A frican Studies begin
Excitement and expectation
surround one of East Carolina's
newest minors, the African
Studies Cognate Minor, which is
being offered for the first time
this year
East Carolina was one of 15
colleges and universities in the
United States to receive a
governmental grant to participate
in the program under the
University of California at Los
Angeles' Department of African
Studies.
Though one of the
committee's main interests has
been in the creation of the minor,
they were also responsible for the
African Cultural Festival held last
April.
Festival successful
The festival, Dr. Watrous said,
was designed to acquaint the
student body with the minor It
was "surprisingly successfulshe
said.
Highlights of last year's festival
were lectures by Dr. Western La
Barreand Dr. Ebenezer Akutteh.
Dr. La Barre of Duke
Enrollment
University spoke on 'African and
New World Rhythms" themusic
of African.
Dr. Akutteh, a diplomat from
Ghana, spoke on "Current
Political Developments in
Ghana
The symposium will broaden
its scope this spring with guest
speakers from several universities
and speakers from African
embassies and the American
Foreign Service.
African change
D r. Watrou s said the
symposium was a "splendid
opportunity to become
acquainted with the
revolutionary changes taking
place in Africa today
Student interest in the minor
and the symposium is rapidly
growing, she said.
The new minor will attempt to
focus its attention on an
interdisciplinary study of
independent Africa and its
people.
The minor was approved and
passed by East Carolina's
curriculum committee earlier this
ear, after the program was
designed by the African Studies
Committee.
Dr. Blanche Watrous is
chairman of the committee,
which is made up of faculty
members from the Arts and
Sciences Departments.
Among the required courses
for the minor are "Peoples in
Africa "African Geography
and an "African Area Seminar
E lective courses die drawn
from several departments-art,
drama and sociology.
Through the courses which are ?
now being offered and new ones
which will be offered in the
1970-71 school year the
committee hopes to stimulate
interest in Africa and its people.
Specific information on the
minor has been published as a
suppliment to the 1969 70
catalogue, and is available in the
depart mental offices.
THE ALUMNI BUILDING has been quite a center of activity

A lecture by an internationally
known authority will highlight a
one day choral of music
workshop at East Carolina on
Monday, Oct. 13.
Professor Harold A. Decker of
the University of Illinois School
of Music will address clinic
participants on "Choral Music

cooperation with the Visiting
Scholar Program, Association of
Eastern North Carolina Colleges.
It will be conducted jointly by
the ECU School of Music and
Division of Continuing
Education.
According to Brayom
Anderson, the division's assistant
director, the clinic "will provide
an opportunity for public school
and college vocal music teachers
and church music directors to
study the current ideas and
techniques for working with

The Baha'i religion is organized
very informally to encourage
independent investigation of
truth, Miss Thomas said. One of
the chief goals as a Baha'i is to
promote world peace by
elimination of all prejudices from
society, she told theqroup.
The Baha's believe in one God,
but their religion differs from
others in that they believe God is
manifested through prophets
such as Moses, Jesus Christ,
Kirshna, Buddha and Baha'u'llah,
who is the latest prophet.
It is a progressive type of
religon that changeswith modern
technology according to man's
spiritual needs, Miss Thomas said.
The appeal of the Baha'i Faith
is universal so that all men
regardless of race, color or creed
can be united, she said.
Baha'is feel that work done in
the spirit of service is a form of
worship, so many Baha'is find
rewarding careers there, she said.
If there are nine or more
Baha'is living in a community,
they are allowed to form a local
Spiritual Assembly that takes
care of the administrative duties
within the community.
Conventions are held in the state
and nation to choose
representatives who will e
represented in the Universal
House of Justice.
One day out of each Baha'i
month, which consists of
nineteen days, is set aside for
spiritual feasts. At the end of
their nineteen month year,
four days are spent in doing good
deeds and gift giving.
Members from other parts of
the country are expected to visit
East Carolina this year. Miss
Thomas said, to add to the
discussion groups which are held
every Monday night in the
Student Union.

Friedman attacks
ridicule of UFOs
Tne possibility that the Earth
is being visited by intelligently
controlled vehicles from outer
space was discussed at length last
Wednesday by Stanton T.
Friedman, a nuclear physicist.
The main thrust of Friedman's
argument concerned his attitude
toward the study of unidentified
flying objects by scientists and by
the government agency "stuck"
with the obligation of investi-
gating them-the United States
Air Force.
Most non-believing scientists,
Friedman said, are ignorant not
only of the facts about UFOs but
also of the technology that might
help them understand the
vehicles' motion or the possibility
of interstellar travel.
The Air Force concluded more
than ten years ago, he said, that
UFOs present no threat to the
national security. Since that time,
he said, the Air Force has as-
sumed that because 80 per cent of
the sightings can be identified as
conventional objects, all of them
can be.
Friedman said this is a decep-
tion.
He poi nted out some
difficulties in defining a UFO.
? Those reports that can be
identified by competent obser-
vers,
?Those reports that cannot
be identified because of insuf-
ficient data and
?Those reports by compe-
tent observers which neither they
nor competent investigators can
identify.
He called the third group "The
Unknowns
It is the Unknowns that cannot
be dismissed and whien provide
"overwhelming evidence" of ex-
traterrestial visits to Earth,
Friedman said.
The lack of investigation, he
said, is largely because of miscon-
ceptions, reliance on irrelevant
questions, and ridicule.
Less than one per cent of the
sightings that have occurred have
been investigated or reported, he
said.
Published information con-
taining solid data about investiga-
tions have not been available to
the public because of private pub-
lication or prohibitive cost, he
said.
One publication he mentioned
was an Air Force Publication
entitled Project Blue Book
Special Report, No. 14, which
was released in 1955. The book

not be the responsibility of
YAF to sue on any campus but
that the responsibility should lie

to the Vietnam War, the draft,
and the nation's militarism. To
counteract the drop, there has
been an increase in the number

some revisions in the curriculum
have been made. The Army has
decreased its concentration on
artillery studies, and the Navy
has dropped its knot-tying

