Little student input cited by Lucas on fees increase By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer Students should have had a bigger voice in the decision to construct a lighting system at Ficklen Stadium that will cost the students $2 per quarter, according to Bob Lucas, Student Government Association President. Lucas stated Tuesday that there was little student input on a project that he feels is not realty necessary and which has serious implications in the future. “Students should have played a bigger role in ihe planning of the project, particularly the part that dealt with who would pay,” Lucas said “The students are being forced to pay for the entire lighting system, though nobody asked them about it,” he said. “| thought the lighting was adequate. Let’s just say that | never bumped into anyone while attending a game,” Lucas joked The SGA president also noted that the students were already paying for one side of the stadium and now for the lights and that there was “no telling” what could be next “Where do we go from here? From bleachers to lights to a bigger stadium and then maybe a dome. And all of it coming out of student fees,” Lucas said. “| feel very strongly about this situation and think that most of the students on campus also foal this way,” Lucas asserted. A resolution asking the SGA to sponsor a referendum on the issue will be introduced at the next meeting of the SGA Monday, February 3. Lucas assured that he would support the move. “| realize that it is probably too late to do anything about the lights, but we must go on record as being opposed to this. Perhaps then somebody may stop and think the next time plans are made to hike up student fees to pay for something like this,” Lucas said.

TOZER Staff Writer ECU, now pushing out behind Mendenhall Student Center towards Tenth St.,is continuing to expand Its boundaries. “The Board of Directors is trying to purchase all the land on both sides of Ninth St., from Cotanche St. to the boundary behind the library,” said Clifford G. Moore, Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs. Eight houses have already been torn down on the section of E. Ninth St between Charles St. and Cotanche St “All the new land will be used for university registered vehicle parking,” said Moore Prior to 1971, the federal government compensated the occupants of a house to be torn down with a moving fee and relocation expense. Since the passage of a bill in 1971 in the North Carolina State Legislature, this is now the responsibility of the state The relocation expense entities the rental! occupants being moved to find comparable quarters. The state pays the difference between the new rent and the old rent “These homes are all acquired by the state from the owners voluntarily, without coercion,” said Moore. “The university has stopped buying property on E. Ninth St. until the state allocates us more funds.” ECU has asked for $1.5 million for the purchase of additional land, Moore said This is pending before the state legislature. The International House on E. Ninth St.. a center for foreign students, will be exempted. “The International House will stay up until the university builds a new center,” said Moore. “The original plan was to build an $800 thousand dollar planetarium in the parking area on E. Ninth St. behind the new library addition,” said Moore. “The outlook for % Famous Hamburgers Fa FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 30/30 JANUARY 1975 or parking nch and dinner , 3 the building of this planetarium anywhere on campus is bleak.” Tne expansion of the university's boundaries has affected many student residents on E. Ninth St. “We will be out of our house by the beginning of Spring quarter,” said Pete West, vice president of Kappa Alpha fraternity. “Originally we were to be evicted at the beginning of Winter quarter. We had problems finding a new house and received an extension on our notice. “Our new house is located on the corner of Eleventh and Charles St., next to the Alpha Xi Delta sorority house,” said West. “We liked our location on E. Ninth St. but the new piace has a big side jot. We plan to build a party room and a new addition “Dr. Leo Jenkins and Clifford Moore were real nice about moving us,” he said. E.

For the people living there, the relocation means more than just another neighborhood “This area is close to campus, the women's dorms and downtown,” said Bradford B. Smith, sociology major, who lives at 604 E. Ninth St. “The proximity to these vital areas meant | didn't need a car “Frankly, if the administration wants our house we will stand and fight,” said Smith, “though, when they decide it’s time to tear down our house, we will move. ‘ “To the many people who have lived . here at the ‘dead end’ it's a part of campus : folklore,” said Smith. “To the university, : it’s just another street.” ' Other residents of E. Ninth St. echo the : sentiments of Brad Smith. 1 “I like the location because it’s quiet; there's not much traffic because of the dead end,” said Chris L. Cheek, a business major who lives at 603 E.

