talk with them, but would meet
them on the Mall.
At first the group protested,
and demanded that Jenkins
come to them. However, after
some discussion, the leaders
decided that the goal of
lowering the flag must be
accomplished.
The crowd then gathered on
the Mall, where Jenkins was
waiting, surrounded by police,
newsmen and photographers.
The students waited impatiently
for the amplification system to
be set up. shouting, singing or
just sitting in the hot sun.
JENKINS COMMENTS
When it was finally ready.
Jenkins stepped up to the
podium to speak.
?"Now remember he said,
"you invited me to come and
talk with you. and let me
remind you that it takes no guts
whatsoever to yell out in a
crowd. Any coward can do
that
"It was my understanding
that I do not have the authority
to have the flag lowered on this
campus he continued. 1 got
that from our Governor this
morning and he told me that
only the President of the United
States has that authority.
"Now 1 did promise that after
this is over I will call the
Governor and see if there's any
arrangement that can be made
foi us to do that. That's all that
I can do
URGENT QUESTION
He continued. "That young
people should regard the
question as urgent is highly
understandable for they are
called upon to do the fighting
and also to do the dying
Jenkins added that over half
of the world population vas
born after 1945. and thai the
war was brought on by anothei
generation than this one.
He cited a quote from
Secretary General of the United
Nations U Thant. which he felt
had meaning to young people
today:
"The members of the UN
have perhaps 10 years left in
which to subordinate theii
ancient quarrels and launch a
global partnership to curb the
arms race, to improve the
human environment and to
diffuse the population explosion
and to supply the required
momentum to world
development efforts
CHALLENGE
He challenged the youth of
America to devise a solution for
this "horrible problem
"You are the generation
rising to take over the control of
this land; to become whether

sBy JOHN KEATON JACKSON
In the barnyard of a restored
Plantation near Enfield a rooster
?rantically crows till noon.
He is trying to awaken his
latter, E C U
fcuthor-in-rcsidence, Ovid
Williams Pierce.
He should have learned long
ago that no one rushes Ovid
Pierce.
Without the frantic haste that
now often seems synonymous
with success. Pierce has
managed to excel as a teacher, a
leader of youth and an award
winning novelist.
A native of Weldon, N. C, he
attended Duke University,
where his literary interest
j developed as editor of The
Archive, the school literary
,ournal. While at Duke, he was a
member oi' Phi Beta Kappa and
Kappa Alpha Order.
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
He continued his education at
arvard University, receiving a
master's degree in English. After
graduate school he served as a
counterintelligence army officer
in the Caribbean during World
War 11.
Following the war. Pierce
began his teaching career. For
the next 10 years he taught at
Southern Methodist University
and Tulane University.
Returning to North Carolina
in 1956, he joined the ECU
faculty, where he presently
teaches honor courses in
creative writing and American
literature.
A recent editorial in the
Greenville Daily Reflector
praised Pierce saying. "Ovid
pierce has inspired hundreds of
young East Carolina students
during his years on the faculty
here , .
On weekends he retires to his
350-acre farm near Enfield
where he writes and entertains
friends. His beautiful
two-storied home there has a
library containing one of the
few complete sets of the U. S.
Government Civil War Records.
Having been adviser of the
Greenville chapter of Kappa
Alpha Order since 1958. he is
seldom without company at the
farm, as his "boys" are
continually dropping in to enjoy
the relaxing atmosphere of a
weekend in the country.

