As a result of supply store expansion ECU academic scholarships discontinued By LOUIS TA YLOR Staff Writer The ECU Academic Scholar- ships have been discontinued, apparently as a result of the recent expansion of the ECU student supply store, according to Robert M. Boudreaux, financial aid officer. Funds normally earmarked for these scholarships will be used to help pay back a $400,000 loan secured to finance the store's expansion, according to C.G. Moore, vice-chancellor for busi- ness affairs. These four-year, $1,000 per year scholarships have been given annually to 12 to 15 high school graduates who have de- monstrated exceptional scholastic abilities. Although the scholarships will be discontinued beginning Fall semester, 1977, past recipients will not be affected, Boudreaux added. "These recipients will be automatically continued provided their academic performances do not fall below the accepted level said Boudreaux. "We feel this (cutback) is tiiporary said Boudreaux. "When a business expands its facilities, you expect its profits will also grow N.C. law requires that all student supply store profits above operating costs go to scholar- ships, according to Moore. "In the past few years, this total has been about $60,000 said Boudreaux. "For 1977-78 we're basing out projections on $35,000 to $40,000. National Merit Scholarships and resources scholarships, also supported by the unrestricted funds will not be affected, according to Boudreaux "In fact, we feel that the Merit scholarships will be up- graded by the discontinuance of the academic scholarships added Boudreaux. The Merit Scholarships are $500 to $1500 awards given for academic excellence, while the resources scholarships are given to students in emergency situa- tions, like student teaching, ac- cording to Boudreaux. The latter awards are usually about $50. Boudreaux said the Student Scholarship, Fellowship, and Fi- nancial Aid Committee, reevalu- ates the financial aid situation annually. He added that rein- statement wasa strong possibility if the situation improved. Supply store manager Joe Clark attributed the expansion to increased demand of certain school supplies, a growing need for warehouse space, and a need for more shelf space. "The art supplies department will be increased three times, and the trade book section will also be greatly increased said Clark. "The demand in these areas is growing too fast to keep the shelves stocked, and we just do not have the warehouse space to store these supplies. "We moved into the present facility in 1965 said Clark. The plans were drawn up in 1961. Since that time, enrollment and demand have grown tremen- dously Clark said the supply store never sold more than half the books on the shelves at the beginning of a term and that warehouse space was also needed needed for these books. Since the supply store must operate self-sufficiently, the cut- backs in the scholarships were necessary to fund the expansion, Clark said. "We don't get a penny from th state of North Carolina fa- salaries, utilities, equipment, or expansion said Clark. Besides the rent-free build- ing, the store is completely free from state funding, according to Moore. According to Clark, the ex- pansion will increase the sales area to about 100,000 square feet, about a 90 per cent increase. In addition, there will now be about 3,300 square feet of ware- house space. WECU faces fall semester problems By MARGARET PHOENIX Staff Writer WECU. East Carolina Univer- sity' s closed-circuit radio station, may not be broadcasting next ar unless new transmitters are bought, according to the station's general manager, John Deavor. Chuck Lee. WECU's student ;ineer, agrees that there is a need for new transmitters, but feels the old ones could suffice "It wouldn't be practical to ?p the old transmitters work- said Lee. The money spent on repairs, and aprts which come from Pen- nsylvania and equipment for repairs on the old transmitters could be used towards the high cost of the new ones Lee said. Eighteen transmitters are used to broadcast to 15 buildings on campus, including Mendenhall Student Center, but only 11 out of those 15 are operable at this time, according to Le These transmitters have blown out two or three times said Lee. " They are the old tube- type, which are not even made anymore, and they were put in by people who did not make them Deavor cited lack of money as biggest problem in purchas- ing the new transmitters. "Fifteen transmitters, at $750 a piece, will cost about $11,000 Deavor said.

Thonen case proves First Amendment freedoms still exist for college students THONEN By DENNIS LEONARD Advertising Manager Free speech has been protec- ted in the United States for over 200 years. But in 1971, an ECU student was denied his First Amendment free speech rights. Robert Thonen, FOUNTAIN- HEAD editor in 1970-71, was expelled from ECU for publishing a letter-to-the-editor which con- tained an expletive directed at Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins on the visitation policy. According to Thonen, tit; printed the letter by approval from the Publications Board. Thonen was taken before the Honor Council and charged with "conduct unbecoming of a stu- dent The Honor Council expelled Thonen upon his conviction. "That year we felt that there should be a provision for the publication of uncensored opin- ions said Thonen. "The Publi- cations Board approved this on the basis that we didn't violate any local, state, or federal laws According to Thonen, a clash occurred between the administra- tion and FOUNTAINHEAD's editorial policy. We opposed the administra- tion on several things that year said Thonen. "We were concern- ed with the accreditation of Joyner Library, felt that more academic areas needed attending to, and opposed Jenkins' plans to run for governor. "I understood the position of the administration said Thonen. "They had the image of the school to keep in mind and didn't need any more problems "But if a college press can't freely examine contemporary and controversial questions he added, "then where may this be done? Thonen sued Jenkins for violating his First Amendment free speech rights. Thonen maintained in the law suit that FOUNTAINHEAD was protected by the First Amend- ment, even though it was a college publication. According to Dr. Tinsley E. Yarbrough, political science pro- fessor, the courts have held that if a school chooses to operate a newspaper, the administration cannot unreasonably interfere with the editorial decision of the paper. "In Papish vs. Board of Curators (1973) the Supreme Court ordered the reinstatement of a student who was suspended for campus distribution of a newspaper which contained a political cartoon of policemen raping the Statue of Liberty and Goddess of Justice said Yar- brough. According to Yarbrough, the Supreme Court has maintained that studentsare protected by the First Amendment.

