Strickland stresses law and order campaign
By DENNIS C. LEON A RD
News Editor
Tom Strickland, N.C. candidate for
governor, brought his law and order
campaign show into Greenville last Wed-
nesday night at Parker's Barbecue.
Strickland and his campaign troops
provided dinner for approximately 100
supporters, reporters, and ECU students.
The ECU students consumed a healthy
portion of Parker's fine foods and sat back
to listen to Strickland make his campaign
stand.
"It is about time we became mature
citizens and faced the reality of our rising
crime in North Carolina said Strickland.
"I believe in accountability, individual
accountability and we may have reached a
point where we depend too much on the
government
Strickland stressed law enforcement
throughout most of his speech and stated
that he was a strong conservative
Democrat who believed in law and order.
Strickland provided a few new pro-
posals he would implement if elected
governor, all dealing with criminal justice
in some manner.
"First there should be some statutory
changes in criminal law, there should be no
probation fa armed robbery. Secondly, the
second felony should not be allowed a
parole nor a chance fa probation. My third
proposal is that we change our, prison
systems. We should utilize the prisons
mae and warehouse the aiminals if
necessary. We should put the prisoners
back on the road to make them wak
instead of sit in their cells
Accading to Strickland he will be
campaigning to cut down on crime
throughout N.C.
Strickland ended his speech on a
religious note by stating how he feels about
God and that he is not ashamed to admit
his beliefs.
After the speech Strickland permitted a
shat questiai and answer session fa the
college aiented audience.
Fountainhead asked Strickland how he
felt about gun controls, and should they be
implemented.
"I am against gun controls because
they do not wak, but anyaie caught with a
concealed weapon should be given a
mandatay sentence replied Strickland.
Strickland later stressed the need fa aime
control in this state even though he is
against the control of fire arms.

ECU faculty making unionization efforts
ByMONIKA SUTHERLAND
Special to Fountainhead
About faty faculty members at ECU
attended an infamatioial meeting of the
American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
Thursday, May 13.
Phil McKeany, executive director of
North Carolina AFT, addressed the group.
AFT is a national aganizatioi affiliated
with the AFL-CIA. Active in every state,
the AFT has 450,000 members, of which
45,000 are college teachers.
Accading to Dr. Paul Dowell of the
English department, ECU has approxi-
mately 30 members, mostly from the
English and Math departments. At least
faty are needed befae ECU can be
chartered.
Faculty members at UNC-Charlotte and
Western Carolina have both joined AFT
and the faculty at UNC-Greensboro is
considering joining.
McKeany desaibes the aganizatioi as
being "quite different" fron other edu-
cational aganizatiois such as the National
Association of Educators (NAE) and the
American Association of University Pro-
fessas (AAUP).
"We have no administrative mem-
bers said McKeany. "Everything we do
is done fa teachers. We are the oily
independent voice of teachers. We
(teachers) make the biggest contributioi to
education, therefae we should be heard
said McKeany.
Accading to McKeany one of the most
effective aspects of AFT is the collective
bargaining contract. Currently there is a
SGA plans transport expansion
By DENNIS C. LEON A RD
News Edita
The Student Government Association
Legislature passed one of the largest
appropriations ever affirmed at ECU fa
the expansiai of the present transpatatiai
system.
The costly appropriation fa $55,000
allows the SGA to purchase two new buses
fa next year's operation and gives the
present system an added $3,000 for
maintenance and operation until July 1st.
Accading to Greg Davis, transpat-
atiai manager, the new buses will be far
superia over the ones now in operation.
"The new buses will have flat noses and
bodies which will provide a shater turning
radius, automatic transmissions, air
brakes, which has half the moving parts of
hydraulic brakes, extra staage room,
luggage racks, and 60 gallon gas tanks
which will allow the buses to be filled once
every two days said Davis.
The bus routes will be expanded fa
next year and will include a wider portioi
of the Greenville community.
In rther transpatatiai news dealt with
by the Legislature, SGA President Tim
Sullivani announced Gary Miller as the new
transpatatiai manager fa next year.
Milla is a junia Business maja fran
Fayetteville and has been associated with
the transpatatiai system fa three years.
Accading to Davis, Gary Miller has
been a vital part of the transportation
system and the SGA couldn't have found a
mae reliable per sot.
NEW TRANSPORTATION MANAGERTim Sullivan, SGA President, and Greg Davis,
Transportation Manager, brief Gary Miller, the newly chosen Secretary of Transportation
for the SGA Miller comes into office with a new appropriation of $55,000 for the purchase
of two new buses and route expansion lor next year.
"Greg Davis came alcng with a good
system that people have respected and
used, and he has done a good job said
Miller. "I am open to any suggestions from
anyone and I hope the transit system
becomes one of the best around
In other action the Legislature appro-
priated approximately $30,000 to
FOUNTAINHEAD fa the summer budget
and fa operation during the first two
months of next fall.
This appropriation covers salaries,
printing, production and travel expenses.
An amendment was approved that allowed
the hiring of a photographer during the
summer session also.
The Legislature appropriated $1,000 to
WECU for the hiring of a Federal
'Communications Commission attaney to
study the feasibility of the station going
FM. Legislata Kennan Williams labeled
the bill as the "First Step" fa the statiai
in going FM.
The Legislature defeated a bill that
would allow the publication of an aient-
atiai brochure to ECU on the basis that
FOUNTAINHEAD would provide the same
servioes during the summer and make the
brochures available to all students.
"A $100 gift was given to the
"Thundering Herd Memaial" hoiaing
the victims of the 1970 plane aash of the
Marshall University football team after
playing ECU in Greenville. All players
aboard the plane were killed and the
memaial gift will go towards the purchase
of a memaial plaque.
The Legislature approved the oonstitu-
tiois of REAL House and fa OSHA. Ray
Hudsoi introduoed a resolution that stated
the disapproval of the administration's
hour limitation in the dams ai the
weekends. The resolution passed unani-
mously, thus ending the official duties of
?he 1975-76 SGA Legislature.
m
state law in North Carolina which prohibits
state employees from joining a union, and
teachers at all public schools including
state suppated universities are considered
state employees.
"Our immediate goal is fa a collective
bargaining law from the federal govern-
ment. Either we want a new law a we want
to take the state law to court said
McKeany.
"We want teachers to have mae
freedan in the classroom, to have input
into the subjects taught and the materials
used. We want the non-professional
educatas (trustees, administratas, etc.)
out of the classroom.
"By giving the teachers better con-
ditiois and mae freedan we are freeing
them of financial waries which prevent
them fran teaching 100 percent effective-
ly. AFT is a definite benefit fa education
because it allows the teacher to be free to
teach and therefae do a better job said
McKeany.
"In ader to get better ccnditiais,
better salaries, and no discrimination we
must have collective bargaining
Prof. Donald Lawler of the English
department asked McKeany where the
AFT stood on the differences among
various schools within the same system
regarding salaries and benefits of faculty
members. An example used was UNC-
Chapel Hill and ECU.
McKeany said that the money should
be distributed equally when allocated by
the N.C. Legislature which is not the case
now.
"We want to be sure the money goes
where the legislature says it should go.
Somewhere someone is skimming the
money off the top and spending it to
increase salaries and benefits before
distributing the remainder to the other
schools. We want this stopped said
McKeany.
" I n ader fa any changes to be made it
must be done through collective bargaining
contracts he continued.
The AFT does not suppat agency
shops said McKeany in response to a
question if everyone had to join a union. An
agency shop is where a teacher must pay
dues but is not a member of the union.
"Our collective bargaining contracts
would represent non-members as well
said McKeany.
Another professa asks why the dues,
$84.00 annually, were so high. McKeany
replied that they were necessary becaust
of the benefits of it. Of the monthly dues
of $7.0?, $2.64 goes to the national office,

