In a report to the SGA Legislature,
Monday night, Honeycutt explained why
these candidates were disqualified.
"Two candidates for Graduate School
President, Jimmy Adams, and Roger
Dubey were disqualified for failing to

VPcandidate Nicholson withdraws from SGA race
Daiton Nicholson, the Student
Government Association (SGA) Secretary
of Internal and Minority Affairs, has
withdrawn from the race for the SGA Vice
Presidency because of the negative
atmosphere surrounding his candidacy.
"I am withdrawing from the race for
vice president because of the atmosphere
surrounding my candidacy and because
of academic pursuits said Nicholson.
"Based on these reasons, I iiave
reevaluated my priorities and have
decided to leave the race
Nicholson said he filed for both the
SGA Presidency and the Vice Presidency
because he believes he could offer ECU
students experience that he has gained
through involvement in various organi-
zations on campus.
However, Nicholson said he received
very negative vibrations from the other
candidates b:dding for these positions.
"I filed for the Presidency and the
Vice Presidency to get a feel of the
vibrations Nicholson said. "The
vibrations I received were very negative
Primarily, the negative vibrations were
coming from the candidates running for
the Presidency, and their supporters,
Parking lot safety lights requested
By DENNIS LEONARD
Assistant News Editor
In light of the recent rapes in the
Greenville area, the SGA Safety
Committee has requested that lights be
placed at the Allied Health parking lot.
According to Reid Strickland, chair-
man of the safety committee, approxi-
mately 250 persons park in the lot to
attend night classes.
It was during the height of the rape
season that the Safety Committee was
implemented to determine possible
safety hazards on campus and to reduce
existing hazards.
The Safety Committee sees a need
for a more adequate lighting system at
Allied Health and it is our duty to
establish a more adequate system said
Strickland.
Ronald Thiele, dean of allied health,
has been contacted about the SGA's
proposal and is in total favor of the
parking solution, according to Strickland.
Thiele was not available for comment.
The SGA, via the Safety Committee,
will be circulating a petition on campus
calling for student support of the lighting
proposal. All faculty members will be
given copies of the petition to be passed
out in their respected classes.
The SGA will not be funding the
lighting system, but hopes that the
university will pick up the bill.
The Safety Committee is in the
process of preparing a safety question-
naire to be passed out to a percentage of
the student body. The purpose of the
questionnaire is to find out what
students feel should be changed on
campus in terms of safety procedures.
A report of the questionnaires will be
given to the Occupational Safety-Hazard
Act (OSHA) department on campus to
determine the validity of the requests and
to see what can be done to improve
safety conditions on campus.
During the SGA elections on March
24th, day students will be polled at the
various voting booths on the safety
conditions on campus. The Safety
Committee would also like to encourage
all day students to participate in the
questionnaire program because if there is
enough feedback the outcome will be in
the students advantage.
The Men's Residence Council and
Women's Residence Council will circulate
the questionnaires throughout the dorms Jof the candidates runi
later on this week. President
according to Nicholson.
"The presidential candidates were
seriously talking about eliminating
themselves down to one candidate so
that only one person would be running
against me Nicholson said.
"This was simply an attempt to keep
a black person from being elected. My
qualifications were never discussed.

School bond issue
goes before voters
By LARRY LIEBERMAN
Staff Writer
N.C. Voters decide today whether 43
million dollars are to be issued in bonds
for capital improvement on state-
supported universities.
"The building programs to be funded
by this bond referendum on 13 of the 16
state-supported universities said Col.
Charles R. Blake, assistant to the
Chancellor, "is just to accomodate
existing students that are already on
these campuses
Blake is the Bond Issue Coordinator
at ECU and he hopes that many students
have gotten absentee banots. He aiso
hopes students will urge their parents to
vote yes.
"North Carolina is at the bottom of
the nation said Blake, "in the number
of college age students attending higher
education institutions He said the rapid
growth which is needed and which
universities are now experiencing cannot
be handled on a tight budget.
"Future growth of North Carolina
universities would halt if the bond fails
but growth may continue at the same
pace if it passes.
"The state wants to give students the
alternative to choose between public and
private institutions by making more room
for students in the state-supported
universities
The bond is to be divided up
according to each school's needs. The
three schools not included in the bonds
are ECU, which received $28 million in
1975 for the med school, N.C. Centra),
which received $2.5 million in 1975 for a
new law school building, and the N.C.
School of the Arts, which received $3.6
million in 1974 for a new classroom
building. Appalachian State University
will receive $3.32 million for a library
addition and Elizabeth City State
University will get $1.2 million for the
same purpose.
Fayetteville State University will
receive $4.38 million for a classroom-

EditorialsCommentary
Delay leaves cloud hanging over elections
ECU students will elect an SGA president Wednesday, and
then Thursday the Honor Council could turn around and
disqualify the person just elected.
That at least is the possibility that has arisen in light of the
fact that it will be the day after the elections before a hearing
can be held to determine the validity of several claims of
wrongdoing by three of the candidates.
To hold a hearing to determine the legality of some
campaign tactics is about as ridiculous as you can get. Yet, that
is just what will happen this week. One day students will go to
the polls and then next day the results of the election could be
ruled invalid.
The sorry state of affairs grows out of the charge by
presidential candidate Sammy Hicks that three of his
opponents, Tim Sullivan, Teresa Whisenant and Lynn Shubert all
are guilty of various campaign bylaw infractions. Hicks contends
Ms. Whisenant and Ms. Shubert broke the bylaws when they
placed large banners off campus. Hicks contends Sullivan broke
the campaign law which set the starting date for officially
campaigning on campus.
In at least one instance, the charges by Hicks appear1 to
have some merit.
And, the students who will cast their ballots deserve to know
the results of the honor council hearing before they vote. The
hearing could have some effect on the voting, especially if the
Council agrees with Hicks on some of the charges. The
campaign rules stipulate that candidates who break the rules
can be disqualified from the race. So, some of the candidates in
Wednesday's election might not be candidates by Thursday.
The hearing should be held before the elections, yet it won't.
And, why might you ask won't the hearing be held until
Thursday, which is one day too late?
According to SGA Election Chairman Roy Turner, the Honor
Council can't hear the case until the legislature can approve a
new Attorney General. If you have not been keeping count that
makes three AG's that have been named this year. So far each
one has lasted just one quarter.
There was a Fall A-G, then a Winter A-G, and now we will
have a Spring A-G. That is one of the highest turnover rates in
government we have ever heard of. We have had more SGA
Attorney Generals this year than we have had United Nations
Ambassadors, and that is one post that has had a high turn over
rate the last few years. We have changed A-Gs this year faster
than most "banana republics" change presidents.
The slow action by the proper authorities on this particular
issue is inexcusable. To hold the hearing on charges that could
greatly affect the elections the day after the elections has to be
an all time "high" (or is that low) in the management of student
government.
But, apparently this type delayed inaction is becoming a
trend in certain circles in the student government.
Students may recall the long delayed action on just what to
do about the vice-president job that has been left open for most
of the year. The vacancy occurred in the Fall quarter, but it was
the middle of Winter quarter, over two months after the

resignation, that someone finally got around to ruling that the
post should be filled. By then it was only two more months till
the Spring elections, and it was decided, and rightfully so at
that late date, that it was too late in the year to elect a new VP.
Again, inaction by some left the position open for almost an
entire year.
Now, inaction again is leaving a cloud hanging over the
elections which will not be resolved until the day after the
elections. And now the question is, what happens if the charges
are deemed valid and some candidate or candidates are
disqualified?
What happens if one of those disqualified happens to be
elected. And with the three who are charged, it is certainly a
distinct possibility since one of those charged is the bonafide
frontrunner, if there is such a thing in this election.
Or, what about the possibility of all three being absolved of
the charges, and then those three candidates charging that the
very allegations against them hurt their chances in the elections.
The unresolved issue could have a detrimental effect on all three
candidates, although right now they have only been accused of
wrongdoing. Unfortunately these days a lot of people relate an
accusation and guilt, which may or may not be the case.
The whole mess could have easily been resolved by now if
ihe proper authorities had moved quickly on several matters.
Most notably to get an A-G. Hopefully the one named by the
legislature this time will at least make it through the rest of the
year.
The one thing we do ask of the new president, no matter
who that might be, please appoint cabinet members who plan to
last longer than a quarter.

