GREENVILLE, N CAROLINA
VOLUME IV. NUMBER 11
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1972
Atty. Gen. rules Pub Board illegal
SGA Attorney General, Thomas W
Durham ruled Tuesday that September's
election of the Publications Board is null
and void, and all appointed members to
that board have been removed from
office. Durham has also temporarily
removed the chairman of the
Publications Board, Kathy Holloman,
until she can answer to charges of
negligence made against her by
Fountainhead Editor-in-Chief. Philip
Williams.
Already applications are being
accepted in Dr. James TucKer's office to
construct a new Publications board.
Holloman must face charges before a
meeting of the Student Government
Review Board. As yet, the date of that
meeting has not been disclosed.
Because of the illegality of the
Publications Board, SGA Treasurer Mark
Browne has stopped the release of any
? nd all funds designated to the
publications operating under the
authority of the Board. These are the
Fountainhead, the Rebel and the
Buccaneer.
Below are the official memos sent
respectively to SGA President Rob
Uiisana and Publications Board
Chairman Kathy Holloman from the
Attorney General's office directing the
decision of Durham.
In response to the complaint of
October 6, 1972, by Mr. Philip Williams
concerning the selection of Publications
Board members in September of this
year, the following report upholds Mr
Williams protests thereby removing from
the Publications Board all members
selected in the September appointments.
The reasons for this action can be found
in the several irregularities concerning
the selection of these members. Firstly,
tl-p composition, of the screening
committee did not correspond to the
prescribed screening committee of
Article II, Section Alb of the
Publications Board Constitution.
Secondly, no application for any
position on the board was filed in th
Office of the Dean of Student Affairs as
demanded in Article II, Section A-l-a of
the Publications Board Constitution.
Thirdly, certain member of the Board
were directly associated with the
Buccaneer at the time of their selection,
thus violating Artlice II, Section A-l-d of
the Publications Board Constitution.
Fourthly, screening committee did not
present a list of a minimum of ten
persons to the Legislature for approval,
thus violating Article II, Section A-l-c of
the Publications Board Constitution.
Because of this abundance in
irregularity concerning the selection of
the replacement of members on the
Publications Board, all persons and all
acts of the Publications Board between
the time of the selection of members
until a new Board can be filled will be
considered null and void.
With the presentation of this report,
new applicants for membership on the
Publications Board to replace those
persons so removed form the Board shall
submit applications to the office of the
Dean of Student Affairs. At such time
when the number of applicants reaches a
figure in excess of the ten minimum the
PUBLICATIONS BOARD Chairman, Kathv
holloman. will (ace charges at an as ve't
undisclosed review board Meeting.
Editors Note The Student Un.on tssued the following
m?i8 in response to a recant Forum letter regarding
dancing at concern
In respons to those students who
have expressed a sincere interest to stand
in the aules and let loose at the J. Ceils
Concert, the Student Union must issue
this warning. Any person or persons who
attempt to dance in the aisles or block
exits during the performance will be
escorted out of the coliseum. Such
drastic actions are due to two factors.
One fire law states that all aisles and
exits must be free from congestion so
that in case of an emergency any
member of the audience can leave his
?eat and get outside of the coliseum at
any time during the performance.
Secondly, the floor is a wooden one, and
it can withstand only a limited amount
of stomping without causing severe and
permanent damage. If the wooden floor
is damaged, it will mean that students'
money will have to be used to replace
the damaged floor (which is a
considerable expense.) The severity of
such an expense would mean that all
further concerts would have to be
cancelled.
The Pops Committee of the Student
Union has worked hard to bring a fine
concert line up and has many more
concerts planned for this season. These
further concerts however depend on the
actions of the audience at Saturday's
concert. As students and concert goers
there are several things which you can do
to insure that further concerts will be
permitted.
1 The concerts at Minges are designed
to get the people involved but the entire
concert program necessitates that each
person at the concert remain at his seat.
Do ,ot gather in the aisles. It is a hazard.
2. If you see someone standing in the
aisles, please ask them to be seated or go
back to his seat and stand. Such a
request by a fellow concert goer is more
likely to be respected rather than a
similar request by an usher. Asking a
stranger to move is very difficult, but it
will be necessary if the concert program
is to continue.
3. If you find it necessary to stomp
during a program (and most people do)
please do not wear shoes with hard soles
and certainly do not use steel taps as are
often used when clogging. The use of
such bootery on the gym floor will only
seal the tomb over future concerts.
Particularly if you intend to stomp while
at your seat, then please wear hush
puppies, tennis shoes, or other products
which have a soft or rubber sole.
If each student who attends the
concert will help in these areas, then the
success of the concert program will be a
reality, and more groups who are into
audience participation will be presented
at ECU The success however will rest on
whether or not those students attending
have the personal courage necessary to
correct fellow concert goers and keep
the aisles clean and the floor undamaged.
SNEA endorses McGovern ticket
The Student National Education
Association, the nation's largest
individual member association of college
? tudents, today endorsed the
McCovern-Shriver ticket. This is the first
time the 80,000 member organization
has backed a presidential candidate.
Tom Creighton, President of the
?tudent NEA, which is affiliated with the
1.2 million member National Education
Association, announced the endorsement
?t a news conference here today at the
Statler Hilton Hotel. "McGovern has
Often stood alone in his battles to
represent our viewpoints said
Creighton. "His record shows his
commitment to our country's youths
and their concerns
Creighton also contrasted McGovern's
record on education with President
Nixon's, criticizing Nixon for vetoing
four pieces of education legislation
during his first term
McGovern -Shriver National Youth
Director Ed O'Donnell said, "This
endorsement by an organization of
80,000 young people is a better
indication of new voter sentiment than
the recent Gallup poll of new voters in
which only 221 persons were
interviewed
The Student National Education
Association is made up entirely of future
teachers.

