Union reveals Outdoor Concert plans Students get voice in hiring<lb/>
Member of the Student Union<lb/>
Popular Entertainment Committee have<lb/>
been working for the past two weeks on<lb/>
the idea of bringing an outdoor concert<lb/>
of a major type" to East Carolina within<lb/>
the next year.<lb/>
According to Wayne Sullivan,<lb/>
president of the Popular Kntertainment<lb/>
Committee, the concert, if and when all<lb/>
problems could he worked out, would be<lb/>
held in Kicklen Stadium. It would be a<lb/>
mu It i entertainment show, consisting of<lb/>
a headliner group and two or three other<lb/>
groups.<lb/>
Original discussion centered on the<lb/>
possibility of having the cor ert this<lb/>
spring quarter, but because ol the time<lb/>
factor involved, it now seems impossible<lb/>
that all the proper arrangements could<lb/>
be made in time, says Sullivan. However,<lb/>
the committee has not abandoned the<lb/>
idea of the outdoor concert.<lb/>
"The biggest problem we have<lb/>
encountered about the concert is the<lb/>
time says Sullivan. "If we could have<lb/>
started planning in the fall, we could<lb/>
really have been set for this spring, but<lb/>
we need at least 5 or 6 months to<lb/>
arrange something like this<lb/>
Sullivan cited several problems that the<lb/>
Pop Committee would have to resolve in<lb/>
order to hold the event. "We are gon g to<lb/>
need a certain amount of "public"<lb/>
attendance to make the concert<lb/>
financially sucessful he said. "Also, we<lb/>
would need as many or more policeman<lb/>
at the concert as at a football game. Plus<lb/>
we would have to double the number of<lb/>
ushers now used at our concerts<lb/>
The Student Union has a stage at its<lb/>
disposal to use for the outdoor affair,<lb/>
but they would also need a tent to cover<lb/>
the groups. Minges Colisuem would have<lb/>
to serve as the dressing rooms for the<lb/>
groups, and the Union would have to<lb/>
provide car rentals for the entertainers<lb/>
"We would also have to have a doctor<lb/>
and two or three nurses on hand added<lb/>
Sullivan.<lb/>
The cost of wiring and cleanup would<lb/>
add to the expense, giving the concert a<lb/>
larger "total production cost than the<lb/>
regular concert in Minges<lb/>
Sullivan emphasized that his<lb/>
committee is not pe limistic about the<lb/>
idea of an outdoor concert, however<lb/>
"We're not taking a negative approach<lb/>
he sas. The committee are working as<lb/>
hard as they can to bring this about in<lb/>
the future, if not this year<lb/>
Fountainhead gets editor<lb/>
Bo Perkins, former Fountainhead news<lb/>
editor, was elected editor-in-chief of the<lb/>
publication at Wednesday night's Pub<lb/>
Board meeting. Perkins' editorship will<lb/>
extend through Spring Quarter, when<lb/>
the 1973-7-1 editor is chosen.<lb/>
Perkins, who has worked with<lb/>
Fountainhead for eight quarters,<lb/>
explained his objectives for the<lb/>
newspaper.<lb/>
"I've spent a great deal of time trying<lb/>
to make Fountainhead into a<lb/>
Student aids Watergate plan<lb/>
for college honors credit<lb/>
(CPS) A Brigham Young University<lb/>
student, whose honors-program research<lb/>
project was revealed in the Watergate<lb/>
trial to be political espionage, may face<lb/>
university discipline "including<lb/>
suspension or expulsion<lb/>
Thomas James Uregory, 25, the<lb/>
prosecution's first major witness in the<lb/>
Washington, D.C. trial, testified January<lb/>
12 that he had been recruited last spring<lb/>
by former White House aide E. Howard<lb/>
Hunt to work as a GOP undercover agent<lb/>
in the Washington headquarters of<lb/>
Democratic Prsidential candidates<lb/>
Edmund Muskie and George McGovern.<lb/>
Gregory said he met Hunt, using the<lb/>
name "Ed" or "Earl Warren' at least<lb/>
once a week where they exchanged<lb/>
"pre-typed" reports for envelopes<lb/>
containing the -SI 75 weekly salary<lb/>
promised Gregory. Hunt requested<lb/>
additional intelligence of the Democratic<lb/>
Presidential campaigns including a<lb/>
detailed floor plan of McGovern's<lb/>
headquarters.<lb/>
Gregory, a history student, was to have<lb/>
received 16 credits as independent study<lb/>
for his participation in the Democratic-<lb/>
Presidential campaigns and for a term<lb/>
paper about his experiences.<lb/>
"But if all this is true, then he won't<lb/>
get any credits said Dr. J. Keith<lb/>
Melville, a BYU professor and Gregory's<lb/>
faculty advisor. At least he won't get any<lb/>
from me. He was supposed to be<lb/>
working for the Democrats, not against<lb/>
them.<lb/>
Without the 16 credits, Gregory may<lb/>
not be able to graduate in April as he<lb/>
had planned. He may also face<lb/>
suspension or expulsion from the<lb/>
