Payne reinstated as speaker By DOUG WHITE News Editor SGA Attorney General Kieran Shanahan ruled Monday that the removal of Tommy Joe Payne as speaker of the legislature was unconstitutional and that Payne is still legally the speaker of the legislature. Ron Morrison, elected speak- er after Payne's removal, refused to steo down roendina anneal of KIERAN SHANAHAN. SGA attorney general. Photo by Stotler) the case to the Review Board. The legislature voted to re- move Payne as speaker Feb. 6 on a motion to reconsider the election of the speaker made by Tim Mertz, dam legislata. On Feb. 13, Payne filed a petition with the SGA attorney general challenging the method by which he was removed. "Theonly lawful and constitu- tional way Tommy could be removed is through impeach- ment, and no formal impeach- ment charges have bene present- ed said Shanahan. According to the SGA consti- tution, to impeach and remove from office any elected student official, a legislator must present formal charges to the attaney general, and, if these charges are found to be in good order within the limitsof the constitution, then the attorney general shall form- ally present the charges to the legislature. Shanahan said that he re- searched the SGA constitution, SGA by-laws, and Robert's Rules of Order to determine whether a not the legislature had acted lawfully in removing Payne as speaker. Shanahan said that he also consulted with Dr. David B. Stevens, university attorney; James B. Mallory, dean of men; Former sect, of state speaks to Mode! UN By JULIE EVERETTE Assistant News Editor and MARC A OLE R Staff Writer Dean Rusk, former U.S. secre- tary of state, spoke at the Atlantic Coast Model United Nations (Model UN) Security Council gathering on campus last Friday. The purpose of the three-day meeting was to help students increase their knowledge of world a'ffairs by discussing current issues related to international peace and security. "The students are very much alive and well infamed concern- ing world affairs Rusk said in a news conference Friday. "They have a wide range of questions. I hope to help them discover some questions they will be facing in the next three decades, although I don't claim to have all the answers. "I have become strongly optimistic because of the confi- dence I have in this generation of students he said During the conference, Rusk gave his opinion on several current issues including the Mid- dle East peace settlement, the Panama Canal treaties , and Carter's faeign policy. Rusk believes from past ex- perience that the Panama Canal treaties could be easily ratified without the Senate drafting a formal amendment. "The only reason to have an amendment is to have matters clarified on paper Rusk said. "The Senate could make an understanding outside of a famal amendment by listing what they want clarified he said. Rusk said the understanding could be agreed upon by the government of Panama. This would avoid the govern- ment holding a national plebiscite on the treaty While discussing the Middle East, Rust said, "It is up to the two nations involved to design a settlement "I hope they take initiative in moving toward peace in that area he said. "The UN cannot act as peacemaker Speaking of the present White House administration, Rusk said I think Jimmy Carter is doing very well. I'm pleased that he is where he is. "I'm also pleased that Cyrus Vance is where he is "Vance will be a good Seae- tary of State because he is a fine See RUSK, p. 3 Dr. John East, political science professor; and Judith Donnaly, faculty senate parliamentarian. According to Shanahan, Robert's Rules of Order states that a motion to reconsider an act of the legislature cannot be applied to an elected official who is present and does not decline. "Tommy Joe Payne was pre- sent and did not decline when he was elected speaker in Septem- ber. Therefore, he cannot be removed by a motion to reconsi- der " said Shanahan. 'n response to several legisla- tors challenges to his authority, Shanahan refered to the SGA constitution which states: In all questions of constitutional inter- pretation and procedure, he (the attaney general) shall issue advisay opinions which shall stand unless questioned befae the Review Board. Shanahan said that he does not question the legislature's reason fa removing Payne, but that he does question the method that was used. Ricky Price, day legislata, read patiois of his transcript taken from tapes of the Jan. 31 Board of Trustees meeting. Price claimed that Payne lied to the legislature and implied that Payne had violated the Hona Code when he told the legislature TOMMY JOE PA YNE, speaker of the legislature.Photo by Brian Stotler) he did not represent them at the board meeting. "I was called a liar by Ricky Price and Alonzo Newby and I've played whipping boy to a body that acts as a kangaroo court said Payne. "When a legislative body acts as our SGA did Monday night, without giving the attaney general any aedibility and due respect that his position rnan- DEAN RUSK, FORMER U.S. secretary of state. News Bureau dates, then it is not a legislative body but merely a group of students out to better themselves at the student's expense said Payne. Payne said that he had no qualms about defending himself befae the Review Board and that he was na afraid to defend his actions should the legislature choose to impeach him. "I wish every student could see our almighty legislature in action because it definitely does not represent the student body. "I have never lied to the legislature and I've tried to the best of my abilities to be objective and fair. I have done no wrong said Payne. Suzanne Lamb, day legislata, termed the legislature's actions ridiculous and hypocritical. In a her business, Ron Lewis was nominated as Elections Com- mittee chairperson. That nomina- tions subject to approval by the legislature. Also, the representative from Greene dam submitted her resignation.