11 Council seeks to reduce infant mortality
ByKENCARPUNKY
Staff Writer
North Carolina ranks number 46 in the
prevention of infant mortality among the 50
states. This means only four states have
higher rates of infant mortality.
The North Carolina Perinatal Council is
trying to reduce these high infant mortality
rates, according to Mrs. Therese Lawler.
who was named to the council last month.
"The prime function of the council is to
get rid of the morbidity of high risk
pregnancies said Lawler. who is also an
associate professor in the ECU School of
Nursing.
' The council istrying to oui'd a support
system to give intensive omprehensive
care to combat difficulties In pregnancies
that arise. This includes buying equip-
ment, developing transport systems, and
possibly absorbing the cost of some patient
care
Several medical and socio-economic
variables can indicate a pregnancy risk,
according to Lawler.
For example, previous pregnancy loss,
illegitimacy, inadequate income, maternal
depletion (having too many children in a
short period of time), and poor nutrition
can all contribute to potential infant
mortality, said Lawler.
North Carolina also has an exceptional
amount of premature births, according to
Lawler.
This is the second year o (
experimental program and it is beginnrc
to do well said Lawler.
"It takes a while to get a system go
We hooe doctors will jeventuai'y cal
refer patients to us after noting a possible
pregnancy risk
According to Lawler, the program is
state funded and has a budget of over
$500,000 this year.
Lawler is the only member of the
council from Eastern North Carolina. The
other members are physicians, nurses, and
other allied health people, according to
Lawler.
"The nationally known perinatal teams
from Duke and Chapel Hill are also on the
council said Lawler.
UNION
Continued from page 2.
$2.00 to the state office and $2.35 to the
local group.
The dues cover the cost of an automatic
life insurance policy in an accidental death
and a $500,000 occupational liability policy.
The AFT also has a legal contingency fund
and sponsors lobbyists in Washington and
various state capitols.
"An example of the use of lobbyists
was seen last week when the N.C.
legislatures voted on a raise for state
teachers. The first vote of the committee
was in fava of the 4 percent plus $300 cost
of living increase. NCAE asked for a 16
percent raise. AFT wanted a straight
across the board cost of living increase of
$1700 explained McKeany.
"When the second vote was taken in
committee it was 15-12 in favor of
mandating the 4 percent increase for all
faculty. The reason for the change was
because of lobbying by myself and the
AFL-CIA lobbyist. Although we lost in
committee we still have a chance to beat it
on the floor said McKeany.
Another question was who would be
paying for the additional benefits and the
increased salaries, would students have to
pay an increased tuition.
"The AFT feels that a free education
should be available to everyone therefore
we try to keep tuition low as possible.
Whenever we introduce a pay increase we
always include various ways the state can
get the money such as removing the ceiling
from state taxes. In no way do we want
tuition to be raised said McKeany.
Whenever talk of unions and collective
bargaining arises so does the possibility of
a strike. McKeany was asked to comment
on this.
"The AFT has been involved with
strikes in the past but so has the other
educational organizations. In 1973-74 of all
the strikes by teachers, about one third
involved AFT, the other 67 percent were
backed by NAE and AAUP.
"We were involved in the recent
teachers strike in Pittsburg. The strike was
caused by an inexperienced board of ?
education which did not know that putting
teachers in jail would only agitate matters
not stop them.
"The strike forced negotiations with
the board of education and resulted in
improved educational benefits. We feel
that the negotiations could have been
conducted without the strike had the board
been experienced in handling problems
Dr. Dowell stated that on many
campuses the administration has express-
ed opposition to the formation of the union
Dowell said the administration at ECU was
not opposed to such an organization.
Chancellor Leo Jenkins stated in a
telephone interview that "the faculty have
a perfect right to pursue membership in
the AFt and it is faculty business
Greenville's first great bicycle tour set for May 24

Unspent $$
A close study of the SGA budget printed in the May 11th
Fountainhead will show why the SGA ends up with such large sums
of unspent money in its budget at the end of each year.
Total appropriated but unspent funds in that May 2nd budget
report totaled a whopping $108,751.22. That is the total amount of
student money left sitting around in various SGA funded
organization budgets.
These unspent funds will revert to the SGA treasury July 1 and
will become a "surplus
If those funds were available now the SGA could spend them
this year and benefit the people who paid in that money-this year's
students.
But, the money is tied up in different organizational budgets
and will not be returned to the SGA till July 1, so next year's
students will get the benefits from this year's student activity fees.
The fault for thiscarry over for funds does not lie with the SGA,
but rather with the SGA funded organizations that requested the
money.
By asking for this money and then not spending it, some
organizations have kept the SGA from having free use of this
money during the school year.
Some of this large amount of unspent money will be used by the
end of the fiscal year June 30th. Fountainhead will have only about
$2,000 left after May 30th and the Buccaneer has most of its funds
left to pay for future printing. Others also have projects to fund in
May and June, but still oome July 1, thousands of dollars, that
were requested but not spent, go back to the SGA.
Those are funds collected this year that students expected to be
spent but which weren't.
The SGA should look closely at this next year when budget time
rolls around and budget clubs and organizations only as much
money as they spent the previous year unless good cause can be
shown to increase that budget. A group that got $25,000 this year
and spent only $10,000 should get only $10,000 next year. No need
to tie that money up in clubs' budgets when the SGA's general
fund could use it.
It would be better to force campus organizations to have to
return at mid-year to seek additional budget requests instead of
granting those clubs huge sums of money that will revert later.
The SGA uould also instigate a mid-year budget review of all
organizations to insure they are really using all those funds they
received. If an organization has spent only 25 percent of its budget
at mid-year and can't show great justification, the SGA should take
back some of those unspent funds.
At issue is all the money that will come back into the SGA July
1.
It was money collected this year and we think it should be spent
this year.
If the SGA does not need all that much money, then student
fees should be cut.
The principle of a balanced budget works both ways. You can't
spend what you don't have, but then you should spend most of
what you do have.
Were tt left to me to decide whether we should have a go
newspapers, or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a

Cash no good at ECU
There was once a time when you had to pay strictly cash for
most anything. Checks were not accepted.
Well, good old ECU has completely reversed that old
philosophy and today will not accept cash.
In a flyer advertising an off-campus graduate school course at
Havelock, tuition must be paid by check or money order. Cash is
not acceptable, according to the information brochure.
While the reasoning behind seeking only checks or money
orders is probably justifiable, it is still quite humorous that the
economic situation has gone full circle from cash instead of checks
to checks instead of cash.
This new attitude could lead to the creation of a new slogan for
signs over the counters at the old oountry store. The new slogan
would read "In God we trust, others use checks
Yearbook nudes
The editor of a student yearbook at a college in Colorado has
been catching flack lately due to the 11 photos of nude men and
women students published in the college yearbook.
The editor contended he was only trying to depict campus life
and the photos were appropriate for that purpose.
We are going to try and get a copy of this "pornographic"
yearbook and send it to our good friends at the Goldsboro paper
who head up the S.O.S. (Stamp Out Smut) committee in Eastern
N.C. After they reacted so strongly to this paper's April 1 edition,
we are sure they will go absolutely wild over a yearbook with 11
nudephotos. Hopefully the Goldsboro paper has enough influenoe
in Colorado to get everyone who waked on that shameful yearbook
barred from any type employment there.

Injured worker seeks accident compensation
ByJACKSON HARRILL
Assistant News Edita
An ECU student is seeking wakmen's
canpensatiai fran the University and the
SGA fa injuries received in an accident en
September 10, 1974.
Whitey Martin received injuries while
unloading SGA student-rented refrig-
eratasoi the mall, in the Fall of 1974, and
is now taking action against ECU to claim
wakmen's compensation.
The N.C. Industrial Commission, which
decides the amount of wakmen's can-
pensatiai to be paid and the lawyer's
percentage, is also determining who is
Martin's employers. According to Mickey
Herrin, Martin's lawyer, theConmissionis
also deciding if the benefits can be paid.
At a nearing called by the Commission
on May 6, SGA President Tim Sullivan
called fa a delay until the SGA could
obtain legal counsel.
At present, the SGA is represented by
the University's lawyer, according to
Sullivan. If Martin were to win the case,
ECU, despite whether a not it was the
University'sa SGA's fault, would pay with
SGA funds.
"The SGA is not conceding responsi-
bility fa the accident Sullivan said.
"We'll let the courts decide that.
The accident occurred over a year and
a half ago and something should have been
done in the meantime aocading to
Sullivan. "Assoon as the new SGA officers
came in, it fell in our laps. Maybe it
would've been easier fa us if we'd gaie
alaig, but there's too much at stake
concerning student fees, student responsi-
bility and student safety.
"Anybody who is injured dang wak

