The board made the decision last week. SGA President Neil Sessoms, also a member of the board of trustees, spoke to the legislature on behalf of the board's decision. The proposal, presented to the board by Sessoms, provided for the immediate transfer of all appropriated funds and property currently in use by campus media from the SGA to the newly created Media Board. "What the proposal did was to create a non-political independent board funded directly from stu- dent fees said Sessoms. "The board will be composed of representatives from every major organization on campus. The board's function will be to set policy, appropriate funds, and select editors "All we did is to take the amount of money usually spent on publications away from the SGA and put it under the new board said Sessoms. "This will not affect funds for the transit system, the legal service, loans, a any other SGA service Sessoms said that approxi- mately three-fourths of the schools in the state have a similar board fa their publications. "Government oontrd of the funding of the press is totally against the ideals of free press as we know it in the U.S said Sessoms. "We told the board that the legislature did not know about UNC officials seek private legal counsel Offidalsof UNC, in an attetnpt to prevent the federal govern- ment from cutting off aid to the state' s16-campus system, agreed Saturday to seek private legal counsel. "Our defense of our rights must be prompt and vigaous said UNC President William C. Friday. The deasion to retain private legal counsel was recommended by the UNC board's planning committee at a meeting Saturday. The deasion fdlowed an announcement by Joseph A. Califano Jr of the U.S. Depart- ment of Health Education and Welfare, that he was taking steps that could eventually lead to the cutoff of all federal aid to the university system. HEW rejeded Nath Caro- lina's latest desegregation plan last week because the state refused to agree to a proposal that would shift academic programs to different campuses in ader to achieve a racial mixture of students in the UNC system. Friday said he plans to meet in Washington later this week with David S. Tatel, HEW'sdireda of the Office fa Civil Rights, in andher attempt to resdve the desegregation controversy. At the meeting, Friday defen- ded UNC's recad in radal desegregation and aitidzed the proposals by HEW. this proposal and would probably nd approve it, but they passed it without a dissenting vde any- way Sessoms and Vice-President Reed Warren said that one d their campaign promises last spring was to provide indepen- dent publications fa the stu- dents. "We have waked fa inde- pendent publications and have finally received it said Ses- soms. "Besides the fad that the students showed intaest through the opinion pdl said Warren, "it is inherently wrong fa the government to oontrd the press. To me, the issue d a free press is our maja concern. And in the term 'free press I induce all publications Treasurer Craig Hales ac- cused Sessoms of inoaredly citing the 3-1 opinion pdl at the board d trustees meeting. Hales said this incared dtation result- ed in the creation ot an indepen- dent press at ECU. However, Sessoms had oa- reded himself at the beginning of the meeting by saying that the opinion pdl showed a 2-1 prefer- ence instead d a 3-1 preference, as shown on the proposal fa an independent media board. Ses- soms also said the survey was an opinion pdl, nd a referendum. Legislata Ricky Price said the survey wasn't adequately publi- cized and wasn't valid in view d the fad that only 12 percent d the students vded. He said the survey was "illegal" because it was nd vded on befaenand by the legislature. As a result, he said he considered the referen- dum" to be biased "There was no legislature in existence at that time said Sessoms. "The opinion pdl appeared on the baJld fa eled- ing members to the legislature See LEGISLATURE, p. 7 NEIL SESSOMS, SGA president. Anderson lecture scheduled March 28 By DOUG WHITE News Edita The Jack Anderson ledure has been rescheduled fa Tues- day, March 28, at 8 p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center Theatre, accading to Dennis Ramsey, Student Union presi- dent. Anderson had been scheduled to appear in January, but the ledure was cancelled due to an oversight by Anderson and his booking agency. The program is presented by Committee and is free to students with their I.D. and adivity card. Despite the cancellation of Anderson's previous appearance it is hoped that everyone who planned to attend last time can attend this ledure. "We regret very much any inconvenience caused to anyone as a result of the cancellation. I might add that this is the only attradion throughout the year that has been cancelled and this was rescheduled, so I think that's pretty good track recad the Student Uniai Ledure Series Ramsey said. Quiet dorm established GREENILLE'S ANNUAL