university for "violation of a principle of<lb/>
the code of honor according to Dallin<lb/>
H. Oaks, president of BYU. "1 am<lb/>
satisfied that no university teacher or<lb/>
official had any knowledge of the alleged<lb/>
spying said Oaks. "If the spying took<lb/>
place , we deplore it<lb/>
News of Gregory's involvement in the<lb/>
alleged hugging and burglary incident has<lb/>
created a stir at the private mormon<lb/>
school in Provo, Utah. It was the major<lb/>
story on the university newspaper's front<lb/>
page, and according to some students.<lb/>
widely discussed on campus.<lb/>
X-ray amplifier laser to<lb/>
have numerous applications<lb/>
Dr. Richard A. McCorkle of the ECU<lb/>
Physics Department has reported a<lb/>
method for amplifying x-rays in the soft<lb/>
regions of the x-ray spectrum by<lb/>
stimulated x-ray emission.<lb/>
The device involved is called an x-ray<lb/>
amplifier. Once actually built, the<lb/>
amplifier will be incorporated into an<lb/>
x-ray laser. The laser, in turn, would<lb/>
have numerous applications in research,<lb/>
medicine, and warfare, according to<lb/>
McCorkle.<lb/>
One use would be holography on the<lb/>
molecular level. This procedure provides<lb/>
three-dimensional photographs of a given<lb/>
subject. Molecules such as DNA could be<lb/>
examined in much greater detail than is<lb/>
now possible.<lb/>
Medical applications of the laser<lb/>
should include cancer therapy. The beam<lb/>
could be focused upon cancer cells and<lb/>
destroy them without damaging healthy<lb/>
I tissue. Conventional lasers are now being<lb/>
, used for such purposes.<lb/>
Military uses of the x-ray laser are also<lb/>
 conceivable. McCorkle noted, for<lb/>
I example, that possibly they could be<lb/>
I used to trigger incoming warheads. For<lb/>
I this particular application, however, the<lb/>
 problem of atmospheric absorption of<lb/>
� x-rays would have to be solved<lb/>
A SCIENCE NEWS article stated, "The<lb/>
1 device would use a beam of accelerated<lb/>
I heavy ions and a thin foil. By proper use<lb/>
� of a pulsed electric field, the ion beam is<lb/>
Smade t strike the foil in a spot that<lb/>
Esweeps along the length of the foil at a<lb/>
�speed near that of light<lb/>
( "As the ions strike the atoms of the<lb/>
Soil a population inversion (more excited<lb/>
tates than unexcitedl appears among<lb/>
le inner electrons of either the ions, the<lb/>
toms. or both. An x ray emission that<lb/>
arts as a result of decay of the excited<lb/>
states at the point where the<lb/>
bombardment begins could be<lb/>
coherently amplified as it passed down<lb/>
the length of the foil and encountered<lb/>
the inverted populations left by the ion<lb/>
beam. Proper combinations of the<lb/>
elements in the ion beam and the foil<lb/>
could produce different wavelengths<lb/>
Significant recognition has come to<lb/>
McCorkle as a result of his achievment.<lb/>
In November 1972, he presented an<lb/>
invited paper at a Laser Symposium in<lb/>
Key Largo, Florida sponsored by the<lb/>
University of Arizona. Several invitations<lb/>
to governmental and industrial<lb/>
laboratories have resulted in consulting<lb/>
arrangements with these groups for the<lb/>
purpose of pursuing laboratory<lb/>
experiments toward achieving lasing<lb/>
action in the soft x-ray region. In<lb/>
particular, an effort at Lawrence<lb/>
Livermore laboratories, with the<lb/>
explicit interest of Edward Teller,<lb/>
appears underway. In April, McCorkle<lb/>
will speak by invitation to the American<lb/>
Physics Society in Washington, D. C. due<lb/>
to recognition of his work by Arthur<lb/>
Schalow, co-inventor of the laser. His<lb/>
publication appeared in the 8 October<lb/>
issue of PHYSICAL REVIEW<lb/>
LETTERS, accounts of which were<lb/>
carried in SCIENCE NEWS and the NEW<lb/>
YORK TIMES.<lb/>
During the summer of 1973, McCorkle<lb/>
will be attempting to construct a laser<lb/>
incorporating his design. This work will<lb/>
be conducted at IBM's Thomas J.<lb/>
Watson Laboratories in Yorktown<lb/>
Heights, New York. He is joined in this<lb/>
effort by John Arrong, director of<lb/>
the quantum electronic, group. Rod<lb/>
Hodgson, Charles Zaro in, and Peter<lb/>
Sorokin. This group h s an impressive<lb/>
history in laser work their<lb/>
professional newspaper he said. "I<lb/>
believe that what motivates the reader of<lb/>
a daily paper motivates college students<lb/>
as well<lb/>
Future Fountainhead plans include an<lb/>
issue analysis of the SGA elections and<lb/>
an increase in interpretive or in-depth<lb/>
reporting.<lb/>
Also competing for the editorship at<lb/>
Wednesday's meeting were Mike<lb/>
Edwards, Fountainhead circulation<lb/>
manager, and Mick Godwin, business<lb/>
manager.<lb/>

