You may issue cards at your discretion. However, if convenient, and if the student has worked out a schedule which does not conflict, it would assist the student in working out his schedule if, in multiple section courses, you gave him the hour he requested. Do not try to change any information on the card by writing on card. Any changes must be authorized and made by Registrar... The above quote is taken directly from a page of guidelines given to professors who worked during registration last week handing out class cards. Several parts of the above listed items make for some interesting reading--at least as far as the students are concerned. Apparently all the garbage going around concerning student riqht does not apply to picking your own class schedule and for that matter just what curriculum you will major in at this university. For, as the first sentence in item three explains, the student does not have an “inherent” right to pick his classes or schedule. Please note students, if it is “convenient’--the note does not Say who it is supposed to be convenient for—probably the professor and not the student----then it is alright for the student to get the cards they request----but only if it is convenient. Of all the garbage we have read lately, this little item has to take the cake. Maybe we were wrong but we always thought that when you paid your money---tuition--you could take about any course you wanted to----whether it was convenient to anybody or not. Of course we realize there are constraints to this taking any course you want. A senior can’t take a freshman level course, without permission, and a social work major could not take an advanced business course. We understand there are certain course prerequisites that must be followed. But, these are procedural matters that all students understand. What we think most students will fail to understand is why the Registrars office, which runs registration and is the think tank that turned out this aforementioned memo, would send out such a set of directives to personnel handling registration. When a student hands the money across the counter at Spillman at the start of every quarter we think he buys the “inherent” right to take any course he may choose, within the recognized boundaries. The memo writer in administration who cranked out this beauty should remember that students at this university are not here at his pleasure, his convenience...that he is here at their pleasure and their convenience. And, if he does not think that then he should consider what ECU would be tomorrow if all 11,000 plus students decided to drop out. Then the need for this administrator, and his “inherent rights convenience memo” would be out in the literal cold. At the very least the Registrar should hire a professional PR man to write memos since the wording in this one is nothing but inflammatory. But, we see in this something worse than just a slip of the typewriter in preparing the registration guidelines. For more than likely, there are quite a few people in high places that support the convenience, no inherent right thesis. And that causes more worry than just a poorly written memo. We think students have an inherent right to pick the courses they desire. And, quite frankly, we aon't give a damn who it might inconvenience. YoU WANT TO BE A WHAT WHEN You Grow uf F??