Jenkins appealed the case to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fourth Circuit reaffirmed the lower court's decision which allowed Thonen's reinstatement. Today Jenkins feels the courts ruled correctly because Thonen had rights under the First Amendment. "I think that all arguments regarding the press that go to the courts result in some good said Jenkins. "It reveals the good of the judicial system and it gives a chance to hear both sides Jenkins still remains under court restraint to refrain from imposing on student publications. Thonen came back to school in the Fall of 1976 to complete his undergraduate work that was stopped during the trial proce- dure. The Thonen vs. Jenkins case further proves college students are protected by the Constitution specifically in the First Amend- ment area. ends. SGA President Neil Sessoms thanked the legislature for its accomplishments this year, men- tioning that the ECU SGA is the second largest in the nation, after UCLA. The legislature passed a reso- lution expressing its appreciation of Debbie Greiner, Gini Ingram, Tim McLeod, Gary Miller, and Kim Taylor for their service as cabinet members during the past year. Three thousand dollars was appropriated for the senior gift of bus shelters at Mendenhall and Speight. Also appropriated was $6,790 for the purchase of a specially equipped van to trans- port handicapped students about Greenville. The constitutions of the Col- lege Republicans, Beta Kappa Alpha, and the Chess Club were approved. A resolution thanking Ricky Price, speaker of the legislature passed unanimously. The legislature also passed a recommendation to next year's legislature to appropriate $3,000 to the School of Music and $30,000 to the ECU Playhouse. The position of Inventory Spe- cialist was created to keep track of the use and condition of SGA owned equipment, with a monthly salary of $50. The ECU cheerleaders receiv- ed $2,221 after an hour's debate on the subject. An appropriation of $2,385 was made to the Student Welfare Committee for a consumer infor- mation booklet to be published this summer. In dosing, Speaker Price said goodbye, stating that 114 bills and resolutions were passed this year, that he was happy to have been able to serve the students.

Representation on the basis of departments and schools seems reasonable. It has advantages over the present system. If we do reconstruct the system, it would be wise to consider all possible flaws or objections in a new system. Encouragement of stu- dent input would mean more ideas and fresh criticisms. This lessens the chance that a bad system will be replaced with a worse one. The screenings for legislators could be eliminated if a system could be worked out where fall elections would include an alter- nate legislator (seoond highest number of votes) in case the first legislator became unable to serve. Those concerned might also consider the district system which I found, after a little research, is used successfully at Chapel Hill. ECU students may find a few ideas that can be drawn from this system and it is sure to widen our range of ideas. Concerning the "reasoning" for reconstruction in the editorial, I thought it was contradictory. The legislators were trying to represent the students. By up- holding the recall petition they were doing exactly as the stu- dents wanted or the students would not have petitioned for Society Blues To FOUNTAINHEAD: Society Blues I ask my teacher for some mercy, he sez "un un, there ain't no way I ask him what's my trouble then, and this is what he say He say "life can be a bitch, sometimes. There ain'i nothin' you can do, so stop tryin' to help yourself, and start living the society blues I talk to my teacher out of school one day, and I tell him I'm doing my very best. He sez "um urn brother, don't give me none of that jive I can tell all about you, all from my very own test. He say "life can be a bitch, sometimes, there ain't nothin' you can do.

If you do not believe that 15 percent of the student body is truly representa- tive in such a case, take it up with the SGA Constitution and spend your efforts in a revision of the Article of Recall. It was also stated that legis- lators "weed out" through screening those who do not share their established opinion. If you believe this to be their intent, I suggest that you have fallen victim to "McCarthyism (Major symptom: witch hunting.) The majority of legislators try to do their job, but they can become lazy or careless (a very human characteristic and not at all related to witches or demons). Under a better system of elections which would bring students and legislators closer together, our officials can be kept on their toes. E. Marena Wright J.P. Stevens Textile Co. defended To FOUNTAINHEAD: Only one-fifth of the labor foroe in the U.S. is organized into unions. At J.P. Stevens, employ- ees have rejected the TWUA in 11 of 12 elections held, preferring to deal with the management direct- ly because Union presenoe has historically led to strife and dis- cord over issues that can be set- tled amicably when the relation- ship is based on mutual respect. The TWUA began a massive campaign in 1963 as part of an AFL-CIO drive to organize the south. Its prime target has been J.P. Stevens. Today, 14 years later-after 40 organizing cam- paigns and 15 requests for secret-ballot electionsthe Union has won only one Stevens elec- tion, and that by a narrow margin. If the Union is suppos- edly so beneficial for workers, why does it have such a record of defeat? The Union's denuncia- tions of Stevens are obvious efforts to make this Company the whipping boy for its general failures, throughout the south. Stevens has been seeking a oontract covering plants in Roa- noke Rapids, N.C where the single victory occurred, with union representatives. The Com- pany has made repeated propo- sals and oounter-proposals in the negotiations, but to no avail. The Union's charge that the company has failed to bargain fairly should be judged in the context of its own bargaining history: there have been 15 Labor Board decisions against Stevens, 3 of which were overturned by the court. On the other hand, there have been at least 18 Labor Board decisions against the Union. By calling a boyoott of Ste- vens' products, the Union leaders are living up to what the oompany has, through the years, told its employees about them. They are specifically proving that they will readily sacrifice the interst of the employees-and of anybody else who may be affected-in order to increase their own power. Some studies blame low wages on the lack of unionization in some states. However, govern- ment statistics show that indus- tries with high degrees of union- ization do not necessarily pay top wages, nor does a low rate of unionization necessarily mean low wages. In each of the last 10 years, wages at Stevens have increased an average of 7. A representa- tive Stevens production employee earns $3.98 an hour, with Com- pany funded fringe benefits that can add another 25 to waqes. Stevens' fringe benefits consti- tute a comprehensive package covering medical and life insur- ance, pension plan, holidays, tuition assistance, and time off for personal needs such as family funerals and jury duty. Stevens Pension Plan is not only one of the best in textiles, but competitive with all Southern industry, as is its group insurance package. Stevens recognizes without qualification that employees have the undeniable right to be repre- sented by a union. However, the National Labor Relations Act specifically states that employees have as much right to oppose a union as they have to join one, and that likewise, the employer has the right to express to employees his opposition to the unionization of employees and his reasons for such opposition. Ever since the Union's victory at Roanoke Rapids, employee disen- chantment has steadily mounted toward it. Johnny D. Carter Pranks could upset Uncle Sam Jack "BluesHarp" Mason To FOUNTAINHEAD: I am writing you due to an incident that occurred Monday night. Pranks are pranks, but destroying federal property is another incident. On Monday night, reported around 3O0 a.m the Alpha Phi house was visited by some guys, whether they were fraternity guys or independents is unknown. On Tuesday morning I noticed that our mailbox's side steel bolt had been jimmied off, probably by a crowbar, and the red flag was gone. Admittedly, this was not a tragic theft, but the tampering with the United States mail is a felony and it does cause inconvenience for the house as well as the mailman. Pranksters should think twice before pulling such stupid, childish stunts. No one thinks they are funny - only terribly immature. Immaturity seems to be evident in many various groups of guys at ECU because many incidents have occurred at our house which were terribly stupid and some quite devastating to us. Please think through these "fun" outings before doing damage to one's property. Your outings are not "fun" to us.

