A lot of preparation
Lucas: 'Not merely a group of promises'
By DIANE TAYLOR
Co-News Editor
Secretary of International Affairs,
Bob Lucas has entered the SGA
Presidential race on a coalition ticket with
vice-presidential candidate, Cindy
BOB LUCAS
Domme, against independent Mitchell
Riley.
Lucas explained that he and Domme
have been in preparation for the election
for several months. After researching all
platform ideas, talking to various campus
organizations, and the administration, all
in several different sessions, Lucas
claims, "We feel like the platform we are
presenting now is solidified into
something we can go with, not merely a
group of promises
The platform has been broken down
into five areas of what Lucas and Domme
feel to be the most important aspects of
student concern.
First on the list of platform proposals
is the Student Dollar. Here Lucas
advocates the establishment of a Student
Consumer Union. "This is paramount he
claimes, "(since) one out of every three
people in Greenville is a student
The union would be separated into two
parts: A Grievance Committee, which
would deal witn all aspects of consumer
complaints (landlords, repairs, etc.) and
would work closely with the SGA
attorney. Secondly, Lucas would like to
see booklets of consumer information
made available to students. These
booklets, he explained, would be
especially important for transfer students
and freshmen. They would include many
different aspects such as restaurants,
housing, information for married students,
auto repairs, in short, Lucas said, "All
different aspects of consumer information
students should be aware of
The second designation under Student
Dollar is a plan to expand the Student
Book Exchange working closely with the
Veterans Club in greatly enlarging the
current book exchange.
Next in the line of proposals is Student
Academics. Lucas said that the creation
of a Summer Transit Booklet which would
tell students all essential, pertinent
information for summer school at other
universities (in N.C Virginia and others)
and how it fits into the ECU program is
important.
Utilizing the Free University Concept
by which the administration would pay for
instruction in interest courses (for which at
least ten students must enroll with the
SGA organizing publicity, rooms, etc. and
costing the student nothing, is another
team proposal.
They plan to improve the Audit System
so that a student can audit a course one
quarter and take it for credit the following
quarter and organize a university-wide
tutoring system.
COMMUNICATION
Student Communication is third on
the list and Lucas says, "To me this is
what it's all about. This is where I see the
big problem He feels that the average
student sees student government as an
organization that meets once a week and
argues about petty things. "He doesn't
see it as a tool that directly affects him
Lucas added. "We feel like we should
create more avenues of communication
between student government and
students The LucasDomme team see
several ways to accomplish this.
First they propose a Student Forum
which would give the individual student a
direct voice to the SGA officials. A
President's Forum would increase
communica'Jon on the organizational level
by providing input and feedback on
campus issues. An Inner Group Theme is
a concept to develop a better
understanding between University groups.
The SGA would strive to push for special
appreciation weekends of campus
groups. (.ucas said this came about early
in the planning when various groups
complained of a lack of understanding bv

SGA elections on Thursday
By TIM JONES
Staff Writer
Thursday, March 14, has been set as
the date for the election of 1974-75 SGA
officers. A voting precinct will be set up in
each dormitory, open from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m and in the Student Union, open from
9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Eight students have filed to the
Elections Committee for candidacy in this
election. Running for the office of SGA
president now held by Bill Bodenhamer,
are Mitchel Riley and Bob Lucas. Tom
Clare, Gil Hendrix and Cindy Domme are
running for Frieda Clark's office of
vice-president. Candidates for the office
of treasurer, presently held by Mike Ertis,
are Bill Beckner and Eric Ripper. Vivian
Williams is the sole candidate for
secretary. She is to replace Cindy
Domme.
The candidates met Thursday night
with Yvonne Martindale, Chairman of
Elections. They were informed of the
General Election Rules set forth by the
Elections Committee. The discussion
consisted mostly of aquestion and answer
session concerning legal and illegal
campaign procedures.
Riley; 'Concerned about student needs'
By DARRELL E. WILLIAMS
News Editor
Mitchell Riley, a junior candidate
running against Bob Lucas for the SGA
presidency, "wants to work very closely
with students and members of the
SGA Legislature - listening to their ideas
and opinions
"I feel I am more of a student than a
politician Riley states. "I am concerned
about the needs and welfare of the
students-not the petty politics that the
SGA has sometimes been involved in this
year. I am mostly concerned with trying to
enact what the students at ECU want from
the SGA
When asked to evaluate the activities of
incumbant SGA President Bill Boden-
hamer, Riley replied, "I think the past SGA
President ran rampant with the SGA. He
tried to run everything himself-like
denying the existence of the Pub
Board .The 'If you don't like it, get rid of
it' philosophy he had just doesn't work. I
plan to work very closely with students and
legislature so that we might, together,
effectively meet the needs of the
students
As a candidate for SGA President,
Riley offered the following statements as
part of his platform for running:
Student supply co-op. "I think we
need a co-op on campus in which a
student can purchase books, clothing,
food, and other personal needs at nominal
costs. The Vet Club program for selling
books, like a co-op, is a good idea. The
campus bookstore, I feel, is a rip-off. I feel
that ECUstudents could purchase needed
supplies at a much lower cost than what
they offer. This might be done by
soliciting a large publishing companv.
MITCHELL RILEY
MMMMWmiM
such as McGraw-Hill, to ship large
quantities of books and school supplies to
campus for the students to purchase. In
this type of arrangement, the books and
other materials left over would be shipped
to other campuses and sold there instead
of the bookstore losing money on them
and uping the prices of school supplies to
compensate for the losses.
WECU. "I think WECU should
definitely become FM. I believe the quality
of the programming is already suitable for
FM. A FM radio would surely be an asset
to the university and to the students
Greenville Housing. "I think we need
to take a large scale survey of the housing
situation in Greenville. Many nice,
attractive, old houses have been torn down
only to be replaced by cramped and less
attractive apartment buildings. Students
should be given a chance to use these
houses and fix them up before they are
destroyed and replaced by expensive
apartment rentals
�Bike paths. "Bike paths, I feel, should
be included in the Greenville Redevelop-
ment Program. These bike paths should
be immediately considered so that they
can be implemented at the same time as
other redevelopment work and thus save
money
Campus Bar. "I'd like to see beer sold
in the new CU. Beer has long been sold on
university campuses in the North and even
in some N.C. colleges. I think the
tmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
atmosphere of a pub on campus would be
good for the idea of a university as a place
to exchange ideas. Beer might even help
the ideas flow a little better!
Appropriations. "Basically, I am in
favor of appropriating SGA money to such
worthy groups as the I acrosse Team and
the Music School. These groups seemed
to have been given the run-around by the
SGA this year
Outdoor Pool. "I think students need
an outdoor pool with a lounging
area. Since the Greenville City pool has
been closed there has been no large
outdoor swimming facility available to
students. It would be good especially for
Spring quarter and summer school
students
Buses running
The ECU buses will be running again
this week because of an emergency
allocation of 3,600 gallons of gasoline for
campus transportation Monday, according
to SGA president Bill Bodenhamer. The
gas allocation for the buses was cut last
Tuesday but ECU administrators and
Bodenhamer appealed to the Governor's
Energy Commission, which decided that
the transportation system was effective
and much needed by the students, so the
allocation was granted.

