Workshop aids needy
By DENNIS LEONARD
Many persons in and around the
Greenville area have heard about or have
seen advertisements pertaining to various
social organizations that deal with the
physically or mentally handicapped.
Examples are VISTA, Multiple Schlerosis,
Heart Fund, and the United Way. One
fairly new type of organization in this
area which began in 1966 is the Sheltered
Workshop a .d should be of extreme
importance to the citizenry of the
Greenville community. To find out more
information about the Workshop,
Fountainhead contacted Mr Jack Wynne,
the area director.
The Sheltered Workshop is a social
organization that deals with vocational
training and rehabilitation, behavioral
problems, and the mentally or physically
handicapped. Mr. Wynne stated that the
"sole purpose of the Workshop is to
make life better adjustable through
training and to actually bend the client's
behavioral problems so that they will
become both socially acceptable and
acceptable for employment within the
community An impressive statistic
quoted by Mr. Wynne was that "between
85 and 90 percent of the clients were able
to find jobs after completing the
program. '
Mr. Wynne stated that "we deal with
different clients in a vocational type of
atmosphere for those who need
vocational assistance. "Presently we have
nine students who participate in a
half-day program where they go to school
for the first half and then attend the
vocational training section of the
Workshop the second half ' This type of
program enables the student who needs
the Workshop services to receive
vocational training or rehabilitation that
is not offered in the schools.
In the field of corrections, the
Worksnop offers various programs for
those clients within the community and
outside as well. It was noted that the
Workshop services extend to some of the
nearby correctional institutions such as
Caswell. where Mr. Wynne feels the main
problem is a basic attitudinal problem
revolving around an overly sheltered
background Mr Wynne further noted
that "arrogance is a second major
problem with the corrections oriented
clients and that toning down this
arrogant behavior is the best possible
way to handle the situation The Work-
shop also deals with the blind, deaf, or
handicapped and birth defects or
illnesses such as epilepsy and paralysis.
Another interesting aspect of the
Sheltered Workshop is that they operate
on a sub-contract basis to provide a
working, practical experience for the
clients. They contract the students into
the working community so that they can
gain working experience and further
adjust to the social environment. This
type of program accrues two separate
advantages; first it provides a positive
reinforcement for the trainees completing
the program and secondly it enables the
individual to learn a certain vocation,
even though the Workshop does not train
for a specific job.
The Workshop operates with a
full-time professional staff that is
specially trained in the various programs
provided by the service. They are
presently eight interns, a number of
volunteers, and various directors (recrea-
tional, social, etc) who makeup the list of
qualified individuals at the Workshop.
Mr. Wynne indicated that any persons
interested in corrections, vocational
rehabilitation, social work, and occupa-
tional therapy should visit the Workshop,
gain some experience, and if they have
the time do some volunteer work.
With Christmas being only a week
away, we asked Mr. Wynne if the
Workshop was planning any extra-
curricular activities. Mr. Wynne replied
that "things will pretty much go as usual,
with the exception of a group of ECU
students coming over and doing some
singing
By a brief glance at the Sheltered
Workshop, it seems that there is a lot of
quality work and dedication going into
the various programs and many
successful clients evolving from these
programs. All students or normals
interested in this kind of work should go
and talk to Mr. Wynne and possibly even
do some volunteer work. It would surely
be a rewarding personal experience, plus
looks rather appealing on college
transcripts. Good luck with the program
Mr Wynne and may the Workshop
continue to be a success in the future.
Greenville Mall sponsors
Christmas music program
By MONICA SUTHERLAND
More than twenty musical groups
from Greenville and Pitt County will
participate in the first annual Music on
the Greenville Mall during the Christmas
season.
Music on the Mall creates a pleasant
and inviting atmosphere for shopping,
which is the purpose of the mall,
according to T.I. Wagner, deputy director
of the Greenville Redevelopment Com-
mission and project manager of the
newly completed mall
"The mall provides a place for these
groups to entertain the public and bring a
part of the Christmas spirit to the people
mtm ii mi imiM i��' �
ol Greenville said Dave Mosier,
secretary of the Downtown Greenville
Association (DGA) which sponsors the
program.
East Carolina University Chorale
directed by Dr. Charles Moore began
Music on the Mall Friday, December 12.
By Christmas 23 groups will have
performed including the Elm Street Fifth
and Sixth Grade Choir, the Baptist
Student Union Choir and several church
groups in the community.
"The young people in these musical
groups remind people of the real
meaning of Christmas through their
performances of traditional Christmas
music. That is what we want people to
remember said Mosier "Santa is also
on hand at Five Points for the children
The Music on the Mall program is one
of several advantages the new mall has
to offer. The mall was planned and
constructed to create a friendly and
hospitable environment downtown, ac-
cording to Wagner.
The $425,000 mall was completed in
four months. It is a part of the three step
Rehabilitation Project for the Central
Business District (CBD) of Greenville.
Aside from presenting a pleasant and
restful place for shoppers to enjoy, the
mall also has facilities for group
gatherings and for displays.
Businesses in the CBD have reported
increase in sales during the past three
months which surpass any increase in
the last 15 years, according to Wagner.
"This is because the popularity of
open pedestrian malls is growing said
Wagner. "Open malls provide a different
shopping environment from the closed
malls of shopping centers. Open malls
emphasize quality, service and specialty
stores which is the type of businesses
found in the central district

