Transportation Commission
accepts new transit study
By DENNIS C. LEONARD
Assistant News Editor
The Greenville Public Transportation
Commission accepted a transportation
study Tuesday night to provide a public
transit system for a large geographical
area of Greenville.
The six month study was passed on
to the Greenville City Council for further
study and possible implementation.
The purpose of the Public Transit
System (PTS) is to provide a basic
transportation system to the public that
otherwise does not have access to any
other form of transportation.
The Public Transportation Commis-
sion has presently asked for ECU to form
a liaison committee so that the
transportation needs of the students and
the public can be met. The Commission
is pushing for a July operation date, so
that problems, if any exist, can be
worked out before the students get back.
If the proposal is passed by the city
government, Greenville could possibly
receive a federal transportation grant
from the Urban Mass Transportation
Administration (UMTA). The UMTA will
possibly provide 80 percent of the vehicle
acquisitions if a significant need is
shown to the federal sector.
"The transit system will serve about
one half of the city and will go around
the perimeter of campus said John
Schofield, commission chairman.
"The service will operate on a 5 day
work week, with hourly pickups, at a
proposed 25 cents fare rate. The purpose
of PTS is not to compete with the SGA
Bus System, but to provide a service to
those who don't have transportation.
"We have already received a positive
response from the ECU Med School and
Pitt Memorial Hospital about extending
our services to that section of town
Gregg Davis, SGA Transit Manager,
was also present at the commission
meeting and "felt the PTS would have no
influence on the SGA Bus System.
"The SGA would be very receptive if
the plan were in tune to the needs of the
students and if the PTS proposal was to
be supplemented by the SGA said
Davis.
"I would like to see the ECU students
ride for free anywhere the service extends
to said Davis.
The SGA is presently holding off from
buying two new buses until the PTS
proposal is given full consideration. Cliff
Moore, in charge of Business Affairs,
refused to comment on the PTS
proposal.
Attorney explains suit
OSR hears Paul
By JIM ELLIOTT
News Editor
More than twenty persons attended a
meeting Tuesday night with civil rights
attorney Jerry Paul to discuss suing
Greenville city officials and police
officers for their actions during the
Halloween night incident of last October.
Police used tear gas to disperse an
estimated 2,000 persons from the
downtown area that night. Fifty-six
persons were arrested for failure to
disperse and inciting a riot during the
melee. Of these cases, 47 were later
dismissed in District Court.
JERRY PAUL -
Civil Rights Attorney
Tuesday's meeting was sponsored by
the newly formed Organization of
Students' Rights (OSR).
Paul, who was introduced by OSR
co-chairman Ernie Wruck, spoke infor-
mally on how the suit will be organized
and filed and on civil rights in general.
The suit will be a class action against
specific police officers and city officials
including Police Chief E. Glenn Cannon
and former City Manager Col. Harry
Hagerty, for violation of civil rights, Paul
said.
"It will be similar to the suit filed
against Washington, D.C. police and city
officials for their actions during the 1971
May Day' demonstrations against the
Vietnam War he said.
Thousands of anti-war demonstrators
were arrested and detained in D.C. stadium
that spring during several days of protest
marches and rallies. Lawsuits filed
against Washington officials for vio-
lations of civil rights resulted in damage
settlements of up to $6,500 to individual
plaintiffs, according to Paul.
As for Greenville, Paul said he has
sued the city five times since 1968 on
civil rights issues.
When asked why Greenville has had a
history of police instigated attacks on
students and violations of basic civil
rights, Paul noted an animosity the city
has toward the student population
possibly because it is so transient.
He condemned City Manager Hagerty
for not keeping the city council informed
and went on to note the tendency of
local police agencies to try to justify
their need for riot gear, which can be
financed by grants from the federal Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration,
by actions such as that Halloween night
in Greenville.
Asked if his involvement in the Joan
Little case could have an adverse effect
on this suit, Paul replied. "I don't know
what that has to do with it

Title IX major impact
effects students
By DIANE TAYLOR
Staff Writer
The major impact of Title IX
regulations are going to effect the
students, according to Dr. David B.
Stevens, director of Equal Opportunity
programs and attorney advisor for ECU.
Title IX is the portion of the
Education amendments of 1972 which
forbids discrimination on the basis of sex
in educational programs or activities
which receive federal funds. The
guidelines were handed down on July 21,
1975.
"The students have not really been
reached said Carolyn A. Fulghum, Dean
of WomenThat's our main concern right
now
"This is not just 'women's libber"
stuff she said. "It affects males as well
as females because there can be no
discrimination toward men either.
Fulghum said it was time to look at
the bias many people have in thinking
that the women's rules and programs
must be examined to bring them into
equality with the men's level.
"For instance, I don't see why nine
women's dorms should be left open 24
hours just so one male dorm won't have
closed hours. There are many good
reasons for keeping security rules in the
dormitories she said.
Title IX is different from the Equal
Right Amendments law in that
universities can lose their federal funding
if they are not in compliance. One
university in Houston, Texas lost $250
million in federal funds. Some
universities now have cases pending in
court.
"It is important that the students
know about Title IX so they can be sure
their organizations are in agreement
said Fulghum. "Besides, anything that
affects the students this much they
should know about
All efforts to inform the students are
being coordinated through Stevens'
office. The Committee on the Status of
Women, chaired by Fulghum, is working
closely with Stevens and Dick Farris,
associate director for Equal Opportuni-
ties.
Efforts to educate the students about
this complicated law will include
speaking to representative groups such
as the SGA Legislature on January 26,
the Co-Greek committee and an open
forum for all students on February 4.
Students are urged to attend these
meetings and read as much as they can
about Title IX, according to Fulghum. A
procedure for airing grievances about the
law will be explained. For now, women
should see Dean Fulghum and the men,
James B. Mallory, Dean of Men.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
"There are many questions that no
one can answer within the framework of
Title IX guidelines, Stevens admits.
"What we are trying to do is make a good
faith effort in all areas but we are trying
to be practical
Stevens was appointed by Chancellor
Leo Jenkins as the university Title IX

Court suit should answer incident questions
But, in the end taking the issue to court may finally bring some
answers to questions students have been asking.
And, at the same time it will force the "powers that be" in
city government who have in the past simply ignored the
problem, to come up with some answers-answers that will
stand up in court.
Putting the problem into legal form and into the courtroom
will do more for finding answers to long unanswered questions
than any other process.
After threatening a boycott and demanding that Greenville
dump its police chief failed, the issues surrounding the incident
last Halloween apparently are heading to the place they should
have been handled in the first place-the courts.
Former Greenville resident and ECU student Jerry Paul
brought his traveling legal show to Greenville last week to
confer with students on the possibilities of filing suit on behalf
of students whose civil rights were violated during the incident
that left dozens of students arrested, several injured and several
thousand dollars worth of property damage.
A suit, or suits, could answer a lot of questions that have
yet to be answered by the responsible parties about the incident
downtown on Halloween night.
Students have contended all along that the Greenville police
over-reacted to the situation and that they used indiscriminate
arrest techniques to break-up the crowd. Students have
contended all along that they were gased without being warned
and arrested for simply being in the general downtown area-not
for some specific violation.
The charges are not new. The City Council has heard them
time and time again. Yet, they have failed to take action on
actions by the Police Department that were obviously
questionable at the very least and apparently illegal.
Bringing Jerry Paul into the situation will not bring any new
friends to the students' cause. Paul is not the most popular man
in the area.
But, for a case like this the legal renegade is perhaps the
best person for the job. He no doubt can bring more attention to
the problem, both in and outside the courtroom, than anyone
else.
Paul has a certain legal touch that can be helpful in a
situation such as the one that has grown out of the Halloween
incident.
No doubt the court process will prove to be a long and
drawn out affair. Nothing ever happens quickly in a court of law.
Apply now!
m&
Today's newspaper carries Flashes on the back page
indicating that applications are now being taken for four of the
top student jobs on campus.
Applications are now being taken for students interested in
applying for Student Union President, and editors of the
Fountainhead, Buccaneer and Rebel. Applications for the three
editorships are open until February 2nd while applications for
the Student Union position must be in no later than tomorrow.
In addition, the top jobs in the Executive Branch of the SGA
will also be open for application soon with elections slated for
Spring Quarter.
So, in a matter of months all the top student jobs on
campus will be filled with new leaders for next year.
From the SGA President and other Executive offices, Student
Union President and editorships of all three campus
publications, the jobs are key when looking at student
government and its operations.
The students who hold these posts do more towards
influencing student opinion on campus than anyone else. So,
they are important positions, to say the least.
Yet, while applications are open to all, only a very few
students ever apply for these top jobs despite the fact that all
the jobs include monthly salaries and certain other privileges.
But, in the end only a handful of students will step forward
and apply for the positions. Only a handful will show enough
concern to come down from "the hill or over from the "dorms
downtown" to give some input into situations that greatly affect
the entire student body.
The editors of the Buc and Fountainhead both work with
budgets of over $60,000 each a year. The Student Union
President works with a budget of over $100,000 a year while
the SGA President has almost unlimited power and influence
with the legislature and its huge budget.
The positions are ones of power and influence yet few
students ever apply for them. A total of 20 students applying for
the half dozen top jobs is about all that is usually expected each
year.
Yet, there are dozens of students on campus who have the
experience and who could bring to all the jobs expertise that
could prove useful.
The qualified people are out there somewhere. They just
refuse to step forward and apply.

