And, with the prospects that a similar incident could happen again maybe the student body and the SGA should not let the issue die completely. For, if a lesson, or lessons, can’t be learned from the incident, then the tragedy could happen all over again—except this time it could be worse. In today’s paper the Fountainhead staff has tried to take a look at the incident and some of the other issues that have grown out of the Halloween incident. One of the best items mentioned in the stories compiled by the staff is a comment from Dennis Chestnut who is on the Psychology staff. Chestnut contends that, “We have a university town without a university attitude”. And, with that Chestnut may have hit the nail more squarely on the head than anyone has so far. Police in just about any other community in American with a large university would not have reacted the way the Greenville PD did. Why--because of attitude. And, until there is a basic attitude shift by the city fathers concerning the university and its students, the possibility of a repeat of Halloween 1975 looms very ominious on the horizon. SGA Trends This years term of the SGA has only been in session about two months but the group has already established some important trends and made some key decisions. So far the SGA, which in the past has been accused of being a lackluster body that only worried over financial matters, has shown much greater concern over student related problems than SGA’s of the past. At the same time the group has followed an established tight money policy and given the two most important leadership post in the SGA to a pair of sophomores. At its initial session the SGA tapped a sophomore to hold the Speakers post-a position of considerable power and influence. And then the Speaker appointed another sophomore to chair the powerful Approporiations Committee. Both these positions in the past have been usually filled by upperclassmen. Both the Speaker last year and the Appropriations Chairman were seniors. But, this years body has had more influence and direction from underclassmen than any SGA in recent memory. And, the SGA has shown that they are not afraid of controversy or exercising all the power they have, or think they have, at their disposal to right a student wrong. The now infamous downtown incident plainly shows the legislatures desire to do whatever they can to protect the students welfare. ea i a] “Were it left "to me to decide whether we should have a goverment without newspapers, or newspapers without government, | should not hesitate 2 moment to prefer the latter.” Editor-In-Chief--Mike Taylor Thomas Jettersor Managing Editor--Tom Tozer Business Manager-- Teresa Whisenant Production Manager— Jimmy Williams Advertising Manager--Mike Thompson News Editor-Jim Elliott\ Entertainment Editor--Brandon Tise Features Editor--' Pat Coyle Sports Editor--John Evans Fountainhead is the student newspaper of East Carolina University sponsored by the Student Goverment Association of ECU and appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the school year.

Good news Thursday’s edition of the Fountainhead will be the last: one published until after the Christmas holidays. In tact it will not be until January 6th before the twice weekly astonisher is back on the streets. So, in our issue Thursday the staff will give Fountainhead readers a Christmas present =a very nice one we think. In Thursday’s edition students will find nothing but good news. And, that should be a welcome reliaf from the reader who in the past has been barraged with riot reports, SGA hassels, publication controversies, etc... Thursday we will dedicate the paper to the better aspects of life on the campus and in this community as tney relate to Christmas. How local people help other people at Christmas will be the theme of this paper. All our stories will deal with how campus groups, local churches and county and city offices devote a lot of their time and money during the Yuletide season to help those less fortunate. Nothing but “GOOD NEWS” in the paper next Thursday, a pleasant change we hope. It is interesting to note that there was a paper in California that prided itself on being a “good news” newspaper. In every issue they devoted all their stories to nothing but the good news they could find to report. That paper went broke some time back and had to close. Hopefully, doing this for just one issue will not wreck us. It is a little something different. Something we hope you will like. Just remember what the season is all about.