Salvation Army makes
Xmas much happier
By JOHN DAYBERRY
Staff Writer
The Greenville chapter of the
Salvation Army is spendinq $12 COO on
420 needy families this Christmas,
according to Lt. John R. Johnson, a
member of the organization.
'We had about 450 applications for
assistance this yea nearly twice as
many as we had last year said
Johnson.
"We rejected 15 of these families,
directed about 10 to local clubs and
organizations, and decided to handle 420
of them. '
The families will receive boxes
containing food, toys, or both, according
to Johnson.
"The boxes of food contain one
canned ham, canned vegetables, flour,
cornmeal, and some fresh fruit said
Johnson.
"We give each child one new toy, and
let his or her parents choose one used
toy for the child
In addition to helping the families,
the Salvation Army is visiting area
nursing homes and distributing gifts to
the patients.
Patients still in Pitt Memorial Hospital
over the holidays will be visited by Army
members also.
"We're trying to assure everyone of a
happy as possible Christmas this year

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus
In 1897, 8-year old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the New York
Sun asking; "Is there a Santa Claus?" The answer, written by
Mr. Frank P. Church, has since become a classic.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been
affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age. They do not
believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is
not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great
universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as
compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by
the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly
as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that
they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa
Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except
in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in
fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there
is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those
that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? O course not, but that's no proof that they
are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the
strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith,
fancy, poetry, love romance, can push aside that curtain and
view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all
real? Ah Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand
years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of
childhood.