Although he is certainly on guard he can hardly fight the battle alone and expect a victory to go down in the pages of ECU history. Viewed in its totality, The Rebel, like any literary magazine, is an opportunity for the interpretation of life and existence. A creative work of any nature communicates only if the projected matter of its contents evokes response. Unless a work produces rapport between eye and mind in the form. of contemplation, analysis, and criticism, that work has indeed failed in purpose. Erroneously The Rebel has been viewed as a mere marriage of English and Art attended only by the individuals of those university departments. Somehow those who might hold this myopic misconception have failed to understand the essence of any literary magazine’s Last chance to register To Fountainhead : For many students, the Christmas vacation will be the last chance to register to vote in a referendum of vital importance to all students in the UNC System. On March 23, the same day as the presidential primary election, there will be a referendum on a bond issue for the University. The deadline to register for this election is Feb. 23, 1976, but many students probably will not get to go home between Christmas and that date. On behalf of the Campaign for Student Voters, a bipartisan group organized by the North Carolina Student Legislature and other statewide student organizations, | would like to ask you to publish in your newspaper, before Christmas vacation, an appeal to students io register to vote wnile they are at home for Christmas. in some university towns, of course, many students register on campus, but others choose to register at home; and some counties do not allow students to register at all. In any case | urge you and your newspaper to help make the students at your university aware of the upcoming election, referendum, and registration deadline. Many thanks. Yours very truly, Bruce M. Tindall Public Information Director N.C. Student Legislature (Phone 919-942-8143) scope. Art is not exclusively for Art majors and literature for English majors; the substance of art and literature comes from many diverse fields of knowledge and experience. The Rebel is not a narrow product and is open to contributors of al! areas. Even a brief glimpse of the biographical sketches of the writers featured in the most recent issue of The Rebel will reveal that approximately a third of the literary contributors were not English majors In regard to student interest in the publication, | think that many of those who fail to appreciate The Rebel do so because they do not know how to appreciate the elevated and the artistic. For example, it is distressing to find individuals with closed minds who scowl sourly when the word “poetry” is mentioned. Unfortunately such persons are repeiled by the arts because they have been mentally polluted by ignorance of the subject; they often fail to see academic arts as a great adventure because they grow up believing that education is solely a “stiff” institution. In the same respect they also fail to realize that life’s experiences can be enriched by art and literature and vice versa. With attitudes such as this it is little wonder why many students discard the sublime. At the same time art of literature expressing very free, uninhibited attitudes should not be frowned upon as tasteless garbage simply because a picture on a page might raise a few Student has pity for SGA To Fountainhead : I’m not concerned with the fate of the publications this year. | feel this is the way most students and legislators feel. | really pity the legislators. When they can't see a real need, then everyone is affected. Why would something like budget problerns arise? All the legislators did was increase last year's budget. All the legislators did was to keep telling us this. The legislators kept telling us. Why were they telling us? One of the reasons the SGA has such a large budget would be the money not spent. They have numerous other organizations to fund. | don’t disagree. | don't think anyone would deny it. In fact | don’t think previous graduates will deny that fact. Previous graduates should be glad the SGA hasn't spent their money, for some fly-by-night organization. | don’t think the graduates would deny there isn’t any loyalty anymore. The administration in power didn’t trust organizations to spend the corresponding student fees. | don’t think the SGA would deny their fees are too large. All they did was increase last years budget for publications. How is this money used? By this years consensus, the majority of the budget isn’t being spent too wisely. This is very apparent. The publications bring the national, state, and local publicity the school needs for that elusive status symbol. The company that printed the yearbook is using last years book as a sample copy for their salesmen. It might even win an award! The Buccaneer didn't ask for more money. The legislators were well informed of this. The newspaper only asked for more money. The newspaper only increased their workioad by half, not their staff. Increased advertising would only pay for the full-time secretary they asked for. The Rebel only asked for two magazines. They were given one. The SGA by-laws only quarantee them three. A few years ago The Rebel was nationally recognized with only three and a staff of twenty. The Rebel only represents our nationally recognized Art Department. The Rebel only represents our humble English Department. | don’t think anyone would deny there isn’t any loyalty anymore. Why should the students have their money channeled into these fly-by-night organizations-The Rebel, The Fountain- head and The Buccaneer? The SGA keeps repeating they didn’t do anything wrong. All the publications did was ask for more money. The students are the only ones who can ask their legislators to be responsible. They are only our representatives. The legislators can see that our fees are reduced or returned to us at the end of the year. The SGA can see to it that any fly-by-night organization yar A majority of student fees doesn't interfere with the school’s status seeking interest group-We just won't have any. I'm not concerned about the fate of the publications. I’m not going to change my vote-| don’t have one. I’m only going to be a typical student and continue to support my apathy. Apathetically yours, Patrick M. Flynn Publications Board Secretary P.S. | pity those who don't believe in anything. P.S.S. | demand a recount now that emotions have settled down, that is, if we have one sensible legislator. P.S.S.S. IF the recount isn’t taken on the three amendments, and the bill itself, | demand a student referendum. | protest the way the elections were run. | would also like the names of this years candidate put on this referendum. We could kill two birds with one stone, but | forgot the SGA doesn't believe in the death penaity eyebrows or piece of literature might contain a few gutsy words forbidden by a clean-mouthed society. Sadly, The Rebel as an extension of the academic arts is susceptible to rejection because of viewpoints ranging from cultural ignor ance to moral infatuation As a past contributor to The Rebel | realize that | stand on quaking grounds of dissent. However, | feel that to conclude that The Rebel is on the decline is a severe bigoted insult to the integrity of Mr. Arrington and Mr. Hunt. Under the very capable editorship of these individuals the quality of The Rebel has come a long way, and | believe the magazine has shown a maturation Therefore, in my opinion any threat to either abort or abolish The Rebel is a threat to undermine creative intellect and deny self expression. If the publication is financially harassed to the point of extinction, does it really have a fair chance to prove its worth? Teresa Speight Eulogy notice cruei joke To Fountainhead An extremely cruel joke was played on the students at ECU. We are speaking of the “Eulogy Planned” in the December fourth issue of Fountainhead. This childish and immature prank was perpetrated by the Omega Psi Phi"frater- nity” which makes one wonder whether or not such a “fraternity” belongs on ECU's campus. It must take a very sick mind to think of such a morbid prank Why did peopie believe it? Because Marion did pass out - more than likely from the apparent starvation and exposure caused by the demands made on him when he went through the Q's initiation. This initiation is deemed necessary by the Omegas in order to prove one’s “manhood” Only a hypocrite could cail the Q's a real fraternity because fraternities are supposediy based on brotherhood, and a person does not ordinarily ask his brother to “play dead”. Unfortunately, the Fountainhead is partially responsible for the widespread belief that Marion Barnes was dead by printing the eulogy announcement Sincerely, Susan Parrish 427 Cotten Hall Susan Young 429 Cotten Hall Jennie Poot 383 Cotten Hail FOUNTAINHEAD invites all readers to ex- press their opinions in the Forum.

Afterwards, he recommended that the boycott be called off. The legislature debated the issue almost 30 minutes, and then concurred with Sullivan's recommendation Although the first decision to boycott the downtown merchants was controver- sial and unpopular Sullivan said The Select Committee thought it was the best way for students to be heard.

