10 Circulation Tt T CAROLINA UNIVERSITY 2 {EENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA SGA Budget total is $100,000 A budget report compiled Wednesday by Student Government Association Treasurer Larry Chesson sets the current treasury surplus at $10,304.09: This figure seems to indicate that the treasury report made to the SGA Legislature in December set the surplus $95,000 less than the actual amount Chesson told the SGA legislature a the Dec. 8 session that in the course of presenting the revised budget he had discovered an error of nearly $100,000 in the surplus figure Chesson said the SGA financial advisor, Dr. Jack Thornton, and the ECU Internal auditor, Robert Edwards, both agreed that an error had been made in calculating the surplus figure In an investigation by the SGA Appropriations Committee which follo- wed the December report, the committee cited a “lack of effort by the treasurer to consult advisers who might have found the error,” and found “the figures released by the SGA Office before, during, and after the budget error were always correct. The error came about when those correct figures she (Secretary of the Student Fund Accounting Office) gave out were confused and added incorrectly.” In the course of compiling the most recent budget report Chesson said the figures indicated the SGA budget to be several thousand dollars in the red Chesson and Dr. Thornton determined that the original error was in the December report and not earlier and that the current surplus was over $100,000. That error was evidently caused by subtracting total appropriations from total revenues, including anticipated receipts, for the 1975-76 year without taking into account that portions of many appropriations had already been made, according to Chesson When asked why the Appropriations Committee did not discover the error during its investigation, Chairman Craig Hales said, “it is not the job of the committee to audit the books.” SGA Report censors Treasurer Editors Note: The following conclusions and recommendations were made by the Appropriations Committee conceming the SGA budget error of December 8, 1975. The SGA voted last Monday to accept the report CONCLUSIONS 1. The error made was simple, and easy to make, but could have been caught sooner if more diligence had been shown and if he had used his advisers more often 2. While the major error was made by the Treasurer and he has admitted his fault the financial adviser should also have shown more responsibility in his duties 3. There is nothing wrong with the system of accounting presently used The problem was one of human origin With the financial adviser, the auditor and the bookkeeping system now used, a Treasurer could complete his job with no major stumbling blocks 4. As cited above, the system is not at fault. The possibility of human error is however, and certain con- Ie can be reached. One point which can be rendered from the facts of this case is that a new way to select a be found to better and bookkeeping Treasurer should insure economic qualifications 5. The fact that the SGA Legislature acted on wrong information for so long, with such bad results, shows a need for the Legislative and Executive branches to work more closely together in the future RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The SGA Treasurer's position should, in the future, be chosen in some way other than the present system, preferably with a Strict screening process. 2. Larry Chesson, the SGA Treasurer sshould be officially censored by the legislature for the major budget error 3. The current Treasurer should work much more closely with the Legislature's Appropriation Committee for the remain- der of his term of office 4. The Treasurer's office, in coordination with the Appropriations Committee, should issue a detailed monthly report, as well as “fly sheets” every two weeks, for the remainder of his term of office 5. The Treasurer should work more closely with those technical advisers at his disposal, namely Dr. Thornton and Mr. Edwards. ry | TROY PATE [right] of Goldsboro, chairman of the ECU Boara of trustees and Chancellor Leo Jenkins present an appreciation plaque, recently, to former ECU Trustees chairman Robert L.

Phone hike hurts blind By KENNETH CAMPBELL Assistant News Editor “Directory assistance rates going up, that’s crazy,” exclaimed blind ECU student James Burke when he heard of the new charge for directory assistance calls. “All | could think is ‘this is crazy’. It is one of only a few ways | have of Jooking up numbers.” ‘Sure friends and even strangers are around sometimes to help look up numbers,” said Linda Butler who is also blind. “But these are times when directory assistance is almost a With the help of friends, strangers, and memorization, Linda says she thinks five calls a month may be sufficient However, Lou Mendenhall, a blind ECU grad student, said she thinks five directory assistance calls are not nearly enough for blind people who are not students ‘I'm really not affected by the charge now,” she explained. “But, | think blind people who live alone, and blind people who work are adversely affected by it now “Consequently, when | get a job, then | will also be affected by the charge.” Fortunately for Linda, Lou, James and other blind students, the North Carolina Utilities Commission recently ordered that blind people and some handicapped people be exempt from the directory assistance charge. “We originally asked for an exemption for blind and handicapped people,” said Frank Havens a district traffic manager for the local Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company ‘The Utilities Commission, abiding by the letter of the law, said we could not do anything for the blind and the handicapped “But, Thursday (January 8), the Commission changed its mind and ordered that the phone companies exempt blind and handicapped persons from the directory assistance charge.’ The decision probably went unnoticed by most of the campus community, but blind students, James, Linda Butler, and Lou Mendenhall! did more than notice the decision, they welcomed the telephone back into their daily lives. ‘| was glad when | heard the new decision,” said Lou. “It was just what | wanted.” It was just what Carolina Telephone and Telegraph and Southern Bell Telephone companies wanted also, but it took them about a month to get the favorable ruling from the Utilities Commission “The Commission did not give a short and sweet reason for making the exemptions,” said Charles Land, oper- ations engineer at the Utilities Commission in Raleigh. “They just stated that charges shall not be made applicable to those people who are blind or handicapped.” “I think the Commission was satisfied with the original order because it was the letter of the law,” said Frank Havens. “In its new decision, the Commission is not going by the letter of the law, but by the spirit of the law. The directory assistance charge is not to gain revenue but to cut down on unnecessary work.” But, regardiess of the Commission's reason for changing its order, blind and handicapped students are not further handicapped by the phone company's attempt to provide everyone better and more economical service. “It's good if they can do it,’ Burke. Indeed the phone companies can do it, according to Havens. To be eligible for an exemption, a blind or handicapped person must contact the business office, fill out an application and submit a certification of blindness said When calling directory assistance, the exempted person will be treated the same as others. But when the telephone bilis are made out (in Tarboro), all directory assistance calls made from his phone will not be charged pena necetnnntetnset aaa eae Gl, FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 7, NO. 28/15 JANUARY 1976 Ediitorials/Commentary Forum rules defended A letter in today’s Forum questions new rules established recently for .etters to the paper. Others have also raised questions about new policies which require letter writers to have both name and address printed on letters appearing in the paper. While we don’t usually believe it is good newspaper policy to respond to letters in the Forum, a few comments of explanation may be appropriate. A new Forum policy was established only after students had taken advantage of past Forum policies which required practically no proof of identity of letter writers. In reality the paper is sitting on a proverbial time bomb only waiting for someone to slip in a letter dealing with a controversial subject bearing a fake name, or worse yet, a very real name that belongs to someone else. Just such an event happened in the last paper before Christmas break. The letter was controversial enough dealing with homosexuality and it also bore a forged name. Legally the paper was over a barrel, but the ECU student whose name was forged did not press the point. We got off easy this time but next time the paper might not be so lucky. The newspaper is liable for anything printed in the paper so we must exercise some control over not what is printed but that in the case of the Forum proper identity is given to all letter writers. To try and insure that another case of forgery does not occur we have started requesting writers to include addresses along with names. Through the address we can verify signatures on controversial letters. The new policy is not designed to stifle the free expression of opinion by ECU students. Nor, do we believe the policy is against the best interest of the majority of ECU students. The new policy is only aimed at protecting both the paper by giving us a means of verifying the authenticity of a letter and at the same time to protect students who have similar names, or students who might be the target of a forged letter. We have included in the new policy a protection clause for students who feel that signing their name and address to a letter would be of dire consequence to them. A student can make a personal appeal to the paper to have their name and address withheld. Again, the new guidelines are not meant to stop letters to the paper. In fact, we hope that more students will let us know how they feel through a letter. But, to protect ourselves and we think the students we serve, we must adhere to some stricter Forum rules. This is not something we want to do. In fact, we realize that we may not get some letters now that perhaps before, without the address clause, we would have received. But, the paper was forced into this new policy. “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government withoui newspapers, or newspapers without government, | should not hesitate a moment ‘o 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 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 Government Association of ECU and appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the school ye".

