Morcan was named to the ECU Board i Tristees in 1958 and served on that board unt)! he resigned in 1973. For sever- 2 years Morgan was Chairman of the Board and one of ECU's strongest ROBERT MORGAN Morgan always carried the ECU banner Juring Nis ten years in the State Senate and was a close ally of ECU Chancatior Leo Jenk n his fight for a medical schoo! Morgan's interest in ECU dates back to js inc his wife's) graduation from the Morgan's wife, the former Katie Earie Jwen Graduated one year before her Nusban’ in 1946. Mrs. Morgan later earned an M.A. from ECC in 1984.

Senator was a cabinet officer, band member State student legislature representative and vice-presi dent of Ragsdale Hal! Morgan, a Democrat, was also a member of the Young Democrats Club for ne year while attending ECC Mrs Morgan, a class president, was named to Who's Who, and was selected Most Popular Girl” in the 1946 yearbook No fewer than 30 entries accompanied t Roseboro native's photo in the Tecoan After graduation in 1947, Morgan went to Wake Forest where he received his law degree in 1949 While still enrolled at Wake Forest he was elected Cierk of Superior Court in his native Harnett County. That was Morgan’s first challenge before his electorate and the start of nine elections, all successful Morgan was Clerk of Court for four years and then launched a five term career in the North Carolina Senate. That span was broken by a Cail to active duty during the Korean Conflict Morgan moved up the ladder quickly in the Senate and was selected President Pro-Tem in 1965 Morgan's last term in tne Senate came in 1967. He then ran for and won the N.C Attorney General's post, which he turned into a key post in the N.C. scheme of government. Under Morgan's leadership one of the first Consumer Protection Agencies in the South was formed Morgan also worked to increase the size of the State Bureau of Investigation and helped to establish the Criminal Justice Agency Morgan was considered by many to be a top candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1972, but he opted for a second term as head of the Justice Department and won handily. Morgan was soon recognized as the top bet to run for the U.S. Senate if Sam Ervin should decide not to seek another term. When Ervin resigned, Morgan received over 50 percent of the total vote against nine Democratic opponents. He then breezed through the general elections this past November with 64 per cent of the vote, outdistancing GOP foe William Stevens by over 250,000 votes. Morgan will take the rank of junior senator of N.C. behind Republican Jesse Helms The ECC graduate, according to a press secretary in his Raleigh office, has yet to be assigned to a Senate committee. It 1s reported tnat he desires a post on the Senate Judiciary Committee, a committee on which Ervin served. However, a spot on the prestigious Judiciary is doubtful and Morgan has listed his other preferences as Armed Forces, Labor and Education. The Morgans have three children, two daughters and one foster son who is now attending ECU.

The appropriations bill will not come out of the new session of the General Assembly until late June,” Jenkins said “The Accreditation Board meets at least one month before that time and we could not go before them without the assurance that we would get the funds,” ne said Jenkins also explained that a lack of personnel, and. particularly a Medical School Dean, wee key factors in the delay. “We are currently conducting a nationwide search for a Dean. We are of course looking for the very best and will not be rushed into any hasty decision,” he said The announcement of the Dean for the new four-year Medical School is expected in March, according to Jenkins.

Women may have no curfew or men may be locked up “Because most of the freshman women’s dorms are next to the downtown area, the threat of intruders is a possible problem,” Fulghum said. “! want the women to have the privilege of self-limiting hours and will continue to work for it.” ‘ Tim Sullivan, Freshman Class President, said that the employment of three more campus police would heip security conditions. “$10,000 would be needed to pay the salaries for these officers until June 1975,” Sullivan said. “I plan to negotiate with the campus administration and introduce a bili in the SGA for the funds.” By BOB CUNINGHAM Staff Writer The Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) ruling known as Title 9, which would require that men and women be treated equally in the eyes of campus administrators, has been postponed. Title 9 would give freshman women on the ECU campus the same unlimited hours curfew given to freshman men, or require that men's dorms on campus be locked by a certain hour. The residents would then have to present |.D.'s and MRC cards to campus policemen for admittance to their dormitories after hours. Title 9 has not been implemented at ECU because administration officials, according to campus attorney Dr. David Stevens, have not been given guidelines concerning enforcemerng. Though HEW has required enactment of Title 9, freshmen women will not heve self-limiting hours until at least Fall Quarter. Security conditions are not. yet sufficient for the use of Title 9, according to Carolyn Fuighum, Dean of Women.

