the accompanying lack of "govern
mental experience" within a par-
ticular institution. Ajs a result, the
concept of "leadership training"
has become an increasingly impor-
tant one for student government.
Leadership programs directed par-
ticularly at the development of un-
derclassmen play an important role
in sUbilizing the influence of stu-
dent government. A number of col-
lege administrators have admitted
that it is more comfortable to place
confidence in a student government
that is reasonably certain of fil-
ling its graduating senior ranks
with well-trained underclassmen.
Student leaders, although aware
of problems and anxious to treat
?them, are generally UBmKting to
pause for self-evaluation and to
offer genuinely constructive self-
criticism. A Greek philosopher re-
lated that unexaanined life is not
worth living.
Student Government ? conceived
as an educational enterprise. That
because of the relatively short
period of college student life and
is, student government has a mor-
al obligation to care for all of the
student activities on campus. The
important thing is that whatever
student government does it should
do with a purpose. Is the trouble
that students are bored with stu-
dent governmentThe cure for
'boredom is the establishment of
goals.
Therefore the concept of "stu-
dent gobernment" is not an easy
one to resolve nor a simple one to
pursue. It certainly should be ex-
plored by the voters of East Caro-
lina College before the coming elec-
tions are held.
However, the hope is that you
will become familiar with much
that should be available to you
llhrough campaigns so that you
might aid in student government
and glean increased knowledge
with which to cast new light on
your campus government.

Voting Frauds Merit
Penalty For Cheating
The election- will run from 9:00
a.m. Thursday, March 28, 1963 un-
til 4:00 p-m. that same day.
Complete election rules will be
?posted in all dorms and in the Col-
lege Union and also in Austin.
The penalty for fraud or at-
tempted fraud will be the same as
cheating. The maximum penalty
is expulsion of the student(s) in-
volved. This is a violation of the
honor code and will be strictly en-
forced. Dean Mallory; Dan Wooten,
Director of Men's Housing; Dean
Tucker; Rudolph Alexander, As-
sistant Dean of Student Affairs;
and elections committee chairman,
Burke Stevens will be circulating
about the polls to prevent fraud
or illegal practices from being
committed.
Last year five boys went before
the Men's Judiciary. They were
charged with voting more than
once, using other students' I.D.
cards. They were found not guilty
due to insufficient evidence.
TV Interview
A TV and radio interview by five
panel memebers, asking the three
presidential candidates their views
on pertinent aspects of East Caro-
lina and certain vital issues per-
taining to the students, will take
place at 7:00 p.m Wednesday,
March 27, 1963. Students may
watch this interview in the Col-
lege Union, the Library Auditor-
ium, Austin 211, or Flanagan Audi-
torium.
After this television show, there
will be a reception in the College
Union for the purpose of letting
the students meet the candidates
and ask questions at length about
anything they wish to know.

GRAB-BAG COMMENTS
This issue of the East Carolinian is even more of
a hodgepodge than is usual, but we hope that by bring-
ing the elections and the candidates before the students
we can somehow induce them to vote on Thursday. This
space is going to catch all the things we couldn't include
in the rest of the paper and wanted to.
One comment: Why is there no rotating ballot as
in regular elections? There had been plans made for
one and then they were discarded, apparently at the re-
quest of some of the candidates. Naturally candidates
who were at the top of the ballot would not want to ro-
tate the ballot, but should these selfish considerations
have influenced the non-partisan Elections Chairman?
The most unfortunate thing about the elections
Thursday is that candidates for two of the major SGA
offices are running unopposed. All registered candidates
for Assistant Treasurer and for Secretary withdrew at
the last minute to leave these positions uncontested to
Larry Snead and Cathy Shesso. We understand that a
write-in campaign has been started for Carolyn Thayer
for Secretary and only regret that someone has not
started a write-in campaign for Assistant Treasurer.
Perhaps the people running can do the jobs as well as
anyone, but they should not be allowed to assume these
jobs unopposed in a democratic election.
Contrary to opinion, the decision not to publish the
results of last year's SGA elections was not Dean Tuck-
er's, it was the idea of the Elections Chairman, who did
it to "save candidates who received few votes embarass-
ment We believe that if a person wishes to run for
office he had best be prepared to face the facts just as
they are if he loses. The East Carolinian will publish
the results of this year's elections.
Absentee ballots may be obtained by students prac-
tice teaching by writing Burke Stevens elections chair-
man at the SGA office.
The social committee of the College Union invites
the students to come to an open house in the College
Union lounge this Wednesday night, March 27, at 8:15
p.m to meet the candidates running for offices in the
general elections, which will be held this Thursday.
Noel Tisdale and his CU social committee members
will serve as hosts and hostesses, serving refreshments
after the candidates have been introduced by Student
Government Elections Committee chairman, Burke Stev-
ens. Students are encouraged to come and meet the can-
didates informally.
STRADDLERS
Several years ago at the University of Missouri, a
young man quite adept at writing and speaking, became
angry over the elections on campus. The two candidates
running for the office of president of the student body
were non-committal and would not take a stand on any
ivssue.
As a joke, the young man demanded equal time on
the campus radio and gave a witty speech lampooning
the other two candidates. His platform was the "Do-
Nothing" Party. His slgan was: "We are not going to
do anything about a thing Because of his speaking
ability and wit and colorful campaign, he was elected.
It was found later, however, that he had never registered,
and was disqualified.
This frivolous treatment of elections is amusing on
the surface. A deeper probe showed that the students
voted on a basis of things entirely unrelated to the office
of president. The lion's share of the blame falls not on
the students, but on the two candidates who refused to
state what their views were. Their's is the blame for a
stalemate, for apathy, for lack of interest; and their's
is the blame for the outcome of that election. The stu-
dent newspaper probably should claim an equal share
of the blame for not forcing the candidates to take a
stand.
The East Carolinian has done this, and shoved the
fence-loving candidates off to one side or the other. Now
it is up to you, the student, to see who you are "for" or
"against

