City initiates cadet training
program for Tech students
GREENVILLE, N CAROLINA
TUESDAY. JANUARY 23, 1973
VOLUME IV, NUMBER 28
Union seeks next president
By BRENDAPUGH
Stiff Writer
The city of Greenville has begun a
cadet program to train novice officers.
Chief of Police Edward G. Cannon
described the program, "The cadets will
be four students who have completed
high school and cannot enroll in college.
They are enrolled in Pitt Technical
Institute's Police Science course. These
students. 18-21 years old, will be
working four hours a day and alternate
weekends with the police department
while studying at Pitt Tech
CURRICULUM
The courses in the cadets' curriculum
include Organization and
Administration, Principles of Sociology,
National Government, Introduction to
Criminology, and Mathematics for
Applied Scierje. According to Cannon,
this is the same program offered by the
Coastal Plains Police Academy at Wilson.
The two curricula and the instructors are
the same.
Cannon cited several advantages of
having the cadets work with sworn
officers as part of their training: "For
one thing he stated, "it gives me a
chance to evaluate the student on things
like his clothes and general knowledge. It
also exposes the student to the city, its
policies and its ordinances
"Eventually, the cadets should be able
to serve as school crossing guards and
meter attendants he continued. "We
also won't have to rely on reserve
officers as much. Their first obligation is
to their full-time job
TRAINING NECESSARY
Cannon feels that training is necessary
for a police officer todav. "Policing is a
profession now. In order to upgrade
your officers, you have to give them
preparation. You have to keep them in
school so they can keep up with
changing laws. A man must be trained
and educated to handle the various
situations that arise today
This program, which Cannon and
Lloyd Huggins of Pitt Tech Institute
started formulating five months ago, has
Council approves
Charles St. closing
for May -Sept.
By BRENDAPUGH
SUfl Writer
At its January 11 meeting, the
Greenville City Council approved the
closing of Charles Street from M�y
through September, 1973.
The Council was acting upon a request
from the State Highway Commission.
The Commission's purpose is to widen
Charles Street from two to five lanes
from Tenth Street to Greenville
Boulevard, according to District
Engineer C.W. Snell. Four of the lanes
will be for traffic while the fifth will be
for left turns.
The project includes widening the
bridges and overpass over Green Mill
Run, the stream that runs between
Huey's Restaurant and Foodland
Supermarket. The overpass is currently
being reconstructed by the Northern and
Southern Railroad, according to Fred
Edwards, an enginee with the
Commission. Snell feels that widening
the bridge should take three to four
months during which traffic will not
cross it.
The whole project is expected to take
12-15 months.
Access to Foodland, Huey's and
Minges Coliseum will not be cut off. All
of these are situated near the Green Mill
crossing. According to Snell, shoppers
will be able to reach Foodland from
Fourteenth Street. Minges Coliseum and
Huey's will be accessible from Greenville
Boulevard and other streets. Only the
bridge will actually be closed to traffic.
An alternative to rerouting traffic
through Greenville Boulevard, Elm
Street and Tenth Street would be
building a temporary bridge across Green
Mill Stream. Snell pointed out that such
a bridge would be an added expense for
taxpayers and yet unsafe

