Viola Jones, chairman; and Ethel Spratt, secretary; of the E.C.T.C. Student
Government Appropriations Committee reported in the November, 1926 edition of The
Teco Echo, the student newspaper, that "Having secured the information necessary to
make appropriations, we have done so accordingly and in a most fairminded and
impartial way
The all-girl student government received fees from the 667 students enrolled at the
college that year to allow it a $10,000 budget. More than 11 percent of that budget
was used to fund The Teco Echo
From these humble financial beginnings, the Student Government Association at
this university has grown over the years to an organization responsible for the
spending of more than a quarter of a million dollars In student fees and has been the
leading force in numerous controversial issues affecting the city of Greenville.

Newsletter is

;The Teco Echo'
By TOM TOZER
Managing Editor
Student Publications have been
servicing the East Carolina Community
for over 50 years. "The Teco Echo"
is credited with being the first student
newspaper The Teco Echo was first
distributed in December 1925 with the
motto: "If We Can Make Public Opinion
Right Our Schools Will Be Right "
Surprisingly, the first publication
on this campus and the forerunner
to the Teco Echo was the East Carolina
Teachers College News,
published twice monthly. Volume I,
number I made its debut on October 23.
1923.
The biggest news item in that first
edition of the "News" was the
enrollment. The enrollment in 1923 for
then East Carolina Teachers College
(ECTC) was 486. This campus suffered its
first housing shortage back in 1923. The
"News" reported that 400 were refused
admission because of lack of room.

Six leaders responsible for ECTC-ECU growth
By DENNIS LEONARD
Assistant News Editor
Dr. Richard Wright was the first
President of East Carolina Teachers
College, and was chosen when the
college was begun in 1909. Dr. Wright
was President during the formation years
of the College and was one of the few
men on campus in the all female school.
In April of 1934. Dr Wright died
unexpectedly
On October 5. 1934, the 25th
Anniversary of the school, the Board of
Trustees elected Dr Leon R Meadows as
the President of ECTC replacing the
vacant position Dr Meadows was a
member of the faculty the first year of
the school, acted as a dean for a number
of years, and was a former Head of the
English Department He was also the
Secretary of the Board of Trustees for 12
years before his appointment to the
presidency
On April 26, 1944 a Pitt County Grand
Jury indicted Dr Meadows on 16 counts
of embezzlement and one count of
alse pretense The embezzlement counts
charged Dr Meadows with the
mishandling of more than $12,000 in
special college and student activity funds
over a five year period The indictment
procedures were begun on April 17th of

DR. RICHARD WRIGHT
that same year. The Court's solicitor
stated that the 16 indictment "covered
those items in the State Auditor's report
which clearly indicated the funds were
handled in a criminal nature Dr
Meadows was forced to resign his
position at ECTC, but still received
pension payments from the state for $100
a month for the rest of his life
On April 27, 1944, the Board of
Trustees of ECTC appointed Dr Howard
DR. LEO JENKINS
J McGinnis acting President of the
College McGinnis was acting President
for two years until the Board of Trustees
appointed Dr. Dennis H Cooke President
on August 1, 1946
Dr. Cooke held the office for
approximately one year until he resigned
in 1947 to become Head of the
Department at the Women's College of
the University of North Carolina,
Greensboro (UNC-G). Dr. Cooke appro-
priately submitted his resignation to the
Board of Trustees in this manner, "I am
submitting herewith my resignation as
President of East Carolina Teachers
College, effective September 1, 1947
May I take this occasion to thank you
and the Board of Trustees for the 100 and
1 percent cooperation and support which
have been given me and my
administration. Also, I am offering my
full cooperation and assistance to the
Board in locating a desirable person to
take my place
The Board of Trustees was quite
successful and expedient in finding
Cooke's successor. In July of 1947, Dr.
John D. Messick was elected President
of ECTC, and assumed his duties on
September 1 of that year. Dr Messick
came from Montclair State Teachers
College in Montclair, New Jersey.
At the time Dr Messick came from
Montclair State, Dr Leo Jenkins was
teaching Political Science at Montclair.
Dr. Messick was a native North
Carolinian from the eastern part of the
state before moving to New Jersey
Dr C.F Irons, the present director of
Student Health Service, came to ECTC as
the campus physician that same year

TECO ECHOVOL. 51, NO. 124 FEBRUARY 1978
50th Anniversary well worth remembering
It was quite by accident that the discovery date for the
founding of a student newspaper at East Carolina was made.
A decision to write a story on the history of the paper was
made and then a writer was dispatched to the library to find out
if they had anything on old student newspapers. The result was
the discovery that this past December 19th was, in fact, the 50th
anniversary of a regular student newspaper at this university.
And, while we admit that we are celebrating a little late, we
still feel that the anniversary is significant and deserves some
special attention. Thus, this special insert covers some of the
highlights that these past student newspapers covered.
Actually there was a newsletter that preceded that first
paper, The Teco Echo by several years. But, it was only a
newsletter type publication that was on small sheets of paper.
We claim the actual founding of a regular "newspaper" on
December 19th, 1925.
And, since that small beginning back in 1925, the student
newspaper at this institution has grown and prospered, right
along with the institution itself.
The initial copy of The Teco Echo was only eight pages and
included few advertisements and even fewer pictures.
The paper was published every two weeks with an advertising
rate of 20 cents an inch and a subscription rate of $1.50. Today
the paper is published twice a week with an average of 25 pages
an issue, and an ad rate of $1.75 per inch and a subscription
rate of $10.00 a year.
Visually the papers of 1925 and 1976 are worlds apart.
Different styles and techniques and advancements in the field of
journalism and newspaper production have changed the face of
the newspaper industry since that early beginning over 50 years
ago.
Things change-yet they stay the same. The style, design
and appearance of today's Fountainhead are different from that
early forerunner.
But, the purpose is still the sameto serve the student body.
The banner of that first paper proclaimed, "The best training
for a fruitful after-while is a purposeful right-now Nothing
wrong with that idea right now, we contend.
For the past 50 years literally hundreds of students have
worked on the campus student newspaper. The name of the
paper has changed three times, but then so has the name of
this institution. From the Teco Echo to the East Carolinian and
now to Fountainhead, so too has this institution changed from
East Carolina Teachers College (ECTC) to East Carolina College
and finally East Carolina University.
As this institution continued to grow and prosper we, too,
hope to grow and prosper, fulfulling that original purpose
established over 50 years ago�to serve the students.
And, our battle cry as we struggle ahead is the same given
by those few who inked the presses over 50 years ago.
for that initial newspaper. The original editor Deannie Boone
Haskett said it best with "It is your paper, so you must help us
make it a success
As historians looking back on those original papers, we can
agree that they lived up to their purpose-to serve the students.
And, hopefully 50 years hence when some newspaper staff of
the future decides to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the
campus newspaper, those historians can look back on our
efforts and agree-they served the students.
Our paper
Reprint from 1926 Teco Echo.
For a long time the girls have been wanting a newspaper.
They talked about it among themselves and wished they had
one, but nothing was done about it until one day at chapel, Mr.
Wright said that it would be possible to have one. That was all
that was needed. The whole student body became enthusiastic.
They wanted a newspaper, immediately a mass meeting was
called and the matter was discussed. The vote was unanimous
that we should have a paper. The staffs were elected and work
began at once on the paper.
Fellow students and alumnae. We hope you like it. It is your
paper, so you must help us to make it a success.
Is it done here ?
Reprint from 1926 Teco Echo.
Bryn Mawr's action in having a special smoking room, has
caused a great deal of discussion in the other colleges about
girls smoking. We wish to flatter ourselves by saying that we
believe smoking is the least of our troubles. It just isn't done at
our college. Or is it? If so, the girls who do it are ashamed to
let it be known, for they know that the sentiment of the
students as a whole is so strong against it that it would not be
tolerated.
A certain college professor told a class of girls one day that
the only way to make the men stop smoking would be to begin
smoking themselves. Probably the Bryn Mawr girls were
following such advice. As for us, we are willing to let the men
smoke on alone. It is their coffins, they are making, not ours.

From the Swing Era to Jethro Tull
50 years of entertainment at ECU
ENTERTAINMENT
Laurie Wilson
How many times has someone asked
you which university you go to and, upon
answering East Carolina University, they
have responded, "Oh, the party school
Well, it seems appropriate at this time to
delve into the past and look at some of
the publicized events that helped
contribute to the reputation of our
"swinging" school. Although the action
slowed up at times, East Carolina has
managed to keep pace with other great
institutions throughout the years.
(yes, Junior's father) playing the violin
rounded out the struggling thirties.
Then the Big Apple and the
Manhattan Strut were replaced by the
College Swing and the lively, turbulent
forties swept the campus. Again, music
had a big appeal and E.C.T.Cs own
school of music presented its first opera,
"Martha Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
appeared on a tour for her husband a�?
the war years grew ominously closer.
During the war, the emphasis was on the
men in service and East Carolina did its
part to entertain the soldiers. In 1943, a
Christmas dance was given for
IAN ANDERSON of Jethro Tull captivat
during the 1971-1972 school year.
When the school was young and
known as East Carolina Teachers
College, outside entertainment was void
on the campus due to lack of financial
provisions from the school. Any
programs brought in were sponsored by
an organization of society who paid the
difference between ticket sales and the
price of the artist In 1926, a special fund
was set up for entertainment and other
activities The fees were $5.00 per
student per quarter for entertainment and
publications. This was the small
beginning of what is now known as the
Student Union One of the first big
events the campus enjoyed was the
swinging sound of Paul Whiteman's
band, the original jazz orchestra of the
late twenties. If one can imagine it, the
newly built Wright auditorium was
completely sold out, including the
standing room.
The thirties were ushered in by the
depression, but that did not deter Art
Kassel and His Kasseis of the Air from
making an appearance This illustrious
group was one of many musical
programs presented in this era of growth.
Amelia Earhart made a hit as the first
internationally known aviatrix. Her
accounts of trips across the oceans
excited many a young lady with fanciful
thoughts of the heavens. Dale Carnegie
brought them all back to earth with a
stimulating lecture on his already famous
books of success and how to attain it.
Russian choruses, Metropolitan sopra-
nos, marionettes, and Efrem ZimbaJist
as an ECU audience in Minges Coliseum
servicemen and all of the East Carolina
ladies helped to make it a "razzle dazzle"
affair for all. There were speakers on the
world and the war, such as Charles
Collingwood, a reporter who had just
returned from overseas. With 1946 came
returning vets and the big band name of
Tommy Tucker and Tommy Tucker Time.
The veterans were hosted at the
homecoming festivities and, as the
campus settled back into a reasonable
facsimile of peace, the only headaches
the entertainment committee had were
whether or not the programs were tco high
brow or too low brow and if the
Coca-Colas provided for the Tommy
Tucker band members were going to be
used for chasers.
The fifties saw a slowdown in
programming as the campus pace
continued to go from a run into a
contented walk. The East Carolina
Playhouse contributed a great deal of
talent with such productions as
"Charleys Aunt" and "Pygmalion In one
production of "State of the Union
Hollywood star Jeffrey Lynn was
contracted to come and perform with the
East Carolina cast. The Vienna Boys
Choir and Oscar Levant, a popular pianist
of the time, were highlights of the years
and Tommy Tucker made another
appearance at a dance concert. Perhaps
the biggest event was the opening of the
new student union. Offering TV games
and dancing every night, It must have
added a great deal to the social life of
the students
With the early years of the infamous
sixties came the mellow sounds of many
male groups and the craze of the twist.
The entertainment committee was divided
into the Fine Arts committee and the
Popular Series committee. Homecomings
proved to draw a great deal of interest
and a great number of performers. Frank
Gorshin emceed one early homecoming
show that included Johnny Nash while
Ray Charles and the Raelets were
featured at a later November affair. Four
seemed to be a popular number and the
campus was visited by the Four Preps,
the Four Freshmen, and the Four
Seasons at one time or another. The
Smothers Brothers were "a comedy
team" who performed at Memorial Gym
in 1962 and Ferrante and Teicher were
popular enough to be invited to come
twice. The second half of the decade saw
the growing age of unrest and the era of
the coffee house was begun on campus
in 1966. The Embers could be found at
the CU for dancing one night, and the
Righteous Brothers offered two concerts
on another evening. In 1968, Neil
Diamond made an appearance and Paul
Anka was featured for homecoming
activities. Andres Segovia, the noted
Spanish classical guitarist, and a country
and western show with Marty Robbins
and Jim Ed Brown rounded out the
musical tastes to suit everyone.
Homecoming of 1969 offered two big
names in the way of Dionne Warwick and
the Fifth Dimension, and B. J. Thomas
started the year of' right in September.
For Carousel Weekend, Jose Feliciano
and the Brooklyn Bridge were on hand to
close out one era at East Carolina and
begin another.
The liberated seventies were greeted
at Homecoming by Friends of Distinction
and Guess Who closely followed in the
year by the sounds of Chicago. Vincent
Price made his first guest lecture here
five years ago and the first Black Arts
Festival was begun in 1971. This was
also the year for lecturers and bands.
Nicki Cruz was warmly welcomed and Pat
Paulsen waswell, Pat Paulsen. Home-
coming was celebrated with Bread and
Jethro Tull, and Kris Kristofferson and
the Allman Brothers finished out the
winter quarter. The spring and East
Carolina played host to a young brother
and sister act known as the Carpenters
and a blue grass festival on the mall was
a welcome change in routine The more
recent years have been an experience in
sophistication with programs by such
artists as Marcel Marceau, Chick Corea,
Earl Scruggs, and the National
Shakespeare Company.
These have only been the highlights
of the past fifty years. There have been
many more artists from various fields
that have made great contributions to the
entertaining of East Carolina students,
not only those performers brought in but
those from our own departments of
drama, music, and art. And with
performers like James Taylor, Linda
Ronstadt, and Michael Murphey as
examples of the present, we can look
ahead with anticipation to the next fifty
years.

