Fountainhead Vol. 52, No. 33 )n East Carolina University Greenville, North Carolina 8 February 1977 ON THE INSIDE SGA forump. 3 Gas crisis?p. 8 Gymnastics p. 14 East Carolina University Greenville, North Carolina 8 February 1977 SGA alters test return proposal By JACK LAIL Staff Writer The SGA legislature passed an amendment to a resolution calling for professors to return tests in a specified period, during the regular Monday night meeting Feb. 7. The resolution for the Faculty-Senate, passed two weeks ago, asks professors to return tests within ten days in five hour courses and six days in three hour courses. The amendment asks that major tests be returned before another major test is given. "Students are getting teed off by not getting tests back said Philip Barbee, sponsor of the resolution. "It will let them know, because some teachers are apathetic The legislature passed the resolution and amendment unani- mously In other business the Greenville City Council will consider an ordinance banning charity solicitations on the streets, later this month, according to Tim Sullivan, SGA president. He plans to contact the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and other fund raising groups on campus to get their reaction before the ordinance comes before the city council. Sullivan suggested that legislators print up newsletters to keep students aware of SGA activities, such as the BUCCANEER and retreats. The legislature appropriated $300 to the Student Dietetic Association (SDA) for a trip to Atlanta, Ga. The SDA was able to raise the rest of the $2,000 needed fa the trip. The trip will allow students to look for jobs, according to Legislator Craig Hales. SGA Vice President Greg Pingston urged students to apply for the Spring elections chairperson post. "Anyone who wishes to apply must do so by 5 p.m Thursday said Pingston. "The job pays $75 and screenings will be on Friday. Ranks nationally Budget tops $300,000 ByNEILSESSOMS News Editor The East Carolina Student Government Association (SGA) collects, controls, and disperses over $300,000 per year, one of the top three student government budgets in the United States. This sum comes from $80,000 per quarter in student fees and from revenue of the FOUNTAIN- HEAD, BUCCANEER, EBONY HERALD, WECU, and the ECU Play House, according to Tommy Thomason, SGA Treasurer. "The other sources of revenue are minimal compared to the $80,000 per quarter from student fees said Thomason. Every Fall, Winter, and Spring quarter, $8.50 of each student's fees is delegated to the SGA, said Thomason. The amount drops to $3.20 for each Summer session. The figures were reached by the board of trustees. Combined with the nearly $150,000 Student Union budget, ECU probably maintains the largest student controlled budget in the nation, according to Thomason. Student Government uses the money to provide a free transit system, a student loan program, refrigerator rentals, student pub- lications, and other student ser- vices. "How the money is spent is entirely up to the students said Thomason. "The SGA here is one of the most active I have ever seen. In most schools, the administration handles the refrigerator rentals, transit system, and things like that To gain access to student funds, each organization or ser- vice must submit a budget to the SGA legislature, Thomason ex- plained. The budgets then go to the appropriations committee and occasionally on to other commit- tees such as the judiciary. The proposed budgets are voted on by the legislature as a whole after committee considera- tion and recommendation. If passed, the SGA president has ten days to veto the budget before it becomes effective. Tho- mason said the president cannot make line-item vetoes,but must sign or reject the entire proposal. After an organization obtains its budget, it must submit requisi- tions to be approved by the treasurer before any funds can be spent. To pay a telephone bill, for example, an organization must submit a requisition for the amount to be signed by Treasurer Thomason. The expense must be included in the budget. "It's usually a 24-hour pro- cess said Thomason. According to Thomason, the Student Fund Accounting office keeps the books, handles the funds, and writes the checks. -���, Yl i A I I I � I I THIS DRAWING is an example of the work displayed at the ECU Art Department faculty show now in progress at the Wellington B.

Photo by Pete Podeszwa DCE gets fishing grant ByBOBTHONEN Staff Writer A recent $120,938 National Oceanic and Aeronau- tic Administration (NOAA) grant will double the budget of the ECU Division of Continuing Education program for commercial fishermen, said Jim McGee, director. As part of the education and advisory services of the U.S. Department of Commerce Sea Grant program, the ECU program provides education and training in seafood harvesting and handling techni- ques and in the processing of seafood products. Sea Grant is a combination state and federal venture designed to promote the wise use and development of the nation's coasts and oceans through research, extension, and education. The NOAA provides two-thirds of the program support. The N.C. Department of Administration, through its Office of Marine Affairs, provides matching dollars on a one-to-two basis. The ECU Continuing Education program operates primarily through advisory agents trained to provide fishermen with information and technical assistance, McGee said. Marine Advisory Agents are similar to Agricul- tural Extension Agents in their functions, said McGee. "They work in the local area to assist in identifying needs and developing extension activities and programs directed towards meeting these needs McGee said. These agents might not know the answer to a question, but they are equipped to find an answer These same specialists also serve as a link between coastal citizens and the universities. As citizens turn to Sea Grant advisors with specific environmental and economic needs, these needs in turn can become the subject of research on university campuses. For example, data collected on offshore water circulation patterns in one Sea Grant study will help local and state officials make decisions about the wisdom of disposing sewage in the sea off North Carolina. Other activities have included development of eel farming techniques and the support of commercial clam and oyster cultures. Researchers are also studying disease control, diet, feeding, pond construction, and young eel capture for an eel farming project near New Bern. "Growing eels is not popular, but it is very valuable said McGee. "There is a big market with high prices In addition, because wild oysters are diminishing from pollution, it might be economically feasible to commercially culture oysters and clams, McGee said. "Instead of going out in boats to haul in wild dams and oysters, why not grow them yourself in shallow sound waters where you can simply walk out and harvest them said McGee. Also, NOAA will support research projects in biology, chemistry, and geology, all of which relate to the environment of the North Carolina coast. The largest other grant, $41,486, was awarded for a study of shoreline erosion and accretion to be conducted by Dr. Vincent J. Bellisof the ECU biology faculty and Drs. Michael O'Connor and Stanley Riggs of the geology department. mp �������������pi �aawBaanaai p- Adopt a pet Buy your BUC Entertainment Page 2 8 February 1977 Pottery class Free flicks This spring ECU will offer an evening credit course in pottery making, in the new ceramics department facilities in the Leo W.

