Money lacking
By HORACE R WHITFIELD
Staff Writer
"Like any other department, there are things
we could do if we had more money says Dr
Fred Irons, infirmary director.
According to Vice President C G Moore, the
projected budget for the 1971-7; school year
based on the twelve month period, is S301.974.
The infirmary is limited in "s "�v's by
the fees paid Irons adds. "There's not much
we can do without raising the student fees "
Lvery full-time student pays a medical fee oi
SO each quarter These fees provide the
infirmary with 98.3 of its income The
remainder comes from the resale of drugs
"Our most outstanding need is for an
additional full-time doctor says Irons "And
we have asked for additional staff members "
The Infirmary presently employs three
full-time and two part-time doctors. The rest of
the staff is composed of two secretaries, two
lab technicians. 11 nurses during the regular
school year and eight nurses during the
summer.
Moore states that salaries and fringe benefits
for these professionals comprise 87.8'r of the
- infirmary budget The doctors are budgeted a
total of S87.778. Nurses, secretaries, and
technicians employed by the infirmary have
been budgeted a total of SI47.460 for this

Student committee inquires
into campus infirmary
By JIM COX
Staff Writer
SGA President Tommy Clay and the Student
Affairs Committee have recently begun an
inquiry into the out-patient care and lack oi
ambulance services of the ECU infirmary in
response to the near fatal experience of an ECU
coed January 14.
The coed had been having minoi abdominal
pains and had been visiting the infirmary
legularly since her return from Christmas
vacation She said she was told her case was
diagnosed as not overly serious and she was
given Duadacin and Corieidin.
On Friday night. January 14. the pains grew
much worse and were accompanied with
nausea Aftei another wave oi nausea the girl
suddenly collapsed on the floor of the Delta
Zeta sorority house and was unable to move
A call to the F.Cl' infirmary confirmed there
was a doctor on call but there was no
ambulance and the doctoi did not make house
calls Calls to all the doctors in town affirmed
that none of them made house calls either, with
one exception but he did not see the situation
as an emergency
Deciding the girl was in too much pain to be
transported by themselves, the sisters called Pitt
Memorial Hospital where they were informed
that an ambulance would cost S25.00 and
Medical freafmenf
suggested calling the campus police or the
Rescue Squad
After a call to the campus police and a long
delay in lesponse. Pitt Memorial called back
with the information that an orderly had
volunteered to pick the girl up himself
Meanwhile, the police had arrived at the scene
and said they would take the sufferer to the
infirmary
However, when the orderly from the hospital
arrived and sued up the situation, he
immediately called the Rescue Sqiutd. The
Rescue Squad swiftly dispatched themselves
and by 2:30 that morning the indigent was in
surgery.
The Student Affairs Committee under
Chairwoman Mary Loughran is consulting with
the infirmary officials to obtain their opinions
and then make suggestions on how to cope with
future such problems
Tommy Clay. SGA President has already
informed President Jenkins as well as the Board
of Trustees of the events that occurred on Jan.
14 and has made some suggestions for reform.
Clay has suggested top priority be given to
construction of a new and better equipped
infirmary, the establishment of some sort of
campus ambulance service, and adoption oi a
policy that would provide for campus doctors
and or nurses to visit patients in the dormitory.

A sample survey was taken recently
concerning the treatment of students at the
infirmary
The survey was conducted in the lobby of
Umstead Dormitory. Fifty students,
twenty-five girls and twenty-five boys, were
questioned on how well they felt the infirmary
treated them.
Responses were varied. Two people had
never been to the infirmary, and thirty people
thought that they were treated very badly Ten
people thought that the infirmary was "O.K
and eight people thought the infirmary was
fine.
The most frequent comment was that it took
so long to see a doctor Many students
complained of their ineffeciency One junior
said. "The infirmary is inadequate, the hours
are inappropriate, and I question the
professionalism of the people that work there
A freshman said. "They give you a little
white pill and you're supposedly well. The last
time I went to the infitmary. I had to go home
to my family doctor
Another freshman had this comment, "I
went twice in one week for the same illness
The second time I went. I saw a different
doctor. He asked me what medication I was
taking and I told htm. he said that the
medication was different from the one written
on my record
One girl was very upset by the fact that her
roomate went to the infirmary with
appendicitis, and they refused to call a hospital
because she didn't have her activity card
Five people said when a student goes to the
infirmary with a cold.it's automatically mono.
Ten students thought the infirmary treated
them "OK " The most frequent response from
these students was "They do as good a job as
they can
Light people thought that the infirmary
treatment was fine.
One freshman said. "The nurses are very
nice " Another student was pleased because he
felt sick late one night and went to the
infirmary. He said, 'They called a doctor and
he came right over "
A senior was satisfied with the attention he
received while staying in the infirmary for a
week.
Another student commented, "I like the