Day student nits
parking problems
Dear Fount ai nhead:
Today while I was waiting for a
parking place in the day student lot
beside Speight, a campus policeman
came up and told me I could not wait in
line-l had to be inside the lot. Well, in
order for me to get inside the lot the two
cars in front of me (who had also been
asked to move) had to move further
inside. Meanwhile a car that was parked
beside me wanted to pull out, so I
backed up and was the only person w. .o
was in a position to get into that space.
I'm not complaining about getting the
space, but if I'd been either of the cars in
front of me, I would have been furious!
My feeling is that if I pay my fees and
for a day student sticker, I have just as
much right as anyone else to park there
Furthermore, if I get there first, I want to
be able to park first.
The parking for day students is bad
enough already. I know for a fact that I'm
not the only day student who knows the
frustration of not getting to a class on
time or sometimes not at all because of
the lack of adequate parking facilities.
One day last week I had to go to my 9:00

Schubert
To Fountainhead:
I am writing this letter in full support
of Lynn Schubert for SGA President.
Lynn's concern is with the students, and
she wants to see our student government
back in. the hands of the students.
Lynn believes that we, as students,
should have a more accessible path that
we can use to express our views to our
legislators on major issues coming up
that affect us! The SGA has for too long
been drawing it s ideas and views from a
select minority and not from the student
body. The students shouldn't feel
restricted to voice an opinion or get
involved for fear of not having their ideas
considered. The student body should be
more involved, and I think they will be,
once they know that they will be heard in
the form of ideas proposed to help make
decisions instead of complaints of
decisions already made.
Lynn is strongly in support of issues
which are for the betterment of ECU such
as better transportation and more
parking facilities, but she wants these
issues taken care of with the input of the
entire student body. The administration
will be much more receptive to ideas if
the SGA represents the entire student
body and not just the elected legislators.
Lynn has had experience in SGA as
Junior class vice-president, and is further
qualified through experience in the
Judicial Branch of the Student
Government.
It is now time for a change: a
change that will bring the students
together to make ECU'S 7677 year the
best ever. Lynn Schubert is the leader we
need, dedicated, qualified, and concer-
ned for the students. . - ,

Kim Taylor endorsed
To the Fountainhead:
During the past year, I have had the
opportunity to serve in the Student
Government Association. In that year, I
was placed on the Appropriations
Committee where upon I had the chance
to view firsthand Miss Kim Taylor, as she
was Secretary of this powerful
committee. I learned that this was her
second year in Student Government,
making her quite experienced in
governmental matters.
Now she is running for SGA
Secretary. In this position, she would in
essence be an employee of the SGA.
When I asked Kim why she wanted to
give up the privilege of sitting in this
legislature she explained that she has
worked with the legislature and students
long enough. Now she wants to work for
them.
So far as necessary training for the
job, Kim has come through again. She
has been a Medical Secretary at Eastern
Radiologists. Kim has also been a Legal
secretary for Mattox and Reid and a
Corporation Secretary to Coastal Leasing
Corporation. Kim has had all the typing
and shorthand courses offered at ECU,
and she has a minor in Business
Education.
With this great amount of skilled
experience compounded with two years
experience in the SGA, it is quite clear
Kim Taylor is prepared to be SGA
Secretary. All she needs now is your
vote.
Remember: Kim wants to work for
you!

According to Dr. Steila, the book is
designed for use in the study of soils in
college and university geography courses
in the U.S. and Canada.
An alumnus of Kent State University,
Dr. Steila holds advanced degrees from
Kent State and the University of Georgia.
His research interests are agricultural
climatology, soils and land utilization,

Edmiston sculpts Jenkins for Arts Center
By FRANCEINE PERRY
ECU News Bureau
Visitors to the campus office of ECU
Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins may be
startled by a large clay model of Dr.
Jenkins' head which rests on a pedestal
near the chancellor's desk.
The clay model is the first step
toward the execution of a bronze-cast
sculpture which will be mounted high on
the outside wall near the entrance to the
new $4.1 million Leo W. Jenkins School
of Art building. The sculpture was
commissioned by Wachovia Bank and
Trust Co.
Faculty sculptor Robert Edmiston
comes in each afternoon to fashion the
clay model's features into Dr. Jenkins'
likeness while he watches the busy
chancellor at work.
Completion of the sculpture, which
will be half again as large as life size,
will be a lengthy and complex process,
involving more than 200 hours of work.
According to sculptor Edmiston, model-
ing the clay image is only the beginning.
"Upon completion of the clay
portrait, a plaster mold will be formed
around the clay head. This plaster
negative mold is then used to duplicate
the , portrait in wax he explained
Meanwhile the original clay model will
be pressed together and the clay stored
away for re-use in future projects. Some
of the clay used in the model is nearly
100 years old.
The wax duplicate of the clay portrait
is then encased in a complex foundry
mold constructed of silica and plaster.
The melted wax image and moisture are
drained from the mold in a furnace at 100
degrees F. Molten bronze, at 2100
degrees F, is then poured into the mold
in a foundry procedure which replaces
the wax melted out in the earlier
operation, said Edmiston.
Hence, this process of sculpture is
termed "lost-wax casting
The actual casting will be carried out
in the ECU School of Art's new foundry,
with the help of sculpture students, if
that facility can be completed in time.
Otherwise, Edmiston explained, his own
home studio foundry would be used to
complete the job.
"The usual dedicatory portrait for this
campus has been an oil painting
noted Edmiston. "The bronze sculpture
will be a rather unique permanent tribute
to Chancellor Jenkins
The bronze will be ready for the
special building dedication ceremony of
the Fine Arts Center later this year.
Edmiston, like most professional
sculptors, usually works in abstract
forms. The Jenkins protrait is his first
realistic work in several years, although
he was carefully prepared for this type of
sculpture during his training as a
student.
"I have really two tasks to fulfill in
this work he said. "One is simply to
copy Dr. Jenkins' physical features in the
medium, to achieve a strong physical
likeness.
"The second is to attempt to express
through formal means - mass, line and
texture - something about the man
The rough 9xture of the clay models
surface is a result of Edmiston's
perception of Leo Jenkins as "an
intensely dynamic personality" and "a
leader who has experienced many crises

Students lose with the
Buckley Amendment
By BILL McGRAW
(CPS)Students, supposedly destined
to become the big winners when the
Buckley Amendment took effect one year
ago, have turned out to be the act's
biggest losers.
The Amendment, sponsored by
Senator James L. Buckley (ConsR
N.Y.), armed students with the right to
inspect their personal files kept by their
school and restricted the number of
outside persons and organizations able
to have access to the files, which in the
past often contained information on
students that had nothing to do with
their academic situation.
But today, bureaucrats in the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare (HEW) are still quibbling over the
acts final guidelines, school officials are
still wondering what the whole thing
means and students seeking admission
to colleges, professional schools and
graduate programs have been hurt by
counselors' refusals to write honest
letters of recommendations.
The main problem with the act
appears to be counselors who are
spooked by the specter of suit-bearing
students now that they can see what is
being written about them. The
counselors, fearful of offending with an
honest assessment of a student's talent,
have opted for bland, innocuous letters
of recommendation which admission
officers say are "useless" in determining
a student's worthiness to enter a school
or program.
The admission officers in turn have
been forced to rely on raw test scores
and grades when it comes time to
choose among student hopefuls applying
to their schools. Officials say this
process does not do students any favors.
"This (relying on grades and tests)
could hurt the non-traditional candidate
explains Harvard official Fred Jewett.
Bland recommendations "can have a
major effect says Charles Deacon, Dean
of Admissions at Georgetown University.
"When you are dealing with five, six or
seven qualified applicants for every
position, these recommendations can
become very important
To remedy the situation, students
keen on a particular law school or
graduate program are signing papers that
waive their rights of access to letters in
their files. "About 50 per cent" of the
students registered at the University of
Texas teacher placement center have
signed waivers, an official there says.
The practice is "common" among
applicants to law and medical schools at
Boston University; Harvard and some
other schools send out waiver forms on
a regular basis. On the other hand, some
schools like Barnard College have
declined to issue waivers until the final
rules are known.
A HEW spokesman says the law has
been beneficial nonetheless. He points to
the fact that no longer can police or
military organizations gain access to
student files along with the new
opportunity for students to purge their
records of any erroneous material.
When HEW will finally release its
permanent guidelines, no one is sure.
HEW Secretary David Mathews, former
president of the University of Alabama, is
currently studying them and "we have no
way of knowing" when they'll be issues,
the HEW spokesman said.

