Damage estimated
at 6,000 for bus
By TERRY GRAY
Assistant News Editor
Service personnel at Hastings Ford have notified
university authorities that the repair bill for the student
bus damaged Monday will be at least $6,000, said
Chubby Abshire of the Transit Authority yesterday.
The bus, a 1975 International, hit a tree Monday
when the driver had to turn to avoid a rear-end collision.
Most of the damage to the bus was done to the front
and the front right side, although Abshire added that
the frame had also been bent.
According to Abshire, Hastings Ford does not have
the facilities for a repair job of this size, and the bus will
therefore have to be towed to the manufacturers in High
Controversy
Point, North Carolina. The cost of towing would add
substantially to the overall cost of repair, said Abshire.
An attempt will be made to repair the bus enough so
that it can be driven to High Point under escort.
Officials at the Thomas-Build Bus Company, which
manufactured the bus, have estimated that the value of
the bus before the accident was $17,000. "We have no
choice but to repair the bus. We couldn't sell it in its
present condition, and there is no way we can junk a
$17,000 piece of equipment said Abshire.
Although there are funds in the transit system's
budget intended to pay for repairs, Abshire noted that
these funds are insufficient to pay for such extensive
damage. Since student transit buses carry no collision
insurance, the majority of the money needed to finance
the repairs must come from general SGA funds, he said.
Collision insurance on the SGA buses was
discontinued in previous years as a cost cutting
measure.
An estimated $6,500 dollars worth of damage was done to this SGA transit bus
when it struck a tree on Monday. It is still not certain whether the accident was due
to brake failure, or driver error.

Questions concerning
the funding of the SGA
newsletter have been re-
solved, according to SGA
President Brett Melvin.
The newsletter, which
was released last month,
caused concern when it
was discovered that no
purchase order had been
approved for its publi-
cation. Under normal pro-
cedures, any expenditure
by the SGA must have
prior authorization in the
form of a purchase order.
Thornton
Dr. Jack Thornton, the
SGA's financial advisor,
declined to approve pay-
ment to National Publish-
ing Company for publish-
ing the newsletter because
there was no purchase
order.

Melvin then took the
matter to Dr. Elmer
Meyer, Vice Chancellor for
Student Life, who ap-
proved the requisition to
pay the publishers.
The cost of printing the
newsletter was approxi-
mately $350.
According to Dr.
Meyer, the failure to
obtain the necessary pur-
chase order is a problem
with many campus organi-
zations despite repeated
directives to follow the
established guidelines.
Dr. Thornton com-
mented that he was only
following university policy
when he declined to
approve the requisition.
When asked why no
purchase order had been
approved, Melvin said,
"Every organization has
problems when it starts
new programs. The news-
letter was a new thing for
us, and it takes a while to
get the kinks out of any
procedure
Melvin added that the
publication of future
newsletters will be a
matter for the SGA legis-
lature to decide.
Leonard Fleming, Operations Manager of the transit
system, said that he was not sure if the $6,000-plus
repair bill would interfere with transit plans to add
another bus to its fleet this year.
Fleming said that the damaged bus has been
replaced on its route by a back-up bus, and .hat service
should proceed as usual. However, Fleming said that
the transit system is now operating without another
back-up, and that any serious breakdown that occurs in
the near future may disrupt service. Hastings Ford has
assured the Transit Authority that everything possible
will be done to keep the buses on the road, said
Fleming.
Chubby Abshire added that any students who might
have been injured in the accident must present their
claims as soon as possible, since there are certain time Carolina, on alleged illegal
limits in insurance claims. Army recruiting practices,

Hearing

A hearing to determine
the cause of Monday's bus
accident on Fifth Street
has been set for next
week, said Transit Opera-
tions Manager Leonard
Fleming, Wednesday.
The accident occurred
in front of the Jenkins art
building early Monday
afternoon when bus driver
Mark Folsom had to
swerve into a large tree to
avoid hitting a car.
Eyewitnesses said the car
had stopped in the road to
make a left turn into
Jarvis Street.

Correction
A story printed in the Oct. 16 issue of The East
Carolinian incorrectly stated that Vice Chancellor Meyer
would be looking for a new Intramural and Recreational
Sports director. This is not correct, and we regret the
error.
Also there has been a misconception concerning the
Media Board budgets. All of the budgets were
tentatively approved this summer, but they did not
receive their final approval. Final approval has not yet
been given to any of the Media at this time.
Sen. Robert P. Morgan,
D-N.C, said Tuesday.

