Circulation 10,000 East Carolina University Greenville, North Carolina Vol. 55 No.JM" 21 November 1978 Brewer claims $21,000 By MARC BARNES Assistant News Editor The Media Board, meeting in a special session in Chancellor Thomas Brewer's office last Thurs- day, voted unanimously to appropriate approximately $20,000 to a special ac- count. According to Dr. John Hovvell, Vice Chancellor of anemic Affairs, the ac- count will be administered by Chancellor Brewer. Specifically, $7,000 will go to the art program, and it v ill be used to continue to film, the gallery and the in- terior design projects, ac- coring to Ho well. Howell added that most of the money would go to con- tinuation of symposiums, speakers and workshops here at ECU. Howell .Iso said that $12,000 would be appro- priated to the ECU Play- house with an additional int from Academic Af- fairs in the amount of $5,000. These two appro- priations, along with pro- jected receipts from admi- ssion prices would leave the theatre group with a total budget approximately $6,000 less than they aksed for from the Student Gov- ernment Association (SGA), according to How- ell. Preston Sisk, a profes- sor in the Drama Depart- ment and coordinator of the ECC Playhouse, said that the group had received ap- proximately $7,500 from the SGA, approximately $8,000 from gate recepts and projected gate receipts of $1500 for the rest of this academ ic vear. Sisk added that funds also came from the Drama Department. "Thanks to the genero- sity of the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor for Aca- demic Affairs. The Media Board, the SGA. and the enthusiastic support of Playhouse patrons, the EastCarolinaPlayhouse will be able to operate this vear Sisk said. He added. "w e are really excited, our next show (Marathon 33) will be Dec. 5-9 According to Howell, the School of Music didn't ask lor any more money from the Media Board, but they will receive about $1300 from the department of Academic Affairs. The $21,000 was ap- proximately half of a $42,000 appropriation, which was originally in- tended to publish the now defunct 77-78 BUCCAN- EER. The Media Board camelled publication of the annual several weeks ago, and subsequently voted to keep the money within the campus media, and not revert it back to the SGA. According to Dr. James H. Tucker, dean of student affair the minimum needs ol the three groups were presented in a meeting with Chancellor Brewer, and the minimum needs were said to be approximately $20,500. Tucker said that the Media Board then voted to give the Chancellor's office that amount to be given to the groups so that they could function for the rest of this year. Tucker added that the Chancellor said that this would not happen again. He noted that Brewer felt that mistakes had been made by the SGA in years past in appropriating mon- ey, and to the best of Tucker's understanding, Brewer commented that some future expenses would be covered in the university's budget, and by the use of student fees. Tucker added that the "basic needs" of campus activities would be funded by the university. He added that to his understanding Brewer said that this would help the university over a rough spot this one year � and in fut years, ar- rangement; dd be made in advan ake care of basic no Tuck � � I that SGA would ppropriate money to ampus activities. Chancellor Brewer was out of town, and was unavailable for comment. SGA discusses alumni contribution program Bv MIKE ROGERS Staff Writer At the meeting of the Student Government Asso- ciation (SGA) the main discussion was an alumni phone-a-thon geared to raise money for ECl academics. Phone-a-thon is a pro- gram in which student vol- ers call ECU alumni in r to promote contri- bution in the form of pled- The pledges will go trds the university lov- alt) lund which supports ECl academics. Approxi- mately 12.000 alumni will be called The caller who accumulates the most pled- ges in one night will win a trip to Hawaii or $700. The organization which gets the most pledges receives $300. The Phone-a-thon will be from Nov. 14 through Dec. 7. Libby Lefler read a letter whe had written to FOI NTAINHEAD. I don't want to spend this year defending what I do. Give me the benefit of the doubt. Just because you disagree with something � -n't mean it's a lie. If they're unhappy with the legislation, they have a right to disagree. If some- one wants to speak before the legislature, I don't feel that I have a right to dis- agree wrote Lefler. She also added that in many cases, it was hard to get an idea of what the person was going to sav. Kevin McCourt, former SGA attorney general, re- marked that in the past, the attorney general was sur- rounded by politics but now th attorney general should be above reproach and the students should no longer have to worry about that office prosecuting their cases. Legislator Steve Wal- ters remarked that the Honor Council had no right declaring the Newby-Payne case open to the public. He argued that the Honor Council was no court of law. However, a local judge said that it v as er) close to a court ol law. Drake Mann, chairman ol the Honor Council said that because of the magni- tude of the issue between Newbj and Payne, the case should be open. He also said that he felt neither partv was affected by the oublic's attendence. Legislator Wiley Betts commented that the local newspapers cover trials, thus the Newby-Payne trial could be covered. Tommy Joe Payne, SGA president, reported that the Media Board met with Dr. Brewer and of the $20,000 which was transferred from the board to the Chancellor, most of it would go to the ECU Playhouse and to the Art department. Charlie Sherrod, said that the legislature should congratulate the Pirate football team for their 8-3 record. The SGA also ex- tended their congratulation to the Pirates' bowl bid.