Novelist shows heritage
rich in southern tradition
Thursday. May 7.1970. Fountainhead, Page
(continued from page 5)
Known as "Doc' to the
Kappa Alphas, he is a "father
away from home" who is never
toobusy to help and advise. Last
summer his services to youth
were officially recogni.cd when
he was awarded KA's highest
h onor, The Knight
Commander's Accolade.
Named after a young
Confederate soldier killed in the
Battle of Gettysburg Pierce's
heritage is rich with southern
tradition. His novels reflect this
background portraying the
sadly heroic efforts of the
post-bellum south to salvage a
I hey loved.
To avoid the stereotypes
plaguing many southern writers,
he spent five years writing and
revising his first novel. 'The
Plantation" (1953).
This effort was rewarded
when the novel, enthusiastically
praised for its style and grace,
received the Sir Walter Raleigh
Award for outstanding fiction in
North Carolina.
"On a Lonsome Porch his
second novel, published in 1960,
also received this award. Several
ol his short stories have appeared
in the "Southwest Review "
One article, entitled "North
Carolina was written for
Holiday Magazine and was later
included in the "American
Panorama
LATEST NOVEL
Pierces latest novel. "The
Devil's Half (1968), received
ecstatic literary acclaim,
winning for him the coveted
North Carolina Award for
literary achievement.
Orville Prescott New York
Times critic, said of this novel:
This is the best novel I have
read in many months. It is
beautiful, moving and sad with
all the dramatic intensity of
human grief and tragedy and all
the poetry of language and
feeling which so rarely gets into
fiction today. "
Pach of Pierce's novels
required five years of writing
and revision to complete. Few
people today can find time for
such extended efforts, and
maybe this is why few people
have succeeded as he has.

'Putney Swope'
is pandemonium
OVlD WILLIAMS PIERCE, ECU author in-residence,
relaxes at his 350-acre farm near Enfield.
By SUSAN BRIDGES
Putney Swope, A Robert Downey
production. At the State Theatre.
Wh.it happens when a Negro
becomes president ol a large
advertising agency? It happens
to Putney Swope.
The result? Pandemonium,
gross profit, and a general
procession of the absurd. Add a
little black-white humor and
presto a new creation
Robert Downey's brainstorm
is obviously a low-budget film,
but he proves indeed that
capital holds no reins on
creativity.
Not only are the
iniprovisational scenes superb,
but there's art in them
chaiacters. Putney is
indescribably Putney, and his
cool is unchallenged.
Surrounding him, there is a
montage of faces and features
that Downey uses surprisingly
well throughout the movie.
NO AMATEUR
The producer is no amateur
in his approach to the hilarious.
The most entertaining segments
of the film are the commercials
by the Truth and Soul
advertising agency.
If skeptics don't laugh when
Miss Redneck New Jersey gets a
pie in the face, the romantic
pimple cream ad. with white
teeny-bopper and Negro beau, is
sure to get them.
The technique of black and
white in color is very effective
when integrated with the
technique ol colors in black and
white. It is this kind of contrast
that makes the film most

interesting.
And. of course there are
many quite obvious (and some
no quite so obvious) symbols
involved. Witness Putney

he addresses the multitude
However, truth is Putney's
thing, and he's after sincere
people. In the end he is alone, as
are all good heroes; so. packing
his money bag. he deserts the
business.
PARADE OF INSANITY
Only a few weak points peek
from this parade of insanity.
The camera angles are
sometimes crude, and the staged
"acting" is somewhat less than
convincing. One can blame these
faults solely on experimental
enlightenment.
But experience is learning,
and who can criticize
education In any light.
Downey has risen from
underground to commercial
theater. Whether he will remain
there is a question of ambition
and practice. The talent is
certainly there.

long awaited

By BEN RUNKLE
John B. Sebastian, John B
Sebastian (Reprise RS6379).
John Sebastians solo album
is here. Finally. Neatly two
years in the making, this record
was talked about and hinted
about ever since his departure
from the Lovin' Spoonful.
His voice and his songs w

The music here is not really
too much different from the
kind of thing he was doing
toward the end of his career
with the Lovnf Spoonful. In
fact, most of the innovations
have to do with trying new
instruments: the harmonium.