More often than not, if you attempt to absorb every ittle item of news, you probably tend to end up more confused and “uninformed” than you were at the outset There is definitely a “trick” involved in being able to disseminate the avalanche of news content that confronts you each moming over your coffee. First of all you must consider that the news |s written by people like you and me, who are subject to the same sort of frustrations of “keeping informed”. Secondly, being somewhat less than super human these peopie must rely on certain “tricks” of the trade in order to put out a consistently fine-quality product Since we currently seem to be in the midst of an age where candid disclosures are THE vogue practice, | should like to impart to you one of these little “tricks” of the trade that might heip you get a better perspective on the news. It concerns the usage of a standardized format into which the appropriate details of a news store are inserted. Sort of a multiple choice of current controversy, if you will There's really nothing to it. It's just a matter of changing a few nouns and verbs around. And for those of you who have just about given up on yourselves, | thought it would be nice to bring you up to date with current events, using this little technique which you can employ in your Own reading, hereafter All you Nave to do, depending on what story you are interested in, is select the appropriate word in each bracket GOOD EVENING Dateline Washington The Nation's Capital was the scene of excitement today as (the President, Congress, tne Boy Scouts of America) returned after the long holiday recess. Up and about early, a spokesman for (the President, Congress, the B.S.A.) stated that the first priority of Ousiness for the day would be an immediate concentration on (the economy, breakfast, Knot-tying skills).

Al| jumpers must check their parachutes, reserve parachutes, helmets JUMPSuItS and boots. Many wear gloves for protection against the cold winds at high altitudes.

After three good dummy pulls, a student can make his first free-fall, pulling his own ripcord without the safety of an automatic pull by the static line. As the number of jumps increases, the number of seconds in free-fail (before pulling the ripcord) increases SIMPLE PRINCIPLES Skydiving can be very exciting — seeing the earth spread out below you for miles But it can also be dangerous, for a jumper can be killed or injured. Parachute malfunctions are rare but must be dealt with property The parachute is based on very simple principles. Gravity pulls falling objects towards the earth but is weakened by the resistance of the air. Resistance is greated for an object with a large, flat surface such as a parachute. Therefore, the parachute must eventually reach earth but it falls very slowly FEE I I IR IK KE KK KK KKK THOUGHT TO PONDER: “Love is like a mushroom. You never know If It Is the real thing until It’s too late.” Photos supplied by Mrs. Earl Imes Modern parachutes are generally made of nylon or silk. The umbrella part at the top is called the canopy, connected by many lines (Or shrouds) to the jumper. The harness is shoulder and leg straps worn by the jumper and attached to the parachute. A handle or ring on the right is pulled to activate the ripcord, releasing the chute When a jumper is facing the wind he is holding” and thus slowing down his descent. A jumper with his back to the wind is “running” (gaining the greatest possible speed by moving with the air currents). “Crabbing” occurs when a jumper's side is to the wind; this increases his control over the parachute’s direction For further information contact Imes at 778-4420 And remember — even a cloud may not be what it looks like. That “cloud” may be somebody you know — or even you! A JUMPER FLOATS toward earth under an open-canopy parachute. z * * * *% * * * * * * * * i * a “zee 2a Hey You! WANT TO WRITE FEATURE STORIES?

The performers — inciude Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright, Klaus Voorman, Mick Jones, Roger Kellaway, John Guerin, W Of Wal some scene ind Max Bennett as well as Harrison's yreat touring company. Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Jim Keltner, Robben Ford, Jim Horn, Chuck Findley, Willy Weeks, Andy Newmark and Emil Richards Side One leads off with one of the finest cuts on the album, the instrumental also Known as ‘Hari Good Boy Express” It was with this song also that Harrison led off many of his recent oncerts. Harrison plays slide guitar on this, and Tom Scott's horn work combines with him beautifully to really start the stener moving with the music ‘Simply Shady” is the second song, a siow, somewhat mournful Harrison tune Jisplaying nice bass work by Max Bennett, and guitar by Robben Ford and Harrison Third comes one of the highlights of the album, ‘So Sad” It is very reminiscent of LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD type material but Classier. No weak points at all; not in the musicianship _ melody, lyrics or anywhere ‘So Sad” is one of the Harrison jewels. The next song is the 1950's “Bye Bye, Love” a la Harrison. He has added lyrics to this to make a parody of his wife, Pattie's, recently announced love affair Haris On Tour with Eric Clapton. Harrison said, “I'd rather she be with Eric than some dope...” in a response to a reporter's question a couple of months ago, and his added lyrics are humor-bitter ridden. “There goes our lady with a you know who'/! hope she's happy and old “Clapper too...Now I'm into romance/| shy away from love/Got tired of ladies that plot and shove me/ And that's the reason we all can see so clearly / They see that our lady is out on a spree’ The most humorous point of this whole song