Battle action drops to year's lowest
By GEORGE ESPER
Associated Press Writer
SIAGON (AP)-U.S.
paratroopers fought North
Vietnamese forces along
the demilitarized zone and closer
to Siagon while the United States
lost three more aircraft in the
war, military spokesmen said
today.
Two observation helicopters of
the 82nd Airborn Division were
shot down early Sunday in a
firefight 20 miles north of Siagon.
Paratroopers on the ground lost
one man and killed 10 wounded
in the engagement, reports from
the field said.
The 82 Airborn has only its 3rd
Brigade in Vietnam. That,
together with one regiment of the
3rd Marine Division, are the
major combat units being
redeployed under President
Nixon's second round of troop
withdrawals.
A U.S. Air Force Phantom
fighter bomber crashed Thursday
95 miles northeast of Siagon,
killing one crewman. The U.S.
Command said the plane was
believed shot down by enemy
ground fire.
Two Americans were reported
killed and 20 wounded in 20
enemy rocket and mortar attacks
during the past 24 hours, the U.S.
Command said.
The DMZ action involved
paratroopers of the 101st
Airborn Division, moved up io
replace departing Marines,
spokesmen said.
The spokesmen said a
company of 100 to 150
paratroopers was patroling a mile
south of the DMZ late Thursday
when it ran into fewer than 50
North Vietnamese troops in
bunkers.
A two-hour exchange of
small arms and machine-gun fire
killed two paratroopers and
wounded four. Enemy casualties
were not known.
Another company of
paratroopers a mile away came
under a 25-round mortar barrage
from North Vietnamese but
suffered no casualties, U.S.
headquarters said.
Paratroopers of the 101st
Airborn Division have been
redeployed along the DMZ to
help fill the gap left by the 3rd
Regiment, 3rd Marine division,
which began redeployment to
Okinawa last Monday under
President Nixon's second round
of American Troop withdrawals.
The 3rd Brigade of the 101st
Airborn is patroling around the
craggy outpost known as the
Rockpile, operating farther north
than ever in the war. It was moved
from the A Shau Valley, 60 miles
Shaped in Subtle Proportions.

Official sources said that while
the defense of the northern
frontier will fall primarily to the
20,000 man South Vietnamese
1st' Infantry Division, the 101st
Airborne will conduct
reconnaissance patrols along the
DMZ as well as the Laotian
border.
The clash along the DMZ was
one of several sporadic action
across the country, but again no
major sustained fighting was
reported by the allied commands.
A spokesman for the U.S.
Command said Thursday battle
action had dropped to its lowest
level of the year.
Students rate
news stories
HARTFORD, Conn.
(AP) College students feel many
newspaper stories are inaccurate
and unfair, a survey shows, but
rate newspapers better in this
respect than news magazines,
television and radio.
The survey, conducted by a
committee of the Associated
Press Managing Editors
Association, was presented at the
organization's convention
Thursday.
The view of high school pupils
were included in some areas of
the survey, and both groups said
they spent more time with
newspapers than with other news
media.
34 arrested
in Beaufort
BEAUFORT, N.C.
(AP) Thirty-four Negroes were
arrested Thursday night after a
demonstration in support of
strikers at the Atlantic Veneer
Co. in Beaufort.
The demonstrators were
charged under state statutes
enacted this year which govern
gatherings and disorderly
conduct. They were released on
bond.
Groups of Negroes gathered
around the county courthouse
about 10 p.m. Law officers
warned the demonstrators to
disperse, and when they refused,
Sheriff Ralph Thomas and his
deputies arrested them.
Psychiatrist

R I DG ECR EST, N.C
(AP) Something really happens

Dr. Robert Coles, who

The psychiatrist said mountain

Dr. Coles said our society has
done things that have made him
suspicious, submissive,
withdrawn and hostile to
outsiders.
"We put labels like apathetic,
superstitious and vindictive on

Veterans disillusioned
over war in Vietnam
WASHINGTON (AP)-An
Army officer headed for a
second tour as a battalion
commander in Vietnam asked
bitterly, "Why should I send
men out to be killed?"
This veteran soldier spoke of
disallusionment, of
pointlessness to a war he sees as
going nowhere.
"If we were trying to win, it
would be different he said.

morale has overtaken money as
he No. 1 problem in retaining
ounger officers.
The erosion of morale seems
o be a compound of factors-a
ar that is essentially a holding
ction, repeated separations
from families and resulting
tnarital turbulence, the surge of
fcntimilitary sentiment in
Congress and the country.
The depths of this erosion
cannot be measured, but it may
be significant that officer
resignations have been rising.
Air Force resignations were
up nearly 50 per cent in fiscal
1969 over fiscal 1968. In the
Army, officer resignations
jumped about 14 per cent. The
climb was smaller in the Marine
Corps and Navy figures stayed
level, but the Navy is worrying
about losing aviators and
submariners.
"Many of my contemporaries
with 15 and 16 years of service

The services cannot afford a
serious drain of younger officers
particularly those who have
gained experience and seasoning
in the field and on staffs.
The problem is growing, too,
so far as attracting junior
officers is concerned, with a
general forecast that the
antimilitary climate will affect
ROTC noticeably this year.
He recalled how, on a recent
tour of ROTC units, one cadet

The survey released by the

Add all that traffic to that of

The force is responsible for
all buildings being locked al

"It's a task to keep the
buildings locked with people
coming and going at all hours of
the night said Harrell.
If trouble arises, the force is
ready. The foot patrol,
motorcycles and the car are
equipped with two-way radios
that are in contract with the
city police radios. The
campus patrol cai can be called
by phoning the city police,
assuring quick action when

"We are prepared for trouble

To assure that the force is
keeping up with modern
methods, Harrell and his
assistant, Raymond Webb,
att .nded two special seminars

All but two of the officers
hae had experience as former
law officers with city and
county law departments.
"The force is here to work

Harrell said.
The hours are long and
uncomfortable, with the shift

Even when the day ends, the

Greenville, they are
empowered to make arrest any
time ihe law is viuialed, said
Harrell.
The force has two Hondas,
one car and several two-way

A major cause of the unsettled situation between Israel
and the Arabs is the continuing destruction of old Arab
homes along the wailing wall. Shown at riqht are

blocks were set in the wall during the youth of Jesus.
The Wailing Wall
The old city of Jerusalem would fit into this campus.
But in that small space are some of the most sacre
and disputed sites in the world. The wailing wall shown
at left was a main objective of the Israeli-Arab War o
1967. It represents the last standing remains of
ancient Jewish temple built by Solomon.
Jews have come to this spot for 2,000 years since
the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70. This has been
the scene of many terrorist attacks by Arab Commandos.

