Edmisten favors free press
Watergate: an American tragedy
By DIANE TAYLOR
Co-News Editor
Rufus L. Edmisten, deputy chief
counsel to the Senate Select Committee
on Presidential Campaign activities
("Watergate Committee") and chief
counsel and staff director of Senator Sam
J Ervin's Subcommittee on Separation of
Powers was at ECU yesterday for an
informal press conference and talks.
During his chief counselship of the
Separation of Powers Subcommittee.
Edmisten, who is a native of Boone. N.C
has made numerous addresses regarding
such Subcommittee studies as impound-
ment of funds by the executive branch,
Presidential abuses of the pocket veto
power and the assertion of "executive
privilege
Surrounded by reporters representing
the local television stations and several

Edmisten went on to say that the job
of attorney general has gotten more
important. "It should be an office that
acts as a buffer between the people and
the state. I think it should be a people's
attorney office he said.
Edmisten, who has visited every one
of the 100 counties is N.C. while traveling
earlier with Senator Ervin, will cover most
of eastern N.C by this weekend.
Winding up the press conference,
Edmisten said that Vice President Gerald
Ford would "undoubtedly" run for
president in 1976.
PRESSGOVERNMENT
In a talk to journalism students,
and later, to an open session, Edmisten
explained various aspects of press-
government relationships and the revival
of decency in the government.
"Watergate has strengthened my belief
in the freedom of the press because it (the
press) has been so vehemently against it
he sai : The press was absolutely
responsible for breaking the Watergate
case, he added, "and never have so many
assaults been made against the
press. The investigation would never have
happened if not for two enterprising
reporters from the Washington Post who
ould not be stopped
Edmisten explained that he had
developed a close working relationship

Howell sees possible faculty loss
By JIM DODSON
Staff Writer
A recent article in the Raleigh News
and Observer reported that if current
enrollment trends continue at East
Carolina, the University may face losing
48 faculty positions for the 1974-75
academic year.
The article added that institutions
within the consolidated system are alloted
one faculty member per 15.4 full-time
students and that current enrollment level
suggests a surplus of about 30 faculty
positions.
STATISTICS
The statistics that are used to evaluate
studentteacher ratio are accumulated
by Institutional Research here at the
school and then submitted to the general
administration of the consolidated
University system for further evaluation.
The end result is a projection of the
enrollment trend for that particular
school. It is upon this projection that the
number of faculty needed for the
following academic year is based.
REASONS
John M. Howell. Provost at ECU,
suggested some reasons for the possible
loss of faculty positions.
"We are always over enrolled or under
enrolled. There is always a problem in
balancing our to
ratio Ev '
"In October and November we submit
a projection of our expected enrollment
level for the next academic year. Fortu-
nately there is a flexible percentage of 2
per cent, above or below, that is matched
with the current level ot full-time
students, that allows us to keep the
current number of faculty positions
available. If actual enrollment is greater
than 2 per cent of the projection, we are
allocated funds for more faculty
positions. If it is below 2 per cent, then
we are forced to make cuts in faculty that
will bring us into the 2 per cent range
Howell added.
9,031 STUDENTS
Last fall Institutional Research
projected an enrollment level of 9,498
full-time students. The current level
however is 9,031, some 467 students
below the projectionand substantially
below the allowed 2 per cent
leeway. Based on these figures, to bring
the level of projected faculty positions
down to the actual level needed would
mean a cut of as high as 29.6 of the
number of faculty members. With the 2
per cent flexibility added it would reduce
the number of cuts needed to 18.
ENROLLMENT DROPS
Although it is true that the overall
ilment of full-time students has
Affairs which is made up of the
departments of arts and sciences. This
decline has been too great to balance off
the overall enrollment trend with the
increases in health affairs.

faculty members by 18, and a subsequent
decrease in Academic Affairs that would
mean cutting 48 current faculty
positions. With both situations consider-
ed, the total number of cuts to be made
would be approximately 30. Howell
discussed how these cuts may take
place:
"For a period of time we were
concerned that we might have to lose
some positions in the middle of this
current academic year, fortunately it
doesn't look like we will. We will honor
all contracts through the remainder of the
year. Some cuts will be made however,
and these will be determined by the
length of time that an instructor has been
on the faculty. Some of those positions
filled this past fall and the fall of 1972 will
be the primary ones involved. We try to
make cuts in those positions under which
the fewest students are concerned. Gen-
erally the decisions are left up to the
specific departments as to the cuts to be
made Howell added.
PROGRAMS
"We do send out a letter to those who
are affected by the reduction informing
them that if the enrollment level increases
and the position is once again available,
they will be offered the position. Right
now, however, we are involved in a
rigorous recruitment program to help
prevent additional cutsand we an very

VISTA benefit
The Pitt County VISTA Project is
sponsoring a concert Tuesday, February
19 at the Attic to raise money to help
meet ongoing expenses and to fill out the
budget for the upcoming months.
All VISTA projects are funded by
contributions from the communities in
which they are located. The Federal
Government and ACTION, VISTA's parent
agencies, pay only the volunteers' living
expenses; all other expenses incurred by
the 407 VISTA projects in operation have
to be raised by the local communities.
The Pitt County VISTA Project is
involved in serveral projects that required
bulk mailings and long distance telephone
calls. The necessity of doing this
depleted the budget. In order to continue
its efforts and increase its effectiveness,
Supervisor Charles Lance and Volunteers
Kenneth Foscue and Zane Katsikis are
working with Thomas "Skinner" Haines of
the Attic and local Rock and Roll Bands
to raise money.
The first of a series of Benefit concerts
is scheduled for Tuesday Night February
19 at 8:00 p.m. at the Attic. Admission is
50 cents. Two bands will perform. Kar-
ma, a group from Fayetteville is one, the
other band will be announced at a later
date.
Come on out to listen to some good
music and relax before final exams and at
the same time support a worthy cause.
Lacrosse club
On February 20, 1974, WECU Radio
will be conducting a fund raising drive for
the East Carolina Lacrosse Club.
Because they were under the
assumption that the club would be
receiving funds from the SGA, the
members of the Lacrosse team scheduled
games and purchased necessary equip-
ment for the upcoming year. On Feb. 11,
the SGA Legislature upheld the veto of
SGA President Bill Bodenhamer, there-
fore, denying the team of any form of
money, whatsoever. Anyone wishing to
assist WECU in helping the Lacrosse Club
should stop by Room 227 of Joyner
Library or call 758-6656 (WECU).
ECU jazz ensemble
The East Carolina Jazz Ensembles,
directed by George L. Broussard and
George Naff, and the University
Percussion Ensemble, directed by Harold
Jones will present a Winter Concert in
Wright Auditorium at 8:15 p.m Sunday
the 17th of February.
The program of the Jazz Ensemble
(twenty-two piece Big Band) will cover the
styles of Count Basie (Fun Time), Duke
Ellington (Starr Crossed Lovers), Thad
Jones-Mel Lewis (US), Stan Kenton
(Tonight), and an example of aleatroic,
free form Jazz composed by Chuck Hawes
and arranged by Mr. Broussard.

Harold Jones, will perform the music of
Alan Abel (Alegre Muchacho), Vic Firth
(Ercore in Jazz), Michael Colgrass (Three
Brothers), Bartok (Allegro Barbarro), and
Khatchaturan (Sabre Danse). The last two
selections were arranged especially for
the ECU Percussion Ensemble by music
school graduate Grey Barrier (now a
graduate student at Northwestern
University).

