Greenville, North Carolina
SGA campaign expenses
be high
Tuesday. March 23, 1471
Nobody has to have money to run for an
SGA office, but it helps.
As a matter of fact, three marshal candidates
have already turned in expense sheets indicating
that they will spend no money on campaigns.
However, it stands to reason that marshal
candidates do no. need to spend money
because there are only 11 candidates and 16
vacancies for marshal
But the expense in the race for executive
offices is another matter. With three candidates
for SGA President, John Mahoney, elections
committee co-chairman, predicts that the
expenses will meet the limit.
Each candidate for an SGA office is allowed
a total sum io use for campaigning expenses in
accordance to the position.
According to the general election rules, a
candidate for SGA President is allowed $75,
other SGA executive officers are allowed $50.
Legislators and class officers $35 and judiciary
Legislator reports
candidates and marshals are allowed $25.
These expenses include any material bought,
donated, or previously on hand, according to
Mahoney.
A number of resources are available for
campaign material. Some candidates use
professionally printed posters and handbills,
which are expensive to the tune of $30 to
$50.
Expense for home-made banners and signs or
posters includes merely the cost of materials
needed, unless the candidate's followers require
payment for their work.
Small handouts such as matches or candy
which endorse a candidate are used In
addition, advertising at WECU radio station is
available at the cost of 75 cents per spot.
Ads can be put in the Fountainhead and
promotion sheets can be issued which declare a
platform for the candidates. This year there will
also be a presidential debate before the
election.
Candidates arc required to submit expense
sheets including all receipts from the seller of
any campaign material.
The sheets and receipts are checked by
Mahoney in case of falsification. According to
Mahoney there is no way to check a candidate
it he does not turn in a receipt for some
expenses.
However, if that candidate uses much more
material than is listed on the expense sheet he
is checked.
If a candidate is found falsifying his
campaign expenses or exceeds the spe ifled
�mount, he .s tried by the appropriate Honor
Council and if found guilty. js disqualified
All candidates are required to submit

Ballot changes made
By JANE McKAY
(Special to Fountainhead)
A ballot that provides for a change in the
voting procedure for spring quarter was passed
in the SGA meeting on Monday.
The preferential ballot provides that
candidates' names will no longer appear on the
ballots by the order in which they file. Ballots
distributed at polling places on the campus will
be divided into three groups, in the case of the
presidential candidates, and each candidate's
name will appear first one third of the ballots.
The bill passed in hopes that a fairer type of
election could be held. It eliminates the chance
that many people may mark the first name they
see on the ballot if they recognize no one
running for that particular office.
The preferential ballot will take effect this
election even though candidates filed under the
old ruling that provided names would appear on
the ballot in the order filed.
The question was raised at the meeting as to
what would be done about election posters that
liter the campus during every election. New
restrictions have been placed on the candidates
as to where posters may be placed. It is up to
the maintenance employees to clean up what
mess is made afterwards.
ECU delegates have returned from the
National Entertainment Committee in
Philadelphia and report that many big name
Profs will set own
attendance policy
The age of the university excuse has come to
an end. Sometime in the near future, each
instructor will make known to his students his
own policy on class attendance.
According to a statement issued by the
Faculty Senate on March 4, the individual
teacher should take into consideration the
nature of the course and the maturity level of
his students, thereby calculating the degree of
flexibility he will allow concerning attendance.
EXPECTED TO ATTEWD
This decision is based on the premise that
students are encouraged and expected to attend
class punctually, but the actual policy on cuts
will be determined by the teachers themselves
They are expected to excuse absences due to
participation in official University functions
and because of a death in the family. Personal
illness is excused by the infirmary staff. The
professor can receive verification of these
excuses by contacting the offices of the dean of
men or the dean of women.
The instructor will decide how many
absences he will allow before they start
affecting the student's grades. The student is
encouraged to inform the instructor of the
absence ahead of time, f possible. If the
student does not explain to the instructor why
he was absent or the instructor cannot obtain
verification of a legitimate excuse, he does not
have to allow tW for the student to make up
any announced quizzes that were missed. The
decision is between the student and his
instructor.
ATTENDANCE AFFECTS GRADE
Some teachers tell their students that they
do not care whether they come to class or not,
usually coupled with the admonition that poor
attendance often results in a poor grade. Some
professors, especially those who teach freshman
classes, would rather take the choice out of the
hands of the students and adhere to stricter
rules of attendance.
The important thing is that academic
freedom is slowly being granted. The teachers
are no longer forced by the University to take
roll and turn in overcuts. This forced policy has
often proven unrealistic and ineffective in the
past, and the new policy seems to be a step in
the right direction.
bands will not be available for college campus
concerts.
Groups such as Santana, Three Dog Night
and Elton John could not be scheduled for
tLU concerts because of their vacationing
exorbitant price or just general
unavailability, according to an Entertainment
Committee spokesman.
These groups no longer play for college
concerts anywhere when they can do two or
hree large concerts per year and not work for
the rest of the time, he added.

Library addition gets
indefinite cancellation
SGA candidates to debate Tuesday
By BETSY HEADY
(Staff Writer)
Presidential candidates for the upcoming
Student Government Association elections will
be featured in a debate on Tuesday, March 25
from 7:30-9 p.m. in Wright Auditorium.
John Mahoney, SGA Election Committee
Co-chairman announced that Candidates Tim
Bixon, Glenn Croshaw and Neil Ross would
answer questions during the debate.
A tentative schedule has been set up allowing
each candidate 10 minutes for an opening
statement. Members of the audience will then
be allowed to question the candidates on their
policies and platforms for the March 30
elections.
A maximum of 45 minutes will be allowed
for the question and answer period. Each
candidate will then close with a five-minute
summary.
Elections Co-chairman Dede Clegg said that
the idea for a debate ong.nally was suggested
by an ECU political science class. The students
in the class wanted to be able to ask the
candidates questions prior to the elections
It is hoped that the debate will increase
interest in the candidates and the offices and
will make the elections more than just
popularity contests as has often been the case
in the past, said Miss Clegg.
"Each year there is a lack of interest during
elections. The student never has the chance to
question the candidates on their platforms "
commented Miss Clegg. "We feel that this
debate offers the student the best opportunity
to ask his questions
The SGA-sponsored event is the first of its
kuid to be held in conjunction with an election.
Plans for a new library addition at ECU have
been set back indefinitely. The many obstacles,
however, have not daunted the enthusiasm of
Wendell Smiley, librarian and one of the chief
driving forces behind the project.
Smiley, who had hoped for a completely new
library at ECU, had written recommendations
and specifications for the building which would
have cost approximately S7 to $8 million. The
ECU Board of Trustees felt that the North
Carolina Legislature would not appropriate this
amount, so they asked for $2.7 million for the
construction of an addition.
The Legislature, upon receiving the request
and reviewing the recommendations, granted
ECU close to $200,000 for the purpose of
purchasing the land needed and engaging an
architect. The land to be purchased would
include that needed for the new college union
to be built on Eighth Street.
One of the factor's which have postponed
construction is Sam Underwood, a Greenville
lawyer, who is now opposing state officials in
their quest for his property, adjacent to Joyner
Library. This case is now in N.C. Supreme

