ECU CHANCELLOR LEO JENKINS discusses "new approaches" to traditional
college ways.
SGA promises are

"considerable reshaping of our curriculum and staff development.
Among other things he predicted that more students "will move at their own speed
rathehan according to a university calendar" and that "commencement will be a thing
of the past probably within a decade He called on the faculty to avoid assuming that
any change represents progress on the one hand and "that any change ,s a towering of

"Inflation in general and the rising costs of higher education in particular Jenkins
noted, "are playing havoc with the ability of the average American fam.ly to finance a

"We must be ever alert to the possibility that some would have us abandon the
historic American principle of low tuition at public universities. Jenkins said.
Jenkins said that the effect of an increase in out of state student tuition at ECU from
1051 ? 1970-71 to $1,800 in 1972-73 was a decrease of 37 per cent in out-o state
Vnpicant from 1.758 in 1970 71 to 1.108 in 1973-74. And he said there will be a

SGA President Bill Bodenhamer
announced recently that within the
next two weeks 70 per cent of the
campaign promises he made last
year will be completed.
Among these promises are an
inter campus bus system, the
establishment of ECU'S first coed
dormitory, a copying machine in the
Student Union for student use and
an SGA compiled list of off campus
housing available in Greenville.
Bodenhamer said the SGA has
already purchased one 51 seat Ford
bus for on campus transportation.
Another bus has been ordered and
is due to arrive after Jan. 1. The
cost of the buses is a total of
$18,000.
A bus service was available to
students last year, Bodenhamer
noted, but only intermittently then
discontinued. The bus last year cost
the SGA $150 a day to rent. "To cut
the operating cost even more
Bodenhamer continued, "this year
we've made arrangements to buy
our gas through the state so it will
be at a much lower price than
before
"After this year's bus purchase,
Bodenhamer went on. "next year
this campus transit system will save
the students $40,000 a year over
any system for campus trans
port at ion
Bodenhamer said the SGA has
also purchased a new Zerox 2400
copying machine. The copier is now
located in the Student Union for
student use. It is there on a self
supporting basis. Bodenhamer
pointed out that the SGA is
responsible for the copier and not
the Student Union.
Distribution of student activity
cards will be in the hands of the
ECU Cashier's office beginning next
year Bodenhamer further revealed.
Students will get their activity
cards attached to their tuition
receipts.
In the past issuance of the cards
has been the SGA's job. "This will
work out to the students' advantage
next year said Bodenhamer. It
used to be that if a student
registered late, he would have to
pay a $2 late fee in order to pick up
his activity card. With this system
he'll just pick it up just like he
normally would if he was
registering on time
Bodenhamer said the SGA has
just completed compilation this
summer of a list of off-campus
housing available to students. The
booklet list includes names and
addresses of the landlords renting,
what type of housing, housing rules
and their location. At the present
time 5,000 copies of the list are
being prepared for distribution to
students.
Among bills Bodenhamer plans
to propose to the SGA legislature
are: a bill to either buy or rent 6-10
typewriters for any student to use,
a lawyer to be hired by the SGA to
give students free legal advice, a
beer tavern on campus and to install
a telephone line in the student union
which students could use to ca'l
anywhere in the U.S.
Bodenhamer said that "a young
lawyer could be hired to give
student advice, say 16 hours a
month, or four hours a week. This
would be free legal advice to the
student paid for by the SGA. It
would save the student a
consultation fee. If the student
needs a lawyer other than for
advice, he can hire him on his own
Bodenhamer concluded by
saying that. "I want the students to
know that this administration is
open to the students and their
problems this year. We want to
establish free and open relations
with everyone on campus. My
office hours are from 2-6:00 p.m.
every day and I welcome students
to come up if they have problems,
complaints or suggestions con
cerning the SGA

Jovner Library converts to open stacks
may do so by gointf to a specially marked i
By DARRELL WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
Joyner Library opens its doors this
fall with
mnB such as open stacks, more active hours and a
paperback exchange program in an effort to make the
facility more accomodating and educational to its
US?Comlpaints from students and faculty about the
closed stack system led D.r. Ralph E. Russell, director
of library services, and Mrs. Dorothy Brockman,
circulation librarian, to convert Joyner Library to
open stacks after the situation was reviewed in July.
Open stacks means that the library user isi free to
SO to the bookshelves and select books which he
needs, rather than leaving a request slip at the book
circulation desk. This system will eliminate the great
volume of request slips that was required with closed
st 1CKS
"Joyner Library was built and designed in the
1950's when the closed stack system was thought to be
best " says Russell, "because of this its interior
arrangement is not ideal for a large volume of traffic in
and out of the stacks. The ceilings are very low and
the shelves are spaced closely together. This situation
requires cooperation by library users in the following
manners:
1. After one has browsed and located material which
must be examined extensively or from which one
wishes to take notes, the material should be taken to a
reading room to be used. There is no table space and
very little desk space is available in the stacks.
2 For visiting and socializing, please use the lobby
areas or halls of the library. The stacks are too
crowded to permit such activity.
3. There is an exit checker who will examine all books

