This Issue - 20 pages EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Fou Ss niainhead erving the East Carolina Community for over fifty years SGA passes salary reduction bill By KENNETH CAMPBELL Assistant News Editor The SGA Legislature, Monday night, voted unanimously to accept a bill reducing the salaries of SGA executive salaries by as much as 18 percent The bill, introduced by Legislator Ray Hudson, was a campaign promise of SGA President-elect Tim Sullivan. In effect, Sullivan has cut his own salary by 18 percent. Other salaries reduced in an 8 percent cut is the Vice President's salary, and a 9 percent cut in the Treasurer's salary. “This is the first campaign promise fulfilled,”’ said Sullivan. ‘It won't be the last." The bill reduces the SGA President's salary from $175 monthly to $150. The Treasurer's salary is cut from $135 monthly to $120, and the Vice President's salary is cut from $110 to $100. “We have a problem of inflation,’’ Sullivan told the Legislature ‘A full third of students’ fees goes for salaries, paying SGA staff and publications salary staff manned by students ‘This year, when these organizations saw that the SGA had a surplus, they started thinking along the line of increas- ing salaries instead of goals and projects. This trend has got to stop. With this bill, we have put our house in order.”’ Sullivan gave another reason for salary cuts. “I think SGA has lost some of the faith students put in it,’’ he said. ‘‘The students have to be shown that we are not in it for the money, social status, or the recom- mendations we can get from the adminis- tration.’* Sullivan told the Legislature that there will be a budget surplus at the end of the year. “It is going to take time for my group to put the SGA money to use,"’ stated Sullivan. ‘This means there will be a surplus at the end of this year “Lt will fight to make it as small as possible. It is not there to collect cobwebs “The overall amount saved in a year from the salary cuts won't be a hell of a lot,’’ according to Sullivan. ‘‘We've set the trend. | hope we've shown our people what we're here for.”’ In other SGA major business, the Sullivan views presidency By MIKE TAYLOR Editor-in-Chief Being president of the Student Govern- ment mainly just an administrative job, most students think. But, the newly elected student to that post sees the position as one of a ‘‘super salesman’. Tim Sullivan, a Burlington native who was elected to the top SGA post two weeks ago, sees his primary task as ‘selling students on the idea that the SGA is for the students first." “Students for the most part don't act overly interested in the SGA and I can't blame them, mainly since in the past the SGA has not responded to the needs of the average student,’’ Sullivan contended. ‘‘My main duty to begin with is to get students interested in the SGA again, to get them to think that the SGA works for them,’’ Sullivan added. Sullivan pointed to the student interest in the past few years as a disturbing trend which he hopes to end. “When the Union separated from the SGA several years ago they took the popular portion of the SGA with them. They took the concerts and entertainment that had been provided through the SGA. That left the student government with the stuff that most students don't get very interested in,’’ Sullivan explained. Type size changed Editor’s Note: Readers of FOUNTAIN- HEAD may notice that in today’s issue some of the type size is different from regular ‘‘FOUNTAINHEAD style’’. Due to a transition to new production equipment the regular type size had to be discarded. We would like to apologize for the change and FOUNTAINHEAD will return to the regular type size sometime next week. Association is decline in Sullivan, who served one term in the legislature his freshman year, thinks that there are several ways to start students (aking a more active role in student government. Better communications is one area that Sullivan hopes to use to improve the students’ perception of student govern- ment. ‘We need to get more of the activities of the student government to the students. So many times they only hear about the negative aspects of the SGA. But, there is a positive side to the SGA and we need to get that story out,’’ Sullivan added. An SGA newsletter which would be printed monthly is one idea Sullivan hopes may improve communications. Secondly, Sullivan hopes to show students that the students in the SGA are sincere in their work and not simply after the job because of the money, the social prestige or job contacts it offers. “I did not run for the money and I intend to show that,’’ Sullivan declared. The newly elected president hopes the SGA will consider a reduction in salaries before he takes office next Sunday night. **We have to restore faith in the SGA, and | think this will do it some by showing people that we are not up here after the money,’’ Sullivan continued. Sullivan also hopes that better com- munications will break down what he feels has been an isolation barrier about the SGA by most students. Sullivan also hopes that his opening up of his cabinet to any student will invite more students to participate in student government, “I know in the past that cabinet posts were promised during elections. But, | did not promise any job to anyone. I invite anyone who wants to apply for one of the jobs to simply come by the SGA office. The See Sullivan, page 6. appropriated $2,000 for wall paper for halls and meeting room ¢in the SGA wing of Mendenhall. The student unicen has already agreed to pay $2,000 for wall paper. The wall paper is the same which is in other areas of Mendenhall. It should last about 20 years, according to Dean Rudolph Alexander. Originally, $3,500 was asked for in the bill. But the Legislature decided not to appropriate any money to buy wall covering for SGA offices. And in other business, the Legislature approved a bill increasing the SGA Confidential Loan Fund by $2,500. Loans up to $150 may be borrowed from this fund if the money is used for anything dealing with pregnancies, -not just abortions, according to SGA President Jimmy Honey- cutt. Before the bill was approved, the fund was empty, according to Honeycutt. Three people are on a waiting list, and Flu vaccination planned By LARRY LIEBERMAN Staff Writer Four major drug companies are trying to produce enough swine flu vaccine to innoculate 215 million Americans by early next fall. The President is asking Congress to appropriate $135 million to pay for the manutacture of the vaccine. This preparation is being made to combat the swine flu which is similar to the world-wide pandemic of 1918-19 which killed 500,000 Americans and 20 million world-wide. This will be the biggest vaccination program since the 1960's polio immuniza- tions, according to U.S. News & World Report's April 5 issue. Blood studies show that people 50 years and older have antibodies, meaning they were previously infected by the swine flu. The swine flu mortality rate is higher than other flu epidemics. Besides being dangerous to the very old, the disease can be fatal to healthy people between the ages of 25 and 40. Scientists at the Center of Disease Control in Atlanta discovered four cases of 8,500 Ciruclation VOL. 51, NO. 48 6 APRIL 1976 Tim Sullivan NEW SGA PRESIDENT five have recently been turned away, he told the Legislature. Students have six months to pay back these loans. the swine flu at Fort Dix, N.J., Army base. One of four recruits have died. Dr. Harry H. McLean of the East Carolina University (ECU) Infirmary said, “This virus is making us all go back to the books because we didn't live through it.”’ “Very few people under SO years would have any resistance to swine flu and these few are people who handle swine. “The companies making the vaccine are having trouble because the cultures don’t grow fast enough for enough vaccine to be made. “The virus must then be inactivated to be made into vaccine.’ “No flu vaccine is 100 percent effective, but if the vaccine is made in time, it would lower the death rate by 80-90 percent." There are two main strains of influ- enzas: the A and the B strains. Hong Kong and Asian flu are mutants of A, said Dr. McLean. “The A strain flu's are much more common than the B's. There has only been one small outbreak of a B flu in the last 5 years and it was in Great Britain. “Swine flu is thought to be a variant of the A strain but it could be a completely new flu,’ said Dr. McLean. Trustees to decide on conference withdrawal According to a report from high university officials Menday, the Board of Trustees are to meet today and make a decision on ECU leaving the Southern Conference. According te the sources, the Board is expected to vote for the university to withdraw from the conference and for the go-ahead on plans to expand Ficklen Stadium’s seating capacity. A committee which was set up by ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins has reportedly reached a decision and will recommend withdrawal from the conference in July, 1977. The trustees, according to a member of the Board, are expected to adopt the measure. The plans to enlarge the stadium seating capacity from 20,000 to 35,000 or 40,000 has been under consideration for quite awhile and that recommendation, too, is expected to pass. The Board of Trustees are scheduled to meet at 2:00 this afternoon in Mendenhall Student Center. 2 FOUNTAINHEAD /VOL. 51, NO. 48/6 APRIL 1976 EditorialssCommentary New post aids students After almost a year’s negotiating with the Greenville City Council, persistence has paid off for SGA president Jimmy Honeycutt and president-elect Tim Sullivan, and the real winners are the students at ECU. The ‘‘win’’ comes in the form of representation on the city council by an ECU student. Under the agreement, accepted by Honeycutt recently, an ECU studerit will sit on the City Council in a non-voting capacity. Even though the ECU representative will not have a vote on the Council, the student will be in a valuable position to give the board input on a variety of decisions that affect ECU students. The concession by the city fathers is important for a variety of reasons. The need for better communications between the student body and city government is most apparent in the wake of last year’s Halloween police-student riot. From strictly an economical standpoint, the role of the student body in city life is important. The ECU student body annually pumps an estimated $15,000,000 into the economy. And, with that kind of economical clout the students deserve a forum. The new agreement accepted by Honeycutt was not something easily gained. it took a lot of hard bargaining by Honeycutt, but mainly Sullivan, to gain the current position. The Council at first hoped to appease the student body by a token representative who would have no more right than any other spectator in the crowd. But, Honeycutt and Sullivan would not accept those first initial token offerings and held out for a better position. The Council finally took the demand seriously and the wait was worthwhile, Of course, itis still up to the City Council to carry tnrougn with their original concessions and give the student representative the rights promised. Sullivan, before ihe legislature last Monday, assured the position was more than ‘‘just a liaison position as in the past,’’ and, that the ECU representative would be in a position to make a significant contribution for the students. Sullivan also called city government ‘‘foreign affairs’ in his short address to the student government. And, while it sounds funny at first, Sullivan is right. City government, even though it so greatly affects the lives of ECU students, is ‘foreign’ to the students since they get no input into the Council. The student representative is a good first step. Hopefully Sullivan will pursue the foreign affairs line during his administration. Maybe one day city government can be moved into a ‘‘domestic affairs’’ area in the SGA. Elections praise Last fall we were very critical of the way the legislature elections were held. But, the job turned in on the elections just completed deserved a very favorable rating. The elections this time around were well organized and planned and went off without a major hitch. For that, Election Chairman Roy Turner and his boss, SGA President Jimmy Honeycutt, deserve praise. One good move was to set up ballot boxes in Mendenhall and Allied Health which registered about 150 votes together. While the total is not large, it represented many students who would not have had a chance to vote elsewhere. ii ia a ene “Were it left to me to decide whether ve should have a goverment without newspapers, or newspapers without government, | should not hesitate a moment to prefe. the latter.” Thomas Jefferson Editor-in-Chief--Mike Tayior Managing Editor-Tom Tozer Business Manager--Teresa Whisenant Production Manager--Jimmy Williams Advertising Manager--Mike Thompson News Editor-- Dennis Leonard Entertainment Editor--Brandon Tise Features Editor--Pat Coyle Sports Editor-John Evans Advertising Representatives--Mary Anne Vail and Vicky Jones Fountainhead is the student newspaper of East Carolina University sponsored by the Student Government Association of ECU and appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the school year.

