Faculty cutbacks
are imminent
By MIKE PARSONS
Special to the Fountainhead
The decrease in enrollment at ECU has
brought reports of impending faculty
reductions of ten per cent.
"The budget now up for approval for
ECU operating expenses does have a
reduction in the number of faculty
provided for acknowledged Dr. John
Howell, ECU provost. However, different
recruitment tactics are hoped to bring the
enrollment back to the level which will not
necessitate cutting the number of faculty,
he added.
Looking at each application for
admission on its own merits, rather than a
preset norm, is one of the plans being
discussed. The national examinations are
not felt to be perfectly reliable in some
cases and the feeling is that students
"within shooting range" of the previous
standards should have more of a chance.
A plan to form an experimental class
of students without the qualifications, but
who have a strong desire to attend college
is also being implemented. The program
will provide classes designed to bring
these students up to the normal level of
incoming freshmen so that they will be
able to continue their educations towards
a four year degree after the first year.
Dr. Howell emphasized that such a
program will have no effect on regular
students in regards to lowering existing
standards as the special student will not
be in regular classes until he has
progressed to that level.
Departments who have been notified
of a possible reduction in faculty have
been encouraged to increase recruitment
efforts. Should the reduction prove
necessary in spite of contrary efforts, the
departments who have had decreases in
enrollment will be the ones from where
the excesses are cut.
The cuts will probably come from
acuity who have been here only one to

WITH THE llvihw. 4G ENERGY CRISIS, could ECU go
back to using coal for heating? The present shortage of oil and
natural gas has led to the call for development of alternate
two years explained Dr. Howell. He
explained that once a faculty member is
granted tenure, courts of law tend to look
on a "former gentleman's agreement" as a
legal contract without expiration except in
very specific cases. These cases involve
proving without a doubt incompetence,
gross immorality and inefficiency.
If a tenured faculty member were
dismissed in favor of a non-tenured
,nember, he could take it to court and win
judgement against the university.
Dr. Howell emphasized that the cuts
are "considered only temporary" since he
hopes that if projected estimates hold
true, no action will be required towards
the reduction.
Dr. Howell attributed the decrease in
enrollment to the raising of out-of-state
tuition and probability that colleges in the
UNC system have become more
competitive for the in-state student. He
added that he hoped expected increases
would suffice to merely change the
requested budget and thereby eliminate
the necessity of reducing the number of
faculty.
energy sources such as'coal. Coal, however, has almost been
forgotten as a major energy source because it is such a heavy
and dangerous pollutant.
Legal technicalities of renting:
'landlords cannot discriminate'
Editor's Note: This is the second article
in a four part series concerning housing in
Greenville.
By ED HERRING
Special to the Fountainhead
What laws regulate the eviction of
tenants? Can a landlord discriminate in
renting? How responsible is the landlord
for accidents on the rental property?
Few students understand the legalities
involved in renting off-campus housing.
Fred Mattox, an attorney who rents
housing to students, was asked to clarify
some of the legal technicalities of renting.
Can a landlord discriminate in renting?
"A landlord cannct discriminate on the
grounds of race, creed or national origin
Mattox said. "Besides these restrictions,
a landlord can legally rent to anyone he
Bodenhamer signs Pub Board Bill
By DARRELL WILLIAMS
News Editor
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer
signed a bill on Tuesday, December 4th
making valid a disputed bill involving the
appropriation of $87,000 to the ECU
Publications Board. Bodenhamer had
previously ruled the bill invalid because
he had not signed it. Other SGA officials
refuted this claiming that his signature on
the bill was not necessary, that the bill
was effective ten days after Bodenhamer
received the bill unless he decided to veto
it.
In signing the bill, Bodenhamer made
the following statement:
I am signing this bill, Appropriations
to the Publications Board of East Carolina
University, LB 2-1 for the amount of
$87,000.00, not because of pressure
exerted by any body of students at this
university, but because a failure to sign
this bill would create undue hardship
upon the student body as a whole. I hope
that we have all learned a lesson from this
am i i mt�
incident. I firmly believe that together we
can make this the best university in North
Carolina, if not the United States. I hope
we all can put our prejudices aside and
work toward this goal.

counting
Even after the bill was made valid by
Bodenhamer, there was still the question
of the constitutionality of Article IV,
Section 1, Sub-Section C, Number 3 of
the SGA constitution which states that
the president has the power to veto acts
of the Legislature provided that he shall
exercise such power within ten days of
receiving the bill. It is possible that this
mm
question will soon go before the Review
Board for a final interpretation.
"There are still many loop holes in the
constitution according to SGA Attorney
General Tom Clare, "concerning whether
bills go into effect after the legislature
passes it, after the SGA President signs
it, or ten days after the SGA President has
received the bill but has not acted upon
it. It's hard to say when the ten day
period begins Clare stated that at the
present he decides what date the bills
take effect. "However, I feel assured that
whatever decision I make at the present
will be appealed to the Reviews Board by
Bodenhamer or Braxton Hall, Speaker of
the Legislature
The December 4th edition of
Fountainhead was printed using ad
revenues or receivables because all SGA
funds had been "frozen" with the dispute
over the bill by SGA officials. Boderv
hamer's signature on the bill now
validates the bill, thus Fountainhead will
resume its publication using student
funds allocated it by the Publications
Board.

pleases. It is not illegal to rent only to
married, females, males or grad students
for example
What laws regulate the evictions of
tenants?
"North Carolina GS 42-14 regulates
eviction said Mattox. "If the lease is
written, the landlord must show where the
lease has been broken. If the lease is not
written, no reason is needed to be given.
"If the tenant rents on a week to week
basis, the landlord must give two days
notice before evicting the tenant If the
tenant rents on a month to month asis, a
seven day notice is required before
eviction
"If the tenant rents on a year's lease, a
30 day or one month notice is required
"All of these notice periods must be
given at the appropriate times. If, for
example, a tenant is renting on a month
to month basis or under a year's lease,
the landlord cannot evict the tenant on the
28th of the month. The tenant could
therfore stay another month. If the tenant
leaves before the lease expires, he must
pay for the remainder of the rent on the
lease
How responsible is the landlord for
accidents on the rental property?
"A landlord is not liable for accidents
to tenant or any of his guests unless the
tenant can show latent or hidden
defects he said. "The tenant must show
that the landlord knew of the defects and
did not tell the tenant. If a defect is
visible to the eye, the landlord is under no
legal responsibility
"Accidents can occur if landlords do
not make needed repairs Mattox
said. "A tenant can sue for breech of
contract if repairs are not made
What laws govern damaging rental
property?
"Under North Carolian GS 42-11, it is a
misdemeanor to willfully damage or
destroy rental property the attorney
said.
What is the law on paying of rent?

