Resolution passes
Pub Board wants independence
By BARBARA MATHEWS
Staff Writer
The ECU Pub Board Thursday
adopted a resolution to begin an
investigation of the possibility of
becoming independent of the SGA.
The resolution, made by Phil
Arrington, includes a possible forum to
be aired on WECU, letter to the editor
of the Fountainhead, and other means of
gauging student feelings about inde-
pendent status for the media board.
According to Pub Board chairman
Diane Taylor, results of the investigation
will be presented to the SGA in the
spring if the concept seems feasible.
"We will be asking the SGA for their
support before going before the Board of
Trustees for final approval said Taylor.
"We feel the publications are not
getting a fair deal, and by breaking away
from the SGA we hope to find a better
way to represent student pulications
One of the alternatives being
considered is for publications to receive
yearly a specific percentage of student
fees.
Rebel
winners
selected
By JOHN DAYBERRY
Staff Writer
Seven ECU students won cash prizes
totaling $450 in a Fall contest held by
The Rebel . ECU'S literary magazine.
Luke Whisnant, a freshman in the
general college, Helena Woodard, a
senior English major, and Richard Wayne
Smith, of Kemersville won $50 prizes
each for poems they submitted to the
magazine.
Susan Bitner, a senior English major,
and Bob Glover, a junior English major,
won prizes in the area of prose works.
Bitner won a $100 first prize for her
story, "Tyger, Tyger Glover won a $50
second prize for his story, "For Ray
Paschal
In the contest's art division, Matt
Smartt, a senior in printmaking, won
$100 for his print, "The Rhinoceros that
Ate Cleveland Betsy Kurzinger, a senior
communications art major won $50 for an
untitled photograph.
In addition to the cash winnings, the
students will have their works published
in the forthcoming issue of the
magazine.
Money for the contest prizes was
funded by the N.C. Council of the Arts,
according to Jeff Rollins, editor-in-chief
of The Rebel.
"In choosing material selected to win
prizes, we tried to let the good be our
guide rather than the sensational said
Rollins.
See Rebel, page 4.
1IWIII I IglllMllUHHIIIMW
According to Arrington, such a
method of funding would make
publications more responsible.
"This method enforces fiscal
responsibility by letting publications
know at the onset the specific funding
they will have he said.
Buccaneer editor Monika Sutherland
presented to the Pub Board the results of
a questionnaire concerning the funding
of publications she had sent to various
schools in the area.
Sutherland challenged the require-
ment that all ad revenues collected by
publications be turned over to the SGA.
"If I am selling ads, I am doing it to
put out a better yearbook for the
students she said.
"Publications are one of the few
tangible things students receive in return
for their fees
The Pub Board expressed concern for
control over independent publications.
We will need some type of
administrative control over an indepen-
dent Pub Board, and new methods of
appointment or possibly election of
editors and Pub Board members will have
to be considered according to Taylor.
The politics now involved in
publications is a major concern,
according to Sutherland.
"We need a Pub Board separate from
the SGA that would not be divided
between politics and publications she
said.
EBONY HERALD DEBATE
In other action, the Board tabled a
motion to replace the Ebony Herald with
a minority section in the Fountainhead.
According to Arrington, the SGA now
publishes the Ebony Herald in violation
of Pub Board by-laws.
The matter will be discussed at the
next meeting with representatives of the
Ebony Herald.
PRINTING CHANGE
The Board also heard a bid placed by
Fountainhead editor Mike Taylor to print
the Fountainhead in Mt. Olive, N.C.
The Fountainhead is now printed at
the Daily Reflector.
"Including transportation costs, we
could still save a minimum of $100 to
$150 a week said Taylor

SGA Approves
Chesson blamed for budget mistake
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
The Student Government Associ-
ation's Appropriations Committee, in a
report to the SGA Legislature Monday
night, blamed SGA Treasurer Larry
Chesson for the $95,000 mistake found in
the SGA budget last October.
The Legislature voted overwhelmingly
to accept the report, introduced by Craig
Hales, Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee.
The error caused the Legislature to
m
act with incorrect figures in appropriation
matters from October to December, 1975,
and to over-estimate the funds at its
disposal by $95,000.
The mistake made by Chesson was
compounded by a lack of effort to
consult advisors who might have found
the error much sooner, according to the
report.
"I did not receive a copy of the report
which had the error said ECU auditor
Robert Edwards. "If we had received one,
we might have picked the error out. I
think everyone who knows accounting
i ninMiji i mm ? Mnnniii
could have picked it up
SGA financial advisor, Dr. Jack
Thornton, said Chesson duplicated his
figures.
"I think he picked up his cash, CD's
(Certificates of Deposits, which are notes
in the bank stating we have certain funds
there at a given time) and earned surplus.
The earned surplus is the cash and
CD's
In others, Chesson added one set of
figures twice, said Hales.
The error actually came about when

Officials beefing up football slate
News that athletic officials are trying to get Duke University
on the football schedule and to move up the starting date of the
grid pact with Wake Forest should be well received by all Pirate
football fans.
This past season's football schedule was by far the most
attractive ever put together for the Pirates. In addition to
conference contest the Bucs faced three Atlantic Coast
Conference foes in non-loop games and of course everyone
knows how Pat Dye's charges fared in those bouts.
The Pirates have faced Wake Forest once before on the
gridiron and came away with their first win ever over an ACC
football team in 1963 in the first contest ever played in Ficklen
Stadium.
Pirate athletic officials have been trying to get Duke on the
schedule for some time. ECU officials reportedly had a chance
to even get the Blue Devils to come to Greenville several
seasons ago. But, the Blue Devils reportedly wanted a $50,000
guarantee from the Pirates and ECU officials decided the game
would be a losing proposition played in the small confines of
Ficklen, especially with $50,000 in money up front just to get
the Blue Devils to Pitt County.
Beefing up the football slate has been a long, drawnout
process for Pirate officialsa task that was not an easy one.
Athletic Director Clarence Stasavich tried for years to get
State and Carolina on a football contract.
First State was added to the schedule, then Carolina. And,
this past year ECU faced Virginia for the first time ever in
football.
This past year a contract with Wake Forest was signed and
the starting date for that home-on-home series may be moved
up. And, contract talks with Duke are underway.
- THIS WIV
u ah iMl
i
OMO rJ0KAl!
As the late Stasavich explained, there was a day when ACC
schools would not talk to the Pirates about getting on the
football schedule. But today, the Pirates have either already
played, have a contract with or are working on a contract now
with five of the seven schools in the loop.
Pirate football has come a long way in two major areas. For
one, the Pirates can now give these ACC schools about as much
competition, sometimes even more, than they can stand.
But, just as importantly as the Pirates' success on the
playing field is their success in the stands. State regularly
draws one of its largest gates of the season when the Pirates
treck up to Raleigh.
The Pirates also do just as well in Chapel Hill when they
face the Tar Heels. And, ECU even took a good following to
Charlottesville in November to face Virginia.
ECU has come of age on the playing field and at the game.
And, those are apparently characteristics that ACC football
teams find increasingly attractive.