Fountainhead, the student newspaper at East Carolina University recently broke the story that over 100 persons were receiving free copies of the campus yearbook. Among those getting the freebies which cost students $9.50 - were various university VIPs, including the Chancellor's office, the office of the dean of student affairs, the registrar's office and Leo Jenkins, the college president. An editorial in the same edition rapped the giveaways, noting students paid tor their copies and declaring “‘the practice should be stopped now.”’ Jenkins, it said, was giving free copies to the members of the school’s board of trustees. The student publication took the position that if Jenkins wants to give the books away, that’s fine, but he should cither pay for the copies or approach the student government association for free copies. It is the SGA which finances publication of the yearbook to the tune of $60,000 a year. When Jenkins learned of the student paper's gripe, he promptly returned 22 copies of the yearbook. Jenkins said if the editor of the yearbook wants the practice stopped, “that’s fine with me.”’ He also advised the Fountainhead that he did not ask for the free yearbooks and that they were first given to the administra- tion several years ago by the yearbook editor for free distribution. Times change. This year's editorial noted: “‘If all the free yearbooks that were given away were paid for the Buc (the yearbook) would have over $1,000 in additional funds to work with The student paper is quite right on this. fhere’s another angle, also. Universi tics, in particular of all institutions in the nation, are generally held to be places that exemplify the democratic process. Yet, too often, they turn out not to be, with students’ wishes completely disre- garded by the whim of a single administra tor and even their money spent for special ‘interests,’ as in the above. the irony filters down to high school. In Havelock High School, for example, the senior class was given the option of choosing its own graduating colors for the robes. A majority of them favor gold, but that color is getting the nix from the principal. In other words, the students were given a democratic process for choosing, yet because their choice is not the choice of the school principal, he plans to abolish their wishes in place of his own. It is well for those in education to remember that lip service to democratic institutions is not enough. If we teach the young and near-grown that the democratic process can be customarily subverted, then we can expect that they will take their place in society ready to do the same.

