Union loses funds
CAQER BEAVER SENIOR Ron Lancaster yto Ml cap and gown a trtal run wtth graduation
still 58 days ahead.
By CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT
Staff Writer
Have you heard the rumor that's been
floating around about the Doobie Brothers
playing here this Spring?
Well, don't believe it or any other
rumors concerning concerts this Spring
because, according to Student Union
President, Gibert Kennedy, there won't be
any more this year.
Kennedy said last week that the Pop
Comittee was inoperative, and because of
a series of monetary losses on concerts,
the Student Union could no longer
endanger itself with further losses. These
losses would begin to drain other
programs such as the lectures and fine arts
series.
Kennedy said he has found through
research of pop concert statistics that
Spring was an especially bad time of year
for concerts and was afraid that with five of
them already scheduled for this Spring,
losses could rise as high as $10,000.
From Fall of 1969 until the Spring of
1973, 85 percent of Spring concerts have
been financial disasters, with Winter
concerts coming in at second place with a
5050 loss-profit ratio, according to
Kennedy. Fall concerts were shown to be
fairly profitable, with some 60 percent
reaping profits.
"I had to do it Kennedy said,
"because I'm held responsible for the
welfare of the Union under the
constitution. I have always assumed my
committees to be right and myself to be
wrong when there is a disparity over
issues, but when the union's funds
dropped below $45,000, I had to say 'no
more I felt the committee was setting
itself up for bad losses; the bands were
ones I didn't think would go over too
well. For instance, we were going to get
Marshall Tucker, but he's already canceled
four times and his agency has only
delivered once out of five times
The problem in this situation is
twofoldfirst, that the union is losing
monev. and second, is there any remedy?
GIBERT KENNEDY
The situation is complex, .explained
Kennedy, and one does not know whether
to blame it on Minges Coliseum,
Greenville's placement and population, the
Student Union's inability to provide a large
amount of publicity for the concerts, or
just plain student apathy.
"At a college like Duke University or
U.N.C Kennedy said, "they don't have

Experimental
New admissions programs planned
By CAROL WOOD
Staff Writer
An experimental program for students
who do not meet regular admission
requirements, will be added to ECU'S
admission program for Fall 1974.
Approximately 200 students who would
be otherwise, inadmissible, due to
marginal SAT scores, rank in high school
class, or lower .predicted grade point
averages, will be admitted into this
program.
"These students have no quantitative
deficiencies stated Wendall Allen,
Assistant Dean of General College.
According to Allen, who is responsible
for registering and scheduling classes for
these students, they (the students) have
failed to meet regular admission
requirements, perhaps by only "tenths of a
percent
To help provide the additional
background these students need, they will
be in class almost twice as much as the
regular student, Allen said.
Fall quarter all students in the program
will take the same classes. These classes
will not be listed on the class schedule and
will be only for students enrolled in the
program.
The students will be in class a total of
27 hours per week, but will receive only 12
hours credit. Classes will be smaller, so
instruction will be more personalized.
The content in these classes will be the
same as in regular classes, but the pace
will be much slower.
Students will be taking English I,
History 50, Math 63, Library Science 1, and
Physical Education 12, according to
Donald Bailey, Dean of General
College. Bailey also stated that Math 63
was not a new course it was part of the
curriculum about 10 years ago.
Math 63 and Math 64 will be equivalent
to Math 65. Dr. Robert Joyner of ECU'S
Math Department said the course would
not be "watered down
"The pace will be slower in terms of
mathematical content, more problems will
be worked, and more background will be
given Joyner continued.
Faculty members will work very closely
with these students. Joyner said they will
be given "every opportunity to succeed
According to Dr. Allen, there is an
indication that students need special help
in reading. Therefore, a tutorial reading
lab will supplement History 50.
Students will read the history text in
reading lab. If a student feels he can
�
wmmm
bypass any or all of these classes, Dr
Allen stated there are exit points all along
um i i wtmmi m
the way.
Dr. Susan McDaniel, Assistant
Provost, listed several reasons for the
development of this program: (1) students
do not always perform in high school and
on their SAT according to their abilities;
(2) enrollment is down somewhat, so the
University now has the space and the
facilities to help extra students; (3) there is
an indication that federal laws may require
universities to develop such a program.
This program will not "lower the
University's standards" according to Dr.
Allen. Rather the program is part of the
research carried out at ECU.
"If the experimental admissions
program works, it will become a part of
ECU Allen stated.
Actually this program offers nothing
that is not already available to every
student on campus. Dr. Allen said study
skills courses, math and reading labs, and
counseling services are available for any
student who wishes to take advantage of
the opportunity.
According to Dr. Allen this program
offers "no guarantees and no degree of
success .it is only an opportunity.