Fountainhead turkeys
visit the 'big apple'
(part one)
By PAT COYLE
Features Editor
A position at the Fountainhead involves many responsibilities, not the least of
which is an obligation to represent the noble newspaper to the best of our abilities in
all situations.
Columbia University's annual journalism convention afforded two of my co-workers
and myself an excellent opportunity to show to our colleagues around the nation, and
to the entire city of New York, what a Fountainheader is all about.
The trip began for me long before our departure on March 10. I struggled to retain
an air of casual interest when our noble Chief informed me I was chosen to go on the
trip. I didn't jump up and down in front of him, I didn't even sing one chorus of "On
Broadway But from that moment on, my head was filled with eager anticipation of
four days in the "BIG APPLE
YOU SURE PICKED A DiLLY
Our New York experience began moments after we landed at Kennedy. During
our $15 trip from Queens to Manhattan, the taxi driver was more than anxious to fill
us in on tho minute details of his taxi driving career.
He finally got around to asking us our hotel's name, which was the Picadilly. He
sneered in the rear-view mirror and exlaimed, "You sure picked a dilly, heb, heh
Upon our arrival at the hotel, we found out what he meant. I was fortunate to have
been placed in a room with a view. (If I stood up on the window sill, I could see half
of a huge cigarette billboard on Times Square, depicting a young man blowing real,
live smoke rings.)
KILL THE WEATHERMAN
Another surprise we were faced with as we arrived was the weather. Part of my
preparation for the trip involved the purchase and selection of clothing a propos to a
few days in "the city Being a dyed in the wool southern belle, I am of the opinion
that March is early Spring, not mid-Winter. Not so in New York. I stared woefully
each morning at my suitcaseful of pastels, as I put on my dreary winter clothes.
The weather was noteworthy, not because of its chilliness, but rather because of
its incredible variety. We witnessed a temperature range of from 20 degrees to 65
degrees (the day we left, of course).
We saw snow, sleet, sunshine, rain, wind, and yes, even a thunderstorm,
complete with hail.
THE COLUMBIA CONFERENCE
All is not fun and games for a Fountainhead staffer. It was necessary to resist
the temptation of skipping the journalism meetings, no matter how much I wanted to
stroll up and down 42nd street.
With map in hand, we set out for the University, confident that we knew exactly
which subway to take, and how far. What we failed to realize was the length of some
of New York's streets. That little nugget of information, combined with the size of the
Columbia campus made life a bit difficult.
We finally made our way to the proper lecture rooms, and were both entertained
and informed by the many speakers we heard. One of the more notable lectures was
delivered by none other than our Editor Mike Taylor himself. As our boss stood at the
podium, my colleague and I encouraged each other to ask him questions on why
staffers are so underpaid.
BUSINESS AND PLEASURE
Virtually everyone knows that education is not limited exclusively to the
classroom. It was in this spirit, and in the interest of a "well-rounded experience" that
one of my colleagues took me to a topless bar near our hotel.
My friend scoffed at my apprehension on entering the establishment. He assured
me that no one would notice that I was the only woman in there (with the exception
of the "performers").
I was eventually glad he'd talked me into going. Had I not been with him, he
would have been subjected to the unpleasant attentions of those lewd, lascivious,
young women. I'm sure he'll never forget me for protecting him from such base
examples of humanity.
BIG-TIME JOURNALISM HERE WE COME
iudky -strike nubic tnocb
AND V SECOND INSFfcOMfeNr
?S TH? ??SiN Bo"
On the third day of our sojourn, my adventurous colleague and I decided to
? ii vmtwmmmmmmm?
utilize our spare time by visiting some big-time publications. After an early breakfast
we headed in separate directions; I toward the hallowed halls of COSMOPOLITAN, he
toward the hollow halls of the VILLAGE VOICE.
COSMO was quite a surprise, to say the least. I was amazed to see that, even in
the glamorous world of one of the biggest and most prestigious women's
magazines, there exist women like myself, that is; ladies of imperfect body size,
ladies whose eyeliner is not exactly straight, in other words, ladies whose faces will
never appear on the cover of COSMOPOLITAN.
The COSMO staffers were extremely courteous and appeared anxious to answer
my many dumb questions to the best of their abilities. I did encounter some hostility
from one employee, who made it clear that the question I asked her didn't deserve an
answer, but I later learned that it was her last day as an employee at COSMO, so her
brusqueness was excusable.
While I was learning to be a sophisticated woman at COSMO, my comrade was
learning the inner workings of a very sophisticated newspaper, the VILLAGE VOICE.
The VOICE was, at one time, an underground publication, but in recent years, it
has gained enough prestige to put it in competition with some of the more
"legitimate" newspapers. It is an extremely interesting paper; its classified ads alone
make for an entertaining afternoon's reading.
My colleague returned from his visit to the VOICE filled with radical ideas
concerning "new journalism" and many suggestions for improving the
FOUNTAINHEAD. (I went along with everything except his suggestion to do away
with the Features Editor. After all, who wants to sacrifice true quality for the sake of
sensationalism.)
FOOD FOOD EVERYWHERE FOOD
I advise anyone on a diet to stay as far away from New York as possible.
Within easy walking distance of the hotel we had the choice of Chinese, Italian,
Greek, Indian, Vegetarian, and god knows what other types of restaurants, including a
genuine BURGER KING.
Our boss acknowledged the fact that New York is a veritable orgy of foods, but
noted that one thing was missing. He searched far and wide, but could not find a
PARKERS BARBEQUE anywhere in the "BIG APPLE (Who says Greenville isn't
unique?)
OH SUCH PEOPLE
As you may or may not have noticed, I was totally fascinated by New York. If It
is a fantastic city, (and it is!) the people are what make it.
I started out my stay with a rather defensive attitude about the people. I was
convinced that I would get mugged, I just KNEW the taxi drivers would give me a "run
for my money and I fully expected to be laughed at every time my Southern drawl
was heard. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
True, people were amused by my accent. When I spoke to storekeepers, and taxi
drivers, and doormen, and police, they all asked where I was from. They usually
followed my answer with many more interested, and interesting questions, and they
usually bent over backwards to help a poor, naive visitor find her way around the big,
bad city.
The weather was cold in New York, but the people enveloped us in their warmth,
the weather was dreary, but the people were sunny. In short, if anybody ever tells you
not to go to New York, don't listen. New York City is like five Disneyworlds all in
one.
Editor's Note: Be sure to read the FOUNTAINHEAD Thursday, when Would You
Believe will deal with the best part of my trip to New York. HINT: It deals with a
major television network, numerous celebrities, and one very nervous features editor.

What Greenville needs is a good tradition
Should Halloween be an annual holiday ?
By KENT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
With all the uproar of the 1975
"Halloween incident" one might say that
the event had the most social impact on
life at EZU of recent times.
With this in mind, I move that
commemoration of the "Halloween inci-
dent" should weigh much heavier in the
minds of students. This could be
accomplished by changing the name of
EZU to HMPU (Halloween Memorial Party
University). We could change the school
colors to orange and black, and the
football team could be the "Headless
Horsemen" with helmets shaped like
pumpkins.
Imagine yourself ten years hence
visiting HMPU at the end of October. The
dorms would be buzzing, people selling
gas masks and bricks. You encounter a
student selling tickets.
"Get your tickets, last chance to buy
tickets to the tenth annual Halloween
incident
"Do you have a ticket for the top of the
Tree House?"
"They sold out last month, where you
been?"
"Top of Clement, binoculars are for
rent. Hey you want some action?"
"What's the odds this year?"
"Gassers over Rockers by 3
"Who's judging this year, City or
SGA?"
"City
"I'll take the Gassers for a buck
"If you want to, but I'm for the
Rockers this year
"Hell, they haven't won since '75, and
SGA was judging that year. They even
took the Gassers by surprise. Nobody
was expecting a fight.
Yeah, but this is '85, and they'll be
wanting a win awfully bad this year
"Back in 75 the score was so close,
four windows to two convictions. If you
counted bus loads with the convictions it
would have been a tie
"Yeah, but you don't count bus loads
according to the Chapel Hill Convention.
And this year it will be harder to get a
conviction with F. Lee Bailey on the
Rockers side
"Oh, he's a loser
"Anyway, I'm going with the Rockers

