ECU students 'get rowdy' By DEBBIE JACKSON Co-NewsEdita Spnng fever hit downtown Greenville last Thursday night as student revelers ocngregated along Cotanche Street, stopping motaistsand laying claim to the street. Pete Podeszwa, an ECU student, said that he believed the excited atmosphere started in Thursday's where Mother's Finest was playing. I was there fa the last set they did and the crowd was going crazy. They loved it said Podeszwa. A Goading to Podeszwa, the aowd became uneasy when the group refused to play any mae after oie enoae. "As I saw it, the crowd left a little bit disgusted. One guy threw a beer bottle on stage Following the perfamance, the aowd moved out to Cotan- che Street. Podeszwa estimated the aowd at approximately 250. "I couldn't believe the a- mount of people there. They were just carrying on and generally raising hell Podeszwa said that the aowd gathered around 1 a.m. and remained on the street until about 2 flO.

J SGA sponsors retreats, discusses bus system 15 March 1977 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 3 By JACK LAIL Staff Writer The SGA legislature Monday appropriated $430 for two re- treats this weekend during its weekly meeting. The English department was appropriated $195 and the Poli- tical Science department was appropriated $235 fa retreats at Atlantic Beach, N.C. Both bills passed with oppo- sition, opponents contended it is too late in the year for retreats. The Physics and Geology departments will also hold re- treats at Atlantic Beach, this weekend. The legislature appropriated $300 to the ECU Law Society for a trip to Washington, D.C. The Society plans to visit the Su- preme Court and talk with some senates and representatives. A bill passed sending four members of Gamma Beta Phi, an honor fraternity, tornoxville, Tenn for a convention, after much debate. In other business, the rules were suspended to vote on a bill to shift $239 in the photo lab budget. The money was shifted from color processing to photo equipment. The reason given for the change was that the color processing equipment is not Homecoming will not come with Halloween The Homecoming Steering Committee met Thursday to hear suggestions for a theme for Homecoming next year and to distribute to committee mem- bers proposed operational pro- cedures. The oommittee did not de- cide on a theme for the event, postponing that determination in order to receive more student input. Committee oo-chairman, Barry Robinson, said he hoped students would call him at the Student Union, (757-6611, ex- tension 210), and voice their opinions on what the theme should be. Co-chairman Dr. Charles Brown distributed to the oom- mittee proposed operational procedures which, if passed, would be a first fa the body. The proposal discusses the timetable fa the planning of Homecoming activities, deter- mines when oommittee meet- ings will be held and sets down the membership of the oommit- tee which is by title only.

Worker dignity denied The anti-union tactics of the J. P. Stevens textile firm are both a disgrace to the American free enterprise system and an affont to the dignity of industrial workers in the South. The Southern textile industry is America's last major unorganized manufacturing industry, with fewer than 20 per cent of the region's 589,000 textile workers belonging to a union. With annual sales topping the $1 billion mark, Stevens employs 44,000 workers in more than 80 mills. In Roanoke Rapids where Stevens operates seven mills, a majority of the company employees voted in 1974 to be represented by the Textile Workers Union of America. After three years of debates and demonstrations by the workers, Stevens still refuses to negotiate a contract with union officials. The company utilizes a variety of underhanded tactics to crush the union. The National Labor Relations Board has found Stevens guilty of illegally firing 289 employees for union activities. I n 1973 Stevens was ordered to pay TW U A $50,000 in damages for wiretapping a union organizer's motel room. Now that the union is a reality with which Stevens must negotiate, the company refuses to bargain in good faith or to submit unsettled grievances to impartial third parties for arbitration. Unless Stevens begins to respect employee needs and reoognize their right to organize and demand proper compensation for their labor, an embittered fight could ensue between workers and management in the rapidly industrializing South. Union supporters have already begun to organized a boycott of Stevens' products to bring the mammoth corporation to the bargaining table-in good faith. In North Carolina, the soene of Stevens beachhead with the TWUA, industrial workers can ill afford the slowdown. Wages here are already 16 per cent below the national average. If the South is to continue to mature economically there must be more attention paid to its workers, certainly more than is now. One Stevens worker at Roanoke Rapids who had been with the company for over 30 years was asked how much he would receive in retirement pay if he were to retire tomorrow. "Sixty dollars a month he replied. Over half of a man's productive lifetime is given to Stevens, and to them it's worth only $15 a month in retirement benefits. flflVHMQM- PWN PUBLIC RELATIONS a000.000 COURT COST UOOaOOO COMTIHfrEMCy 800,000 OTHER 600,000 & $ WOO, 0001" m JpJT�V" Rt "WITH THIS PIRN JE LflN STOP THE U�flNDTHE$POiinD W ICRFH5E. " Officials pledge support to overpass By ROBERT M.SWAIM Asst. News Editor The much discussed and badly needed pedestrian overpass at 10th St. and College Hill will soon become a reality, and it is long overdue. Last month I conferred with Governor James B. Hunt, Lt. Governor Jimmy Green, and Attorney General Rufus Edmisten about our need for an overpass. Governor Hunt was very responsive and appeared to be genuinely concerned about the safety of ECU students. The governor has assured me that he will seriously pursue this worthy project. Lt. Governor Green was also very attentive and concerned when I explained our dilemma about the overpass. Mr. Green has asked me to gather the necessary data concerning the overpass and forward it to him. Governor Hunt also asked me to