The recruiters have
oeen charged with supply-
ing potential recruits with
bootleg copies of entrance
examination and falsi-
fying their records.
Morgan has argued
that high enlistment
quotas encouraged the
malpractice.
A later release re-
vealed that about 60
percent of the young men
enlisted in the Army are
"below-average in intelli-
gence according to the
general in charge of
training them.
Gen. Donn Starry,
head of the Army Training
and Doctrine Command,
told reporters Tuesday
that the lower intelligence
factor has been somewhat
offset by "greater moti-
vation" among those who
join. He said recruits with
below average mentality
are trainable, but that it
takes more time to teach
them certain tasks.

Tuesday's Media Board
Budgets subject at meeting
Board members were trying to settle the final
budgets for the different media at their meeting
By KAREN WENDT
News Editor
Budgeting was again
the major topic of concern
at the Media Board
meeting held on Tuesday.
Assistant Dean of Stu-
dent Life Rudolph Alex-
ander said that he felt
"the individual mediums
ought to be compli-
mented" on how well they
handled the financing
difficulties.
The current budgeting
problem arose when it was
learned that the total
amount of the tentative
budget was approximately
$16,000 over board's allot-
ment.
When informed of the
problem, the heads of the
different media met to try
and solve it without the
intervention of the board.
They decided to base
their budget cuts on a
percentage of the amount
if money each media
?eceives from student fees.
Once they had agreed
on the different amounts
for each, the media heads
looked into their own
budgets to see where the
necessary cuts could be
made.
They then presented to
the board the budget cuts,
which were tentatively
accepted.
Among other business,
the salaries of The East
Carolinian employees were
questioned by board chair-
person Tricia Morris.
SGA president Brett
Melvin also brought up
the earning of advertising
commissions by salaried
employees of the news-
paper.
Melvin said that some
students were "making a
killing off of the student
body of this university
Student Union Presi-
dent Charles Sune pointed
out that the advertising
commission gave employ-
ees added incentive to get
more advertising.
The board decided to
request advertising em-
ployees to come to the
next meeting and explain
the system of commission.
"Everyone should have
the right to face their
accusers Melvin com-
mented.
The hospitality line
item was another topic of
discussion at the meeting.
Clifton Moore, vice
chancellor of business
affairs, feels that state
funds should not be used
for the entertainment of
individuals, cited Vice
Chancellor for Student Life!
Elmer Meyer.
The board adopted this
recommendation as its
policy on hospitality.
Bids for the 1980
Buccaneer will be pre-
sented to the board at the
next meeting.
The Ebony Herald
subcommittee will also
present a report at the
next meeting on Oct. 31.

Thumper, a 200-pound
Saint Bernard, has found
that a dog's life can be
great.
He was chauffeured