Mr. Ellis blatantly stated that ECU had no class at all. He based this decision on what he saw here in Greenville Halloween night. Ellis also said two completely different types of people attend ECU and UNC, calling the ECU student “wild”. According to this UNC diehard, the conduct he observed here that night on the part of the ECU students would never happen at UNC because “Carolina has class”. As an ECU student and former Chapel Hillian | feel | should respond to this ignorant assessment of ECU students Mr. Ellis gave in his letter to the Daily Tar Heel. Perhaps Ellis is right in saying the incident which occurred in Greenville Halloween night could never happen at Carolina. However, this is not because UNC has more class than ECU. Class has nothing to do with it. The only reason | see a similar incident not happening in Chapel Hil! is that UNC students do not congregate in downtown Chapel Hill like we do here in Greenville. As all ECU students know, the bars in Greenville are within a block of each other. With so many people in a small area it should surprise no one _ that incidents are likely to happen. In Chapel Hill the bars are few and far apart and in my opinion have little to offer when compared to what we have here in Greenville. Downtown Chapel Hill never gets as crowded with students as does Greenville because there is not that much entertainment for the UNC students. From my observations of UNC and Textbook price reduction needed To Fountainhead : At the beginning of a new quarter, students at East Carolina are subjected to the tremendous financial burden of paying tuiti dormitory or apartment rent and the asic necessities of living. To add to this burden, students are also required to buy textbooks. The basic tuition fees and rent are understandable, but the prices of textbooks have gone beyond the limit of economic practicality. The cost of textbooks has risen to the extent of creating a definite financial difficulty for a great deal of students. Textbooks are as essential, in some cases more essential, than professors. Students are expected to pay anywhere from $25 to $75 per quarter for textbooks that will be useful for ten weeks. Granted, many textbooks retain their usefulness for» iong period of time and the price can be justified. However, the vast majority of textbooks bought by a student at st Carolina do not retain their value. In some cases, the book loses its value before a quarter is over and the student is stuck with an $8 or $10 book that is useless. The situation is sometimes alleviated when the bookstore buys back the book for half of what was paid for it. However, in many cases a book will not be bought back for any number of reasons. e professor teaching the course decided the book was inadaquate or out of date, or the course will not be offered again until one or two quarters later. The book buying policy of the student store is FOUNTAINHEAD invites all readers to ex- press their opinions in the Forum. Letters should be signed by their author(s]; names will be withheld on request. somewhat less than adaquate. There are few alternatives offered by the university other than the student bookstore. There is the non-university connected University Book Exchange downtown. This is a good but many times it does not have all of the books needed. The East Carolina University Veterans Club offers an excellent program for the students to buy and sell books, from and to themselves. This program is subject to the same downfalis of the student bookstore. That is, the book may not be used in. The university itself should make some sort of attempt to help bring down the high cost of books to the individual student. Appalachian State University offers a book rental program to studnets. The students may have to buy certain highly specialized textbooks, but the general college books are provided for a reasonable rental fee. If this is not feasible for ECU, then another plan should be provided. The Student Government Associator could channel some of its general fund into the student bookstore. is would at least provide a minimal discount for students. The situation is complicated by many things. First of all, all profits derived at the bookstore benifit the university because every penny is put into scholarships for the students. The less of profits from the bookstore could greatly hinder scholarships provided. The point to remember is that all students not on scholarships are affected by bookstore prices, unless, as seems to be becoming popular, a student steals the books needed. Whatever the case, a definite need for reduction of book prices is greatly needed. Sincerely, Ken Bradner 300 Verdant St. Apt. C-3 Class of '76 Chapel Hil! there is very little to do there (unless one belongs to a fratemity or sorority) and a visit to this place is an exercise in boredom. This may be the reason Mr. Ellis was in Greenville that night instead of Chapei Hill. The statement in Ellis’ letter referring to the ECU student as being “wild” and completely different from his UNC counterpart apparently had a very simple mind behind it. The ECU student is not any wilder than the one who attends UNC. He just takes advantage of what Greenville has to offer, and warts to have a good time. If Chapei Hii! catered to the UNC student in the same fashion that Greenville does to ECU, Mr. Ellis might be surprised at all the “wild” people he sees on the UNC campus. Mr. Ellis, I'd rather be in Greenville. Kurt Hickman Boycott vote by SGA wise To Fountainhead : The SGA made a wise move in voting approval to boycott downtown Greenville. The boycott had previously been voted on by the legislature in a special session on Nov. 17. The intention of the boycott can certainly be recognized and appreciated by all students. It is the right of the SGA to be involved and for students to be heard and in this case a boycott was a means of fighting for that right. A boycott by the students protesting tactics used Halloween night would appear to me to have created only more hostility among students and city officials. It seems to me that the SGA is trying harder than ever before to become a part of City Council so it will be able to express disapproval on various matters with the hope of getting certain policies changed. Hostility produced by a boycott wouid only disrupt the communications already reiainae between CityCouncil and the A. The SGA and the City Council need to work together for the best interest of the student. Those students who feel a boycott would be a good response by the Students are most likely basing their opinion on emotion. lf the SGA and students are to prevent situations like Halloween they must join in and become an active part of a working whole. | believe the SGA is doing a good job in handling the Halloween situation. the actions of the SGA in deciding not to boycott downtown will prove valid once ail the recommendations and facts are concluded. Betty Gunter Tar Heels bad losers Yo Fountainhead The letter that was printed in “The Daily Tar Heel” by Mr. Ellis was extremely immature. | wonder if he understands what having class means. | understand what having class ‘neans, but of course I’m an ECU student, not a Carolina student. I'm not in a position to talk about the Halloween incident because | was not present. Since Mr. Ellis admits to being downtown perhaps he can state with accuracy that it was ECU students that caused the trouble. Perhaps some of the classy Carolina people were involved. |! would aiso like to add that in previous years, when Carolina and ECU played, that | have never seen such bad winners as Carolina. They rubbed the wins into the ground. Of course ECU is proud of winning the football game. It proved, after many years of ECU being ridiculed, that we are fierce opponents. Also, since | am not aquainted with every student at UNC, | can’t say at they “I have class. In my experience it has veen that there are always a few rotten apples in the basket. Mr. Ellis seems to feel that UNC students all have class. | know for a fact that is not the case. Perhaps jealousy is the motivation for the letter. ECU students know how to enjoy life. Our famous “downtown” proves that Mr. Ellis | feel and I'm sure others feel the same way that before someone can talk abot others, he needs to know what the hell he’s talking about. Mr. Ellis | suggest you stay away from Greenville. | would hate to think such a classy person as yourself lowering yourself by coming. | think your letter proves your lack of class. A person of class wouldn't write a letter of your style. | personally think you are a total commoner. Joey Szilagyi P.S.