FOUNTAINHEADVOL. 51, NO. 4423 MARCH 1976
SGA President candidates
Samuel Collier
The main thread behind the issues
that I'm dealing with and thinking about
is the fact that we need harmony
between all different things that work
together. We need harmony between SGA
and the publications and the community
and the student body and the
administration. We'll have to deal with
this without a whole lot of prejudice for
certain groups or a lot of negative
attitudes. I feel this will go a long way in
getting things right and keeping things
loose at the same time. One thing I mean
is not to have two groups such as SGA
and publications working against each
other.
Q: What are your thoughts on
Publications going independent from the
SGA?
A: I think we can use the Student Union
as a model for direct funding to show
that it has worked with another
organization and the Student Union is
running quite efficiently now. I have
heard of several direct funding methods
at other universities. I think that studying
the university policies elsewhere will help
us in many ideas-such as a book co-op.
Western Carolina has a very efficient one.
I've heard several students who were
transfers say that they spent about ten
dollars per term on books. And it's much
greater than that here.
Q: Would you favor WECU being placed
under Pub Board?
A: As opposed to WECU being under the
whims of SGA in a certain year. For one
year the SGA may say 'we are all for it;
and the next year they're not. And that
doesn't go along with the increased rules
and regulations that the FCC is going to
require of a ten watt FM station
broadcasting to the community because
we are going to have a lot more
responsibility. I think these publications
organizations together will make money
so that we can expand, and I think that
this will work towards a communications
major that I would like to see.
Q: Currently the foreign language
requirement is becoming an issue in
SGA. What are your thoughts on a
proposal to study alternatives to this
requirement.
A: I agree. Computer language is going
to be more important in a given number
of years than it is now.
So I think that computer
language as an alternative is an excellent
idea.
Q: What are your thoughts on dorm
contracts.
A: You have to realize that the
administration has to pay for the dorms
somehow and this is a kind of a lease.
So you have to look at the
Administration's viewpoint on that. If
off-campus housing becomes popular
and the dorms start folding because of a
lack of room rent then that's just as
much of a problem to everybody. But I
agree with the easing up of terms.
Q: What do you think should be the
on-going policy with the transportation
system.
A:It should definitely be planned with
the city. But if their plan doesn't include
us, we are going to do it on our own, I
guess.
A major thing in many of these issues
that is going to determine our actions is
what the students want and need not just
what we conjecture what they need. I
think the President should plan to visit
one or two organizations weekly and sit
SAMUEL COLLIER
SGA PRESIDENT CANDIDATE
around and listen to what they have to
say. I think these kinds of things will
break down a lot of barriers that make
people feel like SGA is a lot closer to
mem man a little room sitting over there
where they just sit around and play.
SAMMY T. HICKS
SGA PRESIDENT CANDIDATE
Sammy T. Hicks
The main issue that I am presently
concerned with is the building of the
overpass I feel that one definitely should
be built. Another main issue is the rapes
that have occurred recently in the
Greenville area. I feel that we could
install more lighting around campus to
make it somewhat more secure. I also
think that SGA money should be spent
wisely and that it should be spent for the
benefit of the students.
Q: What are your thoughts on
Publications going independent from the
SGA?
A: The Student Union took away some
burdens from the Appropriations Com-
mittee, allowing us to get to more
serious business, in doing away with the
having to set up the Pub Board budget
would allow us to get to the students'
problems and interests more quickly.
Q: Currently, the foreign language
requirement is becoming an issue in
SGA. What are your thoughts on a
proposal to study alternatives to this
requirement?
A: I never liked to take a foreign
language, but if we get away from this,
we would start to lose international
communciations throughout our univer-
sity. However, again it is up to each
individual how he feels about this matter.
I will sign whatever the Legislature
representing the students decides upon.
Q: What are your thoughts on dorm
contracts?
A: I don't think that students should be
bound to a nine-month contract. I live in
an apartment with a twelve-month
contract that I had to sign, and I know
the hassle of losing your depot when
you have to move early and can't fulfill
the contract.
Q: What do you think should be the
on-going policy with the transportation
system?
A: I feel that with ail the excess money
that we have in the budget the system
could be greatly improved. However,
since the SGA chose to give the
transportation system only $36,004.12, I
think they are doing a good job with
what they have.
Lynn Schubert
The big issues such as transportation,
better parking facilities, Publications
Board, can only be acted upon with the
entire student body's backing. To get
students involved, I'd like to see a
summary of SGA business go out every
other week or else monthly, and a list of
day student and dorm representatives
available in the summary to students.
With this summary students would know
what is being voted on every week in
SGA by the people they voted for. In this
way they could contact their legislators
about their feelings on major issues
before irrevocable decisions are made.
Q: What are your thoughts on the
publications going independent from
SGA?
A: I think that it needs to be researched
by the people knowledgeable in the field,
not only at other schools, but also the
feasibility of it happening here. I
definitely believe that all advertising
money made by publications should
revert directly to the Publications
Board as stated in their bylaws.
???????????????????????a??????????????????
Q: What are your feelings on WECU
becoming an FM radio station?
A: I'd like to see WECU go FM. I don't
have background in radio or publi-
cations; it's something I'd have to work
on and develop.
Q: Do you feel that SGA's involvement in
questions of curriculum, specifically the
foreign language requirement, is warrant-
ed?
A: I think SGA should get involved in
academic discussions because that's
what the students are here for and SGA
should represent them in that also.
Q: What are your thoughts on dorm
contracts?
A: The select committee for dorm
contracts did a good job of working with
the administration, but I think that if we
had more input by the student body we
could carry more weight with the
administration and get more ideas
passed.
Q: What should the SGA's position be
concerning working with the city of
Greenville on a coordinated transport-
ation system.
A: Student government needs to
investigate the city's position. If each
student has to pay for each ride on the
bus I think we should decline the offer by
Greenville and continue to work on our
own transportation. If, however, this
service would be free we should work at
incorporating the city's transportation
system with our campus.
To accomplish any of these issues I
believe the most important thing is to
start with the first small step of
involvement of the student body. With a
President who is concerned for the
students, East Carolina University SGA
can take some major steps next year.
Decisions on this campus can be made
by us, the students.

(continued from page 9)
Tim Sullivan
There are two things that concern me
most. The first is SGA itself. It's got to
be put back on the right track. It's
becoming isolated; it's becoming a club.
I would open all cabinet positions to the
student body, not paying off anybody.
Second, I would begin large cuts in SGA
salaries. We're not up here for our bank
accounts. We're up here for the students.
My second major concern has been with
me ever since I headed the Halloween
investigation. I've worked since October
with city leaders for a student seat on
the City Council and it looks like we'll
get it. There needs to be student input
on the utilities commission as well. I
don't mean brown nosers. I mean people
with guts.
Q: What are your thoughts on the
publications going independent from
SGA?
A: I think the Publications Board needs
to be made stronger, but it must remain
under SGA. Whatever squabbles there
have been have to be ironed out
maturely.
Q: What direction would you have WECU
take under your administration?
A: I've been a supporter of WECU since I
came here. I increased their budget last
year by over 50 per cent as a legislator.
And, if WECU is going to serve all the
students, including the day, FM might be
the idea.

Q: What is your position on the dorm
contract controversy?
A: I don't believe in the invasion of
privacy which the administration con-
dones. I was in a dorm for two years. No
one, I repeat, no one should be forced to
live in a dorm. If they're so good let the
administrators live there.

morning, every hour. An overhaul of the

Two weeks before the campaign
began I did a survey of over 200 dorm
and day students to find out what the
students of East Carolina University want
of their legislature and President next
year.
One of the foremost problems on our
campus is the transportation system. We
have buses with over 148 thousand miles
on them; one has a broken speedometer.
This is one way students can see their
fees at work and I feel the system would
be reliable. I would like to see the time
extended to from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
This would give the students the benefit
of downtown.
Q: What suggestions do you have for th?

incentive for advertising. At the present,

type of buses we have is needed and I'm
not opposed to the idea of allowing
students to charter the SGA bus for, say,
a rock concert in a larger city. The
system needs to be expanded.
The students never knew there were
so many saints and geniuses at ECU
until this campaign began - I'm not
either. But, I do work, whether it was for
self-limiting hours for freshman women
last year, or for those students who got
in trouble Halloween. I've made some
critics but I think my outspokenness
made me some friends, too. The student
body is charitable. They don't expect a
miracle worker, just someone who tries.
I've been accused of a lot, but never
being lazy. I sweat for my people no
matter what job I have held; I do it
because I love this school, and because I
love politics.
There is a line from an old Dylan song
that goes: "To much of nothin' can make
a man feel ill at east. It makes one man
bum inside and another get down on his
knees
We've had too much of nothing from
the administration, the city, and even the
SGA. I'm a black irishman, and I won't
get on my knees. The students will have
a fighter on their hands.
it goes back to general fund. I feel I have
an insight into this because I have been
Fountainhead Business Manager this
year.
Q: What is your opinion of the SGA's
Foreign Language Resolution?
A: I feel that the SGA is a liaison
between the faculty and students and if
the majority of students want this the
SGA should be concerned with student
collective bargaining.
Q: What are your thoughts on dorm
contracts?
A: Many students have lost money this
year from dorm contracts. I've talked with
various administration officials as well as
concerned students and I feel a better
explanation and revision is due to
students.
Q: Should WECU go FM?
A: I think this would definitely improve
WECU as a voice of the students.
I would like to see a book co-op
innovated next year. I'd like to see an all
concert weekend sponsored by SGA. I'd
like to see a consumer protections
agency solely for the students. ECU
students contribute $8 million to the
Greenville economy each year. They
could use this as buying power to lobby
in the Greenville City Council. I'd like to
see a job directory on campus with a list
of all jobs on campus available to
students. I'd like to see an apartment
guide completed because there are 150 to
200 apartments and houses off campus
each quarter that students are unaware
of. A big thing I'd like to see next year is
students put back in SGA. But the only
way you can do this is to innovate
programs for the students.

