McDonaid, Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, called the Law Enforcement Workshop heid at the ECU Allied Health Center on Friday “The best community relations in top-notch law enforcement.” James Campbell, ECU instructor in the law enforcement area of the Department of Social Services, said the workshop, sponsored by the Department of Sociai Work and Corrective Services, is the second one of a series to be held weekly until mid-February. “New Programs In Community Relations” workshop was attended by representatives of civilian and military law enforcement, community service, human relations, ECU students in law enforcement and Charlotte Observer reporter Mike Swartz “Self-evaluation studies are heipful, but sometimes it is considered better to bring in consultants, as was done in Kansas City,” said McDonald. “Universities are a rich source of information and help,” McDonaid said. “The Institute of Government, Chapel Hill, is always available for service to all branches of law enforcement in North Carolina.” McDonald said the sight of a policeman doesn't prevent a crime, as the criminal just finds another location. “We'd make a lot more hay if we'd reduce our visibility and increase effectiveness,” he said. “Citizens don’t want to see the police, but they want them there when they need them.” “The Town Fathers should be here,” said a policeman who was directed to use five men in a shopping district where three could do an effective job. “Merchants had compiained of the reduction,” he said. Actual cases were given to several groups during the afternoon workshop. Each had to decide how to handle specific situations Law enforcement students from ECU who attended were Bob Stagg, Jeff Muller, Chuck Ciodfeiter, Dade Sherman, Jackie Shalicross and Gienda Pegram.

This has affected ring sales tremendously, said Phillip Eskridge, company representative Sales are now down 25 percent as a result of the increased cost of goid. The company is working on substituting research on the ecological impact of the Open Grounds Farms on sounds around Beaufort The farm, owned by a large Italian syndicate, currently is growing grain Future plans include the raising of stock using the grain. What happens when run-off from the farm's drainage ditches enters shallow sounds in the area is a question now being investigated by the Duke Marine Laboratories, said Dr. Smith Manure and pesticides enter the sounds from the farm ditches, Smith said. More fresh water than usual pours into the sounds. “The fresh water seeped into the sounds before,” said Dr. Smith. “With the drainage ditches, the water pulses into the sounds, disturbing juvenile shellfish and shrimps.” This study is mainly concerned with platinum and silver, which will cost less. This will be available to the students iN about six weeks,” he said. Asked now popular the class rings are today, Eskridge said, “The ring is still the symbol! of school spirit and achievement, and | feel the business will continue to grow for a long period of time.

The next day morale on the slopes picked up, lessons were more fun and skiers fell down less gf his pants down... (CPS/ENS)-A first-year woman student at Jersey City State College has received a court-ordered eviction from her dormitory room because she allegedly caused an embarrassing commotion while her roommate was making love. Teresea Fernandez and her roommate had apparently not been getting along very well since they began living together last September. The breaking point came when Fernandez entered her room with several friends and discovered her roommate in a compromising position with a boyfriend. Instead of leaving, “They just stood there pointing their fingers and calling names while the poor guy who was in bed didn't know what to do,” said the dorm supervisor during the court hearing. School officials say that when roommates don't get along it's up to the one with the least seniority to move out. That would have been Fernandez, but she steadfastly refused. Finally, school officials took the matter to court, where an eviction notice was issued. As for the roommate, no action was taken. Officials say there's no “written rule against fornication on campus.” Tom Ford, instructor co-ordinator, described the week and the students’ attitudes as “fantastic”. According to Ford lessons were going at the usual rate and skills tests on Friday were going about normal “The a-level skiers are doing like a-ievel skiers uSually do and the b-level skiers are doing like b-skiers.” Ford listed the conditions as the worst disadvantage of the week. But he didn't feei they had slowed down lessons much. “The skiers this week are leaming faster than the skiers did last week and the skiers the last week learned faster than the skiers the week before.” He attributed this to “dry-land sessions” that had been heid through out the week. During these dry land sessions instructors had gone over basic skiing pointers and exercises “| think what Jo and Frank Saunders are doing is great,” Ford said in reference to the exercise sessions held during the weeks before Christmas vacation He stressed the importance of physical fitness before learning to ski. Studies have shown that persons in good physical condition learn to ski quicker. The siush on the slopes on Monday through Wednesday turned to ice under a few inches of artificial snow “The southern skier is the most versatile skier anywhere. Conditions like these are common in the South,” Ford commented. “The southern skier never knows what he will be skiing on.” By Thursday and Friday comments heard around the siopes ran something like this: “| went to the top of the advanced slope and skied down. | fell down three times but | made it.” “| had a good instructor in class today. | really did learn a lot.

