According to Wanda Yuhas, assistant program director at Mendenhall, several film shorts will be shown in the Coffee House weekdays from 11:30 a m to 1:30 p.m. Admission is free for the film shorts, and any student or faculty member is welcome, she said. Among the many shorts to be shown are the Mash Cordon serials. Abbot and Costello, W.C. Fields and ex- cerpts from the Ali-Shaver fight.

Yuhas explained that one Saturday each month, Mendenhall will sponsor the family day in an effort to provide program- ming for the non-traditional student (that is. the student with a family.) The first Family Fun Day will be Sept. 20 from noon to 3 p.m. and will offer reduced rates at the recreation centers, games, prizes and a movie geared for family view- ing. This fall will also see the return of the Ice-Cream Bingo program. Beginning Sept. 9 at 7 p.m the university community will have the opportunity to come out to Mendenhall for some ice cream and lift allows the wheelchair-bound stu- dent to have access to the bowling alley, she said. Also, a close-captioned machine will be installed in the television screen at Mendenhall for the hear- ing impaired student. The machine will be installed sometime soon, she said. A C-phone has also been installed at the information desk at Mendenhall. This phone, which is connected to the main switchboard, will allow the deaf student to "call in" and find out what programs are being offered at Mendenhall. Ac- cording to Jackie Jackson, secretary tor the office of programming, each day's activities will be listed on the phone. Deaf students will also be pointed out that the student should have his university I.D. since it is a general university requirement. Another change in ticket distribu- tion concerns the amount of tickets a student can obtain. In the past, a student could only pick up one ticket for an event. However, this See MENDENHALL, page 2, col.l By JACK HOPKINS M�fl VAriler Dr. John East was recently ap- pointed to an advisory panel on domestic affairs for the Reagan presidential campaign. The panel, which also includes such well-noted individuals as economist Milton Friedman and former Treasury Secretary William Simon, will advise the Reagan cam- paign on current trends and the panel's opinion of them. Dr. East, since 1966 a political science professor at ECU, is running for the U.S. Sena against Robert Morgan. 'This panel will not meet as a group but will consult with each other by phone and then contact Gov. Reagan or his staff East said. 'The only time we would possibly meet as a group would be after the election, if Gov. Reagan is elected East, a member of the Republican National Committee, was present at the Republican Convention in Detroit this month, when the ap- pointment to the panel was made. Dr. East stated that he felt the Reagan-Bush ticket "is a good, strong ticket that can win in November adding that the use of the advisory panel could help the campaign greatly. When asked about the Bush nomination he said, "1 think that George Bush was a good choice, and 1 think that he will lend strength to the ticket Although Dr. East would have preferred former Presi- dent Ford or Sen. Jesse Helms, he is not unhappy with Bush. The "Ford incident which Dr. East feels was a media created event, "will have no effect on the election bv November. 1 think President 1 ord made the right decision.

Several policy changes have also been made, according to C. Rudolph Alexander, director of Mendenhall.

In the past, the student had to present the valid university l.D. before he could pick up tickets. But Alexander ed for once a month. Both the ice cream bingo and Family Fun Day are free and open to the university community. These programs may take a while to catch on, Yuhas added, since they are new. The handicapped student will also find some major changes at Mendenhall, according to Yuhas. This summer, a hydraulic lift was installed in the bowling alley. The Apartment Plan Seems Doomed Also, the university would have to sign a three-year lease and accept responsibility for the apartments. According to Wooten, if ECU had signed a lease, students would pay about $55 more for a two three students would be the max- imum number that would be allow- ed to live in a two bedroom apart- ment. Each student would pay $600 per semester, or $150 per month. The three students would be paying ECU $450 total for the apartment. But if a student rented the same apartment independently, it would cost $285 per month total. Three students renting the apartment in- dependent of ECU, then, would pay $95 apiece. By TIM (,11 ES sun � nirr lack o student interest and economic factors have all but ter- minated university plans to provide off-campus housing, according to Dan Wooten o ECU housing. Housing for students this fall is expected to be tight. The Depart- ment o Housing at ECU had plann- ed to accomodate extra students by leasing Wilson Acres Apartments and renting them to students. Fet- ters were sent to dormitory students about two weeks ago to find out how many students would be in- terested in renting from the universi- ty. The letters also offered an exten- sion for withdrawing from the dorm contract to allow students to be refunded their deposit on the room. Approximately 3600 letters were sent out to male and female students. Only 67 persons respond- ed.

