Work on the building's structure is complete sufficient- ly enough to permit classes to be held in the modern, spacious rooms A conversation with Wellington Gray, dean of the schoo! of art, gives insight to the past, present, and future circum Stances of the new home for the ar school. The two-story structure was built at a cost of two and one quarter million Gollars. Most of this money was appropriated by the state’s capita! improvement construction fund. There is a second project to build an adjoining Office . This project, known as phase two. is scheduled to begin on December 20th of this year For budgetary reasons, the building will be erected in two stages, the first stage consisting of about 65,000 square feet. The second stage, somewhat larger than the first, will make the toai floor space around 142.000 square feet NAMED JENKINS The new art complex is to be named for ECU Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins, a unanimous decision made by ECU's Board of Trustees at its May, 1973, meeting, to recognize the efforts undertaken by Dr Jenkins on behalf of the fine arts program at ECU During its phenomenal growth period over the past decade, the ECU art schoo! had been slowly and relentiessiy cramped out of its original quarters in the third floor of Rawi Building As long ago as 1970, when ECU officials launched a serious effort to procure funds for a new building from the General Assembly, the School of Art had overspread itself into odd comers and basements of five other campus buildings. The original Raw! location, equipped for about 250 students, had simply too little space for 600 students The new complex is jocated on the main campus, easily visible from Fifth St on the site of the now-demolished Old Austin Building. Its imposing design, a creation of Chariotte architects Odell and Associates, is characterized by rows of rectangular bay windows on the north and south $1068 FINAL PREPARATIONS Many pieces of equipment have yet to be moved in and set up in the building before operations will be at full capacity. A few delays in shipping of some equipment is the problem. Staff members have been moving desks and files from the Rawl building for the past two weeks in order to prepare the building for classes. Dean Gray is certain the art department will be more unified than in the past with most art programs located in the sarne immediate area. Four departments will remain in Raw until the phase two building is complete The enroliment of the schoo! of art nas increased by approximately one hundred students. Gray attributes the increase to the high quality of art instruction that East Carolina is Known for, and to the increase : of space for instruction An increase in staff members of the art department is expected According to Dean Gray, all departments were in danger of losing at least one faculty member due to a decrease of full time students during last year. This danger is no threat at the present time Some of the many features of the building are special equipment in the dyeing and printing programs. These two processes will be simpler due to the advanced operating techniques. The painting areas have sixteen foot high ceilings and large windows to permit a northern light to enter each room. The new kilns are set up for firing ceramics with a natural gas flame, but in the event of a possible gas shortage this winter, the ovens Can be converted to hard wood or coal flame. Aiso, there will be a large outdoor kiln on the patio of the building The glass first floor front reveals a lighted interior brick wall suitable for hanging large canvases or woven textiles SO they can be viewed from the street With the continuing expansion of ECU, Dean Gray anticipates a further expansion in all areas of art taught here ART FACULTY AND STUDENTS eagerty anticipate the completion and full occupancy of the new art buliding. Fine Arts bill will be first business By MIKE TAYLOR Staff Writer A new Fine Arts bill which SGA president Bob Lucas termed a ‘compromise” with a Fine Arts bill he vetoed last Spring, will be one of the first items of business that a new student legisiature will deal with when it takes office in about a month The proposal, according to Lucas, will allow the Orama, An, and Music Departments to present their budgets for the new year to the SGA in the Spring instead of the Fall. Organizations on campus who currently seek SGA funds are not required to present their budgets to the student legisiature until after a new SGA is elected in the Fall of each year lf passed, the proposal would give those three departments a clean jump on the rest of the organizations who are seeking a slice of the SGA budget pie. If approved those three departments would make their regular budget request to the SGA Appropriations Committee in the spring for a review. The SGA committee would then make a recommendation on the budgets and forward it to the new SGA which would meet the following fall Lucas explained that with this LL Ls recommendation from the SGA Appro- priations Committee the three depart- ments would know what to expect in the way of funding for the coming year ‘In the pasi, the departments Nad no idea of what to expect from the SGA. Under this bill the departments would have a good idea of just how much money they would get for the next year and they could plan accordingly Lucas pointed out Under this new bill it would take a lot of wondering out of the budget request for the departments. instead of waiting for the new SGA and the money hasseis that always arise these three departments would have all they nead to know in the late Spring,” Lucas continued SGA approval in the Fall of the recommendation from the Appropnations Committee would be just a “routine matter’ Lucas believes The SGA president asserted that this new bill was a lot better bill for the Drama, Art and Music Departments than was a Fine Arts bill that was passed by the SGA and vetoed by him last year The proposal passes last year by the SGA established an ECU Fine Arts Advisory Board that would be funded $1.00 per student per quarter from monies collected in activity fees. Funds wouid also be taken from student activity fees paid in the summer with a projected total of over $30,000 being allotted to the three depart ments The $30,000 would then have been distributed to the three schools with Art getting 17 percent of the tally, Music 33 percent and the ECU Playhouse (Drama) 50 percent The proposal sailed through the legisiature in the next to last meeting in May by a vote of 22-11 with two abstentions But, then Lucas promptly siapped a veto on the bill explaining that “when this kind of bill passes it opens up a Pandora's Box.’ Lucas cited the fact that the bill would discriminate against other departments on campus The SGA president said another reason for the veto was that while the Ar department would receive some $5,000 in funds through the bill, they had yet to turn in a budget and tell how the money would be spent In the final meeting of the SGA last May the student legislature voted 21-17 not to override the veto : Continued on page eight. 2 FOUNTAINHEADVOL. 6, NO. 317 SEPTEMBER 1974 Seen oo aan tenant ndnienninineamiatann news FLASHFLASHFLASHFLASHFLASHFLASE Late Bucs The 1974 Buccaneer staff regrets that due to circumstances beyond our control the 1974 Buccanneer will not be delivered this month.