Hospital policies explained

Asvstant News Editor
There ha be Hi iu.h oncers and confusion
concerning the admittance of E( U students at
Pitt County Memorial Hospital
Rick Gilstrap. assistant administrator at the
hospital, explained his hospital's policy
"We act in cooperation with the ECU
infirmary Gilstrap. "We do not admit
students under 18 years of age who do not have
a slip from the infirmary. The only exception
being clear emergency cases "
According to Gilstrap. if a case is deemed an
emerge the student would I at the
hospital emerL'i
clearance
Any student over i can be admitted into
the hospital without having to first go to the
infirmary
"The reason for this type of policy" said
Gilstrap. "is that a studenl tinder 18 y ears of
age cannot legally sign the necessary pape'
admittance. The infirmary does this tor them,
but a student over S is not consideie
and is able to sign the papers "
Gilstrap also explained the hospital

Greenville rescue squad

Staff Writer
What can you do in an emergency ' Who can
you call? The Greenville Rescue Squad
"We deal with the unexpected emergency
said Captain George Brannon. of the Greenville
Rescue Squad, "because that's the primary
function of a rescue team "
The Greenville Rescue Squad answers
approximately 1.000 calls a year Brannon said
even though it is the only one of the area
squads that is not on a voluntary basis
"We have squads in Bethel. Fountain Ay den.
Grifton, Farmville. and in 30 days should have
one in Winierville he said, "but they re all on
a voluntary basis
Brannon and one helper are the only
full-time workers in Greenville who are on call
J4 nours a clay
Brannon said the Gteenville Squad did
answer calls on the LCI campus but because ol
previous hoax calls they now check with the
campus police before going to campus.
"We serve the campus but ask assistance
from the campus police as to the emergency of
the situation he added. "We've been ovci to
campus before and the situation turned out to
be a case for the ambulance service or
something We don't transport sick people, we
aid in emergencies
"If a person is sick and needs to go lo the
infirmary or doctor, and can not get a car, the
Pitt Ambulance Service should be ailed
Brannon said. The Rescue Squads in most areas
serve only as rescuers and not transporters
"Most squads simply get people out of
situations that no one else can get them out of,
like out from under cars or some situation that
might call for heavy equipment Brannon
continued "We at the Greenville Squad do
transport victims to the hospital if they 've been
in an emergency, but not in planned trips to the
hospital "
DRUG USERS
Brannon said when calls were answered and
the victim appeared to be under the influence
of drugs, the squad directly turns the mailer
over to the police "We do not touch these
cases unless the victim is out of his head he
said, and then we still .all m the police

Garcia plays acoustic, electric, pedal steel
and slide guitars, not lo mention bass and
piano The blend is petted and mellow,
displaying his rather amazing, though
heretofore unnoticed,dexterity on slide.
MORE UNIFIED SOUND
As usual, Garcia moves into his standard lead
bttak -bonnes. sing song and elastic, yet alw.us
remaining in harmonic structure
In "Bird Song which was done with
Howard Wales on "Hooteroir a an
instrumental, Hunters lyrics are added from
'lie first, showing Garcia lo be the experiment
rather than just the mellow musician
On this side Garcia s technique and precision
is abandoned in favor of a fuller, more unified
sound, and lus guitar work mixes well with his
piano, organ and pedal steel.
One of Garcia's finest vocal performances
ever ,s heard on this side "Suga.ee" ,s pure
country-sad and slow w�h mow of the
emphasis on guitar "Loser a gambler's
lament, is the finest cut on the album
EASV LISTENING
Side two ,s totally different from the t�s,
OccastonalJ) Garcia hursts into brilliance as
with his organ on "lep Hour" on lm piano and
pedal steel ,n "Wheels but even this ,s
�ubdued, creat.ng a somewhat easy listening
sound.
Overall, this album is a success, and a big
one. Garcia approached it with the attitude of a
musical .elf-etudy of his abiliti rathet than a
musical self-rlghteoiiancas over hit sbUiilc and