Publications change with growing campus
By JACKSON HARRILL
Features Writer
East Carolina Teachers College, later
to be known as East Carolina College
and still later as East Carolina University,
was founded in 1907. The Teoo Echo , the
student newspaper of E.C.T.C, printed
its first edition on Saturday, December
19,1925. Like the school to which it was
attached, the paper has gone through
just as many name changes.
The Teoo Echo , (sometimes spelled
"Techo"), made its first appearance as a
bi-weekly, with a subscription rate of
$1.50 a year.
Editor-in-Chief Deanie Boone Haskett
worked with a staff of three assistant
editors, a business manager, four
assistant business managers, an alumnae
business manager, and reporters from
various student activities on campus:
Student Government, Y.W.C.A Athletic
League, Tecoan Staff (yearbook). Lanier
Society, Pep Society, Home Economics
Club, Phi Epsilon, La Societe Francaise,
and each Academic class.
The first issue carried the following
notice: "We herewith present the first
issue of the first newspaper published by
the students of East Carolina Teachers
College. We offer it as it is, with no
apologies, no explanations. Let it speak
for itself
Included was a brief summary of how
the paper got its start. The students, it
said, had been wanting a paper for a long
time, but it was not until E.C.T.C.
President Robert H. Wright announced
that it would be "possible" to have one,
that it was published. A unanimous vote
of the student body determined that there
should be one; staffs we'o elected
and work beoan at once on the paper
An explanation of how the name was
selected was also inlcuded. "We like our
name. We like it because it is catchy and
original, and because it really means
something. Techo' is, of course, derived
from Teachers College' and the word
Echo' just fitted in with our idea of what
we wanted the paper to bean echo of
the colleqe
It was mentioned that the newsletter
which had previously been published by
the college and sent to the alumnae was
being combined with the newspaper.
borne notes in the old newsletter
included a notice about "an excellent
new moving picture machine (which)
rrv es it possible to have good movies
every Saturday evening" and an account
of the enrollment: 486 students, "filling
dormitories and rooms in the neighbor-
hood 400 were "refused admission
because of lack or room" and the
students came from 5 states (North and
South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and Tennessee).
An editorial in one of the early issues
of tne Techo reported that the action
taken at Bryn Mawr College (Pennsyl-
vania) in creating a "special smoking
room" was causing "a great deal of
discussion in the other colleges about
girls smoking. We wish to flatter
ourselves by saying that we believe that
smoking is the least of our troubles. It
just isn't done at our college. Or is it? If
so, the girls who do it are ashamed to let
it be known, for they know that the
sentiment of the students as a whole is
so strong against it that it would not be
tolerated
The editorial then went on to say that
a statement had once been made that the
only way to stop men from smoking
would be for the women to start, but that
"we are willing to let the men smoke on
alone, It is their coffins, they are making,
not ours
The name for the paper and yearbook
had been selected by a contest in which
the students submitted names. 150
names were submitted, and the winner
was awarded $5.00.
The third issue of the paper included
an editorial on the need for more
athletics at E.C.T.C. This was in 1926,
before the college had turned co-ed.
It was reported in the May 2 1947
issue that all freshmen and sophomores
(except first quarter women) were now
permitted to go downtown at night and
home the first three weekends of a
quarter. Previously, the article stated, all
women were required to remain on
campus those weekends.
On April 6, 1951 the name of the
college was changed to "East Carolina
College striking the word "Teachers"
from the name, although, it was noted,
86 percent of the school's graduates were
teachers.
The headline on the issue of Friday,
October 24, 1952 was "Monday Vote
Decides Paper, Annual Names As a
result of consideration by the Publica-
tions board (which was formed in 1938)
of names for the newspaper and
yearbook, a unanimous vote of the board
decided on which names should be
placed on the ballot. The reason given for
the change of the names was because
the word "Teachers" was now gone from
the name of the college, which formed a
basis for each of the publications' names
Techo Echo, Tecoan).
The board felt that the change should
be to one "whereby the college would
receive more publicity The fact was
brought out that "There are approxima-
tely 1000 papers mailed from this college
each week to all comers of the world,
and that people seeing the name of the
college in (the) nameplate of the paper
would associate the paper with a college
in eastern North Carolina
The East Carolinian won out over
Teco Echo for the name of the paper.
Buccaneer was chosen as the name of
the yearbook out of such suggestions at
Pirate's Cheat, Tecoan, Pieces of Eight,
and Pirate's Log.
The paper became the Fountainhead
in 1970, and had the distinction of being
the first collegiate paper among those in
the state to have Associated Press wire
stories in its issues.
During its 50-year existence, the bast
Carolina newspaper has evolved from a
newsletter to a newspaper, first serving
an all-women college and now a co-ed
university.
In spite of the numerous changes in
name and format, the Teco Echo, East
Carolinian, and Fountainhead have
shared a common purpose ; informing
and supporting its readership.
Barrett's 'year' in Greenville lasts a lifetime
By PAT COYLE
Features Editor
In 1930 a young graduate of Bowling
Green (Ky.) College of Commerce arrived
in Greenville, ready to assume her
position as secretary to East Carolina
Teacher's College President Robert H.
Wright.
When Agnes Wadlington accepted the
job at ECTC, she only planned to stay in
Greenville a vear before returning to
Oklahoma to teach.
Agnes Wadlington's one year stay
never ended.
She married A. L .Barrett in 1937, and
went on to serve all six of East Carolina's
presidents before her retirement in 1970.
Mrs. Barrett has had a birdseye view
of the changes the school has gone
through, and of the leaders who
implemented those changes.
DR. ROBERT H. WRIGHT
"Dr. Wright had a vision of the role
East Carolina must play, and had the
energy and faith needed to work toward
growth and expansion she said.
Mrs. Barrett went on to say that
Wright, the first president, had little
interest in press agents or press
releases.
"The emphasis, at all times, was on
teaching she said.
Under Dr. Wriaht's leadership,
students were compelled to do many
things, such as attending chapel five
days a week.
"It seemed normal to him that many
should object to regulations imposed
she said.
"The students were encouraged
in self-government, but were reminoeo
that final responsibility was in the
administration
Mrs. Barrett said President Wright
was more interested in the teaching
aspect of his job than in business
matters.
MEADOWS AND GROWTH
When Wright died in 1934, Dr. Leon
R. Meadows took his place.
"His students always referred to him
as a teacher who loved poetry, but Dr.
Meadows was known in town as a keu
businessman who enjoyed building
Barrett said.
She said Meadows involved himself
with building, paving, repairing, landsca-
ping and painting.
THREE PRESIDENTS
Dr. Howard J. McGinnis took over as
the school's chief administrator when
Meadows retired in 1944.
He served two and a half years, and
was succeeded by Dr. Dennis H. Cooke
who stayed for one year, then went to
Women's College, in Greensboro.
"Dr. John D. Messick was elected
president in September, 1947 Barrett
said.
"That fall he brought to East Carolina
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, with whom he had
been associated in Montclair, N.J
JUKE BOXES AND GREAT DANES
Through the years, Mrs. Barrett has
observed the growing pains of a
changing campus.
She recalled the time in 1958-59 when
administrative offices were being
enlarged, causing Dr. Messick and
herself to have offices on the first floor
of Wright Auditorium.
"The first floor of Wright was used
during the day as a teaching studio for
piano and organ, while the basement
housed the Student Union Barrett said.
"There were many times when a
student would be practicing on the
organ, while a juke box below blared
forth with rock and roll
"There were no buzzers, and when the
telephone failed as it did rather often, the
boys in the SGA volunteered as student
express
Barrett said that also that year a great
dane was purchased as a mascot. For the
duration of that summer, her crowded
office served as a resting place for the
dog, who spent his days next to a floor
fan at her desk.
"Althouah Buc was handsome and
lovable. he let the team
down as a mascot she said.
"He liked milK and disliked the smell
of beer; hated the band and was terrified
of crowds
TIMES-TO REMEMBER
Wf.en asked if one particular event
stands out in her mind as a time to
remember at East Carolina, Mrs. Barrett
recalled the day of Kennedy's assasina-
tion, in 1963.
"The campus was the most united, in
sorrow, at the memorial service held that
night she said.
"The lights went out durina the
service, but nobodv even moved
STUDENTS
Mrs. Barrett has always maintained a
close relationship with many East
Carolina students, and has watched their
post-graduate progress with interest.
She's seen changes in student
attitudes through the years, including the
late 60's when the 'generation gap' and
student unrest were prevalent.
"Serious students, capable of
profitting by a college enduration, should
take a stand against the disruptive
minority she said.
Don't leave leadership up to the
lemonings of this generation

