SGA faces money crisis
A Kinston business man has given the ECU
r-oundation the deed to 325 acres of land
located on the north side of Greenville.
A.K. Barrus of Barrus Construction
Company formally presented the gift to
President Leo Jenkins in Kinston Wednesday
morning.
Jenkins said the land is the first giant of its
type ever given to the University outright, and
described it as "truly a remarkable windfall
The land, larger in size than the school's
downtown campus, fronts on the Tar Kiver and
extends to Mumford Road.
"We will immediately launch studies to
determine possibilities for educational and
research uses of this land Jenkins said. "It is
necessary that natural areas be available to
support the new emphasis on environmental
and ecological study. Parts may be left
undisturbed foi research into natural biological
and geological features. Other parts may be
used as field study sites for our own students
and other college or public school students in
our region
The grant contains several man-made lakes
and the rest is natural woodlands. ECU officials
said it has been conservatively appraised as
being worth $75,000.
In his presentation to the University. Barrus
said, "I hope other people in eastern North
Carolina will follow suit in making gifts to the
foundation. I am particularly anxious to see the
medical school established as Eastern Carolina
needs doctors very badly and I sincerely hope
that all of the citizens will get behind the
medical school
Jenkins said the University has sought tracts
of undeveloped land to preserve for educational
and research purposes, and said he was
particularly pleased at the Barrus gift so close
proximity to the Greenville campus.
"We express our thanks and appreciation to
Mr. Barrus and state that we will make good use
of any land made available to us

The Student Government Association of
ECU is facing a money crisis.
On May 13 word was circulating around
campus that the SGA was broke. However, the
next day Randy Honnctt, SGA treasurer, said
the situation was not as bad as it look?d.
According to Honnctt the SGA appi priated
$446,000 for the year beginning fall of 1970.
To date the full amount has not been received
in the treasury, and $371,000 has been spent
by organizations receiving money from the
SGA.
Ail of the money that the SGA gets comes
from student activity fees and from the
University ticket office.
Honnett said about $30,000 is expected for
the summer school budget, but that is not a firm
figure. It can vary depending on the number of
students attending.
The reason for the overexpenditure is that
organizations receiving SGA appropriations
have been asking for more money than had
been predicted at the first of the year and the
SGA Legislature has been approving the
amounts asked, Honnett said. He added, "I
suppose the treasurer has to accept the blame
though
Mrs. Joyce Owens, director of the Student
Fund Accounting Office, was in the room with
Honnett at the time and she quickly pointed
out that the Legislature had to approve every
cent appropriated and they could add to or
take away from the treasurer's
recommendation, but what they approved the
treasurer could not change.
Mrs. Owens also pointed out that $10,000
had been lost on the entertainment during
Pirate Jamboree weekend. Students just did not
buy tickets for the entertainment events.
She went on to say, "We usually break about
even on entertainment events Generally
enough tickets are sold to pay the expenses of
the event so it costs the University nothing.
Honnett said, "We hope to break even by the
end of the year, but if expenditures continue at
the present rate we may go as much as S40.000
in the red by the end of the year.
'The only thing we can do is to ask as many
organizations as possible to hold on to the
money they have. We ask people to live with
the bare essentials and spend only what is
absolute necessary
"I intend to make sure this does not happen
again Honnctt said.
As for this summer. Honnett said we will
have money to operate on. "Money will be
available for salaries and people that work will
be paid
Yoder: Issues too complex
Constant use of the state legislature as a
court of last resort in problems of higher
education has resulted in issues too complex for
170 legislators to solve. Ed Yoder. editorial
writer for the Greensboro Daily News, told a
meeting of the American Association of
University Professors (AAUPl here Thursday
evening.
Speaking on the role of the press in higher
education. Yoder explained the proposed state
board of regents plan to the AAUP group. "The
44-mcmbor board of regents would have four
members appointed from each Congressional
district he said. "They would be appointed by
the governor for varying terms" but elected for
the first time the board went into effect.
Beneath the board of regents would be
boards of trustees for each institution to handle
menial matters. "The purse strings would be in
the hands of the board of regents Yoder said.
"They would handle such things as budgets,
degree programs, federal programs,
grants-in-aid. and function allocations
The trustees, in turn, would make faculty
appointments and oversee the president of the
institution, according to Yoder.
With the trustee system "there is one
policy-making level said Yoder. "The
administration is responsible to the board of
trustees and nothing is above them except the
Legislature
Yoder described the present trustee system
as "more politically oriented" and a system in
which there is much "back-scratching
Citing editorial stands of the Greensboro
'Leave the college press alone.
Let it be as mischevious as it
may to commit the gross errors
of taste that I was guilty of in
my day.1
Daily News on higher education, Yoder pointed
out editorial support of raising academic
salaries, repeal of the speaker ban law. support
of principles of academic freedom, and support
of campus journalists in their right to apply
their pens without interference of the
Legislature or administration.
Speaking of ECU President Leo Jenkins?
recent accusation that ECU has not been fairly
treated by Piedmont newspapers, Yoder said
that "no conspiracy exists against ECU in the
North Carolina pressrooms
Ordinances require
bicycle registration
Campus police are not enforcing city and
state ordinances for bicycles, according to Joe
Calder, campus security chief.
However, anyone riding bicycles off campus
is required to have a city registration tag and
cannot ride on sidewalks or ride after dark
without lights and a rear reflector.
