ECU To Have Two Student Calendars<lb/>
By PENNY AUSTIN<lb/>
1 Cl students will be faced with<lb/>
the unusual prospect this fall of get-<lb/>
ting two for the "price" of one. It<lb/>
seems thai there will be two separate<lb/>
publications of the student calen-<lb/>
dar .<lb/>
The student calendar, which con-<lb/>
tains pertinent information concern-<lb/>
ing student activities and programs,<lb/>
has in the past been printed and<lb/>
distributed by the student supply<lb/>
store. Now, however, the Office of<lb/>
Si .Jem Life has decided to print its<lb/>
own calendar.<lb/>
Joseph Clark, director of the Stu-<lb/>
deni Supply Store, said that the<lb/>
calendar was started years ago as a<lb/>
service to the students and as a<lb/>
public relations tool for the Student<lb/>
Supply Store. The calendar. Clark<lb/>
said, has traditionally contained in-<lb/>
formation concerning the services<lb/>
provided by the Supply Store for the<lb/>
student, as well as information<lb/>
about student activities.<lb/>
?"Our calendar Clark stated,<lb/>
"has come to be recognized as the<lb/>
official calendar of activities In<lb/>
the beginning, he said, the Supply<lb/>
Store compiled all of the informa-<lb/>
tion for the calendar. During this<lb/>
time, he said, the Mendenhall pro-<lb/>
gramming staff also compiled its<lb/>
own information concerning stu-<lb/>
dent activities.<lb/>
Instead of continuing to duplicate<lb/>
the effort, Clark said that the Supp-<lb/>
ly Store and Mendenhall staff decid-<lb/>
ed to coordinate the calendar. The<lb/>
Mendenhall staff continued its com-<lb/>
pilation of activities information,<lb/>
but the Supply Store was in charge<lb/>
of layout and distribution of the<lb/>
calendar, according to Clark.<lb/>
Clark said that the calendar,<lb/>
which is distributed at no cost to the<lb/>
student, will continue to be publish-<lb/>
ed by the Student Supply Store, as<lb/>
in the past. The Supply Store, Clark<lb/>
said, covers the cost of printing the<lb/>
calendars.<lb/>
But there will also be another<lb/>
calendar of activities that will be<lb/>
distributed at no cost to the student.<lb/>
Dr. Elmer Meyer, vice chancellor<lb/>
for Student Life, said that his office<lb/>
is sponsoring a calendar of activities<lb/>
and information.<lb/>
In addition to activities informa-<lb/>
tion, Mever's calendar will contain<lb/>
information concerning student ser-<lb/>
vices and university programs.<lb/>
Meyer said that he felt that there<lb/>
was a need for more general infor-<lb/>
mation that could be made available<lb/>
to the student. This feeling, he said,<lb/>
stemmed from a report by a task<lb/>
force of the Student Services Com-<lb/>
mittee. The report said, among<lb/>
other things, that students did not<lb/>
know where to go for information<lb/>
concerning services that were of-<lb/>
fered at the university.<lb/>
Meyer's calendar will contain in-<lb/>
formation that might be found in a<lb/>
student handbook. ECU has not<lb/>
had a handbook for a while, he said,<lb/>
and he feels there is a real need for<lb/>
one.<lb/>

SfN t dilor<lb/>
A rock group whose members are<lb/>
all ECU students is considering legal<lb/>
action against the Washington<lb/>
chapter of the Jaycees for failure to<lb/>
give the band a cash award for win-<lb/>
ning a "battle of the bands" concert<lb/>
held in Beaufort County last month.<lb/>
Also involved in the complaint is<lb/>
WSFL-FM radio in New Bern, N.C.<lb/>
The group, called Glisson, has re-<lb/>
tained a Greenville lawyer to look<lb/>
into band member Tom Glisson's<lb/>
charge that the Washington Jaycees<lb/>
and WSFL, indirectly, led the 12<lb/>
bands who participated in the June<lb/>
21 event to believe that the winning<lb/>
group would receive a percentage of<lb/>
the gate receipts, but then failed to<lb/>
pay.<lb/>
Steve Nobles, a Washington ac-<lb/>
countant who is president of the<lb/>
Jaycee chapter, said Wednesday<lb/>
that "no percentage was ever men-<lb/>
tioned adding that his chapter<lb/>
"just simply doesn't have the<lb/>
money<lb/>
In the middle of these conflicting<lb/>
statements is WSFL-FM radio sta-<lb/>
tion, which promoted the concert<lb/>
for the Jaycees. According to Sta-<lb/>
tion Manager Ed Seeger, the Jaycees<lb/>
approached the station for help in<lb/>
promoting its Summer Festival, the<lb/>
Jaycees' fundraising effort this<lb/>
year, which included events such as<lb/>
a dance, a raft race, helicopter<lb/>
shows and a bicycle race.<lb/>
Nobles said that WSFL suggested<lb/>
the idea of the rock contest. The<lb/>
radio station had promoted a<lb/>
similar contest between area rock<lb/>
bands last year, said Seeger.<lb/>
According to Nobles, Seeger had<lb/>
led the Jaycees to expect that as<lb/>
many as three or four thousand peo-<lb/>
ple would attend such an event. The<lb/>
actual attendance was about 800<lb/>
people. Nobles said. Partly because<lb/>
of the low attendance. Nobles said,<lb/>
the Washington Jaycees ended up<lb/>
losing around $1000 on the Summer<lb/>
Festival as a whole.<lb/>
"We certainly were disappointed<lb/>
with the results themselves Nobles<lb/>
said.<lb/>
But when asked whether there<lb/>
had been an oral agreement with the<lb/>
Jaycees to pay the top three bands a<lb/>
percentage of the gate, Seeger<lb/>
replied, "That's what the discussion<lb/>
between myself and the Jaycees was<lb/>
about, that there would be a trophy<lb/>
and a percentage<lb/>
Seeger noted that another part of<lb/>
the deal was that the winning group<lb/>
would be aided by WSFL in getting<lb/>
record companies to listen to a<lb/>
demonstration tape of the group.<lb/>
Tom Glisson said Tuesday that this<lb/>
part of the understanding had been<lb/>
carried out.<lb/>
WSFL's role in the matter was to<lb/>
advertise the contest and act as the<lb/>
coordinator for the bands who<lb/>
agreed to play. The station also<lb/>
broadcast the event. The Jaycees<lb/>
gave the station money to cover part<lb/>
of their costs in the remote broad-<lb/>
cast, according to Seeger.<lb/>
According to Glisson, Nobles said<lb/>
in a telephone conversation that the<lb/>
total receipts were about $2300.<lb/>
Neither Glisson nor Seeger ould<lb/>
verify the amount taken in,<lb/>
however, because the Jaycees said<lb/>
the money had been immediately<lb/>
placed in a bank.<lb/>
Glisson said that he had had no<lb/>
direct communication with the<lb/>
Jaycees before the event and that<lb/>
the band was going by what Seeger<lb/>
told them.<lb/>
Seeger said that while the ;dea of<lb/>

