ID card counterfeiters discovered
By HELENA WOODARD
Assistant News Editor
More than sixty ECU and non-ECU
students are being reprimanded for
forging or aiding in forging ECU
identifications cards, according to
Rudolph S. Alexander, dean of student
affairs.
We have more than sixty people
involved in forging and aiding and
abetting in forging of ID cards said
Alexander. "We are not certain how many
more students are involved because we
are still investigating the matter
The non-university students were
using the false identification cards to
participate in ECU activities, such as
concerts and football games, said
James Mai lory, dean of men.
Mai lory said an ECU student would
give his activity card to a non-university
student. The non-student would then use
the false activity card to have an ECU ID
made by claiming that he lost his original
card.
"I became suspicious when this fall
more duplicate cards than ever before
were being made said Alexander.

'Gag rule' removal
proposal to be made
By MIKE TAYLOR
Editor-in-Chief
A new proposal that will do away with
the present "gag rule" used to stifle
on-the-job political operations by
officials in the Consolidated University of
North Carolina system is expected to be
presented to the UNC Board of Governors
early year.
The new guidelines, which include
allowing university officials from faulty
members to Chancellors to be granted a
leave of absence without pay while they
seek political office, could be presented
to the UNC Board of Governors as early
as January, according to UNC President
William C. Friday.
President Friday, in a phone interview
from his office in Chapel Hill Wednesday
morning, explained that the new proposal
would strike a "balance between the right
of the citizen to seek public office and
the rights of the state in what it can
expect from university officials
The present gag rule requires state
officials in the university system to
resign from their post when they openly
engage in political campaigns. The rule
was known in many quarters as the
"Jenkins' gag rule" and many thought the
old regulations were aimed at stopping
the political efforts of ECU'S Chancellor
Leo Jenkins who has been mentioned as
a candidate for governor in several
elections.
The ECU Chancellor, who has
admitted he is considering entering the
Democratic race for Governor next year,
said several months ago that if he
decided to run he would ask the UNC
Board for a leave of absence or vacation
while he campaigned.
President Friday however denied that
the gag rule was ever aimed at any one
individual.
"This was not a Jenkins' gag rule as
some have claimed. It was aimed at all
university system officials President
Friday contended.
The new guidelines will clear up the
obligations that a person has to the
university and at the same time will allow
a person a chance to exercise his right to
seek public office, President Friday
explained.
On the ECU Med School issue
President Friday denied that the UNC
Roard of Governors and the UNC
WILLIAM C. FRIDAY
administration had been guilty of any
footdragging on working with ECU
officials on the Med School.
"At this time the Board of Governors
has affirmed all the necessary
agreements that they have to handle
President Friday explained.
"I know of no pending developments
that need consideration by the Board.
The situation now lies in the hands of
ECU officials who are working on the
project President Friday continued.
The UNC President would not
speculate whether or not the ECU Med
School could admit a freshman class
next Fall as Chancellor Jenkins has
predicted.
"The accreditation people have to be
called in and after they have made a visit
it will simply be a judgement of whether
the Med School can open next Fall
President Friday added.
The UNC leader contended that his
office and the UNC administration would
push hard towards the recruitment of a
staff and building plans with the hope
that next Fall's predicted opening date
can be met.
On the growth of the entire UNC
system Friday can see a gradual decline
in the rate of growth of enrollment.
"The rate of growth in the next few
years will begin to decline when the
number of students who become college
age declines Friday added.
IBM cards, which students are required
to sign when having an ID made,
Alexander found that the signature on the
original card did not always match the
one on the duplicate card.
Alexander said students who have
aided high school students and other
non-university students in obtaining a
false ID card are being required to turn in
their own IDs. These students have also
lost their ID privileges for at least one
quarter.
If further evidence proves more
damaging, the period may be extended,
according to Alexander.
"Both ECU students and non-students
must come in for conferences with
officials in the division of student
affairs Alexander said.
"Each individual has submitted to me
a letter fully explaining how he or she
got involved in this mess and clearly
stating that the individual recognizes the
seriousness of the offense and pledges
to never be involved in this sort of thing
again Alexander said.
Punishment could have been quite
severe if the University had decided to
follow that route, he said referring to the
N.C. statute listing forgery and aiding
and abetting in forgery as a felony.
Students who had duplicated IDs
made with one of them indicating a false
age were required to have new ones
made containing correct information,
Alexander said.
"They are losing ID privileges for one
week he added.
The Division of Student Affairs have
adopted new procedures for obtaining ID
cards in the future, according to
Alexander.
"In order for us to totally change ou
procedures, it is going to cost in-cominj
students $2 instead of $1 to have an l
made for the first time he said. "We'l
make two IDs instead of one. We'll fik
one with a picture and signature. If an)
changes are made when students file fo
duplicate IDs due to losses, we'l
investigate he added.
"In addition, students who lose IDs
will have to wait one week instead of oi
day for new ones to give us time
:heck. New IDs will cost $5 instead of
to replace Alexander continued.
"I make no claim that this is a f
proof system, but it's going to be very
difficult to beat Alexander said.
"We couldn't come up with a cheaper
system. It's a shame honest students

Staff Writer
Whether the morals in America are
changing or not it is well known that
many college men and women seek
access to birth control methods.
Since 1970 it has been possible for a
student to get help from this university
The nation's institutions of higher
education were reluctant to take on the
task of supplying their students with
contraceptives and sexual counseling.
When ECU took its step into this area the
major problem was with age that is, if a
student was under 21 and sought help,
their parents would have to be notified by
the doctor. With the lowering of adult
age limit to 18, however, it has become
easier for students to seek help.
Students may now seek advice and help
without fear of it becoming outside
knowledge.
The birth control program at ECU has
been laid out in such a way as to offer an
educational insight into birth control as
well as the contraceptives themselves.
Basically there are three procedures
to be followed by a student wishing to
receive help.
First it is necessary for a student to
receive counseling. This is accomplished
through Sexuality Conferences which are
held the first and third Tuesdays of each
month. It is through these conferences
that a student has the opportunity to
seek the facts and further their
knowledge. Of even greater importance is
the ability to receive counseling from
campus ministers or guidance counsel-
ors. The moral and religious questions of
birth control may be sorted out more
SG A votes downtown
? II
The Student Government Association
Legislature in a special session Nov. 17
voted to boycott the downtown Greenville
merchants in response to what it calls
unneccessary tactics used by police to
disperse a downtown crowd Halloween
night.
In a thirty to three vote the legislature
went on record in support of a boycott of
downtown merchants beginning Dec. 9.
The resolution also calls for the SGA
president and speaker of the legislature
to retain legal help in seeking a
class-action lawsuit against the city of
Greenville because of the actions taken
by police during the Halloween incident.
The resolution called for the SGA to
regular session Dec. 8. Due to recent
developments in the case, however, Tim
Sullivan, chairman of the SGA committee
which investigated the incident, said his
committee will not recommend the
boycott to the legislature.
Sullivan said the committee has
reconsidered its stance on the boycott
because the majority of the cases against
those who were arrested in the incident
were dropped and substantive results
have been obtained from two meetings
between Sullivan and City Manager Harry
Hagerty.
According to Sullivan, Hagerty
said the door was open for disciplinary
actions against the police officers
involved in the incident if he (Sullivan)
give final approval to the boycott in its could bring in students with charges
Dr. Best found guilty
Dr. Andrew Best, a prominent local
black physician and an ECU Trustee, was
found guilty recently in Pitt County
Superior Court on two of six counts of
illegally dispensing controlled sub-
stances "not within the normal course of
his professional practice
The jury took only an hour and 35
minutes in deciding on a verdict.
Judge Bradford Tillery of Wilmington
sentenced the doctor to two 12-month
consecutive sentences and suspended
the jail terms on condition Dr. Best pay a
$1,000 fine and court costs in each case.
Dr. Best was found guilty of illegally
dispensing drugs to a female SBI
undercover agent on February 27 and
March 19, 1975.
On those two occasions the agent
was provided prescriptions for Ritalin
without ever being examined by Dr. Best.
The drug Ritalin is classified as
Schedule II substance. Substances such
as heroin are placed in Schedule l-the
highest classification-while marijuana is
listed in Schedule VI.
Defense attorney Marvin K. Blount Jr.
of Greenville gave notice of appeal to the
North Carolina Court of Appeals.
He said a conviction of the charge, a
felony, will likely deprive Best of his
means to earn a living, referring to the
possibility that Best's license may be
revoked.

against individual officers.
Hagerty was unavailable for comment.
In their second meeting Tuesday
Sullivan said Hagerty had agreed to
initiate an investigation of the police
action, and would recommend to the
police department a change in its crowd
control tactics to include the following:
-to have much stricter supervision of the
use of tear gas with one commanding
officer giving orders for it to be used,
-that the police department use tear gas
in disintegrating canisters. (One ECU
coed suffered extensive facial damage
from a canister discharged by police
during the incident.
-that if an order to disperse is given,
there will be four officers with hand held
microphones who will walk through the
crowd and give the order. (The order to
easily.
The second step in the procedure is
to have medical tests taken. These tests
are done at the infirmary and are free
wuh the exception of the pap test for
women ($5).
Those who wish to proceed this far
should have appointments made at the
infirmary. There are bookings now which
run into December.
Once the tests have been taken, the
doctors, if possible, will make available

disperse that preceded the Halloween
incident was given over a single
loudspeaker at the corner of Fourth and
Cotanche.
-that police must submit a written report
detailing the use of munitions.
(Greenville Police have already been given
written instructions for crowd control,
according to Sullivan.)
-that if trouble of this nature is
anticipated, police will try to contact
university officials before taking any
action. But, Hagerty stressed this pi
must be reciprocal, that if unive
officials expect any trouble on cam.
elsewhere they should contact the poice.
Sullivan said the chances of a boycott
diminish with every concession that is
made by the city.

SGA boycott threat served purpose
The SGA, meeting in a special session before the
Thanksgiving break, voted to stage a boycott of downtown
business if certain demands, growing out of the Halloween
night incident, are not met by the city fathers.
But, that vote in early November is subject to approval again
by the SGA this Monday and hopefully at that time cooler and
calmer heads will prevail when the vote is taken-for a boycott of
downtown stores will do little good for the student cause. In
fact, a boycott could have detrimental effects over the long haul.
Apparently the city is making some concessions to the SGA.
This is, of course, a good reaction by city officials.
Whether such concessions came as a result of the
threatened boycott is debateable. The SGA may claim their
threat to boycott approved at their last meeting was the pressure
point that brought about some concessionand whether the
threat really did any good or not is not worth debating.
What is important is that some concessions were made by
the powers that be.
And, any good the threat of boycott may have done is
already past.
For the SGA to vote again next week to keep their boycott
threat would be sheer folly.
For sure the SGA, if the student body supports the boycott,
could force some severe hardships on certain merchants in the
downtown area. No doubt a few businesses, certain ones that
cater almost exclusively to the students would be hit hard by a
boycott. Some could even be forced to close if the boycott
lasted long enough and was observed by all students.
But, just what good would it do to close down a few of
those student specialty shops downtown?
The larger merchants could weather a boycott knowing that it
would probably only last a few weeks at most. But the ones that
would be hit the hardest, the smaller ones, are the ones that
lack the influence that the SGA hopes to stir.
The larger merchants would not be hurt that much.
And, even if some of the larger stores were hit hard enough
to feel a real pinch, it is doubtful they have enough clout to

influence the city council into any drastic action. The Council
was elected by the entire city of Greenville, not just the few
merchants in the Five-Points area.
By calling for a boycott the SGA is in fact alientating some
of their strongest supporters in their beef with the city-the
merchants themselves.
One merchant, who lost a window, a sign and an $800 piece
of merchandise in the Friday night incident, went to great pains
during an hour conversation with Fountainhead to stress that
he, and many other merchants, did not support the actions of
the Police during the incident.
And, several other merchants have expressed the same
opinion-that perhaps the city police were as much to blame for
the incident as anybody.
So, instead of trying to work co-operatively with these
people the SGA is going to antagonize them by boycotting their
stores.
Then, there is the selective type boycott that no doubt would
be used. One that would O-K traffic downtown at the clubs and
bars but forbid daytime traffic to stores. That is about as
hypocritical as you can get. And, that is exactly the type
boycott that was staged several years ago when the students
were fighting for visitation. It is ridiculous to boycott stores but
support "happy-hour" traffic.
The SGA should continue to seek redress for the actions of
the police during the Friday night incident. But, they should
seek this redress through legal channels before the council
itself, and then in the courts if necessary.
But, a boycott will cost the students more than they will ever
gain.
The boycott threat has served its purpose. Hopefully the
SGA will lay the threat to the grave next Monday.