The crackdown on regulations has been the
result of the large numbers of bikes
congregating in downtown Greenville, blocking
traffic and pedestrians, according to Harry
Hagerty, Greenville city manager.
VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCE
Several ECU students have already been
arrested on violation of the city ordinance
which reads:
Section VII. 11 City Code: "It is unlawful
for any person to operate a bicycle or muscular
propelled vehicle on the streets of the city of
Greenville without it being registered
According to Hagerty, the key word is
"person not "citizen thus making ECU
students liable under the same laws as residents
of Greenville.
STATE LAW
Under the state law, anyone riding after dark
without a light and a reflector is subject to
prosecution.
Registration fee for the city tags is 50 cents.
Hagerty also emphasized the registration as a
safety precaution for bike owners. Three or
more bicycles are reported stolen to the campus
police office and to the city police department
every week, according to Hagerty.
If the bikes are registered, the serial number
is recorded and positive identification can help
in restoring bikes to the rightful owner.
FREE REGISTRATION
Students charged with improper bike
registration, though unaware of the city
ordinance, have had to pay a $15 cost of court
fee, though no other fines have been imposed.
Calder also noted th? ECU offers free bike
registration fot all students this year. However,
next year bike registration will be required with
a SI fee, he said.
This is to control the flow of stolen bikes on
campus, and is cheaper than the cost of $2 at
all other state supported schools, according to
Calder.
Not only have ECU students been affected
by the city ordinance passed in 1970, but also
all citizens of Greenville, including small
children who, according to the ordinance, are
not allowed to ride on the sidewalks.
I
Yoder related that his newspaper has been
consistent in its position of university status.
"We have frequently been opposed to
university status applied wholesale or by a
magic wand he said
"We have frequently said that there may be a
good case for a fourth four-year medical school
in the state said Yoder. "But we're still
waiting for the experts to tell us
In a question and answer period. Yoder was
asked about the suspension from school of
Fountainhead Editor Robert Thonen for the
use of four-letter words.
"Leave the college press alone said the
former Dialy Tar Heel editor-in-chief. "Let it be
as mischievous as it may be lo commit the gross
errors of taste that I was guilty of in my day "
"I don't relish four-letter words in a
newspaper. Yet it is wise to leave them alone
and let them do what they want to do
Yoder said that criticism of the student
newspaper should come from students in the
form of student referendum to revoke financial
support of the paper.
"Due process is necessary as far as student
self-government is concerned in an area where
the student ought to have something
approaching autonomy Yoder added.
Trial slated
for editor
The editor-in-chicl and cartoonist of
Fountainhead will be tried by the University
Board this week on charges of "abusive and
obscene language
Editor Bev Denny and Ken Fnch. cartoonist,
received summons in the office of ECU
President Leo Jenkins on Friday afternoon.
Dean of Student Allans James Tucker served
the notices.
The judicial action is a result of the editorial
cartoon which appeared in the Thursday, May
13 edition of Fountainhead.
The charges specified that the editorial
cartoon contained "abusive, vulgar, obscene
language" and that such woids are "obscene
and abusive to the dignity of the office of the
president of ECU" and are "abusive and
repugnant to the faculty, administrttion, and
students of the University community "
Charges further specified that the words used
were "in derogation of the commonly accepted
contemporary standards of ordinary decency
which prevail wjthlfl the University
community" and are "totally without
redeeming social value
The Univer'itv Board tried former
Fountainhead Robert Thonen and Bill Schell,
who wrote a letter to the editor containing
alleged "obscene and abusive" language last
week. Ai a result, Thonen was suspended from
school and Schell was given a sentence of
?ur -ended suspension
Dissent discussed
at press convention
By BOB ROBINSON
(Special to Fountainhead)
GOLDSBORO "I felt that the closing of
Bill Schell's letter to the editor summed up how
students felt about Dr. Jenkins former
Fountainhead editor Bob Thonen told the 50
peisons attending the Eastern North Carolina
Press Association convention here Friday.
Thonen and SGA President Glenn Croshaw
had been invited to participate in the meeting's
panel on "Dissent and Press Coverage" two
months before he was suspended from the
University.
The Association is an organization of daily
and weekly newspapers east of Raleigh Most of
them have conservative editorial policies.
The panel had been planned as a general
discussion of dissent and the press's
responsibility in covering dissent, bu the recent
developments at ECU were the topics of both
Thonen and Croshaw's presentation.
Thonen said that he had had the letter and
its closing checked by a lawyer and that he was
advised that it was in no way illegal. The letter
was published as part of his policy of making
the editorial page open to all viewpoints
expressed on campus.
"Although I personally feel that four-letter
words do not accomplish what I want to do
Thonen said. "I realize that there is a group of
people that do things a different way. including
using four letter words
He said that he thought that these people
were sincere in feeling that the use of these
words accomplished a useful purpose and that
he did not feel he should dictate to these
people.
"I have very strong feelings as to what a
newspaper should and should not do. I cannot
profess one set of values and practice another
To ignore the cxistance of four-letter words and
!h ir use in everyday conversation by not
puhlisl ing them would be hypocracy
rh( en told the assembled editors and
publishers that the paper had refused no
expression of opinion presented for publication
except those that were libelous.
Croshaw said that he had suggested that the
selection of the Publications Board be done by
popular election to give the students who are
the newspaper's subscribers more control over
the paper.
