It is a key to responsible government that the people who elect officials Know just who is running their government. And. in the case of the student government and the executive branch government at ECU that question of “Who's in charge here” is becoming more and more appropriate as time goes by. ‘i To be sure, the executive is a leader, at jleast in name. One that was elected by a vote of the student body last Spring. it was the will of the student body then that this person should demonstrate the power and ability of leadership over the next 12 months. But, in the last few months it has become increasingly clear to students who view the workings of the executive branch up close day-in and day-out that the man elected to lead is taking more and more a back seat in the operations of the student government. And, in the place of the man elected, the role of the SGA president is being assumed, more and more everyday, by an appointed official...not an elected official but an appointed official. This appointed official, who has the title of Assistant to the President, or something like that, has assumed a greater role in the running of the student government association during the last few months. That position of power and influence was increased ten fold when the SGA vice-president took a leave of absence. And, instead of holding elections to name a new VP, the president simply turned over the powers of the VP office to his assistant---the appointed official. Since gaining the new position the appointed official has known no bounds to his wheeling and dealing in the operations of the student government. We are sure he will seek the post of president this Spring, and at least then he will hold the position in name-he already holds that position in reality around the SGA office. Hopefully the person tapped to serve as president will get a better grip on his office before some appointed official steals it from under his nose. And, if he is not going to get a better hold on the office, then maybe he should step down as the VP did--then there would be absolutely no doubt about “Who's in charge here”. Until either one of these options is taken one must still wonder just who does run the show over on the second floor of Mendenhall. “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government 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-- Jimmy Williams Advertising Manager--Mike Thompson News Editor—Jim Eiliott\ Entertainment Editor--Brandon Tise Features Editor-- Pat Coyle 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.

Apparently that study will center only on a facility that will accomodate 750 people. Some officials already feel that such a building would be more than adequate for the types of programs that would be staged in it by various groups. But, in light of the continuing growth of this university athletically and in other forms we feel that studying the feasibility of just a 700 person facility is a waste of time and energy. Any study to build a conference type facility in Greenville should be tied directly to a coliseum type operation we believe. The present ECU facility, Minges Coliseum, is totally inadequate. To call the facility a coliseum is to demote the true “coliseums” at Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte. Minges is nothing more than a glorified high school gym. The basketball facility has all the character of a warehouse, with out bleachers. In light of the push by the university to upgrade it’s athletic programs one has to wonder how long you can push for improvement on the court with better players and programs without having to push for a better court for the players to play in. Talk of expanding Ficklen has a:.ounded for some time. But, just as importantly is the need to expand Minges...or replace it completely. The “Pirates” basketball program showed marked improvement last year and their is every reason to expect more this year and in the future. So, as the program upgrades itself surely we must look to enlarge the facility to seat a minimum 10,000 people which would allow the home scheduling of teams other than Georgia Southern and South Carolina School for the Blind. The study of a conference center is a good one. But, the study group will miss a good opportunity if it can’t see to link such a conference center into a large coliseum that this university needs. oY Ue Nees S35) am BO Let To Fe Tt reprir Ralpt attenc Carol here opini unjus class situat at Ch. bigge While of a W al To Fo Re Ralph the “F ex-frie secon make opinio “class himsel Haliov compl.

As one student who formerly attended the almighty University of North Carolina and who now attends school here at East Carolina, | feel that the opinions of Mr. Ellis are totally unjustified. His opinion that Carolina has class and that nothing like the Halloween situation at East Carolina could happen at Chapel Hill because of its class, is the biggest piece of crap | have ever heard. While attending Carolina, | found people of all kinds; some had class (as apparently Mr. Ellis assumes he himself possesses) and some people had no class whatsoever. Mr. Ellis-you have no right to place such a degrading generalization upon the students here at East Carolina. Yes, | admit that we have people here with no sacred class, but--Mr. Ellis we also have people who possess just as much and even more class than the people at Carolina. | am glad that we here at East Carolina have a variety of people, not just one kind, even if that one kind were to be those with class, because it’s the different types of people who make up the world we have to live in--and you've got to learn how to Writer fuvors Pabst blue and ECU over UNC To Fountainhead : Responding to the absurd letter by Ralph Ellis in “The Daily Tar Heel” and in the “Fountainhead,” a couple of Raiph’s ex-friends from Smithfield and from the second lower “class”, ECU, would like to make a few statements. Using Ralph’s opinion, if Carolina does have more “class,” then why was he disgracing himself by visiting East Carolina on Halioween night? We heard of no complaints from him while he visited us. Ralph was even dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, folks! We would like to make a new division in the so-called “classes’”-East Carolina (with “ciass”), Carolina, and the lowest “class,” Ralph Ellis. What is the matter Ralph, does the football score blind your eyes and burn your ears? We hear you didn’t like our tear gas either. Well, choke on this Ralph, dear, we'll trade “Carolina blue” and you for ECU and “Pabst Blue” any day! We may throw rocks, bricks, and riot, but “How sweet it is to be a Pirate!!!

