SGA Budget total is $100,000
j ii,i oiiAawc rrrrcri Thp prror came about
A budget report compiled Wednesday
by Student Government Association
Treasurer Larry Chesson sets the current
treasury surplus at $10,304.09.
This figure seems to indicate that the
treasury report made to the SGA
Legislature in December set the surplus
$95,000 less than the actual amount.
Chesson told the SGA legislature ai
the Dec. 8 session that in the course of
presenting the revised budget he had
discovered an error of nearly $100,000 in
the surplus figure.
Chesson said the SGA financial
advisor, Dr. Jack Thornton, and the ECU
Internal auditor, Robert Edwards, both
agreed that an error had been made in
calculating the surplus figure.
In an investigation by the SGA
Appropriations Committee which follo-
wed the December report, the committee
cited a "lack of effort by the treasurer to
consult advisers who might have found
the error and found "the figures
released by the SGA Office before,
during, and after the budget error were
always correct. The error came about
when those correct figures she (Secretary
of the Student Fund Accounting Office)
gave out were confused and added
incorrectly
In the course of compiling the most
recent budget report Chesson said the
figures indicated the SGA budget to be
several thousand dollars in the red.
Chesson and Dr. Thornton determined
that the original error was in the
December report and not earlier and that
the current surplus was over $100,000.
That error was evidently caused by
subtracting total appropriations from
total revenues, including anticipated
receipts, for the 1975-76 year without
taking into account that portions of many
appropriations had already been made,
according to Chesson.
When asked why the Appropriations
Committee did not discover the error
during its investigation, Chairman Craig
Hales said, "it is not the job of the
committee to audit the books
SGA Report censors Treasurer
Editor's Note: The following conclusions
and recommendations were made by the
Appropriations Committee concerning the
SGA budget error of December 8, 1975.
The SGA voted last Monday to accept the
report.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The error made was simple, and easy
to make, but could have been caught
sooner if more diligence had been shown
and if he had used his advisers more
often.
2. While the major error was made by the
Treasurer and he has admitted his fault,
the financial adviser should also have
shown more responsibility in his duties.
3. There is nothing wrong with the
system of accounting presently used.
The problem was one of human origin.
With the financial adviser, the auditor
and the bookkeeping system now used, a
Treasurer could complete his job with no
major stumbling blocks.
4. As cited above, the system is not at
fault. The possibility of human error is
present, however, and certain con-
clusions can be reached. One point
which can be rendered from the facts of
this case is that a new way to select a
Treasurer should be found to better
insure economic and bookkeeping
qualifications.
5. The fact that the SGA Legislature
acted on wrong information for so long,
with such bad results, shows a need for
the Legislative and Executive branches to
work more closely together in the future.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The SGA Treasurer's position should,
in the future, be chosen in some way
other than the present system, preferably
with a strict screening process.
2. Larry Chesson, the SGA Treasurer,
should be officially censored by the
legislature for the major budget error.
3. The current Treasurer should work
much more closely with the Legislature's
Appropriation Committee for the remain-
der of his term of office.
4. The Treasurer's office, in coordination
with the Appropriations Committee,
should issue a detailed monthly report,
as well as "fly sheets" every two weeks,
for the remainder of his term of office.
5. The Treasurer should work more
closely with those technical advisers at
his disposal, namely Dr. Thornton and
Mr. Edwards.

Phone hike hurts blind
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
"Directory assistance rates going up,
that's crazy exclaimed blind ECU
student James Burke when he heard of
the new charge for directory assistance
calls.
"All I could think is 'this is crazy It
is one of only a few ways I have of
looking up numbers
"Sure friends and even strangers are
around sometimes to help look up
numbers said Linda Butler who is also
blind. "But these are times when
directory assistance is almost a
necessity
With the help of friends, strangers,
and memorization, Linda says she thinks
five calls a month may be sufficient
However, Lou Mendenhall, a blind
ECU grad student, said she thinks five
directory assistance calls are not nearly
enough for blind people who are not
students.
"I'm really not affected by the charge
now she explained. "But, I think blind
people who live alone, and blind people
who work are adversely affected by it
now.
"Consequently, when I get a job, then
I will also be affected by the charge
Fortunately for Linda, Lou, James and
other blind students, the North Carolina
Utilities Commission recently ordered
that blind people and some handicapped
people be exempt from the directory
assistance charge.
"We originally asked for an exemption
for blind and handicapped people said
Frank Havens a district traffic manager
for the local Carolina Telephone and
Telegraph Company. "The Utilities
Commission, abiding by the letter of the
law, said we could not do anything for
the blind and the handicapped.
"But, Thursday (January 8), the
Commission changed its mind and
ordered that the phone companies
exempt blind and handicapped persons
from the directory assistance charge
The decision probably went unnoticed
by most of the campus community, but
blind students, James, Linda Butler, and
Lou Mendenhall did more than notice the
decision, they welcomed the telephone
back into their daily lives.
"I was glad when I heard the new
decision said Lou. "It was just what I
wanted
It was just what Carolina Telephone
and Telegraph and Southern Bell
Telephone companies wanted also, but it
took them about a month to get the
favorable ruling from the Utilities
Commssion.
"The Commission did not give a short
and sweet reason for making the
exemptions said Charles Land, oper-
ations engineer at the Utilities
Commission in Raleigh. "They just stated
that charges shall not be made applicable
to those people who are blind or
handicapped
"I think the Commission was satisfied
with the original order because it was the
letter of the law said Frank Havens. "In
its new decision, the Commission is not
going by the letter of the law, but by the
spirit of the law. The directory assistance
charge is not to gain revenue but to cut
down on unnecessary work
But, regardless of the Commission's
reason for changing its order, blind and
handicapped students are not further
handicapped by the phone company's
attempt to provide everyone better and
more economical service.
"It's good if they can do it said
Burke.
Indeed the phone companies can do
it, according to Havens. To be eligible for
an exemption, a blind or handicapped
person must contact the business office,
fill out an application and submit a
certification of blindness.
When calling directory assistance, the
exempted person will be treated the same
as others. But when the telephone bills
are made out (in Tarboro), all
directory assistance calls made from his
phone will not be charged.

EcBtorialSCommentary
I Forum rules defended
A letter in today's Forum questions new rules established
recently for etters to the paper. Others have also raised
questions about new policies which require letter writers to have
both name and address printed on letters appearing in the
paper.
While we don't usually believe it is good newspaper policy to
respond to letters in the Forum, a few comments of explanation
may be appropriate.
A new Forum policy was established only after students had
taken advantage of past Forum policies which required
practically no proof of identity of letter writers.
In reality the paper is sitting on a proverbial time bomb only
waiting for someone to slip in a letter dealing with a
controversial subject bearing a fake name, or worse yet, a very
real name that belongs to someone else.
Just such an event happened in the last paper before
Christmas break. The letter was controversial enough dealing
with homosexuality and it also bore a forged name.
Legally the paper was over a barrel, but the ECU student
whose name was forged did not press the point. We got off
easy this time but next time the paper might not be so lucky.
The newspaper is liable for anything printed in the paper so
we must exercise some control over not what is printed but that
in the case of the Forum proper identity is given to all letter
writers.
To try and insure that another case of forgery does not occur
we have started requesting writers to include addresses along
with names. Through the address we can verify signatures on
controversial letters.
The new policy is not designed to stifle the free expression
of opinion by ECU students. Nor, do we believe the policy is
against the best interest of the majority of ECU students.
The new policy is only aimed at protecting both the paper by
giving us a means of verifying the authenticity of a letter and at
the same time to protect students who have similar names, or
students who might be the target of a forged letter.
We have included in the new policy a protection clause for
students who feel that signing their name and address to a
letter would be of dire consequence to them. A student can
make a personal appeal to the paper to have their name and
address withheld.
Again, the new guidelines are not meant to stop letters to
the paper. In fact, we hope that more students will let us know
how they feel through a letter.
But, to protect ourselves and we think the students we serve,
we must adhere to some stricter Forum rules.
This is not something we want to do. In fact, we realize that
we may not get some letters now that perhaps before, without
the address clause, we would have received. But, the paper was
forced into this new policy.
"Were it left to me to deckle whether we should have a government without
newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter

