Five bills request
$31f985 from SGA
By MIKE PARSONS
Staff Writer
Requests for $31,985 were introduced
into the legislature and referred to
committess tor further study in the third
SGA legislative session held Monday,
Oct. 22.
A total of five bills were introduced
asking for appropriations. They were: LB
3-1, student government appropriation for
Women's Glee Club. It is sponsored by
Nancy Garrett and asks for the sum of
$940.
LB 3-2, Student government appro-
priation for the ECU Playhouse. It is
sponsored by Jane Noffsinger and asks
for the sum of $14,500.
LC 3-3, Student government appro-
priation for the ECU Wind Ensemble. It is
sponsored by Bill Beckner and asks for
the sum of $14,500.
LB 3-4, Student government appro-
priation for WECU. Sponsored by Rick
Gilliam and asks for the sum of $9,948.48.
LB 3-5, Student government appro-
priation for the ECU Symphony Orchestra.
It is sponsored by D.D. Dixon and asks for
a sum of $3,000.
In other business, LR 1-1, SGA
Legislatures Support for Crew and
LaCrosse Teams was brought to the floor
for debate. Arguments for the resolution
included "why a rifle team rather than
crew and lacrosse teams" and "why can't
the athletic department support these
teams?" The resolution was passed with
no opposing debate or amendments.
LB 1-3, Additional Appropriation for
the Student Loan Fund, which asks for
additional $2048. to be placed into the
fund, was brought to the floor under
favorable report of the committee. Cindy
Domme moved to have the bill returned to
mm
committee for further consideration. The
motion was defeated after arguments
showing the urgent need for the
appropriation and the fact that it had
already been considered by committee
were offered.
Jim Honeycutt then moved to amend
the proposal to $750. His arguments were
a "wait and see if we have the money"
attitude and "why should we appropraite
the money now and have to ask for it back
later Arguments against the amendment
included "if we have the money,
appropriate it" and "the need for more
money in the loan fund is urgent due to
the number of students who have inquired
for loans, but have not been able to obtain
them The amendment was defeated and
the bill was passed as brought onto the
floor.
The screening and appointments
committee offered the name of Mark
Denning as a legislator from Jones
Dorm. The post had become vacant due
to Honeycutt's conflict of interest as class,
president and legislator. Denning was
accepted and sworn it.
A special appropriations bill asking for
$1C1 to be provided the speaker's office
jfor supplies was introduced by Gilliam
1 under suspension of rules. Cindy Domme
j moved to amend the bill to fifty
'dollars. After the point of projected needs
was ascertained, the bill passed as
amended.
In announcements, Braxton Hall noted
that attendance has been poor at
committee meetings and reminded
legislators that role was being taken at all
meetings of committess and legislature.
Appropriations committee was told to
meet Wednesday at 4 p.m. The Executive
Council will hold screening of all boards
Thursday at 3 p.m.

Should the foreign language entrance
requirement at ECU be abolished or not?
This is the question causing a great
deal of personal and emotional distress to
many faculty members and interested
students, as well as a great amount of
discussion in a Faculty-Senate meeting
Tuesday afternoon.
The question's popularity was caused
by a recommendation by the Admissions
Committee to eliminate the foreign
language requirement for entering
freshmen which was submitted to the
Faculty Senate.
News of the proposal prior to the
meeting caused an informal banding of
faculty members of both opinions and a
small protest started by students who
delivered letters in opposition of the
proposal to all faculty members.
Two faculty members, Dr. Susan
McDaniels, Assistant Provost, and Dr.
Carolyn Bolt, foreign language professor,
were asked their opinions of the proposal
prior to the meeting.
Dr. McDaniels, a member of the
Admissions Committee, said that she
would rather not comment on her
personal opinion of the proposal, however
she did give reasons for adoption of the
proposal.
"There is no exit requirement, so why
should there be an entrance requirement
McDaniels said. "Many students with a
foreign language background in high
school place in the first level of language
on placement tests anyway and also many
other schools have deleted the
requirement. In fact, ECU is the only
school in North Carolina that has a
foreign language entrance requirement
and enforces it. Other schools offer a
disclaimer or grant admission regard-
less
The Admissions Committee has been
working on the proposal for three years
and has finally decided to act on it. A
survey was issued to the faculty last year
"regarding the importance of the
requirement. According to McDaniels,
most of the faculty were against it.
Dr. Carolyn Bolt, Assistant Professor
of Russian and German, said that the
proposal, if passed, "would be a
dis-service to the secondary school
systems of N.C and possibly jeopardize
foreign language majors' future occupa-
tions as high school teachers
"I am definitely opposed to the
Admissions Committee's recommend-
ation to delete the foreign language
entrance requirement Bolt commented.
"I have been shown no proof which
convinces me that this action will, in fact,
improve the services which a university
must necessarily render to its students
and its culture
The Faculty-Senate meeting Tuesday
afternoon was the scene of emotional
speeches and discussion. Many visitors,
including students and most of the
foreign language faculty members were
present at the open session.
The presentation of the Admissions
Committee's proposal was the first order
of business reviewed at the meeting. Dr.
Clemmens, chairman of the committee,
read the proposal to the senate. He said
that the reasons for the proposal had been
listed by the committee as follows: (1)
many colleges are dropping the
requirement, (2) a survey presented to
college presidents on opinions of the
requirement resulted in 41 against and 6
for keeping it, and (3) a report from
the Carnegie Panel showed that there is a
reduced need for a college preparatory
program in high schools.
Several visitors spoke on the topic
including Dean John Home, Director of
Admissions, who said that in his
observations in visiting high schools, that
there are some students that are
interested in attending ECU, but are not
eligible because of the foreign language
requirement.
Pauline Tudor, representative of
students against the proposal, said, "if
adopted, it would be a dis-service to the
university, the students and the high
schools. It has been proven that the
drop-out rate of students with a foreign
language background is lower than the
drop-out rate of students without a
foreign language background.
James Davis, Secretary for Academic
Affairs of the SGA, represented that
student body of ECU on behalf of the
SGA. Davis said that it was his general
conception that the studednts of ECU are
opposed to the requirement.
"I don't believe it is necessary to have this
requirement says Davis, "in fact I think
it hinders the students
"The proposal is not only a question of
admissions, but also a question of
values senator Thomas Williams said on
behalf of the foreign languages
department.
Williams submitted a substitute
proposal asking that an Ad Hoc

Two non-student girls were arrested
Tuesday night after a rash of stolen
pocketbooks in the women's dorms on

