Where do they go?
Student fees
By SUSAN QUINN
and
GARY GIBSON
Special to Fountainhead
The following is the first part of a two
part series concerning student fees - how
much they are and where they go.
Have you ever taken a good look at
that receipt for your tuition and fees that
the cashier gives you at the beginning of
each quarter?
If you are a dorm student you pay
$117.50 room rent and $2.50 laundry
fee If you are a non-resident you pay an
additional $256. Then there are three fees
that everyone pays: $88 for tuition and
registration, $12 for medical fees and $46
for other fees.
Out of this $46 for other fees, $22 is
used for debt service. According to Cliff
Moore, Vice Chancellor for business
affairs, each student pays $4 per quarter
for indebted revenue on the student
union, $7 for a Minges Coliseum debt, $3
for the north, student-side of Ficklen
Stadium and $8 for the new student
union. Moore said that the $22 debt
service will decrease as the individual
debts are paid and consequently students
will pay less fees.
The other $26 of students' fees are
divided as follows: Nine dollars per
quarter per student goes to the athletic
fund; $2.50 goes to a special fund, $2 is
spent on intramurals and 50 cents is used
for miscellaneous purposes; $4 is used
by the ECU Union to cover expenses of
entertainment; and $8.50 is used by the
Student Government Association.
SGA FUNDS
The SGA receives approximately
$240,000 in student funds each year,
including summer sessions. This is a
little less than $80,000 each regular
quarter.
When asked if this amount is a
workable budget sum, Mike Ertis, SGA
treasurer replied, "I think it's too damned
much. I think $50,000 a year would be
more than enough
"We have no business giving the

European Studies Program, chats with Mrs. Jenkins and Bob Lucas, International
Affairs representative of the ECU Student Government Association.
Hobgood describes Union plans for next year
Wade Hobgood, a senior art major
from Wilson, has been chosen as
president of the ECU Student Union for
the 1974-75 school year.
Hobgood is a double major in
commercial art and painting and will
graduate in spring of 1975. He is former
chairman of the Special Concerts
Committee, a position he has recently
resigned to prepare for his new position
as president.
In a recent interview with Fountain-
head, Hobgood discussed his upcoming
year as president of the union.
"The new officers of the Student Union
will take office on May 1 and up until that
time I will be working on the budget for
fall quarter and trying to break down the
money. Beginning in March we will select
the chairmen of the different committees
and following that the chairmen will
choose the members of their commit-
tees explained Hobgood.
The new president discussed a few of
the new programs that are planned for the
Union next year.
"One of the biggest jobs to be taken
care of before next year is the addition of
new programs to the Union. I think we
have several good things planned for
ECU. One of these is a videotape program
where the students can view tapes of
concerts. We tried this earlier this year
with a videotape of a country-bluegrass
concert from Nashville, Tenn. We had a
lot of good reactions to the tape and so
we are going to try it next year with tapes
of other types of concerts he related.
Another program that is being
discussed is a travel program through
which students could sign up for travel
opportunities.
"Several other schools have a program
where the student pushes trips abroad
and within the country for the students to
take. For example, the Travel Committee
would sponsor a trip to Switzerland or
New York or the Bahamas. The
committee would work up all the publicity
and then any student who was interested
could pay their money and go on the
trip. There is a chance that the trips
would be subsidized by the Union which
would give the students cheaper costs
said Hobgood.
He also mentioned that traveling art
exhibits, much like those on display in
the Kate Whichard Gallery, would be on
the only way the Pops Committee can
make it is with student support he
commented.
"There's just no way we can get the
really big name bands that the students
want. We don't have the facilities. If a
student wants to pay $15 per ticket to see
Elton John and not be guaranteed a seat
in a standing room only crowd and then
probably end up standing in the back
corner of the auditorium we could do
it. That's IF Elton John would even be
willing to come to Greenville, N.C. when
he could get twice the exposure
somewhere else Hobgood continued.
Discussing some of the changes that
will be made next year Hobgood said that
more attention will be given to programs
that the students have been interested in.
"Three areas that are expected to
receive more funds are the Theatre Arts,

display in the new Union next year.
When asked to discuss some of the
headaches he expected as Student Union
president, Hobgood was quick to mention
entertainment.
"Entertainment is probably our biggest
problem. We hope to partially solve the
problem next year by taking money away
from some committees and giving it to
the entertainment committee. But really
Bicycles have laws too
Due to the nation's energy crisis, it is
our belief that a great deal more bicycles
will be purchased in 1974. For this
reason, we are providing laws established
by the General Statutes of the State of
North Carolina, Chapter 20-129, governing
the use of bicycles:
1. It shall be unlawful for any person to
operate or ride any bicycle upon any of
the streets or public ways of the City
without obtaining an annual license from
the Greenville Police Department. Bicycle
licenses cost only 50 cents.
2. Prohibited on Sidewalks or Walkways:
It shall be unlawful for any person to
operate any bicycle upon any sidewalks or
pedestrian walkways in the City of
Greenville.
3. Observance of Traffic Signals: All
persons operating bicycles shall observe
all traffic signals as required in the Motor
Vehicle Laws.
4. Light and Reflector Required for
Operation After Dark: It shall be unlawful
for any person to operate any bicycle
upon the public streets and ways of the
City after dark unless the bicycle shall
carry a light attached to the front and a
red reflector attached to the rear so that it
may be clearly visible both from the front
and rear thereof.

Black Mountain
Forty years ago Black Mountain
College began in the hills of western
North Carolina. With it began one of the
most interesting chapters in the history of
higher education. Imagine a college
community of fewer than 100 students
and professors which lasted for less than
a quarter century but among whose
numbers were included a veritable who's
who of the avant garde.
Beginning now and continuing
through March, St. Andrews College (in
Laurinburg, North Carolina) will celebrate
a Black Mountain College Festival. The
following persons associated with Black
Mountain College will be with us: R.
Buchminister Fuller (February 6), Martin
Duberman, author of Black Mountain:
Experiment in Community (February 15),
.onathan Williams, poet and critic (March
1), Leslie Fiedler, critic and novelist, and
John Cage, composer, and Merce
Cunningham, dancer and choreographer
(March 5), and Hugh Kenner, critic (March
15). In addition, we will exhibit paintings
by Robert Rauschenberg and Josef
Albers, perform Brecht's Edward II
(Highland Players, March 14-17), and host
performances by the Baroque Ensemble,
the Clarion Woodwind Quintet and the
Piedmont Chamber Orchestra.
Everyone is cordially invited to attend
any of the Festival. Come if you
can. Bring a sleeping bag and we'll find
you a shelter at least! Write us and we'll
send you a more detailed schedule.
Remove incompletes Law society
An "Incomplete" from a previous
quarter must be removed and reported to
the Registrar's Office not later than two
weeks prior to the end of the current
quarter. The deadline for reporting and
removing "Incompletes" for the Winter
Quarter is February 13.
Band clinic
Band students from 40 eastern North
Carolina schools will be on the ECU
campus to participate in the annual ECU
Band Clinic, Feb. 15-16.

