Melvin to revamp
ECU transit system
.jmm-mA? ? ; ?-
One el' the "fleet" of S(,V transit buses. N& hat will
happen to the system?
H Robert M. Swaim
Advertising Manager
SGA President Brett Melvin said in an interview
yesterday thai the SGA Transii system is being
re amped.
Melvin said thai there will be two transit
managers, one to handle administrative work and
another to supervise the operations of tin- buses.
The transit system, according to Melvin, had an
$82,000 budget this year. Melvin cited this as one
ol the reasons for having inn managers.
Melvin said thai the system had become too
large lr one person to handle ail of the
responsibiiil ies.
Melvin has appointed a committee to write an
operations manual for the transit system. The
committee i composed ol both transii managers,
the SGA vice-president, and another student will be
selected at large, and a facultj member will be
added, probabh from the School of Business.

Cross concert short
By Luke Whisnant
Editor
Hundreds of students were disappointed last
Sunday evening when the Mike Cross concert was
cut short due to a problem with the P.A. system.
The system began distorting during Cross' rendition
ol Tear This Building Down first losing the
-tage left speakers and finally giving out altogether.
Cross appeared reluctant to leave the stage,
veiling to his booing audience, "I can't sing loud
enough for everyone to hear me. Fm sorry
"I think it was Mike's 'Bionic Drummer' that
blew out the speakers said one amused member
ol the audience. Cross' Bionic Drummer routine was
a series of slow-motion rimshots accompanied by a
-brill electronic noise in a parodv of TV's Six
Million Dollar Man series.
"I can't believe it said another fan. "This is
just too typical-you go to watch a movie in
Mendenhall, and the film breaks. You go to a
concert, and the sound system explodes
It was not the first time that ECU concerts have
suffered from sound system woes. B.B. King was
plagued by an on-again, off-again P.A. during his
1977 appearance. Several outdoor concerts have
been interrupted when spectators have tripped over
the sound system power lines. And musician
Michael Murphy, booked for February, 1976,
alleged!) cancelled his concert because of inadequa-
cies in the ECU sound system.
According to Charles Sune, Student Union
Chairman, the Cross concert blew out the P.As
high-frequency drivers. "We're repairing them
now Sune said. "It will probably cost a couple of
hundred dollars
The Altec 87-500-8 system was first purchased in
April of 1972 and has been used extensively since
then.
Sune says there is no chance of getting a new
system anytime in the near future. "We simply
can't afford to buy one he said. "The Student
Union budget has gone for eight years with no
increase, and the cost of inflation has increased
every ear
"We have to replace a lot of other equipment
this year Sune continued. Although the Student
Union is probably the one organization on campus
which has the most direct effect on student life,
they only receive $5.25 of the eighty-odd student
activity fee.

VOICES & OPINIONS XjX
2 FOUNTAINHEAD 14 June 1979
Lampoon apologetics
It is very likely that this editorial
will not be taken seriously, since it
appears in the same issue as out
annual Lampoon. (See center insert).
In fact, it is likely that nothing isn
this issue will be taken seriously
except the Lampoon. This fact occured
to us, during the planning of this
special issue, and we decided to go
ahead with the combined issue of
Fountainhead and its not-so-stuffy
sister regardless of credibility prob-
lems. Consider the Lampoon isert as
our summer gift to you ? the faithful
reader.
The Lampoon may also seem
rather cowardly in that light of the
present editor's resignation. It may
look as if the editor is assembling one
last parting shot against ECU'S
administration, politicos, publications,
and faculty and then leaving town as
the irate letters begin pouring in. Be
assured that this is not the case. The
enclosed issue has been planned for
weeks and the present editor's
resignation is in good faith. Only the
timing is suspect.
Some of us desparately hope that
this special issue will be considered
obscene. For anyone willing to take
us to court, please refer to Koppel v.
Levine, Bazarr v. Fortune, or Anton-
elli v. Hammond.
One of our staff members was
asked her opinion of the Lampoon
material as she was setting type
yesterday. "It seems kind of pointless
to me she said. Naturally we would
prefer to think of this slightly
irreverent effort as prodding the
university into action on some
matters, or at least lauding its
inaction in others. Although parody is
the lowest form of humor, it often
points out flaws ain the system we
live by, and naturally the most
idealistic of us hope that this will be
the case with our efforts. Others of
us feel that merely calling attention to
some of the low spots of the past
year with a little low comedy is a
worthwhile exercise. Probably even
more of us simply look forward to the
Lampoon issue as one of the best
things about working at Fountainhead.
And there is a more subtle
purpose in our efforts: if you have
watched the editorial page this
summer, you've noticed the dearth of
letters to the editor. No newspaper
enjoys existing in a vaccum, and we
expect to be rewarded with at least a
few letters for next week.
So please find enclosed the belated
1979 Fountainhead Lampoon ? an-
other sorry, sleezy collection of
character assassinations, immature hu-
mor, absurd photos, and provoking
obscenities ? all protected by the
First Amendment ? for your summer
reading enjoyment.

