This committee, which included representatives from both the administration and students, has met seven times since last Spring to iron out the plans for this year’s big event. It's a fact that the Student Government Association has contributed some $1 750 for the Homecoming this year. These funds were used by the Homecoming Steering Committee to cover such costs as hiring Bug, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs bands, paying for floats and house and Sleeping Beauty's Castle decorations, and even giving a little In concert for Homecoming in 1969 were the Friends of Distinction, Canadian rock group, the Guess Who, and the soul pioneer Jerry Butler Homecoming lost some of its gaiety as began.

Harwood noted that some nine high school bands had given positive responses to play in the parade “Last year we only had three high school bands so we may end up with three times that many this year,” Harwood continued. There will also be come 15 floats in the parade, an increase of about five float units over last year. oom ot FRED GRAY . Homecoming is ------ The Homecoming Season is here. That joyous, festive time of year when old friendships are renewed, new ones deepened and dreams fulfilled. In keeping with its unwavering commitment to provide information and happiness to all students at ECU, FOUNTAINHEAD has been wandering, as unobtrusively as possibly, in and about the old Student Union attempting to capture the Homecoming spirit through a truly mystical medium, the man-on-the-street interview. Amazingly, many students were unaware of the sundry festivities that have been scheduled for Homecoming Monday, Oct. 13, through Saturday, Oct. 18. With the theme, ‘America Revisited,” this year’s Homecoming extravaganza wiil feature concerts, movies, dances, a parade and play, ECU versus VMI in soccer, and of course, the ECU versus Western Carolina football game. Other than the game, most students with whom FOUNTAINHEAD _ chatted In addition to the bands and the floats at least eight of the homecoming contestants will ride in convertibles in the parade. And, two marching drill units will be in the parade along with two different groups of parade horses, one of these groups is coming from as far away as DAVID OBRYANT showed interest in concerts. “I'll definitely go to the concerts and the football game,"’ avowed David O'Bryant, a business major. “That's what it's all about.” Cherry Riggs, student, explained her Homecoming. “| won't make it to the parade on Saturday morning,” she admitted. “Ten o'clock is just too early. But I'll probably go to the Linda Ronstadt and Ike and Tina Turner concerts.” A doubt about attending the parade was also expressed by Fred Gray, an urban and regional planning major. “Otherwise, !’ll go to anything like the concerts where the bands are decent,” Gray said. Jeff Ledbetter, an industrial technology major, confirmed the pervasive interest in concerts as well as_ the traditional Homecoming wish. the greatest a general college plans for Richmond, Virgina, Harwood pointed out Harwood pointed out that the parade would more than likely even pick up some units as the Oct. 18th draws closer The parade will form at Rose High School this year, just like in past years. JEFF LEDBETTER ‘lll go to the concerts, but the game will really be good when we beat Western Carolina,” he insisted And to many the grid iron battle that culminates Homecoming week is the essence of the celebration Asked what her first thought was when the word “Homecoming” was mentioned, Cherry Riggs replied, ‘a football game.” Homecoming for Robert Wilson, an industrial technology major, is “a week set aside in the academic year for friends to get together and have a good time.” Fred Gray elaborated on the “What is Homecoming?” idea in saying, “it’s a weekend when everyone is supposed to support the school, have a good time, get drunk, whatever.” To Jeff Ledbetter, Homecoming, “is a big event that comes once a year with special activities, including a band. It’s a big gathering for the students of ECU, a big party time.” The route from there will be down Elm Street to Fifth and then left on Fifth Street From there the parade will continue down Fifth past the University and into the downtown section. In past years the parade has taken a right on Evans Street but due to Evans Street work this year the parade will go one block further down and turn right on Washington. From Washington the parade will go to Third Street and turn right again and then down to Reade Street where it will disband on the University property around the Willis Building A review stand for the judges and special guests will be setup in the front yard of the Chancellor's residence on Fifth across from the campus Har wood explained that the best vantage point for the parade would be along Fifth in front of the university “Fifth is really an ideal street for a parade and students can find good viewing spots anywhere concluded along it,’ Harwood ROBERT WILSON With that in mind, FOUNTAINHEAD extends a Happy Homecoming wish to all ECU students, faculty, and alumni Aer MRI.

