"And we'll be concentrating on issues that directly affect students Both the AS! and ASA are recently formed splinter groups of the old National Student Associa- tion, now the United States Student Association. "We broke away because we wanted to deal with educational goals only says Gary Davidson of ASF. Davidson and Duffy both maintain that the USSA is not adequately representing students and has taken divisive stands on non-education political issues. Duffy says the new ASA is aiming for a base membership o 1.000 and predicts that membership will be at 600 by this summer's convention. ASA membership requires a vote lor affiliation by a student govern- ment and a $50 two-year member- ship fee. I he organization also raises funds by soliciting govern- ment, foundation and corporation donations and through commercial ventures such as a film-video rental program. I he goals ol the new group, savs Duffy, will be to �'try to have an im- pact on higher education pohev from a student's point ot view" and to provide member schools with practical information and services. rhe success of the group, adds Davidson, will depend on its ability to build a communication network between the national headquarters and member campuses so we can mobilize students and student governments at appropriate times � that's an elementary rule of pressure politics A CSS A spokesman says the new Look Who Came To Dinner Do birds have a cannabalistic streak?

BUC Still Available When the 1979 Bucanneer budget was being planned. Editor Craig Sahli wanted to make sure that everyone who wanted a copy would be able to get one. Although the normal press runs for prev ious vear- books numbered about 5,OCX), he asked for funds to print 7,000. When the 1979 edition arrived on campus, about 5,000 of them were picked up in two weeks. But Sahli still has 700 copies on hand. "The problem is that about 2,500 seniors graduated and a lot of them left town. When the book came out in September, they just weren't around to pick them up, or they forgot about it said Sahli. The Bucanneer staff tried to remedy 'hat problem last week by sending out letters to 2,000 seniors who did not receive their yearbooks. Since then, over 100 former students have come by to get the book. Sahli believes that many of these graduates live in Greenville, and that others who live out of town will get their books when they visit Greenville again. Students lined up when the Buccaneer first came out. but editor Craig Sahli is still trying to distribute the 7(H) copies left on hand this vear. The Bucanneer is paid for from student funds that go to the media board. Theoretically, every student may get one. but experience has shown that demand for them does not exceed five to six thousand. The 1979 edition of the yearbook was the first to be produced at ECl since 1976. In that year, the highest number of copies ever, 7,500. was printed. According to Sahli, 1,300 of those books have not been distributed. Of all the students at ECU, Sahli said that seniors should get prioiity in getting a yearbook. "But freshmen and sophomores pay just as much for them as seniors, so the only way 1 know to do it is on a first-come, said. first-serve basis he Students who have not gotten a copy of the yearbook may pick one up in the office of the Bucanneer. located in the publications building across from Joyner Librarv. said Sahli.

Herminal is the name jokingly given to a computer terminal in Joyner Library that is hooked up to a vast listing of research sources in dozens of topic areas. For a fee that usually ranges bet- ween five and eight dollars, reference librarian Ralph Scott will punch in a com- mand for the central computer, located in California, to give you a print-out of sources in your particular research area. Since there are hun- dreds of thousands of sources in the com- puter, the research topics may be fairly specific.

STUDENTS ARE WILLING TO HELP each other, a group of New York U. sociology students learned. The students were assigned to survey their colleaeues in other classes to see how many were willing to share notes and other information about a "missed" class. Seventy percent were willing to share notes, they found, while 72 per- cent supplied information on a missing assign- ment. Only 3 percent incorrectly said no assign- ment had been given during the missed class ses- sion. USE OF DRUGS other than marijuana is not as popular with voung people as some might think, according to a national survey by U. of Michigan researchers. Over three-fourths of the high school seniors questioned disapproved of experimenting with all drugs other than marijuana, and over 90 percent were against regular use of such drugs. Nearly 70 percent disapproved of regular mari- juana use, and 34 percent didn't even favor ex- perimenting with pot. ENROLL MENT at state universities rose 1.9 per- cent in the fall of 1979, according to the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.

