SGA passes salary reduction bill
By KENNETH CAMPBELL
Assistant News Editor
The SGA Legislature. Monday night,
voted unanimously to accept a bill reducing
the salaries of SGA executive salaries by
as much as 18 percent.
The bill, introduced by Legislator Ray
Hudson, was a campaign promise of SGA
President-elect Tim Sullivan. In effect,
Sullivan has cut his own salary by 18
percent.
Other salaries reduced in an 8 percent
cut is the Vice President's salary, and a 9
percent cut in the Treasurer's salary.
"This is the first campaign promise
fulfilled said Sullivan. "It won't be the
last
The bill reduces the SGA President's
salary from $175 monthly to $150. The
Treasurer's salary is cut from $135 monthly
to $120, and the Vice President's salary is
cut from $110 to $100.
"We have a problem of salary
inflation Sullivan told the Legislature.
"A full third of students' fees goes for
salaries, paying SGA staff and publications
staff manned by students.
"This year, when these organizations
saw that the SGA had a surplus, they
started thinking along the line of increas-
ing salaries instead of goals and projects.
This trend has got to stop. With this bill,
we have put our house in order
Sullivan gave another reason for salary
cuts.
"I think SGA has lost some of the faith
students put in it he said. "The students
have to be shown that we are not in it for
the money, social status, or the recom-
mendations we can get from the adminis-
tration
Sullivan told the Legislature that there
will be a budget surplus at the end of the
year.
"It is going to take time for my group to
put the SGA money to use stated
Sullivan. "This means there will be a
surplus at the end of this year.
"1 will fight to make it as small as
possible. It is not there to collect
cobwebs.
"The overall amount saved in a year
from the salary cuts won't be a hell of a
lot according to Sullivan. "We've set the
trend. I hope we've shown our people what
we're here for
In other major business, the SGA
Sullivan views presidency
By MIKE TAYLOR
Editor-in-Chief
Being president of the Student Govern-
ment Association is mainly just an
administrative job, most students think.
But, the newly elected student to that
post sees the position as one of a "super
salesman
Tim Sullivan, a Burlington native who
, was elected to the top SGA post two weeks
ago, sees his primary task as 'selling
students on the idea that the SGA is for the
students first
"Students for the most part don't act
overly interested in the SGA and I can't
blame them, mainly since in the past the
SGA has not responded to the needs of the
average student Sullivan contended.
"My main duty to begin with is to get
students interested in the SGA again, to
get them to think that the SGA works for
them Sullivan added.
Sullivan pointed to the decline in
student interest in the past few years as a
disturbing trend which he hopes to end.
"When the Union separated from the
SGA several years ago they took the
popular portion of the SGA with them.
They took the concerts and entertainment
that had been provided through the SGA.
That left the student government with the
stuff that most students don't get very
interested in Sullivan explained.
Type size changed
Editor's Note: Readers of FOUNTAIN-
HEAD may notice that in today's issue
some of the type size Is different from
regular "FOUNTAINHEAD style Doe to
a transition to new production equipment
the regular type size had to be discarded.
We would like to apologize for the change
and FOUNTAINHEAD will return to the
regular type size sometime next week.
Sullivan, who served one term in the
legislature his freshman year, thinks that
there are several ways to start students
taking a more active role in student
government.
Better communications is one area that
Sullivan hopes to use to improve the
students' perception of student govern-
ment.
"We need to get more of the activities
of the student government to the students.
So many times they only hear about the
negative aspects of the SGA. But, there is a
positive side to the SGA and we need to get
that story out Sullivan added.
An SGA newsletter which would be
printed monthly is one idea Sullivan hopes
may improve communications.
Secondly, Sullivan hopes to show
students that the students in the SGA are
sincere in their work and not simply after
the job because of the money, the social
prestige or job contacts it offers.
"I did not run for the money and I
intend to show that Sullivan declared.
The newly elected president hopes the
SGA will consider a reduction in salaries
before he takes office next Sunday night.
"We have to restore faith in the SGA,
and I think this will do it some by showing
people that we are not up here after the
money Sullivan continued.
Sullivan also hopes that better com-
munications will break down what he feels
has been an isolation barrier about the
SGA by most students.
Sullivan also hopes that his opening up
of his cabinet to any student will invite
more students to participate in student
government.
"I know in the past that cabinet posts
were promised during elections. But, I did
not promise any job to anyone. I invite
anyone who wants to apply for one of the
jobs to simply come by the SGA office. The

appropriated $2,000 for wall paper for halls
and meeting room (in the SGA wing of
Mendenhall. The student union has
already agreed to pay $2,000 for wall
paper. The wall paper is the same which is
in other areas of Mendenhall. It should last
about 20 years, according to Dean Rudolph
Alexander.
Originally, $3,500 was asked for in the
bill. But the Legislature decided not to
appropriate any money to buy wall
covering for SGA offices.
And in other business, the Legislature
approved a bill increasing the SGA
Confidential Loan Fund by $2,500. Loans
up to $150 may be borrowed from this fund
if the money is used for anything dealing
with pregnancies, not just abortions,
according to SGA President Jimmy Honey-
cutt.
Before the bill was approved, the fund
was empty, according to Honeycutt.

Flu vaccination planned
By LARRY L1EBERMAN
Staff Writer
Four major drug companies are trying
to produce enough swine flu vaccine to
innoculatc 215 million Americans by early
next fall.
The President is asking Congress to
appropriate $135 million to pay for the
manufacture of the vaccine.
This preparation is being made to
combat the swine flu which is similar to the
worldwide pandemic of 1918-19 which
killed 500.000 Americans and 20 million
world-wide.
This will be the biggest vaccination
program since the 1960s polio immuniza-
tions, according to U.S. News & World
Report's April 5 issue.
Blood studies show that people 50
years and older have antibodies, meaning
they were previously infected by the swine
flu.
The swine flu mortality rate is higher
than other flu epidemics.
Besides being dangerous to the very
old, the disease can be fatal to healthy
people between the ages of 25 and 40.
Scientists at the Center of Disease
Control in Atlanta discovered four cases of
the swine flu at Fort Dix, N.J Army base.
One of four recruits have died.
Dr. Harry H. McLean of the East
Carolina University (ECU) Infirmary said,
"This virus is making us all go back to the
books because we didn't live through it
"Very few people under 50 years would
have any resistance to swine flu and these
few are people who handle swine.
"The companies making the vaccine
are having trouble because the cultures
don't grow fast enough for enough vaccine
to be made.
"The virus must then be inactivated to
be made into vaccine
"No flu vaccine is 100 percent effective,
but if the vaccine is made in time, it would
lower the death rate by 80-90 percent
There are two main strains of influ-
enzas: the A and the B strains. Hong Kong
and Asian flu are mutants of A, said Dr.
McLean.
"The A strain flu's are much more
common than the B's. There has only been
one small outbreak of a B flu in the last 5
years and it was in Great Britain.
"Swine flu is thought to be a variant of
the A strain but it could be a completely
new flu said Dr. McLean.
Trustees to decide on
conference withdrawal
According to a report from high university officials Monday, the Board of Trustees are
to meet today and make a decision on ECU leaving the Southern Conference.
According to the sources, the Board Is expected to vote for the university to withdraw
from the conference and for the go-ahead on plans to expand Ffcklen Stadium's ��-�
capacity.
A committee which was set up by ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins has reportedly reached
a decision and will recommend withdrawal from the conference In July, 1977. The
trustees, according to a member of the Board, are expected to adopt the measure.
The plans to enlarge the stadium seating capacity from 20,000 to 35,000 or 40,000 has
been under consideration for quite awhile and that recommendation, too, to expected to
pass.
The Board of Trustees are scheduled to meet at 2:00 this afternoon In Mendenhall
Student Center.

New post aids students
After almost a year's negotiating with the Greenville City Council,
persistence has paid off for SGA president Jimmy Honeycutt and president-elect
Tim Sullivan, and the real winners are the students at ECU.
The "win" comes in the form of representation on the city council by an ECU
student. Under the agreement, accepted by Honeycutt recently, an ECU student
will sit on the City Council in a non-voting capacity.
Even though the ECU representative will not have a vote on the Council, the
student will be in a valuable position to give the board input on a variety of
decisions that affect ECU students.
The concession by the city fathers is important for a variety of reasons. The
need for better communications between the student body and city government
is most apparent in the wake of last year's Halloween police-student riot.
From strictly an economical standpoint, the role of the student body in city
life is important. The ECU student body annually pumps an estimated
$15,000,000 into the economy. And, with that kind of economical clout the
students deserve a forum.
The new agreement accepted by Honeycutt was not something easily gained.
It took a lot of hard bargaining by Honeycutt, but mainly Sullivan, to gain the
current position. The Council at first hoped to appease the student body by a
token representative who would have no more right than any other spectator in
the crowd.
But, Honeycutt and Sullivan would not accept those first initial token
offerings and held out for a better position.
The Council finally took the demand seriously and the wait was worthwhile,
Of course, it is still up to the City Council to carry tnrougn with their original
concessions and give the student representative the rights promised.
Sullivan, before the legislature last Monday, assured the position was more
than "just a liaison position as in the past and, that the ECU representative
would be in a position to make a significant contribution for the students.
Sullivan also called city government "foreign affairs" in his short address to
the student government. And, while it sounds funny at first, Sullivan is right.
City government, even though it so greatly affects the lives of ECU students, is
"foreign" to the students since they get no input into the Council.
The student representative is a good first step.
Hopefully Sullivan will pursue the foreign affairs line during his
administration. Maybe one day city government can be moved into a "domestic
affairs" area in the SGA.
Elections praise
Last fall we were very critical of the way the legislature elections were held.
But, the job turned in on the elections just completed deserved a very
favorable rating.
The elections this time around were well organized and planned and went off
without a major hitch. For that, Election Chairman Roy Turner and his boss, SGA
President Jimmy Honeycutt, deserve praise.
One good move was to set up ballot boxes in Mendenhall and Allied Health
which registered about 150 votes together. While the total is not large, it
represented many students who would not have had a chance to vote elsewhere.
"Were it left to me to deckle whether e should have a government without
newrpapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to
prefe. the latter

