ACLU may form here
By ROBERT McDOWELL
Fountamhead Ciiv Bureau
Greenville may soon have an
American Civil Liberties Union
chapter - the only one in this
part of the state.
About 40 people attended
an organizational meeting here
last Thursday night.
The Rev. W.W. Finlator,
pastor of Pullen Memorial
Baptist Church at Raleigh and
a member of the board of
directors of the North Carolina
affiliate of the ACLU.
explained the purpose of the
union:
To ensure the enforcement
of the Bill of Rights for the
protection of the rights and
freedoms of any individual
within the legal process.
The controversial minister-
has worked with such
organizations as the North
Carolinians against the Death
Penalty and groups aimed at
ending United States
involvement in Vietnam.
Most recently he has voiced
opposition to the
establishment of private
"Christian academies" to avoid
desegregation in the public
schools.
Finlator explained the
ACLU's function in protecting
every citizen's rights as
guaranteed by the Bill of
Rights and other constitutional
amendments.
The ACLU, Finlator said,
has defended avnwed Nazis and
Communists, members of the
Student Non Violent
Coordinating Committee, and
members and knights of the Ku
Klux Klan.
Most of the ACLU's
publicity centers around its
legal counselors, but laymen
also play an important role by
acting as laison between the
legal apparatus and the
community, Finlator said
Laymen aiso help in
community action programs,
he said. They act as researchers
and assistants to the legal staff,
and they have helped get the
Bill of Rights into the teaching
curnculums in elementa
schools.
Aftet Finlator's talk,
prospective members were
given a chance to ask questions
and make application for
membership.
If enough memberships are
received, application for
chapter status will be made to
the state affiliate.
Jerry Paul, a Greenville
lawyer and spokesman for the
ACLU, said he anticipates no
difficulties in attaining chapter
status once the required
number of memberships is
reached
Applicants included
students, faculty members of
East Carolina University, and
professional people.

Physics Dept. gets grant
The Department of Physics
here has received an S84.400
grant from the National
Science Foundation
The grant covers a
three-year period, and is a
cooperative effort between the
Department of Physics and
cooperating junior colleges in
eastern North Carolina.
Under the grant, students
can transfer from a junior
college to East Carolina where
they can receive either a
bachelor's or master's degree.
Hopefully, these students will
teach physics at the junioi
college level.
Also, the grant will provide
for further training of physics
teachers through conferences
dining the academic year and
workshops during the summer.
This is to help the students
update then knowledge in
physics.
This is the second grant Fast

Baeyens: French favor Pompidou I Course in French
"The French people are
happy with their newly elected
president, Georges Pompidou.
They no longer will have so
many referendums, as in the
government of Charles de
Gaulle. They are also happier
because Pompidou believes in
more public speeches and
television presentations than
did De Gaulle. The people like
to know what is going on in
their government
Andre Baeyens, legal advisor
and cultural relations officer
for the French Embassy in
Washington, D.C, made those
statements Tuesday night in
Joyner Library Auditorium.
Dr. Ralph Hardee Reeves
arranged the lecture.
Baeyens has been in the
diplomatic service since 1957.
"There is a clash of ideas
between Pompidou and De
Gaulle. De Gaulle is a military
man and Pompidou is more a
professor and teacher" Baeyens
said.
This caused people in the
audience to ask how the
French about the war in
Vietnam.
"Pompidou and the new
French society feel the
solution to this conflict is not
military but political, and that
France must remain in strict
neutrality because peace talks
are now on French soil he
said.
Baeyens also talked about
the history of France.
In 1944, he said, De Gaulle
helped the black African
colonies get their
independence. In 1945 the
French women voted for the
first time, he said.
Under De Gaulle's Fifth
Republic, he said, the people
of France were able to vote for
the legislative offices and
president of the republic.
In the Fourth Republic, he
said, voters were able only to
vote in legislative elections.
The prime minister is
selected by the president,
Baeyens said.
During a question and
answer period after the lecture,
Baeyens was asked about the
present relationship between
the French and the Americans.
"Since the death of John
Kennedy there hf.sn't been a
visit from General De Gaulle to
the United States, nor did
Lyndon Johnson visit France
Baeyens said.
Presiden: Nixon has visited
France 'his year, and
Pompidou i schcy! ied tc visit
the U uteri States next
February, Baeyens said.
With a better understanding
of the French people and a
little more patience with the
new French society, Americans
and Frenchmen should be able
to renew an old alliance.
"The key phrase in the new
French society is participation
a phrc.se that should be used
by any society Caeens said.

