8,500 Circulation EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Fountainhead This Issue 20 pages VOL. 7, NO. 36 12 FEBRUARY 1976 Competition exists among job hunting grads By KENNETH CAMPBELL Assistant News Editor Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with job opportunities for ECU graduates. Jobs related to industry, managerial and supervisory, are currently the most available jobs for college graduates, according to the different department chairmen at ECU However, contrary to what students may be thinking, competition for these positions not only exists among business related majors, but also among liberal arts, humanities, fine arts, social science, and science majors as well In some fields, persons with a bachelors degree are in a better job market than the Ph. D. graduate in the same field But doctorates are not useless Rather, they are invaluable. In the long run, more education will pay off, most ECU Department chairmen agree. Some Ph. D's are having trouble finding a job because the teaching market in general is saturated. Again only in business related fields are teachers in somewhat of a demand Nevertheless, otherwise, Voting industry and somewhere jobs are out there change requested By JIM ELLIOT News Editor The N.C. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), a non-profit student organization, has requested the N.C Board of Elections to revise its guidelines to allow college students to register and vote in the town in which they attend school In a letter and an accompanying legal brief dated to Hugh Wilson Feb. 6, 1976, chairman of the State Board of Elections, N.C. PIRG called the board's guidelines ‘an unconstitutional and discriminatory burden against students as a class.” The board's guidelines include nine rules which define residency for registration and voting. Rule (3) states, ‘A person shall not be considered to have gained a residence in any county of this State, into which he comes for temporary purposes only, without the intention of making such county his permanent place of abode.” PIRG's letter and brief cite state and federal court decisions in which such a rebuttable presumption of student non-residency has been declared uncon- stitutional David Deiss, Duke University student and coordinator of PIRG’s’ voter registration project, said the organization urged the Board of Elections to “remove any special or particular criteria for proof of domicile for students” and to allow County Boards of Election to require of student applicants only that information which they require of all applicants for registratio: What we seek for college students FOUNTAINHEAD has sought to find them GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT In the field of Geography, many graduates find jobs in government. Others depend on teaching or private agencies. Many students with bachelor's degrees go to work in governmental agencies,” said Ennis Chestang. “The range of jobs and salaries is enormous “Popular jobs in geography include work in intelligence agencies, and jobs in environmental studies agencies ‘Students in the (ECU) planning program can get jobs with the city, county and regional planning agencies The job market is quite good because towns and counties are currently redeveloping and reworking themselves.” Still other students concentrate in cartography and get jobs with local governments in mapping work. And the old alternative, teaching, is available to others. However, teaching jobs are limited, according to Chestang The ECU Geography department has 63 planning students, 83 geography majors, and about 25 masters candi- dates. The department offers two undergraduate degrees, and the masters degree on the graduate level ‘Students who will go anywhere in the country will get the job they want,” said Chestang. “The urban and regional planning field in general is only crowded to the extent that there is competition in the field.” “The economic situation has made the job market for the geographer more keen. Consequently, ihe more education a student jas in the field, the better he will be able to compete for jobs.” Difficulty in finding jobs in geography, as in any field is relative to requirements for that job David Rezeli, an ECU planning major who graduates winter quarter, plans to work in Colorado B.S. graduates are competing with masters graduates,’ said Rezeli. “The job market seems to be picking up for B.S grads Rezeli plans to job hunt at a job planning conference in Washington, D.C in the spring. The best time for a planning student to graduate is July according to Rezeli ‘July is the start of a fiscal year and localities have money at that time.” he said Another geography student with an optimistic Outiook on the job market is Ed Austin OVERFLOWING GARBAGE BIN-Anyone walking near the womens dormitories by the mali can frequently notice this garbage eye sore. Any administrator looking out of Spillman Building [including Chancelior Jenkins] has this trash problem to gaze upon. to register to vote,” said Deiss ‘It is clear that the Guidelines issued by the Board unconstitutionally prevent this equal opportunity, and we urgently request that they be revised “Discrimination against students with regard to residency cannot be justified In today's mobile society, students are no more transient than many other groups. The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that one out of every five people in the U.S. changes residency every year Additionally, the average iength of time American citizens remain in one location (63 months) is quite short Wib Gulley, director of N.C. PIRG said that as of today there have been no cases before the N.C. State Court dealing with this facet of student Supreme There was, however, a 1972 case which came before a lower court dealing with a Meredith College coed’s right to register and vote in Wake County ‘In this case, the court ruled that there could be no such presumption of students,” said Gulley “In the most recent action, the Federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Texas law which presumed student non-residency.’ 'f the Board ofElections does not act to end its illegal discrimination against students, we'll pursue other legal remedies, said Gulley Margaret M.