reports the 50-year-old woman's body<lb/>
was discovered in an ancient burial pit<lb/>
sealed within six coffins along with a full<lb/>
complement of food, clothing and<lb/>
utensils for use in the next life. The<lb/>

Blacks get needed attention: Scott<lb/>
By BRENDAPUGh<lb/>

In dealing with sociology. Dr. William<lb/>
Scott is concerned with the problems of<lb/>
institutionalized racism, health services<lb/>
and education. "The three he said,<lb/>
"are hard to separate<lb/>
A member of the President's Advisory<lb/>
Council, and Chairman of Sociology and<lb/>
Social Services at NC Agricultural and<lb/>
Technical University. Dr. Scott spoke to<lb/>
students of the importance of sociology<lb/>
in solving these problems.<lb/>
"In institution racism continued<lb/>
Scott, "the majority group sets the<lb/>
standards to determine right or wrong,<lb/>
good and had, ugly and beautiful. This<lb/>
has a negative impact on all the<lb/>
non-white groups. F'or example he<lb/>
added, "is it true blondes have more<lb/>
fun?Moreover, scores on college board<lb/>
examinations are very important. Yet<lb/>
the form of the questions and the norms<lb/>
ignore the Black experience<lb/>
The native Texan's interest in<lb/>
sociology and social services began as a<lb/>
result of personal experiences. "When I<lb/>
was younger he began, "I became<lb/>
sensitive to the differences in people.<lb/>
Then as a musician I did a lot of<lb/>
travelling and observed the variety in<lb/>
people. I became a people watcher. Whe<lb/>

Scott, a black, is extremely concerned<lb/>
in the area of health for the black<lb/>
minorities. Millions of black people are<lb/>
afflicted with the ethnic-oriented disease<lb/>
of sickle-cell anemia. Many blacks have<lb/>
serious health problems. However, many<lb/>
of the people in the field are white<lb/>
Therefore, black people get Utth of the<lb/>
needed attention<lb/>
Education, Scott feels, is the bridge<lb/>
over the two pressing problems of racism<lb/>
and health care. Sociology hasn 't<lb/>
changed much according to Scott who<lb/>
feels that the acedemic discipline will<lb/>
provide understanding of the problems<lb/>
plaguing society. "Social services said<lb/>
Scott, "has experienced progress in<lb/>
better training Training at the bachelor's<lb/>
level now provides workers for the<lb/>
mental health field as well as for<lb/>
hospitals, schools, and courts<lb/>
Scott discussed the private interests of<lb/>
the Welfare program. 'Welfare is giving<lb/>
tax dollars to private interests such as<lb/>
business administration, fathers or<lb/>
dependent mothers Scott expressed a<lb/>
belief that it works "better for those<lb/>
getting larger sums such is subsidies to<lb/>
airlines and industries than for those<lb/>
getting smaller sums such as AFDC (Aid<lb/>

measurement of picosecond laser pulses.<lb/>
According to McCorkle, valuable<lb/>
Legal action taken<lb/>
contributions were made to his work by<lb/>
Dr. J. M. Joyce of the Department of<lb/>
Physics. Dr. J. L. Cox of Old Dominion<lb/>

