Staff Writer
Foui students in the Industrial Arts
Department's Power Technology Laboratory
seem to be getting then feel of the ground.
Michael Raab. Jim Shalow, Jim Steen and
Charles Satterfield plan completion ol a lour
pastenget hovercraft which ii no under
construction by February
Undei the direction ol assistam profestoi
Paul I Waldrop Jr . the Power Technology
Laboratory lias mod to initiate such programs
since its conception Hie cost of such a
program ranges from $40 to SI20. depending
upon the materials used The cost is shared b
both the participants jnd the department
Waldrop staled lhal the idea ol the
hovercraft started in 1939 with the helicoptei
Modern hovercraft! have capacities tor
several hundred people Such cralis can be
"found in England, France and the United
States
The pictured hovercraft, costing SI 20. has a
seating capacity ol onl) one A 3V4 horsepowei
engine powers the crafl enabling it to travel
35-40 nip h. Wood, wue and plastic Stabilizing
rods are the craft's other components
The operator maneuvers the craft laterally
by shifting his weight and directly ahead by
controlling the rear rudder An air cushion
supplied by the plastic skirt maintains the
craft's altitude. The craft will go little higher
than its skirt's length. The skirt's sie also
determines the terrain it may cover due to the
necessity of keeping an even air cushion
beneath it.
( onstruction for the new. larger land-water
hovercraft will entail a slight variation from the
previous craft Its nine by eleven foot
oval-shape will consist of a horizontal and
vertical thrust engine totaling six horsepower.
Tentative body plans consist ot a lighter,
aluminum covering and a styrofoam flotation
system for an approximate weight of 200
pounds Speeds of 3540 m.p.h may be reached
with a four person capacity.
Raab stated that two horizontal rudders and
a vertical rudder located behind the horizontal
thrust prop will control and increase the
maneuverability A braking system is still being
devised According to Shalow. "It works like an
airboat the kind seen on Flipper
Students eligible voters
MUNCIE, Indiana (ITS)-Ball Stale
University students won a votei registration
victory last Friday when the IS. District Court
in Indianapolis issued a permanent restraining
order making Students eligible to vote
Judge William 1 Sleekier issued the
injunction on behall ol the eight Ball State
l niversity students who had charged
discrimination in votei registration
INDIANA LAW
I he issue arose over a clause in Indiana's
I I'M voter registration law which excludes
votei registration in a county to those who
"have come foi temporary employment,
educalion.il oi othei purposes merely without
the Intention ol making such county his
permanent home
The eight itudetni contended that anyone
should be able to legistei il they meet all other
requirements and intend to make the counts
their home for an indefinite time
The injunction prevents the Delaware
County Registration Board from requiring
affidavits from students which aren't required
from non-students.
PERMANENT INJUNCTION ISSUED
I lie permanent injunction was the
outgrowth of a temporary restraining order
issued b Judge Steckler on September 30 This
order allowed the students only two days to
regisler to vote before the October 4th
deadline
Only about 500 of the school's 17.000
students registered under the temporary
restraining order and the newly enfranchised
students had little impact on Tuesday's
election
Undei the permanent injunction, students
need to live in the slate six months, the counts
foi 60 days, and the precinct for 30 das s in
oidei to legister to vote.
Ravenna. Ohio fCPS)-On a recommendation
from the Attorney General of Ohio, William
Brown, the remaining 20 indictments of the
Kent 25 have been dropped due to lack of
evidence.
George Jenkins, assistant to the Attorney
General said "The indictments were dropped
on a legal basis, not on a moral or emotion one
The decision in Mars Helen Nicholas's trial had
a substantial effect on the decision " Nicholas
was acquitted Tuesday, Dec. 7. in Ravenna
court
"There is nothing we can do in relation to
the five trials that have taken place People that
have been found guilty or have pleaded guilty
are obviously guilty Any more actions
concerning them will be up to the defendant
and the court he continued. The five who
have been tried are Jerry Rupe. charged with
arson, assault on a fireman, interfering 'it a
fireman, and first degree nothe was cornted

