Pub Board discusses
independence in forum
Members of the Publications Board, in an open forum Tuesday evening, suggested
that it be funded separately from the Student Government Association (SGA).
School officials and student politicians expressed reservations about such plans.
The forum in Mendenhall Student Center was attended by about 15 persons.
Those attending included Dean Rudolph S. Alexander, Dean James H. Tucker, Tim
Sullivan, SGA president, Monika L. Sutherland, Buccaneer editor, Robert M. Glover,
Rebel editor, Kenneth C. Campbell, Ebony Herald editor, and Ira L. Baker, associate
professor of journalism.
There was no student input at the forum besides that from publications personnel.
Sullivan suggested a student referendum, after students become informed of the idea,
to determine student views on the possible separation of the Publications Board from the
SGA.
Dean Tucker suggested to form a unified Communications Board which would indude
WECU and Ebony Herald (not now part of the Publications Board). He made no oomment
on whether this board should remain part of the SGA.
Sutherland, forum moderator, said she would like to see this Communications Board
formed and would also like to see it be responsible for all aspects of campus media. She
said it would function smoother if it were a separate entite like the Student Union.

Sullivan speaks
on publications
By TOM TOZER
Managing Editor
FOUNTAINHEAD in particular needs
to continue in an activist role and provide
basic information, especially information
that is hidden according to Student
Government Association (SGA) President
Tim Sullivan.
"I don't want to cripple the
FOUNTAINHEAD in any way said newly
elected SGA President Sullivan. Sullivan
made these comments in an interview in
his office Wednesday.
According to Sullivan he would like to
see campus publications continue to
improve and added that he is " for progress
on any front
Sullivan commented on Publications
Board efforts to seek independence from
the SGA next year. According to Sullivan
he is opposed to Publication Board
independence because it is not in the best
interest of the students.
"Publications if separate would siphon
off a large amount of student fees and this
would neglect other important areas said
Sullivan.
"I think a lot of students pushing for
independence are forgetting the stu-
dents
age of student activity fees like the Union
does. Also all advertising revenue would
be funnelled back into the Communications
Board under Sutherland's recommend-
ation.
Sullivan said he wants the existing
Publications Board to be more objective
and to be an effective mediary between
campus publications and the SGA.
Sutherland said, student government
should not oontrol the press any more than
the U S. government controls the Ameri-
can press.
Under such a plan the Communications
Board would oonsist of all the editors, the
manager of WECU, three faculty advisors,
including one from the School of Business,
and four elected students.
Also, the SGA would appoint two
members, one by the President, and one by
the legislature, and the editors would
appoint a member. The only voting
members would be those appointed
students and the four elected students.
The campus media got about 41 percent
of the total SGA budget during the 1975
fiscal year. This was approximately
$190,838 out of about $400,000, said
Tommy Thomason, SGA treasurer.
The campus media includes the
Fountainhead, the Buccaneer, the Rebel,
the Ebony Herald, WECU, the Public-
ations Board, and the photography staff.
The discussion was heated but many
ideas were brought up.

Med School faces
appropriations cut
By JACKSON HARRILL
Assistant News Editor
The N.C. Legislature's Joint Appropri-
ations Conference Committee were dis-
pleased Tuesday with a proposal that
would increase tuition in the UNC system
community oolleges, and technical insti-
tutes as a way to raise money for pay hikes
fa state employees.
The state lawmakers also considered
several possible cuts, including slicing $3.8
million from the $24.5 million capital
appropriations for the ECU Medical
School.
According to C.G. Moore, ECU vice
chancellor fa business affairs, the pro-
posed cut "won't affect the Med School
The $3.8 million was to have been used
fa the obstruction of an additional bed
tower of the Med School oonplex.
"They could give it (the $3.8 million)
back to ECU at a later session said
Moae.
Earlier this week, legistatas were
presented with a list of $61 million wath of
possible inaeases in state spending during
the 1976-77 fiscal year.
Of the $61 million that will be raised,
$15.2 million will go for enrollment
increases in the University of North
Carolina system, $26.5 million fa ad-
ditional students in canmunity alleges nd
technical institutes, and $5.9 million to
make up fa an underestimate oi the
budget fa public school teachers and
principals' salaries.

SGA passes dorm mail service proposal
By DENNIS LEONARD
News Edita
The Student Government Association
(SGA) Legislature passed a resolution
Monday night oanplaining against the
ceased mail service to the dams ai
Saturdays.
The resolution was authaed by Ricky
Price, SGA speaker of the house, and was
entitled the "Right to Mail Act of 1976
Aocading to Price the resolution was
passed by a unanimous majaity and was
endased by SGA President Tim Sullivan.
"Even though a majority of the
Legislature is day students, they unani-
mously agreed that the end to Saturday
mail deliveries is capricious and arbitrary
action said Price.
mAmmmt � � m win i , - -�
"A copy of the resolution was sent to
Loyd Mills, Greenville postmaster, and a
letter was enclosed stating that the
resolution was passed unanimously by the
student Legislature.
"There has been a strong suggestion that
legal action be taken against the Post
Office and the ending of Saturday
deliveries is another example where ECU
students are being placed at the bottom of
the priaity list
A copy of the SGA Legislature's
resolution and an explanatoy letter will be
sent to Congressmen Walter Jones, David
Henderson, and Senatas Robert Magan
and Jesse Helms.
Aocading to Loyd Mills the past
Saturday's mail deliveries were stopped
because they did not have the manpower to
carry the route.
"Because there is a shatage of help
and we realize that most students go home
on the weekends, we feel the service is no
needed said Mills.
"By stopping the Saturday deliveries
we save man hours, money, and we do nO
have a vehicle out fa any reason. We can
save between $65 and $70 per Saturday
fo ceased operation.
"The United States Post Office is
having budgetary problems and the
Postmaster General has proposed that all
Saturday deliveries be ended and we wok
on a five day week to cut costs
The ECU dams are presently the only
buildings serviced by the Post Office on
Saturdays.
In Oher SGA action vOed on during the
m
mSm
Monday night session, the Appropriations
Committee allocated $150 for travel
expenses to New York so that the
Publications Board's phoographers can
attend a wakshop on how to use cola
enlargers.
There was some opposition to the
appropriation because some legislatos felt
that this travel to New York was
unnecessary, but was passed.
The Appropriations Committee also
allocated $2,900 to the publication of the
KEY, the ECU student handbook.
The next Legislature session is sche-
duled fa the Monday when classes resume
after the vacation. Impotant issues to be
discussed at this session are the newly
revised SGA Constitution and the Pub
Board by-laws.