as one leaves the library. In the event you have
forgotten to properly charge out a book, the checker
will ask you to return to the circulation desk to do
so Please cooperate by showing all books, opening
briefcases, shopping bags and other containers for the
checker to examine.
"Our goal according to Russell, "is to provide
maximum access to library materials. If it is stolen or
inadvertantly taken from the building, it is
inaccessible
A paperbook exchange program has been started
at Joyner Library in which a person desiring to
exchange one of his own paperback books for another
may do so by going to a specially marked rack in the
periodical room of the library. The only rule is that
the person should replace the book he takes with one
of his own. There are no cards or forms to fill out.
New signs explaining directions to the stacks are
found in the library along with a new statement of
library hours which Russell says are more active. He
says that if these hours are not what library users
need there will be changes. Joyner Library will be
opened 92 hours a week on the following schedule:
Mon.Thurs. 8:00a.m. 11:45 p.m.

Patrick T. Dougherty, fired by
the University of Missouri in 1970
after lying in the path of the UM
marching band, is professionally
back on his feet again, the National
Education Association reports.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals, St. Louis, has ordered
back pay for the UM visiting
political science professor and
clearance of his record. He has
protested university participation in
a St. Ijouis parade sponsored by a
racially segregated group.
Dougherty first objected by
letter to UM participation in the
march sponsored by the Order of
the Veiled Prophet, a group of about
1,000 white men. He was then
arrested when he took the further
step of lying in front of the UM band
during the parade,
in St. Louis before moving recently
to Columbia, Mo had been
studying the private secret order
and its effects upon the black
community since 1966.
Dougherty was suspended
without notice or adequate hearing,
he asserted in the court
brief. Hearings later were held by
the Political Science Department,
the Academic Tenure Committee
and the hearing committee of the
university's Board of Curators, all of
which recommended that fie not be
dismissed.
that is part of the whole community,
interacting with it at every point in
social, economic and political affairs,
in the church, in the fine arts, at
every point where society
functions an atmosphere in which
people feel sufficiently free to think
and act creatively an atmosphere
in which the faculty and staff can
grow professionally.
"Operating as we do in a society
exploding with human problems and
social responsibilities, how can we
as an institution that would bring
light and learning, skill and
knowledge in a wide area of our
state, fail to tackle any mission that
deals with the life and welfare of
people whom we should be serving?

School of letters
provides options
(I.P.) Institutions of higher education today are being called upon by
students to provide a wider range of options in their curricula. One
recent innocation at the University of Iowa designed to meet this
growing demand is an interdepartmental major in letters offered by the
University's School of Letters.
"The program is open to undergraduates starting in their sophomore
year explains Alan Nagel, associate professor of English and
comparative literature who also is serving as chairman of the major in
letters program. "There is a 36 semester hour version of the major
which has no foreign language requirement beyond the general
University requirement Nael continues.
"All literature is read in translation and the student is expected to
work in three different literatures. There also is a 30 semester hour
version of the major, with the student again working in three different
literatures. This version requires a minimium of six semester hours of
literature read in a foreign language.
"Further study in language is encouraged, and with the new
offerings of intensive language courses by several departments, and
undergraduate can more quickly learn and begin reading a second
foreign language. In both versions, courses should show some historical
distribution so the student isn't concentrated in a single period, such as
literature since 1850
In addition, majors in letters must take 12 semester hours of
supplemental courses related to their individual programs. These
supplemental courses could be in education, history or linguistics, for
example, or could be distributed among "whatever fields are most to the
point for a student's own plans and interests.
International studies such as the major in letters require a certain
range of interest that wouldn't necessarily be part of an English major's
program says Nagel, in explaining the rationale for the supplemental
course work. "The student and the adviser together arrange the
supplemental courses to make each undergraduate's program more
coherent
D.C. News Briefs
WASHINGTON The most,
critical problem awaiting Henry
Kissinger when he moves over to
the State Department is oil
diplomacy. Middle Last experts are
prepared to warn that the United
States can no longer continue its
all out support for Israel and expect,
the Arab nations to keep up the flow
of oil across the Atlantic.
Already, the Arab nations are
being stirred up to use oil as a
political weapon and to retaliate
against the United States by cutting
down oil Shipments. The campaign,
according to our intelligence
reports, is gaining favor through
out the Arab world.
The State Department experts
will point out that the United States
is dependent upon Arab oil for the
next few years. They will urge
Kissinger, therefore, to change
U.S. Middle East policy and adopt a
more pro-Arab attitude. The
United States could bolster its
position with the Arabs, they will
suggest, by using its influence with
Israel to settle the Middle East
crisis on terms the Arabs can
accept.
If the United States doesn't
change its middle East Policy, the
experts will warn, the Arab nations
almost certainly will start shutting
off oil. This would leave the United
States critically short and would
force Washington to take desperate
action.
The only alternative to diplo-
matic action, they will suggest,
would be military action. Either the
United States must become more
pro Arab, they will say. or must
take over the Arab oil fields by
military force.
WANTED A WINNER:
Democratic leaders are frus-
trated over their inability to find a
presidential prospect who can
capitalize on the Watergate
issue. President Nixon's popularity
has plunged to 30 per cent, an
all time low. Yet in all the polls,
two Republican senators. Charles
Percy and Howard Baker, are
running ahead of anyone the