David Ruffin now solo artist
There is a small community in
lississippi called Whynot, spelled as
ke word, and why not? It's about 15
liles from Meridian and it's where David
ruffin was born.
When David was a boy, he was so
Ismail that his mother nicknamed him
Knot He explains that she used to say,
"You're no bigger than a knot in a string"
and that's why "Knot
Today Ruffin is tall, almost 6 feet 3,
and string slim, 152 pounds. "I used to
want to be a jockey he said. "My father
had two horses and about 150 chickens.
"I was so small that when I was 17
and did my first recording, they called
me "Little David I don't know what
happened but after I turned 21, I just got
taller and taller
Today Ruffin still loves horses and
riding but singing is what made him
famous, stemming from his being a
member of the Motown group, the
Temptations. Like his friend, Eddie
Kendricks, Ruffin spun out of the
Temptations to form a successful solo
career.
His lead tenor had helped distinguish
the Temps, as their fans call them.
Ruffin says of his range, "I can go right
off the piano scale Charlie Gillett, an
SOLO TEMPTATION - former Temptation
David Ruffin, from Whynot, Miss Is
making a name for himself and his little
town with solo hits like "Walk Away
From Love
eminent chronicler of pop music history,
said in his 1970 book "The Sound of the
City that "after Smokey Robinson,
Motown's most expressive interpreters
were Marvin Gaye and David Ruffin
Yet despite seven years and six
albums since going solo, the Ruffin
profile has been deceptively low for the
general public. This is being remedied by
his latest album, titled WHO I AM,
which moved steadily up the charts along
with a hit single from it, "Walk Away
From Love
The album was produced, arranged
and conducted by Van McCoy, the
"Hustle" man, so not surprisingly the
album has a disco flavor to it. Ruffin
says, "If they call it disco music, it
doesn't bother me at all
Nevertheless, like other performers
confident of their artistry, he doesn't like
to be categorized. He ticked off instant
definitions of some of the songs on the
LP.
"Love Can Be Hazardous to Your
Health he said. "That's a rock blues.
'Walk Away From Love' is a pop ballad.
'Heavy Love' has something of a spiritual
feel. 'Statue of a Fool' is definitely a
ballad
He wrote "Statue of a Fool" in 1961.
"I couldn't even give the song away at
that time he commented with a wry
laugh.
He was about 20 then and
undoubtedly felt impatient about getting
recognition. He had been singing since
he was a small boy, starting with two
brothers and a sister as the Ruffin
Family.
"My father was a minister he said,
"and when I was 14 he let me travel with
the Rev. Calvin Coolidge Brown. I sang
with the Rev in Mississippi, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama. A
minister got bookings like a rock singer
Asked if ministers still did that, he
responds with an expression of mock
disbelief. "Well, Billy Graham's booked
every day he said.
When he was 17, he joined a group
called the Dixie Nightingales, which took
him to Detroit and his recording job. He
moved into a group called the
Moonglows, which included Marvin Gaye.
"Marvin and I were roommates Ruffin
said. "We used to exchange clothes and
run track together
Then came 1965 and the Temptations,
a high point in Motown history.
Today Ruffin leads his own band, the
Ruff Riders. He is a father, with four
children, but even with family and career
he has time to indulge his two hobbies,
motorcycling and horses.
Right now the main thing he's riding
is the expanded popularity of the Ruffin
name.
Ely in Bishop wilder than ever
By ROGER WHITSON
Staff Writer
Southern music has, in the past few
years, developed into a separate under
current in the stream of rock music. The
sound peculiar to such Southern
musicians as the Allman Bros Charlie
Daniels Band, Marshall lucker ana yes
Elvin Bishop, has been imitated (but
never equalled by musicians all over the
worid. This Southern band cannot be
adequately described, it must be heard,
hence Elvin Bishops STRUTTIN MY
STUFF.
Gliding into a "basic funk" melody,
the LP opens with the title track
"Struttin My Stuff The song written by
Bishop and pianist Phil Aaberg, gives
both the opportunity to exhibit their own
particular brand of the "Southern sound
Described by Charlie Daniels with these
words; 'He ain't good lookin' but he
sure can play Elvin earns the respect of
his listeners and fellow musicians with
his slide guitar wizardry.
Proud of their versatility, the second
song the band does is a reggae number
entitled "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey A
humorous tune describing the classic
male nightmare (or fantasy) of waking up
next to someone who looked a hell of a
lot better the night before when you were
stoned-blind. "Ugly girls will treat you
right, she can put you in the mood, I
could take her for my wife, If I stayed
drunk ail my life A common and
well-known feeling clearly epressed in
song.
Initially recorded some years ago as a
"rhythm and blues" number, "My Girl" is
revived by the patented Elvin Bishop
rejuvenation process. Prescribed heavy
doses of electric lightning by uoth
Bishop and Johnny "V" Vernazza, and
with emergency percussion administered
by Don Baldwin, the tune responds well
to Mickey Thomas' vocals. This tune
escapes from its "beach music" heritage
and is instead one of this LPs most
outstanding rockers.
Lewdly shouting, "I ain't gonna pump
no gas, I ain't gonna kiss nobody's
the next song, "I Love the Life I Lead
describes Bishop's emotional attachment
to his life as a rock musician, the road
trips, the hardships, everything is
glorified. Bishop emphasizes the
musician's rejection of attempted forced
conformity.
Overplayed on the radio but a decent
tune anyway, "Fooled Around and Fell in
Love closes the first side. The song
resembles none of the other tunes on the
LP, yet its romantic sentimental ism
exhibits another dimension of a band
which is not satisfied to be labelled as
mere hillbilly rock n' rollers. The band,
composed of Bishop, Vernazza, Michael
Brooks on bass, Don Baldwin,
percussion, and Mickey Thomas as lead
vocalist, provides some entertaining
minutes on this first side and more is yet
to come.
Vernazza and Bishop enjoy playing
some just plain "good time" music and
the first song on side two, "Holler and
Shout is just that. The tune simply
bebops out through the speakers,
creating an emotional experience equal to
two bottles of Foxfire Rum Velvet.
Every rock band is hounded by the
type of individual described in "Slick
Titty Boom "Dressed up like a
Christmas tree, wearing those nine-inct.
heels, she got lipstick, powder, and paint
and a see through dress. Looks like
something off of "Let's Make a Deal the
rock groupie immortalized in a funky
guaranteed Southern song.
"You gotta grab all the love you can
get so opens the next song aptly
entitled "Grab All the Love Little more
than a good natured exposition of his
slidework, Bishop's band does nothing
exceptional on this cut, but it's good
listening anyway.
Onward the next cut follows in the
same vein as its predecessor. "Have a
Good Time" proclaims the new ideal that
as long as there's something to drink and
something to smoke everything's
gonna work out fine
Under the guise of a mere closing
song, "Joy" may well be the best cut on
the entire LP. Terry Hanck on tenor sac,
backed by Brook's bass work, rocks the
whole way through. Bishop and Vernazza
each do a little rocking of their own.
"When I hold my lady's hand, it's joy,
joy, joy. And I want you to understand
that I love it's good to me This
number should be the needed springtime
motivation to scarf up someone to give
yourself to, smoke it and see.

