As the residents of the new
dormitories k now, the
elevators haven't been working
right.
"In the first year of
ooeration, it is a problem of
adjustments and working out
the kinks said James Lowery,
director of operations.
"The students often cause
the problems that arise They
overload the elevators "
Lowery said the elevators
can handle 2,500 pounds or 12
to 15 students
"Dirt m the shaft is a big
problem, too Lowery said
The controls are very
sensitive to dirt, he said The
dirt is drawn into the shaft
from the floor of the passenger
compartment.
There are also a lot of
problems in . ? ? . ? ??
control panels.
L very said these problems
come from the students
holding the door of rhe
elevator to wait for someone
Also, some students set the
controls on hold while he gets
something from his room.
"This cause; fhet

"We have our own people to
handle emergencies. Most of
the cases of elevators stuck
between floors are caused by
power failure he said.
When an elevator is
installed, the company usually
has a service man within 100
miles.
There are four different
types of elevators used at Fast
Carolina.
"The state laws state the
contract must go the the
lowest bidder Lowery said
He said that with propei use
and regular maintenance, tl
should be few problems with
the elevators.

Miss Fulghum: many amusing experiences
,?. nrnblem. particularly during with students
During her years as a dorm
counselor, Miss Carolyn
Fulghum, the new dean of
women, recalls several amusing
incidents.
She once had to ask a
distraught mother who
couldn't bear to part with her
freshman daughter to leave.
She ended up escorting the
tearful lady to her car.
Miss Fulghum came to East
Carolina in 1962 as a dorm
counselor at Cotten Hall. She
also served as dorm counselor
at Fletcher Hall while working
on her master's degree.
She recalls that on several
occasions she had to "escort"
male visitors from the upstairs

"Usually she explained,
"these young men were from

The youngest member of
the dormitory staff, she was
often mistaken for a student.
"People couldn't picture me
as a housemother she said.
Now that she is dean of
women she still has the same
problem, particularly during
freshman orientation, when
many of the parents present
were East Carolina alumni.
"It was difficult for the
parents to believe that I'm the
dean of women because of the
age factors she said.
Several male alumni

her to be single, and even
offered to get her a date.

? Hearing studied
Dr. E.C. Simpson and
Jeffery LeDoux of the Biology
Department and Dr. Hal J.
Daniels of the School of
Education recently went to the
University of Tennessee to
confer with Dr. D.M. Lipscomb
about the methods of middle
ear surgery in guinea pigs.
Daniels, who is concerned
with speech and hearing
problems, has found the
incident of stupedlal otoscloris,
one of the most common
diseases of the middle ear,
much higher in areas of low
fluoride concentration in the
drinking water.
As a result, Daniels,
Simpson and LeDoux went to
Tennessee to learn the process
of taking the stapes from the
ear of a guinea pig.
Lipscomb, who is an
authority on the ear and
hearing mechanisms,
demonstrated this operation to
them.
After returning from this
trip, they plan to set up a series
of experiments in which they
hope to be able to observe the
effect of water with a high
fluoride concentration on
guinea pigs.
? Renovation set
The Flanagan Building will
soon get some "badly needed"
modernization.
F.D. Duncan, vice president
and business manager, said the
space vacated by the physics
and biology departments will
be converted to classroom and
laboratory space for the
chemistry, science education
and industrial education
departments.
The plans also allow for
improved office space and
research laboratories.
One of the major changes
will be the renovation in the
heating system.
The old radiators will be
removed. A new heating and
air conditioning system-with
hot water converters and a
centrifugal chi I le- will be
installed.
A 5,000-pound capacity
freight elevator will be
installed.
Work will begin as soon as
the necessary papers have been
signed. The maximum time for
completion of the job is 550
days.
Most of the work will be
done at night, on weekends
and on school holidays to
allow classes to continue as
scheduled.
The project will cost about
$1,195,000.
?Chairman named
Col. John D. Duffus has
been named chairman of the
Aerospace Studies Department.

and with the extensive building
programs.
He is married and has five
children.

It will be The Citadel Veer
against one of the last single
wing major college teams in the
nation Saturday when the
Bulldogs clash with East
Carolina at Greenville, N.C.
The 730 p.m. game will
provide the first Southern
Conference competition for
both teams. East Carolina will
be looking for their first
victory after losing 7 to 0 at
East Tennessee in their opener
and 24 to 6 to Louisiana Tech
last weekend. On the other
hand, the Bulldogs, with
victories over Lehigh (41-16)
and Arkansas State (14 10), are
off to their best start since
1942 when Coach Bo Rowland
watched his Cadets win the
first four games.
This will be Citadel coach
Red Parker's fourth game
against the Pirates. His 1967
team came from behind to beat
ECU 21-19; however, that was
sandwiched between 27-17 and
23-14 losses. Overall, the
Bulldogs have managed only
two wins in seven games
against the famed Stasavich
single wing.
Twenty-seven lettermen
reported to the Pirates, giving
them depth and experience at
every position. Prior to the
season, their main concern was
offensive blocking, which
appears to work beautifully
until near the goal. The Pirates
have compiled amazing yardaqe
in their first two games, but
have trouble moving across the
yellow line.
Head coach Red Parker says
the Bulldogs came out of the
Arkansas State game in tjood
physical condition and, barring
practical injuries, all should be
ready f jr the Pirates.
The emergence of
sophomore Lee Sheppard as a
defensive back has alleviated
one of Paeker's offensive
problems by allowing junior
Billy Watson to move into a
split end position. Watson has
been forced to play both
offense and defense in the
Dogs' first two games.
The Cadets will work hard
on play execution in
preparation for ECU.
Sloppy ball handling and
poor execution stopped two
good scoring opportunities for
The Citadel last Saturday.
Citadel quarterback Tony
Passander is only 16 yards
short of The Citadel's all time
yards gained passing record.
The "Single Wing" vs. "The
Veer" promises to provide
thrills and a packed house
when the lights are turned up