ANDRE BAEYENS
French ambassador.
Len Mancini was elected
speaker of the 1969-70
legislature yesterday
afternoon.
In a single vote, he won
over Steve Sharp and Wayne
Eads.
A complete story will
follow in Thursday's
Fountamhead.
?:?:?:?:
The French department here
is working on plans for a six or
seven week course in French to
be taught abroad probably in
Tunisia.
A group of students and a
professor would travel to a
French speaking country where
they would study the language
as well as have fun.
In such an atmosphere the
student would be forced to
speak French out of necessity.
Dr. Mansour Bejaoui has
contacted several embassies for
help in setting up the program.
The university has received
several gifts from the embassies.
These gifts include lists of
movies and slides which can be
ordered and weekly newspapers
in three languages from the
Belgium embassy.
The French embassy has
given the library fifty books and
has sent several newspapers.
The question of where to
have the program has come up.
Among the French speaking
countries being considered are
France, Switzerland, North
Africa, parts of black Africa,
Canada, Belgium, and Tunisia.
Canada was immediately
ruled out because the student
would be able to use English and
come in contact with English
people too easily.
The cost of such a program is
guaranteed to be the cheapest
program offered at any
University in the United States,
Bejaoui said. There is no definite
orice now but all of this wiil be
decided by December.
Tins program would be a
summer program. If it works
out, Bejaoui hopes to be able to
set up an extended program for
anywhere from one term to an
entire year.
Tunisia seems to be the most
favorite for such a program.
Here the State Department will
offer scholarships for cne year
to the University of Tunis.
At the university is a
well-known international body
of professors. These professors
are from the University of
Sorbon, the United States,
Germany, and other places. Only
five per cent of them are from
Tunisia.
The government of Tunisia
offers the use of classrooms,
laboratories and dormitories
free of charge.
They are also thinking of
offering a bus which could be
used to tour such places as
Carthage and the coliseums. This
would enable the student to see
different cultures side by side.
The purpose of such a
program is to enable the student
to see how the people live for a
deeper understanding of the
language, literature, and history
of the country, Bajaoui said.

ROTC flights begin at ECU Ru,es ,isted for tick?t sales
East Carolina's ROTC flight
instruction program began last
week.
Bob Ray took the first flight
at the Pitt-Greenville airport.
Other cadets in the program
are Ronald Braumhardt, Bill
Thaxton and Steve Bierma.
To qualify for the program, a
cadet must be in his fourth year
of college, must have at least a C
average, and must be mentally
and physically fit.
The tests for qualification are
st ingent, especially the physical.
Bob said that if a student has
any type of defect, he is
immediately ineligible.
The cadet also must take the
Air Force Officer Qualification
Test and the Pilot and
Navigation Test.
Civilian personnel teach the
trainees to fly a Cessna-150. The
students fly a total of 36Y2
hours. Fifteen of these are solo.
After a final exam and a 100
mile cross-country solo flight,
the cadet receives his pilot's
license.
Before actually getting in the
plane, the student must attend
32 hours of ground shcool. In
this course, he learns Federal
Aviation Agency regulations,
navigation, and meterology.
Col. John Duffus supervisor
of the program here, says that all
those involved in the program
are really enthusiastic. He said
the program serves as a test of
the cadet's aptitude and interest
in flying. It helps him realize his
own capabilities and decide
whether he is really suited for
flying, Dufus said.
Since this program is being
sponsored by the Air Force, the
cadet has to pay nothing.
Besides being free, it prepares
the trainee for Officer's Training
School. He will have an
advantage over thy other cadets
because he already knows how
to operate an airplane.
The program will end in
December. Twenty cadets are
included in next year's program.
The F.F.A. selects the trainee at
the end of his sophomore year.

