Warren conferred recently with Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs Cliff Moore about the lighting situation. "He's very interested, and is more than willing to help us with this problem said Warren. Warren is in the process of organizing a committee to stake areas where lighting is needed the most. Some trees block the lighting, said Warren, and steps will be taken to eliminate the problem. Warren said electrical work is being done on some women's dorms now, but work on the lighting should begin in early fall. "The lighting will be very expensive, but it is necessary said Warren. Warren said the lighting will not be SGA-funded. "I think we will continue to get positive responses from the administration if our requests are reasonable and if we understand the problem of limited funds said Warren. "I'm very, very pleased with the response we received REED WARREN Selection committee convenes The IVY in the courtyard of Fleming dorm tells the tale of what began yesterday, rains. Pitt County was one of several in the state that was declared a disaster area last week by Gov. Jim Hunt. This precipitation is probably too late to assist local crops sufficiently, but it did help to cool things down. The photo was shot in mid-afternoon haze with a Micro-Nikkor lens. Photo by Pete Podeszwa By TIM JONES Staff Writer Members of various ECU departments and community or- ganizations addressed the Chan- cellor Selection Committee, last Saturday, suggesting that some- one who is capable of handling the interior and exterior needs of the university be chosen as Dr. Leo Jenkins' successor. Among those adaressing the committee was Dr. John C. Atkinson, Assistant Dean of the History Department, who com- plimented Jenkins' effectiveness in increasing enrollment. Atkinson stressed a need for a chancellor that will work with the faculty. "The faculty is the univer- sity he said, pointing out that the training of ECU students is the primary duty of the university and of the faculty. He should be willing to work with the Continuing Education programs that aid in the edu- cation of the community at large, Middleton said. The next chancellor should be one who will promote scholarship and achievement, said Dr. Rodney Schmidt, Director of the Music Faculty. "The arts provide meaning and enjoyment of life he commented. The committee and the de- partment representatives all agreed that the new chancel la should possess personal char- acteristics of faith in people, aggressiveness, tact, authority, and skill in intellectual leadership as opposed to power. Dr. Clinton Prewitt, the com- mittee's Executive Secretary, as- sured the representatives that the committee members would be attentive to their opinions in selecting the best possible candi- date to lead the university. Departmental publicity All academic departments who want department descriptions in the orientation issue of FOUNTAINHEAD should send their articles to FOUNTAINHEAD no later than Tuesday, August 2. This should include points of interest to all students concerning the different departments. For further information phone 757-6366 weekdays before 12 noon. When the lights went off in New York NEW YORK (LNS)-When the lights went off on New York's chic Upper East Side the night of July 13, many residents worried when the air-conditioning would go back on. Patrons at elegant Manhattan restaurants may have decided their dinners were ruined, but waiters in many continued to serve by candlelight. The next day, as all of New York City waited for the electricity to come back on, radio stations began to broadcast warnings to those with freezers full of food. In Harlem, the south Bronx, the Bushwiok and Bedford Stuyvesant sections of Brooklyn, however, the story ran differently. Most residents were outside on the sidewalks in the muggy 86-degree weather to escape from even hotter apartments. Within minutes of the blackout, residents began to hear the sound of shattering glass and the wail of police sirens. What followed for the next 24 hours depends on who you ask or what you read. The New York Post ran the headline: "24 Hours of Terror Newsweek sent out a dozen photographers to produce its first all-color ooverage of a breaking news story and wrote: "They're coming across Bushwiok Avenue like buffalo Mayor Abe Beame, in the midst of a re-election campaign, called the people arrested, "animals Residents in the poor, mostly black and Puerto Rican neighborhoods, describe it differently. Several people described the atmosphere as "festive and as "Christmas in the summer Another person explained that people without enough food were taking what they needed. A black storeowner in Brooklyn who was looted explained, "Everybody stepped into the television commercials for a few hours and took what they wanted He explained that he was more angry at Chemical Bank, which had refused him business loans and had contributed to the poor economic condition of the area. In some neighborhoods, selected stores and food chains were hit. In other areas, rows of stores were ripped open. The more brave ripped the gates of stores with crowbars. Others