SGA misplaces $85,000
Treasury miscalculates budget
By JIM ELLIOTT
News Editor
The Student Government Association
Treasury has a current budget of $15,490,
instead of over $100,000 as had been
anticipated.
However, SGA President Jimmy
Honeycutt stressed that the reduced sum
would not hinder the legislature's funding
of campus oraanizations.
SGA 1 reasurer Larry Chesson present-
ed the revised figure to the legislature at
the Monday night session.
"It is difficult to express my regret
and sorrow, for, in the course of
presenting the new budget I have
discovered this error Chesson said.
A budgetary report given to the
legislature in October indicated the SGA
had approximately $445,000 to work with,
when the actual amount was $353,143.
Chesson said the SGA financial
advisor and the campus auditor agreed
the error was due to a miscalculation on
the treasury's surplus from last year.
Jerry Paul
to help student
class action suit
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
Jerry Paul, who gained national
prominence with the Joan Little Case,
has agreed to visit ECU and talk with
SGA Legislative Assistant Tim Sullivan,
concerning a class action suit for
students arrested during the Halloween
night disturbance.
"Paul said he does not charge for
such cases according to Sullivan who
is also the Chairman of the SGA Select
Committee which investigated the
Halloween night disturbance for the SGA.
Paul, who was contacted in California
by Sullivan, said he will visit
"Paul said he has a lot of interest in a
law suit said Sullivan. "He was here for
the open council meeting in November,
and he received a copy of ther Select
Committee's report.
He said the ECU students were too
apologetic. They were innocent and
apologizing, yet they had nothing to
apologize about said Paul.
The Legislature debated Monday night
whether or not they can hire a lawyer for
the students. State law prohibits the SGA
from hiring a lawyer, but it can donate
mo a student defense fund
Aid to students does not have to be
tl aid. Sullivan explains!
"We are concerned about trie
lents. By law we cannot hire Mr
Paul. At present all we can say is that we
will - ize all those students who
courts so they
work with Paul - or whoever t

introversial but unds as if he is
erned over what happened to the
students Halloween night.
After the budget presentation Honey-
cut said SGA plans to buy another bus
for the transit system were essentially
undermined, but that the funding of
campus organizations traditionally sup-
ported by SGA money would not be
affected
"The situation is serious, but not as
serious as it could be said Honeycutt.
"Judging from past experience in the
SGA, there are not that many groups
(campus organizations) remaining that
will ask for money for the rest of the
academic year
Honeycutt said he anticipates the
legislature has yet to spend $2,000 on a
consumer oriented apartment guide and
another $2,000 on departmental retreats.
In other business the SGA approved
President Honeycutt's nomination of
Johnny Shelton as new SGA attorney
general.
Dennis Honeycutt, the former attorney
general, was unable to hold the post
because he was not enrolled as a
full-time student this guarter.
The legislature approved the nomi-
nation of Shelton, a senior ore-med
student.
Shelton served as public defender on
the honor council this year
The legislature also received several
copies of a pamphlet printed by the SGA
and titled, "This Is Your Voice-Know
How To Use It
Dalton Nicholson, Internal Minority
Affairs secretary, told the legislators that
they could distribute the pamphlets to
their constituencies Copies will be
placed in the Croatan and Student Union
for day students, he said.

SGA denies boycott approval

The SGA Monday night voted not to
give final approval to an earlier decision

chants.

it calls unnecessary tactics used by

Students do have rights
A student has no inherent right to choose his hours. You
may issue cards at your discretion. However, if convenient, and
if the student has worked out a schedule which does not
conflict, it would assist the student in working out his schedule
if, in multiple section courses, you gave him the hour he
requested. Do not try to change any information on the card by
writing on card. Any changes must be authorized and made by
Registrar
The above quote is taken directly from a page of guidelines
given to professors who worked during registration last week
handing out class cards.
Several parts of the above listed items make for some
interesting reading-at least as far as the students are
concerned.
Apparently all the garbage going around concerning student
right does not apply to picking your own class schedule and for
that matter just what curriculum you will major in at this
university.
For, as the first sentence in item three explains, the student
does not have an "inherent" right to pick his classes or
schedule.
Please note students, if it is "convenientthe note does not
say who it is supposed to be convenient for-probably the
professor and not the student�then it is alright for the student
to get the cards they request�but only if it is convenient.
Of all the garbage we have read lately, this little item has to
take the cake.
Maybe we were wrong but we always thought that when you
paid your money�tuition�you could take about any course you
wanted to�whether it was convenient to anybody or not. Of
course we realize there are constraints to this taking any course
you want.
A senior can't take a freshman level course, without
permission, and a social work major could not take an advanced
business course. We understand there are certain course
prerequisites that must be followed.
But, these are procedural matters that all students
understand. What we think most students will fail to understand
is why the Registrars office, which runs registration and is the
think tank that turned out this aforementioned memo, would
send out such a set of directives to personnel handling
registration.
When a student hands the money across the counter at
Spillman at the start of every quarter we think he buys the
"inherent" right to take any course he may choose, within the
recognized boundaries.
The memo writer in administration who cranked out this
beauty should remember that students at this university are not
here at his pleasure, his conveniencethat he is here at their
pleasure and their convenience. And, if he does not think that
then he should consider what ECU would be tomorrow if all
11,000 plus students decided to drop out.
Then the need for this administrator, and his "inherent rights
convenience memo" would be out in the literal cold.
At the very least the Registrar should hire a professional PR
man to write memos since the wording in this one is nothing
but inflammatory.
But, we see in this something worse than just a slip of the
typewriter in preparing the registration guidelines.
For more than likely, there are quite a few people in high
places that support the convenience, no inherent right thesis.
And that causes more worry than just a poorly written memo.
We think students have an inherent right to pick the
courses they desire. And, quite frankly, we aon t give a damn
who it miqht inconvenience.

Use coupons
In today's FOUNTAINHEAD students will find over a dozen
coupon ads worth over $100 when redeemed with local
merchants. The paper sold the coupons to benefit the students
and hopefully the student body will take advantage of these
offers.
Future coupon issues depend on the response that local
merchants get from this first try.

To Fountainhead:
Because I believe that the pen is
mightier than the sword, in writing this
letter I now pick up the former to assist
Mr. Phillip Arrington in his valiant
defense of The Rebel (Fountainhead,
November 13, 1975 issue). Although he is
certainly on guard he can hardly fight the
battle alone and expect a victory to go
down in the pages of ECU history.
Viewed in its totality, The Rebel, like
any literary magazine, is an opportunity
for the intepretation of life and
existence. A creative work of any nature
communicates only if the projected
matter of its contents evokes response.
Unless a work produces rapport between
eye and mind in the form of
contemplation, analysis, and criticism,
that work has indeed failed in purpose.
Erroneously The Rebel has been
viewed as a mere marriage of English and
Art attended only by the individuals of
those university departments. Somehow
those who might hold this myopic
misconception have failed to understand
the essence of any literary magazine's
Last chance to register
To Fountainhead:
For many students, the Christmas
vacation will be the last chance to
register to vote in a referendum of vital
importance to all students in the UNC
System.
On March 23, the same day as the
presidential primary election, there will
be a referendum on a bond issue for the
University. The deadline to register for
this election is Feb. 23, 1976, but many
students probably will not get to go
home between Christmas and that date.
On behalf of the Campaign for
Student Voters, a bipartisan group
organized by the North Carolina Student
Legislature and other statewide student
organizations, I would like to ask you to
publish in your newspaper, before
Christmas vacation, an appeal to
students to register to vote wnile they are
at home for Christmas.
In some university towns, of course,
many students register on campus, but
others choose to register at home; and
some counties do not allow students to
register at all. In any case I urge you and
your newspaper to help make the
students at your university aware of the
upcoming election, referendum, and
registration deadline. Many thanks.
Yours very truly,