SNOW fell last mek. More photos pages 8, 9. Photo by Brian Stotler ByJEANNIEWILLLAMS Staff Writer A quiet dam with a section reserved fa no visitation will be set up next fall semester acceding to Cardyn Fulghum dean of women. The request fa a quiet sedion and no visitation sedion resulted from a survey on visitation pdicy changes that was circulated in men's and women's dams last 'all semester. "We have about 250 girl's names who requested a quiet sedion and several who wanted no visitation said Fulghum. "About 200 men requested a quiet sedion Fulghum explained that the quiet sedion would set up their own regulations fa quiet h.urs. Vidatas who don't obey the regulations will be moved out. "Andher sedion would be set up fa no visitation. In no way will this limit visitation hours in the quiet sedion Fulghum said. Fulghum said that only a small number of women requested no visitation. "We would have to fill the whde hall to have a no visitation sedion. We can't leave the rooms empty said Fulghum. Fulghum said that vacandes in the no visitation or quiet sedion might be filled by incom- ing freshman. Fulghun said that the biggest faeseeable problem was upset- ting the students who live in the Jam that will become the quiet dam. "We haven't chosen a dam yet. The dam will be considered oonstrudion-wise, location-wise, and number-wise, aooording to the number of people who request the quiet dam Fulgbjm said. " Right now we feel that one d the dder dams will be chosen Fulghum added. Fulghum said that the maja complaint about the current visit- ation pdicy on the survey was about the open door pdicy. Students favaed a dosed door pdicy. The survey also showed that a majaity d men favaed 24 hour visitation. Few women favaed 24 hour visitation, choosing instead to vde fa extended hours on WWJwf IUO.

W�fflPW 6 February 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 3 Inmate attends ECU on study-release p am ECU NEWS BUREAU ECU junior Jessie High is much like any other student on campus-clad in jeans and casual jacket. The tall, bearded black male attends classes here each day, with breaks with friends at the soda shop and periods of study between. But in the late afternoon, when other students head toward the dorms a downtown, Jessie meets a car which drives him back to prison, the Martin County Correctional Unit in nearby Wil- liamston. Jessie High is serving a 40-year prison sentence, but at the same time is acquiring an education through the state's study-release program. It was a curious chain of circumstances which brought High to ECU: from years of poor performance in urban schools, to being drafted and sent to Vietnam as a Marine, to months of drug and alcohol abuse, to arrest and conviction on a kidnap charge and then to three North Carolina prison units. High believes it was his imprisonment which made the change in a life that was going steadily downhill. "When I got 'looked up I thought and thought, fa days, weeks at a time, about what had caused me to be here he recalls. "I finally decided that it was my lack of education which caused me to go against the law. "I looked at my past and my present, and I thought quite a bit about my future Jessie had attended school in Youngstown, Ohio, until the tenth grade, but his school years were mostly wasted time, spent in bad company. "As early as the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, I usually went to school with a pint bottle of Puerto Rican rum in my back pocket, hidden under my shirttail, he said. "Since I did not cause any disturbance, the teachers more a less left me alaie. "When I dropped out of school in 1966, I was drafted and sent to Vietnam with the Marine Caps. The standards in those days were very low fa all the armed services, so they took me, even though my reading ability was barely at the first gra 'e level Befae Vietnam, Jessie was a heavy drinker, but had never encountered drugs. During the war, along with many other soldiers in the combat zone, he became a habitual user of narco- tics and had no trouble finding supplies of drugs in pill fam. He was wounded during his Vietnam tour and sent back tothe States, to Camp Lejeune, with a 90 percent physical handicap, from which he has since recover- ed. He did not stop drinking a using drugs, however, and after a wild weekend in Jacksonville, he and another Marine were arrest- ed, convicted and sent to prison. It was early in his pericd of incarceration, as an inmate at Central Prison in Raleigh, that he assessed his situation and deci- ded that education was the way out. At Central Prison, I tried to read everything I could get my hands on, and used to pester the other inmates to help me read even the simplest wads. After I improved my reading skills, I enrolled in every educational oppatunity available At Central, Jessie took several first-aid and paramedical training courses as well as a college-level