Events may have changed Jenkins' mind
Several recent events at East Carolina University may have
reflected the end of any gubernatorial campaign this year by ECU
Chancellor Leo Jenkins.
First, last week ECU withdrew from the Southern Conference
and embarked on a most ambitious building program to expand the
seating capacity of Ficklen Stadium.
Then, there is the continuing struggle the newly created Med
School is going through-growing pains they could be called.
While the Med School has been funded it still has to admit that
first student, in fact one projected entry date has been postponed
until this coming January and most think that it will be the Fall of
1977 before the Med School, long something Jenkins has worked
fa, will admit its first student.
The continued struggle with the med school, plus the new
expansion on the athletic front, are two programs Jenkins has
supported hard over the years.
And, whether he would leave the Chancellor's post to run for
Governor with these projects in the works is doubtful we feel.
There is no doubt that the ECU Chancellor would like to run for
the state's top post. Jenkins feels he could bring much to that
position and on that we will agree.
Many political observers had contended that after getting the
Med School approved Jenkins would run for the Democratic
nomination for governor as something as a "last hurrah since
state law would force his retirement from his current position in a
couple of years.
But, the Med School that he sought so long is still not yet a
concrete institution. A bid fa the state's top post could result in
repercussions that the shaky med school does not need.
Then, there are the new goals fa the athletic department at the
school. Jenkins has long pushed fa a top notch athletic program at
ECU. No Pirate booster is more devoted than Jenkins who once
dubbed the Pirates' victay of N.C. State in football several years
ago "the greatest thing to ever happen to ECU
To walk out now, as the university embarks upon this ambitious
plan fa athletics and befae the med school is finally realized
would have to bring a retat fran even his closest associates that
Jenkins is leaving a job not yet finished.
There are also political considerations in this faum fa Jenkins
to stay out of the race.
There are already two candidates from the eastern part of the
state-the region that Jenkins would draw a lot of his support in the
race. Jim Hunt, a ilson native is the leading oontender now and
then Senata Tlu ias Strickland fran Goldsbao is another
candidate in the Demo race fa the top spot.
If Jenkins were to enter the field no less than three candidates
would be vying fa the east vote. And, in such a race Jenkins
would not do as well.
We have no doubts that the New Jersey native could launch a
potent state-wide campaign. And, that he would do well in other
parts of the state. But, his real base would be in the East and mat
vote is already split two ways.
Many had thought his run fa governa would be his "last
hurrah We suspect the ECU Chancella can see a better "last
hurrah" in completing the wak ai the med school and launching
the Pirates' athletic ship on a sound course.
Editorial takes issue
with lampoon edition
Editorial reprint from
News-Argus April 8th.
Goldsboro
It will take a special effort for many of
us to .maintain the enthusiasm with which
we have supported East Carolina Univer-
sity over the years.
We must, of oourse, because of the
educational need that institution fills and
because of the goodness and high purpose
of the vast majority of students enrolled
there.
But the April 1 issue of the campus
newspaper Fountainblah (actually The
Fountainhead") is a source of embarrass-
ment to thousands of us who attended
ECU. It must be a source of concern to
students now enrolled there and to parents
of those students.
It is a disgrace to the institution and is
an unmitigated offense to human decency.
At the top of the front page of the issue
is a picture of the posteriors of four men,
presumably students, bent over spread-
eagled and with their pants and under-
pants dropped.
With that introduction, the campus
"newspaper" gets even more repulsive
page by page.
The language is that one might expect
in the graffiti on the walls of a honky-tonk.
The "News" content of the publication
is grossly disrespectful to the chancellor of
ECU. But then, The Fountainhead has
never expressed any respect for the man
who, more than any other, has built the
institution it now disgraces.
The question must arise to many of us:
What would move a group of young people
to create such a thing as the April 1 issue of
the "Fountainblah"?
Was it an effort to produce the ultimate
in degradation of campus journalism?
Was it an effort on the part of insecure
and immature people to demonstrate that
they ian excel in something - even if it
has to be public expression of filthy
thoughts?
Was it an attempt at humor - at the
expense of people who feel there must be
limits to things we do and say in a civilized
society?
The entire editorial page of "The
Fountainblah" was devoted to a fist
making an obscene jesture. T.iere was not
room for the masthead which, in campus
newspapers, lists the names of the staff
members.
We will want to see one more issue of
that publication that Despoils even the
paper on which it is printed. We will want
to clip the masthead and its listing of
students who would permit their names to
appear as those who created such an
obscenity.
Over the years, a number of students
who worked for "The Fountainhead" had
applied for positions as writers and
photographers for this newspaper.
Students who had anything to do with
the April 1 issue need not apply. They
would have great difficulty convincing us
that they measure up in the respect we
demand for our readers, for our newspaper
and fellow staff members and the respect
we demand for the institution of
journalism.

Prof says students judged by wrong rules
To Fountainhead:
David Bosnick and I have personally
discussed our differing views of the
purpose of oollege theatre reviewing; sinoe
he has made his opinions publicly
manifest in his review of The Contrast I
would like to take this opportunity to do the
same.
I feel it is extremely unfair (as well as
counter-productive) to judge a student
production by professional standards.
When one pays to see a performance by
actors earning their living by presenting
themselves to the public as accomplished
artists, he has the right to complain loudly
if the performances do not meet his
expectations. But the actors in ECU
Playhouse productions are not profession-
als; they are students in the process of
learning their craft. Being in a production
before a live audience is a most important
aspect of their training. If Mr. Bosnick
would have them defer their appearance
until they are fully trained, where are they
to receive such training in the first place?
Not only does such a view create a Catch-22
situation for potential actors, but the
resultant reviews could easily discourage
them from appearing under the already-
bright lights.
Such an approach also creates a double
standard in judging student efforts-one fa
drama participants, and one for everyone
else. The perfamanoe level of student
football players is not compared to that of
Bikers wanted
To Fountainhead:
We are interested in getting in touch
with those students from ECU that are
participating in the Collegiate Bikecenten-
lal this summer from Pueblo, Colo, to
Richmond, Va. With the idea of a group
effat' we feel that a gathaing would
benefit all in waking out transportation
oosts to Colaado- etc.

pro teams; the quality of writing and
repating in the FOUNTAINHEAD is na
canpared to that of maja magazines and
newspapers. If the injustice of comparing
students still in the process of learning to
professionals already waking in their field
is apparent in these situatiais, it should be
equally dear in dealing with student
actas.
Reviews of student perfamancesin any
area should serve to enoourage student
participation and growth, na to discourage
it. Nrteworthy perfamances should be
praised; weak ones are genaally best
handled by silenoe. A student who has
received a low grade on a test a who has
fumbled a play on the playing field does
na need to be publicly berated to be
aware of the present inadequacies of his
efforts, and the same is true of the
developing acta. A good teacher a coach
will encourage the faementioted students
in their attempts to improve; a good
reviewer will do the same with student
pafamers.
Student takes
issue with
editorial
To The Fountainhead:
I disagree with the editaial written
April 8th about the "Homeooming Con-
flict I was in the Homeooming Steering
Committee meeting April 6th and there
seemed to me to be no conflict In fact
only one person spoke against the Alumni
extravaganza
I, fa ate, think the University should
have as much different entertainment fa
Hanecoming as possible. There are many
students who would ratf x see the Tarns'
and the Driftas' rather than Count Basie
and I'm sure there are many Alums of the
Count Basie' generation.
I think the editaial showed a one sided
opinion, that of the out-going Student
Union president, and na of the majaity d
the Canmittee.
I'm glad to see the Alumni of ECU
taking such an active part in Homecaning
1976!