Phelps, about the archaeological field school at Moratock Park in Williamston, was presented to the Southeast Archaeological Conference at a sym posium held at the University of Florida in Gainesville, The universities attending were ECU, Univ. of Florida, Florida St., and Univ. of Alabama. Phelps was unable to attend the symposium. The purpose of the symposium was to compare notes from each of the universities’ archaeology field schools. Items discussed were facilities, student enrollment, research problems, actual research sites, and finding more efficient means to train students “The field school at Moratock Park is a permanent research center used year round at practically no cost to ECU,” said Phelps “Percy Price from the Martin County Economic Development Commission invited East Carolina to teach its students at the Park. The Park is a cultural center still under construction on the Roanoke River. “Three acres of the park are set aside to the field school. Housing and a laboratory are included free,” said Phelps. “The program is open to about 20 students during the first summer school session. “It is a five week program designed to train the students in locating, recovering, and processing artifacts. The school will be advertised nationwide for the first time this year even though local students are given preference. “The school is one of the best centers on the east coast. Over 150 pre-historic sites have been located in the Roanoke-Chowan Region and three historic sites have been studied.” The areas studied are included in about 50 miles of the Roanoke River Valley, and the Chowan River Valley Knowledge is being gained about Martin, Bertie, Halifax, Northampton, Washing- ton, Chowan, and Hertford counties. Fort Branch, in Hamilton, in Martin Co. is being excavated, and will be reconstructed for the park. The park will have a boat to take tourists to the various sites on the Roanoke River Jordans Landins ia a pre-historic site dating back 1,000 - 1,500 A.D. it is a complete Tuscarora village located in Bertie County. Phelps said that this is the third summer of work at the stie. The archaeology field school is going to begin its sixth summer of operation this summer. It will be run by Dr Kenneth L. Brown who is in his first year as associate professor at ECU The advantage the East Carolina archaeology field school has over others ECU real estaters donate money The ECU Chapter of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers has given 1,000 dollars to the ECU School of Business for scholarships awards to students interested in careers in the real estate profession. Formal presentation of the funds was made by H.W. Wheless, owner of Wheless Real Estate Services here, and chairman of the chapter's scholarship committee, and Joe Hayes, staff appraiser with the N.C. Dept. of Transportation. Hayes and George West of Louisburg are members of the chapter's scholarship committee. Accepting the funds, ECU School of Business Dean James Bearden noted that ECU real estate students “will be the initial beneficiaries” of the award, but that the real estate profession will ultimately benefit from the gift. “We are fortunate to have organi- zations such as the Society of Real Estate Appraisers who are sufficiently interested in our program to provide special financial support in futherance of our undertaking,” he said. Dr. Bearden said several scholarship recipients will be selected within a few weeks. Founded in 1935, the Society of Real Estate Appraisers now has 18,000 members in 184 chapters throughout the U.S. and Canada. Members include full-time professional real estate ap- praisers and analysts and trainees of appraisal programs.

Yet the role of the evaluator may soon be reversed An increasing number of students argue that fair play dictates they be given a chance to rate their teachers. As a result, several colleges across the country are taking a new look at faculty evaluations by students “The interest is generated by a consumer's viewpoint,” says Chuck Leer, author of a national report on faculty evaluation® sponsored by the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Students purchase their education, and like any other consumer group, feel they have the right to know as much as possible about what they’re spending their money on For the most part, faculty evaluations are based on student questionnaires which are distributed in each classroom Students are asked such questions as Does your professor encourage student participation and discussion?” and “How well does your professor make the course material understandable? Survey results are then given to the faculty members, who may use their feedback as a means for improving their teaching methods or are placed in faculty permanent files and reviewed by the administration when pay raises or tenure reviews me up yontroversy over faculty evaluations jally erupts when students attempt to tabulate and publish the statistical ts of the surveys in a course and 5} guide students Students at the University of Oregon at Eugene, for instance, are lobbying hard for the publication of faculty evaluations. Although the university senate passed a_ resolution requiring mandatory faculty evaluations recently by students, it has yet to give the go ahead for a faculty guidebook. “!’m not sure it’s fair to the professors to have student opinion based on transcripts made public,” said University President William Boyd. “Il have reservations about the invasion of privacy.” This reluctance does not sit well with the student government. “The adminis- tration is paid by students through tuition and by the public through tax dollars,” countered the student body president, Jim Bernau. The administra- tion has a responsibility to provide “that valuable information about teaching to students.” Another evaluation battle is in the works at the University of Arizona. Earlier this year, the administration switched its support of voluntary faculty evaluations to a requirement that all teachers interested in promotion show “docu- mented evidence” of their teaching ability, in the form of student-conducted evaluations In spite of administration and student pressure, however, the faculty senate has effectively squelched the mandate by refusing to decide on an appropriate evaluation form “Evaluations measure popularity, and teaching is not a popularity contest,” objected one professor. “i have little faith in students knowing whether or not a teacher knows his subject.” faculty are also deadlocked at St. Johns University in Jamaica, N.Y. where the student government has begun its first year of publishing a faculty and course guide Since the faculty evaluations are not mandatory, any professor can bow out of the evaluation process Students and The problem for the students publishing the course guide is that too many professors have refused to Gifts For All Occasions Largest Selection in CHINA CRYSTAL HRIIIM 29 \rlington Fesl, vere SILVER Ltth P hone 756-0919 ‘RESEARCH PAPERS THOUSANDS ON FILE Send for your up-to-date, 160-page, mail order catalog of 5,500 topics.

According to Chuch Leer of PIRG, students “aren't out to get the faculty.” He points to faculty evaluation processes at the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, the University of Illinois and Princeton, which have been in operation “for years without much friction.” . ’ f BREAKFAST SPECIAL!

At any rate, faculty fears of hypercritical student evaluations may be unfounded, according to a recent San Diego State University study. Students tend to be too soft-hearted or intimidated when they feel a negative evaluation may cost a professor his job, researchers found.

