All those students that can be accomodated can go to a university “There are five universities capable of hapdling a total of about 40,000 to 50,000 students. This is about 40 percent of those who graduate from high school,” he added The government has also provided a Scientific Mission program, he said “About 1500 students who qualify receive government scholarships to study abroad The government pays their tuition along with a regular salary. The students enter and study under a variety of programs. We would be very happy to see some Iraqi students here (at ECU) but as of yet there is no formal program,” Al-Rawi said The iraqi government is striving to improve its standard of agriculture, according to Al-Rawi.

The session, the last for this year's SGA and the longest, gave the most time to the plight of the marching band, which had found itself without financial backing The argument for the $8800 appropriation centered on the fact that without the money the student band, which has grown in popularity and in professionalism over the past few years, would be in for difficult times and painful budget cuts. The athietic department, which normally funds the Marching Pirates, will not budget iully the band because it feels it does not have the funds. The department has a budget of $900 000, according to debate in SGA The opponents of the bill felt that the athietic department did have the money but would not spend it, hoping SGA would take up the slack. SGA President Jimmy Honeycutt, who opposed the bill, promised to fight for a fairer budget from the athietic department at the Athietic Council meeting. With that meeting in mind, the SGA voted through a resolution in support of Honeycutt's efforts for the band OTHER SGA NEWS Tne SGA plans to sponsor an essay-writing contest early next year to perk up interest in student government and to get new ideas and more input from the campus at large.

These inciude Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. For the most part, it is too late to begin major construction. Teh ARBA does believe, however, that much can still be done in the area of visitor services Visitor services range from accomoda- tions and simple courtesy to the special problems of foreign visitors involving language barriers and money exchange probiems Though visitor services and rejated problems can be described generally, solutions can only be found on a community basis. What is a critical need in one city may not be a problem in the next town In 1973, the ARBA undertook a Home Hospitality Survey which revealed that almost one half of the respondents would be willing to nave a foreign guest in their home without compensation and nearly as many would house an American visitor Of those responding positively, most would welcome visitors regardiess of race, religion of national origin and many would be willing to accompany guests to local ARBA also conducted a study of the low cost accomodations The listing of actual facilities was shared with the Counci! on International Education Exchange (CIEE) for inclusion in their jireactory “Where to Stay, USA” which is available for $2.95 The paperback contains details on approximately 1,250 low cost (under $9 00) accomodations, as weil as information on bus, train, plane and bike transportation and hitchhiking The booklet can be purchased in book stores or from CIEE, Department EH, 977 U.N.

In the survey, each person was counted as one visitor at each historical location or event visited per day. The survey was conducted for the Bicentennial Council of the Thirteen Original States by the Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies Presented as estimates rather than predictions the survey revealed a maximum potential of 875 million visitors to the East Coast during 1976.

There will be thousands o' programs and events commemorating local and regional heritage and the vaned) ethnic and racial cultural background oO the nation’s peopie Seeing America in its rich diversity 1s a good way to see t Bicentennial. People should conside shorter trips without overnight stays (2) Many Americans want to visit the nation’s Capital, and the many historic revolutionary war sites in the onginal 13 states, but they should make sure they have confirmed reservations before embarking on long-distance trips $ (3) Visitors to heavily trafficked sites should make use of special public transportation and other public services provided For Amerncans genera/ly, whether planning a trp or not. Mr Warner has these words “The Bicentennial is a time for coming together. The World has been invited to come visit US and see the results of this great experiment in self-govern- ment itis atime for a renewal of our spirit of hospitality ‘if each of us, as individuals, makes a special effort to make visitors weicome, in small towns and large cities, the experiences of our guests will be pleasant and memorabie.” Reviews FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 6, NO. 52/13 MAY 1975 Lenny: excellent in every facet; almost LENNY By CHIP GWYNN i v¥ itx he vt ! far ws wer ihe 4 ft t ASt Lannny Lenny r t i 4 ee ‘ (* ‘ + te ‘ + . 4 Ke ia 1 t bs i enny " OOK PSs ferent t . net . ‘ fetachment t the pe ality and ‘ afx the eatment f the + he maior fa within the Dustin Hoffman does an excellent job iS Lenny and his characterization of the an iS aS sensative and realistic as Could be hoped for The problem arises in the jirectors attitude toward his material and t Hoffman s acting As a result { the lirecting we never seem to be able t e at Lennys triumphs and on the aT ane we never can really feel sorry ne e fa At re t tage wearir i i ‘ uF ht \ eter atex { YW M bab! y r and t Ld jue, t? 0 a grea act + PVORKE 3 r Jetachne 4 Bit amt } yf have had a ‘ ie alle i alt . t hte hot ty.