Thomas W. Durham
Attorney General
(Editors note The following is the tent ot the
Attorney General s opinion I
Be it advised that a complaint against
your chairmanship of the Publications
Board has been filed by Mr. Philip E.
Williams. In his complaint, charges as to
the negligence on your part to perform
those duties so ascribed to you by the
publications Board Constitution are
spelled out in the following claims:
Your failure to have notices of
all meetings mailed to all
members from the Dean of
Student Affairs by registered
mail from that office. This
negligence on your part was
confirmed by Mrs Dorothy
Stewart, secretary of that
office;
Your exclusion of members of
the Publications Board from
attending the meetings of the
Board and from participating
in the activities of the Board
This includes voting as well as
non-voting members:
Your calling meetings of the
Board, at times off-campus, to
hold unofficial sessions and to
hear testimony concerning
actions of the editors of the
publications in their absence.
Considering the gravity of these
charges citing a clear irresponsibility on
your part to uphold and fulfill the
duties of your office as chanman of the
Publications Board. I fee that this
matter should be neither ignored nor
decided by one individueal. Thus you
shall appear before the Review Baord to
answer the charges brought against you
by Mr Williams, and pending a d
decision by that Board, you are
herewith relieved of your duties as
chairman of the Publications Board.
Yours truly
Thomas W. Durham

In response to charges brought against
her Holloman saidT can't be aware of
somethirg that didn't happen. The
charges are false . The only one with
some basis in fact is the one about not
posting meeting notices. It was just a
problem of communications between