The parking problem around Mendenhall Student Center,
which on a good day is bad, was aggrevated even more last
Wednesday when the Campus Police put up ropes and blocked
off the metered parking spaces. The ropes were up early
Wednesday and kept students and other people who have quick
business in Mendenhall, from parking.
The question of why the parking spaces were blocked off
was asked until someone noted that Wednesday also was the
day that the ECU Board of Trustees met at Mendenhall. So, the
parking spaces were blocked off for the VIP's.
With the terrible shape that the dirt parking lots located
between Mendenhall and Ninth Street and the Joyner Library
and Ninth Street are usually in, we think it would have been a
good idea to reserve the VIP's a parking space in those two
muddy lots.
The Trustees are supposed to deal with ECU problems. And,
parking In those would have given them a first hand look at one
problem?and they could have taken part of that problem home
with them in their cars from the mud and from the rough ride
after the front end alignment of their cars were knocked out
driving over the washboard called a parking lot.
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without
newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment o

Notes recent student death
Student cites growing lack of identity
To Fountainhead:
After returning from vacation, I picked
up Tuesday's Fountainhead and was
shocked to read "Student found dead
But perhaps even more shocking was the
somewhat incomplete coverage that it
was given. I waited to hear more on this
in Thursday's edition but searched
through "Eric Carmen" reviews and
trustees' decisions on athletic policies to
find no further mention of this tragic
event. (Did it not seem strange to anyone
e'se the he apparently killed himself in a
college dorm without anyone noticing?)
I cai understand how an administra-
tion might want an event of this nature
played down (after all, it was bad for
student recruitment); or perhaps, his
family could have requested it. But my
God, there wasn't even a brief memoriam
mentioning him in his own student
paper.
However, as it may not seem at this
point, my purpose in writing is not just
to criticize the coverage (perhaps more is
forthcoming.) I believe the issue is far
deeper than this. Therefore, I hope to
raise a few questions that I feel we must
consider. It seems we have fallen into a
familiar technological-societal trap here
at ECU that is, we have grown so
rapidly that in many ways we are all in
danger of becoming frighteningly
anonymous, known only to a computer
somewhere. We are so caught up in
making the "big time" that very little
seems to go to improve what we now
have.
It seems that we, the students, like
most of society, are in a condition of
being alienated, of being asleep. It is this
condition that corrupt politicians in our
society as well as unconcerned
administrators and teachers in our
schools depend upon. Perhaps now it is
time we broke this trend. Let's wake up
and ask some questions and demand
some answers. Let us care about each
other.
For instance, why does one of your
classes have ninety people in it? Why
doesn't one of your professors give a
damn about you and why don't we have
some sort of course and teacher
evaluation to improve instruction? What
part do you have in establishing the
curriculum you pay for? And next quarter
when you buy your books, ask why the
cost is so outrageous and why the
university couldn't provide a book co-op
to replace what they call the student (?)
Student cites increasing activity
Homosexual trends noted
To Fountainhead and Mr. Noel Thomas
Manning:
Upon reading Mr. Noel Thomas
Manning's somewhat redundant plea to
be disassociated with anything even
vaguely homosexual (God forbid!) I was
impressed by his brilliant use of the
paradox. His purported sympathy was
almost obliterated by insensitivity
coupled with blatant ignorance about the
subject. (I must pat myself on the back
for that last statement-its not bad for an
emotionally unbalanced mentally depra-
ved child molester contemplating
suicide). The point being Mr. Noel
Thomas Manning, that I am a
homosexual and was greatly offended by
your obvious ignorance of our particular
(or should I say queer?) segment of
society. I think your point could have
been made in twenty-five words or less
without indulging in the pursuance of
your philosophy of homosexuality and
Reader raps Manning's
stand on homosexuality
To Fountainhead:
To object to all the asinine ideas in
Mr. Noel Thomas Manning's recent
written tirade would require a letter as
long and boring as his. Accordingly, i;ve
decided to write a reply which freshmen
can complete reading bef ore theygraduate
and seniors can complete reading before
they die.
In stating the obvious fact that some
gay people are insensitive and even
cruel-as are some membeers of any
sexual or social group-Noel Thomas
Manning offers examples which can
result only from his own gross
ignorance. He refers darkly to
"newspaper accounts depicting greusome
murders or disfigurements resulting from
Sadistic or masochistic involvements
and he hints direly that "this" is the
liberation sought by "Thomas Manning
author of the letter which Noel Thomas
Manning is protesting.
I've never been stabbed or beaten by a
lover, and only rarely have I been bitten
(accidents will happen!), so perhaps I'm
prejudiced against Noel Thomas
Manning's viewpoint. Nonetheless, the
?m ii tnwmumm
fact is that sadism and masochism are
distinct from homosexuality, although
some gays, like some non-gays, have
sadist c or masochistic tendencies.
Futhermore, to imply that a crime
involving homosexuals is a "homosexual
crime" is absurd-is Charles Manson
known as the perpetrator of "mass
heterosexual murders?"
Ignorant and condescending "toler-
ance is no less cruel than ignorant and
condescending bigotry, Noel Thomas
Manning.
As you noted, "Despite the words of
Shakespeare, I believe thereis something
in a name. When a good one is ruined,
all is lost for some
Mr. Noel Thomas Manning, as one
who fights so frantically to defend his
name from misrepresentation and ruin
you might imagine the concern of those
who are fighting to preserve their love
from the same threats.

the insinuated damnation of us all. Don't
get me wrong, I do appreciate the fact
that you don't hold us in contempt and
hope that you could find it in your heart
to put in a good word with the Almighty.
But back to basics, lo start with, my
relationships with otner women have not
only been healthy but, for the most part,
extremely satisfying physically, intellec-
ually, and emotionally (surprise, surprise).
And to say that the U.S. allows
homosexuals to exercise their freedom is
so ridiculous that it's almost laughable.
My conception of freedom doesn't
include being fired from a job, getting
beaten up (both solely on the basis of
homosexuality) or living in constant fear
of someone finding out that I am gay.
Although it took awhile to pick a winner,
the inference that we homos are
responsible for the majority of the daily
atrouhes that occur in our society
(especially the part about children-
straights seem to love that myth better
than the Young and the Restless) won
the "Flagrant Misconception" award.
Come on Mr. Manning, even you can't
really believe that. We are human, v' h
you yourself admitted, and some of l
have problems (doesn't everyone?) But
that doesn't justify blaming the entire
world's insanity on us. Get off of your
podium and read the fine print. When
that illustrious day of reckoning comes
about that you are so fond of
mentioning, I think I can handle it. What
I can't handle and am damned tired of
fighting are self-righteous people like
yourself who try to decide what is right
or wrong for people like me. I am a
homosexual, and frankly I wouldn't want
it any other way. If I can accept myself
why can't you?

