been doing, what its problems are, and its plans for the future. The popular entertainment situation on our campus is a great concer to a majority of our students. We are hoping that some positive steps can be taken to initiate changes in next year’s policies, and hopefully, to obtain a top attraction this Spring. Thank you, Men's Residence Council New club To Fountainhead: | wish to announce the newest organization on campus, the Bureaucrary Against Ducks and Dogs (hereafter referred to as BADD). Anyone who has ever had to lose their place on the wall in the sun because some belligerant canine wants some free lunch should realize the potential value of BADD. Anyone whose peace of mind has ever been destroyed by the continuous quacking issuing forth from Berlinesque Buildings-cum-coops will rush to swell the ranks of BADD. Anyone who has ever had to do the foxtrot routine across campus in order to avoid both duck and dog droppings must rise in righteous wrathful support of BADD. BADD's program is simple and could be easily implemented: 1) Flood Do-Not-Enter Street between Wright Circle and Whal Coates Theatre; construct Venetian Duck Blinds. 2) Run suspension bridges between the second floors of all buildings and across Tenth Street. 3) Require radio transmitters on all ducks, dogs, pigs, bicycles and frisbees in order to track their movements. Can't you imagine ECU with a strong BADD organization on campus? Can't you imagine yourself as a BADD-ASS 51 Of ash y, no stamps at my earliest convenience. Sincerely, N.L. Battle, Jr. Your fees To Fountainhead: Having read Bobby Rippy’s article in the forum conceming the Hanneford Circus, | am now further convinced that outsiders are truly beginning to reap the benefits paid for byour fees. In addition to the Circus bit, there is another matter that needs to be brought to the attention of ECU students. This past Tuesday afternoon, several of my friends and | were playing tennis on the courts up on the hill in front of Jones Dorm. We were interrupted by a young man dressed in a suit who informed us that we would have to leave the courts because they were reserved for that afternoon. We offered no resistance and we gathered our equipment and walked off. Upon investigation, we learned that the Rose High School tennis team was scheduled to play a tennis match there. My friends and |, not to mention the others who were asked to leave, were really appalled at that information. We could not believe it. As aresult of further inquiry, we also learned that the City of Greenville does not allow their own public high school to play its matches at The Elm Street Courts; and consequently Rose High would have to play their entire schedule on our courts. But yet good ole gullible ECU lends a helping hand and allows Rose High to play on her courts which were constructed by the SGA supposedly for the students here. Among P.E. classes, the women’s tennis team, and -now Rose High School, it is impossible for the men and women to play tennis on the courts on the hill unless we play at night, but many of us do have to study you know. If the City of Greenville doesn’t even give a damn about its own public high school, then why should ECU? I’m sure the men _ residents remember the notice that was slipped under their dorm room doors a while back that stated ECU students were forbidden to enter on the Rose High School campus. Don’t you think the agreement should be mutual? It is really a crying shame that a school the size of ECU, which lacks sufficient recreational facilities for its own students, lends what few courts that are available to a high school team, ignoring completely the needs and wants of its students. ECU loans Rose High it track and football stadium, what more does the high school want? | suggest that whoever granted Rose High permission to use our courts t r maybe next rat ive another match. Sincerely Ben Toler Derek Perry Richard Whitlark Dickie Eason Goldwater Continued from page six. I'm not going to argue with this explanation further than to point out that if these individuals were a valid part of the American scene, it was—and here | should like to borrow the jargon of today’s youth—a “bummer” of a scene. True enough, Marx, Engels, Stalin, Mao and Angela Davis were indeed involved in some way with the United States over the past 200 years. So were John Dillinger, Adolf Hitler, the Boston Strangler, Jack the Ripper and Benito Mussolini. Maybe | got the wrong impression, but | thought this 200th anniversary celebration was to be in the nature of a super-duper 4th of July celebration. | still think | am right, despite what the artist and whoever hired him seem to think. | believe the observance should be a time when we rededicate ourselves to the ideals and principles of men like Washington, Jefferson, Ben Franklin, the Adams family, Abraham Lincoln, and other individuals in our past who eamed the right to be remembered and to be honored by a grateful nations. The list of people who could have appeared in that mural with much greater merit is endless. And | am not insisting or even suggesting that the list should be limited to former public officials or statesmen. What would be wrong with honoring individuals who have contributed to this nation’s greatness, convenience, comfort and progress? Why not replace Marx, Mao and so forth with people like Thomas A. Edison, Mark Twain, John Philip Sousa and Louis Armstrong? And why not bring it up to date by including great American astronauts as Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. and Neil Armstrong? if this mural was painted as a joke, it was a lousy attempt at humor--one of the worst 8 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 43/28 MARCH 1974 etl lta eee La ne ae cc English department offers new courses By CAROLYN DAVIS Staff Writer The English Department has two new course offerings this quarter. One, English 270 The American Frontier taught by Doug McReynolds, is to become a permanent addition to the catalog listing for English courses. The other, English 394 The American Dream taught by Dr. William Bloodworth, is a special topic course which is being offered this quarter only. McReynolds’ American frontier course is