Christmas is also a time of legend
Complied By DIANE TAYLOR
Co-News Editor
In this age of materialistic reality it is
easy to forget or purposefully overlook the
fact that superstition and tradition are one
basis for many things taken for granted
today. Although they may not be
recognized as superstition, tradition or
legend, the origins of most established
holidays fall into at least one of these
categories.
Since many of these idyllic legends
are well known and practiced today, it
may be more interesting to know some of
the myths that never made it big.
For instance, the raven is not a
generally accepted symbol of Christmas.
However, it is said to have been the first
bird to know what happened. As he was
flying over the Bethlehem fields, the sky
was suddenly filled with angels. But, as
always happens on this spotlight-seeking
sphere, someone stole his number, and it
is the cock who gets credit for
proclaiming the good news. Perhaps the
moral here is - keep your head out of the
clouds, you feet on the ground, etc.
Here's one that cold weather nature
lovers might want to check out. As
tradition has it, ever since the cow
"warmed the Christ child with her breath"
the cow is praised as having the sweetest
breath of all animals. As the clock strikes
midnight the cattle turn to the east and
kneel down in one byre, horses kneel in
stable and blow upon the manger as bees
hum the Hundreth Psalm in their
hives. In some European countries all
animals are believed to have the power of
Extended holiday
The Christmas holidays will be
extended for ECU students and faculty
due to an administrative effort to conserve
fuel and energy. Classes had originally
been scheduled to resume on Thursday,
Jan. 3; they will now resume on Monday,
Jan. 7. Dormitories will re-open on
Sunday, Jan. 6 at 1:00 p.m.
The change of scheduling came about
as a result of student petition which
pointed out the waste involved in heating
and lighting university buildings for four
days when only two days of class would
be held. With this change, classes will
begin on a Monday, thus avoiding having
to use energy over the weekend.
This change of schedule might cause
problems to students having to travel long
distances to return to Greenville because
of the closing down of gasoline stations
on Sundays. Students who have pro-
blems in getting enough gasoline to
return to Greenville and must miss
classes because of this should see either
Dean of Men James B. Mallory or Dean of
Women Carolyn A. Fulghum for
excuses. If valid, it will be s legitimate
6XCUS6
Provost John M. Howell said in
response to the schedule change that,
"We have to do the best we can with the
energy problem and do what we can to
conserve energy during this time of
crisis. This change of schedule will save
quite a bit of fuel and energy for ECU and
the surrounding community
speech. But it is dangerous for humans
to hear their conversations, else dire
misfortunes may befall them.
Along with the traditional tale of the
shepard's gifts of frankincense and myrrh
comes this about the personal gifts of
lambskin, a whistle, a favorite tabor or
rattle, and the gift of the poor shepard
who had nothing but a daisy he had
picked on the way. Where he got the
daisy in the middle of winter is not
explained. But this could be possible
since it is generally believed that the
shepards "came from afar
Although scant mention is made of
ghosts at Christmas time, the word is that
telling ghost stories around the fire is a
favorite Christmas pasttime. There are
two sides to the ghost tradition: one is
that no ghost or evil spirit has power to
harm on Christmas eve, the other is that
the dead return to their homes, that trolls
are said to hold high revel and the baying
of hounds signals the return of the wild
hunt. (The wild hunt is a cavalcade of
horsemen variously believed to be the
souls of returning old gods, demons, the
evil dead or of unbaptized and naughty
children.)
Bread and cakes baked on Christmas
morning are thought to have special
virtues. They never go moldy (so it is
said) and if kept until they are quite dry
and then powdered in hot water, they are
an excellent remedy for summer sickness,
spring fever and other such ills.
If your Christmas Eve party is just
breaking up around dawn, then everyone
can run outside to see if the first rays of
the rising sun will "strike through" an
apple tree, which means that everyone
can expect a good crop.
If you happen to find a ring or a coin in
your Christmas pudding you will be happy
to know that you will be married within 12
months. However, if an unmarried girl
finds a thimble, she will be doomed to
spinsterhood.
A child bom on Christmas Eve or Day
will be fortunate all thru life. If you are
thinking of suicide, then midnight of
Christmas Eve is the best time as the
gates of heaven will stand wide open and
your sould will be able to pass straight
through without having to expiate to his
sins in purgatory.
Of course, New Year's Eve resolutions
are widely recognized as superstitious
"stuff and are jokingly parried
about. However, there are a few things to
remember, if someone comes to your
door on New Year's Eve requesting a light
for his pipe or a brand to rekindle his fire,
refuse him. There is no available reason
for this, but it was among all the rest of
these superstitions and legends. It is also
unlucky to wash linen or sweep rooms on
January 1, the reason being a fear of
washing or sweeping away all of luck for
the coming year, resulting in poverty.
Everyone will be glad to know that this
should be a good winter. Had Christmas
been on Monday, we would have had a
long, cold winter with winds and
storms. But we missed one Wednesday
promise of a fine summer with good
harvests andfull of plenty
One last word, from the word that has
it, about new and traditional names for
Christmas snowflakes - purification
flowers or candlemas bells.
And in ending, let's remember these
words sung over three hundred years ago
by Herrick.
"Down with the Rosemary and Bayes,
Down with the Mistleto;
Instead of holly, now up-raise
The greener box for show.
The holly hitherto did sway;
Let box now domineer,
Until the dancing Easter Day,
On Easter's Eve appear"