H& �����B Over twenty attend Fleming dorm meeting 8 February FOUNTAiNHEAD Pag 3 Officers discuss SGA policy at forum By HELENA WOODARD Assistant News Editor In a SGA forum last Wed. night attended by more than 20 students, SGA President Tim Sullivan answered questions about the SGA. The forum, arranged by Flem- ing Hall Legislator Jane Biddix, was also directed by Karen Harlce, SGA attorney general, and Tim McCleod SGA secretary of Internal Affairs. In explaining the workings of the SGA, Sullivan said that money submitted through student fees was not attached by stipula- tion. "The SGA is not required to spend a certain amount of money each year fa any one project such as the BUCCANEER, FOUN- TAINHEAD, a transit Sullivan said. "The SGA budget allows flexibility for students. It allows us to give more or less money to certain organizations he added noting that transit was an excep- tion fa which the SGA must spend a set amount of money on each year. The question of an SGA- funded newsletta to report the facts of SGA news was raised by one student who said that he believed the FOUNTAINHEAD offered only one side of the issues. ECU receives grant to studyAlbemarle erosion Sullivan answered by saying that an SGA-funded newsletta would probably receive aiticism from the FOUNTAINHEAD. "Students should pressure the papa if they feel that it is biased in its covaage of the SGA he said. Sullivan noted that the charge of embezzlement recently made against him was filed by a FOUNTAINHEAD repata who had the acknowledgement of the papa's editas. "I feel they wanted to make sure that I don't run fa offioe again he said. "I feel that my name was slandaed� in a court of law: that charge against me was felonious Sullivan added. Many of the students present expressed oonfusion ova the details of the semesta change McCleod scheduled fa the Fall of scheduled fa the Fall, of 1977. Tim McCleod, said that he would wak toward having that infama- ticn posted in Mendenhall, the Croatan, the old Student Union, and on classroom bulletin boards. In otha SGA business, Sulli- van said that a larga amount of money was set aside fa trips outside of the regular bus sche- dules since money set aside fa transit in previous years was not used fa that purpose. "With a budget of some $300,000, yours is one of the biggest SGA's in the country Sullivan said. By JULIE EVERETTE Staff Writa The East Carolina Univasity science departments have sub- mitted a proposal to study the causes and effects of shaeline erosion on the Albemarle Sound. The National Science Founda- tion must approve the proposal and fund the project, accading to Mike Indaf, an ECU senia who will head the project along with Paul Albertson, a!riO a soiia. "We hope fa $16,000 said Indaf. Indorf said research could begin in August if funding is approved. "Intaested students fran the biology, geology, geography, and science education departments will participate in the project Indaf stated. Accading to Indaf, stams alaig the coastline are having the largest effect on the shaeline erosion. "The stam cycles cause an inaease in tides and make the waves harmful to the shae. "In summer, hurricanes are a large problem. We will oompare the effects of long-tarn, low- enagy processes as opposed to short-term, high-energy storm processes upon shaeline erosion The departments will study five areas of the South Albemarle Sound 15 miles apart. Aocading to Indaf, research- ers will moiita and obsave erosion rates, directions of sedi- ment transport, rates of shaeline vegetatiai loss, seed transpata- tion, and changing land use patterns. "We will also be mapping and photographing in the shaeline study Indaf said The residents alaig the Al- bemarle Sound are having prob- lems with the aosion of their propaty, aocading to Indaf. "People are losing land Indorf said. "Some residents have put up bulkheads to keep the water away from their propaty. Erosion has been recaded at 20 feet a year in one area of the sound. "Also, companies are losing a lot of land on the Albemarle Sound. "Through our wak, we hope to make people more aware of what's going on Frat celebrates two achievements Phi Kappa Tau fraternity jointly celebrated receiving the Herald E.