Dub to court orders
Students are eligible for stamps
By JOHN GHRIST
Due to recent federal court orders
more students than ever are now eligible
for food stamps.
The Food Stamp Act of 1964 was
designed to enable low-income house-
holds to buy more food, of greater variety,
to supplement their diets. Participants
pay a small amount of money based on
household size and monthly income, for
which they receive food stamps equivalent
to a larger value, which are used to
purchase food.
Many people who are eligible for food
stamps are unaware that they qualify for
this government largesse which they
support with their tax dollars.
Eligibility is determined on the basis
of households a family or other group
living together and functioning as a single
economic unit. A single economic unit is
one which pools its resources and jointly
buys things necessary to the household,
such as food, to be held and used in
common by all the members of the
household.
Until recently, a household was
defined by public welfare officials as
excluding groups of unrelated, unmarried
persons. Last spring the United States
District Court in Northern California
redefined "household" as an economic
unit in common living quarters which
shares common cooking facilities, and
customarily purchases food in common
for home consumption. A telegram
subsequently issued by the Food and
Nutrition Service of the Department of
Agriculture to all public welfare offices in
the country ordered compliance with the
District Court ruling.
The California ruling coupled with a
1972 restraining order forbidding welfare
officials to deny food stamps because the
members of a household were unrelated,
has greatly increased student eligibility
for food stamps.
Households of unrelated persons
rejected under the old rules may reapply,
but welfare offices are not required to
notify them of their eligibility.
Applicants are responsible for proving
their eligibility qualifications under the
nrw food stamp regulations.
Households also must meet other
qualifications to be eligible for the
program:
Applicants must meet a net income
limitation computed by deducting certain
mandatory expenses according to a
standard formula from all money received
by household members, except students
under 18.
Shelter costs of more than 30 percent
of the household income as calculated
after all other deductions should also be
deducted to calculate the net income.
The final net income figure is the basis on
which financial eligibility is determined.
The limits for net monthly income
allowable under the food stamp program
vary with the number of persons in the
household. The limit for one is $183; for
two, $240; for three, $313; for four, $387;
for five. $460; for six, $533, for seven,
$600; for eight, $667; and for each
additional person, add $53. The limits are
higher for Alaska and Hawaii because of
higher food costs in those states.
Households are required to not have
over $1500 in resources, including liquid
assets, and nonliquid assets, such as
land. Excluded are: a home; one car and
unlicensed vehicles; life insurance
policies: income-producing real estate
(though you have to count the income
elsewhere); vehicles needed for employ-
ment: and other resources such as the
tools of a tradesman and farm machinery.
All members of the household
between the ages of 18 and 65 who are
able-bodied must register to work, with
the exceptions of mothers or other
members of the household who have to
take care of dependent children under 17
years of age: students who are enrolled at
least half-time in recognized schools or
training programs; those who are
employed at least 30 hours per week; and
those who are mentally or physically
disabled.
If all these requirements are met, the
household is eligible to apply for food
stamps.
The head of an eligible household
must complete an application form and an
interview at the local welfare office. Cer-
tain documentary evidence should be
presented at the interview which
shows: where the household resides,
how many are in the household; how
much income they have; what resources
the household members have; and how
much they are paying for rent, medical
bills, child care, education, utilities, and
other expenses.
If the welfare office agrees that a
household is eligible to participate in the
program, the household is awarded food
stamps according to the number of
persons in the household and the net
income. The number of persons in the
household is crossmatched with the net
income figure to find the amount of
money which must be paid for the
monthly allocation of food stamps to a
See page 11
Campus opposes armed police
(CPS)-Fifty students staged a sit-in at the
president's office at the State University
of Buffalo last week in protest over a
proposal to arm campus police with a .38
caliber revolver.
The president, angered by the
incursion, said he was willing to meet
with representatives, but that anyone not
out of the office in 15 minutes would be
expelled. The demonstrators left and
twelve hastily chosen representatives met
with the president in another room and
demanded a statement from him that
campus police would not be armed.
When the president refused, the students
walked out.
A report prepared by the University's
committee on campus security recom-
mends that at least two campus
policemen on each shift be armed with
pistols. At present, none of the regular
security officers carry guns.
Under guidelines recently passed by
the State University Board of Trustees,
the decision to arm individual security
departments now rests with the president
of each local college. At the state
universities of Albany and Cortland, such
approval has already been granted.
The report urged that weapons be used
only against persons posing an extreme
threat and recommend the establishment
of a campus review board staffed by
students, faculty and staff. The board
would review cases where officers either
discharged or displayed weapons and
would have the power to take disciplinary
action against any offending officer.
The president at Buffalo is expected to
announce his decision within two weeks
and student leaders predict further
demonstrations if he authorizes police-
arming.

Labels give a clue
By CAROL WOOD
Staff Writer
FASHIONS CAN BE FATAL
When you purchase clothing, do
you ever examine the labels? If you don't
know what I mean by labels, maybe you
need to be clued in about the latest
clothing and textile legislation.
The Flammable Fabrics Act, insofar as
industry is concerned, has been a very
"hot topic One of the strict standards in
effect at the present time which concerns
apparel, is the childrens sleepwear
standard If future manufactured items do
not meet government flammability
standards, the product will be banned
from the market.
Industry seems to be anticipating total
flammability legislation. Many industries
are experimenting with flame retardant
fabrics for sportswear as well as
sleepwear
Industry has been under pressure to
come up with either fire resistant fibers or
flame retardant finishes. The issue has
been a point of controversy since the
legislation was introduced.
Many industries feel the government
standard too stringent and consequently
have been stalling for time. However, the
grace period is up for the children's
sleepwear standard - the law became
effective July 28. 1973.
Next year and years hence, it is
expected that legislation will be
introduced to encompass all clothing
apparel.
Why is it that industry hates the
legislation so much? The best answer is -
money.
One industry cited the example that a
$10 gown will cost $12 to $13 because of
the added cost of research. Garment
industries have been helped, however, by
the fiber industries. Because of the
flammability legislation, fiber industries
have been forced to develop fire retardant
fibers.
Another problem is the washability of
flame retardant fabrics. Only phosphate
detergents are to be used. Non-phos-
phate detergents or soaps, tend to cost
the fibers and reduce the flammability.
It will take a while for the government
to enforce the flammability legislation,
hence there may still be products on the
market which do not meet government
standards.
As consumers you are responsible for
examining labels in products before you
purchase them.
Even though certain apparel items
might cost $2 to $3 dollars more, wouldn't
you feel safer knowing the garment you
were wearing if placed near a source of
ignition would only char rather than burst
into flames?
To coin a cliche , "your money or your
life Which do you value more?
The Way House
'follows the Word'
By ELLERBE WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
It appeared to be an ordinary Sunday
night church service except for a few
slight changes.
Sprinkled among the traditional church
crowd of coats and ties and dresses were
long-haired young people in jeans and
sandals.
The building, too, was not a
magnificent steepled structure or even a
small country church, but the Greenville
American Legion hut.
The reason people were there,
however, was very traditional-worship.
They were there to hear Dr. Victor Paul
Wierville, director and founder of The
Way.
The Way, begun 31 years ago, is a
Biblical research and teaching ministry
International in scope, with headquarters
in New Knoxville, Ohio, it is based on a
strict and exact following of the Word of
God.
The Way Home, located at 2007 E.
Fifth St is the hub of Way activity in
Greenville. Ministry activities are coor-
dinated there for the entire state.
On a recent Sunday night there was
standing room only as believers gathered
to hear Dr. Wierwille. Some came from as
far away as Tennessee and Georgia, and
Gary Walton, a freshman at the University
of Georgia, said he was definitely glad I
made the trip
A surprise to some unfamiliar with The
Way was the contemporary music and
lack of formalized church tradition. A
rock band, The Master's Hand, provided
the music and was often accompanied by
a young Black singer, Claudette Royal.
Although The Way is extremely
popular with young people it is not a part
of the "Jesus Freak" movement. "We
don't need drugs or anything to help
enrich our religious experience stated
Denise Hall, a junior at East Carolina
University. "We get high naturally on
God
It isn't only young people that are
involved in the ministry either. Ray
Scharf, the ECU swimming coach, and his
family are a part of The Way family along
with John Lovstedt, former ECU diving
coach, and his wife.
The Way organization is best
described in terms of a tree. The roots are
in New Knoxville with each state
representing a limb. Towns which have
ministries are referred to as branches.
The main work of the ministry is done in
what is called a twig. A twig meets in an
individual home of one of its memrbers
Monday through Friday. The twig
meeting usually lasts only a few minutes
during which there is prayer, songs, and a
short scripture teaching.
"Twigs are what keep the ministry
growing explained Tom Deaton, an ECU
senior and twig leader. "As soon as we
get more than six or seven believers in a
twig we divide and form a new on "
Dr. Wierwille put it this way
Sunday. "We're the only ministry I know
of that grows by breaking up
Russ Chandler, a graduate student and
former ECU football player said, "The Way
has really opened up doors for me. The
Word of God has given me an inner peace
that I never knew before. It's more than a
religion. It's a way of life
Student Union publishes
The Entertainer' weekly
By GARY GIBSON
Staff Writer
A new publication, The Entertainer, is
available to ECU students this fall.
The Entertainer is published by the
ECU Student Union. The purpose of the
publication is to inform students of Union
actiivities and campus entertainment.
Since last year the programming of
student entertainment has been taken
from the hands of the SGA and put into
the hands of the Student Union. The
Union has hired a program director, Diwer
Martin, and an assistant, Ken Hammond,
to coordinate these programming
activities.
Gibert Kennedy, Union President, said
the Entertainer was put out on a weekly
basis in order to increase attendance at
Union events.
The responsibility for putting out the
publication is in the hands of two
students, Gary Gibson and Kathy
Jones. Gibson, a former staff writer for
the Washington Daily News, is now the
main writer for the Entertainer. Ms. Jones
will take over the helm when Gibson
graduates in February.
According to Hammond, who oversees
the project, the Entertainer is a break-even
project with the money accrued from
advertising paying for the cost of printing.
The Entertainer is planned two weeks
ahead of time in order for the printer to
make a proof and return it to the staff for
examination. The Entertainer is then
mailed to all season ticket holders and
distributed around campus and the citv.
So if you see a bright-colored
pamphlet floating around the chances are
that it will contain a line-up of all campus
entertainment for the week. Pick it up, it
may be helpful for your extracurricular
activities.

