Fountainhead Dorm students told to remove appliances By HELENA WOODARD Assistant News Editor Several dorm residents, especially in Cotten, Jarvis and Fleming Halls, were recently given deadlines to remove from their rooms all electrical appliances exceeding wattage regulations, according to Dan K. Wooten, ECU housing director. Other residents were asked to limit the operation of appliances also exceeding regulation as specified by the handbook, “Living at ECU.” 1000 WATTS According to the handbook, electrical appliances used for cooking must not exceed 1000 watts, and only one appliance may be used per room at any given time Also, refrigerators are limited to a maximum of 2.5 cubic feet in size with a maximum consumption of 50 watts “We've had problems in the three oldest dorms. It is a matter of inadequate wiring to accomodate the appliances being used,” Wooten said Through some spot checking, we found that students use 1200 v att frying ; and.1500 watt ovens at the same causing an overload,” he added STUDENTS ASKED TO LIMIT Wooten said students are asked to limit electrical power usage themselves This problem came up Fall Quarter of last year.

Considered at the start only slightly, one article has risen SGA scheduled to hear hills The Student Government Legislature is scheduled Monday to hear three appropriations bills if approved by committee Thejegislature will be asked to approve! the SGA Executive Council and Transportation budgets A legislative reform bill will also be heard It would entail hiring a_ part-time legislative clerk to handle some of the secretarial duties of the speaker's office. Whether these bills will be heard as is, recommended for change, or killed depends upon the Appropriations Committee. This committee met last consider these bills. SGA legislature meets in the Assembly Room on the second floor of Mendenhall Student Center night to cooperation and we got it,” he said Wooten was asked what steps Housing would take to enforce power conservation if voluntary methods failed CUTTING POWER ‘As far as | know, no one has considered cutting off the power between certain hours. If students don’t conform, it will cause hardships on everyone,” he answered According to a Cotton Hall resident, who asked not to be named, students were not given sufficient advance notice on the amount of power and appliances they could use in the dorms “I've had my refrigerator for two years. No one told me that it was larger than regulations required,” she said UPGRADE INFORMATION Wooten said he hoped to upgrade information for next school year and to have available the total wattage to be used at any one given time. ‘Any requirements we make would apply to all the dorms on campus,” he said Wooten added that students who signed up for dorm rooms last May were all given copies of the student handbook, Living at ECU”, and incoming students were mailed copies of the handbook during the summer ‘Everyone living on campus has had access to this book,” he said among heated confrontation between the educational institutions and the Federal Government Effective July 21, 1975 Federal legislation known as Title 1X will bring about a further diminishing of sexual discrimination in education. This law states ‘No person in the United States shall on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance...’ Why were educational institutions involved in legislation concerning sexual discrimination? During hearings on this new law, testimony was heard on existing policies in the educational sphere. This testimony was enough to convince legislatures that the inclusion was not only necessary, but deserved special attention. Last Tuesday afternoon the ECU Affirmative Action Program for Equal Employment Opportunities held a workshop in Brewster 102. The overall purpose of this meeting was to further organize ECU's Title IX Program In a two hour session Dr. David Stevens, ECU attorney, and Mr. Dick Farris Assistant Director of the ECU Equal Opportunity Program, gave an overview and discussed the establishment of the i!

These committees will be covering areas from admissions to athletics The general purpose of the program will not only be the compliance with Title 1X, but the establishment of written guidelines of procedures and the implementation of actions which will realign potential discriminatory areas. Furthermore, the program must evaluate its progress, publicize its intentions and establish a feedback for media All of these efforts must be completed by July 1976 in order to avoid governmental intervention in the funding The athletic department will be the one exception. They will be allowed until July 1978 to meet full compliance “Athletics” will encompass all sports which are inter-scholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural in nature. Mirror programs are not always necessary but they must be comparatice. Indications thus far indicate that governmental enforcement will be Strict. With the economy in its present condition failure to comply could prove quite ‘disastrous to many institutions. EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 7, NO. 11 16 OCTOBER 1975 e sex discrimination Ideally Title IX would be a definite improvement towards eliminating sexual discrimination. Improvements will be made in admission testing, off-campus job assistance, and the obtaining of comparable athletic facilities and off-campus housing There is, however, a large amount of confusion involved with this iaw. A hypothetical example was raised during the workshop session. Since there can be no discrimination of pregnant females, a student nurse, working in pediatrics ward while in early stages of pregnancy, could be exposed to measles endangering her Rick Phillips of 101 River Bluff Apartments took top honors in the weekly football contest. Phillips tied with two. ther contestants with no losses for the eekly slate but came out in front with his, iebreaker selection for the number of points scored in the ECU game.