Forum Soccer Captain clarifies position 17 May 1977 FOUNTAINHEAD ToFOUNTAINHEAD: There seems to be a few misconceptions about what has or has not been said regarding the cancellation of the soccer pro- gram. In last Thursday's edition, Vicky Loose stated her opinion on the matter. On the whole, the article was well conceived but she misses on a few points. Fa one, I realize that Title IX does not mention anywhere that there has to be an equal number of men's and women's sports. I don't know which articles Miss Loose has read but all the articles I've read, including the one she mentioned in the News and Observer, do not insinuate an equal number of teams. This aspect, I realize, has no bearing regarding Title IX. The equal number of teams is the Athletic Advisory Councirs choice. For another, she mentioned the point of equal funding. I also realize that there can not be equal funding of men's and women's sports due to the nature of major college football and basketball. These sports are inherently more expensive arid they also generate most of the revenue for athletics. Granted, at first, that was one of the reasons given for the cancellation of soccer. That was, initially, one of the reasons given to me by the administration. But as I probed a little deeper, I found this was not really the case. The advisory council was concerned about fielding a quality team with the money we were receiving. They obviously felt that we Peace, adventure found in Christ ToFOUNTAINHEAD: I am not a wayward youth as was indicated by the title given to Mark Franke's letter to the FOUNTAINHEAD a few weeks ago but I too have found that Jesus Christ makes the differ- ence. Snce I was old enough to crawl my parents made sure that the church was a part of my life and this is not uncommon fa many of the students here at ECU considering that we live in the so called Bible Belt. Although I grew up in the church and tried to live a "good Christian life" I never really understood what it meant to be a Christian. My definition of a Christian was someone who obeyed the 10 commandments, went to church every Sunday and tried to be a basically good person. It was not until later that someone explained to me that the wad Christian means "Christ in one" and you become a Christian by simply asking Christ to come in your heart by faith. One day two guys came by my room and shared with me how I oould have a pasonal relation- ship with Jesus. I was not the most religious guy on campus but I had seen how much they enjoyed living and I knew that this was something I wanted.

"You can get all the gas you want said Corso. Corso said there may be a shortage of unleaded gas at some stations, but there is more regular gas now than at any time in history. Corso cited an article in a trade magazine which states that there are 20 million more barrels of gas than a year ago. Each barrel contains 42 gal- lons of gas.

"As far as I can tell, we're still getting the same amount of gas said Norville. "We're not having any prob- lems getting gas from terminals. "I think there will be more of a shortage of energy, but not regular gas said Norville. Mervin Taylor, manager of a Texaco service station on Charles Boulevard, said there might be gas rationing during the summer. "If they limit us to a certain number of gallons, we will have a $3 gas limit per customer said Taylor. Curt Smith, manager of Amo- co on Tenth Street, said others have told him there may be a shortage of premium gas. "The customers don't oon- serve gas even if they think there might be a gas shortage said Smith. Corso said the so-called gas shortage may really mean a shortage of oil and natural gas for home heating, but he admitted that he is unfamiliar with the facts. Smith said most people who use gas for home heating will probably cut back due to high bills.