sociology course offered through N.C. State University. "The minimum requirement fa the course was a high-school diploma, which I did not have. I was afraid they would realize this and take me out, but they didn't he recalls. "Later I took and passed the GED (high school equivalency exam and enrolled in a 12-month training program in X-raydark- room maintenance and techno- logy After four years at Central Prison, Jessie was transferred as an Hona Grade prisoner to the Polk Youth Center, where he was placed as a clerk in the Center's vocational program and as a dental assistant. A Polk counsela, Steve Rudi- sill, became interested in Jessie and got him in touch with several X-ray equipment companies who were impressed with his prison training recad. He received several job offers, one as far away as South Dakota, but since he was not eligible fa parole, he could accept none of them. Then Rudisill got him in touch with ECU. "East Carolina said I should be given the oppatunity to better myself through educa- tion, so here I am he said. Now in his third year at ECU through the study-release pro- gram, Jessie lives in a modular unit at the Martin prison with 24 other men. He finds the quiet hours after the others are in bed the best time to study. Among his courses here, psychology interests him most. One of his psychology professas observed that Jessie is "friendly and very popular" with his classmates, and is "often the first to stimulate discussion and class participation In his spare time, Jessie enjoys karate, and has found much satisfaction in practicing meditation and yoga. In ader to gain wak exper- ience, he has been a volunteer student assistant in several cam- pus departments, including the main library, the Division of Continuing Education and the Alcoholism Training Program. "When ! was growing up, I i-ever would have dreamed that one day I would be a student on a university campus ne said. "The benefits to me are many: learning, being with nice people and having the oppatunity to demonstrate what I can do. �My being allowed to oome here shows me that things are getting better in the prison system. It's a woiderful exper- ience This September, Jessie will have served nine years. Next year he will be eligible fa parole. Upon release, he would like to spend mae time with his mother and stepfather, Alfreda and Edward Canwell of Youngs- town, and find a good job. He might accept an offer to go into business with an Ohio trucking firm a seek a position in some area of X-ray equipment sales, installation a maintenance repair. Jessie High is the first eastern N.C. prisoner to participate in the relatively new study-release pro- gram and is the only one at ECU. He is living proof that ambition and determination to succeed can pull anyone out of misfatune and bad surroundings.

Califano, Jr secretary of Health Education and Welfare, has announced that he will take steps which could eventually lead to the cutoff of all federal funds to the University of North Carolina 16-campus system if North Carolina does not agree to a change in its desegregation plan. HEW rejected North Carolina's latest desegregation plan last week because the state would not agree to a proposal which shift academic programs to different campuses in order to achieve a racial mixture in the university system. Califano is out of bounds by threatening to cut off funds if North Carolina doesn't agree to adopt the proposal. HEW did not approve the desegregation plans of North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia, but it approved the plans of Arkansas, Florida and Oklahoma. Interestingly enough, Arkansas, Florida, and Oklahoma have only one traditionally black campus each in their university systems. North Carolina has five historically black colleges, Georgia, three black colleges, and Virginia, two black colleges. Instead of seeking to eliminate various academic programs in some schools, Califano should study the UNC system as it is and suggest changes which would improve the university system and help the students. According to UNC President William C. Friday, North Carolina has added 18 new academic programs to predominantly black schools since 1974. Friday has also said that even if a particular program in a predominantly white college were eliminated and transferred to a black school, the students would not necessarily attend the black college. Lt. Gov. James C. Green said Saturday in a eting of the North Carolina chapter of the American Institute of Architects that North Carolina light decide to give up all federal aid rather than bey the federal desegregation guidelines for the NC system. Califano seems to have overstepped his authority, rhaps President Carter should talk to the secretary xit the three states' rejected desegregation plans, rtainly President Carter should have an interest his issue, since Georgia is one state whose plan not approved.

