New CU becomes a reality as construction begins
By GARY CARTER
SUff Writer
We can't have anothei SGA coming in and
undoing what previous groups have done We
would nevei accomplish anything sayi Dr.
Leo Jenkins concerning present plans lor the
construction ol a new Student Union
Present plans call fot a new union to be
constructed on university property at Kighth
and Charles Streets with a projected cost of
S 2.890 000. The project was initiated during
the administration oi SGA President John
Schofield in 1969 Othei university systems
were studied bj a committee headed bv the late
Mrs. Cynthia Mendenhall and plans drawn
from these
The Hoard oi Trustees then received a
recommendation from the student group and
approved the raising ol student activity lees
Si: per quarter. The program was then sent to
the state legislature who approved the building
during their last session in 1') The legislative
action authorized the university to borrow,
through bonds, the tunds needed to finance the
building. The bonds would, in turn, be repaved
through the mone) received iiom the activity
lee
According to Jenkins and Clifton Moore,
university business manager, there is great need
for a new union on the l.( I campus "We have
the sorriest CU of any campus out sie in this
state Jenkins pointed out. Agreeing. Moore
stated that any student who said that there was
not a need for such a building has "never been
on a big-time campus
Concerning the location. Moore explained
that the site was determined by the property
available He stated that the Board of Trustees
had set aside that area for expansion purposes
several years ago. Jenkins justified the proposed
site by saying that the campus is moving in that
direction, towards downtown (.reenville He
also feels that since Greenville is moving in the
same direction, the site will be an especially
good one.
The present location of Cotten and Fleming
dormitories were once discussed as possible
areas tor the new structure. However. Jenkins
stated that "the area of CottenFleming would
not begin to be big enough, even if we tore
them down today
When asked il he believed that construction
of the building could be halted if the student
body expressed their wish to do so. Jenkins
said. "I doubt it ver much. It was an action of
Alumni Day
the state legislature He furthei explained that
it would take anothei act b the legislature to
halt the project
Moore pointed out that construction would
have to be terminated b April 6. the da on
which bonds will begin to be sold Alter this
day the university could be sued because the
bonds would become worthies! Moon ilso
revealed that about SI00.000 of student tunds
have alreadv been spent for architect's fees and
attonues
About $900,000 is currentK available lor
the new CU This is money which has been
collected from the activity fees since tall ol
1969 Along with the $100,000 alreadv spent,
about one million dollars has alreadv been
collected The remaining sum will be gained
from the sale of bonds, the las ol which will
mature in l():
According to the two administrators, no
specific plans have yet been formulated lor the
use of Wright, once the building has been
vacated Several requests have been made, such
as that a large area be set aside for dressing
rooms I or performers who come to the
university. Also the Student Supply Store will
probably profit from the increased space
available, according to Moore

praises his accomplishments since he
joined the ECU edministration in
1947 as Dead of the College.
GREEN VILLEDr. Leo W. Jenkins,
president ol last Carolina University, told a
gathering of ECU alumni last Saturday that the
past academic year has "particular significance"
lor him. his (went) tilth year ot association
with Last Carolina
ADDRESSES ALUMNI
In an Alumni Day luncheon address. I)r
Jenkins compared the Last Carolina University
of N72 with Hast Carolina Teachers College of
I947-4H, when he joined the staff as Van of
the College
Prior to his appointment to this position. Dr.
Jenkins was New Jersey Assistant
Commissioner for Higher Education
REVEAL PROGRESS
" T hese statistics reveal the great progress
that can be made when faculty, students,
administrators, and the poeple in our
community elect to work hard to build a ereat
institution he said
Dr. Jenkins related a series of contrasting
figures showing Hast Carolina's tangible growth
over the :5 year period
GIVES FIGURES
Enrollment, from L549 to I0.I06; extension
registrations. 9: to I400: degrees awarded. I84
to 2.I53; campus sue, 100 acres to 635 acres
plus the Manteo marine science center
Property valuation, $2.5 million to $70
million, operating budget, SI million to $:i
million, library holdings, 61,000 to K77.252
books and microfilm ; and total budget for
funded research and training programs, from
none to S: 3 million
"As startling as these comparisons are. bare
statistics do not tell the whole story said Dr.
Jenkins
"We get an even more impressive picture ol
contrast when weconside- some of the new and
exciting areas of activity we now engage in
which were undreamed of in 1948
CITES PROJECTS
Dl Jenkins cited ECU's research projects
dealing with environmental protection, new
allied health degree programs, the overseas
campus in Bonn, and the new medical school
which will enroll its first students this fall.
He also singled out ECU's prominence as a
center for training in the performing and fine
arts, the success of this sear's debate team and
growth of the various athletic programs.