Editor's Note: This story appeared in the

Four o'clock any Sunday Elsie goes to
the mirror, powders her nose, straightens
ner hair, gives herself an approving
glance saunters over to the window.
Pushing up the shade, she balances
herself on the window sill and looks
down at the campus below, when the
"dates" are coming in. A smile of
contentment steals over her face as some
of the boys wave their hands or give her
a sly wink. She heaves a sigh of utter
contentment-makes sure that she is
smiling so that the dimples in her cheeks
will show, and keeps her eye on the
scene below.
Fords, Dodge coupes, Buicks and
Lincolns are all parked in front of the
parlor door. Fat boys, slim boys, boys
with red neckties and floppy hats, and
boys with heavy overcoats on, are all
"piling out" of the car and are on their
way to the parlor. Some are bashful,
others are full of gaiety "nerve Seeing
Elsie sitting by the window, they wink,
laugh and wave at her. Then, as the
parlor door is opened, they push in, each
trying to get in first.
Meanwhile, Elsie is still gazing out of
the window and wishing that she had a
date. Suddenly she peers out, calls to
her roommate and exclaims, "Come here,
Jane, and take a look at that guy
standing by the Ford coupe, the one with
the blue tie and the grey coat "No, not
that one the other one. Yeah, that's the
one. Now, he is what I call a good
looking boy, but doesn't he look bashful?
I bet this is the first date that he has ever
had up here. What in the world do you
reckon he is waiting for? Don't you
reckon that he knows it is four o'clock?
Poor thing, I wish that I could catch his
eye. Is anybody looking?"
Leaning out, she gives a low whistle,

Mr. Herbert Carter, Miss Nell
Stallings, and Mrs. Marguerite Perry have
all been ECU faculty members for thirty
years or more.
"I was the fourth member of the
music faculty when I came here in 1946,
and I did everything said Carter,
chairman of the instrumental department
and band director for the music school.
Carter taught all instruments, and
directed the ECU band, which attracted
17 members to its first rehearsal. Before
Carter came, the local high school played
at ECU'S home games.
The music school's headquarters were
upstairs in Wright Auditorium. A football
field was located where the present
music building now stands.
"I've watched many changes occur at
ECU said Carter. "I've seen some
traditions leave us which I hated to see
go.
"Old Austin, which was located where
the art building now stands, and Wright
Auditorium were central to the traditions
of ECU.
"These buildings as well as the
fountain in front of Wright meant ECU to
many graduates said Carter.
Carter would like to see Wright
Auditorium renovated, and made into a
concert hall.
"One tradition we've kept is the Alma
Mater said Carter. "I'd like to see a
renewed interest in it. I'd love to hear it
sung by everyone at the games
Miss Nell Stallings, a professor of
physical education, began teaching at
ECU in 1943.
"There were only two instructors in
the physical education department then,
compared to about 35 instructors now
said Stallings. The department was
located in Wright, which was where all
the basketball qames were played.
"The campus was much smaller
then said Stallings. "When MemoriaJ
Gym was built people complained that it
was too far away from campus.
"I miss the cohesiveness of the
smaller groups. There are so many staff
members who are complete strangers to
me.
"I like the diversity of programs which
the university offers now.
"I think the communication between
students and teachers has improved
greatly said Stallings.

A journalistic history of East Carolina sports: 1925- 1976
In the early daysv'of the TECHO
ECHO, the only students on campus
were women, and therefore, if you
haven't guessed yet, the only athletic
teams, belonged to the women.
The first athletic team at East
Carolina was the Women's basketball
team. The team in those days played
games primarily between classes and
schools. The captain of the women's
team in 1923, two years before the paper
started publishing and the year of the
first TECOAN, or school yearbook, was
Hazel Kennedy. The positions on that
team were listed as guard, forwards,
slide center and jumping center. 1923
was also the year that the first Athletic
Association at East Carolina was
founded, and of course it was made up
entirely of women.
In 1924, the "big game" between the
Senior and Junior classes was played
outdoors on Thanksgiving Day and the
Junior class beat their Senior counter-
parts by a 24-8 count. The Athletic
program that year included tennis,
basketball, track and hiking. Baseball
was added in 1925.
In 1925, the TECOAN wrote "Athletics
is something every college girl should
take part in, and we have found this year
that all our girls of the college have been
more into athletics than ever before
By 1931 all four classes had their
own teams and in 1933 men had made
their presence onto the ECTC campus
and the beginning of a men's Athletic
Program had taken place.
1931-1932 saw the first men's
basketball team come into existence, and
the team finished 10-10 under coach C.K.
Porter.
In 1932 football appeared for the first
time on the East Carolina University
campus. And so on through the years,
the athletic teams at East Caroina beg n
to build themselves up and realize the
fruits of victory and growth, as well as
the agony of defeat and inexperience.
The remainder of this special Anniversary
section is devoted to these fruits of
growth and inexperience.

BASKETBALL GAMES
Appeared in "The Teco Echo Dec. 19,
1923:
Among the athletic activities, basket-
ball has perhaps aroused most interest.
There has been a number of splendid
games in which both the college and
normal classes have taken part. To
decide who should play in the
Thanksgiving games caused much
excitement and it was only after much
hard work, under the excellent coaching
of Miss Alexander and Mr. Flanagan and
a strenuous game between the Freshmen
and Juniors, that a decision was made.
The two games for the day were between
the C's and D's and between the Juniors
and Sophomores. Although the other
classes could not actually take part in
the playing they sallied forth with an
unlimited degree of good spirit and
sportsmanship, supporting their sister
classes and filling the air with songs and
yells. The score-keepers, Mr. and Mrs.
A.D. Frank, gave the final scores to Mr.
Deal, the referee, who announced them
to the eager spectators
The final scores were as follows: first
game, 15-28. Second game 19-20, with
the Sophomores and D's as victors.
Intercollegiate

THE TECO ECHO MARCH 19, 1932
STUDENT BODY VOTES FOR
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS HERE
In the regular meeting of chapel
on Friday morning Dr. Rebarker, dean of
the coeds on the campus, appealed to
the student body for help in order that
there might be a continuation of the
intercollegiate athletic activities during
the spring quarter. The vote taken was
unanimously in favor of accepting Dr.
Rebarker's proposition that we forego the
privilege of another unscheduled enter-
tainment this term and give this $200 to
the furthering of the baseball team.
Mr. Deal, who showed unlimited
amount of zeal during the basketball
season, has been chosen by the boys as
the sponsor of the baseball team. Thus
far has shown much interest in the
field and shaping of the team into a
group that will be able to represent us as
well as they did in the last quarter.
This is another step towards
inter-school activities for both the boys
and the girls and the faculty members
have pledged their support to furthering
the girls' athletics, as well as to that of
the boys.
Football team
OCTOBER 19, 1932 TECHO ECHO
FOOTBALL PRACTICE NOW
UNDERWAY-COACH HAS BEEN
SELECTED-FIRST GAME OCT. 29
This year ECTC has a football team
practicing every day under Coach Beatty.
Two games have been scheduled. The
first is with Carolina Reserves, to be
played here October 29. The other is with
Guilford, at Guilford, on November 12.
Clyde Brown has been elected manager
of this year's club.
This is the second year that the Men's
Athletic Association has encouraged
intercollegiate sports. Last year a
basketball team which won 50 percent of
its games was put on the floor, it had a
successful year considering the raw
material it worked with.
Kenneth Beatty of Greenville has
been secured as the Athletic coach for
the year. He has had considerable
experience both as a player and as a
coach and has already organized two full
teams in his football squad.
EDITOR'S NOTE: That year was the first
year ever for the ECU-ECTC football
team. The team ended up with a record
of 0-5 and failed to score a single
touchdown.

SEPT. 21,1963
As a capacity crowd of 16,000 looked
on, East Carolina upset Wake Forest with
a resounding 20-10 victory. They spotted
the Deacons the lead twice, but with the
versatile single-wing offensive they took
complete control of the action
Hopeful Deacs could not match the
Pirate offense. The Pirates scored the
last two times they came into possession
in the first half and the first time they
had it in the second to go ahead. There
was no more scoring for Wake Forest
after that, with East Carolina holding the
upper hand.
The Deacs received the opening
kickoff, drove to the Pirate fifteen and
kicked a field goal for a 3-0 lead.
East Carolina recovered a fumble and
Michel scored from the two yard line.
With four minutes in the first half, Wake
Forest held a 10-6 advantage. Bovender
started a drive and East Carolina led
12-10 at the half.
The Pirates took the kickoff and
moved fifty-five yards in thirteen plays
for a touchdown. The Deacs were
crushed 10-10.
A pass to Johnny Anderson was
good for a two point conversion. East
Carolina had a net gain of one hundred
ninety yards rushing and passed for
seventy-one yards.
In the midst of the excitement another
event was also occurring. East Carolina
College dedicated its new 16,000 seat
football stadium as it played the game.
Ground had been broken for the J.S.
Ficklen Memorial Stadium on May 3,
1962. It is named for a Greenville man
who was one of the nation's leading
tabacconists. The stadium is presently
valued at $350,000.00.
Tangerine Bowl
THE EAST CAROLINIAN-TUESDAY
NOVEMBER 17, 1964
East Carolina crushed Presbyterian,
49-8, in their season final before a highly
partisan homecoming crowd to end their
season with an 8-1 record for the second
year in a row.
Dave Alexander, the Southern
Conference scoring leader, led the
Pirates with three touchdowns to bring
his season total to 16. Alexander began
the 20 point eruption in the second
quarter with two touchdowns and
finished the Buc's scoring with his third
TD late in the fourth quarter. Bill Dine
scored a touchdown while passing for
two more.
Cline made the initial score late in the
first quarter when he rolled around his
right end for six yards and the TD. Jerry
To! ley swept the right end for two points
on the fake kick for the point after
touchdown and the Bucs led 8-0.
Alexander scored on the three yard run
up the middle early in the quarter.
Three minutes later he crashed over
his left tackle and went eight yards for
another TD. Two plays later Cline passed
33 yards to Dave Bumgarner for the final
score of the half.
Presbyterian made its lone score in
the third quarter on a drive of 57 yards in
six plays. Garnet Welch recovered an
East Carolina fumble on his 43 yard line
and the Blue Jose scored on the 34 yard
pass from Jack Nox to Richard Reed. The
same two combined for the two point
conversion pass.
Amid all the ceremony of the
homecoming game, the Century Club
presented Coach Clarence Stasavich with
a 1965 Chevrolet for the great job he has
done in leading the Bucs to 8-1 seasons
for the last two years.
The Bucs 49 points was the highest
total of the year and established a new
record for points scored in one season.
The first victory almost assured East
Carolina of a bid to the Tangerine Bowl
with Massachusetts as the probable
opponent.