Pie incident wrong
There is a time and a place for
everything, but the Homecoming
Parade Saturday morning was neither
the time nor the place for the incident.
which involved the throwing of a pie
into the face of Student Government
Association President Brett Melvm.
This childish display should not be
condoned. Obviously, Melvin was
sitting on the Chancellor's reviewing
stand to enjoy himself, and we defend
the right of anyone to enjoy themselves
in peace and quiet, without having an
immature soul come along and push a
cream pie into one's face.
Legally, hitting someone in the face
with a pie constitutes assault and
battery, which is a felony If the
unidentified person who caused Melvin
this indignity is caught, he could find
himself in a lot of trouble.
Controversy has surrounded Mel-
vin' s name since he has taken office,
and there have been charges of
favoritism and poor service during his
tenure. This newspaper has disagreed
with Melvin on occasion, as any
newspaper is apt to do with a
governmental leader. We maintain
however, that such an absurd, childish
act as a way of disagreeing with
someone, reflects badly on the
university, on the homecoming cele-
bration, and finally on the immature
individual who perpetrated it.
There are better ways to disagree
with people. In the case of Brett
Melvin, you can voice your opinions to
him directly, in his office in the
Mendenhall Student Center. You can
write a letter to the editor. You can
complain to the Vice Chancellor for
Student Life. Throwing a pie into
JACK ANDERSON
someone's face is not a good way to
voice disagreement.
This incident is a reflection of the
kind of society we live in today, where
people are too immature to handle
themselves and their emotions.
The person who threw the pie into
Brett Melvin'sface probably ruined his
day and everyone who is a student at
this university has a right to enjoy
themselves at a student sponsored
activity such as a homecoming parade.
Some of us who are more cruel than
others probably had the audacity to
laugh at the sight of the SGA president
with pie filling all over himself, but it is
a sight that when thought about in
human terms, is a tragic one indeed.
Homecoming is the first step in the
many rites of passage of a senior at this
university. First come the festivities
during the fall, and after this, the year
begins the inevitable winding down
towards graduation. Homecoming, then,
is a big event in everyone's life, and to
have it marred in this way detracts from
the whole spirit of the occasion.
To remember your last I homecoming
in college - to remember that someone
threw a pie at you - is an awful
thought indeed.
Music is one of many examples
of industries controlled by men
By G.C. CARTER
In human terms, then, Melvin
should be offered apolegies from the
person or persons responsible for this
serious incident. Fun is fun, but not
when it comes at the expense of
another. We are sorry that it happened,
and we send along the hope that
whoever did it will grow up real soon,
because this unidentified person has no
business being at college, or anywhere
else if there are adults present.
WFFKT.Y SPECIAL
Carter is back on trail
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON Back in
1924, a little-remembered
Republican president ran
and won on the slogan,
"Keep Cool with Coolidge
Now more than a half-centu-
ry later, a Democratic occu-
pant of the White House is
testing a similar rallying
cry. "Keep Calm with
Carter
Jimmy Carter recently
boasted of his ability to
avoid panicking in a crisis.
He then quickly wrote his
potential presidential rival,
Ted Kennedy, that any allu-
sion to the senator's behav-
ior at Chappaquiddick never
entered his mind. But White
House sources admit that
the backhanded slap . was
intended to remind the vot-
ers of Kennedy's panicky
actions on the night of the
Chappaquiddick drowning
tragedy 10 years ago.
Carter followed up his
image-making ploy with a
show of unflappability in
dealing with the Soviet
troops in Cuba, even though
the issue was of his own
administration's making.
Nonetheless, White House
insiders know that while
their boss may look cool on
the outside, he is often boil-
ing on the inside. They tell
us that behind the smiling
Carter facade, he's inwardly
stewing over the political
polls which show him almost
a certain loser for a second
term. m
The two faces of Jimmy
aren't new to his intimates.
They know that personal set-
backs have always gnawed
at him mentally and psycho-
logically. The Georgian is a
compulsive achiever who
anguishes over any failure
to attain personal goals.
One instance came after
his graduation from the U.S.
Naval Academy. He gained
the finals for selection as a
Rhodes scholar but was
rejected. Friends from that
period recall that he was
badly shaken and upset.
Even worse was the
depression Carter experi-
enced in 1966 when he lost
his first race for the Georgia
governorship. The president
has acknowledged the defeat
caused him to re-evaluate
his life. Several associates
remember that he was
plunged into days of gloomy
introspection. He pulled
himself together and turned
to religion only after a long
talk with his evangelist-
sister, Mrs. Ruth Carter
Stapleton.
Carter is determined to
defy the polls and seek re-
election. Those who know
him well predict he'll fight
for every delegate vote to
the Democratic convention
and every ballot cast in next
year's election if renominat-
ed.
Teddy's Response: Ted
Kennedy is boiling, not at
Carter's oblique Chappa-