Every year there seems to arise the question in the Higher Education System as to the importance or relevance of foreign langu- age for the future university graduate who is going to communicate in a society which he claims does not require any foreign language, as well as cutting out or abolishing altogether the study of a foreign language because it is a ‘‘needless’’ subject.

At 12:30, Saturday afternoon a man attempted to attack a girl in Slay Dorm while she was taking a shower. The only identification that can be given is that he was a young, short, light-skinned black man. Evidently he knew the dorm was relatively deserted because of the week-end exodus, and made a point of closing the heavy bathroom doors. Foriunately, she managed to scare him off by her screams First of all, we feel we should warn all female students. Most of the fear of the past attacks has worn off-well, we advise you to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself. Lock your doors when you leave your room or when you go to sleep, don’t walk alone at night, and notify your Residence Advisor or the security if you see any suspicious looking people. Be careful- he is getting bolder. It happened right in the middle of the day in a dorm. You could be next. Secondly, we would like to see some action taken. This is no longer a joking matter. To get something done though, we need your support. With over 5,000 girls in there should be more than enough people to get something done.

Science Foundation to hold the Student Science Training Institute in Physics and astronomy here June 23 to Aug. 3, according to Dr. Paul G. Varlashkin of the ECU Physics depart- ment. Variashkin said ECU received the grant after the foundation approved a detailed proposal! he submitted last fall. The institute is aimed at gifted high school juniors or sophomores, said Var- lashkin. ‘They have to be very highly qualified students who are interested in science in order to enter the institute,’’ he said. Varlashkin, director of the program, said the institute will accommodate 30 students who will be divided into three areas of research--nuclear physics, astron- omy and solid state physics. Dr. Edward J.