scope. Art is not exclusively for Art
majors and literature for English majors;
the substance of art and literature comes
from many diverse fields of knowledge
and experience. The Rebel is not a
narrow product and is open to
contributors of all areas. Even a brief
glimpse of the biographical sketches of
the writers featured in the most recent
issue of The Rebel will reveal that
approximately a third of the literary
contributors were not English majors.
In regard to student interest in the
publication, I think that many of those
who fail to appreciate The Rebel do so
because they do not know how to
appreciate the elevated and the artistic.
For example, it is distressing to find
individuals with closed minds who scowl
sourly when the word "poetry" is
mentioned. Unfortunately such persons
are repelled by the arts because they
have been mentally polluted by ignorance
of the subject; they often fail to see
academic arts as a great adventure
because they grow up believing that
education is solely a "stiff" institution. In
the same respect they also fail to realize
that life's experiences can be enriched by
art and literature and vice versa. With
attitudes such as this it is little wonder
why many students discard the sublime.
At the same time art of literature
expressing very free, uninhibited
attitudes should not be frowned upon as
tasteless garbage simply because a
picture on a page might raise a few
Student has pity for SGA
To Fountainhead:
I'm not concerned with the fate of the
publications this year. I feel this is the
way most students and legislators feel. I
really pity the legislators. When they
cant see a real need, then everyone is
affected.
Why would something like budget
problems arise? All the legislators did
was increase last year's budget. All the
legislators did was to keep telling us
this. The legislators kept telling us. Why
were they telling us?
One of the reasons the SGA has such
a large budget would be the money not
spent. They have numerous other
organizations to fund. I don't disagree. I
don't think anyone would deny it. In fact
I don't think previous graduates will deny
that fact.
Previous graduates should be glad the
SGA hasn't spent their money, for some
fly-by-night organization. I don't think the
graduates would deny there isn't any
loyalty anymore. The administration In
power didn't trust organizations to spend
the corresponding student fees.
I don't think the SGA would deny their
fees are too large. All they did was
increase last year's budget for
publications.
How is this money used? By this
year's consensus, the majority of the
budget isn't being spent too wisely. This
is very apparent. The publications bring
the national, state, and local publicity
the school needs for that elusive status
symbol.
The company that printed the
yearbook is using last year's book as a
sample copy for their salesmen. It might
even win an award! The Buccaneer didn't
ask for more money. The legislators were
well informed of this.
The newspaper only asked for more
money. The newspaper only increased
their workload by half, not their staff.
Increased advertising would only pay for
the full-time secretary they asked for.
The Rebel only asked for two
magazines. They were given one. The
SGA by-laws only quarantee them three.
A few years ago The Rebel was nationally
recognized with only three and a staff of
twenty.
The Rebel only represents our
nationally recognized Art Department.
The Rebel only represents our humble
English Department. I don't think anyone
would deny there isn't any loyalty
anymore.
Why should the students have their
money channeled into these fly-by-night
organizations-The Rebel, The Fountain-
head and The Buccaneer? The SGA keeps
repeating they didn't do anything wrong.
All the publications did was ask for more
money.
memmm i�m in i i m i tm
The students we the only ones who
can ask their legislators to be
responsible. They are only our
representatives.
The legislators can see that our fees
are reduced or returned to us at the end
of the year. The SGA can see to it that
any fly-by-night organization seeking a
majority of student fees doesn't interfere
with the school's status seeking interest
group-We just won't have any.
I'm not concerned about the fate of
the publications. I'm not going to change
my vote-l don't have one. I'm only going
to be a typical student and continue to
support my apathy.
Apathetically yours,
Patrick M. Flynn
Publications Board Secretary
P.S. I pity those who don't believe in
anything.
P.S.S. I demand a recount now that
emotions have settled down, that is, if
we have one sensible legislator.
P.S.S.S. IF the recount isn't taken on the
three amendments, and the bill itself, I
demand a student referendum. I protest
the way the elections were run. I would
also like the names of this year's
candidate put on this referendum. We
could kill two birds with one stone, but I
forgot the SGA doesn't believe in the
death penalty.
H������� " I I
eyebrows or piece of literature might
contain a few gutsy words forbidden by a
clean-mouthed society. Sadly, The Rebel
as an extension of the academic arts is
susceptible to rejection because of
viewpoints ranging from cultural ignor-
ance to moral infatuation.
As a past contributor to The Rebel I
realize that I stand on quaking grounds
of dissent. However, I feel that to
conclude that The Rebel is on the decline
is a severe bigoted insult to the integrity
of Mr. Arrington and Mr. Hunt. Under the
very capable editorship of these
individuals the quality of The Rebel has
come a long way, and I believe the
magazine has shown a maturation.
Therefore, in my opinion any threat to
either abort or abolish The Rebel is a
threat to undermine creative intellect and
deny self expression. If the publication is
financially harassed to the point of
extinction, does it really have a fair
chance to prove its worth?

Eulogy notice
cruel joke
To Fountainhead:
An extremely cruel joke was played
on the students at ECU. We are speaking
of the "Eulogy Planned" in the December
fourth issue of Fountainhead. This
childish and immature prank was
perpetrated by the Omega Psi Phi'frater-
nity" which makes one wonder whether
or not such a "fraternity" belongs on
ECU's campus. It must take a very sick
mind to think of such a morbid pranK.
Why did peopie believe it? Because
Marion did pass out - more than likely
from the apparent starvation and
exposure caused by the demands made
on him when he went through the Q's
initiation This initiation is deemed
necessary by the Omegas in order to
prove one's "manhood
Only a hypocrite could call the Os a
real fraternity because fraternities are
supposedly based on brotherhood, and a
person does not ordinarily ask his
brother to "play dead Unfortunately, the
Fountainhead is partially responsible
for the widespread belief that
Marion Barnes was dead by printing the
eulogy announcement.

SGA votes to revise constitution
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
The SGA voted Monday night to form
a constitutional revision committee to
make the SGA Constitution more
responsive to the students.
"We feel the present constitution is
archaic and that it definitely can be
changed and made more responsive to
the students' needs said SGA President
Jimmy Honeycutt.
"I feel something positive can come
out of this committee. It should help to
make the constitution a more efficient
voice of the students
the committee will meet later this
week, according to Honeycutt. It will
divide into subcommittees, and each
section will work in a separate area of
the constitution.
After each subcommittee is finished,
the whole revision committee will meet
to draft a new constitution.
The SGA will make copies of the draft
available to the students. Afterwards two
weeks of public hearings will be held on
the draft so that all students will have a
chance to voice their opinions on it,
according to Honeycutt.
After the public hearings the
jommittee will meet again to consider all
viewpoints expressed during the hear-
ings. If needed, it will amend the draft.
Then the draft will be presented to the
legislature during three weekly sessions.
If the revised constitution is passed,
it will be presented to the students. To
become a part of the SGA constitution,
at least 20 percent of the students must
vote, and two-thirds of the students
voting must vote for approval.
Each amendment will be voted on
separately, according to Honeycutt.
The constitution's revision committee
will include the SGA Vice President as
the committee chairman, SGA Attorney
General, two Review Board members,
and the chairman of the Legislative Rules
and Judiciary committee.
Also, three members will be
appointed by the Speaker of the
LEgislature, and three members will be
appointed by the SGA President. A
member of the Fountainhead staff will
also be appointed.