Editorials Page 4 8 February 1977 Charge, verdict both just The Honor Council decision one week ago today that acquitted SGA President Tim Sullivan of embezzlement was a just verdict. The charge on which the case was brought to litigation was both credible and properly submitted to authorities. Certain student government officers, including the SGA President, are required to attend summer school, the tuition and miscellaneous fees for which being paid from SGA funds. When freshman Robert Swaim learned that after dropping out of summer school last year, Sullivan had received a refund of $26.98 from the cashier's office and that Sullivan had returned no money to the SGA General Fund, he had four alternatives: 1) Inform Sullivan that he (Swaim) was aware of this irregularity and then quietly let the issue die. This route would have left Swaim open to the charge of aiding a cover-up. 2) Avoid the Honor Council and .opt instead to have the issue decided publically. This method would have required FOUNTAINHEAD to publish the evidence and leave it toSullivan to fend for himself in the political arena. 3) Swear out a warrant for Sullivan's arrest (embezzlement is a felonious offense). 4) Present the evidence to SGA Attorney General Karen Harloe, letting her decide that the case was justiciable under the embezzlement charge. This is the option that Swaim chose. Both Harloe and Dean of Men James Mai lory were oonvinced that the evidence against Sullivan was substantial enough to bring the case to Honor Council. Both advised Swaim to do so. During the preceding Harloe told the council members that Swaim had followed proper university procedure in filing the complaint against the SGA President. As a reporter for FOUNTAINHEAD, Swaim was removed from any coverage of student government for the duration of the case. After a short deliberation last Tuesday the Honor Council found Sullivan not guilty. Testimony revealed to the council members that Sullivan's parents received the check from the cashier's office and deposited it in their son's account without his knowledge. Sullivan's only crime was not knowing the refund had been sent. He deposited $26.98 in the SGA fund shortly after hearing of Swaim's charge. The SGA President should now stand completely exonerated of the embezzlement charge relating to this refund. Furthermore, &vaim should be praised for his effort to protect student fees, however meager the sum.

Swaim and myself, no mention was made that Mr. Swaim is a F-Head reporter. No mention was made that any student can bring almost any charge against anybody on this campus, no matter how untrue. Also, the letter I wrote about the "case" which you so objec- tively titled "Sullivan Sees Con- spiracy" is inaccurate. Just be- cause Swaim is on Jim Elliott's payroll and works under news editor Neil Sessoms, who is "covering" the case, and just because Jim Elliott took time out of his schedule to attend the trial, and just because Swaim is still covering SGA doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. Does it? Mr. Swaim was taken to task last week about his written accusation that Jones Cafeteria served "left-over grits" as lunch entrees. I can assure you that the crow Jim Elliott and his employee Mr. Swaim are eating now because of this "trial" tastes even worse than those grits. Even those people who have disagreed with the way I've done my job this year are getting disgusted with the bias and hypocrisy and duplicity that the paper new shows. FOUNTAIN- HEAD has lest any shred of objectivity it might have had when it put one of its own reporters up to filing charges, and then pretended to "cover" the case. The campus paper, under the careful direction of Jim Elliott, has become a joke without a punchline. TimSullivan Student Body Prez Editor, newspaper criticized To FOUNTAINHEAD: There is a new Watergate, and it is here at ECU. The charges that can be brought against the F-Head range from favoritism in the hiring policies to bias in their reporting. But what is most absurd is that this does not seem to be against policy, either ethical or profes- sional. Our Watergate is not showing the need to deal with misuse of power by the government, but the to hold public forum To FOUNTAINHEAD: In compliance with the SGA Transit Improvement Act, which was passed by the SGA Legislature on Monday, January 24, 1977, there will be an Open Forum on Wednesday, February 9, at 730 p.m. in Mendenhall 221 with the Transit Manager, Gary Miller, and the bus drivers. All students are urged to attend this Open Forum to air grievances, give suggestions and ask ques- tions about specific routes, ser- vice times and any other ques- tions regarding the SGA bus service. The Transit Improvement Act also asked for suggestion boxes to be put on each bus. These locked boxes will be on the busses soon, so that students who utilize the transit system can offer suggestions and give complaints about the bus service. The bus drivers will be asked to wear name tags so that complaints, as well as compliments, can be put in the boxes to enable the Transit Manager to identify a specific problem or time period problem. The Transit Open Forum is for all students with questions or suggestions about the SGA Tran- sit System. DON'T JUST SPIN YOUR WHEELS-COME SPEAK YOUR PEACE DeniseVidette SGA Legislator need to deal with that misuse by what, fa which by the grace of God we still have, discovered that other Watergate, the Free Press. And what is the cause of this mis-management, or lack of man- agement? Lack of SGA control. F-Head is only dependent upon SGA for over $80,000 per year (student paid activity fees), and beyond that they are com- pletely independent. That leaves everything up to the Editor. The "Free Press" belongs to the Editor. This gives a free press the freedom to be lousy, mis- represent events, and generally misuse its power, which should be power used to serve the University oommunity. I have made a list of charges against Jim Elliott, the Editor-in- Chief of the F-Head, the man who is also responsible for all action taken by all members of the F-Head and the organization, and will take him to the honor court of ECU to ask for arbitration. There we may reach an agreement and be able to correct some of the main problems, but not until we agree on a guarantee that respon- sible management will inhabit the F-Head offices. You will hear from me again, Mr. Elliott. I am Sincerely: Kent Johnson � ����� Art faculty holds show 8 February FOUNTAtNHEAO Page 5 THE WELLINGTON, B. GRAY gallery in the new Leo W.