The emergence of tical activism, the upsurge in crime, and court rulings in favor of students gnts in the 1960's has changed this We don't rely as much on the State Bureau of Investigation now,” said Joseph 4 Calder, Director of Security, East Carolina University. “We have our own professional in-house investigative cap- ’ aDITITYy Over the last 15 years court rulings have given students more rights against schoo! administrations. No longer can a Dean or a Chancellor dismiss a student for some wrong doing without a court case. Campus police forces have become more professional in order to aid the universities in their court cases,” said Calder. “Students have gained a lot but ost a lot. It's a two headed monster.” Accordingly the East Carolina campus police have improved along with the rest. The supervision of this force is the responsibility of Joseph H. Calder. Calder has spent 28 years as an investigator for the federal government in both a military and civilian capacity. He has been at ECU since 1970. The university employs 18 full time police officers, 16 in uniform and two in civilian clothes. Also one part time officer is employed who is a student. “| have three officers who are full time students here are East Carolina and another nine who are attending Pitt Technical Institute,” said Calder. “! have only three older officers not participating in higher education at this time.” Along with this officer involvement in education the force is equipped similar to any city police force. The campus police have three first line patrol cars and two back up units equipped witn radios. The police use the Greenville City communications band. Individual officers are authorized to Carry a weapon. The officer can use the iSSUeS weapon, 38 caliber pistols, or purchase his own gun Guns are like cars, some people drive Fords, and some people drive Cadillacs,” said Calder. “Usually you own a gun that fits your hand Maintenance and tinng of a weapon is important to safe operation. The East Carolina police are worked in with the city ECU student spends summer in France By PAT COYLE Staff Writer Most foreign language majors dream of spending a summer in the native country f their chosen language. For a French major Diane Harris, this dream became a reality Diane, a junior at ECU, went to France via the au-pair system. Each year, the Au-Pair Organization of Paris places thousands of American coeds in European homes for the summer. Au-pair girls receive room and board, pIUS a small salary and, in retum, are expected to take care of the host family’s Childrenand perhaps help with housework. Diane's family, the Freyts, live in Paris. Freyt works with Intemational Business Machines (IBM), and his wife is employed by Swissair. Diane was responsible for the care of the Freyts' 6 month old baby and for some lignt housework The Freyts were really more like ‘lends than employers,” said Diane. “| functioned more or less as a family member." eel SS Very little English was spoken in the home, she went on to say. “The good thing about the au-pair system,” said Diane, “is that it’s an inexpensive way to stay in an environment where you have to speak French. That's by far the best way to learn a language.” The’ greatest expense invoived is air transportation, which cost Diane about $200. Aside from linguistic improvement, Diane cited the understanding of another culture as a benefit of her stay in France. “| was impressed by the warmth of the people | met,” she said. “Plus, the French families seem closer. They take more time to enjoy life together.” After earning her degree, Diane plans to pursue an embassy career because “I like Communicating with people, and would like to learn other languages.” In reference to other students interested in the au-pair system, Diane said, “I'd encourage anyone to go. It’s not an impossible dream. It was one of the most valuable experiences of my life.” force and use their range. Also the officers enrolled in Pitt Technical Institute's police science program have range practice The rise of professionalism in campus police forces is evident in the extensive hiring and training program an officer must complete At the end of this period an officer is then certified by the state. This certification can be revoked at any time for inefficiency Along with the rise of professionalism of college police an increase in crime is evident on coliege campuses across America Prior to employment an officer undergoes a background investigation, a physical, and must take a test. A police recruit must complete 180 hours of state law enforcement instruction. After completion of this training an officer is on probation for one year. ECU STUDENT DIANE HARRIS put her foreign language training Into practice with a summer in France. “Petty larceny is a problem especially in the girls’ dorms,” said Calder. “We have arrested ten persons this year for petty larceny. . majority of the people arrested have been trespassers not students,” said Calder. “We administer the law of the university with common sense,” said Calder. “In order to apprehend criminals, we need the cooperation of the students.” Fountainhead needs ad rrr eaee salesmen!

