GA chooses new attorneys DEBBIE JACKSON Staff Writer Itudent Government Nation President Tim lvan announced Monday the Blount, Crisp & tmyer law firm has again retained to serve the its' legal needs. Mount, Crisp & Grant- , which has served ECU 1972, was selected from other Greenville law 5, according to Sullivan. 'ln my estimation, it is the that will look out fa the students' interests said Sullivan. Sullivan cited the firm's experience and enthusiasm as the criteria fa the selection. "We were previously faced with legal service that pro- vided students with only six hours of individual counselling per week said Sullivan. The new contract provides fa twice the individual legal assistance, allowing 12 hours per week with service avail- able on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, accading to Sullivan. Sullivan said that other duties of the firm are to advise the SGA on legal responsi- bilities, to counsel organi- zations under the SGA, to provide a notary public ser- vice, to publish a monthly legal advice column in the Fountainhead, and to take ECU cases to oourt. A test case is pending concerning the right of the city of Greenville to tax students who do not have the right to vote in city elections, said Sullivan. This case should go to court befae Christmas, ac- cording to Sullivan. The retainer fa Blount, Crisp & Grantmyer is $800 per month during the regular school year and $400 fa the summer session, said Sullivan. "We are not saying other attaneys are not as good, but this firm shows enthusiasm and has experience. Now it is up to the students to use it said Sullivan. The contract expires Jan- uary 31, 1977 when the firm will again be evaluated by the next SGA officers. Welborn chosen as new Asst. Athletic Director i JOHN WELBORN John Welban, head wrest- ling.coach at East Carolina fa the past nine years, has been named Assistant Athletic Director, Bill Cain, Athletic Director, announced last week. "With his suocess in ath- letics, he'll be a great asset to our program in this new capacity. He's well-known in athletic circles and has made a name fa himself Cain said. His duties, primarily con- cerned with the non-revenue sports programs, will not prevent him from continuing as head coach of the ECU wrestling program, where his teams have amassed an .894 winning percentage with an 84-10-3 record. The Pirate matmen under his direction have completed a five-year sweep of the Southern Con- ference Championship and he has been named Southern Coach of the Year annually ever since the award was established three years ago. Pi Will I uw Welban also coached the Pirate golfers from 1968-1973, during which time the team captured the conference title twice and never finished below third. The new assistant ath- letic director directed the soccer team during the 1967- 68 seasons. He received his B.S.in Physical Education from Appalachian State University in 1964 following two years at See Welborn, page 4. OSHA makes move to old South Cafeteria ByBETT GUNTER Staff Writer The Occupational Safety Health Association (OSHA) has moved from Spilman building to South Cafeteria, accading to Julian Vainright, business manager at ECU. Authur L. Cddough, safety health ocadinata and Daniel Spran, radiation officer now have offices on the second floa of South Cafeteria. A lab provided with equipment to oount radioactive materials will be built on the second floa of the cafeteria, accading to Cddough. "The lab will not be completed to test the radioactive materials fa 12 maithsa so Cddough said. Accading to Cdclough, the testing done in the lab will not be dangerous but will involve a person who is licensed. Ail equipment must also be registered, he added. In the past, East Carolina has not had a radiation officer, Cdclough said. "The individual departments themselves had faculty who were individually licensed to handle contrd and reoading It was recommended by the state that East Cardina obtain a radiation safety offioer to take basic contrd d radioactive materials on campus, Cdclough said. "OSHA will wak in cooperation with the ECU staff and faculty to set up a radiation safety oommittee which will permit members d faculty to use the materials that will be available Cdclough commented.