Reactions to the Tuesday. Dec. 7,
announcements were for the most part happy

Arthur Krause. father ot Alison Krause.

the Lord those twenty people will no longer
have to live under that umbrella ot fear I hope
and pray justice will have mercy on those who
have pleaded guilty This proves the judicial
system does work Bill Slocum, Kent State
student body president, commented "We are
beginning to turn the tide of injustice
Dropping the indictments made sense in view
of actions in federal court. The next issue is
convening a federal grand jury to investigate
unresolved questions
Tom Lough, KSL' sociology professor and
one of the Kent 25. expressed-his joy saying.
"It is very good news After eighteen months of
being in an unpleasant state ot mind and

By Dr. C GULATI
Special to FLouni8inha,
Since the conclusion ol the
World Wai ii ihen, uvc been
quite a lew realignment! of
nattosul boundariei, and
among theie the most
conspicoua, and the most
lignificanl are those which have
led la the dh iiion 1 countries
to loini new sutes. The
creation ol Pakistan in I'M?
oui ol an undivided India is
one oi those divisions. A
Shooting war is going on. on
the Indian sub-continent at
present. Iheie is perhaps, no
greatei unnatural division of a
Country than the one ol India
in 1.9 4 7 India was
predominant!) Hindu, and
Pakistan predominantly
Moslem I bus. religion was the
basis i iiu' dividion of the
subcontinent of India which
the leaders ol India were
forced to accept as a price loi
freedom from the British
ruleis
COMMON BONDS
I- economically i he i w o
regions, now two countries,
were complementary the
Indian legion had industries,
and the Pakistan region
produced raw materials. After
the partition. India was forced
to produce the raw materials
on the land which was not tit
for them Pakistan slatted
using its scarce resources on
the development of the
industnes which n could have
used fot the production ol
food jnd other raw materials.
Both Hindus and Moslems bad
cultural bonds and spoke the
same language Hindus ol West
Pakistan, and north, and west
India spoke the common
languages. Hindi. I rdu and