RALEIGH� Fireworks lighted the sky

Saturday night in an inspiring 31-15
victory over N.C. State's Wolfpack
"football team
At rain soaked Carter Stadium, the
Pirates finally put it all together while
taking State's game apart.
ECU fumbled on its second play from
scrimmage allowing the Pack to score
the game's first touchdown on a one yard
run by Willie Burden.
But aftc that series, which would
ordinarily break the back of some
defenses, the Pirates drove 59 yards for a
score with the final 10 yards coming on a
John Casazza pass to Carl Gordon.
Bob Kilbome added his 13th extra
point in as many tries.
The Pirate defense was strengthened
for the game with the return of team
captain and defensive tackle Rich Peeler
from Shelby.
Peeler played with his elbow taped
heavily to prevent another dislocation.
Even so, he was able to force and recover
a fumble which set up ECU's go-ahead
touchdown.
Les Strayhom scored it on a one foot
plunge but Kilbome missed his first
conversion of the season.
The Pirates made it 20-7 with just 35
seconds to go in the first half an Stray-
hom went over once again from one yard
out and Kilbome was successful with his

Dean James Mallory once coached ECU baseball team
October 30,1960, FountainhMd
Most of the men going into James
Mallory's office do not know that he is
the personificaiton of the national
pastime.
As Dean of Men, Mallory has been
serving for several years. As a baseball
player and coach, he has been in the
field for thirty-two years.
In 1937, Mallory started his career as
a player for the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. By his junior
year, he was co-captain of the baseball
team and on the football team.
In that bygone era, All Americans
were chosen in the summer by playing
members of professional baseball.
tn 1940, Mallory played at Whichita.
Kan. The team finished second in the
nation. Mallory was selected Baseball
Player of the Year and named an All
American.
Because of financial problems,
Mallory turned pro, passing up his last
year of school.
His first season was spent with the
Washington Senators. He started in the
first game after he signed his contract.
"There I was, a poor Carolina boy
playing the first pro game I had ever
seen said Mallory.
This was the beginning of a career
with the Washington Senators, the
Philadelphia Athletics, Saint Louis
Cardinals, and the New York Giants. He
played several farm teams in his time,
too.
Women went to
Nationals in '73
A dream was shattered for East
Carolina last weekend in New York City.
The women's basketball team, which had
gone further and was ranked higher than
just about any other team in the school's
history, was derailed in its bid for the
National Championship.
Western Washington State College
and Kansas State University played the
villain roles as East Carolina lost two of
three games in the tournament at Queens
College.
Thus, the girls who went into the
tournament 18-0 and ranked eighth in the
nation could not improve upon that
rating. Still they finished 19-2, quite a
respectable final record.
In the first round clash against
Washington, EC was plagued by
turnovers and repeated cold shooting
against a team which had won 21 straight
games.
The game was close all the way but
Washington took advantage of several
team fouls against ECU in the final
seconds to record a 55-51 triumph.
Sheilah Cotten led the EC cause with
26 points while Peggy Taylor added eight
points and Susan James contributed six
points and several fine defensive plays.
The loss, their first of the season,
sent the EC girls into the consolation
bracket against Indiana State.
In that second contest, EC played a
more typical game and raced away in the
final four minutes for a 60-49 win. That
game was also close most of the way as
the teams entered the final quarter tied at
41-all.
But Cotton scored nine of her
game-high 23 points in the final quarter
and East Carolina was not to be denied
for the sncond straight time.
James was also a key figure in the
winning effort as she added 11 points
and 10 rebounds. Jean Mobley scored 10
points.
Mallory realized that he was limited to
playing baseball. He prepared to go back
to school.
He got his degree in counseling and
taught at several high schools and
colleges, while coaching baseball.
While at Eton College, Mallory
coached his teams to six Carolina
Conference championships in seven
years.
In 1953, Mallory came to East
Carolina as head baseball coach.
In his first year, Mallory was sick and
Earl Smith coached.
He started the next year on a long
string of victories. In eight years, he
coached six championship teams.
In 1957, Mallory became Dean of Men
The highlight of his career as coach
came in 1961.
His ECC Pirates won the NAIA
national championship, capturing every
award presented, including the Sports-
manship Award. The team boasted three
All Americans and the Most Valuable
Player of the Year.
That same year, Mallory received the
Vill Winne Award. This award was
presented to him as the outstanding
contributor to baseball from North
Carolina.
In 1962, Mallory retired as head coach
to become Dean of Men full time, the job
had grown too much for one man to
handle.
Cagers take trip to NCAA after winning conference
BUCS ARE KINGS;FACE VULANOVA
By DON TRAUSNECK MARCH 9, 1972
GREENVILLE, S.C. � East Carolina Uni-
versity-1972 Southern Conference bas-
ketball champions!
Sounds unreal, like an idle dream.
But it came true Saturday night when
ECU'S "one-second wonders Jim Fairly
and Nicky White, gave the Pirates their
first SC cage title ever�and with it,
their first trip to the NCAA Playoffs.
Fairley scored at the buzzer of
regulation to tie the game and White
scored at the buzzer of the overtime
period as the Pirates edged defending
champion Furman, 77-75.
The win sends the Pirates into the
regionals Saturday night against Villa-
nova (19-6) at Princeton, N.J. Game time
is 8:05 p.m.
Saturday night's win was the
culmination of a very good week for the
ECU basketball team.
With a fifth-place finish still possible,
the girls ran into a fired-up Kansas State
squad and were disappointed, 47-46.
Kansas used numerous ECU turnovers
and three fast breaks to ease to a 15-5
first quarter lead. It was then 22-5 and
24-7 before East Carolina finally caught
the spark.
Playing with its usual dedication, the
squad turned in one of the amazing
comebacks of the tournament and
actually pulled in front in the final
moments of the contest.
However Kansas, the eventual
consolation bracket winner, won the
game in the last 30 seconds.
James had a big part in ECU'S
second-half rally as she scored 12 of her
team-high 18 points in the last 16
minutes. Cotten, who had seven points at
halftime, finished with 12.
Immaculate College of Pennsylvania,
the defending champion, won the
tournament.
Although East Carolina did not win
the National Championship, the Lady
Pirates proved to be one of the
outstanding teams in the nation. Next
year should be another strong one for
coach Catherine Bolton's squad as only
four seniors appear on the roster.
Gone in 1974 will be Mobley, Becky
Atwood, Taylor and Lorraine Rollins, in
addition to team trainer Peggy Bennett
and statistician Sue Powell.
Back to fill their places will be a fine
crop of undergraduates: junior Terry
Ward; sophomores Lollie Edwards, Laura
Kilpatrick, Terry Jones, Myra Modlin, and
Ginny Merrifield, and freshmen Ginny
Deese, Nancy Ellington, Cariene Boyd,
Ellen Garrison, Frances Swenholt and
Gale and Marie Chamblee.
Lea Kemezis and Sue Calveriey, the
team's manager and scorer, respectively,
will also return.
And Cotten is just a sophomore while
James is a freshman, which means the
nucleus of a potent squad will be at East
Carolina for at least two more years.
After suffering their 14th defeat of the
season, 92-57 against N.C. State the
previous weekend, many people figured
the Pirates, with their 11-14 record, were
dead.
But head coach Tom Quinn predicted
that the Pirates would win the
championship. And he and his team
made the prophecy come true as they
beat the Citadel, Davidson and Furman
on three successive days.
The first day it was Dave Franklin who
proved to be the star as he scored 20
points, 16 in the second half, in an 80-71
win over the Citadel.
The following evening, the Bucs
were led by Fairley to their 81-77
semifinal win over Davidson.
In each contest, the Pirates were
behind in the second half by eight points
against the Bulldogs and by seven
against the Wildcats.
ECU tops Carolina on gridiron,

ECU BEATS CAROLINA
NOTHING COULD BE FINER!
ECU ROUTS CAROLINA 38-17!
FOUNTAINHEAD OCTOBER 28, 1975
By JOHN EVANS
Just a day after the death of its great
Athletic Director, Clarence Stasavich,
East Carolina University made more news
on the national scene by upsetting
nationally-known University of North
Carolina, 38-17, on the Tar Heels' home
field.
The master artisan behind the win
was Pirate quarterback Mike Weaver.
After the game, Weaver said that
Stasavich's death had some effect on the
team's play.
"We picked ourselves up and played
this one for him said Weaver. "It was a
feeling of, well like 'winning one for the
Gipper' I guess
And ECU coach Pat Dye also
dedicated the game partly to Stasavich.
"You've got to give a lot of the credit
for this win to the man who passed away
yesterday said Dye. "He had so much
to do with us being able to reach this
point. It's just a shame that he wasn't
here to see it
There is no doubt, either, that if
"Stas" had been alive he would have seen
the same outcome. The score may have
read differently, but the winning team
would have been the same. The victory
was just that solid and convincing.
Dye, himself, had said he had felt the
win as early as the beginning of the
week, but that on Friday night the feeling
had really hit home.
"I guess I just had a premonition
said Dye after the game in the hectic
Pirate dressing room. "Last night when I
sent the managers out to buy boxes of
cigars for the playersI had made up my
mind that we were going to win and the
whole dream came through
Dale Carnegie would have been proud
of coach Dye and the Pirates Saturday
but it is doubtfu! if he would have been
as proud as the over 5,000 fans that
followed the team to Chapel Hill for the
game.
In the words of one fan, "We won a
lot more than a football game today. We
also won respect, power and prestige
from the people at Carolina. We have
finally made up for all these years of
hearing nothing but Carolina
That was only part of the feeling at
Chapel Hill Saturday. The rest of the
feeling, well, you would have had to have
been there to feel it.
First women
scholarships
are awarded
December 4, 1975
For the first time in East Carolina
history, scholarships have been awarded
to women athletes. The scholarships
were awarded to seven athletes from four
of the women's seven sports.
The recipients were Debbie Freeman,
April Ross, Donna Williford, Frances
Swenholt, Gail Betton, Clare Albritton,
and Beverly Osborn. These girts were
awarded the scholarships on the basis of
their outstanding ability in both athletic
rjertormances in college, as well as their
performances in high school.
Of the recipients two are seniors, one-
is a junior, two are sophomores and two
are freshmen. All are athletic scholar-
ships.
The seven scholarships are a step
towards the upgrading of the women's
spa Is programs at ECU, which has seen
the women come under the auspices of
the entire Athletic Department and its
facilities. Catherine Bolton, the coordi-
nator of women's athletics at ECU, said
that she foresees the addition of two
more scholarships in 1976 for tennis and
gymnastics.