Trie latest award voted by the ECU Foundation board at- its February meeting brings to $110,000 the total among of Foundation funds made available to the Research Council. Dr. Joseph G. Boyette, dean of the ECU Graduate School and chairperson of the Research Council, said a 1977 grant enables funding of 43 research projects totaling $15,660. This, he said, "demonstrates a wide range of interests and needs supported by the Founda- tion through the Research Council The ECU Foundation began support of the Research Council with annual grants in 1970. Chancellor Leo W. Jenkins said on behalf of the Foundation that research and publication of research is a vital function of all great universities. "We are gratified that given such wide-based support through ECU Foundation, we are able to promote and expand research here to such a significant extent ECU has received a $28,000 grant from Texaagulf, Inc to monitor the ecological effects of Texaagulf is phosphate mining operation on the Pamlico River estuary. The funds will enable ECU to continue to stall the Pamlico Estuarine Laboratory near Aurora in Beaufort county where water samples are analyzed for phos- phorus and other nutrients. The purpose of the study, according to Dr. William Queen, Director of the ECU Institute for Coastal and Marine Resources, is to detect and assess any changes in water quality that may occur in the vicinity of the Texaagulf site. He said that previous tests conducted over the past 14 years have shown that the Texaagulf operation has not adversely af- fected water quality and aquatic life. ECU took over the operation of the Pamlico lab in January of 1975. Prior to that the lab, which contains an assortments of scien- tific monitoring apparatus, had been used by North Carolina State University. "We are very pleased with this arrangement Queen said. "It has provided our invest- igators with the opportunity to study the eoologicaJ processes of the river. This opportunity to study the eological processes of the river. This opportunity would not have existed if it were not for Texaagulf'ssupport said Queen Texaagulf mines phosphate ore from the lowlands along the Pamlico river and oonverts it into a fertilizer material. The phosphate deposits, es- timated to be more than 15 million years old, are among the largest in the nation. The oompany owns or leaaes about 500,000 acres of land in Beau fat County. Sinoe 1964, Texaagulf has funded over $500,000 in reaearch on the water quality of the Pamlioo River. RUSK Continued from p. 1 diplomat.

The study has made possible the collection of a great quantity of data on the enviroment of the Pamlico River Watershed. Brooks Whitehurst, engine- ering service manager for Texas- gulf, said the studies have generated reliable hard evidence which can be used to draw significant scientific conclusions about the ecological effects of phosphate mining.