Serving in the SGA since 1972 as
Assistant SGA Attorney General and
Attorney General, Tom Clare feels that this
experience makes him well qualified in his
race against Cindy Domme and Gil Hendrix
for SGA Vice President.
"We have had a lot of good ideas in the
SGA this year and I have seen both the
problems and the success of the enacting
of these ideas. I have a good idea of how
problems and shortcomings because I
have been so closely involved with SGA
activities
Clare thinks that students should be
made aware of the problems and
difficulties that they might be confronted
with. Only then, Clare states, can the SGA
be an effective organization. Once the
students are well informed and there is
open communication between the
students and the SGA, Clare feels the SGA
can effectively serve the needs of the
students.
"I want to unify the students on
campus and try to end the student apathy
which seems so apparent now Clare
says, "not a hell of a lot can be done in the
SGA without the active support of the
student body
Commenting on the past year's SGA
administration, Clare stated, "There has
been a lot of controversy and dispute
among SGA members this past year. In
fact it has almost been utter chaos. As
SGA Vice-President I would like to unify
the SGA and stop all the petty arguments
and disagreements like those that have
confronted us this year. How can the SGA
expect to unify the students if they are so
disjointed themselves? I don't forsee this
division of the SGA next year and, if
elected, I will work to help make the

Gil Hendrix has filed for candidacy in
the three-way race for SGA Vice-President
opposing candidates Cindy Domme and
Attorney General, Tom Clare.
In outlining his four-part plan, Hendrix
said, "My platform is the student's
platform and their interests are things I'd
like to see taken into consideration since
all of us here pay the same tuition
"In the future he said, "I hope to see
some bike paths around Greenville,
especially to Minges and Allied
Health Hendrix said he would also like
to see the Music Department receive some
funds to continue their tours and concerts,
since our Music Department is rated one of
the best in the country now
Hendrix proposes to give financial
support to the Crew and Lacrosse teams,
"Which I think is a valuable part of campus
life here He also sees the need for better
planning in the ECU transit system. "Are
we going to be able to keep the
buses? Can we get gas in the future?" he
asked. These are things we need to know
before more student money is tied up I
would also like to see more fair planning of
bus routes, especially in the western part
of the city. They do not have bus
transportation at this time he added.
Hendrix admits that he has had limited
experience in the student government,
although he said he had recently taken
"strong interest in the SGA activities and
has filed for various offices and vacancies
in the past.
"Without having the student's interest
in mind and trying to meet their needs, I
feel experience is only a small asset, after
all, it is the students who elect you to
hopefully use their money wisely he
claims.
A member of the seven man Judiciary
Board of Aycock dorm in his freshman
year, Hendrix feels, "As far as lack of
experience in the legislature, I feel like I
can make up for this with ambition and
desire for the good of the entire student

Cindy Domme, a vice presidential
candidate running on a coalition with Bob
Lucas, feels that things can be done to
benefit the students as a whole and she is
ready to begin working on them. Domme
and Lucas have been working closely
together and have done research since
January on things that need to be and can
be done in the SGA. The two candidates
have also discussed their ideas with
students to get their opinions.
When asked about her qualifications
for the second top SGA office, Domme
replied: "I've been on the legislature for
two and a half years and I am presently
chairman of the appropriations committee.
I'm a junior now and I've been working with
the student government since spring
quarter of my freshman year. Therefore,
I've seen their workings and I know what's
going on
She has many goals as vice president
of the SGA and she feels these are not
impossible to get. She has taken the time
to look into her ideas thoroughly to see if
they could be obtained, and they can. She
does not wish to make promises that just
sound good to the ear. She is well aware
of what can definitely be done through the
office of president and vice president of
the SGA. When asked if there was any
one particular goal that she hopes to reach
as vice president, she replied, "Yes, I have
many goals but the main thing I want to
see is increased communication. I want to
bring the student government back to the
students. One way this can be done is
through a president's forum. That is
simply a meeting together of all of the
leaders of campus organizations once a
month to let them express what they would
like to see take place on campus. The
leaders could bring ideas in from
respective organizations. Another way
this can be done is through a student
forum. This is when students come in and
express their grievances and ask questions
about things they don't understand
Cindy, along with her running mate,
Bob Lucas, also expressed concerns of the
establishment of a student consumer
union. She explained this as an
informative union on consumer interests.
It could handle students' complaints about
certain consumer items.
The two top office seekers are also
concerned with the examinaiton of a
possible bike trail system and the creation
of a student lobby. The student lobby
woula De a group of students working
together to lobby for the things that are
needed and wanted by all the students,
Domme explained.
The development of new academic
programs are among the platform ideas of
vice presidential candidate, Cindy
Domme. Some of these ideas and
programs she explained, would include a
summer transit booklet with summer
school information for schools throughout
the state and how to transfer the courses
back here to East Carolina for credit. It
CINDY DOMME
would also include costs. The new
academic programs would include a free
university concerpt and improvement of
the audit system. Domme reminds the
students that all of these ideas have been
researched and can be developed. She and
Lucas have traveled and looked into how
some of these programs work on other
campuses in the state and explored the
possibility of them working here at East
Carolina University.
Domme also notes the benefits of a
coalition in the sense that it is two people
working together in favor of something
instead of two people constantly debating
against each other. She feels that the
president and vice president should work
together and have the kind of
understanding that she and Lucas have.
If anyone has any questions
cof cerning the programs outlined here,
Domme urges the students to feel free to
contact her anytime. She expresses her
thanks to Jim Davis who is her campaign
manager, and to all the students who have
worked along with her and Lucas.
"I want to win this election she
exclaimed. "I've worked hard and so has
Bob. I know what has to be done and I
know how to do it She reminds students
to "take SGA elections seriously. It is your
money SGA is using she added. "Make
sure it's used responsibly, with your