On top of the wailing wall is a flat grassy plot
where one of the most sacred Moslem mosques is located.
The dome, which is covered with plates of gold and can
be seen for miles, is believed by Moslems to cover the

was built during the middle ages and is richy decorated

When the Israelis took the west bank area of the

for the recovery of Jerusalem, and the Arabs on the top
of the wall praying for the victory of Islam.

Al
Affairs Director completejucce
By GAIL RICH
William Penn Eyerman, the
director of Alumni Affairs who
is resigning Nov. 1, says his
goal is to accomplish what
everyone else labels impossible.
People who know him
comment on his energy, inertia
and stark determination.
Eyerman, his wife, the
former Judith Carolyn
Lawrence of Winterville, and
then son will be moving to
Durham, where Eyerman has
accepted a position as assistant
to the director of admisssions
at Duke University. He also
olans to enter a doctoral
program at Duke.
Eyerman took over the
Office of Alumni Affairs in
Sept 1966, replacing Miss
Janice Hartison who is now
chairman of the freshman
English division of the English
Department.
Before that, Eyerman
traveled with his family while
his father completed official
tours of duty with the Army.
Eyerman stayed in North
Carolina long enough to
graduate from Fayetteville
High School in 1960.
Eyerman's father, Dr.
Melvin F. Eyerman, moved
enabled Eyerman to continue
his undergraduate studies at
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and to
later transfer to East Carolina.
Phi Kappa Tau
After graduating in 19b4,
Eyerman went to work as field
secretary, a full-time staff
member for Phi Kappa Tau
fraternity, whose national
headquarters is located at Ohio
State University.
After serving, two years
there, he was hired by East
Carolina and named Director
of Alumni Affairs.
New director
His first official action was
io form a committee to review
"where had (they) been, where
were (they) now, and where
were (they) going in alumni
programming?"
The findings of the
committee resulted in the
beginning of a publications
schedule-that is, creating a
network of publications which
would disseminate

information to the alumni,
about the alumni and about
the university
The brochures then in
existence consisted of four
printings in a span of over sixty
years.
With the founding of the
East Carolina Report, a
magazine designed to report to
the alumni the news of the
campus, Eyerman got down to
work.
Alumni magazine
News, however, is not the
sole concern of The Report
editors. Everything from
philosophy, poetry, short
stories, to feature articles are
included in it, if it concerns
and interests the ECU
graduates.
Because of its literary
orientation, the ECU Report
has been accused of being a
"small Rebel Instead of being
insulted, Eyerman is pleased.
"The awards which named The
Rebel number one in the
country last year make it a
magazine well worth modeling
after
Expensive report
More than $16,000 was
spent on publications last year
by the Alumni Affairs Office.
The Report is so expensive to
print that Eyerman is
determined to make it a
quality magazine. Now
publishe semi-annually, it will
eventually be distributed
quarterly.
To keep the ECU Report
from being flooded with lists

Impact was designed to publish
the news and the "impact" of
ECU alumni in today's society.
Included in Impact are
notices of deaths, marriages,
jobs available and jobs
accepted.
To be able to afford the
costs of publishing The Report
and Impact and the notices of
Homecoming and Alumni Day,
a series of fund campaigns was
developed. The Office of
Alumni Affairs is aimed at
being self-supporting, so it was
necessary to solicit financial
support.
Unfortunately, state money
allocated to the University
could not be used for
money-making purposes. This

meant that even the paper and
ink used in the request letters
would have to be financed by
some other source.
Alumni Loyalty Campaign
Eyerman believes strongly
in the "out of sight,
out-of-mind" principle.
He was sure that if he went
directly to the ECU graduates
and explained the needs of the

help. The Alumni Loyalty
Campaign was begun in
January, 1967. Its purpose was
to remind the Alumni that
unless they contributed
financially as well as physically
and emotionally to then own
department, nothing could be
accomplished.
Good response
At this time, b 1,100 was
available for use. The bill for
the printing came to $2800,
causing deficit. By promising
to pay later when the Loyalty
Campaign responded, Eyerman
was able to contact the
graduates and plead his cause.
The ultimate result of the
Campaign was a jump from
only S800 in 1966 to $14,000
by December of 1967. So far.

The goal of the Alumni
Loyalty Fund is to get at least
4,000 contributors (out of a

The problem, according to
Mr. Eyerman, is the fact that
too many people discount the
importance of small
contributions. They think that
unless it is an earth-shattering
sum, it will not be appreciated.
Therefore, they give nothing at

