Schofield term ends
To the Students:
I submit to you my formal resignation as President of your Student Government
ssociation. I must resign because I have graduated. According to our constitution, the
Presidency succeeds to Bob Whitley, the vice president.
It has been an honor for me to serve you, and it has been the supreme challenge
which I have had to face in my life. However, it was not a burdensome challenge. Few
understand the feeling that comes to you when the realization that you are there
erve 10 000 students and to watch one-third of a million dollars become evident.
It is my hope and the hope of my cabinet that what we have been able to do in the
?? will not end with the corning election. We hope the SGA's of the future will
Jnue to strive toward one goal, that being the goal oj thestudentparUcwatwn?
,emment and in his academic community. The administration has adopted a policy
lt dunes their faith in the students of East Carolina. A meaningful start toward
$tudent involvement has been made. We have been fortunate that the administration
IK fiSSmSlas become a potent force at East Carolina. However if
its effectiveness is to continue, we must have student leaders who will be responsible
onouoh to fortify the faith that the administration has shown in the SGA.
The time has drawn near for you to elect the SGA that will guide yfyeart
is my hone that you will vote and vote wisely. Please do not think that these elections
a?iTagame key are not. The type of student life that you want depends on the
type of SGA you have. Weigh the alternatives and then vote wisely
Uhatbein an honor for me to serve you this past yea, It is an honor that I unl
not lono forget. I thank you for the opportunity. I hope that what we have been able
to do has in some measure brought you a measure of happiness and "

Irish honor
Saint Patrick
By BARBARA FUSSELL
Staff Writer
Green clothing and four-leaf
clover pins will be worn
Tuesday as Irish people all over
the world honor their national
saint, Patrick.
In the United States, the
first layman's celebration of
this day was given by the
Charitable Irish Society of
Boston about the middle of the
18th century. Later the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick
was organized in Philadelphia
and New York City to
celebrate the anniversary.
New York also observes St.
Patrick Day with a special mass
and a parade on Fifth Avenue,
reviewed by the Cardinal and
staff of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Individuals celebrate St.
Patrick's Day in ways such as
"the wearin' o' the green and
kissing the Blarney Stone. A
Greenville high school student
once dyed her hair green in
honor of the occasion.
Patrick is honored beause of
his efforts to bring Christianity
to Ireland.
Patrick was born a Roman
citizen but there are doubts
about his exact place of birth.
It is thought to be west of
Britain.
At the age of 16, he was

'Earth Day' plans
include rally, panel
Plans are being made for a
campus observation of "Earth
Day
"Earth Day April 22, is
the brainchild of a national
organization called Environ-
mental Teach-In, Inc.
The newly formed campus
organization, Concerned Bi
ologists for Environmental
Action (CBEA) will sponsor
the activities here.
The CBEA is composed of
graduate students in biology.
Eldon Nelson, CBEA chair
man, said several faculty mem-
bers and officials, including Dr.
Clifford Knight and Dr. Prem
Sehgal, will be working directly
with the committee and will
give their full support. GAP
will also help, Nelson said.
The committee has
scheduled workshops on such
environmental issues as the
federal, state and local
contributions to a better
environment and the
population problem.
A rally on the mall is also
planned. Guest speakers will
meet in a moderated panel
discussion.
The original idea for the
Teach-in came from Senator
Gaylord Nelson, who had
mentioned it in several
addresses. He received a
volume of mail in response to
them. Gaylord then appeared
on the Today Show and
afterwards received nearly a
thousand letters. A group of
interested people formed a sort
of policy committee which
turned into the national
steering committee. The
committee is comprised of
three students, three
jrofessors, two politicians and
a conservationist. Denis Hayes
heads the committee, which
opened its first officeb in
January.
The committee has received
over $50,000 in donations
from the Conservation
Foundation, the Damroth
Foundation, the American
Conservation Association, the
IrwinSweeny Miller
Foundation, the National
Audubon Society, and the
Deerfield Foundation.
"We're fighting for a total
reevaluation of what we call
progress, the American way of
life. We think we're simply
heading in the wrong
direction Hayes said.
Concerning what will be
done April 22, Hayes said,
"there are some concrete plans
to stop traffic in some major
metropolitan areas. There will
be gatherings up of garbage for
deposit on state capitols and
in front of major polluting
industries. There will be
pickets. There will be
informational leaflet
distribution. There will be
community canvassing, and in
some areas of the country,
where there simply hasn't been
much political movement in
the past, I suspect there will
simply be meetings of students
with various people who have
some knowledge of the
environmental crisis for an
exchange r. f information,
hopefully with a great many
critical questions arising in the
audience
A meeting will be held

Scott emphasizes need
for student motivation
Gov. Robert Scott called
education "the key to better
living" in an address to the
12th Annual Industrial Arts
Conference for School
Administrators here Friday.
"It is up to the teacher to
motivate youngsters to excel in
their work, and up to the
administration to motivate the
teachers Scott said.
About 130 high school
administrators from eastern
North Carolina met for the
one day conference. It was
designed to acquaint the
administrators with industrial
and technical education.
"We are recognizing that we
have to do more than just keep
the potential dropout in
schools. We must motivate and
stimulate him while he is in
school. This is why we have
this new program of
occupational exploration in the
middle grades in 21 school
districts Scott said.
"Basically this is an
opportunity for children in as
early as the sixth grade to
begin to exploit the world of
work. This leads to selective
exploration and eventually to
secondary courses in vocational
education in specialized areas
Scott said.
The governor traced the
upward swing in public school
and higher enrollment as well
as in the vocational and
industrial facilities across the
state. He said enrollment in
colleges and universities is now
three times what it was 20
years ago. Likewise, the
dropout rate in public schools
is steadily declining.
He emphasized that the
public school system must be
protected because there is " an
awful lot of good coming out
of it
"I urge you as school
administrators to tell the
people about things going on
today in education in North
Carolina. I urge you during