named Rabindei Nath Tagore,
who was the recipient of the
Nobel Prize in Literature in
1912 All in all. Hindus and
Moslems of Pakistan have so
much in common as to be
indistinguishable No wonder
that these people are very good
11 lends outside their own
countries including the United
Stales
Not only was the division of
the Indian subcontinent
unnatural because of strong
ties between the people of that
sub-continent but it was
ridiculous the way in which
Pakistan was created Smd. the
North-west Frontlet province,
and the western half of Punjab
together formed what is known
as West Pakistan last Pakistan,
formed out of the eastern half
ol Bengal province, was cut oft
by over a thousand miles of
Indian territory The lack of
any land route connecting West
and last Pakistan made il
impossible that these two
people would ever be
integrated In fact, it has been
a general feeling among last
Pakistanis that they were
considered inferior to West
Pakistanis and were
discriminated against
BASES OF CONFLICT
Out of a total population of
140 million of combined
Pakistan. Last Pakistan has 75
million Pakistan's major
export earning product! are
jute goods and lea which are
produced in Last Pakistan.
I hese bring In some 65" ol
Pakistan's foreign exchange
earnings The bulk of these
foreign exchange earnings are
spent on the mdustrializaiton
program in the West.
Goods produced by West
Pakistan industries are sold at
higher puces as the import
from neighboring India is
banned. The capital of Pakistan
is located in the West Pakistan
Since 1958, Pakistan has been
ruled by military generals The
military group is made up of
West Pakistanis Besides the
Urdu language, the language ol
65 million West Pakistanis, was
made the national language of
all Pakistan, including those of
75 million Last Pakistanis who
speak Bengali
DEMAND FOR AUTONOMY
These were a few reasons
tor the east Pakistanis to
demand some measure of
autonomy, so that they could
improve their lot. It was on
this platform of autonomy,
that the Awami League Party
headed by Sheikh
Mujib ur-Rahman contested
the general elections, first ever
held in Pakistan in December
1970 The results brought a
thumping majority for that
party, not only in the state
assembly but also in the
national assembly
On that account, the Sheikh
was to become the Prime
Minister of Pakistan and his
parly could have formed the
government in Last Pakistan as
well. But the results did not
suit either President Yahya
Khan or Pro-Peking West
Pakistani leader Zulfikar
Bhutto. The opening of the
National assembly was
repeatedly postponed. This led
to the stiffening of the
demands of the Awami League
verging close to cesession.
On March 15. 1971,
President Yahya Khan flew to
Dacca, the capital of East
Pakistan, to confer with Shirkh
M uij ib-ui Rahman He left
promptly on the pretext of
studying the demands of the
Awami League But actually he
sent a massive number of
troops from West Pakistan. On
March 25. 1971. Sheikh
Muib-ur-Rahman was arrested
and sent to West Pakistani jail
(where he is held on the
charges of treason,) then the
reign of terror was lei loose on
the unarmed East Bengali
Moslems and Hindus alike
Students, professors and the
Awami party leaders were their
immediate targets, apparently
to smash the Bengali
leadership Village after village
was burnt, property looted,
young boys over 14 shot, and
women between II and 35
raped repeatedly. During the
eight months, ovet 10 million
East Pakistanis have fled into
India The recent events
leading to a war between India
and Pakistan and the
recognition of independent
Bangla Desh (meaning, land of
Bengal) by India are too
familiar to need narration here
NEEDED LESSONS
What lessons do we learn
from this war'1 The division of
the Indian sub-continent was
unnatural and therefore
foolish. A division of land
based only on religion is an
anachronism in the 20th
century Such an unnatural
division does not solve any
problem, nor does it reduce
any international tension.
Cannot India and Pakistan
become one country again, not
be conquest, but by consent0
Has anybody in the United
Nations, either the United
States or the Soviet Union.
tried for this reunification of
the sub-continent Let us not
waste our time in blaming
either India or Pakistan for
starting the war. (In fact the
great powers themselves are
responsible for creating a gulf
between India and Pakistan by
giving them military aid. The
United States especially has
been showing unnecessary
favoritism toward Pakistan by
entering into a military alliance
in 19 54 in the name of
SEATO, and failing to
condemn her when that
country's army butchered
hundreds of thousands of
Bengalis after March 25. 1971 )
Let us start ways to bring
these two warring brother!
together once again Certainly
there were not so much
differences between these two
peoples before the division ol
the country as there are today
The reunion between India and
Pakistan is possible because
there is so much common
between these two countries
Anyone who can achieve this
reunion is certainly a candidate
for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Last year, when he led the team in scoring. Norris was voted
the top swiinmei in the conference as he won the "Most Valuable
Swimmer" award at the conference meet.
This year he serves as team cocaptain, and coach Scharl
readily voices his approval

is looked up to for it
In the water, this physical education major possesses
everything needed to excel as he does.

championship swimmer says Scharl
Norris also works hard at becoming better, as he works out
regularly al the pool, twice a day
WINNERS
"Guys who aie the really tough swimmers will be doing this
says the coach "Kids like this are the ones who really make up
their minds to do something, and they do ii. The winners at the

Scharf rates Norris as a definite prospect to become ECU'S
first All-American swimmer at the university level, and he is well
on his way already this season.
Saturday against Maryland and South Florida, he won the
200-yard Butterfly event, which the coaches had rated as
probably the toughest one of the meet
In doing so, he beat a South Florida swimmer who was the
national champion last year, and a Maryland swimmer who was
also among the best in the nation

Scharf also enjoy s coaching Norris.
"He listens well and learns fast says Scharf "He's a good guy