Landlords discuss types of housing
Editor's Note: This is the last article in a
four part series concerning housing in
Greenville.
By EC HERRING
Special to the Fountainhead
"The university should not interfer
with private enterprise said James
Williamson. "I don't bother them about
renting and they should not bother me
Williamson rents houses in Greenville.
The larger majority of his tenants are
students. He feels that houses offer
students more privacy than apartments,
rooms or trailers.
"I have no preference in renting said
Williamson. "There are some good
tenants and some bad tenants. A lot of
renting is reflected in the attitude of the
landlord. If he cares, his tenants are more
likely to care
"The landlord should not interefer with
the tenant said Williamson. "You (the
tenant) rent the house and as long as you
keep it up, it is your business what you
do at the house
Williamson believes that there is
always more demand for houses than
apartments.
"Now an over supply of apartments
has been built in Greenville said
Williamson. "This has not hurt the house
rental. Redevelopment has also torn
houses and this has increased the
demand for houses
"I furnish my houses according to the
dem of the market Williamson
said. "If the demand is high, I would not
furnish. If low, I would furnish my
houses. Now my houses are about half
furnished and half unfurnished
Theft of furniture is to be expected
according to Williamson.
"One way to eliminate this problem is
not to furnish Williamson said.
Some damage by tenants is to be
expected Williamson said. However, the
majority of damage to property is done
when the property is unrented. Windows
are broken and furniture is stolen quite
often.
Williamson rents both furnished and
unfurnished houses. Beds, dresser, stove
and refrigerator are the primary furniture,
if the house is furnished. Kitchen table,
couch and chairs are also supplied. Wil-
liamson does not pay the utilities on any
of his rental property.
Unlike Williamson, Larry G. Mozingo,
owner and manager of Country
Club Apartments, feels that the university
should play a role in off-campus housing.
"The university should judge rental
property for the good of the landlord as
well as the student Mozingo said. "My
apartments are on the list in the university
housing office. I'm not against the
university approving housing, but the
student should have the final approval in
renting
Mozingo feels he has no major
problems renting to students. Students
rent 20 per cent of his apartments.

"I try to maintain a good relationship
between the landlord and tenants
Mozingo said. "We get along fine
because I treat tenants as I want to be
treated
"I suggest that the students be put in
a separate court from married tenants
Mozingo said. "Students usually stay up
later than married tenants and they like to
have parties
"I will evict tenants if they do not
respect their neighbor said Mozingo. "I
have never evicted a tenant however. Only
once in three years have I asked a tenant
to move and that was because of
noise. Neighbors had threatened to
move. The tenant moved out the next
day
"Tenants sign a lease saying they will
respect their neighbor Mozingo said.
"The lease also requires the tenant to give
a 30 day notice of leaving. A $100 deposit
is required under the lease
"This deposit is usually given back
said Mozingo. "If the apartment needs
cleaning or has been damaged, the repair
cost will be taken out of the deposit.
"I have a cleaning crew which charges
$12 for the first hour and $10 for each
additional hour Mozingo said. "The
crew never spends more than three hours
cleaning when a tenant moves out
"My biggest problem is tenants
stealing keys the landlord said. "If the
keys are taken, I have the added expense
of changing the locks
"I only go in the apartments to make
repairs and if there are complaints
Mozingo said. "If a complaint has been
filed, I first call the tenant and give a
warning. I will also call a second time if
need be. These first two calls are
attempts to reason with the tenant
"If a third call is needed, this one will
be to the police concluded Mozingo.
Like Mozingo, Mrs. Mae J. Gates is on
the university list of approved off-campus
housing for students. She does not
advertise and her rooms are most often
rented by word of mouth.
"I rent because I like the company
Mrs. Gates said. "There are many more
advantages to renting than disadvant-
ages
The retired school teacher said that
she would rent to female or male
students.
"When I had a maid, I had a preference
for renting to male students Mrs. Gates
said. "Now I clean the rooms myself once
a week. I would prefer to rent to female
students
The rental rooms are in the front part
of Mrs. Gates' home. There are two
rooms and one bath. One room is for two
students, while the other is for a single
student.
The rooms are furnished except for
linen. The tenants have their own
entrance and own telephone.
"The students sometimes eat meals
with me Mrs. Gates said. "Usually they
keep to themselves
"My biggest problem is girl students
wanting to use the kitchen said Mrs.
Gates. "I now allow the students to keep
juice and such in the refrigerator
"Most are good students who want to
do well said the retired teacher. "I have
no great regulations on their living here
"I don't allow the students to keep
dates here she said. "The dates only
meet the students here
The rent cost fluctuates with individual
student need. Mrs. Gates said that she
tried to help the student through school.
Mrs. Gates feels that there is too
much rental property for the university to
approve all housing.
"In the future there will be so many
apartments in the Greenville area that
rooms for rent will be phased out Mrs.
Gates concluded.
Like Mrs. Gates, Miss Iva ShelDurn
rents rooms to ECU students. Her name
appears on the approved list of housing
for women students.
"The university should play a role In

"I'm frozen .I'm freezing and there's

up for my eight o'clock class
This comment and several others like
it were being made by residents of Garrett
Hall following a weekend during which
they were "cold as hell
Garrett was not the only campus
building feeling the bite of winter. "D"
wing of Social Sciences and Austin were
also without heat on Monday. Several
instructors in Austin resorted to lecturing
in their coats while the temperature in the
Math office there dropped to a chilly 58
degrees.
When questioned about insufficient
heating in these buildings, Vice
Chancellor for Business Affairs, C. G.
Moore, said that he had not been notified
about Garrett, Social Sciences and
Austin. He said that the only complaint
that had reached him from Garrett was
one of over-heating.
"Dr. Jenkins received a call from a girl
in Cotton Hall who complained that they
were too hot. They couldn't cut off the
valves that regulated their heat. We fixed
that and now, a week later, they are too
cold He explained that there is a night
setback control on heat and that the
residents should make sure their valves
are opened.
Moore said that each time the
temperature has been checked in Cotton,
it has been over 68 defrees F. Residents
on third floor disagree It's the coldest

