By-pass test system to be evaluated
By SHERRY BUCHANAN
SUM Writer
By-Pass tests are creating problems for the
University Credits Committee. Some of these
tests, administered to all incoming freshnvn. at
ECU. enable students to pass a specific course
and receive grades, hours, and quality points
without actually even attending the 3 month
class.
However, the problem has arisen that some
of these tests if passed, do not give students
university credit, or credit hours that could be
included in the 190 required hours for
graduation.
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
"There arc four different situations in which
a student can receive credit or take these type
of tests said Dr. John H Home, Dean of
Admissions. "Various reasons cause us not to
be able to Rive students credit for certain tests
Changes discussed
he continued, "but an examination of such
reasons is now before the Faculty Senate
The four different ways Home mentioned
that a student might try to receive credit
include the math bypass exam, the Advanced
Placement Examination, the Credit by
Examination, and the Exemption play in the
English Department.
"The math by-pass examination is given to
all incoming freshmen said Home, "and it is
equivalent to a final exam in a specific math
course, say the Math 65 course
Home explained that if a student pi-ses this
exam, or for instance, makes a A. he is given
full credit or 20 quality points, if they pay a fee
of $2 per quarter hour.
"We have to charge this fee said Home,
"but if a student is not satisfied with his grade
on the by-pass test, he simply doesn't have to
pay the fee, doesn't receive the credit and can
simply enroll in the class '
The Advanced Placement
test is an exam
given while the student is still in high school.
The test covers a count that has been taught in
the high school, but has been outlined by the
College Entrance Examination Board. In the
summer, students take this A P. test and receive
a score from I (low) to 5 (high).
According to the specific requirements of
individual colleges and universities, students are
given credit for these scores. ECU requires a
score of 3 or better for college credit to be
given.
"Although college credit is given under the
Advanced Placement lest said Home, "no
quality points are received. This test is
primarily for the high school graduate, who has
already had an equivalent courv in high school,
not to have to repeat a similiar course. He is
however, given the hour credit towards
graduation
STUDENT EXAMPLE
Home used the example lh.it If a student
? htaincd through
received a 5 on the A.P. test, he would receive 5
hours credit from ECU and thus be required to
complete only 185 hours for graduation from
this school
The third type of credit is i
Credit by I xamination
"This type of credit is for people who has
somehow gamed knowledge said Home, -but
we have no academic way ol rewarding it Sat
for instance a boy is in Germany in the service
for two years, and has consequently learned
and mastered the German language When he
comes to school here he is given the
opportunity to take certain level tests to tr)
and by pass German I and II. for instance Bui
he can only do this, if after conference with the
department head, it is decided that he is
capable of by-passing ihe course
If he passes the tesis again the studenl would
pay S2 per quarter hour credit for his grade
Home said.
The last form ol b) pas icsls are found in
the English Department. No credit however, is
given a student because theee u-sis fail undei
the category of exemption
These exemptions are made according to the
student's grade on the verbal section ol his SAT
score II a student scores 600 or more on the
verbal section, he is allowed to by-pass or be
exempted from I ngUah one (I), and so on with
exemption! aligned with increased scores
MATH EXEMPTION
Home explained that this type of exemption
WSJ not used in connection with the math
section ol the SAT because that was an
aptiiude measurement of logical thinking and
i Ot a specific proficiency test.
The problem has arisen because ol these and
other difference! in receiving university houi
credit
Di Joe Davis, chairman ol the Lniveisilv
Credits Committee, said he had received a letter
questioning this area and that the committee
would meet sometime nexf week to look into
the matter