Because the cost of a dorm room this fall bedroom apartment. For example, semester will be $295, as opposed to $500 per semester for a three bedroom apartment or $600 for a two bedroom apartment, a dorm room is economically more attrac- tive. Another factor that may have deterred student interest in the apartments is that, besides kitchen appliances, the apartments are un- furnished. The kitchen appliances consisted of a refrigerator and stove. By JADE GORMAN Maff Wrilef The Major Attractions Commit- tee, which is responsible for all ma- jor concert programming and fun- ding at ECU, is faced with such a devastating budget problem that there will probably not be any big concerts on campus during the com- ing Fall semester. Charles Sunc, chairperson of the committee, explained that the budget problem is part of a trend that indicates the nation's recession has hit the concert market. "We're not the only ones having problems said Sune, as he pointed to a front page article in the July '80 issue of Billboard magazine headlin- ed, "Like Records and Films, Con- cert Business Droops He con- tinued by saying that other univer- sities across the state are also faced with the drop in concert attendance. The last academic year, 1979-80, the Major Attractions Committee lost approximately $25,000 on con- certs, said Sune. The rock group America was the first concert at ECU last year, November, and appearing resulted in in a $15,000 loss for the Major Attrac- tions Committee. Sune could not ex- plain why the group was such a loser, but said that the Unviersity of Virginia lost the same amount of money on the group when they played there just a few davs after they performed at LU. The next concert was Nantucket and Mother's Finest, who perform- ed at the first of December. This show resulted in a profit of about $5,000, said Sune. The rock group Toto appeared at ECU in the spring. According to Sune, this concert lost between $5,000 and $6,000. He said the fact that the concert was on a Thursday night, and close to exams, may have affected the poor turnout. "We can't select the days for the con- certs said Sune. "We had to get the group at the first of a tour and we feel Toto was a good selection At the end of the spring semester, the Major Attractions Committee had $8,000 left in their budget. Sune said they scheduled the Mother's Finest concert in the summer to make some money for the upcoming year, Mother's Finest usually being a big money maker. But things did not go as planned. "Mother's finest failed miserably said Sune. The remaining $8,000 left in the budget was lost. Sune explained that unlike other Student Union Committees, such as the Films Committee and the Artist Series Committee, the Major At- tractions Committee gets no part of the Student Union fees appropria- tions. "We work on a break even basis said Sune. A concert is funded by the committee and they just hope to break even on the deal. he explained. "The concert business is very complicated said Sune. "Croups decide they will tour to make money. Then. ECU will get an otter from that group to appear. They want a flat fee and then a percentage of gate money. For example, Toto got a flat fee and then 60 percent ot the gate. This percentage was con- servative gate, as most groups get about 70 or 80 percent. Firefall got 70 percent Sune emphasized. See CONCERTS, page 2, col.5 Basic Grant Funds Reduced This Year receive if the program were fullv funded. Under the existing formula, ap- proximately 50,000 applicants in this low-income category were found either ineligible for grants or eligible only for small amounts. To correct this situation before the beginning of the fall term, the Department will send these students new eligibility reports that reflect the revised income assessment for- mula. � The Basic Educational Oppor- Sid � Walk Slgfl PrOVOkeS AtltUGaVS pw.bmmaMr �ion Ac, of ,965. .s amended. ,tong Gntk �?� .���& SScTSEU mSiASk V I 2 THE EAST CAROLINIAN JULY 31, 1980 Announcements Discount Day Fridays are savings days at Mendenhall Student Center Prices are ' j OFF every Friday from 1 p.m until 4 p m for bowl mg, billiards and table tennis Make Friday your day to save and have fun too with "Discount Day" at Mendenhall Video Game Asteroids" is here The hottest new video game is on campus for you Come over to Mendenhall, take a break from the heat and test your space fighting ability Mendenhali's summer hours are 8 30 a m 11 00 p m Monday, and 8 30 am 5 00 p m , Tuesday Friday Poetry Contest A S1000 grand prize will be award eo in the Sixth Annual Poetry Competition sponsored by the World of Poetry, a quai lerly fM wsletter for poets Poems of all styles and on any subiect are eligible to compete for ana prize or tor 49 other cash or mercnandise awards Poetry Editor Eddie Lou Cole States We are encouraging poetic talent of every kind, and ex pect our contest to produce ex ci'ing discoveries like Virginia Bates, a housewife from Wood bine, Md She won our grand prize last year with her poen PIETA " Rules and official entry forms are available from World of Poetry. 2431 Stockton Blvd , Dept N, Sacramento, Cal 9S817 Needed The Office of Handicapped Stu dent Services is receiving applies tions from students who are in terested in becoming attendants to wheelchair students and readers for those who are visually nan dicapped if interested, contact C C Rowe, Coordinator of Han dicapped Student Services.

Black Enrollment Displaced By Hispanics College Notes VIETNAMESE STUDENT ORGANIZA- TIONS have been accused of being front organizations for CARP, the Unification Church organization. At Northeastern U. in Boston, where CARP was denied official recognition for allegedly trying to skirt univer- sity rules, a dance sponsored by the Vietnamese Student Association was heavily promoted by former CARP members. On other campuses, says an ex-CARP member, followers of Rev. Sun Mung Moon either sponsor or support Vietnamese student organizations because both groups share anti-communist goals.

