Gillman relinquishes coaching duties
B SM ROGKKS
Sports hdilor
Alter two years of endless rumor and
speculation Larry Cillrnan finally resigned his duties
as head basketball coach at East Carolina
ednesdaj afternoon.
In a statement released b) athletic department,
Gillman said the university's failure to issue him a
long-term contract to continue the development of
basketball program was the reason for
submitting his resignation.
Gillman's resignation is effective immediately and
h tor a successor will begin immediately.
I was very eager to get a head coaching job,
but 1 didn't analyze the situation lin at East
l?na very Cillrnan said. "I was only
-ear- old when 1 took the job and it was
ainly a great coaching opportunity for me.
But the program here needs a longer
mitment from the university along with more
mom 5 and better facilities he continued. "I'm not
happy with the way things have turned out. but I'm
relieved right now
Cillrnan, a former assistant coach at San
"ra: came to Easl Carolina in 1977 after Dave
signed, fter boasting the Pirates would hi
or 18 games during Gillman's first
Carolina finished with a disappointing
9-17 record.
At the end of the season, the Athletic Council
voted unanimously to dismiss Gillman, but former
East Carolina Chancellor Leo Jenkins overruled the
decision and allowed him at least one more year on
his contract.
Although the Pirates defeated highly regarded
schools such as South Carolina, Iona, and Atlantic
Coast Conference member Georgia Tech this season,
East Carolina still finished with a 12-15 record.
Reports of player dissension were widespread
among athletic department circles all season
long. Forward Herb Gray left I he team at
mid-semester and guard Walter Moseley withdrew
from school last week. Freshman center Al Tyson
also quit the squd after last week's game against
Old Dominion and did not make the trip with the
team to Notre Dame Monday.
A total of nine players have transferred or quit
the squad since Gillman became head coach and
two assistants also resigned during that period.
'I never pouted after any losses we had, and I
did what I said I was going to do Gillman
explained. "I got the top players to come here and
1 got a top notch schedule for the program which
was the first time that ever happened
The final year of Gillman's three-year contract is
expected to be paid by the university. He earns an
estimated $20,000 per year.
Gillman said he has no immeaiate plans, but will
probably return to the New York or Washington,
D.C. area. 'Rjght now, I'm just tired of coaching
he added. "It's just been too many bus trips and
plane rides and too much time away from home.
Everyone knows I'm a salesman and that's probably
what I wdl get into when I leave.
"The biggest thrill I got during my coaching
career at East Carolina was beating Iona up there
in New York. Since I grew up right near there, it
was a really satisfying win for me
Although ECU Athletic Director Bill Cain said
the search for a new coach would begin
immediately, it was reported Pirate assistant coach
lerry Kunze was the leading candidate for the
vacancy.
Other names mentioned were Wake Forest
assistant coach David Odom, former ECU assitant
Butch Estes, now an assistant at Rice University
and Dick Grubar, a former star at North Carolina
and assistant at the University of Florida.
Gillman, a 30-year-old native of Mt. Vernon,
N.Y finished at East Carolina with a 21-32 overall
record. He also served as an assistant coach at
Minnesota, Houston, and West Chester Communitv
College.

Jeff Williams, SGA
elections chairperson,
has announced the
election dates and
deadlines.
The filing for can-
didancy for any SGA
office will be held from
Feb. 21 until March 13.
Williams stressed the
importance of the
candidate meeting. This
mandatory meeting will
be held on March 13 at
7 p.m. This session will
meet in room 221 in
Mendenhall Student
Center.
During March 14
through March 27, all
candidates will be
allowed to campaign.
Rules for campaigning
will be discussed at the
candidate meeting.
The SGA elections
will be held on March
28 and 29 according to
Williams. In the past,
the elections were only
held on one day. This
year, Williams has
scheduled the elections
for two days hoping to
increase the voter
participation on campus.
Williams said that in
past years, the voter
attendance has been
poor. He said that
during last year's
elections, only 2,200
students voted. Out of
an enrollment of about
13,000, this percentage
general
in the
is lower than
election held
United States.
Williams said that
usually between 2,000
and 2,700 students show
up to vote and they
hope by having

Williams said that
the election precincts
have previously been
set up in dorms causing
on-campus students to
be the primary partici-
pants in the voting.
This year, the
elections committee
hopes to extend the
precincts into the
classroom buildings.
Williams hopes that this
will be more convenient
for the off-campus stu-
dents. Williams feels
this move is neeearv
because of the growing
number of student- who
are moving off campus.