On Fate Of Bloxton House<lb/>
The future ot Bloxton House ap-<lb/>
pears to remain in limbo, according<lb/>
to statements from university of-<lb/>
ficials.<lb/>
In June, administrators were con-<lb/>
sidering moving the Career Plann-<lb/>
ing and Placement Offices into the<lb/>
Bloxton building, located next door<lb/>
to the Erwin building and across<lb/>
from the Mendenhall Student<lb/>
Center. But the building had<lb/>
previously been used by the school<lb/>
of Home Economics to teach home<lb/>
management courses, and Mrs.<lb/>
Miriam B. Moore, dean of the<lb/>
school at the time, said that such a<lb/>
move miaht cost the Home<lb/>
Economics program its accredita-<lb/>
tion.<lb/>
The home management courses<lb/>
were necessary for some of the<lb/>
school's major programs, Moore<lb/>
said.<lb/>
According to James Lowery,<lb/>
director of the university's physical<lb/>
plant, the Career Planning and<lb/>
Placement Office needed to be mov-<lb/>
ed in order to make room for the In-<lb/>
stitute of Coastal and Marine<lb/>
Resources. The area presently oc-<lb/>
cupied by the Institute in the Wright<lb/>
Building needs renovation, and the<lb/>

<lb/>
ECU students who will want to<lb/>

reminded that they should<lb/>
register with the board of elec-<lb/>
tions in their home county.<lb/>
The deadline for registering to<lb/>
vote in the Nov. 4 general elec-<lb/>
tion is at 5 p.m. on Oct. 6, accor-<lb/>
ding to Mrs. Margaret Register of<lb/>
the Pitt County Board of Elec-<lb/>
tions.<lb/>
"Voting by absentee ballot is a<lb/>
simple procedure and can be<lb/>
done by applying for an absentee<lb/>
ballot 60 days prior to the elec-<lb/>
tion Mrs. Register said.<lb/>
A person may apply by mail or<lb/>
have a close relative obtain the<lb/>
absentee ballot up to Oct. 29. The<lb/>
ballot must then be returned to<lb/>
the local (home county) board of<lb/>
elections by 5 p.m. on Nov. 3, the<lb/>
day prior to the election.<lb/>
The important thing now, Mrs.<lb/>
Register said, is that those who<lb/>
want to vote in November make<lb/>
sure that they are registered in<lb/>
their home counties and obtain<lb/>
absentee ballots.<lb/>

Though summer is a traditionally<lb/>
difficult time to find marijuana, this<lb/>
summer has been the worst in<lb/>
several years.<lb/>
While no one can seem to put a<lb/>
finger directly on the reason, several<lb/>
theories prevail.<lb/>
The time of year may be one fac-<lb/>
tor. Petty Officer Mike Kelly of the<lb/>
Coast Guard's Public Affairs Office<lb/>
in Miami stated that "We're in the<lb/>
middle of the traditional off-season<lb/>
lull, but during the Cuban sealift,<lb/>
there have been two seizures totaling<lb/>
about nine tons of marijuana Kel-<lb/>
ly explained that the "off-season<lb/>
lull" lasted from April to July when<lb/>
harvests in South America are at a<lb/>
minimum. Kelly also stated that<lb/>
most of the marijuana smuggled in-<lb/>
to the east coast comes from Colom-<lb/>
bia and that the Coast Guard in-<lb/>
tercepted 1,321,000 tons of mari-<lb/>
juana last year.<lb/>
Another theory is that the Cuban<lb/>
sealift has distracted would-be<lb/>
smugglers away from the marijuana<lb/>
trade.<lb/>
"There is some truth in that<lb/>
said Con Dougherty, an official in<lb/>
the Drug Enforcement Agency's<lb/>
regional office in Miami. "A lot of<lb/>
people who would normally be<lb/>
smuggling marijuana are now tak-<lb/>
ing refugees into Florida for about<lb/>
$1000 a head. They're probably<lb/>
making more money and it's a less<lb/>
dangerous business<lb/>
Dougherty said also that the last<lb/>
two years had seen an overall<lb/>
decrease in drug seizures by the<lb/>
Coast Guard and the state and<lb/>
federal enforcement agencies.<lb/>
"1978 was a banner year for the<lb/>
so-called mother ships he said.<lb/>
Dougherty explained that mother<lb/>
ships are large vessels that carry<lb/>
huge amounts of marijuana along<lb/>
the eastern coast, where smaller<lb/>
boats pull alongside to off-load<lb/>
various quantities. "They're not<lb/>
anywhere near as commonplace as<lb/>
they were two years ago Dougher-<lb/>
ty said.<lb/>
Dougherty believes that Coast<lb/>
Guard interception of mother ships<lb/>
in 1978, including the Heidi, stop-<lb/>
ped with 112 tons of pot on board,<lb/>
has scared such large-scale smug-<lb/>
glers further north and west of the<lb/>
Florida region.<lb/>
A third theory is that the people<lb/>
responsible for bringing mass quan-<lb/>
tities into the Greenville area are the<lb/>
same people that grow much of the<lb/>
home-grown marijuana. By forcibly<lb/>
keeping marijuana out of the area,<lb/>
they are hoping to inflate the price<lb/>
of home-grown marijuana which<lb/>
has in the past sold for SI5 per<lb/>
ounce on the street, according to<lb/>
underground sources. Indeed,<lb/>
hybrid sinsemilla grown in the<lb/>
Greenville area has already surfac-<lb/>
ed, costing as much as $60 per<lb/>
ounce, according to sources. This<lb/>
theory, under closer scrutiny,<lb/>
however, seems steeped in paranoia<lb/>
since sources from Elizabeth City to<lb/>
Raleigh indicate one common<lb/>
denominator: there is little mari-<lb/>
juana anywhere.<lb/>
How are smokers affected by the<lb/>
marijuana drought? Some have<lb/>
commented that they are using other<lb/>
drugs more often, such as<lb/>
Quaaludes, which are strong<lb/>
depressants.<lb/>
Strangely enough, the supply of<lb/>
other drugs has not decreased, ac-<lb/>
cording to local drug dealers. Many<lb/>
dealers reported that they cannot<lb/>
keep enough depressants around,<lb/>
and that they sell out quickly. These<lb/>
sources indicate that even<lb/>
Quaaludes are still fairly abundant.<lb/>
Many of these are "bootlegs pills<lb/>
that are made independently in Col-<lb/>
ombia rather than stolen phar-<lb/>
maceutical pills, the dealers report.<lb/>