To a majority, it means vague legal reassurances that women may no longer be discriminated against on the basis of their sex. To an active minority, it means the decay of society and the family. Approved overwhelmingly by Con- gress in 1972, the ERA has since been bounced back and forth between the forces of women’s rights and the protectors of woman's traditional role in society. Women’s rights advocates won the first round when 13 states ratified the ERA in the first three weeks after Congress passed it. Now, three years later, the ERA is just four states short of the 38 necessary to become the 27th amendment to the Constitution. But the anti-ERA forces have gained strength since the first ERA surge and their lobbying efforts are paying off. Amendments to the New York and New Jersey state constitutions closely paralleling the federal ERA were defeated early in November. These victories have given the ERA opponents a new impetus to fight the ERA in state legislators, where they have begun to drive a rescind the ratifications New Jersey and New York state houses have already given the federal amendment. ERA foes claim that the amendment will leave the society open to immorality and a weakening of family ties. A chapter president of Operation Wake-Up, an anti-ERA organization, said she feared the “unisex movement” because “\ © are not a unisex society.” “It is the goal of many feminist groups to destroy the family unit,” she continued. “My husband is my support. The male has been made provider and protector. After the ERA we share equal responsibility.” Not only equal responsibility but a whole range of immoral repercussions of the amendment scare E®A opponents. The most commonly cited evils of the ERA include unisex bathrooms, co-ed sports teams, female draftees, homo- sexual marriages and repeal of alimony laws. One women, Phyllis Schlafly, has even devoted her career to stopping ERA since it was passed by Congress. Schlafly publishes her own regular magazine as an anti-ERA publication. Schlafly argued that the ERA only “pretends” to improve the status of women. Actually, she says, “It will take away the right of a young woman to be exempt from the draft, the right of a wife to be supported by her husband and to have her minor children supported by her husband.” And Schlafly also dislikes the way the federal government will get its “meddling fingers” into areas where it has never had jurisdiction before, such as marriage, divorce and child custody laws. Proponents of the ERA would just as soon have those meddling fingers regulating state laws. And as an ERA advocate pointed out, the ERA does not specify what laws will be enacted and which will be repealed. “When a law is restrictive, it will be struck from the books. If it is protective, it will be extended to include men.” Other than that, pro-ERA forces describe the effects of the ERA in generalities simply because no one knows how it will be interpreted by the RAZZ JAZZ RECORDS Georgetowne Shoppes Q< OFF ALL T- 752-8654 SHIRTS AS LONG AS THEY LAST!

Workers for the ERA claim “equal opportunities” and “constitutional pro- tection to women” will be the result of the ERA. Although the specific opportunities and protections are not spelled out by the amendment, ERA advocates like the way the burden of proof in discrimination cases will be shifted from the individual woman to the state Many ERA opponents believe that the ERA means more responsibilities but fewer rights for women. A representative in New York who argued against the ERA said that ci'*tom and law have already made American women the most privilegec people in history and the ERA could rrean a loss of some of those privileges. ERA proponents claim just the opposite, arguing that the ERA “is the only thing that protects the rights we have.’ Both sides are planning stronger lobbying efforts when legislatures reconvene in Janaury. “We are through with garden-variety politics,” a League of Women Voters official said. “We're going to run a hard political campaign.” So are the anti-ERA forces, w hich are already gearing up for supporting anti-ERA legislators in upcoming elections. We've got the momentum,” claims Schlafly. J NOWSERVING PIZZA ALONG A WITH EVERYTHING ELSE! S Free Iced Tea With Any Large Pizza! O ( Bring this ad !)

Pupils Lag On Test scores Headlines such as these are becoming more and more commonplace within the last few months as educators administrators and concerned parents try to solve the “mystery” of the continuing rop-off of SAT scores among high school seniors. The scores peaked in 1963 and, since then, have gradually Jeclined, averaging a drop-off of three points a year in verbal scores and two points mathematical scores The question is now arising, why did What was the underlying factor in all of this? No one seems to be able to point to any one definite reason, but here are some auses which are being discussed: too much television, lack of Concern among the scores drop? educators for the three R’s. a changing mix in the college-going population and the unrest among young people during the 1960's In comparing the figures of 1974 college-bound graduates to this years, the verbal scores fell from 444 to 434; mathematical scores slipped from 480 to 472. Studies show that boys outperform- ed girls on both sections- 437 to 431 on verbal and 495 to 449 on the mathematical. Until this year, however, boys’ scores have been dropping slightly more than those of girls The College Entrance Examination Board believes that one factor in the declining average is that students taking the test for the second time are no longer improving their scores as much as they once did. The mid-1950’s reports show that these “repeaters” used to gain about 35 points. By the mid-1960's this figure had dropped to 20 and it is now about 15 Mr Gene Owens, and ECU admissions officer, says that the drop-off is reflected in the scores of this year’s freshman class. The average score, according to Mr. Owens, was 840-850, which ts down about 12-13 points from last year The Schoiastic Aptitude Tests, first administered in 1926, were taken by one-third of this years graduating high school seniors. They made up roughly two-thirds of those who entered college this fall The verbal section of the test is designed to measure vocabulary and comprehension. The mathematical sec- tion is intended to test problem-solving ability Mr. Owens stated that, “The most siqnificant fiqure of the SAT, that we found, is that a student has a higher probability of success if they score 400 or better on the verbal section. The SAT verbal section is primarily a guage of a student's ability to read with speed and with comprehension. If a student cannot read well, then they are going to have trouble in coilege.” Given a hypothetical situation of two students, one with a high school transcript with grades averaging around B, but with an SAT score of 790 or 800, and another student with arades averaging around D, and an SAT score of 1250-1300, Mr. Owens believes that the student with higher grades and a low score would be accepied over the other. This judgment is based on the reasoning that the first student would have the proper background and would work more for their grades. The second student might have the ability, as reflected in their score, but they have not put out any sort of effort. Admittance to most colleges and universities in the United States is based on two things, usually: the high school transcript and the SAT score. At ECU, more emphasis is placed upon the high school record than the SAT score; “...the high school record...(is) a much more solid indicator of the type of work the student is capable of doing,” Mr. Owens believes. “There iS no exact minimum SAT score (for admitiance); it is strictly a relationship between the high school class rank and the SAT to give us a satisfactory predicted grade average.” Cigarette smoking, 1975 style; it’s a real drag During the past several years, a huge campaign has been launched against a minority to which | belong; the world’s igarette smokers.

