Women's
awareness
week action
By DEBBIE BOST
Staff Writer
The need for recognizing women and
their importance in business as well as
society is becoming greater due to the
feminist movements and Women's
Liberation. Many organizations across the
country are joining in establishing certain
important dates each year to salute not
only the famous women in our society, but
the working women, housewives and the
feminists themselves. A greater number
of universities and women's groups across
the country plan different ways in which to
acknowledge women. The University of
North Carolina, Western Carolina
University and ECU are now taking part in
the commendation of women.
During the last two weeks of April, the
women of ECU will have a chance to
participate in the second annual Women's
Awareness Week. Women's Awareness
Week is a campus effort which offers a
variety of activities ranging from forums
concerning the woman's role in business
to craft shows and picnics. Under the
direction of Deans Carolyn A. Fulghum
and Nancy J. Smith, many campus
organizations have planned numerous
activities for the interested women on
campus.
According to Inez Fndley, counselor at
Garrett Hall, an organization in Greenville
is also taking part in the acknowledgement
of women. The League of Women Voters

New president prepares to take office
By RICHARD DROGOS
Staff Writer
April 10. 1974 will be an important day
for Bob Lucas. On that day he will take
over the presidency of the Student
Government Association.
In recent SGA administrations a lack of
open communication with the studeny
body has prevailed and Lucas sees this as
one of the obstacles he, along with his
cabinet officers, will try to overcome
during his tenure in office. Lucas feels the
need to create a "more positive attitude
towards the S.G.A to find out student
interests and to get some evaluations of
the students' feelings He plans to
accomplish this through a student poll and
a president's poll sometime in May.
"The first month in office will be an
orientation" for Lucas and his cabinet. As
Lucas himself puts it "it will be a time for
input and more or less a learning process
"In past years there have been too
many cabinet positions. I plan to eleviate
this by only having four cabinet members
instead of eight. The new cabinet
positions will be the Secretary of Student
Welfare, The Secretary of Academic
Affairs, the Secretary of Minority Affairs
and the Secretary of External Affairs. Un-
der each Cabinet position there will be a
direction and an outlined way to
go
Lucas feels confident that there will
be a lot of interaction between the
president and the cabinet. Although all
the new cabinet offices have not been
filled, there is a new Secretary of
Academic Affairs, Jimmy Honneycutt.
Lucas said that Honneycutt has already
started work and seems to be filling in
BOB LUCAS
nicely. Lucas and Honneycutt has sent off
letters to every school in N.C. for booklets
about their various summer school
programs. They hope to put together a
transfer booklet containing information
about courses students can take in their
hometowns which will be accepted
here. They are also pushing for the new
concept of the free university. This is
designed for those students who have
particular interests and want to have some
type of professional teach them their
hobby. They hope to start this endeavor
by next fall.
Lucas has been looking into the
possibility of establishing Bike Trails for
the school and the town. "We have got to
work closer with the city, both of us (the
school and the town) are looking into it. I
feel it is necessary to pull our resources
together to establish these trails and many
other things Lucas has already received
a full report complete with aerial
photographs of the bike trails at Florida
State University. He plans to examine
other bike trails from other schools and
cities.
He wants to establish a student lobby
which he savs is nothing complicated, but
simply pushes for the student needs. "It is
not an elected or appointed position,
instead it is made up of concerned
students He has plans to ask the North
Carolina Student Legislature to form a
co-op with the other student lobbyers so
student needs can be heard not only here
at school but throughout the state as
well. "I have already had many students
approach me and ask to help. I realize that
we can't change the world but at least our
opinions will be heard He feels that a
student lobby is needed because the
president's schedule is always very busy
and he won't have time to do everything
the students want.
The traffic jam on-Tenth street has
always been a problem for pedestrains and
through many talks with the town
manager, Lucas sees the possibility of an
overpass on this overcrowded intersection.
According to Lucas, the town manager
says it is very possible and it seems to be
the right solution.
With the ever rising prices of beer at the
local establishments downtown, Lucas
would like to see that beer is sold on
campus to help the student dollar
stretch. Concerning the student dollar,
Lucas plans to set up a Student Consumer
Union that has been previously untouched
by the SGA. He plans to provide the
students with consumer information and
open up avenues for student's grievances.
The school's fairly recent transit
system will be used this sumner if
possible, he said. "We are going to
attempt to utilize it during the summer if
the students use it. We will use it more
next year and publicize it better so that
more students can take advantage of it
Lucas stated. Lucas would like to see
shuttlebuses set up on campus because
"all of the students are paying for the
transit system but never really get to use

SGA administration
Bodenhamer reviews accomplishments
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
"I don't know about what the past SGA
administrations have done, but my
administration has done the best we
could. Everything that has come out of my
administration's office has been for the
benefit of all the students at ECU said
lameduck SGA president Bill Bodenhamer
at the SGA legislature meeting Monday.
Bodenhamer summarized the past year
of the SGA as a success by saying "We
have gained more by working with the
administration than we could have by
working against them
He continued by complimenting his
cabinet members for their work in the past
year. Through the office of academic
affairs, "Jim Davis has helped to make the
dropping of foreign language entrance
requirement possible, the process of
dropping courses the first 20 days of the
quarter and gained the respect of the
faculty
"Brooks Bear in the internal affairs
office helped provide the increase of the
student loan fund, the SGA hotline and the
suggestion boxes he continued.
"The minority affair's chairman Maurice
Huntley has established a recruiting
booklet, a minority committee and a
Black Arts Festival

advise for students 16 hours per month

the help of Bob Lucas has established an

Fountainhead
FOUNTAINHEAD ECU'S student
newspaper, has been given a First Class
rating by the Associated Collegiate Press,
with marks of distinction in three areas.
FOUNTAINHEAD was credited with
"well-evaluated" news and "original,
entertaining and informative" feature
material, and received marks of distinction
in the areas of Coverage and Content, and
Writing and Editing. A third mark of
distinction was in the area of Editorial
Leadership, for editorials which "are
relevant and researched and offer viable
alternatives to (the) status quo
establishment of the Model United
Nations
"The refrigerator business has been
brought from a deficit to a profit by Ivey
Peacock he continued.
"In the transportation business which
is my favorite topic, Walter Mann has
established a transportaion system which
helps students get their $2 worth of
transportation fees Bodenhamer explain-
ed.
Bodenhamer offered the following
recommendations for the legislators for
the upcoming year: (1) bicycle routes, (2)
expansion for the legal advice service, (3)
continued support of the ECU playhouse,
(4) no increase in the appropriations to the
publications, (5) increase the student loan
fund by $2,500 making $7,500 available for
student to borrow in loans of $25 per
month, (6) expand the transportation
system from two buses to four buses; one
inter-campus bus, two limited expansion
buses off campus and one backup bus,
and (7) that funds be appropriated by the
legislature for the sponsoring of a
representative to the National Symposium
on the Presidency.
"People say that this year the SGA has administration will achieve the Utopian
been limited because of the personality state of not having personality conflicts "
conflicts that I have created, but no Bodenhamer concluded.
LAMEDUCK SGA PRESIDENT Bill Bodenhamer termed his administration a "success" in
his final speech to the 1973-74 SGA Legislature.
Self-limiting hours possible
By MIKE PARSONS
Staff Writer
Self-limiting hours for ail women
students was the subject of a resolution
passed by the ECU SGA Legislature
Monday.
"I'm all for it. Have been for two
years commented ECU Dean of Women
Carolyn Fulghum. She added that ECU
should remain with the present security
guard system.
Under this system, certain dormitories
have signalling lights which are turned on
when a student desires to enter the
dorm. A campus policeman then
accompanies the girl to her dorm and lets
her in.
"Sometimes girls will turn on the light
and then leave commented Fulgham.
This causes problems for the system to
work smoothly, she explained.
ECU Dean of Student affairs James
Tucker feels self-limiting hours is a matter
of economics. The increased area of
privilege means more security and the
room rents have to finance it, he said.
"Women are more prone to attack
said Tucker in defense of the requirement
for additional security to implement the
program.
Tucker was asked if he felt refusal by
the Board of Trustees corld result in suits
for women's equal rights.
"I've seen decisions by the courts both
ways he said. There have been cases
where courts ruled in favor of the
university if adequate reason was given for
different treatment of students because of
sex, he added.
"I'd be in favor of having the dorms
work as apartments. That way students
would get a key and come and go as they
please commented Tucker. But the
dorms weren't made to be that way, he
added.
A minimum of two more officers are
needed to implement the self-limiting
hours resolution, commented Joe Calder,
chief of security. This would mean an
expenditure of $21,000 for the first year
and $16,000 for each year after that. This
is in addition to the present budget, Calder
explained.
Calder defended the need for additional
expense with observations on the difficulty
of obtaining good security officers. It
takes time to hire them, he said. After that
you have to send them to a five-week
school for proper training, he added. All
that costs money.
The present system is not adequately
manned, Calder commented. He explain-
ed that the present policy of having only
one man stationed at the west end of
campus adds to the difficulty of providing
efficient service.
The resolution will be presented to the
Board of Trustees at their next meeting as
an expression of student requests.
Preregistration is held
0
for summer and fa1
By ANTHONY RAY EVERETTE
Staff Writer
During preregistration week of April 4th
through April 10th, students may register
for 1st or second summer school session,
and for fall quarter. In the students' folder
there will be three IBM cards, according to
Susan McDaniels, summer school provost.
She said that the students wishing to
attend summer school for either of the two
regular sessions may fill out the respective
card for the session you wish to
attend. The regular sessions will be five
and a half weeks long. The first one
begins on June 6th and lasts through July
12th. The second regular term extends
from July 15th through August 20th.
Cliff Moore, Asst. registrar, had
additional information concerning the long
term summer session which begins on
June 17th and lasts through August
9th. He said that is also the registration
day for the first mini term which lasts four
and a half weeks from June 17th through
July 12th. Mr. Moore' s0 tha students
already enrolled in the first regular session
that wish to take a course that's offered
during the first mini term may pick up a
drop-add form and add it to their schedule
on registration day, June 17th. Regis-
tration day for the second regular term and
the 2nd mini-term is on July 15th.
Mrs. McDaniels feels that there is a
definite advantage in enrolling in summer
school. She said "it is the best time for a
student to take a course that he or she has
trouble in She feels that the 3tudents
can devote more time to that particular
course during summer school because the
work load is not as heavy as it is during
regular school sessions. Mrs. McDaniels
also commented briefly on the price of
attending summer school and she says,
"It's a real bargain, especially compared to
the regular expenses For each regular
session of summer school, dorm student
expenses for N.C. residents are
$133.00. For Non-Resident students, it is
$255.00.