Editor-in-Chief
"In the United States writes Max
Oppenheimer, Jr acceptance of
foreign language training as a sine qua non
of any respectable educational background
has never been universal
Oppenheimer, a foreign language
professor at State University (Fredonia,
N.Y.) has perhaps understated the case of
language training today. High school and
university students generally remember
their foreign language studies as a
necessary affliction, a granite requirement
to "get culture With the lowered
entrance requirements of many univer-
sities and the accompanying emphasis on
the vocational, foreign language programs
may have been dealt a heavy
blow. Colleges across the country are
either eliminating foreign language
requirements for entrance or are
eliminating language study as a
requirement for graduation.
The vocational and technical pursuits -
business, nursing, industrial education -
are, meanwhile, receiving increased
attention in university programs. Coin-
cidental ly, these are the areas which rarely
require foreign language study; the
MARQUERITE PERRY
humanities, however, do have that
requirement and are attempting to
maintain both their departmental enroll-
ments and their language requirement.
ENCOURAGE ABANDONMENT
Critics of decreased language
emphasis in the university prophesy doom
for foreign languages; they see the
dropping of a language entrance require-
ment as a prelude to the elimination of all
foreign language requirements. In ad-
dition, they claim that lack of such a
requirement will encourage abandonment
of language study in high schools.
But is there a more hopeful side? The
foreign language faculty at ECU is looking
for one. The university recently dropped
the requirement that entering freshmen
have at least two high school units of a
foreign language. While the language
requirement for college graduation still
stands in many majors, faculty members
are speculating about the effects of the
entrance change.
"There are two explanations where
dropping the entrance requirement is
concerned said Mrs. Marquerite Perry,
chairman of the department of foreign
languages and literatures. "First, the
university is tending toward open
admissions now; it was felt that a person
might be a potentially good college
student, yet not choose or be able to
handle a foreign language in high school
"Second she added, "I think this is ali
part of the tendency toward letting
students structure their programs to suit
themselves
TWO CAMPS
Immediately after the dropping of
the languagentrance requirement at ECU,
members 6f the university community
divided into two camps - those who
approved of the change as a lure for more
students, and those who foresaw next the
dropping of the entire language
requirement and a decline in the quality of
university education.
"The change has been misunderstood
said Perry. "It's just the entrance
requirement from high school that has
been dropped
"A short time ago a former student
here, who's now a high school teacher,
asked me anxiously, 'What's this I hear
about no more language requirement?' I
had to clarify it for all
"Basically she added, "we will
definitely continue to encourage students
to study foreign languages in high
school. We'll give them placement tests
when they enter as freshmen, and will
place them at whatever language level they
belong
ECU divides its basic language study
courses into four one-quarter levels. An
entering freshman takes the placement
test to determine in which of these levels
he should continue his language
study. On occasion, a student proficient
in the language may bypass all four
courses by taking the placement test.
"The high school student who does
take a language will actually be doing
college-level work said Perry, "and can
get credit for it by taking the placement
test
ELIMINATION IMMINENT?
Mrs. Perry has heard from critics
who claim the elimination of the foreign
language graduation requirement is
imminent. These critics claim that few
high school students without language
experience will enter a university major
requiring foreign language. It is felt that
m
DONALD F CLEMENS
these students will be more likely to enter
a program not requiring a language - home
economics, nursing, accounting, and the
like. Vocational-technical fields will
boom, and the humanities, which
generally require a language, will wane.
A second opinion is that the foreign
language requirement for graduation will
be next to go.
Mrs. Perry admits the possibility of
such a development, but remains
optimistic.
"We hope the effect of dropping the
requirement as we have will be to draw the
more interested and serious students into
the foreign language program she
said. "We don't feel that bringing in, say,
high school students without language
backgrounds will hamper us - we're fully
equipped for them and are glad to teach
them
FACULTY SENATE
Dr. Donald F. Clemens, a member
of the Faculty Senate which voted to drop
the language entrance requirement,
explained his view of the action in regard
to the future of foreign languages.
Clemens, a chemistry professor, stated
that he was "absolutely not in favor" of
dropping the language requirement for
graduation.
"One of the reasons we voted for the
drop in a foreign language entrance
requirement was the abuse of the language
placement system said Clemens. "A
language, yet had purposely done poorly
on the placement test to avoid being put in
a more difficult class. The student without
experience would be competing in the
same class with an experienced student
said Clemens.
"Is that fair? The students took
DR. NICOLE ARONSON
advantage of the placement system, and
we tried to rectify this by dropping the
language entrance requirement
NO RELATION
However, Clemens indicated that
this drop "had no relation whatsoever" to a
potential drop of the language requirement
for graduation.
"The whole point is that we feit a
foreign language was not a criterion for
entrance he said. "As for the graduation

By TIM JONES
Staff Writer
"I've been working hard for
Omega These chants rang out on the
block between the student Union and Rawl
Building two weeks ago as the pledges of
the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity performed
before a crowd of students assembled
there.
Song and dance routines were all a part
of the final week of the fraternity's pledge
period called "hell week Hell week, in
addition to being the final pledge week, is
the period when the Pledgees undergo
their most difficult tests before obtaining
brotherhood in the fraternity.
Six young men, Cedric Dickerson,
Jackson Farrar, Alvin Joyner, Dalton
Nicholson, Connie Knight and Dennis
Humphrey, marched toward the center
area of the campus, attracting a fairly large
audience to watch the block show. Wear-
ing dog collars and shaven heads they
went through a series of dance routines
stomping their feet to the rhythmic beat
and singing of their love for Omega Psi
Phi. There was a special show planned for
each day of hell week, and each day the
audience was noticeably larger than the
day before.
The purposes behind the block shows
are very simple. They are entertaining to
the students, and they allow the Omega
pledgees to express their pride in their
fraternity. Most of all, block shows are
something that the brothers of Omega Psi
Phi enjoy doing.
NOW THAT THE PLEDGEES are initiated as brothers, the block shows are not out of existence. Because of favorable audience
response, Omega Psi Phi is planning more presentations for spring quarter.

and a chorus of street people brought
together all at once.
The show here, presented by East
Carolina University Playhouse and School
of Music, is a good one overall. Minor pro-
blems dot the performance. John Russell
wrestles with a guitar he is supposed to be
playing. At times the crowd of people on
stage mill about, the click of tape
recorders is distracting, and isolated
difficulties in hearing are disturbing. More
problems are the segments of the show
devoid of energy. Most troublesome is the
failure to present the theme of the piece
clearly. Is the theme joy in God, doubt,
hope? It is all these things, but the
contrasts between each, and the
developmental movement of the play is
vague.
More important than the production's
problems are its successes. Each player
and sub-group has done his job
well. Along with the production as a
whole, John Russell in the role of the
celebrant wavers at times, but is more
often powerful and touching.
Ronny Lake, the boy soprano, falls into
the same pattern - sometimes weak,
sometimes strong - but essentially
performing well.
Music is the basic ingredient in MASS.
The orchestra plays beautifully and
expertly brings the score to life.
Both of the choirs features in MASS
sang well. Robert lHause Charles Moore
and Edgar Loessin are to be commended
for their couraoe in bringing a boys' choir
of twenty-five o the stage, and the boys
for their perfoimance.
The chorus of street people and
dancers sparked the visual production.
The success or failure of the show rested
with them. Their dynamic interpretation of
the score, their talent, and, most of all,
their energy sustained the performance.
What MASS needs now is more of their
energy to shore up the sagging portions of
the show, and to present more clearly the
theme of MASS. ?

