Dorm students told to
remove appliances
By HELENA WOODARD
Assistant News Editor
Several dorm residents, especially in
Cotten, Jarvis and Fleming Halls, were
recently given deadlines to remove from
their rooms all electrical appliances
exceeding wattage regulations, according
to Dan K. Wooten, ECU housing director.
Other residents were asked to limit the
operation of appliances also exceeding
regulation as specified by the handbook,
"Living at ECU
1000 WATTS
According to the handbook, electrical
appliances used for cooking must not
exceed 1000 watts, and only one appliance
may be used per room at any given time.
Also, refrigerators are limited to a
maximum of 2.5 cubic feet in size with a
maximum consumption of 50 watts.
"We've had problems in the three
oldest dorms. It is a matter of inadequate
wiring to accomodate the appliances being
used Wooten said.
"Through some spot checking, we
found that students use 1200 att frying
pans and 1500 watt ovens at the same
time, causing an overload he added.
STUDENTS ASKED TO LIMIT
Wooten said students are asked to limit
electrical power usage themselves.
"This problem came up Fall Quarter of
last year. We asked for student
cooperation and we got it he said.
Wooten was asked what steps Housing
would take to enforce power conservation
if voluntary methods failed.
CUTTING POWER
"As far as I know, no one has
considered cutting off the power between
certain hours. If students don't conform, it
will cause hardships on everyone he
answered.
According to a Cotton Hall resident,
who asked not to be named, students were
not given sufficient advance notice on the
amount of power and appliances they
could use in the dorms.
"I've had my refrigerator for two years.
No one told me that it was larger than
regulations required she said.
UPGRADE INFORMATION
Wooten said he hoped to upgradu
information for next school year and to
have available the total wattage to be used
at any one given time.
"Any requirements we make would
apply to all the dorms on campus he
said.
Wooten added that students who
signed up for dorm rooms last May were all
given copies of the student handbook,
"Living at ECU and incoming students
were mailed copies of the handbook during
the summer.
"Everyone living on campus has had
access to this book he said.

By JAMES PERRY
Staff Writer
In June, 1972, Congress enacted a
series of legislation entitled the Education
Amendments of 1972. Considered at the
start only slightly, one article has risen
SGA scheduled
to hear bills
The Student Government Legislature is
scheduled Monday to hear three
appropriations bills if approved by
committee.
The legislatures will be asked to approve
the SGA Lxecutive Council and
Transportation budgets.
A legislative reform bill will also be
heard.
It would entail hiring a part-time
legislative clerk to handle some of the
secretarial duties of the speaker's office.
Whether these bills will be heard as is,
recommended for change, or killed
depends upon the Appropriations
Committee.
This committee met last night to
;onsider these bills.
SGA legislature meets in the Assembly
Room on the second floor of Mendenhall
Student Center.
among heated confrontation between the
educational institutions and the Federal
Government.
Effective July 21, 1975 Federal
legislation known as Title IX will bring
about a further diminishing of sexual
discrimination in education. This law
states:
"No person in the United States shall
on the basis of sex, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to discrimination under
any educational program or activity
receiving Federal financial assistance
Why were educational institutions
involved in legislation concerning sexual
discrimination? During hearings on this
new law, testimony was heard on existing
policies in the educational sphere. This
testimony was enough to convince
legislatures that the inclusion was not only
necessary, but deserved special attention.
Last Tuesday afternoon the ECU
Affirmative Action Program for Equal
Employment Opportunities held a
workshop in Brewster 102. The overall
purpose of this meeting was to further
organize ECU'S Title IX Program.
In a two hour session Dr. David
Stevens, ECU attorney, and Mr. Dick Farris
Assistant Director of the ECU Equal
Opportunity Program, gave an overview
and discussed the establishment of the
program with approximately 50 faculty and
students.
The program has been underway with
subcommittees being assigned to review
individual sections in an effort to spot
discrimination and realign the policies in
that area. These committees will be
covering areas from admissions to
athletics.
The general purpose of the program
will not only be the compliance with Title
IX, but the establishment of written
guidelines of procedures and the
implementation of actions which will
realign potential discriminatory areas.
Furthermore, the program must evaluate
its progress, publicize its intentions and
establish a feedback for media.
All of these efforts must be completed
by July 1976 in order to avoid
governmental intervention in the funding.
The athletic department will be the one
exception. They will be allowed until July
1978 to meet full compliance.
"Athletics" will encompass all sports
which are inter-scholastic, intercollegiate,
club or intramural in nature. Mirror
programs are not always necessary but
they must be comparatioe.
Indications thus far indicate that
governmental enforcement will be strict.
With the economy in its present condition
failure to comply could prove quite
disastrous to many institutions.
wtmm
Ideally Title IX would be a definite
improvement towards eliminating sexual
discrimination. Improvements will be
made in admission testing, off-campus job
assistance, and the obtaining of
comparable athletic facilities and
off-campus housing.
There is, however, a large amount of
confusion involved with this law. A
hypothetical example was raised during
the workshop session. Since there can be
no discrimination of pregnant females, a
student nurse, working in pediatrics ward
while in early stages of pregnancy, could
be exposed to measles endangering her
child.