winner of the race for U. of Minnesota-Twin<lb/>
Cities student body president. Lurtsema, who<lb/>
also won the primary as a write-in candidate, is,<lb/>
of course, not eligible for the post since he isn't<lb/>
a UM student. But that didn't keep Lurtsema,<lb/>
and the student group which pushed his can-<lb/>
didacy, from celebrating the win. The students<lb/>
sa they wanted student government leaders to<lb/>
realize how many students think their campus<lb/>
government is a joke.<lb/>
A TWINKIE FEST earned both criticism and<lb/>
praise at Rochester (Minn.) Community Col-<lb/>
lege. The event, an advertising promotion for<lb/>
Wonder Bread which donated Twinkies<lb/>
featured a Twinkie stuff, a Twinkie Eat-off, a<lb/>
Twinkie toss and other events built around the<lb/>
popular cupcakes. Although participation was<lb/>
good, some students complained that the<lb/>
festival was juvenile, gave the school a bad im-<lb/>
age and wasted both time and food.<lb/>
SOUTHPAWS should get special considera-<lb/>
tion, according to the Virginia Tech student<lb/>
government. Earlier this year, that body passed<lb/>
a resolution favoring installation of left-handed<lb/>
pencil sharpeners in all classrooms, while<lb/>
recently it passed another resolution favoring<lb/>
purchase of 12 percent left-handed desks for all<lb/>
classrooms. The student government cited a<lb/>
survey showing that,left-handers increase their<lb/>
anting speed 3.5 percent when given left-<lb/>
handed desks.<lb/>
SEVEN SPORTS were recently cut from the U<lb/>
ot Colorado athletic program and a $20 student<lb/>
!eAn'ml,ated to ba,ance th-e budget. About<lb/>
$360,000 is expected to be saved by dropping<lb/>
such non-revenue sports as men's baseball and<lb/>
wrestling and both men's and women's swimm-<lb/>
ing and gymnastics.<lb/>
A BILL TO HELP "RESCUE" young people<lb/>
from religious cults was recently approved by<lb/>
the New York State Senate. The bill allows a<lb/>

FREEDOM OF SPEECH is t. . ocus of con-<lb/>
troversy at the U. of Kansas, where 12 people<lb/>
were arrested for displaying banners during<lb/>
commencement ceremonies. The 12, including<lb/>
one faculty member, were protesting a board of<lb/>
regents policy against political advertising and a<lb/>
university policy forbidding banners. The<lb/>
American Civil Liberties Union has indicated it<lb/>
may tile a suit against the university, claiming<lb/>
the policy restricts freedom of speech. Both a<lb/>
chancellors committee and a faculty group have<lb/>
recommended changing the policies to permit<lb/>
greater expression.<lb/>

Alexander said that<lb/>
the office of Student<lb/>

way to combine the<lb/>
Supply Store calendar<lb/>
with the one Meyer had<lb/>
in mind. However,<lb/>
Alexander said, there<lb/>
was not really enough<lb/>
time and the Supply<lb/>
Store was restricted by<lb/>
a limited budget.<lb/>
Meyer said that in-<lb/>
itially there will be<lb/>
7,000 copies of the<lb/>
calendar printed at a<lb/>
cost of about $4,000.<lb/>
He added that this cost<lb/>
estimate was not final,<lb/>
since the calendar was<lb/>
still out on bids.<lb/>
The calendar that the<lb/>

the average black campus has 36<lb/>
degree programs, while the average<lb/>

As a result, UNC not only has<lb/>

failed to provide the older legal<lb/>

black colleges is prima facie<lb/>
evidence that UNC has failed to<lb/>

Despite the relatively slow sum-<lb/>
mer months, the Student Govern-<lb/>
ment Association has accomplished<lb/>
several goals and acted on various<lb/>
matters.<lb/>
Among the many resolutions<lb/>
passed vas the action by the SGA in<lb/>
creating a more flexible loan fund.<lb/>
The SGA Confidential Loan Fund,<lb/>
which made axailable loans of up to<lb/>
SI50 for abortions, was changed to<lb/>
the more general SGA Emergency<lb/>
Medical Fund. The new fund will<lb/>
make aailable loans of up to Si50<lb/>
for any medical emergency.<lb/>
Other actions taken by the SGA<lb/>
included the defeat of the<lb/>
Cheerleader budget. The SI,953<lb/>
budget was defeated because, accor-<lb/>
ding to Sam Bernstein, acting<lb/>
treasurer for Kirk Little, "The<lb/>

was passed this summer by the<lb/>
SGA. The budget, which is an essen-<lb/>
tial bill that must be dealt with in the<lb/>
summer, includes expenditure for<lb/>
floats, plaques and trophies,<lb/>
decorations, bands and other forms<lb/>
of entertainment.<lb/>
The budget for the Executive<lb/>

budget includes lawyer fees,<lb/>
telephone, travel and office sup-<lb/>
plies.<lb/>

The Legislature also made am-<lb/>
mendments to the SGA Emergency<lb/>
Loan Fund. The ammendment in-<lb/>
cludes the following changes:<lb/>
Students requesting extensions on<lb/>
SGA Emergency loans are to be<lb/>
charged an extension fee of $1, and<lb/>
students who are late in repaying a<lb/>
loan will not be allowed to borrow<lb/>
money the next semester.<lb/>
The biggest and most important<lb/>
thing the SGA has done, according<lb/>
to SGA president Charlie Sherrod,<lb/>
is compiling the constitution, elec-<lb/>
tion and legislative by-laws, the<lb/>
judicial segment and other student<lb/>
government documents into one<lb/>
book. The books, which will be pro-<lb/>
fessionally printed, will cost $3,000,<lb/>
according to Sherrod.<lb/>
The summer legislature is made<lb/>
up of the president, vice-president<lb/>
and treasurer. "It has been tradi-<lb/>
tional that you do not spend a lot of<lb/>
money in the summer Sherrod<lb/>
said. "If there is an immediate need<lb/>