Homosexual view should be considered
To Fountainhead:
I have heard that the Fountainhead
intends to present an article on
homosexuality, and it is in keen
anticipation of this article that I write. I
fervently hope that the article will be
written with the full amounts of delicacy
and sensitivity that the subject asks for,
yet related powerfully enough to give
readers an adequate sense of the
immediacy, the importance, and the
relevancy that the subject of homo-
sexuality has for so many of us students.
I, of course, can speak only as an
individual. I am a boy, a man; whatever
one wants to call a college junior, and
oddly enough, I happen to love other
men. It is of the romantic love that I
speak; of that love that is so often the
substance of our most pleasant dreams,
of that love that is longed-for in some of
our most fervent hopes. While I am
young I want to know many suitors. I
want to go out for dinner, to perhaps
drink, and then, if the feeling warrants,
to have sex and then to wake up beside
someone in the morning. These, I feel,
are the longings of all manKind, and to
recall a phrase used once or twice
before, they are "inalienable rights
There is a tragedy, though, in the
homosexual's relation to society, and
consequently his relation to himself.
From infancy onward we are taught by
those who love us most those actions,
attitudes, and practices that they deem
correct for our gender. And we learn our
lessons well. We learn that it is correct
for men to love women while we learn
that we must brush our teeth before bed.
These preconceived roles are subtly or
not so subtly enforced every single hour
of our waking lives. Since our youngest
days we have had these ideas for dinner,
have watched them on television, and
have been tucked in with them. They
were taught us by those who were, and
in most cases still are, the most
concerned for our welfare. Sadly enough,
they have made life for many of us
wretchedly miserable.
Upon realization that our hearts will
not respect the laws that our consciences
so brutally enforce, the torment placed in
our souls by our self-loathing is surely as
painful as any mankind has endured. We
attempt to annihilate those feelings in us
that are most to be esteemed. We try to
crush those emotions we so earnestly
feel, because we have been taught that
they are of the worse abnormalities, that
they are sinful, that those stirrings in
our hearts of which mankind has sung
throughout the ages are despicably
loathsome. It is a torment that affects
every aspect of our lives because it
affects that which is most profound in
us But mankind is strong and life beats
healthily in him. It is not long before he
sees that the heart is basically good and
that the seeds of his discontent come
from elsewhere.
Upon acceptance of himself, the
homosexual has overcome the fiercest
battle: his self-respect returns, he
realizes the natural healthiness of his
passions, and life shines before him in
and infinity of promises. However, now
he must go back into the world from
M'Mnyiu im �
which he came, and that world ticks with
explosive guilt. That world is a seething
miasma of self-contempt and it's
subsequent: contempt for others. The
homosexual stands as rebel to an order
imposed by the masses upon the
masses, and he is persecuted by the
narrow visioned. The homosexual breaks
that law which is "Man must love
woman, and woman man It is a law
that is necessary for the continuance of
the species, but that is inimical to the
happiness of a minority. And this brings
us to the heart of my letter.
The masses must allow all individuals
the freedom to pursue their individual
happiness, as long as those pursuances
do not harm others. It is a cry every
human has uttered at some time in his
life, "Let me be me and it is one that
will be cried as long as there are caged
hearts aching for their freedom. In our
time we have been given great reason for
hope. We have seen individuals who were
once persecuted for their differences now
walk down streets proudly and in the
esteem of others. All minorities, most
notably blacks, women, and homo-
sexuals, have made great advancement in
their being looked upon as fully
bona-fied human beings. These advance-
ments stand as shining monuments to
the justice that lives so strongly in the
human heart, and they ring as promises
for an even greater realization of the
basic equality of all human beings.
It is in the pyous spirit of these
advancements that I ask the student here
to realize that we are all the same
Homosexuals are nothing more or less,
nor more strange or odd than is any
person. We all ar the same, we are all
human beings, with all the greatness and
nobility, all the humor and warmth, all
the love and concern that that implies.
And in realizing the humanity of any
minority, we make that word "human"
even richer and more diverse that it is
already
Non-smokers have rights
Thomas Manning
ECU Student
To Fountainhead:
This letter comes in response to a
feature in the Fountainhead, December 9,
1975, by Pat Coyle entitled "Cigarette
smoking, 1975 style; it's a real drag
Ms. Coyle is one of many who is tired of
being told the risks involved ir smokinc.
After years of research, the wards of
snoking to smokers are well-established
ar.d irrefutable. I would like to air ?he
health hazards smokers create for
non-smokers.
Scientific evidence war summarized
in the 1972 US. Surgeon General's report
which said that second-hand" cigarette
smoke can worsen respiratory allergies,
'iati to complications in pregnancies,
irritate lungs and overtax the heart.
Smoke-filled air contains visible
smoke particles which can irritate the.
eyes, but the real villains of smoke, are
invisible. Scientists have discovered such
harmful substances as carbon monoxide,
nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen cyanide,
hydrogen sulfide, hydrocyanic acid and
arsenic in cigarette smoke.
One dramatic test conducted in
Germany showed that smoking several
cigarettes in a closed room raisixj the
concentration of nicotine and particulate
matter to such a level that the nonsmoker
would inhale as much harmful substance
as though he had jus smoked four or
five cigarettes. This is a logical reason
for smoking to be banned in the
classrooms.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association reports that nearly half of all
Americans who do no: smoke have more
potentially deadly carbon monoxide in
their blood than is regarded safe.
University of Tennessee researchers
found that nonsmokers pick up enough
nicotine to activate clotting components
of their blood, a problem also related to
increased frequency of heait � (tacks
among smokers.
According to the information released
in 1974 by the American Lung
Association, second-hand smoke "offers
serious threats to the lungs and
circulatory system of the unwilling
inhaler The researchers found that
twice as much tar and nicotine are found
in "sidestream" smoke (from the burning
end of the cigarette) as in the
"mainstream" smoke (that is exhaled by
the smoker). Sidestream also contahs
triple the 3-4 benzpyrene, a suspected
cancer-causing agent; five times tne
carbon monoxide, which robs the blood
of oxygen; and 50 times the ammonia as
mainstream smoke, according to the
survey.
A British study showed that at age 7,
children of smoking mothers were four
months behind the average reading level
and "significantly less well-adjusted
socially" as rated by their teachers on a
standaroized test.
Children who had been exposed to
tobacco smoke were found to have nearly
twice as much respiratory disease as
those not exposed to smoking in the
home, according to a study by Wayne
State University.
Before coming to ECU, I attended a
college which allowed smoking in all
classrooms (except for labs), by both
students and professors. Believe me
baby, it was murder (in more ways than
one) to sit in a smokehouse for almost
an hour.
I am not trying to infringe on the
individual freedom of smokers or exercise
intolerance. I am simply stating the
potential dangers non-smokers encounter
in a smoking environment. Clean air
should stay clean, as a sound practice of
maintaining good health in a clean
environment.