A COPYRIGHT BATTLE against ABC televi- sion was won recently by the Iowa State U. Research Foundation. The foundation claimed it owned the copyright on a film about ISU and Olympic wrestler Dan Gable and that ABC us- ed excerpts from the film on three telecasts without proper authorization. A U.S. Court of Appeals recently upheld an earlier damage award requiring ABC to pay the foundation $15,250 in damages and $17,500 in lawyers' fees. AN EARTHQUAKE HAZARD POLICY, believed to be a first for a campus, is now in ef- fect at the U. of California-Santa Barbara. The policy incorporates lessons learned in a 1978 earthquake and is designed to eliminate 80 per- cent of the injuries that could be expected because of a moderate quake. It includes emergency training for campus personnel, an increased "earthquake awareness" program for everyone on campus and a series of physical changes that will make furniture, equipment and supplies less vulnerable during a quake. THE FOURTH "HAIR" SURVEY at Winona (Minn.) State U. shows that a slightly higher percentage (53 to 49 percent) of male graduates were clean-shaven in 1980 than in 1979. About 35 percent of the men had a mustache while 12 percent had both mustache and beard, an in- crease of 7 percent since the first survey was taken by Dr. J.H. Foefeen in 1977. This year, Foegen's graduation ceremony observations also included female shoe styles. About 40 per- cent of the women wore heels of three inches or more while 41 percent wore heels of less than three inches and only 19 percent wore flat shoes. ATLANTA � Com- pared to the early years of the 1970s, the rate of black enrollment in col- leges and universities has slowed con- siderably. By contrast, the recent participation registered a 16 percent increase among blacks in the South � more than double the in- crease among blacks nationwide. "Trends among black students are in- of Hispanics in higher creasingly reflecting education has increased those observed for the substantially, par- ticularly in Florida and Texas, where nearly 9 out of 10 of the South's Hispanic students are enrolled. Among black students, full-time enrollment actually decreased slightly both in the nation and the South between 1976 and 1978 (the most re- cent year for which data is available), ac- cording to a new report from the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). However, these declines were offset somewhat by part-time enrollments, which student population as a whole notes James R. Mingle, SREB research associate, in a study of black and Hispanic enrollment in higher education. By level of study, black enrollment in the nation and in the South varied as follows bet- ween 1976 and 1978: �At the undergraduate level, Southern enrollment statistics showed an in- creased preference among blacks for study in agriculture, architec- ture, engineering, en- vironmental design and natural resources, but enrollments in the biological sciences and physical sciences declined by 4 and 5 per- cent, respectively. � In graduate level programs in the South, the number of blacks enrolled was unchang- ed, but nationwide there was a decline of almost 3 percent. �Black enrollment in first professional pro- grams in Southern in- stitutions increased by about 8 percent in the two-year period, with largest gains occurring in dentistry and veterinary medicine. The institutions most adversely affected by the enrollment slowdown are the tradi- tionally black colleges and universities, most of which are located in the South. This group of institutions, which registered numerical declines in both full- time and part-time enrollment between 1976 and 1978, consists typically of four-year, residential institutions. Of all black students in the South, the percentage attending predominantly black institutions ahs declin- ed steadily over the past 20 years. However, 1978 signaled the first numerical drop in total enrollment in the tradi- tionally black institu- tions � about 4 per- cent. Among Hispanic undergraduates, business and manage- ment claimed a large portion of all enrollments in 1978 in the nation and in the South, but in the sciences and in engineering, Hispanic participation is slight. In 1978, for example, Hispanics represented 1.3 percent Undergradu engineering enrollments in South. i e tht ECU Concerts Hurt By General Slump College Costs Slow Increase The cost of higher education is going up again this fall, but a survey by the College Board indicates that the rate of increase will be slightly less than it was last year. According to the survey of more than 3,200 schools, con- ducted by the board's College Scholarship Service and released Tuesday, total costs for the 1980-81 academic year at a private, four- year college or universi- ty will average $6,082 for a student who lives on campus. That's an increase of 10.3 percent over the price for the 1979-80 academic year. From the fall of 1978 to the fall of 1979, the cost of a year at a private, four-year school went up 10.6 percent. The latest increase in college costs, however, is less than the overall inflation rate, that is expected to average about 12 percent for 1980. Joe Paul Case, director of program ad- ministration for the scholarship service, said he was surprised that the rise wasn't big- ger, "considering the way the rate of infla- tion has escalated Case said, however, that students and their parents � who pay 56 percent of the college bill on the average � will have increasing trouble making ends meet. "If parents' incomes don't keep pace with inflation he said, "the gap between the amount they can pay and the rising cost of college will widen Case said he did not expect any increase in federal aid programs this year. Continued from page 1 Sune also explained that the facilities at ECU are not large enough to attract major groups here. There are 6,000 seats at Minges Coliseum, compared to 17,000 at Greensboro Coliseum. Obviously, groups will want to go to larger facilities when they are coun- ting on a percentage of the gate. "We can't get superstars; we have to get either rising acts or those that are falling Sune said. Furthermore, claimed Sune, the location of ECU is undesirable. This is a rural area that is not a major money market. There are no major airports here. "If the choice for a group is to come here or go to Duke University, they'll go to Duke because it's a major money area with three large universities near- by Sune said. Sune explained that there are a few options for the prospects of concerts at ECU for the coming year. One alternative, Sune said, is for ECU to get out of the concert business. But he feels this alter- native would not be a popular one with the students. Another option is for the Major Attractions Committee to get money from the Student Union Pro- gram Board, which is made up of all the Student Union Committees. "For this to be a viable alter- native said Sune, "other commit- tees would have to make sacrifices A third alternative is to terminate the present University policy of not allowing outside promoters on cam- pus. But it could mean higher prices and perhaps dissolving the Major Attractions Committee, Sune said. "If it meant dissolving the commit- tee to keep concerts going, we wouid he said. "We may decide to go that route sometime during the coming year and then get back in it the next year Sune went on to say that ad- ministrators at ECU would prefer that the Student Union get out of the concert business because rock groups' contracts are demanding and complicated and difficult to negotiate. As for the immediate future, Sune said that nothing can be done until school gets back in and the Major Attractions Committee can meet. "We've been knocked down and now we have to get back up he concluded.

