SGA appropriates funds
for lacrosse expences
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
The
ECU Lacrosse team was
appropriated $600 by the SGA Legislature
Monday. This money will be used to
cover the cost of travel and equipment, an
expense that until this year was funded by
the athletic department.
The athletic department decided not to
fund the lacrosse team this year because
lacrosse does not contribute points that
determine the presentation of the
President's Cup, an award that is given to
the southern conference school that has
accumulated the highest number of points
granted according to final placement in
championships. For example, the number
one football team in the conference would
receive eight points if there are eight
teams in the conference; the number two
team would receive seven points and etc.
Since lacrosse is not a sport that
contributes points toward this award it is
no longer recognized as a part of the
athletic department and operates as a
club. As a school team they would
operate on a budget of an estimated
$2,400; as a club they will operate on a
budget of $600. This amount will pay $70
per home game for two referees,
equipment such as lacrosse sticks which
cost $25 each and travel expenses.
An SGA constitutional amendment
was passed which will allow students to
have their organizations' constitutions
approved by the SGA every three years
instead of every year. Since this
amendment was passed by the legislature
it will now have to be ratified by 23 of
student body provided that 20 percent of
the student body votes. This amendment
will be voted on by students during the
spring SGA elections.
Lee McLaughlin and Tommy Thoma-
son were accepted as new legislators.
Mrs. McLaughlin will be a day-student
representative. Miss Thomason is the
newly elected freshman class president.
Bill Bodenhamer announced that the
Publications Board, the Real House and
the Lacrosse team will be notified that
they must present their constitutions to
be approved by the SGA in order to make
appropriations granted to these organi-
zations legal.
It was also announced that a year's
analysis of the SGA will be presented
February 4 at 6:00 p.m. in the Nursing
auditorium by SGA President Bill Boden-
hamer.
White Ball
Continued from page one.
"Last year Kappa Sigma won with
close to $800. I believe if we'd told the
Kappa Sigmas what they got last year
that's what they'd have aimed for this
year he continued.
"The Chi Omegas and Pi Kaps won
second place this year. I think they'll
work harder to win first place next year
Kappa Sigma won again this year,
making this their fourth year in a row as
winners.
The winning contributions raised by
Kappa Sigma totalled $1,203.08, accord-
ing to Don Rundle, Kappa Sigma fund
raising chairman for White Ball.
The majority of this sum was raised by
a car wash the Kappa Sigmas held Jan. 19
at their fraternity house.
Other fund raising projects sponsored
by the Kappa Sigmas for White Ball
donations were a happy hour, a peanut
butter sale, and a raffle.
Winners of the raffle received two
movie passes for either the Park or Plaza
theater. The winners, Tom Burgess,
Carolyn McMillen, Susan Gossett, and Dr.
Bill Smith, were notified by telephone
Sunday Jan 27 after the 2 p.m. drawing.
"I just feel like the Kappa Sigmas
worked enough and didn't have to take it
out of their back pockets Godfrey said.
"A lot of people want to say they're
just a lot of rich guys but that's not
so. They got out and hustle a lot of
people
NO SOLICITING
In accordance with this year's
White Ball rules, the Kappa Sigmas did
not solicit businesses for donations.
"It wasn't really a new ruling said
Godfrey.
"Groups weren't supposed to solicit
last year. If there was any we didn't know
about it Toler said. "If we heard that
any groups were soliciting last year, we
talked to them personally and told them
not to solicit
This request was in response to
complaints from local businesses
according to Godfrey.
"Easter Seals go to businesses
too. Easter Seals asked us not to go
downtown because that just repeats it
he said.
There was also the problem of groups
soliciting businesses for donations and
then keeping some of the money,
according to Toler.
POSSIBLE CHANGES
For next year's White Ball, APO is
thinking of some changes, according to
Godfrey. Groups may not be allowed to
jointly sponsor one girl. Sponsoring may
be required to be done by single
organizations only-one girl for one group.
The date of the White Ball may be
announced earlier next year, according to
Godfrey.
"We'd like to give enough notice to
allow organizations to work up money
raising projects he said.
This year Angel Flight had a bake sale
and Alpha Delta Pi sold doughnuts to
raise money.
Since Kappa Sigma has won for the
past four years, some smaller groups are
wondering about the possibility of ever
beating them.
They are also wondering about the
possibility of Kappa Sigma sitting out for
one year or retiring from competition.
Sam Byrer, Kappa Sigma president,
commented on this proposal, "We feel
that the project is so worthy that we enjoy
raising as much money as we can
"It's not so much the idea of the
trophy but when you stop the one group
that contributes about half of the
proceeds, of course you're cutting the
contributions to Pitt County crippled
children in half.
"Then you begin to wonder what White
Ball's all about

News and Observer Editor
Sitton speaks
CLAUDE F. SITTON
Claude Sitton, editor and vice
president of the Raleigh News and

upper-level journalism students at East
Carolina University, Wednesday, Jan. 30.
Sitton will discuss aspects of editorial
writing and the impact of the editorial
winning streak in White Ball, the Theta
Chis experienced three years of
consistent wins.
Four years ago one member of Kappa
Sigma decided that Kappa Sigma would
win the trophy that year. He headed the
fund raising committee and Kappa Sigma
won.
"If an organization makes up its mind
to beat us, they can make a concentrated
effort and beat us. That's how we beat

"White Ball offers the fraternity not
only a chance for its own involvement, but
also for the benefit of the crippled
children he said.
page. Interested persons are invited to
attend the lecture, which is scheduled for
11 a.m. in 301 Austin Building.
Editorial director of the News and
Observer since 1968, Sitton has served as
a reporter and editor for United Press
International, as U.S. Information Officer
and Press Attache for the American
Embassy in Ghana, and from 1964 until
1968 he was national news director of
the New York Times.
A native of Atlanta, he is a graduate of
, Emory University, a member of Sigma
Delta Chi and an honorary member of the
ECU chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma
journalism fraternity.
Containers
fool nature
The Nebraska Game and Parks
Commission has reportedly used those
little egg-shaped containers used by one
brand of panty hose to productively fool
Mother Nature in the form of nesting
geese. For two years now, the plastic
containers have been filled with sand,
sealed, and then traded for real eggs
which are carefully placed in incubators.
If the eggs are stolen without a
convincing replacement the bird is likely
to abandon her nest and move on. The
replacement keeps the female happy with
her first choice of nest until she finishes
her clutch. Then technicians steal the
dummies and cover the nest. Five days
later, they uncover it and the bird returns
to start the whole procedure again.
Waterfowl production has nearly doubled
with this method-at least with
geese. Technicians aren't sure yet
whether swans will be so gullible.
Thirsty lawns
Scientists report that about 30,000
gallons of water a year are used to water
the average lawn in a humid area of the
U.S. A lawn in a dry region can soak up
90,000 gallons.