Publications board $100,000, the trans-
portation system $60,000, or funding the
playhouse, athletics or scholarships
Ertis continued. "If the administration
doesn't want to bother with this type of
appropriation they give it to us (the SGA)
to handle. Right now we're too busy
spending money. Our main function
should be as a lobbying force for
students
A recent financial report by Ertis to the
SGA legislature explained that out of the
$240,000, $9,501 has been spent by the
SGA executive council of which $5,689 is
miscellaneous funds; $2,583 for photo-
grapher's expenses; $35,121 for the
Fountainhead; $61,480 for the Bucca-
neer; $23,723 for transit system; $21,273
for the playhouse; and $7,329 for WECU
radio station and other expenses listed
are $10,500 for the publications board,
$1,700 for the Real House, $2,048 for the
SGA loan fund, $2,425 for international
affairs and $750 for the inter-fratemity
council.
The SGA's part of the student funds is
spent for various appropriations and
expenses but its primary prupose is to
finance student interests.
Two other major activities that are
funded out of the $46 "other funds" listing
are the Student Union and the athletic
fund.
STUDENT UNION
Since the Student Union took over
the reins of the programming for the ECU
student body last year, it has been given
$4 of every student's quarterly activity fee
to supplement its budget.
To provide various types of recreation,
entertainment and educational series, the
Union has a school year 1973-74 budget of
$112,565.
Of this money $101,500 comes from
the student activity fees, $600 from
interest on savings and $200 from
miscellaneous sources. Anticipated reve-
nue from ticket sales and other profit
making series is $16,365. The budget has
a surplus of $6,100.
The Union is broken into eight student
committees which decide on entertain-
ment and other policies. Each committee
has a faculty and administrative
advisor. The breakdown on budgets is as
follows:
Artists Series - $33,535
Coffeehouse - $3,450
Films-$13,100
Recreation - $4,900
Lecture and travel films - $12,855
Special concerts - $11,850
Theater Arts-$13,200
The remaining and best-known
committee is the popular entertainment
committee. It is on a restricted
budget. The committee was given $50,000
to work with at its beginning some years
ago. The committee has to book acts
which generate enough ticket sales to
keep this amount of money at the end of
the year. If the committee loses money,
then it has to be reimbursed that amount
from the general fund. They are budgeted
no money, however, and their budget
calls for them to make $2,950 this year.
Another service of the Union, The
Entertainer, is on a restricted budget. Ad-
vertising sales are planned to pay for the
costs of printing and operations.
If the committee produce a surplus of
income for a year, it goes into a capital
mmwmmnmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmm
expenditures fund which is used to
purchase and repair equipment.
The rest of the funds in the budget go
to Union Programs operations ($10,200)
and Program Board operations ($9,475).
A look at the Student Union budget
shows that all monies appropriated to a
committee are not spent on entertain-
ment. Some aids to the programming are
also necessary.
An example is the Special Concerts
committee. Of the $11,850 they are
budgeted, $10,250 goes to the
talent. Printing costs are $250, ushers are
paid $150, stage crew and technicians
$1,000, telephone $100, and miscellan-
eous, $100.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
The ECU Athletic department is
allocated $9 per student per quarter for its
budget which totals around $680,000.
Of this total, $250,000 comes from the
students' fees; $226,000 from football
receipts; $27,000 from basketball;
$140,000 from the Pirate Club; $22,500
from concessions; $13,500 from program
sales, and $1,00 from miscellaneous.
Football takes the lion share of the
budget, $369,000. Administration costs
are $84,000 and basketball gets
$89,000. The rest of the budget is as
follows:
Baseball -$18,000
Swimming - $12,000
Golf - $3,000
Tennis - $3,00
Band - $5,000
Track - $14,000
Wrestling-$11,000
Soccer - $35,000
Medical expenses - $33,500
Publicity - $25,000
Concession - $12,500
Women's Athletics - $13,000
Cheerleaders - $600
A run-down of an individual budget
shows that many items are included. For
example, football is allocated $32,000 for
travel; however, Athletic Director
Clarence Stasavich explained that $7,000
of this went for pre-season meals for the
players. Equipment costs were $14,980,
guarantees for other teams were $50,000,
officials were $4,475, scouting and
recruiting $25,000, grants-in-aid $185,000,
salaries $50,000 and $1,500 went for office
costs and $6,500 for miscellaneous items
such as filming.
Stasavich said the cost to the students
for the athletic program has gone down
since he came here in 1962. In that year
he said the budget was $152.00 and the
students provided $88,400 of that figure, a
much larger percentage of the budget
than this year.
Also the director said the Pirates Club
has as its goal the paying of all
grants-in-aid, which amount fo $247,000.
Their goal for next year is $200,000.
Stasavich said he does not decide on
the budget alone, but is helped by the
Athletic Council of which two students
are members. They send recommend-
ations to him, and Chancellor Leo W.
Jenkins makes the final decision.

WECU gets no SGA funds
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
The SGA legislature passed a bill that
will repeal $1,200 that was previously
appropriated to the SGA cabinet. Of this
$1200 an estimated $370 has already been
spent so the bill that the legislature
passed will collect the remaining $830 and
turn it over to the SGA general fund.
The bill which was introduced by
speaker of the legislature, Braxton Hall, is
an attempt to allow the legislature's
approval or disapproval of programs and
expenditures of the cabinet.
Attorney General Tom Clare informed
the legislature that upon passage of the
bill SGA president Bill Bodenhamer's
previous requisition of $600 to send
personal letters to each student at ECU
explaining accomplishments of the SGA
in the past year will be canceled.
The legislature defeated an appropri-
ation of $500 to WECU radio station. The
amount that WECU requested was to be
used for research concerning the
possibilities for WECU becoming a FM

Urban development studied
Department offers European study program
By KATHY KOONCE
Staff Writer
The ECU Department of Geography is
preparing to offer undergraduates,
graduates, and city planners the
opportunity to see and study the urban
development problems of Western
Europe. A summer study tour will be
conducted by Dr, Ralph Birchard June
17-July 12, 1974.
The tour will be taken through
England, the Netherlands. France and
Belguim. This tour is the first of its kind
to be offered. The purpose is to acquaint
s-udents with the problems of urban
evelopment in Western Europe and to
ntroduce them to model cities wh are
presently being developed. Such a y to
be visited is just outside of Paris.
The basic requirement for conv.etion
of the course which offers six hours
undei graduate or graduate credit is a
research paper relevant to materials
studied. There are no specific prerequi-
sites for this course (ASEU 201 A and B or
graduate level 470 A and B); however, a
student will gam a better understanding
of the lectures and tours if he has studied
urban geography.
Lectures will be presented along witn
guided tours which emphasize the
structure of a city. Students will tour all
areas of European cities-the industri-
alized areas as well as slum regions. In
Amsterdam, they will visit a polder where
the land has been drained. The entire area
must be planned and students will have
opportunity to interview the developer.
Travel throughout Europe will be by
bus. At the moment plans are to use
Icelandic airlines tor travel to and from
Europe and the original itinerary is being
revised so that the tour will begin in
Brussels (after transferring from the
Luxembourg airport) and end in
Paris. Accommadations will be typically
European middle class.
Group activities are being made to
include such sites as Windsor Castle and
Versailles. Dr. Birchard estimated that
students will spend five or six hours daily
studying urban development and there
will be time for individual pursuits.
The summer tour is designed to
accomadate 20 or more students. With 20
the price will be $1125.00. If 25 or more
enroll in the summer course the cost can
be dropped to $1064 according to Dr.
Birchard. The cost covers air fare,
European transportation, accommad-
ations and most meals. Dr. Birchard said
that the days when the evening meals will
be omitted will be those days which are
free for individual pursuits.
The study tour is open to any student
whatsoever. The approximately four week
session will be over in time for students
Students name groups they wish
to heat during Spring quarter
By BROWNIE WILSON
Staff Writer
What popular groups would East
Carolina students like to see in concert
during spring quarter in the outdoor
concert9 This was the question asked in a
recent survey conducted by the Popular
Entertainment Committee.
The students participating in the
survey se'ected a wide variety of
entertainment that they would like to
see. A total of 225 students answered
questions in the one-day poll.
Most of the students would like to see
the Doobie Brothers in concert, also
receiving a great deal of interest were
Todd Rundgren. Edgar Winter, Elton
John, and ZZ Topp
Each person was asked to list five
groups that they would like to see appear
in the spring. According to Tona Price,
chairman of the Popular Entertainment
Committee, the results of the survey were
used as a guideline by the people
representing the committee at the
National Entertainment Convention held
last week in Houston
"We are now working on the outdoor
concert and the survey was helpful in
determining what type of show the
students wanted said Price. "We will do
our best to work along these lines in
planning the entertainment
The committee will follow up on the
groups listed in the survey and attempt to
sign one to a contract for the outdoor
concert planned for one weekend after the
Purple-Gold football game.
"This is what we hope to do but
nothing is definite as of yet in the way of
a contract stated Price.
"There are a great many different types
of music enjoyed by the students at East
Carolina, it is a difficult task to work out a
concert that will please any majority of
people
"You can see this when the Earl
Scruggs concert of last year is compared
to his concert of this year she said, "last
year they had to turn people away and this
year we lost $2,200
"I think we have a concert that
everyone will enjoy this Tuesday night
with Commander Cody and the New
Riders of Purple Sage, we expect an
excellent show and hope the students will
support the concert said Price.
She also felt that a successful concert
now would make things much easier, in

