Supreme Court reviews ruling
WASHINGTON AP - The Supreme Court, in a ease
that could affect educational opportunities for handicapped
persons nationwide, agreed today to decide whether a
North Carolina college illegally refused to admit a partiallv
deaf woman.
The justices said the will review a lower court's ruling
that Southeastern Community College in Whitevill.
violated federal law when it turned down Frances Davis
tor its nursing program.
The court's action leaves the wav open for a crucial,
edent-setting interpretation
of the scope of the Rehabilitation Act of
I al law prohibits programs or activities receiving
f)i aid to discriminate against any "otherwise qualified
licapped indiv idual
One measure of the case's potential importance is that
26 states, arguing as friends of the court, backed the
- appeal. The states said the ruling could turn the
law into a tool of oppression
M Davis' n"u ib a" a licensed practical nurse for
12 years, sought in 1974 to join Southeastern
nursing program leading to licensing as a
I nurse
I here was never any question that Ms. Davis, who had
been an undergraduate student at Southeastern during the
I .3-19,4 school year, was academically qualified for
admission to the nursing program.
But because of a serious hearing impairment, she can
communicate with others only when she wears a hearing
aid and looks directly at the talker to read lips.
Southeastern officials submitted an audiologist's report
to the executive director of the North Carolina Board of
Nursing. The board official said Ms. Davis should be
advised "to alter her career goal
The school was told that her handicap would make her
incapable of performing various duties assigned to a
registered nurse such as aiding in operations when
surgical masks are worn.
After her application was rejected because of her
hearing impairment, Ms. Davis sued the college on the
ground it had violated the 1973 law.
I S. District Judge Robert Hemphill dismissed the
charges but the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last
March ruled that Southeastern had violated the 1
aw.
The appeals court sent the case back to Hemphill with
instructions to give "close attention" to Ms. Davis'
request for some form of "affirmative relief by modifying
the nursing program to accommodate her hearing
disability.
In seeking Supreme Court review, lawyers for the
college argue that although the 1973 law serves a
legitimate interest, "the nature of some physical handicaps
may make it unwise and unsafe to permit a handicapped
person equal access to certain programs, activities or
professions
They likened Ms. Dav.V case to that of a one-armed
student studying to become a surgeon or a blind person
seeking to become a bus driver. P
Lawyers for the National Association of the Deaf
representing Ms. Dav.s, accused the school of distorting
the impact of the appeals court ruling.
They quoted one hospital official as saving that "there
are a number of settings in which Ms. Dav'is 'could perform
sat.sfactonly as a registered nurse, such as industrv oH
physician's office industry or a

A proposed Mountain-to-
Sea Trail Corridor, a series
of trails stretching from
the Great Smoky Moun-
tains National Park to
Jockey's Ridge on the
Outer Banks, may be
closer to reality after
meetings at East Carolina
University on Jan. 13 and
14. A North Carolina Trails
Committee meeting chaired
by Dr. Raymond L. Busbee
will be held Jan. 13 to
review potential water
trails in coastal North
Carolina.
This committee, com-
posed of seven members
from the different areas of
N.C. representing all types
of trail users, will meet in
the ECU Regional Devel-
opment Institute, Willis
Building, at 10 a.m.
Then on Jan. 14, a
North Carolina Trails
Coastal Area public meet-
ing will be held at the
ECU Regional Development
Institute from 1:30-5 p.m.
The meeting is the second
in a three part series of
regional workshops spon-
sored by the N.C. Trails
Association, N.C. Trails
Committee, N.C. Dept. of
Natural Resources and
Community Development
and the Parks, Recreation

lum at ECU.
Howard Lee, secretary
of the Dept. of Natural
Resources, announced
plans for the Mountain-to-
Sea Trail last Fall. Jim
Stevens director of State
Parks and Recreation, set
up the meetings and
appointed task forces to
involve the trail users and
landowners who would be
participating in the devel-
opment of the trails.
The Greenville meeting
will set the course of
action to establish the new
trails in eastern North
Carolina. The coastal area
will be divided into work
groups and lask forces
appointed to establish a
regional trail complex for
the Wayne Lenoir Counties
area. " the Jones Carteret
Counties area, the Outer
Banks, the Merchants Mill
PondDismal Swamp area
and the Bladen Lakes area.
The Greenville work-
shop will coordinate with
the other two groups in
Greensboro and Asheville
to link the series of trails
continuously from the
mountains to the Outer
Banks. The workshop is
designed to promote
interest in hiking, bike,
canoe, horse and off-the-
road vehicle trails. The
meeting will be open to
the pvhlic.
Tl t successful estab-