"We have more cases of neglect right now Keel said. Although many persons feel that abuse and neglect are physical, other forms, such as verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect, are equal- ly damaging. When child abuse or neglect exists within a family, the entire family suffers, Keel said. Help can be found for the child abuser and his family through the Protective Services of the County Department of Social Services. Other services vary from county to county. One such service is Parents Anonymous. "There is no Parents Anony- mous group for Pitt County as of right now, but work toward organization of one is being done Keel stated. "Any such resource is helpful in abuse and neglect cases How can a person tell whether a child has been abused or neglected? If a child is under 18, and has been beaten, burned, sexually molested, or injured in other ways, he has probably been abused. Further, if a child has been abandoned, left alone without adult supervision, or rejected, he has probably been neglected. According to Keel, there is a law against leaving a child under eight years old in an enclosure without adult supervision. "This law is in case of fire Keel said. When a person believes that a child has been abused or neglect- ed, he should contact the county department of social services. The informer should give the child's name and address, the parent's or guardian's name and address, the child's age, what happened to the child, as well as his own name, address, and telephone number. "In 1971, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Child Abuse Reporting Law Keel stated. "A professional should report suspected child abuse. A non-professional must report child abuse when he has actual knowledge of the situa- tion This law protects informers who act in good faith, those who reported to help, not hurt, someone. "Many times, parents who are going through divorce pro- ceedings and want to have custody of the children accuse each other of abuse and neglect Keel said. "There may not beany actual abuse or neglect, just hard feelings on the part of the parents Some causes of child abuse and neglect stem from parents who might have personal pro- blems, lack enough money for food and medical care, or are unemployed. "A lot of parents who abuse or neglect their children are under a lot of stress Keel explained. "In their own way, they are asking for help Aocording to Keel, parents many times do not understand child care. "These parents may not real- ize they are neglecting their children Keel said. "A local homemaker can be called in to help the parents learn proper parental skills If Protective Services cannot help a parent who abuses or neglects his children, court action may be taken to remove the children from the home. The Department of Social Services then has responsibility for the children's supervision. "Each situation is different Keel stated. "Removing the children from their natural home is a last resort. When the children are separated from their parents, they are placed in a foster home. Foster homes are licensed by the State Department of Human Resources. Length of stay for a child in foster care is difficult to predict. The Department of Social Ser- vices seeks to establish a perma- nent home for each child. "There has been a growing emphasis on understanding child abuse and neglect Keel said. "This emphasis has made people more aware of how to detect and treat such cases March was designated as Child Abuse and Neglect Month in North Carolina. A public awareness campaign, known as SCANPAC, has been formed to educate the public on child abuse and neglect. "The group oonsists of mem- bers from the local Mental Health Department, doctors, teachers, and laymen Keel noted. "Since they operate from a zero budget base, the oommunity must be- come involved From July 1,1975, to June 30, 1976, 1,472 cases of child abuse had been confirmed by county departments in North Carolina.

A film, "Alaska: Land in the Balance explained some of the conservation problems in the state and the Sierra Club's proposals to perserve approxi- mately 39 per cent of the state. Hersh McNail, a Sierra Club member, explained the problems and proposals and answered questions. The Alaskan issue is the Sierra Club's highest priority this year. Rep. Mo Udall, chairman of the House Interior Committee, has introduced legislation favored by a number of conservation groups collectively known as the Alaska Coalition, which includes the Sierra Club, according to McNail. The legislation would protect whole, relatively undisturbed, ecosystems, according to McNail. Preservation is needed to protect these areas from rapidly increasing commercial develop- ment, according to McNail. The Udall bill would oonserve 145 million acres. Another bill is expected to be introduced by the Department of Interior in the fall which would set aside only 83 million acres. "Our organization's purpose is to support conservation and environmental issues said Dr. Earl Trevathan, chairman of the, local Cypress Group of the Sierra Club. "And to support activities Sick of air pollution? In some parts of our country the answer is literally, "yes And incredible as it sems, some folks want low enough federal silfrroardssolhat we all can suffer from equally pollutectair.

The Club has a two-prong thrust;one, in the area of conservation and the other in outings, according to Dr. Treva- than. "Our own area of interest is the fragile ooastline and water- ways that are embraced in the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) said Dr. Trevathan. "We are interested in perserving the law and establish Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) A bill to repeal CAMA has been introduced in the N.C. General Assembly. CAMA em- braces the 20 counties in the coastal area. According to CAMA, AEC's are ooastal areas of more than local significance where uncon- trolled or incompatible develop- ment could result in major or irreversible damage. Examples of AEC's proposed by the N.C. Coastal Resources Commission include estuaries, swamplands, ocean beaches, frontal dunes, water sheds, and areas that sustain remnant spe- cies, a unique geologic forma- tions. Hearings for designation of AEC's are being held in each of the 20 counties through May 18. "It's more than a matter of land use and management, but one of preservation said Dr. Trevathan. "Eastern N.C. is richly blessed with opportunities for outdoor recreation "There are a number of relatively primitive waterways that have not been totally moles- ted or destroyed by man The Cypress Group is also concerned with phosphate min- ing, Cape Lookout National Sea- shore, creation of Pooosin Wil- derness in the Croatan National Park, pesticide use, and bottle bills, according to Dr. Trevathan. "The chapter has an active lobbyist in Raleigh on issues of conservation interest said Dr. Trevathan. The group has organized outings at least every other week during the year and anyone can participate, according to Dr. Trevathan. The Cypress Group has ap- proximately 150 members and embraces 25 counties northeast of Jacksonville, N.C. Anyone interested in any Cypress Group activities or mem- bership can contact Mrs. Ruth Trevathan, 752-3365. dogging -a tradition Clogging is an old danoe form derived from native dances of the Scottish, Irish, and English. "In thisoountry people would get together to play music and others would dance to it said tne long brown-haired, blue- jeaned girl. 'The rise and success of bluegrass festivals have made this traditionally Southern Af palachian dance popular through- out the nation. The 20 member Green Grass Cloggers have performed their style of clogging as far away as Maine. They have attended the Philadelphia Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival in Wash- ington, D.C. The group travels to a festival 8omewtere almost every week- end of the summer. Fa the past three years the cloggers have traveled in a delapidated school bus they re- novated called 'Skillet " It's always weird to set out in the bus and not know if we're going to get there said Jordan, an ECU foreign language major See CLOGGERS, pg. 9) Marquee by David R. Bosnick Grand finale Cinema is both the easiest and the hardest form of the performing arts. It isthe easiest because there is no limit to the effects that can be obtained when one is able to stop, dl der and create to fit the need. It has the greatest potential for revisio and there is not a sense of the necessary metamorphosis a film goet hrouqh before completion. It is this same colossal ability that makes it he most demanding of the arts. With all of the freedom of sense that the director is allowed, if there is anything less than a perfect creative interpretation of his intent, the movie is a failure. There is no excuse, as there is in the continually shifting dynamics of theatre. If this insistence upon excellence seems harsh it may well be. There isa great deal of work that goes into the cheapest "B" flick, and often a sincerity of positive creation. There is a difference, however, between intelligent creative suspension of reality and mere entertainment. Effecting that difference is the essence of cinema. That was the lead of the first Marquee column of the year. I still feel it isessentiallyoorrect, but I would like to add one less poetic, but more direct line to its content. To aspire to less, is to be a whore, and to accept less is to pay her. Films are more than mirror reflections of experience: more than mere spectacle and surprise. Films can discover and display the intimacies of character of our predicament. We are the smartest beast on this planet, and we have nothing to believe in. This reviewer refuses to admit that belief is necessary for effort and achievement. One finds a vehicle for their artistic energies beyond the necessary bureaucratic structure. If one chooses films, one must aspire; if one chooses criticism, one must expect. Criticism is the scab on the ass of great art. True and sincere creation needs no applause or assurances. It assimilates beauty of a similar caliber and stimulates imitation. To this imitation, criticism is the only sounding board. Criticism informs the imitator that he is not fooling the people he needs to deceive. Criticism is the necessary floodgate fa rank commercialism and egotism in art. There is a difference between what needs to be said, (drawn, filmed, written) and what the artist needs to do. That is the essence of inspiration. Films and drama are far nrare impatant than the actas and directas involved. They have inoaporated themselves into the walds where artists like Ibsen, Miller and Bergman have dedicated their lives. When treated as a mere business, inspiration becomes monotony, and aeation degenerates into imitation. Enta the aitic. This isthe last Marquee column. There are many people to thank, things to say and take back, feelings to be repaired. I have na been a liaison of good will between the Drama department, theatres, and FOUNTAINHEAD. Fa them, I have no explanations a rationale, merely this stay. When Winston Churchill was prime Minister, he was attending a reaction and got properly inebriated.