But the city also profits in other ways from the universi- ty community, especial- ly at the beginning of each decade, when the nation � and Green- ville � takes its head count. Preliminary census figures show that over 35,000 people live in Greenville now, up about 15 percent over the 30,000 figure reported in 1970. Because state and federal money is often alloted to local govern- ments based on popula- tion, the thousands of But it is difficult to say, in terms of dollars and cents, what the presence of these students means to Greenville's share of state and federal aid. "It means quite a bit, because the students are counted just like the people who live here permanently said Ben Shivar, Green- ville's community development director. "The state-shared revenue that we get is based mostly on population, and we estimate that it comes out to S20 per capita. But the federal revenue-sharing money is based on a very com- plex formula, and population is only one of the factors involv- ed State-shared revenue students who live in is money returned to town and on campus local governments from help fatten the city certain state taxes, ex- budget by their very plained Shivar. Federal estimate, at least 9,000 of them do, represen- ting 25 percent of the city's present popula- tion. The preliminary 1980 census results list about 5400 students in the dormitories alone. That means that students account for at least $180,000 of the state-shared money, us- ing Shivar's $20-per- capita figure. Gail Meeks, who works with the Green- ville budget office, said that the city's total budget last year was ap- proximately $9.9 million. Most of the money comes from local taxes and other grants from state or federal government, she said. THE EAST CAROLINIAN JULY 31,1910 School Sex Bias Workshop Set Pholoby TERRY GRAY Greenville Census Workers are tying up the last loose ends of their mission Ml N��� Burra "Quality and Equali- ty in Education a summer workshop for teachers, will be co- sponsored by ECU's School of Education in Nags Head August 6-8. The program is ar- ranged by the ECU Sex Desegregation Training Institute in cooperation with the Southeast Sex Desegregation Assistance Center, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and the N.C. Depart- ment of Public Instruc- tion.

But based on a conservative Three out of four smokers who quit even- tually start smoking again, most of them because of withdrawal symptoms. The tobac- co withdrawal syn- drome includes well- known effects such as increased anxiety and irritability, metabolic changes, and weight gain. The most com- monly reported and probably the most significant symptom is a craving for tobacco. In fact, 90 percent of all smokers report a severe tobacco craving when they attempt to quit. In order to study tobacco withdrawal more . closely, psychologists Saul Shif- fman and Murray Jar- vik conducted a UCLA Canvassers Banned Dorm Rules Redefined study with 40 smokers who participated in a smoking cessation clinic. For two weeks, each subject completed four daily question- naires which the psychologists used to chart the withdrawal symptoms. What Shiffman and Jarvik discovered was that withdrawal symp- toms varied according to the method used to help the smoker quit. Half of the subjects quit "cold turkey" and half reduced their smoking slowly. Although both groups initially reported- similar symptoms, only the "cold turkey" group experienced a large decrease in symp- toms during the first week. According to Shiff- man and Jarvik, "Smokers who cut down their consump- tion precipitate a chronic state of withdrawal. The cigarettes indulged in by smokers to attempt to cut down may serve only to prolong their agony by intermittently reinforcing their symp- toms and their smoking behavior Family smoking habits were also a significant factor. Sub- jects whose fathers did not smoke were more likely to successfully quit than those whose fathers were smokers. The psychologists also found that those who smoked heavily at social gatherings were less able to quit suc- cessfully, as were those who smoked most heavily during the even- ing hours. The data also showed that smokers who had previously been able to quit on their own for considerable time periods were most like- ly to be successful in smoking cessation pro- grams. hrnrn Suliuna. �n- amptiN Krpurl- The relationship bet- ween educational in- stitutions and outside commercial or political groups is being redefin- ed following recent court cases.