Christian schools balk
REFLECTIONS IN THE window, of what we were and school spirit was spotted recently,
what we are about to become. This artistic reflection of
CHARLOTTE, AP -
Never have so many gone
to court so much over a
few regulations - at least
that's how it seems to
state officials fighting a
costly legal war against 63
of the state's Christian
schools.
"Never have we had a
problem where so many
nonpublic schools have
refused to comply with
state statutes and board of
education regulations
said Andrew Vanore Jr
the N.C. deputy attorney
general coordinating most
of the state's cases.
The 63 schools maintain
they are religious opera-
tions and should be pro-
tected from government
regulations by the consti-
tutional separation of
church and state. But the
state is arguing the schools
are subject to the same
regulations as other public
and private schools.
The fundamentalist
schools have objected to
state regulation in four
areas. The schools have
refused to file annual state
reports on teacher quali-
fications, curriculum, text
books and physical facili-
ties.
A Wake County Super-
ior Court judge ordered the
schools to file the reports
Sept. 1, 1978, but 53
schools refused and ap-
pealed to the N.C. Court
of Appeals.
That court won't hear
the case for at least eight
months, so the state will
ask the N.C. Supreme
Court next month to
bypass the appeals court
and hear the case before
its session ends in May.
In another case, the
Wake Superior Court three
weeks ago ordered 11
church run day care
centers to obtain state
licenses or shut down. On
appeal, the N.C. Court of
Appeals on Dec. 28
ordered the state to allow
the schools to remain open
until the court rules on the
case.
The state has asked the
N.C. Supreme Court to
overturn the appeals court
ruling. 'We're saying the
schools should not be
allowed to continue operat-
ing unless they have satis-
fied the authorities they
are operating safe facilities
for minor children
Vanore said.
The third area of liti-
gation involves the church
schools' refusal to pay
unemployment insurance
taxes for their employees.
The state has asked that
the suit be moved to
federal court.
In the fourth area, the
state and the fundamen-
talist schools are at odds
over the schools' refusal to
administer the state
compentencY test.

