C,. 27834<lb /><lb />Vol. II, No. 4/November 1976<lb /><lb />Student<lb />inmate<lb />gives<lb />talk<lb /><lb />By KENNETH CAMPBELL<lb />Editor-in-Chief<lb /><lb />~o~Experience is the best teacher, but<lb />the suffering is not always necessary,�T<lb />according to ECU student Jessie High who<lb />is also a prisoner, speaking to SOULS<lb />Thursday night.<lb /><lb />High is a sophomore business student<lb />attending ECU on a study-release pro-<lb />gram. Each day after classes, he returns to<lb />Williamston where he is serving the eighth<lb />year of a 40 year sentence for kidnapping.<lb /><lb />~~l am not a criminal,TT he says. o~But |<lb />am labelled as one and | am supposed to<lb />believe it.<lb /><lb />~~What the mind can believe, it can<lb />achieve. If | believe | am a criminal, | will<lb />be a criminal. But, | wonTt believe it.TT<lb /><lb />A Youngstown, Ohio native, High, 29,<lb />dropped out of school in the tenth grade<lb />~o~to run with the older guysT.<lb /><lb />~ve had my share of smoking,<lb />drinking and drugs,T he said. o~lTve<lb />abused my body, both physically and<lb />mentally. | donTt want anyone else to go<lb />through the suffering and punishment that<lb />| have.�T<lb /><lb />At the time he dropped out of high<lb />school, High said a first grader could out<lb />read and write him. 7<lb /><lb />He taught himself to read and write<lb />while in jail awaiting his trial. He said he<lb />did so because he felt he was in jail<lb />because he was illiterate.<lb /><lb />High said he has gone through<lb />extensive self-evaluation since being in<lb />prison.<lb /><lb />~| realize that you must accept yourself<lb />the way you are, and be who you are,TT he<lb />said.<lb /><lb />oIf you are black, you canTt help it. So,<lb /><lb />Atlanta Ba<lb /><lb />By C.R. KNIGHT<lb />Staff Writer<lb /><lb />An anticipating audience waited an-<lb />xiously for what turned out to be a<lb />disappointing performance. The Atlanta<lb />Ballet, a touring ensemble, proved to be<lb />unworthy of the popularity given it.<lb /><lb />For one hour and forty-five minutes a<lb />crowded audience sat impatiently. The<lb />excitement and expectation of those who<lb />were experiencing a ballet for the first time<lb />were met with apathy and discouragement.<lb />If it was their first ballet, it was probably<lb />their last too.<lb /><lb />JESSE HIGH, ECU sophomore who is a prisoner.<lb /><lb />program.<lb /><lb />enjoy it.<lb />oIf you are white, you canTt help it. So,<lb />enjoy it.<lb /><lb />oBlack students at ECU, if they donTt<lb />Stop and look at themselves, they are in for<lb />a big letdown.<lb /><lb />~~Subconsciously, they are pretending<lb />to be a white American Negro. They need<lb />to stop and be themselves.TT<lb /><lb />High said because of what he says he<lb />has been accused of speaking parables and<lb />riddles. He said he has been called all<lb />kinds of names denoting sexual perversive-<lb />ness, racial bigotry, and insanity.<lb /><lb />Nevertheless, High says he loves<lb />people.<lb /><lb />~| love me and in return, | can love<lb />people. You and | can appreciate and love<lb />this world.<lb /><lb />o| want to see the blacks here pull<lb />together.<lb /><lb />~TL see some people on campus<lb />gossiping like mama and grandma, and the<lb />neighbors did back home. We need to try<lb />to accomplish our goals instead of<lb />gossiping and doing such things.�T<lb /><lb />He attends ECU ona_study-release<lb /><lb />High does not see himself as an<lb />example, however, he believes he can be<lb />used as an example.<lb /><lb />~~| see myself as being able to be used<lb />as an example. After what ITve gone<lb />through, the students who have come<lb />through high school should have no<lb />problems here.�T<lb /><lb />Another ECU student who has spent<lb />considerable time in jail said he was<lb />enthused with HighTs openness and<lb />willingness ~to discuss his past.<lb /><lb />The senior English student accented<lb />HighTs remarks saying, ~~except for me<lb />(and Jesie) being convicted and serving<lb />time, somewhere along the line, weTre all<lb />going to travel the same road.�T<lb /><lb />High said his parole date is 1979.