Dr. Raymond Bus-
bee's Recreational In-
terpretation of Cultural
and Natural Resources
students are offering a
unique service. His
class will design and
build a nature trail for
almost any local agency
which will contact them.
"Our objective is to
locate agencies who
would like to have
nature trails and inter-
petive facilities (identify
geological formations,
plants, and wildlife)
constructed said Dr.
Busbee. "This would
enable our students to
get the necessary
training in building a
trail from the ground
up
Right now the class
is involved in building a
nature trail at the
Walter B. Jones Alco-
holic Rehabilitation Ce-
nter here in Greenville.
The trail will be the
only one of its kind in
P?tt County. It will be
for the use of the
patients at the ARC.
The trail, when com-
pleted, will be about
four tenths of a mile
long, and will have a
picnic area, two small
bridges, a boardwalk
across a marsh area, a
gateway, and will have
signs identifying differ-
ent plants and trees
along the trail.
"The students will
also assist with the
design and construction
of a physical fitness
trail for the clients at
the center according
to a news release.
Busbee felt that the
trails will be a
"tremendous asset"
the ARC.
to
Building the trails is
part of the curriculum
of the course. Busbee's
classes have also built
trails at the Cliffs of
the Nuese State Park,
and at the Onslow
County Parks and
Recreation facility. Bus-
bee feels the course will
be beneficial, because it
will increase the num-
ber of trails in an area
where nature trails are
scarce.
"There are only
about one and a half
inches of trail per
citizen in North Caro-
lina" according to
Busbee, who is the
Chairman of the North
Carolina Trails Commi-
ttee.
Most recently Bus-
bee has been promoting
the establishment of a
Mountain-to-Sea trail
which would extend
from the Appalachian
trail in the Smoky
Mountains National Park
to the Outer Banks.
"The trail would wind
through some of the
states most scenic
areas, would link with
several state parks, and
might eventually be
expanded to accomodate
a wide variety ot
outdoor activities inclu-
ding hiking, bicycling,
canoeing and the use of
otl-the-road vehicles
according to a news
release.
The N.C Trails
Committee has desig-
nated the 20-mile wide
planning corridor which
will contain the main
trail arteiv. At present
the commit toe is trying to
acquire rights to land in
this corridor and the
N.C. Department o
Natural Resources and
Community Development
has requested Sl.SW.
? ? 4 in tunds over the
next five years to help
to establish the trail
route.

some 600,000 Tar Heels
would have been unable
to get their plates
before the original
deadline.
The collective sigh ot
relief that went up all
across the state from
the procrastinators
drowned out, for all
practical purposes, news
that the General As-
sembly would also
consider a proposal to
eliminate almost entirely
the long lines at the
local license plate
agency.

Opinions were mixed
as several people were
asked if they thought
the deadline extension
of this year's license
tags and the General
Assembly bill was a
good idea. All inter-
viewed had received
their tags by the 15th
deadline.
'The extension is
good because of the
bad weather we have
had said Lonnie
Harper. "I like the
system as it is, not
what the legislators
propose she added.
Kim Darby also
agreed that the exten-
sion was a good idea.
"Because of the wea-
ther people weren't able
to get out and around
she said.
Fate Smith didn't
see anything wrong with
the extension or with
the proposed plan to
stagger the license tags
expirations.
"I do think it is a
good idea according
to Watson Hall referring
to thenew plan.