personally gather information on the overpass and send it to the governors mansion. Attorney General Rufus Edmisten told me personally that he intends to help in every way possible. On March 17, I will journey to the state capital and deliver the report that I have prepared to the lieutenant governor. I owe many thanks to SGA Vice-President Greg Pingston for his unselfish cooperation and help in preparing the overpass report. Greg has done a tremendous job and deserves a lot of credit fa his efforts on behalf of the ECU student body. The need for the overpass is tremendous. It is necessary to insure the safety of thousands of ECU students who daily must cross the dangerous intersection to get to their classes on the main campus. There are approximately 2500 students living on the hill, there are also hundreds of day students who utilize the parking lots at the bottom of the hill. Each of these students must take their life into their hands when they cross the street to get to their classes. There have been numerous serious accidents at this intersection. Fortunately none have involved pedestrians, although one coed was struck last year while aossing the intersection on a bicycle. Just last week there was anaher accident, involving two automobiles, both were heavily damaged. The overpass will benefit na only pedes- trians, but maaists as well. Motaists will no longer have to wait and watch fa students aossing the intersection. As is quite often the case now, students will begin aossing the street when there is a break in traffic and continue to aossthe street in a steady stream, thus blocking traffic. The overpass would eliminate the dangerous practice of darting between cars and damn near getting killed in the process. Motaists would no longer have to keep an eye out fa pedestrians, and therefae could keep their eye on the road. It is a shame that it has taken khis long to get such a deserving project off of the ground. The students of ECU were simply the victims of partisan politicson the part of the Transpatatioi Department (DOT) under the Holshouser admin- istration. It seems strange that DOT could not find a paltry $210,000 to insure the safety of thousands of students, but there was plenty of money fa paving roads in Watauga county (which just by coincidence happens to be the home of famer Govana Holshouser.) � Fatunately the new administratioi under Gov. Hunt has heard our plea fa the overpass and they are responding. The govana, It. govana, and the attaney genaal have all pledged their suppat of this project. And it is because of their concern and willingness to help that the overpass will be built. We should all be thankful that our needs are being met and hopefully there will be no more maja delays. I Supporters fight racism 15 March 1977 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 5 Black youth denied 9 9 eafor new trial (LNS)-Gary Tyler, an 18 year-old black youth charged and convicted fa murder, and serving a sentence of life imprisonment, was denied his appeal for a new trial by the Louisiana Supreme Court on January 24. Tyler's case has becomea national symbol of the fight against racism, and his supporters plan to continue the fight to reverse his oonviction. Tyler is now going to appeal his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Tyler's defense based the state appeal on two key issues: the unfair composition of the jury in the original trail, and the recantation of testimony by the state's key witness, Natalie Blanks. Tyler had been convicted by an all-white jury in 1975 which was selected from a predomin- antly white jury pool in a parish (Louisiana's equivalent to a county) which is 40 percent black. The recent Louisiana court ruling refused to consider this fact on the grounds that the original defense lawyer did not object to it at the time. The oourt also refused to accept the recantation, reason- ing that the original judge, Ruche Marino was the most qualified to decide when Blanks lied and when she told the truth. Blanks has said, however, that Judge Marino was one of the public officials who forced her to testify against Tyler in the first place. The murder charges for which Tyler was convicted stem from the shooting death of a white student during a mob attack on a bus load of black students leaving Destrehan High School in October of 1974. Tyler was arrested during the incident after he complained of the brutal treatment received by black students at the hands of the police and was charged with "interfering with t&e-law This charge was later changed to murder even though available evidence points to the shots coming from the attacking mob, and the usual ballistics inform- ation about angle of entry of the bullet, etc. is missing from the autopsy report. SUPPORT FOR TYLER Upon hearing of the state supreme oourt's decision, Tyler's mother, Juanita Tyler said, "Thefuture isto fight. I'm not giving up. I'm asking a lot more people to get involved. We need a national movement. It will take rallies, marches and a lot more. I'll be fighting and struggling until there's no more Mrs. Tyler. Not just for my son, but for all that isoomingdown In a statement from St. James Parish prison in Louisi- ana, Tyler urged his supporters to continue to fight. "I wasn't expecting a right decision and I wasn't surprised. I also don't expect to get justice in the U.S. Supreme Court. I'm not de- pending on any court; the people are going to free me Last July, over 2,000 of Tyler's supporters gathered in New Orleans and marched down the city's main streets. On October 7, 1976 ever 92,000 names were handed to Governor Edwin Edwards on petitions to free Tyler. Despite laws pro- hibiting demonstrations outside courthouses in Louisiana, hundreds of Tyler supporters picketed the court hearing his appeal on November 10. In an unusual move, the Louisiana Supreme Court in- structed the district court to sentence Gary Tyler to life imprisonment at hard labor with no chance of parole for twenty years. This is the maximum sentence possible in Louisiana at this time. The defense does not expect the U .S. Supreme Court to grant a retrial and is preparing for another round of appeals on other grounds.

