His purpose was to discover whether the new building wes barrier-free and easily accessible to handicapped persons. By CARL MURPHY and TOM FRANK Staff Writers Two graduate students in the Department of Rehabilitation counseling, Tom Frank and Cart Murphy, recently toured the new Mendenhall Student Center in search of architectural barriers and people's reactions to wheelchairs. “How do we get to second floor?” asked the nigh, manager on duty while sat i wheelchair, posed for the duration of the study. in they never told me heart about that. The only way is to use the elevator; Wait, I'll get the key,” was the receptive managers reply. Later in the evening, Cari asked the manager: “Well, what if Tom is on the second floor and the fire alarm goes off. Are you going to think of him first?” The night manager thought for a minute and said, “Ya, guess li have to.” Push bottoms on elevators, although not required by law, add to the safety and convenience of handicapped students. “It was my understanding that the elevator would have push buttoms,” said Mr. S. Rudolph Alexander, Director of the Mendenhal! Student Center, “when found out it wasn't, sent in a request for it to be changed.” After pointing out that even if buttons were installed in the elevator in place of the key slots handicapped students would not be able to reach them, Mr. Alexander said, “That's a good point. didn’t realize that.” On the same subject, Mr. Jarnes J. Lowry, director of the physical plant, pointed out, “The design for the elevator was made under previous administrations, and no change was made from their requests.” OTHER BARRIERS Many other physical barriers, encountered during the study, exist in the building. Floor mats in front of all the entrances are difficult for wheelchairs to overcome, water fountains are too high, telephones are out of reach, the bowling alley is inaccessible, and tables throughout the building are generaliy too low for the arms of a wheeichair to fit under, In the parking lot, the ramp over the curb is too steep for persons in wheelchairs to get over on their own power, and no markings or parking space exists for handicapped persons. Lowry explained, “When the building was being designed, it was stressed that it would be free of all architectural barriers that were known at the time (in the fail of 1971). “We went out of our way to do the best we couid. Provisions for handicapped parking, access to upper and lower floors of the auditorium (theatre) with room for wheelchairs near the exit door for emergencies, and wide bathroom doors were among the considerations. “One place of great difficulty was the three steps in the bowling alley area. A ramp would have to be so long, that, considering the cost, it couldn't be placed there. However, the steps are wide enough to allow a wheelchair to be manhandied down to HANDICAPPED STUDENTS face obstacies like this every day. The elevator in Menden- . —— 4 the alleys.” Thefts high on weekends Police recommen By LEE LEWIS Managing Editor Bicycle thefts continue to be a problem on the ECU ; “We lose two or three a week and up to five or six a weekend,” Director of Campus Police Joseph H. Calder told Fountain head. While many bike thefts are the work of individuals, evidence indicates that ECU students may have become the object of organized criminal rings. Bikes stolen at ECU might well find themselves repainted, with serial numbers removed, parts interchanged, and later sold for cut-rate prices on Campuses throughout the state, said Chief Calder. Few discernible patterns exist for predicting where and when bike thieves might strike. The vast majority of bike thefts occur around dormitories and classrooms with losses occurring equally during night and day. HOURS CITED Prime hours of weekday thefts are from 8 a.m. to 10 am. and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Campus Police estimate half of all bike thefts occur on the weekends while owners are off-campus. Continued on page ten. Officials warn students to be wary of local high schoo! youths congregating outside dorms and classrooms. Indivi- duals seen on campus with bolt cutters should be reported to police immediately. Several vehicles are wanted § in connection with bike thefts at ECU. They include: an old-model green or blue van, a green pickup truck, and a white Volkswagon var. A standing reward of $25 is offered to persons providing information leading to the arrest and conviction of bicycle thieves at ECU. STIFF FINES Persons arrested for stealing bikes here are charged by campus police and placed in the city jail. According to Chief Calder, bike thieves normally receive harsh punishment from local judges. Recently, a person convicted of