political coalition that the late
Franklin Roosevelt put together of
liberals, blue collar workers and
Southern populists.
Hut it took a charismatic
personality like Roosevelt's to rally
voters from a wide ideological
spectrum behind the Democratic,
banner. Some party leaders believe
their front runner. Sen. Ted
Kennedy, has the magic spark. But
the polls show young people and
women, who are enthusiastic
followers of the senator's two
martyred brothers, prefer Charles
Percy over Ted Kennedy.
Hawaii's Sen. Dan Inouye is
causing some excitement among
Democratic voters. But perhaps
because of his Japanese ancestry,
he is mentioned only as a vice
presidential prospect. What the
Democrats are looking for is
another Franklin D. Roosevelt or
John F. Kennedv. But there is no
one like that in sight
FAIR GAMES: The nation's-
No. 1 sports fan, Richard Nixon,
would like to give Russia more
competition in athletics. He is
chagrined over the way Russia
throws its top athletics against
America's amateurs and then makes
political capital out of the results.
For example. Russia trains and
subsidizes its Olympic athletics but
still calls them amateurs. President
Nixon feels that, rightfully, they
should compete against America's
professionals. Instead, Russia's
best athletes meet only the
amateurs who are really America's
second-string athletes.
For 10 days during August,
Moscow was host to the World
University Games. The United
States sent some of its best college
athletes. But they found them-
selves up against Russia's Olympic
stars. As a result, Russia won over
half of the gold medals. The United
States managed to win gold medals
only in swimming and basketball.
The President has told friends
he would like to see some
competition between the best
athletes from both nations. This
would be the only fair way, he said,
to determine which country is really
best at world sports.
For the Kremlin, athletics is an
extension of politics and victories
are used to proclaim Soviet
superiority. The President would
like to find a way to make the
contests more fair.
HEADLINES AND FOOT-
NOTES: Every President since
Franklin D. Roosevelt has tried to
trim the federal bureaucracy. How
is Richard Nixon making out? One
incident tells the story. At budget
time this year, the President
i
announced he was phasing out
federal grants and loans for building
and modernizing hospitals. Never
theless, the men and women who
administer the program have just
spent two days planning how to
build and modernize more hospitals.

We invited a few friends for dinner
and they helped clean up the Genesee River.
With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorga-
nisms, we're helping to solve the water pollution problem in
Rochester. Mayle the solution can help others.
What we did was to combine two processes in a way
that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying sys-
tems private industry has ever developed.
One process is called "activated sludge developed
by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption.
What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can
produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will
happily assimilate it. And thrive on it.
The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found
a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling
filter process and optimized the combination.
We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years.
Kodak
(At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement
long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked
so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify
36-million gallons of water a day.
C.overnor Rockefeller called this "the biggest volun-
tary project undertaken by private industry in support of
New York State's pure-water program
Why did we do it? Partly lxcause we're in business to
make a profit and clean water is vital to our business. But in
furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's.
And our business depends on society.
We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will
inspire" others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share
our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean
water. So we all have to work together.

This is an editorial about editorials. Kountainhead does not hope or
plan to create political tragedies for discussion in each issue. Our
editorials may or may not deal with current or political events, although
we plan to present acerbic, serious or simply intelligent discussion of
topics of student interest.
We are not bound to the political or the pompous or the newsy. We
have seen too many editors at a loss for something respectably 'current'
to write of grab the first news story in sight (however obscure) and
turn it into a burning, boring editorial issue. All this because someone
fostered the myth that an editorial must be either dull or complaining.
We'll complain when complaint is deserved, and we plan to be
nothing if not intelligent.
But despite SGA crises and campus tragedies and Greenville chaos,
there is a very real, peculiar and outrageous world we plan to treat in
our editorials on occasion. It may have nothing to do with Math 65,
Pass Fail, Richard Nixon or the Executive Council, but we're obliged to
write about it, to put life in perspective.
And as for our readers: our pages are open to you. We welcome
letters to the Forum, guest editorials or just the stopping-by kind of visit
that let s us know what's going on. If you have written material you'd
like to put in have it to us by 2:00 p.m. Mondays or Wednesdays. See
the Forum policy for further notes. We're located in Wright Auditorium

Democrats had spies: Anderson
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON The
Watergate investigation has
exposed President Nixon's political
espionage during the 1972
campaign. But lost in the headlines
is the fact that the Democratic
candidates had their political spies,
too.
During the presidential pri
maries, the Democrats spied on one
another. Senator Ed Muskie's staff,
for example, prepared detailed
smear sheets on his Democratic
rivals. Muskie acknowledged this
to us, but called their work
"negative research
Senator Hubert Humphrey's
political intelligence was poor. The
AFL (TO, however, planted agents
in the George McGovern camp and
shared their reports with
Humphrey.
McGovern had the best
intelligence operation. His
lieutenants have boasted that they
had spies who told them everything
Humphrey was doing. They also
claimed that they had managed to
sneak an undercover man inside
President Nixon's campaign head
quarters.

