East was nominated at the Republican State Convention held in Greensboro in June 1976 One of the duties of a national committeeman is to attend periodica1 Republican meetings in Washington, D.C. to discus formal matters, according to East. "My own personal contri- bution as national oommittee- man is to get people more sensitive toward political issues and to gain more feedback from them East commented. "My position as national committeeman fa the Repub- lican Party will run for four years East said. When asked about his personal views concerning the Republic Party's chances in the electrnn, East commented that the polls suggest the Republican Party faces stiff competition with Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter "The poll should be taken with a grain of salt meaning a particular moment in time East said. At the moment Carter is riding high and the Republican Party is divided, but when the party settles down the battle will be narrowed Dr. East has been teaching at ECU since 1964. While teaching, East is also active in politics.

HEW provides ethnic grants JENKINS FINE A RTS CENTER - This dozer driver fills in around the grounds of the new art complex to assure a stable ground for the numerous overworked art majors to trod upon while going to class. The new section of the complex will be completed next Fall. Forty-nine Ethnic Heritage Studies programs proposed by public and nonpublic edu- cational agencies, institutions, and organizations in 32 States and the District of Columbia have received grants totaling $1.8 million, HEW's Office of Education announced today. The grants were made under Title IX of the Ele- mentary and Secondary Edu- cation Act of 1965, as amend- ed, to encourage the develop- ment of opportunities for individuals and groups of individuals to learn more about their own cultural herit- age and the cultural heritage and contributions of others. Grantees were chosen from 570 proposals requesting a total of about $30 million. Consideration was given to representative projects at the various educational levels- elementary, secondary, and higher education-and to geo- graphic distribution. Every project, regardless of major focus, is required to show evidence of community co- operation, including the crea- tion of a local advisory council. iti Bittercreek to appear on Tuesday By BECKY BRA DSH AW Staff Writer On Tuesday, July 6, 1976, I the Special Entertainment 'Committee of the Student lUnion will present BITTER JfCREEK in ooncert on the Mall at 8 p.m. BITTER CREEK plays a iblend of traditional and con- temporary Blue Grass, includ- ing material from earlier years 'of Blue Grass, when groups jsuch asFlatt and Scruggs were laying the foundations of Blue iGrass music.

Lawmakers in Washington are currently evaluating and in part rewriting the Education Amendments Act of 1972. Acting in behalf of university and college students nationwide, the National Student Lobby will monitor this 'egislation while orofferina recommendations which by its ascertainment are in the best interests of students as a class. The Higher Education Amendments of 1976, comprised of the Senate's Omnibus Education Bill of 1976 and the House's 1976 Higher Education Amendments and Guaranteed Student Loan Amendments of 1976, when passed by Congress sometime this year, will reauthorize all federal higher education programs, including all student aid programs. The various provisions of this legislation deal specifically with the Basic Grant and Work Study Programs, special pro- grams for students from disadvantages back- grounds, bankruptcy (defaulting on educational loans), and the Trigger Amendment to House legislation, which .would tie student aid programs to institutional development projects. The fate of this amendment would affect the ratio of federal monies channeled directly to students to the amount given colleges and universities for capital improvements. NSL has written a factsheet on the key provisions of the higher education legislation and is circulating it to student groups throughout the country. The circular examines current wording of House and Senate bills, specifies differing versions, and includes a "draft" position on the various provisions. Before taking a formal position on the legislative wording NSL is seeking student input on these bills. The degree of feedback NSL receives from students on this legislation will not only serve as a barometer on student perceptions of bills themselves, but could also determine if students of American colleges and universities believe NSL is a representative arm of their goals and interests. ountainhead Editor-in-Chief-Jim Elliott Advertising ManagerVioki Jones Business Manager-Teresa Whisenant Production Manager-Jimmy Williams News Editor-Dennis Leonard Trends Editor-Pat Coyle Proofreader-Pam Diffee Layout-Cindy Broome Ad Layout- Helen Moore, Tom Tozer Since it does not hold elections for start positions, NSL must determine what students' views are on specific issues through evaluations based on feedback from member student governments. "The corporation shall work to increase communications between students across the nation, and to focus and organize student energies towards realizing, through established legislative and governmental pro- cesses, goals determined by the students enrolled at the schools of the member student govern- ments of the National Student Lobby states the articles of incorporation filed Feb. 22, 1972. Commentary The idea to establish a non-profit corporation