Basic Grants
Students still have time to apply for
some of the $122.1 million that is
available in the Basic Educational
Opportunity Grants program for the
1973-74 school year.
Basic Grants, which are funded by the
U.S. Office of Education, are available to
first-time students who began their
post-high school education or training
after July 1, 1973, on a full-time
basis. These grants can be used at any
eligible institution including regular
colleges, universities, community or
junior colleges, vocational or technical
schools, and hospital schools of nursing
- both private and public, profit and
non-profit.
Grants are based on a formula which
takes into account the cost of tuition,
fees, room, board, books, supplies and
incidental expenses, and the amount the
student and his or her family can
contribute. The formula is applied
consistently to all students throughout
the country for the 1973-74 academic
year. Awards range from $50 to a
maximum of $452 for each eligible
student.
John Ottina, U.S. Commissioner of
Education, said, "Money that students
receive under this program is free and
clear; it is not a loan that has to be paid
back
Students may obtain an application
form for a Basic Grant through their
financial aid officer or guidance
counselor, or by writing to Box G, Iowa

Kohoutek comet Print show
Luncheon
The Morehead Planetarium is present-
ing a special show on the Comet
Kohoutek (pronounced Ko-hoo-tek) now
through December 23rd. The program was
offered in pilot form four times over the
Thanksgiving holiday and attracted 644
patrons. The 30 minute "Comet Special"
follows each public presentation only of
the regularly scheduled program "Star of
Bethlehem except the 2 p.m. on
Sundays.
The comet show delves into the origin
of Kohoutek and, through the versatility
of the Planetarium facility, demonstrates
how and where the comet will appear at
various stages to the naked-eye observer.
Reduced admission to the comet show
only is 75 cents for all patrons regardless
of age. Kohoutek should be a "great
comet" because it is expected to be large,
bright and spectacular without the aid of
optical equipment. Most comets are seen
only as tiny, dim, fuzzy objects.
Comets are usually named for the
person who discovers them. Lubos
Kohoutek, a Chechoslovakian astronomer,
first saw Kohoutek in March of this year
at the Hamburg Observatory.
Like any comet Kohoutek's head
consists of frozen gases, rock and dust
and metal fragments. But unlike most, its
head is very large, and Kohoutek's tail
should stretch one-sixth of the way
across January skies
It can be seen in the pre-dawn skies
until Dec. 25th, and in the evening skies
after January first. Scientists say the
comet may not pass this way again for
about 75 thousand years.
Appointment
Dr. John R. Ball, chairman of the ECU
Department of Social Work and
Correctional Services, has been appointed

Ball will assist in advising Secretary
Flaherty's office on matters of child
advocacy. He will serve a term of three
years.
Dr. Ball has been active in child
advocacy affairs for a number of years and
has served on other advisory and
technical consulting committees to the
Governor's Commission on Child
Advocacy.
Prints by former students in the ECU
School of Art and by recipients of the
Alexander Parker Memorial Scholarships
will be on display in ECU'S Kate Lewis
Gallery through Christmas.
About one half of the prints in the
show are the work of several winners of
the Parker Scholarship, which was

Bluegrass festival heads for G'ville
By BETSY FERNANDEZ
Assistant News Editor
Eastern North Carolina's first indoor
bluegrass festival will be held this
Saturday, December 8, from 1 p.m. to 1
a.m. at the Attic, downtown Greenville.
Pickin' and singin' for your

Greenville, the Fisher River Boys,
featuring Melvin Slayton on the fiddle,
from Mt. Airy and the Bluegrass
Experience, 1972 Union Grove Bluegrass
Festival Champions, from Siler City. The
Greengrass Cloggers will also be there
with a demonstration of their clogging
talent and precision.
Dr. Mike O'Connor, ECU geology
professor and member of the Flat land

In speaking of the performing bands
O'Connor said, "There will be something
for everybody. The Bluegrass Experience
won the championship at Union Grove in
1972. They're a professional group - one
of the best. The Fisher River Boys are an
old-time string and bluegrass band with
the explosive and emotional fiddle playing
of Melvin Slayton. Hobucken is a
contemporary bluegrass band. They are a
versatile group and can play almost

The fourth band, of which OConnor is
a member, is the Flatland Family
Band. The band which is made up of
OConnor, Stan Riggs, Bill Joyner, Skeet
Creekmore, Carolyn Creekmore and Linda
OConnor, is a local group that has been
performing throughout eastern North