Metcalf, Tom Pierce and Tim Bays to take mime to places it had never been before to coffeehouses, schools, prisons and asylums. The Troupe takes its audiences on a tour of the senses through their use of movement and music. Their mime is a true art form through which they can act Out stories, many of which have philosophical messages.

In his book, Slater examines the ideas basic to Western culture - progress, self- discipline, self-sufficiency and scientific rationalism - and charges that they have acted as “disconnectors” to alienate man from himself. He argues that we have developed along schizoid patterns - minds separate from bodies and individual selves separate from the community - and that we have assumed that technology could solve our problems. But, according to the author, mans efforts to “rise above” his own ecological system are futile and self-destructive. |r stead, he recommends that we deny progress as an absolute value and become more responsive to each other “to make whole what we have truncated” and save mankind from destruction 15 Saturday All-State High School Band Clinic A.J.

She can write very well, as when she describes the effect of hurricane Agnes upon Tinker Creek, and succeeds in ending the flood an almost cosmic significance.” (Loren Eiseley, The Wash- ngtor Post) Annie Dillard was raised in Pittsburgh, Pa. and received her B.A. and M.A. from Hollins College, where her husband, Richard Dillard, is a professor. She is contributing editor to Harpers Magazine and a columnist for The Wilderness Society ONE WOMAN'S LIBERATION By Shirley Boone “Ive been the ‘neglected housewife’, the ‘forgotten woman’, toiling in the kitchen, washing the same clothes and cooking the same meais year in and year Out, raising kids and serving a husband - and being taken for granted. | grew up as Red Foley's daughter,’ then became ‘Pat Boone's wife,’ and then ‘The Boone Girls’ mother l'\ve wondered if there was such a thing as real liberation for this one women And thank God, there was - and is!” The words are Shirley Boone's, taken from her autobiography, One Woman's Liberation, published in hardcover by Creation House and now in Bantam paperback. It is the story of how Shirley's yearning for love and search for her own identity at the height of her husband's career was requited through a startling religious awakening that saved her marriage and her faith It begins with her upbringing in a God-fearing show business family whose household was uprooted several times during her childhood because of the demands of Red Foley's career. She first met Pat Boone in Nashville at the age of 13, and describes their courtship through high schoo! culminating in their marriage over his parents’ objections. Though Shirley and Pat knew the difficulties of living a Christian life in the entertainment field, she encouraged him to pursue his singing career. Her wildest dreams and fears were realized when her husband became the number one recording and motion picture star in the country overnight, and, as she believed, began to drift away from the Christian convictions by which he was raised. She, too, felt her own faith shatter as she tried to adopt a new swinging image to keep up with the Hollywood crowd. After years of emotional conflicts and self-condemnation, she finally found the strength to cope with her trials by recommitting her life to Christ and becoming a child of God. It is a spiritual commitment which her husband and their daughters now share most fervently. Shirley Boone has appeared with Pat and their four daughters, Cherry, Lindy, Debby and Laury, on records, television and the stages of concert halls, nightclubs and religious revivals. She is a former National Entertainment Chairman for the March of Dimes and, in 1972, won the California Mother of theYear Award The Boones live in Beverly Hills, Calif FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 30/30 JANUARY 1975 7 Reviews southeastern VheaZzres PITT 505 EVANS STREET | all =f 4 a, | FEATURES Weekend A 3:30-5:20 7:10-°;00 Veek days’ 7:10-9:00 LATE SHOW FRIDAY—SATURDAY 11:15pm Everything You've Ever Heard About CHEERLEADERS Comes True SEE THEM DOIT IN... 8 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 30/30 JANUARY 1975 Editorials*sCommentary Damnedonlyby fools Mar {n't live if | didn't have legs. can’t imagine how blind people get around, | e couldn't...you're crazy How many times have we heard words like these, spoken in tip of the tongue naivete with no harm meant?

