Citizens of Pitt County will vote on the tax issue Nov. 4. fcvolving from the 1969 General Assembly's action to grant home rule to the counties, the referendum calls f0i levying a penny tax on sales subject to the present three per sales tax. The tax involves items such the sale of consumer goods, iceipts from hotel and moms, laundries and dry lers. If approved, the tax will ne effective March 1, I970. Officials estimate it will bring in revenues exceeding $1 million for Pitt County. Greenville's portion would be $244,000. The only portion the state collects is one fifth of a cent According to City Manager Harry Hagerty the additional tax is designed to bring relief to property owners who now shoulder the major tax burden, since taxes are presently the only means of city government revenue. This tax broadens the base of taxation, Hagerty said. All consumers, including ECU students, will share the responsibility of the community finances. In the University's case, students use facilities at least nine months a year; yet, because they are not property owners they contribute nothing toward the maintenance of the city, Hagerty said. Hagerty said that if the tax is not passed, it will simply result in higher property taxes. This, in turn, will raise rents, he said. To compensate, store owners will raise merchandise prices. In any event, it will eventually affect the consumer, he said. Latin American program sponsors social symposium COL.

A candlelight parade also is planned through downtown Greensboro at 630 p.m. Jeffress said Davidson College has called off classes for the day and Wake Forest University and Belmont Abbey College have called them off for an hour while moratorium programs are held at noon. Some institutions apparently plan to charge students vith absences if they cut classes to attend moratorium programs. But others, like Duke, have no class attendance requirements. Administrators of units of the consolidated university of North Carolina and Duke have notified their faculty members to meet their scheduled classes as usual. Jeffress said faculty members are being urged to either reschedule classes, spend class time discussing the Vietnam war, or have their classes participate in seminar programs on the war. The Young Americans for Freedom, an organization which opposes the antiwar demonstration, said it will sue any state institution which does not require faculty mbers to meet their classes as usual. Dub Gulley, who is heading up the moratorium program at Duke, said students at the Duke Law School, which President Nixon attended, sent the President a telegram expressing "disappointment and disgust" at the way the war is being handled. Moratorium programs for some of the state's colleges and universities include: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Plans call for a convocation in the late afternoon at which speakers will include Dr. J. Carlyle Sitterson, the school's chancellor, Dr Howard Levy, who was courtmartialed for refusing to train medics for service in Veitnam, and Jack Newfield, assistant editor of the Village Voice in New York. Duke University The program will include all-day seminars, teach-ins and films about the war. At noon there will be a peace service in the university chapel in which Chancellor Barnes Woodhall Tuesday, October 14, 19C.J, Fountainhead, Page 5 will participate. Dr. Levy will speak in the afternoon in the medical school auditorium. Newfield will speak at a 6 p.m. rally in Page Auditorium. North Carolina State University-Dr. John T. Caldwell, the school's chancellor, will speak to a gathering on the university plaza at 7 p.m on the eve of the m oratorium On Wednesday the program calls for a number 0f symposiums that will include speakers with opposing points of view Wake Forest University The program calls for holding a "convocation for neace" at noon. David W. Hadley, history instructor and opponent of the war, will be the speaker for the convocation. Dr. Edwin G. Wilson, provost of the university, will read anti-war poems by Wilfred Owen, English writer who was killed in World War 1. Shaw University-Several faculty members will speak at a noon program. Belmont Abbey and Sacred Heart College Every hour during the morning hours there will be an activity in the auditorium, either a speaker or a film.

The hour and a half interval symbolizes how often an American soldier is killed in Vietnam. Speakers will include faculty members and former servicemen. At noon the Young Americans for Freedom will be given an opportunity to present a speaker. Queens College-The program will include an anti-war concert with jazz and folk singers and a memorial service at noon.