It was 11:52 p.m. last<lb/>
Wednesday and Ms.<lb/>
Stahl had reason to<lb/>
sound aghast.<lb/>
For 13 hours, her<lb/>
network had been<lb/>
reporting that former<lb/>
President Gerald Ford<lb/>
was willing to take<lb/>
Washington's No. 2<lb/>
job for the second time.<lb/>
A minute after Ms.<lb/>
Stahl's call to Hewitt,<lb/>
reporter Ed Bradley<lb/>
called on the intercom<lb/>
to say he had Nevada<lb/>
Sen. Paul Laxalt col-<lb/>
lared.<lb/>
Bradley wanted a<lb/>
camera crew so Laxalt<lb/>
could tell CBS viewers<lb/>
that Bush, not Ford,<lb/>
was Reagan's choice<lb/>
for the GOP vice<lb/>
presidential nomina-<lb/>
tion.<lb/>
"Where are you?"<lb/>
Hewitt asked Bradley.<lb/>
"I'm here Bradley<lb/>
said, too excited to be<lb/>
more helpful.<lb/>
Finally he and Laxalt<lb/>
were spotted. But then<lb/>
the problem was that<lb/>
Arthur Bloom, CBS's<lb/>
Wallace, took the air at<lb/>
11:54 p.m. with the<lb/>
Bush news.<lb/>
Wednesday was, in<lb/>
the course of a single<lb/>
day, the best of times<lb/>
and the worst of times<lb/>
for CBS.<lb/>
The network strode<lb/>
out ahead of other<lb/>
news organizations<lb/>
chasing the vice<lb/>
presidential nomina-<lb/>
tion on Wednesday<lb/>
morning when cor-<lb/>
respondent Dan Rather<lb/>
said the Reagon-Ford<lb/>
negotiations were<lb/>
serious.<lb/>
Then, Wednesday<lb/>
evening, Walter<lb/>
Cronkite, in an ex-<lb/>
clusive interview with<lb/>
Ford and his wife, Bet-<lb/>
ty, became the first<lb/>
newscaster ever to act<lb/>
as a broker for the vice<lb/>
presidency.<lb/>
While ABC reporter<lb/>
Barbara Walters, on<lb/>
the verge of tears,<lb/>
waited outside the CBS<lb/>
anchor booth for her<lb/>
own Ford interview,<lb/>
Ford told Cronkite that<lb/>
if he were assured of a<lb/>
"meaningful role" in a<lb/>
Reagan administration,<lb/>
he might take the vice<lb/>
presidency.<lb/>
On the air, Cronkite<lb/>
called the arrangement<lb/>
Ford sought a<lb/>
"co-presidency" and<lb/>
the concept caught on<lb/>
like wildfire among<lb/>
print and TV reporters<lb/>
In journalism, the<lb/>
normal goal is to be<lb/>
right and first with the<lb/>
news.<lb/>
But by the time the<lb/>
Reagan-Ford story<lb/>
died, CBS had been<lb/>
first and wrong, ABC<lb/>
had been second and<lb/>
wrong, and NBC had<lb/>
been last and right.<lb/>
More significantly,<lb/>
as it turned out, TV<lb/>
either almost made a<lb/>
vice president ? or a<lb/>
former vice president<lb/>
almost made himself<lb/>
one again by using TV.<lb/>
From Hewitt's<lb/>
perspective, Wednes-<lb/>
day was a great night<lb/>
for the network.<lb/>
"Ford wanted to talk<lb/>
to the American people<lb/>
and he decided to do it<lb/>
through Walter<lb/>
Cronkite he said,<lb/>
conceding he was taken<lb/>
by the Ford develop-<lb/>
ment.<lb/>
Cronkite also seemed<lb/>
almost to apologize for<lb/>
the network's promo-<lb/>
tion of the idea.<lb/>
"When you have<lb/>
open air time, there's<lb/>
lots of speculation<lb/>
because you don't have<lb/>
any facts to work<lb/>
with Cronkite said<lb/>
Thursday, just before a<lb/>
press conference at<lb/>
which Reagan chided<lb/>
TV for carrying rumors<lb/>
and gossip.<lb/>
The way it looked<lb/>
Wednesday night from<lb/>
Hewitt's convention<lb/>
hall control room was<lb/>
confused.<lb/>
By 9 p.m he was<lb/>
receiving conflicting<lb/>
reports about whether<lb/>
Ford had made up his<lb/>
mind. All the reports<lb/>
were broadcast.<lb/>
Thus, the CBS<lb/>
reports may have been<lb/>
accurate, moment by<lb/>
moment.<lb/>
But the network did<lb/>
more: Its reporters<lb/>
sometimes acted as<lb/>
though the Ford<lb/>
nomination had been<lb/>
confirmed.<lb/>
And reporters from<lb/>
other networks also fell<lb/>
into the same trap. And<lb/>
so did print reporters.<lb/>
For example, about<lb/>
120,000 copies of the<lb/>
Chicago Sun-Times<lb/>
were printed with ban-<lb/>
ner headlines announc-<lb/>
ing Ford as Reagan's<lb/>
choice.<lb/>