$8.50 per quarter
SGA gets big part of student fees
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
The following is the second part of
a two part series concerning student fees
- how much they are and where they go.
If you have been wondering how the
SGA has been able to appropriate an
estimated $100,000 to the publications
board, $1,000 to the music school or
$2,048 to the SGA loan fund, perhaps you
would be interested to know that the SGA
spends about $240,000 of student funds
each year.
The student government at ECU is one
of the few student governments in the
state that is responsible for handling a
quarter of a million dollars, according to
SGA president Bill Bodenhamer.
Each student pays $8.50 per quarter to
support the SGA. This amounts to a
budget of a little less than $80,000 per
quarter.
A recent financial report which SGA
treasurer Mike Ertis presented to the
legislature stated that the following areas
of student interest received appropriations
from the SGA:
(estimated figures)
1. $24,000 salaries for secretary, bus
drivers and photographers
2. $18,000 SGA Executive Council
expenses
3. $2,583 photographer expenses
4. $35,121 Fountainhead (revenues in-
cluded)
5. $41,480 Buccaneer ($20,000 paid for
last year's printing)
6. $23,723 transit system
7. $21,273 ECU Playhouse (revenues in-
cluded)
8. $7,329 WECU Radio
9. $2,048 SGA loan fund
10. $2,245 International Affairs
11. $1,500 publications board (miscel-
laneous and equipment)
12. $1,700 Real House
Out of this line item break-down of the
SGA's budgeted $240,000 there are three
appropriations that are allowed large
portions of the funds. These three
appropriations are to the executive
council, the publications board and the
transit system.
The SGA executive council's budget of
$18,000 includes expenses such as $2,090
for office equipment, $450 for postage,
$1,519 for office furniture, $1,100 for
lawyer's fee, and finally $4,389 for
miscellaneous.
Most of the miscellaneous fund has
been used this year to pay salaries of
student helpers, buy office equipment,
travel expenses and insurance policies for
the buses. The miscellaneous is spent by
the cabinet or the executive officers of the
SGA.
The publications received a giant share
of the budgeted $240,000 this year. Out
of its general budget, the publications
board had to pay for the publication of the
Rebel and other expenses. Other parts of
the publications board such as the
Fountainhead and the Buccaneer were
funded a total of about $100,000 by the
SGA.
The transit system also received a
large sum of the budget this
year. However the transit system receives
a specific fund of students' fees. As of
four years ago, the students have paid $2
per quarter to the SGA for campus
transportation. An estimated $60,000 is
paid to the SGA each year for the specific
purpose of transportation.
This year the SGA has spent $23,000
for two buses, has hired bus drivers for
the buses, and has planned a convenient
bus route for student riders. This year the
SGA has spent about $54,000 of the
funded $60,000 and has almost utilized 90
per cent of the transportation funds,
according to Bodenhamer.
Watergate and the press
Continued from page one.
with the Washington press corps during
Watergate. He said they have had a very
hard time trying to cover the government
affairs, especially where Nixon is
concerned.
"They seem to have had trouble with
this particular president all along he
told. "He's allowed people around him to
isolate him and he really doesn't know
what's going on in the country
Edmisten explained that Nixon had
surrounded himself with 'Haldeman's and
Erlichman's' who had engulfed him in a
personality cult and almost stole the
country. We would be a virtual police
state if it had not been for the vigilance of
the press
Edmisten, who admits he is "no great
admirer of President Nixon claims that
Nixon hides from the press, "I guess
because the truth hurts
WATERGATE
Moving into a discussion about the
Watergate investigation, Edmisten said,
"There's no doubt about it that this
Watergate thing is the most highly
charged investigation in America as far as
a Congressional investigation goes
He said that he viewed Watergate as
the culminationof a series of events that
have happenedover the years. Such things
as impounding of funds, executive
agreements, executive orders, national
lawlessness and many others, led to
public disbelief and distrust in the
government as well as a relaxing of
control.
"I think this the worst tragedy to
happen to the American people he said,
"their right to believe has been taken
away
"In the past months alone he went
on, "our Vice President has left office
under a cloud, the two top men in the
Department of Justice have left in protest
of the firing of Archibald Cox and now we
are in a state of incredible confusion and
disbelief regarding the famous Watergate
tapes and in many recent editions of the
nation's leading newspapers we have read
MWMM
pleas for the resignation or impeachment
of a President who only a year ago was
elected by one of the largest majorities in
history- We do not know where we go
from here. The future is uncertain and
frightening
GET THE FACTS OUT
Edmisten said that the Watergate
Committee had gone through the
business of getting the facts out to the
people. "Now my job is to write the
reports, and that's the hard part he
claimed. He explained that the report
would have been out sooner, but that
Senator Leon Jaworski had asked for a
delay, pending further actions by the
committee. "But he said, "they should
be out in a couple of months. If not, I
won't be there
When asked if there was still a lot
about Watergate that the public still
doesn't know, Edmisten said, "You're
damn right But he also admitted that
there were still some things the
committee didn't know.
"I feel there are some things that
should not be divulged about the
Watergate case he explained, "especial-
ly things that might be particularly
(personally) damaging to some persons
involved
Edmisten said the Watergate investi-
gation had received a lot of criticism and
blame. Aside from numerous bomb
threats, he said the committee had been
blamed for everything from droughts in
the west to hailstorms in Florida and even
the gas shortage.
BALANCE OF POWER
Edmisten said he would like to see
an actual balance of power in our
governmental system.
"Congress has in many ways ceased
to be an effective part of the government
he claims. Reasons for his belief stem
from facts such as the many absences in
both Houses and difficulty in even
reaching a quorum.
"I'd hate to see this country run by
Congress he exclaimed. "That would be
dreadful! Do you know that before the
Watergate Committee, Congress had
never even had a computer of its own?"
"I'd hate to see the country run by the
Judiciary he continued, "and I would
hate to see this country continue to be
run by the Executive Branch, as it has
been! All I ask for is a balance of
powers
He went on to say that the President
has claimed executive immunity, not only
in regard to the Watergate Committee's
actions, but has even attempted to assert
such immunity to a U.S. District Court,
which Edmisten claims will ultimately
prove a futile effort to insulate himself
from judicial scrutiny of allegedly illegal
activity.
"I don't think the President will appear
in any court. But I think if the House
Judiciary Committee tells him to appear,
he better, if he knows what's good for
him he added.
THE PAUL HILL CHORALE will perform tonight In Wright Auditorium at 8:00.

Dr. Mayo lectures
Role of physician is discussed
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
Assistant News Editor
Dr. Fitzhugh Mayo, chairman of the
Department of Family Practice at the
Medical College of Virginia, spoke at the
ECU med school lecture January, 31.
Dr. Mayo spoke on the role of family
physicians and the system the Medical
College of Virginia used when setting up
their school for family physicians.
After doing studies in Virginia, the
Medical College of Virginia reached the
conclusion that 112 doctors a year were
needed. They gathered data as to where
the need was greatest and found that
there were 60 counties in Virginia with no
internists or pediatricians. They found
that these doctors don't go into areas
where there are no big hospitals.
The studies showed that general
practioners were spread over wide areas in
the state, however, there were still four
counties with no general practioners. The
study also showed a number of these
doctors was diminishing as they grew
older and retired. There were no
replacements for them because there had
been no training of general practioners in
the past thirty years.
One of the biggest problems with the
training programs for doctors according
to Dr. Mayo is that doctors step out of the
training and meet people and not
diseases.
When setting up the program at the
Medical College of Virginia a consensus
of the total number of problems peoplego
to the doctor for was measured. This Mas
used to develop the family medical
curriculum for the school. The content
was divided into serious life threatening
problems, diagnostic problems and other
problems.
Records are kept by census track on
the number of patients, their sex and age
and their problems. Dr. Mayo explained
this was important because it allowed the
doctor to keep track of how many patients
he had with the same problem.
Funds were one of the most important
factors in the program. According to Dr.
Mayo 92 percent of the funds were
winding up in the residency program.
"Without a residency Program you are not
going anywhere. Studies have shown that
75 percent of people stay within 50 miles
of where they do their residency
The importance of a full time faculty
was also stressed by Dr. Mayo. These
people should have experience in primary
care and skills in organization and
teaching and should be quality human
beings according to Mayo.
The patient population at the family
practice center should be an adequate
number of all socio-economic groups.
The program should be organized like
private practices and should be
conveniently located. Dr. Mayo explained
that the pet peeve about most programs
is that they have slaves for patients. Us-
ually the patients at these training clinics
can not afford to pay a private
physician. This is why they go to these
clinics. Dr. Mayo explained that if people
of all socio-economic populations go to
the clinic they will be in a position to get
up and walk out if they don't receive
proper care. This will provide the future
doctor with some first hand experience of
what it is going to be like to practice
medicine.
The consulting faculty must be paid
well and see the people that the family
doctor would see every day. They also
must teach in out patient clinics.
The faculties needed are a family
practice center and a hospital.
Dr. Mayo said that this year was the
first crop of the program at the Medical
College of Virginia and the majority of the
graduates were going to the right places.
Dr. Mayo cautioned the people who
want family doctors that they were in for
some surprises. "These doctors don't
want to practice alone. They want a place
where they don't intend to go on duty for
365 days out of the year. They have
already been in practice and they know
how to handle people. They don't want to
be called to do unnecessary things in the
middle of the night

Pederson, a noted oceanographer and
photographer of the underwater world,
will present a program which depicts the
islands and the setting below the
semi-tropical seas.
The lives of Bahamians are centered
on the sea. Nassau grows wealthy from
visitors attracted there by sun and
surf. People in Abaco build boats, mend
nets, fish for conch. Natives on the docks
c'amor for the catch. Above the surface is
a friendly and gentle society Below, in
the blue waters is another world where a
different climate prevails, orderly, but
disorderly, too. Survival depends on
being quick as a trigger fish, tough as a
sea turtle, clever as a shark, elusive as an
eel. Harry Pederson has filmed the people
along the shores above and life in the
waters below. He brings to the lecture
platform a witty account of a veritable
wonderland, the colorful tropical islands
of the Banamas.
Harry Pederson found it easy to make
friends with the British-accented Baha-
mmm?vmm m u
mains. But how does one hobnod with
denizens of the deep? What is a big
grouper up to when he looks someone
squarely in the diving helmet? Is a Sting
ray apt to sting? Is a sea urchin just a
water ragmuffin? These and other
challenging questions concerning the sea
are answered by Pederson in the course of
his personal presentation of his brilliant
color film about the glittering Bahamas.
Pederson's film footage has been seen
and enjoyed in motion pictures such as
Rachel Carson's "The Sea Around Us" and
Walt Disney's "Hunters of the Deep Mr.
Pederson's published writings have been
not only on marine life but also on stereo
photography. He has provided illustra-
tions for "The World We Live In" and "The
Sea" by Time and Life Publications,
including a cover picture on the
latter. Some of his expedition work has
been done for the Smithsonian Institution
under a grant from the U.S. Office of
Naval Research. Mr. Pederson lectures in
person with his color films in order to
promote wider public knowledge of the
world beneath the sea

these "desires Here are the results of
the survey:
When asked the question: "What
activities would you like to see that are
not available now? the following werethe
top ten from the survey:
1. Riding stables
2. Bowling alley

10. Roller skating
As almost everyone knows, East
Carolina's main recreation area is
downtown. There is very little in the way
of recreational activities which can hold
the interest of most of the students. So,
it seems that in order to get the attention
of students, you must have the activity
that people want, and in order to find out
what people want, you take a survey.
What we have concluded was that an
off campus recreational facility would
alleviate the "want and give the student
a varied selection of recreational activities
which he wants. As can be seen from the
results of the survey; riding stables,
outdoor pool, bike trails, outdoor
concerts, golf, boat rental along with
sailing, and possibly roller skating are

this will only involve one of the ten

if located near the Tar River or a lake,

the facility would be large enough to rent

With the gas situation the way it is
most of the people who pack up for the
weekend aren't going to be able to afford
the weekly trip home. This is going to be
present a demand for recreation that this
university has never seen before. Possib-
ly with support from the students, an
investigation into the probability of this
could beqin.