If a reviewer wishes to apply pro-

professional involved in it - the play-
wright, director, choreographer, and
designas. And even hae I feel one must
consider the limitations imposed by
educational theatre; I am sure all of these
members would do things diffaently given
the human and physical resources avail-
able in a professional situation, fnose who
chose to involve themselves in educational
tneatre, unlike their counterparts in the
professional theatre, have a dual responsi-

indeed deserve aiticism; but one must not

Math 65 is wrong course
Dear Dr. Pignani:
If there is only one math course that
studentsare required to take, Math 65 is the
wrong course.
Why is it Math 65 is avoided, flunked
and considered to be a pain in the neck by
many students? It could be that students
fail to see any overlap into other courses. If
there is an overlap it is na being taught as
such. There are ways to make the math
requirement interesting, stimulating and
applicable to other courses. Listed are
some suggestions that a practical math
requirement should include.
1. Logic. This could be applied from
filling out a class schedule to the
maais we develop and live by.
2. Ration Problems. These problems
have practical applications in courses
such as Anatomy, Biology, Chemis-
try, Physiology, Zoology and most
any subjects in which one thing has a
mathematical relation to anaher.
3. Probability. This can further
enhance the ability to see relation-
ships na only in genetics, but social
studies and poker games.
What is wrong with having a math
requirement that is useful as well as fun?
Apparently the math department has a
differer' philosophy: if it hurts it must be
good
The concepts of less than, more than,
subsets, proper subsets, number line,
absolute value, etc etc, never leaves the
classroom. How do I know this? Just ask;
ask any student if they can use Math 65 fa
anything except passing a Math 65 exam.
Surely, there is more to be gained from a
Math oourse than merely an exadse in
unrelated thought processes. The Math
Department should have better insight into
education. Futhermae, the department
has been out in left field with modan math
long enough. It is time to get back in step
with the rest of the University and leave
Math 65 fa the Math graduate students
Sincerely,
Paul Ketcham

Dorm habits
upset reader
Dear Edita:
Several weeks ago, White Dorm
residents began naicing a strange oda in
ate of the stairwells. The smell bears a
nauseating resemblance to urine.
In addition to feeling disgusted at the
thought that there is anyone on a oollege
camp js who would be uncivilized to the
point of relieving himself on the stairs. I
am utterly appalled that nothing has been
done by the university to rid the dam a"
the stench.
I didn't cane to ECU expecting to live

should be expected to sign a lease fa such
unsanitary living conditions.

Special Olympics have special purpose
By KENT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
The point of the Special Olympics is not
to find the best, most competitive or
graceful athletes. It is not to supply empty
hopes for the mentally handicapped. The
point of Special Olympics is to create
athletic competition in order to make the
lives of the athletes fuller and more
meaningful.
The looks on the faces of the athletes
indicated this goal was met. All com-
petitors were willing and eager tooompete,
and did so with confidence and enthus-
iasm. It was their enthusiasm and radiance
that made the April 7 Greenville Special
Olympics such a success.
The games began, as with all Olympic
Games, with a series of opening cere-
monies, beginning with a parade of
athletes. The parade was led by the ECU
ROTC Color Guard, and the Rose High
School Marching Band.
Following the flag raising and the
National Anthem, Olympic tradition was
kept by the lighting of the Special Olympic
torch. The runner, a participant in the
Special Olympics, was Carlton Anderson.
Next came the invocation, introduction
of the honorary coaches, dedication,
oomments, and finally the official opening
by Greenville Mayor Percy Cox.
The competition was divided by age
groups and sexes, with each athlete
participating in two events. Events ranged
from Softball throwing to a 440 relay race.
The athletes all received ribbons for each
event whether or not they came in first.
Special Olympics is sponsored
nationally by the Joseph P. Kennedy
Foundation. The first Special Olympics was
in 1968 with a single meet fa 1,000
children. Since then it has grown to over
2,000 meets with over 300,000 participants.
Locally, the Greenville Special Olym-
pics was sponsored by the Greenvilie Parks
and Recreation Department, Pitt County
Association fa Retarded Children, and the
Greenville Jaycees. Lunch was provided by
McDonalds restaurants and the Coca Cola
bottlers. Many other aganizatiais vol-
unteered their time and effat to make the
games a success.
The games were net much of an activity
fa spectatas. At times it was chaotic with
the participants seeming much less
confused than the volunteers. Organization
did not seem to be the strong suit of the
volunteers, although they did na lack in
enthusiasm, cooperation and care.
An area Special Olympics will be
starting at 10:00 on Saturday May 8. All
volunteers and spectatas are welcome,
and further infamatioi is available fron
the Parks and Reaeatioi Dept.
Supreme court says no to homosexuality
(CPS)-ln spite of the recent trend
expanding the rights of privacy in a
person's own home, the Supreme Court
ruled recently that privacy does not include
the right to engage in homosexual activity.
The high court ruled 6-3 that states may
prosecute and imprison people fa commit-
ting homosexual acts even when both
parties are consenting adults and the act
occurs in private.
Two anonymous homosexuals had
challenged the Virginia laws on homo-
sexuality which fine "crimes against
natureeven by consenting adults�up to
five years in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Although homosexuals concede that few
consenting adults are ever arrested fa
violationsof this statute, many believe that
laws against homosexuality make it seem
like a aime' and leave homosexuals open
to discrimination in housing, employment,
licensing, security clearances and other
areas.
The state, in defending its laws against
homosexuality, bestiality and certain fams
of heterosexual behavia, argued that
prohibiting homosexual conduct had an
effect oi encouraging heterosexual mar-
riage. The Virginia court agreed that it was
enough "fa upholding the legislation to
establish that the (prohibited) conduct is
likely to end in a contribution to maal
delinquency
Honosexual aganizatiais and advo-
cates responded with dismay and astonish-
ment to the Supreme Court decision.
"This was a plain, simple example of
homophobiathe irrational fear and loath-
ing of homosexuals the executive
directa of the National Gay Task Face
canplained The court has abandoned the
logic of the law and its own famer rulings
involving privacy
John Grad, one of the two attaneys fa
the American Civil Liberties Union who
argued fa the plaintiffs, said they had na
even been given the opportunity to
"present our argument that government
has no right to be in anyone's bedroom
No aal arguments a testimaiy were
heard by the Supreme Court and no
opinion was read.

What are you doing
over the holidays?
Holidays
In case you haven't noticed, we are
rapidly approaching Easter. Now, I'm sure
most of you have already packed your cars,
and that many of you will be long gone by
the time we go to press, but then again,
there are always a few lost souls who have
put off making Easter plans until the 11th
hour.
I have compiled a few hints on how one
can spend one's Easter vacation.
For example, there is a Fiddlers
Convention at Union Grove. What? You
don't know where Union Grove is?
Wei I how about founding the first annual
Pactol us Comb and Wax Paper Con-
vention?
If you're not musically inclined, you
could wax up your bowl and head fa the
wild surf at Maehead. What? You can't
get reservations at Atlantic Beach? Well
You could get together with a buddy and
try skateboarding down the Tar.
By this time you should start getting a
few ideas of your own, but, fa those
feeble-minded types I will makeafewmae
suggest iais.
There are bound to be a few
star-aossed lovers out there. Fa you, a
lover's holiday to a locale ike Paris a
Rone would be just your cup of tea. What?
Your passport's expired? WellHow
about a couple of nights at the Tice
Drive-In in the back of your '66 Galaxie
500?
There are, I'm sure, a few intellectuals
out there, who would consider any of the
conventional leisure-time activities to be a
terrible bae. Fa you, I will gladly loan out
all of the books I've purchased in the past
three quarters. (Most of them are
untouched by human hands.)
The preceding list should give you a
more than adequate idea of what to do over
break. What? You're wondering what I'm
planning fa the holidays? Welldo you
have a comb and sane wax paper I could
borrow?