Coming soon- van accessories ECU professor teaches computer to write welt By JOYCE EVANS Staff Writer Dr. James Wright, assistant professor of English at ECU, has taught a computer to write in a way some students should be envious of. A project he started last spring has resulted in a correctly written piece by the campus computer. The computer writes prose, poetry, headlines, classified ads, and more, under Wright's di- rections. Dr. Wright's experimental project tests English grammar by analyzing real sentences. The program breaks down sentences into grammatical pat- terns and then tests the accuracy of the pattern by random substi- tution of the programmed vocab- ulary, according to Dr. Wright. Wright tells the computer precisely what to do and when the pattern is laid out, the machine writes a new piece of work based on the prescribed patterns. One advantage for Wright is that the computer learns fast and makes no errors, unlike students. After feeding a well-written piece of literature into the com- puter, Dr. Wright's program allows the machine to randomly pick new words and write a new poem or story. The result is amazing and challenges Wright into trying to see how many new versions he'll get. Each time, a totally new story or poem will result. He purposely uses humorous words when working with sen- tence structures. "I could easily use dog, cat, and other words, but that's The Library �' "VA B ill �a cwd! Tuesday Night � Ladies Night Free Beverages for Ladies While it Lasts. Friday � Super Happy Hour 3-7 Best Prices in Town boring said Wright smiling. The stories, poems, and car advertisements are not only fun, but also intricate and interesting. Yet, Dr. Wright admits that the purpose is serious. The overall purpose of the project is to take what has already been done in conventional gram- mar and carry it one step further, according to Wright. Wright's research involves areas that computer scientists interested in language have woTKed on for some time. When Dr. Wright first began the project, he had no knowledge of programming. Carl Friedlander, a consultant for user services in the ECU Computing Center, aided Dr. Wright in writing the program. However, there's more than just setting up the program. And Dr. Wright has experienced some difficulties in the project. "But through trial and error, I learned he said. Friedlander views the project as interesting and unique. "It's unusual, for me. Dr. Wright is competing with com- puter scientists in the field of linguistics Friedlander stated. Dr. Wright's knowledge of language and his initiative are what may have led to the success of the project, according to Friedlander. In the early 60s, Dr. Wright received an invitation for a Peace Corps project that took him to South America. After receiving 96 hours of lingusitics training in El Paso, Texas, prior to the South Ameri- can experience, his interest in linguistics soarked. "At the time it was just that this was what I wanted to do he stated happily. "Fa the first time, I saw a computer do language Up until last spring, Wright had always wanted to do research in linguistics, but none of the machines he encountered could handle the language that was needed for this kind of research. "I found out accidentally through one of my students that ECU'S computer uses Snobol language he said. The program is intricately tied in with the courses he teaches. In one of the classes he teaches, Dr. Wright said his students analyze languages from all over the world and his project is an enormous help. "He's really humorous and his classes are really interest- ing commented one of Dr. Wright's students. But despite the light and humorous personality, he is an extremely serious and ambitious lover of language. Wright's project is not com- pleted, however. Exploring deep- er into language patterns, he intends to work with conjunctions in a later phase. An accomplished musician, Dr. Wright is also doing some research in musical compositions. "If anything comes out right, it's totally accidental he laugh- ed referring to his music research project. Although not a creative writ- er, he considered the computer to be a good tool for creative writing. ' Computer technology pro- vides reading and arithmetic and now writing completes the se- quence. And Dr. Wright couldn't find a more compliant student. CIA admits illegally opening U.S. mail (LNS)-From 1953 to 1973 the CIA admits to having illegally opened, read and copied 215,000 first-dass letters that were mailed by or addressed to American citizens or residents. If you have reason to believe that secret operation HTLINGUAL opened your mail you'll be interested in a series of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) damage suits now in the works. The ACLU aims to win money damages for the tens of thou- sands of persons involved, secure an injunction to stop any further mail openings, and to force the CIA and the FBI (to whom thousands of the opened letters were transferred) to empty their files on HTLINGUAL. Two lawsuits are aimed at high-ranking CIA officers re- sponsible for the mail-opening program. Seven more are direct- ed against the United States itself�novel in civil liberties terms, says the ACLU, but if successful it will produce more damage money since the U.S. Treasury has more in it than the individual bank accounts of form- er government officers. The civil liberties organization is hoping that all lawsuits can be brought as class actions, but if that is denied, they will want to have the participation of as many named individuals as possible. In order to participate, you must know fa a fact that the CIA has opened your mail. The CIA will supposedly give you that inform- ation if you write to the FOIA Coordinatory, CIA, Washington, D.C. 20505 with a short letter demanding to know "under the authority of the Freedom of Information Act" whether your mail has been opened. Past experience has shown, says the ACLU, that if the Agency has opened your mail, it will tell you so and also send you copies of your letters. The next step is to submit a daim for damages to the CIA and that's where the ACLU can help you. Their legal department has produced a small packet of materials and forms which will explain all the steps. For that packet, send a stamped, self- addressed envelope to Legal Department, AGU, 22 East 40th Street, New York, N.Y. 10016.