Kate Lewis Gallery shows quilt exhibit ion
i
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
If you have always thought that quilts
were just made to snuggle under and
shrink back from the cold outside perhaps
you should take a walk through the Kate
Lewis Art Gallery.
William Gallick's and Anthony Ellis's
panoramic portrait of eastern United
States patchwork will be on exhibit from
February 5-28.
Gallick and Ellis are partners in a New
York antiques firm. Their exhibit includes
many pieced and appliqued quilts made
between 1820 and 1900 in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Indiana,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire.
Recognizing the value of quilting as a
uniquely American form of folk art,
collectors Gallick and Ellis began
purchasing quilts several years ago.
Ellis explained that quilting is an
American art that housewives have used
to express their own form of creativity.
He further explained that although
quilting is an American art, quilting forms
vary according to the area of the U.S.that
they were made, from the bright colors
and technical stitchwork of Pennsylvania
to the patchwork pastels of the South.
The exhibit includes all types of
designed quilts: the plain quilt which is
deep blues, blood reds and brilliant
yellows clearly make it one of the stars of
the exhibit.
Another particular favorite of the
exhibit is the blue satin and velvet
quilt. Ellis explained that usually only the
richer people used such expensive cloths
whereas the other quilts are usually made
made of a solid piece of material and the
design is made with stitchery; appliqued
quilts which have pieces of material sewn
to a backing to form the design and the
patchwork which is made up of small
pieces of material stitched together,
generally in geometric designs.
Particular favorites of the exhibit are
the brilliantly colored ones from the
Pennsylvania area, and the patch-piece
satin-velvet types. A giant star-like quilt
is hung from the second floor area. Its
position perhaps is symbolic because its
of cotton or homespun.
All of the quilts exhibited are priced in
the $100 and above range depending on
the materials used, the originality of
design, and the visual content of the
guilt.
The exhibit will run through the end of
this month. Anyone that is creatively
inclined with art-work or sewing should
enjoy the colorful designs and prints of
the patchwork.
i Power source
What you throw out as trash today
may return to you tomorrow as a new
power source. An experimental program
is underway where large cities are taking
their garbage and converting it into a
valuable low-sulphur fuel or burning It to
get steam power. Plants that run on
garbagepower have already been estab-
lished in cities Dayton and St.
Louis. Others are scheduled for Boston,
Baltimore and San Diego. The February
Science Digest reports that if these
experiments are successful, the 360
million tons of trash discarded annually
can be used to satisfy as much as ten
percent of America's energy needs.
Enrollment decline: recruitment
m m
Continued from page one.
Howell suggested a number of reasons
why enrollment has declined over the past
two years. One of the primary reasons
was the increase in the out-of-state
tuition, which has risen considerably.
Concerning this problem Howell said,
"Based on projections for this past fall,
we lost approximately 312 out-of-state
students. The primary reason of course is
the increase in tuition, but that's not the
only reason. Today there are less people
of college age, (population), and therefore
fewer and fewer young people going to
college-and the trend is continuing. A
few years ago it was felt in the elementary
and secondary schools. Now its finally
reach? the college level. Many institu-
tions have been forced to close down due
to dwindling enrollments, and almost all
are having to institute some sort of
recruitment program in one form or
another. Did you know that last year there
were approximately one half million
places available for students in our
colleges that were not filled?and as I
said, it's a growing trend
HELP MEASURES
A number of measures nave been
initiated at ECU to help curb this
downward trend in enrollment. This past
January the admissions office accepted
260 more applications than the previous
year. This faculty senate recently adopted
a policy that if a student makes an 'F in a
subject more than once, the second 'F is
not subtracted from his or her quality
points. Some technical school credit is
now being accepted in hopes of
increasing the number of transfer
students. A student that has been away
from school for more than three years
may now be re-admitted with no less than
a 'C' average on all previous work. Also
the "Experimental Admissions Program"
has been expanded to admit two to three
a ii i ? ? m n w
hundred more applicants upon the
recommendation of their guidance
counselors, who may not have met all of
the required standards for admission, but
who are interested in pursuing a college
education.
CLEMENS
Dr. Don Clemens, of the chemistry
department, is the chairman of the ECU
"admissions committee Recently he
discussed some of the programs that his
committee is involved in.
"As you already know, we're working
with the "Experimental Admissions
Program but we are also working with a
number of other projects including the
"Scholarship Weekend where we bring
high school scholarship students to the
campus for a weekend in the fall. They
have an opportunity to walk around the
campus and participate in some of the
activities to give them an idea what
college life here is like. Another program
initiated by Dr. J. William Byrd (physics)
is called the "High School Honors
Seminar" which invites students who have
shown an interest and ability in the
sciences to come to the University for a
day to participate in a seminar-type
program. These students are recommend-
ed by their science teachers and they
designate their preference of the sciences
offered (physics, chemistry, biology and
geology). This program has been highly
successful thus far. We held one on
December 6th and plan to hold another
one later this month
SEMINAR
Another program Dr. Clemons'
committee is involved with is that of
holding a "counselor's seminar" to which
high school counselors from around the
state are invited to come to study current
counselling problems as well as get a
better understanding of East Carolina. On
this point Dr. Clemons added, "There are
so many high school students that don't
even know what's going on at ECU. I hate
to say it but there are counselors that
don't even know what's going on here as
well. Dr. Horn (Director of Admissions) is
on the road from October to March
meeting with these people, but we need
to bring them here to let them see for
themselves
150 SPACES
The counselor seminar is scheduled to
be held on February 20th and 21st. There
will be 150 spaces available on the
first-come first-served basis. Dr. Clemons
also mentioned that the Panhellenic
Council at a recent meeting decided to get
involved with student recruitment, by
having members of its various
organization return home to their high
schools that they graduated from, with
pamphlets, brochures and general
information on East Carolina to better
inform prospective college students about
the school. This approach would
hopefully bring the high school students
into closer contact with the complexion of
college life. Clemons further added:
PICK-UP
"This is the kind of recruitment that
any student here could get involved
in. By just stopping by the admissions
office, picking up a few pamphlets on the
various programs and departments, and ?
taking them home with you-over the
Easter holiday perhaps, ECU students
could help to enlighten other young
people on what this school has to offer
The decline in enrollment is becoming
an ever increasing problem here at East
Carolina. The rise in tuition and the
decline in "college-age" population
certainly have had their effects on this
institution. Whether or not the current
programs initiated to interest a broader
scope of students will have a significant
affect upon this overall trend-remains to
be seen in next year's enrollment.

A took at two student art
shows and their creators
By PATSY HINTON
Staff Writer
"I like art. . .But I don't understand it.
Oh, I took an Art Appreciation Course
once for Humanities. Never really got into
it, though If the average ECU student
(non-art major) was asked his opinion of
art in general, this would be the typical
response. Yet, almost every week of the
school year, there are at least a couple of
art shows by dedicated, talented art
majors, striving to fulfill their require-
ments for a degree.
This week, art work by four such
senior students in the School of Art is on
display. Interior design students Donna
Kaye Gates and Cynthia Smith Parker
have an array of floor plans of modular
housing designs, an office suite, a motel
unit, a furniture showroom, a retail store,
and much, much more in the gallery of
the Baptist Student Union on Tenth
Street.
Ms. Parker explains modular housing
as a "result of developing interests in
rising costs of residential building She
goes on to say that "the prefabricated or
modular home offers a method of reduced
costs by allowing some of the labor to be
completed in an assembly setting, such
as a factory Now I think knowledge of
this sort of art is a lot more than merely
aesthetic; it can also be stored by a
prospective home buyer for later
reference.
Both Ms. Parker and Ms. Gates feature
a commercial project in which an
exclusive dress shop, Le Courtiere, was
designed for a converted row apartment in
Savannah, Georgia. Using parrot-green as
the primary color and displaying furniture
of Louis XIV and modem style, both
women show a developed skill in their
fantastic drawings.
The letterhead reading "The Crystal
Shop, Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh,
N.C announces a fictional china shop
created by Ms. Gates. In this project, she
chose a speciality store, named it,
designed a logo, letter head, and
packaging design, and drew up a floor
plan with material swatches. The result:
a hypothetical little store that one day
may step off the sketch board and take up
a real residence in a shopping mall.
Besides the interior design show in
the gallery of the Baptist Student Union,
paintings by Carolyn Ann Peer and
Deborah Jones Barbee are on display this
week in the gallery of third floor
Rawl. These works of oil, acrylic and
watercolor paintings are perhaps more
interesting to those interested in abstract
rather than applied art.
Ms. Peer, seeking a B.S. Art Degree,
even though she muses that "teaching
jobs are just not available described her
technique as mainly "a hard-edged
style Of her display of paintings she
has accomplished during the last two
years, she feels that her best work is her
large, L-shaped, hard-edged geometric
design. A multi-canvas painting (made by
bolting four canvasses together) repre-
sents an entire quarter's work.
Debbie Barbee, a bubbly, enthusiastic
person who describes herself as a
"fifth-year painting major says that
people are her favorite subject. I
questioned Ms. Barbee as to the
interpretation of her abstract painting of
Five Points in downtown Greenville,
which I thought was perhaps a spoof of a
little country-college town. She explained
that her watercolor, which she christened
"Greater Groovy Greenville" shows her
"real feelings about Greenville Ms.
Barbee said that she was not trying to be
facetious, but that this abstract, hazy,
out-of-whack distortion of downtown
Greenville is the way the town really looks
to her on Friday and Saturday
nights. "Abstract style she feels, "is
when you take a subject from nature and
distort it to suit what you're trying to say
about the subject According to this
definition, I think Ms. Barbee is simply
trying to say that weekends in downtown
Greenville can be "funky I like her style,
I like her painting, I like her interpretation,
and I like her.
And I think more of ECU'S non-art
majors could profit by some critical art
viewing. To repeat myself, art shows are
happening every week. Perhaps by
making the effort to stroll through Rawl
once in a while, we can attain some true
art appreciation which is not the kind
packaged, labeled and drilled in as a
course.
RECORDS
NOW HEAR THIS - Hanson
Manticore Records MC 66670
ByJ.K. LOFT1N
Staff Writer
It seems like just about anybody can
get a "super-group together today. Junior
Hanson, guitarist, songwriter (?), and
singer went to England to see what he
could do and while he was there he got up
with some of the finest musicians around
and managed to produce a pretty sorry
album, which is really a shame. Combin-
ing forces with Clive Chaman (formerly
with the Jeff Beck Group), Cat Stevens'
former pianist, Jean Roussel, and
virtuoso studio drummer, Conrad Isadore,
would normally produce a solid piece of
work, but in this case it simply turns to
mush. Even the help of Chris Wood and
Rebop of Traffic, Bob Tench, former
vocalist with the Jeff Beck Group, and
Keith Emerson's mini moog synthesizer
does little to improve the product,
improve the product.
The principle problem with this album
is that these fine musicians have some
very poor quality material to work with,
and this is Junior Hanson's fault because
he wrote all but one song. Another sad
point is that while Mr. Hanson maintains
a strong hold over what goes down in this
album, he does little to provide any
positive direction for himself or the
others. Only one song is worth
presenting to the public - "Love Knows
Everything It is a half-way decent song,
but there is one strange thing about it - it
is the only song on the album which does
not feature the above mentioned
musicians. Instead, it has Mr. Hanson
being backed-up by another bassist and
drummer, sans piano.
The high point of the whole album is
the performance of Clive Chaman on the
bass. Otherwise, the album seems to be
little more than a super-star jam session,
with everyone having no idea of what the
finished product will be. The most
out-standinq example of this is the last
song on the album, "Smokin' with Big
'M It is one of these songs which
should never have been presented to a
paying public. It is simply nothing more
than a jam session, and not a very good
one at that.
Don't waste your time or effort on this
album, because Hanson surely didn't.