Charlie Sherrod<lb/>
SGA President Cuts Spending<lb/>
Although SGA President Charlie<lb/>
Sherrod has been in office only four<lb/>
months, his impact is already being<lb/>
felt. Sherrod has taken the office,<lb/>
weakened by the previous ad-<lb/>
ministration, and turned it into a<lb/>
positive force on behalf of students.<lb/>
Unlike his predecessor, Sherrod is<lb/>
a conservative spender. The Sum-<lb/>
mer Legislature, breaking with past<lb/>
tradition, appropriated no money to<lb/>
non-SGA groups this summer.<lb/>
The Transit System is now using<lb/>
the smaller athletic vans to conserve<lb/>
fuel. The larger buses are used only<lb/>
when necessary.<lb/>
When Sherrod was vice president,<lb/>
he recommended to the legislature<lb/>
that a change be made in the ap-<lb/>
propriation of funds to the Transit<lb/>
System. The legislature enacted a<lb/>
provision that required all unex-<lb/>
pended monies to revert to a special<lb/>
"bus fund" at the end of the fiscal<lb/>
year. When the money reverted last<lb/>
month, the Transit System had<lb/>
more than $17,000 to purchase a<lb/>
new bus.<lb/>
Sherrod is now preparing a com-<lb/>
prehensive student handbook,<lb/>
which will include everything from<lb/>
the SGA Constitution to the student<lb/>
Honor Code. In the past, each SGA<lb/>
document has been prepared<lb/>
separately. Last year it cost $5,000<lb/>
to print all of the documents. This<lb/>
year, by combining everything into<lb/>
a comprehensive handbook, the<lb/>
total cost will be $3,000.<lb/>
SGA isn't the only place Sherrod<lb/>
has been working to save money<lb/>
and increase efficiency. He has<lb/>
worked hard as a member of the<lb/>
Media Board to cut waste. During<lb/>
last week's meeting, he was in-<lb/>
strumental in cutting the Buccaneer<lb/>
budget. By doing so, he may have<lb/>
saved ECU students $30,000.<lb/>
Waste is not the only thing Sher-<lb/>
rod has spared the students of ECU:<lb/>
For the first time in more than a<lb/>
year there is no internal fighting in<lb/>
student government. The SGA is<lb/>
now running smoothly, and<lb/>
students should be thankful ?<lb/>
they're the ones who reap the<lb/>
benefits.<lb/>
Media Board Cuts Buc;<lb/>
Saves Student Money<lb/>
One more word on the student<lb/>
yearbook, the Buccaneer:<lb/>
Last week the Media Board met<lb/>
for continued discussion of the<lb/>
media budgets and to cut enough<lb/>
money to balance the budget.<lb/>
Because the board needed to cut<lb/>
more than $20,000, it faced the dif-<lb/>
ficult task of deciding which ser-<lb/>
vices most benefitted students and<lb/>
which services could stand cutting.<lb/>
The budgets, as they were given<lb/>
final approval, are as follows:<lb/>
Buccaneer $27,820<lb/>
The East Carolinian $34,639<lb/>
WZMB $30,450<lb/>
Rebel $14,436<lb/>
Media Board<lb/>
Executive Council 17,405<lb/>
Photo Lab $11,346<lb/>
The Buccaneer budget was ap-<lb/>
proved without a printing line item,<lb/>
approximately $38,000. After<lb/>
assessing student demand this fall,<lb/>
the board will approve enough<lb/>
money to print the appropriate<lb/>
number of 1980-81 yearbooks.<lb/>
The Media Board took the first<lb/>
positive step in protecting student<lb/>
money from another year of waste.<lb/>
By waiting to determine student de-<lb/>
mand for the Buccaneer, the board<lb/>
will accurately assess who wants a<lb/>
yearbook.<lb/>
The board set a deadline for the<lb/>
1979-80 hooks to o distributed<lb/>
and, unlike last year, only students<lb/>
will be able to get one ? a good idea<lb/>
since students footed the bill. This<lb/>
will give an accurate picture of how<lb/>
many students want a yearbook.<lb/>
Last year the Buccaneer staff<lb/>
gave yearbooks to coaches, ex-<lb/>
changed books with othei schools<lb/>
and still had 1000 left. Considering<lb/>
that distribution for the 1978-79<lb/>
yearbook began nearly a year ago,<lb/>
one can see the wasted student<lb/>
dollars.<lb/>
Barrie Byland, editor of the Buc-<lb/>
caneer, and Craig Sahli, former<lb/>
editor, were uncompromising in<lb/>
their discussions with the board.<lb/>
They refused to voluntarily cut the<lb/>
press run or to cut the number of<lb/>
pages in the yearbook. They main-<lb/>
tained that cutting either would<lb/>
compromise quality.<lb/>
Although quality is a matter of<lb/>
subjective opinion, the unwill-<lb/>
ingness to cut their budget will force<lb/>
the board to make the cuts. Perhaps<lb/>
that is the best answer.<lb/>
The Media Board doesn't want<lb/>
the extravagance of past Buccaneer<lb/>
staffs, and students should be<lb/>
thankful for its concern.<lb/>