Stadium.

'Class' players
invade Ficklen
&&0&?&4&&0&'0
It's getting to be a habit for
the class of the country in
college football to show up in
Ficklen Stadium.
Last week it was Terry
Bradshaw, passer deluxe and an
All-American already. This
week it's John Small, premier
lineman in the Southern
conference and generally
conceded to be the best
linebacker in the nation.
Small, by no means, fits his
name. He is 6-4 and weighs 230
and when it comes to defending
the opposition he has an
inborn instinct to be at the
right place at the right time.
Harold Bui lard, who
scouted The Citadel for East
Carolina last week, was all but
awed by Small's nose for where
the play will go.
"One time Arkansas State
was in a slot I formation and
Small was on the opposite of
the field from where the play
was going and he ran over his
own linebacker to get the
ballcarrier Bullard said.
"Before the play even started
he seemed to know where the
ball was going. He's something
else
Small, who went to prep
school at Richmond Academy
in Augusta, Ga played less
than half of last season at full
speed because of injuries.
However, he was so impressive
during the time he did play
that even before this season
began the pro scouts were
saying he would be a first
round choice and possibly go a
high as No. 1
Perhaps the strongest
recommendation for Small as a
professional comes from J.I.
Albrecht of the Denver
Broncos, who said. In this
neo modern era of (Dick)
Butkus and (Tommy) Nobis,
there now comes John Small,
barring injury. No. 1
In last weeks's game against
Arkansas State, which gave The
Citadel its second straight win,
Small has 12 individual tackles

This year's opposition
could mean passing trouble
I ECU vs The Citadel
Ficklen Stadium was
enlarged at the end of the 1967
season, maybe they should
have built an air raid shelter.
With the great passer's this
year's opposition have to offer,
one might come in handy.
This weekend the Pirates
will entertain Tony Passander
and the Citadel Bulldogs.
Passander is nothing like
Louisiana Tech's "Terrific
Berry" Bradshaw in the eyes of
the nation, but he is just as
dangerous in the eyes of the
coaching slaff here.
Last weekend, Bradshaw
used the Greenville battlefield
to complete 12 of his 22 aerial
attempts for 227 yards and
three touchdowns. This
weekend, the passes will be
fewer in number but if the
record stands, the completions
will be greater and just as
important.
On the season, The Citadel's
"Mr. Big" Passander has put
the ball in the air only 30
times, but his receivers have
grabbed 20 of those for three
touchdowns not to mention
the 237 yards they have
covered.
Passander, a senior, is not a
big quarterback but he is smart
and almost invariably comes up
with the big play. At 5-11,
185, he is not as big as
Bradshaw but he is as valuable
to the Citadel's veer of fense
and just as dangerous as far as
the Pirates are concerned.
The Bulldog quarterback set
records at the Citadel last
season as a junior and will
undoubtedly set more this
season. Last year, he
completed 79 of 185 passes for
1,083 yards, an individual
Bulldog record for most yards
passing. He also had a total
offense that read 1,159 yards,
another record.
Along with Passander, the
"Citadel Veer" offense features
senior fullback Tom Sanchez,
and sophomore tailback Bob
Duncan.
With Sanchez in the
backf ield, Passander has turned
to Gene Shields, a senior end,
as his number one receiver.
Shields has pulled in eight of
Passander's aerials for for 133
yards and one touchdown.
But by many football
experts, Passander and his
"veer" offense is not the piece
that makes the Citadel football
machine click. The major part
to that machine is John Small.
At 6 4, 230, he is what many
pro scouts are calling the
number one linebacker in the
country.
"For his size he is very
quick said coach Harold
Bullard, who scouted the
Citadel's first two victories of
the season, "he is mobile and a
very aggressive football
player
Small's counterpart at
linebacker in the Citadel
defensive lineup is Charlie
Baker, a 5-11, 180 pound
junior, who played his high
school football under Clyde
Walker at Needham Broughton
in Raleigh.
Saturday night's game
between the two Southern
Conference Schools is the first
league game for both. The
Citadel is 2-0 and East Carolina
is 0 2.
In the past, games between
the two schools has always
proved exciting. Two seasons
ago, the Pirates were rolling
along undefeated after six
games when the Citadel made
their visit to Greenville. It was
the homecoming game for the
East Carolina eleven.
Before the largest crowd to
view a football game in Ficklen
Stadium, The Citadel erased all
hopes of the Pirates gaining a
third bid to the Tangerine
Bowl in Orlando, Florida, or
even gaining a share of the
Southern Conference title.
The Bulldogs rose up and
handed the Pirates gaining a
third bid to the Tangerine
Bowl in Orlando, Florida, or
even gaining a share of the
Southern Conference title.
The Bulldogs rose up and
handed the Pirates their first
defeat of the season by a
margin of two points, 21-19.
Last season the Pirates
pulled exactly the same trick in
Charleston. It was homecoming