And pictures: faces, paintings, beauty, horror. . . Mike Flinn had promised not to say much at his program last Wednesday night, and he stuck to his promise. He let his recordings and his slides speak for him. The communication was one of thought, idea, and belief through "sensual osmosis The mood was felt, not spoken. The eye and ear coordinated an awakening that completely bypassed the necessity for words. It brought out just about every emotional response possible. There was an amazing correlation between the slides shown and the music. Each complimented the other, producing a sight and sound phenomena that were inseparable. They demanded total involvement of the viewer. Everyone had a different interpretation of what he felt "This is the way it should be Flinn said. "It is all so ambiguous. Like the 20th Century itself, the art and music must be completely new and unique Artistic attempt Flinn said his program was "an attempt to show one has to experience 20th Century art, not just view it, but hear and feel it. Everything from city architecture to the Vietnam War raises questions instead of giving answers. As a result, this art and music is abstract, disjointed and clashing. The Union Coffee Shop was packed with little standing room left for the show. Flinn emphasized that this was not to be a classroom situation, but an audiovisual experience. "Art and music is an expression of what we are. They have meaning when integrated Flinn, who has been interested in electronic music since he was a college senior in Oregon, spent about 10 hours putting the picutres and the music for the program together. Slides were shown in r3pid succession as four selections of electronic music were played. The first selection was "lonizat.on" by Edger Varese. The instruments in this record were conventional mainly drums and sirens used in dramatic and unusual ways. Synthetic music Electronic synthesizers were the only instruments in the next two selections. They were "Piece for Electric Synthesizer" by Milton Babbitt and "Electronic Study Number One" by David-Owski. During the last few minutes of this selection, there was a black-out in which the viewer had a chance to project the images in his own mind rather FLINN ARRANGES slides for his art card and MIKE show. than view more slides. By this time, tension and emotion had risen so high in the room that Flinn asked for a brief interlude to "clear the music air. The second half of the program was perhaps more compelling than the first. Through the skillful manipulation of slides, Flinn attempted to tell four stories, beginning with childhood memorial.

The background music for the stories was "Cycle in Bells for Tape Recorders and Orchestra" by Otto Lueminq and Vladimir Ussachevski. The end of the program brought widespread applause, and much confusion. One boy said, "I don't know what to say. I can not comprehend what I just saw Another said he was "breathless through it all Whatever the reaction, everyone present was given a rich hour of the best in pop music and art. Flinn said his purpose was not to entertain, but to make one experience art and music and the way the two relate to our emotions. I!