At present, income is just
barely clearing expenses, but
all profits are channeled into
academic programs such as
scholarships, and grants. As the
alumni participation improves,
more and more money will be
available for these purposes.
Bucking tradition
Class reunions and Alumni
Day are also part of Eyerman's
work. He has noticed the
inadequacy of the Alumni Day
system and is bucking tradition
to have it changed. The
problem as it now stands is
that all the reunions are all
held on the same day each
year, always in the spring. This
pits the golden anniversary
group against the five-year
fraternity men. Such a
collection is difficult to
entertain because of the wide
expanse of interests.
Eyerman proposes dividing,
having the 5th, 10th, 15th, and
20th reunions in the Fall to
coincide with homecoming and
the Silver through Golden
anniversaries in the Spring as
usual.
The younger set would be
far more interested in the
homecoming festivities and the
senior half could concentrate
on the campus changes. This
project will fall to the new
director.
Another innovation is the
transition to IBM data
processing.
The internal management of
the Alumni Affairs Office is of
equal importince to the
external. The AAO staff is
converting all the alumni
records to a computer in
co-operation with the staff of
the data processing
department.
Data processing system
Last March Eyerman
attended a four-day conference
in New York City to learn
about the alumni departments
across the country which were
converting to data processing.
With Robert Bolonde,
Eyerman developed the system
to be used.
We maintain records on
approximately 24,000 alumni.
Our current mailing iist is
about 20,000. That leaves
about 4,000 that are lost said
Eyerman.
The AAO serves as a
clearing-house and a crossroads
for the alumni. It provides
services available to them no
where else on campus.
Lost class ring
For example, an ECU
graduate returning from
Vietnam notified the office
that he had lost his class ring
and would like to get another
one.
The AAO contacted the ring
company, collected the forms
and has taken care of the
problem.
The AAO "should be and
could be a vibrant part of the
campusWe are trying to sell
this school. Everyone here at
EC is a Public Relations agent
for the University. The more
we can do to tell our stcv, the
better off we are said
Eyerman.
'We need their support'
In summing up his work,
Eyerman said, "Personally and
professionally, I get involved in
a whole host of
activitiesThere's enough
going on to keep this job
exciting-and it's becoming
more exciting as more and
more student are graduated.
(Because) we need them. Not
just their money, but their
support. It's unfortunate that
people don't (realize) how
much we do need them

Finian lend-leases a
of gold
By JAMES SLAUGHTER
Since its two-year Broadway
run in 1947-48, the sun has never
set on "Finian's Rainbow
It is a perennial in colleges,
camps, summer theatres, civic
auditoriums and repertory
theatres throughout the country.
And it's coming to Greenville
Oct. 22 25, as the first
production of the 1969-70 season
at the East Carolina Playhouse.
Unlike most shows revived
from an earlier decade, "Finian's
Rainbow" has kept its youthful
figure. The story gristles with
topical subjects which are
possibly even more timely today
than when they were written.
Part of the reason is Finian
himself a hearty, jovial Irishman
who has the ingenuity to say that
he has lend leased" a

the truth. To Finian drinking is
no habit. It's a gift.
One of Finian's comic fantasies
is his notion that the thing to do
with the gold he has "liberated"
from the leprechauns is to bring it
to America and bury it in the
ground that's all. His logic
appears solid when he points out
that this is what the Americans,
the richest people in the world,
do with their gold. They bury it at
Fort Knox. If he buries his gold
similarly, will it not enrich him?
Oddly enough, it does and
also all the farmers of the area
where he's buries it. For the
rumor grows that there's gold on
their land, and that's enough for
everyone to offer them
unbounded credit for every kind
of dreamed of purchase. The
sharpness of the satire in this
situation arises from the fact that

Rock rocks Fayetteville
By RHONDA NICOLL
Staff Reporter
FAYETTEVILLElt takes a
lot of nerve to bring rock to
Fayetteville mumbled the
master of ceremonies under his
breath. But the music began and
even skeptics were captivated by
almost four hours of solid rock.
Attracted by the appearance of
Iron Butterfly, one of the
dominant groups of the rock
movement, music fans filled the
Cumberland County Arena here
Sunday.
A need to hear good hard rock
brought many rock fans to the
concert. Pure curiosity drew
some otherwise "soul music" fans
to the show.
Long hair, moustaches, beards,
granny glasses, beads, and bare
feet were common sights. Crew
cuts, army jackets, ban-Ion shirts
and teased hair also showed up in
the crowd.
Fayetteville seemed to be
gaining a pop festival atmosphere
as people sat arround on blankets,
cars and sand, rapping and
listening to the heavy beat of
stereo tapes from nearby cars.
Local groups
Local rock groups started off
the concert. The first, "Leroy
Plus Two began with hard rock,
then added their versions of songs
by Dylan, Donovan, and the
Beatles.
"Orange" set an informal
mood with a short session of
jamming. Good original music
and a sensitive girl singer gave this
group individuality and appeal.
"Plant and See" proved to that
Fayetteville rock has a strong
foundation. An air of
professionalism and solid musical
ability made this the most
outstanding of the local groups.
Their girl vocalist presented a
strong imitation of Janis Joplin.
Even the Beatles could not knock
their version of "It's Your
Birthday
A newly released song called
"Henrietta" and other origional
songs showed that this group has
the ability to succeed just by
doing their own music.
The introductory rock groups
merely warmed up the crowd
with anticipation for the major
guests. Flashing lights and
pounding music introduced the
st rs. Excitement and tension
f led the auditorium from the
beginning of "Are You Happy?"
The Butterfly turned the crowd
on with "Soul Experience "The
Time of our Lives and other
cuts from their first album and
from their latest album, "Ball
Trademark
Iron Butterfly's trademark
song, "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida"
streched into thirty minutes. In a
ten minute drum solo, the
bare-chested, bearded, wild
drummer kept the crowd
pulsating with his beat. His total
involvement in his music drove
the crowd to jumping on chairs,
clapping, and whistling. To give a
highly motivated performance,
the group on stage must be
involved with the audience. Iron
Butterfly presented a
near-perfect show in musical
ability, lighting, sound effects,
and communication.
Professionalism and smoothness
controlled their performance.
An intangible group response
seemed to be lacking in the
Fayetteville concert. The
majority of the crowd probably
was not deeply involved in hard
rock music. Respect and awe
were present. Surface enthusiasm
was displayed. But deeper,
uninhibited, instant emotions
were missing. The audience as a
whole lacked the total
involvement that makes music
performers and spectators groove
together on music.
Rock revolution
Iron Butterfly, as usual,
presented a great show, complete
with a haze of smoke during their
song. But to present personalized,
magnetic, super-show, a certain
communication must exist
between the people on and off
stage. This quality was missing
from the Fayetteville show, and
only this quality kept it from
becomming an emotional
experience.
With a little more time, and a
lot more rock music, the South
will soon be involved in the new
rock revolution.
Non-whites banned
from rural phones
EAST LONDON, South Africa
(AP) The Posts and Telegraphs
department of segregationist
South Africa has banned
non-whites from using rural party
lines.
Confirming this, Assistant
Director of Telephones J. F. van
Rooyen said non-whites left in
charge by absent farmers are
liable to use the farmhouse
telephone. Party line subscribers
in the past often complained their
conversations were disrupted by
abusive langusge. He said no
action would be taken if
non-whites used farm telephones
in an emergency or in the normal
course of the day's duties.