stealing three bikes at ECU was fined $500 and placed on probation for three years. Official schoo! policy toward persons convicted of bike theft is determined on a case-by-case basis. Expulsion from school, although possible, automatic, explained Dean of Men James Mailory. However, any student placed on hail is locked. In case of a fire, who would hear one student hollering for the key? probation by a court of law is also automatically placed on “continuing probation” by the university. ECU students are encouraged to use several precautions to discourage potential bike thieves. When not in use, bikes should be locked to an immovable object with a good (usually expensive) lock and cable (cables are harder to cut than chains). Smai!l amounts of spray paint can be used to give a bike unique and readily identifiable markings. BIKE REGISTRATION Above all, bikes should be registered with the campus police. Bike registration costs 50 cents at ECU. Forms are filied out detailing color, description, and the serial number of each bike. if a bike has no serial number, campus police will attach one free of charge. Authorities caution that, unless a missing bike is registered with the carnpus police prior to .the alleged theft, the chances of recovery are slim. “The best thing to do is to pay the 50 cents,” said Chief Caider. Presently, fifty unciaimed bicycles are d bicycle registration being held by campus police. Bikes continuing to go unclaimed are periodically solid to the public by sealed bid. Students are also advised not to leave bikes on campus during holiday Marshall Tucker to play here On November 13, Wednesday night at 8° p.m, there will be a Major Concert in Minges Coliseum. Special “The Marshall Tucker Band”, will start the show with an set. This will be followed by Dicky Betts, who will appear with his “An American Music Show’.

Saunders.

This place which lay far beyond the gothic spires of Dukes, and the copper dome of Wake, was shrouded by a misty veil of ignorance and neglect which impoverished the spirit of the peopie and brought great sadness to the hearts of native sons. And good intentioned warriors rose up to combat the tide of tradition but alas, the enlightenment in the east was not to be, and wise men just shook their heads in sorrow and turned their tearful eyes to the learned “Hill” in the west, to the land where the heads were of egg,and the feet of tar. where the fountain of knowledge flowed from the old well, and the prophets of “wisdom” guided the pathes of men Now it came to pass that a stranger from the north came unto this place one early morning, and from his silver steed saw the great sadness that enveloped the hearts of men, and he knew that he must bring the light of education unto the children of larkness, so he withdrew his book of checks and antiquated scabbard of time and set about the arduous task In the beginning Leo said, “Let there be a school that we may bring the light of education unto our chiidren.” And it was done. Thus the moming and the evening of the first day Then Leo said, “Let there be chidren of all numbers and persuasions to come unto us that they may partake of this fruit of enlightenment.”’ And brothers and sisters, both black and white journeyed unto the east. The moming and the evening of the second Jay On the third day Leo said of his school, “Let there be bureaus and departments without number that we may rejoice in the tape of red”. And he saw that it ws done, and rejoiced therein Jn the moming of the fourth day he said, “Let us make a covenant to science whereupon did a sea of computer cards fail upon the children, upon which was writ“Do not fold, bend or mutilate!” And he saw that it was good On the morning of the fifth day Leo looked out over his glorious creation and spaketh, ‘What Ho! My brethern jet us build great monuments of concrete and cinder block that our Children may dwell in the midst of our great «ingdom serve as a reminder of the one who brought them out from the darkness”. And he saw that it was “finger-lickin’ good.” Now on the morning of the sixth day he gathered together his loyal trustees and journeyed unto distant and hostile lands in search of noble sons and daughters and the ring of bullion that his school might have a new image, and changed its narmeaccording thus saying, “Hence forth we shali no longer be the “T.C.” of “E.C.”, but rather the ‘University of the East On the evening of the sixth day he returned to his beloved creation and lifted his eyes Out over the twinkling lights of its great hall, and saw that it was good, then threw a wiid party in celebration of the blessed event On the moming of the seventh dayhe slept in until the evening of the seventh day. And then