Reagan 1980 'Good Old Boy'<lb/>
By PAT MINGES<lb/>
If the Carter campaign policy of por-<lb/>
traying Reagan as an evil that could<lb/>
destroy international security is a suc-<lb/>
cess, Ronald Reagan might be the next<lb/>
president of the United States. Reagan's<lb/>
campaign will be based on the idea that a<lb/>
"good old boy" will return us to the<lb/>
days when we got an honest dollar for a<lb/>
hard day's work.<lb/>
This supply-side-based economy of<lb/>
the conservative philosophy could be the<lb/>
first wholesale swing to the right in<lb/>
American history. That the Republican<lb/>
platform of business-based concern and<lb/>
international stability will be hazardous<lb/>
to the United States has yet to be seen,<lb/>
but some things are a little upsetting.<lb/>
The most distressing aspect of the<lb/>
platform is that there seems to be no<lb/>
long-lasting solution to the energy pro-<lb/>
blem. The Republicans claim that the<lb/>
energy problem will be solved if we<lb/>
simply remove all governmental<lb/>
restraints from big oil companies. This<lb/>
policy may have been great in 1920, but<lb/>
will it work in today's complex scenario?<lb/>
Reaganites hope to decontrol the price<lb/>
of oil and gas; repeal the windfall profits<lb/>
tax and install a plow-back provision;<lb/>
phase out the tax on old oil; eliminate<lb/>
the market restrictions on natural gas;<lb/>
dismantle the Clean Air provisions;<lb/>
repeal the 55-mph speed limit; and con-<lb/>
vert to coal-burning as soon as possible.<lb/>
If you think we got burned in the past<lb/>
by the oil companies, just think about<lb/>
what could happen with a Republican<lb/>
administration. One can complain about<lb/>
OPEC, but given the same choice, the<lb/>
oil companies will show no mercy. Two-<lb/>
hundred percent profit will be small<lb/>
potatoes.<lb/>
The anti-nuclear movement would<lb/>
have plenty of fuel in a Republican ad-<lb/>
ministration. The Reagan folks are<lb/>
gung-ho for the nuclear industry, sup-<lb/>
porting accelerated use of nuclear power<lb/>
regardless of the cost to the environ-<lb/>
ment. An unregulated nuclear industry<lb/>
could surely bring us to the brink of<lb/>
disaster, but conservatives feel that this<lb/>
is the price we must pay for energy in-<lb/>
dependence. The incidents at Three-Mile<lb/>
Island and Brown's Ferry, the Fermi ac-<lb/>
cident that nearly cost us Detroit, and<lb/>
the Rocky Flats and Black Hills<lb/>
rebellions will become daily occurrences.<lb/>
As if it's not enough to have slow-<lb/>
motion bombs in our backyards, the<lb/>
Republicans would have a defense pro-<lb/>
gram based on the nuclear warhead, the<lb/>
most horrifying invention ever conceiv-<lb/>
ed. They want the MX missile, the most<lb/>
costly defense mechanism in history,<lb/>
which will probably be obsolete by the<lb/>
time of completion. They propose ac-<lb/>
celerated development of a new manned,<lb/>
strategic bomber, which would not be<lb/>
able to penetrate Soviet defense systems<lb/>
and would not stand a chance against an<lb/>
unmanned missile.<lb/>
Speaking of unmanned missiles, the<lb/>
Republicans support continued develop-<lb/>
ment of the Cruise missile to be<lb/>
deployed from land, sea or air. The<lb/>
Republican platform proposes vigorous<lb/>
research and development of strategic<lb/>
nuclear forces for the president to com-<lb/>
mand. Reagan has come a long way<lb/>
from the days of his six-shooter, but his<lb/>
aides insist that he's not trigger happy.<lb/>
The violence in Miami is evidence that<lb/>
minorities and poor people are not very<lb/>
happy now, but things will take a drastic<lb/>
change if we get a conservative ad-<lb/>
ministration. The Republicans want to<lb/>
cut social services, abolish affirmative<lb/>
action, cut public service jobs, and<lb/>
decrease the food stamp program. They<lb/>
oppose wage-price controls, most<lb/>
unemployment benefits, and Medicaid.<lb/>
The Republican convention has been<lb/>
criticized for not including blacks, and<lb/>
the platform states that the G.O.P.<lb/>
"will not make idle promises to blacks<lb/>
It seems as ;hough there will be no pro-<lb/>
mises at all.<lb/>
The Europeans may not like Carter,<lb/>
but they are even more afraid of a<lb/>
"movie star cowboy" and the effects<lb/>
that his administration could have on<lb/>
foreign policy. Reagan's hard line<lb/>
against the Russians, rejection of<lb/>
nuclear arms limitation, refusal to ac-<lb/>
cept Palestinian goals, threats against<lb/>
Iran, insistance that an oil embargo<lb/>
would be a hostile act, hatred for left-<lb/>
wing revolutionaries in Nicaragua and<lb/>
El Salvador, and caution in affairs in<lb/>
China arouse concern.<lb/>
While many nations are attempting to<lb/>
thrust off imperialist tcndancics, Reagan<lb/>
seeks to "stabilize" conditions in<lb/>
foreign countries. Pair this concept of<lb/>
stabilization with the proliferation of<lb/>
nuclear arms and it presents a frighten-<lb/>
ing picture. Will this attempt to "Make<lb/>
America Great Again" mean that we<lb/>
will attempt to show our muscle in<lb/>
potentially hazardous areas with<lb/>
devastating consequences?<lb/>
Reagan's election might be a good<lb/>
thing; it will either be the salvation of<lb/>
our nation or its disintegration. The sw-<lb/>
ing to the right could bring about a left<lb/>
wing backlash that would rival the tur-<lb/>
moil of the sixties. There could be a<lb/>
realization that the U.S. government has<lb/>
as its priority an increased concentration<lb/>
of wealth, instead of a sincere concern<lb/>
for the welfare of the whole nation.<lb/>
Carter Re-election Bid Slim<lb/>
By ROBERT SW AIM<lb/>
Now that the Republican Convention<lb/>
has finalized the ticket of Ronald<lb/>
Reagan and George Bush, the $64,000<lb/>
question is: Does Jimmy Carter stand a<lb/>
snowball's chance in Hell of being re-<lb/>
elected?<lb/>
The speakers addressing the conven-<lb/>
tion on the opening night assailed<lb/>
Carter's poor record. Gerald Ford<lb/>
characterized the Carter administration<lb/>
as one built on policies of weakness and<lb/>
appeasement in foreign affairs and on<lb/>
economic ignorance of the critical issues<lb/>
of inflation and unemployment.<lb/>
There can be no doubt in any<lb/>
American's mind that Carter's presiden-<lb/>
cy has been a ship adrift without a cap-<lb/>
tain. In recent months, interest rates<lb/>
have climbed to an astronomical 20 per-<lb/>
cent, unemployment to over 8 percent,<lb/>
and inflation to 18 percent. Our country<lb/>
has never fallen on harder economic<lb/>
times except during the Great Depres-<lb/>
sion of the 1930's.<lb/>
Carter surrounds himself with cabinet<lb/>
members and aides who arc at best in-<lb/>
ept. We have seen him fire most of his<lb/>
cabinet members and reshuffle others.<lb/>
Then Cyrus Vance resigned. Vance was<lb/>
one of the few cabinet members held in<lb/>
any esteem by the American public.<lb/>
There is no doubt that Jimmy Carter<lb/>
is a good man with a good heart and the<lb/>
best of intentions. However, presidents<lb/>
are elected to lead. Good intentions just<lb/>
aren't enough to fill the bill. We must<lb/>
have results.<lb/>
Despite his shortcomings, we must<lb/>
give Carter credit in the one area where<lb/>
he does excell - partisan politics. Jim-<lb/>
my and his "Georgia Mafia" are shrewd<lb/>
and quick on the campaign trail. When<lb/>
nitty comes to gritty, Jimmy can sway<lb/>
the voters.<lb/>
But he has his work cut out for this<lb/>
time. His back is to the wall and he must<lb/>
face voters who have seen their hard-<lb/>
earned dollars shrink as never before.<lb/>
What will he tell the millions of<lb/>
Americans who have lost their jobs dur-<lb/>
ing his tenure as the chief executive? It<lb/>
will be interesting to hear Jimmy give the<lb/>
reasons for voters to re-elect him. Being<lb/>
a born-again Christian and a<lb/>
Washington outsider won't work this<lb/>
time around.<lb/>
Not only does he face tough opposi-<lb/>
tion from Reagan and Bush, but also the<lb/>
division of the Democratic party. Teddy<lb/>
Kennedy is the best thing going for the<lb/>
Republicans right now. Conservative<lb/>
Democrats are disgusted with Carter,<lb/>
and the Kennedy liberals will most surely<lb/>
go to Anderson. Who will vote for Jim-<lb/>
my?<lb/>
Carter's administration has been bog-<lb/>
ged down because of his lack of govern-<lb/>
ment experience, his ignorance of how<lb/>
Washington works, and his adversary<lb/>
relationship with the congress, which is<lb/>
dominated by his own party. Although<lb/>
Ronald Reagan has been criticized as<lb/>
having too little government experience<lb/>
(he served two terms as governor of<lb/>
California), one must remember that<lb/>
prioi to 1976, Carter's only experience<lb/>
tn government was one term as the<lb/>
governor of Georgia, which is smaller<lb/>
than North Carolina, and a term on the<lb/>
Sumter County, Cieorgia School Board<lb/>
in the early 1950's.<lb/>
Carter's inability to muster legislative<lb/>
support for his programs even among<lb/>
fellow Democrats can be attributed to<lb/>
his arrogant attitude of "do it my way,<lb/>
all or nothing He has not learned to<lb/>
compromise and develop a give-and-<lb/>
take relationship with the House of<lb/>
t<lb/>
1<lb/>
fc  ?? ?? " ' <lb/>
.mMm ? ?? m ?? -<lb/>
????????? ?????<lb/>
Representatives and the Senate.<lb/>
This inflexibility is a noticeable con-<lb/>
trast when comparing Carter to Reagan.<lb/>
Even though Reagan was a conservative<lb/>
Republican governor in California, he<lb/>
had savvy enough to sit down at the<lb/>
bargaining table with the legislature's<lb/>
Democratic leadership to iron out his<lb/>
proposals ? with notable success.<lb/>
The darkest shadow over Carter's<lb/>
chances is the erosion of his political<lb/>
base, the South. Although the South has<lb/>
been traditionally Democratic in its<lb/>
politics, it is a bastion of conservatism.<lb/>
The once solidly Democratic South went<lb/>
solidly Republican in 1972 for Richard<lb/>
Nixon.<lb/>
In the eyes of many dyed-in-the-wool<lb/>
southerners, Carter has turned his back<lb/>
on his native Southland and the ideals<lb/>
that have long been sacred here.<lb/>
It is doubtful that Carter will carry the<lb/>
South this year. There are some predic-<lb/>
tions that he may be lucky to carry even<lb/>
half of the South. There is speculation<lb/>
that Reagan will almost certainly carry<lb/>
Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana,<lb/>
Tennessee, Texas, and ? incredible as it<lb/>
may seem ? Georgia. Carter is expected<lb/>
to capture Alabama and Mississippi.<lb/>
The rest is up for grabs.<lb/>
With Reagan assured of taking the<lb/>
West, the Midwest, half of the South,<lb/>
and several large states in N w England,<lb/>
things look dismal in the Carter camp.<lb/>
Carter tried to be all thins to all people<lb/>
and the American public has become<lb/>
skeptical. He should have remembered<lb/>
the classic words of his crony Bert<lb/>
Lance, who testified before the Senate<lb/>
ethics committee that: "From those<lb/>