<lb />However, he hopes to get out prison earlier<lb />In the event he doesnTt get a parole or<lb />pardon, he said his college education will<lb />not be useless. Prisons have work release<lb />programs through which he can get a job.<lb /><lb />After he dropped out of school, High<lb /><lb />joined the Marine Corps. He received four<lb /><lb />purple hearts while in the Corps, including<lb />three while in Viet Nam.<lb /><lb />llet disappointing<lb /><lb />~~TziganeTT, one of the sequences<lb />performed by the troupe, was the best of<lb />the four dances. It portrayed a common<lb />place virgin falling in love, and her<lb />indecision about giving herself to her lover.<lb />The dance ends intimately with the Virgin<lb />and her lover lying next to each other on<lb />Stage under fading lights.<lb /><lb />The universality of the story portrayed<lb />in the ~~TziganeTT sequence was responsi-<lb />ble for its success. The dancing left much<lb />to be desired.<lb /><lb />The dancerTs lack of gontrol coupled<lb />with poor choreography were two of the<lb /><lb />Wonder album review .....page 3<lb /><lb />SPOPES .httttees eee Age 3 Readon<lb /><lb />POCELY uesecereeeene page 4<lb /><lb />most disappointing aspects of the per-<lb />formance. Jumping turns and well coordi-<lb /><lb />nated falls could have been creditable to<lb />the presentation.<lb /><lb />However, both of these lost favor<lb />because they were repeated throughout all<lb />four sequences. Several dances were done<lb />on the right side, then repeated on the left.<lb />As a result the dancers seemed to be in a<lb />college dance class instead of on stage<lb />performing.<lb /><lb />The most horrendous aspect of the<lb />production was the dancerT s lack of control.<lb />In an attempt at a jumping turn one dancer<lb />all but stumbled to the floor.<lb /><lb />In spite of the obvious potential<lb />exhibited by the dancers, the simplicity<lb />and ordinariness of the dancers made the<lb /><lb />ballet deserving of an apology instead of<lb />applause.<lb /><lb />Legislature<lb />rejects<lb /><lb />student<lb /><lb />By KENNETH CAMPBELL<lb />Editor-in-Chief<lb /><lb />The SGA Legislature, Monday night,<lb />Nov. 8, rejected the argument of a black<lb />student that wrong information from the<lb />SGA Elections Committee prevented her<lb />from becoming a dorm legislator.<lb /><lb />As aresult, there are no black students<lb />in -the Legislature. The only direct<lb />representation black students have in the<lb />SGA is through the Office of the Secretary<lb />of Minority Affairs which is a permanent<lb />office in the SGA Executive.<lb /><lb />Sylvia Hill says she was misinformed<lb />about the time when the SGA Elections<lb />Committee would hold screenings to select<lb />a new representative for Fletcher dorm.<lb /><lb />Because of the information, Hill was<lb />not present at the screening and another<lb />student, Joan Johnson, was chosen.<lb /><lb />Hill received her information from<lb />Denise Valet, who is chairman of the<lb /><lb />SGA Elections Committee.<lb /><lb />Valet said she gave Hill the right<lb />information.<lb /><lb />~~| feel like if she misunderstood me,<lb />she could have called me and verified it,TT<lb />said Valet.<lb /><lb />Hill said she and Valet were in contact<lb />on Monday, Nov. 1. At that time, o~she said<lb />the screening would be Thursday, (Nov. 4).<lb />She would call me Wednesday at 4:30 to let<lb />me know what time they would be held,�T<lb />Hill said.<lb /><lb />~~| waited by the phone but she never<lb />called.T<lb /><lb />Hill said she called Valet the next day.<lb />Valet told her the screening had been held<lb />and a new person was chosen.<lb /><lb />Valet said she thought she made it clear<lb />to Hill that the meeting would be 4:30<lb />on Wed., Nov. 3<lb /><lb />~oWe waited until 5 o clock for her, but<lb />she didnTt show up,TT said Valet.<lb /><lb />Valet said as far as she is concerned,<lb />the matter is closed. And the SGA<lb />Legislature, in approving the committeeTs<lb />selection, confirms ValetTs statement.<lb /><lb />The whole matter began when a<lb />mistake appeared on the Oct. 24 election<lb />ballot for Fletcher dorm representative.<lb /><lb />A special election was being held to fill<lb />legislative vacancies in the dorms.<lb /><lb />Hill and Joan Johnson competed for the<lb />vacancy in Fletcher. Their names appeared<lb />on the ballot with instructions to vote for<lb />two. The election had to be thrown out.