Cotten gets steam bath
Bursting steampipes in Cotton Hall
brought three Greenville fire trucks to
the campus at 9 30 Wednesday night.
Clouds of steam rote above a
moderate-sized crowd as police and
firemen attempted to alleviate pressure
in the pipes. Claude Christopher of the
Greenville Fire Department stated that
there was apparently no damage to the
dorm.
"It happened because the dorm and
the pipes were old he said. "There
may possibly be no heat in the dorm
tonight- the steam will be cut off by the
Maintenance Department
According to the Maintenance
Department, a relief valve burst on one
of the pipes, "just what it was supposed
to do to let off pressure
Carolyn Fulghum, Dean of Women,
gave her account of the incident.
'? saw steam rising from the south
side of the building, "she said, "and took
the precaution ot calling the fire
department, the campus police and the
power plant
Dean Fulghum was advised by the fire
department that no danger existed.
Residents of Cotton Hail were notified
of the occurence over the public
address system.
By 10 pm all of the fire trucks had
left the campus.
ECU Police Department gains
campus investigative division
By ED MANN
Sill' Write!
The East Carolina University Police
Department, as of Sept. 1 of this year,
has an investigative division that will
take over all preliminary investigations
on campus.
In the past when a felony or
misdemeanor was committed on campus,
the investigations wery held by the
Greenville City Police, the Pitt County-
Sheriff's Department, or the State
Bureau of Investigation. Since the
University is city property and state
property, all have jurisdiction on campus
in investigative matters. Now all
investigations will have to be channeled
through East Carolina's own investigative
division.
According to Joseph Calder, Security
Chief at East Carolina University, the
creation of an investigative division is
just another step in a proposed plan
initiated by him "On May 19, 1970, I
was hired by I)r Jenkins to set up a
security department on campus "At
this time, I sat down and worked out a
plan for upgrading campus security
This plan was initially set up over a six
to eight year period; to set up a Traffic
Division, Security Division, and an
Investigative Division.
This new division will be headed by
Earl Wiggins Having been on the
uniformed police force for the last ten
years, he will be the first plain clothes
policeman in this new division. The only
other plain clothes policeman on campus
is Calder. Both have the full power of
any other city policeman.
Wiggins will be the University's
representative in all investigations
instituted by other agencies. In effect,
this m?ans he can go on campus or off
campus. "This Investigative Division is a
complete one with full police power
said Calder, "and since they are city
officers, they can go just about
anywhere they please Like other
campus policemen. Wiggins will carry a
gun and a badge.
The chief objective of this step is
generally to be more self-reliant. "The
more it grows, the more we can keep
outside agencies out. That's its real
purpose Calder replied wnen asked
about its purpose. "All of this is in
accordance with 'he general
reorganization of police all over the
country. I foresee that this division will
grow to five or six, judging by other
universities
But this new division has much more
specific ambitions. According to Calder,
"It has nothing whatsoever to do with
the rape that occurred recently on
campus, 'ts first project is "to get all the
dope off this campus and to prosecute
anyone that is dealing in it" With a little
bit of self assurance, he warned that
"anyone dealing in hard drugs on his
campus had better get the hell out of
Greenville because he is going to jail
Besides the new division, the plan
takes in other changes in the police
structure. Efforts are being made to
achieve what Calder called 'a better
police officer To do this, they have
lowered the age limit of campus police
from 40 to 30. Educational requirements
have been raised with the hope that by
1980, there will exist a bulk of college
educated policemen. More women are
planned to be hired as police officers. All
this in an effort o 'better police
officers
Whether the new division will work or
not remains to be seen. Wiggins worked
with the Sheriff's Department of Pitt
County in August for "experience Just
like when he was a uniformed
policeman, he will carry a gun and a
badge but unlike when he was a
uniformed policeman, you will not know
that he is there making his "preliminary
investigations

faculty, adminsl ration, and public
interests. This board also appropriates
the funds on which athletic budget! are
based.
According to Bill Cain and Athletic
Director Clarence Stasavieh. it is unlikely
that a coach will be hired this season
Three reasons are: ill the Athletic
Council has approved no funds. (2) tin-
Physical Education Department faculty
is at a maximum and (3) there are no
applications to consider Yet. Stasavieh
feels that if more nearby schools such a.s

Carolina were to develop strong teams to
challenge, a coach could In- found. This
year, as in 196-4. crew will probably have
a student coach Bill Perkins, at that
time a freshman, was the first ECU crew
coach.
Another difficulty facing the crew
squad involves equipment. One of tin-
shells (boats used in rowing) was
damaged last spring and has not yet been
repaired. Explaining the situation.
Stasavieh said the shelf would be mended
before spring competition, but that at
'hii time of the year, football,
basketball, and other fall and winter
sports are more pressing The crew squad
needs to practice with all their
equipment, however
NO COACH
On a scale of
"excellent moderate fair poor Cain
rated ihe existing equipment as "bettei
than adequate Advocating speedy
repair of the damaged shell, he stated.
If you can't find a coach and the right
equipment, then you shouldn't have a
team "
Because then- is no boathouse at or
near the Tar River or on campus to
shelter them the shells an- now housed
u ruler the north stands of Ficklen
Stadium, the lack of a boat house has
discouraged at least one competitor from
coming to Greenville to row. Efforts
have been made to encourage the city of
Greenville to build a structure on city
property near the Tar River. One site in
particular, the southeast corner of the
Commons, has been favored No definite
plans have been formulated.
Stasavieh contends that a small
allocation for crew is justified by the
small amount of student interest in tin-
sport. Such an allocation, he feels, is
proportional to the percentage of each
-Indent's fees used to finance crew.
According to Cam. however, there is
evidence of increasing student interest in
the relatively large number of students
who have approached the Athletic
Department to inquire about crew this
year One of the main reasons why there
is a low level of student interest is,
according to Stasavieh, the average
student's lack of familiarity with tin-
sport.
Records show that the amount of
interest in crew among not only students
hut also other residents of eastern North
Carolina has been directly proportional
to the amount of promotion the sport
has received.
EARLY YEARS
In the early 1960's, for example,
Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins made a
CO scientious effort to involve the state
government, industry, and private
citizens in the creation of North
Carolina's first crew team here at East
Carolina. During this period of
cooperation, the crew team grew from
non-existence to national prominence.
The Grimaldi Cup Races of 1969
brought national recognition to the
squad. Later that year after the Dad Vail
H'gat ta, the national championship
competition, both the Varsity and the
Junior Varsity ranked in the top 50
percent of America's teams. The Junior
Varsity placed in the top 10 percent.
This success in 1969 had been
predicted in 1966 by Jenkins'comment:
"Crew had been traditionally associated
with the wealthy private colleges of New
England. Frankly, I think some of our
farming boys, in a year or two, will be
able to beat the whole bunch of them
During the period between the birth
of the squad in 1964 and 1969, although
crew had been largely unknown in
eastern North Carolina,
faculty-administration backing led to a
following of about 1,000 fans according
to "News and Observer" reports.
Moreoever, there were attempts to
introduce the sport in high schools of
this area. Stasavieh feels that more
student interest now would boost the
sport here at ECU.