"The girls will have a ball" says tortnei SGA
Treasurer Randy llonnetl ot the proposed
hcation for the new C oUafe I nion With this
location, lhe will he about the only one using
It "
The building site picked tor the new
complex is where C hades and Eigth Street
intersect. don jrou.id the flfcnV Jorrn area
According to Honnett. this site was chosen
by a joint student administration committee
about three years ago.
"They chose this location because they "felt
that it would best meet the needsofan
expanding campus' " said Honnert. who
disagrees with the location
This site . which was the last of five
proposed, will include most of the area that was
recently cleared of houses, plus the area nov.
being used as a day student parking lot
The building itself will be a three-stor)
affair, with the ground floor being underground
for the most part It will sit where Charles and
Eighth Streets intersect, and the remaining are
will be made into walkways and an adjoining
parking lot
The ground floor will be mostly a game area.
It will include an eight-lane bowling alley,
complete with repair shop There will be a
billiaid table aiea. which will be adjoined I J ?
ping-pong aiea. both ol which arc planned to be
much larger than the present game areas in the
present union
In the center ol the building will he located
a main stairwav . to be encompassed by a
student lounge This plan will be consistent
throughout the three floors
The first floor plans are highlighted b) a
theatre-type carpeted auditorium whose 8S0
seats numbci considerably less than Wright s
200 seats
This supei deiuvi section wil be located
?Jurtly over the birwkng mIIv,
When asked about the possibility of the
?loue from the lanes below disturbing the
auditorium's activities. Honnett answered,
"They ithe constructors) said they could fix
it
The lirst floor area will also contain a soda
shop, a f nion information desk, and ah area
equipped with kitchen facilities, besides several
study and listening rooms
The second floor area will be mostly offices
lor the SGA Here will be the large meeting
rooms for the legislature as well as the officers'
offices, and there will be more tudy rooms on
this flour
Honnett feels thai it will be adequate, but
that the location will definitely be a bad one
Hopefully enough students will be able to
trek all the way to the new L nion when it is
built to decide whether or not it is adequate or
not
Pop Concerts Jeopardzed
by damage to Minges
ECU requests $10 million for new projects
( oncerts in Minges Coliseum may becomy a
leature of the past unless more responsibility is
shown by t hose al lending, sayd the Popular
Entertainment Committee During the
performance of (he Mlman Brothers Band on
February 6, more than $1500 worth of damage
was done to the la, ihty
Accoiding to Phil Piager. spokesman for the
Populat 1 ntcttainnieni Committee, "Damage to
the facility was excessive in that large numbers
ol cigarettes were thrown on the floor and
wither scotched the finish, or burned through
the finish and into the wooden floor A large
plate glass miitor, valued at $75,000, was also
smashed in one of the bathrooms
The f looi in M inges, valued at about
S 33 ,000, was most excessively damaged
underneath the bleacher ateas where the surface
was unprotected. Ptaget tepoits that the
committee may have to pas lot the'damages
incurred out of its budget In regard to this
possibility . Ptaget stated, "Any money we
spend, means less entertainment lor the student
body
The present damage is primarily due to the
smoking which took place during the Allman
Brother's conceit Ptaget pointed out that a
(ireenvillc ordinance prohibits smoking in such
places as Minges and that, had the die marshall
been present, he probably would have halted
the concert "We're not going to gel anothei
chance Prager cautioned "If the coliseum is
damaged dining the next concert, it is almost
certain that all future conceits m Minges will
have to be cancelled If Minses becomes closed
0 the students foi pei loi manees, Ptagei
predicts that Wright Auditorium would have to
be utilized However, because of the sue
Wright, it too could be ruled off limits for
concerts.
One pioblem in enforcing the smoking laws
has been the large number of persons other
than students attending the conceits. Accoiding
to the Committee, ovet half the audience at the
A llman Brothers show was public admission
"If student s allow the guy next to them to
smoke, they must lemember this: if he is not a
student, he stands little to lose if concerts are
suspended at Minges He can always drive
somewhere else to see the concerts. It is the
student who stands to lose the most by having
concerts suspended at Minges Prager
warned
The Popular Entertainment Committee is
piesently studying seveial possibilities for
alievtating the present problems. They have
discussed the purchase of mats to cover the
entire floor of the coliseum. Anothei pioblem
at the concerts has been gate-crashing Plans are
being made to have turnstiles installed before
the next concert.
Prager and the other members of the
committee hope that students will take a
different outlook toward the upcoming
concerts Prager emphasized, "If concerts are to
continue in Minges Coliseum, it tsnecessaiy
that we have the cooperation of all the students
of ECU We students need to realize that we are
only cutting our own throats if we continue to
smoke during the concerts