Hi
By SUE BOWERMASTER
Surely you've seen hei
wandering around campus. She
has short blonde hair, wears a
fringe jacket blue jeans, and
read white and blue sneakers.
This in itself is interesting but
there is a more distincitve
quality about her: she usually
has a million or so dogs
following her
Often have I been trampled.
while reclining on the Mall. by a
horde o( dogs answering her
call. Every time I hear a whistle,
or a female voice crying ?'Other

UNUSUAL LEASH
One day. as I was patting this
particular dog on the head. 1
heard her call him from the
opposite end of the Mall. I was
immediatel) bereft of his
presence. Outside the CU, 1
heard her ask the dog she calls
Copper Dog if he would like to
go to Biology with her. He said
ok. as long as evolution was not
the topic for the day. and they
trotted merrily off together.
She owns a most unusu.i
leash. She lets the fringers of her
lefl hand dangle invitingly, and
the dog chews her fingers as
thev walk along She says the
slopp hand is worth the good
company. (That has the makings
of a good adage )
She once bought a box ol dog
biscuits to keep a few in a bag
in her pocket for her animal
friends. She soon found that
thev seldom ate the presents
unless she sat with them. If she
continued on her way to class.
thev would drop the biscuit and
follow her. She told them about
the starving dogs in Biafra. but
thev were oblivious to the
scene.
FAVORITES
Her favorite dogs are.

who is. again: and a mangy little
puppy named Little One. who
needed a friend very badly.
There are countless others.
And. incredibly, they all answer
to the names she has given
them You have to see it to
believe it to phrase a coin.
JEALOUSY
She says she has a problem
with jealousy among her dogs. If
Good Dog Copper Dog. and
Other Dog all come bouncing up
at the same time, the first one
she pets gets bitten by the other
two. She does not allow her
dogs to be selfish, however.
When she gives a dog a stick, he
proudly carries it around in his
mouth. This means, to his peers,
that he is cool.
But she has invented the
two-dog-stick It is longer than
the run-of-the-mill status
symbol, and each dog takes an
end. In this manner, they share
the coolness.
A few months ago. she was
adopted by an 18-hands-high
tan-and-white dog. Perhaps
?'small pony" would be a more
accurate description. She named
him Dog. for fear of offending
him with a more apt name. He
followed her everywhere, as the
saying goes.
DOG ATTENDS CLASSES
There was no way to keep
him out of her classes;
everytime a student would open
the door to the building she was
in. he could be relied upon to be
in her class as soon as he could
find the room number. His
favorite class was English, which
was convenient, since this is her
major.
He was partial to the Pamlico
room, and it was impossible to
lure him with hot dogs from his
place at her feet.
'is this your dog?"
'No. he's not my dog
?Well, he has to leave
regulations.
"OK, YOU take him out.
a?d the dog would growl
menacingly, sensing that the
conversation was about him. He
would not be gone long, though;
the moment a student would
open the door she would have a
dog again.
After a week of this, she was
compelled by her purse to
return the dog to his owner. She
simply could not afford to feed
a beast that huge: he ate two
cans of dog food a day. at
minimum. She obtained the
owner's name from the pound,
and. when the man came to
retrieve his pet Dog would not
follow his master to his car. She
had to lead him there, on her