However, the research topics are limited to certain fields of study. Most of the 90 data bases in the computer are in the areas of science, applied science and technology, humanities, social sciences, business and economics. Eight of the data bases provide sources in chemistry, physics, biology and a number of specialized areas such as meteorology. Thirteen data bases deal with business and economics, including national and interna- tional statistics and a market abstracting ser- vice. An engineering index supplies sources in eighteen specialized areas, and eleven other data bases cover the fields of education, psychology, sociology, public administration, art and history. "The key to suc- cessful computer sear- ches is settling on a topic that's not too broad, but not too limited said Scott. Ralph Scott sits before "Herminal the com- puter terminal that aids students in finding research sources. He explained that part of his role is to help the student find the right question to ask Her- minal. "If you asked it to give you a print-out on psychology, for in- stance, it would cost a fortune and you'd be here for hours Scott explained that the sear- ches are billed accor- ding to the time the computer uses. The rates range between $45 and $70 per computer- hour, depending on the data base, but most searches only take a few minutes. It also costs eight to twenty cents for each print-out page that is used, he said. Scott finds a way to narrow down the sub- ject matter to an affor- dable level, while still providing the sources the student needs. And if it turns out that the search is running longer than expected, he can always stop it. If you would do a computer search on a topic, you should go to the reference desk in Jovner Library.

The story begins with Peacock, 21, deciding to build a computerized slot machine as a senior project. Peacock, a 1980 engineering graduate, got an "A" and an award from the local chapter of the In- stitute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers for his work. But on the night of Ma 12. Peacock went to pick up his $25 prize and show his slot machine to the club at the S&W Cafeteria on Park Road. First he stopped for a 10-minute visit with his girlfriend, Maureen Boler, in the Middle Plantation Apartments on Eastcrest Drive off Central Avenue. When he stepped back out, two police cars had him blocked in and a policeman was peering in his car win- dow. Mike Maxwell, an off-duty police dispat- cher, had spotted the machine and called the police. It's illegal in North Carolina to transport, own, possess, store, keep, rent, lease, give away or permit the operation of a slot machine. "It's illegal to do anything but think about a slot machine said Mike Allen, Peacock's engineering professor. "And the only reason that's not illegal is that they can't prove it The misdemeanor charge carries a minimum fine of $200 and at least 30 days in jail. Just sliding a quarter into a slot machine can draw a minimum fine of $10. Officer J.A. Smallridge took Peacock to the magistrate at the Mecklenburg County Jail and confiscated the slot machine and $7.25 in quarters used for demonstration pur- poses. Meanwhile, at the dinner meeting, club members were beginn- ing to wonder where Peacock was. Then an anxious cafeteria employee rushed in to say Peacock was on the phone and would talk to anyone. Allen went to the phone. "I asked 'What's up? Allen said. "And he said, 'I am � for 2-20 years Peacock, who starts next week as a junior engineer for Duke Power, said at first he thought the whole to- do over the harmless machine was funny. Up until they set the court date he said. "Then it wasn't funny With the help of UNCC officials, though, the case was dismissed May 28, without Peacock's hav- ing to go to court. And, with a letter certifying the machine was a class project, Peacock pick- ed it up June 7. The machine is now on display in Peacock's room in his home in Denton. Incoming Freshmen Visit Susan Mary Anne We�tt� � special wt� ratios the ntmin Hundreds of incom- ing freshmen have visited the ECU cam- pus in the last few weeks, preparing tor their first semester of college through the an- nual orientation ses- sions. Three sessions have alreach been held this summer, with three more scheduled. Accor- ding to JankN Mallory, dean of men, more than 3.000 high school graduates and transfer students will take part in the orientation ac- tivities. The sessions begin on Sunday and end on Tuesday. The students take a battery of place- ment tests in math, foreign language, English, chemistry, music or home economics. They also receive a minimal amount of career counseling and are in- troduced to residence- hall life. The sessions are not mandatory, but Dean Maliory said the university encourages participation. "The orientation program benefits the students and the university by allowing them to pre-register before the fall semester begins said Mallory. "It's tough for them to get the schedule they want without it Fourteen ECU seniors and graduate students work as guides to the orientation classes. The guides also spend the night with the new students in the residence halls. Male students stay in Aycock dormitory, and the females stav in Tvler. According to Mallory, the guides are a key part of the pro- gram because the in- coming students feel they can talk freely with them about cam- pus life.