Yearbook receives award
By JACK SON HARRILL
Assistant News Edita
The 1975 BUCCANEER, ECU's student
yearbook, has been presented with an
award fa "outstanding contributions to
yearbook journalism" by American Year-
book Company, publishers of the book.
American publishes 13.000 yearbooks
(4 12 million copies) fa high schools and
colleges across the country, accading to
Terry Maultsby, company representative.
In accepting the award, Monika
Sutherland, oo-edita of the 1975 and edita
of the 1976 BUCCANEER, said, "In my
opinion, this award is maeimpatant then
the awards given by the critiquing
services, oecause this award is given by
the publisher, and it represents the
outstanding books which that company
publishes. The aitiquing service awards
go only to books which are submitted.
Each year a panel of judges rates the
books accading to company standards,
and about 500 awards are presented. Two
awards were given in Nath Carolina: to
ECU'S BUCCANEER and Orange High
School s publication, in Hillsbaough.
The local chapter of the Auxiliary to the American Postal Wakers Union spaisaed a
hot dog sale on Saturday, May 1,1976, at the Harris Supermarket on Memaial Drive. In
spite of bad weather, the Auxiliary had a good business. The proceeds from the sale are
being donated to the Nath Carolina Zoological Society to help in the construction of the
Nath Carolina Zoo in Ashebao. Mrs Wanda Wiseman, State President of the North
Carolina Auxiliary to APWU and President of the local Greenville chapter, made the
arrangements fa the sale. Other local members of the Union and the Auxiliary
participating in the sale were Ray and Sybil Hardee, Ruel and Judy Stancill, Pat and Joe

Fountainhead earns
$30,000 in ad revenue
Ad sales for Fountainhead for the
printing year which ends with Wednes-
day' s paper are almost double sales for the
same time period last year, according to
Fountainhead editor Mike Taylor.
Ad sales, protected through the final
paper Wednesday, are expected to surpass
$27,000, Taylor predicted. Another
$2200.00 has been canned through the sale
of old equipment bringing total revenue of
over $29,200 for the past nine months.
"That would put this year's sales
double what was sold last year Tayla
contended.
But, Taylor also pointed to higher
operating expenses for the paper which
will wipe out any gains made towards
making the paper financially self-
sufficient. The paper is currently funded
through the Student Government Associ-
ation with student fees.
Total budget expenses for the paper
this printing year, which runs from Sept
1975 til May, 1976, will run slightly over
$85,000, Taylor pointed out. This includes
appropriations of about $65,000 this year
from the Legislature and $20,000 in
carryover funds from previous years.
A large slice of the budget, a record
spending mark for the paper, went to cover
printing oosts, Taylor noted. Approximate-
ly $40,000 or about 45 percent of the total
budget went to cover oost of printing.
Taylor pointed to the expanded size of
the paper this year as one reason printing
oosts for the paper doubled from last year's
printing bill.
"The paper averaged over 22 pages an
issue this year. Last year the paper only
averaged about 14 pages an issue. The
expanded oost pushed printing up Tayla
explained.
Higher oost in the printing industry also
faced the printing bill up, Tayla added.
After printing oost, salaries to students
took about $27,000 a 31 percent of the
taal budget, according to Tayla.
Additional personnel and pay raises of
approximately 10 percent at the start of the
year pushed payroll up from last year's
taal, Tayla pointed out.
Supply purchases took over $5100 a
about 6 percent of the budget while outside
laba oost and equipment purchases both
took 4.8 of the budget-Anaha 4.2 pacent
went to equipment rentals and 3.6 pacent
tooova travel oost.
Taal oost pa issue was placed at
approximately $1400.00 with total ad
revenue pa issue at $450.00 by Tayla.
"When you take into oonsidaation the
oost a the papa minus the taal ad sales,
the papa oost the SGA about $56,000. A
'subscription' fa a student oosts about
$5.50 fa the year Tayla explained.
Tayla pointed out that ad sales fa the
papa go back into the SGA's General
Fund.
So far approximately $18,000 in ad
sales has been collected and Tayla
predicted most of the remaining $9000
would be in hand by mid- dimmer.
"Overall I am pleased with the budget
situation this year advatising-wise, we -
had a great year, thanks mainly to the
efforts of Ad Managa Mike Thanpson. I
told him at the start of the year I wanted us
to expand our advertising sales to provide
students with more ad infamatioi. And,
with our sales up 200 paoent from last year
he has obviously done an outstanding job
Tayla explained.
Tayla pointed out that thae wae
sevaal items in this past year's budget
that oould be trimmed from next year's
budget that oould cut costs.
"This year we spent money on
equipment rental and equipment purchase
fa machinery. This machinery will be here
next year owned by the paper at no oost so
as much as $10,000 spent this year will na
be necessary next year Tayla naed.
Budget-wise, taal appropriations fa the
paper should go down some, Taylor
predicted.
"Of course you can't tell how much
printing will cost, that is one area subject
to quick inaeases Tayla warned.
"One thing that everyone should
understand is that printing a papa is an
expensive business. It represents a big loss
to the SGA but it is well worth the cost
Tayla concluded.

SGA, Greenville plan bike pathway system
By LARRY ZI CHE RM AN
Staff Writer
In a move i unprecedented in N.C, the
City of Greenville and the ECU Student
Government Association (SGA) have
joined forces to fund a new bike pathway
project to serve both the city and the
university.
The city and the SGA have each
appropriated $12,000 as matching funds
for a federal grant application which, if
approved, would return $96,000 of federal
highway funds, to make a total of $120,000
for bikeway construction.
Curtis Yates, bicycle coordinator of the
N.C. Department of Transportation, said,
"normally a federal grant of this type is
very difficult to get, but ECU'S involve-
ment and the city's previous efforts should
be a great help He emphasized that
applications are reviewed with originality
in mind, and that strong community
involvement and prior efforts count
heavily.
Greenville Mayor Percy R. Cox said
that since the bicycle project was brought
before the City Council in April, 1973, he
was in favor of some sort of viable bikeway
system for Greenville.
Mayor Cox noted that although Green-
ville hasa bikeway plan which was adopted
Feb. 25,1974 it appeared that signs were
put up any place, with no regular bicycle
routes. One of the first things I wanted to
do as mayor was to establish a system of
bona fide routes for Greenville and ECU
City council woman Mildred T. Mc-
Grath said that the $12,000 for bikeways
was in the Greenville budget! for 1975-76,
but that Mayor Cox suggested it be held
up, rather than using it haphazardly for
signs and paint under the old system. She
noted that one of the prime factors in the
city's renewed interest in bicycles and
bicycle safety was the change in adminis-
tration.
John Schofield, Greenville City Plan-
ner, said that there have been two deaths
and several serious injuries due to
car-bicycle accidents in the past 15 months
He noted that this has prompted much
citizen concern about bicycle safety.
Schofield said that bike-involved accidents
are up sharply, and that most accidents are
at intersections. He said that the inter-
section of Fifth St. and Reade St. has had
the most accidents.
Schofield pointed out that Greenville
was the first municipality in N.C. to have
adopted a bikeway system plan and have it
approved in the N.C. Department of
Transportation.
Yates said, "Greenville has seemingly
done more quietly by itself, for itself than
almost any other town in N.C, " in terms
of bicycles and bicycle safety.
Greg Pingston, SGA Vice-President,
said that students were very concerned
about having a safe place to ride around
campus and around Greenville. He said
that when the proposal for appropriation of
$12,000 was presented to the SGA
Legislature, it was understood that the
proposed bikeway would link the main
campus with the Allied Health and the
athletic complexes, as well as other areas
around Greenville of interest to ECU
students.
The proposed Bikeway Demonstration
Project would consist almost entirely of
Class I f aci I it ies. These are paths which are
separate and distinct roadways and are
closed to motorized vehicles and pedes-
trians.
The Bikeway would begin at Evans
Park on Arlington Blvd. Construction of
this segment of Arlington Blvd. and its
accompanying bikeway is slated to begin
this summer.
The Bikeway would leave Arlington
Blvd at Green Mill Run, which it would
parallel to 14th Street, crossing Evans St.
and S. Charles St.
At 14th St it would pick up the
University's unused railroad spur to 10th
St. After crossing 10th St the Bikeway
would enter campus beside Umstead
Dorm. It would then continue through
campus utilizing both Class I and Class 2
facilities. Class 2 facilities are shared
pathways, in the form of sidewalks, or
laned-off roadway.
In December, 1975, Mayor Cox asked
Dr. James E. Hix, Jr of the ECU
Chemistry Department, to head a commit-
tee to advise the city on bicycle-related
matters, saying that he "trusted Hix's
judgement and the ability in this area
Mayor Cox has proclaimed May 24-30
as Greenville Bicycle Safety Week. In an
attempt to call attention to the City of
Greenville and ECU'S joint effort to
promote the bicycle as an alternate form of
transportation and to promote the con-
struction of Class I bikeways in the interest
of bicycle safety, the Greenville Bicycle
Safety Committee is sponsoring a short
bicycle tour of Greenville and ECU.
The tour will take place Monday, May
24, at 1000 a.m starting at Five Points
(Fifth St. and Evans St.). Several top city
and university officials are participating in
the tour, and all interested persons are
invited to ride.

