Chief of police reviews recent campus crime
By JEANNIE WILLIAMS
Assistant News Editor
Three students were assault-
ed, none seriously, by a group of
males in three seperate incidents
Feb. 22, according to campus
police.
No arrests have been made in
connection with the incidents.
Campus police sad a male
student reported that while walk-
ing up College Hill Drive on the
night of Feb. 22, four whie males
in a car pulled up beside him to
ask a question.
The student said that one of
the men then got out and struck
him.
Another similar incident was
reported that night and a third
reported to campus police two
days later.
Francis Eddings, chief of
campus polioe, commented that
the incidents, although separate,
apparently involved the same four
men.
"There was some confusion in
the description of the car and
license by the witnesses. We
haven't been able to oome up with
anything yet said Eddings.
Several license plates were
stolen from cars in the area of
College Hill Drive on the night of
Feb.24.
Eddings said that the license
plates had been recovered and
returned and the persons res-
ponsible, ECU students, had
been apprehended.
The names of the students
were withheld.
In other incidents, several
articles of patio furniture were
stolen from the patio at Menden-
hall Student Center on Feb. 26.
Several vending machines in
the lobby of Wright Auditorium
FRANCIS EDDINGS, CHIEF of campus polioe.
were reported broken into on
Feb. 22 and merchandise taken.
No arrests have been made
according to campus polioe.
A student recently reported to
the FOUNTAINHEAD office and
complained that a campus polioe-
man broke into a car with a coat
hanger.
He said the policeman looked
inside then locked the car back
up.
Eddings said that he was
unaware of the incident and that
the student should call the
campus polioe and report the
incident if he has any questions.
A letter was written to FOUN-
TAINHEAD last Feb. 9 from a
group of women students from
Tyler dormitory who reported that
after waiting fa 20 minutes fa a
policeman to let them in after
hours, a campus policeman drove
past them and went on up the
Hill.
Eddings said that the officer
was responding to another call.
"Another offioer was dis-
patched to let them in Eddings
added.
SGA creates student employment service
By DOUG WHITE
News Editor
The Student Government As-
sociation (SGA) legislature creat-
ed a student employment service
at their meeting Monday.
This service is designed to
puts students seeking part-time
or full-time jobs in touch with
businesses looking fa student
help, accading to Ron Lewis,
SGA Refrigerata Manager and
ate of the aiginatas of the
program.
"We plan to set up a file of
students who need jobs, along with
the times and days of the week
they're available. Then we head
out and talk with local businesses
to see who needs help and put the
two parties in touch with each
other Lewis said.
Lewis said the plan probably
won't get off the ground until the
beginning of April.
The employment service will
not overlap the duties of the
Placement Office, since they only
find jobs fa students who are
graduating.
"Onoe it gets going, most
businesses will have fams which
they can send us when they have
an opening. That will save usalot
of leg wak and also make more
jobs available than if we had to
hunt them ourselves Lewis
said.
The program is under the
authaity of the SGA Seaetary of
External Affairs, Jerry Cox.
Both Cox and Lewis have been
waking through the Greater
Greenville Chamber of Commerce
and have received very good
response from businesses,
accading to Lewis.
Although no money la the
service has yet been appropria-
ted, backers plan to ask the SGA
Executive Council fa $100 to
cover printing oosts.
"On the whole, it's an inex-
pensive program. At the end of
the current school year, the
program will be evaluated and a
decision will be made whether a
not to continue it. Until then, I
guess you could look on it as an
experiment Lewis said.
Neil Sessoms, SGA president,
claims aedit fa caning up with
the aiginal idea of the program.
"I think this service will
benefit the student body immen-
sely. We can serve the students
with a relatively small expense by
initiating this plan. This is the
type of program SGA can sponsa
with almost no expenditures and
yet offer something to serve the
entire student body Sessoms
said.
American farmer's union
has roots in Alabama
WHEN SNOW TURNS to rain, spring must be on its way.