Phil Arrington, a graduate student in English, said lack of infirmary care is one problem. “Those of us in the grad school live through the winter in constant fear that we'll contract flu, or some other sickness, and be forced to spend our food money on medical bills,’’ said Arrington. “Since the majority of grad students are classified as part time students, the get very high ability students, and | think with that caliber of student they will get a very unique experience.” Varlashkin said ECU will benefit from the program in several ways. “One of the benefits will be publicity and the other is that, having once gotten the students on campus and having shown them what it's like, some of them will come infirmary will not treat them,’’ said Arrington. This means that they must seek medical attention off campus at a much higher cost “Of the 1,500 stud nts currently enrolled in graduate program at ECU, 1,300 are considered part-time students. A part-time student isn't to pay activity fees which means they have no voice in the SGA,"’ said Arrington. allowed Other drawbacks of being a part-time grad student include paying full public admission price for all concerts, Playhouse productions, athletic events and other campus sponsored activities, and being barred from the free films and guest speakers. 5 Greeks appreciate deat Orlaxcennecteriateee y) Fine craftsmanship is a tradition at ArtCarved It’s just one of the reasons ArtCarved is the world’s leading name in diamond and wedding rings.

Sullivan will be interviewing students for these positions from three o'clock to six o'clock daily. The positions available are Secretary of information, Secretary of Academic Af- fairs, Student Welfare Secretary, Secretary of Minority Affairs, and Secretary of Internal Affairs. A new position created by Sullivan, Community Relations Secretary, is also available. This position was created because ‘‘the problem between students and the citizens of Greenville is basically a problem of ignorance on both sides,”’ according to Sullivan. ‘‘They are strangers to us, and we don’t know them.”’ Sullivan said he is optimistic. If the people in the city really know what ECU students are like, ninety percent of our problems are solved, he said. My cabinet has got to be strong and creative, Sullivan said. ‘‘Much of my time will be spent on trying to heal some of the wounds from Halloween. | will also be trying to bring back some basic respect in student government. “I’m no doctor, but I'd like to try my own brand of medicine for solving the ailment which caused the Halloween disturbance.”’ The Secretary of Information will coordinate the SGA with local television and radio stations, according to Sullivan. Also, this officer will pass out information to different campus groups, and to the Fountainhead, to keep the line open. Academic Affairs Secretary handles retreats, and acts as a go between students and departments. In the past, the Student Welfare Secretary has published books on restau- rants in town, evaluated banks, apart- ments, and investigated student com- plaints. The Secretary of Minority Affairs acts as a liaison between SGA and minority students and minority organizations on campus. Finally, the Secretary of Internal Affairs will handle special projects of the SGA. This person will also handle student government relations with campus groups. SULLIVAN Continued from page 1. only qualification is that the person be willing to work,’’ Sullivan added. Sullivan also hopes during his adminis- tration to make student life a little more equitable to all students. “There are many groups of students on the campus that are usually ignored by the SGA, mainly the non-Greek day students, freshmen and blacks. I think we should work out more programs for these students,’’ he added. Sullivan will also strive to improve student-community relations in the next year ‘Nobody thought about better relations until some heads were cracked at Hal- loween. We have had some positive movement since then in the form of the recently created student post on the city Machines donated to newspaper FOUNTAINHEAD is now using two new pieces of equipment for production that were recently donated to the univer- sity The donation, which consisted of a new Compugraphic typesetter and a Compu- graphic 7200 headliner, was made during the break between Winter and Spring quarters. After training sessions with the staff using the new machinery, the equipment was placed in operation Mon day, April Sth. Total value of the donation is placed at $11,300. council. This is a good step but there is still a lot to be done,”’ Sullivan continued. Sullivan also warned some city resi- dents who he thinks are ‘‘trying to close downtown’’. ‘The downtown area has its bad points. But, to try and close this area that offers the student most of his entertainment and social life will alienate and dig even a deeper gap between the students and the community,’’ Sullivan warned. On his recent election over a field of four other candidates Sullivan admitted that he pulled a lot of underclassmen votes. “I knew I would not get a lot of senior votes since some of the major programs I have worked with in the past were not too popular with seniors. But, | did count on getting a lot of votes from freshmen and sophomores and | think that I got most of them,’’ Sullivan added. FOUNTAINHEAD editor, Mike Taylor, explained that with the donation the newspaper would save over $3,000 a year in rent and lease money that had in the past been paid to Compugraphic Corpora- tion for the use of two other machines. “In the past we have had to rent and lease machines from Compugraphic. Now we have sent the old machines back and are able to save all those funds for other purposes,’ Taylor explained. ‘While actual savings for the SGA will be small this year, there will be a tremendous savings for the SGA @ vear,’’ Taylor predicted.

To afford to pay their workers, including their brass who make more than most top figures in Washington including senators and congresspeople, the Postal Service has increasingly depended on subsidies from Congress Sen. Buckley says if the Postal Service is struck with all the expensive routes that none of the private carriers would find profitable enough, then the government would give direct subsidies to those areas Repeal of the Postal Service monopoly laws would “let the forces of competition provide this country with the kind of efficient mail service it needs and deserves,” Buckley claimed *, sport oe, on alate, Nite, . oes.