Beer is good for you'
Study says'one can live on beer and peanuts'
(CPS)-The next time someone hassles
you about spending too much time in the
local pub shoot this back at them.
Just tell them that a bar is probably
one of the healthiest places for someone
to eat.
Or at least Dr. H. Ira Fritz thinks
so. Fritz, Wright State University's (WSU)
resident nutritionist, said a person might
be able to live on beer and peanuts if one
is inclined toward that sort of thing.
"Beer is very nutritious he said,
"especially if you brew it yourself, but
that's illegal He says beer (the draft
kind) has growing yeast in it, which is one
of the supplements for people suffering
malnutrition.
"Yeast has protein, and beer has what
we call 'good fat and the vitamin content
is out of sight, right at the top fe the
chart.
"Beer is a good way for you to get
nutrition if you don't haee to worry about
calorie intake or getting too smashed to
study Fritz says.
Beer also has another disadvantage.
It's an expensive way to get nutrition.
Fritz says a student who has limited
money to spend on food each week
should weigh four considerations when
buying food-price, convenience, nutrition
and variety.
All four, Fritz says, interact with each
other to determine how much a person
spends on food. "If you're not willing to
spend money (on food) he said, "you
have to spend time (preparing meals)
That's why someone with a limited
income should buy unprocessed food in
as large quantities as possible. Fritz
says. Also the shoppers watching their
money should scan the grocery store ads
for 'loss-leaders' and mate a shopping list
and stick to it when buying groceries to
save money.
Still, if a student is just a few bucks
away from the relief rolls, Frttz says.
AH! BEER, that golden marvel of icy cold relief. And, it not only iBf.eahes but
restores as well. Full of vitamins, protein, and "good fat beer rates High in
nutrition. So if you like beer, go ahead, have another one, or two, or three .Ah!
there's the bare bones, no-frill diet of
skim milk and wliot potatoes.
"An adult can live on that he said
(but) "I don't think anyone can live that
way. I couldn't live that way .eating is
fun
f-ntz says skim milk is a good
cornerstone for a student who wants to
eat cheaply and nutritiously. Skim milk
with some work can be turned into things
like yogurt and cottage cheese. If one
gets tired of whole potatoes, enriched rice
and any kind of beans will fill in nicely for
spuds.
One has to be sure that it's whole'
potatoes and enriched rice, Fritz
said. Processed rice and mashed
potatoes will "just get you full without
providing much nutrition
Students with a little more money to
spend should buy eggs, cheese and fish
for good nutrition, according to Fritz.
But if a student wants meat, Fritz says
chicken is the best combination of being
cheap and nutritious. Pork and beef are
very expensive ways of getting protein
unless one goes out to a steak house one
of their family nights.
A student watching his money
carefully should always brown bag his
lunch to school. "You'll get a more
nutritious lunch, and it's cheaper" he
stated.
And when eating that lunch, one
shouldn't buy soft drinks, since, Fritz
says, they have absolutely no nutritional
value. The same goes for coffee and tea,
which when drunk straight have no
calories either.
If one gets the munchies during the
day, he should buy things like sunflower,
pumpkin or soybean seeds or peanuts
which are cheap and very good
nutritionally.
"Fruit and vegetables are good
though one has to be careful not to buy
things like celery which actually have
"negative calories And if one is into
organic fruits and vegetables, Fritz says
the only way a person on a limited budget
can afford them is to grow them himself.
A person who is still worried about
getting all the vitamins and minerals one
should have and is thinking about shelling
out a dollar for vitamins, shouldn't. He
says a person more than likely is getting
all the vitamins he needs in his food. And
since the body gets rid of excess amounts
of vitamins, Fritz says the only think
viamins will give someone is "awfully
expensive urine

Hold onto your jeans
BLUE JEANS, the "outfit of the 70's" may
be in short supply soon due to the smaller
1972 cotton harvest.
by CAROL WOOD
Staff Writer
What are vou wearing? - why blue
jeans of course!
Blue clad torsos seen everywhere,
from the classroom to parties may not be
such a common sight in the near
future. The reason?a shortage of
cotton.
The Fall-72 cotton harvest was
approximately 2 million bales less than
the previous year. Heavy rains flooded
the cotton producing Mississippi delta,
and severely damaged the crop.
July cotton prices hit their highest
level since the Civil War.
Textile mills can't keep up with the
ever growing demand for jeans, even if
they could get as much cotton as they
need.
Why are blue jeans so popular -
certainly not because they are a new
technological development!
One of the oldest companies in the
business, Levi Strauss, introduced their
first denim overalls to Gold Rush miners
in 1850.
Levi Strauss Company recently
announced they are making strides toward
almost total automation. By 1978, the
company hopes to increase production 50
per cent, and double its sales to one
billion dollars.
American Fabrics and Fashions stated
that over 400 million yards of denim are
sold annually.
The Strauss Company alone produced
over 100 million pairs of jeans in 1972,
says Business Week, yet stores still can't
seem to keep them in stock.
What is it about blue jeans that has
such universal appeal? Perhaps blue
jeans are a statement of the 70's. Only in
the 70's do you find people actually
wanting to look alike.
Only a few years ago, if someone
walked into the room with "your outfit"
on, icy daggers shot forth from your eyes,
piercing to the very soul of the culprit!
Today, practically everyone wears
demin jeans and it is considered the
height of youthful fashion.
To be really "in" your jeans have to
look well-worn. New blue jeans are
simply not Kosher!
To solve this problem, department
stores are selling well worn blue jeans for
approximately $6 to $7 more than the
price of new jeans.
Often times these jeans are discarded
blue jeans that have been recycled. That
is they have been washed, a finish added,
and a high price tag attached.
The main problem with these is that
once washed, the finish is removed, and
the customer is stuck with a really worn
out pair of limp jeans.
A solution that a few ingenious souls
have tried, is to hire someone to wear-out
the jeans for you.
Think about it, you'd be helping the
unemployment rate tremendously!
Not only is denim used for jeans, but
also for pocket books, shoes, back-packs,
shoulder totes, skirts, notebook covers
and almost everything imaginable.
Perhaps this denim-westem look is
directly related to the bicentennial in
1976. The upcoming bicentennial is a
period when people tend to reminisce on
the simpler, freer style of lifehence
blue jeans.
Fad or fashion, jeans seem to have
become a part of the American way of life.