ECU delegation attends SSL
Arriving with one of the
largest delegations, students
from ECU recently
participated in the 33rd annual
session of the State Student
Legislature (SSL) held March
4-7 at the Holiday Inn in
Raleigh.
The delegates from 25 Jr.
and Sr. colleges in N.C.
reviewed legislation as if they
were in fact the State General
Assembly.
The bills passed by both the
House and the Senate in the
form of laws are submitted to
the General Assembly as
resolutions.
In its 33 year history 43 per
cent of the bills passed by the
SSL have become N.C. law.
John Farrel, president pro
tern of the senate from
Belmont Abbey said. "We're
one of the few student groups
that has a record of being
listened to.
"This is the most effective
way in North Carolina to
express the opinion of the
young
Bills which were passed
included: a bill lowering the
voting age to 18, a bill
repealing the soft drink tax, an
act prohibiting the down
grading of water resources by
industry, a bill repealing Blue
laws, and an act repealing the
death sentence for convictions
of rape.
The bill introduced by the
ECU delegation, which would
have provided for a

used as a communications link
among the state supported

these troubled times to do all
you can to enlist the support
of all people for our schools
and for education in North
Carolina Scott told the
group.
At the conclusion of his
talk, Scott was presented a
plaque by President Leo
Jenkins. The wooden plaque,
made by the Department of
Industrial and Technical
Education, is to remind Scott
of the campus and its needs.
Special guests for the
conference also included Dr.

Dr. Kenneth Bing.
schools, was defeated.
Although passing easily in
the House, it received much
negative debate in the senate
from the large state supported
and private schools which
could not be included in trie
program.
Those who debated
negatively against the bill said
that those who would serve on
the Board already served in an
advisory capacity and that
communications were good
enough now.
Affirmative debate argued
that effictive communications
between state supported
schools did not exist.
The schools compete with
each other voting on awards
for the best delegation, which
ECU won last year, best
speaker of the House, best
speaker of the Senate and best
bill.
ECU Senator Bob Thonen,
debating on nearly every issue,
received the award for best
Speaker of the Senate.

student legislature.

Study in Germany
aids student learning
Three programs for studying
in Germany are available to
qualified students, according to
Dr. Henry Wanderman,
chairman of the German
department.
Wanderman said that his
department acts as liason
between interested ECU
students and sponsors of the
programs.
Credit for these programs is
given by the sponsoring schools
and transferred to ECU. Effort
is made to provide financial
assistance if needed.
The third program is a
SUfWTW SflWtOO. UWm ??????
and is given by ECU directly.
The cost is $650 all-inclusive,
and no financial aid is offered.
The value of such programs,
said Wanderman, is the
opportunity they provide for
first-hand understanding of the
German people, their customs
and culture.
Wanderman emphasized that
programs for studying abroad
are not vacations, and are to be
approached seriously.
However, he said, "Learning

Mermen cop conference crown
Griffin 'outstanding swimmer'
By DON TRAUSNECK
Sports Editor
The Pirates have won it
again.
For the fifth straight year,
East Carolina has captured the
Southern Conference
Swimming and Diving
Championship. The Pirates
took the title in a meet held
here during the vacation.
The victory was won in spite
of the strongest showing ever
by runner-up William and
Mary. When it was all over, the
Pirates had collected 603
points to 536 for the Indians,
289 for VMI, and 162for
Davidson.
East Carolina bad taken an
overwhelming lead after the
first two days of the three day
event, but a strong showing by
William and Mary in the
200-yard backstroke, in which
Ken Hungate was the only
Pirate to finish among the top
six (he placed third), cut the
gap to within 18 points.
The Bucs dominated the last
four events, however, to clinch
the triumph-perhaps the
sweetest win ever for the Pirate
mermen.
As usual, Jim Griffin was an
outstanding performer for the
Pirates, He captured individual
championships in the 100, 200,
and 500-yard freestyle and
eclipsed his won conference
record in each event.
In addition, Griffin
anchored the winning 400 and
800-yard relay teams, giving
the Pirates needed points in
each event and enabling the
400-yard relay team to break
the previous conference record.
For his fine performance,
the Norfolk, Va sophomore
was named the Outstanding
Swimmer of the Meet for the
second straight year.
NORRIS TRIPLE WINNER
The Pirates could not do it
with only one swimmer,
though, and Griffin had a
capable supporting cast. Wayne
Norris was also a triple winner,
setting two conference records.
Bob Baird captured both diving
events. Steve Weissman and
Garry Frederick were the only
other individual winners for
the Pirates, who won 12 of the
18 events contested.
Norris captured the

an attempt to raise $50,000 to
support the East Carolina
athletic fund. The Drive is
expected to net an increase of
$12,000 over last years
contributions.
"The Club will support all
13 sports at ECU. We're not
just supporting footballwe're
supporting basketball and
swimming and track and all the
other teams of the university
said Ed Rawl, president of the
clubs.
He said that the money the
Pirate Club hopes to raise will
go mostly for grant-in-aid
scholarships-something for
which state funds cannot be
used.
"We've got some great new
coaches here at ECU said
Rawl, "and they are going to
get some great players to wear
irate uniforms. But to get the
great players you have to give
scholarshipsand you have to
raise money to pay for these
scholarships
The money will be collected
on a person-to-person drive.

'prize

Coach Mike McGee was fortunate last wee to land a pri?
catch for East Carolina's ever-improving football program.
In a press conference held in Wilson, McGee announced the
signing of Carlester Crumpler for a full four-year grant-in-aid to
pla football for the pirates.
This was perhaps the best news in the history of East
Carolina sports. Carlester, or "C. C. Ryder as he : ownbYhis
fnends. has led his high school, Ralph L. Fike of Wilson, to the
state 4-A football championship for the past three fears,
Carlester s accomplishments on the football ie!d for Fike
were -jmerous. In three years, he carried the bail 530 times,
gained 4.283 yards rushing, and scored 42 touchdowns
The totals for his senior year are even more fantastic. While
:e Cyclones breezed through 12 opponents for an jndefeatec
season, Carlester gained 2,275 yards, nearly 200 a game, and
scored an amazing 28 times.