During that year, Gillman brought in the current stars of this year's dub: Allen Thomp- son, Sam Williams, Winfred Boynes, Bill Cartwright and James Hardy. Gillman's recruiting efforts were tabbed by all national publications as the tops in the country that year. While at Minnesota, Sept. 1975 to June 1976, the Gophers boosted their recruits such that they were tabbed 15th overall in theoountry in recruiting and the following year posted a 24-3 record. The first oollege experience for Gillman came at the Univer- sity of Houston from 1973-1974. He worked there as a graduate assistant coach under Guy Lewis during a 19-7 year. Gillman's first coaching job was at Mt. Vernon High School in New York. He assisted Coach Gus Williams (USCGolden State), Earl Tatum (Marquette Lakers) and Rudy Hackett (Syra- cuse all-America) to two consec- utive state championships, something never done in New York before. In 1972, Gillman worked as an assistant coach at Westches- ter Community College and guided his club to a 35-3 record, also producing three all-Ameri- ca players. Asa player, Gillman was an all-county guard at Tuckahoe High School. His oollege career was curtailed as a sophomore due to an ankle injury. Gillman commented, "I feel East Carolina University's over- all situation, with emphasis on help from the administration, community and faculty, can be exceptional. Recruiting is the tough part, but East Carolina has a lot to offer. "I plan to have a quick tempo style with aggressive defense. I want the defense to make the offense.

News Editor Pitt County Sheriff Ralph Tyson said recently that it would be difficult to house state prisoners in the Pitt County jail. Tyson's comment was made in response to Gov. James B. Hunt's announcement that county sheriffs will be asked to house state prisoners in county jails to relieve overaowding in the state's prisons. "Pitt County at the present time is running at full capacity, said Tyson. "We would like to work with the governor but it should be on a voluntary basis Tyson said that the Pitt County jail averaged 65 prison- ers per day fa February. "We have to accommodate prisoners from seven towns said Tyson. Tyson said that additional staff would have to be hired if the jail has to accommodate state prisoners Tyson added that at the present time the jail staff consists of two cooks, four jailers, and four matrons. According to Tyson, the Dept. of Corrections only comes around twice a week to pick up prisoners and transport them to the state's prisons. The county jail imprisons those prisoners who are await- ing trial or who are waiting to be transported to the state prison. Some prisoners are already serving their time in the county jail, according to Tyson. Anybody who has less than 30 days is pulling their time in the oounty jail said Tyson. Tyson said that trouble with prisoners is usually the result of them having nothing to do. "We have a library for prisoners. We also have minis- ters who oome in about every day and hold services for the prisoners Tyson said that only about two or three ECU students are BIGGS DRUG STORE 300 EVANS ON THE MALL PHONE: 752-2136 rflT FREE PRESCRIPTION fWOttjOtf PICKUP AND DELIVERY Prescription Dept. with medication profiles: yonr prescription always- at onr fingertipseven though your may lose yonr HL. bottle.