quiddick comment, but at
the economic figures his
advisers are bringing him.
The outlook for the economy
is so dire that there's virtu-
ally no doubt in his camp
that he'll challenge the pres
ident directly for the White
House.
The latest report to the
senator showed food prices
skyrocketing at an annual
rate of 21.6 percent at a
time when the Carter
administration is selling
tons of wheat and corn to the
Soviet Union. Consumers are
paying the piper for finished
goods at a rate that is rising
at 16.8 percent.
Energy is costing 81.6 per-
cent more annually. And it
was the cost of heating oil
that drew the most emphatic
response from Kennedy. He
pointed out that refiners are
soaking the users uncons-
cionably and their profit
margin has zoomed up 231
percent since Carter took
office in 1976.
People will freeze to
death because of the exorbi-
tant heating oil price
squeeze this winter, Kenne-
dy grimly told an aide.
His economists have also
told him that half the cur-
rent double-digit inflation
rate can be attributed to
lack of confidence at home
and abroad in Carter's lead-
ership. The high-interest-
rate policy just imposed by
the government is also,
expected to bring heavier
unemployment throughout
the nation and deepen the
recession.
Every economic indicator
brought to his attention
makes it all but certain that
Teddy will run.
Unreliable Information:
There is evidence that Presi-
dent Carter's promise that
there'll be sufficient heating
oil this winter may be based
on misleading information
from his Energy Depart-
ment. The president told his
Cabinet recently "we will
have the necessary fuel to
see us through this winter.
You need not doubt that any
longer . .
But some congressional
experts are less optimistic.
A confidential report pre-
pared for Sen. Max Baucus,
D-Mont is dubious. There's
to obtain the full data to
forecast the supply-and-
demand situation accurate-
ly It stops short of predict-
ing a shortage but points out
that Carter is basing his rosy
premise on unreliable infor-
mation.
Watch on Waste: The fed-
eral government is at long
last giving a hoot about
whistleblowers. When the
Civil Service Commission
was reorganized early this
year, a special counsels off-
ice was established to pro-
tect employees who blow the
whistle on waste and theft of
the taxpayers' money. Until
recently, the office was
understaffed but beginning
this month, funds were pro-
vided to hire 140 staff mem-
bers and set up five new
field offices.
Music is an integral
part of our lives. Every
day we hear music from
many sources ? radio,
TV, our home and car
tape-players, our record
collections, in stores ?
it's everywhere. Whore
does it come from?
The production and
distribution of music in the
last few decades has come
to be referred to as the
music industry. This is an
accurate enough label
because there is a tremen-
dous amount of technology
and business which go into
the output of the "pro-
duct" ? that is, the
music, in marketable form.
Like so many other things
these days, the music
industry affects the major-
ity and is controlled by the
few. Record companies are
often parts of huge con-
glomerates. Their main
concern is to increase their
profits.
This primary interest in
profits is what has caused
the quality of AM radio
music to sink so low; none
of the industry giants are
willing to take a risk with
something new ? a new
sound. The formulas have
been perfected over the
last decade, and that's
what we are hearing now
? slightly varied lyrics
and melodies superim-
posed over the same old
patterns.
Like so many large
industries which affect the
general public, yet are
controlled by a minority,
the music industry is
dominated by men. Not
that all the artists and
musicians are men, but
almost all of them are
managed and influenced
by men.
How did it get to be
complex question to be
sure, one which would of
course require the pro-
verbial "volumes" to be
answered in any detail.
Yet the main issue, really,
is the music.
Where does music
come from?
Research can uncover
some very surprising mu-
sical sources which go
back to the dawn of
history as we know it
today.
Cave paintings and ex-
cavated works of art reveal
that in early primitive
accompanied by women's
music.
In many primitive
tribes today, women's
rituals are still performed
in secret. The men also
have their own rites.
Sometimes men and wo-
men combine their cere-
monies for certain re-
ligious occasions.
' Even in the developing
civilizations, women were
for manv generations ac-
corded the esteem and
honor which was due them
as givers and sustainers of
life. In Sumer, Babylonia,
demands. Men began to
shut the women away
when they reached pu-
berty and in the case of
the Chinese, bound their
feet so that they could not
escape.
There are relatively few
professional women in music
compared to the number of men.
Those women who are
sucessful often have to battle
the stigma of being called
lesbian
no way of knowing whether
there'll be enough heating
oil this winter, the report
warns.
The report contended the
Energy Department failed
There's another show-
and-tell horror story out of
the General Services Admin-
istration which is the pur-
chasing agent for federal
departments and bureaus.
Auditors checked into equip-
ment and supplies bought
and stored by the GSA. They
found the agency had
accepted a dump truck with-
out inspecting it on delivery.
Testing showed that when
the dump section was raised,
it slid off the truck onto the
jround. Inspectors also