New Educational Assistance Plan Begins In 1980 Continued from page 2 imum amount a partici- pant could receive per month for typical benefits is $225 For those who enter certain areas of the ser- vice, such as artillery or infantry, the Depart- ment of Defense will contribute an extra SI,000 to $3,000 to the total amount of money the participant can receive. Therefore, the monthly amount cer- tain participants receive may exceed $225. According to the Veterans Administra- tion, some students have assumed that when they fill out their Basic Grant applica- tions, they are suppos- ed to report these benefits under question 40. But onlyGI Bill and veterans or dependents educational assistance benefits are supposed to be reported under question 40.

Student Calls For Letters, Criticism Your call for more participation by the student body and staff in "letters to the editor" (June 12 edition) was well- timed. The editorial page offers the op- portunity to present views and opinions in an uncensored forum, and I, like many others, have been negligent. The vehicle to convey our ideas and criticisms is available; 1 intend to par- ticipate more often and to encourage my friends to do so. I would also like to commend the editorial staff for their fair and even- tempered presentation of differing views. MARK H. HENNING Sophomore, History Department Students Need Books, Too In the past year, 1 have encountered several instances in which 1 was not able to obtain a book from Joyner Library because the book in question was signed out to a faculty member. In each in- stance, the librarian told me that they could place a call on the book in ques- tion, notifying the faculty member that someone else needed the book. So far, their efforts have been unsuc- cessful. I can understand that faculty members often need access to a book for longer than the standard check-out period. However, 1 cannot understand why the library can't establish some system of recall which would make these books accessible to the student body. The last time I tried having a book called in from a faculty member, I told the librarian that I had not been suc- cessful in the past with other books. She agreed that it was a problem but added that it was the only thing they could do. Somehow, this is beginning to seem like just another instance in which students' needs are on the bottom of the list at ECU. Let me emphasize that this is not a criticism of the library or the library staff. 1 have found them to be excep- tionally helpful and cooperative. However, the faculty book loan system simply isn't fair to students. Cant something be done to change it? LINDA J.ALLRED Graduate Student Psychology Department Forum Rules The East Carolinian welcomes letters expressing all points of view.

Ignoring First Amendment Rights Authorities Need History Lessons ECU Students Second, Again By DAVID ARMSTRONG In the journalism of legend, freedom of the press is secured by crusty editors at great metropolitan newspapers who go up against the forces of evil and succeed, by sheer force of will, in preserving the peo- ple's right to know. Sometimes, something like that actually happens, as when the New York Times published the Pentagon Papers and the Washington Post pried loose the lid on Watergate. More often than not, however, it is small, little-known media that serve in the front lines of press freedom battles. Last year, The Progressive became the first victim of judicial prior restraint in American history when the magazine was prevented, for several months, from publishing publicly available information on the hydrogen bomb. Two years ago, a college newspaper, the Stanford Daily, fought and lost an important case before the Supreme Court when the Burger brethren ruled that police may search a newsroom if they believe a media outlet i infdrtffatto'h that can rfeTp authorities solve a crime. Now, another small publication, the monthly Flint (Michigan) Voice, is on the firing line. On May 15, the Voice's printer was forced to surrender files containing in- formation about the paper to local police, who arrived at the printer's office with a search warrant. Flint police claim, a la the Stanford decision, that they needed the files to look for evidence of a crime; the Voice counters that the seizure of its files violated the paper's right to publish freely. The result is a legal clash that, whatever the outcome, reaches far beyond the city limits of Flint. The Flint Voice, a free community paper with a circulation of 10,000, plans to file a massive lawsuit this July in retaliation for the police raid. In the meantime, according to Voice co-editor Michael Moore, the paper has sued to keep police from sear- ching the offices of the paper itself. "The cops are saying that they probably wouldn't have searched our offices because of the constitutional issues involv- ed Moore said in a telephone interview. "But our point is that it doesn't matter where the files are or where our press is. Are we any less covered by the First Amendment simply because we're in a cer- tain economic status that doesn't allow us to do our own printing?" The Flint police search was the first since the Stanford decision in 1978. If the search is upheld in the courts, it will broaden police powers even more and have a chill- ing effect on American media. An adverse decision could also go a long way toward silencing tne Voice, an excellent muckrak- ing paper that has consistently scooped the daily Flint Journal with stories on municipal corruption. It was one of those stories that triggered rne1 present effsis. In Its ScptemWfm? issue, the Voice charged that seven city workers employed under the federal Com- prehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) were forced to donate time and money to Flint Mayor James Rutherford's reelection campaign. The Voice's charges were confirmed in an independent study by the city' ombudsman, Joseph Dupcza. The Voice obtained an advance copy of Dupcza's report � from whom, Moore isn't saying � and printed it in the paper's November 1979 issue, only hours before the report was set to be made public. Leaking official documents is a misde- meanor under the Flint city charter. Deter- mined to find out who gave the om- budsman's report to the Voice, Flint police twice asked Voice printer Ben Myers to turn over his files on the paper's Novembe- issue � files that would presumably tell police the exact time the paper went to press, helping to narrow the number of persons at City Hall who had access to the report at that time. When Myers ret used. the police got their search warrant Despite the CETA controversy. James Rutherford � who was Flint's police chie! before becoming mayor � was redected, and no formal charges have been tiled against him. (Pressing CETA workers into political service is a violation of the federal Hatch Act and the CETA Act.) Instead, the Flint Voice has been forced into court to wage what promises to be a long, com plex and expensive fight. Fortunately for the Voice, the American Civil Liberties Union has agreed to lake the paper's case, and additional support has been forthcoming from the Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press and the American Society of Newspaper Editors. ironiealijs theF&i Amendment wa esTabrTsnetfro pfevnTprecisefy this kind of abridgement of press freedom.