What is it?
Pornography and obscenity examined
By PATSY HINTON
Staff Writer
Pornography, pornography, what is
pornography? To a conservative Bible Belt
Baptist, pornography could be the bed
scenes in "The Graduate to a
middle-class white liberal, pornography
may be construed as the nude photos in
Caper, Home Of The E Cup; whereas to a
radical, "hip" college student, porno-
graphy may be nonexistent, an argument
that should be banished to the file of
unimportant, irrevelant Establishment
hand-ups.
Indeed, definitions have been (and still
are) a problem. Words like obscene and
pornographic are hard to pin down,
impossible to exact a meaning from. Mel
Friedman, a Houston attorney, has put the
problem this way: "Legally, the whole
damned thing is madness. The tests for
obscenity are vague, indefinite, a bunch of
nonsense. Describe a prurient (lewd)
interest. Don't give me that bullshit that
it's a shameful, morbid interest in sex and
nudity, because I've heard all that. Tell me
what a shameful, morbid interest in sex
is
Friedman claims that district attor-
neys, federal attorneys, psychologists,
and police officers have not been able to
answer the question. "If they don't know, I
don't know, and no one knows, then how
in the hell can you have a law about it?"
Strong words, but Friedman has hit at
the mix of the porno issue, a debate still
alive and well decade after weary
decade. To some people, the new
permissiveness in allowing sex to flourish
in literature and films is a step toward a
freer, healthier, less violent society. To
others, sexual expression is a sign of a
society in decay, another facet of
destruction aligned with crime, social
turmoil, and anti-authority politics. Many
people view porno as the tip of an
iceberg. The larger, not so easily seen
issue is censorship .Can our society be
one in which people are free to read what
they want, write what they want, say what
they want?
Many would-be supressors of sexually-
oriented material cite the detrimental
psychological effects of "porno" as being
the main reason for its proposed complete
and immediate removal. These people
believe that there is a direct relationship
between crime and porno. Indeed, this is a
common belief. Everyone, to an extent,
pictures the typical sex pervert drooling
over his girlie magazines as he takes a
break from raping. However, there is a
growing body (no pun intended) of
evidence that shows there is really little
jusitification for restricting erotic material
to adults.
A study conducted by Dr. James
Howard at the UNC School of Medicine a
couple of years ago supports this
point. Twenty-three subjects, twenty-one
to twenty-three years old, and
representatiave of the student body, were
exposed to stag movies, photographs,
pictorial magazines, and erotic novels,
plus nonpornographic, or straight
materials, ninety minutes a day for three
weeks. They were free to use the time as
they wished. At the outset of the study, all
subjects said they were intersted in seeing
porno. Nine weeks after the experiment's
end, they were bored by the thought of
porno, and a number said they had refused
private opportunities to view it.
No lasting, major effects on attitudes
or behavior were found either. In addition
to psychiatric interviews, the students had
a daily questionnaire and a daily
psychological test to determine if the
erotic experiment was affecting their work
and study habits, their personal, social or
sexual lives. "We were surprised to find
that it had virtually no effects said Dr.
Howard.
If porno has no detrimental effects, is it
possible that it can be aesthetic, even
(dare I say it?) educational? Yes, says Dr.
Michael J. Goldstein of UCLA. "A little
pornography may be a good thing. A
reasonable exposure, especially during
adolescence, reflects sexual interest and
curiosity. On the other hand, low
exposure reflects either avoidance of
heterosexual stimuli or development in an
extremely restrictive atmosphere.
Dr. Thomas E. Long, here at ECU, says
on the subject: "During adolescence most
young males will show an interest in some
kind of pornographic material. When I was
in high school, GOD'S LITTLE ACRE was
the forbidden book of the time. We all
read it. Apparently strong restrictions and
sanctions against pornography enhance
its interest value
Mel Friedman, the fiery Houston
lawyer, believes there is "a tremendous
amount of redeeming social value' in
satisfying curiousity, and in court,
Friedman has argued thus: "If one could
find a book or a movie that really was
obscene, and finally adjudged to be
obscene, that, at that time, the material

would have redeeming social value
because the whole country would finally
know what is obscene. Thus the definition
of obscenity, that material would no longer
be obscene - it would have redeeming
social value A vicious cycle type of
definition, and one as perplexing as the
iQcnp it rnnrprns
Locally, Irving Ertis, manager of
Central News here in Greenville, is a
dogmatic defender of the "social value" or
such magazines as Playboy, Playgirl, Viva,
and Oui, all of which are prominently
displayed on his counters. "If I think
something is obscene, I don't carry it he
says shortly. "Anything we sell does have
some social redeeming value
"Do you think Joy of Sex is
obscene?" he testily continues. "All of
the doctors on the Board of Health here in
Greenville carry it In a store which
sports such ! xks as Sex Spy directly
opposite the works of Dickens and on the
same shelf as THE MAKING OF THE
PRESIDENT, Ertis concludes, "The BIBLE
is still my number one best-seller
What sort of person reads erotic
magazines andor books? "There isn't any
single class of people that consume
pornography says Dr. Long, ECU
professor. According to the guys at the
check-out counter in The Happy Store,
most of the dirty paperback books go to
older man, about in the thirty to forty-five
age group. College students tend to buy
Playboy, Playgirl, Viva, Penthouse, etc
"intellectual dirty magazines
At Central News, a little better than
fifty percent of the people buying "girlie"
magazines are students. An interes'ing
face has recently been unveiled as to who
does not consume porno. According to
Medical World News, sexual deviants may,
in fact, have had less exposure to
erotically stimulating material in adols-
cence and adulthood than the average man
on the street. Another blow has been
struck on our image of the sex pervert
drooling over his pictures of naked ladies.
What is the real value of pornography,
if there is any? The answers are as varied
as the weather. Al Goldstein, editor of
Screw magazine, says: "Pornography is
horrendously bad, not for moral reasons
but because of the tedium. I hate to go to
sex films, I hate my film review column
because I go in hating the film. It"s
unrealistic presentation of sex. Porno-
graphy doesn't reaffirm the reality of
sex. It's fake, hypocritical, and mostly
dishonest Ironical words, considering
his line of business.
ECU'S Dr. Long chimes in along the
same line, attacking Playboy specifically.
"Pornography is a vicarious sexual
substitute, not the real thing. As our
ability of direct sexual expression
develops, we have less need for vicarious
or substitute sexual satisfactions. Play-
boy, in effect, is anti-sex. Sexuality takes
on its fullest meaning in the intimate,
interpersonal relationship. In general, the
Playboy type of pornography is not very
realistic, and certainly doesn't have
anything to do with a personal
realtionship. This is a plastic, unreal type
of sex which tends to dehumanize and
avoid intimacy. And so, once again, we
escape true contact with an important part
of our humanity
Although some may label such
magazines as "plastic "fake and
"dishonest facts are vailable showing
that porno, or rather erotic movies,
magazines, and books are enjoying an
unprecedented success.
The manager of The Happy Store on
Fifth Street attests to the appeal of
pornography here in Greenville. "For the
first year and a half, we put in family books
and classics They didn't sell. Then we
switched over to what could be called
erotic magazines and now we are making a
profit
Another indication of the potent
popularity of pornography is found in the
new breed of women's skin magazines,
meant to appeal, of course, to women, a

'Live Rhymin' '
"Paul Simon in Concert"
Columbia PC32855
By BRANDON USE
Staff Writer
"Live Rhymin' ? jS 0ne of the finest
live albums I have ever heard by any artist.
The 45 minute album was recorded
extremely well, and the versions of all the
songs are excellent. There are no missing
parts to the songs as there are in many live
concerts.
This album came from the short but
extremely successful Paul Simon tour of
last year. Joining Simon were the soul
group, "Jessy Dixon Singers and the
Souti American group "Urubamba" who
Simon first met in 1965.
The first side begins with "Me and Julio
Down by the School Yard then carries on
with Simon solos "Homeward Bound and
"American Tune Next comes "El Condor
Pasa and "Duncan the South American
band, "Urubamba combines their unique
instruments beautifully with Simon's
guitar, but the highlight of the side is "The
Boxer the story of a man broken in body
but not in spirit. "The Boxer comes
through very well, almost bringing the
listener to the stage and making him one in
spirit with "The Boxer
Side two begins with "Mother and
Child Reunion" which features the "Jessy
Dixon Singers" that Simon first saw a few
years ago at the Newport Jazz
Festival. Then there is a quick entrance
into the classic "Sound of Silence done
in a more soulful and slow manner, but
equally and possibly more beautiful than
the original. There is a fine solo by a
member of the Jessy Dixon Singers in this
song that adds immeasurably to the
quality of the piece. The third song is a
gospel number "Jesus is the Answer" done
by the Jessy Dixon Singers. Next is
"Bridge Over Troubled Waters which
even though it is minus Art Garfunkel,
does not lack anything. The Jessy Dixon
Singers do another fantastic job backing
Simon especially in the "Sail on
Silverbird verse. After a great version
of the 1973 Simon smash "Love's Me Like a
Rock Simon mournfully signs off with
"America
"Live Rhymin' " is an album to hear at
all costs. The only sad thing is that there
is not another two hours of it. Probably
one of the finest albums that will come out
in 1974, buy, beg, borrow, or steal it, but
get it.
This album graciously supplied by
Rock 'n Soul.

