Greenville, North Carolina
Social Services Center
dedicated
Wednesday, June 30, 197J
Operated in Greenville
T h c M o y e w o o d
neighborhood Social Services
Center was officially dedicated
on Friday (June 25). Speakers
for the ceremony were
representatives of ECU, the
city of Greenville, and other
public officials.
ECU, through its Division of
Continuing Education, is
directing the programs at the
Center. Mrs. Brenda H. Teel of
the DEC staff is Center
director.
According to Dr. Davii
Middleton, dean of DEC:
"The primary purpose of
the center is to provide an
educational and social service
center for the residents of west
Greenville and the Moyewood
housing area.
"We hope that the Center
will become a focal point for
those people who need
assistance. Some agencies have
begui, coming to the area on a
regular l sis already, now that
there is a meeting place
The facility contains a large
assembly room, reading rooms,
small conference rooms,
kitchen facilities and day-care
facilities The day-care facilities
are not yet in operation
however.
At the present time, Pin
Technical Institute. Pit
County Department of Social
Services, Pitt County
Extension Service, Sheppard
Memorial Library and
neighborhood groups such as
Girl Scouts and Senior Citizens
are using the building.
ECU President Leo Jenkins
was one of the dedication
speakers. He said that "The
Moyewood Social Services
Center can truly become an
outstanding example of how
local citizens, a city
government, a university and
other educational institutions,
and various community
agencies can cooperate for the
benefit of the citizenry
Narc sheds his hair;
reveals true identity
Bedroom bill killed
EDITOR'S NOTE: The
following article ran in the
Goldsboro News-Argus, The
Charlotte Observer, and other
papers. The version printed
here is somewhat shortened
but it has not been edited; the
wording remains that of the
editor of the News Argus. Thus
the perspective, explicit or
implied, on police agents, drugs
and what he terms the
"hippie" culture is his and not
necessarily ours. We reprint it
solely as a revealing
commentary on undercover
drug agents and how they
operate.
The controversial "bedroom
bill" designed to stop college
students from visiting dorm
rooms of the opposite sex was
killed in a Senate committee
June 22.
Wake Senator Jyles Coggins
argued in vain for his bill which
would wipe out college
visitation privileges, saying, "I
think we all know what
happens and what goes on" in
the don.i rooms. The Senate
Higher Education Committee
voted 11 to 4 against giving the
bill a favorable report.
University officials from
several schools appeared at a
hearing on the bill last week to
ask that the legislature leave
the matter of dorm room
visitation up to individual
boards of trustees.
A number of schools across
the state, including the
University of North Carolina,
now have regulations which
permit students to visit the
dorm rooms of students of the
opposite sex during certain
hours.
Speaking in favor of his bill
Coggins said, "I know it's the
tendency of some of you to
say, 'Oh, let's let the University
do everything they want, we're
sophisticated and
broadminded which is a lot of
hooey, just like those
patronizing platitudes to young
people, 'Oh, let them make the
decisions
Referring to booklets
distributed by the colleges on
venereal d isease and
contraception, Coggins said:
"When an 18-year-old chile
who's never been away from
home goes to school and they
give him this book that tells
them how to keep from getting
pregnant and then invite them
to go to their rooms and turn
on the music and study it -
what do you think they're
going to do7 Study Einstein's
theory?"
Several senators appeared
irked with Coggins' remarks,
and at one point when Coggins
rose to speak in defense of his
bill a second time. Senator Neil
Jones, D-Anson, moaned: "For
crying out loud
Visitation at ECU was
ended by the Board of Trustees
in April after a lengthy verbal
battle between students and
administration on the subject
Student newspaper bill
remains off Senate floor
Compiled from AP releases and
other sources.
The Senate beat down
efforts to bring to the floor
Friday a bill that would have
allowed college students at
state supported institutions to
decline to pay fees for student
newspapers.
Two weeks ago the bill had
been given an unfavorable
report by the Senate Higher
Education Committee, but
Senator Julian Allsbrook,
D-Halifax, the bill's sponsor,
gathered enough support to get
the committee's minority
report considered for action on
the Senate floor.
Allsbrook introduced the
bill after the Daily Tar Heel,
University of North Carolina's
newspaper, published a picture
of two males in a homosexual
embrace. The picture
accompanied a story on
homosexuality on the Chapel
Hill campus.
"Students who do not want
this smut in their mailbox
should not be required to pay
fees for those newspapers
Allsbrook said.
The bill gained more
support when the
Foun tain head published
four-letter obscenities in a
cartoon attacking Leo Jenkins.
Allsbrook circulated copies of
both newspapers on the Senate
floor while seeking support for
his bill.
After Senator Neil Jones
D-Anson, a Duke University
alumnus attacked the bill
Friday the minority report was
laid to final rest.
Jones said the bill "is i
subterfuge to get the Daily Tar
Heel and any other college
newspapers. These newspapc:s
depend on the money from
students to survive. They serve
a good, useful purpose
"1 know a witch-hunt when
I see one, and this is a
witch-hunt he said.
The Senate voted 21 to 15
against the minority report.
Jenkins doesn't give up
Reprinted from Raleigh News
and Observer of June 25, 1971
Hopes for a new art building
have not waned at ECU. Dr.
Leo Jenkins announced last
week he's still pushing for the
$3.7 million building even
though the legislature's joint
appropriations committee has
not recommended it be
included in the state budget.
Jenkins was the only
university president in
attendance last week when the
joint appropriations committee
unveiled the budget proposal ??
and Jenkins is the only
president who has announced
he'll fight to get a bigger slice
of the budget for this school.
"I rcprel that the art
building was not funded in the
budget, but many members (of
the General Assembly) have
pledged their support to this
project and they know its
urgency Jenkins said.
He added that should
attempts to get the art building
in the budget fail, it will be
included in the proposed
statewide bond issue.