Social service officials explain requirements
Students qualify for food stamps
By DIANE TAYLOR
Special to Fountainhead
Low inoome students who are North
Carolina residents and are not tax
dependents of their parents may be eligible
for the Federal Food Stamp Program.
The program, which is authorized by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, is designed to subsidize food
budgets of low inoome households, said
Mrs. Betty Rouse, supervisor of the Food
Stamp Center for Pitt County.
"We merely administer the food
stamps in this oounty Miss Dorothy L.
Bolton, director of Social Services here,
said. "Every county in the country has
basically the same program and stand-
ards
The Pitt County Department of Social
Services at 709 Johnston St. currently
allots food stamp ooupons to 9,469 persons,
according to Rouse. There are 200 student
households receiving coupons, she said.
To receive the stamps a resident of the
state must apply in the oounty in which he
a she lives. If the applicant meets the
criteria set up by the Department of
Agriculture, he or she becomes oertified
fa the program.
"I I ike to see student son food stamps if
they are eligible because someday they are
going to be taxpayers too Bolton said if
we can help them get through school and
find a job, I think it is good
To qualify for food stamps the
maximum net inoome of a single occupant
household can be $215 per month,
according to the January 1, 1976 federal
standards.
Once application has been made the
Oepartment of Social Services legally has
30 days to respond. However, if the
applicant provides all the necessary
information upon application, certification
of eligibility may be made the same day.
Rouse explained the information need-
ed by all applicants:
Inoome. If the student works then pay
stubs for a period of one month must be
presented. If the student receives any
scholarships or loans, official letters
stating the amount and what it is to pay for
are required.
Inoome also includes any veterans,
Social Security, Blue Cross, etc. benefits
and any aid from parents. These must be
verified.
Housing. If the student lives on
campus, he or she should provide rent and
utility bills. These expenses win be
deducted from the total income. College
tuition fees are also deducted.
Facilities. If the student lives in the
dormitory, he or she must prove access to
oooking facilities. A refrigerator and hot
plate in the room will qualify.
Household. If more than one person is
living in the house a dorm room, they
must be included in the household and
their inoome will be added to the total. An
exception to this is if the applicant can
prove that all purchasing, storage, prepar-
ation and consumption of food is kept
separate.
Dependency. A tax dependency form is
sent to the student's parents unless proof
that the parents do not daim the applicant
on their inoome tax is presented.
If the applicant meets all other criteria
but is still a tax dependent they are
eligible.
Students are oertified on a three month
basis, said Rouse. They must reapply at
the end of each quarter.
Since food stamp ooupons are designed
to aid in the purchase of food only they may
not be used to purchase non-food items
such as soaps, paper products, cigarettes
or alcoholic beverages.
Once a student has been oertified, the
ooupon allotment per household remains
the same. However, the purchase price of
the coupons may vary each month
aocording to net inoome, Rouse said.
For example, a person with a monthly
net inoome of $100 must pay $18 to get $50
of stamps said Rouse. "But a person
with a net income of $210 would have to
pay $40 to get $50 of stamps
If monthly expenses increase or de-
crease the price of stamps will change
accordingly.
Mrs. Dale Verzaal whose husband is an
ECU qraduate student, said the cost of her
stamps has changed every month.
"One month they oost us $38, the next
$18. The average is about $20 a month,
depending on the bills she said.
Mrs. Verzaal, vho is expecting her
third child provides the only family inoome.
"We oouldn't afford to eat without
them (Food stamps) Verzaal said. "We
don't eat extravagantly but we do eat
better than macaroni and cheese every
night
Verzaal said the food stamps enoour-
aged more oooking at home and fewer trips
to fast food restaurants.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Tippett have
been receiving food stamps since March
1976 when his Gl Bill ran out.
"We're eating a whole lot better than
when he had the Gl Bill said Marty
Tippett. "When you have money you tend
to spend it on other things, but with stamps
you have to use them for food only
"I think we'reaii a lot healthier she
said.
The Food Stamp Program is 75 percent
federally funded, 1212 percent state, and
1212 percent oounty funded, aocording to
Bolton.
Coupon allotments, purchase require-
ments, and inoome standards are revised
every six months by the Department of
Agriculture. But, Rouse said they general-
ly change very little.
Survey shows the junkfood junkie lives
Nutritionists everywhere are probably
not at all surprised by the success of a
record by Larry Grooe called "Junkfood
Junkie After all, America's young people
- who are the world's leading reoord-
buyers - consume more soda pop, candy
bars, cookies and other sugary snack foods
than anyone else.
"Junkfood Junkie which chronicles
the secret cravings of a health food fettish
fa unnutritious, highly processed food, is
a song with which hundreds of thousands
of youths can identify. For although
society's children today purpat to have a
new consciousness about what they eat,
their thoughts apparently have not yet
connected with their sweet tooths.
At every Los Angeles junia and senia
high school campus stae, fa example, the
largest-selling item is candy. In the last
school year, Los Angeles students spent
$1.43 million on candy sold on school
premises.
Off campus, students often congregate
at local fast-food eateries that sell
hundreds of hamburgers, French fries and
soft drinks hourly. The food is appealing
because it's relatively inexpensive, but its
nutritional value has been questioned by
many dieticians.
Mary Ferguson, supervisa of home
economics programs fa Los Angeles'
secondary schools, is harified that candy
is sold on campus, but she says there are
better ways to deal with the problem than
to ban it outright, as some have suggested.
"I think it's dreadful explains Mrs.
Ferguson "But you can't face the kids.
You must educate them
The profits from those school candy
salesare put to good use - buying band
and drill team unifams and athletic
equipment. And thus, administratas are
hesitant to ban candy sales from campus.
"I'd like to eliminate the candy, but I
don't want to eliminate the funds says
Kathleen Brown Rice, a member of the Los
Angeles school board and sister of
CalifaniaGoverna Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
"I'm torn. I've become part of the
capitalist insanity
That logic, however, outrages some
health experts, including Dr. Louis A.
Sapaito, spokesman fa the American
Dental Association.
Every parent a parent-teacher group
wants its school to have the finest
equipment, resource materials, and so
fath oxitends Dr. Sapaito. "Schools
are often hard pressed to find the funds to
purchase what they should have. All of us,
as citizens, need to be sympathetically
alert to that need and be responsive in
meeting it.
"When all is said and done, however, it
is hardly defensible edcuational policy to
temptachildtorothisteethinaderfa his
school to have mae athletic equipment a
better band unifams
Vending machines, which are now
fixtures en thousands of college and high
school campuses, have also been aiticized
fa the junk foods they dispense. About 80
per cent of all the items sold in these
machines are low in vitamins, minerals and
protein - including soda pop, coffee, candy
bars and chewing gun.
Executives of vending madvne com-
panies maintain, however, that they're
only giving the ocsumer what he wants.
They stock the machines with what sells,
which is, too often, junk food.
Our company, ARA Food Services Co
whose vending machines are on the UCLA
campus and dozens of other schools, is
about to try something healthy. Their
machines will soon be stocked with a new
line of health food sandwiches, consisting
of meat, cheese, avocado and alfalfa
sprouts.
Otha vendas, however, say they've
offered such items but students simply
didn't buy them.
The Servomatiai Cap the largest
food-vending company in Southern
Califania, sells mae than seven million
sandwiches every day. But it claims that
the profit margin on the sandwiches is very
small, and the company makes most of its
money from candy and soft drinks.
The federal government used to
regulate vending machines in schools, but
that reponsibility has now been passed on
to state governments and local school
boards.
In a few cities Washington, D.C
Blcomington, Ind and Dallas the
so-called junk foods have been banned
from school vending machines.