Continued from page 1.
Another recommendation accepted by
Hagerty is a change in po'ice tactics.
This change resulted from meetings
between Sullivan, and the city manager.
Sullivan spoke to the legislature
approximately 15 minutes reviewing
concessions which he said were made
by the city manager in response to the
SGA's recommendations. Afterwards, he
recommended that the boycott be called
off. The legislature debated the issue
almost 30 minutes, and then concurred
with Sullivan's recommendation.
Although the first decision to boycott
the downtown merchants was controver-
sial and unpopular Sullivan said The
Select Committee thought it was the best
way for students to be heard.
The SGA tried as students, to get
some changes made and to get the whole
story out. In meeting after meeting with
city officials, we hit a stone wall. The
legislature felt it had to fight for the
students any way it could.
"We sought pressure through boycott.
It was a tough decision, and it was
unpopular. But, it helped gain
concessions that would not have been
gotten. There was pressure on the
District Attorney's office about those
charges and we kept the pressure on
"Innocence was costly for some
students involved in the Halloween
disturbance said Sullivan.
Students who paid a bail bondsman,
and students whose cases were thrown
out of court did not get their money
back. Also, students who hired lawyers
and had their cases thrown out of court
had to pay their lawyers.

Phelps issues field school study
A paper written by Dr. David S.
Phelps, about the archaeological field
school at Moratock Park in Williamston,
was presented to the Southeast
Archaeological Conference at a sym-
posium held at the University of Florida
in Gainesville,
The universities attending were ECU,
Univ. of Florida, Florida St and Univ. of
Alabama.
Phelps was unable to attend the
symposium. The purpose of the
symposium was to compare notes from
each of the universities' archaeology field
schools.
Items discussed were facilities,
student enrollment, research problems,
actual research sites, and finding more
efficient means to train students.
"The field school at Moratock Park is
a permanent research center used year
round at practically no cost to ECU
said Phelps.
"Percy Price from the Martin County
Economic Development Commission
invited East Carolina to teach its
students at the Park. The Park is a
cultural center still under construction on
the Roanoke River.
"Three acres of the park are set aside
to the field school. Housing and a
laboratory are included free said
Phelps. "The program is open to about
20 students during the first summer
school session.
"It is a five week program designed to
train the students in locating, recovering,
and processing artifacts. The school will
be advertised nationwide for the first
time this year even though local students
are given preference.
"The school is one of the best centers
on the east coast. Over 150 pre-historic
sites have been located in the
Roanoke-Chowan Region and three
historic sites have been studied
The areas studied are included in
about 50 miles of the Roanoke River
Valley, and the Chowan River Valley.
Knowledge is being gained about Martin,
Bertie, Halifax, Northampton, Washing-
ton, Chowan, and Hertford counties.
Fort Branch, in Hamilton, in Martin
Co. is being excavated, and will be
reconstructed for the park. The park will
have a boat to take tourists to the various
sites on the Roanoke River.
Jordans Landins ia a pre-historic site
dating back 1,000 - 1,500 AD. It is a
complete Tuscarora village located in
Bertie County. Phelps said that this is
the third summer of work at the stie.
The archaeology field school is going
to begin its sixth summer of operation
this summer. It will be run by Dr.
Kenneth L. Brown who is in his first year
as associate professor at ECU.
The advantage the East Carolina
archaeology field school has over others
is that students only pay for tuition and
food. Sleeping facilities are free.
The prerequisites for entry into the
program are Introductory Anthropology
121 and Introductory Archaeology 260.
Students must have a "B" average in the
two courses to be admitted into the field
school.
The day starts at 5:30 a.m. and ends
about 9 p.m. The students arrive at the
site about 7:30 a.m. and work until 3
p.m.

ECU real estaters donate money
The ECU Chapter of the Society of
Real Estate Appraisers has given 1,000
dollars to the ECU School of Business
for scholarships awards to students
interested in careers in the real estate
profession.
Formal presentation of the funds was
made by H.W. Wheless, owner of
Wheless Real Estate Services here, and
chairman of the chapter's scholarship
committee, and Joe Hayes, staff
appraiser with the N.C. Dept. of
Transportation.
Hayes and George West of Louisburg
are members of the chapter's scholarship
committee.
Accepting the funds, ECU School of
Business Dean James Bearden noted that
ECU real estate students "will be the
initial beneficiaries" of the award, but
that the real estate profession will
ultimately benefit from the gift.
"We are fortunate to have organi-
zations such as the Society of Real
Estate Appraisers who are sufficiently
interested in our program to provide
special financial support in futherance of
our undertaking he said.
Dr. Bearden said several scholarship
recipients will be selected within a few
weeks.
Founded in 1935, the Society of Real
Estate Appraisers now has 18,000
members in 184 chapters throughout the
U.S. and Canada. Members include
full-time professional real estate ap-
praisers and analysts and trainees of
appraisal programs.
Qualified members may receive three
professional designations: Senior Real
Estate Analyst (SREA), Senior Real
Property Appraiser (RPA),and Senior
Residential Appraiser (SRA).
The local chapter's 90 members
include 35 who have received profession-
al designation.

Consumer demands
Students ask for teacher evaluation
By DIANE AUERBACH
(CPS)-Whenever exam time rolls around,
students find themselves the target of
faculty scrutiny. Yet the role of the
evaluator may soon be reversed.
An increasing number of students
argue that fair play dictates tney be given
a chance to rate their teachers. As a
result, several colleges across the
country are taking a new look at faculty
evaluations by students.
The interest is generated by a
consumer's viewpoint says Chuck Leer,
author of a national report on faculty
evaluation sponsored by the Minnesota
Public Interest Research Group (PIRG).
"Students purchase their education, and
like any other consumer group, feel they
have the right to know as much as
possible about what they're spending
their money on
For the most part, faculty evaluations
are based on student questionnaires
which are distributed in each classroom.
Students are asked such questions as
"Does your professor encourage student
participation and discussion?" and "How
well does your professor make the course
material understandable?"
Survey results are then given to the
faculty members, who may use their
feedback as a means for improving their
teaching methods, or are placed in
faculty permanent files and reviewed by
the administration when pay raises or
tenure reviews come up.
Controversy over faculty evaluations
usually erupts when students attempt to
tabulate and publish the statistical
results of the surveys in a course and
faculty guide for students.
Students at the University of Oregon
at Eugene, for instance, are lobbying
hard for the publication of faculty
evaluations. Although the university
senate recently passed a resolution
requiring mandatory faculty evaluations
by students, it has yet to give the go
ahead for a faculty guidebook.
"I'm not sure it's fair to the professors
to have student opinion based on
transcripts made public said University
President William Boyd. "I have
reservations about the invasion of
privacy
This reluctance does not sit well with
the student government. "The adminis-
tration is paid by students through
tuition and by the public through tax
dollars countered the student body
president, Jim Bernau. The administra-
tion has a responsibility to provide "that
valuable information about teaching to
students
Another evaluation battle is in the
works at the University of Arizona. Earlier
this year, the administration switched its
support of voluntary faculty evaluations
to a requirement that all teachers
interested in promotion show "docu-
mented evidence" of their teaching
ability, in the form of student-conducted
evaluations.
In spite of administration and student
pressure, however, the faculty senate has
effectively squelched the mandate by
refusing to decide on an appropriate
evaluation form.
"Evaluations measure popularity, and
teaching is not a popularity contest
objected one professor. "I have little faith
in students knowing whether or not a
teacher knows his subject
Students and faculty are also
deadlocked at St. Johns University
in Jamaica, NY. where the student
government has begun its first year of
publishing a faculty and course guide.
Since the faculty evaluations are not
mandatory, any professor can bow out of
the evaluation process.
The problem for the students
publishing the course guide is that too
many professors have refused to

strained and distrustful when faculty
evaluations first hit the campus, this
does not have to be the case.