By FRANONE PERRY
ECU News Bureau
The recent aganization of an
American farmers' union, with its
urgent calls fa national strikes
and colorful tractacade demon-
strations, appears to be an
anomaly, but the American Agri-
cultural Movement is not without
precedent, says an ECU hista-
ian.
During the last decade of the
1800s, a similar effat was begun
by groups of farmers who were
dissatisfied with low ootten prices,
high railroad transport charges,
unfavaabie sharecropping, and
rental, tariff ana ta-ation
systems.
This movement in one state,
its causes and its effects are
examined by Karl Rodabaugh of
the ECU histay faculty in "The
Farmers' Revolt in Alabama,
1890-1896 a 120-page book
recently published under the
partial sponsaship of the ECU
Research Council.
Thae is a maja similarity
between the angry farmers of
Alabama and the American Agri-
cultural Movement of today,
notes Rodabaugh - a pervasive
feeling of powerlessnessagainst a
big oppressa.
Then it was an economic
system represented by railroads,
local tax ooilectas, cotton mer-
chants, landlads and a govern-
ment which did nothing to
alleviate the small farmer's
plight.
Now, it is an economic system
which can be control led by a
powerful federal government
whose regulations should
guarantee "parity said farmers
suffering economic loss.
"Any mass movement by
farmers is hampered by the
traditional independence of the
rural individual said
Rodabaugh
"Farmers, as a group, resist
even the best effats to aganize
fa any purpose

Professor researches possible existence of Big foot
ByRICKIGUARMIS
Staff Writer
A speech professor at EGJ is
researching the possible exis-
tence of Bigfoot.
Dr. Richard T. Keenan be-
came interested in Bigfoot in 197
after reading the book, "Tl e
Sasquatch File
"I kept hearing all the stories
about the Bigfoot said Keenan.
"When I saw "The Sasquatch
File I knew I had to read it.
"I've always had an interest
in the unexplained and the
unpredictable
After reading the book, Keen-
an learned of the Bigfoot Informa-
tion Center in The Dalles in
Oregon. The center is headed by
Peter Byrne.
Keenan traveled to Oregon to
interview Byrne. According to
Keenan, Byrne was once a big
game hunter, before opening the
center.
Byrne has since given up big
game hunting in order to devote
all his time to the center,
explained Keenan.
"He's dedicated the rest of
his life to finding the Bigfoot
said Keenan.
After interviewing Byrne,
Keenan himself began research-
ing the Bigfoot.
Keenan began hunting the
creature by first traveling to
several locations where the Big-
foot reportedly had been sighted.
Having never seen Bigfoot,
Keenan oontinues to research the
animal.
Keenan has done much read-
ing on the subject and also
receives "The Bigfoot News a
small newpaper published by The
Bigfoot Information Center.
Keenan said he had planned
to seriously hunt Bigfoot in
August, 1977, but was unable to
because of his job.
Keenan believes the Bigfoot
could very well be a missing link
in the evolution of man. He also
feels that it could be some kind of
caveperson.
"I definitely think there is
somebody out there said Keen-
an, when asked of the possible
existence of the Bigfoot.
I don't think all these people
(who have reportedly seen Big-
foot) could be operating under a
mass illusion explains Keenan.
Keenan presented a lecture
on the Bigfoot to his classes.
During the lecture he read
many eyewitness accounts of
those who have allegedly spotted
the animal.
One interesting account was
that of a man from Orleans in
1962.
According to Keenan, the man
was driving down a dirt road in
the rain when he suddenly saw a
"shaggy, orangutan-like appari-
tion of a human The man
passed the image off as a figment
of his imagination and crove on,
said Keenan.
Keenan said, the car then
suddenly went into a violent skid.
The man glanced into his rear
view mirr and saw a savage
looking face peering through the
window. When he looked again,
there was no sign of the animal so
he again passed if off as his
imagination, explained Keenan.
The man then came upon a
sapling blocking the road, said
Keenan. When the man got out of
the car to move it aside, he heard
something loud running towards
him, said Keenan.
