Circulation 8,500 ow oe OUNTGINHead — Serving the East Carolina Community for over fifty years 2 FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 51, NO. 58/18 MAY 1976 Strickland stresses law and order campaign By DENNIS C. LEONARD News Editor Tom Strickland, N.C. candidate for governor, brought his law and order campaign show into Greenville last Wed- nesday night at Parker's Barbecue. Strickland and his campaign troops provided dinner for approximately 100 supporters, reporters, and ECU students. The ECU students consumed a healthy portion of Parker's fine foods and sat back to listen to Strickland make his campaign stand. It is about time we became mature citizens and faced the reality of our rising crime in North Carolina,’’ said Strickland. “| believe in accountability, individual accountability and we may have reached a point where we depend too much on the government.” Strickiand stressed law enforcement throughout most of his speech and stated that he was a strong conservative Democrat who believed in law and order. Strickland provided a few new pro- posais he would implement if elected governor, all dealing with criminal justice in some manner. ‘First there should be some statutory changes in criminal law, there should be no probation for armed robbery. Secondly, the second felony should not be allowed a parole nor a chance for probation. My third proposal is that we change our prison systems. We should utilize the prisons more and warehouse the criminals if necessary. We should put the prisoners back on the road to make them work instead of sit in their cells.”’ According to Strickland he will be campaigning to cut down on crime throughout N.C. Strickland ended his speech on a religious note by stating how he feels about God and that he is not ashamed to admit his beliefs. After the speech Strickland permitted a short question and answer session for the college oriented audience. Fountainhead asked Strickland how he felt about gun controls, and should they be implemented. “| am against gun controls because they do not work, but anyone caught with a concealed weapon should be given a mandatory sentence,’’ replied Strickland. Strickland later stressed the need for crime control in this state even though he is against the control of fire arms. THOMAS STRICKLAND ECU faculty making unionization efforts By MONIKA SUTHERLAND Special to Fountainhead About forty faculty members at ECU attended an informational meeting of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Thursday, May 13. Phil MckKeany, executive director of North Carolina AFT, addressed the group. AFT isanational organization affiliated with the AFL-CIA. Active in every state, the AFT has 450,000 members, of which 45,000 are college teachers. According to Dr. Paul Dowell of the English department, ECU has approxi- mately 30 members, mostly from the English and Math departments. At least forty are needed before ECU can be chartered. Faculty members at UNC-Charlotte and Western Caroiina have both joined AFT and the faculty at UNC-Greensboro is considering joining. McKeany describes the organization as being ‘‘quite different’’ from other edu- cational organizations such as the National Association of Educators (NAE) and the American Association of University Pro- fessors (AAUP). “We have no administrative mem- bers,’’ said McKeany. ‘‘Everything we do is done for teachers. We are the only independent voice of teachers. We (teachers) make the biggest contribution to education, therefore we should be heard,”’ said McKeany. According to McKeany one of the most effective aspects of AFT is the collective bargaining contract. Currently there is a SGA plans transport expansion By DENNISC. LEONARD News Editor The Student Government Association Legisiature passed one of the largest appropriations ever affirmed at ECU for the expansion of the present transportation system. The costly appropriation for $55,000 allows the SGA to purchase two new buses for next year’s operation and gives the present system an added $3,000 for maintenance and operation until July 1st. According to Greg Davis, transport- ation manager, the new buses will be far superior over the ones now in operation. ‘The new buses will have flat noses and bodies which will provide a shorter turning radius, automatic transmissions, air brakes, which has half the moving parts of hydraulic brakes, extra storage room, luggage racks, and 60 gallon gas tanks which will allow the buses to be filled once every two days,’’ said Davis. The bus routes will be expanded for next year and will include a wider portion of the Greenville community. In other transportation news dealt with by the Legislature, SGA President Tim Sullivan announced Gary Miller as the new transportation manager for next year. Miller is a junior Business major from Fayetteville and has been associated with the transportation system for three years. Acoording to Davis, Gary Miller has been a vital part of the transportation system and the SGA couldn’t have found a more reliable person. NEW TRANSPORTATION MANAGER-Tim Sullivan, SGA President, and Greg Davis, Transportation Manager, brief Gary Miller, the newly chosen Secretary of Transportation for the SGA. Miller comes into office with anew appropriation of $55,000 for the purchase of two new buses and route expansion for next year. “Greg Davis came along with a good system that people have respected and used, and he has done a good job,’’ said Miller. ‘‘l am open to any suggestions from anyone and ! hope the transit system becomes one of the best around.”’ In other action the Legislature appro- priated approximately $30,000 to FOUNTAINHEAD for the summer budget and for operation during the first two months of next fall. This appropriation covers salaries, printing, production and travel expenses. An amendment was approved that allowed the hiring of a photographer during the summer session also. The Legislature appropriated $1,000 to WECU for the hiring of a Federal Communications Commission attorney to study the feasibility of the station going FM. Legislator Kennan Williams labeled the bill as the ‘'First Step’’ for the station in going FM. The Legislature defeated a bill that would allow the publication of an orient- ation brochure to ECU on the basis that FOUNTAINHEAD wouid provide the same services during the summer and make the brochures available to all students. “‘A $100 gift was given to the “Thundering Herd Memorial’ honoring the victims of the 1970 plane crash of the Marshall University football team after playing ECU in Greenville. All players aboard the plane were killed and the memorial gift will go towards the purchase of a memorial plaque. The Legislature approved the constitu- tions of REAL House and for OSHA. Ray Hudson introduced a resolution that stated the disapproval of the administration's hour limitation in the dorms on the weekends. The resolution passed unani- mously, thus ending the official duties of he 1975-76 SGA Legislature State law in North Carolina which prohibits State employees from joining a union, and teachers at all public schools including state supported universities are considered state employees. ‘Our immediate goal is for a collective bargaining law from the federal govern- ment. Either we want a new law or we want to take the state law to court,’’ said McKeany. “‘We want teachers to have more freedom in the classroom, to have input into the subjects taught and the materials used. We want the non-professional educators (trustees, administrators, etc.) out of the classroom. “By giving the teachers better con- ditions and more freedom we are freeing them of financial worries which prevent them from teaching 100 percent effective- ly. AFT is a definite benefit for education because it allows the teacher to be free to teach and therefore do a better job,’’ said McKeany. “In order to get better conditions, better salaries, and no discrimination we must have collective bargaining.’’ Prof. Donald Lawler of the English department asked McKeany where the AFT stood on the differences among various schools within the same system regarding salaries and benefits of faculty members. An example used was UNC- Chapel Hill and ECU. MckKeany said that the money should be distributed equally when allocated by the N.C. Legislature which is not the case now. “‘We want to be sure the money goes where the legislature says it should go. Somewhere someone is skimming the money off the top and spending it to increase salaries and benefits before distributing the remainder to the other schools. We want this stopped,’’ said McKeany. ‘In order for any changes to be made it must be done through coilective bargaining contracts,’ he continued. The AFT does not support agency shops said McKeany in response to a question if everyone had to join a union. An agency shop is where a teacher must pay dues but is not a member of the union. “Our collective bargaining contracts would represent non-members as well,’’ said McKeany. Another professor asks why the dues, $84.00 annually, were so high. McKeany replied that they were necessary because of the benefits of it. Of the monthly dues of $7.0, $2.64 goes to the national offic, See Union, page 3.

This means only four states have higher rates of infant mortality. The North Carolina Perinatal Council is trying to reduce these high infant mortality rates, according to Mrs. Therese Lawler. who was named to the council! last month ‘The prime function of the council is to get rid of the morbidity of high preqnancies,’’ said Lawler. who is also an associate professor in the ECU School of Nursing ‘The council is trying to dui!d a support system to give intensive comprehensive care to combat difficulties in pregnancies that arise. This includes buying equip ment, developing transport systems, and possibly absorbing the cost of some patient care. Several medical and socio-economic variables can indicate a pregnancy risk, according to Lawler. For example, previous pregnancy loss, illegitimacy, inadequate income, maternal depletion (having too many children in a short period of time), and poor nutrition can all contribute to potential infant mortality, said Lawler North Carolina also has an exceptional amount of premature births, according to Lawler This is the second year of experimental program and it is beginni~: to do well,’’ said Lawler It takes a while to get a system goir We hone doctors will eventuaily cal refer patients to us after noting a possible pregnancy risk According to Lawler, the program is state funded and has a budget of over $500,000 this year Lawler is the only member of council from Eastern North Carolina other members are physicians, nurses. and other allied health people, according tc Lawler the The nationally known perinatal teams 5 The from Duke and Chapel Hill are also on the council,’ said Lawler UNION Continued from page 2 $2.00 to the state office and $2.35 to the local group The dues cover the cost of an automatic life insurance policy in an accidental death and a $500,000 occupational liability policy. The AFT also has a legal contingency fund and sponsors lobbyists in Washington and various state capitols. ‘An example of the use of lobbyists was seen last week when the N.C legislatures voted on a raise for state teachers. The first vote of the committee was in favor of the 4 percent