Portraits behind schedule
Jim K i Ibrum, the
photographer for the annual,
says that portrait taking is
lagging behind previous years
be about 2,000 people.
Smith Studioes of Raleigh
does 23 colleges, and we have
the lowest percentage of
people coming in for
portraits
Ki Ibrum says he cannot
Pinpoint any reason for the
nonparticipation unless it is
apathy on the part of the
student body.
The only complaint heard
by the staff is that everyone
has to dress alike.
Kilbrum said ECU could not
send the annual to be judged
for All-Amenean competition
if thei'3 were no uniformity in
the poi traits.
He Said that this portion of
the annual is the only part
where formality is important.
Students do not have to buy
their photos.

Fire burns out
An air conditioning unit in
Joyner Library shorted out and
caused a small fire and a lot of
smoke Sunday afternoon.
The library was immediately
evacuated when the smoke
filled the reference and
circulation rooms.
The Greenville City Fi e
Department was called in to
extinguish the blaze, but by the
time the truck arrived the fire
had burned itself out.
There was no estimate of
damage Sunday, but it is
expected to be small, said F. D.
Duncan, vice-president in
charge of business.

The Brannons have two sons.
The oldest, Keith, is four and a

them to the station to spend the
day with her. Usually the
children are kept by thi

Chorus,
ovie shows hangups, perversion! orchestra
By A. W.OLSON
"Last Summer" is a good
attempt by Hollywood at
revealing the violence, the
hang ups, and the latent
"perversion" in our affluent
society's youth.
Being a Hollywood film
however, it contains a few flaws
and has a thread of boredom to
hold itself together. 'Summer'
tries to be both relevant and hip
for all America, but in trying to
reach everybody it loses its
impact by overdoing the
characters and thereby
pacifying only "General
Public
You see, up until the final
scene in "Last Summer" the
audience seemed strangely
uneasy and perhaps was
wondering if they could manage
a three way (two boysone girl)
relationship. Their Ids were as
yet unchecked by the super-ego.
But then, in order to spell out
the doom, to convince the
audience that such 'perverted'
relationships are inherently evil,
Hollywood has the trio rape a
girl, a lonely pathetic outsider
who wants only to be accepted
by the trio.
This extra scene, the
contrived imperative, puts the
trio over the brink. No longer
are they just like you and me

'The Kindred Spirit' presents unique sound
By ROBERT McDOVVELL
"It's not folk music said
Tom Tollerson, leader and first
guitarist of The Kindred
Spirit. And it wasn't.
During their week-long
engagement at the University
Union Coffeehouse, The
Kindred Spirit performed a
variety of folk-rock, jazz, and
blues styles which displayed the
best of current musical trends.
The Kindred Spirit combines
the voices and instrumental
talents of Deborah McColl
(guitar and piano), Phil
Rolleston (12-string guitar) a
Tom Tollerson (classical guitar)
in a musical blend that is both
distinctive and unique on the
Their sound is a fresh
plementai y
st es . hich benefits from folk
and blues background while
avoiding cliches in arrangement
and performing techniques.
They perform a varied
repertoire of populai standards
and original compositions. They
choose then songs from a wide
range of material, including
songs written by Billie Holiday
and Paul Simon.

Rolleston. "We don't feel th

an emotional response and the

hen this emotion is shared
between the performer and the
audience, then we can feel that
our music has been socially
effective he said.
Packed houses
In describing the social
function of music, Tom pointed
out that "there has been a trend
in serious folk music-for
example, the work of Judy
Collins and Joni Mitchell to
make a total art out of the
ting and non of a song.
It's, in r disciplined
than a lot rock, It's also
the main thing that puts it out
of the ' v of folk music.
It's in the realm of an art

On stage, the

blend and harmonies, maki,
new arrangements f0r fo,k
standards like "Suzanne" bv
Leonard Cohen and "Both Side

Throughout the week-with
the exception of Moratorium
day The Kindred Spirit played
to packed houses at night and
small groups of students on the
mall in the afternoon. Many
students attended every
performance. The Kindred
Spirit achieved a feeling 0f
community and rapport with
their East Carolina audience
that manifested itself in their
performance and will not soon
be forgotten where people "Get
Together" to hear and perform