State approved ECTC construction in 1907
By BOB WATSON
Staff Writer
A bid of $100,000 In 1907 bought a
School which was to become ECU to
Greenville
Legislation calling for the construc-
tion of a two-year teacher's training
school in the eastern part of the state
was ratified on March 8, 1907. Within two
years East Carolina Teacher's Training
School located in Greenville admitted its
first students.
Ideas for the establishment of such a
school had begun circulating in the early
1900's among superintendents and
principles of public schools from the
eastern part of the state.
These eastern educators felt that the
rural areas of the state, particularly those
of the eastern part of the state, were not
getting enough qualified teachers from
the existing training school in the state.
Legislation calling for the building of
the school was introduced as early as
1906. This legislation called for the
consiruction of the school in Elizabeth
City, but it failed to pass.
In the years that followed the cause
was kept alive and agitation continued
until the establishment of an eastern
located teacher's training school became
a political issue involving the old
east-west division of the state.
As the idea spread, the possibility of
the legislation passing the next time it
was presented increased. One town after
another began to see the advantages of
having the college located in it.
When the legislation came up again in
1907 there were eight towns trying to get
the school located in them. The bill
passed in 1907 but made no mention of
the location of the school.
One of the towns which had become
very interested in getting the school was
Greenville. The city had enlisted the
efforts of its leading citizen, ex-Governor
Thomas J. Jarvis. He promised the
citizens, "If you do as I say, I'll get the
school for you
The bill of 1907 stated the purpose of
the school as "a teacher's training school
for young white men and women its
object, "to give young men and women
such an education and training as shall
fit and qualify them for teaching in the
public schools of North Carolina
The original appropriations for the
school as set up by the bill were $15,000
for the purpose of erecting and equipping
the buildings. $5,000 a year was included
to maintain the school. But there was an
important inclusion in the bill. It was that
the town which was awarded the location
of the school was to pay at least $25,000
for the construction of the buildings.
After the legislation passed each
interested town submitted its bid on the
amount it would be willing to contribute
for the construction. It was on this part
of the bill that the citizens of Greenville
decided to base their bid.
At a meeting of the steering
committee that had been organized by
the town, Jarvis announced that
Greenville should make a bid of $100,000.
The members of the committee were
shocked, but they did as Jarvis said.
The $100,000 bid was presented to the
State Board of Education and Greenville
v s promptly awarded the school. A 47
and a half acre piece of land was
purchased on the eastern outskirts of
town to build the school on.
On July 2, 1908 the first ground was
broken by Jarvis. He moved the first
shovelful of dirt of the first building to be
started. It was to become a dormitory
named Jarvis Hall.
The building progressed rapidly. On
June 11, 1909 Robert H. Wright was
chosen to be president of oie school. His
salary was to be $2,500 annually and his
living quarters were to be provided. The
quarters were an apartment located in the
men's dormitory.
With Wright as president on October
5, 1909, East Carolina Teacher's Training
School opened its first regular session.
The program offered was a two year
teacher's degree.
One hundred and seventy-four
students enrolled that first year and 330
enrolled for the year's summer session.
The total enrollment for the year was 462.
The faculty consisted of ten teachers and
Wright, the president.
Two years later the school produced
its first graduates. There were eleven in
that first graduating class.
PAPERS
Continued from page 1.
The "East Carolina Teachers College
News" was in operation for two years
from October 1923 to June 1925. In 1925
"The Teco Echo" began operation.
The January 30 issue of "The Teco
News" is one of the earliest papers on
file in Joyner Library's Document section.
The Teco Echo was a big improvement
over the old 'News The Teco Echo
was a tabloid published bi-weekly by the
Student Government Association of
ECTC.
The "News" was a newsletter
without advertisements. The Teco Echo
was more professional. Besides adds,
The Teco Echo had editorials, campus
notes, an athletic section, a joke section,
and features.
Advenisers i as Blount-Harvey
Co. and J.C. Penny Co. bought space to
sell their goods to the all girl ECTC
population back in 1926. Carolina Shoe
Store advertised reasonable rates for the
COED that needs a variety of shoes:
"Hiking boots for field trips, oxfords for
the campus, slippers for teas and
afternoons in town, and of course party
slippers
The election of Fannie Lowe as May
Queen made front page news for the
January 30 issue of The Teco Echo. It
was reported that Fannie 'Is a slender
blonde of medium height and well
measures up to the requirements of a
May Queen According to the
requirements listed for May Queen,
Fannie was selected because she: "had
an active part in Y.W.C.A. activities, was
a good all around girl, had a pleasing
personality and was fairly attractive, and
had a dear student government record
An editorial in an early issue of The
Teco Echo praised emergence of
female equality. In words of Editor in
Chief Deanie B. Haskett:
"Seldom In the course of human events
does a man's organization call on a
woman and especially a young oie to
speak to it. We don't know why this is
so. Maybe they think a man can do it
better or maybe they don't. Any way they
don't. So the college should feel very
proud of the fact that it has within its
walls a girl who was so fortunate as to
be asked to conduct a meeting for the
Men's FederationSally Cheek
Some,emphasis was put on athletics
by the Teco Echo back in 1926.
Under the heading "Athletics" the
requirements for a ECTC college letter
were listed. A coed needed to earn 450
points per year to earn a letter. Some of
the more interesting point winning
activities were:
�Original song or yell, 15 points.
-No candy between meals, 1 point per
immL
-6 glasses of water per day, 1 point
-Cold Bath daily, 1 point per week.
-Fresh Hose daily 1 point per week.
-Well Ventilation in room, 1 point per
OTWVm
-Shampoo 2 per month, 1 point per
month.
Over the past fifty years college
newspapers have improved along with
regular papers. The Teco Echo was this
school's first student publication-the
building block for the newspapers that
followed the East Carolinian and the
Fountainhead.
LEADERS
Continued from page 1.
On January 14, 1960 the East
Carolinian headlines read. MESSICK
RESIGNS;NEWS SHAKES CAMPUS. Dr.
Messick resigned the presidency to
become assistant director of the National
Committee on Special Education and
Rehabilitation, in Washington, D.C. The
reasons for Messick's sudden resignation
was a "series of jisappointments over
pressures applied during his quest to
gain financial support for the College
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins was nominated in
January of 1960 to replace the vacant
position.
Before coming to ECTC, Dr. Jenkins
taught Political Science at Montclair St.
College in New Jersey, where the former
president Dr. Messick came from.
Jenkins was also assistant to the
Commissioner for Higher Education in
the New Jersey State Department of
Education. He graduated from Rutgers
university with a B.S Columbia
University (M.A.), and New York
University (Ed.d).
The Student Government Association
fully endorsed Dr. Jenkins for the
presidency and passed a formal
legislation in the Student Senate giving
student support. "We feel that Dr. Leo
W. Jenkins is both qualified and able to
fill the vacancy created by Dr. Messick's
resignation. As Dean of the College for
President of East Carolina College he will
guide it through a new and historic era of
educational progress. We therefore
endorse Dr. Leo W. Jenkins for the
Presidency of East Carolina College
Dr. Jenkins was obviously elected to
the Presidency and in keeping with the
SGA resolution, Jenkins has led the
present East Carolina University through
"a new and historic era of educational
progress .

ENTERTAINMENT
Ted Nugent's album
is high energy rock
By ROGER WHiTSON
Ted Nugent's new record, entitled
simply enough - Tad Nugent, on
Epic-CBS has got to be classified as
electric-energy rock at its best. Nugent's
cold steel precision and overwhelming
power is reminiscent of Jimmy Paige
and Ritchie Blackmore at their best. The
song titles themselves remind one of the
"electric avenue" days of the late 60's
rockers.
"Stranglehold opening song on side
one, is an outstanding example of
Nugent's "no nonsense" approach. "Here
I come again now baby, like a dog in
heat screams Nugent and it is already
obvious he takes his music seriously.
Backed by Cliff Davies on drums, Rob
Grange on bass and Derek St. Holmes with
excellent rhythm guitar - second lead
work, Nugent's straight-ahead bull-dozer
style is well supported and expanded
upon, producing a closely Knit, precise,
calculated driving steel sound. Nugent
literally explodes with mind-warping
guitar energy and Davie's drum work is
indescribable.
The second cut immediately grabs
you by the throat. "Stormtroopin the
title an indicator of what's ahead, offers
a superb Nugent-St. Holmes dual-lead
exposition that could only be described
as America's answer to the Great British
muscle rockers.
"Hey Baby" is the LPs finest tune.
Rob Grange's excellent bass work makes
it difficult to remain unmoved. Its
American boogie, USDA inspected Grade
A. "Hey baby jump in the back of my car,
I'm gonna kiss and hug you and move yo'
heart an electric personification of the
American dream. The four man electric
band, considered anachronistic by manv
modem critics, is proven to be alive and

more than holding its own.
The next cut, "Just What the Doctor
Ordered features Nugent wailing, "I've
found the cure for my body and soul, I
got me an overdose of rock n' roll
Nugent spreads the rare disease to
epidemic proportions. CAREFUL: SHEER
ELECTRIC ENERGY CONTAGIOUS.
Side Two opens with "Snake Skin
Cowboys "Oooh snake skin cowboys,
who the hell do you think you areyou
ain't got nothing on me is an obvious
attack on the scores of new
country-rockers carried through with
simple old-style electric precision, no
frills. The victory is Nugent's.
"Motor City Madhouse the title a
tribute to the old Detroit blues men and
hard-core rockers, is an electric orgy of
driving guitar and percussion. The
chorus, "Motor City Madhouse" is
insanely screamed at you through one of
America's gutsiest sound systems, the
result is mind destructive.
The third song on this side, "Where
Have You Been All My Life is about as
romantically sentimental as the black
leather and cold steel producing it.
Nugent has no room for either soft
sentiment or soft guitar work. Nugent
offers you his best to date - love it or
leave it.
"Cruising down the highway of life so
long, I barely know my name" - the
openings lyrics of "You Make Me Feel
Right at Home" set the mood for this
Nugent travel tune. Nugent drives
straight for that vast desert between your
ears.
"Queen of the Forest" closes the LP
with another dose of Nugent's
Guaranteed Electric Elixir of Life. Nugent
dumps truckloads of sheer musical
energy into your mind throughout this
entire album. Ted Nugent � America's
answer to the energy crisis.

Michael Murphey here tonight
Michael Murphey's recognition as a
singer, songwriter, and guitarist has
tremendously increased in the last few
years. A cot pie of his past songs made
the charts, "Geronimo's Cadillac" and
"Cosmic Cowboy but it wasn't until the
summer of 1975, with the success of his
single, "Wildfire that he became
well-known. "Wildfire" stayed on the top
for months, which caused his fourth
album, Blue Sky - Night Thunder, to sell
fast.
Like his music, Murphey is of
independent spirit and pioneer determin-
ation - his rise to mass acceptance was
very much his own doing. He observes a
much wider horizon, absorbing new
inspirations for the future.