The office of SGA Vice-President Clare says, "I would be working very
closely with the President I would not. however, be enacting only what the
Resident wants. We wouid be working together, cooperatively, sharind ideas
in an effort to serve the SGA and the students
As part of his platform. Clare commented on the following issues:
Pub Board. "I feel very strongly that the Publications should be completely
separate from the SGA. The controversy this past year over Pub Board appro-
priations and legality has proven that the SGAPub Board relationship as it is
now is not very compatible or reliable. These organizations should definitely
be separated
Appropriations. "I feel that all organizations must be well evaluated before
student (SGA) funds are given to them. I am sorry that such groups as the
Music School and the Lacrosse Team were not able to obtain SGA funds this
past year, however, and hope that as SGA Vice-President I will be able to help
solve problem cases such as these
Dormitories. "The dorms are an area of great interest to me. Dorm curfews
for women, especially, need to be eliminated. Students, male and female, have
been arrested and even jailed this year for dorm curfew violations. I don't feel
that this type of action should be necessary. Students sometimes seem tote
forced into living in the dorms. And the administration requires that
non-resident students live in them no matter how old they are or what
circumstances (other than marriage that they are in. To prevent this 'forced
into living there' attitude that students have, the administration should take
immediate steps to make dorm living more attractive and realistic. It will take
hard and careful work to do this but it is very important that it be done
Legal counseling. "My experience with the student legal counsel service
has proven to me that the service is a very vital and necessary one. I really want
to keep this service alive, possibly expanding it soon

the students.) Last along the line of student communication is the advent of
Student Opinion Surveys, which are currently non-existant here. Lucas
explained that the surveys would "feed the SGA-give us something to go on "
Lucas and Domme would like to see a Student Lobby established to improve
actual student influence. The Lobby would push strongly for student needs "I
hink you need a group in the SGA that does nothing by lobby for student
needs. Lucas said. "I think the ECU NCSL team is a perfect group for this "
As an example of what this lobby could do, Lucas mentioned the possibility
of an overpass on 10th St. He explained that the Greenville City Manager told
him it was 98 percent possible, but that the initial push should come from the
student government and administration, because it would be used 100 percent
by students. Lucas said the manager promised he would push for it and that it
would be paid for by the state. "This is something that hasn't been looked into
but we need it and if it's free we should get it Lucas added "Student'
lobbyists could push for this
On the campus level the student group could lobby for vital student needs
through the use of campus opinion surveys. On the state level, the group could
attempt to lobby for the students by working with other universities "I know
we can t change the world, but there are unlimited amounts of thinqs we can
do. ' Lucas claimed
The last proposals of the team platform deal with student safety Main
issues here include the overpass on 10th St. and bike trails. Lucas explained
that the City of Greenville is working on plans for bike trails now. "I feel like we
should work with them he said. "I think it is a good concept, but I think we
should carefully examine the cost In outlining the research necessary for
such a project, Lucas displayed information he received from a university in
Florida which has an operating bike trail system.
OTHER VIEWS
Lucas views the SGA President as one who coordinates the different student
acitivites and groups on campus. "He should delegate authority feels
Lucas Through past experience in student government, I feel it is best to
delegate as much authority and not be an authoritative, do-all be-all tvrje
president ' "
Speaking of his reasons for a coalition ticket, Lucas said, "I think one of the
largest problems this year has been personality conflicts. This is a great
tragedy I feel like a coalition has an advantage because we can get to student
problems quicker - theoretical ideas of student government are congruent "
In closing, Lucas added, "The main thing students should keep in mind is
they subsidize student government with their student activity fee So since it's
! feel like they should voice their opinions. Therefore, I stress that

Old vices become new habits on Doobie's latest
ByJ.K. LOFTIN
Staff Writer
The Doobie Brothers
"What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits"
Warner Bros. Records W2750
The Doobie Brothers' latest album
release comes almost a year after the
classic "The Captain and Me L.P a time
lag perhaps due to the increasing demand
for them as a concert attraction throughout
the country. Very few groups have been
able to combine commercial success,
artistic appeal, professional know-how,
and good over-all production level (both
live and recorded) as have the Doobies,
especially in the short time (18 months)
since "Listen to the Music" first came
out. With a good, but obscure, first album
"The Doobie Brothers a fine second
album "Toulouse Street and an
outstanding third album "The Captain and
Me this band has continually improved in
quality of material, arrangements, and
production work. With this in mind, and
considering that "What Were Once Vices
Are Now Habits" ("Vices" for the rest of
this article) is their fourth album, a good
question to ask is what are they trying to
do now. This new album answers very
clearly that they are continuing to refine
their techniques while working in basically
the same framework as before. The songs
are still melodically appealing, though not'
quite on the same level as the outstanding
compositions on "The Captain and
Me The arrangements and production
work continue to reach new levels of
achievement which balances out or
possibly even offsets the slight reduction
in the quality of the songs themselves.
The addition of the Memphis Horns
(formerly the Mar-Keys, who combined
with Booker T and the M.Gs to back
almost every soul hit in the mid-sixties)
'adds dimension to the sound. While horns
are nothing new to the Doobies, having
used them on their second album and
synthesizing them on their third, the
superior arrangements do add much
especially on the soul influenced 'You Just
Can't Stop It Various other guest
musicians add further breadth and novelty
to the arrangements, including Arlo
Guthrie, Eddie Guzman (percission man
for Rare Earth), Milt Holland (L.A. studio
percussion man best known for his work
with Loggins and Messina), regular
sidemen Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (of Steely
Dan) and Bill Payne (keyboards for Little,
Feat) as we11 as the Doobies' own former
drummer, M,chael Hossack.
If there are any points on which the
album can be unfavorably criticized they
would be a lack of experimentation and a
slight decrease in the overall quality of the
songs. This is not to say, however, that it
is by any means a disappointing
album. As it is, the listener is wooed by
the consistent series of well-presented and
entertaining selectins, with the mood
changes that are unique to the Doobie
Brothers.
In keeping with their ability to pull
several songs off of each album (except
their first) for A.M. airplay, there are
several songs which seem" to have the
qualities for commercial success. The
most outstanding in this respect is 'Eyes
of Silver followed closely by 'Song to See
You Through' and 'You Just Can't Stop It