employes, including a man at the

McGovern information.
The Democrats may have been
less professional, and perhaps less
grim, than President Nixon in
playing the game in political
espionage. But they had their
political spies.
Scoop's Their Man: The Demo
cratic party's old professionals, who
were pushed aside by Sen. George
McGovern in 1972, are quietly
maneuvering to regain control of
the party in 1976. As their
candidate, they are already lining
up behind Sen. Henry ("Scoop")
Jackson, D Wash.
In Fact, they began planning for
1976 before the smoke had cleared
from the 1972 convention. They
held secret strategy meetings in
Miami Beach before they went home
from the convention.
They agreed informally that
Jackson should be the figure they
would rally around. This Jackson
Plan, as this strategy was called,
was pushed by steel workers boss
I.W. Abel. AFL CIO President
George Meany also agreed that
Jackson was the best man in sight
for 1976.
Jackson agreed to begin picking
up the pieces for both the 1974 and
1976 elections. George Wallace's
brother, Gerald, joined in the secret
discussions. But the Wallace forces
refused to supoort Jackson. They
are strictly for Wallace .
The old curmudgeon George
Meany, meanwhile, yearns to
return to the old ways of choosing
candidates in smoke filled rooms.
When he was asked about the 1972
convention, he took a deep puff on
his cigar and grumped: "Too many
skirts and no cigars
Oily Warning: Saudi Arabia has
warned American Oil company
officials, according to news reports,
that it will cut back its daily oil
production a million barrels unless
the United States changes its
Middle East policy. This would
leave the Wes critically short of oil
this winter.
The Central Intelligence
Agency, however, has reported that
Saudi Arabia is bluffing. Intelli-
gence reports from the Middle East
claim that Saudi Arabia has secretly
decided NOT to reduce its oil
production at all.
The Saudis have sought to
appease the Arab militants who
want to use oil as a political weapon,
by offering to use oil income instead
of finance a massive Arab arms
build up.
The Saudis have warned,
according to the intelligence
reports, that the United States
could retaliate against the oil
cutback by reducing its food
shipments to hungry Arab
countries.
The Saudis have argued,
therefore, that an oil cutback would
wind up hurting the Arab cause. By
keeping the oil flowing, they have
urged, they can raise the millions
needed to buy guns and grain. The
Egyptians, for example, are in
desparate need. The intelligence
reports claim Saudi Arabia has
offered to subsidize both Egyptian
military and wh purchases.
Of course, the tough bargaining
over oil isn't ended. But it looks less
likely that the Saudis are going to
withhole vital oil.
White House Wheat Watch: The
White House is watching the crop
reports with an anxious eye. The
world wheat shortage is beginning
to look more critical. The Soviets
planted a record crop and turned
soldiers, students and factory
workers into the field to help bring
;n the harvest. But millions of acres
in European Russia were suddenly
flooded by rains. Some of the crop
has been washed out. Some has
been harvested, but it is wet grain
subject to rot.