Teacher's union aims to protect members
An organizational meeting of the
American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
was held on Thursday afternoon in
Mendenhall Student Center on the ECU
campus.
Phil McKeany, state representative of
the national teacher's union, was present
to lead the meeting and to answer
questions posed by the more than thirty
members present.
The American Federation of Teachers
is a professional organization whose
purpose, according to Paul Dowell, Pro-
fessor of English and one of the organizers
of the ECU local, is to "promote the
welfare of professor, student, and univer-
sity alike. We're all interested in salaries,
of course Professor Dowell said. "But
beyond that is the problem of providing the
most favorable atmosphere possible for
learning. That's what we hope the AFT will
help us do
The American Federation of Teachers
draws much of its strength from its grass
roots association with the AFL-CIA. "The
vast resources and lobbying clout with
governmental agencies and officials make
the AFL-C.O an indispensable ally in
JUNK
Continued from page 8.
Wise has gone a step further and
removed the machines altogether.
Burlington's high school had a dozen
machines, which dispensed sandwiches,
ice cream, milk, candy, soft drinks and
other snacks. The school received a net
profit of 10 to 15 per cent on most items,
but Supt. R.M. Sorenson said, "It's just
not right to make a profit by encouraging
improper eating habits
Students in Burlington originally pro-
tested the schools' taking any action
against the vending machines. But that
dormy student reaction has ebbed, and
more hot lunches are now being served in
the schools.
Similar protests have subsided in
Dallas, where this school year, candy and
soft drinks in the vending machines were
replaced by milk, fruit and nuts.
Despite the unhappiness of some
students, many government leaders - both
national and local - believe that the eating
habits of young people must be improved.
When Sen. George McGovern wrote an
introduction to a new staff report of the
Senate Select Committee on Nutrition, he
proclaimed nutrition to be the nation's No.
1 health problem.
"The threat is not beriberi, pellagra or
scurvy wrote McGovern. "Rather, we
face the more subtle, but also more deadly,
reality of millions of Americans loading
their stomachs with food which is likely to
make them obese, to give them high blood
pressure, to induce heart disease, diabetes
and cancer - in short, to kill them over the
long term.
"We face the tragedy of anemic
children failing in school and repeating
that pattern of failure throughout their
shortened life he added.
Yale women bare problems
(CPS)-What do you say to nineteen

Yale physical education director Joni
Barnett was faced with that problem early
in March when part of the Yale women's
rowing team stripped in her office in
protest of the lack of shower facilities.
The nude crew members, dressed for
the occasion with only the words "Title IX
painted on their backs and chests in
Yale-blue paint, stood at attention while
team captain Chris Ernst read a prepared
statement.
"These are the bodies Yale is exploit-
ing Ernst told Barnett. "On a day like

The women's crew has been forced to
use four crowded showers in a rented
trailer for the past two years, according to
team members. Barnett has ignored all
requests for improved facilities, they
claim.

Paul McCartney at V
Paul McCartney and Wings
Capital Centre - Largo, Maryland
Saturday, May 15, 1976
By BRANDON TISE
Entertainment Editor
Paul McCartney's return to United
States' stages after an absence of ten years
revealed the musician, the showman, and
the rin obviously happy to be that way.
Omr .resent along with the music was that
famous smile and face relatively un-
changed from the one we remember on the
Ed Sullivan Snow in 1964.
As much as McCartney seems to be
trying to make Wings not just a "Paul
McCartney and type backup group, it
was obvious that only long time Wings
member, Denny Laine, could nearly
approximate McCartney's musical level.
The quality of musicianship that surround-
ed McCartney, with the exception of Denny
Laine, was at best uninspired. Paradoxical
as it may seem for such an excellent
concert, the lead guitarwork, drumming,
and keyboards (when not played by Paul)
were all too forgettable. The weight - and
rightly so, I suppose - rested on
McCartney himself, and because he
carried it so beautifully, the oonoert was a
smashing success.
In sharp contrast with George Harri-
son's aloof presence at his Capital Centre
concert in late 1974, McCartney was
constantly pointing out to people in the
audience, smiling and joking with them
and quite obviously enjoying his return to
stage. The audience, which was a complete
sell out crowd, was packed to the rafters
and McCartney's appearance on stage was
greeted with a literal deafening roar of
applause, shouts, and a tremendous sigh of
relief by many in the audience who were
having a long standing desire fulfilled by
seeing him on stage.
Though Beatlemania has been long
dormant, there actually were girls on the
floor pushing their way forward with cries
of "Paul, Paul hoping for a look or
smile their way, still enmeshed in
adolescent fantasy. McCartney w
acknowledged his Beatle past with f
songs, all done with almost a respectful
about them. Again this was in gn
contrast with Harrison's self-mocki
treatment of his Beatles' songs wh
occurred in 1974.
McCartney played only one song fn
hisMcCARTNEYalbum, none from R
or WILDFIRE, only one from RED RO
SPEEDWAY, four from BAND ON t
RUN, four from his newest album A T T,
SPEED OF SOUND, and relied m
heavily on last summer's VENUS A,

the rest of the night however,
rtney and Co. were determined to
rock, and that they most certainty did. A
barrage of rockers were thrown out like
"LettingGo "Medidne Jar "Magneto
and Titanium Man "Let Em In
and most notably "Time to Hide" and
"Beware My Love" from AT THE SPEED
OF SOUND album. They brought the tone
down to dose the regular show with " Band
On the Run" from the album of the same
name. The entire last sedion of rockers
was a non-ending stream of music fdlowed
by roaring applause fdlowed by more
music and more applause and so on with
each song increasing the frantic element of
the applause a little more.
When Wings left the stage after Band
On the Run the applause level was
beyond that of ear distortion. Returning to
stage to answer the crowd's pleas,
McCartney took special note of how
fantastic the Capital Centre crowd had
been and then gave a two song encore
which induded "Hi, Hi, Hi After this he
said, "We'll see you next time around"
and left arm in arm with Linda.
Probably the highlight of the entire
show was McCartney's most virtuostic
instrument - his vdce. Again contrasting
with Harrison's weak, tired, worn-out vdce
of the 1974 tour, McCartney's was in peak
shape and he used it to its fullest capadty
living up to and surpassing concert v sal
expedions. It was dear that the showman
side of McCartney was still very much alive
with all of his playful catering to crowd
response and equally as dear that Wings is
still "Paul McCartney and his band
Almost the entire show revdved around his
every move which pointed out Wings to
really just be a backup band type situation
but the greatest enjoyment and satisfadion
for the overflow crowd who had come to see
one of rock's alltime greats was that he did
not try to hide within a band and give a low
key stage presence. Rather he grabbed up
the crowd from the very beginning and
took them for a musical ride that could
eave no one asking for a better
performance.