ART
By LAURIE BRUTON
Staff Writer
What does the basement of Grahm
Memorial Hall hold? This building,
located on the UNC campus, stores a
collection of 600 antique dolls from all over
the world.
The showcases start in the
Mediterranean part of the world with
shelves of dolls from Greece, Yugoslavia
and Egypt. An Egyptian doll that caught
my eye is one made of hard wood, wearing
a fur wrap with beads and shells pierced
through his larger than ordinary ears. His
face is long and solemn, his carved eyes
wide and staring and his nost is his largest
feature. He has no arms.
The next set of showcases feature the
mid-Western countries of Europe
including Germany and Austria. The
robustness of these dolls is probably their
most outstanding characteristic. The girls
are hefty and red-cheeked, their colorful
clothing worn in layers.
One husky, little German school-girl
wears a felt red and black frock with a
green silk apron and gold brocade. Her
real hair, worn in braids to her waist, is
neatly tied with ribbons. Her cherub-
looking male companion stands beside
her. His blond curls are hand-painted onto
his bisque face, as well as his eyes and
mouth. He sports a pair of grey flannel
knickers and cream crocheted stockings.
His green velvet vest and colorful bowtie
give him an air of sophistication.
A male doll from Lapland caught my
eye in the next case. Wrapped entirely in
seal fur, his stiff physique gives us the
impression that he is wearing much more
underneath. His green and yellow flannel
trim, on his waist and sewn up the front of
his fur wrap, tell us of a festive note in the
air. His snow shoes by his side and his
tough skin boots warn us of harsh, cold
weather.
The Far East collection of dolls, range
in color from vivid emerald green to subtle
rose and peach colors. Their dress
consists of short tunic types of jackets
varying in texture and pattern depending
on the statUj of the individual character.
From the jacket to just above the ankle,
some wear a long skirt split open on the
side, very much like the fashion of the
American woman today. On their heads,
often to match the most prominent color in
their costume, they wear what may be
called a skull cap.
This collection is a permanent one and
may be seen year round.Q
Senior show
By LAURIE BRUTON
Staff Writer
Ivey Chadwick's Senior Show is a
clean, highly organized display of his
works as a candidate for a BFA in
Commercial Art.
Perhaps you have seen the Hair poster
on campus on which he collaborated with
Shep Shepard. In full colors of red, yellow
and blue, the two standing nudes vibrate
in repetitive form - the blue and yellow in
the figures interplay and overshadow
themselves as do the forms.
The poster's yellow lettering, advertis-
ing the musical, stands on a red
background. The lettering is thus boldly
pronounced and mechanically works itself
into an easily read pattern.
Another outstanding design is his
commercial submittence of a logo and
exterior design for the shop "Hip
Pocket An intertwined arrow points to
and surrounds a bluejean pocket that is set
off to the right. In a vibrant pattern of
colors and conventional shapes, the
outside painted wall of the shop is relayed
to the public by a simple message.
A rhythmical metamorphosis is set up
to display the growth and evolution of a
logo for the Jello people. Again,
conventional shapes and an arrow are used
to lead the public's eye from J to 0. Vivid
red. yellow and green are used along the
way and when viewed as a whole the colors
of the six representations are seen as
having been juggled.
This show can be seen at the Baptist
Student Center on Tenth St. until March