With Fountainhead stories
New Bern paper agrees
Editor's Note: This editorial appeared in
the New Bern Sun-Journal March 4th, 1976
and pertains to stories and editorials that
ran in Fountainhead February 19th and
24th of this year.
Fountainhead, the student newspaper
at Hast Carolina University recently broke
the story that over !00 persons were
receiving tree copies of the c.impus
yearbook.
Among those getting the frcebies
which cost students $9.50 - were various
university VIPs, including the Chancellor's
office, the office of the dean of student
affairs, the registrar's office and Leo
Jenkins, the college president.
An editorial in the same edition rapped
the giveaways, noting students paid tor
their copies and declaring "the practice
should be stopped now
Jenkins, it said, was giving free copies
to the members of the school's board of
trustees. The student publication took the
position that if Jenkins wants to give the
books away, that's fine, but he should
either pay for the copies or approach the
student government association for free
copies. It is the SGA which finances
publication of the yearbook to the tune of
$60,000 a year.
When Jenkins learned of the student
paper's gripe, he promptly returned 22
copies of the yearbook. Jenkins said if the
editor of the yearbook wants the practice
stopped, "that's fine with me
Me also advised the Fountainhead that
he did not ask tor the free yearbooks and
that they were first given to the administra-
tion several years ago by the yearbook
editor for free distribution. Times change.
This year's editorial noted: "If all the
tree yearbooks that were given away were
paid for the Buc (the yearbook) would have
over $1,000 in additional funds to work
with
I he student paper is quite right on this.
There's another angle, also. Universi-
ties, in particular of all institutions in the
nation, are generally held to be places that
exemplify the democratic process.
Yet. too often, they turn out not to be,
with students' wishes completely disre-
garded by the whim of a single administra-
tor and even their money spent for special
'interests as in the above.
I he irony filters down to high school. In
Havelock High School, for example, the
senior class was given the option of
choosing its own graduating colors for the
robes. A majority of them favor gold, but
that color is getting the nix from the
principal.
In other words, the students were given
a democratic process for choosing, yet
because their choice is not the choice of the
school principal, he plans to abolish their
wishes in place of his own.
It is well for those in education to
remember that lip service to democratic
institutions is not enough. If we teach the
young and near-grown that the democratic-
process can be customarily subverted, then
we can expect that they will take their place
in society ready to do the same.

Says student actions are immature
Language alternatives worry professor
To Fountainhead:
Although some of our Foreign Lang-
uage Department professors have already
expressed their concerns about the recent
resolution of the SGA to drop or offer an
alternative to foreign languages, 1 cannot
let all this pass by without voicing my own
reactions to the issue. I am very concerned
for three very important reasons first, as
a parent, second, as a conscientious
citizen, and third, as an educator. Every
year there seems to arise the question in
the Higher Education System as to the
importance or relevance of foreign langu-
age for the future university graduate who
is going to communicate in a society which
he claims does not require any foreign
language, as well as cutting out or
abolishing altogether the study of a foreign
language because it is a "needless"
subject. Consequently, those students (and
some professors) argue, debate, and
belittle the issue over and over and
overHaving been a student most of my
life, I cannot help but view their reactions
as immature. They are, for the most part,
those students who haven't the remotest
idea what they want to do with their lives,
or they apparently want to graduate with
the least amount of study possible. To put
it bluntly, they want a degree without
expending any effort or sacrifice on their
part. And. needless to say, the learning of
a foreign language requires a certain
amount of self-discipline, serious concen-
tration, and intellectual memorization
study habits they view as old-fashioned
and retrogressive. Fortunately, not all our
students have this negative attitude toward
foreign languages. There are some foreign
language majors and some non-majors who
have confided in me that they have enjoyed
learning Spanish, and their grades reflect
their seriousness and good study habits.
Now that I have become a naturalized
citizen of the United States, 1 am pre 'id to
call myself a "norteamericana neverthe-
less. I cannot help but be terribly upset
regarding the reputation that the people of
the United States have in other parts of the
world as being lazy, selfish, or incapable
of learning a foreign language. If we view
our North American heritage realistically,
we must realize that we are not only
surrounded by Spanish speaking neigh-

bors, but that there are more than
16,000,000 Spanish speaking people who
make up part of this great country. Too,
United States history actually began with
the Spanish colonization of Saint Augus-
tine, Florida, in 1565twenty years before
the English attempt at Roanoke Island and
over forty years before Jamestown. For
these and other reasons too numerous to
list here, I maintain that to call Spanish a
foreign language here in the United States
is nothing short of intellectual bigotry. Do
we consider ourselves so self-sufficient
with English that we want to neglect
learning those other languages being
spoken here in the United States as well?
Other countries require everyone to study
several languages. In the Philippine
Islands, for example, students must learn
three languages Tagalog, English and
Spanish. Are we moving backwards here at
ECU? We would be the only university in
the 16 institutions that comprise the
University of North Carolina System that
would not require some foreign language.
Is the SGA trying to reinforce the
reputation that ECU has of being a 'party
school" rather than an institution of
serious learning? Too. speaking as a
parent, 1 would hestitate to send my own
sons to a school where the education they
would receive would be so intellectually
limited, so regionalized, and so provincial.
Even if the learning of a foreign language
would have no direct consequences to
them it would at least better help them to
learn their own English language. In
closing, allow me to paraphrase the issue
with the following: Man's capacity to
better understand the world and depart
from his own inborn ignorance may depend
on how many languages he is willing or
capable of learning.

Concerning foreign language issue
Geology prof sets record straight
To Fountainhead:
1 would like to correct an erroneous
impression left by a recent Fountainhead
article dealing with student opposition to
the foreign language requirement. Dr.
Susan McDaniel was misquoted. The
Geology Department has not dropped its
foreign language requirements for the
B.A. and B.S.P. degrees and has no
intention of doing so in the foreseeable
future. What Dr. McDaniel said was that
most departments offer a teaching degree
for which a foreign language is not
required. 1 think it is commendable that
students are interested in strengthening
their skills by taking courses such as
computer programming which may not be

required for their majors, but these courses
are in no way a substitute for the language
arts. It is for such situations that the
elective hours were designed.
At the SGA-sponsored retreat for
geology faculty and students the employ-
ment situation was the major subject of
discussion. Mr. Samuel Frazier. chief
geologist of Gulf Exploration Corporation,
was asked by a student what additional
specialized geology courses could be
offered at East Carolina to make our
students more competitive in the job
market. He was quite emphatic in saying
that specialized courses were undesirable,
since the employer would train new
employees in techniques required by their
jobs. He said the undergraduate degree
should be as broadly based as possible and
additional emphasis should be placed on
English courses. One of the many
advantages of studying a foreign language
is that it develops an understanding of the
mechanics of language and feel for the
proper use of any language (including
one's own). Not only will geology majors
continue studying a foreign language of
their choice, but they will also be
encouraged to take additional English

however, that their F.nglish instructors will

Student seeks
action on
attack cases
To Fountainhead:
An incident occurred on Saturday,
March 27th, that we feel should be brought
to the attention of all ECU students. At
12:30, Saturday afternoon a man attempted
to attack a girl in Slay Dorm while she was
taking a shower. The only identification
that can be given is that he was a young,
short, light-skinned black man. Evidently
he knew the dorm was relatively deserted
because of the week-end exodus, and made
a point of closing the heavy bathroom
doors. Fortunately, she managed to scare
him off by her screams.
First of all, we feel we should warn all
female students. Most of the fear of the
past attacks has worn off-well, we advise
you to take the necessary precautions to
protect yourself. Lock your doors when you
leave your room or when you go to sleep,
don't walk alone at night, and notify your
Residence Advisor or the security if you
see any suspicious looking people. Be
careful- he is getting bolder. It happened
right in the middle of the day in a dorm.
You could be next.
Secondly, we would like to see some
action taken. This is no longer a joking
matter. To get something done though, we
need your support. With over 5,000 girls in
this school, there should be more than
enough people to get something done. Men
and women- show your concern. Call
758-8585 and let us know you are
interested in working with us. We will keep
you informed and let you know what you
can do to help. Please let's end the fear on
this campus. A follow-up letter will be sent
to the Fountainhead next week to keep
students informed of our progress.

