Mini-calculators ease thinking
By JIM DODSON
Staff Writer
With the advent of the age of the
computer, modern technology is con-
tinually devising mechanical means by
which our lives are made simpler, even by
replacing the most significant of all
human exercises-the process of thinking.
The results of this technology are
beginning to be felt in the college
classroom as well, as students and
teachers alike are turning to the latest
"time-saving" mechanized toy of the
computer revolution-the mini-calculator.
A few years ago the only types of
electronic or mechanized calculators
available to the students weighed
anywhere from three hundred to a
thousand pounds anJ cost well up into the
thousands, thus making-owning one, and
carrying one to class, at the least,
considerably impractical Such is the
case no longer however as today the
mini-calculator has surged forth onto the
American market with a price that makes
it quite attractive and accessible to the
consumer.
Anywhere from ten to twelve
companies now produce their own models
of the "mini-whiz" as witnessed by the
incredible growth in its popularity and
the report of booming sales by retail
distributors this past Christmas. Its
convenient size, arithmetic precision, and
marked efficiency as compared to the
slide rule, make it the hottest-selling item
on the college campus
The mini-calculator is becoming such
BICYCLE PATHS to organize campus traffic are being studied by the SGA and geograpny classes.
Bicycle paths are planned here
By CAROLYN DAVIS
Initial plans for bicycle paths in
Greenville and on the ECU campus should
be completed by Feb. 21. according to
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer.
Two major path systems are now
under study in a two-fold class project for
winter and spring quarter The project is
by Dr. William Hankins of the planning
department in ECU's geography depart-
ment and the City Manager of Greenville.
W H Carstarphen.
As originator of the proposal,
Bodenhamer has placed SGA cabinet
member Bob Lucas in charge of arranging
plans for the paths.
"The paths will be dual lane 18 inch
asphalt strips for one travelling in each
direction said Bodenhamer
"It's just now gotten off the ground"
said Bodenhamer. "It'll be about three
more months before things can really
begin, because it's so expensive
The approximate cost of $75,000 to
$100,000 will be jointly financed by the
city of Greenville and SGA funds,
according to Bodenhamer.
This quarter's class study of the paths
will consider a route circling Greenville,
perhaps including the section of the new
264 by-pass behind women's dorms on
i ampus
Th- study will culminate next quarter
with .i concentration of an ECU path
v I'm resembling a wagon wheel and
centering around the new student union
with the main spoke near Joyner Library
According to the traffic department
there are approximately 1,395 bicycles
registered on campus. Bodenhamer esti-
mates there are 2.500 bicycles in use by
students for transportation
The paths will strive to organize this
transportation on campus.
"It'll help in getting to classes
Bodenhamer said, "but the main thing is
it'll organize transportation
The first concern of the ECU path will
be getting students to Mmges and Allied
Health and back to the main campus,
according to Bodenhamer.
This will be the first section of the
path to be completed.
"We're trying to move quick enough to
include it in the Charles Street project so
they can just expand the road 18 inches
on each side said Bodenhamer.
Since the bicycle traffic is so heavy
the paths should offer new directions for
cyclists.
"The law considers a bicycle as it does
any vehicle said Bodenhamer. "Legally
they can't be in that street in front of the
CU
This traffic along with that of the
hazardous section behind Austin will be
rerouted to an area behind the biology
building and Rawl where pedestrians
aren't so numerous, according to
Bodenhamer.
The paths will be the first step in
revamping the rules and regulations
concerning bicycle transportation on
campus.
More bicycle racks will be installed on
campus and cyclists will be expected to
follow parking and traffic regulations.
"They won't be patrolled, though
said Bodenhamer
These rules will be introduced for
organizational and safety purposes
To help protect the cyclists the SGA
will continue to offer bicycle insurance to
ECU students. Policies may be obtained
by contacting the SGAoffice.
a popular item that the December 17th
issue of Newsweek magazine reported
that on some compuses as much of 75
percent of the students in business,
science, and mathmatics own their own
calculators.
Now that they are becoming a more
commonplace aid to the student, many
questions have been raised by professors
and administrators alike as to the
significance of its role. Is it a tool, by
which the student may bypass the tedious
basic calculations of working a problem,
or is it a crutch upon which the student
relies to do most of the work and in doing
go become mentally lazy9 At this point
the questions are unanswered, yet the
arguments in favor of its use as well as
those against offer some interesting
insight into its practicality.
There are a number of reasons offered
by professors against its use in the
classroom Basically, they feel that it
becomes a tool upon which the student
comes to rely upon too heavily, thus
escaping the academic conditioning that
keeps one mentally sharp.
With this in mind a number of
institutions have forbidden their use by
the student, causing him to rely primarily
on a slide rule and a quick mind for the
answer. Another point in the controversy-
is whether or not calculators are fair to all
students, considering that some cannot
afford the luxury of owning one. This
brings us to the essential question-costs
The costs of mini or "pocket"
calculators, as they are popularly referred
to as. are as varied as the variety of
models presently offered, and may range
anywhere from sixty-five to four hundred
dollars depending on what the model
features. Since costs are essential, more
students are inclined to buy the less
expensive calculators, somewhere in the
sixty-five to one hundred dollar
category. These calculators are equipped
to handle most any basic math mat ical
problem including addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, square roots, and
square root keys. The cheaper models
can generally perform the more basic
mathmatical functions, lending merit to
the question of whether or not the
relatively small amount of work the less
expensive calculators do justifys the
expense of owning one
Certainly as any new innovative
product on the market, eventually the cost
should decline somewhat as they become
more prevalent. Until then, the student is
faced with deciding whether or not to
invest a considerable amount of money
into one-money that often is used to

Calculators
Continued from page one.
cover the expense of tuition and
textbooks.
Many students may find it impossible
to purchase a calculator and may not have
access to one on tests and final exams,
when speed and accuracy are so
imperative. This raises the question of
whether their use in class is ethical and
fair to students who simple do not have
the means to own one. To help alleviate
the problem somewhat many rerailers who
sell calculators also rent them for about
ten dollars a month.
There does not seem to be much
question about the feeling of students
and faculty of East Carolina toward the
use of the pocket calculator. A sample
survey of business and science professors
an udents failed to turn up one person
whw was significantly opposed to their
use. although some professors took a
mouified position in concluding that their
use should be confined only to homework
and exercises other than tests.
Tilton L. Wilcox, professor of finance
and financial management concluded that
their use is an inevitability:
"I very definitely encourage their use
by the student. I mean they are going to
use them when they get out into the
business world anyway. I think that even
high school students should be allowed
to use them as well
Wilcox further added, "If the student
can afford one I think he should be able to
use it. He only uses it to do the basic
calculations anyw?' By the time he has
reached this level ne certainly must have
learned how to work a problem without
one
In agreement along the same lines Dr.
Terrence McEnally, professor of physics
said, "The use of hand calculators seem
to be an increasing trend. We find them
more and more in science related areas as
well as business and economics. I think
they would probably be more useful to a
student involved in mathmatics, but many
are being used in laboratory work by more
advanced study
There is no question that calculators
cut out some of the "busy" work of
mathmatics, yet some of the more
expensive models come equipped with
memory banks, and more advanced
capabilities that theoretically reduce the
possibility of human error. Often their
success depends on the person using
them.
Dr. Tora M. Larsen, professor of
economics who favors their use in the
classroom suggested, "They certainly do
cut down on the tedious calculations, but
they are not error-proof, or should I say
the person using it is not error-proof, it
only gives back what you put into it. Just
because a student uses one doesn't mean
he or she isn't going to make a
mistake. As for whether it is fair form
some to have them and others not, I can
say I think the class should decide if they
want to be able to use them
In almost total agreement with their
professors, a number of business and
science students were contacted, and
most concluded that the use of the pocket
calculator is not an unfair advantage for
some students. Some did add however,
that they were hesitant as to whether they
should be allowed to use them on
examinations if other students did not
have the benefits of one.
Out of the many students in the
business and science departments there
were surprisingly few who owned their
own calculators. This may be due to the
relatively high expense of owning one, or
to the fact that they are a new product
wmmmmmmmmtmn
that is still rather scarce.
In Greenville there are a number of
businesses who carry pocket calculators.
Prices range anywhere from $69.95 to
$119.95 depending on what the model
features. Pair Electronics, Carolina Office
Supply and Taft Office Supply all carry
models in the $70.00 range, and even have
some as low as $59.00. More recently
some of the larger chain discount and
department stores have also begun to
stock calculators, anticipating a greater
surge in their populatiry.
There is only one place in Greenville
that rents calculators, Creech and Jones
Business Machines Inc. Unfortunately,
retailers warn of small supply and suggest
that prospective buyers call ahead to
check on their availability.
In choosing a calculator Consumer
Reports suggests that the buyer should
check the amount of time the machine
will hold a charge. Also important is
considering the ease in which its digits
can be read.
Perhaps it would be a bit premature to
attempt to evaluate the possible long
range affects mini-calculators may have
on our educational system, yet it is clear
some sort of reaction within the learning
process is inevitable,
Whether it aids the students by
reducing time spent on tedious basic cal-
culations or hinders by reducing the
thinking process remains to be seen. One
thing is for sure, the ramifications will
surely be far reaching. Far reaching
enough perhaps to change our whole
concept of education and the learning
process in the future.
One day perhaps the mini calculator
will take its place along side pen, paper
and blue books. Maybe someday as well
modem technology can ingeniously
devise some electronic miracle for the rest
of us not fortunate enough to be involved
in business or science-like a mini, pocket
size termpaper computer!

White Ball gives aid
By KATHY ROBINSON
Staff Writer
The annual White Ball Award will be
given Saturday, January 26, at halftime
during the ECU-VMI basketball game at
Minges. Each year the APOs sponsor this
event in order to raise money for the
rehabilitation of Pitt County Crippled
Children. Most important is that the
money raised stays within Pitt County.
All service clubs in the county are
urged each year to participate, but in the
past only the Greeks have worked. This
year is unique from past years in that the
workers are not allowed to solicit
donations from door to door. Instead,
they must seek contributions from
businesses and other organizations. The
group that raises the most money for the
project wins the award, and the girl thev
sponsor accepts the title of White B�. I
Queen.
This year Governor James Holshouser
will be present to crown the Queen.
Over the past three years, the Kappa
Sigma Fraternity has been the recipient of
this award and has donated over two
thousands dollars of community raised'
funds. This award carries prestige for the
very fact that it reveals the winner's desire
to help the community.
After the game and awards Saturday
night, there wilt be a reception at the
Ramada Inn for the top three finishing
organizations. Governor Holshouser will
be present to congratulate the workers.