ECU should consider
new athletic conference
mm
To Fountainhead:
Finally the time is near. Our athletic
leaders are beginning to see the light
through the wool covering their eyes. I
have learned that ECU is considering
withdrawing from the Southern Confer-
ence, the anchor holding the Pirates from
sailing to higher success. The
conference, which has all the excitement
of a funeral home, never ceases to amaze
me. A school is allowed to pick which
conference members it wants to play in
football and still be in contention for the
title. And people wonder why Minges is
not filled to capacity to watch Pirate
basketball. First, let me say that I
consider myself a loyal Pirate supporter,
however, I can see other people's
opinion, when they point out that teams
in the Southern Conference are not crowd
drawers not even student drawers. I
honestly believe Minges would be packed
for every home game if our athletic
leaders would schedule teams such as;
South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Virginia
Tech, and those darling ACC teams on a
home basis.
I "
Right now, the eighth position of the
ACC is desired by three schools; South
Carolina. Virginia Tech. and ECU-all
proven of high athletic caliber and an
outstanding overall program
The problem exists in that the ACC
schools are in conflict in choosing which
new member Or do they want another
school at all?
A solution to the situation would be
to allow all three schools to join the
conference. The three schools would do
much in raising the standards of the ACC
in all sports, not just their "heralded
basketball. By this, a team would be
added from the south, the state of N.C
and the north, something pleasing to all
schools, possibly even Maryland!
But this is not my point. ECU would
favor greatly moving to independent
status. Maybe we could get teams to
come to Greenville and fill Ficklen
(35,000 capacity then), or even ECU
might go to a bowl game! By the way,
when was the last time a Southern
Conference school went to a post-season
bowl game?
Sincerely, David McNeill