Defense funds needed
By SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER
My long-term battle for adequate
appropriations for the nation's defense is a
major reason why I deplore President
Nixon's record-breaking $304 billion
budget for the fiscal year 1975.
Increased spending for defense is
desperately needed, not only because the
Vietnamese war depleted many of our
supplies but also because of Russia's
massive military buildup in all phases of
armaments.
But if there is one thing that will cause
the Congress to cut the guts out of the
expenditures earmarked for defense, it is
the deliberate padding of social
engineering projects so near and dear to
the hearts of all anti-Nixon liberals.
The problem would not to nearly as
acute if it could be drummed into the
consciousness of the American people
that defense outlays have decreased from
a high of 43 percent of the national budget
in 1969 to only 29 percent in 1975. During
this same time, the projected spending for
social welfare purposes has gone up from
33 percent to 50 percent of the total
budget.
I am firmly convinced that the
American taxpayer has no conception of
the basic reasom why his payroll
withholding for personal income taxes is
constantly increasing. It is too easy for
one who worries about such things to write
off the blame for large budgets as a
consequence of large military spending.
And he has good reason for this kind of
an attitude. During the whole ruckus over
the so-called military-industrial complex
and it bearing on public spending, no one
in a position of authority in Congress
would consider examining the vast
expansion of money spent on welfare and
social projects. Consequently, those who
worried about high federal spending got in
the habit of assuming that it resulted from
an arms race with the Soviet Union.
During the hearings on waste and
inefficiency in the Pentagon, conducted in
1970-1971 by a Senate committee headed
by Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.), I
repeatedly urged that the inquiry be
expanded to Health, Education and
Welfare. I might just as well have shouted
into a hurricane-force wind.
It will to recalled that last year-tefore
the Watergate scandals blossomed into a
crisis-economy in government was the
watchword, and domestic austerity in the
federal government became the latest
voque in economic circles.
For a time, immediately following the
1972 election, it actually looked as though
an ax wielded by the executive branch
would to laid to the roots of many costly,
useless and overlapping federal programs.
These were frills added to the federal
establishment by liberal politicians
competing for first prize in the category of
"most humane and compassionate" amont
the nation's lawmakers. It was seldom
mentioned that the competition was over
programs financed with taxpayers' money.
However, all the good intentions of the
executive department announced in last
year's budget went down the drain this
year. An Administration whose spokes-
man had ascended to public power by
assailing a literal tendency to try to solve
problems by throwing money at them is
now working from a blueprint which calis
for tne solution of public problems by
throwing money at them.
Consequently we are now given a
Republican budget that calls for an
enlargement of the federal bureaucracy,
new life for programs that last year were
slated for the chopping block and a
substitution of a promise of official
"flexibility" for last year's promise of a
rigid spending "ceiling It could have
extremely grave consequences for the
nation and the entire Free World. The
impact of government spending in a $304
billion project could send our already
inflated prices right through the roof of our
economy.
There are a lot of things wrong in
Washington, D.C. at the present time. But
nothing appears worse than the planning
being made for the national capital's
observance of this country's 200th
anniversary in 1976.
Of all the hundreds of projects being
planned by enthusiastic and patriotic
Americans, the District of Columbia has
won first prize for bad taste and stupidity
in connection with the anniversary
celebration.
It seems that the Bicentennial Center
for the District was dedicated last month
by Washington Mayor Walter Washington,
as a representative of theWhite House and
other dignitaries looked on. Immediately
above the dedication ceremony was a new
mural which was painted for the
bicentennial offaice by a little-known artist
who was commissioned for the job. If it
hadn't been so ludicrous, the mural would
have been an object of humor or at least a
conversation piece. Actually, it was a
disgrace to the occasion and an example
of what can happen in a busy town where
political partisans grind their axes at every
opportunity. .
It seems the mural, which was intended
to illustrate a valid part of the American
scene by drawing our country's first two
centuries together, depicted such great
proponents of democracy as Karl Marx, the
father of communism, Friedrich Enqels,
Marx's associate; Josef Stalin the
bloodiest and most ruthless of all
Communist dictators, and Mao Tse-tung,
leader of the Chinese Communists.
However, the painter didn't confine his
mural to depicting the instigators and
leaders of the most powerful Communist
regimes in the world. He threw in, just for
the heck of it, a caricature of President
Nixon wearing a mnache and dressed
like George Raft in e class B Gangster
movie. Also included was a sketch of
President Nixon's daughter, Tricia Nixon
Cox with an Afro hairdo. And topping off
this'allegedly patriotic American scene
was a picture of Angela Davis. The
painting has been whitewashed and
painted over now-but the problem of bad
judgment remains.
Of course, in Washington we hear a
great deal about freedom of expression
and of how an insensitive government
enjoys tramplins this freedom.
Thus it was not surprising that when
the magazine U.S. News and World Report
demanded an explanation from the OJG.
Bicentennial Commission, it was told that
the Communist figures in the mural were a
valid part of the American scene because
"all were involved in some way with the
United States over the cast 200 years.

To Fountainhead:
In may past editions, the Fountainhead
has carried editorials condemning the
Greenville Police Department for one
incident or another. I have always brushed
these aside, believing that some students
had unfavorable attitudes toward police, in
general, and were trying to make them look
bad in the public's eye. However, now I
am inclined to believe these students after
a brief "encounter" with our "beloved
protectors
Here I stand, on a typically windy night
in Greenville, on the side of Cotanche
Street between two parked cars, trying to
thumb a ride back to "the hill And here
comes one of the infamous blue and white
cruisers. He (the "object" in question)
pulls his status symbol up beside me and
proceeds to ask for some identification.
After handing him my driver's license, he
replies, "Are you aware of what you're
doing wrong?"
I said no. He says somehting to the
effect that I am standing in the "line of
traffic" (in Greenville?) in search of a ride,
when I'm actually standing at least three
feet from where any car could possible
pass. He then proceeds with his scare
tactics: "We usually write people up for
this, (pause)but I guess we'll let you go