Student Supply Store When students return to campus this fall they will no doubt know what day of the week it is. As it stands now, there will be roughly 28,000 calendars printed by three different organizations. There will be enough calendars for every stu- dent to have two, with some left over. Two of the three organizations printing calendars have been doing so for several years. The Student Supply Store has been printing its calendar for the last 10 years, while the Student Union has been printing its calendar for the last four years. The Office of Student Life, on the other hand, is printing its combina- tion calendarhandbook for the first time. HIS CourJTtys GOfoGTD for y l0H�fct 90 l G6TIMk ? rr Does the university need another calendar? Furthermore, does the University have a need for the type of calendar that Student Life wants? When there are so many calen- dars already being printed, it's hard to justify yet another calendar. However, as Dr. Elmer Meyer, vice chancellor for Student Life main- tains, students do need a place where they can find listings of the various student services. The larger question is does the university need to continue the Stu- dent Supply Store calendar? Does the Supply Store calendar list any information that students couldn't otherwise learn from another source? The Student Supply Store has prepared its calendar for the last 10 years. The calendar has been used as more of an advertising tool than a place to inform students of campus events. As a matter of fact, Mendenhall Student Center has prepared the list of events and then given that information to the Supp- ly Store to print in their calendar. Meyer's calendar seems to be long past due. Now, perhaps students will know what student services are available to them. And there is little doubt I that this coming year, students will know the correct day of the week. Democrats Vote To Remove Anderson From N.C. Ballot The State Board of Elections voted Tuesday to bar independent presidential candidate John Ander- son's name from appearing on the state's general election ballot. The vote was 3-2 and went along party lines. The decision to remove Ander- son's name from the ballot means that many North Carolinians will have no alternative candidate this fall. What will this action mean to the thousands who are disillusioned with President Carter and to those who are unable to support Ronald Reagan? In all likelihood, many will opt not to vote. In the coming months, the American people will learn more about the candidates. Americans will learn more about the man Es- quire magazine called "a nap man" and more about "Billygate It is apparent that the Democrats did not want to give North Caroli- nians a choice this fall. It isn't enough that the Carter people don't want to open up the Democratic convention to allow for the selection of a candidate who would better represent the party; they are now set on stopping independent candidate John Anderson from appearing on the ballot this fall. The Democrats have plenty of good reasons for wanting Anderson off the ballot. They know they are in serious trouble and Anderson would more likely take votes from a moderate like Carter that from a reactionary like Reagan. Under the guise of following state law, the Democrats have attempted to save an election that appears already to be lost. ISfW THE fc THE CAMPUS IS KlrDA &LAOD, &UT THE TUrriOMS CH6AP j NCPA Aids Student Newspapers By RICHARD GREEN (General Manager Three East Carolinian staff members and one member of the ECU Media Board attended a North Carolina Press Associa- tion (NCPA) convention July 24-26 in Asheville, N.C. Although the paper has been represented at NCPA conventions in the past as an associate member, we are now the first student publication to achieve full-time status. 1 was very surprised to discover that we are the only student newspaper to push for a full-time membership and succeed. There was some opposition among the smaller newspapers in the state because they thought we would be just one more com- petitor for awards. That's almost a compli- m e n t . Some NCPA members are The Charlotte Observer, The Washington Dai- ly News, The Fayetteville Observer, The Salisbury Post, and the Durham Morning Herald. Most of the editors and publishers we spoke with were also surprised that other student papers had not sought member- ship. I'm certainly glad The East Caroli- nian did. The greatest benefit to any NCPA newspaper is the strength that all North Carolina newspapers wield in the battle to maintain freedom of the press. The association retains a legal counsel (some call him a lobbyist) in the state legislature to keep an eye on any bill which could ef- fect journalists' rights and to report that information in the association's publica- tion, The North Carolina Press. Perhaps of greatest service to college newspapers is William C. Lassiter, NCPA general counsel. Lassiter is only a phone call away with 41-years of experience in solving journalists' legal problems, in- cluding libel, freedom of information, and open-meetings laws. You wouldn't believe how many times a collegiate journalist needs that experience on his side. The NCPA conventions are also a great way for collegiate journalists to learn. As is common at most conventions, more is learned after the formal meetings, with refreshment in hand, talking with people like Frank Daniels, publisher of The News and Observer; Walter Phillips, editor o the Carteret County News-Times; or Arm- field Coffey, editor of the Watauga Democrat . For ECU students interested in jour- nalism, NCPA membership is another bonus offered through The 1 ast Caroli- nian. Heck, X'm not Sweat i nq V.aT exam Ive got c Sol& U. into It ft Misik fmMMmrnmm Carter Offers Americans No Hope By PAT MINGES Billygate will mean very little. Everyone knew that he was a boob all along, and you cannot fault Jimmy for his brother's ac- tions. Jimmy has enough of his own. Even if the involvement in the scandal proceeds all the way to the presidency, it will pro- bably have a minimal effect on the elec- tion. One cannot add insult to injury when the injury is fatal. The two main tenets of Carter's plat- form will be selling his experience and in- stilling a fear of a Reagan presidency. So it looks as though he will have to rely on Reagonophobia because he has little to of- fer in the area of experience. His first term has consisted of broken dreams, empty promises, vacillation and limp policies. He has proven to be the very things that he campaigned against in the 1976 election. A mid-June N.Y. Times CBS News Poll asked over 1500 adults this question: "Whether or not you agree with him, do you think Jimmy Carter's positions on the issues are firm and consistent?" Only 40 percent said "yes while 53 percent said "no Reagan, Anderson and even Ken- nedy had higher ratings than Carter on consistency. Nine percent identified the quality they disliked most about Jimmy was his indecisiveness. What seems to scare people the most about Carter is the fact that they have absolutely no idea how he will react in a crisis. Let's take a brief look at Carter's record on crucial issues. His biggest flip-flop was on the U.N. issue on Israel, but his policy toward the Iranians has been the most vacuous. His campaign said that unemployment would never be used to fight inflation; that was just an empty pro- mise, like so many others. First he said "Don't Spend then he said "OOPS! Spend He swore that tax cuts were out and that we must reduce defense-spending. But when Reagan gained popularity, Carter changed his tune. In 1976, Carter offered the voter a government "as honest and truthful and decent and fair and competent and idealistic and compassionate and as full of love as are the American people He also promised never to lie or to make a misleading statement or to avoid a con- troversial issue. Four years later 1 wonder what happened to those promises. Were they just idealistic dreams that bit the dust in the bitter world of the American presidency? Human rights were an integral part of this upright campaign, but Carter has not taken hard steps to reinforce his rhetoric when he had the chance. His role in Billy's grandiose scheme has not yet been fully ex- amined, but already things are looking bad for the "honest politician Jimmy sought to eliminate wasteful water projects, but when some were discovered to be pet pro- jects of Russell Long or John Stennis, they were deleted from the hit list. Carter re- jected judicial nominee Archibald Cox, who has received high bi-partisan acclaim, when Cox was discovered to have been sponsored by Ted Kennedy. Carter's elec- toral campaign of Rose Garden tactics has been viewed by many as political skulldug- gery, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Carter insists that he never makes deci- sions about government according to his political concerns, and this contention has aroused much public skepticism. CBS News questioned Carter on this point by offering evidence that each significant an- nouncement or "breakthrough" in the Ira- nian dilemma has coincided perfectly with various state primaries. Jewish organiza- tions expect that as soon as the elections are over, Carter will take an extremely hard line against the Begin government. Both his stand on registration and on the Olympic boycott are seen by some as hav- ing distinctly political overtones. Some have inferred that the "rescue mission" could have been the ultimate political maneuver. Part of Carter's problem is his consis- tent use of negative superlatives. Everything is the "gravest the "worst" or the "most severe" the nation has ever endured. This tendency has brought about a sort of fatalistic resignation among Americans and has given the Republicans their most viable tool against the ad ministration. Are the problems so deep, or are these the attempts of an inept ad- ministration to buy time? All of these problems are creating a cry from Democrats for an open convention, but Carter delegates would sooner die than allow that to happen. They are now trying desperately to change the rules of the Democratic Convention and bind delegate to candidates according to the primaries Times are quickly changing, and for the first time since Nixon, more Americans are willing to vote Republican than Democratic. An open convention would probably reaffirm Carter and build Democratic solidarity for a tough struggle against Reagan. Wouldn't it be nice, however, if Ken nedy were nominated and we could have a clear-cut ideological struggle for control of our nation?