is that Eric Clapton plays guitar (what else) on this Enic-Pattie spoof Side One ends with “Maya Love” a boogie-rocker with Harrison and Scott again combining, striving, and surpassing their goal for THE sound. This more than makes up for the weak lyrics and unfortunately, lyric-wise, Side Two gets worse “Ding Dong-Ding Dong’, which incidentally are about one third of the lyrics, iS a great Christmas rocker with a surplus of talent on it, but the lyncs you can judge for yourself: “Ring out the old, Ring in the new, Ring out the faise, Ring in the true... Yesterday today was tomorrow / And tomorrow, today will be yesterday Ding Dong.” The saving factor On this song is “Spirit” by who elise than Sir Frankie Crisp? Second, is the much played single : Horse”. the only SONG ON the album recorded in America, with oft 11SCussed (Disgust?) lyrics and Harrison's hoarse (horse?) voice shouting out the words My favorite of the “B” side however ‘> the next song with music by George and Ron (Faces) Wood, “Far East Man At the very first George adulates Frank Sinatra a bit “...| love you Frank and | hope you do this next time at Casar’ 5 Palace...", then Biliy Preston, Tom Scott and Harrison again combine for a sound which makes you play this SONG over and over Finally, Harrison ends with a traditional tribute to his Eastan beliefs. This one is called appropnately “!t is He (Jai Sn Krishna)” a pertect end to this tremendous album DARK HORSE is an improvement on LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD | oniy by its overall lighter, happier feeling and treatment of the equally excellen material. It is a completeWinner Fogelberg has hit with SOUVENIRS By CINDY KENT Staff Writer Dan Fogelberg - SOUVENIRS Dan Fogelberg's SOUVENIRS is a new album that has been getting lots of airplay recently on rock stations across the country. The reason: it’s a fine album with a lot of outstanding original material Fogelberg writes in a easy-to-like style ; one that nas developed the name “country rock” as it gains popularity Fogelberg himself is not new to the Music world although his name is. having nad an earlier folk-type solo album. Now ne has emerged as a talented musician with more versatile capabilities, as he piays a total of 10 different instruments on the album besides composing ail of the songs and possessing changable, outstanding vocal qualities. Among these nstruments are acoustic and electric guitars, piano, organ, vibes, percussion, moog, and zither. Fogelberg also does all of the lead singing on the album. All of these instruments he plays with ease. topped off with some fancy guitar-work in a couple of his songs Another major figure on the album is Joe Walsh, who besices producing the alburr playS acoustic and electric lé-string guitars, electric 6string and electric slide guitars, arp bass, and does some of the background vocals Several songs on the album appeal to the listener right from the Start One of these “As the Raven f lies” isa eMi-fast tune that although easy going Ould be considered a rock and roll song 1ue to the really fine electric guitar leads t's minor key and rhythmical phrases add a lot of this song, as does the tune itself emphasized by some outstanding background harmonies. Classic to this song is the long instrumental last verse with its dual guitar leads. Another particularly Outstanding song is the title cut, “Souvenirs”. Fogelberg here has obviously used all of his talent to produce this slow beautiful tune. The background is a simple acoustic one that adds to the basic appeal of the song, later accompanied by an accordion and string quartet which provide a pretty harmony in the background. Fogelberg’s voice adapts surprisingly weil to the softness of the mood, emphasized even more by some nice background vocals. This song is a true poem set to music, involving thoughts and memoirs of times past A completely different and refreshing side to Fogelberg’s talent is presented with the song “Morning Sky”, a fast Diue-grass tune. A great clogging and foot tapping song, it has instant appeal. The @aSy going melody goes right along with the words, as the banjo and Quitar piayers pick away at a breath-taking speed in the background: “If there's something on your mind, You better say it while there’s time, cause I'm leaving when | see that moming sky” Other outstanding songs include “Part of the Plan”, another easy-going song empnasized by a sustaining organ accompanyment and congas background plus Some nice harmonies by Graham Nash, and “Song From Half Mountain”, a Siow tune with 4 flowing melody line and guitar accompanyment IHlinois Better Change The Long Way”, and “(Someone's Been) Telling Your Stories” are ail good radio material, most of them possessing an appealing tune with a medium slow pace and nice background vocals on the choruses. Other musicians that add a lot of this album are Russ Kunkel, drums, Kenny Passarellik bass, Al Perkins, pedal steel, and Jimmy Haskett, accordion. Also to be appreciated are Don Henley, Randy Meisner, and Glenn Frey, vocals, and Gerry Beckley, guitar The only possible complaint that could be raised against Fogelberg invoives Originality; granted, all of his material is “original”. However, it is easy to hear that Fogelberg is part of a county-rock genre that has such infiuencing forerunners as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, American, Poco, and the Eagles. However, Dan Fogelberg remains a talented musician with an album full of fine material to be enjoyed 16 = Thursday Robert McDuffie, og Senior Recital, 8:15 17 Friday Richard McMahan, sax Burt Owen, clarinet Senior Recital, 8:15 19° Sunday Jonnee Carkin, organ Samor Recital, 3:15 : Memorial Baptist Ch. 22.