"Most of them are usually released on their own bond except in the narootics cases said Tyson. During February the Pitt County jail held 305 prisoners. Of that number 45 were await- ing trial and seven were serving time. The racial composition of the jail population for February was 55-Negro and 45 white. Tyson said that five juveniles were held in the jail in Feb- ruary. Some were charged with rape, breaking and entering, and larceny. The sheriff said that he must maintain cells for males, fe- males, juvenile males, and juvenile females. According to the sheriff, if state prisoners are housed in the county jail the state will pay for their upkeep. "We keep prisoners (fe- males and juveniles) fa other counties, we're almost a re- gional jail said the sheriff Concerning the recent sug- gestion by Attorney General Rufus Edmisten that the gover- nor should commute the senten- ces of between 500 and 1,000 prisoners who are serving time for minor drug offences, Sheriff Tyson said that the prisoners should remain incarcerated. "As it is now our courts are very liberal. It's very seldom that a first offender gets time. I feel like if he was bad enough to go to prison then they ought to keep them Special paintings, prints on display A selection of paintings, prints and drawings by Walter Barker is on view at the Wellington B. Gray Gallery at ECU through March 28. The exhibition, entitled "Small Works from the Years 1947-1977 includes works re- presentative of various periods during the evolution of Barker's style during the past 30 years. Among the recent works are paintings influenced by Barker's interest in the ancient Chinese book "l-Ching" (The Book of Changes) founded upon aesthetic principles established in fifth-century China. Earlier paintings reflect Barker's influence by the art and spirit of Greece, Persia and Egypt, and by later European schools of painting. Barker is an associate pro- fessor of art at UNC-Greens- boro. He studied with Max Beckmann at Washington Uni- versity in St. Louis and later taught there after additional study at Indiana University. Tran Gordley, associate dean of the ECU School of Art, studied painting with Barker at Washington. Barker has traveled and studied throughout the world, and before joining the UNC- Greensboro art faculty, taught at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. His award-winning work has been included in numerous exhibitions and is part of the permanent collection of several museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Mae than 34 of the 6,980 students cast votes which rated each of their nominees on an intensity scale of excellence: 10 (highest), 8 a 6. The results are now in. Based upon the student vote, the Instructional Survey Committee of the Faculty Senate, which designed and carried out the survey, selected 49 faculty members from among the 660 who were statistically comparable. These are faculty whom students believed to be the outstanding undergraduate teachers during 1975-76. Their names are listed below. The Instructional Survey Committee also surveyed faculty opinion in each department a school regarding outstanding teachers in that unit. Mae than oie-third of the teachers listed also appeared in the top 10 of their colleagues' vote. Ranking in the top 10 of the faculty vote fa hisher department a school is indicated by an asterisk next to the instructa's name. A similar survey of administratas was taken at the same time, but the results were inconclusive. Professa Farr explained "administratas are often teachers too; drawing the line between them therefae becomes difficult indeed. Chairpersons of departments and deans,of many schools were included in the faculty survey TOP-RANKED TEACHERS IN STUDENT SURVEY (In Alphabetical Order) Names marked with an asterisk () are those which also appeared in the top 10 of the faculty vote fa that department a school. An impatant reasoi fa these surveys was to obtain infamatioi fa the Alumni Association's outstanding teacher awards-two $500 awards fa teaching excellence during the previous year. Frances Daniels of Business Education and Everett C. Simpson of the Biology Department received the Alumni Association awards fa 1975-76 at the ECU Christmas Convocation. These awards had not been given fa several years, Ms. Farr noted, because there had been no acceptable method of evaluating teaching. "The support of Provost Howell, the cooperation of Richard Lennon and Evans Harris of the Computer Center, and the unflagging energy of the Committee members made this administration and tabulation of these surveys possible said Ms. Farr. Equally impatant wasthe cooperation of the studentsand faculty in taking the survey seriously. This spring the Committee plans to survey students and faculty about undergraduate teaching during the current academic year. IBM voting cards fa the student survey will be available late in Spring Quarter (tentatively, April 25-27) in the lobby outside the book stae. Voting fams fa the faculty and administrative surveys will be sent near the end of Spring Quarter. The Committee hopes that the Alumni Association Awards fa 1976-77 will then be made at the Faculty Convocation in the fall. 1. Carl G. Adler, Physics 2. Wendall E. Allen, Biology 3.

