Audio-Visual Department
Aids Students
By Angela Garris
f Writer
Most students have term
papers and class presenta-
tions which require the use
of the library. The
Audiovisual Department
(Audio Visual,Computer
Assisted Instruction,Micro
Form) of the Health Science
~Library which is located in
the Brody Building offers a
variety of resources that can
make projects more appeal- |
ing and reinforce class lec-
tures.

East Carolina University
actively seeks to promote
racial integration by
employing a larger number
of black faculty members.
_ But, the number of black
professors that ECU cur-
rently employs were
recruited by the University:
in 1974, during the pro-
gressive turn of the Affir-
mative Action Movement.
There has not been a large
mass of blacks hired since.
Although this program is in
effect, the professors were
hired on their credentials
and strive to achieve ex-
cellence for all their
students, and promote
black awareness at the
University.
Dr. Charlie Davis is in
the Department of
~Psychology. She recieved
her B.A. in Psychology
The films, slides, and
journals cover topics con-
cerning child development
and education, public con-
servation, law, communica-
tions, management, and
other professions in addi-
tion to medical professions.
There are also films pertain-
ing to stress, burnout, and
other general health con-
cerns such as child birth and
cancer, that would be of in-
terest to faculty and
students,as well as the
general public.
According to Kathy
Chan, head of the AV_
the library
Department,
from the Universityof Pro-
vidence, and her M.A. in
Clinical Psychology at the
University of Cincinnati.
She also holds a Ph.D.
from the latter institution.
Dr. Davis attended the
University of Cincinnati as
a student and has alter-:
natively taught there as well
as at ECU. |
When asked what some
significant differences bet-
ween the University of Cin-
cinnati and ECU are, Dr.
Davis stated, ~~One obvious
difference is location. UC
is a larger university than
ECU. It has a more diver-
sified population. Interac- -
tion is common and fre-
quent with young, middle-
age, and old students. Fur-
thermore, the percentage of
black students at UC and
_ ECU are the same, but UC
has more functional and
obvious vehicles for black
studentTs needs. Also, it
handles inter-library loans
that extend throughout the
state and also have net-
works that cover a large
part of the United States.
The AV Department pro-
vides Apple and IBM com-
puter terminals for student
use. There is equipment for
making transparencies,
slides, and photocopies.
The AV Department is an
excellent resource that
should not be overlooked
when preparing for term
papers and class presenta-
tions.
has more black faculty
members and ad-
ministrators.TT Dr. Davis
adds, ~~The committment
may be identical, but the
outcome is completely dif-
ferent.TT
Dr. Clinton Downing is
in the Graduate Depart-
ment of Educational Ad-
ministration and Supervi-
sion. He recieved his B.A.
and M..,. from N.C.
Agricultural and Technical
State University, and holds
a Ph.D. from Duke Univer-
sity. Dr. Downing was
hired at ECU in 1974. Prior
to this, he worked as.a
vocational teacher, then a
high school principal. He
also worked with the State
Department of Public In-
_, struction in Raleigh as a
consultant from 1966 to
1974. When asked what a
major advantage of
teaching at ECU was, Dr.
Downing replied, ~*A major

advantage is that it gives
mniority students someone
to admire in my field of
study and at the same time I
am furthering the good of
the integration process at :
ECU in my department.TT
Dr. Joyce Pettis has been in
the Department of English
since 1974. She recieved her
B.A. from Winston-Salem
State University and has a
M.A. from ECU. She
recieved her Ph.D. from
UNC-Chapel Hill. How
does she view herself as an
instructor? She states, ~~I
am a hard worker who
wants my students to learn
all the material presented. I
like to think that I inspire
them to extend the work of
the course sas after the
semester ends.T
Dr. Jasper ee is in the
Department of Sociology,
Anthropology, -and
Economics. He recieved his
B.A. from Morehouse Col-
lege in Georgia. He earned
his M.A. and Ph.D. from
Kentucky University. He "
also attended the University "
of Edinbourgh in Scotland ©
for one year. Before com- |
ing to ECU in 1974, Dr. "
Register taught at Stillman |
College in Alabama, which "
is a predominantly black in- |
stution. He taughtT at "
another all black college in "
Ohio. When asked, what is "
significant difference in "
teaching at predominantly |
black and predominantly
_white schools, Dr. Register.
replied, ~~black students
literally make a_ small
percentage at ECU. This
makes them seem limited to

socially than at

tions, which in one aspect is
not good for the learning

Halidicapved Student Services:
Providing Aid To Students
By Teresa Wright
Staff Writer
~o~The key thing to
remember,TT says C.C.
Rowe, Coordinator of Han-
dicapped Student Services,
~Sis that the services we pro-
vide are on an individual
basis. Our main objective is
to make reasonable ac- .
comodations in order that
campus programs and ser-
vices are accesible to disabl-
ed students.�T
Rowe stressed that the
services his office provides "
are adjusted to each in-
dividualTs needs. They pro-
vide services for students
who are in. wheelchairs,
visually impaired, hearing
impaired, learning disabied,
and any other disabled