Editor Greensboro News-Argus
GOLDSBORO - Earl
Manning has come in from the
cold.
He was out there for two
years hanging out in the
dope dens, bedding down in
the crash pads, scorned by the
"straight" people, harassed by
police and living in constant
danger of the addicts and dope
pushers with whom he ran.
Behind his scraggly beard
and long hair and beads and
hippie attire. Earl Manning was
one of the straight people. He
assumed the role of a hippie to
spy on the dope world and
serve as an informant for law
enforcement agencies across
the state of North Carolina. He
did it on his own, without pay.
Two years and almost 300
narcotics arrests later. Earl
Manning is rejoining the world
of the straight people.
In the dope world the
names Scotty Williams, Jim
Walker, Chuck Duke, Chris
Cox and John Everette were all
beginning to merge into one
person. And that one person
, was Earl Manning.
And the dope crackdowns
in Fayetteville, New Bern,
Greenville, Goldsboro, Rocky
Mount, Tarboro, Wilson, Buies
Creek and Raleigh and the
sudden disappearances of Earl
Manning, by whatever name,
were beginning to be regarded
as more than coincidence.
In short, he had blown
virtually all of his covers.
He sat in the office of the
Goldsboro News-Argus. He was
trim and neat in a business suit.
His appearance was a far cry
from that of Earl Manning who
chatted with a newsman on the
night of October 8, 1970. Tha
was the night the State Bureau
of Investigation and local
authorities swooped down on
the Goldsboro dope dens and
made 26 arrests many of
them on heroin charges.
Earl Manning had been
working for months ir
Goldsboro as an informant.
His methods here were
typical of those employed
elsewhere.
He had moved into the area
and looked for a job. He founc
one first with a grocery store.
The store owner became
DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN? At the left is how
undercover drug informer Earl Manning looked when he
was supplying information to police in several eastern
North Carolina cities, including Greenville. At right is
how he looks today.
concerned over Manning's
activities. Whether he was an
undercover man or a dope
pusher, he was considered
dangerous. Manning was fired.
Later he was hired as a
delivery man. He worked hard
and despite his hippie
appearance, the employer was
satisfied with his new man's
performance.
It was not easy for Earl
Manning. For while he worked
hard all day, he spent the
nights hanging out in the
haunts of dope pushers and
dope ushers. He was readily
accepted. There had been other
cities and towns and he knew
well the language of the people
with whom he ran.
As he lived in "crash pads"
and made the nighttime rounds
in the dope world, Manning
passed a steady stream of
information on to the State
Bureau of Investigation.
He arranged introductions
between people who wanted to
sell heroin and marijuana and a
fellow hippie who was willing
to make purchases. The fellow
hippie in this case was a
full-time undercover agent of
the SBI.
When the crackdowns were
made on the "crash pads" Earl
Manning operated m th
shadows, often using a portable
two-way radio to tip officers
as to whereabouts of fleeing
dopesters.
Then, as the jail cells filled.
Earl Manning s:ole away in the
night
In the early morning of
October 9, after the crackdown
in Goldsboro, Manning glanced
at the watch, set in the heavy
leather band on his arm, and
snapped, "I've got to get out of
here before the sun comes up
Where would he go0
Manning grinned. "I have
another 'job' waiting for me "
The "job" was in Greenville.
And a few months later the
news broke of drug
crackdowns there. By then.
Earl Manning, or Scotty
Williams or Chris Cox was
crashing a pad somewhere else,
laying the groundwork for still
another crackdown.
He was not paid by any law
enforcement agencies for his
activities. He was. for the most
part, self-supporting. A Wayne
County group of private
citizens and a Sunday School
Association did send him some
money once in appreciation of
the work he had done.
Seldom was he known to
local law enforcement officers.
As a result, they suspected him
along with others of being a
dope pusher or addict. He
sometimes was arrested on the
slightest infraction.
"That's part of it. You can
operate better when the heat is
on you. Everybody seems to
know who local police are
putting the heat on. It helped
me in my business
For example, a fellow
nformant in one town was
told by a law enforcement
agent to "try to make" two
"big time operators" in the
Fayettevile area The
informant confided in his
roommate that the law was
after the two operators.
The roommate, in turn,
tipped off friends in college
and very quickly hippies
contacted the two "big time
operators" to warn them that
the heat was on.
The "big time operators"
were undercover agents and as
a result of the "leak" they
were readily accepted in the
dope world.
Who is Earl Manning? And
why did he. on his own and
without pay, go "out in the
cold?"
Earl Manning was born 26
years ago in Wilmington. "And
it wasn't with a silver spoon in
my mouth he hurries to say.
His father is a disabled
veteran. His mother works as a
maid in the public school
system of an eastern
community
He dropped out of high
school to enter the Marine
Corps and completed his
education while in service In
the Marines, he managed to be
where the action was. He
served in the Dominican
Republic du-ing the revolution
there and went on to Vietnam,
where he rose to the rank of
sergeant
He was discharged from
service in 1968 "I just got
tired of it
He accepted a job with
Burns detective agency and
"ran security" for General
Electric in Wilmington
One day he picked up an
old friend who was
hitchhiking "He was 'doing
drugs' and I became concerned
about it I confided in a law
enforcement officer who might
tell me what I could do . .
"He was a sheriffs deputy.
He told me what a problem
jrugs had become and how
many kids were being hooked
and ruined and said 1 could
help if 1 could find out
something about their
operations "
Manning called again on his
friend and asked how he might
make money dealing in the
drug traffic. Gradually he
worked his way into the drug
crowd and became one of
them. "I never used any of it. I
always insisted to them I'd like
to make some money on it
but didn't care to use any of
it he said.
He learned the language and
assumed the dress of the
hippies.
Because some arrests are
still pending in the city where
he first started he is reluctant
to identify it But by the time
he had finished there he had
caught the attention of the SBI
and other agencies
Through them he learned of
problems in other cities and
towns and chose the ones
where it looked like he might
do the most good.
He worked as a short order
cook, a service station
handyman, a delivery boy, as
night manager of a drrve-in
lamburger place and in other
jobs.
He supplied the SBI and at
times other key law
enforcement officers with a
steady stream of information.
When a crackdown came in
one city, Earl Manning beat it
out of town before the smoke
cleared He would arrive in
another city and immediately
be accepted as being running
from the heat of the
crackdown.
Sen. Ervin proposed
Ban lie detectors
WATERMELON FEASTS HAVE been a
tradition at ECU for 15 years. They are
sponsored by the Union with the help of
the Department of Buildings and
Grounds. Feasts will be held on June 30,
July 19, August 4 and 16 at 2:50 p.m.
On the mall. Pnoto by Ro? Mann
WASHINGTON, DC June
24 (Released by the Senate
Constitutional Rights
Subcommittee) Senator Sam
J. Ervin, Jr (D-N.C ). today
proposed that Congress ban the
use of lie detectors for federal
and private employment
purposes. Ervin, chairman of
the Constitutional Rights
Subcommittee, called the lie
detector "twentieth century
witchcraft" and said its use was
"destructive of individual
privacy and constitutional
rights
"Probably no instrument of
modern times so lends itself to
threats to constitutional
guarantees as the polygraph,
the so-called lie detector he
commented.
"Like the primitive tesM of
medieval times, this device, in
the hands of unwise officials of
the federal government, has
been used to compel
law-abiding American citizens
to disclose all manner of
personal information.
"They have been compelled
to disclose such data despite
the guarantees of the First
Amendment which protect the
rights of the individual to the
privacy of his mind and to the
free exercise of his right to
speak as well as his right not to
speak his thoughts
Ervin's bill, which is
scheduled foi introduction in
the Senate today, would
prohibit the use of lie detectors
on applicants for employment
or for purposes of denying
promotions and clearances, or
for discipline or discharge.
Wilful violations would be
punishable by a maximum
penalty of $1,000 fine or out
year in jail or both. Persons
subjected to lie detector tests
in violation of the ban could
also sue in federal court for
money damages or other
necessary rebel.
Along with scientific
findings, court decisions and
state laws, Ervin cited in
support of his proposal a
report issued last year by the
Maritime Trades Department
of the AFL-CIO The report
concluded that use of tttf
detectors amounts to
search and seizure, ?
of the guarantee
self-incrimioatio,
flouting of the
innocence.