SS SS, mts aS = » SSSR SEN: FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 51, NO. 48/6 APRIL 1976 15 Student bankruptcy crackdown is possible If things really get bad for former students who can't afford to repay their educational debts, they can declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcy means no more debtors breathing down their necks, clean slates and zero credit. As the job market continues to slump, more students are taking advantage of the bankruptcy laws to relieve themselves of debts they are unable to repay. So, apparently, have many other people who have accumulated debts. But the administration and the Commission on Bankruptcy Laws have recently urged Congress to crack down specifically on student bankruptcy. In response, Congress has come up with two bills which prohibit students from discharging educational loans by declaring bankruptcy for five years after their first loan payments are due. Statistics of the Office of Education do show that the bankruptcy rate of former students 1s increasing rapidly, from 1,342 in fiscal year 1972 to 2,194 in fiscal year 1974. But as student lobbyists point out, times are tough for all debtors and the rate of bankruptcy for the general population has increased, too. Furthermore, college graduates are no longer assured of professional jobs or any jobs at all after they've paid dearly for their diplomas. The picture, student advocates say, is not one ot wile and guile on the part of former ONE HOUR KORETIZING students taking the easy way out, but one ot poor job opportynities in a depressed economy Proponents of the bill envision just such “*clever"’ students getting loans, getting out of school, declaring bankruptcy when they have no assets anyway and then finding jobs. An aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI) who has introduced one of the bills limiting bankruptcies by former students admitted that this ‘‘may not be a widespread occurrence’’ but ‘“‘it has happened a number of times. Bankruptcy is potentially a very expensive thing,”’ the aide agreed Detenders of the bankruptcy limitations for former students can point to a number of specific cases in which former students tried to cheat their way. out of educational debts. The cases include the Arkansas lawyer who owed the government $18,000 in student loans and declared bankruptcy even though he earned $11,000 annually The lawyer was later indicted for fraud. Such cases, student lobbyists contend, are the exception rather than the rule. There will always be a few bad debtors attempting to sidestep loan payments. But nowhere is there substantial evidence of students being any more guilty of occasional bouts of cheating than any other class of debtors.

But the hardship provision is vague, lobbyists claim, and the decision on whether a student was in real hardship would be ijeft to the discretion of the bankruptcy judge or referee fhe Pell bill in the Senate contains no hardship provision but would, if passed allow students to deter loan payments for any one of the five years after the loan payments were due This moratorium would only be permitted for students who were unemployed for the year. The concession was made in recognition of the rotten job market the Pell aide explained But there are no assurances that the job market is going to improve in the next decade and college graduates have been warned not to expect professional positions in their fields for awhile.

Then in the nightcap the Pirates jumped to a big lead early, survived a 40 minute delay after the third inning, and coasted to an 11-1 win. The pair of victories helped the Pirates a great deal. The ECU record in the conference is now 3-3 and the team’s verall record is now 14-3. The sweep also !

After getting the first man out, Reavis walked his first batter of the game and a chopper over his head put another man on base, as the first runner went to third following a steal. The next batter hit to shortstop Ken Gentry and Gentry threw to catcher Howard McCullough to get the runner on third, Randy McDaniel, in a rundown McCullough ran McDaniel back to third before throwing to Geoff Beaston who put the tag on McDaniel as Malcolm McLean slid in to third sately from the other side of the Dag Chris Plemmons came through with a >hot that was called just inside third which The call stood, though, and the inning ended when scored McLean with the tying run the next batter grounded a ball off Plemmons for an out Following that, the two sides settled down until the eleventh when each side scored on close calls to continue the tie at Bey In the ninth, though, ASU threatened apainst Reavis betore Feeney came on with out to retire the side The eleventh tound AS| two on and one scoring when Plemmons gained another controversial ouble just inside the line scoring McDaniel with the go-ahead run.

