- GA screening for new legal firm
3yDENNISC. LEONARD
News Editor
The Student Government
aociation is presently look-
) fa a new law firm to
ndle the advisory services
Jovided through the SGA.
The contract with Blount,
fisp and Grant my re ended at
(B end of May, leaving the
3A without any legal advis-
s or services for the stu-
jnts.
According to SGA Presi-
ant Tim Sullivan, all the
resent law firm does is
rovide legal advice six hours
week at 30 minute time
artables, plus they do the
iqal work fa the refrigeration
and monetary loan programs
provided by the SGA.
Blount, Crisp and Grant-
myre have been on legal
retainer to the SGA since 1972
at a cost of $325 per month.
"We are looking fa ad-
ditional servioes and there are
some goals which I have set in
looking fa a new legal firm
said Sullivan.
Accading to Sullivan there
are three primary goals that he
will be stressing for the
saeenings of the new firm.
The first goal is to double
the amount of time fa advis-
ing fron six hours a week to
12. Thisadvisay inaease will
allow the law firm to provide
four davs of service instead of

Seven debate new conference
t
Seven schools, including
'ajor college independents
uth Carolina and Flaida
jte. were supposed to attend
5 meeting in Richmond today
rconsider the possibilities of
-ming a new athletic con-
?l L rence, according to ECU
"tancella Leo Jenkins,
n addition to South Carolina
36 Flaida State, William and
ary, Richmond, Southern
d ississippi, Virginia Military
stitute and ECU were suc-
ceed to attend.
M. Four of the schools men-
ied by Jenkins are either
(rrent or past members of the
wuthern Conference. Rich-
a'bnd left the Conference this
st year and ECU has an-
l'Ounced it will withdraw from
oop next July. Both
ilham and Mary and VMI
ve indicated they are study
v
lbs,
mm
ing their current alignment
with the league.
Jenkins noted that West
Virginia and Virginia Tech
were both invited to the
meeting, set fa 12 noon at the
Hyat House in Richmond, but
that both have indicated they
will na send representatives.
Jenkins also naed that the
University of Miami has asked
to be kept infamed ai the
outcome of the meeting.
Jenkins explained that his
invitations had been issued to
Chancellors and Presidents
only, but that the various
school heads miaht chose to
bring their athletic directas a
faculty athletic chairman.
The ECU Chancel la noted
that discussions would prob-
ably revolve around the feasi-
bility of establishing a new
athletic conference that would
compete on the Class I level in
the NCAA.
"One of the driving rea-
??? i iiimniui i win-
sons behind our seeking ath-
letic affiliation like this is to
insure that we stay in the I
classification in football
Jenkins noted.
The demotion of the
Southern Conference to IA in
football was one of the reasons
ECU left the loop, Jenkins
noted.
Just what will oome out of
the meeting, Jenkins is na
sure.
"There are several possi-
bilities. First, the schools
present may decide to fam a
steering oommittee and study
the idea fa a while. Or, the
people present may decide to
get the ball rolling right away
and start something immed-
iately Jenkins explained.
The ECU Chancel la noted
that it would take a la of wak
to start a loop and that any
quick action would involve a
lot of problems.
"There are financial mat-
ters to oonsider. Then there
are geographical and travel
problems to be waked out.
Scheduling and the hiring of a
directa and then affiliation
with the NCAA is most
important Jenkins naed.
But, Jenkins does na see
the geographic differences in
the league as any major
problem.
"If such a league was
formed, the minor sports
would probably be divided into
regions or divisions which
would cut down on travel. But,
in the maja spats the travel
would not be a problem since
ve already travel those dis-
tances to play foaball and
basketball opponents Jen-
kins contended.
Jenkins admitted that all
the athletic programs in the
seven schools that will attend
the previous three and will
also allow the lawyers to hold
conferences with students in
the maning.
Accading to Sullivan this
will enable those students who
have class in the maning to go
see the lawyer if they need
advice and to go to wak
during the afternoon if they
have part time jobs.
The second aitena fa the
new firm will be to allow a
lawyer referral system. This
will enable the advisay firm to
refer the student to a good
lawyer fa fair prices.
The third goal is to have
the lawyer perfam Naary
Public services fa the stu-
dents if the occasion should
arise.
Sullivan is hoping that the
newly chosen firm will consent
to trying some test cases fa
the SGA during the oourse of
their contractual year. An
example of test cases would be
the Pitt County taxation pro-
blem facing students, illegal
arrests, and the praection of
campus publications against
libel and slander suits.
?' These cases would have a
wide scope, where the decision
would involve a wide number
of students.
Sullivan will be going to
UNC-Chapel Hill to examine
their legal retainer services
and naed that Chapel Hill
retains a lawyer fa $12,000 a
year
Accading to Sullivan the
maja legal problems students
have faced are shoplifting,
traffic violations (specifically
driving under the influence
charges), landlad problems,
and bad checks.
"Whatever contract signed
will go from July 1 to January
31 st because I do na want to
tie the next SGA president
with a lawyer I chose.
We are talking of doubl-
ing the retainer fees upwards
of $10,000 and it is something
that is long overdue added
Sullivan.
Many maja law firms in
Greenville are presently being
screened by the SGA in hopes
of finding legal services fa the
students