NOATI seeks to improve situation
Alcoholism affects work habits
GREENVILLE - Joe R 42, has been an
accountant for a large industrial firm for
14 years. Most of that time, Joe has been
regarded as a valuable employee and a
cooperative, likable fellow by his
co-workers.
Lately, however, Joe's work perfor-
mance has deteriorated. He often gets
"mixed up" about important details; he is
absent from the office frequently; and
because of his occasional belligerence
and temper flare-ups, other employees in
his department are finding him difficult to
work with.
Even though he hasn't admitted it yet,
Joe is an alcoholic.
Because of Joe and nine million other
alcoholics in the work force, American
industry is losing $10-$15 billion each
year-the result of poor job performance
which affects productivity.
East Carolina University, through its
National Occupational Alcoholism Train-
ing Institute (NOATI), is seeking to
improve this critical situation.
The ECU Division of Continuing
Education sponsors a blue-ribbon
Advisory Committee of alcohol abuse
specialists and top business leaders
which will help in the establishment of a
national training program for coordinators
working with alcoholic workers.
Meeting in New York last week, the
16-member Advisory Committee deve-
loped plans for its two-fold function: to
help to identify areas of training need for
people who will be employed as
administrators of the nationwide Em-
ployee Assistance Programs, and to be a
continuous resource to the organizers of
these programs as they go into operation.
Members of the committee include
executives from personnel programs at
General Motors Corp, ITT, General
Electric Co Kennecott Copper Corp and
Hughes Aircraft Co administrators from
the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism; officials from mental
health agencies in Ohio, Connecticut and
Tennessee; educators from Cornell
University and Baruch College (N.Y.); and
an AFL-CIO official.
Brayom E. Anderson Jr NOATI
coordinator for the ECU Division of
Continuing Education, said that for the
past 16 months, NOATI has been training
106 occupational program consultants
who have initiated more than 200
programs throughout the U.S. Many
more, however, are needed.
"Employee Assistance Programs
basically provide the employee and his
family a resource within the company
setting that can work with them in trying
to help overcome various kinds of
problems explained Anderson.
"Any problem of the employee which
is affecting his ability to function on the
job- and within the family can be
undertaken by the Employee Assistance
Progrram administrator.
While most of these programs will be
related to the abuse of drugs or alcohol,
the administrator willbe equipped to work
with employees plagued with marital,
financial, legal, medical or behavioral
problems as well, said Anderson.
Each Employee Assistance Program
will be set up with the full cooperation of
the company, which will assist in its
design and invite employees to take
advantage of it.
Anderson describes the work of the
Employee Assistance Program adminis-
trator as "administrative in nature, but
essentially involved in public relations
and community development as well as
counseling.
"The administrators will perform a
variety of jobs in order to insure that the
employee is able to be helped either in the
plant by plant personnel or by some
identified community resource he noted.
"With over 200 of these programs
already ueing established, and many,
many more projected between now and
July, 1974, it is apparent that some
training opportunity must be provided for
Employee Assistance administrators
before they can become heavily involved
in implementing program policy.
"East Carolina University will offer a
program to train company personnel
administrators in the skills and abilities
which are necessary for their success as
heads of Employee Assistance Pro-
grams
He said the training would consist of
an intensive two-week session, followed
by actual field work. A few months later,
trainees will re-assemble to discuss their
field experience and their general
effectiveness.
"The pilot training session will be
limited to 50 persons said Anderson,
"and we believe these 50 will represent
some of the leading industries of 'Fortune
500
"After the initial training session, we
will consider the response from
participants and revise the program to
make it more meaningful; then we will
offere the training sessions in four
different locations in the U.S.
"The Advisory Committee will be our
'sounding board' to test all aspects of the
program
At the present time, the NOATI must
select a planning committee who, with
the imput of the Advisory Committee, will
do the actual planning of the training
institute.
The planning session is scheduled for
Washing, DC. in late October.
Of his major role in the development
of Employee Assistance Programs,
Anderson said: "We feel very strongly
that it is appropriate for the ECU Division
of Continuing Education to expand its
realm of public service from eastern North
Carolina and North Carolina to include the
nation.
"There is a tremendous need for
continuing kinds of training efforts to be
supportive of the Occupational Program
that NOATI has been involved in for the
past 16 months.
"The great annual loss to business and
industry because of employee alcoholism
is generally recognized
"It will be the task of the various
Employee Assistance Programs to help
recover that loss on the level of the
individual employee, whose alcoholism
and other problems have inhibited his
ability to function, both as a worker and
as a person

Commendations
Nixon's psychotherapist
This is a commendatory editorial,
directed toward two institutions which
rarely, if ever, receive much day-to-day
comment: Joyner Library and the
University Union.
Since its restructuring into the
open-stacks format, Joyner has sustained
an all-over improvement. Despite the
door-check necessity, the library itself
seems far more accessible to the student;
even the rigid formation of the reference
room tables has been altered to a
clustered mode, adding to an already
more congenial atmosphere. We wish
Joyner Library luck with its new addition,
and congratulate it for the changes
already made.
As for the Union - this is a topic we've
been planning to discourse on for a
while. The physical Student Union itself
has undergone a minor, but noticeable
change in the racking and organization of
newspapers - last year the Union was a
maze of scattered newsprint as papers
were casually tossed about. For some
reason we can't pinpont, the Union seems
far more coherent now than it has in the
past - not only in terms of a physical
facility, but due to the valuable publicity
disseminated via the Entertainer. What-
ever is being done, it is being done in a
well-organized and coherent manner.
So, rather than postponing our
commendations any longer, we've chosen
to make them known. The improvements
in Joyner Library and the Union are
indicative of a generally more interested
attitude in campus institutions and
organizations - not necessarily of a
rah-rah purple and gold variety, but out of
sincere concern for quality and
efficiency. We are trying as well.