A solution
The issue of public transit in Greenville is a pertinent one at this
time. Fountainhead supports the formation of a public transit system on two grounds -
first, growth, and second, practicality.
Greenville can never expect to become more than a caricature of an Eastern North
Carolina town unless it follows industrial and commercial growth with transportation in
order to reach commercial centers. Persons living far from major shopping areas must
either drive (and use gas), walk or ride bicycles in order to leave the sticks .or in order
to leave the downtown area, as the case may be. -Those persons without cars generally
give up in advance, thereby depnving a) themselves of conveniences and possible
shopping advantages, and b) Greenville merchants of increased sales.
Second, a bus system would be highly practical in a time of gasoline shortages. A
public transit system would pull Greenville residents out of the necessity of driving
automobiles in order to survive. If the university recognizes the need for a student
transportation system, surely Greenville can approve one for its larger community.
Follow-up
The SGA fund freeze is over, five days after it began. Fountainhead received a copy
of SGA President Bill Bodenhamer's letter stating that he would sign the Pub Board
appropriations bill.
Buried in the letter is a line expressing hope that we have all learned a lesson from
this incident. Fountainhead has learned something; we wonder if Mr. Bodenhamer
has. We've learned that the SGA President can cut off student services and
publications at will, and that the SGA Legislature's wishes mean nothing to him. We've
learned that student-funded organizations exist insecurely on the SGA President's
interpretation of law. We have learned that unless we act in accord with Mr.
Bodenhamer's wishes, we are in danger of having our rightful funds rescinded. We
have learned that anyone not agreeing with the SGA President becomes the equivalent
of a non-person:witness Mr. Bodenhamer's refusal to recognize Bob McKeel as Pub
Board chairman despite MCKeei s election to that office, we nave grown accustomea
to Mr. Bodenhamer's charges of "conspiracy we have learned something about an
SGA President who, faced with opposition, magnifies a crisis.
Fountainhead has learned from this incident. We wonder what the Publications
Board, attentive students, and the SGA Legislature have learned. And we hope the
education will be put to intelligent use.

FRANKLY SPEAKING by phil frank
Plumber probe blocked,
energy crisis shifts power
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON In the name of
national security, President Nixon has
done his best to block an investigation of
the White House parapolice unit known as
the plumbers.
White House aides have now told the
Watergate prosecutors, in strictest
confidence, the reason the President
doesn't want the plumbers investigated.
It might expose the fact that the Central
Intelligence Agency has been bugging
Kremlin leaders.
This is no secret to the Kremlin
leaders. The CIA transcripts of their
private conversations reveal that they are
aware the CIA has been eavesdropping on
them.
It is also no secret to millions of
Americans. I felt that anything the
Kremlin leaders knew was safe for the
American people to be told. So I reported
on September 16, 1971, that the CIA had
been able to eavesdrop on Kremlin
conversations.
The secret transcripts reveal that
Soviet leaders like to gossip about one
another and complain about their
ailments. It is evident from their
conversations that Leonid Brezhnev, the
party chief, sometimes drinks too much
vodka and suffers from hangovers. The
complaints of Premier Alexei Kosygin,
who is in poor health, are more authentic.
One of their favorite pastimes is
visiting a private clinic near the Kremlin
for steam baths, rubdowns and other
physical therapy. None of this is very
secret. Only the CIA's eavesdropping
technique may be secret. Presumably,
the plumbers can be investigated without
revealing this.
Too Little, Too Late: President Nixon
has been ignoring advisors who have
warned urgently that he is doing too little,
too late about the oil crisis. They are
distressed over his eagerness to seize
upon the most optimistic estimates.
He accepted the estimate, for
example, that our daily shortage is only
1.4 million barrels. Most experts agree
that the shortage is at least two million
barrels a day. They expect this to nearly
double by next spring.
The most persistent critic of the
President's overoptimism has been
Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz,
who has carefully confined his warnings
to the privacy of the White House. But he
has told the President bluntly that the oil
shortage will bring a severe recession,
perhaps even a depression, if we don't
end the Saudi Arabian boycott.
He has predicted the shortage will
reach 30 per cent of our normal
consumption. This will force plant
shutdowns, layoffs and other economic
dislocations, he has warned, that will
double the nations' unemployment by the
end of next year. If the oil shortage
continues, he told the President to expect
massive unemployment running as high
as 12 percent by 1976.
The President must choose, in Shultz'
opinion, between private and industrial
needs. All the President's political
instincts call for giving priority to home
heating and pleasure dirving. But in the
end, Shultz has warned, Americans will
be better off suffering from the cold than
losina their jobs.
m
Power Shift: The energy crisis will
mean more to Americans than just
lowering our thermostats and slowing
down our cars.
State Department planners are now
quietly warning that the energy crisis may
cause a vast shift in the world's power
structure. The oil-rich nations, they fear,
may replace the United States as the
world's dominant economic force.
The Arabs demonstrated their new
power by cutting back on the flow of
black gold to the West. Even if peace
comes to Middle East, it won't necessarily
mean an end to the oil extortion. The
worldwide response to the oil embargo
taught the Arabs that they could gain
enormous political and economic profits
by using oil as a weapon.
To fight the continuing oil blackmail,
U.S. policy-makers are examining
possible countermeasures. A military
takeover of the Arab oil fields is
considered impractical. Secret studies
show that the oil wells, pipelines and
tankers are far too vulnerable to sabotage
and interdiction.
But military force could be used to
impose a counterembargo on the Arab oil
states. The Arab nations need agricultural
and manufactured goods as much as the
West needs oil. A total sea and air
blockade would be difficult, but possible,
for the United States to impose. A
counter embargo is unlikely, however,
unless the situation becomes desperate.
The National Security Council has
decided that the best strategy is simple,
quiet, diplomatic negotiation.
Ford's Future: Vice Presidential
nominee Gerald Ford has promised not to
use the vice presidency as a springboard
for the White House. But behind the
scenes, Ford has been huddling with
Republican leaders aboui his political
future.
They have told him that he is their best
hope to avert a Republican debacle next
year. The Watergate scandals, they fear,
have damaged President Nixon beyong
political repair. The President has
become such a political albatross that
they hope to keep his name out of the
1974 campaign.
Republican leaders have told Ford,
therefore, that they would like to make
him rather than Nixon, the front man for
the party. He has an open, honest quality
that they believe will help restore the faith
of the voters in the Republican
party. Their strategy will be to feature
Ford and to stress his homey
virtues. They think he will inspire trust to
counteract President Nixon's abuse of the
public trust.
Ford has agreed to lead the
Republican crusade in 1974. There's only
one hitch. He has always been a Nixon
man. The President places a high
premium on loyalty and expects Ford to
defend him. But the more Ford defends
Nixon, the more Ford will smear himself
with the Watergate taint.
As the 1974 elections get closer, I
predict, Ford will talk more about the
Republican candidates and less about the
President. This will build strong support
for his own presidential candidacy. By
1976, I predict, Gerald Ford will be the
strongest Republican contender.