The University of Nath
Carolina Board of Governas
approved a study last Friday
which found there is no state
discrimination against the five
predominately black institu-
tions in the University of Nath
Carolina system.
The study, prepared by the
UNC general administration,
found that funding of the
predominately black institu-
tions was about the same as
funding of oomparable pre-
dominately white institutions.
The study contained a wide
assatment of data on state
funding, physical piants,
library sizes, personnel sala-
ries, and faculty-student
ratios.
In the study Nath Carolina
Central and Nath Carol na
A&T, the two main predomi-
nately black institutions, were
compared with carespaiding
white schools, ECU, Appala-
chain State, Western Carolina
and UNC-Charlotte. These
schools have no doctaal pro-
grams, but offer bah bachela
and master degree programs.
The study did na include
UNC-Chapel Hill. North
Carolina State University in
Raleigh a UNC-Greensbao in
the analysis of programs and
financing against the predom-
inately black institutions.
Other comparisons were
made in the study between
predominately black schools of
mmmmmmmmm
Elizabeth City State. Fayette-
ville State and Winston-Salem
State with their white ca-
respaiding schools. Pembroke
State, UNC-Ashevilie and
UNC-WiImington. These
general schools only offer
undergraduate degrees.
The study was undertanen
by the University system
several year sago to assure the
Department of Health. Edu-
cation and Welfare that
resources were being divided
equally between all campuses
in the 16 member UNC
system.
While the study concluded
there were no significant dif-
ferences in the state funding to
the five predominately black
schools, there were still some
important general differenoes
existing between schools in
the system, the report indi-
cated.
The report contended that
the black schools have large
numbers of students na well
prepared fa college, large
numbers of faculty members
that don't hold doctaal de-
grees and the devaioi of
many resources to basic skills
and remedial programs.
The study called 'a special
programs to allow faculty
members at the black schools
to obtain doctaal degrees and
fa the upgrading of faculty
salaries at several campuses,
both black and white.