that

Louisiana has the best
idea. Buy one plate per

never have to buy

Al (Jwens said
perhaps the proposal
would eliminate the
long lines to pick up

Cliff Moore, vice
chancellor for business
affairs, said in a recent
interview that renovation
on Jarvis Dorm will
begin soon and should
be completed by Fall
-rniilrr.
About a month ago
the ceiling in Jarvis
caved in and all
residents had to be
moved out and spread
around in other dorms.
Moore said that in
his opinion the cave-in
was the result of work
done some years ago.
Moore explained that
some rewiring was done
years ago and concrete
was used to patch over
the new wiring. The
concrete was approx-
imately two inches thick
and was being held up
only by some small
nails in the ceiling.
According to Moore,
Jarvis, Cotten and
Fleming will all be
renovated.
Moore said that
Jarvis will be renovated
this year, Cotten next
year and finally Fleming
the following year.
Moore said that the
anticipated cost of
renovation is $500,000
for each of the three
dorms.
According to Moore,
bids for the renovation
of Cotten and Fleming
will be taken at the end
of Fall semester for the
next two years and the
renovations will take
place in the spring.
As a result of these
renovations it will be
necessary to move the
residents of whichever
dorm is going to be
renovated to other
dorms at the end of
Fall semester, said
Moore.
Moore explained that
it would be impossible
to renovate any dorm
during Fall semester
because enrollment is
higher in the Fall than
in the Spring and the
university could not
afford to close a dorm
during the peak enroll-
ment period.
Moore said that the
work on Jarvis would
begin sometime in the
near future.
"We've got to go
through some paper
work with the general
administration in Chapel
Hill first said Moore.
Moore said that bids
have not been taken yet
for the work.
"We're going to get
some people to go in
and take out the con-
crete before we take
any bids said Moore.
Moore said that ul-
timately all the ceilings
in Jarvis, Cotten and
Fleming will be re-
placed and the buildings
will be completely re-
wired.
Moore added that
even though the dorms
are being rewired they
are not being rewired
for cooking purposes.
Moore said that
cooking in the dorms is
only allowed at three
universities in NC at
the present time (ECU
NC State, and UNC-
CH).
According to Moore,
cooking in the dorms
has caused many
problems for the uni-
versity.
The overloading of
electrical circuits and
the influx of roaches
are the two biggest
problems resulting from
cooking, according to
Moore.
Dr. Brewer is
going to meet with the
chancellors from State
and UNC to talk about
the problems of dorm
cooking, and there has
also been some discuss-
ion by the UNC Board
of Governors about this
problem said Moore.
The university plans
to initiate a program of
upgrading all dorms on
campus over the next
several years, according
to Moore.
Moore said that
there are immediate
plans to equip all dorms
with smoke detectors
and fire alarms.
At the present time
10 dorms are in need of
fire alarms and smoke
detectors, while five are
only in need of smoke
detectors.
Moore estimates the
cost of equipping these
dorms with fire preven-
tion equipment at
roughly one million
dollars.
Moore also said tht
in the future there are
plans to carpet the
hallways of all the
dorms and to put Vene-
tian blinds in all dorm
rooms.
According to moore.
a bond issue will be
"floated' for approx-
imately 2.5 million
dollars to cover the cost
of renovating Jarvis,
Cotten, and Fleming
and to pay for the
-moke detectors and fire
alarms

So long, Gillman
ECU Head Basketball Coach Larry
Gillman finally resigned yesterday,
two-thirds of the way through his
hree-year contract. Our only regret
is that he didn't do it sooner.
During the two years he coached
here, he developed a reputation as a
braggart whose outspoken boasts and
self-aggrandizement continually emba-
rressed Pirate fans. Sometime last
ar, he spoke to an ECU journalism
class and said "before I came here,
people didn't know ECU had a
asketbafl program. At least now
;ryone knows we have a program

'everyone" has been
aware of that fact,

He made front
when, following weeks of public
pressure for his removal or resigna-
tion, he claimed he had been offered
a position with the NBA team the
Chicago Bulls for a reported $32 000
a year (about $12,000 more than'his
salary at ECU). The Bulls' reply
was, basically, "Larry who?"
"Everyone knows I'm a sales- '
man' Gillman said in his resignation
statement, and that is perhaps the
most honest assessment of the man
to date. He certainly packaged and
sold himself to ECU, with the catchy
slogan of "we will win 17 or 18

years later, with a first year record

lack integrity and truth.
SGA will not replace
the school's alma mater

warrant passage. Send-
ing a person who is
troubled a bit on his or

a friend who has suici-

Contrary to this

SGA has not mandated
a sexual preference, it
just defeated a bad bill.
Charlie Sherrod
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
I doubt that there is
anyone on this campus
who is as politically
conservative as I am,
perhaps with the excep-
tion of Dr. John East. I
have consistantly worked
for the conservative
cause and have worked
on behalf of such politi-
cal candidates as
George Wallace and
Jesse Helms.
But I fear I must
shed my conservative
credentials on one of
ECU's most recent and
most controversial
topics: The ECU Gay
Community.
I read with great
disgust the letter from
Neil Johnson in the last
paper. At first I thought
the letter was joke, a
hoax, but unfortunately
it appears that the joke
was the author himself,
a poor, sick-minded
individual I must say.

To FOL!NTAINHEAD:
I'm saddened, very

extremely mad about

Saddened because
there were circum-

by the media which

admire the editor's

Very disappointed
that the legislature, at
least the majority, did
not realize the value of