If | were you Mr. Ralph Ellis, | would think twice about making such an accusation about the students here at East Carolina and about making such a bold statement that nothing like that would happen at Carolina~what are you? A fortune teller? Anyway, you yourself showed just as little class as anyone else did Halloween here in Greenville. Why did you come to Greenville for Halloween in the first place, if not to have a good time? Everyone downtown went for the same reason--the episodes that followed much drink and good time were in no way any indication of the class of people involved--merely a stimulated chain of events that no one person, or just the people from Greenville can be held responsible for. Come on, Mr. Ralph Eilis, different strokes for different folks. | stayed in Granville Towers myself, and the people there are not different from people anywhere else. But personally, | like the people here better than at Carolina, because they are not afraid to open up and be the hell raisers that they are, or the quiet mice they are-if they so choose. So what if alot of people in Greenville happen to be hell raisers and not quiet mice (or any other quiet subdued creature-no offensive to the mice of the world)?? | bet if everybody at Carolina went downtown on one specific night, everybody, you might see just how much class you do have. Addie Collins issue with bus schedule To Fountainhead: There is a need for the Gold Bus to wait for the Purple Bus to arrive at the stoplight at 10th & College Hill. | have to ride the Purple Bus from Village Green to Memorial Gym. On Tuesday and Thursday | have a 12:30 P.E. class at Minges which is on the Gold Bus schedule. On the schedule it has the Purple Bus departing Memorial Gym at 17 after the hour. The Gold Bus departs 10 & College Hill at 20 after the hour. However, the Goid Bus leaves before the Purple Bus getsthere. Ail that is needed is for the Gold Bus to wait for the Purple Bus to arrive at the stoplight to see if it has any passengers on the Purple Bus. This way |, and others who have expressed the same feeling, can make our classes. Thank you, Robert J. Dunn Ellis lack of class noted To Fountainhead : We thought you might be interested in a copy of the following letter that we submitted to the editor of the Daily Tar Heel at Carolina. To the Editor: In response to the publication of the letter by Raiph Ellis in the Tuesday, November 11, 1975, issue of the Daily Tar Heel, we find Mr. Ellis’ remarks about the East Carolina University student body absoiutely disgusting. The riot of October 31, 1975, was not induced by the students but was instigated by overreaction on the part of the Greenville Police Force. How can Mr. Ellis base his judgment on the “class” of the entire ECU student body on the actions of a few enraged, intoxicated persons, among which half were not even ECU students? We both were present and sober the night the unfortunate Halloween incident occurred in downtown Greenville. Observing from a safe distance, we witnessed undue force by the police; and a very small minority of the crowd was engaged in brick throwing and window breaking. Mr. Ellis’ irrational statement regard- ing the “class” of ECU students obviously reveais his lack of good judgment. How does he know that some of the students at Carolina wouidn't exhibit the same reactions as the unruly few here when provoked by police under the conditions of the situation present here October 31? lf Mr. “High and Mighty” Ellis feels he has such “class” that it is beneath his dignity to associate with ECU students, then he should stay the hell where he is!

As a student and contributor of my student fees to this bungle, (what else can you call it?) | urge others who cannot see the seriousness of this error, and those who do, to call for a change in the SGA concerning the Treasury Branch! To pay student activity fees, as | and over 11,000 others have done, and then have them mismanaged as the SGA has so proficiently done, is the height of absurdity. This college cannot expect us to pay so much a quarter for activity fees, and then have the SGA miscalculate the total amount! Was this miscalculation a result of human error? Or was it computer error, as those who have had to go through drop-add will admit CAN and DOES happen? A computer error in itself is not the SGA’s fault. But why wasn’t the $90,000 discrepancy discovered before now, before the treasury was reduced to a mere $15,000? This last question is a clue to where the actual fault lay. With the SGA for NOT discovering the error, whether human or computer, before now!

