City Council meets in
special riot hearing
By HELENA WOODARD
Assistant News Editor
Mayor-elect Percy Cox asked that the
SGA withdraw its recommendation for
the removal of Greenville Police Chief
Glenn Cannon in a special Greenville City
Council public hearing held last Tuesday
night.
Mayor Pro-Tern Cox acted for Mayor
Eugene West whom Cox said was
attending a very important business
meeting.
"Glenn Cannon has done a terrific job
as police chief Cox said. "I don't think
that the City Council is going to ask for
his resignation he added.
SGA Legislator Ricky Price told the
Council that he would take the request
before the Legislature for futher
consideration, but he reminded Cox that
the resolution was passed with only one
negative vote.
"The situation is not healthy Price
told the Council.
According to Cox, Chief Cannon was
only doing his job by acting to disperse
the crowds of students downtown during
the Halloween "raucous
"All crowds or assemblies of persons
who shall.congregate on the streets or
sidewalks of a city obstructing them to
the inconvenience of vehicle drivers or
pedestrians shall be dispersed by the
police. Any person who refuses to obey
the warning of a police officer shall be
deemed to be in violation of this
section Cox quoted from a town
ordinance.
"Our police chief was carrying out
orders written by and adopted by this
Council he added.
Mayor-elect Cox, who first suggested
that the bars be closed next year at
Halloween, later retracted this statement
and suggested the organization of a
"town common" on which students could
gather for such future festivities.
Following the hearing, several Council
members gave their views on police
handling of the downtown situation.
Councilman Clarence Gray said he
believed the biggest problem was students
were not given an exact route out
following the disturbance.
"I would not agree to close the bars
downtown Gray added. "We may as
well close them down every night if that's
the case
"I don't believe in the use of tear gas
at all City Councilwoman McGrath said.
She added that the use of a water hose
would have been better.
Councilman Howard did not agree to
the ouster of Chief Cannon as
recommended by the SGA. "I think that
idea is ridiculous he said. Howard said
he is planning to ask why the council
was not contacted to discuss with police
what should be done in the event of
trouble prior to the disturbance.
"I think the police reacted too hastily
and the students overreacted to the
police Howard said.
City Councilman Frank Fuller, who is
also an ECU professor, said the
Greenville Police dept. has improved over
the years.
"We have made tremendous strides

SGA refuses to rescind
Cannon removal proposal
By KENNETH CAMPBELu
Assistant News Editor
The Student Government Associ-
ation's committee investigating the
downtown disturbance Halloween night
has refused to rescind its recommend-
ation that Greenville Chief of Police
Glenn Cannon be fired.
The committee is not backing down

on any item in its report on the
disturbance, said Chairman Tim Sullivan.
"If a move is made to rescind any of the
eight recommendations in the report, we
will fight it.
"The reason we will not back down is
because even after Tuesday's council
forum, there was no inkling that attitudes

with our police department over the
years he said. Fuller added they could
always use additional training.
Among suggestions made by students
was that the downtown Greenville bar
area be blocked off to traffic on such
occasions to allow students to enjoy
themselves freely.
One student complained that at least
seven bars were concentrated in a
two-block area downtown making it
difficult to prevent large crowds from
gathering there.
A frequent recommendation made by
SGA representatives was that an
ex-officio student representative be
allowed to actively participate in the
Council meetings.
Councilwoman McGrath suggested
that a representative from the SGA have a
place on the agency to speak and
represent the ECU student body.
"We do not have a clear line of
communication. I have no doubt that we
can work this thing out she added.
Mayor-elect Cox said a transcript of
the entire hearing will soon be made
available to the public. First, however, he
said the transcripts will be taken before
Police Chief Glenn Cannon for further
review.
"No decision will be made by this
Council prior to that time he said.
Students testify
By SUSAN BITTNER
Staff Writer
Students testifying at the Greenville
City Council Public Hearing last Tuesday
night repeatedly told of insufficient
warning from the police, blocked exits
and indiscriminate use of tear gas during
the downtown Halloween disturbance.
"There was an officer with a fog horn
and he did make some kind of warning,
but it was a very unclear warning said
Mike Cunningham, a member of the SGA
Committee on the Downtown Greenville
Disturbance.
"The majority of the crowd when this
warning was given was not in the area
said Cunningham. "There was no way
these people could have heard the
warning
"I know the policeman who made the
announcement and I know the policeman
in the car beside him a Greenville
resident and former National Gua Isman
testified.
"Anyone who heard the announce-
ment on the other side of Fifth St. has
got some mighty good ears said the
former guardsman. "The warning was
given but the speaker was not pointed
down Cotanche St. into the crowd
directly
"There were firecrackers going off and
people were hollering. I just don't see
how people could have heard it said the
former guardsman.
"One thing I couldn't understand was
that in trying to disperse the crowd, the
police gave the students no place to go
!� ��Hi I II II III II III! I I IIWHH � PI
he continued. "All I could see was the
sandwiching of the crowd together
Several students testified on the
confusion resulting from these blocked
exits.
"The streets were blocked off and
then the police moved in with teargas
said SGA member Greg Davis. The
policemen didn't even know what was
going on
"I naturady assumed that what was
going to happen was that the police were
going to block the streets off to allow
people to congregate in one small block,
the block of Fourth and Cotanche Sts .
between Fourth and Fifth St ECU
student Dennis Leonard said.
Complaints about the police's use of
tear gas were made to the City Council
"They sprayed almost everybody in
the rear of the bus I was on said ECU
student Barry Doyle.
"The whole back of the bus was
enclosed with no way for air to get out or
in when the bus was filled with tear gas
he said.
"When the police indiscriminately
began shooting pepper fog, they sprayed
both the entrances and exits to the
clubs Greg Davis said.
"There was mass panic in one club.
People were trampled and pushed to the
floor according to Davis. "Once they
did get outside on the street, a number
of them were arrested
"The gas was used and the club
owners were not warned. There was no
organization, no prior planning, and it

Ouster bad suggestion
The Joint-Executive Legislative Committee that studied the
October 31st incident downtown made some sound
recommendations to the SGA this past Monday-for the most
part.
And, the SGA was wise in approving these
recommendations-for the most part.
Calls for student-police seminars, for the ECU student body
to have an ex-officio non-voting representative on the Greenville
City Council, and for all charges of failure to disperse and
inciting to riot be dropped against students arrested in the wake
of the downtown incident were sound suggestions by the SGA
studv qroup.
But, we think the study group went one step too far
and hurt the other suggestions when they called for the ouster
of the Greenville City Police Chief.
This is not a defense of the present chief and in no way is
meant to be a commentary backing his actions on Friday,
October 31st.
But, when the committee recommended that the chief be
fired and the SGA votes yea, except for one lone dissenter, they
waved the proverbial red flag in front of the Greenville City
Council and the Greenville community for the most past.
The rest of the committee's suggestions are sound and
deserve study by the proper city officials. But, we feel they will
fail to consider the other good suggestions in proper perspective
since the suggestion list is headed by the one calling for the
Greenville Chief's resignation.
Perhaps the committee could have simply suggested that the
Council look into the actions of the Police Chief on the night in
question. But, for the student group to suggest that the
community dump its police chief at the wishes of the students
does not take into consideration the political reality of the
situation.
For the most part the students came out of the Friday night
incident with a couple of black-eyes in the news and headlines.
The students were for the most part blamed by the community
for what happened.
Now, a student group has suggested that the community
drop its police chief. That suggestion made headlines but the
other ones, the valid ones, were lost in the shuffle.
Dropping the chief might be the best suggestion in the
bunch. But, we think the committee lost a lot of its clout and
hopes for community support when they suggested that Cannon
be dropped.
The reality of the situation is that the student body could
stage about any form of protest it wanted and in no way would
the city council be pushed into doing away with their chief
simply because some "outsiders" don't like the man.
The other six suggestions made by the committee and
approved by the SGA were sound ones. But, the call for the
Chief's ouster hurt the entire caseas good a suggestion as it
may have been.

Research continues
The marijuana-sex research project at Southern Illinois
University, which we made mention of several months ago in an
editorial, is still alive and well (?).
In fact the Illinois departments of Mental Health and Law
Enforcement have approved and certified the research despite
the efforts of the state's governor.
The research project, which has been awarded a federal grant
of $120,000 for two years, will measure marijuana's effects on
the sexual response of male volunteers.
Volunteers for the project, who have all used marijuana
before, will be given the illegal drug in controlled amounts and
then will watch erotic films as their reactions are monitored by
machines.
The research project may yet be halted. A United States
Attorney in St. Louis has said he will ask the U.S. Attorney
General and U.S. Justice Department to stop the experiments.
That is just like the Justice Department to try and block the
path of modern science. No doubt the experience gained from
this research would be in valuableif not to the general public at
least to those volunteers.

In Allied Health building
Group asks for polling place
To Fountainhead:
Re: Mr. Roy Turner, SGA Elections
Committee
With regard to the 1975-76 elections
held at the beginning of fall quarter, we
as a committee wish to convey our
discontent over the voting procedures of
the election, specifically lhe lack of any
voting polls at the School of Allied
Health and Social Professions. This
school has an enrollment in excess of
900 students, approximately 10 percent
of the total student enrollment of ECU,
most of whom are in their junior and
senior levels of their respective programs
and attend all of their classes at the
Allied Health Building. Voting under the
present practice requires the student to
make a special trip to main campus and
fight the never ending battle against the
campus parking problem, of which you
are undoubtedly aware.
It is the concensus of this committee
as the representing body of the students
of the School of Allied Health and Social
Professions that the current election
procedure poses a gross injustice to the
right and privilege to vote within the
framework of the University as well as an
infringement on the competitive well-
being of the election candidates.
We request, therefore; that all future
elections and voting situations include a
ballot poll at the Allied Health Building
controlled by student indentification
numbers so that we of the School of
Allied Health and Social Professions will
no longer be alienated from the
remainder of East Carolina University.
Sincerely,

Att: Mr. Roy Turner, SGA Elections
Committee
This letter is in regards to the
1975-1976 fall elections. We, as the
members of the Occupational Therapy
Student Association of East Carolina
University would like to make this
complaint known. In so much as we are
members of the student body of ECU
along with all the other students here at
the School of Allied Health and Social
Professions, we were very disappointed
with the fact that there were no voting
polls at the Allied Health building during
elections.
If the voting policy that was used
during this past election is adopted for
future use, we would like to make the
suggestion that the students at the
places where there are to be no voting
polls, be notified of this fact in advance
(such as through the use of posters, the
Fountainhead, etc.) so that they too may
participate in the elections.We still feel
strongly that this policy is an
inconvenience to students who have
classes in these buildings all day and are
never on campus. If the election
committee is sincerely trying to obtain
good election results they should make
voting as convenient as possible to all
voters.
Thank you for your serious
consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

Student consumer
group working
To Fountainhead:
Have you ever been ripped off by a
merchant in Greenville or wanted to
complain about the services of a certain
business and did not know where to go
or who to see about these complaints?
Or maybe you wanted to get information
on how to become a better shopper and
other such consumerisms and did not
know who had this information. If you
have experienced such a situation then
you have not heard about the Student
Consumer Union. This is an organization
of the Student Government Association
and is under the direction of the
Secretary of Student Welfare.
One of its functions is to help
students of ECU obtain relief when they
have been taken advantage of or have
been cheated by a businessman or
landlord in the Greenville area. By calling
the Student Consumer Union at 758-6611
(ext. 216) Mons. Thurs 3-5 p.m. or by
coming by Room 225 Mendenhall at the
above hours you can obtain assistance in
solving your problems.
SCU is interested in you as a student
shopper and would like to help you
become a smarter shopper, to help you
learn to get the most out of every dollar.
SCU has much information in the form of
pamphlets covering an extensive range of
topics that may upgrade your consumer
skills. Most of these are available to you
free of charge by coming by and picking
them up. SCU has published "Food for
Thought a booklet designed to acquaint
you with the eating establishments in
Greenville and is currently working on a
guide to apartments and other off
campus housing, that will prove
beneficial to students seeking housing
off campus.