Most of all, I'm
extremely maddened
that some students see

Jarvis wasn't
as bad as
the stories
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
I am absolutely sick
and tired of hearing
how terrible the dorms
on the mall are.
True, Jarvis is in
need of repair but the
"horror stories" are
merely overblown
rumors which unbeliev-
ingly exclude the high
rise dorms. I lived in
Jarvis Hall for two
years and found it most
pleasant.
I never saw roaches
in the two rooms I lived
in. I did see them in
the canteen, but I saw
larger and more roaches
in rooms of White,
Clement and Tyler
Halls.
I also never had to
take a cold shower as
they often do in White
& Fletcher. The hall-
ways of Jarvis are big
and airy while the high
rise dorm hallways are
suffocating and carry
the aroma of a locker
room.
I can't imagine why
Jarvis Hall was referred
to as a "ghetto" dorm
and I hope this letter
clears up the miscon-
strued impressions of
that dorm.
Susan Ltllard
Previous Jarvis Hail
at best. I have known
rednecks from south
Georgia who were more
humanitarian than Mr.
Johnson.
Johnson used the
Bible as a stump to
stand on to orate his
ridiculous beliefs that
God will surely punish,
swiftly and severly, any-
body or any community
that dares to help or
protect the homosexual.
Johnson would have
us believe that the first
five of the 10.
commandments prohibit
homosexuality.
Well Mr. Johnson, I
consider myself (perhaps
somewhat arrogantly) a
student of the scrip-
tures. True it is that
the Bible frowns on
homosexuality, but it is
not one of the sins
prohibited in the J0i
commandments.
The sins of hetero-
sexuals are far more
numerous and receive
much more attention in
the Bible than the
"sin" of homosexuality.
It is a sin to have
premaritial sex, it is a
sin to have extramaritial
sex, adultery is a sin,
all of these "sins" are
also crimes in the state
of North Carolina.
So tell me Mr.
Johnson, who is the
real sinner? The homo-
sexual or the hetero-
sexual playboy, the AU-
American stud, the big
man of campus who
chases girls around
downtown, drinks beer
and plays football.
Is the homosexual a
worse sinner" than
the thief, the adultress,
the murderer, or the
fornicator.
Lets all take a good
look at ourselves, how
many times have we
used the word god-
damn, how many times
have we had sex out of
wedlock, how many
times have we "swip-
ed" something from the
corner store. Now tell
me why homosexuals
are such "villains
such "criminals such
"sickies
God maj frown upon
homosexuality but he
certainly doesn't hate
homosexuals or anybodv
else for that matter.
God taught us a lot
of things, among them
are charity, compassion,
humanity, and love.
The Bible tells us to
"Let he who is without
sin cast the first
stone and "Judge not
lest ye be judged
We as humans are
vnot the ones to sit in
judgement on homo-
sexuals. For God has
said that "Vengence is

Like George Wallace

Rushen has 'immense ability as a composer9
St
Patrice is 4a combination of funk and soft jazz'
PATRICE RUSHEN'S NEW album "Patrice is a mix of mo-town, disco and jazz
By JEFF ROLLINS
Trends Editor
Patrice Rushen's new album, Patrice, is a
combination of funk and soft jazz which is very
appealing. The young Miss Rushen has a breathy
soprano voice which sounds as good in an up-beat
jazz number as well as in a softer, slower song.
Her voice reminds one of Maria Muldare.
Her ability as composer equals at least and
perhaps surpasses her ability as singer. Her pop
flavored jazz is refreshingly nice to hear. She
composed nearly all the songs on the album.
The first song on the album, "Music of the
Earth is a funky number with a jazzy beat a la
Chick Corea. The arrangement of this song is
replete with staccato lead guitar, stepping bass,
rather latino percussion and a nice, cool synthesizer.
The background vocals remind one of those used by
Herbie Mann occasionally.
"When I Found You" is the type of song that
could easily have been recorded by Barbra
Streisand. But unfortunately, Patrice Rushen's voice
lacks the dynamic quality which makes Streisand
such a powerful singer, and "When 1 Found You"
is a pleasant little song when it could have been a
strong, beautiful one. Even so, the laid-back over-all
sound of the song, enhanced by some nice sax work
by Larry Williams, makes for an enjoyable cut.
The songs on Patrice are alternately fast and
slow. Following the easy-going "When I Found
ou" comes "Changes In Your Life" a song with
compelling rhythmic intensity. The riffing electric
guitar and Patrice's vipping and yelling make this
the most rock-like song on the album even though
the beat is still jazzy. Whatever genre one might
place it in, it is a fun song, and that is enough.
"Wishful Thinking as its name might imply, is
a dreamy sort of song in a minor key. There is a
softly intriguing jazz rhythm underneath the lilting,
flowing melody deliciously sung by Miss Rushen.
This skillfully paced album begins its second side
with "Hang It Up A song with a full-produced
sound, having lots of brass, electric guitar, vocals
and electric organ. The best part of the song is a
piano solo by Rushen herself; it was very good jazz
piano and jazz feeling.
"Cha-Cha" is just that, a thoroughly danceable
to cha-cha rhythm plus lovely singing and melodic-
line by Patrice. They would play it at a chic disco
in Monacco.
"It's just a natural thing" would be boring
except that one can't help but to somehow move to
its beat. It is more jazz than disco but more disco
than jazz.
"Didn't You Know?" is another Barbra
Streisand-like song: excellently produced, compel-
ling melody, sweet feminity. Miss Rushen is a
composer who can mix the best of mo-town, disco
and jazz, with a little bit of Dionne Warwick thrown
in.
The nearly athletic quality of the faster songs on
this album is felt in the lyrics to it. The name of
the song is "Play and the lyrics alternate with
really fun background scat-singing. The are
indicative of the feeling of all the fast songs on the
album.