Mauger clears up oil controversy
Editor's note: The following article was
submitted to Fountainhead by Dr. Richard
L. Mauger, Associate professor of
Geology. His comments concern an
article submitted to Fountainhead by
Valerie Szabo and John Prevette, entitled
'Colorado fears land damage published
in the January 17 edition of Fountainhead.
The article on Colorado oil shale lands
by Szabo and Prevette deserves some
comments because to me, it represents a
hack-work style of journalism concerning
a vitally important, and complex
issue. First of all, we are informed that
somehow the gasoline shortage is linked
in some unseen nebulus way, to the
outstanding triumphs of modem day
youth-opposition to the Vietnam war and
involvement in the civil rights movement.
Without further explanation we are
informed that Mr. John Love when he was
governor of Colorado was somehow guilty
of dooming 100,000 acres of southern
Colorado land to "destruction in the near
future His sin it seems was to be
governor when major petroleum com-
panies acquired leases to Colorado oil
shale lands. I'm curious to know the
explanation of Szabo's and Prevette's
reference to oil shale in southern
Colorado. If they would really like to find
out something about the subject, there
are many accessible (in the ECU library,
for example), well written, factual articles
on the Colorado oil shale deposits, none
of which are in the southern part of the
state. The authors continue on to inform
us that 71,066 tons of earth will be strip
mined to produce a mere one percent of
Celebrations are planned

MEMBERS OF THE ECU Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority gather to plan
activities for the 66th anniversary of the National Sorority.
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
The 66th year of the Alpha Kappa
sorority will be celebrated on Feb. 17, by
East Carolina's newly formed Theta Alpha
Chapter. The AKAs will celebrate
Founder's Day with the lota Kappa Omega
graduate chapter at the Ramada Inn in
Greenville. Shirley Smallwood, AKA
campus president, and Cynthia Newby,
ECU'S first general AKA member recently
released tenative plans for other future
activities.
The AKAs plan to donate a
subscription of Essence magazine to
Joyner Library as a service project. They
also plan to distribute the AKA history
brochures to Joyner and to departmental
libraries on campus to familiarize people
with nationally recognized sorority
leaders. The AKA's are associate
m
members of the Panhellenic Council and
will be "participating in their service
activities.
A bake sale will be held on Tuesday,
Jan. 29, by the Alpha Kappa Alphas as a
fund raising project. Future baby sitting
services and car washes are also planned
for fund raising.
Ten active members make up the
Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority on
campus. Officers include Shirley Small-
wood, president, Debbie McCoy, vice
president, Annie Morris, recording
secretary, Janice Hobbs, corresponding
secretary, Gloria Fisher, treasurer, and
Cynthia Newby, dean of pledges.
In May, a recreational outing is
planned by the AKAs for interested
students. New members will be initiated
in the spring quarter.
the oil needed in this country and that
over the next 10 years all of western and
southern Colorado will be destroyed if the
oil companies proceed in extraction of oil
from these lands. Just what do these
statements mean? I feel that the reader is
entitled to an explanation. At an average
grade of 80 gals, oil per ton of shale,
71,066 tons would yield about 136,000
barrels of oil or about one percent of daily
U.S. consumption, based on an estimated
U.S. oil consumption for 1973 of 5.3
billion barrels. Rock with 80 gals, oil per
ton is very high grade and represents less
than ten percent of all shale oil
reserves. The oil shale lands in western
Colorado (mainly in the Piceance Creek
Basin) contain from 450 to 500 billion
barrels of oil in rock that contains from 25
to 65 gal. oil per ton. Thus, if all oil shale
with 25 to 60 gals, per ton in western
Colorado were mined it would supply
essentially all of our oil needs for the next
one hundred years, based on a constant
yearly consumption equal to that of
1973. To supply the entire U.S. oil needs
from shale oil in Colorado for the next one
hundred years would indeed be a tall
order, even for the giant U.S. petroleum
companies especially since Szabo and
Prevette state "The shame of the ordeal is
that the oil companies are at present
unsure of the outcome of their
explorations into Colorado's natural
resources Following this statement, the
authors state that successful exploitation
of the shale oil will have destroyed
hundreds of thousands of acres of
Colorado's prime land to produce only a
trivial one percent of all oil that must be
produced. Do the authors consider a one
hundred year's supply at current U.S.
consumption rates "a trivial one percent
of all that must be produced?"
Later in the article, after seeming to
blame Mr. Love for a massive give-away of
state lands it turns out the lands were
legally leased to petroleum companies for
exploration. The authors seem to be
accusing Mr. Love of acting within the
law, even if the law was written almost
100 years ago. How else should the
governor act? Should he act illegally we
might ask? Szabo and Prevette hint that a
mineral or oil shale lease allows the
leasee to do anything with the land he
wishes with no compensation for
damages. Nonsense! Leases of this type
include bonds or compensation for
damages and always involve a royalty to
be paid (in this case to the State of
Colorado) for each unit of commodity (oil)
produced. The companies of course must
also pay for the leases and pay to renew
them. Thus the states profit financially
from leasing mineral or oil rights
especially if the leased lands become
productive.
Finally to top off their wide ranging
expose' into shale oil and petroleum
companies, we are informed by Szabo and
Prevette, that the major oil companies are
exploiting the resources of Saudi Arabia
in fear of impending nationalization?
With the recent doubling of prices of
imported crude oil (from middle Eastern
countries, North Africa and Venezula to
name the most important areas), just who
is being exploited by whom? Could it be
the average American consumer with his
big car, love of speed, flimsy home miles
from work, tremendous love for air travel
and insatiable thirst for more and more
electricity - could he be the one who is
being exploited here? No one expects
him to change his style of living, after all,
isn't part of our birthright a guarantee to
use all the petroleum we want?