we'll take you in and write you up
This is just a little incident, but enough
to spark this writing. Do the Greenville
Police have nothing to do but stop
hitchhikers? Why do they think so many
antagonistic generalizations are created
about them?
Maybe we should import some
professional crooks, murderers and
thieves in order to keep them busy. Or
maybe we should just get rid of the P.D.
(Pig Department?).
A Reader
Concerts
To Fountainhead:
Attention: Popular Entertainment Com-
mitee
It has been brought to the attention of
the Men's Residence Council that there
will be no more popular entertainment
concerts for the remainder of this year. On
behalf of all students, the M.R.C. would
like to voice strong objections and concern
at this decision. A majority of students
can not understand the procedures of the
"people who make the decisions There
has been the feeling that further Pop
concerts will result in a further loss of
money and a deficit toward next year's
budget. Most students feel that as long as
second-rate entertainment packages are
booked on campus in place of top-name
attractions, the Pop Entertainment Conr
mittee should not expect to come out on
top. This pessimistic attitude is unfair to
our student body. A student poll should
be conducted and the Pop Entertainment
Committee should devote all of their
efforts toward obtaining the entertainment
that the students demand. It is highly
unlikely that a student survey would
indicate much interest in a circus as a
major attraction.
Students feel that the restrictions
placed on audiences at our Pop concerts
play a major factor in discouraging many
students to attend, (and probably
discouraging big groups from making the
effort to journey to Greenville). Our
students become disgusted, and disin-
terested when they attend concerts on
other campuses in this state with little, if
any, restrictions and top attractions.
We all know that money is an important
factor in the decision-making process,
however, we also know that our students
pay a great deal of money to the University
and presently, see little return. We realize
that we have raised many questions, with
few answers. Through the Fountainhead,
we invite the Pop Entertainment
Committee to inform all students about
what it's been doing, what its Droblems
are, and its plans for the future.
The popular entertainment situation on
our campus is a great concern to a majority
of our students. We are hoping that some
positive steps can be taken to initiate
changes in next year's policies, and
hopefully, to obtain a top attraction this
Spring.
Thank you,
Men's Residence Council
New club
To Fountainhead:
I wish to announce the newest
organization on campus, the Bureaucrary
Against Ducks and Dogs (hereafter referred
to as BADD).
Anyone who has ever had to lose their
place on the wall in the sun because some
belligerant canine wants some free lunch
should realize the potential value of BADD.
Anyone whose peace of mind has ever
been destroyed by the continuous
quacking issuing forth from Berlinesque
Buildings-cum-coops will rush to swell the
ranks of BADD.
Anyone who has ever had to do the
foxtrot routine across campus in order to
avoid both duck and dog droppings must
rise in righteous wrathful support of
BADD.
BADD's program is simple and could
be easily implemented:
1) Flood Do-Not-Enter Street between
Wright Circle and What Coates Theatre;
construct Venetian Duck Blinds.
2) Run suspension bridges between the
second floors of all buildings and across
Tenth Street.
3) Require radio transmitters on all ducks,
dogs, pigs, bicycles and frisbees in order
to track their movements.
Can't you imagine ECU with a strong
BADD organization on campus?
Can't you imagine yourself as a
BADD-ASS?

Your fees
To Fountainhead:
Having read Bobby Rippy's article in
the forum concerning the Hanneford
Circus, I am now further convinced that
outsiders are truly beginning to reap the
benefits paid for byour fees.
In addition to the Circus bit, there is
another matter that needs to be brought to
the attention of ECU students. This past
Tuesday afternoon, several of my friends
and I were playing tennis on the courts up
on the hill in front of Jones Dorm. We
were interrupted by a young man dressed
in a suit who informed us that we would
have to leave the courts because they were
reserved for that afternoon. We offered no
resistance and we gathered our equipment
and walked off. Upon investigation, we
learned that the Rose High School tennis
team was scheduled to play a tennis match
there. My friends and I, not to mention the
others who were asked to leave, were really
appalled at that information. We could not
believe it. As a result of further inquiry, we
also learned that the City of Greenville
does not allow their own public high
school to play its matches at The Elm
Street Courts; and consequently Rose
High would have to play their entire
schedule on our courts. But yet good ole
gullible ECU lends a helping hand and
allows Rose High to play on her courts
which were constructed by the SGA
supposedly for the students here. Among
P.E. classes, the women's tennis team,
and now Rose High School, it is
impossible for the men and women to play
tennis on the courts on the hill unless we
play at night, but many of us do have to
study you know. If the City of Greenville
doesn't even give a damn about its own
public high school, then why should
ECU? I'm sure the men residents
remember the notice that was slipped
under their dorm room doors a while back
that stated ECU students were forbidden
to enter on the Rose High School
campus. Don't you think the agreement
should be mutual? It is really a crying
shame that a school the size of ECU,
which lacks sufficient recreational
facilities for its own students, lends what
few courts that are available to a high
school team, ignoring completely the
needs and wants of its students. ECU
loans Rose High it track and football
stadium, what more does the high school
want? I suggest that whoever granted
Rose High permission to use our courts
reconsider this decision or maybe next
time we students won't be so cooperative
in leaving the courts when Rose High has

I'm not going to argue with this
explanation further than to point out that if
these individuals were a valid part of the
American scene, it was�and here I should
like to borrow the jargon of today's
youth-a "bummer" of a scene.
True enough, Marx, Engels, Stalin,
Mao and Angela Davis were indeed
involved in some way with the United
States over the past 200 years. So were
John Dillinger, Adolf Hitler, the Boston
Strangles Jack the Ripper and Benito
Mussolini.
Maybe I got the wrong impression, but
I thought this 200th anniversary
celebration was to be in the nature of a
super-duper 4th of July celebration. I still
think I am right, despite what the artist and
whoever hired him seem to think. I believe
the observance should be a time when we
rededicate ourselves to the ideals and
principles of men like Washington,
Jefferson, Ben Franklin, the Adams
family, Abraham Lincoln, and other
individuals in our past who earned the
right to be remembered and to be honored
by a grateful nations.
The list of people who could have
appeared in that mural with much greater
merit is endless. And I am not insisting or
even suggesting that the list should be
limited to former public officials or
statesmen. What would be wrong with
honoring individuals who have contributed
to this nation's greatness, convenience,
comfort and progress? Why not replace
Marx, Mao and so forth with people like
Thomas A Edison, Mark Twain, John
Philip Sousa and Louis Armstrong? And
why not bring it up to date by including
great American astronauts as Edwin E.
(Buzz) Aldrin Jr. and Neil Armstrong?
If this mural was painted as a joke, it
was a lousy attempt at humor-one of the