On Thursday, Oct. 5, East Carolinians
were privileged to hear one of the finest
symphonic ensembles in America. The
Cleveland rchestra gave a performance
that at times left the audience
overwhelmed and stunned by its
magnificence.
The orchestra under the condcution
of Claudio Abbado presented a balanced
sound. This was evidenced by the strong
wind attack found in Stravinsky s "The
Fire Bird and the fluid like contrast of
the strings in Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and
Juliet
"Romeo and Juliet" opened the
evening's program. The opening
measures of the piece were dark and
somber. These dark tones brought to
mind the better hatred between the
Montegues and the Capulets. The battle
theme which followed was characterized
by short abrupt phrases and inner
tension of the lines. The battle theme
was orchestrated forcefully with brass
and percussion dominating. Then, the
love theme was introduced. Its smooth
lines and distinct melody were in sharp
contrast with the battle theme. Just as
the love of Romeo and Juliet was remote
from the hatred that separated their two
families. The strings were predominant
in this part, and the fluid-like sounds
were a relief from the battle theme.
The peaceful interlude of the love
theme was abruptly broken by the
return of the battle theme, reminding
the audience of the continued strife
between the two families.
The love theme reappeared only in
abbreviated form and was opposing the
battle theme which was also in shortened
form. The two themes themselves
seemed to be at war! The piece ends on
an optimistic note with the love theme
being final.
Stravinsky's The Fire Bird" was
next. Based on Russian mythology, it is
a ballet. In the earlier premier
performance of "The Fire Bird a
procession of real horses were marched
on stage in step with the last six eighth
notes of the introduction. The horsei
became frightened and began It) neigh
and whinny. One animal, more critic
than actor, felt it his calling to leave a
malodorous calling card. The incident
was all but forgotten in the general
acclaim the next day.
The Russian melodies and complex
rhythm combined with the programatic
nature of the ballet created a vivid image
of the characters in the story of the
ballet. The story was not broken up into
distinct segments; instead the orchestra
proceeded from one part to the next
with only slight pauses. This created a
dreamlike quality.
The melody of the Berceuse ls sung by
the oboe and bassoon over a mesmeric
rhythm undercurrent. During the
Berceuse a great deal of tension was built
up. This was evidenced by the complete
lack of movement of the audience. The
Berceuse merged with the Finale in a
crashing cord that released both Un-
musical tension and the tenseness of the
audience. There was a great deal of
shifting in the seats at this point.
Beethoven's Seven Symphony was the
final piece on the program. First
performed in 1813, it was completely
overshadowed at that time by
Wellington's Battle Symphony, which
was also premiered with the Seventh.
Posterity has since deemed "The Battle
Symphony' one of Beethoven's worst
and the Seventh as one of his best. The
symphony opened with a 62 measure
introduction, the longest that Beethoven
ever wrou The unique compositional
style of Beethoven was evidenced in the
unusual and abrupt changes in key and
areas of transition.
Sensitivity encounters aid
personal growth
By PETER GREENSPAN
Sta" A- tf
Bob Clyde will be offering one of the
various campus-wide counseling sessions
this fall. Clyde was formerly a chaplain
at the University of North Carolina over
a two-year penod. He is also a graduate
of Wake Forest with a masters degree in
the divinity.
The goal of these counseling sessions
is to provide a communications
encounter on a quarterly basis The
program is designed for those people
who function adequately and would
desire a deeper sense of personal growth.
The sessions are quite structured. The
participants share feelings and find out
how they impress or "come across to
fellow students. The sessions are on a
relatively conservative keel with the
main purpose being geared to improve
communications between individuals.
Sensitivity sessions have had the most
unfortunate fate of extreme exploitation
by unscrupulous entrepreneurs and have
been labeled as bunk and hogwash by a
number of skeptics. Rumors or mixed
crowds in giant bathtubs getting to know
each other seem to be the image held by
those ignorant of the true potential of
sensivity counseling.
The counseling opportunity provides a
tense of intimacy with many people
simultaneously while in everyday life
many humans can only attain this
private feeling with immediate members
of their family or their spouse. Due to
the excess mobility and speed of the
modern world, people often do not have
the time nor desire to know their fellow-
man. Sensitivity enables these people to
go through these proper steps for a more
rapid rapport building process.
Sensitivity has been said to deliver the
other dimension of the American Dream,
in that you have that something needed
after a car and a house.
In the past, the groups have been
drawn from a diverse cross-section of
students. Those people who come from a
sense of need rather than mere curiosity
are urged to attend. The sessions are
scheduled to begin during October.
Exact dates will be announced later.