Mendenhal I technical director
Baker; always behind the scenes
By DIANE TAYLOR
Staff Writer
Standing on the stage, lights
reflecting the perspiration on his brow,
his voice echoing slightly in the empty
theater. John Baker sighed almost
inaudibly, "Well, this mike is dead. One
down, two to go
As technical director for Mendenhal I
Student Center and technical advisor to
the Student Union, John Baker, 37, was
going through the steps of setting up yet
another performance.
It was after 7 p.m. and the already
hectic day was perhaps beginning to try
his patience. On this particular day
everyone scheduled to aid John in his
numerous chores was "out sick But
knowing the show must go on, the tasks
must be fulfilled and deadlines met, the
amiable fellow carried on anyway. Filling
in for the absent technician and sound
man, John moved from the stage,
upstairs to the projection booth, back to
the stage, downstairs to retrieve some
electrical cords from his office, back up
to the stageall the while easily
answering questions from the scribbling
reporter who had trailed behind him most
of the afternoon.
Whether being asked about his
childhood while he shoved the grand
piano stage left, conversing with Program
Director Ken Hammond on qualifications
for the performer or crawling around stage
on his hands and knees sea :hing for
outlet holes in the carpet, John remained
calm and ever ready with his quick smile
This day in the non-routine life of a
technical director began at 1 p.m. with a
quick check for messages from his
supervisor. Paul Breitman, Associate
Director of Mendenhall Student Center.
Then he fell to locating the parts he
had ordered for a bowling machine before
dashing over to Minges Coliseum to try
and locate new storage areas for the
collapsable sections of the stage there
"The safety inspector is after me he
grinned. "I've got a 6 p.m. deadline to
get it settled "
Leaving two students to dismantle the
stage, John sped around town on the
usual errands of purcahsing various parts
for the equipment he is in charge of,
tnen returned to Mendenhall to begin
setting up the theater for an 8 p.m
performance of the Psychic, Gil Eagles, a
featured lecturer for the evening.
By 4:15 he was headed back to
Minges determined to beat the deadline,
despite the absence of most of his crew.
Deadline met, stage tucked away, he
had just enough time 10 stop in for a
corned beef sandwich and two glasses of
milk, before he would be up back at
Mendenhall to complete preparations for
the show, make out the payroll for his
crew and technicians, mend two
malfunctioning bowling machines and
remove light and sound equipment from
the Coffeehouse.
"I'm a go-fer he chuckled.
"Anything they need, I go for And one
could almost actually picture a busy
gopher, popping in and out of rooms, up
and down the stairs, quietly going about
his tasks with the cheerful air of
accomplishing the duties of the day.
Later, discussing cue calls with the
tall, darkly dressed Eagles, the slightly
graying man in gray slacks and red nylon
shirt, standing 5'8" in his well-worn
tennis shoes, Baker seemed a man at
peace with himself.
"I live down on the Pamlico River,
about forty minutes from Washington,
N.C he said. "I like to go walking on
the beach there, it's sandy and the swans
are in. It's great to get away from it all
and relax he admitted.
"I furnish my own fish dinners by
digging up scallops and oysters from the
banks he brightened. "Sometimes I set
crab traps and pull them in too
As it neared show time, it was back
up to the projection booth where John
was filling in for his bed-ridden sound
man. There, amid cabinets, stools, cords
and whites of the sound system, light
boxes, reels of film and two massive
$10,000 each metal movie projectors,
John watched the stage for signals and
reminisced about how it all began,
originally.
"Believe it or not he grinned, "I
spent the first eight years of school in a
one-room school house The son of a
cattlebroker and dairy farmer. John said
he left the Courtland.Va. farm after his
eighth grade when his parents sent him
to Maniius, a college preparatory school,
in New York. He later majored in Liberal
Arts at Leichester College in Massachu-
setts.
He began working in the theater in
high school. "It gets in your blood, I
guess he said. Later he worked with the
Chine Theaters as projectionist and
on-call stage hand laughing he added,
"That's what I'm doing now
On a stint with the Air Force in
Panama, he married a local girl and
brought her back to the states. "But
she never liked New York he confided.
"She hated it, and I went there for the
money, so we got a divorce and she went
back to Panama
Now he lives alone but says he is
"not at all" lonely. "I used to have a
Doberman but she died and I never got
another one he said.
With his family now in New Bern,
John said he came back to this area and
was working for ABC Theaters in
Greenville when he heard of an opening
for a technical director at ECU. He
applied for the job and subsequently
joined the Student Center staff on
August 18 this year.
He says of his job, "It's so crazy you
couldn't help but like it. It's a great job,
and definitely not boring
Technically he is responsible for live
performances in Mendenhall theater,
concerts in Minges and Wright
Auditorium, the campus films, and "all
functions in Mendenhall that require
lights and sound he said. He must take
care of "functional maintenance and
preventive upkeep of the bowling alley
and billiard room he went on, as well
as being responsible for the ID.
equipment and general maintenance and
upkeep of all equipment in Mendenhall
and when it is moved.
In actually, his duties include much
more. Such things as putting braces in
the ceiling for hanging plants, attending
training sessions in other states,
managing his staff, advising the Student
Union committees on technical matters,
and more, fall under the encompassing
title of technical director.
To further insure a non-boring job are
the various performers he must deal with.
Speaking over the mystic Tanzanian
accent of the internationally known
mystic below, John recounted some of
the more interesting of the professionals
he has worked with.
Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, The
Royal Shakespeare Co the cast of
"1776 Duke Ellington, Mr. Zodiac and
Gil Eagles, are only a few of the
characters who have entered the realm of
his domain-the theater.
"I enjoy working with them all he
proclaimed. "In their own ways they are
all kind of strange he said.
"Like my favorite, Dolly Parton he
joked. "Her crew was so disorganized.
When I asked them about sound and
staging they didn't know what I was
talking about. When I asked how they
wanted the spot light, one of them said,
oh, just shine it on Dolly's tits so that's
,�'hat I told my crew he laughed.
Down on stage, beyond the big
windows of the projection booth, the
"fastest hypnotist in the world was
winning applause from his blindfolded
feats of identification of a check book
and brush. It was time for a brief
intermission and the show would go on.
For John Baker, the evening would
extend long after the show was over.
There were microphones to be stored,
rooms to be set up for the next day's
events and a long drive home. Usually,
when he has a show to work on the night
before, John doesn't report to work until
after lunch the following day.
But, "They changed plans on me and