Would you spend $11
� it
to lock this guy up?
a year
Instead of finding him a
job. Or teaching him a skill.
Or building a resourceful
community which would
provide him a decent quality
of life.
No. Yet the government
plans to spend more than
what a year at Harvard costs
to put him in prison, where
he'll be warehoused and
then returned to the com-
munity without the skills or
contacts essential to life out-
side of prison. That's why
60 of all people presently
in our jails and prisons will
end up back there.
Over 920 new prisons and jails are currently
planned or under construction. Why? Because the
people who are building them have succeeded in
convincing the public of the following myths.
MYTH 1: Prisons protect us from
dangerous criminals.
TKey don't. Most people in prison are not dangerous
or violent. "90 of the people in prison don't belong
there' says Carl G. Hocker. Hocker, warden of the
Nevada State Prison, is known as "a stern
disciplinarian and tight custody man Another
warden puts the figure at "less than 5-8 Many
other prison administrators give similar figures.
These figures imply a need for many fewer prisons,
not hundreds more.
MYTH 2: Prisons help criminals
reform their behavior.
Though the evidence supports the opposite, this
myth is still widely believed. Just about no one
seriously advances the idea any more. Chief Justice
Warren Burger sums up expert opinion: "Clearly
prisons do not rehabilitate
MYTH 3: Prisons punish criminals.
They do�but almost exclusively poor and non-white
people. Yet these people don't commit more crimes
than anyone else. Most crimes are committed by
people who don't get caught�professionals,
corporate criminals, those in organized crime.
Compare forty billion dollars a year lost through
white collar crime with 2.5 billion dollars lost through
street crime.
Corporate crime is seldom discovered. And
when it is, the offender rarely goes to prison. For
example, only 18 of all convicted embezzlers go to
prison (for an average of 15 months). For the rest,
there are numerous alternatives. 89 of all
convicted robbers go to jail (for an average of 10Vz
years). For robbers there are virtually no alternatives.
Who benefits from prison
and jail construction?
First, the companies who
build them. New prisons
and jails today cost between
$30,000 and $100,000 per
bed, more than luxury
hotels. Second, the growing
correctional bureaucracy
whose jobs depend on an
expansive program of prison
construction. The Federal
Bureau of Prisons plans to
build more prisons in the
next 10 years than they've
built since the Bureau was
established. State and local
government plans similar
expansion�dose to 920 new jails and prisons.
Finally, politicians who want concrete responses to
the rising public fear of crime. Prisons are fust that.
Prisons and jails are the most visible responses to
crime, but the least effective. The solution to crime
lies in changing the conditions which produce
crime�serious unemployment, poor education,
inadequate housing. These are long-term solutions,
but there are dozens of alternatives available now.
They all work better than prison. And they cost very
little or nothing.
For a fraction of what government wants us to
spend on building new prisons, we could go a long
way toward eliminating the need for prisons. We
could, that is, if some very powerful people weren't
intent on keeping things just the way they are�
inefficient, brutal and profitable.
If anything is to change, the public must know
the truth about prison construction and take an
active stand against it. Our initial goal is to stop all
prison and jail construction in the United States. This
will force governments to consider, try out and
finally adopt alternatives to imprisonment. You can
help as a volunteer or financial contributor in curbing
expansion and eventually putting to rest one of the
cruelest and most useless institutions in our society

ECU '78 in review
The past year was a landmark for
campus media, with the creation of a
relatively non-political Media Board to
oversee their operations. This progressive
step was perhaps the single greatest benefit
to campus media, and the board has
handled its duties reasonably well. Of
course mistakes were made, but the final
record is a favorable one.
The 1978 BUCCANEER failed to
materialize due to a number of blunders
and an irresponsible editor.
WECU-FM almost became a reality, and
hopefully will get off the ground in the
coming year. Despite some ominous rumors
of an administration takeover, the outlook is
promising. Station Manager John Jeter is to
be commended for making more progress
thatn his predecessors toward this goal.
The creation of the position of
vice-chancellor for student life, one of
Chancellor Brewer's first steps in his
administrative reorganization, can only be
viewed as a step forward. Under Brewer's
plan, any branch of the university directly
affecting students would come under this
person's authority, alleviating many of the
problems students faced in the past when
they often found themselves with no place
to turn.
For the first time in over three decades,
ECU had to break in a new chancellor, and
managed to twitter away $2,000 on an
imperial mace, one which will no doubt be
carried proudly into battle. Aside from such
frivolities, the chancellor seems to have
blended well with the university community.
McGinnis Auditorium finally got its long
needed appropriation from the legislature to
renovate the decaying structure, ECU got
its first bowl bid in years and, as seems to
be our habit in bowl games, won.
Unfortunately, ECU lost a dedicated warrior
when Edwin Monroe, vice-chancellor for
health affairs, saw his position eliminated in
an administrative reorganization. Monroe
was a key force in the fight for the ECl
med school, and it is shameful that he
could not assimilated into the university
somewhere. The loss is ours, not his.