Kopit's 'Indians a many faceted play
"Indians" America's Absurdity of
Conscience
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
If you find the East Carolina Playhouse
production of Arthur Kopit's "Indians"
absurd, then you should. If you feel that
you are being jostled on a string of
incoherent events usurped by powers
strangely insignificant to you, then that is
the intention. That is a part of "The
Theater of the Absurd And you will have
stumbled upon the absurdity of the
American conscience and, perhaps, of
your own.
"The purpose of the play was to create
a fresh feeling for the confusion of
history .to purposely create a sense of
disorientation in the audience Kopit said
in his novel-play, "Indians "I wasn't
principally concerned with the Indians or
the plight of the Indians today, but the
way in which our treatment of them was
rationalized and how this gave rise to the
myth of the West Paradoxically,
American films and literature have
completely tolded the true western
drama into symbolic heroism for the
cowboy and justifiable, mass destruction
for the Indian.
The ECU Playhouse created their own
sense of arrangement with the use of a
circular arena for stage action. The
pattern of presenting the play to limited
audiences makes viewing less difficult
and the chances of hearing every spoken
word in it are excellent. The audience
appeared to adapt well to the
head-swirling action which occurred on all
sides of the stage. There was a sense of
alertness and stillness to the tragic
episodes which were underlined by humor
and absurdity. The acting is superb and
the sound effects and spot-lighted
scenery exhibit the diligence of a hard
working cast and stage crew. Gregory
Smith led the cast as Buffalo Bill Cody
with Russell Chesson as Sitting Bull.
Author Kopit cleverly selected William
"Buffalo Bill" Cody, a famous,
well-distorted-western character of the
half mythical deeds to serve as America's
split-level ambassador of commercialism
for fhe Easterners and of good will for the
Indians. Cody was purposely maneuvered
into the latter position in which he never
existed. In the play, Bill Cody is used by
the public. He is the epitome of symbolic
western heroism. Ironically, he does not
want this portrayal of commercialism and
there is little which he can do about it.
"I don't see what Indians have to do
with Vietnam commented one bewilder-
ed viewer at the end of the play. Yes,
indeed, Arthur Kopit wrote "Indians" in
1966, "to expose the madness of our
involvement in Vietnam. I saw Vietnam as
an area of great political confusion, both
on the government and public level. What
were we doing there? What were we
fighting for? To write specifically about
Vietnam would have had no impact
Kopit calls the Indians America's first
Vietnam. He compares the broken
treaties with the "pacification programs in
Vietnam Thus, My Lai is related to
Wounded Knee. Both were blamed by
America on the horrors of war and on its
demoralizing effects.
The connection of "Indians" with
Vietnam may have been vague but the
absurdity of conscience prevail. It is this
gripping paranoia which renders American
hysterical to any opposition - whether it is
culturally or politically based. How do
you justify slavery? Say that Africans
were taught to read when illiteracy was a
stable part of their different culture. How
do you justify My Lai? Blame it on the
horrors of war and make a folk ballad - a
Bill Cody of Lt. Calley. Finally, how do
you justify years of broken treaties and
the brutal treatment of the Indians? Per-
haps John "Duke" Wayne, America's very
own contemporary "cowboy" put it
best. "A lot of people needed new land
and the Indians were selfishly t.ying to
keep it for themselves Or, say it the way
Clint Eastwood ("Duke's" probably
successor) said it after Marlon Brando's
refusal of the Oscar on behalf of the
American Indians, "A lot of cowboys

INDIANS:
THE GREAT AMERICAN PLAY THAT
EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR
By DON SQUIRES
"You took from us by force by what
you could have obtained by love. We
didn't need all that land and you didn't
either This phrase from Arthur Kopit's
play INDIANS conveys the basic idea
behind all mankind's feelings about war,
reality, and the difference between men.
When one starts to write a review, it is
difficult, especially for a novice as myself,
to explain the fear, joy, torment, and
laughter one feels during an absorbing
and highly emotional play as INDIANS.
This was my experience last Friday night,
February 8, at the opening of the East
Carolina Playhouse production of
INDIANS. This production of what has
been termed by Clifford A. Ridley the
"Great American Play that everyone has
been waiting for; one of the most
moving pieces of theatrical accomplish-
ments ever staged at East Carolina.
INDIANS' director, Don Biehn, expertly
pulled emotions together to the point of
changing the human prospective. He has
taken the play of an American genius, and
improved upon it.
Of the characters in the show, a
special mention goes to Russell Chesson
for his portrayal of Sitting Bull. His
interpretation of the famous chieftain was
not only alive and full of vitality but
remained strong and constant throughout
the show.
Buffalo Bill Cody, played by Greg
Smith, was strong and domineering
particularly during the sequence of the
Wild, West Show where he was the
performer even to the fancy footwork of
his horse. He seemed to have troubles
with drifting during the scenes where he
shares the stage, but always managed to
come back to command the situation.
Special mention also goes to Martin
Thompson, for his portrayal of Senator
Logan, and Francine Roulo, for her
portrayal of the French actress. These
?MflVMMMMV??Mii
two stood out because of their
exceptional abilities that were brought to
the surface during the performance. Mr.
Thompson was powerful, carrying his role
to the integral wisdom of a White Man
trying to force his views into the Red
Man's society. And Miss Roulo maintain-
ed her enthusiasm and sexual robustness
throughout, while also carrying the
phototype of the innocence of the female
during this era of American History.
Also, exceptional performances were
given by Vickie Batchelor (the First Lady)
who has often shown her ingenuity during
her four years at East Carolina, and Jamet
Delessandro (John Grass) for the
transitional characterization of a Red Man
trained in the White Man's world.
Other outstanding performances were
given by Robert Beard (Chief Joseph),
Emit Holloway (Hickock), McCall Thomp-
son (Interpreter), Jon Newsome (Ned
Butline), Douglas Burnett (Geronimo). and
three new faces to the East Carolina
Playhouse stage, Jeff Woodruff (Poncho),
William Gurganus (Grand Duke), and Tony
Medlin (Senator Dawes).
The play was preformed in the Studio
Theatre located in the East Wing of the
Drama and Speech building.
Steve Lavino's set was an ingenious
variation of the theatre in the round. The
set was based on a wild, west show
arena with an encircling stage above and
behind the audience with connecting
ramps between the two stages. This
highly flexible set adds a feeling of
intimacy between the audience and the
actors, almost pulling the spectators onto
the stage and into the action. The only
problem was the seating, which was
typical of the wild, west shows,
consisting of boxes, benches, floors, and
a few chairs, all of which were painted
with the impressions of buffaloes that
transferred to one's clothing. I would
personally like to thank Marshall McAden
for passing out programs that could be
used to hinder the impression of a buffalo
on an area where buffalo impressions are
not usually needed.
Another highly successful aspect of
the designing of INDIANS was Carol
Beule's costumes. From the intricate
Indian loincloths to the loud, brassy wild
west outfits, the costumes held and
defined the characters, adding to a more
total understanding of each. I would like