Perhaps it should also have closed Monday night. Well, that's not exactly fair. There are some good points to the play, but they are qualities that are in- herent in the script and not necessarily in this production. The comedy, produced by East Carolina Summer Theatre and directed by Edgar Zoessin, is about a man and a woman who, over the course of 25 years, carry on a once- a year affair. Bernard Slade's script is witty, fast-paced, realis'ic, and sharp. The play is full of one-liners that leave behind a stunning impact on the audience, or at least they should. The play requires a sincere and com- plete unity from the actors. The suc- cess of the script screams for a superb sense of timing and coopera- tion. Loessin's production, pitiful- ly, lacks all of this. Del Lewis as George, gives by far the best performance. His sense of timing and delivery are mainly on the mark. What he desperately lacks is support from Amanda Muir, who plays Doris, his once-a-year lover. Muir seems to be more than in- adequate in the role. She frantically flails about the stage, desperately searching for her character. Unfor- tunately for the audience, if she has a character, it is never seen. Her part comes off as insincere, flat and void of any real animation. Instead of providing a real human character with whom Lewis' more developed character can act and react to, what she achieves is merely a one-dimensional manequin delivering lines that become even flatter and more lifeless as the even- ing progresses. Lewis' part finds no help or haven in Muir's dismal per- formance. One would think he would do better with the character of Helen, his wife, who exists in theory only. Had there been two fully developed and functioning characters on stage Monday night, success would not be in question. The script is good enough on its own merit. All it needed was a little help. Even Muir couldn't help but get laughs at times, through no effort on her part, I should add. The best moments of this produc- tion occur when Lewis is alone on stage. Then he doesn't have to worry about Muir's non-character. However, Lewis runs into dif- ficulty also. The play is basically a comedy, but there is a serious vein that runs underneath and at times surfaces to punctuate the laughter with a gut-rending twist. See FAILS, Page 6, col. 5 Lewis is on the mark; Amanda Muir is inadequate in her role. What could have been an excellent theatrical event was, instead, a poorly planned and half-executed ordeal. Hidden Fat Lurks Within Our Diets ByJANLL. BRODY VI . Times t�� srske S YORK � If there is one nutrient that has the decks stacked against it, it's fat. The typical American diet has a higher fat content than nearly any other in the world. While agreement on this issue is not universal, many scientists blame this rugh-fat diet for a number of our chronic health pro- blems and killing diseases, among them heart disease, obesity and possibly cancers of the colon and breast. Fat is a more concentrated source of calories than any other nutrient and thus is the most fattening foodstuff we regularly consume. A gram of dietary' fat supplies the body with nine calories, compared to only four calories per gram of carbohydrates or protein. Even alcohol has fewer calories (seven per gram) than fat. Thus, cutting down on fats is one of the best vys to reduce caloric intake and achieve and maintain a nor- mal body weight. At the turn of the century, fat accounted for about 32 percent of the calories consumed by the average American. Today, more than 40 percent of our calories come from fat. We eat a lot more cholesterol-lowering polyunsaturated vegetable fats than we used to, but we haven't cut back much on cholesterol-raising saturated fats, which come mainlv from animal foods. Most of the fat we eat is superfluous from a nutri- tional standpoint. To meet basic nutritional needs, we need to eat only one tablespoon of a polyunsaturated oil each day. This supplies the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, and helps you absorb fat-soluble vitamins. However, the average American adult eats six to eight times this amount of fat. Thus, fat is a major source of nutritionally empty calories for millions of Americans. hard-to-notice marbling in meat. It is an integral part of hard cheeses and cream cheese, fish, deep-fried foods, nuts, seeds, cream soups, ice cream and chocolate. It is a major ingredient in a wide variety of factory- prepared products, including baked goods (especially cakes, pies and cookies), processed meats (frankfurters, bologna and the like), instant meals, coffee whiteners, whipped tODDings, snack foods and granolas. Even one "Although as a nation we have become very fat-conscious in recent years, most people consume far more fat than they realize. " Hidden Fat Although as a nation we have become very fat- conscious in recent years, most people consume far more fat than they realize. This is because only about a third of the fat we eat is so-called visible fat, such as the hunks or strips of hard fat on meat, the fats and oils we use in cooking and seasoning our foods, and the oil- based dressings we pour on salads. Most of the fat in our diets is hidden fat. It is the popular diet product, Pillsbury's Figurines, has fat as its main ingredient. The meals you eat in restaurants also may contain far more fat than you may suspect. You may pass up the butter on your bread, the sour cream for your baked potato and dishes that are deep-fried. But your soup, gravy and sauces may be swimming with hidden fat; your steak (already three-fourths fat calories) or your fish may be broiled with butter; your salad may be load- ed with a fatty dressing, and your rich desserts may con- tain far more fat than sugar. Heavy Health Foods Even those who advocate more healthful diets that are not overly dependent on red meat often substitute fattier foods than the ones they reject. Examples include the quiches, avocado salads, nuts and seeds, nut butters, sesame paste and granolas featured in health-food restaurants and stores. A quiche is made from cheese in which three-fourths of the calories come from fat, cream in which nearly all the calories are fat and pie crust in which more than half the calories are fat calories. Similarly, 85 percent of the calories in nuts come from fats and three-fourths of the calories in seeds (for example, sunflower seeds) and avocados are fat calories. Whereas most breakfast cereals are very low in fat, granolas derive about a third of their calories from the fat in nuts, seeds, coconut and added oil. Figuring How Much It is difficult to know how much fat might be contain- ed in most processed foods. Check the list of ingredients on the label; ingredients are listed in order of their pro- See FAT Page 6, Col. 1 Film View Echoes of Hitchcock: De Palma's Thriller 'Dressed To Kill' B STEVE BACHNER ? c�lurr I- dilor "Dressed to Kill" is being pro- moted as a routine shocker of the kind that has made its distributor, American- International, rich and infamous. Bui it is much, much more�and more interesting�than that. It is another homage by a very gifted, if a bit erratic, y6ung director, Brian de Palma ("Phantom of the Paradise "Carrie "The Fury"), to one of the cinema's genuine masters, the late Alfred Hitchcock. The theme is Hitchcockian: a demonstration of the way private sexual obsession has a way of spilling over into public, with murderous consequences ("Vertigo"). There are the inno- cent bystanders drawn dangerously into a closely woven criminal web ("The Man Who Knew Too Much"). Even the murder that is the film's central incident�a perhaps too ghastly knifing�reminds us of the famous shower-bath murder in "Psycho as does a splendid, spooky score that is reminiscent of the score done for "Psycho" by that film's masterful com- poser, the late Bernard Herr- mann. More important than these specific references to glories past, however, is the Hitchcockian discipline De Palma brings to his storytelling, ihe delicate balance between humor and horror with which he permits it to unfold, and the suspenseful way he lets the audience in on the plot's secret before his characters tum- ble in to it. De Palma's story is about a schizoid killer who dons wig and women's clothing before he rips his victims to shreds with a straight-razor. Not unlike Hit- chcock, De Palma plays games with the audience, keeping his viewer wondering whether or not the next murder will be as violent and gory as the first. Certainly, this is the director's most com- plete tribute to a single film. Each scene manages to top the last, building to a weirdly plausi- ble and marvelously original crescendo. The characters are all believable enough, though there is very little dialogue. Like "Psycho this is a filmmakers film: an almost purely visual ef- fort that uses the camera as its main player�if audiences are aroused, moved, or frightened it won't be because of a perfor- mance or because of the dialogue. "Dressed to Kill" is pure file. But even the parts of the script thai do give the principle players a chance to act allude to other Hitchcock works, especially an earnest and somewhat dimwitted lecture by the film's psychiatrist (Michael Cainc) explicating the medical and psychological pro- "Each scene manages to top the last, building to a wierdly plausible and marvelously original crescendo blems of some of his patients ("Spellbound"). De Palma's New York location work in this film, as it has in the past, reveals facets of an over- familiar urban landscape un- touched by other filmmakers. There is an appealing perfor- mance by Nancy Allen (Mrs. Brian de Palma in real life) as a high-class call girl whose cries of "Wolf, wolf go unheeded until it is almost too late.