Stan Writer
"I'm not saying anything that hasn't been
said before stated Dr Jenkins concerning the
restructuring of higher education.
But the issues on which Jenkins is taking a
land may prove to be an advantage in the
future of ECU.
In an interview this week. Jenkins stressed
recommendations made by the Council of
Presidents and emphasized several points from a
speech whihe he was to make to the Young
Democrats ?( :ur ? in Chapel Hill.
The main issue is money Jenkins said
"Like education should gel like money. An
algebra course here should gel the same support
from the state as any other IchooL"
He feeis that formula budgeting which
includes sjch factors as the number of persons
to be taught, the level on which they arc
taught, and what they are taught, would
provide an equal opportunity for quality
education.
Jenkins also feels that the formation of a
new central body would provide other
advantages for East Carolina.
"1 think we would get more out of it he
said. "When the issue of a nursing school came
up here, the State Board of Higher Education
voted it down without a study or looking a I
figures of any kind
He added that more research through
hearings and consultations should be .made
under a new central body. ???
"I think we would see more competition
between the Universities he continued. "We
need more of this
Would the Board of Trustees retain its power
under a .tew centril body? A majority of the
Council of Presidents felt that all power not
vested by law in the central body should remain
wiih the institutional boards, according to
Jenkins.
"I hope it will be functional Jenkins
stated. "There's a need for as much local
autonomy as possible
Would a new system of higher education
lessen the Trustees' and Jenkins vice ar.
spokesmen for East Carolina0 "It's our duty to
sell what we're doing here he said, "and I
think we'll continue to get a fair shake "
"There's not much hope for Sanford'l plan
he continued. He pointed out that a largeT
central body such as the one governing the
Consolidated University would channel all
action into an Executive Committee.
Such organization would lessen the broad
representation which the central body should
have. "A new central body should have more
blacks and represent all of the people of North
Carolina he stated.
"The two main points I'm concerned with
are formula budgeting and equal representation
on the central body Jenkins concluded.
Caused by budget cut
Playhouse stops productions
By LOWELLKNOUFF
Assistant News Editor
Plans for production of all plays scheduled
by the ECU Playhouse for this year have been
canceled.
Due to more than a 90 per cent cut in the
annual budget for the Playhouse. Michael
Hardy general manager, said "We could not
begin to produce even one play
$1500 was appropriated by the Student
Government Association to the Playhouse as an
emergency measure. This is intended to replace
the requested budget of $16,000.
According to Hardy $1500 would not be
enough to pay the royalites on "Fiddler on the
Roof" which would have been the fall
production of the Playhouse.
Hardy said "When I came here in June 1 was
told that our budget would have to be cut in
half for this season. We could possibly have
lived with that. We would have had to jui a lot
of corners and settle for some lesser
productions, but we could probably have made
it
"But on Sept. 2 he said. The SGA
treasurer told me that our budget was cut
completely