on the alert at all times to avoid the Christmas shopper massacre, and better yet,
should stay away from stores that have large SALE GOING ON' signs in their front
windows.
The saga of the Christmas shopper continues and at the present seems to have
evolved into a rather new form of homo sapiens. Using greater agility, larger muscles,
and blatant selfishness to thwart off the unagressive shoppers, the new breed can
cruise main street quicker than a speeding shopping cart, and more accurately than a
tear gas canister. Fountainhead placed one of its faithf jl servants on a busy street
corner to observe the actions of the new shoppers. (No I was not using that time to
pimp in my dark blue Riviera with the Sony antenna protruding from me rear window)
First of all a herd of housewives stampeded tne greater Greenville shopping area
and in one fell swoop had gone through every possible store in sight. If only Chief
Cannon could have been there to control the riotous mob! The lady stampede ended
in approximately an hour and the relatively quiet streets returned to the norm. The
only excitement left for the remainder of the observation period was watching a small
child play in the brick sandboxes the city so courteously constructed for the little
tots. (O, those aren't sandboxes?) One major conclusion from this wasted observation
was that greater Greenville had better watch out when the last few days of shopping
arrive.
The Christmas shopper has obviously taken on a new character and when the
season comes around once again, new identities appear in the mildest of persons.
The thought of beating the crowds has taken on a literal meaning in the minds of
some shoppers and through empirical studies it has been proven unhealthy for the
meek to step into a shopping area. Being a Christmas shopper has obviously turned
into a game where the criteria is aggressive behavior and a red neck instead of a red
nose.
Remember what happened to poor Rudolph at Christmas! Take note all potential
shoppers and be courteous to those around you so that they will be allowed to join
the reindeer games. May your shopping days be pleasant and your recovery in
intensive care speedy.

A thletic Director Bill Cain: A Man of Action
By STEVE 1
Staff '
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Bill Cain is a busy man.
He is so busy in fact tha the new Athletic Director's schedule may find him
speaking one evening to a Spcts Club in Suffolk. Va. and back in Greenville early the
next morning, talking to a Kizanis Senior Citizen Group at breakfast.
And in an era of tight budgets. Title IX differences and rapid growth in the East
Carolina Athletic Department. Cain's job is even more hectic.
Cam handles the hectic pace like he would a business. His approach is to evaluate
each day and to see what more can be done the next day to improve.
"I'm trying to set up the Athletic Deoartment like a professional business and I'm
busting myself to do it everyday.
"I'm trying to do as good a job as I can and I look at some of the successful
people around me and try to model myself after them
Cam knows the success of the Athletic program not only depends on his ability as
ai administrator, but his ability to communicate with the people around him.
This job is no ego trip to Bill Cain said Cain. "If I am going to be successful,
East Carolina is going to have to be successful.
This success is going to come from our coaches and I'm going to have to be able
to communicate with them If we can't communicate, one of us is going to have to
go
At the end of the day. I try to evaluate the day as to how productive it was and
then figure how I can improve the next day
"It's almost an obsession to myself to motivate myself in this way, by taking
present situations and making them better. If I don't accomplish this, then I'm not
doing my job and I'm out of business
Cain came up through the ranks at East Carolina, working under the late Clarence
Stasavich for five years, first as business manager then as Assistant Athletic Director.
Many believed Cain would be the man to take Stasavich's place, but none believed
that Cam would be pressed into the job as a result of the former Athletic Director's
deal
Nonetheless, when the recommendation came for a new man to head the Athletic
Department. Cain was a unanimous choice lo Bill Cain, this was the biggest honor
which could be bestowed upon him by the committee, many of which he had been
associated with for many years.
"I guess that was the biggest thrill I had. when the committee voted unanimously
to make me the Athletic Director. In my mind I knew I would have the greatest
challenge I had probably ever had. but I wanted to meet that challenge.
Cain, however, makes no bones that he can never fill the void left by Stasavich,
that the best he can do is just be Bill Cain.
There is no way I can emphasize the job Clarence Stasavich did at East Carolina.
I will never try and fill his shoes because it's impossible. He gave me the training
and opportunity to learn and. to me, he'll always remain an image of East Carolina
For the future. Cain seeks to continue to make improvements, in the