Jim Croce:
almost in
limelight
By JOHN EVANS
Staff Writer
At the time of his death last October,
Jim Croce was just beginning to bloom as
a songwritersinger. Since his death, the
name Jim Croce has become a familiar
one with the American public.
It was while embarking on a series of
one-night stands that Croce met with his
death. The tour had primarily been meant
to publicize the singer's talents and the
new material from his upcoming
album. Croce had gained limited success
with the single cuts "Don't Mess Around
With Jim "Operator and his biggest hit
"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown He had also
released two albums and had just
completed a third, "I Got A Name Yet
Croce was still relatively unknown by
many. His musical style was solely his
own, which prevented his songs from
accomplishing the fame which has come
with his tragic death.
Croce used personal experiences as
the basis for his songs. Many of his
songs dealt with humorous subjects.
"Leroy Brown" and "Don't Mess With Jim"
shared the similar story plot involving a
rough-neck who meets his match. These
were the type of songs which the public
identified with Croce.
There was another side to Croce's
musical portfolio which remained hidden
from the public until his death. This side
dealt with the philosophical aspects of a
man's personal life. The autobiographical
nature of many of his songs make these
songs so much more important in light of
the singer's fate.
You were trying to make me a martyr
That's one thing I just could not do.
mmwmmmmmmm
'Cause baby, I can't hang no lover's cross
for you
Still I hope you can find another who can
take what I could not, He'll have to be
a super guy, or maybe a super god.
"Lover's Cross"
The week of Croce's death, the cut "I
Got A Name" was released. Originally cut
as the theme for the motion picture "The
Last American Hero the song took on a
whole new feeling with Croce's
death. The song was seen as having an
autobiographical aura to it. A great deal
of requests sprung up for some of Croce's
similar material. Soon after. "Time In A
Bottle" was released. Having been
included on an earlier album, "Don't Mess
Around With Jim the single had gone
unnoticed until his death. Within weeks,
a third single, also from an earlier album
(Life and Times) war, released. "It Doesn't
Have To Be That Way released as a
Christmas song, gave Croce three songs
on Bilboard's top 100 charts. Each of
these songs bear the same, philosophi-
cally fatalistic, style of Croce's mood
music.
Now the album, "I Got A Name" has
been released. Though his first two
albums were excellent offerings, "I Got A
Name" is far richer and diversified in its
selections.
Croce was one of those rare
indiv duals whose personal feelings were
carried over to his music. His tough, yet
tender storytelling was always there.
Only now are people noticing this trait.
When listening to Croce's new
collection one senses the fatalistic tone I
have mentioned. The tunes "Age
"Lover's Cross and "The Hard Way
Everytime" give an apparent, and ironic
stigma to his own life. These are classic
cuts and only a previous album cut
"Those Dreams" approaches them in
feeling and effectiveness.
Once we were lovers, but that was long
ago.
We lived together then, and now
we do not even say hello.
These are the type of songs Croce did
best, but he failed to record them for
single release. This lack of publicity
prevented Croce from blossoming as a
star until just before his death.
The simplicity of his work is what
made Croce's music so distinctive. He
used simple arrangements and rarely
employed clinches to his lyrics. He had a
narrow voice range, but used this to his
advantage, combining it with the blunt,
nasal sound of his voice to bring to his
music a degree of veracity that a more
polished style would have been unable to
accomodate. This honest, realistic ap-
proach was ever-present in his
music. The song "Age" expresses this
honesty.
Once I had a million, Now I've got a dime
The difference don't seem quite as bad
today
With a nickel, or a million I was searching
all the time,
For something I'd never left behind.
It will be said that Croce's new
popularity is due to the reaction to his
death. This has some truth in it. Had
Croce lived, however, his concert tour and
new album would have made his name
known better. With a name comes the
popularity Croce worked for and so

Black films exploit audiences
Commander Cody and
Airmen outshine 'Riders'
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
Minges housed a swinging, boogie-
woogie, foot stomping, truck driving,
concert Tuesday night as Commander
Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen rocked,
stomped, boogied, and generally enchant-
ed the crowd, which was better than what
the New Riders of the Purple Sage
attempted to do.
That Commander Cody sure plays a
cool piano, and when he played boogie
music the bleachers and the crowd were
swinging with the beat. The crowd put on
their blue jeans, or black jeans, or purple
jeans, or white jeans, and their boots, and
hats, and demin jackers and came down
to Minges dancing and clapping their
hands, and yahooing. It was absolutely
exciting but the excitement died as the
concert went on.
The Commander's men played a few
i
truck driving songs such as "Mama Hated
Diesels and they played a few favorites
such as: "Hot Rod Lincoln "Lost in the
O-Zone "Down to Seeds and Stems
Again Blues "Jail House Rock" and
"Diggy Liggy Li
The crowd stood up and stayed up
until shortly after the New Riders started
playing; then they started leaving and
they continued leaving during the restless
pauses between songs, the too mellow j
songs, and the intermission. The ones
that stayed were aroused at intervals of
the waxing and waning of some of the
woeful sounds of the music, by songs
such as: "Take a Letter Maria" and
"Down in the Boondocks
Perhaps faulty acoustics or not
enough dancing room were causing the
crowd to slowly filter out of the audience,
but, in any case the spirit of the concert
left with them.
and release frustrations
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
Remember the on-rush of black
oriented films? The lithe, leather-cladded
Shafts and the full length mink-coated
Superflies sent action-starved black
viewers skirmishing to the profiting box
offices. The low budgeted films netted
millions in profits for the Hollywood fat
cats, but also put to work and
enthusiastic and talented batch of stars.
Many blacks claimed a release of
pent-up frustrations through the viewing
of many such films which very often
ended by having the male hero, (alias
super stud), clobber to death his (white)
oppone its amid a chorus of foot-stomp-
ing, hand-clapping right ons by exuberant
moviegoers. The "brother" would then
skip off alive and well with his woman in
the end.
Many blacks also complained of the
films' exploitative motivations. All of the
old stereotypes returned and while many
black males hailed liberation through
these films, they did so at the black
woman's expense. Too often, highly
skilled black actresses performed limited
feats - under the sheets. Actress Vonetta
McGee, credited star for more than five
successful films, complained of her role
in "Shaft in Africa She highlighted it by
climbing up behind Shaft in a straw hut in
the middle of the jungle. Sheila Frazier
climaxed her role in "Superfly" by
splish-splashing in a rub-a-dub-tub love
scene. Gloria Hendry displayed her
hysterically funny talent for losing her
Afro wig in three of her consecutive films.
Suddenly, Cicely Tyson of "Sounder"
and Diana Ross of "Lady Sings the Blues"
were nominated for Academy Awards for
their sensitive roles in the highly
acclaimed films. "Sounder" depicted the
life of a black family during the
depression. Blacks recognized the need
and demanded the portrayal of more
qualitative films through some protests in
leading black publications. Soon, Pam
Grier entered the scene with "Coffy a
fighter of drugs m the black
community. Tamara Dobson, as "Cleopa-
tra Jones was billed as 6'2" of
dynamite. At a time when Kung-Fu was
making its cinematic debut, Cleopatra
Jones' knowledge of the martial art
enhanced the dramatic intrigue of the
film. Cleopatra as a government agent,
also fought dope fiends and retained her
dignity and her self-respect in the
process.
More recently, Gloria Hendry plays
the deadly and dynamic co-star of "Black
Belt Jones She neither loses her wig
nor flips her lid. In one scene, Hendry is
told by a male friend (played by Jim
Kelly), to stay home and do the dishes
when she attempts to accompany him on
a karate fighting spree. She whipped out
a pistol, blasted the plate to bits and
replied. "They're done Perhaps it was
overly simplified, but the point was
made. Despite assertions that black
oriented films are faddish, they still
trickle in somewhat diminishing numbers.
But while the films are lower in quantity,
they are much higher in quality.