This lack of refined choreography was the basis for the intolerably poor performance of the Rod Rodgers Dance Company. The troupe was composed of prominent dancers, but intelligent choreography is more than mere jumpsuit athletics. The essence of dance of any type is to create its own energy as it enhances the music. The intent of choreography must be higher than mere orchestral coordination. This company is better suited performing warm-ups for the Ice Capades. This reviewer cannot comment upon all aspects of the performance, as I chose to leave before the last numbers. The program was disjointed and poorly planned a announcements were made. The best of the pieces was by a woman whose name was mumbled through the intercom,4WI was lost on this reviewer. The dance was basicaly a series of from the Karate discipline of Aikido. She proved to be the of the troupe in that her movements and motivations were 8fT defined. The music accompanying this particular number was poor, as the discordant quitar intruded on the strength of the dramatic structure of the piece. This early number was the best of the worst. Rodgers' ineptitude surfaced horribly in the number Interval Two. In this piece, there were several dancers on stage. Rodger's inability to bring a sense of emotion to the piece left the dancers cavorting about the stage in linear movements that were confused and flaccid. They constantly repeated themselves(though a sense of monotony was intended) until the dance drew mercifully to an inconclusive finish. Theunmotivated movement of the group was epitomized in Love Flower, where a woman in a long white dress made historic fertility movements to the tunes of a poor blues number. This dance of "intimate dedication was done to the spine of her recalcitrant lover. The number was saccharine and tired; as the woman clumsily fought with her own missteps and misdirection. At times she hopped about like a demented rabbit. I regret having mentioned this company in my last oolumn. The space would have better been devoted to a seminar on careers in motel management. Keep those cards and letters coming MOVIES Park� one is willing to accept the promise of an eleven pound fetus leaping out of his laboring mother's uterus and slaughtering the deliverers, then this film is viable. It attempts to comment on the polluting of our environment, but the scenes are blatant and poorly timed. The film chooses to move from cheap horror tactics to unsubstantiated abilities on the part of the infant. The child resembles a bulbous Truman Capote with daws, and proceeds to destroy most of a coastal aty in search of family. This film should be dragged out and shot. (Not unlike the infant zero stars.)

Cowboy fails to match golden past at the Attic By MICHAELFUTCH Assistant Trends Editor Last Wednesday night, March 9, was to be a good night for country rock fanatics. Cowboy, at one time the premier East Coast country rock band, was to perform at the Attic in downtown Greenville. Cowboy, however, proved to not be the Cowboy of old, but a band that has moved on to a different sound in order to survive in the erratic music rat-race of the '70s. A band named Taxi started the evening off with a thump. From Cincinnati, Ohio, this group opened up with Aero- smith and eventually proceeded to fade into heavy metal oblivion. With bands like this, it's a wonder that there aren't more deaf troupes making the circuit. The group toyed with a McCartneyBeatles medley and made a heavy metal anthem out of "Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms My personal advice for this band istocall acaband pull a Howard Hughes until acoustic music makes a mass comeback. Cowboy, under the auspices of Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton. released their first al- bum in 1970, REACH FOR THE SKY. Their second, 5'LL GETCHA TEN. released in '71 still remains an almost flawless counfy rock classic. It's only drawback from reaching that plateau is the mix, which was under the direction of Capri- corn' s Johnny Sandlin. The second album included Chuck Leavel (now of Sea Level) on piano and a brilliant South- ern guitarist named Duane Allman, who played slide dobro on "Please Be With Me This song was later recorded by Eric Clapton on 467 OCEAN BOULEVARD. The album also included "All My Friends later recorded by Greg Allman's LAID BACK. Cowboy released a solid LP in 1974, entitled BOYER AND TALTON. Boyer emerged from this album as the better of the two songwriters, displaying his creativeness with near classic country ballads such as "Every- one Has a Chance to Feel" and "Message In the Wind The group played with Greg Allman on his solo tour in '74. The poor ON TOUR LP came from the concert tapes made during this period. This reviewer was lucky to see Cowboy during the period of the BOYER AND TALTON album. Backing up Wet Willie at UNC-Wilmington. this band added more than one loyal devotee that evening with a fantastic show. Although Boyer has the hand for lyrics and a shakey but deceptively good country voice. Talton exhibited a tour de force on lead and slide guitar that night. Cowboy, sadly enough, was an entirely different band Wednesday night. There were flashes of the past, but the majority of the work was new material. The band remains in its country roots, but there was a great deal of experimentation in other fields. Much of Cow- boy's music seemed to be oriented to a dance hall, playing funky and at times, disco inclined material. A lot of the music seemed to be an extension of Talton's disastrous '76 fling with Johnny Sandlin and Bill Ste- wart, in an album entitled HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. The album has to rank as one of the most extreme cases of vinyl waste in our generation - it was and remains a horrible album. Talton must have been happy to embrace Boyer again for this Cowboy tour. Cowboy played an extremely good version of Boyer's Please Be With Me Another moment of hurrah was "Where Can You Go which opened with a catchy guitar intro by Talton. Boyer showed his guitar versatility on an unnamed in- strumental number which Cow- boy used to excel in. The band jammed a good bit, but much of it sounded uninspired and blatantly dull. Cowboy has refused to live in the past, as many bands do, and possibly may suffer for it. The new material fails to match the old Cowboy's inventiveness and melody. The old Cowboy sounded fresh and very much alive, as if playing for fun. The new Cowboy seems to be out to earn that badly needed dollar - music has become an income for Boyer and Talton. Consequently, their music suffers for it.