Free concert in Mendenhall Thursday
Gene Cotton appearing March 24
If music is indeed the word of our
times, Gene Cotton will no doubt be one
of its voices. His soft voice and highly
individual stylized sound is fast gaining
him the reputation of being one of
music's most exciting new personalities.
Himself a brilliant songwriter, he has the
knack for driving home the message of
his own songs as well as those of
others. Cotton's ballads and songs of the
people are complemented by his easy
going, warm stage presence.
After thousands of miles, and
hundreds of college concerts and
coffeehouses, his musical career is
definitely on a national upswing.
"Sunshine Roses released last fall,
climbed to be his first chart hit. And
now, Cotton has released a new single
on ABC Records and in its first stages,
Damn It All" is proving to be another
super hit for Gene. A new album soon to
be released on ABC Records, a recent
guest spot on Dick Clark's "American
Bandstand as well as concerts and
tours this spring with Olivia Newton-
John, Charlie Daniels. Johnny Nash, Wet
Willie and The Marshall Tucker Band, are
all good reasons why Gene Cotton is
going to be a very familiar name.
GENE COTTON
In today's world, nothing is so
impressive as a multi-talented and
successful personality who is able to
communicate. Gene Cotton is such a
person. His creativity and artistry are
reflections of the basic honesty and
sincerity of the person, the writer, and

all across the country. Observers cite
several reasons for it but one thing is
certain: journalism has blown home-ec
and education off the map and has taken
their places as the current "in" academic
pursuit.
Enrollment in journalism schools this
year is pegged at 64,000 hopeful
students, a mind-boggling 481 percent
increase since 1960, The Wall Street
Journal reports. Since 1970 the
enrollment increase has jumped 93
percent; from 1974 to 75 it was 16.5
percent and educators see no end in
sight.
From "the largest school of
communications in the universe" as Dean
Wayne Danielson calls the University of
Texas School of Communication, to one
room departments with nary enough
typewriters to go around, students are
tapping out enough stories each day to
fill a dozen Sunday New York Times.
"I've been interviewed so many times I
can't see straight says a businessman
from Columbia, Missouri, home of the
University of Missouri, the nation's
oldest journalism school. "I think we're
suffering from a journalism glut"
School officials give various explana-
tions for the journalisiic upsurge.
Vocational training, the glamor of the
Woodward?Bernstein caper and the
chance for personal involvement in one's
career are ones that are heard most
often. Some experts say that people are
simply looking at journalism as a "class"
profession for the first time. "We're
getting a new kind of young person
explains Edward Bassett, director of
USC's journalism school. "Journalism is
now attracting the kind of student who
would have entered law or medicine in
the past
Whatever the reasons for all the
students, everyone seems to agree that
most of them are in for a rude awakening
when they graduate. When it comes to
journalism jobs, all the news is bad. A
recent survey by the Newspaper Fund
discovered only 62.4 percent of 74
journalism grads were able to grab a
position in either newspapers, advertising
or public relations. The outlook for the
future is worse, the Fund found, with
20,000 journalism grads in 1978 chasing
only 5,600 media-related openings.
Most major news organizations are
doing very little hiring these days. The

four years experience earn $24,700 a

year, had 1.000 applications for 15
summer internships this year and will
only be taking on 10 new reporters and
editors in 1976. A Wall Street Journal
editor says he has a three year supply of
"hot prospects editors at news
magazines, radio and TV stations try to
hide their smiles when queried about
employment.
The job crunch is not leaving students
unscathed, journalism school deans say.
"In 1969, journalism students were an
uproarious group recalls Elie Abel,
Dean of the top-ranked Columbia School
of Journalism. "The class of 1976 is quite
different: enormously businesslike, sober
and hard working Danielson, the Texas
Dean, agrees. The "half hearted"
students are gone, he says, and "the new
crop is very interested in academics.
They're attentive, good students who turn
things in on time and the faculty has not
adjusted to this
In the meantime, with all the added
student baggage, journalism schools are
finding themselves in the unfamiliar light
of harsh scrutiny Academics are asking
if journalism is really the academic
discipline it purports to be or rather a
skill to be picked up on the job.
Professors are griping about students
who can't write or spell, students
complain about grizzled old profs
teaching "Front Page" style journalism in
the era of Video Display Terminals and,
cruelest blow of all, some editors are
questioning the worth of a BJ degree in
any case.
"I and most other editors I know
would rather hire a reporter who knows
something about something-economics,
history, literature, political science,
physics, anything-than a kid who can
say who, what, where, why, when and
how' but otherwise has an empty mind
says Molly Invins, co-editor of The Texas
Observer.

Bunting Field dedicated
ECU wins own meet,
Rankins voted Most
Valuable runner
By STEVE WHEELER
Staff Writer
Marvin Rankins led East Carolina to
victory in the first annual ECU
Invitational Track and Field Meet held
Saturday on newly-dedicated Bunting
Track. The Pirates finished with 167
points, while Seton Hall placed second
with 128, and Pembroke State took third
with 96. Howard University and
Haggerstown Junior College tied for
fourth with 47 points.
Rankins was named the Most
Valuable Performer for the running events
with his outstanding efforts in the 120
yard high hurdles and for his strong leg
on the winning East Carolina 440 relay
team. Rankins was pressed into duty on
the relay team when Buc sprinter Donnie
Mack strained a muscle in the trials of
the 100 yard dash.
He responded with a very strong
leadoff leg on the relay that got the
Pirates out in front East Carolina went
on to win the event with a time of 40.9,
just a tenth of a second off the NCAA
qualifying time.
Rankins came right back in the 120
yard high hurdles with less than 15
minutes to rest. He went the distance in
13.9 seconds, to qualify himself for the
NCAA Championships in June.The
remarkable point about his time was the
fact that he was running into a 15-mile
per hour headwind.
Coach Bill Carson termed Rankins'
running performance in the meet
"remarkable
Assistant coach Curtis Frye remarked,
"What more can be said. This man
(Rankins) works hard for everything
he achieves and deserves a lot of credit
Charles Shipman, a sophomore from
Pembroke State, won the MVP for the
'ield events with a phenomenal
performance in the discus throw.
Shipman threw the discus 1779 one of
the top throws in the nation this year. As
a freshman, Shipman was NAIA
All-America in two events, the discus and
shot put. He also won the shot put with
a throw of 52'11 34
Other than Rankins and Shipman,
Carter Suggs was the only other double
winner. Suggs took the college 100 yard
dash in 9.7, running into the headwind,
and ran the second leg on the 440 yard
relay victory.
In the field events, the Pirates had
several stars. Lafan Forbes, a sophomore
from Stantonsburg, N.C won the
javelin, and finished fourth in the shot
and discus. Forbes had never previously
thrown the javelin more than 180 feet,
but on Saturday Forbes threw 204 feet to
upset Tom Neilson of Pembroke, the
favorite for the event.
Freshman Mike Harris had a good day
in the weight events also; as he finished
second in the discus, third in the shot,
and fifth in the javelin. Tom Watson
finished second in the shot put and
fourth in the javelin.
In the triple jump, Herman Mclntyre
won with a leap of 48 feet 4 112 inches.
George Jackson placed second in the
event. Jackson also placed third in the
long jump.
The high jump was certainly a bright
spot for the Pirates as two men went
over 6 feet 8 inches. Curt Dowdy, just 5-7
himself, went over 6 feet, 8 inches for
the first time in his life to place second
in the event. Al McCrimmon also went
over 6 feet, 8 inches to take third. Ben
Fields of Seton Hail won in 6' 10" but
failed in three attempts at 7 feet.
Keith Urguhart, a freshman from
Windsor, ran his best time ever in the
880 yard run when he placed second with
a time of 1:54.3. Jim Willett, who
stumbled on the final turn, finished fifth
in 1:56.2.
Senior hurdler Sam Phillips had an