plus $300 cost of living increase. NCAE asked for a 16 percent raise. AFT wanted a_ straight across the board cost of living increase of $1700,’’ explained McK eany When the second vote was taken in committee it was 15-12 in favor of mandating the 4 percent increase for all faculty. The reason for the change was because of lobbying by myself and the AFL-CIA lobbyist. Although we lost in committee we still have a chance to beat jt on the ftoor,’’ said McKeany. Another question was who would be paying for the additional benefits and the increased salaries, would students have to pay an increased tuition. The AFT feels that a free education should be available to everyone therefore we try to keep tuition low as possible Whenever we introduce a pay increase we always include various ways the state can get the money such as removing the ceiling from state taxes. In no way do we want tuition to be raised,’’ said McK eany Whenever talk of unions and collective bargaining arises so does the possibility of a strike. McKeany was asked to comment on this “The AFT has been involved with strikes in the past but so has the other educational organizations. |n 1973-74 of all the strikes by teachers, about one third involved AFT, the other 67 percent were backed by NAE and AAUP. ‘We were involved in teachers strike in Pittsburg. caused by an the recent The strike was inexperienced board of education which did not know that putting teachers in jail would only agitate matters not stop them The strike the board of education improved educational benefits. We feel the negotiations could have been conducted without the strike had the board been experienced in handling problems Dr. Dowell stated that on many campuses the administration has express- ed opposition to the formation of the union Dowell said the administration at ECU was not opposed to such an organization Chancellor Leo Jenkins stated in a telephone interview that ‘‘the faculty have a perfect right to pursue membership in the AFt and it is faculty business forced negotiations with and resulted in that Greenville’s first great bicycle tour set for May 24 There will be a bicycle trip through downtown Greenville and the ECU campus next Monday as tribute to Bicycle Safety Week, going on from May 24th to the 28th According to Greenville Mayor Percy Cox, the purpose of the trip is to highlight bicycle safety week The bike trip to be called First Great Bicycle Tour 10:00 a.m., May 24th The tour will start at Five Points in downtown Greenville, will go East on Fifth St., go through campus by the old student Riggan Shoe Repair Shep & Shee Store Across trom Blount-Harvey Store Cowntown Greenville 111 W. 4th Street Greenville’s will begin at USE FOUNTAINHEAD CLASS!FIEDS SOR AIHA IAC IK A KK IK ACK IE EK BK HK union and then to the intersection of College Hill Dr. and Tenth St. The bikers will then travel down Tenth St. to Elm St the next turn will be on to14th St. and then to Charles St. The peddlers will ride on Charles St. to Cotanche St., then to Reade St..and back to Five Points.

Total appropriated but unspent funds in that May 2nd budget report totaled a whopping $108,751.22. That is the total amount of student money left sitting around in various SGA _ funded organization budgets. These unspent funds will revert to the SGA treasury July 1 and will become a ‘‘surplus.”’ If those funds were available now the SGA could spend them this year and benefit the people who paid in that money--this year’s students. But, the money is tied up in different organizational budgets and will not be returned to the SGA till July 1, so next year’s students will get the benefits from this year’s student activity fees. The fault for this carry over for funds does not lie with the SGA, but rather with the SGA funded organizations that requested the money. By asking for this money and then not spending it, some organizations have kept the SGA from having free use of this money during the school year. Some of this large amount of unspent money will be used by the end of the fiscal year June 30th. Fountainhead will have only about $2,000 left after May 30th and the Buccaneer has most of its funds left to pay for future printing. Others also have projects to fund in May and June, but still come July 1, thousands of dollars, that were requested but not spent, go back to the SGA. Those are funds collected this year that students expected to be spent but which werent. The SGA should look closely at this next year when budget time rolls around and budget clubs and organizations only as much money as they spent the previous year unless good cause can be shown to increase that budget. A group that got $25,000 this year and spent only $10,000 should get only $10,000 next year. No need to tie that money up in clubs’ budgets when the SGA’s general fund could use it. It would be better to force campus organizations to have to return at mid-year to seek additional budget requests instead of granting those clubs huge sums of money that will revert later. The SGA could also instigate a mid-year budget review of all organizations to insure they are really using all those funds they received. If an organization has spent only 25 percent of its budget at mid-year and can’t show great justification, the SGA should take back some of those unspent funds. At issue is al! the money that will come back into the SGA July le It was money collected this year and we think it should be spent this year. If the SGA does not need all that much money, then student fees should be cut. The principle of a balanced budget works both ways. You can’t spend what you don’t have, but then you should spend most of what you do have.