Court for an indefinite length of time and ,s
one of the chief obstacles according to Smiley
The other if finances. Since the proposal of
the plan, the construction cost ol the addition
has risen from the first stated amount of $2 7
million to a present cost of $3.2 million.
The new library addition will contain three
stories and a basement floor. It will provide
90.000 square feet of additional space as
compared to the present 88.000 square feet in
the present library building. The basement will
be the location for the referenece room
periodical room, and document room.
The circulation and information desk, card
catalogue, and much the same things will
occupy the first floor of the addition as are
found in the first floor of the present building.
The second and third floor will contain the
"core" or undergraduate books which will total
approximately 100,000 volumes.
After two years of collecting volumes for the
new library addition. Smiley is optimistic that
50.000 or more volumes will be available at the
time of completion for the new addition.
The Scholastic Fraternity of the University's
Speech and Hearing Department is sponsoring a
one-day language Symposium on Friday, March
26.
The fraternity, Sigma Alpha Eta was
recently initiated at the November Convention
of the American Speech and Hearing
Association. As their 1970-71 project, President'
Peggy Mason, Vice-president Patsy Steig, and
the other fraternity members decided to offer
the program to area speech therapists,
clinicians, and other interested persons.
Language, it development, its abnormalities
and its variations, has often been slighted uring
similar area workshops. Consequently the
speakers will offer much fresh, interesting, and
Sockiy proWdM mmmtaB
helpful information to all those attending.
James Wright, assistant professor of
linguistics will begin the Symposium at 9:15
a.m. His topic will form the foundation of the
program with his deliverance on aspects and
development of normal language. With
linguistics as his major field of interest. Wright
will present material to enhance general
knownledge of language.
Moving from normal language to itjN
deviations, Dr. Calvin Knobeloch, a guest
speaker from the North Carolina Medical
Hospital, will follow at 10:15 a.m. The
associate director of the hospital's Division for
Disorders of Development of Learning
Knobeloch's experience with language problems
will offer much to clinicians, therapists, and
parents.
The 11.45 session will center upon tests,
their scoring, their meaning, and their
application. Because it will be informal, Dr.
Monte Hedges will be answering questions
pertinent to individual situations. As a clinical
psychologist. Hedges teaches at ECU and also
works in the Developmental Evaluation Clinic.
After lunch, the director of Shaw-
University's Speech and Hearing Clinic, Dr.
sAron Favors, accomplished by some of his
statfwill speak on black dialect, and the
considerations a speech therapist, teacher, or
clinician must remember. This relatively new
topic in the speech and hearing field will be
presented from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
To complete the program. Dr. Doris Bradley,
director of the Speech and Hearing Dental
School at the University of North Carolina, will
present a talk on the expressive and receptive
problems encountered with language.
The program is being scheduled for Friday,
March 26; 9 a.m. until 4 p.m Being a
non-profit organization, Sigma Alpha Eta will
have no admission charge or stipulations. All
will be welcome to attend individual speakers
or the entire symposium in lecture room 101 of
the Nursing Building. Area speech pathogists.
clinicians, and rehabilitation workers are
expected along with some English, education,
and psychology classes, parents, and students.
Adoption is one alternative
,
By MARTHA GREEN
(Staff Writer)
EDITOR'S NOTE: This j� the second article in � sories
of three concerning the alternative! to an unwanted
pregnancy.
An extended visit to Aunt Susie's is often
thought to be the answer for the unwed
mother.
There in a larger town far away from friends
and family, she can have the baby, put it up for
adoption, and come home smiling as though
nothing had happened.
Mrs. Fanchon Crawley, social worker at the
Children's Home Society (CHS) is quick to
assure that this myth is false.
"It's a horrible thing for a young girl to have
to give up a baby. It's unnatural
The Children's Home Society is an adoption
agency under the United Fund. Though their
main function is adoption, the agency counsels
unwed mothers.
The girls who come to the Children's Home
Society are referred there by their minister or
I
doctor, says Mrs. Crawley.
Most of the girls are considering adoption for
their babies. Keeping the child or having an
abortion is in the back of their minds, reflects
Mrs. Crawley.
SHE MUST DECIDE
"We talk with her and discuss the alternatives
she can take. We never talk a girl out of her
baby. The decision is entirely ' ers. Once e
has made the decision, she nust be satisfie '
A girl who comes to the agency is usua. y
scared and nervous, says Mrs. Crawley. She sits
at the desk fumbling with her pocketbook, with
her eyes looking into space.
"We begin by asking her what she's thinking
about. At first she doesn't answer, then
tearfully she pours out her story
She can't keep the baby nor can she let her
parents know in most cases, cites Mrs. Crawley
Maybe she has small brothers and sisters at
Home whom she does not want to tell
JUhe girl decides to have the child away
Jtm home, the agency helps her find a
maternity home out of the city.
If she decides on an abortion they refer her
to several doctors in the area who can help tier.
The agency works with the girl in finding a
place to have her child. "Some of the younger
girls need a more protective maternity home
says Mrs. Crawley.
FINANCIAL AID
The girl takes care of her own maternity-
expenses. However, in rare cases the agency
helps the girl to get financial aid. Counseling
and care for the baby are free.
Perhaps the girl decides to have her baby in
Charlotte Arrangements are made so she can
enter before her seventh month. A social
worker from the agency keeps in contact with
her during her stay.
Whether the mother wants to see the baby
after birth is her decision, says Mrs. Crawley
Some girls want to see them. Others could not
bear to see their babies knowing they would
have to give them up.
When the baby is born, the girl surrenders a
release for him. She then waits a 30-day period
The baby stays in the agency's nursery home in
Greensboro for the 30 days. Within this period
I
she can reclaim the baby if she wants.
Also, she can have an extension period if she
is still undecided as to keeping the baby. She
can see him anytime she wants during this
period. The baby remains hers until the period
is up.
ADOPTION IS FINAL
If at the end of 30 days, the agency does not
hear from her, the child is their possession. She
cannot reclaim the baby then. He is legally
ready for adoption.
"We then write the mother telling her how
the baby is. We cannot tell her where he goes.
Nor do the adoptive parents know where the
baby came from.
Many girls come back for counseling after
they have given up their babies.
"They usually come back for reassurance.
They want to be sure they have done the right
thing The girl must be completely satisfied
with her decision. The decision she makes will
be the one she will live with the rest of her
life comments Mrs. Crawley.
"We assure her the child is placed with
particular care and is receiving the best
attention