SGA bus service to begin soon
By BECKY BRADSHAW
Staff Writer
By the beginning of the
second summer session, the
SGA hopes to have two new
buses in service for the
students.
The buses, built by
Thomas Built Buses, Inc will
enable the transit system to be
expanded, according to Tim
Sullivan, SGA president.
With the addition of two
new buses, a third route will
be added and one bus will be
used as a backup in case of
mechanical difficulty.
Greg Davis, acting transit
manager, said the third route
will serve Tar River apart-
ments and the area along First
Street.
The second summer ses-
sion will give the new transit
manager, Gary Miller, an
opportunity to become orient-
ed to the new route, while also
ironing out any problems
which may arise.
Sullivan feels the new
buses were a necessity to the
growing needs of the univer-
sity.
He hopes to utilize them to
their full potential, including
charter trips to ball games and
concerts.
Business Dept notes promotions
Dean James H. Bearden
has announced the appoint-
ment of Dr. Danny Hines and
chairman of the Department of
Accounting and Finance and
the promotion of Dr. Frank
Close to chairman of the
Department of Business Ad-
ministration in the ECU School
of Business.
Dr. Close has served as
acting chairman of Business
Administration, the largest
department in the School of
Business, for the past year.
The department has nearly
1.000 majors and offers pro-
grams in the areas of market-
ing, management, general
business and real estate.
"As Dr. Close assumes
this new role of leadership, I
am confident that the Depart-
ment will continue to grow and
mature in ways that will
benefit the many students who
seek degree programs in the
department Dr. Bearden
said.
He said the appointment
"reflects the confidence' ch
Dr. (Chancellor) Jenkins and
faculty members" have in Dr.
Close.
Dr. Bearden said "the field
of accounting represents one
of the fastest growing areas in
higher education in business.

ness, it seems to have been the

ECU assigned Division I
ByRAYBRINN
Staff Writer
ECU officials are elated
over the recent announcement
that ECU has been named as
one of the 97 Division I
Football Institutions design-
ated by the NCAA Classifi-
cation Committee.
The NCAA, in a major
revamping of its collegiate
football membership for legis-
lative and competitive pur-
poses, listed the university in
the highest classification pos-
sible in the nation.
The Division I Football
classification also has as its
members such powers as
Alabama, UCLA, Louisiana
State University, Penn State,
University of Southern Cal-
ifornia, Michigan, 0
and Texas. In addition other
schools include all seven
members of the Atlantic Coast
Conference and the Souther
Conference President's Cup
winner William and Mary. No
other Southern Conference
teams made the Division I
classification.
The arrival of the good
news over the weekend left
Chancellor Leo Jenkins
pleased. "We're very proud of
being named because we
deserve it. Our program is on
the level with the others
named and we're just very
pleased to be classified with
them said Jenkins.
Athletic Director Bill Cain
was also pleased. "We're
always concerned where we
standand we want a top
program. This should help us
in reauiting and future sche-
duling. I'm sure Coach Dye is
excited. We've been working
for this type of program; it's
very prestigious to be named,
said Cain. We felt we were
qualified. We had worked on
the NCAA's criteria (for ad-
mission into the select group)
for three or four months
The NCAA classified in-
stitutions in four groupings:
Divisions I, IA, II, and III. The
Citadel, Furman University,
Marshall University, Appala-
chian State University and the
University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga were listed under

the meeting are not compar-
able.
"There are some strong
school sand then some that are
not as strong. But, the key
thing is that all these schools
are working hard to improve
their programs. Overall I think
the schools involved would be
as balanced as the Athletic
Coast Conference Jenkins
contended.
"If the seven schools that
go to the meeting form a loop
then it would be on the whole a
balanced league, one that
could be very strong, Jenkins
continued.
The ECU Chancellor noted
that it would be mose benefi-
cial to ECU to join an athletic
conference.
"We would like to see
something come out of this
meeting. But, we are flexible.
If the rest present decide to
study this thing for a year we
will go along with that. It is a
big question and one that
deserves a lot of study
Jenkins concluded.