Med school casualty
During a recent meeting of the North Carolina Association of Student
Governments meeting in Chapel Hill, ECU SGA president Jimmy Honeycutt
asked some rather interesting questions concerning the failure of the University
of North Carolina Board of Governors to reappoint the Chairman of the ECU
Board of Trustees back to the Board this past summer.
Raleigh Businessman Roddy L. Jones, who had served as Chairman of the
ECU Board fc, two years, was not reappointed to the ECU Board by the UNC
Governors when his term expired this summer.
Honeycutt, during a question and answer round with UNC Board of
Governors Chairman William Dees, asked the UNC Chairman what the criteria
were in making appointments to the local Board of Trustees and specially why
Jones was not reappointed to the ECU group.
According to Honeycutt, Dees listed at least four objectives in making
appointments to the various Boards of Trustees. Dees, according to Honeycutt,
contended that the Board wanted 1) to get members of the ECU group from
various parts of the state, 2) get more minorities and women as Trustees, 3) get
people who were dedicated to the university, 4) make sure the people who
served had not done so for a long time.
To this Honeycutt pointed out that Jones was dedicated, he had served for
only two years as Chairman of the Board, that he was from Raleigh and that of
the new members of the Board, none were black or women.
Honeycutt shot Dees' answer so full of holes that it no doubt would whistle
when the wind blows.
Jones, who had done an outstanding job as chairman of the ECU Board, was
just another med school casualty-whether Dees cares to admit it or not.
The meeting in which Jones' reappointment came up came right after the
North Carolina General Assembly had appropriated the funds for the ECU med
school-a med school that the UNC group had fought for so long.
In light of the fact that the UNC group had fought the med school so long,
but that ECU iorces had still succeeded in getting the medical facility, the UNC
Board had to show that it still could flex a little muscle over its member school
in Greenville.
And, failing to reappoint Jones was the most handy way to show who was
still boss.
So, despite the interest and dedication that Jones had shown for the
university since being on the Board, despite the continued good he could do
for the school, the UNC Board, in all its infinite wisdom, failed to reappoint
Jones.
Dees can list all the objectives he wants when explaining the failure of the
Board to reappoint Jones.
But. Jones was simply another ECU med school casualty.
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without
newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter

Greeks deserve thanks
Homecoming week began last Sundav, officially but the real heart of the
festivities will begin Thursday and run through Saturday night.
There have been several events staged so far for Homecoming and all have
drawn good size crowds. The high point of the week so far, at least as far as
most male students are concerned, was the Linda Ronstadt concert held
Tuesday night.
Friday nights Ike and Tina Turner concert is expected to be close to a sellout
and then the parade Saturday is expected to draw a large crowd. The game
Saturday afternoon with Western Carolina and the line-up of bands for Saturday
night will also create a lot more student interest.
The all time low for interest in the ECU event came several years ago when
there was not even a Homecoming parade. But since then renewed interest has
been shown in Homecoming by both the student body and the administration
and the result is this year's event-one of the school's best ever.
Of course having a variety packed Homecoming line-up does not just
happen. Hundred.0 of "student-hours" go into the event.
Planning beg n soon after the homecoming in 1974. This just did not
happen.
And, a lot of the credit-about 95 percent of the credit-must go to Greeks on
campus.
Fraternities and sororities catch a lot of flack from everybody on campus.
Very few times do they get the credit they deserve.
Homecoming is a good case in point. Without the work of the Greeks,
Homecoming would be a big flop.
The Greeks are in charge of the parade, sponsor most of the floats for the
parade, run the Homecoming queen contest, and to do most of the house
decorations.
So for once let's give credit where credit is duethe Greeks at ECU deserve
thanks from everyone for helping make Homecoming what it is.