ARMSANDTHEMAN
By SUE ELLEN McLEOD
Staff Writer
Quality and professionalism best de-
cribe the opening performance of The
Voting Company, Arms and the Man, by
seorge Bernard Shaw. Both cast and crew
leemed oblivious to the new auditorium
ind stage with every effect of lighting and
ntonation realized to the fullest. Through-
XJt the entire production, not one word was
06t or inaudible to the audience. The set
Itsign reflected the ornate, aristocratic air
f Catherine Petkoff's "civilized" in-
entions, using rich deep colors to
accentuate soecific areas.
While each characterization was com-
pletely individualized, the characters work
well together, creating continuity within
the action of the play. Sam Tsoutsoyas, as
Captain Bluntschli, was most outstanding
in his portrayal of the Swiss mercenary.
His easygoing, natural and loose manner
of delivery added new dimensions to an
already well written character. Patti
LuPone, in the role of Raina, was
surprisingly effective. Her character car-
ries a facade of oourtly manners, and
affectations of a higher existence. This
facade begins to fray around the edges in
the second act, and dissolves completely in
the third. This difficult change was
handled superbly by LuPone. Peter
Dvorsky, as the unlikely hero, Sergius,
presents the confused and principled
character in a quaintly humorous way.
Each time he adhered to one of his
maxims, such as, "I never withdraw a
look of intense determination enveloped
hischaracter resulting, ironically, toamuse
rather than impress. Louka, Elaine Hous-
man was very noticeable in the first act.
With very few words she successfully
communicated all the treachery and
contempt she held fa her employers.
A fine production, the play gracefully
revealed the talents of both playwright and
actors.
THE WA Y OF THE WORLD
By SUE ELLEN McLEOD
Staff Writer
The Way of the World, by William
Congreve was the second production of
The Acting Company at East Carolina. This
play, however, was not as easily adaptable
to the small stage of MoGinnis Auditorium
as was the oompany's first production.
While the actors dealt efficiently with this
stage problem, several technical problems
were noted in lighting and scene change.
The costumes beautifully reflected the era,
each tailored and fitted with precision. The
rich colors and elaborate design of the
men's costumes tended to outshine the
women's, reflecting the dandies of that
day.
Mirabel, portrayed by Kevin Kline, was
a ladies delight of eloquence and manner.
His well developed air of confidence,
without condescension,was employed most
effectively on the audience as well as the
ladies surrounding him on stage. The

wasoontinually in oontrol of her character.
Her offhand manner of boredom, and
trifling with the attentions of her many
suitors, were extremely effective. The
versatility of Patti LuPone is remarkable.
Her distorted diction and habitual loud-
ness, added to a slight oomical vein,
created a most successful ladies maid,
Foible. The gloriously beautiful Witwoud
and Petulant formed an engaging pair.
Anderson Matthews and Brooks Baldwin,
respectively, expressed with every moment
and vocal inflection their character's
impressions, inclinations, and faults.
While characters with similar qualities,
they are distinctly individualized. The
stormy Petulant, slightly bitter, oontrasts
greatly with Witwoud, who oontinually
aims to please and placate.
Glynis Bell was a convincing Lady
Wishfort. Always ooncerned with ideas of
society and friendship, she finds herself
foiled at every angle. This failure, due in
part, to her own high opinion of herself and
her power.
The play was troubled by a slow
beginning. As it progressed however, the
pace tightened and the audience became
involved. An exceptionally fine technique
in the nlav name in the deliverv of the final
lines of an act. One character would direct
a few lines concerning life or love, and
offering advice, to the audienoe. Tnese
lines were delivered with delicacy and
precision, and then, after a knowing
glanoe, the character was gone, the act
over. The result was very, very effective.
A delightful restoration oomedy, The
Way of the World benefits greatly through
the interaction of the oompany as a whole.
Working together, as well as individually,
they created a smooth and solid perfor-
mance.

ECU entered the Data Processing event
European
art tour
canceled
By JEFF WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
ECU'S annual art and architecture tour
of Europe has been canceled. A lack of
interest was sighted as one of the major
causes.
The tour, sponsored by the Division of
Continuing Education and the School of
Art, was to have made stops in Paris,
Athens, Corinth, Rome, Pompeii, and
several other cities and sites of artistic
value. The participantsoould have received
six quarter hours in Art 325G, if they had
achieved 144 hours of accepted work. For
those who had less than the 144 hour
minimum, six credit hours in Art 155 was
offered. You also could opt not to attempt
credit work.
Several other factors might have
weighed heavily in the cancellation: firstly,
the pamphlet describing the tour was not
received at the prescribed time, thus
limiting the circulation and flow of
information concerning the tour. Secondly,
the tour was to last only twenty-one days
and carry six hours of credit opposed to
other similar tours, academic or otherwise,
that last the length of the summer and offer
twelve hours credit. Finally, and probably
most importantly, was the hefty price tag,
$1,452.00, for the short, busy tour. While
included were economic class air fareto and
from New York, room at first class hotels,
transportation between cities, tuition,
passport and visa fees, laundry, and an
averageot one meal a day were not included.
Taking into account the other expenses a
college student is more than likely to incur
(i.e. wine, women, dance and song) during
a large adventure such as this, the figure
could easily swell to around $2,000 for the
three weeks which could be prohibitive to
even students with the most affluent
support.
Although speculative, it is thought that
the tour will be offered next year.
in which Perry placed second and the

Presidential primaries near finale
By DENNIS LEONARD
News Editor
The presidential primaries are shaping
up to be one of the most unique elections
held in the U.S. in quite a few years.
There are a wide variety of candidates
to choose from and almost every geo-
graphical location in the cojntry is
presently being represented.
There are several questions arising as
to who will be remaining in the race after
the convention, who will enter the race
next, and what kinds of irregularities are in
store fa the vaersduring the 1976 election
year.
Various members of the East Carolina
University Political Science Department
were best able to answer some questions
pertaining to the upcoming elections.
The Demoaatic side of the American
two-party system is evolving into a unique
race within itself.
The Party began the election year with
numerous candidates and due to lack of
voter recognition, many of the candidates
have fallen by the side.
Dr. Thomas Eamon, ECU Political
Science professa, was able to give some
professional insight into the presidential
race and provide some opinionated
answers to questions dealing with the
Demoaatic presidential race.
Q: Dr. Eamon do you feel that Jimmy
Carter's Southern stigma will lose vaes in
the North and Mid-West?
A: "No not overall, because he is from the
South will undoubtedly hurt him in the
drawing rooms of Georgetown, and the
cocktail parties of Manhattan, but it should
not hurt him nationally. There could be
some disadvantages, because there are
some influential people that feel this way,
they have serious reservations about a
Southerner. If Carter loses the nomination
it is going to be for some other reason
Q: Does Henry Jackson's brasbness hurt a
improve his chances fa the candidacy?
A: "I don't think his chances have changed
much, he is still quite abrasive, and that is
not the sort of thing that is going to help
him. Despite Jackson's exposure in the
Gallup Poll, his ratings have been very low.
He was never paired in the general election
and has done much more poorly than Udall
or Carter.
Q: Will the JacksoiCarter race cause a
Demoaatic split conventioi?
A: "If it is a JacksonCarter race, I do not
predict that in the first place. I do not think
we would have a deadlock convention, if
the uncommitteds could evolve into a
Hubert Humphrey bloc. If you are looking
at scenarios in the next few months, the
possibility is likely that Humphrey could
enter before April 3oth
Q: Will Humprhey enter the Califania
primary?
A: "I wouldn't expect him to enter the
important primaries, but I think he would
attempt to gather support from the
delegates that are uncommitted
Q: Do you feel that the Demoaatic Party is
showing signs of di9agani2ation by na
being able to pick a definite candidate?
A: "It is going to be the appearance of
many to be a contrived situation and the
Carter forces are going to be bitter if
Humphrey gets the nomination. I feel the
Democratic Party is going to be haunted by
this in the general election. I wouldn't be
presumptuous enough to predict the
election if its either a HumphreyFord race
or a CarterFord race. I do feel that Fad
would defeat Jackson and would make
Ford look dynamic. A Reagan situation
would be different and I would give either
Carter or Humphrey an edge, possibly
even Jackson. Reagan could have a good