Con sider what has transpired since the Arab oil embargo - Kissinger, the diplomatic superstar, has tried to talk the Arabs into lowering their oil prices. Summoning up his noted gifts of persuasion, he attempted to convince the oil shiekhs that exhorbitant prices would hurt them in the long run. The result: the Arabs raised their prices - On the home front, meanwhile, “Project Independence” was launched. It aimed a making the United States self-sufficient in energy production by 1985. But domestic oil production is down nearly five per cent from last year, despite record profits for the oil companies. Coal production has also been extremely disappointing - The voluntary oil conservation program has met with only mild success The Federal Energy Administration estimates that Americans still waste as much energy as Japan uses President Ford will include some tough new conservation measures in his upcoming economic package. But unless he produces a master plan for the international energy problem, the crisis will only get worse in 1975 FRINGE BENEFITS: The unem ployment lines are growing longer, but there is one group of jobless Americans who aren't suffering. They are the defeated members of Congress whose terms ran out on January 2 Congress had thoughtfully provided 4 pension plan for those who fai! to get re-elected. It contains all manner of clauses rarely found in industnal contracts. Just a nominal contribution from their congressional salaries will qualify lawmakers, after they retire, for as much as $31,875 a year. Pensions are also paid on top of any Social Security or private retirement plans. And for those who want to continue on the public payroll, if they have the nig political credentials, can use the White House as an unemployment office The Administration will usually find an ambassadorship or some other political appointment for defeated but deserving Republicans.

By LINDA CAYTON We've come a long way from fighting for the vote, of SO advertisements keep telling us. We have entered the ranks of political power, according to the blaring, after-the-elections headlines of News- week and Time. We have become relevant, or so the burgeoning women's studies courses across the country seem to indicate But the real fabric of this country is a far cry from the life of Hollywood, politics, or the academic community. Perhaps it would do us well to take a few moments to consider how far we've really come. The following examples are offered without comment so that we may gain a perspective on our real position. Two Baptist ministers In New Milford, Conn., are planning to sue the town's school system over a sixth-grade home economics course which they claim causes homosexuality in boys. The course is offered along with industrial arts to all sixth grade students. In it, boys and girls study food, nutrition, home safety, cooking and basics of sewing. According to the school superintendent, both sexes look forward to the class “enthusiastically” The two ministers however, have FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 25/14 JANUARY 1875 J Student government Public Relations brochure In an attempt to narrow the communication gap between the Student Government Association and the overall student body, the SGA’s Public Relations office has published a brochure “It’s Your SGA” which outlines most of the programs the SGA is currently involved in. Of course this brochure does not include everything anyone might wish to know but it is hoped that it will provide enough information to enable one to know where, or to whom, he should go to get any information or service desired. Did you know that there is free legal aid available to you or that there are several types of loans available? These are available and much more. This brochure lists most of them The brochures are being distributed at most of the gathering places on campus for the Day Students and in each dorm room for the Dorm Students. If, for some reason, you do not receive a brochure and would like to have one please come by the SGA office and get one. It is most important that freshmen and sophomores get one of these since so often a couple of years of school life have gone by before a student has learned “through the grapevine” of many of the things his or her $25.50 per year is being spent for, or what services are available In addition to distributing these brochures to the student body, we hope to provide them to prospective students in the future so that they will know in advance what services are available to them. Hopefully this will encourage them to come to ECU. Also, we hope to distribute them to freshmen during freshmen orientation. The effectiveness of the SGA depends largely upon the amount of interest and support given the organization by the student body. It is hoped that this brochure, “It’s Your SGA” will cause you, the student body, to be better informed so that you can hetter help us to be more effective. Sincerely, Hubert Stroud Secretary of Public Relations, SGA Zhe. threatened to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to prevent their sons from becoming “sissies” ~ “I'm no psychologist,” commented one of the pastors, “but | know it's true that ages 9 to 13 are the most important part of a child’s sexual development. Everyone has homosexual tendencies and this feminine stuff being taught is bringing about the moral decay of children.” “By having a young boy cook or sew, wearing aprons,” the other minister added, “we're pushing a boy into homosexuality. It's contrary to what the home and the Bible has stood for. When God set up the human race, there was a division of sexes. A woman's place is in the home. That's where God put them, barring unusual circumstances.” Esther Vilar, author of The Manipulated Man has issued 4 men's rights manifesto which claims that men, not women, are the true oppressed sex. As examples of women's oppressive domination over men, Ms. Vilar points out that Women use their buying power to influence advertisers to such a degree that they make it “practically impossible to criticize women in the public media. ..Wo- men therefore exercise indirect and yet total censorship over the mass media.” .Women send men off to fight wars while they cower at home when in reality they are “physically and psychologically more resistant than men.” ‘Women have taken upon themselves the decision of when and if to beer children. Birth control and abortion are now for women only. eeene A handful of men at a predominantly women's college, horrified at two attempted rapes of women students, recently organized a vigilante group to patrol the campus. They drew up a set of rules for the 2200 women which included designated areas where women may meet male friends and areas where women may not go with men. Failure to obey these regulations, according to the leader of the group, would result in men visitors having their “ass kicked”. To date the only ass-kicking occured when a group of vigilantes attacked the editor of the campus newspaper (a woman) who objected editorially to their ideas.