After two years, he says, he and<lb/>

the way to do it. "There's the<lb/>

He could sail away on vacations<lb/>

retirement to put to sea if he had a<lb/>
traditional land job and owned a<lb/>
boat but, McCormick says, moving<lb/>
boats ,s a greater challenge and a<lb/>
less expensive way to see the world<lb/>
The average sailor could put<lb/>
down more miles doing deliveries<lb/>

McCormick says hiring out to<lb/>
deliver boats is a slow way to make a<lb/>
living, though. "If you're around<lb/>
boats enough, there's always<lb/>
somebody who wants a boat moved<lb/>
but it s the type of thing that only<lb/>
happens once a year or so. It can<lb/>
become a living, but it takes a<lb/>
Jt T he? hke to work hi way<lb/>
up to 10 or 12 trips a year in about<lb/>
five years when he knows enough<lb/>

moving boats requires professional<lb/>
experience, he says, he has had to<lb/>
deal with more irritation vhen try-<lb/>
ing to get worthwhile pay than when<lb/>
dealing with some of the headaches<lb/>
aboard a ship in stormy weather<lb/>
Amateur movers spoil the<lb/>
market, he intimates. "People will<lb/>
move a boat for free because they<lb/>
want to go sailing. There's a pro-<lb/>
blem if the owner isn't willing to<lb/>
Pay for a professional mover It's<lb/>
not just a chance for someone to<lb/>
have a free vacation. What I'm get-<lb/>

For three years the pattern has<lb/>
been, he says, that he gets a phone<lb/>
call, somebody sends him some<lb/>
money and he delivers the boat if<lb/>
it s seaworthy.<lb/>
There are many times when you<lb/>
arrive at a boat and it's not ready<lb/>
You call the owner up and say<lb/>
Hey, this boat's not seaworthy <lb/>
He says he hasn't had to call off<lb/>
many trips, but if he gets on the<lb/>
wrong boat, it would only have to<lb/>
sink once to wipe out his dream.<lb/>
"Jumping on a boat as crew or<lb/>
moving one is like sticking your<lb/>
thumb out on the highway: You<lb/>
nave to make sacrifices. You're at<lb/>
the whimsy of the owner, but you've<lb/>
got your own trip. If you're only in<lb/>