based on an underlying theme rather than on a particular period of time in literature as are the majority of English courses offered. Designed by McReynolds, the course offers a look at “the attitudes and characters of America and Americans expressed by people involved in the opening of the frontier,” he said. McREYNOLDS DOUG McReynolds explained that the westward movement had an effect on American's consciousness. Some of the effects can be seen in the literature written during that time of expansion in reaction to the movement. Reactions are found in the myths, folklore, tales, and heroes of today that originated from the movement to the frontier, he continued. Because the course is centered around atheme, rather than a literary period, some of the works read in the course are not of necessarily high literary quality but do carry the idea of the times. Both McReynolds and Dr. Erwin Hester, chairman of the English Department, feel this is important for a thematically structured course. “Ina course with a thematic structure you get to work on pieces that are not really polished, but do contribute to the idea,” Hester said. “It (the course) requires a good deal of reading, perhaps more than other 200 level courses. But it’s light reading, not a textual analysis. It’s interesting material. There may be little cultural significance in it, but it’s just interesting,” McReynolds said of the novels and short works he has chosen for the course. Some of the works read in the course are: THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS by James Fenimore Cooper; THE VIRGINIAN by Owen Wister; THE OX-BOW INCIDENT by Walter van Tilburg Clark; and ROUGHING IT by Mark Twain. Although The American Frontier will continued to be offered, this is the only quarter it will be taught by McReynolds, who is leaving ECU after summer school. He will be entering the University of Denver to begin working for a doctorate in creative writing. SGA passes bill to protect funds By SUSAN QUINN Staff Writer A bill which would protect student funds was passed by the legislature Monday. This bill will provide for bi-monthly or monthly payment periods for those students receiving payment from SGA funds through the student Fund Accounting Office. Payment will be made on the lact business day of the payment schedule for work performed during that schedule rather than the first day of the working schedule. This bill was created to avoid paying students for possible unfinished work. The legislature also passed a bill to appropriate $1,300 for the SGA Installation Banquet. In addition to this amount each student attending the banquet will be required to pay $1.50 to help pay for the expenses of the banquet. Approximately 150 people will attend the banquet, including 48 student legislators and distinguished guests. A resolution concerning self-limiting hours for Fleming, Jarvis, Greene and Cotten dormitories was recommitted so that more research concerning students’ opinions on self-limiting hours in freshmen dorms and the feasibility of self-limiting hours in all dorms could be done. Speaker of the Legislature, Braxton Hall, appointed Lee McLaughlin and Terry Wood as clerks of the legislature. A special topics seminar, English 394 is being offered only this quarter. Hester explained that the English courst list has two course numbers for special topics which can be used by any English teacher who desires to teach a course in a certain subject, or when enough students request that a special BY GUY COX DR. wiLlvaap seBLOODWORTH course be taught for a subject not included in the regular listing. “The advantages of this set-up are two- fold,” said Hester. “One, it gives a chance to try ideas for new courses, and two, it gives an opportunity to treat an area of study that really is not necessarily wanted to be made a permanent course.” LITERARY STYLE byt The American Dream and Literary Style in the 1930's is concerned with a look at the combining forces of history and literature during the critical period of the 1930's in Americ by studying the response of American writers of this time. Here again, some works chosen for study are not of the finest literary quality, but do express the responses typical of the feelings of the thirties. Bloodworth explained that writers in the thirities were disturbed by what was happening to American society as a result of the depression and were looking for an alternate form of life. “The American dream” expressed by these writers was an effort to “make America conform to people's expectations of it,” Bloodworth said. Some of the ideas expressed by the writers studied in the course are skepticism of American capitalism, a de-emphasis of individuality and a turning to collectivism as a better form of society, India print bedspreads and leanings toward communism or people working as a group to achieve an end. The literature studied is not exemplory of any particular kind of writing style and is not read for a study of artistic aspects of the books. “In the thirties there was a turning away from art for art’s sake and aesthetics to documentaries of the times and the people,” explained Bloodworth. John Steinbeck is the best example of a writer's attitudes of this time Bloodworth feels. Steinbeck shows in his works that the problems of American society are not so much individual’s problems, as basic problems in society itself. Two novels of major importance to the course are Steinbeck’s GRAPES OF WRATH and Henry Roth’s CALL IT SLEEP. Other novels being studied in the course are: HARD TIMES edited by Studs Terkel; THE AMERICAN WRITER AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION edited by Harvey Swados; JEWS WITHOUT MONEY by Michael Gold; UNCLE TOM’S CHILDREN by Richard Wright; and LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN by James Agee. The course is being taught “because of my own bias and _ interest,” said Bloodworth. Bloodworth wrote his doc- toral thesis on Upton Sinclair, a writer who had some effect on the thirties. He is presently completing a book on Sinclair which will go to the printers at the end of spring 1974. Although the book has been accepted for publication, the date for printing has not been set.