Dr. Jenkins said. "Wc can't do that, lhe
people who want four letter words will vote
and those who are against them won't
Croshaw said.
L.F Amburn. editor of the Chowan Herald,
asked Croshaw what his position on the use of
fourictters words was.
"1 don't know whether legally I can say what
should or should not be published he said.
"Dr. Jenkins has told me now is the rime for
strong leadership to slop it His position during
the visitation controversy was thai wc did not
need strong leadership, but should sit back and
keep quiet
"1 think that we have to realize two things
Gene Price, editor of the Goldsboro
News-Argus said. "First, there is a difference in
the readership and second there is a difference
in lawyers
He noted that Fountainhead did not have a
"family" readership and thai the papet's lawyer
was probably more liberal than his lawyer He
asked. "If other issues are so important, why
risk the controversy caused by the words
Thonen replied that the same sort of
language had been used m the past and there
was no attempt to punish the persons
responsible. He fell that there was an attempt
made this time because the language was
directed towards Dr. Jenkins and because of
past editorial positions.
At the close of the meeting several of the
editors present talked to Thonen and Croshaw
personally about the situation that has
developed on the campus in the past few weeks.
Several of the journalists present expressed
disapproval of the use of obscene language, but
noted that they had been favorably impressed
by the presentation made by the two students.
Faculty Senate to vote
on semester system
Change to a semester system for ECU may
become a reality if a proposed motion before
the Faculty Senate is passed Tuesday.
Fall of 1972 is set as the date of the
transition between the present quarter system
nad the semester system according to Dr
Robert Mayberry of the Calendar Committee.
"Better blocks of time" will result according
lo Maybeiry if the change is made. Emphasizing
"no Saturday classes" Mayberry said the
proposed calendar is much more workable than
the present system. He bases this on the
proposed exam schedule and school's early
dismissal.
"Our present system of exams is
anti-intellectual commented Mayberry. "In
the quarter system a student may have up to
three exams a day and little time to study " In
the proposed system there would be a nine day
exam period with only two exams scheduled
per day.
The proposed system set for tall semester
1972 would make registration day August 29
(Tuesday) and semesters end December 20, last
day of exams September 4. Labor Day. and
November 22-27, Thanksgiving, would be
holidays.
Between fall and spring semester would be
almost a full month of vacation. Students
would report back to ECU January 15 for
registration, classes would begin the 16th.
March 16-26 would be spring vacation, class'
would end April 30 and exams May
Commencement would be May 13.
There would be two summer school sessions
?
First session would run from June 5 to July 12
and second session July 13 to August IK
During first session July 4 July I I would be
vacation days.
Change to a semesKi system may help ease
employment problems, said Mayberry "II we
don't go 10 lhe semester system I don't know
about finding suiumei jobs Othei schools,
such as Duke and Caiolina. already on the
semester system get out weeks before 1(1 The
students from other schools have a "jump on

under the semester system at Chapel Hill.
"Every attempt will be made to make the
transition period easy" both for students and
teachers according I Maybeiry. Describing
himself as very encouraged so far" about
passage of the measure. Mayberry commented
that one teacher had even worked out a
detailed semester schedule for 1972.
If the measure is passed by the Faculty
Senate it will move to the President of the
University and the Board of Trustees for
consideration. The purpose of the Calendar
Committee is to work out the best workable
calendar for the University
Mayberry feels this proposal will be
beneficial to students and faculty.

lii August ol 1970, the Alumni Association
began doing things differently.
"When asking for contributions to East
Caroline University, mail campaigns are good.
but they soon reach a saturation point, a point
of dimishing returns. Records will show that
the percentage ol favorable responses rise
significantly when alumni are asked to give by
fellow alumni making personal visits said
Donald Leggett. director ol Alumni Affairs.
This was the beginning of the "personal
appeal" drive lor more funds for I l t
The contributions received are used in
various ways The money goes into faculty
development, faculty research, the
supplementing of state salaries, the attracting of
outstanding students to ECU, and university
development
?GIVING CLUBS'
"Giving clubs" were also established in the
tall of 1970. Alumni who contribute as much as
$1,000 to the alumni association are initiated
into the President's Club, and receive special
recognition as such by President Jenkins at the
Alumni Day banquet.
There is also a "500 Society" and a "100
Society" foi alumni who give amounts of $500
and $100 respectively, in one fiscal year
The most successful giving club is the
"Coffee Club whereby an alumnus can
contribute the price of a cup of coffee per day
to their alma mater, totalling $36.50 a year.
There are 110 members of hthe coffee club,
said la;ggett
Alumni can also give by allowing their banks
to dralt a certain amount from their accounts
at r?gular intervals, or by using their
BankAmencards or credit cards marked
"Interbank "
There are five or six mailing campaigns a
year, and these are sometimes combined with
invitations to the .Alumni Day activities or
Homecoming announcements. Alumni Day this
year will be May 29, said Leggett
RECEIVE TWO PUBLICATIONS
The active members of the alumni, which
number 1.500 regularly receive two alumni
publications, the magazine "Report and the
newspaper. "Impact These publications keep
alumni informed of academic and campus news.
Leggett ,s the editor of "Impact" and Margaret
Blanchard of the journalism department is the
associate editor.
The average gift to the Loyalty Fund during
the first part of the fiscal year of 1970 was
approximately $15, and the average annual
tund gift to state supported institutions of
higher education in North Carolina in 1968-69
was $21.