According to Carolyn Fulghum, dean of women, Fleming Hall has been designated as the quiet dormitory with a wing set aside for no visitation. Understandably, many Fleming residents are upset. Upperclassmen, having had the privilege of choosing their rooms over freshmen, now have no guarantee that they will get certain rooms in other dormitories. Why was Fleming dorm picked to be the quiet dorm? Why not Jarvis or Cotten? Will the residents actually have the quiet that they want when concerts may be held on the mall this spring? Fulghum said the decision of what dorm to choose was a difficult one because she knew that no matter which dorm was picked, its occupants would be upset. However, the board of trustees agreed during its last meeting to have the request filled. Many other students are upset, because Fleming Dam won the Chancellor's Cup in Intramurals last year, according to Kay Belcher, the Intramural representative for the dorm. She said the dam had waked together and was "mae than just a dam Several students, acoording to Fulghum, request- ed an area of the dam fa no visitation, except in the lobby. A wing of Fleming dam will be set up fa these students. Whether a not the selection was made with consideratioi of the students is debatable, but these students are out of luck with regard to choosing their rooms and waking together as a dam. ECU students prefer old quarter system An infamal poll appeared in FOUNTAINHEAD's Thursday edition showing that ECU students prefer the quarter system over the semester system. The semester system was put into effect here Fall Semester 1977. Many students prefer the quarter system fa one reasai, because they could squeeze in mae oourses during one year than they can now on the semester system. If a student failed a course during the fall a winter quarter, fa example, he oould take it in the spring (if offered) and pass it (hopefully) and still graduate. Now, however, if a student wishes to repeat a course during spring semester and it is not offered, he has to delay graduation in ader to repeat the course in the fall. On the semester system, students have classes fa a much longer period of time than on the quarter system. Time drags by slowly, and students become baed with their classes. On the quarter system, though, time seemed to fly by, and befae one knew it, it was time to take exams and begin another quarter. The semester system does have its advantages, though. Students only have to take exams twice a year instead of three times a year. And they have to buy books only twice a year instead of three times, too. (Of course, new books had to be adered, and the prices were higher, so price changes didn't make much difference.) Of course, ECU had to change to the semester system because it was the only state school not on it.

It will not be their last. "Backgammon is an ancient and fascinating game, a gambling game which requires both skill and luck, according to author Paul Magriel, who wrote the how-to book, "Backgammon "With a single roll of thedioe, a winning psoition can crumble or a seemingly hop sitioncan be slavagea, Magriel contin- ues. This aspect of the game may well be responsible fa its grow- ing popularity here at ECU. Backgammon is a dice and board game for two players. It includes a board, two sets of 15 checkers, a pair of dice for each player, and a betting cube. Players move their checkers (men) around the board aocording to the roll of the dice. The first player to get all of his checkers around and off the board wins. The game is drawing new fans here on the ECU campus, accord- ing to Mrs. Letha Summerlin, supervisor of recreation at the Menrta hall Student Center Summerlin said students are now reqesting backgammon more often than any other board game. "I've been working since the center opened (1974) and, just since fall 1977, I've noticed students have really been asking for this game she said. Mendenhall has seven back- gammon tables. The local appeal of the game inspired Bob Glover, manager of The Line, a Greenville bar and dub, with the idea for a weekly tournament. The tournament is held every Wednesday night beginning about 9 or 930, depending on the number if contestants. Participants play to win two out of three games and the winner gets a free case of beer plus the fees collected from each partici- pant. The fee is$1. The tournament has been relatively successful with a steady growth in the number of players and now averages about 18 players a night, according to Glover. Glover feels the current craze may only be a fad, but it is hard to tell. "In a way it reminds me of the Mah-Jongy craze of the 1920s. The games are similar in that they both involve 50 percent skill and 50 percent chance. "Win big or lose big-it seems to be an intriguing idea to most people. "Backgammon is one of the few betting games that can be easily transported Glover con- cluded. Besides being easy to carry, backgammon is also easy to learn. Developing a winning strategy is the hardest aspect of the game. But this does not seem to bother most people. Axson Smith Jr manager of the J.D. Dawson Wholesale Cat- alog Co finds that it is hard to keep the game in stock. Last year's catalog had only one model. This year's has three, aocording to Smith. Smith said Dawson's sold out of all models during Christmas, but has ordered more. Most of the games are sold to people under 30, aocording to Smith. The nicer leather and felt modelsare priced at $34.97, while other models can be found at lower prices. The Gazebo, E. 5th St has also been selling the game at a rapid pace. "We have definitely been experiencing an increase in sales said Betty Barker, sales- woman. The Gazebo stocks three mo- dels priced at $14.95, $24.95, and $39.95, and all models have been selling well. "It's funny how so many people are crazy about the iputenty game Barker commented. "One fanatic visiting from Boone came in to buy a game said Barker He said he had one at school but had left it there. He wanted to buy another board because he couldn't make it through the weekend without a backgammon board EARTH Continued from p. 6 "Then, Christ will put the atoms back together to form a heaven and earth , in which only glorified persons without their sinful natures will live "There will be no more rebellion of man's will against God; only righteousness, peace, security, harmony, and joy ECTJ StliCltS pU�.