Children of God
Youth cults prophesy certain doom
(CPS)Or9 aspect of the youth culture
which has been pointed to by some as a
sign of our crumbling times is the
proliferation of new beliefs, which offer
hope of salvation or peace regardless of
who runs the government, or what the
quality of life is for the average citizen.
Not the least of the new spiritual
groups is a group known as the Children
of God, founded in 1968 by a religious
visionary named David Berg, or Moses
David, as his followers call him. The
Children have established 165 colonies of
2-15 followers, each under the direction of
"elders" or "shepherds which help their
"sheep" live in harmony with the wok1 of
God.
The Children subscribe to an
increasingly elaborate system of religious
and political beliefs set forth by Moses
David in close to 300 pamphlets called
"Mo letters According to the Children's
belief, Moses David is the prohpet of
God-God tells Moses how it is and
Moses reports God's word. While each
individual is permitted to interpret the
meaning of the prophesies and doctrines
passed on, no one doubts the truth of
anything God says through Moses David.
The Children of God system is built
around the belief that within the next
generation, the end of the world will
occur. According to the scenario passed
down from Moses David, the capitalist
system and the United States will soon
begin a rapid decline, indicated by the
appearance of the Comet Kohoutek,
which will end in a terrible war. At that
point, the prophesy says, a strong leader
will emerge from Memphis, Egypt and
establish a government that will unite the
world into one nation. Unfortunately, the
new leader will eventually come to see
himself as a new messiah. This will fulfill
the prophesy of the book of Revelations
They want higher pay
that an antichrist will come to rule the
world, followed by the Second Comina
and what the Children refer to as the End
Times. The Children say they are
preparing themselves to be the leaders at
that time, showing the rest of the world
how to cope with Armageddon.
To that end, Children adopt a simple
life devoted to Bible study, prayer, and
"witnessing the process of telling others
about the state of impending doom and
what can be done. The answer, they say,
is to accept God through Jesus.
The Children accept that there are
other groups groping toward the life that
they see God as wanting everyone to
live. Unfortunately, one spokesperson
said, most of these other religions only
interested in Jesus, converts must go
through a two-week initiation period
during which they submit themselves
totally to the will of God and their
elders. It is possible to flunk out of the
Children at the end of this period, and
rejects must console themselves by being
an "associate" of the Children, entitled to
pass out literature and find some other
way to serve God.
Once admitted to the colony, members
donate their belongings to the Children
and are thereafter fed and clothed by the
sect. Each colony collectively assigns
tasks and budgets the time of all
members, and each individual is required
to conform to the dictates of the
understand "part of the truth and since
God doesn't like a "mixture of lies and
truth the Children see themselves as the
most effective carriersof God's word.
To become one of the Children is not
easy. "We don't just take any Tom, Dick
or Harry off the street one follower
reported. Prospective converts must be
18 years of age or older, unless they have
a notarized permission form to join from
their parents, mainly in response to
kidnapping charges leveled by parents of
some members and the famous
"deprogramming" efforts of Ted Patrick,
who has risen to national prominence for
his opposition to the Children and similar
groups.
In order to demonstrate that they are
"leadership material" and are sufficiently
I
group. Tasks are assigned according to
the needs of the colony and abilities of
the individual, the whole process being
overseen by the elder or elders.
An elder is a member who is "old in
the knowledge Women are generally not
permitted to be elders because o'Biblical
restrictions on women speaking in the
church. The exception seems to be that a
woman may be an elder if her husband
is. Such is the case with Miriam, an elder
in the Denver colony, but she admits that
her husband "pretty much runs things"
because "he knows more Women most
often have duties in the colony kitchens,
nurseries, and offices.
The members of each colony do nearly
everything together. They all rise at the
same time, have classes in the morning
taught by the elder, do chores at the same
time, and pray together. Part of the day
the colony sends out two or three member
teams to witness on the streets. Evenings
are spent in Bible study or crafts. A
member of the Children may be required
to memorize as many as 1000 biblical
passages, primarily from the King James
version.
There are some dropouts from
theChildren. According to Jeremy, who
lives in the Washington colony, some find
that the hard life of the Children is too
much, and they leave to find other ways
of serving God. Such people are referred
to as "graduates and they generally
remain affiliated with the Children in
some way although they no longer
participate in the lifestyle. Only a very
few, according to Jeremy, become
disillusioned enough to abandon their
beliefs entirely.
Above all, the Children are
patient. They know the End is coming,
and they care enough about their fellow
man to save as many as they can before
it's too late. Most of them seem
confident that it can be done.
Law students shun legal assistance
(CPS)-A vast majority of law students will
shun legal aid and social service practices
for high salaries and prestige positions,
according to a recent report in the
"Student Lawyer
The report was based upon a 1971
survey by Theodore Becker and Peter
Meyers, which investigated the notion
that most law students planned altruistic
careers.
Becker and Meyers, both law students
themselves, surveyed 3400 students from
the six Chicago area law schools.
Thirty-one percent of law students
responding would prefer to do some legal
aid work after graduation but few wished
to continue it throughout their
careers. Only 23 percent would prefer this
work after two years and only 13 percent
intended to remain in social service after
five years of practice.
A corresponding trend was seen in the
percentage f students who found legal
aid work unsatisfactory as a career. Thirty
one percent of those polled would reject
any legal aid practice upon graduation;
this number increased to 54 percent after
five years and 61 percent after 10 years.
The survey also had the students
identify their positions on the political
spectrum. Forty-seven percent of the
students classified themselves as liberals,
25 percent were moderate, approximately
8 percent said they were radicals and 8
percent conservatives. Very few students
placed themselves in either the
ultra-conservative or revolutionary ex-
tremes.
Of the 8 percent who labeled
themselves radical, 59 percent would
prefer legal aid work, compared with 39
percent overall. A greater proportion of
students who labeled themselves radicals
preferred legal aid work; 59 percent of the
radicals preferred it compared to 39
percent overall. Forty-nine percent of the
radicals said they would remain in legal
aid after years, 41 percent after four
years and 41 percent after 10 years.
Regarding salaries, the radicals were
not willing to sacrifice a lawyer's
traditionally high income, even while
performing legal aid services. Sixty-two
percent of the radicals hoped to make
$10,000 to $15,000 upon graduation,
another 21 percent wanted to earn $15,000
to $20,000; only 10 percent said they
would settle for less than $10,000. Radi-
cals wanted their salaries to increase with
experience: five years after graduation
only 24 percent would accept less than
$15,000; 33 percent wanted over $20,000
and 16 percent wanted salaries of over
$30,000.
Overall 66 percent sought an average
starting income of $10,000; only 6 percent
would settle for less than that
figure. Within 5 years almost three
quarters of the students wanted to be
earning over $20,000. Sixteen percent of
all students responding favored ceilings
on lawyers' salaries.
The office of public defender, Becker
and Meyer reported, offered a higher
income while offering lawyers a chance to
participate in legal aid work; but only 32
percent of the law students would enter
this field upon graduation; two years later
only 20 percent would find it
satisfactory. The figure diminished to 7
percent after five years.
The report suggested that lawyers
have traditionally been a conservative
force in America, because of the political
and economic stakes they hold in
maintaining the status quo.
Recalling an earlier questionnaire,
Becker and Meyers noted, "Despite the
generally moderate to liberal political
labels they adopted, the law student
indicated little inclination toward action
on issues of community improvement and
individual rights The report speculated
the reason many lawyers preferred legal
aid or public defender work upon
graduation was that a two year stint will
look good on their records, while allowing
them to obtain saleable skills and
experience useful in future searches for
more prestigious positons.
"It seems that the law students don't
really give a damn about social services
Becker and Meyer concluded in the
American Bar Association publication.

Kohoutek fails
to live up
to expectations
BY WILLIAM BATCHELOR
Staff Writer
Not since its discovery early this fall
has the comet Kohoutek lived up to its
exorbitant billing.
Many people were amazed and excited
when this century's "primary natural
wonder" was first reported. Kohoutek �
was seen heading into our solar system
o
X
o
through the distant constellation Hydra by
a professional asteroid observer.
Being so far away and yet so brilliant,
Kohoutek immediately became the object
of intensive study by scientists and
astronomers world-wide. Amateurs also
became fascinated by the possibilities of
viewing such a comet as Kohoutek and
consequently in many stores there
became a shortage of binoculars and
small telescopes.
But now the comet has circled the Sun
and on January 16 it was as close to Earth
as it would get, but regrettably it has not
become "as bright as Venus" nor has it
become visible to the naked eye.
The comet Kohoutek has become a
miserable let down. Dr. Floyd Mattheis of
the ECU Science Department onerea nis
theory as to why the comet had not lived
up to its reputation. "When the comet
passed behind the Sun something in its
internal composition might have changed
causing its development to stop and
possibly cool. Comets are known for their
unpredictable behavior
Don't give up though if you are still
hoping for a glimpse of the comet. This
week will probably offer the last chances
to see the comet.
In the early evening, on a clear night,
the comet can be seen in the southwest
sky just above Jupiter and to the left. It
will require the aid of binoculars or scope
to observe Kohoutek, which will appear as
a fuzzy star with a bright center. The tail
of the comet will be pointing straight up
and can be seen better if one focuses on a
star nearby.
Shaik!
The highly-questionable dining habits
of a shark were noted in Thomas Helm's
book "Shark Helm reveals that the
stomach of one blue shark contained (in
addition to the usual garbage and fish)
two soft-drink bottles, an aluminum soup
kettle, a carpenter's square, a plastic cigar
box, a screw-top jar partly filled with
nails, a two-cell flashlight, several yards
of 1 4 in. nylon robe, a rubber raincoat, a
worn-out tennis- shoe, and a three-ft roll
of tar-paper with 27 ft. of it still wound on
the spool.