societies, many of the
deities were female. The
women, as a general rule,
seemed to have taken the
lead in the development of
religion and ritual and in
making music. Women
were highly revered be-
cause of their ability to
give birth and because of
their talents in agriculture
and artistry. Clues have
been found which indicate
the development of elabor-
ate rituals for various
social functions. These
ceremonies were con-

that civilization began

naturally occurring state of
matriarchy, demanded to

spontaneity and creativity
were stifled generation

absurd notion that women
inherently lack artistic
creativity became a believ-

self-fulfilling death knell

The few great female

formed music written by
men and have rarely

there are relatively few

women who are successful
often have to battle the
stigma of being called
lesbian (a modern term
which is a mistaken
reference to an ancient
Greek artists' and mu-
sicians' colony which in-
cluded both men and
women).
Until they have re-
gained their lost self-
esteem and respect within
society, women will con-
tinue to mime men's
music and function as
artistic puppets.

Series
By GARY MIHOCES
Associated Press Writer
BALTIMORE (AP) -
Dave Parker, whose wob-
bly-legged catch secured a
World Series champion-
ship for the Pittsburgh
Pirates, planted both feet
firmly when he stepped
into the winner's locker
room.
'We are the best
comeback team in baseball

Pirates look
to Chapel Hill
ECU fullback Marvin Cobb celebrates after TD against The Citadel last Saturday
By CHARLES CHANDLER
Sports Editor
Just because the East Carolina football
team does not have a footbajl game this
weekend does not mean the team has a
full week "off As a matter of fact, head
coach Pat Dye says the team will be
plenty busy.
"The first thing we're going to try to
do said Dye, "is improve our schemes.
We will also try to work a lot of young
people. Many of them are getting better,
and we want to give them the opportunity
to do something
But the main thing the Pirates will do
this week, and next week, is prepare for
their upcoming game, on Oct. 27, against
nationally-ranked North Carolina.
If Dye and company are in gear in
Chapel Hill a week from Saturday, the Tar
Heels could have their hands full. The
ECU offense ranks third nationally in
rushing offense with an average of 328
yards per game, sixth in the nation in
total offense with an average of 436.2 and
15th in scoring offense, averaging 29.8
points per contest.
"You have to like our offense said
Dye. "I'd say we've been pretty
successTul so far
Especially successful has been half-
back Anthony Collins. The Penn Yan,
N.Y. junior has gained 589 yards on just
67 carries in the six Pirate games. That
translates to an average of 8.8 yards per
carry, tops in the entire nation among the
top 50 rushers. The nation's leading
rusher, Charles White of Southern
California, ranks fifth in the yards per
carry department. White's 7.4 average is
more than a yard less than Collins' figure.
So Dye has a lot going for him going
into the Carolina game. What would he
and the Pirates have going for them
should they win in Chapel Hill.
"If we won this one noted Dye,
"we'd have to be a suspect to get back
into the bowl picture At the start of the
year, the Pirates were very much in the
"bowl picture" but fell greatly after tnree
straight early-season losses. "I certainly
haven't given up on a bowl the Pirate
mentor said.
The Tar Heels are slated to face N.C.
State in a big Atlantic Coast Conference
confrontation this Saturday and Dye
doesn't especially want to see the boys
from Chapel Hill win. "I thi-k Carolina
will be more difficult for us to beat if they
win this week said Dye. "It never helps
you to lose. A win could only help them
against us. And Lord knows, they don't
need any help. They're good enough
already
So it appears the North Carolina game
will be a crucial one for the Pirates.
Assuming they win the rest of their games
after the Tar Heel contest, a win over the
Heels would leave the Pirates at 8 3. "If
we finish 8-3, and that doesn't mean that
I'm taking our late-season games for
granted, we should be attractive to
somebody (some bowl committee)
After the North Carolina game, the
Pirates will face Appalachian State,
winless Richmond, North Texas State and
William and Mary.
A positive note concerning the North
Carolina game is the return of offensive
tackle Joe Godette. The big senior has
been out for more than a month with a
knee injury.
Defensive tackle Noah Clark is still
ailing and will probably miss the game.
Tyson ineligible until requirements met
The East Carolina basketball team began practice
this week and absent was 6'11" center AI Tyson. The
Winterville sophomore has been declared ineligible by
Pirate coach Davd Odom.
Though Tyson meets NCAA and ECU academic
requirements, he will not be allowed to play until he
gets up to the standards set by the first-year Pirate head
man.
"This year we established certain academic
standards for all our players said Odom, "and the
basketball staff has monitored closely each player's
progress.
"Our progress team-wise has been most responsive
and we are proud of them he continued. "Although Al
has made definite improvement, we feel that he should
spend more of his time working toward meeting the
academic expectations of the basketball program and the
university
Odom went on to say that he felt that Tyson was
better off spending the two hours or so of daily practice
time studying rather than concerning himself with
basketball, at least for now. ?
"We will continue to work closely with Al and when

Odom and the Pirates are about to finish their first

"We will narrow that number some more said
Odom. "We'll keep one, maybe two, of the walk-ons
Other than pa ring the club down, the Pirate
coaching staff will spend the remainder of this week and
next putting in the basic practice drills and working the ?
players hard on conditioning and the fast break attack.