Services. This program. Scott explained,<lb/>
is to bring black educator's in sociology<lb/>
and rehabihtational services into federal<lb/>
offices to gain knowledge about the<lb/>
development. funding and future<lb/>
programs on the federal level " The<lb/>
initial theory behind this effective<lb/>
internship is better preparation through<lb/>
national level knowledge.<lb/>
Scott also evaluated ECV's<lb/>
undergraduate programs in sociology and<lb/>
social services and termed it "one of the<lb/>
finest in North Carolina and in the<lb/>

cores of sediment from the sea bottom.<lb/>
Dr. Emiliam was able to determine that<lb/>
periods of freezing in the earth's history<lb/>
came much more frequently than science<lb/>
had estimated, and the intervening<lb/>
periods of warmth were much shorter.<lb/>
The February issue of SCIENCE<lb/>
DIGEST reports that Dr. Emihani and<lb/>
other global chmatologists determined<lb/>
the next Ice Age may come in a few<lb/>

Honor code constitutionality under dispute<lb/>
(CPS) - After seven months the<lb/>
controversy over the constitutionality of<lb/>
the honor code at Mary Washington<lb/>
College in Fredencksburg, Virginia still<lb/>
rages, and the student who initiated legal<lb/>
action against the school is still<lb/>
struggling to gain court-ordered<lb/>
read mission.<lb/>
At mid-semester of the 1971 72 school<lb/>
year, the student-run honor council<lb/>
expelled a fellow-student, finding her<lb/>
guilty of an alleged on-campus theft.<lb/>
Immediately, the ex-student initiated<lb/>
legal action against the college,<lb/>
requesting immediate readmission. Ralph<lb/>
Buxton, attorney for the ex-student,<lb/>
argued that her constitutional rights<lb/>
under the 14th amendment had been<lb/>
violated by her dismissal, and that a state<lb/>
institution has no legal authority to<lb/>
delegate powers of absolute dismissal to<lb/>
a student-run honor council.<lb/>
Although a federal district judge<lb/>
denied immediate readmission. he<lb/>
expressed his feelings that the ex-student<lb/>
had "a very strong case setting a<lb/>
hearing on the merits of the case for late<lb/>
February.<lb/>
Attorneys for Mary Washington<lb/>
College denied that the ex-student's<lb/>
constitutional rights had been violated<lb/>
by her dismissal, and campus-related<lb/>
organizations such as the Board of<lb/>
Visitors' vowed "to defend<lb/>
vigorouslythe honor system and the<lb/>
college and to appeal an adverse<lb/>
decision "so far as is possible<lb/>
With all the markings of a full-scale<lb/>
battle developing. MWC officials<lb/>
suddenly and without explanation,<lb/>
"offered to readmit the plaintiff, to<lb/>
expunge all references to her honor<lb/>
conviction from her record and to allow<lb/>
her to make up those exams she was to<lb/>
take December, 1971<lb/>
The Board then argued that since the<lb/>
plaintiff had been offered what she had<lb/>
been seeking, there remained no issue for<lb/>
a court to decide, therefore requesting<lb/>
the court to dismiss all action against the<lb/>
college.<lb/>
MWC officials refused to comment on<lb/>
the sudden change in attitude toward<lb/>
readmission of the ex-student, but<lb/>
sources close to the college stated that<lb/>
school attorneys "eared the court<lb/>
decision would be adverse to the c A<lb/>
representative from the Virginia<lb/>
Attorney General's office commented<lb/>
that the decision to readmit the<lb/>
ex-student was "the best course of<lb/>
action to follow at the time<lb/>
A federal district judge dismissed the<lb/>
case, but attorneys for the ex-student<lb/>
stated that dropping the suit still left<lb/>
unresolved an honor council's right of<lb/>
dismissal.<lb/>
Later. Buxton announced that he<lb/>
would appeal the decision to drop the<lb/>
case "We are still maintaining our<lb/>
opposition he stated, concerning the<lb/>
principle involved in the authority of the<lb/>
honor council to dismiss students.<lb/>
Buxton explained that the ex-student<lb/>
still objects to signing a required honor<lb/>
pledge and, upon her readmittance, she<lb/>
will refuse to sign it.<lb/>
A federal district judge then granted<lb/>
Buxton's motion to reopen the case, and<lb/>
college officials subsequently rescinded<lb/>
their offer to readmit the ex-student.<lb/>
The judge stated that one issue in the<lb/>
case remains unresolved. "That issue<lb/>
he explained, "is whether by being<lb/>
required to acl nowledge commitment to<lb/>
the honor code as a condition of<lb/>
admission and graduation, the plaintiff is<lb/>
being subjected to an unconstitutional<lb/>
deprivation of rights<lb/>