Discontent and speculation follow Watergate
By T. COFFIN
From WASHINGTON WATCH
Congress comes back in a new
mood of belligerence, a reflection of
the grass roots. A friend reports to
us on a staunchly Republican,
well-to do farming country of
southern Wisconsin: "The people
feel betrayed. They think Nixon
made a fool of them
"Not one of the five hundred odd
people I saw defended him, and only
one said, well, everyone does
it. Nixon's failure to produce the
tapes was the last straw. One of the
most respected leaders, who six
weeks ago was saying, let's give
Nixon a chance to clear himself, now
asks, 'Don't you think he might have
to go?"
Across the country, the number
one complaint against the Admin-
istration is food prices. Betty
Garrett writes in Columbus, Ohio,
"It is around the meat and egg
counter that the Bastille mumblings
of discontent are growing daily
(August 8) After the lid was lifted,
the price of meal rose sixty eight
per cent in one day, noted the
"Post" (July 26). This is more
troublesome because of charges by
the General Accounting Office that
grain sales to Russia "are in large
part responsible for the steep
upward drive of American food
prices
An editorial in the "Christian
Science Monitor" (July 11) noted:
"When a country diverts a quarter
of its grain crop to a single new
source, the result will be a greater
demand for remaining supplies and
higher prices for meat and other
products that depent on grain. The
diversion of transportation
resources of the Soviet similarly
adds still higher cost pressure in
the domestic food industry The
editorial suggests this is the price
Nixon paid for Soviet pressure on
Hanoi. Jack Anderson (July
27) says the Russians helped finance
the deal "by manipulating the US
commodity market Some insiders
ruefully refer to the Soviet grain
deal as the Great Grain Robbery
forum
Perhaps a comment on social life
at ECU is in order after a week of
being here. Lend me your ears,
especially you freshmen chicks.
At the beginning of each quarter
there is a campaign known as
rush. Its purpose is to recruit
members for sororities and
fraternities. The tactics of rush are
basically the same, i.e. free beer,
free dates, free hot dogs, etc. I will
concern myself with the "free" hot
dogs offered by the Panhellenie
Office on the mall last Monday.
I was dating a freshman girl at
the time when she suggested that I
escort her to the "free" hot
dogs. She was especially interested
in my ideas about her choice of
soroity to pledge. We cautiously
approached the gathering, only to
be greeted by smiles and
beckonings of welcome.
AFTER WATERGATE, REFORM
"In any other free society on this
earth, President Nixon would have
been out long ago. Under a
parliamentary system the
corruption and moral sleaziness that
have been crowding the front pages
would have forced a vote of no
confidence and the government's
resignation Herbert Brucker,
editor emeritus, Hartford Courant.
This points to the weakness of
the American political system.
There is no simple mechanism to
question the Presidant or force him
to obey the laws. President Nixon
claims whenever the President,
individually, die des the national
security is at stake he may order
acts that violate the Constitution
and the laws. This "theorem" was
given the Watergate committee by
lawyer John J. Wilson, who had
discussed it at length with Nixon,
and by his client, John D.
Erlichman.
THE INTENT OF THE CON-
STITUTION The authors of the
Constitution were aware of the need
to put limits on the President.
Alexander Hamilton, an advocate of
strong Presidential power, nonethe-
less wrote in "The Federalist
Papers "The history of human
conduct does not warrant that
exalted opinion of human virtue
which would make it wise in a nation
to commit interests of so delicate
and momentous a kind, as those
which concern its intercourse with
the rest of the world, to the sole
disposal of a magistrate created and
circumstanced as would be a
President of the US John Jay
wanted, "Absolute monarchs will
often make war when their nations
are to get nothing by it, but for
purposes and objects merely
personal
THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL The
root lies in the modern political
campaign. An awesome amount of
money is needed to run for Federal
office. Nixon's re-election campaign
spent in the neighborhood of $40
million. A Senator may need $5-10
million, a Representative $500,000.
This kind of money is not lying
around loose. It must be black
jacked one way or another.
Nixon discovered there is one
place where millions are for the
asking. This is selling decisions of
the Government. Take the auto
industry. The Environmental
Protection Agency ordered it to put
anti pollutant devices on cars. The
industry claimed the cost would be
prohibitive. A White House bag
man went to the auto makers.
Henry Ford II admitted giving
$50,000 h aid-March 1972, split up
in $3,000 k is to avoid gift taxes, by
a special ruling made by Internal
Revenue at the prodding of the
White House.
The EPA postponed its deadline
for the devices. Or, take companies
in trouble with the Security and
Exchange Commission. Robert
Vesco gave $200,000 in $100 bills to
the re-election campaign, and the
Attorney General allegedly inter-
ceded with SEC.
BUYING OFF CONGRESS - The
President can award lucrative
Government contracts to the home
areas or friends of Congressmen.
President Johnson put the $3
million C 5A contract in Mietta,
Ga to keep the late Senator
Richard Russell (D-Ga.), facing a
tough primary, from fighting his
Vietnam policy. The Nixon White
House arranged for a Federal office
building contract to go to friends of
the President's most effective ally
on Capitol Hill, Senate Minority
Leader High Scott.
The Times reported (February
18): "The building symbolized
the ability of a small circle of friends
and associates of Senator Scott to
win for a real estate developer a
Federal contract worth up to $78
million even though the bid was
higher than the others and did
not meet legal requirements
The developer, a major Scott
backer, won with a bid of $18 million
higher than the low bid.
The bid was negotiated by a
Unfortunately our welcome
quickly wore hut when I attempted
to get a "free" hot dog. I was
sharply informed that I was a male
(indeed an enlightening discovery)
and that I was not welcome at
all. Not being the type to give up
easily, I hasseled them back
(remember my date standing next
to me sisters). With the occurrence
of this disruption our Panhellenie
bouncer, Pamela Hold, waddled
over, and in an intimidating display
of her feminine mass she quietly
shook her head negatively.
My weak and insecure ego has
been battered beyong repair, not to
mention that my date is very pissed
at sororities in general.
But the real losers in this conflict
are the sororities themselves. They
are one prospective member closer
to the bankruptcy that I hope to see
in the near future.

CONGRESSIONAL WEAK
NESSES If the President violates
the law by going to war,
withholding funds or putting
citizens in concentration camps,
Congress can't even talk to
him. There is no mechanism. It has
no effective way to reach the public
in such a crisis, while the President
can take time on all TV networks at
a moment's notice. It has no way to
stop him, except by the tortuously
slow process of the courts. We
make these recommendations:
Congress elect a 5 member
Legislative Council, which the
President would be required to see
once a week and answer its
questions. He would have to
consult with the Council on major
decisions in areas specifically
allotted to Congress in the
Constitution, as war-making, taxes,
appropriations.
"THE NATION THAT LOOKED
THE OTHER WAY" This is how a
foreign observer, Peter Jenkins of
the Guardian, describes America.
Forty-three per cent of eligible
voters in 1972 failed to case a vote
for President. Most Americans
accepted the fragmentations
bombing, burning and defoliation of
Indochina, the cover up of the Kent
State murders, the sterilization of
poor black girls in the South.
Senator George McGovern,
quoted in the Christian Century,
says: "It is good news that our
political system is demonstrating a
capacity to identify and correct its
own evil" and that "Congress has
been challenged by the Watergate
revelations to insist on its rightful
check on the executive