One ot the largest contributions did not
come through the alumni office, but was
bequeathed to ECU from Sarah E. Clement.
The $50,000 contribution was used to establish r
the Sarah E. Clement Loan Fund for ECU
students, said Leggett
Clement was a 76-year-old retired school
teacher who attended ECU when it was a
two-year school for teachers. She graduated
from ECU in 1915
"At present, most of the money donated to
ECU is used for maintaining the alumni office.
The publications and postage for mailing
campaigns use up much of this money At the
end of the fiscal year, June 30, the amount
received will bo tallied up and the remaining
funds will go to the school said Leggett.

Patent Orientation has become a vital part of
East Carolina's orientation program according
to James Mallory. director of orientation.
"Many of the parents coming to orientation
are tirst-generation parents stated Mallory.
"This means that they are sending a member
of their family to college for the first time
These parents know little about college life,
and with this in mind an orientation program
has been planned to answer their questions.
The program conincides with the freshman
orientation so that parents can take advantage
of being on campus as a result of bringing their
sons and daughters to orientation.
While their youths are taking math tests,
toreign language tests, and ha ing their ID cards
made, the parents are taking 'art in a question
and answer session m Wright Auditorium.
"They are addressed by Dr. Donald Bailey of
the General College, someone from the
infirmary. nd a student leader said Mallory
People from other departments also speak to
the parents, explaining the various phases of
ccrlege.
The grading system is explained so that
parents may know how to interpret the grade
reports they will receive at the end of each
quarter.
Finances are explained and financial aid is
discussed under the leadership of Robert
Boudreaux, the financial aid officer.
After each speaker finishes the parents may
ask questions. "Questions which may seem
trivial to us arc important to them staled
Mallory.
"We have had a good response to our parent
orientation program he added "Parents
appreciate attention and someone showing an
interest in them he said
Parents are served coffee and doughnuts
about halfway through the session of questions
and answers. This offers them an opportunity
to mingle with faculty, student leaders, anil
other parents. They have a chance to digest
what they have heard and think of more
questions.
"Sometimes these sessions last as long as
three hours continued Mallory. "We use
Wright for parent orientation because it is largo
and comfortably cool
When the session in Wright is over parents
may visit any part of the campus they wish.
Student guides are provided Parents may also
attend and take part in the programs planned to
orient freshmen to campus life.
Mallory feels that the parent orientation has
been a success so far. Backing this up is the fact
that other colleges and universities are using thy
parent orientation plan at ECU as a model to
set up their own parent orientation programs

By THOMAS HAINES
(Special to Fnuntainhcad)
The University system in America is
probably the finest educational plan in the
world Bui all plans have then pitfalls,
diawbacks. or inconsistencies due to either
poor management, inferior members, feeble
structures, or uncontrollable outside forces.
such as lack of proper funds or scarcity of
talent. Despite these possible obstacles the
United States educational system manages to
educate the uneducated, instruct the
unmstructed and infrom the uninformed in a
(airly sound and constructive manner. We are
advancing by degrees and each step brings us in
greater control of our mind and its capabilities.
One of the major drawbacks is that in any
lour year learning situation, it is easy for a
student to become stagnate or stiffled in his
progress. A student might possibly fall into a
routine which causes lamess, loss of interest.
or boredom, putting the brake on the learning
process, thus halthing the development of the
intellect This can especially be true of those
involved in art. where the imagination,
sensitivity, and creativity of an individual must
be constantly functioning. Some possible
solutions are transfer, involvement with a
personal love of one aspect ol a particular field,
re-evaluation of personal interests, or a program
of independent study.
A quarter of independent study, if at all
feasible lor the particular individual, is the most
desirable solution and the course that I
selected. This is more practical for someone like
an art major as opposed to the more academic
fields.
After selecting four courses from the
curriculum independent photography,
independent figure drawing, drawing and
American art history I obtained a letter of
introduction from Dean Gra. I stalled the
journey by car on March II, 1971 and began
visiting art schools and departments throughout
the South in one, two or three day intervals.
After presenting the letter of introduction. I
would be given permission to attend any class.
I'd then select one of the four courses and
attend the session, working on drawings,
photographs, or listening to lectures.
Occasionally I was fortunate enough to
attend lectures by guest speakers of national
renown, for example. Sam Gillan of
Washington. D.C. The visiting of various classes
at different ait institutions opened up whole
new, areas of learning. I was introduced to new
ideas, techniques, processes, methods and
equipment, and met many dynamic instructors
and talented students. And it's an academic
crime that everyone in are isn't able to pursue
tin course in American Art History in this
manner. A tar better understanding,
appreciation and respect for American art can
be obtained by actually seeing John
Baiitiiberg's "Johnny's First Trip" at the
I i iverafty of Illinois, walking through the
Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at
Yale University, getting involved with the
feeling and emotion in Jackson Pollock's "No.
I" in New York tity, or studying closly the
gnlluork in Baroness Pontalba's buildings in
New Orleans. Louisiana.
In ihe course of traveling I visited 41 art
Schools and departments including the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston
School of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Pratt
Institute of Art and Design, the Cleveland
Institute ol Art and ihe Rhode Island School of
Design These schools belong to the National
Association ol Schools of Art I also visited 40
art galleries and 23 major cities in the United
States, covering a total of 7,400 miles. With the
exception of gas. costs were almost
non-existent. My expenses for this spring
quarter were less than for this past winter
quarter. From the time I left until the day I
returned (51 days) I spent a total of mo on
places to stay and less than $45 on food.