Now this is student
Student dissent over the $5
fee for picking up activity
cards late arose last week with
complaints to the SGA and the
student newspaper.
SGA President John
Schofield took action
Thursday to bring activity card
fees and penalties back under
the control of the student
government.
According to Schofield, the
SGA handled activity cards
until around 1964 when the
Registrar's office was asked to
take it.
Back to SGA
Schofield said that he was
approached by several students
last week with excuses
legitimate enough to warrant
suspension of the penalty.
Talks with Registrar Worth E.
Baker settled the matter by
returning it to student hands.
Fountainhead received
similar complaints at the end
of the week. George Dunn, a
student, told this story:
"At 10 minutes after 4:00
p.m. on an arbitrary date set
by Mr. Worth E.Baker, I was
told by a secretary of the
Registrar that I could be made
to pay $5 even though I was
not informed of the fine, and
even though I was only 10
minutes late, and even though I
did not receive a temporary
activity card in the first place.
"Therefore I replied that
nobody could make me pay for
something I had already paid
for, or I'd go directly to the
newspaper with the problem.
"At this time she called in
Mr. Baker who said that I
would get nothing from his
office by using threats and
coersion. I tried to explain that
I was not threatening, but
promising.
"I attempted to explain the
circumstances, but I was told
that neither Mr. Baker or the

people there were interested in
my problems.
"After being called a jackass
by Mr. Baker, I still went back
to apologize for my
ungentlemanly conduct to Mr.
Baker and one of the lad.es
involved. My wife and I left
with our activity cards.
"This is a splendid example
of the I don't-care attitude of
the administration toward the
students and their problems.
Schofield acts
Fountainhead took the
complaint of George Dunn and
others like hin to the SGA,
finding that John Schofield
acted on the
had already
matter.
A board has been appointed
as a quasi-judicial body to
determine the validity of
excuses in picking up activity
cards late.
Waived fees
Bob Robinson, member of
the board along with John
Dixon and Dan Summers, said
that clear waivers of the late
fee would be granted in "cases
of bureaucratic bungling where
the student was supposed to
but still did not get his card
and in "cases where the
student was prevented from
picking up his card by forces
outside his control
The board began processing
cases last Thursday. It has been
decided that in cases where the
student alone is responsible for
not getting his card, payment
of the penalty will be
suspended until Oct. 7 when
the Student Legislature has had
time to act, with activity cards
being issued in the meantime.
Schofield said the fee may
be cut in half. It was noted
that whatever the fee, the
board has no authority over
lost cards, and payment will be
required.
Rewording
Longrange plans to curb
student dissent include
rewording the temporary
activity card, which Schofield
termed "ambiguous and
making arrangements for more
publicity before the deadline
for picking up cards.
The board will meet again
from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday,
Sept. 30, Tues Oct. 7, and
Thursday, Oct. 9.

? Negro politics
Dr. William Troutman, head
of the political science
department, will speak on
"The Negro in Politics" at 6:30
p.m. Oct. 5 at the Baptist
Student Center.
This will be the opening talk
in a series of "Black Awareness
Forums" sponsored by the
campus chaplains.
The purpose of the forums
is to promote an understanding
of the Negro race in America.
"Patterns of segregation in
housing, schools and types of
employment have permitted
the white majority to be
unaware of the aspirations,
qualities and culture of the
Negro race. It is this ignorance
that engenders the conscious
and unconscious forms of
racism so prevalent in
American society. It is hoped
that these forums will be a
vehicle to bring the expertise
of the university community to
the service of the people in
Greenville an advance notice
for the forum says.
Future themes for the
forum include literature,
music, and history. Faculty
members will lead the sessions.
Afterwards there will be a
question and discussion period.
? Plans lecture
Dr. H.A.I. Sugg of the
political science department

Making the pottery, Smith

BUTCH COLSON goes for 13 yards against LSU
Photo by Tom Ravmon
Colson: new record?
Butch Colson, East Carolina
University's fullback, is almost
certain to establish an all time
school record for rushing
Saturday night when the
Pirates go after their first win
of the season against The
Citadel in Ficklen Stadium.
Colson, the 205 pound
senior from Elizabeth City, is
just 53 yeaids away from Dave
Alexander's career record of
2002 yards. Already the owner
of the Southern Conference
single season rushing record,
Colson added 116 yards last
Saturday night to his mounting
total and carried the ball 23
times to run his career total to
474 carries. He already had
established a record for the
total number of carries and
now each time he handles the
ball he sets another.
In total offense, Billy
Wightman leads the team for
the season after posting a
personal single game career
high for himself Saturday night
with 155 yards of which 229 is
by rushing.
On a percentage basis,
Colson is the team's leading

