president, vice president, and
treasurer to rule by executive
decree, as well as to carry out
administrative functions.
Phil Dixon, vice president has
been working on programs to
increase school spirit.
I wo accomplishments toward
this goal are the purchase ol a
cannon foi football games, and
the construction of a billboard
displaying the football schedule
ol the ECU lighting Pirates.
PREPARATIONS
Dixon has been interviewing
freshman girls lor the freshman
cheei leading squad. More than
80 girls have been interviewed.
Arrangements were made to
send the varsity cheerleaders to
a summer workshop at Pfeiffer
College, where schools from all
ovei the south gathei to
exchange new ideas.
Victory bells, buttons,
badges, bumper stickers,
posters, and banners displaying
"Pirate Power" and "Purple
Pride" have been purchased to
sell to the students this fall.
A newly organized pep band
will perform at this season's
basketball games in colored
uniforms.
Another addition for
basketball season will be eight
pom pom gnls doing dance
routines. Ovei 30 gii Is have been
interviewed foi these positions.
Foi Homeoming, letters have
been sent to ovei 2 b md

festivities.
NEWOFFICE
Dixon plans to have charter
bus service for students so they
may attend away games this fall.
Bob Whitley. President, and
Steve Sharp. Treasurer, handled
the administrative functions ol
the SGA during the summer.
A new office has been set up
to handle the rental ol
refrigerators to dorm students.
1 his program began lust
session and will continue during
the comming school year.
Whitley and Sharp have
drawn up three new resolutions
for the SGA. one of which is
already in effect.
NEW BILLS
Because many students have
not repaid their Emergency
Student loans, this bill will
limit loans in the future to
students who have not been
delinquent in repayment.
The other tow bills will be
considered by the legislature
this fall. One will establish a
Women's Residence Council

DISCOUNT PROGRAM
Negotiations are now in
progress foi a Student Discount
program with the Greenville
merchants.
At present the Record Bar. a
gas station, and two laundries
have consented to participate.
This program will mean that
students can purchase a

Spanish women win bikini war
, vt ��� ic o-nrrvinp
By FENTONWHEELER
MADRID (AP) This may
be the year Spanish women
finally win their bikini war.
Well, almost.
It"s not that there is any law
against the scanty swimsuits.
but a segment of Spanish
society looks down on the idea.
There are also swimming
areas where bathers are
segregated by sex and bikinis or
any two-piece suits are flatly
prohibited.
"I would say bikini sales are
up at least 70 per cent this
year says Juan Andujar.

Puerta Del Sol.
His customers hardly are the
type to haunt Madrid's chic
shops looking for European
fashions. He has tennis shoes in
his display window. He also has
swimsuits. although not bikinis,
in the window.
SATISFIES RULES
He displays a daringly cut.
single-piece suit. This obviously
is to satisfy the rules of
establishments that prohibit
two-piece suits. It also alerts
potential customers that there is
something a bit more swinging
inside.
Why the bikini upsurge
�'Because the censorship is
over says Andujar. He is
referring to a widely publicized
court ruling earlier this year that
said bikinis and two-pieeers are
not immoral at swimming areas
where they arc the custom.