At first, opposition to the habit was confined to a few well-distributed “no smoking’ signs The campaign grew and flourished to the point that | now get hassled by my friends about smoking, and that’s when they're visiting MY room. The situation’s disintegrated to the point where | have felt it necessary to resume the old habit of running to the ladies room for a cig. i've even had people there complain about my fumes.

The theatre now serves as a meeting place for talented people in Greenville who need a place to jam, to think, or to exchange ideas. There are a mixture of peopie who run the Roxy; they include students, dropouts and jood peuple with a common bond of ideas and energy. According to Bill (Shep) Sheppard, “It is a combination of energies that make Roxy what it is. We've had a few parties to raise money for rent and improvements, and now we're having the craft show. Eventually, we'll be able to paint the building, and with the help of Tom Lassiter, a horticulturist, we'll landscape the area. We hope, among other things, the town will take notice and help upgrade the neighborhood”. lf you wish to become acquainted with the Roxy Music, Arts, and Crafts Center, and its philosophy, there will be a Neighborhood Craft Show on Saturday, December 13, at the Roxy Music, Arts and Crafts Center. On hand will be musicians, along with a number of artists and craftsmen showing and selling their work. Some of the artists, and their crafts, include Eddie Smith and Jim Whalen, potters; Don and Ron Vick, jewelers; and Max Whitley, leathercraft. In the future the Roxy will be a center for poetry reading, film festivals, trade fairs and art-craft shows. Plans for the first theatrical production, “York”, by Bill Bong, are underway. The play is a study in fantasy about a man, York, who searches for peace.

It’s not usually much trouble...!'ve got a lot of head hassles and | don’t want to settie down.” Those are the words of a 17-year-old girl whose lifestyle, as she describes it, is not much more than “travel and survival.” She is one of 292 nameless “street people” in Berkeley whose lives have been probed in a study by two University of California researchers. The 80-page study, “Down and Out in Berkeley,” concludes that the “street people” in Berkeley—-and apparently in other college towns as well—are a more poverty-stricken breed than their “flower children” counterparts of the 1960s. The study was conducted by Henry Miller, associate professor of social welfare, and Jim Baumohl, a graduate student. They concluded that while the “dropouts” of a few years ago voluntarily dissociated themselves from the main- stream of society, many of the hangers-on in today’s college towns would be willing to rejoin the system if given the chance. However, most of them are overwhelmed with a_ feeling of hopelessness. “I’ve crashed in five or six places in the last two weeks, and the people here have been warmer, friendlier, crazier than any place else,” says a 19-year-old male street person in Berkeley. “But it’s getting to be a hard trip, just energy-wise, you know. | had a pack stolen and got busted for pan-handling.” The street people of 1975 do not look much different than their counterparts of the 1960s. Most have long hair, wear faded or torn jeans, and carry their possessions, if any, on their backs. In Berkeley, they perch themselves on the sidewalks of Telegraph Avenue, which borders the southern edge of the University of California campus. They spend their days panhandling for money or looking for someone who might offer them food and lodging for the night.

It is the citv where the Free Speech Movement was born in 1964, and where students clashed with police in 1969 while university buildings burned. Today, the Berkeley campus is quiet. Today's freshmen were second graders when the Free Speech Movement began, and they seem more interested in education than demonstration. True, political organizations like the Young Socialist Alliance and the Un'ted Farm Workers still distribute their literature in Sproul Plaza, the university's largest congregating point. But most students seem to be more interested in signing up for the activities of the Ski Club, or buying tickets to the latest film series. The street people, or the “Berkeley Beggars” as the focals cali them, sometimes seem out of step with the changing profile of the city. The Miller-Baumohl study found that al- though these hangers-on seem attracted to college towns, they are generally poorly educated. One-third of them are high school dropouts, and only 31 percent have attended college at all. About 86 percent of the street people are in their teens or early 20s, but their backgrounds are varied. “For some,” says the report, “there were serious family problems; for others, there may well have been real limitations in psychological and intellectual equip- age.” Less than half of those surveyed said their parents would permit them to return home, and only 6.5 percent expressed any interest in going back. Instead, they survive on a day-to-day basis, begging for the money to buy their next meal, or stealing it from local markets. Most reported that they wanted to work, and 77 percent stated they had been unsuccessful in constant attempts to find a job. Many view their futures with pessimism. “There seems to be a subliminal or barely articulated knowledge that ‘making it’ in America has become more fantasy than reality,” report the researchers However, more hope may exist for the people than even Many of the social rebels who walked the Streets of Berkeley and Haight-Ashbury in the 1960s have apparently assimilated back into society. oy VA street they realize That, at least, is the conclusion of Stephen Pittel, a bearded and bushy- haired psychologist who heads the Haiaht-Ashbury Research Project Pitteli has kept track of 250 “hippies whom he originally met and interviewed in-depth in 1967-68. And 40 percent of them are now back in the mainstream--in jobs or in college, and off drugs. Of the remainder, less than one-third are still living on the street. The other 28 percent have made at least a semi-reentry into society, living in communes and making a living by selling their self-made items like crafts. According to Pittel, many of those who reentered the system are using their street experiences in a constructive way One girl, who earned a master's degree before fleeing to Haight-Ashbury, is now writing a novel about her life on the streets. invites to Grocncilies fincs!