Cohabiting added to marriage process
By KEN CARPDNKY
Staff Writer
A study of socio-cultural characteristics
and personality traits of cohabiting and
married couples by an ECU professor and
two Virginia professors will be published
this Spring in "The International Journal
of Sociology of the Family
Dr. Edward "Mel" Markowski, of the
ECU department of child development and
family relations, worked itvonjunction with
two professors from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State College and compared
50 married couples with 50 cohabiting
(living together) couples to learn differen-
ces in socio-cultural and personality
factors.
"I see cohabiting as thechoice of more
and more people in the process leading to
marriage said Dr. Markowski.
"The process used to be dating, going
steady, engagement, and finally marriage.
The increasing number of couples cohabi-
ting adds another stage to this process
The couples studied were living near
two Florida universities.
Cohabiting individuals of opposite
sexes generally favor decreasing support fo
intercollegiate athletics, participate in
more political demonstrations, and use
more LSD, speed, and marijuana than
married individuals, according to the
study.
"The main difference was found in the
family backgrounds of the males said
Markowski.
"Married males had attended church
more frequently as they were growing up
than had cohabiting males
The study shows that cohabitors also
have a larger number of sexual partners,
are less likely to rate their sexual
experiences as satisfactory, and participate
more frequently in group sex than do
married individuals.
"Cohabitors also tend to have a higher
frequency of emotional maladjustment
said Markowski.
"Of course, in many cases, maladjust-
ment can be linked to a higher use of
drugs
According to Markowski, statistics have
shown that 80 percent of males and 40
percent of females would cohabit, while 27
percent of college males and 20 percent of
college females actually are cohabiting.
"These figures are a few years old and
I'm sure the statistics wou'u be higher
now said Markowski.
"The women's movement and availa-
bility of contraceptives are certain factors
in the increase in the number of people
living together. Women have more feelings
of equality and freedom
Some authorities say pressure is now on
the male to perform sexually, in many
instances, and reverse or equal seduction
is common, said Markowski.
According to the study, the average
cohabitor is over 20 while married couples
are slightly older.
"Juniors, seniors, and graduate stu-
dents are more likely to cohabit than

Dr. Markowski is now seeking to
interview married students who lived
together before marriage. His office is in
room 124 of the Home Economics building.
"I want to find out cohabitation has any
effect on a couple's first year of marriage
said Markowski.
"Some of the purposes of the study will
be to find if cohabitation has any effect on a
couple's first year of marriage better,
easier or whatever.
According to Markowski, cohabitation
is not a sign of decadence, nor is the
institution of marriage on its way out.
"Marriage is changing said Markow
ski. The increase in life expectancy has
made marriage longer and technology has
given married couples more time toge-

This exta time together has come faster

ECU receives Science Foundation grant
Bv DEBBIE JACKSON
Staff Writer
ECU has received a $14,920 grant from
the National Science Foundation to hold
the Student Science Training Institute in
Physics and astronomy here June 23 to
Aug. 3, according to Dr. Paul G.
Varlashkin of the ECU Physics depart-
ment.
Varlashkin said ECU received the grant
after the foundation approved a detailed
proposal he submitted last fall.
The institute is aimed at gifted high
school juniors or sophomores, said Var-
lashkin.
"They have to be very highly qualified
students who are interested in science in
order to enter the institute he said.
Varlashkin, director of the program,
said the institute will accommodate 30
students who will be divided into three
areas of research-nuclear physics, astron-
omy and solid state physics.
Dr. Edward J. Sekora, Dr. Byron
Coulter and Varlashkin will teach the
various courses, according to Varlashkin.
"The students are going to get the
opportunity to look over each other's
shoulders, so that they go away knowing
something about three different fields of
research instead of just one said
Varlashkin.
He said the students will receive no
college credit for the program but that their
schools will receive notice of their
participation.
Varlashkin cited the cost for the
individual student as $270 plus $15 for food
and activity fee.
He said the students will be selected on
the basis of applications, transcripts,
Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, Intelli-
gence Quotient scores and class standings.
They must also submit 300-word essay on
why they want to participate.
"After the applications are in, then, I
and me other two teachers in the institute
will rate each application said Varlash-
kin.

He said he anticipated many appli-
cations from New York, several from N.C.
and a few from all over the country.
Varlashkin stated that the purpose of
the institute is not only to give several
students a better education, but also to
allow them to return to their schools and
tell peers what science is really like.
"It looks like we're certainly going to
get very high ability students, and 1 think
with that caliber of student they will get a
very unique experience
Varlashkin said ECU will benefit from
the program in several ways.
"One of the benefits will be publicity
and the other is that, having once gotten
the students on campus and having shown
tiiem what it's like, some of them will come
back to ool here
He ac ed that, if the program is
successful his year, the chances of a
renewal next year would be quite favor-
able.
"1 would hope it turns out to be a
continuing program concluded Varlash-
kin.
Applications must be postmarked by
April 17, 1976.

Graduate students in ECU are con-
sidered students only while in the
classroom and have little or no access to
campus facilities and campus oriented
activities.
Phil Arrington, a graduate student in
English, said lack of infirmary care is one
problem.
"Those of us in the grad school live
through the winter in constant fear that
we'll contract flu, or some other sickness,
and be forced to spend our food money on
medical bills said Arrington.
"Since the majority of grad students
are classified as part time students, the
infirmary will not treat them said
Arrington.
This means that they must seek medical
attention off campus at a much higher cost.
"Of the 1.500 stud nts currently
enrolled in graduate program at ECU,
1,300 are considered part-time students. A
part-time student isn't allowed to pay
activity fees which means they have no
voice in the SGA said Arrington.
Other drawbacks of being a part-time
grad student include paying full public
admission price for all concerts. Playhouse
productions, athletic events and other
campus sponsored activities, and being
barred from the free films and guest
speakers.
"In relation to anything sponsored by
the school, we are treated as the general
public said Arrington.
"The SGA is currently considering the
placement of a graduate student repre-
sentative within its framework said
Arrington.
"1 think grad students should be
allowed to vote in campus related matters
or have a full-time graduate student
representative in the SGA said Arring-
ton.

SGA cabinent posts open
SGA President Elect Tim Sullivan is
currently screening applicants for SGA
cabinet positions for his administration.
Sullivan will be interviewing students for
these positions from three o'clock to six
o'clock daily.
The positions available are Secretary of
Information, Secretary of Academic Af-
fairs, Student Welfare Secretary, Secretary
of Minority Affairs, and Secretary of
Internal Affairs.
A new position created by Sullivan,
Community Relations Secretary, is also
available. This position was created
because "the problem between students
and the citizens of Greenville is basically a
problem of ignorance on both sides
according to Sullivan.
"They are strangers to us, and we don't
know them
Sullivan said he is optimistic. If the
people in the city really know what ECU
students are like, ninety percent of our
problems are solved, he said.
My cabinet has got to be strong and
creative, Sullivan said. "Much of my time
will be spent on trying to heal some of the
wounds from Halloween. I will also be
trying to bring back some basic respect in
student government.
"I'm no doctor, but I'd like to try my
own brand of medicine for solving the
ailment which caused the Halloween
disturbance
The Secretary of Information will
coordinate the SGA with local television
and radio stations, according to Sullivan.
Also, this officer will pass out information
to different campus groups, and to the
Fountainhead, to keep the line open.
Academic Affairs Secretary handles
retreats, and acts as a go between students
and departments.
In the past, the Student Welfare
Secretary has published books on restau-
rants in town, evaluated banks, apart-
ments, and investigated student com-
plaints.
The Secretary of Minority Affairs acts
as a liaison between SGA and minority
students and minority organizations on
campus.
Finally, the Secretary of Internal
Affairs will handle special projects of the
SGA. This person will also handle student
government relations with campus groups.
SULLIVAN
Continued from page 1.
only qualification is that the person be
willing to work Sullivan added.
Sullivan also hopes during his adminis-
tration to make student life a little more
equitable to all students.
"There are many groups of students on
the campus that are usually ignored by the
SGA, mainly the non-Greek day students,
freshmen and blacks. I think we should
work out more programs for these
students he added.
Sullivan will also strive to improve
student-community relations in the next
year.
"Nobody thought about better relations
until some heads were cracked at Hal-
loween. We have had some positive
movement since then in the form of the
recently created student post on the city
council. This is a good step but there is still
a lot to be done Sullivan continued.
Sullivan also warned some city resi-
dents who he thinks are "trying to close
downtown
"The downtown area has its bad points.
But, to try and close this area that offers
the student most of his entertainment and
social life will alienate and dig even a
deeper gap between the students and the
community Sullivan warned.
On his recent election over a field of
four other candidates Sullivan admitted
that he pulled a lot of underclassmen votes.
"I knew I would not get a lot of senior
votes since some of the major programs I
have worked with in the past were not too
popular with seniors. But, I did count on
getting a lot of votes from freshmen and
sophomores and I think that 1 got most of
them Sullivan added.

tion for the use of two other machines.
"In the past we have had to rent and
lease machines from Compugraphic. Now
we have sent the old machines back and
are able to save all those funds for other
purposes Taylor explained.
"While actual savings for the SGA will
be small this year, there will be a
tremendous savings for the SGA i
"ear Taylor predicted.

Greenville psychics can join together now
By KENT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
Practically everyone has an opinion,
educated or not, on psychic phenomena
and the supernatural. Some common
phenomena people claim to experience
include telepathy, clairvoyance, and
telekinesis. People who claim to have
these or other gifts are known as
psychics.
Most psychics use some of the
psychic sciences, sometimes called
para-psychology, to make predictions or
satisfy a curiosity. Psychic sciences
include astrology, tarot, numerology,
palmistry, etc
Lois Dean's specialties are astrology
and palmistry. Since 1971 she has been
interested in various psychic sciences,
and has studied the subject extensively.
Dean is a graduate of ECU, with degrees
in mathematics and English. She has
been a teacher, technical writer, and
editor. She recently has begun the Center
for Study and Growth, here in the
Greenville area.
"The Center doesn't have a physical
location as of yet, and we have not been
chartered as a non-profit organization
yet, but it should come soon Dean
said.
Things do seem to be going well, for
:he center, considering it's just been
started There are two study groups
working through the Center, with a
bi-weekly newsletter published for the
Center's 100 members. Classes are being
planned, but so far astrology and
palmistry are the only ones offered,
because Dean is presently the only
instructor.
Two speakers on the psychic sciences
are coming this week. Dean says such
activities will eventually be offered on a
regular basis.
Center classes will be structured
according to the interests of its
members. So far, interest has been
expressed in the areas of acupuncture,
hypnosis, biorhythm, and reincarnation.
Dean is more concerned with the use
of the supernatural for personal growth
' -n to prediction of future events.
"I don't use predictive astrology; I use
person-centered' astrology she said.
"This is the reason for the name of the
center
Dean's interest in the supernatural
was born when she met an acclaimed
Florida psychic, Herb Silas, in 1971.
Silas was living in Casadegra, a small
town known to have an unusual amount
of interest in psychic phenomenon
among its residents.
Silas took a folded piece of paper
with Dean's signature on it, and
according to Dean, accurately told her
facts about her employer, how many
children she had, that she was divorced
and many other facts he had no way of
knowing
Since then, Dean could tell you of
many other experiences she's had.
"I don't spend my energy defending
astrology anymore Dean said. "The best
way a person can find out if it is valid or
not is to study it
"Astrology has much in common with
omer disciplines; no one claims to know
all the answers, or else we would stop
asking questions Dean said.