passer as well as in yardage
gained. He has attempted only
10 passes, completed five for
67 yards.
As a team the Pirates have
an edge on their two
opponents, Louisianna Tech
and East Tennessee in almost
every department except the
big one points. Overall, East
Carolina has counted up 599
yards in total offense to 504
for the opposition Of that
total, 463 yards has been on
the ground. In passing,
however, the opposition has a
major edge, 320 yards to 136
One other vital department
in which the opposition has
had the edge is in penalties,
where the Pirates have been
assessed with 135 to 121.
Against Louisiana Tech,
however, East Carolina was hit
for only 20 yards.
Other plusses show the
Pirates on top in first downs
with 41 and in total number of
offensive plays run, 162 124
Coach Clarence Stasavich
and his staff are also proud of
the kick coverage record of the
Pirates this season. The Bucs
have allowed their two
opponents a mere 53 yards in
kickoff returns and 17 in punt
returns. This was particularly
impressive Saturday night
against Louisiana Tech, a team
which has an outstanding
record at returning kicks.

'Real thriller9 forecast
for game with Citadel
When one begins talking
bout East Carolina and The
Citadel on football he should
dig back into the record books
for their history. Football to
these two arch rivals has always
been important, and this
week's game is no exception.
Over the years East East
Carolina has amassed a record
of 5 wins and 2 setbacks
against the Bulldogs since they
first began their clashes in
1951. It was not until 1963,
however, that ECU scored their
first victory. Since then it has
been a constant struggle
between both teams for the
upper hand.
Good record
Since coach Clarence
Stasavich's tenure at ECU, the
Pirates have enjoyed a record
of 5 wins against one defeat.
The one defeat came in 1967
when The Citadel nosed out
ECU 21 19.
Long time fans of the
Pirates will possibly remember
such names as Sandy Siler or
Dwight Shoe way back in 1951
when ECU and The Citadel
made their football debut.
That particular game ended in
a victory for the Bulldogs 21-7,
but the Pirates are hoping that
such a fate will not be the case
this Saturday.
Game predictions
The game this week should
be very interesting since both
teams are predicted to be
strong conference contenders
this season. Citadel coach Red
Parker feels that the Bulldogs
will have a good season if the
Sophomores can effectively fill
positions vacated by some
sixteen Seniors.
Two standouts to watch are
All American candidate John
Small and Tony Passender.
Small is a 6 4, 245 linebacker,
rated by coach Parker as one of

Quarterback Passender, 6-0,

excellent year if he stays
healthy.
East Carolina will counter
with a fine defensive line and
an experienced backfield.
Senior standouts in the
backfield will be fullback
Butch Colson and tailback
Billy Wightman both of whom
are in top condition for a
successful year.
?Real thriller
If past games are any
indication for what is to come
sports fans can be assured of a
real thriller. Take the 1963
match-up played in Charleston,
S.C. when The Citadel was a
heavy favorite over the
supposedly weak East Carolina
team. At the games end, the
Bulldog quarterback Wade St.
John had collected 174 yards
total rushing, but he was the
only hero for the Bulldogs
because it was all East
Carolina.
The East Carolina offense
' -H uri IOC uarHe nri
J It. K C U U y JKJJ yuiuj unu
completely dominated the
game. Tailback Bill Cline and
Buddy Bovender combined
with talented fullback Tom
Mitchell kept the Cadets busy.
The Citadel did not even score
until the 4th quarter as the
Pirates came through with a
20-6 upset.
Bill Cline added insult to
injury the following year when
he carried home a bushel
basket of records and a 20-10
victory for the Pirates.
Running and passing for 235
yards Cline broke six school
records and humiliated the
Citadel defense which was the
Southern Conferences leading
defensive team.
East Carolina went on to
win the next three of four
games but this is no indication
of what's to come. The best
answer is to wait until game
time and see for yourself.