Grogan ECU may get cable TV B V ARC ADLER Staff Writer A representative from Greenville Cable Television ha spoken with several dormatory house councils about subscribing to cable television. According to Chuck Jarrett, general manager for Greenville cable tele- vision, cable television is not in the dormitories at present. "In the future we would like to work out an ar- rangement with ECU about subscribing to cable TV said Jarrett. The City of Greenville granted a Ceitificate of Compliance to Greenville Cable TV in August 1976 according to Jarrett. A Certificate of Com- pliance is granted when the local authority deems a franchise in accordance with the Federal Commu- nication's (FCC) standards, wrote Walter S. Baer in Cable Television: A Hand- booh for Decisionmaking. The standards deal with such matters as: "legal, financial, technical qualifi- cations Baer wrote. The Certificate of Com- pliance for Greenville Cable TV signifies the license will be valid for 15 years before renewal is needed, said the Assistant to the City Man- ager, Gail Meeks. There have been many complaints by the Green- ville residents about the cable TV, said Meeks. "Many residents have been complaining about the T workmen digging up their propertj . -aid Meeks. "I am aware of this matter Jarrett said, "But it all depends on whether a neighborhood has tele- phone poles or under- ground equipment. "If underground equip- ment i in a neighborhood we try to have the job done quickly and restore the property to a pre-construc- tion manner, said Jarrett. "Generally we try to inform the people that cable TV workmen are coming to an area by prior notice of door hangers said Jarrett. But many residents have requested this service sooner than it is possible said Meeks. "As of now, cable TV workmen are concentrat- ing on the more densely populated neighborhoods to service the most resi- dent quickly w ith cable TV, -aid Meek "Alter these sections of the city are completed then cable TV workmen will con- centrate on the less pop- ulated neighborhoods "I expect it will take another year and a half before cable TV is fullv set up in Greenville said Meeks. There are many varia- bles which determine hos rapidly the job can be com- pleted Jarret said. These variables are: weather factors, if the soil is frozen the workmen have difficulty digging up the ground unless there are telephone poles; and how fast the materials will be shipped, said Jarrett. "In the future we pro- posed service to other places in Pitt County such as Cherrv Oates and Brook Valley. Cable TV is a devel- oping trend in manv areas of the country. There are many reasons for this, one of which is the programs offered. Greenville Cable TV of- fers this area 10 stations located from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, Jarrett stated. These 10 channels are four network stations, two Information Stations, one Christian Broadcasting sta- tion, and two independent stations, said Jarrett. The cost for these 10 channels is $7.50 plus a $15 installation charge stated Jarrett. For an additional charge cable TV offer- "Showtime" said Jarrett. "Showtime" offers 14 current movies per month. For example, three of the movie- which will be shown during Nov. 22 through Dec. 3 are: The Boys in Company C, Julia. and Three Women -aid Jar- rett.

Tobacco show staged in Greenville ByRICKIGLIARMIS News Editor �Tobacco, a multi-billion dollar industry, was the main topic of observation Pirates bowl bound The ECU Pirates have been extended a bid to play in the third annual Inde- pendence Bowl on Saturday Dec. 16, in Shreveport, La. The Pirates will be meeting Louisiana Tech in the game which will be played at State Fair Stadium in Shreveport. See the com- plete story on page 7. hoto by John H. Grogan last week in Pitt County during the Southern Flue- Cured Tobacco Festival. The big event during the week was the Third Annual Tobacco Farmer Show. The show was held in the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse in Greenville. According to Don Hol- ley, sales manager of Spe- cialized Agricultural Publi- cations, Farmers Ware- house is the largest tobacco warehouse in the world covering five and a half acres. During the show, which was held Nov. 14, 15, and 16, hundreds of company representatives from sev- eral states were present displaying their farm pro- ducts and equipment. The approximately285 displays � included tractors, toppers, seeds, suckercides, and herbicides. Aside from business, there was free entertain- ment for the public during the show. Jerry Clower, named Country Comic of the Year four consecutive times, ap- peared on stage Tuesday. On Wednesday, a country blue grass band perform- ed. On Thursday, Don Wil- liams, 1978 Male Country Vocalist of the Year, was scheduled to perform but failed to appear at the show. Other entertainment in- cluded a tobacco spitting contest and a tobacco tving contest. According to Jim Swin- dell, sales representative for Specialized Agricultural Publications and organizer of the show, several digni- taries visited Greenville during the festival. Swindell said that a- mong the dignitaries pre- sent werecommissioners of Agriculture from North Carolina, Virginia, South CArolina, Georgia, and Florida. Lieutenant Gov- ernor Jimmy Green and Assistant Secretary for MArketing, USDA, P.R. Smith were also present to view the displays and speak with guests. Swindell explained that the Tobacco Farm Show in Greenville was one of the largest in the nation and is recognised internationally. Other activities during the festival included a golf tournament which was held at the Farmville Country Club and a best tobacco leaf contest which included a live state area. According to Suan No- bles. Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce, the Powell Manufacturing Company sponsored a Southern Flue-Cured To- baccor Fe-tival drawing and poster contest which included kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The drawings consisted ol an agricultural theme. Money for the winning school's art departments, engraved plaques, and sa- vings bonds for the stu- dents were among the pri- zes awarded to the winners. An essay contest which was sponsored by the festi- val was also held. All students in grades 10-12 were eligible to participate. The topic for the essay was "What Tobacco Has Meant to Pitt County's Economy The prizes which were awarded at the show were the same as those awarded for the poster contest. The festival ended Fri- day night with a dance which was sponsored by the Greenville Jaycees. t rrry � �aftfr 4- 21 Nwmbf 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD P�o� 3 Science Ed holds symposium VNIDENTJFIED COUPLES TiKnc e �0 'Aree ueeb aUa. Photo by Chap Guriey By STEVE WILSON Staff Writer The ECU Dept. of Science Education held its first International Sym- posium on Science Education last week, according to Dr. Floyd Mattheis, chairman of the Science Education Department. The Department was host to ten visitors from Japan who were Science Education instructors on different levels there. The trip was funded by the Sony Corporation which offered the opportunity on a na- tionally competitive basis. While here in Greenville, the educators visited diff- erent schools and attended seminars Thursday. The Visitors also made trips to focal industries and the Burroughs-Wellcome Mar- ine Science Center. " Mattheis said that the Japanese "pattern their ed- ucational systems after ours. There is a compulsory at- tendance of nine years which is divided in six year three year and three year- school systems. Then there are tests for those students who wish to enter high school He added that ninety percent of the students finished high school, and that 35-40 per- cent went on to universities.

Ben Ball, an Alpha Sig membr at Wake Forest University, decided to tr and -tart an Alpha Sigma Phi ernitj when he trans- � rred here the spring ester of I977, explained h� Sig House Senior President Bob Miller. Ball passed out flyers in Jones and Aycock dorms announcing the beginning of the fratemit) and he pro- led to throvs a party in the basement of Aycock to intr people to the fraternity. Only three people showed up. At the end of the school year the fraternity had on! seven members. It didn't even participate in the Inter-Fraternity Council, an organization that handles information concerning each fraternity on campus, accor- ding to Miller. The fraternity started off this school year with a rush party and received three more pledge members to bring it's current number of members up to ten. The fraternity now has a scholarship fund. It also holds regular business meet- ings on Mondays and social meetings on Wednesdays. The fraternity is also trying to form an alumni corporation, Miller stated. Alpha Sigma Phi is the tenth oldest fraternity in the nation. It is m colon) status in fiveSouth-Easternlocations in the United States; FCl being one of them. A fraternity must g0 through colon) status before it can become a chapter of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternit S) s?em. Jeff Hoffman, national expansion chairman of Alpha Sigma Phi. goes to different colonies and new fraternities every two months and helps to guide them while the are growing. He suggests new ideas and discourages other ones that the fraternities (or colonies) may or may not use. Dr. Gibbons of the philosophy department of ECL , is faculty advisor for the Alpha Sigs. He acts as a representative for the fra- ternity in matters that deal uith the school administra fion. His duties include reserving a room for the fraternity to meet in, in the Brewster Building, and looking for a possible house that the fraternity could buy to live in. Miller said. " e need a house Miller said. "It's important for rushes, and gives us a central location to go to The fraternity would "prefer a two-story house to separate the bedrooms and living area Miller said. The fraternity is an academically inclined one, according to Bill Deloach house editorial secretary. There is a study session held at least once a week, he said. To Better the Man' is the slogan written on ti e front of the fraternity pledge man- ual, Miller added. The idea is to help one another improve, he said. There is also an emphasis on "service for the com- munity and campus miller stated. "You get as much out of a fraternity as you put into it. We have ideas and plans, we just need people to carry them out Being that the fraternity is just starting, Miller added that the fraternity "needs a good foundation to build upon There is a $30 cover fee for pledging into the fra- ternity, Deloach said. This money pays for such things as a pledge pin and a pledge manual. The manual gives infor- mation about the fraternity itself. Miller stated. Dues are $12 a month, according to Miller. There is a $90 fee that covers "initiation to the brotherhood Deloach said. "This fee pays for the brotherhood pin. It also helps maintain operation of the fraternity system The fee also pays for lifetime coverage of sub- scriptions to any fraternity publications, he added. These publications are 'he "Old Gal Gazette a quarterly magazine, and the Tomahawk which is the fraternity newspaper. Deloach writes to the editors of these publications and keeps them informed of the progress of the Alpha Sig fraternity here at ECU. He is also responsible for putting flashes in FOUNTAINHEAD concerning the fraternity. "We are excited about the reception we have received on this campus Miller said. "There is a fantastic Greek system here he concluded. Tuesday night (Nov. 21), the Alpha Sigma Phi fra- ternity will hold a rush party in the basement