Millions American women find the easy, +fire birth control pill the long-await- answer to ail their contraceptive iplaints. 3ut in the past few years, the piil’s itation for unpleasant side effects and xected health hazards has been Ng more college women back to the alternatives--the diaphragm, the IUD condoms. Xt most university health services, the is still the most frequently requested faceptive but increases have been in requests for other methods. In y cases, women are encouraged by ege physicians to consider the Natives because of a shortage of iabie information about the pill’s -range effects. One woman studying dill at Columbia University has called pill a “grand and unprecendented ogical experiment.” ‘It’s amazing” how many women take bili because everybody else does, Dr. ison Fee, gynecologist at iowa State fersity said. But “when you give a ale of this age group (college) a mt combination of synthetic hor- 'es, it can’t do any good,” Fee added. The synthetic harmones, estrogen and jyestin, are not “natural” hormones 1 the body produces anyway, yrding to New York gynecologists did Speert. “It was not the honest to do to call these hormones Speert ied. “They should be given chemical res like those they use in the oleum industry, of which they are e deserving.” ‘A lot of women who wouldn't want be taking some petroleum-type mical into their bodies every day, are ing to take something that sounds as igh their bodies are producing it,” he 1. "‘\ntensive research on the pill has juced suspected links with several Jrable diseases including cancer, diabetes, strokes and heart disease. But advocates of the pill insist that the studies have been inconclusive so far and point to their own statistics which give the pill a fairly clean bill of health. Unfortunately, those studies have only been underway since the pill’s American debut only 16 years ago and the long-range effects are still unknown. An assistant professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School said the studies done in the early sixties which approved of the hormone drug were based on a very small nurnber (100-200) of persons who had been taking the pill for a year or more. The consumers of the pil! haven't been getting much advice on the hazards and side effects from either the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which reguiates the pill or the manufacturers themselves. lowa gynecologist Fee pointed out that pill manufacturers are very careful to downplay the hazards of birth control pills in their promotional literature. The only harmful effect most of them mention is biood clots. Even if a student is aware of the possible side effects, her attitude is often “that could never happen to me,” Fee said. But according to the coordinator of gynecological services at the University of Pennsylvania, more women there are being scared away from the pill by reports of weight gain, emotional stress and bleeding disturbances. Other possible side effects of the pill range from skin problems to migraine headaches to rashes, fatigue, depression and cramps. And recently even the FDA admitted that the pill might make some women more susceptible to venereal disease. Although the FDA hedged on requiring manufacturers to warn women of a possible pill - VD like, they did order them to say on the warning label that the pill would do nothing to prevent or treat venereal disease.

Instructors at the University of California have reported that students in their freshman English classes are not proficient in even the fundamentals of grammar. The remedial English or Subject A supervisor argued that the “illiteracy” was a “cultural problem, as students in an electronic society have little chance to acquire reading-writing skills.” According to the director of academic programs at UCLA, the television society is to blame for less educated college students. “Students today are more verbal,” he said. “They don’t read. They don't have the written skills they once did. They're TV educated.” But a recent report in the Christian Science Monitor holds the whole college flie C Cr admission several years ago when By FR. competition for college space EC fiercer.

A mass lobbying effort by women had moved the General Assembly to pass a new law which allowed women to serve on school boards The second victory, more far-reaching than the first, came in 1920 with the passage of the Equal Suffrage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Mrs. Cotten, like other women suffragists, optimistically believed that with the right to vote, other inquities suffered by women would rapidly vanish, automatically opening up new opportun- ities in business, the professions, politics and government, education and other phases of public life This eariy belief has been proven overly hopeful. Widespread sex discrimi- nation and what Sallie Cotten called ‘the habit of sex-submission” on the part of women themselves continue to bar women from achieving their actual potential in society. Another prominent eastern North Carolina suffragist, Johnetta Webb Spilman, recalls that one of Mrs Cotten’s most intense interests was vocational education for young people of both sexes “| had a small business school in my home then,” said Mrs. Spillman, “and Mrs. Cotten often expressed pleasure that these young people were being trained for work. She believed thai women should have marketable SKilis aiiu be able to survive independently.” Few women in the early 1900s received training for gainful employment, and Mrs. Cotten deplored the fact that many widows were left penniless upon the death of their husbands, usually with children to support, Mrs. Spilman said aspect of limited distressed Mrs. This practical education for women Cotten as much as her realization that wer stly & OFFER GOOD ner!