Recently the Alpha Phi Omega
fraternity and many pledges to the ECU
sororities conducted a fund raising effort
for the Pitt County United Fund. This
year's Rock-A-Thon was held during the
period October 30, 31 and November 1.
During that time Forrest Suggs rocked
continuously for fifty-three hours at Five
Points in downtown Greenville while
fraternity members and sorority pledges
sought donations at various intersections
throughout the city. A total of $1,961 00
was raised this year. This was $300 more
than collected by the A.P.Os in the
Rock-A-Thon of 1974.
Tim Smith, the A.P.O. vice-president
in charge of this year's Rock-A-Thon,
Forrest Suggs, who did the marathon

SGA action
draws
support
To Fountainhead:
After having read the Executive
Legislative Select Committee's report on
the downtown disturbance of October 31.
1975, I would like to congratulate the
committee on its excellent and well
documented account of that evenings
events. Perhaps James MacGregor Burns
in his infinite wisdom would see fit to
include this report among the annals of
history, but what we need now is not
history but action.
When my friends and loved ones
approach, asking, "Where is justice?
what answer can I, as a student of law
give them other than to turn my head in
shame. I am asking the SGA and the
students of this university to demand
that justice be done. For if the students
of this campus fail to demand that
justice be done, then they will be as
guilty as those who have done the
wrong.
What can be done? As a student one
can write the proper authorities; the city
council, your congressman, and your
SGA representative demanding that
action be taken. As a student body being
represented by our SGA we should not
ask for, but insist upon the following:
1) The removal of the city police chief
and the city manager, who demonstrated
unreasonable actions and attitudes. Bad
attitudes lead to bad situations.
2) The dropping of all charges
regarding failure to disperse and inciting
a riot, due to the failure by the law
enforcement agencies to administer the
law in accordance with due process and
with the proper respect for the rights of
citizens.
Furthermore it should be noted that a
demand is only as effective as one's
ability to back it up. Thus it is my belief
that the student government must make
most clear its willingness and ability to
use all its powers to back up its
demands. The SGA brags about a record
budget; let's see if they can't make an
effective use of it. We have the money
and we have the people to get things
done. Most of all we have the most
powerful weapon; we have the truth, and
with this combination we have the ability
to see justice done. It's all up to us.
Most respectfully yours,
E.R. Wruck

Of dorm rules
Class president hits selective enforcement
To Fountainhead:
After reading all those articles that
made the SGA sound like Al Caporie's
gang, I sat back in my chair to enjoy a
soft chuckle. NOTICE TO ALL DORM
RESIDENCES; Are you still wondering
what that yellow card is that you were
issued when you first came to school?
Are you wondering what the devil that
$3.50 fee was for after you received that
yellow card? Welcome to what's left of
the Men's Residence Council (MRC). It's
a shame that those who are so dedicated
to the destruction of the SGA, haven't
stumbled across the many drawbacks of
the MRC.
Though I've been tempted to jot down
a few facts about the MRC all quarter,
only complaints from my constituents
and having my I.D. pulled twice,
compelled me to do so.
Not all the dudes who appear to be
running the dorm aren't all bad. This is
exceptionally true about my dorm
resident (R.A.). The thing that irks most
people, are the brown nosers who follow
the R.A. like a shadow and dream of
someday being a R.A. themselves. When
those guys get out from under the R.As
apron strings, they take matters into their
own hands trying to make their hopes
and dreams of become a R.A. a reality.
These individuals try to tell somebody
what to do and in turn that person
"politely" tells the R.As shadow where
he can go.
Though the MRC affects all male
dorm students, few even know what the
initials stand for. The MRC has provided
many an activity, but providing and
having it organized are two different
matters. One of these situations arises
from the MRC Hot Dog Supper after the
homecoming game. The food was served
from the smaller Galley Room cafeteria
under Jones Hall, and the lines brought
back memories of drop-add days of old.
The line extended from Jones Hall to at
least the front of Scott Dorm. No shelter
is present on the sides of fronts of these
dorms, and of course it began to rain. If
the argument centers around the lack of
larger facilities to hand out the food,
come on guys, what about the larger
:afeteria under Jones Hall? How many
Deople eat in that cafeteria or. the
weekends, especially homecoming? What
narm would have been done to
accommodate the few brave souls who
eat in the big cafeteria, to have them eat
in the Galley Rom? Then the big cafeteria
could have its two serving lanes fully
used to capacity and also provide shelter
for those who for some reason or
another, waited in line. If the bigger
cafeteria was not available for the MRC's
use or some other factor was the culprit
for the choice of cafeterias, I'll apologize
for my statements, but the MRCs top
officials told me otherwise.
As for the individual hall situations,
when was the double standard system
enacted'? The first time my I.D. was
pulled, it was as I passed an adjacent
hall and caught a football out of surprise
and self-preservation. As I threw it back,
the R.A. appeared and asked for the
football, but since I'm not a Namath or
Jurgensen, I couldn't redirect the ball in
mid-air. My I.D. was taken and I had it
returned a day or two later. Some weeks
later, I was strolling down the same hall
only to lay my eyes on three guys
playing football in the hall at 2:00 in the
morning. They were not only throwing
the ball, but playing full scale football.
To my surprise, one of the guilty party is
a MRC hall representative and they were
playing only a few doors from the hall
advisor's room. But there was no R.A
no hall advisor and obviously no I.D.s
pulled.
Once and a while some of us will hear
that special song that makes us turn the
radio or stereo up a little louder. No
sooner did my fingers leave the volumn
control, that the assistant R.A. appears
at my door. He told me that this was a
warning to turn down my stereo and the
next time he would take my I.D.Many a
time guys in my hall were warned three
and maybe four times to cut down the
volume without forfeiture of a single I.D.
Two weeks later, I went to get my mail
and passed the assistant R.A. He walked
into a room that had the music blaring. I
xpected the music to immediately cut
down, but instead, the music played on
and the assistant R.A. exited the room
commenting to the effect that he liked
the song.
The icing on the cake came last week.
It was one of usual nights of hell raising,
shaving creme on the doors, and
harassing those few guys who were lucky
to have chics with them. Not once, but
three times people were caught and
warned not to throw pennies down the
hall to the hall advisor's door. Quite a
few times people were warned not to use
provoking language, and to cut down the
noise. Though I was part of the yelling, I
never received my first warning to "clam
up There were many who were
constantly warned for violations of
conduct, but for them and the others
above, no I.D.s were pulled. After the
girls left, an unidentified individual
proceeded to slam the door of one of the
vacant hall telephone booths. This
brought two hall advisors to the scene,
and they caught me in one of my yells. I
wasn't issued my first warning, but had
my I.D. taken on the spot. Why can
others get countless numbers of
warnings, while a few of us get our I.D.s
pulled without privilege of a warning or
for the slightest provocation.
I'm not saying that a few of us are
perfect. I know nobody's perfect, but we
who want the best, at least strive for
perfection.
Respectfully yours,
Kevin McCourt

Redneck agrees with Dodson foes
To Fountainhead:
Well Dodson, somebody finally
gotcha. Yessiree it sure does my heart
good to see you finally labeled as the
red-blooded pinko-liberal that you really
are. I always knew you weren't nothin'
but a ignorant, irreverent, trouble maker
anyhow. I mean that thing you did a
while back disgracing the President, well
that was bad enough but now I'm danged
if you haven't come right here onto our
own doorsteps and started slingin' your
un-American crap. Boy those people that
wrote this here Forum on Tuesday sure
did set everybody here straight on you.
You're no good boy! Articles like you
been writin' could really mess up the
heads of our fine young Eastern N.C.
folks. I mean you're just out of touch
with the way things are around here.
Yessiree, now Cannon he's a good ole
boy. He's always been good to us. It's
trouble makers like you that he don't like,
and we don't like you either. I mean
around here we don't care nuthin' about
wit and sarcasm much less this here kind
of political satire. Oh sure we study
about it, but that's just 'cause we have
to. That don't mean we have to let it get
into our heads and screw up our ideas.
No siree. We know what we think around
Tyndall position
draws more fire
here. We ain't got room in our heads for
any of your kind of mind-messin' crap.
We're proud of our public officials around
here. We elect 'em, we pay 'em, and
danged if we don't support 'em too. I'm
just mightly glad that you and others like
you have been showed. We don't like you
knockin' our leaders. As my old buddies
so well put it in Tuesday's Forum, This is
our town and if you don't like it then get
the HELL out of it Just don't go
upsettin' our applecart, we don't
appreciate it. I bet cha ain't from around
here anyhow.

YUM
To Fountainhead:
In regards to your blatant ignorance
towards the circumstances surrounding
the Halloween incident, we believe you
have shown your lack of communication
with the students who did break laws by
consuming alcoholic beverages and
loitering on the streets. However, the
reaction of the police was premature and
totally uncalled for.
As for your comment (Nov. 4, 1975)
on N.C. State and UNC, why is it that
students of both institutions are here
every Thursday night and on weekends
attempting c pick up pointers on
partying. If you've ever been to Chapel
Hill or Raleigh, you would see that they
obviously lack partying ability. Bob, you
have also shown your own social
immaturity by stating that it is childish
to wear masks. (It is obvious that you
have never been invited to a masquerade
party, or any social event at all.)
Concerning your desire to change
ECU'S name to "Children's College we
suggest you go to NCSU and UNC to
cheer on your MALE HOMECOMING
QUEEN (?).