Only beer may be served at these functions, according to Mallory. The sponsoring organization shall purchase the beer, with no “gimmicks” before, during or after the event to collect money. An approved sponsor shall be present during the function and only ECU students and their guests may attend. Again, proof of age and _ identification may be required. Possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the privacy of dorm rooms has been allowed since a ruling by then Attorney General Robert Morgan about four years ago, said Mallory. The ruling from Morgan declared dorm rooms secondary residences with the individual chancellors as landlords. Use of alcohol in the rooms was regulated from that time, by the chancellors. However, says Mallory, consumption of alcoho! must be in the privacy of the room. In other words, he said, loud partying and beer kegs in the rooms are not allowed. Alexander, Tucker and Mallory agreed that no reai problems with alcohol on campus are forseen under the new policies. “We've been having beer blasts in the residence hail basements for three or four years and haven't had a bit of trouble,” stated Maliory. Alexander said, “Once the policies are known | think there will be less sneaking.” However, ail agreed that violators will be apprehended “We are not seeking violators,” said Alexander, “but we are not going to tum our heads either. We will enforce these policies until the Board of Trustees changes them,” he said. The policies list public display, profanity, obscenity, intoxication and disorderly conduct as some examples of violations. “Drunkenness and disorderly conduct may subject the offender to disciplinary action and/or arrest by law enforcement personnel.” (Section B-4,c). Since violations on campus will be against university regulations, offenders will be taken before the Honor Council where actions could lead to fines and/or restrictions of certain privileges, said Tucker. Violations in Mendenhall could deny organizations the privilege of Corrections system needs improvement December 8-12 is Corrections Week in North Carolina. ECU Dept. of Corrections Professor Herman G. Moeller recently commented on needed improvements in the N.C. Corrections System. Moeller pointed out that, although most decisions made by judges are subject to review, sentencing in North Carolina is not subject to review. Also, judges are not required to state the reasons for the sentences they impose. “The N.C. governor has appointed a Studies Commission on sentencing which | hope will make recommendations leading to the requirement that judges explain the reasons for their sentences,” Moeller said In proportion to its population, North Carolina confines more people than does any other state, he added. “To a large extent, this fact is the result of our lack of alternatives to penal FOR YOUR HOLIDAY FASHION NEEDS jeans, slacks , sport shirts, tops, sweaters, jackets, leathers and suits for today.

We have just begun to implement standards recommended by the National Advisory Commission on prison standards,” Moeller continued. Among other alternatives to penal confinement suggested by Moelier was the need for the development of community facilities, group homes for juvenile delinquents, wider use of work release for misdemeanors and reintegra tion centers needed for men and women. Moeller, who has had 33 years experience with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, based his remarks on studies made over the past 40 years “The establishment of alternative programs will make it less necessary to rely on penal institutions,’’ Moeller continued. He added that these services were not cheap, but that the operation of N.C. penal institutions was becoming even more expensive ee Aa Ae A di Dedede Dedede ddd dardiadindiddadidinddada dad J @ e| Headstrong ‘Ts reserving rooms for their functions Offenses in dorms will be reviewed before the House Council “A lot of hard work has gone into arriving at these policies,” said Mallory “| hope the students will respect the efforts of the students, faculty, and administration in getting these,” he said Send for your up-to-date, 160 FUTURE PROSPECTS page, mat! order catalog Enclose Dean Tucker said there had been no $1.00 to cover postage and problems surrounding alcoho! on campus handling thus far. “But, | think how the students RESEARCH ASSISTANCE.