Another side
To Fountainhead:
This letter is simply meant to try to
give another side to a letter that was
printed in the Fountainhead. I am a
freshman in a freshman dorm. I trust that
everyone will know me, because I haven't
chosen to hide behind a false name. In
this particular letter, it was stated that
there was a problem in this dorm in the
form of a "fanatical dorm administrator
The fact is that the only problem comes
from friction created by a hand full of
students that feel they are not satisfied
with our administration. I feel that our
administration has probably done more
for us than any other on campus.
What I feel these people are trying to
do is cut our dorm administrator's
throat. They are trying to do it by
name-calling and trumped-up charges
against her. There is also a very big
personality conflict between these people

and our administrator. The entire matter
has gone too far, and it is really getting
out of hand
The letter was indeed very "one sided
and just by reading it you can see how
very childish it is. I had thought that once
a person got to college he or she would
mature a little, but I found (especially in
upper classmen) a very childish attitude
(especially in my dorm). By using
name-calling, like "worm" and "chief
slug" it simply demonstrates how childish
they are.
There was a petition which was drawn
up, by the people who wanted to get rid of
our counselor, not long ago. People went
door to door asking people to sign it. Not
even half the dorm signed it, and probably
those who did sign it didn't know what
they were signing.
There have been many childish things
done in our dorm to try to get on our
administrator's nerves. Things like writ-
ing nasty things on her note board,
slamming doors on her hall, stuffing her
mail box with paper and a few other
childish acts that didn't accomplish a
thing.
In closing I have a suggestion to
anyone that is unhappy in their dorm,
move out. You will probably find an
administrator that you can get along with,
and all-in-all you will probably be a lot
happier.

Basketball
To Fountainhead:
It has been said that the student
support of basketball games at Mingte is
rxjoT However, it is not the students who
must be put toblame but, instead, the
one responsible for scheduling the
games. ?
ECU played five home games with
teams outside the conference - unless one
was totally familiar with college
basketball, today, these five teams are
virtually unknowns. How then can people
say that it is the students' fault for not
attending these games.
We find it hard trying to get up for
names at home this year, not including
the same, consistent conference teams
but those like Fairleigh Dickenson, St.
Peter's, Buffalo St UNC-W and Old
Dominion. Some of these teams may
have individual players who excel in talent
but the entire team lacks local
recognition.
We were aware Old Dominion was a
small college power and that Fairleigh
Dickenson was an exceptional defensive
team, but the majority of ECU students do
not attend these games because they are
unfamiliar with any of these teams.
A university's athletics program plays
a vital role in the university's status. If
things are not changed in the overall
scheduling of athletics (footbaall and
basketball) particularly at home, then the
athletic role of ECU will decline instead of
grow Joining the ACC is our opinion of
establishing a solid athletic program
which will add to the university's overall
program.
By this, we could draw more students,
excelling academically as well as
athletically.
We don't expect conference champion-
ships the first year but we do know that
our teams (football, track, wrestling,
baseball, swimming and golf) could
compete and claim victory in these
sports If this change in athletics could
not be met, then Dr. Jenkins" idea of
proposing a new conference would be
acceptable. (This conference would in-
clude ECU Richmond, William & Mary,
South Carolina and West Virginia - see
Jack Morrow's column - Feb. 5, 1974,
Fountainhead.) Something must be done
about scheduling so that the students and
university can benefit. Sincerely,

To Fountainhead:
I am replying to a letter written by
Mike Edwards in which he again speaks
against the APO service fraternity's
project-the White Ball. First, I am
curious as to why he is so concerned with
cutting down this group. These guys are
hard working, interested, and honest
people who spend many hours each
month collecting funds for needy groups
and performing other services. For
example, during the United Fund month,
one of their guys rocked in a chair
downtown to help collect money while
other people spent the weekend at the
Attic or Buc.
Concerning the White Ball, Edwards
states that he wonders what the groups
feel like that didn't get to go to the party
which was held for the winners. I know
what our group felt like because I was one
of the top five that didn't get to go. We
were mature enough to realize that it was
a contest, the purpose of which was to
collect money for crippled children. It's
foolish to discuss the $300 spent for the
party as being dishonest. This party was
a great incentive for the groups to collect
more money. It was an incentive for us to
work harder, especially after getting in the
top five. The party was a money raising
procedure. People tend to do more if they
feel they can get something out of
it. That's human nature, unfortunately.
As a participant, I would like to say
that I sincerely back the APO's in their
White Ball efforts.
Sincerely,

To Fountainhead:
Two particular articles in the February
7,1974 issue of Fountainhead aroused my
interest and prompted me to write this
letter In Carolyn Davis' article on the
return of The Rebel (page 3), Ms. Davis
points out the tremendous fund cuts
which the magazine has suffered. In
Susan Quinn's article on the $45,000
surplus of SGA funds (page 5), Ms. Quinn
says, "Bodenhamer suggested that the
money be spent for the following
areas: $500 be spent to send the 1971-72
'All American' ECU yearbook to all N.C.
high schools for recruitment purposes
How can Mr. Bodenhamer suggest
spending money for sending outdated
ECU yearbooks to N.C. high schools and
ignore The Rebel? The yearbook pictures
may be worth a thousand words but
sometimes literature makes better food
for thought. I can understand that by
mailing yearbooks Mr. Bodenhamer wants
to radiate ECU'S influence while doing
something worthwhile for the high
schools, but I also think ECU needs a
good campus magazine where students
can publish their writings. And how can
anyone expect a GOOD magazine without
sufficient funds? Therefore, in all
earnestness, I believe Mr. Bodenhamer
should propose raising publication funds
for The Rebel $500 instead of using $500
to mail outdated ECU yearbooks.
I'd appreciate an explanation of Mr.
Bodenhamer's yearbook proposal and why
he apparently chooses to neglect The
Rebel.