At any rate, faculty fears of
hypercritical student evaluations may be
unfounded, according to a recent San
Diego State University study. Students
tend to be too soft-hearted or intimidated
when they feel a negative evaluation may
cost a professor his job, researchers
found.
Concluded the study: "Students can
hardly be expected to go against an
authority they have been taught to
unquestionably obey for over three-

Women undecided
ERA Amendment debate rages
By CYNTHIA CROSSEN
(CPS-There are almost as many versions
of what will change when the proposed
Equal Rights Amendment is ratified as
there are people who have studied it. To
a majority, it means vague legal
reassurances that women may no longer
be discriminated against on the basis of
their sex. To an active minority, it means
the decay of society and the family.
Approved overwhelmingly by Con-
gress in 1972, the ERA has since been
bounced back and forth between the
forces of women's rights and the
protectors of woman's traditional role in
society. Women's rights advocates won
the first round when 13 states ratified the
ERA in the first three weeks after
Congress passed it. Now, three years
later, the ERA is just four states short of
the 38 necessary to become the 27th
amendment to the Constitution.
But the anti-ERA forces have gained
strength since the first ERA surge and
their lobbying efforts are paying off.
Amendments to the New York and New
Jersey state constitutions closely
paralleling the federal ERA were defeated
early in November. These victories have
given the ERA opponents a new impetus
to fight the ERA in state legislators,
where they have begun to drive a rescind
the ratifications New Jersey and New
York state houses have already given the
federal amendment.
ERA foes claim that the amendment
will leave the society open to immorality
and a weakening of family ties. A chapter
president of Operation Wake-Up, an
anti-ERA organization, said she feared
the "unisex movement" because "� are
not a unisex society
'It is the goal of many feminist
groups to destroy the family unit she
continued. "My husband is my support.
The male has been made provider and
protector. After the ERA we share equal
responsibility
Not only equal responsibility but a
whole range of immoral repercussions of
the amendment scare ERA opponents.
The most commonly cited evils of the
ERA include unisex bathrooms, co-ed
sports teams, female draftees, homo-
sexual marriages and repeal of alimony
laws.
One women, Phyllis Schlafly, has
even devoted her career to stopping ERA
since it was passed by Congress.
Schlafly publishes her own regular
magazine as an anti-ERA publication.
Schlafly argued that the ERA only
"pretends" to improve the status of
women. Actually, she says, "It will take
away the right of a young woman to be
exempt from the draft, the right of a wife
to be supported by her husband and to
have her minor children supported by her
husband And Schlafly also dislikes the
way the federal government will get its
"meddling fingers" into areas where it
has never had jurisdiction before, such
as marriage, divorce and child custody
laws.
Proponents of the ERA would just as
soon have those meddling fingers
regulating state laws. And as an ERA
advocate pointed out, the ERA does not
specify what laws will be enacted and
which will be repealed. "When a law is
restrictive, it will be struck from the
books. If it is protective, it will be
extended to include men
Other than that, pro-ERA forces
describe the effects of the ERA in
generalities simply because no one
knows how it will be interpreted by the

courts. Workers for the ERA claim "equal
opportunities" and "constitutional pro-
tection to women" will be the result of
the ERA.
Although the specific opportunities
and protections are not spelled out by
the amendment, ERA advocates like the
way the burden of proof in discrimination
cases will be shifted from the individual
woman to the state.
Many ERA opponents believe that the
ERA means more responsibilities but
fewer rights for women. A representative
in New York who argued against the ERA
said that ci "torn and law have already
made American women the most
privilegec4 oeople in history and the ERA
could rrean a loss of some of those
privileges.
ERA proponents claim just the
opposite, arguing that the ERA "is the
only thing that protects the rights we
have
Both sides are planning stronger
lobbying efforts when legislatures
reconvene in Janaury. "We are through
with garden-variety politics a League of
Women Voters official said. "We're going
to run a hard political campaign
So are the anti-ERA forces, w hich are
already gearing up for supporting
anti-ERA legislators in upcoming
elections. We've got the momentum
claims Schlafly.