Fillers: interesting trivia
How many smells
can a dog smell? What
size shoes did Bob
Hope wear? What is
the origin of the dif-
ferent suits represented
on playing cards? When
did Marie Antoinette
marry? Ferdinand Ma-
gellan die?
In case you are
looking for the common
link between these
questions, I'll save you
the trouble. They all
come from fillers, those
tidbits of facts which
dot the pages of larger
newspapers. Running
from one to several
lines, the items are
used to fill awkward
gaps in a page of a
newspaper, hence the
term filler. (Comedian
Bob Hope wears size 13
shoes.)
I suppose that there
are folks out there who
make their living with
1,2,6 or 7-line fillers,
digging though old
newspapers, almanacs
and research sources to
bring us these essential
bits of data (The first
U.S. air mail was flown
from Washington to
New York in 1918.)

Although fillers are
based, I suppose, on
the theory that a small
fact is better than an
empty sapce, some fil-
lers are actually mini-
news stories, often with
implications that the
filler just does not have
time nor room to con-
sider. (When a truck
loaded with champagne
and wine crashed near
Sydnwy, Australia re-
cently, dogs came from
miles around to lap up
the liquor flowing
through the streets,
says driver Colin Ben-
nett.)
How in the world do
you figure that dogs
from miles around even
knew that there was
champagne in the road?
(While humans can sit-
inguish only a few
thousand odors, odgs
can osrt out as many as
half a million, according
to the National Geogra-
phic Society.)
At times, fillers act
as little probes, spark-
ing off a memory or
response for an indi-
vidual or cause which
has somehow slipped
back a bit in the mind.
(Singer Pete Seeger was
blacklisted from U.S.
network television for 17
years because of his
political beliefs.)
In touch with the
times, though perhaps
buried among the ads,
fillers also offer back-
ground information on
events of the day, such
as Sen. S.I. Hayakawa's
recent comments that
gas should be raised to
a couple of dollars a
gallon, which the poor
couldn't afford. But
that's alright, according
to Hayakawa: the poor
don't work, so why do
they need to drive?
(Marie Antoinette mar-
ried Louis XVI, then
Dauphin of France, in
1770.)
Mostly, though, the
filler offers the briefest
in moments of digres-
sion. (The greatest pop-
ulation growth in the
United Stated came be-
tween 1880 and 1920.
More than 21 million
Europeans entered the
country during that
time.) Fillers sometimes
appear in pairs, when
the layout has large
gaps to fill. If the
fillers are on the same
topic, it amounts to a
veritable wealth of
facts. (By 1910, there
were twice as many Ir-
ish in New York City as
in Dublin and more
Italians ther than in
Naples, according to the
National Geographic So-
ciety.)
Some fillers carry
information for a life-
time of use. (The four
suits in playing cards
originally represented
four classes: hearts
were the clergy; spades
the military; diamonds
the merchants, and
clubs the peasantry.)
Other fillers will give
you useful trivia ammo.
(Ferdinand Magellan,
the Portuguese naviga-
tor, was killed in 1521
by natives in the Phil-
ippines.)
Fillers are no big
deal. They are, well,
fillers. But they do offer
some interesting diver-
sion in the day's read-
ing, and some of them
will stay with you. And
also remember that the
newspaper finds them
quite handy for filling
in empty spaces. (Hol-
land is famous for
tulips ? but, according
to annual sales figures,
the nastion's top blooms
are roses, followed by
freesias. Tulipos are in
third place.)