Tomarow maning when I wake up, I shall be aer And walked off. To be predecessa fa next year, I wish you well and quote Vonnegut to you, as he did to me; "Welcome to the Monkey House HAVE A GOOD SUMMER C 17 May 1977 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 9 Green Grass Cloggers enjoy popularity Continued from pg. 8 from Washington, D.C. "We're used to spending a oouple of hours at gas stations or by the side of the road. "On our way to Maine, it broke down in Rhode Island and some of us had to hitch up. After the festival we picked the bus up in Rhode Island. On the way back we had a flat tire and then broke down again in Alexandria, Va. So we all ate breakfast at my mom's house Luckily for the cloggers, they don't plan to use the bus this year because of its unreliability. They are selling bumper stickers for 75 cents apiece to raise money for a new bus. The retirement of 'Skillet' probably won't keep unusual things from happening to them on their travels. Once in New Bern, N.C. the stage collapsed while they were dancing, according to Brian DeMarcus, who is the tall, long blond-haired leader of the cloggers. "One year at the Fiddlers Convention, I got one of my taps caught between the planks of the stage said DeMarcus, who is also the defending oollard eating champion of the Ayden (N.C.) Collard Festival. He gulped down five pounds of oollards in 30 minutes. The cloggers practice once a week trying to work up new routines. The women members make the long dresses they wear on stage. The costumes are similar but each girl picks out her own material. The men buy western style shirts and the women sew on patches. Boots, bandanas, oow- boy hats, and taps oomplete their outfits. When they're not clogging, the cloggers, most of whom were ECU students at one time, work at diverse professions. "Several are teachers, one is an alcoholic rehabilitation oounselor, and we have a Pitt County VD inspector, a carpenter and some students Jordan said. The Green Grass Cloggers revolutionized clogging in some ways.

"Clogging, in our interpreta- tion, incorporates round dancing and western square dancing with our own steps said DeMar- cus. Two widely known steps are the double shuffle and the single shuffle. Each group has their own repertoire. The Green Grass Cloggers name steps after the member who made it up, such as, Erol'sstep, Karen's kick, and the Lone Ranger. The Green Grass Cloggers were formed in 1971 when a few friends went to Harper Van Hoy's Autumn Squareup at Fiddlers Grove, N.C, a square dance and clogging competition. They got some people to show them some basic steps there. When they returned to ECU, one of them, Dudley Culp, wanted to start a group. By word of mouth they got enough people interested in forming a group. They got a local resident, Betty Casey, who had been a pro- fessional square dance caller in Texas, to show them some square dance steps. -JACK LAIL The Library Ladies Night every Tuesday Gents Night every Sunday Open All Summer mmm mmmiiMmmm mm?

HVIV1 Page 10 FOUNTAINHEAD 17 May 1977 New record prices on upswing By ANNE HOGGE Sports Editor Over the past few months there has been a price increase on a select group of albums. This group now oosts $7.96 per album, at retail price, a one dollar or more increase over most album prices. There are various reasons given as to the increase. Rolling Stone cites some of them as increased shipping and distribu- tion oosts, the rising costs of petroleum-related raw materials, passing artists' contract costs on to the customer, and retailer greed. "The increase was made by the record companies in order to keep up with rising costs. I personally think that another reason may be related to the Carter administration. There has been talk of a price freeze, so the record companies wanted to make one last increase before it was enacted aocording to Tom Perryman, manager of .Apple record shop. "But so far the increase has only been on albums by proven artists, artists which the record companies know will sell said Perryman. "The increase is now in the experimental stage. Every- one will eventually test a top artist at $7 98 Jerry Young of Record Bar agrees. "The companies know that they won't lose money because they're dealing with their big names. The whole thing is called a 'selective price in- crease said Young. The increase began about four months ago with Columbia's release of "A Star Is Born the movie's soundtrack.