Well, good old ECU has completely reversed that old philosophy and today will not acoept cash. In a flyer advertising an off-campus graduate school course at Havelock, tuition must be paid by check or money order. Cash is not acceptable, according to the information brochure. While the reasoning behind seeking only checks or money orders is probably justifiable, it is still quite humorous that the economic situation has gone full circle from cash instead of checks to checks instead of cash. This new attitude could lead to the creation of a new slogan for signs over the counters at the old country store. The new slogan would read ‘‘In God we trust, others use checks!’’ Yearbook nudes The editor of a student yearbook at a college in Colorado has been catching flack lately due to the 11 photos of nude men and women students published in the college yearbook. The editor contended he was only trying to depict campus life and the photos were appropriate for that purpose. We are going to try and get a copy of this ‘‘pornographic’ yearbook and send it to our good friends at the Goldsboro paper who head up the S.O.S. (Stamp Out Smut) committee in Eastern N.C. After they reacted so strongly to this paper’s April 1 edition, we are sure they will go absolutely wild over a yearbook with 11 nude photos. Hopefully the Goldsboro paper has enough influence in Colorado to get everyone who worked on that shameful yearbook barred from any type employment there. 2 Mm ) corny SGA Sept V unlo erato is no work if decid pense perce Marti h_ Herri Sosa SS ew ( also ¢ te * q ern Me oe re FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 51, NO. 58/18 MAY 1976 5 a hanes NGS GSR EER ASE LLIN ONE LE LORNIA CLE LIISA LN GEOL ALDI LR IE GPO. Injured worker seeks accident compensation By JACK SON HARAILL Assistant News Editor An ECU student is seeking workmen's compensation from the University and the SGA for injuries received in an accident on September 10, 1974. Whitey Martin received injuries while unloading SGA student-rented refrig- erators on the mall, in the Fall of 1974, and is now taking action against ECU to claim workmen’ Ss compensation. The N.C. Industrial Commission, which decides the amount of workmen's com- paid. and the lawyer's percentage, is aiso determining who is Martin's employers. According to Mickey Herrin, Martin's lawyer, the Commission is also deciding if the benefits can be paid At a nearing called by the Commission on May 6, SGA President Tim Sullivan called for a delay until the SGA could pensation to be cs 2 4 Sullivan obtain legal counsel. At present, the SGA is represented by the University’s lawyer, according to Sullivan. If Martin were to win the case, ECU, despite whether or not it was the University’s or SGA’ s fault, would pay with SGA funds. The SGA is not conceding responsi- bility for the accident,’ Sullivan said. We'll let the courts decide that ‘The accident occurred over a year and ahalf ago and something should have been done in the acoording to As soon as the new SGA officers Maybe it would've been easier for us if we'd gone there's too much at stake meantime came in, it fell in our laps along, but concerning student fees, student responsi- bility and student safety Anybody who is injured doing work for us deserves compensation from us just as though they “were working for the RECORDERS!

In spite of bad weather, the Auxiliary had a good business. The proceeds from the sale are being donated to the North Carolina Zoological Society to help in the construction of the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. Mrs Wanda Wiseman, State President of the North Carolina Auxiliary to APWU and President of the local Greenville chapter, made the arrangements for the sale.

Ad sales, projected through the final paper Wednesday, are expected to surpass $27,000, Taylor predicted. Another $2200.00 has been canned through the sale of old equipment bringing total revenue of over $29,200 for the past nine months. “That would put this year’s sales double what was sold last year,’’ Taylor contended. But, Taylor also pointed to higher operating expenses for the paper which will wipe out any gains made towards making the paper financially self- sufficient. The paper is currently funded through the Student Government Associ- ation with student fees. Total budget expenses for the paper this printing year, which runs from Sept., 1975 til May, 1976, will run slightly over $85,000, Taylor pointed out. This includes appropriations of about $65,000 this year from the Legislature and $20,000 in carryover funds from previous years. A large slice of the budget, a record spending mark for the paper, went to cover printing costs, Taylor noted. Approximate- ty $40,000 or about 45 percent of the total budget went to cover cost of printing. Taylor pointed to the expanded size of the paper this year as one reason printing costs for the paper doubled from iast year’s printing bill. ‘The paper averaged over 22 pages an issue this year. Last year the paper only averaged about 14 pages an issue. The expanded cost pushed printing up,’’ Taylor explained. Higher cost in the printing industry also foroed the printing bill up, Taylor added. After printing cost, salaries to students took about $27,000 or 31 percent of the total budget, according to Taylor Additional personnel and pay raises of approximately 10 percent at the start of the year pushed payroll up from last year’s total, Taylor pointed out. Supply purchases took over $5100 or about 6 percent of the budget while outside labor cost and equipment purchases both took 4.8 of the budget: Another 4.2 percent went to equipment rentals and 3.6 percent to cover travel cost. Total cost per issue was placed at approximately $1400.00 with total ad revenue per issue at $450.00 by Taylor. ‘‘When you take into consideration the cost of the paper minus the total ad sales, the paper cost the SGA about $56,000. A ‘subscription’ for a student costs about $5.50 for the year,’’ Taylor explained. Taylor pointed out that ad sales for the paper go back into the SGA’s General Fund. So far approximately $18,000 in ad sales has been coilected and Taylor predicted most of the remaining $9000 would be in hand by mid-summer. ‘‘Overali | am pleased with the budget situation this year advertising-wise, We had a great year, thanks mainly to the efforts of Ad Manager Mike Thompson. | told him at the start of the year | wanted us to expand our advertising sales io provide students with more ad information. And, with our sales up 200 percent from last year he has obviously done an outstanding job,’’ Taylor explained. Taylor pointed out that there were several items in this past year’s budget that could be trimmed from next year’s budget that could cut costs ‘This year we spent money on equipment rental and equipment purchase for machinery. This machinery will be here next year owned by the paper at no cost so as much as $10,000 spent this year will not be necessary next year,’’ Taylor noted. Budget-wiSe, total appropriations for the paper should go down some, Tayior predicted. ‘““Of course you can’t tell how much printing will cost, that is one area subject to quick increases,’’ Taylor warned. ‘*One thing that everyone should understand is that printing a paper is an expensive business. It represents a big loss to the SGA but it is well worth the cost,’ Taylor concluded.