Cites recent bill action by Sullivan
Representative notes Sullivan influence
To Fountainhead:
Being a concerned and involved SGA
Legislator, I have become upset with
recent, as well as building, developments
within that body.
On January 19th, during our regular
Rules and Judiciary meeting, a
constitution was submitted to us in the
middle of our regular busines session.
Ricky Price, Speaker of the House,
handed us a constitution and told us if
anything was wrong with it that did not
meet the requirements of the SGA, to fix
it. The normal procedure for this is to
introduce it in one SGA meeting, send it
through the committee with a representa-
tive present to answer questions, then
introduce it in the next SGA meeting.
This was not done. It was railroaded
through our committee without a
representative. If Mr. Price was the
representative, he was not prepared to
answer any questions on its reliability.He
just said get the constitution through
favorably. The constitution was entitled
"Organization of Students Rights for
which Mr. Timmy Sullivan has been
instigating recently. In the committee Mr.
Price was asked who the co-chairman
might be for which the constitution had
called for. He replied one was to be
Jerry Paul. This was immediately
recognized as illegal for one must be
associated with the school to be part of
an organization. The vote was called on
the constitution in the committee.AII
in favor - a long pause - slowly I's
appeared. All opposed, one no, myself.
The bill was then introduced in the SGA
meeting. I then asked Mr. Price to repeat
what he had said about the co-chairman
in the committee meeting concerning
Jerry Paul.
Immediately Mr. Timmy Sullivan
jumped up without being recognized by
the chair (which is out of normal
procedure, but which is not uncommon
of Mr. Timmy Sullivan).
FRANKLY SPEAKING by phil frank

Student asked why
play did not last longer ?
To Fountainhead:
Attention: Edgar R. Loessin
It was my good fortune and pleasure
to see "It's Magic, Cinderella" by the
ECU Drama Workshop on Saturday,
January 17. I feel that I enjoyed the play,
as did the other adults there, as much
as, if not more than the children.
However, the play was not allowed
enough presentation time.
Many students could not attend
because the main productions were
presented on the weekend. Also the
unexpected srx v on Saturday hindered
the turnout.
I would like very much to see the play
be given another chance to be presented
not only to the students, but to the
community, also.
The entire play was superb. The cast's
hard work that made the play such a
success, seems almost wasted because
of the short life of this particular
production. It definitely merits another
chance. It would be well worth the Drama
Department's time and efforts to present
tho play againand againand again!
Sincerely yours,
Robert Dudley
Mr. Price neglected to call him out of
order, and did nothing at all. Mr. Timmy
Sullivan emphatically asked me to direct
my questions towards him and not Mr.
Price. I thought this strange, for Mr.
Timmy Sullivan is not even a voting
member of this body, or member at all of
this body, but called it upon himself to
disrupt my questioning of the chair. Mr.
Timmy Sullivan's motions seemed
suspicious to me. I continued to ask Mr.
Price the question and he denied saying
this along with Mr. Timmy Sullivan
babbling in the background.
One of my points is that this kind of
government is very shoddy and quite
seemingly has an unknown limit within
it. Who really is running the government
if actions such as Mr. Timmy Sullivan's
are allowed to try and down my
opposition when he is clearly out of
order, but not told so by the authority,
Mr. Price.
The vote was called and it passed,
but I might add over 45-50 percent of
your legislators had left the meeting. My
Student
wants play
to return
To Fountainhead:
Attention: Edgar Loessin
I only have one thing to say about
this past weekend's workshop pro-
duction, "It's Magic, Cinderella" why
did it close?
I am a junior at ECU and in my three
years here, I have yet to see such an
entertaining, FUN, and thoroughly
enjoyable workshop play as this one. For
that matter, the major productions of the
past three years could only equal it in
presenting the wonderful "magic" of the
theatre.
I know that "It's Magic, Cinderella" is
supposed to be a children's show.
However, it has been college students
that I have heard raving about it and
college students that I have heard
complaining because they were out of
town over the weekend and didn't get to
see it!
School is constantly offering us
enormous pressures, frustrations,
anxieties; it's about time something else
offered us simple, honest, enormous fun!
What a delightful break between all of
the difficulties of "real life
I was also House Manager for the
show and I could go on page after page
giving you comments of praise I heard
after each performance. People (adults)
were asking me when it would be done
again because they wanted to tell
"so-and-so" to come. One man even told
me that a faculty member had called him
while he was having dinner to tell him
about it, and she said she was calling
everyone she knew!
When something as BIG as this
comes along, I think it would be foolish
to run it for such a short time. Think of
the proceeds going to the Drama Dept.
Scholarship fund; isn't the money this
show can make for you needed?
So what about it Mr. LoessinWill
you disappoint the students and
community?
Kim Johnson
no vote was not the only opposition vote
either.
Please do not get me wrong. I'm 100
percent totally for students' rights, but
when they are sought after in such
shoddy and mysterious ways, I'm
opposed to these types of methods
especially if they are for personal gain.
One of my other points is that this
bill was railroaded through without going
through normal procedures and channels.
It seems to me that Mr. Timmy Sullivan
is a "political octopus" with "tentacles"
wrapped around many people. Mr. Timmy
Sullivan has one tentacle wrapped
around the Appropriations Committee
Chairman, Oaig Hales, by having him
represent him in the SGA to have the
treasurer appointed, another tenacle
wrapped around the SGA president by
having him sway the executives not to
have another election for vice president,
but having "our Beloved" Mr. Timmy
Sullivan assume the responsibilities,
another tentacle is wrapped around the
Speaker of the House, Mr. Ricky Price,
by having the "Organization for Students'
Rights" constitution railroaded through,
another wrapped around the Chairman of
the Rules and Judiciary Committee for
passing this constitution favorably
without it going through normal
procedures, especially when it was so
raggedly introduced; and still another
tentacle wrapped around Mr. Oaig Hales
again by having him introduce bills which
Mr. Timmy Sullivan can so emphatically
follow them up, such as the Halloween
issues.
It seems Mr. Timmy Sullivan has an
exceeding amount of power to be an
appointed person and not elected by you
the students. He seems to be
representing himself instead of the
students, so as to reach ultimate political
reign.
Along with my points, if one looks
closely enough one will find that Mr.
Timmy Sullivan, the Speaker of the
House, Mr. Rlc'y Price, and Craig Hales,
the Chairman of the Apropriations
Committee are all Sigma Nu's and
sophomores. I also am a frat man, Pi
Kappa Phi, and not a political "octopus
but a representative of the people and
considering how much power
Mr. Timi.iy Sullivan wields now, it can
only be a matter of conjecture how much
influence the boy will be able to peddle
by the time he is a senior, being only a
sophomore now.
Your representative,

Special committee formed to study media
A:�, � k � lab- Sucn an inventory is needed in light g taRj Currentlv. the Buccanee
A special joint committee with three
members each appointed by the Speaker
of the Legislature and the Chairperson of
the Publications Board has been named
to study various means of funding
university media.
Pub Board chairperson, Diane Taylor,
named Rebel editor, Jeff Rollins, and
Buccaneer editor, Monika Sutherland, to
the committee. Ms. Taylor and Pub
Board member Phil Arrington will rotate
and both serve as the other voting
member of the committee appointed from
the Pub Board.
The decision to name the special joint
committee came during a Pub Board
meeting Tuesday. Pub Board member
Ray Hudson introduced a resolution to
the Board asking that the Pub Board and
the Legislature both appoint three
students to a committee that would
investigate various methods of funding
campus media.
The special committee would start
work immediately and hopefully would
have recommendations for the Pub Board
and the Legislature before the end of the
Spring Quarter.
In other action at the weekly Pub
Board meeting, Board member Pat Flynn
was named to head a committee to
conduct a new inventory of the photo
of a recent Legislature decision to turn
operation of the photo lab over to the
Publications Board.
The Board also received financial
reports from editors of the Buccaneer,
Rebel and Fountainhead and also passed
a resolution calling for monthly financial
statements from the three publications.
Board members also discussed the
present printing situation confronting
Fountainhead. Board members were told
by Fountainhead editor, Mike Taylor, that
a different printer had been printing the
paper since the January 15th issue.
Taylor reported that the Mt. Olive
Tribune in Mt. Olive had printed the last
two issues of the paper. The Daily
Reflector in Greenville had been the
printers of the paper in recent history,
Taylor noted.
"But, the Reflector's price for printing
was considerably higher than the bid we
received from Mt. Olive so we have gone
where we can get the best price Taylor
commented.
Taylor acknowledged that there were
logistical problems involved with moving
the printing from Greenville to Mt. Olive.
"We will have to pay from $80-$90 a
week to get the paper transported the
some 60 miles from Mt. Olive. But, even
with paying that much for transportation
The U.S. Navy Officer Procurement Team will be on
I campus Jan. 19-21,1976 in the old Student Union.
Naval Officers will be on hand to talk to interested
persons concerning dfficer Positions in Nuclear
Power, Aviation, Supply Corps (Business
Management), Line, Nuclear Power Instructor and
several scholarship programs. Drop by and see
if the "New Navy" is for you.

we can still get a better deal by taking
our printing elsewhere Taylor contend-
ed.
Taylor pointed out that at least one
other printing company was interested in
printing the Fountainhead and that a
final printer had not been chosen.
In explaining the Mt. Olive printing,
Taylor noted that the pages of the paper
were now deeper and that more copy and
advertising could be put on a page.
Rebel editor, Rollins, told the Board
that the Rbel might be out for
distribution as early as the end of
February.
"Allowing for 30 to 40 days for the
printer to print the book, we might get it
out by the end of February Rollins
explained.
Buccaneer editor, Ms. Sutherland,
discussed with the Board, the
Buccaneer's continued efforts to solve
the state-tax issue that plagues her
publication.
Currently, the Buccaneer is taxed 4
per cent on its total budget for the year,
a sum of about $3,000 annually.
Ms. Sutherland pointed out that most
other college yearbooks in the state were
exempt from paying the tax.
"We are still trying to find out how
everybody is getting out of paying the tax
and we can't. We have gone so far as to
call the Attorney General but his office
does not even know Ms. Sutherland
explained.
A discussion on the availability and
advisability of having advisors for the
various campus publications was also
conducted by members of the Board.
In addition to board members and
editors of the three student publications,
Legislature speaker Price was also in
attendance.
The next meeting of the Pub Board is
set for 5 p.m. Tuesday in Mendenhall. All
interested students are invited to attend.
400 Vets enrolled full time at ECU
By JOHN DAYBERRY
Four hundred and seventy-eight
veterans were enrolled as full-time
students at ECU Fall Quarter.
About 500 veterans were enrolled as
part-time students, taking between three
and eleven hours.
"Veterans must have had 181 days of
active duty in order to receive
educational oenetits from the Veterans
Administration (VA)" said Ron G. Brown,

V.A. representative at ECU.
A single veteran taking at least 12
hours per quarter receives $270 monthly.
The V.A. gives veterans with one
dependent $321 monthly, with two
dependents $336, and those with three or
more dependents $366, with an additional
$22 a month for each dependent over
two.
Widows and children of veterans who
died in active duty, were 100 per cent
disabled, or died of a service-related
disability are entitled to the same
benefits as a single veteran.
"I serve as a counselor of sorts for
the veterans at ECU" said Brown.
"Most of the veterans with problems
are people who are either getting no
money, or the wrong amount of money.
"It is my job to advise these people
on applying for assistance and keeping
the money coming in.
"Sixty five percent of their problems
can be traced back to the veteran's
filling out forms improperly, or simply
not knowing what has to be done
Brown attended ECU from 1970-1974
after serving four years in the the army.
"Speaking from experience, the
veteran feels a little bit alone when he
first comes to school" said Brown.
"He's from three to six years older
than most of the students in his class,
and has a different background, having
been on his own for a few years.
"I was twenty-three when I entered
ECU, and they put me in the room with
an eighteen-year-old. We stayed together
one quarter before I got a private room.
"Most veterans live off campus or on
campus with another veteran
"Those who do have genuine
problems should know that one of their
V.A. benefits is access to a V.A.
counselor for personal, educational, or
vocational problems said Brown.