to lobby for students at the national level can be credited in part to Layton Olson, one of the three signatories of the articles. In 1971 Olson was a lawyer for a student group that lobbied on the state level in California. He went on to become salaried director of NSL. David Rosen, the present director of NSL, describes the lobby as a combination of leadership and intern services. Leadership is provided by Rosen and Danny Schottenfels, the legislative director of NSL. The bulk of the group's lobbying effort is done by interns. They are stuaenis wno work tor the lobby for a period of time at barely subsistance wage. Some schools allow interns to receive credit for their experience. Rosen describes an internship as an opportunity to become involved in the legislative process and to work firsthand to see laws passed that will benefit students. NSL operates on an annual budget that may fluctuate from $20,000 to $120,000. According to Rosen, "the lobby has always been a low budget operation, has run less and lesson money and more and more on student energy. When we go to lunch with a legislator we usually let him pick up the check Funding for NSL is received from the nearly 300 school organizations that are NSL members. When these organizations begin communicating their reactions to the lobby's draft proposals on the 1976 higher education bill, the proposals will then be sent to members of Congress who will si 1 on the conference committee to determine th( final wordina of the leaislation. Then Schotten fels' lobbying activities will become even mor intense. In the meantime, it would be to the benefit university and college students, present anc prospective, to familiar -e themselves with thi: legislation and tooommi licate their evaluation of it to their representa. i 'es in Washington. If would also behoove state university systems, of which are represented on the state level bj member school organizations, to become involve with NSL and to let their desires be known to theij representatives. In North Carolina's UNC syster the North Carolina Association of Studenl Governments (NCASG) oould speak for th( member student organizations in an evaluation these bills.

He has assimilated a bination of excellence, as- isted by Lou Reed as pro- ucer, with Wild Angel, that is lure to launch him as a new ecording personality. To begin with, many of the longs do sound very much like iOu Reed. It is easy to imagine ,ou recording some of them, specially "Wild Angel "Sad About It and "We 'hey sound almost as if Slater las copied him drastically, and terhaps he did. The two layed together many years igo, before Lou Reed got arted, in New Yak. There- e, if you appreciate the type f music that Lou Reed puts ut, the album is worth guying. I Another selling point, hich will hopefully attract uyers, is the fact that Nelson ater sounds remarkably like ruce Springsteen. Even iiough the music is obviously mpletely different, their Is have definite similar- es. Springsteen fans can njoy how his distinctive vocal ilities would be used in a fferent musical aspect. Unfortunately, the final that some people will y the album, is that Slater pens to be handsome. This s to attract buyers today, e for example, Peter pton or Roger Daltery. er looks almost as if he is ivid Carradine double. If a ber of people do purchase album purely on this basis, have still made a good ion, for a change. Overall, the album is quite good. Slater wrote all but two of the songs, and he did help write these. Lou Reed's pro- duction is practically flawless and the group of almost all unknowns that play on the album do an excellent job. They include: George Haggis John Brengelman, Bruce Yaw, Mike Suchorsky, Bob Kulick, Marty Fogel Lou Reed and David Horowitz. Sater himself plays the bowed electric guitar and piano. Taking all of these possible reasons for buying the album, hopefully Nelson Slater's Wild Angel will be a big success. Beach Boys strike again By MARK LOCK WOOD Staff Writer Yes all you lovers of surfing and California girls, the Beach Boys are back with a wild and wooly single that will absolutely make you drool with nostagia. The now rejuve- nated Brian Wilson and the rest of the gang (Mike Love, Alan Jardine, Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson) have oome up with a tune that will make you want to grab your boards and hit the surf. The single, entitled "Rock and Roil Music" is a Chuck Berry oldie adapted by Brian. This song, along with the B side entitled "Transcendental Meditation" are included on the Beach Boys' up and coming album entitled 15 Big Ones with Brian Wilson at the helm as producer-songwriter- performer along with the rest of the group. The album is tentatively scheduled to be released on July 4th in con- junction with the beginning of the Beach Boys American Tour. The song "Rock and Roll Music" is very reminiscent of a popular Beach Boys oldie "Surfin' USA The vocal harmonics are still there, and Brian's production, as always, is impeccable. At present the song stands 40 on the charts and is rapidly moving its way up (just like the old days huh?). The flip side, entitled "The Transcendental Medita- tion Song" was written by Brian Wilson. This is a kind of fun thing with Al Jardine singing leads amidst Cheech and Chong impressions, arguing and Alan replaying, "It's time for me to med- itate ' The sleezy saxophone's kinda nice too in this song. Look for the Beach Boys' special Aug. 5 on NBC. NOTE: Thanks to Greg Moll for "technical" assistance.