About Rebel decline
position
To Fountainhead:
Re: Editorial of Nov. 6, 1975
Though sympathetic with Fountain-
head's general pleas for publications, I
find certain statements in Mr. Taylor's
editorial concerning the Rebel both
incorrect and wrong-leaded, serving only
to mislead the students and confuse
them further on the exact status of the
past Rebel's and any future ones to
come.
According to Mr. Taylor, the Rebel
used to be one of the "best such
magazines in the state and in the South
But, due to a lack of continuity in the
staff, and late deadlines, the Rebel "hit
rock bottom last year In Taylor's view,
the Rebel has seen its "lofty standings"
slowly eroding.
As a former editor and co-editor of
the Rebel, an editor caught up in the
Rebel's decline, if not, if we draw out the
editorial's implications, a contributing
factor in that decline, I feel compelled to
set the facts straight for Mr. Taylor, the
SGA, or whomever is curious.
From 1972 to 1974, with the exception
of one issue edited by Sandy Penfield
that spring, the Rebel has maintained
essentially the same staff and the same
operating procedures. From spring, 72 to
spring 73, four issues of the Rebel
appeared. From fall, 73 till January 74,
the magazine had no editor. I was
reappointed to that position when I
entered Graduate School in Winter
Quarter. My budget was approved in and
around February of that year and the
spring 74 issue appeared, on schedule ,
around reading day of that quarter. Not
counting the 30 days allotted for printing,
two and one-half to three months work
went into the issue. We published 4,000
copies and 150 to 200 were not
distributed.
The following year, 74 to 75, the
Rebel had essentially the same staff.
None of the pulications had a
Publications Board to oversee them until
January, 75. Our budget, after numerous
cutting sessions, was approved around or
in that month.
Having worked on the contributions
throughout the interim, myself and Mr.
Hunt, who was appointed editor after my
resignation, had approximately three
months to edit, arrange, and design the
magazine. It was distributed two weeks
later than announced due to a printing
error that took considerable time and
money to correct. It was distributed 3 or
4 days before reading day of last spring
quarter. Of the 4,000 printed, 3,950 were
into the hands of students within two
days.
With the exception of Ms. Penfield's
issue, and Mr. Hunt's, which has not yet
been evaluated by the American
Mover's letter draws
argument on stickers
To Fountainhead:
After reading Mover's article on the
Jumper stickers we wonder what vou
are frying to do to school spirit. You say
State and other schools don't advertise
wins over Carolina. As soon as State
beat Carolina this year, they put out
bumper stickers with the score on it.
Why not put out bumper stickers? Aren't
you proud of our football team. Aren't
you proud that they beat Carolina.
Carolina, before they played ECU, had
never lost to a Southern Conference
team. Don't you hate to see the Carolina
people that walk around with their noses
up in the sky. They think they are
superior to you because they attend UNC
and you go to ECU. The football team
showed them who is superior. We are
proud of the football team and proud to
display a bumper sticker with the score
on it. Let these stickers be seen by the
Carolina fans so they can read it and
weep!

To Fountainhead;
We are eager for the ECU students to
know just how important they are to our
Marching Band. Their support has made
a major difference in our program, and
we're very grateful. Thanks to Jimmy
Honeycutt, Larry Chesson and SGA, we
had our most successful Band Day
Competition ever, and took a great trip to
Charlottesville to participate in the
annihilation. It was quite an experience.

We played "Good-Bye Sonny" and "Taps"
and wished for our student body to have
such a great firsthand view of the

Also we're thankful to the Fountain-
head staff for their kind words in our
behalf.
Hopefully we will continue to grow in
quality and quantity so we may

the favor.

m
Collegiate Press Association, each issue
of the Rebel, since my editorship in 72
began, has received an All-American
rating. This rating is given only to
roughly ten percent of the 3 or 4,000
publications submitted for evaluation.
Some further facts: no other
publication on this campus, including the
Fountainhead and Buccaneer, have
received, during these years, a critical
rating of that magnitude FIVE issues
running. Last spring's issue displayed
the largest amount of talent within one
issue ever attempted by the publication.
Roughly 112 the writers featured had
been published in other journals
previously. Last year's Rebel saw, for the
first time since 1969, faculty art
contributions in the magazine.
The magazine has been, however,
consistently cut in funds, with the
subsequent results of decreased distri-
bution and annually, rather than quarterly
appearance. Why has this not been
intelligently explained?
Mr. Taylor's "rock bottom" assess-
ment of the Rebel is, I assume, based
merely on numerical terms. It is
unfortunate that he failed to get what few
facts he used from a reliable source.
Surely, I would hope he is not so tactless
as to sneak some kind quasi-esthetic
evaluation in the back door disguised as
an attempt to "save the Rebel from its
Stripping
is extreme
To Fountainhead:
To: A Thwarted Raider
This is in answer to your question,
"What the hell is wrong with a panty raid
at ECU?" Apparently, you are unaware of
what went on during the panty raid
Wednesday night. It is one thing when a
group of "boys go out to yell up at girls
for their frilly panties, but, it is another
thing entirely when these "boys" go to
the extreme of stripping completely for a
pair of underwear. Not only does it show
their immaturity, but, it shows just how
much they think of themselves as
individuals. Whether they believe it or
not, all girls don't get thrills out of
seeing their nude bodies, in fact, a great
deal of them feel it is repulsive. My
suggestion is that if you've got to have
panty raids in tfie first place "to let off
steam let's keep it a panty raid and not
an invasion of one's privacy.

decline For those who actually read the
Rebel's content, and not just its staff
rosters, deadline dates, c past budgets,
will discover that the magazine is far
from crumbling, though it does not hope
to reach the impeccable professionalism
of the Fountainhead
The Rebel needs, in fact, desires
criticism. This is a literary magazine's
life's blood. But nothing is more
repugnant or absurd than trying to
criticize it with a Sear's calculator and a
slide rule.

Lack of
parking
noted
To Fountainhead:
This is my day to gripe and bitch
about ECU. First of all, the parking on
campus is ridiculous. Where are visitors
supposed to park? Where are the
designated parking areas for visitors9
Does the campus police expect every
visitor to buy a parking sticker? Once I
had a visitor who parked in front of
Fletcher Dorm at niaht, and didn't put
money in the meter. He was greeted with
a seven dollar ticket. I think this is a
racket, and that campus police should
enlighten students about parking and
parking meters.
Secondly, the housekeepers, who are
the most important people on this
campus, get the least respect. The girls
in my dorm always make a big "mess"
that they don't ever want to clean up, and
expect the maids to clean it up. Any
intelligent person would try to be as
considerate of the housekeepers as they
could. They deserve it!
"Jaye" Parker
Proud of
ECU band
To Fountainhead:
I felt very fortunate to have witnessed
one of the most memorable athletic
contests in East Carolina history this
past Saturday. Enough has already been
said about the fine performance of our
football team, but a note should be made
about the performance of the Pirate
Marching Band.There has been no other
time this season when I felt more proud
of the Marching Pirates than Saturday. I
firmly believe that most of my sentiments
were shared by the 20,000 Virginia fans
that attended the game. The performance
was outstanding. The students of East
Carolina, as well as the people of
Greenville, have a right to be proud of
this talented organization. I would like to
thank Nr. Naff and the entire band for the
chills they sent up my spine on that
warm day in Virginia.

Volunteers
received
By MICHAEL FUTCH
The ECU Student Volunteers Associ-
ation (SVA) has thus far received more
than 200 volunteer applications in its
current Pitt County drive.
The Student Volunteer Association is
trying to make people aware of its
function and is open to anyone wanting
to volunteer said SVA officer Arthur C.
Pi gram.
"The SVA is a clearing-house for
volunteers around Greenville and Pitt
County said Pigram
"We are one central organization
which recruits volunteers and directs
them to an agency or organization
needing their services according to an
SVA handout.
The SVA sent out volunteer request
forms to different county agencies and
organizations Those that responded are
placed on the SVA Needs List said
Pigram.
A total of 35 agencies and
organizations have requested volunteers
through the ECU SVA he said.
These include the Boy's Club, United
Cerebral Palsy Child Development Center,
Pick-a-Pal, REAL, Pitt County Memorial
Hospital and senior citizen groups.
Volunteers are able to make their own
choice as to where they are assigned,
said Pigram
The SVA is a new concept for
eastern North Carolina according to
Pigram
Pigram said there are only two others
operating in the state at this time. These
volunteer associations are located at
Duke University and Mars Hill
The non-profit organization is
sponsored by the Wesley Foundation of
Greenville and the Pitt County (VISTA)
Project
This will be the last year for VISTA's
support of the SVA, said Pigram VISTA
will be phased out in August of 1976, he
added
The ECU SVA will work for an ECU
student government sponsored program
after the phase-out, said Pigram.
When Cannon ordered that gas be
used, there were over 1,000 people
downtown, but later that night when the
trouble erupted there were only 300 people
downtown, according to Sullivan.
"The Committee has never condoned
the violence that took place on Fifth
Street on Halloween night said
Sullivan. "But, the plain fact of the
matter is when the tear gas was used, no
one was violent. Only after the chief
ordered the use of mass arrests, and
gassing of the unwarned crowd could
those few trouble makers have advantage
of the disturbance
The members of the Committee are

who is chairman, and SGA Transport-
ation Manager Greg Davis.
Other members are SGA legislators

Student Union
holds art sale
By SYDNEY GREEN
Production Manager
"It's like having 50 museums in one
room is the way Michael Pery described
the Mendenhall Student Center sponsor-
ed exhibition and sale of fine art prints.
Pery is one of the coordinators of the
sale that is scheduled to run through
Friday in the multi-purpose room of the
student center.
The show has about 12,000 pictures
and represents the work of about 300
different artists, Pery said. It features the
work of Chagall, Dali, Matisse,
Gauquin, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso,
Rembrandt, Renoir, Wyeth, M.C. Escher
and others.
This is the second year the exhibition
has come to ECU and Pery said the
response has been good. He is expecting
an even better response than last year.
"We have a large new publication this
year - about 90 different paintings that
we didn't have last year Pery said. "We
try to keep them the same price as
before. The same quality prints at other
places would cost you $6
Mr. M.C. Echer, Picasso, Van Gogh,
and Dali are usually the students'
favorites, Pery said.
Calling the sale a cultural event, Pery
said, "The students are welcome to
browse. There is no need to buy. Lots of
people will browse for half a day
The exhibition has been to other
colleges and universities over the state
and at all places the student response
has been great" according to Pery.
The prints are life size and full color
reproductions. There is also a large
selection of mats.

The food stamp program in Pitt
County, made possible by the Food
Stamps Act of 1964, has had varied
response, according to Mrs. Betty Rouse,
County Eligibility Supervisor for Food
Stamps.
"It is hard to believe there are still
people in Pitt County that do not know
there is a food stamp program said
Rouse. "Yet applicant participation in the
program has doubled since last winter
Many eligible citizens who know
about the program don't apply, according
to Rouse.
"Either they have transportation
problems, don't bother to come in, or
feel like food stamps should be
completely free said Rouse.
Rouse is also the Pitt County
Coordinator for project Outreach, a
statewide organization that "lets the
public be aware of food stamp program
and the benefits available to Icv income
families
To receive food stamps, an individual
must apply at the nearest welfare of food
stamp office. If he is eligible, after an
interview tie will receive his "purchase
requirement or the amount of money he
converts to stamps. This is based on his
income and the number of dependents.
"Further investigation may be
necessary if erroneous issues arise said
Tom O'Shea, Social Services Eligibility
Analyst. "I make visits to see if there is
anything that wasn't brought out in the
interview.
"These investigations determine and
redetermine the eligibility of applicants
requesting public assistance, said
O'Shea.
"Most student households demand
this sort of investigation
Most of the cases involve changes in
the household, such as a member who
leaves, according to O'Shea.
"All changes over $25 must be
reported within 10 days said O'Shea.
"Penalties for violating the Food
Stamp law can be severe and include
both a fine and imprisonment according
to the "Food Stamps Handbook for
Volunteers
The main penalty used in Pitt County
is to "make the individual pay the money
back, and depends on the violation said
O'Shea.
"Sometimes the food stamp worker
may not assess the individual with the
amount said O'Shea. "It's up to the
worker's discretion.
"We have a large clientele of illiterate
people in Pitt County. If the person is old
and has no education, he may not be
assessed with the amount said OShea.
According to Rouse, "For the most
part students know the regulations and
abide by them
Troy Pate refuses Senate Faculty invitation
By JOHN DAYBERRY
Staff Writer
Troy W. Pate, chairman of the ECU
Board of Trustees declined an invitation
to address the ECU Faculty Senate at its
November 11 meeting.
"I wrote to Mr. Pate, informing him
that the Senate made a resolution at a
previous meeting to invite him to address
the Senate, and to answer their questions
on November 11 said Lloyd W.
Benjamin, chairman of the ECU faculty.
"Mr. Pate wrote back, saying that he
would address the Senate only if the