Still want to see a UFO?
B David Armstrong
Special to Fountainhead
I used to think I
wanted to see a UFO,
- aiaybe even greet one.
ou know, exchange
Cosmic homilies with the
crew, find out where
they're from and casu-
ally inquire what they're
doing in the neighbor-
hood. But now, with
reports of long-term
personality changes and
bizarre religious cults
surrounding UFO sight-
ings, I'm not so eager
to follow Richard Drey-
fuss aboard the Mothe
Ship.
Jacques Valiee's new
book, Messengers of
Deception: LFO Con-
tacts and Cults (And
Or Press), does nothing
to dispell my unease.
And if anyone if quali-
fied to hold forth on
unidentified flying ob-
jects, it is Vallee. He is
the author of six books
on UFOs and was the
model for the "La-
combe" character
played by Francois Tru-
ffaut in Close Encoun-
ters of the Third Kind.
A French-born astro-
physicist and computer
scientist, Vallee has
been studying those
strange lights in the sky
most of his adult life.
After 18 years on the
job, he is no longer
primarily concerned
with where UFOs come
from, but with their
effects on society, ef-
fects he is increasingly
coming to fear.
UFOs, says Vallee,
are real. But they're
not from outer space.
There have been too
many seemingly reliable
sightings -fijfc thai, and
the nearest stars with
planets similar to our
own are just too far
away for an easy com-
mute.
Valiee's novel sug-
gestion is that UFOs
originate just down the
block, concocted by
earthlings who use them
as fantastic instruments
of social control. If his
modest proposal is no
easier to verify than the
outer space theory, it is
at least as entertaining.
Vallee is a good
storyteller. Sandwiched
between the theoretical
sections that open and
close Messengers of
Deception are accounts
of what Vallee aptly
calls "high strange-
ness" ? his own close
encounters with UFO
"contactees" and cult-
ists who populate a
planetary underground
of true believers.
There's the tall
blond stranger of the
Pyrennes who initiates a
hotel manager into the
higher mysteries and
always pays his debts
with gold. The octagen-
arian celibates in the
California hills who
crank out books and
pamphlets to keep alive
The Word of a world ol
religion inspired by wise
space travelers. The
mysterious "Major
Murphy a retired U.S.
intelligence officer who
acts as Valiee's Deep
Throat, proferring in-
sights and hot tips.
Do these people ac-
tually exist? I don't
know. Vallee says they
do and they're fascin-
ating gallery of char-
acters. They are not, by
and large, nice guys.
V allee has isolated
the philosophical under-
pinnings of what we
may call UFOlosophy,
and they're disturbingly
similar to those of
certain Aryan mystics
who proposed their own
new world order some
40 years ago. Belief in
a master race and
higher intelligence are
fundamental, as is the
rejection of science and
rational thought for bot-
tomless faith in charis-
matic deliverers. Read-
ing this book, you get
the feeling that this
stairway to heaven mav
be just anoter road to
Jonestown.
If the UFO phenom-
enon is only an act for
public consumption, it's
a good one. Who is
behind this psychic
sleight-of-hand and " how
do they do it?
"Several human
groups could be man-
ipulating the public's
interest in UFOs" Val-
lee writes. "They could
try to achieve this by
deliberate use of confu-
sion techniques, b
planting fake UFO evi
dence, by amplifying
contactee mythologv.
and b) systematical!)

While such tales sound made up or rare at best
Petersen swears that they are all real. "I made up
a question one month that I thought needed to be
asked he said. "But later that month a letter

Petersen. Last summer in an attempt to gain
publicity, he arid Playboy sent out a press release
to several news outlets sayding that he was sick of
his job and thinking of quitting.
"Finally some guy from the Associated Press
came out and asked me if I was really quitting
Peterson said. I - said, 'That's news to me. But
sometimes they have a funny way of telling people
these things around here
With the reporter in need of a story to show his
editor, Petersen went on to talk about how he
thought jogging was replacing sex as an American
pasttime.
"Everybody's out there running a TV-minute
mile Petersen moaned. "My girlfriend does it.
She does II) miles a day. And while she's done it,
I've gone six weeks without sex. You don't feel like

His story was picked up by dozens of
newspapers around the country, but today he still
says his motive for publicity ? the thought of
quilling at the age of 30 ? was valid.
I've thought about quitting ever since my first
year here he said. "I'd rather be a rock V roil