The most apparent of itS proviSiIONS was an increase in education assistance. The rate for a single, fulltime veteran-student has been increased from $220 per month to $270 per month. This also applies to eligible wives, widows and children. Other allowances are increased proportionately This increase is retroactive to Septernber 1, 1974. Most veterans and dependents received their adjustment checks in mid-December Another provision which will interest most veterans at ECU is the 9month extension, which is effective December 3. This is not a blanket extension First, as the law is now interpreted, only veterans and in-service students, not dependents, are eligible. Second, hoiding an AB or BS degree is a bar to receiving this extension. Work toward a second undergraduate degree is not approvabie. Third, you are eligible only if your original entitlement was 36 months. Fourth, you must have been pursuing an undergraduate degree at the time your 36 months ran out Finally, no changes of program or course are allowed once you are being paid on the extension, except for the normal progression from AAS to AB or BS. Not so well-known is the provision which authorizes vocational rehabilitation to veterans with as low as a 10 percent disability.

While ECU will not have a freshman medical class in 1975-1976, Jenkins assured that all the medical students who had been accepted at ECU would have a place at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Medical Schoo!. The delay will not serve as any real set-back for the ECU Medicai School, Jenkins assured. “We had been hoping against hope that we could get around this but we can't. This should not affect the incoming class of 1976,” Jenkins said. The new ECU Medical School was approved late last year by the University of North Carolina Board of Trustees with a schedule that called for accreditation this year. In approving the idea of a four-year Medical School at ECU, the UNC Board also requested $35.2 million for construction of the medical school and another $3.7 million in operating funds.

Here is an account of the seven games you may have missed. One of the few good points which can be made about East Carolina's game with Georgia State is the Pirates won, 88-79 Scoring 49 points in a wild second half, the Pirates survived a poor first half to side past an even more incompetent Georgia State opponent For East Carolina coach Dave Patton, the contest was baffling His team, which played well in three road games, had failed to play up to their bilities in their third straight home apat nte« e We played like JUNIOF t high schoo! team. said Patton. “| have never seen 4 team play so bad in my life. | coached as bad as they played " ndicative of the play in the game's first hall was the first ten minutes of the ntest. The teams were tied, 2-2, after e minute of play, but the next score did r me until 14:30 was left when Reggie Lee tipped in a missed shot for a 4-2 Pirate 6a0 minutes later, Georgia State made ‘ second basket of the game to close to 4, with 12 minutes remaining in Iway through the first haif, the » tood at 10-10. The lack of scoring was NOt due to a slowdown style of play, Dut rather was due to poor play and ting on the part of both squads Pirates struggled through the nder of a poor first half and led 39-37 nalt. In the first half, the two clubs ned to commit 32 turnovers. The ‘fates shot 34 percent from the floor and eorgia State made 40 percent of their va ally, the quality of basketball in ould best be described as ‘yard basketball t team is trying hard,” said That's the problem, they are ‘oo Nard. People are stumbling over ea ‘ner, but there is good hustle.” ‘ton added, “It's got me baffled, they light. | really don’t understand it.” ‘Ne second half, ECU outscored the ers, 17-9, to pull ahead 56-46 and © Never seriously challenged the rest of ‘ough their defense performed well fates ineptness on offense carried ‘tO the second half and prevented ‘rom breaking the game open Oach Patton seemed to think the S Shooting was largely to blame Nave never seen such bad shooting in Ty lite,” said Patton. “I'm going to start *“Neduling all our games on the road. we Jon't have a home court advantage.” East Carolina extended their lead to 12 points twice, at 60-48 and 72-60. but Georgia State, behind Eddie Young (23 points) and Henry Myrick (16 points) rallied Back to within striking range Even though the team's game performance was poor, they showed some Improvement in the second half and had good individual performances from some players Bob Geter hit for 20 points, and gathered 12 rebounds, and Gregg Ashorn added 18 points. Larry Hunt led the Pirates in rebounding with 13 The Pirates’ 22-7 advantage from the foul line proved to be the winning edge The best comment coach Patton made on the game was, “We should have paid to attend the game tonight.” Perhaps the Pirates should have. BOB GETER hits for two in an earty contest this year for the ECU basketball team. The Pirates now stand at 7-4 for the season. ECU - 121 MERCER - 82 Against Mercer, the Pirates’ inef- fectiveness disappeared. Before about 3,000 predominately non-student fans, East Carolina defeated Mercer. 