Council.
'I think we are getting a more

stated. "I don't anticipate any problems

Psych major to
enter World
Campus Afloat
James William East, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Malcolm East. 1633 Normandy
Lane, W i n ston-Salem. a junior
psychology major from East Carolina
University, has been admitted to World
Campus Afloat Chapman College for
the Spring, 1973 semester at sea.
East will join up to 500 other college
students representing 200 colleges and
universities in nearly all the 50 states on
Feb. 6. when World Campus Afloat
departs Port Everglades, Fla for a
study-voyage to ports in Africa and Asia,
terminating May 27. at Los Angeles.
Students carry a regular semester's
units and attend classes at sea between
ports on the shipboard campus which is
equipped with the classrooms,
laboratones, library, studio, theatre,
bookstore and offices necessary to the
educational program offered. Campus
for the program is the 18,000-gross-ton
S.S. Universe Campus, owned by Seawise
Foundations. Inc and operated by
Orient Overseas Lines with head offices
in San Francisco.
Ashore the academic program
continues with lectures, research
programs, and field tnps directly related
to course work. Overnight homestays
with families often are arranged, as are
social events with local university
students.
'Preparation has already begun to
select the new president of the Student
Union said Gary Massie, the 1'nion's
present president. Massie, who began his
term of office on May 1. 1972, will step
down on the same date this year
For the first time ever, the new 1'nion
president, whomever he is, will be
experiencing an "orientation period" for
two and one-half months before
officially taking office.
"During this time said Massie, "the
new president will be acquainting
himself with various aspects of the
office, to insure that the transition of
administrations will be much smoother
FIRST DUTIES
One of the first duties of the Union
president-elect will be to attend the
National Entertainment Conference in
Cincinatti between Feb. 18 and 21. Here
the new president will meet with other
college union presidents from across the
nation to look at the "offerings" in
talent for each'a school.
During the month of March, Massie
will be helping to select cl.airmen for the

eleven committed that come under tin
control of the Student Union, He will
be going over future programs of
the upcoming year with these chairmen
in an attempt to restaff the various
i ommitteet,
Budget plant will be formulated
during April, According to Maaaie, the
l i,ion will have approximately $100,000
to work with during the coming fiscal
year. A small surplus should be available
for the now president, says Massie
COOPERATION
Part of the responsibility of the new
president will to be to cooperate with
the student Union Board of Directors in
directing the entertainment available for
next year's ECU student Inherent in this
a cording to Massie. will be the
need of the new president to learn
something about the legal aspects of the
entertainment industry, and particularly
how to work with other people.
The new president will not
necessarily have to have previous
experience says Massie. "The Board of
Directors will be looking for a person
wanting to briny the best programming
to the school. By programming. I mean
all the extra curricular activities
sponsored by the Union that contribute
to the culturally well-rounded education
of the individual
The aim of the new Union will be "to
build a program that will be the best in
the entire country Massie said. He feels
that with the resources now availabl to
the ECU Union, that the goal can be
act omplished.
"I want to see the Student I nion do
the things (in the coming yean we did
this year he stated. "Particularly. 1
would like to see some off-Broadway
productions brought to the campus
Applications for the office of Union
president will be accepted at the
information desk in Wright Building

held by the Board of Dire tors Feb. 18,

May 1, 1973. interested students must
have a 2.0 overall average and be a
full-time student.
Dean disappointed with Board's
decision on two-year expansion
Committee to maintain
organize Homecoming
Dr. Wallace Wooles, dean of the
medical school, feels the school will
continue to grow inspite of the recent
ruling by the Board of Governors
postponing a one-year addition to the
Medical School.
"The only thing we can do since we
are new is grow and develop Wooles
commented.
He expressed disappointment that the
University of North Carolina Board of
Governors voted not to expand the
medical school to a two-year program.
"We are disappointed they did not see fit
to add a second year and we are
disappointed that instead of taking
positive action, they called for a study
Wooles stated.
Wooles cited a report showing a need
for medical expansion in North Carolina.
"For the first time the Board of
Governors finally found out the need.
They recommended that the
UNC-Chapel Hill school should expand.
According to Wooles, this just means
the second year will have to be
by-passed. "We had hoped ultimately for
four years he said. If the second year
had been added, it would have been
easier to build on. We really didn't get
set back more than a year basically
DEAD CONCEPT
Wooles feels that the concept of the
two year school is dead. The second year
would have helped but what is really
needed is a four year school. He feels the
study group will find the only logical
place to meet the need for medical
expansion will be here.
According to Wooles, the
contributions to the medical school will
continue to come in and not be effected
by the setback. "I think most people see
this is a school of medicine and they will
continue to help in the best possible
way, by contributions. People that
contribute believe it's the only way their
needs are to be met
Wooles stressed the importance of
time. He said if everything was started
today for a four-year school, it would be
seven years before any students would
graduate. He added that every year delay
makes the situation worse.
LOWER COST
Wooles said the cost of a medical
school would not be as high as many
people think. A lot of people that talk
about the high cost of medical schools
are thinking about additions such as
dental schools. "A four-year medical
school would be anywhere between
$20-40 million. That's still a lot of
money, but relatively speaking, it's
cheap
The cost of the present one-year
school is about $1,500,000.