ECU never came closer than six points the rest of the game The convincing loss at the hands of VMI, gave ECU its third straight loss of the year, all by a total of 96 points. Despite this figure, ECU coach Dave Patton wasn’t really worried about the loss I'm not worried about the loss tonight,” said Patton. “Not only did we play in one of the toughest places in the country, | saw things out there the players have not done all year. | saw what I’ve been hoping to see and that was Our guys hustling. With this in my mind, | don’t think it will be long before we put it all together. It will be only a matter of time.” Duke shows So far in this short 1975-1976 basketball season, Duke University has been a surprise, even to Blue Devil coach Bill Foster. “l've been real pleased with the hustle the team has shown so far this year,” said Foster. “We are much better this year then we were last year.” Last year, Foster led the Blue Devils to a 13-13 record in his first year as coach, an improvement of three games over the year before. Despite this record, and Fost 221 career wins, the Devils were picked to finish near the bottom of the ACC this year by the coaches and sportswriters, primarily due to the loss of three starters In its first three games, however, Duke has looked like anything but an also ran, having routed Johns Hopkins 103-72 and nipped Virginia 81-79 for a 2-1 record. The Devils’ only loss came to the nationally-ranked Tennessee Volunteers In that game, the Devils extended the Vols’ to the final moments of the game before falling by an 86-80 score It has been a running type of game that Foster has used at Duke, the same type of offense the Pirates have seen in their first three games, which they have lost by scores of 127-84, 117-81 and 73-56 We'll continue to use the running game and multiple defenses this year, as long as we can get the rebounding Our Patton might have been right. Despite the score, ECU was beat by a good VMI team which was supported by a boisterous Keydet crowd of 2,200, near capacity for the VMI Fieldhouse, ‘which: is Known as “the Pit”. It was classic zone pressing and hard-nose ball-hawking that the Keydets used to force the Pirates into 26 a DAVE MONTGOMERY [left and JOHN KROVIC [right] were the individual leaders for Dave Montgomery and John Krovic led the VMI offense, while it was a total effort on defense. Montgomery was the only Keydet of effectiveness off the boards, with 11, and added 16 points on 8 of 11 shots, most of them off his rebounds. Krovic ended as the game's high scorer with 17 points and his outside a “th. \ sem. the VMI Keydets in Saturday's 73-56 win over ECU. Montgonery had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Krovic added 17 points to lead the Keydets to victory in the first conference game for both teams. turnovers, which offset a 35-25 ECU rebound advantage. The Keydets also used a 52 percent shooting night to can five more field goals than the visitors, despite the Pirates’ 58-56 shot advantage. defense has aiso improved over last year.” The team leader is 6-9 senior co-captain Willie Hodge. Hodge was shifted from forward to center this year, to replace the graduated Bob Fleischer, and so far he has produced. He is the team leader in scoring and rebounding. Hodge is averaging 24.3 points and 8.3 rebounds a game in the center spot, better statistics than Fleischer compiled at the spot last year. Against Tennes °e, Hodge scored 29 points. The other senior starter for the Dukes this season is 6-5 forward George Moses. Although he has not been scoring a lot of points, Moses has been a definite attribute to the team with his ball-hawking defense. The rest of the Devils’ starting five is averaging around 37 points a game. The backcourt leader is Tates Armstrong. Armstrong is averaging just over 15 points a game, and his freshman sidekick Jim Sparnarkel is scoring almost 12 points a game. The starting team is completed with 6-7 Mark Crow at forward next to Moses. Crow is averaging nine points a game The Tennessee game showed that the Blue Devils could stay on the court with nationally-ranked competition and give them a game, which is something the 0-3 Pirates of East Carolina haven't done in games with Maryland and North Carolina State shooting threat kept ECU off Mont- gomery and forward Ron Carter. This opened the inside path to the basket. Ironically, it was ECU's failure to gain the inside route which probably cost them the game. improvement in first games ECU has some hope from the improved play of freshman Louis Crosby and injured center Larry Hunt. Crosby and Hunt both started out slow against Maryland, but have played much better, against State and VMI. The leading Pirate scorer is guard Reggie Lee. Lee is averaging 13.3 points a game after a disappointing game against VMI, where he tallied just five points. Two other Pirates, Hunt and captain Al Edwards, are averaging just over 10 points a game. East Carolina has averaged 38 rebounds a game and scored 77 points a game, but the defense has been poor Hunt leads the Pirates with eight rebounds a game and sophomore Wade Henkel, despite some lackluster shoot- ing, has dveraged seven rebounds a game. Against Maryland and _ State, freshman Tyrone Edwards was im- pressive, but he played little against VMI because of foul trouble and an inability to get untracked. lf East Carolina expects to play with Duke its defense must get better and its shooting (39.1 at Maryland and 44.8 at VMI) needs to improve. This is the last leg of the Pirates’ suicide opening four-game road schedule and it would be nice if the Pirate team could return home Saturday with at least Jne win in the four games. Duke just doesn’t seem to be the team for ECU to beat, though.

This writer took to task the project of checking to see which teams do, and which ams do not, play full 14-game schedules within the conference. | found out, but Asn’t really surprised, that only East Carolina and Richmond play full 14 game slates athin the conference, and are the only conference teams to have done so every year ce the leage was expanded to eight teams in 1972. !n addition, there has never en a conference basketball champion who has played a full league schedule since B modern day inception of the conference in 1954. § Most layman sports fans will probably write this off as pure coincidence and trivia, t there is more to it than that.