The literature in translation” courses are bxamples - English-language classes broviding a basic groundwork in foreign iteratures. These courses are particular avorites with English majors. Why the interest in civilization?

Dr. icole Aronson, a native of France and an E VY ssociate professor of foreign languages, AENT xpressed mixed feelings. “| visit many high schools,” she said, ‘because | am a native speaker, and | talk 0 students in the languages classes.” “| have noticed great enthusiasm among the students - they ask questions they have prepared in French, and they seem to be quite interested.” But how does she feel about changing definite. nough.” “| have no statistics on enrollment, no ‘acts on hand such as Mrs. Perry might ave,” she said. “But | know what | feel, nd | feel that the dropping of that equirement was wrong.” ENROLLMENT UP ave not appeared as yet. Enrollment in foreign languages is up and there is no nticipation of a dropping of the language requirement for graduation. While faculty members are less than happy about the entrance requirement situation, some unforeseen benefits may be in sight. “| deplore the change,” said Dr. Joseph sqyFernandez, professor of foreign lang- sJuages. “It’s just another blow to the study of foreign language in general, and | feel the study of language is important to a liberal education.” KN HO eA shades® & the entrance requirement? As with the rest ,. of the language faculty, her opinion was 5 “| was very much against it,” she 3 id. “The reasons for the change may 9 anguages... However, Dr. Fernandez agreed that making language less mandatory for college entrance might be beneficial. “Perhaps students will begin taking language much as they choose to take anthropology - as an elective.” he said, “and they could get into it tha’ way.” In addition, beginning a language in college might eliminate those bitter memories of poor high school teaching that often turn students against a language. “Yes,” said Fernandez, “in one high school they might have a teacher who took afew semesters of French, and they'll say, ‘All right, you teach French’ - not because he knows so much but because he knows more than the rest who had none.” ACADEMIC CREDIT A further optimistic point regards student academic credit. A high school student taking a language would, under the new entrance requirement, actually be doing college-level work. The college placement test would give full credit for such work, and would put the student ahead in terms of college credit. This might inspire the high school student to “get ahead” early, and at the same time satisfy his ego by having a competitive edge on his peers. Dr. Fernandez, while against the decrease in emphasis on language and humanities, was philosophical. “There has been a general relaxation of college requirements nationwide,” he said. “The experience in most colleges has been that there is a decided drop in language classes, but this generally bottoms out and the increase begins.” “! believe we're going through that now, and starting to increase.” DR. JAMES SMITH, Edith Webber and the League of Wo FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 43/28 MARCH 1974 ° pesagg ANA aI NODA OPIS Fernandez emphasized the cycle in language enrollment and interest in the humanities. RISE IN INTEREST “Everything occurs in cycles,” he said, “and | believe we're headed for a rise in interest in the humanities. Language is essential in particular to business, and now that more foreign companies are opening up here, language may prove itself to be indispensable.” At least at East Carolina, no answer has yet appeared as to the fate of foreign language study. Most probably, that fate will be neither the hopeless doom of the cynics not the massive upsurge promised by the optimists. Foreign language, being traditional and highly essential to many majors - such as music, art, and, to some degree, business - will simply prevail. The language faculty is less than happy about the entrance requirement change, but realizes that the change is simply indicative of a turn toward the technical in the university. No one is quite estatic yet no wind-down of language study is expected. But, just in case, East Carolina’s foreign language department is looking ahead. LANGUAGE FESTIVAL “We're planning a foreign language festival for our department’s 50th anniversary this year,” said Perry. “We're inviting! high school students to set up exhibits here, and we’re having music, a guitarist recommended by Andres Segovia...” the provost has given us permission to print up a new brochure for the department of foreign languages and literatures.” “Pos aN NM BY GUY COX DR. JOSEPH FERNANDEZ Perry was obviously happy about these developments. Was she recruiting? “You bet,” she said, grinning broadly. Foreign languages, like the rest of the humanities, have been dealt a blow by university systems which emphasize the vocational or have adopted open admission policies. However, until further notice, East Carolina’s language program is still very much alive and kicking.