As young as your dream
hated to fly south. He
dreaded the thought of
leaving his home so much
that he decided this year
he would delay his journey
to the last possible minute.
After bidding a fond
farewell to all his sparrow
friends, he went back to
his nest and stayed there-
for an additional two
weeks. Finally, the
weather turned SO bitterly
cold that he could delay
no longer. As the little
sparrow took off and
started to fly south, it
bt gan to rain. In a short
time, ice began to form on
his wings. He flew bravely
on, but the ke got thicker
and thicker; finally, almost
dead from cold and from
exhaustion, he fell to earth
in a barnyard. As he was
breathing what he thought
was his last breath, a cow-
wandered out of the barn
and walked toward the
fallen bird. The cow then
proceeded to cover the
little sparrow with
excrement. At first the
manure started to sink
into hi s feathers, it
warmed him, and life
began to return to his little
body He also found that
he had enough room to
breathe. Suddenly the
little sparrow was so
happy that he started to
sing. At this moment, a
large cat came into the
barnyard. Upon hearing
the chirping of the little
sparrow, the cat walked
over to the pile of manure
and started digging away
to find out where the
sound was coming from.
As he removed more and
more manure, he finally-
found the little sparrow
and ate him.
Now the story contains
three morals : One:
Everybody who doo-doos
on you is not your enemy.
Two: Everybody who
takes doo-doo off of you
is not your friend. Three:
When you are warm and
comfortable in a pile of
doo-doo, keep your mouth
shut.

team. The Citadel enteri

win over a hapless VMI
iquad. Earlier tins year,
the Hues Itopped the same
team by a 808 count.
Hill Paine, Harry Lynch
and Jan Mall led a
devastating offense as the
Bulldog! upped their
league mark to 2-1. Paine
picked up ISO yards
against the Keydets and
scored twice.
Hall also scored twice
while Lynch scored once
and gained 9 yards on 18
carries as the Bulldogs
rolled up an impressive
2H7 yards on the ground
Citadel coach Red
Parker called the win, then
second in five starts
overall, their best effort
to date We really put it all
together for the first time
this season
The Hulldogs should
certainly provide a stiff
test for the Pirates but the
Bucs have a few plusses of
their own as they go after
their fifth straight win and
fourth in the conference
Defensively, the Pirates
are the only team in the
nation listed in the top ten
m all four statistical
categories. According to
unofficial figures released
earlier this week, the
Pirates lead the nation in
total and rushing defense,
rank third in scoring
defense and tenth in
defense against the pass.
In short, the "Wild
Dogs' have been
devastating.
Coming off their best
conference win of the
season, and second
shutout, the Pirates tan be
nothing but elated about
their xrformance thus far
in 1972. Hut head coach
Sonny Handle intends to
let them have no letdown
for Saturday's game.
"They are the most
explosive team we will
have in.t this year
Handle said of Parkers
troops. "They left here a
year ago feeling that they
should have beaten us.
Some things happened in
that game that they felt
should have happened
differently
The game offers added
incentive for the Bulldogs
for if they win, they will
tie the Pirates in the
standings. ECU. however,
can reduce its own magic
number in the conference
to two.
Still, the Pirates do not
even vaguely resemble the
team that won its first
game of the season last
year against the Bulldogs
after dropping three
others.
Some 2 3 seniors,
including 17 starters, saw
action in 1971 but will not
be around as the Bucs go
after their seventh win in
the 11-game series with
The Citadel.