of Aycock at 8:30 p.m. There will be coke � and alcoholic beverages served. more than it is here. "There is more of a laboratory approach to science educ- ation in Japan, and the work load is heavier. School is held until mid-July, when the students and faculty have a short break, and return to school in late August He also said the class rooms were larger and that there are very few discipline problems, because the stu- dent bodies are more of a homogeneous mixture than they are in the U.S. He said that education is much more formal in Japan. The students wear uniforms, and are highly motivated. Thev usually begin the study of English in elementary school. He said that teachers in Japan are generally more highly regarded than they are in the U.S. The visitors stayed with host families while in Greenville last week. Mattheis said that the visi- tors were impressed by the friendliness, openness, and sincerity of the American people. He also said that the visitors remarked about the difference in family struc tures, and about the manv differences in habits and customs between the two nations.

It was a Bloody Mary, symbolic, Green remarked that "we" (one assumes he perhaps, of the politically bloody battle to means the government) don't leqislate moral legalize liquor by the drink in this state. in this state urdis Finally, the last vestiges of Prohibition are slowly disappearing from North Carolina. We hope it will be the beginning of a reawakening of what was once known as the "Rip Van Winkle" state. The battle has been won, at least for some areas of the state. Unfortunately, many will cling to their antiquated customs and remain either dry or brown-bag. The brown-bag counties will continue to force consumers to buy a pint when they only want one and a half ounces. They will, presumably, continue to believe that they control the amount of liquor being consumed by forcing people to buy 10 times the amount they really wanted. Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green made a comment at last week's tobacco show here in relation to the Legislated morals In that, he is sadly mistaken, for what are North Carolina's archaic brown-bagging laws if not a governmental attempt at temperence? In additional to alcohol, the state enforces the moral judgements of its legislature in other areas. Consequently, marijuana, gambling, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and other "vices" are illegal. The state apparently does not consider its adult citizens capable of leading their own lives. Probably few people are alive today who can remember buying a mixed drink legally in North Carolina. A person who was 21 when the last legal cocktail was sold would be 95 today. What more can be said, except happy days are here again? American Forum SGA speaker presents her side I FOl NTAINHEAD: rhere are two sides to si ry, and it i very distressing to me to discover that a paper which operates student tees did not lur: k into the facts the editorial in the iition. Lei me brief!) describe a few tail of the Nov . 6 SGA eting at w hich Mr. New bj are all details which I would gladlv have I a FOUNTAINHEAD �rter if any would have bothered to ak. This is also partly what I said at the hearing of Mr. Nevby when Mr. Payne asked if I knew prior !� M r Newby's speech what he intended to sav. A reporter was present at that meeting. Mr New by cai ' me and asked if he could be permitted to spe ik in Questions and Privileges that day. As a matter of -tandard practice, I asked about what, and Mr. Newby -aid that he wanted to speak about the Attorney General resolution passed the pre- vious week. I -aid that would be fine, and that was the extent 1 talked to Mr. Newby that day. 1 did not have full knowledge of what Mr. Newby would say, other than that pre iously stated, since 1 had never seen a copy of the speech. 1 don't know who the informed sources were who were used for the editorial, but obviously they have never spoken in Questions and Privileges. For while 1 do ask the speaker the general topic he wishes to speak about. I do not ask for a text of the speech. I feel this would be a violation of the duties of mv office in two way. First, it could lead to censorship which should not be prac- ticed anywhere in the U.S. Second, it would eliminate the possibility of impromptu -leeches. Many speakers who speak before SGA get up with only general notes, and it would be an impossi- bility to obtain a text of their speech. In addition, as long as a student wi-he- to speak about a matter which concerns hirn. then 1 don't feel the right to forbid him the opportunity of freedom of speech. Since the legislature is elected by and represents the students then they also have the right, if not the obligation, to listen to what any student sav Any member of the legislature has the rjght to object to any non-legislator speaking at anytime. Since no one objected, it was assumed that they wanted to hear what Mr. Newby had to say. In my opinion, Mr. Newby was just a student who was unhappy with the legislature approving Mr. Shanahan and wanted to express his feelings to the body who made the ap- proval. I do not want the rest of this year to be media against SGA because we are all students and though in different organizations should all be working for the same objective the interests of the Students. 