The man turned and stood
face to face with the monster he
had seen twice before, according
to Keenan.
The monster never injured the
man but he did walk down the
road only to come charging back
at the man who tried to get in his
car.
The man finally made it back
to his car, said Keenan, but as he
was driving away he felt some-
thing holding back the car. Scon
the man felt no resistance on the
car and drove away never to see
the animal again, Keenan said.
The man promptly forgot the
experience with the monster until
he spoke toone of his friends who
mentioned he also felt a resis-
tance on his car that same night
on the same road, said Keenan.
Keenan explained that thou-
sands claim to have seen Bigfoot,
but no sighting has been definite-
ly confirmed.
"I want to go hunt for it (the
Bigfoot) again said Keenan.
Keenan plans to pursue his
research by back-packing and
camping in the Padfic Northwest
during May and June. He first
wants to contact several people
who say they've seen Bigfoot and
then wants to retrace their steps.
"The odds of me finding the
Bigfoot are remote concluded
Keenan. "But it will be fun
FARMERS
Continued from p. 1
In late 19th-century Alabama,
the state Grange, local Alliance
cooperatives, and even the state
Department of Agriculture, with
its proposals to organize farmers
under an Agricultural Society,
met with limited success.
"The crop limits agreed upon
by farmers' organizations were an
attempt to raise the price of
cotton said Rcdabaugh.
When the supplies were thus
limited, the leaders hoped the
resulting demand would bring
about an increase in prices.
"However, while some farm-
ers did cut back their cotton ccoqi
and their oats and corn, others
took advantage of the situation
and increased theirs. The final
outcome was an overall increase
in production
When their efforts to organize
production failed, the farmers
abandoned cooperative programs
and turned to "organized political
action as a means of finding
economic relief, he said.
A more active political role did
bring about changes, albeit slow-
ly.
As the focus of an entire social
and economic class, Alabama
farmers were able to turn around
the state's power structure, with
far-reaching consequences.
What does this suggest fa
today's farmers?
Rodabaugh believes farmers'
threats of refusing to produce
crops are unworkable, because
they are hard to enforce.
"Even if most farmers give at
least lip service calls for a
who can seize the advantage of
producing more and taking in
better profits
"If the American Agricultural
Movement perceives 'big
business' as the manipulator of
government on the local, state
and federal levels, they are not
alone said Rodabaugh.
"A modern alliance of farmers
with other groups who feel
economically distressed could

Little must be returned
Prison escapee Joan Little has claimed that she
would "be as good as dead" if she is returned from
New York State to North Carolina, where she escaped
from Central Prison in Raleigh Oct. 15.
Little escaped while completing a 7 to 10 year
sentence for breaking and entering. While waiting an
appeal of that sentence, she contended that she was
sexually assaulted by a white jailer, whom she
allegedly murdered. A North Carolina jury acquitted
her on the murder charge. Little was completing the
7 to 10 year sentence before she escaped and fled to
New York.
Governor James Hunt has declared that racist
charges made by Little against North Carolina are
"absolutely unfounded Hunt has said that Little
cites no evidence concerning her remarks, but that
"she just alleges
In a news conference last week in New York, Litte
said that North Carolina is "the most racist state
there is
Little was serving a term in a prison of the State of
North Carolina before the controversial, much-publi-
cized murder trial in 1975. If Little is allowed to
escape to another state and not finish her prison
sentence here, then it would appear that any prisoner
in any state could cross a state line in order to
discontinue serving his sentence.
If Little had been patient and had not escaped
from prison, she would probably be on parole now.
Rumors have it that she is pregnant. Could this be
another ploy fa sympathy to continue avoiding
paying her debts to society? How long will she be
allowed to slap justice in the face?
Little has received much publicity concerning the
infamous murder trial from women's activist groups
and black activists' groups. She was acquitted in this
trial, however, and she must be extradited to North
Carolina.
Governor Hunt has said that the state will
continue to "vigorously pursue the extradition of
Miss Little if fa no other reason than to discourage
other potential escapees who might think that
freedom lies just across the state line (The
Virginian-Pilot, Feb. 24).