Keller plan: liberalized learning
An overriding problem of colleges and universities
today is how to achieve more efficient ana more
effective learning.
The Sloan Foundation's broad interests are in
science and technology, higher education,
management and related problems of society.
Expanded research and development in the
teaching method known as the Keller Plan, or
Personalized System of Instructing (PSI) have
received a massive boost with the approval of a
$340,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation of
New York.
Under the Personalized System of Instruction,
whose development was begun in 1962 by psychologist
Fred S. Keller while at Columbus University, the
student is given a course guide divided into a series of
small units. He has access to references and various
training aids, as appropriate. He is not required to j
attend lectures; he studies where and when he wishes,
at his own pace commensurate with his abilities and
with other demands on his time.
Stude.it proctors keep scheduled hours at study
halls where the student can go for study, group work
and tutorial assistance. Study units must be taken in
sequence. When the student thinks he understands
the material in a unit, he takes an examination, and a
proctor grades it on the spot, giving immediate
results.
Each unit test must be passed with 100 per
cent. No penalty is given if one falls below 100 per
cent, but the student is told to study some more and to
take another test. If the student masters all the
course units within the semester, he receives a grade
of A.
UT Austin's College of Engineering was the first in
the nation to apply the PSI method to engineering
subjects in the fall of 1969. Since then, it has
pioneered further development of the method.
Wrestling
receives
scholarship
A$1)00 annual varsity wrestling
scholarship has been established at
ECU by alumnus Michael I Hunting,
vice president of Carolina Casket and
Rubber Co Inc. of Greensboro.
I rider the terms of the scholarship,
the annual award will be made to an
entering or already enrolled ECU
student who has been accepted by the
varsity wrestling team. The scholar
ship will be applicable toward expenses
for one year, or three quarters.
All recipients will be selected by
the ECC Scholarships, Fellowships and
Financial Aid Committee from
candidates suggested by the coach of
the ECC Varsity Wrestling Team with
the approval of the Director of
Athletics.
ECU Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins
commented that Bunting is "one of our
most loyal and dedicated alumni
"We are deeply appreciative for
this outstanding expression of his
interest in the progress of his alma
mater he added.
"PSI holds bright promise for many courses in
engineering and science says Dr. James E. Slice,
director of the Bureau of Engineering Teaching. "It is
not a cure for all educational problems, but in highly
structured subjects it has been very successful
A major difficulty is that designing a PSI course
takes considerably more faculty time than teaching a
lecture course. Once established, however, PSI
faculty time requirements are reduced.
Under the PSI development program, extensive
records will be kept on all courses. Feed in from
students, proctors and teachers will be used for
evaluation of the results and effectiveness of PSI, as
measured against control classes in the same subject
under conventional teaching methods.
Courses range from freshman to graduate
level. The freshman courses are particularly
important, because they involve some students with
mathematical disadvantages and other deficiencies in
prerequisite and core course requirement subjects.
Another important coverage will be the needs of
community colleges. With greater numbers attending
them, those colleges must prepare future transfer
students with prerequisite and core courses which
some have not been offering.
On the University of Texas Austin campus, 15
different PSI courses have been offered 36 times
.through last year, while two PSI engineering courses
prepared at UT Austin are being offered at the Air
Force Academy, University of California at San
Diego, Lamar University (Texas), Ohio University.
North Texas State University, and University of
Western Ontario (Canada).

'Paper Moon' believable and enjoyable
Combine a little cheating,
stealing, lying and conning with a
touch of sweetness oozing with
nostalgia and the result is a
smashing motion picture comedy
"Paper Moon
The heart warming story is sei
in the Kansas rural area in the early
1930's. Ryan O'Neal and his
daughter, Tatum, blend together
beautifully giving the film a great
quality of believability.
Ryan O'Neal portrays a crafty
salesman, Moses Pray, who, quite
ironically, sells Bibles, quick
changes to the tune of some 8
hundred dollars, and sells a
bootlegger his own whiskey. He
plays his part well, leaving the
viewer hoping that the "bad guy"
will win out.
Young Tatum, tugging hard at
the heartstrings in her first film, is
outstanding as Addie Loggins,
orphaned by the death of her not so
respectable mother.
The two team up as Pray is
convinced that he should take Addie
to St. Joseph, Mo. to the home of
her only living relative. There is
applicable reason to doubt the truth
of that assumption since the
resemblance of Pray and Addie is
astounding.
The two begin their journey
with a touch of blackmail and

Albert Pertalron, director of the

depending on how the play is done,
and we want to do it up to the hilt.
A tradition oating from the early
years of the eighteenth century
states that "The Merry Wives of
Windsor" was written by the
special command of Queen
Elizabeth. Such a raucous comedy,
with Ealstaff trying to seduce two
women at the same time, would
have appealed to the bawdy
Elizabeth.