Continued from page one. any trouble booking a group because the groups’ promoters have a population of 300,000 plus to draw audiences from, and therefore they can get more money and are able to attract more people than we can. We have only a month at the most to draw up posters and enforce some type of advertising campaign before concert dates, and then we have only a few people who are going to come When the Student Union contracts a group, an arrangement is usually made wherein the Union gets from 30 percent to 50 percent of the gate profits, after already paying the group a set sum, usually between $7,500 and $10,000. This gate percentage is variable, depending upon the set rate the Union says it will pay. If the proceeds do not override total production cost, the concert is termed a loss. The Student Union has no professional promoters working for it, Kennedy said. “We can't offer them(bands) chauffered limousines, liquor and places to stay,” he said. “Professional promoters can be more extravagant because they’re assured they'll get their returns by being able to attract such a large audience. It is because of this, Kennedy said, that concerts were scheduled on week days in the past. “We're really lucky to book a group a month before the concert date,” he said, “because that group has probably already been booked for every weekend in the year. In other words, our Student Union sometimes has to take a second best.” Greenville’s placement is ancther factor which bears heavily on the concert problem. The only commercial airports within an hour's drive are too small to handle commercial jets, and promoters and agents often think in terms of accessibility to and from locations. That concert the musicians are about to perform is usually only one of many in a fortnight of one day stands. Also, there are no important interstate systems connecting Greenville with other major population centers adding to the accessibility problem. The committee which chooses coming concerts is headed by Tona Price, who was appointed by Kennedy, subject to the Union's Board of Directors. Price then chose committee members, under the supervisiono f Kennedy. The Pops Committee then chooses groups they think the students want to hear The committee, Kennedy said, has taken polls in the past as to what groups Students would like to hear, but all of them had met with little success. No funds are taken from student activity fees to sponsor the Union's concerts. but rather, proceeds are used from profitable programs to insure financial impetus. But since the Union had been losing money on concerts, according to Kennedy some $500 will have to be taken from students in the This will give the Pops Committee some $50,000 to work with to our editor. g year ar Once ag University athle tell the Athletic Saturday's | ence in many managed to cré call a press bo ' was dripping c | would like $100.00 worth charge) and er The PA sys had ripped the | fell on deaf ear | know who was | It was also | Monte Little < | performing ab | do it. | We have a and the fans t | Now that \ 4 Our Officer Selection Officers are looking for a few good college men— | maybe 3 out of 100—who will make good Marine officers.

That contest with the Bruins has to be rated as one of the finest st-season NCAA contests played. The game was billed as the “Dream Game”. It is ashame that NBC-TV called upon a ‘nightmare” announcer to bring the game into the living rooms of millions. Once again Curt Gowdy proved that his ability has long since vanished. He nstantly got names, numbers and scores confused and in general the man took a great leal away from the game. It was funny and at the same time it was quite sad. Gowdy isn't as clear-headed as he supposedly used to be and | am afraid that the game of sports nouncing has long since passed him by.

To this reporter, Curt Gowdy is the prime example of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”. SECOND RATE?

The last time | did this | was accused of everything from trying to tell the Athletic Director how to perform his job to being libelous. Anyway... Saturday's baseball game with Shippensburg State College was a frustrating experi- ence in many ways.