PIRATE HOPES FOR the 1970 baseball season rest on
a better balanced hitting attack, led by Dick Corrada
(above), Stu Garret, and Roy Taylor.
Trackmen strong
Led by one of the finest
freshmen teams in the South,
the 1970 edition of the East
Carolina track and field squad
anticipates an exciting season.
Coach Bill Carson called the
upcoming season promising,
but he pointed out that spring
football, injuries, and
inexperience will hinder the
Bucs in the early going.
The running events, which
were the strong point of last
years squad, will feature man,
young Buc cindermen. Leading
the way in the sprints will be
Mark Hamilton, Bill Mitchell,
and Les Strayhorn. All three
will be splitting their time in
the early going between track
and football.
Baseball season opens;
Pirates bow, 1-0, to Duke
By DON TRAUSNECK
Sports Editor
The Pirate baseball team
went into its opener with Duke
Saturday with hopes of having
another fine season based on
an improved hitting attack.
When it was all over,
however, the Pirates had fallen
victim to a one-hitter, 1-0.
Only Stan Sneeden, who
drilled a two-out single in the
second, hit safely for the
Pirates, and only five other
batters reached base, all on
walks.
Fortunately for the Pirates
this was a non-conference
game. They have until April 4
to get ready for their first
conference opponent.
A fine young crop of
pitchers led by Ron Hastings,
who started Saturday and
worked six strong innings, is
expected to give the Bucs
added strength this year. In
addition, coach Earl Smith
noted that the fielding has
improved over previous
seasons.
Hastings, who allowed only
one hit, a lead-off single in the
third, was removed in favor of
Hal Beard to start the seventh.
Beard immediately got into
control trouble as he allowed
the Blue Deviis to score the

game's only run without a
base-hit. A walk, a hit batter,
and two sacrifices brought
about the score.
In addition to the single
allowed by Hastings, only one
other Duke batter hit safely in
the sluggish contest, played
before 200 fans who braved a
chilly wind. The Devils were
able to come up with harmless
single in the top of the eighth.
This being an even year,
superstitious Pirate fans are
hoping for history to repeat
itself. For the last six years, the
Pirates have been particularly
strong in even-numbered years.
In 1964, the Pirates received
an at-large bid to the NCAA
playoffs. In 1966 and again in
1968, they won the Southern
Conference championship.
With that in mind, if
everything shapes up as well as
anticipated, this should be the
36th straight winning season
for the Pirates.

The legends of Ireland,
By KAREN BLANSFIELD
Atop an isolated limestone
rock, at the junction of the
Blarney and Coomaun Rivers
in County Cork, Ireland, stands
an old castle, called Blarney
Castle.
The castle the third one on
the site, was built by Cormac
Laidhr McCarthy, the lord of
Muskerry, on the foundations
of the second castle, which had
been constructed in 1200.
At one time it was the
strongest in Munster-one of
the five early traditional
divisions of Ireland-but it later
became the object o several
seiges.
During the 17th century it
was captured by Henry Ireton
the commander of Olivei
Cromwell's Irish campaign.
Then, in the latter part of the
century, the army of King
William III wrecked a 'arge
portion of the castle. The walls
are 18 feet thick in some
places.
BLARNEY STONE
High up in the castle is a
massive square tover with a
battlement and machicolations.
On the sill of one of the
machicolations on the south
side of the tower sits the
famous Blarney Stone, it bears
the Latin inscription, Cormac
McCar fortis mi fieri fecit
A.D. 1446 (Cormac McCarthy
caused me to be built strong in
1446.)
According to legend, anyone
who kisses the stone is
endowed with powers of
fluency and eloquence,
commonly called "blarnev.
Vhere the legend originated,
no one knows. No mention of
it has been found before the
18th centu
But it is thought that the
association of the n a e
Blarney with the ' gift of gab"
dates from the beginning of the
17th century, during the re .

hammered away at his shoes.
With a quick move, Sean
reached down and grabbed the
little man in his fist. "Ah-ha
he cried, gazing intently at the
leprachaun. "I've got you now.
Tell me where your gold is
hidden
"Ay, that I will the little
fellow replied with a gleam in
his eye. "Do ye see that
twisted tree over there by the
pond?"
ean replied
You re not going to trick me
into looking away. You must
take me to your treasure
The leprachaun reluctantly
agreed, and told Sean where to
go. Sean followed his
directions, never once
removing his gaze from him
Soon they came to a big
field, which had once been a
forest, but was now filled with
tree stumps. The leprachaun
pointed to one of the tree
stumps and said, "Under that
stump is hidden my pot of
gold
Sean was very excited, but
he realized that he was going to
naed a shovel to dig up the
treasure.
Still keeping his eyes on the
leprachaun, he removed a red
scarf from his neck and tied it
around the stump.
"Now he said, "I will give
you your freedom only if you
swear that you will not remove
that scarf while I am gone
Seeing that he had no
choice, the leprachaun
reluctantly agreed. Sean
released him, and hurried home
to get a shovt , all the while
thinking of the treasure that
was soon to be his.
When he returned, he could
hardly beleive his eyes. His red
scarf was still there, but there
was a red scarf exactly like his
around every tree stump as far
as he could see.