book store. And by the way, did anyone
ever ask you for suggestions in using
these profits? This is only the beginning,
but we must begin. Your waking up will
be resisted, for injustice depends upon
its sleeping majority.
But perhaps even more, it means
waking up to cruelties that we ourselves
inflict on fellow students, and remedying
them. It involves growing up enough to
realize that there are people outside of
ourselves, some who are alienated
because we don't care.
One of our fellow students has
destroyed a life that this university
supposedly exists to help him fulfill. It is
too late to remedy that now, but not to
learn from it. An investigation into this
matter may reveal some ills that need
healing. Perhaps a widespread study of
how to improve student life is in line. (It
might cost a little but so did the lights
in Ficklen and where are our priorities.)
Anyway, one among us has died,
somewhat anonymously, and now we
have a choice. Do we find another to fill
the spot in order to keep on growing or
can we slow down long enough to ask
why?

ten thousand people maybe more,

People hearing without listening,

Rebel contest

"I thought the response to the contest
was extremely good. There were about
200 poems, 15 prose works, and 60 art
works submitted to us.
"We held the contest to bring the
magazine to the attention of the
students, and to promote developing
artists and writers on this campus
The art works submitted to the
contest were judged by members of the
ECU art faculty, according to Danny
O'Shea, art editor.
The Rebel will probably be distributed
to students in late Feb according to
Rollins.
It will be free, and will probably be
placed on campus Fountainhead stands.

Conclusions in the report were that
the legislature needs to work more
closely with the Executive since the SGA
Legislature acted on wrong information
for so long, and had such bad results.
The present system of accounting is
efficient, the report concluded, but, a
new method of selecting the SGA
Treasurer should be found, it said.
Recommendations by the report
included the SGA Treasurer should be
chosen in a new way, that the Treasurer
should work more closely with the
Legislature's Appropriations Committee,
and that the Treasurer should work more
closely with those technical advisors at
this disposal.

Additions to the newer facility,
however, will eventually lead to the old
plant's termination, said Lowry.
As soon as the new plant is in full
operation and "some of the kinks gotten
out engineers will begin working on
plans to raze the half century old facility,
Lowry said.
Work has been proceeding for the
past year to add two new fuel oilnatural
gas boilers to the 14th Street plant.
Lowry said installation of these two
boilers should be complete by January

Ad revenue increases
Advertising revenues for Fountainhead
through the first four months of the
school year have already surpassed the
ad revenue for all of last year, according
to Fountainhead Editor Mike Taylor.
Ad sales through January 8th were
listed at $14,112, Taylor noted. Last year,
according to Taylor, the paper showed ad
revenues collected at just over $13,000.
Collections so far this year, as of
January 8th, were $4291.95
And, if ad sales continue at the rate
they have through the next five months
of the school year, Taylor predicts total
sales for the September 1975-May 1976
period could easily top $30,000.
The $14,000 plus we have sold so far
has been in only 25 papers. Our printing
schedule for the rest of the school year
through May calls for 33 more papers.
We could easily go over the $30,000 in
advertising sold Taylor contended.
The Fountainhead editor admitted
though that a lot of the ad sales cited
above were funds that would not be in
hand for at least several months.
"Our collections are usually a couple
of months behind sales. It usually takes
a couple of months to collect most
accounts. But, the paper has had a good
collection percentage in the past.
Sometimes it may be a few months late
but the paper does get paid for most ads
sold Taylor continued.
Taylor explained that revenue collect-
ed was held by the Student Fund
Accounting Office.
"The SGA voted this past Fall to
place our ad revenue back into the
general fund. So, what we collect does
not come back to us Taylor continued.
The advertising period from Septem-
ber through Christmas was the best one
the student newspaper has ever enjoyed,
according to the editor.
"Through that time period we actually
printed some 600 pages for an average of
24 pages an issue. That is an increase of
some 63 per cent over that same time
period in 1974 Taylor explained.
The increase in ad sales and the size
of paper comes mainly from the increase
in advertising inches.
We decided at the first of the school
year to expand out advertising format to
try and bring in as much business as
possible. In the past, the paper had been
somewhat restrictive on advertising. The
expanded policy serves two purposes in
bringing in more ad dollars and also
giving us room to expand the paper
itself Taylor pointed out.
But, while ad revenue is up, Taylor
admitted costs are up sharply.
"We got a larger budget from the SGA
this year to cover new positions, salary
increases and printing costs
Taylor pointed out that printing costs,
due to higher paper costs, and also due
to the enlarged size of the paper, along
with salary hikes, would eat up a large
part of the ad revenue increase.
"But, when the final tally is in next
summer, I think we can show that we
expanded the paper, almost doubled its
size as a matter of fact, and cost the
SGA little more than previous years. Our
ad revenue will cover any expansion we
have done Taylor predicted.

New Orleans conference
Aronson adresses international gathering
Dr. Nicole Aronson of the ECU
Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures addressed an international
gathering of French teachers and
scholars in New Orleans last week.
She appeared on a program of
addresses on seventeenth century French
literature, a session sponsored by the
American Association of Teachers of
French
The Association was among the
organizations responsible for coordinat-
ing the convention, which drew French
scholars from 40 nations
Dr Aronson's address, "Plotine ou la
Precieuse dans Clelie will appear in a
published collection of essays on
seventeenth century French literature
later this year.
At the recent 25th annual Mountain
Interstate Foreign Language Conference
at Appalchian State University, Dr.
Aronson organized three conference
sections on "Women in French
Literature and charied Section I. The
sections consisted of presentations by
.scholars from various states on role of
women in French literature since the
Middle Ages, as well as critical and
biographical surveys of women writers in
France.
Dr Aronson also spoke on views of
the U.S. given in the eighteenth-century
writings of Brissot and Chastellux at the
N.C. Foreign Language Conference in
Greensboro in November.
The conference was sponsored by
the Foreign Language Association of
N.C. and the N.C. Department of Public
Instruction.
The conference's French Division was
directed by Professor Marguerite Perry,
chairman of the ECU Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures, who
was named an honorary life member of
the Foreign Language Association at this
meeting.
A feature of the program was an
appearance by Francoise Michele Roux of
Alleins, France, currently a student at
ECU, who was interviewed regarding her
impressions of North Carolina.
Dr. Aronson's address was based on
research done at the Bibliotheque
Nationale in Paris last summer with
funding from the ECU Research Council.
It will be published in a special
bicentennial issue of the French Review
in May.
Bus accidents number eleven
Pitt County school buses were in 11
this year but no one was
injured, according to the county school
superintendent
Most accidents occurred in the city
due to congestion, narrow streets, and
fewer opportunities to view one's
surroundings, said Superintendent
Authur S Altord and Transportation
Supervisor Lelon Forhnes.
"Bus accidents are usually caused by
the public s failure to yield accompanied
by a bus driver's problem of visibility
said Forhnes
The most common accidents are
backing and yielding, according to
Forlines.
"The public should automatically slow
down when they see a bus commented
Forhnes.
"All the bus drivers of Pitt County are
trained by a state transportation
representative who is located in Pitt
County said Alford.
According to Alford, bus driver
training includes 24 hours of class work
plus an 18 hour road-test. After the road
test, the driver is not monitored due to a
lack of time, said Alford.