The Sir Douglas Band - Texas Tornado
SD7287 Atlantic
By J.K. LOFTIN
Staff Writer
Doug Sahm, the Sir Douglas of the
famed quintet of yesteryear, renowned for
its performances of "She's About a
Mover" and "Mendicino is back
again. His return via this album is,
unfortunately, disappointing. He fails in
trying to generate some of the electricity
found on his first super-session album of
last year featuring Bob Dylan, Dr. John,
Arif Mardin and various other biggies of
the business. He ends up with a passive,
low level performance, hardly worthy of
the fine lines of praise which Atlantic
Records has bestowed upon it; for
example "The high energy level is
maintained by Doug's fine vocals and his
outstanding musicians If this is true,
then Atlantic's promotional men have
both an extremely low threshhold for
excitement and a tin ear; for there is no
high (or for that matter sustained) energy
level, not any fine vocal work. As
Atlantic's review says, it is a bit funky,
but only a little.
Hailing from San Antonio, Texas,
Doug Sahm is very affected by country
and western, southern funk, as well as
Chicano music. His synthesis of these
styles fails to excite, however, and in
most cases is merely a lame imitation of
these styles. His country and western
attempts of "I'll Be There" and "Hard
Way" are second rate and wouldn't even
make it on a weak AM country
station. "Nitty Gritty" is the only song
that just falls flat. It sounds like a
combination of Sam the Sham's "Wooly
Bully Doug Sahm's own "Mendicino
and the Mexican Brass. The first song on
side one, "San Francisco FM Blues"
sounds like a weak attempt at imitating
Quicksilver of about two years ago with a
horn section, and Sahm's voice sounds
just like Dino Valenti. "Someday" reminds
me of something Tony Bennett would do
with a Count Basie back-up, interesting
enough for a country boy from
Texas. Yes, it's true, as Atlantic's review
says, "This album offers something for
everyone
The high points of the album are
actually provided by the back-up
musicians, of special note is David
"fathead" Newman, of the old Mar-Keys
of the mid-sixties, who does some fine
tenor sax and flute solos. Dr. John (Mac
Rebennack) also provides some nice New
Orleans piano and organ on "Tennessee
Blues" (the only salvation for that song)
and "Ain't That Lovin' You
Doug Sahm, merely by the attention
given him by Atlantic Records' VPs, Jerry
Wexler and Arif Mardin, as well as their
publicity department, should have some
talent. And if to this we add the guest
appearance of the previously mentioned
Mr. Dylan, Dr. John et al, it seems that
Doug Sahm must be talented and
respected. It's just a shame that he
doesn't let us know it with this album.
Clifford T. Ward: "Home Thoughts
Fair to Bad to Worse to Worst
By PATSY HINTON
Staff Writer
Clifford T. Ward (whoever he is)
certainly produced a well, "different"
sort of album when he allowed Atlanta
Recording Corporation to cut his "Home
Thoughts" complete with a famous (?)
chrisma label (whatever that is). By
"different" I mean that side one left me in
cold disbelief, whereas side two put me to
sleep.
The first two songs on side one,
"Gaye" and "Wherewithal" are the two
suggested cuts for air play, and indeed
are the two thin strands of rope that keep
the entire album, which has already
tumbled over the cliff, from slipping into
an abyss of complete failure. "Gaye a
love ballad, has such original lyrics as
"Gaye, I won't last another day,If you
decide to go away.Don't go away.
Please stay Heavy huh? But at least the
melody is gentle and soothing, and when
compared with the songs on side two,
"Gaye" takes a place at "the head of the
class Ward's second life jacket,
"Wherewithal is barely enough to help
the album keep its head above water. To
begin with, the average listener is not
going to know the meaning of
"wherewithal" (I didn't; do you?), and so,
the song has a perhaps fatal strike against
it before it even sounds a note. However,
the beat is peppier, and if you have the
initiative to look up the meaning of
"wherewithal" the lyrics ("Wish I had the
wherewithalTo attract your attention)
become almost meaningful. And on this
album, meaningful lyrics are rare, rare,
rare.
As pitiful as these two songs are, the
worst is yet to come. "The Dubious
Circus Company" is an example of
Clifford Ward's "bubblegun magic but I
seriously doubt the song will ever acquire
even a fraction of the success achieved
by such typical teeny-bopper music as
Sammy Davis's "Candy Man
"Nightingale" is the main culprit that
shoots the arrow of cold disbelief straight
into a duped heart. "Nightingale so
beautifulI love to hear your song Then,
if you can take this as the truth (and I still
can't), a real bird really twitters and
tweets right in the middle of the
song. My God, Ward, just because your
song is about a nightingale doesn't mean
that you necessarily have to throw the
bird in to do his bit. I couldn't imagine
the hummingbird humming in Seals and
Crofts's song by that name, or the
blackbird cawing in Cat Stevens's
"Morning Has Broken "What a tweet
song a friend punned. Oh well, let's
hear it for the bird.
Barely have I recovered from shock
over the bird's performance when my
sarcastic nature is aroused by the lyrics of
"Where Would That Lead Me?" Now get
these words: "Why don't you tell me ycj
love me?Why don't you tell me you
care?I might do something extravagant
Like play with your hair Yes, indeed,
that's really extravagant.
The last song on side one, "The
Traveller combines a choppy style with
the words of John 3:16 (that's right, John
3:16) superimposed on a background of
little children singing a rousing chorus of
"Yes, Jesus Loves Me" I'll never discern
how Ward figured this song would work,
with the tweeting of birds, I'll never know.
And now, for the sawing-log-sedation
of side two. Ward shows off his
intellectual prowess with the title song of
his album, "Home Thoughts From
Abroad The lyrics run: "I've been
reading Browning, Keats, and William
Wordsworth,And I like what they have to
sayI miss you,I miss you.I really
do
In "Where's It Going to End" (I couldn't
agree more.) Ward compares his love with
some chick to a "broken-down motor
car In true "Nightingale" style, Ward is
far from subtle, and this song is complete
with sound effects such as horns blowing
and cars screeching. In keeping with the
vivid images produced, I think Clifford's
singing could use an overhaul.
And thus, the music drags on, from
fair to bad to worse to worst. The cover of
this album, featuring an old-fashioned
vanity table complete with a framed
picture of Clifford T. Ward, has no color
or vitality whatsoever, but is a dull, dingy,
brown. The Hartlebury Museum is given
credit for this front cover photograph;
perhaps they should take the entire album
and file it under "unrelished relics
Foghard-Energized
BR6950 Bearville Records
By J.K. LOFTIN
Staff Writer
Many new groups, after breaking onto
the scene with a good first album and
following it up with an even better second
album, seem to hit a slump by their third
offered. Unfortunately, this is the case
with Foghat's latest release. Still
basically a straight rock n' roll group, they
seem to have forgotten how much
improvement they made between their
first and second albums and lead the
listener through some rather overly long
and boring material. Another point is that
scarcity of material on the album, only
eight songs. They over-extended most of
the songs, possibly to make up the time
due to lack of material. Only one song,
the old Buddy Holly tune, "That'll Be the
Day" is treated in a relatively tasteful
manner. It's rearrangement, including the
addition of horns and female back-up
vocalists, is fresh and the song itself fits
Lonesome Dave Peverett's voice quite
well. Another point that makes this song
stand out is the fact that when it is over
they finish it, instead of dragging it out
like every other song on the album.
FREELEGAL
The apparent lack of taste in not
realizing when to end the songs
seemingly stems from the fact that
Foghat is very much a live band, one of
the best around, and some of the songs
seem to lend theselves to a live handling,
which allows for their length. This still
does not excuse what they've put down on
this album.
Several of the songs still are basically
good material in addition to "That'll Be
The Day "Step Outside" is a very nice,
melodic rocker which has a good funky
break in it, but it just lasts too long for
it's own good. "Home In My Hand" also
comes across well but it lasts a bit too
long. It does sound like a good song for
them to end a live performance with
though and perhaps this is why it finishes
out the first side. "Fly By Night written
by bassist Tony Stevens, while not
outstanding, is a nice song, but once
again it's just too long.
A band that was once three-fourts of
the original Savoy Brown and which put
out one very good album (Foghat) and one
outstanding album (Rock n' Roll) is
certainly capable of work better than
this. Hopefully, their next album will put
them back where they should be, far
ahead of this disappointing disc.