entered later to pick through the remains. Thousand others simply stood on the streets and watched the unprecedented spectacle. Police poured into the looted areas. Many of the police who arrived in Harlem had been off-duty, and came in civilian clothes carrying baseball bats. Sweep arrests were ordered by the Police Commissioner. Altogether, nearly 4,000 people were jailed-the largest number n a single day in the city's history. People breaking into stores weren't the only ones arrested. A resident in Harlem, for instance, described how a whole block was closed off by police and everyone arrested. One woman, a secretary for the Veteran's Administration, said she was arrested with a friend as she crossed upper Broadway on her way home that night. Five days after the arrests, at least 500 prisoners were still behind bars awaiting arraignment. At least one prisoner died in the Brooklyn House of Detention. (The corones report listed the cause of death as liver disease but the prisoner's family disputes this claim.) Released prisoners and lawyers described 100 degree temperatures and jammed conditions inside the jails. A section of the Men's House of Detention, or the "Tombs" prison, was reopened and prisoners were crowded together into single cells. The Tombs was closed by the order of a federal judge several years ago because of the inhumane conditions. waiBmmmM �������� Editorials Page 2 FOUNTAINHEAD 27 July 1977 Forum To FOUNTAINHEAD: The review of Star Wars which appears in the last two issues of FOUNTAINHEAD is, I feel, so unjustifiably negative that a second and more favorable opinion is needed. It is true that Star Wars magic and popularity does not derive either from its plot, characterization, or profound meaning. It is simply fun and as such provides two hours of escape from the harsh realities of every- day living. It is an escape everyone needs; the escape into a fairyland where Absolute Good meets Absolute Evil and actually wins! A movie which gives so much pleasure should not be tossed off lightly simply because it lacks intellectual depth. A steady diet of highly intellectual and pragmatic activities must be tempered with an exposure to the frivolous and more idealistic or one's balance will eventually be impaired. Star Wars falls into this second category and ranks high within it. Certainly there will be sequels and other movies capitalizing on this movie's popularity. But Star Wars should not be condemned because of this pop- ularity, or the others ill consider- ed because they will be followers. Each must be judged in the light of its own merits and in the spirit in which it was undertaken. Star Wars definitely merits four sta s.

Classifieds Friday sends HEW Reader challenges Star Wars review back to court William C. Friday, president of the greater Uni- versity of North Carolina, has sent HEW back to the drawing board. When the notorious federal agency handed down its new desegregation guidelines, it managed to sneak in a section which would give itself the authority of prior approval over major changes in the university system. But HEW was not quite cunning enough to slip this by the watchful eye of at least one man who is attempting to pry loose the federal grip on higher education. Friday immediately retorted that this section "is one we cannot accept" (N&O, July 21). A university cannot operate effectively or meet the needs of its students and constituents efficiently under HEW's austere approval or disapproval in its policy making, and Pres. Friday knew this. A sluggish mechanism anyway, this act would only further add to the melee of federal red tape already weighing down the university's attempts at affirmative actions in all spheres. The basic objective of these guidelines is certainly excellent: to get more black students into the UNC system. But, as Friday said, "Educational judgement ought to be exercised by the university .there can be noexception to that If this right is withdrawn from the university any further, higher education in North Carolina will become nothing more than a conglomerate of marionettes whose strings rest in federal hands. HEW does play a vital role in the long-range results of desegregation for the university. Afterall, someone had to get the integration ball rolling. But university policy making is not, or should not be, within its administrative and bureaucratic domain. A federal agency, no matter how good its intentions, cannot know the unique stumbling blocks of the individual university systems, stumbling blocks which can only be surmounted through careful knowledge and sensitive handling of the particular local needs, fears, even hostilities and degrees of racial prejudices and problems. So HEW is going back to court to strike this prior control section out of the guidelines, thanks to Pres. Friday. The federal government must not be allowed to tamper with the university's right to make its own educational policies and decisions, and it is going to take more strong men and women, like Friday, to see that this does not happen. for sale @ Founfainhead Serving the East Carolina community tot over fifty years.