Pessimistic publicity concerning the<lb/>
nation's job market has stricken the<lb/>
average college student with fears about<lb/>
his future job prospects.<lb/>
Placement Director Furney K James<lb/>
wants to dispel this mth and encourage<lb/>
campus students to take advantage of<lb/>
what is actually anexpandedjob market.<lb/>
James nyg this publicity has caused<lb/>
many students to be slow in seeking<lb/>
jobs. It also makes them pessimisti<lb/>
when they do participate in an interview<lb/>
One girl had been to Hi interviews<lb/>
after leaving college and on her<lb/>
seventeenth she began the interview with<lb/>
"I guess after the interview you'll find<lb/>
you don't need me ' This pessimism<lb/>
hurts the person's ability to get a job.<lb/>
James says<lb/>
SUPPLY AND DEMAND MATCH<lb/>
Supply of students seeking jobs and<lb/>
demand of prospective employers are<lb/>
beginning to match each other. SmaJler<lb/>
companies are beginning to hire college<lb/>
graduates Larger companies are<lb/>
searching for more graduates. James<lb/>
noted one textile company interviewing<lb/>
at ECU has 150 jobs open compared<lb/>
with 75 last year<lb/>
( Iffering sales pitches and seeking<lb/>
applicant's sales pitches are 67 business<lb/>
firms and 52 s hool systems. Interviews<lb/>
have been taking place since fall. Many<lb/>
firms hav. returned to campus more<lb/>
than 0110 .lames said February. March<lb/>
and ;nl are the heaviest interview<lb/>
id Most job offers will take<lb/>
then If seniors have not yet<lb/>
registered with the Placement Office . he<lb/>
thej should do so now. Students<lb/>
:�� : leistered before attending an<lb/>
inten i <lb/>
Great Shift<lb/>
Market<lb/>
in<lb/>
"There has been a great shift from the<lb/>
type of positions being offered to the<lb/>
graduate. At one time, teaching positions<lb/>
were at the top of the list in positions<lb/>
being offered, but now with our School<lb/>
of Business developed, we find ourselves<lb/>
receiving more business and industrial<lb/>
openings than teaching positions James<lb/>
noted.<lb/>
Students registered with the service<lb/>
last year numbered 1.387, 987 of whom<lb/>
were seniors Of those seniors, only 90<lb/>
are still unempolyed.<lb/>
GIVES SERVICE FREE<lb/>
The placement service is a free service<lb/>
offered by the college Seniors receive<lb/>
most of the services, however, juniors<lb/>
receive occasional help in finding jobs.<lb/>
Once registered with the placement<lb/>
office, a student has the services of the<lb/>
campus placement service wherever he<lb/>
goes. In this way. a student may move<lb/>
from one part of the country to another<lb/>
and still receive placement services in the<lb/>
new area<lb/>
Business and education majors are in<lb/>
greatest demand at present, according to<lb/>
James Accountants and salesmen are<lb/>
most sought in the business field.<lb/>
Industrial arts, elementary education and<lb/>
physical education graduates have<lb/>
excellent job possibilities in the<lb/>
education field.<lb/>
REFUSE JOBS<lb/>
"Most had job offers, hut they refused<lb/>
to move to the job area. It's not like<lb/>
they didn't have an opportunity for a<lb/>
job-they just didn't like what was<lb/>
offered says James<lb/>
The remaining seniors in the 2.000<lb/>
plus class either had jobs awaiting them<lb/>
or just neglected to register with the<lb/>
service.<lb/>
Approximately 500 seniors are<lb/>
registered now. but the number will<lb/>
more than double in the next few-<lb/>
months, according to James.<lb/>
James urges seniors to apply<lb/>
immediately at the Placement Office,<lb/>
located between North Cafeteria and<lb/>
Greene Dormitory, to register for job<lb/>
interviews<lb/>