No crisis for local clothing merchants
By CAROL WOOD
Staff Writer
Is Greenville a businessman's Utopia?
- apparently so. Several local merchants
stated that business has never been
better.
At a time when the rest of the world is
having a dilemma with increasing prices,
shortages and the energy crisis .Green-
ville merchants are thriving.
One could assume logically that the
energy crisis would bring about an
increase in the demand for warmer
clothing, for example, sweaters, fleecy
night-wear and socks, but not necessarily
a boom in business.
However, College Shop proprietor
Penny Smith, stated that business has
never been better. Ms. Smith said she
had to reorder warm sleepwear and fleece
robes. The store completely sold out of
these items during the holidays.
Ms. Smith said she has experienced
no shipping problems and "no price
increase
Helen Pope of Snooty Fox said that
selling was easier because of the
temperature. With seasonal temperatures
overlapping, it consequently makes the
selling seasons longer.
Ms. Pope stated that she has
experienced no shipping problems and no
price increase, rather a decrease in the
price of some items.
"The price of spring dresses will be
more in line with the price of slacks Ms.
Pope said. Most of her spring slacks will
be in the $12 - $14 - $16 range, rather than
the $14 - $16 - $18 range of spring '73.
Harris said the prices of wool, cotton
and polyester are increasing. He antici-
pates the price of a woolen suit for fall to
increase $10 -$20 per suit.
Country Vogue manager, Bobbi
Herbst, said business is steady, with no
problems in shipping and no price
increases.
Stith Harris of Proctors said they
could not "feel the effects" of the energy
crisis yet. Proctors buys a year in
advance, according to Harris, so it will be
next fall before the crisis has any
significant effect on them.
WVWW��
"Customers are buying more sweaters
and more outer wear Harris stated.
Harris estimated Proctors has sole 200
per cent more wool suits .customers
want a suit that will last longer.
Harold Arrowood of Headstrong said
he has experienced a general price
increase on cotton goods, but no
problems with shipping.
Soapparently Greenville is the
exception to the rule. But, is the more' of
the story to "buy all of your spring apparel
in Greenville"?

Dylan, man, if s Dylan
Charlotte Coliseum
January 17,1974
By BRANDON USE
Staff Writer
Bob Dylan's performance was
superb. The rank of superstar bestowed
on him is well deserved. The concert had
no mistakes, either from the performers or
the technical people who were heaoed by
Bill Graham. The crowd that paid $8.50 or
even the ones who paid scalper's prices
got their money's worth.
Dylan's voice was about the same as
in "Concert for Bangladesh except a
little deeper. The Band: Robbie Robert-
son, Rich Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard
Manuel, and Levon Helm, organized for
the 1966 Dylan tour were much more than
just a backup band for this tour, all
combined with Dylan for the excellent
music as opposed to come of the Muzak
which has been dumped on North
Carolina in-the last few years. Dylan and
The Band made the music all of the show
rather than relying on elaborate props and
gaudy show tactics to cover up the music.
We got to the Charlotte Coliseum
about an hour and a half before the show
to talk to people about Dylan. We
interviewed people that had come from
Knoxville, Tennessee, from Richmond,
Virginia, and from all parts of North
Carolina. Not many people over twenty-
five were to be seen at the concert, which
contrasted with reports of earlier
concerts. One girl was following Dylan's
tour, she had been in Washington the
night before and was getting ready to go
to Atlanta after the concert. When I asked
her why, ail she could say was "Because
it's Dylan, man, it's Dylan
Walking around the Coliseum, we
stopped in front of the performers
entrance door to see if we could see Bob
Dylan and The Band come in. Dylan's
whereabouts were the subject of four
main rumors. The first was that he was in
the Holiday Inn across the street from the
Coliseum. Number two was that he was
still in his plane at the airport. The third
one, was that Dylan was staying at the
home of a Charlotte rabbi, which was
probably based on the story that the tour
proceeds will be given to Israel. The last
rumor was that Dylan was staying in a
camper somewhere in Charlotte.
Bill Graham walked out the door,
looking very much like he did in the film
"Fillmore Knowing that he couldn't
resist questioning from a Fountainhead
reporter, I thought of the most intelligent
question I could, to let him know that I
was no average schmuck reporter. "How
are you, Mr. Graham?" I said hoping he
would not walk away. "Very tired right
now he replied. "Why did you pick
Charlotte for a stop on the tour?" I asked,
but as he was about to answer a huge
camper turned into the parking
lot. "Sorry, got to go he said as he ran
back inside the door.
ATTENTION DYLAN FREAKS: If you
ever see a camper with California license
plate 306-COC (with a Tweety Bird decale
on the back), there is your man. This
camper was one of those $10,000.00 plus
models and sitting in the very back,
motionless and expressionless, was Bob
Dylan. The camper drove right into the
Coliseum and the doors were shut behind
it.
On the way to the main entrance
scalpers were selling tickets from $20.00
up. A man walked up to the couple right
in front of us and offered them $100.00
apiece for their tickets. They declined and
we almost sold him ours, BUT THIS
WAS DYLAN! �
As we got to our seats Bill Graham
Dame on stage and said the concert would
oegin in a few minutes. He requested that
people keep the aisles clear and promised
a great show. The Coliseum went black
and then a harrage of red lights hit the
stage. Two members of The Band whaled
on and then Dylan, followed by the
remaining members of The Band. The
crowd was instantly on its feet, cheering
wildly. Dylan, dressed in black coat and
pants with a white shirt, strapped on his
Fender Telecaster and stood on the
Persian rug in front of his mikes. Then he
launched into the first song, promising
"You qo your way, I'll go mine
The next song was rocking version of
"Lay Lady Lay Following another song,
Dylan sang "Everybody Must Get Stoned
and during this song, many matches
flickered and a sweet smell arose from the
audience, many of whom hadn't waited
for this cue. After this song, Dylan wailed
out "It Ain't Me, Babe to a crowd that
instead of screaming and rushing the
front, had remained in their seats as
Graham requested, just soaking up
Dylan's songs. Dylan now moved to the
piano, where the crowd enthusiastically
responsed to the line, "There's somethin'
happenin' hereMr. Jones When this
song was over Dylan left the stage, to a
standing ovation.
The Bank remained on stage doing five
songs which included, "Stage Fright
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
"I Shall Be Released and "Up On Cripple
Creek Dylan then reappeared with a
hollow body Gibson electric (for you
interested guitar people) and did an
excellent version of "All Along the
Watchtower
Head guitarist Robbie Robertson
shared the spotlight with Dylan on this
song, and all of The Band must be
complimented for their outstanding
performance. Then they broke into
"Knockin" on Heavens Door" from the film
"Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid Inter-
mission was characterized by very limited
Frisbee flying and Hare Krishna
worshippers giving "gifts" of incense in
exchange for "contributions to the
cause Graham reappeared on the stage
and told the crowd that they were one of
the best so far on the tour.
The house lights went down again and
Dylan reappeared alone in the soft blue
stage lights, Martin guitar in hand and
harmonica around his neck. He sand "The
Times They Are A-Changin' "Don't
Think Twice, It's Alright "Gates of
Eden "Just Like A Woman (in a faster
version than Bangladesh), and ending
with a Nixon-pointed song, "It's Alright
Ma, (I'm Only Bleeding) All the songs
tmmm
were accompanied by narmonica and the
crowds stood applauding after every
song.
Dylan then left the stage, and The
Band came back and played four more
songs. Then Dylan came back on singing,
"Forever Young and a couple more
songs and finally played "Like a Rolling
Stone He put on dark glasses right
before this song, because during the song
with every "How do you feel more
house lights came on, until by the end,
the Coliseum was fully lighted. The
crowd had now rushed to the edge of the
stage as Dylan waved goodbye. Calls for
an encore, brought one from Dylan, which
surprised many people, because Dylan
had not been doing encores, in most past
performances. He left the way he started,
with the words "You go your way, I'll go
mine After this song he got into
California 306-COC and went his way, his
performance being everything you could
hope for.
Little Family
'a dean style'
COFFEEHOUSE REVIEW
By DALE R. CANUP
Staff Writer
Last Friday night, the second floor of
Wright Annex was suddenly brought to
life by a simple country family playing
not-so-simple music. The life brought to
the audience was not only that of
foot-stompin finger-tappin hand-
clappin' joy, but that of wonder,
amazement, and admiration for the Little
Family of Clairmont, N.C.
When the family walked on to the
stage, this writer, for one, did not know
what to expect. Their appearance and
easy-going, unplanned mannerisms
momentarily had the audience wondering
what the next two hours would bring. But
then young Donnie's fingers swept across
the strings of the 5 string banjo and set in
motion the vibrations that thrilled each
one of us in the audience for the rest of
the night.
Donnie Little, 14, has been playing the
5 string banjo since he was five years old
and proved that the last nine years of
practice had not, by any means, been in
vain. He demonstrated his adeptness of
the 5 string banjo in songs such as Mule
Kicker Blues, Foggy Mountain Break-
down, John Hardy, Military 5 String, and
many more banjo featured works.
This writer feels however, that young
Joel, 17, was somewhat sheltered from
the limelight. He proved to be a virtual
wizard on the violinfiddle (depending on
where you're from) and produced sound
from that little woodened instrument that
previously had only been produced by the
great songbirds of the woodlands. Those
of you who were there know what I mean.
The rest of the family, doing their
parts in back-up music and clogging
(Sharon 15, Anita 9, and Ned 6) all
provided a very clean, refreshing style of
entertainment that was welcomed by
students numbering 113 on Friday night
and 147 on Saturday night. And for those
who are not advocates of country
bluegrass music, I feel the show would
have been in itself worth attending if for
nothing else but watching the looks of
pride on the faces of two very proud and
happy parents while their children brought
smiles to their audience.
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank the Coffeehouse Committee for the
tremendous job they are and have been
doing in providing the students of ECU
with good entertainment. I personally
have seen every performance of the
Coffeehouse since December of last year
and have enjoyed each show thoroughly.
Most ECU students don't even know that
the Coffeehouse exists and I, for one, fee!
they're missing a hell-of-a-lot of good
professional entertainment at a wonder-
fully ridiculously low price.
"BAND ON THE RUN"
Paul McCartney and Wings
By BRANDON USE
Staff Writer
Paul McCartney and Wings' latest
effort, "Band on the Run has received
more favorable acclaim from critics than
any of his previous albums since the
Beatle breakup in 1970.
"Band on the Run" contains ten songs
that display the musical versatility which
he is known for. The title song consists
of two songs linked together. The first
half echoes on the desolation which rock
stars must face to keep away from their
over-exuberent fans. The second half is a
simple fantasy of a "Band on the
Run His latest single "Helen Wheels
which was inspired by "Helen" his Land
Rover, is another "Hi Hi Hi" of last year, a
nice rocker but not much of a progression
from "She Loves You
For melodic beauty, "Bluebird" and
"Mamunia" are probably the best cuts on
the album. These songs resemble
"Blackbird" and "Mother Nature's Son" of
the Beatle's White Album. "Mrs. Vande-
bilt the fourth song, has a heavy African
beat to it.
Technically the album is quite good
with the engineers even making Linda
McCartney's flat voice sound more than
passable on the record. Paul plays piano,
organ, synthesizer, bass, guitar and
drums, leaving flute and some guitar to
Denny Laine while bringing in Howie
Casey on Saxophone to replace the rather
simple guitar work that characterized the
past album. The last songs of that album
"Picasso's Last Words" and "1986" have
lines of previous songs skillfully mixed in
to give the same effect as on the second
side of "Abbey Road Tempo changes
and interludes give away to unmistakable
McCartney touch the listener. The front
cover is nine people caught in a prison
spotlight, which besides Paul, Linda, and
Denny, includes the actor James Cobum
(Our Man Flint), and Clement Freud,
grandson of Sigmund Freud the
psychologist.
Needless to say, the departure of
Henry McCullough, Wings' other guitarist
and Denny Seiwell, Wings' drummer
before this album was made has hardly
been missed by the remaining Wings or
fans.