Social science grads enter limited job market
EDITORS NOTE: This Is the third in a
series of articles on job opportunities for
ECU graduates.
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
In social sciences, if you're good your
particular tag becomes less important,
according to Herbert Paschal, chairman
of the department of History.
Paschal's comment is justified by the
different social sciences department
chairmen as they reflect on the job
market for social science Graduates
PSYCHOLOGY
In general, at the bachelors level, not
many opportunities for employment as a
psychologist exist, according to Charles
C. Mitchell, chairman of the department
of the psychology department.
The state and federal governments are
hiring psychologists as analysts to
handle statistical and psychological data.
The government is also hiring osycholo-
gists as research assistants. But these
jobs are limited.
However, the job situation on the
masters level is much better.
"For ECU graduates, we cannot
supply the demand for masters in clinical
and school psychology Mitchell said.
"We definitely have more jobs than
people
"The clinical psychologist works in
mental health centers and hospitals as
psychological evaluators and therapists
"The school psychologist works in
school systems conducting evaluations
and consultations with teachers and
administrators They work with
children's emotional problems and help
teachers to tailor education for students
with certain disabilities
Most masters' candidates in the
general psychology program plan to
obtain their doctorate. However, some go
into teaching and administrative posi-
tions in mental health and corrections
departments.
Some doctorates go into industry
which is a tight job market for
psychologists.
"For the Ph.D"s the job market is very
tight except in the applied areas such as
counseling, school, and clinical said
Mitchell.
About one-third of ECU'S masters
graduates continue for their doctorates.
"If you want to really get ahead in
Psychology get a doctorate exclaimed
Mitchell.
ECU'S psychology department has 150
majors.
SOCIOLOGY
Recent government reports show that
the demand for Sociologists and
Anthropologists will go up, discussed
John Maiolo, chairman of the department
of sociology.
"Prospects are good because the
number of jobs that sociologists perform
are expanding he continued. "For
example, the federal government is
beginning to hire sociologists for
administrative positions, and for research
positions.
"As the country continues its trend on
environmental programs, the demand will
continue in S-A health related fields. The
health related fields offer the greatest
opportunity for sociologists and anthro-
pologists
Besides the better known teaching
jobs, and research positions that
anthropologists are usually associated
with, anthropologists also work in
archaeology.
"In anthropology, there are no good
measures of demand said Maiolo. "But,
with government hiring, and with
community agencies becoming more
prevalent, more jobs will open up
In 1973, there were 1,067 Ph. Ds in
sociology, and that was not enough,
according to Maiolo. People who are
being told that there are no jobs are
being misled.
"Although survival doesn't depend on
the doctorate or the masters degree, the
higher degree helps Maiolo continued.
The Sociology department has been
pushing the higher degrees, but there are
jobs at the bachelors level.
In a large state university, a study
was done on that school's sociology
graduates. The study, done on the
graduates between 1970 through 1974
inclusively showed that 99 percent of the
graduates had jobs. Most did not stay
with their first job.
Also, of those with jobs, 63 percent
left the state.
Maiolo is currently conducting a
similar follow up report on ECU
sociology graduates. This is his first year
as chairman of the department.
ECU has 40 sociology majors, and 40
anthropology majors.
HISTORY
History graduates have felt the pinch,
said department chairman Herbert
Paschal, but not more thai any other
department.
History graduates are not affected by
the invention of new machines because
this is not what their education entails.
Rather, their education centers on
developing an ability to cope according
to Paschal.
"Because of their ability to cope,
historians wind up everywhere

"A significant number of our people
go into the managerial pool said
Paschal. Civil service and private
business also offer opportunities for
history graduates.
"The teacher market is jammed.
Employment for graduate students is
worse than it has been.
History students go in graduate and
law schools, and communications work
said Paschal. All of these are crowded.
The mediocre student is having a much
harder time than he used to have.
To offset the effect of a bleak job
market for historians wanting to be
teachers, the history department is
offering study in other areas historians
generally pursue.
The department is offering study in
historic sites development and museums.
They are also offering a field work course
utilizing the Tryon Palace in New Bern.
"This is a good time to stay in
school said Paschal. Nothing bothers
me more than to hear that we are over
educating our young people. It is the
most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
"People who are better trained are
more likely to get better jobs
Although Paschal sees each degree
area in history as crowded, he says the
history major is as well off as other
social science majors.
Two bachelors degrees along with two
masters degrees are offered in the
department. The department has about
200 majors.
POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is not a professional
idjor, rather it is a liberal arts major,
according to William F. Troutman, Jr
chairman of the political science
department.
Political science graduates go into
business, civil service, law, journalism,
and teaching, according to Troutman.
The teacher's job market is t'ght. For
this reason, in its two undergraduate
degrees, the department stresses a
liberal arts approach, while professiona-
lism is secondary, said Troutman.
"This gives a program for those going
into civil service, social work and public
administration. "It certainly pays the
student who majors in political science
to become proficient in the use of
computers, as well as foreign language
"Relative to the other social sciences
areas, the job market in political science
is not tight. It is improving as the
economy is improving. However, not
everybody who steps out will get a job.
While in school the student must prepare
himself so that he will become
indispensible
Eighty eight majors are in the political
science department, which offers two
undergrad degrees,and a master of arts
degree.
MATHEMATICS
Not many people qualify to study
mathematics, according to Tullio
Pignani, chairman of the department of
math which has 57 majors.
"To be a math major, you must be a
disciplinarian within yourself said
Pignani.
Math majors appear to be facing an
excellent job market.
"There is no question about it there is
a demand for math graduates Pignani
said. "About 98 percent of our graduates
are getting jc js they want
These jobs are in business firms,
industry, banking, computer services
firms, and the federal government.
"The job market is not crowded at all
for undergraduates said Pignani.
However, there are too many Ph.Ds
in certain areas such as algebra, and
topology

grees, and two masters degrees,
according to Pignani, the department
believes the math graduate has a wide
variety of opportunity that he can render
his services to, more so than any other
discipline.
STUDENTS OPINION
Mike Kincer, a senior math major, is
having extremely good success job
hunting.
"I had the impression that there are
no jobs, but after some job hunting, I
was shocked to find out different said
Kincer, who started college in 1968, but
quit and went to join the Air Force.
Before going to the Air Force, Kincer
maintained a 1.9 average while in school.
However, since returning to school after
four years of service, he has been on the
dean's list every quarter.
"I got the impression from the
business employers I have seen that the
job market is not as bad as some people
think it is.
Competition is stiffer, but the jobs
are still there, said Kincer. A college
degree now gives the student the ball to
carry.
"I don't have to jump for chances he
said. "I can tell from interviews with
prospective employers that I am there to
look at them as much as they are there
to look at me.
"The employer is not conducting
interviews to waste time.

Overpass feasibility study continues
By RANOY STALLS
Staff Writer
A feasibility study on a proposed
pedestrian overpass across Tenth Street
at the bottom of College Hill Drive was
conducted by the Highway Ranning and
Research branch of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation in Decem-
ber 1974.
According to Clifford Moore, vice
chancellor of Business Affairs, "Money is
the problem, and in the last information
received from the North Carolina
Department of Transportation the project
has been delayed due to unavailable
resources Moore conceded that there is
definitely a problem of vehicle and
pedestrian congestion.
Charles Atkins, assistant to T. L.
Waters of Ranning and Research, stated,
"The feasibility study concluded that the
overpass was a reasonable project
The staff, after approving the
overpass, submitted it to the Ranning
Program Committee which consists of
members of the Board of Transportation,
appointed by the governor. The Ranning
Program Committee concluded that the
project was not possible at that time.
"The project was not especially rejected
but rather held-over until around April
when the Planning Program Committee
reviews the years projects said Atkins.
Atkins concluded that just because the
project was approved by the staff it does
not mean that the project will be
necessarily approved by the Ranning
Program Committee.
The Reade Street crossing to
downtown Greenville is another likely
place of accidents involving pedestrian
students and vehicles. A proposed
overpass there seems to be at a
standstill. The City of Greenville
proposed to the University to build the
overpass at a 50-50 sharing of the cost.
"State funds cannot be used to build an
overpass which goes directly into a
shopping center said Moore. (George-
town) Joe Laney, head of the Greenville
Redevelopment Commission said, "If the
University could contribute in some way
we are open for discussion. We are not
trying to channelize students into stores,
but it makes practical sense from a
safety point of view to put students
across on an overpass
The overpass situation at present
looks grim and possibly more accidents
of serious nature will arouse action. Joe
Caulder, director of ECU Campus
Security, emphasizes that "The conges-
tion at the bottom of the hill is definitely
a major problem
Parking lot breakins are reported on campus
By RICHARD DROGOS
Staff Writer
Parking lot thefts are on the increase
here at ECU.
James Owens, a student at ECU,
observed a man walking around the day
student parking lot Thursday and
reported it to the campus police.
"He was looking into the cars so I
decided to wait and see if he actually
broke into one said Owens. "He had
entered the parking lot through the
woods so I figured he must be up to
something
Owens said he drove around the block
and came back to see if the man was still
there. He saw the man still looking into
the cars so he reported the incident to
the campus police.
Situations of this type are becoming
commonplace on campus. The campus
police were unable to do anything to the
man Owens saw because they had no
evidence that showed he had broken into
the car.
"Articles such as C.B. radios, tapes
and tape decks are the mainstay of the
thiefs in the parking lots said Francis
Eddings, Chief of Police Matters here at
ECU.
"Tapes are highly negotiable items
and can be very easily taken out of a
vehicle. The damage to the vehicle itself
is usually more than the actual
merchandise stolen.
"Time is no problem for the thief, it
usually takes about a minute for the
article to be removed from the car said
Eddings.
There were no available statistics at
the police station but Eddings told this
reporter that the thefts were not
consistent enough for statistics.
"The thefts usually run in cycles.
Some months we may have several
break-ins and other months we may not
get any reports.
"We work hard at trying to stop these
offenders but there is no set time that we

we don't exist.

can watch for the break-ins said
Eddings.
"These types of thefts are ones we
call thefts of opportunity. Students who
leave their cars open are inviting thiefs to
take what they please and there really is
no way to catch the offenders because of
the time element involved said Eddings.
When the police do catch someone
breaking into a car they will take the
necessary action themselves. Eddings
could not give specifics as to what may
happen to the offenders.
"The penalties vary from case to case,
judges always consider the thiefs' past
records, his age and other things that
come into play before any sentence is
handed down said Eddings.
"If students will take the necessary
time to see that their cars are properly
secured then they will never have lo worry
about this serious problem

ECU swims to eleventh SC title
Pirates take
91 -86 win
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
East Carolina got some fine individual
performances out of some of its players
Saturday night and raced to a 91-86
come-from-behind win over Georgia
Southern.
The Pirates were led on offense by Al
Edwards and Earl Gamer, as well as new
faces Wade Henkel and Billy Dineen.
Edwards and Gamer were as hot as
pistols from the floor as they scored 19
and 16 points. Edwards at nine for 11 for
the game, and Gamer hit for eight of ten
shots, to lead a 54.1 percent shooting
night for East Carolina.
The Pirates needed that hot
evening, as Georgia Southern shot over 50
percent for the game and 57.1 in the first
half to stay even with East Carolina most
of the game.
"I've never seen anything to beat the
way everybody makes shots they have to
make against us said ECU'S Dave
Patton after the game. "We just can't
have an easy game. We play a good
game and still have to play crazy to win
The Pirates led at the half, by 42-37,
but fell behind by 59-53 with 12 minutes
to play.
East Carolina fought back, though,
and outscored Southern by a 9-2 count
over the next three minutes. The Pirates
took the lead for good with 9:01 left in
the game, by a 62-61 score.
"We got down in the second half and
could have quit, but we didn't said
Patton. "Instead, we hung in there and
came back. I am real proud of the guys
for that
After they took the lead, it w
Henkel and Dineen who came into the
spotlight, as each player played probably
his best game of the year.
Henkel came off the bench to spell
the regulars and wound up with 16 points,
seven rebounds, three blocked shots and
made only one turnover in 25 minutes of
playing time. He was six of ten from the
floor and four of five from the free-throw
stripe.
It was at the free throw stripe that
ECU won the game, and that was where
-�en made his contribution.
Pirates hit on 17 of 19 free throws
for 89.u percent and most of those free
throws came over the final three minutes,
when the Pirates went into the four
corners, with Dineen at the point. The
Pirates' last 11 points of the game came
from the free-throw line, as Dineen made
eight-of-eight from the line.
"I was pleased with the way we ran
the four-comers offense over the final
three minutes said Patton. "Billy
Dineen really stepped up in there and
made those pressure free throws
East Carolina went into the four
corners with 3:05 left in the game. At
that time, the Pirates held a 80-73 lead.
The Pirates hit five of six foul shots,
Dineen and Louis Crosby two and Reggie
Lee one, to go in front by 85-73 with
2:22 left.
Dineen hit on the Pirates' final six
free throws down the stretch to keep the