said.
Two students testified that the
charges against them were determined by
which police bus they were in.
"I was on the first bus ECU student
Doug Stole said. We stood around the
police station a couple of hours and
finally they came back with the second
bus load.
"A deputy came in and said, 'Half of
you all come with us He didn't say
which half or anything Stole said.
Stole said he followed because he
thought he would be processed sooner.
Instead of being processed, Stole said he
was placed on the second bus and
charged with inciting a riot.
"I guess I got in the wrong half of it
Stole said. "Those in the first bus were
charged with failing to disperse
A similar statement was made by ECU
from the agenda. He said that his
schedule was too full on that day, and
that he was afraid that his answers would
be interpreted to represent the opinion of
the Board as a unit.
"I again wrote to Mr. Pate, assuring
him that his answers would be
interpreted only as his personal opinions,
and suggested our Janaury 20 meeting as
a more convenient time for his
appearance.
"His response was that he could not
come on January 20, and that since any
later date was too far in the future to
make definite appointments, his ap-
student David Blakewood.
"I was innocent. I didn't do a thing. I
was charged with inciting a riot just by
sitting in that second bus Blakewood
said.
In an emotional voice, Gwen
McDonald, the ECU coed who received a
broken nose and facial cuts in the
disturbance, told the Council that her
doctor first thought she was hit by a
brick. 0
Miss Mffbnald said, however, her
doctor found red paint when cleaning her
face injuries. She said she didn't know
exactly what hit her, but she indicated
she had later seen a picture of a nearby
policeman with a red-tipped tear gas gun.
One student testified that the police
were picking up the bottles and throwing
them back at the students.
"I didn't think they could do that the
student said.

OFF THE CUFF
By JIM DODSON
Features Editor
"And in the end
The stage is quiet, the lights are dimmed, the curtain stands drawnand the
players have all gone home.
Ending college life is somewhat like closing a show. You've given it all that was in
you, sustained your dedication throughout and waited to see how those watching
respond.
In closing there are many things I would like to say. The trick however, is how to
go out in a flourish. But how can I end it all with a flash of style-what great thought
can impart to them before I leave, (Sounds profound, huh?) Well, in truth there is no
great thought to impart my friends. But as I have become affectionately known as the
Fountainhead's resident "trash writer" of recent days, I will carry the brandishment
unto the bitter end. Here loyal readers are a few of the final thoughts of this humble
muckraker
All the Things I Never Wanted to Say and Always Did
In light of my recent popularity among bastions of law and order, in the remoter
regions of urban Pitt County, my initial thought was to rise majestically up and in the
tradition of King Richard nobly proclaim, "you shan't haveth me to kicketh aroundeth
any longereth But since the "gospel according to Dick" is no longer revered among
eggheads. I decided this approach wouldn't cut it. (Or in the words of Catherine the
Great upon viewing her champion thoroughbred for the first time, "this just won't do
They don't call her "great" for nothing you know.)
Another alternative would be to "take the bull by the tail and face the situation
Since my columns of recent seemed to have stirred the patriotic emotions of the
masses, should I avail myself the opportunity to turn my satanic pen on those few
remaining individuals and institutions once more before I depart? Alas, I cannot. The
invective inspiration has dissipated into the miasma of graduation blues.
Prometheus Self-bound
In all fairness however, there were things I wish I had addressed myself to at an
earlier date. One such topic is - that most honored of ECU institutions -the SGA.
Though oft maligned and castigated by the ignorant student masses, the SGA
battles on against all odds and adversities. Therefore, out of respect for this revered
legislative body I will withhold comment - and join the ranks of the silent (apathetic)
majority.
Everyone knows political jokes aren't funny - especially when they get elected.
Therefore I won't prostitute my professional scruples by slithering to the depths of
political mudslinging and calling the President of the SGA a gaping orafice of
dubious extraction.
If anything, we should consider ourselves lucky enough to be blessed with a
genuinely "objective" president. By maintaining a thorough lack of knowledge on any
subject, he insures that the tinge of prejudice can never creep into any decision that
he never makes (i.e. "I don't want to discuss that "I don't know anything about
that " "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard)
The Old Familiar Faces
But to those hearty radical-type, anti-SGA, people who may read this and think
they have a spokesman for their cause I can only offer the words: "Abamemnon
Schlemann lurs and is well in Chocowinity (which means absolutely nothing at all -
a distinct correlation to the above stated body.)
In the meantime, those of you who have read - and commented, I think you. For
you opinion - however divergant from mine, is extremely important to me. Only when
we communicate can we hope to advance our common cause - of a better life for all
humanity. The discourse of ideas remains the vanguard of our heritage - unto the very
end.
Though there's not much to do in the end - you won't find me selling tickets for
the Greenville Police Department's Fall Barbeque supper - I leave with the popular
(and inspiring) thought eminating from the estimable old philosopher "Chuckles" the
clown; A little song, a little dance.a little seltzer in your pants
Zen, yoga among
topics discussed
By ALICE SIMMONS
Line marriage, yoga, women's lib,
homosexuality, and Zen are among
topics covered this quarter in the ECU
English Department's Honors Seminar
101. Coordinated by department chair-
person, Dr. Erwin Hester, the course has
exposed 27 freshmen to nine thought-
provoking paper backs through directed
reading and cross-discipline seminars.
In a May, 1975 invitation to 100 top
prospective freshmen into the Honors
Seminar fall session, Coordinator Hester
wrote that the program would be "a
humanistic probing into such topics of
current interest, primarily literary The
sessions would, according to Dr. Hester,
explore subjects "in such areas as
psychology, minorities, philosophy, and
ecology Intentions towards majors in
English were not required. An essay was
to be submitted if the prospective course
registrant was interested and an interview
was arranged with one of the Honors
Seminar faculty during summer orient-
ation.
Meeting weekly for two hours, the
honors students, upon passing, will
receive three hours credit toward their
General College requirements. Four
professors, Dr D. Paul Farr, Dr. David
Sanders, Dr. William A. Bloodworth and
Dr. Norman Rosenfeld, guided the
students through ten nights of lively and
often heated discussions of a diverse
range of works including Shakespeare's
Measure for Measure and the Lama
Foundation's Be Here Now by Richard
Alpert. No tests were administered
during the quarter; a minimum of two
critical essays and a project or the
equivalent to a third essay constituted
the requirements of Honors Seminar 101.
Near the end of the quarter, Emily
Bray of Reidsville, an intended Physical
Therapy major, was asked her overall
impression of the nine books. "The
reading list included none I had read
before. I was surprised at the variety of
literature (four novels, three nonfiction
books, a play, and a poetry collection).
We covered a great range of years
beginning with Shakespeare and pro-
gressing to the present. The course was
CtfHV
a good experience. I have gained a wider
outlook on literature
Contrasting her high schools Honors
English class with Honors Seminar, Ms.
Bray noted that she encountered different
types of literature and participated in
deeper discussions. "The debates were
livelier said Ms. Bray, "with 27 people
and four professors - all with different
opinions. It was great not to have an
instructor shoving his own ideas down
out throats. We were studying and
analyzing for our own value and were not
worried about tests. Honors Seminar was
more unstructured than any class I have
been in
One novel read by the class, The
Front Runner by Patricia Nell Warren,
has been called by critics "a gay Love
Story The book, which dealt with the
homosexual world of a university track
coach and one of his star runners,
received much response from the
students (and their roommates, friends
and relatives). Music major, Mike Kincaid
of Charlotte, summarized The Front
Runner, stating, "I think we're boiling
down to the question of legislating
morals
Each session, whether held in a
classroom, around a conference table, or
at the house of a professor, provided
stimulating discussion of a "loaded"
book. Others included on the list were
The Politics of Experience by R.D. Laing,
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert
A. Heinlein, Rising Tides: 20th Century
American Women Poets ed.led by Laura
Chester and Sharon Barba, Miss Lonely-
hearts and The Day of the Locust by
Nathaniel West, and Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M.
Pirsig.
During the upcoming winter quarter,
another Honors Seminar course (105) will
be offered and will include comedies.
The English Department, with its Honors
Seminar program, is providing eligible
students with innovative course work
which, through challenges, carries
prestigious honors at the end of their
years at ECU and exposes them to
broader horizons of literature.

Well folks, once again we have made it through registration, drop-add, midterms,
and the general tedium of the average American quarter. We have now arrived at that
singularly special time known as exam week (also known as the Day of Reckoning,
Doomsday, etc.).
Relying on the extensive collective experience of its scholarly staff, the
FOUNTAINHEAD is offering the following cheap advice for the harried masses.
1) Suicide notes written to friends and family are much more effective
when written in blood-red ink. (It serves to emphasize the reality of
exam-time misery.)
2) If your neighbors refuse to turn down their stereo as you are trying to
master all that math, try reciting your theorems in time with "KC and the
Sunshine Band
A little water in your coffee
(CPS)A watered down cup of coffee is
always a disappointment, but most
people's reaction is simply a grumble and
find another place to buy it.
But a Suffolk County, N.Y. judge was
so upset that his coffee was weak, that
he allegedly had the vendor brought to
his chambers in handcuffs and
threatened to revoke his license unless
he stopped watering down the coffee.
As a result of this incident, a state
commission has recommended that the
judge, William M. Perry, be dismissed.
The vendor has sued him for $5 million.
The incident began when the judge
sent out for two containers of coffee
from a truck stationed outside traffic
court in Hauppauge, N.Y. Ten minutes
later, police officers ordered the vendor
to come to the judge's chambers to see
about the coffee "because it was so
terrible The vendor claimed that he had
been taken through the lobby of the
building in handcuffs to his great
embarrassment.
High powered hot dog
(CPS)A high-powered hot dog shot at a
Michigan youth sent him to an area
hospital early in October, Michigan state
police reported.
Troopers explained that Todd Sexton
and a younger brother were coming home
from hunting when Todd's brother
removed the pellets from a 12-gauge
shotgun shell and replaced them with a
weiner. Then he shot Todd in the leg.
Troopers said the hot dog bullet broke
the skin in two places. Sexton was
treated and released at a hospital.
No charges were

3) If your girlfriend suddenly decides to surrender her purity to you the
night before your ECON final, don't resist. The sorrow you'll feel at
having to repeat ECON is nothing compared to how you'd feel it you saw
her downtown next quarter with the jock she turned to when you turned
her down.
4) Be sure to keep your energy up while studying: a Hostess Twinkie has
great aesthetic value. DO NOT, however, believe it when your jiveass
roommate tells you beer is protein-enriched.
5) Ask your History 50 teacher for an 8 x 10 glossy of himherself. This
serves a dual purpose: it's a great brown-nosing technique, plus it will
make a great dart board when your prof flunks you anyway.
6) Devise a very sophisticated and complex means of cheating, then don't
use it. In addition to the sense of honesty you'll feel, you'd be surprised
how much stuff you learn while you're cheating your masterplan.
7) Wait until AFTER your exams to sell your books, no matter how
hungry you are. Better to wait a week for turkey than to be a turkey this
week.
8) Consider the possibility of transferring to a school where the rigors of
scholarly life would not be so evident. If Pitt Tech and Wayne Community
are above your level, you might check out Mini Skools, Inc. The desks
might seem cramped, and the water fountain low, but they serve some
mean chocolate-chip cookies.