Flynn. Though Mr. Flynn did stumble across a few valid things pertaining to the SGA, he’s scraping the bottom of a barrell that both the Fountainhead and Rebel have worn thin Though the Pub Board budget was passed quite along time ago, one would think that a smart horse wouldn’t go to dry well for water, at least not more than twice. With the disclosure of the mistake in the budget, the flood gates were opened for criticism. This mistake is not the complete fault of the SGA, but as few realize, the administration has the last word and also keeps records on the money. Has any criticism been launched at the business office? No, and for the simple reason that when the SGA’s name is associated with our worse situations, it's taken for granted that the SGA was the number 1. villian towards our downfall. It’s a known fact that the headlines that are given to a “goof” by the SGA, are somewhat larger than those, if any, that are given when the Proposal would set mandatory deposit fee To Fountainhead North Carolina PIRG has learned that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally released its proposed guidelines which would place a mandatory 5 cents deposit on beverage containers at federal facilities. TV teaching Although | am a person who believes in making the best of any situation, at times | feel that complaints are a justified means of improving conditions. Recently during a discussion in my fresnman composition class last quarter, several students (all of them Business majors) brought up the problem that television instruction creates. It seems these students were taking Economics 111 and 112 (both three-hour courses) with a proctor who administered exams. They voiced their disapproval of being unable to have a teacher in person to whom they could direct questions or ask for help. They also complained that the class average was very low and attributed this to inadequate instruction from the screen. Other students who were fortunate enough to have these same courses under an instructor in person confessed that they were doing much better because they did have an instructor to see and knew more about what was expected of them on tests. | can understand that in a university it is impossible to cater to the individual needs of every student. However, in the name of knowledge, | consider it despicable when a_ university saves money at the expense of the education it supposedly offers the student. How can students be expected to cultivate good attitudes or progress in life when they are given shoddy foundations in fundamental courses? These concerned young men who brought this to my attention are freshmen, and already from this case they seem to have discovered one rule of business; the higher learning of economics has descended to the mammon monsters Most sincerely, Teresa Speight, Russell E. Train, Administrator of the EPA, deserves encouragement for his decision to issue the guidelines for public comment. As we noted in the first of a series of PIRG columns appearing in college newspapers in September, Mr. Train had been under pressure from industry lobbyists to bury the guidelines. Now they are out in the open and the open process of official comment and advocacy is at hand. In releasing the guidelines for public comment, the EPA chief said: “A mandatory deposit on beverage contain- ers should held save energy, conserve resources, reduce pollution, lower the mounting cost to the taxpayer of waste collection and disposal, and provide lower prices to the consumer.” The EPA estimates that the proposed guidelines would reduce beverage container waste at Federal facilities by about 65 percent, providing savings of about two million dollars annually in disposal and collection costs. The guidelines are also expected to save the energy equivalent of 2800 barrels of cil a day in the production and distribution of beverage containers. This issue has reached the official comment stage in large part because of the knowledgeable pressure of concerned citizens and citizen groups across the country. Continued attention and participation is necessary. Although most activity must now take place in a public forum, adverse comments and continued industry lobbying can be expected from anti-bottle bill forces. So that you may know in greater detail what the guidelines call for, you may wish to obtain a copy of the proposed guidelines from the Assistant Administrator for Solid Waste Management Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, AW 462, Washington, D.C. 20460. Comments may be filed on behalf of you as an individual, or on behalf of your group. The comments do not have to be in any special or legalistic form, but shouid be sent to the address listed above prior to January 12, 1976. Sincerely Peter W. Brown Staff Attormey North Carolina PIRG SGA pulls a helpless organization out of a hole, or sticks its neck out pertaining to the Halloween Riot. Mr. Flynn is toying with a bunch of “ifs” when he talks about appropriations to both the Rebel and Fountainhead. I've worked on both an annual and newspaper staff and know what goes into the production of both. Trying to “snow” the people that know little or nothing about the formation of a paper is one thing, but pulling the woll over the eyes of an ex-reporter, is pure ignorance on the paper's behalf. Sure a few years ago the Rebei was a nationally prominent literary magazine, but that was indeed a few years ago. The money was appropriated, but | guess that those who submitted the request for funds, also thought that the SGA was also going to do ail the work. The Rebel has become a “wait, see and hope” situation. The SGA in most cases, only appropriates, not volunteers to run the show. In my opinion, | feel that the Fountainhead doesn’t need to be 245 pages long. if you argue that one should look at ali the ads, well if the paper were smailer, it would cost less to print, thus needing less advertisers and their ads. As for the budget, or as some would say, what’s left of the budget, we're not doomed as some would lead up to believe. The treasurer, Larry Chesson, has interpreted our current monetary situation, and the students needs to understand how the SGA and its constituents, the students, stand. By all means, appropriated does not mean the funds have been spent and _ that organizations will be running to the SGA for more money and eventual rescue. Appropriations to organizations are over a yearly basis, and all have veen dealt with. WECU's February request for salary appropriations is not concrete, but probable. if it were for certain that WECU Lockers needed To Fountainhead : Tuesday, December 9, as i was practicing for the swimming proficiency test at Minges Pool, some kind-hearted person relieved me of the great weight of my pocketbook.

Before i have to spend my entire month’s budget to replace some of these items, it would be nice if this person would kindly retum the things he cannot use, either by mail or tuming them in to a lost-and-found. (Mendenhall) | would also like to know why a locked room or locker cannot be provided for students during the swimming activities.

For the next five months, funds that are requested, wil! be for luxuries, such as retreats, not budget necessities. As for Mr. Fiynn’s editorial, he would've showed iess ignorance by signing it “pathetically yours”. For those who have forgotten or are new to ECU’s spring schedule, elections seem to generate much controversy. It’s the time of year that the candidate promises his “right arm’ to the voting public, but as soon as he's in office, that “right arm” won't even hold the door open for you at the school store. The voter doesn’t forget a promise, but those elected, forget the voter and_ their problems. If those at ECU would take a few minutes to look over the issues and question the integrity or even the candidate themself. Know what you're voting for or against, or not voting at ail. “Those who don’t vote or vote the least, tend to complain the loudest.” | hope | opened a few minds and mouths. Even if you’re hot over my opinions, the fact that you’re showing an opinion of your own, shines light in an alley; voter apathy and misconception.

Listeners of WRQR_ have been subjected to a plea for public support. The public is urged to write a brie f letter of support to the station stating that they do not want a change in format. Since WRQR’s beginning in March of 1974, the station has been operating in the red by more than $1,000 each month, according to General Manager Gene Gray. “When we go on the air and say we are hurting for money, that takes guts,” Grey stated. “We are not just playing some silly game.” Grey, who is also manager of the country station WFAG said that the country station is helping to defer the cost of running WRQR, but that it cannot continue to work that way. “We want WROR the way it is, but it is becoming a financial decision. If we can't get advertising we will have to change.” The station has not getting advertising from night clubs and nad trouble “headshops”, but that is not enough to run the station, according to Grey. The average advertiser for WROR spends $2 for each minute of advertising time. WROR is legally allowed 18 minutes per hour advertising time. “We wiil never go higher than ten minutes per hour,” said Program Manager Danny Miller. The final decision as to what format the station will take in the future will be made next week. The appeal to listeners from the station has stopped to avoid alienating listeners. “There are two things which will heip kill us, apathy from the public, and the thinking that it is an advertising gimmick,” said Miller. “Everything we do on the air is due to listener response,” said Miller. “The closest thing to a gimmick we have ever aired is Fantasy Park, and that cost us $1000.” The public appeai was first announced on Monday, Dec. 8, and by Saturday about 1200 letters were received. About a dozen petitions ranging from 20 to 450 signatures were also received. “The past month we've been averaging only three and a half to four minutes an hour,” added Grey “| think that our station is ahead of its time and our audience is above averaae intelligence. What we want is an honest appraisal of who our audience is wnen we receive the resuits we will analyze the data to find what age groups listen, and catagorize the information however possible,” Grey stated. Program Manager Miller explained that when the station began in March, a survey was taken, mainly in the Greenville area to determine if a station of “progressive related contemporary music, along the same line as WQDR in Raleigh” was marketable in this area. The results seemed to indicate it was ECU Carol music planned for Thursday ‘A Ceremony of Carols,” arrange ments of medieval English Christmas songs by Benjamin Britten, and a selection of harp music will be featured at the annual Christmas concert of the ECU Women’s Glee Club Thursday, Dec. 18, in the Fletcher Music Center Recital Hall, at 8:15 p.m. The program is free and open to the public.