Mr Wasserman states: "A major 1974 study by none
ther than the Ford Foundation showed we could, with
simple conservation measure, cut our energy consumption
in halt with minimal effects on our precious lifestyle, thus
eliminating the need for nuclear expansion altogether
Arm Energy Future (Ballinger Publishing Co.
nbridge, Mass 1974.) What the report actually says
(summarized in a graph on 91) is that by enacting'certain
conservation measures we could cut our energy
consumption in the year 2000 by 46 percent of what it
would be in that year if we did not take any action.
However, the actual energy use in the year 2000, even
with thos(. conservation measures enacted, would still be
33 percent higher than the 1974 level of energy use
rather than 50 percent lower as Mr. Wasserman implies
is a matter of debate as to whether or not the
iservation methods would have a "minimal" effect on
It's.
The Ford Foundation report states that no new nuclear
power plants will be needed before the year 2000 if the
conservation measures are enacted and the use of
domestic fossil fuels is expanded. A very small
tnbulion from other energy sources such as solar and
thermal is projected. However, the report does not
alternative energy sources to replace dwindling
lossil tuel supplies after the year 2000.
Mr Wasserman sweeps this serious objection aside by
simply declaring (without supporting evidence, as usual)
that solar energy and its "cousins wind, tidal, and
geothermal energy are well researched and ready to go
as a partial source within the next five years and our total
supplier by the second or third decade of the next
century Since we in the Physics Department at ECU do
arch in solar energy we would be happy if such a
prediction came true, but we believe it to be seriouslv
overstated.
Information pertinent to this subject can be found in an
article by Dr. Norman R. Sheridan who is a director of the
International Solar Energy Society and is a recognized
expert in the field of solar energy. In the August 1978
issue of Sunworld he writes: "Today solar energy is a
topical subject with a great many advocates, many of
whom do not comprehend the complexity of the
situation.They consider only that part of the problem
within their experience
"To the antinuclear lobby, solar energy is the
antithesis of the dreaded nuclear reactor with its waste
disposal problems To them it matters little that nuclear
energy is available now whereas solar energy is a promise
for the future.
"As a whole, modern society is becoming aware that
damage can result from human interaction with the
environment. Concerned members of society believe that
the impact of energy use on the environment can be
reduced by solar energy and that the quality of life will be
enhanced. This simplistic approach does not consider
whether solar energy can meet the legitimate demand for
energy, n0r does it consider the resulting downturn in the
economy if the demand is not met.
"World energy demand has been increasing exponen-
tially lor several decades and could be expected to
continue to increase as population expands and the
underprivileged nations strive for increasing affluence.
Even in developed coutries, it is hard to predict a
levehng-off of energy consumption, since the economy is
eared to the rise in production that has been achieved bv

To FOUNTAINHEAD:
With regard to the
Dec. 7 article on the
vandalism of the FOUN-
TAINHEAD office and
property, if editor Doug
White did not mean to
implicate that the Print
Group had vandalized the
boxes then he should
have simply reported what
happened rather than
making the statement that
he did. His disclaimer says
more to imply he felt the
Print Group was involved
than any fair and accurate
reporting of the incident.
If anyone of the
FOUNTAINHEAD staff had
ever been in the Art
School the week before
exams they would know
that the last thing any art
student has time to think
about is whether FOUN-
TAINHEAD is printed,
distributed, or much less
ways to vandalize it. I
doubt if you could find
more than a handful of
students who even had
time to realize that the
paper did not come out on
Tuesday.
With such incidents as
not printing commitments,
printing of a letter not
intended for publication,
and advertisements for
employment with the
student newspaper reading
not for art majors,
FOUNTAINHEAD seems to
be deliberately trying to
antagonize the students of
the Art School. We can only
wonder whv.
Patricia P. Knight
Editor's note: FOUN-
TAINHEAD regrets that
the Print Group feels
accused of vandalism due
to the Editor's comments.
Ao accusation was in-
tended.
The advertisement in
question was for the
position of Production
Manager, a job dealing
uith graphic arts, infor-
tunately, that term means
hoth visual arts i.e

We were. naturally,
interested in the latter
definition.
In the past, whenever
we hate advertised for
persons skilled in those
areas, art students have
applied expecting to do