From the sideline:
A debt
of gratitude
By DONALD TRAUSNECK
With spring graduation less than three weeks away, it's time to
reflect upon the accomplishments of 5i of our seniors who have
represented East Carolina on the various fields of athletics.
Of these 51 seniors, eight were represented in the 1970 edition of
Outstanding Athletes in America. They are Butch Colson and Roger
Bost in football, Jim Modlin in basketball, Stu Garrett and Skip
Taylor in baseball, Bill Ransome in tennis, Vern Tyson in golf and
Tim Ellenberger in wrestling.
Garrett was a two-sport man. In addition to being a member of
the Pirate baseball team which is seeking the conference
championship this weekend, he was a star in football.
Colson has set many rushing records for East Carolina in his
three-year career. Other seniors who will be missed from the
football team are Danny Wilmer, Phil Bilodeau, Jamie Louis, George
WheHer, Mike Boaz, Tom Bullock, Dwight Flanagan, Mike McGuirk,
Bill Wightman and Paul Weathersbee.
WRESTLING SQUAD LOSES EIGHT PERFORMERS
The wrestling team, which finished second in the conference, will
lose many fine performers this year. The Ellenberger brothers, Tom
and Tim, as well as Stan Bastian, Sam McDowell and Bob Jaronczyk
are graduating.
Jerry Trachtenberg, Clifton Bernard and Sandy Smith complete
the list of grapplers that will be absent from John Welborn's squad
next year. However, the coach is in the process of a recruiting
program which he hopes will fill the gap.
The Southern Conference champion swimming squad, coached
by Ray Scharf loses only four members through graduation. These
are Bill Lafferty, Dave Phillips, Steve Weissman and team captain
Ken Hungate.
In addition, divers Bob Baird, the conference champion in both
diving events, and Sonny Culbreth are seniors.
Modlin became the first player ever to score 1000 points for the
Pirates in a three-year varsity career.Only a few weeks later, Tom
Miller joined him in that distinct niche in Pirate athletic history.
These two, along with Lyn Green, will graduate this year.
VOSS ONLY SENIOR ON TRACK SQUAD
There are not very many trackmen that can be mentioned here
for only one Ken Voss who has competed in cross-country as
well will be lost to the team through graduation. Paige Davis, a
senior who suffered a leg injury during the indoor season, has
another year of varsity eligibiltiy.
Jay Cuthbert, who led the soccer team in assists with five, and
Barry Sellars leave East Carolina after completing fine athletic
careers for the Bucs.
Skip Taylor, Dennis Vick and Dave Shields will try to end their
years in Pirate baseball this weekend when they travel to Fort
Eustis, Va to take on George Washington for the Southern
Conference title. A win for them Saturday would be a fine capping
for their brilliant college careers.
Randy Anderson, Dave Hayes and David Lord have been
standouts for the Pirate lacrosse team all year in this, its first year ot
varsity competition, and one must not forget Dick Folgle and Gary
McCulloch. McCulloch led the team in scoring going into yesterday s
season finale at Randolph-Macon.

C o n f e i e n c c baseball
championship.
The final pairing was
determined Tuesday afternoon
when the Colonials split a

Mary, winning the first game,
3-2. before dropping the
nightcap, 3-1.
The split left the Colonials
one-half game in front of 'he
Indians and gave them the
Northern Division
championship.
BUCS CAPTURE CROWN
The Bucs had captured the
Southern Division crown
Saturday when they split a
doubleheadcr with Davidson,
winning. 4-1. and then losing,
4-3.
East Carolina will take a 16-10
record into the championship
series. The First game will be
played in Ft. Eustis, Va Friday
night at 7:30.
The teams square off again
Saturday afternoon at 2. A third
game, if necessary in the best
two-of-three series, will be
played Saturday night at 7:30.
The Pirates bring one of the
best pitching staffs in the nation
into the series.
1.55 ERA
Although the hitting at times
has been below par. East
Carolina pitchers have posted a
combined staff ERA of 1.55.
Ron Hastings, ace of the mound
staff, leads the conference and is
third in the nation with an ERA
of 0.45.
Hastings has allowed but
three r-ns in 60 innings while
coasting to a 7-1 won-lost
record. He will start the first
ga ne for coach Earl Smith's
forces.
Slated to go in the second
game for the Bucs will be Sonny
Robinson (3-2). Ha! Baird (4-3)
will start the third game, if
necessary.
Football club planned
East Carolina is one of several
schools currently in the process
of organizing a football club to
compete with other schools in
the area.
The club is open to anyone
who is interested in playing
contact football, yet is unable
or unwilling to put in the
amount of time it takes to play
on the varsity.
Although arrangements have
not been completed, it is
anticipated thai the club will be
organized similar to the clubs at
such campuses as Georgetown
Universit).
About six other schools,
including Carolina. Duke. State,
Wake Forest, and Western
Carolina, are organizing a similar
program with the intention of
competing in a state-wide club
football league.

