I Han kins clarifies
traffic study story
William W Hankins, Chairman of the
Ad Hoc Campus Transportation Study
Committee, submitted the following to
correct a previous story regarding the
traffic study situation.
DATE: January 30, 1974
FROM: William W. Hankins, Chairman
Ad Hoc Campus Transportation Study
Committee
TO: Pat Crawford, Editor-in-Chief
Fountainhead
RE: Clarification regarding the status
and responsibilities of the Ad Hoc
Campus Transportation Study Committee
In its meeting on December 11, 1973,
the ECU Faculty Senate approved a
recommendation of the Faculty Welfare
Committee to establish "an ad hoc
committee to study the entire parking and
traffic situation on campus This
committee is to report its findings to the
Faculty Senate at the end of the Spring
Quarter.
The committee consists of 4 faculty
members and 2 students representing
several disciplines. Three committee
members have previously been employed
as city planners-one of the three has a
strong background in transportation
planning.
Although the committee held its first
meeting on January 30th, the transport-
ation study will not begin in earnest until
the first week in March. In the interim the
committee will devote a considerable
degree of its time to preliminary
organizational details and establishing
contact with various individuals and
agencies involved in one way or another in
the development of campus transportation
policies. Recommendations or plans for
any component of the campus
transportation system will not be
forthcoming until mid-Ap ,l at the earliest.
The study will be undertaken with the
assistance of students pursuing a minor
in Urban and Regional Planning. For the
past two years students enrolled in the
course "Urban Site Design" have studied
transportation problems on the East
Carolina University campus. This year's
class will be involved to a considerable
degree in the collection and analysis of
campus transportation data. The data
base obtained through the efforts of the
"Urban Site Design" students will greatly
facilitate the work of the ad hoc
committee.
At the present time students enrolled
in the class "Planning Techniques II" are
assisting the city planner, John Schofield,
in the preparation of a proposal for a
municipal bicycle pathway system. In
order to avoid confusion it should be
noted that this study is independent of
the campus transportation study being
conducted by the ad hoc committee.
However, the ad hoc committee will
certainly give serious consideration to
coordinating its proposals with those
developed by the city.
In May, 1965, a preliminary
development plan was prepared for the
campus by a campus planning
firm. Although the plan contained
campus transportation recommendations,
these proposals are now obsolete due to
developments during the past nine
yearsThe "Physical Plant' section of
the 1972 Faculty Self-Evaluation Report
for East Carolina University recommended
the establishment of a campus planning
board composed of both students and
faculty. Perhaps the Faculty Senate ad
hoc committee will prove to be a
prototype of the permanent campus
planning board envisioned in the
self-study. At a minimum, the committee
will provide the University with the
up-to-date planning data no longer
provided by the preliminary development
plan.

SGA treasurer
Bodenhamer calls for impeachment action
By DARRELL WILLIAMS
News Editor
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer
announced yesterday that he "is taking
impeachment proceedings against SGA
Treasurer Mike Ertis because of his
refusal to sign several requisitions for
money from the SGA Cabinet and the
SGA Executive Council
The dispute involves two requisitions
for SGA money. One is a requisition
asking for enough money from the SGA
Cabinet's budget to mail out newsletters
to all ECU students. Bodenhamer
described the tenative newsletter as "a
speech to the students on what the SGA
has done under my administration since
last May He stated further: "My
administration has initiated 35 to 40
programs so far this year, using funds
from the approximate quarter of a million
dollar SGA budget and I wanted to tell
each student directly, in the form of a
letter, what has been done with his or her
annual $25.50 student fees. The cost of
doing this would be about $617.00 and
there are cheaper ways of doing it; in
fact, I have had some disapprovals of
doing it from other SGA officials, but I
don't want to inform the students of such
a matter by just sliding a note under their
doors
The other requisition is from the SGA
Executive Council asking for approximate-
ly $11.00 for the purchase of a plaque
which bears the words of appreciation to
the ECU Traffic Office from the SGA for
their good service.
In both organizations, only one
member was required to sign the
requisitions (the Executive Council used
"Miscellaneous Funds" and the Cabinet
doesn't have a line-item budget), therefore
money taken from the respective budgets
did not have to be and was not voted
upon.
SGA Treasurer Mike Ertis who,
according to the SGA Constitution, has
the duty "of signing all valid requisitions
for organizations sponsored by the SGA"
declared the requisitions invalid and
refused to sign them. "I am doing this
mainly because I feel that the
organizations as a whole, not individuals
within the organizations, should decide
how the money in their budget should be
spent, especially in such cases as these
SGA Attorney General Tom Clare
issued an advisory opinion on the validity
of these requisitions on Jan. 24. It
states:
In reference to spending requisitions
from the Student Government Executive
Council and Student Government Cabinet,
it is the opinion of this office that monies
appropriated to either the SGA Cabinet or
the Executive Council should be
requisitioned and spent accordingly to the
line items of the appropriation. However,
in cases where the Legislature has
designated a certain amount to be
appropraited to either of the aforemen-
tioned bodies as "Miscellaneous Funds
these funds may be requisitioned by any
member of the respective body to be used
for any costs incurred in the duties of
their office. If a controversy among the
members of the Executive Council arises
as to a certain expenditure, logic and
reason dictate that a general consensus of
that body would be necessary in order to
spend the monies which had been
appropriated to that body as a
whole. However, since money is appro-
priated to the Cabinet with no line items,
any member of the Cabinet may
requisition that money as he and the
President of the SGA see fit.
Ertis is appealing Clares' decision,
which upholds the validity of the
requisitions, to the Review Board which
will meet in the near future. He declined
to comment further on the matter but said
that his main reasons for not signing the
requisitions would come out in the
Review Board decision.
In other action, SGA President Bill
Bodenhamer sent the Publications Board
and the Real House, organizations which
have just recently been appropriated SGA
funds, the following letterultimatum:
"As of today, your constitution has
not been approved by the Student
Government Association Legislature.
Because it states in our Constitution that

piano. Tardifs performance of the
Preludes is the first presentation of the
entire series on the ECU campus.
During the second half of the recital,
Tardif will perform the Sonata No. 6 in A
Major of Prokofieff. Written in Moscow
during World War II, the sonata is often
called the "War Sonata" and is noted for
its extremely violent and angry nature.
Tardif will briefly discuss some of the
salient features of the sonata before his
performance.

The 73 edition of the Buccaneer has
received much attention and various
reactions according to its literary advisor,
Mrs. Mary Sorensen. Mrs. Sorensen has
been literary advisor to the Buccaneer for
eleven years. According to Mrs. Soren-
sen, "The 70, 71, 72 editions were rated
All-American by the Associated Collegiate
Pr ss. Very few of these ratings are given
in the nation
Mrs. Sorensen stated that her role is
one of literary advisor, not a censor. "I
assist the staff in meeting deadlines, by
proof-reading, assisting in the writing of
headlines and captions, in tracking down
bits of information and identifying
pictures. I do not rule on what goes into
the yearbook and what does not. If I find
an article in bad taste, I so advise the
editor. However, I was consulted very
little by the 1973 editor. I did read the
acceptable articles and assisted the staff
member who wrote the interview with Dr.
Kilpatrick
Mrs. Sorensen, in her remarks about
the 73 Buccaneer, commented, "I was not
advised of the format or the attempted art
work. If I had read the copy, I would have
been horrified by the treatment of
religion, but my primary role is only to
assist the editor and staff in expressing
their own ideas
According to SGA by-laws, students
have complete control of student
publications at ECU with financial support
from the Publications Board which is
composed of seven voting members "who
shall be students Non-voting members
are the Dean of Student Affairs, the
Financial Advisor of the SGA, the
editors-in-chief of all publications.
Mrs. Sorensen also gave her views
concerning the quality of the yearbook.
"All students collectively are responsible
ultimately for the quality of the yearbook,
by their choice of student representatives
at all levels. Every editor has his own
unique personality to express; therefore,
each edition has its own character. It also
shows the creativity of the staff
Mrs. Sorensen offered suggestions for
improvement of the Buccaneer saying, "I
feel that every edition should have
sophisticated humor, which is a part of
the college scene every year. Foremost,
the yearbook must give complete
coverage of the events of the year in copy
and photography. Any edition of the