Editorial stand draws
student criticism
To Fountainhead:
I thought the student body might
wish to hear some comment on your
editorial in last Thursday's Fountainhead,
the one which stated that the SGA went
overboard in its recommendation that the
chief of police be removed.
I have just finishecdm internship with
the Attorney General's office in Raleigh
in his Criminal Justice Training and
Standards Council and I also served as
SGA Attorney General last year, so I do
not feel that I write my feelings out of
ignorance, as some in the past have
done.
Frankly, Mr. Taylor, you have sold the
students down the river. Throughout your
piece you talked about "politics" and
"reality but you never talked about
beatings and gassings of the innocen1
people who were harmed, by mistake 9bi
with malice, because of the reaction of
the police force, which Chief Cannon is
responsible for.
For the first time in the four years
that I have been at ECU, the Student
Government has taken a strong, gutsy
stand on some issue where more than
just money is at stake. They are now
getting attacked by people like you who
would like to play "politics" with the
safety and even the lives of the students.
How odd that the politicos refuse to play
"footsie" with the powers that be, but the
editor of the campjs newspaper wants
to.
The SGA's vote to remove Cannon
was not meant to be punishment, but to
guarantee that things which happened
Halloween night will never happen again.
The SGA committee did not discover one
iota of evidence that the city officials or
the police have changed their attitudes
concerning the incident. They have not
made on public statement to the effect
that the students "might" not be totally
guilty or that the police "might" have
over-reacted. Yet you, Mr. Taylor, call on
the SGA to "play politics" with these
people.
ADpraises
marching band
To Fountainhead:
On behalf of the Athletic Department,
I'd like to congratulate the members of
the marching band for their outstanding
effort and tremendous support of our
athletic department this fall.
Their rendition of the Star Spangled
Banner and the halftime shows they nave
presented at the football games were an
entertaining part of every game for the
students, faculty, and alumni of the
university.
We look forward to many years of
continued success and you have our
utmost support.
Signed,
Bill Cain
Athletic Director
One more thing, I would like to know
where you got your information
concerning the extent of injuries as a
result of the incident. Are you sure that
all that was received that night was a
black eye? Talk with Gwen McDonald or
some of the others that were shown the
concept of "justice without trial then
tell your readers that all that was
received was a black eye.
I believe that when all the facts are in,
especially through the trials, it will be
proven that the SGA's actions will be
shown valid and it will be shown that
they used serious responsible judgement
in making their case.
Sincerely,
Robert Stagg
Editor reminds
student of
Ben Arnold
To Fountainhead:
So all the students got Halloweer
night was a "black eye right? Hov?
could the editor of a campus paper which
has been publicizing account after
account of the needless violence and
gassing done by Chief Cannon's police
force to crowds of mostly innocent
students come to the conclusion that all
these fifty-six people arrested, and all
those scores of people trapped inside
crowded nightclubs got was a "black
eye?"
The Chief of Police is responsible for
the actions of his men, and those actions
on the night of October 31 were far from
just. The chief of police ordered the use
of tear gas on people who were not
warned. That is not just.
We students haven't heard a single
word from the powers that be (the ones
you talk so well about in your editorial)
that the students were not to blame for
all the violence that night, or that the
police force was, for the most part, cruel
and ruthless in much of what it did. You
asked the Student Government to
compromise, to deal with people who
want nothing to do with the students of
this campus except take our money.
The SGA deserves backing on this.
They are in for some heavy critic0 n, but
I think they're doing the right Ping in
sticking up for the students. N o one
else is - and that includes the editor of
the school paper.
Go back to writing bitchy editorials
about how SGA cut your salaries, Mr.
Taylor, and when a situation arises where
the students need responsible, strong
support, as we do now, let someone else
on your staff write the column. I thought
Benedict Arnold was dead.
We want action!
No Name, Please
(The Chief's probably keeping a list)
Letters must be signed
Not too many months ago this writer was complaining about
not getting any response from the student body in the form of
letters to the editor to the paper.
Well, at least that problem has been solved for the time
being since the paper has been receiving an average of at least
four to five letters each issue for the past six months.
But, along with that increase in letters has come another
problem.
While we enjoy most of the letters received so far-most of
them have lacked one important thing-a valid signature.
We think that if someone has something to say important
enough they want it printed in 8500 copies of our paper then it
should bear a signature.
Signed letters are more crediable and have more impact-and
they also protect the paper from possible suit.
Fountainhead will continue to welcome the written
expression by the student body and staff about issues on
campus, in the community or about anything you may like or
not like about the paper-but from now on all those letters must
be signedand also carry an address.
Unsigned letters will be deposited in the round file at the
end of the desk.
Please note, there are some letters in this issue that are not
signed. We will print them since they were received before the
new policy was publicized.
But, beginning with the issue next Tuesday all letters must
be signed.

Much has recently been written about
Costa Rica and the many American

there. Had it not been for a bout with
breast cancer, we would already be
among them.
Since I last wrote you, because of the
excellent medical facilities in Costa Rica,
I have been given the okay to start

draws thanks
To Fountainhead:
Our Sports Medicine Team has been
doing a terrific job at all the major
athletic events. I think they should
receive more recognition for their efforts.
It would be of interest to know more
about the people who make up this team
and what their part is in the athletic
world. I hope that the Fountainhead will
do an article on them in the near future.

can hardly wait!
Cost of living is still low and taxes
there are nearly nonexistent, we can live
comfortably on my husband's modest
Navy retirement pay. We can hunt in the
nearby mountains, fish in the Pacific
and, if we ever tire of that, we can play
golf and tennis, or just laze around in the
sun (as we used to do in now
many-times-more-expensive Hawaii).
We really are very excited about it. So
much so, in fact, that if any readers
would like more information about this

be happy to share what I know with
them.

According to letter in DTH
Writer thinks Carolina has more class
To Fountainhead.
The following letter was printed in
"The Daily Tar Heel the University of
North Carolina's student newspaper, on
Tuesday, November 11, 1975:
Pabst blue in the face
To the editor:
Every day we are confronted with
reminders of how great it is to be at
Carolina. Not a day goes by that we don't
see a bumper sticker proclaiming "I'd
rather be in Chapel Hill But does
anyone really know "How sweet it is to
be a Tar Heel?"
On Halloween night a friend and I
went to East Carolina. People were
milling about in the streets drinking and
having a good time. The bars were wall
to wall people inside. Around eleven
o'clock there were more people on the
streets than before. Someone popped
some loud firecrackers. Then, what
looked like a big skyrocket flew into tne
air. It fell to the earth and skidded along
the street emitting a thick grey smoke. A
student shouted, "Clear the streets, the
cops have tear gassed us, get out of
here
My eyes were burning, I couldn't see,
and I was chocking on the smoke. The
police moved in with riot gear and high
pressure water hoses to try and dispel
the students. The students began
breaking store windows and throwing
beer cans and rocks at the police cars.
But they were no match for the tear gas
and police in riot gear.
This action by the police was
unnecessary and constituted excessive
force. The police chief of Greenville
stated he gave two warnings to disperse
and the crowd began throwing bottles.
He must have been standing a long way
from where I was. I heard no order to
disperse. I saw no bottle throwing until
the police used the gas. The police
themselves caused the riot, which
resulted in two serious injuries and
Tear gas incident noted
To Fountainhead:
A tear gas canister can be dangerous;
especially when aimed at the wrong
person. The police, remembering the riot
of the previous Halloween, apparently
decided revenge would be sweet this
Halloween. At least from talking to many
people, this seemed to be the case. The
television news coverage of the riot
beginning before police intervention is
untrue, according to many people,
including my friends Keith Jones and
Mac. They report that the riot did not
begin until the arrival of the police. Then,
without any warning, they blocked off the
streets and sprayed the tear gas.
I was downtown myself and before
everything began, I was in the
Rathskeller. On my way to the
Rathskeller, I cannot recall any police on
the streets. Everything seemed peaceful.
People were standing on the streets
talking. On my way to the Attic, about
11:15, I saw police lined up on the
streets. After I arrived in the Attic, people
behind me began pushing and shoving.
No sooner than thirty minutes after I was
in the Attic, my eyes started burning. I
thought it was caused by cigarette
smoke. I headed towards the restroom,
took a breath, and felt my nostrils burn. I
remembered someone in the Attic telling
us to go downstairs because they were
tear gassing the streets, so I figured that
was what was causing this sudden
burning sensation. All of a sudden, in
the middle of one of their numbers, the
performers actually had to stop playing
and an announcement was made.
Everyone in the Attic was told to head
out the door towards Fifth Street or they
would be subject to arrest. There was
instant panic, comparable to that of
yelling "fire" in a crowded building. No
one knew which door to use because
there is usually only one door open in
the Attic. In this case, it was the wrong
door; the back entrance away from Fifth
Street. I was as terrified as everyone
else. I have a tear gas phobia anyway,
and I was wildly asking "which door?"
Luckily, I chose the right one, covering
my face with my coat, and still panicking
as much as ever, pushed and shoved
along with everyone else. Fortunately I
did not get hurt or arrested but many
others were not as lucky. This is of
course with the exception of the burning
sensation I felt in the Attic which Keith
Jones later assured me was the result of
the tear gas bombs the police had put
there. He also said he was in the Elbo
room when tear gas was sprayed inside
three times; once towards the stage.
Perhaps the police did get their sweet
revenge but what they failed to realize is,
that when tear gas canisters and bombs
are thrown, they can be highly explosive.
$4,000 damage.
A riot of this type could never happen
at Carolina, because Carolina has class. I
saw very little class during my visit to
ECU. The students constantly reminded
me of the score of the UNC-ECU game.
People were cursing Carolina everywhere
I went. ECU should be in the NCAA with
State. No Class At All.
Two completely different types of
people go to ECU and Carolina. ECU is
too wild for me. It's the type of place you
like to go to raise hell at, but you don't
want to set up permanent bar there. A
bumper sticker I saw in an East Carolina
bar best sums up the character of ECU. It
said, "ECU beats Carolina blue, nothing
beats Pabst blue