Course gains popularity at ECU
DowellandFaulkner explain folklore
By LINDA BASS
Staff Writer
If you've ever tried to get into a folklore
class and have been closed out of it at least
three times, you probably realize that there
has been an upswing in interest in folklore.
Some readers might be asking them-
selves, "Exactly what is folklore
Folklore is composed of the unrecorded
traditions of a people. It includes almost
everything from legends to songs to
customs to proverbs to jokes and even to
hand-made toys.
In fact, as the old saying goes, it
includes "almost everything but the
kitchen sink which incidentally would
also be considered folklore (the saying ,
that is)
Relics of folklore are extremely numer-
ous and may be found everywhere. One
well known piece of folklore is the story of
the devil's hoof prints at Bath, NX.
The story goes that at the beginning of
a horse race, one rider yelled to his horse,
"lake me to victory or take me to Hell
The man did not win the race and it is said
that to this day the horse's hoof prints are
still there.
Nothing can be done to cover them;
the) will always return, hence, they are
called the devil's hoof prints.
(Maybe that's just the way the ole" devil
welcomes newcomers.)
Another example of folklore is the
superstition that if a black eat crosses your
path you will have bad luck.
There are also proverbial phrases such
as hot as a June bride in a feather
bed
The study of folklore is a relatively new
science. In fact, the introductory folklore
class has only been offered at ECU about
five years.
Two professors. Dr. Paul Dowell and
Mrs. Janice Faulkner, are currently
teaching the course.
Right now, only the introductory course
of folklore, English 272, is being offered.
"When 1 first came here I had intended
to teach only a couple of classes of the
introductory course and spend the rest ot
my time teaching a more advanced
course said Dowell.
"But there have been so many people
wanting to take the introductory course
that we haven't had time to get another
course started
Both Dowell and Faulkner say they
have always had some interest in folklore,
but neither became really serious about it
� until they started studying and collecting
it.
Coming from "hill country in Northern
Georgia" as Dowell called it, he has a rich
background in country lore.
Faulkner also has a rural origin with her
family ties lying in Martin Con try. She
explains her interest orignated when she
sang old songs as a child.
"I came from a rather large family and
everyone played an instrument. We always
sang together she said.
I Ins is not to imply that one should
come from the country to have a good
background in folklore or to hear folklore.
Much folklore is set within the city and is
handed down for generations by city-dwel-
lers.
So the next time you hear a story about
that haunted house down the street or you
hear someone exclaim. It's raining cats
and dogs don't just laugh because it's a
funnj line, flunk about it its ail part of
folklore.
Speech-hearing symposium at ECU
educates students and professionals
B ALICE SIMMONS
Staff Writer
March 12. IS76 was the date of North
Carolina's only student sponsored Speech
and Hearing symposium. The EC U chapter
of the National Student Speech and
Hearing Association held its sixth annual
Speech and Hearing Symposium in the
Carol C. Belk Allied Health building.
Dr. Eugene Cooper, chairman of the
Department of Communication Disorders
at the University of Alabama, spoke of
personalizing fluency control (stuttering)
therapy and the interpersonal relationship
between the child, the adult, and the
therapist.
Later, Dr. James McLane, chairman of
the George Peabody College Department
of Special Education, discussed the
development of language and assorted
therapeutic techniques for various popula-
tions and environments. Afterwards, stu-
dents and symposium guests were invited
by the speakers to participate in informal
sessions with them.

Graduate and undeig-aduate students
making up the East Carolina chapter of the
N.SSHA carry out all necessary prepara-
tions lor each symposium. Professionals
from public schools, clinics, and hospitals
throughout North Carolina are invited each
year by personal letter. This most recent
symposium brought approximately 150
individuals together including one hundred
working personnel from Chapel Hill to the
coast.
Expenses for the symposium are taken
care of by student committees who raise-
funds through such activities as bake sales,
hotdog stands, and raffles. In addition,
committees pubhci.e the event through
radio, television, and newspaper media.
Invited speakers, while not paid directly,
receive expenses lor their stay in Green-
ville and are presented with gifts ol
appreciation by symposium sponsors.
According to Kebekah Hand, NSSHA
treasurer, development of the annual
symposium is a year round job and plans
are already underway tor next years

for years in his Drama 100 classes,
Professor Albert Pertalion has been trying
Id get Students to go to New York to sec
exciting theatre. Since we never went to
New York, the Playhouse is bringing New
York to Hast Carolina.
For the first time in the history of North
Carolina, and perhaps the U.S a federal
agency, a state agency, a university
agency, and a student government arc-
combining funds to bring a Broadway
a ting company to a university campus.
I HI ACTING COMPANY will open their
week's residency at the last Carolina
Playhouse with George Bernard Shaw's
Arms and the Man in McGinnis Aud-
itorium at S: 15 on Monday, April 12. The
residency in McGinnis will run from the
12th through the 15th.
THE AC IING COMPANY is not a road
company. It is THE COMPANY, under the
artistic direction ol John Houseman,
Oscar-winning actor and New York pro-
ducer. THE COMPANY has been roundly
acclaimed by the critics and their musical.
The Robber Bridegroom, is nominated tor
two Tony Awards. THE COMPANYwill
perform three major plays, Arms and the
Man, The Way of the World, and the salty
and southern new musical, The Robber
Bridegroom.
I he cost ol booking a successful New
York company in smaller cities is usually
prohibitive, but grants from the National
Endowment for the Arts, the North
Carolina Arts Council, the Fast Carolina
Foundation, and the Fast Carolina SGA
make it possible to present this great group
for reasonable ticket prices.

'Helter Skelter' attracts large audience

And thus begins the two-part C.B.S.

I lure is no doubt that CBS attracted
quite a few viewers both nights, despite
the lact that on Ihursdav nighl "Helter
Skelter" was pitted against Kurt Vonne-
gut's "Slaughterhouse Five" on NBC .
Murder-especially gory, hideous, and
seemingly unexplainable murder-has
always proved to be top-rate subject matter
with the public. Witness the popularity and
success of such works as iruman Capote's
In Cold Blood and the movie version of
" I he Boston Strangler

all about-mass murder. Sharon late,

considered to be somewhat too graphic for
"younger or more sensitive viewers"
involves surrealistic flashback of the Tate
murders during the testimony of Linda
Kasabian. Again, the viewer is not
subjected to an intense study of all the gory
details as the flashback is actually quite
brief.
The hideous subject matter of "Helter
Skelter" then, does not emerge visually.
Rather, through the dialogue of the movie,
the television audience is shocked with all
the grisly details. Particularly gruesome is
Susan ("Sexy 'Sadie") Atkins' late night
confessions to a fellow cellmate of her role
in the Sharon Tate murders. Said Susan of
Sharon Tate: "She was crying and
begging, 'Please don't kill me. Please
don't kill me. I don't want to die. I want to
live. 1 want to have my baby. I want to have
my baby Susan's reply to this: "Look,
bitch, 1 don't care about you. 1 don't care
about your baby. You had better be ready.
You're going to die, and I don't feel
anything about it Susan Atkins also says
at this time, "I wanted to cut out the baby
but there wasn't time
On and on the lurid comments go.
Before the Grand Jury, in interviews with
prosecuting attorney Vincent Bugliosi
(George DiCenao), during the trial - the
whole gory story emerges. Particularly
chilling is the calm, almost childlike
manner in which Susan Atkins relates her
guilt before the Grand Jury, apparently not
realizing the horror of what she has done.
As the true story of the Manson
murders comes out in the dialogue of the
movie, the dialogue, including the off-
screen narration of Vincent Bugliosi, is the
movie's strength. This strength is never
more apparent than when Charles Manson
(Steve Railsback) cries out near the end of
the movie, "You made your children what
they areThese childen that come at you
with knives, they are your children. You
taught them. I didn't teach them. I just
tried to help them stand up And so,
through the dialogue, the blame is ladled
out for all to taste.

College Placement study shows 16 percent decline
May grads face bleak U.S. job market
Those who have hit the resume route
have already found out the latest news on
the job market for college grads:
employment prospects are bleak. To be
more exact, this year's graduates face
possibly the worst job outlook ever.
The number of job offers for students
graduating in the spring is smaller than
last year's figure, according to a recent
study released by the College Placement
Council. "And just about everyone agreed
that 1974-75 was a tough year said the
council, an organization made up of career
planning directors at universities.
Job offers to students at 159 colleges
are lb percent lower this year than last
year for B.A. candidates, the report said.
For master's degree candidates the decline
is 25 percent; for doctoral candidates, 32
percent.
The biggest drop in job offers appears
to be for students graduating with degrees
in the humanities and social sciences.
Offers for B.A. candidates in those fields
decreased by 26 percent from last March.
The next largest drop23 percent-was
for engineering students. Then came the
sciences, with a 12 percent decrease, and
business fields with a 4 percent drop.
The drop in engineering and business
fields is puzzling, the council said, because
estimates from employers last November
indicated that job propspects were expec-
ted to be good in those fields.
Accounting, banking, insurance and
chemical and drug companies made about
the same number of offers as last year,

while offers rose from the automotive,

and tire and rubber firms.
Starting salaries at the B.A. level range
from an average high of $16,788 for
engineering students to $8,580 for humani-
ties majors, the council said.
One bright spot in the council's report
was that undergraduate women received
27 percent more job offers this year than in
March of 1975. Job offers to women were
also 36 percent higher at the master's
level.
Job offers to men declined 20 percent for
undergraduates and 13 percent for mas-
ter's candidates.
Nevertheless, the number of jobs
offered to women is still only 16 percent of
the total offered to B.A. candidates and 15
percent of the number offered to master's
degree candidates.
The bad job news for college seniors
this year is only the latest chapter in a
continuing bleak economic story. By the
end of this academic year about 1.3 million
people will receive bachelor's, master's
and doctor's degrees, according to Harvard
Economist Richard Freeman. This is nearly
double the number of degrees doled out
ten years ago.
Yet during the same time, says
Freeman, the number of professional,
technical and managerial jobs in the U.S.
has grown by barely more than a third