It's ‘flu’ time again By DENNIS C. LEONARD Have you been feeling tired and run down lately and you know that Speech 125 could not have possibly been that nauseating this early in the quarter? The proper label for this nausea (contrary to popular belief) is probably influenza, the dreaded illness that retards one’s motivation and disrupts normal body functions. To find out more information about the subject, Fountainhead retreat- ed to the bowels of the student infirmary and interviewed ECU's leading medical authority, Dr. C.F Irons Irons There is probably a slight increase in the number of cold and flu cases outside of the According to Dr university, but in comparison to last year, the number of cases have dropped considerably.” Dr. trons further noted that “There is a new, more severe strain of influenza that is supposed to reach the U.S. later on this year,” but he was not quite positive of the proper name for this new type. Dr. Irons also added that no cases of this new flu strain have been reported at the ECU infirmary as of the present. The major symptoms noted were tired, aching muscles, an elevated temperature, and reduced motivation. Dr. irons personally feels that the easiest way to avoid the often inevitable flu is to avoid loss of sleep, avoid excessive body fatigue, and avoid contact with those persons who are sick with the flu.” Remember also that the flu is a highly communicable disease and can be easily contrived through contact with infectious persons Dr. Irons most importantly suggests that “plenty of rest” is the prime remedy in fending off the flu this year. Dr. trons urges those students who may have aching muscles and high temperatures to report immediately to the infirmary so that it can be properly treated by the infirmary’s medical staff.

According to Mendenhall, “we are dividing the club into three groups at present; the advanced players, those who are above average, and the average players. “We have plans to establish a fourth group, for beginning players, in the future. The more experienced club members will provide instruction for the novices,” he said Until now the club's activities have been limited to round robin playing with- in the group. The organization will begin competition with other schools starting with a warmup tournament with Rose Wed. - Fri.- Sat.

He asks the receiver to make a comment and to send him something in return. His most interesting reply came from Richard Nixon who returned a form letter. Bickley is challenged by his involvement in sculpture. He comments, “Many people think art is only two-dimensional, but in sculpture there is a whole new dimension. One can see and feel the space-form relationship. The sculpture | create is the result of a totally personal relaiionship between the steel and myself. | have tried to become one with the steel’.