I guess I am qualified to rebut Mr.
Ellis since my permanent residence has
been in Chapel Hill for 22 years and I
attended East Carolina University for 3 of
those years (i.e I have experienced
"class" of both schools); however,
unfortunately I cannot speak of the
particular Halloween incident that
provoked this letter because I was not
present. My response could only be an
emotional one.
I ask the ECU students to answer this

Editor's Note: Fountainhead would like
to encourage ECU students to respond to
the ridiculous letter that appeared in the
Carolina student newspaper.
Letter writer claims he is the man upstairs
Editor's Note: This newspaper has
received letters from Mr. Changey for
several years. In each one he claims to
be God. His letters are alway funny and
this one we thought we would share with
you.
As Almighty GOD, I greet you.
It seems as though I have known
many Editors and Publishers a lifetime. I
trust our companionship has been an
amiable one?
Our Letters are read throughout the
world, including the Vatican and the Far
East Our Letters are read with Hope and
Enthusiasm. Would to Grace, the
response were more stable.
My Son and I love to receive letters,
in response to the Ones We send. We
answer each and every letter. There is
absolutely no need to fear a GOD above
Me-there simply is NONE. I Am One
GOD above all in this life and in the one
to come.
So when one awakes from the dead,
the Face and Knowledge will be
recognizable as the One he trusted in real
life. So I will say: "Arise and come to Me
My beloved and share the joys of My
Household for all Eternity The Lamps
of Love have been lit when We were all in
human flesh Now, the beginning of a
new world is at hand, where Love will
drown out sorrow, the Maim will walk
and the Blind see. Time heais all wounds
and a perfect Heart will be given to Me,
your Living GOD.
As the Sun must set, so must My
Holy Words fade from view. My Son has
taken My Dictation to uphold a perfect
Truth. My Holy Name is never written on
paper. My humble Son will sign his name
so a guiding Light will shine in the
OOTOMMMtf
Heavens for you.
PS. Enclosed is a short synopsis written
by My Son on Our mailing activities.
I earn my living as a Turret-Latne
operator in a Machine Shop. The money I
spend for my books, letters, stamps, etc.
come from my wages. I work eight hours
per day in the shop. On my off-days,
Saturdays and Sundays, I send letters
over the world. I only average between
150 and 200 letters these two days. I
have been doing this for the past fifteen
years.
I reiterate: My Father GOD, and I
have NOT received One Red Cent - in Our
thirty-odd years together - for Our efforts
through the mails; nor do We wish any
compensation. Our only aim in life, is to
let people know that GOD Exists in this
Form in Our lifetime, here, on earth.
Our mailing list is taken from The
m
Editor and Publisher Yearbook. This
numbers about 15,000 Editors of daily
newspapers in the United States. We
cover almost all daily newspapers in
Canada, Great Britain, Australia, much of
Africa and other parts of the world. We
cover almost all College and Negro
newspapers. Also, a few hundred weekly
newspapers from various states. Ojr
mailing list totals almost 3,000 names.
The response has been sparse - not
as good as We would have liked it. But
there are Editors, who, through the
goodness of their heart, plant the seed of
Hope in countless numbers of humans,
so the Light of Salvation will shine more
brightly. I pray, you are one of these
Editors or Publishers.
Prayerfully yours,
Eugene Changey

Student notes attempts

To Fountainhead:
After living in N.C. continuously since
August 1974, the Business Office would
(and still won't) not grant me my in-state
tuition status. I could not find any reason
to justify this non-resident status other
than the Business Office's constant reply
of "insufficient information Finally, I
managed to convince Mr. Vainwright that
he should give me one concrete anwer.
Lo and behold, my crime and negligent
act which caused the denial of my proper
residency status became apparent when

To Fountainhead:
This is in response to a letter written
by "Mover" in the Nov. 11th issue of
Fountainhead criticizing the display of
ECU-38 - UNC-17" bumper stickers.First
of all, if "Mover" doesn't want to display
such a sticker, then that's his business.
If I do, then it's my business. No one
was forced or even asked to display the
bumper stickers. They were simply made
available for those who "wanted" to have
one. I, for one, have one of those bumper
stickers on my car and I'd even display
one that read: "ECU 3 - Citadel 0" if
such was made available.The point is not
to rub anything in but I'm very proud of
the entire athletic program at ECU and I'd
support every team here. It just so
happens that I have favorites, just as
most sports-minded individuals, and
football and basketball are among them.
Furthermore, the person that wrote
the letter and signed it "Mover" showed
his ignorance and lack of knowledge
when he stated that State does not
advertise it when they beat Carolina. I
was in Durham just yeslerday Nov. 10th
and saw several cars with red bumper
stickers that read: N.C. State 21 -
Carolina 20 If that isn't advertising, "as
Mover" puts it a pig isn't pork.

anyone could move to N.C. and attend

college doesn't discriminate against its

If anyone reading this is stupid

Reader notes incident coverage
To Fountainhead:
This is a letter concerning the "riots
I have two criticisms. First is that The
Fountainhead billed the incident as a
riot. And second, the Police didn't issue
any clear cut definition of a riot.
What the Police prevented could very
easily have been another "Kent State
The evidence now points to the
Guardsmen being at fault. The Police
have given a warning to the juvenile
delinquents and to the Police for the next
time: Next time they may shoot. They
have a right to protect themselves. A
demonstration won't even have to happen
on campus.
When does vandalism become a riot?
During a riot I believe National Guard
troops can be called in if they are
requested. With the war over, most of the
boys home, the Guardsmen don't have
much to do.
I used to live in Arlington, Virginia.
It's about five minutes out of Big
Washington. Those were riots. I don't
remember if the Police were being shot
at or not. In any case, there seems to be
similarities between the Greenville Riot
and the DC. Riot.
They both stem from something
beyond the participants control, both
Police and Policed. In D.C. the riots
erupted from people's dissatisfaction
with the economic situation and their
inability to change it. Economics played
into the Greenville riot when the "rioters"
thought they could get some free window

police overreacted
To Fountainhead:
(Given to SGA November 6th by Helen
Pope, owner of Snooty Fox.)
First let me say that I support our
local police department and have always
received prompt and courteous service
from them. I was not downtown Friday
night and base my opinions on talks with
people who were.
I think that the police should be
reprimanded for their actions Friday
night. I do not think good judgement was
used and using tear gas on college
students is abdolutely ridiculous (we're
not Watts but Greenville).
If our police need more training in
coping with the college student
population arrangements should be made
to provide this.
College students, or the ones I have
dealings with are on the whole
responsible, decent young adults. Not
the vicious vandals depicted by our city
officials and police.
I am delighted that the SGA is
investigating this incident. It shows that
the students are level-headed and
responsible. This should never be
allowed to happen again. Our city
officials have to be made aware of the
fact that concerned citizens of Greenville
will not tolerate the undue force and
war-1 ike tactics that were used Friday
night.

merchandise. The participants were also
dissatisfied with being gassed.
The result of a riot is the attitude left
and who the blame is placed on. If the
students started throwing rocks at police,
if the looters started burning the city, if
the Police over-reacted in their attempts
to defend law and order, then people
hearing about it will blame someone.
Most arguments will stem from the side
believed acting properly. Not too much
will change that. Mentioning the riot
again will only harden these feelings. The
only way things are going to change is if
people change themselves. Change, if it's
for the better, is better for all. Change
brought about by violence can only be
met with violence. This is what happened

changed a little, but how long did that
change last?
If Greenville wants change, then
people's attitudes will have to change.
One night can be a means to this end.
One night in "rioting" changes attitudes.
One night devoted to a halloween party
could also do this.
A separate costume contest of
students, off-duty Police, on-duty Police,

A costumes contest for the chidlren

Fly club off the ground
By WAYNE HILL
Staff Writer
The newest organization on campus is
the ECU flying club. It was initially
started last spring when the SGA
approved its constitution. The founder of
the organization is Rick Ketner, who is
also president of the club.
The club was started for the benefit of
the students who are interested in flying
small private airplanes. There are four
actual purposes of the club. tney are: to
offer reduced costs in flying, to increase
interest in aviation, to offer professional
flight instruction, and to increase
awareness of aviation safety.
Ketner noted his reasons for forming
the club were to find other people
interested in flying that would want to
share the costs of flying and that he
noticed that other colleges had formed
flying clubs. Ketner remarked that he
flies because, "I just enjoy it. I flew as a
passenger in a light airplane and the pilot
let me fly for a few minutes. I got hooked
on flying
The procedure for learning to solo
under the ECU flying club is two-fold.
First there is the actual flying experience
with a Professional Flight Instructor.
This consists of briefing the student
before entering the plane each time,
teaching him to operate the plane and
functioning within the plane. Also, there
is an evaluation of the day's lesson and
what the student has learned during the
day's flight.
The second part of the procedure tor
learning to solo is the classroom
situation of ground school, where the
student becomes familiar with the
operation of the airplane, the Federal
Aviation Administration, and the basic
principles of meteorology and flight.
The ground school of the ECU flying
club consists of a programmed text in
which there is a scheduled syllabus of
the rate at which a student should learn
to fly. In the near future the program is
going to be supplemented with the most
modern audio-visual equipment available
to flight students.
The ECU flying club is being
sponsored by Alfa-Aviation of Kinston.
Alfa-Aviation is now in the process of
turning their new headquarters in
Greenville into an operations base
complete with modern classroom
facilities.
The company has already made
airplanes available to ECU students in
the flying club. These airplanes are now
based at Pitt-Greenville Airport. The type
of airplanes that are available to ECU
students at the moment are the
Grumman American Trainer and the
Traveler also made by the Grumman
Aircraft Corporation. The Trainer is
considered to be the best training aircraft
for private pilot students on the market
today. Also being moved to Greenville for
the benefit of ECU flying club students is
the Grumman American Cheetah and
Tiger. Available at a later date will be
multi-engine airplanes for those students
wishing to obtain a multi-engine rating.
The ECU flying club will be using the
Pitt-Greenville Airport for its base of
operation. Three instrucotrs will be
available to aid club members. The three
professional flight instructors are Duane
Eisenhauer, Randolph E. Sneed, and
Jack Stebbins. The instructors are
certified to teach students to become
private or commercial pilots, to obtain an
airplane transport rating, to become
certified flight instructors, instrument
flight rating, certified flight instructor in
instruments, and to obtain a multi-engine
rating. The instructors have over
ten-thousand hours of flying time.
The ECU flying club has not set any
direct meeting times, but plans are in
action now to do so. If any interested
persons want to know more about the
club they may contact Rick Ketner at
752-5543.