ENNIS CHESTANG --Geography Chairman ‘There are jobs, but most require a Ph.D.,” said Austin, who is a grad student. “The government, the CIA, and the Pentagon want people In federal government jobs, a geographer would investigate the climate, topography, and people of a place where the United States is going to send war troops, for example,” said Austin describing one of the governmental jobs available to geography graduates See Jobs, page 15. Pamlico research completed By STEVEN MESSICK Staff Writer Three ECU professors have authored a research publication of shore-line erosion in the Pamlico and Albemarle estuarine region. The report offers guidelines to property owners along sounds and estuaries on how to cope with shore-line erosion The publication will be available free to the public in early February Dr. Michael P. O'Connor and Dr. Stan Riggs, both of the geology department, along with Dr. Vincent Bellis, of the biology department, condensed data obtained from a two-year study of shoreline erosion. The research was funded by a $60,621 grant from the University of North Carolina Sea Grant Association The publication gives guidelines to aid land owners and developers in coping with erosion along the estuaries “People who live on the estuaries know their property is eroding, but the government was slow in accepting it,’ said Dr. Riggs “Everyone realizes the coast is eroding due to its high energy system with large waves, but the possibility of erosion in the lower energy estuaries is often overlooked.” The N.C.

The case in point is Wright Annex. Wright Annex was used as part of the old Student Union and also housed Student Government Association offices after it was first constructed, with bond money that student fees are paying off. But, then the new Union was built, and SGA offices moved into the new facility leaving Wright Annex vacant, at least from student organizations. The building did not stay vacant long as the campus attorney moved in, along with the counseling service and the AFROTC office. That is great if the university wants to house some administrative offices in the building. But, then the administration should start picking up the tab for the bond, not the student. Students currently pay fees to help pay off bonds for Mendenhall, which they should do since that is the Student Union. They also pay fees for Minges, which is the students’ coliseum. And, fees go to pay for the bleachers on the student side of Ficklen, also a legitimate expense. Then there are those expensive lights and we still question whether students should be paying for them. But, while we can swallow the lights, we find it hard to accept the fact students are paying their fees for a building that is clearly being used for administrative purposes. If the SGA had remained in Wright Annex, or if some Union activity had stayed there, fine. But, all those people packed up and left and with them went the reasoning for the students to continue to pay for the building. There are several student organizations on campus which are currently housed in “university buildings”. The Publications Center sits on top of the old South Cafeteria in an administration building. Then there is WECU in the old library complex. A reasonable question can be asked as to why these student organizations can’t be moved into Wright and the administrative offices there be moved into the old publications center. ECU Chancellor for Business Affairs Cliff Moore explained that he “would rather see a member of the university family housed in an existing facility, instead of seeing the building deteriorating.” We could understand paying fees on Wright Annex if the publications or WECU were using it. But, to pay fees so the campus attorney can have an office is not what we think student fees were designed to do. The whole issue really revolved around student fees and State taxes. We see a big difference in the two - apparently the people in administration don’t see any difference. Student fees are paid by students along with tuition at the Start of each quarter. Tuition, as we understand it, covers part of the actual academic cost or “education . Of course the major part of the education cost is picked up by the taxpayers of North Carolina. Student fees then, are fees that should go to cover direct “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government withou: 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 Thomas Jefferson 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 anc appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the schooi year.