continue their devilish ways until
the inevitable occurs.
The adventures of the two and
the characters they meet are
realistic and fascinating. Addie
proves that it is amazing what a
sweet face of a seemingly innocent
nine year old can accomplish as she
cheats the biggest cheaters while
puffing non chalently on her
cigarette.
"Paper Moon" is filmed in black
and white, giving it an "old timey"
quality. Keeping in tune with the
times, background music sings the
tunes of the Jimmy Dorsey era,
almost becoming a bit over-
whelming at points. The overall
effect is quite favorable, however,
leaving the viewer quite content
with the characters and their future
plights.
This is a film to sit back and
enjoy without having to constantly
drain the brain for answers. It's the
type of movie Mom and Dad can
"remember when" while the
children learn more ways to "win
friends and influence people
America stays earthy
EDITOR'S NOTE America appeared last month in the Greensboro War
Memorial Auditorium. Honeycutt, staff writer for the Greensboro Daily
News, interviewed the group prior to the concert.
By DARWIN HONEYCT TT
America has been together as a group since 1970. They've been
friends for longer than that. Their sense of camaraderie is impressive in
its sincerity. And the boys seem pleased and yet not infatuated with
their success which has come so quickly.
Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley appear unimpressed by
their phenomenal popularity. There is none of the emotional hysteria
one might expect with a successful group so young and so
well known. "Every group puts out a single and they think that will be
the one to make a hit says Gerry Beckley, "most don't, but ours just
did
Indeed, their first hit single, "Horse With No Name launched the
trio to a quick fame. Until that time, America was playing the pubs of
England, the country in which they just happened to be living when the
grou'p was formed. Evidently the stint of pub dates paid off. for the
group now claims a formidable audience of intense fans.
"We've had confidence in our songs from the beginning says Dewey
Bunnell. "Of course, there is material we won't do, but together we
work the lyrics and music out till it becomes what we want them to
be. The music does not come before the lyrics, they evolve together. On
this new album is the first instance of a song which all three
authored. This is something new for the group. In the past the boys
have individually brought songs to the group to be listened to and
worked on by the other two.
"Hat Trick America's third album (to be released this month) was
recorded before the trio left on the tour which brought them to
Greensboro. Dan Peek reported that it will not be a radical departure
from their past two albums, but will contain more percussion. Asked if
they are satisfied with the quality of their music, the group replied they
were. "We are just now getting to the point where we feel our music is a
quality product
Critics have not been as kind to America as have the fans. They are
quick to point out the similarity of their sound to that of Neil Young and
the trio of Crosby, Stills and Nash. Indeed, what success has come their
way has not happened by way of critical acclaim; rather, it has come
through the buying power of the record buying public.
Addressing himself to the critics, Dan Peek replied, "We're babies of
the 60's, and as such we cannot help but be influenced by the creative
forces of that decade Here, all three intoned their answer to my
criticism, but they all said the same thing. America is a product of the
60's. Erom the beginning, they patterned their music after what they
considered to be the best music of the time. The group mentioned some
of those influences, among them the Beach Boys. "We record the same
locale of California as do the Beach Boys and we were in on the recording
session of the "Holland" album which was recorded in Amsterdam
Perhaps the most striking thing about America is their disarmingly
unassuming manner. Somehow they can't find the vanity to show
conceit over their success. Even though their music has met with
acceptance, the group seemed uneasy before the public with an
inordinate amount of time wasted between numbers.
The boys are still very young (the o'dest is 22). If they wish to
become better showmen this uneasiness will have to be overcome. And
just maybe America can be the creative force for a new genesis of
musicians. At any rate, there's plenty of time to work at it.