Errors costly to UNC
Last inning rally pushes
Pirates past Tar Heels,3-2
tmm
rm
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
Happiness is a win over North
Carolina in anything, but yesterday
afternoon at Harrington Field the East
Carolina baseball team finished a perfect
season against its Atlantic Coast
Conference competition with a 3-2 win
over the Tar Heels.
The Pirates never led in the game
until the final moments, when Carolina
became unnerved by the boisterous ECU
crowd and committee back-to-back ninth
inning errors to give the Pirates two
unearned runs and the 3-2 win, the first
over the Tar Heels in a good many years.
Using predominately tne same players
which played on its summer league team,
the Summer League champion Tar Heels
came loaded and ready to end the
Pirate's string of wins against the ACC,
which had seen ECU take two games a
piece from N.C. State, Duke and
Maryland.
Carolina did not waste time taking the
lead as they scored right away in the first
inning.
Bill Lee opened the game with a walk
off ECU starter Larry Daughtridge and
stole second base. Randy Warrick then
lined a single to left to score Lee with
the go-ahead run Daughtridge pitched
out of the inning, and remained in
control of the Heels until the eighth
when Carolina scored to go up by a 2-1
count.
Meanwhile, ECU jumped on Carolina's
pitcher, Bob Thomson, for a single run in
the fourth. With one out, Joe Roenkei
doubled to deep center. Sonny Wooten
followed Roenker to the plate and drove
him home with a single through the box.
ECU got Thomason for a hit in the
fifth, a Texas leaguer by Geoff Beaston,
but after that Thomson retired 11 straight
ECU batters before the fateful set of
events in the ninth.
In the eighth, the Tar Heels took the
lead when Daughtridge tired and loaded
the bases on a hit by Chris Nepp and a
pair of walks to Steve Rackley and
Warrick. With one out, ECU coach
George Williams pulled Daughtridge in
favor of southpaw Bob Feeney.
The first batter that Feeney faced was
Early Jones, the Tar Heel cleanup hitter.
Feeney fanned Jones on a called third
strike for the second out, but walked the
next batter, Bernie Menopace on four
pitches. The walk forced in Nepp with
the go-ahead run for Carolina. Feeney
retired the side by getting Jimmy
Baldwin to fly out to the leftfielder.
ECU went down in order in the eighth
and Carolina followed suit against
Feeney in their half of the ninth, bringing
the Pirates to the plate for the last time
and trailing by a run.
With trie middle of the Pirate lineup at
the plate, the partisan crowd of almost
1,200 fans came to their feet in support
of the Pirates.
Charlie Stevens opened the inning by
grounding out on a check swing at a 3-1
pitch, but Roenker lined a single to
center to keep the Pirate hopes alive.
Sonny Wooten dimmed the ECU
hopes a little when he popped to third for
the second out, but ECU coach George

Dye pleased so far with spring progress
Two weeks have passed by in ECU'S
spring football drills and so far ECU
coach Pat Dye has been pleased with
what he has seen from his players.
"I'm pleased with the way things
have been going said Dye. "We've had a
I lot of contact so far and we've worked a
lot on the fundamentals. We've attempted
to give everyone a chance to play so that
we could get a good look at them all
Dye said the ECU team is shaping up
' on both offense and defense and that the
team has looked possibly the best that it
ever has in his three-year stay at the
school.
"It is a lot further along than we have
ever been in other years said Dye. "But
we have so many more football players
than we have ever had before. This is
because we have lost so few players.
? "We have gotten some outstanding
leadership from next year's seniors and it
seems that all our seniors are going to
be involved in playing next year, too
For the most part, Dye has been
impressed with the offensive develop-
ments, especially in the line where Matt
Mulholland and Randy Parrish have
moved into the first-team spots vacated
by Larry Lundy and Jimbo Walker.
At fullback, though, Dye is still
looking. Dye has three players; Ray
Jones, Tom Daub and Vinoe Kolanko,
working at the slot since Emerson Pickett
has hurt his knee.
Dye also said that Pickett will more
than likely wind up playing defense again
next year.
"We tried moving him in at fullback,
but right now it looks like we will need
him more on defense than at fullback
Pickett's knee injury is expected to
sideline him for the rest of spring
practice, as is the case with linebacker
Harold Fort, who has suffered a pulled
hamstring.
On defense, Dye said he had noted
improvement in the line, with Zack
Valentine, Fred Chavis and Ed Nelson
showing the most improvement. The
linebacking has a little work to do
because of the injuries to Fort and
Pickett, but their injuries will give playing
time to less experienced players at those
positions.
The secondary of Jim Bolding, Ernest
Madison and Reggie Pinkney has brought
praise from Dye, as the fourth position is
up for grabs among about four players,
according to Dye.
"The other secondary position, strong
safety, is up for grabs said Dye. "Greg
Pingston, Steve Hale, Gerald Hall and
Drew Fish are all looking good. Fish is
playing behind Bolding right now and
is looking good
All in all, Dye feels his team could
really put it all together this year and he
noted that the leadership and spirit seem
to be the two foremost qualities in the
team so far this spring.
"We have a chance at being a really
fine football team said Dye. "The kids
believe in themselves, and we have the
senior leadership. We have some good
football players with a lot of ability. If
they play to this ability and some of the
others put out just a little more, we have
a chance to do something special. We
may also have some freshman coming in
who can help us
"The enthusiasm and spirit, though,
have been the highlight of the spring so
far. We are all having a good time and I
am just tickled to death with the
progress we have been making
Pirate linksters come through with third -place finish
It was a different leader this time, but
once again the East Carolina golfers
came through with an impressive
performance against some tough com-
petition. This time the competition was
in the Camp Lejeune Invitational, held
last weekend in Jacksonville, N.C.
With Mike Buckmaster leading the
way with a third-place finish, the Pirate
golfers overtook three teams on the final
day to finish in a tie for second with Eton
College, five strokes off the pace set by
team champion North Carolina.
The Pirate team, however, was
dropped to a third-place finish when Elon
nipped the ECU linksters, 2-3, in a
sudden-death playoff. UNC finished with
885 strokes and Elon and East Carolina
finished with 890 points.
N.C. State was fourth at 892 and the
rest of the field was spread out, with the
final eight teams being separated by a
total of 64 strokes.
The individual champion was Mike
Bright of Appalachian State. Bright
finished with a two over par 218 to nose
out Eton's Chuck Scott by a single
stroke.
ECU'S Buckmaster finished tied for
third with Carolina's Bruce Fleishman at
220, but Fleishman took the third slot by
winning a sudden-death playoff over
Buckmaster.
Buckmaster put together rounds of
76, 73 and 71 for his 220 score, three
strokes ahead of ECU teammate Steve
Ridge, who fired a three-round total of
223. Ridge sandwiched a second-round
69 between rounds of 78 and 76 to finish
at 223.

The ECU tennis team took on three
opponents in four days as they lost to
small college power Atlantic Christian,
6-3 on Thursday, defeated UNOWilming-
ton, 7-2 on Saturday, and fell to Virginia
Tech on Sunday, 7-2.
ECU coach Neal Peterson felt his
team put on a respectable performance
against Atlantic Christian. "They have a
great tennis program and I feel we had a
good showing against them Peterson
said.
The Pirates' Randy Bailey, Jim Ratliff,
and Mitch Pergerson captured victories in
the singles competition against ACC.
Bailey defeated Asad Niaz, 6-2, 7-5,
Ratliff bested Kevin Umsteader, 6-2, 6-1,
and Pergerson beat Sam Modi in, 6-3, 7-6,
for the only Buc wins.
Peterson was especially pleased with
the way Bailey came around. "We placed
him higher than normal for this match
and it seemed to help his game said
Peterson.
The victory over UNC-Wilmington was
the second of the year for the Pirate
netters.
In the singles matches, Tom Durfee,
Doug Getsinger, Mark Callaway, Perger-
son, and Bailey were the ECU winners.
Durfee beat Gordon Dean, 6-0, 0-6,
6-1, for his first win of the year.
Getsinger outlasted David Shackelford,
6-4, 6-4, Callaway defeated Robert Vail,
6-2, 6-3, Pergerson took Danny Currie,
6-2, 6-1, and Bailey beat Andy Bumette,
4-6, 6-0, 6-1.
Peterson was glad to see Durfee get
his win. "Tom played real well all
weekend Peterson said.
In the doubles competition, ECU was
victorious in two of three matches.
ECU'S Callaway and Sam Smith
defeated Bumette and Goulding, 6-3, 7-5,
while the Pirates' Jeff Sutton and Gerry
Felton beat Currie and Dowson, 6-4, 6-2.
"The important thing about the match
with UNC-Wilmington was that we
showed we have some good depth
Peterson said.
The Pirates ran into harder times
against Virginia Tech as Durfee and
Pergerson were the only Bucs able to
come out with wins.
Durfee beat Jim Milley, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2,
and Pergerson defeated Tom Vaughan,
7-6, 2-6, 6-3, in singles matches.
Peterson has been impressed with
Pergerson's play during the year.
Pergerson's record thus far is 5-1.
ECU's record now stands at 2-5. The
Pirates play again today as they visit
Pembroke St.
Two other golfers finished right
behind Ridge. Bob Welton finished with
224 score and Keith Hiller came in with a
225 total. Frank Acker, with 230, and Trip
Boinest, at 234, rounded out the ECU
contingent in the field.
ECU's coach, Mac McLendon, was
pleased with the ECU effort.
"I was real pleased at the outcome
and the way we came back on the final
day to finish tied for second.
"I was a little disappointed that we
lost in the playoff with Elon College, but
happy that we even got that high
It marked the second time in as many
weeks that the Elon team had nosed out
the ECU team. Last week, Elon placed
one stroke ahead of East Carolina in the
Pinehurst Invitational.
"I was really happy for Mike and the
way he played added McLendon. "I am
also pleased with some of the
iprovement made by some of the rest
of the team. There should be a real
positive attitude going into the
tournament this weekend