As with the oil and gasoline "energy crisis" a few years back, an independent evaluation of the quantity of available natural gas by observers outside the energy corporations is difficult. Esti- mates of reserves are compiled only by an industry trade group, the American Gas Association. To begin to untangle the origins of this latest "crisis critics say it is important to note that we no longer have separate oil, coal, uranium or natural gas industries, but an energy industry controlled by former oil giants. Exxon, Texaco, Phillips, Gulf and Mobil are the largest natural gas producers in the United States, in that order. These producers have contin- ually claimed, since Federal price regulation of interstate gas sales began in 1954, that the result would be natural gas shortages caused by an artificially low price of gas set by government regula- tions. "In fact, there has never been one (a shortage) wrote James Ridgeway in his book The Last Play: The Struggle to Monopolize the World's Energy Resources. "Their daims coincide with each decision by the courts or the Federal Power Commission limit- ing their prices According to energy company researcher and critic Joe Stork, "the evidence suggests that the only thing 'artificial' about natural gas prioes is that they are based on costs of production and do not contain the spread of monopoly profits in the 'compet- ing' fuels controlled by the oil companies In other words, energy cor- porations want the price of natural gas - which is compara- tively cheap to produce - to rise to the price of an equivalent amount of oil, which is several times more expensive. As fa the immediate causes of this winter's problems, James Flug, director of Energy Action, a Washington, D.Cbased group, points to a number of circum- stances. "For the past few years explains Flug, "the natural gas producers have expected that all price lids on natural gas would be lifted. Therefore, just on a pure arithmetic basis, it was in their economic interests to keep gas in he ground as long as possible, ntit the price lids were lifted As a result of this winter's severe cold weather, subsequent high fuel consumption, and short- ages, the Federal Power Com- mission (FPC) began allowing some emergency purchases of gas from intrastate pipelines by inter- state suppliers at the higher local rates. (If gas is produced and sold in the same state, it's considered intrastate; if it is produced in one state, but sold in others, it is interstate.) The top Federal ceiling for interstate gas is $1.42 per thou- sand cubic feet at the well head, considerably less than the intra- state price, which goes up to $2.25 per thousand cubic feet. Consequently, Flug,explains, gas producers have pulled back gas from the interstate market, trying to sell their, gas to intermediary distributors on the local market at the higher prices. Then, as a result of emergency measures by the Federal Power Commission this winter, these 'distributorsare permitted to sell the gas across the country at the higher, unregulated price. Costs increases are passed on to consumers' bills. Energy corporations say the solution to the problem is to deregulate natural gas and allow interstate prioes to float along with the price of intrastate gas. Critics say the solution is to regulate the interstate as well as intrastate prioes. They estimate that deregulation of gas would lead to an increase in fuel bills totalling to $20 billion a year. The Carter administration in- troduced a bill in Congress on January 26 which could be the first step towards aiding the energy oompanies with the even- tual deregulation of gas prioes. Under current law the Federal Power Commission can grant interstate distributors permission for 60-day emergency purchases of gas from suppliers at unregu- lated prices; Carter proposes extending the allowable time period to 150 days. An earlier FPC practice of permitting 180- day emergency sales was over- turned in court as amounting to deregulation. Just prior to the Carter bill the Wall Street Journal was reporting that, "Shut-offs of natural gas revive the movement in Congress to deregulate prices. Chances of success appear the best yet Exxon's profit in the fourth quarter of 1976-which was sub- stantially colder than the same period a year earlier-rose almost 7 to $680 million. So far, three-fourths of the oountry's 20 largest oil oompanies have filed their 1976 earnings, and all reported substantial increases in profit-as high as 53 in the fourth quarter. uespite snortages - natural or manufactured - the country's energy oompanies are, expected "to earn millions of dollars in additional profits because of the oold-induoed demand for their products the New York Times reported, citing Wall Street analysts.

We will surely drown in the deluge of thrillers scheduled for 1977 ("Salem's Lot "Exorcist II"), but it ismy bet that none will equal the graceful, haunting "Carrie Carrie White is an introverted high school senior who ranks as scapegoat among her vicious peers. When Carrie encounters her first menstrual experience in the gym shower she becomes agitated and hysterical, fearing death. Her classmates respond with the excesses of adolescent cruelty, berating Carrie with a flood of napkins, and tampons, and heartless chanting. The gym teacher (Betsy Buckley) reacts in this rich key scene by consoling Carrie and sentencing her class- mates to gym detention. The compassionate teacher sends Carrie home to her religiously ob- sessed, borderline psychotic mother (Piper Laurie) to recuper- ate. The gruff toned mother browbeats Carrie with a Bible and locks Carrie in a confession closet to contemplate the "curse" of womanhood. Meanwhile, Evil is assuming disguise in the soft eyes of Sue, a classmate who wants to repent for her part in Carrie's humiliation. Sue coaxes her steady boyfriend, Tommy (played with Redfordian charm by William Katt), into asking plain jane Carrie to the upcoming Senior Prom. Tommy is reluctant but finally yields to render Sue "this important favor Another classmate who has lost prom privileges as punish- ment for her part in the gym shower incident catches note of Sue's sincere gesture with which she will devise a very cruel scheme of revenge. She per- suades her beau (John Travolta) to render another "very impor- tant favor to bludgeon a pig and spill its blood on Carrie during her highest moment of Prom Night bliss. Everyone gets so involved in their schemes to help and hurt Carrie that none takes notice of her telekinetic powers, oblivious that it is the shy, tortured, princess-to-be who causes ash trays to fly from tables and light bulbs to explode. Crazy Mother refuses Carrie permission to attend the prom with Tommy so Carrie demon- strates her wild powers. The manic, sexually repressed mother begs Carrie to renounce her evil powers and avoid the prom. "There ail gonna laugh at you!

The film works well to thrill and fascinate on many levels. On its surface, CARRIE is a kinky delight of nerve-janglers and high school shenanigans. And beneath those moments designed fa guaranteed audience screams exists a symbolic world of troubling insights. De Palma elucidates these darker elements subtly and ingeniously. But his main intent is to flagellate our emotions and evoke screams. Even the most negative and rational moviegoers will be em- barrassed that CARRIE works so well. De Palma's lyrical direction recalls similar trends executed in his previous "Obsession" and "Phantomof the Paradise He has once again employed a gifted composer, Pino Donnaggio, to evoke the extremes of suspense of sentiment fa Mario Tosi's oola- ful images. The directa has selected an expert cast to illum- inate the stereotypes who live and die in CARRIE. Sissy Spacek presents the ill-fated Carrie with a perfamance that rivals any female lead in 1976. Ha Carrie is a warm naive creature who evokes empathy in ha search through darkness fa recognition. "Carrie" is plagued by sev- aal mirta flaws. The split screen device which De Palma has used to communicate the panaama of destruction in one of CARRIE'S several denouements dilutes the intensity of the scene. The speed-up of sound during arratha scene to evoke huma jilts the film's sevae mood.