King Niall of the Nine
Hostages, during a raid on West
Britain in about 400 A.D. He
was taken to Ireland where he
was sold as a slave to the
pagans.
As a youth, Patrick was
indifferent to religion, but as a
slave he devoted himself to
God. His life became
determined by dreams and
visions which he claimed were
of divine inspiration. He hoped
some day he would be able to
bring the message of
Christianity to the people who
had enslaved him.
DREAM OF SHIP
After six years of bondage,
he had a dream which told him
there was a ship waiting to take
him home. He escaped from
the pagans and after walking
200 Roman miles he came to a
port where a ship lay ready to
sail. The captain at first refused
him passage, but finally
relented.
Patrick joined the crew, and
after a three-day voyage, he
and the rest of the crew landed
in Brittany. Destitute and
hungry, they wandered
through desolate country for
weeks. In answer to Patrick's
prayers, a herd of wild pigs
appeared in their path and
saved them from starvation.
ANOTHER DREAM
At length, Patrick found
himself once more with his
parents, who urged him not to
leave them again. But one night
in a dream Patrick saw a man
coming toward him, who gave
him a letter, the opening words
of which were "The voice of

As he read he seemed to
hear the voices of those who
were near his place of slavery
crying out: "We beseech thee
holy youth to come and walk
once more amongst us
Patrick stayed at home, and
spent the next 14 years
preparing to be a missionary,
pursuing his studies with
sincerity and vigor.
RETURN TO IRELAND
Patrick returned to Ireland
in 432A.D a year which
marks the beginning of a new
and "golden era" in Irish
history.
He began teaching the
Gospel in County Down, where
he made progress with the
common people. Patrick had
no difficulty converting the
Irish people since the old
religion lacked discipline.
There are no records of "public
protests" or "religious riots"
against his mission.
Patrick knew, though, that
he must also reach the Irish
who held powerful positions.
Therefore, he sought the High
King of the old religion, the

Patrick and his band of
teachers swept the country
from north to south, and he
established his Archbishop at
Armagh.
"CONFESSION"
Before he died, Patrick
wrote his "Confession which
is an account of his conduct.
From the document, one learns
that he was accused of lack of
higher education, coming to
Ireland for money purposes
only, and spending money too
freely.
Before he came to Ireland,
he was recommended as a
candidate for the episcopacy.
At that time, a certain friend,
who had previously favored his
elevation, revealed a crime that
Patrick had committed in his
youth.
Nothing is known of the
nature of this sin, but its
disclosure brought about his
rejection and deeply hurt
Patrick.
Despite the accusations, the
Irish people honored him for
his efforts in the development
of Christianity and made him
the patron saint of Ireland.

The first REAL people's
music festival is about to
happen: the Seminole rock
revival.
"Come Together" will
happen Easter weekend, in
Florida, on Seminole Indian
land, to celebrate year one of
the New Age.
Everybody in the music
world who digs people will be
there among the people,
including Jefferson Airplane,
the Byrds, Canned Heat and
the Chambers Brothers.
Maybe you're into Lennon's
New Year's message, "come

Easter is before
This people's festival is
different from Atlanta,
Woodstock or other festivals.
All of the money from those
festivals was channeled into the
American hip pocket. The
profits from "Come Together"
will stay among the Indians,
and will also benefit a Yoga
institute.
The admission is $5 per head
(same for straights), and
Indians get in for free.

Editor's note: The following are individual interviews of the candidates for President
and Treasure' held by the Fountainhead staff.
What is on your list of priorities for what you plan to accomplish while in
office?
, Bob Whitley
I think first that the student government needs to make more of an
effort to inform the students on what the student government is doing,
how the students can become involved and what the student government
can do for each student. We in the SGA must realize that there are so
many things, though some very small, that the student government can
do to benefit the students. For instance, the men on the hill need a
lighted pedestrian walkway to Minges, the women in the dorms need
support in their effort to abolish or revise many of their regulations, we
all need to be guaranteed entertainment tickets at Homecoming, we
need to insure the objectivity of our publications, we need to see where
our student government money is going, we should be guaranteed that
our reading days, scheduled for each quarter next year, be enforced. I
think the student government needs to make an effort to increase school
spirit in support of our athletics. Probably more important than these,
and my last point, is that the student government should make each
student feel that his student government is working for his benefit. This
can only be done by an active student government-not just a
representative student government.
Len Mancini
The very first priority is to see that at least $5,000 gets rechanneled
into the emergency loan fund. It is ridiculous when five out of six
people who apply for an emergency loan from the SGA get turned away
because of lack of money in the fund.
An SGA that could not secure one day per quarter as a reading day
does not "cut the mustard The lame brain excuse that it isn't or, the
calendar is just that, a lame brain excuse.
Another important priority is to redistribute the funds (that are
already available to the SGA) in a more meaningful and efficient manner
so that all students would receive the maximum utility from their
activity fee. This would then lead to such things as more campus buses.
In specific regards to the dorm students, to initiate a program
whereby refrigerators could be put into every room of every dorm at a
price less than the current one. Presently the SGA is making $2 per
refrigerator rented. The SGA should serve the students, not exploit
them.
The SGA should insure that the autonomy of the MRC and WRC is
respected. The larger more central government should never take it upon
itself to "push around" the smaller more local government.
Finally, but not necessarily least in importance, is to see to it that
the school newspaper "play it straight that is, report the news and not
distort it If they want to call me names on the editorial page, that is
their privilage, but it should be confined to the editorial page. I am just
asking them to reevaluate themselves not government imposed
censorship.
What is your view of the role of the office you seek in regards to the
legislature?
Len Mancini
In any government, whether it be the government in Washington,
Raleigh or the student government here at ECU, the executive must be
the one to set the goals of that government and put it ton the road
which would ultimately realize these objectives. As speaker of the
Legislature, I have already gotten a good working rapport with that
body Therefore, there would be less friction in the student government
if I were advanced to the office of president, since I have already
worked with the legislature. Simply, it would be easier for me to
implement my goals through the legal processes of legislative action.
Bob Whitley
Well, of course, the executive branch is a separate branch fromjhe
legislature and throughout our American h.story he ?????ch
has been protected, but we have got to realize that we can toverloo
the sole purpose of our student government-that of P o ecting ?-
interests of the students. Many times this year I f el like ontovc sy