Operation Sunshine recruits
girls from poor homes, black
and white, between the ages of
8 and 12. In the summer, the
Sunshine house is open from
JO a.m. to 4 pjn. each week
day. The house will open at 2
p.m. after school starts.
The goal of the Sunshine
program is "to offer girls
experiences that they can't
have at home says Mrs. Wade
"We want to teach then) to
accept themselves with pride "
Qualified teachers and
volunteers instruct the girls in
cooking, sewing, hygiene and
crafts. The group prepares their
own food three times a day at
the Sunshine house at Third
and Pitt Streets The Federal
Food Program provides one
meal and two snacks each day.
Juice and toast are served in
the morning when the girls
arrive, a balanced meal at
lunch, and an afternoon snack.
About 50 are enrolled in
this summer's program, but an
average of 30 girls come to the
house every day Twice a week

to go on out-of-town trips,
Mrs Wade says. "The trips are

misbehaves, she can lose the
opportunity to take a trip to
the beach, to Tryon Palace or
to Raleigh
Money for the trips,

donations of citizens in
Greenville The yearly budget
amounts to about $4,000,

10th Street widened
By EMILY CARTER
Stall w oter
For several years now. the
city of Greenville and many
ECU officials have been hoping
the State Highway Department
would widen Tenth Street, in
order to relieve traffic
congestion and make the reet
safer for student pedestrians
Approval was finally given
in March and construction is
now beginning According to
James Lowry. physical plant
director, the construction will
greatly improve the safety ol
more useful for everyone.
At present. Tenth is a hhfy
congested two-lane street.
Students often complain that it
is nearly impossible to cross at
rush hours. Widening the street
is becoming essential to
improving the flow of traffic.
I n the widening process,
L wry says that no university
property on the north side of
Tenth Street will be involved.
However, almost all
right-of-way land bordering on
the north side will be used
This land already belongs to
The only land belonging to
ECU that will be involved is a
small section of a parking lot
area. The state has reimbursed
ECU for the property
An improved parking
situation on both sides of
Tenth Street is forseen as a
result of the construction.
Also, a median strip will be
placed in the street, to aid
pedestrian crossing.
The Barrus Construction
Company has already started
work and according to Lowry