Man) goali ol zoning ordinancei are

Because ol zoning ordinances, people must

Watson said thai zoning docs not do whal
planners want it to do. There are many
political, economic, and social problems. Most
problems are in the planning rathei than in the
zoning itself. Plans are based on the assumption
that a design is "right and propei " I his
assumption is responsible for many failures.
One idea ol planners is that mobile homes
belong in mobile home parks. This means that a
mobile home should not be placed in a
residential area designated for houses. It the
mobile home could meet the building code foi
an aiea. it could be placed there. I he problem
is that it is very difficult to meet the building
code.

�i 2 WATSON, Greenville's new aty planner, told student planners
tfwt the reason plans aren't carried out is that they are not sound plans
Zoning ordinances are often violated. p'
Apattnient complexes ate also supposed to
estricted to certain areas: "single family
dwellings should only be with single family
dwellings and apartment complexes are as
different from single family dwellings as
industries (arc)
Watson said that it is very important to
justify a design to citizens. This justification is
extremely difficult The design is usually just
a rough sketch.
"Sometimes the reason the plans are not
carried out right is that they are not good plans
It would be better If the plans were placed
between the ideal and what is going to happen
They would stand a better chance of being
carried out
Watson also supplied some information
about Greenville, which is not as fortunate as
some areas in elevation. Certain elevations can
not be set aside for certain developments.
Another problem in Greenville is the soil
which is very difficult to implement. All
Gieenville soil is relatively the same. Soil
conditions are heavily relied upon when
considering the construction of a building.
Prospective scientists to compete in Fair here
Several dozen Drosnectfva �i.iitictc �r tuj
Several dozen prospective scientists ol
Vmerica will compete in the annual district
Science Fair to be held March 26 on the ECU
campus.
The lair, sponsored by the North Carolina
Academy of Science, will bring together
winners from all the local science fairs held
prioi to this month and any other entries from
areas which do not have local fairs.
Submitted projects will be exhibited ;
Memorial Gym all day. Judging of the projects
will be held in the morning with the winners
Being announced at 2 p.m.
The public may view the exhibits from I to
3:30 p.m.
A regular event since the its inception in
I�45, the lair is open to high school and junior
high school students. District lairs are held at
various locations throughout the state ECU has
been the site of the Northeastern District fair
for the past 10 years. This district includes 22
counties.
James D. Nicholson, assisted by Dr Carol
Hampton, are in charge of handling the district
Ian. Both are members of ECU's Department ol
science Education.
Nicholson reports that some two dozen

still extensive interest in
General education requirements are to be revamped
I sure would like to take that course, but I
just can't squeeze in those extra hours What
I ntversity student has not made that statement
at least once in his college years
I Cl has taken a step toward eliminating that
problem by modifying the general education
requirements lor all baccalaureate degrees.
Effective with the 1971-72 Catalogue
students will be required to complete only 66
hours before going into their major as opposed
to 96 hours under the old requirements. The
foreign language required for the B.A. degree is
not included in that 66 hours.
Language requirements have also been
modified, h. wever. A candidate for the B.A
degree must complete a foreign language
through level four under the new requirements
Previously a foreign language was required
through one five hour course beyond level four
For most students that literature course was
French. Italian. Spanish, or Latin 2 or German
or Russian 120. Under the new catalogue these
courses will not be required of students taking a
language. However, they will not be dropped
completely, but according to Dr. Joseph
Fernandez, chairman of the Romance Language
Department, there will doubtlessly be a
reduction ui the number of times the" courses
will be offered, possibly even to the point
where they are offered lor onlv one quarter
each year.
STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM CHANGES
This reduction in general education
requirements does not reduce the total number
ot h mrs a student must complete tor a degree.
Although major course requirements have not
been extended the extra hours must be made
up from elective and cognate courses.
According to John H. Home, dean of
admissions, this liberalization of the general
education requirements will benefit the
students by allowing them to enroll in courses
i" winch they aie truly interested. Therefore
they will be more likoly to take part in the class
lather than just take up a seat.
Also by eliminating the required aspect from
some courses, professors in those classes will
Have to develop new concepts of presenting the
subject matter in order to compete for the
students' interest. The changes will also make it
easier lor transfer students from schools with
differing general education requirements to use
the credits they already have at ECU.
Not all students will be affected hv the new
requirements. Those who are currently enrolled
at tt U may continue under the requirements
oi the catalogue In effect at the time they
entered the General College. However, some
may elect to go under the requirements of the
new catalogue. The) cannot mix requirements
from different catalogues. The move toward
liberalization of curriculum began amone the
faculty about three ears ago. AH departments
made recommend: tions for changes and
presented them to the University Curriculum
Committee where they were debated and
modified to the final form. They were then
presented to,the Faculty Senate for approval
This year that approval was given and plans
have been made to initiate the new
requirements with the 1971-72 catalogue. The
onlv major opposition t) the changes was from
faculty members who felt students would shun
difficult or unpopular courses for easier
subjects.
NEWRECUIREMENTS
For full details of how the new requirements
will affect the student, he should see his
advisor. Following is a basic outline of what the
new general education requirements are
English 1. 2, 3. and Library Science 10
quarter hours.
Science (at least eight hours of an
introductory escquence in one science including
one course requiring lab work.) Select courses
from biology, chemistry, geology or physics -

three 0 ,he fo�owi
economics, geography, history, political
5-JJ. or sociology ffi
Mathematics, five quarter hours of math at

logic. It logic is used to satisfy this requirement
it may not be used to satisfy the humanities
requirement.
Humanities and Fine Arts; at least on
humanities and one fine arts course from the
following areas for a total of 15 quarter hours-
Humanities: literature (English or American)
literature in a foreign language, or PhiIosophy:
or Fine Arts: art. drama, speech or music.
Health and physical education for four
quarter hours.
The student must also take any specialized or
cognate courses required by his particular major
field during his general college period.