Pff County
EMT program begins
By LARRY Z1CHERMAN
Staff Writer
Fifty-six persons underwent the first
phase of testing in the North Carolina
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
program in Pitt County recently.
The Practical Examination, in which
students are given medical problems and
asked to demonstrate how they would
handle it in a real emergency was part of
the test.
Students were tested in the areas of
vital signs, primary and secondary survey
of patients, airway management, splint-
ing, shock and hemorrhage control,
card io-pulmonary resuscitation, spinal
injury management, extrication from
vehicles, and patient movement.
Supervised by Tom Collie of the
North Carolina Office of Emergency
Medical Services (OEMS) in Raleigh, the
nine examiners each tested the students
in groups of four, having them alternate
between victims and rescuers.
The average student finished the
examination in 90 minutes, and the entire
examination had to be satisfactorally
completed before the student was
allowed to take the 200-question written
examination.
The EMT course is a minimum of 91
hours long. This course consisted of 85
hours, 73 classroom and 12 clinical
(emergency room). After completing this
course, ant EMT graduate is able to
sustain life until arrival at a medical
facility. No drugs can be administered,
defibrilation (conversion of cardiac arrest
using electroshock) cannot be used, or
any other such techniques. This training
comes under the 810-hour Paramedia or
Mobile Intensive Care Unit Operator
course. This also requires licensing by
the State Medical Board.
A nationwide Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) program came into being
several years ago, when the U.S.
Department of Transportation's National
Highway Traffic Safety Board found tnat
a large number of persons injured in
highway accidents, many of whom could
have been saved with prompt medical
care, died before reaching a hospital.
This program was embodied in the
U.S. Emergency Medical Services System
act of 1973.
This act stated that emergency care
must be adequately available to all
persons without inquiry as to ability to
pay, and for each EMS provider to have
adequate personnel with continual
training, adequate vehicles for transport-
ation, and access to an adequate medical
facility for treatment of patients.
The act also specifies that the red
cross usually found on ambulances be
reserved for American Red Cross use
only, and designed instead the Star of
Life, the new EMS symbol.
The course was coordinated in Pitt
County through Pitt Technical Institute
by John L. Watson, chief of Pitt
Ambulance Service, and taught by
Watson and Sylvia Waters, a nursing
supervisor at Pitt County Memorial
Hospital. Physicians were brought in
frequently to instruct students in various
areas.
THE STAR OF LIFE is the symbol of the
Emergency Medical Services.

Pol. Sci coffee room
Come by for coffee, controversy
By RAY TYLER
The college bull session is alive and
well in the East Carolina (ECU) political
science department. The department has
created a daily talk-a-thon named it the
coffee room and made some money on
the idea.
The coffee room is a gathering place
for students during class breaks. Coffee
costs ten cents a cup but the
conversation is free.
The conversations are continuous
affairs which drift along despite the
entrance and exit of many students.
The coffee-sipper can hear a wide
range of topics discussed, including
things like, grades, professors, sex,
drinking, and capital punishment.
The coffee room idea grew from a
departmental retreat in November 1974,
at Atlantic Beach. The retreat was
organized by Dr. Hans indorf, a political
science professor, and last years Student
Governmer Association (SGA) President
Rober Lucas.
From the retreat came many ideas
designed to improve the relationship
between students and faculty. Such ;jv
included a student representative at
department faculty meeting, student-run
assemblies, 'contact' students
responsible for making announcements
in class, independent study and the
coffee room.
Some of the ideas have not worked.
The issues facing the departmental
faculty meetings are not crucial to the
student's interest. The contact students
were not making announcements and the
independent study program has had a
nominal response.
But the coffee room has been a
success.
The coffee room is run by the student
faculty advisory committee in political
science. The committee found an empty
room on the first floor of C-wing in
Brewster Building and furnished it with
anonymous gift of $100 and furniture
donated by faculty members.
The sale of coffee brought in some
money which was used to finance a
department picnic last spring and a party
this past month.
Connie Nanney is chairman of the
department's student faculty advisory
committee which includes six students
and two professors. Nanney views the
coffee room as a big plus for the
department.
"The best thing that has happened
around here is the coffee room said
Mrs. Nanney. "It has drawn majors closer
together and gotten people interested in
political science
Mrs. Nanney is concerned however by
the lack of faculty participation.
"The faculty may feel that it is a
waste of their time to come in and talk
she said. "But when they initiated things
in the past, they didn't go over-such as
the advisory committee they started in
1968 which students did not take an
active interest in until last year
Dr. Lawrence Hough has been on the
advisory committee since 1972. He feels
the coffee room has broken down some
barriers between students and facultv.
"If the department can improve its
communications then it can improve its
program said Hough. "No two faculty
members feel the same way about their
proper role, but I would like to see more
faculty members orticipate and develop
a relationship on an informal basis
The other advisory committee faculty
member is Dr. Oral Parks. He stated the
case for faculty participation more
strongly.
"I would not be happy until every
faculty member came in here regularly
he said. "But there should be some kind
of role playing because it becomes
increasingly difficult to draw a line on
who gets an A and who doesn't when
someone you know is competing with
someone you don't have a rapport with
Parks said he finds it difficult to talk
with students about one subject that is
prevalent in the coffee room chatter-the
competence of professors.
"I don't want to make value
judgments on colleagues he said.
But the common effort of some
students and faculty in the political
science department is leaving few topics
off limits.
Homosexuality and ECU;
the gay viewpoint
By KIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer
Due to the recent articles on homosexuality that have appeared in the
Fountainhead, "Now Hear This" decided to make an opinion survey featuring a few
members of the Gay community to discover just exactly how they feel the majority of
"straight" ECU students think of them.
This survey will be in two parts: next week we will see how the "straight"
students really do feel about homosexuals and the (iay Liberation Movement.
"I think the majority hate us said George Lamb. "A lot of students probably want
to accept homosexuality, but when they get in a crowd, they won't admit that they
accept it. Of course, there are a few "straight" people that really do accept us and the
Gay Liberation Movement. Those that don't, I feel, think of the Movement as a bunch
of bullshit
"They don't accept us said another gay student, Walt. "But I do think they are
coming to a better understanding of the whole idea, mainly because people are
beginning to be more open about it.
"Many gay people are finally being honest enough to admit that they are gay. And
if people are honest enough to admit it, others then think they should accept it
One student blamed the location for the non-acceptance he felt the majority of
"straight" students at ECU hold. "Basically the fact that this is eastern North
Carolina, and the South at that, I think has a lot to do with bias against us.
"However Henry added, "the Gay Liberation Movement is making people aware
that there are persons with different lifestyles from theirs which will in time
contribute greatly to a greater degree of acceptance and understanding, I feel.
"But most people exhibit mixed emotions about homosexuality because, for the
first time, their own value system is being questioned. For years we've been told that
you go with persons of the opposite sex only, especially when it comes to a sexual
relationship. So people say it isn't "normal But what's the definition of "normal?"
Henry spoke of the problem of understanding. "When a person doesn't understand
something, he tends to ridicule what he doesn't understand out of fear. I think this is
what the majority of ECU students are doing.
"And I must add that, in my opinion, when a mass of "straight" guys ridicule
someone because they are, as they put it, "queer they're really just questioning their
own masculinity. Maybe perhaps they have those 'tendencies' and this ridiculing is a
defense mechanism
Another student, Robert, did not hesitate a moment to say, "They think gay
people are sick And he added, "Although homosexuality is becoming a more and
more open topic of discussion, still most people are apprehensive to get to know a
gay person because they think they're sick.
"If 'straight' people would allow themselves to get to know us, they would see that
we're not sick OR berverted
M.F. Bumgamer was just as exact about his feelings. When asked how he felt the
majority of ECU students looked upon homosexuals, he answered, "Queers! Faggots!
But it's really sad that they don't understand we are no different from them, we just
prefer mates of the same sex
For a change of pace, one student, Larry, had quite a different comment to make
from the others. "Most of the 'straight' people I know are pretty cool about the whole
situation. It's no big deal whether you're straight or gay.
"But I couldn't say about the real majority. And I don't care that much about the
Gay Liberation Movement. I can live the kind of life I want, now. I don't feel it's
important to have to say 'I'm gay
"Furthermore, it gay puupie want everyone to accept them, then why are they
trying to put themselves into a separate, special classification?"
Be sure to catch "Now Hear This" next week to see what the "other half" really
does think.