It would seem easy enough for the Student Fund Accounting Office simply to write out a check to keep you from living without electricity for a week or two, but that's not the ease; however, if you are a faculty or staff member, it's no problem. If a mistake is made on their paychecks, the situation is remedied almost immediately. hy faculty and staff and not students'? Everyone has bills to pay, but students just don't get the same deration as full-time university employees. This is another blatant example of students coming second veryone else. Ol course the Student Fund Ac- hunting Office must follow certain vedures in making out the payrolls, but there should be an emergency fund to pay students when a mistake is made. If it's possible for faculty and staff members, then it's possible for students. Record Shows Reagan Not As Far Right As Many Believe By PATRICK MINGES Ronald Reagan will probably be the next president of the United States. �Jimmy 'The Greek Snjfder June 14, 19 SO. Durham, N.C. For many, the choice between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter is an abominable one, yet one that they feel compelled to make. few realize that this year's election features one of the most impressive choices of "third party" candidates in modern history. In all likelihood, these alternative choices will succeed in giving Ronald Reagan the office which he has long pursued. The thought of Ronald Reagan a president used to send shivers up my spine. A joke comes to mind "What is flat, sandy, and glows in the dark? Iran, 24 hours after Reagan is president The fear of "Reaean the Warlord" is frightful, t L T. V � . � ' F �m:0mm, but " anet the Incompetent" is ccn more devastating. I hough being a faithful Democrat until recently. 1 could not in good conscience vote for Jimmy Carter. He is an inept, inconsistent president who has created the most serious international situation in a long time. Now he threatens to divide us further by reinstating draft registration to make up for his fallacies in foreign policy and in- ability to deal effectively with the energy crisis. Carter has made pawns out of the hostages and the American people by shrouding himself in the American flag and refusing to ac- cepi the responsibility for the terri- ble conditions his administration has created. He has stolen the Democratic nomination by using his office to make administrative decrees and public announcements w inch almost perfectly coincide with the various state primaries. He and his Georgia Mafia have villified he American political system by robb- ing his Democratic opponent of the opportunity for equal representa- tion in the process. Despite all of Carter's political manipulations, Reagan will probably spoil his plans for reelection. That might not be quite as bad as it seems. Reagan may be the cham- pion of one liners like, "Unemployment insurance is a prepaid vacation for freeloaders but he may not be the right-wing fascist that some think he is. In fact, Michael Calabrese, an associate of Ralph Nader, has published a lengthy analysis of Reagan's record, Reagan on Reagan � The Rewriting of History, which reveals that behind the bandwagon of conser- vative rhetoric there just might be a moderate. Yes, underneath -that too- dark Hollywood mop, there just could be a pretty likeable old fellow. Of course, it is hard to tell where the actor ends and the die-hard conser- vative begins. Reagan proclaims to be the cham- pion of the people by hoping to slash our overwhelming taxes. Calabrese's study says that Reagan was "the greatest tax hiker in the history of California and that under Reagan, California's per capita tax burden doubled from $244.64 to $488.19. Reagan lifted the rates for income, sales, in- heritance, state and even corporate taxes. Reagan opped top personal income tax brackets from seven to 11 percent, soaked middle income tax payers, quadrupled tax collec- tions and increased sales taxes. Taxes under Reagan increased more rapidly than under his liberal predecessor, Pat Brown. Reagan also rants and raves about the growth of public spending, but once again his record as governor is somewhat surprising. Under Reagan, the California state budget rose from $4.6 billion to $10.4 billion, an increase of 120 percent. The state's operating budget, direct- ly controlled by Reagan, increased from $2.2 to $3.5 billion, growing faster under Reagan than under Brown. Of course, Reagan bad the first balanced budget in California history and these increases in spen- ding could partially be explained by inflation and the growing costs of operation. Reagan speaks glowingly of welfare reform in the state of California, but most of the changes had more to do with national reform than any significant changes that Reagan effected. The right-to- life rs in