ECU loses two in a row
By SONNY LEA
Sports bditor
Fast Carolina's Pirates were
handed their second straight
loss of the young season
Saturday night, not because
they played badly, but because
they were up against probably
the best college quarterback in
the nation.
Louisiana Tech's Terry
Bradshaw lived up to all
expectations before a crowd of
13,b00 at Fickien Stadium as
he passed his Bulldogs to a
24-6 victory over the
hometown Bucs.
The Pirates defense
pressured Bradshaw time and
time again, throwing him
behind the line of scrimmage
three times for a total of 41
yards in losses, but Bradshaw
uncorked three toichdown
passes in game.
Kept going
Still, the Pirates failed to
call it quits. They pressured
Bradshaw throughout the game
and the offense continued to
ground out yards but three lost
fumbles and two pass
interceptions haunted the
Bucs.
The Pirates led the game in
total offense 363 yards to 326
for Louisiana Tech. The Pirates
gained nearly all their yards
along the ground, 49 yards
came through the air. Billy
Wightman and Butch Colson
led the Pirates offensive attack,
gaining the majority of the 314
yards along the ground.
The Pirates led the game in
first downs 24 to 14.
Twenty-one of the East
Carolina first downs came

two coming through the air

New record
East Carolina rushed the
ball for a record 73 times
breaking the old record of 68
times set in last season's
opening game win over
Parsons.
The Bulldogs got on the
scoreboard first when
Bradshaw hit split end Robbie
Albright, a 9.6 sprinter who
was covered well by the
Pirates' defensive secondary,
on a play that covered 71 yards
with 29 seconds remaining in
the first quarter. Jorgen Gertz
kicked the extra point and the
Bulldogs led, 7-0.

Later in the same quarter,
the Pirates cashed in on their
only scoring drive. A pass

who missed last week's opening
game with East Tennessee
because of an injury, started
the drive.

The cross country team
registered their first victory of
the season Friday by defeating
Richmond 18-45.
Nine East Carolina runners
placed in the top ten finishers.
The lone Richmond runner to
break into the top ten was
Fred Guest, an all-conference
performer last year.
Ken Voss and Neil Ross led
throughout the 5.2 mile race
with Voss crossing the finish
line first.
Although the meet was won
by an overwhelming score, the
team did not show the strength
that will be needed for the
championship meets later in
the season.
October 4th will be the date
of the next meet when East
Carolina will run against
William & Mary and Virginia