Queen's guitarist Brian May said in Rolling Stone, "As we understand the price change, it's part of an overall program to level off prices of records, tapes, and eight tracks. We're just upset that we've been used as the guinea pigs The album tape ratio is ano- ther given reason for the in- crease. "Companies have always wanted to equalize album and tape prices. We sell more eight tracks than cassettes because most cassette buyers record their own, and don't buy the pre- recorded tapes said Young. Since the increase, Perryman has seen eight track sales drop and cassette sales rise. "More customers are now recording their own said Perry- man. "There's also been an increase in blank tape sales, both cassette and eight track. But as far as trying to equalize sales, I personally would rather see tape prices drop than album prices rise Even if tape and album prices are eventually equalized, neither Young nor Perryman think that tape sales will overtake album sales. "I think there may be a rise in recorder sales, if not in tapes themselves said Perryman. "Two ore three people may pool their money together, buy an album, and then each record it The general price rise for albums will probably affect all types of music, mainly rock. "The increase will affect all types of music. Flock albums are already on the way up, and country, classical, and sound- tracks will soon follow accord- ing to Perryman. Both Perryman and Young Blow dealt OSHA (LNS)-A three-judge federal court in Boise, Idaho, delivered a critical blow recently to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) by declaring a key enforcement provision of the Act unconstitutional. The oourt ruled that OSHA safety inspections of workplaces without a search warrant based on probable cause constitute a violation of the Fourth Amend- ment. The ruling in the case, brought by a contractor in Pocatello, Idaho, is one of the first constitutional challenges to OSHA that has been upheld in the lower oourts and would appear to bar all inspections under the Act. OSHA has obtained a temporary order from Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist allowing con- tinued inspections pending a direct appeal to the U.S. Supreme said that the increase has not noticeably affected sales. But according to Perryman, the public is now becoming more selective about what they buy. "There will also be less experimentation of artists by the puL.c as long as prices are high said Young. Both stores place new albums on sale within a few weeks of their release in order to offset the price. Since Apple, formerly Rock N' Soul, has recently undergone a name change, new practices have been enacted to save the custom- er money. "We now place the Top 100 albums on sale for about one dollar off the regular price said Perryman. "We also rent albums overnight in order to give the customer who records their own tapes the chance to record without having to buy the album at full price. "All albums, at $7.98 or below, naturally sell better if they're on sale. Often, if an album is doing well while on sale but hits a slump when it goes back to the regular price, I'll put it back on sale Neither Apple, nor Record Bar sell albums for the suggested list price. Both offer a discount of about $1.30. There has been no apparent local protest to the increase. "While I couldn't boycott my own store, I urged customers not to buy the new Queen album when it was released said Young. "It didn't do any good Perryman expected some pro- test to the price-hike, but little came. "I hope the public isn't so apathetic that the rise doesn't bother them he said. "Before the increase, a customer would ask when a record would be on sale but buy it anyhow. Now when they ask, they're serious, they'll wait. They're more money con- scious. "But it's too late to protest. The record companies have al- ready gotten the idea of $7.96 albums in gear. It would take a statewide protest, with other states joining us, to get any attention There will probably not be another price rise in the near future. "The record oompanies have gotten enough static about this increase that they' II probably wait a while before imposing another one said Perryman. But all new albums by the top artists will probably be listed at $7.98. Neither Young nor Perryman think albums are worth the increased price. "I think they'd be worth it if they improved their quality said Young. "Mainly, though, it's a personal value judgment Perryman agreed on poor sound. "Albums today aren't worth what you pay for them he said. "Albums printed in the U.S. don't have the same sound quality as an import. I think import sales might increase if the record prices do. Since imports have a better quality, and are now in the same price range, why not buy an import?' If the increase is here to stay, what can be done about it? "Ideologically you can beat the increase by boycott, but realistically you can't said Young. "The only solution I can offer is to not buy anything except what's on sale. Some oompanies, if an album isn't selling except when it's on sale, will lower its price BIGGS DRUG STORE 300 EVANS ON THE MALL PHONE: 752-2136 'j?,a FREL PRESCRIPTION mamtfWJt pickup and delivery pmffufSfbu Prescription Dept. with medication profiles: your prescription always- at our fingertipseven though yon may lose your fL bottle.

Out of 52 nominees for the honor, Pete Conaty, a two-sport star, was voted the winner by a fairly large margin over second place Debbie Free- man, co-winner of last year's award. It's not often that a college athlete decides to play in two different sports in the same school year. And it's even more unusual for an athlete to excel in two different sports in one year. But Pete Conaty did just that. The 175-pound senior from Annandale, Va. led the Southern Conference in football in scoring and field goals and was one of the ace pitchers on the Southern Conference champion East Carolina baseball team. Conaty's 86 point1: were the best in the Southern Conference in football last season and the fifth best single season total in the school's history. He is the first kicker ever to lead East Carolina in scoring. The second string quarterback on the team, Conaty finished 15th in the nation in scoring and in the field goals. He hit on his first ten field goal attempts and was just one away from tying the NCAA mark of 11 in a row when he missed against Southern Illinois in the Pirates' fifth game of the season. Conaty was the nation's leading kick scorer for much of the season, but finished second to Pitt's Carson Long. In baseball, Conaty ended up the regular season with an 8-2 record, winning his last seven decisions. He is considered one of the top two pitchers on the East Carolina team, along with fresh- man Mickey Britt, who finished with a 9-0 mark.