In fact, Charleston's skyline consists almost entirely of 18th and 19th oentury houses and churches nestled together in the city's 789-acre historic district. So where will the thousands of visitors to the Spdeto Festival this May 25-June 5 stay? Can there possibly be enough rooms? According to Sallie T. Kramer who is managing the Spoleto Housing Bureau for the Chamber of Commeo the answer is "Yes "There are plen of rooms says Ms. Kr mer. "There are hotel rooms as well as rooms in people's houses. Ms. Kramer points out that even though late May is a typically popular time in Charleston, 22 Charleston hotels have committed rooms to the Festival and an additional 57 hotels from Myrtle Beach to Savannah have also reserved rooms for allocation by the Spoleto Housing Bureau. To date, over 3,1 OX) hotel rooms are available for Spoleto visitors. All of those rooms will be booked through the Spoleto Housing Bureau. The Housing Bureau will also arrange accommodations in private residences for visitors upon request. Homes, apart- ments and beach houses and rooms with private baths in homes are available for rent through the Bureau. The Spoleto Festival Ac- commodations Guide lists all available public accommoda- tions and tells you everything from what the price range is to whether pets are allowed. The Guide is available free from the Spoleto Housing Bureau, P.O. Box 975, Charleston, S.C. 29402. When the thousands of visitors do arrive and become comfortably housed, they will be able to participate in a Festival which will surely live up to its reputation as "the world's most comprehensive arts festival Events already scheduled in- clude opera, ballet, drama, chamber music, visual arts, choral music, lectures, films, and mini-festivals with poetry, crafts, story telling, instant theatre, mime and music. The Festival schedule is arranged so that visitors can participate in a variety of events over a 2-3 day period. Many events will be free. Ticket prices for most other performances range from $1 to $10. Ticket application forms will be available in early March and may be requested by contacting Spoleto Festival U.S.A P.O.

Gillman jumps into a job that has, kept only three coaches for more than three years during the 44 years of ECU basketball. The 28-year old native of Mt. Vernon, N.Y who bears a striking resemblance to Clemson's coach, Bill Foster, feels he can make a winner out of East Carolina, not just on the present level, but against the top competition in the nation. "This is ACC country right now, but we're going to try and change that. San Francisco faced the same problem trying to compete with UCLA, but it was successful. The kids gravitate to UCLA and the big schools, but I think we can change that. �' I want to rise and I want to rise quickly. Some people in North Carolina are going to laugh at that, I know That is a very tall order for Gillman, but he has been successful in the past with recruiting and hopes to continue. In a television interview recently, Gillman said, "I'm going to try to bring in some of the kids I have been recruiting for USF in here. And we are going to continue to recruit the same people the past staff has been recruiting Gillman was an all-county player in his high school days at Tuckahoe High School in Mt. Vernon, N.Y. and played a year and a half of college basketball before ending his career with an ankle injury. While still an undergraduate, he assisted with the team at Mt. Vernon that won two successive New York state titles. No other team has ever done that. That team included Earl Tatum, formerly of Marquette and now with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Williams brothers - Gus of the Golden State Warriors, Ray of the University of Minnesota and Sam, now with San Francisco, as well as former all-America Rudy Hackett of Syracuse. "There is another Williams around in junior college Gillman said. "Maybe we can bring him in here From Mt. Vernon, Gillman went to Westchester Community College, serving as an assistant on a team that went 35-3 in twc years. Gillman worked as an assistant at the University of Houston fa year before moving on to San Francisco. There in 1974, he recruited the team of now-sophomores that was ranked first in the nation for much of this season. In September, 1975, Gillman went to Minnesota to work on the staff the year after the recruiting scandal of 1974-75. After a year at the Big Ten xhool, Gillman moved back to San Francisco, where he has been the past year. When asked about plans for a staff at ECU, Gillman said he had no comment, although it has been learned that Billy Lee, a graduate assistant on the Dave Patton staff, will likely receive a full-time position with Gillman. Gillman said he would have two full-time assistants and one grad assistant. Gillman said he thought he oould gain support from the students and from the community, a oommunity where ACC basketball is king. "IT I didn't think I could do the job, I wouldn't be here. A winning team will bring the people in and that is what I plan to have�a winning oolorful team Gillman said he plans to use an aggressive offense and defense, pressing as much as possible. "We want to make the other team make as many mistakes as we can. The more they turn the ball over, the more chances we' II have to score. And, with more chances to score, we'll get more points