The use of the words 'Happy Hour' is a violation of the ABC laws of North Carolina. Many student organizations have been using the words in Flashes to publicize socials, rushes, and fund raisers.

"It has to be mostly specula- tion said Morgan. The key prophecy in the Bible, according to Lindsey, is that the Jewish people will become a nation again. Israel, asof May 14, 1948, became a nation again. According to Lindsey, after the rebirth of Israel, the Bible talks of a seven-year countdown which wiil mark the return of Jesus Christ and the destruction of the world. "This period will be marked by the greatest devastation that man has ever brought upon himself said Lindsey. "Man kind will be on the brink of self-annihilation when Christ sud- denly retruns to put an end to the war of warscalied Armageddon The Anti-Christ, believed by many to be alive now, will be the trigger of the seven-year count- down, according to Lindsey. The Anti-Christ will be a world leader who at some point in the future will sign a peace pact to end all fighting in the world. From the minute the pact is signed, the countdown will begin, As explained in the Bible, this Anti-Chr:st will be praised by the entire world for 1,260 days, according to Lindsey. The Anti-Christ will cause people to swear allegianoetohim, according to the Bible, and those worshipping him will be given a number. Several scientists who were interviewed for the movie believe this to have happened because of the extensive number system used today in the owrld. Such numbers include Social Security identification, and driver's lic- ense numbers, and many others. Lindsey claims the Anti-Christ will be recognized and, according to Revelations, the Anti-Christ's number is 666. The scientists interviewed for the film are working now with computers in attempt to find who in the world today has the number 666, according to Lindsey. The scientists enter famous names into the computer which trans- lates the names into the ancient Hebrew spelling. In Bibical times, when the Hebrew spelling was used, the letters also were the symbols for numbers, as explained in the movie. Using this technique, scientists can calculate people's names into a number. So far, no person 666 has appeared. A prophecy which is yet to be fulfilled is the rebuilding of the ancient temple of worship in Israel. The Bible states that the Temple must be built on the sopt where it originally stood. The probelm now, according to Lindsey, is that the Dome of the Rock, a holy place of the Moslem, now occupies the exact site of the temple. It is only logical, aocording to Lindsey, that the ancient temple of worship cannot be rebuilt until the Dome is moved. According to Jewish religion, as noted by Lindsey, the place of worship is sacred and cannot be moved from its location. Thus, the Dome of the Rock can only be moved by natural forces, such as earthquakes. "Obstacle or no obstacle, it is certain that the Temple will be rebuilt. Prophecy demands it said Lindsey. There are several other signs and prophecies in the Bible, some of which have already been seen. Natural catastrophes and the practice of Satanism and witch- craft are examples ated by Lindsey. Both of these were cited in the Bible as signs of the coming of Christ. "I make no daim of knowing exactly when the world is gang to end writes Lindsey. "In fact, I have never taken to the hills with my possessions and loved ones to await Doomsday. "I believe in a hope fa the future "In other wad Christ is going loose the atoms of the galaxy in which we live.