Ihe train, an invention so important to the
development of the West, is generally presented in

Photography and the West, "Photography and the

Photography moved from the studio to the field,
and the West emerged as a vast, rich resource for
scientific and scenic exploration
"Both offered a new frontier to master, and
each exerted an immense magnetism on the
war weary American mind. For the scientist the
est presented a vast laboratory where new data
could be gathered and old questions, superficially
formulated, answered; to the photographer the West
loomed as a great visual unknown.
"Together the scientist and the photographer
shared the pioneer experience, and for the first time
in history the exploration and discovery of a new
land were witnessed and . recorded with the
camera
This collection of photographs of the West is
unique, for it has been selected from the viewpoint
of William R. Current, who is himself a
photographer and artist. This book was conceived

A Childhood, The Grab are new books
By Renee Dixon
Staff Reporter
On an afternoon in
1956. Harry Crews
made a discovery that
triggered the writing of
his autobiography. Fresh
out of the Marines,
Crews was hungry to
know about the man
who fathered him and
died not long after.
Crew Uncle Alton took
him to porches and
stores in Bacon County,
Georgia to hear men
tell stories about his
father, men who knew
his father with the
intimacy reserved for
those who are born,
grow up, live and work
in the same stretch of
land, men who were of
a place that identified
them, and a land that
sustained them.
Crews realized at
that time that he'd lost
the opportunity to ex-
perience that special
intimacy, and that he
was of that Georgia
county only because it
was the place he came
from, a place in his
memory. Crews says it
was then that he knew.
"I would someday have
to write about it all,
but not in the conven-
ient and comfortable
metaphors of fiction
only the use of I, lovely
the terrifying word,
would get me to the
place I needed to go
A Childhood is the
biography of that place.
Crews tells his story
with the simplicity and
credibility of any of the
storytellers who talked
about his father on that
afternoon in 1956.
Sometimes people call it
talent, a natural rhythm
that people who grow
up with storytellers just
absorb. But Crews
illustrates an equal
amount of skill in his
control of that un-
affected voice and his
selection of incidents
included in the book.
Growing up the son of
a Georgia sharecropper
meant hardship even if
times were good. But
Crews had a little
larger slice of hard luck
than the average. When
he was five, he battled
a disease or fever that
left his heels drawn up
tightly to his buttocks,
his legs useless and
painful. Not long after
recovering the use of
his legs, Crews was
flung into a pot of
boiling water while
Hellman releases Scoundrel Time
By Dawne E. Bost
Staff Reporter
Lillian Hellman's book Seoundrel Time is not a
new release; the copyright dates 1976, but it is a
book that has gone virtually undiscovered by the
maes ot students trodding around the average
university campus today. This w unfortunate since
Scoundrel Time is of value not only to those of us
who have run eagerly through the pages of her
earlier booksAn Unfinished Woman and
Pentimento (from which the story for the motion
picture, Julia, was taken), but also to anyone who
i- concerned with truth and feeling.
Scoundrel Time is Lillian Hellman's personal
account of the hysterical era in America's history in
which the House Committee on Un-American
Activities (which boasted among its members a
voung Richard Nixon), and the panel led by Senator
Joseph McCarthy were allowed to search out and
persecute Americans on the basis of presumed
communist activities. Hellman writes almost
exclusively of the repercussions felt only by herself
and friends in the world of the arts, thus creating
what she labels as "my own history of the time
In the introduction by Garry Wills, we are told
just what time it was. Wills presents the factors
leading up to the ultimate "witch-hunt" beginning
with the formation of the HUAC in 1938 (ten years
before what is generally known as McCarthyism
swept the country). He offers an explanation that
differs from Lillian Hellman's conclusion about how
such a period could pass through our lives. Hellman
explains the purge as an attempt at political
opportunism by . . cheap baddies who, hearing a
few bars of popular notes made them into an opera
of public disorder, staged and sung, as much of the
congressional record shows, in the wards of an
insane asylum
Wills believes Hellman's "moral world" of
"personal loves and hates" cannot let her recognize
what he sees as the sincere general hatred of the
"Redhunters" which allowed them to have
"considered themselves saviors of the country from
a diabolical plot
Which explanation may be correct is debatable,
the actuality of a fanatical anti-communist
bandwagon and the trouble it caused is what Lillian
Hellman quickly creates as her focal point. In 1951
the "bandwagon" made a pronounced run through
her life when in June ot that year writer Dashiell
Hammet, Hellman's companion for many years, was
sent to jail for withholding information wanted by
the government.
A year later Lillian Hellman was supoenaed by
the House Committee on Un-American Activities, a
move which placed her under the threat of jail
unless she complied to their wishes, which was of
course impossible. The HUAC wanted names,
information would incriminate people other than
herself. In the first few pages of Scoundrel Time
one comes to know Lillian Hellman as a woman of
an integrity that would not allow her to "aid" in
the persecution of people she believed had simply
exercised their right to free thought and expression.
Throughout the book one feels not a sense of
anger but of disappointment. The story is told by a
woman who lost many of the things most dear to
her, both mentally and spiritually, from her
determination not to "cut my conscience to fit this
year's fashions But the tone is not bitter; simply
resigned to the reality of her experiences.
This is no historical account of the McCarthy
years and their consequences. Rather, it is a study
of humanity in a time of great confusion told with
style by a remarkable woman.