Garrett dorm who may have a hard time
explaining why he didn't make it home for
Christmas.
There have been various attempts by
residents to alleviate the situation. The
most common way is to buy a portable
electric heater which will run off the outlet
in the rooms. Electric blankets are also
being used.
Moore says that the use of electric
heaters will only increase the problem.
"The old dorms cannot service these
heaters. They are an overload, waste

The room is furnished with bed and

while experimenting with various other
influences. Basing themselves with such
numbers as "Seventh Son" by Willie
Dixon and the old Canned Heat number
"Let's Work Together they use these
influences to fashion their own particular
brand of music. The word "climax" in
their name definitely has a place in their
music, for it goes from racuous peaks to
quiet valleys and then suddenly right back
up to even greater energy levels. They
have the taste to know when to hold back
at just the right moment, so that what
follows next is that much more effective.
From the opening song "All the Time
in the World" they demonstrate the
passion they have for mood changes
within their songs. Smooth, yet rocking,
the song gets things off to a nice start,
followed by what is probably the song
that will make them better than any other,
"I Am Constant This song features
some very nice vocal work together with
some good lyrics and a melody that just
sits in the back of your mind. This song
along with "Shake Your Love a Bo
Diddley influenced tune, were performed
by them on NBC's Midnight Special a few
months ago to the delight of many who
had not been turned on to this group
before.
A basic four-piece group, i.e. two
guitarists, one of whom doubles on sax,
bassist, and drummer, they provide some
dramatic and very full sounds, particularly
during their instrumentals, "Flight" and
"mesopopmania Both are heavily jazz
influenced and feature some fine electric
sax work by Colin Cooper, while the latter
contains an impressive drum solo by John
Cuffely. It is especially impressive when
one considers how often in these post
lnga-da-da-vi-da" days when drum
solos are often affected ago boosts that
do more for the drummer than those
listening. Thankfully this is not the case
with him, or for that matter, any of the
other members of the group, for each has
his own soh 3pot and brings it off with
taste and talent and just enough ego for
the confidence each requires. Included in
"Flight" is a particularly fine bass solo by
Derek Holt, which at first sounds like a
lead guitar. Also, Pete Haycock, principle
lead guitarist, shows off some fine slide
work in his composition of "Country Hat"
as well as unbelievable blues riffs on the
slow blues number "So Many Roads
There are things happening in this song
which will not only surprise you, but
surprised the group itself in several
instances.
There are no really weak songs in the
album, however, some do not match the
quality of those already mentioned.
"Standing by a River" is possibly the least
attractive song included in this two-record
set, with "You Make Me Sick" running a
close second. However, the title of the
latter song and the manner in which it is
presented seem to suggest that a spoof
on something (possibly Alice Cooper?).
Its main fault is that it is neither subtle
enough nor affected enough to come off
properly.
All in all, this is a fine album, vaguely
reminiscent of Humble Pie's "Rockin" the
Fillmore" and the price of $4.95 for a
two-record set makes the package doubly
attractive.

Random thoughts
This last issue prior to Christmas brings with it at least a dozen thoughts to squish
into a single editorial.
We will attempt to pare down our topics, and will begin with the 73 Buccaneer. The
criticism (pro and con) concerning this book has hit us pretty heavily in terms of Forum
letters; if nothing else, the 73 Buc has managed to cull more dissent at ECU than has
anything since the 1969-70 visitation protests.
Our opinion of the Buc is a rather fence-sitting one. On one hand, the book is full
of inside okes and references known only to the editors. The entire format is rather
disjointed jumping from photo essay to sports to sports to sports (one person has
stated that the Buc reads like a football program), and the layout is simply
unfortunate. However, as we understand it there were some technical difficulties
involved in the Buc's birth, including the loss of one set of proofs in the mail.
SICK MINDS
As for the editorial content, which one letter writer has called a product of "sick
minds the main dissent seems to be over the purpose of a yearbook. We believe that
a yearbook should reflect student life honestly, and can do so while avoiding cornball
posing, stiff photographs, shots of a frozen Wright fountain and pictures of every
Homecoming Queen since 1927, which so many yearbooks glory in. We trust that this
is the image the 73 Buc sought to shake off. We have personal objections to some of
the content, not because it's "sick" or immoral, but because it strikes us as being
rather immature and passe' as far as students go. We believe it's too chaotic and
disorganized a thing to deserve a $52,000 tab. But we don't see it as a curse that
should be squelched or exorcised, nor do we believe with SGA President Bill
Bodenhamer that the yearbook's advisor should act as a censor and virtually dictate the
book itself.
LOST CONTROL
The objectors to the 73 Buc - including the SGA President - seem to believe that
the primary purpose of a yearbook is for use as public relations material.
The editors of the 73 Buc felt that they, as students, could do a better job of
describing student life than could a series of club pictures. We feel they succeeded in
part, although they sadly lost control somewhere along the way. We feel the desire to
change was valid, and feel that the failures of the 73 Buc can be attributed to first, the
lack of precedent in such an experiment, and second, the technical problems
experienced by the staff.
CONTEST ENTRY
But we don't feel that this first try should entail future censorship. If the Buc is
to be regarded as an expensive ECU catalog, public relations manual and contest entry
rather than as a yearbook, we suggest that it be taken from the realm of student-run
publications and be henceforth produced by the SGA. This is the only way one can
guarantee a book that follows the same formula each year and is sufficiently innocuous
enough to make everyone happy.
And so we urge offended parties to think a few times before demanding
censorship. To those who would claim we haven't been cut by the 73 Buc and are
therefore free to support it, we urge you to read about Fountainhead on pages 44 and
45 of the Buc's "nuts and bolts" section.
Then think again. OTHER THINGS
Fountainhead would like to thank its typist, Alice Leary, the person responsible
for phototypesetting this newspaper into existence. Alice (a nonstudent) has remained
bemusedly with us through several equipment breakdowns, a non-budget and a fund
freeze, remarking occasionally that it seemd odd for one newspaper to have so many
hassles. True. All we're trying to do is put out a product, but intervening Fates don't
agree.
In closing, we'd like to thank the fuel crisis for holding up shipment of our new
headliner from Wilmington, Mass for making Christmas travel a rather tenuous
possibility; and for putting the squeeze on off-campus students attempting to heat
drafty houses.
Despite all of this, Fountainhead can still wish all of you a merry Christmas and a
quality holiday. Take care and we'll see you Jan. 7 .or Jan. 8, depending on where
you're driving from.