The Student Union Theatre Arts Committee
presents The North Carolina Dance Theatre here
N. C. Dance Theatre
They're right here at home, and they're among
ufthgbaJMfftaaai the world. The -Nowhr Carolina Dance
Theatre performs throughout the United States and
abroad to the accolades of enthusiastic audiences,
but they count it as a special pleasure to perform
in North Carolina. The company will appear under
the auspices of the Student Union Theatre Arts
Committee on March 13 at 1 p.m. and March 14
at 8 p.m. in Wright Auditorium at East Carolina.
Different repertoires will be used for the two
performances. Although final program selections
have not been made, one particular piece, "The
Grey Goose of Silence will probably be the only
duplication. The mythical town of Silence some-
where in the Appalachian Mountains is the setting
for this ballet created especially for the Dance
Theatre. It is the story of love and change in an
atmosphere of indifference and brutalitv. The work
was made possible by a grant irom the National
Endowment for the Arts. The choreography is by
Nobert Vesak and the music is by Ann Mortifree.
Works choreographed by George Balanchine and
Alvin Ailey are also included in the company
repertoire. Both men are highly selective in regard
to who performs their works and give chosen
companies special training before the pieces are
performed. The Dance Theatre is especially proud to
have the priviledge of dancing these works.
Dance Magazine, the most important trade
magazine tor the world of dance, consistently
praises the North Carolina Dance Theatre for its
style, technique, and selection of pieces. The
publication constantly reiterates how fortunate dance
lovers are that the company became a touring
company rather than remaining a regional group.
Several individual dancers are also being sought for
residencies with other companies. Various other
trade publications praise the company s enlightened
management for insuring that the . ,??v
maintains a varied repertoire.

Players relieved with Gillman's resignation
By SAM ROGERS
Sports Editor
The news that East Carolina basketball coach
Larry billman had resigned came shortly after noon
Wednesday and for most of the Pirate players the
announcement came as no surprise.
Despite an endless number of promises Gillman
would bring a winning and exciting program to East
Carolina, the fast talking New York native posted
back-to-back losing records and submitted his
resignation Wednesday morning to athletic director
bill Cain.
Several players reported they were all but fed up
vyth Gillman's antics both on and off the court by
the end of the year and three members of the team
quit during the season.
o, it really doesn't come as any surprise to
me, torward Herb Krusen said while' eating lunch
Wednesday afternoon. "I thought he would probably
back next year on the basis that the team's
record improved over last season, but you never
know.

Tyson quits team,
plans to transfer
By SAM ROGERS
Sports Editor
East Carolina center Al Tvson has quit the
Pirate basketball team and told FOUNTAINHEAD
Tuesday he has no plans to return to school next
vear.
Thon, a freshman from nearbv Winterville, said
he will finish the semester atECUjand will then
transfer to either St. John's or Lamar University in
Texas next fall.
"I'm finished here and I don't care who talks to
me, I'm not staying another year Tyson said.
"I'm going to stay in school the rest of the
semester and then I'm transferring somewhere else.
St. John's and Lamar have both been in touch with
me and they told me if I wasn't happy to give
them a call and something would be worked out
Although East Carolina coach Larry Gillman
submitted his resignation Wednesday, Tyson said he
was still upset about the situation. He explained his
lack of playing time was a big factor in his decision
to quit the squad. ,
"I'm still very upset about the situation here at
East Carolina and I don't know if I will change my
mind before the end of the semester Tyson said.
"I think everybody on the team was fed up with
the program by the end of the season
After sitting on the bench for the entire first
half last week against Old Dominion, Tyson left the
bench and walked to the dressing room with five
minutes still remaining in the game. He did not
practice with the team last week and did not make
the trip to Notre Dame Monday.
"I just could not get along with Coach Gillman
Tyson explained. "I wasn't happy with the way
things went in practice or anything else he did.
Tyson who was East Carolina's top freshman
recruit this season started several games this year
and scored a career high 26 points against N.C.
State. He saw action in 22 games and averaged six
points and four rebounds a game.
East Carolina concluded its regular season
Monday night with a 89-72 loss to Notre Dame in
South Bend, Ind. The Pirates finished the year with
a 12-15 record and lost to the Soviet National team
in an exhibition contest Tuesday night in
Greensboro Coliseum.