'A wakeness in the works1
By WHITNEY HADDEN
About I felt the power
fabric shredding ripped, then
burst on me this babbling
fancy
Once on a punning tingle
right here in the spradling
newversity Rocky Mudd waked
up one morning and that's why
we've been having all these
problems since -
lllineee! he cried let us
build a strident power for to
loose amuck on campus; that'll
teach 'em all to put me here!
and so, just so, oh best
beloved, he went staightways
to work and building a large
monstrous power of enormous
sie as everybody was still
sleeping quiet including even
CIA which was by far the most
intelligent agency about
anywhere, but
really it was pretty and you
should have seen it, boy you
should'veseen it! Rocky made
it more taller than a ten story
dorm and red white and black
he made it with shiny scales
that weighed everything all
around it had obsidian eyes
and sharpish teeth what rippled
its jaw from ear to pointy ear
I o a alligator. Wow one would
a ;aid if he saw it.
Well the whole morning
long before clown he labored
mighty to fix it together on the
mall and then when the
morning was almost to
daybreak and the janitors got
up to pick up paper and
sweeping halls, the down
crashed up like thunder from
the honon the cross the way
and then all to sudden they
could see it and they saw it
there sitting like a twisted
exclamation markand of
course ol' Rock strapping
youth around his neck gasp
gracious
Wow they said! and
furthermore!
What is it aM about out
there What is this thing what is
out there on the grass they
cowered from behind the tall
storied walls of cold brick
buildings
mA
This? asked back Rock
grinning smuggish wide. Oh,
this is just a little giant strident
power that has got itself
somewhat put together this
morning for fun or else -
But but is it clean and
initialled, isn't it? they all
maintenanced at once.
Oh yes, but yes of course it
is initialled, what would you
think? but though a few things
minutely I am not yet certain
ofit may not be clean I mean.
You see it usually so new that I
haven't checked it out
completely; but what afterall
they did not first build their
cleanest bombs? it all takes
itself a while to get perfected.
What the hell indeed. Come
out and grab a ride and then
even you will see the campus
from a powers head!
they hesitated and then
they filed out form by form
around the pretty power.
Oh this is boss. Oh groovy
thing! they all did chorused.
One or two of them both
janitors climbed up, and then
another, others waiting all
around more timid.
The strident power laughed
for the first time and set off to
look among the ivy-coated
campus, with Rock and the
two or three of the janitors on
his swaying back and head.
Hoo ha! the other workers
yelled outride on. ride on,
brothers, you have got it! They
slapped their knees and put
their hands across their mouths
to laugh delight. Then as the
last red flip of tailed around
the corner, they all went back
to starting work
Rock and company did
soon gloriously arrive on center
campus. Ah hah! Rock
mentioned smartly. The
academic build'ngs sure look so
very different fron. way up, do
they not my friends?
Just then! In the early
yellow sun, a lonesome figure
peeked out of the door that
locks the English building.
What is this clatter and
comotion! Explain yourselves
most clearlyWhat is that going
on out there!
You could have told just
from his tone that he was
ruggled. (It was the old
professor)
It is we lonely, Rock
answered. We are astride this
strident power can't you hear?
giggled clever Rocky swiftly,
and they all giggled and
shuffled and made mortimus
noise.
I see that. Yes of course I
see that. Do you not know
who it is I am? sawed the old
professor at Rock as visually as
possible. "Of course" you are
the old professor. We all know
that shouldn't we?
Well if that is really the case
then now then that we have
that straight, I would just like
to see, Harrumph, that is (i.e.)
I would like to say your
understatements is a monstrous
thing
(Perception! Rock
commended)
And furthermore to
comment on this to wit to
quote "There is something here
I know that is happening but I
don't know what is, do I" you
see my only bone's :
Why is it that it only is
happening here when we are
not in class? My pupils will
most definite be dilated to see
this later, but they are abed
just now and just not ready as I
would have been too had I not
heard you all so crystal.
Let us consider in light of
this therefore it seems one
should if this is true our
problem would appear finally
in the second place Please go
and come back when we ready
for you. What! I say this
and with that last quip the
power shrugged and burped
and smiled - he didn't like
long speeches so it seemed, and
simmeringly through out the
day he gobbled pupils who
were not stridents enough for
him and other educaterers and
administrators of all variety
and spice of life; and Rock and
them still on his head just held
on amazed an cunning as they
bobbed.
What the hell now hold it
friend said Rock fierce
friendly. We can't have it all
quite like this strident power
should we is it right and won't
you stop - there may not be
any left
But no! it couldn't not be
stopped nor could it he and so
it turned after cleaning up the
campus for the town.
It just goes to show that
when the world is all
awakening a strident power can
be sometimes going to its head
in spite of altogether defydent
circumstance.
The end.

Jenkins' invitation
to industry praised
Again, there is controversy between eastern and
western North Carolina. .
As usual Dr. Leo Jenkins is in the middle ot it.
As usual, the Raleigh News and Observer is lashing
out at Jenkins in its editorial columns.
This time, the controversy is over a $100 million
industry that Fiber Industries, Inc. plans to build
somewhere.
Originally, they had planned to build in the western
part of the state near Duke University and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
But the two universities raised a terrible fuss, saying
the plant would destroy the ecology of the primitive
forest which they use for research.
That may be true. After all, the forest and the
proposed site for the plant are side by side in a rural
area of Orange County.
At any rate Fiber Industries, not wanting to raise a
stink decided not to build there. Naturally, quite a few
people in Orange County were upset at losing such a
large industry.
Jenkins, who seems to always be on the lookout tor
anything that might help the East, saw an opportunity
He invited Fiber Industries to locate in eastern North
Carolina. Fiber Industries is studying the possibility of
doing so.
Pollution control laws are strict these days. While it
may be possible that a large industry could injure a
delicately balanced area such as Duke and UNC's
primitive forest, it is not at all likely that the industry
will damage the ecology of any other area.
It goes without saying that eastern North Carolina
could use the economic boost.
We congratulate Jenkins, and we hope Fiber
Industi ies will consider his invitation favorably
Election aftermath
Something must be done here to rid the campus of
after-election campaign materials.
The recent elections turned the campus into
something similar to a trash pile. Banners torn down by
rain, hand bills ripped from their posts, and campaign
materials strown across the mall are atrocious.
The Fountainhead proposes an amendment to the
election rules that requires that all candidates remove
their publicity materials within 48 hours after the
election or they will lose their position. In the case of
run off elections, the candidate should be made to
remove his posters within 48 hours after the second
election.
It is ironic that the students here wili allow those
people who win responsible postions in student
government to clutter the campus in such a way. If a
person does not have the responsibility to clean up the
mess he has made during his campaign, he certainly does
not have the responsibility to fulfill his elected position.
We hope the SGA Legislature will act soon to add
this measure to its election rules.