For aschool the size of ECU, It's really a disgrace to have fewer lighted courts than many smaller universities and even some high schools. I'm sure there have been plans to light the Minges courts for many years now, but somehow they've been shoved back under the stack of priorities that swamp the football program with funds and leaves the rest of the sports programs scrounging to survive If | must pay $15 extra to light something, I'd rather my money go for something more students could get more personal use out of. I'm well aware of the fact that being a tennis piayer myself, my view is Somewhat prejudiced, and that not everyone plays tennis, however, not everyone goes to football games either and fewer play football in Fickien Stadium Besides, maybe more people would play tennis if they could ever get a court at night, since that’s the only time they have to play, because classes and the tennis team have the courts all day.

Student government ; Referendum on lights Arbitrarily against any fee increase, | am not. Against athletics, | am certainly not. Expert on lighting systems by all means | am not However, | am unequivocally for fair and responsible treatment to all students. In jaddition, | strongly feel that when students think they have not received anywhere near fair treatment, it is their right to let their thoughts be heard. It is in this spirit | pass judgements on the recent controversy concerning the acquisition of lights for Ficklen Stadium. As previously stated, | am not an expert on lighting systems, therefore, | will not argue the point that improvement is needed or desired for our current lighting system. However, | strongly question the need of lights which will make “Ficklen Stadium’s lighting greater than that of Carter Stadium.” Perhaps | should hestitate no longer for those of you who are not aware, the students of ECU will pay the entire $475,000 price tag for the lights. Keep in mind that the students had to pay for only their side of the stadium, however, now they must pay for the entire lighting system. © ~ The problem is clear, simple and tragic. The students as a whole had no input into this decision which arbitrarily requires them to pay additional monies to the University. | can assure you that if $6.00 was taken from all staff and faculty salaries, to pay for lights, they would have a tendency to get upset. | am not ruling out the possibility that students should not pay a fair share for lights, but if so, they should be the ones to decide and not a handful of benevolent administrators. There are several other points which | feel should be pondered by ail concerned. As you may have noticed in the last issue of Fountainhead, the Assistant Business Manager urged students to conserve energy in the dorms. In fact he warned that “without this effort on the students part an increase in room rent is at least a possibility.” In conclusion he states, “Everyone on campus could heip us save a little.” Evidently his statement was aimed only at energy wasteful students. The Administration help has been to purchase a tremendous lighting system and change all football games to night. | personally enjoy night games tremendously, but | submit, is it fair treatment to threaten students with rent increases because of a rise in energy costs and simultaneously make absolutely no effort to curb other University energy costs? What will the students be asked, or | should say told to pay for next. The students are currently paying $12.00 for the new student union, $4.00 for the old student union, $7.00 for Minges and now the lights. Anyone with even minimum intelligence should realize that the future lighting system is for a larger stadium and not for the current size of Ficklen Stadium. When the enlargement of the stadium is discussed, student fees as a means of support should not be assumed until the students themselves decide the uestion ¥ Finally through frustration, | offer the final point. The Administration requires students to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for construction of Minges, the oid and new student union, lights and others. The sum total of these student monies is tremendous. However, the student can hardly find a place to shoot basketball or to lift weights or other similar activities. In addition money to fund guards $0 that all women may have self limiting hours is no where to be found. Think about it! Perhaps it is too late to change the course of action the Administration has taken in relation to the lights, however, | feel we should still let our feelings be known to thoee who occupy leadership positions. Therefore, the Student Government Association will hold a student referendum next week, in order that each student may cast a ballot, yea or nay, on the issue of purchasing lights. | strongly encourage you to participate.