This was the second consecutive tournament for the ECU golfers who finished third behing NCSU and UNC-CH. On the final day of play, the Pirate golfers were tied with Appalachian State University for third place. The top man from each school vied in a sudden death play-off. Ed Pinnix did the honors for ECU by breaking the tie on the first hole of the play-off. First-year Coach Bill Cain remarked on the weekend at Camp LeJeune, “We had a very good first day. We were in second place only two strokes out of first place. However, our second day was rather disasterous as we dropped from second place to tie for fifth.” Then on the third day we came back strong to finish third.” Scoring for ECU was close. Medalist Car! Bell shot rounds of 70, 72 and 76 fora three day total of 218. He was followed closely by Pinnix who had rounds of 72, 74 and 73 for atotalof 219. In third place for ECU was Tommy Boone with scores of 77, 75 and 72, making his score 224. Doug Owens followed Boone with a 225 total, his individual scores being 73, 74 and 78. Steve Ridge had rounds of 72, 79 and 76 to total 227. He was followed by Bebo Batts who had a 231 total with scores of 78, 77 and 76. Par for the course was 72. Owens won the individual putting contest held before tournament play began. Twenty-one colleges attended the tournament. The Pirate golfers are scheduled for their third straight tournament, March 28-30, when they attend the Furman Intercollegiate Invitational Golf Touma ment in Greenville,S.C. Furman, ECU, ASU and The Citadel will represent the Southern Conference in a field of major competition. The rest of the field will be comprised of teams from Wake Forest, Georgia Southern, NCSU, UNC-CH, Georgia Tech, and the universities of Georgia and South Carolina. The golfers are 1-0 in dual match play having defeated UNC-W 19-2. AS Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs. ] 2 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 5, NO. 43/28 MARCH 1974 Patton to upgrade cage program By STEVE TOMPKINS Staff Writer He must face NCAA champion N.C. 3tate in his first game a head coach. He yeeds to recruit a big man to be competitive. He must go after that all mportant fan support. And to add to this mountain, he must win. At Georgia Southern College Dave Patton wasn't a star, he was in his own words, “A caddy. | brought the ball in and got it to our shooters.” But Patton was a winner as he helped his team to two NAIA championship tournaments. Patton's main interest in coaching was first baseball, but admits “if it bounces, | love it, I've always been a jock.” Full court pressure defense and a high scoring offense are trademarks of Patton teams. He explained how he coaches. “Coaching is done in practice. You nake adjustments in a game. You might yactice a certain thing all week and then ‘ou get into a game and your opponent oes something entirely different. | like to rink | can detect an opponent’s weakness nd how to combat it. In conditioning | delieve a player and a basketball should be inseparable even in running.” But Patton believes winning involves several things, “I'd say 30 percent is a coaches technical knowledge of a _ game. Another 30 percent is motivation and psychology, getting your people ready to play. You can have the smartest coach in the world as far as X's and O's are concerned, but if your people aren't going to go out and play between those lines for you, you're not going to accomplish much. And then your player's talent would probably be about forty percent.” Patton commented on critics who say ECU needs a “big name coach”. “There are a lot of big name coaches in the game who are not really coaches, just big names. You never get a name until you get a chance. | hope to make the best of this chance and prove to my critics that they're wrong.” Patton remarked on the prospect of openning against N.C. State and then facing Duke. “We're going up there and play hard. | don't ever like to go into a game thinking we're going to lose. | don't care if it’s the national champion or the last place team. I'm going up there thinking we're going to win. It is achallenge to our players to face a Thompson or Towe and a great opportunity for recognition and exper- ience.” Many people have criticized the teams ECU plays at home, and Patton intends to change this. “This is one of the areas we'd like to improve. We would like to bring better name people in here to play, establish a relationship with a couple of other major schools where we'd play them on a home-and-home basis to make the schedule attractive for our students and fans. | think they deserve this.” On joining the ACC Patton says, “First of all it would help us as far as scheduling opponents. Everybody wants to play the ACC and it helps us bring in big name people. And our recruiting would also improve.” The support this year of the basketball program was extremely poor, and Patton hopes to improve this. cy COACH PATTON will concentrate on recruiting someone to complement the talents of Larry Hunt. “First we've got to get the interest built up in the student body. | hope to speak to all the student organizations on campus that will have me to explain our objectives and invite them to be a part of our program. The student body is the university and | want them to think this is their team also.” Patton sees the Southern Conference as more balanced than ever next year. Furman has won three of the last four years and loses only one starter, but Player of the Year Clyde Mayes returns. Davidson loses six players but they have a good recruiting program. William & Mary had a disappointing year but loses only one starter, and Richmond only loses Aron Stewart. As for East Carolina Patton is realistic “There are a couple of things that will have to happen for us to have a representative team. First we need help inside for Larry Hunt. If he fouls out we don't have anyone to replace him. | feel like we have the rest of the people to do the job. We need some luck in being free from injuries and winning close games. And we need our players to have a sense of pride in their team.” Patton has varied conference tournament. “It’s good and bad. | don't think it’s fair in choosing the NCAA because a team goes all the way through a season beating everyone and in the tournament loses, while the best team in the league goes nowhere. | like the tournament because it gives your players an added incentive at the end of the year. It’s according to which end you're looking at.” Recruiting now occupies Coach Patton’s and his assistant George Estes’ full time. The pressure will be insurmountable as the season draws closer though, and certainly the entire nation will be viewing both his and the Wolfpack's debut in Raleigh. views of the i goccccccccocococococce coccccccccccocooocoocs — : @ Sampson, Bladen and : 411 W.