Women's study courses offered
uan you identify the following?
Group A: Margaret Atwood, Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, Isabelle Archer, Tillie
Olsen, Virginia Woolf, May Sarton, Mary
McCarthy, Willa Cather, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Kate Chopin, Sylvia
Plath.
Group B: James Joyce, F. Scott
Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Norman
Mailer, Ken Kesey, Kurt Vonnegut,
Graham Greene, Joseph Conrad.
If you're an average person, you knew
almost everybody in Group B and almost
nobody in Group A. Both groups are
comprised of modern America and British
writers, but most college literature
courses stress those writers in Group B.
That emphasis will change at East
Carolina University in Spring Quarter
1976, when the ECU English Department
will offer two courses by women about
women.
English 394, Contemporary Women
Writers, will be a study of novels and two
films by women writers of the 20th
Century on the subject of women's
experiences.
English 393, Images of Women in
Literature, will examine works by male
and female writers in which a woman is
the dominant figure.
BOTH COURSES WILL BE COUNTED
AS GENERAL COLLEGE LITERATURE
CREDITS.
And both will be offered one night
a week, in an effort "to attract students
and community members who can't
attend daytime classes
So women often get the short end of
the literary stick. Is that the only reason
to teach these courses at ECU?
No, say the two professors who'll be
the courses' instructors, Ms. Marie Farr
and Dr. Sally Brett.
"A course centered upon images of
women in literature says Ms. Farr,
"makes students aware of stereotypes.
We use these stereotypes every day, not
just in literature but also in real life, to
make our judgments. The nagging wife,
the shrew, the mother-in-law, the bitter
old maid-these are images of women
that we confront in the pages of a book
and on the television or film .screen as
well as in our real lives
"Whether or not these images are fair,
or real, or biased is something I hope the
students will come to decide for
themselves. Most of all I just want the
students in this course to become aware
of the stereotypes-what they are and
how we use them, consciously or
unconsciously. A stereotype is made
from a generalization and it can be
helpful. The danger lies in operating
solely on the given image and not on the
real person
Dr. Brett offers a similar rationale for
her course, Contemporary Women
Writers.
"It is generally assumed she noted,
"that the women's movement has brought
women writers to a new frontier, so to
speak. While it is true that women today
are writing about being a woman more
honestly then ever before, it is not true
that women writers have never done this.
"We just have not paid very much
attention to women writers, either in
literature study or in popular culture.
Almost everyone knows who Erica Jonq
is; equally well known are Joan Didion,
Judith Rossner, and Jill Robinson-
because all of these women have written
frankly about women and sexuality.
"But sex isn't the only topic of
interest to women and it certainly has
not been the only subject of women
writers today or yesterday. Edith
Summers Kelley, for example, wrote in
the 1930's about women tenant tobacco
farmers. But no one heeded her realism
as they did Upton Sinclair's-although
she is probably the better writer.
"Women write about themselves as
poets, professors, mothers, housewives
etc. As we become aware that our voices
as playwrights, novelists, and poets are
being heard, we also begin to understand
that our individual situations and feelings
can run counter to what we've been told
we should think and feel. I think modem
woman is becoming aware of more and
more truths about herself and her world
that have long been ignored or denied.
And women's writings reflect this
awareness. The old images just don't do
any longer
"The list of women who have written
about women is a list of women who
have been ignored by the bookseller and
the teacher. This course is designed to
no stuaents or that ignorance. We are
going to read modern writers but we are
also going to read writers from earlier
years, like Charlotte Perkings Gilman,

If all goes well, the instructors hope
to obtain films for their courses from the
State Library. Tentatively scheduled are
Judy Collin's "Antonia and the film
version of Clare Booth Luce's play, "The
Women
Ms. Farr will use one central text,
Images of Women in Literature, as well
as Henry James' novel Portrait of a Lady.
Also included in the 393 course are short
stories and essays on images of women
and the play by Edward Albee, Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Ms. Farr says at present she expects
to require the usual final examination as
well as a short critical paper, quizzes,
and oral report. Dr. Brett plans midterm
and final examinations, quizzes, and a
report on "books and writers we can't
include in required reading Required
readings will include novels by Sylvia
Plath, Virginia Woolf, May Sarton, Grace
Paley, Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood,
Jean Rhys, Tillie Olsen, Mary McCarthy,
and Muriel Spark "All the other works I
would have 'iked to require will be the
reports Dr. Brett said.
?oth women say the reaction from
students has been enthusiastic. They
point out that ECU could do well to
begin emphasizing women's studies
courses, which are by definition
interdisciplinary. "The subject is certainly
appropriate for sociology, history, fine
arts, foreign literature in translation, as
well as for music and sciences
Do Ms. Farr and Dr. Brett see their
courses as "conscious-raising"? "All
literature they answer, "raises