Greenville Gay stereotype examined
By LARRY SLAUGHTER
and JAMES PERRY
Staff Writers
This is the third in a series of articles
concerning homosexuality in the Green-
ville community.
The stereotyped image that most of
the public has of the homosexual is the
single biggest obstacle to public
acceptance. A serious look into our
society's gay element can sometimes
dispel the many common myths that
surround the homosexual community.
Myth: homosexuals are child molesters
(pedophiliacs). Myth: gays are prone to
violence. Myth: gays are largely
unhappy, guilt-ridden individuals. Myth:
incapable of maintaining mature rela-
tionships. Myth: homosexuals are
mentally ill persons, all of whom can be
recognized by their appearance and
behavior. The gay male, according to
myth, is effeminate while the female is
masculine.
An Analysis
The existence of these stereotypes
and their wide acceptance seems to
explain why so many people are shocked
if they discover that a parent, child, best
friend or spouse is a gay person. Many
gays have learned to be so adept at
understanding social masks and roles
that their friends and acquaintances are
appalled when the gay person finally
"comes out of the closet Then it still
may require some time for others to
understand why a newly admitted gay
friend remains his or her essential self.
The only differences they may note are
expressed affection for members of the
same sex and the use of gay
terminology.
Some heterosexual people regard
much of what is perceived as gay
behavior as repulsive or antagonistic.
However, closer inspection will reveal
that much of what is labeled gay behavior
is improperly titled. "I don't think it is a
gay characteristic to want to reach out
and touch someone whom you are very
close to says Bo! Mariner, coordinator
of the Eastern Gay Alliance. "It seems
that straights, however, seem to interpret
such actions between members of the
same sex as flaunting or antagonistic
Penny Purvis, an ECU student, also
expressed similar sentiments: "Many of
us are wary about doing in public that
which comes natural to us, things like
holding hands, for fear of appearing overt

to straight people Bob added, "So
much of gay behavior is perfectly natural,
not done to flaunt, but will be interpreted
by straights as flaunting. Most gay
people have only two choices: Whether
to be terribly repressed or
come across to straights as flaunting as
yourself. Gays are not characteristically
more expressive than heterosexuals, it's
just that some straights are ready to
point out and scrutinize a brief kiss
between two males in public whereas the
same behavior is perfectly acceptable for
a heterosexual couple
The gay community in Greenville has
encountered various anti-gay actions and
the outcomes in some cases have proven
less than desirable. A recent incident in a
local 24-hour restaurant culminated in a
physical confrontation among five of its
customers. Reportedly a couple of people
had broken through the line of persons
waiting to be seated, wanting to seat
themselves first. The waitress informed
these persons that they had violated
restaurant policy and would have to wait
in line if they would like to be seated.
Aggravated, the group walked outside.
Two men and one woman in that group
spotted two young males through the
restaurant windows to whom they made
suggestive gestures and kisses. The two
young men smiled and waved back and
returned to their conversation. Sub-
sequently, the two men and woman
reentered the restaurant and immediately
attacked the two gay males; one
assailant initiated the attack on one of
the gay men with a harsh slap across his
face. A fight ensued in which the woman
participated by pulling the hair of the
younger men. According to Bob Mariner,
"the magistrate refused to allow the two
gays, who were attacked, to swear out a
warrant for assault. There were at least
10 witnesses, including restaurant
employees, who were willing to testify in
behalf of the gay people who were
attacked. The only person the magistrate
was willing to listen to was the chief
assailant
One of the more common stereotypes
that has plagued gay individuals has
been the notion that homosexuality has
been labeled a mental disorder in the
American Psychiatric Association's
diagnostic manual (DMS editions I and
II). In December 1973, the APA voted to
remove the label. The board explained
that homosexuality did not meet the
criteria established for psychiatric
disorders.
The National Association of Mental
Health added that the homosexual
lifestyle was as deeply motivated as
heterosexual behavior.
The APA did add that those "who are
either bothered by, in conflict with, or
wished to exchange their sexual
orientation" could still be tagged under
the new category "Sexual Orientation
Disturbance
The attempt to "go straight" appears
to be on the decrease.
Persons who discover their homosex-
ual preferences may choose to attend
therapy to adjust to a healthy gay
lifestyle in lieu of trying to "learn" a
heterosexual orientation (where a limited
success has been reported). Indeed, it
seems more healthy to accept one's
inherent tendencies than to subject
oneself to aversive therapies which have
included shock treatments and nauseat-
ing drugs.
ft is evident from our research that
gay people can and do lead healthy lives.
It is obviously harder for them to do so
due to lack of social sanctions.
Those who have visited a gay bar can
attest to the fact that society's gay
element is as diverse in behavior,
lifestyle and form as the heterosexual
community. Gay bars and discos are
successful in many cities, even
Greenville.
If one visits a gay bar expecting to
find an entourage of transvestites and
effeminates, there may be some
disappointment. The usual mixture might
include business executives, college
professors or the guy or girl next door.
Negatives do plague the gay world
and not merely those inflicted by the
straight world. "Some bars and possibly
the gay bar scene in general has some
bad elements in it reflected Arthur, a
Greenville gay. "There's a great emphasis
on attractiveness, you know, the
cosmetic self. Of course that's true for
most any place, straight or gay, where
people go to meet others in hope of
getting sexual fulfillment
The American media is now
approaching the homosexual scene with
a more liberal and open-minded
approach. ABC's television movie, That
Certain Summer, explored the harrowing
exchange in lifestyle encountered by a
father, played by Hal Holbrook, upon
leaving his wife and son for another
male. Director Sidney Lumenfs recent

LAWSUIT
Continued from page 1.
Joan Little, a black woman, was
accused of murdering a white guard in
Beaufort County jail. She claimed she
was a victim of a rape attempt. Paul
received national attention as a defense
attorney in the case which was later
moved to Wake County.
Financing for the suit against
Greenville officials will be financed by
his law firm, Paul said, but added that he
was more interested in the principle of
the case than its financing. He explained
that his firm raises money for civil rights
cases from speaking engagements and
contributions.
If the case should lose at the Federal
District Court level. Paul said he would
appeal it to the Circuit Court in
Richmond, Va.
One of those attending the meeting
asked Paul if he thought there would be
reprisals against students who were
partners in the suit.

compliance officer. He is charged with
the responsibility of developing a
university-wide policy for implementation
of Title IX requirements and coordinating
all activities in the development of
university policies.
Twelve subcommittees in different
areas of campus have been assigned the
task of self-evaluation of programs,
activities, policies, etc. in their area. The
Committee on the Status of Women is
working with each of the subcommittees.
The study includes a look at current
policies. If discrimination is found then
recommendations are made to correct the
problem and then write the corrections
into new procedures which will become
university policy for compliance by all,
said Stevens.
Subcommittee reports will be com-
bined and sent to Chapel Hill where the
entire UNC-system report will be sent to
HEW. Everyone must be in compliance
with the new regulations by July 21,
1976. The area of athletics will have three
years to reach full compliance.
Stevens said discrimination may be
in many areas, not quickly recognizable.
Even use of the collective pronoun "he"
referring to male and female, is a direct
violation of the law and must be
corrected. Chairman will become chair-
person, and so on.

effort, Dog Day Afternoon, impressed
many by casting one of the film world's
leading sex symbols, Al Pacino, as a gay
person. The soap opera, Days of Our
Lives , this month will introduce a couple
who are indecisive about their sexual
preferences.
Wide media coverage recently was
awarded to Air Force TSgt. Leonard
Matlovich. Possessing a spotless 12 year
record, Matlovich was discharged from
the service shortly after he publically
announced his homosexuality. Matlovich
is presently fighting for reinstatement
and touring on public speaking
engagements, contributing his part to
dispel the stereotypes that have taken
their toll in robbing him of his career.
It is important to reiterate our
purpose, which has been to supply an
open and careful view of homosexuality
and its rolo in this area.
The gay community's optimistic
approach has afforded them some
success in gaining the acceptance and
the recognition of rights which they need
to further realize themselves as integral
and healthy social individuals.
"We've learned from experience that
they fight more if you lie down; they
won't fight back, but they will mouth off
a lot Paul asserted.
Paul seemed certain the case would
take some months but assured those at
the meeting that if students, who became
plaintiffs in the case, should leave town,
their depositions would be taken which
could substitute for court testimony.
Speaking on civil rights in general,
Paul said he can see many similarities
between the U.S. today and pre-World
War II Germany.
"If the judgement at Nuremburg
means anything, then police should not
be allowed to hide behind orders Paul
said.
The activist attorney noted that most
college towns have accepted the fact that
kids are going to congregate and have a
good time.
It is necessary to do this (challenge
city hall's authority) from time to time to
keep the city from going crazy, Paul said.