he arose saying, “Aw shucks, let there be an eighth day!” And he invited nis followers, and the sons of the “Buccaneer” to his palace again to celebrate once more Now at this time there was a distant rumbling in the west. And the scribes mocked him saying, “What manner of man art this Leo, who brings this light unto the land of nod? And the scholars on the “Hill” cried forth while murmurs of discontent and Suspicion saying, “Who is this Apostolate of arrogance that dares to Question the ways of tradition? Shall we not rise up and smote this acerbic acaderm? Damned be this rebellious son of Nod!” And far to the east Leo listened to their discourse and smiled unto himself. Dammed if he wasn't Now before ail of this had come to pass there were great clouds of darkness that had dwelied over the entire land for many years, and these clouds brought much sorrow to tne hearts of people, and great anguish to the poll of tne politician, (who was many sheckied and multiplied beyond all understanding). Now from a distance the young Leo watched the clouds rise and burst upon the land, that he might learn the ways of a true leader, and the hustle of the “prophet of popularity” (whose mouth was full of tongue, but whose heart was full of goodness) The young Leo remembered the shameful summers of the early years in the sixth decade when there was an integration of hate and intolerance on the part of the nghteous. “For there were those children among the people whose skins were black, BOF the fatted calf they were left sucking hind-tit, And they were the pickers of cotton shiners of shoes for in the words of the white psaimist, ‘they had plenty of aNd nuthin’ was plenty for them.’ And it was decreed that they should sit Dm the seats of the mighty yea even unto the restrooms. Now it came to pass a prophet rose up amongst them and they called him king and he went unto Dan and said, ‘Let my people goto the front of the bus’ Wherefore did the King ble a great host and he led them unto the lunch counters of the land and asked for and they gave him a stone in the head. And he was set upon by fierce dogs, ich are the man’s best friend) Now the avenging angel Carmichael cried out ‘Give me some men that are blax hearted men for ours is the kingdom and glory and the black power’. And the YOUNG men girded up their loins and there were burnt offerings in the streets and the summer waxed long and hot. And it was the Molatov cocktail hour and there was a mashing of teeth and a smashing of windows and the people descended upon the merchants and low. thera was instant credit. And the King saw what was happening and spake out, ‘Rende, unto Sears that thing which is Sears’, for what profiteth a man to gain a color t.v and loge his soul brother. Then the King journeyed unto the city of Memphis and said ‘Ye pe overcome’, but a foul assasain rose up against him and slew the King and there were wailings and lamentations in the land”and these things did sadden Leo and he Made note of them that he might never see the days again Now in those days a great and mighty Pharoah did rule the land, and he was Called L.B J. and he stood strong and tall ammong all Texan boss men. And of his people B J did speak,Of al! of the fruits of this great society you may eat save one. the fruit of dissent, for verily Say until you whosoever eats the forbidden fruit will surely persih toa sting of wasps.” And the children of the land trembled when L.B.J. spoke “for there was a great draft”. From their neon tubes they watched the speckeied birds of steel sending mighty streaks of fire unto the ground upon the heads of the followers of the prophet Ho And they were sore afraid and trembled in valley of the shadow Now there were those among their number who cried out against the atrocities and took their banners unto the instutitions of leamingyea even unto the classroom and administration buildings. And they remained that the elders might listen and take heed But alas, they did not and the guard was called out to welcome the children with a Carpet of red Now at this time it happened that a great election did fall upon the people and mighty candidates did strive forth for the vacancy created by the retiring Pharoah L.B.J. And the children’s cries were heard by ashepherdfrom the hills of Minnesota called Eugene. who took up the torch and brought it unto the precincts. But the foliowers of L. BJ nx cked m calling him a dove among hawks. And the battle lines began to form as primary time drew nigh, with the children of peace on the left, and the regulars ied by their new champion Hubert on the right. And between them was the valley of the generation gap But the battle was all for naught, for the job fell onto another