Over the river
Thanksgiving;
Amtrak style
By PAT COYLE
Features Editor
As virtually everyone knows, this is
the eve of America's Bicentennial. What
better way to get into the spirit of
America than by taking a Thanksgiving
voyage on the rails - Amtrak style.
Our "pilgrimage" south began in
Rocky Mount After a few Falstaffs with
the old boys down at Robbins Pool Hall,
we boarded the train, unsteady but ready.
The first step was finding our way
through six carloads of sleeping people
until we finally arrived at our coach. After
several flicks of my Bic we located our
seats - and the drunk who had adopted
both of them.
The conductor obligingly prodded him
back to reality, and we were enlisted to
help him find his $12.95 Sears-Roebuck
Corf am penny loafers.
I complained to the conductor that
the trains rocking was making me motion
sick, and he informed me that the train
was not yet moving, at which point we
decided to make our way to the club car.
For anyone who doesn't know, the
club car is the Tamerlane of the tracks.
Within its walls you will be wined
(mini-bottles and Cokes), dined (dry-
roasted peanuts), and entertained with
music (the guy with the Panasonic tape
player and the Four Seasons Greatest
Hits).
An old man came over and offered us
a drink, which we gratefully accepted
until we saw the half-empty bottle of
Ripple in his pocket.
A dude bound from New York to
Yemassee, S.C. invited us to play cards
with him. When I suggested we play
Crazy Eights, he shook his head,
muttered something about white turkeys
and ambled away.
The thrill we got from having a
birdseye view of the "ladies of the
evening" on Hay Street in Fayetteville
was topped only by our excitement at
seeing "South of the Border" in alt its
neon glory. The resort, which received a
4-star rating in the Mobil Guide to Tacky
Tourists Traps, was so inspiring that our
elderly friend produced a brand new
bottle of Ripple (pagan pink, of course).
Looking at my watch, I was shocked
to see that we were 20 minutes from our
destination. My companion and I
retreated to the ladies room (DO NOT
FLUSH WHILE TRAIN IS IN STATION), to
beautify ourselves for the reunion with
my sister.
We returned to our seats so as not to
confuse the conductor.
My friend commented on the fact that
Amtrak certainly has lumpy seats. I
leaned over just in time to have the
"lump" move, ramming $6 worth of his
$12.95 Sears-Roebuck Corfam penny
loafers in my mouth.
The conductor yelled "CHARLES-
TON and we prepared to end our train
ride. As the train drew to a halt, I was
stricken with the thought that Amtrak,
Ripple, and Sears-Roebuck Corfam penny
loafers are what make America what it is
today.

lowan drops football for soccer's freedom
Chris Ellerbroek, a junior at Cornell
College in Mount Cernon, Iowa, is
playing football this fall. At first, that
may not seem strange, as he was
starting quarterback on the Rams' varsity
football team last year.
But Ellerbroek wears no helmet or
pads this year, and he never throws the
ball; in fact, he never touches the ball
with his hands. He is playing English
football this fall, better known in America
as soccer.
Ellerbroek gave up a game he had
played (and starred in) for 10 years and
took up a game completely new to him.
Ellerbroek began participating in
American football when he was in fifth
grade and finished high school on an
all-state honorable mention quarterback
on the Iowa second-place class 3A
football team.
A letterman in both his freshman and
sophomore years for the Rams,
Ellerbroek completed 49 of 108 passes
last season and rushed for 297 yards to
lead the ground scoring attack with five
touchdowns.
Own Decision
He made the decision to switch to
soccer entirely on his own. He explained,
"After playing football for 10 years, I
wanted a change of pace. I've found it in
soccer.
"With my class load, I also didn't feel
I could continue to devote the time
necessary for playing quarterback

Ellerbroek is a pre-modical student
majoring in chemistry. He c. rrently holds
a 3.8 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
"I'm taking full advantage of the
variety of athletic opportunities available
at Cornell Ellebroek explained.
"Cornell's intercollegiate athletic
program offers the student-athlete an
avenue for self-expression.
Lacks Freedom
"I've found soccer offers an
exhilarating sense of freedom. Football,
with its heavy padding, many inter-
ruptions and emphasis on size and
weight, lacks a certain amount oi
freedom. Soccer, especially with the
guys playing at Cornell this year, is a
more informal and relaxing game he
said.
"Soccer players are invariably
interesting people too, because at least
in America, they were originally attracted
to the game because of its qualities, and
not because of society's pressure to
compete.
"I hate to use the words 'free souls
but that is probably the best way to
understand them Ellerbroek continued.
Athletic director Paul Massake, who
also is an assistant football coach, feels
Ellerbroek's decision to play soccer is an
excellent example of one advantage of
attending a small liberal arts college like
Cornell.
"Our student athletes are free to play
whatever sport or sports interest them.
We have no athletic scholarships to bind
players to individual sports and our
program, by intent, is very low pressure
Maaske said.
Coach Pleased
Soccer coach Jim Davis is pleased to
have a natural athlete like Chris out for
the team.
"Chris is a good player and he is
picking the game up quickly Davis
reported. "He tends to be a bit too
physical at times, but he is improving
rapidly
Chris will be off campus next fall,
taking advantage of Cornell's Experiment
in International Living program in
Denmark, so this is his first and last
opportunity to play intercollegiate soccer.
Ellerbroek is enjoying the game and
seems to fit in well with the other
players. Perhaps he has found his sport
after all, because, as he says, "People
have always told me I should play soccer
because of my size-13 feet

When downtown just won't do:

The Carolina Cowboy Sal
? II
n
By CINDY KENT
Staff Writer
Unbelievable as it seems, it IS
possible to get tired of the old downtown
routine. Many students lately have found
a solution and a change of atmosphere at
the Carolina Cowboy Saloon in Stokes.
Located in an old antique auction
building, the Saloon "is based on
friendship, not making money said
co-owner Buzz Ledford. "We want to be
more than just a bar where you can go to
drink beer.
"The Saloon offers the kind of music
that people like to hear but only get
occasionally: progressive country, blue-
grass and old-timey music said
Ledford.
They opened September 12 with the
Super Grit Cowboy Band, which features
Clyde Maddox (21 years on the pedal
steel guitar). Since tnen, it has gainea a
reputation as a place to go to relax and
have a good time. Big enough to house a
large game room with pool and footsball
tables, the Saloon offers opportunity for
clogging, sitting, and listening to the
music, and talking with folks (the music
doesn't BLARE out all attempts at
conversation).
Since it is a 10 mile drive to Stokes,
many students have had problems
getting out there (or rather, problems
getting motivated to get out there). But
good country music deserved a fresh
country atmosphere, which is what the
Saloon boasts.
The Bitter Creek String Band (the
house band) and the Red Clay Ramblers
are two bands that frequent the Saloon.
The Red Clay Ramblers were featured in
an off-broadway show, "Diamond Studs
in New York for almost a year.
THE WILLS BROTHERS
Other types of first-class, easy-listen-
ing bands also play at the Saloon, such
as Bro-T-Holla from Chapel Hill This
band turns out such classics as
Moondance" by Van Monson and
"Doctor My Eyes" by Jackson Browne, all
with the ease and showmanship of true
professionals. Bro-T-Holla's other songs,
not usually performed at all by bands in
Greenville (much less performed well),
are ones by Jesse Colin Young, Bob
Dylan. Livingston Taylor. Fleetwood Mac.
and Michael Murphy.
The Carolina Cowboy Saloon now has
a capacity of 266 people, but there's a
possibility it may move to a larger
location.
"Right now we're charging about
$1.C" admission said Ledford. But if
we could get a capacity of 500 or 600
people, we might be able to get such
performers as Doc Watson and John
Hartford, for just a couple dollars
admission "
At any rate, the Saloon seems to be a
friendly sort of place that offers a chance
to get away from all the tear-gas and
have a good time.

Gal"
t.iected exclusively from
photographs in the National Anthropo-
logical Archives, the collection was
shown at the National Musaum of
Natural History during the 1970 Festival
of American Folklore. The photographs
are now on national tour under the
sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion.
Among the photographs are portraits
of individuals and groups as well as
depictions of Indian ceremonies and
crafts such as weaving, basketry and
pottery-making.
According to National Anthropological
Archives staff member Joanna Scherer
the collection of photographs conveys a
truthful image of the American Indian in
contrast to the stereotypes and
distortions perpetrated by popular
illustrators
Many of the photographs were taken
by the Smithsonian's Bureau of American
Ethnology, an organization founded in
1870 to study the history, languages and
culture of North American Indians. The
Bureau also acquired early photographs
taken by such noted commercial and
government photographers as Alexander
Gardner and William Henry Jackson.

By BARBARA LEWIS
Pop Scene Editor
"You can't wipe out a species to make
lipstick said David Crosby, half of the
team of Crosby and Nash, and one
quarter of Crosby, Stills, Nash and
Young, in his New York hotel suite.
Crosby's assertion is an explanation
of his new ABC-Dunhill album with
Graham Nash, "Wind on the Water
which concerts itself with the preser-
vation of whales.
Nash and Crosby do not believe in
writing unless the music says something.
This time they are crusading for the
protection of marine life. They have, in
previous albums, protested the Kent
State slayings, Watergate and the
Vietnam conflict.
"We don't pick out causes Nash
declared. "We report to the world as it
argues or conflicts with our value
systems
Both agree that they are part of a
community of creative communicators
who fought for and achieved a change in
society. Nash and Crosby agree on most
things. It is for that reason that the two
work together. They share the same
interest in the sea, which inspired their
MUlJUUl
current joint album.
Some of the material was written, or
at least conceived, while the two sailed
to Tahiti aboard Crosby's 60-foot
schooner. In fact, much of Crosby's life
is spent aboard the sailing vessel or
beneath the sea. He's an avid diver and
has taught Nash to appreciate the beauty
and wonders of underwater life.
"The atmosphere aboard the Mayan is
serene. It's not a cocktail party boat.
There's no television and the sea air is
not good for electronics so we don't even
have a stereo on board
If Nash and Crosby differ, it is in
approach and background. Nash grew up
poor in Liverpool, and left school at 14 to
help support the family. Crosby comes
from a monied California family and was
expelled from more schools than he can
remember.
Crosby expanded on his own
background. "All the schools I went to
said I'd never amount to anything and I
would end up in prison. Frankly, they
were dead wrong. I was thrown out of
Santa Barbara City College, four grammar
schools, four high schools, and three
prep schools. I had an inability to respect
authority. They didn't earn it. And they
didn't get it

Poet to speak
Betty Adcock, author of Walking Out,
will read some of her poems in 244
Mendenhall Student Center on the East
Carolina University campus at 8:00 p.m
Tuesday, December 9. There is no
admission charge, and the public is
invited. The reading is sponsored by the
ECU Poetry Forum.
Walking Out, Adcock's first book of
poems, was published October 30, 1975,
by the Louisiana State University Press.
Of it, William Stratford wrote, "Back of
these poems is a steady sight. In ooem
after poem I sense the company of
someone worthy of attention and trust
Adcock had been previously published
in several anthologies- A Decade of
Poems, New Southern Poets, and others
- and in various magazines - among
these, The Nation, Mississippi Review,
Human Voice Quarterly, Poetry North-
west, and Chicago Review.
She has read at various colleges and
universities and read in Atlanta at the
November meeting of the South Atlantic
Modern Language Association (SAMLA).
Bom and reared in San Augustine,
Texas, Betty Adcock now lives with her
husband, Don, and her daughter, Sylvia,
in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she
works as an advertising copywriter and is
on the editorial staff of Southern Poetry
Review.
Walking Out (Poems by Betty Adcock)
is available at several Greenville
bookstores and at the Mushroom.
Betty Adcock grew up in an old house
whose paint was flaking off. The
atmosphere was of "hot sterility but
Betty dreamed fo a lake. There was no
lake, but Betty dreamed of water in
which she could "cool her hands She
dreamed of a breeze from the lake "to
ruffle the grass and the hair of her arms
The lake was her dream.
From his difficult land (near San
Augustine, Texas), where "every year a
crop lay down and died" and where "a
winter came that could not be got over
Betty's father tried to "walk out"
figuratively through sculpture. He
"whittled from pine blocks" the animals
that he liked to hunt, "deer and bear and
coyote" that were "barely themselves
Finally, they were destroyed in a
ceremonial fire, "the angularanimals
gone, their hollows emptied of
darkness They were not worth saving.
It is hard for anyone to walk out of
water, especially for a women. Betty
quotes from Robert Graves, "woman can
never be a poet. She is a muse or she is
nothing But Betty grew up under a
"blind Texas sun, color of brass, her face
as loud as a street band and as flat
She worked behind a lunch counter in a
bus station, and "Years she's been
mopping upafter babies and truck
drivers Even though her father could
not make it, she had the brass to try.
So first as an advertising copywriter
and more recently as a poet, Betty
walked out.
Stumbling through this world's
darkness, she used words as her cane:
Words tapped my way here:
I use my own stick,
and I have learned to meet you, father,
dark to dark.
As late as November, Betty Adcock,
who has no academic degree, read some
of her poetry in Atlanta at a meeting of
the South Atlantic Modern Language
Association.
Betty Adcock, I think, has found her
lake. She has cooled not only her hands,
but her naked body, in water. And she
has indeed walked out.