Little should serve the sentence in the state in
which she was convicted. If any sense of a judicial
system is to prevail in this southern state, then New
Yak must surrender her to Nath Carolina.

More criticism on art reviewer's article
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
May I beat your dead
horse? Since counter responses
seem to be a vogue with
FOUNTAINHEAD, I would like to
share my opinion.
This dead horse to which I
refer is David Whitson's reluct-
ance to accept criticism.
In the Feb. 14 issue of
FOUNTAINHEAD, John Walters
presented a good case against
David Whitson's so-called
"review" of Nancy Holt's visual
presentation here in Greenville on
Feb. 9.
David Whitson, you are guilty
as charged. You failed to substan-
tiate your criticism of Ms. Holt's
presentation.
You chose to fill the greater
part of your "review" with
limited quotations of other view-
ers and an occasional quote of
Ms. Holt.
You did not write a review of
the presentation, rather you
reviewed the reactions of several
random viewers. You lacked
continuity.
Granted, Whitson, everyone
has days when their work is not at
its best. (I hope your "review"
wasacase in point). Yet I can see
no excuse for defending such
works. (Whitson does this is the
Feb. 21 issue, page 4, "Art
reviewer defends stand,
review)
In defending your "review
you write "Nowehere did I intend
amassbelittlementof women in
general Well, Whitson, the
next time you review the work of a
male artist will you prove that you
are not sexist by referring to the
artist as a gentleman artist? You
were blatantly sexist whether or
not you can comprehend it.
You were also accused of
making a "slur against the
reputation of the School of Art
On the basis of your "review"
and your defense of it, I must
assume that you are simply not
capable of making a oonsaous
political statement and therefore
cannot be rightfully accused of
being political.
By this action you affirm your
insecurity toward your writing.
Whitson, if you can't take it,
don't give it.
Sincerely,
Russ Nicholson
Relics must be removed
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
I am a sophomore at ECU
and a disappointed one, I might
add. it seems to me with all the
boring "ho-hum" news that the
social fraternities keep spouting
about how much they can help
you in life, then why can't they
help us in ecology?
Everytime I take the advent-
urous journey down the "hill" to
my classes, I see old and tattered
"rush" signs flying from the
trees like streamers in a used car
lot. This practice of littering is not
only a disgrace to our enviroment,
but it would seem to also be a
disgrace to the fraternities.
I think these relics of
Rushes" gone by oould be
removed just as easily as they
were put there. Perhaps the
removal of these streamers would
be a good project for a pledge
class to undertake.
I would hate to tr.nk that a
good body of men such as a
fraternity oould not handle a
simple job as cleaning up their
own mess. But if these men find
they can't handle this situation
involving everyone's ecology,
maybe the Boy Scouts of America
can.

Vet off Gillman's back
To FOUNTAINHEAD:
It is my opinion that
everyone should get off Coach
Gillman's back and allow him to
slavage what he can of the' 77- 78
season. Then he can concentrate
on recruiting and making the
necessary adjustments to make
the team a winner next year.
Rome was not built in one day.
If one will only stop to analyze all
the major oollegiate ooaches in
the U.S. today, you'd find most of
them had very shaky starts. It
took some two, even three years
to even hit a .500 season.
ECU has a very young,
talented team and a young,
talented head coach. Wc simply
need to sit back and ailow Coach
Gillman the chance to implement
his plan for success. Not to allow
that chance would be an injustice
too big to comprehend.

Outer Banks migrating landward
2 March 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 5
Erosion constant threat to IM.C. shoreline
By JULIE EVERETTE
Assistant News Editor
Those who own cottages along
the shoreline of North Carolina's
Outer Banks may one day sud-
denly find that their summer
beach houses are no longer
standing.
Erosion along the North Caro-
lina shoreline is constant and
there are no immediate or fore-
seeable solutions, according to
Richard Stephenson, professor of
goegraphy at ECU, and director
of the Institute fa Coastal and
Marine Resources here.