Reagan's camp may not be too impressed with the fact that there were 215,000 Medicaid abor- tions funded by Reagan's authority. That limits the discussion among conservatives that free abortions and welfare growth go hand in hand. Despite cries of too much federal regulation of industry and the bureaucracy associated with Reagan's dogmas, there is another facet of his campaign that might ap- peal to liberals. Reagan established the nation's first state-level require- ment for environmental impact studies, a Consumer F.aud Task Force, a state Energy Commission, a Soiki Waste Management Board, some 36 Park Advisory Councils, the California Advisory Panel on Youth, and numerous other en- vironmental and individual protec- tion agencies. What it boils down to is this: If I were foolish enough to stick with the two party system (which, being a member of the Citizen's Party, I would not), 1 would probably have to refrain from voting for Jimmy Carter. Though 1 do not support Ronald Reagan, he seems to be the lesser of the two evils. The scourge of politics since the beginning of time has been someone trying to pass themselves off as something they are not. 1 would hate to see Reagan pass himself off as a sheep in wolf's clothing. Worse, 1 would hate to sec Carter pass himself off at all. Patrick Minges is a columnist and feature writer for The East Caroli- nkm. He is a graduate student in Counselor Education. I THE EAST CAROLINIAN Features JUNE 26. 1980 Page 5 Southern Gentlemen Are Still To Be Found ByJONYUHAS AMtrtMM tealurrs Kdilor "Southern Man better watch your head, Don't forget what your Good Book saidSouthern change gonna come at last, Now your crosses are burning fast Southern Man when will you pay them back So reads Neil Young's indictment of the South and its men. The first thought that occurs to this Southern Man after listening to the song is: "Where does this Canadian get off accusing me of anything?" Then comes a period of meditation on the true nature of the Southern Man and what it means to be a son of the American South. The Civil War is, of course, the milestone in the history of the South. That one event changed forever the nature of both the land and its people. Ante-Bellum South was the center of culture and learning in the United States. Literature and music and the visual arts nourished in the leisure that the plantation system af- forded. Southern ladies and gentlemen were the closest thing to the British aristocracy that the United States has ever had. The war killed off a good many of these aristocrats and destroyed the old order that they were the top layer of. The war also brought a new South, totally unlike the elegant agrarian region that had died. This "New South" was peopled by the same families that had been in the Old South. Those attributes that had been perceived as good in the Old South were preserved, or at least the attempt was made to preserve them. Thus sur- ied the notion of the Southern Gentleman. Men like Robert L. Lee and Generals Jackson and Beauregard were adopted as symbols of the chivalric code that characterized the ante-bellum South. Perhaps the best and certainly the best-known study o' the effect of the war on the people of the South is "Gone With The Wind Rhett, Ashley and Scarlett are the real South, fictionalized of course and exaggerated, but the stark reality of war and its effect on the people involved comes through in these characters. The upshot of the book's attitude is that the South is a conquered nation; its people are a conquered people. No army has ever run rampant through Pennsylvania or Ohio. But the army that totally destroyed the south was from the USA. America has never lost a war, a fact that 1' We are a conquered nation, a conquered people, The South lost a war " makes Americans proud, but the South lost a war, an extremely costly loss that has not dissipated over the hundred years that separate Appomattox and Neil Young. Southern Men today are products of that war that ended a full hundred years ago. There is still a widespread distrust of "Yankees" in the South. Even deeper ingrained in the subconscious of the southerner is the defeatism that Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner call grotesque. Part of that aspect of the southern personality is that yearning for the gentility of the Rhett Butler or Ashley Wilkes type of southern gentleman. Many modern southerners consider themselves more polite than their counterparts in other regions of the nation. When pressed, they reveal that what they mean by "polite" is simply the behavior that characterizes the ante-bellum South. Southerners are also proud of the relaxed lifestyle found in the South. The slower speech and the slower pace in general is a holdover from the plantation days. Hospitality, another aspect of the