Members of the student body, faculty
and administration met Thursday. Jan.
15, to express opinions on Homecoming
and to consider its future at ECU.
In examining the nature of
Homecoming. Athletic Director Clarence
Stasavich suggested that it is a festival to
bring faculty, students and alumni
together for social, though not
necessarily athletic, events. It was also
noted that Homecoming was a tradition.
"It's the thing that has lasted the longest
around here, with the exception of some
faculty members someone observed.
Several purposes that Homecoming
serves were also discussed. It was felt by
the majority in attendance that the
weekend not only unites the University
community but also provides
atmosphere to and advertising for the
school, said Wayne Sullivan, chairman of
the Popular Entertainment Committee.
Who is Homecoming for? One widely
held view is that Homecoming is
designed for anyone connected with the
University or residing in or around
Greenville. However, the opinion that
the affair is meaningful basically only to
Greek organizations was also expressed.
Various types of activities were
mentioned as desirable. These include
the following: a parade, a football game,
popular entertainment, a breakfast,
activities designed for alumni, a dance, a
pep rally, an open house at the Union
with entertainment, decorating dorms
and sorority houses, games such as bike
races, and election of a Homecoming
queen.
Generally, it was agreed by the 36
people present that Homecoming should
be continued. It was suggested that a
special steering committee organize the
event. Members of this committee would
represent every campus organization as
well as the city government and
Chamber of Commerce.
Thursday's meeting was authorized by
the Union Board of Directors and
conducted by Executive Director of the
Union Rudolph Alexander. The Board
will consider the suggestions at a future
meeting.
In evaluating the meeting, Alexander
stated, "With the apathy (toward
Homecoming) shown this year. I was
pleased with the turn out. Our whole
purpose was to hear what people had to
say
Stasavich agreed: "I thought that as
far as the whole student body is
concerned, it was one of the most
fruitful meetings I've attended. 1 was
particularly glad to hear the response of
the students. My job isto do what they
like done
Art Weatherwax. chairman of the
Special Events Committee, commented.
"There were a lot of things discussed,
but I don't think that anyone has given
any in-depth thought to what they're
saying. I think there needs to be a lot
more discussing

which can be moved and rearranged to

the plays will be run, is still in progress.
It should be quite attractive when it's

1 he theatei lias a seating capacity of
about 150 l hi stage, being only slightly

that some plays do not come across as
well in a large theater and are written

example of Broadway plays and
off Broadway plays

Construction Of new modern
classroom buildings has obstruction
much of the beauty which originally
dominated the ECU campus.
Kew landmarks remain. Those that
have)t been torn down retain the
memory of noted individuals which had
I significant role in the history of BCU.
Wright Circle and the Salhe Joyner Davis
Arboretum located behind Graham are
sued dedicated areas
The circle was built the HUM year as
Gotten Hull, 1926. Apparently the circle
was without name until 1945. Martin L.
Wright, who served on the campus
landscape committee, died in IMi, and
the area was dedicated in his honor.
Excepting the addition of the fountain,
little has been done to change the
characteristics Of Wright Circle; the
fountain, I class gift, was constructed in
1933. Actually, there are no old
traditions linked with Wright Cncle. The
late Miss Cynthia Anne Mendenhall was
responsible for obtaining the lights used
to decorate the large magnolia tree
during the Christmas season.
POflD GONE
A professor ul history between 1909
and 1946, Salhe Joyner Davis, has also
been remembered with such a dedicated
area The gate between Raw! and
Graham leads into the Sallie Joyner
Davis Arboretum which at one time
featured a large pond. An effort has been
made to retain the natural characteristics
of the Arboretum
Class gifts have been added to the
campus from time to time. Among these
are the Japanese Bell outside of
Memorial Gym, the sun dial behind the
Croatan, gateways in honor of certain
professors and the wall with "East
Carolina University" facing Fifth Street
which was given by the Class of '71. The
Carillon on top of Austin, given by the
Class of bK. plays the alma mater each
day
LANDSCAPE DESTRUCTION