12-year downward trend
Educators see SAT score decline
By JACKSON HARRILL
Staff Writer
"College-Bound Students' Test Scores
Drop"
"Research into the SAT score decline: a
progress report"
"Teachers Cite Obstacles to Learning"
"N.C. Pupils Lag On Test scores"
Headlines such as these are
becoming more and more commonplace
within the last few months as educators,
administrators and concerned parents try
to solve the "mystery" of the continuing
drop-off of SAT scores among high
school seniors. The scores peaked in
1963 and, since then, have gradually
declined, averaging a drop-off of three
points a year in verbal scores and two
points in mathematical scores.
The question is now arising, why did
the scores drop? What was the
underlying factor in all of this? No one
seems to be able to point to any one
definite reason, but here are some
causes which are being discussed: too
much television, lack of concern among
educators for the three R's. a changing
mix in the college-going population and
the unrest among young people during
the 1960's.
In comparing the figures of 1974
college-bound graduates to this year's,
the verbal scores fell from 444 to 434;
mathematical scores slipped from 480 to
472. Studies show that boys outperform-
ed girls on both sections- 437 to 431 on
verbal and 495 to 449 on the
mathematical. Until this year, however,
boys' scores have been dropping slightly
more than those of girls.
The College Entrance Examination
Board believes that one factor in the
declining average is that students taking
the test for the second time are no longer
improving their scores a much as they
once did. The mid-1950's reports show
that these "repeaters" used to gain about
35 points. By the mid-1960's this figure
had dropped to 20 and it is now about
15.
Mr. Gene Owens, and ECU
admissions officer, says that the drop-off
is reflected in the scores of this year's
freshman class. The average score,
according to Mr. Owens, was 840-850,
which is down about 12-13 points from
last year.
The Scholastic Aptitude Tests, first
administered in 1926, were taken by
one-third of this year's graduating high
school seniors. They made up roughly
two-thirds of those who entered college
this fall.
The verbal section of the test is
designed to measure vocabulary and
comprehension. The mathematical sec-
tion is intended to test problem-solving
ability.
Mr. Owens stated that, "The most
significant figure of the SAT, that we
found, is that a student has a higher
probability of success if they score 400
or better on the verbal section. The SAT
verbal section is primarily a guage of a
student's ability to read with speed and
with comprehension. If a student cannot
read well, then they are going to have
trouble in college
Given a hypothetical situation of two
students, one with a high school
transcript with grades averaging around
B, but with an SAT score of 790 or 800,
and another student with arades
averaging around D, and an SAT score of
1250-1300, Mr. Owens believes that the
student with higher grades and a low
score would be accepted over the other.
This judgment is based on the reasoning
that the first student would have the
proper background and would work more
for their grades. The second student
might have the ability, as reflected in
their score, but they have not put out any
sort of effort.
Admittance to most colleges and
universities in the United States is based
on two things, usually: the high school
transcript and the SAT score. At ECU,
more emphasis is placed upon the high
school record than the SAT score;
the high school record(is) a much
more solid indicator of the type of work
the student is capable of doing Mr.
Owens believes. "There is no exact
minimum SAT score (for admittance); it
is strictly a relationship between the high
school class rank and the SAT to give us
a satisfactory predicted grade average
Cigarette smoking, 1 975 style; it's a real drag
During the past several years, a huge
campaign has been launched against a
minority to which I belong; the world's
cigarette smokers. You can't turn on the
tube anymore without seeing some
anti-smoking commercial. It can really
make a person feel paranoid.
Things ere different when I picked
up the "evil habit" three years ago. At
that time, cigarettes were an integral part
of the social system.
We spent many happy hours at the
high school smoking area, blowing
smoke rings and chewing the fat.
Our weekend evenings were filled with
trips to the nearest Hardee's, where
romances bloomed, and french fries and
Marlboros were the latest thing.
Back in those days, the only people
who weren't convinced of the coolness of
my habit were my parents. For two years I
never came home without a wad of
Bazooka bubble gum in my mouth.
I can't count the hours I spent in my
locked bedroom, head hanging out of the
open window, dragging to my heart's
desire.
Graduation finali, came, then my
enrollment at EZU. "AHA I thought.
"Unabashed smoking freedom at last
Granted, it was like trv.t for awhile. I
went to classes armed with my cricket
lighter and Doral menthols, and found
that I was one of a fairly large group of
smokers on campus.
Things changed gradually, though. At
first, opposition to the habit was
confined to a few well-distributed "no
smoking" signs.
The campaign grew and flourished to
the point that I now get hassled by my
friends about smoking, and that's when
they're visiting MY room.
The situation's disintegrated to the
point where I have felt it necessary to
resume the old habit of running to the
ladies room for a cig. I've even had
people there complain about my fumes.
In fact, I am finding that the only
place in Greenville I can go for a
peaceful, hassle-free smoke is row 17,
seat 23 of Ficklen stadium, at 3:00 a.m.
on Tuesdays.
In that pastoral setting, I can smoke
every silly millimeter, secure that there
isn't an American Cancer Society member
within breathing distance.
I'm sure there are a multitude (or at
least a handful) of other smokers out
there who feel as overpowered and
suppressed as myself. I invite all of them
to ioin me early some Tuesday at
Ficklen. We can sit around comparing
our tar and nicotine levels.

Roxy art center features arts and crafts fair
By Sylvia Crocker
If you are looking for a way to
express yourself in the arts, drama music
or literature in a free environment, maybe
the Roxy Music, Arts and Crafts Center
is for you.
The Roxy is an old theatre that a
group of people managed to rent with an
option to buy from a real estate dealer in
town. The theatre now serves as a
meeting place for talented people in
Greenville who need a place to jam, to
think, or to exchange ideas. There are a
mixture of people who run the Roxy;
they include students, dropouts and
jood people with a common bond of
ideas and energy. According to Bill
(Shep) Sheppard, "It is a combination of
energies that make Roxy what it is.
We've had a few parties to raise money
for rent and improvements, and now
we're having the craft show. Eventually,
we'll be able to paint the building, and
with the help of Tom Lassiter, a
horticulturist, we'll landscape the area.
We hope, among other things, the town
will take notice and help upgrade the

Street People, study finds, are a poorer breed of cat
By RICHARD TRUBO
Pop Scene Service
"When I come to a town, I usually go
to the longhair part and look for a place
to crash. It's not usually much
troubleI've got a lot of head hassles
and I don't want to settle down Those
are the words of a 17-year-old girl whose
lifestyle, as she describes it, is not much
more than "travel and survival She is
one of 292 nameless "street people" in
Berkeley whose lives have been probed in
a study by two University of California
researchers.
The 80-page study, "Down and Out in
Berkeley concludes that the "street
people" in Berkeley�and apparently in
other college towns as well-are a more
poverty-stricken breed than their "flower
children" counterparts of the 1960s.
The study was conducted by Henry
Miller, associate professor of social
welfare, and Jim Baumohl, a graduate
student. They concluded that while the
"dropouts" of a few years ago voluntarily
dissociated themselves from the main-
stream of society, many of the
hangers-on in today's college towns
would be willing to rejoin the system if
given the chance. However, most of them
are overwhelmed with a feeling of
hopelessness.
"I've crashed in five or six places in
the last two weeks, and the people here
have been warmer, friendlier, crazier than
any place else says a 19-year-old male
street person in Berkeley. "But it's
getting to be a hard trip, just

much different than their counterparts of
the 1960s. Most have long hair, wear
faded or torn jeans, and carry their
possessions, if any, on their backs.
In Berkeley, they perch themselves on
the sidewalks of Telegraph Avenue,
which borders the southern edge of the
University of California campus. They
spend their days panhandling for money
or looking for someone who might offer
them food and lodging for the night.
Although the street people appear to
be there to stay, the community of
Berkeley is rapidly changing. It is the citv
where the Free Speech Movement was
born in 1964, and where students clashed
with police in 1969 while university
buildings burned.
Today, the Berkeley campus is quiet.
Today's freshmen were second graders
when the Free Speech Movement began,
and they seem more interested in
education than demonstration.
True, political organizations like the
Young Socialist Alliance and the Un;ted
Farm Workers still distribute their
literature in Sproul Plaza, the university's
largest congregating point. But most
students seem to be more interested in
signing up for the activities of the Ski
Club, or buying tickets to the latest film
series.
The street people, or the "Berkeley
Beggars" as the locals call them,
sometimes seem out of step with the
changing profile of the city. The
Miller-Baumohl study found that al-
though these hangers-on seem attracted
to college towns, they are generally
poorly educated.
One-third of them are high school
dropouts, and only 31 percent have
attended college at all. About 86 percent
of the street people are in their teens or
early 20s, but their backgrounds are
varied.
"For some says the report, "there
were serious family problems; for others,
there may well have been real limitations
in psychological and intellectual equip-
age.
Less than half of those surveyed said
their parents would permit them to return
home, and only 6.5 percent expressed
any interest in going back. Instead, they
survive on a day-to-day basis, begging
for the money to buy their next meal, or
stealing it from local markets.
Most reported that they wanted to
work, and 77 percent stated they had
been unsuccessful in constant attempts
to find a job. Many view their futures
with pessimism.
"There seems to be a subliminal or
barely articulated knowledge that 'making
it' in America has become more fantasy
than reality report the researchers.
However, more hope may exist for the
street people than even they realize.
Many of the social rebels who walked the
streets of Berkeley and Haight-Ashbury
in the 1960s have apparently assimilated
back into society.
That, at least, is the conclusion of
Stephen Pittel, a bearded and bushy-
haired psychologist who heads the
Haiqht-Ashburv Research Protect.
Pittell has kept track of 250 "hippies
whom he originally met and interviewed
in-depth in 1967-68. And 40 percent of
them are now back in the mainstream-in
jobs or in college, and off drugs. Of the
remainder, less than one-third are
still living on the street. The other 28
percent have made at least a semi-reentry
into society, living in communes and
making a living by selling their self-made
items like crafts.
According to Pittel, many of those
who reentered the system are using their
street experiences in a constructive way.
One girl, who earned a master's degree
before fleeing to Haight-Ashbury, is now
writing a novel about her life on the
streets.