If time builds tradition anu
close football games create
excitement, then East Carolina
and The Citadel have a growing
thing.
Saturday's football game
should match the last two
encounters in the excitement
department and if history can
be counted on to repeat itself,
the Pirates will spring an upset.
Two years ago, East
Carolina was rolling along on a
six-game winning streak and a
favorite not only to beat The
Citadal but to go on and at
least gain a share of the
Southern Conference
championship.
But the Bulldogs had their
day and spoiled homecoming
before what might well have
been the largest crowd in
Ficklen Stadium history.
Last year, the situation was
exactly reversed. The Citadel"
had a chance to share the
conference title with a win
over East Carolina, but the
Pirates, who were having a
woeful season, rose up and
smote the Bulldog, who also
was celebrating his
homecoming
It isn't homecoming this
time, but the game carries the
same importance as the last
two encounters. The Citadel
has won its first two games of
the season and East Carolina
has lost its first two. But for
both, it will be the opening
conference game of the season
and a loss will spell the end of
any dreams of Tangerine Bowl
in December.
Not only on the face of its
current record, but preseason
predictions as well, The Citadel

Does the draft overrule
By Wayne Eads
Stall Reporter
The purpose of this article is to explain something of the alternatives to
military service available to Selective Service registrants. These include
conscientious objection, non cooperation, and emigration. While in reality I
would like to persuade those of you who are uncommitted or uncertain about
the draft to accept my views regarding the draft and conscientious objection, as
well as the other alternatives, in this article I have tried to be as objective as
possible.
First, conscientious objection. Twenty years ago this was practically a
profane word, but twenty years can change a lot. During World War II there
were very few conscientious objectors, but now there are many. What are the
reasons for this change?
The world of today is one of confusion on the international scene.
International relations have drastically changed with the development of nuclear
weapons that can destroy the world many times over. People are beginning to
re-evaluate traditional theories and values, and they are changing their lives to
accommodate the world around them. The rise in the number of CO's in the past
twenty years is one result of this change. But there seems to be some question
about the validity of the viewpoint of the CO.
Traditional freedom of conscience
From the beginning of the history of this country, the right of conscience has
been recognized as a right that cannot be taken away. Many of the first settlers
came to this country for that reason. They were looking for a place where
freedom of conscience was allowed. The Declaration of Independence declared
that man was endowed with certain inalienable tights. And the Constitution of
the United States guarantees freedom of conscience in religious matters only
one area of conscience protected by that document.
To quote Professor Harrop Freeman of Cornell University, "Every federal
militia law or draft law from the country's founding has recognized the right of
conscientious objection-sometimes giving absolute, sometimes qualified
exemption. Virtually every state constitution protects the rights of conscience
The Selective Service Act of 1940 also provided for conscientious objectors in
such a manner that they would have some alternative, if only slight, to
participation in combat as a fighting man. The problem involved then, as now,
was in the definition of conscientious objection. The latest revision of the basic
1940 law, the 1967 Selective Service Act, provides for the following:
"Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to require any
person to be subject to combatant training and service in the armed forces
of the United States who, by reason of religious training and belief, is
conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form. As used in
this subsection, the term 'religious training and belief does not include
essentially political, sociological, or philosophical views, or a merely
personal code. Any person claiming exemption from combatant training
and service because of such conscientious objections whose claim is
sustained by the local board shall, if he is inducted into the armed forces
under this title, be assigned to noncombatant service as defined by the
President, or shall, if he is found to be conscientiously opposed to
participation in such noncombatant service, in lieu of such regulations as
the President may prescribe, to perform for a period equal to the period
prescribed in .ection 4(b) such civilian work contributing to the
maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest as the local board
pursuant to Presidential regulations may deem appropriate and any swh
person who knowingly fails or neglects to obey any such order from his
local board shall be deemed, for purposes of section 12 of this title, to
have knowingly failed or neglected to perform a duty required of him
under this act
Categorizing objectors?
Just as there are many kmds of religious objection to war, there are alsomaf
other kinds of conscientious objection to war. For example, then; are those
object on the grounds that the entire draft system is corrupt, inefficient, ine
in its application, and immoral. There are other )ohtiral grounds, sociology
grounds, and purely personal grounds for objecting to the draft. But the a
does not recognize the rights of these people to object, and as a consequent
these are the people that eventually wind up in prison, in the military as
regular soldiei if then will to resist is not very strong, or in Canada or anotW
foreign country. Many of them are perosns who believe in civil disobedience,
thus go to prison in order to dramatize the problem.
Most of these persons would be good citizens, if only they were giver
chance. There is something ironic in the fact that they are punished tor be'
compassionate toward then fellow man, for refusing to kill without quesw
sim)ly because their government says someone is an enemy or because son
wears a different uniform or has slanted eyes.
Any effort to place all CO's in categories according to then beliefs oj?
other criteria will be doomed to failure from the beginning. A CO belietisYJ
very nature an individual thing. "The law seeks to set aside the religious?
from the non-religious, calling the latter "essentially political, S0CIC?9S'
philosophical" or followers of a "merely personal code But even t .
difficult undertaking, for how is one to judge what is religious or not.
Before a further discussion of the plight of the CO, let us lo0 f
procedure for getting CO status. In my previous article on the structu j
functioning of the Selective Service System, I wrote something
classifications and procedures for obtaining them, but I deliberate y
topic unfinished on the subject of CO's. When filling out the forms to r
with your local board, the form entitled SSS Form 100 will have aqu .
(Series VIII) which will ask if the registrant has any reason to believe tn? (
conscientious objector, and if so, he may begin the application for 0
asking for and filling out SSS Form 150, a special form for CO's.
Procedure for application
You can request the CO form anytime before an induction oaer
but the earlier this is done, the better for the registrant. The man wio ,
position must have a special kind of courage, for the CO status
popular in his region. But anyway, bac to establishing a CO claim. KorPJvefj