Freshmen Orientition Issue, Fountiinheid I
By GARY CARTER
Staff Writer
Man has, !?r thousands ol
years, thought of himself
romantically as an adventurer,
' 'hscoverei. always searching!
?Iwtjfl seeking that which will,
m some way, reward him The
quest for wealth, power. ov?
?'d hate are often successful
"lies. There is one quest,
however, wind, has left many
men standing helpless This is
Ihe search for true being
Many persons, in many
oifTerent ways, have toughl
their being and in turn, peace
( Ome have attempted to
discover the answers through
religious experience, others
through drugs But thousands
have taken the path of
meditation, and herein thei
answers.
One form of meditatio 1
which has gained thousands ol
devoted followers throughout
Ihe world is Transcendental
Meditation, as taught by the
Mahesh Yogi, once guru of the
Beatles Transcendental
Meditation or TM. is defined
by its teachers as a "simple
technique which takes the
attention naturally from the
ordinary thinking level to the
I ources of thought. ihe
reservoir of energy and
intelligence. The process
automatically results m the
expansion of the conscious
mind and full mental potential
begins to be used in thought
and action
Bob Mallahan. an II
student who recently took over
the coordination of the TM
program here, is unmistakably
enthusiastic about the process.
11 e v i e w s t h e a r e a o f
meditation as "a totally
different slate of
t onsciousness, apart from
waking, sleeping, or dreaming.
It involves the whole self
Hallahan, a student in the
School of Music, was first
introduced to TM last June
when he attended an
introductory lecture. Since
mastering the technique, which
he terms "simple Hallahan
has noted immense change in
his life. "I am much more
energetic and creative now
than before i began TM I find
that I am more confident in
day-to-day life, that people are
easier to deal with
Expansion
The practice of TM is being
spread hrough the student
populace of the world by the
St u d e n t s International
Meditation Society (SIMS),
which maintains centers in
every major city of the world.
SIMS now boasts that over one
pei cent of the student
population in the U S.
meditates which, according to
Hallahan. is a very large
number. In the Greenville area,
there arc about sixty persons
involved in the TM program
The goal of SIMS, however, is
one per cent ofthe entire
world.
Scientific
"One ofthe beautiful things
about TM is that it is such a
simple, scientific method and
will work for anyone the
convincing believer points out.
"It involves only about 15 or
20 minutes twice a day and can
be learned immediately
Describing the actual
sensation created by-
meditation poses a problem.
Drawing an analogy, Hallahan
explains, "Think of being on
the surface of the ocean when
a storm is coming up, and the
water is choppy and hectic
Then imagine sinking under the
surface, going deeper and
deeper, and becoming calmer
and calmer
During this period of
recession, one transcends
through what Hallahan refers
to as the "three levels ol life "
These are the three levels of
existence, the areas of activity,
thought, and being. Describing
this process, the student says,