Pub Board independence
Efforts by the Publications Board to seek financial
independence from the Student Government Association is long
overdue on campus.
At least this year a Pub Board with enough interest and
energy has decided to take the faithful plunge and look into the
possibilities of the campus publications going the same route
as the Student Union and breaking away from the SGA. The
Union made the move several years ago and hopefully the Pub
Board can pull off the same trick in the not too distant future.
At the present time campus publications are funded by the
SGA with student activity fees. The Pub Board would like to
have student fees passed directly to them each year instead of
going to the SGA first. Under such a plan the Pub Board would
be guaranteed a certain fee per student each quarter and from
that tally the Pub Board would allocate funds to the various
publications.
An independent Pub Board would not be left to the whims of
the SGA or its executive. Independence would give campus
publications a better chance of planning budgets and projects
over long periods of time as opposed to the present operation
which calls for publications to come hat in hand to the SGA for
money.
But, more than anything else, independence from the SGA
would give campus publications a chance to operate
independent of outside pressure which is a form of censorship
when you get down to it. Having to play political "footsie" with
the SGA is not the most conducive thing to independent
reporting.
It will no doubt be a tough fight to break from the SGA But
hopefully one that the Pub Board will win. An independent'
Pub Board would be without a doubt, the best step to improve
operations of campus publications.

Writer dislikes new Forum guidelines
To Fountainhead:
A brief digression, this time upon the
uniquely human knack for blundering
about on public stage. Mr. Taylor's
schoolmarmish quip about "the new
standards" of the Forum policy which
appeared there in the 8 January issue has
served to remind me that student editors
are journalistic apparitions which have
more in common with frightened
autocrats than with the defenders of free
speech and the unrestricted exchange of
opinion.
Moreover, I cannot help but think (if
such is allowed under Forum policy) that
these newly installed silencers tagged on
to the Forum policy are not in the best
interest of the majority of people who
attend this university.
Requiring submissions to be accom-
panied by an individual's name as well as
his address should not be tolerated by
those of us who consider the public .
forum for debate to be the very epitome
of democracy. To strangle that flow of
discourse with exaggerated and extreme
restraints such as those imposed recently
Union boss seeks
female applicants
To Fountainhead:
OK, Ladies! It's time to wake up to
the fact that we need to start assuming
more responsibility for the way things are
run on this campus. Our place is not, I
repeat, not, in the dorm room.
Although there are obvious obstacles
hindering progress to certain high
positions on this campus we need not be
complacent about it.
Right now there is a golden
opportunity for some ambitious, hard-
working, interested woman to step into
one of the top positions at ECU-that of
Student Union President.
The only requirements are abililty to
work well with people, to organize and
maintain a large staff, to assume a large
responsibility, and be sincerely dedicated
to promoting the best interests of the
students in entertainment.
If you like to spend money-your
name would go on over 14 million
dollars worth in a year. If you like
socializing and travel-those are some
fringe benefits. If you enjoy entertain-
ment of all sorts from soap box derbies
to theater productions to pop concerts-
you would be in a position to encourage
them and see that the show does go on.
If you thrive on responsibility and hard
work-well-this job has plenty of that
too, but it is never routine nor dull.
The Student Union President is
SELECTED by the Union Board of
Directors on qualifications not age, sex,
campaign ability, etc.
If you are a woman of worth this is
your chance to prove it and take over the
leadership of a fast growing organization
which is a model of envy to most
schools across the entire country. Yes,
the Union here is unique and quite
admired and respected across the
country.
Madame President of the future I
salute you for stepping out and assuming
such an important role.
To date there are only a few male
applicants. So examine your qualities as
a woman of leadership and give those
men a tough run for the money. You owe
it to yourself as a woman and to the too
long male dominated students at ECU.

become evident when one considers that

writer increases that writer's chance of

All Letters to the Editor must have the
following information or they will not be
printed: the writer's name. ID number,
and local address. All of this information
will then be printed at the end of each
letter.
Fountainhead will, upon personal
request from a letter writer, withhold a
name from publication for good reason.
But, the name of the letter writer will be
on file in the Editor's office and will be
available upon request to any student. All
requests for withholding a name must be
made in person to the Editor.
Any letters received without this
information will be held until the letter
writer complies with the new policy.
Fountainhead invites the students,
faculty and staff of ECU to present their
opinions and beliefs in the Forum. And
we have a practically no holes barred
attitude about what is presented in this
section.
But, we do ask one thing. Please, if
you have something to say in our paper,
sign your name and not someone else's.
cautious when one senses danger.
Of course, Mr. Taylor must have a
comfortably fat sack of justifications for
such an outlandish Forum policy, so
reminiscent of the Berlin papers of 1934,
not the least of which is sure to be the
old cliche: "Honesty and a true heart
never need a hiding place Unfortunately
for Mr. Taylor, such jusitifcations are off
the point. There is an occasional
madman among us and, under no
conditions that I can conjure up,
excepting Utopias and the like, should an
individual be required to sacrifice his
privacy and perhaps his safety in order to
speak freely.
Yet, I am fully aware that
Fountainhead risks the possibility of a
law suit on charges of libel. For this
reason, it is sensible and prudent to
require signatures accompanying letters
to the Forum. Honest and true-hearted
writers should not be afraid to be
identified with their opinions. But I am
also aware that the American Newspaper
is still very much a sacred cow in the
Democratic Ideal and practically immune,
except in extreme instances, to legal
jeopardy.
Still, there are indications that Mr.
Taylor is not a completely ridiculous
man. In a final gesture of ironic-blind-
ness, Mr. Taylor, the editor in steel
shorts, failed to suppy us with his
address. Tsk, Tsk, Mr. Taylor, this is the

To Fountainhead:
I was rather chagrined to find out that
the letter on homosexuality was written
by someone who did not se his own
name. Why did this person use a false
name on such a thoughtfully written
letter? Was it because he was playing a
"game was he ashamed to admit
publically under his own name that he
was a homosexual, or was there some
other reason?
For whatever reason or reasons, the
deed was done. But, that does not
negate the comments and thoughts