Cain has a way he deals with coaches who want to spend his money - a way
said is normally foolproof.

Athletes honored for fall contributions to ECU sport
By JANET HOEPPEL
and
JOHN EVANS
Eight athletes, three men and five
women, have been selected as the
Fountainhead Athletes of the Year for fall
sports These athletes qualify for the
ear-end Athlete of the Year voting, along
with the recipients of the fall and spring
awards, to be chosen later
The athletes named are: Cary
Godette, football. Tom Tozer, soccer. AI
Kalameja. cross-country. Frances Swen-
hold. field hockey. Gail and Marie
Chamblee, volleyball. Clare Albnttain,
swimming; and Susan Helmer, tennis.
Heading the list of male athletes is
Cary Godette Godette was selected over
several other top players on the Pirates
football team because of the outstanding
courage, leadership and talent he
displayed in coming back from a knee
injury in 1974 to lead the Pirate defensive
line
Playing most of the year with some
sort of injury, Godette totaled 57 primary
tackles. 16 assists, eight quarterback
sacks dnd 16 tackles for losses.
Godette's eight sacks were the most on
the team by a large margin and his 18
hits behind the line also led the team.
These statistics are even more
impressive when one considers that
Godette was rarely run at and. when he
was. often picked up double-team
coverage.
Opposing coaches often labeled
Godette as "the backbone" of the East
Carolina defense and the Havelock native
was rewarded by his selection to the
All-Conference team for the second time
and an Honorable Mention citation by the
Associated Press
Perhaps Godette's place on the team
was best described by the following
quote from the Citadel's head coach
Bobby Ross.
"Godette's amazing in that you never
see him get knocked off his feet
mmm
Godette will not be playing for ECU
next year. Despite having another year of
eligibility remaining, the injuries are
apparently just too much for the man to
put up with again next year.
Tom Tozer served as a team captain
for this year's 3-5-3 team. In 1975, Tozer
contributed four goals and six assists to
the team, as well as some spirited
leadership
Included in his four goals was a
three-goal performance against Richmond
in a 4-0 East Carolina win.
Tozer ended his career with ten goals
and 1f assists. As his qreatest thrill, the
Greenville senior said was "when we beat
William and Mary my sophomore year for
the Northern Division championship and
making the All-Southern Conference team
in 1973
AI Kalameja was the selection from
the cross-country team. Although the
cross-country team enjoyed limited
success this year, Kalameja was
constantly near the front or at the front,
of the East Carolina pack.