North Carolina has the fourth
highest rate of net
"immigration" of college
students in the nation,
according to U N C
demographer Thomas E. Steahr
of the Carolina Population
Center at Chapel Hill
Steahr. who recently made a
study of college student
migration in the U.S. along
with Calvin Schmid of the
University of Washington,
bases his figures on data
collected by the U.S. Office of
Education between 1938 and
1968.
North Carolina has always
been among the highest
"importers" of students,
holding fifth place in the
nation back in 1938, says
Steahr
In 1968. 33,214 graduate
and undergraduate students
came to North Carolina's
public and private institutions
from other states, while only
I 1,578 of North Carolina's
college students left to study
elsewhere.
This means that for every
North Carolina student who
left the slate to study
elsewhere, approximately three
students came in to replace
him.
Only three other states, the
District of Columbia,
Massachusetts, and Indiana,
reported a larger number of net
immigrants in 1968 than North
Carolina.
CHAPEL HILL (AP) One
of the most colorful
institutions of the Chapel Hill
village may be on its way to
becoming a thing of the past.
The Chapel Hill Board of
Aldermen has enacted an
ordinance, effective July 1,
making it illegal for street
venders to hawk their wares on
any of the town's public
sidewalks
For many years the flower
ladies have sat under the shade
of trees along Chapel Hill's
main street selling their
home-grown daisies and corn
flowers.
In recent years, however.
Narc's identity
unknown
longhaired youth from the
University of North Carolina,
located there, have also set up
shop on the sidewalk to hawk
leather goods, paintings and
other wares.
Originally the Aldermen
approved an ordinance banning
the display of all goods on the
sidewalk with the exception of
natural home-grown or
hand-made flowers.
That rule was overturned in
the Superior Court of Orange
County, however, when a
leather goods vendor
successfully challenged it on
'he ground that it was
unlawfully discriminatory.
Drunk in public
CHARLOTTE (AP)
Police chief J.C Goodman has
declined to identify an
undeicover agent who shot an
alleged narcotics dealer to
death.
Goodman said the
policeman's name was being
withheld because of the nature
of his assignment, but that it

weeks.
Goodman claimed the

instrument. The victim was

Novel has serious intent, is comic in form
By MAXIM TABORY
Starr Writer
Travels With My Aunt, by
Graham Greene. 244 pp. New
York: The Viking Press. $5.95.
To say that this novel is
humorous is not enough, for it
is positively hilarious. One
reads it to the accompaniment
of an ever-deepening chuckle.
It begins with a bang and ends
with a bang. No whimpering
here at all. The opening
chapter tells how Henry
Pulling, an unmarried, retired,
middle-aged bank manager
whose only hobby is raising
dahlias, meets his long lost
Aunt Augusta who, at the age
of seventy-five, has "brilliant
red hair, monumentally piled"
and "two big front teeth which
gave her a vital Neanderthal
air" at his mother's cremation
in London. The last paragraph
finds Henry joyfully occupied
in a successful but not honest
business enterprise in Paraguay
with his aunt's favorite lover,
Visconti, to whom she has
recently been reunited and
whom she has just married.
Henry himself is going
marry a girl of sixteen.
to
Read this book. It is
therapeutic. It is funny from
beginning to end. Such a book
is a rarity in this age of doleful,
introspective self-pity. The
style is comic. Here, for
example, is a description ol an
American couple drinking tea
in a hotel in Paris: "One of
them was raising a little bag,
like a drowned animal, from
his cup at the end of a cord. At
that distressing sight I felt very
far away from England
Visconti, talking of his
collaboration with the
Germans in the Second World
War, says, "I have a great
fellow feeling for rats. The
future of the world lies with
rats. God, at least as I imagine
him, created a number of
possibilities in case some of his
prototypes failed that is the
meaning of evolution. One
species would survive, another
would die out. I have never
understood why Protestants

objected so much to the ideas
of Darwin. Perhaps if he had
concentrated on the evolution
of sheep and goats he would
have appealed to the religious
sense Aunt Augusta on the
Orient Express remarks,
"Switzerland is only bearable
covered with snow, like some
people are only bearable under
a sheet
The characters have comic
habits. Henry's father, dead
long before the tale begins,
took afternoon naps in curious
places. Once, as a child, Henry
found him asleep in the bath in
his clothes. He thought his
mother had been cleaning an
overcoat until he heard the
impossible whispered
command, "Bolt the door on
the inside when you go out
O'Toole. an anxious,
melancholy, thin American