If Saturday's indoor win<lb/>
over Carolina was an<lb/>
indication of things to<lb/>
come, the Pirate outdoor<lb/>
track team could very well<lb/>
be one of the best in the<lb/>
school's history.<lb/>
In fact, if some breaks<lb/>
go in the direction of<lb/>
coach Bill Carson and his<lb/>
troops, perennial power<lb/>
William and Mary might<lb/>
just have its hands full<lb/>
trying to stay in the<lb/>
picture.<lb/>
This has been the trend<lb/>
of thinking in the Pirate<lb/>
camp since October when<lb/>
Carson was looking out of<lb/>
the fog of a dismal cross<lb/>
country season but toward<lb/>
the possibility of<lb/>
overtaking the Indians in<lb/>
April.<lb/>
If the Pirates are to<lb/>
realize such a high goal,<lb/>
though, the strong field<lb/>
events performers must<lb/>
hope for some support<lb/>
from their teammates in<lb/>
the running events.<lb/>
Carson has long felt that<lb/>
his Pirates are the<lb/>
strongest team in the<lb/>
conference when it comes<lb/>
to the high jump, triple<lb/>

The girls won their fifth<lb/>
straight game Monday<lb/>
night by reeling off to as<lb/>
much as a 29-point lead<lb/>
enroute to a 64-38 win<lb/>
over hapless Atlantic<lb/>
Christian College.<lb/>
ACC's visitors found it<lb/>
impossible to stop the East<lb/>
Carolina running game as<lb/>
EC turned in 11 successful<lb/>
fast breaks. Lorraine<lb/>
Rollins was the high scorer<lb/>
for EC as she scored 11<lb/>
points, including four of<lb/>
her seven field goal<lb/>
attempts.<lb/>
Sophomore Sheilah<lb/>
Gotten, freshman Susan<lb/>
James and senior P. J.<lb/>

and eight points,<lb/>
respectively, to the<lb/>
triumph.<lb/>
In the junior varsity<lb/>
game that evening, East<lb/>
Carolina was victorious,<lb/>
46-32. Freshman Ginny<lb/>
Deese led the scoring for<lb/>
the victors as she hit 12<lb/>
points on six of eight<lb/>
shots.<lb/>
The season opened with<lb/>
a big ECU win over<lb/>
Campbell College, 58-43.<lb/>
ECU's girls hit 45 per<lb/>
cent of their shots and<lb/>
Cotten was the team's top<lb/>
scorer with 18 pomts.<lb/>
James followed in the<lb/>
scoring column with 10.<lb/>
Against State, the girls<lb/>
found it just as easy as<lb/>
they bombed out to a<lb/>
32-20 lead at the half. The<lb/>
final count was 70-51 as<lb/>
East Carolina continued<lb/>
the hot shooting ways.<lb/>
The last game before the<lb/>