ECU biologists involved in study
Dr Mark M. Brinson, ECU biologist,
and several assistants, are taking part in
the largest research project of its kind,
one that is a direct response to the algae
bloom in the lower Chowan River.
The study, a joint North Carolina and
Virginia project, grew out of public
concern about the fresh water problem.
"People living in the affected area
complained that the alqae bloom was
killing fish and thereby hurting their fish-
ing industry Dr. Brinson explained.
"A large study was then ordered with
the ECU Biology Department assigned to
study the nutrient cycling by aquatic
macrophytes
Nutrients are the "currency" for an
ecological system, according to Dr.
Brinson.
"An ecological system has a budget
of nutrients and has gains and losses.
An unbalanced budget may become a
problem and not tell a lot about the
health of a system.
"The Chowan River project requires
much coordination because half of the
river is in Virginia and the affected area
is in North Carolina
The problem was lessened sub-
stantially when a fertilizer plant up from
the algae bloom was directed to stop
discharging wastes into the river,
according to Dr. Brinson.
"The study continues, with various
agencies, to understand the reasons
behind the problem, although the
problem itself is somewhat reduced.

Economic Resources handles routine

and the Environmental Protection Agency

"In Virginia, the State Water Control
Board and university research handles
routine sampling and modeling of the
upper river.
"University research in North Carolina
consists of the ECU Department of
Biology and the Departments of Zoology,
Civil Engineering and Botany at NCSU
Dr. Brinson is also directing a
research project on the Tar River, near
Grimesland, N.C, concerning the cycling
of phosphorous and nitrogen.
"We want to know whether swamp
forests are capable of tying up nutrients
before they move to estuaries and cause
algae blooms according to Dr. Brinson.
"We are studying how fast these
nutrients are cycled and what is
happening to them In the process
One of the big questions which this
research hopes to answer is what
happens when strean 3 are channelized
and swamp forests cut down. Does this
allow more nutrients to move into the
estuaries and compound the problem?
"We have found that swamp forests
are very productive and have fairly
efficient nutrient cycling said Dr.
Brinson.
"We want to determine if these
swamp forests can absorb and tie up
even more nutrients. We have a grant
from the N.C. Board of Science and
Technology to study the swamp forest as
an intermediary between sewage plants
and streams.

Pamlico lacking in reading skills
By FRANCEINE PERRY
ECU News Bureau
In a generation of American school
children remarkably low in reading and
associated language skills, students
enrolled in Pamlico County schools last
year were among the most deficient in
reaaing skills in the nation.
As many as 50 percent of Pamlico's
students in grades 7-12 were reading
below their appropriate grade levels. Of
eleventh graders in Pamlico High School,
only two percent scored in the 90-1 (X)
percentile on a standard reading test,
while 76 percent scored below the 20
percentile.
This year. Pamlico teachers are
tackling this reading problem after
participating in a special ten-week
practical workshop in reading instruction
offered through the ECU General
Assistance Center
The Center, and workshop director
Janice Hardison Faulkner of the ECU
English faculty, produced a program for
the Pamlico teachers who wanted
direction in coping with their students'
reading problems Funding for the
program was supplied by HEW.
One of the unusual aspects of our
Pamlico program is that not only
language arts teachers were involved
said Mrs. Faulker.
"Teachers of other subjects had
experienced the difficulty with which
poor readers attempt to learn history,
geography or science.
"Most teachers have held the
traditional view that reading instruction
should be finished in the elementary
grades, and that skills not mastered there
will probably not be learned she added.
"It thus became the responsibility of
the worKShop leaders to persuade the
teachers in all academic areas that the
refinement of reading skills is gradual,
and that direct teaching of reading skills
must proceed in an unbroken line from
first through twelfth grades
She attributes much of the
enthusiasm expressed by participating
teachers during and after the workshop
to the fact that the need for help in
teaching poor readers was already
identified by the teachers themselves.
"They needed, and wanted, training in
teaching both comprehension and basic
reading skills, along with the required
subject matter
During the 1974-75 school year,
Pamlico students had been surveyed to
determine their primary preferences for
"short courses Among the most

popular topics were adventure and
sports, humor, mystery and the
supernatural, and teen-age fiction.
Of the preferred topics, "teen-age"
fiction was overwhelmingly the most
desired, which indicated that there might
be high motivation to read popular
literature, even among students with
serious reading deficiencies, noted Mrs.
Faulkner.
The ECU workshop fostered an open
forum atmosphere, with each participant
offering suggestions to achieve the chief
objective: helping poor readers to read
faster and better and absorb what they
read
Much of the resulting body of ideas
centered around the use of unorthodox
materials for reading improvement:
catalogues, road maps, newspaper advice
columns such as "Ann Landers road
signs, advertisements, ingredients lists
on consumer product labels, job
applications, legal forms, menus and
even telephone listings.
Strategy for determining the precise
needs for reading improvement was
based on discovering an individual
student's areas of greatest weaknesses
and concentrating on specialized in-
struction.
Among the weaknesses noted by the
teachers were bad habits such as failure
to read from left to right, faulty
recognition of sounds of printed words,
silent mouthing of printed material, low
vocabulary development and general low
comprehension.
"In carrying out plans made during
the workshop, teachers will follow a
course similar to that used by swimming
instructors said Mrs. Faulkner.
"Skills stations will be set up for
students to take quick diagnostic tests to
determine whether they need instruction
in that particular skill.
"If performance is satisfactory at that
station, the student moves to the next
station for a test of another skill until a
test is encountered which the student
cannot pass, and there is when
instruction is begun at a level suited to
his or her individual need
Sometimes textbooks are badly
designed for poor readers, she believes.
"We agree that reading can best be
taught by the use of selections which are
interesting and manageable. Emphasis
should be upon helping the student find
satisfaction and enjoyment and should
teach him to absorb information he will
need for functioning in an everyday
world
Her studies of language arts
deficiences have impressed upon Mrs.
Faulker the fact that not everyone will be
a good reader or even a fair reader.
"Non-readers, however, still must be
able to decipher operator's manuals, job
applications, telephone directories and
other necessary printed forms of
communication she said.
This year the Pamlico teachers are
implementing their workshop training in
their classroom teaching, and consult-
ation is provided by the General
Assistance Center at ECU whenever it is
needed.

State colleges are overcrowded
By DIANE AUERBACH
(CPS)Students applying to state
universities this winter may find
themselves out in the cold. Although
many private colleges are scrambling to
fill empty classroom seats, public
universities, with an eye on bursting
classrooms and thinly stretched budgets,
are turning students away.
As a result, thousands of people who
have attempted to escape an unfriendly
job market by seeking refuge in school
may find the doors closed by institutions
that have economic problems of their
own.
In Colorado, hundreds of applicants
were turned away from the University of
Colorado's (UC) Boulder campus,
Colorado State University and the
University of Northern Colorado because
of enrollment ceilings imposed by the
state legislature.
Classroom space is at such a
premium that UC's College of Arts and
Sciences has even launched a plan to
weed out marginal students. The college
has changed its rules to allow for
academic suspension twice a year
instead of once and has abolished the
"sliding scale" which formerly gave a
break to students with a grade point
average below 2.0.
Turning away so many qualified
students while keeping students with
deficient grades is an "unconscionable
position explained Arts and Sciences
Associate Dean John Cames
At the City University of New York,
which is crippled by the near-bankruptcy
of the city government, officials are
considering restrictions that would cut
back enrollment by 20 percent in three
years.
The school's open admissions would
be preserved for recent high school
graduates, but older applicants and
transfer students risk facing a closed
door.
The Urbana campus of the University
of Illinois has decided to eliminate spring
enrollment in an effort to reduce
enrollment by 1000 students within two
years. Since state funds are tight, school
officials also expect to take drastic steps
to restrict graduate school enrollment.
Meanwhile, the State University of
New York was bombarded by 85,000
applicants this fall?with room for only
35,000 freshmen. The Board of Trustees
approved a freeze on enrollment at 20 of
the 64 campuses, plus a moratorium on
building projects, the Chronicle of
Higher Education reported.
Statewide limits on next year's fall
enrollment are also on the drawing board
in Florida. Armed with a budget designed
to handle a 1.3 percent increase in
enrollment this fall, school officials were
surprised by an increase of 8.7 percent.
Although most of the pressure has
come from the Florida state legislature, a
move to cut back student enrollment is
also supported by the faculty. Florida
State University faculty have complained
that their workload has increased 20
percent in the last three years, with
"possibly disasterous affects on the
students according to one professor.
"The state has clamped down on
higher education spending said an
admissions counselor at Urbana, "and
that's going to leave a lot of students out
of the ballgame
The University of North Carolina, with
7000 more students on its campuses this
fall than a year ago, has imposed some
enrollment restrictions at its Chapel Hill
campus, has cut off new admissions for
the spring term at Appalachian State
University and is considering limits at
North Carolina State University.
"We are over-enrolled, our faculty is
overloaded and we are faced with budget
limitations in our state funding said
C.H. Gilstra, director of admissions at
Appalachian State University.
In the meantime, no one predicts a let
up in the near future on enrollment
restrictions. "It's no news that the
economy is in trouble commented an
official at the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities. "And
that means hard times for state
legislatures, down the line to universities
and students

ECU officials are confident of meeting
a deadline to enroll students in the new
ECU School of Medicine next Fall "if the
bureaucracy doesn't bog us down
Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins said recently.
"We still predict that ECU will
graduate its first class of medical doctors
in 1980 Dr. Jenkins told a Wake County
ECU alumni gathering.
Jenkins retraced briefly a 10-year
struggle to win approval of a new
medical school at ECU. Final go-ahead
for the four-year, degree granting school
was given by the UNC Board of
Governors and the General Assembly
earlier this year. With a dean, Dr. William
E. Laupus, and a core faculty and
arrangements for necessary facilities, the
target date for enrolling the first class is
September, 1976.
"Our new generation of graduates
provides important strength, as ECU
advances toward its goals of develop-
ment and service Jenkins said.
The chancellor called on ECU alumni
to "flex muscles in their communities
and within t,he political process
Discussing future outlook, Jenkins
said, "I can foresee 20,000 students on
our campus in the next 10-15 years, if we
are not held down.
"We are proud of our growth. The