Student opinion
We again find ourselves adrift in a sea of Forum; to date, the score is four Earl
Scruggs letters to four "exceptional children" responses. The duplication of response
makes Fountainhead wonder where priorities lie when a concert review causes as much
of a ruckus as does an issue of human dignity.
However, Fountainhead staff members have noted in the past that the issues most
prone to cause hysterical response are theaterconcert reviews and Greeks. Perhaps
this indicates the tendency of 70s students to retire into personal shells and disregard
anything more irritating than a beer bust or a concert. The thought isn't a pleasant
one. Fountainhead is fully prepared to hear further volatile comment about future
concerts and protests of critical theater reviews while the Student Government,
out-of-state tuition, racial issues, faculty cutbacks, student-faculty ratio, and teaching
quality go unnoticed.
Looking at the situation more optimistically, we'd like to believe that the non-letter
writers are thinking more deeply about things than are the letter-writers. The series of
letters on exceptional children, and the earlier letters on women's status, have done a
lot to promote our belief in studentkind.

gifted (intellectually superior) students are
condemned for failure to conform to
classroom standards (the average)
Since you make this very general and
pervasive statement and because you at
least meet the minimum intellectual
requirements for admission to graduate
school and because you are in a field
where scientific methodology is stressed,
if not required, I assume either a) you
have visited all of the public schools, or b)
you have access to validated studies
heretofore unknown to the scientific
community. I, Mr. Mentha, being far less
fortunate than yourself, have only visited
and worked in two or three public
schools. I was not at that time aware of
any clandestine operations to coerce,
either overtly or covertly, intellectually
superior students into performing at an
average level. But, as I said, I am not as
gifted as yourself; therefore, I probably
failed to perceive the subterfuge.
"I disapprove of the physically and
mentally disabled being given equal
status with, classified with, and
associated with their gifted counterparts
I ask: are you stating that you feel
Christie Brown, the Irish novelist and a
victim of cerebral palsy, should not be
given equal status with you as regards
writing ability? Are you stating that:
Franklin Roosevelt could not be classified
with you or, excuse me sir, his gifted
counterpart in possessing administrative
leadership or governing abilities? Are you
saying: Moshe Dayan cannot be asso-
ciated with you; he has only one eye you
know, and I'm sure no disabled individual
could adequately serve as Defense
Minister of a nation. Isn't that correct
sir? But of course Moses couldn't lead
the Israeli people out of Egypt with a
speech impediment; but isn't it
interesting that he did? The list could
continue; I'm sure you've gotten the
point, or have you? If not I suggest that
you utilize your obviously gifted talents
and review the research literature. It will
be replete with examples, bona fide no
less, of successfully rehabilitated persons
that contribute equal to or greater than
their share to society.
If, after reading this article, you do not
agree with me, which is certainly
possible, and you do not follow the
forementioned suggestion, I will be forced
to conclude: a) you have no desire to
know the truth, or b) you are not at gifted
as I supposed. It is my sincere wish that
you prove me wrong on both accounts.

To Fountainhead:
This letter is in response to a letter
published in your January 22 issue. The
correspondence to which I refer
denounced in extremely strong terms the
use of the term "exceptional children" for
children who are emotionally disturbed,
mentally retarded, learning disabled, and
those deficient in hearing and speech. I
feel that much that was said in the letter
can be dismissed out of hand. For
instance, I sincerely doubt that the author
would really want to apply the terms
"dregs of genetic accident, the liabilities
of mankind" to creative geniuses such as
Beethoven or Milton, both of whom it is
well known had handicaps.
I think the point should be made that
there are very few (if any) who are
qualified to divide the world into he dregs
and the non-dregs, or as another author
has said, "Let him who is without sin
case the first stone What we regard as a
deficiency may simply be a gift which
can't function properly in the present
society; or what we regard as a gift might
easily be a handicap. For instance, the
author of the letter in question here
seems to identify gifted with productive.
Based on my experience with several
thousand students, this does not
follow. Finally, I deplore the hurt that
was done by the letter to the families of