Two outs moved Bryant to second and set the stage for Glenn Card Earlier in the year Card had followed through in extra innings for a winning hit against Maryland and he repeated the feat here, as he stroked a single up the middle and watched Bryant score with the winning run in the opener Card, who is off to a bad start this year ind batting .204, said after the game This was especially gratitying to me because I got to do something for the team and for my parents, who don't get to see me play too often Card's parents came down trom Red Oak, Va. to see him play Card also made a comment about the boisterous and supporting crowd of students along the third-base line, the ones who set up shop after being refused admittance to the game. ‘We want to thank the guys who pulled the bus up behind the third base fence to root for us since they couldn't get in with their beer...that was great support and we appreciated it.’ Card said the greatest feeling came when Bryant crossed the plate with the winning run, ‘l enjoyed standing on first and watching the play at the plate, because I didn’t think they could beat Steve's speed.” The throw couldn't. In the second game, as so often happens after a tight first game, the Pirates had little opposition from the Apps in rolling up an 11-1 win, The Pirates’ biggest problem when the darkness caused a 40-minute delay in the game when the lights could not be turned on. After the wait the lights were which allowed the Pirates, who were up 11-1 at came finally serviced and turned on, the time, to gain the second victory fo build up that 11-1 lead, the Pirates batted around in two of the first three innings to put together a six-run first and five-run third inning The Apps’ run in the first came on an infield hit by Plemmons, a stolen base, a ground out and a run-scoring first to third double play, which also ended the inning But if there was any doubt as to the tempo of the second game, the Pirates soon cleared matters up with six runs in their half of the inning Beaston and Bryant opened with singles and scored on a triple by Stevens, who blasted the ball over the center fielder’s head to the wall. Stevens then scored on a wild pitch. Roenker walked and scored on a grounder by Robert Brinkley Wooten singled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Rick Koryda. Card walked and scored three batters later on a single by Howard McCullough. Beaston, up for the second time in the inning, forced courtesy runner Bobby Supel at second to close the inning. If the first wasn't enough to nail the ECU bunch pushed across five more runs off reliever David Farmer in the third. Mountaineers’ coffin, the Farmer, who relieved starter Terry Wincel in the first, allowed hits to Wooten and Brinkley and walked Card and Koryda before being relieved in lieu of Mike Ellis. With the bases loaded and one run already in, Ellis did not do much for the Apps. McCullough singled to score Card and the bases remained loaded. Beaston then grounded to third and when the ball rolled through the third-baseman’s legs, both Brinkley and Koryda scored to make it 10-1. Stevens’ single scored courtesv fr runner Supel with the final run. The Pirates loaded the bases, but with the skies becoming dark and the lights not operating, Roenker struck out and Card popped to third to close the inning. At this point, the game was delayed and the 40-minute wait followed before the lights became operable and the game continued, When play resumed, Durham seemed to lose some effectiveness but. still managed to hold the Apps from scoring despite four hits and three walks over the final four innings. In the sixth, ASU loaded the bases but Durham pitched out of the jam by getting the final batter to hit back to the mound.

Relays By STEVE WHEELER Staff Writer East Carolina's track team travelled to Columbia, S.C. Saturday to compete in the ten-team South Carolina State-Record Relays and came home with eighth place for the event Auburn, led by a world record tying 9.9 in the 100 meters dash by freshman Harvey Glance, won the meet with 128 points. South Carolina followed with 83.2, while N.C. State finished third with 6S. Clemson captured fourth with 61.6, while North Carolina took fifth with 61. Georgia Tech followed with 47 while Cornell garnered 37 The Pirates followed in eighth position with 27 while Furman’s 22 to take seventh and Georgia's 14.2 rounded out the field Glance was named the outstanding performer on the meet as he was the only triple winner. Other than the record performance in the 100, Glance also took the 200 meters with a wind-aided time of 20.3 and captured the long jump with a leap of 24-5 3/4 East Carolina, plagued by injuries all season, took only about 15 performers to the meet but got some good performances out of those. Calvin Alston and Sam Phillips led the East Carolina contingent at the meet with their best performances of the year Alston ran real well in placing in both of the sprints. The diminutive frosh finished sixth in the 100 meters with a time of 10.6, a time he did not agree with at all Alston said, ‘‘(Haywood) Ray, the guy from Georgia Tech, and I crossed the finish line at nearly the same time. They were credited with 10.3’s while I was stuck with 10.6. | know I had a 10.3. I guess I'm going to have to run it again for the record.” Alston also had a very fine performance in the 200 meters as he took third position with a wind-aided time of 21.0, which after being computed to yrds., yields a time of 21.1, anew varsity mark in the ECU record book. Phillips has seen little action in the past two months, but burst back onto the scene in the 110-meter high hurdles with a second place time of 14.0. Marvin Rankins, coming off an ear infection, could place only fourth with a time of 14.3 George Jackson had his best jump of the outdoor season in the long jump and placed fifth with a time of 23’, 6 1/4" Lafan Forbes was the only other individual Pirate to place in an event. The sophomore from Stantonsburg, N.C. re gistered only three tosses in the javelin throw before injuring his back and placed fifth with a throw of 200°,2”’. The ECU mile relay team of Ben Duckentield, Charley Moss, James Free man and Robert Franklin finished fourth in a time of 3:17.2 The Pirates will travel to Chapel Hill next Saturday for the Carolina Relays and will carry a limited team due to injuries. TRACK SIGNEES: Track coach Bill Carson signed two athletes to grants-in Netters win one, lose two By KURT HICKMAN Staff Writer East Carolina's tennis team lost two out of their last three matches as they went down to defeat here at the hands of N.C State on Thursday, 8-1, shutout Pembroke St., 9-0, Saturday, and lost to conference foe Appalachian St., 7-2, on Sunday. ECU's doubles team of Joe Zahran and lim Hill avoided a shutout by the Wolfpack as they were the only Pirate victors. Zahran and Hill beat State’s Allen Spizzo and Don Belsma, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. ECU coach Neal Peterson was some what disappointed with the play of his squad against State. ‘‘Our guys did not play as well against them as | felt they would,’ said Peterson. ‘‘State is very good and they have really upgraded their program. | was happy to see Zahran and Hill get their win.