South that many southerners are proud of, is just another part of that leisurely politeness of the days of Tara. The South of today, in the face of urbanization and industrialization, has managed to keep the ideals of that older south, with its committment to art and the leisure- ly pursuits. Along with the good things from the past though, are the holdovers from the horrible defeat at the hands of our present countrymen. The memory of that defeat has left scars that have not healed in one hundred years. Neil Young's accusations are mostly of a racial nature and recent history has shown that the South has no claim as a center for discrimination any greater than that of Boston or Chicago. As Lynyrd Skynyrd points out, "Hope Neil Young will rememberSouthern Man don't need him around anvhow Rhett Butler And Scarlett O'Hara Are Two Famous "Old Southerners" patterns for modern Southc- h ' t. Roommate Is As Sure As Death, Taxes By DAVID NORRIS Slaff Wrilrr roommate (room' mat) n. 1: One who lives on the other side of your room. 2: One who is always in your room at inconvenient times and is impossible to get rid of. See PEST, JERK and TURKEY. They say that death and taxes are the two inevitable things in life. To life in college must be added a third: roommates. (Unless you are rich or lucky.) A roommate is often the first per- son you ever meet at college, except for people who hand you room keys or stand in line with, waiting to be given room keys. There aie a number of easy ways to get a roommate, especially in the dorms. One way is simply to ask one of your friends to room with you. In such a way has begun the decline and fall of many a friendship. Some people room with a brother or sister. After putting up with a par- ticular sibling for almost a score of years, it's hard to see how they'd want to continue in college, but I suppose some families are naturally close. My own brother says un- complimentary things about this school and goes to one 1 say un- complimentary things about, solv- ing that problem. It's possible that nobody will want to room with you, but you can still find a roommate by the process of potluck. Simply sign up for a room, and as soon as school starts, you'll have a brand-new roommate filling up your room with junk. My first taste of roommates came in Jones Hall in one of those tem- porary three-to-a-room ar- rangements. One roomie was a nice but incurably sloppy hippie; the other was a cleanliness fanatic, and to top it off, paranoid. If we went for a drink of water, we had to lock the door and the transom. (You see, it's possible to stand in a chair, open the transom, unlock the door with a broom handle and totally plunder the room before someone can walk twenty feet to the water fountain. The next roommate was not as colorful, but made up for it by being a jerk. People from his home town kept offering their sympathy when they found out 1 roomed with him. He snored like an unmuffled lawnmower; every cold rainy night he locked me out and brought his girlfriend over and bragged about it all the next day; and if he got a chance, he locked me out at miscellaneous times. He'd get up at five a.m. and crank up the stereo, not even using the expensive ear- phones he was always bragging about. He finally quit school, and 1 got a refund from the Mafia since I didn't need the hitman. Other people I've known were worse off. One guy got turned in for smoking dope the first day in the dorms by his roommate. A friend off mine roomed with a "drug zom- bie Another was stuck with a mili- tant misanthrope whose main philosophies o life were tnines like "DON'T TOUCH MY STEREO" and "STAY OUT OF MY SIDE 0 THE ROOM The whole idea of having room- mates is prettv absurd, when you stop to think about it. As if getting an education wasn't hard enough. they expect you to live cooped up with a stranger in a tinv. ugh and uncomfortable dorm room. That is something I wouldn't wish on a dog. but most o them have their own doghouses, anyway. Mother's Is On Campus B RUSSELL SHAW PrrformaiH-r Kdilur How do you classify a band that has played opening gigs for Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Parliament-Funkadelic, Heart, Charlie Daniels and Earth, Wind and Fire? What kind of bag could you put them in, since their music reflects both hard rock and soul- funk influences? What other band is around to compare them to? The answers to these questions are, bluntly, unanswerable until you see Mother's Finest in concert. They seem to almost revel in visiting a new city, playing before a crowd who has only come to see the star at- traction, and then, as lead singer Joyce Kennedy likes to say, "making believers out of them Mother's Finest will be making believers out of audiences right here in Greenville this Sunday. They will perform two shows in