121-82 The victory was the most prolific sontest played in Minges Coliseum since December, 1970 when the Pirates defeated Baptist College, 119-92. The Pirates’ 121 points were only five shy of the single game school record set in 1968 against Atiantic Christian College. ECU outscored Mercer, 28-4, over a ten-minute stretch midway through the opening half, scoring 14 in a row at one time, and jumped to a 62-28 halftime advantage in route to the 121-82 win. The Pirates shot 60 percent from the floor and outrebounded Mercer 36-18 in the first half as every available Pirate broke into the scoring column For Mercer, a 29 percent shooting precentage in the first half determined their fate. Nevertheless, Patton was pleased with the Pirates’ play. “This is the way we are capable of playing,” he said. “We finally put it all together. We weren’t making bad passes and we were hitting out shots.” The Pirates 14-point streak started with ECU on top, 17-10, and moved ECU ahead 31-10 with about ten minutes left in the first half. Tom Marsh and Larry Hunt each collected four points in this span for the Pirates Soon after, East Carolina reeled off 12 more points consecutively to built the lead to a 45-14 advantage. With eight minutes left in the half, the game was never close again. The scoring continued in tne second half as a total of 113 points were scored, ECU had 59 and Mercer had 54. Early in the half the Pirates rolled off ten straight points to go ahead 72-34 and never led by less than 33 the rest of the game. Both teams played well in the second half, but ECU's lead was too much for the Bears’ to overcome and they were unsuccessful in their attempts to play error-free “catch-up” basketball With 7:01 left, Al Edwards became the first man to put the Pirates over the century mark this year when he hit a short jumper. The 101-55 lead the Pirates heid at the time was their biggest lead of the game As for individual effort for the Pirates, Larry Hunt had a career high of 18 rebounds and Reggie Lee was high Pirate scorer with 15 points, his season high. Hunt scored 14 points. Al Edwards and Henry Lewis both iooked good in their longest playing performance of the season. Edwards scored 11 points in 17 minutes and Lewis added eight points and ten rebounds in 14 minutes playing time. In all, eight Pirates scored in double” figures, with no player scoring less than five points ‘| could not single out anybody,” said ECU coach Patton. “Everybody did a good job. | can't think of anyone who did not do their job.’ The two teams attempted a record of 194 field goals and ECU's 50 successful field goals and Mercer's 103 attempted field goals were East Carolina and Minges Coliseum records In Patton’s words, East Carolina “Took a round-the-world trip” against Mercer and the win sent ECU fans home with an early Cristmas gift Continued on page fourteen i Continued from page thirteen. Cagers pass century mark twice ECU-111 THE CITADEL - 81 After a two-week holiday break, East Carolina returned to Minges for their first game of 1975. In their opponent, The Citadel, the Pirates found a’team with a similar run and shoot offensive philosophy, as well as a team with the Southern Conference's leading scorer, Rodney McKeever. McKeevers scoring average was 26.8 going into the game Debpite their 4-1 record and McKeever, The Citadel proved to be only a small challenge for the Pirates. The Pirates, running and hustling al! the way, took the bite out of the Bulldogs’ back with a 111-81 victory The win made it two games in a row the Bucs had topped the 100-point plateau, the first time since the 1964-1965 season the Pirates had achieved such a feat Caoch Dave Patton was happy with the team’s play after the long inactivity All games are good ones when you win,” said Patton. “I thought we played pretty good after two weeks layoff. There was plenty of hustle tonight Larry Hunt and Tom Marsh led a Pirate rally which pulled ECU from an early 10-8 deficit into a commanding lead the team never relinquished 4 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 25/14 JANUARY 1975 cee er eee en nena en eae anemic nattntatheattainat a in home series Outscoring The Citadel 29-8 over an eight minute stretch, the Pirates went into a decisive 37-18 lead and led at the half, 56-40 During the 298 surge, Marsh contributed all of his 11 points for the half and Hunt added six. Both players ended the first hald with four-for-four field goal performances The biggest asset for the Pirates in the first half seemed to be their ability to shut off McKeever. The Pirates held McKeever to eight points and forced him to commit seven turnovers and three charging fouls However, coach Patton said the team did not try anything special to stop McKeever “We just challenged our guys,” said Patton. “They have their pride and they don’t want anyone to outdo them.” McKeever finished the game with 22 points and eight assists, but also committed 11 turnovers and four fouls The first half was characterized by many fouls. A total of 29 fouls were called in the first half and a total of 53 were called in the game. Many of the fouls called, however, were due to overconcermned officials who, in their effort to prevent any fignts, almost defeated their purpose The Pirates’ hustle, time and again, forced the Bulldogs into costly turnovers These turnovers enabled East Carolina to win the game going away In the second half the Pirates controlled play and as the game grew older, the Bulldogs became more futile in their efforts to catch up Leading 68-52, the Pirates found help from Al Edwards. Edwards has improved each game and is now one of the most important non-starters for the team Edwards hit for three