George Kennedy. They succeed, hrough their rules, in successfully arrying on an all-too familiar plot and nyerting in into a thorough success Ms Black is the star of the show as Nancy. the pretty senior stewardess who is hrust into a heroine's role after the 747 jet she iw working on collides with a private plane. The collision kills two of the three ew members and leaves the captain snable to fly the plane. This leaves the stewardess faced with an unwelcomed risis - she must fly the plane herself Ms Black's performance is excellent and should heip bring her more major roles t the supporting roles she has handled in several earlier film successes ke Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider. Three factors complicated the normally weak story line. First, aboard the plane is a young girl who is flying to Los Angeles for a kidney transplant, her condition is good - but nevertheless this dilemma is meant to add suspense to the plot. Linda Blair (the possessed child in The Exorcist ) adds more to this role than there really is and her smiling face shows that, ndeed, she has been successfully snatched from Satan's grasp. The other two parallel stories concem Heston and Kennedy. Heston portrays Allan Murdock, the airline company's chief pilot trainee, who eventually comes to the rescue of the harried 747. A cute twist makes Murdock a BUCCANEER Tuesday thru Saturday- Jan. 21-25 ‘THE EMBERS’ Also, Happy Hour with the heroine's steady guy and, while saving many lives, he is concerned with only one Kennedy plays the — hot-headed vice-president of the airlines.

However, as with other scholarships at the university, the forms must also be signed by the applicant's parents.

And any illegal Conduct or conflict of interest, he has warned, will be prosecuted. The power of the presidency, he has pointed out, has been weakened by Watergate. This is a political reality, he Nas told them, which will require a different attitude in the White House. Therefore, he wants his subordinates to cooperate with Congress. He also doesn't want them throwing their weight around, the way former President Nixon's aides did. And he simply won't tolerate influence peddling This message is now emphasized to each new appointee. As President Ford has put it privately, his policies may be questioned but not his ethics Meanwhile, the Watergate investi- gations are far from finished. The special prosecutors are still digging into several Watergate-related cases, ranging from the ITT to the milk bribery cases Former Treasury Secretary John Connally has already been indicted for bribery. His trial is scheduled to start on March 26 The prosecutors aren't through investigating illegal Campaign contri- butions. They have also uncovered evidence which contradicts the testimony of President Nixon's closest friend, Bebe Rebozo. He swore that he kept the $100 ,000-cash gift from billionaire Howard Hughes in a safe deposit box. But the prosecutors believe he passed out the cash to Nixon's secretary and family They are trying to find out, too, who was responsible for the famous 18-minute gap in a crucial White House tape and who ordered the backdating of a deed to nelp Nixon escape paying his full taxes Even the battle of the tapes is sti continuing.