FOUNTAINHEAD reserves the right to

To Fountainhead:
If nothing else has been brought to
light in the recent dispute among SGA
officials over a bill involving the
appropriation of money to the ECUPublic-
ations Board, it can be seen that there is a
major flaw in the student government
student newspaper relationship; a flaw
that suggests that someday these
organizations ought to be treated as
separate entities
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer's
declaration that the Pub Board Bill was
illegal had a crippling effect on the
student newspaper FOUNTAINHEAD
because it "froze" all of the funds needed
for continued operation except for ad
revenues which came in after his
declaration and ad "receivables" which
were only "promissory notes" to the
publisher.
Since no student funds could be used
for publication of the student newspaper
because of this political dispute among
SGA officials, FOUNTAINHEAD had very
limited alternatives to continue public-
ation. Ad revenues which it had earned
was one, but when this money was called
for, it was found that they had been
"mixed in" with student funds and were
therefore "frozen" too. This left only two
other alternatives; ad receivables could be
used (if the publisher consented) or
FOUNTAINHEAD could discontinue
publication. Fortunately, publication was
allowed to continue based upon ad
receivables, but this was indeed treading
on very thin ice.
I feel that this "entanglement" of
student government politics should not
undermine the operation of the student
newspaper and its freedom to serve the
students and surrounding community of
East Carolina University.
Although it seems understandable that
the SGA should handle student money,
there should be some type of check
against this infringement on the freedom
and operation of the student newspaper
which has occured in the recent
situation. I suggest, for a start, that the
ad revenues which are earned by
FOUNTAINHEAD be placed in an account
separate from other student funds so that
if another such situation arises, the
student newspaper would have a cushion
upon which to prevent that "subtle
censorship" which occurred with the
political "tying-up" of newspaper
operation funds.
Sincerelv vours.

Disagreement
To Fountainhead:
I read with considerable interest the
m
article on Marijuana, a copy of which is
enclosed. I happen to be one of those
who have little confidence in the
particular report mentioned in this article.
As I am sure you know, it is very eary
to find someone who can scientifically
validate a differing opinion from the
majority, which is also
by seemingly indisputable
research
supported
evidence.
Despite your personal views or my
own, I feel your readers should have the
opportunity to consider both sides of the
question. I am enclosing copy of an
article which you may find interesting,
and it would appear to have rather
substantial medical research supporting a
different view.
I hope you will print this in your next
issue of Fountainhead.
Sincerely,
M.W. Aldridoe. DDS