One-time running back
Holley likes 'hitting' and 'contact
Cornerback Willie Holley
By JIMMY DuPREE
Assistant Sports Editor
After having played on the nationally second ranked
Pirate defense of 1978, it would be understandable for a
young returning cornerback to be overly confident or
self-satisfied.
Understandable, but for ECU junior Willie Holley
unforgivable.
Holley came to East Carolina as a running back, but
the Pirate coaches decided during the spring practice
that he was better equipped for the defensive backfield.
"It seemed kind of easy for me said Holley. "I had
to have a lot of help from the coaches, but I really enjoy
playing defense better.
"I like hitting and I like contact. I really enjoy
causing turnovers. I want to make something happen on
defense for us
In Saturday's 49-7 romp over the Citadel, Holley had
one interception and one fumble recovery, which lead to
a Pirate touchdown.
It was no surprise that Holley should choose East
Carolina over many other institutions in the state. With
advice from high school teammates Zack Valentine (now
with the Pittsburg Steelers) and Gerald Hall (volunteer
assistant), Holley was easily sold on the Pirates'
program.
"They told me about the team and the system Coach
Dye had established, and that made my decision pretty
easy Holley said. '
Holley's first taste of combat in the purple and gold
could be considered a gridder's nightmare: the Wolfpack
of N.C. State at Carter Stadium.
"I was kind of nervous he quips, "but after a
while it all seemed so natural. They were just another
team ?
"Willie became a very fine cornerback about the
middle of last season said ECU defensive back coach
Bobby Wallace. "Willie is quiet on the field, but he
leads by his actions. You never see him on the ground
The 1978 'swarm' defense was the pride of East
Carolina University, but this season, the Bucs have
taken their licks from three of the Big Four rivals.
"Last year we had a lot of seniors on defense
explained Holley. "It's kind of hard to replace people
like Zack and Gerald and Fred Chavis (defensive end)
Perhaps the worst beating in recent years came at
the hands of Jay Venuto and the Demon Deacons of
Wake Forest. Venuto, who leads the Atlantic Coast
Conference in total offense, stung ECU for 334 yards in
the air.
who was red-shirted in 1978, Venuto

A senior
connected on
ACC record.
"Most of his passes were to backs coming out of the
backfield said Holley. "We didn't put pressure on the
quarterback like we should have, and we had some
breakdowns in coverage
Wallace agreed with Holley, but added that Holley
"probably graded higher than any other defensive
i
player in the contest.
"Pass defense does not settle down to the secondary
unit said Wallace. "Pass defense depends on 11
people working together and carrying out their
assignments. Willie played well, I'm sure.
"Willie is a good technician. He tackles high and
hard, just the way we want them to. Willie has good
speed, but not great speed. He lias to play smart
football, and that's what he does
Even with his coach's praise, Holley still reserves
doubt that he has met his full potential.
"I've played the last three games hurt says
Holley, displaying a bandaged right shoulder and left
wrist.
"I've got to concentrate more and I like to be able to
get everybody hustling on defense.
"We want to finish up real strong and maybe earn
another shot at a bowl bid
Holley gets to display his running talents as the
Pirates' punt return specialist. Thus far, he has returned
only six kicks for a 6.8 average.
"Willie is the type of player who gives 100 percent
on the field at all times said Wallace. "With another
year of experience, Willie has a chance to play football
after college.
"He's the kind of kid we want in our program. He
has a lot of character and a lot of pride.
"He's just a fine individual

Lawrence success vital to Heels
By DICK BRINSTER
Associated Press Writer
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
(AP) ? The first time
Amos Lawrence touches
the football Saturday a
sellout crowd of nearly
50,000 fans at Carter-
Finley Stadium in Raleigh
will lean forward for a
closer look.
And in homes through-
out the Atlantic Coast
Conference hundreds of
thousands more will zero
in through the magic of
television.
For Famous Amos the
moment of truth may come
early in 19th-ranked North
Carolina's showdown with
arch-rival North Carolina
State. After being limited
to 34 yards rushing in the
Tar Heels' 24-19 upset by
Wake Forest, Lawrence's
contribution is vital against
15th-ranked N.C. State.
Whether or not the Tar
Heels can win with
another subpar perfor-
mance by the nation's
ninth-leading rusher re-
mains to be seen, but
North Carolina Coach Dick
Crum is at least trying to
relieve some of the
pressure.
"Some people figure if
he doesn't get a lot of
yardage he had a bad
day Crum said Tuesday.
"His blocking on pass
protection was done prett)
well
That may be true,
especially when one con-
Pirates win
siders that quarterback
Matt Kupec, who com-
pleted 24 of 41 passes for
267 yards and two touch-
downs, bore the entire
burden of moving the
North Carolina offense.
Should it be necessary to
repeat that feat the Tar
Heels evidently would be
doing so in a catch-up
effort.
"If people are going to
give us the pass we're
going to take it Crum
said. "They - Wake Forest
- not only geared them-
selves to stop Amos, but
they did a pretty good job
on fullback Doug Paschal,
too
That is debatable, how-
ever. And perhaps it is
further evidence that Crum
is trying to maintain a low
profile on the subject of
Lawrence. Paschal gained
a respectable 65 yards on
14 carries against the
Deacons.
What Wake Forest did
was close the inside lanes
with a variety of stunts
and that enabled nose-
guard James Parker to fire
at will into the North
Carolina backfield. Fre-
quently he met Lawrence
before Amos could reach
the line of scrimmage.
N.C. State may not
approach the Lawrence
problem in the same
fashion, however. The
Wolfpack is still recovering
from, injuries to key
defensive people, and
games are not played as
easily with larger, slower
and less-experienced de-
fenders.
Crum will not pretend
he knows how Bo Rein's
Wolfpack will come after
his offense.
"I know anybody can
win the football game,
though he said. That
makes him no smarter at
this point than anyone
else, including the odds-
makersand they have
made his team a one-point
favorite.