Johnson, however coached ECT nly two more wins in the next two years and 1949, was replaced by Bill Dole DAVE ALEXANDER [1963-1965] Under Dole, the Pirates won 15 games over the next three years, some by aS much as 67-0, 54-7, 45-0 and 36-6. But Dole. too. gave way to a new coach. The Pirates’ new coach this time would stay for awhile JACK BOONE, ECU’S FIRST WINNER His name was Jack Boone. He had been at ECU for awhile and had come up through the ranks. It would be until 1961 that Boone would coach the East Carolina College team During his first three years, Boone piled up records of 6-3-2, 8-2 and 6-2-1, as the ECC schedule got tougher every year In 1952, ECC went to its first bowl game ever, the Elks Bowl Certainly not the Rose bowl, but the Pirates had made it. In 1953, ECU returned to the Elks Bowl, but, as in 1952 they did not win IN 1955, East Carolina got its first All-American. His name was Lou Hallow. Hallow, a center, made Little All-American honors despite his team’s 4-5 record IN 1959, a now familiar face to East athletics, Bill Cain, served as team captain to the ECC team. It was during Cain's senior year that East Carolina enjoyed its biggest football victory in history, a 74-0 slaughter over Newport News Apprentice One foe that East Carolina constantly played that was anemesis to Boone was Lenoir Rhyne. During his 10 year reign as head coach, Boone's teams beat Lenoir Rhyne only twice in ten meetings. One of the reasons for the Bears’ domination of the Pirates was their head coach, Clarence Stasavich. Apparently the school officials were listening, because in 1962 Stasavich replaced Boone as head football coach For his Boone's record was 50-43-5 STAS--THE LEGEND AND THE DARK Under Stasavich it didn’t take long for ECU's football tradition to become a legend. In an era when other schools were switching to new offenses, Stasavich kept the ECC team in the single wing, and by 1965, he had led the Pirates to three consecutive 9-1 seasons and two trips to the Tangerine Bowl. In both 1963 and 1964 the Pirates won the Tangerine Bowl Carolina tenure as coach 1965 was the Pirates’ first year in the Southern Conference that they could compete for the title and Stasavich directed them to a3-1-Orecord. In 1966, the Pirates had a 4-1-1 record to tie for the title. That in the days when George Washington, Virginia Tech and West Virginia were still in the conterence. In 1967, Stasavich led the Pirates to another great year, as the Pirates won eight and lost two. But the single wing was_ getting outdated and 1968 and 1969 were losing seasons for Stasavich and the Pirates. A lot of people felt new and younger blood was needed, so in 1970 Stasavich hung up his coaching spikes to devote more time to being Athletic Director. Mike McGee shuffled his way in as ECU’s new head football coach CHANGING FACES McGee didn't have too much success at East Carolina that first year, but it seemed the ECU football program had finally grown up. On the schedule that year for the first time was North Carolina State. West Texas State, Toledo and West Virginia added big name talent on the Pirates schedule That was the year of the crash of the Marshall football team and the ECU campus was draped in mourning, for only the night before the Pirates had beaten the Marshall team, 17-14. The crash of the Marshall plane wasn’t the only disaster for the ECU football team that year, as McGee coached the Pirates to a poor 38 record, before heading westward to Duke University. East Carolina lost its first seven games that year, before winning three of its last four games over Furman, Marshall and Davidson. When McGee left, his place was taken by “old ironsides”, Sonny Randle. The former St. Louis Cardinal great had been BUTCH COLSON [1967-1969] an assistant under McGee and when named head coach he brought a major name to East Carolina football and the football program grew with it A WINNING TRADITION IS STARTED Randle enjoyed a margin of success in his initial year at the Pirate helm, despite his 4-6 record. What really counted was that he laid his groundwork for a future of championship East Carolina teams in his next two years, with his fiery coaching style and often times Outspoker comments That first year, Randle’s squad open by losing five of its first six games, by combined score of 203-90. Randle mus: have been wondering about this collec coaching debut And the next week, ECU was supposi to play North Carolina State, who had t ECU in 1970, 23-6.