-

(CPS)-The American' Association of
University Professors (AAUP) has issued m
larnng tenure quolasf a
' &PPf0aC,h t0 the Problems �
!Sd2!n n�' 8 thr6at t0 academic
The tenure quota system is a proposal
to establish a limited number of tenured
positions at a college or university, with
much of a school's faculty remaining
untenured and thus uncertain of a
position from year to year. The plan is
being openly considered by many
administrators across the country as a
means of giving colleges more felxibility
in determining staff size from year t
year, as a partial remedy to widespread
financial problems in higher education.
In its statement, the AAUP warned
tenure quotas could produce situations
where a nontenured faculty member,
however excellent he or she might be,
would not be able to obtain tenure
because of an arbitrary quota.
"Foreclosing promotion to a tenured
position because of a numerical quota is
unacceptable the AAUP statement
declared. "Establishing fixed quotas may
deprive the profession of a large part of a
generation of scholars and teachers
which currently populates the nontenured
positions at our colleges and univer-
sities
AAUP suggested a gradual approach
to the problem by tightening standards for
tenure over the years, which would cut
down the proportion of tenured professors
at colleges, but would not completely
close the possibility of tenure to any one
person arbitrarily. It also pointed out that
the general proportion of faculty on tenure
at an institution can have an important
long range bearing on the nature and
quality of the school.
Whether or not its suggestion of a
gradual increase in tenure standards is
acceptable, the AAUP insisted that
whatever solution is formulated to the
problems of limited growth and financing,
the burdens of the situation should be
"shared to some extent by all academic
generations

inflation and unemployment increase, so
does the attraction of a temporary paying

Re: Woman
To Fountainhead:
With no malice in my heart toward
N.M. Jorgensen, I state what Ralph Waldo
Emerson stated over 100 years ago, "a
foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of
little minds
With no disrespect for the mother of
six, I still find it necessary to say that
after six children, years of changing
diapers, potty training, screaming infants,
sitz baths, cooking meals, changing beds
and waxing floors, she had better for her
own moral and emotional satisfaction find
justification for those years. If she were
to admit that they had been spent in vain,
she could never be at peace with herself.
This is not to discount the importance
of motherhood in society. Someone has
to have the babies and to that extent,
"biology is destiny But where does it
say that having babies and being wives
are women's only roles? Would you waste
half the intellect and potential of a
society? I have never seen the
assignment sheet with God's signature at
the bottom stating:
Women: Wives and mothers
Men: Providers
I have instead seen a Bible which was
written by men (women were at this time
denied the right to an education) who, not
being able to escape their culture,
relegated to women a secondary
citizenship and to themselves more power
than they have been able to handle.
The highly respected sociologist,
Talcott Parsons, states "it is quite clear
that in the adult feminine role there is
quite sufficient strain and insecurity so
that widespread manifestations are to be
expected in the form of neurotic
behavior

More response
To Fountainhead:
I am writing in response to N.M.
Jorgensers letter on the woman's place
(Jan. 22, 1974).
Mr. Jorgensen says:
Women who seek to "free" themselves
from the assignment God gave them, as
wives and mothers charged with rearing
the next generation in good character and
righteousness, fail to understand their
true destiny.
In all respect to Mr. Jorgensen's male
ego, I hate that statement. I think Mr.
Jorgensen ignores the basic HUMAN right
of individuality. The destiny of ALL
women is not to be wives and
mothers. For most wives and mothers
marriage and children are an important
part-but only a part-of life.
If the woman's only "place" is the
home, then as a woman ho is getting a
college education and trying to expand
my horizons beyond domestic territory
and safety pin security, I've already
flunked "the assignment I can only say
I'm glad God also gave free will and

To Fountainhead: a reply to John O.
Mentha, Grad. Student, Dept. of Physics
Subject: Exceptional Children
Dear John,
On the surface, your concern
regarding the definition of exceptional
children seems to be one of "status
"classification "categories of identifi-
cation and "distinction Or,
SUPERIOR vs. INFERIOR.
I do not wish to quarrel with your
"ethical convictions no statement of
mine could equal your eloquent
presentation. (You might be "elevated" to
know that I referred to the American
Heritage more than once as I translated
your letter.)
But I would like to suggest to those
disgusted by your surface concern (as I
am) that perhaps the harsh implications of
your letter-that mentally and physically
disabled persons are somehow lower, or
less valuable than the intellectual
elite-are indicative of a deeper, and
justified concern: I sense that you might
have been the target of "subtle
subversionattempts to make you adhere
to the standard conformity. I "hear" hurt
in your words, and I am sorry withfor
you.
I hope that your hurt and rage will not
prevent you from "association with" some
beautiful people. We may have more to
learn from "little" minds than we
suspect They are top instructors in
matters of the heart.
Sincerely,
Patty Burke

To Fountainhead:
Concerning "About Children" by John 0.
Mentha.
Contrary to your belief that "the-
classification of exceptional children" is
representative ot tne iacK or essential
ethical conviction and value judgement
ability on behalf of those individuals
associated with the formation of "the
Student Council for Exceptional Children"
there is a good reason for these
individuals to be classified as Exceptional
Children. In the Education Department
this title means these children need special
attention or Special Education. The
classification does not direct itself toward
forcing these children to be normal. Spe-
cial Education is the means of
"individualizing" education. The girted
need special education. It has been
proven that the regular classroom tends to
bore this individual and turn him away
from his natural abilities. "Special
Education" is directed toward the
individual. As the years pass on the
Education Department will probably see
an increase in Special Education because
of the realization that each person is an
individual and should be treated as
such. However, that dream of individuali-
zation can not come through until we
recognize that there is no "normal" or
"average" real person. The standards of
normal persons are made in order for us
to better understand how people
(generally) develop.
Please do not think that the education
system or we "concerned students"
honestly believe that the gifted have an
intrinsic defect which must be bred
out .the fact that they are superior and
do not conform to current social
standards labeled normal. Please try to
understand that the label exceptional
children helps us to recognize this gifted
child as an individual who we wish to
keep turned on.
Thank you for your time. We at the
SCEC have much more information for
you if you're interested. Please contact
us, (maybe just to talk).

SCEC responds
To Fountainhead:
In response to John Mentha's recent
letter to the Forum concerning a technical
aspect of our campus Student Council for
Exceptional Children (SCEC) I would like
to further clarify our position as an
organization.
The SCEC was devised to provide
college and university students with an
opportunity for professional development,
our ECU chapter has determined to be a
service organization of students involved
in providing opportunities for all
exceptional children. To quote Professor
Samuel A. Kirk in his derivation of
meaning from the statement 'All men are
created equal "equality of opportunity
implies educational opportunity for all
children-the right of each child to receive
help in learning to the limits of his
capacity, whether that capacity be small
or great
We must not label, classify or
segregate persons according to diction-
mankind itself. We are responsible to, as
well as for ourselves and both "essential
ethical convictions and value judgement
abiility" should be directed toward the
fullest development of all human
potential. Rather than declaring what
must be good or bad, or attempting to
identify the concept of normalcy we must
look upon all persons with favor simply
' for being.
A major goal of SCEC is to become
involved at many levels (campus and local
community to nationwide) with the
advancement and education of all
exceptional persons. Inevitably this in-
volves providing others with information
about current trends, views and use of
terms in this area.
There have been many developments
in the area of education in recent years,
reflecting the great changes in society's
attitudes toward the exceptional person.
We are unable to account for
condemnation of any individual or neglect
of any person's potential. Our SCEC is
organized to encourage and become
involved with positive all changes.
Sincerely,
Sarah Mickey

Scruggs review
To Fountainhead:
When I read the reviews in the Jan. 22
issue of Fountainhead, I was amazed.
Never have I seen a more blatant display
of narrow minded writing. The two
reviews (written by a Miss Patsy Hinton)
about The Prisoner of Second Avenue and
The Earl Scruggs Revue were as backward
as could possibly be.
To begin with, Miss Hinton praised the
performance of The Prisoner of Second
Avenue as being "superb" and
"sensational I disagree. I found annoy-
ing faults in Imogene Coca's performance
which greatly detracted from the show. A
substantial number of her lines were said
to the back wall and her actions and
speech patterns were monotonously
repeated almost mechanically as if she
were a robot. I tend to believe that the
three siters, who were third ratf actors,
were there as an attempt to make Imogene
Coca look good. I didn't work very well.
King Donovan was by far the star of
the show. How Miss Hinton failed to
perceive this is beyond me.
Miss Hinton went on to give another
inaccurate account of the Earl Scruggs
Revue concert.
Being very familiar with the type of
music and being on the stage crew for the
show, I feel that Miss Hinton is wrong
again.
Not only did she praise the
amateurish, unpolished performance of
the Flatland Family Band, but she also
gave unbiased, hogwash comments about
Earl Scruggs and his music.
The Flatland Family Band mercilessly
murdered song after song and even had
the audavity to make feeble attempts at a
couple of Earl's famous numbers.
Also, Miss Hinton's comments about
crowd reaction were off target. Why
would a crowd demand a double encore if
ary definitions. We cannot afford to ever
become rigid in our views of and attitude they were disappointed In Earl s music?
towards individuals. It is inappropriate to
refer to individuals as accidents and
dregs, just as it is impossible for
someone to define universally what which
is productive, good or bad, ethical or even
rational. The liability of mankind to