Steia promises 'true experience
with summer trip to Costa Rica
By SUSAN SHERMAN
Staff Writer
How does the idea of spending this
summer in Costa Rica grab you? A month
there may sound better than that dull
summer job you may now see yourself
toiling in. Imagine yourself on one of the
many beaches or snorkelling the live coral
reefs off the Central American
coast. How about a thrilling train ride
over those deep gorges that you imagined
were only in the movies. If none of these
thoughts tickle your fancy, how about
climbing an active volcano, eating a
complete sirloin dinner for about $1.50, or
getting in on a little "night life" in San
Jose. Sounds better all the time doesn't it
- if so, then this is your summer to
journey to Costa Rica.
The East Carolina Department of
Geography and Division of Continuing
Education are offering the summer
session in Costa Rica. Dr. Donald Steila,
in charge of the trip, promises it to be a
true experience. His enthusiasm can
convince any student into going,
im m??i?i HH ??oil
especially when he begins speaking of the
many attractions the group will enjoy.
Dr. Steila emphasized that the course
is designed to stress both the physical
and cultural environment of the
country. In this course, the student can
personally experience each attraction
instead of having to picture it from a
classroom lecture. One example Dr.
Steila utilized to express his point, is the
proposed visit to a large banana
plantation. Reading about the manage-
ment of a banana plantation is nothing
compared to watching the men run around
hauling all those bananas.
"Costa Rica, albeit a small country,
encompasses some twelve distinctive
tropical region life zones, each of which
in turn includes a marked range and
localized diversity of plant associations
and their successional seres This
description of the country comes from the
phamplet prepared by Dr. Steila.
Any student participating in this
venture will not have spent his time in
vain. Nine quarter hours will be awarded
mmmwmm
in both the Undergraduate and Graduate
levels. Another positive fart about the
trip includes NO out-of-state tuition.
Since money is always a factor in a
long jaunt, the truth shall now come to
light. The price of that exciting summer
is $678.00, which includes tuition, round
trip air-fare from Miami to San Jose, and
much more.
Individual course requirements are
small. "Each student will be expected
to: (1) maintain a notebook of field
observations and lecture materials
presented in seminar sessions, and (2)
develop a short term-paper relating to
some aspect of the Costa Rican or
Tropical Environment These require-
ments were also taken from the phamplet.
Application deadline is May 15, but Dr.
Steila urges any interested students to
see him in his office (Social Science A224)
to discuss further details. Only 15
students will be taken on the Costa Rica
summer session and any interested
persons should secure their application
immediately.

only hope that

many people. The school photographer,
for example, can make or break the
pictorial quality of any edition
When asked her reaction to the
four-letter word in the Buccaneer, Mrs.
Sorensen replied, "It seems to me that
rather than using obscenity in a $50,000
publication that will come down to
posterity, it would be wiser to let those
interested in obscenity buy pornographic
literature on an individual basis
Mrs. Sorensen discussed the effect
she believes the '73 edition of the
Buccaneer will have on future editions
saying, "it made the student body aware
of their yearbook. Perhaps the good
editions were taken for granted. Long
hours went into those editions. Several
years the staff worked during Christmas
vacation in an unheated building. One
year, two boys got permission to live in
an unheated dormitory during one week of
their Christmas vacation to meet a
deadling for the Buccaneer. Sports
Editor, John Lowe, in 1970, for example,
worked all night long on a Saturday night
to meet his deadline
"I have great confidence in the ability
and good taste of Gary McCullough, the
1974 editor of the Buccaneer Mrs.
Sorensen commented,

encouragement and
difficult task
According to the June 5,1972 issue of
Newsweek about a dozen yearbooks have
gone out of business altogether, and at
many institutions student editors are
frantically looking for new approaches
that will interest their apathetic
classmates. Some colleges have even had
trouble in assembling a yearbook staff.
School yearbooks are crammed with
portraits of fellow students one scarcely
knows and stories on fraternities,
sororities, athletic teams, and campus
clubs that many do not belong to.
Some universities, particularly those
whose campuses are large ariV diverse,
are trying to buck the trend with annuals
tailored for specific audiences. Black
students at Stanford have just completed
a volume that is notably mainly for
devoting more space to attacking the
university than to worshipping it.
Even the more traditional yearbooks
are radically modifying their formats. The
'73 edition of the Buccaneer is similar to
Princeton's 96 year old "Bric-a-Brac The
Bric-a-Brac consists of two soft-cover
volumes in a slipcase; the first is a
compendium of sports, student and
faculty pictures, and the second is a
75-page exploration of campus life. The
75-page exploration of campus life has
several pages on campus sex, drugs and
alcohol.
As yearbook editors attempt to reflect
the current campus scene, they risk
offending some people. According to the
Newsweek articles, when the LSU
"Gumbo" used nude photos to illustrate
the work of the art department, the book
was condemned to the Louisiana State
Legislature. But the Gumbo sold a record
13,500 copies and went into a second
printing for the first time in its history.
It seems that the current generation of
students at most universities have little
inclination to be nostalgic over college
careers that have contained no more
turmoil and political anguish than
goldfish-swallowing.

Demand for more planners
Urban, regional planning expands
MR. WILLIAM HANKINS
Special to the Fountainhead
Rapid urbanization coupled with the
increasing severity and complexity of the
social, political, economic, and physical
problems confronting contemporary
America has resulted in an increasing
demand for urban and regional planning
personnel.
In response to the increasing demand
for trained planning specialists, the
Department of Geography at ECU
established an undergraduate minor in
Urban and Regional Planning in
1964. During the last nine years 115
students have graduated with a minor in
Planning. Many of these graduates are
currently employed in planning agencies
throughout the Southeast. Other
graduates are currently employed in
graduate schools either in Planning or
related fields and have successfully
completed graduate degrees.
Under the direction of Professor
William W. Hankins, ECU'S program in
urban and regional planning has expanded
to include all aspects of planning
problems. The curriculum currently con-
sists of 41 quarter hours of courses in
urban planning, regional planning, urban
form, planning techniques, planning
legislation, planning theory, and urban
site design.
MAJOR PROPOSED
A proposal for a B.S. Degree in Urban
and Regional Planning was submitted in
November. 1972, by Dr. Robert E. Cramer,
Chairman of the Department of
Geography, and Professor Hankins. A
major step toward implementation of
the Planning Major was realized recently
when the proposal was passed by the
ECU Board of Trustees. Approval must
still be obtained from the North Carolina
Board of Governors. If implemented, ECU
would be one of only three colleges in the
Southeast offering a Bachelor's Degree in
Urban and Regional Planning.
Since the services of urban and
regional planning specialists are so
desperately needed at the present time,
employment opportunities are excellent
for planning graduates. The average
starting salary for graduates of the ECU
planning program is approximately
$8,700. However, several students have
obtained starting salaries in excess of
$10,000.
According to Professor Hankins "Eight
planning positions remain unfilled at the

present time due to an insufficient
number of planning graduates. At one
point during the summer four graduates
of the Urban and Regional Planning
Program were able to choose from
fourteen available planning positions
Those students who pursue graduate work
in Urban and Regional Planning or a
related field subsequent to graduation can
anticipate employment at top-level
salaries.
During the past several years urban
and regional planning students have been
involved in numerous curriculum-related
activities. They have attended con-
ferences at other universities and hosted
two conferences at ECU. They have
toured one of the best examples of
colonial tour planning in America-
Will iamsburg, Virginia, and they visited
the "new town" communities of Reston,
Virginia, and Columbia, Maryland. In
addition, the Student Planning Associ-
ation (SPAN) has sponsored visits to
Strike against tuition hike works
(CPS)-When administrators at the
University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
announced a tuition hike of 24 percent for
the 1973-74 school year, student leaders
were quick to charge the University with
taking excessive income and organized a
tuition strike.
AM the administration denied
i'aes and the strike drew little
support, the Board of Regents last month
ordered a five percent reduction in tuition
costs for the winter and spring
terms. The university had raised its
tuition because it feared it would lose
money from new requirements governing
the residency status of students.
The financial crunch never came,
however, and the school discovered in
November it would raise $3.7 million more
than it expected due "largely" to fewer
students applying for residency status to
pay the lower-in-state tuition, than had
been feared. With the extra funds the
Board decided to spend an additional $2
million on student aid stipends for
graduate teaching assistants as well as
granting the tuition rebate.