Thomas Jefferson RESOLUTION THAT IL WObID NOT DRINK ANY more ++ - THAN T DID LAST YEAR. Pub Board independence Efforts by the Publications Board to seek financial independence from the Student Government Association is long overdue on campus. ; At least this year a Pub Board with enough interest and energy has decided to take the faithful plunge and look into the possibilities of the campus publications going the same route as the Student Union and breaking away from the SGA. The Union made the move several years ago and hopefully the Pub Board can pull off the same trick in the not too distant future. At the present time campus publications are funded by the SGA with student activity fees. The Pub Board would like to have student fees passed directly to them each year instead of going to the SGA first. Under such a plan the Pub Board would be guaranteed a certain fee per student each quarter and from that tally the Pub Board would allocate funds to the various publications. An independent Pub Board would not be left to the whims of the SGA or its executive. Independence would give campus publications a better chance of planning budgets and projects over long periods of time as opposed to the present operation which calls for publications to come hat in hand to the SGA for money. But, more than anything else, independence from the SGA would give campus publications a chance to operate independent of outside pressure which is a form of censorship when you get down to it. Having to play political “footsie” with the SGA is not the most conducive thing to independent reporting. It will no doubt be a tough fight to break from the SGA. But hopefully one that the Pub Board will win. An independent Pub Board would be without a doubt, the best step to improve operations of campus publications.

Mr. Taylors schoolmarmish quip about “the new standards” of the Forum policy which appeared there in the 8 January issue has served to remind me that student editors are journalistic apparitions which have more in common with frightened autocrats than with the defenders of free speech and the unrestricted exchange of opinion. Moreover, | cannot help but think (if such is allowed under Forum policy) that these newly installed silencers tagged on to the Forum policy are not in the best interest of the majority of people who attend this university. Requiring submissions to be accom panied by an individual’s name as well as his address should not be tolerated by those of us who consider the public" forum for debate to be the very epitome of democracy. To strangle that flow of discourse with exaggerated and extreme restraints such as those imposed recently Union boss seeks female applicants To Fountainhead: OK, Ladies! It’s time to wake up to the fact that we need to start assuming more responsibility for the way things are run on this campus. Our place is not, | repeat, not, in the dorm room. Although there are obvious obstacles hindering progress to certain high positions on this campus we need not be complacent about it Right now there is a_ golden opportunity for some ambitious, hard- working, interested woman to step into one of the top positions at ECU—that of Student Union President. The only requirements are abililty to work well with people, to organize and maintain a large staff, to assume a large responsibility, and be sincerely dedicated to promoting the best interests of the students in entertainment If you like to spend money-—your name would go on over 1/4 million dollars worth in a year. If you like socializing and travel--those are some fringe benefits. If you enjoy entertain- ment of all sorts from soap box derbies to theater productions to pop concerts— you would be in a position to encourage them and see that the show does go on. If you thrive on responsibility and hard work--well--this job has plenty of that too, but it is never routine nor dull. The Student Union President is SELECTED by the Union Board of Directors on qualifications not age, sex, campaign ability, etc. If you are a woman of worth this is your chance to prove it and take over the leadership of a fast growing organization which is a model of envy to most schools across the entire country. Yes, the Union here is unique and quite admired and respected across the country. Madame President of the future | salute you for stepping out and assuming such an important role. To date there are only a few male applicants. So examine your qualities as a woman of leadership and give those men a tough run for the money. You owe it to yourself as a woman and to the too long male dominated students at ECU. Diane Taylor Student Union President 110-A Baker Street 1.D. No. 723033 P.S.

This. will become evident when one considers that printing both the name and address of a writer increases that writers chance of being directly contacted by any one of perhaps thousands of readers.