A jazz-oriented group, all members exhibited from the onset a particular flair fa originality, and a lot of talent. The group halls from Florida, and the members are: Jim Ward (Guitar), David Darlington (Bass), Paul Valentine (drums), Mithran Cabot (percussion), Todd Mc Kinney (keyboards), Bob Harris (lead vocals), Elbert Duncan (saxophone and flute) and Tommy Smith (trumpet and flugelhorn). Tha band started off the set with a song entitled "Movin' On" featuring some powerful vocals by Harris, who seems to embody the style of Marty Balin or the like. David Darlington provided a resounding background to this fast-paced number with his playing of fuzz bass with some solid accompaniment and solos by Todd McKinney on keyboards and Tommy Smith on trumpet. The next song, entitled "I'll be Ready featured Jim Ward playing a kind of "funky" guitar with Durham and Smith providing some exoellent solos on sax and trumpet respectively. Mc Kinney came up with some ARP work similar to Chick Corea in flavor. Once again Harris on vocals provided power to the song. The next number featured Elbert Durham on sax and Tommy Smith on flugelhorn with some mellow vocals by lead guitarist, Jim Ward. Also featured in the sona, entitled "I Know You're Leaving were some impressive guitar leads by Ward and solid bass playing by McKinney. The followina out, entitled "Mystic Melody once again featured the vocals of Jim Ward in a kind of soft, bluesy song reminiscent of B.B. King, progressing into a hard driving piece featuring all members of the group. Perhaps the most homorous song of the night was "Rain Forest" featuring various jungle noises and the always more than ample vocals of Bob Harris. The "fuzzy" effects with guitar and bass in this number were impressive as Darlington and Ward "dueled" for stage presence. The gradual build up of octaves effect in "Rain Forest" created a great sense of power which made this song perhaps one of the most impressive songs of the night. Durham and Smith provided a driving sound heavily en- hanced by "feverish" drums of Paul Valentine and the excellent conga playing of Mithran Cabot. This song then transposed into a soft, mellow, bluesy flute niece bv Durham "about symbiosis entitled " Bird on a Horses' Back Harris pro- vided "crooning" vocals similar to Joni Mitchell (believe it or not) in a simultaneous solo with Dur- ham on flute. Then Harris proceeded to onos again evoke his versatility with a dual part with Todd McKinney on ARP synthesizer. "Walking into the Rhythm of Your Love" - "a funky mambo" aooording to Harris included a Latin beat with some good flute work by Durham and impressive conga playing by Cabot. In this song everybody joined into what turned out to be a frenzy of dancing and percussion play- ing - definintely a fun type of song and probably the high- light of the concert. "Burner Brawn Vamp a kind of rock n' roll number, featured some good keyboard work by McKinney (much like Corea) and some good guitar leads by Jim Ward. A very moving, driving, number. "I Think I Know" was a kind of soulful number featur- ing all members of the band with some heavy vocals and excellent instrumentation. Once again, the audience joined in on the number. The enoore number was a throbbing, moving jazz num- ber entitled "Midnite Molybdenum" featuring some good fuzz bass by Darlington and some good work by all members of the band. Truly a fitting end to an excellent conoert. Helix, who write all their own material, should be oom- ing out with an album in the Fall, according to Bob Harris, lead vocalist of the group. If you missed the conoert, you should set the album - they're that good. f'lppafillti s A L. E ervin &ep& Husti Puppun 307 Evans Street Mall Greenville, NX.