This connotation of the twelfth month has been inherited by America from her European ancestors. All of the merrymaking and joyous revelry that accompanies this time of year is a tradition that has seen some hard times, at one time there was even a law banning the observance of the birth of Christ. Like the language that we speak, our customs concerning Christmas are a mixture of those of the ones observed by the settlers of this nation. Along with their personal belongings, the colonists also brought both religious and folk features of the celebration with them. The religious observance of Christmas brought on quarrels between denomi- nations during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some observed it only as a religious feast. Puritans, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Quakers strongly opposed the religious obser- vance of Christmas, but members of the Church of England, the Dutch Reformed, Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches, as well as the German sects, carefuily followed the traditional celebrations. Religious, ethnic, and national ties were intermixed in defining attitudes towards the festival Christmas came to the American colonies while it was the subject of a great deal of controversy in England. For the Church of England, the Feast of the Nativity was one of the most important of the year, even though the English Puritans condemned it as “Popish” and the secular celebrations as a “wonton Bacchanalian feast.” This hostile attitude toward observing Christmas was shared by the New England Puritans. Records show that on December 25, 1620, they worked at the erection of their first building. The colonists were still living aboard the Ma¥flower in the Plymouth colony, and were going ashore to construct buildings. Like the Puritans, the Pilgrims did not celebrate Christmas. Instead, they concentrated on their building. Back on the ship, the food supply of the colonists had been greatly reduced and water was the only beverage consumed. The skipper of the ship, not being a Pilgrim, broke out some of the ship’s beer and invited the Pilgrims on board to join him in a_ little celebration of Christmas. The men on shore had no beer and complained bitterly The oppositions of the English Puritans to festivals was brought together in an act of Parliament in 1647 which abolished the observance of Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. Puritans in America enacted a law in 1659 in the General Court of Massachusetts to punish those who “kept Christmas”. For every offense (abstinence from labor, feasting), the fine was five shillings (at the time, this is estimated at $7). Earlier, in 1621, Governor Bradford of the Plymouth Colony publicly reprimand- ed several “lusty young men” who believed in playing, rather than working on Christmas Day. When immigration into the colonies began by other religious groups, the severity of the laws were lessened. In 1681 the laws against the celebration of Christmas were repealed. The English and Hessian troops celebrated Christmas during the Revoiu- tionary War, a somewhat patriotic note to the denominational controversy. General George Washington crossed the Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776, surprising and defeating the Hessians at Trenton, New Jersey. Despite anti-Christmas feelings, there were a number of colonists who did not share these beliefs. There were folk festivals, even in parts of New England dominated by the Puritans. In the area around New York City, in Pennsylvania, Yes, Jimmy, Larry, and Leo There is a Santa As Christmas draws closer, virtually everyone is plagued by the problem of what gift to give whom The FOUNTAINHEAD staff has compiled a list of gifts they'd like to give to people around Greenville. For CHANCELLOR JENKINS, we'd like to have 30,000 “All the way with Leo J.” bumper stickers printed. For JIMMY HUNNICUTT, we'd give a free Dale Carnegie course on “how to win friends and influence people”. For the FRATS, we'd sponsor “a night on the train” with Raquel Weich, Linda Lovelace, Ann-Margaret, or Diana Ross. For the GREEK LADIES, there would be an all-expense paid trip to New York for beauty makeovers to make them ail look like Raquel Welch, Linda Lovelace, Ann-Margaret, or Diana Ross. For the JOCKS AT WECU AND BIG WOOW, we'd pay for memberships to the Wolfman Jack Fan Club. For the MAJOR ATTRACTIONS COMMITTEE, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, all four Beatles, Olivia-Newton- John, Eagles, America AND Lawrence Weik would volunteer to appear in a charity concert at Minges. LARRY CHESSON would be delivered a cashier's check for $85 thousand made out to cash. For the TARHEEL FOOTBALL TEAM, there would be an invitation to a football seminar hosted by Pat Dye. FOR COACH DYE, Joe Namath, Fran and in the Southern colonies both religious and folk celebrations were customary in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Most of the Christmas folk customs came to this country from England, Holland and Germany. Colonists from these countries concentrated on eating, drinking, family gatherings, merrymaking, and joyousness during a Christmas season beginning well in advance of December 25th and extending often to January 6th. National customs were reflected by each group in the food and drink consumed. A holiday salutation was customary in greeting friends, relatives, and even sirangers during the season. From England we get the customs of burning a yule-log, serving mince pie (the blue laws of Massachusetts Bay and New Haven colonies outlawed mince pies) and plum pudding at the Christmas dinner and “wassail”. “Wassail” originally meant “warm ale”, but it later became a term for a wide variety of special Christmas beverages. Caroling was a Christmas folk practice, popular in the colonies and taken over by many groups. Religious and folk songs, included in the carols, were tunes which had grown up about the season. The English also brought the traditional custom of decorating houses and public buildings with holly, ivy and mistletoe. Mirth, good fellowship and the folk quality of Christmas were very much a part of the season. Gifts were not emphasized by the early English colonists, though the wealthy were expected to be generous to the poor. Children received smail presents, but did not look to Christmas as a time to expect gifts. The Dutch colonists brought to New Amsterdam (New York) a number of Christmas folkways later incorporated into the American celebration. St. Nicholas was possibly the greatest; the popular figure of good cheer was a Claus Tarkenton, and George Blanda would decide to go back to college, and would request recruitment here. Our noble sports editor, JOHN EVANS, would be inducted into the “Great Sportswriters Hall of Fame.” BRANDON TISE, the entertainer, would be given job offers from ROLLING STONE, ZOO WORLD), VARIETY, and the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR. MIKE TAYLOR, the “chief”, would be given a $20 thousand gift certificate to be redeemed at the REFLECTOR PRINTING CO. And last but not least, to you the students of EZU, we wish for peace on earth, a chicken in every pot, some pot in every chicken, and a holiday vacation that’s both fun and safe. favorite of Catholics and Protestants alike in Holland. Adopted by many American colonists, he lost much of his ecclesiastical appearance. The Dutch tradition maintains that St. Nicholas brought presents to good children and switches to bad on December 5th. They were taught to leave some hay for the white horse on which he traveled. Both the Dutch and Germans gave small gifts to children at Christmas, with special attention given to the young. Like the English, they looked to Christmas as a time of merriment and joy, and regarded it as a season, not a day or a brief festival. The Germans in Pennsylvania added the Christmas tree to the American celebration. In addition to these permanent settlers, the Hessians stationed in the colonies during the Revolutionary War used Christmas trees to celebrate the holiday. The Christmas gift bringer was called Christkindlein or Kris Kringle by the Pennsylvania Germans. He made his visits Christmas Eve, rather than on December 5th, the Eve of St. Nicholas’s Day. A familiar figure was Beisnickel, known as Knecht Rupprecht in Germany, who had the job of being the servant of St. Nicholas. He presented a threatening attitude, punishing the bad children and rewarding the good with presents. The children of Pennsylvania Germans decorated their trees with animal cookies, apples, strings of popcorn and brightly colored paper. Some groups, such as the Moravians, put lighted candies on their trees as early as 1752, and later placed them in windows, a custom later practiced on Beacon Hill in Boston. Building Christmas ‘yards’ or ‘gardens’ was practiced by the Pennsylvania Germans, but their repro- duction of the manger scene, known as the Putz, is much better known. Like so many other things we do in our country, our ways of celebrating Christmas are a direct result of the traditions brought to this country by our forefathers. in remembering the time of year, we ought not forget just how wonderful and meaningful our own celebration is. Merry Christmas, every- one! E( In Cy Cyr ECU, i Maid o cotton Th womer is helc fashiol cotton will b 29-30.