Mentha replies
To Fountainhead:
It is my intent to clarify certain
aspects of my earlier letter and secondly
to point out a few of the consequences of
the arguments of my critics. I will do this
by answering each directly.
Patty Burke
You were correct to evaluate my
interests as a "surface concern My
discontent is of a semantic nature. I tried
to show how indefinite adjoctives lead to
imprecision of language, and how this
inadvertantly leads to interpretations
other than those intended. The fact that I
drew such avid opposition is a measure of
my success.
Let me give you a concrete example of
my objection to the classification of "ex-
ceptional" as it relates to the field of
special education. Your neighbor
mentions in an off-hand manner that a
friend of hers has an exceptional
child. Not wishing to be nosey, you
refrain from further questions. What,
specifically, have you learned about that
child? - only that his abilities fall one or
two standard deviations to either side of a
tmmmmmmmmmtmmmmmmmm
large Gaussian distribution called the
normal. In essence, the only exact
information you have is that the child is
non-normal. Reflect how simply one
could state that the child: had a learning
disability; was deficient in hearing; was a
musical prodige; was considered to be a
genius in his mathematical abilities.
These explicit descriptive references allow
no ambiguity as to what makes that child
different. (Your) composite grouping
does not allow the same precise
identification.
When I postulated "Perhaps you
concerned students honestly believe that
the gifted has an intrinsic defect I
was constructing a hypothetical con-
ditional whereby far reaching conse-
quences may be inferred. I did not in any
way state that I believed that this was
your purpose. I chose the example as a
viable inference (others certainly exist) for
the following reason. A classification
arises from an attempt to classify. To
classify is to arrange or distribute in
classes. A class is a number of persons
or things, regarded as forming one group
through the possession of similar
qualities (dictionary of your choice). I
contend the proposition: both the
deficient and the gifted are outside the
normal and therefore possess the
common need of special attention - does
not adequately describe the situation. It
is more significant that these two groups
lie in antithesis to one another. They
reflect the need for very different forms of
attention and I submit that this is of
greater consequence. They have less in
common with each other than with the
normal from which they have been
separated. It is with respect to the above
that I propounded a possibility of defect
and alterior motive .that of screening.
Certainly it follows if the obvious
common trait is removed one would
search for a more elusive kind.
In reference to the following quotes
from your letter: "We may have more to
learn from "little" minds than we
suspect I ask - what? more than from
whom? When you assert "They are top
instructors in matters of the heart I say
to you that our primary discussion deals
with matters of the mind. Any reference
to emotionalism in context of these
arguments or discussions presupposes
that you wish to contest my views without
due consideration of my choice of basic
premise .ratiocination.
Mary Winters:
Perhaps you and I share a modicum
more agreement than you would like to
believe. I am not ignorant of the aims of
Special Education, indeed I would like to
see it developed to completeness (I will
explain in a moment). I have been aware
of the unique problems of both the gifted
and the deficient in the educational
.process. My family has traditionally been
involved in the teaching profession. My
mother has been a primary school teacher
for more than 20 years, having diverse
experience from the extremes of the New
York City school for the deaf and dumb to
the Westchester (elite) public schools.
My father was a college instructor for a
number of years before returning to
industry as a full time occupation. Aunts
and an uncle are active secondary school
teachers. My wife holds a degree in art
education. Association with these people
does in no way qualify me as an expert or
an authority, but neither does it leave me
unaware. I contend in order to
individualize the educational process, to
the degree you seem to indicate, one

I OTUrTi continued
must expand the special education to its
ultimate endthe abolition of public
education altogether.
The removal of public supported
compulsive education would accomplish
two objectives. The first is that it would
serve to re-educate the parent by causing
him to pause and consider what is
significant to the development of his
child what kind of institute
vocational, technical, university oriented,
etc. - would best be suited to the child's
abilities. Secondly, the child would have
a lessened tendency to become frustrated
by the imput of material, be it too great ot
too little, since the program would not be
oriented toward a standard intended to
embrace all prospective pupils. The
economic and ethical aspects of this
proposition have been favorably presented
elsewhere and a lengthy reiteration of
them now would not return me to the
theme of the letter.
Sarah Mickey :
Your arguments are more difficult to
dispel primarily because they stem from a
philosophical schism between us. Allow
me to illustrate. Your reference to Prof.
Kirks interpretation " 'All men are created
equal .implies educational opportun-
ities - for all children smacks horribly of
socialism. (I assume the quote was
presented in justification of your entire
program, not just the classification -
which was the theme of my letter.) I ask
you to explain the source of this
educational opportunity .provided by
whom? at whose expense? I contend
that my neighbor does not have the right
to tax me to provide for his need or the
need of his child, as I would not ask or
expect him to do likewise of me. "the
right of each child to receive .think
of this extended one step farther. the
right of each to receive .and again
one step more .the right to receive! The
founding fathers of this nation had the
foresight to choose as inalienable rights
only those which, as axioms, served to
define objective law for the protection of
the rights of the individual. They choose
right of life, right to liberty, and right to
pursuit of happiness. They did not
guarantee happiness, or any other
material gain to be demved at the expense
of another individual.
The right to receive is an inroad
against individual liberty and is
characteristic of all forms of altmist-
collectivist morality. Ayn Rand has
exposed the fallacies of the concept
"From each according to his ability, to
each according to his need" (see Atlas
Shrugged, or For the New Intellectual)
quite systematically and thoroughly. I
refer you to her writings. Let me just ask
you, as an aside, whether you really
believe you could function in an
environment where the needs of others
(i.e. the needs of your neighbor's child)
determine the disposition of the ideas and
livelihood you have accumulated. I note
for the record that this digression does
not contribute for the solution of our
problem but rather that it serves to expose
the differences in philosophical con-
viction which leads to our differences.
Finally, I must in all honesty point out
a final contradiction in your endeavors.
You state emphatically, axiomatically,
that it is impossible for someone to
define universely that which is productive,
good or bad, ethical or even
rational Please explain to me how a
person who proposes such a blatant
Kantian description of the ineffectually of
the intellect is capable of educating the
young to utilize the limits of his
capacity?? On the proposition that
there are no absolutes, you state
absolutely that .we must look upon all
persons with favor I even draw the
implication that you are substituting
"favorable" for good, further violating
your premises.
Your last paragraph states "We are
unable to account for condemnation of
any individual or neglect of any persons
potential. Our SCEC is organized to
encourage and become involved with all
positive changes More important than
the continued use of absolutes is the fact
that your proposition disallows you any
way of judging what is a positive
change. Please, Miss Mickey, what ever
your choice of metaphysical postulates
you must remain consistant, or be ruined
by the obviousness of your own
contradictions.
Miss Winters, I thank you for your
time. Perhaps after I've completed the
work set aside in the preparation of this
rejoiner I might consider a talk with you.
John 0. Mentha
Greek system
To Fountainhead:
It has become increasingly clear that
during the current and preceding quarters,
the Greek system on this campus has
taken some serious blows to its strength
and reputation, particularly in this
publication. The importance of this attack
lies not in the specific facet of the system
that was attacked nor the specific groups
involved. It appears that the major
significance of the aforementioned events
rests on the slanted viewpoint
presented. It has always been accepted
' that the foundation of sound decision
making is knowledge of the facts from
both ends of the argument. Other
methods of opinion formation are referred
to as propanganda. This letter is,
therefore, composed to present another
viewpoint on the topic of fraternities and
Greeks: hopefully, in an effort to allow
an honest and well-founded opinion to be
formed by East Carolina students.
The following list of activities and
accomplishments should not be con-
strued as an effort to impress, only to
inform. Greek students comprise less
than one-tenth of the student body yet
contribute approximately one-third to the
student government, as well as a sizable
portion of the people chosen for Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities. Greeks are active in more
than their share of almost every honorary
fraternity on campus. Without the Greek
system, Homecoming and related events
would be nothing more than an afternoon
football game. Every Greek organization
on campus is active in collecting for and
donating to charitable institutions, such
as Pitt CountyCrippled Children's
Association, United Fund, Cerebral
Palsey, March of Dimes, Heart Fund,
Salvation Army, plus a full page list of
others. Greek students are members of
Student Union Committees, Judiciary
Board and Dorm offices. It is obvious,
that this is a considerable number of
activities for such a miniscule minority of
students.
I would venture to say that if all
students were as active on campus and in
service projects as Greeks, East Carolina
would be a more progressive institution.
Considering that there were no Greek
organizations on campus before 1960, the
system has made great strides in growth
and involvement, including the cultivation
of the total student. The all-Greek grade
average is higher than the all-campus
average. Although, admittedly a value
judgement, Greeks tend to be well-round-
ed students and many of the reasons
stem from the advantages they reap from
their organizational affiliations. Intangi-
ble benefits abound in the system. In-
volvement in worthwhile projects, the
development of a sense of purpose, the
learning of valuable lessons in living, and
the sharing of common interests are a few
of these invaluable and intangible benefits
derived from being a Greek.
It must be acknowledged, however,
that Greeks have attained a somewhat
infamous reputation, but I feel that, in
this light, publicity and hearsay and
rumor are the villains. If students were as
well informed on the questionable
activities of Independents as they were on
those of the social Greeks, the tables of
campus opinion at this time may be
turned.
As I look upon the records and ideals
of the Greek system, it is apparent that
the current trend in opinion is unfounded
and unjust. Can East Carolina University
afford not to have a flourishing Greek
system?
Sincerely,
Thomas Vicars,