1 do hope that in the future FOUNTAINHEAD would do a little more investigative reporting before printing articles or editorials. For instance, in the Nov. 14 FOUNTAINHEAD, there was a picture of Mr. Payne presiding at the SGA meeting when he had not even been present at the meeting. Although I feel an injustice has been done to me, I accept it as part of my job. For criticism exists everywhere, but open-mind- edness is a quality we could all benefit from. I openly apologize to the student body for having to be subjected to such pettiness and ask them not to judge many hard- working students on the immaturity of a few. Libby Lefler SGA Speaker BUCCANEER To FOUNTAINHEAD: This letter i- addressed to the writers of three letter- which appeared in Thursday's FOUNTAIN- HEAD. First of all, my initial reaction to the one entitled "Where is the Buc" was one pf utter disgust and contempt for those who signed their names to it. I realize that two school years have gone? bvsince the last BUCCANEER was prin- ted. I will not attempt to rehash the reasons why this happened. Anyone who would refer. to the present BUCCANEER as a "Flying Dutchman" has obvtously spent the last two months with his head in the sand. The yearbook is aiive and well. If it was not, yearbook portraits would not be being made at this time, money would not have been appropriated to produce the book, and a very competent staff would not be working on it. Anyone who can read knows why there was no BUC last year. The reasons have appeared in numerous FOUNTAINHEAD stories and can be obtained by reading them. I consider the accusation thatthe present 3UCCANEER staff is incompetent to be a personal slap in the face to me and my staff, and 1 would like to invite anyone who believes this charge to be true to present the Media Board a petition to remove me from my position. But if you really give a damn, whv don't you come to a staff meeting, show some in- terest, and do something about it other than sit on your rear and complain. With regards to the letter entitled "Compromise urged in media issue I can only ask that Mr. Green learn some of the facts of the issue in order to avoid further embarrassment to himself. I would also like to assure Mr. Green that neither my- self or any of my colleagues in the other media have ever grovelled at the feet of anyone, not the SGA and not the Media Board J have merely requested of the Media Board those im- provements in my office which will enable my staff to see what they are doing, and to keep our office reasonably secure from break-ins. I have no intention of grovelling before anyone to get these necessary improvements. In reply to the letter entitled "BUC demise is no surprise I must inform Ms. Dorfield that I am concerned very much with the problems of the Playhouse. As an ECU student, I have attended and enjoyed many productions of the Playhouse. I find them very entertaining and pro- fessional and would consider it a tragedy if these pro- ductions were forced to stop. I feel, however, that it is the- responsibility of the Media Board to take care of some of the problems of campus media first, and then to worry aobut the urgent needs of deserving or- ganizations like the Play- house. have no objections to the Board's giving some money to the Playhouse after necessary improvements are made to the various media offices. I do not consider carpeting a necessary im- provement, and I have not requested any for my office. I would also like to state, Ms. Dorfield, that the media on this campus are here for the students just as much as the Playhouse is. I do think it would be a "horror" if FOUNTAINHEAD or any other campus media were to shut down. Everything that can be done needs to be done to assure that neither the publications nor the PJay- house are forced to shut down. Why don't you give the Media Board a chance before you unfairly condemn it for all the financial problems of every organization on this campus? You just may be surprised at what the Board can and will do. 1 hate to see such di- vididness existing between the Board and the SGA and between the various media and the student body. I would like to remind every- one that we are all students, only some oT us care enough to get involved. Craig Sahli BUCCANEER Editor Assembly- By DAVID ARMSTRONG Years ago, Benjamin Franklin so admired the American turkey, he nominated it as America's national bird. Ben's bid lost out to the Bald Eagle, the splendid creature that we've since nearly succeeded in extermina- ting. The turkey, by contrast, has grown enormously in number. Were Franklin alive today, however, it is unlikely he would recognize the turkey. Franklin's ideal was the wild turkey, a bird that still provides sport for hunters and lends its name to a deservedly famous bourbon. The modern holiday turkey, however, is a breed apart. Hatched from genetically engineered eggs, raised on a diet of chemicals, butchered by machine, preserved with still more chemicals and marketed bv giant agribusiness corporations, the com- mercial turkey is an assem- bly line product of the technological age. Like many technological won- ders, it may also endanger human health in ways that are not yet fully under- stood. Until the mid-l$60's, most turkeys were raised by small independent farm- ers. Today, the independ- ent poultry grower is going the way of the nickle candy bar. The big names in turkey growing include red- -meat packers and process- ors like Swift, dairy giants like Land 0' Lakes and well-known purveyors of foodstuffs like Greyhound, which owns Armour Meats, another big turkey produc- er. Turkey has come into its own in recent years as a comparatively cheap, good-tasting alternative to beef and pork. Low in chloresterol and saturated fats and high in protein, it is becoming a year-round favorite. Americans will eat 10 pounds of turkey per person this year, about a pound more than in 1977. That's some 200 million birds. Turkey tycoons credit their success to scientific breeding. The laboratory wizards who brought you the square tomato have not neglected the turkey. Says Ken Klippen of the National Turkey Federation, an industry group, "Turkey growing is now an exact science. We've bred the birds to be docile and easy to harvest America's well-advertised passion for convenience foods is another factor.