By BETTYGUNTER
Staff Writer
"Most public drinking
son on the public high-
ys said Martin MoGuire,
ector of preventive socia
rams at the ECU School of
ied Health.
One hundred and seven-
fen accidents were caused by
Lrik drivers in Pitt County
luring 1975.
' According to Highway Pa-
i!man G.L. Swanson, there
? i approximately a 65 percent
jnviction rate for drunken
fivers who are arrested.
"The oonviction rate con-
ferning drunken drivers is
Bry poor said Swanson.
A new law was enacted in
anuary of 1975 making it
'legal to drive with a blood
oohol oontent of .10 percent
r more, according to Swan-
XI.
"The .10 percent blood
Joohol oontent is based on one
rop of alcohol per 1.000 droos
of blood said Swanson.
Aocording to Swanson, the
1975 law has not had much
effect on the number of
drunken driver oonvictions.
"The problem with the
oonviction rate is that it is not
being used said Swanson.
The conviction rate differs
from oounty to oouaty, accord-
ing to John E. Schlick, ECU
driver education coordinator.
"The number of drunken
drivers depends on the
oounty's highway patrol en-
forcement, the court pro-
secutor and the judge said
Schlick.
According to Schlick, 63.4
percent were found guilty as
charged in 1975 which leaves
approximately 37 percent with
a lesser charge.
"The primary problem of
not getting the oonvictions is
in the oourts said Schlick.

Hastings Ford was unable

oonvction rate for My6 is even
less then for 1975.
Figures show that 59.4
percent were convicted as
charged with 19.1 percent
convicted on a lesser offense in
1976. In 1975, 63.5 percent
were convicted as charged
with 16.4 convicted on a lesser
offense.
"Inconsistency of the
drunken driver laws subjects
very few people to penalties
said MoGuire
Drinking and driving are so
much a part of our behavior
that we find law officers really
not applying consistent be-
havior, according to MoGuire.
"Only to the point that
drivers become erratic is at-
tention drawn said Mc-
Quire.
No one ever gets stopped
for drunken driving but the
driving behavior is the fact-
or he added.
Aocording to MoGuire, the
problem of aloohol must be
recognized with research di-
rected toward the problem.
MoGuire is a member of
the attorney general's com-
mission which studies aspects
of public drunkenness.
One of the problems the
oommittee has to deal with is
the legal definition of alcohol
oontent in relation to one's
drunken behavior said Mo-
Quire.
There are too many vari-
ables involved to generalize
about a specific age group for
the drunken driver, MoGuire
added.
Between the ages of 20 and
30, there is a larger number of
persons arrested for driving
under the influence, aocording
to MoGuire.
This is because their
drinking habits will have en-
tailed the use of greater
amounts of alcohol, therefore
the tolerance lever is higher.
When a person gets his
license there is an implied
consent law which means that
a person will consent, if
arrested, to take a blood or
breath test, according to
Schlick.
If you do not consent, you
automatically lose your license
for six months said Schlick.
Aocording to Ptl. Swanson
there are three steps in the
breathalyzer test. "The steps
are oollejting the breath sam-
pler, passing the sample
through an acid solution, and
measuring the amount of
potassium dicromate required
to oxidize the aloohol in the
sample said Swanson.
"Everybody is involved in
drinking and driving and there
is no set socio-economic
class said Dr. Alfred S.
King, coordinator for driver
traffic safety information.

ECU Colony learns Stamp Act lesson
North Carolina license plates this year
proclaim, "First in Freedom Two centuries ago
the Halifax Resolves which denounced the
tyranny that usurped a power over the persons
and properties of the people unlimited and
uncontrolled were passed by The Select
Committee to take into Consideration the
Usurpations and Violences attempted and
Committed by the King and Parliment of Britain
against America. Today another select group of
North Carolinians faces the usurpations of a new
tyranny-Taxation Without Representation, an
historical injustice perpetrated a contemporary
regime.
In August the Pitt county Tax Supervisor's
office will begin sending out bills to county
residents for tangible properties that they own
and maintain in the county. As defined by the
N.C. Attorney General's office: "When legal title
to personal property is held by a North Carolina
resident who maintains a home' residence in one
county but who lives for more than six months in
another county for the purpose of attending

Although the Attaney General's office first
ruled back in 1955 that tax situs was established
in the county where a citizen spent most of the
year, it was not until this year that Pitt County
decided to tax students falling into this categay.