Box 1242, Greenville was third 2 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 7, NO. 11/16 OCTOBER 1975 EdiforialssSCommentary Med school casualty During a recent meeting of the North Carolina Association of Student Governments meeting in Chapel Hill, ECU SGA president Jimmy Honeycutt asked some rather interesting questions concerning the failure of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors to reappoint the Chairman of the ECU Board of Trustees back to the Board this past summer. Raleigh Businessman Roddy L. Jones, who had served as Chairman of the ECU Board fc. two years, was not reappointed to the ECU Board by the UNC Governors wien his term expired this summer. Honeycutt, during a question and answer round with UNC Board of Governors Chairman William Dees, asked the UNC Chairman what the criteria were in making appointments to the local Board of Trustees and specially why Jones was not reappointed to the ECU group. According to Honeycutt, Dees listed at least four objectives in making appointments to the various Boards of Trustees. Dees, according to Honeycutt, contended that the Board wanted 1) to get members of the ECU group from various parts of the state, 2) get more minorities and women as Trustees, 3) get people who were dedicated to the university, 4) make sure the people who served had not done so for a long time. To this Honeycutt pointed out that Jones was dedicated, he had served for only two years as Chairman of the Board, that he was from Raleigh and that of the new members of the Board, none were black or women. Honeycutt shot Dees’ answer so full of holes that it no doubt would whistle when the wind blows. Jones, who had done an outstanding job as chairman of the ECU Board, was just another med school casualty--whether Dees cares to admit it or not. The meeting in which Jones’ reappointment came up came right after the North Carolina General Assembly had appropriated the funds for the ECU med school--a med school that the UNC group had fought for so long. In light of the fact that the UNC group had fought the med school so long, but that ECU iorces had still succeeded in getting the medical facility, the UNC Board had to show that it still could flex a little muscle over its member school in Greenville And, failing to reappoint Jones was the most handy way to show who was still boss. So, despite the interest and dedication that Jones had shown for the university since being on the Board, despite the continued good’ he could do for the school, the UNC Board, in all its infinite wisdom, failed to reappoint Jones. Dees can list all the objectives he wants when explaining the failure of the Board to reappoint Jones But, Jones was simply another ECU med school casualty. “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a govemment without newspapers, or newspapers without government, | should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” Editor-in-Chief--Mike Taylor Managing Editor--Tom Tozer Business Manager-- Teresa Whisenant Production Manager- Sydney Green Advertising Manaqer--Mike Thompson News Editor-- -Jim Elliott Entertainment Editor--Brandon Tise Features Editor--Jim Dodson Sports Editor--John Evans Thomas Jefferson Fountainhead is the student newspaper of East Carolina University sponsored by the Student Government Association of ECU and appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the school year.

Greeks deserve thanks Homecoming week began last Sunday, officially but the real heart of the festivities will begin Thursday and run through Saturday night. There have been several events staged so far for Homecoming and all have drawn good size crowds. The high point of the week so far, at least as far as most male students are concerned, was the Linda Ronstadt concert held Tuesday night. Friday nights lke and Tina Turner concert is expected to be close to a sellout and then the parade Saturday is expected to draw a large crowd. The game Saturday afternoon with Western Carolina and the line-up of bands for Saturday night will also create a lot more student interest. The all time low for interest in the ECU event came several years ago when there was not even a Homecoming parade. But since then renewed interest has been shown in Homecoming by both the student body and the administration and the result is this year’s event--one of the school’s best ever. Of course having a variety packed Homecoming line-up does not just happen. Hundreds of ‘“student-hours” go into the event. Planning beg..n soon after the homecoming in 1974. This just did not happen. And, a lot of the credit--about 95 percent of the credit--must go to Greeks on campus. Fraternities and sororities catch a lot of flack from everybody on campus. Very few times do they get the credit they deserve. Homecoming is a good case in point. Without the work of the Greeks, Homecoming would be a big flop. The Greeks are in charge of the parade, sponsor most of the floats for the parade, run the Homecoming queen contest, and to do most of the house decorations. So for once let’s give credit where credit is due--the Greeks at ECU deserve thanks from everyone for helping make Homecoming what it is. f the have ar as held a}iout game urday when t has ation just } not le . r} e when th 8 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 7, NO. 11/16 OCTOBER 1975 Pub Board includes Minority publications e Publications Board has approved aws for the year that '!ncludes ampus minority publication se by-laws have been sent to the SGA and must be accepted by that body before final approval is assured.