Proposed bill allows private mail carriers
(CPS) Question: When is a total
monopoly legal in a "free-enterprise"
system? Answer: When it is the United
States Postal Service.
Since 1792, the country's official post
office has been protected from
competition by the private express
statutes' which forbid any other person
or company from delivering letters. The
result, many claim, is that the post office
has become an inefficient but expensive
albatross around the American people's
neck. The impetus to change their
spendthrift ways has been missing
without the necessity of showing a profit
or undercutting competitors.
Sen. James L. Buckley (Con-NY)
recently introduced a bill in Congress
which would allow private carriers to try
for the United States Postal Service
market. The Buckley bill would remove
all restrictions on private carriers
including the prohibition against anyone
but the Postal Service using mail boxes
for deliveries.
The use of private carriers to avoid
paying the recent 30 per cent rate
increase for first class mail has already
begun even though Postal Service
attorneys say these businesses operate
in a legal twilight zone. In Providence,
R.I the electric company hand-delivers
bills to 60,000 of its customers. The
employees who deliver them are former
electric company workers who would
have been laid off.
Other people are beating the rising
cost of postage by paying as many bills
as possible in person and carrying their
own business mail to close offices. So
many people have boycotted the new
rates that .olume in January was down
4.6 per cent from the same period a year
earlier. And more and more packages, a
major source of income for Postal
Service, are finding their way into United
Parcel Service and other bulk carriers'
trucks.
The Postal Service's bulk mailing
operation has turned into a financial
catastrophe but the situation is past the
point of no return. The United States has
already spent more than $1 billion on the
21 new bulk mail centers around the
country. Former Postmaster General
Winton Blount's construction firm wound
up with $91 million in contracts to build
four of the bulk mail centers, according
to columnist Jack Anderson.
The idea of the centers was to fully
i mechanize the processing of second,
third and fourth class mail to take the
load off other post offices which could
then concentrate on first class mail.
What it has come to mean is that
packages must travel thousands of miles
out of their way just to be processed.
Since the bulk mail centers have been
in operation, millions of packages have
Pitt County sponsors rabies clinics
"In a continuing effort to keep Pitt
County free of rabies, the Pitt County
Community Health Department with the
cooperation of the local veterinarians are
once again sponsoring an annual series
of dog vaccination clinics beginning April
5 through April 16 Health Director,
Roger J. Barnaby, announced recently.
As a convenience to the citizens of Pitt
County Barnaby stated, "clinics will be
conducted in 20 different locations and
are scheduled during the early evening
hours which enables people to take
advantage of these public clinics "The
vaccine will be administered by licensed
doctors of Veterinary Medicine using the
atest advancement in vaccine develop-
ment he further stated.
"It is important that all dog owners
keep their dogs' immunizations up to
date Barnaby explained, "for although
Pitt County has not had any cases of
rabies for many years there is always the
threat of the disease being brought in
from other counties or other states
which have a rabies problem, especially
in their wildlife
Barnaby pointed out that N.C.
requires that all dogs be vaccinated at
four (4) months of age and to be
vaccinated again the following year.
When this level of immunity has been
obtained, mature dogs are only required
to be vaccinated at three (3) year
intervals. "It is very important that this
level of immunity is obtained the first
two (2) years of the dog's life Barnaby
said. He added, "vaccination tags must
be displayed at all times
According to Barnaby, the Pitt County
Board of Health, chaired by Dr. Charles
Fitzgerald, has heartily endorsed this
phase of the rabies control program as
an essential part of the department's
"community health prevention" approach.
"We are most grateful to the veterinarians
for joining us in this preventive
program Barnaby commented.
been lost or damaged by the elaborate
machines the Postal Service uses.
In one sorting process, packages are
dumped automatically into a huge trough
some 10 to 12 feet away. If a light
package is on the bottom, the contents
frequently break or the box splits open.
Many times the add'essed wrapping
comes off and then the post office tries
to find a clue to the package's
destination. Often they don't.
A second major financial problem of
the Postal Service is that their
employees' wages have risen 50 per cent
faster than the cost of living in the past
six years and the Postal Service is not
allowed to lay employees off simply
because they are being used less. After
the 1970 postal worker strike, the two big
postal worker unions demanded wages
more in line with private industry than
with civil service positions. So mail
workers in positions which were
considered GS 5 level in 1970 are now
making $12,$49 a year compared to their
civil service counterparts who are making
only $9,819 annually.
To afford to pay their workers,
including their brass who make more
than most top figures in Washington
including senators and congresspeople,
the Postal Service has increasingly
depended on subsidies from Congress.
Sen. Buckley says if the Postal Service is
struck with all the expensive routes that
none of the private carriers would find
profitable enough, then the government
would give-direct subsidies to those areas.
Repeal of the Postal Service
monopoly laws would "let the forces of
competition provide this country with the
kind of efficient mail service it needs and
deserves Buckley claimed.

Student bankruptcy crackdown is possible
If things really get bad for former
students who can't afford to repay their
educational debts, they can declare
bankruptcy. Bankruptcy means no more
debtors breathing down their necks, clean
slates and zero credit. As the job market
continues to slump, more students are
taking advantage of the bankruptcy laws to
relieve themselves of debts they are unable
to repay.
So, apparently, have many other people
who have accumulated debts. But the
administration and the Commission on
Bankruptcy Laws have recently urged
Congress to crack down specifically on
student bankruptcy. In response, Congress
has come up with two bills which prohibit
students from discharging educational
loans by declaring bankruptcy for five
years after their first loan payments are
due.
Statistics of the Office of Education do
show that the bankruptcy rate of former
students is increasing rapidly, from 1,342
in fiscal year 1972 to 2,194 in Fiscal year
1974. But as student lobbyists point out,
times are tough for all debtors and the rate
of bankruptcy for the general population
has increased, too. Furthermore, college
graduates are no longer assured of
professional jobs or any jobs at all after
they've paid dearly for their diplomas. The
picture, student advocates say, is not one
of wile and guile on the part of former
students taking the easy way out, but one
of poor job opportunities in a depressed
economy.
Proponents of the bill envision just such
"clever" students getting loans, getting
out of school, declaring bankruptcy when
they have no assets anyway and then
finding jobs. An aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell
(D-RI) who has introduced one of the bills
limiting bankruptcies by former students
admitted that this "may not be a
widespread occurrence" but "it has
happened a number of times. Bankruptcy
is potentially a very expensive thing the
aide agreed.
Defenders of the bankruptcy limitations
for former students can point to a number
of specific cases in which former students
tried to cheat their way out of educational
debts. The cases include the Arkansas
lawyer who owed the government $18,000
in student loans and declared bankruptcy
even though he earned $11,000 annually.
The lawyer was later indicted for fraud.
Such cases, student lobbyists contend,
are the exception rather than the rule.
There will always be a few bad debtors
attempting to sidestep loan payments. But
nowhere is there substantial evidence of
students being any more guilty of
occasional bouts of cheating than any other
class of debtors. There are many "honor
stories a National Student Association
lobbyist ajrgued. but no exact statistics.

Some observers believe that the
bankruptcy bills single out students as a
class of debtors different from every other
kind of debtor. "There is no evidence that
students are any worse debtors than
anyone else a congressional aide claim-
ed.
The House bill, now in hearings before
the Postsecondary Education Subcommit-
tee, does include a clause which would
allow former students to plead "undue
hardship" and be discarged from their
debts. But the hardship provision is vague,
lobbyists claim, and the decision on
whether a student was in real hardship
would be left to the discretion of the
bankruptcy judge or referee.
the Pell bill in the Senate contains no
hardship provision but would, if passed,
allow students to defer loan payments for
any one of the five years after the loan
payments were due. This moratorium
would only be permitted for students who
were unemployed for the year. The
concession was made in recognition of the
"rotten job market the Pell aide
explained.
But there are no assurances that the job
market is going to improve in the next
decade and college graduates have been
warned not to expect professional positions
in their fields for awhile. In the meantime,
students will be denied their opportunity
for a fresh start.