TVS A BIRP, TT'S A PLANE . . fsio,TT's saow Forum Reader wants reporters out of gov't To FOUNTAINHEAD: With regard to the article concerning Alonzo Newby's attack upon FOUNTAINHEAD in the Jan. 31 edition; it is strange that Mr. Newby was not even quoted nor was any background given as to what actually occurred in the legislature meeting, but we did certainly get the reporters version of what was said by Mr. Newby. It seemed almost like a veiled attack by the reporter on Newby. In being so quick to defend FOUNTAINHEAD'S objectivity the reporter, Robert Swaim, neglected good journalistic fund- amentals by forgetting to tell us: what prompted Newby's out- burst, and what he was actually quoted as saying. If the reporter was not there, he should have asked Mr. Newby or non- interested witnesses (meaning someone not being the subject of his comments). Instead, we heard Reed Warren's, Doug White's and Charles Sune's opinions as to what they thought about those comments, whatever they actually were. Since no reader can be sure what Mr. Newby was really talking about, maybe we can assume he is correct. Why else would his version be exclud- ed? A great deal of talking has been done the past two years about how FOUNTAINHEAD needs to be funded independently so they may achieve this great, holy ideal of objectivity, since the present set-up leaves too many strings attached with politics at the other ends. It is strange how these folks claim to be objective when Robert Swaim was a past legislator at least, on the appropriations com- mittee. I' m unsure i f he remai ns a legislator. Neil Sessoms reported fa FOUNTAINHEAD last year but, at least, no more. I agree that publications should be independently funded. After all, what can be more objective than a reporter report -ing on his fellow worker and quoting him while they both defend their shrine? Let's get the legislature out of news reporting and news report- ers out of the legislature. It should be mandatory that FOUNTAINHEAD staffers can't be legislators or hold dual roles in theSGA and news publications. If such a situation occurred in the adult world, there would be instant cries of conflict of interest. Of course, our campus leaders do want to be adults someday, don't they? Sincerely, Roger William Greene P.S. Instead of taking all these petty, little, verbal scuffles and conducting them in FOUNTAINHEAD, why doesn't Reed Warren call a person's comments assinine to his face a call someone a chameleon to his face? I wonder who is most demeaned by these cheap shots? Most likely it is the students who are bored, and rightly so, by it all. Article focuses on conflict, not legislative business To FOUNTAINHEAD: I am writing this letter in reference to the headline article of the January 31 edition of FOUNTAINHEAD. The article was a recount of the, previous evening meetings of ,the SGA legislature. It mentioned only briefly, in the final two para- graphs, the actual business con- ducted by the legislature. The remainder of the article focused on the conflict petween a certain legislator and the officials of the SGA and FOUNTAINHEAD. There was considerable dust raised on both sides of the argument, however there was very little reason given fa the legislator's comment. I doubt that his statement was made without reason and I believe that a follow-up article is in ader. The reacters of this newspaper have a right to hear both sides of the case so that they may famulate their own opinions of the incident. In the future, it would prob- ably be in the best interest of all concerned that articles concern- See A RTICLES, p. 5 Forum 5 February 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 5 Reader describes relationship with father; hopes To FOUNTAINHEAD: I don't know what possesses me to write this, but I feel a need of expressing myself, and hope- fully a few will understand what I'm trying to say. I have recently lost a loved one I had learned to enjoy in more than one aspect. The most important role this person played in my life, wasthat of a father. As a youngster, I looked at my father as a person to fear because of his disciplinary manner of assuring obedience and conformity to house rules. Reasons for what I thought (sometimes) was too harsh punishment were kept to a minimum and to the situation at hand. Never did I hear the lecture about the formation of my charac- ter, which was for the best, because I never would have believed it, and chances are it would have bred resentment. In my younger years I never understood my father. Momma was the one to run to. As I grew older, I respected, and received a better understanding of my fa- ther. I first came to realize this(as a senior in high school) as I was riding with my father to a football game, I had never known how to communicate with my father, but during this ride, my father was the one to break the ice for me.