About the Forum
We were rather gratified to receive responses to two letters which ran in this past
uesday's Fountainhead. Both responses to the "exceptional child" letter - which
laintained that gifted and disabled children should not be placed in the same category
are, we feel remarkably eloquent. We side with Ms. Burke that "We may learn more
om 'little' minds that we suspect The article printed below, taken from "Saint's
Jive a musical, should give some insight. Somehow, we feel that understanding is
ir more important than categorization.
Second, we are equally gratified to have received supportive response re: the fact
iat women are capable of being more than mothers if they so desire. While both
rtters on this topic state their cases clearly, we'll add this editor's opinion that, while
ome persons praise creation via childbirth, many others prefer to develop talents
istead. And since intelligence, talent and free will all come from the same God who
reated motherhood, we see no reason why the first three are any less sacred than the
ist. If they are, obviously God made a massive error in giving anyone of either sex any
Be will at all - we should have been pre-programed to reproduce, act submissive (or,

Look at this! A tree, a fish, a cake of

mad when she asked me the questions all

could. I've got lots of answers-but they
always seem to fit the wrong

all the time so what's the use of leamin' a
lotta things today when maybe they won't
even be true by tomorrow? I know heaps
of things that Mss Brown doesn't
know-like where to find a bird's nest, and
how to fix a leaky pipe, and what the
baseball scores are. She has to send for
the janitor when the lights go out or a
window shade tears. I can do lots of
things if I don't have to read how in a
book first.
Sure, I'm glad I'm in the special
class. I get lots of attention. Seems like
if you're what they call "normal" they just
leave set, but if you're awful smart or
awful dumb, they do a lot for you in
school.
I heard the school psychologist-that's
the man that comes in just before
promotion time and tells the teachers that
they're not promotin' us-he told Miss
Brown it was on .account of my
grandfather and the rest of my
ancestors. She said wasn't it kind of late
to do anything about it now, and he said
it was, but I must have the proper training
so I'd be a good ancestor.
Gosh, I don't wanna be no
ancestor. I'm goin'ta be a plumber!

Supboenasand frills
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - The powerful
House Ways and Means chairman, Wilbur
Mills, has been promising tax reforms for
two years. In 1972 and again in 1973, he
promised to make this his first priority -
next year.
Two next years have now come and
gone without any noticeable improvement
in the tax laws. On the contrary, each
Christmas during the scramble to adjourn,
new tax benefits hace been hung on the
Christmas tree for the special interests.
Each new benefit has cost the rest of the
taxpayers a few more million dollars.
But now the taxpayers are up in
arms. They have discovered that Presi-
dent Nixon paid no more taxes on a
$250,000 annual income than an ordinary
worker with the same size family pays on
a $7,500 income. Other millionaires are
using loopholes and shelters to avoid
paying their fair share of the taxes.
The oil companies, for example, are
paying only token takes in the United
States on soaring profits. Some of the oil
giants get away with a tax rate less than
three per cent, compared to 50 per cent
for other corporations.
Probably no other group in America
collects more benefits from Uncle Sam
and passes out more favors to politicians
than the unbelievably wealthy oil barons.
We were able to trace $5 million from oil
sources into President Nixon's re-election
campaign. Millions more went to
congressional candidates, including
members of the House Ways and Means
Committee which writes the tax laws.
The little taxpayers don't have the
money to make big campaign contribu-
tions. But they have the votes. Now they
are letting their congressmen know their
votes this year will go to those who fight
tax reforms.
Impeachment Deadline: House Judi-
ciary Chairman Peter Rodino has privately
assured House Republican leader John
Rhodes that the presidential impeachment
inquiry should be concluded in April. My
own check with committee members and
staffers indicates Rodino will have trouble
meeting that deadline.
The committee hasn't yet obtained the
special subpoena powers necessary to
secure important evidence. Meanwhile,
committee sleuths have been spending
their time studying the work of other
investigations. Little or no independent
digging has been done.
In some cases, documents tui.ied up
by other committees haven't even been
requested by the Judiciary staff. Some of
Rodino's investigators have been passing
the time playing cards.
In order to meet the tentative April
time schedule, the staff would have to
complete all of the necessary background
work during the month of February. Hear-
ings would have to begin no later than
March, with the conclusion in April.
Realists on the committee doubt that a
verdict can be reached in April. The
timing, they say, will depend on how
much independent investigating the
committee staff can complete. Chairman
Rodino, meanwhile, is more committed to
a thorough investigation than a tentative
deadline.
Professional Amateurs. The public
will probably never learn the whole story
mm
mm
behind the whistles, rattles and hums on
the Watergate tapes. The President's
spokesmen and lawyers have tried to give
the impression that people in the White
House are amateurs at tape recording.
But there is evidence that the White
House communications experts are far
too professional to have produced the
garbled mess they eventually turned over
to the courts.
We recently reported, for example,
that the White House is preparing to
spend $200,000 for a recording system to
tape the crooners and comedians who
appear in the East Room. The
specifications provided to bidders were
prepared by the President's communi-
cation men. These specifications are
incredibly detailed arid highly sophisti-
cated.
Nearly two years ago, Nixon's
communications men installed a sophisti-
cated sound system in hangar six at
Andrews Air Force Base, where the
President's plane is kept. Contractors
worked around the clock to get the job
finished before Nixon returned from his
Moscow trip. They built a completely
portable, highly professional loud speaker
system - complete with back-up units -
and they did it virtually overnight. (Inci-
dentally, it cost the taxpayers $70,000.
Yet Nixon didn't use it when he arrived
home from Russia.)
Every other sound system the White
House has constructed, in short, works
perfectly well. Why, then, do the
Watergate tapes reveal little more startling
that the clatter of the President's coffee
cups?
Too Many Frills: There has been an
almightly howl from the Pentagon about
the need for more millions to meet the
rising cost of defense. Ominous warnings
have been issued that the Soviets are
overtaking us in strategic power.
But a comparative study of the
American and Soviet military budgets
shows that a far greater share of the U.S.
expenditures goes for frills. Most Soviet
soldiers are combat troops. Most
American soldiers are engaged in
providing services to make military life
cozy.
The U.S. armed forces have also
become top-heavy with brass. The
number of flag officers has actually gone
up, as the number of fighting men has
gone down. At the height of World War il,
a mere 20 four and five star generals and
admirals cornmanded a total military force
of over 12 million men. Today, the armed
services have 39 generals and admirals of
this rank commanding only t0 million
men.
The brass hats complain over cutbacks
in missiles, planes, ships and tanks. But
they scream much louder over cutbacks in
their chauffeur-driven cars, golf courses,
swimming pools, club facilities and other
privileges.
The loudest howl has been over the
squeeze on military fuel. This is vital,
they say, for national security. Yet the
generals and admirals continue to be
driven and flown around in government
cars and planes.
They also don't mention one of the
chief causes of the oil shortage. During
the height of the Vietnam bombing, our
B-52s alone guzzled nearly two-and-a-half
million gallons of fuel a day.

Home Ec 'restaurant' has
student planned meals
By SUSAN OUINN
Staff Writer
"The Home Economics dining hall is a
place where students can actually manage
a restaurant said Dr. Alice Scott,
professor of dietetics at ECU.
Home Economics 328, a quantity
foods course, is a required course in the
department of Food Nutrition and
Institutional Management, Dr. Scott
explained.
"The course allows students to plan
menus, prepare and purchase food as well
as serve and clean-up under the
supervision of a faculty member, Mrs.
Elizabeth Schmidt she continued.
One student each week is in charge of
planning nutritionally balanced and
economical menus and buying all of the
food supplies needed to serve
approximately 100 plates.
Jill Wagoner and Janet Barbee,
students of the quantity food course,
explained that students take turns filling
the ten positions of the dining hall
staff: manager, who plans the menu,
buys the food and assigns duties;
assistant manager who serves as hostess
and cashier; head cook, who cooks the
main course; assistant cook, who helps
the head cook; bus boy, two waitresses,
dessert cook, salad cook, and baker.
"It's just exactly like a restaurant
said Mrs. Wagoner. "Our dining hall
serves 50 guests, cafeteria-style on
Wednesdays and dining room style on
Thursdays she continued.
The dining room is in room 120 of the
home economics building. The red
carpeted room contains 15 tables that
seat four people each.
The class serves lunch from 12 noon
to 12:30, plates are $1.35 and guests
must call 758-6917 for reservations by 11
a.m. Wednesday or Thursday.
"I think it's a great experience. You
get to know the viewpoint of all positions
of the staff of a restaurant said Miss
Barbee.
She explained that you get to know the
feelings and pressures of the dishwasher
and waitress as well as the manager.
Miss Barbee further explained that the
meals are seasonal, considering avail-
ability of seasonal foods, and well
balanced nutritionally-always containing,
bread, meat, a vegetable, salad, dessert,
and tea or coffaa
The dining hall's sanitation grade level
is frequently checked and must maintain.
the strictest grade "A "We even wear
hair-nets Miss Barbee said.
"Our menus are planned by market
conditions and because the dining hall is
totally self-sufficient, a manager must be
careful in planning and buying said Mrs.
Wagoner.
She explained that the class is not
allowed to buy in quantities so they check
the newspaper grocery advertisement
bargains each week and buy accordingly.
Each plate must cost under 55
cents. Suppplies are bought and student
laymen or dishwashers are paid out of the
remaining 80 cents per plate cost.
Comment cards are placed on each
table of the dining room so that
customers may give helpful criticisms and
suggestions. Most comments have been
favorable but the guests are frank and do
express their likes and dislikes such as
"to much salt" or "too little dressing �
Menus are posted in the dining room
and on official bulletin boards across
campus. Old fashioned beef stew, bake
cello ham, and chicken marengo are some
of the main dishes to be served within the'
next two weeks. The dining hall wili
feature calorie conscious lunch menus in
February.