Injuries should not be a
factor in Saturday's
contest. The Citadel
appears healthy and the
Pirates came out of the
Richmond scrap in good
Ihape. The lone casualty
was Vic Wilfore. who
sustained a slight sprain in
his ankle.
Wilfore should be ready

Honors were heaped on
two Pirates this week after
the big win over the
Spiders. Running back
Carlester Crumpler was
named the SC Offensive
Player of the Week, and
Mike My rick was
runner-up for the
Defensive Player of the
Week award.
Crumpler carried the
hall 35 times for 132 yards
and the winning
touchdown while Mynck
intercepted two Richmond
passes Saturday.
If these two once again
continue such honorable
play, and if the rest of the
pack play as amazingly as
they have, the Bulldogs
should have one big
"wild" dog-fight on their
paws.

Students are reminded
that regulations
concerning intoxicating
liquids will be enforced at
all remaining home games,
starting Saturday against
The Citadel.
Coolers will no longer
be allowed in the stadium,
and anyone suspected of
bringing alcoholic
beverages to the game will
be told to dispose of them
before entering the gates.
A regular search will be
made in the stands for any
further violations of the
regulations.
Also, students are
required to show ID and
activity cards and enter
through the student gates.
This has not been
enforced in the past
because many students
had not had their ID cards
made. However. Assistant
Director of Athletics Bill
Cain has stated that it will
be enforced Saturday.

Commentary
Thursday, October 12, 172
Press must stand guard
had iiihoose 'cMi een
government without press, and press
without government, I would choose the
lutii i
Thomai Jefferson's famous words
took on a local twist this week as a series
of ley a I rulings dumped the
newly-seleeted Publication! Board and
suspended its Chairman pending a
hearing.
S( Attorney General Thomas
Durham issued the rulings Tuesday,
acting on a complaint by this writer.
editor of Fountamhead.
Durham found that the Pub Board
by-laws had been violated in choosing
replacements to fill vacancies in the
Board. He cited four separate by-law
infractions, and ordered that the election
process be conducted again, this time in
compliance with the by-laws.
A second complaint caused Durham to
relieve the Chairman of her duties.
This unfortunate situation, which
leaves all ECL' student publications
without funds, has arisen as the direct
result of conscious violation of the
Publications Board by-laws by those
responsible for their enforcement.
Undoubtedly, strict adherence to the
letter of the law during the first selection
proc ss would have been a great deal
mon trouble than the method used.
Once more, convenience has been the
standard of judging the applicability of
the law.
This same attitude of political
expediency, t he-Constitution -
be-damned, was displayed in the SGA
Executive Branch's handling of the class
officer elections. As you may recall, all
officers of all classes were listed on a
single ballot, which permitted students
of any class to vote for candidates of any
other class. Thus, senior class officers
could have been elected by sophomores
and freshmen The Executive Branch,
which was directly responsible for
conducting the elections according to
the Constitution, shrugged the whole
matter off as a technicality, and
denounced those who complained as
trouble makers.
Rather than be the instrument of
justice and safeguard of individual rights,
the Constitution has often been a flimsy
barricade against those who would have
their own way at any cost.
Fountainhead and its staff will
continue to report violations of the
Constitution, and bring charges when
warranted. Although retaliation could be
forthcoming from those in power who
feel offended, Fountainhead will
continue to insist on full compliance
with the student government Constitution
Leaislature seems Three-ring circus
By DUANE MICHAELSO
Politics-ECTC Style
The much heralded (?) Student
Government Legislature went into
inaction again Monday night The
meeting was called to order and then
there was much rhetoric by Secretary of
International Affairs. Mark Wilson and
also by Robert Twilley. Secretary of
Internal Affairs. The lounging legislators
paid little attention to what they
considered as so much BILL. Then the
magnanimous Tommy Durham took the
podium and told the legislators that in
his role of Attorney General he had
decided that all ex-officio members of
the legislature (i.e. class presidents, etc.)
could vote on any matter coming before
the legislature and that no members of
the executive branch could vote. This
may make one wonder as to the present
status of RICK ATKINSON, who as V P.
of the SGA, is both a member of the
executive branch and an ex-officio
member of the legislature. However. I
am sure that MR ATKINSON will work
this problem out to HIS best advantage
The legislature then went on to
consider THE THRILLING
THREESOME'S" (ROB, RICK AND
MARK don't it just make you want to
fall at THEIR feet) appointees to the
Judicial Branch of the SGA Tim Wehner
pointed out to the legislators that these
appointments were made
unconstitutionally and also perhaps
unethically, and he then asked the
legislators not to approve these
appointments until the constitutional
requirements could be met. Give up,
Wehner Yep. you guessed it. The
legislators dumbly. I mean numbly,
followed THEIR leadership and
approved the appointees with no further
questions asked.
Michael Edwards then introduced two
appropriation bills to be approved. One
concerned the WECL' Radio. It was their
budget request for Fall and Winter of
1972-73. Ed irds went on to point out
that it was discovered that WECU has
their own private bank account to the
tune of some $6,000. WECU officials
stated that this money was used to pay
salanes, to purchase needed equipment
and to pay needed and unforeseen
expenses. Edwards stated that this was
irregular and asked the legislature to
withhold from their budget all monies
for capital improvements and for needed
and unforeseen expenses. However.
Kathy Holloman spoke in favor of
WECU (What?? Wasn't she once an
employee of WECU) You lose,
Edwards. Even in light of such
information, the legislature felt the need
to give the monies ($3,800) to the radio
station; however, they did take away
that I $300) which was directed toward
"needed and unforeseen expenses
Well, those were about all of the
"good" things that the EZU-SGA
legislature did for the week of October
9,1972