Almost everywhere I went I stayed in Pi Kappa
Alpha fraternity houses ton two occasions
when there was not a chapter I stayed In the
nearest fraternity house) I received the "red
carpet" treatment in 100 per cent of the cases,
along with a bed and a meal Co-operation in
every facet of the trip, from art school deans to
the local police was exceptional
ECU's School of Art is equivalent to or
superior than almoal ever) othei an school in
the countr) as is studem ?i4 and classroom
instruction. There are. however, some vet)

Dramatic poetry presentations
enriched by musical selections
By JOHN WALLACE
(Rev lews Editor)
The recent East Carolina Playhouse
production, Jules Feiffer's "Little Murders
was little more than slow death for the
audience. Several times this year the Playhouse
has given less than satisfying productions of
good plays. This presentation was a mediocre
version of a bad play
There were funny lines, however After all.
it's supposed to be a comedy. The best laughs
however, relied an the worst aspects o human
character Except on one or to occasions, all
the high points depended on low humor But
the play has other faults.
Feiffer. as the author, tries to say things the
play does not. He has his characters lament the
tragedy of role playing, welcome big brother's
televised world, seek nauseating forms of
freedom, and give thanks to the valor ki their
immigrant parents. Feiffer strings these little
segmented comments together on a very weak
thread that can hardly be called a plot, unless
its the plot where his murderers are buned. His
characters, as he would have us believe of
people, do not talk to each other, yet Feiffer
does not refrain from lecturing the audience
When he tries to say something, the action
stops and the theater turns into a classroom.
His thoughts, what ones he has. stand out as
little uncut semi-precious stones that are
nothing more than unconvincing cliches which
lack any semblance of unity. After the audience
figures out that the "little murders" are the
psychological barbs people exchange in their
everyday living, the play is reduced to a series
of trite parallels between the little apartment,
the little lives, and the big outside world.
Feifer succeeds only in combining vulgar
situation comedy and black humor in his
attempt to become a dramatic Gahan Wilson.
He titillates the audience with four letter words
the theater can eet away with but which
television can't The story takes place in ar.
apartment on the upper west side of New York,
but Feiffer seems to have written it for an
audience who aspires to live on the east side
overlooking the park, of lor upper middle class
businessmen and their wives who live on Long
Island overlooking their neighbors' back yards.
Presenting a New York play with little
though and even less genuine action for a
Greenville audience was certainly a challenge
for the director. Joseph Stockdale The
production was handled professionally with a
tremendous amount of attention given to every
detail of action. Since the play tended to be on
one level, there was little opportunity for the
director to bring out any depth of character in
the actors.
Stockdale's direction did provide several
interesting moments. Kirk Thayer's hippie
minister's entrance before the wedding
provided comic relief after long stretches of
endless monologues Stockdale's positioning of
Amanda Muir over the prostrate Mark Ramsey
on the sofa presented a ludicrous situation that
couldn't help but remind one of a beefy
Brunhilde leaning over an underfed Siegfried
James Slaughter's "call-me-anything-
but-Carol" Newquist almost made it Slaughter
entered with good lines but the tenseness he
radiated prevented him from truly convincing
the audience he was the character he portrayed
He always seemed one step away from where he
wanted to be
Anita Brehm'S Mrs Newquist was delightful.
Having to overcome the stereotyped New York
mother a la Portnoy. Miss Brehm almost
provided the parody she was playing.
Chris Jones was excellent in his role as tnc
mother and sister dominated son. He was wiry
and wispy. quick and vibrant. From his second
act entrance carrying a foot long cigarette
holder until the end of the play, he enlivened
the action with the most seemingly insignificant
movements. When Slaughter breaks into
hy mi tames over television monitoring, he is
unable to do with all the movements ol ins
entire body what Jones does by merely turning
a page or by men lj shifting his position in his
chair.
As the Newquisi daughter, Patsy. Miss Muii
met the demands of the rather undemanding
role. With a sugary smile spi uting lines
sounding like rejects from a weekly column hy
Norman Vincent Peaie. Miss Muir looked like a
successful cross between Doris Day and Bern
Grahle minus the shouldei pads. After she
verbally kills her husband, she is shot through
the head Ju itice triumphed.
Mark Ramsey's portrayal of Allied
Chambeilain. the apathist. was a little
transparent. He was too passive in the beginning
and then a little too active after his
transformation.
Since some productions take the liberty il
cutting Shakespeare, one wondered why this
one didn't cut Gregory Smith's monologue
which he delivered as if he were suffering from
vocal dysentery His words and actions echoed
the outstanding performance given by the ofl
stage commode
Franc Wieczerzak's frustrated policeman
could have been tunny, as it was it was only
forced. One small gem was Jim Flemming's
unnamed wedding guest Flemming. no maliei
what he does on stage, has a tendency to
dominate the action
"Little Murders' should have committed
suicide. The play doesn't really comment on
people, either real oi in aginary (
corned) Feiffei demonstrates much mote
expertise on the drawing hoard than he does on
the stage Perhaps he should stay in those
realms in which he can besi manifest those
talents for which he is most famous.