of comely origin and pendulous jowl, whose wife wore a republican cloth coat, and whose virtue was as pure as a hound's tooth. And he made things perfectly clear from that day forth Now as Leo looked on at these many problems that confronted the pati: °s of men. he became wise, so that he too should not stumble in their footsteps. And thus i! was then that he heard the great rumble of “the wise” in the west. For he saw that the light unto the east was good and said, “Let us bring medicine and law unto our people that they may truly revel in the glow of enlightenment.” But the rumbiing in the west grew louder and some from the “Hill” called for a silence to be put unto Leo. And said, “If we must accept this fate let us make a school in our image that people may know that they are there to serve we, the learned.” But Leo stood firm and the tumult grew louder, and he was great for he knew that his path was righteous and that the light of glory would fal! on him and not on Friday, thus he was patient, and the tumult grew louder still, and some of the children of the east trembled in the shadow of the west, and the giant Firday drew near to the people rising high above them and striking terror into the hearts of men. But Leo gathered up his sling of legislators and siung a mighty vote which smote the giant between the polls and brought him down to his ram knees, and the people of the east rejoiced But alas the victory was just a beginning, and the scribes of the west called those of the east “Pirates”, and returned to their halis for counsel and new battle Strategy. And the wise Leo knowing he had won only one battle of a long war set out to challenge them once again, and thus set his sights on the lofty position of head Pharoah of the whole kingdom that he might bring more light unto the east, And the storm began to rise again but Leo faltered not saying, “Verily say until you, those which were first shal! be last and those which were heels shall be biue” And thus it began Let us pray STEVE THE DREAM’ Returns Monday Nov. 11 at the 8 until ELBO ROOM 60’s SHOW Trivia Contest Dance Contest Lots of Prizes Soul Music Beach Music Beatles All 60’s Hits IQq 4! lec BY it of Oa reat ynty And and and ed INty the ‘80 ew ure 63a ry sSt ve 5 Challenge Appa FOUNTAINHEADVOL. 6, NO. 187 NOVEMBER 1974 5 lachian Trail ECU Rec.

Among those that were experienced in this form of recreation, and capable leaders for such a trip are the three officers of the ECU Recreation Society, Bub Cowan, presi- dent, Dave Kyle, vice-president, and Julia Derrough, secretary-treasurer - For lunch and dinner Famous Hamburgers Bub, a twenty-two year oid junior at ECU from Windsor, N.C worked with the ESEA program here last year, which involved teaching small children recreation techniques, and he is a PRCA major. His main area of interest in PRCA is in Commercial and Community Recreations. When asked to comment on the Appalachian trail trip, he said, “Overall, it was a great trip. The way see this trip, as well as the others we'll be taking in the future, is the same way see the ‘Society’ itself: It's a way of fulfilling Numan needs. This involves feliowship, cooper- ation, and determination, in addition to many other factors. feel that we accomplished ai! of these things over the weekend. The scenery was unbelievabie and the friendliness of the wildlife was really amazing. Being out with nature like we were is so vital, think. The only aspect of the whole trip that didn’t like was ail the rules and regulations that the Shenandoah National Park had set up. In my opinion the rules didn’t help, as they are designed to do; they hendered us. For example, instead of limiting the number of people that can hike the trail. they limit the things you can do. We couldnt use the trai! sneiters originally built for backpackers, instead, we had to go oul about 250 yards in the woods, away from any established trail or road which puts you away from any water supply. We had to walk sometimes a quarter of a mile just to get water. Because of such rules as this, a backpacker can’t thoroughly enjoy himself. Nevertheless, had a really good timeonly, next time, I'm going to try to be more physically fit and prpared for it! think everybody that went intends to do the same!” Watch for Part ii of the ECU Rec Society's hike on the Appalachian Trai! in Tuesday's paper. “a , as FOUNTAINHEAD VOL. 6, NO. 187 NOVEMBER 1974 i. — Reviews c a « EI Christopher Parkeningthe Master JEFF ROLLINS tendency of many musicians to become ‘The kind of music ! like depends on Staff Writer too specialized and know nothing but Virtuous are those who Naving nastered the technical aspects of an istrumMent, go on to Open new doors, to music.