parents end
only three of the public's
that create an image problem
for REAL. Greenville's Crisis Intervention
Center.
"Oui greatest problem is really with the
community stated REAL co-chairman Holly
Brenner.
"When we were first getting started and
needed financial help a local civic organization
was talking with us to decide whether to donate
money to REAL One of our workers jokingly
mentioned that we dispensed free dope and
gave abortions in oui back room. Well as absurd
as the statement was. the civic club believed it
and we didn't get the money said Brenner
The idea that REAL is a center tor dope
dealings and illegal goings-on is a common
belief held by many of the local townspeople.
Miss Brenner referred to another recent
situation during a narcotics bust when the
agent's van came to the REAL house looking
for people and information. "Needless to say
they didn't get any help added the
co-chairman.
REAL has taker several steps to improve ths
community's attitude toward the organization.
Strict rules are placed on workers, a good
attitude is kept and open houses arc held for
the public to find out more about the
organization.
"Last spring we held an open house am'
invited 200 important local people to visit us
stated Miss Brenner. "Fifty people attended
and only two of those had received invitations.
The rest of the 200 didn't come
A similar incident involved questionaires
sent out to 200 area people seeking their views
on REAL Only ten of the forms were returned.
"So manv people in the community don't
have faith in us. They won't help us because
they think we're going to fail explained Miss
Brenner
REAL's main problem with its image on
campus stems from the student's question, "Is
REAL trustworthy?"
"All of the information coming into REAL
is confidential Miss Brenner stated. 'No
names are taken, no calls are discussed and only
REAL members can read the telephone log
book. We never turn a person or their name
over to the authorities
"Last year during the boycott when some of
the students were suspended REAL found
homes in the community where they could
stay. The administration at school called us and
asked for a list of student's names and where
they were staying but wc wouldn't give it to
them she added.
When asked to comment about the fact thai
people feel that REAL is operated by a bunch
of "do-gooders" Miss Brenner quickly
answered, "We're not a bunch of do-gooders by
? any means. We have problems like everyone else
but we still try to help others "
Closing, the co-chairman spoke of the
determination within the organization to make
REAL a success. "We're harder on ourselves
than anyone else is. There are special rules lhat
we have to follow. All of us have worked a long
lime with REAL and we don t want to see it
fold. We're doing everything we can to make
sure REAI works "
An appeal was immediately made ai I
specially called session of last scars SGA
legislature At that meeting ihe "emergency
measure" of $1 f00 was granted
"Thai amount will go to pay a couple ol
printing bills and to pay for postage for mailing
notices of the season cancclation Ilaidy said
The SGA legislature will hold its first
meeting Oct. 14 and Hardy said he woulu sk
them to appropriat enough money for some
kind of season.
Five plays had been scheduled for the
1971-72 se: jn "Fiddler on the Roof "A
Long and lappy Life" by Reynolds Price.
Shakespeare's "Much to do About Nothing
"The Hostage" and one other that had not been
decided on.
The most that can possibly be done now. if
money is appropriated, is four.
The money from the SGA pays no one's
salary with the exception of a guest artist once
and a while. It is all spent on royalties, material
for costumes, scenery and lighting, properties
for the production and priming arid publicity.
The work is all done by students and tomctimes
faculty without compensation beyond their
regular salaries.
When asked if there was any chance if the
Playhouse could become self-supporting, similar
to the ECU Summer Theater. Hardy said it was
unlikely. "Most college theaters which are self
supporting must do all popular plays in order to
attract an audience large enough. We prefer to
do a variety of things during our season, some
of which may not be considered 'popular
The lack of money will effect students
majoring in drama more lhan the rest of the
students Normal)) drama majors gain their
stage experience in the annual productions.
"This year they will be left with doing small
classroom productions and workshops Hardy
said
"It has always been grudgingly admitted that
the caliber of productions here at ECU is better
than at other larger schools in the South This
year of all sears we have one of the most
talented freshman classes and they have come
here because our department has built a name
for itself he said.
According to Haidy. the Playhouse never
receives subsidies from the administration The
administration pays the faculties' salaries and
pays tor the usual administrative expenses the
same as every other department receives,
nothing extra.
Hardy pointed out that supporters of the
Playhouse have been passing out circulars
telline of the situation and requesting students
to lei ihe leguiators how they led. "II the
students want a theater they should have one
he aid m
"We do have a natural concern about
ourselves within the department We also arc
concerned about the university in general.
Without activities for cultural enrichment along
with academic expansion this can become a
sup;r cow college, because there will be nothing
to recommend n to serious students he said.