last two years, but we played in a lot of big ones
and he got us on television several times he
continued. "Coach Gillman kept telling us he would
be back next year, but I guess he had to do that
for recruiting purposes
Despite constant reports Gillman would probably
be fired at the end of the season, guard George
Maynor said most of the team had little actual
knowledge about the situation. "We heard all kinds
of rumors about what was going on, but we just
Mack impresses crowd
didn't know what was really going to happen he
said. "Sometimes it appeared like he was under a
lot of pressure, and then at other times he really
didn't show it.
"But during the last two weeks, he seemed
more relaxed Maynor continued. "He may have
just been getting prepared for what was coming
Kyle Powers, a seldom-used reserve for the last
two years, wasn't the least bit disappointed with
Gillman's resignation and said the internal problems
in the program were totally out of hand by the end
of the season.
"I felt like he would probably be fired and not
because of his won-loss record he said. "There
were just too many internal problems.
"I'm certainly not going to miss him and I think
the program will be much better off from here on
out no matter who they get as the next head eoai-h
Although East Carolina Athletic Director Bill
Cain said a search for a new coach would begin
immediately, it was reported assistant coach Terry
Kunze may fill the vacancy.

Irish down ECU 89-72
By CHARLES CHANDLER
Assistant Sports Editor
SOUTH BEND, IndFew onlookers felt East
Carolina's Pirates stood a chance against the
second-ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame when
the two teams took the floor here Saturday night.
Though the Irish went on to win 89-72, most felt
thev had received more than their money's worth.
The Irish came out of the starting block like a
whirlwind, jumping out to a 28-12 lead by the 10:06
mark of the first period. Emotion played a large
part in that quick start, as Irish senior centers Bill
Laimbeer and Bruce Flowers were playing there last
home game at the Athletic and Convocation Center.
But as important a factor in the quick Irish start
was the sloppy play of East Carolina. The Pirates
were beaten in every phase of the game in the
early going by the alert Irish.
But as time wore on the Pirates seemed to
loosen up, cutting the Notre Dame lead to nine, at
45-36, by intermission.
Pirate senior guard Oliver Mack led the Pirate
attack in the first period, scoring 14 points on a
variety of soaring drives to the basket. Irish fans
were so impressed with the play of Mack, in fact,
that on several occasions he received rousing
ovations.
Mack finished the matchup with a game-high 20
points, enough to make him the fourth leading
scorer in East Carolina history with a career total of
1,194 points.
A Notre Dame official said after the game that
the 6'3" All-America candidate was the most
exciting player to play against the Irish at home all
season. "Some of those moves to the basket were
breathtaking he said. He'd cross mid-court, take
two or three long steps, and he was at the basket.
It was amazing.
The Pirates began the second period just as they
had ended the first, outscoring Notre Dame 8-2 to
narrow the Irish lead to only three at 47-44.
It was at this point that the over 31,000 Irish
fans assembled at the ACC became a factor in the
game. Encouraged by a rousing fan reaction, the
Irish outscored the Pirates 24-11 in the ensuing
eight minutes to ensure victory number 22 against
only three losses.
The Notre Dame scoring burst was led by
sophomore forward Tracy Jackson, who scored eight
of those crucial 24 points.
The Pirates cut the Irish lead to as low as 11
before committing uncalled-for errors in the last
minute en route to their 89-72 loss. The Pirates
finished the season at 12-15.
'The key to this game said East Carolina
Coach Larry
rebounding.
Gillman, "was their offensive
"Bruce Flowers and Bill Laimbeer were very
aggressive. They gave us a lot of problems with
their size and strength
Laimbeer and Flowers, a real fan favorite here,
both concluded their home seasons on a high note.
The 6'11" Laimbeer was voted the game's most
valuable player on the basis of his 17 points and 13
rebounds.
"For the last three games I've tried to work on
what I consider the weak points of my game in
preparation for the NCAA tournament said
Laimbeer. I felt that my offensive output and
rebounding contributions were lacking
Flowers totaled 14 points for the game, giving
him exactly 1,000 for his career at Notre Dame. In
his fourth season with the Irish, Flowers has two
more regular season games to increase that total.
Assisting Laimbeer and Flowers in the Irish
victory were Tracy Jackson, starting in place of
injured Ail-American Kelly Tripucka, with 15 points
and Orlando Woolridge with 13 points and 13
rebounds. Guard Bill Hanzlik dished out six assists.
George Maynor followed Mack in the Pirate
scoring column, finishing with a total of 17 points
and four assists. Frank Hobson grabbed II
rebounds to lead the Pirates in that category.
"Larry has recruited some fine athletes said
Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps. "Mack is really
a fine player.
"They have to be commended for not giving up
after our fast start he said. "But when we got
the big lead early we started making some little
mistakes which allowed them to close the gap on
us
Gillman said he feels the Irish have as good a
chance as anyone to win the national championship.
"The key to the NCAA tournament is going to be
on the backboards he said. "Tonight's game is
indicative of how Notre Dame can hit the boards.
And, of course, you have to remember Kelly