Would it be forward of us to mention

campus policemen was riding his motorcy cie in
the Tenth Street parking lot at the same time a
dog was crossing the lot The dog was not even
chasing the pig, but he stopped the bike, pulled
out his can of mace, and offered to give the dog
a shot If spraying mace on an innocent dog is
that cop's idea of a big man. then we're all in
trouble The incompetence is astounding. The
really revolting thing is that the pig just stopped
the cycle for absolutely no reason. That these
defenders of the faith are allowed to carry guns
is more than a little scary to me Maybe they'll
just start shooting the dogs and solve all their
problemss

of semen would have good effects on my nerves
and emotions

days, visual aid material is all we've had After
the first movie the teacher asked for a show of
hands -how many thought that movie was a
piece of bullshit1 Numerous hands were raised,
instructor's included What was the sense in
showing it1 From the discussion that ensued
the majority of the class got nothing from it.
Another day. three charts were flashed on the
board for our benefit The first one. the teacher
never got m focus, so he ended up reading it to
us The second two tables were in focus but the
numbers were so small you couldn't read them.
Now I'm not downing visual aids on the whole.
In that same class today, we saw a very good
movie, but one day out of three is not a very
good average
Another complaint How many times have
you been sitting in class watching a movie in
total darkness when the professor says, "Be
sure to take notes You'll be tested on this"1
Right' I can take notes in the dark, but that
doesn't mean I'll be able to read them in the
light
This has to be the best one ye jtting in
your 8 00 class listening to a tape recording
because your regular professor couldn't make it
that morning
Visual aid materials can be very helpful and
stimulating, even informative when the- 're on

Enjoys performance
To Fountainhead
It was with the greatest of pleasure that I
observed the performance of "You're a Good
Man. Charlie Brown" on the evening of April
21.1972
As both my date for the evening and myself
enjoyed the performance. I felt that it was not
only my duty but my pie.sure as well fo
comment on its superb excellence
The acting was fantastic, with each actor
putting forth his greatest effort to make the
play the success which it was.
We are looking forward to many more such
performances, and truly regret that there have
not been more of them in the past year at East

Auto defects, advertising practices
attacked with unusual ads
merica's moylm
Freshmen Orienta
By CARL L NELSON
WASHINGTON. DC(CPS)Public service
advertisements on televu.on, radio and in the
news media may soon relied a greater concern
(a utien health and safely, if a Washington
Washington public interest law firm is upheld
tn tin federal Communications Commission or
the courts.
Philip Stem, founder of the Stern
( ommunily Law Firm, released last Sunday
two public service announcements narrated by
Burt Lancaster. One warns the owners of 6.8
million Chevrolets that their cars were built
with potentially faulty and dangerous engine
mounts. The other spot announcement calls
attention to the American Medical
Association's recent drug report describing
drugs like F.xcedrin, fcmpinn, Vanquish. Cope,
Anacin and Buffenn as "irrational "unsound"
and "not recommended "
On behalf of the Center for Auto Safety
Stern said, "the Stern Firm had asked the three
commercial television networks to broadcast
these announcements, free of charge, as part of
?heir public service obligation April 26.
All commercial stations, as part of being
licensed by the FCC. are required to devote a '
imall portion of programming time to public ,
iervice activities In t he past, with the j
xception of anti-smoking commercials
ponsored by the American Cancer Society,
lublic service announcements have been limited
0 supposedly innocuous activities such as Boy
nd Girl Scouts and United Givers Fund
The three networks were charged recently
ith monopolizing program preparation by the
slice Depart me nt
The counter-analgesic commercial,
onsored by the Chicago based Medical
immittee for Human Rights, was submitted
the networks last Monday
The lilmed television spots are