And, student fees are also used to pay for the facilities on campus that are strictly student facilities — buildings that are not the necessary part of education that the classroom buildings are. Mendenhall is a student building. Minges and even the football field falls into this category. But, having the students to pay for a building that houses the campus attorney and the counseling center, which would appear to us to be part of the “educational” end of this whole process, is stretching the meaning of student fees a bit far. Next, someone from administration will have the students paying student fees to pay off “D” wing of Brewster. The same logic that uses student fees to pay for Wright Annex could easily reason a way for students to have to pay off classroom bonds through the use of student fees. We see a big difference in state taxes, tuition and student fees, just like we see a big difference in student facilities and administration facilities. Fountainhead is currently lodged in an administration building. The campus attorney is currently housed in a student building. We will be glad to change offices with the attorney, the counseling center, or the AFROTC office. And, if the administration does not want to move, maybe they would like to buy the building from the SGA, or either rent it. , At the present time they are getting it at a pretty cheap rate - ree. Now you know how ECU gets such a high space utilization rate each year. They use student buildings for non-student services. ee FOR THE LAST TIME-( WILL SPOT YOU 10.

The authors begin by praising less censorship on college campuses but then simultaneously pass judgement on what is “appropriate and in good taste”. These two concepts are very difficult to define as well as to combine. The screening cf these supposedly “high caliber films” would be nothing less than to open the door to more censorship. Can a handful of people designate what is in “good taste” for a university of ten thousand individuals? | personally don’t think so. Students should have a decision in choosing campus films. But if one is not a member of the Films Committee, it is rather difficult to express one’s preferences. Maybe this situation can be corrected in the future. As to the film in particular, some points should be made. The Fountain- head’s synopsis of the film clearly stated that to some “The Devils” would be “visually shocking and deeply disturb- ing.” It also pointed out that the film was “explicit and highly graphic.” Furthermore, the article was not a ‘review but a promotional ad lifted from the Warner Brothers Film catalogue. Russell approached the source material both realistically and surrealist- ically. It is highly unlikely if Louis Xill performed the Birth of Venus for his court, but court masques were a very important part of royal entertainment during this period of history. It is just one of several jokes that occur throughout the film (i.e. Louis Xill shooting Protestants dressed as black- birds or the two “quack” surgeons facetiously talking of hanky-panky after the gruesome medical examination of Sister Jeanne). The magnificent as well as futuristic sets which were built to represent Loudum and Richelieu’s library were clearly no literal re-creations and weren't meant to be so. They were both symbolic as were many other aspects of the film. But Russell was true to the basic story which is based on an actual occurrence and Aldous Huxley’s novel, “The Devils of Loudun’, that being the destruction of a man by the combined forces of the Church and State. For coyone who may have been offended or outraged by the film, you should read Huxley's novel. The horrors shown in the film are lifted straight from the book. !n fact, Russell underplayed such areas as the exorcism of Sister Chairperson explains bookings To Fountainhead : | appreciate the time taken to write the comments appearing in the February 10 issue of the Fountainhead concerning this past Friday night's free flick, “The Devils’.| believe the writers did not have a clear view of what goes on behind the scenes, and hope that this letter will clarify the issue. The Films Cornmittee of East Carolina University Union has the responsibility for selecting popular films for Friday nights, Internationals and Classics for Wednesday nights, and occasional Film Festivals as interest and money permit. The six voting members and one non-voting chairperson meet and pick movies they believe will be of wide appeal to the university. The Films Committee selects these movies in various ways. Mainly we peruse catalogs for features we believe will be of interest to the university body. However, at times certain members of the university family will bring films to our attention. in the case of the “Devils”, a student approached the committee claiming this would be a good feature for the campus. He didn’t contend that it be without controversy, but that it was similar to the grossness found in “Jaws” and “The Exorcist” which were popular at that time. | am very sorry that you were disappointed at our choice, but | am likewise disappointed with your as- sertions. You insinuate that the films have not been as “artistically beautiful as they should be,” when the films, in fact, have been the best that the films committee has been able to get in a long time and as evidence of this is the fact that we have had to turn many people away from the last few showings because of a packed house. You contend that Fountainhead reviews should be accurate and detailed enough to provide movie goers with a good idea of what they are in for. | invite, rather, urge you to take this up with the Fountainhead Er*ertainment Editor. My frustrated Publicity Coordinator has put in several original reviews only to find that the Fountainhead had substituted its usual one-sentence synopsis of a movie for his well-thought out articles. Why, | do not know. You claim that an accurate poll of movie interest should be taken. With three quarters of full programming to do, we have neither time nor money for such a venture, but the members of the committee are very active in assessing student opinion on their own. They are concerned with what the students at the university want, and this is something that | am very proud of. As far as your assertion that entertaining classics and _ relevant contemporary pictures should be chosen, | refer you to our past record as | said before. We have already scheduled some fantastic films for next quarter. Included on the agenda are such things as “American Grafitti’, “Butch Cassidy’, “Touch of Class”, “Waldo Pepper’, “Odessa File’, ‘Diary of a Mad Screening proposal draws fire To Fountainhead : In regard to Kurle and Marshall's article entitled ‘Student Questions Content of Free Flick”, | feel these students do have a right to express their personal dislike for the movie, “The Devils”, but their proposal for the screening of all possibly controversial films for university showing is outrageous, ridiculous and upsetting. How can this institution hope to be dedicated to intellectual and artistic pursuits if all material is screened from the students unless “tasteful”, “appropri- ate’, “inoffensive”, ‘decent’, “docu- mented”, “historically accurate”, “un- controversial”, “appropriately censored”, and in “good taste”. Come on Kurle and Marshall, get off your pulpit and give up your gavel. | hope that your proposals don’t get any further than your senseless article. Mark Howard Housewife’, and “Summer of °42”, among others. We are also reinstituting cartoons, and may even nave three showings on Fridays instead of two. In invite you and anyone else to come up to my office in Room 233, Mendenhall any day and peruse through my catalogs, talk about movies you wouid like, or even apply for the committee. This is the best course for action. | personally did not enjoy the movie as yourselves, but the guy sitting in front of me and his six friends laughed hysterically throughout the entire feature. They pay activity fees too. This is only to say that people have different views. This movie did please some people, however, | do not believe it did please the majority. If you can please some of the people some of the time, you do o.k. If you can please the majority of the people most of the time, you are doing good, and if you can please the majority of the people all of the time, you must be some kind of miracle worker.