But, to meet the letter of the law, State officials nad little choice And, that same situation could happen to East Carolina, according to Student Book Store manager Joseph O. Clark ‘If someone was to press us we might have to go to this type of system of checking everyone " Ciark admitted Presently the book store has posted signs outside the store informing perspective buyers of who can purchose goods Clark explained that he did not think the ECU book store could be doing that rmuch business to walk-in traffic other than At the same time some of the small institutions in Eastern North Carolina like technical schools and community colleges can no longer depend on the ECU book store for their book needs Clark noted that most of the smail institutions could not carry ali the books that ECU did, so the schools had in the past, depended on the university for some of their needs. Selling books to these schools was a regular business before Senate bill 1421 came into effect Clark was quick to explain that the loss of this business did not affect ECU as it did the smail schools who had been used to getting books from here in the past NOW LEGAL But, while the new law had stopped some ECU book store business and could pose some probiems in the future, Dill 1421 has finally put ECU and the rest of the state book stores on the right side of the law in selling some merchandise Under a law passed by the North Carolina legislature in 1938, aimed at keeping state owned stores from competing with private enterprise, state stores could not sell anything but books that cost more than $.25. This law would have forced book stores to stop selling such items as imprinted’ materials with the school’s name on it Clark noted, however, that nobody in the state was obeying the old 1938 law ‘To begin with, if we had to do away with all our sales except book sales we would just about have to close,” Clark contended “Most of our profit does not come from the sale of books, it comes from the sale of these items that were prohibited in the oid law.” Clark continued.

On such master of intrigue” Alistair MaClean, returned to the listwith his latest contribution, BREAKHEART PASS, 178 pages, Doubleday and Sons Inc lf you are familiar with Alistair MaClean, then there's not much in the novel that will surprise you, except maybe the setting, which shifts from the usual foreign capitals of intrigue in the twentieth century, to an antiquated passenger train steaming its way through the remote and snowy mountains of Nevada, in the ole west. Loyal followers wil! find all of the elements of most of MaClean's other novels wound neatly into the plot.

Inc. Probably one of the most refreshing and thought-provoking books to come along in a great while hit the “Bestseller” list this summer, and at last notice was still near the top. The book is WATERSHIP DOWN In a day and age characterized by burgeoning technology, and political and sociological power struggles, it's nice to read something so seemingly simple in scope as this novel. You will notice that said, “seemingly”, for WATERSHIP DOWN belongs to that unique category of books that may be read, and appreciated on many leveis. To be sure, the story really is a simple one. It belongs to a group of adventurous rabbits who spurred on by a visionary warming of impending doom, leave the sanctuary of their home warren to establish their own mode of living elsewhere. It is a saga that encompasses almost every element found in the human condition. Along their way, the rabbits encounter obstacies created by man, as well as by nature The interplay of llometricaily opposing political and sociological philosophies, between the vagabond rabbits, and a strong totalitarian-ruled warren from which they seek to acquire does for their new home, suggests a great deal about the broad spectrum of one’s own individual interpretation of life and its relative worth, deing subject to the whim of human nature Aside from its obvious social implications, WATERSHIP DOWN, is very much a nature book. Adams’ vivid descriptions of weather, season and landscape remind one of another famous writers great affection for natureJ.R.R Tolkein.

TINKER, TAYLOR, contains aii of the elements of any good “cloak and dagger’ rag, but represents a departure from the traditional forms of sustained action and overt violence that have become the trademarks of many other top spy-writers. Instead, one finds a very mature, and a very realistic picture oflife in an otherwise dirty and lonely business. The novel's main character, George Smiley, is recruited by his superiors to dig out a “Mole” who has implanted himself deeply into the fabric of the Foreigh Department, (or “Circus” as it is ironicly termed), and who has kept Moscow Cantre informed with key intelligence material on British activities for a number of years. Smiley can trust no one. Even his oldest friends, and closest associates in the “Circus” are suspect. Such being the situation, Smiley begins his arduous journey Dack info time, remembering names and contacts, recalling unsolved CnMes and cases, seeking out old fnends and enermves, anyone, of thing, which mght give him some ciue to the “mole's” identity.