Smoke Jr. recovering
By ROBERT MARINER
(Special to F oun ta in head)
"Tonight we shall attempt
to show that an evening of
poetry need not be only words,
words and more words
With I his definition of
purpose, Maxim Tabory began
the dramatic presentation of
his own poetry and translations
last Tuesday night in the
University Union, and as the
program progressed, it showed
Tabory's attempt to be
successful
Daniel Irvine, Emily
Cameron, Fran Conklin, Kit
Hunter, Joyce Carraway, and
Woody Thurman joined
Tabory as readers and gave the
poetry vocal variety. This
variety increased still more
with the alternation between
individual and choral readings
Carefully arranged paintings
and sculptures added to the
visual impact of the
presentation, and Bob Wallace
intensified the changing moods
of the program by projecting
complementary lighting effects
onto the stage His changing of
the spotlights size, color,
intensity, and position
contributed an enetgy without
which the performance would
have been weakened
Proving Tabory's belief that
"human feeluigs and emotions
transcend national borders and
harriers of language the
evening's musical selections
ranged from the haunting
"Casta Diva" to a hearty
Russian love song and Joan
Bae's rendition of "Love
Minus ZeroNo Limit The
music enriched, not merely
echoed, the shifting tones of
the poetry
Of course, the poetry itself
remained the crucial element
of the program, the other arts,
this evening, were its
subordinates. Kit Hunter and
Daniel Irvine read "Helen of
Troy" effectively, evoking the
mythical yet immortal allure of
ancient Greece.
Woody Thurman moved the
audience with another kind of
night in "The Night, The
Dieam. and the Tortures
whose title indicates ihe fear,
frustration, and air ol
half-reality Thurman had to
master.
Thurman and Irvine
dramatized the opposing forces
of evil and good, violence and
love in "Thous Shalt Not Kill "
The other par formers
supported the dramatization
by choral reading and by
raising their aims, during ils
climax, to symbolize the
affirmation ol optimism and
kindness over the worldly
"practicality" which condones
wir This part ol the program
was undoubtedly the most
dramatic.
However. Tabory himself
gave the program its direction
and drive IIi choice ol
materials, sensitive leading, and
unselfish sharing ol the stage
combined to make him a
winning artist Even in
excerpts, his cycle of poems
called "The Ship
communicated intense ideas
with daring but convincing
imagery.
The Fine Arts Committee
and its president, Christophei
Ward, sponsored this
multi-media approach.
Hopefully, n will inspire more
suJi attempts in the future.

Publications on brink
Monday the Student Government
Legislature voted not to approve the
appropriation to the Publications Board
which would allow the publishing of the
Rebel and the kv
"he ! cgislulure's logic was that there
had been no Rebel for fall and winter
quarters, so. because they had already
appropriated money for the Rebel for
fall and winter, they needed no money
for spring
On the surface this action seems
logical, until one understands the entire
situation.
In fall quarter, a Rebel was put
together, which cost much more than
was originally intended by the old
Publications Board
The editor sent the lav out lor the
book to the printer, but the printing ot
the Rebel was halted because ol gross
inconsistencies in the general format.
The stones and pictures were to be used
in future Rebels. am. a new "Super
Rebel was to be printed in spring
quarter
In winter quarter, the Legislature
voted S4.000 out ot the Rebel's budget
to pay for convention travel for the
Popular Entertainment Committee
Early this quarter, the Publications
Board allowed the Rebel to pay lor costs
incurred by the fall book
Monday. the Rebel had approximately
S3.000 in their budget. S4.000 less than
what was needed to print their book
Ihe kev asked for $5,000 for
publication.
Now the Legislature declares that the
students do not want either the Rebel or
the Kev. but would rather have the
Marching Pirates get to (Ire nville tour
dav s early so that we can have a band to
plav at our first football game.
A special session ot the legislature is
to be held this week to appro1 e certain
budgets. We urge the legislature to
reconsider their vote concerning these
two publications.
Fortunately for the students ot East
Carolina the new Publications Board will
have the funds guaranteed to them by
their By-Laws, and hopeful!) this
situation will not occur again
'You don't graduate'
Have you had a good "shock"lately?
Perhaps you are a graduating senior and
have recently learned that you will not
graduate
After tour. five, or more years ot
preparation for the big dav of
graduation, many seniors have been told
bv the registrar's office to cancel their
plans tor getting a diploma at least for
the present
The source ot the problem is usually
failure to fill out three cards. From these
cards diplomas are ordered, graduation
programs are printed, and approval for
graduation is given bv the ECU Board of
Trustees. Once the list has been turned
in. no additions may be made
Failure to fill out these three cards is
usualK a result ot the student's advisor
not telling him that this must be done
Seniors must fill out senior summary
sheets which are approved bv their
advisor And the chairman of the
student's department, thus, the student
is in contact with his advisor and should
be told at this tune the results ot failure
to till out the three magic cards in the
registrar's office.
According to the University catalogue.
the so-called "application for
graduation" must be made two and a
half quarters before a student intends to
graduate. But how many students make
a practice of reading the catalogue
Seniors in the situation of not
graduating this spring will receive their
diplomas at the 1972 graduation. Their
official transcript'will indicate that they
graduated in the summer of 1971 instead
of the spring.
However. Registrar Worth Baker has
been quite generous in allowing students
in this situation to go through the
ceremonies next week to appease their
families and relatives. The only problem
at this point is getting a cap and gown in
time.
To keep many students from going
this disappointment in years to come,
the registrar's office should institute a
more efficient program of
communication to graduating seniors.