chance in the South, even against Carter.
As you possibly know the religious issue
enters the picture with Carter running
because he is a southern evangelical
protestant. The Northern liberals do not
know how to handle Carter and it makes an
interesting race. Carter is to protestants
what Kennedy was to Catholics and
Northern liberals feel very uncomfortable
with this openness
Dr. John East of the Political Science
Department provides an analysis fa the
Republican Party's present election
position.
Q: Do you feel that President Fad will
continue his primary success?
A: "Ford has been winning the primaries,
but he has not been winning by great
majorities. Almost half of the Republicans
to date are not happy with President Ford's
performance. I feel that Reagan will win in
Texas and California and he is doing well in
the states that do not have primaries but
have delegate selection conventions. If
Ford is not able to win on the first ballot, it
becomes difficult to judge the committed
delegates it he has trouble in getting the
uncommitted delegates. If Reagan is able
to carry Texas he may still be alive and well
for the nomination.
Q: What will determine the Republican
Party s nomination to the Presidency?
A: There are going to be two things that
will affect the outcome. First Ford is not as
strong a President as he needs to be under
the circumstances, he is an accidental
president. Secondly, Reagan is a very
effective campaigner and he has strong
grass roots appeal to Republicans.
Q: Do you feel that the reason behind
Ford's inactiveness in the presidency has
been due to the way he came into the
office?
A: Ford has encountered some problems in
issues, for example Watergate. One fact is
that he came into the presidency so
quickly, it might partially account for his
alleged ineffectual leadership. Ford is
symptomatic for Congressional leadership
from which he came, the broker rote, and
has tried to maintain that roie in the
presidency.
Q: Do you feel another reason fa Fad's
ineffectiveness has been because he has
had no constituency to identify with?
A Ford is not a man of temperament and
political experience. Ford had to build a
constituency when he came into office and
has had a hard time establishing one
Herbert Carlton another political
science professa feels that Reagan has an
even chance to gain ground in Califania
and Texas. Ford has already announced
that Reagan is ahead in Texas said
Carlton. "There has been greater conser-
vative suppat in the conventiai states that
was expected and it is easier to influence
the political party loyalist rather than
influence a rank and file vaer against an
incumbent.

A star is reborn with Streisand
By BARBARA LEWIS
Pop Scene Editor
"Dear Barbara the mailgram began,
indicating she does know the correct way to
spelI the name. "We want to thank you for
joining us on location fa the filming of "A
Star is Ban" here in Phoenix Signed,
Barbra Streisand and Jco Peters.
The thank-you note is either an
indication of a new Barbra, a it's the side
of her she exhibits every now and then
when she becomes personally involved in a
project. The last time the usually unavail-
able Streisand made herself available to
the press was when her company, First
Artists, released "Up the Sandbox" four
years ago. The massive press conference,
nonetheless, proved little help at the box
office.
This time the film not only is a First
Artists production but has Streisand as
executive producer and her boy friend,
Peters, as producer. Both of them met the
press, mingled informally with them,
posed fa the photographers and beamed
continuous thanks upon the throngs of
doting followers, some of the press and
press agents among them. Whether she
demands it a it is heaped upoi her
unsolicited, Streisand gets star treatment.
"Barbra is going to pose fa pictures.
But please, doit take any while she is
speaking a publicist fa Warner Bros
which is releasing the film, instructed the
throng of photographers.
When she walked cut aaoss the Sun
Devil Stadium field at Arizona State
University, the photographers surged
fa ward as if each was going to get an
exclusive shot, shoving and pushing each
other fa a better angle.
As she was lead to the lunch table fa
the interview sessiai, the photographers
followed, despite the objections of her
protectas.
She looked at the camera copp. and,
pointing to three sandwiched in the crowd,
said, Hey, they're okay. They're our
guys and we're paying them

MASS APPEAL - Barbra Streisand performs for 50,000 at the Sun Devd Satdium in
Phoenix during a filming recess on the location of' 'A Star Is Born
That was Barbra Streisand the produoer
speaking.
Although this is the fourth time around
fa "A Star is Ban it isthe first time that
Peters has produced a film and that
Streisand has done a oomplete rock score.
Essentially, it is a new film, rather than a
remake, with Streisand playing a super
rock star on the way up while Kris
Kristofferson, her oo-star, pat rays a rock
star on his way out.
It is a role that Kristofferson aiginally
rejected, ostensibly because of the image.
He later acquiesced at the insistence of his
wife, RitaCodidge. Streisand stressed that
Kristofferson had been her first choice fa
the part, but she acknowledged that she
personally offered the role to Elvis Presley
after Kristofferson first turned it down.
Presley refused the role, reportedly over
billing, image and obesity.
The picture is also impatant to Barbra,
she says, because she is using her
character to mirra her personal beliefs.
"Esther is a liberated woman who
knows where it'sat. I'm making her say all
the things I want to say. This is great
when you are making your own film, you
can be responsible fa what the character
stands fa. I'm interested in the liberation

a male society.
"Inother wads, the women in the past

There is a scene in the film in which
Esther has a ooifrontatioi with autograph
seekers which also reflects Streisand's
feelings.
"I'm sitting in a Chinese restaurant
eating spareribs with my husband (Kris-
tofferson) and sane fans come up and ask
fa my autograph. I tell them I'm with my
family, and that my hands are greasy. And
they say, If that's your attitude, we're no
going to buy any moe of your �
records
Streisand voioed some apprehension
about the changed concept of the film.
"We're taking a lot of changes, we
know, about role-playing, the role of the
man vs. the woman
The film, which will be released at
Christmas, will feature "Streisand rook
which is the magnificent big voice with a
beat. The day after the press oonferenoe,
Barbra offered a preview of that sound at a
mock rock festival.
A recod Arizona aowd of 50,000 paid
$3.50 each to attend the all-day concert,
which was promoted jointly by impresario
Bill Graham and Peters solely as a way of
getting an audience fa a concert sequence
needed in the film.
Appearing at the concert were Peter
Frampton, Santana, Moitrose, Graham
Central Station, and the L.A. Jets, a new
group on R.C.A. playing its first gig. The
crowd had not been promised a Streisand
perfomano9, but no one was surprised
when she took center stage.
The super voice opened with The Way
We Were which she sang to back-up
tracks especially flown in. At the aowd's
insistence, she also sang People It was
a new kind of audience fa Streisand, who
has rationed her live performances to the
stage and a brief stint in Las Vegas.
She appeared obviously anxious to
please, talking to the huge aowd as if it
were one, singing new rook material to get
the reaction and trying to win over a
reluctant and elusive following that she will
need to insure the success of the film.
The two-day weekend served a multi-
tude of purposes. An album of the live
performances featuring the five rock
groups, Streisand and Kristofferson, who
sang one number, is being considered.
Films of all the activities are to be used fo
a one-hour TV special as well as fa
pranotiaial clips.
The weekend also gave Streisand and
her rock audience a chance to evaluate
each Oher.
If this is in fact a new Barbra, it's a
welcome change. She won a new following,
including me.