The purpose of this Survey was to obtain the student's opinions and ideas on Student Government Activities. Students had the opportunity to comment on previous SGA programs and to suggest new ones for the future The surveys were distributed through- out the dorms by the WRC and MRC. Day students were able to fill out a survey in the main lobby of the Student Union and the Croatan Of the roughly 4000 copies printed, approximately 825 were returned and 330 were not used This was the first SGA opinion survey taken by the present administration. The questions for the survey were obtained from the Executive Council, Class Officers, Cabinet members and Legis- lators Because this was the first atternpt of a student opinion survey, there are many changes that need to be made before the next Survey is taken The method of distribution in the dorms needs to be revised. There was a very low number of surveys returned from the dorms. A better method would be one Taxes at work CPS-The American taxpayer may be relieved to learn that scientific research has not been ignored by the federal government His tax doilars have funded such endeavors as the study of bisecual Polish frogs, the odor of sweat from Austrailian aborgines and mating calls of Central American toads From a Generai Accounting Office report, Rep. John B. Conian (R-AZ) has compiled an expenditures list of various federal studies Some of the problems scrutinized by the eye of the governmen' include the following The Department of Health, Education and Welfare spent $19,300 to find out why children fall off tricycles. Their official finding: “Unstable performance, parti- cularly rollover while turning.” The federal government's Board of Tea Tasters sips along at taxpayers’s expense, costing $117.250 a year Extra sipping is also done for those unhappy with this board's tea-tasting tests by the Board of Tea Appeals The Interdepartmental Screw Threas Committee, established as a temporary agency 'O speed the end of World War , is still laboring to make nuts and boits fit together. The cost: $250,000 a year A study of the blood groups of Polish Ziotnika pigs was conducted at the Agriculture College in Poznan, Poland. The $20,550 project was funded by the US Agriculture Department and investigated red blood cells and serum antigens in this new racial group of swine. -in the interest of continued international Viplomacy, England's Queen Elizabeth received $68,000 from Uncle Sam for not planting cotton on her Mississippi plantation Federal programs, Conian has noted, cost every man, woman and child about $1,500 each year—more than double the cost person in 1965. “Since tax cheaters can be fined and ‘odin bureaucrats guilty of squandering our money should be as well.” similar to the one used in the CU and Croatan Other suggestions for the survey include: making use of computerized answer sheets, a space designed for remarks, and a place to mark Day Student or Dorm Student so these surveys can be kept separated As a result of the survey, the present administration has student imput to work with during the upcoming year To increase the communication between the students and the SGA is one of the present administrations main goals.

Now, where do we go from here? While planning this editorial and trying to evaluate my feelings, it came to me that a lot of people may be just as “middie of the road” as am am not afraid to take a stand on this very controversial issue. It is just that have seen the situation from many sides that cannot judge anyone for their actions, even the originators of this conditional program. cannot judge, yet neither can completely understand these persons so vehemently supporting either end of a flat yes or no to the questions of amnesty and dessertion lt is very difficult think, to stand pat on a right or wrong answer when the whole Situation is honestly and closely examined am not a hawk, and thank God the war is over. If were an idealist would hope there would never be another But back to the issue, that question, you see have a couple of close friends who »Otained conscientious objectors status, a friend in Canada, several friends (two from ECU) who sweated out the war's end after being drafted in the middie of their studies, and family and friends who served in Vietnam. Six years ago was living in Denver, Colo which received a great number of wounded soldiers at the Army hospital there. Having occasion to visit my brother every day, was in close contact with those men, some barely recognizable as such. And as a worker for the POW cause was in close contact with families of POW’'s and MIA’s. On top of ai! that am a believer in helping fellow men and not leaving your neighbor to hold up your end. Yet, don't believe in agression and slick, undernanded political moves by calculating politicians All said and done, this war was-and now it is not. Of the men who choose not to fight, how can anyone condemn them for refusing to kill or be killed. As for those who went against their will, now can anyone judge whether they are better men than those who refused to compromise their beliefs? As for those who went because they were soidiers and that was their duty, how can anyone claim them heroes—they had already made their decision when they signed up Everyone has paid long enough for this war. Why should the men who refused to be Dullied and threatened into political killing (isn't that what it was?) be forced to suffer onger? : Hac this been a different type of war, a war of defense on our own continent, think Situations would Nave been different. Self-defense and preservation are natural acts of life. Political aggression for material gain is not. Because a few men pulled the strings and played the games of big business war, they had no right to expect free men to play aiong Unconditional amnesty, conditional amnesty! s it not enough that the men want to Dome Dack Nome?