A great deal of praise goes to the director, Donnie Biehn, who put everything together and made certain aspects of the play, work effectively. One feature of the play that worked well was the live, country-western band that performed the music. The stage business was remarkable and the details were very good, but it was the character work that made the play as dynamic as it was. Constance Ray and John R. Robbins gave sincere and honest performances that were outstanding. The play was three-act, tragic-comedy situated in a bar in a small Texas town and covered a time span of 14 years. The play was actually a play within a play, with the son, Richard Hallen, played by Terry C. Pickard, presenting the play to his mother (a woman in the audience), as a semi-truthful portrait of their family life. This unique feature was not wholly effective until the third act when Richard stops the play and speaks to his mother trying to justify why he wrote the play the way he did. The woman in the audience gets up and leaves in disgust with the audience following her every step in the heavy silence. Horse Hallen (Richard’s father), played by John R. Robbins, is a butcher by trade and a red-neck by nature. His bawdy humor is funny, but not funny enough to keep you from despising him and sometimes it’s difficult finding any compassion for Horse. Horse has two women in his life and usuaily spends his evenings in the bar with his girlfriend Faye Precious. Faye Precious is a simple minded waitress and a hilarious character too innocent to be true. Constance Ray played Faye Precious and it was a joy watching her perform; she was great. Horse’s wife Mary Hallen, played by Rosalie Hutchens, comes to the bar with their son Richard to “visit” Horse. This proves to be an irritant for Horse and Richard seems to bear the burden of his father’s frustrations. Pop, the bartender, played by Mick Godwin, is a comic-mediator, otherwise known as the Shakespearian fool. Even though the part was small, it was the right amount of moderation to balance Horse and Mick Godwin gave a good performance. The literal images present throughout the play were associated with a butcher's job. This led to a symbolic meaning, namely, the mental butchery that humans are capable of inflicting on each other. Mavbe comedy was the inherent concept but the underlying theme was pushed home by the overall, emotionally honest quality of this production and the pain in my stomach was not from excessive laughter.

In the spectre of Barrett, Roger Waters (he wrote the whole album) seeks to uncover before the public eye a form of business enterprise that takes a teenagers soul and replaces it with an electric guitar. “Shine On” is a tribute to a comrade past, a comrade from whom Rodger Waters holds deep emotions of love, respect and pity. With the notable exception of one cut (“Welcome to the Machine”), “Shine On” sets a tone for the whole album. Not so heavy, not so acid as past Floyd ventures. Rather it is a_ professional combine of competent bass, keyboards and percussion laced with the blistful billowing guitar leads of David Gilmour, | mentioned ‘Welcome to the Machine’ as the exception. It is “Machine”, with automated vocals and throbbing piston sound effects that manages to capture the abrasive nature of industrial society like a Vonnegut novel.

(Personally, | would be tempted.) There are certain things you will not get on this album. There will be none of that stratocasting electric guitar (a la “Echoes” off Meddle). There'll be none of the rolling thunder of “Money” (the hit single off Dark Side). You will sorely miss the fernale harmony of, again Dark Side. Dick Parry has another sax lead but the novelty seems worn.

What we have with this new aibum is Pink Floyd, with Rodger Waters firmly at the helm, having finally integrated a new member (David Gilmour}, moving on. As Pink Floyd should.

It seems to have taken the consistent intelligence of Gilmour on guitar to reel the band in from the edge that the Floyd stepped so dangerousiy close to with “Careful with that Axe.