Paul Tardif: pianist extrordinaire
PAUL TARDIF: PIANIST
By BOB GLOVER
Staff Writer
Paul Tardif. a faculty member of the
music department at ECU, has made
great strides in the rield of musical
performance. He was born in Buffalo,
New York and received his formal
training at the Eastman School of Music.
He has worked with Cecile Genhart, Leon
Fleisher and even toured in Poland for
the U.S. State Department. His
achievements in the field of performance
list concerts at Carnegie Hall, Stalzburg
Mozarteum, several orchesira s and
universities, with outstanding views from
the Washington Post, the Evening Star
and the Kansas City Times just to name
a few. He is presently giving two
concerts containing the complete solo
piano works of Maurice Ravel here at
ECU.
Q: You are giving the second half of
the Ravel series this Thursday. How did
you happen to pick Ravel and were you
satisfied with the performance of the first
half?
A The Ravel idea has been a goal of
mine for the past three years and I just
wanted to play his music in a concert.
Ravel pieces are quite difficult,
technically and musically. A musician is
never totally satisfied with a perfor-
mance. If he is satisfied, he's not
progressing. These are things that can
always be improved; the more you play a
piece the better it gets
Q: What are your views on the
technical side of music?
A: "Technique should be developed
early. Technique for solo instruments
should be developed by the age of 16. It
takes a great deal of discipline and most
people just don't realize that. When you
have that technique, then you can
progress in your musical interpretations.
Musicality and technicality work to-
gether
Q: Do you feel a musical education is
necessary for all musicians?
A: "It depends on the music you want
to play. A classical background won't
necessarily do you any good in a rock
band. I think most jazz musicians are
more developed as soloists than rock
musicians and they add an extra
dimension to any band. The music field
is very tight. If you want to make money
performing you should be able to read
music and able to work in all phases of
music, such as classical, jazz, chamber
music and actually anything that comes
up
Q: How does the ECU music
department stand in relation to other
North Carolina schools?
A: "Very well, especially in the
applied performance areas. I would say
the music program is on the same level
as the other programs here in North
Carolina
Q: Do you have any complaints
concerning ECU in relation to music?
A: "What we suffer from here is
apathy. Not only in the music department
but university wide. There were only 160
season tickets sold to the Artist Series
program out of 11,000 students. More
students should support music of all
forms here at ECU. With a few
exceptions we have good musical events
in a variety of forms. Not only in the
groups brought in to perform, but in the
performances by the ECU music
department. One example of this apathy
is the music appreciation students who
are required to attend concerts. They get
a program and leave after the first
piece.They are only in the course for the
grade, but they could at least wait until
the intermission to leave. We don't have
the quality of student here that some of
the other schools do and that's
unfortunate
WRQR
Fantasy Park Concert
This weekend, from 6 p.m. Friday
thru midnight Sunday night, Fred
Kennedy and WRQR take you to a place
called Fantasy Park, a place you could
just barely imagine, for a rock concert so
fantastic it possibly could never happen.
Fantasy Park is the live music lovers
dream come true. The 1960's brought
Woodstock, billed as the most exciting
concert ever held. The 70's can boast the
California Jam on the west coast and the
August jam in Charlotte. Now, WRQR
and the McLendon collection bring you
Fantasy Park, the greatest concert never
held.
Fantasy Park offers Chicago, Elton
John, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Yes,
Deep Purple, John Denver, The Who, The
Rolling Stones, The Marshall Tucker
Band, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Pink
Floyd, Santana, The Allman Brothers,
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and more
and more. Is it possible to put on a
"� 'i �� ii miiim ii i
concert so gigantic, so great it boggles
the mind? The answer is yes, Fantasy
Park is such a concert. You ask where it
is? You'll have to look far and wide for
Fantasy Park. You'll have to search your
mind to find it. But when you do find
Fantasy Park, and sit down on the grass
next to the fifty acre lake, among the
one-hundred thousand, or two-hundred
thousand, or, possibly a million friends,
and get into the music, you'll know
where Fantasy Park is.
Now, just in case you can't get to
Fantasy Park this weekend, if the tickets
are all gone, or you can't find anyone to
take you there, turn on your FM receiver,
dial to 94.3 (WRQR-QUAD 94) and you'll
be able to hear, in full stereo and
QS-quadraphonic. Fantasy Park, the
greatest concert never held. With Fantasy
Park around this weekend, you may not
have to make plans to do anything else.
Tell your friends about it.

New York Brass :
too technical
THE NEW YORK BRASS QUINTER
By BOB GLOVER
Staff Writer
No one will deny that the New York
Brass Quintet members are excellent
musicians performing a program com-
posed of renown works in a variety of
form. However, the concert was devoid of
emotion, lacked musical vitality and
could be summed up as being too
technical. The concert was true to the
stigma of classical concerts. There were
tuxedos, a lot � of bowing and a very
reserved, older audience sprinkled with
nodding music appreciation students.
The main complaint was that there were
too many 20th century pieces in the
program. Not that there is anything
wrong with 20th century material or
classical motif in general, but any "live"
performance requires a great deal of
emotional input to overcome the stereo
syndrome. The sensations were not
unlike pulling up a chair and listening to
a computer. As one patron put it, while
sneaking out, "There's just so much that
I can take
The only impressionable piece,
musically speaking, was "Laudes by
Jan Bach. A subtle 20th century piece
that temporarily broke the veil of
boredom for the audience and the
musicians.
The highpoint of the evening was the
encore, which obviously was intended to
be the element of comic relief in this
musical tragedy. The encore was a
Tagtime piece that helped prove that the
New York Brass Quintet was more than a
musical machine. Music was never
intended to be predictable; you win
some, you lose some.

Guest Reviewer adamant on Sunday Concert
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AT THE CONCERT
It is FOUNTAINHEAD-s extreme good
fortune to have a guest reviewer:
NORMAL NEVILLE TRISTAN
While drinking a lemonade at the
Croatan, Florestan encountered his good
friend, Eusubius, and, quite naturally,
their thoughts turned to the ECU
Symphony performance of Mahler's
Fourth Symphony and Rimsky-Korsakov's
Easter overture. Being an inquisitive and
secret listener, I, Normal Neville Tristan,
decided to record their comments for the
reader's interest.
Florestan: "Ah, Eusubius, did you
chance to hear the concert this past
Sunday?"
Eusubius: 'But of course, Florestan -
twas a pleasurable experience to hear the
Overture performed so well. The brass
section surely must have been inspired
by the Heavenly Herald trumpets: such
excellent blend of trumpets, horns,
trombone, and tuba could scarcely be
bettered by a recording
Florestan: "And, Eusubius, the balance
between all the parts satisfactorily made
a whole; much practice by Maestro
Hause and his orchestra had to be the
rule. Would that I had been a part
Eusubius: "We must not overlook the
soloists, "lorestan. The School of Music
must be proud to have such talented
young men and women. Although
Youth's grasp of the finer points of
soloist performance was lacking in
places, the listener was succumbed with
admiration for what they have attained in
so short a life. One must be awed at
what they realize in the future
Florestan: "Quite right, Eusubius.
Particularly, the warm, 'jII tone of the
flutist was a joy to hear and feel
Eusubius: "Without a doubt, Florestan.
However, I did not enjoy the Mahler half
so well - not entirely the orchestra's
fault. Why must Mahler extend his form
and content so much? The opening is so
simple and enjoyable; it doesn't deserve
so much development.
Florestan: "I tend to agree, Eusubius.
Eusubius: "Unfortunately, I must
interject one criticism of the performance
- not to the performers. Why is it that the
audience must be so rude with unneces-
sary noise? The constant walking in the
balcony limited my concentration at
times
Florestan: "Partially due to the
auditorium, Eusubius It was scarcely
planned as a concert hall. Perhaps in the
future, the univeisity will see its
shortcomings
Eusibius: "It was a gratifying afternoon.
By the way, the drama and music
departments are going to present La
9"
For, as the first movement wore on, the
orchestra had its problems holding the
continuity, but one must remember that
Mahler is difficult to perform, what with
the extreme range demanded of the
players, not to mention the breathless
melodic line. I felt, all things considered,
the orchestra has nothing to be ashamed
of - they performed admirably
Eusubius: "And, 'Florestan1- Mahler
demands a near perfect string intonation.
Yes, the orchestra tackled a hard
selection and emerged the winner. I must
admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the
sleigh bells - rather common (f me, I
suppose. The third movement as so
beautiful. Truly. Mahler was a master of
melody, and the performers conveyed the
melody so well.
Florestan: "How true! And did not Miss
Stokes also master the melody? Her
voice is definitely one of dedicated
practice upon a wealth of talent. She
must have worked long and hard.
Eusubius: "But, Florestan, she was a last
minute understudy. Due to sad

Animalabuse
is widespread
By CARLA HOKE
Staff Writer
Many persons are ignorant of the
ocal widespread abuse and cruelty to
!nimals, according to Pitt County
rlumane Society President Barbara
iryear.
"People feel that if an animal belongs
o them, then they have the right to treat
he animal any way they want to said
r'uryear
"We want to educate the people and
ihow them that their animals must be
)rotected from an outside source just as
heir chidlren are.
"A lot of people are not aware that
hey can be prosecuted for mistreating
heir animals. I've shown quite a few in
his town and county that there is a law
According to Puryear, any inhumane
reatment of animals, ranging from
nsufficient food and water, to overwork,
s punishable by a North Carolina
itatute.
Puryear said that a warrant issued for
ruelty to animals will hold up in court if
vidence is provided.
The penalties for animal cruelty can
ye as much as $500 in fines or six
nonths in jail, or both.
The Humane society has helped
jtudents by raising money to pay half of
i student's spaying bill. The society has
ilso helped to pay student veterinary
bills and find homes for unwanted litters,
as well as assisting in locating lost
animals, caring for injured animals, and
providing legal data on animal care,
according to Puryear
"We do our share, but many times I
get calls from people who yell and tell
me I'm not doing my job when I refer
them to a county commissioner said
Puryear
"If I refer them to him, it is because
he is an elected official and is payed to
help the citizens. He won't listen to me. I
go in there all the time and they send me
running from one desk to another until,
finally, I have to give up.
"The county would have to listen to
the taxpayers. The people around here
have more pull than they even realize
Mrs. Puryear also criticized ECU's use
of cats for experiments.
"First, I want to clarify that the cats
came from the county pound and not
from the city. The city will not sell
animals that are to be used in
experiments.
"If ECU had a veterinary school, I
could understand the use of animals in
experiments. As it stands, I can not
justify it and see no need for it