College Entrance exams
new scores are lower
STUDENTS ARE TAKING advantage of the unseasonably warm weather by taking
books outside to study-
By CURT KOEHLER
(CPS)College-bound students who took
the College Entrance Examination Board's
(CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
last year scored "markedly lower" in both
verbal and mathematical ability than the
seniors of 1971-72, the CEEB reported in
December.
The board also reported that students
with higher family incomes tended to
score higher on the aptitude tests and
that women, though receiving higher
academic grades than men, expressed
lower educational and career goals than
their male counterparts. These and other
findings were the result of the CEEB's
annual survey of more than one million
college-bound high school seniors called
the "National Composite College Bound
ATP (Admissions Testing Program)
Summary Report
Mean scores on the verbal part of the
test fell from 453 for the 1971-72 seniors
to 445 last year. The mean score on the
mathematics dropped from 484 to
481. The drop continues a ten year trend
that has seen the mean score on the
verbal test fall 33 points and the
mathematical score fall 21 points. The
board said successive forms of the SAT
are "carefully equated" to insure that SAT
scores have the same meaning from year
to year.
"The most immediate conclusion that
people are drawing is that students are
being less adequately prepared said Dr.
T. Anne Cleary, chief of the board's
program services division. "We have no
evidence to support that at all. The total
drop over a period of time has not been
very large, but it has been consistent, and
Kohoutek Tizzies' out
(CPS)-The comet Kohoutek has proven to
be somewhat of a disappointment for
many people this winter; predictions of a
spectacle fifty times brighter than Halley's
Comet proved to be premature, and
Kohoutek has been difficult if not
impossible for most people to see.
Scientists were not disappointed. De-
spite its dimness, Kohoutek has given
them reams of data which once
assimilated should reveal more secrets
about the physical nature of the universe.
A third group of people have also
found Kohoutek to be of maximum
significance. To these people, the comet
is an omen of bad, even catastrophic
times ahead.
Foremost among this group are the
Childen of God, whose spiritual leader,
Moses David, sees the comet as a
warning of the impending destruction of
the United States, the start of a chain of
events which will lead to ihe Second
Coming of Christ.
Prophets of doom have existed even
longer than Christianity, but the
predictions of the Children and the idea of
Kohoutek being an indicator of the
pending and inevitable doom is catching
on with many devoutly religious
people. One of the primary reasons for
this is that many prophesies concerning
conditions prior to the end of the world in
the Bible currently exist.
According to the Bible, the end has
been possible ever since the establish-
ment of the Jewish state of Israel,
predicted in the book of Mark as the
beginning of a traumatic period. Other
events predicted to follow the establish-
ment of the Jewish state have already
occurred. Scholars note the international
conditions that make the earth ripe for
destruction include constant "rumors of
wars" (Matthew 24:6), hellish instruments
of war (Joel 2:3-5), earthquakes (Matthew
24:7and increasing world conflicts
accompanied by pestilence and famino
(Matthew 24:7 and Isaiah 13:4-5).
Specifically, the Children view the
Comet as a warning of events to begin at
the end of this month. Though they are
not certain what these events will be,
collapse of the economic system, an
energy panic, or a war, it is nonetheless
the beginning of the "collapse of
America leading eventually to the
establishment of a one world government
ruled by the antiChrist, followed by the
Second Coming and the purification of
the earth by fire. Moses David theorizes
that this will occur in 1986, coincident
with the next appearance of Halley's
Comet.
The Children maintain that Halley's
Comet has often brought bad times in its �
appearances throughout the centuries,
hailing such events as the Crusades, the
Magna Carta, Genghis Khan, establish-
ment of the Order of St. Francis, the
Renaissance, the Great Black Plague of
Europe, the Reformation, the discovery of
the new world, the rise of America, and
most recently World War I. In addition the
Great Comet of 1882 appeared within
about a year of two men "upon whose
�'
vM
teachings both the fate and the faith of a
Godless world now hangsCharles
Darwin and Karl Marx.
Such ideas have caused a lot of people
some worry. Enough congresspeople
were bombarded with mail on this subject
that the Library of Congress was recently
ordered to do painstaking research on the
historical effects of comets. Evidence
was found that appearances of comets
historically are accompanied by concern
and even panic over the significance of
the comet's appearance or proximity to
earth, as is the case now. The last time
Halley's Comet passed in view, the earth
swept through its tail and many hid in
cellars and caves because the tail was
supposed to ignite all the hydrogen in the
atmosphere. After extensive study, the
Library concluded there is no correlation
between comets and large scale tragedy.
Another school of thought advanced
by, among others, the incarcerated Tim
Leary, is that the comet is a signal of
impending communication with earth by
extraterrestial beings. Other theories sail
off into the depts of human imagination.
However, the ultimate reaction to
Kohoutek seems to be centered in Duluth,
Minnesota. A group there called the
"Stop the Comet Citizen's Action Group"
is so upset bv the possible disastrous
implications of Kohoutek that they have
asked the government to shoot it down
with a Saturn 5 rocket. The last time this
comet was here, the group's newletter
explains, it caused the extinction of all
dinosaurs.
n � mmmm
because it has been consistent, it is
interesting Cleary said.
The drop in test scores has produced a
rash of possible explanations - for
example, the extensive television viewing
has had a negative impact on students'
reading ability - but no conclusive
answers. Cleary said two specific shifts
in testing patterns have occurred: more
students are taking the tests as juniors,
and fewer students are taking them more
than once. She termed any explanations
after these as "speculative
One possible explanation is linked to
the increasingly broadened socio-econo-
mic background of the college-bound as
higher education opens its doors to more
and more poor and minority students.
Historically, minority and low-income
students do not do as well on
standardized tests as middle-class
whites.
The board profile relating family
income to SAT score tends to bear out
this thesis. The average family income of
those with scores between 750 and 800
was $22,425, compared with $15,240 for
those scoring between 400 and 499, and
with $7,659 for those scoring below
250. Cleary said, however, that the
relationship was "far from perfect" in
specific cases because significant
numbers of students from each income
group perform well on the tests.
Another possible explanation relate?
to the changing nature of traditional
education - that there may have been a
decrease in "academic discipline" in
learning basic skills over the years. "Stu-
dents write less in high schools since
'mini-courses' or 'relevant' courses in film
or astrology or social sciences have
displaced the basic disciplines said
Richard Mall, Bowdoin College Director
of Admissions.
Terming some of the students
admitted to his college "functional
illiterates a Bowdoin professor said,
"We get too many flower children from
Scarsdale who aren't taught anything, at
home or in school. They're the culturally
deprived ones. They can't do anything
except maybe weave baskets
A third explanation posited by Time is
that spiralling tuition fees and a growing
disaffection for higher education may be
discouraging able and thus high-scoring
students from applying to colleges that
require SATs.
Overall, the optional nature of the test
and the variables of increasingly varied
nationwide curricula and college-bound
have prompted one board official to term
the tests and surveys "a statistician's
nightmare What is clearer, however, is
the discrepancy between scored achieve-
ment and career goals of men and
women.
In each of six measured areas�Eng-
ligh, mathematics, social studies, foreign
languages, physical sciences, and
biological sciences-the average high
school grade for men was lower than the
average grade for women. At the same
time, more than half the women planned
to seek only a bachelor's degree. Similar-
ly, over twice as many women as men
said they planned to seek only a two year
degree.
The Board reported, "With respect to
their intended fields of study, nearly half
of the females chose education, nursing
and social studies as their first choice.
while more than half of the males chose
biological sciences, business, engineer-
ing and social studies

Farmer makes oil from manure
While the rest of us shiver through the
coming months and worry about gasoline
rationing, at least one Indiana farmer
plans to be cozy this winter without using
any fuel oil at all.
Richard Shuttleworth, of Redkey,
Indiana, has constructed and is now
operating an ingenuous device that simply
and automatically transforms ordinary
cow manure into "homemade fuel oil" and
'homemade gasoline" with which he can
run an automobile engine, power a gas
stove, fuel lamps, operate a gas
refrigerator, and fire a space heater.
According to the Mother Earth News,
Shuttleworth has built a methane
generator, a large composting unit that
turns organic waste of any kind-plant,
animal or human-into nitrogen-rich
fertilizer and methane gas. Methane is
the major component of the natural gas
that is commonly used to heat houses
and fuel industrial processes.
The idea is actually an old one that
has been used extensively in fuel poor
countries such as India for a number of
years. Until Shuttleworth put together his
Officers
are free
to search
(CPSLNS)-The Supreme Court, voting 6
to 3, ruled on December 12 that law
enforcement officials can search indivi-
duals arrested and that any incriminating
evidence, whether it relates to the original
arrest or not, is admissable in court.
According to the New York Times,
"the decision appears to empower any
policeman to search any suspect he has
taken into custody for any kind of
completely unconnected incriminating
evidence, even if the original offense was
so insignificant that he could have given
the accused a ticket instead
The court ruled that once the police
have an individual in "lawful custodial
custody" they do not need to justify
searches in pockets, collars, trousers
waist-bands and socks as authorized by
standard police regulations. Custodial
custody means that the individual must
be placed under arrest as opposed to
being given a ticket.
In addition, the court ruled that the
police officer need not fear for his own
personal safety to proceed with the
search. That was the guideline under
which controversial "stop-and-frisk
legislation was passed a few years ago.
In a concurring statement to the
majority statement by William Rehnquist,
Lewis Powell, also a Nixon appointee,
said, "an individual lawfully subjected to
custodial arrest retains no significant
interest in the privacy of his person The
Fourth Amendment to the Constitution
bars "unlawful search and seizure
Four Nixon appointees to the court,
Rehnquist, Powell, Burger and Blackmun,
were joined in the majority decision by
"swing" justices Stewart and White. The
dissenters were Justices Douglas,
Brennan and Marshall. Marshall, in his
dissenting opinion noted that the ruling
"raised the possibility that a police
officer, lacking probable cause to obtain a
search warrant, will use a traffic arrest as
a pretext to conduct a search "
unit, however, little of practical value had
been done with the concept in the
U.S. Now that a working generator has
shown that it can produce usable
quantities of high-grade fuel on a Hoosier
cattle spread, though, it might not be
long before a sizable number of U.S. and
Canadian consumers start clamoring for
the commericial marketing of digesters.
At a recent press demonstration on the
Shuttleworth farm, a throng ate eggs that
were freshly fried on a gas stove fueled by
methane and enjoyed soft drinks and beer
cooled in a methane-fueled gas
refrigerator. A gaslight, a small space
warmer, and a water heater, all powered
by methane, were also displayed.
The star of the show was a 1948
Chevrolet automobile engine mounted on
a portable welder. Shuttleworth started
the powerplant once on regular gasoline
just to prove that the engine was stock
and had in no way been modified. He
then started and ran the engine several
times on methane piped directly from the
waste digester through a length of
oridinary garden hose. The spectators
could clearly see the methane generator's
collection "bonnet" slowly lower as the
vapors inside were fed to the internal
combustion powerplant.
The appropriate questioning of the
actual physical and economic practicality
of the device was answered by L. John
Fry, a former South African pig farmer
who was flown in for the session. Several
years ago, Fry designed and built one of
the bio-gas plants on his 1,000-head pig
farm south of Johannesburg. The
installation cost approximately $10,000.
While his installation costs were
clearly high. Fry harvested more than
$16,000 worth of methane gas from waste
produced by his livestock in just the first
six years. In addition, he estimates that
he saved approximately $20,000 in manure
handling costs and he reaped an
additional windfall of nitrogen-rich
fertilizer worth at least another
$20,000. So on his initial $10,000
investment, Fry estimates he received
$56,000 or more in return during the first
six years.
On hearing Fry's story, one farmer in
the Indiana crowd reported that he runs a
5,000 head cattle and hog feedlot. "The
government just made me spend $25,000
to build a settling pond for all the waste
those animals produce. That's money
never see againbut if I'd put that
$25,000 into one of the composting units,
I'd more than get it back every two years
"We've already simplified the unit's
design considerably and almost any
average home craftsman should be able to
build one of the generators stated
Shuttleworth's son, John.
"We may even make a tie-in with one
or more manufacturers during the next
few months and, if we do, you'll be able
to purchase a prefabbed digester than can
be installed on a farm, in an apartment
house, or in a home's utility room as
easily as you now install central air
conditioning. The unit will operate just as
automatically too. The waste you flush
away or pour down the kitchen disposal
today will be the gas that fuels your range
or powers your yard lamp-at no
cost-next week
A representative of the U.S. Bureau of
Mines has already trekked to the Hoosier
farm to see homemade methane in action
and at least two delegations of gas
industry representatives have tested the
fuel brewed from cow manure. When
questioned about the flame produced by
the Indiana farmer's bio-gas plant, one of
the gas company officials said, "It's a
hotter blaze than you'll get from the