MARIJUANA AND
Compatible?
SUCCESS�Are They
By Ray Wolf
There is an increasingly loud and
persuasive voice in the nation today
advocating the legalization of marijuana.
And by no means does it come only from
youth, or those already dedicated to the
use of pot. In November of last year,
Consumer Union, the product-testing
organization, shocked a lot of people by
coming out strongly for complete
legalization of the drug. "It's too late to
debate the issue C.U. said. "Marijuana
is here to stay. No conceivable
law-enforcement program can curb its
availability
In that respect, they are right. The
legal battle against marijuana has proven
to be a complete flop, and enormously
expensive as well. At this point, we can
predict with some certainty that within a
few years, the laws against marijuana, if
not completely dropped, will be relaxed to
the point of legalizing its use by adults.
The latent catastrophe is legalization
is that people will interpret it to mean that
marijuana use is safe. In fact, millions
who have been reading and hearing about
the "safety" and "non-addicting" qualities
of the drug have already taken this as
their cue to light up with an easy
conscience.
The fact is that legal or illegal,
marijuana use is exceedingly dangerous.
A recent study makes it clear, perhaps for
the first, that severe personality changes
and even physical brain damage can result
from its use. At this point,with the
possibility of imminent legalization, it's
especially important for each of us to
become aware of the risks. Soon, the
only barrier standing between the drug
and ourselves, and our children, may be
our own intelligence.
Harold Kolansky and William T. Moore
know only too well that the problem of
marijuana will not be solved by simply
legalizing it. Kolansky and Moore are
doctors from the Department of
Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania,
and the Institute of the Philadelphia
Association for Psychoanalysis. In the
October 2, 1972 Journal of the American
Medical Association, they describe 13
case studies of adult patients who came
to them for help, which demonstrate
some of the effects of long-term
marijuana use. An earlier study dealt with
38 adolescents.
Kolansky and Moore write: "After
seven years of clinical observation, we
have become concerned that marijuana
and hashish use adversely affects cerebral
mmmm
m
mm
mmmm
m
m
functioning on a bio-chemical basis. In
the mildest cases there appears to be a
temporary toxic reaction when small
amounts of cannabis (marijuana) are
consumed over a short period of
time. However, in those individuals who
demonstrate stereotyped symptomatology
after prolonged and intensive cannabis
use, the possibility of structural changes
in the cerebral cortex must be raised In
other words, they suspect physical brain
damage.
Obviously, Kolansky and Moore are no
strangers to the subject - or the
symptoms - or marijuana use. They had
previously reported on the clinical effects
of marijuana on adolescents and young
adults to the National Commission of
Marijuana and Drug Abuse on May 17,
1972, emphasizing the "deleterious
effects of cannabis use on the
development of the adolescent person-
ality
In this report, they wrote, "Contrary to
what is frequently reported, we have
found the effects of marijuana to be not
merely that of a mild intoxicant which
causes a slight exaggeration of usual
adolescent behavior, but a specific, and
separate clinical syndrome unlike any
variation of the abnormal manifestations
of adolescence .Regardless of the
underlying psychological difficulty, men-
tal changes - hallmarked by disturbed
awareness of the self, apathy, confusion
and poor reality testing - will occur in an
individual who smokes marijuana on a
regular basis whether he is a normal
adolescent, an adolescent in conflict or a
severely neurotic individual
Some people agree that marijuana
should be kept from adolescents, but
argue that it can do no harm to the mature
adult.
Not according to the findings of
Kolansky and Moore. On the contrary,
they report, "To date we have not seer
any difference in the symptomatology ol
the adult marijuana-hashish smokers we
examined from that seen in adolescents
Their study of 13 adults who smoked
marijuana from 3-10 times a week for
anywhere from 16 months to 6 years
revealed symptoms that started and
vanished as marijuana use was begun and
withdrawn. The authors add that their
findings "seemed to indicate that
persistent and intensive marijuana or
hashish smoking may affect the cerebral
functioning of any individual biochemi-
cally in much the same way regardless of
age or phychological maturity
The symptoms that Kolansky and
Moore noted in the adults (between the
ages of 20 and 41 years) they studies,
were mental and physical apathy and
sluggishness, lack of interest in
appearance, and the semblance of
calmness which gave way to explosive
anger if the marijuana supply was
threatened, or the subject's drug taking
"philosophy" questioned. Additionally,
the patients were thin, appeared older
than they really were, and their activity
was "slow Frequently complaints were
made regarding headaches, tiredness,
dozing off during the day and insomnia at
night.
"BEHAVIOR STRANGELY TWISTED
But the most striking effect of
regular marijuana use was in turning the
lives of the users inside out, to the point
that they did not even recognize
themselves - until they stopped smoking
marijuana.
One of the 13 persons who underwent
such a transformation was a vivacious and
emotionally stable 35-year old mother of
two children. Her natural enthusiasm for
children and her interest in community
affairs led her to teach adolescents in a
community youth organization during her
peare time. It was while taachina that she
mm
m
Gradually, she became more oriented
toward the lifestyle of the adolescents
around her, mimicking them in dress,
language and ideals. At the same time,
she lost interest in her own family, and
was more concerned with being "young"
than anything else. Apparently to
convince herself that she was really "with
it she joined any protest march that
came along, regardless of the cause,
sometimes marching on behalf of groups
with diametrically opposed goals.
She soon became defensive about her
activities, and insulted anyone, including
her best friends and members of her
family, who questioned her erratic
behavior. With the exception of her
"suppliers even the very adolescents
whom she had been aping for almost two
years began avoiding her, for she had now
become rude and reclusive.
When she at last sought psychiatric
help, she showed "apathy, mental
confusion, forgetfulness, feelings�of�
depersonalization, and impairment of
memory especially for more recent
events .Frequently she would sit for
long periods of time remaining detached
or immobile especially when she had
smoked more than once that day
She soon realized that her "innocent"
habit was not really that easy to give up,
despite all the propanganda to the
contrary. When she tried to stop, she
became depressed and developed
headaches that could not be relieved by
aspirin. Only when she developed
hepatitis and had to be hospitalized for
several weeks, and was thus cut off from
her supply was she able to shake the
habit and relumjo her old self aaairv
Dr. A.M.G. Campbell of the
Department of Neurology at Britain's
Bristol United Hospital, along with three
colleagues, reported in the medical
journal Lancet (Dec. 4,1971) that evidence
of cerebral atrophy - the death of brain
cells - was clearly demonstrated by a
process known as air encephalography in
10 patients with histories of consistent
marijuana smoking over a period of from
3-11 years. The technique used by the
doctors measured the size of certain
spaces dividing the two hemispheres of
the brain. X-rays of the marijuana
smokers were compared to those taken of
non-smokers, and showed a very distinct
difference in the size of these spaces,
indicating that the brains of the smokers
had actually shriveled!
Someof the marijuana smokers had
also taken amphetamines and LSD, but
the doctors say that "although
amphetamines and LSD may have an
added effect, they are rapidly metabolized
and excreted and would not seem likely to
have the cumulative effect on nervous
tissue as that of the fat-soluble
components of cannabis. We feel that our
results suggest that regular use of
cannabis produces cerebral atrophy in
young adults
They add: "It must be stressed that
cerebral atrophy indicates irreversible
brain damage
If and when marijuana is legalized - or
even if it isn't - that last sentence would
seem to be well worth remembering.