creative side of the graphic

trying to prevent such
applicants from wasting

the increasing application of energy. Certainly, energy
conservation could provide a temporary respite; but the
seemingly insatiable demand for affluence would ensure a
return to energy growth after a time.
"On the basis of predictions made from current trends
and with existing societal attitudes, it is doubtful whether
solar, energy will be able to make up the shortfall in
several critical energy areas before the economy suffers
One means of satisfying our energy needs 'in the near
future is through increased use of nuclear power. There
are risks associated with nuclear reactor, but we believe
there are more serious risks associated with the other
energy sources that will be available in the near future.
Certainly the nuclear risks were greatly distorted bv
Mr. Wasserman. We could encourage everyone to read the
following two articles available in the Joyner Library (1)
'Impact of the Nuclear Energy Industry on 'Human
Health and Safety American Scientist, vol. 64, p. 550
and (2) "Nuclear Power-Compared to What? American
Scientist, vol. 64, p. 290. Both articles are well
documented and give a positive view of nuclear energy.
Our energy future is too important to have the facts so
greatly distorted as they were by Mr. Wasserman. We
urge all to abandon rhetoric and replace it with informed
reason.

I would like to take this
opportunity to set the
record straight concerning
the Boston concert. It
appears like all the blame
is being placed on the
intramural department for
the cancellation of the
concert.
Actually the Intramural
Department played a minor
role. The main reason for
the cancellation was the
Physical Education classes.
The gym area would be
occupied from 24-48 hours
by people connected with
the concert.
This would disrupt
classes. In fall and spring,
classes can be held
outside, during the winter
they can not.
The second reason for
the cancellation was the
fact that the varsity
basketball teams would be
practicing at this time of
year. They occupy the
basketball court from 4-8.
Intramurals was the
third and last reason and
is willing to take pan of
the blame, but not all of
it. Voicing disapproval is
fine, but let's complain to
the right people.