Before Christmas, I had written a

Over population threatens wildlife CLASSIFIED
jl
By JACK LAIL
World over population is a major
threat to wildlife, said two ECU
biologists in a recent interview.
"World population increases create
increased demand for food said Dr.
Donald B. Jeffereys. "This makes it
economically profitable to develop areas
that were at one time not profitable. This
has created tremendous pressure for
wilderness areas
Dr. Vincent J. Bell is and Dr. Jeffereys
attended a symposium on the Endanger-
ed and Threatened Biota of North
Carolina Nov. 7 and 8 at Meredith
College in Raleigh. The symposium was
sponsored by the North Carolina State
Museum of Natural History.
"There are two direct applications of
the symposium said Dr. Bellis. "One is
to develop an endangered species list for
N.C. legislators to use in formulating a
bill to protect endangered species. The
other is to use the list for federal
environmental impact statements.
"One of the major questions of the
symposium was to define what is an
endangered species said Bellis. "Is it a
species only endangered in Pitt County,
in N.C. or worldwide?"
"There are a few species of plants in
the mountains that are found only in
N.C said Dr. Jeffereys. "Most animals
that are endangered in N.C. are found
eisewnere.
"North Carolina is about the only area
where the Venus Flytrap is found. There
may be some in S.C. Many are collected
in violation of the law. There are
enforcement problems in proving where
the plants were collected.
"Better regulation is needed. The
Venus Flytrap is not in danger now, but
could be, if regulations are not
enforced
"One of the major problems of
biologists is to justify the saving of a
species said Dr. Bellis.
"These questions of importance and
preservation of a species will have to be
solved in the next few years
"Large areas of swamp-lands and
forests are being cleared in eastern N.C.
for food production said Dr. Jeffereys.
"We cannot know what potential
benefit an organism has if it becomes
extinct and is gone forever.
"The aesthetic value is another
reason, the world is poorer for the loss.
The aesthetic value of a species should
be considered in an overall preservation

N. C. Women's Political Caucus set for ECU
The fifth annual convention of the
N.C. Women's Political Caucus has been
set for ECU Jan. 23-24.
Convention activities begin with a
fund-raising wine and cheese party at the
home of ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins
Friday, Jan. 23, from 8 to 10 p.m.
Special guests at the party will be North
Carolina women who hold elective office
at the local and statewide levels.
Saturday's workshop and business
sessions will be held in ECU'S McGinnis
Auditorium. Registration will begin at 8
a.m. and continue until 11 a.m. in the
auditorium lobby.
The convention formally begins with
the opening session at 9 a.m which will
be directed by Danya Yon of Charlotte,
NCWPC president. Members and guests
will be welcomed by Mildred McGrath,
r-reenville Mayor Pro Tern.
Advisory board members will be
introduced by NCWPC Treasurer Pat
Wingler of Greensboro.
Five concurrent workshops have been
scheduled for the morning session:
"The Smoke-Filled Room" (delegate
selection), directed by Ms. Yon and Jane
Patterson, chair of the Guilford County
Democratic Party.
"Hat in the Ring (campaign
techniques), directed by Mary hopper,
public relations director of the
Mecklenburg County Library and several
women officeholders;
"Passing the Buck" (state and local
level caucus financing), directed by
Shirley Marshall, Chapel Hill Mayor Pro
Tern;
"Uppity Women Unite (commissions
on the status of women), directed by
Betty Barber, executive director of the
N.C. Commission on the Education and
Employment of Women; and
"Getting Credit for Your Cents"
(women and finance), directed by Susan
Long, assistant professor in the ECU
School of Business.
Following the workshops, special
quests will be introduced by Grace
Rohrer, secretary of the N.C. Department

A report from the National Women's
Political Caucus will be given by Audrey
Rowe Colom of Washington, D.C chair
of the national caucus.
Martha McKay, organizer of the state
caucus, will direct a business session,
which will include reports from
convention and standing committees and
the election of new officers.
Hie NCWPC convention is being

Gay Alliance becomes public organization
By JAMES PERRY
and
LARRY SLAUGHTER
This is the second in a series of
articles concerning homosexuality in the
Greenville area.
On January 6, 1976, the Eastern Gay
Alliance officially became a public
organization and has commenced its
campaign to win recognition of gay
people's rights. Its services will be
available for the Greenville community
and the eastern region of North Carolina.
An Analysis
The genesis of the EGA began in
September, 1975, when several indivi-
duals combined their energies to unite
those who are concerned about gay
rights into a cohesive effort. That effort
has materialized into an organization
composed of dedicated individuals who
are working to elevate eastern North
Carolina's consciousness of its own gay
community.
The exact purpose of the EGA is
three-fold. The objectives declare
assistance in the identification and
solving of problems created by anti-gay
prejudice, create specific strategies for
achieving progress in the recognition of
gay rights, and encourage gay people to
express their true personality and
sexuality honestly but not to flaunt
themselves in a deliberate or antagonistic
manner.
"We are not asking anybody to give
us rights says Bob Mariner, EGA
Coordinator, "theseare our rights. What
we are asking for is recognition that
these are our rights
Mariner, together with Kirby Smith as
Secretary and Judi Willis as Treasurer,
maintain EGA headquarters at 1107
Evans Street. At this residence members
of the EGA congregate each Sunday
night to hold business meetings and to
plan mature strategies to achieve their
purposes. The Media Committee fre-
quently offers those who attend
educational material concerning homo-
sexuality.
The meetings strive to communicate
to its members not only issues and
information coneming the Greenville area
but related events that are happening

throughout the nation. "I think that an
important function of the EGA is to
acquaint Greenville gays with things that
are going on elsewhere Mariner added.
"The EGA strives to increase a (positive)
sense of the gay community not just
among those gays who happen to live in
this area, but with gays who are working
for the common cause wherever they
are
To distribute information about its
progress and activities in the gay
community, the EGA publishes and
circulates the EGA Newsletter. This
monthly release, which displays the
Lambda sign (or gay symbol) on its logo,
highlights current gay related events on a
local, state, and national scale, includes
book and film reviews, publicizes the
EGA monthly calendar of events and
advises EGA affiliates on rights,
iand recognition procedures.
The newsletter was especially
instrumental in recruiting response and
protest to the Federal Communications
Commission that involved a Greenville
radio station (WGNL). The EGA became
alarmed when it discovered that anti-gay
bigotry had been perpetrated on that
radio station. A certain disc jocky had
interrupted a record to interject that "if
you're gay, you're sick This verbal
contempt was monitored by several gay
persons who reported the event to the
EGA. Irritated and upset individuals
phoned the station protesting the
incident-but to no avail. The EGA
Newsletter then began a letter writing
campaign to the FCC and state
congressmen. This action eventually led
to the removal of that DJ from the
station's staff.
The EGA has acquired a telephone
which they hope will be used by persons
who desire information or advice. The
EGA telephone number is 758-2338. "We
hope we will receive calls from gays
when they're in trouble says Smith.