Stephenson said most of the
state's shoreline is eroding, es-
pecially in the Outer Banks
region.
Aooording to Stephenson, the
primary reason for the erosion isa
rise in sea level.
"Most erosion is due to an
increased rise in sea level. The
water level rises approximately
six inches every 100 years
Because of the rise in sea
level, the islands known as the
Outer Banks are migrating land-
ward, Stephenson said.
Another significant reason
for the erosion is storms, accord-
ing to Stephenson.
"Single storms can erode 30
or 40 feet of beach away within
hours he said.
According to Stephenson, the
beach along the Cape Hatteras in 1973.
shoreline has eroded approxi-
mately 25 feet a year for the past
150 years.
On Ocraooke Island, the ave-
rage rate of erosion in a 40-year
span is two feet per year.
"We really do not have
enough information to establish
whether the erosion rate is
inaeasing a not Stephenson
said.
"The shaelines are eroding
at a relatively rapid rate he
said.
Further, those who live along
the shaeline are in danger,
aocording to Stephenson.
"Every area has a high
probability of damage due to
either high water or high winds
he said.
"One stam could wipe out a
whole subdivision of homes
Stephenson cited hurricane
Hazel as an example.
"There was tremendous de-
vastation when hurricane Hazel
struck. There were not many
buildings that were not damaged.
"Since that year (1957), we
have tripled the number of
cottages along the shaelines
he said.
He also cited an example of a
cottage being relocated, but not
in time to avoid stam damage.
"It can happen pretty fast
Stephenson said.
Accading to Stephenson, the
last damaging stam hit the coast
"Htfels ana motels were
destroyed in the Nags Head
area he said.
"The longer we wait fa the
next stam, the greater the
probability that it will do a
tremendous amount of damage
Aocading to Stephenson,
most homeowners in the area are
aware of the danger to their
homes.
"Mae people are becoming
aware of it he said.
"The people are na warned,
however. They can see fa
themselves that the shorline is
eroding. There is evidence all
around them
Despite the fact that the
people are becoming aware of the
eroding coastline, they oontinue
to buy and build homes there,
accading to Stephenson.
"They apparently feel it is not
occurring very fast a that struc-
tures can be built to maintain a
improve the shaeline, "
Stephenson said.
"Homes in the area are in
very high demand, oddly en-
ough
Aocading to Stephenson,
there were about 450 homes along
the shaeline of the Pamlioo River
in 1951. In 1976, there were
1,300.
Stephenson strongly believes
that those whose homes are
damaged because of erosion
should na receive any state a
federal aid.
"I dot't believe in bailing
people out when they know thae
is a high probability of danger in
that area and they choose to build
there anyway he said.
"If they want to take chances
on building structures there, it's
their prerogative
"I do believe, however, that
it's all right i' they receive
govanment loans to get started
again Stephenson said.
Stephenson also said there is
flood insurance in the area.
"The designated flood areas
areoovaed by that.
"I feel sary fa some of these
people because I've heard num-
erous bad-luck stales
Stephenson said one man
spent his life savings to build a
beach cottage there only to return
to check cm it aie day and it
wasn't thae.
Stephenson said the erosion
problem has not hampered the
tourist industry.
"Since hurricane Hazel, tou-
rism is on the increase he said.
"Most of the stams occur
during the winta when tourism is
at a minumum
Aocading to Stephenson,
100,000 tourists spend an avaage
of $1 million a day on the Outer
Banks in the summer.
He said no projects are
underway to solve the erosion
problem.
"We have built a growing
field (jetty) which catches sand
and reduces the rate of erosion
he said.

'World-renowned ensemble' to perform
2 March 1978 FOUNTAINHEAD Page 9
Music festival features Speculum Musicae
ByLYNNBEYAR
Assistant Trends Editor
The ECU School of Music "all
chamber music" FESTIVAL '78
will commence on March 15 with
the arrival of Speculum Musicae,
billed as "the world's most
renowned contemporary chamber
music ensemble The eight-
piece ensemble will perform in
the A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall on
Wednesday. March 15 at 8:15
p.m and will hold a workshop
the following day from 8:30 to
11 JO a.m.
Speculum Musicae first com-
bined their talents in 1971 to
perform music of the Twentieth
Century, and made their debut at
the Public Theatre in New York.