If you are one of those persons who
have not yet listened to Croce's music
closely, go pick up one of his
albums. The best example of an artists'
talent and improvement is their most
recent recordings. "I Got A Name" is
most suitable for such a purpose. It also
happens to be Croce's best album. It is
only too bad that this man who worked so
hard for his success, can not be around to
enjoy it.

Finally, a response
After several weeks of haranguing, we finally have the satisfaction of seeing
students express interest in the SGA. Considering that the usual answer to JHow do
you feel about the SGA?" is "The SG-What? we're particularly interested in the letters
iaj'vp hfipn o?tt i no
We aren't concentrating solely on the letters condemning the present
administration, but on the student-SGA interchange and on suggestionsj made. This
may be the first year in which Fountainhead has seen so active a dialogue n print
between legislators and constituents, explaining and defending themselves to each
other Thisis the first time we've encountered Forum writers who are aware of the
details of SGA funding and are actually concerned as to where their funds go.
CLEARER STATEMENT
And, regarding suggestions, we have seen no clearer statement of the SGA s
problems iharTGibert Kennedy's letter ("SGA reform page nine). Founta.nhead
believes that the major problem with the SGA is not the execut.vecouncil orthe
persons in the organization, but the sheer mass of bureaucracy itself. The SGA forced
tcT deal with refrigerators, transportation and miscellaneous Ending, s.mplylhas no
time to be an effective student lobby. Those deeply involved in SGA busy work , as
Mr Kennedy phrases it, become more a corps of engineers than responsive listeners,
and the average student gets lost somewhere in the endless haggling over
subsidies. When there is so mud, to be done, when we receive letters about studen
problems with residence counselors and the law downtown, complaints about racial
incidents and pleas to retain valuable faculty members, gripes about teaching quality
and requests for quiet places in which to study, .when all of this is important enough
to inspire letters, the SGA should take note. The success of a student government is
measured, not by how many cabinet positions it establishes, or by how rnany machines
it acquires, but by its ability to respond to the students. It seems thatth.s yeas
executive council has been run on the theory that if the council wants something, the
students should.
Fountainhead has spent several years watching SGA legislators and officers
flunk out of school, year after year, exhausting themselves and their talents on an
organization that has become more and more unmanageable. We have watched people
bury themselves in refrigerators and such, convinced that what they were doing was
violently important while no one took notice, and the students drifted farthtr away
from the SGA.
We are tired of seeing talents wasted on a white elephant that serves as a giant
maintenance organization rather than a student government. Fountainhead hopes to
see the SGA returned to the students in the near future, students who can approach it
as a peer group rather than a corporation. And we are encouraged to see student
response as heavy as it now is. If nothing else, this year's SGA adm listration has
madestudents sosuspicious of SGA dealings that they may reclaim their own student
government again. We sincerely hope so.

To Fountainhead:
This letter is in response to the letter
appearing in the February 12th issue
concerning our basketball games.
First of all, what is wrong with the
present scheduling of our games? Any-
one following our basketball team would
realize that our athletic abilities are quite
similar to the abilities of the teams we
play. Our overall standing 11-9 (as quoted
from the Feb. 12th issue) should prove
this point. Would it make any difference
if we played big name schools? - About
the only difference might be a defeating
record - which would cause an even
greater decline in attendance. After we
were defeated for the first time on our
home court, by Furman (a big name
school?), the attendance at the ODU game
was embarrassing. Especially when a
school two hundred miles from here was
able to get up three bus loads of
supporters.
East Carolina has a basketball team
they can be proud of this year. A team
should be supported for what they are,
not who they play. It should be noted at

Warning
To Fountainhead:
I haven't got a typewriter, so please
forgive. I feel this to be an urgent
message. Both sides of thie story have
been heard by me, so I will try to be fair.
Last Friday night, a student was
downtown in an upstairs bar. He was
sitting on the bar counter, when the
barmaid, whom he knew, asked him to
please get off the bar. At first he did not
comply, so he was pushed off the
' bar. Being in a good mood, he hopped
back on the bar. For some reason known
only to him, a uniformed policeman saw
this and grabbed him off the bar and told
him to leave. Thinking he had not done
anything wrong, the student told the
policeman he was not going to leave. He
pulled away from the policeman
and the policeman began to pound the
student with his billy club. Naturally, the
student ran down the long flight of stairs
and took off to get away. The following
night, the student went back into the
upstairs bar. The same policeman
grabbed the student and told him he was
under arrest for trespassing. The
policemen said he was going to search
the student, so the student ran to get
away. The student ran into a VW moving
down the street. Up and running, he got
as far as the Embers favorite bar, where
some people grabbed the student after the
policeman had yelled to them to stop
him. Handcuffed, put in a jail cell in the
Greenville dungeon, charged with
trespassing (a misdemeanor) and resisting
arrest (a felony), his bond was $300.00.
Fortunately, good or Sis bailed him out.
What's the point? Well, to begin with
the student was not warned that he would
be trespassing if he came back to the
upstairs bar. Some other prints??? I
guess these should be called warnings.
First to the bar managers downtown. If
you're going to have or let policemen into
your places, you should give them some
guidelines as to how to handle situations
such as the one mentioned above. Some-
one needs to tell the police what to do as
some obviously did not learn much at the
police academy. Second, to downtown

SGA reform
To Fountainhead:
This recent controversy over the
appropriation to the Music Department
bothers me considerably as this points
out a basic problem with the S.G.A. That
is, that the S.G.A. has no business
subsidizing academic departments when
the administration cuts a particular
department's budget. That is an adminis-
trative decision and the S.G.A. has a
responsibility to lobby for those who feel
injured. It is wrong and foolish for the
S.G.A. to subsidize other departments,
including drama and, most recently, the
athletic department. I'm a history major,
so while the S.G.A. is in the business of
subsidizing departments, you ought to be
fair about it. Better yet, subsidize no
departments at all. Here are the reasons
why I feel this way:
(1) It ties up S.G.A. time which could
better be spent working on programs
beneficial to the whole student body.
(2) S.G.A. receives its money from all
students and is being spent in a
preferential way.
(3) When the administration cuts a budget
they should get the blame, but if the
S.G.A. subsidizes the budget cut, then
the S.G.A. cannot alter this subsidy in the
future without catching the blame at a
future date. The controversy over the
Music Department's appropriation is a
perfect example.
(4) It degrades the different departments
because they have to crawl to the S.G.A.
for funding when they could be
convincing the administration that their
program is essential to the University
community.
The S.G.A. should be a political
lobbying force on behalf of the students
here, but when the S.G.A is renting
refrigerators, running a bus line, handling
xerox machines and subsidizing the
Music Department, Drama Department,
Lacrosse (Athletic Department), and Real
House, the S.G.A. becomes a clumsy
administrative bureaucracy which handles
administrative leftovers. At present I feel
that the S.G.A. has been duped by the
administration because the administration
can cut any department they want,
knowing that the department will come
screaming to the S.G.A. for funds and will
receive satisfaction. Also, it ties up so
much S.G.A. time that the S.G.A. has no
time to develop itself into an effective
lobbying force.
Another minor complaint. I know one
counselor at the Real House who told me
that he dropped a hit of acid before going
on a suicide precention call. Really now,
does the S.G.A. have to spend my money
on that sort of operation?
Enough complaining, here are some
suggestions. Either gradually or at one
stroke cut off all departmental
subsidies. Also drop the refrigerators,
buses, and xerox machines. The student
body will never have any voice in anything
as long as its representative body is
spending all its time on this sort of
9m ? ? pvmmmw
administrative busy work. There has been
a certain amount of corruption in the
S.G.A from what I understand. When
the bureaucratic functions are cut out, it
will be more difficult for false positions,
inflated salaries, and political bribes to be
implemented. I am making no accus-
ations at the present administration or
any existing S.G.A. legislators.
In my opinion the goal of the S.G.A.
should not be to run the best bus service
in Greenville, but should be to have a
totally mobilizable student body that has
enough faith in S.G.A. decisions to act in
a unified manner upon call from the
S.G.A. legislature. If 8,000 students
called Dr. Jenkins' office expressing the
same opinion on a particular issue at the
same time, I guarantee that the
administration would listen. If every N.C.
resident student voted for students
running for the Greenville City Council,
things would start moving around
here. As is, the S.G.A. has no time to
effect such political action because it's
too busy fighting with the Fountainhead
and haggling over $600 appropriations to
the Lacrosse team.
If the S.G.A. would mobilize the
student bocy politically, it wouldn't have
to spent student money on administrative
leftovers. I'm not a music major, a
lacrosse player, and possess my own
refrigerator. I'd like my $12 per quarter
returned if you won't use it in a way that
benefits the whole student body. If
anyone else feels like I do, don't complain
to your roommate; tell your legislator,
and hold him or her accountable this
spring when election time rolls around; or
run for office yourself.
Respectfully submitted,
Gibert Kennedy
Thanks, KAs
To Fountainhead:
It is our purpose to express our
sincere gratitude to two KA's, who came
to the aid of four girls in distress last
Wednesday night. As we were driving to
the AOPi house, we unfortunately had a
collision with another car a block away
from the KA Party House. Shaken up by
the incident and not knowing what to do,
we were ably assisted by two "Southern
Gentlemen who informed us as to the
procedures we should follow. After
contacting the police, they stood with us
for a half an hour in the pouring rain.
We regret that we do not know the
names of the two KA's, but we wanted to
say thank you for what you did for us.
Sincerely,

