Comedy opens tonight
By JAMES SLAUGHTER
A combination of some of
the merriest forms of clowning
that have kept audiences
laughing for 21 centuries, since
they first set Romans to
guffawing in the coiosseum in
200 B.C. is coming to the
Summer Theatre this week.
This is the musical comedy
.ailed "A Funny Thing
Happened on the Way to the
Forum " which brightened life
tor theatregoers in New York.

J lie girl. Philia. is the most

that she has already been

his return from some war or

ROMPING PLOT
The racy romp of the plot
follows Pseudolus as he piles
desperate deceptions upon
deceptions in order to arrange
matters satisfactorily for his two
masters, father and son.
And the old man's battleaxe
of a wife must be kept from
spoiling the fun.
The "chase" climax comes
when Pseudolus tries to keep
two characters disguised as

'No-knock' provision signed into law
By FRED CLAYTON
1 he controversial "no-knock"
anti-crime bill finally found its
way through both the House
and Senate last July 23. when
the latter voted 54 to 33
approval of a bastard version
known as the District ot
Columbia crime bill. The
measure was signed into law by
Piesident Nixon on July 30.
Failing in efforts to push
through similar anti-crime
legislation on a national level.
the administration and
Congressional supporters of a
hardline crime crackdown
settled for application to the
D.C. area alone.
Those of us who live outside
DCs borders are by no means
unaffected, for the bill is to
serve as a model for legislators
through out the nation. It is the
Nixon plan in micrososm. This
obvious intent was made even
more so by Attorney Genreal
John Mitchell, who made it
quite clear the measure
represented the national policy
of the Nixon administration
concerning crime. It is. in other
words, only the beginning.
NON-CRIMINALS TOO
It is Nixon's foot, more
truthfully. Mitchell's axe. in the
criminal door. Unfortunately
for the non-criminals of the
nation, their doors are also

simple. It permits police officers
to enter a dwelling, by force if
necessary, announcing neither
theii presence, identity, nor

legal sanction of a "no-knock"
warrant. The warrant itself is a
piece o paper that has been
signed and presented to the
officers by a respected member
of the bench. Before signing the
warrant, of course, the judge
must make a rather arbitrary
decision that evidence would
probably be destroyed, if the
officers conducting the search
politely knock on the door
beforehand.

Football horizon bright
for Pirates this fall
The football picture at East
Carolina is looking pretty bright
for the fall.
Not only have Mike McGee
and his "new look" varsity been
firmly established but another
organization the Buccaneer
Football Club has been
formed and Mike Lynch, club
president, reports satisfactory
progress to date.
Initiated in May through the
efforts of Chapel Hill's Don
Stewart, the club offers students
a chance to play contact
football without having to put
out the time it would take to
compete with the varsity.
ENTHUSIASM
Since that time, the
enthusiasm has grown so
tremendously that it looks as
though the club may field at
least 30 men this fall
Original plans called for ECU,
the University of North
Carolina, North Carolina State,
and a few other North Carolina
schools to participate in a club
league. However, reports
indicate that the club at State is
floundering and none of the
other clubs have as yet gotten
off the ground.
SCHEDULING
This may call for some
changes in the original
scheduling so that ECU and
UNC will have to play some
northern clubs such as
Georgetown and other schools
from the Washington. D.C. area.
The first game on East
Carolina's schedule will be
played October 2 against UNC
in Chapel Hill. The full schedule
has not yet been completed.
Both the Buccaneer Football
Club and the UNC Football
Club have progressed so rapidly
that each has attained official
university recognition
The primary roadblock East
Carolina's club has had to face is
the lack of abundant funds to
support the program. Lynch