Wright Auditorium at 7:30 and 10:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $5 and arc available at the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall Student Center and at Apple Records and the Music Shop. The concensus of those who have witnessed the sextet in concert is unanimous � they are one of America's top touring bands; their level of energy and excitement is at a level coveted by many better-known ensembles; they can successfully court narrow-minded audiences to such a fervor that encores will be demanded. Mother's Finest's strong points are multifold. There is obviously a sex appeal factor present in the de- meanor of lead vocalist Joyce Ken- nedy; with tight pants and attractive looks, she uses these as a base. A mighty voice projects to the very back row. In addition, the other members have a sharply honed sense of stage presence; their dancing, peripatetic poses on stage speak of unbridled enthusiasm and dynamism. Joyce Kennedy and Glenn Mur- dock, both vocalists, originally hail- ed from Chicago where they per- formed together. "There is no group that does ex- actly what we do says Joyce. A racially mixed band of four blacks and two whites, they have a hybrid sound integrating both the force of so-called "white" rock and the funk of so-called "black music For this reason, their appeal cuts across all racial lines. As Joyce further ex- plains, "we're not V funk, we don't sing any of those soul bleeding songs, but neither do we get into pure rock and roll that deep Although their albums have won scores of critical raves, most objec- tive observers agree their live show is Mother's Finest's true calling card. "I'm really at home on the stage. That strong singing and wail- ing that you hear me do � it's for real, it is not affected. We really mean it No Vacancy To Open for Mother's Finest Here Sunday Mother's Finest and No Vacancy, the two bands that will perform in Wright Auditorium on Sunday, June 29th, are the first ever summer coneert spon- sored by the Student Union Major Attractions Committee. Both bands are primarily live' bands that can really rock on stage. Both sextets feature female vocalists and high energy guitars and keyboards. The mix of Mother's raunch and roll with No Vacancy's New Wave promises to be a most interesting combination. By RICHARD GREEN (iearrai Maaagrr "It doesn't have to make sense to be good but at least we're honest What does this mean? Who knows, but it's the slogan for one of the'newest bands in the Greenville area, No Vacancy, and they'll play- ing with Mothers Finest this Sunday in Wright Auditorium. No Vacancy is a six-piece group, and three of the musicians are ECU students: Grace Brummett, a junior voice major from Fayetteville; Doug Jervey, a freshman piano major from Franklin, Va and Tod Stilley, a freshman business major from New Bern (he says his business is rock and roll.) Demo Is Acceptable The present band has only been together since January, according to drummer Fred Midgett of Maysville, but he and Stilley go back to August 1978. They met when playing for a March of Dimes telethon and started writing music shortly thereafter. With Midgett on drums and Stilley on guitars, they recruited bassist and saxophonist Gerald Ed- wards and began working out their tunes. With the addition of vocalist Scott Whit ford, the original No Vacancy band was complete. In the summer of 1979, the band released a demo tape. D.M. One was distributed at Apple Records in Greenville and Rainbow Records in New Bern. Considering that the tape was made with the bare minimum of electronic accessories, the quality was acceptable. But the originalitv and uniqueness of the tunes on D.M. One was the strongest aspect. At the end of the summer, Ed- wards went to Western Carolina University to study saxophone and Whitford quit the band and present rhythm guitarist David Sutton of Belgrade joined the group. Then Stilley met keyboardist Doug Jervey, who lived in the same dorm and began playing with No Vacancy after Thanksgiving. In January of this year, vocalist Grace Brummett and bassist Mark Little, formerly of Two Dollar Pistol, rounded out the group and they began practicing three or four nights each week. About three months ago, the group acquired an excellent sound system designed by Associated Sound Products of Raleigh, quite a departure from the sparse equip- ment used on D.M. One. Eb Strickland, jazz guitarist in the ECU Jazz Ensemble, presently runs the sound system for No Vacancy and also for Buford T and Tommy G. No Vacancy has played at JJ's, the Attic and Big Surf at Atlantic Beach. Midgett, who has written or co- written most of their original music, says No Vacancy plays about 20 per- cent original music, but he hopes that will increase with greater ex- posure. f 4 i I HI I s i K( UNI - . xi