The Final Days shows hostilities
ByR. WHITSON
Staff Writer
The decline and fall of an American
president has sparked new national
interest in the wakings of the federal
govenment and a frightening decline of
public faith and trust in the Washington
government. Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein, the Washington Post cor-
respondents responsible fo revelation of
the Watergate and cover-up scandals, have
produced in The Final Days a shocking
desoiption of the inner-office hostilities
and petty feuds which, coupled with what
the authas see as Nixon's inability to
govern in his final weeks in office,
combined to faoe a precedent-setting
abdication.
Nixon is seen throughout the text as in
declining mental and physical health
during the period covered (April 1973 -
August 1974) The picture painted of the
President as given to fits of rage,
depression a extreme inooherency, the
President's nOed inability to "hold his
liqua Kissinger's oaitempt fa a man
who he described as "our meatball
President the qeneral "everyman fa
himself" attitude as the ship of state
foundered on the rocks of the Watergate
scandal, all provide an amazing insight into
the deterioated state of the executive
branch of our government.
To be published in May of this year, the
book is already under fire from those
mentioned in the text, nOably Kissinger
and Gen. Haig, (who Woodward and
Bernstein say may be anonymous sources
for the book itself) and from other
corespondents and governmental experts
who oonsider the book's portrait of Nixon
as an incompetent, rapidly declining
individual as posing a threat to inter-
national faith in future American presi-
dents. Charges of outright fabrication have
been hurled at Woodward and Bernstein
from members of the Nixon household,
especially Julie Eisenhower, and Ohers
who point out that certain scenes presented
in ?he text, i.e. the now famous Kissinger-
Nixoi "prayer session" which saw the
President collapse in tears to the floo of
the Linooln Sitting Room, oould only be the
result of literary license. Yet the authas
vehemently refute any such notion and
point instead to the files containing
infomatioi gleaned from hundreds of
sources, infomatioi collected from the
White House maid to high (and still
anonymous) government officials.
The book is moe than an histoically
fascinating political critique, it is a
psychological study of a beaten Nixon,
preparing fa the final decision. Nixon's
inaeasing alcoholism, his hints at suicide
and his consistent spurning of anti-
assassmatiai security measures, seem to
point to a man intent upon his own
destruction. The terrific pressures upon
the ex-Pres. as he saw his staff turn against
him and the American people lose all faith
in both him and the office of the President
are desaibed in detail without any real
rancour o vengefulness.
The Final Days, which Woodward and
Bernstein proudly claim will stand the test
of time, is the most controversial histoy
book every written in this country. A
month befoe publishing,the book has been
both praised and damned by equally
aedible and influential souroes. Wath
reading during the quarter's final days.

No playhouse
for this summer
By KENT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
According to the chairman of the ECU
Drama Department, Edgar Loessin, there
will be no ECU Summer Playhouse as there
was last summer. The reason fa the
discontinuation of the Playhouse is to
provide time to renovate McGinnis
Auditorium.
"A ooupieof years ago said Loessin,
' we were appropriated $80,000 to plan the
renovation of McGinnis. Right now we feel
that the auditorium is in too poor shape to
hold the summer playhouse
Plans for the renovation are complete,
but the Drama Department must be
appropriated $2.5 million to carry through
with them.
"I don't see any hope for getting the
money appropriated during this legis-
lature, but possibly the next bi-annum
meeting explained Loessin. "There is
too much money going to the Med School
for us to be appropriated that much

ECU blasts Citadel
on Roenker's hit
A grand slam home run is one of the
hardest hitting feats to achieve in baseball
and hitting two grand slams in the same
year is virtually unheard of.
ECU leftfielder Joe Roenker accom-
plished both feats Monday night, though,
when he blasted a seventh-inning grand
slam against the Citadel. His hit helped to
power the Pirates to an 8-7 extra-inning
win over the defending oonferenoe champ-
ions.
Roenker, who slammed a grand slam in
the last game the Pirates played, on Friday
against UNC-Wilmington, smacked a 3-2
pitch over the leftfield fence to lead the
Pirates back from a 7-2 deficit.
Roenker's blast scored Rick Koryda,
Geoff Beaston and Pete Paradossi to bring
the Pirates back to 7-6 in the top of the
seventh, and when Sonny Wooten followed
by slamming a solo homer to right the
score was knotted at 7-7.
The Pirates held off the Bulldogs the
rest of the way behind the relief pitching of
Bob Feeney and Terry Durham and pushed
across the winning run in the tenth for the
8-7 win.
That winning run scored when Howard
McCullough lofted a sacrifice fly to score
Charlie Stevens, who had been placed in
scoring position by Koryda'sthird single of
the day.
Were it not for the Pirates' comeback,
though, the day may have been a disaster.
To begin with, the Pirates committed
five errors in the field and left nine runners
stranded on the base paths.
From the mound, the ECU nine got off
to a bad start when Dean Reavis was
drilled fa four runs in just over an inning's
work, marking the second straight appear-
ance that the Pirate hurler had been badly
treated by the opposition.
Another runner was caught in a
rundown after a squeeze bunt failed. In the
ninth, another runner was caught off base
after over-running third base with one out.
Each play got the Pirates out of a jam.
And finally, in the tenth, McCullough
lofted a long fly to score Stevens with the
winning run which brought ECU'S season
record to 17-4 on the season and its
oonferenoe mark to 4-4.
In his last appearance Reavis was
drilled fa four runs in less than an inning.
The Bulldogs' treatment of Reavis was
their initial treatment of his replacement,
Keith Kurdewan, staked them to a 6-1 lead
after three innings. Both ECU and the
Citadel scaed in the fourth, thus giving
the home team its 7-2 spread at the time of
the ECU oomeback in the seventh.
After the fourth, though, Kurdewan
calmed down to pitch three mae good
innings befae turning it over to Feeney
and Durham, who also stopped the
Bulldogs.
Durham picked up the win, running his
season mark to 4-1.
Even though they committed five
erras, the Pirate fielders did lend sane
backing to the ECU hurlers down the
stretch. In the fifth, a Bulldog runner was
cut down at the plate.
Women scholarships seem to
cause more headaches than help
By DIANE TAYLOR
Staff Writa
By July 1, 1978, athletic scholarships
and oppatunities must be propationate to
the number of male and female athletes in
a college program, aocading to the federal
Title IX regulations.
However, the women's athletics de-
partment at ECU is opposed to offering
scholarships at this time.
"We're philosophically qpposed to
issuing grants-in-aid to womei s spats
said Catherine Bolton, Coadinata of
women's atheltics.
She explained that along with offering
scholarships, women's coaches would have
to begin a reauiting program.
"We're already seeing the abuses of
this she said. "High school senios are
already getting hassled by the reauiting
circus.
Often the reauiting progrartf is mae
expensive than the scholarships, Bolton
said
"The money must come from some-
where and I don't think you want activity
fees to inaease she stated. "Until
women's spats develop enough to got
receipts sufficient to suppat a scholarship
program then it's difficult to philosophical-
ly suppat it
Cliff G. Moae, vice-chancel la fa
business affairs, explained that the ath-
letics' budget is mainly composed of
generated revenue.
Fa example, of the total 1375-76
budget of $934,900, about $400,000 was
generated by the football program, Moae
said. Basketball accounted for about
$40,000 in receipts.
"I don't think women's sports will ever
generate a substantial amount of reve-
nue Moae said.
Bill Cain, athletic directa, expressed
strong doubts that women's spats would
ever achieve a large audience suppat.
Naietheless, the law requires that
scholarships be given to female athletes.
This year eight women athletes are
receiving aid. In comparison, 200 male
athletes are on scholarship, aocading tj.
Cain.
Bolton explained that accading to the
number of women athletes here, 25 percent
of all scholarships given shouiJ go to
women by right of Title IX. At this point a
clarification has not been made on whether
the percent should be in number of
scholarships given a the amotnt of total
scholarship money spent, she added.