Turkeys are usually raised in Hocks of several thousand m large barns with concrete floors. They are eparated bv sex and kept in climate-controlled environment- under artificial light. Klippen claims the turkeys like it that wav "They experience less stress than if they were outside having to fight and forage for their food The bird- are fed a diet laced with antibiotics to ward off dis- ease and, oftentimes, hor mones to induce growth.

So why did satire work for M.A.S.H. and not for Wedding? Because it is very easy to sit and watch an unpopular institution such as war reduced to a sad farce, but who, after all, really wants to see the still relatively stabilizing institution of the American family given the same belittling treatment? War is definitely evil, and when we see it and its offices cast in a climate of incompetent buffoonery it is easy to sit back and laugh and feel good about Altman's incisive clown-antics But the familv is still a very positive force, and one which acts as an anchor in an unstable age in which anchors are difficult (if not totallv impossible) to find out. The emotional breadboard of American family-life may indeed be on its way out � but only the emotional adolescent or the sophomortc malcontent want to see it go. Yet, to be fair to a (usually) inspired and prolific director (he has directed and produced no less than twelve films in the last eight years) Altman claims no intentional attack on either the family or the institution of marriage. "I don't have anv message Altman claims. "I don't take a cheap shot at an institution. Nobody has yet invented a workable replacement tor marriage, and I don't think you can take rites and ceremonies away from people until you can replace them with something else. You get used to certain things and if they are taken away from you, you miss them. Just see how vou feel when vou can't get a good hamburger in Europe But when questioned about the various interpretations of social comment which many critics see as blatant in the film. Altman responds: "That doesn't mean they (those interpretations) may not be valid In what appears to be a complete turnaround from his original statement, Altman further state- that "the movie is an investigation, mainly, an essav on the nupial ritual" and refer- to it as a "docu-drama Immediately, he turns again: "It's pure enter- tainment Laughing, "VI ell, I don't know how pure Producerdirector Robert Altman on the set of his new film "A Wedding hrom the viewpoint of being a comedy.

In addition to Nicholson's outrageously funny per- formance, there are sparkling supporting bits by Christopher Llovd, John Belush. (from Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon's Animal House), and acting new comer Mary Steenburgen. As the movie opens we get a clear scene of scruffy cantankerous bank robber and hor.eth.ef Henry X. Moon (Jack N,choison) leading a horse across a barren s tretcof desert.

But the sheriff hasn't the sense of legalistic fair-play that Moon credits him and as Moon stands on the Mexican shore off the Rio Grande and jeers at the sheriff and his deputies, they proceed to cross the river. Aghast, Moon turns to remount his steed and run for it, but while he stood boasting of his 'escape' his horse had fainted from exhaustion. He is summarily bound and carried back into America and to the little town of Longhorn where he is sentenced to hang for bank-robbery. During his breif incarceration, Moon is visited and eyed bv several spinsterly matriarchs which he dismisses crossly calling them vultures. A moment later he is informed that because of a lack of men returning from the Civil War, a local ordinance was passed to allow any property-holding, unmarried woman to claim a man from the gallows as her husband. Immediately apologetic, Moon desparately attempts to win the favor of the elderly crones he has just cursed. " 'Vultures eh?" admonishes one woman to Moon as he is dragged to the gallows.

Altman apparently decided to explore the alternative- - she finishes dressing tor her honeymoon departure, the bride (portrayed outstandingly by Amy Stryker, a relative new-comer to feature acting) receives a rather more than congratulatory kis- from the wedding coordinator (Gerald- ine Chaplin). Actually, it is much more than congratulatory.