Form 150 may be requested anytime before an induction order
the form is requested within that time limit, the board jtf

probably not reopen the file. In any case, the registrant would have the rights of
appeal as stated in the first article of this series.
In addition, if a registrant asks for a form 150 and fails to fill it out and
return it within the allotted thirty days, it will be assumed that he has waived his
right to claim CO status. The board will judge the claim of the registrant on the
basis of this form and the other material in his file. This is the reason that any
contact with the local board should be in writing, or summed up in writing later
in the case of an interview, and sent to the local file. In the case of appeals,
interviews are usually not called, but may be in special cases.
The form itself includes several parts. One is a statement in two parts, one of
which the registrant must sign. One of these parts is the application for
non-combatant service as a CO, and the other is an application for alternate
civilian work as a CO (l-A-0 or I O status).
The draft law says that opposition must be based on religious training and
belief. This has been the center of controversy for many years. What is belief?
Many moidl and philosophical definitions have been expounded. The closest
thing there is to a legal definition is found in the case "U.S. v. Seeger (380 U.S.
163).
U.S. v. Seeger
In that case, the Supreme Court stated: Under the 1940 Act it was
necessary only to have a conviction based upon religious training and belief; we
believe that is all that is required here. Within that phrase would come all sincere
religious beliefs which are based upon a power or being, or upon faith, to which
all else is subordinate or upon which all else is ultimately dependent. The test
might be stated in these words: A sincere and meaningful belief which occupies
jn the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those
admittedly qualifying for the exemption comes within the statutory
definitionWhile the applicant's words may differ, the test is simple of
application. It is essentially an objective one, namely, does the claimed belief
occupy the same place in the life of thp objector as an orthodox belief in God
holds in the life of one clearly qualified for exemption?In such an intensely
personal area, of course, the claim of the registrant that his belief is an essential
bart of a religious faith must be given great weight
Non leligious objectors are not at this time eligible for CO status. Whether
this is good or bad is a different question entirely.
While there is nothing in the law or the draft regulations that would require a
CO to be a pacifist, abhoring the use of violence in any form, local boards still
fcuestion the registrant about the use of force in any of a number of hypothetical
lituations. Thus, if the CO claimant believes in the right of self-defense, he
should be prepared to carefully explain why this does not conflict with his ideas
)n the use of violence in war. Another such case is explaining why one believes
th.it there is a need for a domestic: police force when there is no need for an
3r my.
Questions asked applicants
Samples of other questions asked of registrants claiming to be CO's include:
imany of them are stupid, perhaps designed to frustrate the registrant and thus
fcause him to give conflicting answers on important questions) "What happens to
?people like you in Russia?" "Do you object to killing, or being killed?" (You
figure thai one out). "If everyone held your view wouldn't the Communists take
lover the world?"
For those who are awarded the 10 classification, work must be performed on
the civilian level if a draft notice is received. This notice will take the form of a
order to report for civilian work instead of the usual order to report for
induction. Of course, the CO must take and pass the physical just as any other
draftee before he can perform this work. Appropriate work is defined as
employment by the U.S. government, by a subdivision thereof, or by the District
of Columbia Employment must by by a nonprofit organization of a charitable
nature or one that does work in the public interest, such as a service involving
the public health, safety, and welfare. Private employment is specifically ruled
out.
Employers must be approved by the State Director of Selective Service or the
National Director of Selective Service. One approves employers inside the United
States and the other approves employers outside the United States.