Marceau is no less than superb
By BRANDON TISE
Staff Writer
Marcel Marceau, acclaimed worldwide
as the greatest living pantomimist and
currently on a North American tour,
appeared at Wright Auditorium on March
6. With the help of his partner, Pierre
Verry, Marceau enthralled the capacity
audience for an hour and a half with his
masterful presentation.
Devoted to the art of mime since his
youth, he enrolled in dramatic school in
1946, studying under the master Etienne
Decroux. His talent recognized soon after
he enrolled, he has been involved in the
perfection of mime ever since. He has
appeared on many television shows in the
United States while on tour of the major
theatres in the country.
In 1947 Marceau created his alter-ego,
"Bip a clown dressed in a Deflowered
opera hat and a striped pullover. "Bip" is a
comic, sometimes sad character, who
struggles with the happy and sorrowful
happenings in life.
Appearing first as a style pantomimist
Marceau selected to do "The Sider Show"
as his opening. For an hour he took the
audience on a tour through "The Sculptor"
the satirical "Trial "The Public Garden
the beautiful "Creation of the World and
ending with one of his classic
masterpieces, "Youth, Maturity, Old Age
and Death Throughout these he
displayed his amazing facial expressions
and physical grace. In "The Trial" Marceau
appeared as the haughty prosecuting
attorney, the mean defense attorney, the
defendent, and the bumbling judge, each;
character portrayed magnificiently by
Marceau.
mmm
m
Following a thirty minute intermission,
Marceau returned, this time as his alter
ego, "Bip He performed the comic "Lion
Tamer and "The Great Artist" and then
captured the audience's heart more than
ever with the satirical "Society
Party Using a small black screen as a
prop, he delighted the audience as "David
and Goliath His finale was again one of
his classics, "The Mask Maker in which
he again showed his superb control of his
facial expressions. The audience re-
sponded to his departure with a long
standing ovation and many cries for an
encore.
The East Carolina audience for this
performance was the most responsive one
that I have ever witnessed for an ECU event
of any kind, and their collective energy
could not have been more well spent than
on this premier artist.
months. The remainder of the songs are
definitely restricted to album listening,
being either too long or intricately
arranged for the radio.
Much credit for the quality of this and
the other Doobie Brothers' albums goes to
producer, Ted Templeman. Most record
buyers don't even notice the producer's
credits, or, more importantly, don't know
what he does. A producer, along with the
artist, determines the choice of material
style of arrangements and the technicar
aspects such as sound effects and mixing
of the voices and instruments. The
producer can be considered as an
additional member of the band while they
are in the recording studio (hence George
Martin's title as the fifth Beatle) and can
very greatly influence the final product. In
Mr. Templeman's case the effect is classy
,and adds greatly to what we know (on
records) as the Doobie Brothers.
With "Vices" the Doobie Brothers have
shown that they can continue to present
themselves with increasing effectiveness
and skill, while at the same time
thoroughly entertaining the listener.
Hopefully, they will experiment more as
time goes on, as their talent, ability and
imagination develop. With this thought in
mind, their fifth album should be
interesting. However, until it comes, don't
miss this one.

Start thinking
SGA elections are this Thursday.
You aren't interested, right? You're nonpolitical, and anyway - the SGA is a game,
and you're interested in real things.
Your money is pretty real, too, and - whether you know it or not - it funds that great
big SGA game in the sky. The election of this year's much-maligned SGA President Bill
Bodenhamer was, in part, due to student voter apathy. We've spoken to numerous
students who claimed they were against Bodenhamer, but didn't bother to vote. What if
they had voted?
That's the question we're putting to you now. The SGA is, at this time, a
many-tentacled bureaucracy boasting every possible cabinet position save Secretary of
War It's often more difficult to get hold of an SGA officer than to contact a member of
the Administration, and the great SGA machine is constantly churning out little set
speeches about its accomplishments. A potentially good organization has become a
great plastic tangle machine and a rip-off, and your parents' money, summer savings or
bank loans are footing its bill.
So what are you going to do about it?
You can, for starters, vote for someone. To our knowledge, Fountainhead hasrt't
publicly supported any SGA candidates in several years. However, we feel it's a must for
1974-75, when the SGA can either save itself from self-generated chaos, or risk worse in
the future. And so, for what it's worth. Fountainhead is supporting the following
candidates for the major SGA offices:
Mitchell Riley - for SGA President
Tom Clare - for SGA Vice-President
Bill Beckner - for SGA Treasurer
These people won't give you any fancy lines or pompous bull about student
government. They aren't offering you another bureaucracy, and they won't ask you to
foot the bills for their personal prestige. Clare and Beckner have been working for
students via their positions as SGA Attorney General and legislator, respectively, while
Riley has a healthy horror of octopus bureaucracy. Fountainhead urges student support
of three honest guys - Riley, Clare and Beckner - and a subsequent return to real student
government run by people you can talk to.
Even if you pride yourself on being "nonpolitical" and uninterested in the SGA, it's
your hard-earned cash that funds that organization. Respect your own investment and
vote for decent brokers or watch next year's SGA play ping-pong with your funds, and
turn a potential student friend into a rip-off heaven. Vote Thursday and save yourself a
lot of heartache in 1974-75. 0