In conducting this short interview after the performance in Wilson on November 19
I was very impressed with the openness and sincerity of John Mc Vie and Mick
Fleetwood Never was there any indication of a big "rock star ego trip" side to their
character, but rather a friendly, unintimidating personality shone through in both of
them. This is perhaps best exemplified when one of their managers came in and said
to John that they should be going in about five minutes to which he replied, "Well,
we'll stay how ever long it takes to finish the talk. OK?"

3)Just one little pill a day and the
nces of becoming pregnant are
iced to practically nothing. Millions
American women find the easy,
fire birth control pill the long-await-
answer to all their contraceptive
paints.
3ut in the past few years, the pill's

Vt most university health services, the
is still the most frequently requested
raceptive but increases have been
d in requests for other methods. In
y cases, women are encouraged by
age physicians to consider the
natives because of a shortage of
lable information about the pill's
-range effects. One woman studying
Jill at Columbia University has called
pill a "grand and unprecendented
ogical experiment
'It's amazing" how many women take
bill because everybody else does, Dr.
aon Fee, gynecologist at Iowa State
varsity said. But "when you give a
ale of this age group (college) a

its, it can't do any good Fee added.

I.
Intensive research on the pill has
juced suspected links with several
jrable diseases including cancer,
diabetes, strokes and heart disease. But
advocates of the pill insist that the
Studies have been inconclusive so far and
point to their own statistics which give
the pill a hirly clean bill of health.
Unfortunately, those studies have
only been underway since the pill's
American debut only 16 years ago and
the long-range effects are still unknown.
An assistant professor of medicine at the
Harvard Medical School said the studies
done in the early sixties which approved
of the hormone drug were based on a
very small number (100-200) of persons
who had been taking the pill for a year or
more.
The consumers of the pi I! haven't
been getting much advice on the hazards
and side effects from either the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) which
regulates the pill or the manufacturers
themselves. Iowa gynecologist Fee
pointed out that pill manufacturers are
very careful to downplay the hazards of
birth control pills in their promotional
literature. The only harmful effect most
of them mention is blood clots.
Even if a student is aware of the
possible side effects, her attitude is
often "that could never happen to me
Fee said.
But according to the coordinator of
gynecological services at the University
of Pennsylvania, more women there are
being scared away from the pill by
reports of weight gain, emotional stress
and bleeding disturbances.
Other possible side effects of the pill
range from skin problems to migraine
headaches to rashes, fatigue, depression
and cramps. And recently even the FDA
admitted that the pill might make some
women more susceptible to venereal
disease. Although the FDA hedged on
requiring manufacturers to warn women
of a possible pill - VD like, they did order
them to say on the warning label that the
pill would do nothing to prevent or treat
venereal disease.
The pill greatly lessens a woman's
natural immunity to vaginal infection and
disease, Fee claimed, by changing the
vagina from acidic to alkaline which
enhances bacterial growth.
A woman has the right to make her
own decision, but she ought to know
what she's gambling with, he added. "It's
easy to swallow a pill, but you have to
remember you're swallowing a harmful

Remedial programs planned
We C
College freshmen lack basic grammar skillsc
(CPS)When college students were the
academic elite of their high school
classes, college administrators and
instructors assumed that entering
freshmen knew basic grammar and
composition cold. Now with more high
school students going to college and
admissions standards at many schools
loosening, college administrators are
recognizing the existence of a basic
skills gap which handicaps many college
students.
Colleges and universities across the
country are setting up remedial program
to meet the needs of students who find
they have never learned how to write in
complete sentences. Basic skills pro-
grams are more prevalent at two-year and
community colleges, but the problem has
also surfaced at private four-year schools
which have traditionally drawn the cream
of the high school crop.
At the University of South Carolina
(USC) where lower SAT scores prompted
a remedial grammar class called English
100, the admissions director blamed the
increasing popularity of college for
decreasing proficiency in English skills.
"A broader segment of people taking the
test results in a broader base of ability
being measured he said, referring to
the declining SAT scores.
The director of the English 100
program at USC called the program "a
survival course" and accused high
schools of over-emphasizing literature at
the expense of grammar. "It isn't always
the students' fault that they lack these
skills she said. "Most students tell us
that the last time they had a grammar
review was the eighth grade

different explanations for the under-
educated college student. Jerome Weber,
University College Dean at Oklahoma
University, attributed part of the problem
to the shifts in high school goals from
the three R's to more social and personal
growth.
Others claimed it was a problem
unique to this generation which was
raised on television and radio. Instructors
at the University of California have
reported that students in their freshman
English classes are not proficient in even
the fundamentals of grammar. The
remedial English or Subject A supervisor
argued that the "illiteracy" was a
"cultural problem, as students in an
electronic society have little chance to
acquire reading-writing skills
According to the director of academic
programs at UCLA, the television society
is to blame for less educated college
students. "Students today are more
verbal he said. "They don't read. They
don't have the written skills they once
did. They're TV educated
But a recent report in the Christian
Science Monitor holds the whole college-
oriented society responsible for the lower
level of skills of incoming freshmen. The
report states that many officials feel the
reason for the student skills gap is the
fact that the whole post-secondary
education system has become much less
elite.
This has been particularly true in
recent years when many colleges have
begun admitting students who would not
have met the minimum qualifications for