Scruggs review
To Fountainhead:
Re: Your Earl Scruggs Revue Review
So Miss Hinton longs for the real
"down home" Earl Scruggs that appeared
on the insane show of yesteryear, The
Beverly Hilbillies? Ah yes, the Earl
Scruggs who was given lines that would
embarass a mongoloid idiot and such
enchanting over-hicked lyrics as the
"possom fat" verse quoted in the
review. The Earl Scruggs who was given a
beautiful young starlet to portray his wife
and a set of events designed to coordinate
one of the most sickenly slicked-down
commercialized forces ever to appear on a
television guest spot. Talk about teeny-
boppers, why Miss Hinton, you sound like
the original Donny Osmond freak.
The Earl Scruggs Revue is the first of a
long, dedicated career-the first really true
relevation of Scruggs' supreme talent-one
that is backed up by the respect of
musicians everywhere, and not deceased
in the slightest by a self-styled young
lady critic whom we doubt can even play a
radio. Scruggs' rising fame is due mainly
to a renewed appreciation of bluegrass
and a resurgence of mountain culture
brought about by todays back-to-the-land
consciousness, and not to any hard-sell
promotional efforts on the part of
Scruggs. His "millions" are honest and
well-deserved.
Miss Hinton has based many of her
assertions on audience response, since
she obviously knows very little about
music. However, I think many would
agree with me that the ECU audience is
not the world's best for such a purpose,
as any audience that becomes utterly
impatient with the performances because
of a faulty sound technician. Though
Scruggs seems more at home in a smaller
auditorium, I for one thoroughly enjoyed
the concert as I did last year. This is one
teeny-bopper who will continue to stomp-
his feet to the music of Earl Scruggs and
all other such honest musicians.

More Scruggs
To Fountainhead:
I was totally disgusted with Patsy
Hinton's review of Earl Scruggs. Earl
Scruggs with all his "millions" is one of
the most personal and down-to-earth
people you'd ever want to meet.
I had the privilege of talking to him in
New Jersey and he told me that
Greenville, N.C. was one of his favorite
places because he got such a warm
reception last year. Ms. Hinton must have
been sitting in the back watching the
hard-rock freaks leave rather than up front
where one could feel his sincere
vibrations. I wish in the future Ms. Hinton
would keep her rotten reviews to herself
or get with it!
An Earl Scruggs fan
and more
To Fountainhead:
In response to the article "Earl
Scruggs and co: review of the Revue we
would like to make the following
comments. Earl Scruggs, as was noted in
the article mentioned above, is one of the
finest banjo players in the world. In fact,
in almost all music circles he is reputed
to be the finest player of the 5-string
banjo style which, we would like to note,
he also originated. What the article failed
to mention was that several years ago
when the Revue was initiated, one of the
purposes of the group was to experiment
with the vast areas of music that had
beforehand been only lightly touched
upon by other artists. Mr. Scruggs did
infact "create" an appeal for bluegrass
music. Not, we might add, via the
"impersonal, gilded style of (a)
millionaire but rather through the
concerned attempt of an artist. The Earl
Scruggs of the "Beverly Hillbillies era"
was as he is now, a millionaire. The mere
fact that the group has only released one
major album in the group's history should
prove even to the feeble mind that he
cares more for music than for money. His
influence in bringing bluegrass music to
the forefront in the music field should
show that he is a musical innovator and
not a musical imitator. To a simple ear,
bluegrass may sound the same, as does
jazz or classical to the untrained
ear. What Earl Scruggs attempted and
has succeeded in doing, is to show the
capabilities of bluegrass music in a new
vain for its subtle complexities and simple
rurainess. As for the concert in question,
many difficulties arose because of the
physical malfunctions in the PA
system. It is very difficult for a performer
to become personal with an audience that
responds to quiet interludes with fratemic
yells of "raise H-A-Yell Let us add in
the current vernacular that the majority of
the crowd did "get into" the
Revue. Silence during "a number" does
not imply boredom but rather the highest
form of appreciation a mature audience
can give. Since we have both seen Earl
Scruggs three times each, previous to the
EC concert, we feel that we are in a
position to judge the quality of the
performance. It was not his best show,
but then why should it have been. "Now
come ona little bit of culture ain't
gonna kill nobody even if it is
bluegrass. Find your roots.
Disappointedly yours,
Alan Dehmer