Intramural poll
With this poll, Fountainhead hopes to determine the
value of the ECU intramural program, student interests
related to it, and methods to improve the setup.
It is hoped that enough students take part in the poll
that the results may be valid enough to bring about
desired changes. Results o the poll will be printed from
time to time and the physical education department will
be notified of all student requests.
Please fill out the poll and deliver to the
Fountainhead office, second floor Wright, or mail to

i malnutration 1 sil and watch
! Ik'lpk'ssh .is our stomach swells and
1 oiii arms and legs shrink Your

country who .irv able to say that
they know someone who actually
died ihis way, bul .isk .in of the
Pakastani refugees and they will
testify to the facl thai people do die
of protein malnutrition
Every day t housa n ds ol
improvished and homeless Pakastani
refugees cross the border into India
and the results of then pilgrimage
have been disastrous
India which is undernourished and
overpopulated as it is. is not able to
handle the extra burden that the
refugees present
The refugees need iood that India
is not able to give them As a result
the refugees are dying rapidly either
from disease or malnutrition It is
estimated thai SO of the children
under five years of age will die in
the next few months because of
protein malnutrition.
It is presently costing India $700
million to teed and care for the
refugees Only 385! of this sum was
pledged by foreign countries. The
U S has pledged $83 million.
Where will the rest of the money
come from'
Nobody in India seems to know
where they will get the money. The
way they see it the situation will not
change and more people will die
needlessly
It a country like the U S. can
afford to spend billions of dollars to
kill people in Vietnam, they can
certainly spend another billion to
save people in India
If an organization the size of the
Catholic Church can afford to buy
each of its American priests a new
car each ear. it can certainly afford
to give money to hungry and dying
people
But people tend to ignore these
type ot situations and instead they
worry themselves with petty,
insignificant problems.
All that I can say is that if these
people are allowed to die when they :
can be helped, I will be ashamed to
admit that I am a member of the
human race
Clay views Jenkins' Memo
By TOMMY CLAY
SGA President
Dr Jenkins' memo typifies, the usual
vagueness and lack of planning in the ECU
administration The ideas presented are of
mixed quality-tome having great potential and
some totally ridiculous. The Advisorv
Committee on Program and Budget
Implications is long overdue.
Too often, actions have been taken without
proper consideration of the consequences.
However, the proposed committee structure
leaves much to be desired The committee is
noticably lacking in student and teaching
faculty representation Since it is these groups
who suffer the most from poor planning, it
would seem that the students and faculty-
should be represented
The specific proposals can be judged on their
obvious merit, or lack ol it Some of the
suggestions are indeed progressive and should
be welcomed by the students and faculty
The reduction in hours is in line with a
recent reduction in general education
requirements It should allow students more
time to pursue their own academic interests.
The proposal to "increase the number of hours
that may be transferred from other institutions
and applied toward graduate degrees" should be
beneficial to the graduate students by allowing
them to devote more time to their research
The suggestion to encourage credit by
examination and independent study is long
overdue
The catalog says that any course may be
passed by examination However, in most cases,
there is no bypass exam. Finally, the
cost savings balancing technique will be doubly
beneficial It will reduce the frivolous spending
of money and will encourage departments to
eliminate Ol revise their inferior courses and
programs.
The merging of overlapping senior and
graduate level courses will be beneficial only it
no qualitv is lost If graduate students would
suffer from inferior merged courses, or it
undergraduates would be forced into courses
they couldn't handle, then no one will benefit.
The final two suggestions are, at best, the
product of misdirected good intentions. The
suggestion to "discontinue courses that are not
basic to degree programs or general education
requirements" goes against all academic ideals.
It would effectively deny students the right to
pursue their personal interests
. One characteristic of an academic
community is that it allows and encourages its
members to pursue their own academic
interests. The other suggestion is probably the
most ludicrous. Dr Jenkins suggests, "Close
undergraduate courses that do not appear likely
to enroll at least 20 students when the
preregistration analysis is available
To outsiders, this may seem to be a feasible
economic solution to the rising cost of higher
education However, Dr. Jenkins should have
known better. If his suggestion were followed
to the letter, perhaps half of the degrees offered
at East Carolina would have to be eliminated.
Further, students and teachers are almost
unanimous in their agreement that smaller, not
larger, classes are the ideal The key point of
higher education is communication, and
communication is best handled on an individual
level.
Finally. I would call on all members of the
ECU academic community to study Dr.
Jenkins' proposal carefully. Constructive
reform has long been needed at East Carolina
and should be welcomed by all.
However, not all of the suggestions are
constructive The University community should
organize to further the intellectual growth of
East Carolina University, even if it means
opposing Dr. Jenkins.
In spite of the benefits derivable from some
of these suggestions, the University community
should be wary of them. The underlying tone
seems to be one of speeding the education
process Reading between the lines, one can
envision a factory turning out "college
educated people " Education is an art, not a