<lb /><lb />The Elections Committee decided to<lb />hold a screening rather than a new<lb />election. Johnson was selected by the<lb />committee after Hill did not show up.<lb /><lb />HillTs agrument was presented to the<lb />Legislature by Dalton Nicholson, president<lb />of SOULS (Society of United Liberal<lb />Students).<lb /><lb />The decision of the Election Committee<lb />was presented by Denise Valet, chairman<lb />of the SGA Elections Committee.<lb /><lb />About five legislators voted to reject the<lb />committeeTs decision, according to Nichol-<lb />Son<lb /><lb /></p>

          <lb />2 EBONY HERALD/VOL. III, NO. 4/NOVEMBER 1976<lb /><lb />ECU practices nondiscrimination<lb /><lb />East Carolina University, an Equal<lb />Opportunity Employer, is a phrase fre-<lb />quently seen around campus and on ECU<lb />official stationary and announcements.<lb /><lb />The phrase is not just rhetoric to<lb />appease federal officials, according to Dr.<lb />David B. Stevens, director of the Equal<lb />Opportunity Programs (EOP) at ECU.<lb /><lb />The phrase is representative of nondis-<lb />criminatory and affirmative action the<lb />University undertakes in recruiting and<lb />hiring minority faculty and staff.<lb /><lb />These hiring practices have resulted in<lb />over 50 minority faculty members at ECU,<lb />22 of which are black.<lb /><lb />Five programs are under the EOP,<lb />according to Stevens.<lb /><lb />Included are o~The ECU Affirmative<lb />Action Program for Equal Opportunities,�T<lb />~~The State Desegregation Plan,TT and<lb />~~The Title IX Plan under the Educational<lb />Amendments Act of 1972.�T<lb /><lb />Also, ~~The Vietnam Era Veterans Act<lb />of 1974,TT and ~~The Equal Opportunity for<lb />the HandicapTT under sections 503 and 504<lb />of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are under<lb />the EOP.<lb /><lb />The first two programs prohibit dis-<lb />crimination based on race, color, religion,<lb />sex or national origin. They are designed to<lb />protect blacks, Hispanics, American<lb />Indians, and Asiatic Americans.<lb /><lb />In addition to prohibiting discrimin-<lb />ation, the programs call for affirmative<lb />action.<lb /><lb />Nondiscrimination requires the elim-<lb />ination of all existing discriminatory con-<lb /><lb />House ladies<lb />go unnoticed<lb /><lb />By TONI HARRIS<lb />Staff Writer<lb /><lb />Among the lists of appreciation and<lb />congradulations the house ladies are often<lb />omitted. The house ladies, not ~~maidsTT<lb /><lb />are a very vital part of the universityT s<lb />Staff.<lb /><lb />~ MARY WILKES<lb />ECU Maid<lb /><lb />The house ladies work a very packed<lb />eight hour day. Some of the ladies have<lb />been working here for over thirty years.<lb />And in the morning some of the ladies ride<lb />in the elevator without being spoken to or<lb />even noticed. It isamazing how the slogan,<lb />~~lTm proud to be BlackTT is used so often.<lb />Yet, our own adults receive no respect from<lb />all of us.<lb /><lb />ditions whether purposeful or inadvertent,<lb />according to Stevens.<lb /><lb />Affirmative Action is essentially the<lb />revision of standards and practices to<lb />assure that institutions are in fact drawing<lb />from the largest market place of human<lb />resources in staffing.<lb /><lb />It also requires the employer to make<lb />additional efforts to recruit, employ, and<lb />promote female and minority members,<lb />said Stevens.<lb /><lb />To recruit minority faculty, ECU<lb />advertises in publications such as ~~ Equal<lb />Opportunity ForumTT which are aimed at<lb />qualified minority applicants. Each week,<lb />the university registers both staff and<lb />faculty vacancies with the Economic<lb />Security Commission.<lb /><lb />Also, ECU contacts qualified minority<lb />applicants graduating from predominantly<lb />black universities.<lb /><lb />And, helping to accommodate faculty<lb />members in the University of North<lb />Carolina system who want to change<lb />schools, ECU registers with the Central<lb />Faculty Registry of the UNC. This provides<lb />for transfers within the UNC system.<lb /><lb />Student recruitment is handed through<lb />Admissions Office. Much of it is handled<lb />by Glenn Lewis, assistant dean of<lb />admissions.