and he has been assigned to that job, he will be expected to work for two years
under the same hours, pay scale, and working conditions and regulations as any
other employee of that organization. The employer may fire a CO. If this
happens the CO must get the same kind of job with another employer. The CO
has no right to quit his job before the two years are up. However, of those who
have quit for a good reason and immediately found another job of the same
kind, none have been prosecuted by the Selective Service. After civilian work is
satisfactorily completed, the CO is classified either l-W or V-A, depending on the
situation.
The l-A-0 classification provides that the CO is willing to serve in the
military, but will not serve as a combatant, (technically anyway, for the CO
medic serving in the battle zone is just as much a combatant as the soldier with a
gun.) CO's who recieve this classification are trained at San Antonio, Texas.
Their'training is practically the same as another draftee with one exception -the
CO's are not given weapons training. Instead, they are given training as mdics or
an another "noncombatant They are then assigned to a base just as any other
military man would be assigned (at least, in theory there is no military
discrimination against CO's), and after their two years of service, they are
classified just as any other person who had completed his military "obligation
The man who thinks over the various alternatives to the draft and decides
that the only correct course for him is resistance will be the man who suffers
most from the Selective Service System. There have always been a small number
of these men, but the number is now growing. Some act from a strong belief that
the draft is immoral, corrupt, and that the peacetime draft is unconstitutional.
Others act out of a belief that the Vietnam War is an evil that must be ended by
any means, some act out of a strong belief that the military should be done away
with in its present form, and that the need for militarism is obsolete.
On the other hand, there are many men who co-operate with the draft, but
when they do not get a classification that they feel they are entitled to, turn
instead to resistance.
Penalties for resistors
The penalties are severe, in fact, they are absurd in their severity. Draft
evasion or resistance, upon conviction, will bring a maximum sentence of five
years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Punishment for fleeing the country to avoid
the draft, if the "criminal" ever dares to return, will bring this penalty almost
automatically. The courts traditionally have not been sympathetic to the
conscientious objector, but hopefully this will soon change. The attitude of the
judge is the all-important factor in any trial involving the draft law.
Finally, I will discuss briefly the policy of emigration to avoid the draft-a
plan that has been very popular with the resistor. Many others chose this course
of action not to specifically resist the draft, but because they do not care to
confront it and still do not want to be drafted. Few return, but those who do
face immediate arrest on crossing back into the United States.
Emigrants look for a country that they feel will provide them with economic
security, that will not extradite them for their draft offense, that does not have a
draft of'its own, and that will give them the right to live ther permanently. The
fact that the home must be permanent must be emphasized. Very rarely can the
resistor return, even for a short visit. If he renounces his United States
citizenship, he may be able to return and he may not. It is hard to tell. If the
resistor has not broken the draft law before leaving and renouncing his
citizenship, he will have a better chance of returning than if he has broken the
law.
In conclusion, the author wishes to point out that the sketchiness of this
article is due to its natue-that of a survey. As such, it cannot deal completely
with any one phase. There is also the fact that the draft law is a very
complicated one and needs the interpretation of a lawyer before taking action
on military alternatives. Careful thought and consideration must be given to the
law.
But in the end, the decision is a purely personal one. Each of you must make
a decision. Have you?

is favored. The Bulldogs have
an outstanding passer in Tony
Passander. and a formidable
running attack. Tom Sanchez,
who caught the bomb that led
to East Carolina's downfall two
years ago, is back but as a
running back this time and he's
averaging six yards a carry. His
partner in crime is a rather
light (173 pounds) tailback
who is averaging 5.9 per carry.
Without a doub1, unless
both defensive teams come up
with super collosal efforts two
school records will fall during
the ballgame, one for The
Citadel and one for East
Carolina.
Butch Colson, who already
owns the Southern Conference
single season rushing record, is
within 53 yards of the career
rushing record for East
Carolina. With 53 yards, he will
total 2003 which is one more
than Dave Alexander amassed
while leading the Pirates to
some outstanding seasons.
Passander, The Citadels
quarterback, is even closer to a
school record. He needs only
20 yards passing to break the
school record of 1900 for a
career.
The Pirates, despite two
straight losses, have played well
enough to win in the last two
weeks. Although scoring but
six points, the offense has
rolled up more yardage than
the opposition and in general
dominated the statistics in
every phase except the vital
point teal.
Senior tailback Billy
Wightman is the leader in total
offense. He has gained 229
yards rushing for an average of
five yards a carry and has
picked up another 43 on
passes.
Colson's total is only 20
yards less. He has gained 185
yards rushing and another 69
on passing. The pass attack,

considerable
attention from the Pirates
during the week. Chances are
despite the fine rushing record
of both teams, the pass will be
the deciding factor in this one.
Pirates may see
passing trouble
(continued from paqe 7)
and the Citadel was holding a
record of three wins and one
loss in Southern Conference
warfare. The lowly Pirates,
suffering through a miserable
season, had one win and two
losses.
The Citadel had been
thinking about Christmas
vacation in Orlando before the
Pirates arrived and a near
capacity crowd was there to
see the Bulldogs continue their
jaunt toward Orlando.
The Pirates had something
else on their minds. They
remembered the season before
when the Citadel had erased
their chances so why not turn
the tables.
They did exactly that,
handing the Citadel a 23 14
licking thus erasing their
chances of a share of the
conference title or a Christmas
trip.
If the record goes as it has
in the past, the Pirates will
hand the Citadel their first loss
of the season as well as winning
their initial contest.

social security program and on
how many people are already
receiving a social security
check on the record.
Also, the amount of the
student's earnings can affect
the amount of his benefits. The
student can receive the
maximum if he earned less
than $1680 a year. If a student
earned more than that amount,
he can receive a check for any
month he earned less than
$140.
Student benefits are
terminated at age 22, when the
student marries, or if he drops
out of school.