Open crr concerf perhaps<lb/>
best idea in many years<lb/>
rhe idea of conducting an outdoor<lb/>
concerl in Ficklen Stadium is probably<lb/>
one of the besl ever proposed by out<lb/>
Popular Entertainment Committee<lb/>
1 �'NMt� the multiple problems the even!<lb/>
could incur, students would<lb/>
undoubtedlj appreciate a concerl free<lb/>
from worrj over cigarette burns, floor<lb/>
damage from foot-stomping, and poor<lb/>
seal ing facilit ies<lb/>
rhe moM pleasing benefit to be<lb/>
derived from an outdoor concert would<lb/>
be the relaxed atmosphere .lust think of<lb/>
it-freedom to move from one place to<lb/>
another without fear of losing a good<lb/>
vantage point<lb/>
Students could actually smoke a<lb/>
cigarette without missing pan of the act,<lb/>
If a person feels thirsty, he could bring a<lb/>
coke to his "seat" without being asked<lb/>
to leave by the ushers When the spirit<lb/>
strikes, instead of suppressing all of the<lb/>
penl up desires to move around and<lb/>
scream a bit. students could do just that.<lb/>
Sometimes the Pop Committee<lb/>
wonders when they spend a lot of the<lb/>
student's money to bring a popular<lb/>
group to either Minges or Wright why<lb/>
neither are ever filled to capacity. One<lb/>
reason is that some students feel it too<lb/>
much nf a hassle to abide by the<lb/>
"hospit hke waiting room<lb/>
atmosphere" of either Minges or Wright<lb/>
Since most groups play several concert<lb/>
dates in the same area, these students<lb/>
feel it is worth the drive to Raleigh or<lb/>
Durham in order to appreciate the<lb/>
music.<lb/>
One certain advantage of holding a<lb/>
concert outdoors would be the listening<lb/>
quality of the music. Admittedly.<lb/>
Ficklen Stadium would not be the ideal<lb/>
spot if you are a fanatic about pure<lb/>
sound quality. But neither is Carnegie<lb/>
Hall, not to mention the galvanized<lb/>
acoustics found in Minges or Wright.<lb/>
Besides, it' you're that much concerned<lb/>
about audio ectasy, you'll go out and<lb/>
buy an expensive stereo system, and<lb/>
listen to your favorite albums in the<lb/>
privacy of our own abode.<lb/>
Unlike rthet universities m the state.<lb/>
ECU has ,i neurosis about giving a<lb/>
concert unless 90 per cent of the<lb/>
ticket holders are full-time students.<lb/>
If by holding a com ert at which<lb/>
outsiders will be supplying a large part of<lb/>
the revenue will allow the Pop<lb/>
Committee to bring a bigger, better<lb/>
group, then they will certainly be aiding<lb/>
the ECU students in the long-run<lb/>
It is hoped that the Administration<lb/>
will concede the fact that students at<lb/>
East Carolina are adults, and will not<lb/>
probably be rushing the fences of<lb/>
Ficklen so they can get inside free and<lb/>
sell "Devil's weed" to unsuspecting<lb/>
freshmen Whether the concert comes<lb/>
about this spring or next year is not the<lb/>
point at hand. A vote of "no" by the<lb/>
Administration would tool future plans<lb/>
for outdoor concerts for years to come.<lb/>
Holding a concert in either Minges or<lb/>
Wright is like going to a fine restaurant,<lb/>
ordering a steak, and going out to the car<lb/>
to eat it. It stil may be a good steak, but<lb/>
for some reason, you just can't enjoy it<lb/>
as well.<lb/>

No cure yet found for common cold<lb/>
THE DOCTOR'S BAG<lb/>
by Arnold Werner, M.D.<lb/>
Each winter a good share of normal,<lb/>
healthy and reasonable people get colds,<lb/>
sore throats and coughs. Many of these<lb/>
people go to unreasonable lengths to<lb/>
combat a basically harmless illness,<lb/>
making it clear that some information<lb/>
about this common condition is needed.<lb/>
In checking out some facts for this<lb/>
article, I visited a drug store to see what<lb/>
"cures" were available. After half an<lb/>
hour in the long aisle marked "Cold<lb/>
Remedies" I had barely covered the<lb/>
products stocked, when I fled the<lb/>
emporium with a case of nausea and<lb/>
headache. The array of stuff included<lb/>
combinations that would do a shaman<lb/>
proud. I was particularly impressed with<lb/>
Nyquil which contained something for<lb/>
everything, all dissolved in 2.Y, alcohol<lb/>
with its own shot glass. That's r.o proof<lb/>
booze, no wonder it helps you sleep!<lb/>
Good bourbon or Scotch whiskey, more<lb/>
than 80 proof, is cheaper and has less<lb/>
potential for harm. Useful preparations<lb/>
are to be found; avoid combination<lb/>
preparations by purchasing the product<lb/>
containing the specific ingredient you<lb/>
need, at the lowest price. Non<lb/>
prescription ingredients are<lb/>
recommended in the following<lb/>
paragraphs.<lb/>
Run-of-the-mill upper respiratory<lb/>
infections (I'RI's or cold8) are produced<lb/>
by viruses and characterized by any or<lb/>
all of the following symptoms: runny<lb/>
nose, stuffed nose, sneezing, mild fever<lb/>
(under 101 Ft. mild sore throat, mild<lb/>
cough, hoarseness, and malaise (feeling<lb/>
lousy). The ailment is basically self<lb/>
limited and visiting a physician for a UR1<lb/>
is generally a waste of time, except in<lb/>
certain circumstances to be elaborated<lb/>
"Flu" (influenza) is a viral respiratory<lb/>
illness producing some of the above<lb/>
symptoms plus generalized symptom<lb/>
which can include nausea, vomiting, high<lb/>
fever, and muscle aches. Flu symptoms<lb/>
are generally more severe, but the illness<lb/>
is also self limited in the healthy adult.<lb/>
Since recovery is spontaneous in both,<lb/>
the goal of treatment is to keep<lb/>
comfortable.<lb/>