Senator Morgan discusses political past
By JACKSON HARRILL
Features Writer
RALEIGH �Most people might think that
to be a politician you must first acquire a
sound educational background in courses
dealing primarily with politics, such as
law and government. But what about a
degree in something like math or science
where it is not so much the subject
matter that counts as does the principle
behind it? An East Carolina graduate,
U.S. Senator Robert Morgan, earned his
degree in math and science; "I liked
math and science, and what little
success I've had as lawyer I would
attribute to math and science; start at
the beginning and you prove the theorem
or the equation right on out
Senator Morgan, after receiving his
B.S. degree from East Carolina in 1947,
attended Wake Forest College Law
School, earning his LL.B. in 1950, and
J.D. in 1972. Does he believe that it was
a necessity? "To my political career it
was said Morgan, "because I took the
roJte of law: Clerk of Court (Hamett
Countv). iudoe of probate, iudoe of
juvenile court, attorney general But, he
continued, "a law degree is not a must to
get into politics. There are other routes
that can be taken: local law enforcement,
legislature. A law degree is helpful, but
it's not a necessity
Morgan believes that his extracurri-
cular activities while a student were
home and run, but let me caution you,
you're not going to win If you go around
the county campaigning, people will
know you're going to open a law office
and they'll know who you are. So I filed,
and then during that spring (my last year
in law school) I'd go home every
weekendI'd knock on somebody's door
and I'd say, I hope they're not at home
By fate I caught on. A lot of people
would say, 'What's the use of sending
our youngsters off to college if we're not
going to help them when they get back'?
I won the election
Morgan started off his career with an
odd piece of advice. The court's first
term was held in January, 1951. After the
court was opened by "a distinguished old
judge named O.K. Nemits with whose
son Morgan had been in law school, the
judge asked that the court take a recess.
The new clerk was asked by the judge to
come over and speak with him.
"I want to tell you something the
judge said. "I'm glad you got this job,
but I want you to promise me that you'll
never hold it more than one term
This shocked me. "Why?" I said.
"Because you'll get used to the little
old salary they're paying. You'll get
geared up to living according to that
salary, and then you'll feel like you can't
live without a steady income. About the
time you get too old to start a law
practice some bright young man will
come along and run against you. They'll

say that a new broom sweeps cleaner
and they'll sweep you out and you'll be
too old to do anything The judge
concluded by saying that it might be
better if Morgan did not seek reelection.
Morgan's response was to go downstairs
and write his resignation, which he
issued three years later.
After entering law practice, and
finding that he had none, he decided to
run for the state senate in 1954. "I ran
against the incumbent, a very wealthy
man named Mr. Young, who never did
anything but come up to the Sir Walter
Hotel and play gin rummy. He laughed at
me. I won it, and that began my days in
the legislature
During his term in office he began to
build up a law practice at home,
spending his time with clients when he
was not in session with the legislature.
He found, though, that his position in
Raleigh was beginning to take more time,
influential in setting the course for his
future in politics, many people say
'I'm going to be in the U.S. Senate' (but) I
never had that burning desire
Senator Morgan's career in politics
began while he was still in law school at
Wake Forest. Governor Kerr Scott, in
1950, appointed Howard Godwin, who
was then Clerk of Superior Court in
Harnett County, to the position of
Superior Court Judge in March, leaving
the term from March to November vacant.
Two men from the county traveled to
Wake Forest to see Morgan and ask him
if he would campaign against the man
that Godwin had originally defeated for
the clerk's office. "Well, it shocked me to
death; I couldn't even conceive of what
the clerk's office was. I told them I'd
think about went over to see Dr. Lake
(his Constitutional Law teacher); that
began my political association with Dr.
Lake. He said that by all means go

forcing him to make a decision as far as
his private practice was concerned. While
President Pro Tern of the Senate in 1965
he realized that he was losing influence.
He ran again in 1967 to stay on during
the East Carolina fight to obtain
university status.
"I didn't want to stay in politics
unless it involved law Morgan said. "I
began to look at the attorney general's
office. Up until that time our attorney
general had just been a figurehead; he
always wrote a few advisory opinions and
his staff would araue the criminal cases
on appeal. I figured that if that was all
the attorney general did then I didnt
want to be attorney general

Department at East Carolina, helped
Morgan do research to find out if the

EC alumnus Robert Morgan
looks at alma mater
By PAT COYLE
Features Editor
RALEIGH- For anyone who has ever
wondered if success and notoriety can
come to a graduate of ECU, Senator
Robert Morgan is living proof that an
ECU degree can lead to big things.
Morgan, a United States Senator,
graduated from East Carolina in 1947,
with degrees in math and science. He
continued his education at Wake Forest
University, where he received two
degrees in law.
Morgan's interest in the progress of
ECU and its students has been strong
through his years in the state senate, as
attorney general, and when he was in
private law practice in Lillington, his
hometown.
He served on the ECU Btvd of
Trustees for more than 10 years, i ie of
which he was chairman. Prior to that, he
was instrumental in drumming up
support in Raleigh for projects such as
the creation of the nursing school at
ECU.
Morgan is aware of the status
changes ECU has undergone over the
years, and he has witnessed the school's
growth from a teacher's college to a
university.
"Until 1948, when Kerr Scott became
governor, if there were any crumbs left
after the pie was sliced, they'd hand
them to State College, and then if there
was any left after that, they'd give them
to the rest of us he said.
Morgan attributed the lack of concern
for the welfare of other state-supported
colleges to the fact that until he went to
the state senate in 1955, virtually all of
the legislators were graduates of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.
"It wasn't until about 1959 that we
(legislators from the eastern and western
parts of the state) began to put our heads
together. I remember the first morning
we met at the Velvet Cloak, a Raleigh
hotel, and decided we'd slice the pie
Morgan said this was at the time the
fight for the ECU nursing school was
beginning.
"Major L.P. McLendon was chairman
of the board of higher education at the
time. When it (the nursing school
question) came up at the board meeting,
McLendon turned to the secretary of the
board and said 'don't we have a nursing
school at Chapel Hill'?"
"He said yes, and McLendon said, 'I
certainly don't see the need for another
one That's all the consideration we
got Morgan said.
Morgan's relationship with ECU has
been a two-way situation. "When I made
a trip to Germany last year I put Dr.
Indorf (of the political science
department) on my staff. We had staff
members from foreign relations, and
Senators Humphrey and Scott in the
delegation, but it ended up Dr. Indorf
was the man they all turned to. He knew
his way around there far better than the
foreign relations staff he said.
In addition to his relations with the
administration and faculty at ECU,
Morgan has an additional source of
information on the goings on in
Greenville. His son Rupert, who is a
senior political science major, gives him
the student view of many issues, such as
the "Halloween riots
"I was a little concerned about the
Halloween events, but I think the older I
get, the more understanding I get of
young people. I think the police acted a
little hastily and yet I can see maybe
where the students were a little at fault
too Morgan said.
Morgan's involvement in politics was
already underway when he was a student
at East Carolina.
"I believe the SGA was more powerful
then than it is now, from what I
understand in talking to my son. You've
got to remember that the student body
was smaller back when I was in school.
"There were only about 2000 students
at East Carolina when I graduated, so we
were a more cohesive group. People were
interested in student government
Morgan said.
In spite of the many changes that
have taken place at ECU in the past 30
years, Morgan doesn't see any major
differences in the students' means of
having a good time.
"We did about the same things as you
do now. We didn't have visitation, or at
least official visitation in the dorms. Of
course, there was always some drinking
going on in the boys' dorms he said.
The students of the 70's seem to be
superior to the students of 30 years ago,
according to Morgan.
"I think they have better backgrounds
and they're far more enlightened said
Morgan.
Looking to the future, especially in
reference to the growth of the student
body, Morgan said, "If I had my choice, I
would've put the lid on it a few years
ago. I think maybe we grew too much.
"I really would like to see all schools
in the state level off and stay where they
are he said.

Homosexuality;
the 'straights'speak
By KIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer
Cr?,es'JtS thf next week which means that tne "straight" population of good ol"
ECU gets a chance to voice their views on homosexuality and the Gay Liberation
Movement. How do their comments compare with what the gay students anticipated'?
Read on! k
"I guess I'm totally against it (homosexuality) said Benjie Minton. "Of course I
probably have no right to say anything about what other people should or should not
do. Nevertheless, I iust want them to stay away from me. I think they are sicki"
Buzzy Braman, an ECU basketball player, said the "gay" life is fine for others if
that s what they want, but he did say, "I just don't want them bothering me I don't
think it's right if they bother 'straight' people and neither do I think 'straight' peoDle
should bother them " " ww
Kim Mozingo agreed with Braman. "I don't think people should bother them, but I
do think homosexuality is a disease. Still, people shouldn't cut them downuntil
they start invading other people's rights. As far as I'm concerned, as long as they stay
together and leave us 'straight' people alone, it's o.k
On the other hand, Barbara Richardson held an extremely opposite view on
homosexuality from the previous ones who said such things as "sick" and "a
disease
"I think it's just as natural as my being the other way: heterosexual she said.
"Actually, I don't see any big deal about it; it's a simple 'variation of the main
theme
Constance Bumgarner agreed with Ms. Richardson, but with a different "twist "I
don't think about homosexuality anymore she said. "It seems like something that's
natural and should be taken for granted. And I really don't give people much credit for
having said anything worthwhile or important when they put gay people down
Concerning the Gay Liberation Movement, Ms. Bumgarner made the following
comment: "I suppose the G.L.M.is good for those gay people that are insecure and
need something to stand on; however I tend to feel that it separates them even more
from being a part of society.
� l here are some people, though, that need to be screamed at for their biased
views on homosexuality, and G.L.M. does accomplish that. But people are just going
to have to open up their awareness on their own. I sincerely hope the need for a
definite 'movement' will fade out as people become more sophisticated
Lynn Slater made a very short but pointed statement when she said, "Any kind of
relationship between two people is a beautiful thing. It doesn't really matter what type
of sex life they have
Obviously a pattern is noticeable: the guys questioned so far made quite negative
responses, whereas the girls were more on the positive side in their views towards
homosexuality.
This pattern seems to hold as more students were simply asked whether they
approved or disapproved of the "gay world Approximately 65 percent of the guys
disappiuved where 75-80 percent of the girls approved.
Furthermore, when asked whether or not they accepted homosexuality regardless
of approval or disapproval, 70 percent of the guys said they accept it and
approximately 90 percent of the girls said they do, too.
Another trend noticed was that students of the fine arts tended to approve and
accept homosexuality much more so than the rest. Also, fraternity and sorority guys
and girls inclined the most towards disapproval and nonacceptance.
So much for the "straight" world!
Model U.N. operates again
By ELIZABETH BEST
Several ECU students are taking
advantage of an excellent opportunity to
learn through experience how the United
Nations works. Members of the Model
UN are gaining insight into the many
problems that the United Nations faces
in its day to day operation by imitating
the actual procedures of the organization.
The Model UN, which is advocated by
the U.S. Association for the United
Nations, began at ECU in 1969,
according to Dr. Hans Indorf, advisor to
the ECU organization.
"It went inactive for a while, but it
has recently been revived said Dr.
Indorf.
"All schools attending a Model UN
conference must represent the position
of one of the countries in the United
Naitons said Nanney. "They must
become very familiar with the point of
view of the country they are representing
and understand how that country
operates in the UN.
"By writing resolutions that we think
our country would write and trying to get
them passed, we come to understand the
point of view of our country as well as
that of the other countries represented.
"People tend to think that members of
the Model UN support the United Nations
and think they're going to solve the
world's problems said Nanney. "But
were interested in the limitations of the
United Nations as well as its
successes
Model UN members stimulate
understanding of how the United Nations
functions by hosting and attending
Model UN Sessions, General Assemblies,
and Security Councils, according to Dr.
Indorf.
These events are organized by
individual schools who have Model UN's
because there is no central office, said
Connie Nanney, Sec. of conference
affairs. Invitations are sent to various
schools in the U.S. who have Model
UN's.
Model UN conferences are highly
structured, according to Dr. Indorf. At
the conferences they imitate the exact
parliamentary procedures followed by the
United Nations.
The Model UN at ECU, which Is
funded by the SGA, will be attending
three conferences this year and plans to
host a Model Security Council this spring
from April 2-4, according to Dr. Indorf.
"We have attended conferences in St.
Louis, New York and Florida and have
received the best delegation award in
almost every instance said Dr. Indorf.
"The Model UN is open to all majors
said Nanney. "We need more people if
we are to host a convention in April
No credit is offered by the Political
Science Dept. for participation in the
Model UN because this might discourage
participation by students pursuing other
majors, according to Dr. Indorf.