Album View<lb/>
Gang Of Four: Political Rock<lb/>
By PAT MINGES<lb/>
Maff Writer<lb/>
With a crash and a boom, the new British inva-<lb/>
sion is making its most voracious assault in the<lb/>
form of a whole new breed of rockers that are<lb/>
redefining what we know as "Rock and Roll<lb/>
While the Clash and thr Jam have their founda-<lb/>
tions pretty well rooted in traditional rock and<lb/>
roll, these new groups such as the Raincoats,<lb/>
Essential Logic, and Gang of Four are following<lb/>
Johnny Lydon's delvings into more obscure<lb/>
sounds. The Gang of Four have released their<lb/>
first album, Entertainment, and it is being billed<lb/>
as one of the finest albums released since the 1977<lb/>
release of the punk classic, The Clash.<lb/>
Entertainment is receiving tremendous critical<lb/>
acclaim. It is currently riding atop the jazz and<lb/>
pop poll of the Village Voice and last week was<lb/>
the featured album in the Rolling Stone review.<lb/>
Although 1 never thought it would be receiving<lb/>
the exposure it is getting; I figured that it just<lb/>
might be too outlandish for local tastes. In all<lb/>
probability, you might have some difficulty even<lb/>
obtaining the album, but try Apple records. If<lb/>
they don't have it, well, you will just have to<lb/>
order it. It will be well worth your wait.<lb/>
The Gang of Four got their name from the four<lb/>
top Communist officials purged from the party in<lb/>
China's post-Mao upheaval. The group is com-<lb/>
posed of guitarist Andy Gill, vocalist Jon King,<lb/>
bassist Dave Allen, and drummer Hugo Bur-<lb/>
nham. The combo was organized at the Universi-<lb/>
ty of Leeds where Gill and King, then students,<lb/>
ran the campus film society. The boys all met at<lb/>
an anti-National Front (a fascist organization)<lb/>
demonstration and have been blending rock and<lb/>
revolution ever since. This is not music for the<lb/>
apolitical or those who have an uneasy stomach.<lb/>
This is definitely not mainstream music and if<lb/>
there ever has been an antithesis to popular music<lb/>
or even rock, this is certainly it. The main word to<lb/>
describe the Gang of Four's music is dissonant<lb/>
because of its polyrhythmic sound and fractured<lb/>
melodic refrains. Entertainment, with its blatant-<lb/>
ly Marxist overtones, is political music that makes<lb/>
the Clash's most vehement protestations seem<lb/>
like conservative meanderings. The violently po-<lb/>
tent blend of supra avant-garde rock and wildly<lb/>
futuristic political philosophies make Entertain-<lb/>
ment and the Gang of Four the most refreshing<lb/>
things to come along in a while.<lb/>
This is music that will drive you to the dance<lb/>
floor. Powerful is not the word for it. In fact, 1<lb/>
have a hard time finding an adjective to describe<lb/>
the intensity of the effort. Gill's Levene-like<lb/>
guitar explodes, sputters and careens into ab-<lb/>
breviated chord progressions set against the<lb/>
booming, looming sound of Allen's frenetic bass.<lb/>
King rants and snarls Marxist dogma and the en-<lb/>
tire sound is propelled by Burnham's explorations<lb/>
of funk, reggae and outdated disco. The result is<lb/>
a sound like Public Image but with a much more<lb/>
appealing and aesthetic approach.<lb/>
Though the music may transcend the limita-<lb/>
tions of rock, the lyrics make most "silly love<lb/>
songs" and pop transgressions seem even more<lb/>
like the lyrical masturbation than they really are.<lb/>
"Guns before Butter" is a song that should be<lb/>
heard by every nineteen-year-old on his way to<lb/>
the post office. "At Home He's a Tourist" is a,<lb/>
classic about urban tension. The entire album<lb/>
confronts us with lyrics and liner notes that<lb/>
challenge the very conceptions of the world we<lb/>
possess and force us into self-realization. I can<lb/>
only hope that Gang of Four will be a prominent<lb/>
part of your intellectual accomplishments.<lb/>
So, as you sit around getting fat, think of those<lb/>
who would welcome your leftovers. Think also of<lb/>
the Gang of Four, for they are thinking of you.<lb/>
They are weaving your plight into a song that may<lb/>
someday move you on the rock disco floor.<lb/>
Phones And Foul-Ups<lb/>
Continued from page 5<lb/>
you wait for somebody to get back from lunch to<lb/>
straighten out your bill. I had one three month<lb/>
period that had mistakes on each phone bill. The<lb/>
first was a call to Chapel Hill for 44C that 1 didn't<lb/>
make. I didn't complain, since they missed a call<lb/>
to Winterville or someplace. Next was a $4 call to<lb/>
Indiana. Neither my roommate nor I had even<lb/>
considered calling anyone in Indiana. 1 had it<lb/>
deleted from my bill at the cost of only fifteen<lb/>
minutes of telephoned muzak. The third month<lb/>
had a fictitious call to Charlotte. (I'm from<lb/>
Charlotte, but relatively few people there still<lb/>
speak to me, so 1 don't make that many calls<lb/>
there.) It was too bad that there wasn't a fourth<lb/>
monthly mistake, because 1 was looking forward<lb/>
to ripping out the telephone from the wall<lb/>
Another fun thing is the folder that the phone<lb/>
company gives you when you sign up for a phone.<lb/>
It has advice like if your phone is out of order,<lb/>
dial 756-such-and-such and report it. If the phone<lb/>
isn't working, how do you dial anything?<lb/>
Payphones are really fun here. Just try to drop<lb/>
in four nickels before someone can say "Hello?<lb/>
Hello and hang up on you. The only way to<lb/>
cope is to put in a quarter, and the payphones are<lb/>
pretty tightfisted when it comes to giving change.<lb/>
Another funny thing about payphones ? in<lb/>
New York the last time I was there, it cost only<lb/>
ten cents to call from a phonebooth, but our hotel<lb/>
charged twenty cents for each call made from a<lb/>
room.<lb/>
Calling celebrities is another thing people do<lb/>
with telephones. A friend of mine once had a<lb/>
bunch of movie stars' phone numbers, but the<lb/>
closest we ever came to talking with a :tar was<lb/>
getting a voice which said that Orson Welles<lb/>
hadn't been there for years. Another guy got<lb/>
drunk at a party and decided to call Brezhnev in<lb/>
Moscow and cuss him out, but chickened out and<lb/>
hung up on an overseas operator in New York.<lb/>
Pranks are either a plus or a minus when it<lb/>
comes to telephones, depending on whether you<lb/>
are making them or receiving them. Although the<lb/>
phonebook always tells you they are illegal, some<lb/>
people derive up to 90 percent of their fun from<lb/>
making prank calls. One of my personal favorites<lb/>
is to pick out someone who doesn't deserve to<lb/>
sleep and call his neighbor's room when you<lb/>
know nobody's home. If the dorm resident isn't<lb/>
around, this game can go on for a whole<lb/>
weekend.<lb/>
A big problem with telephones is related to<lb/>
people, not the phone itself. That is the aversion<lb/>
people have to taking messages. Think how many<lb/>
times you've heard, "Yeah, I'll tell him you call-<lb/>
ed Think how many times you've called back<lb/>
later and heard, "I didn't know you called<lb/>
Then, there are those who won't leave a message,<lb/>
but say they'll call back later. Then, you come<lb/>
home and are told some girl called you about<lb/>
something sometime ago.<lb/>
Answering the phone is another problem. Since?<lb/>
everyone knows that phones automatically ring<lb/>
while you are in the shower, I won't even bother<lb/>
to mention that, but they also ring at the last<lb/>
scene of a good movie or during a classic Tom<lb/>
and Jerry cartoon.<lb/>
People don't always allow enough rings. 1 live<lb/>
in a house with huge rooms that take about two<lb/>
rings apiece to cross. Many callers hang up after<lb/>
four rings, evidently envisioning some tiny dorm<lb/>
room or something. Also, there are so many peo-<lb/>
ple in my house that the odds are about fifteen to<lb/>

one that the call is for somebody else, so that one<lb/>
becomes reluctant to bother to get up and answer<lb/>

Even worse is someone who answers and says<lb/>
"He's not here" without checking. Imagine a<lb/>
girlfriend or boyfriend or parents calling at 8:30<lb/>
Saturday morning and being told you're not there<lb/>
instead of a considerate lazy lie like you're asleep.<lb/>
This type oversight can cause all kinds of com-<lb/>

Tompkins noted that<lb/>
the journalism techni-<lb/>
ques he learned from<lb/>
Ira L. Baker, who<lb/>
recently retired as head<lb/>
of the journalism pro-<lb/>
gram at ECU, have<lb/>
been used time and<lb/>
again.<lb/>
"Most of us felt he<lb/>
(Baker) was a little old<lb/>
man from another<lb/>
generation talking<lb/>
about such things as<lb/>
sacred deadlines and<lb/>
news gathering techni-<lb/>
ques we thought out-<lb/>
dated said Tom-<lb/>
pkins.<lb/>
"Sure, we've got<lb/>
computers and high-<lb/>

the basics that man<lb/>
learned and taught us<lb/>
are no more different<lb/>
than when Adolph<lb/>

Ms. Broome notes<lb/>
that a journalism major<lb/>
is not necessary to<lb/>

sufficient to learn the<lb/>
basics she said.<lb/>