Chick Corea and Gary Burton

ByDENISEWARD
Staff Writer
Previously, we have seen on the jazz
horizon, this man of the space sound but
not before so clean and fresh as on
"Crystal Silence
Chick Corea, artist extrordinare in the
jazz field, comes across as the artist he
always is, travelling above us all with
yllll ??!???!? U UHIM U
music touching the outer limits of space.
Chick Corea and Gary Burton are the
only two performers on the album. Their
experience in the jazz field can be found
circulated in with such artists as Herbie
Mann and Miles Daivs.
The album was recorded in Oslo, in
November, 1972, and re-released on the
Polydor label.
These two jazz men play some of Chick
Corea's finest works. 'Senior Mouse' and
'Children's Song both appear on the
"Hymn to the Seventh Galaxy" LP. Corea
and Burton also recorded other "space
pieces" written by Chick Corea on the
"Crystal Silence" album. 'Desert Air gives
the listener a light galaxic feeling,
something quite free and lofty. The other
piece entitled 'Crystal Silence is
mellow, deep and resounding. Gary
Burton puts a light touch to the piece,
making it all the more the work of two
master musicians. It flows like waves on a
still sea in a sunset evening and is more
inclined to entice the listener to buy this
album than the other cuts.
This album like others, is proof of a
change the music world is presently going
through. The trend is gradually getting
back to jazz and leaving the rock trail to
unchangable artists. Not blues and and
"John Coltrane" sound, but that of space
jazz, a new concept in music.
Those who listen to "Crystal Silence"
understand it more and obviously like it for
the style it follows.
The album, "Crystal Silence is one of
many now touching us, showing sound
and space - in harmony.
'Hard Labor'
Three Dog Night
Dunhill DSD50168
By JOHN EVANS
Staff Writer
Back in 1968, after the release of the
first album by a new group named Three
Dog Night, the telephone rang in the office
of an ABC-Dunhill executive. On the line
was a disc jockey from an Oregon radio
station. The dee-jay was inquiring about a
cut on the album entitled 'One
Although the cut had not yet been
released as a single, it had been greatly
requested for play on stations throughout
the nation. Taking the cue, the song was
released as the group's next 45 and the
astronomical future of Three Dog Night
was on its way. Even today, the cut ranks
as the group's largest selling single.
Now, six year later, the group is
pratically unmatched in the popularity it
possesses from the recording and concert
world. The group's success spans the
entire world, as the group time and again
puts out superb recordings. The group's
new LP "Hard Labor" is no exception.
"Hard Labor" is the group's first concept
album, with their new single 'The Show
Must Go On' as the central thread uniting
the cuts into one. The group's version of
'The Show Must Go On which was
originally penned and recorded by English
pop star Leo Sayer, is as wailing, poetic,
and moving as any song one can hope to
find.
The elaborately packaged LP contains
several top-notch cuts and successfully
gets across the group's theme that hard
work pays off and that they must improve
with each recording. The results of this
effort are a fine mixture of the group's
talents. This mixture ranges from slow,
moving ballads such as 'Anytime Babe' to
the rocking sound of 'Sure As I'm Sittin'
Here
The three lead singers: Danny Hutton,
Cory Wells, and Chuck Negron are all
master vocalists and once again they
perform superbly as they trade off the
leads on each song. Harmonies produced
from the band are tight and near-perfect on
every cut. Floyd Sneed on drums and
Jimmy Greenspoon on the keyboards
stand out with their instrumental
performances on this album.
"Hard Labor" is the group's tenth
album since their first one was released in
October of 1968. Everyone of the albums
have been a million seller, as well as nine
singles which came from these
albums. This newest album could very
easily surpass every one of the preceding
collections from the group. It is the best
overall collection since "Golden Bisquits"
was released and is the best selection of
new material the group has ever released.
What makes "Hard Labor" such a rich
effort is the combination of the old,
identifiable group sound with the new
up-tempo beat that they have always
possessed but which is brought out on
this LP more than ever before. There is not
a poor recording on the entire album and
each tune blends nicely with the
others. The best tunes are 'I'd Be So
Happy and 'Put Out The Light Every cut
possesses a different facet of the group's
talent and results in an excellent group
sampling.
The group's last album, "Cyan" was
somewhat disappointing and this may hurt
the album's initial popularity, but with
word of mouth, this album should steadily
evolve into the group's biggest production
yet. It contains every ingredient of earlier
successes and more. The greatest point to
be made with "Hard Labor" is that the
group has rebounded from a relatively
weak album with a super package, this is
what makes the group so great. They have
sought to improve themselves and their
already superb performances. They have
suceeded in this endeavor with "Hard

Black theatre movement
PI ay write Ed Bui I ins lectures on campus iV
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
What makes Playwright Ed Bullins
unique in his craft? The playwright-
novelist, who lectured on campus last
Thursday on the future of the Black
Theater Movement, permeates the
revolutionary flow of theatrical ism through
the veins of victims, feverish with want of
new entertainment.
Ed Bullins was one of the first black
playwrights to shun traditional theatrical
culturalism for realism and to introduce
into the black theater an array of
characters depicting lowly life styles
which had tactfully been tucked away into
the subconsciousness of the average
elitist theatergoer. April's edition of Black
World, 1974, (upon whose covers Bullins
graced) had this to say; "Rather than any
rules of dramatic unity and structure, it is
the knowledge of his people, his audience,
and an unerring understanding of what will
and will not work on a stage that directs
the Bullins craft
It was not a popular thing to do six
years ago - to frequently use four letter
words, and to portray life among pimps,
prostitutes and punks. Black artists, like
Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Amiri
Baraka (Le Roi Jones), used to address
political and social issues. Literature
changed from a social to a dialectical
nature among blacks, thus catering to
black audiences and experiences.
But the revolutionary Black Theater did
not simply emerge and gain audience
support without a spontaneous triggering
of events. The trigger which supplied the
catalyst was, unfortunately, the one pulled
which ended the life of Dr. Martin Luther
King. Bullins cited the nite of April 4,
1968, as the true origin of the Black
Theater Movement. Revolutionary
thoughts or ideas which until then had
been low-keyed suddenly surged forward
and organizations and events flourished
which supplied playwrights, writers, and
other artists with food for the stage.
For the last ten years the Black
Theater has dealt with survival in a hostile
world and with the concern of blacks being
bound together by experience. Bullins
estimated more than seventy such theaters
to be in existence across America. "The
Black Theater is serious. Entertaining is
not in.the upper most reaching of their
Poet China Clark stirs
audience enthusiasm
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
China Clark, poet and author of "Brown
Sugar "rapped" from selections of her
poetry to a small, but attentive audience
on campus last Wednesday.
When Ms. Clark spoke about "The Neo
Black Woman ripples of her sensuality
inseminated her audience and moved them
to applaud thunderously. But she kindly
asked them to reserve such enthusiasm
until she had completed her readings.
China described her poems as
"sensitive She did not want the
competition of one poem to narrow the
perspectives of her others.
It then became apparent that the
metaphoric philosophy of her poetry
extended into her daily language and life
style. "I have to be motivated by a strong
feeling (to write) whether it is happy or
melancholic She lowered her head,
pucKered her face and assumed the
identity of her best friend, Brown Sugar,
for the reading of her poetry.
Much of her work deals with sensuality
and romanticism - her helpless state of
despair between love for her man and
disgust for his treatment of her. Other
poems tend to philosophize: "The only
cardinal sin is suicide of the spirit. Hitler
is not dead. He killed six million
Jews. We do not know their names. Yet
he lives in our mind When asked about
the style of her poetry, Ms. Clark
replied: "I don't deal with meter or tempo
- don't know anything about that. I deal
with feelings and experiences
Poems like "Sapphires" elevate the
strength and the pride of the black
matriarchal figure. (Sappire was the wife
of King Fish on the antiquated "Amos 'n
Andy" television series.) The supremacy
of womanhood seem inherent in lines
like: "Julius Caesar was a fagot until he
met me The reference to black
womanhood is much like Nikki Giovanni's
"Ego Tripping
Ms. Clark separates her poetry from
that of Nikki Giovanni. However, Ms.
Giovanni is one of her sources of
inspiration. Nikkik says China Clark, had
the courage to get up and to share her
feelings. The writings of Langston
Hughes were probably the greatest
influence on her poetic career. Playwright
Ed Bullins was also a powerful motivating
force who encouraged her to develop her
lifprarv talents.