A grant of $76,029 has been
awarded to the ECU School of
Education for the continuation
of its traineeship program in
rehabilitation counseling.
The award, increased over last
year's award by more than
$2,000 was given to the East
Carolina program by the U.S.
Social and Rehabilitation
Service, an agency of the federal
government.
This is the fourth year that
ECU has received the grant.
The rehabilitation counseling
traineeship program is designed
to educate students at the
master's degree level to work in
the field of rehabilitation
counseling.
TRAINING PROGRAM
Specifically.it trains them for
work with the N.C. Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation, a
state agency which works for
the betterment of conditions for
physically and mentally
handicapped persons in North
Carolina.
According to Dr. Sheldon
Downes. director of the ECU
program the new award will
support 25 students who will
hold traineeships in the
Geology article
Dr. B.A. Bishop of the
Geology Department has
published an article in a national
geology journal.
The article entitled
-Stratigraphy of the Sierra de
Piachos and Vicinity, Nuevo
Leon. Mexico is the result oi
several months' study.
It appears in the July issue of
the American Association ot
Petroleum Geologist Bulletin.
Preparation tor the work
involved a detailed study of
approxiamately 5.000 feet of
Cretaceous rock strata in the
Sierra de Picachos, a range of
mountains situated 50 miles
northeast of Monterrey.
Bishop spent several months
n the field collecting
stratigraphic data and doing
geologic mapping.
two-year program for the
academic year 1970-71.
While earning master's
degrees in rehabilitation
counseling, the students attend
classes, consisting of both
theoretical and practicum
courses.
OPEN TO STUDENTS
During the fifth quarter of
the traineeship program, the
students hold counseling
internships in various
rehabilitation agencies in North
Carolina.
Some students will write a
master's thesis as well.
The East Carolina traineeship
program in rehabilitation
counseling is open to students
from all disciplines, although
those whose undergraduate
major fields were psychology or
sociology are preferred.
Downes noted that of the
approximately 70 graduate
schools in the nation which have
similar programs, many received
lowered grants this year, while
that of East Carolina was
significantly increased.
REHABILITATION COMPLEX
Of the awarded sum. Downes
said: "We are extremely pleased
with the grant. It will enable us
to meet the needs of the state
for rehabilitation counselors.
He also pointed out that
Greenville is rapidly becoming a
"rehabilitation complex
It is the location of a
sheltered workshop, a district
office, a mental health clinic, an
alcoholic rehabilitation center
for the severely physically
handicapped.
"We expect that Greenville
will bee ome quite well known
in rehabilitation circles because
of the complex of rehabilitation
services that we have here, he
said.
The ECU rehabilitation
counseling program is
conducted under the auspices ol
the School of Education m
cooperation with the programs

By FRANCEINE PERRY
Who travels in Eruope for
six weeks, conferring with
nearly 50 important political
leaders, enjoying the world's
great capitals and meeting
interesting people from halt a
doen foreign countries all for
a mere S750?
So far as is known, only one
group does exactly this IX
ECU students enrolled in
Political Science 233 (Political
Processes in Western Europe)
and their professor. Dr. Hans
lndorf.
The course a concentrated
first-hand study-analysis of
European politics is an
innovation in American
education. No other college or
university has such a program.
SIDE EFFECTS
This is the third year that
ECU has offered the
course-tour, and as a result of
this. ECU has become quite
well-known among- European
political institutions a highly
gratifying side-effect.
Ihe ulea behind the course.
says Dr. lndorf, is to allow the
students to escape the
textbook and "really get
involved" in the actual
processes ol government.
�"1 here is a need in oui field,
and m others too. to go out
and ask questions of the people
who make things happen, it is
more stimulating and more
informative than merel)
leading about them he
explained.
FIELD RESEARCH
I he knowledge gained by
the students is primarily the
product of then "field
i e s e a r c h ' i n t e r v i e w s
observation and reading the
publications o' various
institutions concerned with the
European political situation.
Since the information is
mostly available from direct
confrontation with government
personnel, the students must
learn to take notes rapidly, ask
pertinent questions and
generally be on guard foi
important tacts.
The ECU group interviews a
variety o political notables,
such as government advisers,
members o parliaments and
ol her legislative assemblies,
diplomats, news commentators,
laboi leaders, political part)
officials and officers ol student
organizations.
This summers course-tour
involved personal contact with
the Swedish Vice-Consul in
Germany, an economic advisor
to the Danish Trade Union
Federation, officials of all lour
of Britain's political parties and
a member of the central
committee of the French
Communist party.
Information acquired from
the interviews and other f mis
of field research is incorporated
into a comprehensive term
paper concerned with a specific
topic which each student must
complete by the beginning of
the fall quarter.
And, at intervals during the
trip, the students take written
examinations on their
background reading, give oral
progress reports on their
research projects, hear lectures
by their professor and visit
libraries.
GOOD RESPONSE
Overseas response to out
requests for interviews and
general cooperation is quite
i o o d s a s lndorf.
"Governmental and political
organizations in Europe seem
very sympathetic to students.
they are actually delighted to
talk w ith us.
Ihe Id group has
risinelv little trouble