Of course, it is true that the league’s NCAA representative and champion is #termined by the results of the conference championship tournament, and not the gular seasons standings. But with the new format of conference tournament play, ereby the league's top four finishers host the first-round playoff games, the league Hular-season standings is still important. It is therefore possible for a team to gain advantage by scheduling certain teams at home and not playing them on the road. Furman may enjoy an advantage this year with its 12 game schedule which finds e Paladins playing two of the league’s better teams, VMi and Davidson, only at me, and William and Mary once. Furman does play Davidson twice, but the “home” ntest for Davidson is to be played in Charlotte, hardiy a pro-Davidson site when rman is involved. The other conference schools ai! play Davidson in the Wildcats’ hnston Gym, which is respected as probably the ‘toughest place for an opposing Am to play in the conference. Some would argue for the VMI Keydets’ home court, “the Pit”, and Furman doesn’t by here either. So, the defending champion Paladins are aided this year by not ing to play at either of the two toughest home courts in the league While ECU and Richmond play a full schedule of games, and they are the ference co-favorites, Davidson plays just ten games, six of them at home, and lliam and Mary has scheduled 11 league games, six at home. The remainder of the ams have 12 conference games scheduled, with the Citadel playing 13 games. Are East Carolina and Richmond at a disadvantage then, playing a complete 14 e set? Past finishes would seem to support this, since it is hard to go through a ole season without losing one or two games and the less games a team plays, the ss chance it has to lose. A part of the answer to this problem could be decided this weekend when hmond plays at VMI. Viewing VMI in action last week, and watching Richmond's py so far this year, these two teams seem the ones to beat right now and the ntest in the ancient Lexington gym could jostle the conference race, even this early the season. But, there shouldn’t have to be a dispute over scheduling within the conference. e league authorities could solve the problem by simply requiring every team to play league games, or every league opponent on a home-and-home basis. This is the hy most every conference in America operates. But, then, the Southern Conference like no other conference in the nation.

FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL.7, NO. 21/9 DECEMBER 1975 2 3 By SAM ROGERS Probably no one anticipated the opening of the 1975-76 wrestling season longer than Phil Mueller. And, no one has jumped off to a more impressive start in the Pirates’ three tournaments this year than the 5-10 native of Eden, N.C. Mueller transferred to East Carolina last year from the University of _ Wisconsin at Stevens Point where he was one of the top wrestlers in the country in the 158 pound weight class. As a freshman, he finished fourth in the NAIA championships and was the runnerup at 158 during his sophomore year. But after transferring, he was forced to sit out the 1974-75 season although he did show occasional flashes of brillance last season, winning two tournament titles wrestling unattached to any team. So the 1975-76 season finally rolled around and Mueller was ready to go. He took second place at 167 in the Neptune invitational and was runnerup in the Monarch Open. And then put together his most impressive performance of the season two weeks ago, pinning four straight opponents en route to the championship in the 167 pound weight class in the North Carolina Invitational Tournament. He was voted the Outstanding Wrestler in the tournament and now carries the distinction of being known as “The Number One Wrestler in North Carolina.” “| probably never wrestled better in my life than | did in that tournament,” said Mueller. “It sure has bolstered my confidence. | just hope | can stay heaithy and continue to wrestle as well as | have CLIFF‘S Open 4:30-9:00 Mon-Sat 2 miles east on highway 264 Mueller fills wrestling gap been during the first part of the season.’ Mueller’s secret to such a fast start this year? “Hard work and plenty of it, claims Mueller. “The guys in practice like Mike Radford and Ron Whitcomb really make you work hard. | consider Mike and Ron and some of the other guys on the team as good as any wrestlers in the country. You're only going to be as good as your competition in practice is.” Although Mueller has two runnerup finishes, one title and a fine 10-2 overall record this year, he was somewhat disappointed with his performance in the Neptune invitational Tourney earlier in the year. “lve always been an offensive wrestler and | was wrestling very defensively in that tournament,” explain- ed Mueller. “I was letting my opponent make all the moves which was the main reason | wasn’t doing that well. Then again, since | had sat out an entire year | had also lost a lot of my competiive edge which takes times to get back. “But everything has started to come back and winning the Outstanding Wrestler Award at the N.C. Invitational sure has given me plenty of confidence. It sure has put me in a better frame of mind and | know I'll be ready to go this weekend in our big quad meet.” The Pirates face nationally ranked teams Lehigh and Oregon State, along with Indiana State Friday and Saturday in a quadrangular meet in Bethlehem, Pa. “How we come out in this meet will give the team a good idea of how we stack up with the top teams in the nation and just how good we really are,” said Mueller. “The whole team is psyched for this one. | just hope we can go up there and give a good account of ourselves.” POP Sf 6 LA SSP SS PLS LFS fF 4 a SS SD Sf Seafood House and Oyster Bar (out 10th Street) MUFFLERS BATTERIES BALANCING coS Gln, rem fin TIRES WHEN YOUR CAR NEEDS ALIGNMENT TIRE TRUING GENERAL REPAIR REMEMBER US FIRST —_—____——, (maven vee cHamad )(nmemecon oomres (masrer crane ) ( aarnamamcane } n Fron we Phone 736-5244 320 W.