Questions about Dixie, memorial fund raised
To Fountainhead:
The Homecoming edition of Fountain-
head brought to mind two issues which
have been seemingly forgotten by
members of the staff and administration.
It seems that the staff of the School of
Music has forgotten there was once a
"Theme from Dixie After an absence of
six years from the campus, primarily due
to the 1969 Marching Pirates and campus
issues of that year, I feel it would be a fine
gesture to the alumni if whoever is in
charge of song selection for the band
would try to get "Dixie" on the agenda for
Saturday's homecoming football game.
After all, this is a southern school and
there will be alumni present who will
remember when the song was a part of
every football game.
In 1970, the Marshall football team
played in Ficklen Stadium and on its return
to West Virginia the plane crashed and the
football team perished. This was reported
in the special editiion for homecoming.
But what was not reported is that there
was a fund, a Marshall University Fund,
started to raise money for a monument at
the East gate of Ficklen Stadium in
memory of that team. Local representa-
tives of the football team, coaches, and
broadcasters were touched to say the
least.
Money was collected at every major
intersection in Greenville under the same
technique as the United Fund uses now.
Local county schools were canvassed for
support. Businessmen donated support
and money.
The efforts to collect ceased and it was
assumed the necessary amount had been
raised, but as of yet there is no monument
at Ficklen Stadium.
It seems to reason that if enough
money was raised, the monument would
More election criticism
To Democratic Student Concerned:
Instead of following your sarcastic
letter of October 14, in the same manner, I
am restraining myself and being outright
blunt. Although it took the knowledge of a
peon to come up with such suggestions, if
you are now a member of the SGA - then
have some of your fellow students wake
up. Half the people in the legislature don't
have any idea what is being done by the
SGA or what is going on with people on
What happened
to the lights?
To Fountainhead:
On the evening of Wednesday, October
8 (or was it the morning of Thursday,
October 9), the power was somehow
mysteriously cut off in Scott Dorm for an
hour. What happened, I don't know, but I
do know that myself, and two other
members of my suite almost missed a test
in our first class of the day. Because I
arrived in the classroom late (9:40 for my
9:00 class) I missed 40 minutes of my test.
The teacher eventually gave me 20 more
minutes, for which I am thankful, but this
still wasn't enough time to take an hour
test. Perhaps an explanation and an
apology (though that won't help my
average) can be tendered from the proper
authority.
Thank you,

In answer to:
1) Since academics are the most
important thing associated with a college,
a 2.0 average should definitely be
considered. It is hard to believe the
common writers for the Fountainhead can
even read in your terms. After all, they
must be blind and not have any brains to
know what is going on, if you think they
are biased, then you are too. Everyone is
entitled to their own opinion (even you).
Paper position
draws support
To Fountainhead:
It appears that your paper has gotten
under the skin of the powers that be in the
SGA, (Shoddy Government Association) as
the Concerned Democratic Student called
it.
I hope the student body finds out just
who the Concerned Democratic Student
was. The word I hear is that it was none
other than "Sweet Jimmy" Honeycutt
himself.
To bad Jimmy does not spend his time
trying to correct the election mistakes
instead of writing cute letters to the paper.
Jimmy should have been a writer
instead of a student politician. From what I
have seen he is not much of either.
Keep up the good work Fountainhead.
Your Friend on the Hill
2) Let's face it, as far as SGA is
concerned the Greeks do have a monopoly
going. Would you prefer me proving this
by having a list printed of everyone who
ran for election and give their status
(Greek, GDI, or "Social Affiliate") and GP
average. Then I'll print a list of who won.
Bless their hearts for the points they
receive with IFC and Panhellenic for their
own house. What concern!
3) The "no hour credit" the Greeks had
to put up with bothers me. Only because
GDI's had to do the same thing. I'll never
forget the time, last year, I saw one fellow -
Fred Frat - stuffing ballots into a box that
were not legal. I know his name also.
4) Can't say I agree with your polling
places. The "real places" on campus for
voting were approved last year by the
legislature. Since The Prodigal Son feels
himself capable of saying what is right and
wrong, or what polls should be opened on
campus - then who needs the legislature.
(Side comment: You should have included
the Crows Nest for 2 till 6 a.m. voung.)
Well DSC, you are probably thinking
this GDI that likes the Fountainhead is a
nut. Guess what Buster, besides having
been with "GDI and Fountainhead I have
also been associated with the SGA, Greeks
and Student Union. That's what's so bad
about it, I've seen them all. And it hasn't
been from the surface, but with
involvement. And the writing says it, and
it's so.