Phil McKeany, state represeniative of the national teacher’s union, was present to lead the meeting and to answer questions posed by the more than thirty members present. The American Federation of Teachers is a professional organization whose purpose, according to Paul Dowell, Pro- fessor of English and one of the organizers of the ECU local, is to ‘promote the welfare of professor, student, and univer- sity alike. We're all interested in salaries, of course,’’ Professor Dowell said. ‘But beyond that is the problem of providing the most favorable atmosphere possible for learning. That's what we hope the AFT will help us do.”’ The American Federation of Teachers draws much of its strength from its grass roots association with the AFL-CIA. ‘The vast resources and lobbying clout with governmental agencies and officials make the AFL-C.O an indispensable ally in JUNK Continued from page 8. Wisc., has gone a step further removed the machines altogether. Burlington's high school had a dozen machines, which dispensed sandwiches, ice cream, milk, candy, soft drinks and other snacks. The school received a net profit of 10 to 15 per cent on most items, but Supt. R.M. Sorenson said, ‘‘It’s just not right to make a profit by encouraging improper eating habits.”’ Students in Burlington originally pro- tested the schools’ taking any action against the vending machines. But that stormy student reaction has ebbed, and more hot lunches are now being served in the schools. Similar protests have subsided in Dallas, where this school year, candy and soft drinks in the vending machines were replaced by milk, fruit and nuts. and Despite the unhappiness of some students, many government leaders — both national and local -- believe that the eating habits of young people must be improved. When Sen. George McGovern wrote an introduction to a new staff report of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition, he proclaimed nutrition to be the nation’s No. 1 health problem. “The threat is not beriberi, pellagra or scurvy,’’ wrote McGovern. ‘‘Rather, we face the more subtle, but also more deadly, reality of millions of Americans loading their stomachs with food which is likely to make them obese, to give them high blood pressure, to induce heart disease, diabetes and cancer — in short, to kill them over the long term. ‘‘We face the tragedy of anemic children failing in school and repeating that pattern of failure throughout their shortened life,’’ he added.

Paradoxical as it may seem for such an excellent conoert, the lead guitarwork, drumming, and keyboards (when not played by Paul) were all too forgettable. The weight -- and rightly so, | suppose -- rested on McCartney himself, and because he carried it so beautifully, the concert was a smashing success In sharp contrast with George Harri son's aloof presence at his Capital Centre concert in late 1974, McCartney was constantly pointing out to people in the audience, smiling and joking with them and quite obviously enjoying his return to stage. The audience, which was a complete sell out crowd, was packed to the rafters and McCartney’ s appearance on stage was greeted with a literal deafening roar of applause, shouts, and a tremendous sigh of relief by many in the audience who were having a long standing desire fulfilled by seeing him on stage. Though Beatlemanja has been long dormant, there actually were girls on the floor pushing their way forward with cries of ‘Paul, Paul...’’ hoping for a look of — y rernember t smile their way, still enmeshed in ings then re adolescent fantasy.