Tear gas...rocks thrown...bottles crash through store windows...blood on the sidewalks...thumb prints...will the charge be misdemeanor or felony? And the FOUNTAINHEAD'’s front page is covered with photographs telling it all An Analysis well be a 1975 very 1974 or The above could ription of Oct. 31 desc Then again, this could also be a sketch f something that occurred in Greenville sometime around 1968. Nevertheless, the violent consequences so closely resem ble each other that the description could quite easily be the same. So what is the difference between “then and now?” In the late sixties, the Vietnam War Students rose up in protest Was raging against what they felt to be useless bloodshed and imperialism. This was the time when the Kent State incident ccurred and when students began ng more freedom in_ the iniversity systems. The sixties saw a new racial awareness among the Black-Americans also, and sometimes violent confrontations arose between these people and the authorities Greenville felt the impact of all of this along with the rest of America Over the last two years or so, this city has once again been subject to student uprisings and violent opposition to authority. But there is one distinct difference between what happened in the sixties and what has been happening in the mid-seventies: purpose. The recent “riots” have clearly been tacking the purpose that overshadowed such activi- ties of the past. So why have they occurred at all? “In the sixties, students were working for individual rights and privileges,” Said Psychologist Dennis Chestnut. “There was a definite clarity of goals. But now the students have all this freedom and don't seem to know what to do with it But the main problem, as | see it, is that even during the sixties, the things they so desperately fought for were superficial; they felt that by eliminating such oppressions as the Vietnam War and racial discrimination, etc., their needs would be met when, in reality, the gratification they needed was much deeper. “We all have inner desires for excitement, adventure, and for some reason to be alive. The students of the sixties had what they felt to be meaningful goals that satisfied those desires for them. But those goals they pushed towards are no longer valuable to today’s students. Yet those same yearnings are still there. And as is the social trend of our time, aspiration for careers is just not meeting those needs. So they ‘party’ like mad and when the chance arises, there are those highly inflammable ones that will give them that added bit of excitement they need, such as a confrontation with the police.” Dr. Melvin J. William, professor of sociology, agreed with Chestnut. “What we're dealing with is the product of suggestability. There’s always a small group in any large gathering of people with axes to grind. Many here have been in and out of trouble for quite some time and they bring a whole set of attitudes towards policemen, etc., with them. These people have friends involved thus, also. Under circumstances like the past two Halloweens, emotions build up and with a little agitation, hasty treatment, and challenge, those people respond, carrying the rest of the crowd with them.” Dr. Williams added another point that he felt to be a pertinent factor in ensuring actions such as the Halloween “riot”: lack of communication. “We all carry concepts of what our rights are. And one of these rights is invariably the right to communicate. What kind of communication can you have when you're told that you have five minutes to disperse?” One other reason for the recent disturbances in downtown Greenville that both professors assert is the attitude of the city officials toward the students. As Chestnut put it, “We have a university town without a university attitude. ECU dominates the whole town and the administrative officials don’t want to admit it. Whereas most of the students lived on campus back in the sixties, the majority now live off. Therefore the city is having to de with them more than it used to, and it just not ready. If a university is going exist in this city the officials are going have to make allowances. So people car go downtown at night and shop becau: of all the kids crowding the sidewalk Well, | guess that’s one of the pric they are going to have to pay to ha ECU in their city.” “The problem here is in the wi expected crowds are dealt with,” adde Dr. Williams. “Normally, Halloween viewed by police everywhere as a kind ‘moral holiday’. Consequently there more lenient law enforcement etc keeping with the nature of the holid: itself. | believe that if the city would tal a more positive attitude towards tt university students and plan to mal allowances for such occasions < Halloween, it would be more enjoyab for everyone instead of turning into confrontation.” For final comment on Greenville latest downtown agitations, tt FOUNTAINHEAD turned to a man wt has been quite closely involved wi them: ChiefE.G. Cannon of the Greenvil City P.D. In consideration of tt professors’ ideas about city attitude Cannon stated that it’s the polic department's duty to adhere to ci ordinances. “Until we're told different! our job is to keep the streets open to fre traffic flow on all occasions, Hallowee See Analysis, page 13.

The Mall was still under construction this Halloween. Regardless of what has been and what is being done by the Student Government Association and Greenville City Manager Harry Hagerty, some students still believe that Halloween riots downtown will continue to happen. Among those who predict another riot is Ruffin Johnson. Johnson, who remembers the riot last Halloween, says he believes riots are becoming an annual event for the downtown. Sharing Johnson's view is Chubby Abshire who says “they're making Halloween riots a yearly thing. It’s like the Homecoming football game!” Unanswered questions concerning the Halloween riot in downtown Greenville still remain although many actions have already been taken to prevent such an incident in the future. “A lot of things were distorted from both points of view, so a lot of questions will remain unanswered,” said Ruffin Johnson, a graduate student in occupational therapy. “I would not blame either side.” Unlike Johnson, a majority of the twenty students interviewed blamed the police. Few students who did say the disturbance was partially the students’ fault asked to remain anonymous. All students were chosen at random. The concensus of the majority of students was that the police overreacted. “The disturbance was caused by an overreaction of the police,” said Ray RESTAURANT OPEN 24 HOURS Tyler, a senior political science major “The police caused the confusion when they began to disperse the crowd.” “The police used totally unwarranted measures which turned a basically benign crowd into an angry one,” said Barbara Mathews, who is a_- senior majoring in political science. “The police overreacted, but it wasn’t (Greenville Police Chief) Glenn Cannon's fault,” said John Prevette, an urban ana planning major. “It was a misunderstand- ing and everybody was at fault. But, the police compounded the problem by their actions.’ Contrary to Prevette, Erik Sieurin said he believes Cannon was _ totally responsible for the riot. Sieurin was working at one of the restaurants in the area Halloween night. Continued from page 12. included. We're aiso obiigated to protect life and property first and foremost. Sure, we would be glad to maybe rope off the downtown area on such nights as Halloween if that was what the city manager and council directed us to do. Those that feel this is what we should do need to go to the city officials and request it.” Cannon was also asked to comment on what he felt to be the differences between the disturbances of the sixties and those of recent years. “Essentially the same type people got them all started. There is always a relatively small group that get all of the rest stirred up enough to cause trouble. And there’s really nothing we can do about it except hope that those who don’t thinkthis kind of thing is going to do “lt think Cannon was irresponsible,” said Sieurin overstepped his bounds, and poor leadership ability.” completely “Cannon showed Agreeing with Sieurin incident was Cannon's fault English major Steve Miles “It was overreacted,’ sense of not show either.” Whether it was intended to be a preventive measure or not, some students feel the police were expecting trouble from ECU students Halloween night. Their attempts to prevent a riot is what caused the riot, according to some students.’ that the Is senior Cannon's fault - he said Miles. “He showed no nob or group control. He did any sense of judgement any good will get to the others and convince them of that.” As for the police department's attitude toward the students, Chief Cannon simply stated that “you can't judge the whole school by the few who cause trouble. | firmly believe that the majority of the ECU students are realiy fine citizens. None of this is going to change my personal attitude towards the university; | very highly support it and the students.” When asked his prediction for the same such future disturbances in Greenville, Chief Cannon expressed his idea that Greenville is in no danger because of “riots”. “I think the students, as weil as the city, are going to look forward and go forward.” FASHION FABRICS ‘Your sewing headquarters’ We carry a complete line of Fine Fabrics, from campus fads to formals to Bridesmaids Fabrics also a complete selection of all sewing notions and accessories.