264 Playhouse- Are they art films or porno ?
There are many forms of entertain-
ment in the Greenville area and for a city
this size the list is almost infinite. There
are niaht clubs, "beer saloons dance
halls, minature golf, ana the 264
Playhouse.
Now the 264 Playhouse is one of the
more refined night spots and on almost
any occasion one can find a stuffed
house. For an exclusive interview with
Greenville's newest big city theatre.
Fountainhead went directly to the source
and got a right hand interview with the
Playhouse's private owner. Arnold
Faulkner is the present owner, conceiver,
and coordinator of the 264 Playhouse
located on highway 264.
Fountainhead found that Mr. Faulkner
was very willing to the interview and
supplied all of the information that he
could think of. Faulkner stated that the
operation of the Playhouse began in 1972
and was a result of "me and the boys
getting together and building the present
theatre. With the kind of stimulating
sexual movies that are presented at the
Playhouse, the obvious question of legal
entanglement was mentioned.
Faulkner's reply was, "I ain't never
had no entanglement with the law, but
FauiKner has to "book them way ahead of
time Faulkner employs a booking agent
who goes to a distributor, who in turn
stays up on the national movie survey.
The agent picks the four best selling
movies at the time, provides the
264 Playhouse
they did come and view one of my
movies one time
There is a standard procedure for
showing movies at the Playhouse and
Faulkner follows the same format month
after month. They show one movie per
week or four per month. The reason for
this standard format Faulkner said, is
that the "public likes it better that way
because it keeps one good movie playing
the entire week Because of the
extended demand for the kind of
entertainment shown at the Playhouse,
Mezzo- soprano coming
Mezzo-soprano Jan De Gaetani will be appearing in the Mendenhall Student Center
Theatre on January 26, 1976 at 8:00 p.m. under the sponsorship of the Student Union
Artists Series Committee Miss De Gaetani's astonishing command of contemporary
masterworks and her sensitive virtuosity in the Baroque, classical and romantic
epertoire are ouickly makina her one of America's most active sinoers.
Tickets may be obtained in the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall Student
Center. Prices are as follows: ECU Students - $1.50; Faculty and staff $4.00; and

information to Faulkner's personal agent,
and thus the movie arrives at the
Playhouse. Faulkner wanted Fountain-
head to note that in February he will be
showing one of the hottest x-rated flicks
in the states entitled SEX USA , and he
wants everyone to come out and see this
one.
The type of clientele that patronizes
the Playhouse is quite varied and quite
surprising stated Faulkner. "We have
them coming out here from just old
enouah to aet in, to all the way up to 60
and 70 years old. Lots of women and girls
come out here now and a lot of men
bring their wives The reason for this
increase in female participation is that
"people are looking at it in a different
way and they are going to see the movies
anyway
From what I could get out of the
interview, Faulkner believes that many
people orally express that this kind of
movie is considered to be art, not
pornography. "I feel that x-rated movies
don't hurt nobody, and if they want to go
they will and nobody is making them
The 264 Playhouse offers a wide
variety of entertaining movies that would
not otherwise be shown in the local
theaters due to the sensitive subject
matter. If you have a taste for the bizarre,
a physical frustration, or simply receive
pleasure from erotic art, then let yourself
go, grab your top hat and overcoat and
take off for the 264 Playhouse.

'Great Decisions -1976'offered
"Great Decisions - 1976 a program
of discussions of current issues, will be
sponsored by ECU'S Division of
Continuing Education again this year.
The program is offered by the Foreign
Policy Association, a private, non-parti-
san organization which works to develop
through education an informed and
articulate American public opinion on
major issues in world affairs.
The basic requirement for involvement
in the program is that at least five
interested persons agree to meet once a
week for eight weeks and discuss the
topics covered in this year's "Great
Decisions" booklet.
Topics include the Arab-Israeli
conflict and prospects of peace in the
Middle East, U.S. commitments in the
Mediterranean, the new relationship
between the U.S. and Latin American
nations, the post-Vietnam role of the
U.S. in Asia, the "American Dream"
among nations, the part played by the
U.S.A. in the current world economy, the
threat to democracy posed by poverty in
India, and changing U.S. foreign policy.
The "Great Decisions" program can be
used for personal development, for
political club activities, for civic or
church groups and for teacher
certification credit.
The only cost of participation in the
program is the price of the "Great
Decisions booklet. No professional
discussion leader is required, since all
information needed is given in the
booklet.
The UNC television network will carry
weekly programs related to the series
beginning the week of Feb. 8. Groups
who wish to use the TV programs as an
additional resource should consider
scheduling their series to run with the
weekly television program schedule.
ECU is eastern North Carolina's
coordinator for the program. Similar
programs will be in progress throughout
the nation.
Further information about "Great
Decisions" is available from Richard
Morin of the ECU Division of Continuing

North Carolina Attorney General's office
"had the makings of a viable office As
a result of their combined efforts, Kozy
and Morgan drew up a position paper on
every issue that he was to take up during
the campaign. His election to this office
began his work in statewide politics.
After several accomplishments in this
position, including the appointment of
Charles Dunn as head of the State
Bureau of Investigation, efforts to protect
consumers, and opposition- to increased
rates by power companies, his friends
began to urge him to run for governor in
the 1972 race against Skipper Bowles.
$7000 had been raised for Morgan's
campaign and a poll had been taken by a
private organization whose findings were
that he could not be beaten if he ran.
"My administrative assistant, Carrol
Leggett, wanted me to run very badly;
he'd been my deputy attorney general. He
made one statement and I think probably
helped me make the decision. He said, 'If
you can't make a 100 percent
commitment to running for governor,
then don't run Well, I knew I couldn't do
that. I got up the next morning and
announced I wouldn't run; the
predictions were that I'd never be elected
to another political office Those
predictions began to be proven false as
people began to see that many of his
programs might have become dismantled
had he not been there.
When U.S. Senator Sam Ervin's seat
came up tor reelection, Morgan's office
took a poll which showed that Ervin
would be defeated. "People in this state
turned against him during the Watergate
hearings. This state was strong for
Nixon. This state also doesn't like to see
anybody get too much publicitySo I
had to make the choice either to go this
time or never go at all. Here again, that
wasn't an easy choice because I was
happy as Attorney General, but one of
the things that prompted me to make
that choice was that I'd been Attorney
General for six years and most of my
programs were pretty well grounded
Senator Morgan has now completed
one year in the U.S. Senate; in his
political career he seems to have aptly
followed the principles of the degrees he
holds from East Carolina. By starting at
the beginning he has made the right
decisions involving the problems which
have come before him, leading him to the
office he now holds.