Russian giants win 95- 76
By CHARLES CHANDLER
Assistant Sports Editor
GREENSBORO-The
East Carolina Pirates
dropped a 95-76 to the1
powerful Soviet National
Team before a sparce
crowd in the Greesboro
Coliseum Tuesday night.
The exhibition game
came only one day after
the Pirates had ventur-
ed to South Bend, Ind.
to face second-ranked
Notre Dame. ,
It was evident from
the beginning that the
Pirates would have huge
problems underneath
against the Soviet, who
boast of six players
over 6'10
The Soviets jumped
to a 19-16 lead in the
first ten minutes of the
first period. But in a
four minute span the
Pirates outscored the
Russians 12-5 to cut the.
lead to five.
The two teams then
exchanged baskets
? before resting for inter-
mission with the Soviets
leading 47-42.
East Carolina cut the
lead to three at 47-44
before being outscored
23-8 in an eight minute
period by the Soviets.
Leading the Russians
during that spurt was
7'3" center Vladamir
Tkachenko.
Tka chenko, gener-
ally considered the star
of this club, played but
13 minutes against the
t Pirates, scoring 11
points.
After the Soviet
spurt, the Pirates could
only whittle away at the
lead, narrowing it to 11
on several occasions
before bowing 95-76.
Anatoli Mishkin led
the Soviets with 19
points and 7 rebounds.
Nikolai Derugin added
18 points.
Guard George May-
nor and forward Dave
Underwood led the
Pirates with 18 and 16
points, respectively.
Frank Hobson led the
club with five rebounds.
A problem all
evening for the Pirates
was shooting over the
long arms and bodies of
the Soviets. Their 37.3
shooting percentage
from the field is cer-
tainly a spokesman for
that fact.
East Carolina coach
Larry Gillman was quite
impressed with the
Soviets. "They're a
great basketball team
he said. "This was
surely a good exper-
ience for our kids. I
think we learned a lot.
"And Tkachenko is a
real man. He could play
at any university in the
country, maybe even in
the NBA. But he wasn't
really pumped up
tonight. Wlftn he's
. fired up, he's nothing
less than awesome
Soviet coach Alek-
zander Gomelski said
that he was very
impressed with the play
of Pirate guards George
Maynor and Oliver
Mack, citing them for
their "good technique,
good dribbling, and
good shooting He also
?noted that the Pirate
backcourt duo handled
his team's press ex-
tremely well.
"When time
passes said Gomelski,
'they could be very
good and interesting
team. But must have
big player to be good
team. No big player, no
good team
Gomelski said that
his team would now
venture to Canada for a
few weeks before
returning to Russia.
The Pirates finished
their season the night
before with a 89-72 loss
at Notre Dame, finish-
ing at 12-15 for the
year.
?
be formed and someone outside the university will
be named. Wake Forest assistant David Odom, Rice
assistant and former ECU coach Butch Estes were
also mentioned as possible candidates along with
Dick Grubar, a former star at North Carolina and
assistant at the University of Florida.
"I think everybody on the team would like to
see Kunze get the job Krusen said. "He's the
most knowledgeable coach we've had since I've
been here and he knows the players well. We've all
adjusted to his style of pi.iy
"If they go outside the university, the rebuilding
process will start all over again Krusen continued.
"Kunze's got the overall support of the team and
everyone has confidence in him. I think that's the
most important thing right now
Although freshman center Al Tyson said Tuesday
he will transfer to another school next year, he
indicated Gillman's resignation may change things.
"I still think I'm going to transfer he said. "I've
just been real upset about the whole situation
here