Children rescue butterfly
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP)
Somewhere in sunny California,
a monarch butterfly is winging
along - refugee from the
Maryland cold, thanks to a
second-grade class and an
ine.
Last week, Jane Chapman
brought a chrysalis to show to
her second grade class at George
Cromwell Elementary School.
When the butterfly emerged the
next day, Mrs. Chapman's
reading hour was completely
disrupted.
The pupils decided that the
October chill of Maryland
would be too much for the
late-winging monarch, so they
called on United Airlines, The
airline agreed to take it to
California.
A small delegation of the
second-graders took the
butterfly, in a decorated shoe
box, to Friendship
International Airport and
turned it over to a stewardess.
When the flight reached San
Fransisco, it was raining, so the
stewardess sent the monarch by
another flight to Monterey.

The Mushroom 'straightens up'
By BOB ROBINSON
The Mushroom is in
surprisingly good condition to
have just had a fire-the smells
are still good; the shop is still the
pleasing jumble of pots,
paintings, and prints it always
was; and Mrs. "T" has the same
charm and ready smile mingled
with just a touch of regret.
Mrs. Tabor said that she
didn't mind the slight loss of
business so much as some of the
personal things that she had on
her desk.
"Lots of people had brought
trie many small gifts,
mushrooms and dolls, and they
hurried first she said.
Fire continued
The fire was confined to the
back corner where Mrs. Tabor
keeps her desk. A lampshade
caught fire from a hot bulb,
then a box of fire place matches
burned. This was enough to set
off the sprinkler system, which

Mrs. T looked at a group of

really a shame that the things
that people had worked on for a
long time had been destroyed.
She ended our conversation
on a happy note. "What I hop is

Victory attributed to defense
That there are more ways to
score on defense in football
than on offense has frequently
been expounded over the years
by such reknown gridiron
mentors as the late Gen. Robert
Reese Neyland and Alabama's
Paul (Bear) Bryant.
East Carolina's defense didn't
score a point Saturday
afternoon in Carbondale, III
but there was no denying that it
was the Pirates' defense and not
the offense that brought home a
17-3 victory, the first of the
season and a victory that
snapped a five jame losing
streak over a two-season period.

Bucs defeat Chowan
Possibly inspired by the
afternoon efforts of their big
brothers, East Carolina's Baby
Bucs came up with their top
offensive effort of the season
Saturday night to hand Chowan
a 33 27 defeat at Chowan.
Led by Leslie Strayhorn and
Mark Hamilton, the Pirates
piled up 314 yards rushing to
push their season's record to
2 1.
Strayhorn, a Trenton
product, scored three times as
picked up 113 yards in 15
carrjes. He clicked off
touchdown runs of 11 yards,
one yard and 79 yards.
Hamilton, from Colorado
Springs, Colo, carried 11 times
for 117 yards and two
touchdowns. He scored on runs
of 26 and 41 yards.
"It wrs the finest offensive
effort we had this year Coach
Bill Cain said, "and the defense
came up with an outstanding
effort late in the game when
Chowan was putting on such ai,
effort to come from behind
It was a rugged, hard-hitting
game all the way and both teams
were assessed more than 100
yards in penalties.
"I felt we were fortunate to
come out on top Cain said.
"Chowan has a fine team, but
we have improved a great deal
since the beginning of the
season and I'm very proud of
the effort our boys put forth
Besides Strayhorn and
Hamilton, Cain lauded Rick
Page at blocking back and Ron
Konrady on the defensive unit.
"Page played and called an
excellent game and Konrady
was outstanding late in the game
when the defense rose to the
occasion to stop Chowan's
offense Cain said.
Bert Shoferty, who shared
fullback duties with Strayhorn
picked up 63 yards for the
Pirates on 20 carries. Over the
season, Stryahorn has 174 yards
for a 4.9 average, Hamilton has
221 yards for a 4.6 average and
Shoferty 122 yards for a 3.1
average.
The Baby Bucs will play their
first game at Ficklen Stadium
Nov. 7 against Richmond. They
will play their first game at
Ficklen Stadium Nov. 7 against
Richmond. They will close out
the season Nov. 14 against The

"We've learned some nice
things in the first week Quinn,
the eternal optimist, said.
"As ws expected, the

"In the past we have started
out with the half court game,
but we ound the full court

he said.
With only five players on the
squad from last year, Quinn has
had to spend considerable time
on teaching his system to the
newcomers, but he praised his
three returning starters for their
help in this area.
"For example Quinn
explained, "the group wasn't

they were back by mid-week.