Thought for the day

Thomas Gray
How many people do we hurry by each
day with "Hi, how are you? without even
stopping to listen. Sure this has evolved
into a sign of greeting, but do we really
care how that persons feels. People, often
the very ones we ignore, have so much to
offer. Our stopping for a moment to listen,
be concerned, may be the very spark that

brightens up their day or even our own!
Many people are out there, waiting for a
chance to share the fragrance of their
thoughts and feelings. Do we ever think
about old folks homes, jails, sheltered
workshops. Flowers need watering, people
need love, some show of affection.
Perhaps if slowed down just a moment, we
could realize what we have to offer others
and they to us. Many people have been

take time to care.

have been erected. If sufficient money had
not been raised and the money was placed
in a bank, the interest compounded in this
length of time would surely make up the
difference.
These two issues were mentioned
either directly or indirectly in the
Homecoming edition of Fountainhead
Perhaps the Fountainhead staff or the
school administration can provide insight
into both or either.
Sincerely,

Reader
rebuffs
Off the Cuff
To Fountainhead:
Re: Off the Cuff, October 9th.
I was just reading your article on page 4
in the October 9th edition of the
Fountainhead. I get the impression from
reading what you have written that you are
not really concerned about the matter of
Heaven and Hell. Maybe this lack of
concern stems from a lack of knowledge
concerning what the Bible teaches.
Whatever the casethe Lord knpws your
heart.
I'm sending along a few Gospel tracts
for you to read. Consider them carefully. I
know that you can agree with me when I
say that there is a day coming when both
you and I must die. Have you considered
where you may be five minutes after your
death?
The Bible, as God's word, teaches that
we can be assured of Heaven as our
destination. To get to Hell requires no
effort and there will be many there
including a lot of so called "religious"
people. To get to Heaven requires simply
that you (1) recognize yourself as a sinner
before God (Romans 3:10, 23), (2) realize
that sin bears the death penalty (Romans
6:23). (3) believe that Jesus Christ died in
you r place to pay your sin debt and (4) turn
from rn and ask Jesus Christ into your
heart and life as Saviour and Master
(Romans 10:9, 10, 13).
In conclusion, Jim, let me just say that
the best things in life are free. God's gift of
eternal life through Jesus Christ is also
free. Jim, what will you do with Jesus
Christ?

The trials and tribulations of a pirate
football fan
By PAT COYLE
Staff Writer
For years I've wondered what it would be like to be a part of that great American
institution, the vocal minority. On Saturday, October 11, I finally found out.
As I approached the Citadel's Johnson Haygood Stadium with my five close friends
(all launch Citadel supporters), I laughingly pointed out a sheet emblazoned with
'Smash the Pirates Obviously the work of a cockeyed optimist, I observed. At this point
my five pals gravitated away from me, and I thought I saw a nearby cadet making obscene
gestures at me.
tVe seated ourselves behind a very prolific couple with nine children, all sporting
pom-poms, cowbells, etc.
The game started calmly enough. The father led his clan in some cheers, with my five
companions joining in. Their racket didn't bother me, in fact I admired their precise
chorus of "Go, Bulldogs, go, HEY HEY HEY
The real problems began when ECU scored. Overcome by intense school spirit, I
arose, screaming "HEY HEY HEY HEY, E.C you look so good to me
At this point, 9 overzealous children thrust their pom-poms into my face, while one of
the people I'd come with jerked me down to my seat (he said it was for my own good).
The conflict grew with the progression of the game. When "Big Daddy" and his
entourage screamed "DEFENSE I countered with "OFFENSE
Halftime came, and none too soon. I was able to meter the action of the game
according to the timing of the numerous verbal assaults made to my intelligence, purity,
and political beliefs.
After watching the Official Charleston Flappers rendition of the dance that made the
cit i famous (or vice-versa), I wandered down to the concession area to refresh myself and
I eek out some other members of the "minority

Smiling knowingly at him, I made my way back to the stands.
I was overwhelmed to find that my five former friends had permanently vacated their
seats. There was a note on my seat wishing me good luck in finding a ride home.
Things were looking pretty low third quarter. Oh, the team was doing fine, but I felt
rejected; sitting alone, ignored but for one occasional assault of a pom-pom.
Suddenly there was a ray of hope. Several young men behind me joined in my
half-hearted cheer; then five or six more moved into the seats vacated by my traiterous
friends.
As tears of gratitude streamed down my face I asked them why they had suddenly
chosen to support the Pirates.
One of them shrugged and explained that they were servicemen, and didn't really care
who won until they saw my plight.
With renewed spirit, I led my new friends in support of the Pirates. The wave of
enthusiasm grew and flourished through the victorious finish of the game.
As I made my way through the crowd of dejected bulldogs, I heard one of "Big
Daddy's" children ask him why the Citadel lost. He shook his head, saying, "injustice,
dear. Pure injustice
My friend, the cadet approached, hand poised and ready to form his favorite
obscenity. I looked him straight in the eye and raised my fist triumphantly toward the
sky. His hand fell, he mumbled something about red-necked Commie freaks, then
marched quietly into oblivion