If I were one of those typical young people who splash around in mountain streams drinking beer or soft drinks all summer on one of millions of TV commercials, I'd be upset about summer's ending. Since I can't afford to go to the moun- tains, or even buy beer or soft drinks, I'm pretty much looking forward to the fall. Lest you think I'm some sort of summertime Scrooge who gives bad reviews to this wonderful and carefree season, I will mention some nice things about summer, too. For instance, this, my first sum- mer in Greenville, has dispelled many myths I've always believed about Greenville summers. I learned that the local mos- quitoes aren't really large enough to carry off even small dogs. They are neither potbellied nor bulletproof. They never fly in such numbers as to blot out the sun. People often say that "nobody's here in the summer That is ob- viously false, since I'm here writing this article and you're out there reading it. People also claim that it's hotter here in the summer, or that it rains more, or things like that. In reality, it is going to be hot anywhere, unless you sit in front of an air con- ditioner. Of course, many myths have a basis in reality. One example is the myth that says that there is nothing i L to do during the summer in Green- ville. (This statement brings up an interesting question: if something is true, is it still a myth?) Sometimes, it's nice to go into a bar with only four people in it, if you like solitude. A party with half a dozen people is economical, since the keg will last for about a week. Economy is important in sum- mertime, since most students have even less money than usual. And since Greenville operates on a skeleton crew over the summer, there are not too many jobs around. 1 have a few friends who are work- ing full-time, but they are too burnt- put from getting up at six in the morning to really enjoy spendmg the money. You know it's been a slow sum- mer when one of the high points is going home for medical and dental appointments. It can be dangerous, too, since last summer 1 nearly froze to death at my doctor's office. He was upset over creeping socialism and the President's temperature regulation. If you remember, ther- mostats can't be set under 78 degrees F (or something like that) in the summer. Anyway, doctors were exempt from that rule, so my doctor set his office temperature at about 45 degrees, just out of spite. Going to the dentist in the sum- mer isn't so bad, since mine is reasonable about his temperature setting, if he wouldn't ask me ques- tions when he has all those dental tools and machine parts in my mouth, everything would be perfect.