"If It Doesn't Tick-Tock to Us
alumni can be proud and they should
look toward greater participation in
matters affecting the university
Stating his philosophy at ECU,
Jenkins said universities today should
"be in the mainstream of society, as
centers of knowledge, able to address
major problems and offer solutions.
"Every campus has a unique expertise
which should be utilized to deal with
social and economic probels both
within the region and the state.
"Universities should be encouraged to
compete, so long as the programs they
offer are not more costly than the benefit
justified. This can be done and still avoid
wasteful duplication he said.
"Without vigorous work at each
university, our whole system could be
stifled he said.
Jenkins called for equalization of
university salaries to make them uniform
for the same duties by persons with
identical qualifications.
In athletic programs, Jenkins said
ECU is looking to increase the capacity
of its football stadium to about 35,000.
There is "steady upgrading he said. In
football, he said, in the future "we have
our sights on the Peach Bowl, the Gator
Bowl and we can do it
Students named to council
Ricky Price, speaker of the ECU
Student Government Association Legis-
lature, and Maxwell Taylor, a member of
the ECU Consumer Union are the first
ECU students to be named to the
Greenville Human Relations Council.
The Council is an advisory committee
of the Greenville City Council.
The appointment of the two students
is an attempt to give ECU students a
chance to express their needs and
complaints, according to Price.
"The first issue we discussed was the
Halloween incident said Price.
"At the November 18 meeting of the
Council, three recomendations were
passed and sent to the City Council.
"First, we asked that a non-voting,
although speaking, member of the city
council be appointed from the student
body.
"Secondly, we asked the city council
initiate an investigation of police actions
during the incident by a neutral party.
"We also asked that the city council
set up some mechanism of permanent
communication between the students and
the city authorities
The Human Relations Council was
first organized to handle race-relatec
issues, and this is still a primary
function of the council, according tc
Price.
"But in addition to race-relatec
problems, the council is now showing
interest in students' problems.
"The University Housing Office's
contract policy has come to the attentior
of the council as being possibly unfai
and inequitable.

two Massachusetts Institute of Techno-
logy (MIT) analysts.
College graduates are no longer
getting the kinds of management jobs
they thought they were training for
because of an economy that has
absorbed all the management personnel
it has room for. The market is glutted,
forcing grads into lower status jobs. And
the differences between the pay a college
grad and a high school graduate pull is
diminishing every year, according to
the study published in Change
magazine.
The social implications are serious,
the analysts say. Americans could begin
to feel trapped in the social class they
were born into. The escape valve that
education provided could be closed to
more people, and social class lines could
become more sharply drawn.
Many people may end up receiving
less education than their parents for the
first time in American history. And
another first may be that instead of
children finding a higher social niche
than their parents, they may end up with
lower status jobs.
The problem, according to Harvard
Associate Professor Richard Freeman
and MIT Professor J. Herbert Hollomon,
is that while the number of college
graduates has increased, professional
and management jobs haven't increased

at the same pace. The ratio of
college-level jobs to the total number of
graduates dropped by about 3 percent
between 1969 and 1974.
The re.ult is that fewer and fewer
graduates are finding desirable work. For
instance, about one out of every three
male members of the class of 1972 held
nonprofessional, nonmanagerial jobs in
the early 70s. Their counterparts in the
class of 1958 had better luck, with only
one out of ten taking nonprofessional or
nonmanagement jobs.
But finding desirable work probably
seems a small problem to the growing
number of graduates unable to find work
at all. Nine times as many 1972 grades
were employed compared to 1958
graduates. Even high school graduates
had a slightly better chance of being
employed during 1972. Hollomon and
Freeman conclude that in the years
between 1958 and 1974, the "college job
market has gone from a major boom to a
major bust
The analysts predict that students
intending to wait out the job drought by
staying in college may have a long wait
ahead of them. Their study states that
these recent market developments for
college graduates "represent a major
break from the past and are not simply
cyclical or temporary phenomena
They point out that the money
allocated to two typically high employers
of college grads-research and develop-
ment and education?has dropped
substantially since 1964. In the
meantime, more graduates have been
turned out by American colleges and
universities, creating a market flood that
Freeman and Hollomon estimate will last
until at least 1980.

First in ECU history
Women get seven grants
For the first time in East Carolina
history, scholarships have been awarded
to women athletes. The scholarships
were awarded to seven athletes from four
of the women's seven sports.
The recipients were Debbie Freeman,
April Ross, Donna Williford, Frances
?wenholt, Gail Betton, Clare Albrittain,
and Beverly Osborn. These girls were
awarded the scholarships on the basis of
their outstanding ability in both athletic
performances in college, as well as their
performances in high school.
Of the recipients two are seniors, one
a junior, two are sophomores and two are
freshmen. All scholarships are athletic
scholarships.
Swenholt and Osborn are the two
senior recipients. Ms. Swenholt won her
award for her participation in field hockey
and basketball at ECU. Osborn is a
nationally-qualified swimmer for the
women tankers and will participate in
March in the national meet. Swenholt has
twice been named to the Deep South
All-Star field hockey team and was also
chosen to the Southeast Hockey team in
1975.
The junior recipient is Gail Betton,
who is a member of the Lady Pirates'
hockey and basketball teams. Ms. Betton
also has been named to the Deep-South
hockey team twice and, last year, was
named on the Southeast All-Star team.
Sophomores Clare Albrittain and
Debbie Freeman also received scholar-
ships. Albrittain won hers for partici-
pation in swimming, where she is a
national qualifier, and Freeman is a
three-sport star for the ECU women's
program.
Ms. Freeman plays volleyball,
basketball and track at ECU and was a
member of the All-State AAU Track and
Field team in high school. The 5-8, 165
pound Freeman is probably the only
"full-time" athlete the ECU women's
program has and is a definite star of the
future for the women's teams.
The freshman recipients of scholar-
ships are Williford and Ross. Williford
received her scholarships in track and
holds the state record for the hurdles,
which she set at New Bern High School
last year.
Ross plays basketball and volleyball
for the Lady Pirates, after having starred
in high school at Bath.
The seven scholarships are a step
towards the upgrading of the women's
sports programs at ECU, which has seen
the women come under the auspices of
the entire Athletic Department and its
facilities. Catherine Bolton, the co-
ordinator of women's athletics at ECU,
said that she foresees the addition of two
more scholarships in 1976 for tennis and
gymnastics.
Walker honorable mention
Bolding voted All-America
Jim Bolding has done it again. The
junior safety from High Point, N.C. has
achieved yet another first for East
Carolina football with his selection to the
Associated Press Second-Team All-
America team.
Bolding, who also was the nation's
leader in pass interceptions, is the first
East Carolina gridiron star to achieve
such a lofty ranking in any post-season
honors. Last year Danny Kepley was
ECU All SC page 25
selected to the Third-team AP squad.
Since 1972, ECU has had nine Honorable
Mention All-Americas, including Jimbo
Walker to the AP Honorable Mention
team this year.
Bolding's 10 interceptions tied a
Southern Conference single season
record and set an ECU single season
record. For his career, Bolding's 19
interceptions ranks him in the top ten
NCAA lifetime interception leaders. The
career record is 29.
Bolding's selection to second-team
All-America was the loftiest position to
be awarded to a player from North
Carolina, and was equal to the Citadel's
Brian Ruff, who was selected as a
second-team linebacker by the AP, which
is considered the most prestigious of
post-season honors.
Other North Carolina players selected
by the AP were: Tom Higgins, North
Carolina State, third team; Bill
Armstrong, Wake Forest, third-team; and
Jeff Grantz represented South Carolina as
a quarterback on the second team.
Walker's selection as Honorable
Mention came as little surprise to those
close to the ECU team, since Jimbo is
expected to have a good shot at getting
the conference's Jacobs Blocking Trophy,
last won by an ECU player in 1967.
Bolding and Walker also led a
contingent of six East Carolina players
who made the All-Southern Conference
team, which was announced on Monday.
Among the six players selected were
Walker and running back Ken Strayhorn
on offense and Bolding, Cary Godette,
Willie Bryant and Harold Randolph on
defense. Tackle Rick Bennett missed
making the team by a single vote.
ECU'S total of six was second in the
conference to only Appalachian State,
which landed eight players on the squad.
The UPI All-America team will be
announced early next week. Unlike the
Associated Press, which is voted on by
sport swriters, the UPI vote consists of
the nation's major-college coaches.
State dumps Pirates
RALEIGH, N.C-The Pirates were
robbed here last night as the thirteenth
ranked Wolfpack ran past East Carolina
squad, 117-81.
True, State began the rout with a 21-6
tear midway through the first half which
pushed the Pack in front at 29-17 after
ECU held an early 11-8 lead.
With team leaders, Kenny Carr and Ai
Green on the bench, Darrell Adeli and
freshman seven footer Glen Sudhop
pushed State to a 51-39 margin.
Sudhop had 15 during the first half,
when ECU's four leading players picked
up three fouls apiece, many on "home
cooking
Although still in the game at this
point, ECU slowly fell victim to the
influence the crowd had on the referees'
calls.
After closing to 51-43 the Bucs fell
quickly behind as, one by one, Pirate
players, and ECU coach Patton, were
whistled down and out of the game.
First Tyron Edwards, with 12:13 left,
then Reggie Lee, with 10:43 left, add two
technical fouls on Patton, and the Pirates
were down 79-57 with ten minutes left.
At 7:29 left in the game, AI Edwards
followed suit and the travesty continued.
AdeH, Sudhop, Carr, and the Pack
took it from there. Only Wade Henkel's
shooting down the stretch kept the game
from being a complete mismatch.
It was probably too bad ECU was
called for so many fouls, deserved or
not, because the Wolfpack have a good
team. Newcomers Adell, Sudhop and
Green blended beautifully with Carr and
Phil Spence to bewilder the Pirates and
lead to some of those questionable fouls.
When Louis Crosby fouled out to
become the fourth fallen Pirate, the Pack
had built a 102-67 lead.
Over the last four minutes State
played the subs but the damage was
done. ECU however continued to fight as
time slowly ran out.