Perhaps one or two advisors in each
department handling only senior advisees
could be of benefit Yet these advisors
should go through some sort of training
program and be well aware of their
duties and responsibilities.
Parents, especially, tend to be enished
upon learning after thousands of dollars
and years of encouragement that the
Polariod picture of Mom and Dad with
Junior in his cap and gown, proudly
holding his diploma will not be captured
for another year.
Find a Skinner box
Cramming time is about to begin.
With the onset of final examinations
next week, many students will find out.
if they have not already, that they do
not know how to study
I ery student has his own system of
studying yet a perfect formula for
efficient learning has yet to be devised.
However, some guidelines might help a
few students in their quarterly cramming
exercises
Psychological studies show that
massed practice, or try mg to learn in one
long, continous session, is more effective
lor learning and retaining information
than studying a little bit every day or
two. So at this point in the quarter, all
n ighl not be lost after all.
The ideal setting for learning is a kind
of Skinner box a place that lacks
visual stimuli and is as soundproof as
possible. It is also important to study in
the same place for each study sessieJfi.
Comfort is not essential. In fact, tension
aids in learning.
Strav thoughts tend to interfere with
studying and there is little way to keep
these from happening However, a note
pad kept nearby for writing down things
to do later will help get the student's
mind back to what he is studying.
Reward is important in learning. A
student can reward himself by taking a
break from his books. Yet breaks should
not be long enough to get the student
out of the mood of what he is doing.
Mentally reciting what has just been
studied is essential for learning.
Psychologists say that more time should
be spent reciting than reading.
Recitation also offers a reward in itself.
After reciting information, the student
knows that he has learned it. Forgetting
occurs from activities which take place
between study time and test time. So the
fewer non-related things a student does
between studying and the test, the less
likely he is to forget the material.
It is usually better to study alone.
Before beginning to study, a person
should decide first how much material
he will cover and second how much time
he is going to spend on the material. The
attitude of "I'll see how it goes once I
start" is not conducive to learning.
Academics often hav a way of
becoming secondary to college students
until exam times. Thus cramming has
become a ritual. If enough Skinner boxes
can be located on campus before exams,
possibly all will not be lost.

Freedom to listen
To Fountainhead:
We are deeply saddened to see Thonen
relieved of his duties as editor and his
suspension from school.
Once a person is censored from speaking his
or her personal feelings toward another, be it
abusive or complimentary. where is the line
then drawn0 From then on the field is
unlimited to vvhrer one group of people can
silence others. That group could then shelter
one from information concerning politics,
religion, sex. education, and so on. Their
reasoning behind it may be the shock or offense
the information may give to others, so their
answer is censorship But any risks of scandal or
shock is the price of freedom and liberty and
they are well worth any personal hurts anyone
may receive
Freedom to speak one's mind is extremely
important but it goes along with the freedom to
listen to the next mans beliefs or opinions.

Arbitrary moralism
To Fountainhead:
The visitation situation at ECU has been
followed with interest by some ir. Chapel Hill
for many reasons, not the least of which is the
bill now before the N.C. state legislature to
abolish at all state supported institutions of
higher education. Needless to say. this is a
matter of importance to many students
The latest incident in the ECU situation does
little to support the students stand which is
unfortunate because the maneuvering in
actuality points out the weakness and
hypocrisy in the stand of the establishment. 1
am curious to know why the student who
wrote the letter to Jenkins using one of the
more popular four letter words and the editor
who printed it were both suspended. In the
story printed here, it was made perfectly
obvious what the word was and yet our editor
remains in office. There are many synonyms
and many words that rhyme with this particular
word and yet none of these raise a similar
uproar Back in the days when it was vulgar to
openly discuss sex. I can understand the
concern over its usage, but there is no
inherently vulgar nature to be found in this
word and the truth is that its obscenity rests in
arbitrary teachings passed down through the
years Slang expressions of this nature are
vulgar only if that is the way the .eader takes
them and that is certainly not the faulty of the
writer. This arbitrary moralism is symptomatic
of the problems we face.
Which brings up a question abuut the
motivations behind the attempt to abolish
visitation. It is said that the privileges are being
abused by students who are cohabitating with
the sanction of the universities. I don't deny
the possibility of this happening, but the
motivations of our esteemed legislators in
Raleigh seem e more those of envy and
hypocrisy than anything else. I dare say that
the gentleman there have cast more than a
cursory glance upon occasion at their
secretaries or other attractive females with
questionable designsOur political circles in this
country are certainly not bastions of
moralism. Perhaps the only difference between
the students and the politicians is the fact that
fear of damage to reputation or careet has put
the latter in the position of mental moral
terpitude rather than the more satisfying
physical form. If indeed it has.

The final joke
To Fountainhead:
Compulsory gradation exercises. What a
joke. The final joke.

Don't blame Jenkins
To Fountainhead:
Although Dr Leo Jenkins is a staunch
Democrat and I personally am firmly opposed
to the philosophy and policies of that political
party. I feel I must come to his defense as a
politician and administrator for this university.
It is really quite shocking to see the naivete
expressed by several members of the student
body in approaching Jenkins' actions. It has
been pointed out that he spends a great deal of
time politicking in Raleigh. However, it was due
to Jenkins' politicking that ECC became ECU.