East Carolina wrestling coach Bill Hill will resign at
the end ol the season FOUNTAINHEAD learned
Tuesday.
Hill, a 27-year-old native of Norfolk, a
replaced John Welborn in 1977 and has coached the
Pirate wrestling team for the last two years.
Hill said he is leaving the coaching profession so
he can devote full-time duties to his private
business in Greenville. "It's just become impossible
to handle my business and at the same time coach
wrestling here he said. "Coaching is a full time
job and it's very difficult to do both and be
successful.
"I'm resigning in the best interest of the kids,
and I Iim- the university will go out and hire
someone who can devote more time to the wrestling
program. We've got a great bunch of kids here and
they deserve a top notch program
Hill, a four time Southern Conference champion,
is also East Carolina's only wrestling ail-American
He captured fifth place in the 1974 NCAA
Championships held at Iowa State University.
Since Welborn resigned at the end of the
1976-77 season East Carolina has won only four
dual matches in two years and has lost 16. The
Pirates finished with a 3-8 record during Hill's first
year and had a 1-8 mark this season.
The search for a-imer will begin at the end
of the season. East Carolina concludes its schedule
next week when the Pirates compete in the NCAA
Championships at Iowa State University in Aimes,
Iowa.
Several names mentioned as possible candidates
to succeed Hill were William and Mary coach Ed
Steers, Virginia Military Institute coach Ike Sherlock
and Milt Sherman, a graduate assistant, who has
been on the East Carolina staff this season.
Sherlock served as an assistant coach under
Welborn in 1976 and coached at Campbell College
for one year before goitg to VMI.

Revils, Tyson
ready for
NCAA tourney
By SAM ROGERS
Sports Editor
East Carolina wrestling coach Bill Hill had a
premonition before last weekend's Eastern Regional
Championships.
"I told Butch Revils and Mendell Tyson on the
a up there that we had a 177-pounder and a
heavyweight that made it to the nationals last
year Hill said. "And I also told them it would be
great if we could do the same thing again.
Sometimes it's really funny how things work out
Although Vic Northrup and D.T. Joyner won the
177 and heavyweight titles in the regionals last year
both missed this season with injuries. Meanwhile,
Revils and Tyson have been very capable
replacements and last week earned a trip to the
NC A Championships with victories in their
respective weight classes. The tournament opens
next Thursday at Iowa State University in Aimes,
Iowa.
"Butch has a great chance of placing in the
nationals and Em confident he's going to come back
an all- america Hill said Tuesday before practice.
"It's a tough tournament and you can't afford a
letdown in any match, but Butch is peaking andrif
he's mentally ready I think he can place
Hill remembers the 1974 NCAA Campionships
ven well. That year the tournament was also held
al Iowa State and he placed fifth in the 177 weight
- to tarn All-America honors.
Tins year, the top eight place winners in each
weight class will become all-america's. Previously,
the top six in each weight class were designated as
all-america s,
"It's a big tournament and certainly the most
important one I've wrestled in said Revils who
currenlty owns an impressive 17-2 record. "I
wrestled well in the regionals and I'm really looking
forward to the tournament. I've just got to go out
there and wrestle each match one at a time
Revils lost in the finals of the regionals last
year, but upset top-seeded John Stroup of Sippery
Rock to win the 177 title this season.
"I didn't want that to happen again this year
and I was kind of worried about it going into the
finals he said. "But it's just a real honor' to get
the nationals and you have to go out tnere and
make the best of your opportunity. Besides, you
never know when you're going back and I'd like to
make all-america
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the season has
been Tyson, a freshman from Virginia Beach, Va.
He joined the team after football season and now
has an 8-1-1 record.
r receiving bye's in the first two rounds of
the regionals, Tyson pinned his next two opponents
to win the heavyweight championship.
"I'm really surprised Eve gotten this far in my
first year, but Coach Hill told me I could do it if I
worked hard and believed in myself Tyson said.
"1 knew it was going to be tough, but I'm sure the
tionals will be even tougher.
"Em kind of shaky about going out there he
noted. "I'll just have to try and take each match
one step at a time. I'm sure it's going to be a
learning experience for me

ionships in the 200
meter sprint. His finish-
ing time of 20.5 ranked
him as 10th in the U.S.
and 18th in the world.
Melvin requalified
for the Nationals last
year; however, a pulled
hamstring prevented
him from competing in
the event.
The Fayetteville,
native was just as
successful during his
years at Terry Sanford
High School under the
leadership of track
coach Greg Simpson. As
a senior, he was named
athlete of the year and
MVP in the conference.
Melvin also received
all-american status and
was state champion in
the 100 and 200 yard
dashes.
Pirate Track Coach,
Bill Carson, reflected
his thoughts on the
performance of Melvin,
"Otis ran very well for
us at the Nationals two
years ago. He just
missed making the
semifinal cut by a
fraction of a second.
Last year, his injury
slowed him down, but
he's gained strength
and is running some
good times
In addition to run-
ning the 200 meter
sprint, Melvin is also
competing in the 400
meter sprint and one
mile relay this year. His
best time this year in
the 400 meter is 48.9.
He hopes to better that
time during the outdoor
season which begins on
March 24
The one mile relay
team is presently
attempting to qualify for
the Nationals by break-
ing the needed time of
3:14.5, and according to
Melvin, they should be
able to do it. "We just
need to put it all
together. Since this is
the last week to qualify,
we're going to give it
our best effort