In protest against desegregation policies of that county the group planned to march to Raleigh. Upon entering Greenville they were met by a formidable contingent of riot equipped police. Equipment then consisted of night sticks and military-is- sue gas grenades and gas masks that City Manager Harry Hagerty had procured from Ft. Bragg. A newspaper report said the police temporarily lost control of the situation but there were no arrests On Feb. 12, the group intended to march toward Farmvilie on the next leg of their journey. According to Henry Lawson, Greenville police chief at the time, this action would violate a city ordinance forbidding the blocking of traffic on public thoroughfares. The march began anyway and when police came with buses to haul the demonstrators to the city limits they sat down on the road. A photo in the Raleigh News and Observer showed police, wearing their hardhats, carrying a demonstrator to one of the buses. Two busloads were carried to the city limits. The march continued. There were no arrests, no injuries, and tear gas was not used, according to the newspaper account of the incident Today Greenville police are equipped with eight riot helmets with protective face shields, twelve plastic gas bombs that can be thrown by an officer but which melt in a few seconds and cannot be thrown back, one pepper fogger that sprays a smoke which may or may not contain an irritant, and a case that contains a firing device resembling a straight barreled blunderbuss, and several tear gas canisters that vary in size and weight All of this equipment was paid for by IRI DDD I RIAA DA DA He HI Can Help in all problems-business, marital, separation, love.

This attributed to ’s advantage at the free throw line 2 they hit seven of eight attempts. unt and Reggie Lee carried the as back, hitting from the inside and de, respectively. And, after regain- heir form and beginning offensive »ment for the first time in the game, irates fought back to within two at > uke kept its lead throughout but r got beyond the Pirates by more six points. Hodge maintained his racy from the inside (he was 6-9 for aif) and the remainder of the half stayed close with Duke's biggest lead at 22-16 at 10:51. Al Edwards got hot late in the half and his shooting from the outside and Hunt's several tip-ins allowed ECU to say in «contention. After the Pirates closed to within one with eight seconds remaining, an Armstrong jumper at the buzzer lifted the Duke team to its 37-34 advantage at the end of the half Although down only by three, the Pirates were left outrebounded 20-9 and left scoreless at the charity line where they never got a shot. If the first four minutes of the game were nearly disasterous for the Pirates, the opening minutes of the second half were certainly indicative of the outcome of the game. A Duke splurge in the opening minutes coupled with a series of Pirate turnovers left ECU outscored 17-2. Hodge continued his dominance from the inside and Armstrong began sinking corner jumpers as the duo connected for all 17 of the Blue Devil points. Although down by as many as 19 points at 55-36, the Pirates did not fold. Behind the perimeter shooting of Lee, Al Edwards, and Earl Garner, the Pirates put on a charge of their own with a surge alker chosen Athlete of he Month for November By Neil Sessoms Staff Writer Despite the trend keeping linemen the unheralded people on the gridiron, Fountainhead has chosen offensive d Jimbo Walker as November's ete of the Month.

He taught us technique and made us want to play well for him. People are starting to believe in coach Dye. No one says that’s not the way Sonny Randle would have done _ it anymore. People are getting into the Pat Dye way of footbai!.” When asked about next season’s team Walker commented, “Next year, look out. Almost everybody will be back and they're going to be hard to live with.” Walker also added that he thought ECU had the ability to play football in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

With Garner leading, ECU closed the gap to ten with six minutes left in the game. Duke then began to slow play with the score still at 75-65. The offensive effort came to a halt, however, with just over fou: minutes to be played in the game when foul trouble and a taller Duke team proved to be too much. When Larry Hunt picked up his fifth personal foul with 4:15 left, the Swimming Continued from page 16. practices a day, one at 6:45 and one at 3:15. The team swims 10,000 laps and works with weights daily,” commented coach Ray Scharf. Coach Scharf said he was pleased with the team’s performance so far this year. “The ten day lay-off at Thanksgiving hurt, but it did no permanent damage. | am pleased with the attitude of the team.We have a lot of people working hard that are going to break into the lineup; Tom McKenna, Barry McCarthy and freshman David Moodie, Joe Kushy, and John Pero to name a few.” “David Kirkman, Ross Bohiken, and Keith Wade are way ahead of their last year's times. Our 400 yard Relay time is three and a half seconds faster than last years. The whole team helps give us strength and depth.” The fact the Pirates do not have a full-time, paid diving coach has had a detrimental effect. Scharf commented on this deficiency. Pirates lost much of their and leading rebounder height Duke quickly took advantage and rushed to an 8972 margin before the subs took over with 1:30 remaining in the game Hodge and Armstrong led the Biue Devil team, combining for 57 points and 19 of their 45 total rebounds. Earl Garner led the Pirate scoring with 22 points “Diving is an entirely different sport than swimming. Since we lost our coach we've been weak in diving. In order to be competitive we need diving. Jack Morrow has been voluntarily helping with the divers but he is working and finishing school all at the same time.” Scharf stated the reason ECU does not have a diving coach is due to “administrative procedure.” There seems to be little doubt about the Pirates capturing the conference title this season, as they have done for the last nine, but according to Scharf, the conference is getting more competitive “The Southern Conference is getting a lot better. Richmona is stronger and the conference meet will be at home for them. Furman picked up a lot of good prospects from Florida. Other teams are beginning to close the gap.” As is the tradition, the team will spend eight days in Florida for workouts during the Christmas break.