Looking back over the year | see many stories that could have been written, should have been written. | see editonals that could have revealed a little more, perhaps have taken a stronger stand. But | must say that the year has been a full one, full of many hanges, achievements and shortcomings as well FOUNTAINHEAD was too often lambasted this year for not jumping on issues and reating nots, revealing scandals. IN defense of this | say, it is extremely hard to jump 1n issues with the purpose of creating riots when there just aren't any to jump on. The tempestuous years of the sixties have faded away into past issues of the FOUNTAINHEAD and we are left with a much calmer environment. The college newspapers still searching for radical exposes must be floundering in a gray mist. It has now become the purpose of college papers to report the truth as well as possible and face up to the humdrum reality of living in a world where nearly everything is passe’ Nevertheless, since you are our readers, and since you are the origins of our financial security, one brief look at FOUNTAINHEAD’s exploits may interest you. This year we have grown from a 12 page paper to a 16 and 20 page publication with several 24 page ssues. Do you know that that makes FOUNTAINHEAD the largest student newspaper in the state and possibly in the southeast. If that does not impress you, perhaps this word may help, FOUNTAINHEAU ts entirely extra curricular, in other words, no ciass credit is awarded for the numerous hours spent working to inform the students. No faculty nor administration is involved in any way except, as students, to supply information for print A month ago, we moved into a new publication center, not quite finished yet, but at least operabie. This in itself is a giant step, for now al! publications (except EBONY HERALD) are under the same root For the efforts of the hardworking staff, the FOUNTAINHEAD was awarded a First Place rating in broad competition at Columbia University sponsored Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Associated Collegiate Press also deemed FOUNTAINHEAD a First Class publication. We were applauded for having excellent coverage of such a large campus with so many students. Also cited for merit were our efforts at fair and unbiased coverage. attractive page designs, imaginative layout, student written articles and apealing to a large interest, as well as our coverage of city and state news (occasionally even national) There is also an advantage to working on the staff of a newspaper. That is, that we 4p Nere) are in a better seat to see what is going on all over campus. We see the rivaines bet ween some faculty over released information on individual salaries, the conservatism f the administration, the issues before the SGA legislature, numereus problems students face Some of the better things we saw this year were the two times that students joined behind ar issue in opposition. I'm referring to the referendum against fee increase to fund new lighting at Ficklen Stadium and the rally to voice protest at a tate tuition increase for next year. These were mostly prompted by the SGA with overage and publicity in FOUNTAINHEAD, and for these as well as some other ittainments, the SGA can be congratulated A few of the younger legislators are really whips in the lagisiature and do not hesitate to jump all over some issues and tear them wn to the bone. If these people continue in the legislature, | can only hope no one has teas of trying to get anything by them, | mean anything, unless it can stand up to the microscope test Another initiation of the SGA, and one worth mention, is the retreat program. it is about time students ang taculty began to Know one another in a more relaxed situation ere departmental suggestions and changes can be discussed freely. Students are the NeS paying to attend the classes and if we are mature enough to enroll in college, we are nature enough to have a part in talking over aspects of the departments with our jleques and professors This is one new program which can only benefit by being lowed to continue In final summary, | would like to be so selfish and unprofessional as to vindicate myself on certain matters. Anyone in public service and in the public light, so to speak liable for criticism — plenty of i. Unless you sit in a corner with a blanket over your head you can't expect not to be cut down, tagged and smeared, no matter how justly or injustly. That is an occupational hazzard. |t is also rather chailenging However, | will say here, for the record, | am not prejudiced against sororities and fraternities, not am | a racist. | don't remember anything | have said or done in my past 'hree years at ECU to deserve these tags and, being human, | resent being called such by those who do not know me. The person who has headed up your student paper this year » merely a junior History major from Arizona who, having been involved with newspapers for the past nine years, decided to try it once again. My only intention this year has been, along with the intentions of my staff, to inform you, the readers of what is going on in your school, city and state, with or without your money and interest, sometimes without your knowledge. That is the only reason we have been up here all year. | don't know why we care, except that someone has to, don't you agree? And for all those who felt slighted or run over by FOUNTAINHEAD this past year, we are only a handful of people up here doing the very best we can. We too are students, young people and tied up. We've worked for you this year, with no real regrets. We hope FOUNTAINHEAD was usefu! to you and that at times aroused your interest in important matters Next year's editor, Mike Taylor (who, contrary to many rumors, is not in any way related to me) will take FOUNTAINHEAD even further. Good luck to you al! next year Good by ar en nee To Fountainhead | would like to take this opportunity to thank ail the writers that have written for me this year Jeff Rollins, Chip Gwynn, Tom Haines, Patsy Hinton, Cindy Kent Pat Fiynn, David Savage Brown, Chuck Nystrom, Lee Lewis, Bob Cunningham, Boo To Fountainhead | have been following Mr. Nystroms reviews and have begun to find them extremely revolting. Ligntly speaking | would say he is full of shit. Of course things are not what they used to be, but what can you expect with Clapton burned out on heroin and Zeppelin fighting the styles until they can produce their real sound. Most of the rest have just siowed down for a while because there is really nothing to write about. If Nystrom thinks he is being ripped-off perhaps he should try to go through what these guys are. | hope we can expect to see reviews in the future which are not so biased towards the perfection of the Beatles or so contradictory to themselves. | think it is time Nystrom cut down on his diet of spaghetti and Ragu Sauce. His noodies are definitely becoming well-greased. Sincerely, Jonn Wyatt and John Evans.