<lb /><lb />In recruiting students, Lewis conducts<lb />Post Secondary Opportunity sessions at<lb />different high schools. Lewis's recruting<lb />efforts also include corresponding with<lb />students, counselors, and parents.<lb /><lb />HATTIE BELL<lb />ECU Maid<lb /><lb />While talking to the ladies, they<lb /><lb />commented on the unnecessary work<lb />caused by unclean students. ~~There is<lb />Spaghetti in the sinks when the garbage<lb />can is right in the room,TT said one of the<lb />ladies in White Dorm. The ladies, full of<lb />laughs, but tired from work, feel as though<lb />some of the girls are their own. One of the<lb />ladies in Fletcher dorm said she often<lb />sends the girls back to get sweaters and<lb />�,�ven coats on windy days.<lb /><lb />The love and care that the house ladies<lb />give is not very common. Yet they give so<lb />much and receive so little in return. Where<lb />is all of the love that is part of being Black.T<lb />The next time a house lady passes by, a<lb />warm hello and a loving thank you can help<lb />make their day a little brighter.<lb /><lb />Letters to the editor may be sent to EBONY<lb />HERALD, c/o Secretary of Minority Affairs<lb />_ Affairsm Mendenhall Student Center,<lb /><lb />: Greenville, N.C. 27834<lb /><lb />Stevens said each program has already<lb />surpassed the goals set for it.<lb /><lb />In 1972 when the programs were<lb />Started, less than 50 black students and<lb />only two black professors were at ECU.<lb />Now, approximately 600 black students<lb />and 22 black faculty members are here.<lb /><lb />Stevens said ECu has not been accused<lb />of reverse discrimination while conducting<lb />its affirmative action. He attributes that<lb /><lb />success to the schoolTs policy of never<lb />sacrificing quality when hiring faculty and<lb />staff.<lb /><lb />Jones chosen runner-up<lb />as Homecoming Pirate<lb /><lb />By LINDA CLARK<lb />Staff Writer<lb /><lb />Pat Jones was first runner-up for ECU<lb />Homecoming Pirate. Her nomination was<lb />unique in that she represented both Phi<lb /><lb />PAT JONES, Homecoming Pirate<lb />First Runner-up.<lb /><lb />Beta Lambda, the business honor fratern-<lb />ity, of which she is president, and<lb />S.0.U.L.S.<lb /><lb />Jones feels that it was an accomplish-<lb />ment for the blacks at ECU. ~~My being<lb />first runner-up was a result of the unity<lb />among the blacks here,TT she said. ~~I<lb />believe that they would have supported<lb /><lb />S.0.U.L.S.Ts representative, whomever<lb />she had been. Although | received votes<lb />from white students, | donTt think | would<lb />have come so close to winning without the<lb />support of the blacks.TT<lb /><lb />Jones continued to express her joy and<lb />excitement, saying that she was happy<lb />with her accomplishment, and she felt a<lb />family closeness to blacks on campus that<lb />weekend.<lb /><lb />~~My mother wanted me to give her<lb />thanks to the blacks and all those who have<lb />done so much for me since ITve attended<lb />oa T? she added, ~~and | thank all of<lb /><lb />Freshmen encounter<lb />several problems<lb /><lb />ARAH VENABLE<lb />Staff Writer<lb /><lb />As fall quarter comes to an end, black<lb />freshmen look back at this first quarter of<lb />college life to state the difficulties that they<lb />encountered in coming to a new school,<lb />meeting new people, adjusting to a new<lb />environment and taking on new respon-<lb />sibilities.<lb /><lb />Some freshmen found drop-add con-<lb />fusing, frustrating, and altogether a very<lb />trying experience. Cheryl Russell said the<lb />advisors were not of much help. ~~They just<lb />sign the sheet and tell you to turn in your<lb />folder,TT she commented.<lb /><lb />~Getting what you want when you<lb />pre-register is a problem,TT said Sheila<lb />Keaton. ~~In some courses they give upper-<lb />classmen priority.T Sometimes freshman<lb />will register for a course just to get the<lb />hours, according to Keaton. This, she said,<lb />may hurt the situation more than help.<lb /><lb />Donna Hurst feels that often freshmen<lb />are unsure of the courses needed for an<lb />intended major. &amp; found that the<lb />catalogue does not outline the courses that<lb />should be taken for those in general college<lb />as well as the summary for music majors,<lb />business majors and others.