Schmaltz Und Genutiichkeit
By DONALD LAWLER
Contributing Faculty Writer
A touch of old Vienna in Greenville? If
you were at Wright Auditorium last night
with a few hunded other sentimentalists,
that is exactly what the Vienna Johann
Strauss Orchestra provided. If it wasn't
exactly Ormandy and the Philadelphia, the
Strauss Orchestra directed by Walter
Goldschmidt offered up a satisfying bill of
fare, prepared carefully to satisfy the
musical palate of the American
provinces. Most of the old favorites were
served up with all the schmaltz and
genutiichkeit it was possible for an
indifferent and probably bone-tired
orchestra to muster. Instead of the
expected romanticism, the contingent
from unter den Linden seemed content at
first to offer a somewhat dispiritedly
mechanical anthology of the obvious
Strauss program pieces. Somewhere,
through the second half of the program,
however, I began to see that the
ambiguities in Goldschmidt's direction
and the highly theatrical pastiches of
Birgit Sarata-Pitch could be understood,
enioyed, and even savored from another
point of view. Thereupon, I settled back
figuratively in my wooden stall, put my
tongue firmly in my cheek, and joined the
fun. What the hell. Take another bow
Birgit!
Aside from Birgit Sarata Pitch's truly
memorable bows, one of the high points
of the evening for me came during the
Polka francaise "Im Krapfen wald" when
Hermann, the stoical precussionist, broke
into a well executed smile. From that
point the rest was easy. Goldschmidt,
conducting sans podium and score
pushed the orchestra closer and closer to
the edge of bathos while reminding us
with a wave of a well-practiced hand that
after all it was all to be taken in the spirit
of good fun. The three curtain calls were
well deserved; although I was
embarrassed by the standard standing
ovation. I didn't think that the regulation
program deserved anything of that order
of magnitude. But when the third and last
curtain call ended in an astonishing
interruption of Strauss in favor of "The
Stars and Stripes Forever I knew that
Johann Strauss had not died in vain.
FINALLY, HERMANN the stoical percus-
sionist broke into a well executed smile.
Records
Rory Gallagher -TATOO
ByJ.K. Loftin
A relative newcomer to the U.S this
young blues-based Englishman has
brought out his fifth album, a record
which is amazingly similar in style but
more unlimited in influence than his
previous records. Rory Gallagher, whom
some might remember as the key member SIDE 0NE
of the last Sixties group, Taste, never
strays very far from his blues roots. On
this album he allows a few more
influences to pervade his work, especially
gypsy and jazz strains. His biggest
problem is that he knows he is good. He
produces all his own records and writes
all of his own material except for those
traditional blues songs which he
performs. In his case he is too subjective
and isn't able to see those things which
need to be brought to the fore and those
qualities which should be discarded or
improved upon.
As usual the quality of the recording is
rather thin and transparent. On his last
album, Blueprint, the sound quality was
even worse. The choice of material is also
too subjective, often including songs
� in i IiiWMiii ii
which a more objective producer would
definitely replace. On this album, much
the same as with his other albums, the
quality of material varies from excellent
on only a few cuts to fair on most to poor
on one or two. Perhaps it is this
consistent inconsistency which keeps his
fans buying his albums, hoping to hear
the truly excellent one that they know he
rould produce with the proper direction.
For those wno like to know more
particulars about the performed se-
lections, a brief description follows each
title below:
Tatood Lady" - smooth, minor key
effect, switching to a rock n' roll bridge
' Cradle Rock" - up-beat John Lee Hooker
influenced tune
"20:20 Vision" - smooth, acoustic, 1940's
influenced blues number, lightly done
with a humorous flavor
"They Don't Make Them Like You
Anymore" - sounds like a strange remake
of Herb Albert's version of 'A Taste of
Honey jazz influenced, words are a play
on cliches such as 'they say that
everything comes to he who waits' and
the title of the tune itself
"Living Like a Trucker" - compares the life

Unlike his immediate predecessor,
John Mayall, Rory Gallagher performs as
a solo performer, while Mayall allowed the
musicians in his band to either share the
spotlight or in some cases take it over for
awhile. To this end Rory keeps his band
way in the background and only rarely do
you hear what they can do. Of special
merit, however, is bassist Gerry McAvoy
who sets a strong foundation for everyone
else.
Hopefully, this review will not
discourage anyone from Rory Gallagher
for he truly is a dynamic and talented
performer and deserves some recognition.
If he can swallow his ego a bit and allow a
good producer to come in and work with
him we may hear some of the music of
which he is truly capable.

Randle is gone;Travathan in?
The inevitable has finally happened -
Sonny Randle has left East Carolina.
East Carolina University Chancellor Dr.
Leo Jenkins Wednesday appointed a
five-man committee to begin searching for
a new head football coach to replace
Sonny Randle, who Wednesday afternoon
accepted the head coaching position at
the University of Virginia �
Named to the committee were
Clarence Stasavitch, athletic director at
East Carolina; Mr. C. G. Moore,
Vice-Chancel lor for Business Affairs; Bill
Bodenhamer, president of the student
government association; Dr. Clinton
Prewett, a psychology professor and a
member of East Carolina's Faculty
Committee Athletics; and Les Gamer,
president of the Pirate Club.
In announcing the committee, Dr.
Jenkins said: "This committee will begin
without delay the job of searching for a
new head football coach. I have
challenged them to search thoroughly but
with as much expediency as possible. We
must be careful that we are thorough in
our search but we must also act without
delay so that we will not risk losing many

vote three days later on whether or not to wait for a bid to the Tangerine
Bowl. The team voted not to await a possible bowl bid, clearing the way for
Randle to receive and accept an offer to become head football coach at the
University of Virginia.

East Carolina defensive coordinator
Carl Reese was offered the head football
coaching job, but has turned down the

opportunity to take over the leadership of

from consideration as a prospective head

"The reasoning is not administrative,

Summerell, Troupe
invited to Blue-Grey
East Carolina quarterback Carl
Summerell and offensive guard Greg
Troupe have accepted invitations to
participate in the thirty-sixth annual
Blue-Gray Football Classic to be held in
Montgomery, Alabama on Dec.18.
Summerell, a senior from Virginia
Beach, received All-Southern Conference
honors, was named Player of the Year in
the conference, and was named an
honorable mention All-American by the
Associated Press.
Troupe, a senior from Alexandria, Va
was also named to the All-Southern
Conference team.
There is a man on the East Carolina
football coaching staff who is as much a
part of this area of North Carolina as
anyone, excluding Dr. Jenkins, of
course. His name is Henry Trevathan and
he possesses a burning desire to be the
new Pirate head football coach.
He too, like all the others on the
coaching staff, was invited by Sonny
Randle to join him at Virginia. But the
defensive backfield coach of this past
season doesn't want to go.
"Coach Randle talked to each coach
separately Tuesday morning said
Trevathan. "I have been offered a place on
the staff of the University of Virginia, but
me preference is to stay here at East
Carolina
"Coach Randle explained how things
have led him back to Virginia, so he was
very understanding in regards to the
things that have led me to East Carolina
continued Trevathan.
Randle was a standout performer at
the U. of Virginia before his illustrious
career as a wide receiver in the
NFL. Trevathan's accomplishments as
head coach of Wilson Fike are almost
legend in this state.
When asked his thoughts on becoming
head coach at ECU, Trevathan made this
statement.
"Yes, I am definitely interested in the
head coaching job here at East Carolina,
and I'm trying to explain the seriousness
of my intentions to the proper people in
the proper way
"I have a strong feeling about this
university continued Trevathan. "There
is a great tradition with coaches here-as
great as with any school in the country
"McGee went to Duke, Randle to
Virginia, and now it should be Henry
Trevathan to East Carolina. I don't look at
it as opportunity as much as I feel a
calling to it
"Dr Jenkins has set up a fine
screening committee and I'm sure they
will do a great job stated Trevathan. "I
feel as if I have some advantages. I am a
fragment of the program of the past and
at the same time I'm my own man with my
own ideals and plans.
Maybe the time has come to stop
bringing in coaches who will use East
Carolina as a stepping stone for their true
intentions. Maybe the time has come for
Henry Trevathan.
Following Penn Relays
swimmers face USF
The East Carolina Pirate swimmers,
trying to regroup following a seventh
place finish in the Penn State Relays, will
host the University of South Florida in a
dual meet to be held in Minges Pool on
Monday evening.
The 7:30 p.m. encounter promises to
be a very interesting contest. The Pirates
have won the last two meetings between
the two schools rather easily, but South
Florida is the type of team that cannot be
taken lightly. East Carolina can still
remember the heartbreaking loss in
Tampa two years ago following a
questionable judges decision.
The South Florida meet will be the
only dual meet competition for the Pirates
before they break for the Christmas
holidays. The new year will find such
teams as UNC, N.C. State and Maryland
invading Minges Pool.