straight baskets and Hunt and Buzzy Braman added a bucket each to give the Pirates a 78-54 advantage A few minutes later, the Bucs hit for ten straight points for a 92-63 lead. When Tom Marsh connected on a basket to put ECU at 100 with 3:21 remaining, most of the 4,015 fans started for the exits The 100-76 lead expanded to 111-81 by the time the final buzzer sounded “We played a good all around game,” said Patton following the game. “Our rebounding was not as | hoped it would be, but we still perforrned well in every category.” “Don't misunderstand me,” said Patton. “The Citadel has a good team. They'll beat some people.” Tom Marsh ended the game with 18 points and six rebounds, a performance Patton termed as Tom's “hast name of the year, a fine basketball game.” Marsh failed to take any Giedit for the win “We won, that is all that is important said the 6-6 senior. “! was lucky enought to score some points. Maybe we will win ten in a row.” Besides Marsh, Larry Hunt was a leader with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Hunt was 6-for-6 from the floor for the game and his 12 rebounds marked the fifth time during the season he had finished with ten or more rebounds in a game Every available player scored in the game with Edwards, 12 points, Bob Geter. 14 points, and Wade Henkel, 12 points. ali finishing in double figures The win was the fifth in a row for the Pirates and brought their home stand to a close with a perfect 5-0 mark. The Pirates next task was a three-game New Engiand trip which would find them traveling to Jersey City, N.J. and Storrs, Connecticut ‘Hoop squad impressive on northern trip By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor Before leaving with his team on a three-aame New Enaiand road trip, East Carolina basketball coach @ Patton said the trip would be a crucial test for the Pirates “This trip is going to tell us how good we can expect to be on the road,” Patton had said. “The test of a good team is to play and win on the road. We've played well in our three road games but we haven't won yet.” The road trip found the Pirates both winners and losers. The team won the first wo games in the trip, running their win Streak to a record seven wins in a row, before failing by the mere margin of two points to the University of Connecticut Despite the 2-1 road series, the Pirates proved they were winners Even against Connecticut , Patton felt the team looked good “We got beat by a fine basketball tearm on their court with 4,500 fans yelling for them,” said Patton. “Our guys played a tremendous game.” The series started in Jersey City, N.J where the Pirates topped a scrappy St Peter's squad, 96-92. Leading by as many as 15 in the second half, the Pirates had to fight off the Peacocks’ press to win Shooting an amazing 70 per cent from the floor for the game, East Carolina built a large lead in the first half before St. Peter's cut the score to 55-48 at the half In the second half, ECU built up to 83-68 before St. Peter's again employed the press to twittle away the Pirates’ lead With 1:45 left, the Pirates were ahead by only 91-88, but never died Ear! Garner sank both ends of a one-on-one free throw Situation, and it was all over for St. Peters Larry Hunt and Al Edwards were the team ieaders this time in a contest which saw East Carolina place six men in double figures. Hunt, who is fast becoming one of the top big men in the conference, scored 20 points and led ECU off the boards with 11 rebounds Edwards, who grew up close to Jersey City, contributed 15 points in his first start of the year. Ail of Edwards points came in the first half Rounding out the Pirates’ double figure scorers were Bob Geter with 10, Ken Edmonds with 12, Tom Marsh with 11, and Buzzy Braman with 10. Next on the road agenda for the Pirates was the Connecticut Classic in Storrs, Connecticut. In the Classic, the Pirates would place second, while watching their record-setting win streak end The opening game of the tournament for ECU came against the Baylor Bears Against Baylor, the Bucs won easily, 73-57. The seventh win in a row for the Pirates, the win set a modern school win streak record Controlling the tempo of the game with their shooting, 51.6 per cent, and their rebounding, a 44-36 advantage, the Bucs jumped to an early 20-11 lead and a 35-30 half time lead Leading 51-47 with just under ten minutes left in the game, the Pirates applied the killing biow to the Bears, running off ten straight points to go ahead 61-47. Gregg Ashorn, the team’s high scorer, scored seven of the ten points during this stretch ECU coach Patton said defense turned the game around for the Pirates For the second Straight night in a row, said Patton. “I think our defense tumed the game around for us in the second half. This is a team that does what it needs to do to win.” Patton said the slower tempo of the game may have been a factor in the first half. “Baylor came out in a zone,” said Patton. “We had to slow our offense down. Still, we showed that we can play when we're not running.” In addition to Ashom's team leading 16 points, three other Bucs placed in double figures, Larry Hunt and Bob Geter each had ten points and nine rebounds, and Buzzy Braman scored 12. The Friday night win sent the Bucs against the Connecticut Huskies in the tournament championship game. Unfor- tunately for both the teams, a critical technical foul against East Carolina proved the winning edge in the