the student riots in Paris.
noted lndorf. "In 1
were in Berlin during the tense
nme betore the German
elections, when the right-wing
neo-Nazi party was gaming
strength "
EFFECT OF TRIP
This year the group was in
England when Edward Heath s
neW Conservative government
won despite overwhelming
conjecture by the opinion polls
that the Laboui pau
be re-elected. Only the pollsters
who predicted that the Tories
would win granted the group
an interview.
The effect of the trip on the
students is significant, and
often leads to major changes in
their professional objectives.
Several students, in their
post-tour questionnaiies. have
stated that as a result of their
European experiences, they
wish to go into careers which
involve living or traveling
abroad.
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES
Unanimously, they want to
go back, some day. somehow.
The day-to-day events of the
tour are recorded in a
"European diary an annual
production compiled from
personal impressions ol the
students.
It gives an informal account
af the various activities of the
tour, ranging from a
drink-and-song test in a
German Biergarten to a surprise
birthday party for lndorl to a
ferry ride from Calais to the
White Cliffs ol Dover.
Obviously, the educational
value of the trip is not'
confined to opportunities ol
studying European government.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
lndorl emphasizes the tact
that the group makes a point
� tr) ing to know the people
� the countries the) v
The) stay at inns and at
student hostels rathei than
hotels, and ihev always
use public transportation.
-The tout is a 24-hour
education says lndorf "Even
sitting at a table in one ol the
sidewalk cafes in Paris, oi going
in the theater, or attending a
meeting of fur op can
students all is a learning
experience.
I he P rogram is the
His field ol special study is
comparative government, and
he has been associated with
such organizations as die
Institute of International
Education in New York.
EFFECT OF TRAVEl
lndorf is especially aware ol
the sophisticating, broadening
effect of travel.
Having traveled widely
throughout Europe, Ksia. and
Africa, he is well qualified to
observe how exposure to new
places, new people and new
customs influences his class lor
the better.
He believes that the trip
stimulates the students to learn
more in their college course
work upon returning, and that
it certainly increases their
understanding of foreign people
and their ideologies.
When the students meet
Communists abroad he
laughs, "the) are often quite
surprised to find that they are
not devils at all. but quite
ordinary, and even sometimes
more bourgeois than we are.

The problem of coping with

Commission recommends
liberal pornography laws
Monday. August 17.1970. Founlainhead. Page 7

THROUGH MY EYE
.��:
WASHINGTON (AP) The
President's Commission of
pornography reportedly is
sticking to its recommendations
for liberalized obscenity laws
despite President Nixon's
warning he would oppose them.
The 18-member commission
took no final votes at meetings
Tuesday and Wednesday,
sources said, but continued to
edit its draft report without
making substantial changes.
The major draft
recommendations are repeal of
all US. laws against showing
and selling pornographic films,
books and other erotica to
adults, and enactment of laws
protecting children from
exposure to such material.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations, which
would make U.S. laws nearly as
liberal as Denmark's are based
on a tentative finding that
pornography does not cause sex
crimes and is not harmful to
children.
The White House said
Tuesday "it is safe to predict"
President Nixon would oppose
such recommendations.
At the same time, the White
House washed its hands of the
draft report and press secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler pointed out
that the commission members
had been appointed by former
President Lyndon B. Johnson,
not Nixon.
The draft report recommends
protection of adults from forced
exposure to pornography with
laws against its public displav
and use in unsolicited mail
advertisements.
The report suggests repeal of
pornography laws tor adults
because effective legislation
would require either largely
voluntary compl lance-which
laws do not now have or
massive enforcement which
sometimes leads to repression.
It recommends instead a
massive sex re-education
program to break the
"conspiracy of silence" adults
have imposed on sex.
The purpose of the silence
has been to control youngsters
by keeping them ignorant and
to suppress adults' disturbing
sexual impulses it said, but the
effect has been to drive
underground youngsters' natural
curiosity about sex.
SEX EDUCATION
"The commission feels the
draft says. "That sex education
may be a powerful tool in
coping with both the
motivations for interest in
explicit sexual materials and
potential undesirable effects ol
exposure to these materials
Although conducted on an
enormous nationwide basis, the
draft says, appropriate sex
education still should be a joint
function o parents, church and
school.
So long. Suckers!
By CHARLES GRIFFIN
Good by Greenville, so long
ECU. A slight change in an old
song: It's been bad to know
you. Not entirely. There are
some good people, both
students and faculty, some in
the administration, and some
merchants and residents of
Greenville.
Not everyone would agree
with my favorites. President
Jenkins heads the list. Just
about everyone agrees that their
hate list is similar to mine. It
includes all the downtown
department and clothing stores.
ECU has grown too fast to
keep up with itself. Too many
incompetents hold tenure. Too
many controversial types are
removed. However gross their
personal activities might have
been, they did stimulate
students intellectually.
The system at ECU
encourages students to regard
the school as a parent, therefore
the majority of students act like
children. Toy Revolutionaries,
imitation patriots, grade point
worry-warts. If ECU should d
one thing, it should drop all
compulsion, all standards but
one: if you pass, stay; if you
can't pass. go. The children
would leave at the end of the
year, if not by the end of the
first quarter: the adults would
stay, the trivia of rules would
cease to matter. Then East
Carolina could begin to become
a University.
Greenville is another matter.
With the exception of a few fine
people Greenville sucks. From
the snide, sneering saleswomen.
the little old ladies with huge
cars that own the streets, the
landlords and ladies that charge
S35 for a cot in a cubbyhole,
the merchants that jack up their
prices every other month, the
beer joints that had it made
until Lum's opened, all the way
to the big names running the
town that claim tobacco as the
financial base of Greenville.
They suck. They suck the
college dollar, the student's
money to pay their taxes and
bills, then turn around and say
"Kiss my ass. kid like they are
doing you a favor.
There was a time when both
my wife and I were in school at
the same time. She was
pregnant We had very little
money, but we were making it
anyway. The doctor told her to
walk a lot so she walked the
mile to ECU. every day. She had
to. in any case, because our car
was out of order. When it
rained, passing students would
give her a lift. But there were
times when she had started early
to class, the eternal ram would
start, and the only people
passing would be Greenvillites
Maybe they thought she would
stain their car's upholstery. It
wouid have been difficult for a
4 foot 10 inch, very pregnant
and wet girl with an arm load ot
books to hold anyone up. They
never stopped, whatever their
reasons. For that I damn them.
They are greedy hypocrites,
and for that they disgust me.
But the milk of human kindness
has almost run dry in Greenville.
for that I hate them and damn
them, damn them, damn them.