SG A riot report blames
EDITOR'S NOTE: The conclusions and
recommendations of the Executive-
Legislative Select Committee on the
Downtown Greenville Disturbance were
printed in the last issue of the
Fountainhead. What follows here is a
summarized version of the report that
proceeds the SGA's conclusions and
recommendations. We regret the inability
to print the entire report due to lack of
space. Anyone wishing a complete copy
can get one at the SGA office.
The following report was based upon
information taken from 39 signed
eye-witness accounts of students, written
and oral statements from the Greenville
Chief of Police and City Manager, oral
statements from the Fire Marshall, the
Fire Chief, a fireman, eight merchants
whose property received damage and
representatives of the downtown night-
clubs, the Chief of Campus Security, the
Dean of Women and other ECU officials.
Prior to the night of October 31, 1975
the Chief of Police anticipated the need
for extra men downtown. The Nightclub
owners hired two men, and the police
had three men's shifts adjusted to
accommodate any foreseen troubles that
night. Along with the regular force, the
number of officers totalled seven.
No ECU campus officials were
contacted the prior week or that night
until after 1:00, when the disturbance
was into its third hour. In the past, some
contact had been made by the police to
the campus.
The city police received no prior
instructions as to how to operate in the
dispersal of a crowd or on how to control
a riotous situation. "I only use
experienced men Chief Cannon told the
committee. He stated that he used no
procedural manual as "no two situations
are alike The four ABC officers used
also had no prior instructions by the
Chief of Police in this type of
performance.
Mayor West of Greenville received no
prior information as to any procedure or
precautions to be taken by the police in
the case of a disturbance.
From late afternoon to early evening
young people had been patronizing the
local nightclubs. According to the Fire
Marshall the clubs had been following
the fire laws as to the number of people
allowed in at one time before that night.
Nightclub owners stated that they
enforced the rules that night as well.
Although difficult, an estimate can be
made that the number of people inside
the clubs and outside, either in lines
waiting to get in or congregating in
alleys, parking lots and on some streets,
was between 1,000 and 1,200. There was
no damage incurred at any place, and the
various groups outside were revelous but
harmless.
Between 10:45and 11:00 police cars
had been placed to block where 4th and
5th Streets intersected with Cotanche and
Reade. People assumed that the streets
were being blocked off for pedestrians.
Traffic was being re-routed around the
congested streets.
Sometime between 11:00 and 11:15 a
police car at the corner of 4th and
Cotanche gave a warning by bull horn to
disperse in five minutes. According to
the Chief of Police, he has knowledge
that it was given only once, and only at
that point. No warning over a public
address system was given at the
intersection of 5th and Cotanche, where
another crowd was assembled. The
warning given by the Buccaneer was not
heard by most of the people who stated
they were there at the time. Some of the
people at that spot heard a bull horn but
could not make out the words. Others
did not know any warning had been
given. Chief Cannon, who was on the
next block at the Old Towne Inn, stated
he heard the warning "very clearly
According to the Nightclub mer-
chants, they and the police had agreed
on a system of communication in case of
a disturbance. This agreement came
when need for improvement in crowd
control was seen after similar incidents
of a less serious nature occurred this
summer. The agreement was that the
managers of the taverns would be
contacted before the use of tear gas so
they could keep people inside and out of
the streets. Chief Cannon told this
committee, "Yes, I told my men to notify
those inside to stay in so they won't get
involvedFred Hall - the ABC man - and
some other men went to each place and
told them to stay in According to the
nightclub merchants, only one was
informed that tear gas was going to be
used before it was used, and that
merchant was told to contradict the
earlier agreement and have the people in
his establishment leave. The other
managers received no advance warning.
During the time the warning was
given, most of the people downtown
were unaware of it. Policemen reportedly
told individuals in the crowds to
disperse, but the people continued to
congregate, to show off costumes and
celebrate. There was some drinking in
public, and some fire crackers were set
off. According to Cannon, there was no
damage done, and no rocks or bottles
had been thrown. People were generally
unprepared for any strong police action
Chief Cannon told the committee that
he had decided to use tear gas against
the crowds because he considered it
"riotous situation He explained:
crowd becomes a riot when the traffic is1
blocked. Cars could not get through
The first use of gas - from the Pepper
Fogger - occurred between 11:15 and
11:30. Chief Cannon stated that "more
than five minutes" had been given after
the warning. The pepper fog was used at
4th and Cotanche by the Buccaneer, at
the alley by the Attic, by the entrance of
the Elbo Room, and by Tamerlane. Chief
Cannon stated that he tried the pepper
fog to disperse the crowd, and that he
was attempting to make them leave the
area and downtown. He stated that an
avenue of escape was open to them
where they could leave without fear of
arrest. "If they had gone down Cotanche
Street they would not have been
arrested However, Cotanche was
blocked with police cars and the
policemen were arresting some of those
fleeing.
Some unspecified time later tear gas
canisters were used at the major
congested areas near the Buccaneer and
down Cotanche Street at the corner of 5tt
People scattered and many escaped the
gas and left downtown. Others were
arrested for failure to disperse. Those

inside the bars remained inside for a
period of time, but were overcome with
gas.
The gas was being sucked in through
the ventilation systems of the bars and
people debated whether to leave or stay.
Many left and encountered more gas
outside The majority of the people
inside, not having been told of the
actions outside, did not understand the
situation.
The people who were individually told
to disperse were given confusing
directions and contradicting orders by
policemen as how and where to leave the
area.
When the crowds had dispersed,
either because of arrest or to escape the
tear gas. and after the bars had emptied
most of 'hose inside, there was a lull in
activity. Arrests were still being made for
failure to disperse, but most of the
1200 (estimated) people had left the
area around the Buccaneer and the Attic.
Some had gone to campus and others
scattered in small groups along Reade
Street and in various alleys.
The lull in large-scale crowd and
police action ended when a group of
people who had earlier been dispersed
regrouped across the street from Wilbur's
on Reade Street and on the traffic island
by Reade and 5th. Visibility was poor as
gas had been recently used. The time
was close to 12.00. The extra
policemen, including sheriffs and ABC
men. numbered 54 by the Chief of Police,
had been called by this time.
Two shifts of police had been called
in, but Chief Cannon told the committee
that one shift, the one which had many
of its members at a Halloween party, was
not used.
"None of the boys at that party were
called in Individuals in the police force
stated that members of that shift had
been called in. They stated that "at least
two men were brought in. Alcohol was
reportedly used at the party.
The regrouped crowd of people
assembled near the corner of 5th and
Reade numbered 300 Some reports of
bottles being thrown at police, who were
still throwing tear gas and making
arrests, seemed valid Bricks were also
tossed by individuals within the groups.
At about this time when policemen
were sustaining injuries Chief Cannon
received a report that one of his men was
shot with a pellet gun and the same man
was hit with a brick, which broke his leg.
The gun, and the user, were never found
or seen Chief Cannon stated that he
then felt the need to arrest people for
inciting to not. He specifically pointed to
the pellet and brick incident as a
rationale for this order. Individual
policemen questioned later stated that
the man shot with the pellets did not
have his leg broken, that anoiher officer
had had injuries to the ankle area by a
tossed brick.
Police at this time acted mainly to the
group at the corner of 5th and Reade,
which was reacting violently. Arrests
were made for "inciting to riot By this
time the crowd moved up 5th towards
mm i �!�
Cotanche, some breaking windows and
stealing merchandise from display cases.
Chief Cannon stated that a riot
formation of his men was formed on 5th
to drive the crowd back to Reade, but
that so many rocks and bottles were
used against his force, which had no
shields, that the crowd was able to surge
on. Major damages, estimated at over
$4,000. was incurred when the crowd
pushed the police back past Cotanche
and 5th.
Near the time the crowd pushed up
5th, the police ran out of tear gas.
According to City Manager, Harry
Hagerty, the police called for a fire truck
to spray water on the people. It was
called at 12:45 according to fire officials
the man in charge of the truck, Lt.
Garris. went I to 5th with no permissioni
from his superior. The superior was not
contacted in advance, and when he
learned of the truck's departure to the
scene he called it back. It returned to the
station at 1:10. "We fight fires, not
people Fire Chief Ray Smith stated.
The man in charge of the truck stated
that he "shot water but no one was wet
If was after the fire truck was called
back, with the crowd on 5th still moving
freely, than an ECU campus official was
contacted. This was the first contact of
the night with a campus authority. "Joe,
we're out of gas Mr. Haggerty told Col.
Joe Calder, Chief of Campus Security,
who was awakened from bed. Mr.
Haggerty and Col Calder debated whether
the fire truck should return to 5th Street
and water used. Mr. Haggerty has stated
that Fire Chief Smith would have allowed
his truck used if called by Haggerty. Col.
Calder was not enthusiastic about the
idea and commented about insuring
protection for the firemen. The truck was
never called back.
The police continued to arrest people
for "inciting to riot" but the authorities
gained control of 5th Street slowly. The
crowd dwindled and finally dispersed.
According to City Manager Haggerty, the
situation cooled at 3:00. Most of the
injuries to both young people and police
occurred during the crowd-police battle
on 5th. Police report at least six men
sustained serious injury. The hospital
reports that eight young people were
treated.
Throughout the night young people
were arrested and placed on a police bus.
Chief Cannon told this committee that
those arrested before his officer was shot
with a pellet gun and his leg broken were
charged with failure to disperse. After he
stated the disturbance created bodily
injuries and property damage, people
were arrested for inciting a riot. He
further admitted to this committee that
there had been "mix-ups" in those
charged with misdemeanors and those
charged with felonies. "My men will go
to court and clear it all up he said.
Those persons detailed on the buses
reported that they were not allowed to
use the bathroom, that they were
crowded in and that mace was sprayed
through the screened windows at them.
Many of those arrested were detained
on the bus until daybreak.

"The university has a reserve of more
han 350,000 gallons of fuel oila 30 to
45 day supply says James Lowry,
jirector of ECU Physical Plant.
Approximately 8,000 gallons of oil per
day is required to provide hot water and
steam heat to most of the nearly 60
buildings on campus.
Over the past few years, there have
been a number of changes in upgrading
ECU'S heating system. The Central
Heating Plant, now in use, was
constructed in 1968 to replace an old
coal burning plant. The new plant is
designed to operate with either oil or gas
and could be readilv adooted to other
ENERGY NEEDS. ECU'S Central Heating Plant requires about 8,000 gallons of oil per
�day to heat the campus. The huge tanks near the plant contain a 30 to 45 day fuel
reserve. ECU News Bureau Photo

"There is a shortage of (natural) gas
said Lowry. "We are limited to oil, at
least until next April
Additional storage tanks for the oil
have been installed at the plant and work
is currently underway to install two
additional boilers which will supplement
the one boiler that is now being used.
Lowry said the boilers are expected to be
in operation by mid-January and are
engineered so tnat they develop a
maximum amount of steam with a
minimum of energy.
The old heating plant, located in the
center of the ECU campus and easily
recognized by its tall smokestack, has
served as a backup to the more modern,
clean burning facility. There are
approximately 800 tons of coal stores at
that plant.
"We don't anticipate an energy
shortage. Deliveries are on schedule
Lowry said.
But he noted that the suppliers are
keeping the storage tanks "topped off"
with oil "just in case
ECU is also sticking to its fuel
conservation policy that went into effect
during the fuel shortage two years ago
The policy guidelines include a 68 degree
temperature setting in campus buildings
and the encouragement of personnel to
be more energy conscious in use of
electricity and gasoline.