Student testing program reported lacking
Standardized tests are "like a lock on
the mind, a guard at the factory gate
the executive director of the National
Education Association said today, noting
that "the only real beneficiaries, aside
from the test marketers themselves, are
insecure school managers striving for
comfort in their relations with school
boards, legislators, and governors
Terry Herndon, in a speech to be
delivered at a Commonwealth Club
luncheon in San Francisco, said the tests
follow the technicalindustrial model in
which teachers are .treated like
assembly-line foremen and students are
treated like cars.
"It's time to get the children out of
the factory and back into the classroom
where they belong the former Michigan
teacher declared.
Herndon explained he was talking
about such things as college board tests,
achievement tests given to elementary
and secondary school children, graduate
record exams, and the so-called IQ
tests-in fact, any test that compares
performance to predetermined norms and
is administered in identical form to large
numbers of students.
The speaker said that current public
dissatisfaction with the schools�includ-
ing test scores-relates to the public
mood which tends increasingly toward
fear, cynicism, and frustration.
"Apparently, it's a mood that, in the
absence of a unifying national
leadership, moves a great many of us to
lash out indiscriminately, taking insuf-
ficient care to identify the enemy said
Herndon. He pointed out that polls show
a loss of confidence in business and
government, and to only a slightly less
degree in virtually every other institution
of authority.
Teachers' strong feelings that stand-
ardized testing has come to constitute a
serious threat to their ability to perform
as professionals in the classroom was
dramatized this year in East Whittier,
Calif where, for the first time anywhere,
standardized testing became the central
issue at bargaining between school
teachers and school management. The
board instituted dismissal proceedings
against 300 teachers, but withdrew them
after the teachers struck.
The explanation of the teachers' deep
feelings lies partly "in the emergence of
a new dynamic in the American
workplace�the professional union
Herndbn told the California group.
"Professional employees not only
care about the product-they are willing, if
need be, to strike for quality Herndon
asserted. "And this, believe me, is what
is at the heart of teacher unrest in this
country.
It is the concern for quality education
that has caused the NEA to call for a
moratorium on standardized testing�in
East Whittier and across the nation, the
executive director noted. Declaring that
"standardized testing must go he
offered the following reasons:
Education is a very complex
process-entirely too complex for the
most involved standardized test to
measure. For example, in Michigan it
was found that 45 separate factors or
THE CLASS OF "82
ii

WORK - TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS!
objectives were required just to describe
math skills.
-People disagree on the goals of
education. Some parents want job
preparation; some, college acceptance;
others, mere custodial care or something
else. Yet standardized tests take for
granted that everybody places equal value
on whatever skill is being tested.
-Testing fosters big brotherism. "The
assumption behind the tests Herndor
explained "is that kids don't know what
is good for them, parents don't know
what is good for their children, and even
teachers can't be trusted. Such testing
works against parent-teacher decision
making and toward control by outside
authorities
-Testing encourages conformity at
the expense of creativity. The only child
to benefit is the absolutely average
child-with testmakers defining average.
Tests can dictate what a child must
learn, obligate a teacher to concentrate
on certain subjects at the risk of his or
her job.
-Standardized tests fail to do what is
claimed for them. He explained why they
are ineffective, or even harmful, as a
basis for allocating resources, in
providing data for intelligent decisions
about students' education needs, in
saving money, i r in evaluating teacher
performance.
Herndon underscored the "enormous
expense" of testing programs, the
product of a $200 million a year industry.
"To assume that the testing industry
would improve scores to the point where
it would put itself out of business is like
believing that the Soviet state is actually
going to wither away he remarked.
Pointing out that the 118-year-old
NEA was formed on the concept of
accountability to professional standards,
he noted reasons why the association
objects to evaluating teachers, or
accountability, on the basis of
standardized test results. Among these,
he said, is objection "to being required
to teach the minimum performance level
permissible on a test rather than the
maximum achievable level through the
individual capability of the child

cash stipend and $1300 the value of
remission of fees and tuition. Married
students receive an additional cash grant
of $400.
Beginning about mid-June the
Fellows will serve a ten-weeks internship
in a state, local, or federal agency in the
South. During the 1976-77 academic year
the Fellows will spend the Fall semester
at The University of Kentucky and the
Winter and Spring quarters at the
University of Tennessee or the Spring
semester at the University of Alabama.
Fellows who complete the Program
satisfactorily will receive a Certificate in
Public Administration. Fellows also may

the universities attended. The Program
provides all course work necessary for
these degrees.
Candidates must be American citizens
who have completed or will complete a
bachelor's degree with any recognized
major by June of 1976. Fellowships are
awarded to those students who
demonstrate a combination of high
academic achievement and a real interest
in a career in public administration in the
South.

Students must list taxable property
January is the month each year thai
every individual in the state must list the
property that they own with the local
listers.
In past Januarys there has been some
confusion as to whether students are
taxable in this county or not. Most of the
confusion seems to result from not
knowing where a student has a taxable
situs since frequently students will reside
in more than one place during the course
of each calendar year.
The state law gives as a general rule
the residence of the owner of personal
property as the place in which he or she
is taxable.In addition it states that where
a person has two or more residences
within the state, that tax situs is
determined by the place at which the
person has dwelt the longest during the
past calendar year.
Generally this law divides students
into two categories:
(1) Those students who started school
in September for the first time, and (2)
Those who are from an in-state location
and have been here two terms or more.
Persons in the first category have not
been in Pitt County long enough to
acquire a tax situs here, since they came
into the county in September.
Those individuals who fall in the
second category are taxable in the
County of Pitt, since they have resided in
the county six or more months in the last
calendar year.
There are fifteen township listing
places throughout the county. Property
must be listed In the township in which
it is located. For question about local
listing places or Tax Situs call the Pitt
County Tax Supervisor's Office 752-4711.

Garner scores
28 in win over
Richmond
By JOHN EVANb
Sports Editor
It was bound to happen sooner or
later. And last night in Minges Coliseum
it finally happened. The East Carolina
University basketball team came alive.
The results of the Pirates "reincar-
nation" was an 85-75 win over the favored
Richmond Spiders.
See related story, p. 18
Going into the game it seemed
doubtful that the Pirates had a chance.
Two players had been suspended, Louis
Crosby was just out of the infirmary after
fighting the flu, and Richmond had
demolished ECU only nine days earlier by
an 88-71 count.
But none of those things seemed to
matter to the Pirates last night, as they
put together their finest game of the year
in every phase of the game. It was a
team effort which saw the ECU team do
all the things they were supposed to be
able to do. Only this time they did them.
The Pirates, led by Earl Gamer and
Larry Hunt, just played mad all night
long, after being criticized for their play
of the previous week. During that week,
ECU had lost three games. All that was
forgotten last night, though.
Garner scored 28 points on 13 of 21
shots, a career high, and Hunt pulled
down 18 rebounds, the third time this
season that he has done so. Add to that
the inspired play of Crosby, Reggie Lee
and Billy Dineen at guards and the work
of forwards Al Edwards and Wade Henkel
and one would have hardly believed it
was the same team which had played the
Spiders nine days previously.
But it wasn't. The same players
maybe, but for a change these players
seemed to want to play. That was the big
difference.
Al Edwards started the game with a
six point splurge to put ECU ahead
shortly at 10-8, but Richmond pulled
ahead shortly at 12-10.
Garner found the range on five
straight shots and ECU was in front by a
20-15 count. The Pirates would never trail
again in the game.
For the remainder of the first half,
Richmond tried to play catch up, but the
ECU lead stayed as it was, building to its
largest spread when ECU built a 43-30
lead with 3:04 remaining.
The lead was built mainly through the
rebounding of Hunt and the leadership of
Edwards and Crosby, who came out of
his sick bed to play last night.
The Pirates used only seven players in
the first half and for the game.
That was all they had to use, and that
was all they did.
Late in the opening half, and carrying
over into the second half, the Pirates
slumped, as Richmond fought back to tie
the game at 45-45 with less than a
minute gone in the second half.
In other games, the Pirates could
Freeman leads
Pirates rebound to 72-31 victory
By JANET HOEPPEL
Assistant Sports Editor
Behind Debbie Freeman's 16 points
and an extremely balanced scoring
attack, the ECU Pirates stomped Duke
University, 72-31, in a game played at
Durham Tuesday night.
Bouncing back from three opening
losses, the Pirates pulled away to a 33-6
halftime lead after a 4-4 tie was produced
early in the game. After taking the lead,
ECU never trailed as the badly outclassed
Blue Devil team managed only two points
thereafter in the first half.
In the second half action, the Pirates'
shooting game got rolling and the Bucs
went on to hit 54 percent of their
attempts from the floor. The only
semblance of a scoring threat from the
Duke team came from Patty Walsh, who
pumped in 12 points in the second half.
The contest was certainly a complete
team effort, with Coach Catherine Bolton
clearing her bench frequently. Besides
Freeman, Brenda Dai I, joni Home and
Kathy Suggs all had 10 points, giving
ECU four players in double figures.
Commenting about the team's play,
Bolton said, "Everyone on the team
played a good deal. Everyone contri-
buted. I was glad to see everyone get a
chance and they responded well.
Bolton has been generally pleased
with the performance of the team in the
previous three games, despite the losses
attributing the problem to poor shooting.
"For the most part, except for UNC, we
have been doing what we were supposed
to, but the shots just haven't been
falling
Some impressive performances have
been given by Pirate players and the
remainder of the season should be
exciting, notably the play of Debbie
Freeman and Rosie Thompson.
Freeman, who leads the team with a
23.7 average, has scored 97 points in the
four games played and hauled down 53
rebounds. In the N.C. State contest
played last weekend, she scored 16 field
goals, setting a new Pirate record for a
single game.
Against UNC, Thompson pulled down
23 rebounds also establishing a new
game record. She is second in team
scoring at 13.7 a game.
The Pirates, now 1-3, are to meet
Madison College this Saturday and
Coach Bolton plans on a tough game.
"We'll have to play hard to beat them. It'll
be an even match

MADISON NEXT-ECU basketball players Debbie Freeman 35 and Susan Manning
20 will lead the Lady Pirates against Madison College at 5 p.m. Saturday. It will be
the first game of an ECU basketball doubleheader. Freeman is the leading ECU scorer
so far this year with a 23.7 average. Manning, a senior captain for the team, is one of
the Pirates' top rebounders. Photo by Brian Demay.