At that none ‘time, Clarence Stasavich was the ECU 19 about th coach and Dan Robinson was the WCU rates woul, , The East Carolina soccer team will have to get up early on Saturday to meet, and » hopefully, defeat the VMI Keydets. That's not because they want to get a head start on the Keydets, but because their contests with VMI begins at 9:30 in the morning. If the dawn’s early light doesn’t hamper the Pirates, then their last three games will make the task a little harder. In the last week, ECU has met North Carolina, Richmond and Appalachian State. If Coach Frye’s team is still in the running for the Southern Conference title by now, then VMI will have a lot to do with bettering, or possibly eliminating, their coach. The Pirates best Western, 50-0, that year and went on to the Eastern Bowl, finishing with a 9-1-0 record. Western, on the other hand, finished with a lowly 2-6-1 record Since that time both teams have fallen to the doldrums and returned again to football respectability. In the last three years, ECU has won 25 of its 33 games, not including a 3-3 record this year. Over the same period, Western has shown a 22-4-1 ledger. Bob Waters has compiled a record of 41-17-2 over the last six years as head coach at Western Carolina. Pat Dye, too, is not used to losing, having coached under one of the greatest coaches of All-Time at Alabama, Charles “Bear” Bryant. So if history means anything, then Saturday's contest between the Pirates and Catamounts should be one heck of a matchup. And afterall, isn’t history and the past what Homecoming’s ali about? Booters wake up with VMI chances, The Keydets’ top man is_ forward Freddie Allner, of Bethesda, Md. Allner, a junior, is scoring at the rate of two goals a game for the Keydets and is the team leader on offense. ECU, on the other hand, has their own leaders in high scorers Danny O’Shea, Pete Angus and Harry Hartofellis. Tom Tozer is another top ECU player. The early starting time for the game will enable the booters to enjoy the Homecoming festivities for the afternoon. But if they lose, Homecoming could have a big effect on the team’s future, as well as a rememberance of the past. These two losses were blamed with ECU not getting an appearance in a post-season bowl game. The SC crown Carolina CARL SUMMERALL [1971-1973] was fruit enough for the Pirates, whose record was the best in eight years In 1973, the Pirates repeated the feat and again, State (8-57) and Carolina (27-28) were the only ECU losses. Again ECU was not invited to a bowl game and again ECU was undefeated in conference play, for a second consecutive SC title. In 1973, ECU outscored its opposition, 352-151. 57 of the oppositions’ points came in that opening game loss to State. GOODBYE SONNY AND HELLO PAT Late in the 1973 season rumors had begun to spread that Randie may be leaving for greener pastures, specifically his old stomping grounds at the Unviersity of Virginia.

How different were they from the college kids of today? To find out the answers let’s step back a few years and see what was happening at good old ECC in the fabulous fifties.. WHERE WERE YOU IN’52? Most of us were just in the process of being thought of way back in ’52, but for those Greenville was in an era characterized by change and development bably One of the greatest changes to occur that year was in the name of the school from East Carolina Teachers College to East Carolina College. New additions to npus in ‘52 included the Little Theatre, and the New Gymnasium (which is now i gymnasium). In those days every student at ECU was a member of the yvernment Association. The student newspaper was known as the Teco Echo, tt that year.

Married students lived in the basement of jormitories, and the faculty strove to help “ECC live up to its name as the ‘friendliest 2ollege in the state’. The senior class that year had 360 members, and the freshman class was the largest in the school’s history with 857 students. The football team lost to Morris Harvey 12-0 in the first annual Elks Bowl held on January 2. Cokes in the student union were ten cents, and the SGA sponsored its first street dance. 20d0ition to the er than well knowr ce be nis guide Homecoming exclusive | After extensive negotiations, the | Fountainhead has gained rights to an exclusive interview with ECU's oldest fraternity brother, Harry F.