Rumor Needs Looking Into
In Tuesday'sedition of the FOUNTAINHEAD, a front-page exclusive was run which
dealt with the possibility of a seven-team oonferenoe being famed in the near future, with
East Carolina as a member.
The evolution of this news to the FOUNTAINHEAD, and as far as we knew, only the
FOUNTAINHEAD, makes this writer think that this repat is not entirely true, still
warrants looking into.
Granted this report could very easily be one of those trial balloons that is sent into
or bit befae the real McCoy" is sent up, but if there is a trial balloon we feel somewhere
behind it there must be a real one waiting.
Fa thisreasai, this writer fa aie has a tendency to take some stock in the ruma and
ask "why not"?
This oonferenoe which is proposed would be very beneficial to ECU, as well as the
other schools which were mentioned: South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia
Tech, William and Mary, Richmond and Haida State.
Every school, with the exception of William and Mary, is currently independent a will
be in the near future, and every school has expressed some interest in joining a new
oonferenoe if that oonferenoe were composed of schools of equal talent to its own and from
a wide enough area to make the interest productive.
In these seven schools, including ECU, there is a great deal of football priaity and in
this case, football is the key to the whole ball of wax. This is virtually the situation in the
case of every one of the schools mentioned above, but most impatantly, it is the situatioi
in the case of ECU'S program.
We are all fa the University and itsoff iaals.pursumg such a course as to bring about
the famation of such a conference as soon as possible, if indeed this high official is just
not playing games.
But a oonferenoe such as this proposed Mid-South oonferenoe would be highly
beneficial from the viewpoint of ECU, Richmond and William and Mary in the fact that it
will bring the schools in contact with bigger name football schools which can draw the
type of aowds necessary fa building a football program.
And where foaball prospers, so would the entire program. This holds true mostly in
the case of ECU sinoe it does na have the big oontributas that the two V irginia schools
have. This has always been one of the great gaps between the funding of ECU athletics
and the funding of the Nath Carolina situated ACC schools.
The gap in football between ECU, the ACC and any of theaher six schools tapped fa
this new conference has considerably lessened in the last four years.
In this writer's mind, the gap is not so much one of money in scholarships, but mae it
is a matter of prestige now. ECU can offer its football players, rather its prospective
football players, the same monetary benefits as any of the other schools on the surface.but
it does na have the prestige program like the ACC schools a South Carolina, Flaida
State, West Virginia a Virginia Tech.
In the case of Richmond and William and Mary, in many areas ECU does not have the
educational prestige that these two schools do. The university is, however, making strides
in this endeava.
It gets down to a la mae than the future of the football program. The inclusion of
ECU in a class conference, as the proposed Mid-South Conference would be, would bring
in added gate receipts which could be used to upgrade after athletic areas.
As far as the other spats are oonoerned, we feel ECU can hold its own in the aher
spats with these schools, should a conference be famed. We also feel there are
advantages to joining such a oonferenoe as this, perhaps the same ones that were
disadvantages in staying within the Southern Conference. And mae so, we feel the new
oonferenoe would be a e which the NCAA would go fa as a NCAA-affiliated oonferenoe.
We would like to hear some student input on what they say, as well as some student
input as to what they think of the entire athletic program. If necessary, we will try and
answer all letters which we may get from students conoerning the new athletic situation at
ECU, be it by us answering them ourselves, a us going to the best souroeswecan, to get
the best answers we can. So, let's see what the students think fachange.

department is the set of regulations put our
by the Nath Carolina Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
(AIAW) of which ECU is a charter
member.
Current AIAW rules allow schjaarships
to be awarded fa tuition and fees, room
and board only. Also, no money may be
spent in physical reauiting. (Reimbursing
coaches' travel to recruit or paying
paential reauits expenses to visit the
schools.)
Reauiting is now being done by mail
with prospective reauits paying their own
expenses, aocading to Bolton.
However, Bolton feels the future may
hold rnae nope, as far as available
scholarship money.
Last year the National Collegiate
Athletics Association (NCAA) fa men,
almost passed a rule to allow member
schools to give aid of tuition and fees only
with room and board considered on the
basis of need. ECU is a member school.
The AIAW has proposed that aid be
given fa tuition and fees only.
"These two are so dose, we feel in
anaher year the NCAA will pass theirs
(prooosition). We'll add the room and
board on basis of need and scholarship
values will be equal fa men and wonen
said Bolton. "Therefae the rrfen's (scho-
larships) will be less and it will leave mae
available fa the women
There are currently only three women's
coaches. Anaher position may be added by
1977-78, accading to Bolton. There are
eight women's spats at ECU.
If a full reauiting program is to evolve
there must be mae women's coaches,

Some might call ECU golfer Steve
Ridge a little cocky, but in truth he is just a
very oonfident golfer who is proud of his
ability. To top it off, Ridge is trying extra
hard to upgrade his game for the upcoming
Southern Conference tournament next
week in Florence, S.C.
Only this time around there may be a
little added pressure on the redheaded
Burlington native since he is the top
member of the ECU team and is ranked
fourth in the conference going into the
tournament.
"It is a little different than last year
said Ridge. "Then I really was not one of
the better players on the team. This year,
though, I am going into the tournament
with the best stroke average and there is a
lot of pressure on me to perform
Ridge opened the season as the
number-six golfer on the team, but in the
prestigious Pinehurst Invitational he
placed tenth in a strong field with a
three-round total of 223. During the
tournament he shot 72 on the Pinehurst
course, a feat most professionals find a
challenge to achieve.
Ridge credits this with part of the
confidence he has in his game.
I played one of the toughest oourses in
the nation in the Pinehurst Number Two
course and I beat Curtis Strange one day
and he is one of the best amateur golfers in
the nation.
"Now I know that I can play with the
best and I have confidence in my game. I
have had trouble with my putting and that
has kept me from scoring better than I
have
The next week, at the Camp Lejeune
Invitational, Ridge was upstaged by
teammate Mike Buckmaster, who finished
third, but shot another 223 total to place
tenth onoe again. In that tournament,
Ridge shot a three-under par 69. His 69 is
still the best score shot by a conference
golfer this year.
But in the Furman Interoollegiate the
next week the ECU team hit both its peak
point of the season as well as its low point
of the season.
At the end of two rounds, ECU was in
fourth place after firing the best team score
the second day and Ridge was sitting
comfortably in the top ten. On the final
day, however, the ECU team blew up and
wound up finishing in 16th place. Ridge,
too, shot poorly the last round and wound
up behind freshman Frank Acker and
Buckmaster.
Despite the collapse, Ridge still be-
lieves ECU has a good shot at Winning the
conference crown.
"We played poorly that last round, but
I think the three week layoff we have had
since that time has really helped us to get it
out of our system.
"Everyone has been hitting the ball
great and I think any one of our first five
players is capable of winning the tourna-
ment, and I'll predict that at least four of
our golfers make all-conference, which is
the top ten individuals in the tournament
If Ridge seems to be putting a lot of
pressure on the team, then read what he is
putting himself up to.
"I'm out to get the medalist position in
the tournament, as well as us winning the
conference. To finish first wouid mean an
automatic bid to the NCAA tournament
and that is my goal.
"I have been hitting the ball just super
and all I need to work on now is my putting
and some of the mental things.
"I know where the ball is going when I
hit it now and last year I didn't. That's
because I've been working on my game
more this year
Ridge feels to win the Pirates will have
to beat two-time defending champion
Furman and Appalachian State, which
finished one stroke behind the second-
place ECU team in 1975.
"We will have to have everyone of our
five best golfers shoot at least 78 each day
in order to have a chance and I believe we
can do that. For the first time in my three
years at ECU, I feel like we can really win
the Southern Conference tournament
Ridge makes a lot of challenges for
himself and his teammates, but if the
pieces fall in place next week in Florence,
Ridge might just come back with that
Medalist trophy and the ECU golfers may
just have another conference championship
trophy to add to the Minges trophy case.
Golfers hope to continue success
The East Carolina University golf team
isout tooontinue itsstrong showings in the
Southern Conference Golf Championships
April 19-21 at the Country Club of South
Carolina in Florence.
The Pirates have two first-place finish-
es, five second-place finishes and one
third-place finish since 1967. The last title
was won in 1971.
Pirate coach MacMcLendon is optimis-
tic about his team's chances.
"We are playing better golf at this
point this year than last year said
McLendon. "And we've shown at times
this year that we can play excellent golf.
All we need to do is maintain consistency
fa three straight rounds. If we do that, I
think we have an excellent shot at the
title
Playing at the number one seeded
position will bo Steve Ridge, a junior from
Greensboro. Ridge has a 75.3 stroke
average in nine rounds of tournament play
this year.
The remainder ot the team will be.
Mike Buckmaster (9 rounds- 75.5), Rob
Welton (9 rounds- 76.7), Keith Hiller (9
rounds- 77.3), Frank Acker (9 rounds-