SGA reply
To Fountainhead:
The article written in the February 5
issue of Fountainhead entitled "School of
Music 'disappointed' with SGA help"
failed to mention several facts on the
issue. As chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, I feel it necessary to present
my side of the story.
On December 10, as stated in the
article, the appropriations committee met
to consider tne music bill. Knowing that
this was an important bill that would need
much consideration I did ask the 91 music
students present to leave. However I did
not do so illegally. Rule 31 (c) of
Richardson's New Rules of Procedure of
the Student Legislature of East Carolina
University states:
The chairman or other presiding officer
shall have general direction of the
meeting place of the committee of
sub-committee and in case of any
disturbance or disorderly conduct therein,
or if the peace, good order, and proper
conduct of the Legislature business is
hindered by any individual or individuals,
the chairman or presiding offier shall have
power to exclude from the session any
individual or individuals so hindering the
Legislative business or if necessary, to
order the meeting place cleared of all
persons not members of the committee or
sub-committee.
Now I ask you, what kind of
committee meeting can be held with 91
people present? The sheer number of
individuals created enough distraction to
preclude normal business. Therefore in
my capacity as committee chairman and
as authorized by the rule stated above, I
cleared the committee room. However, I
did allow representatives of the music
department, Bob Sullivan and Dean
Pitt man, to remain present. I felt they
could adequately present their bill without
91 students filling the room.
After receiving negative feedback for
my actions on December 10, at the
January 14 meeting of the Appropriations
committee I allowed the committee to
vote whether the music students should
remain. The committee voted in favor of
them staying, so they stayed. The article
failed to mention this point.
In closing I would like to invite any
students who have questions regarding
the actions of the appropriations
committee to see me. I will be more than
happy to answer them and review the
policies and previous doings of the
committee. I can be contacted through
the Student Government office.

To Fountainhead:
I am not an SGA representative
however I have made a very positive
attempt to understand the developments
and purposes of the SGA. I feel
compelled to speak out on the latest
developments in the SGA primarily
because I feel many students feel the
same as I do. I wish to speak out on the
denial of adequate funds to the music
department and on the possible
impeachment of treasurer, Mike Ertis. I
feel both Ertis and Bodenhamer should be
criticized for their dealings which lead to
the impeachment question. First of all
everyone should realize that the money for
Bodenhamer's "glorious" letter was
legally appropriated. Ertis failed to sign
the requisition based on a sort of veto
power. This is absurd because only the
SGA president has veto power. The
attorney general ruled that Ertis was in fac
exercising a power that he did not have. I
also disagree with sending this letter of
Bodenhamer's great accomplishments to
the students mainly because of thie high
cost involved. However, fellow students
before we praise Ertis remember that he is
endowing himself with the veto power
that he does not have. I believe that if
both Ertis and Bodenhamer would use
their conflicting views to bring about
constructive programs for us, rather than
use them to test each others powers, the
SGA would be a better body.
Secondly, I criticize the SGA for not
giving more money to the Music
department. Everyone realizes the
superior quality of the music department.
However, let me point out a fact that the
music department should realize. The
members of the appropriations committee
were informed by the Treasurer's office
that only about 10,000 dollars remained in
the budget will still about a quarter and
one half left. Based on this information I
can understand the actions of the
appropriations committee. I now ask why
our SGA treasurer did not know about the
surplus reported by Bodenhamer
($45,000). I will continue to try to
understand the actions taken by our
SGA. However, the actions of Boden-
hamer and Ertis make me wonder what in
the hell is the purpose of the
SGA. Hopefully these actions will not
continue in the future.

Correction
To Fountainhead :
I should like to correct some
misinformation appearing in the February
7 issue of the Fountainhead.
In a letter signed by Robert M. Sullivan
concerning grants to the School of Music
he says: "The School of Music was the
only department in the University to
increase its enrollment last year
The School of Art has increased its
enrollment every year since 1957 except
the year in which the General College was
established. This included "last" year
when we wound up the total year seven
students more than in 1971-72. This
year's September enrollment was 39
students greater than September 1972.
In another letter signed by Art
Students, the statement is made: "This
field (Communication Arts) encompasses
a majority of students within the School
of Art Presently there are 204 majors' in
Communication Arts with a number of
minors and students taking elective
courses. There are, however, 652 full-time
undergraduate students in all areas in the
School. The 204 hardly constitutes a
"majority" even adding the minors and
elective course students.
The statement is also made: "The
departmental teaching staff will be
reduced in the school year 1974-75 as a
consequence of a lack of funds Teach-
ing staffs in many schools and
departments are being cut because of a
lack of student enrollments. While the
School of Art enrollment is up, the
University enrollment overall needs to be
cut to match the number of students
enrolled.
Wouldn't it be nice if people checked
their facts before making public
statements?

From the time you returned home. I
have had no opportunity to write
you. First, before being arrested in
January. 1972, I and also my friends, were
constantly searched out by the police
force and had to be hidden from place to
place. But I could not escape from their
net. On January 5, I was caught by
plainclothes police before the Medical
University Building. After three months
of "investigation" at Saigon Municipal
Police Station and one month at Police
General Headquarters where I was locked
in a dark cell, beaten up with truncheons
and lighted by three 500-watt bulbs, I was
handcuffed and at gun point, transferred
to Chi Hoa Prison. By now, after more
than 112 years in Saigon prisons, I have
something to show you and the American
people. To you, a dedicated American
friend to whom the Vietnamese people
must be grateful for your help, and to the
American people, a people with a tradition
of freedom and democracy which I always
deeply admired and those people now
directly involved in the political realities
of Vietnam.
It is, I think, the responsibility of
individuals to speak the truth and expose
lies. The truth that I encountered on every
side is relating to the situation of political
prisoners in South Vietnam, and their
welfare, especially to those who are part
of the Thieu opposition, which commits
the only crime of asking for peace and the
means of democracy that had been
promised them.
A Police State with torture-South
Vietnam has around 40,000 university
students, while the police force contains
around 200,000 members, from plain-
clothes police to heavy armed units and
more than a dozen main military and
civilian agencies. The repression machin-
ery operates at and spreads to every
district, every village with absolute power
of arrest, confinement and liquidation of
all citizens. As a South Vietnamese
Senator observed: "Anyone in Vietnam
with a gun can pick people up
In the cities, the police network,
notably the Special Branch of the Police,
the plainclothes police, and the Combat
Police are considered the most brutal
instruments of repression of political
opponents, and students, rounded up at
peace demonstrations and rallies: that is,
the fringes of anti-government activities.
By night these plainclothesmen with
American guns could swoop down houses
and arrest you and only God knows where
they dragged you.
Barbaric tortures are also applied to
the students. Two of the most painful
and lasting forms are: "submarine trip"
and "airplane trip The first is that the
student is plunged into a barrel filled with
water, his hands and feet have been'
bound. The police used rubber-covered
truncheons, beat against the sides of the
barrel with all their force. The water
conducts these blows to the internal
organs of the students' body. First it
makes the victim feel terrible pain in the
neck and abdomen, then he vomits blood
and falls unconscious. If you have ever
been tortured this way, you have to take
to your bed for three months and you will
never recover. The "airplane trip" is
hanging the victim by the arms behind his
back with a rope hung from the
ceiling. After five to ten minutes he
immediately loses consciousness. This
manner of torture is repeated several
times in a night, until you say what they
want you to.
There is more. The history of crimes
that these police have committed could be
described in thousands of pages-with all
manner of torture and physical abuse. A
friend of mine named LeCong Giau, from
science faculty, was beaten up at Saigon
Municipal Police Station, from early
August, to the end of October of last
year. He was so badly tortured that he
was paralyzed below the waist and his left
arm and was unable to wake up by
himself. In these three months he
endured beatings routinely during
"administrative time" as the po'ice
explained. It means eight hours per
day. Although I lacked proper instruments
THESE THREE DRAWINGS Included HI me article M By BUU CIH, a 25-year Ota
Vietnamese artist currently held prisoner by the Saigon regime. Arrested several times,
Buu Chi was last arrested in April of 1973 by police who insisted he join the armed
forces and, upon his refusal, charged the former law student with draft resistance.
I diagnosed his physical state and am
surprised that he remained alive after
being tortured in this way. The deaths are
not, I think, in dark interrogation rooms in
the police agencies. Recently, after the
Paris Agreement, Mr. Pham Van-Hi,
Chairman of trade union of bank
employees in Saigon, has been tortured to
death which was disguised as suicide by
Thieu's cannibals. We should not be
surprised if we learn that their policies are
briefly summed up in a popular saying
among them: "If you are innocent, they
beat you until you repent. If you don't
repent, they beat you until you die I
also know that Americans existed at these
agencies and that Saigon's police called
them "Thoi tri mein Hoa Ky" (American
collaborators).
Because Thieu, with American
backing, has not a just cause and thus no
popular loyalty, he must use the tools of
police and military foices to suppress
anti-government activities. The torturing
is a means to menace the people's spirit
and strengthen his dictatorship over the
cities in the south. The more he is in
power, the more the people struggle
against him
One of the most revealing violations of
the Agreement, on a political basis, of
Thieu, concerns the confinement and
treatment of political prisoners. Confine-
ment and treatment of political
prisoners. Confinement and treatment-