Election to chart future course of nation
By DANIEL WHITFORD
Another View
Voters are challenged with the type of
electoral decision this year which the
citizens of few civilizations have ever
faced. They will cast their ballots in an
election which represents a classic
confrontation between two very
basically'opposing ideologies.
George McGovern represents the
general philosophies of the liberal half of
the political spectrum. He advocates an
immediate termination of American
military, economic, and political
involvement in Southeast Aisa in the
belief that our actions in that area serve
no truly worthwhile purpose. He calls
for unilateral American troop
withdrawals from Europe in the belief
that the Communist Bloc nations will
follow suit of their own accord, thus
reducing the still lingering Cold War
tensions. He proposes that the federal
government use more of its resources to
guarantee a reasonable income to every
American in the belief that each citizen
is entitled to a minimum standard of
living. He supports the utilization of
school bussing as a useful tool for
promoting integration in the belief that
bussing is the best way to ensure that
equally adequate educational facilities
are provided for all. He calls for huge
reductions in defense expenditure! in the
belief that present American defense
capabilities are overly adequate.
Richard Nixon represents the general
philosophies of the conservative half of
the political spectrum. He supports
continuation of the gradual American
disengagement from Southeast Asia in
the belief that, by so doing, South
Vietnam will be able to acquire the
capability to deter a communist takeover
on its own. He advocates maintaining
American military commitments at near
the present level in the belief that
prospects for successful negotiations
with the Communist Bloc nations
concerning bilateral troop withdrawals
would be enhanced by a position of
military strength. He proposes that
welfare recipients be allowed to
supplement a guaranteed subsistence
income with income from jobs in the
belief that such a program would
encourage able-bodied welfare recipients
to obtain and maintain employment. He
opposes the use of school bussing solely
to promote integration in the belief that

To Fountainhead:
Have any further comments to make
about ECU football, Mr Editor?
What do you have to say about the
1,200 plus people that filled the ECU
sections in Richmond City Stadium to
witness ECU smother Richmond in the
mud? That's right! In excess of 1,200
people travelled 150 miles, fighting the
floods and the traffic, to watch our
Pirates play the Super Bowl of the
Southern Conference.
You're certainly in a minority with
your warped ideas. People and students
are in the football groove, and some
depreciating, demoralizing newspaper
editor is not going to change the norms
of society.
Also, I would like to know your
credentials on some of the statistics that
you have been spitting out. Where did
they come from? Out of that "Creative"
little brain of yours? Every statistic that
I have found reveals just the contrary to
your claims in your series of editorials.
In conclusion, I challenge you once
again to name just one activity or event
at ECU that unifies the student body as
football does.
Sincerely,
A supporter of ECU football