All of this information will then be printed at the end of each letter. Fountainhead will, upon personal request from a letter writer, withhold a name from publication for good reason. But, the name of the letter writer will be on file in the Editor's office and will be available upon request to any student. All requests for withholding a name must be made in person to the Editor. Any letters received without this information will be held until the letter writer complies with the new policy. Fountainhead invites the stuaents, faculty and staff of ECU to present their opinions and beliefs in the Forum. And we have a practically no holes barred attitude about what is presented in this section. But, we do ask one thing. Please, if you have something to say in Our paper, sign your name and not someone else's. cautious when one senses danger. Of course, Mr. Taylor must have a comfortably fat sack of justifications for such an outlandish Forum policy, so reminiscent of the Berlin papers of 1934, not the least of which is sure to be the old cliche: “Honesty and a true heart never need a hiding place.” Unfortunately for Mr. Taylor, such jusitifcations are off the point. There is an occasional madman among us and, under no conditions that | can conjure up, excepting Utopias and the like, should an individual be required to sacrifice his privacy and perhaps his safety in order to speak freely Yet, | am _ fully aware that Fountainhead risks the possibility of a law suit on charges of libel. For this reason, it is sensible and prudent to require signatures accompanying letters to the Forum. Honest and true-hearted writers should not be afraid to be identified with their opinions. But | am also aware that the American Newspaper is still very much a sacred cow in the Democratic ideal and practically immune, except in extreme instances, to legal jeopardy. Still, there are indications that Mr. Taylor is not a completely ridiculous man. In a final gesture of ironic-blind- ness, Mr. Taylor, the editor in steel shorts, failed to suppy us with his address. Tsk, Tsk, Mr. Taylor, this is the Forum...in a brown shirt. Signed, Marvin Hunt Box 122, Austin Building Campus Real author to letter sought To Fountainhead | was rather chagrined to find out that the letter on homosexuality was written by someone who did not use his own name. Why did this person use a false name on such a thoughtfully written letter? Was it because he was playing a “game,” was he ashamed to admit publically under his own name that he was a homosexual, or was there some other reason? For whatever reason or reasons, the deed was done. But, that does not negate the comments and thoughts presented by our anonymous author. Before Christmas, | had written a reply to this letter. | feel that my comments are still appropriate, but | wish that | know to whom my comments were directed. | sincerely hope that the author of that letter will step forward and claim his handiwork. It was a beautifully written letter. Perhaps you might still print my original letter with this as a forward to it. A Rise Long 1.D.

Jeffereys. “This makes it economically profitable to develop areas that were at one time not profitable. This has created tremendous nressure for wilderness areas.” Dr. Vincent J. Bellis and Dr. Jeffereys attended a symposium on the Endanger- ed and Threatened Biota of North Carolina Nov. 7 and 8 at Meredith College in Raleigh. The symposium was sponsored by the North Carolina State Museum of Natural History. “There are two direct applications of the symposium,” said Dr. Bellis. “One is to develop an endangered species list for N.C. legislators to use in formulating a bill to protect endangered species. The other is to use the list for federal environmental impact statements. “One of the major questions of the symposium was to define what is an endangered species,” said Bellis. “Is it a species only endangered in Pitt County, in N.C. or worldwide?” r > | Sm ip) K2 HAPPY HR FRI 3-7 Jan. 22- TAMERLANE GREENVILLES COMPETION BEGINNING THURS.

There may be some in S.C. Many are collected in violation of the law. There are enforcement problems in proving where the plants were collected. “Better regulation is needed. The Venus Flytrap is not in danger now, but could be, if regulations are not enforced.” “One of the major problems of biologists is to justify the saving of a species,” said Dr. Bellis. “These questions of importance and preservation of a species will have to be solved in the next few years.” “Large areas of swamp-lands and forests are being cleared in eastem N.C. for food production,” said Dr. Jeffereys. “We cannot know what potential benefit an organism has if it becomes extinct and is gone forever. “The aesthetic value is another reason, the world is poorer for the loss.

Its services will be available for the Greenville community and the eastern region of North Carolina An Analysis The genesis of the EGA began in September, 1975, when several indivi- duals combined their energies to unite those who are concerned about gay rights into a cohesive effort. That effort has materialized into an organization composed of dedicated individuals who are working to elevate eastern North Carolina’s consciousness of its Own gay community — | | Incredibly Clear, \ Rich, Natural | \\ Sound Introducing THE WEDGE from Zenith The WEDGE - Mode!

The objectives declare assistance in the identification and solving of problems created by anti-gay prejudice, create specific strategies for achieving progress in the recognition of gay rights, and encourage gay people to express their true personality and sexuality honestly but not to flaunt themselves in a deliberate or antagonistic manner. “We are not asking anybody to give us rights,” says Bob Mariner, EGA Coordinator, “these are our rights. What we are asking for is recognition that these are our rights.” Mariner, together with Kirby Smith as Secretary and Judi Willis as Treasurer, maintain EGA headquarters at 1107 Evans Street. At this residence members of the EGA congregate each Sunday night to hold business meetings and to plan mature strategies to achieve their purposes. The Media Committee fre quently offers those who attend educational material concerning homo- sexuality The meetings strive to communicate to its members not only issues and information Conerning the Greenville area but related events that are happening FM Muting, toggle switches and advanced new styling.

Phone 744-4021 & Appliance oe throughout the nation. “I think that an important function of the EGA is to acquaint Greenville gays with things that are going on elsewhere,” Mariner added. “The EGA strives to increase a (positive) sense of the gay community not just among those gays who happen to live in this area, but with gays who are working for the common cause wherever they are." To distribute information about its progress and activities in the gay community, the EGA publishes and circulates the EGA Newsletter. This monthly release, which displays the Lambda sign (or gay symbol) on its logo, highlights current gay related events on a local, state, and national scale, includes book and film reviews, publicizes the EGA monthly calendar of events and advises EGA affiliates on rights, and recognition procedures The newsletter was especially instrumental in recruiting response and protest to the Federal Communications Commission that involved a Greenville radio station (WGNL). The EGA became alarmed when it discovered that anti-gay bigotry had been perpetrated on that radio station. A certain disc jocky had interrupted a record to interject that “if you're gay, you're sick!” This verbal contempt was monitored by several gay persons who reported the event to the EGA. Irritated and upset individuals phoned the station protesting the incident-but to no avail. The EGA Newsletter then began a letter writing campaign to the FCC and _ state congressmen. This action eventually led to the removal of that DJ from the station's staff The EGA has acquired a telephone which they hope will be used by persons who desire information or advice. The EGA telephone number is 758-2338. “We hope we will receive calls from gays when they're in trouble,” says Smith.