Huskies’ 79-77 win over the Pirates Nip-and-tuck all the way, the contest 1ound ECU and Connecticut trading the lead throughout the game before the Huskies rallied to pull ahead 76-71 with 3:31 remaining. ECU cut the lead to one at 76-75 and again at 78-77. But, with seven seconds left, the Pirates’ Gregg Ashom was called for blocking and fouled out. At the same time, tne official ruled a technical foul on the Pirates bench. The Huskies missed the free throws, but Joe Whelton hit the technical. The ball went uver to Connecticut and the game was over The Huskies made four more free throws than East Carolina and this advantage proved to be the winning edge in the same Again the Bucs proved the superior rebounding team, outrebounding Con- necticut 36-32 with Geter grabbing 13 and Larry Hunt nine. Geter also led the Pirates in scoring with 17, as well as being the only Pirate named to the All-Tournament team. In the end, the Huskies’ home court advantage was probably the big difference between the two evenly matched squads. Patton aiso ranked the Huskies, now 7-2, as one of the four top teams the Pirates had played this season “We battled right down to the end,” added Patton. “Geter played a super game and Henkel gave us a lot on offense (16 points).” “We outhit them from the floor and Outrebounded them, but the blocking call on Gregg (ashom) was crucial.” The 79-77 loss dropped ECU's record to 7-4, but Patton stated he was proud of the team. “I'm pleasec with the continued team effort we are getting. Everyone has played super on this trip, and the team has shown a lot of character. Eastern Carolina can be proud of them, | am.” With three road games pas}, the Pirates return home this week with two Southem Conterence games with Appalachian State on Wednesday and William and Mary on Saturday.

In December, Hunt overcame per- sonal shortcomings to become a big part in the East Carolina University Pirates’ 4-2 record for the month and a 43 record for the season Before the season, though, it appeared Hunt and teammate Reggie Lee may not even suit up for the Pirates this season because of training violations Which forced coach Dave Patton to suspend the two sophomores Just before the season started, however, Patton reinstated the two players Hunt said this was a big reason for his success in Dacember, as well as changing his outlook on himself “The suspension made me realize we (Lee and Hunt) had to conform to the rules like everyone else,” said Hunt. “It brought me back down to where | should have been.” “Coach Patton gave us a second shance and that meant a lot. Sure, the lay-off hurt me, but I’m getting back in Coach Dave Patton feels the experience helped Hunt a lot. “The experience made Larry a better person all the way around,” said Patton. “Of course, he helps on the boards. He nas been really super.” Although he got off to a siow start against North Carolina State and Duke, airy finished the month with 80 points wd 75 rebounds for seven games. The season total of rebounds ncludes a personal career Righ of 18 ebounds against Mercer on December 21 Hunt topped ten rebounds four times in the team’s first seven games of the Hunt leads win streak ECU swim coach Ray Scharf said had - the Pirates been able to do better in the 100 freestyle, they would have won the match. The Bucs are now 41 for the year in dual meets. ECU set records in both the 400 mediey relay and the 400 free relay. In the 400 mediey, Gary Pabst, David Kirkman, Mike Redding and John McCauley won with a time of 3:38.2. in the 400 free, McCauley, Bobby Vail, Billy Thorne and Ross Bohiken won with a record time of 3:13.4.

Other winners for East Carolina were Bob Theile in the 200 freestyle, MCauley in the 50 freestyle, Mike Bretting in the 200 butterfly. The Pirates next meet will be on Saturday at the University of Maryland Larry's 11.4 scoring average makes the Shelby, North Carolina native a double threat. His season high was 18 points against Georgia State on December 17 Hunt views rebounding as his principal aid to the team, but not his only attribute. “My biggest asset is rebounding,” said Hunt. “! work hard at it, but | can score too.” Larry's .540 shooting percentage through the Mercer game ranked him as the team’s second most accurate shooter. During December, the Pirates struggied through their first three games before finally breaking loose against Mercer and on Jan. 4 against The Citadel. On the team’s sudden tum-around, Hunt commented, “We knew hot to do what we were supposed to do, but our execution was poor. We had not yet jelied as a team. Now we are a unit and we are able to execute better than before.” This years East Carolina Squad is basically the same personnel which finished 13-12 under Tom Quinn last year, but Hunt sees two big reasons for the team’s better play so far this season. “The year of experience under out belts definitely helps,” said Hunt. “And the running. Coach Patton's ‘Celtic Influence’ of running all the time has been tremendous and a great asset. Everybody is off the bench and getting in shape.” Larry also feels his new outlook towards religion has heiped him. “Recently, | have been getting into Jesus Christ and it really has helped me overall to be a better person both in my life and in athletics.” December proved to be a time of change, growth, and maturity for the East Carolina team and Larry Hunt. Hopefully, January wili be a continuation of the December growth.