Whiffs
By DEI
WHIFFS
By JIMMY HANES
Staff Writer
The Plaza Cinema's latest movie, "Whiffs is a definite must for comedy relief.
The movie stars Elliot Gould of "M'A'S'H and "SPYS" fame "Whiffs" follows in
the same MASH" tradition of situation comedy.
Jennifer O Neili co-stars as Gould's nurse-girl friend at the military testing base.
Dudley Frapper (Gould) is a human guinea pig used by the army in various
chemical, gas and spray experiments which are hoped to bring a more humane nature
to warfare. The gases are used to make the enemy only a little sick. After 15 years of
service. Frapper is classified as unbalanced in relation to reactions to experiments.
f-rapper meets an oio friend from the experimental labs, an ex-con Chops, (Harry
Guardino) who underwent experiments to hasten his release from prison. The two
form an alliance and launch an episode of robberies using various gases tnat f-rapper
borrows from the Dase.
The highlight of the film comes when Frapper and Chops employ Dusty (Godfrey
Cambridge) to fly over a town and spray a gas that incapacitates everyone who comes
in contact with it. While everyone is jumping and squirming on the ground, Frapper
and Chops rob both banks in the town.
The resulting chase sequence by the army is a hilariously inept bungle that has to
be seen to be believed.
All ends on a happy note with Frapper finally getting an erection from a
combination of nerve gas and the antidote.
Elliot Gould's portrayal of a health degenerate is one of semi-slap stick comedy.
Gould carries the characterization ott with ease, he is very realistic in the role. Gould
and Guardino work well together in this script, a la Gould and Sutherland in
"MASH
Godfrey Cambridge has only one drawback in the movie; there isn't enough of
him. However, while he is on screen his acting is priceless. His off camera voice kept
the crowd laughing witn rnymes, wnne ne ousted the town.
Jennifer O'Neill does an excellent acting job also and without saying is nothing
short of beautiful. She too is very believable in her role.
Eddie Albert offers strong support to the film and provides a few lines of comedy.
As a whole the movie was very entertaining and very fluid with constant
anticipation of the next scene. It is definitely worth the price.
(This movie is currently playing through today at Plaza Cinema.
Eddie Albert plays Frapper's superior on the base, who sees to it that Frapper
receives disability payments
Frapper's payments are for difficulty in breathing, loss of hair and impotence,
among other things. It seems that Frapper can't perform sexually with his beautiful
girlfriend Scottie (Jennifer O'Neill). The desire is there, but the equipment doesn't
function
"o combat this problem. Scottie uses laughing gas to bring forth sexual
r jcmations The only thing it does though is to cause one of the funniest scenes
m i he movie
After Frapper's discharge from the military, finding a suitable job is a problem.
This too is a hilarious mix up of various involuntary, flashback reactions by Frapper
on different jobs

Neil Young's new release, ZUMA,
pears to be another one of those
5ums that is going to be appealing to a
of people and will further qualify the
jsical capabilities of Young. The music
basically verv strong, the lyrics are
je Neil Young profoundities, the
rformance excellent, and the song
ection very tasteful. This album, I feel,
going to be an indicator for the return
ccess of Neil Young's musical
alifications and could possiby provide
eunion with Crosby, Stills and Nash.
The first side of ZUMA begins with a
t entitled "Don't Cry No Tears The
ig has a simple rhythm, few chord
egressions, and standard bass lines. It
reminiscent of earlier Buffalo
iringfield days and starts the first side
with anticipation. "Danger Bird" is the
cond song and the very hard sounds of
il Young's guitar is very evident
roughout the tune. The leads are
iviously dominant, with good separ-
on between the lead and rhythm. The
cals are mixed very loosely and this
seness has become as much a