Smith made it explicit that “if we did get a call that we could not handle, that exceeded our limitations, we would immediately refer that person to a more qualified service.” Although the EGA phone will not serve the purpose of a counseling line, Greenville's crisis intervention center, REAL, has incorporated the EGA in its lists of referral services. “It helps a gay person to have a number that he can call where he can get an empathetic response from another gay, particularly if he is troubled,” Smith added. Bob Mariner stated that the use of the term ‘gay’ in the organization's title denotes the EGA’s politically activist nature. “The EGA is not solely for gay people. Instead, it is for anyone concerned with gay’s rights and the cause of human liberation. Although we encourage an honest expression of gay sexuality, we do not dictate the sexual preferences of our members. We have members who do not’ consider themselves gay.” In seeking to accomplish its objective of abolishing anti-gay bigotry, the activist EGA also plays an integral role in the vast network of gay activist groups that span our nation. Gay political activism is alive and well. Persons well versed in the chronology of the gay liberation movement recall with dignity that humid June night in 1969 when New York City Police raided the Stonewall, a gay bar on Christopher Street. Although the police were expecting passive resistance, the foray was surprisingly overthrown by the huge number of irate gays. For the first time gays fought back and the three days of marches, protests and demonstrations that ensued spread gay pride throughout the country. Thus, ‘Gay Liberation’ has become the battle cry. The fight is not in the streets, however, but in the courtrooms and legislatures of our nation. Politicians in many areas actively seek the vote of the gay community; in San Francisco they must consider the gay vote; police and gay leaders estimate that 100,000 of the total 715,000 residents are gay. And if it seems that it will require gay people to pass gay legislation, the trend may be on the way. In 1974, Elaine Noble, a known Lesbian, was elected to the Massachu- setts Legislature To date there are approximately 20 cities, including Washington and San Francisco that have adopted gay rights laws. Chapel Hill, N.C. recently gained notoriety when the city added a clause that would respect ‘‘affectional preference or marital status” to its list of anti-discrimination provisions being pla- ced in the town's personnel ordinance Eleven states have removed penalties aginst homosexuals from their codes Still, the civil rights issue is under heated contention. Seven states have had bills introduced that would legally give sivil rights to gays but as yet none have passed. These bills are important because of the job discrimination and ostracism from organizations that still threaten gay people. The EGA continues to publicize itself most effectively via speaking engage- ments with various groups. They have encountered favorable response from’ several ECU and Pitt Technical Institute classrooms. Such discussions have provoked various positions on the issue of homosexuality—its social, moral and religious implications EGA officials have urged persons with an appetitie for such information to seek out the literature available at their headquarters or with the Pitt County Information Service.

Godwin is a drama major and has made various attempts at playwriting over the past years. “It’s Magic, Cinderella” is the first of his plays to be completed and produced on stage. The play originated with the Lost Colony Children’s Theater, N.C., this past summer and has been done at the Theatre in the Park in Raleigh, N.C. and the Dungeon Theatre at Huntingdon College, Montgomery, Alabama. After all three of the past productions, “It's Magic, Cinderella” has received exceptionally good reviews. When asked to what he attributed the success of the play, Godwin replied, “It’s fun. It has something for everyone; Moms and Dads can come with their kids to see the show and all enjoy it. There's a certain kind of ‘magic’ about it, | guess. It’s simple, not overbearing. And it doesn’t require anything from anybody. “It shows magic only as magic exists in people themselves, or rather, how much they can let themselves believe. The cast has fun with it and that fun brushes off on the audience.” As mentioned before, the play premiered this past summer at the Lost Colony Children’s Theatre where Godwin was a member of the Lost Colony cast The Colony does a Children’s Theatre production every year aS a community contribution for Manteo The director of the Children’s Theatre was writing a play based on the original “Cinderella”, according to Godwin. But after five days of attempting to write it while in the process of rehearsals, the director realized that that particular strategy wasn’t going to work A friend of Godwin’s suggested to the director that he (Godwin) write the play for them. “It took me about two or three days to do it,” said Godwin. “| used the classic fairy tale as the ‘thread’ around which to weave the pure magic of the theater.” So what's a children’s show doing at ECU? “Yes, it is a children’s show, MICK GODWIN basically, said Godwin. “But when does anyone ‘grow up’? When do we become so adult that we reject childish humor? When do we shoot Bambi! “As a ten year old member of The Colony cast put it, ‘It's good because it doesn't have any of that old sickening fairy tale stuff in it!’ You can’t fool kids anymore. They know there’s no such thing as the ‘wicked witch of the west,’ etc. They are exposed to real people and situations so much. And they'll detect lying to them in an instant. “So this show doesn’t try to fool them. It's ‘magic’ in the way that theatre itself is ‘magic.’ We just want to have a good time. And all we ask is that the audience believe with us for this brief moment. The audience is, in a sense, part of the show. The link between the audience and the cast is found in a character called, ‘Peter Parkington Pumpkin.” “Peter Parkington Pumpkin is a pumpkin first, part of the audience second, and a member of the cast third,” said Godwin. ‘He more or less introduces the story, and your belief in the play hinges on your belief in Peter Parkington Pumpkin. “If you allow yourself to believe a pumpkin has arms and legs and talks, you can believe a fairy godmother appears from Miami, and you can believe rats can tap-dance!”’ The musical score for “It's Magic, Cinderella” is also original. It was written this summer by another member of the Lost Colony cast, Terrence V. Mann “The music is marvelous and exciting,” said Godwin. “There's that certain touch of ‘magic’ about it, too.” The production of the play to be done here this weekend is an_ all-student production, including costume, set and lighting design. Rodney B. Freeze is doing choreography. Godwin is directing. The playwright/director expressed a desire to continue writing for the stage He is now working on another children’s play but intends to “settle down and do more serious stuff in the future.” As a final note, Mick Godwin added, There was no need to re-tell the story of ‘Cinderella’ everyone already knows it But after you've seen “It's Magic, Cinderella,” you'll wonder whether you've really seen the fairy tale at all!’ ites lately, the sh paying 1976.

Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company (CT&T) began announcing its new policy on Dec. 10. It's provisions allow each customer five free directory- assistance calls per billing month, with a twenty cents charge for each additional request. This includes calls for local information and for long-distance assistance within the home area code. CT&T officials defend the measure on several grounds. It is intended to reduce the heavy volume of calls to directory assistance, cut operating costs, and shift the burden of payment for this service to those who use and abuse it most. CT&T Greenville District Traffic Manager, J.F. Havens, Jr., said that this policy was not designed to raise revenue. “This new system is intended to reduce the volume of calls we receive, so little revenue is expected,” said Havens. “Less than ten percent of our customers should be billed.” Havens also said the new charaing policy should induce people to use their directories correctly. District Commerciai Manager Don A. Collier said CT&T spends more than $35,000 annually to print 64,000 directories for Greenville. The general response so far has not been favorable, which Havens attributed to the company’s failure to inform the public about the new policy. CT&T operators were instructed to record customer comments. Although some termed the new measure understandable in light of present economic conditions, others called it “outrageous, disgust- ing’, and “a rip off”. One irate customer declared, “Lots of people don't like this company because it is a monopoly and that is the reason for sabotaging the company and more of it is going to happen if the company starts charging for directory assistance.” Collier reported that there had been a threat to picket the Fayetteville office if the new charge were put into effect. Public response would probably have been more favorable but CT&T made known its impressive volume of statistics compiled to support the new policy. For example, figures cited in a circular to company employees show that, on an average day in 1974, CT&T operators handled 54,300 local information calls, 74 percent of which were listed in the public directory. Eight percent of the customers were responsible for 51 percent of the requests and two percent for 27 percent of the calls. The volume of calls is up 98 percent since 1964, while the number of customers has increased only 84 percent The same circular to employees cited CT&T researach to determine an allowance figure that would permit customers to obtain without charge listings not in the public directory. These figures show that 83 percent of the customers in Fayetteville made five calls or less per month; in Rocky Mount, 88 percent; in Henderson, 91 percent; and in Williamston, 96 percent No such study was made in Greenville or any other university town The North Carolina Utilities Commis- sion prompted a study of the practicality of directory assistance charging while reviewing CT&Ts request for a rate increase last summer. The commission's findings paralleled those of the later CT&T study. Charles D. Land, the commission’s telephone engineer, testified before the hearing that the directory assistance service charge accounted for 3 cents per month. Land reported that 50.8 percent of all intormation calls were made by 9 1/2 percent of the customers. He said 71 percent of the subscribers made less than four such calls per month and were responsible for only 21 percent of the inquiries to directory assistance. He recommended an allowance of three free calls per month. Land testified that the Cincinnati Bell Company, which instituted the first such service charge in March, 1974, experienced an 82 percent reduction of directory assistance calls The commission concluded at the hearing that “requests for directory information are an identifiable cost which should be borne by those causing the expense.” It cited a high number of unnecessary calls for information and termed these “a burden on the general body of telephone rate payers and a hindrance in keeping basic charges for service as low as possible.” The commission informed CT&T it could expect a 60 percent reduction in directory assistance calls, resulting in a reduction of $564,314 in local expenses, and $153,345 in revenue produced. The most common objection among Greenville subscribers has been that it is unfair to pay for securing numbers from directory assistance which are not in the public directory. Such listings are of course very numerous in a college town such as Greenville with a mobile population. This problem is magnified by CT&T’s practice of publishing its directories in August, before most students return However, a student directory has now been compiled by the university Women's Residence Council (WRC) and the Men’s Residence Council (MRC) at a cost of $600 to each organization. This was in the works prior to the telephone company’s announcement of its new service charge, according to Dean Nancy J NOW SERVING PIZZA ALONG A WITH EVERYTHING ELSE!

Dean Smith was not sure that the student directory was practical as an annual service “This is just too big a job for the university staff,” said Dean Smith. “If we do this again, we must have professional outside help.” The problem may be compounded next fall when students must call directory assistance to get a new years set of phone listings. ‘| believe this is the way of the future,” said Havens. “In time, all telephone systems will adopt some sort of directory charging.” The Wonderful Wacky World Of '62 America’s Favorite Of The’70s Features Fri. -7:10-9:00 Sat.-Sun.- 1:30-3:25 5:15-7:10 9:00 Starring One Reason Is The Barefoot Sock T Hop In The School Gymnasium!

Inspired by the watercolors of Edward Reep, a member of the ECU School of Art faculty, the Student Union Art Exhibition Committee has aligned the artist and works with the filmmakers and film to come together in this unique celebration. The images on display represent the majority of the paintings used in the preparation of that film, whose title was drawn from the book, THE CONTENT OF WATERCOLOR, authored by Mr. Reep and published in 1968. In February, 1976, Ed Reep will be exhibiting 40 of his oils, watercolors, and drawings in the lower galleries of the Greenville Art Center. All of the work will have been selected from his efforts over the past five years, or his tenure at East Carolina. The majority of the paintings mounted here at Mendenhall will be a part of the forthcoming exhibition at the Greenville Art Center. It is unfortunate that there is not enough space here to list the numerous one-man shows, awards, and accom plishments of the artist, Edward Reep Witness here then, in this event, a precious portion of the great river of energy that colors Mr. Reep’s world Shall we say, “Dive deep into the river Reep!”” The show will run from January 19 to January 31, 1976. THE FILM The film, “The Content of Watercolor, is the work of Messrs. Robert Rasch and Henry Stindt, both faculty members of the Communications Arts Department of the ECU School of Art. The movie is a twenty-two minute full-color exploration into the world of watercolor, avoiding the “how-to-do-it's” of typical excursions on the subiect. The film does not proclaim a “magic-success formula” for painting. And most of al! the film is not about a “thing”, it involves the process: the explorations, investigations, actions, reactions, and harmonies in the complex relationship between a human being, Reep, and his “vehicle” of expression. The vehicle. watercolor, is presented here in its “content”: the “alive-ness” (or spirit, if you prefer) of the medium in many of its elaborate Situations. It sings. He sings. The camera of Rasch and Stindt focuses on the heart of the matter. Music for the film was created by ECU School of Music faculty member, Dr. Otto Henry, well known for his electronic compositions and performing virtuosity. The musical engineer was Wade Hobgood, a graduate student in the Art Department. Previous to local and national distribution, the film will premier at 8 p.m., on the night of the reception, Wednesday, January 21, 1976, in Mendenhall theatre for one showing only. A reception to honor the artist, Edward Reep, filmmakers, Bob Rasch and Henry Stindt, and music director, Otto Henry, will be held at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, January 21, 1976, in the Gallery on the night of the film premiere {second floor Mendenhall). Refreshments will be served and served and served. All students and faculty and public are cordially invited.