One deals with the lega ization of victimiess crimes, such as prostitution, sale and possession of marijuana, public drunkenness and gambling. Another is about a Senior Citizens Act.’ Valerie Szabo, sponsor of the Senior Citizens Act, said, ‘This bill deals with the establishment of the Senior Citizens Department under North Carolina Social Services Counci! The Senior Citizens Department would be authorized to establish community and re-socialization centers for senior itizens,’ she said. “Also the department would place technical restrictions on boarding and rest homes.” We have not yet formulated any concrete resolutions, but several ideas nave been tossed around, including the removal of irrelevant information,” Ms. Dixon said Factors such as marital status: employment applications would be removed, standards for institutions for the ohysically and mentally handicapped would be created, as would a new system of selection of the Board of Govemors of the Consolidated University of North Carolina and ideas for an infancy retardation treatment resolution.” The ECU delegation intends to draw up the two resolutions sometime in March Ms. Dixon, a veteran delegate, characterized the week of the state-wide convention as one of “long hours and hard work” Past ECU delegations have performed well, winning six ‘best resolutions awards’. Last year they were honored for presenting the best bill and best delegation. The winning bill concerned a revamping of the juvenile justice system in North Carolina NCSL is a norprofit, tax-exempt corporation composed of 40 member institutions. The purpose of NSCL is to teach participants the fine points of the legisiative process and to serve as a sounding board for the political opinions of college students. NCSL has three elected offices: Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State. The office of Treasurer iS an appointed post. Sally Freeman, Secretary of State, said conceming the officers’ functions, “The Governor is the administrator-coordinator of NCSL activities. The Lieutenant Governor is coordinator of the NCSL summer workshop, in addition to her duties assisting the Governor. The Secretary of State publishes a Quarterly report and coordinates the activities of the school delegations. She also sets up the agenda at the state-wide Convention. The Treasurer's duties require him to know legal corporate structure and budget planning. This is why his position is an appointed one.” A Conterence Committee is selected by the officers of the previous year to judge the competition at the state-wide convention. To serve on the Conference Committee, one must have been a Gelegate to at least two conventions. Al- 80, the prospective committesman must have exhibited outstanding leadership. The Conference Committes employs five basic criteria in selecting the best bill. It must be written properly, and the topic must be socially applicable to the needs of the peopie of North Carolina. The bill must be comprehensive in al! the angles of the topic. The bill must be Folsom resigns transportation post By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer Richard Folsom, Director of Student Transportation, has resigned his position, and SGA president Bob Lucas has appointed Greg Davis to fill the vacant post Folsom, who has been director since September, explained in announcing his resignation that time, money and “too much grief” were involved in his decision to step down | was spending too much time with the transportation system and not enough on my studies,” Foisom explained. Folsom, who received his M.A. this past Fall, is working on a supervisory certificate in Education My grades slipped Fall quarter and nave gone down even farther this quarter,” Folsom said, though he admitted there was more to the resignation than just the time element “The transportation director receives only $110 a month for running the entire system,” he said. “All the time involved is just not worth it. At this pay scale the drivers make more than the director,” he said Folsom also said that rising criticism of the transportation system had added to Nis decision to resign. Lucas said he accepted the resignation with regret “I think Richard did a good job while he was director,”’ Lucas said The SGA president admitted that the job requires a lot of time and that it is probably too much for just one student to handle ‘It iS a very tough, thankless job, but Richard did a good job,” Lucas said. Davis, a junior, was next in seniority with the transportation system, according to Lucas The SGA is presently Studying the problems of the transportation system and some action on the matter is expected before the end of the school year Folsom, in his last appearance before the SGA as director, warned the legislators that the transportation system would die by the end of the spring quarter if some action were not taken Repair Shop Repair all leather Handmade | eather ts. 117 W, 4th St,, Downtown Greenville 748-0204 DP hie me 9, ag of pressing importance and it Must haye been debated on the floor of the Studer Legislature Each of the NCSL member Schoois ag allowed two Senators Representatives are selected according tc the totg enroliment figures of gach schooil.