had met in England, noisy and
self-confident, with the young

another across the nursery
floor does research in

Monsieur Dambreuse kept
Aunt Augusta and another
mistress in the same hotel in
Paris for six months until by
chance they met having tea in
the same garden. Wordsworth,
named after the bishop, not
the poet, a Siena Leonean,
who is Aunt Augusta's lover
when the story opens, smuggles
pot out of his mistress's
apartment in the urn in which
Henry is taking mother's ashes
to be buried among his dahlias.
The funniest character is
Aunt Augusta, who introduces
herself to Henry and the reader
with the words, "I was present
once at a premature
cremation She is the maiden
aunt par excellence, the type
of English eccentric that is
always played by Margaret
Rutherford or Dame Edith
Evans. Of course, she is neither
a maiden nor an aunt. She
proves to be Henry's mother.
Of her, more aptly than of
Cleopatra, it could be said,
"Age cannot wither her nor
custom stale her infinite
variety Was not Cleopatra a
mere 39 years when she
committed suicide and here is
Aunt Augusta full of lusty life
in her mid-seventies.
Wordsworth is jealous when
Henry goes off one the Orient
Express with the lady. "You

accuses. When Henry points
out that she is his aunt and
even if she were not, she is a
very old lady, Wordsworth
replies, "No one too old for
jig-jig Wordsworth's "bebi
gel" has had varied life. Among
her activities have been
swindling, smuggling, and
prostitution. Now she has
retired from prostitution but is
still smuggling. She certainly is
a swindler. She reminds one
Chaucer's Wife of Bath in her
hearty enjoyment of life. In
spite of her shady dealings only
once in the book do we feel
that she is evil, and that is
when she deserts Wordsworth
when her old lover Visconti is
restored to her.
Nephew Henry, the
narrator, is not evil. Neither is
he good. He is not amusing but
he gives rise to much of the
humor of the book. Not for

him the idea that "one
crowded hour of glorious life is
worth an age without a name
For over half a century he has
been a dull dog but Aunt
Augusta changes things. With
her, he travels a long way both
geographically and
psychologically. He goes to
Brighton. Paris. Istanbul, and
Boulogne before the trip to
South America. He discovers
that his years in the bank
bored him and that before he
met his aunt he'was not really
alive.
To the psychologist Henry
is an interesting illustration of
the influence of environment
When with respectable people
he is respectable. When with
his, to put it mildly,
unconventional aunt, he gives
up his deary but honest way of
looking at things. Of course,
his heredity is bad but that
makes no difference for most of
his life.
Greene's interests are
philosophical and theological
rather than psychological. In
this book he reflects on the
fact that "death closes all" and
that the best way to prepare
for it is to live. Aunt Augusta
could say with Ulysses. "I will
drink life to the lees Henry
has existed "as though to
breathe were life
Greene is teaching that dull
abstinence from evil is not
enough. Life must be
celebrated. Aunt Augusta,
certainly no saint, views life: "I
despise no one. Regret your
actions, if you like that kind of
wallowing in self-pity, but
never, never, despise. Never
presume yours is a better
morality is one that could be
followed by many with profit.
Lack of it has caused much
trouble. Jesus condemned
self-righteousness.
The book ends with an
ironic use of Browning's words:
"God's in His Heaven All's
right with the world Greene
knows all is not right. Serious
in intent, this book is comic in
form and never dull Unlike
many modern novels it has a
plot and the general reader will
find it interesting. For the
thinker, there are greater
treasures to be found in it.

Hooks attended
UNC-Chapel Hill and received
tits A.B then worked on his
masters degree there. While a
graduate student, Hooks was
the Graduate Assistant
intramural Director. From
there, Hooks then served in the
U.S. Army and was stationed
in Stutgart, Germany. While
here he served as the Special
Services Instructor and
Intramural Director.
After returning to the
United States, Hooks took a
position as Director of Physical
Education and baseball coach
at Boy den High School in
Salisbury. In 1959, Hooks
siepped up to college level as
assistant professor of health
and physical education and

Hooks then took the position
of professor and director of

After a four year stay at

to graduate work at George
Peabody College in Nashville,

his doctorate. From there he
was ECU bound.