Musicians, singers, dancers and tech- nicians are especially needed to entertain visitors at the park, located 20 miles north of Richmond on Interstate 95 Talent auditions will be held at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem on Wednesday, January 21. The “open call” audition, requiring no advance registration, will be conducted between 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m Kings Productions, the unit responsi- ble for live shows at Kings Dominion and two other major theme parks in Ohio and the Carolinas, has announced that more than 500 entertainers will be selected through the audition process. The ‘sister’ parks are Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Carowinds, on the North Carolina/South Carolina boundary near Charlotte. During auditions, Kings Dominion will be looking for “the most professional performers and technicians available,” according to Jeff Smith, director of live shows at the family entertainment center and a member of the auditioning team now scouting the entire mid-Atlantic region “Another consideration is finding people who can work the early spring weekends,” Smith says. “In live shows, this is especially important, since rehearsals and familiarization tours must be conducted in advance of the park's opening.” A salary range of $115-160 per week will be paid those selected through auditions, he adds, and successful applicants will be notified by the end of February.

Tudor won the 200 freestyle with a meet record time of; 48.32 and the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:58.63. In the 500 freestyle, Tudor was swimming unofficially, so ECU was not awarded first-place points This was also the case with the 400 freestyle relay, where the best ECU team finished in 3:21.6. In both the 500 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay, Richmond placed first because of ECU's unofficial participation Meet records set by the Pirates were fashioned by freshman Doug Brindley in the 1,000 freestyle, Tudor in the 200 and 500 freestyle events, John McCauley in the 50 freestyle, Stewart Mann in the 200 butterfly, Ross Bohlken in the 100 freestyle and Joe Kushy, another freshman, in the 200 breaststroke. Mann’s time of 2:02.22 in the 200 butterfly also set a freshman record for the Pirates In nearly every event, ECU placed at least two swimmers in the top three and swept the top three places in three events, although points can only be awarded to two swimmers per school for the same event.

On the agenda for this year's meeting, which begins Thursday, will be over 300 proposals to be considered and discussed. Most important of these issues, however, will be the questions of a reclassification among Division One football schools, the possibility of a National championship series in football, and the establishment of grants of tuition and fees on the basis of need, rather than athletic ability. East Carolina University will be very interested in what the committee decides in the case of the Division One reorganization. The ECU Athletic program is striving to upgrade its’ football program and a reclassification of the football program in any division other nan the top division could be detrimental to the school’s growth. East Carolina’s situation is a complicated one. While ECU would oppose any plan whereby the Southern Conference would be excluded from the “Super conference”, it at the same time is approaching a crossroads in its’ program. The NCAA's decision could have a great effect on the school’s staying in the conference or leaving it. Last year, the University of Richmond announced, effective July 1, that it would no longer affiliate itself with the Southern Conference. Under the proposals now being considered, the more than 300 schools presently classed in Division One by the NCAA would be re-classified into two divisions—Division | and Division I-A. The schools to be classified in (he upper division would probably consist of schools from the six or seven major “power” conferences and 15 or 20 major independents. It is very doubtful that the Southern Conference would be included in this setup. ECU's possible withdrawal from the conference seems to hinge at the present time on the NCAA's actions. Particularly of importance to East Carolina is to what extent the new plans will be carried out, if at all “It's a tough question for us,” said ECU Athletic Director Bill Cain. “We want Pirate Sports Action this week.......... Friday, January 16 Swimming vs. Furman Saturday, January 17 Women’s Basketball at N.C. State Wrestling vs. William and Mary Basketball at William and Mary Sunday, January 18 Women’s Basketball at North Carc'ina Swimming vs. University of Maryland Sports’ spotlight to be in Division |, but we would probably not be if the proposal passes and we remain in the Southern Conference.” For this reason, Cain said the university is prepared to take the actions necessary to gain Division One status, even if it means withdrawing from the conference. ‘We would take whatever actions necessary to compete in Division One status. It may be that some criterion may be established to qualify for Division One status, say playing a schedule with 50 per cent Division One schools.” In the case of the Division One reclassification, it would only apply to competition in football. In a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Jan. 7 Cain asked the university to establish guidelines for him to follow in terms of what direction the school’s athletic program is to go. Another major topic being discussed deals with a proposal for a post-season, Division | playoff to determine the national champion. Cain said he was in favor of this pian, provided it did not conflict with the already established bowl games. The NCAA will also discuss a proposal to base the awarding of financial aid on a need basis. This proposal will be the first on Thursday’s agenda and has been surrounded by controversy. Cain does not believe this system will work. “Aid based solely on the basis of need will not work. Who will determine the need? Also, if you have an athlete whose family donates thousands of dollars to the school each year, a full scholarship is looked on as a prestigious thing. It means a lot to them.” The question of squad limits will once again be brought up at the meeting, particularly in relation to track teams and the limit they will have on a traveling squad. Basketball and football squad sizes will also be reconsidered Cain believes the squad changes will be returned to an equal limit for both home and travel schools, but still remain limited to a certain number of athletes. However, the major issue affecting East Carolina will be the Division | and |-A question.