RICHMOND, VA. � East Carolina's
swim team breezed to its eleventh
straight Southern Conference Swimming
and Diving Championships here last
weekend.
The Pirates won by 300 points over
the Furman Paladins, who placed sixth in
last year's meet. Ray Scharf's swimmers
won 13 of the 16 swimming events.
The top ECU swimmer was Ross
Bohlken. Bohlken, who was named the
championship's Outstanding Swimmer,
finished first in the 100 and 200
freestyle and swam on the winning 400
and 800 freestyle relay teams.
"I was real pleased with our
performance on Saturday said Scharf.
"After slipping a bit on Friday and not
winning three events, I thought we came
back real well.
"We had some swimmers who came
down with the flu after we got here and
we were not as strong as usual in the
shorter events, which are the ones we
got beat in on Friday
Two other swimmers besides Bohlken
came through with double victories for
ECU. Stewart Mann won the 200
backstroke and 200 Individual Medley,
the second in conference record time.
Steve Ruedlinger won the 100 and 200
meter butterfly events. Mann was also a
member of the winning 800 freestyle
relay and 400 medley relay teams.
Ruedlinger also swam on the 400 medley
relay team.
John McCauley finished first in the 50
freestyle and swam on the 400 medley
and 400 freestyle relay teams. John
Tudor won the 500 freestyle and swam on
the winning 800 freestyle relay and 400
freestyle relay teams.
David Kirkman won the 200
breaststroke and swam on the 400
medley relay and Doug Brindley won the
1650 freestyle event in a conference
record time.
The Pirates broke eight conference
records in all. The new marks included:
Bohlken in the 200 freestyle, the 800
relay team, Tudor in the 500 freestyle,
Mann in the 200 IM, and 400 medley relay
team, Brindley in the 650 free, Bohlken in
the 100 free, and the 400 freestyle relay
team.
Scharf now looks towards the Eastern
Regionals, and he is hoping the Pirates
will be ready for the meat.
"All the other teams wen shaved and
psyched up for the mast, which I
expected. The other teams were much
better than last year and swam much
stronger. I only hope we get it all
together in two weeks for the Eastern
Regionals
Furman's Pete Anderson was selected
as the Outstanding Coach in the meet, as
his Paladins climbed four places over last
year's finish.

Second half rally tames Catamounts
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
East Carolina University's basketball
team pulled a complete turnaround last
night, coming from 17 points behind in
the first half to down the Western
Carolina Catamounts, 75-62.
The Pirates played what was probably
their best second half of the year and
held Western Carolina to only 19 points
in the entire second half.
"This is undoubtedly the best win that
we have had all year said an elated ECU
coach Dave Patton. "We did just a
tremendous job. Everyone we put in there
did the job. We played like we wanted it
tonight and we beat a good basketball
team
The Pirates started out by playing
anything but good basketball, as Western
sprinted to a 33-16 with 8:14 left in the
first half. The ECU team failed to quit,
though, and buckled down after a
time-out to play better basketball.
The inspired and hustling play of
Wade Henkel and Louis Crosby led the
Pirates back to within eight at the half,
even though they only scored six points
between them. The two played so
aggresively that it generated to the entire
team and ECU rallied to trail by only
43-35 at the half.
"I think it was the final eight minutes
in the half that made the difference. In
my mind, that had to be the turning
point. We were down by 17 points, but
fought back to eight. That mm really
great effort said Patton.
The effort the team displayed in the
latter part of the first half carried over
into the second half, when the Pirates
outshot the Cats by a 51.4 to 26.7 from
the field in the second half.
The second half comeback was led by
Reggie Lee, Crosby, and Larry Hunt, but
was an entire team effort.
Lee hit for 10 of 13 shots for the
game, and finished with 23 points, 14 in
the second half, before fouling out with
1:14 left in the game.
Crosby scored only four points in the
second half, but his ball handling was
superb, as he passed and dribbled the
Catamount defense to shreds.
Hunt pulled down eight rebounds and
scored six points after a lackluster first
half, but his defensive heroics actually
did not show in the final stats.
The two players who were probably
overlooked the most, though, were the
two playing their final regular season
home games - Seniors Al Edwards and
Earl Gamer.
Gamer finished as the game's high
scorer with 24 points and, along with
Crosby, he played the entire game.
Gamer also added eight rebounds.
In short, it was a team performance.
Dave Patton expressed the feeling well,
when he said, "I really hope that we
won't be here for Registration Day on
March 4
March 4 is the day the Southern
Conference finals will be played
in Greenville, S.C. If the Pirates play the
way they have in the last two games
against Western and Georgia Southern,
they may have to pick up their schedules
late.
ECU wrestlers ready to defend title
When the Southern Conference
wrestling championships get started this
weekend in Charleston, S.C. the East
Carolina wrestlers will be after their fifth
straight conference title.
With four defending champions back
from last year the chances are pretty
good that ECU will make it five in a row.
ECU coach John Welbom thinks the
nationally-ranked Pirates have a good
chance to do so.
"We will be going after our fifth
straight title said Welbom, "and if we
wrestle up to our capabilities we stand a
real good chance of accomplishing it
The four returning conference
champions for East Carolina are Tom
Marriott, a three-time SC champ, at 142
pounds, Paul Thorp at 150 pounds, Ron
Whitcomb at 177, and two-time
conference champion Mike Radford in the
190 pound class.
Whitcomb has a season record of 26-1
and Radford stands at 23-2. In addition
to these four champions, Welborn
considers his 167 pound wrestler, Phil
Mueller, as the favorite in his weight
class. Mueller has a record of 21-2 this
year.
mmm
When one considers ECU has romped
past all four of its Southern Conference
opponents this year, it would seem that
the Pirates would take the title with no
trouble. ECU'S biggest challenge to the
title is thought to be William & Mary,
who the Pirates i dr�jpped 36-3 earlier in
the year.
Welbom, however, is cautious of that
win over the Indians earlier in the year,
and he said he is not taking the
tournament lightly.
William & Mary will be our toughest
competition said Welbom. "We beat
them 36-3 in a dual meet, but that was
misleading. We had a tight match with
State and they lost by only one point to
them. They also beat the University of
Maryland, which has a good team.
"They have a good team and if we
don't wrestle to our capabilities, they
may sneak by and beat us
As far as the rest of the conference is
concerned, Welbom said there are several
good individual men, but that William
and Mary should be the top team.
"The other schools have some
outstanding wrestlers. Richmond has two
good wrestlers, the Citadel will have the
iifiMii i m iBiimwn mil mm
top seed at 158 in Mike Regner, VMI will
have the top-seeded heavyweight and the
second-seeded wrestlers in the 177 and
190 pound classes, Appalachian has a
real good kid, Arthur Ash at 190 pounds,
who has finished second to Mike Radford
the last two years, and a good kid in
Dennis France at 142 pounds. I don't
know anything about Davidson, but they
should be the weakest of the teams in
the tournament. The 158 and 190 pound
classes will be the most competitive
Furman began the year with a team,
but is not expected to take part in the
conference tournament.
In William and Mary, Welbom sees a
team with several fine wrestlers. Leading
the Indians is conference champion Jim
Hicks. Hicks was the Indians' only victor
in the dual meet, as he beat Paul Osman,
10-3, in the 134 pound spot. For the
conference tournament, though, Welbom
is looking for Osman to get down to 126
pounds, and for Tim Gaghan to
compete in the 134-pound class This
would give Osman a better chance to win
at the 126-pound class, where Hicks was
the conference champion last year.
Osman, however, could wrestle at 134