<lb /><lb />Wanda Casterian stated that her main<lb />problem as a freshman was learning her<lb />way around campus. ~~Students that didnTt<lb />attend orientation were doubly confused,<lb />because everything seemed foreign to<lb />them,TT she said.<lb /><lb />Now that freshmen have been at ECU<lb />for three months, they have become aware<lb />of other problems.<lb /><lb />The majority of freshmen feel social life<lb />for blacks is limited to the campus. There<lb />are few clubs and activities which stimulate<lb />the interest of black students just out of<lb />high school, and because of this some<lb />freshmen admit to be lonely at times.<lb /><lb />Keaton said sometimes she feels<lb />pressured into speaking to upperclassmen.<lb />~If you donTt speak they call you stuck-up,<lb />but generally everyone is pretty friendly.�T<lb /><lb />o~The teacher-student relationship is<lb />different from high school,TT said Glenda<lb />Epon. o~Here, the teachers take it for<lb />granted that you know something, when<lb />youre not really aware of what is going<lb />on.�T<lb /><lb />Velma Jackson, a junior, feels that<lb />fresnmen are not made aware of the<lb />different financial aid programs such as the<lb />WRC, Mendenhall, and Sarah E.

        <p>EBONY HERALD/VOL. Ill, NO. 4/NOVEMBER 1976 3<lb /><lb />Entertainment<lb /><lb />Stevie Wonder, key in<lb />~Songs in the Key of LifeT<lb /><lb />And he stepped into a recording studio, and said, | have<lb /><lb />something to say, |TIll make me an album. And when Stevie was<lb />_ finished, he had created, o~Songs in the Key of LifeTT.<lb /><lb />~*SongsTT is a two album package plus an extended play single<lb />containing two songs on each side. Some critics have already<lb />declared the release the album of the year. (Paul Simon was first.<lb />Last year when he accepted his Grammy for album of the year,<lb />Simon said, o~! would like to thank Stevie Wonder for not recording<lb />an album.TT)<lb /><lb />In actuality, ~oSongsTT was already recorded at the time. But,<lb />Motown would not release it until they were positive their finances<lb />could support StevieTs new seven-year $13 million dollar contract.<lb /><lb />It appears Motown had nothing to worry about. ~~SongsTT<lb />shipped platinum. It was guaranteed to sell a million copies even<lb />before it was released -- before anyone heard it. In Motown<lb />arithmetic, one million copies equals $13,980,000 since the albumT s<lb />suggested retail price is $13.98, or $4.00 more than other standard<lb />albums. (The album also contains a book with the words and credits<lb />to all the songs.)<lb /><lb />~*SongsTT really shows StevieT s geniousness. Not only did Stevie<lb />write, produce, arrange and compose most of the songs, he also did<lb />the lead vocals too. Interesting enough, the ~~SongsTT released last<lb />month is not the same ~~SongsTT album of two years when it was<lb />supposed to be released. During the contract negotiations, Stevie<lb />abandoned the album he had recorded and began recording again.<lb /><lb />When it was released, it surpassed the accomplishment of any<lb />previous albums by any artists.<lb /><lb />~~SongsTT entered the charts in the number one position, in<lb />Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World magazines during its first<lb />week.<lb /><lb />Only Elton JohnTs ~o~Capatin FantasticT and ~~Rock of the<lb />WestiesT have had such distinction. However, Elton JohnTs<lb />albums were only single album packages where StevieTs album is a<lb />double album package and it carries an extremely high price tag.<lb /><lb />~oSongsTT also entered in the number one position in Bi//boardTs<lb />SOUL Albums Charts - the first album to do so.<lb /><lb />~~SongsTT could have very well been titled, ~~/nnervisions II1TT if<lb />~~FulfillingnessTT had been titled ~~/nnervisions I1TT (which would<lb />have been appropriate for it).<lb /><lb />The material deals with StevieTs inner self. Songs such as<lb />~Lave a Talk with GodTT, ~~LoveTsin Need of Love TodayTT, and ~~If<lb />ItTs MagicT, reflect this aspect.