In the school administration's quest for national recognition in sports (rather, sport) which will allow them to demand more money from the state, it seems many other interests are no longer important Take a look at ‘our’ Student Weight Room. For a university of 12,000 people, the room is a disgrace. The last time anything was added to the weight room was when we were generously given an old universal gym, a discard from the football program. If you want to use thu Olympic Bar, (there is only one), you only have a 25-40 minute wait. Of course, an additional bar only costs $95, but then when the schoo! and state appropriates over half a million dollars for the football program, you can't expect them to save any for the students, after all, who are they, anyway? | must Say a sincere thank you to Coach Orge! on the football staff. He has very kindly allowed several of the more serious lifters to use the football team’s weight room. | find it unbelievable that a group of 50 football players and staff can ask for and receive five new Olympic Bars and benches, yet for three years, the athletic dept., and the administration have been deaf to innumerable requests by students for one $95 Olympic Bar. The students have made requests, many by me personally There are ali sorts of other discrepances in the administrations priorities. There are 50 or so people playing football; the program receives over one half million dollars for lights and equipment. Yet, the administration can't find $6,000 to support the crew team which had more than 50 students actively participating. Unbelievable! Now, to top this off, there's two signs hanging on the Student's Weight Room door. One says “Reserved for the Basebal| team’ for half an hour e day in the afternoon, and the other says, “Reserved fora PE. class”, an hour every Tuesday and Thursday. What can you expect? The people who approved these intrusions on the Students Rights have to protect their two-legged investments toward national recognition. So, maybe the students should leave and let the “special interest groups” work out. Maybe the adminis- tration is happy. Let them pretend they've done a good job Mike Carter Student government Appropriations, ins, outs As this years’ Student Government Association/Appropriations Committee Chairman, | have become aware of one fundamental problem in the relations between students and their student representatives, governmental procedure. Most students who want to initiate a proposal to their student government just simply don’t know how to go about doing it, and even after introduction they don’t understand the process a proposed bill must go through to become binding. | have seen many instances of bewilderment and misunderstanding occur because of this lack of communication and therefore, | would like to take this opportunity to give the students a short course in the sometimes complicated SGA rules. First, if you have some type of proposal you would like brought before the SGA, get in touch with a legislator. All bills must be introduced by a member of the SGA. If you don't know a member of the SGA, come up to their office on the second floor of Mendenhall Student Center someone will surely be able to help you. All legisiature meetings are 5:00 p.m. on Mondays, but don’t think that once a bill is introduced it will be acted upon that day because that is just not the truth. Generally, a bill that is introduced one Monday will not come before the entire legislative body until at least the following Monday. In the meantime it must go before a committee and that is where the Appropriations Committee comes in. All proposals dealing with any sort of appropriation must first be studied by this committee, other committees deal with such things as judicial problems, rules and student affairs. But due to the large monetary powers delegated to your SGA, the bulk of our business deals with outlays of money. The committee meeting is where the main student input should be directed, this is where much of the information about the proposals is gathered a *4d where needed changes are made. All committee meetings are open and you need only io contact me or any other committee chairman to find out the whens and wheres. This year's Appropriations Committee conceives its duty as gathering as much information as possible about a proposed bill, so that we can present it in the best possible way to the entire SGA. We invite all relevant persons, whether students or administrators, to our meetings, or at least interview them. We try to reflect the, prevailing student opinion on certain subjects, which is why it's so vital that the student come to us if he has some thoughts on these matters. We will never know unless you tell | us. We try to give everyone a fair hearing but sometimes due to the complex problems of | the legislation or the far reaching precedents it may seem that we only deal in trivialities. It may be true but we are not paid administrators and we know of no way of getting to the, facts about a bill except for asking those involved. If we feel a proposal merits the! expenditure of student funds we will report to the legislature favorably, thus giving It al clear path to the floor. If we feel the bill is unworthy, we can report It unfavorably and thus make it hard for the bill to be considered by the entire iegislature or we can amend it to more closely reflect the students’ needs as we see them. The SGA Appropriations Committee is the financial watchdog for your SGA funds. | Our job goes only as far as the students allow it. We vote as one person only as long as| we have no input from you. Contact us, let us know what’s on your mind, we solicit your! comments.

Another unsatisfactory excuse would be transporting students to a football game (to mention a fall quarter example). | pay my fees solely to support transportation to and from school.

Bland of the ECU gy Department has been awarded a study the use of fungi in the »f coastal Mosquitoes The grant, totalling $6,264, was given hy the North Carolina Board of Science { Technology. It will finance Bland's »search through 1975. The research deals with the fungus elomomyces, a natural parasite of the mosquito in the coastal waters of North arolina. This fungi infests and kills larval mosquitoes and may be used to control Research last year in this field by Bland ncluded mainly the coastal waters around Beaufort. The project's headquarters were set up at the Duke University Marine Laboratory there. Bland said this year he study the whole coast of North j na Bland is working in cooperation with N Couch of the botany department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Couch, at one time Bland’s professor, is working with mosquito fungi of fresh-water mosquitoes If research proves favorable, colonies of coelomomyces could be introduced into coastal waters to control mosquitoes Bland is also working on research which deais with fungi in marine crustaceans This work started with the study of fungi in the blue crab of North Carolina. Now it includes shrimp, lobster and other crustaceans The research is funded by the UNC Sea Grant Program, which includes state and federal funds. Bland has been working on it since he came to ECU six years ago Bland said the research is assisting commercial growers of shrimp, lobster and crabs in California, Oregon and Texas. He Is trying to find ways of controlling fungi in the larvae of these animals Bland has already discovered a chemical which will work in preventing the growth of one species of fungi. Although it would be impossible to use this chemical for control in a natural situation, on-poverty students ineligible for food stamps On January 10, new regulations went into effect prohibiting college tudents over 18 from receiving food stamps if they are listed as tax dependents ' a household not eligible for the stamps The action was the latest step in a truggie that has gone on for several years in attempt to curb the use of food stamps by students who come from poverty families, but whose personal ormes are small enough to qualify them the stamps 1971, Congress passed a rider on ‘nat years Agriculture Appropriations bill formidding food stamp assistance to ege households if any person living 'nere was ineligible.