who believes that the EGA will play an
important role in the facilitation of a
healthy gay psychology. Smith made it
explicit that "if we did get a call that we
could not handle, that exceeded our
limitations, we would immediately refer
that person to a more qualified service
Although the EGA phone will not serve
the purpose of a counseling line,
Greenville's crisis intervention center,
REAL, has incorporated the EGA in its
lists of referral services. "It helps a gay
person to have a number that he can call
where he can get an empathetic response
from another gay, particularly if he is
troubled Smith added.
Bob Mariner stated that the use of the
term 'gay' in the organization's title
denotes the EGA's politically activist
nature. "The EGA is not solely for gay
people. Instead, it is for anyone
concerned with gay's rights and the cause
of human liberation. Although we
encourage an honest expression of gay
sexuality, we do not dictate the sexual
preferences of our members. We have
members who do not consider
themselves gay
In seeking to accomplish its objective
of abolishing anti-gay bigotry, the
activist EGA also plays an integral role in
the vast network of gay activist groups
that span our nation. Gay political
activism is alive and well. Persons well
versed in the chronology of the gay
liberation movement recall with dignity
that humid June night in 1969 when New
York City Police raided the Stonewall, a
gay bar on Christopher Street. Although
the police were expecting passive
resistance, the foray was surprisingly
overthrown by the huge number of irate
gays. For the first time gays fought back
and the three days of marches, protests
and demonstrations that ensued spread
gay pride throughout the country.
Thus, 'Gay Liberation' has become the
battle cry. The fight is not in the streets,
however, but in the courtrooms and
legislatures of our nation. Politicians in
many areas actively seek the vote of the
gay community; in San Francisco they
must consider the gay vote; police anc
gay leaders estimate that 100,000 of the
total 715,000 residents are gay. And if it
seems that it will require gay people to
pass gay legislation, the trend may be on
the way. In 1974, Elaine Noble, a known
Lesbian, was elected to the Massachu-
setts Legislature.
To date there are approximately 20
cities, including Washington and San
Francisco that have adopted gay rights
laws. Chapel Hill, N.C. recently gained
notoriety when the city added a clause
that would respect "affectional preference
or marital status" to its list of
anti-discrimination provisions being pla-
ced in the town's personnel ordinance.
Eleven states have removed penalties
aginst homosexuals from their codes.
Still, the civil rights issue is under
heated contention. Seven states have had
bills introduced that would legally give
civil rights to gays but as yet none have
passed. These bills are important
because of the job discrimination and
ostracism from organizations that still
threaten gay people.
The EGA continues to publicize itself
most effectively via speaking engage-
ments with various groups. They have
encountered favorable response from
several ECU and Pitt Technical Institute
classrooms. Such discussions have
provoked various positions on the issue
of homosexuality-its social, moral and
religious implications.
EGA officials have urged persons with
an appetitie for such information to seek
out the literature available at their
headquarters or with the Pitt County

Would you believe
Cupid
invades
Mole Hill
By PAT COYLE
Features Editor
Would you believe I got a letter from my long lost first roommate Ina Mae Cute,
from Mole Hill, N.C. Ina Mae attended ECU for 17 days before deciding that a career
as a beautician was more up her alley.
In the interim I have heard from Ina Mae on various occasions: an invitation to her
graduation from beauty school, a letter inviting me down to Mole Hill for the annual
spring crow festival, etc.
The most recent communication from Ina Mae contains what is probably the most
exciting news of her life. It goes as follows:
Dear Pat:
How are things at ECU? Things here in Mole Hill are just fine as a frog's hair split
five ways. .
I have the wonderfullest news! You remember Wilbur Cluck? You know, the dude I
met out at the drive-in, the one with the red Charger with Cragar mags. Well, we're
getting married! He asked me to marry him last week. It was so romantic! We were at
the show watching one of them Kung Few movies, and right as Bruce Lee killed the
masked karate expert, Wilbur turned, and he said, "Are you showing too much to fit
into a wedding dress?" I just cried and cried.
Anyways, I want to ask you if you'll be at the wedding. I picked out the cutest
dresses for the bridesmaids. They're purple dotted swiss at the top and shocking pink
nylon net at the bottom.
Misty Morning and the Foggy Quarter have said they'd play at the wedding and at
the reception at the Dew Drop Inn. I've picked "Stand by your Man" as one of the
songs and Wilbur wants them to play "Convoy but I'm trying to talk him out of it. A
wedding is no place for that long-haired modern rock and roll music.
Anyway, everything else is going real good too. I am entering the State
Association of Beauticians contest. I get to go to Raleigh and do my own creation, a
Bicentennial bouffant shaped like one of them three-cornered soldier hats they used
to wear. They'll even have real live models we'll be working on.
Wilbur don't cotton to the idea that I'll be going all the way to Raleigh without
him I told him to shut up about it, because I want us to have one of them "open
marriages I iead about in "True Romances
Anyway, I guess you're wondering how I find time to write, as busy as I am. Well,
Wilbur didn't show up tonight. I don't know where he is, but he better be working or
something or I'll knock him clear to Siler City.
We have a who nch of mess to do before the wedding. We been looking at
trailer-houses most eve tight.
Them things are gettir. prettier every place we go. Wilbur just fell in love with the
"playboy special" at Gobel's Mobile Mansions.
It's all red and black. The bed is round, and there's mirrors on the bedroom
ceiling Can you imagine? That Wilbur Cluck is really such an animal.
The trailer I want is all blue. It's got everything! You get a whole set of them blue
Melmac plates, not to mention matchina blue plastic iced tea glasses.
The best part is that there's a picture of Blue Boy on one wall in the living room,
and a picture of Pink Girl across from it.
Mama and Daddy are helpin' with my "true-so you know, all the new clothes you
get before your wedding?
We even sent off to Frederick's of Hollywood for one of them black harem girl
suits with the sequin's all over the "personal parts Boy, will Wilbur love that!
Mamas been kinda worried about me being in the family way and all, but I told
her that there aren't too many people in Mole Hill that weren't "premature I think it's
called the new mortality or something like that.
Anyway, you try to see if you can be in my wedding, and let me know real soon,
because I don't have any too much time to waste.
Love,
Ina Mae
Godwin's 'Cinderella
a little magic for everyone
By KIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer
ECU senior, Mick Godwin, will
present the fourth production of his
original musical, "It's Magic, Cinderella
to Greenville audiences in McGinnis
Auditorium, Jan. 16 and 17.
Godwin is a drama major and has
made various attempts at playwriting over
the past years. "It's Magic, Cinderella" is
the first of his plays to be completed and
produced on stage.
The play originated with the Lost
Colony Children's Theater, N.C, this
past summer and has been done at the
Theatre in the Park in Raleigh, N.C. and
the Dungeon Theatre at Huntingdon
College, Montgomery, Alabama.
After all three of the past
productions, "It's Magic, Cinderella" has
received exceptionally good reviews.
When asked to what he attributed the
success of the play, Godwin replied, "It's
fun. It has something for everyone;
Moms and Dads can come with their kids
to see the show and all enjoy it. There's
a certain kind of 'magic' about it, I
guess. It's simple, not overbearing. And
it doesn't require anything from anybody.
"It shows magic only as magic exists
in people themselves, or rather, how
much they can let themselves believe.
The cast has fun with it and that fun
brushes off on the audience
As mentioned before, the play
premiered this past summer at the Lost
Colony Children's Theatre where Godwin
was a member of the Lost Colony cast.
The Colony does a Children's Theatre
production every year as a community
contribution for Manteo.
The director of the Children's Theatre
was writing a play based on the original
"Cinderella according to Godwin. But
after five days of attempting to write it
while in the process of rehearsals, the
director realized that that particular
strategy wasn't going to work.
A friend of Godwin's suggested to the
director that he (Godwin) write the play
for them. "It took me about two or three
days to do it said Godwin "I used the
classic fairy tale as the 'thread' around
which to weave the pure magic of the
theater
So what's a children's show doing at
ECU? "Yes, it is a children's show,
basically, said Godwin. "But when does
anyone 'grow up'? When do we become
so adult that we reject childish humor?
When do we shoot Bambi!
"As a ten year old member of The
Colony cast put it, 'It's good because it
doesn't have any of that old sickening
fairy tale stuff in it You can't fool kids
anymore. They know there's no such
thing as the 'wicked witch of the west
etc. They are exposed to real people and
situations so much. And they'll detect
lying to them in an instant.
"So this show doesn't try to fool
them. It's 'magic' in the way that theatre
itself is 'magic' We just want to have a
good time. And all we ask is that the
audience believe with us for this brief
moment.
The audience is, in a sense, part of
the show. The link between the audience
and the cast is found in a character
called, "Peter Parkington Pumpkin
"Peter Parkington Pumpkin is a
pumpkin first, part of the audience
second, and a member of the cast third
said Godwin. "He more or less
introduces the story, and your belief in
the play hinges on your belief in Peter
Parkington Pumpkin.
"If you allow yourself to believe a
pumpkin has arms and legs and talks,
you can believe a fairy godmother
appears from Miami, and you can believe
rats can tap-dance
The musical score for "It's Magic,
Cinderella" is also original. It was written
this summer by another member of the
Lost Colony cast, Terrence V. Mann.
"The music is marvelous and exciting
said Godwin. "There's that certain touch
of 'magic' about it, too
The production of the play to be done
here this weekend is an all-student
production, including costume, set and
lighting design. Rodney B. Freeze is
doing choreography. Godwin is directing.
The playwrightdirector expressed a
desire to continue writing for the stage.
He is now working on another children's
play but intends to "settle down and do
more serious stuff in the future
As a final note, Mick Godwin added,
"There was no need to re-tell the story of
'Cinderella' everyone already knows it.
But after you've seen "It's Magic,
Cinderella you'll wonder whether you've
really seen the fairy tale at all