3-2 win takes 15 innings
Pirates take doubleheader wins from Apps
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
It took six and a half hours to do it, but
the ECU baseball team took a double-
header sweep from Appalachian State
Saturday in what was one of the most
bizarre doubleheaders ever played at
Harrington Field.
In the opener the Pirates played the
longest game in modern ECU baseball
history when they downed Appalachian,
3-2, in 15 innings. Then in the nightcap the
Piratesjumped to a big lead early, survived
a 40 minute delay after the third inning,
and coasted to an ll-I win.
The pair of victories helped the Pirates
a great deal. The ECU record in the
conference is now 3-3 and the team's
overall record is now 14-3. The sweep also
ran ECU'S winning streak to eight games,
one game shy ol the record.
In the opener, the Pirates got a rare call
from the umpire and waited out the
Mountaineers for a 3-2 win.
s a good crowd of close to 1,000 looked
on. several of which watched from atop a
bus outside the field near third base, the
Pirates got good pitching from Dean Reavis
and Bob Feeney to work tor the three-hour
and twenty minute win.
The Pirates did score first in the fourth
when Charlie Stevens walked. He went to
third when he stole second and moved up
on a throwing error by the ASU catcher.
Sonny Wooten then drove in Stevens with a
single up the middle.
ASU matched the Pirate run in the top
of the seventh.
Reavis had been doing well until the
seventh, when the Mountaineers finally
got to him. After getting the first man out,
Reavis walked his first batter of the game
and a chopper over his head put another
man on base, as the first runner went to
third following a steal.
The next batter hit to shortstop Ken
Gentry and Gentry threw to catcher
Howard McCullough to get the runner on
third. Randy McDaniel, in a rundown.
McCullough ran McDaniel back to third
before throwing to Geoff Beaston who put
the tag on McDaniel as Malcolm McLean
slid in to third safely from the other side of
the bag.
Chris Plcmmons came through with a
shot that was called just inside third which
scored McLean with the tying run. The call
stood, though, and the inning ended when
the next batter grounded a ball oil
Plcmmons tor an out.
Following that, the two sides settled
down until the eleventh when each side
scored on close calls to continue the tie at
22.
In the ninth, though, ASU threatened
against Reavis before Feeney came on with
two on and one out to retire the side.
I he eleventh lound ASU scoring when
Plemmons gained another controversial
double just inside the line, scoring
McDaniel with the go ahead run. With but
OIK out. Feeney retired the last two
batters, feeney did not allow another hit
over the final lour innings and at one point
retired II straight batters.
Meanwhile, a rare call kept ECU in the
game in the bottom ol the inning. Joe
Roenker led off with a walk and moved to
third on a sacrifice by Wooten and a wild
pitch by ASU pitcher Dave Rudisill.
With two out and a 3-0 count on Pete
Paradossi, Rudisill was called for a balk by
the plate npire when he committed a
double pump before his delivery. The balk
allowed Roenker to score with the saving
run.
The final dramatics came in the
fifteenth after Feeney had mastered the
Apps over the final four innings.
Steve Bryant led off the fifteenth by
walking. Two outs moved Bryant to second
and set the stage for Glenn Card.
Earlier in the year Card had followed
through in extra innings for a winning hit
against Maryland and he repeated the feat
here, as he stroked a single up the middle
and watched Bryant score with the winning
run in the opener.
Card, who is off to a bad start this year
and batting .204. said after the game:
"I his was especially gratifying to me
because I got to do something for the team
and for my parents, who don't get to see
me play too often
Card's parents came down from Red
Oak. Va. to see him play.
Card also made a comment about the
boisterous and supporting crowd of
students along the third-base line, the ones
who set up shop after being refused
admittance to the game.
"We want to thank the guys who pulled
the bus up behind the third base fence to
root for us since they couldn't get in with
their beerthat was great support and we
appreciated it
Card said the greatest feeling came
when Bryant crossed the plate with the
winning run.
"1 enjoyed standing on first and
watching the play at the plate, because 1
didn't think they could beat Steve's
speed
The throw couldn't.
In the second game, as so often
happens after a tight first game, the
Pirates had little opposition from the Apps
in rolling up an II-I win.
The Pirates' biggest problem came
when the darkness caused a 40-minute
delay in the game when the lights could not
be turned on. After the wait the lights were
finally serviced and turned on, which
allowed the Pirates, who were up 11-1 at
the time, to gain the second victory.
lo build up that 11-1 lead, the Pirates
batted around in two of the first three
innings to put together a six run first and
live-run third inning.
The Apps' run in the first came on an
infield hit by Plemmons, a stolen base, a
ground out and a run-scoring first to third
double play, which also ended the inning.
But if there was any doubt as to the
tempo of the second game, the Pirates soon
cleared matters up with six runs in their
half of the inning.
Beaston and Bryant opened with
singles and scored on a triple by Stevens,
who blasted the ball over the center-
fielder's head to the wall. Stevens then
scored on a wild pitch. Roenker walked and
scored on a grounder by Robert Brinkley.
Wooten singled and scored on 1 sacrifice
fly by Riek Koryda. ard walked and
scored three batters later on a single by
Howard McCullough. Beaston, up for the
second time in the inning, forced courtesy
runner Bobby Supel at second to close the
inning.
If the first wasn't enough to nail the
Mountaineers' coffin, the ECU bunch
pushed across five more runs off reliever
David Farmer in the third.
Farmer, who relieved starter Terry
Wincel in the first, allowed hits to Wooten
and Brinkley and walked Card and Koryda
before being relieved in lieu of Mike Ellis.
With the bases loaded and one run
already in, Ellis did not do much for the
Apps.
McCullough singled to score Card and
the bases remained loaded. Beaston then
grounded to third and when the ball rolled
through the third-baseman's legs, both
Brinkley and Koryda scored to make it
10-1. Stevens' single scored courtesv
runner Supel with the final run.
The Pirates loaded the bases, but with
the skies becoming dark and the lights not
operating, Roenker struck out and Card
popped to third to close the inning.
At this point, the game was delayed
and the 40-minute wait followed before the
lights became operable and the game
continued.
When play resumed, Durham seemed
to lose some effectiveness but still
managed to hold the Apps from scoring
despite four hits and three walks over the
final four innings. In the sixth, ASU loaded
the bases but Durham pitched out of the
jam by getting the final batter to hit back to
the mound.
Durham, however, did say the wait had
some effect on his performance.
"The light delay did hurt me some
said the ECU junior. "1 got stiff and felt
tired later in the game

Reavis
March
Athlete
ofthe
Month

ECU baseball player Dean Reavis has been selected as FOUNTAINHEAD's Athlete of
the Month for March.
During the month of March, Reavis led the ECU staff in ERA, wins, appearances,
strikeouts, innings pitched and complete games. His 0.51 earned run average ranked as
the best in the Southern Conference.
In addition to his excellent ERA, Reavis attained a 3-1 record, including a 3-0 opening
day win over Maryland in which he pitched 12 innings and a 3-0 shutout over Davidson.
I he shutouts are the only ones recorded by the ECU pitching staff so far this season.
I he senior Business Administration-Real Estate major is the workhorse ofthe staff,
having pitched 3S innings in five games in March (on Saturday he pitched eight innings
against Appalachian State) and going the distance in all four of his starts for the month. In
his fifth appearance, Reavis picked up a save in a 5-3 win over Campbell College.
But Reavis' fine pitching is not new to the Pirates. During the last year's regular
season he was 6 2 with a 1.82 ERA and in the North Carolina Summer League this past
summer he was 6-2 with a 1.58 ERA.
Reavis is not an overpowering pitcher, but he gets the batters out using his control, as
his 20 strike outs and just seven walks in 35 innings will show.
iill coach George Williams has said of Reavis that "he is the guy 1 will go to in the
big games this year. I would pitch him everyday if I could
Williams can't pitch him everyday, of course but Reavis nonetheless leads the way for
a mound corps that had a 1.70 ERA for the month of March. And he surely is expected to

Boding makes 88- yard run
Purple downs Gold, 21-14, in spring game
There was an exerting 38 yard punt
return by Jim Holding, some good running
by Ray Jones, some good passing by Mike
Weaver and a few good defensive plays.
Other than that, though, the Purple-Gold
spi ing football game was relatively un-
spectacular and dull.
Spring games are not usually supposed
to be real exciting, what with the same
team playing itself and Saturday night's
game was no exception. Nevertheless,
there were some bright spots tor the
Pirates in the game, which was won by the
Purple squad, 21 -14.
lust, and perhaps the most spectacular
play of the evening, was the 88 yard punt
return by all-American Bolding for the
game's first score with 8:44 left in the first
halt.
Second was the running by fullback Kay
Jones. Jones carried tor 48 yards on 24
carries and scored two Purple touchdowns.
Jones' plav was pleasing since the fullback
slot had been one slot coach Pat Dye had
been worried about at the start of the
spring drills.
Mike Weaver's leadership also was a
strong suit. 1 he rising ECU senior ran the
Purple team's wishbone attack well, if
unspectacular!) . to three scores and
passed tor 42 yards to assert himself as the
number one quarterback tor the fall.
On defense, the Gold team came up
with a fumble recovery by bid Nelson for a
touchdown, Boldings punt return for its
other score and some good individual
performances by Larry Paul at linebacker,
Oliver Helton at nose guard, and Zack
Valentine at defensive end. Harold Ran-
dolph and Mike Painter did good jobs for
the Purple defense.
In the end the outcome of the game
resulted in the Purple offense outplaying
the Gold defense. Dye pointed out the
differences in the game.
The Purple offense beat the Gold
defense tonight said Dye, who observed
the game from the press box. "Mike
Weaver was the difference in the game and
I couldn't help but notice the running of
Raymond Jones. Weaver threw well and
Mike Umphlett did a good job punting and
made some nice catches
Although Umphlett averaged only 35
yards for his five punts, he put two punts
inside the five to back the Gold team up to
its wall. Walk-on Rod Allen did a good job
punting for the Gold squad, also putting
several punts down deep in the goal line-
area.
Dye said, however, that it was hard to
make an overall evaluation of team
strengths, individually and as a team,
because of injuries, the split up of squads,
and the shortness of the quarters (12
minutes instead ot 15 minutes).

