This is where the crux of the problem of treating veneral diseases occurs ‘The health department must send a case investigatcr to interview the reportedly infected person. The interview- er will try to learn all the person's recent sexual contacts during the suspected period of infection.” Only two counties in the eastern district have case investigators.

Most of them know if they corne to the clinic for treatment, that their case will be reported and an investigation will ensue “This is why it is virtually impossible to control VD in Pitt County, this state, or the whole country for that matter “This occurrence of VD, whether it’s on the rise or not, is so difficult to estimate because of the many cases which go unreported.” The number of reported syphilis cases is usually a single figure for Pitt County according to Ms. Saleeby.

You have the wrong impression of the Heraid You should realize no matter what the Situation, the Black point of view is going lo differ from the white point of view and when you observe something that's lifferent or unfamiliar with what you're used to there's no reason to say that it is biased.

Why did only 50 Students Out of over 10,000 students show up for it? Is this why you're coming down Miss Washington so hard? Hey man, the truth hurts You criticize our paper but we're for real and we re going to Stay that way. You give me the impression that the paper comes Jown on the campus as a whole. It does not. contrary to what some others may believe. Even though you may believe in what you Say, | personally feel that Miss Washington was severely offended. Our purpose is to report on carnpus news from the Black point of view. You act as if we know nothing except to “hate the white Rip-off To Fountainhead | had hoped the new Mendenhal!

Twice the door was locked when it was supposed to be open, twice they had no eggs, and twice they had no jelly or butter for toast. This is the only restaurant I've been in that runs out of things every other day. Why can't they order properly and match their menu? What kind of restaurant opens at prime selling times and closes down when business slacks off? The place has no hours posted, so it’s hit or miss whether anyone can get an evening snack or coffee The price of milk just went up to thirty cents a half-pint, and a banana split from sixty to eighty-tive cents. It doesn't seem fair that an outside corporation should make a profit off the students in their own Student Center.

To Fountainhead Upon opening the Tues., April 22nd issue Of the Fountainhead, | eagerly sought the article by the sports editor, Mr John Evans, on the weekend hockey tournament which marked the start of the N.C. Collegiate Hockey League | must say | was greatly disappointed, therefore, | as a member of the team will put several points in their proper perspective The first and most appropriate is that Mr. Evans was not at the tournament and therefore has no sight to comment on the caliber of play. ECU outmatched Carolina and Duke skillfully as well as physicaily This can partially be attributed to the fact that our team has been provided with a maximum amount of practice time whereas Duke and Carolina must drive to Greensboro to practice. Another item of interest is that ECU's team constitution allows all students and faculty to play whereas Carolina and Duke allow only full time students. !n order for us to compete on a fitting basis we had to recruit people from all levels of the Unviersity, because of the smailer number of students from the northern parts of the country, than either of our adversaries. The SGA at Carolina gave their team $1900 dollars to establish themselves. Other than the ten odd dollars donated by a few concerned students on campus, our team has been supported by local businesses in the purchase of our equipment, valued around $3,000. We accepted the handicap and all other odds against us and once again a minor’ club sport defeated the “big baddies” and have contributed another laurel to our growing collection against ACC teams. If we are so concemed on entering the ACC, we shouid be interested iN proving our ability to compete on their level in aS many sports as possibile As a conciusion, | should ask Mr Evans that in the future he examine his comments and rather than trying to follow the footsteps of noted sportscasters, show a little true interest in sports and write nis articles for the benefit of his tearm and the sport iiself | feel his comments have severely hurt the newly formed league as weil as Our own team. Most of the people in the area are new to the sport, but if Mr. Evans had been at the Friday night game against Carolina and seen close to 400 spectators, many of whom's only knowledge of hockey was Ryan O'Neal's brief scene on ice in “Love Story”, screaming with more enthusiasm than most sports receive, he might have written with some of the same. Aiso Mr. Evans, please research your material a iittie more carefully. | fear you have done much damage to a New league which has been in existence two months and still managed a 4 game season. | along with the team thank the students, faculty and locais who have supported us and | offer Mr. Evans two free front row tickets to next year's games (behind the goal of course) Sincerely, Rodney F.

Of these, only 506 were returned The other 494 were placed in the ‘no opinion’ category because they were not returned, according to Dickerson The ‘no opinion’ responses were a3 follows. Art Exhibition - 59.8 percent; Artist Series - 54.4; Coffeehouse - 59.1; Films - 549: Lecture - 59.4; Major Attractions - 67.9; Minotiry Arts - 64.4; Recreation - 60; Special Concerts - 57.9; Theatre Arts - 54.9; Travel - 58; and Video Tape - 62.3 “The ‘No Opinion Week’ is the only thing which has ever been an effort by the entire Union,” Dickerson said. “We're just doing this for a response “The effect will be dramatic because we're really going to extremes,” he added None of the usual activities sponsored by the Student Union will be heid during ‘No Opinion Week,’ according to Dickerson ee ee eescecossoooeceesooooess Undergraduate and Graduate School Students $15,000, $20,000, or $25,000 The Senior Plan is designed Specifically for the college senior and last-year graduate student.

Julian Vainwright, assistant to the business manager, whose office makes up and distributes the bad check list and handles requests for prosecution said, ‘We don't want to charge or prosecute anyone, but we simply have to. We are getting too many returns, and if we don't prosecute, it will get worse.” The criteria for having one’s name placed on the bad check list are one continually unredeemed check, or three bad checks in a period of nine months In addition, the first bad check returned after having one’s name removed from the bad check list automatically places the person back on the list How does one manage to have his name removed trom the list? “Simply paying the check is not enough,” said Vainwright whose office also handles all bad check appeals Each case is handled by Vainwright on a personal besis with no set standard for removal. Explanation of the error and documented proof of credit are the basic requirements. Barnhill then recognized the remaining members of his executive council for their service. Treasurer, John Evans, Cor- responding Secretary, Steve Woods, and Recording Secretary, Jack Woods Hinnant in a short speech expressed hope the MRC wouid continue its growth next year How many bad checks are floating around’ What is the percentage of increase? While everyone agrees the nurnber of bad checks are on the increase, no one interviewed seems to know for sure by how much or how many Mrs. Frances Dorey confirmed that 63 names are presently on the ECU bad check list and that the Student Bank is now holding over $1,000 worth of bad checks While conceding that a number of bar checks are the result of innocent errors in addition, she believes the service charge and bad check list are fair “When a person signs his name to a check, he or she is stating that the necessary funds are avaiiabie,” said Mrs Dorey The problem gces beyond the campus. Ot 15 area businesses contacted, ali agreed bad checks have increased. Eight have restricted checks to the amount of purchase only and four have stopped cashing checks entirely te Nt ha “No tipping please. Just leave us with a smile” Bo nanza Sirloin Pit 520 W.