S
Director Roeg's genius reemerges
By LARRY S. SLAUGHTER
The Man Who Fell to Earth, a new film
release starring David Bowie, will seize the
theatre circuit this summer. The science
fiction epic will reveal yet another feature
of the remarkable Bowie personality in his
first dramatic role. The film will be
distributed by Cinema 5 in the United
States. The Man Who Fell to Earth has
already provoked very flattering criticism
from British critics. Lines of artistic
comparison have been drawn to Clockwork
Orange and 2001 by several critics
although some have remarked that Man
Who Fell to Earth's thematic intentions are
far more deep and twisty than the Kubrick
efforts. The film, shot during the summer
of 1975 in New Mexico, will co-star Candy
Clark (of American Graffitti fame), Rip
Torn and Buck Henry and will illuminate
the creative lenses of Antony Richmond
and Steve Shapiro. More importantly, The
Man Who Fell to Earth will establish
Britain's Nicdas Roeg as one of the more
talented visionaries of the cinematic world,
displaying his profound genius as a
director for possibly his first big commer-
cial success.
Roeg's profile dates back to his earlier
efforts as a cinematographer for Lawrence
of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and Darling. Not
until 1968 did Roeg get his first opportunity
to direct the flamboyant Performance.
Although a favorite of cultish filmgoers,
Performance died at the box-office due to
its poor distribution, an X rating and its
unconventional and quasi-mystical over-
tones. Performance, however, was the only
film to authentically render the psychedelic
drug experience without falling into the
mire of kitsch. Roeg's subsequent film,
Walkabout (1971), also succeeded artisti
cally but unfortunately slept at the box
office. Roeg's most striking effort, Don't
Look Now (1973), failed commercially to
another less honorable occult feature of
that year, The Exorcist. Whereas The
Exorcist dealt with the supernatural on a
juvenile and sensational level, Roeg's
Don't Look Now oeprated in a phenomeo-
logical fashion as an acute speculation on
levels of perception and reality. It remains
the most beautift d sophisticated horror
film to date. Each me of Don't Look Now
is an abyss of intricate mystery and
psychedelic terror. But even the finely
crafted performances of Donald Sutherland
ROEG DIRECTS BOWIE
and Julie Christie as a frightened vogue
couple trapped in three dimensional space
and time could not save Don't Look Now
from overdosing the average aisle-sitter
who had come for a simple scare show.
Several thematic trends are peculiar to
Roeg's vision. All of his films concern
psychological man and his involvement
with out-of-the-ordinary experience.
Roeg's celluloid creations climax in varying
spiritual transformations. In Performance,
Chas(James Fox), a small-time hood, finds
his world-view extremely altered by the
mystical and postoonventional affections of
the ambisexual Turner (Mick Jagger). The
film merges genres, past, present and
future, sexual identities and creates a
visionary reality where all experience is
one. Chas' final performance is his killing
of Turner to achieve spiritual fusion with
the other. Roeg portrays this seeming
violence as an ecstatic act of love.
Walkabout finds two children stranded on
the Aborigine outback. These children
come to represent all persons who are
forced intoa new experimental reality. The
film holds the same disturbing visual
quality of Performance and culminates
similarly in an act of ecstatic violence
which is portrayed as a consciousness
expanding event.
In Don't Look Now, the acceptance of a
new reality is also realized by Donald
Sutherland only until he meets his
red-caped murderer. Don't Look Now
shared the theme of cosmic awareness that
permeated Roeg's previous efforts but was
pessimistically undermined. The universe
suggested in Performance and Walkabout
provoked an examination of human values.
Don't Lnk Now regarded human values as
insignil.ant to the workings of synchroni-
city and fate in a universe of radical evil.
Roeg's fascination with the odor motif
dates back to his collaboration with
Francois Truffaut on Farenheit 451 1966.
In Performance, Roeg extended his
symbolic affect ion for the cdor red into the
uncompromising violence of that contro-
versial movie. Roeg's use of the red motif
in Don't Look Now was so intricately
patterned into the dark terra of that film
that fragmented symbol seekers were
frightened by red raincoats, dwarves and
even stoplights, carrying their fright out of
the theatre with them.
Commoi to all Roeg ventures is his
ability to move the viewer into the
acquisition and use of new modes of
perception. Image fragments constantly
resurface in Roeg's films; we begin to look
fa key patterns in such repetitions. We are
led to the assimilation of similarities and
contrasts in the auditory and visual
elements of his films. Such active
participation is necessary to grasp Roeg's
vision. Fa example, the skill of interpret-
ing non-adinary reality in Don't Look Now
was a matter of life and death.
Roeg aafts his waks with an insistence
on detail; he arranges each element as
carefully as one places the tiles in a
cathedral mosaic. Such preoccupation
with detail lends his films a subliminal
quality. Consequently, a film such as Don't
Look Now demands more than one
viewing.
The Man Who Fell to Earth is Roeg's
most ambitious wak to date. It chronicles
estraterrestrial 'Thomas Jerome Newton's
(David Bowie) fall to a oarupted planet
Earth. Newton's mission on Earth is to
return to his native Andrea with an ample
water supply. His stay on Earth, however,
finds him captive to a huge capaatioi, a
full-time lover (Candy Clark) and an
unhealthy affection fa alcohol. Variety
spoke of the film as elabaate and tagged
Roeg "as one of the maja talents of this
part of the wald Variety added that
Bowie has been so perfectly cast as
Newton that it will be difficult to
dissociate him from the role in future
films. The film will reveal elabaate sets
dating fron the streamlined era of the
Fifties to the slick electronics of the
seventies. The lush musical score is
attributed to composer Bowie and musical
directa John Philips. RCA will release the
soundtrack in the immediate future.
Bowie remarked, "I'd like to see the
film do well and make a lot of money,
especially fa Nick (Roeg). I'd like to see
him get a bigger audience. He deserves it.
Rocq had that - what would you call it -
visionlike not many. Maybe Truffaut.
My character in the film is essential man,
man in his pure fam who's brought down
by the oaruptiai around him. It's the stay
of a man who falls in love and becomes an
alcoholic. (Bowie laughs). No, it's not quite
that simple
The Man Who Fell to Earth will reveal
Roeg still absabed in the intricacies of
human reality and those questions left
unanswered by our limited capacities to
perceive the wald in which we exist. Roeg
will probably continue his trend to only
suggest answers to metaphysical specu-
lations and the ambiguities of the human
condition. Indeed, Roeg's most astonishing
attribute as an accomplished director
resides in his special talent fa cleverly
suggesting the existence of new and
perhaps disturbing realities. The job of his
vision is contained in his profound sense of
awe and wonder fa the universe which so
many people have lost and others hav?
never found.

I liter's Note: This is the fourth of a series
five articles dealing with the arrest,
prisonment, and escape of Stephen
irris Wilson, ECU alumnus, from a
jxican prison.
While being held in a Mexican prison,
ve H. Wilson, was allowed to write, a
vilege of which he took liberal advant-
B. However, in order to smuggle his
ting from the prison he had to either
oe a guard, or find a sympathetic visitor
aid him.
'Wilson wrote poetry, but a larger
ount of his time was devoted to writing
ers to friends, government agencies,
)lications, and organizations.
A comprehensive account of Wilson's
3st in Mexioo was published in a letter
?layboy magazine. The following is an
erpt from that letter, written by Wilson
I smuggled from the prison. The letter
cerns Mexican coercion tactics used in
er to foroe Wilson to sign a oonfession.
"We were thrown into a tiny lice-
jsted cell with about 30 other persons,
le were beaten, we all were starved. I
' an elderly man have his leg wrapped in
stic and the plastic set afire. His
iams were not easy to forget, nor is the
it of his bubbled skin. I became sick
, man, was I scared. After five days I
isd the document. I would've signed
thing by then. There went that
yie-hero image of myself out the
dow
After signing, Wilson was told that he
confessed to trading a camera for 44
kilo's of marijuana. To this day Wilson is
not sure what his prison sentence was, or
what he was actually charged with.
"They lied to me often said Wilson.
"One day they would tell me my arrest was
all a mistake, and the next day they would
say my sentence had been extended to 30
years. I think it was a plot to drive me
nuts
After being in the prison for over, a
year, Wilson wrote to a friend, "I think in
the end it will finally be the loneliness that
does me in. It's the loneliness that does us
all in. You live through emotional periods
that are laced with hope, and each period is
a trial where you must fight and attempt to
maintain - to live as a human being - to
keep it together. I made it through the
panic and fear, the despair, and the
depression, but it is the staggering
loneliness that is breaking me
Wilsrv oontinued, "I had a rich life
before, filled with friends; people who
cared about me, people who would miss
me. I've written over 127 different people
from here, only a handful replied, and now
they too are gone. I feel like you are
watching me on some TV oowboy movie
and I got killed. Now you are waiting for
this movie to be over so I can appear on a
new show
Now the movie is over and Wilson is out
of prison. The new movie Wilson sees
himself in is primarily concerned with
getting his friend, Robert Allen (Bob)
Smith, out of the Mexican prison in which
he is still being held.
The first attempt Wilson made in order
to get Smith out of the prison was to take
the Mexicans by foroe and release Smith at
gunpoint. The attempt failed and Smith
was never contacted.
Wilson had obtained the help of a pilot
from N.C. to help in the rescue attempt,
along with some Indians he had mrt in
Mexico. They had received word that
Smith was to be transferred to another
prison deeper in Mexioo and planned to
capture Smith as he was taken from the
prison.
"It was an ambush said Wilson of the
rescue attempt. "The Mexicans were
waiting for us and shot the plane we rented
full of holes
The first of Wilson's achievements
after his escape was to get his letter
printed in Playboy.
"Tha article opened some doors for
me sa Wilson. Following the article, he
was invt tigated by the U.S. House of
Represen lives Special Committee under
OtisG. Pil . That investigation found him
tobea"vijtimof agent abuse" in Mexico.
STEVE H. WILSON, former ECU graduate, was sentenced to a term in a Mexican prison
for possessjon of an illegal drug. Wilson contends that the charge was created by Mexican
authorities and that his confesssion was coerced. He later escaped from the prison and
made his way back to the U. S.