sitting for exams developed by Educational
Testing Service (ETS).
And, as they have fa years, ETS staff
members will be joining them at selected
test centers throughout the country. Their
job: to make sure that everything goes ail
right and perhaps find ways to improve the
testing situation itself - for the sake of the
students and the test center supervisor.
Toward tnese enas, almost 200 ETJ?
staff members will drop in, announced and
unannounced, at any of the 6,000 centers in
operation during the 22,000 test adminis-
trations scheduled throughout the year.
Their mission is to watch and listen and
report back to the ETS program relations,
William B. Bret nail.
According to Bretnall, the test pro-
grams most often involved in these routine
observations are national programs admin-
istered by ETS, such as the College
Board's Admissions Testing Program and
the Law School Admission Test. Scores
from these particualr exams are used as
part of the admissions process by colleges
and law schools.
The ETS Test Center Observation
Program has several purposes, Bretnall
says. One is to keep ETS staff informed
about actual conditions faced by the
students at the test center. Is teh seating
adequate and comfortable? Is the lighting
good? Is the center free from disruptive
noises?
"We want to make sure that appropri-
ate ETS staff have personal experience
with the factsof life of a test administrator.
ETS program directors and those who write
supervisors' manuals should see the
results of their work in action
The visits also have another goal. That
is to help test center supervisors with
administrative problems a perhaps sug-
gest improvements. These supervisors,
almost always local educators experienced
in test center administration, insure that
the appropriate testing facilities are
available at the center and that everything
goes along well during the actual testing.
Supervisors are encouraged, Bretnall
says, to tell ETS what problems they face
and, if any, to make suggestions for
improvements. "And we listen to them and
make changes, when necessary Bretnall
adds.
"In other words, we want to be sure
that we do not allow ourselves to become
isolated in any ivory tower and insulated
from the practical effects of our work. We
continually need hands-on experiences to
maintain and improve our test administra-
tion procedures
ETS test center observers undergo a
training program to help them understand
the role they are expected to play. And
when they go out into the field, they carry a
letter of introduction, manuals fa adminis-
tering test programs, a center contact
repat fam and other material.
Dr. Moellerappointed
to national commission
By DENNIS FOSTER
Staff Writer
Dr. Herman G. Moeller, of the ECU
department of social wak and caredioial
services, was appointed to a position on the
National Canmissioi fa Accreditation of
Carections(NCAC) in March.
Following his appointment, Dr. Moeller
was elected chairman of the commissiai.
The NCAC consists of 20 persons
elected by the canmissioi. Each member
is elected to a five year term.
"The members are elected so as to
represent all regions in the area of
corrections said Moeller. "Judges,
lawyers, carectional administraas, as
well as educatas, oanprise the NCAC.
"The NCAC famulates standards of
perfamance and practice fa carectiaial
agencies and institutions said Moeller.
NCSU strike lacks
student support
"It is a system for the voluntary
accreditation of those institutions that meet
these standards.
"The accreditation procedure is similar
to that of hospitals and institutes of higher
education accading to Moella.
The NCAC was famed two years ago
and is currently funded by the U.S.
Department of Justice, the Law Enface-
ment Assistance Administration, and
private foundations.
"The commission will be self-suppat-
ing in the long run because institutes and
agencies will pay fa accreditation said
Moeller.
"Some long term goals of the NCAC
are to promote higher standards of
carectional parole in the United States and
to insure a high level of public safety
through manpower resources said Moel-
ler.

Tuesday's proposed strike approved by
N.C. State's Student Senate in protest of
the planned reduced drop period never
materialized accading to sources at the
TECHNICIAN, N.C. State's student news-
paper.
"i wasanamal dassday said Lynn
Griffin, TECHNICIAN assistant news
edita. "We were expeding 3,000 at the
protest rally but only 700-800 people
turned out
The strike was planned in prdest of the
N.C. State's Faculty Senate recommend-
atioi to reduce the drop period from its
present length of nine weeks to two weeks.
The Faculty Senate proposed the cut
because of the rising number of drops
being taken which was leaving dasses half
filled by mid semester.
Accading to sources at the TECH-
NICIAN, State's Faculty Senate has
reconsidered their aiginai proposed cut
because of student protest. The drop
period will be four weeks instead of the
planned two and during this time students
can drop dasses unconditionally. There
will also be an additional two week drop
period during which students can drop a
course and receive a "W" (withdrawal) fa
the term.
After the observation is over, the
findings are reported back to ETS.
Comments might range from exceptionally
well-run center, all procedures followed, to
peer lighting in the cafeteria a inadequate
diredions to test room a rest roam The
repat goes into each center's file at ETS
for follow-up action. Deviations from
standard procedures also are pointed out to
the supervisors with suggestions for
improvement, while good procedures are
acknowledged and shared with other
centers.
The College Boards are developed and
administaed by ETS fa the Cdlege
Entrance Examination Board, a nonprofit
association of mae than 2,000 schools and
school systems, oolleges and universities,
associations and scholarship aqendes.
ETS develops and administers the Law
School Admission Test fa the Law School
Admission Coundl, a nonprofit capaatioi
representing mae than 150 law schools
accredited by either the American Bar
Association a the Assodation of American
Law Schools.
Bretnall also points out the staggering,
but often little-realized, job both ETS and
the supervisas do to make sure test
booklets, answer sheets and back-up
materials are at the designated centers and
match the number of students scheduled
for testing. "Consider, for instance,
ETS must arrange fa almost 3,000 test
centers aaoss the nation to be staffed and
available on the same day fa a large
College Board administration, and have
test materials there fa each student who
has registered. It's a complicated logistical
operation