Energy glut argued
By SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER
Will the nest world crisis be an
energy glut?
This provocative question was raised
recently in a lengthy article written by the
editors of the London Economist, a British
publication.
The Economist editors base their
arguments on history. They claim that
past experience shows that whenever
something was said to be in short supply,
governments and entrepreneurs have
combined to create a surplus of the
commodity within a decade.
Asking the question why energy should
be any different, the Economist states:
"The present energy crisis is about the
15th time since the war (World War II) when
the great majority of decision-influencing
people have united to say that some
particular project is going to be in the most
desperately short supply for the rest of this
century. On each of these previous
occasions, the world has sent that project
into large surplus within five to ten years
Backing up their argument, the
Economist editors note out that in the
period of 1946-69 all agricultural experts
were forecasting a permanent postwar
shortage of dairy products and that this led
to mountains of butter within a decade.
"In 1950-51 the article continues, "the
Korean war boom was said to show that
raw material prices would keep rising
forever; instead, some took until 1970 to
regain their 1951 peak. In particular, an
international action group was set up in
1951 to deal with the world's 'worse
permanent bottleneck' of sulphur, shortly
before the stuff became practically
unsaleable.
"The future chief economic advisor to
the British treasury published his book on
the world's lasting dollar shortage in
1953-54, which was the first of the world's
20 consecutive years of surplus
dollars. Russia's first Sputnik in 1957 was
said to be so far ahead of the West's
conceivable technology that it would leave
America for the rest of our lives in the back
end of the 'missile gap Within six years
the Americans were preparing to fire
surplus rockets at the moon. Then there
was going to be a worldwide shortage of
university graduates from the science
department; within a decade there were
one of the biggest groups of the
unemployed.
"As the 1960s started, there was said to
be limitless prospects for offshore funds
and other equity investments media for the
small man, for go-go business
conglomerates, for high technology
companies like Rolls Royce; these wre
therefore the ventures that went bust
In discussing ways in which the energy
shortage might be overcome, the
Economist points out that there are many
ways of releasing energy from storage in
matter, and that many of them will be
developed as a result of new
technology. It also predicts that conser-
vation methods would account for a great
deal of savings, and that the distribution of
electricity, as well as all energy, is grossly
inefficient and that this can be expected to
be corrected. The Economist goes on to
state that Americans could save the
equivalent of three-quarters of Great
Britain's annual oil imports if they used
cars with the same economy of fuel
consumption as Europeans do.
Another point raised by the Economist
mtmtmm
was the fact that in future years much
travel will become unnecessary and will be
replaced by a great growth in telex
transmission, facsimile transmission by
telecommunication, picturephone and
similar devices.
If nothing else the articel in the
Economist provides much food for
thought. It should be studied by all
American policymakers.

To Fountainhead:
As students of East Carolina
University, we are interested in the
strength of our SGA. The necessity of
capable student leaders is apparent to us,
and we wish to fulfill this necessity. There
should be an increase in student
communication with student opinion
surveys, and giving the individual student
a time to voice his opinions. These and
more concerns such as a student lobby on
both a campus level and state level are the
ideas for change of Bob Lucas and Cindy
Domme in SGA legislature. On March 14
we will be voting for Bob Lucas for
president and Cindy Domme for
vice-president of our SGA.

well-qualified candidate for this position,

S.G.A. He wishes to return the S.G.A. to
its original purpose: lobbying for you, the

The S.G.A. spends 90 percent of its
time arguing over appropriations. They
spend too little time on important student
rights, such as unlimited hours for all
coeds, 24 hour visitation in the dorms,
etc. The S.G.A. is not a business and
should not rent refrigerators; this type of
service is better done through contracts.

David Buskin
To Fountainhead:
I remember reading somewhere that the
Student Union committees welcome
suggestions. I don't know who is the
proper person to contact so I'm writing this
in hopes that the right ones will see it.
Recently at NCSU, I had the wonderful
experience of seeing and hearing David
Buskin in concert. I, as many others,
knew nothing about him prior to the
concert. He used to write for Peter, Paul
and Mary. He now sings, plays acoustical
guitar and writes just about all of his own
music. After hearing the concert I had to
buy an album by him. Since purchasing
the album, I started wondering what it
would take to get David Buskin in concert
here. (If not this year, hopefully next
year). State had him as a free concert
which was probably funded by the Student
Activity money. I feel he would be well
received and liked if people would be given
the chance to hear him. Is there any hope
that East Carolina can have some of the
same fine entertainment that State has?
Sincerely,
Brenda Bartholomew
The possums
To Fountainhead:
I don't reckon I've ever been do down
right befuddled as I was the other night in
all my days. Every possum on campus
picked up and left. Well you see, when
those fellows climbed out of their clothes
the other night, the possums just were not
ready for it. The possums got all excited
you know, cause they had never seen folks
running round with their organs flapping
about in the night breeze. Of sure, they
had seen a couple of folks all naked
before, but they had been all bunched up
in the woods and most everything was
quiet cept for a few moans. The other
night it was just too much with all that
hollerin' and runnin' up and down by those
fellows with no clothes on. And too.when
the possums seen those other folks
with their clothes on laughin' and pointin
fingers at the naked young'uns, them old
possums took it that they were lookin' at a
social comment or something like
that. Well, to make it simple, possums
have never been ones for social comments
and things like the other night was just
more than they could take, so they just
hauled off and left.
Now of course, the possums were a
little vocal when they were Tacking up, and
I just happened round bout time to catch a
bit of what they said. You see, I was out
walkin round bout four in the morning, not
doin' nothing cept thinking a little, when I
see this whole party of possums crossin'
Fifth Street and aheadin' out for the river
bridge. To tell you the truth they kind of
took me by surprise, but I did manage to
ask them a couple of questions. Now
possums is old boys who don't mind
talkin' to us people when they get upset,
and I tell you, those possums would have
really bend my ear if they hadn't been
trying to make it to the Roanoke River
before night.
Now let me see if I can get what they
said right. Possums talk kind of fast and
sqeakly when they are upset so I could
hardly piece a whole sentence of what they
said. The oldest possum, whc were leader
of the party, said the naked boys and the
whole crowd were a crowning' blow of
human aggression towards animals in
general and to possums in particular. He
said it just aint a good place to bring up
young possums in. Well, it was about this
time when a little possum poDped his head
up and said he kinda liked the whole thing
and might try it himself if his clothe.
wertn't permanently attached. I believe he
little guy would have continued if his
mama hadn't shut him up. The leader
possum said that was just the kind of thing
he was afraid might happen and he went
on to say he believed if possums were to
stay on campus it wouldn't be long fore
they would be tryin' to make social
comments and such too. All the other
possums nodded when the old possum
said that, and a few of the party plain down
hissed at the idea as if it had left a bad
taste in their mouths.
Well from this point the possums didn't
say too much I could understand cause the
old possum had asked them to step up
their pace least they get caught betwist the
gas lines and be blocked up for the better
part of the day. All the possums agreed
and speeded up. I waved bye as the last
possum cut across Cotanche Street
aheadin' toward the bridge. As they
disappeared round a building, I heard one
of the old mama possums say to her
husband that this would be some tale to be
relatin' to the possums living on the
Roanoke River. I turned round and walked
on back up Fifth Street, debatin' just who's
tail the mama possum was talking
bout. But all considered, I don't spect it
makes a lot of difference.
Yours,
J. Norfleet
Streaking
To Fountainhead:
This is being written as a response to
the memo from Mr. Tucker addressed to
the students, concerning the current
streaking' craze. It is not the purpose of
this letter to ridicule him for writing the
memo, since he has certain obligations to
fulfill as Dean of Student Affairs, but to
express a position on the legal
applications on this 'airing' of one's
personal ideas
In the second paragraph of the memo,
this sentence strikes me as very
interesting: "This statute states that any
person who willfully exposes the private
parts of his or her person in any public
place and(This small word, and,
indicates it seems, two separate pharases
or ideas.) With this thought in mind, it
looks like anyone exposing his or her body
in a public place is violating N.C. General
Statute 14.190.9 Now I realize that it may
be arqued by some that there is a
stipulation later on in the law which says
that the opposite sex must be
present. Isn't the exposure of your 'vital
parts' to a crowd of your own sex a crime?
Theanswe is yes! The point is: Since the
community baths in the dorms are public
places, shouldn t the people who bathe
without their clothes on be arrested in
accordance with the provision of N.C.
General Statute 14.190.9? Image this!
The sight of all those nude bodies! Why
it's mind warping, dirty, and sinful�and
not American!
In conclusion, I think acceptance of
'streaking' as a social custom would be
advantageous, since I have heard there is a
shortage of all natural fabrics coming up
due to the poor cotton crop of last
year. Also I think that if people are
arrested for streaking on campus it would
result in the flooding of the jail with
streakers and the spectators. I n .y think
that the men of the Greenville Poi, & Dept.
would agree that there are mo serious
criminals to be apprehended ratner than
the crazy college kids running around
nude. Why nab the petty offenders while
the real criminals are out pushing heroin