N.Y. court rules reverse discrimination legal
By ALLAN RA BINOWITZ
(CPS) ? Reverse discrimination ?
generally understood as discrimination
against white males as a result of programs
geared for minorities?is constitutional
under "proper circumstances the New
York State Court of Appeals ruled recently.
The New Yak ruling came in a suit
filed by Martin C. Alevy, an hona student
at Brooklyn College who was denied
admission to the Downstate Medical
Center of the State University of New Yak.
Alevy claimed that his right to equal
protection guaranteed under the 14th
Amendment of the Constitution had been
denied because o' special preference given
to minaity applicants. Alevy is white.
Reverse discriminatico became a public
issue as the number of affirmative action
programs fa minaity groups inaeased.
With competitiai fa jobs and professional
school slots growing cutthroat, the issue
mushroomed into an emotional and as yet
unsettled controversy. A growing number
of white males have complained that their
constitutional rights were being denied
when programs in hiring and education
gave preference to minaity groups. Suits
charging reverse discrimination have been
filed against universities and professional
schools around the country.
"It would be ironic said the New Yak
court in outlining its stand, "were the
equal protection clause used to strike down
measures designed to achieve real equality
fa persons whan it was intended to aid
But in acknowledging the constitution-
ality of reverse discrimination, the court
emphasized that it must be shown that a
substantial interest underlies the policy
and practice and that no less objection-
able racial classification" would serve the

same purpose.
The court also pointed out that it was
not sanctioning the blanket use of such
"benign discrimination" polices: "If such
practices really wak, the period and extent
of their use should be tempaary and
limited, fa as goals are achieved, treir
utilization should be diminished
Other cases dealing with reverse
discrimination are pending in several
states. A suit filed by an unsuccessful
white applicant to the medical school at the
University of Califania at Davis is awaiting
decision by the Califania Supreme Court.
A University attaney speculated that
whoever lost in the Califania Supreme
Court would appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
The nation's highest court has already
faced the question of reverse discrimi-
nation once, in the celebrated Defunis
case, when a white male sued the
University of Washington Law School fa
discriminating against him because he was
is
white. But the Supreme Court side-steppe
the issue by ruling that the case was mcO
since Defunis was allowed to attend th
school pending a decision, and was on tH
verge of graduating at the time his cas
reached the high court.
Neither side was pleased with th;
decision. But the Supreme Court wi
undoubtedly have a second chance to he;
this complex social question.

Millionaire increase cited by economist
ByBILLMcQRAW
(CPS)-Ken Brown, college dropout,
lives in a $250,000 house in Soottsdale,
Arizona that looks an awful lot like a Taco
Bell outlet and serves as home base fa a
chimp, four ho. ass, three dogs, several slot
machines, Gloria Swansons old Rolls
Royce and a flock of chickens. His wife of
several years recently flew the coop and his
pet lion died in January, but for
companionship, Brown need only dip into
his ever-present briefcase to ring up a
friend on his portable phone.
Some people might consider Ken
Brown eccentric. That is open to debate,
but one thing is certain-Ken Brown is
mighty rich. So rich, in fact, that this year
alone he will gross a cool $3.5 million to
add to his already substantial fortune of $2
million in net assets. Often working
20-hour days and taking few vacations,
Ken Brown is certainly different but one of
the most different things about him is that
he is only 31 years dd-and rich.
"The fear of being a failure is what
drives me Brown recently told Money
magazine Money is just a way of keeping
score
Brown, who made most of his fortune
by selling motorcydesand organizing cyde
shows, is a member of one of America's
biggest growth industries: young million-
aires. The number of young Americans
under 35 years who put their worth in the
seven-figure category jumped from 2,400
in 1962 to 14,500 in 1972-an astounding
500 percent inaeaae according to James
Smith, a Pennsylvania State Univasity
economist who studies pattans of wealth.
Overall, there were 133,400 millionaires in
this country in 1972, an inaeaae of 144
percent in the previous decade.
Sociologists who study people and
money say the self-made young million-
aires are mostly white Protestants who
jumped from the middle daas, loners by
disposition and greedy in outlook. "They
are the compulsive acquirers with
outsized ambitions and capacities to
work one executive recruiter told
Money. "You have to be obsessed with
money to make big money added a
Boston soddogist who also studies wealth.
Many of them made their fortunes in
such modern fields as computers, elec-
tronics and land development, flnandal
experts say, pointing out that the dd way
to wealth, such as starting a maja heavy
industry like John D. Rockefella a Henry
Fad, is all but dead. Flaying the stock
market is still very much alive, howeva.
While many of the young nouveau riche
are self-starters like Brown, the son of a
Chicago dentist who also dabbled in used
cars, many of them have received their
bucks through the lucky but time-honaed
methods d inheritance.
The young inheritas-heirs and heir-
esses to fatunes with names like Rocke-
feller, Levi-Strauss and J.C. Penny-
appear to be a different breed d fat cat
than those like Brown who hail from mae
humble backgrounds. Their problem is nd
acquiring money but rather giving it away.
In San Frandsoo, a young band d 16
heirs has fa four years operated the
Vanguard Foundation, a philanthropic
institution which specializes in dding out
funds to groups like the Black Panthers,
radical newsletters, radio stations and
ethnic self-help aganizatiots-in shot,
programs that are " too controversial a too
risky to find funds at moat other
foundations as one Vanguard member
puts it.
In its first four years, the Vanguard
Foundation has given away nearly
$200,600. The average grant is only $2,000
and members of aganizatiota who have
received the grants say the foundation
members question them doaely about
where the money is gdng. A Vanguard-
type group called the Haymarket Found-
ation, started two years ago by baking heir
Qeage Pillsbury, operates from Cam-
bridge, Mass. and rich kids in Los Angeles
and Sante Fe, New Mexico have also
expressed interest in forming groups
similar to the Vanguard outfit, mainly as a
way d dealing with the responsibility and
guilt d having all that money in the first
place. "I felt very uncomfortable when I
first gd my money Obie Benz, heir to a
food company fortune and founda d
Vanguard admitted to the Wall Street
Journal.
Benz says rich young people all across
the country are devising ways to spread
around the wealth and aeate what they
feel is a mae equal sodety. He has been
meeting fa two years with about 20 dher
wealthy Americans between the ages d 21
and 35 who are also interested in
philanthropy-albeit a diffaent brand d
philanthropy than their parents are used
to. "My fatha's idea d charity is giving
money to the Republicans quips one
Vanguard member.
The irony of trying to change sodety
with money made in the grand robber
baron tradition is nd lost on these young,
rich philanthropists. "If shard to get rid of
the money in a way that does mae good
than harm explains a daughter of
Laurence Rockefella. "One of the ways is
to subsidize people who are trying to
change the system and get rid of people
like us
Getting rid of one of the wald's largest
fatunes has been a than in the aides of
many d the 21 Rockefeller cousins, the
great grandchildren of John O. himself. As
Peter Cdiier and David Haowitz explain in
a new book, The Rockefellers, the cousins,
who range in idedogy from Marxists to
spitting images of their fathers, have
wrestled with the dubious hona d being a
Rockefella fa sevaal years with mixed
results. The adivists among them have set
up their own foundations, initiated
"altanative capaations" and argued
about social responsibility with their mae
conservative leaning cousins at great
length.

Honor code discriminates against cadets
(CPS)-Hunger is one of the hazards of
cadet life for recruits at West Point
Military Academy. It's part of the hazing
carried out by upperdassmen, who some-
times keep first year cadets from eating in
order to instill disdpline.
For Cadet Steven Verr, a former
marathon runner used to eating more than
12,000 calories a day during training, the
strain of two days without food was too
much. He cried because erf frustration and
hunger, lied to oover up the real reason
when questioned by upperdassmen and
now faces expulsion for lying.
The Academy's strid honor code says
that cadets "will not lie, steal or cheat, or
tolerate those that do The only penalty is
dismissal.
Verr's case has added to the weight of
the honor code, already under the strain of
similar cases against 49 cadets accused of
cheating on an electrical engineering test.
Critics inside the Academy are charg-
ing that the honor code might do more
harm than good, binding cadets together to
beat the system. They also charge that
honor oode violations are often judged in
disregard of due process.
Cadet Verr, for instance, was interro-
gated "after taps, perhaps around mid-
night, by honor board representatives with
a tape recorder his attorney daims.
"That's flatly against regulations, but
that wasthe honor board doing it Capt.
Arthur Lincoln alleged.
Lincoln also daimed that the cadet
honor chairman had been challenged off
the board because of a personal interest in
Verr's case, but stayed anyway and offered
comments. "One of the problems of the
honor oommittte is that it fails to follow its
own rules and regulations Lincoln said.