Although there
the fair throughtout tlie state, there has been a
declining number of entries the past several
years. Nicholson expects this year's fair to
follow the same trend.
Entries are still being accepted with the entry
deadline being March 24.
Any kind of project may be submitted
providing that it is of a scientific nature and
follows the entry requirements outlined in the
fair manual. The manual is distributed to
prospective entrants.
Judging in the district fairs is divided into
two categories: biological and physical science
and based on creative ability, scientifice

students. Robert Boudreaux. Financial Aid
Officer, said married students were not
discriminated against but that need, the
couple's resources, and budget were all taken
into consideration.
W is also given in the form of help in
finding jobs on campus and downtown Most
married students either hold down part time
jobs or stop school all together and go to
work.
SGA President Bob Whitley said he worked
with Wachovia Bank before he began his
present duties as president, which is a salaried
job also. He was able to receive a loan after his
marriage. But he said, as he played with his gold
band, that it is probably cheaper for the
married guy than the single guy because he
doesn't have to eat out so much or worry about
weekend cash for dating. The social life isn't
quite as financially demanding.
Junior Karen Cushman said she and her
husband had trouble finding jobs, but that she
felt they had both learned to live on a tighter
budget. "I don't think we've suffered that
much. Last quarter we both had over a 3.0
average she said.
Another of the main gripes of the ECU
student is the higher prices they meet in dealing
with the downtown merchants. This problem is
multiplied for the married couples that are
trying to finish school, especially in the area of
housing.
Dan Wooten. director of housing, said ECU
does not have any available accomodations for
the married students due to a number of
reasons. Other schools, he said, have the room,
the money, and the backing for such programs'
that we just don't have. If. as was once
proposed here. ECU were to construct
complexes for married students, the rent would
undoubtedly run even higher than that of local
owners. And if such complexes were built they
would be cited no closer than Charles Street
which is also further from campus than some
other facilities.
However, the housing office works with the
downtown owners in helping married students
find sufficient housing, as long as the owner
signs and agrees to a policy of
non-discrimination.
Wooten also stated that at one time facilities
had been located in the basement of Ragsdale
Dormitory and Slay Annex, but that these were
no longer in use for married students. John and
Karen Cushman said they would naturally move
into such complexes if they were provided.
Karen stating that her main problem was the
distance of the campus from her home. But
Whitley said he and his wife would not live in
them if provided because they would naturally
have to come under University rules and he
didn't feel a married couple should have to
cope with them. With no future plans in sight in
the housing office, it looks like these couples
will have to live whereever they can find a
decent place at a decent price.
Then where are those who have dropped out
of school to go to work because they just
couldn't make it. Working between every class,
studying when he can, worrying about a home
and an income and an education all at the same
time is a big load.
As one, not so new (any more) bride said
"Sometimes we don't even know what's going
to come next. Wouldn't it be great if we could
just live on love?"
At the present rate, before long that might
be just what some of these couples have to
do it it's possible.

Va. Beach prepares
hippies' arrival
VIRGINIA 2EACH, Va. (AP) - Anticipating
an :islaught of hippies this summer. City
Council Monday gave informal approval to four
ordinances aimed at stricter control over their
activities.
One proposed law imposes a curfew for those
under 18 between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
The other three ordinances require motels,
hotels and boarding establishments to maintain
a register book available for police inspection,
numbers of all room doors, and make it a
misdemeanor to register under a false name.
The proposed law would make it a
misdemeanor for anyone to sleep on the bench
between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. It would be a
misdemeanor to obstruct the free passage of
pedestrians on private or public property.
Although the ordinances do not specifically
mention "hippies" the council left no doubt as
to their target.
City manager Roger M. Scott said the city
would publish a special pamphlet warning
"hippies" of the city's laws. The pamphlet
would be distributed by policemen working in
the resort area.
Honors challenges students

If you haven't found a course at ECU
challenged your intellect, maybe you should be
in the Honors Program.
Each quarter the program offers a course
potentially superior students in the freshman
and sophomore class may take, according to Dr
John Kozy, director of the Honors Program
Honors courses satisfy general education
requirements. There are six courses in the
program with three hours of credit each Three
of the courses are in literature, two in
philosophy and one in political theory
Classes meet once a week for two hours The
discussion centers around some book which has
been assigned. There are no exams. Kozy said
but students are required to write papers.
Grades follow the standards set by the
University.
There are no upperclassmen in the Honors
Program because "we don't want kids to be
of the Philosophy Department. Several
departments, including philosophy, have honors

For the inquisitive student, three hours of
lectures and three hours of lab work each week
does little to satisfy his curiosity. To him the
experience of field work is invaluable
The development of the Marine Science
Center at Manteo provides such an opportunity
At the center, students in biology and geology
can work in the environment they are studying
Begun in 1969, the center conducts regular
classes fall and spring quarters pending the
registration of enough students. Thost
participating live and attend classes at Manteo
The classroom building was given to ECU by
the Dare County Board of Commissioners This
vacated grammar school and 40 acres of
waterfront land also donated by the Board o(
serve as the basis of studies.
The housing arrangement, one of the
program's drawbacks, consists of apartments
rented from the Lost Colony Company. The
apartments themselves are quiet adequate
F
though they impose certain limitations
Obviously, the ideal season to study on the
coast is summer. This is also the best time to
present an outdoor play. Therefore, the
operation of the program is confined to the fall
and spring quarters.
The expense to students of spending a
quarter at Manteo is not directly greater than
attending school on the ECU campus. Room
rent and tuition fees are the same and due to
the size of the town, there are actually fewere
. places to spend money.
The indirect expense comes in form of lack
of courses other than those in biology and
geology. A student must plan several quarters
around the one he spends at Manteo, and might
possibly need a session of summer school to
complete other academic requirements
Also, the opportunity of getting a part time
job in Manteo is slim, according to Dr Ed
Ryan, academic advisor for the program A
student who normally supports himself during
the quarter by working would be faced with a
same courses can and have
on the ECU campus, the
lack of income for three months
The courses being offered at' the center for

ecology, research problems in biology'
oceanography, sedimentary geology and
directed studies in geology.
Though these

advantage of taking them at Manteo lies in the
student's ability to investigate for an unlimited
time facts or problems he is presented with in
class.
Because the amount of initiative a person
possesses determines how much he will get out
Of a quarter at Manteo. it takes a student who
likes and is concerned about the environment
to really receive all that is potentially possible.
Aside from teaching course in biology and
geology the professors at Manteo are doing
research through grants from the Federal
Seagrant Program.