KHind wind, was as natural as a dusts . red-hot
day in Mississippi.
One group ol musicians which still plays real
rock and roll, and does a line job of it, is the
Allman Brothers, who will perform here
Sunday, Feb 6, at 3 pan, in Mingei Coliseum.
I lies are Southern hoys who grew up listening
to the laic night rhythm and blues radio shows
Which were the "truth and the light" to many
yourtj blues freaks.
Ihe Mliiian Brothers originally consisted of
Diiane and Graf Allman. Dicky Belts. Berry
Oakley, Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny
Johnson However, tragedy struck the band on
Octobet 29th ol last year when guitarist Duane
Allman died in a motorcycle crash. To say that
Duane was not the driving force and natural
leadei of the band would be incorrect Time
and again he rejected the superstar image
thrust on him, but to no avail His untimely
death at the age ol 24 marked a tragic loss for
the music world and the group.
Bui even without the massive talents ol
Duane. the Allman Brothers have continued
playing, laying down their smoking, bluesy
music Beits, who shared lead guitar duties with
Duane. hat taken over all the chores and
amazed listeners with his ability. Brother Greg
still sits atop Ins organ, wailing his vocals in the Sl)und ()aklc's ba! Tying it all together is

Hailing from Macon, Ga the band has cut

Providing a base for the group is the driving their latest, recorded live at the late Fillmore

numbers are "Statesboro Bl es "In Memory

East, where the Allmans became favorites. This
album conies closest to a true portrayal of the
band with its long, reeling iams.
Listening to their recording efforts is one
thing, but only seeing a live performance by
this group can do them, and oneself, justice.
Refusing to stick to strict arrangements, the
members will often take a basic blues number

A serious potential haard lo
the North Carolina estuarme
system is posing itself in the
forms of stream
channelization and certain land
use practices along the Tar
Riser's seven tributaries "
This conclusion came from a
report entitled "Pollution
Studies of Tar River
Tributaries On The North
Carolina Coastal Plain The
study was originated and
conducted completely by
students here at I (I
The idea for the studv came
arn,ut when extensive declines
in lishmg along the Pamhco
estuary became apparent Steve
Benton, a student in the
Geolog) Department at ECU
wanted 10 find oul svhy .
Benton contacted other
interested students after
teaming, of a new program for
i eseai ch ol lei ed by I he
National Science Foundation
I his giant is offered under the
heading "Student Originated
Studies"
Benton and Eric Slaughter, a
graduate assistant in the
Biology Department, directed
the studs The were assisted
hs eight undergraduate
students ft o m s a r s ing
departments.
The objectives of the studs
sseie to assess 'he relatise
geologic and biologic
lull uences of the sesen
tributaries of the lai Riser
system, to determine the
relative influence of man's
activities on the stream system.
and to collect base data for
future studies
Benton commented thai
"llie word pollution sometimes
has many meanings " He
explained by stating. "I very
siicam has a certain amount ol
natural suspended material. We
consider walei pollution to be
that material which ocuirs in
excess ol nature's amount and
which is brought about by
man
Benton cited two major land disastrous to ever) living
use systems in the area studied organism that requires oxygen
�i water to live he said. The
sudden increase in nutrient
as contributors to chemical and
suspended material water
pollution Benton rescaled
"farming areas" as contributing
'high concentration of
nutrients" to the water He
stated "high concentrations of
suspended material were found
near logging areas
The report sighted Chieod
and Tranters Creeks as
examples of "slow, sluggish
and swampy streams" These
streams drain primarily
agricultural lands. They also
contain high concentrations o(
n11 rogen. Nitrogen is
materials to the estuars could
"cause an algal bloom"
Although during the day the
plants would be producing
oxygen they would consume it
at night and das and while
during decaying processes after
death.
The algae growth would
continue until it completely
shaded sunlight from the
estuarine area. After depleting
the complete oxygen source
the algae would die and the
estuary could begin restoration
considered a nutrient to plant by natuie "The tragic results
life and is a component of
agricultural fertilizers.
"Because of the sluggish
character of these two creeks
they have less impact on the
river than do streams with
rapid flows he stated If these
streams were to be channelized
"then their flow rate would
increase considerably" he
concluded.
Benton stated further, "The
increased flow svill remove
ih eir high nutrient
concentrations to the estuary.
The increase of the already rich
chemical pool here svill
undoubtedly lead to increased
eutrophication
The actual results "could be
would still be sers apparent
during the cycle with fish kills
and dead shellfish beds
Benton commented
Channelization is a process
Utilized by the I.S Army
Corps ot Engineers and the
IS Soil Conservation Service
i n " flood control" and
'drainage" projects The
general technique is to strip the
banks of all vegetation, to
deepen the stream channel by
dredging it out. and to widen
the stream by cutting the
banks back.
"Sometimes the vegetation
is stripped completely off as
much as 30-50 feet on either
side of the stream stated
Slaughter. This not only
destroys some wildlife habitat
but also "allows constant
direct sunlight to heat the
stream above temperatures
which fish can tolerate he
commented.
The U S Soil Conservation
Service has plans to channelize
Chieod Creek now. National.
state and area environmental
groups arc challenging the
project in the Federal District
Court in New Bern however.
They have succeeded in
securing an "indefinite
postponement" until a final
decision can be made
Benton and Slaughter both
recommend "cessation o(
further channelization until its
cumulative effect on the North
Carolina Estuarine System can
be determined " They also
recommend "alternative flood
prevention measures such as
snagging, and stricter flood
plain management
The two also recommend
the use of "a regional map
showing the extent and
frequency of both crop