1 iiiversity has resulted in the destruction
of the natural landscape on campus.

buildings. Originally anticipated for the
new student union is an area on the
ground floor for art exhibits. The area
adjacent to the sun dial behind the
Croatan was originally planned for art
exhibits
The art department presently is not
very involved with exhibiting works on
campus as most of their involvement ii
"inside such as the Kate Lewis Art
Gallery in Whichard. Their restriction of
art exhibits is a result of the plans to
move into a future building. During the
early and mid 60's. art had been
exhibited on campus; however, it has
been discontinued because a piece of
sculpture was destroyed. The art
department currently is designing name
signs for the buildings. After the move,
the art department may try to "spot"
things on campus
HOPE OF BEAUTY?
Plans to beautify the campus and
preserve old landmarks may seem at a
standstill, as construction on the main
campus is coming to a final stage. The
growth of the University has caused
campus beautification to be regarded in
terms of architecture and art rather than
nature.

North Carolina re-instates death penalty
4HftH3B0MoWtoK�-x:K$Sft&&W
By BO PERKINS
New tditnr
The United States Supreme Court
ruled last year that capital punishment is
a "cruel and unusual punishment and
as such was unconstitutional.
Immediately a furor arose from the solid
law-and-order citizens of North Carolina
as to how a federal judicial body could
even question, much less declare illegal,
such a time-honored and cherished
tradition as that of capital punishment.
Realizing that in 1819 John Marshall
had already established that the U.S.
Supreme Court was superior in judgment
over any other court in the land, these
solid citizens knew that it would be
useless to simply ignore the ruling.
Therefore, they attempted the only
other "logical" means they could find to
reinstate the old "eyeball for eyeball"
principle to make death mandatory in
certain cases.
The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled
that the death penalty was an arbitrary
action, differing from one crime to

Lyndon Baines Johnson.
another, depending in which state one
committed the crime, and therefore was
not in tune with the "equal protection
clause" (Archaic studied by some law
school sects throughout the country and
practiced by certain medieval judicial
assemblies.)
Acting on this public pressure, the
North Carolina Supreme Court has
found it expedient to breathe the breath
of life back into its demised friend.
Capital punishment is back.
What the protectors of society
apparently failed to realize is that in
making the death penalty mandatory for
rape, first degree burglary, first degree
murder and arson, they have actually
placed an additional burden on juries
that must decide now, "Did he, or didn't
he do it
Rape is a good example. Before, it was
almost impossible to "prove" rape
(physical entry) without the benefit of
witnesses. However, juries were more
prone to believe guilt when they felt the
defendent would not be executed. Now,
rape means automatic death. Criminal
attorneys will impress upon future juries
that a j ty plea from them will send
the def :i ont to a sure death a heavy
load f have on one's conscience.

"What are we to do?" cry the law and
order crowd. "Let all those perverts
conti.iue to roam the streets?" Society
must offer a deterrent factor (Judaic
revenge is not in vogue today) to keep
itself safe.
One solution would be to leave the
old laws alone, and to make executions
public. This writer sees little deterrent
value in taking a human being and
gassing him in a small r om in Raleigh,
three to six years ex post facto, with
perhaps ten witnesses at most getting
"morally deterred" from committing the
same act.
Mow many of us today recall the fate
of Richard Speck, or Sirhan Sirhan, or
Charles Manson? If society still demands
the supreme price, let the transaction be
made in the open marketplace - not
behind locked doors.