Since that time, they have appear-
ed at the Dartmouth Festival of
the Arts in New Hampshire, the
Berkshire Festival in Tangle-
wood, and have won various other
appear ances.
These virtuosi were presented
in a formal New York debut at
Town Hall as a result of winning
the 1971 Young Concert Artists
International Auditions. The en-
semble also won the first Naum-
burg Chamber Music Award,
which gave them two conoerts at
Alice Tully Hall in Linclon Center
and the right to commission new
works.
Among the works commis-
sioned for Speculum Musicae is
Donald Martino' "Notturno"
CONTEMPORARY CHAMBER ENSEMBLE Speculum Musicae is
a wonder The 20th oentury composer could not possibly have more
eloquent interpreters
Trends
of the concerts at AlioeTully Hall
in 1973, and which also won the
by distinguished oomposer Elliot
Carter, entitled "A Mirror on
which the group premiered in one 1974 Pulitzer Prize. A song cycle Which to Dwell" was commis-
sioned for the ensemble by the
New York State Council on the
Arts and premiered in February
1976 as part of the Council's U.S.
Bicentennial Celebration.
The group has also been
conducted by Pierre Boulez,
former music director of the New
York Philharmonic, performing
his own compositions; has per-
formed in Linooln , Center's
"Great Performers Series and
has recorded on the Nonesuch
record label.
Speculum Musicae performs
an annual New York series and
has toured the United States,
giving conoerts in Chicago, Los
Angleles, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Louisville, and Buffalo
under the auspioes of Young
Concert Artists.
The FESTIVAL '78 commit-
tee, under the chairmanship of
Dr. Richard Lucht of the ECU
School of Music piano faculty, has
also engaged The New York Vocal
Arts Ensemble and The Beaux
Arts Trio.
The New York Vocal Arts
Ensemble, the Festival's second
attraction will be presented on
Thursday, March 16 in Fletcher
Recital Hall, also at 8:15 p.m.
The ensemble, which is com-
prised of four singers and a
pianist, has the unique reputation
of being the only professional
organization in the U.S. which
performs master works for solo
vocal ensembles from the 18th
and 19th Centuries.
This group will hold a work-
shop on March 16, from 3 to 5
p.m. and as with the Speculum
Musicae, both the workshop and
conoert are free and open to the
public.
The third event, The Beaux
Arts Trio, is oo-sponsored by the
Student Union and will be held in
Mendenhall on March 30.
In previous years, the Festival
has featured such distinguished
lecturers as Paul Hume, music
critic fa the WASHINGTON
POST, and renowned musico-
logist Barry Brooks. Last year,
the guest artists were the Amade
Trio and the Greenwood Consat.
Aooading to Dean Everett
Pittman, of the ECU School of
Music, "Thisfestival has been an
annual feature of the cultural life
on our campus since its inception
in 1962 and has not only enriched
the professional training of music
students but provided enjoyment
fa the campus and community as
well.
The FESTIVAL '78 committee
is oomposed of Chairman Dr.
Lucht, James Fager, David
Hawkins, Gladys White, and
Ruth Shaw of the School of Music
faculty, and music students Glenn

Vinyl Review
by David Whrtson
LeBlanc and Carr: Midnight Light
So you've heard Le Blanc and Carr's" Falling" on the radio, and
you're wondering if you'll like their premiere album-well, the answer
is yes, if you like the sounds of Dan Fogelberg, David Gates, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, Al Greene, a the Allman Bros. Band.
That's how diverse this dynamic duo's musical abilities are. They
manage to integrate the genius of calypso, reggae, southern rock and
roll, and soul into one cut or another on the L.P.