Norway is his home. With
a population of about
250,000, Bergen is one of
the biggest cities in western
Norway...
Upon his arrival in the
United States three weeks
ago, Olav found ~~everyone
in North Carolina smiling
and helpful.TT He likes both |
the atmosphere and the
people here.
When asked why he.
chose to come to ECU he
cited severai reasons. One
reason is that there are not
many schools like ECU in
Norway. He also came here
o~to meet all kinds of people
and because the United
States is the biggest business
center in the world. -
Everyone wants to come to
the United States at least
once. ItTs fantastic to be
here,TT he adds.
~University has about 110 to
125 handicapped students.
The handicapped Student
Service is identified in every
major publication on
_ ECUTs campus. .o~It is vir-
tually impossible for
students to not be aware of
our office,T? Rowe says.
Although his office makes
an effort to identify han-
dicapped students, the
responsibility rests with the
students to identify
themselves.
According to Rowe,
Much progress has been
~made in regard to recent im-
provements in ac-
_cessibilities. Most buildings
have ramps which provide |
~ access to the first floor.
Students are provided with
a map that indicates which
buildings are completely ac-
cessible and which ones are
partially accessible, as well
as where all the curb cuts,
_ parking spaces, and en-
trances to buildings are
located. A large amount of
money has been spent on in- =

transit system in that it pro-

Olav cited one major dif-
ference between Norwegian
and American schools.
Students here are closer
because the schools in Nor-
way lack the activities
which bring students at
ECU closer contact.
At present, Olav is
undecided as to how long he
will stay in the U.S. or
whether he will return to
Norway.

Swimmers Have High
By Patti Hiner
Sports Editor
~~Working to get to the
top develops pride and stay-
ing there _ builds
traditionTT--this is the motto
of the ECU Swim Team.
Jeff Brown, sophomore
nursing major from. Fayet-
teville, and Ronald Flem-
ing, freshman accounting
major from Petersburg,
Virginia are two members
who are determined to
make this motto a reality.
Both attribute their swimm-
ing ability to God--o~ItTs a.
God-given talent,TT says
Jeff. ~~Without Him I
wouldnTt be where I am to-
~day.TT They also cited the
support of their families
and communities as vital in
the development of their
swimming careers. Swimm-
ing is not a sport which is
charactericstically
associated with black
athletes, but these two men
could be forging a new area
for young hopefuls.
Jeff Brown, as a
freshman, was the firs
black swimmer on ECUTs
team. When he first arrived
he realized there was a great
pressure upon him to prove
to himself and to,the other
black students on campus
that he could be a source of
_ admiration and pride. Jeff
began swimming. com-
petitively at the age of eight
with the AquaDragons at
Fort Bragg. During his
junior and senior. year of
high school he swam with
the E.E. Smith team in
Fayetteville. In the 1975-76
Junior Olympics Jeff plac-
ed in the top ten, he was
78th in the N.C. Junior
Olympics, and he reached
the 1981 N.C. Regionals in
High Point. In competi-
tion, Jeff is mainly a 50 to
100 meter Free Style and
Relay swimmer.
Ronald Fleming,
recruit and roommate of
Jeff, started swimming at
the Fort Lee Army Base
when he was twelve years
old and then progressed to
the AAU-YMCA Tritons
Swim Team in Petersburg.
His achievements include
placing in the top 25 for the |
Relay in the 13-14 age divi-
sion, YMCA Junior Na-
tionals for the last two years -
where he was the first black
to attain this honor, and
qualifying in the 100 meter
Breast at the National
Junior Olympics in In-
_ freshmen,
new
dianapolis, Indiana. His
principal strokes are the
Breast .and Free Style.
Ronald commented that he
didnTt recieve much respect
or recognition until he plac-
ed in the Juniot Nationals
in his senior year. Though
he would often miss a week
of school for competition -
his teachers would ask
about the results of the
meets. He trained at an all
black school and many
students would come to
watch him practice and add
their interest and support. ~
Swimming, as with any
other sport, requires
sacrifice --o~YouTve got to
have a good mind for swim-
ming,TT syas Jeff, and
Ronald adds ~~YouTve got
to swim through the pain of
cramps and knee injuries.�T
This sacrifice is reflected in
a long season that lasts
~from September to March--
far more extensive than the
football season, and in their
rigorous training: schedule.
In pre-season, starting
around September 4, the
team members are required |
to begin running a mile and
a half which later builds up
to five miles. Teusdays and
Thursdays they lift weights
for three and a half hours in
the afternoon. The swim
practice includes Monday,
- Wednesday, and Friday ses-
sions at 6:00 a.m. and two
and half hours in the after-
noon, Saturday morning
practice from eight to ten
plus weightlifting for one to
two hours. In, addition,
they do at least 200 sit-ups
daily and they usher for
football games to raise
money for travel.
If this isnTt enough, the
members, especially
have a man-
datory study hall Sunday
through Thursday nights
fron 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. They
are consideted ~~student-
athletesTT and academics are
stressed by providing tutors
if they are needed and
checking on study habits.
Both Jeff and Ronald com-
mented that they wished
that ECU Swimming reciev-
ed as much recognition and
exposure as the sports of:
football, basketball, and
baseball.
Team unity is essential.
Jeff noted that he is treated
as a person by the other
team members and _ has
never had any problems and
Ronald added, ~~It doesnTt
bother .me that ITm black.T�
The .team says prayers
before,their meetings which
re-emphasizes JeffTs and
RonaldTs affirmation of the
relation between sports and
religion. The coach Rick
Kobe who has been at ECU
for three years is a vital part
of the team unity. ~ ~~He is
both a friend and a coach,TT
says Jeff.
The immediate goals for.
Jeff and Ronald include
helping to win the team
championships and reciev-
ing letters. Ronald hopes to
qualify as a junior or senior
in the NCAA Senior Na--
tionals. and to place in the
top eight of the 100 and-260 -
meter Breast at the Eastern.
Championships to be held
in Cleveland, Ohio during
spring break. Jeff also
strives to place high in the
50 meter Free Style, yet his
career in swimming is far
more extensive in the
future. He still plans to be
swimming at the age of
eighty and to have reached
the status of a master suam-
pion in master swimming.
For these dedicated men
who rise as early as 5:30
a.m. to practice and still
manage to maintain a level
of excellence as students, it
appears that they will ob-
tain and even surpass their
goals on a team and per-
sonal level. .