Committee action hits former students
aThe House Labor and
(fcication Committee on June
approved a proposal by a
je of 21 to 15 which restricts
Udents' right to declare
mkruptcy. The provision,
fered by Rep. John Erlen-
yn (R-ML), prevents former
?dents from discharging
i0ir educational loan debts
trough bankruptcy for five
j?rs after repayment begins,
provision is found in HR
14070, the Guaranteed Stu-
dent Loan package that the
House Postsecondary Edu-
cation Subcommittee has
labored for two years to put
together.
The provision is part of an
effort to tighten up student
loans. However, aooording to
one senior staffer, it is "out-
rageous" and "completely
misses the point falling into
the trap of confusing bank-

Claims that a large number

Supporters of the bill have
used misleading figures to
back up their argument. Large
percentage increases are cited
in the number of bankruptcies,
but the actual number of
students declaring bankruptcy
is quite small, amounting to
two-tenths of one peroent of
the loans made and less than
three-tenths of one peroent of

CU
Rundgren combines old and new on FAITHFUL album Iq
By MARK LOCK WOOD
Staff Writer
Todd Rundgren has onoe
again come up with some
shocking surprises. The ta-
lented producer-performer has
aeated another refreshingly
different masterpiece to the
joy of Todd fans everywhere.
His latest album, entitled
"Faithful contains not only
some new cuts by Rundgren,
but also some oldie-goldies
which he does a remarkably
good job of reproducing while
still retaining his own unique
style.
The first cut on side one is
an old Yardbirds song entitled
Happenings Ten Years Time
Ago Here Todd does the
Yardbirds one better. The
vocals far surpass Keith Relf
(vocalist for the Yardbirds)
and the guitars are so uncan-
nily close to the real thing that
even Jeff Beck and Jimmy
Page would have to think twice
about the similarity.
This song is followed by
what is perhaps the highlight
of side one as far as product-
ion and "faithful" imitation of
the original. "Good Vibra-
tions the Beach Boys' most
popular single, written by
Brian Wilson and Mike Love,
is so intricately rendered by
Rundgren that you would
swear it was the Beach Boys
themselves. All the voices and
harmonies are done by Todd in
a manner so meticulous as to
leave you gaping at the
outcome. Rundgren includes
all aspects of the instrument-
ation in this number. He
leaves no stone unturned,
right down to the therimin
(which makes the "whistling"
sound at the beginning of tne
song), and the "fuzzy" guitar
at the end of the song.
Then follows the Lennon
McCartney hit entitled
"Rain Here Todd's
"reflections" fall short in the
vocal department, but then,
Todd can't do everything. The
instrumentation and product-
ion of the song make up fa
anything lost in the vocals.
The droning bass and soft
Elliott becomes
Fountainhead
senior editor
By LEE RAW LS
Staff Writer
The top position at the
Fountainhead is now held by
Jim Elliott. Elliott assumed
the responsibilities of Edita-
in-Chief June 8, replacing
Mike Tayla.
Elliott, a senia fran Clay
Root, was born in Nafolk, Va.
His father waked in con-
struction, which took the
family to many different
places, including Titusville,
Fla where Elliott went to
high school.
The 23-year old political
science maja began waking
as a Fountainhead news writer
mae than a year ago. Since
then, he has waked in various
capacities on the staff includ-
ing the assistant news edita
and news edita positions.
One of Elliott's favaite
pastimes is bicycling, which he
does during any spare time he
can find. This interest caused
Elliott to enjoy the gas short-
age, when traffic was lighter.
The editor's interest in
cycling, coupled with his
French mina, took him to
Europe during the summer of
'75, when he spent six-weeks
as the leader of a bike tour of
the continent.
At present, Elliott is
plunging into his new Foun-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
tainhead position, and he has
numerous ideas fa improve-
ments of the paper's quality
and operations.
"I would like to inaease
revenues, and fa the paper to
become financially indepen-
dent he said.
He also plans to inaease
the use of photojournalism,
and to have mae freshmen
waking with the mae exper-
ienced staff members
"A lot of people are put off
by our outward signs of
disaganizatioi, especially on
production days he said.
"But once they have been
around, they would like it
chords of McCartney and
Lennon jump out at you in this
tribute to the Beatles.
Perhaps the most
humaous piece on the side
is "Most Likely You Go Your
Way and I'll Go Mine" by Bob
Dylan. Again Todd is no Bob
Dylan, but he does give the
vocals the old college try. You
can almost hear The Band
playing in the background,
and Todd's harmonica is ade-
quate, so the song is redeem-
ing.
Todd's thirst fa perfection
caitinues in his rendition of
"If Six Was Nine The
guitars in the song would
make Robin Trower envious,
and the vocals, although not as
powerful, reflect the same
unique style of Jimi Hendrix.
Rundgren even inserted the
"talking part" of the song
with a unique twist of slowing
down the voioe fa his own
effect.
Todd begins the next song
"Strawberry Fields Faever"
(LennonMcCartney) with the
characteristic agan and cai-
tinues with another very
meticulous production of the
Beatles' song, with the same
driving drums, and even
throwing in the "achestra-
tion Listen very carefully at
the end of the song, and Todd
even appears to be "mumb-
ling" something.
As mentioned, the second
side is all new Todd, and
appears to be a departure from
previous albums he has done
with the band he famed called
Utopia. It seems to be mae
Todd and less Utopia, with
something unique to Todd:
:ome acoustic pieces.
Side 1 begins with a
driving, rook and roll song by
Todd entitled "Black and
White" featuring the renown-
ed Rundgren as guitarist-
innovator. The piece is rem-l