??other, illustrated with a surreal landscape
dominated by an interstate highway and a

careful on the turns
The television spot on engine mount defects
begins with the names of the potentially
diagcrous Chevrolet models superimposed ovc
Burt Lancaster, who says, "If you have one o

"Now General Motors has announced they

will install a free safety cable. If you have one
of these cars, I urge you-get it to a Chevrolet
Mfviceman. slowly
General Motors sent recall notices to the
Owners of the 6.8 million potentially dangerous
tjehicles two weeks ago, but many owners wdl
act receive the notice
A memorandum issued by the Center for
iuto Safety, which was foundedby Ralph
fader and is now directed by Lowell Dodge,
lescribes "a typical incident" that occurred
Lhen one of the defective motor mounts failed.
'One afternoon in mid-October. 1971, Ms.
kidney Yates of Chicago was driving along a
lour-lane highway, trying to keep pace with the
raffk the report says.
"Suddenly her I96K Chevrolet Impala V-8
knot forward out of control. The engine began
racing and the power steering and power brakes
ceased functioning. She tried to steer the car
over to the shoulder of the road, but the car
didn't respond. Failing this, she had enough
presence of mind to switch off the car's ignitior
and bring it to a dead stop, hoping that she
would not be hit from behind
Yates husband. Congressman Sidney Yates
(WE) found out later that the motor mounts
were broken, and he was instrumental that the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration of the Department of
Transportation issued a warning.
As he found out, the report continues, the
faulty engine mounts were a common( defect,
and "100,000 engine mounts had already been
replaced on 1965-69 Chevrolet vehicles But no
warning was issued until the Congressman
inquired.
In a related development. Stern announced
ihat the groups at the press conference will
testify about the public service announcements
before a hearing of the Senate Commerce
Subcommittee on the Consumer in mid-May.
NBC. CBS and ABC television did not cover
the Stern press conference, but there is some
speculation that they will be invited to testify
before the Senate subcommittee, and asked
why they refused the ads.
In response to the Stern Law Firm s request
for public service lime, ABC vice-president
Alfred R. Schneider wrote that ABC had
covered the Chevrolet recall in newscasts, and
considered that sufficient public exposure for
the automobile safety issue. The other
networks offered similar responses.
However, in the only related case which
involved anti-smoking commercials, the FCC
ruled that one anti-smoking public service
commercial should be aired for every five
tobacco industry advertisements. All three
networks had given news coverage to the
Surgeon General's announcements about the
dangers of cigarette smoking.
Stern compared the networks' responses to
this case "This is tantamount to saying that
the question of health hazards from cigarettes
would have been adequately covered solely by
news broadcasts of the Surgeon General's
findings, and that one or two such news reports
would have adequately balanced out the
millions of dollars of pro-cigarette advertising
with which the networks have bombarded the
American public.
'Godfather' is beyond
ByGARVCARTER from??. .
By GARY CARTER
Surf Writer
"The Godfather" is truly America's movie
Where else but in America, land ol the free and
home of the brave, could a young man grow up
to become "Godfather" of his own "family"?
Wriere else but in America . with its purple
mountain majesties, could a hero be made of
one who deals solely in death, violence,
gambling, and other blights on society?
Yes, America, here, finally, is your
movieA conglomerate of meaningless
dialogue and stereotype characters, liberally
laced with overwhelming quantities of vrvid and
senseless violence. Credit must be given to
Paramount Pictures for their insight into the
American public. They needed money,and
what better way to acquire it than adapting an
overrated best-seller and providing plenty of
gore and steaming rivelets of wholesome red
blood.