GOBLINS
Dr. Clinton R. Prewett, of the
psychology department stated his
views on the election. His comments
are as follows:
"One of the major issues con-
fronting both the students and the
candidates in the campus election
is (the absence of both an enemy to
attack and a positive goal to pur-
sue. When this situation exists
students frequently find it neces-
sary to erect fiercesome "goblins"
or to suggest phantom and illu-
STonary goals.
No longer is the idiom of partici-
pation in an election as a duty of
citizenship very .much motivation.
Students tend to be ego-centered
and the candidates would be well
advised to appeal 'to the students on
the basis of some personal need
being rniet or the thrill of the par-
ticipation.
Question: "Do you think there
are any motives or issues that
should be unimportant or irrele-
vant, that become important and
are a deciding factor in the out-
come of an election when these
issues should not have a promi-
nent place in deciding elections?"
Yes. Whether or not students
belong to a fraternity is unimpor-
tant. Whether or not he is major-
ing in one particular field is un-
important, and such other things
as political affiliation, church af-
filiation?a person's private world
of worship and coirelative attitudes
are not an issue in a campus elec-
tion. Also, it's not what's up front
that counts but what's on top that
counts. In other words, good looks
are not as important as good values
and good intelligence.
It is easy to confuse noise mak-
ing with discussion of relevant is-
sues and it is easy to confuse post-
ers and bilLboards with conscien-
tious thought about the purposes of
East Carolina College. Oatchy slo-
gans?"I Like Ike"?sometimes
have more vote appeal than they
should. It's the purpose of the pres-
ident of the Student Government
of East Carolina College to place
on the agenda the unfinished busi-
ness which confronts all the citizens
of the college community. Some-
times this will require personal
courage as well as intelligence
HISTORIAN
The position of Historian is con-
sidered by many as being- of little
importance. This, of course, is not
true. I would like to see a complete
history of the work of the next ad-
ministration written down and kept
as a permanent record to show fu-
ture students what one of the best
Students in the country has ac-
complished.
The person who holds tihis posi-
tion, or any other, should apply
himself to the best of his ability
to any task that comes before him.
I believe the S.G.A. needs willing,
interested, and experienced stu-
dents. We no longer need glory
hunters and do-gooders who quit
their position as soon as they are
elected and have won a popularity
poll. I heartfly beg the students to
study each candidate before vot-
ing and to vote for the best quali-
fied person. If I am elected I will
do my best to apply two years of
previous experience to serve the
students of our college.