An extension of this service is a
iheltered workshop where the individual

fuation.
Greenville has an excellent vocational
rehabilitation service and also a fast
wing Eastern Carolina Sheltered
Workshop. The Workshop is directed by
Mr Howard Dawkins who comments, 'We
worked with 33 individuals the first year,
now we work with over 200 and have a
waiting list of clients. Work done in terms
i money was over $200,000 last year
When an individual is accepted by the
workshop he must go through a six week
evaluatation program to determine his
work skills, then he is placed in an
adjustment program to train and prepare
him for work. Finally he is put into an
actual work situation either publically or
inside the workshop.Jobs performed
inside the workshop are furniture
retinishing, chair caning, picture framing,
making pallets and sub-contract work.
m
The sub-contract work is usually within
industries such as Empire Brush,
Burroughs Welcome and Proctor and
Gamble.
Jim Mullen and Ron Hartenis, both
ECU graduates are evaluaters for the
Workshop.Mullen says, 'We have just
spent $7,000 on work samples, which is an
improved method of determining a clients
potential job skills. This method should
make it faster and easier for us to evaluate
clients. We also have an internship
program which used ECU students in
psychology and recreation and cocial
services
Butch Brown, another ECU grao 9
has worked as a counselor for fi
years, The Workshop is a blessing to many
people in terms of realizing human
potential. We exercise the utmost patience
with our clients and work with them for
years if they show improvement
For the people at the Eastern Carolina
Sheltered Workshop there is always hope
and enthusiam for the process of change.

(CPS)Today's job market is friendly to
college students who majored in business,
engineering, computer science or the
physical sciences, according to a recent
study conducted by the Western College
Placement Association.
The study sampled more than 100
recruiting officers from 17 industries,
ranging from accounting and aerospace to
government and utilities. This group has
hired more than 75 percent of all college
graduates for their respective firms since
1972.
Business and engineering majors
received the highest ranking in choice of
applicants, the study found, while those in
the social sciences and humanities were
ranked a 3.2 and 3.7 respectively on a scale
of five.
In liberal arts, only communications
majors received a positive ranking from
the majority of employer groups.
Education and ethnic studies majors
received only two "slightly positive"
ratings, while fine arts majors came up
with no positive rating.
The recruiters' priorities in selecting
job candidates were:
-Major field of study, academic
performance, work performance and the
results of job interviews;
-Extracurricular activities, recom-
mendations of former employers,
academic activities and awards;
-Type of college or university
attended, and recommendations from
either faculty or school officials, and
Standard test scores, military rank or
draft status.
Recruiters still count appearance
heavily the study also found, with
short-haired, suit-wearing males and bra-
wearing females receiving the highest
consideration.

ECU Playhouse opens season with world premiere
The East Carolina Playhouse will open
its bicentennial season with a world
premiere production, The Flight Brothers
a musical history of Orville and Wilbur
Wright.
The 1975-76 season includes two
musicals, two award winning plays and
one opera masterpiece, with the first show
opening Oct. 28 in McGinnis Auditorium.
The Flight Brothers is straight from the
heart of America. It is filled with warm and
tender musical moments reminiscent of
songs from our country's turn of the
century. As a musical comedy, The Flight
Brothers has everything; big production
numbers with dances, comic songs and
beautiful ballads. The opener runs Oct.
28-Nov. 1.
The second show, Who's Happy Now? ,
is a modern comedy first produced at the
prestigious Mark Taper Forum in Los
Angeles; it then toured successfully
throughout the country to open as a much
acclaimed off-Broadway hit in New York.
This warmhearted and perceptive
comedy is concerned with a bizarre
boyhood in the bosom of an offbeat and
memorable Texas family.
The third show, The Rimers of
Eldritch , won the Vernon Rice Award and
irtroduced a new and talented playwright,
Lanford Wilson, who has since written the
smash hit, Hot 'L Baltimore. In The
Rimers of Eldritch, Wilson employs a
unique chronological technique to capture
the eloquence and insight and the very
heart and meaning of the small
middlewestern town of Eldritch.
The fourth show, The Contrast,
originally came to light as an early
American version of the comedy of
manners, written in 1778 by Royal Tyler. It
was first staged in New York in 1787 and
its production marked the beginning of
professional theatre in the newly-born
United States.
Don Pippin has written a musical score
of this already charming play and the
result has been one rave review after
another. The Contrast is a natural addition
to any '76 season.
The fifth show, La Traviata , is the
beautifully romantic opera masterpiece by
Giuseppe Verdi. La Traviata is based on
another romantic classic, La Dama Aux
Camelias by Alexandra Dumas fils.
The story of a lovely, fashionable
courtesan who falls in love with a young
man and eventually dies in his arms-of
tuberculosis, La Travita will be sung in
English. The ECU School of Music and the
East Carolina Playhouse will co-produce
the opera.