So although ut tr ‘he new regulation will only be law until xt June 3%, the USDA will continue rement of the provision indefinitely Fortunately for some, the regulation does have a loophole Ordinarily, a student who receives more than half his income from his parents is properly listed as a dependent on his parents income tax retum. If, however, his parents don't claim him as a dependent, even though they contribute more than half of his financial support, that student is still eligible for food stamps. In fact, any students who are not tax dependents or who are tax dependents but their parents are also eligible for food, stamps, are not affected by the new regulations According to Sue McAndrews , USDA food program specialist, the new regulations will not be mplemented until March at the earliest The delay is due to the fact that state governments, which administer the food stamp program locally, have 60 days to write their own regulations to conform to the new federal directives. McAndrews expected a number of states will ask for additional time, which will delay implementation in those areas even further Once implemented, the regulation will immediately affect only students applying for food stamps. Students already in the food stamps program will continue to receive stamps until it is time for them to reapply-about every three months for most households So all ineligible persons will eventually be weeded out, but no one currently receiving stamps shouid lose them until Apni. and in some areas early summer McAndrew said that the federal governrrent has no idea how many students will be affected by the new 4 regulation Dh he he i bp bo be an a ba a a a a be be bo i be bo ee FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 27/21 JANUARY 1975 i 4 V \ 0 ¢, ¢ ac.< Qoretirerers dS — & Biand believes it will be very helpful in controlling fungi in the tanks of commercial crustacean farms.

America was undergoing an economic revolution caused by the Ne rural areas to the cities While the upper and middie classes experienced unprecedented prosperity in 'he post-war years, the poor people who were Moving to the cities were severely hurt by several recessions. In the 1960's, FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 27/21 JANUARY 1975 13 OR. RICHARD A. CLOWARD, author and professor at the Columbia University of Social Work, spoke at ECU on the hunger crisis in America today. the non-white adult unemployment rate began to rise until it reached an actual depression level.” Labor Department figures traditionally show only the “tip of the unemployment iceberg,” said Dr. Cloward, and only in 1966 did unemployment surveys begin to use more sensitive indicators in their study of the jobless “Only since then have these surveys considered the people who have dropped Out of the labor force because they became discouraged, those who are ‘sub employed’ at marginal wages and those who are only sporadically employed.” According to a late sixties survey by the new Five-measure Composite Index, fully one-third of the nation’s urban slum+-dwellers were in sub-empioyment, he said, noting that as many as fifty or sixty percent of these people may be sub-employed today. Cloward. “Often they actually do everything possible to avoid giving help to those who need it, and consequently drive the poor into more abject poverty Exclusionary welfare laws such as residency requirements, ‘employable’ status (which does not consider the availability of jobs), circumstances o1 birth and requirement of extensive document- ation -— birth certificates and marriage licenses -- which are difficult for illiterate persons to obtain cause numerous people in dire need to be classified ineligible for relief “Because of these restrictions, hungry people in need of welfare assistance are forced into marginal employment with no job security and mininal wages. Adults of both sexes and sometimes even children are thrust into labor exploitation. “In addition to actual restrictions, lack of public information services in most welfare agencies prevents potential AFDC recipients from even knowing whether or not they might be eligible,” said Dr. Cloward. “The reason for the sharp rise in AFDC recipient families in the late sixties was simply the attitude among the victims of the hunger crisis. During the Eisenhower years and before, the poor simply acquiesced silently and accepted their condition. But in the mid-sixties, the civil rights movement brought forth more discontent and surging anger on the part of low-income people, particularly in the large northern cities.” Dr. Cloward also attributes the rise to the work of the National Welfare Rights Organization and to such Kennedy and Johnson administration anti-poverty programs as VISTA “But it was chiefly civil disorder, anger, and militancy which brought about the increased availability of welfare benefits. Unfortunately, welfare departments do not respond to economic needs; they respond instead to public pressure.” Dr. Cloward said the social work profession must beware of being swayed to such proposed alternatives to outright aid as welfare “services,” inciuding rehabilitation and job training programs. “These services might be helpful to some, but the hunger crisis is the real problem. “We in America believe that people shouldn't be on relief. | don’t believe they should either. But | believe even less that they should starve, and in the absence of decent wages and sufficient jobs, the relief system is necessary to deal with the problem of hunger among millions of lower-income families.” | Geiger to speak on Korean repression By PAT FLYNN Staff Writer “IC0'a Geiger, a Quaker who is working Me with the resistance movement in “11 Korea, will be arriving in Greenville “\9Nt to appear on Carolina Today Neer, Show will be broadcast op Say, January 22 at 7:00 am. on a lel'S.

Of particular concern to Ms. Geiger is the plight of political prisoners in South Korea.

East Carolina kept getting the second and third shots and that is what beat us.” For Maravich the Apps’ 1-11 season has been dismal. But, the Apps’ performance Wednesday was, to him. typical of the teams’ season play ‘We played well in the first half and poorly in the second half,” — said Maravich. “This is the way it has been all season for us.” In the second half, the Pirates ran off an opening 196 spurt to break the 40-40 halftime deadlock and move into a 59-46 lead. From this point, the Bucs never led by less than nine or more than 13.