As pop music grows, changes,
and develops, so do the people
who are the representatives of
this music.
The artists, either because of
their feelings of confinement or
for lack of creative motivation,
seek expansion - foresaking
their present groups to go on to
so called "bigger and better
things
This unending search, this
quest for excellence as well as
just plain incompatibility - has
caused the break-up of such
well known groups as Cream,
Buffalo-Springfield, the original
Byrds, the Mama's and Papa's,
and the Lovin' Spoonful.
In their stead has arisen the
super-group.
The most anticipated of these
so-called super-groups is Blind
Faith. All the members of this
group; Steve Winwood from
Traffic, Eric Clapton and Ginger
Baker from Cream, and Rick
Grech from Family, are
considered the best in their
fields.
Their first album, originally
enough, is entitled "Blind Faith"
and is available in not one, but
two record covers.
The one most widely
distributed has a front cover
photograph of the group in their
English recording studio. The
second cover, and the one fast
becoming a collector's item,
contains a picture of a
just-blossoming young lady

restrained than in the past, his
guitar solos in "Had to Cry
Today" and "Well All Right" are
pure artistry. Similarly, Rick
Grech comes through as a superb
bass player, and his electric
violin in "Sea of Joy" is proof
enough that he is capable of
playing in a group with the likes
of Clapton.
Baker, already considered one
of the greatest drummers in the
pop-field, again establishes that
claim to fame in his "Do What
You Like a song in which his
drum solo, unlike "Toad is
carefully and logically led up to
as a sort of climax to a great
song - all fifteen minutes and
twenty seconds of it.
Blind Faith is clearly a
well-conceived amalgamation of
what is good musically in the
pop-world today. Now if

Neither album cover,
however, can dull the

Calpton's and Baker's influence
has remained sufficiently intact
to delight any Cream
connoisseur. Steve Winwood's
lead singing, however, although
melodic and compelling in
"Can't Find My Way Home is
just too angelic and boys'
choirishto be effective in a good
rock group such as Blind Faith.
Thus, without a strong lead
singer to act as the center, the
album must rely on the
musicianship of its members. It
is here if anywhere, that the
album and the group, succeed.
Eric Clapton is still the best
rock-blues guitarist in the world.

You Are What You Eat'
By A. W. Olson
Eat'
Pdter Yarrow's sometime
hobby is making films with and
for his friends. A couple of
years ago he crammed all of his
friends and lots of other folks
into a feature length film called
"You Are What You Eat"
"Eat" seems a bit dated
now but the personalities and
their persuasions to come and
join the flower people are still
going strong - witness the
400,000 plus brothers and
sisters at Woodstock Bethel
this past August.
With no plot to hassle with,
the director and his camera and
the superb edit people
composed a rock musical
which attempts to survey the
entire range of people within
the "new" culture. Without
preaching or moralizing, 'Eat'
gives its audiences magical
glimpses of all the diversities
within the love generation
Frank Zappa, Timy Tim,
Th" Electric Flag, The Family
Dog, Peter Yarrow, Father
Malcolm Boyd ("Are You
Running With Me Jesus?"),
Super Spade and hundreds
more do at least a quarter of a
second's worth of "their thing"
at some point in the film.
Happiness is the message of the
film and all you have to do to
yet it is to eat flowers, make
love, smoke, dance, enjoy
sunshine and be FREE.
Two particularly well done
sequences include a beautifully
played "Western" Raga with
nude dancers in front of an
organic "bubble" light show.
The closing sequence builds up
to a wild experience in
psychedilia through the music
of Zappa's Mothers, a couple
of hundred dancing freaks and
ecstatic strobe light phasing.
The editing of this last few
minutes results in an
approximation of the 'high'

The best version of "West

This already classic film by
the Italian director Franco
Zeffirelli brings to itb viewers
amazingly believable and
beautiful performances in the
title roles as well as in the
many supporting roles.
Leonard Whiting as the
enchanted and exuberant
Romeo and Olivia Hussy as the
enchanting and radiant Juliet
maintain a wonderfully high
level of involvement through

ingenious direction.

surrounded with rules that men
students don't have. You rant
live off campus, or if you are
allowed to, there are
restrictions imposed on you
not placed on men. You musl
always remembei whal time it
is because you'll be punished it
you'tt1 mote than a few
minutes late. A simple Mai tire
tin us into a real issue if you
can't get to a phone to call