What have been the maior contributions you have made ,0 your present
office?
Bob Whitley
I was chairman of the Homecoming parade and I think that this
year's parade was the most elaborate that we have ever had. Of course, I
don't want to take all of the credit for this because the work of the
various organizations, fraternaties and sororities made Homecoming the
success that it was. As ring chairman, I tried to have more ring sales
throughout the year. I tried to make myself available to students who
wanted to order rings. I've tried to create more school spirit with the
victory bells at Homecoming and various pins to support our athletic
teams. I also risked my own personal money to see that we had a pep
band at the North Carolina State Basketball game. Probably the thing
that I am most proud of is that I have kept my door open to any
students who sought advice or who had a gripe. I tried to make the
office less bureaucratic and more interested in students.
Len Mancini
As speaker of the Legislature this year, I have initiated a system
whereby a set of statute books of all legislation passed would be kept in
permanent form. It must be remembered though, unless the executive
branch sets the goals of the government, the legislative branch is
virtually impotent to act. They must be given something to act upon.
This past year, I am sorry to say, no vision was provided by the
executive branch and to a certain degree I am fed up with "milk-toast"
executives. The speaker is in a unique position becuase he is high
enough within the hierarchy of the SGA to see the inconsistencies, but
not high enough to do anything about them.
What are the duties of the office you seek and how do you plan to
execute them?
Len Mancini
The duties of the president are to set the goals at the beginning of
his administration and see to it that they get carried out. I mentioned
what my goals or priorities in the first question of this interview. Since I
am a bit older than most of the students on this campus (I spent four
years in the service before coming to ECU) I have great contempt for
the type of childish bickering the SGA is notorious for engaging in. I
feel quite confident about implementing my plans as quickly and
smoothly as possible. Also. I think the people in the adm.nistrat.on
would be more receptive to a person with my particular background. I
dislike being shoved aside even by Ph.D's.
Bob Whitley
Of course the president is responsible for the appointment of the
various student government committees and the cabinet. I'd like to see
people appointed to these positions who are interested in working and I
don't want to make these appointments political or personal. Our
president also represents all the students in all of the formal functions
of the University. Perhaps the most important duty, and it's probably
not in the constitution, is that the president must be familiar with the
students and their needs. In my platform, I've suggested regular press
conferences which would give both the student and the press a chance
to question the president and to find out what is going on. Also, a
weekly article in the Fountainhead by the head of the student
government would help bridge the communications gap that now exists.
One of the largest disputes in the SGA this year has been over the
power of the Publications Board. What is you view of this dispute and
your opinions on solving it?
Bob Whitley
Well during the campaign I've discovered that many students have
gripes concerning our publications and I definitely think we need to
change the structure of our publications board. The board should cons,
of interested students who could look at our publications objectively It
should not include as regular voting members the editors of the
publications. We've got to remember that East Carolina s reputation
outside of campus is determined a great deal by our publications. We
need to protect our various All-American ratings but we should, at the
same time, guarantee students worthwhile publications.
Len Mancini
The problem that arose over the publications Board concerned the
interpretation of its By Laws. The speaker develops a rather intricate
knowledge of such aspects of the legislative process. I know exactly
what needs to be clarified so that all concerned will be satisfied It
should be remembered, accordina to the Constitution, that the Review
Board has original jurisdiction in ultimately interpreting the laws.
However, I think the needed clarification concerning the Publications
Board By-Laws need not reach that "last-ditch" point.

In irrying out its purpose of serving the student, the student

Concerning the student apathy what do you feel should be done to
interest the students in participating in voting, etc.?
Bob Whitley
l th nk often t mes we are too hastv to label students as being
apathetic i m sure th t there are many who can be called apathetic, but
there are many more who are nterested and only need a chance to be
exposed arc nformed aoout our student government. Throughout the
campaign I ha;e tried to contact, persona . as many students as
possioie to te them what I d like to see our student government do. I
an , -ore that they a examine the ssues and objectively cast their
vote.
Len Mancini
I think sometimes the word apathy is a bit overdone. Simply
because a student is apathetic to the SGA doesn't necessarily mean he is
apathetic His interests might be in intramurals or some club or fraternal
organization. To each his own. This is a University, if people can't do
th-? ? ?? thing then a hat car they dc"1
Are there any changes you would propose in the SGA and what are
they?
Len Mancini
Very simply, a government is only as good as the people in it. I
suggest that a substantial number of the people in the SGA, especially in
the executive branch either groA up or learn to control their tendencies
toward meaningless bickering

Treasurer Candidates
What is on your list of priorities for what you plan to accomplish while
in office?
Steve Sharpe
A-l feei 5 f nancial statement of the SGA budget should appear in
the Fountainhead at least one a week and that copies of the budget
should oe z stributed to all dorms and the strategic locations for day
st-ce-ts
gl 'eei that there should be a substantial increase in the
en an fund to benefit the total student body.
C ee :ua: a third bus that can alternate between the women's
xms and the " luring the schoo' day should be added with the
poss bi ty i one of ? three r .nning on Saturdays. I would like to see
the Cses run a more complete route of the University than at present.
This would not mean an -ncrease in the activity fee for students. The
additional bil could be paid f by 1 excess revenue coming in from
the refrigerator rentals
0l fee ? . ?. ? . ? " nsored by the boys' and
girls dorr- . ? serve I decrease apathy and the impression of a
suitcase University Since the SGA would be in charge of only the
coordination of such a program, no additional expense would be
necessary.
Jim Watts
i don't think that any one candidate can come up with a list of
priorities It takes the executive council to do so and that cannot be
adhered to strictly because the executive council must be able to
respond to the needs of the students as they arise.
Areas that I think should receive special consideration are the
transportation systems, publications and the expanded role of the
student government.
John Cooper
1 Aid in reducing the prices of concert tickets 50 per cent. This, at
the same time, would give the students priority on tickets. This will be
done by having two shows on the same evening-doubling the capacity
of Minges Coliseum.
2 Publish monthly budgets to show the students where their money
will be going the following month and where it went during the past
month.
3 To get students to communicate with the SGA officers.
4 To acquire a third transit bus to alleviate the crowded conditions.
5 Any suggestions or ideas that a student may have will be presented
to the officers For example, the basketball nets on "the hill" are in
unplayable condition, but no one in the SGA was aware of this until a
few students informed me of this during my campaign. Matters of this
nature can be handled quickly if only you inform the student
Dvernment of the situations.
What is your view of the roie of the office you seek in regards to the
legislature?
Steve Sharpe
Having served in the legislature for three years, on Dudget
committees, as well as being speaker pro-tern, and also being
vice-chairman of the executive budget committee, I feel I have the
experience essential to the office of treasurer in his work with the
legislature. The treasure should be able to maintain the respect of the
legislature at all times.
Jim Watts
The treasurer must be able to work efficiently with the legislature.
He must be able to present the views of the executive council in
connection with all budgetary considerations. The treasurer must also
maintain a very close working relationship with the Appropriations
Committee for the purposes of expediting budgetary bills.
John Cooper
To be able to work together in order to get proper bills passed.
Furthermore, not to go beyond my power, staying within the limits of
the legislature.
What have been the major contributions you have made to your present
office?
Steve Sharpe
During the year, while working as a day student representative, I
have endeavored to present myself arc the SGA legislature through the
representative desires of the students. I have taken stands on very
controversial issues, but the decisions that I reached have always been in
the best interest of the students.
Jim Watts
As Chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the legislature this
year, I feel that my major contribution has been a keen interest in
insuring that the students receive direct benefits from their activity fee.
I feel that having served in this capacity, it has given me considerable
preparation in seeking the office of treasurer. Furthermore, I have
always been and will continue to be conservative when I help to
appropriate other people's money.
John Cooper
Presently I am junior class president. I have one duty to perform.
And that is to serve on the SGA executive council. I have missed on y
one meeting and that was because I was not informed of the meeting.