He said considerable work is
being done to get depth in the

working at forward and center.
Soccer team loses
East- Carolina's soccer team
ran into trouble in the first
quarter Saturday and wound up
on the short end of a 7-2
decision to George Washington
on the Colonials home field.
George Washington, the
Southern Conference favorite in
the soccer championship race,
scored four timec before the
Pirates got their offense
working, and from then on it
was a fairly even match.
Steve Luquire and Bill
Snyder got the two goals for the
Pirates.
East Carolina's record for the
season is now 1-4. It is 12 in the
conference.

SGA raises questions over
University Union proposal
Tuesday, October 28, 1969, Fountainhead, Page II
ftfi
ByJOHNSCHOFIELD
SGA President
was
In Thursday's paper, there
.n article concerning the
hes of the University Union
to assume the entertainment
functions of the Student
Government Association. In the
article, Conwell Worthington,
president of the Union, said to
tne effect that the theory of the
University Union is to supervise
a rampus entertainment; and,
indeed, this might be in theory
the function of the Univeisity
Union. However, as we all
know, oftentimes theory and
practicalities do not go hand in
hand.
I have met with my
committee chairmen of the five
entertainment committees.
They have all expressed their
thoughts to me concerning this
particular issue Not one of
them supports the Union
proposal. They raised many
serious questions which I don't
know if the Union has even
considered.
(1) If the Union does assume
the responsibility for booking
entertainment on this campus
and for some reason the student
body doesn't like that
entertainment, how can the
student voice his disapproval?
With the SGA, they have one of
two alternatives. They can
eithei join a committee and
express their disapproval there,
oi an even more effective way
would be to express their
disapproval in the ballot box.
However, with the way the
union operates, this would not
be the case. Only students who
are active members of the
University Union can vote on
policy concerning this.
So, if the students want to
express their disapproval of the
entertainment proposed by the
Union, they would have to join
the Union to do this. I do not