'Great decisions'
Current issues program starts
Many ECU faculty members have
expressed interest in helping "Great
Decisions" groups by appearing for one or
more of their discussions and acting as
resource persons to answer questions and
participate in discussion at the group's
request.
ECU is eastern North Carolina's
coordinator for the program. Last year the
Foreign Policy Association judged the
area's program as the most improved in
the nation. The North Carolina "Great
"Great Decisions -1974 a program of
discussions of current issues, will be
sponsored by ECU's Division of
Continuing Education again this year.
The program is offered by the Foreign
Policy Association, a private non-profit
and non-partisan organization which
works to develop through education an
informed and articulate American public
opinion on major issues in world affairs.
The basic requirement for involvement
in the program is at least five interested
persons to agree to meet once a week for
eight weeks and discuss the topics
covered in this year's "Great Decisions"
booklet.
Topics include Western Europe and
the U.S the President vs. Congress, the
Soviet-American Detente, Cuba and the
Panama Canal Zone, the Energy Crisis,
Israel and the Middle East, the People's
Republic of China, and "People,
People! How Many Can the Earth
Support?"
The "Great Decisions" program can be
used for personal development, for
political club activities, for civic or church
groups and for teacher certification credit.
The only cost of participation is the
price of the "Great Decisions"
booklet. No professional discussion
leader is required, since all information
needed is given in the booklet.
The UNC television network will carry
weekly programs related to the series
beginning Wednesday, Feb. 13. Groups
who wish to use the television programs
as an additional resource should consider
scheduling their series then.
Accounting society
has volunteer tax
service for students
The ECU Accounting Society will again sponsor this year the Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
The program which is under the auspices of the Internal Revenue
Service, will be staffed entirely by the accounting society
members. Although there will be no IRS representatives present, there will
be income tax material and guidebooks available as well as the student
assistants.
Several other changes have been made to insure a more effective
system of instruction. VITA will be in operation from February 1 through
February 15 and March 5 through April 15. A break will be taken during
exams and between quarters. Hours of operation will be from 3 to 6
Monday through Friday and from 10 to 12 on Saturday in room 305 of
Wright Annex.
In addition to the student assistant and guidebooks, there will also be a
toll free number to the IRS offices in Greensboro for extra assistance.
The accounting society members are being instructed by Mr. Gorman
Ledbetter, ECU accounting professor, in preparation for the VITA
program. Miss Gwen Potter, advisor for the Accounting Society and
chairman of the accounting department is also working with the program.
The assistants are authorized to sign income tax forms as VITA
assistants although they may refuse to sign certain forms. For example if a
person has a tax form with over a $10,000 income, the assistant would refer
the person to the IRS or tax assistance office.
The VITA program is free and designed primarily for the students and
staff rather than the faculty since members of the faculty can usually afford
to seek assistance elsewhere.

most outstanding of
throughout the U.S.
was judged the
state programs
Last year 5,200 North Carolinians
participated in 215 groups, including 700
teachers who received renewal credit for
their involvement in "Great Decisions

Sports
Cagers beginning to jell
Whitcomb eyes conference title
By BROWNIE WILSON
Staff Writer
One of the most physically demanding
sports on the collegiate level is wrestling,
U requires dedication and much hard work
to compete successfully.
Ron Whitcomb has shown so far this
season that he has the ability and desire
to meet all of these requirements. In
action this year Whitcomb has never
finished worse than third and won two of
his matches over highly rated opponents.
East Carolina wrestling coach John
Welbom describes Whitcomb as a very
tough individual both mentally and
physically. He feels he possesses the
talents to become one of ECU'S top
wrestlers.
"Ron is still improving with every
match and I'm sure this trend will
continue said Welbom.
"Some of Ron's matches were very
close, I think this will help him later
because he'll learn how to win the tight
ones Welbom went on to point out.
Whitcomb, a sophomore from East
Rochester, N.Y has very definite ideas
:bout his goals for the season.
"My main objective is to win the
Southern Conference title this year so I
can go on to the nationals later he said.
Wrestling in the 167-pound classifi-
cation, Whitcomb sees his toughest test
in the conference coming from William
and Mary. A hard earned victory against
powerful West Chester earlier this season
gave him the confidence needed to
compete for the conference title.
"The win against West Chester was my
best effort of the year because everything
seemed to come together and work right
said Whitcomb.
The advice of several friends led
Whitcomb to East Carolina and Coach
Welborn's wrestling program. They knew
what they were talking about it seems,
each was a former wrestler for the Pirates.
"I came to East Carolina because of
the excellent record and program that has
been built under Coach Welbom stated
Whitcomb.
"There is also a great team spirit and
attitude here that is so important to
winning
As a matter of fact, Whitcomb has
grown to enjoy almost everythinr about
Greenville and the school in general. The
climate and atmosphere around East
Carolina are especially pleasing to him.
However one thing seems to be
missing in his college life that is very hard
to replace.
"There's one very special girl back
home in New York said Whitcomb. That
statement explains itself.
Swimmers bow to State
The North Carolina State swimming
squad virtually did it all Tuesday evening
in Minges Natatorium.
The nationally fifth ranked 'Pack gave
the sparse crowd a small song and dance
routine, charmed the fans with their witty
poetry, sang the "National Anthem and
then proceeded to swim and dive their
way to a 65-47 victory over the Pirates of
East Carolina.
The Wolf pack won nine of the 13
events en route to their seventh straight
win of the 1973-74 season.
The Pirates took only four events as
their season record dropped to 2-3 for the
year. The 47 points scored were the most
points that an East Carolina team has
scored on North Carolina State in a very
long time.
East Carolina winners were Paul
Schiffel in the 200-yard backstroke event,
David Kirkman in the 200-yard breastroke,
Jack Morrow in the three-meter diving
competition and the 400-yard freestyle of
Bobby Vail, Steve Ruedlinger, Jim Hadley
and Ross Bohlken was also a winner.
Schiffel, a junior from Charlotte, swam
a tremendous race for his victory. He just
did hang on to edge State's heralded
Chris Mapes by a mere second. Morrow,
atoning for his poor showing on the
one-meter, reached a score of 290.00 to
qualify him for the NCAA Championships
to be held in Long Beach, Calif. In late
March.
The Pirates will next face another ACC
opponent in the tough Maryland Terrapins
on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Minges Pool.
The recurrent pre-season and early
season theme in East Carolina basketball
circles was "The Whiz Kids"youngsters
vaulting into the college basketball ranks
against the likes of Duke, NorthCarolina
State and Davidson
Now, after a horrendous road
schedule, long automobile rides, a
two-week break without so much as a
practice, the basketball theme in Pirage
cage circles is best echoed by a former
"Whiz Kid" whose only remark is "we're
breaking on top now
Breaking on top means a 7-6 record
(not counting St. Peter's game of Jan.
23). But more important, it means a 4-2
conference record, good enough for
second place and a possible month long
struggle with conference leader Furman,
an East Carolina visitor next week.
"We are stable now, if you can
understand that Coach Tom Quinn
says. "We are becoming a fairly
intelligent ball club. By that, I mean we
can now cope with game situations in the
most pressure type of circumstances. At
the start of the year I was very worried
because we had such a young group and
we were playing such a tough schedule. I
was afraid we would be routed in one of
those road games and that such a setback
would hurt the young players. But after
seeing this team work in practice and in a
pre-season scrimmage, I decided we had
a pretty stable group of young men and
that belief is beginning to show through
now
The Pirates have been involved in five
close games in their last six starts. The
first two were losses-one to American
University in overtime and the other to
Richmond at the buzzer. Since that time,
East Carolina nipped V.M.I, by one-point
at the buzzer, beat Appalachian State on a
cold shooting night by dropping in two
free throws with 19 seconds to play and
clipped William & Mary 70-67 in another
road game.
"If anything Quinn thinks, "those
close games had a uniting effect.
Throughout the December schedule, the
team was learning about each other,
about the coaches and about the
league. You have to get around to the
different gyms before you know what's
going on. Now, we have eight to 10
players who know what the pressure is
like and they know what has to be done
whether they start or come off the bench.
"We are in a good spot conference-
wise even though it is much too early to
think about it. We play a great deal of our
remaining conference games at home and
that includes Furman Monday night and
then Furman again the following Saturday
in Greenville, S.C. Our team is still very
young, but we are growing and strangely
enough, I don't feel we are anywhere near
realizing our potential-especially on
offense because we have spent so much
of the year working on defense and
rebounding. I think on any given night we
could have four and maybe as many as six
players in high double figures.
"You have to credit the entire team for
our rise because I don't think that many
people expected it. All the coaches have
been extremely pleased with the play of
Nicky (White). He has truly been a team
player because he has worked hard on
defense to help balance his scoring and
his rebounding. And, Donnie Owens, our
point guard. He came to our school and
into our league and inherited the toughest
position-point guard. He still makes
some sophomore mistakes but he always
seems to have a big play when you need
it-he won the V.M.I, game with a
jump shot with four seconds left and then
the clutch one-and-one free throws at
William & Mary with only a few seconds
remaining. He came into a new system
and had to operate at full speed while
learning the system. He's getting better
with each game.
"Really, I could mention the entire
team-Reggie Lee, Robert Geter Tom
Marsh, Buzzy Braman, Gregg Ashom,
Larry Hunt, and Roger Atkinson. Every-
one is playing and .contributing. As a
team, we are becoming more and more
stable
Lady gymnasts excel at ASU
A small band of women from East
Carolina took to the mountains of North
Carolina this last weekend. Their purpose
was not in skiing. These women were
representing ECU as the school's
women's gymnastic team. The girls came
away with a respectable showing for the
two meets they participated in.
On Friday night the girls visited
Boone, N.C. to compete against the girls'
team frjm Appalachian State. ASU
defeated the Pirate girls 62.6 to 54.6 Gail
Phillips and Joan Fulp were the top
performers for ECU. Miss Phillips placed
third in three events, the vaulting
exercises, the uneven bars, and the floor
8ercises. Miss Fulp won the uneven bars
and placed second in both the floor
exercises and the balance beam.
On Saturday the girls invaded
Cullowhee, N.C. for a meet with Western
Carlina, Furman and Gardner-Webb. The
ECU team placed second behind Western
Carolina. Furman was third and Gardner-
Webb was fourth. Miss Fulp again led the
girls with a second place finish in the
balance beam and a third on the uneven
bars. Miss Phillips placed second on the
bars and Linda Lane placed second in the
vaulting exercises.
The ECU women will travel to Chapel
Hill this Friday to compete in a meet with
UNC-Chapel Hill and Winthrop College.