MAGGIE AND TERRE Roche, a
sister duet performing folk-pop music,
are appearing this week at the Student
Union Coffeehouse. Shows will be
nightly at 8 and 9 o'clock in Union 201,
and admission is 25 cents.
Maggie and Terre disarm audiences
Maggie and Terre Roche, two new names in
entertainment with new sounds, are performing
this week at the Student Union Coffeehouse in
Union 201.
The sisters sing a type of folk-pop song, a
unique mixture of Sunon and Garfunkel,
Crosby. Stills. Nash, and Young, Bob Dylan,
and Joni Mitchell. Most of theri repertoire
consists of original material, including
"California" a song about fear; "Malachy's"
and "Stinkbomb a song about "some damn
tool wronging right
Other material includes "America
"Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel. "Clouds"
and "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell and others.
By the time Maggie and Terre sing
"Malachy's" in their show, the audience has
totally forgotten the age or sex of these
performers. The sons, an honest and moving
expose of the thoughts in a performer's mind
while singing for a listless audience, joins
performers and listener into one emus.
Very often, a new performer will auid eye
contact with his audience. He sings his songs
never having noticed the expressions on the
faces of the people sitting before him. These
girls have the disarming desire not onl) to look
at faces, bui to look within those faces to be
sure that they have touched more than the ears
alone.
When asked to describe the kind ol music

BOOMi (AP) College professors have long
been accused in their criticism of world
problems because they are safe and sound from
the "real" world.
A group of top graduate professors at
Appalachian State University might change that
image somewhat when they begin teaching next
fall in urban ghettos and mountain villages.
Professors are a clannish lot. fussing among
themselves, but defending each other vigorously
when attacked from the outside. It is that "us"
and "them" syndrome that the program will try
ti change.
"II is an effort to reach the graduate
professor and bring him up to dale with
contemporary society is the way project
director Dr Joe Logan of the ASU faculty
described it.
Thai statement in itself probably wouldn't
make any sense to the child of the ghetto, who
uses a different language and lives by different
codes than the usually white middle class
teachers
Such kids might understand if Logan said.
"These guys are gonna tool on down to the
jungle and see where it's at
The professor's reactions may range from
shock to enlightenment. But whatever they are,
they will pass along what they find to the
teachers they train.
The experimeiu is funded with a S43.000
grant from the IS. Office of Education and
will start during the next academic year.
Fourteen professors will participate in the
1971-72 school year. The professors will come
from the departments of art, English,
philosophy, sociology, history, education,
psychology, biology, mathematics and
geography.
"The intent here is to make a
multi-disciplined impact Logan said.
"We will take our professors from different
areas and retrain them as they teach in the
schools he said. "And we will help them
relate their specific subject area to the others
"At the same time he said, "We hope to
affect constructive changes in the schools

The show had been advertised as a counter to Bob

Many of the servicemen there felt, that the
atmosphere created was too light. One member of the
audience said. "All that Jane Fonda did was put on a
skit. I expected someone to stand up and bring out a
certain movement Another Gl added. "Fonda's
being here was almost like a letdown. I expected her
to say something radical
During the show. Fonda explained the purpose of
the show. She said. "We are here toi support the Gl
movement, and Haymarket Square is symbolic o( that
movement
Barbara Dane supported Fonda's ;xplaination by
adding. "The focus of the war is that man has to go
out and fight. And soldiers have had the least to say
about whether or not we should conduct that light.
We are here to use our talents on beha)l of the Gl's to
help them get that voice
A veteran of Vietnam said, "Even thought it wasn't
as radical as we would have liked, this show is the
best thing that ever happened to any G' in this area.
The shows at Ft. Bragg have been for the benefit of
the brass, not the Gl's. They have had nothing to do
with what the people want now. and the people can't
speak out and tell them
Fonda and Sutherland were the featured drawing
cards for the show, however, it was Dick Gregory
who received a standing ovation at the end of his
comedy routine.

The climax ol the show was a series ol skits given
b) all the members of the group. The first one
included the following conversation between two
Hoops, acted by Donald Sutherland and Peter Boyle.
Sutherland Hey. look at the sarge standing there
at the edge of that cliff
Boyle: He's been depressed lor a long lime now.
Maybe we should give him a word ol encouragement.
Sutherland and Boyle: JUMP'
In another skit. Jane Fonda acted the part of a
frustrated Pat Nixon trying to tell the President that
demonstrators were storming the White House
demanding that he "free all political prisoners, pull
out of Vietnam, and dialt all federal employees.
When Nixon says that he'd better call in the 82nd
Airborne, she replies. "You can't. It IS the 82nd
Airborne
In their second skit together, Sutherlandtells Boyle
that he was going to get a watchdog. Boyle replied.
"What do you need a watchdog for sarge? You're
surrounded by 2,000 armed soldiers Sutherland
answers. "THAT'S why I'm going to get me a
watchdog
Sutherland and Boyle also gave an eye-witness
"sports cast" of a fight between the Viet Cong and
the 101st Airborne on the Mekong Delta. At the
conclusion Sutherland said. "And I'm sure that
president Nixon would have certainly liked to have
been here today to throw out the first grenade
When Pete Scegar sang at the Haymarket Square
last December, he wrote the following message on the
wall ol the coffeehouse: "This place is a monument
to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
Jane Fonda and her anti-war show added credeence
lo that claim.
"Oh say can you see" the cast of USSF Show