verywhere women, while absorbed
the duties of motherhood and
remaking, felt, without understand-
the inner stirrings of undeveloped
kers.
he foresaw early signs of an
roved status of women as citizens,
ch she termed as "recolution with
Id-wide implications:
"The restricted conventions of her
lated individuality gave to the woman
the past what would now be called an
feriority complex which was simply
habit of sex-submission from which
will ultimately be emancipated
Mrs. Cotten has lived to see two
lificant obstacles overcome by activist
nen. A special committee of the
eration has studied the legal status of
nen in North Carolina and reported in
2 that women had few definite legal
its.
One o' the areas in which women
were poweness particularly rankled in the
hearts of the club members; women were
not permitted to sit on local school
boards.
When the Federation's next state
convention took place, Mrs. Cotten
assumed the presidency and joined in the
general elation among delegates that
progress had been made. A mass
lobbying effort by women had moved the
General Assembly to pass a new law
which allowed women to serve on school
boards.
The second victory, more far-reaching
than the first, came in 1920 with the
passage of the Equal Suffrage
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Mrs. Cotten, like other women
suffragists, optimistically believed that
with the right to vote, other inquities
suffered by women would rapidly vanish,
automatically opening up new opportun-
ities in business, the professions,
politics and government, education and
other phases of public life.
This early belief has been proven
overly hopeful. Widespread sex discrimi-
nation and what Sal lie Cotten called "the
habit of sex-submission" on the part of
women themselves continue to bar
women from achieving their actual
potential in society.
Another prominent eastern North
Carolina suffragist, Johnetta Webb
Spilman, recalls that one of Mrs.
Cotten's most intense interests was
vocational education for young people of
both sexes.
"I had a small business school in my
home then said Mrs. Spillman, "and
Mrs. Cotten often expressed pleasure
that these young people were being
trained for work. She believed Thai
women should have marketaoie skihs anu
be able to survive independently
Few women in the early 1900s
received training for gainful employment,
and Mrs. Cotten deplored the fact that
many widows were left penniless upon
the death of their husbands, usually with
children to support, Mrs. Spilman said.
This practical aspect of limited
education for women distressed Mrs.
Cotten as much as her realization that
women's abilities were often unused.
The Federation of Women's Clubs has
honored Mrs. Cotten's ardent desire that
young women be prepared for vocations
bv naminq its fund for women students
the Sallie Southall Cotten Loan Fund.
"She was very feminine said Mrs.
Spilman.
The traditional harsh stereotype of the
crusader for women's rights seems hardly
to fit Mrs. Cotten. One evidence of this
is the colorful Victorial "crazy quilt" she
worked which is now on display in
Cotten Hall.
Each velvet, satin or silk patch in the
quilt has been bordered or ornamented
with intricate embroidery. An original
four-stanza poem, worked in gold silk
outline stitches covers the crimson plush
quilt backing.
There can be little doubt that were
she alive today, the remarkable Sallie
Southall Cotten would be using her talent
to organize and lead league groups
towards the channeling of women's
"undeveloped powers" which she
perceived 50 years ago.
But the thousands of East Carolina
women students who have lived in Cotten
Hall during the past decades while they
worked toward college degrees have
already fulfilled one of her most
cherished dreamsopportunities for
women to receive educations and develop
their potential abilities.

Pirates dropped by VMI, 73-56, for third loss
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
LEXINGTON, Va. The VMI
Fleldhouse is always a tough place for
opposing teams to play and Saturday
night the East Carolina University basket
ball team found out just how tough, as
they dropped a 73-56 conference game to
the VMI Keydets.
In the first conference game for both
teams, the Keydets jumped to an early
10-2 lead, and never trailed, as they took
advantage of East Carolina's cold-shoot-
ing and turnovers to offset their own lack
of height and speed.
After ECU closed to 14-12 with just
under 12 minutes to play in the first half,
VMI went on a 16-6 tear to take a 30-18
lead with five minutes to go in the half.
ECU never came closer than six points
the rest of the game.
The convincing loss at the hands of
VMI, gave ECU its third straight loss of
the year, all by a total of 96 points.
Despite this figure, ECU coach Dave
Patton wasn't really worried about the
loss.
"I'm not worried about the loss
tonight said Patton. "Not only did we
play in one of the toughest places in the
country, I saw things out there the
players have not done all year. I saw
what I've been hoping to see and that
was our guys hustling. With this in my
mind, I don't think it will be long before
we put it all together. It will be only a
matter of time
Patton might have been right. Despite
the score, ECU was beat by a good VMI
team which was supported by a
boisterous Keydet crowd of 2,200, near
capacity for the VMI Fieldhouse, whichi
is known as "the Pit
It was classic zone pressing and
hard-nose ball-hawking that the Keydets
used to force the Pirates into 26
Dave Montgomery and John Krovic
led the VMI offense, while it was a total
effort on defense. Montgomery was the
only Keydet of effectiveness off the
boards, with 11, and added 16 points on
8 of 11 shots, most of them off his
rebounds.
Krovic ended as the game's high
scorer with 17 points and his outside
DAVE MONTGOMERY toft and JOHN KROVIC right were the individual leaden for
the VMI Keydets in Saturday's 73-56 win over ECU. Montgonery had 16 points and 11
rebounds and Krovic added 17 points to lead the Keydets to victory in the first
conference game for both teams.
turnovers, which offset a 35-25
ECU rebound advantage. The Keydets
also used a 52 percent shooting night to
can five more field goals than the
visitors, despite the Pirates' 58-56 shot
advantage.
shooting threat kept ECU off Mont-
gomery and forward Ron Carter. This
opened the inside path to the basket.
Ironically, it was ECU's failure to gain
the inside route which probably cost
them the game.
Duke shows improvement in first games
So far in this short 1975-1976
basketball season, Duke University has
been a surprise, even to Blue Devil coach
Bill Foster.
"I've been real pleased with the hustle
the team has shown so far this year
said Foster. "We are much better this
year then we were last year
Last year, Foster led the Blue Devils
to a 13-13 record in his first year as
coach, an improvement of three games
over the year before. Despite this record,
and Fost : 221 career wins, the Devils
were picked to finish near the bottom of
the ACC this year by the coaches and
sports writers, primarily due to the loss of
three starters.
In its first three games, however,
Duke has looked like anything but an
also ran, having routed Johns Hopkins
103-72 and nipped Virginia 81-79 for a 2-1
record The Devils' only loss came to the
nationally-ranked Tennessee Volunteers.
In that game, the Devils extended the
Vols' to the final moments of the game,
before falling by an 86-80 score.
It has been a running type of game
that Foster has used at Duke, the same
type of offense the Pirates have seen in
their first three games, which they have
lost by srores of 127-84, 117-81 and
73-56.
"We'll continue to use the mnning
game and multiple defenses this year, as
long as we can get the rebounding. Our
defense has also improved over last
year
The team leader is 6-9 senior
co-captain Willie Hodge. Hodge was
shifted from forward to center this year,
to replace the graduated Bob Fleischer,
and so far he has produced. He is the
team leader in scoring and rebounding.
1 Hodge is averaging 24.3 points and 8.3
rebounds a game in the center spot,
better statistics than Fleischer compiled
at the spot last year. Against Tenner �,
Hodge scored 29 points.
The other senior starter for the Dukes
this season is 6-5 forward George Moses.
Although he has not been scoring a lot
of points, Moses has been a definite
attribute to the team with his
ball-hawking defense.
The rest of the Devils' starting five is
averaging around 37 points a game. The
backcourt leader is Tates Armstrong.
Armstrong is averag.ng just over 15
points a game, and his freshman sidekick
Jim Sparnarkel is scoring almost 12
points a game. The starting team is
completed with 6-7 Mark Crow at forward
next to Moses. Crow is averaging nine
points a game.
The Tennessee game showed that the
Blue Devils could stay on the court with
nationally-ranked competition and give
them a game, which is something the 0-3
Pirates of East Carolina haven't done in
games with Maryland and North Carolina
State.
ECU has some hope from the
improved play of freshman Louis Crosby
and injured center Larry Hunt. Crosby
and Hunt both started out slow against
Maryland, but have played much better,
against State and VMI.
The leading Pirate scorer is guard
Reggie Lee. Lee is averaging 13.3 points
a game after a disappointing game
against VMI, where he tallied just five
points. Two other Pirates, Hunt and
captain Al Edwards, are averaging just
over 10 points a game. East Carolina has
averaged 38 rebounds a game and scored
77 points a game, but the defense has
been poor.
Hunt leads the Pirates with eight
rebounds a game and sophomore Wade
Henkel, despite some lackluster shoot-
ing, has averaged seven rebounds a
game. Against Maryland and State,
freshman Tyrone Edwards was im-
pressive, but he played little against
VMI because of foul trouble and an
inability to get untracked.
If East Carolina expects to play with
Duke its defense must get better and its
shooting (39.1 at Maryland and 44.8 at
VMI) needs to improve. This is the last
leg of the Pirates' suicide opening
four-game road schedule and it would be
nice if the Pirate team could return home
Saturday with at least one win in the four
games. Duke just doesn't seem to be the
team for ECU to beat, though.