believe that this is a realistic
situation, because most people
will not join just to express
disapproval.
(2) The present membership
of the Union is approximately
45. The approximate
membership of the SGA
entertainment committees is
approximately 45. Therefore, in
order for the Union to assume
the functions of handling
entertainment, they would
necessarily have to increase
their membership at a minimum
of 100 per cent.
In my opinion, it would have
to increase more so. I have heard
that the Union needs as many
members as it possibly can get at
the present time just for
maintenance of their present
operations. If they handle the
entertainment, they would, I
believe be desperately
shorthanded.
(3) I don't believe the
Student Government
Association has failed in its
obligation to the student body
in the realm of entertainment.
We spend about $110,000 a
year; and as every year goes by,
the quality of our
entertainment greatly expands.
The cost of homecoming this
year is 520,000. Five years ago,
this was the budget of all five
entertainment committees.
Until the Union can show me
and the SGA we are not
providing the students with the
best entertainment possible or
until they can show me and the
SGA that the Union can do a
better job, then we can all
wholeheartedly oppose this
idea.
(4) In the articles that
appeared in the newspaper and
in talking with Mr.
Worthington, he expressed no
proposal on how the Union
would finance the
entertainment. This is probably
one of the most vital questions.
Psychologist
predicts life
in communes
CHARLOTTE (AP) A
Harvard psychologist predicts
Americans will start a trend
toward communal, tribe-like
living within 30 years.
"I really think we're going to
see it before the end of the
century said Dr. B. F. Skinner.
Skinner, author of the
Utopian novel "Walden Two"
and one of the country's leading
students of behavioral
psychology, acknowledged a
kinship between his predictions
and communities of so-called
"hippies
But he said the communes set
up by "young men in revolt"
were too badly organized to
survive.
He said modern families are
too small to make living
together emotionally
comfortable.
But larger groups of people,
the psychologist declared, "can
live together with good internal
personal relationships
The chairmen of the five
entertainment committees of
the SGA and I whole heartedlv
oppose the proposal of the
University Union. We feel that
we are providing the student
body with excellent
entertainment. We do not feel
that the Union, if given this
responsibility, could adequately
handle the awesome
responsibility of booking
lectures, the artists series, and
popular entertainment for the
student body.
I ask each and every student
to think about this. Who can do
a better job, the SGA or the
Union?
California license plates
ban PIG, MAO, SEX, etc.
By JIM HECK
SACRAMENTO, Cal. (CPS)
- Once upon a time a state
highway patrolman stopped a
hippie speeder on Interstate 80
and asked for his driver's license
number and license plate
number.
"PIG The angry motorist
began. Needless to say, the cop
was piqued.
"Just give me your license
plate number The officer
insisted, so the iegend goes.
"PIG 1- "
"That's enough the brute
force of his voice terrified the
hippie.
Well, if you haven't caught on
yet, the gentilman with the long
hair had a license plate number
PIG 135. All California plates,
since they were issued in 1963,
begin with three letters.
At last, Gov Ronald Reagan
has rectified this embarrassing
situation. New license plates
will be issued this year, and a
full-scale program was develo-
ped to exclude certain offensive
letter combinations.
Researchers at the University
if California's linguistic depart
ment spent hours ravaging seven
languages for abbreviated op-
probriums that might be some-
what naughty.
Registration Chief John L.
McLaughlin gave a list of
3-lptter combinations with
some restraint, afterall they
were obscene words.
Banned from the sun-painted
highways of the Sierra Nevada is
PIG, SEX, BRA, BVD and a few
others.
RAT, SAP, SOT, ALE and
RUM are also deemed too
suggestive. And FAG and DAM
also go.
On the political side, KKK is
forever banned, but as a con-
cension to liberaliti, GOD goes,
also.
GYP, HAG, DDT, CAD, BAD
and BAG are eliminated along
with FAT.
One combination seemed
confusing. McLaughlin, trem-
bling as though telling his grade
schoolers the facts of life,
simply said that it was just not
proper to have YES streaming
down the streets and alleys of
proper California.
But don't worry, McLaughlin
Quickly conceeded. If you've an
irate mind, although you can't
get PIG or SEX or RUM, you
can still have HOG, LSD, POT,
or MAO.
And then McLaughlin
blushed and whispered: "We
found something that was real
bad in French that is still going
to be used
But he wouldn't say it, darn
it.
Mass news media play
opinion?forming role
By ALLEN RUTLEDGE
Many people have distinct
impressions of political issues
and figures without realizing
how they were molded. A
newspaper editor is a powerful
man. What he writes is read by
thousands of people. He can
make and mold the public mind
and condition our neighbor's
thoughts. He can makeor break
political candidates and
patriotic causes. He can make
the truth seem a lie and the
falsehood respectable. Even
though you can write a letter
opposing the views of the
newspaper, compared to the
rest of the newspaper it would
be insignificant.
The communists invade
Czechoslovakia and are
extending their influence in
Vietnam. What do we hear?
"Down with American
imperialism The office of
Economic Opportunity spends
our tax money to finance
various revolutionaries, but we
only hear about the threat of
the military-industrial complex.
James Forman and Robert
Williams, members of the
Republic of New Africa,
demand $500 million in
reparations to be used to
establish a black nation within
the U.S. All we hear about is
white racism and
discrimination.
Why do we divert our
attention from the threat of the
far left? Clearly the news media
has played a substantial role in
helping us form our opinions
and make our judgements. Time
and time again we turn on the
television and see the chaos and
destruction S.D.S. and other
militant groups have caused.
Then at the end of the story, the
commentator will tell us that
they are really just idealists and
maybe the older generation has
something to learn from them.
Recently, the majoi
television networks and leaders
of prominent news magazines
have admitted leftist bias in
their news presentation.
N.B.Cs Shad Northshield, in
reaction to public sentiment
against coverage of the Chicaqo
N At ional Democratic
convention, said: "Bias is on
everybody's mind. I was
stunned by the public reaction
to Chicago. Fifty-six per cent
said we were unfair. It raises
enormous questions about
journalism News president of
N.B.C Reuven Franks said:
"The general view of the public
is that we have too many
radicals in the network news
departments C.B.Ss Bill
Leonard said: "The right and
middle complainthat we put on
irresponsible people from the
left
Obviously, no news coverage
can be unbiased, but when we
are constantly exposed to the
same bias without an opposing
opinion being expiessed, we
begin to take it for the truth.