1V71 school teammates
Thorp, Kirby together on wrestling team
By SAM ROGERS
Staff Writer
For three years Paul Thorp and James
Kirby were both instrumental in Robinson
High School's drive to the top of the
Virginia State High School wrestling
championships. Now, after a one year
absence, both wrestlers are again
teammates, at ECU. Both have been
most impressive in the early part of the
season.
Thorp graduated from Robinson High
in 1974 with a long list of impressive
credentials. He was a two-time District
and Regional champion, placed fourth in
the state championships during his
sophomore year, third his junior year,
and second his senior year. Thorp had a
20-1 overall record during his senior year,
including 18 pins.
Last year, Kirby showed why he was
recognized as one of the top wrestlers in
the state of Virginia, when he captured
the District and Regional titles at 126 and
went on to win the state championship,
posting a 21-0 overall record.
"John Epperly, our head coach was
just a tremendous guy said Thorp. He
really helped James and me with our
wrestling and turned our wrestling
program completely around in just one
year
After a horrendous 1-9 season during
their first year as teammates, Thorp and
Kirby went on to lead the team to a 9-1
Five wrestlers recognized
Mike Radford has been selected as a
mid-season All-America candidate by the
National Mat News.
The National Mat News, considered
one of the top wrestling publications in
the nation, also picked three other
Pirates as Honorable Mention All-
America candidates.
Radford, a 190-pound class wrestler,
was selected as the fifth best wrestler in
his weight class in the nation. A
two-time Southern Conference champion,
the Morehead City native has a record of
18-2 overall this year. Radford was
tournament champion in the Neptune,
Monarch and North Carolina Collegiate
tournaments.
The three Pirates selected as
Honorable Mention by the Mat News
were Tom Marriott, Phil Mueller and Ron
Whitcomb.
Marriott, at 142 pounds, is a
three-time Southern Conference
champion and NCAA qualifier. His 12-2
record this year includes winning the
Monarch Open.
Mueller is a transfer from the
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
and has run up a 15-2 record so far this
year. He was named Outstanding
Wrestler in the North Carolina Invitational
Tournament. Mueller wrestles in the
167-pound weight class.
Whitcomb has run up the best Pirate
record this year, winning 20 of his 21
matches. Whitcomb's honors include
winning the Neptune, Monarch and North
Carolina Collegiate tournaments. Whit-
comb wrestles in the 177-pound class.
Patton searching for clues
One can pardon East Carolina head
basketball coach Dave Patton if he has
seemed a bit testy of late. The Pirate
coach is a little puzzled over his
basketball team, which entering last
night's game had lost three straight
conference games on the road in the last
week.
"I keep thinking we had turned
around. We played well at Furman, but
then fell apart at Appalachian. We played
a portion of the Richmond game as we
should, but then fell apart in the second
half.
"We played terribly at William and
Mary for the first 27 minutes (when the
Pirates fell behind by a 49-29 score), then
came back as strong as anytime this
year
Patton said that he is beginning to
think confidence is the real ECU
problem, but he is reserving judgement
on that assumption until after this week's
games with Richmond (last night) and
VMI.
"I have to reserve judgement on
whether the final 13 minutes at William
and Mary was a turning point. I thought I
saw something in that late rally, but
everytime before I've been fooled. We'll
just have to wait and see
The Pirates did do something
different in Saturday's loss, however.
ECU fought back for a change. Down by
20 points, the Pirates fought back and
actually made a game of it over the final
f!ve minutes.
"For the first time this year said
mm
Patton, "we've come back late in the
game, and this time we were down by 20
points. I hope this is a sign of things to
come
Patton did point out that prior to last
night's contest East Carolina had played
all but four of its first 15 games on the
road. Of their four home games, the
Piraes have won three. Patton said he
thought maybe the lack of confidence on
the Pirate team was the biggest problem.
"It's just a matter of confidence said
the Pirate mentor. "We don't seem to
have any right now and I think it all boils
down to the horrendous opening we had
and our inability to adjust, plus the fact
we've played so many of our games up to
now on the road
With two big games this week, ECU
is still searching for a set starting five,
but injuries, inconsistencies, and a
general poor attitude on the part of some
of the players have made it hard for
Patton to mold a starting five he can stay
with.
"We are still searching for five players
we can play with and who can do the
job. That should tell you something
about the team this year. I still feel that
if we put 40 minutes together as we can
play, then we could compete with anyone
in the league, plus gain some
confidence
Last night's game with Richmond is
history by now, but VMI looms ahead on
Saturday and still another saga in the
mystery concerning the East Carolina
basketball team.
Ml
record the next season, followed by a
perfect 11-0 mark. Robinson finished
second in the Virginia State champion-
ships during those last two years.
Thorp was Pirate head coach John
Welborn's top recruit last season,
winning the North Carolina Collegiate
Tournament and the Southern Conference
championship in the 150 pound weight
class. He posted a 16-8 overall record
and received the award as the team's
outstanding freshman.
"Yes, I was really pretty surprised that
I did so well during my first year said
Thorp. "I was awfully inconsistent most
of the year, but I guess that comes with
tne adjustment you have to make from
high school to college wrestling
Thorp has shown much more
consistency this year with a fine 16-5-1
overall record, including a tournament
title in the Neptune Open, a second place
finish in the North Carolina Invitational
Tournament and a third in the Wilkes
Open.
"In high school I was a very
aggressive wrestler explained Thorp. "I
always went for the pin, which was the
way I had always wrestled. But last year I
had to change my style to some extent.
All last year I found out that in most of
my matches all my opponents wanted
was the win. They would just stall and
mess around for two periods and then
come back and beat me to death in the
third period.
"I know right now I'm a lot less
aggressive than I was in high school, but
I've been winning and I've been a lot
more consistent this year so I can't
complain
Kirby, who wrestles in the 126 weight
class, has been the Pirates' top freshman
performer so far this season. He has
posted a 9-6 overall record with a second
place finish in the Monarchs Open,
losing to teammate Paul Ketcham in the
finals, and took third in the N.C.
Invitational Tournament.
"I don't think I have had to go through
as much of a transition with my wrestling
style as Paul did said Kirby. "I never
really went for the pin in high school like
Paul. I've always been a finesse wrestler
and just relied on my quickness to beat
my opponents.
"I've gotten off to a fairly good start
this year, although I know I've been
pretty shaky in most of my matches. But
Paul's exactly right about the adjustment
freshmen have to make.There is a
tremendous amount of difference
between high school and college
wrestling
Nevertheless, it won't be too long
before Pirate wrestling fans will be
watching Paul Thorp and James Kirby
wrestling along side of each other in the
NCAA finals. Just like old days back at
Robinson High.
Harriers to have big meet
By STEVE WHEELER
Staff Writer
East Carolina's indoor track and field
team will face tough competition
Saturday afternoon when they go against
the strong Tar Heels of North Carolina
and the South Carolina Gamecocks at the
Tin Can in Chapel Hill.
When the gun fires, it will be the
sprint and hurdle power of the Pirates
pitted against the middle distance
running and jumping of the Tar Heels. In
a meet held last week, Carolina took all
but two running events against the
Gamecocks and N.C. State.
The Buc sprinters Carter Suggs, Larry
Austin, and Donnie Mack should have no
trouble finishing 1-2-3 against the
relatively weak field the Tar Heels and
Gamecocks will put up. In the 60-yard
high hurdles the duo of Marvin Rankins
and Sam Phillips are favored over the
field.
Carolina is favored to win most of the
other running events, except the mile
relay where the Pirates should be
competitive. The relay team of Charlie
Moss, Robert Franklin, Carter Suggs, and
James Freeman should come close to
UNC's best time of 3:22.
George Jackson is favored to win the
long jump and triple jump in the meet.
He has bests of 231" in the long jump
and 488" in the triple jump and these
are better than anyone else at the meet.
Coach Bill Carson had some
interesting comments on the meet. "Last
ye?r we went up there and beat them, so
this year they are taking out some of the
events that we are strong in and putting
in something else. But maybe we'll be
able to win anyway. I expect the boys
will put out a hundred percent

Time-Out
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
One of the facts that fell by the wayside last year, with the dispute over the lights
and the student fees being used to pay for them, was the increase in student fees for
the ECU Intramural Program. At the time fees were raised to help pay for the lights,
fees were also raised three dollars a quarter to bring more money into the Intramural
Program at ECU.
With the extra money East Carolina was able to hire a full-time director for the
Intramural Program. The head of this department is Dr. Wayne Edwards, and his
assistant is Ann Lowdermilk.
Both Dr. Edwards and Ms. Lowdermilk came to East Carolina this past fall from
Appalachian State in Boone and, for once, this university has benefited, from the
mountain school.
So far this year it seems that Appalachian State's loss is East Carolina's gain. Dr.
Edwards and Ms. Lowdermilk have brought a first-class operation to the program and,
with it, a greatly increased level of participation.
An excellent example of this success if represented by this year's participation in
the basketball intramural program. There are 151 teams registered in the four men's
and three women's divisions, which would result in over 1,000 students participating
in basketball alone. This is an all-time high for the intramural department.
In addition to the excellent participation in basketball, Dr. Edwards and his staff
have initiated many new ideas into the program, among them co-recreational events
such as Water Basketball, the "Anything Goes" Co-Rec Carnival, Tennis mixed
doubles, Badminton mixed doubles, Racquetball mixed doubles, Co-Rec Horseshoes
and Co-Rec Archery.
The Co-Rec program before this year consisted of only volleyball and the Co-Rec
Carnival. Dr. Edwards has said that the turnout to most of the Co-Rec events this year
has been very good.
When one considers that the majority of students at this campus do not
participate in varsity sports, the Intramural program is the one area where the
student's athletic fees best come back to the students. Even those athletes who do
play varsity sports compete in other sports outside their fields.
Dr. Edwards has related to this writer that East Carolina has unlimited possibilities
as far as what it can do in the way of intramurals and that the help he has received
from the administration and faculty has been outstanding.
The FOUNTAINHEAD, in its coverage of intramurals, is trying to help out, too. We
cannot always report on everything, but our main goal has been to try and create
some interest among the students in what is going on, while at the same time try to
inform them as to what is coming up, thus encouraging participation. We hope we
have been of some help to the program and we certainly feel Dr. Edwards is doing an
outstanding job.
Some of the other advances which Dr. Edwards has made is to get ECU'S
championship Intramural teams participating on a statewide level.
For example, this year's championship volleyball teams will be playing in the
Atlantic Christian Volleyball Tournament on February 10 against other championship
volleyball teams from the state of North Carolina. This is the first time East Carolina
has participated in the Atlantic Christian tournament.
In addition, the championship volleyball and basketball teams will meet the
championship teams from Appalachian State sometime in March in a cross-state
championship match either in Boone or Greenville. This, too, is a first at ECU.
Dr. Edwards is setting up other ways for the intramural participants to be
recognized for their achievements, such as having the finals of the Arm Wrestling
competition at halftime of the basketball game on Feb. 3 and having the Intramural
Basketball Championship game as a preliminary to the ECU home baskciuall game on
Feb. 21.
It is obvious that Dr. Edwards is doing a fine job of upgrading what has always
been a worthwhile program at East Carolina. Intramurals is the one program where
nearly every ECU student can get hisher money's worth from what �s put in. That is
not too common on this campus.
There are still many events to get involved in, so try your hand at one of them
before the year is out. You have no one but yourself to blame if you don't.