Ms. Clark attended Columbia Univer-

direct sponsorship of the Drama

ED BULLINS
striving
Bullins hman writing plays in San
Francisco in 1965. He recalled that at that
time only three or four Black Theaters
existed - none of them in San
Francisco. "Two or three of them had not
decided if they were black or not Bullins
showed his plays, but no one recognized
or encouraged him to continue to
write. Thus, Bullins and six young
playwrights sprung the Black Theater
Movement.
He characterized the attempts of
contemporary black writers as honesty and
as a turning away from addressing black
writing to traditional elitists. Worthy
subject matter for these writers included
the Civil Rights Movements, Black
Militancy and student revolutionaries.
Bullins and other contemporary black
playwrights gave their plays in ghettoes,
barrooms, pool halls, churches, schools
and community centers. Their audiences
were comprised of pimps, prostitutes and
drug addicts who could relate to the plays.
The night of the Watts, California riots
was the opening night of three of Ed
Bullins plays. "How do you do "The

response was quite good, and the results
will be printed at a later date. The tea will
be held in honor of the outstanding
women, and the department heads will be
invited to attend the event.
ECU will be scheduling its second
Women's Awareness Week for the last two
weeks of April. Many organizations have
already planned numerous activities for all
who are interested, and there should be
more events now being planned. Some of
the times may be scheduled at a later date,
but the exact times of the events will be
posted.
Coastal planning bill discussed
By KATHY KOONCE
Staff Writer
The coastal planning bill involving the
Outer Banks was the topic of discussion at
a recent meeting of the Young Democrats
Club on March 20. Dr. Mike O'Conner,
geology professor, and Dr. Vincent Bel I is,
biology professor, presented a discussion
and a film informing the Young Democrats
about the situation of the Outer Banks.
The film was made by O'Conner and Dr.
Stanley Riggs of the geology department.
They have been working on a five year
grant investigating the Outer Banks. The
film was produced in the Nags Head area
with the bulk of it made in February 1973
after the big snowstorm. A highlight of
the film showed Highway 12 which has
been covered by sand within the last five
years.
O'Conner noted some differences in
land-use policy of the United States and
Europe. "In many parts of Europe the land
has been utilized to its fullest possible
extent. Many countries have a land-use
policy. "Ine distribution of land-uses is
dictated by general economy of a
country. The United States has not
reached this point. They could always go
somewhere else he said.
O'Conner pointed out two reasons the
North Carolina Outer Banks are late in
developing. "First, people have always
been able to find other areas. Second, the
present affluence of America enables us to
build on the Outer Banks Also, most
people have faith that someone will come
in to remedy the situation if a disaster
occurred.
According to Dr. O'Conner the bill is
presently faltering. "There is a question of
man's right to his property and it's weak as

far as enforcement Some think the bill
hould lie at the state level. "If North
Carolina is going to profit from mistakes of
other coastal areas, it should follow
through with the bill
O'Conner indicated that the bill would
work if it was passed in advance. "The
Outer Banks are shifting. It is difficult to
refer to a specific piece of land he added.
Erosion on the Outer Banks will
continue on a large scale, according to
O'Conner. The retreat can be slowed down
but not completely stopped. OConner
said that "beach nourishment" (pumping
the sand back on the the beach) was not
practical.
The main problem with the Coastal
Zone Management Bill is that people are
not aware of its purpose. "If a person is
aware of the hazards of an area rs will be
less apt to purchase a spot OConner
emphasized that "when people fully
understand the problem then they
generally will make the right decisions

EditorialsCommentary
Thinking again
Just the act of living can be rather fragile, and we rarely realize it.
My once-yearly realization came just this past week After working ourselves into the
usual pressed-upon isolation, several friends and I got reacquainted, talking about
people and problems. I hadn't realized how much had happened to other people in the
weeks since we'd last talked. Things move fast.
Later that evening, I stopped at one of our local grocery places to buy some wheat
bread Something wasn't right - a plainclothesman was questioning an employee; it
looked like the guy was in trouble. The unreality of it all struck me - me and my
ridiculous loaf of bread, the policeman, the bright store lights, the other people. It was
completfly surreal and awfu and I imagine we all felt, "If this person, in so mundane a
place as this, is in trouble, I could easily be in his place
Back home at 2 a.m I'd just sat down when there was a screech of brakes and the
unmistakable whump of two cars colliding Two police cars went by complete with eerie
air raid siren and blue lights.
All of which, however unrelated, made me think; sitting securely in that room, with a
maybe-arrest and a perhaps-serious accident outside: it's all very fragile, isn't
it9 Self-images and plans don't really mean a great deal. In four years you can burn out
early, get busted, quit and leave, run out of money, graduate and build houses or
suddenly decide - as most of us do around the third year - that it's not really worth it.
I tend to be amused by people who have their lives mapped out: "After I'graduate I'll
get my master's and then my doctorate and then I'll (fill in goal) You never know,
kid. When I was in a New York elementary school, I "planned" to go to Hunter College
andor study chemistry. North Carolina didn't exist. When I was an ECU freshman in
commercial art, I planned to redesign packages and make money. Eighteen months later
I was in political science.
About the best you can do is plan yourself the way you make New Year's resolutions,
leaving space for maybes. The process of living doesn't work like pre-registration. When
the act of just walking across a street has half a dozen options (you could fall, get hit by a
car, get hit by a bicycle, or stub your toe), surely living itself has more. There's no real
solution, and I'm not encouraging people to waft about aimlessly like dead leaves. The
point is simple that you can't trust plans - simple as it sounds, I've met so many people
who haven't hit on this yet, and who are determined to stretch themselves onto a
Procrustean bed of Five-Year Plans, Regardless.
Thinking about your own fragility can supply some of the objectivity we've asked for
so often in these editorials. The most you can really do is leave spave around what you
plan to do.

Watergate optimism
ii'm' tuniiM
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - President Nixon
not only is keeping a stiff upper lip through
his Watergate ordeal, but he is now
beaming with optimism. My White House
sources say he is convinced the worst is
over and he is now beginning the upward
climb.
As he has explained it to aides, he
believes the case against him has now
been presented in the worst possible
light Hereafter, his side of the story will
start receiving national attention.
The President is cheered by
encouraging reports from local party
leaders about his recent TV appearances.
He is planning a whole series of speeches
and question-answer sessions to lay his
case before ti nation.
He will combine these with other
activities to dramatize that, despite
Watergate, he is stil governing the
nation. As a climax, he hopes to hold a
triumphant summit conference with Sovier
leader Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow.
The President still believes the House
may impeach him, but he is convinced the
Senate won't convict him by the necessary
two-thirds vote. My sources say he is
positively enthusiastic over his prospects
of remaining in office until the end of his
term.
There is only one drawback. His
optimism is matched by deepening
pessimism inside the Republican
hierarchy. An increasing number of party
leaders simply disagree with his
assessment.
Meanwhile, up and down the country,
Republicans are running for cover from
President Nixon. They don't want to get
caught in the Watergate crossfire which,
they believe, has mortally wounded
him. The charge that he owes $476,431 in
avoided taxes may be the final bomb-burst
that will destroy him politically.
But the President is still fighting from
his political bomb shelter in the White
House. He is eager to prove to the party
that he isn't a political liability. He has
asked aides to try to persuade Republican
congressional candidates to invite him to
campaign for them.
At the President's prodding, White
House counselor Dean Burch and
Republican national chairman George
Bush flew out to Michigan and put quiet
pressure on the state chairman, William
McLaughlin, to invite the President to
Michigan to campaign for James Sparling
in a special congressional election.
My sources say McLaughlin warned the
White House representatives that a
presidential visit would hurt more than it
would help Sparling's chances. McLaugh-
lin reportedly argued that the President,
himself, would be better off staying
away. Otherwise, he would be blamed in
case Sparling was defeated.
But Burch and Bush were insistent,
and Sparling finally agreed to invite Nixon
to Michigan. The President's press
spokesman, Gerald Warren, immediately
announced that the initiative for the
invitation had come from Michigan not
Washington and that the President would
seriously consider a Michigan visit.
But like so many other things the White
House says, Warren's statement wasn't
entirely true.
Probe Drags On: The House Judiciary
Committee has imposed the tightest
m
possible security on its impeachment
inquiry. Guards with walkie-talkies guard
all the approaches to the offices, where
investigators are sifting through the
impeachment evidence. The hallways and
fire escapes are closed off. Visitors can
reach the offices only by elevator, whose
doors are closely guarded.
Yet behind all this secrecy, I can report
that the 100 attorneys, investigators,
clerks and secretaries still can't find useful
work to occupy their time. Only a dozen
hard-core lawyers are trusted, apparently,
to go through the secret evidence. Some
of the secretaries fill their spare time by
clipping newspaper articles for their
bosses' scrapbooks.
The investigators have gone ahead with
informal interviews with some Watergate
figures such as dirty trickster Donald
Segretti and Nixon campaign aide Hugh
Sloan. But the taking of sworn
depositions has been suspended, while
the committee tries to make up its mind
whether to let the President't attorney,
James St. Clair, cross-examine witnesses.
The slow progress behind the guarded
doors almost certainly means that the
impeachment inquiry will drag on into the
summer.
Henry and the Hill: Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger is famous for his
diplomatic detents in Peking, Moscow and
the Middle East. What has gone largely
unnoticed, however, is his political
detente right here in Washington.
Kissinger has succeeded where
President Nixon has failed in establishing
good relations on Capitol Hill. He is
constantly giving congressional leaders
closed-door briefings. He has also gone
out of his way to appease congressional
potentates in other ways.
Kissinger has 25 employes who do
nothing but handle congressional requests
and complaints. Over the pagt 12 months,
they have answered more than 19,000
letters and 200,000 phone calls from
Capitol Hill. Each congressional letter is
logged in and out, and the responsible
bureaucrat is allowed no more than three
days to prepare a reply.
The State Department is also burdened
with the task of arranging overseas trips
for junketing congressmen. One official
complaint that embassy personnel don't
have time for their diplomatic duties
because they are too busy carrying
luggage and conducting sightseeing tours.
So many junketeers are tramping
through Taiwan, for example, that the U.S.
ambassador there felt compelled to protest
to the home office. His classified cable
read, "This influx of visitors .is
straining Embassy resources to the full
Discouraging Word: Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger brought back discourag-
ing news from Moscow. He urged the
Soviets not to interfere with his peace
efforts in the Middle East until he can
arrange a Syrian-Israeli disengagement.
He received no such assurance.
He knew from intelligence reports that
the Soviets had been quietly goading the
Syrians to stand up to him. Apparently,
the Kremlin fears that Kissinger is
squeezing the Soviets out of any Middle
East settlement.
According to the intelligence reports,
Soviet diplomats had encouraged the
Syrians not to attend the peace talks in
Washington. The Kremlin strategy, ap-
parently, was to force Kissinger to include
the Soviets in the peace negotiations.