by Gershwin in 1925.
One year after his
tremendously successful
"Rhapsody in Blue"
(written when the com-
poser was only 26 years
old), the "piano Con-
certo in F" was com-
missioned to be written
for Walter Damrosch
and the New York
Symphony Society. At
the premier on De-
cember 3, 1925, Gersh-
win played the piano
solo, which Jeffrey
Swann will perform at
Spoleto. Reactions were
mixed, as some critics
found the work too
reminiscent of Dubussy.
But, like so many
other Gershwin works,
the Piano Concerto grew
in popularity and is now
considered a major
twentieth century piece.

a few of the beautiful
and or funny tales he
includes in the book.
Crews ends A
Childhood with the
acknowledgement that
he has left that way of
life. He no longer
depends on that land
for his livelihood. But A
Childhood is still the
biography of a place,
even if it is only the
place in Harry Crew's
mind and memory that
he can never lose or
leave completely behind.
The Grab
The Grab is a
Luskin family tradition.
Maria Katzenbach's first
novel is about three
daughters who gather at
their mother's home
after her death to
divide the possessions
that remain after the
few provisions of the
will. Using the room
inventories as a guide,
the daughters explore
the house, rediscovering
the past and re-eval-
uating their present
lives.
Barbara, the oldest,

By A. Choma
Staff Writer
Psychiatry, the study of the mental
s of social intercourse, has delivered down
?ooks attempting to explain the sources of
interplay. The books range
from the nihilistic
The Greening of America to the condesending Your
Erroneous Zones. The prototype, if not the best of
these works is (iames People Play by Eric Berne.
Berne's introduction of a new, simpler vocabulary-
tor contemporary social dynamics was an intellecutal
fad item of the Sixties. The major intrigue in the
work lav in the use of popular examples and easily
discernible symbols.
It is to this form that most works of this genre
ascribe. The validity of Games is directly related to
the observational, rather than the experimental
ghl of the author. The books are theories,
rendered to generalization and made palpable.
In theory and dialogue Games is perhaps the most
complex but that complexity of structure belies a
weak premise. 1 do not find Games to be incisively
accurate.
There are games in the various strata of culture.
The games are plaved in various social situations
deputing arguements, conversations reflecting frus-
tration and violent gestures. The resultant social
reaction and the parts of the structure (the people
and situation) are labeled and the entire scenerio is
titled a game the likes of: "See What You Made
Me Do" "Blemish" "Look How Hasrd I've Tried"
"Let's You and Him Fight the latter being a
sexual game.
Berne lowers the principles to their common
denominator and explains the dynamics in terms of
"mutual satisfaction quotients" measured in
"strokes The games become more complex as the

Festival in the pro-

and as a soloist in the
"Glagolitic Mass" at
the Janacek Celebration.
She has also sung with
the Metropolitan Opera,
the New York City
Opera and major opera