By SHRIKUMAR PODDAR
for Washington Watch
Last July I joined a group of thirty
Americans lead by Professor Jerome
Davis for a trip to the Soviet
Union. Professor Davis is eighty-two
years old and has lived in the Soviet
Union since the Czarist days.
I was interested in learning about the
:hances of "peaceful coexistence
orospects for East West Trade, and to see
if the people of the Soviet Union had
greater freedom.
In Leningrad I made friends with a
nineteen year old petroleum technician.
He was also the secretary of the "Young
Komsomol a state sponsored organi-
zation.
He spoke good English but not
fluently.
He: "How much does an average
American make?" I; "It varies a great
deal but anywhere from $300 per month to
several thousand dollars per month. But
businessmen and executives can make
hundreds of thousands of dollars per
year He was quite amazed.
I; "How much does Mr. Brezhnev
make?" He: "Mr. Brezhnev does not get
a salary I: "How does he manage his
expenses?" He: "That's no problem. He
gets anything he wants from the
store. The store manager would be
honored to give him anything he
wants He laughed: "It's not much
different from the Czars
Later I learned that Mr. Brezhnev does
in fact get a salary. But still my friend
was not wrong. Top leaders of the Party
get virtually unlimited privileges.
He: "You see our system is the best
in the world. It's not the fault of the
system, but the people in the system
I invited him to come to my hotel
room. He: "I'll come. I have per-
mission to talk to foreigners?" I: "You
mean there are people in your country
who do not have permission to talk to
foreigners?" He: "Well, they can if they
want to but they are not supposed
to. You see there are 'good' and 'bad'
foreigners and not everyone can
distinguish
It was nearing midnight and time for
him to go. The subway and the buses
stop running at midnight. He asked me if
I would accompany him downstairs to the
hotel door. I: "Why?" He: "The hotel is
full of secret police and they may want to
know what I am doing here. It's better if
you come with me
In Leningrad we visited the famous
Winter Palace and the Summere Palace of
the Czars. They were full of beautiful
paintings, sculptures and sundry art
objects.
The Soviet Union has spent billions of
rubles restoring the buildings and the
artworks. They have painstakingly re-
stored the frescoes in hundreds of the
Churches.
While the United States was putting
it's savings in industry the Soviet
peasants 'forced savings of three to four
hundred years is invested in these
churches and palaces of the Czar.
Walking in the night in Moscow or any
other big city in the Soviet Union one
feels completely safe. After eleven p.m.
all the restaurants close and streets are
deserted. Leningrad and Moscow sub-
ways are spotlessly clean. Platforms, two
hundred feet underground, are extremely
NMM4MMMPM
well lit with marble arches. Fare is three
kopecks, about four cents.
Soviet merchandise if poor in
quality. Prices are very high.
The housing is quite cheap. It costs
the average person only five to eight
percent of his income. The lowest paid
workers make about two hundred rubles a
month. The highest paid scientists,
actors, professors, and government
bureaucrats can make up to two thousand
rubles a month. (1 ruble - !1.38)
With no income taxes and few
consumer goods to spend their money on,
most of the people spend it on arts and
entertainment like the ballet. Even on
week days it is difficult to obtain tickets
for the theater.
In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, Dr.
Davis took five persons with him and
knocked on the doors ? strangers. Dr.
David would say in nis fluent Russian, "I
am an American and we would like to
meet you Usually they would be invited
in.
A lady doctor made tea for them. They
talked of life in America and in the Soviet
Union.
One of the members of his group
remarked, "Imagine what would happen if
several Russians came to your door and
said, "We are Russians, may we come
in?" Probably the American housewife
would have a heart attack
A NATION BREAKING UP-Why they
crackdown on dissent. Recently there
have been increasing reports of
crackdown against dissent in the Soviet
Union. Dissenters are sent to insane
asylums now rather than to Siberia.
These nationalistic pressures threaten the
break-up of the Soviet Union internally.
The majority of the Soviet people are
non-Russians. Historically they are anti-
Russians. The ethnic Russians domi-
nated them for the last three to four
centuries.
There are over one hundred ten
nationalities in the U.S.S.R. Most of
them would be offended if you called
them Russian. Only about half of the 250
million Soviet citizens consider them-
selves Russians.
In the American press you now hear of
dissent by only a handful like the novelist
Alexander Solzenitsyn and Dr. Andrei
Sakharov, father of the Soviet H-Bomb.
But dissent is far more widespread.
The forces of liberalism unleashed in the
time of Khrushchev have not been
contained by the pro-Stalinist leadership
of today.
Any criticism of the official policy is
considered tantamount to treason. Not
much different than the paranoia
described by John Dean in Nixon's White
House.
They are also fearful of the Soiet
Satellites breaking away from their
orbit. Stalin moved into Eastern and
Central Europe to protect his western
flank from aggression.
But, the satellite nations are not happy
with Russian domination of their
economies.
Lastly, they are fearful of the
imperialist power. If we can imagine
America circled by Russian military bases
we may be able to understand them.
If dissent was truly confined to a
handful, why would the Soviet rulers react
with such fury?