Mr CLEAREST RECOLLECTION,
AT THIS POIhTT IM TIME
Vietnam peace in news
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - President Nixon's
psychotherapist is back in the news. He
is Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker who treated
Nixon several years ago. There should be
no stigma attached to this. But voters
who don't understand psychotherapy,
apparently, believe those who receive it
are mentally unstable. It has become a
political liability, therefore, to be caught
receiving psychotherapy.
Nixon vigorously denied that he had
received any such treatment. He had
gone to see Dr. Hutschnecker, said
Nixon, for treatment of an internal
disorder. It is true that Hutschnecker
once had been an internist, but he had
given up the practice for psychotherapy.
The President still won't admit, however,
that he received psychiatric counseling.
Last year, Sen. Tom Eaglet on gave up
the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation over the issue of his psychiatric
treatment. This dramatized again the
political danger of such care.
In 1965, Vice President designate
Gerald Ford visited President Nixon's
psychotherapist. The man who arranged
the appointment, Rober Winter-Berger,
said Ford sought relief from pressures
that made him "irritable, nervous and
depressed Ford was a patient of the
psychotherapist, claimed Winter-Berger,
"for at least a year
Both Ford and Dr. Hutschnecker have
denied this. Ford swore to us that he had
visited Dr. Hutschnecker at Winter-Ber-
ger5 s pleading, received a "15-minute
lecture on psychology" and never saw him
again.
Whether Ford received psychotherapy
or not, those who know him have no
doubt that he is completely sane, sound
and sensible.
No Peace - Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger has now received the Nobel
Prize for his part in ending the Vietnam
War. And President Nixon, beseiged by
Watergate, never misses a change to
remind his fellow Americans that he
achieved "peace with honor
But the secret intelligence reports
show clearly that peace hasn't come to
Vietnam at all. The new spotlight has
shifted to the Middle East, but the
fighting goes on in the Vietnam
countryside. The reports out of Hanoi
warn that the North Vietnamese leaders
haven't given up any of their goals. Their
objective is still a Communist takeover of
all Vietnam. And secret U.S. estimates
warn they are likely to accomplish this,
probably before the end of the decade.
Yet American soldiers fought in the
South Vietnam jungles for more than
eight years to prevent a Communist
takeover. The United States exploded a
staggering 15 million tons of munitions
and sprayed over 100 million tons of
herbicides upon this small country.
The cost to the U.S nearly 54,000
Americans killed, 300,00 wounded, 8,000
aircraft lost and hundreds of billions of
dollars down the drain. The exact figure
is hard to calculate when wasted human
resources and veterans benefits are
counted. Some scholars have figured the
cost of the Vietnam War to the American
taxpayer at over $650 billion. This would
come to more than $12,000 for each
American family.
Yet all these lives and all these billions
were lost to prevent a Communist
takeover that our top strategists now
predict will occur anyway in a few years.
The Economy - While war and
Watergate may dominate the headlines,
White House policy-makers are equally
concerned about the economy. They are
torn by conflicting economic advice.
Some experts warn that the menace is
inflation. Others see signs on the
economic horizon of a severe recession.
This much seems certain: Heating
fuels will be rationed, and gasoline prices
are going up probably to $1 a gallon. The
government will call upon all Americans
to turn down their house thermometers,
replace their pilot lights with automatic
ignition devices and add insulation to
their homes. They should be prepared for
chillier homes, electricity interruptions
and less pleasure driving.
At the supermarket, bakery and dairy
prices are expected to continue going
up. The U.S. wheat reserves will be
depleted next spring unless export
controls are adopted. And the high cost
of feed grains has caused farmers to cut
down on their dairy herds
Turkeys should also cost double on
Thanksgiving what they did a year
ago. But beef prices should hold steady
or, perhaps, even drop slightly. Plenty of
beef now appears to be available through
1975.
For the average American, however,
his purchasing power will decline in the
months ahead.
Two Masters - The Constitution
declares that a Congressman cannot serve
two masters. Yet at last count 108
members of Congress held commission in
the military reserves.
This formidable band of weekend
warriors provides valuable, if not valiant,
service for the Pentagon. Seven Senators
and 10 Congressmen on the Armed
Service Committees, for example, are
reservists. Ten more reservists on the
House committee which directly oversees
the Pentagon budget.
Fifteen legislators draw military
pensions in addition to their Congress-
ional salaries. Nevada's Sen Howard
Cannon for example, collects an extra
$8,600 as a retired major general in the Air
Force reserves. House Speaker Carl
Albert, a retired Army reserve colonel,
takes home over $66,000 in combined
salary and pension.
Senator Barry Goldwater, a retired Air
Force reserve general, has said privately
he really didn't think it was right for
reservists to serve in Congress. He was
then asked why he didn't refuse his
retirement check. Goldwater replied that
such a request: "Would never get
through the (Pentagon) computer
Back in the days when Congress took
the Constitution seriously, a Senator from
Kansas was ejected from office for
accepting a reserve commission in the
Union Army. If today's lawmakers were
equally strict, a full fifth of Congress
would be looking for new jobs.

A Question
To Fountainhead:
Why is Fountainhead called Fountain-
head?
An Interested Person
Editor's Note: Not having Chip Callaway
-the 1969 editor who changed the name
from the East Carolinian - on hand, we are
left to speculate. Staffers have cited
everything from Wright Fountain to Ayn
Rand's novel, "The Fountainhead as
possible sources.
We've found a possible source for
the name in terms of the following excerpt
from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience
"They who know of no purer sources
of truth, who have traced up its stream no
higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the
Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it
there with reverence and humility; but
they who behold where it comes trickling
into this lake and that pool, gird up their
loins once more, and continue their
pilgrimage toward its fountainhead
The paper is now only in its fifth year
as Fountainhead; prior to this it was the
East Carolinian and, earlier, the Teco
Echo, which is as far removed from reality
as we'd ever like to get.
Permissive age
To Fountainhead:
This permissive age in which we live
expresses itself in many ways, and they
are all condemnatory.
Say what we wish, the easy-going,
permissive, do-as-you-like, anything-goes
philosophy is destroying us, and to allow
it to continue is but to bring further
tragedy upon us.
What has been the result of this
condition thus far?
We have a world "revolution" in
immorality in which virtue is thrown to the
winds.
We have an epidemic of veneral
disease, which no one likes to talk about,
but which now is more prevalent than any
disease except the common cold in
winter.
We have a crime wave exceeding even
our greatest fears of a few years ago.
We have a tidal wave of drug abuse,
which is taking lives, causing insanity and
destroying character among literally
hundreds of thousands of teenagers and
young adults.
We have presently developed an
almost unbelievable disregard for family
life, parental direction and mutual respect
between parents and children.
We have a skyrocketing surge of
juvenile delinquency hitherto unheard of.
We have such a rapid increase in
divorce that in some areas separations are
rapidly approaching the number of
marriages.
We have so many child marriages, in
which many girls are pregnant, that the
schools begin to wonder how they can
accomodate so many students who
require special care.
There is a revulsion toward work on
the part of hosts of young and old alike,
and in the midst of our greatest prosperity
we have steadily mounting relief rolls.
In other words, character is ebbing
away fast under this permissive system
which seems not to care about character,
and which demands security but is doing
its utmost to destroy it.
How much more will be required to
shock us out of this dream of false
values, and make us realize that there is
not substitute for honor, nor for honesty,
nor for virtue and other traits of good
character?
It is significant that all of our ills have
followed a rapid decline in. spirituality
which is the great bulwark of good
character.