Playhouse's bicentennial season are on

Economics professor completes
publication of bibliography
ByJOHNDAYBERRY
Staff Writer
Dr. Joseph W. Romita, associate
professor of economics at ECU, has
completed a publication entitled "A
Bibliography of Selected Readings for Use
by Candidates and Others Striving for the
Chartered Life Underwriters Designation
(CLU)
Romita received a research grant last
summer from the ECU Business
Foundation to complete the "Biblio-
graphy
The work was done at the American
College of Life Underwriters in Bryn Mawr,
Pa according to Romita.
"In my research, I found the life
insurance business far from static said
Romita.
"Changes in methods, and practices
have occurred regularly.
"Under such circumstances, this
bibliography contains the periodic
revisions so necessary to the life insurance
business
Romita has supervised all CLU
examinations in Eastern North Carolina.
The American College sponsors the
examinations, and study courses leading
to the CLU designation for those directly
engaged in life, and health insurance, as
well as those in associated financial, legal,
educational, and governmental profes-
sions.
Prior to coming to Greenville in 1965,
Romita taught CLU courses in finance, and
economics in Central Florida.

Pub Board
includes
Minority
publications
The Publications Board has approved
new by-laws for the year that includes
bringing any campus minority publication
under its control.
Those by-laws have been sent to the
SGA and must be accepted by that body
before final approval is assured. The Pub
Board presently controls operations of
Fountainhead, Buccaneer and the Rebel.
Committee members contended that all
public student publications should be
under the direct control of the Pub Board.
"If there is going to be a minority
publication then they should have to
follow the same rules and guidelines as do
the other campus publications Pub
Board Chairperson Diane Taylor explained.
Last year, for the first time ever, the
SGA funded a minority publication, the
Ebony Herald. Funds for the publication
came directly from the SGA. Pub BOard
nandles all budget matters for the three
other publications and also controls
publication practices and sets policy for
the three publications along with selecting
editors for the three.
Research grants
awarded
A total of $218,313 was awarded ECU
during the month of September for support
of four campus research or service
projects.
Primary source of the tunds were two
state agencies. The N.C. Department of
Human Resources awarded $130,780 to Dr.
Marlene G. Irons, director of the ECU
Developmental Evaluation Clinic for a
prekindergarten screening program.
The N.C. Drug Commission gave
$65,777 to the ECU Regional Drug Program
to continue its outreach program in
eastern N.C.
Other grants were: an award of $18,883
to Dr. Vila M. Rosenfeld of the ECU School
of Home Economics to support a food and
nutrition occupational education project.
The funds originated from the American,
Home Economics Association.
Dr. David S. Phelps of the ECU
anthropology faculty received $2,873 from
William F. Freeman Associates to support
an archaeological survey of the Swift Creek
Watershed in Pitt County.