East Carolina University Athletic Council
co Mr. Clifford Moore
Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs
Greenville, N.C. 27834
Dear Sirs:
As a former student at E.C.U I felt
that I had a responsibility and a right to
speak out against your actions, which led
to my departure from E.C.U. I, along with
some nine other incoming students from
last year and some eight new students
this year, was recruited to come to E.C.U.
(with no talk of scholarship) to play
lacrosse in conjunction with our
educational activities. All of us had
several years background ir. lacrosse and
had hopes of building a contending
program at East Carolina. We felt that we
were somewhat on our way at the end of
last season. We had gone 5-6 (ECU'S best
record ever), we had what appeared to be
our most successful recruiting year, and
we had a very young team. However, we
found out that at the end of last year our
program had been completely cut out
along with that of the Crew team.
During the summer, as many incoming
students as possible were informed of the
decision so they could make other plans.
Fortunately, some of them could do just
that and spare our program any more
unnecessary embarrassment. The remain-
ing members of our team attempted to
have our program reinstated. We began
by visiting with ranking lacrosse officials
in Baltimore, Md New York and
North Carolina. Needless to say, all who
heard were shocked at what had
transpired. We passed on all information
we could to Athletic Director Stasavich.
We submitted a summary of our argument
to the committee.on athletics in the
middle of October, only to be told that our
case would be heard in the near
future. Even though we met and re-met
with several officials and explored all
possible avenues open to us, we found
out notting. We even suggested and
investigated the possibility of establish-
ing a tax-deductible fund set up through
the school, only to be told that all monies
given for athletics must be collected
through the Pirate Club, and all those
monies were not allowed to be used for
operating expenses. I was under the
impression that America's colleges were
in need of money, not only for 'grants in
aid' to a certain few fortunate athletes.
At any rate, we turned our attention to
the Student Government, a group we
thought might be willing and able to help
us out, since they were our last hope. We
had arranged our own schedule, found a
volunteer faculty member to give you a
representative toam (Thanks, anyway,
Daivd McNaught) and worked out details
for a very low budget. Well, the SGA is
still undecided o that issue. It is,
however, ECU's last hope for this year.
We, therefore, had gone from
mid-October to the first of January with
no response from the committee or
anyone else for that matter. Then, Mr.
Moore, you shed some hope on the
situation, when you met with us on
January 7, 1974. Finally, we thought, we
can hope to be reinstated for next
season. After months of frustration, we
finally had some hope. We were told that
you and Bill Bodenhamer had gotten our
SGA bill tabled because he felt we could
be reinstated as varsity for this season,
financed by the Athletic Department.
Believe me, we were quite hopeful. After,
the meeting was held (Jan. 8) I called both
Bodenhamer and you, Mr. Moore, to find
out the news. Only we were told that
there were not enough people at the
meeting to take an official vote! Not
enough to vote at an 'official' meeting!
In the meantime, I had made up my
mind to leave the closest friends and
basically happiest situation I ever had. I
decided to leave E.C.U. purely over
frustration about lacrosse and the general
lack of open channels found throughout
the school. Needless to say, that was by
far the hardest decision that I have ever
had to make.
The last incident was just another
frustration for the lacrosse team. They
are out now, however, still struggling to
put together a decent team. Many, many
people would have called it quits by now,
but these guys have hung in there and I
respect them for that. I hope that they
never give in to the hierarchy that
obviously is against them for some reason
in the Athletic Department at E.C.U.
I believe that the Athletic Council at
E.C.U. has made a terrible mistake and I
implore you to reconsider your stand on
reinstatement. I hope that you can admit
that you may be wrong, and that you may
correct your error.
I also hope that I have not hindered the
chances of the lacrosse team, but I feel
that after such a long period of
frustration, something must be done.
Please consider what you have put the
members of the lacrosse team through,
and act with some haste. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Clarke Franke
Paper waste
To Fountainhe xl:
Who are the fools who insist on
wasting toilet paper by covering entire
lawns and houses with it? What a useless
waste of paper' Surely any college
student is acquainted with the fact that
toilet tissue is paper and that paper
comes from trees. Perhaps they don't
know there is a shortage of both these
days. Anyway, shortage or no, what
a stupidly ridiculous waste of time. I'm
sincerelv tired of idiots littering my
world Please stop
Myra Rachal
The Board
To Fountainhead:
After sitting on the sidelines during all
the Publications controversies, trying not
to ruffle anv feathers, I have reached my
limit. To coin a phrase, I'd like to make a
few things perfectly clear.
1. The $18,000 a year Rebel budget that
Phil Arrington refers to was for three
issues of the magazine. The present
budget is for one issue. Though I'm not a
math major, I see no cut in funds per
issue.
2. Bill Bodenhamer states that more
supervision is needed for campus
publications. Question: Which public-
ation, or publications, specifically and
why? My contact with the publicastions
offices and their products give me a rather
favorable view of them. If he or anyone
else issues a complaint with the Pub
Board, a member will investigate.
3. The infamous Pub Board bylaws
controversy is totally unnecessary. It
seems ridiculous that the body that
designated the bylaws would not accept
them, but they do need revision. Being
forced by a 21 day ultimatum is not the
best reason for revision, however. Some
have said that the bylaws were not passed
because of the clause that guarantees
publications $120,000. Whether or not
this is true, I can only speculate.
In case anyone wants to know, I'm a
member of the "inept" Pub Board, as I
hear we've been labelled, and I'd like to
invite everyone to our meetings (they're
open to the public) to decide for himself
how "inept" we are.

was so tight at the beginning of the year,
does the SGA have a surplus now?
Injustice
To whom it may concern:
When I first came to ECU, I had my
mind set on being an East Carolina
cheerleader, regardless of the work I
would have to put into it. I thought it was
something that you had to work for and
learn. All this year I have watched the
cheerleaders and cherised the thought of
being one because I was impressed by
them. But due to certain occurences I no
longer wish to be an ECU cheerleader, I
feel it's time injustice was noticed: in-
justice to me.
Earlier this year I went out for J.v.
cheerteading, only to learn that tryouts
were last spring for varsity squad, (no
males were needed for J.Vs). The male
co-chief told me that if a position became
vacant he would call me and let me try
out. The co-chiefs knew I wanted to go
out and when a position became open the
chief told me of the vacancy and said she
would come by my room and tell me when
practices were. The last incident was just
prior to Thanksgiving and I haven't seen
anything or the chief.
I waited for a long time to hear from
them but no word came. Today is
February 6, and still no word (Ce m'est
egal). One of my friends told me to join a
fraternity, maybe that would help, but I
told him that had nothing to do with it,
but it's funny that all of the male
cheerleaders today are from the same
fraternity. Many male cheerleaders this
year have either quit under their own will
or against it, and many positions have
opened since I met the chief, but all were
filled by the same fraternity brothers.
Anyone can do a "round-off" or
"skybird but true spirit is hard to find on
the ECU male part of the squad. I have
been a cheerleader before and I am a
member of the gymnastics club here, but I
guess that's not what it takes. It seems
that the sure way to be on the squad, after
someone quits, is having connections
with the right people, or should I say the
"wrong oeoDle
ihings have changed new and I have
better things to look forward to. At one
time I would have done anything to be a
cheerleader for this school but now I
never will unless certain people either
quit, get kicked off, or change their
attitudes. True spirit comes from deep
down inside, some people have it and
some don't I guess. Thanks anyway
"chief" I would have loved to have helped
out, but now I wouldn't cheer on that
squad if they paid people to do it. And if
you decide to come by after all, I'll be
more than welcome to discuss it with
you, I just felt that all this needed to be
said.
Larry Buchanon