Are campus reforms
actually effective?
By SHARON SCHAUDIES
Staff Reporter
Many college campuses have
responded to last year's troubles
with "new reforms
Some of the more notable
changes have come to campuses
where the trouble was worst last
spring.
Many schools have added
black studies courses. Harvard is
phasing out its ROTC program.
Several other colleges are
rewriting their ROTC
curriculum.
A Department of Defense
committee on ROTC is studying
possible reforms and will be
reporting later this month to the
department on their
suggestions.
Their major suggestions will
likely be in giving the individual
school more say in the
curriculum and restrictions for
those in the ROTC program.
Salary increases
Teachers throughout the
nation are receiving salary
increases. Every major college
has established a
student-faculty administration
committee that will consider
complaints arc! suggestions
from the students and faculty.
As far-reaching as these
reforms may sound, their
probable effectiveness is
doubtful. They may change the
areas of protest but there still
will be protests. The Wall Street
Journal expressed it this way:
"Student militancy remains.
Militants still protest the
Vietnam war and charge that
militarism and racism permeate
U.S. society. The university
remains a peculiarly vulnerable
institution-dedicated to free
expression but easily crippled by
an excess of it
SDS
The Students for a
Democratic Society are
relatively ineffective because of
the bitter schism at this
summer's convention. Mike
Ansara, an SDS leader from
Harvard dismissed a large
faction by saying: "I haven't
talked to those people in
months Boston reported
f istf ights between SDS factions.
The number of
demonstrations by the SDS will
probably decline in number,
while the number of individual
confrontations may soar.
A spokesman for Los
Angeles City College predicts
that "large riot conditions "will
occur less often this year" but
that there will be "more
individual harassment, coercion
and intimidation, and possibly
guerriiiaactivity
Guerrilla activity
The Wall Street Journal

Citadehbetter than ever
A case of first half doldrums
against the best Citadel team ever
to play East Carolina saw the
Pirates suffer a 31 13 shellacking
last Saturday night.
It was, according to Coach
Clarence Stasavich, the best
Citadel team he has seen. He
called their "veer" offense the
best he has ever seen.
Although the score showed a
final margin of 18 points, it
actually wasn't indicative of how
close the game was until the
closing minutes. In fact, the
Pirates had clawed back from a
10-0 halftime deficit and had trie
ball trailing by only six when a
fumble at mid-field stalled what
might have been the go-ahead
touchdown drive.
Two things were obvious in the
final analysis. The offensive line
blocking was not as sharp as it was
in the first two games and the
defensive unit turned in its
poorest performance of the
season.
Even so, it took a
record-setting performance by
The Citadel's Tony Passander to
turn the tide. Passander threw
two touchdown passes to claim
his school's career record with a
total of 17 scoring throws. He
pushed his career total in passing
yardage and total offense to a
new school record as he
completed 17 of 26 for 235
yards.
Butch Colson, who played
another outstanding game for the
Pirates, failed to reach the career
record for rushing he was
expected to attain, but he did put
himself and Dwight Flanagan in
the record books with the longest
non-scoring pass in the school's
history.
Colson went into the game 53
yards shy of the career record for
rushing held by Dave Alexander
and picked up only 32 yards in 16
carries The Citadel defense was
geared to stop Colson and that
thnv Hr in thp mnninn end but
he completed two-for-two passes
for 76 yards and one of then went
for 57 yards to Dwight Flanagan.
This broke the record for
non-scoring pass completions
held by Bill Bailey and Bob
Withrow on a 54-yard connection
against Davidson in 1966.
D espi te a remark ably
ineffective offensive effort in the
first half-East Carolina gained
but 40 yards running and
throwing-The Citadel had to
fight for its very life in the third
and fourth quarter before
Passander, Billy Watson and Tom
Sanchez combined to break the
game open. Watson caught a total
of 11 passes for 199 yaids, one of
them for a 56 yard touchdown
with less than a minute left in the
game.
?K
The Bucs came out at the start
of the second half with fire in
their eyes and immediately
scored after Mike McGuirk
recove-ed a fumble. This made it
10 7 and then when The Citadel
bounced back to score for 17 7
lead. East Carolina went on an
80 yard scoring drive to pull back
within six points
But once again, luck was not
with the Pirates and a fumble
stopped them at mid field as it
appeared they were heading for
the lead touchdown. ? ?- , -w . h

East Carolina's Baby Bucs
dropped a 17-7 decision to N.C.
State Saturday in their opening
football game of the season.
The score was 3-0 at the half
in favor of State, but the Pirates
trailed only 10 7 with 25

5-10, 180-pound tailback from
Colorado Springs, Colo was
the second leading rusher with
47 yards. Hamilton a track star
in high school, got off a 30 yard
run, the longest of the day for