(Many people have done this before and it was getting to be regular habit.) Before they could reach the machines, two policemen, who had been hiding in the basement, arrested them. My question is: Why should the basement be locked in the first place? Scott dorm, like other dorms, was built for students with the intent for the students to use. Why doesn't that include the basement? the basement in the women dorm is available 24-hrs. a day, why not the men dorms It seems to me that if Thorpe Vending Company wants to protect their machines, why don’t they hire their own guards instead of using the campus police, whose salaries come from our funds and taxes. Shouldn't that be against the iaw - using state and student funds to protect the welfare of a private enterprize. if Thorpe is scared that their machines will be ripped off, then get the damn things out of the dorms, they don't work haif the time anyway To the four students who got arrested, ! am sorry that you have to be the unlucky ones to suffer for a mistake. | have been to the SGA about this and they think it is very unfair. | also have an appointment with the SGA lawyer to see if we can get the charges reduced or tet the Honor Councii handle it instead of a criminal count In the meantime, to the four guys, please let me know if | can heip vou and again | apologize for this mistake and | wish you the best of luck Michael Martin 304-A Scott Danny E.

Editor's note: Student Union has an operating budget this year of $145,115. budget inciudes only the anticipated expenses and does not include anticipated receipts as they are To Fountainhead Here at ECU there is an organization called the Student Union. Surprised? You shouldn't be, but the truth is) many Students know very little about this important programming organization. The Student Union had a budget of $250,000 this year, which is $3.50 per student, per quarter. Much is written about the ways the SGA spends money. Every Monday at 5:00 the SGA hangs out its laundry, whether you see it as clean or dirty, its there for everyone to see. But what about the Student Union? When was the last time you saw detailed figures about their finances? Which concerts make money, which lose? Who gets paid salaries and how much? When are the pros and cons of the issues discussed and reported to the Fountainhead with both sides? These questions and many more need answering Recently a statement was made by Gary Massie, 1972 Student Union president, in the articie of May 6, on the Student Union Installation Banquet, “We wanted to bring the programming at ECU up to professional level, away trom the politics of the SGA Perhaps what Mr. Massie is saying is, away from the eyes of the SGA, away from the eyes of the student's representatives who are responsibie to them Did you hear anything about how much the Student Union's banquet cost? I'm Sure you know about the SGA’s banquet cost, if you read the news articies or my letter in this section on April 15. But did anyone talk about the Student Union's banquet, that it cost more than the SGA’s, that they used student's money to buy liquor.

All of the old problems of that facility such as poor acoustics and not exactly quality seating were left behind. Most of the problems that have arisen in Mendenhall have been due to the poor quality of films that we have received and not the fault of the projectionist of technician.

Arniete 17} Ron Staggs: Athlete of the Year By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor Ron Staggs seems at home in a pasepall uniform. The hat, the uniform, the shoes all seem to fit him perfectly. The sight of Staggs at the plate seems to exemplify the classic baseball stance And when Staggs gets to the plate, he seems more than at home. And 1975 was Staggs year at the plate Staggs. this year's FOUNTAINHEAD Athlete of the Year, says it simply when discussing his hitting outlook | just work on hitting the ball,” is ail the Englewood, Ohio native will teli you and “hit the ball” is surely what he did this year in breaking seven career hitting records Staggs' statistics seem to back up the slugger’s outlook on hitting. For the year, Staggs batted .381 with seven more home runs and 23 runs batted in. Add to that, a season record 22 runs scored and one has the best yuar ever for the slugger For Staggs, the week of March 23-29 brought seven records. These records, ali career records, were most at bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs, total pases and runs batted in. Following that record week, every time Staggs stepped up to the plate he set a record. He finished his four-year career at East Carolina with 333 at bats, 60 runs, 108 hits, 20 doubles, 16 home runs, 175 total bases and 70 runs batted in. In addition, Staggs averaged a walk in every four at bats during the 1975 season, making him even an asset when he did not get a hit. Staggs' greatest feats, however, could i@ in the future. Cenainly a pro prospect, Staggs Showed his real hitting talent last summer in the Valley League when he set the league on fire as the league's Most Valuabie Player, batting .417, with 10 home runs and 40 runs batted in. These figures and those from this past season ae Certainly professional credentials. Perhaps, Ron Staggs is lucky the ECU ‘eam will not go to the NCAA Regional baseball playoffs this yeer, because that ‘act could lead to his staring a professional career earlier than expected Ron Staggs will never suit up in an ECU baseball uniform again, but that by no Tan's indicates that ECU sports fans will ever Near of him again ror Staggs’ career is just beginning, were Nis collegiate career is ending VOTING FOR ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Ron Staggs 4 Caner Suggs 3 Danny Kepley 1 Willie Bryant 1 ———SSS—SSO aia a ee _— Ha xe ating Be . sen ee Year with double victory PAriecade a ede ews tk!