Reginald Marsh paints with 1
'humanity' and 'power'
By JEFF ROLLINS
Trends Editor
Reginald Marsh paints
life in the city with all of
its sensuality, vulgarity and
joie de vivre. From the
1920's to the 1950's he has
depicted such urban scenes
as subway station, crowded
streets and buildings, all of
them flowing over with
humanity.
The burlesque house
especially interested him
with its frank sexuality. He
made hundreds of sketches
and paintings of burlesque
actresses in varying stages
0. nudity along with the
gaping, cigar-in-the-mouth
men who formed their
audiences.
The book,Marsh, repre-
sents the artist's entire
oeutre, from the 1920's to
the 1950's which includes
tempera, oil and watercolor
paintings, as well as
murals, etchings, engrav-
ings, chinese-ink drawings,
sketchbook pages and ana-
tomical studies.
Lloyd Goodrich, con-
sultant to and former
Director of the Whitney
Museum of American Art,
who was a long ' time
personal friend of the
artist, explores Marsh's
role as one of the out-
standing painters of the
American urban scene.
At the beginning of our
centurv the attitude of
most American artists
toward the native scene
was either avoidance or
idealization. The raw actu-
alities of the United States,
the life of most of the
population, and that vital
phenomenon the American
city, were shunned by the
academic artists who
controlled the art world.
Turning away from such
vulgarities, they devoted
themselves to the world of
the upper and upper-mid-
dle classes, to the pleasant
aspects of life in America,
and to the idyllic in
nature.
Women
Womankind played a
large role in their art, but
womankind idealized: the
wife and mother in her
sheltered home, the virgin
untouched by life, the
allegorical figure symbo-
lizing all the virtures. The
female nude was a favorite
motif, but shown under
definitely restricted condi-
tions: the model in the
studio, the nymph by the
pool.
In the early 1900's this
academic idealism was
shattered by the young
rebels led by Robert Henri,
who painted New York
City and its people with a
blend of robust realism
and genial romanticism,
relishing the city's wealth
of human interest and
character, but ignoring
its seamier -itit
In their attitude toward
sex they continued the
traditional American reti-
cence; they pictured
vaudeville but not bur-
lesque. Nevertheless the
Henri group effected a
revolution in the American
artist's concern with
American life.
By the middle 1920's,
when Reginal Marsh began
his career, the contem-
porary American scene had
become major subject
matter for artists of many
different viewpoints. A
rising generation of New
York painters, of whom
Marsh was one, was
beginning to picture the
city and its lie with a
realism more drastic than
that of the Henri group but
at the same time with a
deeply affirmative love of
the city in its manifold
aspects.
Marsh first studied at
the academic stronghold,
the Yale Art School. "I
was taught drawing from
the antique and painting in
still life by the pedants of
the Yale Art School he
wrote later, "in a way that
would make their 'old
master' heroes turn in
their graves
"First orthodox lessons,
1919, still lofe class he
recorded in 1937. "Your
palette is your violin, your
brushes the bow oxfor-
dized Dean Sergeant
Kendall. "Use dirty palette
and unwashed brushes all
season. Denied access to
life class. It was all I could
do to pass the courses
he recalled.
His first experience in
illustrating came from his
drawing for The Yale
Record. On graduating in
1920 he came to New
York, and embarked on the
precarious career of a
freelance illustrator for
newspapers and slick-paper
magazines such as Vanity
Fair and Harper's Bazaar.
His special subjects be-
came theatres, vaudeville,
night life, and humorous
illustrations.
Burlesque
Then in 1922 the Daily
News took him on as a
staff artist to do a daily
column of vaudeville
drawings. "I must have
covered and drawn at least
four thousand vaudeville
acts he said a few years
later.
"It took the place of an
art school he said, "and
was very good training
because you had to get the
people in action, and
sketch them quickly
Reginald Marsh's vision
centers on humanity;
wherever the crowds are
thickest, he finds his
themes. He loves the
multitudinous life of New
York City, and in his art
captures its entire social
range, from dance-dives to
the most exclusive night-
clubs and the opera.
REGINALD MARSH'S VISION centers on humanity;
wherever the crowds are thickest, he finds his themes. He
loves the multitudinous life of New York City and in his
Marsh's
art captures its entire social range. Few artists have had
such an eye for the urban environment.
realism was
uncompromising; he drew
and painted American
urban life without romanti-
cizing it or adding false
glamour. In his vital,
bravura style he recorded
the popular pursuit of
pleasure, especially sex as
publicly presented and the
magnetic power of the
female bod v.
In burlesque houses
and dancehalls, on the
beach at Coney Island, in
the image of the girl
walking on Fourteenth
Street, he finds the human
figure in all its beauty or
ugliness, but always in its
common humanity and
essential ii;ilit.
No one portrayed with
more authenticity or less
sentimentality the seamv
side of life, the degrada-
tion and misery that can
be seen along the Bowery-
bums, drunks in flop-
houses, the derelicts of our
civilization.
Such pictures are
poignant documents of
human tragedy. Humor is
often present, but it is a
mordant humor, and there
is often a relish for the
grotesque.
This collected works
will certainly be one of the
most important out in the
new year and may cause