It was due to Jenkins' politicking that ECU is
now in a position to establish doctoral
programs in several of its departments. For
those who are unfamiliar with state supported
education systems, N.C. colleges and
universities can do nothing without funds from
the Legislature and it is due to Jenkins' political
prowess that this university received funds to
build the PhysicsScience complex, the Music
Building, and the social studies building, not to
mention Austin and Rawl classroom buildings,
the Croatan soda shop, the library extension,
etc. It must also be realized that Jenkins is not
the only person to have "say so" on the policies
of ECU. Dr. Jenkins must convince a Board of
Trustees, a governor and a state legislature of
the need and worth of any program concerning
Cartoon not a personal attack
By KEN FINCH
Last Friday Bev Denny and 1 went tu talk
with President Leo W. Jenkins having heard
that the editorial cartoon in Thursday's
Fountainhead had greatly upset him and that
Bev and I might subsequently be brought
before the University Board on the same
charges as Bill Schell and Bob Thonen.
Speaking for myself, I gave Jenkins the benefit
of the doubt; I believed that he would be
reasonable enough to at least hear me out as to
my intentions in drawing the cartoon. After
deliberately making us wait on hour and a half
Jenkins linally granted us an audience. Or so we
thought It turned out that Jenkins was only
allowing us to be his audience for a briel tirade
in the "filth" being printed in Fountainhead,
after which he had Dean I ucker present us with
charges.
I had never talked with Jenkins before and
despite some familiarity with his performance
as President of this University, I was surprized
at the low tactics he employed, apparently
hoping to intimidate Bev and myself. "So
you're Finch. I just wondered what you looked
like This he mumbled, probably realizing the
line was not as appropriate as when he called
Bill Schell in just to deliver it and apparently he
was not interested even in what I looked like
since I could never catch his eyes in mine "(Ve
had better people than you attack me, y0u
know "I didn't attack you . May I say a
few words?" "Save your ammunition for the
trial Then, in my presence, he told Bev that
she should realize I was "not really her friend"
that I had somehow "conned" her and had taken
advantage of her.
My cartoon was not a personal attack on
Jenkins but a journalistic criticism of the
President of East Carolina University. 1 did not
say "Fuck You, Leo but simply included that
phrase in my cartoon in the same manner in
which it was included in many articles in
Fountainhead in past weeks. In fact, the phrase
is not original to Fountainhead and may be
found on a number of bathroom stall doors on
this campus. The "Fuck you, Leo" on the door
in my cartoon was merely a reflection of this
circumstance.
Moreover, my cartoons are never directed at
Jenkins but rather, are for the students of East
Carolina according to my conception of
Fountainhead as solely a student paper I
believe the cartoon, Including the phrase "Fuck
you, Leo" expresses popular student opinion
among those students here who bother to have
any opinion. If I am wrong I am guilty only of
a misjudgment. I fail to see that 1 have ofUnded
and abused the "faculty, administration, and
students of East Carolina" as Dean Tucker has
charged or that he could possibly presume to
represent all these parties as he will attempt to
do at the forthcoming trials Thursday.
ECU. In the light of the tremendous progress
made in supplying the physical needs tor
education here. Jenkins cannot and should not
be criticized for decisions made above his head
concerning student conduct
To point to the specific issue of dorm
visitation policy, let me remind the student
body that a mere two months ago. this
university enjoyed 28 hours per week visitation
in men's dorms and nearly 26 hours per week in
women's dorms It has been said by faculty and
administrative members in private that, because
visitation policy was working so well two
months ago. expanded visitation policy was to
be instituted in the fall along with the coed and
unlimited hours women's dorms Had Jenkins
really wanted to squelch visitation, this would
never have been considered in the first place
However, only because certain greedy students
wanted every thing all at once was an issue evei
raised; had no issue been raised, ECU would
probably have gotten extended visitation in the
fall, coed dorms, etc. because it was all being
done quietly Due to a bloc of headline
conscious no-minds, though, we now have no
visitation at all and will not get any in the
foreseeable future. This decision was taken out
of the nands of Jenkins by the Board of
Trustees because the students had made it a
public issue with the legislature and parents
across the state. The Board's decision was
naturally a negative reaction to the problem the
students had invented Can anyone, then, blame
Jenkins for the effects rendered by a too-hasty
bloc of unthinking students0 I'm sure Jenkins
could care less enough one way or the other
about visitation so long as everything is quiet
enough for him to politic for more money for
ECU. Instead, however, he was forced to take a
public stand and that stand had to be according
to what was most pleasing to those from whom
ECU would get more money. Let's face it. What
do we want1 All the visitation in the world and
a school that stagnates because the legislature
won't give it any more money or an educational
institution which can quietly adopt more liberal
social rules if no one gets too greedy'1 We once
had more than we are going to get next year.
Don't blame Jenkins for what we've brought
upon ourselves.

Court test needed
To Fountainhead.
The visitation issue and its final disposition
by the Board of Trustees seems to raise the
question of what has become of the "equal
protection" clause of the U.S. Constitution and
the law of the land clause of the State
Constitution.
The federal courts have repeatedly ruled that
the "in loco parentis" doctrine no longer is
applicable to schools supported by funds raised
by taxation
Is it equal protection to deny a person the
right to freely entertain any person of his own
choosing regardless of sex, in his domicile even
if it is a dorm room, when those of us the same
age that work and rent or own our residents
have this right? I hardly think so.
A simple court test should be made of the
issue. It is my belief that the courts would grant
visitation far beyond what the students have
repeatedly begged to have.