If. on the other hand, vou prefer to look at if eddmg from the standpoint ot being a "docu-drama then the permeating themes of promiscuity and mfidelitv and the treatment of the characters are too liberally exaggerated to lend the certain minimum of creedence to the storv that is necessary to keep the viewer receptive to the theme the director is trving to put across 'Neither eccentric nor outlandish' This is not something that Altman did not see in the film's construction, but he does not consider it a flaw oi the film. a wedding provides a means ot gathering people who would be unlikely together, all at the same time under the same root. So we can force them into certain relationships dfed see w hat results But these people are not only unacceptable as a group. they are quite independently bizarre each in their own right.

That kind of setting demands eccentric behavior. We would not be able to see the out land ishness of the situation w ithout it. But whiie the rites of marriage have probably been around as long as those of war, they are neither eccentric nor outlandish, and the public is not ready to treat them as such. Still, on the level of a comedy there is much to redeem ifedding. At the very opening of the film we see the actual nubial ceremonies (mostly the story takes place at the reception) w hich are presided over by a decrepit, senile bishop (played by John Cromwell) who just barely manages to perform the rites under the guidance of an alterboy who prompts the bishop at every other syllable and silently mouthes the entire service his lips moving silently and surely while the elderly patriarch stammers his way though the very same service, mistoning his summoning of the Almighty: God the FatherSonGoduhCodthe Holy Ghost One more intonation as the bride and groom file back down the aisle, this time one of relief: "Jesus Christl" In addition there is a low-key rush for the bathrooms on the part of the entire wedding party once they reach the reception. No one is excluded from this including the bishop who finds himself led to a room of mirrors to be left to wander in helpless search for the door to the bathroom.

Members of the de- fensive team held up their index fingers, signaling "number 1" as they began to disassemble. "Hey TS said McNeill to linebacker Tommy Sum- mer, "number one, right?" "That's right replied Summer, "number one v hat these two en- forcers of the mighty Pirate defense were speaking of was the possible status of the defense in the final NCAA statistics. Entering the game, the Pirates were ranked third nationally in total defense and second in pass defense. The defense held Mar- shall to only 119 yards. The Thundering Herd passing game was allowed a mere 37 yards. This statistic brought the season average for the Pirate pass defense to a mere 76.1 yards per game, a stat that finished just behind Boston College. Yet, the Pirates had wanted on so badly to have the nation's number one ranked pass defense. "That was our goal before the game said Summer. But, with a trip to the Inde- pendence Bowl lurking a- bead, and finishing as highly as they did, the Pir- ates have little to be ashamed of. Following the game Saturday, ECU coach Pat Dye claimed that his de- fense was a together group. "Our defensive football team deserves a lot of credit. We haven't got a genuine double-barrelled stud out there, no super- star, I mean. But we go out there as a unit and play as a unit. I'd say our defense had fun out there all season ECU earns shutout with easy 45-0 victory ,By SAM ROGERS Sports Editor With a 1-9 record and a coaching -taft headed for thi nearest unemployment line, Mar-hall- Thundering Herd had very little at stake against ECl" Saturday night "And when you gamble like they did on defense, explained Leander Green after the game.

IPhofLTt 7rg tkertl0n l�d " Punt returns. rnoto by John H. Grogan The championship of the Fearless Forecast is at stake this week as the contest heads into its last week of the season. There are two championships to be decided, most wins and best winning percentage. This situation exists be- cause David Maready, the current percentage leader, began picking several weeks after the other FOUNTAINHEAD progno- sticators. Maready's percentage is presently .747. Assistant Sports Editor Cbarles Chandler, the leader in most games picked cor- rectly, is just behind with a 736 percentage. Chandler can take the percentage title only by outguessing Maready by at least two games this week. Chandler, who has picked 103 games correctly, holds a comfortable four game lead over Terrv Herndon, who has 99 cor- rect gamesto his credit. Sports Editor Sam Rogers would have to pull off a near-impossible coup to win the title. His is nine games behind Chandler, having picked 94 games correctly. But the games this week will provide Rogers with at least a chance. Several of the games appear too close to call. Due to rivalries, the Duke-UNC, Washington- Washington St South Carolina-Clemson, Florida- Florida St Miss. StMis- sissippi, Michigan-Ohio State, Arizona StArizona, Pittsburgh-Penn State, No- tre Dame-Southern Cal, and Kentucky-Tennessee contests could go either w a y. Although, the Fearless Forecast concludes its sea- son this week, the FOUN- TAINHEAD prognostica- tors will do a special forecast before the middle of De- cember.