Rebel accepting
student work
The Rebel, ECU's literary publication, will
accept submissions during both summer
sessions in preparation for next fall's issue. The
deadline for the submissions is September 29.
Also, the magazine will begin paying
contributors for their work. Authors of short
stones will receive $10, while $8 will be paid for
reviews. Poetry will be paid for on a scale of 50
cents per line. A similar arrangement will be
made for artwork.
Typed manuscripts or artwork can be placed
in the envelope on the door of the Rebel office,
which is Wright-Annex 215, or slid under the
door. All contributors will be notified as to
acceptance and editorial deletion.
A MINOR VICTORY
Adapted from Mario Puo's novel by the
same name, "The Godfather supposedly deals
with the inner workings of a Mafia family, the
Corleones. It is worthwhile to note that the
titles "Mafia" or "Costa Nostra" are never
mentioned. A minor victory for the Italian
Anti-Defamation League.
We view the Corleones as they love, drink,
talk, thieve, murder, and threaten their
enemies, their friends, their family members,
and everyone in general. And this, of course,
finally endears them to the hearts of America,
as new folk heroes.
"The Godfather" received many rave reviews
for one reason or another. After viewing the
movie, one wonders if perhaps the critics were
not offered "a deal they couldn't refuse" by
the family at Paramount, a tactic used
successfully by the Corleones. This would
involve sitting the writer down at his
typewriter, putting a pistol in his head.and
informing him that either a favorable review or
his brains would be on the page shortly.
1 his movie does have several good points in
its favor. One is the overall effect achieved by
the cinematographers. There is an authenticity,
a realism which is sorely lacking in many
movies of a similar vein The street scenes, the
costuming, all testify to the pains taken to
authenticate "The Godfather
The outstanding feature of "The Godfather"
is the superb performance turned inbyAl
Pacino as Michael, initially "Godson finally
"Godfather Pacino's portrayal is one of
remarkable depth, especially when compared to
his counterparts. As Michael, he is first the
young war hero, seeking to disengage himself
from "family affairs " However,the
assassination attempt on his father draws him
once again into the ranks, and from her. on his
destiny is set. Pacino's performance is one
worth seeing, it is only a pity it is , portion of
the whole
MUMBLES HIS WAY
Marlon Brando plays the shallow role of
patriarch of the Corleone famdy, chief parasite
of this parasitic group. It is he, as the
"Godfather who demands respect, provides
the intellect, and acts as catalyst, both within
his own family and between the rival families.
Brando fits this role perfectly as there is
virtually no acting required. His finest scenes
are when he lies bleeding in the street after an
assassination attempt by a rival famdy and his
eventual staggering death in the tomato garden.
The amazing aspect of the role is the aura
which surrounds it, the respect which it
demands, and the power it wields, as Brando
mumbles his way through it.
GOES BEYOND RATIONALITY
Completely worthless is the complete violent
air which the motion picture takes on. Many
defend it as a reality which must be faced, or
simply as "real life If this is true, then it is life
that is best encountered first-hand by those
who perpetrate it and not splashed across the
screen, billed as entertainment. It is not that
violence should not be shown, but that "The
Godfather" goes beyond the point of
rationality. Unlike most movies, where there is
a good versus evil situation which justifies the
violence to the American mind, the slaughter
herein is senseless and brutal.
lion Ism I untainhead. Page 5
reason
EXPLICIT AND SICKENING
Implied acts of violence both establish the
end result and make their point, but the
violence of "The Godfather" is explicit and
sickening. Try watching Sonny Corleone as a
dozen machine guns tear him his car, a toll
booth, and the countryside to shreds How he
manages to turn in his car. crawl out, stand up