Cro well Holl intc dev Hal the whk Tryc fard ma; crov dire mea tack: relig offer faith 7 Heai varic care betw almo the impc char inter; acter sepai four- 253 Dur yoi Crowned Heads dethroned By SUE ELLEN McLEOD Staff Writer Thomas Tryon's new novel, Crowned Heads, deals with a well-worn topic, the false aura of Hollywood. The novel is divided into four sections, each one devoted to a "star" of the Hollywood era. Tryon recounts ths livss of his "stars three of which end in death. In one novel, Tryon manages to symbolize the farcity of life, religion, sex, and moral ethics. The result is a very crowded book, lacking unity and direction, which fails tonake any meaningful statement. Tryon at- tacks the emphasis man places on religion, sex, and ethics (without offering another vehide for man's faith and self-expression). The characters of Crowned Hdads all came in contact at various points in their respective careers; however, the connections between them are very loose and almost circumstantial. None of the main characters play an important role in any other character's life. There is no interaction among Tryon's char- acters. His novel consists of four separate stories revolving around four-Hollywood personalities. The most impressive section is GRE � GMAT � SAT LSAT with confidence original study materials small groups � tap cantor mer & co the first, titled "Fedora This story seems the most intricate and well developed. With more detail and a different method of presentation, the "Fodora" story could possibly have stood alone as a oomplete work. The next three sections, however, fail to reach the level of "Fedora The ghastly ruin and subsequent deaths of two characters com- pletely debase the human animal of any vesture of honor, pride, reason, or faith in any oonoeived idea. Tryon seems to want his characters to represent what Hollywood, i.e. the world, and success has done to them. Through his work, however, Tryon succeeds in showing that what his characters become is simply a reflection of what they have always been. Fedora loses her beauty by her own vanity, and in the same manner, sells her birthright to the theatre. Lorna uses her body to pave the way for her inner-self. Unfortunately, that inner-self never emerges, and she dies ii the most grotesque and debasing sexual symbolism imaginable. Bobbitt's unbelievable comeback is just that, unbelievable. This fairy-tale story with a fairy-tale ending is completely unbelievable in con- trast to the deception and far Jty dominant throughout the novel. Willie is the most depressing and the most obvious fake of them all. The "grand old man" of Holly- wood is caught in the act, revealed in the midst of his fake chapel filled with fake artifacts, dying for a faith he doesn't believe in, defending the fake replica of an expensive posses- sion, revealing, finally, the farce his entire life has been. Crowned Heads is a depress- ing novel about people who are unable to successfully and hap- pily manage their lives. While Tryon's character development is very successful, the situations he creates for his characters are not always pleasant, believable, or original.

The Pirates whipped Camp- bell 9-5 last Wednesday night, then beat Atlantic Christian 15-11 in 10 innings Friday night in Tarboro. On Saturday, ECU traveled to Wilmington and walloped the Seahawks 14-2. The wins upped the Pirates' record to 15-11 on the season, one game behind Louisburg, who is 15-9. The Pirates face the Hurri- canes in two games Friday night that could decide second place in the league. ECU9, CAMPBELL5 Mickey Britt broke a personal four-game losing streak in this game to raise his mark to 6-5. He pitched seven innings and gave up but five hits. Lee Cherry picked up the save in relief, coming in at the start of the eighth inning and preserving Britt's win. Pete Paradossi led the Pirates at the bat with two hits in three trips, including his fourth homer in as many games. Eddie Gates also homered in getting two hits. Tommy Warrick had three singles also for the Pirates. Max Mann had a two run homer for the Carnals. Carolina made ten errors in the game, which could possibly be a summer league record. Billy Davis gave up ten runs in seven and two-thirds innings, but none were earned by the Bull- dogs' bats. Lee Cherry came on in relief and got the win, pitching the eighth and ninth innings before giving way to Billy Williamson in the tenth. William- son got the save. Bobby Supel was the big man at the bat for the Pirates, getting three hits in four trips to the runs. Robert Brinkley added three hits, while Styons and Warrick added two apiece. Robin Rose led the Bulldogs with two hits. ECUU,UNC-W2 East Carolina banged out 18 hits on five Seahawk pitchers in giving Williamson histhird win of the season, against one loss. Paradossi and Maoon Moye had four hits each to pace the Pirates, while Supel continued his hot RBI streak with five. Three of his RBIs came on a home run. Brinkley added three hits and Styons two. Williamson gave up but five hits in h rven innings. Marty Verner came on in the eighth to pitch the final two innings.