Back plays well
as passing
Butch Colson, who made his
reputation as a running back
suddenly has turned into the
passing ace of East Carolina's
Pirates.
Colson, completed a record
non-scoring pass to Dwight
Flanagan Saturday night against
The Citadel on his way to two
completions for 75 yards and a
total for the season of 138 yards
passing with seven completions
in 12 attempts.
Colson has moved into the
lead in totai offense with 355
yards in three games, 17 more
than Billy Wightman, who
remains the rushing leader with
282 yards. Colson has picked up
217 yards rushing and needs 23
ace
yards to set the school career
rushing record of 2002 yards
held by Dave Alexander.
Sophomore wingback
William Mitcheil is leading the
team in pass receiving with
seven for 78 yards. Flanagan,
who went 57 yards with a
Colson pass Saturday night is in
second place in yardage with 64
on two receptions. Richard
Corrada, Wightman and Fred
Harris all have three receptions.
Colson, who began the season
needing 12 touchdowns for the
school record, picked up his
first score of the year against
The Citadel. Wightman is the
team's leading scorer with two
touchdowns and 12 points.
Gridders preparing
for Richmond game
East Carolina's football team
has a week of rest coming up,
but there will be no let up in the
kind of opposition when they
return to action.
The next contest will be
against defending Southern
Conference champion
R ichmond in the Spiders' lair on
Nov. 18.
"They have an outstanding
football team and certainly
deserve their pre-season role as
the favorite in the conference
said assistant Coach Henry
Vansant who scouted the
Spiders last weekend.
"They have no less than seven
all-conference players returning
from last year's championship
team and have outstanding
players at just about every
position
Richmond opened the season
vith a 17-13 loss to Mississippi
State of the tough Southeastern
Conference, but has come back
to score a 20-0 win over Virginia
Military and then pulled a 17-10
upset against highly-regarded
independent Virginia Tech.
"They didn't allow VPI a first

Vansant said. "That give syou

quarterback Cahrley Richards
and three outstanding
receivers
Richards is a 6-3, 195

usually is All-America candidate
Walter Gillette, a track man
who stands 6-5 and weighs 200.
Flanker Jime Livesay, however,
was the No. I Richards choice
against VPI. He stands 6-4,
weighs 193 and like Gillette is a
track man with exceptional
speed. Herman Perry, 6-1 and
187, is the tight end and the
third receiver.
The defense is led by
All-Conference ends Buzz
Montsinger and Mel Medvid,
all-conference linebacker Pat
Turchetta, All-Conference
corner back Winston Whitehead
and all-conference middle guard
Dick Irvin.
Besides Gillette, the other
all-conference returnee is

Does it really work?
,264 by-pass
If you've ever resorted to NoDoz at 4 a.m.
the night before an exam, you've probably
been disappointed.
NoDoz, after all, is no substitute for
sleeo. Neither is anything else we can
think of.
What NoDoz is is a very strong stim-
ulant. In fact, NoDoz has the strongest
stimulantyoucan buy withouta prescrip-
tion.
Caffeine.
What's so strong about that?
If we may cite The Pharmacological
Basis of Therapeutics: Caffeine is a
powerful central nervous stimulant. Caf-
feine excites all portions of the central
nervous system. Caffeine stimulates all
portions of the cortex, but its main action
is on the psychic and sensory functions.
It produces a more rapid and clearer flow
of thought and allays drowsiness and
fatigue. After taking caffeine, one is ca-
pable of more sustained intellectual ef-
fort and a more perfect association of
ideas. There is also a keener apprecia-
tion of sensory stimuli.
Very interesting. But why take
NoDoz when you can get caffeine in a
cup of coffee?
Very simple. You take NoDoz all at
once instead of sipping coffee for 10 min-
utes. And if you take two NoDoz tablets,
the recommended dosage, you get twice
the caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Two tablets?isn't that likeiy to be
habit forming? Definitely not. NoDoz is
completely non-habit forming.
Which means it's safe to take
whether you're cramming at night. Or
about to walk into an 8 o'clock class. Or
driving somewhere (even though you're
rested) and the monotony of the road
makes you drowsy.
One last thing you should know
about NoDoz. It now comes in two forms.
Those familiar white pills you take with
water. And a chewable tablet called
NoDoz Action Aids It tastes like a choc-
olate mint, but it does everything regular
NoDoz does.
And if you've managed
to stay awake this
long, you know
that's quite a lot.

Invitation bothers conservationists
By ROBERT McDOWELL
North Carolinaconservationists
have been repeatedly distressed
by the cavalier attitude that the
state's political leaders have taken
toward the protection of natural
resources from the harmful side
effects of industrial expansion.
Pol nt ion from industrial
wastes has become a serious
problem in many of the state's
major rivers including the Tar
River area near Greenville.
A recent statement by East
Carolina President Leo W.
Jenkins revived the controversy
surrounding a decision of Fiber
Industries Inc a textile firm, to
locate a new multi-million dollar
synthetics factory somewhere in
the southeastern United States.
Jenkins invited Fiber
Industries to locate their new
plant in eastern North Carolina.
Certainly such a facility would be
beneficial to the income of the
region, providing needed jobs and
an impetus for other industries in
the area.
On the other hand, the dangers
of polution, specifically from the
effluent (liquid waste) from the
textile process discharged intcan
adjoining stream, would be
harmful to some degree. The
degree of biological harm that the
waste woijldcat. ? to surrounding
plant and animal life is a crucial
factor that must be carefully
considered before a textile plant
moves in
Because textile industries are
notorious for the amount of
pollutant that result results from
their manufacturing processes,
careful safeguards against stream
contamination must be
guaranteed before the industry is
granted permission to locate.
The battle over Fiber
Industries proposed location in
Orange County (near Chapel Hill,
adjacent to the Duke Forest)
centered around the safeguards
that Fiber Industries would -? or
would not guarantee for the
protection of the community.
The threat of water pollution
was of great concern to the
scientists of Duke University and
the University fo North Carolina
at Chapel Hill because of an
ecological experiment in the area
immediately downstream from
the proposed site.
The addition of the chemical
effluent to the stream would have
destroyed the experiment. The
effluent has been proven to kill
micro organisms in streams. Such
waste is certain to disturb the
ecological balance of the
surrounding area
All these factors were
considered by members of the
Chapel Hill community while
they deliberated Fiber Industries'
request for the rezoning of the
proposed site for industrial use.
Finally, Fiber Industries
withdrew its rezoning request
stating that it would now
consider other sites in the
Southeast.
Jenkins' letter inviting the
industry to locate in the eastern
part of the state came after this
decision.
As the Raleigh News and
Observer pointed out in an
editorial on Sept. 6, Jenkins'
statement (in a telephone
interview) regarding the dangers
of water pollution that could
result from such a plant is
disturbing.
Jenkins reportedly said of
Fiber Industries: "A company of
that caliberwould certaimy be
aware of the need to avoid
dangers to the natural
environment
Dr. W. E. Haisley of the
department of physics at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill called Jenkins'
invitation for immediate
wealth and possibly gradual
disaster, as the biological balance
of the area is slowly destroyed by
pollution.
Some apologists have
suggested that rivers, such as the
Tar River, which are already
polluted could not be worsened
by the addition of another source
of pollution. This is poor logic
indeed when faced with the
consequences of wholesale
destruction of plant and animal
life by the poisons of chemical
wastes.
The decision to invite Fiber
Industries into this area might not
be an invitation to immediate
disaster, but it seems indicative of
a broader attitude held by
many toward the conservation of
natural resources.
Many fail iu realize thai
monetary profits are of little use
in a desert, or that the destructive
process that begins by destroying
m icro organisms gradually
continues up the evolutionary
ladder until it begins destroying
macro organisms- including man.
Planning, no matter how
adept, that does not allow for the
maintenance of natural balance is
intrinsically suicidal, as the
politicians will eventually learn.
siciicmciii iiwiisctibc.
According to Haisley, studies
have shown that Fiber Industries
has not always been a model
company when it come to
pollution control.
While pollution has been
effectively controlled at Fiber
Industries' model plant in Shelby,
there is evidence of pollution at
its plants in Salisbury and
Greenville, S. C, Haisley said.
According to Haisley, textiles are
sometimes erratic when it comes
to effective pollution controls
and there is no assurance that the
new plant will favor the plant in
Shelby.
This was the opinion of a
significant number of scientists
who examined the possibilities of
pollution tor the New Hope
Creek area of Orange County.
They discovered that agreement
could not be reached on
long range guarantees for the
safety of the surrounding area.
Jenkins' invitation is thus an