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS
March 25. 1963
To the Editor:
It is a deplorable situation when
one looks at the S.G.A. elections to
he held this Thursday. I certainly
d not criticize the persons running
but am interested in knowing win-
more students do not vote. This is
one of the problems on our campus
where the need for voters arises
and the voters neglect this hard
earned priviledge.
Is this an example of the apathy
that prevails on the campus? Is
this the attitude that has brought
so many to the Registrar's proba-
tion list? Is this the attitude that
until recently prevented the organ-
ization of a Debate Team? If this
is the cause of even one of these
problems, then it is a great hin-
drance to those of us who are seek-
in? a LIBERAL education.
Why are the students apathetic?
Maybe they do not want to run or
vote against a fraternity brother
or fnend. Perhaps they have been
persuaded that this is the beet thing
to do-drop out or vote in favor of
a friend, but this increases apathy
m the loss of individual freedom.
Are students apathetic or disin-
ested because they feel that as
student they have little voice in
student affairs? Have YOU ever

Q?Why do you think students
should vote for you?
A?I think the students should
elect me because I have,
during the past three years
as an officer in the S.G.A
become aware of the com-
plexities and problems of
student government. My
experience has been a
great asset and I feel I
can lead, as president, bet-
ter than anyone else.
Q?(a) Are you oip to daite on
national and foreign
affairs ?
(b) If so, sum up concise-
ly:
1. The problem of the
secession of Ka-
tanga
2. The Presidents ar-
gument for the tax
cut
3. Who is McGeorge
Bundy?
A?(a) Yes.
(h) 1. I do not wish t

3. Bundy is presently
Kennedy's right
hand man in for-
eign relations. If
Dean Rusk resigns
or is replaced, he
may be replaced by
Bundy.
Q?What do you thinik of these
questions?
A?I feel these questions are
well worded, well pointed,
and very imperative. I be-
lieve the questions were
fair and that they will in
turn enable the student
body to get a better con-
cept of the candidates.
Perry
q?What are your reasons for
running?
A?My reasons for running
for S.G.A. president are
varied and many. First,
I am for the students of
BOC. On the whole, they
have not been represented
in the Senate; by this
statement I mean that stu-
dents are not represented
in the true sense of the
word. (Aft present, the S.G.
A. does not have the sup-
port and respect of the
majority of the students
on campus. I would like to
he a leading factor in
bringing the students into
a closer association with
the S.G.A.
Second, EOC is growing
by leaps and bounds. I,
along with many others am
tired of our being compar-
ed to other large colleges
and universities. I would
like to aid in establishing
our reputation, indepen-
dent of these comparisons.
I feel that the majority of
the students are ready for
a change in S.G.A. leader-
ship. I h?ve many Wees
and policies that I would
like to see put into effect
on campus. In the capacity
of ihe S.G-A. presidency,
I feel that I can best pre-