Vietnamese prisoner writes of torture,
Continued from page ten
least of political prisoners are still locked
in Saigon's various places from the Island
to the mainland, from central to obscure
nrovincial iails
In a letter smuggled to me last week
from Con-Son Island, one of my friends
has described today's "tiger cages" built
by the American company RMK-BRJ with
a fund of $400,000 in 1971, from the US
government after the disclosure by your
hands and two US congressmen of the
infamous "tiger cages" in 1970. A part of
the letter reads "after the discovery of the
tiger cages at camp 2 in 1970, and
because of the anger of public opinion at
home and abroad, the Saigon government
cannot maintain the old type of tiger
cages, but their pervasive, slowly
destroying policies toward country-loving
people still existed and continued. To
this end, they built a new camp number 7
and officially named "Discipline Camp"
but prisoners preferred to call it "the
disguised tiger cages"?
Late in March, the Field Military Court
was going directly to Con-Son prison and
sentenced by night more than 4,500
people who were held without trial for
years and turned them into regular
prisoners with crimes such as robbery and
draft-dodging in order to avoid releasing
Treasury pays
Nixon's lawyer
(CPSZNS)-The US Treasury is now
paying at least $232,000 a year in salaries
to the team of lawyers who are defending
President Nixon in the Watergate scandal.
According to the White House, Chief
Legal Advisor Leonard Garmet is being
paid $42,500; lawyer Fred Buzhardt is
receiving $38,000; an attorney who is on
loan from the Department of Housing and
Urban Development is being paid $36,000;
and another lawyer on loan from the
Department of Defense is also earning
$36,000.
Added to this staff is a group of four
attorneys from the Justice Department
who are being paid a total of $80,000 in
annual salaries to handle Watergate-
related matters.
The grand total comes to $232,000,
and this figure does not include the
money paid to three different consultants,
each of whom pulls down $150 a day.

It is hardly surprising that the physical
welfare of prisoners deteriorated since we
learned that the food ration is being cut
from 80 to 20 grams per day and other
necessities are neglected. In each meal,
there is one fish equal to a finger and a
string of vegetables.
The darkness of intentions-evident
proofs of inhumane treatment of political
prisoners by Thieu's regime have revealed
the responsibility of the US government.
Thieu, with the recalcitrance of a
militaristic puppet, has refused to relase
he publicly pretends they do not exist.
His claim challenges world opinion. In
Chi Hoa now, political prisoners have an
insignia attached to their shirt. For
example, my prisoner name and number
insignia is Huyuh Tan Man, no:227MTCT.
The MCTC stands for Mat Tra Chinh Tri
which means 'political front
For these reasons, I think the US
Government directly bears the responsi-
bility for the plight of political prisoners
still in Thieu's hands. For example, the
plight of more than half of the 75 people
who are still locked in Room 3, Camp 6B
political prisoners and, due to cynicism, of Con-Son prison. These people are

I am however, of the belief that the
American people will not keep silent
before the agony of these victims. After
all, they, and also the Vietnamese people,
will see the rays of sunshine and go on to
build peaceful future. Because we have
been, and are, struggling by blood and
years spent in the darkness of terror, of
prisons, for peace and independence.
With love and friendship.

European study tour
It is time to think about this
summer. Why not gain a new experience
and 9 credits in political science? For the
past six years, the ECU Political Science
Department has offered a study tour to
Western Europe which includes visits to
Bonn, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris,
London, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
Leaving on May 29, we will be meeting
with leading personalities in government,
politics, business and labor management.
This course should be attractive to
students in many disciplines. It provides
contacts as well as a sound professional
preparation.
To enable broad participation, this
course will be conducted on a shoestring
budget, 6 weeks in Europe for $825. For
further details and applications, contact
Dr. Hans H. Indorf, Political Science
Dept Room A-132 in the Brewster (Social
Science) Bldg or telephone 758-6030.
Infant education
Couples who desire better understand-
ing of the maternity cycle and care of
newborn infants are invited to enroll in a
special course to be offered Tuesday
evenings beginning March 12 by the ECU
Division of Continuing Education.
Instrustors Lona Ratcliffe and Janice
Leggett, faculty of the ECU School of
Nursing, will discuss and demonstrate the
knowledge and skills necessary for
prospective parents.
Subject matter will include the
maternity cycle, improved labor and
delivery, hospital routine and procedures,
home preparation and care of the newborn
child, and development of the infant
through the first year of life.
The course will meet Tuesdays from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the ECU Nursing
Building, room 209. It will consist of
either eight or nine sessions, depending
upon how fast the class progresses.
The course is designed for both
husband and wife.
As enrollment will be limited, advance
registration is strongly recommended.
Further information and application forms
are available from the ECU Division of
Continuing Education, Box 2727,
Greenville, telephone 758-6148.
Invention
An X-ray traveling wave amplifier
invented by ECU physicists Richard A.
McCorkle and James Joyce is discussed
in a recent issue of "Research and
invention a newsletter on academic
research and invention published in New
York.
According to the newsletter, the
amplifier devised by Drs. McCorkle and
Joyce last year will resolve many of the
problems encountered by scientists
attempting to build an X-ray laser beam
device for communications, cancer
treatment or study of atomic structure.
The McCorkle-Joyce amplifier fulfills
the need for high pumping power and a
resonant cavity by sweeping a heavy iron
beam across a foil target. The process is
usually difficult to manage at X-ray
frequencies, the newsletter says.
Biology grant
Dr. Vincent J. Bellis and Dr. Charles E.
Bland of the ECU Department of Biology
recently received research grants from the
Marine Science Council of the University
of North Carolina.
Both grants are intended to initiate
projects which will develop into
long-range research programs.
Dr. Bellis, assisted by graduate
student Marilyn Capps of Wilmington and
senior Russel Holmes of Medford, N.J
will study factors affecting irruptive
growths of filamentous algae in the
Pamlico River Estuary.
Residents of the area are asked to
assist the project by reporting unusual or
excessive growth of seaweed to the
ECU biology department.
Dr. Bland will conduct a preliminary
study of fungi parasitic on mosquito
larvar on the coast. He will collaborate
with Drs. J. N. Couch and S.V. Romney of
UNC-Chapel Hill who are now investigat-
ing the use of fungi in the control of
mosquitoes.
i Sci lecture
The Watergate tapes, presidential
confidentiality and the nature of executive
power were discussed by ECU political
scientist Tinsley E. Yarbrough at a
Catawba College gathering Monday.
Dr. Yarbrough's lecture, based on legal
briefs of the key figures in the current
Watergate-related litigation, examined the
arguments of the President's counsel and
the Special Prosecutor regarding the
scope of executive privilege.
He was one of several speakers at the
Forum on Contemporary Political Issues
held at the Salisbury campus.
The "Texas Law Review" will publish
Dr. Yarbrough's article on Justice Black
and his critics in its next issue.
He is an associated professor in the
ECU Department of Political Science.
Chemistry research
Dr. Myron L. Caspar, Associate
Professor of Chemistry, ECU, will
conduct seminars in chemistry as a
visiting lecturer at the University of North
Carolina-Greensboro on Feb. 15 and at
Western Carolina University Feb. 18.
Dr. Casper will speak on research
carried out at ECU over the past several
years by his students and himself. The
seminar visits conducted by ECU faculty
members in the Chemistry Department are
to improve communication and develop a
better understanding of chemistry
education and research at ECU.

Paul Hill Chorale
Launched in Washington, D.C in
1967 as the performing entity of the
National Choral Foundation, the Paul Hill
Chorale first won nationwide recognition
when it was cited its performance in the
Emmy Award winning production of
Menotti's "The Unicom, the Gorgon and
the Manticore Now firmly established
through its regular series at the Kennedy
Center and its performances with the
National Symphony Orchestra of Wash-
ington, D.C Washington critics have
been unanimous in their unqualified
praise of Paul Hill's direction and the
Chorale's fresh and adventurous program-
ming; New York's and the nation's press
have added high marks for the ensemble's
in-depth attention, not only to the
conventional repertoire, but to American
musical history. During the course of a
sold-out five and one half weeks' tour in
the winter of 1974, audiences of the east
and midwest, for the first time, will have
an opportunity to hear this exciting
attraction.
Paul Hill, young Ohio-bom founder
and director of the Chorale, has
conducted choral groups and festivals
throughout the United States, and has
held teaching posts at Temple University,
State University of New York, Columbia
Union College and Oakland University.
His groups have performed in New York's
Carnegie Hall, and he has prepared
choruses for performances with the
Philadelphia and National Symphony
Orchestras. For his musical direction of
the National TV production of Menotti's
"The Old Maid and the Thief Hill was
nominated for an Emmy Award. His
musical direction of Scott Joplin's opera,
"Treemonisha at Wolf Trap Farm Park in
August, 1972, was widely hailed.
All tickets for students and public will
be 50 cents. They are available in the ECU
central ticket office.