graduate is the important consideration.

Carolers abused
To Fountainhead:
On the night of December 14. some of the
girls from Jarvis decided to go Christmas
caroling We hoped in this manner we could
arouse some people from their apathy to the
love and brotherhood of Christmas. We were
hoping that everyone would get together and
let it be a sharing experience and in a few cases
we were successful.
Many students criticize President Jenkins,
but we would like to thank Dr and Mrs.
Jenkins for the kind hospitality we received
upon stopping at their home. We also
appreciated the harmonica accompaniment
from Aycock, the singers and listeners from the
wing of Belk closest to Tyler, and the front
porch singers from Jones.
These things gave us the strength to go on.
For the most part however, we were greeted
with derision and abuse in every form ranging
from obscene comments and threats of injury
from rolls of toilet paper, eggs, water ballons
and smoke bombs, to the exhibitionism we
were treated to from Aycock.
It is really weird to think that the guys we
see every day on campus who em so nice, act
like a pack of wild anim when banded
together.
All we can say is that we are sorry that so
many misunderstood our intentions We're also
sorry that we are just little college freshmen
who aren't yet mature enough to understand
the true meaning of Christmas. To quote one
Aycock inhabitant; "Christmas is a commercial
rip-off " Maybe thats what we are learning at
ECU.
Merry Christmas'

Critic replies
To Fountainhead:
This letter is written in response to Miss
McCanless' criticism of my review of the Jethro
Tull concert and Gary Carter's review of the
Bread concert. To start off. let me say that I
did not write two reviews of the concert, one,
before and one after. In the midst of all the
absurdies of her letter, she did present a fact,
nonically intended as sarcasm. I did "enjoy this
group before Homecoming" due to the fact
that I had seem them twice before. For this
reason "Fountainhead" asked me to write an
article on the group before they came, due to
the fact that no promotional material had been
received from the group.
If you have read "Fountainhead" with any
regularity you might have noticed that such
articles are written for virtually everything the
Popular Entertainment Committee has
presented for the purpose of publicity
To clarify another point, writing a review
does not consist of merely attending a concert,
going back and deciding whether you like it,
then writing it down The object is first to
relate what went on at the concert, then to
employ aesthetic principles in evaluating the
concert and substantiating it These reviews are
an analysis, not an opinion, as any person who
reads with any amount of depth and perception
could tell. I myself have several times sacrificed
personal taste as a matter of objectivity and
aesthetic responsibility.
In defense of Mr. Carter, I must first inform
you that hit article was cut down due to space,
and lost much of its substantiation in the
process. Secondly, Mr Carter himself has stated
that he enjoys listening to Bread albums
occaisonally, so he does not present a personal
bias. His criticism of Bread was that they were
accomplished studio musicians, but they were
dull in live performance. Mr. Carter and I did
not collaborate on our reviews. His was written
the day before the Tull concert We do not
write reviews on groups as comparisons with
other groups, but rather evaluate each
performance on its own merits.
Finally, my dear Miss McCanless you fall
prey to that most horrid sin of w.iich you
condemn us, the one for which you call upon
the student body to liberate themselves from.
You are opinionated without being fair. To
quote you: "Criticisms are opinionated as they
always are, but they should also be fair
From my own opinions
For your salvation I suggest you rid yourself
of the idea that Bread was persecuted, take
some freshman English courses to learn what
constitutes critical writing, and go buy a Bread
album and lock youself in your room.