That charge is repeated by a lawyer fa
the cadets fadng expulsion for allegedly
cheating on a test. The Academy charged
101 cadets with cheating. Three resigned,
49 were deared and another 49 are waiting
for an appeal in late May to find out if they
will be able to oontinue at the Academy.
The lawyer fa the cadets still waiting in
the judidal limbo charges that verdids
were fixed and bribes were made in an
attempt to influence votes of hona board
members.
Academy offi als deny his claim,
saying that there are "too many gate-
keepers in the system fa that to happen
Unnamed cadets have said, however, that
cheating has been widely pradiced and
condoned. The Academy, they say, has
restrided its investigation to save face with
taxpayers and avoid dedmating its upper
dasses.
One cadet who contacted the New Yak
Times said he gave his examinatiai paper
to eight rther reauits, "none of whom
were even questioned Another said that
nearly half of the 900-member junia dass
was involved in cheating.
They assert that the Academy is trying
to keep the true scale of cheating under
wraps, since taxpayers who front the
$60,000 fa training each cadet might react
strongly to wholesale dismissals.
Kicking out a large number of next
year's senias would also disrupt the
Academy's summer training program
which is run by senias.
Maja William Smullen of the Academy
says that a "whitewash isn't being
conducted Statisticians are going
through the engineering tests to attempt to
oome up with new evidence, he said,
adding that anyone suspected of cheating
will be "justly punished "People that
would cheat don't belong in the Aca-

Jenkins rumored to be setting up meeting
c
By JOHN EVANS
Sports Editor
According to informed sources, ECU
Chancellor Leo, Jenkins has taken the
initiative in forming a new conference and
has issued invitations to as many as eight
East Coast schools fa a June 16 meeting
in Richmond, Va.
LEO JENKINS
Jenkins has reportedly contacted Uni-
vi rsity presidents from Richmond, Virginia
Tech, South Carolina, William and Mary
and West Virginia to meet in Richmond.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported on
Wednesday of last week that Jenkins was
the one who had taken the initiative. Other
reports say that VMI, Florida State and
Southern Mississippi have also been
contacted.
Jenkins would not oomment on the
reports Friday evening and was out of town
Monday when the FOUNTAINHEAD tried
to reach him. In the April 13 issue of this
paper, it was reported that ECU was
involved in forming a new conference
which included some of the teams
mentioned in the most recent reports.
Meanwhile, actions by three of the
schools indicate such a meeting could be a
possibility, if not the initial formation of the
new conference.
Richmond will be leaving the Southern
Conference as of July 1 of this year. East
Carolina will leave the conference as of
July 1, 1977, and, according to repc :s in
Saturday's edition of the Newport News-
Time Herald, William and Mary has
discussed plans with the Southern Con-
lerenos about withdrawing, possibly as
soon as July 1 of next year.
On William and Mary's withdrawal, SC
Commissioner Ken Germann denied that
there had been talk concerning William
and Mary's withdrawal at last week's
conference meeting.
Of the schools reportedly contacted.

Coming Thursday:

AthlBtQS Continued from page 17.
During the indoor season, Suggs ran a 6.0 in the 60 yard dash to qualify for the NCAA
championships. His 6.0 time ranked him tenth in the nation.
EARL GARNER-Garner was one of the few bright spots for the ECU basketball team
this year. A seoond-team Southern Conference selection, Garner led the Pirates in scoring
and field goal percentage during the year and was second on the team in rebounding and
third on the team in free throw percentage. He was also named FOUNTAINHEAD's
Player of the Year for men's basketball.
KENNY STRAYHCRN-Strayhorn isthe third member of the ECU football team to be
selected as one of the top ten athletes for 1975-76. A senior, Strayhorn was the Pirates'
leading rusher fa the year with 638 yards in 101 carries. He finished the year as the third
leading rusher in ECU history and was named to the All-Conference first team. He
totalled 2,155 yards on the ground during his ECU career. He holds the reoord for kickoff
returns and kickoff return yardage.

Virginia Tech has been reported as saying
that it doubted it would send a represent-
ative to the June 16 meeting in Richmond.
The remaining seven schools all expressed
an interest in attending the meeting.
VMI, Florida State and Southern
M ississippi were mentioned, in a oolumn in
Saturday's Greensboro Daily News, as
having been oontacted about the meeting,
but none of the other reports have
confirmed this. There is reportedly some
disfavor for those three schools, primarily
because of their location.
Meanwhile, the University of South"
Carolina has admitted an interest in joining
a oonferenoe, now that Atlantic Coast
Conference expansion seems unlikely, and
the school's President William H. Patter-
son, said he will attend the meeting in
Richmond.
Currently, South Carolina is als
discussing the possibility of joining t
Metro Six basketball oonferenoe, whi
consists of Georgia Tech, Tulane, Loui
iana State, St. Louis, Memphis State ai
Cincinnati.
USC basketball coach Frank McGui
said he had received a call from "a do
friend" who asked if he were interested
forming a oonferenoe of six E st Coe
schools.
MoGuire saa the conference as a
"TTned to him involved "two schools frc
Virginia, one school from North Cardir
and that it is being handled on t
presidential level
with reports circulating throughout t
states of North Cardina, Virginia, a

deal of interest in such a conference a
perhaps the rumors are true.

SC admits three new member:
The Southern Conference has admitted

Western Cardina. Marshall University
and the University at Chattanooga were all
vded into the oonferenoe at the conference
meetings which ended here Friday morn-
ing.
The three new members will be on a
probationary status for one year before
becoming eligible for conference
championships in 1977.
At the same time, the oonferenoe heard
withdrawal speeches from both East
Cardina and Richmond. Richmond is out of
the conference effedive July 1 and ECU
will fdlow suit at the same date next year.
That would mean the number of schods
in the conference would be increased to
nine as of July 1, 1977, with possibly one
other schod, Madison Cdlege, up for
admission next spring.
Under conference by-laws the three
new members would not be eligible for
championships in major sports, but oould
qualify for championships in some of t
non-revenue sports.
To be eligible, according to Southe
Conferenoe Commissioner Ken German
the schods would have to achieve Divisi
Onestatusin the sport, and meet all NC
and Southern Conference eligibility r
quirements. In most non-revenue spor
teams are required to participate in at &
two meets to be eligible for the conferen
championship.
According to Germann, each of t
schods should be able to meet Divisi

Rumors circulated that Davidson a

I Lots Of Conference Talk Around
Repatsaredrculating dealing with the possibility of ECU gaining a hook-up with one
or two new conferences which are in the making.
Still in the rumor stage, the report links ECU with plans to join a Southeastern
I basketball conference andor a mid-Atlantic athletic conference,
t Stories concerning the basketball conference lists ECU as one of 23 schools which have
r been extended invitations to attend a meeting on May 26 in Atlanta, Ga. The meeting is
reportedly to discuss the possibilities of forming a conference among NCAA Division I
F basketball independents which would be eligible to gain one or more berths in the NCAA
t tournament.
a The initiative for the meeting was begun by Dr. Glenn Wilkes of Stetson University.
vWilkes is the basketball coach and Athletic Director at the Deland, Fla. school.
According to Wilkes, the purpose of such a conference was to gain some recognition
5for Southern independents that have "for so long been ignored by the NCAA Regional
cselection committees
c "All of us are concerned that the NCAA selection oommittee has by-passed Southern
independents for the last several years said Wilkes. "When seleding partidpants in
cthe NCAA basketball tournament we've been by-passed.
"A combination of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference receiving four
automatic berths and the conference runners-up being eligible has reduced the number of
independent seledions. All of this has oome at the expense of the Southern
independents
I Wilkes added that the formation of an informal assodation for the benefit of all schools
Ipublidty-wise might aid the Southern independents.
"If we joined together into an assodation said Wilkes, "paid dues, appointed
committees to meet with the NCAA, with television and other media, employed a
publidty diredor to make weekly press releases regarding standings, etc it would
enhance our position
ECU Athletic Diredor commented that ECU would be present at the meeting.
"We will look into this and other ways in which we can move along and upgrade our
program after we leave the conference
The other conference news deals with reports that say ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins
rtas extended invitations to five other schools to meet in Richmond in mid-June to discuss
ormation of a mideastern athletic conference.
According to reports, Jenkins has asked presidents and athletic diredors from five
Dther schools to meet in Richmond todiscussthe formation of the conference. The schools
eportedly asked to attend are Richmond, William and Mary, Virginia Tech, South
Carolina and West Virginia.
The move was apparently initiated by ECU after it was assured that the ACC has no
3lans whatsoever to expand in the near future, but Jenkins would not oomment on the
situation.
The invitations were reportedly mailed out last Thursday and Jenkins is supposed to
lave talked at length to offidals at Richmond and the University of South Carolina
Jponoerning the possible meeting in mid-June.
West Virginia, Virginia Tech and South Carolina at one time were members of an
athletic conference, but since 1971 all three schools have been independents.
Richmond has recently dropped out of the Southern Conference, effedive June 1, and
ECU is leaving that loop as of July 1 of next year.
William and Mary is still a member of the Southern and has made no announcements
"xncerning dropping out. It is rumored, though, that the school isthinking strongly in that
iirection.
The timing of the meeting is reportedly set to tie in with the redassification by the
?JCAAof Division One football. All six schools want to remain in the top foot ball level, but
he NCAA will not announce a dedsion concerning redassification until the first two days
n June.
The latest reports of this new conference possibility backs up reports that
:OUNTAINHEAD received a month ago.