It is from a member of the media which covers ECU athletic teams, but the author's name will not be given. Evans Congratulations on your column conceming the Southern Con (ha ha) Conference In the last meeting heid in Boone, the Conference came through with the type of infinite wisdom and sure-handed movement that would befit any of the aging geriatrics of which it is largely composed. They decided they would do nothing This was done, | am sure, to let WCU know that the Southern Conference is worth getting into. that by laying the carrot out further in front of the horse, the horse will work harder to get it. If this means urging WCU to complete the upgrading of several of its programs, then fine Also, as a member of the news madia, | challenge you to gather for yourself any form of coherent information from anyone associated with the conference as to records, reports, etc., concaming the conference's actions. The conference is the only one in the NCAA that can't get its football statistics to the media on time (therefore they are never used) and still it hires a full-time publicity man. Attempts have been made to upgrade the conference in this area, to get it out of the hangers-on category in competition to theACC, but this has been met by the conference office with disdain. Why? Just like at the last meeting, the head people do not want to do anything. They do not want to take any great strides for fear of making someone mad. In this case, timidity is the [ Pandmaiden of boredom and one complaint is worth 10,000 compliments. Stodgy and old, the artenes must be hardening Well. this is what the people of ECU and the rest of the conference will face. Praise be to Ricmond for their decision. Meanwhile, ECU is content to hang on so it can dominate Dominate what? Dominate nothing, like the conference meeting. You are nothing so you compete at nothing and you dominate nothing by making nothing Je@eCiSIONS You figure it out A Member of the Press Baseball team review: up and down season By WILLIE PATRICK Staff Writer The bat giveth and the bat taketh away That was the story of the 1975 Pirate baseball season. |t was 4S simple as that Filled with hopes of repeating as Southern Conference hampions, the Pirates entered March looking down the barre! f a 36-game schedule. A whopping 21 f those games were scheduled for March, while the remainder would be coming from then until May 10 But with the scheduling, competition bad weather, etc. it was not to be the Pirates year. There were many high points and low ones during the season that a rationalist could point to as crucial in the Pirate season Prior to the season's start, outfielder Glenn Card suffered a leg injury that would sideline him forthe opening games, as did outfielder Bobby Harrison. So with a somewhat makeshift outfield, the Pirates rolled up a respectable 4-3, 1-1 record prior to going to Davidson for a doubleheader Maybe the Pirates could have taken the omens as a group of signs conceming what was going to happen. Rain washed away the Saturday games, and on Sunday the Wildcats pounded out 2-1 and 64 wins. Suddenly, the Pirates weren't on top any more, but were 1-3 in the conference play : The Pirates came home, struggled through games with Maryland, Eastem Connecticutt and Duke before ripping VMI 3-2 and 17-0. Were the Pirates finally on the night track? It looked like it just could be After a game with UNC was washed out (making a total of six lost in the month of March) the Pirates evened the record at 8-8 with a 52 verdict over Pembroke. From there, the Pirates went on to win nine of the last 13 games, including a pair of victories Over new conference ciampion The Citadel Those victories were important in that they gave ECU the winning edge over ASU in the Commissioners Cup race (losses would have tied ECU with ASU; as it was, the Pirates finished two places above the Mounties Prior to the season's start, the Pirates were faced with taking on the season with a nearly all inexperienced pitching Staff. As it tured out, it was pitching that heid the Pirates together in tight moments. Whereas the hitting was supposedly sound, giving the Pirates more depth than ever before, there were starters making contact, but just not getting the hits. However, there remained one Pirate hitter who made his own breaks “! just work on hitting the ball,” Ron Staggs will say. And hit he did. The senior first-baseman from Englewood, Ohio, belted the ball for a .381 average, including seven home runs and 23 runs batted in. Along the way, he set new Pirate career hitting records for at bats (333), runs (60), hits (108), doubles (20), home runs (16), total bases (175), runs batted in (70), tied the record for most runs scored (22), second place for single season hits (37), and heid on to his spot with total bases, second place (66) Stagqs, at times, carried +} nis back, if appeared. but oft because of the quiet but stea Steve Bryant.