What happens when
spotlight is removed?
(Photo by Tom Roovcs)
By JIMEICHLING
(Stall Writer)
The USSF show in relation to the Gl's
United Movement is strangely reminiscent of
the early civil rights movement. In the early
60's. nationally known figures ventured into
small Southern towns carrying with them the
eyes of the nation through news coverage. The
question arose then ainoung blacks as it does
now among GIs of all races. "What happens
when the big-name people leave?"
As in the earl; 60's. the oppressed persons
and their problems remain. The nation soon
forgets that there are people left behind when
the spotlight has been removed. The GIs still
want and do not receive the full protection of
their Constitutional rights. The GIs are still
being exploited by merchants in military towns.
The GIs are still the ones whose bodies
constitute the U.S. veekry death toll. The
injustice and the problems still remain.
This should not be construed as a criticism of
Jane Fonda. Donald Sutherland, and the others
staning in the USSF show. They are doing all
they can to help by bringing the problem into
the national limelight. It is. however, a criticism
of those persons who believe that mere
publicity is enough. There is a point where
dialogue becomes rhetoric and where issues are
lost in the realm of cliches.
Steve Diggman. a member of Gl's United,
said that those who oppose the war in Vietnam
are often singled out by their commanders and
are put in jail on "trumped up" charges, only to
have the charge dropped after the Gl has been
in jail two months.
Diggman spoke directly to the student body
through this reporter by saying. "The soldiers
in the army definitely need the support of any
colleges and campuses. We all stand basically
for the same thing. We need to get together.
Just because we don't have long hair doesn't
mean that we were not like you before we were
drafted
He said that GIs are being discriminated
against. He cited the example of Methodist
College in Fayetteville which has a sign. "No
GIs Allowed
Perhaps the Gl's United Movement stands as
a challenge to the students" humanity. Can the
student who is personally contemplating
application for CO status, or considering
Canada, relate to those who are already in the
service?

Dick Gregory speaks to Gl's
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following exerpts are from a comedy
routine presented by Dick Gregory at the USSF show. Gregory
has been for many years an outspoken advocate of Civil Rights.
Gregory is the author of the book "Nigger Nigger
Gregory 1 didn't think this show would ever come off.
You know this isn't being sponsored by Chrysler
exactlj.
1 ou know the judge finally ruleq we could have the
auditorium and you know how we dild it? Well, we called
the Defense Department and told them we were going to
get in touch with our undercover agents who are
working as undercover spies, and tell them to release any
information they had on Army generals. They told me
we could not only have the show, but they would fly us
here on Air Force One.
1 was in the service: I was the only cat that protested
an 1 the only way I protested was by showing up 10
minutes late. I thought 1 could beat the Army.
Remember that 40-page medical record you have to fill
out J It lists nothing but diseases. So I went down the list
and said I had everything. When I turned to the page
where it said other. 1 went and listed polio � twice. The
sergent looked up and said: "You're just the guy we
want, a cat that can't be killed
l second day in the Army we went in the field and
played war games. They Hew planes by that dropped
flour representing atomic radiation. When you got a
speck of flour on you. you were dead. I didn't want to
do it but I played along. 1 brought my own flour out
there and committed suicide.
I remember when the captain asked us if we
understood that if we were captured we could only give
the enemy our name. rank, and serial number. I said. "I
understand what you just said, captain, but our dog tags
have that on it. So the enemy could have that if I was
dead Hell, least you could do was to give me something
I could negotiate with I ike every other red blooded
American. I'm willing to die 20 times for my country
but il I'm captured. I'm talking There's just something
about a cat pouring hot watei down my back, snatching
my fingernails off. and sticking me in my eyes that will
make me tell them things that I don't even know!
I uas watching the Sunday night newscast that Nixon
was on last week Now that's a funny cat. The only thing
that worries me about Nixon leaving the country is that
Agnew is the number one cat then. I wouldn't be
surprised if I picked up the paper one day and saw that
Agnew had hijacked a tiam to Cuba. I don't mean to
frighten you college folks, but Agnew graduated from
college He started out normal. I was talking to one
of his roommates, and he said Agnew was a dumb cat.
One night they all went on a panty raid. Agnew was the
only cat that came back with a jockey strap. Yep.
Agnew reminds me of the kind ol cat who would make a
crank call to the Russians on the hot line.
Remember how stupid Nixon looked trying to explain
why we found no enemy soldiers in Cambodia? He tried
to save face by saying that we did find a hell of a lot of
rice. I mean, it's no big thing to find rice in Southeast
Asia, is it' I could see it il he had found watermelons or
barbecue.
Now. what il the Russians decided to invade the U.S.
in order lo protect their troops in Cuba Can you see
Kosygin trying to explain to his people why he found no
enemy troops' "Well. uh. we didn't find no soldiers, but
we're happy to announce thai we did confiscate 32.000

EDITOR'S NOTE Gl's United is an organization comprised of and operating for the benefit of active duty
servicemen presently stationed at Fort Bragg. The following is a reprint from their official off base newspaper.

Realizing that words, even thoughts concerning ihe many problems ihat confront this nation are
frankly of little importance. Gl's United, in an effort lo be part of a national solution lo these
problems, lists a platform of priorities thai musi be met if the ideals of men can ever hope to be
lealicd
unilateral withdrawal of military personnel, aims and wai material that active!) . inactively, oi

the primary issue Without an end lo ihe vain hope ol military triumph, without an end lo

nations, without an end lo the much loo ical misuse of Americans by Americans, without
Ihe cessation ol imperialism, ihe vastly more importani question of the survival ol the human race
cannoi be reconciled.
US foreign policy thai supports cruel and unjust dictatorships only lo secure the survival of the
American economy and the corporate system musi cease, and the US must begin to support
peoples' struggles for justice and liberation not only in Vietnam bin in nations such as Brazil.
Argentina, and Angola as well. US troops must be withdrawn from all foreign countries and an end
lo the use of Gl's against ihe struggles of oppressed peoples musi be realized. Indochina is Ihe first
step.
Then there are the worlds thai seem to separate you and me prejudice and racism personal,
regional and cultural. Ihe glorification ol one human being over another must he overcome not
only, in the city sheets, bin in our own backyards. The unethical attitudes of business and
government that exploit individuals and institutions musi be ended through a more relevant
edcuation ol ihe very basic human values ol equality, justice and ihe right to pursue happiness I'm
all people Closet to home, we want to see an end lo the harassment of Gl's and a guarantee of
constitutional rights through a democratic army
Of meat importance is an end to the wanton destruction and pollution of the environment by
indifferent governmental and corporate policies with a re-ordering of national, slate, and city
priorities. We must cease to shuffle the responsibilit) and realize ihat pollution begins at home.
And ends there I here can he no second thoughts.