To Fountainhead:
Recently, there have been a few drug
busts here on our lovely campus. One of
these busts involved a very good friend of
mine. This young man was arrested for
"manufacture of marijuana" and placed in
Greenville's plush county jail under
$2500.00 bail. Some of his friends
collected enough money ($375.00) to pose
bond. I should explain that he is charged
with a felony, and without a lawyer could
get up to five years and $5000.00 as a
penalty. His parents have agreed to pay
the lawyer's fee on the condition that he
will live at home with them and get a
steady job in a cotton mill for four
years. Understandably, he does not want
to do this but it may be his onl
choice. The lawyer who will represent hinr
is asking $1000.00 to take the case.
The purpose of this letter is to raise
money to help this young man pay for his
lawyer so that he will not be forced into
being obligated to his parents. Hopefully,
many of you will be sympathetic to his
cause. If each person who reads this letter
would send one dollar for his support the
money would be raised in time to pay the
lawyer before the hearing. Who knows,
you may even feel better for doing
something to help someone who is in a lot
of trouble. This money is not tax
deductable and will not be paid back; so
please only send money if it can be
afforded.

BADD?
To Fountainhead:
This letter is in reply to one written in
the Forum concerning N.L. Battle's new
club, appropriated named as BADDThe
Bureaucracy Against Ducks and Dogs).
As the self-designated chairman and
expounder of potential values of BADD,
my friend Nan wished to "find her place in
the sun" at the expense of "belligerent
canines wanting some free lunch How-
ever, there is a pardox here. I'm not so
sure the belligerence is exercised entirely
by the animals (dogs, cats, ducks, etc.) on
campus. Certainly, they, as can be said
for nearly all animals, demonstrate a
particular, instinctive belligerence; but we
can't blame them because they aren't
intelligent like the BADD people who have
refined their belligerence

horror of living. Once they get collared,
there is no place in the sun for them and no

Of course, the best solution would be
the populat one of forming another
faction; let's say DDAB(Ducks, Dogs AND

and go after each other. Gas chambers are
easily constructed, so we wouldn't have to
spend much time with such frivolus
necessities. We could get down to the real

time (the half you've having trouble with,
Nan). There is abundant room for us at
any stratum; people, ducks, dogs and
even dogcatchers and BADD-ASSES.

Response
To Fountainhead:
I was very upset when I read a couple of
columns in the March 28 edition of your
newspaper.
The first one was reading an article
under the Forum about one of ECU'S
student's run in with the Greenville
"P.D.(Pig Department?) The Greenville
policemen do have a duty to uphold and if
"A Reader" had the right state of mind he
should understand this. "A Reader"
sounds like a psychology major. Anyone
who would think that a city should import
crooks and murderers to keep the
policemen busy is mentally deranged and I
feel he (or she) needs help instead of the
police department.
The second column I read concersn no
more concerts for ECU. Gibert Kennedy
did an excellent job in explaining the
reasons for no concerts. I have been at
ECU three years and from my freshman
year I thought the situation for concerts
would get better but instead they haven a
hundred percent downfall. I hope that the
Pop Committee can get on the ball and do
something constructive. It gets a little bad
when you have todrive wo to three hours to
see a well known group. I really don't
understand how Elon College and ASU can
get the big groups for their geographical
location and we can't. I guess it's better to
have no more concerts at all than wasting
money on no name groups. The Men's
Residence Council have my support for
their letter written to the Forum.

Performance
To Fountainhead:
On Thursday evening. March 28, I
attended a performance of the Bernstein
MASS, and what I experienced was not
exactly what I had expected No, I am not
referring to the performance, which was
exi i'Ilent, but rather, I am referring to the
gross conduct, or snouid I say
misconduct, of students sitting near me.
At the beginning of the performance, I
was appalled by the fact that several
students continued to talk, disturbing me
and others around me, who would have
preferred to hear the opening Kyrie instead
of their loud voices. When the celebrant
entered on the stage and began to sing,
the talking continued until I had to ask
them to be quiet, which they did. At this
point, the beginning of the performance
had been spoiled by these rude, crass
people, but I was ready to settle down and
enjoy the rest of the evening. Needless to
say, this didn't happen. About halfway
throught he performance these people
decided to leave, thus causing my
husband and I to stand up and let them
out, which disturbed everyone around
us. I was a little disturbed by this action,
but from their previous behavior, certainly
not shocked. Thinking that all the
disturbance was over, I settled down once
again. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Two
students in the row in front of us began to
chatter and then they too, got up to
leave. (I imagine the chatter was a
discussion as to leave or not). Now that
three-fourths of the performance was over,
another student crawled over me to
leave. I was ready to tell him exactly what I
thought, however, this not being hte time
or place, I stood up and let him out.
I would like to know why these
students acted in such a manner. As many
articles that have been written about the
MASS, and the fact that it has appeared on
television should have sufficient enough
evidence for them to have found out what
they would be seeing, but apparently, they
did not bother. Now, I would just like to
say thank you to these rude people for
spoiling what would have been a most
enjoyable evening.
In spite of this, I wish to congratulate
the Drama Department and the School of
Music for doing an outstanding job in
bringing this production to the
community.

Re: Greenville's Monumental Crisis
Is there racial discrimination in
Greenville? Are blacks viewed as equal in
the eyes of the law? Are minorities treated
fairly in our local court rooms? Initially
these questions might appear highly
debatible. Fortunately the city of
Greenville has made a courageous (literally
monumental) effort to clarify the
matter. The racial disposition of Green-
ville is quite appropriately voiced on the
lawn of the Pitt County Court House; the
symbol of freedom, justice and equality in
Greenville and Pitt County?
Directly below the statue of a noble
confederate soldier is a commemoration to
those Greenvillites who valiantly gave their
lives in defense of our country during
World War II and the Korean War. Both
black and white together? Well, yes, but
not quite. There is a matter of positioning
on the store and the amorphous word
"colored" over those at the bottom of the
list. (An ingenious classifatory device for
friends and relatives to more easily locate
their beloved?)
How well blacks who sacrificed their
lives for uf are recognized in Greenville. Is
it possible Greenville also affords such
respect to the ordinary, non-heroic black
resident? And perhaps this is only a
superficial example of Greenville's
nature I might suggest, however, trying
to remove or alter the monument and
witness the resistance of those powerful
residents dedicated to and responsible for
the perpetuation of the attitudes reflected
by Greenville's "noble monument

Organized ECU-Bonn
Wrigleygoes hometo England ?a
By KATHY KOONCE
Staff Writer
Dr. Fred Wrigley, a native of England
and one of the individuals instrumental in
organizing the ECU study center in Bonn,
Germany, has visited the United States
"times without number but this time he
did not come as a business man or as a
tourist. He came as a teacher. Since the
beginning of Spring quarter Dr. Wrigley
has been the instructor of Business 471 - a
graduate course in International Affairs.
"I enjoyed being a teacher. It was
harder work than I expected said the man
who had never taught formally until this
fall. During the fall Wrigley lectured at
the European study center which was
moved to Rome.
Wrigley was in Bonn when Dr. Indorf,
Dr. Williams and Dr. Bearden were
organizing the study center. It was
Wrigley who introduced Bearden and
Williams to the Burroughs Welcome
Company in Germany. Wrigley feels that
the Rome center is "settling down and
making good progress "You can walk
out the front door and you are in the heart
of Rome
Wrigley's connections with ECU came
through Dr. Bearden during his original
visit to this area to find a new sight for
Burroughs Welcome. He still insists that
DR. FRED WRIGLEY
his impressions are "much more as that of
students and there is not a great deal of
difference between lifestyles
Wrigley served Burroughs Welcome for
16 years as Deputy Chairman. He has had
the honor of C.B.E. bestowed upon
him. This honor is received by certain
British citizens at a request by the Prime
Minister to the Queen. C.B.E. stands for
Commander of the Most Excellent Order of
the British Empire.
Wrigley grew up near Manchester and
Yorkshire. He spends his week-ends at his
country home approximately 200 miles
from London. He mentioned that during
the weekends here he has been able to see
American family life. Of the major
differences he has sepn there are "more

attention is paid to products of the kitchen

around pubs. There are no liquor laws and

Art Exhibition Committee in the making
By BROWNIE WILSON
Staff Writer
Something very new and exciting can
be expected from the Art Exhibition
Committee next year when the new union
opens.
The committee will attempt to provide
for the campus a series of exhibitions that
will range from prints and paintngs to
demonstrations on the potter's w' ael.
Den Dickerson, committee chairman,
feels that the facilities in the new student
union will allow his committee the
flexibility to provide the students with
enjoyable exhibitions.
"We hope to be able to give the campus
community what they would like in the
area of art said Dickerson. "This will be
much easier because of the beautiful
space we have been given in the new
union
Dickerson pointed out that excellent
lighting and a large amount of room are
important factors in a successful
exhibition. He said that great care had
m
been taken to insure that the viewing area
in the union met these requirements.
"We hope to bring in art pieces of
national interest to be exhibited on the
East Carolina campus, this will include
sculpture, prints, printings and anything
we feel would benefit the students said
Dickerson.
He said that they were in the process of
securing an agent to book the art tours so
that pieces could be sent to Greenville.
Another dimension of the new union
will be the arts and crafts room. Students
will be able to use this room to learn and
enjoy such activities as leather work,
candlemaking, metal work and basket
making.
'We will try to organize these
workshops so that the only cost to the
students will be the cost of materials
said Dickerson.
"There are many talented people in this
area that would be happy to teach these
courses and we want to take full advantage
of their ability Dickerson stated.
The Art Exhibition committee will be
involved in organization and planning for
the grand opening of the union next fall, so
as Dickerson pointed out, the influence of
the committee will not be felt until next
year.
"This is a new committee and one of
the few art exhibition groups of its kind in
the South said Dickerson. "Because of
this fact we are very hopeful that we can
provide a new and fresh experience for the
students and faculty
Wade Hobgood, president of the
student union, helped start the committee
because he felt there was a void in the
present union situation. With the new Art
Exhibition committee and the new
facilities available Hobgood feels the
combination will benefit the students.
"I think that the Art Exhibition
committee will be very important and one
of the most interesting elements on
campus next year stated Hobgood.