WCU coach has dim outlook of Saturday's game
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Western Carolina, this year's Home-
coming foc'ball opponent, is going
through one of those years which make
coaches grow old early.
After winning 41 games over the last
six seasons, the Catamounts have opened
this season with an unimpressive 2-3
record. The Catamounts start has head
coach Bob Waters puzzled.
"I can't put my finger on what is the
matter exactly said Waters. We fell flat
on our bottoms last week. We didn't seem
to know what we were doing and we
haven't. I'm just hoping we improve, but I
think we've got too many youngsters
playing
Last week Western Carolina was
defeated by Wofford, 23-14, after it
appeared they were on the way back from a
disappointing start.
WCU opened up by losing to Toledo and
a poor East Tennessee State team, but
came back to beat Murray State and
Presbyterian in impressive fashion the
next two weeks.
Last week, however, the Catamounts
fell a giant step backwards and Waters
hopes they won't continue to regress
against ECU this weekend. If it does,
Waters is saying it could be a repeat
performance of the last time the two teams
met, when ECU won in 1963's
Homecoming contest. 50-0.
"Last time we played them, there were
a lot of happy people in Greenville said
Waters. "If we play like we did last
Saturday a lot of East Carolina fans will
thoroughly enjoy themselves
Despite what Waters has been saying
concerning this weekend's game, the ECU
coaching staff is approaching the
Catamounts cautiously, respecting them
as a team with a lot of talent.
The scouting report calls Western,
"the quickest team ECU's played this
year
On offense, the Cats operate out of a
Pro-I and like to pass. This year, however,
the passing game has been inconsistent.
When they don't pass, the Cats run the ball
and they have two good ball carriers in
tailback Darrell Lipford (no. 28) and
fullback Herb Cole (no. 24). Lipford and
Cole are both averaging 5.4 yards a carry.
Lipford has gained 597 yards on the
ground this year, including a record-set-
ting 231 yard day against Presbyterian, and
Cole has carried for 340 yards.
How effectively, ECU controls the WCU
running attack will have a bearing on how
the game goes, since they can't key on
one back.
The player all the pro scouts have been
watching, though, is tight end Mike Green,
(no. 87). At 6-3, 238 pounds, Green is the
most imposing figure on the field when
Western has the ball. Whether or not he
makes All-American could depend on the
type of season the Cats have.
Sports
Basketball practice starts
By JOHN EVANS
Spots Editor
Thp thumping sound of the roundball
on hardwood floors began yesterday at all
eight conference schools as the first
official day of NCAA regulation practice
began for basketball.
For approximately six weeks, it will be
sweat and more sweat in heated practice
and drills as the teams ready for their
season openers on Nov. 29th.
ECU will open its season on the 29th
when it travels to play the University of
Maryland in College Park, Maryland. The
Terps are perennially one of the nation's
top-ranked teams year after year, and their
coach Lefty Dreisell is one of the nation's
most colorful coaches.
As far as ECU's team is concerned,
coach Dave Patton will have a lot of talent
to work with, despite the loss of starters
Gregg Ashorn, Bob Geter and Donnie
Owens and sub Tom Marsh
Returning to the Pirates this year,
however, will be seven players from last
year's squad.
"We have a lot of people who can play
basketball said Patton, prior to the first
practice, "but we've got to see if they can
play together as a team. This is the true
mark of a successful team. We'll
just have to see what happens
Last year, the Pirates used a
run-and-shoot style of play, called the
"Celtic Influence" to turn out a 19-9 record
and a trip to the NCIT in Louisville, Ky.
Despite a taller team in 1975-76, Patton
doesn't plan to change the method of
attack any.
"We'll be doing the same thing as last
year and everybody knows what it will be.
We'll be pressing on one end and running
on the other end.
"All our people fit into this style of play
and that's what we'll be doing
Leading the Pirates will be Larry Hunt,
who made All-Conference was a
sophomore last year but may be switched
to forward.
That all depends on how quickly
freshman Tyrone Edwards develops at the
center spot. According to Patton, if
Edwards comes along quickly, Hunt could
be moved outside, with either Wade
Henkel, Earl Garner or Al Edwards.
The back court finds Buzzy Braman and
Reggie Lee returning, joined by freshman
Louis Crosby and Billy Dineen.
"We've got plenty of experience on the
squad and a lot of good freshman
prospects. We're looking towards a real
good year said Patton.
The basketball season is now underway
and, in six short weeks, once again the
sounds of "welcome to Pirate Country"
will be ringing out in Minges Coliseum.
Ml H
mmmmmmmmmmm
But the passing attack has been less
impressive this year than in the past. It
averaged 200 yards a game over the last six
years. This year, operating with two
quarterbacks, WCU has averaged only 118
yards a game passing. It has been Lipford
and Cole handling most of the offense.
On paper the defense seems to be
doing pretty well, but it has already given
up 106 points in five games. In eleven
games last year, WCU allowed only 77
points.
Leaders on the defense are end Bob
Jablonski (91) and Monfread Manns (63) on
the line and back Alan Corpening (no. 47)
in the secondary. Last week against
Wofford, the Cats were bent for 485 yards,
the worst defensive game the Cats have
played since Waters came to Western six
years ago.
To Waters, all that has happened so far
this year leads toward a dismal season the
rest of the way.
"Our future doesn't look very bright
unless we mature very quickly. ECU is
better than any team we play this year.
"They've been up and down this year,
but I'm impressed with their aggressive-
ness. They have showed they can play
both offense and defense well, but r
seemed to put the two together yet.

College at the Allied Health Field, if that happens to be your bag.
Also, ECU's cross country team will perform against Western Carolina, beginnir

Gametime starts at 1:30, in custom with the usual starting time over the past years,