Decision commendable
I he 1(1 Ik ulty Uhletic Committee
recently decided to give head basket ha 11
couch I in Qu inn a "vote ol
con tide nee "in spite ol waves of
speculation thai this would be Quinn's
last yeat here
I Ins decision reflects whal we feel is
a commendable emphasis upon
developing individual athletes, which
Quinn has June, rathei than the usual
obsession with tiring coaches who have
not given u school m outstanding
season
Although this was the year mam
people fell thai 1(1 would .no all the
way and vvm the Southern Conference
championship, the Pirates did not gel
past the hist round ol the conference
tournament And, as is so often the
wise when a learn tails short ol its
highest goals, main I CU supporters
immediately wanted Quinn's blood in
spite ot an overall winning season
When Quinn took ovei the basketball
program five years ago, the team was a
perpetual cellar-dwellei with a ver low
financial budge) In the intervening
years, Quinn has developed a first class
winning team and has brought about au
increase in the funds spent on
basketball
111' now allots more money lor its
basketball program than it did when
Quinn first arrived hut u still has the
lowest budget in the conference, In
spite ol this. Quinn has instilled the
desne lo win among his players and
developed the general belief that the
team was playing good enough bull to
go all the wav to a conference
championship
Although the team did not win the
conference championship, there are few
who question Quinn's ability to develop
his players into first class athletes who
plav heads up ball.
Ihis. we feel, is the most important
aspect ol a coaches job. If. in addition,
the team is able to take a conference
championship, it would just be icing
on the cake
We wish coach Quinn many more
years ol mku' with the Pirate
basketball team and less premature
speculation about Ins job.

met Feb 16 and quietly cast it aside into the
heap reserved foi "Unacceptable Student
Garbage " In its place they instituted a new set
of rules officially titled "Class Attendance

faculty's back, of course).
The new set ol regulations grams to each

QUESTION: I am concerned about the
possibility of my pipe smoking habits causing
me to develop lip cancer What, if anv. are the
warning signs of lip cancel, and how serious is
it Is it in anv way infectious or
communicable' Is is true that cigars are less
likely to cause lip cancer?
ANSW'hR: Cancer of the lip is unusual before
middle age and more often occurs in older age
groups. It has been associated with chronic-
irritation and the person who smokes a pipe or
cigar for manv hours a day resting it on the
same section of the lip is likely to create a
situation that is ripe foi development of cancel
Even so. this does not happen often. Any
irregular growth on the lip that persists for
more than a couple of weeks should be
investigated as a possible malignancy Usually a
small rounded, firm area at the border where
the lip turns under and becomes moist is a
prime sight for a cancer. Lip cancer is usually
cured by surgery or radiation when discovered
and has a very low mortality. Lip cancer is not
communicable.
Cancer of the cheek or tongue also occurs
infrequently in pipe and cigar smokers but
these cancers tend to be dangerous. Most
sources say that pipes produce less cancer than
cigars, but both of them pi iduce only a tiny
fraction ol the cancer produced by cigarettes.
QUESTION: I have noticed that at times one of
my eyes is dilated more than the other I am
curious as to the cause and. remedy. My
eyesight is perfect. I have highblood pressure,
but take no medication.
Academic progress is vital to deferments
Bv JOHN STRIKER AND ANDREW SHAPIRO
Are you making satisfactory academic
progress this spring' If not you may be dratted
next fall i ontinuation oi a student's US
deferment depends upon lus "satisfactory
pui suing ,i full-time course of instruction
Unsatisfactory progress is a legitimate ground
lor denying a future IIS.
The draft hoaid must decide whether you
made satisfactory progress during this academic
veai belore renewing your IIS for the next
academii yeai Draft hoards follow a key
regulation that purports to lay down an
ironclad definition ol satisfactory progress. "A
studeni slull be deemed to be 'satisfactorily
puisuing a lull-time course of instruction'
when, during his academic ear (the 12-month
period following the beginning of a course of
siudv l. he has earned, as a minumum. credits
tow aid his degree which, when added to anv
credits earned during prior academic yeais.
represents a proportion ot the total number
required to earn Ins degree at least equal to the
proportion which the number of academic
years completed bears to the normal number of
veais established by the school to obtain such
degiee "
Mercifully, tins legalistic formula concludes
with us own built-in illustration: "For example,
a student pursuing a tour-yeat course should
have earned 25'I of the credits required for his
baccalaureate degree at the end of his first
academic year. 50' at the end of his second
academic year, and 75 at the end of the third
academic year
Suppose, however, that you are several
credits shv of 5091 at the end of your
sophomore year. Can you be denied renewal of
your ll-S for your upcoming junior year
A negative response was recently handed
down bv the Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit (covering Maryland. West Virginia.
Virginia. North and South Carolina ). The
Court held in Coleman v. Tolson that a student
might still qualify for a ll-S. even though.
technically, he has not made satisfactory
progress
Coleman, himself, failed to earn 509! of his
credits bv the end of his second academic year
in a four-year curriculum. He was just seven
sredit hours short of being a full-Hedged junior.
The deficit was not Coleman's fault. Instead.

certain freshman to pursue three semesters.