Paper recycling bins placed on
campus and around town
By GLENN HARGETT
Staff Writer
Cooperation between numerous on
campus personnel and the Eastern
Carolina Sheltered Workshop has provided
Greenville and the ECU campus with their
first recycling bins.
Eight bins have been placed at
locations around Greenville with one bin
on the ECU campus.
The Workshop is currently building
more bins to place around Greenville.
Paper picked up from the bins is
transported to Williamston where it is
processed for selling.
Cardboard is shredded by the
Mlliamston Sheltered Workshop person-
nel. The personnel bail newspaper and
other similar paper in a special machine
that the Eastern Carolina Sheltered
Workshop here hopes to obtain soon.
If the Workshop obtains the bailer, it
will no longer be necessary to send the
newspapers to be bailed.
Currently the paper is being purchased
y the Albemarle Paper Co but the
orkshop does not know who buys the
per on a day-to-day basis since the
Williamston Workshop handles that.
The recycling bins grew out of interest
both by the Greenville Jayceei and the
Workshop personnel. Planning a total
recycling center modeled after one in
Ohio, the Jaycees found that they would
be in competition with the Workshop.
In order for all to work in harmony the
Workshop began working with the Jaycees
to establish the present bins.
On the ECU campus James Smith,
Assistant Professor of Philosophy at ECU
and Jaycee member and Edith Webber,
Instructor in English at ECU and members
of the League of Women Voters were
responsible for the bin located behind
North Cafeteria.
The professors circulated a letter
asking for reactions to having a bin on
campus. About 150 faculty members
responded favorably. Smith then ap-
proached Clifton G. Moore, Vice-Chancel-
lor for Business Affairs, with the results.
Moore then suggested the present
location citing easy car access and
proxmity to the library, which will also
cooperate with the recycling efforts.
Other departments on campus have
also expressed a willingness to cooperate.
Room rent as of Fall Qaurter, 1974,
subject to a change, will be $120 per
quarter. ($180 for a private room). Private
rooms can only be guaranteed in Slay Hall
prior to the beginning of Fall Quarter.
The following regulation will be in
effect as of Fall Quarter, 1974: "It is

it. A small shuttlebus from the new union
to all over campus will at least give the
students who don't use the other buses a
chance to see how their money is being
used. Of course this all depends on the
gas situation, if we can have the gas then
the shuttlebus could be seen on this
campus sometime next year, claims
Lucas.
"As for the Xerox machine and the SGA
student hotline, the way it stands now
there will not be a continuation of either
because the students are not using
them Lucas said that the Xerox machine
was not losing money but that it was not
making any, so it probably would be best
to discontinue the use of it.

are still many aspects that he will have to
overcome to make his stay in office
effective. Says Lucas, "I have seen a lot of
officers come and go and have seen their
strong points and bad ones, but I feel that I
have a general knowledge of what's
happening. If we keep openness in the
SGA then I am sure we can do
well Lucas feels that a president's job is
to coordinate activities not manipulate
them.
When asked about the dissension in
the SGA, he said, "I feel very confident
that this year or next we'll eliminate the
personality conflicts' which hurt the
SGA. Sure we'll have problems but they
won't be personal ones

existence for about three years.
Dr. Perry visited the Yoriba village, and
met the king and his wives.
According to Dr. Perry the village has
no electricity, no running water and no
modern conveniences.
The group practices polygamy, but the
wives do not all live together. Each wife
has her own little round house, made from
plywood, and her own cookshed.
Dr. Perry said the king told her the
authorities had given them a few
problems. He was charged with bigamy
and taken into town to be tried.
The king said his people sacrificed a
white goat and prayed, and mysteriously,
the charges were dropped.
According to Dr. Perry, the people are
very serious about what they are
doing. Everyone must speak the native
language from dawn to noon. After that
English can be spoken.
There is a Yoriba academy for the
school age children. One of the villagers
is an elementary school teacher.
The village exemplifies a group of
blacks who of their own volition have
chosen to live like their ancestors, because
they are proud of their culture.

WONDERING ALOUD
Normally it is true that all athletic teams on campus have home contests. There
are several reasons for this: (1) It gives the athletes a chance to perform in front of their
friends and girlfriends, (2) It helps the athletes establish traditions in playing for the old
alma mater, and (3) It becomes part of a home-and-home series with other schools
which we become involved with in other sports.
Now doesn't it seem strange for you as a student at East Carolina that you have to pay
an athletic fee and CANNOT watch, on your own campus, a major sporting event. For
your information there are no home track meets this year and yet the East Carolina track
team is supposed to be one of the strongest that we have ever had. Now why shouldn't
you as students, who are paying athletic fees, be allowed to see this team in action on
your own campus9
We have heard through the grapevine that track coach William Carson is making a
very strong point of not using the East Carolina track this spring so that the athletic
council will take action and give him a new surface for his quarter-mile track.
Stories are around that the surface is so poor that it is not fifing for an athlete to run
on the surface and there is a possibility that harm or danger could occur. Furthermore,
with the surface having deteriorated into such poor condition, it would be practically
impossible for any chances of fast times occuring.
Since Mr. Carson will have the premiere 100-yard dash man in the country (Carter
Suggs) wouldn't it behoove the school, administration, Athletic Council or Athletic
Director to get off their collective fannies and do something besides criticize
"Fountainhead
Hard surface quarter-mile running tracks do not deteriorate overnight, it takes both
time and usage and if Mr.Carsonis punishing the students of this university by not having
a track meet for them to watch in order to make his point, then where the heck has the
Athletic Director been for the past several years. Is it not his responsibility to make sure
that ali facilities for athletic events are in the best shape possible0
We know that this problem can be eliminated and a solution can be found. When
Sonny Randle wanted his football practice fields and had only a few hundred dollars in
the budget for them, bulldozers, graters and trucklcdds of dirt all of a sudden appeared
and two practice fields worth approximately seven to ten thousand dollars suddenly were
made. Again we come back to the old question of who establishes the sense of priorities
for sports at this institution? Are these priorities the wishes of the students?
Perhaps it is time that the Athletic Council become open and above board with the
some 10,000 students at this university who are paying athletic fees. As case in point, I
direct the attention of the Athletic Council to either the Richmond or the Davidson
campus newspapers which have taken particular pains to print articles released by their
Board of Trustees and Faculty Committee on Athletics, so the students know exactly
what is going on and how their money is being spent.
What is the deep, dark secret here, Mr. Athletic Director?
In the past few years, an abundance of coaches have come and gone. Men like John
Lovstedt who had coached soccer, lacrosse and diving, Brown, Tolis, Ragazzo, Randle
and staff (except Henry Travathan) and recently Tom Quinn. Never once in my term as
sports editor of "Fountainhead" have I been asked to print anything commending or
praising the Athletic Director or Athletic Department of East Carolina from recently
departed coaches.
Recently, for those of you who follow college basketball in North Carolina (which
would include most everyone in the state), Duke University hired a new basketball
coach. He is Bill Foster, who previously had coached at the University of Utah. We will
now quote Coach Foster's parting words when he left Utah.
"Utah people have been great to me and my family. My leaving was made so much
more difficult because of the respect and admiration I have for Athletic Director Bud
Jack, President David Gardner and the entire Athletic Department
Have you as students heard any of our departed coaches make statements for
publication or usage by other media, that praised the Athletic Director, President of the
University or Athletic Department9 If you haven't then why haven't the coaches who have
left done so?
WONDERING AGAIN
Recently it has come to my attention that East Carolina has been playing a few
unknown schools in sporting events. For example in the past few weeks we have had
Shippensburg State College in baseball and Glassboro in tennis when teams such as
Dartmouth, VPI, Cincinnati, South Carolina and RPI have been in our immediate area in
different sports Is this not part of the job description for being an Athletic Director: "To
schedule teams which will enhance and increase the image of your school
How does Shippensburg and Glassboro increase our image in sports? As a matter of
fact, what the heck did Fairleigh-Dickinson and Buffalo State do for our basketball
program?
The Athletic Director of a university is responsible for upgrading efforts in ALL sports
and as head of the Athletic Department, he should be able to veto any coach's
suggestions as to teams to play.
Therefore students, since it is your money that is being used to schedule many of
these teams and you do not like watching unknowns play your ECU Pirates in any sport,
indly direct your remarks to Athletic Director Clarence Stasavich and not this reporter.