The Catamounts start has head soach Bob Waters puzzled ‘|!can't put my finger on what is the matter exactly,’ said Waters. We fell flat on our bottoms last week. We didn’t seem to know what we were doing and we haven't. I'm just hoping we improve, but | think we've got too many youngsters playing Last season week Western Carolina was defeated by Wofford, 23-14, after it appeared they were on the way back froma disappointing start WCU opened up by losing to Toledo and East Tennessee State team, but back to beat Murray State and terian In impressive fashion the a poor came Presby next two weeks Last week, however, the Catamounts fell “a giant step backwards” and Waters hopes they won't continue to regress against ECU this weekend. If it does Waters saying it could be a repeat performance of the last time the two teams me when ECU won in 1963's Homecoming contest, 50-0 ‘Last time we played them, there were a lot of happy people in Greenville,” said Waters. “If we play like we did last Saturday a lot of East Carolina fans will thoroughly enjoy themselves.” Despite what Waters has been saying concerning this weekend's game, the ECU coaching staff is approaching the Catamounts cautiously, respecting them as a team with a lot of talent The scouting report calls Western, ‘the. quickest team ECU's played this year.” On offense, the Cats operate out of a Pro-| and like to pass. This year, however, the passing game has been inconsistent. When they don't pass, the Cats run the ball and they have two good ball carriers in tailback Darrell Lipford (no. 28) and fullback Herb Cole (no. 24). Lipford and Cole are both averaging 5.4 yards a carry. Lipford has gained 597 yards on the ground this year, including a record-set- ting 231 yard day against Presbyterian, and Cole has carried for 340 yards How effectively, ECU controls the WCU running attack will have a bearing on how the game goes, since they can’t key on one back The player all the pro scouts have been watching, though, is tight end Mike Green, (no. 87). At 6-3, 238 pounds, Green is the most imposing figure on the field when Western has the ball. Whether or not he makes All-American could depend on the type of season the Cats have sports Basketball practice starts By JOHN EVANS Spor's Editor thumping sound of the roundball hardwood floors began yesterday at all schools as the first NCAA regulation practice eight conference ifficial day of began for basketball r approximately six weeks, it will be veat da more sweat in heated practice and d as the teams ready for their 3eason Openers on Nov. 29tr ECU will open its season on the 29th when it travels to play the University of Maryland College Park, Maryland.

This is the true mark of a successful team. We'll just have to see what happens.” Last year, the Pirates used a run-and-shoot style of play, called the Celtic Influence” to turn out a 19-9 record and a trip to the NCIT in Louisville, Ky Despite a taller team in 1975-76, Patton doesn't plan to change the method of attack any We'll be doing the same thing as last year and everybody knows what it will be We'll be pressing on one end and running on the other end ‘All our people fit into this style of play and that’s what we'll be doing Leading the Pirates will be Larry Hunt, who made All-Conference was a sophomore last year but may be switched to forward That all depends on how quickly freshman Tyrone Edwards develops at the center spot. According to Patton, if Edwards comes along quickly, Hunt could be moved outside, with either Wade Henkel, Earl Garner or Al Edwards The back court finds Buzzy Braman and Reggie Lee returning, joined by freshman Louis Crosby and Billy Dineen We've got plenty of experience on the squad and a lot of good freshman prospects.