Tuesday, October 14, 1969, Fountainhead, Page II t ?fflp?"wv The draft: change is on the way By BILL CONNELLY Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON way or another, the Selective Service System is going to be huled next year. If Congress doesn't enact legislation by Jan. I P dKlent Nixon has promised to make massive administrative Irhanaes in the draft. At this point, it looks as if the job will be left to the President. , use of its slow pace this year. Congress has a large backlog of k and is unlikely to get around to draft refrom before adiournmen-tr- Without authority from Congress, the President cannot institute the new lottery selection system that he prefers. But he does have enough administrative powers to create something very similar. The President plans to begin a system that will make young men vulnerable to the draft for only one year (at age 19) rather than for the present seven and one half years (from 18 to 26). It would work something like this: In each month, the Selective Service boards would meet the draft quota by choosing at random from the young men in the prime age group who were closest to their 20th birthdays. If a young man got through his 19th year without being inducted, he would be home free. He could then plan his life and career without having to worry again about being interrupted for military service. College men still could get student deferments. But after graduation, each would have to take his turn in the eligibility pool with the 19 year-olds for one year. This system is not President Nixon's first choice. He would prefer a genuine lottery system, in which a random drawing of birth dates before each new year would determine which 19 to 20 year-old men would be draft bait that year. This would remove even more of the uncertainty for draft-age men. But the President cannot install his preferred system until he gets authority from Congress, which in 1967 specifically prohibited the executive branch from creating a draft lottery by administrative action. Whatever happens, the young man of eligible age today has an increasingly good chance of being passed over by his draft board. This is not to say he can relax and forget it, but the facts are: 1 Fewer people are going to be drafted. President Nixon reduced by 50,000 the number of men to be called up in the last quarter of 1969. (This is not so impressive when one considers that the total number of draftees for the year-290,400-will be only 6,000 less than in 1968. Still, the trend is down for the first time in recent years. 2 If the administration carries out its plan to steadily turn more of the war effort over to the South Vietnamese ("Vietnamization"), the draft calls will continue to get smaller. Monthly quotas of about 15,000 almost half the present rate-are being predicted for next spring. 3 Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird has ordered manpower reductions of 50,000 for the Air Force and 20,300 for the Marine Corps, and there may be further personnel cutbacks. 4. Stronger efforts will be made to attract volunteers. President Nixon's critics contend that these changes in the draft are tactical moves to pacify college students. They say the President merely wants to quiet student dissent for a few months without making really substantial changes in Vietnam policy. But whaterver the President's motives, most draft-age men are likely to be pleased with his proposals for reducing both the vulnerability period and the number of men inducted. Moreover, the administration already has made some key reforms. The president has ordered that drafted graduate students be allowed to finish their academic year before induction. Up to now, they have only been allowed to wait until the end of the semester. Also, the administration has formed Youth Advisory Committees in each state to suggest changes in the operation of the draft. And the Pentagon has begun a study aimed at developing uniform policies for the nation's 4,000 local boards. In discussing the draft, it is hazardous in the extreme to make predictions. As history indicates the system can be and often is changed quickly to meet new military needs or to satisfy congressional whims. But right now it seems that forces are converging to make the draft fairer and less disruptive for the nations's youth. And beyond this, there is the Nixon campaign pledge-recently repeated-to see an all volunteer army when the Vietnam war ends. Forum policy! :?:? ?- ? v. ;?:? Students and employees of the ;?