If he had shown all, everyone would have fled the theater. The atrocities depicted in the film were not visualized for sensationalistic purposes, but to underline the outrage and brutality of the entire fiasco. As for the critical appraisal of the film, there were many level-headed reviewers who understood Russell’s motives. Stephen Farber, a noted fiim critic in the New York Times reported that: ...“it (The Devils) is filled with passion, energy, and imagination that make Ken Russell one of the most exciting and important filmmakers working today.” (N.Y. Times, August 15, 1971). The Los Angeles Free Press called it...“a masterpiece as consumingly rich and as arrogantly original as the greatest works of art.” William Wolf, for Cue Magazine, accurately summarized the film’s explicit- ness by saying that, “...Russell’s attack is impressionistic ..conveying the horror of the reality rather than merely depicting the reality itself...brilliance is there with harrowing effect.” (Cue Magazine, July 17, 1971). Even a professional psychiatrist, Lawrence Hatterer, M.D., a professor of Psychology at Corneli University Medical School, said that he was impressed with the “...extraordinary accuracy of Rus- sell’s representation of every form of human aberration. What is more, Vanessa Redgrave’s performance might well be used as a textbook classic in its brilliantly authentic representation of a 17th Century religious hysteric...Russell’s film will survive as a classic because it must make anyone who sees it feel.” (N.Y. Times, August 15, 1971). | will be the first to admit that “The Devils” is a harsh film; but the film depicts an even harsher reality. It is to the viewer's disadvantage if he cannot or will mot sae heyond the so-called “gory” or “gruesome” episodes, to the fiim’s immediate theme. The most disturbing point in the letter from Ms. Kurle and Mr. Marshall was labeling “The Deviis” as hardcore and insinuating that anyone willing to seek out such entertainment would giadiy go to “the other side of the tracks” to find it. | don’t know if the other approximately twelve to fourteen hundred people who watched the film took this personally or not. But to dismiss a film as emotionally powerful and as technically weli made as “The Devils”, is nothing but ludicrous. Because the film was certified an X rating does not automatically make it an exploitation film. There are a handful of quality X rated films which include among others, “A Clockwork Orange’, “Midnight Cowboy”, “Last Tango in Paris”, and yes, “The Devils”. Speaking for myseif, “The Devils” was an overwhelming emotional experience and at the same time one of the most innovative and interesting films that: | have seen in some time.