Con-men
To Fountainhead:
I was sitting in my dorm room Friday
afternoon when I heard a sudden knock at
the door. I opened it, and was met by a
warm smile, a friendly handshake, and
"Hi! My name's Johnny Johnson! I'm from
the Times-Mirror Corporation, and I'm
looking for qualified college students who
want summer jobs The results of this
brief encounter were an inflated ego, and
an invitation to an interview for a job
compatible with my aspirations to be a
journalist.
Arriving at the meeting place, an
obscure room in Austin, I was greeted by
the same friendly smile and firm
handshake. There were also eight others
in the room: four students like myself,
and four silent strangers in the rear of the
room, presumably brought by Mr.
Johnson. It appears he'd been busy.
I entered the room, and was handed a
questionnaire which covered my back-
ground, plans for the future, and my
employment history. In the meanwhile, I
was led to believe that I'd be considered for
work which would complement my
aspirations, and which would pay better
than $800 per month. Or MORE
The hour dragged on-we'd been told
that the meeting would last an hour, and
that leaving early would result in little less
than social ostracism. It soon became
apparent that I'd been seriously
misled. The work I'd be doing, the work
which would be "compatible to my hopes
of becoming a journalist was selling
dictionaried door-to-door for the South-
western Corporation, a subsidiary of the
Times Mirror Corporation. The pay?
Wholly on a commission basis, $13 per
pair of dictionaries. The location of my
work? Well, they'd surprise me. In
addition, as I later learned from others
who, less fortunate than I, were ensnared
into this scheme, the Corporation
assumes that college students are
incapable of handling their own
money. As an employee I would receive a
portion of my commissions as an
allowance, and would receive the balance
at the end of the summer. Thus, it seems,
I would be completely taken care of in their
capable hands.
Mr. Johnson, bright smile and all, is a
con-man. All good salesmen are. How-
ever, he's not selling anything. Rather, his
racket is lure unsuspecting students into a
hollow money-making scheme which
benefits the students very little, but is
highly beneficial for the company. Few
companies can boast that they pay
virtually no salaries.
I was fortunate. I saw through the
hollow promises presented by Johnson,
and was able to avoid committing myself
to a binding, and regrettable obligation.
Others, however, may not be so
fortunate. They may sign a contract with
the Southwestern corporation, expecting
the outlandish pie-in-the-sky promised,
and live to regret their error. So, beware
Johnson and his promises which he dishes
out so profusely. He'll talk you into his
worthless get-rick-quick scheme, and out
of an enjoyable, profitable summer.
Sincerely,
BobMarske
Beckner no. 2
To Fountainhead:
I would like to take this opportunity to
express my support for Bill Beckner, who
is running for SGA treasurer in Thursday's
election. Bill has taken the time to come
to the School of Music and outline for us
what he would do if elected.
Students representing music perfor-
mance organizations have appealed to the
SGA for funds on many occasions, year
after year. What is received always falls
short of what is needed. As a result, much
time is wasted and there are some hard
feelings. Bill has proposed that a small
portion of activity fees be channeled to the
School of Music before that money goes to
the SGA. In this manner, the School of
Music would be treated as is the Student
Union, the athletic department, etc.
This seems to me to be a practical
solution to a perennnial problem. Bill has
promised to support this measure in the
SGA next year. I strongly urge you to vote
for Bill Beckner if you teel that music
deserves a place at East Carolina.

formulate one policy. I think Bill
(Bodenhamer) has a knack for agitating
some people. For example, his relations
with the Pub Board and "Fountainhead" -
both are in a position that they can hurt
each other. The two of them never seemed

During this past year the office of
treasurer has been quite controversial.
"As far as doing his job, Mike (Ertis) never
made any mistakes. There were no errors
in the balances. He was a good
accountant. I think I'll be able to work

Tom Clare - Mike has dropped out

other. With Bill as treasurer he will not be

differences of opinion. I think that I would

Candidate for treasurer
Beckner: concerned with student rights
By CHARLES ELLIOTT
Staff Writer
Declaring the ECU Student Government
Association should no longer be
responsible for allocations awarded to the
fine arts departments and Publications
Board, SGA Treasurer-candidate Bill
Beckner hopes to have the SGA more
concerned with students' rights than
campus enterprises.
"Everybody gets mud in their faces
when you mix politics and arts he said in
a recent interview. "If the Drama, Art and
Music Departments could just get a
percentage of the activity fees students
pay, they could better plan their budget for
the oncoming year he said.
The Fine Arts departments currently
must wait until the SGA allocates money
to them before they can plan annual
activities, resulting in much consternation
and apprehension. "That way any
misappropriations would be the responsi-
bility of the department which made
them he said.