Along with this, I learned to love my father more deeply because it became an aJ I -encompassing love. It was no longer just a father-son love, it was the love of a person fa what that person is. Later, as I went tooollege, my time with my father became more limited and at the same time more precious and valuable. I looked forward to my visits home, whereas a youngster I feared my father. I turned to my father fa advice, but as a youngster I had run from him. As I grew older I learned a valuable lesson I had ignaed as a youngster. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Someday you will understand I'm glad to be able to say that I do, and that I was able to share that with my father while he was alive. My last visit home is the one I will have of the most pleasurable memaiesof my father. Fa three days we spent time together, talking and enjoying each other's company fa what was to be the last time. On the fourth day my father was gone. My father is gaie, as is the ctominant figure of my life, and left behind is an emptiness and sarow which wads are tco feeble to oonvey. The last good-bye is a feeble one which will continue to echo through my mind because the one it is intended fa is na with me physically to receive it. I hope that all those who read this get the same chance to appreciate their father as I did. His tomarow may soon be. Name withheld by request Legislator cites definition of objectivity To FOUNTAINHEAD: In response to FOUNTAINHEAD'S denial of being biased I would have to disagree. Just using the article 'Legislata Accuses Paper of Bias Jan. 31 as an example. First, Alonzo Newby's characta was attacked and he was accused of being a liar. Secondly, his side of the stay was not even printed. And Charles Sune was quoted as sayingcertain politicians in SGA have tended to lambast the paper when it ATTEMPTS to report caruptioi to the students This did not even pertain to Alonzo's speech because the paper had not accused Alonzo of wrong doing. He was challenging the object ive- ness of the paper, which I would like to point out. Being objective means not using wads as "assinine "ignaant "bias" a even "comments were without sub- stance It means to write both sides of a stay without taking sides, something which FOUNTAINHEAD can rx hon- estly say. I hope that the students can see through the paper's slander- ous and biased news reporting which is continually taking the side of ex-FOUNTAINHEADER Neil Sessom's administration. After all, FOUNTAINHEAD, the students pay fa this paper. We have a right to read objective, non-opinionated news repating. After all, if we wanted to read the repater's opinion on something we would turn to the editaial page. Thank you fa my voice. Tim Mertz Editor's note: Perhaps Mr. Mertz should reread the article in the Jan. 31 edition of FOUNTAINHEAD. The words "assinine "ignorant and the phrase "oomments were without substance" were quotes from various sources in the story. Mertz said that "being objective means not using words as "assinine "ignorant "bias" or even "comments were without substance Mertz implies that this newspaper said these words. It did not. Those words were direct quotes and the word "bias" was used in an indirect quote. ��.������ SUB SHOPS inGR�ENV1LL� and NAGS HEAD NORTH CAROLINA SpedalOffer Offer good Tues 7- Tues 14 50 c OFF On Steak Sandwiches Italian Sausage Sandwiches Deli Sandwiches Coupon not vaMd on deliveries Open Dairy 11am. -1am.

"Hey, what's that "Yage" Unless you are a connoisseur of exotic psychedelics, you pro- bably haven't encountered Yage- pronounced Yah-Hay-a vine growing in the Amazon rain forest and used by South American indians as a healing agent and narcotic capable of producing telepathic visions, vomiting, bril- liant hallucinations of tigers and naked women, and diarrhea. The vine is usually chopped into manageable lengths and can either be chewed a brewed into a liquid the cola of cappucino, with slight red and green high- lights. Peter Stafford, in his Psyche- delics Encyclopedia, describes the typical Yage process as, "drink a cup of it, vomit, have visions, drink some more, vomit, have more visions Vomiting and nausea occur within minutes after ingestion of the drug. Western consciousness of Yage was first recorded in the writingsof English explorer Rich- ard Spruce. In 1851, while voyaging on the Rio Negro, Spruce observed natives using the drug and eventually sampled it himself. For the next oentury, Yage was the province of anthropolo- gists and explorers who cata- logued numerous use of the Lawler edits sci-fi "Approaches to Science Fiction a new textbook edited by Donald Lawler of the ECU Department of English, is to be released this month by its pub- lisher, Houghton-Mifflin of Boston.