Sam Phillips won a gold medal and set
a new meet record for ECU in the
prestigious Atlantic Coast Relays in
Raleigh Saturday, March 30.
Phillips won the 120 yd. high hurdles in
14.3 seconds, and set a meet record of
14.2 in the morning trials.
Phillips commented, "It was a collison
race. By that I mean I got hit hurdling the
second and third hurdles. It slowed me
down to a certain extent and caused me to
hit several hurdles. This is my biggest win
in college
The outstanding performance of the
meet was by Larry Black, North Carolina
Central University's 200-meter silver
medalist in the Munich Olympics.
Black won the 100-yd. dash in 9.3,
anchored the winning 440 relay team and
helped the sprint medley relay to another
gold medal.

Golfers revamp plans
East Carolina's veteran and "on paper"
talented golf team has revamped its
seasonal plans. Originally, the golfers
under head coach Bill Cain had planned to
play top calibre golf from the very
beginning of the season to the end?the
Southern Conference Tournament. Now,
after a "very disappointing" showing in the
important Furman Invitational last week,
Cain and his golfers are pointing to the
Southern Conference Tournament April
30-May 1 in Florence, S.C.
"We finished 13th in the Furman
Tournament Cain said Monday. "As a
team that was behind Furman and
Appalachian State, two schools we will
have to beat in the conference. This is the
third time we have played in the same
tournament, but it is the first time we have
finished behind them
"Individually, we are not playing nearly
as well as we should be at the time of the
season. We started slow and I expected
the players to begin scoring. Now, we
aren't
The best score the Pirates could
manage in the two-day, rain shortened
Furman Tournament was an even par 72 by
All-American Eddie Pinnix on the first
day. After a rain out on Friday, Carl Bell
posted the best second day score with a 77
while the remainder of the team was
bunched at 78 (three players) and 79 (two
players).
"We'll have to do much better than
that Cain thinks. "This present golf
situation will require a great deal of work
dedication on the part of my team. We
have a couple of dual matches before the
tournament. We'll use those as tuneups
for the conference tourney
"There isn't anything mysterious about
our finish down the list at Furman Cain
reasons, "we just are not playing well and I
think that is partially because we are not
really working and sharpening up our
games individually
Five lady gymnasts
participate in meet
The East Carolina women's gymnastic
team competed in the Region II Gymnastic
Championships two weekends ago. The
event was held on the campus of Western
Kentucky University.
Eight schools participated In the meet,
and the Pirate ladies were one of three
schools competing from North Carolina.
ECU was ineligible for any team awards
since only five girls performed. This was
below the minimum required to be eligible
for the team title. Three of these five did
place in their respective events.
On the uneven parallel bars, Joan Fulp
placed fourth. Linda Lane finished eighth
in the vaulting exercises and Myma Ocasia
was seventh on the balance beam. The
two other team members who competed
were Jenny Griffin and Beth Wheeler.
Western Kentucky took first place in
the regionals thanks to the incredible
performance of Adele Gleaver. Miss
Gleaver, a World University Game
participant for the United States, won
every single event in the tournament.
Western Carolina, the North Carolina
state championship team, placed second
behind Western Kentucky. They were led
by state champion Susan Buelock.
The team is now preparing for their
spring gymnastic show later this month.
If the Athletic Council, Athletic Director or Faculty Committee on Athletics feels that
we are being unduly rough regarding the above statements, "Fountainhead" would be
more than happy to publish any rebuttal issued by the respective departments.
The University of Richmond has just undergone an NCAA probe and all of it was
covered and carried by the college paper "The Collegian Davidson College also
recantly carried two full pages of the school paper answering questions asked by the
students regarding their athletic policies. So the precedent has already been established
by the Athletic Councils of member Southern Conference schools to keep the student
body informed. Let us now jump on the band wagon and play follow the leaders.

Remember the days when rookies had
to fight to make a place for themselves on
a baseball team? And if and when they did
succeed, they were given the silent
treatment by the regulars?
It seems as if those days are in the
past. At any rate, it seems that way if you
listen to Mike Hogan, starting centerf ielder
for the ECU Pirates.
Hogan, a senior physical education-
traffic safety education major from
Newport News, Va is the leader of a band
of Pirates that call themselves the
"GI'S And the group has absolutely
nothing to do with the military name once
given to soldiers, either.
"I guess it got started, officially, on our
first road trip Hogan explained, musing
over the short history of the group. "There
was only one car left when it came time to
load up, so we just took command right
then and there
In essence, the initials stand for
"Golden Idiots and the members consist
of Hogan, pitcher Wayne Bland, and a
varied cast of second-stringers. Hogan
gave credit to Bland for coining the
nickname of the group, and said that such
an irregularly put together association is
beneficial.
"Something like this keeps interest and
morale up for the second-stringers said
Hogan. "And if you keep your interest up
and know what's going on when you are on
the bench, you have a better chance of
coming through when you get in the
game
Hogan, a 6-2, 210-pounder, by virtue of
his starting position for the Pirates, is also
a "P2 Not wishing to drive dictionary
editors to distraction, Hogan explained
that "P2" stands for "Purple Phantom
"I know it sounds strange laughed
Hogan. "But a Purple Phantom is actually
director of the Golden Idiots. Don't ask me
to get too technical, please; we're just
doing this to keep some fun in the game
However, the only fun thing about
having Mike Hogan in the game, most
opposing pitchers would agree, is not
having him in the lineup. But that
situation is a rare one. Hogan was an
All-Conference performer at first base and
EAST CAROLINA BASERUNNER beats throw to third base in Saturday's douWeneader
victory over Appalachian State.
six innings, ECU erupted for four runs in
the seventh. Carl Summerell and Narron
both slapped run producing extra-base
hits. Beaston also had a good day at the
plate as he went three for five. The
winning pitcher in the 8-2 win was Wayne
Bland.
The first game of the doubleheader
against Appalachian State was a wild and
wooly ten inning affair, finally pulled out
by the Pirates, 3-2.
A fluke play in the fifth gave their
Mountaineers their first run. With two
men out, Lennie Brockmeier beat out an
infield single. The next batter lined a shot
to right field and Buc rightfielder Bobby
Harrison tried for the circus catch instead
of playing it safe. The ball skipped by him
and rolled all the way to the right field wall,
with Brockmeier scoring from first on the
play.
ECU tied it up in the home half of the
sixth on a play that so enraged ASU coach
Jim Morris that he ended up getting
thumbed out of the game.
With one out, Staggs walked. After
Hogan struck out, Summerell hit a ground
the outfield his freshman and sophomore
years at College of Albemarle, a junior
college located in Elizabeth City,
N.C. Continuing his career with the
Pirates in 1973, Hogan belted the ball at a
.337 clip to capture team batting honors
and a spot on the All-Southern Conference
team.
Walking off with a batting title wasn't a
new trick for Hogan. As a high-schooler,
Hogan captured the state batting title his
senior year. Also, Hogan competed in
basketball and was a football co-captain.
While he's not busy pounding
baseballs for the Pirates (.243, including
two triples and a home run after 10 games),
Hogan enjoys pouding a few beats of his
own on a set of drums. Hogan is quick to
add, however, that while he himself has
musical inclinations, other "GI'S" can play
as well.
"I like to work out on the drums,
especially explained Hogan. "But a little
bit can be said for the guitar, piano and
harmonica work. You should hear
Heavner (Buc righthander Joe) on the
guitar.too
He's another Gl, you know Hogan
proudly continued. After college, Hogan
insists that he wants to coach, the
driver's education field is wide open as
well. In retracing some steps as a player,
Hogan said his biggest thrill to date was a
game he won in the Shenandoah Valley
League, a National Collegiate Athletic
Association venture that operates in the
mountains of Virginia. During the contest,
Hogan blasted a home run to tie the score
in the seventh, then as an encore won the
game in the ninth with another scoring
blast.
Where does the Pirate senior get his
energy to play baseball, dabble in music,
and participate in physical education-
traffic safety education program? Hogan
said his once-favorite food, steak and
potatoes, had taken a back seat to an even
more delicious concotion:
"It must be the banana sandwiches and
cold Pepsi's laughed Hogan.
And after all, who can argue with the
"DI-GI-P2?"
ball to third. The third baseman booted
the ball, picked it up and fired to first. The
throw was in the dirt and in the
baseline. The ball skirted by the first
baseman, and Summerell, displaying form
that would make his New York Giant
bosses smile, sent him flying as the ASU
player was blocking the base.
The ball ended up in the right field
corner. Summerell advanced to second
and Hogan scored, much to the chagrin of
coach Morris. After a few derrogatory
comments directed at the umpire, Morris
watched the rest of the game from the
Appalachian bullpen.
Pitchers Bill Godwin for ECU and Jim
Blankenship for ASU continued the 1-1
pitching dual into the tenth inning when
Godwin was touched for an unearned
run. With the Mounties leading 2-1, the
pressure was now on the Pirate.
Ronnie Leggett opened the bottom of
the tenth by dropping a broken-bat single
into short center. Rick McMahon executed
to perfection as he sacrificed the tieing run
to second base. However, Beaston would
have no talk of only tieing as the second
baseman blasted a game-winning, into the
wind home run for the final 3-2 margin.
The stellar pitching of LaRussa in the
second game of the doubleheader led ECU
to a 2-0 victory. He allowed just three
scattered hits in the seven inning contest.
The Pirates picked up their first run in
the fourth inning. Narron reached on a
fielders choice and Leggett hit a ground
rule double which advanced Narron to
third. McMahon lofted a sacrifice fly to
right, scoring Narron for a 1-0 advantage.
Hogan added an insurance run in the
fifth as he connected for a 390 foot home
run over the wall in deep right center.
These two wins give the Pirates a
formidable 7-1 record in Southern
Congerence action, and upped their overall
mark to 12-5.
A four game road trip now awaits the
Pirates over quarter break. The Bucs
travel to Pembroke, continue on to the
Citadel for a single game Saturday and
then face UNC-Wilmington in a
doubleheader Monday. Next home game
is Saturday, April 20, against William and
Mary.
Grid drills bring smiles
East Carolina University's new head
coach and football team began 20 precious
days together last week. After three days
of work and hours of head-up hitting, Pat
Dye and his coaching staff are "pleased"
over Pirate accomplishments.
The highlight of the first week of
practice was a three-hour controlled
scrimmage Saturday in full view of the
coaches and a filming camera. "The
scrimmage looked pretty good Dye said,
"but really it didn't tell much. Our offense
made great strides, but of course we were
not going against our best defense. And,
we haven't put in the entire offense yet, so
really, we say only part of what we want
"I do think that for only three days of
work, the players are adjusting to our new
system and new coaches pretty well. I've
said all along that spring ball will be a
learning and teaching experience and if
nothing else, will help the players and
coaches communicate football