English department offers new courses
By CAROLYN DAVIS
Staff Writer
The English Department has two new
course offerings this quarter. One,
English 270 The American Frontier taught
by Doug McReynolds, is to become a
permanent addition to the catalog listing
for English courses. The other, English
394 The American Dream taught by Dr.
William Bloodworth, is a special topic
course which is being offered this quarter
only.
McReynolds' American frontier course
is based on an underlying theme rather
than on a particular period of time in
literature as are the majority of English
courses offered.
Designed by McReynolds, the course
offers a look at "the attitudes and
characters of America and Americans
expressed by people involved in the
opening of the frontier he said.
DOUG McREYNOLDS
McReynolds explained that the
westward movement had an effect on
American's consciousness. Some of the
effects can be seen in the literature written
during that time of expansion in reaction
to the movement.
Reactions are found in the myths,
folklore, tales, and heroes of today that
originated from the movement to the
frontier, he continued.
Because the course is centered around
a theme, rather than a literary period, some
of the works read in the course are not of
necessarily high literary quality but do
carry the idea of the times.
Both McReynolds and Dr. Erwin
Hester, chairman of the English
Department, feel this is important for a
thematically structured course. "In a
course with a thematic structure you get to
work on pieces that are not really polished,
but do contribute to the idea Hester said.
"It (the course) requires a good deal of
reading, perhaps more than other 200 level
courses. But it's light reading, not a
textual analysis. It's interesting material.
There may be little cultural significance in
it, but it's just interesting McReynolds
said of the novels and short works he has
chosen for the course.
Some of the works read in the course
are. THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS by
James Fenimore Cooper; THE VIRGINIAN
by Owen Wister; THE OX-BOW INCIDENT
by Walter van Tilburg Clark; and
ROUGHING IT by Mark Twain.
Although The American Frontier will
continued to be offered, this is the only
quarter it will be taught by McReynolds,
who is leaving ECU after summer
school. He will be entering the University
of Denver to begin working for a doctorate
in creative writing.
A special topics seminar, English
394 is being offered only this quarter.
Hester explained that the English
courst list has two course numbers for
special topics which can be used by any
English teacher who desires to teach a
course in a certain subject, or when
enough students request that a special
SGA passes bill
to protect funds
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
A bill which would protect student
funds was passed by the legislature
Monday. This bill will provide for
bi-monthly or monthly payment periods for
those .tudents receiving payment from
SGA funds through the student Fund
Accounting Office.
Payment will be made on the lact
business day of the payment schedule for
work performed during that schedule
rather than the first day of the working
schedule. This bill was created to avoid
paying students for possible unfinished
work.
The legislature also passed a bill to
appropriate $1,300 for the SGA Installation
Banquet. In addition to this amount each
student attending the banquet will be
required to pay $1.50 to help pay for the
expenses of the banquet. Approximately
150 people will attend the banquet,
including 48 student legislators and
distinguished guests.
A resolution concerning self-limiting
hours for Fleming, Jarvis, Greene and
Cotten dormitories was recommitted so
that more research concerning students'
opinions on self-limiting hours in
freshmen dorms and the feasibility of
self-limiting hours in all dorms could be
done.
Speaker of the Legislature, Braxton
Hall, appointed Lee McLaughlin and Terry
Wood as clerks of the legislature.
DR. WlLUfrtgLOODWORTH
course be taught for a subject not included
in the regular listing.
"The advantages of this set-up are two-
fold said Hester. "One, it gives a chance
to try ideas for new courses; and two, it
gives an opportunity to treat an area of
study that really is not necessarily wanted
to be made a permanent course
LITERARY STYLE
The American Dream and Literary Style
in the 1930's is concerned with a look at
the combining forces of history and
literature during the critical period of the
1930's in Americ by studying the response
of American writers of this time.
Here again, some works chosen for
study are not of the finest literary quality,
but do express the responses typical of the
feelings of the thirties.
Bloodworth explained that writers in
the thirities were disturbed by what was
happening to American society as a result
of the depression and were looking for an
alternate form of life.
-The American dream" expressed by
these writers was an effort to make
AmJicTconform to people's expectat.ons
of it Bloodworth said.
Some of the ideas expressed by the
writers studied in the course are
skepticism of American capitalism, a
de-emphasis of individuality and a turning
to collectivism as a better form of society,
and leanings toward communism or
people working as a group to achieve an
end.
The literature studied is not exemplory
of any particular kind of writing style and
is not read for a study of artistic aspects of
the books. "In the thirties there was a
turning away from art for art's sake and
aesthetics to documentaries of the times
and the people explained Bloodworth.
John Steinbeck is the best example of a
writer's attitudes of this time Bloodworth
feels. Steinbeck shows in his works that
the problems of American society are not
so much individual's problems, as basic
problems in society itself.
Two novels of major importance to the
course are Steinbeck's GRAPES OF
WRATH and Henry Roth's CALL IT
SLEEP. Other novels being studied in the
course are: HARD TIMES edited by Studs
Terkel; THE AMERICAN WRITER AND
THE GREAT DEPRESSION edited by
Harvey Swados;JEWS WITHOUT MONEY
by Michael Gold; UNCLE TOM'S
CHILDREN by Richard Wright; and LET
US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN by James
Agee.
The course is being taught "because of jrjjngi or the e
my own bias and interest said
Bloodworth. Bloodworth wrote his doc-
toral thesis on Upton Sinclair, a writer who
had some effect on the thirties. He is
presently completing a book on Sinclair
which will go to the printers at the end of
spring 1974.
Although the book has been accepted
for publication, the date for printing has
not been set.

equirement, we feel that a foreign
anguage is a very important part of a
ollege education, and that those
isciplines now requiring a language
hould continue that requirement
Despite criticism that foreign
anguages are on the wane, the number of
last Carolina students majoring in foreign
languages has gone up considerably this
�ear, an increase seen at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North
Carolina State University as well
"Generally said Perry, "there's a drop
n enrollment from Fall to Winter
luarters. This year we've had an increase
f 15 students in that time
Miss Grace Ellenberg, assistant
rofessor of foreign languages, accented
his optimism.
"We are offering a course spring

LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION
Much of this enthusiasm is
dEN bv James ioparent in the civilization courses - those
:ourses which don't involve grammar,
frilling, or the extensive repetition f und
n the early-level language courses. The
literature in translation" courses are
jxamples - English-language classes
xoviding a basic groundwork in foreign
iteratures. These courses are particular
avorites with English majors.
Why the interest in civilization? Ellen-
Derg's answer was simple.
"People she said, "are interested in
Deople
This interest in other cultures is
Japparent in the high schools as well. Dr.
slicole Aronson, a native of France and an
associate professor of foreign languages,
expressed mixed feelings.
'I visit many high schools she said,
because I am a native speaker, and I talk
A IE � students in tne 'anguages classes
IjF if Bt "I have noticed great enthusiasm
among the students - they ask questions
they have prepared in French, and they
seem to be quite interested
But how does she feel about changing
the entrance requirement? As with the rest x
of the language faculty, her opinion was O
definite. .
"I was very much against it she 3
said. "The reasons for the charge may
have been good, but they were not good m
enough
"I have no statistics on enrollment, no
facts on hand such as Mrs. Perry might
have she said. "But I know what I feel,
and I feel that the dropping of that
requirement was wrong
ENROLLMENT UP
Because the language entrance
requirement was dropped only this year,
possible adverse effects of the change
have not appeared as yet. Enrollment in
foreign languages is up and there is no
anticipation of a dropping of the language
requirement for graduation. While faculty
members are less than happy about the
entrance requirement situation, some
unforeseen benefits may be in sight.
"I deplore the change said Dr. Joseph
Fernandez, professor of foreign lang-
uages. "It's just another blow to the study
of foreign language in general, and I feel
the study of language is important to a
iberal education
�

However, Dr. Fernandez agreed that
making language less mandatory for
college entrance might be beneficial.
"Perhaps students will begin taking
language much as they choose to take
anthropology - as an elective he said,
"and they could get into it tha4 way
In addition, beginning a language in
college might eliminate those bitter
memories of poor high school teaching
that often turn students against a
language.
"Yes said Fernandez, "in one high
school they might have a teacher who took
a few semesters of French, and they'll say,
'All right, you teach French' - not because
he knows so much but because he knows
more than the rest who had none
ACADEMIC CREDIT
A further optimistic point regards
student academic credit. A high school
student taking a language would, under
the new entrance requirement, actually be
doing college-level work. The college
placement test would give full credit for
such work, and would put the student
ahead in terms of college credit. This
might inspire the high school student to
"get ahead" early, and at the same time
satisfy his ego by having a competitive
edge on his peers.
Dr. Fernandez, while against the
decrease in emphasis on language and
humanities, was philosophical.
"There has been a general relaxation of
college requirements nationwide he
said. "The experience in most colleges
has been that there is a decided drop in
language classes, but this generally
bottoms out and the increase begins

now, and starting to increase

Of
Street
Fernandez emphasized the cycle in
language enrollment and interest in the
humanities.
RISE IN INTEREST
"Everything occurs in cycles he
said, "and I believe we're headed for a rise
in interest in the humanities. Language is
essential in particular to business, and
now that more foreign companies are
opening up here, language may prove itself
to be indispensable
At least at East Carolina, no answer
has yet appeared as to the fate of foreign
language study. Most probably, that fate
will be neither the hopeless doom of the
cynics not the massive upsurge promised
by the optimists. Foreign language, being
traditional and highly essential to many
majors - such as music, art, and, to some
degree, business- will simply prevail. The
language faculty is less than happy about
the entrance requirement change, but
realizes that the change is simply
indicative of a turn toward the technical in
the university. No one is quite estatic yet
no wind-down of language study is
expected.
But, just in case, East Carolina's
foreign language department is looking
ahead.
LANGUAGE FESTIVAL
"We're planning a foreign language
festival for our department's 50th
anniversary this year said Perry. "We're
inviting! high school students to set up
exhibits here, and we're having music, a
guitarist recommended by Andres
Segovia
"And the provost has given us
permission to print up a new brochure for
the department of foreign languages and
literatures
DR. JOSEPH FERNANDEZ
Perry was obviously happy about these
developments. Was she recruiting?
"You bet she said, grinning broadly.
Foreign languages, like the rest of the
humanities, have been dealt a blow by
university systems which emphasize the
vocational or have adopted open
admission policies. However, until further
notice, East Carolina's language program
is still very much alive and kicking.

Concerts
Continued from page one.
any trouble booking a group because the groups' promoters have a population
of 300.000 plus to draw audiences from, and therefore they can get more
money and are able to attract more people than we can. We have only a month
at the most to draw up posters and enforce some type of advertising campaign
before concert dates, and then we have only a few people who are going to
come
When the Student Union contracts a group, an arrangement is usually
made wherein the Union gets from 30 percent to 50 percent of the gate profits,
after already paying the group a set sum, usually between $7,500 and
$10,000. This gate percentage is variable, depending upon the set rate the
Union says it will pay. If the proceeds do not override total production cost,
the concert is termed a loss.
The Student Union has no professional promoters working for it, Kennedy
said "We can't offerthem(bands) chauffered limousines, liquor and places to
stay he said. "Professional promoters can be more extravagant because
they're assured they'll get their returns by being able to attract such a large
audience.
It is because of this, Kennedy said, that concerts were scheduled on week
days in the past. "We're really lucky to book a group a month before the
concert date he said, "because that group has probably already been booked
for every weekend in the year. In other words, our Student Union sometimes
has to take a second best
Greenville's placement is anclher factor which bears heavily on the concert
problem. The only commercial airports within an hour's drive are too small to
handle commercial jets, and promoters and agents often think in terms of
accessibility to and from locations. That concert the musicians are about to
perform is usually only one of many in a fortnight of one day stands. Also,
there are no important interstate systems connecting Greenville with other
major population centers adding to the accessibility problem.
The committee which chooses coming concerts is headed by Tona Price,
who was appointed by Kennedy, subject to the Union's Board of
Directors. Price then chose committee members, under the supervisiono f
Kennedy. The Pops Committee then chooses groups they think the students
want to hear.
The committee, Kennedy said, has taken polls in the past as to what
groups students would like to hear, but all of them had met with little success.
No funds are taken from student activity fees to sponsor the Union's
concerts, but rather, proceeds are used from profitable programs to insure
financial impetus But since the Union had been losing money on concerts,
according to Kennedy some $500 will have to be taken from students in the
oncoming year This will give the Pops Committee some $50,000 to work with
next year