Mr. Beckner also proposes that the
same procedure be used for the
Publications Board. The SGA, he said,
has nothing to do with publications and all
incoming publications money should go
straight to the Publications Board instead
of running through the SGA red tape.

Legislature for two years. An honor roll

current SGA Treasurer, in obtaining the
abortion loan fund for ECU. He has always

case approving ballots in the legislature on
music funds, lacrosse and WECU.
Mr. Beckner also proposes to
incorporate an FM frequency toWECU with
funds borrowed from the SGA and the
campus administration. WECU would
then nogotiate with the SGA the
percentage of radio station profits that
would be repaid.
"The SGA should get out of financing
and into students' rights rather than focus
so much on campus enterprises he
said. Mr Beckner also strongly opposes
the curfew imposed on women
students. "It's just not right for the men to
be allowed freedoms that the freshman
women are restricted from
He also spoke strongly on the subjec
of the Veterans Club Book Exchange,
recommending its use by all students in
order that they might escape from the
campus book store rip offs.
When asked about the acquisition of
additional money through the SGA, Mr.
Beckner exclaimed, "It's not a matter of
obtaining more money, it's just a matter of
correctly allocating it. Nobody in the SGA
understands that the money comes in at
one rate and goes out at another. These
matters should be included in the financial
report and I beleive we'd have a much
better budget
It is also Mr. Beckner's ideal to have
students allowed to witness and debate at
allocation meetings, including the
discussion and voting sessions. "This
would end the back door dealing he said.

To-Morrow's Sports

STREAKERS STRIKE
Some 75 male undergraduates staged a spectacular streak at Princeton University
in Princeton, New Jersey, last Friday evening. The streak included a brass band, visits to
the campus library, a pub, a debating society meeting and an invasion of the Eastern
Seaboard Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Championships.
Trailed by a 10-piece band and approximately 300 spectators, the all-male streak team
started out from Princeton's Cuyler Courtyard and ran up campus to Nassau Hall, where
they paused on the steps of the building that was once, for four days, the capital of the
United States, to sing the alma mater.
Picking up followers as they went along, they ran through Firestone Library,
disturbing all but two intent Friday night bookworms.
The streakers, clad in a variety of accessories which included shirts, belts, Princeton
University scarves, tennis shoes and-mostly-nothing, then proceeded to McCosh Hall
where they briefly interrupted a showing of W.C. Field's "The Bank Dick" and other old
favorite movies.
. The streakers then headed for the Pub, an on-campus bar. The streakers were
admitted freely, but everyone of their followers-estimated to have grown by then to about
400-had to show an ID. card before they were allowed in. The streakers did not have
their I.Ds on them.
After pausing for a quick brew or two, the streakers went to Whig Hall, where they
formed a classical tableau by draping themselves around the building's Greek columns
while urging their onlookers to join them.
From Whig Hall, the group ran about 100-yards to Dillion Pool, where I witnessed the
funniest spectacle I had ever seen at a sporting event. The streakers waited for an event
to end and then before some 500 men, women and children, the group ran, danced and
walked around the entire deck of the pool. Some ran the distance while others jumped
into the pool and swam. The Championship meet was being televised and it was quite
interesting to see the look in the producer's eye when the streakers made their
appearance.
The group then said good-bye to the crowd and fled back into their element not only
naked but sopping wet.
"STRETCH"
While at Princeton it was good to see former ECU record-holder, Jim
Griffin. "Stretch who was one of the last Americans to be drafted into the Army, is now
stationed at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where he is training Pentathalon athletes.
The Pentathalon consists of four events, running, swimming, shooting and
horseback riding. Griffin was once a pentathalon competitor himself. He was quite
competent in all aspects of the competition, except running.
WOMEN'S NATIONALS
Penn State University will be the site of the Women's National Intercollegiate
Swimming and Diving Championships on March 14-16.
Coach Eric Orders will take four swimmers and two divers to represent East Carolina.
THE GREAT SPECULATOR
Pirate head basketball coach Tom Quinn was relieved of his duties last Thursday
after eight years of service to East Carolina.
By just closing my eyes and taking a running jump I would speculate and say that
Dave Patton, an assistant under Quinn, has an excellent chance at being named Quinn's
successor.
Morrow aims at NCAA's
A few members of the East Carolina
Southern Conference Champion swim-
ming team travelled to Princeton, New
Jersey this past weekend and they found
the going a little rough as they competed
in the Eastern Seaboard Intercollegiate
Swimming and Diving Championships.
Senior diver Jack Morrow was the only
bright spot for East Carolina as he
qualified for the finals of the three-meter
diving competition and he finished ninth
out of 38 competitors. Morrow was in
sixth place at the end of the preliminary
round of dives.
Morrow just did miss qualifying for the
finals on the one-meter board as he
finished thirteenth.
East Carolina swimmers who perform-
ed well included Larry Green, Ross
Bohlken, Paul Schiffel and Mike Bretting.
Green swam his personal best time
ever with a 1:48.7 in his leg of the Pirates'
800-yard freestyle relay. Bohlken set a
new freshman record with a time of 1:47.8
in the 200-yard freestyle event. Schiffel
did his career best time in the 1650-yard
freestyle event and Bretting recorded his
best time ever in the 100-yard butterfly.
The championship meet, which
determined the Ivy League Champion, was
captured by host team Princeton as they
won the final relay of the meet and edged
Harvard.
Morrow and his diving coach Paul
Donohue will now head to Long Beach,
California for the NCAA Swimming and
Diving Championships to be held on March
21-23.
Errors plague Pirates
The East Carolina baseball team saw
their record drop to 2-2 last Wednesday
and Thursday as they twice fell victim to
N.C. State at Doak Field in Raleigh.
The Wolf pack handed the Pirates their
first defeat of the young season by the
score of 4-2. The Bucs outhit the Pack 9-6,
but State used two of those hits in the
fourth inning to pick up the first three runs
of the game.
ECU put forth a rally in the next inning,
coming up with their only runs of the
game.
In that fifth inning, Bobby Harrison
received a base on balls. With one out,
Rick MaMahon rapped a double, sending
Harrison home with the first Pirate
run. Both Geoff Beast on and Ron Staggs
then walked to make it three ducks on the
pond. Another free pass, this time to Mike
Hogan, forced in McMahon with the
second run. Unfortunately the rally died
there, with State holding a 3-2 edge.
State added its other run in the bottom
of the eighth for the final margin of 4-2.
Beaston, Carl Summered, and
McMahon each had two hits to pace the
Pirate attack. Starter Eddie Clapp, who
pitched three and two-thirds innings
before being relieved by Bill Godwin, was
the losing pitcher.
The next day State beat the Pirates 4-1,
despite getting only one earned run off the
ECU hurlers. Errors by Summerell and
Ronnie Leggett proved costly to the hopes
of the Buc nine
In the first inning Beaston led off the
game with a single. He went to second on
a wild pitch, and gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead
when he scored on a triple off the powerful
bat of Mike Hogan.
State tied the game up in the third
inning, despite getting only a single. An
error and a wild pitch by the Pirates helped
the run plateward.
An error also led to the two decisive
Wolfpack runs in the sixth. A bunt single,
a stolen base, the error and a single gave
State a 3-1 lead. Another run in the
seventh made the final score 4-1.
Dave LaRussa was the losing pitcher
for ECU, even though the three runs scored