CT&T officials defend assistance charge
By KENNY SIMPSON
Staff Writer
If you've called directory assistance
lately, you've probably been greeted with
the shocking information that you will be
paying for such service after Jan. 15,
1976.
Carolina Telephone and Telegraph
Company (CT&T) began announcing its
new policy on Dec. 10. It's provisions
allow each customer five free directory-
assistance calls per billing month, with a
twenty cents charge for each additional
request. This includes calls for local
information and for long-distance
assistance within the home area code.
CT&T officials defend the measure on
several grounds. It is intended to reduce
the heavy volume of calls to directory
assistance, cut operating costs, and shift
the burden of payment for this service to
those who use and abuse it most.
CT&T Greenville District Traffic
Manager, J.F. Havens, Jr said that this
policy was not designed to raise revenue.
"This new system is intended to
reduce the volume of calls we receive, so
little revenue is expected said Havens.
"Less than ten percent of our customers
should be billed
Havens also said the new charaing
policy should induce people to use their
directories correctly. District Commercial
Manager Don A. Collier said CT&T
spends more than $35,000 annually to
print 64,000 directories for Greenville.
The general response so far has not
been favorable, which Havens attributed
to the company's failure to inform the
public about the new policy. CT&T
operators were instructed to record
customer comments. Although some
termed the new measure understandable
in light of present economic conditions,
others called it "outrageous, disgust-
ing and "a rip off
One irate customer declared, "Lots of
people don't like this company because it
is a monopoly and that is the reason for
sabotaging the company and more of it
is going to happen if the company starts
charging for directory assistance
Collier reported that there had been a
threat to picket the Fayetteville office if
the new charge were put into effect.
Public response would probably have
been more favorable but CT&T made
known its impressive volume of statistics
compiled to support the new policy. For
example, figures cited in a circular to
company employees show that, on an
average day in 1974, CT&T operators
handled 54,300 local information calls, 74
percent of which were listed in the public
directory. Eight percent of the customers
were responsible for 51 percent of the
requests and two percent for 27 percent
of the calls. The volume of calls is up 98
percent since 1964, while the number of
customers has increased only 84 percent.
The same circular to employees cited
CT&T researach to determine an
allowance figure that would permit
customers to obtain without charge
listings not in the public directory. These
figures show that 83 percent of the
customers in Fayetteville made five calls
or less per month; in Rocky Mount, 88
percent; in Henderson, 91 percent; and
in Williamston, 96 percent.
No such study was made in Greenville
or any other university town.
The North Carolina Utilities Commis-
sion prompted a study of the practicality
of directory assistance charging while
reviewing CT&Ts request for a rate
increase last summer. The commission's
findings paralleled those of the later
CT&T study.
Charles D. Land, the commission's
telephone engineer, testified before the
hearing that the directory assistance
service charge accounted for 3 cents per
month. Land reported that 50.8 percent
of an intormation calls were made by 9
112 percent of the customers. He said 71
percent of the subscribers made less
than four such calls per month and were
responsible for only 21 percent of the
inquiries to directory assistance. He
recommended an allowance of three free
calls per month.
Land testified that the Cincinnati Bell
Company, which instituted the first such
service charge in March, 1974,
experienced an 82 percent reduction of
directory assistance calls.
The commission concluded at the
hearing that "requests for directory
information are an identifiable cost which
should be borne by those causing the
expense It cited a high number of
unnecessary calls for information and
termed these "a burden on the general
body of telephone rate payers and a
hindrance in keeping basic charges for
service as low as possible
The commission informed CT&T it
could expect a 60 percent reduction in
directory assistance calls, resulting in a
reduction of $564,314 in local expenses,
and $153,345 in revenue produced.
The most common objection among
Greenville subscribers has been that it is
unfair to pay for securing numbers from
directory assistance which are not in the
public directory. Such listings are of
course very numerous in a college town
such as Greenville with a mobile
population. This problem is magnified by
CT&T's practice of publishing its
directories in August, before most
students return.
However, a student directory has now
been compiled by the university Women's
Residence Council (WRC) and the Men's
Residence Council (MRC) at a cost of
$600 to each organization. This was in
the works prior to the telephone
company's announcement of its new
service charge, according to Dean Nancy

Smith, advisor to the WRC.
The directory was compiled from
information cards issued to dorm
students and published in "The
Fountainhead" for day students.
"The dorm response and that of the
faculty and staff were very good, but that
of day students was very poor said
Dean Smith.
So there is a way out for students, at
least for the present. Dean Smith was not
sure that the student directory was
practical as an annual service.
"This is just too big a job for the
university staff said Dean Smith. "If we
do this again, we must have professional
outside help
The problem may be compounded
next fall when students must call
directory assistance to get a new year's
set of phone listings.
"I believe this is the way of the
future said Havens. "In time, all
telephone systems will adopt some sort
of directory charging

SHOW-FILM-RECEPTJON
"THE CONTENT OF WATERCOLOR"
A Multimedia Celebration Inspired By
The Book By Edward Reep
By BRENT FUNDERBURK
More than a year in the making, the
film, "The Content of Watercolor is
ready to be revealed. Inspired by the
watercolors of Edward Reep, a member
of the ECU School of Art faculty, the
Student Union Art Exhibition Committee
has aligned the artist and works with the
filmmakers and film to come together in
this unique celebration.
The images on display represent the
majority of the paintings used in the
preparation of that film, whose title was
drawn from the book, THE CONTENT OF
WATERCOLOR, authored by Mr. Reep
and published in 1968.
In February, 1976, Ed Reep will be
exhibiting 40 of his oils, watercolors, and
drawings in the lower galleries of the
Greenville Art Center. All of the work will
have been selected from his efforts over
the past five years, or his tenure at East
Carolina. The majority of the paintings
mounted here at Mendenhall will be a
part of the forthcoming exhibition at the
Greenville Art Center.
It is unfortunate that there is not
enough space here to list the numerous
one-man shows, awards, and accom-
plishments of the artist, Edward Reep.
Witness here then, in this event, a
precious portion of the great river of
energy that colors Mr. Reep's world.