Gillman plans to work with Ath.etic Director Bill Cain to build the schedule up. East Carolina already has Indiana for an opener next year at Bloomington, Indiana, as well as four ACC teams on the road. "I haven't had a chance to meet with the players, but I'm going to tell them right away that our first objective is to beat Indiana Gillman thinks being an independent will help with recruiting, because "we'll be able to play anyone TALL ORDER Gillman has a tall order brnging a winning basketball program to East Carolina. There are several reasons: a limited budget; com- peting against the TV audience of the ACC schools; and changing the attitude with which ECU basketball is taken by its fans. Gillman is a most energetic man with a lot of new ideas-good ideas. If he can overcome the odds of the budget, the ACC and gain support within the campus and oommunity he oould do the job. Open with win Pirates beat Baptists, 3 move to nationals By KIP SLOAN Staff Writer Under Saturday afternoon's threatening skysEast Carolina's track and field team soundly defeated Baptist College by a score of 77-63. The first events of the day were the field skills, with George Jackson taking the long jump with a 22'10" leap. Robert Bailey won both the shot put (46' 7") and the discus events (151'), and was the only double winner in the meet. ECU sprinters swept the 440, with Charlie Moss winning in 48.84, Terry Perry next at 49.01, and James Freeman third at 49.70. ECU'S relay teams started the day off with a dropped baton in the 440, but turned in a better performance in the mile relay. ECU'S uncontested mile re- lay team (Moss, Perry, Free- man, Franklin) ran the distance in 319.1, with alternate relay squads 2nd and 3rd. In the high hurdles, Bobby Phillips(ECU) took the 120 yard event in 14.92. ECU took 2nd and 3rd in the 220, then came back to win the 100. Carter Suggs took the 100 yd dash in 9.54, followed by teammate Alston at 9.58 to grab the first two places. ECU swept all three places in the triple jump. Herman Mclntyre easily took the win with a flight of 49'11 with teammate Mike Hodge grub- bing second with 47-1 W, and George Jackson taking a close third (47'1"). A surprise showing of stren- gth in the distance events by ECU kept the score close, although Baptist had the Easter men of the day. Lenny Phelps ran in his first mile race since high school to press Baptist's Wradwell all the way to the tape. Wradwell won in 4:15, with Phelps finishing less than a second behind with a career best time. Jim Willett moved up from the 880 to also run the mile, but was slowed with a throat infection. The final event of the day was the three mile run, in which Baptist again took the win. ECU'sJim Dill led the race from the 6th lap over Baptist's Mwobobia as the two pulled well away from the rest of the field. At the gun lap Mwobobia took the lead for good and pulled away to take the event in 14:32, followed by Dill in 14:40 (career best). Lenny Phelps came back from his earlier mile to finish 5th for ECU. Although the team still has rough edges, their first home meet showed individual stren- gth. Some improved considera- bly, while others maintained fast performances. The sprinters put on a good show as usual, but it oould have been even better-three of the fastest men were absent. Marvin Rankins, Larry Aus- tin, and Otis Melvin were with coach Bill Carson in preparation for the National Indoor Champ- ionships at Detroit. Melvin and Austin both qualified for the 60 yard dash while Rankins qualified for the 60 yard high hurdles. (Melvin was subsequently injured and will not compete). Rankins has run the hurdles in 7.2 seconds, � with Austin docking a 6 second performance last year. Avoiding injuries, East Carolina'steam should definite- ly improve this year. East Carolina will host ten other teams next weekend at the ECU Invitational Meet. Both men's and women's teams will begin competition early Satur- day.

Sports Editor From the moment the man begins to talk, he is impressive. His presence as he speaks, the manner in which he weighs what he plans to say, and finally, his actual words; ail these lend to the imposing air which surrounds him. Yet Bill Carson is ppproachable. In twelve years that he has been coaching track, Carson has seen a number of good teams, including his 1965 Southern Conference championship Fur- man team and his 1976 Champ- ionship East Carolina squad. To him, though, his current team ranks as one of the best. Composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores, the emphasis might seem to be on rebuilding. But with young talent providing ne basis and returning veterans providing stability and maturity, the East Carolina team has turned the future into the present. Carson himself expressed his opinion on the strength and talent of the Pirates: "I don't think there are fifteen, twenty teams in the entire United States'it we can't take or that are any better than us talent- wise Coach Carson seems happy about his talent; "We've got so many people ranked in the top twenty, top thirty in their event, 'SCHEDULE' March 19 ECU Invitational March 26 East Coast Invitational April 2 State Record Relays April 9 Carolina Relays April 15-16 Dogwood Relays April 22-23 Mountaineer Relays April 29-30 Southern Conference May 7, NCSU Invitational May 13-14 Pitt Invitational June 1-4, NCAA National Champ.