It seems that some people just have to see how much they can get away with. There have been more than enough R-rated movies shown this year at ECU.

In my opinion, Greg Davis’ statement that David Aman is trying to take advantage of the SGA is a completely unfounded, self-defensive remark that no sensible ECU student would buy Is not student money used to support the SGA transportation system and the insurance that goes with it? Then if accidents are not referred to the insurance company for full restitution to parties suffering damage, for what purpose is our student money being used in maintaining insurance coverage for the SGA buses? lf Mr. Davis’ and Mr. Honeycutt’s treatment of David Aman is representa tive of the way things are handled by the SGA, then | wonder if we students (and our money) are not being taken advantage of by incompetent leaders Sincerely, Dale Holmes It is certainly surprising to read a letter from Sheila and Bob condemning “this type of film ... to the hard-core kit kat theaters.” (Fountainhead, Feb. 10). “The Devils” (in spite of its title) is hardly a movie of the “kit kat” variety. You will be very lucky to see it at any such place, or, to see it at all, for that matter! | think Sheila should have stayed home and darned some more of Bobby’s socks. Most great artists are provocative and Ken Russell is a genius of the theater. This movie is a masterpiece of psychological realism. “The Devils’ ” historical documentation is just an added extra, since the actual personnages and events are taken merely as starting points for an intensely dramatic exploration of human emotions and a power play within a particular set of social conditions. Ken Russell's critics have posed this question: “Can we really justify showing any film, regardiess of its content, simply by calling it art?” Is ART really 80 treacnerous? Why don't you look closely at the society which surrounds you? Can you safely ignore Life? Is it not there that the true perfidy rides? ART involves the faithful portrayal of life. It can never be effective as a pole idealization of the truth. | recommend “The Devils” to its critics, but next time please don’t walk out on it! Kudos, kudos to the committee whose discerning taste and intelligence brought to our adult public a profound cinematic experience - a rare treat indeed. | doubt that Sheila or Bob would appreciate the terrific comedy in “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise.” David W.

The BUCCANEER'seditor ship's a year full of headaches, disappoint- ments and tension. School work is placed second.

How can | find out who killed the five people, two goats and eight chickens? is Mary going to have an affair with the police officer? Will Grandpa Larkin the “Fernwood Flasher’ do it again? Are you. still reading this letter? WNCT says they have received many letters opposed to the show and not “a single one in favor of it.” If you are ready for something a little different and a lot crazy, send a letter to WNCT-TV, it only costs 13 cents so hurry before the rates go up again. If you don’t have a spare 13 cents, write your letter, fold it into a starship and throw it in the general direction of the station. You never can tell can you? Buck Egerton Rather than putting down the entire student population, why not reevaluate yourselves? If the BUCCANEEROffice were in a more “public” place where the students came into contact with the Staff, then the students would see how the BUC operates. The whole business of putting together a yearbook would be less of a mystery. How about offering a publications meeting for interested freshman at summer orientations? Or using the Fountainhead for articles about the progress of the other 2 publications? 1 think your whole problem is to inform the students as to what you do and how you go about it. The entire publications block needs to open up and show its heart for what it really is: a lot of hard work with its own rewards. Sincerely, Nancy Leggett Alumnus supports ECU cagers To Fountainhead How about some support for the basketball teams at East Carolina, your school? The attendance of students at the basketball game, men’s and women’s, is pitiful. Sure, the men’s team is playing terrible basketball, but why quit on them? The men’s team may be playing to the best of its ability and this year is just an off year. The students supported the good team of last year and that support probably heiped the team have a good year. But why be a “fair weather friend’? If the student body would enthusiastically support the men’s team, | believe the guys would improve their performance. Poor attendance and lack of enthusiasm not only hurts this years team, but it hurts’ recruiting. Besides, you students have already paid for your tickets, so why not attend? There are four more home games for the men and one more for the women.