Numerous planning students have also
interned in planning agencies through the
Southeast.
Last year the urban form class
analyzed the processes, determinants,
and features of urban spatial structure in
selected cities. The students prepared
term papers on various aspects of the
urban development of cities such as
Paris London, Amsterdam, Savannah,
and Washington, D.C. They constructed
models depicting the transition in urban
form over long periods as graphic aids to
accompany the papers.
CLASSES INVOLVED
The planning techniques classes are
currently involved with projects from the
City of Greenville and Pitt County. One
class is working with the city planner,
John Schofield, on a bicycle system
proposal for the city while the other class
is involved in a county zoning and land
use study for the Greenville-Ayden-Grifton
area. The latter project is being
undertaken with the assistance of Howard
Hurlocker, the Pitt County planner.
Professor Hankins and two planning
students, Susan Sedgwick and Stanley
Watkins, have contracted with the North
Carolina Internship Office to deter nine
the availability of off-campus learning
opportunities for college students in the
five county Mideast Region. This study of
student internship needs within Region Q
is being conducted with the cooperation
of Mr. Ed Jones, Executive Director of the
Mideast Commission in Washington,
North Carolina. The results of this
research effort will be made available to
the North Carolina Internship Office in the
latter part of February.
A campus transportation study will be
undertaken at ECU during the Spring
Quarter by a committee chaired by
Professor Hankins. The committee will be
composed of both faculty and students
representing several academic depart-
ments on campus. Three of the
committee members have held city or
regional planning positions: one has a
professional background in transportation
planning. The study was authorized by
the ECU Faculty Senate. The committee
will present its findings to this body at
the end of the Spring Quarter.

Dr. Ralph Steele
Originator of PRC major ends study, leaves
By JIM DODSON
Staff Writer
Dr. Ralph Steele, the director of the
Parks, Recreation and Conservation (PRC)
department is leaving East Carolina. His
departure will represent the culmination
of over ten years of work and research in
an effort that helped to establish the
program that now exists at ECU. With his
absence the program faces definite
changes in administration and even
possibly in the curriculum itself.
Recenly Dr. Steele talked about his
involvement in the program and offered
some interesting insight into the
formation of the PRC major that is
presently awarded through the program.
He defined its objectives as being, "To
qualify the students for professional
employment, by industry and agencies,
concerned with the development and
management of people-oriented, outdoor-
related programs and resources for
leisure
Included in PRC study are four main
areas of concentration. The first area is
known as the rehabilitative therapeutic
option. It concerns working with people
who through some mental or physical
disadvantagement or other social
condition find themselves confronted with
free time on their hands.
In helping these people, the objective
is to achieve the same psychological
satisfaction that they might otherwise
gain in other activities that they are
unable to participate in.
The second area of concentration is
concerned with community and commer-
cial recreation. This area is aimed mainly
at the "white collar" worker who spends
his time in more commercially-oriented
recreation. Dr. Steele cited two examples
of students working in this area, "We have
a married couple who recently graduated
from ECU and went out to Steamboat
Springs, Colorado. They are presently
working in a low-level managerial position
with a commercial resort outfit. Another
student recently became director of a
county park system in one of the western
counties of the state. He is utilizing his
PRC training by planning and implement-
ing the plans for a comprehensive park
system for that county
The third area of concentration in PRC
is the study of social and youth-serving
agencies such as Boy's Clubs and
community coordinated activities. Gen-
erally PRC does not get too involved with
the social welfare aspects of a community
but does encourage its students to take
courses that would enable them to better
understand welfare programs.
The last area that the program is
specifically concerned with deals
primarily with parks, conservation and
outdoor recreation, and is probably the
single most important area in PRC.
Steele attributes most of the success of
this area, and indeed the whole program,
to the influence of the Outward Bound
program.
"I cannot stress enough the
importance of Outward Bound on our
program here. I believe so strongly in its
influence on us that I can't emphasize it
enough he commented.
This influence began in 1970 when the
program was awarded an initial grant of
$5,000.00 which enabled thirteen stu-
dents, who had been involved in a PRC
minor, that had been established since
1960, to attend and observe Outward
Bound in action. Its influence was
instrumental in the organization and
implementation of the present curriculum
offered and the B.S. professional
non-teaching degree that is now available.
A student contemplating PRC as a
major will find that the program is flexible
in scope and offers a variety of
concentrations while includina thr?p
DR. RALPH STEELE
basic major aspects of study. First the
student must satisfy the basic general
college requirements. Secondly he must
study an established core curriculum of
PRC-related courses. Thirdly he partici-
pates in the four already mentioned
cognate areas which include field trips
and independent travel and study.
Dr. Steele talked about the broad
scope of the program, "We are highly
interdisciplinary in our approach and
encourage our students to take as many
courses as they can in other disciplines
because they will not be just working with
professional recreation people, but with a
broad spectrum of personalities and
ideas
Today there are approximately 120
students working towards a PRC
degree. The program has grown con-
siderably in the past few years, and
seems to be offering rewarding career
opportunities for graduates.
With Dr. Steele's departure from the
program to work on a federally-funded
grant (that involves research on
recreationaly waterway development in
eastern North Carolina), there has been
much discussion as to the fate of the PRC
program. Many feel that it may return to
its previous status under the department
of Physical Education, thus destroying
much of the flexibility and broadening
experiences that the program now offers.
Dr. Steele discussed the current
actions being taken to insure its
continued success, "The whole idea is
looking for someone to replace me as
coordinator in the department is to find a
person who will eventually become the
administrator of the curriculum as
well. We must fine someone capable of
dealing with such an expanded
program. Whoever is chosen, he or she
must have the freedom to develop the
program as they see fit. Dr. Edgar Hooks,
chairman of the Health and Physical
Education Department, has been very
helpful and understanding about the
whole matter. I also think that the
program is almost entirely contingent on
the continued support of the students
As to whether or not he would be
returning to the program Steele replied, "V
can't really say at this time, but I think
that the program will continue to grow as
long as quality and strict control are
maintained. If not, I think it will grow like
mad and then die. If we start going for
quantity as opposed to quality, we're
sealing our own doom
Dr. Steele was asked to reflect on his
past years in the program. "Well he said
with a smile, "it certainly has been as
interesting as it has rewarding. Why did
you know that we've had three pairs of our
students to get married. I wonder if that
says something. We don't charge
anything for counseling though
In a more serious vein he added, "I
suppose frustration motivated me to get
this thing off the ground. Frustration at
seeing the academic conditions present
when we started. School was not doing
what it was supposed to be doing. They
were not reaching the kid's minds, bodies
and spirits. Our sterile classrooms were
producing sterile minds-minds that
needed to be stimulated. That's where
recreation comes in. It certainly isn't all
physical, it deals with the spirit and
attitude of man as well
In conclusion he added, "You know, I
can't tell you the rewards this experience
has offered, but the thing that makes it so
meaningful and worthwhile jan best be
summed up in one word-people. People
make it all worth the time
If people make things all worthwhile
then certainly people who teach and guide
other people must be really something
special. To the students of PRC, Dr.
Ralph Steele has been, and is someone
very special. Whoever replaces him will