Mitch Pergerson missed the matches against State and Pembroke with an ankle injury The Pirates took on their third conference foe of the year as they were beaten »v a good Appalachian St. team. Durtee was the only Buc able to win in the singles. It was an impressive victory as he deteated the Mountaineers’ Adnan Khan, 6-2, 6-2. Khan is the pre-season Southern Conference favorite in the singles competition Durfee was not finished as he and Bailey were victorious in the doubles against Khan and Randy Redfield, 3-6, 6-3, 6 As tar as we are concerned, today was fom Durtee’s day,’’ Peterson said. *‘He played extremely well and deserves a lot of credit because Khan ts a top notch tennis player.

He has also long jumped 22°, 9 1/2” Otis Melvin, also of Fayetteville, is expected to give the Pirates even more depth in the sprints. The 6'2"',1S0 pounder has run a 9.6 100 and 21,5 220. Carson commented on the two, “These two will give us a strong contingent of sprinters and we will be very deep. Tillery has run a faster 440 than anyone we have on our team this season. Melvin will add depth to our sprints.”’ INJURY LIST: Larry Austin, injured with a hamstring pull approximately two months ago at a triangular indoor meet at Chapel Hill, is expected to return and be in full shape by the conference meet.

ASU champs down ECU ,3-1 By MOLLY ANCELIN Special to the Fountainhead Appalachian State and East Carolina State intramurals met for the first time in history this week in the First Annual East-West North Carolina Baskeivall and Volleyball Championship. The champion- ship took place in ASU's Varsity Gym, and with the large crowd attendance in their favor, the home teams emerged victorious in all but one game of the tournament. The championship was held as a match-up between the top. intramural Dr. Wayne Edwards, ECU's Intramural Director and formerly the director at ASU, originated tournament as an teams from each University the idea for the opportunity to bring the students from both places together and to provide ECU students with a chance .o visit the mountains. Representing East Carolina were Alpha Xi Delta Sorority and Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, women’s and men’s 1976 volleyball champs, and Granny's Greats and Herb’s Superbs for women’s and men’s basketball, respectively. Granny's Greats won their game against ASU's champions, the Doughton Devils, 50-46, in a close match that left ASU a player short in the last minute because three of their players fouled out. Ihe Greats captured the lead during the second half after trailing most of the game, when Ann Lowdermilk came alive and scored 20 points. Center Liz White also lent fine offensive efforts to the Greats, with 18 points in her tavor. ASU won the other three games, smashing ECU in women’s volleyball 1S-4 and 15-3 in the two-game match. ASU's men’s champions deteated ECU's 15-8 and Lore: in men’s basketball, East Carolina's Herb’s Superbs played short of their top player and one of their starters, and they lost to ASU's winning Orange Blossom Special 90-87. this time it was East Carolina who lett the game short of players, with all but three of them touling out during the last minute, Ihe lead bounced between the two teams during the second half until John Barker of ASU was touled by Gary Rabon of the Superbs with less than a minute to go; Barker, the Special’s leading scorer with 44 points, made the shots and gave the home team its winning advantage. The leading scorer for the Superb's was Bob Ringer with 32 points, followed by Albert Holloman with 19 points The ASU's Special represented ASU by winning a separate tournament between ASU’s division winners, because Appala- chian’s All-Campus playoffs are not until later this week. The team is also the detending ASU All-Campus champion from last year. IN TOWN. ASK YOUR FRIENDS!