A member of the
New York City Opera,
Benjamin Matthews has
performed roles ranging
from Mephistopheles in
Gounod's "Faust" to
Porgy in "Porgy and

soloist with numerous
orchestras including the
New York Philharmonic
Chicago Symphony, and
Detroit Symphony.
Gershwin completed
"Porgy and Bess" in
1935, in collaboration
with DuBose Heyward
and Ira Gershwin. The
opera was first per-
formed in Boston on
September 30, 1935.
Since then, "Porgey
and Bess" has been
performed throughout
the world, including an
acclaimed production
during Charleston's Tri-
centennial in 1970. The
opera was beased on
the play "Porgy" by
Dorothy and DuBose
Heyward. Gershwin
Came to Charleston
during the summer of
1934 to learn more
about the setting and
the music of the Gullah
Negroes. He wrote
much of the opera that
summer.
The initial reaction,
to "Porgy and Bess"
was mized, and it was
not until two vears later
? 11937 - that the
opera was properly
honored with awards
and subsequent revivals
which achieved both
praise and popularity.
1937 was also the year
of the composer's
death, at the age of 39.

issues and the intelligence of the participants
become more expansive. It is to be accepted that
the more intelligent the mind the more complex the
game but that is an elitist philosophy that ignores
motive. The premise of this work, the watermark by
which it must be adjudged is a diluted extention of
the "you give what you get" axiom.
The strength of this book is the accuracy of the
observations taken within the context of his theory.
If one looks for games, they seem apparent and the
outcomes almost mathematical. It is there because
one sees it however, it is not inherent.
Where motive is recognized it is a gesture ol
weakness, a move made out of need. Berne views
man as a vulnerable creature in a matrix that
personality has created. He personalizes his case
examples to the point of humor, but does not allow
them dignity.
The game "look How Hard I've Tried"
epitomizes the shallow applications of Berne's
theories. It is played on the levels of false attmpts
at reconcilliation, working until collapse or suicide.
These translate into efforts to receive attention in a
pattern of martyrism. These games vary in intensity
but all preclude man as a victim of his own
frustration. This preclusion initiates the game motiff
as false behavior garnering a desirable "surface"
reaction (the attention).
The theory fits the three pre-supposed structures
but they, and the book tell nothing about the
situation athat could not be discerned. The book
merely explains the interplay in the context of
Berne's vocabulary. It is a semantic rehashing of
surface observations.
Games is a well-referenced, intelligently crafted
work explaining a shortsighted theory of social
dynamicsIt is an ornate frame around a painting
empty of light. It says more about the mind and
emphasis of the author, that about humanity.

season's rugbv
match
Ruff, tuff 6n ready
for rugby
Intramural action in review
Bv Allen McDavid
Staff Writer
& ith the coming ol
Fall, most sports fans
turn their interests
toward football. But for
the 41 members ol East
Carolina's Rugbv Club
team, football is not the
only sport around.
Interest in rugby at
ECU is growing, but
due to the relatively
little exposure it has
received, there have
been disappoionting
spectator turnouts.
Since rugbv at ECU
is a club sport, much of
the money it takes to
support the team comes
from the players' own
por?ketsL. however, they
do receive $1,000 from
the school. Even with
the financial burden,
the team managed to
plav some games in the
Bahamas and Miami
over Spring break.
The team plays its
home games behind the
Allied Health building.
Opponents come mainly
from North Carolina,
but there are several
teams from outside the
state included on the
schedule.
North Carolina has
16 club teams at
present; some city clubs
and some college clubs.
Most of the major
colleges in North Caro-
lina have teams but
onlv tour are composed
entire!) ol students:
ECl , I NC-Greensboro,
Belmont Abbe) , and
Davidson.
According to ECU
club member George
Baity, "Of these four
teams, ECU is bv far
the best
Thev are a good
team, good enough in
tact, to walk way with
the tropohy lor the best
club team on campus
last year.
Rugbv is somewhat
similar to football. In a
game there are 30
mean on the field at
the same time, which
produces quite a bit of
action (there are varia-
tions, such as 7 men
teams). The game is
divided into two 40-
minute halves with a
short hall time.
As far as protection
is concerned, the play-
ers literally have none.
This causes most people
to regard rugby as an
extremely dangerous
pastime; however, club
members say that the
majority of injuries are
minor.
ECU's rugby team is
now preparing for their
fall season and hope-
fully with stronger sup
port from the students,
it should be another
successful year.

The one element
which will damage
Houston's hopes for a

any other is the lack of
a proven power hitter.