WASHINGTON D.C.�Two fourth
quarter scores and a tough defensive unit
led the East Carolina club football team
to a 10-0 win over American University
here on November 23.
The Pirates and the Eagles played
scoreless football through the first three
quarters before Danny O'Shea connected
on a 20-yard field goal to give the
clubbers a 3-0 lead.
The ECU team built on that lead when
Bruce Hall hit Chip Burden with a 28-yard
touchdown pass on the last play of the
game. O'Shea added the extra point for
the final ECU margin of victory.
The win closed out the ECU clubbers
season with a 6-4 record.

A Communique
from Cain
Dear Friend of the University,
As we put the football statistics on the
shelf until next September, some reflections
are in order on the fall season that has
recently closed.
In football, we finished with an 8-3 overall
record, which included six straight wins at
the end of the season. The Pirates also won
four of six Southern Conference contests.
It was especially gratifying to see the
Pirate supporters raiiy arouna me team when
the goinci was rough early in the season.
Taking the large groups to Chapel Hill and
Charlottesville had an outstanding effect on
the team and our hosts as well.
The Pirates open next footbali season in
Ficklen Stadium Sept. 11 against Southern
Mississippi. Between now and that time

Mueller fills wrestling gap
East Carolina Sports Information Director Ken Smith made a good point this past
ekend when he pointed out the inconsistencies of scheduling among member
ims in the Southern Conference.
Smith pointed out, after ECU had dropped a 73-56 decision to VMI in Lexington,
i fact that not all conference teams play a complete home-and-home schedule with
gry other conference team and that this could have a bearing on the basketball title
2e this year.
This writer took to task the project of checking to see which teams do, and which
�ms do not, play full 14-game schedules within the conference. I found out, but
isn't really surprised, that only East Carolina and Richmond play full 14 game slates
thin the conference, and are the only conference teams to have done so every year
ice the leage was expanded to eight teams in 1972. In addition, there has never
en a conference basketball champion who has played a full league schedule since
modem day inception of the conference in 1954.
Most layman sports fans will probably write this off as pure coincidence and trivia,
there is more to it than that. In both 1972 and 1973, and it almost happened last
ar, the conference champion played three games less than the conference runner-up
d won by only a small margin during the regular-season.
Of course, it is true that the league's NCAA representative and champion is
termined by the results of the conference championship tournament, and not the
jular seasons standings. But with the new format of conference tournament play,
lereby the league's top four finishers host the first-round playoff games, the league
jular-season standings is still important. It is therefore possible for a team to gain
advantage by scheduling certain teams at home and not playing them on the road.
Furman may enjoy an advantage this year with its 12 game schedule which finds
Paladins playing two of the league's better teams, VMI and Davidson, only at
me, and William and Mary once. Furman does play Davidson twice, but the "home"
ntest for Davidson is to be played in Charlotte, hardly a pro-Davidson site when
irman is involved. The other conference schools all play Davidson in the Wildcats'
hnston Gym, which is respected as probably the toughest place for an opposing
im to play in the conference.
Some would argue for the VMI Keydets' home court, "the Pit and Furman doesn't
y here either. So, the defending champion Paladins are aided this year by not
ving to play at either of the two toughest home courts in the league.
While ECU and Richmond play a full schedule of games, and they are the
nference co-favorites, Davidson plays just ten games, six of them at home, and
lliam and Mary has scheduled 11 league games, six at home. The remainder of the
ms have 12 conference games scheduled, with the Citadel playing 13 games.
Are East Carolina and Richmond at a disadvantage then, playing a complete 14
me set? Past finishes would seem to support this, since it is hard to go through a
lole season without losing one or two games and the less games a team plays, the
s chance it has to lose.
A part of the answer to this problem could be decided this weekend when
chmond plays at VMI. Viewing VMI in action last week, and watching Richmond's
ay so far this year, these two teams seem the ones to beat right now and the
ntest in the ancient Lexington gym could jostle the conference race, even this early
the season.
But, there shouldn't have to be a dispute over scheduling within the conference.
le league authorities could solve the problem by simply requiring every team to play
league games, or every league opponent on a home-and-home basis. This is the
ly most every conference in America operates. But, then, the Southern Conference
like no other conference in the nation.

Probably no one anticipated the
opening of the 1975-76 wrestling season
longer than Phil Mueller. And, no one
has jumped off to a more impressive
start in the Pirates' three tournaments
this year than the 5-10 native of Eden,
N.C.
Mueller transferred to East Carolina
last year from the University of
, Wisconsin at Stevens Point where he was
one of the top wrestlers in the country in
the 158 pound weight class. As a
freshman, he finished fourth in the NAIA
championships and was the runnerup at
158 during his sophomore year.
But after transferring, he was forced
to sit out the 1974-75 season although he
did show occasional flashes of brillance
last season, winning two tournament
titles wrestling unattached to any team.
So the 1975-76 season finally rolled
around and Mueller was ready to go. He
took second place at 167 in the Neptune
Invitational and was runnerup in the
Monarch Open. And then put together his
most impressive performance of the
season two weeks ago, pinning four
straight opponents en route to the
championship in the 167 pound weight
class in the North Carolina Invitational
Tournament. He was voted the
Outstanding Wrestler in the tournament
and now carries the distinction of being
known as "The Number One Wrestler in
North Carolina
"I probably never wrestled better in
my life than I did in that tournament
said Mueller. "It sure has bolstered my
confidence. I just hope I can stay healthy
and continue to wrestle as well as I have
been during the first part of the season
Mueller's secret to such a fast start
this year? "Hard work and plenty of it,
claims Mueller. "The guys in practice like
Mike Radford and Ron Whitcomb really
make you work hard. I consider Mike and
Ron and some of the other guys on the
team as good as any wrestlers in the
country. You're only going to be as good
as your competition in practice is
Although Mueller has two runnerup
finishes, one title and a fine 10-2 overall
record this year, he was somewhat
disappointed with his performance in the
Neptune Invitational Tourney earlier in
the year.
"I've always been an offensive
wrestler and I was wrestling very
defensively in that tournament explain-
ed Mueller. "I was letting my opponent
make all the moves which was the main
reason I wasn't doing that well. Then
again, since I had sat out an entire year I
had also lost a lot of my competiive edge
which takes times to get back.
"But everything has started to come
back and winning the Outstanding
Wrestler Award at the N.C. Invitational
sure has given me plenty of confidence.
It sure has put me in a better frame of
mind and I know I'll be ready to go this
weekend in our big quad meet
The Pirates face nationally ranked
teams Lehigh and Oregon State, along
with Indiana State Friday and Saturday in
a quadrangular meet in Bethlehem, Pa.
"How we come out in this meet will
give the team a good idea of how we
stack up with the top teams in the nation
and just how good we really are said
Mueller. "The whole team is psyched for
this one. I just hope we can go up there
and give a good account of ourselves