AREOSMITH
Columbia KC32006
By J. K. LOFT1N
Staff Writer
As the liner notes on the back of this
album say, "What can a poor boy do,
except play for a rock and roll
band?" After listening to this album one
realized that that's exactly what these five
refugees from the wrong side of the tracks
have taken as their motto. This new
group presents a fairly decent package for
the R&R affecianado, especially consider-
ing their obscure origin. None of the
members has ever been heard of before,
as in the case of Montrose or Doug Sahm,
and this helps to keep the material a bit
unrefined and raw. But there is
something which smacks of things yet to
come. Produced by Adrian Barber, the
album retains much of the energy one
would expect from a live rock and roll
band and the sound is well balanced with
a minimum of electronic gimrock buffs as
the producer of the Allman Brothers' first
album, and while this album isn't quite
the musical statement that that one was,
it nonetheless has some good points.
The opening song, "Make It has
some of the most interesting chord
changes to be found in straight rock and
roll. This is one of Aerosmith's strongest
points. The fact that they do not restrict
themselves to three chords as so many
other "so-so" bands do, doesn't mean
that this album is of consistently high
quality either, for some songs are just
space fillers. "Somebody" and "Write
Me" can be easily forgotten. However,
songs like the aforementioned "Make It"
and their single release "Dream On" give
us a hint that this is a band that will
continue to develop and with a little
refinement and professional direction we
may see the beginnings of something
really promising. Their brand new
single, "Dream On which is perhaps the
best song on the album, or at least the
most unique. A soft ballad with
harpsichord and guitar blending well, it
starts off gently, building a momentum
which does not push, but rather carries
the song along. Lead singer, Steven
Tyler, really shows what he can do on this
number, with his voice sounding
alternately like Dion and Elton John on
their softer works. Tying all of this
together with a memorable melody, it
builds until Tyler's voice goes into a
couple of Robert Plantish flights, finally
returning to its original level. The only
fault in this song is the quality of the
recording on the instruments: it is rather
thin and tinny. A mellow number such as
this should have a corresponding
background rather than a metallic
mellotron and guitar. But the song itself
and Tyler's excellent vocals come through
all of this. The last song on side one,
"One Way Street while in and of itself is
not that good, contains some elements,
particularly the way the two rhythm
guitars are structured with harmonic and
dissonant changes, which proved to be
quite interesting.
The group itself presents a strange
picture on the front cover, particularly
Tyler and lead guitarist Joe Perry, who
have got to be two of the rauchiest
looking rockers around, with the rest of
the band not looking much better. Sup-
posedly from rough backgrounds, they
have channeled their working class energy
into rock and roll (sounds like an old
story, doesn't it, but then that's how the
Beatles started) and have come out with
something that promises to continue to
improve. If this album doesn't seem to be
quite right, just wait for the next one, it
should be.

The movie, "Lady Sings the Blues
drew an impressionable flock of viewers
on campus recently. Perhaps the crowds
turned out for a view of the superb acting
ability exemplified by singer Diana Ross,
an academy award nominee, and for the
suave, strikingly handsome Billy Dee
Williams who played the parts of Billy
Holliday's husband, Louis McKay,
I could not help but wonder how many
people walked away from the movie
unbiased by its lowly depiction of Billy
Holiday overwhelmingly as a dope
addict. Since many students probably
had never heard of or read about the life
of Blues Artist Billy Holiday, I felt like
sharing some interesting findings about
the tragic life of a great lady.
Whites did not get her on dope, and
the fact that Billy was married three times
shatters the lengthly, heavenly romance
which the movie implied that she
had. Most important of all, Billie's
problems as a heroin addict did not
dominate her more sensitive qualities as
an entertainer.
Billy Holiday, bom Eleanora Fagan,
was one of the greatest sensations the
jazz world had ever known. She reigned
and excelled in the company of such
blues and jazz artists as Count Basie,
Dizzy Gillespie, Bill Eckstine and Hazel
Scott during the fabulous jazz age of the
thirties and forties.
Her billing title as "Lady Day" was
indicative of the respect and courtesy
which she deserved and earned in an era
when the Stepinf etch its were rolling
eyeballs and the heavy mamas were
butt-shaking belters.
In a January, 1973, article in Ebony
magazine, friends close to Billy Holiday
described her music as being delicate and
romantic - the type that would fill a
barroom of drunks with the intoxication of
her music. Among her hits were "Stange
Fruit "I'll Get By "Fine and Mellow"
and "On the Sunny Side of the
Street Ms. Holiday once said that she
could never sing anything without "feeling
her music" and without getting into her
song lyrics.
Apparently a highly sensitive artist,
Ms. Holiday would probably be enraged to
view the movie about her life if she could
relive. The drug problems appeared late
in Billie's career when she was arrested
several times by narcotics agents. The
arrests were highly publicized and Billy
attacked the tactics of the government
more than twenty years ago in her
autobiography, "Lady Sings the Blues
"People on drugs, she noted, were treated
as criminals instead of being treated as
sick Finally, she was arrested as she
lay dying in a New York hospital. On the
afternoon of July 17, 1959, at the age of
44, Billy Holiday died.

'Staying On Alone' -
a Stein commemorative
Sunday, Feb. 3 will be the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Gertrude Stein,
American expatriate writer. Fountainhead
presents the following book review in
commenoration.
STAYING ON ALONE: The letters of
Alice B. Toklas. Edited by Edward Bums,
with an introduction by Gilbert
Harrison. Liveright, $11.95. 426 pp.
When Gertrude Stein died in Paris in
1946 at age 72, she left behind her an
apartment in the Hue Christine, a white
poodle named Basket II, an important
collection of modern art. masses of
manuscripts, and Alice B. Toklas. Of all
of these, Alice has been most maligned;
in accounts coming down to us from
Stein acquaintances, Alice was "nicely
ugly sinister, iron-willed, an obstinate
lady with a scynthe-like voice. After 66
years of such description - ever since
Gertrude and Alice began living together
in 1908 - the real Alice Toklas emerges
through her letters.
The first response of the uninitiated to
a photograph of Gertrude Stein and Alice
Toklas is one of shock. Stocky Gertrude,
dressed in outlandish outfits, half
peasant costume, half farm wife's SKirts;
the scythe-thin Alice, an unassuming
bird-like person evenloped in acres of
black, topped with a huge plumed
hat. The costumes rarely varied - and if
people often say Gertrude had a kind of
Semitic mqg Vnentality, a solid Art of
beauty - they never said so for
Alice. Alice was the supporting cast for
Stein; Alice did, in fact, not want to be
noticed. But her hawk-face and drooping
grey eyes made a lasting impression.
MOTHER OF US ALL
Gertrude Stein was a moderately
well off American expatriate, a Baltimore
citizen who spend the last 40 years of her
life in Paris. Most important, Stein was a
writer, "the mother of us all a magnetic
personality who drew andor influenced
Picasso, Hemmingwav. Braque, Sir
Francis Rose, Maris Laurencin, Thornton
Wilder, Carl Van Vechten, some perfect
strangers, and several hundred Gl's who
visited her and Toklas during World War
II. Stein's magnificent self-assurance,
naturalism, original thinking and warmth
made her a personality whose influence
few friends escaped.
SAN FRANCISCAN
And perennially in the shadows
behind Stein was Alice B. Toklas. Toklas,
a San Franciscan, had come to Paris on a
chance visit - and shortly thereafter
moved in with Stein and formed the
Stein-Toklas household. Says Joseph
Barry, "They were a conglomerate, if the
metaphor can retain any sense of privacy,
of interlocking relationships - intellectual
and emotional, physical and sentimental,
and aesthetic. They were the complete
couple Stein and Toklas, Toklas and
Stein - always with Alice Toklas in the
shadows and Gertrude Stein stage front
and loving it. Stein was the genius,
Toklas the protector of genius - and the
darner of socks, cook, typist, proofreader
and gardener.
Stein was expansive, warm, spoiled, a
late riser who wrote into the dawn, talked
endlessly and loved explorations. Toklas
was small and dark, efficient, close-
matched and critical, an early-riser who
weeded the garden, cooked, picked
vegetables and cleaned the house all
?P
before 8 a.m. But the marriage worked,
lasting 38 years until Stein's death on 27
July 1946.
FIERCELY OBSTINATE
It is with Stein's death that
STAYING ON ALIVE begins, recording
Alice Toklas' letters to friends - at first
bewildered and alone, later fiercely
obstinate in her efforts to have all the
Stein works published. "And now she is
in the vault at the American Cathedral on
the Quai d'Orsay writes Toklas, "and I'm
here alone. And nothing more - only what
was. You will know that nothing is very
clear to me - everything is empty and
blurred
VENGEANCE
Alice Toklas' was not a blurred
personality, however, and she set into
perpetuating Stein with a vengence, not
resting until all of Gertrude's books were
in print. Old friends visited, Yale
accepted the Stein manuscripts, 'more
Stein works were printed. Gertrude's
relatives bartered for the collection of
paintings by Picasso, Matisse and others
- and eventually the paintings were
"removed" from Alice's possession. Alice
Toklas was evicted from the apartment
she had shared with Stein; she grew old
and ill writing two cookbooks to support
herself. Young writers and Stein friends
wrote to Alice, asking advice, sharing old
memories, and Alice wrote back with such
charm, intelligence and love that the
"nicely ugly" image loses its meaning.
I don't much like those colds you
are indulging in she wrote Carl Van
Vachten. "Can't you avoid them by strict
application of precautionary measures
Do something, anything
VOLUMINOUS READING
The letters are full of local gossip
(Alice loved it), references to voluminous
reading and to the people who came to
her seeking information on Stein. Since
Toklas was a renowned cook, occasional
recipes were tucked in - omelets, jellied
eggs, poulet celestine, potato quenelles.
Alice Toklas never stopped. "I am just a
memory of Gertrude she said - but those
ALICE B.
who knew felt that, without Toklas' iron
discipline, Stein the writer would never
have surfaced so completely.
Even in her 80's, Alice Toklas was
never really old, never a bore. Her letters
remained dry and alert:
"This nursing home is a fit subject for
a novelette she wrote at age 81. "There
are ten people on the staff and they all
hate each other. In any case they never
agree, and they come bouncing into my
room as it it were a way station and
say: 'Is she here?' and they take
messages for the telephone which never
get delivered
Toklas lived on for nearly twenty
years after Stein's death, twenty years she
simply accepted as her duty to fill. She
filled them with Stein, her memories of
Stein and her writings, the nourishing of
Stein's friends and the young people
newly-interested in her pioneering literary
work.
"Do come back soon writes Alice in
her last letter, dated 9 January 1966. "I
shan't last forever
In March of 1967, Alice loklas died
just one month short of her 90th birthday
and was buried beside Gertrude Stein in
the Pere Lachaise cemetery. "Pensive,
TOKLAS
pale?'tender- eyed like Leah" one friend
had called her, an opposite to the sturdy,
tramping Stein. The union had lasted 38
years - and more, since Alice Toklas has
never truly separated from Stein. In some
way she had managed to be her own iron-
clad person, and Stein's as well.
FAMOUS MARRIAGES
In the past several months "famous
marriages" have been a rage of sorts,
what with exposes on the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor, the Burtons and
most flamboyantly - Harold Nicolson and
Vita Sackvi He-West (PORTRAIT OF A
MARRIAGE). If ever a marriage existed, it
did with Stein and Toklas, a perteu
balance between two persons so different
as to be natural enemies. Stein and
Toklas, Toklas and Stein.
Or as Stein wrote of Alice, "And
certainly (she) all her living then was
happier in living than any one else who
ever could, who was, who is, who ever
will be livina Alice Toklas was quite
happy and had ample love for everyone for
nearly 90 years.