I believe in love, tender- ness and kindness; I believe in mankind These words were written by Leonard Nimoy, noted actor whooo-starredasMr. Speck in the episodes of the science- fiction television series "Star Trek His appearance in the Men- denhall Student Theatre last Wednesday night attracted a diversified crowd of "Star Trek" fans, many of whom were carry- ing "Star Trek" books or oopies of his recent poetry books. Nimoy began acting at a children'stheatre in Boston at the age of eight. It wasn't until he was 17 that he made a final decision to pursue acting as a professional career. At 17, he went to the Pasadena Playhouse in California fa additional professional train- ing. His first experiences in the movies were in "Queen For A Day � Rhubard "Francs Goes to West Point" "The Balcony and when he co- produced Death watch" with Vic Morrow. "The Overlard-Trail, ' and "Kid Men Baroni" (in which he held his first lead in a play) are others, but to name a few, of his endeavors. Before the showing of Star Trek Nimoy appeared in more than 100 guest roles in several television series. He received three Emmy nominations for his half-Vulcan, half-human perfor- mance as second officer of the Enterprise Spaceship in "Star Trek Upon the completion of "Star Trek" in 1968, Nimoy moved on to "Mission: Impossible play- ing many diversified roles fa two years. Afterwards, Nimoy reques- ted to be let out of his contract. The challenge that had nxrtivated him in the beginning had burned itself out. Trends When he was ready to return to the screen, he made ' Catlow' fa MGS, Three Faces of Love" fa NBC, "The Alpha Caper fa ABC, and received his first directing oppatunity on Rod Serling's "Night Gallery. Several of Nimoy's appear- ances on the stage include: "Fiddler on the Roof "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof "Visit to a Small Planet "Monserret "Six Rms Riv Vu and "Full Circle His most recent appearance on Broadway was "Eqqus the powerful drama in which he played the role of a psychiatrist.

After 21 years of pursuing a public career, Nimoy managed to retain his privacy by hiding behind the characters he portrayed and considered himself a "character acta Nimoy has often been referred to as "A Renaissance Man" because of his diversity of inter- ests and talents.

As a result of his wife's suggestion he began writing and printing personal poetry with his photographs. It was at this point in Nimoy's life that he realized there was no longer any need to hide behind characters he portrayed. The idea of publishing perso- nal poetry frightened Nimoy because it would be an entirely different type of exposure fa him. After his first book, You and I, was published, he realized it really didn't matter anymae. His readers were very recep- tive to the type of writing he had to offer. Nimoy expressed such feel- ings by saying we are all in search of universal relationships. "We need to be needed and loved. and he expresses these innermost feelings in his latest book, Will I Think Of You? Nimoy presented to be a " Renaissance Man Photo by Brian Stotler) several readings from his books, and it was envious by the response of the audience that his writings were well received. Appearing much smaller in person than on the screen and without pointed ears, Nimoy's appearance was witty, infama- tive. and deeply moving. He spoke on the topics of science fiction (with "Star Trek" being the faerunner of the craze that hashit film mdustry today), space technology (as the current, future trend) and the subject of "Mr. Spook and I Nimoy ended his lecture with a question-answer session, answering questions concerning the making of a movie "Star Trek (still in the planning stages) the pros and cons of his role as "Mr. Spook and his future plans.

But, having made up his mind early in life "to be a star, a a fireman" Andy undauntedly pursues this course. Directa Carl Reiner is in his element early in the film as he whisks Winkler through an array of conic scenarios: slaying his relatives with a singing recital, winning an ovation fa aie line in a college stage production, lead- ing an off-key sing along in a restaurant, and gaining a few gridiron guffaws, to boot. The remainder of the film is cinematic cliches, played with self-mocking triteness by the perfamers. Andy meets his "ate and oily as the schmaltzy theme soig says, in the persoi of Kim Darby.