Language reply
To the Editor:
I am somewhat aghast at your editorial
and the accompanying pseudo-editorial in
the forum dealing with a proposed drop of
a foreign language requirement for
entering freshmen. The first shocking
thing is that there is no hard fact article to
compare your opinions with. You have
set a fine example of fair newspaper
coverage in this instance. Perhaps you
would have been better off to have written
that hard-hitting action packed editorial
on the SGA after all and left that forum
back-up letter to stand alone on its own
wobbly legs.
I sincerely hope that you will print a
full statement of the faculty proposal in
the next issue, but for now let me present
my opinion with what little I have to go
on. You both (letter and editorial writer or
writers?) imply that the foreign language
program is forthwith going down the
drain. Nothing could be further from the
truth. Each department and school will
continue to set its own standards
regarding learning a language before
graduation and certainly if a student has
no prior language training the challenge
will not be less, as you stated, but
greater.
The attitude displayed by the letter
writer and the editor is one in my opinion
of intellectual snobbery. Let's keep the
peons from coming in and lowering out.
standards. Let's try to turn out the finest
human beings possible as long as they
match our own sterling qualities to being
with. Bullshit!
The letter writers two reasons for
learning a foreign language are delightful
examples of foofawral. With todays vast
mobility you cannot depend on one or two
extra languages to get by if you wish to
communicate with large sections of
earths population. You need to speak
Chinese, Japanese, russian and swahili.
Most of which is not offered here. As for
helping one with learning English I refer
you to Winston CHurchill's command of
the language and his own struggles with
that foreign obstinancy, the French
language. He put it in other words, but
what he said was that you learn english
by learning english.
As far as learning culture through a
language, that's like saying you learn a
forest by studying one tree. No
standardized foreign language at the high
school or college level is going to offer
the slighest peek at the diversity of dialect
that one is likely to encounter in the field,
much less the convoluted levels of culture
that exist there.
Then there is the statement that the
best universities have the longest waiting
lists. The implicatior is that their high
entrance standards attracted students in
droves. Actually, their names and
reputations when job hunting after
graduation are the drawing cards. And
their long waiting lists are the result of a
limited enrollment and their standards are
high because they can afford to be.
We are a state institution, dedicated to
providing, as a base reason for existence,
education to north Carolinians who want
to learn. Entrance requirements are a
means of limiting that opportunity and a
negative approach to state sponsored
education. The only criterion ought to be
the willingness to try. The only test to
stay in school the ability to pass and
graduate. We are not Harvard or Yale and
never could be-and never should be. Let
us leave that distinction to private
institutions such as Duke. Let us throw
our doors open wide and keep our house
full rather than empty our halls and stunt
our purpose to please a few.

Ficklen Stadium
To Fountainhead:
Dr. Jenkins has announced his
intention of enlarging Ficklen Stadium
and his eventual goal of attaining
membership in the Atlantic Coast
Conference for East Carolina.
Ficklen Stadium has never been sold
out-never once. Teams such as State and
Carolina will not play here because of the
obvious financial reasons. The question
remains to be answered as to whether
stadium expansion could be coordinated
with scheduling, often done up to ten
years in advance, of teams that would
come here and attract the necessary
crowds.
Putting aside various other points, the
main issue is money. We need money to
make the stadium bigger, money to
provide grants for more and better
athletes, and money for all the added frills
of an athletic program of ACC caliber.
Dr. Jenkr.s also has other fine goals
for the university. These include a
medical school, a law school, a
planetarium, and that bell tower. I admire
Dr. Jenkins' enthusiasm, but will
someone please tell me where the
priorities of this school lie and where the
money is going to come from to
implement all of this.

Nixonomics agriculture and consumer prices
By Tristram Coffin
WORDS OF WISDOM - One of
America's finest practicing economists,
Robert R. Nathan (he was FDR's advisor
in key war years), writes us: "The
Administration's economic policies are
really disastrous. They have refused to
recognize that we have had an inflation
spiral and, as a result, for a year and a
half after Nixon came into office there
was serious inflation and they tried to
fight it with a recession, but it did not
work. Finally, they came around to
realize that the spiral needed some kind of
control and they did introduce controls in
August 1971
"The controls could have been tougher
and administered a little more effectively,
but nevertheless they did bring some
slowdown in the rate of inflation. Then
came the disasterous decision in Janaury
to remove Phase II and move to Phase
III. This was probably the worst economic
mistake that has been made in decades,
and it was absolutely stupid and quite
clearly wrong at the time. It was a move
by people who hate controls and who felt
that they just had to unload them
"One of the serious problems has to
do with agriculture, and here I think the
Administration made a political and
mnmmmmmmmmmmmfmmnmmmnmnmm
economic mistake of horrendous pro-
portions. Farm prices rose quite sharply
in late months of 1971 and early in
1972. They did level, or rather decline in
one month and leveled in another month,
but then came the Russian sale and prices
broke all records in the rate of increase
that occurred thereafter.
"The combination of the earlier sharp
price rise and the Russian sale should
have warned that large supplies were
needed and were justified, but, because
of the election of 1972, they held back on
lifting the acreage and other controls. As
a result we have the disastrous food
inflation along with tremendous Russian
benefits from our foolishness.
"There is a pretty good chance that
consumer prices at the end of the year are
going to be ten percent higher than the
beginning of the year, and possibly
more. I think this outfit hates controls so
much that they are going to return to a
recession as a solution, and again I think
it won't work, and we are going to have
unemployment and inflation

Term paper 'mills'
ruled illegal in N. C. Study tour is planned
Term paper mills are against the law.
But since the opening of schools, ads
have appeared offering "services" or
"employment" in the term paper
trade. These ads are published in campus
community newspapers in the help-
wanted ads in the classified sections.
In at least one state newspaper, a
California-based firm has had the
following ad published:
"BRANCH MGR. needed immediately
to operate research service for area
college students (term papers, etc.)
$8000-$20,000 yearly. Must be 21 with
min. 3 yrs. college
The employment offered, as you can
see, is for office personnel and
researchers. The salary offered immed-
iately attracts attention because the
maximum income is attractive. There is,
however, a broad salary range, depending
on demand for the service and the volume
of work the applicant expects to produce.
Until recently, many North Carolina
college newspapers regularly advertised
the services of these companies. But,
controversy developed over the fine line
distinction between providing a "term
paper" and selling "research services
The law enacted by the North Carolina
legislature provides that it is illegal to
�prepare or advertise offer or attempt to
prepare a term paper, thesis, or
dissertation for another These com-
panies claim that their papers are for
"research" and to be used as research
material only. Yet they are delivered in
classroom-ready form and lack only the
signature and date.
To avoid the controversy and to ease
the temptation to plagiarize the
ready-made papers, many campus
newspapers in the state have decided to
discontinue publication of the ads.
Editorial personnel at the Duke
University "Chronicle the University of
North Carolina "Daily Tar Heel and the
North Carolina State University "Techni-
cian" decided individually not to publish
these ads All campus newspapers were
asked by their respective administratorsto
consider barring them. The ultimate
decisions, however, were made by
editorial and business staffs, according to
spokesmen from each newspaper.
The Consumer Protection Division is
investigating the companies promoting
these services and offering employment.
We don't want students who need extra
income to be lured by out-of-state firms
into illegal activity. If you have been
contacted by such a company or have
seen their advertisements in the
newspaper, please notify the Division.
Universities:
legal to bar
certain races?
(CPS)-the Supreme Court will soon be
deciding if religious conviction and
freedom entitles a university to bar
entrance to people of specific races.
The Court agreed October 9 to hear
Bob Jones University's (SC) argument that
it has been unfairly deprived of its
tax-exempt status because of its policy of
excluding blacks.
The university argues that its
whites-only admission policies stem from
"deep religious conviction" which it is
entitled to exercise under the First
Amendment. Since its founding in 1929,
it has had tax exempt status as an
"eleemosynary" (supported by charity)
educational organization.
In the summer of 1970, after a series
of negotiations broke down, the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) revoKea that status,
and the school filed suit in Court seeking
an injunction to halt the revocation. The
court allowed the injunction, observing,
"The conclusion is inescapable that the
primary purpose of the IRS in threatening