Pirates take doubleheader sweep from Duke
The Pirates took the first game run to score for the final margin of game, Pete Conaty hurled a four-hitter to
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
ECUs baseball team took two more
games from the big, bad ACC Sunday by
sweeping a doubleheader from Duke,
11-7 and 4-1.
Two wins ran ECU's record to 6M3
against ACC opposition and 8-3 on the
year, going into yesterday's game with
North Carolina.
However, a Saturday split with
Southern Conference foe Davidson put a
damper on the ECU team's success
against the ACC, as the Pirates droooed
to 1-3 in the Southern Conference. The
three losses in conference play will make
it very hard for the East Carolina nine to
rebound and win the league title this
year.
The Pirates took the first game
against Davidson, 3-0, as Dean Reavis
hurled a two-hitter at the Wildcats.
ECU got all it needed in the first
when Geoff Beaston opened the Pirate
half of the inning with a triple and Steve
Bryant followed with a single to score
him. ECU added two more runs in the
second to build up a 3-0 lead after two
innings. Reavis took over from there and
blanked the Wildcats without allowing a
runner as far as second base.
Bryant was 3-for-3 for the game.
In the second game, Davidson jumped
on starter Bob Feeney for two unearned
runs in the fourth to go ahead 3-1. The
Wildcats went ahead when ECU
shortstop Rick Koryda threw wild to the
plate, allowing a run to score and two
baserunners to move into scoring
position. Koryda's error put Davidson up
by 2-1 and a sacrifice allowed the second

Williams had plenty of moves left to
make.
First, Williams sent 'reshman Macon
Move up to bat for Robert Brinkley and
Move delivered with a single to left,
moving Roenker into second as the
possible tying run.
Williams then made a questionable
move by sending Pete Paradossi up to the
plate to bat for the free-swinging and
power hitting Addison Bass.
The move delivered for East Carolina,
though, as Paradossi drilled a hit to third
that was bobbled by Warrick for an error.
Warrick's error loaded the bases for ECU
with Rick Koryda coming to the plate.
What happened next will undoubtedly
linger in the minds of both the Carolina
team and the ECU team for quite awhile.
Koryda chopped a grounder to
shortstop Kevin Haeberle for what
appeared to be an easy force at second.
Haeberle however, bobbled the ball long
enough to lose the force at second and
then threw wildly to first trying to retire
Koryda.
Haeberle's throw skipped past the
first baseman, as Roenker crossed the
plate, and Moye broke for home on a
do-or-die dash for the win. Moye crossed
the plate ahead of the relay throw, giving
the ECU team the win in one of the
wildest finishes at Harrington Field in a
long time.
The two unearned runs got Feeney off
the hook for the run he had walked in
and gave the Pirate lefty a 2-2 season
mark. In all fairness to Feeney, though,
th? single walk was the only blemish on
his two-inning stint. Thomson was the
loser for Carolina, his record falling to
2-2.
The win hiked ECU'S season mark to
9-3 on the year and finished the team's
slate of games against ACC teams.
ECU travels to Buies Creek tomorrow
to meet Campbell College in a single
game, before returning home Sunday for
a 1 :30 doubleheader with Atlantic

victory for the Wildcats.
In the seventh, though, ECU put up a
last inning rally that pit the final score at
3-2.
With two out, Bryant walked and
Charlie Stevens singled. Joe Reonker
reached on an error and Robert Brinkley,
batting for Addison Bass, grounded to
second for an apparent out. But the
second-baseman booted the ball,
allowing Bryant to score and loading the
bases. Glenn Card popped up to end the
inning, and the game, with ECU one run
shy.

the year in as many starts and dropped

Time- Out
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
A New Trial For The Hurricane
Justice may finally find its way into the life of Rubin Carter.
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was convicted of the triple slaying of three white persons
in 1967, during a period of racial tension in Paterson, New Jersey, which is where
Carter was living at the time.
There is more to Carter's story than simply a conviction for murder. First, the trial
was clouded with evidences of impropriety in the testimony of several key witnesses
for the prosecution, as well as hints of pure downright prejudice on the part of the
presiding judge. Second, Carter at the time was the number one contender for the
world middleweight title and prior to his conviction he had been scheduled to fight
the current champion, Dick Tiger. Carter's arrest and prosecution put an end to this.
Carter and his co-defendant John Artis have been serving nine years of their three
concurrent life sentences, but the work of many lawyers, most notably Fred Hogan-a
former correctional officer who had known Carter in his earlier days as a young
convict has shed new light into the Carter case.
A few years back, two of the key witnesses for the prosecution admitted that they
had lied under oath in return for police promises to not prosecute them for crimes
they themselves had committed. As a matter of fact, these two men themselves had
been placed at the scene of the crime on the evening of the murders that Carter and
Artis have.been serving time for having committed.
Now, finally, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that Carter and Artis should be
given another trial.
In their decision, the court ruled unanimously that Carter and Artis had been
denied a fair trial because the prosecution had failed to reveal promises of leniency it
had made to the two key witnesses whose testimony had helped place Carter and
Artis at the murder scene. These were the same two witnesses who have since
adm:ited they committed perjury in their testimony.
For the last nine years Carter had claimed his innocence, but his pleas had fallen
on mostly deaf years until Hogan and several others became involved in the case.
Now maybe Carter has a chance of being set free, even though nine years of his life
have been taken from him, as well as his boxing career.
Essentially what happened to Carter was that he was an ex-convict who set out to
make a name for himself by becoming a prize fighter-and he became a very good
one. Worse for Carter, was that he was very proud and was boastful at times of his
pride and the right for himself, as well as other black men to stand up for themselves.
At that time, it was a time when self-righteous northern racists were practicing their
disquised racism. This was during the period in the 1960's when riots were
commonplace. Carter fell victim to a "frame-up or so it seems, and wound up in jail
for a crime he did not commit.

Carter relates his story in his autobiography THE SIXTEENTH ROUND For those
who may be interested in Carter's plight it is a must to read.
Some justice may come to Carter after all, but it will be at least nine years too
late. And in this case, it may not be better late than never
FOUR TEAMS REMAIN IN NCAA PLAY
The four final teams remaining in the NCAA are not that surprising, really. Now
Rutgers and Michigan and UCLA and Indiana will square off for the right to play for
the National championship in Philadelphia next Monday.
All four teams took convincing victories over their opposition, and it will be hard
to pick who will square off in the finals. UCLA is the defending national champion,
Rutgers and Indiana are both undefeated and Michigan has to be considered the
darkhorse of the bunch. This time, you make your pick?I'll pick Rutgers and Indiana
in the finals.
ECU BASEBALL TEAM FACES AN UPHILL BATTLE
Last Saturday's doubleheader split with Davidson leaves the ECU baseball te
in a bind before their Southern Conference season is even half over.
The Pirate diamondmen, who were scheduled to meet the North Carolina Tar Heeis
yesterday, have fared well against their ACC opponents, sweeping doubleheaders
from State and Maryland, but in the SCC, they stand at 1-3 on the season.
With three losses already under their belts, the Pirates will have an extremely
tough time trying to win the league title this year, as it did in 1970 and 1974. The
Pirates have never finished lower than fourth in the conference in baseball, but with
three losses and ten games still remaining, the ECU team has its work cut out for it
there, too.
And it is too bad, because the Pirates are not a bad team. They have a good team
on paper-with more power and better players than in previous years-and the good
pitching which has always been a trademark of ECU baseball teams.
Where then does the problem creep up? Why can't the Pirates win within their own
conference, when they are so successful outside the conference? I'm sure the players
themselves are asking these questions. The Southern Conference title, unfortunately,
is the only sure ticket for ECU to qualify for the NCAA championships - a trip the
Pirates made when they won the title in 1974.
But more important perhaps is the effect a bad season could have on the ECU
prestige in the conference. Ever since the talk of the school leaving the conference
first materialized, the ECU teams have had trouble succeedina in the maior revenue
sports, while still turning in fine performances in sports like wrestling and swimming
on a conference level and on a national level.
Now it seems another decision needs to be made. Where does ECU'S interest in
terms of a successful program lie? Does it lie on the schools success within its own
conference or should success be scaled on the basis of the overall record of the team
in relation to non-conference contests also?
The baseball team is a good one, but its bad start in the conference has put a
damper on its success so far this year. Hopefully, the Pirate baseball team will win
the remainder of its conference games and continue to do well outside the
conference-for they have the ability and talent to do so.