week Dye thinks. "Then, with the 20
days getting tighter, we'll probably taper
off a little bit. We must get as much as we
can from the 20 days this spring because
there is just so much teaching to be done
The main problems facing the new
coach are rebuilding the offensive line lost
to graduation, replacing quarterback Carl
Summerell and running back Carlester
Crumpler and changing systems.
"The offensive line is still a problem of
major proportions. We haven't settled on a
single player. We have some good players
back with little playing experience and we
have some fine linemen coming in this
fall. It just depends on how people
improve and learn and how fast the recruits
come.
"At running back, we have six or seven
excellent runners including Ken Strayhom,
Don Schink, Jimmy Howe, Bobby Myrick,
Jesse Ingram and Ray Jones to name a
few. We will have to keep them healthy

Ray Scharf 'believes'inwinning
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
There must be moments in the early
evening when Ray Scharf looks at the
smpty ECU pool and contemplates victory,
poverty and success.
He has coached ECU to eight
consecutive conference swimming champ-
ionships, contested national powers such
as Maryland, N.C. State and Army, and
gained respect among his peers and
athletes.
Swimming for Scharf started at Asbury
Park High School, N.J where he ran track
and swam freestyle for a tocal Amateur
Athletic Union club.
At Brockport State Univ. in New York
Scharf swam four years and captained the
team his senior year. In 1957, 1959, and
1960 he was the AAU state champion in
freestyle in New Jersey.
From competition Scharf turned to
coaching, first at the Univ. of Arizona, then
Edison H.S. in N.J the freshman team at
American Univ. and finally Fort Union H.S.
n Virginia.
Scharf sent a promising swimmer to
CU and the next year went with four of his
dimmers to the high school champion-
ihips held each year in Greenville.
Scharf commented, "Dr. Ray Martinez
.then ECU swimming coach) asked me if
'd be interested in coming down here as
an assistant coach. It meant a $3000 cut in
salary, and it took me seven years at ECU
iO get back up to where I was. This was a
really difficult decision but Dr. Martinez
didn't think he'o be coaching much longer
and after some persuasion I decided to
come
Scharf has a unique view of coaching,
"I think anybody can coach and learn the
mechanics of coaching. It's a different
thing when you get involved with
people. Too often we don't work with
people but just numbers and results. I
think Don Shula hit it on the head when he
said of his team's success, 'the Dolphins
are a family Too many coaches don't
think positively of their athletes, they say
that this will be a rebuilding year. What
they're really doing is protecting their
jobs
Jerry Kirshembaum of Sports Illus-
trated writes of swimming, "Pounding
along in sweet upper air the runner has all
the best of it. A few vigorous shakes of his
thigh muscles, a deep breath and he's
away. The truer triumph of pain comes
from throwing ones body into a pool and
churning ojt lap after lap
Scharf agreed, "You can run and you've
got a lot of things in the external
environment to keep from getting
bored. In swimming it's a concrete
prison. You swim up and down and see
the same blue line. The motivation and
gimmicks a coach has to go through to
keep his kids interested is really
tough. With the things that play on a
swimmer's mind, it takes a great deal of
desire, determination and courage to keep
going.
With the advent of pro track, swimming
is virtually the only sport left of a true
amateur quality. But Scharf believes
swimming has a greater value.
"To me swimming is a character
builder. A kid who puts four years into
swimming is going to be a success in
everything he does. He can cope with
Buc netters drop pair
The main goal of East Carolina's tennis
team when the season opened was to
improve on its 7-11 record last year and to
be a factor in the Southern Conference
race.
A year ago, the Pirates opened with
seven consecutive losses before posting a
victory. This year, after three losses to
tennis toughies like Appalachian State,
Furman and Atlantic Christian, the Pirates
have put together back-to-back wins
according to Coach Wes Hankins and "are
doing some of the things I expected them
j?i do after a year's experience
East Carolina stopped Pembroke State
Saturday in a road match to run its record
to 2-4. Also last week, thePiratesdefeated
visiting Glassboro State of New Jersey, a
respected eastern tennis team.
This past weekend the Pirates ran into
some bad luck as they were dropped by
Southern Conference opponents V.M.I,
and William and Mary.
On Saturday afternoon the Bucs
managed to win 3 matches, but it wasn't
enough as the Keydets prevailed, 6-3. Ed
Spiegel was victorious in the number two
singles winning 6-2, 6-2. Keith Marion
was a winner in the number three singles
with scores of 6-3, 7-5. The final East
Carolina winners were the doubles team of
Chuck Lloyd and Neil Peterson who won
6-2, 6-0.
The Indians demolished the Pirates in a
makeup match on Sunday, winning 9-0.
hollowing the V.M.I, match, East
Carolina will spend most of the second
, mii of the season on the road at Richmond
(April 8), Atlantic Christian (April 16),
UNC-Wilmington (April 20) and Campbell
College (April 30). Home matches include
Pembroke (April 9), Old Dominion (April
12) and Davidson (April 19).
Morrow, Bolding
recipients of honors
Jack Morrow, a senior diver, and Jim
Bolding, a sophomore defensive back who
led the team in pass interceptions last
year, have been named Outstanding
College Athletes in America by a special
selection committee based in New York
City.
Morrow, a Charlotte native, partici-
pated in the NCAA nationals for the third
straight year this year. Morrow holds
virtually every one and three-meter diving
record. Away from diving, Morrow serves
as the sports editor of the campus
newspaper called "Fountainhead" and
hosts two times weekly a radio sport show
on campus radio station WECU.
Bolding, a native of High Point, started
only 10 games in 1973 and in that time,
picked off seven passes to lead the team
and finish third in the nation. He is one of
the positive factors on the 1974 Pirate
squad because of his playing experience,
youth, and leadership ability.
Scrimmage planned
Head football coach Pat Dye, his staff
and the football team would like to invite
students, faculty and friends of East
Carolina to a game-type scrimmage. The
game will be held on Tuesday evening at
Ficklen Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
problems other people crack up over. I
think the type of training we do, physical
and mental, goes toward making a person
a better, more successful individual
Possibly no other sport requires the
virogous training involved in swimming.
Agony seems to gentle a word to use in
Scharf's description of a typical day's
workout.
"We go two workouts a day. A
minimum of an hour in the morning,
mainly distance work consisting of 3,000
to 4,000 yards (160 laps). It's programmed
to timed interval training. Then an hour of
weight training. In the afternoon we do
strength training out of the pool. Then we
do water training, usually about 8,000
yds
Scharf reflected on how he dominated
swimming in the conference.
"We strive to get 100 percent from
everyone. We say that because we never
do anything up to our potential. We only
give 10 to 20 percent of our total stress
factor. Our workouts are designed to give
our swimmers a maximum stress. We win
because not everyone else in the
conference has the same philosophy. And
our philosophy is not geared to the
conference, but to national powers like
Florida and N.C. State.
Scharf is confronted with the same
problem as most of the coaches at East
Carolina are. a lack of funds for
recruiting. Considering the talent he can
obtain this poverty becomes questionable.
Dan Winant, a world class swimmer in
the 200 breastroke whose time is six
seconds faster than the ECU varsity record
has shown interest. Of national caliber
there is John Ehring, a backstroke
specialist from Penn. and Gary Jameson
from Tenn. who is one of the most heavily
recruited freestyle distance swimmers in
America.
Scharf commented, "We've probably
contacted several hundred swimmers. We
have many swimmers who are interested in
our program, because we've established a
winning tradition. They say they want to
come but how much money can we give
them. We have 2112 scholarships, and we
cannot compete on a national level with
this
There is a good possibility next year
ECU will be facing national power
Tennessee, who finsihed third in the
recent NCAA championships. Tennessee
has a budget for swimming of $110,000
compared to ECU with a budget of
$11,000.
Scharf says, "Our program of
scholarships has stabilized since I've been
here. From a cost of living increase we've
stayed the same, on a dollar increase we've
moved up. But with tuition and prices
going up we've stayed the same and
almost gone backwards
Last summer Scharf held coaching
clinics in Mexico and for the State Dept.
and this year was nominated for NCAA
District Three Coach of the Year
honors. He has coached a good swimmer
named Jim Griffin to world class caliber,
and made many average swimmers go far
beyond their potential.
But the awards and success mean little
to this man, for he strives for goals much
higher. And with a look at his record and
the kind of athlete he produces, his future
success is a foregone conclusion.