A midget among the trees ?
COACH TOM QUINN'S CAGERS currently 1-2 or the young season, will host the
Wildcats of Davidson College at 8 p.m. Saturday evening at Minges Coliseum. The
Pirates head into Saturday's contest after a defeat at the hands of N.C. State Wolf pack
and Davidson is now 1-0 following their opening night win over the Wofford Terriers,
but the 'Cats faced a tough Brown team at the Charlotte Coliseum Wednesday night.
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
A 6'8" basketball player is rarely the
smallest man on the court, yet Nicky
White in quieter moments away from the
den of excitement certainly must ponder
the life of a midget.
White, the pivot man for the ECU
basketball team, is confronted this year
by 7'3" Tom Burleson of N.C. State, 71"
Fessor Leonard of Furman and several
schools with centers above 6'10
A two time All-Conference selection
and All-State selection his senior year in
high school in Kinston, White reflects on
his thoughts of facing these giants.
"As far as their size goes, I don't think
about it. I know its hard to take big guys
inside, but you can out maneuver them
with quickness and stamina. You can run
a big man up and down the court and tire
him out, plus use your outside game to
force him out of the middle
To prepare for these encounters, White
endured a rigorous off season training
program.
"Last year when the season was over I
took a couple of weeks off and then I
started working on weights. This summer
in summer school I worked on
weightlifting and running. I also tried to
perfect my jump shot a little bit more
from the inside and improve my outside
game
White, who averaged 19 points and 15
rebounds a game his senior year in high
school, was recruited by several
schools. Fayetteville State, Fresno State
;n California and North Carolina Central
University all competed for his services
before he decided on East Carolina.
White explained his decision, "I saw
when I came to visit as a recruit the
caliber of ball they were playing and I felt
like I could fit in. Plus I like the
atmosphere of the campus
Named Most Valuable Player on the
freshman team at ECU, White averaged
18.1 points and 15.3 rebounds a
game. He was also honored as an
All-State selection.
After a mediocre sophomore year
White came into his own in 1972. Raying
forward last year, an unfamiliar position,
White had several outstanding games. He
dominated the boards against Furman
before a television audience and scored 25
points in the opening game against
Richmond in the Southern Conference
Tournament.
Best known for his last second basket
in overtime which gave ECU the 1972
Southern Conference championship,
White recognized his key role in this
year's program.
"Usually people see a center as a guy
who is the biggest one on the team and
simply clears the boards. What I try to do
is both offensive and defensive
rebounding and add consistency to the
team's scoring. I try to stop my opponent
inside, especially from getting the easy
layup
Professional basketball lurks at the
minds of most college players, yet it
doesn't dominate White's who has been
scouted by the likes of the NBA's
Milwaukee Bucks.
"I try not to forsee pro ball. Some-
times when you get your hopes up so
high any little thing can just about ruin
you. I'm trying to work my way towards
that goal, and if have that opportunity I'll
accept it. I won't go to the extreme and
say I'll go ail out for pro ball cause you
never can tell what might happen
An anthropology major, White hopes
to further his education in graduate
school or possible expand into the field of
interior decorating.
After two games this season White is
scoring 13 points and 8.5 rebounds a
game while hitting .600 percent of his
field goals.
Being the big man in a position filled
with bigger men seems unduly fair, but
then again the "big men" will have to keep
up with him which is no small feat itself.
Gridcfers receive honors
Quarterback Carl Summerell, running
back Cariester Crumpler, and linebacker
Danny Kepley have been named honorable
mention All-American by the Associated
Press.

No one but someone to be found.

Four men enter Hall of Fame
CtlCCfc'�V'V5�'tf
Membership in the North Carolina
Sports Hall of Fame rose to 45 Tuesday
evening as four men were inducted.
One of baseball's most noted brother
acts, pitchers Gaylord Perry of the
Cleveland Indians and Jim Perry of the
Detroit Tigers; stock car driving champion
Richard Petty; and former Olympic
trackman Floyd "Chunk" Simmons joined
their illustrious predecessors at a banquet
held in Mirtges Coliseum.
The Perry's, Williamston natives, have
both won the Cy Young Award as top
pitcher in the American League. Jim, 37,
won 24 games and Gaylord, 35, won 23 in
1970, the first time brothers had reached
the 20-game victory level in the major
leagues.
Simmons, 50, a free lance photo-
grapher in Charlotte, is a former
University of North Carolina star, who
went on to win third place bronze medals
in the decathlon in the 1948 Olympics in
London and again four years later in
Helsinki.
Petty, a Level Cross native, is 36, and
stock car racing's first millionaire. He has
won more than 150 NASCAR Grand
National races. He joins his father, Lee
Petty, who entered the Hall of Fame in
1966.