THE FILM
The film, "The Content of Watercolor,
film does not proclaim a "magic-success
formula" for painting. And most of all the
film is not about a thing it involves the
process: the explorations, investigations,
actions, reactions, and harmonies in the
complex relationship between a human
being, Reep, and his "vehicle" of
expression. The vehicle, watercolor, is
presented here in its "content the
"alive-ness" (or spirit, if you prefer) of
the medium in many of its elaborate
situations. It sings. He sings. The
camera of Rasch and Stindt focuses pn
the heart of the matter.
Music for the film was created by
ECU School of Music faculty member,
Dr. Otto Henry, well known for his
electronic compositions and performing
virtuosity. The musical engineer was
Wade Hobgood, a graduate student in
the Art Department.
Previous to local and national
distribution, the film will premier at 8
p.m on the night of the reception,
Wednesday, January 21, 1976, in
Mendenhall theatre for one showing
only.
A reception to honor the artist,
Edward Reep, filmmakers, Bob Rasch
and Henry Stindt, and music director,
Otto Henry, will be held at 8:30 p.m
Wednesday, January 21, 1976, in the
Gallery on the night of the film premiere
(second floor Mendenhall). Refreshments
will be served and served and served. All
students and faculty and public are
cordially invited.

on Thursday, January 22, 1976 at 8:00
p.m. in the Mendenhall Student Center
Theatre. She will be describing her
experiences with the highlights of
Superman - on and off the screen - with
a question and answer period. The
program will also include an audience
participation period as well as action
packed Superman films.
Noel Neill wanted to be a newspaper
woman ever since she was old enough to
hold a pencil in her hand. Today, Noel is
probably the most famous newspaper gal
in the world. She's Lois Lane, Star
Reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet,
and as every television fan knows, she
has been out-scooping Clark (Superman)
Kent for front page news.
Noel got her newspaper training from
her father, David Neill, News Editor of
the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. She earned
her first money by writing articles for
Women's Wear Daily, a trade publication.
Her newspaper career was short lived.
One summer she was spotted by Bing
Crosby at NBC and he signed her to sing
at the Del Mar Turf Club, which he
owned, in Del Mar, California. After the
season at Del Mar the call from
Hollywood was inevitable. Noel was
signed to a long-term contract by
Paramount Studios and made her
professional screen debut in the movie
"Henry Aldrich for President" with Jimmy
Lydon. Other Paramount releases include
"Submarine Command "Greatest Show
on Earth "Here Come the Waves
"Music Mann "The Big Clock in which
pictures she worked with such movie
greats as Bing Crosby, William
Holden.Ray Milland, Alan Ladd, Charles
Heston, and Betty Hutton. While under
contract to Paramount, she was
loaned-out to do the "High School Hero"
series with Freddie Stewart, June
Preisser and Frankie Darro. This was
followed by the original Superman serial
for theatres.
ECU students will be admitted with
their ID and activity cards, faculty and
staff members admitted with Mendenhall
Student Center Membership card and
public cost is $2.00. Sponsored by the
Student Union Lecture Series Committee.

Talent auditions
Kings Dominion has announced area
auditions for a variety of performing
artists and groups now being sought for
summer work at the Virginia theme park.
Musicians, singers, dancers and tech-
nicians are especially needed to entertain
visitors at the park, located 20 miles
north of Richmond on Interstate 95.
Talent auditions will be held at the
North Carolina School of the Arts in
Winston-Salem on Wednesday, January
21. The "open call" audition, requiring no
advance registration, will be conducted
between 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Kings Productions, the unit responsi-
ble for live shows at Kings Dominion and
two other major theme parks in Ohio and
the Carolinas, has announced that more
than 500 entertainers will be selected
through the audition process. The
"sister" parks are Kings Island in
Cincinnati, Ohio, and Carowinds, on the
North CarolinaSouth Carolina boundary
near Charlotte.
During auditions, Kings Dominion will
be looking for "the most professional
performers and technicians available
according to Jeff Smith, director of live
shows at the family entertainment center
and a member of the auditioning team
now scouting the entire mid-Atlantic
region.
"Another consideration is finding
people who can work the early spring
weekends Smith says. "In live shows,
this is especially important, since
rehearsals and familiarization tours must
be conducted in advance of the park's
opening
A salary range of $115-160 per week
will be paid those selected through
auditions, he adds, and successful
applicants will bt notified by the end of
February. An accompanist will be
available for the three-minute auditions,
with performers expected to provide their
own music.
Vocalists, instrumentalists and pan-
tomime artists are needed for the
numerous solo, small ensemble and
group acts staged throughout Kings
Dominion. Acts ranging from costumed
Hanna-Barbera characters like Yogi Bear
and Scooby Doo, to bluegrass music and
a live porpoise show, will appear in the
park's five different theme areas, along
with mobile groups such as a clown band
and fife-and-drum corps.
Musical variety performers, trained in
both voice and dance, are required for an
elaborate stage production in the park's
$1.6 million theatre.

ECU swims
to third win
of season
RICHMOND, Va?Seven East Caro-
lina swimmers set meet records as the
ECU swim team stroked to a 74-39
victory over Richmond on Monday.
East Carolina took eight first-place
finishes officially, and two with unofficial
swimmers, as the Spiders could win only
the two diving events in the meet.
Top swimmer for the Pirates team
was freshman John Tudor. Tudor won the
200 freestyle with a meet record time of;
48.32 and the 500 freestyle with a time of
4:58.63. In the 500 freestyle, Tudor was
swimming unofficially, so ECU was not
awarded first-place points.
This was also the case with the 400
freestyle relay, where the best ECU team
finished in 3:21.6. In both the 500
freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay,
Richmond placed first because of ECU'S
unofficial participation.
Meet records set by the Pirates were
fashioned by freshman Doug Brindley in
the 1,000 freestyle, Tudor in the 200 and
500 freestyle events, John McCauley in
the 50 freestyle, Stewart Mann in the 200
butterfly, Ross Bohlken in the 100
freestyle and Joe Kushy, another
freshman, in the 200 breaststroke.
Mann's time of 2:02.22 in the 200
butterfly also set a freshman record for
the Pirates.
In nearly every event, ECU placed at
least two swimmers in the top three and
swept the top three places in three
events, although points can only be
awarded to two swimmers per school for
the same event.
ECU opened up an early 37-6 lead
after the 400 medley relay team opened
the rout by shaming the Spiders with a
time of 3:48.6.
ECU then took the top three places in
the next three events to open a 31-3 lead.
Thoma; Palmgren then grabbed a
non-record first-place finish in the 200
Individual Medley, and Steve Ruedlinger
grabbed third, to pull in front, 37-6.
Richmond took the first two spots in
the one-meter diving to pick up eight
points on the Pirates and close to 38-14,
but Mann and Alan Clancy placed
one-two in the 200 butterfly and Bohlken
and McCauley took the top two spots in
the 100 freestyle to build a 54-16 lead.
Richmond managed second place in
the 200 backstroke where Barry McCarthy
was the winner and Palmgren finished
third, and was awarded first-place in the
500 freestyle when the Pirates' Tudor and
Keith Wade swam unofficially. Steve
Ruedlinger placed second officially for
the Pirates.
ECU built on the lead when Kushy
won the breaststroke and Billy Thome
placed second, pushing the lead to
71-26.
Richmond won the three-meter dive
and was unchallanged in the final 400
freestyle relav to pick up 14 points and
close the final tally to 74-39.
The win was the third for the Pirates
in dual meets this season and logged
their record at 3-1. The next Pirate swim
match will be Friday night at 7 p.m. The
opponent s Furman University.