Injuries toHunt,othen
leave Patton worrying
With less than three weeks before the
opening game of the 1975-76 basketball
season at East Carolina, head coach
Dave Patton is not ready to take his
troops to battle.
In fact, "the General" wishes the
season could start just a few weeks later
this year, due to a rash of pre-season
injuries which have dented seriously his
troops.
"Could we cancel the season or move
it back a month or two?" asked Patton.
"It looks like a hospital ward around
here. Our starting all-conference center
hasn't practiced a day, a probable
starting forward is out indefinitely with
ligament problems, and now two of our
guards are hurt. We haven't had a full
quad in practice vet.
"This is no time for us to be talking
about playing the season, especially with
us opening against Maryland, State, VMI
and Duke, all on the road
Patton has reason to worry. Larry
Hunt, the junior center that led Southern
Conference field goal shooters last year,
that was third in rebounding, and that is
the top returning Pirate scorer, is
sidelined as a total question mark. An
ankle sprain suffered just prior to
practice starting has yet to respond to
treatment and Hunt has yet to practice a
day, this dampens the Pirates' battle
plan.
Then there is Earl Garner. Gamer was
playing well in practice until he tore
ligaments in his knee a week ago.
Averaging 25 points a game, Garner had
been counted on to fill in for the
graduated Bob Geter. Now it is a matter
of time for his injury to heal.
But time is one commodity the
Pirates don't have. With guards Buzzy
Braman and Billy Dineen sidelined with
minor injuries, ECU is now down to just
eight men for practices.
The pressure now falls heavily on
those remaining players. The few
remaining veterans and newcomers have
had to fill the slack.
Senior captain Al Edwards has taken
up where he left off at the end of last
season with his pre-season play, where
he has averaged 21 points a game in four
scrimmages. He could easily be the
surprise player in the conference this
year.
At forward, Wade Kenkel is the top
candidate with Garner sidelined. Henkel,
having suffered through some attitude
problems last year, has blossomed to
show the ability he has. For Henkel, it is
a matter of playing a complete game and
not just offensive shooting. He has
begun to develop into a complete
ballplayer and should be a starter by the
season opener.
The guard position is a real tossup.
Before his injury, Braman was the top
candidate, along with Reggie Lee and
two freshmen prospects, Louis Crosby
and Dineen. But with the injuries to
Dineen and Braman, Crosby and Lee now
stand at the guard spots as the only
healthy players, unless captain Edwards
is switched to this position by Patton.
Lee seems to have returned to the
freshman form that saw him named to
the Conference All-Freshman team and
Crosby, a high school All-American, i!
showing off his stuff. Both could be
starters when the buzzer sounds to star
the season.
With Hunt and Gamer the mos-
serious injuries, big men Henry Lewi:
(6-9), Tyrone Edwards (6-11), and Cla;
Windley )6-6) are going to have to fill ttx
void. c
An awesome rebounder and perhapy
the Pirates' most physical player, Lewir
has made considerable improvement ove
last season when he was last man or
ECU'S 19-9 NOT squad.
Windley, up from the junior varsity
and freshman Edwards, are relativeh'
untested at the forward slots and neet1
work at the front court slots to really tx
a help to the Pirates by the time tW!
season starts.
With the injuries, and the untested
newcomers, time is becoming a majo
factor for the Pirates as the seasor
opener approaches. But time is runninc
out on ECU and Patton. More importantic

nevertheless is concerned about a deptr

Conference Basketball Will
See Improvement
?
GREENVILLE, S.CMembers of the Southern Conference Sportswriters'
Association met here in Greenville South Monday to listen to the conference
ttsketball coaches evaluate their 1975 squads and make predictions for tbflir mm
Every coach expressed the opinion that his team would be improved over the one
n Offie had last and, for a change, the coaches, each and everyone of them, may be
elling the truth.
In a year when Southern Conference football has taken a giant step in advancing
tself by beating schools like Wake Forest, South Carolina, Virginia and North
Carolina, it seems the conference's basketball teams will enjoy like improvement in
:he next five months.
Be it in an attempt to catch up with Joe Williams at Furman, whose teams had
grown to dominate the league the last three years, or just out of the right recruiting
aeing done at the right time, the schools have all improved their teams, as well as
heir outside schedules, to bring them up to a more creditable caliber for the
inference.
And it is no longer Williams' Paladins who are picked to win the league. Down to
the last coach, including Williams himself, the coaches see the race as an eight-team
ace, with ECU and Richmond as the favorites.
Even those teams as lowly as the Citadel and Appalachian State have built up the

tav(K, Drograms to a decent caliber.
Bo Brickels at Davidson has rebuilt his offense around a 7-2 freshman and a new
series of offensive maneuvers designed to take the burden off the big man and spread
the team responsibilities out.
In fact, the conference is supposed to be so improved that Furman, minus Clyde
vlayes and Fessor Leonard, are picked no higher than third, and several coaches and
3ID's see them finishing as low as seventh. VMI, last year's third-place team, is
adydpicked no better than fifth.
VMI is Dicked fifth even though every one of its players, save one, from last year
eturns. Why?
Because William and Mary also returns all but one player, Richmond has recruitea
six junior college transfers including last year's leading JUCO scorer, ECU returns
seven men with three top-notch freshmen to build with, and add Brickels' rebuilding
ob at Davidson, as well as Bobby Cremins' New York draft at ASU improve the
personnel at those two schools, which were conference doormats last year.
All in all, it boils down to a real tight conference race. One which will surely be
he closest in years and the most exciting for a long time from the fan's viewpoint.
If you don't think so, just grab yourself a seat at midcourt and watch. Though the
talent may be less than in the ACC; the desire, competition and excitement will be
ust as good as in that "conference up the road

COACHES ARENT LIKE THOSE IN ACC
Another word on the Conference basketball tip-off, as it is called.
The coaches in the Southern Conference are the friendliest and most responsive
coaches I have ever met. Unlike their counterparts in the ACC to a man the coaches
are personable and interested men, interested not only in the improvement of their
team, but in the improvement of their conference.
A chat with one of them is one of the most enjoyable evenings one will have, not
to mention the stories and jokes you'll add to your portfolio.
You see, these men have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, even the "stone
face" types in the crowd like Carl Slone at Richmond and Joe Williams at Furman.
These men are not only young, talented coaches, but also very interested,
ncerned peoplt who are really down to earth.
Women's teams close seasons
The ECU volleyball finished its season
by competing in the NCAIAW State
tournament held at Appalachian State
University November 7-8. ECU lost out in
the first round of the double elimination
tournament. NCSU took ECU 2-1 in a
hard fought contest. Game scores were
15-9 (NCSU), 14-12 (ECU), and 16-14
(NCSU). The Lady Pirates also fell to
UNC-CH 2-0. UNC took ECU 15-9 and
15-4. These losses dropped the 1975 final
record to 7-13.
ECU's field hockey season ended on a
bright note as the Lady Pirates won two
out of three games at the Deep South
Tournament last weekend. Teams from
' North Carolina, Tennessee, and South
Carolina participated in the tournament.
In the first match ECU defeated
Catawba College 2-0. Carlene Boyd
scored twice for the Lady Pirates. ECU
played an excellent game against N.C.
Club, one of the most outstanding teams
in the area. N.C. Club took ECU 3-1, with
Gail Betton getting the single ECU score.
In the final game of the weekend
ECU beat High Point College 2-1. Linda
Christian and Carlene Boyd scored for
the Lady Pirates.
There is no elimination play to
determine a "winner" at Deep Sout.n.
Instead twenty-five girls are selected to
the Deep South All-Star teams which will
represent the region at the Southeast
Tournament to be held at Mary
Washington College November 14-16.
Frances Swenholf, a senior from Falls
Church, Virginia, was selected to the
Deep South Team I in the position of
right fullback. Gail Betton, a junior from
Millsboro, Delaware, filled the center
forward spot on the second team.
The Lady Pirate netters completed
their season November 11 with a loss to
St. Mary's College in Raleigh 9-0. The
loss put the final season record at 3-4.
The team will play a short season in the
spring.
At the Duke Swimming relays
November 7 in Durham, ECU placed fifth
in a field of eleven. The next meet for the
Lady Pirates is scheduled for November
15 against UNC-CH and UNC-G in Chapel
Hill at 2:00.

Fountainhead Basketball Preview
Conference teams improved over last year
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
GREENVILLE, S.C.�The Southern
Conference Sportswriters' Association
met here Monday for its annual
Basketball Tip-Off.
Almost unanimously, the writers and
coaches in attendance agreed that this
year's conference basketball race would
be a toss-up between at least five teams,
and that every team would show marked
fmprovement over last year, with the
exception of the Furman Paladins. The
consensus opinion of coaches also
showed East Carolina and Richmond to
be the favored teams.
From the coaches' interviews here is
this year's conference breakdown, with
teams listed alphabetically.
APPALACHIAN �About the biggest
win for the Mountaineers last year was
their 78-71 win over ECU. With a new
coach. Bobby Cremins, the Apps, 3-23
last year, hope to improve drastically
over last year's record.
And Cremins has gone through the
proper channels he feels to do exactly
that and then some.
What the former South Carolina
basketball captain has done is to dip into
the talent from his hometown of New
York City and bring the prospects south.
'We offer the players up there a
chance to get out of the city and show
. them the schedule we have and the
exposure we can give them said
Cremins when describing his recruiting
philosophy "The most important thing is
getting them to our campus and I think I
have enough to work with
What Cremins came back with were
four top-notch prospects from the city
and a JUCO player from Atlanta, Ga. It is
these five players which Cremins hopes
to build his future program around.
The best of these newcomers are
Calvin Bowser and Darryll Robinson.
The enthusiasm which Cremins shows
when talking about these two players is
warranted, but neither has yet to step on
a basketball court for a varsity game.
Bowser, as it stands, has missed all of
practice because of a pulled hernia.
Cremins outlook on Robinson is that
he is a "young talented player, who
needs to grow up before he can help us
The other New York prospects
Cremins has recruited are Tony Salvo,
who he calls "my type of ballplayer Tim
' Leahy and Bobby Pace.
Pace is the player who Cremins is
hoping to get most of his scoring from.
Bobby is a little wild, but I can get the
wildness out of him. If I do, he is the
type of player who can really hurt the
other team with his shooting
The strength of his newcomers is so
great, says Cremins,that he has dropped
five varsity performers from scholarship
status. He is looking to returnees Don
Stringfellow, John Vukasovich, Ed Kane
and Mark Campbell for help.
Despite the absence of goals for this
year, Cremins may have a long way to go
to fulfill his prophecy for the season.
"I don't have any won-lost goals
says Cremins. "I just want to keep the
players together and get them to play as
a unit. I hope I can get the basketball
team going there. I've got a three-year
contract and if I don't have a good team
by then, I think they should get a new
coach '
Chances are Appalachian won't need
to get a new coach for a while, but as far
as this year is concerned, it should be
another long one for ASU.
THE CITADEL�Last year's Bulldog
squad finished seventh in the conference
and 5-15 overall. Most people pick the
same type of year for the team this year.
Head coach Les Robinson doesn't
agree with them and has been working
his team at 6:45 in the morning to get
them in better shape for this year.
"Last year, there were a lot of games
where we lost in the last ten minutes
said Robinson, "because we were
missing two important ingredients last
year, confidence and mental and physical
conditioning. I've been working hard this
year to solve both these problems.
"With the entire starting lineup back, I
feel we have a good chance to challenge
this year, if our fundamentals come
around
Those five starters from last year
include guard Rodney McKeever. Mc
Keever finished third in the conference in
scoring last year, but Robinson is
looking to move the offense away from
being oriented around McKeever and
work more on the inside game and
outside shooting.
The big men in this plan will be
Richard Johnson and Mike Ange.
Johnson has been one of the best
offensive men in the conference in the
last three years with his shooting touch,
but hasn't been getting the ball. Ange
has been inconsistent in his two years.
This year, says Bo, he is going to change
his tune.
"There is no use in me getting up
here and telling you how good we are
going to be says Brickels, "because I
told you all that last year and we fell on
our rears
But Brickels claims this has been a
more exicitng year so far and that he is
actually having fun as the Davidson head
coach.
"This is the most fun I've had in
coaching in eight years says Brickels,
"and it hasn't been fun. It wasn't any fun
last year
Probably one big reason Brickels is
enjoying coaching more this year is
because he has signed the long-sought
after big man for his school in 7-2 Tom
Dore. With senior co-captain Eppa Rixey
returning with his 6-8 frame, Brickels is
dabbling with some way to put both men
in the lineup at one time.
"Because Eppa has been doing so
well in practice and Dore can do what he
can, I think I can play all our big men.
Dore is going to have to be a basketball
player by January, because we can't wait
any longer
Besides Rixey, though, most of
Brickels' veterans have missea practice
this fall, so Brickels says he really
doesn't know much about how his team
will stack up.
"I just don't know a lot about our
team, but the most pleasant surprise has
been Rixey. He's gotten bigger and with
Dore there as a big man, Eppa doesn't
have to play that role any longer