Up against the wall I is i He f3usT-oR , maj- you s the: Bus.r-??"s By BENCURRENCE "For once, black people are going to use the words they want to use-not just the words whites want to hear. An they will do this no matter how often the press tries to stop the use of the slogan by equating it with racism or separatism -Stokely Carmichael SNCC The civil rights era is dead and in it's place camethe angry cry of "Black Power This slogan can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it. But, as there are many interpreters, there are as many interpretations. From these interpretations arises at least four different forumlations of black power to be considered. First comes black power as black capitalism. Leaders both black and white, including our president, have called for more black ownership, black jobs and black businesses stemming from capital provided through loans. Electural politics have been used as a means to get power. Black political parties have organized to place black men in office who will remain responsible to their people. However, there are those who hold that a black face in office is not necessarily a form of black power. Thirdly, black power is seen as black control of black communities. This implies a black effort to take control of their own communities from the white soverning structure and business interests. As they usually are of not relevant use in the black community. Floyd McKissick, national director of CORE holds that "ownership of businesses in the ghetto must be transferred to black people either individually or collectively radicals and other potentially revolutionary segments of the white population since, according to its analysis, genuine self-determination for blacks cannot be achieved in the framework of the present capitalist imperialism and racism which characterize the U.S. Links with the revolutionary third world are also stressed since the black struggle will supposedly be anticolonialist like other national liberation movements, and directed against a common enemy: U.S. imperialism Thus, we have four major interpretations of the slogan "Black Power They connote self preservation, black pride and a desire for the realization of those concepts upon which this country was founded. To say that these interpretations are Marxist, communistic, or plain un-American is to show a bias somewhere on the other side of the spectrum. However, black control of the black community must not result in black elite control to support the power of the white establishment over the black ghetto. Programs to better individual black businessmen are exactly for that. They are not offered to the black community as a whole and thus are rejected by them. As R.L. Allen of The Guardian says: "Black power is black liberation within the context of a U.S. revolution. This wing of the black power movement, represented by the Black Panthers, many members of SNCC and various local groups, views black people as a dispersed internal colony of the U.S exploited both materially and culturally. It advocates an anticolonial struggle for self-determination which must go hand-in-hand with a general revolution throughout the U.S. It urges alliances with white Nixon requests anti- protest Moratorium President Nixon has requested a 60 day silence from the American public. From the moment of his nomination in the summer of 1968, he has thrived upon American "silence The dissidents, the young and the black, left him well alone throughout the campaign and they have ever since. Why? Because no one expect Richard Nixon to strengthen the channels for a c cess to government responsiveness. His appeal, more than any other leading politician in this country, is geared for the "forgotten American" a simplistic code word for the apathetic middle-class citizen. According to a Nixon "image builder" the purpose of the 1968 campaign was to construct an Astrodome -where the wind would never blow and the ball would never bounce erratically It worked in November, but it will not work now. Nixon hinted that he had some sort of secret solution for Vietnam. He has been forgiven for that ploy. The New YorkCalifornia Republican has come a long way since his early days of Red baiting, evidenced as late as the 1960 campaign. But that is a poor reason for expecting him to be successful in peace negotiations this time. Richard Nixon has been living in a vacuum for nine months. Perhaps the Oct. 15 moratorium wil! help to penetrate that insidious barrier. N ixon can be a good President. But he needs our help. Badly. I Protest is stirring appeal for peace Reprinted from Tfte New York Times. The Oct 15 Vietnam moratorium, inspired and organized by students with the support of faculty members, has turned from a localized protes of the campus into a broad-based and st.rring national appeal for peace. , . The development gives the lie to those who claim that only disruption and violence are effective in the wloxto ra4nrm that thp nnlv thinq that can eirort to achieve reTonn mu ? ? - ke itself heard in this democracy is force. THe persuasive dignity of the youthful planners of the moratorium, who have been stressing rational pleas f , reappraisal of the nation's role abroad and its s at home, has the additional benefit of taking the peace issue away from those who abuse it for their - ulterior motives. It is at last re-establishing between ampus a-d public that essential bond of trust and lerstanding which the lawlessness of a few radical jentshad threatened to break. These gains have been unnecessarily marred by misguided actions on the part of some university facu :es who, in their fervor to support a noble cause, have tried to make their institutions the monolithic and therbv coercive spokesmen for what ought to remain a matter for individual expression of conscience. Thus the Harvard faculty took a fundamentally authoritarian step when, b a scant majority of one, it defeated a motion tc et its members oppose the war an individuals instead of, collectively, as the apparent voice of the university. Columbia's president, Andrew Cordier, tried to extricate the university senate from a similar misuse of institutional power by pointing out that its vote against ,var had not bee- 'tended to be binding on any individual. n the end, the best-intentioned desire of faculty to enlist the universitv in an act of political ? esmansh p differs tt e ; principle from the effort of soi e repressive jniversit goverr ng bodies to jhibit ndividua participation in the protest. The spec 3 er of the academic community, and therefore ts peculiar responsibility, is to persuade by reasoned argument without imposition of any stand. r s:t: a Dpportur r the student-led moratorium s tc shovs the power of "ree expression of the individual consc ence. foyrruinhead Paul F.

That problem is the tremendous rise in prices that the present vending supplier presses on the ECU student. Not that it really matters to the vending company, but the average student on campus does have a limited ammount of money to spend at school. Most of rhat money goes into the food category. The student will, on the average, spend approximately S3 a day on food which of course comes to about S2I a week on meals. It seems as though the student has been conditioned to spend tremendous amounts of money for his food. This conditioning has followed the student into the basements of the dorms as he gingerly pays an unbelievable 20 cents for a soft drink. This is a rise of 5 cents a can that probably costs the manufacturer 3 cents a can to product. How can a half pint of milk cost 15 cents a carton? That is the same stable price of last year but one could get one third quart for the same price last year. We, the students, do realize that the prices on consumer products are spiraling all ovei the country. That is obvious. But the present vending company which supplies the student with such a large surplus of "drinks and candy" must exercise restraint at least for the sake of the student. We call on the Mens Residence Council, the men students and the women students of ECU to boycott the present vending company which supplies the campus with food.