about Cortez the Conqueror and provides

Young incorporates a comparison in the

88-71
ECUnips Fur man, 72-68
By LENNIE BLACKLEY
Staff Writer
The scene was set at the Greenville
(S.C.) Memorial Auditorium, January 10.
The TVS cameras had long been set in
(Jace and audio wires roamed through
the gym like spider webs.
East Carolina coach Dave Patton was
wandering over and through these same
wires with an intense look of
concentration etched on his face. He
knew this was a must game for both
teams. Patton was aware of the fact that
he had never won at Furman and that
there could only be one winner in the 3
p.m. contest.
That victor proved to the Pirates by a
score of 72-68.
The first half of play was indicative of
two teams playing as though it was a
matter of life and death. From the
opening tip-off, both teams played with
the electricity toexcitethe crowd from the
very first row to the very last.
The initial basket was recorded with
18:14 showing on the scoreboard as
Ronnie Smith connected from 14 feet.
Wade Henkel scored East Carolina's first
pair a minute later to knot the score at
2-2.
A minute and a half later, Ray Miller,
a native of Raleigh, scored the first two
points of an eventual 25 and the Paladins
were back on top 4-2.
Furman then bulged to a 10-4 lead as
Steve Whittingham scored on a jumper,
two free throws and a layup.
At this point, Patton called a strategic
time-out. ECU came off the bench with
new life as Louis Crosby and Wade
Henkel hit on mid-range jumpers to bring
ECU to within two with 14:30 remaining.
The two teams traded baskets for
most of the remainder of the half, with
ECU never letting Furman get ahead by
more than four points. During this span,
Reggie Lee and Larry Hunt did the
damage for the Pirates.
Lee scored a layup with 12:24
remaining and added a second one a
minute later. Hunt connected on a layup,
then a jumper, which tied the score at
20-20. With 8:33 left, Furman took a
time-out.
After this timeout, Earl Garner scored
two consecutive layups while Miller hit a
20-foot jumper from the left of the circle
and teammate Jim Strickland twisted
inside the 1-2-2 Pirate zone for a crip
shot. The score remained tied at 24-24.
ECU and Furman had aspirations of
running, but good defense by both
clubs slowed the pace and kept the score
down. Furman instituted a sticky
man-to-man and went to both boards,
well, collecting 19 caroms with Strickland
grabbing seven.
Coach Patton's use of the 1-2-2 to
outrebound the Paladins worked even
better as the Pirates came up with 22.
Tyron Edwards grabbed nine of these
first-half rebounds to clearly display his
rebounding ability.
With just 27 seconds remaining in the
game, Furman coach Joe Williams
insisted on waiting for the last shot.
Miller swished an 18-footer with four
seconds left. In retaliation, the Pirates
hurled a desperation pass the length of
the court to Garner, who hit the layup at
the buzzer. One official deemed the goal
good while the other believed and
signaled the contrary. After protests by
Patton and his players, the goal was
allowed. ECU still trailed at the half,
though, by 37-32.
The Bucs shot only 36.4 per cent from
the floor for the first half while Furman
managed 44.4 per cent. The main
difference at the half was the foul
CROSBYhis n-for-16 field goal shoot-
ing paced the Pirates on Saturday. He
finished with 22 points.
shooting. The Paladins went eight-for-11
at the charity stripe while ECU didn't
even have the pleasure of one attempt.
ECU controlled the second-half tip-off
after Strickland touched the ball on its
upward flight and Crosby quickly hit for a
basket to cut the lead to three at 37-34.
Furman refused to relieve the pressure as
they retaliated by scoring the next four
points, stretching their lead to seven
points, which turned out to be the largest
lead of the game.
Reggie Lee went to work, hitting on a
hesitation jumper from the baseline and
drawing a foul on the play. He hit his
bonus shot and ECU had pulled to within
two. An Earl Garner layup tied the score
for the first time in the second half at
43-43.
Although Crosby continued the
assault on the Paladin defenders, ECU
could not take the lead until Buzzy
Braman sank a five-foot hook shot with
11:15 remaining. Even that lead was
shortlived as the 6-10 Strickland tapped
in a short miss.
Furman went into a full court press
hoping to rattle the Pirates, but the plan
backfired as the Priate guards had no
trouble penetrating and scoring against
it. The Pirates pushed into a five-point
lead with 3:49 remaining.
See Blakely, page 19.
ECU Cagers Drop 7th
After losing its top two forwards
earlier in the year, Richmond has had to
revert to a bevy of guards to make their
offense go.
Last night the Spiders got the help
they needed from guards Larry Slappy,
Kevin Eastman and Mike Sanford in
shaping an 88-71 victory over East
Carolina.
With Slappy and Eastman hitting from
the outside and Sanford controlling the
lane with his passes to Jeff Butler and
Craig Sullivan, the Spiders broke open a
close contest against the unorganized
Pirates.
Women cagers drop first
to West Chester, 79-74
By JANET HOEPPEL
Assistant Sports Editor
The location was new and so was the
atmosphere. But despite the backing of a
large and boisterous partisan crowd, the
lady Pirates dropped their season opener,
79-74, to West Chester State College in
the team's first basketball game in
Minges Coliseum.
After starting in a zone defense, the
Pirates held West Chester scoreless for
the opening minutes as they took an
early 5-0 lead. But the taller West
Chester team came back quickly to close
the gap with their own tight zone
defense.
With the clock at 14:00, ECU fell
behind 10-8 as their opponents
consistently moved the ball off the
defensive boards with quick breaks to the
basket.
Only the shooting of Debbie Freeman
and Rosie Thompson, combined with free
throw accuracy kept the Pirates in the
game. An ineffectiveness to move the
ball down the court resulted in numerous
turnovers which allowed West Chester to
open up a 40-32 margin with three
minutes left in the half.
The Pirates did not fold, however, and
with a little over one minute remaining,
the Bucs had outscored West Chester
8-2, closing the deficit to 42-40.
At the half, West Chester held a 46-44
advantage as the Pirates failed to get
closer than two points.
The opening minutes of the second
half produced an organized ECU team
that eventually took a 50-48 lead. And at
several points the Pirates owned seven
and six point leads.
But the turnovers which plagued the
Pirates in the first half occurred
again.West Chester took advantage and
with less than six and a half minutes
remaining grabbed the lead once more,
6S64.
For the remainder of the game the
crowd watched a see saw battle, both
teams sharing narrow leads, but neither
able to take full control.
Things changed with 4:44 on the
clock when the Pirates lost Rosie
Thompson to fouls. With her went much
of the Pirates' height on the inside and
rebounding.
ECU had several opportunities to put
the game away in the remaining minutes
but simply did not hit the shots and free
throws it needed most.

Thinclads shine at meet
By STEVE WHEELER
Staff Writer
The East Carolina indoor track and
field team went to Richmond this past
Saturday to compete in the East Coast
Invitationals. The Pirates left the Virginia
city with the respect and envy of almost
everyone there by virtue of some great,
record-breaking performances.
Head Coach Bill Carson came back to
Greenville with nothing but praise for his
team.
"We took 22 boys to the meet, with
just two seniors, and we looked as good
or better overall as any team there the
proud mentor stated, "and we looked a
far cry better than any other team from
North Carolina
Leading the way for the Pirates were
Sam Phillips, Larry Austin, and Carter
Suggs. Phillips ran the most consistent
of his four-year career in the hurdles and
came away with the college and open
division championship in the 60-yard
high hurdles. In doing so, Phillips set a
new meet record for the race. His time of
7.2 in the semi-finals broke the old
record of 7.3.
Coach Carson praised Phillips for his
efforts. "Sam has been runnig hard for
four years, but is just now coming into
his own as a hurdler. He was the most
consistent of his career as he ran 7.3 in
the trials, 7.2 in the semis, and 7.3 in the
finals
Competing in the college and open
division, his mark of 7.2 was faster than
the winner of the feature (invitational) 60
hurdles. The winner of the invitational
had a best of 7.5 for the meet.
One of Phillips' top competitors in the
event was his teammate Marvin Rankins.
Rankins was not quite as strong in this
event as he was earlier in the season. He
had times of 7.3, 7.4, and 7.3 in the East
Coast event. Carson was high on Rankins
for what he did in the finals.
"Marvin was a little overweight
coming back from the holidays and did
not have the speed he had in our first
meet. But in the finals, he was leading
going into the third hurdle, but he hit the
hurdle and lost his balance. When he
regained his balance, he almost caught
up to win
finals, but was only a yard behind
Phillips.
Austin turned in a great performance
in the college and open division 60-yard
dash. In the trials of the event, Austin
turned in a six flat to break the meet
record of 6.1. This performance also
broke the coliseum record of 6.1, a
record that was held by Olympic sprint
champion Valerie Borzov of USSR,
among others.
Austin won the semi-finals in 6.1 and
in the finals, it looked as if another
runner jumped the gun, and Austin was
unable to run him down, though both
were timed in 6.1. Coach Carson had
some comments on this.
"That other runner clearly jumped the
gun. Larry put on a great rally but just
could not catch him. That was my only
complaint about the meet. It was a well
run meet except for that incident
In the invitational 60-yard dash, Carter
Suggs ran 6.1 in the trials, semi-finals,
and finals. In the finals, running against
Steve Riddick, third-ranked sprinter in the
world. Suggs had a slight lead through
40 yards of the event. Riddick came back
to nudge Suggs at the tape. Riddick was
one of only two sprinters to beat Suggs
last year and Suggs came back this year
to show Riddick he was still around.
In the mile relay, the ECU team of
Ben Duckenfield, Charlie Moss, James
Freeman, and Robert Franklin finished
third in the college and open division
event in 3:25.8. Carson expressed
pleasure in the good time by the relay
team.
"We looked great in the relay. I was
surprised we had that good a time this
early in the season with one of our
regulars not running
George Jackson was the only other
Pirate to place In the Invitationals as he
placed fifth in both the long jump and
triple jump. In the long jump, Jackson
leaped 23 feet. 1 inch, while he jumped
48 feet, 8 inches in the triple jump.
The next meet for the Pirates will be
Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Tin Can in
Chapel Hill. The University of North
Carolina and the South Carolina
Gamecocks will provide the competition.