The opening cut, "Hot Legs comes dose to being a rock classic. The powerful three-guitar interplay is reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynrd in their prime, and is a welcome rarity in this age of saccharin Top-40 inanity. The only other decent track on the album's first side is the love-sick ballad, "You're in my Heart which includes some of the most tasteful guitar playing on any Stewart LP (Thanks to Fred Tackett's acoustic guitar work). The remainder of the album is boring filler. Especially bad is' Born Loose which contains so many allusions to other rock artists' works that it approaches plagansm. Ending in a travesty of the blues, the song collapses under its own weight. The only sensitive work on the album, "I Was Only Joking contains some introspective lyric poetry dealing with the self-defeating delusionsof youth, yet is merely a mature look at Stewart's adolescent mentality. Stewart has simply outgrown the character which he is trying to portray. Some rock musicians can remain the enternal adolescent (Townshend and Jagger, fa example) and get away with it. The teen-ager self-consciously practicing his "look" in front of the mirror has grown into a middle-aged coquet who thinks he's the cutest thing out of Scotland since the kilt. The album follows Stewart's ordinary formula: mix two a three air wave hits with one rock remake and at least four tracks of pure filler. While this is certainly the best assemblage of musicians to accompany him, Stewart's creative ability has degenerated too far to be salvaged. Gino VannellM Pauper in Paradise A beautiful soundtrack album for a tour film of Rome, if only Vannelli would sing everything in Italian. The album spans the spectrum of Gino's emotions, ranging from happy, universal love, to passionate love, to unsure love. Great, but doesn't this guy hate anything? Pour the London Philharmonic over a Mediterranean Jim Dandy, saute in Chianti and serve lukewarm. The result is the album�pure dinner muzak. If only Mamma and Papa Vannelli had owned a collection of Little Richard or Presley instead of Liberace and Percy Faith . . .

Dinner theatre: a bittersweet comedydrama The Mendenhall Student Cen- ter Dinner Theatre will present- ing Bill Manhoff's play The Owl and the Pussycat" on Feb. 9, 10, and 11, at 8 p.m. and on Feb. 12, at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served one hour prior to each curtain. Del Lewis, of the ECU Depart- ment of Drama, is directing. The "Owl and the Pussycat somewhat different from typical dinner theatre fare, is comedy with a serious underlying theme. This bittersweet play is often funny and painful at the same time, ranging from the very light to the darkly bitter. The psychooomedy has only two characters: the owla self-proclaimed intellectual, a would-be writerbookstore clerk, an observersnoop and the pussy- cat-a high school drop-out, a would be model actressprosti- tute, a tough-talking, street wise girl. He is quiet; she is loud. He is an intellectual she is ignoranf With such conflicting personali- ties, they are bound to fall in love-much to their dismay. Pathos is evident in their relationship and is most obvious in the pre-suicide colloquy in which the two postpone their joint felo-de-se feeling that they are not properly dressed for the occasion. Steve Wilford plays the role of the Owl and Michele Mennett is the Pussycat. Tickets fa the play are $8.b0 for the public and $6 for students and must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance. Tickets for the Sunday performance must be purchased by Friday at the Central Ticket Office in Menden- hall Student Center. W& SH PRESSBOX byCHRISHOLLOMAN Basketball blues The question that seems to come up more often when talking about sports on campus these days is "why?" "Why is a team so full of talent losing to teams like UNC-Ashevilie and a 3-14 Richmond team Why indeed? Well, first of all, let me say that I oertainly don't have all the answers. There can be alot of things that effect winning or losing. Such factors as the schedule, dose losses and coaching all have a definite effect on the players and how they will react to a certain situation. I have talked to many people over the past months to get varied ideas on the problems our team is facing. The themes which