recommended books are Briimin's THE

THIS YOU SEE REMEMBER ME.

Oil squeeze and tax returns
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - The oil squeeze
has caused world oil prices to
skyrocket. The increase will add an
estimated $75 billion to the price that
oil-consuming countries must pay
their economic lifeblood.
This is simply more than most nations
can afford without inviting economic
disaster.
World leaders have been communicat-
int secretly over how to cope with the oil
crisis. The United States has taken the
lead in urging the oil consumers to join
together in planning a common strategy.
Most nations have been reluctant to
challenge the Arabs openly for fear of
losing their oil supply.A few nations,
such as Britain and France, have sought
to make their own private deals with the
Arab oil producers.
But secretly, many world leaders are
saying that prices must be rolled
back. Some are ready to use force, if
necessary, to prevent an oil depression.
Apparently, the message is getting
through to the Arab leaders. Intelligence
reports claim the Arab leaders are
prepared to ease prices.
Even the Russians, who originally
encouraged the Arab price squeeze, are
growing wary. Intelligence reports say
Kremlin leaders now fear that prices could
cause such severe economic dislocations
that it could lead to a rise in fascism
rather than Communism.
It is beginning to look as if world
pressure may force the Arabs to reduce oil
prices.
Behind Mills' Offer: House Ways and
Means Chairman Wilbur Mills, probably
the most powerful member of Congress,
has offered to introduce legislation
granting President Nixon immunity from
prosecution if he will resign. Here's the
story behing this extraordinary offer:
Mills is conducting the investigation
into President Nixon's tax returns. This
was requested by the President himself to
determine whether he owes more
taxes. The central controversy is over the
$576,000 tax deduction he claimed for
giving his vice presidential papers to the
government.
Mills' investigators have now esta-
blished that the deed, turning over the
papers, was backdated to make it appear
that they were donated before July 25,
1969. Thereafter, tax deductions were no
longer allowed for historical papers.
The investigators have also uncovered
that Ralph Newman, the appraiser, didn't
even select which papers should be
donated until November 1969 - four
months after the deadline.
The use of a backdated deed to gain
more than a half-million dollar tax
deduction could indicate possible fraud
and tax evasion. The Nixon tax returns, of
course, were signed by the President and
the First Lady who are legally responsible
for the statements therein.
It's the possibility of tax fraud that
prompted Wilbur Mills to seek immunity
from prosecution for the President in
return for his resignation.
Foreign Fears: Almost desperately,
President Nixon is stressing his foreign
policy skills as the trump card in his
struggle to stay in office. He has told
friends fiercely that no one else is as
qualified as he is to play the delicate
balance-of-power game with the two
Communist superpowers. He has remind-
ed them of his diplomatic achievements in
Peking, Moscow and the Middle East.
The White House took pains to inform
newsmen that the President sent
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger daily
guidance instructions during the sensitive
negotiations in the Middle East.
But the secret diplomatic messages
from around the world indicate that Nixon
is hurting, not helping, American foreign
policy. The dispatches from Europe, in
particular, suggest that our European
allies have lost confidence in Nixon and
are worried about his ability to cwnrnit
the United States. It is clear from the
secret messages that theWestem alliance
is deteriorating. .
In the Middle East, Kissinger
encountered guarded but anxious
inquiries about Nixon. The Israelis, who
had counted heavily upon Nixon's
support, expressed special concern that
he is losing his power.
Even in the Kremlin, according to the
secret intelligence reports, there is an
understanding that Nixon has been
mortally weakened. The messages from
Peking, typically, are more enigmatic.
But increasingly, Kissinger appears as the
man who is holding Ampican foreign
policy together.
Privately, State Department strategists
are saying Kissinger could do this even
better under a President Ford than
President Nixon.
An Antltax Year: The Internal Revenue
Service is afraid 1974 might be a bad
year. Voluntary compliance is the
bedrock of the tax system. Audits are run
only on a random basis. Therefore, the
government must depent upon the
honesty of its citizens to collect taxes
The IRS is afraid that the voluntary
system has been eroded by the events of
the past year. First, ex-Vice President
Spiro Agnew was caught cheating on his
taxes. Now President Nixon, himself, is
in tax trouble.
But more than anything else, the high
profits and low taxes of the oil companies
are stirring up antitax feelings. Many
Americans no longer feel they are taxed
fairly. For every dollar that the oil
companies escape paying in taxes must
be made up by the rest of the taxpayers.
The energy crisis has also presuaded
some people that they can ger away from
cheating on their taxes. For weeks now,
the IRS has been receiving complaints
about price gouging at the gas
pumps. Yet only a few stations have been
taken to court. The IRS simply doesn't
have the manpower to run down all the
complaints.
So Americans have seen many station
get away with charging outrageous
prices. The aura of enforcement once
surrounding the IRS has been damaged
and our IRS sources say some people may
be encouraged to fudge on their tax
returns.
The revelations of 1973, in other
words, might have serious consequences
for the IRS in 1974.

To Fountainhead, S.G.A. and students as

5 reasons why we needed originally

1. Scholarships
2. Tours and concerts
3. Sheet music
4. Repair and replacing instruments
5. Buses and instrument trucks
In case you don't know it, there is
inflation (value cost of money on products

As for Dr. Jenkins, all he wants is 2 yr.