Coach Terry Chalk is
moderately optimistic about his

feels that the Bucs are better
than their record indicates and
that they may surprise some
people up there.
The strongest opposition for
the Bucs is expected to come

IMPROPER RIGGING
Chalk discovered last week
that the varsity shell had been
improperly rigged in previous
races. This necessitated the
complex task of re-rigging the
shell which was just barely
completed in time for iast
Saturday's race.
The Bucs lost that race to
Virginia Commonwealth and
there is no doubt in Chalk's
mind that not being able to
practice with the new rigging
had a lot to do with the defeat.
This will be the first year East
Carolina is competing in the
event as a member of the Dad
Vail Rowing Association, its
sponsor. Previously, the Bucs
had only been invited guests.
TOP TWO IN FINALS
The regatta, held annually in
early May, lasts for two days.
Preliminary heats will be held
on Friday and a shell must
finish third or better in a field
of six to advance. The top two
crews from each heat are
selected to row in the finals
Saturday.
The top award is the varsity
trophy. A prize is also awarded
for the most total points earned
in freshman, junior varsity, and
varsity races. The Bucs only
have a varsity shell entered.
Netters fifth
Graham Felton and Mike
Grady scored first round
victories and led the Pirates to a
fifth place finish in the
Southern Conference tennis
tournament Friday.

Dear Editor:
Bravo! Another fence is being
built.
As I sit and listen to the
pounding hammers constructing
a fence behind this immortal
edifice descriptively entitled
New Dorm C, I wonder about
the function of the new fence,
ould it be correct to assume
that fence is to keep the bathing
beauties from running pell mell
through Georgetown? To
obstruct the view of casual
passers-by? To deter potential
sex maniacs who happen to
wander by these sunny
afternoons? Or is it merely to
give us something new to
stumble into lat at night while
enjoying an inebriated state of
mind?
Why? This is my suggestion:
Build some steps down the hill
and sow grass on either side of
said steps. At least this might
possibly prevent erosion of the
dormitory's foundation. I'd
rather be stared at than have the
building fall on me.

Dear Editor:
We are fed up with the letter
in the May fourth issue of the
Fountainhead. We attended the
street dance, and just because
we weren't out there cuttin'
some asphalt doesn't mean we
didn't enjoy it. Some people can
grove without being in perpetual
motion. We certainly hope we
didn't offend you by not doing
your "thing" which was, of
course, the only Patriotic,
Constitutional, Unapathetic,
and "Cool" thing to do. Don't
worry Leeson, we had better
things to stare at like the Liquid

Dear Editor:
The action of Wednesday,
May 6. is deplorable. It was an
action that is ill considered to
say the least.
Imagine, if you will, that you
arc a weekend soldier short
on training: one of a hundred
surrounded by three to four
thousand angry students.
You may remember the
brawls that broke out in
Berkeley, Chicago, or L.A. and
now you arc potentially in the
same position.
Then someone, whether a
sniper or a wise guy with a
blank gun, fires. A trained Army
man would probably hold his
fire, but a raw. scared kid (no
older than you) will fire.
This is one possible
explanation: indeed the
probable explanation of the
deaths. To term this act murder
with no proof is insane.
The just man would wait for
the evidence to be presented
and the ruling of an
investigation committee.
There is no excuse for this
type of crap. Too many people
in America today act first and
think later and in doing so are
no better than the soldiers that
fired into the crowd at Kent
State University.
There is nothing wrong with
expanded military operations in
Southeast Asia exceeding his
aut ho1 i t y. Conccining
widespread criticism, he has
admitted that he is not worried
about public opinion because he
is justified if things turn out
right in the end. If?
The thinking people of the
nation have shown that they
recognize Mr. Nixon's insanity-
Students at the University of
Maryland, Princeton, and the
University of Pennsylvania have
shown their opposition in the
form of student strikes. These
are not the actions of scattered
student rebels. These strikes are
sponsored by the student
governments.
Senator Gore of Tennessee
calls Mr. Nixons move a cause
for "an impending
constitutional crisis A group
of faculty members at Columbia
University are urging New York
senators to reverse the
president's action as soon as
possible.
Throughout the nation,
students and "adults" are
expressing their opposition.
We cannot sit here in
Greenville, sheltered by the
Carolina pines from the foulness
of Washington government and
not see the impending disaster.
What does our SGA have to say?
Congress moves