What really is wrong with Penn State?
By
HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Sports Writer
The question Joe Pa-
terno has heard most often
this fall is, "What's wrong
with Penn State?"
That's what happens
when you win more than
80 percent of your games
bui start a season by
losing two of your first
three. After beating Rut-
gers, the Nittany Lions
were trounced by Texas
A&M 27-14 and man-
handled by Nebraska 42-
17.
"The only thing wrong
is that we're not a very
good football team Pa-
terno says. "We started
the season with a com-
pletely inexperienced se-
condary and then we had
some injuries there. We
also had an inexperienced
kicking game, inexperience
at quarterback and only
one returning wide re-
ceiver.
"The defensive down
linemen and a couple of
linebackers were the only
thing we had going for us.
Too many people had to
play themselves into being
players
Since that dismal start,
though, Penn State has
defeated Maryland 27-7
and Army 24-3. Nothing
sensational, but possibly
the start of something
good.
"We're getting a little
better each week Pa-
terno says. "We're a
better football team right
now than at any time this
??
year.
Paterno made a key
move two weeks when he
switched Ail-American de-
fensive tackle Bruce Clark
to nose guard alongside
Matt Millen, the Lions'
other star tackle. Op-
ponents can't waste four
Lady Pirate volleyball tourney set
people trying to double-
team both of them.
"It gives people some
blocking problems and it's
made us a better team
says Paterno. The coach
also sheds his customary
low-key attitude where
Clark is concerned.
"Clark is a super
player, and you can
underline that six times
he says. "He's the best
football player, the most
dominant player we've
ever had. We've never
had a player who was so
much better than anyone
else. The only one close
would be Lenny Moore.

The second annual

Volleyball Tournament be-
gins Friday at Minges
Coliseum, and Coach Alita
Dillon states "we have a
stronger field in the
irnament this year than
we had last year
The Lady Pirates cap-
tured the tourney in 1978,
but graduation of several
key players has hindered
the team throughout the
turrent campaign.
All-tournament perfor-
mer Rosie Thompson com-
pleted her eligibility, as
did spiker Becky Beau-

Sharon Perry has es-
tablished herself as the

on defense.
ECU competed in Divi-

but this year shifted to
Division II.
Most of the teams par-
ticipating in the weekend
event will be Division II
teams, including Winthrop
College, Longwood, Ken-
tucky State and North
Carolina Central.
"We built up a strong
early schedule in order to
give us tough competi-
tion said Dillon. "The
team we play this weekend
are weaker than those we
have played thus far, so I
guess we'll see how well
our preparation pays off
The Lady Pirates cap-
tured first place last year
when the tourney was first
held.
"We're just starting to
progress says team cap-
tain LaVonda Duncan.
"We've had a lot of
problems and we've got a
long way to go.
"Overall we're a very
short team and you have
to make up for that
disadvantage. We've had

gins at 4 p.m. Friday, with
the consolation game to be
played at 2 p.m. Saturday
and the championship at 3
p.m.
Syracuse Coach Frank
Maloney, who must find a
way to neutralize Clark,
calls Clark and Millen
"the best two defensive
linemen I've ever seen on
one team. It's ridiculous to
let the Football Writers
Association vote on the
Outland Trophy this year.
Just lock Clark and Millen
in a room and whoever
comes out will be the
winner
Then, Maloney casts a
vote for Clark.
"He's the finest defen-
sive lineman I've seen
since I've been coaching
west Conference cham-
pionship and a berth in
the Cotton Bowl.
"They've still got to
play Arkansas, Southern

ECU NEWS BUREAU
GREENVILLE -
World-famed American pi-
anist Ruth Slenczynska,
former child prodigy who
has matured into one of
the greatest living key-
board artists, will perform
at East Carolina University
Thursday, Oct. 25, in
Wright Auditorium at 8
p.m.
Her ECU visit will also
include a Chopin master
class Tuesday, Oct. 23,
from 1 to 5 p.m also in
Wright. The class is open
to the public.
The Slenczynska per-
formance is sponsored by
Friends of the ECU
Library. Tickets to the
Thursday concert are avail-
able at $3 each from
members of the Friends or