Maybe it is too late to change
anything. Personally, School of Music

Bicycle paths
Editor's note: The following letter
forwarded to us by City Planner John
Schofieid. The information given Foun-
tainhead in the article mentioned was
supplied by SGA President Bill
Bodenhamar.
Mr. Bill Bodenhamer
Student Government Association
East Carolina University
Greenville, North Carolina 27834
Dear Mr. Bodenhamer:
In reading the recent article on bicycle
paths in the Fountainhead, I noticed
several errors that perhaps should be
corrected before a misunderstanding
develops.
The article implies that the bicycle
route plan is ready for implementation.
However, neither the City nor the campus
transportation study committee has
reached the point of even determining
where the bicycle routes should be
located. In fact, the data for the study
being undertaken by the City has not even
been totally collected, much less
analyzed. It was also stated that the cost
of the system would exceed $75,000.
Since the route has not been developed as
yet, the cost estimates cannot be
determined. However, I do not think that
the final costs will even begin to approach
those mentioned in the article. No appro-
priation or even committment of funds
has been made on the part of the City. In
fact, we will not be in a position to
present the City Council with a final plan
until early spring.
I am aware of the committee that has
been formed by the University to study
the intra-campus transportation network.
However, the study being conducted by
the City, although utilizing the assistance
of an urban planning class at the
University, has no relationship to the work
being done by that committee. Mr.
Hankins and I are both interested in
developing an overall coordinated
transportation network, but our work is
being done independently of each other.
In closing, I would like to say that the
bicycle plan being developed by theCity of
Greenville will very definitely take into
account the travel patterns of the
University students, once these patterns
are determined. However, it may perhaps
be premature to suggest definite routes
when the supporting data is not yet
available. I would appreciate any
assistance that the Student Government
Association could offer in the develop-
ment of the bicycle route study, but I
would suggest that future public
statements be held until the plan is
finalized.
Sincerely,
John Schofield
City Planner
SGA report
To Fountainhead:
On Monday, February 4, 1974, at 6:00,
in the auditorium of the Nursing Building,
I will be giving a detailed report of the
East Carolina University Student Govern-
ment Association since May 1, 1973. I
will also include programs in which I
intend to introduce to the legislature
between now and the time our term in
office is over.
I feel this will be the most important
meeting of the Legislature because this is
where you as administrators and faculty
members can evaluate how effective my
administration has been in the last year.
I am req jesting that you attend with
other students, administration officials,
and faculty because you are a part of the
reason our year in Student Government
has been successful. My entire cabinet
and staff will also be attending this
meeting because they have been the
backbone of the programs which are now
being formulated or already in operation.
I hope you will be able to attend, if I
can assist you please feel free to call on
me.

' Nixon presided over a conspiracy - Coffin
By TRISTRAM COFFIN
THE WATERGATE CRIMES - "Test-
imony before the Senate Watergate
hearings and the guilty pleas of Jeb Stuart
Magruder and Frederick La Rue have
established that the White House in
1972-73 was the center of multiple
conspiracies climaxing in the break-in of
the Democratic National Committee and
the subsequent illegal efforts to obstruct
justice and conceal the involvement of
higher-ups Former White House coun-
sel John W. Dean III has testified that Mr.
Nixon has put forward several rebuttals
that have been evasive, contradictory and
incomplete (Times, September 30)
Lawyers for the Senate Watergate
Committee, both majority and minority
counsel, told a Federal Court: "As
demonstrated in our Statement of Material
Facts, there is sufficient evidence to
establish a prima facie that the President
was engaged in criminal conductWe
trust the court will recognize that the
reference to the President's own possible
criminality is not recklessly made
Nixon's guilt or innocence has to be
weighed against his record. As "The
Strange Cast of Richard Milhous Nixon"
by former Congressman Jerry Voorhis
shows, he has used a viciousness rare
even in American politics against those he
calls "enemies political rivals or
critics. Even today the stories of his first
campaign against Voorhis and for the
Senate against Helen Gahagan Douglas
are shocking-falsified information and
almost obseven vulgarity. The basic
Nixon assumption is "that anyone
opposed to Richard Nixon, must be in
some manner or another subversive
Thus, any tactic is fair game.
Nixon has never shown any
extraordinary respect for the letter of the
law and ethnics. Irving Wallace reports:
"In handling his first lawsuit, a case that
was heard in 1937 and went on until 1940,
President Nixon was accused by a Los
Angeles judge of unethical' behaviour,
threatened with 'disbarment and himself
sued by his client for mishandling her
case
In the case, Los Angeles Municipal
Court Action No. 457600, December 10,
1937, "Nixon committed a grave blunder
that damaged his own client. When Nixon
tried to make up for it by submission of a
questionable affidavit, he was charged by
the bench with conduct unbefitting an
attorney, and threatened with expulsion
from the Bar
Judge Alfred Paonessa stated, "Mr.
Nixon, I have serious doubts whether you
have the ethical qualifications to practice
law in the State of California. I am
seriously thinking of turning this matter
over to the Association
VIOLATION OF BILL OF RIGHTS - The
1st and 4th Amendments to the
Constitution guarantee, among other
things: "freedom of speechthe right
of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the Government for a redress
of grievances .The right of the people to
be secure in their persons, houses,
papers and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures
President Nixon presided over a
conspiracy to deprive his "enemies" of
these Constitutional rights. The White
House seems to argue that "the inherent
power of the President to protect national
security permits burglary, wiretapping,
surveillance, and other violations of the
law (Times, September 27)
Daniel Ellsberg and the "Gainesville
Eight" were particular "enemies" because
they were effective in turning opinion
against Nixon's war in Southeast Asia -
Ellsberg by revealing the "pentagon
Papers the Vietnam Veterans Against
the War, by the poignant and shocking
testimony of soldiers, many of whom bore
the horrible scars of war.
John D. Ehrlichman testified before a
Los Angeles County grand jury in June
that "President Nixon 'specifically
approved' a venture to the West Coast by
E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy to
develop information on Daniel Ellsberg
and the Pentagon Papers leak
(Washington Post, October 2)
Ehrlichman was asked, "What was
your understanding of the investigative
methods used by Mr. Hunt and Mr. Liddy
in the course of their investigations?" He
replied, "Only that they wre to conduct
themselves in such a fashion that it did
not appear that the White House was
directly involved
Ellsberg was put on trial and the office
of his psychiatrist burglarized by White
House agents.
Three alleged Watergate conspirators,
James McCord, Alfred Baldwin and Jeb
Stuart Magruder, have said part of their
"mission" was to investigate the
WAW. The veterans were bugged and
infiltrated by paid piovocateurs, and
seven put on trial in Gainesville for
plotting the violent disruption of the GOP
National Convention.
They were found innocent, and crime
reporter Fred J. Cook writes in The Nation
(October 1): "A jury composed of middle
class Florida citizens said, at least by
implication .it is time to stop framing
dissidents for politcal purposes throught
the use of unreliable and sometimes
psychotic informers turned agents
provocateurs; it si time to stop using
authoritarian methods A defendant, a
former first lieutenant, said, "For the last
fourteen months the Government
completely controlled my life. It was
fourteen months of hell
By contrast, Attorney General Mitchell
-of used to call a grand jury to investigate
;he fatal shooting of four Kent State
students in 1970. They were protesting
the Cambodian invasion, and that made
the difference. Information gathered by
Congressional investigations indicates
thai a key figure at Kent State was
employed by the FBI and now works as an
under-cover agent for Nixon's pet police
force, that of the District of Columbia.
THE RATIONALE - Congress should
act, because, as Hugh Sidney, Time
Washington bureau chief, said on radio
(September 28): "Perhaps we are at a
time in our national life when the men and
women of power and intelligence and
good will should openly consider, if the
White House will not, how to remove an
Administration blinded now to national
interest and seemingly bent on
self-destruction
Business Week (September 29)
reports, "President Nixon has been able
to give only perfunctory attention to the

Math laboratory offers individual assistance
By BARBARA TURNER
Staff Writer
Since the summer of 1970 students
have been going to the Math Lab for
assistance as well as preparation for Math
65.
"I couldn't have made it without it
said one Math 65 student.
Although some students dislike the
amount of time required for lab work,
most feel that the lab is worth their time.
There are two types of instructional
programs in the lab. One involves
independent study, held every hour, (8-4),
in Austin 110 and lecture held at 9, 11,
and 1. Students have a choice of either
instructional programs. In independent
study, the student has his or her own
workbook and works at his or her own
pace with individual help from the lab
staff which includes lab director, Vann
Latham, Dr. Robert Joyner, eight
work-study students, and Mardy Brown,
research assistant, who are on hand to
offer assistance Monday through Friday.
The lecture is based on the traditional
math class approach.
Aside from offering assistance to
students placed in the lab, the lab also
offers assistance to puzzled Math 65
students. The Math 65 students receive
help on an individual problem basis, not a
tutorial basis.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
"We have more lab staff, therefore we
can give more individual attention to
people in independent study. We have
been through a three year period of trying
different methods of both lecture and
independent study. As a result of this, we
have adopted our current methods which
we believe will be effective in the
preparation of students for Math 65 said
Latham. Changes are still taking place in
the lab.
Dr. Pignani, chairman of the Math
department, says, "in our testing
programs we are finding a group of
students that can take two new
courses: Math 63 or 64, in place of Math
65. These new courses have the same
Syllabus and text as Math 65. They will
meet five times a week, but will receive
two hours credit for Math 63 and three
hours for Math 64. We feel that some
students could do better at a slower pace,
therefore they will be able to take 63 and
64 rather than the one quarter of lab and
one quarter of Math 65. Math lab will still
be open for the weakest students. Often
we need a trained psychologist to
determine how the student acquired his
deficiencies. We have a big job he
added.
A big job indeed! Vann Latham said
that although the number of students
varies from quarter to quarter, 120
students are enrolled in the lab this
quarter.