were able to send the "Pep Band" to North Carolina State University
and to several home games. (3) To present the student's ideas to the
SGA. (4) And to help the students help themselves.
What are the duties of the office you seek and how do you plan to
execute them?
Steve Sharpe
The duties of the treasurer, being one of the most powerful offices
in the SGA, are expressed in our constitution as well as through
statutory law. The duties are down in black and white, but the treasurer
must be able to go through correct channels in fulfilling his obligations
to all the agencies of the SGA.
Jim Watts
The main duty of the treasurer is the responsibility to the legislature
for handling budgets for the various student organizations. If elected I
hope to establish a relationship with the various organizations so that
each organization can be evaluated in regard to its needs for budgeting.
Only by a pleasant association with these organizations can the treasurer
fulfill his duties to the maximum.
John Cooper
My duty will be to balance the budgets and to spend only the
amount that is passed by the legislature. Also, not to write checks
without the approval of the legislature.
One of the largest disputes in the SGA this year has been over the
power of the Publications Board. What is your view of this dispute and
your opinions on solving it?
Steve Sharpe
There is a "fine line of distinction" that lies between the powers of
the legislature and Publications Board. The Publications Board is
composed of experts in the field of journalism and the Board, with their
expertise in journalism, should be able to make recommendations and
the recommendations should stand.
I feel the Publications Board should be given more power than it
presently has and this power should not be revoked by other bodies.
Jim Watts
This dispute should be given adequate consideration by both the
students and the administrative officials concerned. With the present
structure of the Publications Board I think it is too large in number to
operate efficiently. The duties of the Publication Board are to, let
contracts, approve positions and to set salaries. Because of the nature of
its duties, the Publications Board should not have voting members who
serve on any of the various publications. Instead, the board should be
comprised of students who are not serving in any capacity in the SGA
or on the publications. In this way I feel that fairer and more balanced
aecisions could be made in regards to salaries and contracts.

The SGA offers a means for stu
with the administration. The main objective
serve as a liason between students and the administration. Having
worked three years with the administration, I feel that I could continue
to work with the administration to help improve the cond.t.ons to, the
students. It is imperative that the SGA continue to maintain the respect
that the administration now has for it.
Jim Watts
I have nothing but praise for the administration in the way they
have worked with all facets of the SGA. They have repeatedly
demonstrated an open mind and an attentive ear to our problems and
our suggestions. East Carolina students aid indeed fortunate that we
have an administration who is sensitive to the suggestions of the student
body.
John Cooper
I definitely feel that we need their help from time to time. We must
work together to carry on our activities. Nothing can be accomplished if
we work against each other
Concerning the student apathy, what do you feel should be done to
interest the students in participating in voting, etc.?
Steve Sharpe
There is no easy way to decrease apathy. One person, such as the
treasurer, cannot decrease apathy even at ECU. Only the students
themselves can do this by taking an interest in the SGA.
The SGA's lecture series, entertainment, and even political activity
have all pointed toward the high ideals of the ECU student. Only the
high ideals of the students working together can alleviate this problem.
Jim Watts
I don't knowunless we could have go-go dancers at the polls and
free beer for everyone.
John Cooper
Concerning voting I feel there should be public speeches given by all
candidates to the entire student body. Also, a question and answer
period should be set by the SGA. These two ideas would familiarize the
students with the candidates. Concerning spirit, we need changes such as
ECU has done in acquiring Jerry McGee as head football coach and
winning teams. Also, various players that ECU has signed for the
upcoming year. More scholarship money should be given for sports. The
only way you climb to the top quickly is by winning. That is the way
other universities did it. ?m
Are there any changes you would propose in the SGA and what are
they?
Steve Sharpe
I have very concrete convictions about our SGA. These convictions
go back as far as my freshman year. When I entered EC as a freshman, I
pledged to myself that I would work for the students of EC and I have
worked for the students for three years. We have a strong student
povernment-one of the strongest and best in the nation and I feel that I
v ould become a hypocrite to not only myself, but to the students who
ove placed me in positions of responsibility if I ever, for one second,
.anged my convictions because of political influence. ECU'S strength is
in its students and to their betterment I am dedicated.
Jim Watts
I have two changes in mind. First, the student legislature should set
the penalties for any violation of the Honor Code or any of the laws
that it enacts. The various judicial bodies and the administration should
serve only in an advisory capacity in helping the legislature to set these
penalties. This is the method employed by the state government and the
Federal government. Second, the treasurer should publish in the
Fountainhead a monthly financial report of the SGA. This financial
report should include all disbursements to the various student
organizations as well as the exact amount of money received from
student activity fees. This report should also give details of how and for
what the student money is used.
John Cooper
Number one, to have a minority affairs committee.
Number two, to allow upper-class women the privilege of unlimited
hours.
Number three, more outdoor facilities, such as tennis courts and
basketball courts. And to add more indoor machines such as Foos-ball.
Number four, to force the administration to cut the price of the
vending machine merchandise.
Number five, I was given the information on how an out-of-state
university's SGA acquired operation of the food service. This resulted in
better quality of food and lower prices.
Number six, to appropriate more money to athletics.