To-Morrow's Sports
By JACK MORROW
Sports Editor
WEVE GOT THE BODIES BUT NOT THE PROGRAMS
More shattering than the energy crisis to schools with big time athletic programs
is public law 92-318. the Public Education Act, which says that "women collegians
must have athletic programs equal to the men
Now what bothers Southern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference and all National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member schools is the fact that they may be
ordered to spend the same amount of money on women's athletics as they currently
spend on men's. ?
The hypothetical question arises that if both men and women nave basketball
teams then both should have the same budgets and have the same salaries paid to
their coaches Now naturallyone canseethe cause for consternation arising among our
"dear friends" in the ACC. If Norman Sloan, head basketball coach at North Carolina
State gets say $25,000 a year, then the law states that the women's basketball coach
should get $25,000 a year, and if the N.C. State recruiting budget for the men is $20,000
a year, then the women should be allocated $20,000 a year for recruiting their
basketball players. .
This even goes further in the question of trainers, assistant coaches, budgets, and,
of course equipment and equal facilities.
Naturally women want their own athletic programs and especially in schools where
they sometimes outnumber the men. Letting females into football games free of
charge to watch the men play is not giving them equal opportunity.
Women have played a very important role in athletics throughout the years. One can
remember Billie Jean King, Wilma Rudolph (winner of three gold medals in the 1960
Olympic Games in Rome), Andrea Mead (the first American woman to win a gold medal
in the Winter Olympics) and Micki King (a gold medalist in the three-meter diving event
in Munich and is presently the head diving coach at the United States Air Force
Academy).
Recently Francie Larrieu, who will enter UCLA on scholarship in the fall, set a new
women's indoor track record for the mile, running 4:34.6. This girl had to sell raffle
tickets to get expenses in order to attend the Olympic Trials for the United States
' team. Would the Russians made their women athletes go out and sell raffle tickets in
Moscow?
The Guiness World Book of Records lists the Payne Whitney Gymnasium at Yale
University in New Haven, Conn, as "the most complete physical education faculty in
the world
As of July 1, 1973, a 5 foot-2, petite mother of two has filled the giant sneakers
needed to run this complex. Mrs. Joni Barnett, Physical Education Director at Yale
University and the first woman in the nation to hold such a post, has a most interesting
philosophy on physical education.
She has stressed in her management an attempt to enhance individual instruction
and to accomplish these aims she has hired many part-time specialists. Her reasoning
is that oftentimes the benefit is that you get a highly qualified person who is not
anywhere near available on a full-time basis.
This same philosophy could result in increased benefits on our own East Carolina
University campus. There are many graduate students, who have played four years of a
sport on a varsity level, whohavemuch to offer in that particular sport. Also many
would welcome financial renumeration while giving of the skills they learned, to
others. This is true in both men's and women's athletics.
Therefore even with limited budgets, there is no reason on a campus this large that
-Vhere should be inadequate coaching or teaching of a sport. The problem seems to be
more of a proportionate distribution of the overall athletic budget.
This then brings us to the question of PRIORITIES, for example: should football
consume 50 per cent or more of the athletic budget for a school which is composed of
57 per cent women.
Even the 1974 East Carolina Pirate Club brochure states "our purpose is to
enhance the athletic program that will result in increased athletic excellence in ALL
sports
Students, now is the time for you to speak your piece. If you desire changes in the
athletic program that you see around you today, then you should make them known to
the athletic council and your SGA representatives. After all, this is your university. The
program here should be for the benefit of the students, not for the convenience of the
instructor.
PADRES SOLD
The San Diego Padres of the Western Division of the National League were
recently sold to Ray A. Kroc, a prominent American businessman. This man was
responsible for the conception of McDonald's hamburger stands in America.
Kroc has already introduced a few changes to the Padres' home game
format. Instead of play the "National Anthem" before each game, Ronald McDonald
will now dance across the infield singing, "You deserve a break today, so get out and
get away

Billy Cunningham is resting comfortably following kidney surgery on Tuesday.
He should be released from the hospital in about two weeks.

Buc swimmers face Catholic
The East Carolina Pirate swimmers
will take their 4-4 record up to
Washington D.C. this Saturday to battle
Catholic University. The meet is
scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.
Coach Ray Scharf's squad has been
working extra hard this week and they
have also done something a little
differently. Scharf had his swimmers take
out the lane markers and turn them
around, so they run across the pool
instead of lengthwise. This makes for a
distance of 20 feet, which is the length of
the Catholic pool.
The Pirates have defeated the
University of South Florida, St. Johns, the
University of Richmond and the University
of Virginia, while bowing to Army, the
University of North Carolina, North
Carolina State and Maryland.
The Buc swimmers will certainly not
be looking past Catholic, but in the back
of their minds is the Southern Conference
Swimming and Diving Championships
which will be held later this month in
Minges Natatorium.
East Carolina will close out the regular
season with dual meets against Southern

White
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
Nicky White scored 20 points and
grabbed 10 rebounds in leading ECU to a
76-68 Southern Conference basketball
victory over Appalachian Monday night.
The victory in Boone, N.C. put the
Pirates in third place in the conference at
7-4 and made their overall record 12-9. It
also set up a showdown Saturday in
Davidson between ECU and Davidson for
the second place berth in the upcoming
tournament.
The Pirates led by as much as 21
points in shooting 53 per cent from the
floor.
Robert Geter opened the scoring in the
game but the Mountaineers traded
baskets up to 12-12, after that the Pirates
took off.
Nicky White hit a jumper, Buzzy
Braman scored on a fast break and
another basket by White stretched the
lead to 18-12.
Appalachian closed to within five but
Reggie Lee and Geter hit baskets to give
ECU a 31-23 halftime lead.
White scored to open the second half
and the lead stretched out to 18 points on
a basket by Larry Hunt.
Appalachian rallied behind Stan Davis,
the conference's second leading scorer
with a 24 point average, and closed to
within six points. Davis hit 15 of his 24
points in the game during this streak.
The lead was too much though and
Roger Atkinson's two free throws ended
the game.

ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
It appears that only two Pirates have a chance at making either First or Second
Team All-Southern Conference in basketball this year. Logically, and as is all to often
the case, logic is foreign to many of my colleagues, Reggie Lee and Nicky White
should make First Team. Well Lee has the roses but White is too short.
Lee has several things going for him, but there's one large adverse stamp beside his
name, FRESHMAN. But he does not score like a freshman, rebound, play defense, or
think like a freshman. The guy just didn't want to wait a year to become great.
Lee is also clever, for when the press was there so was Reggie. He scored in double
figures against ACC opponents Duke and N.C. State, scored 18 points in the opener
against American Univ. in the Presidential Classic in Washington, D.C and has led the
Pirates in scoring five times.
But Lee has a clear advantage by the simple fact that the Southern Conference is
not loaded with quality guards. Bruce Grimm of Furman should make First Team
All-Conference with Lee, and Grimm is also a freshman. But Grimm was a First Team
All-American in high school, runnerup for the prestigious Indiana state "Mr.
Basketball" award and those accolades follow you around. Besides these two, few
people can name another guard in the league, perhaps John Falconi but he missed a
great deal of the season because of injuries.
White has all the credentials, except Fessor Leonard and Clyde Mayes of Furman
and Aron Steward of Richmond have all the press. All three made the First Team last
year and two of them are having exceptional years. Stewart was Player of the Year last
year and that award alone tends to let a player ride on the waves awhile. Mayes buried
us here, gave the Wolfpack a devil of a time in Charlotte last week and rained havoc
everywhere. These two have talent and deserve the award.
Leonard substitutes talent for that little statistic by his name which read 7'1 It
seems that to be seven feet tail is the key to stardom to the press. A prime example is
"over there" in the ACC. Tom Burleson is 7'3" and the All-Conference center. Len
Elmore of Maryland outhustles, outrebounds, generally outplays and even looks more
like a basketball player than Burleson. Ask yourself why N.C. State didn't dominate the
league when Big Tom was a sophomore. Answer, a man named David was still in
Shelby laughing over what his coach called opposition.
Leonard can shoot from the outside and gets, or should I say reaches, some
rebounds and is an obvious menace with his size.
Now look at White. Against all the top notch centers he's faced he'd outplayed
them. He made Burleson look like a goon in Raleigh and gave Bob Fleisher of Duke
fits. He scored 32 points against Davidson. Against Richmond he completely
outshone Stewart by scoring 29 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. But White's true
value is he can handle pressure. Every opponent the Pirates faced shook hands with
strangers at the tip off, except wheo they greeted White. He was the lone returning
starter, the man to stop.
Ah, but Leonard is tall and relegates White to Second Team, we hope. For in the
crazy world of sports, with South Carolina and Virginia having the most sports writers
covering Southern Conference basketball and thereby the most votes, nothing is ever
certain.
Well one thing is, if you are seven feet tall you get the ripest apples.
TRACK AND B. RIGGS
The Pro Track circuit, the International Track Association, gets under way Friday
night in Uniondale, Long Island in New York.
Ben Jipcho, the Kenyan who holds the world record in the 3000-meter steeplechase,
has run the second fastest mile ever in 3:52 and won two gold medals in the recent
British Commonwealth Games, signed a substantial contract this week. Details were
not released. Jipcho will run the mile and two mile in the ITA.
An added attraction this season will be a contest of world record holders in the
mile. Jim Ryun and 1968 Olympic 1500-meter gold medalist Kip Keino running against
the indomitable Bobby Riggs.
Riggs, running without his racket, will run a half mile while Ryun and Keino are
running mile. Sounds like Riggs has it made? Not hardly.
Both Ryun and Keino on "routine" nights run four minute miles compared to the
average jogger who can only cover a quarter mile in two minutes. But is Riggs average?
Probably not. There's $10,000 riding on the race, not "Houston gourmet" but it buys
a lot of tennis balls.

Pirate's Gail Phillips gains victory
The women's gymnastic te, traveled
to Columbia, S.C. last weekend for a meet
with the University of South Carolina and
the University of Florida-Gainesville.
The girls, outclassed by these two
superior squads, nevertheless made a
respectable showing on a team basis.
Florida, which virtually dominated the
meet, was coached by World Games
participant Linda Phillips. The excellance
of their coach carried over into the teams'
performances.
The ECU girls have been plagued by
" love you for what you arc,
hut I love you yet more for
what you are going to ho
injuries the entire year, however they did
come up with a few bright stints on the
uneven parallel bars. Gail Phillips placed
first in this event, and freshman Charlene
Daniels placed third.
The team will participate in its final
meet of the season on Friday when they
travel to Longwood College.