Major deficiences revealed
in infirmary operations
(beluoUalb and vomntenlctoy
l"he infirmary has done it again Hut
is a has woefully neglected the needsol
the students who are in tact sick and in
! "i immediate attention
rhts time however, the coed whose
case was handled so poorly had .1 friend
in the SGA influential enough to net the
Si ident Affairs Committee to maki an
inquiry into the out-patient treatment
.mil lack ot ambulance service Jt the
1: J 1rm.11 Prior to t his instance
however, the mistreatment of students at
the infirmary has largely gone unnoticed
I here still remains the question as to
whether the SGA committee will be able
to accomplish anything The institutions
connected with the university have been
notorious for letting the voicing ot
students' complaints go in ami out oi the
proverbial ear.
The problems seem to lie m the
incompetence ot the doctors and the
lack of funds It seems that it is tune for
�' little �outh on the staff oi the
infirmary in the shape oi the nurses as
well as the doctors.
Granted that youthfulness is not a
guarantee of competence, but almost
anything would be a welcome change
and an improvement over what we now
have
Overcrowding of the infirmary is
another problem While it is true that a
�-�reat main of the students that visit the
mlirmary are trying to get out ot class 1 ;
tests, tins is no excuse for the attitude
the infirmary has that all students are
"goldbricking rhts causes the
negligence 01 those students who do
have problems t fiat require medical
attention
Moreover, it is the rvsrv; isi "in ot the
student seeking medical care Jo tell the
doctor all the symptoms and let him
diagnose the dsc
This seemed to be part of the problem
in the coed's ease Diagnosis is for
people trained to examine all the
symptoms and arrive at educated
guesses-mot for the patient to decide
prior to seeing a doctor
1 hese problems, however, are no
excuse for the near criminal neglect oi
seriously ill students In a vital service
such as a campus infirmary. neglect o'
the students or of the great need for
expanded facilities and better equipment
cannot be excused.
It would seem that some oi the
money that is delegated to the SGA and
other organizations that comprise the
universitv might be better spent m
taking care ot the gross lackmgs of the
campus infirmary
Until the situation is corrected, it
would probably be better and safer for
students to seek medical care outside of
the infirmary Notification ot parents of
the poor medical services available might
also help to spur correction of this
situation
Whatever is done must be done as
quickly as possible It is apparently up to
the students since the administration has
taken no steps to correct the situation

difficult) falling asleep aftei I have had wine or

alcohol to induce insomnia Bv the vvav. do

nswei While the common assumption is
ihai alcohol makes a person sleepy, and this
does seem to be the case' loi most. I know ol
many people who experience the opposite.
Particularly aftei several glasses of wine, some
people find that they tall asleep for a short
period ol lime and then wake up with a bad
jic oi insomnia
Iv own informal survey indicates that this is
the case more often with wine than with
alcohol taken in other forms, and has lead me
to wondei if some people metabolize wine
differently than lohers producing substances
which interfere with normal sleep.
A cool showet before bedtime might even be
more effective than a warm batti as a means of
inducing sleep Aside from avoiding caffeine
containing beverages, suv cleat ot vigorous
exercise right before retiring, although exercise
during the day tends to make it easiei to sleep
at night One of the most helpful thmgs in
trying to get to sleep is sit down and relax tor a
half an hour before getting into bed Even il
suffering from bad insomnia, one should id
taking naps during the dav as napping only
makes n more difficult to sleep al iindil
Insomnia occurs normally and is usual); self
limited and not serious In severe cases a
physician should be consulted