Behind Freeman's 100
Lady Pirates take three weekend victories
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
FARMVILLE, VA. - Debbie Freeman
returned to form last weekend to score
100 points in the three games for the
East Carolina Lady Pirates' basketball
team, and lead them to three weekend
victories
Freeman, who had slumped a little
over the last few games, served notice to
opponents in the NCAIAW State
tournament March 4-6 that she would be
ready, as she hit on 46 of 82 field goal
tries in the three wins
The Lady Pirates defeated Campbell
College by 80-71 on Thursday,
Randolph-Macon College by 7968 on
Friday, and Longwood College on
Saturday by an 82-67 count. The three
wins extended the team's winning streak
to four games and upped the season
record to 11-4. ECU has now won 11 of
its last 12 games.
Thompson, Garrison play well
Even though Freeman was by far the
standout performer for the Pirates over
the weekend, she was aided greatly by
the play of Rosie Thompson, Ellen
Garrison and a fine East Carolina bench.
Thompson scored 52 point �pd
controlled 43 rebounds for the Pirate in'
the three games. Against Randolph-
Macon and Longwood, Garrison contri-
buted clutch outside shooting when the
Pirates needed it most.
Against Longwood, Freeman enjoyed
her best game of the three, as she made
15 of 24 shots from the floor to lead the
offense.
In the Longwood game, the ladies
struggled with the hosts for 30 minutes
before they ran off a string of 17 straight
points midway through the second-half
and rolled to a 78-58 lead with three
minutes left.
The two teams traded the lead in the
first half until Longwood climbed to a
26-20 lead with nine minutes to play.
ECU, however, fought back little by little
to take the lead at 30-28 before
Longwood moved back in front.
The Pirates tied the game just before
the half, when Garrison drilled home a 20
foot set shot to knot the game at 39-39
all.
Second half turns tide
In the second half, as they have done
all year, the ECU women made a different
game of it.
It remained tight early in the half,
with Longwood pulling in front at one
point by 52-51 with 1330 to play. After
Thompson put ECU 3head on a drive the
full length of the court for a twisting
layup, the Lady Pirates never trailed
again.
ECU then burst loose for 17 points
over a seven minute period, while holding
the Longwood team to none.
The spurt stretched ECU'S lead to 20
at 80-60 and allowed the ECU reserves to
play the final three minutes.
ECU scored but one basket over the
final two and a half minutes, by Senior
Brenda Dai I, as the Longwood ladies
fought back to within 13.
Longwood's leading scorer was Sue
Rama with 27 points.
ECU shot 46 percent for the game and
outrebounded Longwood by 48-36.
Thompson led rebounding with 14
carooms and Susan Manning and
Freeman added nine rebounds each.
36
Against Randolph-Macon the game
evolved into a shooting match between
Freeman and Randolpb-Macon's Sylvia
Bailey. Freeman won the contest and
ECU won the game, 79-68.
Freeman scored 36 points for the
Lady Pirates, hitting on 16 of 29 floor
shots and all four of her free throws.
Bailey scored 31, with 18 of her points
coming in the first half.
ECU staggered through most of the
first half, but was able to grab a 33-30
halftime lead, with a 12-6 stretch over the
final six minutes of the half
During that stretch, Garrison connect-
ed on three straight shots and assisted
on a fourth basket to lead the East
Carolina comeback.
In the second half, Freeman went to
work. Hitting on 10 of 15 shots, Freeman
poured in 22 points, while the
ECU defense held Bailev to 13 points.
Freeman hit four shots early in the
half, and Garrison and Thompson each
added a score to put ECU ahead by 45-40
over the Maconettes. A short lapse by
ECU, though, allowed R-M to rally and
tie the score at 55-55.
At this time, ECU ran off a 16-2
stretch against the Maconettes to clinch
the victory.
The streak started with two baskets
by Freeman and a layup by Thompson off
a pass from Freeman. This put ECU on
top by 61-55.
Garrison then countered a R-M basket
with one of her patented 15 footers and
Freeman hit for a rare four-point play,
with a layup and two free throws after a
deliberate foul was called. Marie
Chamblee and Freeman then stretchedthe
lead to its largest margin of the game,
71-57, with 325 to play.
After the two minute mark, ECU
coach Catherine Bolton cleared the
bench, pulling Freeman from the game
just three points shy of the school single
game scoring record.
Women's JV break record
FARMVILLE Va�East Carolina's Wom-
en's Junior Varsity finally put it all
together Saturday afternoon against
Ferrum Junior College.
The Jayvee Lady Pirates, who lost
their first five games of the year, romped
past Ferrum by a 101-56 score.
The Junior Ladies took the lead early
in the first half and pushed to a 43-24
halftime advantage
Behind Jean Evans' 20 points in the
second half, the Jayvees exploded for 58
points while holding the luckless Ferrum
roundballers to just 32 points.
The Lady Jayvees never led by less
than 19 in the second half, but did not
begin to pour it on until they reeled off
16 straight points to build u 78-42 lead
with 9:39 to play
After that point, the Baby Bucs
steadily increased their lead to 92-52 with
354 to play, then 95-54 with 250 to play.
The Juniors finally broke the century
mark when Janet Bunch sank a short
drive shot at the buzzer.
The 101 points topped the previous
high of 91 set by the Women's varsity
earlier this year and the 58 points in the
second half was also an ECU high.
Evans finished as the Jayvees' high
scorer with 26 points and Belinda Byrum
added 22 points. Bunch, with 10 points,
and Rhonda Cotten and Marsha Person,
with nine points, also led the ECU
scoring, as coach Laurie Arrants used
two complete teams back and forth
during ihe game.
On Friday, the Jayvees downed the
Longwood Jayvees, 69-65
The wins upped the Junior Varsity
record to 3-6 with their last game on
Wednesday against North Carolina State.
Bolton's move, however, allowed the
ECU subs to get in some well-deserved
playing time. Dail, as she would do on
Saturday, hit for the final points of the
game on Friday night, w.th seven
seconds left.
Besides Freeman, Thompson added
18 points and 14 rebounds for the Pirates
and Garrison finished with ten points for
the night.
Campbell easy victory
On Thursday night, the ECU team
breezed to an 80-71 win over Campbell
College. In the win Bonon cleared the
bench and substituted heavily in the
second half, thus allowing Campbell to
make the score look respectable.
Freeman led the Pirates with 33
points, scoring 27 points in the first half.
She also added 21 rebounds for the
team. Thompson added 18 points and 15
rebounds for ECU and Frances Swenholt
came off the bench to finish as the third
highest ECU scorer, with eight points.
The three wins and the chance to play
the subs will benefit the Lady Pirates in
the next two weeks, as they meet
Western Carolina and Appalachian State
in Raleigh next weekend before traveling
to Chapel Hill for the state NCAIAW
tournament. The games with WCU and
ASU will have a great deal to do with the
Lady Pirates' seeding in the state
tournament, as both the games count in
the NCAIAW standings.
PIRATES
Continued from pegs 13.
ECU team in a commanding lead, as they
finished with the final margin of 91-85.
Dineen finished the game with 10
points, including his eight free throws.
Crosby, who was seven of 17 from the
floor, finished with 16 points for the
Pirates, giving ECU five players in double
figures.
Patton started three freshmen in his
starting lineup, and with Henkel playing
a lot, he played four players that are in
their first or second year. Patton said he
was pleased with the way these young
players performed.
�When you're 9-14, you change some
things around. I have to be pleased with
the way the three freshman and one
sophomore played. These four players
played most of the game
The 91 points was the most that East
Carolina scored this year, and the 21
assists was also a high for the year.
East Carolina was to play Western
Carolina last night.

Baseball season begins with game against Terps
J
East Carolina University will open its
baseball season here March 6 against the
University of Maryland.
The Pirates will be hoping to start a
season similar to the even-numbered
seasons which have preceded them to
this point. Except for 1972, the Pirates
have won the Southern Conference
championship every even-numbered year.
The opening game will be the first of
two with the Terps, who finished third in
the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 7-3
loop mark last season. Other ACC
opposition will come from N.C. State,
and defending champions, UNC and
Duke.
East Carolina finished 17-12 overall
and 9-5 in conference play. The Pirates
have a 14-game league slate, as is usual
in the conference. The Pirates also have
a pair scheduled with UNC-Wilmington,
last season's NAIA national tournament
representative from this area.
"This schedule will help us determine
how quickly we will become competi-
tive said George Williams, in his third
year as head coach. "Team by team, the
Atlantic Coast and Southern conferences
present some good baseball
Williams hopes his club will be in the
thick of the conference race, as well as
give a good showing outside the
conference.
Gone from the 1975 club is Ron
Staggs, who set eight ECU career hitting
records before departing for the pros last
summer. He will be replaced by Sonny
Wooten, a much sought after first-base-
man who helped Louisburg College to a
third-place finish in the national junior
college tournament last spring.
Catcher Howard McCullough, second-
baseman Steve Bryant, third-baseman
Geoff Beaston and shortstop Ken Gentry
all return to head the Pirate infield. Glenn
Card, Addison Bass, Joe Roenker, Robert
Brinkley and Charlie Stevens will see
outfield duty. All are returning lettermen,
except for Stevens, who blistered junior
college pitching at Louisburg last
season.
Dean Reavis, the conference's leading
ERA pitcher (182), returns to head a

SC Ticket Prices
Tickets for the ECU-Appalachian State
first round Southern Conference game
will cost both students and faculty
$1.75, according to Southern Conference
regulations.
Southern Conference regulations say
that students, as well as the public, have
to be charged for conference tournament
games. Under the rules, the hosting
school can charge no less than they
would normally for public tickets. The
conference policy stipulates that the
hosting school may charge less for
students, but that the prices for student
tickets can be no less than half the price
for public tickets.
According to Bill Cain, ECU Director
of Athletics, the regular prices for public
tickets will be charged and half that price
will be charged for students.
Therefore, it will cost ECU students
and faculty $1.75 to attend,
Cagers to host first round
East Carolina will host a first round
game in the Southern Conference
tournament which begins Saturday.
The Pirates, who finished their
conference slate with a 7-7 mark, will
meet Appalachian State, which finished
the season at 6-6 in the conference.
East Carolina finished tied for third
in the conference after VMI beat
Appalachian State. 78-74, and William
and Mary beat Richmond, 107-102, in
conference games last weekend.
The wins gave VMI its first Southern
Conference title ever and their first
winning record in 35 years. William and
Mary finished second in the conference
and Richmond and East Carolina finished
tied for third with 7-7 season records.
Richmond got the third seed in the
conference tournament on the basis of
head-to-head competition between the
two schools.
The first round pairings for the
tournament will be VMI hosting
Davidson, Furman at William and Mary,
the Citadel at Richmond, and Appala-
chian State visiting ECU. The four
winners will travel to Greenville, S.C for
the tournament semi-finals and finals on
March 3-4.
ECU head coach Dave Patton was
understandably pleased that the Pirates
captured the fourth-place home berth in
the first-round. He said that he felt it
gave ECU a definite advantage that it
would not have had if the game had been
played in Boone.
"Actually we ended up tied for third
said Patton. "That's a little higher than I
though we'd finish.
"I am happy to get the fourth place
position and the home berth. I definitely
feel it is an advantage for us
Patton said that at the outset of the
tournament, he would consider VMI as
the tournament favorite. Patton said,
however, that if Furman makes the final
four he might have to change his mind.
"VMI has to be considered as the
favorite as long as there are still eight
teams in the tournament. After that, it
depends on what teams win in the first
round. If Furman makes it, I might have
to consider them as favorites
Furman is hosting the Southern
Conference tournament and has won the
title during the last three years.
staff which has for the past two years
topped the conference team pitching
ratings. Reavis should be supported by
lefthander Bob Feeney, 4-0 last year, and
Terry Durham, who started late in the
spring and had strong summer league
records. Pete Conaty, who fared well in
summer league ball, and Keith
Kurdewan, a freshman from Neptune,
N.J will be among the five others

roles.
"We've been fortunate to have weather
which has permitted us to play outside a
lot said Williams. "But there is no way
you can gauge what will happen when the

pounds if he doesn't make the 126
weight.
Other top wrestlers for William and
Mary are Max Lorenzo at 150 pounds and
Tom Dursee at 118 pounds.
The Pirates have beaten both of these
wrestlers before. Wendell Hardy de-
cisioned Dursee, 7-4, and Marriott
downed Lorenzo, 7-5, in the match earlier
this year. This decisions could easily
turn around this weekend, though.
So the eighteenth-ranked Pirate
wrestlers had best forget about their 10-2
season mark and look to the tournament
this weekend. For Wei born, seven
victories is a goal for the tournament.
"I would be happy if we won seven of
the classes. We have done it before and I
think we could do it again this year. If we
win six, I'd say it was a good meet, but
any less and I would be disappointed. I
would say that seven is the most we
could win
Winning the conference would mean
an automatic berth in the NCAA for the
winners in each class.
When all is over Saturday night
expect East Carolina to be in the winner's
circle, but don't be surprised if it isn't
that easy a time for the Pirates, because
it won't be.
We're looking for certain majors
to become Lieutenants.
Nursing and pre mad majors math majors and
minors computer science physics majors
The Air Force needs people many with the above
academic majors. AFROTC is currently offering a two
year scholarship program with a $100 a month
allowance during tour junior and senior years at East
Carolina University. All this leads to an Air Force
officer's commission plus advanced education.
If you'd like to cash in on these Air Force benefits,
start by looking into the Air Force ROTC.