By SHERMAN L. CHISOM
Throughout most of the history of higher education in the United States, the
relationship of college and university students to their various institutions has
been determined by the doctrine of in loco parentis. Literally . the phrase means
"in place of parents
According to College Law, a volume published by the Americanouncu on
Education, in loco parentis is "the power which officers of a college may
lawfully exert to restrict and control the actions of its students, based upon the
fact that in law. the college stands in the same position to its students as that ol
a parent in loco parentis and it can therefore direct and control then
conduct to the same extent a parent can
As a general custom, the concept of in loco parentis probably originated in
the'earlv ' English universities, where faculty members often owned the school.
Tom Hayden. writing in the Cohen and Hale anthology. The New Student Left
maintains that from these English origins the concept was brought to the United
States where it has been reinforced by the fact that higher education in this
country is most often controlled by either the state or orthodox religious groups
which place a high value on strict discipline and conformity.
In his article entitled "University - Student Relations and the Courts, which
appeared in Politics 70. an annual publication of the Political Science
Department here at East Carolina University. Dr. Tinsley E. Yarbrough notes
that the legal doctrine of in loco parentis developed primarily as a defense in
-tort liability suits against teachers who had administered corporal punishment
to grammar or secondary school students
COURT ACCEPTANCE
Courts accepted in loco parentis as an extension of the legal precedent
established in the case of Stevens v. Fassett (1847). in which the court held that
a parent had the right under the common law to maintain the order and
discipline of his child. According to Yarbrough, it was then assumed that a
parent could delegate to an educator that portion of his parental authority
deemed necessary to accomplish the educational objective. This doctrine,
together with what are commonly referred to as the "contract" and "privilege
doctrines, gradually came to be applied to higher education, thus giving college
and university administrators virtually unlimited authority in dealing with
students. .
The student became obliged to accept a high degree of administrative control
over his life in the university community (and often far beyond it), in most cases
without any pretense of substantive or procedural rights during and after any
possible actions against him In addition, there was generally no recourse to
judicial or other appeal in the event of conviction.
PRIVILEGE'THEORY
From the brief summary above, one is able to discern the basis of loco
parentis theory. Generally speaking, it assumes that in the event d conflict
between the student and the university, the administratoi or other official of the
university has absolute authority in dealing with the situation, and the student
is, for all intents and purposes, powerless to influence the eventual resolution of
such conflict
The "privilege" theory serves to reinforce this type ol relationship by
asserting that attendance at a public university is a privilege rather than a right,
thus the student remains in the university only so long as he does not abridge his
privilege to attend.
The "contract" theory likewise places the student in dependent status It
assumes that the student tacitly accepts any and all conditions placed upon him
by the university by the fact of his registration This type of arrangement is
described bv Dr. Yarbrough as a "contract of adhesion that is, all the power is
s
N,
m m
reserved for one party in the contract, the second party merely adheres to the
terms dictated by the first.
The most visible manifestations of in loco parentis on the majontj ol
campuses are the myriad of regulations on student behavio. which generally take
the form of dress "codes, women's closing hours, and provisions which give
administrators an absolute veto over all actions of student legislators.
Such provisions as these are examples of what lorn Hayden refers to as the,
"preparatory" theory regarding student-university relations. Preparation involves
the process of encouraging student participation in such essentially meaningless
activities as student government, which supposedly function as make-bebeve
models of the real world. In such situations the student exercises make-believe
"powers and may even pass "legislation" all of which is subject to veto by
various deans or other members of the university bureaucracy.
MORE THAN RULES
But one must not make the mistake of assuming that in loco parentis is
merely a set of rules which proscribe certain types of student activity It is much

counterparts in industry. As a result, we are witnessing the growth of what might
be termed an "educational industry The university is being restructured along
the lines of a large corporation, and the student comes to be regarded as a
product rather than a person, a product which is belched forth annaully into an
atonisphere polluted with hollow rhetoric about "keys to the future a product
designed to fit into the large machine that is know as "society Is such a
university a "community of scholars? It would hardly seem so.
UNIVERSITY BUREAUCRATS
The rise to prominence of the bureaucrat in the university, and the
development of the university as the chief training ground for corporate industry
has lead to some highly pertinent and insightful observations on the nature of
the administrative mind.
In his article "An End to History which appears in the New Student Left,
Mario Savio maintains that the university administrator has reached the
conclusion that history is at an end. Savio. the pioneer leader of the Free Speech
movement at Berkley during the early sixties, found that the unresponsive
bureaucracy with which he had to deal had apparently decided that the
university had reached the ultimate level of development. According to the
bureaucrat. World War II was the last event which was capable of catalyzing
change on any broad front, and with the development of the postwar
technology the United States could look forward to an era of material plenty
and self-indulgence by maintaining the status quo. both in the university and the
society at large Thus, Savio observes, it is necessary for the university to restrict
the exercise of whatever rights that might interfere with the development of the
technological millineum. ? . .
The student-product of such an educational system is notably lacking in
several important ways. The "Port Huron Statement issued by the Students for
a Democratic Society in the fall of 1962. takes note of a number of these
deficiencies It cites as the most important of these the isolation from reality
which results from the application of in loco parent principles to the
university-student relationship. Four or more years of "constant rehearsals do
re to adequately prepare the individual for life in the real world. While in
the umveristv. the student operates in a ventable wacuum, without the bene i
of SubTtantWe rights and the responsibility which accompanies them. Coupled
with this is the high level of specialization within the university which is

coubt you mean educating
people on the dangers of alcohol

Considering your college
audience, Mr. Mallory, you
should be more careful in the
words you use. "Effective
control" really means nothing in
itself, but it could mean many
things.
But back to the issue at hand.

context, this sounds pretty
much like a prohibition era

We are supposed to
"effectively control" alcohol
usage, but keep marijuana
labeled as a killer drug, class it
with heroin when we write
laws? In this case we don't
educate, but instead classify
users as hardened criminals and
throw them in jail with
murderers. With marijuana
education is not enough.
People experiment with hard

I know at least as much about
the subject as you) because you
force people into using hard
narcotics when your laws
catagorize marijuana on the
same level with heroin.
If you are emphatic against
reform and education
concerning marijuana, perhaps
you are prejudiced against
educating people on other levels
too. Perhaps "effective control"
is synonymous with repression
in your meaning after all.
Perhaps education isn't
important to you. I have learned
nothing from your letter, and it
doesn't even answer the
eflitorial as you said it would.
But it is an argument and it
could convince people to believe
what you say. How9 You have