Wondering
To Fountainhead:
As a new student at ECU this quarter,
, many things were very puzzling, not the
least of which was the kind of
malefemale relationships between the
students. (That's always been a subject
I've been interested in.) I tried time and
again to strike up a friendly conversation
with my female classmates (being male
myself), but I always was turned off, shut
down, stared at, and ignored. I had never
seen anything like it, since most of these
times my interest was only to be friendly
and meet new people. If I had been
staring at their bustline or scratching my
crotch while talking to them I could
maybe understand, but I was sure that
wasn't it. Soon I started to get very
self-conscious about it. Were the
eighteen long years finally catching up
with me? Was I getting ugly in my old
age? I doused myself with Right Guard,
Scope, Command, Close-up, English
Leather and Dr. Scholls' Foot Spray, but
to no avail. Things continued to get
worse. Was my fly open? Was I wearing
mismatched socks? What was I doing
wrong?
Then one day a friend down the hail
told me the secret! At this school, he
said, girls assume immediately when they
meet you that any man who talks to them
wants only to land their posterior in the
nearest bed at the soonest convenience!
So he kindly explained, the way to "make
it with a chick" is to get them to think that
you aren't interested in them, which kind
of messes up their ego trip ("you mean
this guy doesn't want my body? Doesn't
he think I'm good enough for him?), and
in a converse way, makes them try harder
to get you! Well, I thought, I can play this
game, too!
So from then on I tried to ignore every
girl that came my way with as much tact
as I could. But every time I would do
something really wrong like smile at
them, or talk nicely to them, or even
(good God) ask them for a date! Of
course, I have had very few dates since
I've been here. How uncool could I be to
really do such things! You never ask
them for dates, say my friends, just try to
trick them into your dorm room. ("Hey,
wanna see my blue suede tennis shoes?')
A dozen or so trips and failures later I
began to feel this wasn't right. There
wasn't much honesty in it at all, and it
just seemed like one damn sorry way to
have relationships with other human
beings. I dig sex just as much as anyone
else, but that's not the main reason I like
to go out with girls and get to know
them. Can't we just talk and be friendly
and enjoy each others company without
guys thinking they have to be hustlers and
girls thinking every guy is trying to hustle
them? Maybe I'm stupid but I don't see
why we can't.
Please, people let's stop screwing
around with our bodies and our minds like
little kids in a new toy shop. Maybe it
sounds ridiculous. I'd like to meet some
more ridiculous people like that.
And be friends.

KA's defense
To Fountainhead:
Concerning the previous two letters
describing those red neck KA's, we would
like to report that OKT have really won the
sadist contest. If they think their "women
haters week" is cute they should take
another look. A raid is a raid but when
rules are broken and bodies are mutilated
the fun ends - and the rest of us Greeks
suffer from the OTs stupidity and
barbaric ways. The KA's may have
tussled a couple of guys, but from 1st
hand experience of seeing the so called
"fight I am sure the OTs would have
done the same thing - if they could have
put their dope down long enough! I think
the OTs could use a little of the KA
Southern Gentlemen habits instead of
acting like the red necks they really
are. They think they're cute, but they're
cutting their own throats! And we're sick
of it
Concerned Greeks
Buc criticized
To Fountainhead:
Joy to the world. The yearbooks have
come.
And when we read them "ages and
ages hence" we will be reminded of fun
and friends at dear old ECU-or will we?
The 1973 BUC is the victim of a trend
mm
which is currently affecting many college
yearbooks. In an effort to make the
annual more attractive and more relevant
to social conditions, editors are
producing gaudy, flowery, prose-filled
creations which reflect less and less of
actual campus life and student activity. In
this area, the 73 BUC is a fine example.
The old adage, "pictures speak louder
than words certainly applies to an
annual. There is, however, a swing
toward more and more written sections in
college yearbooks. It isn't for the purpose
or the need of an annual to supply an
outlet for literary creativity. Most
campuses have at least one literary
publication for this. A caption for a photo
or even a short poem or a bit of prose is
sometimes a nice touch if it is done in
connection with pictures, but whole
pages of printed maerial are cumbersome
and awkward.
The pictorial content of the BUC is
also often irrelevant to student life in
general. People are interested in people.
PhotoaraDhs of buildings, cars, trees, and
bicycles chained to lamp posts may win
awards in photo contests, but don't really
reflect student life. Campus life is seen
through students because without the
students there would be no campus.
The "soul-saving rejection" section
also seems out of place. An annual
should be representative of the students,
not a publication of persona opinion in
which the editors take cheap shots at
another person's religious beliefs.
Admittedly, it is good to try to give an
annual a fresh look, but not to the extent
of overlooking what the purpose of an
annual is. If the 73 BUC is a reflection of
last year then perhaps those memories
might not be worth remembering.
ElerbeFeeto Williams
Croatan use
To Fountainhead:
This letter concerns the faculty room
in the Croatan and a suggestion for more
efficient and equitable use of this
facility. The proposal consists of opening
the room for use as a quiet study area for
students as well as its present use as a
lounge for only the faculty. The reasons
for this are many. First, it is the belief of
this student that there are many others
who would appreciate (and use) the
opportunity to study while they are having
refreshments. This would especially
include those in nursing, music and
social sciences who are in this area for a
major portion of their time on
campus. Also, at the present time this
room remains at least 50 per cent empty
except during the hours between 11 a.m.
and 1 p.m. (information supplied by the
manager of the Croatan). Finally, it
seems only fair that the students should
have the use of a facility which is now
available only to faculty since the Croatan
was built with profits from the Student
Supply Store; profits which many other
schools do not require their students to
pay when using their school store. It
should be noted that this is the only such
facility available to the faculty except a
few lounges in certain academic
buildings, however this does not change
the fact that it remains relatively little
used most of the day.
After speaking with the managers of
mmmmummmmmwmmnmmmm
the Croatan and Student Supply Store and
Mr. C. G. Moore, Vice-Chancel lor of
Business Affairs (all of whom were
receptive to the idea), it was agreed that
an attempt to canvass student (and faculty)
support and views on such a plan be
made.
So those students and faculty who
would like to see a quiet study area
established in the eastern portion of
campus are urged to express this
desire. Also, those who oppose such a
plan are likewise urged to voice their
opinion. Please contact this student at
405 W. 4th St. or 752-0152. It will be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Buc supported
To Fountainhead:
In reply to the letter written by the
distinguished President of the SGA
(re: Buc Protest-Fountainhead December
11, 1973), we the undersigned wish to
make known our bewilderment as to the
nature of Mr. Bodenhamer's criticism of
the 1973 edition of the Buccaneer.
It would be "irresponsible" for the
editorial staff of any University year book
to depict only the traditional view of an
institution of high learning. We therefore
heartily congratulate the staff of the 1973
Buccaneer for endeavoring to show a
more comprehensive picture of ECU. Un-
fortunately an all encompassing view of a
University community includes several
things which may prove to be repungnant
to the more staid up-hoiders of ECU.
The staffers which Bodenhamer has
termed "irresponsible" chose to make us
aware that nudity, sex and drugs are a
part of the college experience as
fraternities, sororities and football games.
The ideals of American dsmocracy
have always pre-supposed that both sides
of any issue will be aired. For years the
Buccaneer has only represented one side
of University and College life; if one
departure from this "accepted" tradition
causes such suffering among ECU
students, then this university deserves to
be known to all as the biggest high school
in the Nation.