senior year.
Hooks also is an avid
bicycler, and his family
participates in that outdoor
recreation
The duties of the chairman
of the department are many.
He is responsible for the overall
function of the department. He
schedules classes and the
intramural program. The
control of Minges Coliseum
and Memorial Gymnasium and
the use of these facilities are all
part of the duties that Hooks
will inherit. The office holds
no bind on the athletic
department but Hooks said
that he will work closely with
the chairman of athletics,
coach Clarence Stasavich.
Hooks said that there were
three functions of the
department: instructional,
services to the student, and
research. As far as the
instructional section of the
department is concerned.
Hooks said that there will be a
new way ol leaching a skills
course entailing instruction in
physiological performance
Why a student is learning the
skill is as important as how to
perform the skill.
Hooks has many new ideas
and programs for the
department. There will be
three new programs for the
upcoming year: 1. a Recreation
and Parks and Conservation
major; 2. Recreation Therapy
major, 3. and a School and
Community Health major that
is in conjunction with the
School of Allied Health.
Hooks also had some
visionary plans for the
department. "I am pleased
with the number of students
that are riding bikes. I would
like to have a course about
bike riding that would teach
students the proper adjustment
of the seat and pedals that
would make riding easier and
more enjoyable. Bikes used for
instruction could be loaned out
'Out of the Way' by Gory Gibson
Auto racing spells excitement
In writing about spoi.s for a
ollege newspaper, it is easy to
shove all else aside and focus
on the "name" intercolegtate
?ports. This is the most
important job, but in doing
things this way a large minority
of the sports audience is
forgotten. This summer it is
my aim to reach a part of that
audience with a column called
Out of the Way. This week the
column will deal with auto
racing.
Auto racing in America is
split up into many different
subsections: drag racing,
demolition derbies, etc but
what I would like to talk about
is the major road racing circuit.
Racing in America is a sport,
while in Europe racing news is
reported anywhere but on the
sports page.
There are three major
sanctioning bodies of road
racing in the United States:
The United States Auto Club,
National Stock Car, and the
Sports Car Club of America.
The USAC is in the driver's
seat as far as racing is
concerned in the US. With the
other two units being plagued
with loss of factory backing
and regional squabbles, the
USAC has a pot of gold that
totals over $3,000,000 in
prizes for the 1971 season. They
have six types of racing under
truer control: the Indy cars, a
road racing series, the sprints,
the midgets, the stock cars and
a new classification, dirt track.
The king of the USAC
circuit is the Indy cars. These
cars are part of the
championship circuit which
was won by "Johnny
Lightning Al Unser. These
cars use as their basic engines
the turbo-charged Offenhausers
and Fords. Those that look hot
on the circuit are Unser, Mark
Donahue with his Lola, Mario
Andretti in the Granitelli STP
car, and Dennis Hulme in the
McLaren.
The road races in the USAC
used to be on the
championship run, but the cost
of changing from oval tracks to
road courses became a strain
on the pocketbook, so now
they have their own circuit.
They now use a fairly cheap
stock-block engine that goes
around 320 cubic inches The
main driver on this circuit
would seem to be Sam Posey.
The old sprint cars will leave
the champtonsh'p circuit this
year and have their own nook.
The new division, the Dirt
Championships, will be slightly
enhrged sprint cars. Then
wheelbase will be 96 inches to
the sprinters' 84.
Finally, we have the stock
cars. They hare many
problems. First they have to
compete with NASCAR, which
seems to hold all the stock car
goodies, and then with the
importance of the Indy cars.
I
PETER GREGG takes the lead at VIR, an IMSA event.

drivers in A.J. Foyt, Roger

southern prominence. They
still run the 429 cubic inch
machines, which have been
banished or toned down in
NASCAR
The USAC does seem to be
in good position with the best
all-around program And with
their increased television
coverage, they will be the most
seen in the US.
NASCAR is a work heard in
every part of the south.
Bumper stickers that proclaim
"Richard Petty for President"
are sold by the thousands, and
the stock car drivers arc folk
heroes. But now the factories
have taken away their backing
(Chrysler has only one team
left, Fork none), and Goodyear
is planning on charging for
their tires.
This year also the mentor of
NASCAR, BUI France, has
planned on bringing the cars
back to a more showroom-like
stock car. Without the money
problems this would have been
a real difficulty, but with tight
pocketbooks galore things are
mounting on the heads of the
stockers
Two major changes are
planned, in engines and body
configurations. Engine changes
are vital, the tire makers are
frustrated with the new
high-speed Taledega track.
They could make tires that
could handle the speed, but
they had absolutely no
durability The following was
then done: they restricted the
(low of fuel with a plate that
shut off 716 of the I and 1116
inch gas flow. That lowered tin-
speeds of the cars, and the tires
lasted.
This was only a temporary
cure, because this year the
engines will be reduced from 7
liters to 6 liters or 366 cubic
inches. The independents who
don't have the money to buy
these new engines will be
stuck with the carburetor
plate
The cars look very stock on
the surface, but underneath the
body shop boys had some very
neat chop jobs. This year the
bodies must all be the same
height from the ground to the
top of the car. This gives the
new cars more frontal area, and
the old cars will only have to
push their bodies up in the air
The only factory team will
be Petty Engineering, with
Richard in a new 71
Roadrunner. They will run the
new 366 mini-Hemi at the top;
speed tracks Taledega and
Daytona But they will stick
with the 429 with the plate at
the ovals where the top speed
is around 155 mph. His
teammate. Buddy Baker, will
be driving a 71 Dodge Charger
with the same set-up.
I
Another driver that is sure
to be around or at the top is
David Pearson, backed by
Hoi man-Moody. The
llolman-Moody team will run a
71 Torino on the low speed
tracks and a 69 Cyclone on the
190 mph and up tracks Also,
Fred Lorenen, old-time star,
will jump out of his retirement
and jump into a Ray Fox
Charger Lorenen has the skill,
as he has proved many times in
the past for the Ford team.
K&K Insurance will still be
backing the NASCAR Grand
National Champion Bobby
Isaacs. He will also be receiving
help with his parts from
Chrysler.
Two of the younger names
will be Pete Hamilton, who got
the oust from Richard Petty,
and Richard Brooks. Hamilton
will be teaming up with Cotton
Owens driving a 71
Roadrunner. Brooks, on the
other hand, will be joining the
year's most controversial
engine, the 305 cubic inch
Chaiger belonging to Mario
Rossi. They have the engine up
to 485 lip, and it has been said
to be able to take the distance
As the other factory teams
back out. Chevy seems to be
looking to put their nose hack
in for the first time in a few
years. Bill Ellis will be running
a pair ol Monte Carlos, and his
driver may be Pedro
Rodriguez Pontiac also may
try to pick up on the glory,
and it seems imminent that a
GTO will be on the track this
year.
NASCAR is having their
financial problems, but France
has two tickets out of this
trouble television and
cigarette advertising. NASCAR
will again this year, as in most
others, bring excitement to the
south and to their
bookkeepers.
The final racing organization
is the SCCA The SCCA has
many diflerent interests from
formula cars to Trans-Am The
two biggest for the SCCA are
the Can-Am and the Trans-Am.
The Canadian-American is
the richest race circuit for the
SCCA. The Can-Am is the race
of the Chapparals. the Porches
and the Ferraris The prize
money for the Can-Am adds up
to about $75,000 a race, with a
ten race schedule.
The engines in these cars run
up to around a 494 cubic
incher with about 720 hp The
top drivers for this year are
Swede Savage in the Ti-22, the
best American car, Denny
Hulme, the best team driver for
the McLaren, and possibly the
best in the world, Jackie
Stewart, driving a Lola.
Stewart wants the Can-Am li'le
to add to his list of
achievements.
The other SCCA race of
renown is the Trans-Am

