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.

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 Court similar to the present Mens Residence Council Conn.

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 discount book which will allow them great savings at the stores of participating merchants. Whitley and Sharp have also been working on a walkway across the railroad tracks between Minges Coliseum and Belk Dorm. A right-of-way has been granted by the railroad company and negotiations are now underway with the owners of the land. SPIRIT COMMITTEE CANNON.

Education grant received 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. manager of a small store oft the 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. Bureau provides service (Continued from paqe 2) piano faculty at ECU. Stevens' areas of specialization are piano performance, piano pedagogy and musicology. The ECU String Trio is composed of Paul Topper, violinist, Rodney Schmidt, violist and Peter Dundon. cellist. Each is an artist-musician on his own instrument. The musicians have joined forces to perform works from the infrequently heard repertoire for the string trio. Collectively, they represent a great deal of professional chamber music experience. Public schools, civic organizations, junior colleges, institutions of the community college system, and others are encouraged to take advantage of the services and artists available through the Bureau.

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 of the ECU School oi Allied Healty Professions.

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 sill getting into high place often, the stumble important development; ? then torays im European political circles. "In 1968. th involved in the afi ? 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. LANGUAGE PROBLEM brainchild of lndorf, wh modestly describes his idea as (he natural and logical outgrowth, of his professional background. ffisnfi Staduvu Drive-In Cleaners & Launderei Cor. 10th&CotancheSts G 1 Hr. Cleaning things gO brth Coke The problem of coping with foreign languages is a considerable one. since the group does not have special European guides.

' t ? n Commission recommends liberal pornography laws Monday. August 17.1970. Founlainhead. Page 7 . . .????????? I.M.I ? ? ? ? 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.

"They often shout things to me while I am stripping, but it's all in good fun. There's nothing smutty about it. "1 was terribly nervous at first. I had never seen a strip show, so 1 went to a couple of clubs to see how the professional girls stripped. 1 now simply copy them The show is produced by Piers Plowright a former schoolteacher. "This is pure educational theater he said. "We aim to entertain and to stimulate. We present the English language in highly dramatic situations. ??We find it works wonders.

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 ourrutnhead WAYNE B EADS Editor in Chief David Overman Becky Noble Rob Gnnqle Dave Ittermann Ira Baker GARYGASPERINI Business Manage Manaqinq f dlti 11 Newi Editor Features Editoi .