"The way things are going, who know- what will happen. A lot of things happened today that I didn't believe would hap- pen Coach Joe Paterno -aid Saturday after his No. 1 -rated Penn State team canceled its reservation to Miami and accepted a bid to the Sugar Bowl. 1 wo weeks ago, Paterno and Penn State were No. 2 and hoping for a crack at Oklahoma, then the na- tion's No. 1 team, in the Orange Bowl. Nebraska took care of that pipe dream and last week, Paterno, the new No. 1, said he hoped to meet runnerup Nebraska in Miami, But when invitation time rolled around Sat- urday Nebraska had been beaten by Missouri's upset kings 35-31 and Penn State was pointed toward New Orleans � for sure � to meet third-ranked Ala- bama, maybe. "I don't know about the bowls; it's an unusual sit- uation said Georgia Coach Vince Dooley, who helped make it such by going for a one-point con- version with 5:18 left to play and thereby settled for a 22-22 tie with Auburn when a victory would have put the eighth-ranked Bull- dogs in the Sugar Bowl as the Southeastern Confer- ence's representative. Although several spots are still up in the air, there is only one real opening in thel5 major bowls �Loui- siana Tech's opponent in the Independence Bowl. This is the lineup: Sugar Bowl: Penn State vs. Ala- bama, if the Crimson Tide beats Auburn on Dec. 2, or Georgia if they don't. Or- ange Bowl: Nebraska vs. Oklahoma. Rose Bowl: Southern California vs. next week's MichiganOhio State winner. Cotton Bowl: Houston, if the Cougars beat either Texas Tech or Rice, vs. Notre Dame. Gator Bowl: Clemson vs. the Michigan-Ohio State loser. Fiesta Bowl: Arkansas vs. UCLA. Lib- rerty Bowl: Stanford vs. Georgia or Alabama, al- though Bear Bryant says he wants to stay home if Bama doesn't beat Auburn. Peach Bowl: Purdue vs. Georgia Tech. Tangerine Bowl: Pitt vs. North Caro- lina State. Hall of Fame Bowl: Iowa State vs. Texas A&M. Holiday Bowl: Brig- ham Young vs. Navy. Gar- den State Bowl: Rutgers vs. Arizona State. Indepen- dence Bowl: Louisiana Tech vs. East Carolina University. Penn State, Alabama and sixth-ranked Houston had the weekend off. But fourth-ranked Oklahoma destroyed Oklahoma State 62-7 as Billy Sims rushed for 209 yards, scored four times and set a Big Eight single-season mark of 1,762 yards. The Sooners accu- mulated 692 yards in total offense, 629 of them on the ground. James Wilder keyed Missouri's upset of Neb- raska with a school-record four touchdowns on runs of 9, 1, 4 and 7 yards, the last with 3:42 remaining. That offset a 255-yard perform- ance by Rick Berns, who set Nebraska game and carrer rushing records, scored twice and said he would "gladly trade everything I got today for one more touchdown Fifth-ranked California nailed down the Pacific 10 crown and a trip to the Rose Bowl by de- feating No. 15 UCLA 17-10. Paul McDonald threw touchdown passes of 36 yards to Calvin Sweeney and 10 to Kevin Williams while Charles White rushed for 145 yards and de- throned Anthony Davis as the league's career rushing king with 3,739 yards. Rick Leach passed 11 yards to Ralph Clayton and 10 to Doug Marsh for touchdowns as seventh- ranked Michigan elimin- ated No. 15 Purdue from the Rose Bowl picture 24-6. Georgia withstood an Auburn record 250-yard rushing effort by Joe Cribbs, including touch- down runs of 60 and 2 yards, but could do no better than tie when Dooley ordered a safety-first con- version kick following Wil- lie McClendon's second 1-yard touchdown plunge. "I felt it was the right decision Dooley said, "because we had time to hold them and kick a field goal. Looking back, it would have been better to go for two. It was the wrong decision and I apologize to the team for it No. 9-ranked Texas crushed TCU 41-0 as John- nie Johnson returned an interception 47 yards and Russell Erxleben booted field goals of 41,34 and 48 yards. Vagas Ferguson broke his own school record of 219 yards set two weeks earlier by galloping for 255 in lOth-ranked Notre Dame's 38-21 trouncing of No. 20 Georgia Tech. Clemson, No. 12, over- took No. 11 Maryland 28-24 on Lester Brown's 5-yard run in the final period and Ron Calcagni scored three times to lead No. 13 Ar- kansas over Texas A&M 26-7. Michigan State, No. 16, piled up 601 yards in -mashing Northwestern 52-3. The Spartans are on probation and ineligible for a bowl but can tie the Michigan-Ohio State win- ner for Big Ten honors by beating Iowa next week. James Jones rushed for 162 yards and Dave Marler passed for two scores as Mississippi Sate upset No. 17 LSU 16-14.