Huntley disappointed
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
Maurice Huntley of ECU found
disappointment and Tony Waldrop of UNC
elation in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field
Championships in Detroit over the
weekend.
Huntley in a preliminary heat of the
60-yd. dash was shaken by two false starts
by the field and ran only 6.3 and failed to
qualify for the quarterfinals.
Waldrop won thegoldmedal in :he mile
run in 3:59.5, making him the only man in
history to run seven sub four minute
miles The previous record was six by Tom
O'Hara. Waldrop's feat is even more
astounding considering he ran all seven
consecutively.
Coach Carson of ECU commented on
the Tarheel All-American.
"Waldrop ran the race with tremendous
ease He ran to win the race and didn't
blow people out until 300 yds. from the
tape If motivated he could have easily
broken Jim Ryun's NCAA record
(3:58.6). He's a senior and wanted to go
out with the mile championship
Reggie Clark of William & Mary won the
880 in 1:52.2, giving the South two NCAA
champions
Carson commented, "The meet had two
great victories for the South in Waldrop's
and Clark's national championships. It
can't help but bring some respect to
Southern track, which has been greatly
overshadowed by the West Coast teams
The team championship was won by
Texas-El Paso with 19 points, followed by
Colorado with 18 points and South
Carolina with 12. The Gamecocks placed
on the strength of their win in the two mile
relay.

BANISHMENT FOR TWO
The last coach has finally succumbed, TomQuinn is no longer basketball boss.
Quinn outlasted them all, four football coaches, two swimming coaches, two soccer
coaches and countless tennis and golf coaches.
His record for eight years was 103 wins and 104 losses. But on closer examination
his first two years were rebuilding years, years in which coaches need to coordinate their
recruiting and playing systems into the program.
Quinn's last six years saw 86 wins and 71 losses. He was named Coach of the Year in
the Southern Conference in 1969 when his team finished 17-11.
In 1972 he coached an underdog third place team to the Southern Conference
championship.
Wait a minute! Why was this man fired?
Only one man has outlasted the entire coaching staff at East Carolina, the athletic
director Clarence Stasavich. Since 1963 Mr. Stasavich has been in control, supreme
control.
Four schools alot more money for basketball in the Southern Conference than
ECU: Furman,Davidson. Richmond and William & Mary. Quinn recruited with a budget
of approximately $9,000. N.C. State uses that much for phone calls.
Now ask yourself who makes out the budget? The answer is Mr. Stasavich and his
athletic council.
But why mention N.C. State in comparison. The reason is the simple fact that we
)lay the Wolfpack. And we play them not when the Pirate team is seasoned or at least a
ittle familiar with each other, say after eight games. No, we play State, Duke and
Davidson as three of our first four opponents.
Now ask yourself who does the scheduling for the major sports at ECU. You're right
again. Clarence Stasavich.
With no money to work with and a suicidal schedule it's surprising Quinn lasted eight
years.
And yet while the majority of the fans of ECU basketball criticize the coach for the
losses, certainly some blame points squarely at the AD.
But why focus just on basketball. Go up to John Welborn, Ray Scharf, Bill Carson or
any of the other coaches and ask them what a few extra dollars will do.
Welborn is banging on the door of the NCAA wrestling palace, but the doorman keeps
asking for a few cents more.
Scharf must be one of the greatest swimming coaches in the nation, for how many
coaches can boast of eight consecutive conference championships. Only Doc
Counsilman of Indiana could raise his hand.
Yet you won't see Scharf in Sports Illustrated or Swimming World or coach of a
national team. To get elected he needs that missing assistance.
Carson outduels every school in North Carolina in track but is continually frustrated
by a William & Mary powerhouse which gets literally thousands of dollars more than he
does.
Have no fear though, the coaches won't complain. They can't. They are forced to
support their school, i.e. their athletic director. When one holds the rope attached to
your livelihood you don't cut it.
I venture to say that even Patrick Dye has a few problems. His credentials as a coach
are impeccable and if one can take Bear Bryant's word his value as a leader second to
none. Certainly Dye deserves unlimited help.
The final question I pose of who fires the athletic director?
If the answer you are given is the athletic council, then ladies and gentlemen you have
been blindsided. And if your response is tyranny, well that's what dictatorships are all
about.
NEW COACH
The top prospect to replace Tom Quinn is Dave Patton, �0 assistant to Quinn for
two years who also enjoys the support of this years Pirate basketball team.
Patton graduated from Georgia Southern College and first coached at Abraham
Baldwin Junior College. After three years he moved on to Dekalb College and two years
later returned to his alma mater as an assistant.
From there he coached Druid Hills High School in Atlanta, Ga. to a 19-8 record and
second place in the state tournament.
Though serving as a recruiter this year, in 1973 he coached the ECU junior varsity
team to an 11-3 record which included a win over N.C. State.