'Land of the free' opens personal letter,
terminates foreign students's scholarship
(CPS)-A foreign student at Montana State
University has had his scholarship
terminated because a letter containing his
political views reached the Agency for
International Development (AID) which
sponsored his scholarship.
Abubakar S. Ibrahim, a 25-year old
Nigerian student, has written a letter to
his father in early December expressing
disenchantment with certain US policies
and discussing South African politics.
The letter reached the university's
Foreign Student Advisor, Helen Simpson,
who said it had already been opened by
the post office. She then telephoned AID
in Washington, and discussed the letter
with Robert Doan, Program Specialist for
m
?
m
International Training, because, she said,
it was "something I had to do She said
she felt AID should be informed of
Ibrahim's attitudes because the federal
government was picking up the tab for his
education.
Ibrahim received a call from Doan who
told him, "If I hear any more about you I
am going to create enough problems for
you in Nigeria so that even your country
won't accept you
Dr. Richard B. Landis, director of the
university's Center for Intercultural
Programs said Simpson had "acted highly
irregularly" in reporting the contents of
the letter to Doan. Landis later contacted
Doan, who informed Landis that Ibrahim
should not stay on at MSU and that his
AID funding would expire January 23
anyway.
However, AID terminated Ibrahim's
funding in late December, thus preventing
him from registering for the winter term at
MSU. He is now in Washington meeting
with the Nigerian ambassador to see if his
country will pay for his education.
University authorities are still investi-
gating to determine who opened the
letter.
In a letter to his fellow students at
MSU Ibrahim wrote: "It is better for
foreign students to realize they don i have
the right to their own views in the land of
the free
the lab's organization, thoughtfully Mr.
Latham said, "Placement is our big
problem. We need an effective in-
structional program that will reform the
student's skills and attitudes toward
math; so he will be ready for an effective
learning experience in Math 65. Most of
the students we have, have had bad
experiences with math in high school and
before. Such an experience often
produces a bad attitude towards math and
this has an adverse effect on their
learning math in college. However, many
students in the lab take the course very
seriously and do an outstanding job in
spite of past experiences and preent
frustrations. The students are resp r Jing
very favorably to the efforts of the nath
lab staff to provide a good proqram '
But, the math lab has alwey; done
considerable research related to student
achievement, high school math grades,
and other factors relevant to the lab's
operation. Mardy Brown, lab research
assistant, gathers data concerning
student performance in one math lab and
in Math 65.
Summer jobs
The Mayor's New York City Urban
Fellowship is now accepting applications
for the 1974-75 , ademic year.
The program spans the entire
academic year, from September through
June. During this time, students work
with a City agency four days a week and
participate in a seminar on the fifth
day. Speakers from all areas of the City
government and also interesting persons
that live in New York City area are invited
to direct these seminars.
A stipend of $4,000 and transportation
to and from New York City are provided by
the city of New York. In addition,
participating universities contribute in
addition $500 to the stipend and grant
academic credit.
All students who are seniors or
graduate students may apply. Appli-
cations can be obtained from the
Financial Aid or Fellowship office at your
respective universities or write to:
Dr. Leonore Loft, Director, New York City
Urban Fellowship, 250 Broadway, New
York, New York 10007.
The past five years have shown that
the Urban Fellows learned much from
their experiences and have also
contributed to the improvement of City
government.
The deadline for applying is February
15.

Energy crisis seriously effects students
(CPS)Most of the effects of the energy
crisis on college students are, so far,
trivial, limited mainly to colder, darker
campuses, though education officials
across the country are just beginning to
verbalize some of the potentially
disastrous effects, including revised
calendars, extended vacations and high
costs of living and education.
In testimony before the Senate
Education subcommittee last week, a
HEW official said the energy crisis will
hurt low-income students attending
community college, vocational and
technical schools much more severely
than others. Among problems low-
income students in particular will have to
face are rising f ' bills resulting in higher
tuition and h? er gasoline costs for
commuters. Part-time and evening stu-
dents wi.l suffe. if schools close or curtail
schedules in order to conserve fuel or
reduce operating costs.
According to the President's National
Comission on Financing Postsecondary
Education every $100 increase in tuition
forces at least 2 12 percent or 175,000
public college students out of
school. The National Student Lobby
(NSL) said the increase in cost for the
average commuter who travels ten miles
to school and pays a 20 cent increase in
the price of gasoline equals a $100
increase in tuition.
NSL president Arthur Rodbell, in a
letter to chief energy Willie Simon,
listed nine effects of the eneigy crisis on
students: winter term closings; summer
employment losses due to forced makeup
sessions; breakup of school year
employment with no compensation,
increased costs of commuting to and
from campuses; threats of parking taxes
levied by the Environmental Protection
v Agency; increased costs of interstate
travel with the phasing out of youth
standby fare discounts on airlines rising
costs of materials to produce student
educational tools; Committee for
Economic Development and Carnegie
Commission recommendations to double
tuitions and too little financial aid to
compensate for increased costs of
education.
Over an extended period of time the
problems of the energy crisis are
"frightening" Stephen K. Bailey, vice
president of the American Council on
Education said. Bailey cited two pro-
blems due to the energy crisis: schools
that opt for schedule adjustments
concentrate classes during daylight
hours causing difficulties for part-time
and night students. "The elimination of
night and weekend classes would almost
destroy opportunities for part-time
students, who number in the millions
women, particularly could be hurt by any
substantial reduction in part-time
educational opportunity he said.
The second problem Bailey mentioned
is gasoline rationing and the problems it
would pose for commuting students.
A prolonged energy crisis could
convert the traditional summer vacation
for Northern students to winter vacation
in order to save fuel, the Association of
American Colleges said. On the other
hand Southern colleges may have to give
up summer terms because of high air
conditioning costs.
Harold Webb, a representative from
the National School Board Association
told a Senate committee vocational
training and adult education programs
utilizing high powered machinery and
electronic equipment could be endanger-
ed. "Indeed Webb said, "many workers
may first find themselves without a job
because of the energy crisis and then
without a public institution to help them
qualify for other employment
College and university administrators
also worry that major sources of revenue,
namely private philanthropy and income
from endowments will be threatened by
an unstable stock market.
Many schools are holding indoor and
outdoor athletic events during the day to
save lighting costs and activities such as
travel for athletics and debate teams have
been cancelled or cut back. Cancellation
of athletics may cause athletes who are
on athletic scholarships or other aid to
drop out of school or find other sources
of aid.
Fuel shortage caused a number of
colleges and universities in the northeast
to end their first term before Christmas
and delay the opening of their second
terms until late January or early February.
All over the country colleges and
universities are continuing crash pro-
grams of lowering thermostats, reducing
indoor and outdoor campus lighting,
forming student and faculty car pools and
closing little-used buildings in attempts
to cut energy use by 10 to 25 percent.
The Federal Energy Office's (FEO)
mandatory fuel allocation programs
require colleges and universities to reduce
indoor heat ten degrees or otherwise save
the equivalent amount of fuel.
Although elementary and secondary
schools were listed as Category I or
highest priority fuel users by the FEO,
colleges and universities are not, because
the FEO says the former have to be
warmer because they are so young while
college students should be treated like
other adults.
Under the FEO guidelines non-
residential college and university build-
ings are Category II consumers and forced
to fight for heating oil left over after the
needs of Category I users have been
fulfilled. Dormitories, however, qualify as
residences and only have to lower
temperatures 6 degrees.
There are some bright spots in the
picture. The need for energy has resulted
in better employment prospects for
engineering graduates. Many campuses
may save money by fuel cutbacks.