<lb /><lb />He dabs in social commentary songs with ~~Village Ghetto<lb />Land,TT and ~~The Black ManTT. ~~Village Ghetto LandTT probably<lb />has the most meaningful lyrics on the whole album. After<lb />explaining the conditions in the ghettoes, Stevie closes the song<lb />with ~~Some people say we (in the village ghetto land) should<lb />be/Glad with what we have/ Tell me would you be happy in Village<lb />Ghetto Land.TT<lb /><lb />Another aspect of the album is its love songs and songs which<lb />are a tribute to the ladies. Such songs include o~ Knocks Me Off My<lb />FeetT, ~~Joy Inside My TearsT, and ~~Ebony EyesT. |<lb /><lb />Stevie sings of joy and of love. He sings of his inner self.<lb /><lb />An outstanding dimension of the album is the music. Stevie is<lb />able to cross mucical boundaries of pop, gospel and easy listening<lb />better than it has been done before. He takes words appropriate for<lb />a gospel soul song and makes them light enough to be an easy<lb />listening song. He bridges the gap between all forms of music. He<lb />also abandons the dependence on the bass guitar which is<lb />prevalent in most soul music.<lb /><lb />The most popular songs on the album now are the disco<lb />flavored, ~~IsnTt She LovelyT, ~~l WishT, a tribute to musical<lb />pioneers time will not allow us to forget, oSir DukeT, and an<lb />instrumental ~~ContusionTT . 7<lb /><lb />~««Songs in the K ey of LifeTT is only a conglomerate of thought in<lb />my subconsicous that my Maker decided to give me the strength,<lb />the love plus love minus hate equals love energy making It possible<lb />for me to bring to my conscious an idea,TT Stevie says in the lyric<lb />book.<lb /><lb />Stevie already has over two hundred songs recorded for future<lb />albums.<lb /><lb />Stevie says his mind is occupied with music and words. Writing<lb />clears his brain, making room for other sounds to enter.<lb /><lb />Ang again he stepped into a recording studio, and said, | need<lb />another album, ~~better than the othersT. And when he was<lb />finished, he had created ... �T<lb /><lb />Kenneth Campbell<lb /><lb />A mandatory staff meeting of EH willbe held<lb />Nov. 30 in 248 Mendenhall.

CAROLINA UNIVERSITY, GREENVILLE, N.C. 27834<lb /><lb />Sports<lb />Hoop loop time here again<lb /><lb />LOUIS CROSBY fires again,<lb />sophomore, forward/guard.<lb /><lb />Furman loss<lb />critical<lb /><lb />Last Saturday's loss to Furman was a<lb /><lb />very critical one for the ECU PiratesT<lb />football team. A win would have clinched<lb />the conference crown for the Pirates.<lb /><lb />The Pirate loss Saturday sets up a<lb />championship game on Thanksgiving Day<lb />against the Appalachian State University<lb />Mountaineers.<lb /><lb />Instead of playing the final regular<lb />season game as conference champions the<lb />team has to go out and work one more<lb />game before they accept their crown.<lb /><lb />Originally scheduled for Nov. 20, the<lb />date was changed to Thanksgiving Day to<lb />insure televised coverage.<lb /><lb />Undoubtedly Appalachian will come to<lb />Greenville ~sky highT emotionally anxicus<lb />to defeat the Pirates. It will be Appar 3<lb />~chianTs second shot at the title as well as<lb />the Pirates. Another plus for the Moun-<lb />taineers is that they beat the Pirates for the<lb />last couple of years. Also the Mountaineer<lb />star quarterback Robbie Price is back in the<lb />starting lineup.<lb /><lb />ECUTs record stands at 8-2. The loss to<lb />Furman hurt the teamTs chances of<lb />receiving a major bowl invitation.<lb /><lb />The Furman game was really the first<lb />time the team didnTt look like the winning<lb />Pirates we know.<lb /><lb />Coach Pat Dye stresses senior leader-<lb />ship, and leadership from all his players.<lb />With the outstanding seniors, ECU boasts<lb />the Pirates will definitely be prepared for<lb />ASU.<lb /><lb />With Pat DyeTs football Pirates on the<lb />verge of winning the Southern Conference<lb />championship, Coach Dave Patton and his<lb />troops are preparing to continue the<lb />winning way in Greenville on the basket-<lb />ball court.<lb /><lb />The first game of the season is Nov. 29<lb />against UNC-Asheville, in Minges<lb />Coliseum.<lb /><lb />The Pirates feature many new faces this<lb />year. Their challenge is to improve last<lb />yearTs 11-15 record. With very capable and<lb />talented veterans such as Larry Hunt,<lb />Louis Crosby and Ty Edwards, the<lb />challenge should be met with tremendous<lb />success in as few as 12 or 15 games.