Hooks is very high on the
second of his duties, student
services. Hooks said of the
sports program. "You can
think of this as a triangle, at
the base we teach skills. From
there, some students progress
up and use these skills in the
intramural program and finally
those lew who excel go to the
top and participate in
intercollegiate athletics
Hooks said thai the facilities
will be open more for students.
He hopes that Minges and
Memorial Gymnasium will be
open throughout the weekend
for student use.
Hooks said that he knew
there were many students who
did not participate in team
sports. For these students,
there will be a new system. "I
hope to have a full-scale
equipment check-out said
Hooks, "but most important to

Muhammed Ali free
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
Muhammad All's decision to
refuse induction into the Army
has caused him to live for four
years with the threat ol going
to jail, a late which was spared
hun by a U.S. Supreme Court
decision today
In an K-0 decision the court
reversed All's conviction on
draft evasion, saying that the
record shows ilial his "beliefs
are founded on tenets of the
Muslim religion as he
understands them "
His decision to resist
induction. Ik said, had been
bound up in what he felt to be
his life's purpose, and because
of this he felt at peace with
himself, ready to accept us
consequences
All's defense against the
draft evasion conviction was
based, in part, on the claim
that as a traveling bishop for
the Black Muslims he was
entitled to ministenal
exemption from military duty
He also claimed that he. as a
Negro. was discuminated
against due to the unbalanced
racial composition of draft
boards
In the unsigned decision, the
court said the government has
now fully conceded that Ali's
beliefs are based upon
religious training and belief
as set out in previous
conscientious objector cases.

There have been many
rumors circulating around

that these rumors were tctallv
unfounded
Stasavich said. "We are

Fountainhead regrets the
error of printing the rumoi and

RALEIGH (API Earle
Edwards resigned June 25 as

"I've been thinking about it
a long time Edwards said in

Edwards, in a telepnone

he had first discussed with N.C.