take hand off from Mike Weaver 9 and go
over for a touchdown in Purple-Gold game
Saturday. Photo by Kip Sloan.
"It would be hard to comment on
individuals just seeing one or two good
plays said Dye. "I must see the films to
really grade the overall play.
"The teams threw the ball so much (a
total ot 19 passes) that it seemed that the
backs really did not get a chance to show
that much, other than the fullbacks. In our
offense, if you don't run for 300 yards, you
don't run the offense very well
For the game, the Purple squad gained
225 ards total offense, 183 yards on the
group and the Gold squad was limited to
142 yards total offense, 98 yards running
and 94 yards passing the ball. Jimmy
Southerland threw for all of the Gold
team's passing yardage, completing five of
eight passes. Three of those passes went to
end ferry Gallaher, one covered 55 yards.
The 55 yard pass led to the only real
offensive drive the Gold mounted. I hat
drive ended at the Purple 15 yard line,
when Reggie Pinkrtey dumped Southerland
lor a seven yard loss. It was the last Gold
drive of the game.
Lor their scores, the Purple team drove
43 yads behind Weaver tor a six yard
score, 53 yards tor a two yard score by
Jones and bl yards for a one yard run bj
Jones.
Dye was pleased with the intensity of
play in the game, but said that the two
teams, coached by TV celebrities Dick
Jones (the winner) and Lee Moore (the
loser), tried several plays he had not
worked on during practice or did not plan
to u-e in the fall
"I thought we had some good hitting in
the game said Dye. "I'll have to wait to
see the films to see who did it, though. We
did so many things tonight we did not do in
the spring and we played with so many
people hurt. We also played with people at
key positions that probably will not be
there this fall. All this makes it really hard
to evaluate the performance
Dye did have some closing comments
as to what the LC L team will need to do in
order to be successful when the season
starts this fall.
It we continue to have the enthusiasm
and desire we have now and we can get
everyone together, I feel we are going to
have a good football team.
"We mav have a better team but not as
good a record, because our schedule will be
tougher. I he openers with Southern Miss
and North C arolirta State back to back will
be real tough. Southern Miss played all its
games on the road last year and finished
7-4. Lhev have nearly all their players
coming back
I he Purple-Gold game prettv much
draws the spring practice sessions to a
close for the Pirates. It will now be a matter
ot only five months before the whole
routine starts up again. Only in August n
will be for real.
Saturdav s spring game showed some-
good signs despite the dullness it showed
at times. Hopefully for the East Carolina
team, the dullness will fade and the
excitement will take over before the
September I 1 opener in Ficklen Stadium
against Southern Mississippi.
MIKE WEAVER did not perform well the entire spring game. Here he wonders what
happened after being thrown for loss in Saturday's game. On the whole, though, Weaver
performed pretty well.
Acker improving his college game with top finish
By SAM ROGERS
Staff Writer
It's taken Lrank Acker a couple of
tournaments to adjust to the highly
competitive collegiate golf scene, but with
a top finish in last week's Furman
Intercollegiate Tournament, the Fayette-
ville, N.C native has restored confidence
in his game.
Acker, who came from relative ob-
scurity last year to win the North Carolina
High School Championship, was tabbed as
one of the top players in the state at Terry
Sanford High School. He lettered for three
years at Jerry Sanford, playing in the
number two and three position.
Acker got off to a slow start in the
Pirates' first tournament of the year, the
Pincliurst Invitational. He failed to break
80 during the entire tournament and
played poorly during the first two rounds of
the C amp lejeune Invitational event.
'I was really disgusted with the way I
was playing in those two tournament v"
m
m
said Acker. "I really wasn't that nervous,
but 1 was hitting the ball so badly. I just
hadn't had enough practice time and
consequently my game was suffering
Acker came back to fire a 74 in the last
round of the Camp Lejeune tournament to
propel the Pirates into a tie for second
place in the team standings and followed
that up with a top finish in last week's
Furman Intercollegiate tournament. He
put together rounds of 72-76-77-225 to
finish among the top 15 individuals.
"The 74 in the final round at Camp
Lejeune gave me the confidence I needed
going into the Furman tournament
explained Acker. "I hit the ball real well at
Furman and I was just pleased to play well
on such a tough course. But I was
disappointed that the team played so
poorly during the final round. We should
have been right up there in the top ten and
we blew it
The Pirates were in 13th place at the
end of the first round but then fired the low

round of the second day to move into fifth
before dropping to Ibth place in the final
round.
"I hit the ball well and had a real solid
round the first day said Acker. "1 think 1
may have felt some pressure during the
final two rounds, but 1 think I played a lot
better than my scored showed. Our team
will now have some time off to get ready for

Pirate harriers finish eighth in S. C. Relays
!
By STEVE WHEELER
Staff Writer
1 ast Carolina's track team travelled to
Columbia, S.C. Saturday to compete in the
ten team South Carolina State-Record
Relays and came home with eighth place
for the event.
Auburn, led by a world record tying 9.9
in the 100 meters dash by freshman Harvey
Glance, won the meet with 128 points.
South Carolina followed with 83.2, while
N.C. State finished third with bS. Clemson
captured fourth with 61.b, while North
Carolina took fifth with 61. Georgia lech
followed with 47 while Cornell garnered 37
to take seventh. The Pirates followed in
eighth position with 27 while Furman's 22
and Georgia's 14.2 rounded out the field.
Glance was named the outstanding
performer on the meet as he was the only
triple winner. Other than the record
performance in the 100, Glance also took
the 200 meters with a wind-aided time of
20.3 and captured the long jump with a
leap of 24-5 34.
East Carolina, plagued by injuries all
season, took only about 15 performers to
the meet but got some good performances
out of th se. Calvin Alston and Sam
Phillips led the East Carolina contingent at
the meet with their best performances of
the year.
Alston ran real well in placing in both of
the sprints. The diminutive frosh finished
sixth in the 100 meters with a time of 10.6,
a time he did not agree with at all.
Alston said, "(Haywood) Ray, the guy
from Georgia Tech, and 1 crossed the
finish line at nearly the same time. They
were credited with 10.3's while I was stuck
with 10.6. 1 know I had a 10.3. 1 guess I'm
going to have to run it again for the
record
Alston also had a very fine performance
in the 200 meters as he took third position
with a wind-aided time of 21.0, which after
being computed to yrds yields a time of
21.1. a new varsity mark in the ECU record
book.
Phillips has seen little action in the past
two months, but burst back onto the scene
in the 110-meter high hurdles with a
second place time of 14.0. Marvin Rankins,
coming off an ear infection, could place
only fourth with a time of 14.3.
George Jackson had his best jump of
the outdoor season in the long jump and
placed fifth with a time of 23 6 14
Lafan Forbes was the only other
individual Pirate to place in an event. The
sophomore from Stantonsburg. N.C. re-
gistered only three tosses in the javelin
throw before injuring his back and placed
fifth with a throw of 2002
The ECU mile relay team of Ben
Duckenfield, Charley Moss, James Free-
man and Robert Franklin finished fourth in
a time of 3:17.2.
The Pirates will travel to Chapel Hill
next Saturday for the Carolina Relays and
will carry a limited team due to injuries.

Netters win one, lose two
By KURT HICKMAN
Staff Writer
East Carolina's tennis team lost two out
of their last three matches as they went
down to defeat here at the hands of N.C.
State on Thursday, 8-1, shutout Pembroke
St 9-0, Saturday, and lost to conference
foe Appalachian St 7-2, on Sunday.
ECU's doubles team of Joe Zahran and
Tim Hill avoided a shutout by the Wolfpack
as they were the only Pirate victors. Zahran
and Hill beat State's Allen Spizo and Don
Belsma, 2-6, 6-3. 6-3.
ECU coach Neal Peterson was some-
what disappointed with the play of his
squad against State. "Our guys did not
play as well against them as I felt they
would said Peterson. "State is very good
and they have really upgraded their
program. I was happy to see Zahran and
Hill get their win. This team is too good to
be shutout by anyone
The Pirates had a repeat performance
against Pembroke St. as they shutout the
Braves for the second time this season.
For the majority of the matches against
Pembroke St Peterson went with players
who have seen little action so far this year.
lorn Dtllfec continued to improve as
he disposed of Robert Stewart, 6-2, 6-4.
"Tom's play as ot late has given our
team a lift said Peterson.
The Bucs' Jim tatliff took only 45
minutes to beat Gary Carter, 6-1, 6-0.
Zahran was a winner over Joel Propst, 6-4,
6-2.
ECU's Gerry Felton, Hill, and John
Freeman were the remaining Pirates in the
singles competition and all three had little
trouble in winning their matches.
Felton defeated Ric Parrish, 6-2, 6-1,
Hill took Keith Gibson, 6-1, 6-1, and
Freeman downed Lu Hoany. 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
F( U was equally impressive in the
doubles competition. Durfee and Randy
Baiic) K their first win of the year as a
doubles team. Carter and Stewart, 6-0, 6-0.
Zahran and Hill continued to show signs of
being a solid doubles combination and beat
Propst and Parrish, 6-0, 6-0. Felton and
Freeman closed out the match with a 6-2.
6-2 victory over Gibson and Hoang.
"We've played our top two players in
Durfee and Ratliff as we expected tough
matches against them said Peterson. "I
put in our bottom four players for this
match because they have worked extre-
mely hard this year and definitely deserved
to play
"Our depth showed again today as
everyone contributed said Peterson.
Mitch Pergerson missed the matches
against State and Pembroke with an ankle
injury.
The Pirates took on their third
conference foe of the year as they were
beaten by a good Appalachian St. team.
Durfee was the only Buc able to win in
the singles. It was an impressive victory as
he defeated the Mountaineers' Adnan
Khan, 6-2. 6-2. Khan is the preseason
Southern Conference favorite in the singles
competition.
Durfee was not finished as he and
Bailey were victorious in the doubles
against Khan and Randy Redfield, 3-6, 6-3,
7-6.
"As far as we are concerned, today was
lorn Durfee s day Peterson said. "He-
played extremely well and deserves a lot of
credit because Khan is a top notch tennis
player. ASU just had too much ovcall

Otis Melvin, also of Fayetteville, is
expected to give the Pirates even more
depth in the sprints. The62 150 pounder
has run a 9.6 100 and 21.5 220. Carson
commented on the two.
"These two will give us a strong
contingent of sprinters and we will be very
deep. Tillery has run a faster 440 than
anyone we have on our team this season.
Melvin will add depth to our sprints