museums to feature exhi-
bitions of Marsh's work. If
so, one of the major artists
of this century will be
finally getting the recog-
nition he deserves.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but
you can't fool all the people all the time.
A wise man penned those words. However; this man -
great wisdom and all - never saw an audience at Bill
Robinson's magic show.
Robinson, a Junior at ECU, totally astounds and baffles
audiences with his unique brand of magic.
"All magic tricks are technically the same. So I try to
make them my own by adding my little personal touches
he said.
One of Robinson's personal touches has to be his quick
wit and flair for comedy.
Robinson readily admits to enjoying the comedy aspect
of magic. He feels this gives his act another dimension.
"I'm not stupendous yet, but I'm improving he
related with a grin.
Robinson's specialty and favorite form of magic is card
; and coin tricks. One could discove; this by simply looking
t at his business cards. They read: "Doc" Robinson -
CARDiologist.
Robinson delivers his card and coin tricks with a fluid
hand-to-eye motion that is almost uncanny.
Robinson passes the motion off as misdirection, but his
audiences know better.
One person who can testify to Robinson's magic skills
is Carolina Today host "Slim" Short. While guesting on a
recent show, Robinson had "Slim" Short almost
flabbergasted with his deliverance ol packet routines.
Robinson explained that packets are cards with
specially designed faces.
"I like doing packet routines. You can really get the
audience involved with these cards he said.
Robinson said packets give him the perfect opportunitv
to work comedy into his act, because some of the car'd
faces are particularly interesting and humorous.
Believe it or not, the great "Doc" Robinson has had a
tnck backfire. Admittedly, the mistake did happen in
practice, not in performance.
Theatre
"i
was practicing a trick where you throw a flame out
of your hand, and I shot the flame past my ear and nearly
set my hair on fire he said with a laugh.
Robinson wouldn't divulge his favorite trick for fear of
revealing secret mannerisms. However, he did discuss his
most difficult trick.
"The hardest trick 1 do is one involving Chinese
linking rings. The difficulty doesn't come from the
technique required, even though the directions are nine
pages long, but from the smoothness and misdirection it
requires said Robinson.
Robinson has worked out the "kinks" in the Chinese
linking rings, and it is now one of his crowd pleasers.
One thing Robinson would like to incorporate into hi
is
Samuel R. Delany's Nova 'seizes your attention9
Bv WILLIAM JONES
Staff Writer �
"We have to go to the
rim of chaos and bring
back a handful of fire
"Into the blasting sun
plunge?How, Captain?"
Like any well written
adventure story, Samuel R.
Delany's Nova seizes your
attention and welds it to
each sentence.
Set 1200 years in the
future, when interstellar
travel is commonplace, the
human race has colonized
dozens of star systems.
The two most powerful are
the original Sol-centered
Draco system and thePlei-
ade- Federation.
From its headquarters
on Earth, Red Shift Limi-
ted, manufacturer of all
interstellar propulsion
units, dominates the econ-
omy. In competition, the
Pleiades based Von Ray
family holds extensive
influence over mining oper-
ations in the Outer Colon-
ies. What the two have in
common is Illyrion.
Illyrion. Several grams
and you can turn a lifeless
moon's frozen core to
molten rock and create a
paradise of it. With an
atomic weight exceeding
three hundred, Illyrion has
thousands of times the
energy of uranium. And is
the power source for every-
thing from hyperlight tra-
vel to flashlight batteries.
Mined at tremendous
expense in the Outer
Colonies, Illyrion is as rare
as a snowball in Florida.
Therefore political and
economic sway is directly
proportional to the amount
of Illyrion one possesses.
Against this backdrop is
an even more intense
personal rivalry between
the sinister Prince Red, his
Sister, Ruby Red, heirs to
the Red Shift dynasty, and
Lorq Von Ray. This hatred
de-lops into a ruthless
race across the galaxy to
tap a virgin source of
immense amounts of Il-
lyrion � a star gone nova.
Only Von Ray, a hot
young pilot, knows exactly
how to dive into the
inferno of a nova and come
back with a "handful of
fire Enough "fire" to
cause the Reds' downfall
and give the Von Rays'
economic control of the
galaxy. But success is not
without its price.
Von Ray's starship is
crewed by a rainbow of
characters from all corners
of the galaxy. Moon-born
Katin, an intelligent but
somewhat egotistsic 6'9"
scholar engaged in the
outdated art of writing a
novel. Sebastion, whose
quiet strength is symbol-
ized by his black eaglelike
pet. Tyy, Sebastion's Tarot
reading mate. Idas and
Lynceos, one black, one
albino, twin brothers from
the Outer Colonies. And
finally the Mouse, a young
gypsy from Earth who
creates fantastic visions
with a . sensory projection
device.
This colorful character-
ization helps make Nova
the intriguing novel it is.
Samuel Delany, a four
time Nebula Award winner,
is author of the widely
read Dhalgrena long,
"schizophrenic" novel a-
bout the end of civilization
on Earth). In Nova, Del-
any's writing prowess is
shown through the most
effective use of foresha-
dowing I've ever encoun-
tered. By use of the Tarot
and comparison of the
pursued nova with the
Holy Grail, a subtle yet
perceptible inference to the
story's conclusion is made.
Exciting and masterfully
written. Nova is another
example of science-fiction
as a legitimate form of
literature and good read-
ing.