The oombined efforts of vocals by Lenny Le Blanc and lead guitar
and engineering by Pete Carr (the same combination of music and
technology which makes Boston's LP such a smoker) makes nearly
every cut on the album well worth listening to. The two exceptions are
"Desperado" and "Stronger Love a journey into the world of
commercial disco in which the pair seem as comfortable as two canaries
at a cat convention.
Hopefully, a later effort will produce a more unified, unique sound
fa the duo, who obviously have tremendous potential.
Album courtesy of Atlaptic Records.
Santana: Moonflower
From the fragile intoductory notes of "Dawn-Go Within" through
the energetic farewell of the" SavorTouissaint Overture" theSantau.a
band's new LP is more than a brilliant anthology of their work; it is a
testimony to lead guitarist Carlos Santana.
Santana's soaring lead guitar work reaches transcendental peaks in
the live sequences. During the medley renditions of "Let the Children
Play" and "Black Magic Woman the virtuso's impassioned
instrumental mastery gives new life to these Santana classics.
The scope of the album spans the continents, capturing a variety of
moods ranging from the awesome majesty of Moroccan horsemen
raging across the North African plains in "El Morocco" to the frantic,
mysterious tribal dance of the Zulu warrior in 'Zulu
Gone are the days of Santana's sterilely angelic association
with Mahavishnu John.McGlaughlen, yet his reverential respect fa
the celebration of life lives on.
Thanks to School Kids for the Santana LP.

Pirate's baseball season opens this Saturday at Elon
The East Carolina University
Baseball team, with memories of
last year's 30-12 record and
NCAA playoff bid fresh in their
minds, begins what is regarded
as the toughest schedule in the
school's history Saturday as the
Pirates travel to Elon.
ECU will undertake a 48 game
schedule for the first time ever,
with many of the top teams from
the region slated as opponents.
The Pirates face such teams as
South Carolina, the runner-up in
the College World Series in 1977,
Purdue, Madison, 1977
ACC season champ Clem-
son, North Carolina, N.C. State,
Virginia Tech, Maryland, and
other strong baseball schools.
"This is definitely the most
difficult schedule I've ever seen
said second year ECU head coach
Monte Little. "But since we are
independents this year, we felt
we had to win a lot of games while
playing an attractive schedule
Though the schedule is de-

manding, East Carolina does not
lack the talent to meet the
challenge. The Pirates return six
everyday regulars from last
year's Southern Conference
championship team, along with
the top two pitchers.
All-State and all-Conference
selections Mickey Britt and Pete
Conaty head the list of returnees.
Britt as a freshman last year
compiled a 9-1 reoord, with an
E.R.A. of 1.68. Hisonly loss came
in the NCAA Atlantic Regionals.
Conaty, meanwhile, finished the
year with an 8-3 mark and a 1.90
E.R.A. He led the squad in
innings pitched (90) and in
strikeouts (80). The Annandale,
Va. senior is using an extra year
of eligibility to pitch for the
Pirates again.
Elsewhere, another all-star
candidate returns at second base.
Pete Paradossi hit .319 last year
fa ECU, but is expected to
greatly improve upon that mark
this year. Speedstar Eddie Gates
is back for his final year, and will
be in rightfield. Gates set a new
school record last year with 23
stolen bases, and could well get
quite a few more this season.
Bobby Supel returns as the top
power hitter on the team, as he
led the summer circuit with 48
RBI's in 36 games. A thirdbase-
man last year, Supel will be used
at short in '78.
These top returnees are back-
ed by a solid group of newcomers
to give ECU balance and depth.
Several of the new arrivals
may step in and help right away.
Mike Sage, a freshman from
Virginia Beach, Va will step in
as the regular first baseman. He
was named the Virginia Beach
Sun Player of the Year in '77.
Louisburg Junior College transfer
Bill Lucas will probably be a
member of the starting pitching
rotation, as he was for the
Hurricanes last year. Another
Louisburg product, Max Raynor,
oould open the season as the
Pirates' leftfielder.
Overall, the Pirates have one