good standing in the eyes of the school. The
school so informed Coleman's draft board,
stating that he would fulfull all his necessary
credits withing the two years left before
receiving his degree.
But the school's affirmation did not satisfy
the draft board Following the definition of
satisfactory progress to the letter, the board
reclassified Coleman l-A at the start of his third
academic year and ordered him to report for
induction. In ally, when Coleman's case
reached court, the Fourth Circuit ordered the
draft board to classify him ll-S.
"Whether a student is 'satisfactorily pursuing
a full-time course of instruction the court
declared, "is a question of fact. In resolving that
question the source of information and
evidence is obviously the college
administration. So long as a college certified
that a registrant is expected to graduate on
time, and it appears reasonably probable that
he can do so, he should be entitled to retain his
ll-S classification. When a college cannot certify
that the registrant is expected to graduate on
time, certainly a local board would have a basis
in fact for terminating the deferment
This judicial interpretation of satisfactory
progress is both loose and reasonable. It is loose
because it departs from the strict letter of the
regulations which Coleman's board blindly
followed. The court's departure is reasonable,
however, because it looks toward the ultimate
goal of graduation rather than the ups and
downs of annual achievement.
The Fourth Circuit by no means mandated
that a draft board's determination of
satisfactory progress must always be controlled
by the school's certification. Quite to the
contrary, the court was careful to point out:
"Even where the college certified that the
registrant is expected to graduate on time, in a
given case a local board may nevertheless
conclude otherwise, e.g where the registrant is
not passing the assigned work and has fallen
further behind, there may be a basis in fact for
discontinuing deferment
The precedent set by the Fourth Circuit may
help many of you in the next academic years.
Remember, even if the ll-S deferment is
abolished on June 30. those of you who were
enrolled in college on or before April 22. 1970
will continue to remain eligible for the ll-S
under the rules that presently prevail.
Therefore, the interpretation of current rules
remains relevant tor the future.
ANSWLR: Most cases of unequal pupils have
no particular cause and aie variations of
normal. Unequal pupils can also occur when
there is an irritation in one eye. Escalating to an
extremely dangerous cause of a dilated pupil is
the possibility of a bulging of an artery
(aneurysm) located in a position where it
presses against nerves controlling the size of
pupil. With a history of high blood pressure. I ,
would urge you to check immediately with a
physician to make sure thai this condition is
not out of control.
QUESTION: I've heard of several ways that
women can enlarge then breads, but most of
them are impractical or unsafe Is there any safe
way of doing it Is lUieone harmful Do the
methods advertised m magazines have any
value' Would hormone shots have the same
effect asbir'h control pills on breast size
ANSWERf he quest for a larger breast has led
women fo lake desperate measures, including
fallingfor a variety of advertised methods of
increasing breast size (most are harmless and
ineffective, but some are dangerous) For a
while women were having their breasts enlarged
with injections of a liquid silicone compound
between the chest wall and the breast. This
produced an ample bosom with the resiliency
of a beach ball; it also produced a high rate of
cancer and is illegal in this country. A variety of
synthetic foam inserts can be surgically
installed in a rather major operation attended
by a number of hazards. The worst hazard is
post operation infection sometimes resulting in
the need to remove the foam insert and
whatever breast there was in the first place.
Hormone shots can increase breast size
somewhat but are definitely not recommended
for this purpose There is good evidence that
prolonged administration of high doses of
certain hormones can lead to malignancies. This
does not apply to birth control pills which
cause slight enlargement of the breasts just as
occurs in pregnancy.
It is worth emphasizing that the amount of
breast tissue is pretty much the same from one
woman to the next and the difference in breast
size is related to plain old fat. Incidentally, the
abandonment of the brassiere as advocated by
some women has as its aim the de-emphasis of
the breast as a sexual object, though the
opposite seems to have occurred.
QUESTION: Eight days after my girl friend's
period began, intercourse took place which was
fine, except that a well known brand of
prophylactic (condom) broke. What arc the
chances that pregnancy will result, and is there
any sure way of having intercourse without fear
of pregnancy?
ANSWER: Condoms are electronically tested
for leakage during manufacture. A variety of
other quality control measures are utilized
assuring a national standard of excellence for
this product. However, no condoms are sold
with a guarantee and the user assumes all risks.
Bursting can occur during athletically contrived
sexual endeavors. The use of greasy lubricants
weakens the rubber condom and only water
soluble materials should be used: better yet. the
prelubricated condom is recommended. Some
scientifically minded people pretest their own
condoms by filling them with water. This
weakens them greatly and enhances the
possibility of breakage. The same warning
applies to blowing them up.
The odds are much better than 50-50 that
your girl friend will not get pregnant if she has
a menstrual cycle about a month long which
occurs regularly. This is offered only as very
weak reassurance. There is no 100 per cent sure
way of having intercourse without fear of
pregnancy. If you use the condom, a
convenient fail-safe system calls for the
simultaneous sue of a contraceptive foam, such
as Delfen, by your girlfriend.
QUESTION: Can too frequent masturbation
lead to any physical disorders? Can venereal
disease result from masturbation?
ANSWER: No. No. A thousand times no!

Alter stagnation
To Fountainhead
It seems much has been revealed concerning
the average American political beliefs If the
average ECU student's political behavior could
he computed, however. I'm sure political
behaviorahsts would be stymied Why do they
persist (the ones who vote) in choosing the
typical high school SGA? The clean-cut.
all-American do-nothings who consider success
a name with a title before it
Another typical campaign has begun
Banners strewn across the mall, posters blowing
in the breee gimmicks to catch the voter's
eye and voters who vote for such trivia. For
the first time since I have been a student here,
we have a chance to put some meaning into the
student of Student Government, and some
action. There's a choice this year. For once not
all of the candidates are "Joe Colleges
The candidates are promising much, as usual
Some to "unite the campus" theie's a feat
Others, to "revolutionize" when they didn't
attend the meetings before. Before voting lor
an office such as president or vice-president,
student should at least look at the candidates'
past records. Oh, so he served on such and such
committee, but what did he do' A past majoi
officer who still doesn't know how to write a
resolution certainly won't iealize the
importance of another office I hope voters
look at what the candidates have done for the
students If they didn't do it when they had
the chance before, they won't make any
opportunities now
Two people, at least, are running with
unbelievable records, that is. records for
listening to the students they represented and
then acting. They presented bill after bill They
worked to show us something could be done if
we cared. They showed us new idaas. new
action, they brought up our ideas and forced
the legislature to start looking down from the
cloud it seems to have rested on all these years.
This election, people have the opportunity to
alter the stagnant tradition of ECU politics by
putting true icpresentatives of the students lii
office. If we must work within the system, at
least let's make the system workable

What's the point?
To Fountainhead:
and the truth shall make you tiee This
quote gives the reader the impression that the
Fountainhead prints the truth. What proof can
you show that "the Marine Scorpl builds
balls What was the point oi printing such
trash
Has the Fountainhead gotten so haid up for
material that it must resort to punting any thing
that comes along' If it took a college age mind
to compose that cartoon, we pity the artist. He
belongs back in tumor high.
Ken, why don't you gel a job writing for the
National Enquirer? That way you can write all
the trash you want and we can have a hettei
school newspaper