Student forum
Dear Editor:
(Attention Ben Currence)
In your article in the Sept. 9
edition of the Fountainhead you
stated that the ROTC program
gives its members the impression
that the United States is a
"white-hat good guy savior of
-democracy After talking w.th
several members of the
Aerospace Studies Department, I
have been convinced, to my own
satisfaction, that no such
brainwashing has taken place.
On the contrary, these members
have their own personal views on
subjects such as the Vietnam
War and surprisingly to you,
perhaps, they differ from the
view you set forth in your above
mentioned statement.
As far as your idea that the
ROTC program should be
removed from the regular
academic program of the
University, so as to provide more
time for field trips and visits, the
same could be said of another
course of study offered by the
University. Furthermore, if
ROTC were to be removed from
the regular academic curriculum,
there would be a contradiction
of one of the objectives of the
University, which is stated on
page seven of the current edition
of the ECU undergraduate
catalogue. That objective is
stated as follows: "In pursuit of
this purpose (to offer a liberal
and practical education and to
promote research in order to
serve a free society) East
Carolina University pledges
itself, To create knowledge
through research in all
disciplines Military science is
most definitely a discipline of a
liberal and practical education,
as well as a part of a free society.
I, therefore, conclude that
ROTC has as much a right to be
a pait of the University's
academic curriculum as another
subject now offered.

Dear Editor:
I don't suppose bells have
caused such a controversy since
the Ludderlow Sisters, a group
of Swiss bell ringers, performed
topless at an Odd Fellows
convention in Council Bluffs,
Iowa, back in 1918.
Why should something as
innocent as chimes bothei
anyone? I asked myself that
question soon aftei learning
then purpose. My first reaction
upon seeing them was, "What in
God's name are those PA. horns
on top of the science building?"
I have since been told that they
are anothei step in the program
to make "Harvard on the Tar" a
reality. Eureka! That's what
botheied me. I! seems that when
we were faced with the challenge
of making Fifth Street College
into an academic Utopia foi the
pursuit of pure knowledge, we
merely ordered a do it? yourself
conversion kit f r o m
Sears Roebuck. The kit would
come complete with electronic
chimes, 47,000 square feet of
plastic ivy, polyethylene
facsimilies of the world's great
sculpture (They glow in the dark
and spout water from the body
opening of your choice.) and a
book of helpful hints; such as:
1) Raise your tuition to the level
of old established universities, 2)
Pump money into athletics
meanwhile they can make you
famous
Meanwhile, students are
conjecturing as to what is really
in the stacks area ot the library
(Certainly not books). Students
from other squeezed out of the
campus picture, many unique
and enthusiastic instructors are
fleeing in disbelief, and it begins
to seem a little pretentious to
install chimes right now.
University atmosphere does not
come in a spray can

Dear Editor:
As an avid fan and strong
supporter of the ECU football
team, and a concerned member
of the student body, I would
like to commend the members
of the student body who
showed enough respect and
consideration for the Pirates to
stay for the entire game
Saturday night. Rather than
leave after the third quarter, so
they could party half an hour
longer, these students stayed to
support their team even though
it was losing. As we all know,
the Pirates play for our school,
for you and for me. As I see it,
any group of guys that work
and sweats at practice five days
a week and plays its heart out
to win the game deserves the
support of every membei of
the student body The Pirates
put up a tremendous fight and
I'm sure that they want to win
lust as much as we, the student
body, want them to win.
Please, next time you get up to
leave after the thud quarter,
think about how you would
feel if the veiy people you
wen.1 playing for jusl goi up
and walked out on you Let
the Pirates know that you die
behind them win oi lose.
You mighl uy learning and
singing the Alma Matin too!

Dear Editor:
I feel the room inspections in
the men's dorms should be done
away with. We are college
freshmen at least and most of us
are eligible for the draft We
should be old enough to decide
on how clean and neat out
rooms should be. Thank you