P.S. I have no right to make suggestions
but don't you think it would be better if all
the males attended every game instead of
taking turns, three at one game, four at
the next etc
The veto
To Fountainheaa.
I feel that an explanation as to the
reasons behind my veto is appropriate.
This bill entitled Appropriation To The
East Carolina Lacrosse Team is
appropriate.
First let me say that since I have only
about two months left in office it would
be easy for me to just sign this bill and let
the future administrations live with the
consequences. I could not do this in
good faith and after viewing the facts I
feel you will agree.
Anyone who knows me realizes that I
am pro-sports and I am personally in favor
of a Lacrosse Team. But the facts remain
that the Student Government has never
been in the business of financing athletic
teams and if this bill was signed a
prescedent would be set for other
organizations to follow. The question
could also be raised as to the possibility
that the SGA had committed itself to
financial liability for personal injuries to
members of the team they financially
supported, as does the Athletic
Department with the teams they
financially support.
Another fact which must be viewed
concerns the requirements that an
organ'Tation must have an approved
const'tution for it to be recognized by the
SGA as an official organization. This re-
cognition is required in order to
appropriate money to an organization. I
have received from the Lacrosse Team a
constitution, but it has not been approved
by the Legislature as of this date.
I would like to say in closing, that
during the debates on the floor of the
Legislature concerning the passing of this
bill a question was asked to the students
requesting the funds on behalf of the
Lacrosse Team as to the possibility of the
team raising the money by some type of
soliciting. The reply was that the ECU
Athletic Department would not allow the
team to solicit. I would like to announce
that upon contacting the Athletic
Department, I was informed that since the
Lacrosse Team is not under the
sponsorship of that department, the
Athletic Department has no oontrol over
the team concerning funds or fund raising
projects. Bj) Bodenhamer

Lean: 'never a disaster he couldn't eat'
Pork chop psychology and keeping up
?! ?. ii? i? rra hrounht the fraternity closer tew
By KATHY KOONCE
Staff Writer
The typical ECU student rarely
manages to find the time to stay only a
day behind his or her schedule without
maintaining a regular outside activity.
But Warren Leary, a full time married
student majoring in psvchology, and the
father of a three year old daughter
evidently had time to spare. Unlike the
typical ECU student that wonders about
fixing meals or just skipping them
entirely, Leary has the responsiblity of
planning, buying and preparing two meals
daily for the brothers of the Sigma Phi
Epsilon fraternity.
Leary began cooking for the fraternity
at the beginning of winter quarter. He
prepares breakfast and dinner five days a
week. He leaves home around 6:30 a.m.
each day in order to cook about two
pounds of bacon every morning. The
"rush hour" usually comes between 8:30
and 9:00 just prior to the time every one
leaves for classes. The evening meal is
served about 5:30 p.m. when everyone is
back from classes and "lined up waiting
for their dinner
Leary said that the only real problem
he had was planning something that
everyone would like. His menus vary from
pork chops one night to steamed shrimp
another night. He noted that buying food
in bulk cuts down on cost and that he
could serve 200 meals a week for $130.00.
Since Leary's father owned a
restaurant, he practically grew up with the
business and has been working with food
since he was ten. During his experience
with Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity he has
never "had a disaster that they couldn't
eat However, just recently, he talked
about an incident which could have been
WARREN LEARY
'Indians'
a disaster; but ended well. He had meat
loaf in the oven cooking while he was
playing footsball with some of the
guys. The grease caught on fire. After
throwing salt on it, the fire diminished
and the meat loaf was not even
burned. When he cleaned the salt out of
the oven he noticed that the oven was
"really clean but he does not
recommend that method for oven
cleaning. "I've been ribbed quite a bit
about that he added.
Leary feels that this job keeps him in
touch with what is going on. "I just enjoy
being around a bunch of guys. I grew up
with nine cousins and all of them were
male Fraternities have also changed
since Leary was first on campus, he
feels. "I get a kick out of the different
personalities in the fraternity
The Brothers of the fraternity think
that Leary's meals are the best they have
had yet. Also, several of the Brothers
said that having meals at the house
brought the fraternity closer together. It's
more "homey
Leary was unsure of himself at
first. He talked about whether or not the
guys would like his cooking and how they
would react. Now he really enjoys his job
and is having a good time. "I've been out
in the cruel world once Before his
returning to college Leary worked in the
loan department of a bank. "It was a good
job, but I decided to come back to
school When he returned he resumed
his original major. Finding time to cook
two meals daily for twenty people can
become pushing. "It's a real hassle to
find time to study However, Leary
manages to do so and has a good time
doing it.
Since he has been working with the
fraternity he mentioned that if several
fraternities or sororities would like to go
together in a meal program the results of
one person planning the meals and
buying the food would be hinhly feasible.

I would like to urge each and every
student to see this play not only for its
entertainment value but because of the
study it holds of people who think to

for your fellow man should be. This play
drives itself into one's intermost soul and
makes one stop and think: "Can one

because WECU has an estimated $6,500
in capitol expenditures which could be
used for the research.
Kathy Drake introduced a bill which
called for the over-riding of Bodenhamer's
veto decision concering an appropriations
of $600 to the lacrosse team. Bodehmaer
vetoes the bill because the lacrosse team
does not have an approved constitution
and there is a question of whether the
SGA would be committed to finance
liability of personal injuries.
The legislature was unable to attain the

Films and Coffeehouse Committees. The
traveling theatre productions we have on
campus have been really pcpulat. The
students also want more and better
movies and when we get into the new CU,
the coffeehouse will have its own room
with permanent facilities. We are hoping
for a new sound system for the
coffeehouse and its possible that we can
have entertainment during the day. One
big thing we are discussing now is the
possibility of having students bring their
own beer or wine to the coffeehouse he
explained.
At present, current CU president
Gibert Kennedy andHobgood are planning
for the move into the new CU which is
expected during first summer session.
The Merry Widow is
coming to Greenville
to solicit money to pay their expenses.
Other bills that were passed are as
follows: approval of PSi Chi constitution,
the approval of the Bahai Association and
the appropriation of $2,022.85 to the
Buccaneer to cover the final payment due
on the 1973 yearbook.
Legislator Harry Stubbs announced
that the ECU delegation of the North
Carolina Student Legislature (NCSL) has
been selected. NCSL will meet March

two bills at the session.
It was announced that there is a

Hobgood closed by stressing that the
outlook for the first year in the new CU is
promising due to the efforts of the ECU
administration.
"We're really looking dorward to a
successful year in the new CU thanks to
the efforts of the administrators. Dean
Alexander and the other administrators
have taken such pride in the CU and
placed so much importance on it that we
are almost guaranteed of having a good
year ahead of us
"The Merry Widow" is coming to
Greenville, presented by the National
Opera Company and the ECU School of
Music. The performance will take place
on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 8:15 p.m. in
the A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall on the ECU
campus. No admission will be charged.
The opera is the story of Madame
Tanya Novasna, the merry widow, who
inherits over 20 million dollars, thereby
gaining the power to make or break the
small country of Morovia.
Following a period of mourning, she
emerges into a social life - receiving
declarations of love and proposals of
marriage from all eligible men.
The leaders of her country are
determined she should marry one of her
countrymen. The perfect choice for the
match has been selected - Prince Danilo,
a charming womanizer who drinks too
much, sleeps to little, and spends no time
ruling his country. But it seems that
Madame Tanya was once just a plain milk
maid whose passionate love for the
charming prince was cooled by Danilo's
uncle.
And, now it's years later. The milk
maid is an heiress and the prince must be
persuaded to woo and win his once
scorned love - but hell hath no fury like a
woman scorned.
The National Opera Company was
founded in 1948 by A. J. Fletcher, Raleigh
attorney and businessman. The aspir-
ations of the founder were simple: to
create audiences for opera by presenting
it in the language of the audience and to
give experience and employment to young
singing artists. Fletcher was honored by
ECU in 1971 for his patronage of the arts
when the music building was named the
A.J. Fletcher Music Center.
The company presents annual tours
covering most of the United States.
These professional troupes have perform-
ed nearly 2,000 times bringing opera to
smaller towns and communities that have
never witnessed live operatic perfor-
mances. On May 1, 1969, the troupe
played to the one-millionth student in
attendance at matinees for the North
Carolina public schools.
When touring the Company is
accompanied on piano by Don Wilder,
music director. But for its performance at
ECU, Wilder will conduct an orchestra
made up of students and faculty of the
ECU School of Music. This production
makes the second collarboration between
East Carolina and the National Opera
Company. The first such endeavor took
place last February with Mozart's "Cosi
fan tutte"