Students attitudes 'changing'
Course refle cts black studies interest
By ELERBE WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
Is interest in Black Studies declining? Dr. Norman Rosenfeld, English
professor at ECU thinks not, although attitudes of the students and the
curriculum are changing in relation to the program.
Students are less antagonistic than they were during the late sixties. There
is a greater desire on the part of both blacks and whites to understand the
problems and needs which are found, not only in the classroom, but in their
off-campus iives. Opinions and attitudes are being expressed in a
constructive manner rather than for the sake of argument, and the curriculum
is becoming inter-related with other courses rather than remaining a separate
area of study.
Rosenfeld currently teaches English 277, a black literature course, now in
its fifth year of existence. The course was begun after recognition by the
administration that there was a need for a Black Studies program at ECU.
African Studies were introduced at ECU by Dr. Blanche Watrous,
anthropology professor, whom Rosenfeld referred to as the driving force
behind the program. Courses were begun in the areas of political science,
history, geography, art, anthropology, and English. Rosenfeld was asked to
teach black literature since he was, at that time, teaching many of the
contemporary literature courses.
Rosenfeld recalled sleepless nights when the course first became
available, as black students threatened to walk out on the class, but he feels
that much of the tension has now gone out of the class. "The mood of the
class has changed as the mood of the nation has changed Rosenfeld
said. "The issues are the same but the feelings toward them are somewhat
different
White students are often intimidated or hurt by the attitudes which they
encounter from black students. They begin the course in a position of
sympathy and expect good will on the part of the blacks.
The ratio often varies but there are usually 20 to 35 percent black students
in the class. Even so, Rosenfeld feels he often needs to assure the white
students their role in class. "Many white students have never been on the
defensive-in a minority role so to speak Rosenfeld stated. Problems in the
class are human problems, rather than academic. It is a student against
student confrontation which does not usually occur in other
courses. Literature is often given a secondary place. Art as art takes backseat
to concepts, values and issues related to the art.
Rosenfeld believes that the students should take the initiative in his
courses and that the subject matter is secondary to how it is treated. He
feels, however, that more time should be spent on black literature as art-the
actual writing rather than the problems of black writers. "There is a struggle
by black writers to get beyond the black-white dicotomy. He shouldn't see
himself as a problem. Focusing on black issues as problems lead to
stereotypes Rosenfeld believes.
A general overhaul in the curriculum is forthcoming Rosenfeld feels. The
present program will become interlocked with other programs rather than
continue as an isolated area of study. Authors such as Frost and Faulkner,
who write out of an environment are accepted in their sense of place. Black
writers will eventually achieve this same acceptance.
Rosenfeld does not feel that ten weeks is enough time to cover the many
aspects of black literature. He attempts to establish a perspective to
challenge the student's own prior perspectives.

The course has what Rosenfeld
considers a theraputic effect which is
sometimes painful, especially to the white
students. They become more aware of
how blacks feel and respond.
Black students gain an awareness of
themselves and what their people have"
accomplished. All students are given a
chance to relate to each other on a
personal basis which many of them have
never had before.

f. Meditations
There will be an introductory lecture
on the principles and practice of TRANS-
CENDENTAL MEDITATION on Thursday,
Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. in the Social Science
Bldg room B102. Transcendental Med-
itation is a simple and natural technique
which gives the body deep rest and
relaxation while at the same time letting
the person enjoy more completely his
daily activities.
Weekly meetings for meditators are
held every Sunday in Room 204 of the
student union at 7:30 p.m.
A refresher course for meditators will
be given by the teachers from Raleigh on
the following dates: Thurs. Jan. 31 at
9:00 p.m. in SB 102, Fri. Feb. 1 at 9:00 in
the Methodist Student Center, and Sat.
Feb. 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the ECU Student
Union in room 204. This course is
designed to help review and answer
questions about the practice of T.M. as
presented in the three days of checking
following the start of the technique. The
course is especially for those meditators
who have stopped the practice or are
unsure of their own experiences. Refresh-
er courses in the past have proven to be
very rewarding to all meditators,
especially those having trouble, so please
try to make it to any or all of these
meetings.

Organization promotes
safety while hitch-hiking
(CPS)-People who would like to make
hitch-hiking safer for both motorists and
hikers have started a national organization
called "Hikers for America
For a $5.00 fee members become
registered members of the club, receive
an I.D. card and a numbered ecology
armband.
According to club spokesmen, if one
of the members robs or hassles a
motorist, the motorist should turn in the
I.D. number to authorities who will get in
touch with "Hikers for America" who will
in turn reveal the name and address of the
hiker registered to that number, if charges
are Dressed
While it is unlikely that potential
robbers will register with the group and
wear their armbands during a robbery, it
is hoped that motorists will recognize that
hikers wearing the armband have been
registered with the group and feel safer
about picking them up.
Some California lawmakers have
suggested making a law requiring hikers
to file an application with police and to
pay a hikers license. Hikers for America
fear that such a policy would lead to
unnecessary police checks on hikers and
hope that their organization may be the
best middle course.
People wishing to join the group
should contact Joe Bentivenge, P.O. Box

Sports
Tankers fall to Terps
Thinclads establish state
supremacy in track
Coach Ray Scharf's varsity swimmers
put up a gallant effort against the
University of Maryland on Sunday
afternoon in Minges Pool, but their efforts
fell short as the Terrapins raced to a 63-51
victory.
The loss was the Buc's second in a
week against tough ACC opponents. On
Tuesday evening the Pirates were drubbed
by the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
Scharf felt that the Pirates are
improving as the season winds along,
however the calibre of competition
continued to improve also.
Paul Schiffel and Jack Morrow were
the only East Carolina double winners.
Schiffel swam to victories in the 1000-yard
freestyle and the 200-yard backstroke
events. Morrow was triumphant in the
one and three-meter diving events.
Jim Hadley captured the 50-yard
freestyle event and the Pirate's 400-yard
freestyle relay team of Steve Ruedlinger,
Bobby Vail, Ross Boh I ken and Hadley
was a winner. The Bucs won five of the
13 events.
The swimmers are now 2-4 on the year
and on Friday they hit the road
again. East Carolina will meet a vastly
improved University of Richmond team on
Friday at 4 p.m then they travel up the
road to Charlottesville on Saturday to take
on another ACC foe, the University of
Virginia.
The Pirates are pointing toward the
Southern Conference Swimming and
Diving Championships which will be held
in Minges Natatorium on Feb. 28, March 1
and 2.
Vols edge swimmers
The Pirate Lady swimmers dropped a
heartbreaking 68-63 decision to the
University of Tennessee on Saturday
morning at Minges Natatorium.
The Lady Bucs had a slim 63-61 lead
going into the final event of the morning,
the 200-yard freestyle relay. The Volun-
teers just did nip the Pirates at the finish
line as they were victorious by
sixteen-one-hundredths of a second to
pull out the victory.
Linda Smiley did all she could for the
Pirates' cause as she captured three
events: the 100-yard individual medley,
the 50-yard butterfly and the 100-yard
butterfly.
Sue Bingham and Beverly Osborn were
double winners for East Carolina. Miss
Bingham captured the- one and the
three-meter diving events and Miss
Osborn was victorious in the 50 and the
100-yard freestyle events. She improved
her time in the 100 by eight seconds.
The women, now 4-2 in dual meet
competition, will travel to Columbia,
S.C.on Friday to face Columbia College
and Florida State University in a double
dual meet.