The holiday season is now over.
It is time to turn to the serious business of running the new year.
This writer doesn't wish to take the new year too seriously, though for a number
of reasons
Keep reading.
ECU And The Southern Conference
Question: Who is the Commissioner of the Southern Conference
Question: Why is the Southern Conference considered less than equal to any
other NCAA Division I conference?
Answer: You will never get an answer to the second question by asking the object
of the first one.
About the only polite thing one can do in reference to the Southern Conference is
to ignore it. The commissioner stated on regional television recently that the
conference future looked very promising, and that the conference had had feelers
from Marshall, Western Carolina and UT-Chatanooga about joining the conference.
Congratulations. This should do a great deal to cut travel costs, as both places are
a long ways away from Greenville. This writer considers the acceptance (real or
otherwise) of any of these schools as just another in a long line of travesties which
have marked the conference's history.
When a conference's chief claim to fame is that it gave birth to two new
conferences, both of which have since surpassed the current conferences in all
aspects, a simple "Why?" must be asked. The natural order of growth and progression
has been upset: usually it is the father that remains more well-known than the son
and daughter.
Thank you, Dr. Jenkins, Bill Cain,Board of Trrtees, for recognizing the need for
studying the situation. This Writer feels that you will re?c.K a solution that is both
wise and just. And this writer calls upon the students in the community to support
the committee's decision, whatever it will be.
The Officials
Once again (as if it had ever stopped) the faithful followers of sport have banded
together to express their general disgust at the men who call the games, and not as
announcers, either.
The officiating has been bad at times, granted, but in the case of the NFL
playoffs, the playing has been worse. Moving closer to home, in speaking of the
Southern Conference once again, it is agonizing to watch the officials who work the
games.
Plagued by general inconsistencies, they never seem to get what they are doing
right. Too, with ECU's contemplation of exiting from the SC, all aspects of the
university relationships with the SC is threatened.
In short, the whole mess about the officiating is a treadmill. The officials from the
professional level all the way down to the Southern Conference will never be able to
please e -eryone. This writer wishes they would at least try to conform to the rule
books.
Bill Cain
Bill Cain has provided a wealth of information concerning the future of athletics at
ECU. He has been spotted on numerous television interviews, been heard on the radio
from Raleigh to Greenville and his name has popped up in countless newspaper
articles in the past weeks.
On top of all this, he has taken the time to speak directly to the Student
Government Association, the Women's Residence Council, and will continue to talk to
anyone who is interested in the program, and as he put it, "especially the people

This practice of actually letting students know where the money they pay is
headed has practically fallen by the wayside lately. Bravo, BC.
Baseball Is Back
Where has it been?
At least, not yet, has it been snowed under in litigation. However, with the return
of Bill Veeck, some flavor will be returned to the game.
This summer game fan(atic) will be waitiang the outcome.
The Greenville Sports Club
More kudos should be handed out to the persons responsible for this venture.
General consensus says that the move has been a success and is still growing in
size.
Next quarter, with no mid-day class, this writer should be able to attend. Keep it
up in the meantime, fellas.
In Closing
ECU is heavily involved in the winter sports program, one that has annually
brought two conference championships home to rest.
In future weeks, we will look at these sports and have some interviews with a
number of people in the area who contribute to the sports program at ECU. Also,
there is a very interesting interview planned with a graduate of the ECU program, one
which will be enlightening and informative.
ECU beats West Chester
By NEIL SESSOMS
Staff Writer
The ECU wrestlers shamed West
Chester State 41-3 last Wednesday night
in the Pirates' first home bout this
season.
The Pirates pinned three opponents
while losing only one match the entire
evening. The loss came in the first match
when Wendell Hardy was defeated by
the Ram's Bob Katz 6-1 in the 118 pound
class. Then it was off to the races.
At the 126-pound spot, Paul Ketcham
downed the Ram's Mike Dominguez 13-8.
It was Paul Osman over Dan Bedensen
6-1 at 134 pounds. Tim Gaghan took the
142 pound class from Larry Walthall 12-7.
Tom Marriott upped his record to 11-2 by
downing Jon Barnwell 10-7 in the 150
pound class.
Paul Thorp started off the pins by
flattening the Ram's 158 pounder Don
Myer with a minute and 20 seconds left
in the second period. Phil Mueller
followed suit by nailing John ALemni in
one minute in the 167 pound calss. A
forfeit by West Chester in the 177 pound
class uppped Ron Whitcomb's record to
19-1-0.
At 190 pounds, Mike Radford
demolished Frank Rodgers 23-6. Fresh-
man D.T. Joyner capped off the evening
pinning Tom Stoddard 40 seconds into
the third period in the heavyweight filum.
Justifiably, coach John Welborn
seemed pleased with his team.
"We wrestled well. We've got to get in

Freshman diver Lund Sox turned in
his best performances of his career in the
one-and three-meter diving events. In the
one-meter diving, his 196.15 bettered his
previous best by 45 points. His 171.95 in
the three-meter was some 21 points

high on Sox. "Lund really gained some

Continued from page 16.
Again the lead proved to be a short
one, as the Paladins managed to
recapture a tie at 66-66 with 1:49
remaining. A final ECU time out was
called at 1:09 after the Pirates had taken
a 69-68 lead on a free throw by Garner.
Shortly later, Garner found himself at
the lane again with a chance to build
ECU'S lead to three points. He made the
first shot, but missed the second, as
Strickland rebounded the shot.
Moving down the court, the Paladins
desperately tried to penetrate the Buc
zone for the shot that would send the
game into overtime. John Cottingham
eventually missed a contested ten-foot
try and Larry Hunt rebounded. With two
seconds left, Lee was fouled and hit both
ends of a one-and-one to ice the win for
Patton's troops. It was a thrilling come
frombehind victory.
The Pirates used their entire bench
against the Paladins, while posting a
42.1 field goal average and an 80 per cent
free throw average.
In his post-game comments, coach
Patton had lost that intense look that had
been on his face prior to the game. It had
been replaced by an extreme look of
pride and contentment.
"Both teams had chances to quit
said Patton, "But neither team did. We
made fewer mist&es than they did when
things got toughit was a great game
Patton lauded the team effort of his
club the most. It was a team effort where
every player played at least five minutes.
"Our guys gave 100 per cent every
second of the contest. I am extremely
proud and happy for all of them
With this, Coach Patton began
scanning the statistics, searching maybe
for something that will bring ECU ;