Random Thoughts On A Big Day
In most cases, the material you are about to read would have appeared last week,
yhen the special edition hit the streets.
But since this writer has to keep up with his image of tardiness (most five-year
tudents are that way, you know; did you ever hear of one who planned on being a
ive-year scholar, all in undergraduate study?) it is appearing today, on the eve of the
ig event.
This event will seem terribly insignificant to at least 11,000 of East Carolina
Jniversity's 11,727 students, but it is at the same time something they all can be proud
f, this writer concluded.
So for those of you who will be incoherent by halftime of Saturday's game after ail,
ne has to look after his dose friends, this writer is bringing you a preview of things to
wne.
Saturday will be a big day in the lives of four East Carolina graduates who will be
iducted into the Sports Hall of Fame. Dave Alexander, Maurice Everette, Bill Holland
nd Ken Midyette will be the Pirates' honored guests at halftime ceremonies indicating
uch an honor as will be bestowed on all.
This writer realizes it may be hard for many people to feel anything towards a tailback
ho ran an old-fashioned Single-Wing offensea tennis player who was a star in the
tame before it became a national television travesty .a pitcher in the farm system of one
if the country's losingest professional baseball organizationsand another athlete who
�as a super performer at something most of us just do for fun, namely, jump in the
vater.
But take it from your favorite This Is True columnist:
They could all fit into this campus today, probably even more so than a lotthe few of
3u who read this column regularly. They are, in spite of different backgrounds, ages,
xl contributions to their respective fields while Pirates, solid people, people that ECU
an be proud of.
As a group they all are proud they could be Pirates, too.
"Playing ball at East Carolina was such a big thing in my life said Dave Alexander,
-ho holds parts or all of 11 Pirate football records. Alexander played in the mid60's for
e Pirates as a single-wing tailback. "I grew up so much while in Greenville and I am very
tankful for the people like Dr. Jenkins and Coach Stas who made it possible, both on
nd off the field
It was Alexander who probably, along with Ken Midyette, was the most touched by
he news of the award to be presented Saturday (strictly an opinion on this writer's part,
aken from brief conversations with each).
"It is such a great thing when a community can get behind a football team like the
eople do at East Carolina said Alexander. "Because whether everyone admits it or not,
ie community wins or is defeated along with the football team
Everette was "quite flabbergasted" and Holland was "deeply touched Midyette was
ery surprised, and his comment was almost poetic.
"I just can't imagine why the school should honor me when I am the one who owes
e school so much said Midyette, an Ail-American diver in the late '50's for the
AlA-affiliated Pirates.
So call me a softie (softy? who cares about spelling anyway?) if you so desire, as that
sn't important.
This writer just hopes he will be able to have as fond a remembrance for East Carolina
"hen he gets away from here as the Sports Hall of Fame inductees have.
They have earned any awards that can be given by the University. Show them you
ippreciation Saturday afternoon in Ficklen Stadium.
This writer would also like to chastize the young females who took it upon themselves
o discolor the walkway on the entrance to Minges Natatorium by painting not once, but
wice a sheet in the name of good ole' ECU.
A sorority? One would guess.
The good thing to do would be for you people to offer to clean up the mess prior to
iaturday's football game, lest you take the risk of being reprimanded publiclythat is,
nless there will be identical banners like yours in attendance.
We realize that there was no malice intended, but just the same, the discoloration on
hie sidewalk doesn't look good when you bring visitors (like the type who buy tickets) to
1e campus.
Well, you have had your warning.
Have a nice Homecoming '75, and remember that This Is True!

was a 38-10 victim to Georgia Tech. Two
other teams in the conference fell to
outside competition. Lenoir Rhyne
swamped Davidson, 69-14, and Ohio
defeated William and Mary, 22-0.
The conference finished with a 2-4
record against outside competition as
Furman beat Presbyterian, 35-7, and
Appalachian State downed East Tennessee
State by a 44-21 margin.
The conference tie between VMI and
Richmond won't last long, though, as the
two squads square off in Richmond in the
Spiders' traditional Tobacco Bowl. Both
teams will enter the game with identical
2-0 league records and 2-3 overall records.
ECU, now 2-2, moved into a tie for third
with Appalachian State and the Citadel,
who are both 1-1 in league play. The
remainder of the standings remained the
same, with Furman sixth and William and
Mary seventh and Davidson last.
In the VMI-Richmond matchup, the
interstate rivals will be meeting for the
59th time, with VMI leading the series,
33-20-5. Richmond has won the last eight
meetings between the teams, however.
Against Georgia Tech, VMI was
subjected to an awesome offensive
machine, which piled up 580 yards total
offense against the Keydets' previously
nationally-ranked defense. Said VMI coach
Bob Thalman. "That is one outstanding
football team on offense. They simply
wore us down
Richmond, too, was outclassed by the
opposition. Ball State took advantage of
seven Spider errors for a 25-14 win. After
closing to an 18-14 margin, Richmond
failed to hold Ball State and they drove 80
yards for a clinching touchdown ar.d a
25-14 lead.
"We needed to hold them right there
(on their own 20) and get the ball back. I
just wish we had been able to hold them
that last time said Richmond's Jim Tait.
This week, in addition to the
Richmond-VMI face off, there is only one
other inner-conference game, Davidson
and the Citadel.
In its last three games, Davidson has
been embarrassed twice, 69-14 by Lenoir
Rhyne and 55-0 by VMI. Overall, Davidson
is 0-3. After last weekend's 3-0
heartbreaker, the Citadel stands 3-2
overall.
Other games for the conference this
week will find ECU hosting Western
Carolina for Homecoming, Lenoir Rhyne at
Appalachian State, Holy Cross at Furman.
and William and Mary at Rutgers.