CU medics
rons discusses changes needed at Infirmary
tarist-
rem-
oage 7
By DENISE DUPREE
Staff Writer
Dr. Cary F. Irons, a
eenville, N.C. native, is one
the lucky few. His profes-
- medicine has been a
stant challenge.
Dr. Irons' first challenge
teaching. He taught Bio-
y and Chemistry on the
h school level. After teach-
, Dr. Irons served a brief
ile as a Medical Officer.
Private practice was Dr.
s' next accomplishment.
er giving up his successful
4vate practice, Dr. Irons was
med Chief of Staff at
reenville's Pitt Memorial
ospital.
A few of Dr. Irons' other
xxxnplishments include be-
g named Who's Who in the
xjth and Southwest, 1963-
)70, and Personality of the
th, 1970. Dr. Irons was
President of Pitt County's
edicaf Society.
Dr. Irons' present position
that of Director of Student
alth Services at East
arolina University's infirm-
ary. As Director, he is in
charge of infirmary adminis-
trative matters along with
seeing patients.
Irons feels the infirmary
needs more personnel. "We'd
be more effective if we had a
larger personnel. Ideally, that
means we would have more
doctors or nurses and more
secretaries, but this would
have to come from the stu-
dent's health fees, which pay
salaries. The health fee may
well have to be raised to do the
job required of us
Some students stop the
infirmary from doing their job.
When these students are sick,
they stay in their room and
hope they can get better
without seeing a doctor.
Student's class excuses
also stop the infirmary from
being more effective. "Many
students come to get class
excuses that would not oome
otherwise, and our time is
taken up unnecessarily, so we
don't spend enough time with
sick students Irons said.
The infirmary and faculty
have been discussing the
matter of excuses. If the
infirmary can get their idea
passed, class excuses will not
be given except for final
exams.
"We feel this will be a
tremendous help to us in
meeting the needs of the
student body, because I esti-
mate that 30 percent of our
time is taken up with class
excuses Dr. Irons said.
"This should be a problem
between student and instruct-
or
Class excuses that take up
time and sick students who
don't come to the infirmary are
challenges to Dr. Irons. If past
accomplishments are any indi-
cation, he should meet them.