"We are going to move the ball away
from Rodney more this year said
Robinson. "He's one of the best guards
in the southeast, but we are going to use
his talents more to win this year, than to
score. This way, the defense can't stack
on him
Citadel's schedule this year is a tough
one, with games against North Carolina
State, Rutgers, Clemson and South
Carolina on the agenda. Robinson,
however, hopes these games are helpful
to the program and don't destroy the
team early.
"Our schedule this year is tougher,
but I feel this will help us in the long run
and I think the tougher games will make
us a better team in the conference
DAVIDSONCoach Bo Brickels is
one of the funniest coaches in the
conference, but this year, for the first
time in many, Brickels says he is
enjoying the chore of coaching the
Wildcats.
Brickels took over for Terry Holland at
Davidson last year and with his team
suffered through a 7-19 year, after he had
promised bright things for the Wildcats.
With Jay Powell, Tom Verlin and
Kevin Doherty out, though, Brickels is
being very cautious.
"Those three were the ones that along
with Rixey I was going to go to war with.
But I haven't seen anything of them this
year. It has given the freshmen time to
play though
In a win over Athletes in Action last
week, Brickels started five freshmen and
used Rixey a lot. From this play, he has
found three freshmen he knows can play.
One is Dore, who at 7-2 Brickels
hopes will form a nucleus to build the
team until the returnees from last year
get back. The other frosh with good
credentials are John Gerdy and Tom
Jorgenson.
"John scored 30 points versus
Athletes in Action, but we'd like to see
what he is going to be like without the
ball. We'd like for him to be a scorer, but
he can't be just a shooter at Davidson.
"Tom thinks there is no other way to
play the game except to win He's a
leader and a competitor. He's not strong,
but he works awful hard

and it is going to have to be
Despite losing the 35 points and 22
rebounds a game that the two giants
contributed, Williams has recruited three
players to fill the holes.
At the center post occupied by
Leonard, Williams has recruited 6-10 Jim
Strickland. Strickland will be pushed into
the starting role right away, but Williams
hopes to relieve the pressure by teaming
Lynch in the low spot where Mayes used
to play.
"Strickland has a great deal of talent,
for someone who wasn't heavily
recruited. He'll have a lot of pressure on
him, but we hope to relieve some of it by
moving him along slowly. As long as he
is set by tournament time, we'll be
happy
The other two recruits for Williams
will be guards Steve Whittingham and
Ray Miller. Both of these players will fill
the wing positions well, according to
Williams, and allow the hotshot Smith to
control the play from the point position.
Williams is looking to the same men
to back his first team that handled that
chore last year, when depth was a
Paladin problem. The Paladins don't have
the first team talent they did last year, so

RICHMOND�Since Carl Slone came
Richmond last year, the school
fficials have waited for him to build a
inning program like he had done five

Craig McCurdy. Eastman is the only
starter off last year's squad, a fact which
has Slone mildly worried.
"Off a 10-16 team, we have only Kevin
back said Slone. "In terms of how well
our team plays and the amount of
experienced men it has that will be a big
question mark on our team
But what the returning players lack in
experience, the recruits will make up for
in talent.
One of Slone's recruits is 6-3 guard
Paul Webb. Webb was the leading J.C.
scorer at Hiwasse (Tenn.) Junior College
last year with a 34.3 game average.
John Brown (6-9 .230) will also be one
of the most important recruits for Slone
in the center position.
"Take John out at center said Slone,
"and we don't have a true center. Right
now he is a bit overweight and his
defense needs work, but the season
could hang on how well he and Webb
perform for us
Eastman averaged 16 points a game
last year and Slappy is expected to either
alternate with him, or play along side
him, in the Spider alignment.
Richmond's schedule is another factor
in how well the Spiders fair this year,
according to Slone.
"With our schedule we could make or
break our season right off. With the
games we have with Wake Forest,
Davidson, Maryland, Dusquesne and VMI
right off we could ruin our team, but the
schedule could help us too.
"This is the first group of junior
collegekids I've ever recruited, but we had
to have someore to play with since all
our starters graduated last year. I'm not
opposed to recruiting freshmen, but we
needed some experience from players
who had played somewhere. I'm going to
recruit the best players that I can. With
who I have this year, it will prove if I can
coach or not

VIRGINIA MILITARY�The 1974-75
season was the best year ever for VMI
basketball and, with all his starters
returning, coach Bill Blair is looking for
better things in 1975-76.
The present top five for Blair are the
same five players who finished the
season last year as starters for the
Keydets, who placed a surprising fourth
in the league last year.
It has been a long time since the VMI
basketball program looked as bright. So
bright, in fact, that VMI has to be
considered a dark horse in the
conference this year.
This year's team is led by forward Will
Bynum, center Dave Montgomery and
backcourt and team leader Curt Reppart.
Reppart set a school assist record in
1974-75.
Since depth was a Keydet problem
last year, Blair has recruited several good
players to back up the experienced
starters.
And with their home court,
affectionately known as "the Pit the
Keydets could stand a good shot at
ambushing visitors under the low rafters
and dim lights.

George Balanis is excited about his team

Football
Appreciation
Day
Thursday, November 20 will be East
Carolina Football Appreciation Day for
the city of Greenville. The festivities,
organized by John Dilday of the
Greenville Jaycees, is designed to
recognize the achievements of this year's
ECU football team
The proceedings will take place in
Ficklen Stadium at 5 o'clock, in order
that both ECU students and ECU football
players, as well as city residents will be
able to attend.
Greenville Mayor Eugene West will
speak and make the dedication, citing it
as East Carolina Football Appreciation
Day.
The day is made in an attempt to
show the city's and university's
appreciation to the East Carolina football
team and all students are encouraged to
attend since many will not be in
Greenville on Saturday to attend the final
home game with VMI. Come out and
support the Pirates.

backup for Dennis Van at center says
Balanis. "We are going to be better, but
everybody in the conference is going to
be better. Right now we have got to work
with what we have in the conference. The
conference is balanced and improved. I
wish Richmond would reconsider its
decision to leave the conference next
year
Balanis plans to use the same hard
nose defense and slow-down, often four
corners style, offense the team used last
year.
"We like playing good hard-nosed
defense and get all five guys involved on
offense. If you play good defense and
rebound, you should be able to win a lot
of games.
"We aren't runners, none of my kids
can run except for Ron Satterthwaite. We
have to play a slow down game on
offense.
"We go to four corners a lot, that's
part of the offense. We like to take the
momentum away from the other team
with the four comers and we feel its our
bread and butter
With not a senior on the whole team
and the leading scorer averaging only 16
points a game, Balanis feels the Indians
must win the close ones they lost last
year to have a shot at the title.
"It all depends if we can win the close
ones like we did last year. It will depend
on how the close ones go and we have to
learn to win on the road, which killed us
last year, but I think that was a sign of
youth that we could not win on the
road

Pirates will close season at home against VMI
East Carolina football fans will have
to wait a week before they get to see the
ECU football team in action following its
61-10 win over Virginia last weekend.
The reason being that the ECU team
gets a well-deserved week off between
now and its final game against VMI on
November 22. And despite the fact, ECU
will be closing its season at home, most
students won't be around to see the
Pirates finish anyway, since exams end
the day before.
But for those who saw the Pirates in
act'on up in Charlottesville Saturday they
can understand coach Pat Dye's thinking
that his team may be the best team in
the state right now.
"Right now, it is my thinking that we
may have the best team in the state
said Dye. "I know I shouldn't be saying
that since both State and Appalachian
beat us, but we're playing better now
than we were then
After going 2-3 in their first five
games, and dropping two of three
conference games, the Pirates have
rebounded by winning five in a row and,
despite the fact they can't win the
conference title or have little chance for a
bowl bid, are probably the hottest team
in the state right now.
In the last five games, ECU has
outscored its opposition, 165-51, while
scoring an average of 30 points a game
and rushing for over 350 yards each
game.
The culmination of the team's switch
back to the standard wishbone was
reached in Saturday's contest, when ECU
rolled up 633 yards on the ground and a
total of 690 yards overall.
The Pirates, with Saturday's awesome
display, are now averaging over 280 yards
a game along the ground and 374 yards a
game in total offense.
Where the offense had been sluggish
for the most part in ECU's first five
games, Dye says it is the defense which
has finally caught up to the offense.
"Now we are playing defense the way
we should have been all year, although at
times Saturday we weren't going to the
ball or moving like we should have been.
"We gave up a lot of yardage to
Virginia's good offense, but the defense
also came up with a lot of big plays and
did what was needed to keep them out of
the end zone
ECU's offense has been based around
?he run most of the season, running off
56 plays a game, and the backs most
responsible for the Pirate running
success have been Mike Weaver, Kenny
Strayhorn, Willie Hawkins and Ray
Jones. In the last four games the Pirates
have averaged 450 yards a game along
the ground.
Strayhorn has 596 yards so far this
season for a 6.3 average, Hawkins has
506 for a 5.6 average, and Weaver has
picked up only 298 yards, but is
averaging five yards a carry. Jones'
blocking, and that of Tom Daub
Saturday, has been a major aid to the
revamped wishbone attack the Pirates
have used the last four games.
A new star has come upon the
horizon, too. A freshman, Eddie Hicks,
has played in only the last four games,
but has scored on runs of 58 yards
(against Carolina) and 87 yards (against
Virginia) with his blazing 9.6 speed. In
the four games, and one earlier
appearance against SIU, Hicks has
gained 284 yards on 22 carries for a 12.9
average.
Coach Dye smiles when he thinks of
having Hicks in his backfield for the next
three years.
U
"He's about the best running back I've
seen in a long time observed Dye. "We
knew he could run with anyone, but he's
also a good pass receiver and he's
getting to be a good blocker
The Pirates seem to have reached a
peak in their season, but it seems too
late for ECU to gain a bowl bid or
establish any further gains out of the
season other than a win against VMI and
an 8-3 record.
The only thing really left for them to
do is beat VMI Saturday and then sit
back and hope the good things which
grew at the end of this year will continue
next year, for the Pirates lose only eight
seniors to graduation.
The VMI game will mark the final
game for these seniors, among them
Strayhorn, who has rushed for over 2,000
yards in his career, and yet has never
received any All-Star recognition.