Sparked by a thrilling mile perfor-
mance and the steady strength of their
sprinters East Carolina established its
claim to state supremacy in track and
field Saturday.
ECU scored 68 12 points to defeat
UNC 61 12, South Carolina's 58 and
Duke's 27 in the "Tin Can" at Chapel Hill.
The "Tin Can" is the antique indoor
stadium that UNC played basketball in as
early as 1921, and now houses their
indoor track.
Gerald Klas, the hero uf the mile,
described the gym, "The Tin Can when
you first walk in makes you hink this is a
piece of garbage. It's rer.l a fast track,
it's springy and often misie jding. A lot of
good times are run here
Klas led the mile for the first half
mile, but for the final ten laps continually
fought off UNC's Hamilton for the victory
in 4:14.2.
Klas said, "I really wanted this
race. Last week at Richmond I took
second place and ran a stupid
race. Lately we've been going out slow
and its becoming a kicker's race. I went
out fast, and throughout the race knew
we had to have a win
There were many heroes for the
Pirates.
Art Miller won the pole vault at 14'6"
although two UNC vaulters cleared the
same height. Miller won of fewer misses.
Charles Lovelave of ECU won the 60
yd. dash as the Pirates placed four in the
finals. Ariah Johnson finished second,
Maurice Huntley fourth and Mark
Whitmere fifth.
ECU took first and second in the long
jump with Larry Malone winning with a
leap of 23' 6 1IT and Willie Harvey at 23'
12
In the triple jump Nat Hagger took
second at 45' 8 12" and Lawrence
Wilkerson fourth at 45' 8 1IT.
In the 60 yd. high hurdles Bill McRee
took second in 7.9 seconds and Charles
Maxie was fourth in 8.0.
The high jump saw both Roy Quick
and Glen Russell clear 6'4" for second and
fourth respectively.
In the 600 Palmer Lisane took third In
1:17.4, and Ed Eigsby finished fourth in
the two mile run in 9:24.6. Lovelace took
third in the 440 and with Johnson fifth
with times of 52.0 and 52.4.
Tom Watson and Ivey Peacock
finished third ai ! 'ourth in the shot put.
Watson corr ?nted on his 48' 9 12"
put, "I'm not where I should be because of
my knee jperatr. I look to be throwing
55' or 56' by the conference meet. My
lifting is getting better as is my drive to
the block. I'm benching 310 now but I've
done 350. I've simply got to catch up to
reach my competition
The meet was marred by an obvious
violation in the mile relay. On the final
lap of the final leg ECU'S Huntley was
pressing UNC's runner when the Tarheel
used his arm to shove Huntley causing
him to fall.
Though a controversial incident, this
reporter was three feet from the infraction
and the Tarheel did use his arm, though
the UNC team was not disqualted since
it didn't make any difference .n re final
outcome.
The Pirates travel this weekend to
Neward, Deleware to take on West Va
Deleware, William & Mary and St. John's.
Buc Grapplers down Mountaineers
By DAVE ENGLERT
Assistant Sportd Editor
John Welborn returned home to Boone
Saturday and his East Carolina wrestling
team made it all worthwhile as they
trounced the Mountaineers of Appala-
chian State 36-4.
"We wanted it very much said
Welborn. "The last time we were beaten
was two years ago at Appalachian. That's
prevented us from having undefeated
seasons for three years in a row-provided
we make it through this year
This victory gave the Pirates a 2-0
record in dual meets. More importantly, it
wasaresounding triumph over a possible
heir to ECU'S Southern Conference title.
"It was a good start in our conference
race said Welborn. "The conference
tournament will also be held at Boone. It
appears that William and Mary will be our
biggest challenge, but Appalachian will
be good at some weight classes
Coaching in front of family and friends
in Boone against ASU, his home town and
alma mater, Welborn tended to underplay
the significance of the occasion.
"No different-it's not any more
gratifying Welborn said. "Any victory is
fine with me
"Well, maybe it was just a little more
satisfying Welborn finally admitted.
In one of the most exciting bouts of
the match, senior Glenn Baker decisioned
his ASU opponent 6-5 after being behind
5-0 early in the first period.
Baker competes in the 126 pound
class this year, after having been
Southern Conference champ his sopho-
more and junior years at 118.
"I had thought he and Blair would be
battling for the 118 spot all year said
Welborn. "But when Monroe was injured I
talked to Glenn and for the good of the
team he agreed to move up
"He started oft not up to his potential,
but he's worked hard since his loss
against West Chester and now is doing a
real fine job
The Pirates remain on the road for
their next match, a February 5 encounter
with North Carolina State at Raleigh.
Next home match for the Bucs is that
important conference clash with William
and Mary February 8.

VMI, St. Peters fall to Buc cagers
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
The Pirate's basketball team remained
undefeated at home last week by downing
St. Peters 84-75 and VMI 57-55.
By beating VMI Saturday night on the
clutch free throws of Donnie Owens ECU
set up a showdown Monday night
against Furman for the ?rst place in the
Southern Conference.
The Pirates are 5-2 in the conference
and 9-6 overall.
Wed. night ECU took on Bernie
Ockene's St. Peters club and withstood an
early surge to post the victory.
The Peacocks broke out into a 6-0 lead
before Robert Geter hit a baseline jumper
for the Pirates.
St. Peters continued to stop the
Pirates offensively, and Coach Ockene
explained his strategy.
"The height under the boards hurt
us. We felt we couldn't contest you man
for man, so we felt the 2-3 zone would
take away your middle and boards. But
you hit well from the outside. We knew
we couldn't rebound with you, you
outrebounded us 4-1 in odds
The outside shooting Ockene alluded
to was supplied in the first half by Buzzy
Braman. Braman continually hit his 20
foot jumper to keep the Pirates close.
Nicky White and Geter did a fine job
controlling the boards to keep the Pirates
close.
Nicky White and Geter did a fine job
controlling the boards and ECU led at
halftime 43-39.
The second half saw ECU play their
Best offense of the year, as crisp passing
and shooting prevailed.
St. Peter's continued to hang close
until Kenny Edmonds hit a jumper to
make the score 74-69, and White followed
with a three point play.
A controversial call took place in the
last five minutes when St. Peters
apparently scored a basket from an
outbounds play but the referee said the
ball hadn't been put in play.
Ockene commented, "The call really
cost us five points. Besides my player
scoring and being fouled, East Carolina
went down court and scored. That play
turned the ball game around, I think it was
the key play in the game
The Pirates were led by White's 20
points, Braman's 13 and Geter1 s 10.
On Saturday night Owens continued to
be the thorn in the Keydets side as he
again applied the clincher with two free
throws in the last 5 seconds. A week
before in Lexington, Va. Owens' jumper
won the game for the Bucs.
The Pirates looked ragged throughout
the contest, obviously thinking of their

PIRATE CAGER GREG ASHORN launches a lumpshot over the VMI defense in Saturday