ASU champs down ECU ,3-1

Special to the Fountainhead
Appalachian State and East Carolina
State intramurals met for the first time in
history this week in the First Annual
East-West North Carolina Basketball and
Volleyball Championship. The champion-
ship took place in ASU's Varsity Gym, and
with the large crowd attendance in their
favor, the home teams emerged victorious
in all but one game of the tournament.
The championship was held as a
match-up between the top intramural
teams from each University. Dr. Wayne
Edwards, ECU's Intramural Director and
formerly the director at ASU, originated
the idea for the tournament as an
opportunity to bring the students from both
places together and to provide ECU
students with a chance ,o visit the
mountains.
Representing Fast Carolina were Alpha
Xi Delta Sorority and Pi Kappa Phi
Fraternity, women's and men's 1976
volleyball champs, and Granny's Greats
and Herb's Superbs for women's and
men's basketball, respectively.
Granny's Greats won their game
against ASU's champions, the Doughtou
Devils, 50-46, in a close match that left
ASU a player short in the last minute
because three of their players fouled out.
The Greats captured the lead during
the second half after trailing most of the
game, when Ann Lowdermilk came alive
and scored 20 points. Center Liz White also
lent fine offensive efforts to the Greats,
with 18 points in her favor.
ASU won the other three games,
smashing ECU in women's volleyball 15-4
and 15-3 in the two-game match. ASU's
men's champions defeated ECU's 15-8 and
15-3.
In men's basketball. East Carolina's
Herb's Superbs played short of their top
player and one of their starters, and they
lost to ASU's winning Orange Blossom
Special 90-87.
I his time it was East Carolina who left
the game short of players, with all bu'
three of them fouling out during the last
minute.
I he lead bounced between the two
teams during the second half until John
Barker ot ASU was fouled by Gary Rabon
ol the Superbs with less than a minute to
go; Barker, the Special's leading scorer
with 44 points, made the shots and gave
the home team its winning advantage.
The leading scorer for the Superbs was
Bob Ringer with 32 points, followed by
Albert Holloman with 19 points.
The ASU's Special represented ASU by
winning a separate tournament between
ASU's division winners, because Appala-
chian's All-Campus playoffs are not until
later this week. The team is also the
defending ASU All-Campus champion
from last year.

Hitting, Pitching
Result In Winning Baseball Combination
East Carolina's baseball team finally came through against Southern Conference
opposition Saturday with the doubleheader sweep over the Mountaineers.
The Pirate keystoners have really put together an outstanding season so far this
season by winning 14 of the 17 games through last weekend's twinbill. How the Pirates
have done this is with a steady combination of good hitting and good pitching.
In the games where the Pirates have not been able to hit the ball, similar to Saturday's
first game, the Pirate mound corps have come through with some very good pitching to
hold the load. As a matter of fact, the Pirate pitching has really faltered in only three of
the 17 games thus far, and these resulted in two of the ECU defeats.
Against Furman the ECU pitching staff was rocked and that resulted in the first two
losses of the year for the Pirates, by 4-3 and 12-6 scores. The only other game in which the
Pirate pitchers allowed more than three runs in a game was against Duke in an 11-7 ECU
win, and the hitting came through in that contest.
With an earned run average of 1.70 the ECU pitching staff has to be one of the finest
in the nation and certainly in the southeast. The dean of the staff. Dean Reavis, has an
0.58 ERA in his six appearances and 43 innings of work and two other ECU hurlers, Keith
Kurdewan and footballer Pete Conaty, stand below 2.00 on the season.
The Pirates are hitting well as a team, too. Although they could muster only six hits in
49 official at bats in the opener Saturday, the Pirates came through with 12 hits in the
nightcap and arc hitting about .270 as a team for the season. Any baseball buff will tell
you that is a pretty good team batting average.
Leading the hitting barrage are Pete Paradossi, Steve Bryant, Joe Roenker, Geoff
Beaston and Robert Brinkley. All are batting over .300 and Paradossi was well above the
.400 mark going into Saturday's twinbill.
It seems, then, that the Pirates are not hurt all that bad by the loss of record-setter
Ron Staggs. Originally, the Pirates thought the loss of Staggs' power might seriously
hinder the team's strength at the plate, but newcomers Charlie Stevens, Sonny Wooten
and Rick Koryda have performed well at times to give the Pirates some added strength at
the plate besides the batters already mentioned.
Roenker has provided ECU with some good power, but another good sign is the clutch
hitting that some of the weaker hitting ECU batters have followed through with this year.
Glenn Card is a good example. The senior centerfielder, who has also doubled as
catcher, is batting only 193 this year, but has come through with game winning hits
against Maryland and Appalachian State that helped the team, as well as his catching
duty when regular Howard McCullough was benched for three games with an injury.
So ECU coach George Williams seems to be using the old baseball philosophy of a
strong team down the line, with good pitching, complementing good, clutch hitting.
Cain explains beer policy
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
According to ECU Athletic Director Bill
( ain the recent decision not to allow beer
into the home baseball games is a result of
the administration trying to comply to the
North Carolina State law which forbids the
"public display of any intoxicating bev-
erage at any athletic event" and not to
increase concession sales as was origi-
nally believed.
North Carolina statute 18-51 provides:
"it shall be unlawful for any persons to be
or become intoxicated or to make any
public display of any intoxicating beverage
at any athletic event or other public place
in North Carolina
It is this statute that Cain is trying to
enforce with the recent crackdown on beer
at Harrington Field.
"It is a state law and we are just trying
to enforce it. The problem has come about
with the continued increase of student
interest in our baseball program. With this
interest we will have to better enforce the
laws in order to protect both students and
adults at the games
A recent ruling in North Carolina
concerning beer consumption and sale on
campus made it lawful to consume
alcoholic beverages "only on campus in
special places at special times with
permission to have it there
Cain said that the law was not hard to
enforce when the crowds at the game were
small, but with the larger crowds of late the
enforcement of the law is more important.
Cain denied that the decision had anything
to do with increasing concession sales.
"It has to deal with the law and not with
trying to sell more concessions at the
game. I'd like to be able to sell beer at the
games, but we can't. 1 appreciate the
support the students have showed for our
fine baseball team so far this year and I
hope that they will continue to come even
though they can not bring beer into the
games
The Pirates may not go on winning forever, but they have started off well this season
and have a good shot at breaking the record for wins in a year, which is 23. If the Pirates
continue to play the way they have so far, they should have a good shot at doing it.
Regardless of the final won-lost season of the team, this year's squad has brought
more interest to the game at ECU than any squad 1 can remember in my four years at this
school. The crowds have been good and so they should have been, for good baseball
draws - regardless of what level one plays on.
A QUESTION CONCERNING POLICY AND MOTIVE
To many it may seem a trivial and unimportant matter, but in regards to the amount of
comment made to me since Saturday's doubleheader 1 feel some mention and comment
concerning the administration's decision to not allow beer into the games needs to be
made.
First of all. since the beginning of the season beer has been allowed to be brought into
the ECU home baseball games and many ECU students have come out to support the
team with coolers, six packs or brown bags in hand. The nice weather, good baseball and
opportunity to enjoy a sunny afternoon watching baseball and drinking beer ha been
largely the result for the good, as well as boisterous, crowds at most of the games this
year.
But now Athletic Director Bill Cain suddenly decides that beer will not be allowed at
the games because the concessions at the games have not been doing well.
What instead Cain may be doing is turning the students away from the games by not
allowing them to bring their beer with them. Regardless of the sense of this, the fact
remain that there were less students within the stadium Saturday than in Drevious games.
In addition, many of the students who came with beer in hand decided, when told no go,
they would not come in.
Some did sit atop a bus on the third-base side outside the stadium to watch the game,
but that shouldn't be necessary. I'm sure someone will catch hell for allowing the bus to
be used for such purposes, but instead he should be thankedand certainly many of the
players were appreciative.
Though it seems like a minor administrative move to many, especially some of the
teetotalers who may be in the crowd, we feel Mr. Cain is making a grave mistake in
deciding suddenly not to let beer in the game. Besides. Mr. Cain himself has said time
and again how much the athletic program owes to students for their support with student
fees. Then he turns around and makes such a decision as the one he has concerning the
beer it hardly seems that he has any concern for the students in this case.
We haven't heard any complaints from the fans who come from the city or
administration concerning the students drinking beer, including when they have been
rowdy and getting on the opposing team, so we don't feel that is a valid excuse.
The only resolution to the situation we feel is to revoke the latest restriction and once
again allow students to bring their beer into the games. The students deserve some
consideration for the support they give the team and certainly we think it would be the
more popular decision overall.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING TODAY
The ECU Board of Trustees met earlier this afternoon in Mendenhall to discuss many
topics dealing with the athletic program and what directions it will take. Unfortunately,
press deadlines prevent us from giving you these decisions in today's press, but on
Thursday there will be a report concerning any moves the school may make.
ECU to play in Oyster Bowl
The East Carolina University football
team will make its first appearance ever
in the Oyster Bowl in Norfolk, Va on
November 12, 1977. Contracts have been
drawn for the Pirates to play the Indians
of Wiliiam & Mary in this annual benefit
game.
"I feel this is a big honor for East
Carolina to be selected to be a
participant in the Oyster Bowl when you
consider the prestige of the event and the
benefits derived for crippled children
said athletic director Bill Cain "This is a
game we have wanted to get in for a long
time. We have great alumni following in
the Tidewater area and this game will be
good for them and for us. We should
have a great following in this game
The Oyster Bowl is sponsored by the
Shriner's Khredive Temple in Norfolk. For
over 30 years in Shriners have staged this
game as a benefit for the crippled
children's home in Greenville, S.C.
"This is really a big game continued
Cain. "This is equivalent to the Shriner's
game held each year in Charlotte for high
schoolers, except this is much bigger
and on the college level. The history of
schools to participate in this game is
certainly of top caliber
The Oyster Bowl W�H kick off at 1:30
pm, with East Carolina being the home
team. This was decided in a coin toss.