A European Urban Study Tour is being
planned by the ECU Department of
Geography and Division of Continuing
Education for next summer.
Official lectures and guided tours will
provide an insight into the urban
structures in and around the major cities
of England, Hollard, Belgium, and France
during the more than three weeks tour,
leaving Dulles International Airport,
Washington, D.C. on June 17 and
returning on July 12.
Highlights in London include field
tours of the new Barbican District in
central London, the Green Belt around
London, and inspection of a new city
outside of the British capital. Before
leaving England the group will view the
White Cliffs of Dover and then take a ferry
across the Strait of Dover to Ostende,
Belgium through Bruges, Ghent, and
Antwerp on the way to Amsterdam where
Dutch officials will give their analysis of
old and new sections of the city. Field
trips to places near this "Venice of the
West" will include a planned settlement of
a new polder (diked and drained area) on
one day and a trip to the Hague on
another.
In addition to a study of Brussels
itself, the NATO Headquarters and the
European Common Market Offices will be
visited in Brussels. A side trip will be
taken to the interesting Belgian university
city of Leuven. Several days will be spent
in Paris, not only viewing the tourist
attractions but also seeing and having the
structure of the city explained. The new
market of Rungis near Orly Airport and
one of the new planned cities of Evry or
Cergy-Pontoise will be inspected. There
will be a free day or afternoon in most
places for individual activities.
Six quarter hours of credit may be
earned on this European Urban Study
Tour.
The price of the tour will include
tuition, round-trip air fare, ground
transportation, lodging, two meals Der
day (breakfast and evening dinner) and
most baggage charges. Although an
exact price cannot be given at this time,
because of the fluctuation of exchange
rates, it is expected that it may approach
but still be under $1,000.
The urban study program is designed
for students and teachers as well as
planners. It has been developed for
quality and balance. Officials will answer
technical as well as general questions
regarding the cities. And much in-depth
exploration of the cities will provide more
insight into their structures and planning
than would a general tour. Evenings and
some days will be free for study and
pursuit of cultural and special interests.
Director of the tour will be Dr. Ralph
E. Birchard of the Department of
Geography of ECU. Dr. Birchard has
directed European Tours in 1971 and 1972
for the National fcducation Association
and taught at the Overseas Campus at
Bonn, West Germany during the Fall
Quarter of 1971. He teaches courses on
Western Europe and Urban Geography.

Insect eating
(CPS)Are you ready for insects to take
their place as a major source of protein in
your diet? It could happen.
Numerous bug experts are reporting
that insects are a cheap and accessible
source of protein. Termites - whether
raw, dried or smokes - are 35 percent
protein and sto high in fat. Grasshoppers
- whether whole or ground into flour - are
high in iron and have twice the protein of
wheat flour.
Caterpillars and other larvae in dried-
form are 53 percent protein.

household of that size. For instance, if
there are four people in the household,
the monthly allotment is always $116. If
the net income of the household is $155,
the cost for $116 worth of food stamps
will be $41 a month.
If the welfare office does not agree,
the head of the household can demand a
"fair hearing The local welfare office is
obligated to explain the procedures of
obtaining a fair hearing to all applicants
food stamps, and must also assist the
household in making out its request and
preparing its case for presentation to a
hearing authority.
The hearing authority is a higher-rank-
ing person within the welfare hierarchy. It
may be the highest-ranking officer of the
state or it may be a panel of several
officers of the welfare agency. The
hearing will be held at a date, time and
place convenient to the household.
At the hearing, the applicant may
present arguments and evidence on his
own behalf. He or his representative has
the right to: examine all documents and
records which might be used at the
hearing, bring witnesses, submit evidence
to establish pertinent facts, and question
or refute any testimony or evidence.
Once the hearing has been held, the
welfare office must act within sixty days.
Bridge barrier is
to stop suicide
(CPS)-The Golden Gate Bridge Authority
is contemplating erecting a barrier ip an
attempt to cut down the number of
suicide leaps from the 46-foot high
bridge.
Golden Gate is the number one
location for suicides by jumping in the
world. So far, 499 people have
successfully done away with themselves
by stepping off the bridge, and 1440
others have been seized, persuaded or
otherwise prevented from following suit.
The proposed barrier would cost $1
million and has sparked a strange
controversy.
A signficant number of people have
expressed opposition to the barrier for
several reasons. First the barrier would
be ugly and destroy the view. Second,
potential suicides would only go
elsewhere to kill themselves. And finally,
some people feel that if someone wants
to kill himself, no one really has the right
to try and stop him.
Those in favor of the barrier say the
very existence of the bridge and its
availability for easy suicide cause the
large number of deaths. According to the
New York Times, San Francisco
psychologist Richard Seidon has done a
study showing that of the 1440 people
prevented from "getting off only 4
percent went elsewhere and killed
themselves.
One woman offered another solution
to the problem. She felt a diving board
should be placed on the bridge, with a
jacket hook, paper, and a mailbox for
suicide notes. This would make the idea
of suicide from the bridge look silly, she
felt.
The barrier is now undergoing tests in
Washington for wind resistance, and a
final decision will not be made until later
this month. If the Authority votes in
favor, the barrier will be put up early next
year, but probably to late to stop bumber
500.
This includes notifying the head of the
household in writing of the decision of th
hearing authority, and of any rights of
further review.
Food stamps are like money. Once
they are received, they should be counted
and endorsed promptly. If any food
stamp books are lost, prompt notification
of the local welfare office should result in
replacement.
The stamps are only good in exchange
for food products grown or packaged in
the United States (the only exceptions to
this are coffee, tea, cocoa, and
bananas). Imported foods and non-edible
items must be paid for with cash.
It is illegal to sell or give away food
stamps and they cannot be used to pay
credit accounts. It is also illegal to use
stamps which belong to someone
else. Penalties for misuse vary according,
to the amount of coupons involved.
Any questions about the food stamp
program can be answered by calling or
visiting your local welfare office. Require-
ments and procedures are uniform
regardless of sex, race, creed, color,
national origin, or political beliefs.