Women's group
gets national
affiliation here
The largest organization in the United
States for undergraduate college women,
the Intercollegiate Association of Women
Students (IAWS), is now on the ECU
campus.
Last year, under the sponsorship of
the Women's Residence Council, the
IAWS on campus received its national
affiliation.
However, this organization is for all
female undergraduate students - any
classification, any major, any political
thought, in-state, out-of-state, sorority,
residence hall, or day students. IAWS
believes that women must identify,
explore, develop, and utilize their
individual potentials now and throughout
their lives. The organization believes that
a vital part of every college woman's
education is her opportunity for active
participation in various experiences wtiich
prepare here for a more meaningful life.
IAWS is not a women's liberation
movement, but rather an expression of
women's movement for equality. It is
concerned with continuing education,
career and recreational opportunities,
racial issues, political and civic
responsibilities, and international con-
cerns.
At East Carolina IAWS will represent
all the women. It will survey their needs
and concentrate on these. Such activities
may include campus health services,
career counseling, child care services, the
two-profession family, human sexuality,
preventing assaults, and supporting
legislative action favorable to women,
including the Equal Rights Amendment.
If you are concerned about women
students and are interested in IAWS
please contact Betty Nixon Byrum, 404
Old London Inn, or call her at 756-4380.
Liz Carpenter, former Press Secretary
to Lady Bird Johnson, made these
pertinent remarks. "There is a little bit of
the liberationist in every woman. Most of
us are somewhere between the soft,
gentle perception of Anne Morrow
Lindbergh and the biting brilliance of
Germaine Greer. We need the poets as
well as the zealots. We need all women,
young and old, married and single,
welfare women trying to cope, and the
frustrated housewives determined not to
surrender their boredom to the bottle and
become suburban alcholics - one of the
real problems of our times, our suburbs
and our sex

BOXING
z
As I was listening Monday night to the Ali-Frazier fight a dear friend made the
comment. "Boxing is a stupid game
I take issue with that statement. I'm not defending a position on whether Louis,
Johnson, Marciano or Ali is the greatest of all time. I'm defending what some people
call a sport, but what in reality is a glimpse of human struggle. How else can you
explain the almost total male admiration for fighters. The Harris poll in 1971 rated
heavyweight champions the most admired athletes in the world next to the Olympic
decathlon gold medalist.
A man loved or hated by all, Howard Cosell, gave this view of boxing, "There is a
quality about boxing that attaches to no other sport. Well, maybe not boxing, maybe
the men who fight, rather than the science itself. They are the most interesting of
athletes, for they seem to have the deepest feelings of life. Theirs is a lonely sport, at
times ugly, brutal, naked. You have to get inside a ring to appreciate how small it
is. You wonder how men can ever escape
The TV. camera records the fun and games of a training camp, yet the exhibition is
only a rest period to the boxer.
Take a man like Marciano. Each morning at 5 a.m. he ran six miles, had breakfast
and then to the gym for two or three hour workouts. Rounds of boxing, weight-lifting
for the arms, countless sit-ups for the stomach, endless jumping robe for agility and
speed and arm numbing crashes into a speechless monster called the heavy bag.
And then the ring. What goes through a boxer's mind when he looks across the ring
at an opponent. Fear. Hate. The months of preparation. In no other sport is one
confronted with so simple a task. And in no other sport, not track, bowling, tennis or
any of the team sports, does a man hold total responsibility for the outcome within
himself. All the days of struggle are concentrated in a dozen three minute clashes,
with no timeouts, no time to think of the next play, and no substitutions.
In the beginning freshness overturns all thoughts, but as the rounds recede what
goes through to that sweat surrounded nerve center?
Sonny Liston was quoted as saying he hoped to kill a man in the ring. Frazier stalks
his prey relentlessly. Marciano could not hide the thought of being the strongest man
in ring history, andhis ego often overshadowed his skill in combat. Louis fought with
pride. Dempsey was a puncher.Tunney a thinker and Patterson a "lover Critics say if
Patterson could have hated like Liston he would have never lost. Ali has been
condemned and Foreman cuts wood.
Outside the ring they surround themselves with softness and luxury, but most of all
freedom. For their thoughts are always brought back to that ringed prison, yet their
flesh must escape and breathe.
Though through the years scorned because of gangsterism and corruption, boxing
has survived. Thirty million dollars was grossed on the rematch of Ali-Frazier, and
double that is seen for a title match between Foreman and Ali.
Next time you pass a ring stop a minute and step inside. If you have any
imagination at all, you'll breathe easier when you escape.
As a matter of debate, my all time list of heavyweights:
1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Rocky Marciano
Joe Frazier
Archie Moore
Gene Tunney
Floyd Patterson
Jack Dempsey

JOHN WELBORN, coach of the East Carolina wrestling team, will lead his

season,
every n
Crumpli
upend?
Judging by the past few seasons, it
would not be far-fetched to say that
wrestling has reached the "big time" at
East Carolina University.
When John Welbom took over the
reigns as coach in 1967, Pirate wrestling
fortunes began a steep rise to
success. Finally, in the 1971-72 season,
his grapplers steamrolled to East
Carolina's first Southern Conference
wrestling championship, bringing to an
abrupt end William & Mary's four-year
domination of the conference.
Some were saying it marked the end of
one dynasty and the beginning of another,
an assertion which became even more
credible in 1972-73, an East Carolina
swept seven of the ten individual titles in
the conference tourney to claim its
second straight championship.
In fact, the Pirates may have two
wrestling dynasties going at the same
time. For, East Carolina has been the
kingpin of collegiate wrestling in the state
NCAA committee safeguards athletes
of North Carolina for quite a while,
dominating the N.C. Collegiate Wrestling
Championships every year since the
annual event was conceived five years
ago.
The 1973-74 season indicates the
possibility of even bigger successes in
East Carolina's wrestling future. As a
warmup for the 1974 dual meet season,
the Pirates ravaged the eastern seaboard
tournament circuit, capturing team titles
in the Colgate Open, Thanksgiving Open,
Maryland Federation, Georgia Tech
Invitational and N.C. Collegiate tourna-
ments to firmly establish themselves as
the Number One wrestling power in the
South.
The Pirates climaxed their 1973-74
tournament travels by pulling off an
unprecedented feat in the N.C. Collegiate
tournament: they swept all ten of the
individual titles to further bolster their
dominance of college wrestling in the
state. And so far this year in dual match
competition, the grapplers are 2-0 with
big wins over West Chester State and
Appalachian State.
The wrestlers will next take on N.C.
State on Tuesday in Raleigh.

The National Collegiate Athletic
Association's Committee on Competitive
Safeguards and Medical Aspects of
Sports has adopted an official policy
statement regarding the use of athletic
trainers and physicians by member
institutions.
The Committee is strongly in favor of
the use of qualified trainers and athletic
Tfsicians, as evident in the following
statement:
"The task of determining an athlete's
medical eligibility for participation, when
given to team physicians andor qualified
athletic trainers (those meeting certifi-
cation requirements of the National
Athletic Trainers Association) provides
the coach and the athlete an informed
estimate of the significance of an injury or
other atypical condition. Further, it
provides responsible medical supervision
for visiting teams and tourney contests
hosted by an institution.
"The NCAA Committee on Competitive
Safeguards and Medical Aspects of
Sports urges all collegiate institutions to
strive for quality medical supervision of
their athletic programs and to support the
decision-making prerogatives delegated to
these personnel. The team physician and
certified athletic trainer are bringing
professional assistance to athletic
programs at a time when accountability
within these programs is beginning to
require such assistance

League draft, ECU quarterback Carl Summerell and tailback Carlester
Crumpler were both selected in the fourth round. The New York Giants picked
Summerell, who broke many East Carolina passing records this past
season. Crumpler was grabbed by the Buffalo Bills, after shattering virtually
every rushing mark in the Pirate record book. Here, Summerell hands off to
Crumpler who skirts around left in action early in the season when the Bucs
upended Southern Mississippi down in Hattiesburg, 13-0.