Vugil fox's overwhelming performance
Monday night was overshadowed by an
extremely hazardous thieat to ihe lives and
well-being oi the hundreds oi people who
attended the concert
At the end of the conceit I and several other
people attempted to leave the upstairs oi the
auditorium through the rear doors.
These doors, on both sides of the auditorium
were locked, in violation ol laws which prohibit
the blocking oi fire exits bv any means
It a fire or rmergenrj had occured at a time
w'hen Wright Auditorium was filled to capacity
it is questionable if the existing exits would be
sufficient
Prohibiting the use oi anv ot the exits seems
to me to invite more disaster should an
emergency arise.
K the loss oi a few dollars admission from a
lew students "sneaking into the auditorium
worth the risk of locking hundieds in a fire trap
and wailing for someone to strike a match
Such inesponsibilitv and disrespect for
human life cannot he overlooked

qualities in an accampanist is a task not easilv
carried out.
Alexay's rendition of the Gershv-r:
Includes was bubbling over with much more
vigoi and vitality than Mr Wallace was apt to
give credit for. This performance clearly
showed why Gershwin was able to cross the
musical tracks between "Tin Pan Allev" and
the concert hall a performance embodied
within the logical form of Classicism, yet not
1 elding to the sensitivity oi u ich requned to
bring out the ' Si7 harmonies
The Chopin was another thing. Could not the
reviewer have mistaken a sense of musical
restraint for an icv. mechanical
interpretation The Chopui Nocturnes are
beautiful works of art untill performed with a
touch of sentimentality
Then their "magic disappears and they fail
to show iheir more profound meaning
Mr Ale.xay possessed this sense of restraint
which allowed hun to shape the musical phrases
with a tasteful use of rubato
He gave us the C sharp minor Nocturne as a
tone painting housed within a logically concise
design The "VaJse Brillante" was portrayed in
a masterful style which heldts grace until the
t in al bars of the diabolical coda
In short. Mr Alexay proved himself to be a
tme pianist, accompanist, and musician who
makes up 50 of a musical team

I leel the need to comment on two things
concerning the review oi the Jerome Hines
performance in Tuesday s Fountainhead.
li is true that Mexander Alex.iv might have
sounded "icy and mechanical but according
to information I have received. I suspect that
the piano was more likely at fault since the
music departments renowned tin ear piano
tuner. "Di Bunch might have had the piano
in his evil dutches a tew days previously
Concerning the "Don Giovanni excerpt, the
comment on Mr Hines' costume ("A heavier

As a music majoi here at ECU which has. if I
mav add. an excellent music school. I could not
help but notice Mr Wallace's review of the
Jerome Mines concert.
Due respect was given to the fine
performance of Mr Hines. however his
accompanist Alexander Alexay was coldly
pushed tar Into the background Granted, the
audience was not there to hear a piano recital
but Mr Wallace did not so much as mention the
outstanding accompaniment given on the
program
Mr Alexay displayed a fine feeling of
musical sensitivity coupled with superb
technique and a sincere musicalitv He knew
Courses trap

I am trapped in the dilemma of being forced
to undertake a foreign language ui order to
receive my diploma Has a really valid reason
ever been stated for this useless requirement
which must be suffered through to receive the
treasured B.A ?
Mv particular source of frustrations and
anxieties is French and from this department I
heard that French lor. assume anv foreign
language I gives you an insight about another
people and then culture
I think this is termed understanding or
"cultural relativity" by the Anthropology
Depart mem I could have sworn that the
anthropology course I had (which was infinitely
more interesting and stimulating than French!
taught me about many different ways of life
and not to judge other cultures by our values
but to view them in terms of thcu own norms
and standards.
On behalf of my particular French class I
must say that it is mildly stimulating by this
interest somehow disappears instantly when the
struggle through homework, vvhich is nightly
and tedious, begins
To wonder whether or not the other courses
I am taking interest me more than French
would be somewhat of an understatement.
I cannot help but experience complete
disdain in being forced to learn something
about which I honestly do not give a damn. It
would not be necessary for me to expound on
other courses more relevant (to say the least)
and from which I could profit by the learning
experience As it stands I am a am wasting 29
of my money that goes to tuition
Fortunately graduation comes next quarter
when to subordinate his playing and when to and so departs French from my life If I had

Makes appeal

This is a selfish letter I know, but I had to
write it through the paper to make sure it gets
to every friend I had while I was at Fast
Carolina
To get to ihe point. I have lost contact with
most of the people that I considered as friends
while I was in college (and that is much of the
student body)
Since I left school under much emotional
stress. I find it difficult to go back to sec old
friends even. I really feel out of place and a

asking anyone who finds time or has no place
to go to come by my house (10� S Jarvis St.I
to rap. listen to music, or just to see an old