Roxy shows Firesign flick this weekend The Firesign Theatre comedy group, those Amaican mastas of multimedia amusement, will soon be seen in the Greenville area. They will appear in one of their maion picture efforts, "Evay- thing You Know is Wrongfran the recad album of the same name. The movie will be shown at the Roxy Arts and Crafts Centa on Albemarle Street, Friday February 11th and Saturday February 12th at 8:00 and 930 p.m. both nights. Admission will be $1.00 to the public and 75 cents to Roxy members Advance tickets are on sale at Rock and Soul. The stay, as those familiar with the album will recall, is the quest of one Happy Harry Cox to find the aliens in our midst. Cox, a self-proclaimed expert in the field of UFO's and alien contacts, is aided in his search by a number of oddball friends and allies who likewise seek the aliens. Intawoven with this theme are the goings-on of the wald famous redneck Daredemon Rebus Canneebus, who is going to jump into the big hole left by Dr. Charles Bland the Big Comet near whae Cox lives. In addition, there are dozens of little side skits and subplots that the Firesign Theatre are famous fa throughout the film. As on their albums, the group plays all the parts in the movie. Phil Austin doubles as both Harry Cox and Rebus Caneebus. David Ossman patrays an Air Face genaal and a Happy Hour News anchaman. Philip Procta is his fellow anchaman and the re- nowned psychic Nino Savatte. Peta Bagman becomes Cosell- sound-alike Pat Hat and the pesky Cox disciple Gary "the Seeka In the last decade, the Fire- sign Theatre has released 14 group and solo albums, broadcast and syndicated four radio saies, and toured the country with various stage acts. In addition they have published three col lec- tions of their waks, produced, written and starred in sevaal motion pictures, and twice suc- cessfully ran a candidate fa the U.S. presidency. Their wak has been refared to as litaature and their albums are considered clas- sics. "Evaything You Know is Wrong" is one of their best. PIGS VS.

Bland said he receives sam- ples of infected larvae from aqua- culturists in Tahiti, Mexico, Flaida, Honduras, Oregon, and elsewhae. He identifies the fungi and tries to prescribe a cure fa sea farmers to control disease. "People genaally know so little about fungi and these diseases that, as soot as they have a problem, they have to go to a specialist said Bland.

"I guess they were more sensitive of my feelings than I was at first inclined to admit to myself he saya "They knew I wasn't happy in my retailing career and my health was becom- ing affected Listening to the concerns of those close to him prompted Fisher to take detailed tests at me. For Fisher, the interests were old ones-dating back to the years of World War II when many young men dreamed of becoming aviators. Fisher dreamed of flying with the U.S. Navy. A native of the Bronx, he finished school in January, 1947, at Manhattan Aviation High School, regarded as one of the nation's premier trade schools. Many of Its graduates obtained first-rate military and industrial jobs. But Fisher's timing was unfor- tunate. In the early postwar years, military and industrial aviation careers were in short supply The G.ls were back prevailing public attitudes were such that it would be hard for many people not to wonder whether-when it was all over-a firm would take on a man in his 40's as a beginning engineer. The first critical decision was whether to enter college. He approached it methodically. Before Fisher began his four years of full-time studies, he took night courses in calculus to see if he oould handle the depth of studies required. He did well and was accepted for admission to Syracuse University in August, 1989. "Once I started he recalls, "I went right to work.

The years had sped by and he wondered about the way he was spending his life, about the question of leaving his hard-won niche in business, about upset- ting his life at mid-point. And enjoyable times of my life. I was elected class representative to the faculty during my first semester and kept the post until gradua- tion.

But then, when the aerospace industry began exper- iencing difficulties and massive layoffs, Fisher decided to work toward a dual degree in aerospace and mechanical engineering. At the close of his sophomore year, he was asked to join one of his professors who had obtained a three-year grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agen- cy. The seven-man, one-woman team experimented with the incineration of plastics found in municipal wastes. When the final report was published, Fisher was listed on the cover as a co-investi- gator.