Of the events in which East Carolina uld excel, Coach Carson foresees the 1 to dominate the 60 yard dash this son. Carter Suggs led the squad with overall best time of 6.1, followed by ry Austin and Robert Franklin each of om maintain a 6.2 clocking, and rice Huntley with a time of 6.3. j son plans to run Al Washington, vin Alston, Donny Mac, and Marvin kens in this event, also. siaengetta. | Davidson has outscored its three opponents handily in field goals but the opposition has attempted twice as many foul shots and made aimost twice as many. “If we get it inside to Rixey and Dore they are either going to score or get fouled,” Brickels said. “And John Gerdy should be getting about six or seven foul shots per game and he only had five attempts in the first three games.” EPPA RIXEY The 440 yard dash is another area of strength in the indoor events. Carson expects to run Maurice Huntley and Robert Franklin exclusively in the quarter, along with Carter Suggs and Charlie Moss, an ECU football player. In the 600 yard run and the 880 yard run, East Carolina anticipates displaying its dominance in distance running. Ben Duckenfield and his brother, Mel, each received considerable recognition in the 600 yard run last season, and, as On Saturday, the Wildcats will come here to Greenville to help the Pirates open their home schedule Despite his inability to gather fouls, Gerdy is the Wildcats’ scoring leader with a 21.7 average in the first three games Gerdy has also been the ‘Cats’ leading scorer in each of the games so far Dore’s stamina is not an isolated problem, as the Wildcats have been forced to run players in and out all season to keep a fresh squad in Consequently, the leading Wildcat rebounder, Eppa Rixey, is averaging only six rebounds a game. Rixey, whose father was a Hail of Fame pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, is also the team captain this year. Before the season, Rixey had hoped Dore, at 7-2, would be a big help in the rebounding. Last year a lot of pressure was put on Rixey to produce, as the returning sophomores they will lead the team in this event. In addition to the Duckenfieid brothers, Carson will run James Freeman, Jody Deloach, Keith Urguhart, and Val Dez Charvis. Carson expects an outstanding season for the 880 yard run by featuring Charles Avery whose overall best time is 1:53.1, and Jim Willet with a 1:53.6 clocking. Two field events, the long jump and Wildcats’ tallest big man, now that responsibility falls on Dore ‘We're trying to build up an inside game this year,” said Rixey. “We have the shooters outside, but we need inside men. We are going to have to be able to rebound to build up our game “We have a team on the court that averages 6-7 and if three of our big men play together we could be awesome. It will be a matter of working on different groups until we have a set team to work with.” The Wildcats are still doing that, searching for the right combination. That is also basically what ECU was trying to do in its early games So when Davidson travels to Minges this weekend, it will mean the matchup of two teams who are still searching for the best team. One of them will come a bit closer to that goal than the other Carson optimistic about upcoming indoor track high hurdles, are other areas of fine performance expected of the ECU track team during the indoor track season East Carolina’s outstanding long jumper, Willie Harvey, will be returning this year after an injury in the 1975 season. Carter Suggs, the outdoor long jump champion of the 1975 season along with George Jackson, Ai McCrimmon, and Keith Allamong will each compete in this event. See Carson, page 15.... Grapplers to meet Oregon State,Lehigh By SAM ROGERS Staff Writer After a lengthy three week layoff, the East Carolina wrestling team swings back into action this weekend when the Pirate matmen travel to Bethlehem, Pa. to face nationally ranked Lehigh and Oregon State along with Indiana State in a quadrangular meet. East Carolina will meet Oregon State Friday night and will battle Lehigh Saturday afternoon and Indiana State Saturday night. “We just feel real fortunate to be able to wrestle agains teams of this caliber,” said Pirate head coach John Welborn. “Lehigh and Oregon State are both truly outstanding teams loaded with talent and | hope we don't overlook Indiana State because they also have a fine team. But we're looking forward to competing against all three teams and | think we will give a good account of ourselves.” Lehigh finished fifth in last year's NCAA Tournament while Oregon State was right behind the Engineers in seventh place. Both teams are definite contenders for championship. Lehigh is led by NCAA champion Mike Lieberman (177 or 190), Don McCorkel (Hwt.), and Lance Leonhardt (118-126). Mike Frick who won the NCAA title at 134 last year and was named the Outstanding Wrestler in the tournament is academically ineligible and will sit out the entire 1975-76 season Oregon State’s top performer is Larry Bielenberg who won the heavyweight division in the NCAA Tournament. The Ducks also have Bob Ziebart who placed fifth in the 150 pound weight class in the nationals. While Lehigh, Oregon State and Indiana State boast some of the top wrestlers in the country, the Pirates have ;'enty of outstanding performers which s. 2uld fare well this weekend. this year’s national The Pirates’ fearsome foursome of Mik Radford, Ron Whitcomb, Phil Mueé er and Tom Marriott have a combined record of 42 wins and only three losses between them. Radford, a senior from Morehead City, N.C. has swept three tournament titles this season at the 190 pound weight class and has an overall record of 11-0. Whitcomb, a senior from East Rochester, N.Y. who wrestles at 177, also has three tournament championships to his credit with an overall record of 11-0. Marriott, a senior from Herkimer, N.Y. has one title and a second place finish along with a 10-1 slate. Phil Mueller, a transfer from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point boasts a 10-2 overall record in the 167 pound weight class and received the Outstanding Wrestier Award in the North Carolina Invitational Tournament The Pirates will also get plenty of help from senior Paul Ketcham (126), sophomores Paul Osman (134), Paul Thorp (150), along with freshman sensation James Kirby (126). Ketcham and Thorp are both 9-3 for the year while Osman has a fine 9-4 record and Kirby is 8-2 Jeff Curtis (118), Clay Scott (134), Paul Prewitt (158), John Williams (Hwt.) and D.T.

In two of the events, the 9 900 freestyle and 400 freestyle, new varsity team records were established In the 2,000 reestyle, the team of John Tudor, Thomas Palmgren, Bill Thorne, and Stewart Mann broke a previous record with a time of 20:13.25. Mann swam the fastest leg finishing in 4:53.7 Ross Bohiken, Steve Ruedlinger, John McCauley, and Thorne teamed together in the 400 to establish a 3:12.87 record In these two events the Pirates finished fifth and third, respectively The Pirates’ best finish was in the 500 yard crescendo when Ruedlinger, Bohiken, Tudor, McCauley, and Alan Clancy placed second with a time of 4:05.0 In other relay events the Pirates finished among the top six teams in five of the remaining events as follows: Fifth in the 200 yard free relay in which John Clancy swam a fast 21:12 leg: third and sixth, respectively in the 400 butterfly (3:39.4) and 400 individual relay (3:53.9) Despite the Pirates fifth place finish, ECU was only eight points away from third place.