The Pirate keystoners have really put together an outstanding season so far this season by winning 14 of the 17 games through last weekend's twinbill. How the Pirates have done this is with a steady combination of good hitting and good pitching. In the games where the Pirates have not been able to hit the ball, similar to Saturday's first game, the Pirate mound corps have come through with some very good pitching to hold the load. As a matter of fact, the Pirate pitching has really faltered in only three of the 17 games thus far, and these resulted in two of the ECU defeats. Against Furman the ECU pitching staff was rocked and that resulted in the first two losses of the year for the Pirates, by 4-3 and 12-6 scores. The only other game in which the Pirate pitchers allowed more than three runs in a game was against Duke in an 11-7 ECU win, and the hitting came through in that contest. With an earned run average of 1.70 the ECU pitching staff has to be one of the finest in the nation and certainly in the southeast. The dean of the staff, Dean Reavis, has an 0.58 ERA in his six appearances and 43 innings of work and two other ECU hurlers, Keith Kurdewan and footballer Pete Conaty, stand below 2.00 on the season. The Pirates are hitting well as a team, too. Although they could muster only six hits in 49 official at bats in the opener Saturday, the Pirates came through with 12 hits in the nightcap and are hitting about .270 as a team for the season. Any baseball buff will tell you that is a pretty good team batting average. Leading the hitting barrage are Pete Paradossi, Steve Bryant, Joe Roenker, Geoff Beaston and Robert Brinkley. All are batting over .300 and Paradossi was well above the 400 mark going into Saturday's twinbill. It seems, then, that the Pirates are not hurt all that bad by the toss of record-setter Ron Staggs. Originally, the Pirates thought the loss of Staggs’ power might seriously hinder the team's strength at the plate, but newcomers Charlie Stevens, Sonny Wooten and Rick Koryda have performed well at times to give the Pirates some added strength at the plate besides the batters already mentioned. Roenker has provided ECU with some good power, but another good sign is the clutch hitting that some of the weaker hitting ECU batters have followed through with this year. Glenn Card is a good example. The senior centerfielder, who has also doubled as catcher, is batting only .193 this year, but has come through with game winning hits against Maryland and Appalachian State that helped the team, as well as his catching duty when regular Howard McCullough was benched for three games with an injury. So ECU coach George Williams seems to be using the old baseball philosophy of a strong team down the line, with good pitching, complementing good, clutch hitting.

The problem has come about though they can not bring beer into the with the continued increase of student games.” + + + + HH HH HF OF Ihe Pirates may not go on winning forever, but they have started off well this season and have a good shot at breaking the record for wins in a year, which is 23. If the Pirates continue to play the way they have so far, they should have a good shot at doing it Regardless of the final won-lost season of the team, this year’s squad has brought more interest to the game at ECU than any squad I can remember in my four years at this school The crowds have been good and so they should have been, for good baseball draws - regardless of what level one plays on A QUESTION CONCERNING POLICY AND MOTIVE lo many it may seem a trivial and unimportant matter, but in regards to the amount of comment made to me since Saturday's doubleheader | fee! some mention and comment concerning the administration’s decision to not allow beer into the games needs to be made First of all, since the beginning of the season beer has been allowed to be brought into the ECU home baseball games and many ECU students have come out to support the team with coolers, six packs or brown bags in hand. The nice weather, good baseball and opportunity to enjoy a sunny afternoon watching baseball and drinking beer has been largely the result for the good, as well as boisterous, crowds at most of the games this year But now Athletic Director Bill Cain suddenly decides that beer will not be allowed at the games because the concessions at the games have not been doing weil. What instead Cain may be doing is turning the students away from the games by not allowing them to bring their beer with them. Regardless of the sense of this, the fact remain that there were less students within the stadium Saturday than in previous games. In addition, many of the students who came with beer in hand decided, when told no go, they would not come in. Some did sit atop a bus on the third-base side outside the stadium to watch the game, but that shouldn't be necessary. i'm sure someone will catch hell for allowing the bus to be used for such purposes, but instead he should be thanked--and certainly many of the players were appreciative. Though it seems like a minor administrative move to many, especially some of the teetotalers who may be in the crowd, we feel Mr. Cain is making a grave mistake in deciding suddenly not to let beer in the game. Besides, Mr. Cain himself has said time and again how much the athletic program owes to students for their support with student fees. Then he turns around and makes such a decision as the one he has concerning the beer it hardly seems that he has any concern for the students in this case. We haven't heard any complaints from the fans who come from the city or administration concerning the students drinking beer, including when they have been rowdy and getting on the opposing team, so we don’t feel that is a valid excuse The only resolution to the situation we feel is to revoke the latest restriction and once again allow students to bring their beer into the games. The students deserve some consideration for the support they give the team and certainly we think it would be the more popular decision overall. BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING TODAY The ECU Board of Trustees met earlier this afternoon in Mendenhall to discuss many topics dealing with the athletic program and what directions it will take. Unfortunately, press deadlines prevent us from giving you these decisions in today’s press, but on rhursday there will be a report concerning any moves the school may make. ECU to play in Oyster Bowl good for them and for us. We should have a great following in this game.” The Oyster Bowl is sponsored by the Shriner's Khredive Tempie in Norfolk. For over 30 years in Shriners have staged this game as a benefit for the crippied children’s home in Greenville, S.C “This is really a big game,” continued Cain. “This is equivalent to the Shriner's game held each year in Charlotte for high schoolers, except this is much bigger and on the college level. The history of schools to participate in this game is certainly of top caliber.” The Oyster Bow! will kick off at 1:30 pm, with East Carolina being the home team. This was decided in a coin toss. The East Carolina University football team will make its first appearance ever in the Oyster Bowl in Norfolk, Va., on November 12, 1977. Contracts have been drawn for the Pirates to play the Indians of Wiliam & Mary in this annual benefit game. “| feel this is a big honor for East Carolina to be selected to be a participant in the Oyster Bowl when you consider the prestige of the event and the benefits derived for crippied children,” said athletic director Bill Cain. “This is a game we have wanted to get in for a long time.