nauseating instance is during a child' baptism
in which Michael mumbles of his belief in Jesus
Christ while his henchmen riddle, blast, and
destroy his rivals Here is the epitome ol
senseless spectacle.
TENDS TO ROMANTICIZE
Expect no social commentary, no revelation
on organized crime from "The Godfather "
There is no cure shown, no solutions One
simply becomes frightenedly aware ol its
presence and. perhaps in turn, concerned On
the screen aie shown simply violent people,
who live and die by the gun Their lives are
placed under a sort of one-sided scrutiny which
tends to romanticize them
Many have professed enjoyment of this
movie, and if your fare is periods of absolute
boredom intermingled with rivers of blood
spread out over three hours, then you too will
find entertainment from "The Godfather " II
pressed to describe, in one word, this massive
money-maker, it could only be one repulsive

WALTER DAVENPORT, ECU's supreme triple jump
performer, has won the balloting for Fountainhead s
"ECU Athlete of the Year Davenport, who has been
making headlines for the ECU track team all year, won
with 1,096 votes to 934 for Bill Hill, 632 for Carlester
Crumpler and 414 for Wayne Norris and John
Casazza.
Sin. e this was an even war many followers felt that the Bins
could go all the was as this hast- ever) even year since I
The was the season began it looked as though they were right
as the Bui s won then lust six games behind good pitching timely
hitting, and an alert defense
I he streak which included wins over Dartmouth State and
Duke, was linally ended by Virginia's strongavahers Hut the
Bucs came back foi anothei big non-conference win over
Carolina
LOSE FIRST THREE SC BATTLES
In the i onference, it was a different stors as the Bucs lost then
lust three games A big win sneak, winch included a neat perfect
game in Bill Godwin, brought the Bucs back into contention
going into the final week i il day.
During thai last week, the Bucs disposed ol contendei Furman
but had to sit hack and wait lor the results ol Richmond's three
doubleheaders.
I he Spiders won all six games and won the title with a 13-3
record while the Bucs went I 1-5 and had to settle lor a second
place finish, hence Smith's displeasure
Welborn enjoyed Ins second title this year as coach when Ed
I'innix led his golleis to thou second straight S( title
I he Pirates staited slow Is hut still managed to forge a final
12-4-1 mark and ECU's third Southern Conference championship
ol the school year.
( arson saw his track team tmish behind William ami Mars once
again but Waltet Davenport continued his amazing success in the
tuple lump for his performance against the rest ol the
conference, Davenport was named the meet's "Outstanding
Athlete "
Davenp 'it also ssas named Fountainhead's firsi annual I' I
Vhlete o the Year
Jim Kidd, a sensational runner, joined Davenport in making
headlines lor the ECU track team this yeai
I ennis is usually a had sport, record Wise, at II and this sen
proved no exception as the Bucs finished 211 But alter the
death ol VanMiddlesworth. through natural causes at the
Fiddler's Convention, w ins did noi seem to mean too much to the
plas eis
CREW DID NOT COMPETE OFTEN
I be Hit less did not have much opportunity to prove itselt
this spring fot mans ol the scheduled races ssere never held.
However, the rowers .dinc up with a big win ovet arohna in
Chapel Hill in the last regular season race
I his past weekend, the rosseis sseie scheduled to compete in
the Dad Vail Regatta, known to most schools entered as the
"World Series oi Rowing "
Lacrosse was noi a sets successful sport here this year as the
Bucs finished 2
A lack ol team depth and a suicide schedule were the reason
tot the poor record, though, as the Bucs could onl) suit up about
15 to 20 plasers a game against such powers ,n Mary land. Duke
Carolina and William and Mais
In the season tmale Saturday . the Bucs turned in a phenomenal
second halt performance aitei lading behind in the first halt 14-1
Rick 1 mdsay in the goal provided the spatk to bring the Bucs
back and make the Imal score a more respectable 20-s
In preparing lor ihe tall, the varsity football team had a big
moral boost this spring in the form of victory ui the annual
Spring Game
This year, the format was changed somewhat as the Bucs
plased a squad oi former ECU footballers Ihe first annual
Varsity-Alumni Game, played dunng the baseball, golf and track
seasons, was won bs the Varsity . 35-0
On the club level, the school was admirably tepresented by
amateur football plaseis ssho completed a 5-1 season, which
included wins ovet I arolina, lS-0 and 31-0. and Duke 53-6. Only
a 2 1 " loss tohossan in the mud marred an otherwise perfect
season for the 1(1 footballlub which won its club
championship
Ihe Karate (. lub continued to win tiophies everywhere it went,
including the Southeastern Championship
And ECU'S newest club, the soccer club, had a rather disoial
(0 5l initial season hut the players enioyed the chance to play the
sport throughout the state
To round out the athletic program, a new udo club is now in
its infant stage