The three, ombined, have an average of 34 points a game for the Paladins Other than the starting five, though, the Paladins are weak. Only one player, quard Steve Green, nas started this year, and the highest scoring average for a reserve is Green's 2.4 average This lack f playing time for the Furman reserves could become a major factor in the game if the East Carolina team is allowed to run-and-shoot the way they have been doing most of the season Earlier in tne season, ECU coach Patton said the Paladins had better be ready to do just that~run and shoot I'll teil you something. Those big mothers had better be ready to run 94 feet with us if they want to win,” said Patton Patton adced, “It will take a super performance to beat Furman though.” For the Pirates, the brunt of Saturday's work will probably fall on Bob Geter and Larry Hunt. Geter and Hunt have been +} super all year, but except for Richmond's offensive oriented Bob McCurdy, the Pirates have not yet faced the likes of Mayes or Leonard, except against N.C State, when the Pirates lost 96-81 Geter and Hunt hold down the principal board strength for ECU, with Hunt averaging almost 11 rebounds a game through Tuesday, and Geter is averaging eight caroms a game through the team’s first 16 games in addition, Hunt and Geter are jouble-figure scorers, Geter with 12 points a game and Hunt 11.5 The Pirates play a lot of people, though.

The result was a 71-69 come-from-behind victory over Old Dominion University. Confronted by a super tough ODU zone press through the game's first half, the Pirates found it hard to overcome the nationally seventh-ranked small college Runnin’ Monarchs. In the second half, however, the Pirates were able to rally from seven points down to catch, pass and then contain the Monarchs The catalysts in the late game-winning rally were Gregg Ashom and Larry Hunt. It was Ashorn who proved to be the Pirates’ key to solving the Monarch press. Ashom, recently selected by the GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS as the N.C. Athiete of the Week, hit on ten of 11 second half shots to finish the game with 26 points - his third 20-point game in the last four With Ashom hitting from the outside, the Monarchs had to leave the middie, where Hunt hit for six crucial points in the game's final minutes to boost the victory effort Some question could be raised conceming whether the Pirates were overlooking the Monarchs for Saturday's crucial conterence showdown against the Furman Paladins and, if 80, how much this affected their performance. The Pirates, however, buckled down in time to conquer the Monarchs and run their season record to 13-4. The Pirates were the early leaders in the contest, jumping to a 17-8 lead in the game's opening six minutes. East Carolina continued to lead until midway through the half when the Runnin’ Monarchs ran off a 12-point streak to jump on top by 28-19 The big man for the Monarchs in the streak was forward Jeff Fuhrman, who hit for eight of the 12 points. Trailing by 35-29 at the half, the Pirates rallied to within three points several times, but each time the rally would be followed by a crucial mistake, mistakes which the Monarchs used to keep East Carolina out of range Trailing 60-53 with 7:52 left in the game, the Pirates’ great swing began. After the Monarch's Wilson Washing- ton sank a hook shot, Ashom hit for three Straight buckets and the Bucs trailed 62-61 with 4:33 remaining in the game. Old Dominion ran the lead back to three, then two, before Ashom struck again for two more outside baskets to put ECU on top 67-65 with 2:32 remaining. The Monarch's Oliver Pumell tied the score at 67-all, but Larry Hunt drew a foul from center Jay Roundtree. Hunt made both free throws and ECU was on top again at 69-67. ODU's Washington, who led the Monarchs with 17 points, evened the score again, but Hunt countered to put ECU on top for good at 71-69 with only 1:12 left in the game. Going into the slowdown, ECU's Buzzy Braman drew a foul from Joey Caruthers. With 24 seconds left, Braman spoiled the opportunity to put the game away by missing the foul shot. ECU got the ball back, however, when the normally accurate Washington missed a close shot. Fuhrman fouled Bob Geter, but Geter, too, failed to convert (neither ODU or ECU hit for 50 percent of their free throws for the game) and