HOME 88 mse mace ne ASU rip ECU, 50-48 By JOHN EVANS Sports Editor BOONE ---East Carolina had a chance to win here last night against Appalachian State, but Al Edwards’ shot at the buzzer went astray, giving Appalachian a 50-48 victory. It was the second year in a row that ECU has travelled to Appalachian only to get upset by a supposedly inferior Mountaineer team. In some cases, talent does not always make the difference and last night the Pirates allowed ASU to control the tempo of the game, which seemed to overbalance any talent advantage which ECU may have had. If ECU had better players, its sluggish attack lacked the so-called “little things” necessary for a team to win and there could be no excuse for the team play last night. The Pirates didn't make the shots, they passed badly, they waiked, in short they just played lousy against the lowly Mountaineers, a team most schools have run off the court this year. East Carolina just dic’t seem to want to win last night and Appalachian was lucky enough to catch ECU at its’ lowest point in Dave Patton's tenure as head coach. Trailing by as many as nine in the first half, ECU stumbled back against the Mountaineers’ deliberate style of play to close to 25-22 at the half. Patton failed to say a word to his team at the half and the players responded about as lethargically in the final half. ASU jumped to a 31-24 lead in the first five minutes of the half, before ECU fought back to a 31-30 deficit with 13:45 remaining tast Carolina even took the lead in the second half, at 34-33, on a long jumper by Billy Dineen, and a basket by Al Edwards expanded that lead to 36-33. But if the Pirates seemed to show improvement in that stretch they quickly fell back to the earlier form, as ASU went back in front at 37-36. The two “teams” then seemed to seesaw for the lead and with 2:08 left in the game they fell into a 44-44 tie. ASU hit for the next three points and it was all over after that, because the only way East Carolina could get the ball back was to foul the Mountaineers Louis Crosby's fifth foul netted a 47-44 lead for the Mountaineers, but Earl Garner closed it back to one at 47-46. Reggie Lee committed two quick fouls to offset his own basket with 10 seconds left, and Bob Pace sank two free throws in consecutive one-on-one situations down the stretch, to put ASU in front at the end, 50-48. Pace missed the second half of a one-on-one with six seconds left, but Garner lost the ball out of bounds. When Larry Hunt blocked a shot and Al Edwards rebounded, it left ECU with four seconds to score. But they couldn't. The loss dropped ECU to 6-8 overall and 4-3 in the conference and Appeatachian built its’ record up to 2-3 in the conference and 4-7 for the year It isn’t going to get any better for the Pirates either.

The freshman hurdier on the track and. field team has come in to set a new school record in his very first meet and qualify for the NCAA Track and Fieid Championships. Coach Bill Carson likens his style to former Olympic champion and world record holder Rod Milburn. “His style is just like Milburn’s was, very low to the hurdle, barely clearina it. It takes great coordination to run with this style. He is so close to the hurdie when he is jumping over it, if he makes one mistake it can slow him to where he won't win. But he is very good with this Rankins, whose home is in Windsor, went into his first meet at VMI this year highly touted. He let no one down as he turned in a time of 7.2 in the 60-yard high hurdles to break the existing school record by 0.2 of a second. Rankins attributes a lot of his quick developing to Carson and fellow hurdler Sam Phillips. “Coach Carson kind of refined my style,” said Rankins, “while Sam gave me some helpful tips about these college hurdles.” (College high hurdles are about six inches higher than high school hurdles.) Rankins seems to have helped Phillips out some too. Phillips won the East Coast Invitationals against a strong field that included Rankins and tied Rankins school record of 7.2. Hurdling is not new to Rankins at all. He started hurdling as a sophomore in style.” high schoo! at Bertie. Before the year Intramurals The opening day games for Women’s Intramural Basketball were postponed for one day when the lights in Memorial Gym went out with the power failure. The competition finally got underway on Thursday, January 8. In early competition it was Clement Fosetts by forfeit over Tyler 11; BSU over White |, 42-22; Fletcher over Greene 28-17; and Aipha Xi Delta beat Alpha Delta Pi, 946. The evening competition found the Cotten Bunnies winning 28-9 over Greene II; the Whatchamacallits by forfeit over the Jarvis Jaquars; Sigma Sigma Sigma || bowing to Alpha Omicron Pi, 12-3; Chi Omega | outshot Gamma Sigma Sigma 25-17 while the biqagest surprise of the season may have occurred on opening day as Delta Zeta humiliated Chi Omega Il by the score of 75-2 behind Kathy Myslinski’s 30 points. Ladies’ Bowling By Leonard Smith and Diane Knott There were no Bowling matches actually held last week due to the forfeits by three of the six competing teams. All three Delta Zeta teams picked up easy victories over the Day-Do-Bees, Sigma Sigma Sigma !I, and Alpha Xi Delta because the latter three were too inconsiderate, poorly managed, and unsportsmanlike to even show up for the scheduled matches. Vickie Loose remains the top player with the best series score, while Susan Benner dethroned Pam Warren as the high single game scorer with a 179 game score. Men’s and Women’s Entry Deadlines Racquetball Doubles entries for both Men’s and Women’s competition are due in the Intramural Office by 5:00 pm on Thursday, January 15.

Men’s Intramural Sports Program Men's Intramural Bowling results from last week are as follows; the Royal Rollers and BSU tied, 2-2; the Tri-G’s defeated the Phi Epsilon Kappa (Tarheels), 4-0; it was AFROTC’s C Team over the Muffets, 3-1; Herb's Superbs over AFROTC’s Ron's Raiders, 3-1; and Jones’ Fouls over Gonzo, 4-0. Wednesday's games were postponed due to the power failure while Thursday’s games went as follows: the 4 Paragons downed the King Pins, 4-0; the Chocolate Chips forfeited to the Golutes; the Smimoffs forfeited to the Sauceheads; TKE 1 dumped Pi Lambda Phi, 4-0; Pi Kappa Phi beat Phi Kappa Tau, 3-1; and Lambda Chi Alpha “King Pins” were beaten by the TKE 3 team by the score of 3-1. Men’s Intramural Basketball Results Last week's competition included hiah scoring games by Nutties Buddies (82 points) and Purple Steam (72 points). Al McCrimmons nad 25 points in a single game for Alpha Phi Alpha while Hall had 24 points for Nutties Buddies. a In a low scoring contest, the Kosher Kids walloped the Semper Fidelis Marines by the score of 18-15, while Aerosmith piled up a 53 point margin of victory in a 62-9 thrashing of Scott's Rockets. Nutties Buddies, not to be outdone by Aerosmith, also piled up a 53 point margin of victory in their 82-29 rout of the Aycock Strutters. Slay Slacks and Belk’s Bucks fought hard against each other in their game last week. The score changed hands several times right down to the last minute of the garne when the Bucks prevailed. Final score, 40-39 was over he was giving state champion Jack Freeman of Northern Nash all he wanted. Rankins showed at this time he was going to be very tough. His junior year in high school saw Rankins finish second in the state meet in both high and low hurdies to Tony Buelher of Charlotte. Rankins became an All-American hurdler his senior year in high school. His times of 13.6 in the 120-yard high hurdles and 18.2 in the low hurdles are among the best ever recorded by a scholastic hurdler ever. What is ahead for Rankins?