Dissenters invited to join
ranks of newspaper staff
With the summer drawing to a close and the last
issue of FOUN1 UNHEAD no on the stands, there
remains time for one last appeal to the student body
at large for a staff next Fall.
Student interest in the newspaper is on the rise
Hut the number ot" students who come to the office
in an effort to work on the paper or even to offei
ideas for improvements is small. During the course ol
the summer, a number of persons came to the office
with complaints about the policies of the paper I Ins
was the logical thing to do. After sitting down with
these people and talking over the situation, both
groups parted in understanding.
Man) of those students promised to come back to
the FOUNTAINHEAD to work The) were vocal in
their complaints ami should have been good writers
for the viewpoint which they represent. None ol
them returned. There is still only one group
represented on the staff. Others talk but do nothing
Any student can work on the student newspaper
This has been repeated time and time again All
v iewpoints are invited. All are vital to the survival o'
a student newspaper. However, the conservative
faction, a majority of students on campus, has no
representative on the school paper. This is
detrimental not only to that group, but to the paper
as well A liberal editorialist cannot be expected to
write from a conservative viewpoint.
In several issues of the summer newspaper, appeals
were made to the students to offer suggestions or
help to the staff. An editorial appealed to dissatisfied
students to come to the office and offer advise, just
to gripe, or to write a column for their group. None
have accepted that offer.
That editorial said that several executive and
writing positions had yet to be filled tor the Fall
staff. All executive positions have now been filled.
But the paper can make good use of all reporters who
are willing to work. The pay is low only thirteen
cents per column inch that is printed but the reward
is great. And the satisfaction of seeing your articles in
print can do one good. It can also spread the
viewpoint or interest of groups that are now now
represented on the staff.
Therefore, the staff again asks interested students
to come to the office and apply for a position as a
features or news writer in the Fall. We have begged
for a conservative columnist, but none have shown
up. We again appeal for one or for many All
applications for reporting positions will be accepted
A number of columnists can be accommodated.
The present Forum indicates that there is some
dissatisfaction with the school paper. Do something
about that fact by joining the staff of
FOUNTAINHFAD and putting your ideas into
practice