A barrage of rockers were thrown out like ‘Letting Go’’, ‘‘ Medicine Jar’, ‘‘Magneto and Titanium Man’, ‘‘Let Em In’, and most notably ‘‘Time to Hide’’ and ‘Beware My Love’’ from AT THE SPEED OF SOUND album. They brought the tone down to close the regular show with ‘‘ Band On the Run’’ from the album of the same name. The entire last section of rockers was a non-ending stream of music followed by roaring applause followed by more music and more applause and so on with gach song increasing the frantic element of the applause a little more When Wings left the stage after '‘ Band On the Run’’, the applause level was beyond that of ear distortion. Returning to Stage to answer the crowd's pleas, McCartney took special note of how fantastic the Capital Centre crowd had been and then gave a two song encore which included ‘Hi, Hi, Hi’’. After this he said, ‘‘We'll see you next time around”’ and left arm in arm with Linda Probably the highlight of the entire show was McCartney's most virtuostic instrument - his voice. Again contrasting with Harrison’ s weak, tired, worn-out voice of the 1974 tour, McCartney's was in peak shape and he used it to its fullest capacity living up to and surpassing concert v—cal expections. It was clear that the showman side of McCartney was still very much alive with all of his playful catering to crowd response and equally as clear that Wings is still ‘‘Paul McCartney and his band’’. Almost the entire show revolved around his every move which pointed out Wings to really just be a backup band type situation but the greatest enjoyment and satisfaction for the overflow crowd who had come to see one of rock’s alltime greats was that he did not try to hide within a band and give a low key stage presence. Rather he grabbed up the crowd from the very beginning and took them for a musical ride that could leave no one asking for a_ better performance FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL NO. 58/18 MAY 1976 ] Z FOUNTAINHEAD/VOL. 51, NO. 58/18 MAY 1976 ENTERTAINMENT Director Roeg’s genius reemerges, : By LARRY S. SLAUGHTER The Man Who Fell to Earth, a new film release starring David Bowie, will seize the theatre circuit this summer. The science fiction epic will reveal yet another feature of the remarkable Bowie personality in his first dramatic role. The film will be distributed by Cinerna 5 in the United States. The Man Who Fell to Earth has already provoked very flattering criticism from British critics. Lines of artistic comparison have been drawn to Clockwork Orange and 2001 by several critics although some have remarked that Man Who Fell to Earth's thematic intentions are far more deep and twisty than the Kubrick efforts. The film, shot during the summer of 1975 in New Mexico, will co-star Candy Clark (of American Graffitti fame), Rip Torn and Buck Henry and will iiluminate the creative lenses of Antony Richmond and Steve Shapiro. More importantly, The Man Who Fell to Earth wiil establish Britain’ s Nicolas Roeg as one of the more talented visionaries of the cinematic world, displaying his profound genius as a director for possibly his first big commer- Cial success. Roeg’s profile dates back to his earlier efforts as a cinematographer for Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and Darling. Not until 1968 did Roeg get his first opportunity to direct the flamboyant Performance. Although a favorite of cultish filmgoers, Performance died at the box-office due to its poor distribution, an X rating and its unconventional and quasi-mystical over- tones. Performance, however, was the only film to authentically render the psychedelic drug experience without falling into the mire of kitsch. Roeg’s subsequent film, Walkabout (1971), also succeeded artisti- cally but unfortunately slept at the box office. Roeg’s most striking effort, Don’t Look Now (1973), failed commercially to another less honorable occult feature of that year, The Exorcist. Whereas The Exorcist dealt with the supernatural on a juvenile and sensational level, Roeg’s Don’t Look Now oeprated in a phenomeo- logical fashion as an acute speculation on levels of perception and reality. It rernains the most beautift d sophisticated horror filmtodate. Each meof Don't Look Now is an abyss of intricate mystery and psychedelic terror. But even the finely crafted performances of Donald Sutherland ROEG DIRECTS BOWIE and Julie Christie as a frightened vogue couple trapped in three dimensional space and time could not save Don't Look Now from overdosing the average aisle-sitter who had come for a simple scare show. Several thematic trends are peculiar to Roeg’s vision. All of his films concern psychological man and his involvement with out-of-the-ordinary experience. Roeg’s celluloid creations climax in varying spiritual transformations. In Performance, Chas (James Fox), a small-time hood, finds his world-view extremely altered by the mystical and postconventional affections of the ambisexual Turner (Mick Jagger). The film merges genres, past, present and future, sexual identities and creates a visionary reality where all experience is one. Chas’ final performance is his killing of Turner to achieve spiritual fusion with the other. Roeg portrays this seeming violence as an ecstatic act of love. Walkabout finds two children stranded on the Aborigine outback. These children come to represent all persons who are forced into a new experimental reality. The film holds the same disturbing visual quality of Performance and culminates similarly in an act of ecstatic violence which is portrayed as a consciousness expanding event. In Don’t Look Now, the acceptance of a new reality is also realized by Donald Sutherland only until he meets his shared the theme of cosmic awareness that permeated Roeg’s previous efforts but was pessimistically undermined. The universe suggested in Performance and Walkabout provoked an examination of human values. Don’t Look Now regarded human values as insignificant to the workings of synchroni- city and fate in a universe of radical evil. Roeg’s fascination with the color motif dates back to his collaboration with Francois Truffaut on Farenheit 451 [1966]. In Performance, Roeg extended his symbolic affection for the color red into the uncompromising violence of that contro- versial movie. Roeg’s use of the red motif in Don’t Look Now was so intricately patterned into the dark terror of that film that fragmented symbol seekers were frightened by red raincoats, dwarves and even stoplights, carrying their fright out of the theatre with them. Common to all Roeg ventures is his ability to move the viewer into the acquisition and use of new modes of perception. Image fragments constantly resurface in Roeg’s films; we begin to look for key patterns in such repetitions. We are led to the assimilation of similarities and contrasts in the auditory and visual elements of his films. Such active participation is necessary to grasp Roeg’s vision. For example, the skill of interpret- ing non-ordinary reality in Don't Look Now was a matter of life and death. Roeg crafts his works with an insistence a Re : : 7 on detail; he arranges each element as carefully as one places the tiles in a cathedral mosaic. Such preoccupation with detail lends his films a subliminal quality. Consequently, a film such as Don't Look Now demands more than one viewing. The Man Who Fell to Earth is Roeg’s most ambitious work to date. It chronicles estraterrestrial ‘Thomas Jerome Newton's (David Bowie) fall to a corrupted planet Earth. Newton’s mission on Earth is to return to his native Andrea with an ample water supply. His stay on Earth, however, finds him captive to a huge corporation, a full-time lover (Candy Clark) and an unhealthy affection for alcohol. Variety spoke of the film as elaborate and tagged Roeg ‘‘as one of the major talents of this part of the world.’’ Variety added that Bowie has been so perfectly cast as Newton that it will be difficult to dissociate him from the role in future films. The film will reveal elaborate sets dating from the streamlined era of the Fifties to the slick electronics of the seventies. The lush musical score is attributed to composer Bowie and musical director John Philips. RCA will release the soundtrack in the immediate future. Bowie remarked, ‘‘I’d like to see the film do well and make a lot of money, especially for Nick (Roeg). I'd like to see him get a bigger audience. He deserves it. Roeq had that - what would you call it - vision...like not many. Maybe Truffaut. My character in the film is essential man, man in his pure form who's brought down by the corruption around him. It’s the story of aman who falls in love and becomes an alcoholic. (Bowie laughs). No, it’s not quite | that simple.” The Man Who Fell to Earth will reveal Roeg still absorbed in the intricacies of human reality and those questions left unanswered by our limited capacities to perceive the world in which we exist. Roeg will probably continue his trend to only suggest answers to metaphysical specu- lations and the ambiguities of the human condition. Indeed, Roeg’s most astonishing attribute as an accomplished director resides in his special talent for cleverly suggesting the existence of new and perhaps disturbing realities. The job of his vision is contained in his profound sense of awe and wonder for the universe which so many people have lost and others have never found. above " BOWIE STRIKES an extraterrestrial PO, for ‘‘Man Who Fell To Earth’. ¥ a I left tit (x JULIE CHRISTIE has been warned ax her husband's fate by a blind and psyd,," sister in ‘Don't Look Now’’.

The New York ruling came in a suit filed by Martin C. Alevy, an honor student at Brooklyn College who was denied admission to the Downstate Medical Center of the State University of New York. Alevy claimed that his right to equal protection guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution had been denied because o” special preference given to minority applicants. Alevy is white. Reverse discrimination became a public issue as the number of affirmative action programs for minority groups increased. With competition for jobs and professional school slots growing cutthroat, the issue mushroomed into an emotional and as yet unsettled controversy. A growing number of white males have complained that their constitutional rights were being denied when programs in hiring and education gave preference to minority groups. Suits charging reverse discrimination have been filed against universities and professional schools around the country. ‘It would be ironic,’’ said the New York court in outlining its stand, ‘‘were the equa! protection clause used to strike down measures designed to achieve real equality for persons whom it was intended to aid.”’ But in acknowledging the constitution ality of reverse discrimination, the court emphasized that ‘‘it must be shown that a substantial interest underlies the policy and practice,’ and that no ‘‘less objection- able racial veaieignaceecdl — serve the fr} BARBEQUE i 7 BEEF TIPS eMr= Green salad & Taters Rib» $2.95 Phone 758-9566) ape 100vi wack 706 Evans St. + (Chesed f0t0 1) & tte 43) NEED RESUME PHOTOS?

A suit filed by an unsuccessful white applicant to the medical school at the University of California at Davis is awaiting decision by the California Supreme Court. A University attorney speculated that whoever lost in the California Supreme Court would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The nation’s highest court has already faced the question of reverse discrimi- nation once, in the celebrated Defunis case, when a white male sued the University of Washington Law School for discriminating against him because he was white. But the Supreme Court side-steppe the issue by ruling that the case was MOO, since Defunis was allowed to attend t school pending a decision, and was on t verge of graduating at the time his cas } reached the high court. Neither side was pleased with thi by decision. But the Supreme Court w undoubtedly have a second chance to he: this complex social question.

It’s part of the hazing carried out by upperclassmen, who some- times keep first year cadets from eating in order to instill discipline. For Cadet Steven Verr, a former marathon runner used to eating more than 12,000 calories a day during training, the strain of two days without food was too much. He cried because of frustration and hunger, lied to cover up the real reason when questioned by upperclassmen and now faces expulsion for lying The Academy's strict honor code says that cadets ‘‘wiil not lie, steal or cheat, or tolerate those that do.’’ The only penalty is dismissal Verr’s case has added to the weight of the honor code, already under the strain of similar cases against 49 cadets accused of cheating on an electrical engineering test. Critics inside the Academy are charg- ing that the honor code might do more harm than good, binding cadets together to beat the system. They also charge that honor code violations are often judged in disregard of due process. Cadet Verr, for instance, was interro- gated ‘‘after taps, perhaps around mid- night, by honor board representatives with a tape recorder,’’ his attorney claims. “That's flatly against regulations, but that wasthe honor board doing it,’’ Capt. Arthur Lincoin alleged. Lincoin also claimed that the cadet honor chairman had been challenged off the board because of a personal! interest in Verr's case, but stayed anyway and offered comments. ‘‘One of the problems of the honor committee is that it fails to follow its own rules and regulations,’’ Lincoln said. $2.55 GCharcoaled Fh ge ) aa Bar - B-Q Baby Chicken Green Salad & Taters Phone 758-9568 706 Evans St. 7O0V2A Week, ciesed tote 11 & Mre BEAUTIFUL PEOP DANCERS Get all your Spring and Summer leotards and supplies NCW!