Wed- nesday through Saturday, the portly knight was star of the ECU School of Music's Opera Theater production of "Falstaff" at Fletcher Recital Hall. Sir John is the popular character of Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and Henry IV In his version for opera, Giuseppe Verdi creates a tightly constructed but sparkling comedy about Sir John's mercen- ary attempts at the conquest of two rich wives. One might say the appealing degenerate is asking for trouble. The scheme requires a com- plicated plot full of deceptions and counter deceptions. Un- fortunately, Jespite the English translation, during Act I of the opening night performance the audience was so busy trying to figure out the plot details that it forgot that "Falstaff" was sup- posed to be funny. The cast was so earnestly establishing characters and set- ting the scene for later develop- ments that they missed the lighthearted mischief Verdi in- tended for his opera. Even a potentially delightful antiphonal chorus of chatter between the men and the women was swal- lowed up by the pianos and merely confused the audience. Alan Jones as Falstaff led the cast in poised singing and heavy- handed acting that left the audience impressed but cold. With the Act II entrance of Susie Pair as the busybody Mistress Quickly, however, the audience started to relax and enjoy her teasing revenge on Sir John, whose schemes had been discovered unbeknownst to him. Mature perfamanoes by Lynn Hicks and Claire Hurley as the two "merry wives" further re- laxed the audience. Their rich soprano voices stabilized the whole production. Act II was also livened up by a fun, if unsuccessful, seduction scene between Lynn Hicks and a warmed up Alan Jones, who left the scene hidden in a pile of dirty laundry that was dumped into the Thames River. Act II was worth seeing if just for the gaudy red-flowered-upholstery material blouse, lacy knickers and orange- feathered hat that the wine- loving, women-chasing Sir John wore to entice the ladies. Even the bit parts started to dick, like Cindy Barfield in a silent role as a cute but witless servant. In a delightful subplot, Nancy Thomas (Nannetta) and Steve Walence (Fenton) played two young lovers determined to marry against Nanetta's father's wishes. Nancy Thomas' light high soprano and experienced acting, with Steve Walence's beautiful tenor, were a nice contrast to the quick-paced humor of the main plot. What really won over the audience was Bill White's per- formance of the red-nosed ruffian Bardolph, a crony of Falstaff. Bill White was full of it, and the audience including myself, loved it! By Act III, the opera's fun aspect really came together. A midnight masquerade in the woods punished Falstaff for being naughty by scaring him with a fake fairy attack. Here Nancy Thomas was her most remark- able, floating an effortless high, high "Bb" into the moonlight, holding the pure tone "faever" as the fairies danced. In this final scene, the block- ing started to make some sense, with motion flowing in the dim lights to give the proper ethereal effect. A jubilant shower of confetti followed a fugue advising all to be jolly and brought the opera to a close. The Opera Theater should be proud; proud of Donna Rowan and Taesa Watkins fa their competent handling of difficult piano scaes, Dr. Clyde Hiss fa his (as always) exacting direction, and the whole cast fa all of their hard wak and talent.

His senia design project was focused on redesigning the cur- rent NASA space shuttle to civilian use. In December, 1972, he was interviewed on campus by a Kodak reauita and traveled to Rochester fa further interviews. He was offered a position.

"I said to myself then that some company in this country is going to want someone who knows how to wak. During my interview, the Kodak reauita kept stressing the positive as- pects of my age and experience even though I would be 44 just after graduation Now he is assigned to the utilities engineering group at Kodak Park. He termed his assignment "the greatest break I could have imagined. I wak with a fantastic group of people Utilities at Kodak Park involve some key opaations. Kodak Park employs mae than 30,000, the largest population of all the company's plants. As in any community, thae must be sup- pat ing staff and facilities to take care of vital needs.