Bussey loves her game
By LARRY CRANDALL
Staff Writer
She's a good all-around player - as
consistent as any I've seen. But even
more important, she's just a nice, sincere
person.
-Gwynn Hawes, UNC-W tennis player
The subject of the conversation was
20-year-old Susan Royal I Bussey,
currently ECU'S number two ranked tennis
player. A senior P.E. major, the
engaging, unassuming Miss Bussey puts
to shame the traditional image of the "girl
jock
"I'd really like to see that image
changed Susan said. "I think that's why
a lot of girls shy away from sports
Born in Florence, South Carolina,
Susan moved to Wilson when she was
12. It was at Wilson's Fike High that her
love for tennis blossomed.
"We started having a tennis team when
I was a junior she recalled. "I began my
senior year a number eight. It was then
that I took up the game seriously. I would
practice 2-3 times a day - at night or after
school. I had moved up to number five by
the end of the year
Her game developed so rapidly that
she became ECU'S top-rated player as a
freshman, a position she held until one
week ago.
"We have challenge matches during
the week-ends Susan explained. "Ginny
Deese challenged and beat me 7-6, tie
breaker in the third set
This year, for the first time, the girls
are playing fall matches. "So many
schools are getting out earlier now, we
decided to play in the fall. I really like it
better - it's not so windy
Susan's companions have also
successfully adapted to the fall
schedule. Thus far, they have waltzed
through six opponents, including a
first-ever victory over perennial power St.
Mary's.
"We really have a well-balanced team
Susan continued. "Our top six players are
pretty even
Included among the top six is Susan's
long-time doubles partner, Ellen Warren.
"Ellen and I have played together for
about four years now. We've developed a
pretty good rivalry
Susan's athletic pursuits extend to
water sports, such as swimming and
skiing and bicycling. During the summer
she works as a lifeguard at the Camp
Donlee Water Sports Camp near New
Bern. A typical winter would not be
complete without a visit to Sugar
Mountain ski resort.
It is on the tennis court, however,
where her skills are most evident. Carol
Reeve's, ECU'S tennis coach, described
Susan as "a cool cookie - she never
seems to get upset or excited Another
observer noted, "All phases of her game
are sound - ground strokes, serve,
backhand. She has quick reflexes and
displays remarkable poise
By no means are her interests
confined to athletics, however. She views
the women's liberation movement as
basically beneficial. "It's about time we
look at women as individuals instead of
home bodies she contended. Among
his leisure activities are listening to music
and sewing.
After student teaching at Jones Junior
High in Washington this winter, Susan
returns to the ECU campus and tennis
next spring, when she hopes to
participate in the annual Tennis Day
activities. This is a statewide.tournament
featuring North Carolina's premier college
players. Susan and Ellen finished second
in doubles competition during the 1971
tournament.
After graduation, Susan plans a career
in the recreational field working with the
mentally retarded.
Reflecting on her ECU tennis career,
she said, "I've really enjoyed playing
here. I've met a lot of people, established
many new friendships, and have enjoyed
the trips and seeing other schools
Booters whipped by Duke
IHII.MllH
Playing what assistant coach Ed
Wolcott called "one of the finest games
we have played this season the Pirate
soccer team dropped a bitter 5-2 decision
to the Duke Blue Devils on Tuesday
afternoon.
The visitors from Duke tore up Mingcs
Field in the first half as they touched the
Buc defense for three tallies. The East
Carolina offense was able to move the ball
downfield fairly successfully, but the big
shot to get the ball into the net was not
forthcoming.
East Carolina came out for the second
half with their swords drawn. Freshman
Pete Angus, playing his first game at his
new position (forward), took a picture
perfect pass from Brad Smith and beat the
Duke goalie to cut the lead to 3-1.
Tom O'Shea then punched one into the
goal as he received assists from Danny
O'Shea and Dave Schaler.
The Blue Devils, finding their lead
slowly dissolving, regrouped and added a
pair of goals to take away the Pirates'
hopes for an upset.
Many members of the Duke squad
were of Spanish descent and as they
played the game they gave their
commands in Spanish. This only added
to the confusion on the field and the Bucs
found themselves going the wrong way
more than once.
Tom Tozer and Lee Ellis were
exceptional at halfback. Fullbacks Brad
Smith, Scott Balas and Doug Burnett were
fairly successful at shutting off Duke's
potent offensive attack. Burneit was
playing his first game of the year.
The Blue Devils, now 6-1, prepare to
face a rough Virginia squad. East
Carolina, presently 0-6-2, must pull
themselves up by the bootstraps and try
to come back against William and Mary
on Saturday at 2 P.M. on Minges Field.
EAST CAROLINA'S FIELD HOCKEY TEAM, currently 2-1-1, travels to
Richmond to compete in the Hockey Day Tournament. The girls lost their first
game of the year to Old Dominion on Tuesday.
Harriers hit the road
A field featuring numerous Ail-Amer-
icans and the number one collegiate miler
in the nation, plus a determined squad of
ECU'S finest, hook up with the N.C.
Cross-country Championship in Raleigh
on Saturday.
Bob and Steve Wheeler of Cuke, Victor
Elk of Pembroke, Jim Wilkins of State and
Gerald Klas and Ed Rigsby of ECU will all
be competing.
And Tony Waldrop, silver medalist in
the 1500 meters in the World University
Games in Moscow, will be there and is
the overwhelming favorite to win the
meet.
ECU Coach Bill Carson believes
Waldrop to be one of the top athletes in
the world.
"Waldrop will go all out to win the
meet. He's the greatest distance runner
ever produced in the state of North
Carolina. He's just a great athlete, and
should easily place in the top ten of the
nationals. Of course, Waldrop's speciality
is the mile. He should be in the outdoor
track season the number one miler in the
U.S
East Carolina goes into the meet after
a big 23-36 victory over Mount St. Mary's
College in Maryland.
Carson said, "They underestimated
us. They had run against Catholic Univ.
the meet before and ran well. But Ed
Rigsby and Gerald Klas ran the second
and third fastest times ever recorded on
their course. The course has 13
steeplechase barriers over it, making for a
slower and more exciting race. The
course record was 25:28 minutes. R;gsby
ran a 26:09 and Klas a 26:16.
Carson has special praise also for
Jerry Hillard, who dropped 1 112 minutes
off last year's time over the same
course. Carson called Hi'lard's perfor-
mance his finest race in college.
At Saturday's meet Carson looks for
Duke Univ. to take the title.
The state meet will attract 19 teams
representing a majority of the state's
colleges. Approximately 150 runners will
compete.
The course that the championship will
be determined on is primarily a speed
course. Coach Carson described the
course as demanding.
"We have four good packed runners,
and Steve Michaels our fifth man ran very
well against Mount St. Mary's last
weekend.
"In 1968 when we won the state meet
the runner who finished first would not
place in the top 15 this year
"We expect to have two runners in the
top 15. I think our third man will be in the
top 20, our fourth in the top 25 and our
fifth man in the top fifty. I'd say our best
chance will be battling Appalachian for
fifth place. I don't see us having a chance
against Duke, Carolina, State or
Pembroke. Though in dual meets I think
we can bet them all
Going into the state meet Carson
summarized the year so far.
"We have had a good year. We upset
two teams (Appalachian and Mount St.
Mary's) who were supposed to beat us. I
thought we made a good showing in the
four way dual meet in Raleigh, we lost but
time wise we ran well. We've set a good
background for the state and conference
meets and the upcoming indoor track
season
The sruprise of the season has been
the performance of Scott Miller, a
freshman from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Carson commented, "I had no idea
when recruiting him he'd be this good. I
didn't know until a pickup game of
basketball at my house in preseason. His
competitive spirit jumped right out, and I
knew right then if he had any talent at all
he'd be a great runner.
Miller was not a great prospect in high
school. Mononucleosis hampered him his
senior year though he won four races and
finsihed second three times. His best two
ile time was a 9:45 which is not
exceptional for high school distance
running.
Miller believed he's improved becadse
of better training and a good mental
outlook.
Miller said, "Running is 75 percent
mental. Anyone can get in shape but the
difference between average and great is
the mental conditioning of believing in
yourself
A championship trophy will be given at
the end of the race, and the top ten
runners will all receive plaques.
Saturday, a senior, two juniors, a
surprising freshman and a freshman
coming off his finest performance of the
season travel to Raleigh to take on a host
of greats. Yet no doubts are evident for
they have been looked past before.