Opener with Terps
ends in 127-84 rout
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
COLLEGE PARK, Md.?The University
of Maryland's nationally-ranked basket-
ball team demonstrated its awesome
depth and strength here Saturday night,
as it overpowered East Carolina, 127-84,
in the season opener for both schools.
The number two Terrapins exploded
for 34 points over the last seven minutes
of the first half to build a 64-41 halftime
lead in destroying an initially impressive
first-half effort by the Pirates.
Maryland coach Lefty Driesell opened
the game with a three-guard offense of
guards John Lucas, Mo Howard and Brad
Davis, with 6-5 Steve Sheppard and 6-10
Larry Gibson the big men.
East Carolina stayed with the Terps
through the early going, as AI Edwards
hit for long shots to keep it close, while
Sheppard led the Terp cagers.
Twice Maryland moved to an eight
point lead, at 18-10 and at 24-16, but
ECU fought back to stay close. With 6:59
left, Maryland led by just three, 30-27.
Gibson, Sheppard Change Fide
Displeased with the play up to this
point, Maryland's Driesell replaced Davis
with transfer Lawrence Boston and
switched to a full-court zone press.
The results were immediate Boston
and Gibson controlled the boards,
passing off to Lucas and Howard for
easy layups and Sheppard continued to
lead the offensive boards as the Terps
reeled off a four-minute spurt where they
outscored the Pirates, ?1-6, to take a
51-33 lead. It was never close after that.
Leading at the half by 23, Maryland
pulled to a 93-49 lead early in the second
half before ECU settled down and reeled
off 13 points of its' own to pull to 93-62.
ECU never was closer in the second half
The Pirates the remainder of the game
were simply too far behind and too
overpowered to mount any effective
resistance after the first half Terrapin
tear, as Boston and Sheppard surfaced
??i?lfcilU'imiiMHH 'I
as the most outstanding of the Maryland
players. They, along with Gibson.
combined to give Maryland a 65-36
rebound edge for the game.
Rebounding Hurts Most
It was the rebounding which hurt ECU
most as the Terps' outlet passes off the
defensive boards would send guards
Lucas, Howard and Davis in for the easy
bucket, rather than forcing an outside
shot. The caliber of play was patented
Maryland basketball and the style of
Pirate basketball just was no match.
Boston finished with 17 points and 17
rebounds in his first game as a Terrapin
while Sheppard was top scorer with 28
points (he hit 12 of 14 from the floor).
Gibson added 14 rebounds and Lucas
canned 24 points for the Terps These
were the outstanding performances on
the Terrapin team, which shot 57 per
cent.
ECU Shooting Cools Off
For the Pirates, AI Edward's and
Wade Henkel's early shooting kept the

16 of the Pirate first 18 points over the
opening eight minutes. After this stage
neither Edwards nor Henkel scored a
basket and the two wound up 5-for-11
and 3-for-18 from the floor, respectively.
ECU shot only 39 per cent for the
game and, with the Terps rebounding
edge added on. there was no way ECU
could have stayed close.
Very few ECU players seemed to
match up with their Terrapin opposition
Reggie Lee. with 22 points, and Tyron
Edwards' 10 points, seemed to do the
best against the taller and more
aggressive Terps. Earl Garner played 30
minutes, scoring 14 points.
For Buzzy Braman, who returned to
his high school stomping grounds, along
with Lee, Henke! and Garner, it was a
rough night. Braman drew the coverage
of Maryland All-American John Lucas

Reppart leads an improved VMI basketball team
Playing basketball at a military
academy is no special thing for Curt
Reppart. the VMI Keydets' playmaker,
who will lead the undefeated Keydets
against East Carolina on Saturday night
in Lexington, Va.
Strange to some people is that
Reppart chose the military life over some
other places he could ha?f 'tended.
"I had a chance to playen?ijor-college
basketball and get a good education here
at VMI said Reppart. "I had never had a
military background before, but the good
education and a chance to play college
basketball outweighed the military
thing "
After 1-10 season
Reppart said the life of a cadet is
made a little harder by being an athlete,
but that athletics are only a part of his
VMI training.
"Basketball is only a part of the
routine, but since you spend so much
time on a basketball court you have to
make a more concentrated effort on the
academics. In some ways it boosts the
academics because you have to keep up
to play
VMI coach Bill Blair said some of the
problems the school has encountered in
the past because of the Vietnam war and
bad attitude towards military schools
have disappeared, but that the school
still has recruiting problems due to these
factors.
Randle fired as UVA boss
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.?Sonny Randle was fired as head football coach here on
Sunday, November 23, in an official announcement made by Athletic Director Gene
Corngan. The announcement confirmed rumors which had been circulating at this
academically-oriented school since Randle's team had dropped a 66-21 mid-srason
loss to Wake Forest.
But the Wake Forest contest spelled only the beginning of the end for the
excitable Randle, who had been so successful in three years of coaching at East
Carolina University before coming to Virginia in 1974. He was 5-17 at Virginia.
Following a close 17-14 loss the week following the Wake Forest loss, Randle's
Cavalier team was embarrassed in its final three games by East Carolina (61-10),
Syracuse (37-0) and then only 24 hours prior to his dismissal, to the Maryland
Terrapins (62-24).
The team's 1-10 record and Randle's failure to motivate his players were given as
the major reasons for his dismissal as head coach after only completing two years of
his five-year contract.
Corngan, in making the official announcement, gave the following statement
concerning Randle's dismissal.
The losses were only a small part of the complex situation that he (Randle) had
worked himself into here at Virginia. There was not only a conflict in personalities
between him and most of the players, but also his coaching philosophy conflicted
with that of the university's
Randle supposedly has been having marital problems during the last month and
many felt this, too, led to Randle's dismissal, although the poor record and player
discontent were given as the major reasons.
One of Randle's players, Tom Fadden, spelled out some of the problems that
Randle encountered at Virginia.
"There were certain ideas here in Charlottesville that Coach Randle just didn't fit in
with, said Fadden, who had been one of Randle's few favorites at Virginia. "The
university community has given him hell ever since he was hired. His basic
philosophy conflicted with Virginia's philosophy.
He was very emotional and unpredictable added Fadden. "He was liable to
scream anything at you. A lot oi the players here couldn't take that, but it didn't
bother me. Too many players took it personally
Randle's term as coach had been a stormy one since the first day he arrived on the
Virginia campus. His first year he had 20 players, many of them starters, quit during
pre-season drills and many followed the cue in early 1975 season.
With the limited talent he already had, early season injuries to his defensive team
made Randle's attempts at ouilding a sound football program at the school nearly
impossible. Reportedly, as many as 10 players were ready to quit the team next year
if Randle was not fired.
Randle's strict curfews and sacrifices in social life led to most of the philisophical
differences between his players and himself, and, following the 62-24 Maryland loss
Randle said "frame of mind and attitude are the biggest hurdles for whoever coaches
at Virginia next year
After the Maryland game, Randle gave some indication that he already had been
dismissed as head coach, which he had been the week before, but had asked the
Virginia Athletic Department to hold off on the announcement until after the game.
"I'm glad it's over said Randle, after the Maryland game, "I never dreamed
anything like this could happen to me. If I weren't glad something like this was over,
there'd be something wrong with me
Now the nightmare is over for Randle at the University of Virginia, where football
takes back seat to everything else. Randle's noble experiment har failed, or perhaps
the school and its players failed him. He was a winner at East Carolina and can be at
other schools as well, but as he had stated following the 61-10 loss to East Carolina,
"maybe I can't motivate the people here the way I could at East Carolina, they are
different breed of people
CURT REPPART
"Recruiting at VMI is different, the
biggest problem is that one-third can't
make the academics, one-third don't
want to come to a military school, and
the other one-third is the men we are
working with in the players we go after.
"In the past we had to be defense
oriented since we had no good shooters.
We have better players now so we can
run and shoot so that now the other
teams have to stop us instead of us
stopping them. This lets our players relax
more, because they have more freedom
to do what they want to do. They know
they are a better ball team than in the
past
The Keydets' home court is a classic
of sorts. The VMI fieldhouse
nicknamed "the Pit" because it is so coz
that opposing teams are surrounded o
all four sides by screaming Keydet
students and fans. The atmosphere
conducive to the Keydets, who had on,
of the finest years in school history inl
1974-75 with a 13-13 record, the most
wins ever at the school.
Said Reppart about the home cour
advantage in "the Pit
"Playing in the pit is a definite
advantage because the corps are so close
to the court and surround it. Opposinc
teams hate to play there and it has tc
have some effect on the way they play
ECU will be the first real test for the
Keydets this year. VMI has playec
Lebanon Valley, Methodist and Liberty
Baptist College. The early light schedule
is a change from last year, when the
corps played VPI, East Carolina,
Richmond, LSU and small power Soutl"
Alabama in losing six of its first sever
games. Blair indicated this schedule may
have been arranged in such a way on
purpose.
"Opening games are always worri-
some said Blair. "You can never predict
what might happen. Last year we got
beat by 30 in the opener and lost five of
our next six. I certainly don't want that tc
happen again
The Keydets and the Pirates will be
playing their first league contest of the
year and for ECU the game hardly offers
a respite after hard contests with ACC
powers Maryland and N.C. State. In fact,
the Pirates could be hard-pressed to
come back from VMI without an 0-3
mark.

WASHINGTON, D.CHave you ever felt the floor shake under your feet, then
realized that the floor was made of concrete?
Have you ever seen the beer hawkers so thick in number they actually fell over
each other to hand you a $1 bottle of their brand?
Have you ever seen a team blow a 21 -point lead, only to come back in the last
minute to pull the game out by a single point?
If you haven't you don't know what you are missing. The Redskins nipped the
Minnesota Vikings here Sunday in RFK Stadium and it was a sight to behold.
It was a oit odd seeing the Vikings thrashed as they were in the first half, but
some self-professed football expert made the following observation:
"The Vikings may be the next 'Over the Hill' team. When you see them take Alan
Page and Jim Marshall out on passing downs, something is wrong with the Vikings
Don't take it away from the Redskins, though. They did a hell of a job.
Thank You, NBC
A somewhat befuddling announcement was made last week from the friendly
Peacock People stating that Curt Gowdy would no longer be a baseball broadcaster.
This was amusing, in that most folks didn't know what he was doing anyway was
supposed to be considered as broadcasting.
It makes sense, though, because ABC has managed to get part of the baseball
pact for Monday nights next season.
They would be able to help their ratings considerably now if the ABC folks would
assure the public that Humble Howard will not be in that slot, either.
A Travesty Is
East Carolina University being overlooked in the bowl bids this year. South
Carolina, with its more money and prestige, not to mention a 7-4 record.
The football champion of the South Conference finishina the season with a 5-6
record. The University of Richmond is leaving the Southern Conference, which is
probably the smartest move in that town since Grant decided to level the area.
Absolutely Amazing
If you are a sports fan(atic) looking for something to while away the hours, take a
look at the Sports Medicine Division of the Department of Athletics.
This group is in charge of the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries to ECU's
athletic teams, and it is thus a credit to the program to have the Pirates win the
Commissioner's Cup two years running.
If it wasn't for this group, the Pirates would be hard-pressed to win anything.
Congratulations
Jim Bolding was named to the Associated Press All-America team this week, as a
second-team defensive back.
This is quite an honor, since the AP is "the" recognized poll taken from sports
media people throughout the United States.
Bolding led the nation, through the end of the Pirate season, witf 10
interceptions. That is the biggest selling point any candidate could have, getting the
name in the NCAA stat forms week after week.
For a little guy like Bolding, it is some accomplishment.
Congratulations, Jimmy
Football Wrapup
East Carolina turned around what looked like a problem season to a lot of people
into an 8-3 finish, including the last six games in a row for wins.
Congratulations are also in order to these Pirates for overcoming adversity, as
some coaches like to say. With everything that has happened in the ahtletic program
over the last two months, it is amazing once more.
Basketball Is Here
Winter time is here and the ACC has at last found a sport in which it can
compete.
ECU got whipped by an ACC school Saturday night and went to N.C. State last
night to play the Wolfpack. Another game with Duke is set for next week.
There hasn't been an opportunity for this writer to see the Pirates firshand yet, but
vhen this comes, you can rest assured you will be given a firsthand report to match.