Antiwar drive
swells in U.S
By JAMES HORD
Editorial Writer
President Nixon's call for a
60 day moratorium on
opposition to the Vietnam War
to "convince Hanoi that the
people of the United States are
not divided on a common goal
of peace with justice for both
sides is both an exercise in
futititv and an attofnt torioiQw
positive action toward ending
the war.
The essential purpose of
Nixon's request is to convince
Hanoi that we are united in our
attempt to find "peace with
justice but Hanoi and the
Vietcong know quite well that
Americans will not tolerate a
lengthy continuation of the
war. To think that Hanoi will
negotiate favorably under these
condition? is quite naive. All
they have o do is wait.
Anyv , whatever its merits,
the proposed moratorium did
little to stop the criticism and
pressures on Nixon. The antiwar
drive continues to swell in the
United States.
Just last week Senators J.W.
Fulbright, Eugene McCarthy
and others broke their long-held
silence on the war. Some
samples of their comments
were:
Fulbright: "We're not
bugging out. We're liquidating a
tragic mistake
Charles Goodell: "The
assumption under which the
military is now operating will
probabiy keep us fighting for
years
Eugene McCarthy: "It's

In other words, the President
has not made good his campign
promise of putting forth his
plan for ending the war.
Nine months of the Nixon
administration is too short a
time to shift the responsibility
completely away from the
Democratic administration
which got us into Vietnam. But,
patience is wearing thin and
positive action must be
forthcoming or soon the war
will become known as "Nixon's
war
Since we are not going to win
the war, the only sensible policy
is to avoid further losses and get
out.
Next Wednesday (Oct. 15) an
effort will be made throughout
the country in this direction. On
this day, there will be speeches,
marches, rallies, prayer vigils,
teach-ins, poetry-teadings, radio
plugs, and ads.
It is rather obvious that the
President's call for the 60-day
silence on criticism of the
Vietnam war is largely going

case. Next week doorbells

meetings held to make clear to

expression of public opinion on
the Vietnam war cannot be

Vending machine
boycott justified
It seems that the "menSn the Hill" have found an ,ssue
th Po'erfu'pall of the boy's dorms call for a boycott of
Wa'o Vending Company's machines The ?ng
disaffection with the company stemmed from the price
increases put into effect over the summer break.
The ?omDanv will probably claim that the tax put on
soh drinkTy theTast session of the General Assembly has
larpre hlL. Drinks in cups -?-?-?
cartons sold and the price increase on certain pastry
Pr Mosfof the residents feel that these are unjustified as
no new taxes were imposed on these Pr?du;ts- h
Another complaint that is often heard concerns the
quality of service offered by the company Wad
supposedly hires representatives to handle
complaints (mostly money lost in machines) and to
Students feeTthat these people are high-handed in their
jobs and that they project a feeling of "so go to the devil
when they are asked for help.
Students also feel that these "moneychangers pick the
hour, they will work so as to avoid being on duty when
most ol their clients will be there. It has been pointed out
that in the summer, residents of Scott Hall had to threaten
to wreck the machinery in order to get it repaired and to
get the "moneychangers" on duty at a reasonable hour.
-?? he Fountainhead wish the "men on the Hill
in their efforts. Ward will probably claim that they
cannot make a profit at lower prices, but they certainly
will not make a profit if no one buys from them.
SGA should buy
more trash cans
Most of the "post campaign litter" has been cleared
from the mall and classroom buildings. The campus looks
a bit better but every student here should be ashamed to
say he is a part of the student body that is responsible for
the litter on this campus.
The Student Government Association could lend a
hand here by buying a dozen or so large attractive waste
baskets to be placed at the entrances of every classroom
building. Presently there are no such containers in either
New Austin or the Science building.
Other building have waste cans but they are almost as
unattractive as the litter they hold. Those few green army-
surplus horrors that we do have should be replaced with
nice, inexpensive, new cans.
The mens dormitory area is another eyesore. Large
stationary trash cans on tne side of College Hill Drive
could remedy this problem.
Of course, it does not matter how many trash cans the
school has if no one is going to use them. We appeal to the
SGA to buy the cans,and to the student body to use them.
Our campus -ioes not have to be ugly.