His last victory was a hard-earned 2-1 victory over The Citadel in the first game of the doubleheader that gave the Pirates the league title. He was pitching against Richard Weiters, considered the toughest pitcher in the Southern Conference. Conaty is in strong contention for the Southern Conference Athlete-of-the-Year award that will be named in the coming weeks. Debbie Freeman, one of the most versatile athletes at East Carolina, took second place be- hind Conaty. Freeman, Co- Athlete-of-the-Year last year, was a three-sport star for the Lady Pirates this year. A 5-8 forward in basketball, Freeman led the state in scoring with over 22 points per game and in rebounding with over 13 per contest. She did all that even though the Lady Pirates suffered through a 6-16 campaign. She led ECU in scoring in 15 of the 22 games played and in rebounding in 17 games. Freeman was also on the Lady Pirates' track team, where she broke three school records. In the recent ECU Women's Open Track Meet, Freeman threw the discus 129 feet to break her old varsity mark by over ten feet. Her throw was just six feet off the national qualifying standard. She also heaved the shot 38-6 to set another school record. Her other record came in the javelin. During the fall season, Free- man was one of the top spikerson the Lady Pirates' volleyball team. Placing third in the balloting was Calvin Alston, star of the outdoor track team. Alston, a 5-7 sprinter on the team, qualified for the NCAA Championships in three events and is expected to qualify in one more before the champion- ships start next month. The native of Henderson, N.C. has qualified for the nation- als in the 200 and 400 meters events and the 400 meter relay. The Pirates' mile relay team is expected to qualify in the next week and Alston will be a part of that also. Alston has knocked the 200 record down to 20.8 this season while timing out in 46.6 in the 400 meter event. He leads off both relay events, and has been timed in 10.1 leading off the 400 meter relay when they clocked 40.2 earlier this year. All-America defensive end on the Pirates' football team, Cary Godette, finished fourth in the voting fa Athlete-of-the-Year. The senior from Havelock, N.C. achieved all-America honors in two publications this season after making honorable mention as a junior. Godette, even though slowed much of his career by a knee injury, garnered all-Southern Conference honors three times and was named male athlete-of- the-year by the Greenville Sports Club this spring. His play fa the last four years at defensive end has been in- valuable fa the Pirates. PETE CONATY Wrestling standout Phil Mueller took fifth in the balloting by virtue of his fine senia seasai that saw him go 28-2. Mueller, a native of Eden, N.C, did not lose a dual match during his junior and senior seasons at East Carolina after transferring from Wisconsin- Stevens Point. He won Nath Carolina Collegiate Champion- ships and Southern Conference Championships at 167 pounds during both years and was named the MVP of this year's meet. In that meet, he pinned all three of his opponents, winning in the finals in 38 seoonds. Ted Nieman of the ECU swim team took sixth place in the voting. The freshman star from Winter Park, Fla. broke four varsity reoads during his first season here, as well as five fresh marks. He was named FOUNTAINHEADs MVP for swimming. Nieman's records came in the 200. 500,1000, and 1650 freestyle events. He qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 200 and finished 35th. He also swam on the Pirates' two freestyle relavs, 400 and 800. The 800 team broke the old school mark by nine seoonds. Nieman qualified fa the AAU Champiaiships in the 200. 500 and 1650 frees. Another freshman, Mickey Britt of the baseball team, followed Nieman in the voting. Britt, a native of Hope Mills, N.C, broke reoads fa most wins in a season (9) and most consecutive wins (9). Britt finished with a perfect 9-0 mark and led the Southern Conference with a 1.50 earned run average. Characteristics of Britt's pitching are a lot of See ATHLETE, pg DEBBIE FREEMAN w hh ' fi m i Page 14 FOUNTAINHEAD 17 May 1977 Pirates meet South Carolina in regionals By STEVE WHEELER Staff Writer East Carolina's 27 ranked Pirates enter the Atlantic Region- als of the NCAA Baseball Championships this Fridav at the University ot South Carolina as the darkhorse of the field.

Although the Pirates have the lowest batting average in the regional, they have batted .310 for the month of April. East Carolina had several players oome on strong in the last month of the season. Sonny Wooten, who finished with .349 average to lead the team, hit .400 for the month of April and .450 for the last 13 games. He has hit in each of his last 13 contests. Charlie Stevens hit .375 for the month of April to raise his average to .280 for the year. Eddie Gates hit .343 for the month to push his average to .276. Bobby Supel, who had a near disastrous slump at mid- season, came on to hit .375 in his last seven games to raise his average from .208 to .233. He had two homers and two doubles in that streak. Mickey Britt and Pete Conaty lead the Pirate pitching staff. Britt has a perfect 9-0 record, while Conaty stands 8-2. Britt led the league with a 1.50 ERA, while Conaty was second in 1.63.