<lb /><lb />Hunt is starting for his third year. He<lb />will be counted on heavily as a performer<lb />and as a leader.<lb /><lb />The Sophomore duo of Ty Edwards and<lb />Lou Crosby are really ready to show what<lb />~taking it tothe hoopT is all about. Ty never<lb />really got started last year. He was often<lb />plagued with injury or illness. But he is<lb />well and good now, and the Pirates are<lb />boasting a new Ty Edwards this season.<lb /><lb />Meanwhile, Lou Crosby is ready to<lb />stake his claim as one of the premier<lb />players in the<lb />is no doubt that he has unlimited potential<lb />and he is ready to roll.<lb /><lb />Completing the soul team is Herb Gray,<lb />a 68 freshman from the Washington,<lb />D.C. area. Herb was highly recruited. He<lb />should add the needed depth of the team.<lb /><lb />With ECU seeking admission to the<lb />Atlantic ~Coast Conference, this season<lb />presents the basketball program with a<lb />great challenge. The Pirates have already<lb /><lb />proven themselves competitive in the two<lb />other major college sports -- football and<lb />baseball.<lb /><lb />LARRY HUNT, senior, center/<lb />forward.<lb /><lb />The seniors have something special to<lb />play for, since the teamTs bowl appearance<lb />has been darkened. The Appalachian game<lb />may be the last for the PiratesT seniors.<lb />Witha victory meaning the conference<lb />championship, they will enjoy going out<lb />winners.<lb /><lb />Thanksgiving Day is always a special<lb />holiday, but this year it holds an added<lb />attraction for some 90 plus young en<lb />who've been working hard since August to<lb />achieve what is now at hand, the<lb />conference championship.<lb /><lb />Southern Conference. There<lb /><lb />TYRONE EDWARDS, ~the Jolly<lb />GiantT, sophomore, center.<lb /><lb />Nick Bullock<lb /><lb />inspirational<lb />as leader<lb /><lb />Another integral part of the ball team is<lb />Nick Bullock. Also a senior, Bullock has<lb />special feelings about the team.<lb /><lb />~itTs hard for me to put my feelings<lb />about this team into words,TT he said. o~lTve<lb />never been around a bunch of guys who the<lb />game of football means so much to.<lb /><lb />oItTs a great feeling to be associated<lb />with the type of players we have on our<lb />team.<lb /><lb />oWhen you are out there on the field<lb />with these guys, you know something good<lb />is going to happen, and you do have to<lb />worry about making mistakes. If you make<lb />one, somebody is going to cover for you.�T<lb /><lb />Bullock, expressing his appreciation for<lb />the fansT support this season said, ~~They<lb /><lb />NICK BULLOCK, nose guard.<lb /><lb />REGGIE PINK NE Y,<lb />Pirate.<lb /><lb />outstanding<lb /><lb />A very special part of the grid iron<lb />Pirates is Reggie Pinkney, a four year, 6-0,<lb />190 pound starter. Pinkney has some<lb />special feelings about this yearTs team, too.<lb />He believes the seniors have contributed so<lb />much to the team, and he is just glad to be<lb />a part of it.<lb /><lb />Pinkney ranks high in the Southern<lb />Conference standings, with six inter-<lb />ceptions this season. Against Richmond,<lb />Pinkney set a record with a 98 yard<lb />interception run back. Later in the game,<lb />he returned another interception for over<lb />forty yards.<lb /><lb />Pinkney has been invited to play in the<lb />North-South All-Star game in December.<lb /><lb />hung with us through the good and bad<lb />times. To have fans like that is great. |<lb />would like to say to them, ~thanks a lotT!TT<lb /><lb />Bullock has proven himself a winner on<lb />and off the field during his four years as a<lb />Pirate. His greatest contribution to this<lb />yearTs team may be his leadership ability.<lb /><lb />He said his great moment as a Pirate<lb />will be when the Pirates win the Southern<lb />Conference championship this year. And<lb />when the championship rings are passed<lb />out, no one will be more deserving of his<lb />than Nick Bullock.<lb /><lb />Writers<lb />needed<lb /><lb />see any staff<lb />member<lb /><lb />SOULS meetingsare<lb />held the second<lb />Thursday night<lb />of each month<lb /></p>