sent these ideas and po-
licies rto the students for
their consideration, and
deliberation. On the ap-
proval of the students, I
would then formulate these
ideas and policies with the
benefit of the students and
ECC in mind.
The S.G.A. presidency of-
fers a challenge in man-
aging student affairs, in
representing the students,
and in working with peo-
ple. I would like to be
given an opportunity to
meet this challenge.
Q?Are there any rules andor
. regulations that you plan
to abolish?
A?No.
Q?Exactly what proposals do
you have planned?
A?I am proposing:
(1) A two party system
at E.C.C.
(2) A Change from a sen-
ate vote to a popular
vote of the student
body on all major pro-
posed amendments in
the S.G.A. constitu-
tion.
(3) A re-writing of the
S.G.A. constitution by
a S.G.A. comimittee
with the aid of an
English instructor and
a lawyer.
(4) Withdrawal of our S.
G.A. from the Nation-
al Student Association
(N.S.A.)
Q?(a) How do you feel about
women's rules?
(b) Do you plan to intro-
duce any changes?
A?(a) There are pages and
pages of women's
rules and regulations
which say about the
same thing. I feel that
these rules should be
condensed into a more
definite code,
(b) Any changes made in
the women's rules and
regulations should
come from an S.G.A.
appointed committee
of women students.
S?Are you a leftist or a
rightist?
A?Slightly right, but far
from being an extremist.
Q?Do you think the admini-
stration has ?too much
power over the students?
(If "yes") What do you
plan to do about it,
A?No.
Q?'Do you think the judiciary-
disciplinary procedures
need changing? (If "yes")
Be specific.
A?No.
Q?Who in American politics
today do you admire the
most?
A?John F. Kennedy
Q?Why do you think students
should vote for you?
A?I am deeply interested in
seeing the best interests
of the majority of the stu-
dent body represented.
Q?(a) Are you up to date on
national and foreign
affairs?
(b) If so, sum up concis-
ly:
1. The problem of the
secession of Ka-
tanga
2. The President's ar-
gument for the tax
cut
3. Who is McGeorge
Bundy ?
A?(a) Yes, I believe I am.
(b) 1. The secession on
the part of the Ka-
tanga province has
di'suwified the Con-
go nation. The na-
tional advocating
reunification; and
Katanga is working
for a rule indepen-
dent of the Congo
government. These
factors have failed
to find a common
ground of appease-
ment.
2. I do not think at
the present time
that I am familiar
enough with his
argument to com-
ment.
3. I am not familiar
enough with Mc-
George Bundy to
comment.
11. Q?What do you thinik of these
questions ?
A?Most of the questions were
fair and to the point. Ques-
tions 1 and 9 were over-
lapping. In a campus elec-
tion I fail to see the im-
portance of questions 5
and 10 (b) 3?(Who is
McGeorge Bundy)
Bennett
1. Q?What are your reasons for
running ?
A?To return the student gov-
ernment back to the con-
trol of the students. To al-
leviate this "Carolina Com-
plex" present. We have
many things to be proud
of here at BOC and I
think it is time we assert
them.
2. Q?Are there any rules andor
regulations that you plan
to abolish?
A?No.
3. Q?Exactly what proposals do
you have planned?
A?To change the representa-
tion and purpose of the
Senate to make it more
representative of the stu-
dents.
4. Q?(a) How do you feel about
women's rules?
(b) Do you plan to intro-
duce any changes?
A?(a) If the women ap-
proach me with a specific
regulation they feel is un-
warranted or unnecessary,
I will do all within my
power as president to see
that their argument is
presented to the admini-
stration and I will back it
fully until it is repealed,
(b) No.
5. Q?'Are you a leftist or a
rightist ?
A?More left than rigiht.
6. Q?Do you think the admini-
stration has too much
power over the students?
(If "yes") What do you
plan to do about it,
A?No.
7. Q?-Do you think the judiciary-
disciplinary procedures
need changing? (If "yes")
Be specific.
A?No.
8. Q?Who in American politics
today do you admire the
most?
A?.Senator Smathers of Flor-
ida.
9. Q?Why do you think students
should vote for you?
A?I feel that of the candi-
dates running, I think that
I am the only one that has
the sincere interest of the
students at heart. I also
feel that I am the only
candidate for president
that is looking beyond
this year and to ECC's
future.
10. Q?(a) Are you up to date on
national and foreign
affairs ?
(b) If so, sum up concis-
ly:
1. The problem of the
secession of Ka-
tanga
2. The President's ar-
gument for the tax
cut
3. Who is McGeorge
Bundy?
A?(a) Yes, I believe so.
(b) 1. Katanga province
is the richest sec-
tion of Abe Congo,
and that may be
enjoyed by the Con-
go as a whole.
Their situation is
parallel to New
Yorkers not want-
ing to pay forty-
five dollars in taxes
to the government
and get a return of
only twenty-five
dollars. Katanga
does not want to
support the entire
Congo.
2. To stimulate busi-
ness.
3. I do not know.
11. Q?What do you think of these
questions ?
A?I am glad to see that the
paper is presenting to the
students the candidates
and their views, rather
than the candidates's per-
sonality. I think these
questions present a good
cross-section of the camp-
us issues which the stu-
dent body president must
be concerned with, plus
the international issues
which he should be con-
cerned with.
Answers
The answers rto the "quiz" are as
follows:
(1) (Katanga) Katanga, holds
the majority of the natural re-
sources and riches within its bound-
aries and does not want to snare it
with the rest of the Congo.
(2) (Tax cut)) To st&nulatt the
economy, following the reasoning
that if people have more money
they will invest it and there will
be economic growth.
(3) (McGeorge Bun4y) Bundy
is the president' special advisor
and is rumored to be the "real"
Secretary rf State. He advises the
president on matters of defense,
intelligence, and national and for-
eign affairs. (This information
has been in TIME and several other
magazines -in addition to being in
the newspapers recently.)