Uttle won bv a falrlv onmfnrt- rows MONTE UTTLE able margin over Bill Carson, ooach of the Southern Conference champion indoor and outdoor track teams. Football coach, Pat Dye, finished third in the ballot- ing while Ray Scharf of the men's swim team took fourth. Little inherited a baseball team that had lost 13 lettermen off a 22-7 team and molded them into a oohesive unit that won 15 of 16 Southern Conference encount- ers and 30 of 40 overall. The Pirates won the xnference title by one game over Western Carolina. "I thought we'd have a good team Little said looking back over the year, "but I never thought we'd do quite this well. We had some young players to develop a lot more quickly than expected Little said he never dreamed the Pirates would have to win 15 of 16 to win the league title. Western Carolina, the only loop foe to down the Pirates, kept the pressure on the young Pirates throughout the season and the Pirates had to sweep a double- header against The Citadel in the last regular season games to win the title outright. The Citadel was tied with Western Carolina, one game back of the Pirates, going into the doubieheader. The Pirates took the two games, 2-1 ATHLETES Continued from pg. 13 groundouts by the opponents because Britt keeps the ball around the hitter's knees. Paul Osman, another wrest- ler, finished eighth in the ballot- ing. Osman, a native of McLean, Va ran off a string of 24 matches without a loss before bowing out in the NCAA Championships. His only blemish during that period was a tie against national place winner Bob Sloand of Lehigh. Osman did not lose a dual match during the season and won two tournaments, the Wilkes Open and Southern Conference. The Wilkes Open is the most prestigious tournament in the nation except the nationals. Quarterback Mike Weaver, of the football team, finished ninth in the voting. Weaver led the team in total offense with 1124 yards and in passing with 633 yards. A 6-3 senior from Williams- ton, Weaver was honorable mention all-conference and was the Chevrolet Offense Player-of- the-Game for his performance against Appalachian State on ABC-TV. He had 193 yards total offense in the oontest that de- cided the Southern Conference title. CALVINALSTON Gale Kerbaugh, a two-sport star, rounds the FOUNTAIN- HEAD'S top ten. Kerbaugh was named all-state in basketball for the Lady Pirates, averaging 17.4 points per game, despite playing point guard. She was also named by FOUNTAINHEAD as MVP in volleyball. A 5-6 native of Raleigh, Kerbaugh was averaging around 13 points a game in basketball when all-stater Rosie Thompson was injured after the fourth game in the season. She then started taking more of the scoring load, averaging around 19 points per game during the remainder of the season. The seoond team includes: Herb Gray - men's basketball; Sonny Wooten - baseball; Herman Mclntyre - men's indoor and outdoor track; Larry Hunt - men's basketball; Gerald Hall - football; John Tudor - men's swimming; Betsy Adkins - gym- nastics; Jim Bolding - football; Gail Betton - field hockey, women's track; and John Mo- Cauley - men's swimming. Bolding was oo-Athlete-of- the-Year, along with Freeman, when he led the nation in pass intercept ions for the ECU football team. FOUNTAINHEAD would like to thank all the coaches and writers for taking part in this poll and would like to especially congratulate the Pirates' five Southern Conference Champions - football team, men's swimming team, men's indoor track team, baseball team and men's outdoor track team. These championship sports made it possible for East Carolina to win the Commission- er's Cup fa the 1976-77 school year, the award won by the team with the best overall athletic program in the Southern Con- and 3-2, to win the title. The Pirates will begin play in the Atlantic Regional of the NCAA Playoffs this weekend at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Carson added his seoond and third consecutive Southern Con- ference Championships with the indoor and outdoor double. The Pirates won the two titles by margins of one and three points. I think our guys did a fine job this season Carson said follow- ing the outdoor meet. "That's the mark of a good team to win the close ones Carson's squad had to come from way behind at the outdoor meet to overtake Furman by a 128-125 margin. They had de- feated William and Mary 67-66 indoors. Pat Dye brought the first football title to East Carolina since 1973 when his Pirates beat Appalachian State 35-7 on Thanksgiving Night before a regional television audience. Dye has improved on his record every year during his three years here. COACH-OF-THE-YEAR first place His 1974 team went 7-4, then 8-3 in '75 and 9-2 last season. Scharf took his 12th consecu- tive Southern Conference swim title last winter and was fourth in the balloting. The Pirates have won every swim title since they entered the league in 1966. Laurie Arrants, ooach ot the field hockey and women's track teams, was fifth in the voting for coach-of-the-year. Arrants' track team defeated every team in the state, and although there was no state championship, the Lady Pirates claimed the unofficial state title. John Wei born, coach of the second place wrestling team in the Southern Conference, finish- ed sixth in the balloting, while Cynthia Averett and Randy Randolph, coaches of the women's and men's tennis teams, respectively, tied for seventh. Stevie Chepko, ooach of the gymnastics team and women's swim team, and Mac McLendon, ooach of both the women's and men's golf teams, tied for ninth. votes in parenthesis 1.

East Carolina wins Commissioner's Cup East Carolina, bolstered by a strong finish in the spring sports, captured their third outright Southern Conference Commis- sioner's Cup in the eight years it has beengiven. ECU won the cup in 1973-74 and 1974-75. The Pirates tied with William & Mary fa the cup in 1969-70, while the Indians took the cup the other four years. The Commissioner's Cup is symbolic of the best overall athletic program in the Southern Conference. The Pirates were in third place in the cup race at the end of the winter sports, one behind Appa- lachian State and five behind the Indians. But, first place finishes in baseball and outdoor track and a tie fa second in golf allowed the Pirates to overtake the Williams- burg, Va. school. East Carolina finished with 58V2 pointsto5712 fa the Indians and 56 fa the Mountaineers. Furman took fourth with 52V2, while VMI finished fifth with 45, The Citadel with 3512 and Davidson last with 24. In all, the Pirates had five first place finishes: football, indoa track, swimming, outdoa track and baseball. William & Mary gained first in soccer and wrest- ling, while Appalachian State won rifle. An ironic point about the Commissiona's Cup is that the two schools that have won all the cups, ECU and William & Mary , are leaving the conference at the end of the current season.

He compiled the best record the school has ever had. "I'm very proud to have been named head wrestling coach here at East Carolina Hill said. "Coach Welborn has built a strong program in the ten years he has been here and we hope to keep building on it. "I can't say we'll be great right off, but we'll continue to build on what we have here already Hill said he would strive to schedule tough teams in the future. "We definitely need a tough schedule for the future said Hill. "We've wrestled State and Carolina - they're getting better every year but we've got to continue to get tough teams on the schedule in the future Hill said he was happy with the returning team for next year and indicated recruiting was at its best this year.