Quantity or Quality
To Fountainhead:
Upon reviewing the past several years
at East Carolina, several thoughts, in
accordance with the years, on its
situation past and present are in need of
siring It's sad to think that the past was
better than the present. ECU has grown
physically each year in numbers of
buildings and student, yet what a pitiful
growth it is where quality is sacrificed
for quantity The pyric victory of the
administration over student activism has

Cheers lack spirit
To Fountainhead:
I am writing this letter in disgust of
our so-called Cheerleaders. The only
ones that show any school spirit at all
are the girls that were on the freshman
squad last year. The others just stand
and smile at all the onlookers they are
out to entertain.
Last night we played a good team,
George Washington, in basketball. It was
very close after the teams played about
five minutes in the second half. Our
cheerleaders just stood and smiled and
only bothered to dance at timeouts. I am
concerned about this. I blame this on the
ones that were on the varsity squad last
j ear.
Sincerely,
Concerned Sports Fan
P.S. We had a damn good football
cheerleading squad
Champ frustrated
To Fountainhead:
I must commend the administration
for its decision concerning the class
cancellations last Monday and Tuesday.
It was refreshingly surprising to see some
tangible evidence that the school
officials were concerned about their
students traveling to and from class on
those icy roads. But those sidewalks
Wednesday through Monday of this
week were something short of a Western
North Carolina ski slope. I like ice and
snow as well as any 10 year old, but
when walking on sidewalks becomes a
challenge instead of an unconscious
activity, something's wrong. Where were
those maintenance engineers with the
salt, sand, and shovels. Downtown
Greenville was way ahead of ECU
maintenance. Those downtown
sidewalks were cleaned on Wednesday,
and I don't have any classes down there.
I was lucky enough not to fall, but I
saw plenty of students who couldn't
meet the challenge and did. Next time,
ECU maintenance, see if you can help
the students out and clear those
sidewalks as soon as possible, otherwise
I'll have to break out my Peggy Fleming
ice skates and a strategically placed
pillow.

concert. I intended to purchase a ticket
for myself and for another female
student. I told the ticket seller that I
wanted two student tickets, one for
myself and one for the other student. I
presented her the two sets of ID and
activity cards along with the required
amount of money. She proceeded to
take my money, punch my activity card,
give me my ticket. She then informed
me that 1 could not purchase a ticket for
another student. I told her I had done so
before and asked why I could not now. I
was told that only male students were
allowed to purchase tickets for other
students (their dates) and that female
students could not purchase tickets for
other female students. I asked why there
was such a policy. The answer I received
was that ECU did not have an
auditorium large enough to hold the
entire student body. This is true;
however, it appears highly unfair and
prejudiced to me to allow some student
to purchase tickets for friends and not to
allow other students to do the same. The
policy is sex based and discriminates
against women students. People cry out
for a first come first served system, so
why is that such a biased policy exists,
allowing male students to benefit and
female students to suffer at the expense
of the male students.
Whether the SGA committee which
makes this policy is run by female or
male students, it is clearly visible that
over half of the student population is
being treated unfairly. It is high time we
acknowledged this fact. It is high time
we did something constructive about it.

Females at a

To Fountainhead:
This incident was simply too funny to
go unnoticed by everyone but me. The
setting of the story is the "Buc Sunday
the seventh of January.
1 go to the "Buc" regularly and
occasionally I see this blue-eyed beauty
with long brown curls. Well, Sunday
night she walked in there with a
coca-cola and a bag of cheese nips or
something. Then she went and sat down
and watched the band. Three redneck
moved over and started talking to her.
She politely talked back to them. One
guy looked like a Spanish conquistador,
one like an escapee from roller derby
(shirt unbuttoned down to mid-ribs
showing his growth of manhood), and
the other thought he was Roy Rogers.
Well, Roy Rogers asked her to dance. I
saw her look off to one side like she was
going to throw up as she politely
accepted. He danced a while, and then
he slung his boots across the floorthey
were black cowboy boots with the twirly
embroidered tops! It was hilarious. I've
been wanting to date this girl for some
time, but now I'm afraid if I go over to
her I'll bust out laughing.
She ran outside and stood around in
the snow. I went out to talk to her but
some guy had already beat me to it. And
every time I went out to check and see if
she was alone, she was talking to some
guy. It is perfectly understandable.