By CONNIE HUGHES
Staff Writer
The East Carolina golf team captured
third place honors in the Camp LeJeune
Intercollegiate Golf Invitational last
weekend behind the sudden death play of
All-American Ed Pinnix.
This was the second
tournament for the ECU
finished third behing
UNC-CH. On the final day
Pirate golfers were tied with Appalachian
State University for third place. The top
man from each school vied in a sudden
death play-off. Ed Pinnix did the honors
for ECU by breaking the tie on the first hole
of the play-off.
First-year Coach Bill Cain remarked on
the weekend at Camp LeJeune, "We had a
very good first day. We were in second
place only two strokes out of first
place. However, our second day was
rather disasterous as we dropped from
second place to tie for fifth Then on the
third day we came back strong to finish
third
Scoring for ECU was close. Medalist
Carl Bell shot rounds of 70, 72 and 76 for a
three day total of 218. He was followed
closely by Pinnix who had rounds of 72, 74
and 73 for a total of 219.
In third place for ECU was Tommy
Boone with scores of 77, 75 and 72,

Patton to upgrade cage program
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
He must face NCAA champion N.C.
State in his first game a head coach. He
ieeds to recruit a big man to be
competitive. He must go after that all
mportant fan support. And to add to this
mountain, he must win.
At Georgia Southern College Dave
Patton wasn't a star, he was in his own
words, "A caddy. I brought the ball in and
got it to our shooters But Patton was a
winner as he helped his team to two NAIA
championship tournaments.
Patton's main interest in coaching was
first baseball, but admits "if it bounces, I
love it, I've always been a jock
Full court pressure defense and a high
scoring offense are trademarks of Patton
teams. He explained how he coaches.
"Coaching is done in practice. You
make adjustments in a game. You might
practice a certain thing all week and then
'ou get into a game and your opponent
oes something entirely different. I like to
link I can detect an opponent's weakness
nd how to combat it. In conditioning I
)elieve a player and a basketball should be
inseparable even in running
But Patton believes winning involves
several things, "I'd say 30 percent is a
coaches technical knowledge of a
game. Another 30 percent is motivation
and psychology, getting your people ready
to play. You can have the smartest coach
in the world as far as X's and O's are
soncerned, but if your people aren't going

you, you're not going to accomplish
much. And then your player's talent would
probably be about forty percent
Patton commented on critics who say
ECU needs a "big name coach
"There are a lot of big name coaches in
the game who are not really coaches, just
big names. You never get a name until you
get a chance. I hope to make the best of
this chance and prove to my critics that
they're wrong
Patton remarked on the prospect of
openning against N.C. State and then
facing Duke.
"We're going up there and play hard. I
don't ever like to go into a game thinking
we're going to lose. I don't care if it's the
national champion or the last place team.
I'm going up there thinking we're going to
win. It is a challenge to our players to face
a Thompson or Towe and a great
opportunity for recognition and exper-
ience
Many people have criticized the teams
ECU plays at home, and Patton intends to
change this.
"This is one of the areas we'd like to
improve. We would like to bring better
name people in here to play, establish a
relationship with a couple of other major
schools where we'd play them on a
home-and-home basis to make the
schedule attractive for our students and
fans. I think they deserve this
On joining the ACC Patton says, "First
of all it would help us as far as scheduling
opponents. Everybody wants to play the
ACC and it helps us bring in big name
people. And our recruiting would also
improve.
The support this year of the basketball
program was extremely poor, and Patton
hopes to improve this.
COACH PATTON will concentrate on
recruiting someone to complement the
talents of Larry Hunt.
"First we've got to get the interest built
up in the student body. I hope to speak to
all the student organizations on campus
that will have me to explain our objectives
and invite them to be a part of our
program. The student body is the
university and I want them to think this is
their team also
Patton sees the Southern Conference
as more balanced than ever next
year. Furman has won three of the last
four years and loses only one starter, but
Player of the Year Clyde Mayes returns.
Davidson loses six players but they have a
good recruiting program. William & Mary
had a disappointing year but loses only
one starter, and Richmond only loses Aron
Stewart.
As for East Carolina Patton is realistic.
"There are a couple of things that will
have to happen for us to have a
representative team. First we need help
inside for Larry Hunt. If he fouls out we
don't have anyone to replace him. I feel
like we have the rest of the people to do the
job. We need some luck in being free from
injuries and winning close games. And we
need our players to have a sense of pride in
their team
Patton has varied views of the
conference tournament.
"It's good and bad. I don't think it's fair
in choosing the NCAA representative I
because a team goes all the way through a
season beating everyone and in the
tournament loses, while the best team in
the league goes nowhere. I like the
tournament because it gives your players
an added incentive at the end of the
year. It's according to which end you're
looking at
Recruiting now occupies Coach
Patton's and his assistant George Estes'
full time. The pressure will be
insurmountable as the season draws
closer though, and certainly the entire
nation will be viewing both his and the
Wolfpack's debut in Raleigh.