Old Dominion’s Washington controlled the rebound and called time-out. On the inbounds pass, Geter intercepted the pass for East Carolina and the Pirates were out of the game with a win. Two factors rang out in the final analysis of the ECU win. Gregg Ashom’s second half performance and the defensive performance which Hunt and Geter put on Washington Washington was the Monarchs chief player in the opening half with 12 points and five rebounds, but the duo of Hunt and Geter clamped down on the 6-10 transfer to hold him to a game total of 17. Washington managed nine rebounds in the final half to finish with 14, the same total Geter finished with. Hunt aided Geter with 15 points and nine rebounds. Ashorn's performance was the real clincher, though. The 6-3 Ohioan personally broke apart the Monarch press and, once the Pirates did this, they outscored their opponents 25-15 for the hard-earned win. After the game, coach Patton remarked on the caliber of the ODU team. “| don't rate Olid Dominion as a Division Two team,” said Patton. “They could play in the Southem Conference easily.” “They rank with any team we've played this season," added Patton, “and they are better than most.” Larry Hunt expressed a great deal of respect for Washington after the game. Washington has played only six games for the Monarchs this season, after transferring from the University of Maryland last year. “Washington's a great player,” said Hunt. “He went to the ball well on us. He was a big pilus for them.” The win gave the Pirates a good tune-up for Saturday’s match with Furman. For Old Dominion it was their third loss in a row, dropping their season record to 10-7. Ladies whip ODU East Carolina's varsity women’s basketball team preceded the men's team Tuesday night with an 83-70 win over the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs at the Norfolk Scope. For the ladies, it was their fifth win of the season against one loss and the second win since a loss two weekends ago to North Carolina. The Bucettes swept to a 44-33 halftime lead behind the scoring of Sheilah Cotton and Lu Ann Swaim. In the opening half, Cotton scored 15 points and Swaim added 12, thus providing the team with most of the scoring in the half. The ladies handied their first taste of the “big time” well, taking an early lead and holding it the entire game for the final 83-70 margin of victory. In the second stanza ODU rallied to within one, but could never break even as Fountainhead needs ad salesmen SO CALL the women pulled away to the final 13-point victory margin. Coach Catherine Bolton was pleased with her team’s play in the giant Scope “We were hoping to try our offense out against a running team,” said Botton. “We got the chance tonight and the girls did well.” Bolton was able to play all her women, taking a page from out of Dave Patton's book. Nine girls scored for the Bucettes. Cotton again led the women scorers, hitting on ten field goals and nine free throws for 29 points. Susan Manning, with 12, and Swaim, with 10, helped to give the women a 44-39 rebound advantage. In addition to her ten rebounds, Swaim came up with 21 points. Manning added 14 to the Bucettes totals. ¢ iii i lal al a al all al ll ill ll ah li al hcl tl al al lll ll ll ll rl aaa ah \ \ \ \ \ \ \ N \) N \ . \ \ N N \ \ \ \ \ N \ N N \ \ \ 16 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 30/30 JANUARY 1975 — i k successes Sprinters pace track su 7 refer to run the 101 said Suggs before leaving East Carolina ahead of what he had expected Spécial Di ae —_ Bi omge nger and | can gain more Both Austin and Suggs had trouble in when one considers that the weather pa eaSe ey se £ a A id “3p v = O iUS pt } vege el a) wah their first meet getting out of the blocks cold has prevented any SDeBC work i —— po Se } gp we et t pat oe sm | would like to Carson called it a mechanical error that only five days of work on tt OD 2 ae ‘ : iad af ae ould be corrected with concentration start out of the blocks ii ™ here eason to be ex worl oe oar i leet a Austin knows the start is the most There's a great chance one or poi 7 aide e | ever ran the 60 was the nportant part of the 60. “You have to get could make the NCAA finals in the 6 » Ji age ap eer weeks ot jot st of the blocks the 60 as fast as 100 this year as freshmen Both have : rst race, but | ran a6.z px ble.