Pirate tennis teams have not done well, but in keeping with the strength cur- rently exhibited by ECU'S spring sports teams, the tennis program has come into its own. Now 2-1, the Pirates face the 'remainder of their demanding 19 match schedule with an amazingly well-balanced blend of junior and senior experience and freshman enthusiasm. Led by head coach Randy Randolph and assistant Rich Friedl, the Pirates look to be one of the most improved teams in the Southern Conference. Headlining the team at the number one singles spot is junior Tom Durfee, from Tole- do, Ohio. Durfee, who was named "most improved player" in 1976, has played number one for the Pirates the past three years. Quick and strong, Durfee is an excellent athlete with an excellent attitude. Senior Jim Ratliffe of High Point is currently number two in singles. His consistent baseline game is greatly en- hanced by his hard, twisting serve. Coach Randolph said Ratliffe "has really improved over last year. He's left-handed and has one of the best forehands i've seen Consistent Doug Getsinger is a very steady player from Gddsboro. He is constantly counted on for a good match. Versatile, he is able to play a'l types of games; either baseline or serve and volley. He plays number three singles while being matched with Tom Durfee at number one doubles. Playing number four singles and number three doubles with Jim Ratliffe is Mitch Pergerson, a senior from Roxboro, The "Most Valuable Player" for the Pirates in 1976, he is one of the current crop of Pirates who can play a steady and consistent baseline game. Very competi- tive, he has come back from bad situations to clinch crucial wins for the Pirates. Coach Randolph describes his number five player, Henry Hostettler as "doing all his talking with his racket Hostet- tler was a walk-on last fall, and has beaten everyone on the team at least once in challenge matches. Another player capa- ble of playing the steady game, Hostettler has unbelievably quick reflexes and can hit almost anything back. One of the hardest workers on the team is the number six singles player, Kenny Love. He teams up with fellow freshman Hostettler to form the number two doubles team. His competi- tiveness can be seen in his style of play and his actions on court. Injured against High Point, he wouldn't give up and almost had to be dragged off the court. From Winston-Salem, he is vital to the team as a spark-plug. Robert Molten holds down the number seven position. A freshman from Gastonia he will be counted on heavily for leadership of the Pirates in the future. Number eight Mike Murrad is a freshman who is recovering from a serious illness. Sidelined during fall practice, he is coming back with determination and patience. His attitude, like all of the Pirates, is "just super Freshman Thomas Lipe is the team's manager. From Albermarle he has been indis- pensable to the team. As Coach Randolph related, "We just couldn't have a team without Tommy Running throughout the coach's comments were the words consistency and attitude. When asked about that, he gave this reply: "Well, one a two people with bad attitudes can hurt the team, it can rub off. Half of a player's game is his attitude; he can't win with a bad one. Consistency can be affec- ted by a bad attitude; and consistency is so important. As an individual sport, tennis can be repetitive; it is essential that a player be able to consistently hit the ball down the line, or to consistently hit his first serve in Coaches Randolph and Fri- edl relate well to the blended team they assembled; this will be an additional factor in the season ahead. With impressive victories over Salisbury State and Campbell tucked away, the Pirates are looking no further ahead than Southern Confer- ence for William and Mary Wednesday. It should te an interesting match for the visi- tors from East Carolina. It could be the start of something great; tennis at East Carolina. Football practice begins, look for winning season Spring football practice will open at ECU Thursday, as Coach Pat Dye begins prepar- ations for his fourth season with the Pirates. Over the previous three years, Dye has fielded teams with records of 7-4, 8-3 and 9-2, winning the Southern Conference Championship last year. The coaching staff has four areas of major concentration during spring drills, each con- sidered to be a question mark fa 1977. "Our top priority has to be in the secondary said Dye. "We must find three players that can be winners to replace the three graduated seniors. "Second, we must have one or two quarterbacks to step forward. I'm confident in the ability of our players at the position, but someone must step up and do the job Leading candidates for quarterback are Jimmy Souther- land, Leander Green and Steve Greer. Other possible candi- dates are Joe Powell and Tony Tripp. "In the offensive line, we have to find a replacement at center, left guard, left tackle and tight end continued Dye. Overall depth at all positions will also be an area of concen- tration during the spring drills. The final two weekends of spring drills will feature scrim- mage games in Ficklen Stadium. On Saturday, April 2, an Alumni Game will be held, pitting the 1977 team against various members of previous teams at East Carolina. On Friday, April 8, the annual Purple-Gold Game will be held.