the peaceful protest of the so I was once told we had the
called expansion of the war. strongest student government in
These demonstrations, however,
to protest the deaths in Ohio
and calling it murder before the
trial is morally the same as
lynching.
It is such actions as this that
have made more and more
people shun the label "liberal
and move toward the areas of
true peace and justice. Rally

Dear Editor:
It is apparent that President
Nixon has betrayed the people
of the United States! He has
the nation.) Can the students
think farther than street dances
and beach weekends?
Richard Nixon has
committed a crime against his
nation; he has committed an act
which is grounds for
impeachment.
I am asking the students of
East Carolina to look and see
what is going on, probably
against your personal
opposition. Go to Washington
and express yourself. Go to
Raleigh and tell your
representatives. At least, write
letters to your Congressmen.
Pleasedo it before 1984.

Editors Note: The following was
received by the editor in the
form of a telegram last night.
We share the sense of outrage
which you and other Americans
feel over the war in Southeast
Asia. The recent invasion of
Cambodia and the resumption
of bombing of North Vietnam
are only the latest in a long
series of actions that mean more
anguish and destruction on all
sides.
We also share your sense of
frustration in seeking to halt
this endless war and senseless
policy. We believe it is time
Congress played the role
assigned it by the constitution
in determining our involvement
in military adventures abroad.
This leadership role is
admittedly long overdue.
This absence of leadership has
had tragic results. We are
shocked and grieved by the
tragedy that occurred at Kent
State on Monday. We share a
sense of guilt because of the
lack of alternatives provided by
the Congress of the United
States thus far. We hope our
present effort will provide a
meaningful alternative.
We urge you to direct your
efforts to supporting
Congressional action to cut off
further funds for Southeast Asia
except for the purpose of
withdrawing troops safely and
systematically, the exchange of
prisoners, and asylum for
Vietnamese who might feel
threatened by our withdrawal.
This will come to a vote,
probably within 30 days, when
there will be an official roll call
on this amendment requiring
every Senator to go on record
for or against continued funding
of the war. Similar efforts are
underway in the House of
Representatives.
Will you do all in your power
to generate public support for a
victorious roll call to end the
war? Your letters, phone calls,
petitions and personal visits to
your Senators and Congressmen
are urgently needed now and
during the next three or four
crucial weeks.
Above all. please make it
known that acts of violence will
be manipulated to the detriment
of our cause, and will sabotage
this initiative for peace.

Belly button
used as stamp
ASPEN. COLO. (AP) Some
people gaze at their navels to
achieve tranquility. but Paul
Soldner puts his belly button to
work.
The potter and teacher has
made a plaster of Paris cast of
his navel and stamps the
signature into the bottom of his
pots.
Soldner will appear on the
special. "With These Hands: The
Rebirth of the American
Craftsman " to be televised on
May 8 which will explore the
life and work of eight American
artists.
"One day 1 thought. 'Why do
you always stamp clay?' It's an
identification, that's all
"So why not use something
that's very personally yours, in
this case, my belly button?"
Soldner does not limit his
signatures to navels. He also uses
an animal bone and a horse's
tooth.
Induction set
Three students will be
inducted this quarter into Phi
Sigma Tau, national honor
society in philosophy.
They are Catherine Council.
Mary Carolyn Faulkner and
Dennis Huntley.