functioning, here are a few ideas to get
you started.
Candles are one of the most unique
gifts to give to someone you care
about. You can express their personality
through the colors and designs you
choose.
An idea you might not have thought
about is to make plain candles with
paraffin, and decorate them with beads,
shells or ornaments. Heat the shells or
beads and press them against the candle
with a pair of tongs.
Brush the ouside of the candle with a
coat of melted wax, then stand back and
admire your creation.
If you're the type that enjoys knitting
or crocheting - knit a scarf and mittens for
that special person in your life.
For the flora-fauna group - try making
flowers From pipe cleaners and
fabric. Simply shape the pipe cleaners in
any flower design, cut fabric petals the
same shape, and glue on. Fabrics can be
anything from burlap to delicate, floral
cottons.
Anyone who seeks to challenge their
dexterity might try putting a puzzle
together; cover it with puzzle sealer and
frame.
If you enjoy sewing there is a limitless
number of gifts to make, including:
vests, ties, robes, barbeque aprons,
stuffed animals etc. All of these can be
made in a jiffy and do not require an
experienced seamstress.
Jewelry is another gift that you will
enjoy making, as well as giving. String
beads or buttons on nylon thread or
fishing line to make a really unique
necklace.
Crochet eye catching rings and
bracelets with metallic thread and tiny
beads. Make copper rings and bracelets
for friends who want to ward off arthritis.
If you say you have six thumbs and no
imagination, you can join the rest of the
hustle-bustle crows - rush out and buy
gifts.
But. imagine your pride when you say,
"Look Mom I made this for you
Not only am I an intellectual genius,
I I'm creative too
?MMOMMMMM
usually one who must be a representative
of the entire black student body. The
present question is how a black leader is
to perform in a white bureaucracy where
he must compromise with the majority and
at the same time satisfy the minority.
T. Maurice Huntley, Secretary of
Minority Affairs at ECU describes his
position, as a black leader, as being
unique. According to Huntley, he must
either play a role of a token, or an elected
black officer who has won over white
constituents. He must produce satis-
factory work in order to be called a "good
nigger To be a black leader, he must
live and be a part of the black student
movement and relate it to the projects and
duties that he is to carry out.
Huntley, personally, finds himself
caught in a dilemma. Asking himself
which way he should go, he realized that
he can not be apathetic to any
situation. Often unable to set up a
system of judgements, he gives much of
himself and takes little from others. He
gloats in his victories and mourns in his
defeats, always forced to accept good and
bad results of his actions.
From his experiences, Huntley offers
suggestive advice to all blacks who
propose to take on a position of
leadership. "A black leader must never be
complacent, but always committed he
stated. "He should strive for perfection in
others and be the first to spot weaknesses
in himself
As a black student body leader,
Huntley has many negative attitudes
toward black leaders on a white
campus. Such a position requires expertif
bureaucratic society ana at the same time
be held in some esteem by my black
counterparts
Maurice Huntley
in working with the total black population
on campus. Success is idealistical, and
lessons must be learned from hard
knocks. As the ECU black population
increased many students will expereince
this lesson. Huntley proposes two
objectives to these students. "Either go
in and fight or stay out and complain
"A black leader must never forget that
he is a black man. He must look himself
over and stand tall as a black man and a
black leader. The road to this ultimate
goal is long, rough, and lonely says
Huntley. "It will take a strong true
blackness to be both a part of that

To Sports Information Director John Evenson: Someone to cuddle up to on
Christmas Eve.
To Chancellor Jenkins: A multi-million dollar combination medical school and
football stadium complex.
To Danny WhitrrarvWhitley-Whatman (it doesn't matter): A new last name.
To Coach Tom Quinn: Many more thrilling, big victories such as the game against
Davidson.
To Coach William Carson: A 9.9 sprinter with the potential to go much faster.

roadmap.
To Ed Wolcott: A great big "thank you" for all the help and inspiration he has given
East Carolina athletics.