East Carolina's swimming team has a

Paimgren stated in remarkably good

Paimgren attended the Swedish

Finland for one year before transferring
to ECU. "I kind of hated to leave my

Carson's Christmas is brightened by track
East Carolina track coach Bill Carson
will have a merry Christmas this year.
His team, and three individual members
in particular, assured that last week in a
meet at VMI.
In the only indoor meet prior to the
holidays, East Carolina walked away from
a seven team field. The Pirates recorded
93 points, while second place Richmond
managed only 40 12. Three runners,
Larry Austin, Marvin Rankins and Donnie
Mack, all recorded national qualifying
times.
Austin ran the 60-yard dash in a time
of 6.1 to win the event, while Mack had a
6.1 in the semi-finals. Rankins, a
freshman from Bertie High School, took
the high hurdles in a 7.2 time.
"I'm extremely pleased with the way
we are looking at this point said
Carson. "Three have already qualified for
the nationals and I feel that three or four
others will do so when we come back.
"I expected Austin to run as he did at
VMI In fact, I expect a 6.0 from Larry,
and now that the pressure of national
qualifying is over, there's little doubt he'll
do just that. Larry is the fastest man on
the team.
"Donnie Mack was recruited with the
intent of being a great sprinter. He's very
explosive and his start has not surprised
me. Donnie and Larry have good legs and
the only thing needed was a good start
from the blocks. In preseason they
looked great out of the blocks
The other boost came from Marvin
Rankins. Rankins was tabbed a high
school All-America and he's already
living up to that.
adjustment to college track. Obviously he
made that quite well. To have run a 7.2
this soon is really amazing, but moreso,
he ran that with a slightly pulled
hamstring. Marvin's comment to me after
the race was, 'Coach, I can run a 7.0
And I don't doubt that at all
For Carson, old Santa came a bit
early. But Carson doesn't feel Santa
pulled all the goodies from the bag.
Instead he looks for more packages of
cheer in the new year.

volleyball and basketball.
But it is for her play on the volleyball
court that Marie is honored. In speaking
of her co-captain, Coach Bolton says that
Marie is a "good setter who had to
convert to spiker late in the season for
the team's benefit. She made an
outstanding player
Like her sister, Marie is as
outstanding in her academic life as in
sports She is a member of the Phi
Kappa Phi Society and the Student
Advisory Council for women's athletics.

Frances Swenholt, a senior from Falls
Church, Va. Swenholt co-captained this
year's team where she has been starting
at the fullback for the past four years.
For her outstanding play and leadership,
Swenholt was voted to the Deep South
All-Star team and the Southeast All-Star
Hockey Team during the 1975 season.
Coach Laurie Arrants comments that
Swenholt's presence on the team was
essential to the offensive effort: "In
attitude and play, Frances was our most
stable and intense player. She was the
backbone of the offense and the entire
team
Swenholt, a P.E. major, has also
played basketball for four years and was
one of seven women who received
athletic scholarships this year.

Cain concerned about students' role.
Continued from page 8.
In approaching his job, Cain also
recognizes the importance of the
students to the program, and he said he
views their interests before aiyone else's
when making decisions.
"It's an old cliche said Cain, "but
the students are the backbone of the
University. They are the top priority and
have to be in your thoughts when making
a decision, because they are the biggest
supporters of our program.
"I feel very strongly about the
students and what they say. I have to
have their input before I can evaluate and
make decisions. I'm always anxious to
talk to the students, individually or in
groups, and I will devote time to them
when I may not do it to other things.
"When looking at the attendance, I
look at the students first because they
have already paid for their tickets and
their attendance, therefore, is a reflection
on how entertaining our events are to
them
"My philosophy, and I believe it
sincerely, is that we have to sell our total
athletic program to the people as a
successful project. We have to sell this
program to the students. They are not
going to accept the program blindly.
"We have to let them know we are
trvina and everyone in the department
has to be conscious of the image they
portray
Although Bill Cain has been Athletic
Director for less than two months, the
people around him and those who are
familiar with the way he operates can tell
the groundwork is being laid for another
era in East Carolina athletics. An era in
which Bill Cain will strive to lead the
university's teams to far greater
successes than they have ever
accomplished before.
And knowing Bill Cain, his attempts
will become realities.

swimmer by Coach Steveda Chepko,
Albrittain has made the championship
flight in every state event she entered in
state tournaments.
A swimmer for two years at ECU,
Albrittain took the 100 individual medley
at the NCAIAW state meet in 1974 while
qualifying for the nationals.
So far this year, Albrittain has a third
place finish in the 100 freestyle at the
state meet. She is also one of the
scholarship recipients in 1975.
Susan Helmer represents the tennis
team on which she has played for her
two years here at ECU. Owning a 7-7
win-lost record in 1975, Helmer played
several key matches during the 1975
season. Coach Ellen Warren comments
that, "Susan was one of the most
cooperative players I worked with. She
always listened carefully and did her