Dear Editor:
For those students thinking or
contributing to the Rebel.
Hurray! But before you do,
please consider the poor editor.
Type your work and double space
everything except poetry. Do
that for any publication to which
you submit your work. My
handwriting is great and so is
yours, but nobody seems to be
able to read mine, so think about

Dear Editor:
Do you know that I get a
strained neck every time I go into
the cafeteria here on campus
That's right, let me explain.
I enter the chow line like
everyone else. I then proceed and
pick up my tray, knife, fork,
spoon and napkin. I then go on to
where the meats are located.
There is where I encounter my
first obsticle. There are no prices
listed in front of the meats. For
all I know, one chicken leg could
be selling for a dollar and I would
never know about it until I
reached the checkout point.
So, what I do is this. I ask the
nice lady how much a piece of
chicken costs and she doesn't
know. She points to the price list
over the door behind the salads.
I then proceed to strain my necl.
in order to read the price list over
in the middle of the cafeteria.
The point I am trying to get
across here is that all food should
have a price list next to it not ail
the way across the room. You
should not have to ask, or look
around for the prices in a cuiiege
cafeteria.
If something is not done about
this, I will notify higher
authorities immediately. I also
will mention the high cost of
food. . n

Dear Editor:
For those students who are
lonely and "down in the dumps"
I have a word of advice.
Look around campus for a big,
shagg dog. He's easily
recognizable because he has only
three legs. Even so, he is one of
the happiest creatures I have ever
seen He truly seems to be happy
just to be alive.
Watching him run and play
cheers me up and I'm sure he can
do just as much for others.

Dear Editor:
I n response to Mr.
Rountree's letter in the
Student Forum, I can see no
practical correlation between
room inspection and draft
eligibility. At any rate, if I am
not mistaken, there is somethin
similar to room inspection in
the service. Aren't most of our
servicemen at least at a draft
eligible age?

Dear Editor:
We enjoyed the amusing
comments of James Hord,
Allen Jones, and Cliff Guess
regarding our letter to the
editor. Now it is time to
ground our generalizations so
1 that our charges will not be
unsubstantiated.
The following is a quote
from an F.B.I, testimony to a
House of Representatives
Subcommittee on Jan. 29,
1964.
Controversial or
potentially controversial racial
ssues are deliberately and
V seized upon by
Consists for the fullest
possible exploitation Rac
incidents are magn.f.ed and
dramatized by Common,ste n
an effort to generate racial
tensions. As a result, such
campaigns are actually ut, zed
as a stepping stone to extend
Communist influence among
the Negroes
This follows Marx s law ot
opposites in aligning racial
differences with class
Mnuu look at the
rjinertrnce.T. !VlJ
article entitled "I Am A
Slave in the Fountainhead
Sept. 16 issue. Does this not
capitalize on antagonisms, not
to mention white liberals' guilt
complexes, of already riled
Negroes?
Next is the common
communist tactic of getting the
public to oppose the police and
other forms of governmental
authority. An anarchistic frame
of mind develops which is vital
to create chaos needed for
totalitarian takeover. Now look
at the front page title in the
Sept. 16 issue: "A & T
University newspaper editor
condemns National Guard
during riots.
But then you argue that this
is a news story and therefore
objective. To you we say,
"Bull By the very fact that
an editor accepts or rejects
these "objective" stories, he is
rt-iri-i;7inn and suhiprt to
the influence of his biases.
We must admit that the
Fountainhead's news articles
show less Marxist bias than the
editorials, which are always
borrowing quotes from
revolutionaries such as Heuy,
Newton and Eldridge Cleaver,
but this hardly excludes the
presence of this bias. It won't
hurt us to be exposed to the
other side of the argument
every now and then.
We realize that since we are
not liberals, we cannot be
"intellectuals but the facts
are clear and so is the record if
you will just look at it.

Dear Editor:
Are intellectuals really copping
out? Have they disengaged
themselves from reality, and fled
to hide in the obscurity of tenure
and the methodology of their
particular discipline? Hasthevast
majority of the professors and
instructors at ECU copped out on
their own convictions?
C. Wright Mills, shortly before
his death, lamented the
"intellectual default" in
contemporary American society.
He aptiy surmised that the world
is not looking to the intellectual,
and the intellectual is not looking
to the world. We have, as it were,
a mutual withdrawal. The
American intellectual is
retreating from political
involvement, and losing his nerve.
There must be faculty
members, on this campus, who
have not copped out, those who
are strong in their convictions,
and are unafraid to express their
feelings about a given situation.
There is a vitally important
situation before us at this time.
The National V le'nam
Moratorium Committee is
organizing a mass demonstration
of conviction to end the war in
Vietnam. On Oct. 15, 1969,
students and faculty members on
all university and college
campuses have been requested to
cancel classes, or simply not
attend on that day as an
organized protest of continued
aggression in Vietnam.
The reaction on the part of
college administrations has been
as expected. Mass suspension,and
faculty dismissals have been
threatened. At Eton College, in
response to the President of the
Student Body requesting the
observance of this moratorium,
the school president threatened
mass dismissal.
Understandably , Davidson
College has taken much more
appropriate action. It seems that
there was no evidence of
intellectual default. The faculty
voted to suspend classes on Oct.
15. With faculty support such a
movement at ECU is a distinct
probability. On Oct.
hopefully, there won't be very
many people in class,
students need faculty support.
In our present-day world, H
isn't enough to be scholarly; one
must also be concerned and angry
enough to shout. Is it not enough
to understand the world? One
must also seek to change it. Do we
really care? Take Oct. 15 to show
you care. Give peace a chance.

Dear Editor:
I would like to say that I also
agree with Bob McDowell's
article in the Sept. 25 issue of
Fountainhead. During freshman
orientation, I was quite impressed
by the facts and figures
concerning the SGA.
It is a very fine organization
with some very capable people as
leaders. However, i had some
misgivings about the SGA as I
watched posters, handbills and
other garbage being strewn about
the campus
The whole scene amounted to
little more than a flying wedge of
brain and eye pollution. I, too,
decided not to vote. My decision
was made mainly because I knew
nothing more of a candidate than
what tie he wore for his picture,
how sexy she can look, or their
campaign manager's uninspired
cliches.
I am disappointed and
definitely disillusioned. After all & University. ?.???$