And the final present, an undefeated season, should be presented to the women's
swimming and basketball teams.
Merry Christmas ya'll.
BASEBALL
Veteran Cub third baseman Ron Santo says that their is no room for him any
longer and that he wants to be traded to the south side of Chicago, meaning the White
Sox
Santo, a 14-season man with the Cubbies, last week invoked his service status
under a new major league rule and blocked a Cub effort to trade him to the California
Angels.
COUGARS
Following a victory over the Memphis Tarns last Saturday, 99-94, the Carolina
Cougars find themselves leading the ABA's Eastern Division by 3112 games. However,
the second place Kentucky Colonels are only a single game behind in the loss column.
STATS
Going into tonight's game against Fairieigh-Dickinson, the Buc's leading scorer is
Nicky White. White is averaging 17.5 points per contest. The big 6-8 senior is also
leading the Pirates in the rebounding category with 33.
Roger Atkinson is hitting 58 per cent of his shots from the floor and White is hitting
on 45 per cent of his shots.

Cagers face Knights
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
After facing nationally ranked N.C.
State and Davidson and coming up 1-1,
the Pirates deserve a break in the caliber
of competition.
The opponent gets no easier though
tonight in Minges Coliseum as the Pirates
face Fairleigh Dickinson Univ. of New
Jersey.
Fairleigh Dickinson is undefeated in
four games by defeating Stony Brook,
Buffalo Univ American International
College and Northeastern Univ.
They are led by center Glenn Bolduc
and forward John Machiavema who
average 14.7 and 14.6 points respectively.
Machiavema is a junior college
transfer from Jacksonville Univ. who adds
speed and scoring to a team which last
year finished with a 13-13 season.
Coach Tom Quinn commented on
Thursday's opponent.
"Fairleigh Dickinson averages 81
points a game while holding their
opponents to 55 a game. They're a typical
East Coast ballclub, they handle the ball
well and don't make mistakes. Their pivot
man Glenn Bolduc is a rugged rebounder,
and had a great game last year against
nationally prominent Oral Roberts. I don't
feel they've played the caliber of teams
we've played, but they are physical
underneath
Fairleigh Dickinson's coach is Al
Lobalbo, a defensive genius who has
molded a team which lost only one starter
into a faster paced, pattern type offense
and pressure defense.
ECU is no pushover as shown in their
upset win over Davidson.
The Pirates are led by their leading
rebounder and scorer Nicky White, with
able assistance from Roger Atkinson,
Reggie Lee and the rest of the Pirates.
One of the ingredients the nationally
prominent teams have over ECU is their
fan support, and that problem the Pirates
and this paper hope will be solved
tonight.
Pirates play in classic
The Pirate's Southern Conference
championship football team could have as
many as three players in the starting
lineup next Tuesday (Dec. 18) when the
Blue meets the Gray in the annual
Blue-Gray Classic in Montgomery,
Ala. The game will be televised nationally
by ABC Sports.
Starting at quarterback for the Gray
will be SoutherrtConference Player of the
Year Carl Summereil while Carlester
Crumpler, who virtually rewrote East
Carolina rushing record books, may start
in the backfield along with Barty Smith
from the University of Richmond. The
third East Carolina player is Greg Troupe,
a two-time all-conference player and
All-South pick in 1973. He will start at
offensive guard.
Summereil received the SCs MVP
Award in Charleston, S.C. last Monday en
route to Montgomery to begin
practice He was an early selection to the
game and is being watched closely by a
bevy of professional scouts already at the
practice site. During three brilliant years
at East Carolina, Summereil rushed 785
yards in 219 attempts for 11 touchdowns;
passed tor 2859 vards and 26 touchdowns
while completing 198 of 427 passes (46.3
per cent). He finished second in total
offense in the Southern Conference in
1973 averaging more than 137 yards per
game.
Crumple-was a late selection. He was
notified of his selection on Monday and
left immediately for Montgomery. His
career accomplishments represent the
East Caroling and Southern Conference
rushing record book: he has gained 2689
caree yards (538 in 1971,1309 in 1972 and
1042 n 1973)-both East Carolina and SC
records; he also holds the East Carolina
and Southern Conference record for career
carries-658 and for scoring with 37
touchdowns (222 points). Single season
accomplishments for Crumpler go back to
1972 when he rushed for 1309 yards,
carried 340 times, scored 17 touchdowns
for a record breaking total of 102 points.
Troupe on the other hand has been
all-conference twice but has not received
the notice he deserved. At 6-3, 235, he
was East Carolina's most dependable
blocker behind East Carolina's crunching
running game. He has definite pro
possibilities.
Intramural play continues
By LARRY CRANDALL
Staff Writer
There's a familiar ring to the list of
league-leading teams after the first week
of intramural basketball action. The
Junkies, Horrors, Zig Zag II, and Wahoos,
all among last year's top contingents, are
off and running toward another series of
February showdowns.
The Junkies, defending campus
champions, were paced by Kris Dominick
in a season-opening romp over the Meat
Heads. The Horrors, frustrated by two
near-championships, opened another
campaign by blasting the Worms
62-27. Zig Zag II, last year's freshmen
sensations, also romped to a 54.23 win
over the Buzzards. Another member of
last year's elite, the Wahoos, began with a
69-42 triumph over the Flying Kaboobies.
The intramural basketball schedule
will be revised beginning January 7, with
five games played nightly instead of
four. The opening game will begin at 6:30
p.m.
The Flying Kaboobies parleyed the
passing of Jack Elkins and the running of
Ronnie Leggett to a 20-0 victory over the
Sweat Hogs in the contest for the campus
football crown. The Rolling Stones were
victorious over Kappa Alpha in the
volleyball title match.
Swimming and wrestling rosters are
due at the intramural office on January 11.