PRESIDENT
LEN MANCIN
Fellow students:
It is not my intention to
present myself to the student
body as a candidate for SGA
President amid fancy, but
meaningless rhetoric. As
Speaker of the Legislature
was in the unique position of
being high enough within the
hierarchy of the SGA to see all
the inconsistencies, but not
quite high enough to do a thing
about them.
I am fed-up with a
"milk-toast" SGA and its

leadership.
To put it all in a nutshell, in
the past our SGA Presidents
have all suffered from acute
cases of the "governor's
syndrome They all
entertained visions of grandeur
of occupying the Governor's
Mansion in Raleigh. They all
were under the mistaken
impression that the SGA
Presidency is the big stepping
stone to that high office and
conducted themselves as such.
To put it very simply, the only
way the SGA will be
meaningful to the students is
when the students elect
officers who don't suffer from
this desease, but rather have
meaningful from the
administration. I think my
background best suits me for
this.
Thank You,
Len Mancini
Fellow Students:
As a candidate for Student
Government President, i have
tried to ask as many students
as possible exactly what they
would like to see their SGA do
and in what ways it could
better serve the students. This
is the ultimate purpose of any
student government-and in
many cases, our student
government has lost sight of
this fact. Every student should
feel that his stu lent
government is helping him and
making life easier for him at
college.

Fellow Students:
After serving as Jl. . ; Class

leadership and the ability to

used together in order to
benefit our SGA. My previous
experience in the SGA has
enabled me to gain a working
knowledge of the proper
channels and proceeding to go
through in order to get things
done. I am willing and, I feel,
able to give the kind of
leadership which your SGA
treasurer should give.

to communicate with his
fellow students, to understand
their problems and to be able
to find workable solutions to
them. If you will lend me your

SECRETARY
Fellow Students:
As a candidate for secretary
of the SGA, I fully realize that
the executive officers must
work long and hard to secure
these needed changes. The
secretary must continually be
aware of her responsibility for
the records and cor-
respondence so that she may
provide a smooth network of
exchange between the
executive and legislative
branches.
I pledge to work with the
honesty and candor that our
Student Government requires.

Fellow Students:
During the past two years I
have participated in both the
legislative and judical branches
of the Student Government.
My experience as a Day

included both chairman of the

of the committee to study the
East Carolinian. During this
time I also acted as temporary
Secretary of the SGA when she
was unable to attend meetings,
and I assisted her in her office
work when she was especially
busy. As vice chairman of
Women's Honor Council, I
have also become aquainted
with the Secretary's position of
the Executive Council.
After much consideration I

demanding, I will be able to
handle the job efficiently and I
am eagerly awaiting the chance
to become a member of the

I ask for your support of my

Traditionally, the duties of this

Unknown to many students,
the historian is also involved
with close work in connection
with the publicity. I would like
to see this aspect expanded: to
see a close liaison established
between the students and the
officers of the SGA. I think
that as historian I could
accomplish this. I personal y
am tired and frustrated with
the antics of some individuals
whose attempts to use the bb
as their own personal toy are
motivated by a childish desire
to "play politics"and amuse
themselves. The SGA is not

taken by the administration
point toward this conclusion.
First of all there was the
encouragement by Dr Jenkins
for ECU and other colleges to
make it easier for students at
community colleges and
technical schools to transfer to
four-year institutions. Dr.
Jenkins is forgetting the reason
that these schools were
initiated.
Everyone is not equally
talented and not equally
suitable to study at the same
level of education. The
technical schools were designed
for students to work with their
hands and to develop skills that
do not require intensive
thought.
In my opinion, the setting
up of the possibility that
students in these types of
schools can easily transfer to
institutions like ECU is cruel.
A great majority of these
students will "flunk out"
because they are not suited for
college level work.
If they were suited, they
surely would not have started
out in a technical school. Also
the community colleges were
created to take some of the
stress off the large,
state-supported institutions. In
encouraging these students to
transfer to ECU or other
colleges, this stress is being
replaced instead of removed.
The second recent step
taken by the administration
which points to this "factory
system ' was the lowering of
the General Education
requirements. No doubt this
move was made because of
Carolina's recent move to
lower its General College
requirements. However, there
is one large difference here.
Carolina has already made a
name for itself-a good name,
so she can afford to ease her
requirements. East Carolina has
also made a name for itself:
one would think that it would
be trying to improve its
reputation instead of offering
material to support it.
Perhaps this is just the
beginning of the lowering of
standards at ECU so that all
those students attending
technical schools who transfer
to ECU will find this university
no more difficult than their
previously attended institution.
It would seem that ECU's
administrators have lost their
sense of direction. Why did
they fight so vigorously for
university status if they want
to slide back into the "old
familiar groove" of turning out
degrees by assembly line
production? This current
situation brings to mind the
old clique: "What you are