To-Morrow's Sports

Sports Editor
SWIMMING
Once again the Atlantic Seaboard Interscholastic Swimming and Diving
Championships was a huge success.
On Saturday in Minges Natatorium, over 200 of the finest high school swimmers
and divers on the east coast congregated for one of the best meets of its kind.
Calvert Hall High School of Maryland continued their domination of the competition
as they won the championship trophy for the sixth straight year.
Not only was the meet a success from a competition standpoint, but the high
school athletes had a chance to see East Carolina's beautiful swimming facility, and
they also had a chance to talk with Pirate varsity swimmers and head coach Ray
Scharf. Many swimmers and divers expressed a great deal of interest in attending ECU
as student athletes. .
The meet was unique in the fact that it was conducted entirely by the Pirate
swimming team. At times these meet officials worked faster than the boys in the
water. Efficiency was certainly the word that should be used in describing the conduct
of thfi m?6t
I had the opportunity to talk with many of the visiting coaches and they had only
words of praise for the meet.
Congratulations to coach Scharf and his team for a job well done.
The Pirate swimmers, presently 4-4 in dual meet competition, will travel to
Washington, D.C.on Saturday to battle Catholic University.
The "natatorium" (using the term loosley) at Catholic has often been the subject of
discussion on more than one occasion. The "oversized bird bath" is. only 20 yards long
and it has rounded corners, therefore the swimmers in the outside lanes have a much
better chance of doing well as the distance they swim is about three feet shorter than
the competitors on the inside lanes.
The pool's ceiling is approximately 15 feet high and the depth of the pool is a mere
eight feet. Pirate divers should be in for quite a surprise as they will find themselves
continually bouncing either off the ceiling or the pool's bottom.
Every night when you kneel to say your prayers, please ask God to protect the Pirate
swimmers from the perils of Catholic's pool.
MISTAKEMISTAKE MISTAKE
In my column of last week, I erroneously made the statement that the East
Carolina swimming team was the only squad on campus that competed against four
Atlantic Coast Conference schools.
Our baseball team plays four ACC opponents and also many of the games played
are doubleheaders. May I also add that the baseball team is probably one of the most
successful teams from Greenville against ACC foes.
It was strange to walk into Minges Coliseum on Saturday afternoon and see
coach Williams' baseball squad paired off taking "a few to the mitt
The baseball team has started their pre-spring drills and instead of braving the cold
and wet that typifies Greenville, they played catch in the coliseum.
I was somewhat disappointed though that the Pirates didn't take batting practice.
BILLY THROUGH FOR SEASON
The Carolina Cougars learned this weekend that their leading scorer Billy
Cunningham (20.9 scoring average) will have to undergo further kidney surgerytoday.
Cunningham underwent surgery to correct kidney blockage in mid-DBcemtar
apparently all didn't go so well during the recovery period, thus neceseating.the
further surgery. He was expected back in a Cougar uniform on or near March 1, now he
will be lost for the season.
The surqery will be performed in Penn. Hospital in Philadelphia.
The Cougars have faltered into third place in the ABA's eastern division, trailing
New York's Nets and the Kentucky Colonels.
HEREFORD WINS AGAIN
Greenville's Ed Hereford successfully defended his Bethel Road Race title on
Saturday as he ran the 10-mile course three minutes faster than his time of last year.
Hereford won in a time of 53.39. Jerry Hilliard of Raleigh finished second while
Mike Conley of Greenville was third.
Buc Trackmen perform well

Though out manned and fatigued, the
ECU indoor track team gave a thrilling
performance before bowing in Columbus,

proud of the team. The Ohio State coach
said he couldn't even get his team into
cars to ride 13 hours, let alone all night
and day

With two events left, the score was

Grapplers dump Indians
By DAVE ENGLERT
Assistant Sports Editor
Last Friday evening in Minges
Coliseum the East Carolina wrestling
team scored an impressive 29-6 victory
over William and Mary.
The Indians entered the match as the
only team with a shot at upending the
Pirates in the Southern Conference. Hav-
ing lost only to ACC wrestling legend
Maryland and national powerhouse
Clarion State, William and Mary brought
excellent credentials with them from
Williamsburg.
Despite the convincing win, one
senses that both coaches and wrestlers
will be satisfied with nothing less than
total domination of William and Mary in
the conference tournament, to be held
February 22-23 at Appalachian State.
"Some did so-so, some did average,
and some did great said coach John
Welborn in assessing the performance of
his team.
"Bill Hill wrestled tremendously-he
had an outstanding match said Welbom
in reference to the Pirate 177-pounder.
Hill, a captain and senior from Norfolk,
Va has been a Southern Conference
champ in each of his first three seasons
and has been selected the "Best Wrestler
in North Carolina" each of the past two
years.
Bruce Hall, who registered the only
pin of the night, typified the confidence of
the Pirate grapplers.
'I thought we would do this well,
although I didn't think I'd get a pin Hall
said. "We had guys lose who really
shouldn't have, but I think that almost
assures a conference title for them
So this meet will spur the Pirates into
the conference tournament with added
enthusiasm, yet on the other hand
William and Mary will be on the warpath
and looking for revenge.
"We've got to realize that we'll have to
work just as hard and make some
improvements said Welbom. "They'll be
coming back strong. I don't think they
wrestled as well as they are capable of
Turning to the night's action, junior
Jim Blair dazzled and battered the Indian's
Mark Healy in the 118-pound bout. He
scored a 15-5 superior decision.
In the 126-pound weight class, ECU'S
Paul Ketchum edged Jim Hicks in a
heartstopping 5-4 verdict and gave the
Pirates a 7-0 team lead over William and
Mary.
Mark Bel knap decisioned Pirate Milt
Sherman 4-3 in the 134 pount
bout. Bel knap had a record of 30-1 going
into the match, with the loss coming at
the hands of Sherman in a tournament
earlier this season.
Tom Marriott, sophomore from
Herkimer, N.Y dominated John Trud-
geon, defeating the Indian foe 12-5.
In the 150-pound bout, Pirate
freshman Steve Satterthwaite came
through with a stellar performance in
nipping Tom Monday, 6-5. This was the
fiercest and most physically demanding
match of the evening as both
Satterthwaite and Monday knew this was
an important bout. The victory upped the
East Carolina team lead to 13-3. A loss
here would have made things a cozy 10-7.
158-pounder Bruce Hall came through
with his pin of William and Mary's Bob
Friedhoff in the third period. Time of the
fall was 5:55.
Ron Whitcomb, sophomore from East
Rochester, N.Y gave a very steady
performance in defeating the Indian's Bob
Stark, 8-4, in the 167-pound division.
Bill Hill did everything but pin Mike
Furiness of William and Mary at 177. He
scored a 14-0 superior decision and came
within inches of pinning Furiness in each
of the three periods.
In the 190-pound bout Rick Dixon
defeated ECU'S Mike Radford 11-8 with a
flurry of points in the final period.
In the heavyweight event, the Pirate's
Willie Bryant again had everyone holding
their breath right down to the last
second. He entered the final period down
3-2, escaped to a neutral position making
it 3-3, and won 4-3 on the basis of
accumulating at least one minute more
riding time than Indian foe Greg
Freaney. This win by the junior college
transfer from Glassboro, N.J.gave ECU a
final margin of 29-6 over the Indians.
The loss dropped William and Mary to
10-3, with the victory raising the Pirate
dual meet mark to 4-0. ECU'S next match'
is at home on Thursday, February 14,
against the Pembroke State Braves.