seem to crop up time and time again are the lack of defensive play, lack of respect for coach Gillman by his players and his whole attitude concerning the situation. Let me first say that I am in no way intending to degrade the players. We have excellent talent on our team and I don't blame them in anyway for what has happened this year. The players did what they were told until they stopped believing in what was being taught to them. This is part of the problem now. Some of the team members have lost respect for coach Gillman and I really can't blame some of them. Anyone near the bench of the University of Richmond game could hear Gillman chewing out his players for making mistakes. That's alright to a certain degree but the mistakes are something that should be corrected in practice. Degrading a player in front of his teammates and the fans won't help the situation and only hurtsthe coaches respect wth his players. From the game the other night it appears that respect fa Gillman's abilities as a coach are almost nonexistent. Can the problems of the basketball team be all Gillman's fault and nooneelses? It is hard to say fa sure but from what I have seen if any human coaching erra is involved Gillman would have to be blamed. After all he runs the whole show, doesn't he? His assistant coaches (ballboys) are referees at practice and nothing el�3. If Gillman would listen to his assistants he might learn something. Fa example, coach Billy Lee who famally coached at New Bern High School is noted fa his defensive coaching ability. In fact last year (his first at ECU) the Pirates had the lowest defensive average in the last three years, six points better per game than the previous two years. And Gillman oould certainly use some help teaching defense! This was evidenced by the game with Old Dominion. Out of the 59 points ODU scaed in the first half against ECU 38 came fron tap ins and lay-ups. This was done against a zoie defense! Our defense could use Lee's ability as a coach but he just sits on the bench wasted. Speaking of waste I guess the ultimate waste of taJent is Jim Ramsey. His list of aedentials is outstanding. He was the Metro player of the year (an award that Tony Warren of N.C. State received the year befae.) Last year Jim was hoiaable mentioi all-Southern Conference, all rookie team in the Southern and second team all-Southern Conference Tournament at Roanoke Va. At Cary High School he broke Phil Fad's recad in the Raleigh Times Holiday Festival Tournament scaing 39 points in one game. Fad's recad was 37. So the question goes on-why does Ramsey get little a no playing time with all of his talent and ability? He deserves much more than he is getting! Since he hasn't been used much this year at all. When he does get a chance toplay.Jim seems to try so hard he makes a mistake. When this happens Gillman pulls him out of the game as he did at Duke. His skills have faded on the bench. Besides Oliver Mack,who is indeed the superstar Gillman said he was,could use some help scaing in the game. Jim is a fine assist man vid could play point guard also. But as it seems fa the time being the alent waste will ooitinue. Ramsey is not the only player not getting his dues. Kyle Powers probably is the best pure shooter on the team besides Herb Krusen. If you doubt that check out his statistics against Duke a ODU. The whole problem seems to boil down to this. Larry Gillman has a team full of talented players that are eager and young. Yes, they are very young but they aren't so young that they should lose to Richmond with the year they are having a UNC-Asheville. The team is playing like they are being ooached which is peer. I feel, and so does most of the student body, that fa the good of our basketball program that a change is definitely needed. Let's hope fa a change of some kind at seasons end. UNC 6 February 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Pag 13 � � wns Pirates ByCHRISHOLLOMAN Spats Edita Last Thursday the Lady Pirates of ECU dropped a 64-72 decision to UNC-CH. The game which was played in Chapel Hill left the Pirates in second place half a game ahead of Carolina in the state division one standings. Fa the Pirates it was a frustrating night as an ECU team with superia talent was stopped by the unbelievable balance of the points.