NCAA session opens
today in St Louis
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
The National Collegiate; Athletic
Association (NCAA) will be hardpressed
for time this week when it holds its'
annual convention in St. Louis. On the
agenda for this year's meeting, which
begins Thursday, will be over 300
proposals to be considered and
discussed.
Most important of these issues,
however, will be the questions of a
reclassification among Division One
football schools, the possibility of a
National championship series in football,
and the establishment of grants of tuition
and fees on the basis of need, rather
than athletic ability.
East Carolina University will be very
interested in what the committee decides
in the case of the Division One
reorganization. The ECU Athletic program
is striving to upgrade its' football
program and a reclassification of the
football program in any division other
,han the top division could be
detrimental to the school's growth.
East Carolina's situation is a
complicated one. While ECU would
oppose any plan whereby the Southern
Conference would be excluded from the
"Super conference it at the same time
is approaching a crossroads in its'
program. The NCAA's decision could
have a great effect on the school's
staying in the conference or leaving it.
Last year, the University of Richmond
announced, effective July 1, that it would
no longer affiliate itself with the
Southern Conference.
Under the proposals now being
considered, the more than 300 schools
presently classed in Division One by the
NCAA would be re-classified into two
divisions?Division I and Division l-A.
The schools to be classified in the upper
division would probably consist of
schools from the six or seven major
"power" conferences and 15 or 20 major
independents. It is very doubtful that the
Southern Conference would be included
in this setup.
ECU'S possible withdrawal from the
conference seems to hinge at the present
time on the NCAA's actions. Particularly
of importance to East Carolina is to what
extent the new plans will be carried out,
if at all.
"It's a tough question for us said
ECU Athletic Director Bill Cain. "We want
to be in Division I, but we would
probably not be if the proposal passes
and we remain in the Southern
Conference
For this reason, Cain said the
university is prepared to take the actions
necessary to gain Division One status,
even if it means withdrawing from the
conference.
"We would take whatever actions
necessary to compete in Division One
status. It may be that some criterion may
be established to qualify for Division One
status, say playing a schedule with 50
per cent Division One schools
In the case of the Division One
reclassification, it would only apply to
competition in football.
In a meeting of the Board of Trustees
oh Jan. 7 Cain asked the university to
establish guidelines for him to follow in
terms of what direction the school's
athletic program is to go.
Another major topic being discussed
deals with a proposal for a post-season,
Division I playoff to determine the
national champion. Cain said he was in
favor of this plan, provided it did not
conflict with the already established bowl
games.
The NCAA will also discuss a
proposal to base the awarding of
financial aid on a need basis. This
proposal will be the first on Thursday's
agenda and has been surrounded by
controversy. Cain does not believe this
system will work.
"Aid based solely on the basis of
need will not work. Who will determine
the need? Also, if you have an athlete
whose family donates thousands of
dollars to the school each year, a full
scholarship is looked on as a prestigious
thing. It means a lot to them
The question of squad limits will once
again be brought up at the meeting,
particularly in relation to track teams and
the limit they will have on a traveling
squad. Basketball and football squad
sizes will also be reconsidered.
Cain believes the squad changes will
be returned to an equal limit for both
home and travel schools, but still remain
limited to a certain number of athletes.
However, the major issue affecting
East Carolina will be the Division I and
l-A question. Undoubtedly, ECU admi-
nistrators will be waiting with caution for
whatever policy the NCAA decides to
adopt.

ASU rips
ECU, 50-48
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
BOONE ?East Carolina had a chance
to win here last night against
Appalachian State, but Al Edwards' shot
at the buzzer went astray, giving
Appalachian a 50-48 victory.
It was the second year in a row that
ECU has travelled to Appalachian only to
get upset by a supposedly inferior
Mountaineer team.
In some cases, talent does not always
make the difference and last night the
Pirates allowed ASU to control the tempo
of the game, which seemed to
overbalance any talent advantage which
ECU may have had.
If ECU had better players, its sluggish
attack lacked the so-called "little things"
necessary for a team to win and
there could be no excuse for the
team play last night. The Pirates didn't
make the shots, they passed badly, they
walked, in short they just played lousy
against the lowly Mountaineers, a team
most schools have run off the court this
year.
East Carolina just did't seem to want
to win last night and Appalachian was
lucky enough to catch ECU at its' lowest
point in Dave Patton's tenure as head
coach.
Trailing by as many as nine in the
first half, ECU stumbled back against the
Mountaineers' deliberate style of play to
close to 25-22 at the half.
Patton failed to say a word to his
team at the half and the players
responded about as lethargically in the
final half.
ASU jumped to a 31-24 lead in the
first five minutes of the half, before ECU
fought back to a 31-30 deficit with 13:45
remaining.
hast Carolina even took the lead in
the second half, at 34-33, on a long
jumper by Billy Dineen, and a basket by
Al Edwards expanded that lead to 36-33.
But if the Pirates seemed to show
improvement in that stretch they quickly
fell back to the earlier form, as ASU went
back in front at 37-36.
The two "teams" then seemed to
seesaw for the lead and with 2:08 left in
the game they fell into a 44-44 tie.
ASU hit for the next three points and
it was all over after that, because the
only way East Carolina could get the ball
back was to foul the Mountaineers.
Louis Crosby's fifth foul netted a
47-44 lead for the Mountaineers, but Earl
Garner closed it back to one at 47-46.
Reggie Lee committed two quick
fouls to offset his own basket with 10
seconds left, and Bob Pace sank two free
throws in consecutive one-on-one
situations down the stretch, to put ASU
in front at the end, 50-48.
Pace missed the second half of a
one-on-one with six seconds left, but
Garner lost the ball out of bounds. When
Larry Hunt blocked a shot and Al
Edwards rebounded, it left ECU with four
seconds to score. But they couldn't.
The loss dropped ECU to 6-8 overall
and 4-3 in the conference and
Appalachian built its' record up to 2-3 in
the conference and 4-7 for the year.
It isn't going to get any better for the
Pirates either. On Saturday the seemingly
dead Pirates travel to Williamsburg to
take on the conference leader, William
and Mary.

Super hurdler
Rankins looking to better predictions made by coach
By STEVE WHEELER
Staff Writer
Marvin Rankins came to ECU with a
reputation of being a winner and to this
point he has let no one down. The
freshman hurdler on the track and-field
team has come in to set a new school
record in his very first meet and qualify
for the NCAA Track and Field
Championships.
Coach Bill Carson likens his style to
former Olympic champion and world
record holder Rod Milbum.
"His style is just like Milbum's was,
very low to the hurdle, barely clearinc- it.
It takes great coordination to run with
this style. He is so close to the hurdle
when he is jumping over it, if he makes
one mistake it can slow him to where he
won't win. But he is very good with this
style
Intramurals
Rankins, whose home is in Windsor,
went into his first meet at VMI this year
highly touted. He let no one down as he
turned in a time of 7.2 in the 60-yard
high hurdles to break the existing school
record by 0.2 of a second.
Rankins attributes a lot of his quick
developing to Carson and fellow hurdler
Sam Phillips.
"Coach Carson kind of refined my
style said Rankins, "while Sam gave me
some helpful tips about these college
hurdles (College high hurdles are about
six inches higher than high school
hurdles.)
Rankins seems to have helped
Phillips out some too. Phillips won the
East Coast Invitationals against a strong
field that included Rankins and tied
Rankins school record of 7.2.
Hurdling is not new to Rankins at all.
He started hurdling as a sophomore in
high school at Bertie. Before the year
By Leonard Smith and Diane Knott
The opening day games for Women's Intramural Basketball were postponed for
one day when the lights in Memorial Gym went out with the power failure. The
competition finally got underway on Thursday, January 8. In early competition it was
Clement Fosetts by forfeit over Tyler II; BSU over White I, 42-22; Fletcher over
Greene 28-17; and Alpha Xi Delta beat Alpha Delta Pi, 9-6. The evening competition
found the Cotten Bunnies winning 28-9 over Greene II; the Whatchamacallits by
forfeit over the Jarvis Jaquars; Sigma Sigma Sigma II bowing to Alpha Omicron Pi,
12-3; Chi Omega I outshot Gamma Sigma Sigma 25-17 while the biqqest surprise of
the season may have occurred on opening day as Delta Zeta humiliated Chi Omega
II by the score of 75-2 behind Kathy Myslinski's 30 points.
Ladies' Bowling
There were no Bowling matches actually held last week due to the forfeits by three
of the six competing teams. All three Delta Zeta teams picked up easy victories over
the Day-Do-Bees, Sigma Sigma Sigma II, and Alpha Xi Delta because the latter three
were too inconsiderate, poorly managed, and unsportsmanlike to even show up for
the scheduled matches.
Vickie Loose remains the top player with the best series score, while Susan
Benner dethroned Pam Warren as the high single game scorer with a 179 game score.
Men's and Women's Entry Deadlines