Buc eagers bomb William andMary
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
The name of the game is rebounding
and ECU'S basketball team refined it to an
art in burying last week's opponents by 58
points.
Wed. night the Pirates defeated
Buffalo State, 89-61, and Sat. bombed
SouthernConference foe William and Mary,
93-63.
The Pirates are now 11-9 for the
season and 6-4 in the conference.
Buffalo State, not exactly a
powerhouse with a 4-15 record, was
consistently outrebounded and outman-
ned as Larry Hunt pulled down 12
rebounds, Nicky White 10 and Greg
Ashorn 7.
The Bucs jumped out into a 20-8 lead
with the initial basket by Roger Atkinson
followed by a flurry of points from Reggie
Lee and White.
White scored the only points for the
Pirates for the next five minutes on a pair
of free throws but Buffalo was so
shell shocked they couldn't take advantage
of it. The Pirates led at halftime, 38-28.
Lee openned the scoring in the second
half with a corner shot and Donnie
Owens, who had 10 assists, followed with
a long bomb.
PIRATE HEAD COACH TOM QUINN inspired his team to two big wins last week over
Buffalo State and William and Mary.
Women cagers have successful trip
By CONNIE HUGHES
Staff Writer
The ECU women's basketball team had
wins over Appalachian High Point and
dropped one to Western Carolina in their
week end trip to the North Carolina
mountains.
Thursday night the Lady Pirates
enjoyed a victory over the women from
High Point, winning 67-53.
They controlled the initial tip-off but
ran into some difficulty in the first quarter
of play. Shots did not come easily for
either team and the quarter ended with
ECU down by three, 14-11.
In the second quarter the ECU women
added 18 points to the purple side of the
scoreboard. Poor shooting by High Point
and a pressing ECU defense found the
Lady Pirates on top at the half, 29-24.
Third quarter action was sluggish with
ooth teams trading basket for basket.
Both teams came to life in the final
period of play. ECUscored 23 points in a
fast fourth quarter effort. High Point
reponded to the challenge but their
response came too late. ECU claimed its
first victory of the week end, 67-53.
Freshman sensation Lu Ann Swaim
copped scoring and rebounding honors in
the contest. She contributed 23 points
and 15 rebounds to the Pirate
cause. Co-captain Sheilah Cotton backed
her up with 18 points.
The women had a fair night from the
floor claiming 41 per cent of their field
goal attempts. They made 75 per cent of
their free throws.
Coach Catherine Bolton had this to
say of the play at High Point: "I was
satisfied with the team's performance but
they were really thinking ahead to the big
game against Western Carolina. Lu Ann
Swaim had a nice game here
Thursday afternoon the Lady Pirates
took the court against a talented team
from Western Carolina. Numerous fouls
called on both teams made a good
contest impossible and ECU bowed to
Western 73-65.
Neither team could really play ball as
the defensive units could not press the
play. At half time Western Carolina
controlled a two point lead, 33-31.
Play during the final quarter saw
Western out score the Lady Pirates by
eight points. As the horn sounded it was
Western over ECU, 73-65.
The scoring for ECU was lopsided with
Cotten tossing in a hot 39 points. Swaim,
who sat out most of the action due to foul
trouble, contributed nine points. She was
high rebounder with eight.
The ECU women made 50 per cent of
their field goal attempts. They were 68
per cent from the foul line where they
spend a good deal of their time.
"There were 22 fouls called on Western
and 18 on us. Our tall player, Lu Ann'
Swaim,and their tall girl sat on the bench
most of the game said Bolton.
"Western made 45 per cent of their
points from outside which is phenomenal.
This forced us to go to a man-to-man
defense which we don't like to do
commented the mentor of the Lady
Pirates.
Coach Bolton also added, "We're
looking for a chance to play them again
(state tournament) when both teams can
play a bit more loosely. The fouling really
hindered play
Saturday the Lady Pirates topped the
Mountaineers of ASU, 54-49, in a quick
running and shooting game. Though ASU
controlled the opening tip-off, ECU had
them by three points at the close of the
quarter, 17-14.
ECU went to the locker room at half
time with a five point lead, 26-21. The
mountain ladies had a good third quarter
and battled their way within one
point. The third period ended with ECU in
the lead, 34-33.
A fast breaking, high scoring fourth
quarter by the ECU women gave them
their second victory of the week
end. Cotton was high scorer of the game
with 20 points. Co-captain Susan
Manning had 11 points while Frances
Swenholt added eight. Manning and
Swaim were tops in rebounding claiming
eight and seven respectively.
Bolton said of the week end in the
mountains, "We have played better
basketball than we played this week
end. I don't think there's a team in the
state better that we are .It's a matter of
whether we'll be better than them when
we meet them on the court
The ECU women will go against
Chowan at 2 p.m. on Feb. 16 at
Chowan. On Feb. 21-23 they will be at the
State Tournament in Greensboro at
UNG-G. The women are presently 6-4 on
the season.

shoving throughout the race.
Gerald Klas gave an exceptional effort
in a difficult middle distance double,
finishing second in the mile in 4:15.3 and
third in the 880 in 1:56.5.
Carson commented, "Ed ran an
outstanding race, beating his personal
best time by six seconds. The OSU coach
said he was really impressed by Ed's time
because they didn't think we had that
caliber of performer in the two mile
Willie Harvey won the long jump with
a leap of 22'8 and LarryMalone finished
second in both the long and triple jump?
with 22'4" and 457" efforts respectively.
Tom Watson threw a personal best of
50'9" in the 16 lbs. shot and Art Miller
finished third in the pole vault at 14'0
It should be noted that Miller
competed after having a severely upset
stomach on the trip from eating a
doughnut at one of the truck stops.
In the 70-yd. high hurdles Sam Phillips
and Charles Maxey took third and fourth
with 8.8 and 8.9 second times. Roy Quick
finished fourth in the high jump at 6'4
With 11:29 remaining Lee again
connected making the score 61-28 and the
lead was never less than twenty points
after that.
The reserves came in with eight
minutes left, and a notable shooting
exhibition was put on by Chuch Mohn
who hit six of nine jumpers for 12 points.
White led the Pirates with 16 points,
followed by Owens, Lee and Mohn with 12
each.
Again Saturday night the Pirates
controlled the boards, pulling down 64 to
William and Mary's 48. Three Bucs had in
excess of ten rebounds; White, Geter and
Larry Hunt.
The Pirates shot 51.9 percent from the
floor and their defense forced the Indians
into 22 turnovers.
White and Lee openned the scoring in
the game with two jumpers and with Lee's
shot with 12:57 in the half the Pirates had
a 15-8 lead.
The Indians rallied behind their leading
scorer Mike Arizin, who was held to 10
points in the game, who hit two long
jumpers which gave the Indians the lead
at 18-17.
But moments later Robert Geter
scored putting the Pirates into the lead for
good. Geter hit a short range jumper and
Buzzy Braman's steal gave the Pirates a
12 point lead at 38-26. The Bucs led at
halftime 40-28.
ECU openned the second half with a
flourish with baskets by Owens and Lee
and soon had a lead of 20 points at 50-30,
and thereafter the Pirates were never
headed.
Five players were in double figures for
the Bucs led by Lee with 17, Geter with
12, Owens with 11 and Hunt and Atkinson
with 10.
This week ECU takes to the road
twice, playing Appalachian in Boone,
N.C. on Monday night and Davidson in
Charlotte on Saturday.