Cites confidence
Patton praises team
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Buzzy Braman and Tyron Edwards
walked into the locker room with their
arms around each other. Neither played
in last night's game, due to a suspension
by coach Dave Patton. Somehow,
though, that was all forgotten. There
were more important things to think
about. The Pirates had just completed an
85-75 win over the Richmond Spiders.
"I thought I saw signs of it at William
and Mary said ECU coach Dave Patton,
"and there is no place like home. This is
the way we can play. It was a
combination of things tonight
Indeed it was. The Pirates put it all
together against the Richmond Spiders,
probably the strongest and hottest team
in the Southern Conference, to take a
little bit of salt off the wounds which had
been inflicted by three previous
conference losses, all on the road.
"This is a continuation from the
William and Mary game said Patton.
"We just made up our minds today to
play and I think we got our confidence
back
The Pirates played brilliantly in an
effort that had always seemed possible
of the Pirates, but which just had not
materialized this season. Patton, how-
ever, had seen signs of the comeback in
earlier games.
"We played well against Marshall in
the tournament down in Florida and we
played well at Furman, but I think this is
probably the best 40 minutes that we
have played all year
Two of the biggest faces in the
seven-man Pirate effort were Larry Hunt
and Earl Garner.
"We had great effort from everyone
said Patton. "Larry Hunt just played
tremendous and we got super play from
Garner both offensively and defensively.
Earl started off tight, but he got it going
on the boards and then just played his
heart out.
"But we got an effort out there
tonight from all seven guys. We played
only seven and they were magnificent.
We went in without a bench. Two players
were suspended and Crosby had just
gotten out of the infirmary.
"I'm just glad our people could see us
play this way. They could have easily
stayed at home, but they didn't. That was
great
Patton noted that the Spiders came
back to tie it early in the second half, but
the ECU players failed to ,old and
instead pulled away from the Spiders.
"You have to give Richmond a lot of
credit said Patton, "they came to play
and they never quit
On the Pirates bad start in the second
half, Patton said, "that has been a
problem of ours all year long. We haven't
done well in the first five minutes of the
half, but we didn't get fouled up tonight
and just played harder and with more
confidence in ourselves.
"We just concentrated on getting to
the boards and that was what turned it
around. It turned it around up there when
Richmond beat us on the boards and it
turned it in our favor tonight when we
took it to the boards
The Pirates did play with a lot of
confidence last night, but there was
something else there, too.
The other ingredient could be called
anger or incentive. The ECU team had
taken a lot of criticism from the
supposedly partisan press in Greenville
and maybe they thought they had
something to prove.
What the players might not have
understood was that the press was
behind them. The press knew how good
they were and that was why they were
criticized, because they weren't playing
to that potential. Last night they did and
they have plenty to be proud of.
Patton hit on the feeling when he
made the following comment after the
game
"I've heard the saying that winners
have fun, and losers have meetings. We
got tired of having those meetings and
decided to have some fun. We had some
fun last night
Saturday the Pirates take on VMI in
Minges. The Pirates will have a second
chance to beat the Keydets, who dropped
them earlier in the year.
They will also have another chance to
show something to the pessimists and
have fun at the same time.

Scharf elated over ECU victory
The East Carolina University swim-
ming team, fresh off a runaway victory over
the Maryland Terrapinsi last Sunday, will
meet Johns Hopkins University this
Saturday in Baltimore. Md.
�
Johns Hopkins, long known for
putting out top-notch doctors, has also
built an excellent swimming program in
recent years. Hopkins won the NCAA
College Division championships last
year.
On his team's win over Maryland last
weekend, Scharf had nothing but praise
for his swimmers.
"It was just an outstanding effort for
the team and a meet which would make
it very difficult for me to single out any
individuals

The ECU wrestlers flailed the Indians
of William and Mary, 36-3, Saturday night
in Minges Coliseum.
The Pirates had little difficulty in
handling William and Mary, who
supposedly were to offer them the
greatest threat in the conference.
Coach John Welborn cautioned, "We
had better not get over-confident towards
the conference tournament. They have a
fine team and the score was not
indicative of what they can do
The Pirates' performance included
three pins during the course of the
evening, while dropping only one regular
match. The Pirates snatched up the first
two bouts, with Wendell Hardy taking the
118 pound class from Tom Dursee, 7-4,
and Paul Ketcham downing Bob Pincus,
2-0, in the 126 pound division.
ECU'S only loss came at the
134-pound spot, with Paul Osman falling
to Jim Hicks, 10-3. Clay Scott downed
the Indian's Chip Griffith, 7-2, in the 142
pound class. Tom Marriott slid by Max
Lorenzo, 7-5, for the 150 pound decision.
Paul Thorp started off the pins nailing
Malcolm Hunter just into the second
period in the 158 pound class. Phil
Mueller followed by flattening John
Schmidke in the third period in the 167
pound division.
At the 177 pound spot, Ron
Whitcomb overcame Chip Pempsey, 7-3.
Mid-season ail-American Mike Radford
pinned Craig Cook in the second period.
D.T. Joyner scored an escape to take the
heavyweight class from Terry Bennett in
the final match.
The Pirates did not fair quite as well
in the four exhibition matches that
preceded the official contests, with
William and Mary capturing three of
them. ECU'S Tim Gaghan took the fourth
downing Bill Ranken 4-2 in the 142
pound class.
"We had a good performance, our
finest this year observed coach
Welborn. "This is the worst I think we've
ever beat William and Mary and I'm
happy to win
When asked about his selection as
mid-season all-American, Mike Radford
commented, "It's nice, but it doesn't
mean anything. It's what happens at the
end of the season that counts
Wrestling is one of the most
successful teams on campus again this
year. Although last year's eleventh-rank-
ing nationally is a hard act to follow, this
year's team has not been bad. The
Pirates' only remaining home match is
February 13 against Old Dominion.

Scharf was limitless in his praise for
the ECU team, and said that it was
probably one of the biggest wins in his
coaching career, which has seen the
Pirates win nine straight SC champion-
ships.
"This is one of the most gratifying
dual meets ever for me sid Scharf.
"This is what makes coaching
worthwhile. All that hard work and those
twoa-day practices have paid off
Those practices certainly did pay off
against a Maryland team which had
humbled the Pirate swimmers, 70-43, in
College Park last year. The Pirates,
however, won't have long to gloat over
the win because Johns Hopkins is
probably just as good a team as the
Terrapins and the ECU team will have to
travel over 300 miles to the meet.
The only mutual opponent the two
teams have swam against this year was
the University of Maine. Johns Hopkins
beat Maine by a 63-50 margin, while ECU
won 64-40. The Pirates, however, swam
without nine of its swimmers, who were
on suspension from the team at the time.
Those nine swimmers are reinstated now,
as they were for the Maryland meet
Sunday, and the Pirates appear to be
nearing a peak.
All this could spell trouble for Johns
Hopkins and another victory celebration
for the Pirate swimming team.
Two players
suspended
Two East Carolina basketball players,
guard Buzzy Braman and center Tyron
Edwards, were suspended by East
Carolina University head coach Dave
Patton on Tuesday.
The two players had not made the trip
to William and Mary on Saturday because
of ailments, bu were reportedly seen
downtown Saturday night.
An anonymous source supposedly
informed the coaching staff of the
players' actions, but Patton sighted only
"disciplinary reasons" as the cause for
suspension.
Braman sprained his ankle in the
January 10 game at Furman and had not
seen action since that time, and Edwards
was recovering from pneumonia on
Saturday. Neither player accompanied the
team to Williamsburg last Saturday.
Braman, a junior from Silver Springs,
Maryland, had started in 10 of the 12
Pirate games prior to the Furman
contest. He is leading the team in
assists. Edwards, a freshman from
Chapel Hill, had played in every ECU
game this year prior to Saturday's game.
He is averaging 3.5 points and 3.5
rebounds a game so far this year.
Patton announced that the players'
suspensions would be in effect only for
the Richmond and VMI games this week.
Soccer team notice
All soccer team members or anyone
interested in being members should meet
in Minges with Coach Frye Thursday
night at 7:30.

have folded, but this time they wouldn't.
They were out to prove something to the
home folk. They did.
Playing with more determination, East
Carolina reeled off four straight buckets
to break a 49-49 tie.
ECU held its eight point lead through
the middle of the half and led 65-58 with
6:20 to go.
At this point, Wade Henkel and Louis
Crosby teamed for five points and, when
ECU stole the ball again, Richmond
coach Carl Stone blew his cool and
kicked the ball. Henkel converted the
technical and ECU suddenly held its
biggest lead of the game at 73-60.
The Pirates failed to let up, though,
hurdling through the air, making
unbelievable passes, and sinking nearly
everything they threw into the air.
With 2:33 to play, the Pirates had
built an 83-65 lead, but that is where it
ended. With futility, the Spiders ran off
six straight points to close to 85-71. It
was too late for the Spiders, they were
beaten.
Garner's 28 points was high for the
game and Hunt's 18 rebounds helped
ECU to a 47-30 rebound advantage. Three
other Pirate players finished in double
figures: Al Edwards with 12 points,
Henkel with 11. and Billy Dineen with
ten. Every Pirate player scored at least
seven points.
The Pirates' shooting was the hottest
it has been in a long time, as the Bucs
shot 55.7 percent for the game.
It was a ripe time for ECU to get hot,
too, for the Spiders came into Greenville
with a six-game winning streak and a 6-1
record in the conference ECU quickly
cooled the Spiders off, however.
Leading the Spiders were Jeff Butler,
with 22 points, and Craig Sullivan, with
20 points. Larry Slappy added 15 points
and Kevin Eastman scored 13.
Richmond just didn't have enough
horses last night. East Carolina had them
all and they ran like thoroughbreds�right
into the victory column and back into the
hearts of a lot of puzzled fans.