Associated with the cm few
is the fact that girls aren't

- The Vietnam Moratorium
Committee of ECU
By JAMES HORD
STAFF WRITER
Legalization of marijuana
has been the subject of much
controversy recently. Opinions
have been divided on the issue.
On one side are those who
say the drug is addictive, a
destroyer of initiative, and an
agent used by hardened
criminals who commit violent
crimes while under the
influence of this drug. They
point out that continued use
wiii resuit in "impotency and
insanity
On the other side are those
who claim that marijuana is no
more harmful than a cup of
coffee. The state of euphoria
brought about by smoking a
few "joints" is not thought to
have any adverse affects upon
the user.
This latter point of view has
been supported by much
medical and scientific evidence.
The first point of view-in
which marijuana is linked with
heroin and opium-is supported
mostly by hunch, motion, and
sly politicians.
According to Dr. Stanley F.
Yolles, director of the National
Institute of Mental Health, to
equate marijuana with hard
narcotics is "merely an effort
to defend an indefensible
established position that has no
scientific basis
He points out that legal
penalties assigned to its use are
"strict enough to ruin the life
of a first-time offender, with
total disregard for medical and
scientific evidence of the
properties of the drug or its
effects.
"I know of no clearer
instance in which the
punishment for an infraction
of the law is more harmful
than the crime he said.
But before completely
legalizing marijuana, some long
studies will have to be made on
the effects of the drug. Right
now there are no scientific
long-range studies on the
behavior of chronic users.
As in the case of tobacco, it
was not possible to establish its
relationship with lung cancer
without long-term studies over
a number of years. Who knows
what serious consequences will
become apparent through an
extensive study of marijuana?
Some of the behavior
problems of chronic users are
already cropping up, according
to Dr. Yolles. He states that
the chronic user may be using
it to escape the stresses of life,
thereby stunting his mental
growth by not "learning how
to deal with frustration and
problems.
"He tends to withdraw from
here-and-now reality, loses
ambition and drive and sustains
a loss of motivation. He is
present-orientated rather than
future-oriented. He may drop
out of school or work
Approximated' 10 per cent
of marijuana users fall into this
category, however. The vast
majority use the drug a few
times and quit, or become
social users. But still, the 10
per cent of marijuana smokers
who become chronic users, or
"potheads" represents a sizable
number of people.
Some of the effects of
marijuana on perception and
judgment may be a factor in
automobile accidents. But still
this would be minimal when
compared to the number of
accidents resulting from
drunken drivers.
When all has been said and
done regarding marijuana, the
real question boils down to one
issue: Do we really want
another "national drug?"
Alcohol has been described as
our current "national drug
Even prohibition could not
change that.
One thing is certain,
however: The present laws
dealing with marijuana will
have to change. They were
based on false assumptions
linking marijuana with violent
crimes and association with
hard narcotics. Also, the
present laws have penalties
strict enough to wreck the life
of a first-time offender, and
they show a total disregard for
medical and scientific evidence.
If respect for the law is to
be maintained, the old rule of
"let the punishment fit the
crime has to be applied.
Clearly, this has not been the
case with the present marijuana
laws.
Up against the wa
???
By BENCURRENCE
The condition of women in
America did not develop and
does not exist by itself. The
use and abuse of one of
America's most prized and
loved possessions is
interconnected with the
politics, economics, and
culture of our country, both
now and from a historical
standpoint.
The position of American
females has been primarily
manipulated by the same
power that shapes every other
aspect of our lives- the America
capitalist system. The social
and political history of the
woman has been molded by
the economic role they were
forced to play.
From the time American
women stepped off the ships at
Jamestown. Virginia, they have
been economically exploited
for profits and used to make
the system run most effectively
in the interest rf those who
profit.
It is true that our women
have risen from conditions in
which they were not allowed
to participate in any political
activity nor even allowed to
work outside the home.
During the 1800's and
particularly around World Wars
I and II, factory and clerical
jobs began to open up tor
women. But the fact still
remains that the types of
occupations held by women
today are very similar to those
historically held by women.
Today almost one-half of all
women are in the work force, a
steady increase since the end of
World War II where only
one-third of the female
population was in the work
force. They are the secretaries,
maids and the lowest paid
factory workers.
In 1955 the average salary
or wage for women working
thirty-five hours or more a
week was only sixty-four
percent of that of men. Many
of the female workers are still
unprotected by Federal
Minimum wage standard.
Women and other minority
groups are in a state of
super-exploitation. From them
more profits are extracted at a
higher rate. To clearly define
the minority's identity,
attitudes such as male (or
white) superiority or
chauvinism are perpetuated.
The myth of the "woman's
place is in the home" is a very
weak excuse for paying lower
wages and providing worse
working conditions for women
than men.
If employers really meant
what they have said, they
would not hire women at all,
but leave them at home.
Instead women are put into the
reserve labor force, used or not
at will, and given the lowest
wages.
It has been estimated that
manufacturing companies
realized profits of $5.4 billion
in 1950 by paying women less
per year than the wages paid to
men for similar work. Women
have a lower median income
than black people!
It is evident that those who
run the economy have used the
minority groups (including
women) very profitably and
have not only shaped the jobs
they hold, their wages-but
whether they work or stay
home.
By tracing the history of
economic "progress" of
women and other minority
groups, it is clear that they
have been used and abused.
Editors, presidents
support moritorium
While the majority of students are going through the
motions of electing class officers and choosing a
homecoming queen, a growing number of concerned
students are preparing for a nationwide "day of
participation" aimed at hastening the end of the
Vietnam war.
In a strategy designed to "maximize the public
pressure to end the war thousands of students will
take a day off from classes Oct. 15 to canvass their
communities in an effort to "educate" the populace to
the "realities" of the United States' current involvement
in the Vietnam conflict.
The purpose behind the students' efforts is to
interrupt the industrial community's "business as usual"
attitude toward the war. They plan to do this with
demonstrations of popular support for an immediate
end to the war. Oct. 15 has been designated as the first
in a series of days on which members of the academic
and industrial communities will declare a "moritorium"
on their current endeavors and donate a day of
"participation" toward helping bring pressure on the
Nixon Administration to end the hostilities.
So far over 300 college student body presidents and
campus newspaper editors have signed the "Call for a
Vietnam Moritorium" pledging their support for the
academic communities' efforts to organize local
opposition to the war.
The "moritorium" strategy was announced
purposefully in time for President Nixon to take some
positive, unequivocal steps toward peace. Yet, in the
three months since the movement's inception, there has
been no substantive action in either the Paris
negotiations or the conduct of the war to indicate a
serious commitment toward ending the hostilities.
The announced withdrawal of 25,000 members Oi
the American forces has been exposed as a ploy to
disguise the fact that troop shipments into Vietnam
displace the well-publicized "reduction" in troop
strength. Nor can the announced cancellations of the
Nov. and Dec. draft calls disguise the fact that,
excluding the cancellations, only 5,600 men fewer than
last year would have been drafted. As Tom Wicker
pointed out in last Sunday's New York Times, had the
draft calls gone through, 44,400 more men would have
been drafted than in the last year of the Johnson
Administration.
The Vietnam Moritorium Committee's Oct. 15
mobilization of the university community has the
twofold purpose of organizing popular support for
peace abroad and forcing negotiations for peace at
home. But, above all, the Committee's efforts in the
community are aimed at the institution of a realistic,
self-critical foreign policy and a humane domestic policy
adequate for the complex needs of the country's critical
social problems.