Sex conferences to be held
By PATTI PAUL
Statf Writer
Accept il or not, wc are living in an age
accompanied by the "new morality Many
American colleges, in an attempt to educate
students in this area, have established clinics to
help young people come to an understanding ol
human sexual behavior. ECU is currently in the
process of taking a stand along with inajoi
colleges and universities throughout the
country
Whether the purpose of such clinics be to
inform, instruct, delegate responsibility, or
immobilize the spread of venereal disease; the
need has become evident and the call must be
answered
Sexuality conferences on human behavior
are being held on thi first and third Tuesdays
of each month at 7 00 p.m. in various places
announced on the Infirmary bulletin board.
The purpose of these clinics is threefold.
Studctns arc trained in the advantages and
jeopurdics of all types of contraceptives: they
arc afforded a chance to discuss moral and
psychological implications of birth control, and
can learn of sexual behavioral patterns. The
clinic is staffed with Infirmary doctors and
nurses, campus chaplins. and guidance
counselors.
Dr. Dan Jordan. Assistant Diiector of the
Infirmary, feels (he conferences are an
opportunity for "young people to attend an
informal question-answer rap session " Others
have different views. To prepare a studenl for
the sexual revolution, he must be capable of
reaching a private decision based on ihe facts.
Dean of Women. Caroline Fulghum, reviews the
conferences as important implements,
"whereby ihe individual involved exSfiiincs his
personal moral beliefs. The questions of birth
control and sexual behavior arc answerable only
by the individual
Dr. Harriet Woolen, Infirmary gynecologist,
feels the need to emphasise medical aspects of
birth control at the conferences. With venereal
disease rising at an alarming rate. Dr. Woolen
believes lhat medical repercussions of birth
control pills arc being neglected. As she states,
"birth control pills do not prevent venereal
disease
It was estimated in an October fourth article
from the "Raleigh News and Observer lhat
891 cases of venereal disease were reported to
date this year compared with 873 in all of
1970 The medical implications of
contraceptive devices are included in discussion
topics at the clinic.
Campus ministers are the most willing to
help with ensuing sexual problems brought up
in conference. Responsibility and values are
important components of the clinic Reverends
James Boswell and Daniel Ernhardt are eager to
see a re-evaluation of priorities in the
conferences.
I sscntial information pertaining to
contraceptive methods should be readily
available to all who desire it "After all
iemarks Reverend Ernhardt. information
doesn't cause babies
Involvement in the conferences requires one,
as Reverend Boswell so aptly stales, "to know
where his head is and take a responsible human
attitude toward sex
On March 2, 1971. the General Assembly of
North Carolina ratified an aci allowing minors
18 years of age to give consent for medical
treatment of venereal disease This law. in
conjunction with the dissolution of university
rules requiring parental guidance in use of birth
control pills, is an advance for advocates of the
sexual revolution. The Infirmary staff, guidance
counselors, and chaplins are here to help the
stuuentsof ECU
Dr. Takey Crist, Assistant Professor in the
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecokigy at
the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,
has stressed the need for sexual information.
Recalling a bill-board he once passed. Crist
remembered its message: "Self- confidence is a
virtue that should never lead to a single life. It
should be wedded to tireless energy in helping
others

Recently, several things have happened to
force my resignation ami my withdrawal from
school Since I .mi not gelling enough money
from m parents, I have had to struggle to sun
m school I was forced to borrow money from
friends lo pay my tuition for 1 all quarter. In
July . I began looking foi a ob To increase nn
chai.es. I had my ban cut twice. Since then, a
lot ol students have been hostile toward me foi
n I was told thai main students had voted for
was because I did not have a "c" average. This
was based on spnng quarter when I failed 3 out
ol the 13 hours I was taking However, these
courses did not count toward my second
degiee. In those courses, which I began in
summer school. I have a "c" average. And my
average in the four years I have been here is
above a "c" average Di Home said thai even if
I made two "as" and a "c" in the three courses
I am taking this quarter, I would be kicked out
of school. This would make me the first
undergraduate to my knowledge to flunk out of
school with a high "c" average.
Thus I cannot cope with these hassles with
the added buidens of my linancial problems. I
have no choice but to leave school and look for
a ob. full-time I regret having to make this
decision, but I can see no alternative
Before I leave, I would like to warn you
students of some things that may happen. First.
there are students in leadership capacities who
will attempt to use Ihe students for their own
personal gain. These people arc nothing but
patsies foi the Administration.
Second, the Administration is constantly
trying to Intimidate and repress studeni leaders
who work for the students Without your
support, of these leaders, the Administration
will succeed, and EZU will become once again
ECTC.
I do believe thai the students have a voice.
Howevei. it will be heard only if il is used long
enough and loud enough to wake people up
"Fountainliead" and "Open Mike" arc two
excellent ways lor students lo be heard.
Further, U the S.GA can get out of the