The purpose of this column is to
explain my answers to questions
No. 6 (Io you think the admini-
stration Has too much power over
the students? If yes, what do you
plan to do about it?) and No. 7
(Do you think the judiciary -disci-
plinary procedures need changing"?
IV specific). I feel this is neces-
sary since my interpretation of the
position of the office of President
may cause you to question my an-
swers.
When asked: "What proposals
do you have toward changing the
women's regulations? I answered,
"none this is true. The Presi-
dency is an executive position, one
which calls for coodination of other
branches of student government.
If any student comes to me with
a particular regulation, women's,
judiciary, domitory, or whatever,
and shows what he believes to be
justification for its repeal, I shall
do all within my power as a stu-
dent, and as President of the S.G.
A. to see that this proposal reaches
the proper authorities will all "de-
liberate speed" and with full "viga
Furthermore, I do not believe the
.Administration of the college has
too maieh power in student affairs.
The Administration is not account-
able to only us, the students, but
also to the Board of Trustees, the
General Assembly and the Gover-
nor. I believe they give considerable
thought before they overrule an
bc of the Student Senate.
But let bo one interpret the above
paragraph as meaning I shall be
a puppet for the Administration.
Anyone who remembers when I
proposed we join N.S.A. and de-
bated with the Administration's
n presentative knows that I shall
be no one's puppet; that I will
stand for the rights of a student
whenever that right is challenged,
regardless of the origin of that op-
position. I do believe, however, in
judging a suggestion as to how we
can better East Carolina on the
merits of that suggestion and not
on its origin, be it Student Senate,
Administration, or whatever.
I hope this clarifies any ques-
tions you may have with regard to
my positron toward the Admini-
stration, and any proposed changes
in the S.G.A. I am always open
for suggestions.
One final point, whether you vote
for me or against me, make sure
your voice is heard not only on
election day, but every day you are
a citizen of a country where vot-
ing is not jus a privilege but a
responsibility. Get in the habit of
expressing your views toward the
government which you live under
and democracy may be a little easi-
er for all of us.
Thank you for your patience,

In summation of the interview,
I have a few comments to add
with respect to the answers I have
given.
Question two (2): There are no
rules and regulations present that
I feel should be abolished; how-
ever, there are several rules that
I feel should be stylistically and
grammatically changed. ,
Question three(3): a. The tutor
system is too complex to describe
in tlie limited space T have here;
however, I will be willing to answer
any questions about it if anyone
wishes to ask me. b. The Honor
Council will be a council composed
of students elected by the student
council will be to trv those cases
involving cheating, stealing, and
lying. This council will differ from
the Judiciaries whereas the
juiciaries do not try those
lying are presented. The Honor
Council will definitely replace the
Discipline Committee, but there will
be established an Appeal Board.
I also want to see a system estab-
lished wherein the accused will
have the right to be defended by an
unbiased persxxn who has enough
insight and knowledge of the per-
plexities of justice. This council
will weigh the evidence submitted
and will recommend to the presi-
dent of the college suspension and
nr expulsion verdicts which is
another factor differing from the
judiciaries, c. The S.G.A. bulletin
boards will be constructed and
placed at four strategic locations
on the campus. These boards will
contain photographs, flyers, and
posters of the entertainers coming:
to the campus. They will also in-
fo rm the students as to what is
occuring (daily) on the campus.
Question four (4): b. The changes
which I have drafted are lengthy;
however, I believe they (if adopted
and approved) will lessen many of
the frivilous restrictions of our
coeds. One rule I want to see chang-
ed is that rule pertaining to the
restrictive 30 minutes after dormi-
tory closing. I feel this 30 minute
period should be extended for many
coeds have told me thirty minutes
is not enough time to prepare
themselves properly for the next
days events.
Question ten (10): I have no ex-
cuse for not knowing" the answer
of parts a and b; however, I did
state the truth and I did not at-

The Rathskeller takes pleasure in announc-
ing their special Friday afternoon opening.
The Rathskeller will now be open Fridays
from 2:30 to 5:00 for the purpose of raising
money for the East Carolina College Football
Uniform Fund. The Rathskeller will donate
ten cents on each purchase during these hours.
The management of the Rathskeller along
with the brothers of Sigma Nu hopes that
all students will take advantage of the op-
portunity to support their school and team.

tempt to rationalize or bluff.
Experience is not always the de-
ciding factor in an election! How-
ever, every voter should conscien-
tiously scan the qualificatons of
those running for office. The voters
will he subjected to the programs
of the incoming officers; there-
fore, they should take time to make
their selections.
I believe I have had ample time
to detect what the role of the stu-
dent government is on our campus,
for as president of my freshman
and sophomore class, as vice-presi-
dent of the ISGA this past year and
as president of the SGA during the
two summer sessions this past sum-
mer I have served the student body
from many angles. Past experience
such as being president of the State
Student Legislature of N.C. (an
organization composed of all the
student governments in N.C.) and
being chairman of the ring com-
n.ittee this past year have also
taught me the essentials in work-
ing with and for other people.
I want to have the opportunity
to serve as SGA president for
numerable reasons ? reasons too
ast and complex to write down in
this summary. I am not trying to

In commenting on the q ? na
involved in the interview, I should
like to make a deal and
certain issues. Concerning the NS.
I am actually advocating a
evaluation of the membership of
our SGA in this organisation. The

about the benefrta of ur belonging
to this organisation. If the bene-
fits of beloi giig are as few u