Dear Editor:
i would like tc ask the men
on the Hill to join in the battle
against Ward Vending
Company- Then high prices are
making a big dent in your
wallets. Fifteen cent soft
dunks are now twenty cents;
ten cent milk is now fifteen
cents and ten cent cakes are
now also fifteen cents.
Ward Vending Machine is
taking advantage of us because
they have a monopoly in the
basement of our dorms. They
open and close when they
please: then machines fail to
r etui n change when 1 he
machine is empty and they
charge as high as they can get
away with.
Let us fight them through a
boycott'
Beginning Oct. 6 (Monday)
if we unite together and buy
our soft rinnks, cakes, etc. in
quantities at othei places, then
the machine magnates will
return the prices to normal.
Where there is unity there is
strength, let us unite in this
common endeavor; we shall
never yield.
When cobwebs form on
their highpriced machines then
perhaps thoughts of justice
may enter their minds and
exploitation will no longer
reign on "The Hill
Monday, Oct. 6, we will
cease to buy from Ward
Vending Machines until they
bring their outrageous prices
within a university level or
even the same as the stores off
campus for that matter.
We may live long, we may
do much, but this is the
summit, we may never exceed
our boycott against Ward
Vending Machine and their
exploitation of the united men
on "The Hill

Dear Editor:
Concerning the legislation
pending in the Student
Legislature on in e
appropriation for the chime
system, I hope that the
legislature doesn't follow the
"administration's folly" and
throw money away when it
could be better used
Money for what seems to be
an 'instant tradition
movement" could be better
employed in book material for
the library. Besides, who want
a mechanical clock that strikes
6 o'clock? r, . .

Dear EditOl
This school has the same
attitude that any good Mid
Victorian college had toward
women, the trouble is, this is
the 20th century. Locking
women up at 11 30 p.m. is old
fashion. Modern women have
minds of their own. If a
woman wants to stay out late,
she will
I not only blame the
administration for this; I blame
the students io o. They
complain about the situation
but don't do anything about it.
Hitting your head against a
brick wall is no fun but if
everyone picked up clubs and
beat on that wall, it would
come down sooner or later. If
we organized we could get
what we want. At 21 we can
vote in any major election.
People who vote have power.
Ambitious men need our votes.
Therefore, the more votes
involved, the more power a
group has. If we get togethei
freedom. If the University will
not listen, somebody else will.

Dear Editor:
I ' m delighted to be
informed that Fibei Industries
proposed S100 million plant
will not disrupt the water
ecology of any other area than
Orange County (Fountamhead
editorial, Oct. 1). For some
time fiast I have been laboring
under the impression that
massive discharge of industrial
effluents into any stream
would have a strongly injurous
effect. Obviously, this is
wrong: the waters of Eastern
Carolina are protected by the
good fairy. The same good
fairy who has taken such care
of the lower Cape Feai river,
and the fresh water supply ol
Beaufort County once Texas
Gulf got started mining there,
and the Neuse below Kinston,
and for that matter, the
majestic Tar.
Pity poor benighted Orange
County, which doesn't seem to
know about the good fany,
and is also not convinced that
North Carolina's pollution
controls are strict enough. If
they only were, there would be
no "stink" figurative oi
otherwise. phj,(p Ac)(er