- Ebony Herald To Work
- Closer With New Media
Board |
By Chrystal Fray
General Manager "
An article in a recent |
issue of the East Carolinian
which reported the election
of a new Media Board
chairman met mixed reac-
tions among some Ebony
Herald staff members.
The article reported new
chairman, Glen Conway as
stating his intentions to
-work with the Ebony
Herald to improve its con-
dition. He also stated ~~I
still expect a paper to be out
on the 17th.TT
As of September 10, the
Ebony Herald staff had not _
received approval for pro-
duction of its newspaper.
Two. general managers had
resigned their positions,
and the remaining staff was
advised by the Media Board
secretary, Kay Galloway, to
cease production pending ~
further notice.
Late Monday, newly
elected Glenn Conway in-
formed acting General "
Manager, Chrystal. Fray
and Business Manager, An-
tionette Gibbs that tem-
porary approval had been
granted. The Ebony Herald
proceeded according to its
production schedule.
Paper production began in
late August, but ceased
after ~~then actingTT General
John Deaver |
Manager,
resigned. Supplies could not
be ordered and staff payroll
was not submitted on time.
Business Manager, An-
tionette Gibbs feels that
better communication and
_ more opportunities for The
Ebony Herald to represent .
itself could have eliminated
the delay in production.
~o~We were not aware that
- the Media Board meeting
was on that day. We had
_ not been given the go ahead
for production and all of a
sudden some guy walks into
the office and tells us to hire
a staff and put out a paper
in seven days,�T she said.
According to Gibbs,
several members of the staff
have accepted non-paying
positions. They are work-
ing, she says, because of an
interest in journalism and
to insure that The Ebony
Herald continues to be
published.
~o~In the past, critics had
been quick to place blame
for. the quality of The
Ebony Herald and eager to
take credit for any im-
provements the paper has |
made,TT she adds.
oEven though we have
had little support from the
Media Board in organizing
and training an ail new
staff, some members of the
Board have been helpful.
WeTre hoping that with a
new year and a new staff,
we can work more closely
with the Board in ac-
complishing our goal,
_which is to produce a better
than ever Ebony Herald.�T
Gibbs also feels that since
Glenn Conway himself isT
new, he will understand a
need for better communica-
tion between the new Ebony
Herald staff and the Media
Board.

a good year,TT said Media
Board chairman Glenn
Conway was
manship after former chair-
man Mark NiewaldTs term
ended.
According to Conway,
things at the East Caroli-
nian are running smoothly,
however, the resignations
of WZMBT s general
manager Jim Ensor and the
Ebony HeraldTs general
manager Ruben Ingram are
some of the problems that
have confronted the board.
Presently, the Media
Board has appointed
Crystal Fray as acting
general manager of the.
Ebony Herald. Conway
says that the Ebony Herald
has suffered some because
it was not able to operate
without a general manager.
~*I canTt wait to see the next
issue of the Ebony Herald.
ITm very optimistic. I think
that it will be a good paper
and if itTs good, thatTs a
reflection on the Media
Board and if itTs not good
thatTs also a reflection on
the board,TT says Conway.
In addition, Conway
stated that the current Buc-
caneer is right on schedule
and if it falls behind
schedule it could be due to
the fact that the Photo Lab
was not able to operate dur-
ing the renovation of Flem-
ing dormitory. He says the
photo lab is temporarily
operating out of
Mendenhall and it should
be back to its regular loca-
tion by next week. ~~The
wheels are in motion and
things are being taken care
of,T? commented Conway.