7 Pirates dose season with
28-12 victory over VMI
i
East Carolina's varsity basketball team made its season debut last Saturday
against the University of Maryland in College Par, Maryland. The 127-tf4 final score
of that game undoubtedly unsettled many Pirate backers who were hoping for a better
showing by the Pirates.
Despite the score, though, and whatever may have happened in last night's game
at North Carolina State, the games that really count are the conference games. The
remainder are important only in the preparation they provide the team for the league
games, which could lead ECU to the Southern Conference title and a berth in the
NCAA Regionals in March.
This year's Pirate team on paper is superior to the team which finished 19-9 last
year and traveled to the National Commissioner's Tournament in Louisville, Ky. last
year but this certainly didn't show up in Saturday's game with Maryland.
The reason for this was that the third-ranked Terrapins literally shut out the Pirates
under the boards after the first ten minutes. Lawrence Boston, Larry Gibson and Steve
Sheppard did the job on the Pirate bigmen, garnering 40 of the Terps' 65 rebounds, as
well as scoring 59 of their points. The muscle and stamina of these players was just
too much for the Pirate players, who had a cold night shooting as well.
There were other reasons for the Pirates' loss at Maryland, but none of them are
reasons which can not be remedied by playing and hard practice. The biggest reason
was simply that Maryland has a super teama team this writer feels will meet Indiana
somewhere around the latter part of March for the National championship.
As far as the Pirates are concerned, well, coach Dave Patton is quick to point out
that the early games won't make the Pirate's season, except this coming weekend's
game at VMI, which will be a conference game. Rather, Patton feels his squad will
learn the lessons necessary to make the changes which will lead to a successful
season following the Christmas break.
"We certainly found out against Marland what we need to work on. We need to
work on our intensity in playing and get more active on defense. We were standing
and watching them on defense and the big men totally killed us on the boards.
Last year we had a bad start, too, when we got blown out. We had a bad stretch
late in the first half and you can't have a bad stretch against a team like Maryland.
They are the number three team in the country and they played like it against us. The
guys aren't quitting, I'm not quitting. We'll be Lck and it won't take that long.
WHOS WHO ATHLETES AT ECU
The Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities nominations for ECU were
announced earlier this week. This is the list of persons who represent East Carolina in
the national listing which is tabulated each year from college seniors around the
country.
Of the list of 50 students names, seven are varsity competitors on athletic teams at
ECU Among the seven are three men and four women. This fellow Who's Who
rec ' ant would like to recognize these individuals. They are: Larry Lundy, football
(also nominated for a Rhodes Scholarship; Kenny Strayhorn, football; Geoff Beaston,
baseball: Carlene Boyd, basketball and field hockey (now serving as the Women's
Sports Information Director); Susan Manning, basketball; Barbara Hall, field hockey;
and Lea Kemezis, golf.
Congratulations and good luck in the future.
FALL ATHLETES OF THE SPORT
Next week the FOUNTAINHEAD will make public its seasonly Athlete of the Sport
awards for the seven fall sports. Hopefully, the recipients will be awarded plaques at
an ECU basketball game later this quarter in recognition of their outstanding
contributions to the ECU Sports program.
The Outstanding Athletes in the winter and spring sports will also receive similar
plaques for their honor. The FOUNTAINHEAD hopes these awards will bring more
recognition to the Athletic Department and the parts the athletes play on their teams.

East Carolina finished its' bowl-less
football season on November 22 with a
28-12 win over Virginia Military in Ficklen
stadium.
The win was the Pirates' sixth straight
and gave the Southern Conference
runners-up a season record of 8-3. The
Pirates had hoped to recieve a bowl bid
to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando,
Florida, and were under consideration for
such a bid, but the play in the game was
not impressive enough to scouts, who
instead chose South Carolina as the
representative.
Playing before 13,689 fans, including
many members of the 1965 East Carolina
Tangerine Bowl team, the Pirates scored
two touchdowns within 50 seconds of
each other late in the third quarter, to ice
the victory.
ECU held only a 14-6 halftime lead,
but a 33 yard pass interception by Harold
Randolph, and an eight-yard run by Willie
Hawkins, gave ECU two additional scores
and a 28-6 lead after three quarters.
Fumble Leads to Scores
A fumble recovery by Nick Bullock on
VMI's first play of the game gave ECU
the ball at the Keydet 21 and, three plays
later. Tom Daub scored from the four for
the first score and a 7-0 Pirate lead.
Rick Tufaro added a pair of 32-yard
field goals to pull VMI to within 7-6 with
4:55 left in the half.
Following Tufaro's second kick, ECU
put together a 57 yard drive for a
touchdown, with Hawkins' scoring off a
16-yard pass from Mike Weaver. The
score gave ECU a 14-6 halftime lead.
Through most of the third period
defense controlled the game and, with
7:21 left, ECU'S Bullock recovered a
fumble by freshman quarterback Robbie
Clark at the ECU 25.
The Pirates then drove 75 yards for a
score, with Hawkins scoring from the
eight with 1 :40 remaining. VMI's Clark
was starting in place of usual starter
Mark Lambert. The freshman fumbled
three times and was intercepted twice.
The second interception off Clark lee
to ECU's final score when Harolc
Randolph grabbed a Clark pass at th?
VMI 33 and raced into the end zone for c
touchdown, only 50 seconds aftei
Hawkins' score. The score put ECU or
top, 28-6.
Bolding Ties Another Record
Clark's other erroneous pass nearl
led to another ECU score in the seconc
period.
Just before the end of the half, Jinr
Bolding intercepted a pass at the 49 anc
returned it 46 yards to the three, but ECL
failed to score as the Keydets droppec
them at the one, after a fake field goal.
For Bolding the interception raisec
his total to 10 for the season, tying i
conference record, and 19 for his career
In addition, the theft assured the junio
All-America selection of the Nationa
NCAA leadership in interceptions.
Another ECU score was called back ir
the first period, due to a penalty. Th
play was a 48 yard pass-run play fron
Mike Weaver to freshman whiz Eddi
Hicks.
Season Rushing Mark bet
ECU gained 281 yards on the grounc
which gave the team enough yards to se
a season rushing mark of 3,090 yards
The old record had been set by the 197
ECU team.
Hawkins' 96 yards on 16 carries led al
rushers, but Kenny Strayhorn's 62 yard;
established him as the third-leadinc
rusher in East Carolina history, behinc
Carlester Crumpler and Butch Colson
Tom Daub added 53 yards.
Without a post-season bowl trip, th
Pirates, who are 33-11 over the last fou
years, will have to wait until the 197(

Wrestlers roll to second tournament win this season
By SAM ROGERS
Staff Writer
Sparked by the surprise performance
of sophomore Clay Scott, the East
Carolina wrestling team easily out-
distanced all competition to capture the
Monarch Open at Old Dominion
University. The victory was the Pirates
second tournament triumph of the season
after winning the Neptune Invitational
earlier in October.
The Pirate grapplers amassed 127
points, with Southern Conference foe
William and Mary in second place with 83
points. Pembroke State finished in third
place with 44 points followed by Old
Dominion with 33 1 3, George Mason 31
12, the East Carolina "B" team 23 12,
and Richmond with 21 points.
Scott, a native of Baldwinsville, N.Y.
who saw limited action last season,
received the award for the most number
of pins (3) in the tournament as he
defeated five opponents to win the 142
pound weight class. He decisioned Pat
Paticula of Old Dominion 7-5 in the
finals.
Paul Ketcham, Tom Marriott, Ron
Whitcomb, and Mike Radford all won
their respective weight classes. East
Carolina also had three second place
finishers along with two thirds and a
fourth.
Ketcham defeated teammate James
Kirby to take the title in the 126-pound
class while Tom Marriott stopped William
and Mary's Max Lorenzo in the finals of
the 150 pound class. Ron Whitcomb took
first in the 177 division with a 5-3
decision over Pete Moyer of Old
Dominion. Mike Radford decisioned
VMI's Bill Vizzi 8-3 for the title in the 190
pound class.
East Carolina assistant coach Mike
Waller, wrestling unattached, decisioned
the Pirates Phil Mueller 8-4 to win the
167 division. Roger Burns placed fourth
at 167 while Paul Osman took third at
134 with a narrow 1-0 victory over David
Brown of VMI. Jud Larrimore was the
third place winner in the 190 pound class
while John Williams was the runner up in
the heavyweight division.
Bill Warwich of Virginia edged the
Pirates Paul Thorp 6-5 "to win the 150
pound division. Freshman James Kirby
decisioned Rod Buttry of N.C. State 10-6
to win third place in the 126 pound
weight class while Tom Marriott came
back to take third at 142 after being
upset in the second round by UNC's Ron
Juergens. The Pirates only other place
winner was John Williams who took
fourth in the heavyweight division.
"I was glad to see Phil have such a
good tournament because he has really
worked hard this season said Welborn.
"Ron and Mike both came through with
super performances and James Kirby
once again wrestled real well
North Carolina had a total of 11
wrestlers in the finals and consolation
finals while East Caroiina had eight and
N.C. State seven. Other teams competing
in the two-day tournament were Virginia,
Duke, Auburn. Pembroke State and
Appalachian State.
"North Carolina and N.C State both
have some tremendous freshman
prospects which are certainly going to
play a big part in their programs in the
years to come commented Welborn.
"Both teams still have some outstanding
personnel back from last year and they're
going to give us all we can handle in our
dual meets against them
The Pirate grapplers swing back into
action December 12-13 in a tri-mefc,
against nationally ranked teams Oregon
State and Lehigh along with Indiana
State.
andcontinue to stomp A CC teams
For six straight years the East
Carolina wrestling team absolutely
destroyed all competition in the annual
N.C. Collegiate Tournament held in
Chapel Hill. N.C. In 1973, the Pirates
walked away with the first place trophy in
all ten weight classes and last year in
1974 came back with six. Most people
were beginning to wonder why they
didn't rename the tournament the "East
Carolina Invitational
Although no team scores were ever
kept in the tournament, it was quite
obvious that John Welborn's charges
were just annihilating everybody in the
state. North Carolina and N.C. State just
couldn't stand too much more of this
mess. And, after visiting Greenville last
winter for dual meets and still coming
away empty handed things were getting
downright embarrassing.
So UNC head coach Bill Lamm and
N.C. State head coach Bob Guzzo both
went crying back to their respective
athletic directors and demanded money,
money, and more money for their
wrestling programs. And judged by
Carolina's and N.C. State's performance
in the newly-named North Carolina
Invitational Tournament last weekend
both teams must have received plenty,
because they certainly gave the Pirates
all they wanted.
Although East Carolina had three
individual champions including the Most
Outstanding Wrestler in the tournament.
North Carolina and N.C. State both
proved they're going to be tough to beat
this year.
East Carolina's Phil Mueller, a
transfer from the University of Wisconsin
(Stevens Point) pinned all four of his
opponents en route to the title in the 167
pound class and was named the
Outstanding Wrestler in the tourney.
Ron Whitcomb stopped UNC's Steve Brior
to win the 177 pound weight class while
Mike Radford defeated Bill Cassie of
UNC 13-2, to win the 190 pound division.
"Once again we got superb
performances from our three big seniors,
Tom Marriott, Ron Whitcomb, and Mike
Radford noted head coach John
Welborn. "I was real pleased to see Paul
Ketcham and Clay Scott have such an
outstanding tournament. Paul Osman
John Williams, Phil Mueller, and James
Kirby also wrestled well for us.
"Although I didn't think the
competition was that strong, I was still
very pleased to see us dominate the
tournament continued Welborn. "Any-
time you win a tournament you've got to
be happy, but I can still see that we've
got plenty of room for improvement