State's Wolf pack
blasts Pirates
By DAVE ENGLERT
The East Carolina football team
suffered a stunning and humiliating
defeat at the jaws of the N.C. State
Wolfpack Saturday night by the
score of 57-8. It was the season
opener for both squads and had to
leave the Pirates wondering why
State was only ranked seventeenth
in the nation.
The ball seemed to bounce right
for .State all night. The Pirates
survived Carlester Crumpler's first
fumble, but two plays after his
second one the score was 7-0 State
on a seven yard run by Stan Fritts.
In the second quarter Dave
Huckey hit his brother Don for a 46
yard pass play which apparently
had Rusty Markland badly fooled.
That drive was capped by a ten yard
touchdown run by Roland Hooks,
who displayed flashes of a Johnny
Rodger's style all night.
After the insuing kickoff ECU
put together its best drive of the
half, highlighted by a 50 yard
scamper by Grumpier. The march
was halted when, on a fourth down
play at the State five, quarterback
Carl Summerell was given no time
to pass. As a result he threw a
weak incompletion and State took
over on downs.
Had this contest been close
enough to have a turning point,
Crumpler's second fumble or this
failure to score from the State five
certainly would qualify. But
following that last frustration the
Pirates had the Wolfpack deep in
their own territory with the score
still 13-0. On second down and nine
from the State six, their
third-string quarterback John
Gargano was snowed under in the
end zone. Somehow he wriggled
out tc the half ard line and on the
very next play hit little George
Gantt for 37 yards to sink the
Bucs. Gantt was wide open on the
play, having put five yards between
himself and the Pirate's Mike
Myrick.
Before the half was over
Summerell was thrown for a safety
at the other end of the field to make
it 15 0; Charley Young weaved his
way through the "Wild Dogs" for a
39 yard touchdown gallop upping
the score to 22-0; Bruce Shaw
scrambled for a ten yard touchdown
play and later hit don Buckey for a
32 yard touchdown pass just before
the half ended making the score
36 0. The once suspect State
defense had established itself with
all the capabilities of a swarm of
bees.
Willie Burden accounted for the
only score of the third quarter on a
one yard touchdown plunge to cap a
61 yard State drive.
The defensive prowess of the
Pirate's Danny Kepley was evident
in the fourth quarter when he
intercepted two passes.
Immediately after the second one,
Summerell hit Stan Eure on an 18
yard touchdown play for ECU'S lone
score of the game. That made it
43 8 with a two-point conversion.
State scored twice in the closing
minutes of the game, an unfortunate
necessity in big time college
football, stretching the final margin
to 57-8.
The defensive improvement in
the Wolfpack was epitomized by one
third quarter play. Grumpier took a
pitchout from Summerell and
headed around left end toward the
Pirate bench. You could sense
everyone cringe as Grumpier was
buried by all eleven members of the
State defensive unit, and then
perhaps cringe a little more to see
the Pirate offensive line just
standing in the middle of the field.
State's defensive will take the
team as far as it wants to go, for the
offense is a good as any in the
nation. You will not find two better
quarterbacks than Shaw and Dave
Buckey on the same team, not a
more awesome collection of running
backs in the persons of Burden,
Fritts, Young, and Hooks. With
Don Buckey heading the receivers,
the Wolfpack seems to be able to
score at will. The line is solid with
the likes of Justus Everett, Bill
Yoest, and Rick Druschel, all
surefire All ACC candidates.
It was this overwhelming depth
that crushed the Pirates Saturday
night. State scored eight touch-
downs in the game and eight
different men accounted for
them. The 584 total yards they
gained was a new Wolfpack mark,
as was their staggering total of 30
first downs.
There seemed to be more of
everything at State: more people
(45,500 a Carter Stadium record),
a better band (ECU brought in a
guest high school band), and bigger
and better football players. The
Pirates return to competition
Saturday night when they travel to
Hattiesburg to meet a tough
Southern Mississippi club.
Soccer
ECU opens its soccer season
Friday at Wilmington in a two day
tournament.
Anyone interested in joining the
Pirate soccer team is urged to
report to head coach Monte Little at
Minges Field from 3 6 P.M. Monday
thru Friday.
EAST CAROLINA'S CARLESTER CRUMPLER races past N.C.
State defenders in Saturday night's game. Crumpler's efforts fell short
as State waltzed to a 57-8 victory. BY GUY COX
Carson looks for big
year in cross country
By STEPHEN G. THOMPKINS
"A great deal of hard, lonely
work So describes the grueling
sport of the cross country coached
by Bill Carson.
Cross country, once a sport
mainly used to condition and
strengthen a track coaches distance
runners, now has emerged as a
separate sport altogether.
Bill Bowerman, coach of
America's Olympic track team
describes cross country as, "the
most primary of all athletic
relationships: a man crossing the
earth unaided, as it presents itself
to him
Most collegiate cross country
courses are six miles in length, and
the team with the least number of
points wins. Points are given
according to the place each runner
finished in the race.
East Carolina's team is made up
of three upperclassmen and five
freshmen this year.
Gerald Klas, the captain and
only senior on the team, is an
experienced runner who has been
prone to injury but according to
('arson has gained strength over the
summer.
The number one runner of the
team is Ed Rigsby, a junior coming
off a fine sophomore year which saw
him take All Conference and
All State honors in cross-country
and end the year with a tremendous
bronze medal performance in the six
mile event at the conference meet.
('arson calls Rigsby and Klas,
"the best 12 runners in ECU
history
Backing these two runners will
be Jerry Hillard and five
freshmen. Hillard finished in the
top twenty in both the state and
conference meets last year. The
freshmen are Scott Miller, Steve
Michaels, Neil Bransfield, Raymond
Martin and Larry Clark.
Commenting on the team Carson
says, "All our training and early
meets will be preparatory for the
state and conference meets. We
won't run as a packed team as in
other years. Klas and Rigsby will
try for the best possible finish
they're capable of and we'll pack the
other runners
Asked how the conference race
was developing Carson said, "We
should finish a strong third, and
possibly we can battle Furman for
second. Of course, William and
Mary should have no trouble
repeating as champion. I'd rate
them as one of the top eight teams
in the country, right up there with
Indiana and Tennessee
Helping Carson coach this year
will be Ricky McDonald, a former
distance runner at ECU.
With daily training schedules
including grueling ten and twelve
mile runs in sweltering heat twice a
day, the cross country runner
represents the essence in athletic
achievement. Coachingand
watching such athletes are rare
experiences.
Female swimmers
called upon
All women interested in
competing on the women's
swimming team are invited to
contact Miss Stalling! at Memorial
Gymnasium as ROOD 81 possible.