It has been two weeks since East
Carolina's last wrestling match, a Jan. 10
drubbing of then nationally ranked West
Chester State. Now, it is time for the
Pirates to swing back into action and this
time, Coach John Welborn has a
particularly strong motive for wanting his
charges to start back on the right track.
Saturday, the Pirates travel to Boone,
Welborn's home town, to battle
Appalachian State, Welborn's alma mater,
in a pivotal Southern Conference
matchup.
The "homely" conflicts don't end
there. Welborn served as an assistant
coach at Appalachian State for two years
before becoming head wrestling coach at
East Carolina in 1967. In addition,
Welborn's former high school coach,
Steve Gabriel, is now the coach at
Appalachian State.
"It's no secret that I would like to go
back and win big. My family and friends
are there, but I have no compassion when
it comes to wrestling. All my loyalties are
to East Carolina
The Mountaineers are already well
aware that Welborn does not allow family
and hometown ties to interfere with his
winning ways. A year ago, the Mounties
traveled to Greenville and were soundly
defeated 35-7.
' But pride is not the only factor behind
Welborn's desire for a big win. Appala-
chian State along with William and Mary,
are picked as strong contenders to
challenge the Pirates' two-year domi-
nation of Southern Conference wrestling.
The Indians of William and Mary visit
Greenville Feb. 8.
By defeating Appalachian State, the
Pirates can take step No. 1 toward
asserting themselves as favorites to
defend their title. Step No. 2 comes Feb.
8.
Lady cagers
down Camels
By CONNIE HUGHES
Staff Writer
The ECU women cagers overcame
Campbell College 51-43 Tuesday night at
Buies Creek.
A low scoring first half saw ECU leave
the court with a slim 21-18 advantage over
Campbell. The third quarter was also
rather sluggish with ECU retaining its
lead. Both teams came alive in the fourth
quarter when Campbell pulled within one
point. It was a high scoring quarter
during which the Pirate women scored 21
of their total points.
The women shot 33 per cent from the
floor and hit 52 per cent of their free
throws. ECU had a disappointing 17
turnovers to Campbell's 12. High scorer
for the game was Campbell College's
Uura Reynolds with 16 points. Scoring
honors for ECU were shared by Susan
Manning and Sheilah Cotton who both
had 13 points.
ECU had a good night under the
boards, claiming 35 rebounds to 19 by
Campbell. Top in this category was Lu
Ann Swain for ECU with 12 rebounds.
The ECU women take the court again
on Saturday at 1 p.m. when they meet
UNC-G at Memorial Gymnasium in
Greenville. A J.V. game will precede the
varsity contest.
Sports Hall of Fame is proposed
A coordinated plan to establish an
"East Carolina University Sports Hall of
Fame" has now evolved to the stage of
requesting nominations for the first
selection process.
The "East Carolina Sports Hall of
Fame" organization is now an official part
of the East Carolina Athletic Department
and its activities will be funded by the
Athletic Department.
The objective of the organization is to
honor those individuals who have by
direct participation in East Carolina
intercollegiate athletics have brought
outstanding recognition to themselves
and to the university. To be eligible, a
person must not have been connected
with the university in the capacity in
which the nominee is being selected for a
minimum of five academic years. Thus,
for the first induction planned this year,
connections of possible nominees must
have ended no later than the 1968-69
school year.
Nominations for the first and all
inductions are invited from committee
members and most important of all, the
general public. In this first nomination
and selection process, nominations
should be submitted no later than March
15 to Bill Cain, Chairman of the Hall of
Fame committee. Mr. Cain's address is
Minges Coliseum, East Carolina Univer-
sity, Greenville, N.C.27834.
Elections will be held during the
Spring Quarter of each academic year. To
be elected, a nominee must receive a

Bucxs Sam Phillips: an artist at work
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
Stepping over an object in one's path
is generally a menial task; but when said
object is 42" high, you're running at top
speed and trying to beat someone doing
the same thing the task becomes a bit
more terrifying.
Sam Phillips, ECU'S premier hurdler,
describes running the hurdles in terms of
an art form. And winning bronze medals
in both last years indoor and outdoor
conference championships and being an
art major gives his opinion even more
substance.
The 60-yd high hurdles indoors and
the 120 HH outdoors are like the 60 and
100 yd. dashes in that they are run by
sprinters.
There's one major difference. In the
sprints you explode out of the blocks and
see a distant tape. In the hurdles you
explode out and before you is a forest of
obstacles.
The hurdle is 42" high, or on a six foot
man it comes to about an inch above his
navel. There are five hurdles in the 60 and
10 hurdles in the 120.
Phillips in high school was state
champion in the 180-yd. low hurdles his
sophomore year, state champion his
junior year in the 120 HH and took silver
medals in both events his senior year.
Highly recruited by such schools as
Florida State, Maryland, Michigan and
Georgia, Phillips chose ECU because of
its highly regarded art school.
Phillips described his beginning at
Union Pines H.S. in Carthage, N.C. in
hurdling.
"I was pushed into running the
hurdles. My coach saw I was tall and had
some natural speed so he put me in the
event. My freshman year I spent learning
Clifton Moore, newly elected chairman
of East Carolina University's Faculty
Athletic Committee and Athletic Council,
is satisfied with most of the actions taken
by the delegates of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association at its
recent San Francisco convention.
Moore, who represented East Carolina
at the gathering along with ECU Athletic
Director Clarence Stasavich, said he was
"personally pleased" with the con-
vention's vote to relax the N.C.A.As
stance on amateurism. The delegates
voted by more than a two-thirds majority
to permit athletes with professional status
in one sport to compete on the college
level in other sports.
"It only makes sense to me said
Moore, who is East Carolina's
vice-chancellor of business affairs. "Why
should an athlete lose his amateur status
in all sports simply by competing
professionally in only one sport?"
"A good example of the effects of the
old rule might have occurred if Carl
Summerell (ECU quarterback in 1973) had
elected to sign a professional baseball
contract upon graduating from high
school. He would have lost his college
football eligibility automatically
"As the rule now stands, since it goes
into effect immediately, Carl can sign a
professional football contract and still
maintain his eligibility to play baseball for
East Carolina next spring
Buc track schedule
poses challenge
A tightening up of East Carolina's 1974
indoor track schedule makes the season
ahead tougher, if anything, for coach Bill
Carson's cindermen. The updated sche-
dule reads: Jan. 26 at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina, North Carolina State and Duke;
Feb. 3 at Newark, Del vs. West Virginia,
Delaware, William & Mary, St. Johns and
Catholic University; Feb. 8 at Columbus,
Ohio vs. Ohio State and Notre Dame; Feb
23-24 at Southern Conference meet ir
Lexington, Va. March 8-9 at NCAA Indoor
Championships in Detroit, Mich.
Passage of a proposal to determine
the number of initial football and
basketball grant-in-aid issued by each
school on a head count basis also met
Moore's approval.
"This will prevent schools who give
partial grants from cheating on the
number of full scholarships they give
said Moore.
Under ex.sting regulations, the
N.C.A.A. permits member schools to give
up to 30 football grants and six basketball
grants per year with a four-year maximum
of 105 in football and 18 in basketball.
Moore, whose committees act in
advisory capacities to East Carolina
Chancellor Leo Jenkins and Athletic
Director Stasavich, voiced displeasure
with the convention's failure to pass a
proposal which would have prohibited
recruiting of high school athletes until
after their senior year had begun.
"That's what the N.C.A.A. is all about,
the protection of the student athlete
said Moore. "Why shouldn't the
N.C.A.A. extend the same courtesy to
high school coaches that it expects from
the professional football and basketball
people?"

how to run them, getting used to running
over a barrier. To win a letter you needed
15 points, and all I ran for was fifth place
so I could pick up one more point
Phillips ran a 13.7 in high school in
the 120 HH, a 49.8 440 and broad jumped
23' 2 11 A confirming the notion of the
versatile skills required of a hurdler.
"The hurdles are a race that only a
particular kind of person can run. Ones
with form, coordination and really the
guts to go over them. You need a knack
for running them. You can't just jump in
and say 'Hey, I'm a hurdler "
Premium hurdlers go through a rugged
training schedule in preparation for their
specialty.
"I practice like a quarter miler, doing
over distance work and weights. In the
fall I was running 2 miles cross-country
and then stepdowns (Interval training
where an athlete runs an 880, 660, 440,
220 on down in sequence with pauses
between each). On the week-ends I was
doing about 15 miles of distance
work. During the season I stick to interval
work and concentrate on hurdling
Phillips sees his goal this year as
winning gold medals in both conference
meets. To do this he must defeat William
and Mary's Charles Dodson, who last ye r
ran 13.8 to Phillips'14.1.
"The difference between Dodson and
me is that he ran in races where he was
pulled through. What I mean by that is he
competed against stiffer competition that
I did, so his times were better
Phillips considers his competition not
only challenging but a great teaching
experience. Through his opponents he
learns different styles, forms and
techniques.
In 1976 the Montreal Olympics will be
telecast around the world. That same year
Sam Phillips graduates from college. So
tune in, you might see an artist at work.