New fields ease job problem
ECU education majors are not as hadlv
affected by the national teacher surplus as they
mav expect
Dr. Douglas Jones. Dean of the 1.(1 School
of I ducation. is not as pessimistic about the
oversuppt) ol teacher, in America as many
other educators seem to be
I lie National I ducation Association (NEA)
predicts that the teacher surplus will double bv
the mid 1970s unless new jobs are created
"The situation is completely unlike anything
we have faced since the Great Depression of the
1930s says the NEA Research Department
Not only beginning leachers but persons with
above average experience and qualifications are
unable even to find vacancies for which to
apply "
Jones contends lhat a new classification of
teachers in new fields, such as safety and
occupational education, is in fact creating more
opportunities.
NEW AREAS
" There are many areas where people car
find fine teaching situations. To upgrade the
economic stains of Eastern North Carolina, we
must upgrade the number of salable skills sav
Jones. This is where occupational education
opportunities are important to North Carolina
Among other steps to combat the problem
ol teacher surplus, the field of safety education
has brought the attention of North Carolina
educators This held includes driver education,
drug education, and environmental education
a coining to Jones
I here are also opportunities in
administration and supervision in public and
p ovate schools Superintendents in Eastern
otth Carolina haven't found an ovcrsupnly in
teachers says Jones. In the future, it will take
main teachers to fill the vacancies left by
teachers with substandard certificates.
Jones says another greatly influencing factor
will be the new state guidelines which are
planned by the State Department of Education.
Teacher evaluation will be made penodically
during the first years of teaching, based on
competence and performance. Also included in
slate guidelines will be a program of more
personalized and individualized teaching, rathei
than the traditional hour lecture program.
At the present time. North Carolina has
"approved a program of teacher education
Jones says. "The new concepts of
competency based and performances based
programs will be built upon an approved
program in which North Carolina has been a
leader at the national level
Jones, a native of Eastern North Carolina
himself, proudly states that the enrollment in
the ECU education department has been
increasing, particularly in elementary and
special education.
NUMBER ONE
"ECU is the number one producer ol
teachers in quantity in ihe state and in the
South. We are in the top ten in the nation"
says Jones According to the January. 1971
issue of "Educational forum the most
difficulty in securing leaching positions exists
in elementary foreign language, physical
education, home economics, business
education, social sciences and music
The greatest teaching demands are in the
fields of trade, industrial arts, distributive
education, mathematics, science, elementary
and special education.
ALTERNATIVE
As an alternative to a teaching career, people
with education degrees have found employment
in public relations, business, and insurance
companies. Some businesses will train a person
with a B.S. degree for a particular job,
according to Jones.
He would still encourage anyone who wants
to teach to pursue the field. "Some principals
and superintendents in public school systems
have higher salaries than some college
teachers he says.
"Teaching is one of the most rewarding
privileges in life, other than parenthood. I
believe this very strongly. With enthusiasm and
desire, a well-qualified teacher has unlimited
ipportunities Jones stated.
Jones concluded by saying. "We have been
very successful with placement of our
graduates

WASHINGTON (AP)-The
Selective Service System
Tuesday lowered the lottery
number at which young men
can be expected to be drafted
this year to 125.
Previously, draft officials
had said young men whose
birthdays fell on the 140
lowest numbers foi this year's
draft probably would be called
up.
Draft Director Curtis W
Tarr also said today that men
will be given 30 days notice to
report for induction, instead of
the previous 10 days notice
written into the law.
That, means that no one will
be drafted during October to
fill the 10.000 man draft call
for the remainder of this year
announced last week by the
Pentagon. They will be drafted
instead
Dec. 9
between Nov.
and
In still another
announcement, Tarr said he
has directed local and appeals
courts to defer action on
classifications, personil
appearances and appeals until
nc- regulations on draft
requirement provisions are
drawn up
?'Because of the many
reform provisions in the new
law instituted by the system
he said, "it would be unlait mt
to extend these forthcoming
advantages to registrants now
facing classification of appeal
action
Court action could resume,
however, when new lules arc
distributed and become
effective in about six weeks.

He lias never negotiated an international

trustees chairman Lloyd C. Bost, the balladeer
helped a stranded family obtain a tire.
Bost reminded the college crowd that Cash
"is the man who donated $10,000 for a kidney
machine so a humble black man might live
TREATED KIDS
The country-and-western singer treated 150
poor youngsters to Memorial Day at the circus
and has remembeied the lonely aged with
(lowers and gifts.
Bost said the degree also was conferred "on
behalf of the humble and the poor, who are the
victims of drugs and alcohol, and thousands
locked behind prison walls.
Cash looked strangely out of place dressed in
an academic cap and flowing gown But he was
the same Johnny Cash as he looked out at the
hundreds of students and college officials who
often remain isolated from the day-to-day grief
of America's lower class.
PRISON REFORM
He said no prison reform legislation or
program is "worth two cents unless you care
And there were no 10-dollar words when he
reminded the audience that rehabilitation of
prisoners is often said to have failed when, in
truth, it has never been correctly applied
Cash sat silently by as Bost heaped praise on
him during the ceremony. The college officul
said Cash is active in the Evangel Temple
Church in Nashville, Tenn and has participated
in such organizations as the Peace Corps
Committee, the Georgia Sheriffs Boy's Ranch
and Hire Youth.
ANSWERED HELP
"He has answered thousands of lowly pleas
for help, never asking anything in return Bost
' said. For the many thousands of youths
caught up in the grip of drugs, Johnny Cash
brings a concern born of his own near fatal
experience with this pervasive evil.
"Only he and his God know how much of
his talent and fortune he has poured into this
CAMPUS SCENES: Fell cleaning? Whatever it is