Swimmers splash by South Florida
The East Carolina Pirates opened the
1973-74 swimming season with a
come-from-behind 57-56 victory over the
University of South Florida in what coach
Ray Scharf called a "traumatic kind of
victory
The Pirates were trailing following the
opening event, the 400-yard medley relay,
and they never led until the final event as
they snatched victory from the jaws of
defeat.
The Monday night encounter saw East
Carolina fall behind the visitors from
Tampa by 14 points with two events
remaining-the three-meter diving and the
400-yard freestyle relay.
The diving team of senior Jack Morrow
and freshman Ken Morin finished first and
second respectively in the three-meter
competition and left the outcome of the
meet to the freestyle relay team.
Under extreme pressure, the team of
Jim Hadley, Grey Hinchman, Ross
Boh I ken and co-captain Bobby Vail split
the liquid to victory to win the meet by the
slimmest of margins.
East Carolina managed only five of 13
first places, but somehow lady luck shone
brightly for the Pirates.
Two meet records fell and both were
set by South Florida. The Golden
Brahmans' 400-yard medley relay and
Dean Hardy's 200-yard freestyle victory
established the new meet marks.
Commented coach Scharf, "prior to
the meet's start I told our men that we
were going to win, but I never had any
idea that it would be that close. I
congratulate each and every South Florida
swimmer for outstanding efforts. It is the
mark of a tough team to rebound and
come back the way we did tonight and I
salute our team for not giving up
Added Scharf, "We were two quite
evenly matched teams and I felt that we
would have won a little more handily if we
would have received better performances
in a couple of events. Overall the times
were good and several of our swimmers
posted their career best tmes
Scharf awarded "tough-nuts" (the
team's outstanding performance award) to
diver Ken Morin, breastroker David
Kirkman, and butterflier Mike Bretting.
The Buc's, presently 1-0 in dual meet
competition, will be idle until Jan. 12
when the University of North Carolina
visits Minges pool. Coach Scharf feels
that the Tar Heels may have their best
team in the history of the sport at Chapel
Hill.

The impact of losing a head football coach
By DAVE ENGLERT
Assistant Sports Editor
In this, Part Two of a two-part series
concerning the impact of losing a head
football coach, the focus will be on
prominent figures of East Carolina
University-their views on the new
coaching situation with an emphasis on
the recruiting problem.
Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins comment-
ed on the inducements made to Sonny
Randle to encourage him to stay, and how
ECU was practically taken by surprise by
his leaving. It is rumored that Randle was
all set to remain in Greenville as late as
November 30, being disappointed with his
original reception at the U. of Virginia.
"We offered him an increase in salary
and a longer contractJenkins stated. "It
was for $24,000 and for four years. We
never got to the stage of details. I talked
to him that Friday
Evidently over the weekend of
December 1 and 2 the U. of Virginia came
up with a better offer, and by Tuesday,
the fourth, Randle was gone.
"He did the thing I suggested I would
do if I were in his shoes said
Jenkins. "If I was in my 30's, could
increase my salary, and could return to
my alma mater, I'd go too. I'd be a
hypocrite to tell him to stay
Eventually the selection committee
will advise Jenkins of their first and
second choices, and the Chancellor
elaborated on what this new coach could
expect upon his arrival at ECU.
"The new coach will be able to get his
own staff, will be working in an
enthusiastic community, will be received
by a friendly student body-we've had
good attendance, and will receive
cooperation from the faculty asserted
Jenkins. "He will be working with an
administration that has an enthusiastic
interest in intercollegiate athletics
As evidence of this, Jenkins described
measures being taken to enlarge Ficklen
Stadium.
"The Chancellor's office has mailed
out 4000 letters to the business
community, asking them for suggestions
as to how to expand the capacity of the
stadium to 30 or 35,000. The first
response came back with a contribution
for a substantial amount Jenkins
announced.
Jenkins made it clear that the
departure of Sonny Randle had no
connection at all with this effort.
"People thought it was sad that all our
games with both State and Cnapel Hill
should be away from home explained
Jenkins. "When you play to that many
away-46,000 at State and 43,000 at
Carolina-you can't come to Greenville
and play before 18,000
m
Can you imagine the traffic jam that
would occur if the 35,000 people
descended upon Greenville at once, what
with the lack of four-land roads now?
"Sure we want to improve the
highways agreed Jenkins. "But if they
get here and we don't have a seat for them
we're right back where we started
In the football program a certain
amount of money is set aside for
recruiting. With much of that money
spend already, it will be most interesting
to observe how many of Randies' recruits
wind up playing ball for the Cavaliers of
Virginia.
The Vice Chancellor of Business
Affairs, C.G. Moore, was able to provide
some figures concerning this matter,
amid speculation that Randle had used up
all the recruiting money before he left.
"$25,000 is budgeted annually for the
purpose of recruiting said Moore.
"Through the end of November, $12,000
was spent. This amount does not take
into account the telephone bills run up in
November-they would still have to come
out of that
East Carolina University Athletic
Director Clarence Stasavich also offered
some insight on the dilemma of recruiting
money that would be available for the
successor to Sonny Randle.
"The recruits don't seem to be signing
V
as fast this year Stasavich stated. "The
recruiting budget for the new coach is
certainly something that will need to be
adjusted, and we are certainly in a
position to do that
Stasavich heads the committee which
will select the two candidates which will
be considered by Dr. Jenkins in his
decision. Jenkins has indicated he will be
satisfied completely with the first choice
of the committee.
"The head coaching job involves so
many facets of the community said
Stasavich. "The committee is made up of
representatives of these areas and will try
to select a man who will be acceptable to
everyone
"The interest in this position is great
because it is a great opportunity
continued Stasavich. "The university has
a great deal of prestige and respect
"The recruiting issue is pressing, but
the most important thing is to get the
proper man, because we expect him to be
around for many years
The problem will soon be over. When
the new coach is finally selected, he will
be faced with a tremendous challenge.
The winning tradition must be carried on
and the personality of Sonny Randle will
have to be replaced in the players hearts
and in the minds of all the fans of East
Carolina football.