composing, this seems quite natural.
"I'm into the mannerisms and style of the medievel

Robinson, a member of Ph. Mu Alpha Music
Fraternity, is also working up a show based on the brother
hood of Phi Mu Alpha.
Probably the most interesting thing Robinson -
currently working on is a show for a national and major
entertainment agencv.
"I'm not at liberty ,t name the agencv at this ,

golden oldies that, even though her renditions gave them
new hfe, stifled her talents as a singer of the seventies.
Songbird, though, is comprised only of new songs and
very good ones, too.
If you've seen Pippin you will be familiar with the
pleasant song "Tomorrow Streisand's version of this
lovely song is liliting and softly cheerful. It really does
"clear away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'A Man I Loved" gives Barbra a chance to belt out a
strong song, utilizing her powerful, controlled voice. One
test of the truly superb singer is when she can sing
fortissimo and not be simply yelling.
'I Don't Break Easily" is a song about love lost and
which possesses a fine melody. In "I Don't Break Easily"
Barbra sings with the spirit of a woman who has been in
love and who is determined to cope bravely with the end
of the affair. Her interpretation of this song is flawless.
"Love Breakdown" sounds as if it were constructed to
become a hit. It has the characteristic back-up vocals, the
catchy "hook" and the compulsive beat that would make
it a perfect flip-side.
On the albumSongbird Barbra appears more as herself
than she does on many of her previous albums. The cover
shows her posing with Sadie, her favorite dog, and the
back cover has pictures of several of her other dogs.
This album is a very personal album, and when the
person is Barbra Streisand, that's very good.

Three home meets in January
Pirate swimmers face Maine
By DAVID MAREADY
Staff Writer
Despite an overall 1-2
dual meet record thus far
in the season, the Pirate
swimming team has
acheived some remarkable
accomplishments.
Earlier in the season
the Pirates traveled to
Chapel Hill where they
swam against long time
rival UNC. The match went
right down to the wire
with the Tarheels edging
out the Pirates in the end
l a heartbreaking score of
57-56.
According to Pirate
coach Ray Scharf, the
Pirates swam one of their
best meets ever. "We had
an excellent overall team
performance commented
Scharf. "Several of our
guys broke school varsity
records which really
pleased me; we also had
about three swimmers to
break best time of the year
records
Pirate diver Tom Bell
swept both the diving
events while qualifying
nationally in the one meter
diving competition with a
socre of 171.45.
arsity records were
broken al the meet by
Kevin Meisel in the 1000
yard freestyle, by Jack
Clowar in the 200 yard
individual medley, and by
Clowar in the 200 yard
backstroke.
"Carolina always brings
out the best in us
continued Scharf, "This
year we even shaved our
legs for the meet and they
shaved theirs too. So, both
teams turned in some
really excellent times be-
cause of this. Our squad
took nine of the thirteen
�vents, but we still lost the
match by one point. The
reason for this is that UNC
has the better depth of the
two teams and were able
to score more points
-imply because they were
able to place more men in
each event
The South Carolina In-
flation was the next stop
lor the Pirates on Decem-
ber 8th and 9th. Several
Pirates posted nationally
qualifying times including:
John Tudor in the 200
freestyle, and the 400 and
800 freestyle teams of
Tudor, Bill Fehling, Jack
Clowar and Ted Nieman.
Several other nationally
recognized teams were on
hand for the meet includ-
ing such powerhouses as
Florida St University of
Miami, USC, University of
Tennessee, and UNC.
"The whole squad
swam very well noted
Scharf, "everyone recorded
his personal best times
The Pirates recorded
their first win of the young
season on Dec. 16 versus
Old Dominion. The ECU
squad easily defeated the
Monarchs by a comfortable
margin of 75-39. John
Tudor was at his best as
he posted a varsity record
time of 1:57.37 in the 200
vard backstroke.
During the holidays the
ECU squad was in Winter
Park, Fla. for their annual
training session at Rollins
College. Scharf explained
the purpose of the expedi-
tion.
"The purpose of the
trip is to boost the stamina
and endurance of our
swimmers physically as
well as mentally. The trip
is financed entirely out of
fhe money raised by the
team members. This year's
trip was very successful
Three home dual meets
are scheduled for the
Pirates in January. The
first of the matches will be
swam against a strong
University of Maine Team
which has already seen teh
Pirates in action during the
Perm State Relay in which
they narrowly defeated the
Pirates in final lean, -tan
dings.
Starting time for
meet will be 1:00