FREE CONCERT
Cash gave a tree concert before the
ceremony for a crowd estimated at 10.000 to
12,000 cheering spectators He was
accompanied by his wife. June Carter Cash;his
mother-in-law: "Mama" Maybell Carter, and hit

Later, he and his family drove to Charlotte

ever presented at ECU
The award, a floating trophy, was presented
b) Dr Jenkins at a housekeeping staff meeting
at Garrett Tuesday afternoon The trophy will
stay in Garrett until next month when it will be
awarded again to the best kept women's dorm
Each month the winners will have their picture

displayed in the dorm. A print of the picture
will be given to each of the women on the
winning staff
The award was instigated by the Business
Office according to Julian Vainwrighl. assisted
business manager. He expressed hope that the
award will give the housekeeper's esprit de
corps. "It is also hoped that this award will give
the girls some incentive to help keep the dorms
looking nice Vainwright remarked.
The judging of the dorms is done by people
on the housekeeping staff twice a month. The
dorms are judged on the cleanliness and
orderliness of the outside entrances, trash areas,
halls, stairwells, lobbies, canteens, restrooms,
showers, maid's closets and social rooms. Each
area is rated on a scale from I to 10. The dorm

ANSWER Since 1930 most condoms hive been

known for its durability and long "shelf life "
Sold in hermetically sealed packets, condoms
should be good for about 5 years if upopened
and kept away from heat. Even heat does not

QUESTION My fiance and I pet very heavily

ANSWER There is no danger in what you are
doing, but unless I misunderstood your letter,
the frustration you and your fiance are
experiencing comes through clearly Petting to
climax is a safe and helpful lorni of sexual
expression for people who feel comfortable
with it. The couple who has agreed not to have
intercourse but who feel comfortable with
heavy petting can find that petting to orgasm
provides sexual gratification without the risk of
pregnancy Many people find Hiat the intensity
of feeling in petting to climax can equal and
even exceed that of Intercourse

The fine arts on campus are in trouble The
reason is simple. A seven-member board
decided this summer that economy was needed
in SGA pending, and that the Art, Drama and
Musis Department really don't need as much
money as they had been getting As a result the
fine arts departments are now running on hope
and meager funds scaped up from other
sources.
What does this mean to you. the student It
is tiue that these three depaitments represent
only a little over I Oft of the student enrollment
(about 1100) students, but this 10 provides
service for the other 90 through art shows,
dramatic productions, concerts, and recitals.
The lack of funds seriously cripples these
services. The Drama Department is not able to
produce 'Fidder on the Roof nor its
remaining line-up of top name plays. Instead,
the Playhouse plans a season of low-royalty,
low-budget productions. The Art Department is
unable to sponsor shows away from campus,
which would aid the prestige of ECU. Music
groups will not be able to plan tours which also
gain respect for ECU (such as the planned trip
to Tallahasee by the Chamber Singers for the
American Choral Directors Convention) This is
just a brief summary of the problems presented
bv Ihe SGA cutback.
In short, three departments which have
gained respect for ECU throughout the nation,
and which serve as the only center of cultural
activity in Eastern North Carolina, are sinking
rapidly because seven students decided that
they didn't really need the money.
What can you do to help1 You can show up
Monday. October II, at 5.00 p.m in the
Legislature Room, third floor of the Union
Annex Your presence at the Legislature
Meeting will demonstrate your support of the
fine arts on campus At that time it is hoped
that several budget proposals will be presented
which will give sufficient funds to operate these
departments.
Please, if you care about the fine arts at
ECU. conic to the legislature meeting Monday
at 5 00. You won't be alone