Buc Gridders clash with Tar Heels
Collectively and without a doubt
individually, the "party's over at the East
Carolina footbal complex
There really hasn't been a party, but
the players and coaches do admit it had
been difricult to prepare mentally and
physically for V.M.I The Citadel and
Davidson with North Carolina, William &
Mary and Richmond lurking around the
comer.
"The party's over" expression is no big
deal, really, "head coach Sonny Randle
says. And, Mike Myrick and Greg Troupe,
self-appointed senior spokesmen seem to
agree.
"There never was a party, but after the
mess we had at North Carolina State we
turned ourselves around. We're winners
now, winners in a big way Myrick and
Troupe believe.
"This may sound insignificant
Myrick adds, "but we have our second
winning season in a row. That's quite an
accomplishment
Somewhere along a line stretching
over two years, there must be some
reasons for the Pirates' success. In the
last two seasons, Randle and the Pirates
are 15-3, but the three are N.C. State
twice and North Carolina.
"We're turned around, just like I said
we would Randle believes. "The State
College game could have been a
disaster. But, the players and the
coaches got themselves straightened out
and we've won six in a row
"I don't think we're the same team that
everybody saw at State Myrick says. "I
don't know what was wrong with us, but it
took about four games to really get things
going. Last year, we were young and
everything was such a surprise. This year
there is pressure and nothing is
surprising. Sure, we are now experienced
veterans and all that, but it's a different
feeling being at the top with everybody
shooting at you. Last year, we were
Karat Club wins
two tournaments
The ECU Karate Club has started off
the 1973-74 season in excellent style with
two big wins.
Two weeks ago the club travelled to
Atlanta, Ga. to compete in the second
largest tournament in the United States
and came away with a winning total of 10
trophies.
The club continued its winning ways
by taking first place in the American-
Korean Southern States Championships
held at Fayetteville, N.C.
On December 1st the club will defend
its title here at home while competing in
the 1973 Goju-Shorin Classics in Rose
High Gym.
The ECU Karate Club has been
undefeated in the past six years of
competition. Head instructor Bill Mac-
Donald says, "This year should be the
best ever. We have everyone back from
last year and everyone is working extra
hard to hang onto the championship
title
Echoing out of the Passion Play.
All the old familiar choruses,
climbing and not everybody respected
us
I think things now are a little
different. The next three games will make
things really different. Last year, we
didn't quite know how to approach these
big games. This year, we'll be ready
because we know how to get ready
Troupe, an offensive guard, is the
quiet spokesman on offense. He views
East Carolina's offensive season very
simply:
"We were terrible at North Carolina
State. Then, we finally came around in
the Southern Mississippi game. We only
scored 13 points, but the offense played
well and we found out what we could do
against a huge team. They had some real
studs and by winning, we proved to
ourselvesd that we weren't as bad as the
State score indicated
After that Troupe continues, "the
offense just kept on improving. We put
together a super ground game built
around a bunch of backs and after The
Citadel game, I'd say out passing game is
together. Twelve completions in 14
attempts is pretty good. Really good in
fact
"The biggest thing we've done is show
everybody that we have the physical
ability to move the ball. I love it when we
are running. Coach Van Der Heyden
(offensive line coach) always says
"bruising bodies That's what I keep
thinking about. That and coming off the
ball. We really jump off the ball and the
entire line is proud of what we've done
So, the party is over, if there ever was
one. I guess you could say we're right
down with it in football Myrick
thinks. "Of course, we're talking now
before we play the rest of the
schedule. But, it is something to think
about. We have a good club and we have
been improving. I think everyone sees it
Football from the female side
By PAM SCRUGGS
Staff Writer
The color guard walks impressively to
the center of the field. The crowd stands
for the National Anthem. A wild cheer
goes up at its conclusion - then all watch
pensively as the teams' co-captains go to
the center of the field - to do what, well,
Jane (a fictional person not really knowing
a thing about football) isn't sure. It's here
at the beginning of the game, we pick up
the thoughts, wishes and feelings of the
typical Jane at a typical game
Wonder why they line up like
that? Must be some kind of weird
tradition 'cause they do that everytime
they kick that ball .Hey We've got the
ballOr is that us in the white and
purple or the gold and purple-or is that
gold and black?? Oh, well, must not
be us, Steve didn't yell. Hey, I wonder
who decides who's going to kick off and
who's going to catch Guess visitors get
to catch - politeness and all that .Goo -
that poor guy on the bottom, bet he never
gets us .Now how'd he do that?? Just
bounced right up - I'm sure glad Steve
doesn't play, I don't think I could stand
the suspense of seeing him get
up Hey! We must've done something
right Steve's cheering - yeah, go and all
that rot I'm bored This backless
board we're sitting on is .Oh, this is just
like consuming. Sitting here, just
sitting here .Just like in junior high, just
like high schoolI wish thisgame
would be over at half time so we could
go to the party .This is really getting to
me
Yeah, if you're like alot of girls in the
stands at the games those are your
sentiments exactly. You don't want to ask
but you'd like to at least know something
about what's going on - it's boring when
you don't know. But really once you get
the hang of the basics of football, it isn't
so bad. If you work on it, you might even
enjoy the game alot. So for those of you
with a limited knowledge of football and
those of you who have for some reason
miraculously gone to games and escaped
knowing a thing about the game really
(and I know you're out there) here are
some basic rules that my fellow sports
writer, Dave Englert, and I have
composed
First there are kickoffs - A kickoff is
when one team lines up in a straight line
and kicks off from their 40 yard line to the
other team in receiving formation. The
receiving team tries to advance the ball as
far as they can. A kickoff always occurs
at the start of the second half and after
either team scores a touchdown or a field
goal.
Then there are penalties. A penalty
tmmmmmjm
occurs when the referee sees either
team break a rule. They signify this by
dropping a red and white "flag" on the
ground (so that is what they throw up in
the air). Frequent penalties include
offside, signaled by the referee placing
his hands on his hips; holding, signaled
by grasping a wrist with opposing hand;
and interference, signaled by a pushing
motion with both hands.
Downs are next in importance in
understanding the game. When a team
has the ball, it has four chances, or
downs to advance the ball ten yards. If
' the team gets the ten yards with more on
either the first, second, third or fourth try,
it is rewarded with four more downs to
advance the next ten yards.
Now for points. Points are scored on
touchdowns, extra points, field goals, and
safety. A touchdown is worth six points
and is scored by running the ball or
catching a pass over the goal line; extra
points are worth one point for kicking it
and two points for running or passing
over the line. An extra point attempt
always follows a touchdown. A field goal
is worth three points and is scored by
kicking the ball between the uprights of
the goal post. A safety, worth two points,
is scored when a defensive team member
tackles an offensive team member in his
own end zone.
So there are the basics - I hope you
aren't too confused now. Anyway maybe
these will help you understand the game a
little better. So girls, get out there and
cheer and this time know why!
Club bombs Rock Hill, 54-0
The ECU club football team utilized a
stingy defense and a prolific offensive
outburst to stymie the Rock Hill Bulldogs
in a game played at Rock Hill, S.C.
Saturday evening.The bucs won 54-0.
The Pirates seemed to score at will
and garnered a 32-0 halftime lead. The
defense held the Rock Hill clubbers at bay
the entire evening and the Bulldogs'
deepest penetration was to the Buc 30
yard line.
The Pirates scored quickly after taking
the opening kickoff as Rick McKay swept
right end on his way to a 63 yard
touchdown romp. After the Pirates
recovered a fumble, quarterback San
Durrance ran for a five yard score.
Swimmers shelved
A majority of the swimming team was
suspended for two weeks last Wednesday
for breaking training rules.
Coach Ray Scharf said, "They were
suspended for breaking training rules. To
be a swimmer takes a great deal of
sacrifice. My only concern is to have
men with character, integrity and the will
to sacrifice to represent the ECU
swimming team
Swimmers go through a rigorous
training schedule. They train in the
morning and the afternoon and cover
between 6000 and 12,000 yards of
swimming daily. Total practice time is
about five hours each day which also
includes a great deal of weightlifting.
At the present only 8 swimmers and
one diver are working out with the team.
The suspended team members will be
allowed to practice with the team starting
Monday.
As the second quarter began the Bucs
still maintained their scoring punch. Glen
"Batman" Batten took a Denny Lynch
pass and raced 45 yards to the Bulldog
11. McKay then scored his second
touchdown of the evening as he went off
tackle and into the end zone. McKay ran
for 153 yards on 16 carries.
Jim Wade widened the lead with a 65
yard touchdown reception from Lynch as
Wade sprinted beyond the Bulldog
defenders.
Terry Ramos got the second half
scoring parade started as he raced to a 27
yard touchdown on a sweep play.
"Batman" set up the next scoring
opportunity with a 25 yard reception from
Lynch down to the Rock Hill 15. Wade
was once again on the receiving end of a
Lynch T.D. pass of 15 yards.
Wade then rounded out the Pirate
scoring as he made a diving catch of a
Lynch pass of 54 yards. Durrance, McKay
and Ramos piled up 274 yards rushing,
and Lynch hit on 16 of 24 passes for 264
yards and 3 scores.
The defensive front four led by Phil
Platania, John McMillan, Bronco Bender
and Bobby Tougee sacked the Rock Hill
quarterback 11 times and stifled their
running attack. John "Yank" Pew, John
Masotti, Chuch Maxwell and Mike Weirick
each had pass interceptions in leading the
defense.
The offensive line led by Neil
Peterson, Chip Chumley and Les Miller
opened large holes in the Bulldog line and
played superbly on the evening.
Hopefully the club will maintain their
punch as they host UNC-C this Sunday at
2 p.m. on the Minges practice field.