The Pirates, coming off an exciting 72-68 win over Furman, were blown away in the second half by the torrid inside play of the Spiders. TheSpiders shot 62.5 pet centinthe second half, most of the goals coming from within ten feet, to blow open a tight game in which ECU had trailed by only three at the half, 36-33. Substituting freely to get fresh blood in the game, Richmond coach Carl Slone ran the Pirates to death in the second-half with a well designed game plan which moved the ball inside the Pirates’ zone for easy buckets ECU had trailed most of the first half, but cut the lead to 3633 before Richmond went into the four corners Thurs. — i“ =~ FEATURING: Variety of Softdriaks TWO LOCATIONS ad Cerner of Sth and Reade ST.

The Spiders were unsuccessful on an outside jumper at the gun, but they had stopped the ECU momentum. Richmond totally destroyed any momentum the Greenville team may have carried into the second half by outscoring the visitors 10-0 over a two-minute stretch to break a 37-37 lead and go ahead 47-37. The Pirates whittled the lead down to seven points on three occasions, the last at 53-46 with 13:14 left in the game, but Richmond eventually pulled away from the Pirates with an 11-2 stretch later in the half That stretch established a 16-point Spider lead and the lead stayed between 12 and 19 the rest of the way. After the game, ECU coach Patton was a picture of despair as he related to what may have happened to his Pirate team ‘There are some things that you must do to win,” said Patton. “Until you do these things every night, you are going Fish Roast Beef Hamburgers Cheeseburgers SPECIAL!

Patton noted the Spiders’ outstanding shooting in the game, but he also added that the ECU defense probably had a lot to do with that. “There are two ends to the court and Jeff Butler finished as high scorer for Richmond with 20 points. Larry Slappy added 16, Craig Sullivan, 14, and Mike Morton scored 10 points. Morton also finished as the high rebounder for Richmond with eight. all the teams we've played have shot the eyes out of the basket. Why? We are playing lousy defense.” Defense was the key word Monday, or rather a lack of it, as ECU offered no resistance to the Spiders’ four corners, driving lavups or fast breaks. East Carolina’s scoring was led by Reggie Lee with 25. Behind Lee, only Wade Henkel, 12 points, and Ear! Garner, 11 points, scored in double figures. Larry Hunt led all rebounders with nine From the Inside with Pat Williams COURAGE PERSONIFIED Though there is no consolation in losing, John Welborn’s wrestling team put on quite a show Monday night in Minges Coliseum while dropping an 18-13 decision to the Athletes in Action. The Pirates were especially strong in the mid to upper weight classes. The excitement of the whole match was climaxed in D.T. Joyner’s narrow loss in the final match Joyner is a freshman, which should spell trouble for Southern Conference mat opponents in the next three and one-half years. He wrestled a tremendous opponent in the Athlete, as they all are. Look for him to be a good one in the future. THE MARCH CONTINUES This writer wonders how long it will be now until cries of “Break up the Pirates” are heard in conference swimming circles. Coach Ray Scharf’s crew blasted Richmond, 74-39, Monday afternoon in Richmond. Scharf has built a dynasty of sorts which has yet to be equalled in East Carolina University athletics in terms of championships won. Richmond supposedly would have given ECU its toughest conference test of the season. If that was indeed the case, then Friday’s meet with Furman should be a laugh. The Pirates will then host a tough Maryland team Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m Swimming, for the physical endurance, is probably the toughest sport going, but at the same time is one of the least recognized in the area THE LADY PIRATES Excitement for excitement, the Lady Pirate basketball squad lost a heartbreaker Friday night in Minges It was evident that this was the first test of the season in regarding the turnovers committed. But the hosts were outrebounded badly, something they will have to take moves to correct in the future to get on the plus side of the ledger WHERE ARE WE NOW? One of the most perplexed individuals on this campus has to be David Joe Patton, who has seen his basketball team go the roller coaster route. ECU has a 6-7 record, with the results from Appalachian out in a game played last night in Boone. Knowing Coach Patton and the staff, this writer just can’t feel like they are putting out less than their 100 per cent. The success of a program is gauged on wins and losses in most instances, but here the success must also include the team itself. The players have to go do their jobs, and in this case, not just in every other game. Wonder what would happen if the players received scholarships every other quarter... COMING UP George Williams must have put in a special requisition for the clear weather the Greenville area has had early in the week. The Pirates started limbering the arms and legs for the 1976 baseball season, which will open March 6 in Harrington Fieid. The opponent for a two-game set will be Maryland. The second game will be March 7. There's just something about basebail that stirs feelings in a person that no other sport can do. The tall, the short, the thin and the thick all play baseball. There are certain skills involved, like in any other sport, which are needed for success. But why, and in this case looking at the pro level, do people keep coming to baseball games? One member of the “thick” group who works with the Pirate baseball team offered some answers. “There's some Walter Mitty in all of us,” said Willie Patrick, who is a student assistant in the ECU Department of Athletics and former FOUNTAINHEAD staff writer. “A lot of kids like myself had baseball heroes early and never really grew out of it. There's got to be a touch of being a kid in all baseball fans, because of the easy nature of the game.” . BIG BLOW OUT ON B.A.S.F.