resigning early this month.
The highly respected

Edwards said he had

Peace movement harrassed
By I, F. STONE
Reprinted from If' Stone's Bi-Weekly (May
31, 1971)
The government is moving from the policy
of mass arrest of demonstrators to mass
harassment of the peace movement The
strategy is to tie up leaders and funds in a
multiplicity of actions without worrying much
about evidence, legality or the ultimate
outcome. The tactics recall the indiscriminate
"harassment and interdiction" tactics notorious
in Vietnam, where the U.S. military doesn't
care how main villagers are hurt so long as a
lew guerrillas may be hit. These cynical tactics
are effective up to a point, the point where the
overkill swells the ranks of those the
government is trying to crush. The negative
effects are already apparent here m the District
of Columbia, where passersby were swept up by
the police, and many radicalized by their
experience. A revealing statistic is that of the
first 2.000 May Day arrest cases processed in
the DC. Superior Court, the vast majority were
found not guilty or had the charges against
them dropped. Of those who contested the
charges against them only four were found
guilty.
Of the May Day leadership, Renrue Davis
and John Froines have been arrested for
conspiracy, though no evidence of illegal
plotting or planning was adduced at their
preliminary hearing, only public statements. It
is a strange conspiracy which is carried on in
the open and on TV. Bradford Lyttle, a lifelong
pacifist and a gentle creature, has been arrested
on the preposterous charge of assaulting a
policeman; he claims he was grabbed by the
police from behind outside the Justice
Department and did no more than drop his
bullhorn. Significantly, this is an escalation from
the original charge of disorderly conduct and
prosecution has been taken over from the
District U.S. Attorney by the Internal Security
division of Justice. A special grand jury was
about to be convened when we went to press
and will no doubt be used. Harrisburg and
Seattle style, to put all sorts of people through
the wringer in an effort to elicit testimony
under the threat of contempt.
The House Internal Security Committee has
also swung into action. Its first defeat came
when a Federal Judge, on appeal from the
Schell speaks
To Fountainhead:
It seems that a mistake of sorts is being
made by most people in viewing my trial Most
think il is a case of freedom of speech or of the
press While it is true that these are issues, the
heart of the matter to me is to what degree
should the ECU administration act as a de facto
judge and academic hangman to the students
One ot Judge I.arkins' reasons for issuing a
temporary injunction reinstating Bob Thoncn
was the inequality of the justice administered in
our cases: I. a suspended suspension. Thonen,
removal from school.
With the final trial date approaching in
Thonen's case, Dr Jenkins made an effort by
an application of equal justice, and so, I was
also removed from school
The administration of "justice" by the ECU
administration without benefit of a trial is
distressing witness the ouster of students
arrested in the visitation demonstrations before
guilt or innocence was proven and the
harassment of a grad student acquitted of a
drug charge.
The student who conies to ECU has the right
to induce change in any way protected by the
constitution, contrary to the belief of MA
Tony Harris in a much earlier letter to the
Fountatnhtad,
And when school policy is found to be in
conflict with the constitution, it is that policy
and not the constitution which should be
altered.
Bill Schell
National Peace Action Coalition, ruled that the
committee may no longer seie its bank records
without giving it notice and an opportunity to
challenge the legality of the subpoena. A similar
preliminary ruling was made against Senate
Internal Security last month in a suit by the
Progressive Labor Party. These committees not
only have access by Presidential order to
income tax records but are the only agencies of
government that subpoena bank records
without notice to the owners. This is a curious
way of manifesting their devotion to private
property. The House Committee (by reading
the Trotkyist Militant and the Communist
Daily World) discovered some well-known
Trot.kyists in the leadership of the Peace
Coalition and some well-known Communists in
that of the People's Coalition for Peace and
Justice. Neither fact is a secret, and we believe
the country is too sophisticated, too bored with
the Red menace and too hostile to the Vietnam
war to be impressed by this replay of
McCarthyism. We think the attempted smear
will boomerang.
An 18-year-old testified that Fred Halstead,
who was the Socialist Workers (Trotkyist)
candidate for President in 1968, seemed to be
in charge of the NPAC office because "he had
the key to the Coke machine The revelation
may cost Halstead the nomination in 1972. The
witness who turned him in said he had spent
three nights at the NPAC office stuffing
envelopes to find out what was going on tor the
Freedom Leadership Foundation, a subsidiary
of the Holy Spirit Association for the
Unification of World Christianity started by a
Korean anti-Communist guru. His ecstatic-
followers live in communes and hold an annual
mass marriage in Seoul Sitting on the
Committee, vigilant and militant, was the

When a Birchite can use a Committee of

Special to Fountainhead
More than 55,000 men. women and children
were killed in traffic accidents during 1970.
However, experts see a glimmer of hope in this
statistic.
In 1969 America's highway death toll was
56,500.
Much of the reduction in highway deaths,
according to a survey by The Travelers
Insurance Company, may be attributed to
safety features which have been installed in new
vehicles since 1966. In addition, according to
the firm's annual publication of street and
highway statistics, there may be a growing
awareness by drivers of the need for safer
driving.
The publication, titled "Voice Behind the
Wheel also notes that excessive speed was a
major factor in more than 39 per cent of the
traffic deaths in 1970. Nearly half of the auto
fatalities occurred during weekends andor

Shocking visit
To Fountainhead:
During a recent visit to our capital city,
Washington, D.C I was lucky enough to see
the now famous rock opera "Hair In the
opera were nude bodies, long hair, loud music,
erotic jestures, and dirty, dirty words.
It was really a shock to see these things that
are so foreign to my eyes and ears. I have never
before seen such an alarming display of wanton
freedom. Why, these people on the stage were
down-right "abusive
They slapped me in the face with every curse
word imaginable. They showed me the privacy
of their bodies. These young Americans were
obviously not the typical well-bred Greenville
youths. It's too bad they didn't have Leo
?Jenkins around to straighten them out when
they were in school
I wonder if these actors and actresses in
"Hair" will be expelled from the United States
After all, isn't it the only way to stop all this
dangerous subversion? Shouldn't we just
during hours of darkness.
Though the number of deaths was down, the
number of injuries from vehicular accidents was
up. In 1969, some 4.700.000 persons were
injured on highways in the United States. In
1970. the figure jumped to 5,100,000
Another fact contained in the booklet, one
that has not changed much in several years, is
that drivers under 25 years of age were involved
in more than one-third ot all accidents, fatal
and non-fatal. Yet this group makes up only
one-fifth of all licensed drivers.
Roger C. Wilkins. chairman of the board of
The Travelers, suggests, in a preface to the
booklet, that even with safer cars and highways,
"it will be our acceptance of these safer
automobiles, our continuing piessure on
appropriate authorities, and our
acknowledgment of individual responsibility
that will insure that we reach our goal of fewer
and fewer accidents on our streets and
highways
exterminate all of these free thinking little
whipper-snappers who don't have enough
respect for their elders to get a haircut
I'll bet if Leo Jenkins was the president of
these "United States he'd know what to do
with this problem of today's youngsters (By
the way, can a person be expelled from a
country?)
At any rate, 1 am sure that he would have
the problem under hand Of count, we
wouldn't have to worry about having to pav
$7.50 to see plays like "Hair "
Do you know, Fountainhead, that Hair'
has been doing this sort of stunt for nearly lour
years' When will we see it stopped'1 Lets ask
Leo what to do about it.