At the line ECU was 22 of 33 fa 66.6 peroent while UNC finished with 16 of 25 attempts fa 64 peroent. The game came as a dis- appointment fa Catherine Bolton who expected a better perfa- manoe. "We are just totally inoonsis- tant said Bolton. "We seem to play well one game and then the next it looks like a diffaent team. The fact that Rosie was hurt didn't help usany. She didn't like the mask she had to wear and wanted to take it off. We felt it was best to leave it on however. She still wasn't afraid to mix it up however, as shown by ha 17 rebounds Fa the Pirates thae is no time to lull ova the loss to Carolina.

Come out and support the Pirates. Tar Heels. Four of the UNC players scaed 10 points, one 12 and another 8. It was more than the young Pirates oould oope with. Anotha problem fa the Pirates was an injured Rosie Thompson. The 5-9 faward had to play with a mask on ha face to protect a broken nose. It had quite an affect on ha shooting as she was only 8 of 28 from the floa. She was6 of 8 from the line howeva and ended up with 22 senia from Jacksonville, N.C. was4of 11 from the floa. She did have a good night on the boards howeva grabbing 11 rebounds. At the line Freeman was 2 of 3. April Ross also had a fairly pcor night shooting but she was the wrong pason to foul on this night. April hit 9 of 10 from the freethrow line and ended up with 13 points total. Gail Kabaugh was the only Pirate that had a good night shooting, hitting 6 of 9 from the Duke outswims!

We played hard The Pirates gave Richmond their first victory of the year on the road and prompted several unfriendly chants from the home crowd of nearly 3,(XX). Oliver Mack and Herb Krusen contributed their usual 30 and 18 points respectively but the porous Pirate defense could not contain the inside play of Miller Butler and freshman Mike Perry. Perry scored 30 points himself while Butler added 15 points and 13 rebounds. Richmond had averaged between 60-65 points through it's first 16 games enroute to a 3-13 before Saturday night. The game itself was close the entire night with neither team building up much of a lead. Momentum was often slowed by questionable calls of officials and calls not made. Onlooking fans were treated to a new type of game where a player can take three steps before shooting the ball and where it is permissible to ride piggy back; not to mention OLIVER MACK 25 scores 2 This week at Thurs.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga hit Greenville fa a rematch last night of a 110-102 overtime thriller in Tennessee; and the same kind of run and gun play was expected. Oliver Mack scaed 41 pants in the first outing and a big game will be expected from Mack again if the Pirates hope to stay close.

Something to watch will be the free throwing of Herb Krusen. Krusen currently leads the nation in free throw percentage, hitting 44 of 45.

State Monday Feb. 6 in Raleigh and then hosts Old Dominion Friday. Feb. 10 in Minges Coliseum. The Pirates, now 2-5 in dual matches this season, lost to N.C. State earlier 19-18 in Greenville. The Wolfpaok won four of the first five matches and held on in the upper weights to edge the Pirates. I think we suffered a letdown against N.C. State said ECU head ooach Bill Hill. "We didn't wrestle well at some weight classes that we probably should have won. N.C. State just has a good, solid team from top to bottom The Pirates will be without the services of Vic Northrup in the 177 pound weight dass. Northrup suffered a back injury last week in practice and will be out of the lineup indefinitely. However, Bob Passino, who missed the first N.C. match because of a knee injury will be back to wrestle at 118. Passino owns a 9-6 overall record. ECU's top performer in dual matches this season has been heavyweight D.T. Joyner. Joyner is currently ranked fifth in the nation at heavyweight by the National Mat News.

"After serving for one year with the Pirate Club, it was our feeling that Wayne could best serve our athletic program by being in charge of all promotions and sales, and not just those in the Pirate Club "Wayne has a great talent and enthusiasm as displayed throughout the previous year. We are all extremely pleased to be able to make this re-alignment of duties. This is just another step in the total growth and development of the East Carolina University atheltic program Newman came to East Caro- lina Feb. 1, 1977, from Myrtle Beach, S.C where he served as General Manager and Director of Design at Wayside Contract Interiors.