Students may become mem- bers of the League of Scholars in one of two ways. Students who attend ECU on National Merit Scholarships automatically be- come members. Recipients of ECU Academic Scholarships also became members automatically until last year, when those scholarships were abolished. Now, according to the ammended constitution of the League, any student on campus who is receiv- ing a scholarsihp of academic nature is eligible to become a member. The League is presently informing students of their eligi- bility and considering candidates for membership. A petition pro- cedure is listed at the end of this article. This organization meets once a month for a short business neeting which is usually followed by a presentation by a League member, ECU professor, or an invited guest speaker. Lecture topics in the past few years have been International Student Pro- grams, Women's Rights, the ECU Counseling Center, approa- ches to Academic Research, ecology, and career planning. This past November, Greenville resident, Don Hartlaub, gave an interesting lecture on Creation- ism v. Evolution. In the fall of this year, Wie League of Scholars held a sympo- sium to discuss relations between the ECU Community, Campus Police and Greenville City Police. The symposium was considered a successful breakthrough in com- munication for those students and authorities who participated. The League is planning a symposium on tobacco fa spring semester of next year. Projected activities fa the remainder of spring semester include a bake sale on March 17th, a dinner meeting in Mach, an installation picnic in April, and Scholarship Weekend. Scholar- ship Weekend (April 15th, 16th and 17th) is a time when New courses offered in guitar and banjo such as tuning, playing positions, graduate of the ECU School of outstanding juniasand senias in the high schools of Nath Carolina and surrounding regions are invited to the ECU campus to attend various functions in ader to become familiar with the programs and oppat unities offer- ed to ECU students.

Then on Saturday night they were topped again by UNC; this time by only 3 points- 67-64. On Wednesday night ooaoh Bolton was oonoentrating on an aggressive offense. But the nationally ranked State took oom- mand of the game very early. They trailed only once in the first seconds of the game when Debbie Freeman hit the first basket. Then State's impressive Trudi Lacey made two goals putting the score at 4-2. State soon had a ten point edge on ECU which they held through the entire first half. With 6:14 to go State took their biggest lead of the first half with the score 30-14. The Lady Pirates looked good at the beginning of the second half. They soon brought the point spread down to eight. Quickly State pulled ahead even further. Lydia Rountree GAIL KERBAUGH LYNN EMERSON looked tough with a long shot that brought the point spread within ten points again. State scored; Rountree scored again. Once again this brought ECU within eight points. Sports State's lead widened to 21 just before the end of the game. State hit 62 for the game whereas ECU hit only 42 of its attempts. The Pirates out-rebounded State 31-30 despite State's height advantage. East Carolina's Rosie Thomp- son led the Lady Bucs' scoring with 22 points. Lydia Rountree had 13, Debbie Freeman 12, and Gale Kerbaugh 10. The Bucs' shooting was even worse in the ECU, UNC game Saturday night. The Lady Pirates shot 29 for the game. The Heels shot 40 which proved to be the winning percen- tage. East Carolina had a 49-34 rebounding edge but failed to make anything off of it offen- sively. East Carolina's Rosie Thomp- son was top scorer with 27 points. Debbie Freeman scored 20 points. UNC was 5 points ahead at the half (37-32). They managed how- ever, to keep a slight edge throughout the second half when ECU tried to catch up. ECU'S Swimming Team freshman Kevin Meisel sets record while tricking UNC-Ch Tar Heels The East Carolina swim team recently captured its biggest win ever, with a 61-52 thrashing of intra-state rival North Carolina. One of the most important contributors fa the Pirates in the victay was Winter Park, Fla. native Kevin Meisel. Kevin's father, Harry, is aquatics directa at Rollins College. As it turned out, Kevin played a key role in what ECU swim coach Ray Scharf later termed, "possibly the turning point of the meet The event was the 1000 yard freestyle. The favaite was ano- ther Winter Park native, and THE ECU PIRATE swimming team won a monumenh umph over UNC-CH earlier this Photo by Ron Woodcock record holder in the event, Ted Nieman. Just befae the 1000 was to get underway, Nieman came up with a plan, and infamed Coach Scharf of it. As the swimmers got in their proper lanes fa the event, the top UNC swimmer, who was counting on no wase than second plaos, was in lane four. Nieman was in lane five. Meisel was in lane seven. Nieman suggested to Scharf that they let Meisel go out as hard as he could, while Nieman kept a steady pace, just ahead of the Tar Heel swimmer, who could not see Meisel. The idea waked to perfection. Kevin won the 1000 yard freestyle in a time of 9 35.39, setting a new meet, pool, freshman and varsity recad in the process. Meanwhile, Nieman claimed second place, in front of a surprised UNC swim- mer, who never knew Meisel was in front. After the race, the rest of the team came up to the freshman to congratulate him on fulfilling his part of the plan. "I didn't know about the idea until after the race said a surprised Meisel. "My previous times were not really good enough to be a favaite, but going into the race, I felt strong He still did not realize what was going on, until the 300 yard mark. "That's when I discovered I was in the lead he said. "I was just out there swimming as hard as I could. When we reached 600 yards, I still felt strong, and knew it was all downhill from there Meisel then stated the fact that he didn't know he was close to any recads until he had finished. When I found out he said, "I went aazy. I thought I had done a pretty good time, but I never thought it was as fast as it turned out to be Kevin heard of East Carolina aiginally through a couple of ECU swimmers from his area, Steve Ruedlinger and Barry McCarthy.