State Thursday night fa a predictable match, losing to the Pack 95-68. The difference in height alone between the two teams made the going rough for ECU, especially against a team that works so well together as State does. Six of State's 14 players ended up in double figures, with only one player not scoring at all. Debbie Freeman led the Pi- rate' s scoring with 24 points from the floor, along with Linda McLellan and Gail Kerbaugh, who had ten each. All five of ECU'S starters played over thirty minutes, while the longest any member from the Pack bench played was 20 min- utes. Overall, the Lady Pirates played a good game, but certainly not what they are capable of. State played less than perfect not being forced to fight fa the ball. Coming off their loss to State, the Lady Pirates beat Longwood College Friday night by a scae of 89-80. Three Pirates made it to double figures. Guard Gail Kerbaugh hit 29 points. Debbie Freeman scaed 26, and led in rebounding with 14. The other high scaer was Linda McLellan with 13. Scaing was close fa the first half, with ECU edging the lead 38-37. Rebounding was fairly close throughout the game, ECU led with 53 over Longwood's 48. Having the lead coming in to the last minutes of the game was a nice change fa the Pirates, as they could concentrate on playing good ball instead of attempting the usual fast break with every turnover. It was a well deserved victay fa a team that had maning and afternoon practices last week to sharpen up. Pirates coach Catherine Bol- ton was pleased with the win, and with her team, which still has enough enthusiasm to win. Gray hits career high in losing effort to WCU By STEVE WHEELEh Staff Writer The up-and-down East Caro- lina basketball team journeyed to Cullowhee Saturday night to attempt a sweep of Western Carolina fa the season. But, the Catamounts would have nothing of it handing the Pirates a 66-53 defeat befae about 3,000 saeam- ing fans in Reid Gym. � The Pirates, now 8-11 overall, have lost nine of their ten games on the road. They stand 7-2 in Minges Coliseum. The Pirates were once again done in by their poa shooting and lack of intensity of play. They oould manage just 23 of 71 from the floa fa 32.4 percent while the Cats hit oi 24 of 50 fa 48 percent. Had it not been fa freshman faward Herb Gray, the outoome could have been much wase. Gray hit a career-high 27 points, over half the Pirates' total output. "Right now, we're just play- ing with our bodies, not with our minds said a disgruntled Dave Patton following the game. "We aren't going to beat anyone shooting the way we did tonight. It was just a lack of confidence. Our passing was oitiful, too Patton had praise fa his sleek freshman Gray, even in the loss. "He played just great. If it weren't fa him, we would have been beaten by 30 points Ike Mimsgot the Catamounts off to a good start by scaing 12 of their first 14 points. This gave Western a ten-point lead, a lead the Pirates could never overcome. The Pirates were beset by oold shooting all night long. They could not buy a basket from outside. They had to rely on getting the ball inside to Gray fa their points a by getting offen- sive rebounds. Rebounds did not come the Pirates' wayasthey had earlier in the season. The Catamounts outrebounded the Bucs by a whopping 48-35 margin. Mims led WCU with 12 while Larry Hunt topped ECU with nine. Of late, Hunt had been a terra ai the boards averaging over 14 retrieves per game. After the Cats opened up their 14-4 lead early in the game, the Pirates came back to cut the margin to four at 16-12. After the teams traded a couple of baskets each, the Catamounts went on another tear to put the halftime lead up to eight at 33-25. Western Carolina scaed the first three points of the seoond half to open up an 11-point lead. The Pirates then cut the margin to seven at 42-35. But, the Cats scaed the next eight points to open up a 15-point lead at 50-35. Western's biggest lead came a minute later at 53-37, befae the Pirates made ate last ditch effat to cut the lead down. Gray was the only Pirate to scae in double figures. Larry Hunt with eight and Jim Ramsey with six were the aher Pirate leaders. Mims led the Catamounts with 20 points while Thomas Wilson added 14, Russell Gibbs 13, and Jay Lassiter 11. Turnovers hurt the Pirates also. They committed 13, while Western was able to steal the ball from them 12 times. The Pirates traveled to Na- folk, Va. last night to face powerful Old Dominion. The Monarchs inflicted one of the two ECU losses in Minges a couple of weeks ago by an 86-74 margin. East Carolina returns home Thursday night fa an impatant league clash with Wil'iam and Mary. The Indians whipped the Pirates by 25 in Williamsburg earlier, but have had trouble of late winning on the road. Third loss of season Tankers lose to Duke, 65-48 ; now 6-3 overall East Carolina's swim team lost to Duke's Blue Devils, 65-48, Saturday in Minges Natataium. The Pirates lost their third meet to an ACC foe this season, despite winning seven of 13 events. "I'm very disappointed about losing to Duke said ECU coach Ray Sharf. "Although they were better on paper, I still felt we would win. David Kirkman was sick and this hurt us in the medley relay It was the medley relay that put Duke on top, 7-0. ECU was never able to catch up. Double winners fa the Pirates were John Tudor and John McCauley. Jim Brunner, Ted Nieman, and Stewart Mann each won one event. "I was real pleased with McCauley said Sharf. "He swam against a tough conpetita. Nieman was the wakhase fa ECU. He swam the 1000 freestyle, winning in 9:45.51, a meet recad. He returned with just five minutes rest swam the 200 freestyle, and finished seoond. "He wanted to swim both events Sharf said. "It was a gutsy thing to do Mann had his best day of the year, winning the backstroke in 2 09.29, a meet reoad. He also finished third in the IM. "Stewart had a fine day, probably his best effort this season Sharf said. Brunner won the three-meter diving competition. The Pirates are now 6-3 on the season. Their next meet is Feb. 12, in the Atlantic Seaboard Interscho- astic meet at Minges. fHE PI HA TES loss Saturday was their third of the season MSR-SV- '2fi 50's f reestyler McCauley aims for the nationals 8 February FOUNTAINHEAD Page 13 By DAVID ROBEY Staff Writer Speaking confidently and quietly, John McCauley, a 220 lb six-foot seven inch member of ECU'S men's swim team, says he is aiming for the top of the swimming nationale. McCaule, a native of Charlotte, is undefeat- ed in his event, the 50 yard freestyle. He is presently ranked eleventh in the nation. McCauley prepped at East Mecklenburg, swimming three letters. Upon being recruited by ECU swim coach Ray Scharf, McCauley set freshman records in the 50 and 60 yard freestyles and was a member of the 400 yard freestyle medley relay team that traveled to the nationals. As a sophomore, McCauley again went to the nationals but failed to do as well as expected. However, this year he has bettered his times and feels confident that he can do well in the nationals. He has the first place position eyed and will fight for it. It has taken twelve years of experience for McCauley to get where he is. He gives his parents credit for motivating him. They encouraged him to swim in Amateur Athletic Union meets. Coach Scharf, McCauley readily admits, impressed him with his "win philosophy" and McCauley wants to give due credit to Scharf for aiding him and encouraging him when it was needed. In the future, McCauley plans to teach physical education at the secondary level and, of oourse, coach swimming. "I hope I will be a benefit to kids and help to motivate them the way my past coaches have me. I feel my success now and in the future is due to my present coach said McCauley. Scharf commented, "John has tremendous ability. He is a large fellow, which is of great advant- age to a sprinter. He seems more determined this year and has a purpose in mind. As far as the swim is oonoerned, John is a producer and that is a great aid to us. He has gained his confidence and I feel he should do well at the nationals The best time turned in by McCauley this year in the 50 yard freestyle is 21.2 seconds. To qualify for the nationals he must better his time by a mere .1 second. McCauley feels he will qualify at the Eastern Regionals. This meet is an important one which ECU has a good chance of winning. For this meet McCauley and the other members of the team will shave their bodies to improve their times. This meet will produce times of national caliber. John McCauley has the exper- ience, strength, physical stature, confidence and desire to do well at the nationals. He deserves it. jumN McuAULt y is currently ranked eleventh in the nation in the 60-yard freestyle event. jPhoto by Pete Podeszwa This Week at the Elbo Room Wed.