LEONA RD News Edita The Student Government Association has received all unappropriated funds fa the academic year 1975-76, leav- ing the SGA with $33,000 remaining in the budget. Accading to Tim Sullivan, SGA president, these un- appropriated funds will revert into a surplus beginning Fall Quarter d 1976, but will be spent on pressing projects during the summer session. "The BUCCANEER has recently been appropriated $3,000 fa the summer budget, the legal retainer fee has been doubled, and the new bus system will be operating some- time during second session summer schod to name a few of the projects we are gang to spend money on said Sul- livan. Accading to Sullivan, the SGA treasurer is anticipating approximately $12,000 in un- appropriated funds at the end of summer schod. For the upcoming Fall Quarter elections, mae matey is gang to be spent in assuring better elections accading to Sullivan. "I would also like to see mae maiey spent ai public relations fa the new transit system and fa the expansion d the legal service added Sullivan. "I do nd believe in keep- ing a surplus of over 10 percent fa the tdal budget Accading to Sullivan the students' money is gang to be spent when it comes in instead of several years after the students leaves ECU. TIM SULLIVAN ?H 2 FOUNTAINHEADVOL. 51. NO 647 JULY 1976 mm mtm ? imu MM? ? m mm tmmmmmmm Student fees face 'court' challenge Full-time students who play tennis on the College Hill Drive courts are all losers. No matter who comes out on top score-wise, all still suffer, not because of their game but because of an on-going volley of responsibility for maintaining the nets on these courts. Tennis-playing students who use these courts are represented by three different administrative units: Physical Education Dept athletics and intramurals. So when the courts come into disrepair, who pays? The courts "on the hill" have been in a delapidated condition since winter-ragged, loose nets and poor lighting. But intramurals was reluctant to pay because the varsity tennis team used these courts. Athletics seems hesitant to pay because these courts are used by the general student body and because it has more important things to buy, like umpteen-watt light bulbs for an expanding stadium. For the record: It should be noted thai improvements to the intramural field adjacent tc the stadium are being paid for out of the university's capital 'improvements budget, sep- arate from athletics and intramurals. Nonethe- less, it will be interesting to see who has priority use of this area-especially if and when the' additions to Ficklen Stadium are completed. fountainhead Editor-in-Chief-Jim Elliott Advertising Manager-Vicki Jones Business Manager-Teresa Whisenant Production Manager-Jimmy Williams News Editor-Dennis Leonard Assistant News Editor-Ray Brinn Trends Editor-Pat Coyle Assistant Trends Editor-Mike Boose Proofreader-Pam Diffee Layout-Cindy Broome Ad Layout- Helen Moore Fountainhead is the student newspaper of East Carolina University sponsored by the Student Government Association of ECU and appears each Tuesday and Thursday during the school year, weekly during the summer. Mailing address: Box 2516 ECU Station, Greenville, N.C. 27834 Editorial Offices: 758-6X6, 758-6367, 758-6309 Subscriptions: $10 annually for non-students, $6.00 for alumni Commentary So tennis-playing students, after seeing their intramural fee raised $3 last year for a bigger and better program, were denied decent maintenance on existing facilities. But alas new freshmen and returning upperclasspersons, take advantage. You may be serviced with new nets come September. n. ?Ji4 t Intramural Director Wayne Edwards said he has met with Bill Cain, director of athletics, and a compromise has apparently been reached. Nine new nets have been purchased with intramural money and should be installed by the beginning of Fall Quarter. Wind screens for these courts have also been bought. In return, the tennis team will be using the College Hill Drive courts only between 6:00 and 7:30 in the morning. With the game apparently even, match point has yet to be played. Sometime in the near future the courts at Minges Coliseum will be lighted. Ironically, plans call for using the old Ficklen Stadium lights. The question is: who will pay the $7,000 installation charge University Main- tenance is asking for the job. It is our contention that if athletics pays for the lights it should receive priority use of these courts, the same for intramurals. However, if the bickering continues, even past one quarter, then all full-time, fee-paying students are being cheated of their money's worth because of the squabble. Let's get politics out of student services and back into the Chancellor's office where it best thrives. ?Forum? Pingston comments on improved lighting To Fountainhead: The Student Government Association has been contact- ed numerously concerning the poor lighting of the tennis courts on College Hill. I recently contacted Mr. C Moore about improving the lighting system, and was told he would look into it and would contact me about what would be needed to bring the lighting up to the level presently at the Elm Street Courts. Five days later Mr. Moore informed me that faulty wiring was the cause fa the poor lighting and that this would be taken car of immediately. I would like to thank Mr Moore fa his immediate re sponse to this problem. I urg all students to use thes facilities and if future pre blems arise concerning th tennis courts a any other are on campus, feel free to get ii touch with me. Thank you.