In fact, new styles of living and changing morali t hae diminish- ed fertility levels throughout Europe so drastically that thev are pushing birth rates below the level at which existing populations are replaced, and the fall- ing rates have promp- ted several alarmed Tnments to try to reverse the trend. In the United States, the fertility rae has pped from its peak ; 5 children per woman in the late 1950s to 1.8 during the past decade. Despite the drop, however, the large number of young people resulting from the previously high rate means that the popula- tion of 222.5 million can be expect to double in 99 vears. Worldwide, the pat- tern was found to have been partly influenced 0 ' a growing prelerence for smaller t'amilies in Asia and 1 at in America, widen- ing use of contracep- tives everywhere and the global advent of modernization and ur- banization. 'The decline is well established, and affects an important part of the world's population and is rapid Dr. Leon Tabah, director of the population division of the United Nations, told 600 specialists on the subject from 93 countries who gathered here last week. The experts met for a five-day conference to assess the first returns of the World Fertility Survey, a multinational endeavor begun in 1972 and recognized as the largest social science research project ever launched. Among other things, the massive survey found ;hat more couples are marrying later and using con- traceptive methods to delay birth, and that in- creasing numbers of working women are restraining childbirth. In Europe, the trend can have major economic and in- dustrial implications, according to experts at the meeting. Shrinking populations are likely to face serious labor shortages, while those ,n the work force, diminishing at increas- ing rates, will have to bear a larger tax burden to support the growing numbers of the retired.

Instead, the institute suggests that you choose dishes described as pickled; in tomato sauce or with cocktail sauce; steamed; in broth; in its own ju.ee; poached; garden fresh, roasted or stir- fried. Here are some other tips for reducing vour con- sumption of hidden fats: Meats, Fish and Poultry Avoid the heavily marbled prime cuts of meat and al processed meats. Lean boiled ham or slic- ed turkey are much lowerin fat than bologna salami or other luncheon meats. Buy lean ham- burger (especially if you prefer your burgers rare). Flank steak, sirloin tip and London broil are among the leaner cuts of beef. Leg of lamb and veal are also lean. , Broil or grill, rather than fry, meats, fish and poultry Prepare stews and soups in advance, chill hem and remove the fat that hardens at the top Discard the skin of poultry before or after cook- ing.

Dairy Products Ice milk and frozen yogurt have less fat than ice S a"d;thjckshake have less fat than milk shakes, but there is usually no caloric saving because they contain considerably more sugar than ice cream does.

Baked Goods Most commercially prepared sweetened baked goods contain a lot of fat, and it is usually saturated fat. An exception is angel food cake A graham cracker crust can be made with less fat than ordinary pie crust. Slightly sweetened toasts gmgersnaps fig bars and vanilla wafers have less tat than cookies made with chocolate, cream fill mg or nuts. In place of fat-rich biscuits, muffins, croissants and butter rolls, choose sandwich bread hard rolls, pita bread L;ngish muffins Qr Fre� a Italian bread. Matzohs, toasts, breadsticks and crisps are low-fat substitutes for fattier crackers Popcorn without butter or margaine is an � ,cellent low-fat, low-calorie snack food. Soups Use skim milk to prepare cream soups. In restaurants, choose clear consomme or broth madnlene, or clear soup prepared with noodles' nee or vegetables.

'Same Time' Fails Continued from page 5 One such moment should have occurred when George announc- ed that his son died in Vietnam. His an- nouncement should shock the audience as well as Doris. It does not. It merely passes by as "oh by the way did I tell you that The gravity of this scene is lost somewhere. The au- dience, and seemingly George, do not ex- perience any pain, ex- cept the pain that comes with the realiza- tion that this was a poorly done scene. The production is horribly lopsided. What could have been an excellent theatrical event was, instead, a poorly planned and half-executed ordeal. The script deserves bet- ter. In short, the pro- duction left me wanting more � but not more of the same. Continued from page 5 One thing that even the most bankrupt of us can do in the sum- mer is watch television. Since the summers are often uncluttered with classes or work (or anything), it is a good time too for staying up until Rocky and Bullwinkle come on � and that's not until nine a.m. 1 learned while trying to type this piece that summer is the time when the university gets around to doing renovations. 1 also learned that the entire newspaper office here is getting a new ceiling that will have a storage attic above it. Further- more, I found out that the stairs to the attic are going to be in the same corner of the office that 1 work in, and that all the work is beginning today. The lines keep running off the margins on my paper since all the hammering drowns out the sound of the lit- tle bell on the ypewriter. The hammerers have adjourned to another room, so no, they haven't. Anyway, get- ting back to the sum- mer as a whole, this is also a good season for writing letters. Writing letters is not much fun for most people, but getting them is nice. The only people who would write to me are all in Greenville this summer, so I haven't been writing much, ex- cept to relatives. At least I get to keep the stamps for my collec- tion. I still occasionally get letters from different charities asking for money. I don't know why they waste their time asking college students for money; it seems something like going fishing in Death Valley. When the fall rolls around, there will be some things to miss about summer. It will take longer to preheat ovens, and it won't be possible to fry eggs on the sidewalk anymore. Although this practice gives you slightly dirty eggs, it saves electricity. If you have a teflon- coated car roof, it is a little better for cook- ing. I'll miss thunderstorms, too, since they are relatively scarce in the winter months. There was thunder and lightning last March when I was hanging my senior art show during that bliz- zard, but that didn't have quite the same ap- peal as sitting on the from porch during a nice relaxing summer thunderstorm. For those of you who greatly miss summer, there is one place where summer and its warmth and sunshine live on year round. It's those commercials with the beautiful young people who splash around in mountain streams drinking beer and soft drinks. Film Echoes Hitchcock Continued from page 5 calculating and frightening as the most thoroughly split per- sonality in a long while. Above all, however, 'Dressed to Kill" reveals De Palma, after a short lapse, as capable of moving from the esoteric fringe of the movie world to its commercial center without sacrificing the exuberantly anarchic spirit that first marked him as a director worth watching. "Dressed to K'll' provides moviegoers with the special satisfaction of finding a real treasure while prowling cinema's bargain base- ment.