SGA blunders
To Fountainhead:
After reading Tuesdays (Dec 14th) edition
of "Fountainhead" I see that our SGA
Legislature made another blunder among their
achievements for this year Probably in thinking
that they were helping the students, the
legislature only hurt them. I am referring to the
Legislatures move to cut the existing penalties
the Judiciary Branches can use As a member of
the University Board, I felt previous to this
time that we did not have enough penalties to
work with. Then we had seven after the
legislature's move, we now have only five. The
only penalty we had that was somewhere
between "light" and "heavy" was done away
with. I feel the way the penalties exist after the
legislatures move will result in harsher penalties
for the students. Our choices are: warning;
(which is like a pat on the hand), a reprimand;
(only a written warning), social probation;
(does not permit student to take place in
extra-curricular activities (how many ECU
student out of 10,000 come under this), and
does not permit inter-dorm visitation) after
these three come suspended suspension, and
suspension.
As you can see there is not much to work
with, especially when the "Key" states that a
penalty should be rehabilitative for the
offender The legislature is not a qualified body
to set up the total number of penalties for the
judiciary. Some type of committee should have
been set up with members from all three bodies
to make a list of penalties.Theonly result I can
see from the legislature's actions is the
extinction of the student judiciary system and
its takeover by members of the administration.

Warns shoplifters
To Fountainhead:
This is a plea and a warning to shoplifters
like myself and my roonute. Here at
Christmas-the season of giving-we found
ourselves short of money and decided to take.
Scared and clumsy, we were caught by two
watchful managers. These two men put us
through the most traumatic experience we've
ever had
i
They laid it on the line-we'd be taken to jail,
bond posted, kicked out of school, have a trial
and likely spend some time in prison, not to
mention beinging branded with a criminal
record. Something to laugh at-not any more.
We were scared to death and begged for our
lives. Aside from ourselves, we think now of the
men running the store and of how hard it must
be to make a profit if there are people
constantly stealing from them.
We were very, very lucky-the managers let us
go on a simple promise that we would steal no
more. We wonder how many they let go who
keep on stealing-it's a chance they are taking.
My roommate and I would just like to say-think
about it first and don't steal-the consequences
are too high!

Compares schools
To Fountainhead:
I am a transfer student from Ohio Wesleyan
University In many ways this small Methodist
college was quite similar to ECU. Like ECU
Ohio Wesleyan imposes (1) many male
chauvanistic and dated rules and regulations
upon their women students. Like ECU. Ohio
Wesleyan felt that it should act as "Big Mommy
and Big Daddy" to all its many "children "
Well, Ohio Wesleyan like ECU was not "one,
big, happy family" as a result of this childish
treatment'
Instead of providing a healthy atmosphere
for its student body, ECU insists on creating a
stiffling, unnatural environment. East Carolina
declares that its purposes are "to offer a
practical education and to promote research in
order to serve a free society
By restricting male-female interaction to a
specified day. a specified hour, ECU is
enforcing the continuance of an unfree society.
If communication lines are kept open, it is
amanng how much one can gain from
INTELLECTUAL intercourse with a member
of the opposite sex. However, ECU must not
feel that its students are mature enough to
handle free experiences and real
communication. It is a sad state of affairs when
a university feels that the freedom to choose
one's own hours policy, the ability for college
students to act as adults, and the desire of
women to be treated with equal justice and
respect to men are new ideas.
By permitting ECU to put a tax on the
amount of time each week you spend relating
to members of the opposite sex, you are
allowing ECU to place a tax on an education
that is, as important to your future
development as your classroom education.