Princess Margaret calls the Irish bike race
'pigs offends Chicago mayor
18 October 1979 THE EAST CAROLINIAN Page 9

By SUSAN J. SMITH
Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) ? Princess Margaret referred to the
Irish as "pigs" during a dinner party conversation with
Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne, who is of Irish descent, a
Chicago Sun-Times columnist reports.
Irv Kupcinet said Tuesday the two women were
sitting at the same table when Mrs. Byrne remarked
that she had attended the funeral of Margaret's cousin,
Lord Louis Mountebatten in London. Mountebatten was
killed last month by a bomb planted by Irish Republican
Army assassins.
'The Irish Princess Margaret was quoted as
saying, "they're pigs
Then, she told the mayor, "Oh, oh, you're Irish
Kupcinet reported. Mrs. Byrne left the party as soon as
possible, he wrote. "She ? the mayor ? was very
incensed Kupcinet said late Tuesday night. "She's
very, very Irish, you know
"I didn't want to cause an international feud said
the columnist. But since the column's publication,
Kupcinet said, he has been overwhelmed with media
inquiries from around the world, including London,
Dublin and Australian newspapers.
"I've gotten 20 calls from the British press alone
he said.
"They are playing it on page one in London
He said a member of Princess Margaret's staff had
called to deny the alleged statement.
"Lord somebody called to say Princess Margaret
denies it and the mayor was cordial when they left.
Well, of course she was he said.
Kupcinet acknowledged he was not at the party, but
said he got the story from someone "who was seated
right next to the mayor He would not reveal the
source's name.
The columnist also said he checked out the story
with someone else who was at the Saturday party, which
was being held in Margaret's honor. The princess is on
an American tour to raise money for London's Royal
Opera House.
Mayor Byrne would not comment on the story to
him, Kupcinet said, but he said his sources told him she
"kept her anger under control
"She left the party early, giving the excuse that the
president Carter was coming on Monday night and she
had to work on that he said.
Princess Margaret could not be reached for
comment.
Michael Sneed, a spokeswoman for the mayor, said
Tuesday night, "I haven't been able to talk to the mayor
about it (the report) yet. I don't think that it was
anything anybody heard. I think it was between the
princess and the mayor

Davis is under a con-

it finished by December,

and advises beginning
writers to be patient and
not get discouraged.
"You can't get bitter

Davis explained that he
has worked "very, very,

his share of bouncing

in Vision Quest, he has
hope for the future and
enjoys life immensely.
Terry Davis may very well
have captured the spirit of

will continue to express it
for all of us who are still
growing up.

German
propeller
BEAUFORT, N.C. (AP)
? The 800-pound propel-
ler from a German sub-
marine that sank in the
Atlantic 37 years ago has
been retrieved by an
amateur skindiver.
Dave Bluett devised a
wheel pulley operated with
air-powered winches to
hoist the propeller from
the U-352 submarine.
The submarine, a pop-
ular site for divers, rests
in 115 feet of water, 32
miles south of Beaufort
Inlet. It sank there May 9,
1942, after being hit by
depth charges from the
U.S. Coast Guard cutter
Icarus.
Bluett, a computer pro-
grammer from Vienna,
VA worked periodically
for more than a year
before removing the prop.
The bronze propeller is
the largest item retrieved
from the submarine. Bluett
has not decided what to do
with it, but expects it will
be shown at a Beaufort
dive shop for a year.
Live ammunition has
been found in the wreck-
age of the submarine, and
the Navy is considering
whether to blow up the
explosives or try to remove
them. A torpedo is jammed
in one of the submarine's
torpedo tubes.

ATLANTA (AP) -
Rosa Parks, whose refusal
to give up a seat on a city
bus started a year-long

About 1,000 spectators

Mrs. Parks is now a

About 1,800 tap dancers

Most of the dancers

Book of World Records.
Others were grandmothers
and professional dancers

was chaos. Organizers had

every child clung to the
hand of the next youngster
? their instincts told them
that getting lost in this
crowd would be disastrous.
Almost every cop gave up
at crowd control.
The event itself was
rather anticlimactic.
Most of the dancers
found a little spot on the
avenue, the Minneapolis
Police Band played "Yan-
kee Doodle Dandy and
the dancers tapped for a
few minutes, maybe three.
Emcee Charlie Boone,
a local radio personality,
then announced they had
set a new world record
and Mayor Al Hofstede
said kind things about a
city that would turn out
1,800 tap dancers to help
dedicate a new arts
building.