Aarmed over drug addiction.<lb/>
Army creates own narc squad<lb/>
Ira I Maker, dvisoi<lb/>
By JACK ANDERSON<lb/>
The Army, alarmed over the sudden<lb/>
rise in drug addiction among troops in<lb/>
Europe, has adopted stringent measures<lb/>
to catch drug users and pushers.<lb/>
But the new measures, in turn, have<lb/>
alarmed civil rights lawyers who fear<lb/>
many innocent soldiers may be caught in<lb/>
the antidrug dragnet.<lb/>
We have uncovered one document, for<lb/>
instance, which was issued last month by-<lb/>
Gen. Anthony Daskevich in Stuttgart.<lb/>
Germany. He recommended that<lb/>
commanders develop informers and<lb/>
reward them for information. The<lb/>
general also suggested volunteer<lb/>
undercover patrols to be established to<lb/>
follow up on thy informers' tips.<lb/>
"Cars entering the post will be<lb/>
checked and searched at<lb/>
rand om . Volunteers will search<lb/>
buildingsstem to stern The general<lb/>
urged his unit commanders to conduct<lb/>
frequent shakedown inspections and to<lb/>
bust pushers and users to the lowest rank<lb/>
as soon as evidence is available.<lb/>
To handle known drug users, the<lb/>
general recommended the removal of the<lb/>
suspect's pass privileges, his driver's<lb/>
license, his civilian clothes, even the key<lb/>
to his room. If the suspect is married,<lb/>
wrote Daskevich, "he should be required<lb/>
to move into the barracks where he can<lb/>
be watched<lb/>
Such measures, the general insists,<lb/>
pose no threat to innocent soldiers. But<lb/>
civil liberties lawyers charge that<lb/>
innocent soldiers have already been hurt<lb/>
by some of the extreme methods used to<lb/>
catch the guilty.<lb/>
DOUBLE DIPPERS<lb/>
For years, we have criticized retired<lb/>
officers for double dipping from the<lb/>
federal treasury. The practice began<lb/>
nearly a decade ago when Congress<lb/>
passed the Dual Compensation Act.<lb/>
Thanks to this law, more than 78,000<lb/>
retired military personnel today collect<lb/>
part of their pension and draw civil<lb/>
service pay at the same time<lb/>
Double dipping has helped create a<lb/>
military spoils system, which encourages<lb/>
rigged recruitment, preferential<lb/>
treatment, unfair hiring and promotional<lb/>
practices.<lb/>
Retired militarymen frequently alert<lb/>
friends about to retire of job openings in<lb/>
the federal government. In some cases,<lb/>
jobs have been held open for months<lb/>
awaiting the retirement of ranking<lb/>
military officers. In other instances, new<lb/>
jobs have been treated solely to fit the<lb/>
needs of retiring officers.<lb/>
ANDERSON<lb/>
But among the worst abusers of the<lb/>
law are some 70 flag officers now<lb/>
working in the civilian government.<lb/>
Some of them collect more than<lb/>
$50,000 a year from their combined<lb/>
military retirement and civilian pay.<lb/>
The juiciest double-dipping deal we<lb/>
have come across involves retired<lb/>
four-star Air Force (Jen Jacob Smart.<lb/>
who is now an administrator at the<lb/>
National Aeronautics and Space<lb/>
Administration. He collects around<lb/>
$58,000 a year, including more than<lb/>
$22,000 in retirement benefits.<lb/>
Other double-dippers include Lt.<lb/>
General Alfred Starbird. now a civilian at<lb/>
the Pentagon, Lt. Gen. Ben Davis, now<lb/>
at Transportation and Brig. Gen. Frank<lb/>
Elliot at Agriculture.<lb/>
One general is so overpaid, he<lb/>
voluntarily has cut his own salary by<lb/>
$14,000 a year. He is Gen. Jackson<lb/>
Graham, now chief of the Washington<lb/>
area Metro Authority, who accepts less<lb/>
than $.38,000 of his authorized $52,000<lb/>
salary. With $17,000 a year in retirement<lb/>
benefits, Graham would become the<lb/>
most lucrative double-dipper in the<lb/>
country if he accepted his full salary.<lb/>
Graham tells us that's a distinction he<lb/>
can do without.<lb/>