'Choice of century'
To Fountainhead and to fellow students:
It has become almost a cliche to say
that this year's presidential contest
offers the clearest choice of any in
recent memory, but McGovern's
Tuesday night Vietnam speech once
again reaffirmed that the choice is
indeed clear
Here is one side of the choice:
McGovern's detailed seven point plan for
(1) cessation of bombing and withdrawal
of troops, (2) notification of the other
side of acceptance of "their obligation
under their own seven-point proposal of
1971 to return all POW's and account
for all MlA's" and notification of all
parties that the U.S. will no longer
interfere in the internal politics of
Vietnam, (3) sending of the Vice
President to Hanoi to speed POW return
and MIA accounting, (4) closing of U.S.
bases in Thailand after return of POW's
and MlA's there, (5) joining with other
countries to repair the war wreckage in
Vietnam, (6) expanding educational,
medical and vocational programs for the
neglected Vietnam veterans, and (7)
provision, upon the end i f the war and
the return of the troops to the U.S for
consideration of those "who chose jail or
exile because they could not in
conscience fight in this war" along the
lines of precedent set down by previous
American presidents after major
conflicts.
Here is the other side: Continuing to
indulge Nixon in his penchant for
secrecy in the blind faith that he will
extricate us in four more years from that
which he has failed to extricate us in the
previous four. Remember, half a million
troops in the Pacific are still carrying the
war to Vietnam.
Surveys have repeatedly shown that
the American voter is "turned off" by
the thought of making a political choice
this year and consequently is only dimly
informed of the alternatives (indeed,
Nixon's style lends itself to developing a
dimly informed public.) Are we, then, as
supposedly intelligent human beings, to
make a reasoned choice, or are we to
bury our heads in the sand and choose
Nixon merely for the sake of continuity?
This is the first choice to be made. As
McGovern said Tuesday night: "This is
the choice of a century. But it is also the
same choice that human beings have
faced from the very beginning

Refutes letter
To Fountainhead:
The best thing to do with Mr.
Harrington's letter "Boosts Nixon is to
donate it to the anti-communist
collection in Joyner library. The rhetoric
of his letter clearly fits in with the
rhetoric of the "Christian Crusade
If his only reason for voting for Nixon
is because the Fountainhead supports
him, he ought to change his name to
Johnny Walker and run for Congress!
It seems that Mr. Harrington does not
realize the slaughter that American
bombs have brought to Vietnam
It seems that he does not realize that
40 percent of the Americans killed in
Vietnam have been during the Nixon
administration.
It seems that he does not realize that
each potential pilot is a potential POW
or MIA or at the most, a body in a
draped casket.
It seems that he does not realize that
fairness to Americans, according to
I
it destroys the concept of the
neighborhood school and forces
unnecessary hardship on younger pupils.
He supports maintenance of the defense
budget at near present levels for reasons
similar to his European troop withdrawal
stance. He believes a position of such
military strength will improve the
chances for fruitful arms limitation
negotiations.
The choice of the people will be
between ideas which differ sharply. The
candidates' platforms are not ambiguous.
Any comparison points out marked
contrasts of the candidates' positions of
a magnitude seldom seen in presidential
politics. Consequently, voters are blessed
with an opportunity to cast their ballots
for a political philosophy instead of a
political personality.
To say the least, Americans are at a
crucial crossroads. The road straight
ahead of them is blocked by too much
war, too much poverty, too much
prejudice, and too much waste Waiting
at the road to the left is Senator
McGovern. At the road to the right is
President Nixon. Which way will the
voters turn? Who will they choose to
lead them around the roadblock?
WvWtWftWft
Nixon, is the extermination of the
Democratic Party through espionage.
It seems that he does not realize the
ironies of the Nixon administration of
visiting China and Moscow for peace, but
carrying on war on the Vietnamese
The only immoral cause that the
Fountainhead won't support, Mr.
Harrington, is the re-election of a
Dike-bomber- Richard Nixon!
On November 7, vote McGovern for
President!

Claims exclusion
To Fountainhead:
Today it was brought to my attention
that your paper will not print any
information concerning the East
Carolina University Young Republicans
Club. At first, 1 was surprised that our
college newspaper will not give equal and
balanced treatment. However, after
remembering last year's cartoon
depicting the American flag as the
symbol of Nazi Germany, I was instantly
brought to my senses.
All that I can do is request that your
paper represent all viewpoints on the
campus, and not just those your staff
agrees with. Could it be that the
Fountainhead has forgotten its
mottoand the truth shall make you
free"?
Donald H Lundegard
I Editor s note Mr Lundeoards complaints have no
basis in reality We have received no information fIom
the Young Republicans or the Colleqe Republicans I