m
was over he was giving state champion
Jack Freeman of Northern Nash all he
wanted. Rankins showed at this time he
was going to be very tough.
His junior year in high school saw
Rankins finish second in the state meet
in both high and low hurdles to Tony
Buelher of Charlotte.
Rankins became an Ail-American
hurdler his senior year in high school.
His times of 13.6 in the 120-yard high
hurdles and 18.2 in the low hurdles are
among the best ever recorded by a
scholastic hurdler ever.
What is ahead for Rankins? Well,
Coach Carson believes Rankins can place
high in the NCAA Championships
indoors as well as outdoors. Looking into
the future, he said.
"Marvin has a great future. He should
place in the nationals, maybe even win it.
I think he will run a 7.0 or 7.1 indoors
this season
Rankins thinks he can outdo what the
coach has predicted for him.
"I think I can run a 6.9 this season. I
am not in top shape yet, and when I
get there, I should run very fast
Rankins is a highly confident
freshman with a couple of good meets
under his belt and should live up to his
potential. Just how far can he go? The
sky is the limit.

Monday's game
Spider web catches inconsistent ECU roundballers
By
JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
RICHMOND, VaEast Carolina's bas-
ketball Pirates hit another valley in their
up-and-down season Monday when they
dropped an 88-71 decision to the
Richmond Spiders.
The Pirates, coming off an exciting
72-68 win over Furman, were blown away
in the second half bv the torrid inside
play of the Spiders. The Spiders shot 62.5
pei cent mthe second half, most of the
goals coming from within ten feet, to
blow open a tight game in which ECU
had trailed by only three at the half,
36-33.
Substituting freely to get fresh blood
in the game, Richmond coach Carl Slone
ran the Pirates to death in the
second-half with a well designed game
plan which moved the ball inside the
Pirates' zone for easy buckets.
ECU had trailed most of the first half,
but cut the lead to 36-33 before
Richmond went into the four comers
offense for the final three and a half
minutes of the half. The Spiders were
unsuccessful on an outside jumper at the
gun, but they had stopped the ECU
momentum.
Richmond totally destroyed any
momentum the Greenville team may have
carried into the second half by
outscoring the visitors 10-0 over a
two-minute stretch to break a 37-37 lead
and go ahead 47-37.
The Pirates whittled the lead down to
seven points on three occasions, the last
at 53-46 with 13:14 left in the game, but
Richmond eventually pulled away from
the Pirates with an 11-2 stretch later in
the half.
That stretch established a 16-point
Spider lead and the lead stayed between
12 and 19 the rest of the way.
After the game, ECU coach Patton
was a picture of despair as he related to
what may have happened to his Pirate
team.
"There are some things that you must
do to win said Patton. "Until you do
these things every night, you are going

to have this type of a night.
Patton noted the Spiders' outstanding
shooting in the game, but he also added
that the ECU defense probably had a lot
to do with that.
"There are two ends to the court and
all the teams we've played have shot the
eyes out of the basket. Why? We are
playing lousy defense
Defense was the key word Monday, or
rather a lack of it, as ECU offered no
resistance to the Spiders' four corners,
driving lavuDS or fast breaks.
Jeff Butler finished as high scorer for
Richmond with 20 points. Larry Slappy
added 16, Craig Sullivan, 14, and Mike
Morton scored 10 points. Morton also
finished as the high rebounder for
Richmond with eight.
East Carolina's scoring was led by
Reggie Lee with 25. Behind Lee, only
Wade Henkel, 12 points, and Earl Garner,
11 points, scored in double figures. Larry
Hunt led all rebounders with nine.

COURAGE PERSONIFIED
Though there is no consolation in losing, John Welbom's wrestling team put on
quite a show Monday night in Minges Coliseum while dropping an 18-13 decision to
the Athletes in Action.
The Pirates were especially strong in the mid to upper weight classes. The
excitement of the whole match was climaxed in D.T. Joyner's narrow loss in the final
match.
Joyner is a freshman, which should spell trouble for Southern Conference mat
opponents in the next three and one-half years. He wrestled a tremendous opponent
in the Athlete, as they all are. Look for him to be a good one in the future.
THE MARCH CONTINUES
This writer wonders how long it will be now until cries of "Break up the Pirates"
are heard in conference swimming circles. Coach Ray Scharf's crew blasted
Richmond, 74-39, Monday afternoon in Richmond.
Scharf has built a dynasty of sorts which has yet to be equalled in East Carc'ina
University athletics in terms of championships won.
Richmond supposedly would have given ECU its toughest conference test of the
season. If that was indeed the case, then Friday's meet with Furman should be a
laugh. The Pirates will then host a tough Maryland team Sunday afternoon at 1
p.m.
Swimming, for the physical endurance, is probably the toughest sport going, but
at the same time is one of the least recognized in the area.
THE LADY PIRATES
Excitement for excitement, the Lady Pirate basketball squad lost a heartbreaker
Friday night in Minges.
It was evident that this was the first test of the season in regarding the turnovers
committed. But the hosts were outrebounded badly, something they will have to take
moves to correct in the future to get on the plus side of the ledger.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
One of the most perplexed individuals on this campus has to be David Joe Patton,
who has seen his basketball team go the roller coaster route.
ECU has a 6-7 record, with the results from Appalachian out in a game played last
night in Boone.
Knowing Coach Patton and the staff, this writer just can't feel like they are putting
out less than their 100 per cent. The success of a program is gauged on wins and
losses in most instances, but here the success must also include the team itself. The
players have to go do their jobs, and in this case, not just in every other game.
Wonder what would happen if the players received scholarships every other
quarter
COMING UP
George Williams must have put in a special requisition for the clear weather the
Greenville area has had early in the week. The Pirates started limbering the arms and
legs for the 1976 baseball season, which will open March 6 in Harrington Field. The
opponent for a two-game set will be Maryland. The second game will be March 7.
There's just something about baseball that stirs feelings in a person that no other
sport can do. The tall, the short, the thin and the thick all play baseball. There are
certain skills involved, like in any other sport, which are needed for success.
But why, and in this case looking at the pro level, do people keep coming to
baseball games?
One member of the "thick" group who works with the Pirate baseball team offered
some answers.
"There's some Walter Mitty in all of us said Willie Patrick, who is a student
assistant in the ECU Department of Athletics and former FOUNTAINHEAD staff
writer. "A lot of kids like myself had baseball heroes early and never really grew out
of it. There's got to be a touch of being a kid in all baseball fans, because of the easy
nature of the game "