Dear Editor:
The purpose of this letter is
to give response to the recent
Forum article by Yona Creech.
Mrs. Creech ascertains the
question, can I at twenty years
of age, a college student,
denounce my generation for
their imbecilic reactions to
life? I reply with an explicit,
no!
No one, much less a twenty
year old, college student has
the right to denounce a
generation. Perhaps Mrs.
Creech would consider
retracting the obvious
introductory appeal to
emotions. Even disregarding
the initial emotionalism of the
letter, the remainder is lacking
in critical thought.
Mrs. Creech appears to be in
despair when she states that
reality must be fought with
reality. By this does she mean
that bullets must be fought
with bullets? Or Mrs. Creech,
do you consider men to have
reached the state where
rational appeal no longer has

any practical effect upon his
waring brethren?
Mrs. Creech appears to be
harshly critical of this
generation's emotionalism and
idealism. But perhaps she
forgets that this country had
its philosophic beginnings in
the dreams of a few idealistic
thinkers. Mrs. Creech, I hope
to convey to you that idealism
has a degree of reality in itself.
It is the dream or vision that
exists in the minds of men
before the goal comes into
being. Perhaps I can better
clarify my point by example.
The aritst has a very real image
in his mind as to what he
would like to portray on
canvas. This image then takes
the form of empirical reality in
his final product.
In conclusion, Mrs. Creech
appears to be severely critical
of this nations draft-aged men,
and their seemingly indifferent
attitudes towards giving
militaristic support for "the
system Well I ask Mrs.
Creech, just what is sacred; the
system or men's lives? A
system is an inorganic,
inanimate abstraction of

writer, quite sacred.
Gary Blackwelder
Dear Editor:
Like a few hundred other
students I was enticed by the
misleading title: "Witchcraft,
'Voodoo and Cannibalism in
Africa to a substandard
lecture. What a disap-
pointment. I felt like the music
lover who goes to hear a
famous opera performance and
gets soap-opera instead.
The lecturer had three or
four simple ideas, but he
buried them under an
avalanche of words which
confused rather than clarified
his vague subject. It took him
forty minutes of rumbling to
put across those elementary
statements, which could have
been adaquately expressed in
ten. His foreign accent and
poor vocabulary could have
been easily overlooked by a
sympathetic college audience,
had he had something
substantial to say. Except for
one remark about his
broadminded approach to the
color problem, he had not.
The intellectual level was
geared to the average junior
highschool student, who still
enjoys storytelling hours. His
humor, save a few tiny sparkles
was anemic. He elaborated at
great length on a hunt in which
he boldly faced and killed a
lion with a single spear. Do you
believe it? I certainly do! If he
has the courage to stand up
before a university audience
and to deliver such a talk he
probably could scare a lion
away with witchcraft or
incantation, provided he had at
least a hazy idea of how to go
about performing it.
By the way, this seems to
me a fairly easy way to make
money. Following his example
I am planning a lecture tour of
colleges. The title of my first
discourse will be: "The Giant
Dwarfs, or New Evidence for
The Existence of Lapidoptera

My only problem is with
which Institute to start. Do
you suggest ECU, or because of
the highly scientific nature of
my dissertation should it be
Duke or Chapel Hill?

SGA candidates viewed
Tomorrow's SGA elections feature a wide
selection of candidates and a small selection of
competence.
One of the candidates for President cla.ms that
because he is a veteran and older than the other
candidate he is obviously better qualified for the
position.
This editor is a combat veteran of Vietnam,
serving with the 5th Special Forces Group, and I
can recall nothing in my training or experience
which would obviously qualify me for the position
of SGA President.
If this experience did in itself qualify me, then
it would also qualify the several hundred other
veterans on this campus.
The age factor may have more significance;
however, it would be on a level of greater
maturity-something I find sadly lacking in this
candidate.
The other candidate for President has presented
a much more sensible, rational approach to the
many-faceted problems of this office, and, in
addition, seems to be more concerned with the
interests of the students than in petty personality
conflicts.
For these reasons, Fountainhead supports Bob
VVhitley for the position of SGA President.
The second most important position in
question, that of SGA Treasurer, has three
candidates seeking election.
Sharpe has been concerned with the financial
aspects of student government for three years, and
has evidenced capable handling of these matters.
By contrast, the present chairman of the
appropriations committee, by virtue of the power
of his office, took it upon himself to make
judgements which greatly added to the general
erosion of student faith in their student
government.
The other candidate may have sound ideas, but
he lacks the necessary financial experience for this
obviously financial position.
Sharpe, therefore, receives the endorsement of
Fountainhead for the position of SGA Treasurer.
Post Office opens mail
The U.S. Post Office Department has quietly
issued new regulations authorizing the opening of
mail from overseas. Only mail addressed to
ambassadors and high government officials is
exempt from the new policy.
This new regulation was published in the federal
register several weeks ago and has gone relatively
unnoticed. It has been reported that other rules
requiring the opening of mail are being drafted.
Martin Wolf, a spokesman for the Post Office
Department, says the regulations were necessitated
by the flow of hard core pornography from
overseas.
Regulations of this nature may or may not be
necessary, but something is definitely wrong if
they can be quietly instated without benefit of
any type of specific congressional action.
Now it seems that not only does the President
of the United States have the power to engage this
nation in a war without a specific Congressional
declaration of war, but, without specific
Congressional approval, the Post Office has the
power to regulate what a U.S. citizen may receive.

Dear Editor,
I thought you might be
interested to learn that the
ECU admissions committee
makes decisions on the basis of
technicalities they cannot
explain
Specifically, I was refused
admission to ECU because the
last college I attended on a full
time basis was not a resident
college; hence my application
was turned down.
This explanation of their
action would be acceptable, I
suppose, if the admissions
committee could explain why
the previous college had to
have a resident campus.
On the contrary, it was
explained to me by JohnAyers
Jr. that he could think of no
reason for the rule, and
ventured the probable state of
affairs: that I would find no
reason why a transfer student
must come from a resident
campus.
Is dormitory life supposed
to effectively erradicate any
individuality the student might
have expressed beforehand?
I appeal to you to find
someone on the East Carolina
University campus who can
explain to me how the quality
of education is affected by the
lack of dormitory living.
If it is of importance, the
school in question was the
University of Maryland night
school extension in Wiesbaden,
Germany; and my draft board
thought enough of the school
to give me a 2-S deferrment.
Dear Editor:
Some recent actions by the
administrators of East Carolina
University answer the
persistent question "what is a
regional university?" It seems
that the new trends at ttu
point to a future plan ?