Headed by Rod Compton, in his eighth year as director, the Spats Medicine staff has a competent trainer at every East Carolina athletic event. It matters not whether the event is on the road or at home. The main objective of the program, according to assistant director Jim Keating, is preven- tion of injuries and quick know- ledgable treatment of accidents that occur. Being a trainer has come a long way from the days where you just took a first aid class as preparation. East Carolina has a full athletic trainer's curriculum, the only one in North Carolina approved by the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA). "I remember nee taking 15 pages of nntp on jst the knee explaine Keating Foliowniy lilt curnujlum and passing it allows you to take the certification exam by the NATA. Keating proudly pointed out that no one at ECU had ever flunked the final exam. The progran here at ECU was initiated, as it now stands, four years ago. Graduate assistants from the course are now assistants at Michigan State, North Carolina State, at some Washington, D.C. area high schools and some have contributed on here at East Carolina. Athletes here at ECU also have at their disposal a team physician, aeurdogist, neurolog- ist, a bones and joint man, an ears, nose and throat man, a chest man, and everyone else down to their grandma's feeding them cough medicine. As a result of this careful preparation, East Carolina teams always have a low injury rate. While Keating is the assistant director in charge of men's sports, Liz White is the assistant in charge of women's activities. ECU also has a fine track record tor injuries in this area An ir ah, ne East Carolina athle � can ,uok forward to the highest pinnacle of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, offered in medicine today. . his isasa result c the efforts lie ECU Sports iVieoicine " irtnent.

Minnesota's Mike Thompson leads in current balloting for East-West All-Star basketball game After a slow start on the season and a stow start in the balloting, Mike Thompson has regained his Ail-American form to lead M innesota into the thick of the Big Ten Conference basket- ball race and has assumed the lead in balloting for a berth on the West squad for the Seventh Annual Pizza Hut Basketball Classic. The charity event, which pits the players fans elect as the best in the East against those selected as the best in the West, is scheduled for 1 p.m. PST, April 1, in the Las Vegas Convention Center. A major beneficiary of this year's game will be the National Easter Seal Society for Crippled Children and Adults. The game will be carried nation- ally on the CBS Sports Spectacu- lar. Thompson was ineligible for his team's first seven games, but has asserted himself as one of the nation's best centers and fans have responded to give him a narrow lead over West Texas State guard Maurice Cheeks and Kansas State guard Mike Evans among West candidates. Thomp- son has received 52,095 votes to lead Cheeks by fewer than 3,000 votes and Evans, the Big Eight Coherence's all-time leading scorer, by fewer than 4,000. Leading all votegetters, how- ever, is Indiana State's rainbow- shooting forward, Harry Morgan. Morgan has received 84,220 votes to elude candidates fa the East squad. His closest competitor is Bradley's high-scoring Roger Phegley. Voting for the NCAA and NAIA sanctioned contest will continue until March 6 at Pizza Hut restaurants across the nation. The top eight votegetters on each squad automaticaYy-receive an invitation to participate in the game. Players to fill two other spots on each squad are selected by representatives of the National Association of Basketball Coach- es. Voting leaders, by squad and rank: EAST 1.