The Academy charged 101 cadets with cheating. Three resigned, 49 were cleared and another 49 are waiting for an appeal in late May to find out if they will be able to continue at the Academy. The lawyer for the cadets still waiting in the judicial limbo charges that verdicts were fixed and bribes were made in an attempt to influence votes of honor board members. Academy offi .als deny his claim, saying that there are ‘‘too many gate- keepers in the system for that to happen Unnamed cadets have said, however, that cheating has been widely practiced and condoned. The Academy, they say, has estricted its investigation to save face with taxpayers and avoid decimating its upper classes. One cadet who contacted the New York Times said he gave his examination paper to eight other recruits, ‘‘none of whom were even questioned’’. Another said that nearly half of the 900-member junior class was involved in cheating. They assert that the Academy is trying to keep the true scale of cheating under wraps, since taxpayers who front the H.D. LEE" keeps you looking good on campus or off in jeans of Cone denim.

Still in the rumor stage, the report links ECU with plans to join a Southeastern L basketball conference and/or a mid-Atlantic athletic conference. t Stories concerning the basketball conference lists ECU as one of 23 schools which have r been extended invitations to attend a meeting on May 26 in Atlanta, Ga. The meeting is reportedly to discuss the possibilities of forming a conference among NCAA Division | F basketball independents which would be eligible to gain one or more berths in the NCAA t tournament. @ The initiative for the meeting was begun by Dr. Glenn Wilkes of Stetson University. vWilkes is the basketball coach and Athletic Director at the Deland, Fla. school. According to Wilkes, the purpose of such a conference was to gain some recognition $for Southern independents that have ‘‘for so long been ignored by the NCAA Regional ¢ selection committees.’ ¢ ‘All of us are concerned that the NCAA selection committee has by-passed Southern independents for the last several years,’’ said Wilkes. ‘‘When selecting participants in pthe NCAA basketball tournament we've been by-passed. y A combination of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference receiving four pautomatic berths and the conference runners-up being eligible has reduced the number of independent selections. All of this has come at the expense of the Southern _independents.’ ' Wilkes added that the formation of an informal association for the benefit of all schools fpublicity-wise might aid the Southern independents. “If we joined together into an association,’’ said Wilkes, ‘‘paid dues, appointed committees to meet with the NCAA, with television and other media, employed a publicity director to make weekly press releases regarding standings, etc., it would enhance our position.”’ ECU Athletic Director commented that ECU would be present at the meeting. ‘We will look into this and other ways in which we can move along and upgrade our program after we leave the conference.” The other conference news deals with reports that say ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins thas extended invitations to five other schools to meet in Richmond in mid-June to discuss formation of a mideastern athletic conference. According to reports, Jenkins has asked presidents and athletic directors from five other schools to meet in Richmond to discuss the formation of the conference. The schools eportediy asked to attend are Richmond, William and Mary, Virginia Tech, South rolina and West Virginia. The move was apparently initiated by ECU after it was assured that the ACC has no lans whatsoever to expand in the near future, but Jenkins would not comment on the tuation. The invitations were reportedly mailed out last Thursday and Jenkins is supposed to ave talked at length to officials at Richrnond and the University of South Carolina cerning the possible meeting in mid-June. West Virginia, Virginia Tech and South Carolina at one time were members of an thletic conference, but since 1971 ail three schools have been independents. Richmond has recently dropped out of the Southern Conference, effective June 1, and CU is leaving that loop as of July 1 of next year. William and Mary is still a member of the Southern and has made no announcements sonoerning dropping out. It is rumored, though, that the school is thinking strongly in that jirection. The timing of the meeting is reportedly set to tie in with the reclassification by the NCAA of Division One football. All six schools want to remain in the top football level, but he NCAA will not announce a decision concerning reclassification until the first two days n June. The latest reports of this new conference possibility backs up reports that OUNTAINHEAD received a month ago.

Wooten outdistanced the best sprinters from both states by winning the 100 meters and 220 yard events. Wooten ran a 10.5 in the 100 meters and a time of 20.9 for the 220. He was the only double winner for the North Carolina team.