As expected Men’s Intramural Basketball competition began last Monday ni with some very interesting performances. The well prepared team or individual \ indeed a rare sight during the first week of competition as the conglomerate red-faced, out-of-breath, semi-retired athletes trudged up and down the court. | Tl search of that illusive thing called glory. Among the more noteworthy performances was the team performance Aerosmith of the Residence Hal! Division in turning the week's high score ofi points against the Aycock Bouncers. The Belk Bucks also had a very fine performay: as they scored 76 points against the Aycock Jocks and rolled to the widest margir, victory (76-30) during the first week of play. A rec Outstanding individual performances were turned in by E.

Of course, ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins denied that this vote had taken place, ling the rumor “untrue” However, this writer after viewing Jenkins in conference with Jones on Saturday | ght at the basketball game, believes the report to be true, especially since Jenkins ‘s denied it. The importance of such a move by the Faculty Committee is hard to judge. First, noted by Jenkins, the committee acts more in an advisory position to the yancellor than it does a policy-making body. For this reason, the vote may simply : a token expression. On the other hand, if the reports are true, it would mark the first time that a mpus faculty or non-student organization has come out in favor of such a move. ie move has been discussed for some time, but no action has even been taken on e issue. Now, it seems the Faculty Committee, which is chaired by Clifton Moore, is done this. As for the position this writer holds concerning East Carolina leaving the bnference, | am split. If the idea is for the school to join the Atiantic Coast onference, then maybe the parties involved should reconsider, for the ACC isstill a r-away goal for East Carolina. That would leave only two more routes for the school to follow. The first would » to go on an independent basis and the second would be for the Pirate athletic ams to get involved with some other schools in a brand new conference. There has been talk that Richmond, which leaves the conference as of June 1, tempting to form a new conference and that ECU has been included in such ei | The current word from the conference meetings last week are that the application Western Carolina, as well as other schools, would be considered at the May eeting of the conference Athletic Directors and officials. To let Western Carolina in the conference, or any of the other teams which have xen mentioned, would certainly degrade the conference and raise the question as to nere the conference was going. But, it seems inevitable that Western Carolina will 2 admitted to the conference sooner or later. A decision as to ECU's future, therefore, needs to be made one way or another. opefully, the Faculty Committee on Athletics has started the ball rolling. That is, if e rumors which have been circulating are true, and this writer believes they are. For now, though, East Carolina belongs in the Southern Conference until a specific © plan has been drawn up to outline the plusses and minuses involved in e matter. And it is time for the powers-to-be to quit playing politics with East Carolina's tentions and get the ball rolling. CHEERING SECTION TO BE STARTED East Carolina’s basketball team returned home Saturday and was able to omplish a feat it failed to accomplish on four road games—that is, to win a game. And the fans played a major role in the accomplishment of the feat—-by virtue of their pro-ECU cheers and boisterousness. The effect was so great that a special student cheering section will be started right yehind the Pirate bench. This section is for those fans who really want to raise hell ind cheer for the basketball Pirates. Only those fans who want to raise hell are requested to sit here. Any fan who may e a bit shy about boistering his/her opinion should try and sit elsewhere. That is, he first-string hell-raisers in the lower section behind the bench and _ all second-stringers to sit in the upper deck. It would be nice if everyone came ready to aise pure recklessness. The Pirate team really needs the support of the fans in backing them-—-as was so »vident by the way the crowd seemed to pick up the team Saturday. Come on out to Minges Thursday night and watch the F .ates raise hell against JNC-Wilmington. While you're there, try sitting behind the Pirate bench and raising some hell yourself. F The women's basketball team will L A hold their Purple-Gold scrimmage Tuesday night at 7:00 in Minges SH Coliseum. The game will be free to the public. FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 7, NO. 23/16 DECEMBER 1975 ] ° Track qualifies three for NCAA National meet LEXINGTON, VA.- Operating without four requiars, the East Carolina indoor track served notice to its’ future opposition by sweeping a field of seven in the first meet of the year for the team. While Carter ee Maurice Huntley, Charlie Moss and | Duckenfield were not participating, three other ECU men qualified for the National NCAA events in this first meet. Leading the way was sophomore Larry Austin, who ran a 6.1 qualifying for the 60-yard dash. The time tied the VMi Field House record for the event. Donnie Mack's 6.1 in the semifinals of the same event also qualified him for the Nationals, although his 6.2 time in the finals put him second in that event behind Austin. The third NCAA qualifier for ECU was 60-yard high hurdier Marvin Rankins. Rankins ran a 7.2 in the event, the second best time in the VMI Field House record book. Besides Austin and Rankins, East Carolina had five other winners. Tom Watson won the Shot Put, with a toss of 51-7; George Jackson took the long jump with a performance of 22 feet, 4 inches, Herman Mcintyre won the triple jump with a total of 49 feet, three inches; Robert Franklin was the 440 champ with a time of 51.7; Ben Duckenfield took the 600-yard event at 1:13.6. But East Carolina was shut out in the pole vault, the mile rélay, the 1,000 yard run, the two-mile run and the mile run. These are ail events which Carson anticipated would be weak areas for the Pirates. Several Pirates placed in other events besides the winning performers. They were:Watson, second in the 35-pound weight throw; Mike Harris, second, in the shot put; Willie Harvey, third, in the long jump; Curt Dowdy, fourth, in the long jump; Al McCrimmons, second, in the high jump; Keith Aliamong, third, in the high jump; Charles Daugherty, fifth, in the high jump Jackson, second, in the triple jump; Mike Hodge, fourth, in the tripie jump; Kevin Alston, fourth, in the 60-yard dash; Sam Phillips, second, in the 60-yard high hurdies; James Freeman, second in the 440; Al Washington, fourth, in the 440; Bill White, fifth, in the 600; Jim Willett, second, in the 880; and Jim Green, third, in the 880. The ECU two-mile relay team placed fifth For the meet ECU scored 93 points, with seven wins. Richmond finished second with40 1/2winning four events. Appalachian won three events for 40 points and third. Virginia won two events and finished fifth with 9541/2 , behind host VMI’s 39 points.
