'A Flea In Her Ear'
opens here tomorrow
in McGinnis Auditorium
"One of the funniest plays
ever written this is what
many critics say of George
Feydeau's "A Flea In Her
Ear a French farce opening
tomorrow in McGinnis
Auditorium.
The fun, according to
director Edgar R. Loessin, is in
the plot a classic formula of
mistaken identity and double
entendres.
Here's the way it goes: A
young wife has "a flea in her
ear' and suspects her
blamelessly square husband of
infidelity.
To catch him she has a
friend write him a love letter
from an unknown lady, making
an appointment with him at
the Hotel Pussycat.
Complications and ch? is
abound at the hotel as identites
are reversed and bedrooms
r. witnhed with everyone finding
htrnsef' in a compromising
position.
Major roles in the
production are played by Ben
Cherry, Barbara Simpson, Mark
Ramsey, Linda Taylor, Jim
Leedom and Sue Weisensale.
Tickets are now available at
the box office in McGinnis
Auditorium.

new ordinance that has been
termed "too broad and far-
reaching" by a local attorney.

Harvard blacks
capture building
About 75 black students
seized Harvard University's
main administration building
Friday, according to the
Associated Press.
Although some of their
demands will be met, they also
face disciplinary action.
The Organization for Black
Unity (OBU) which is made up
of various Afro American
groups at Harvard, led the
six-hour invasion.
An agreement was reached
between the blacks and
Harvard Law School Professor
Archibald Cox. It calls for the
establishment Qf a joint
committee of Harvard and the
OBU to see that more blacks
are hired in connection with
the construction work being
done at Harvard.
After the blacks vacated the
University Hall, Ernest R.May,

newsmen that he will

students.
He said their takeover

Nixon announces withdrawal
of more troops Christmas
ByJOHNM'HlGHTOWER
AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP)
President Nixon says he
intends to announce new U.S.
troop withdrawals about
Christmas time as part of a
plan he declares will result in
the Vietnam war ending, re-
gardless efforts for a negotiated
peace.
Nixon told a news confer
ence Monday night North Viet-
namese inftltiation into South
Nixon has 'no complaints'
Networks analyze Nixon
By JERRY BUCK
AP Television Radio Writer
NEW YORK (AP) CBS
wd NBC each had a brief news
analysis Monday night of Presi-
dent Nixon's first televised
news conference since Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew criti-
cized network commentary fol-
lowing Nixon's Vietnam
speech.
Nixon said in his news con-
ference: "Generally, I think
the news media has been fair
"I also will have no com-
plaints as long as the news
a allows, as it does to-
night, an opportunity for me
to be heard directly by the
American people and then the
television commentators to fol-
low me. I will take my
chances he said.
The President said he
thought Agnew had "rendered
a public service" by bringing
up the issue of network news
analysis. The vice president
said in a speech that he
thought the analyses immedi-
ately after Nixon's Nov. 3 Viet-
nam speech made difficult an
objective evaluation of the Pre-
sident's remarks.

University Party
meets Thursday
The University Party will
meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec.
11, in Rawl 130.
President John Cooper
invites interested students to
attend.
Vietnam has gone up in recent
weeks, but not as much as first
believed, and "we do not consi-
der the infiltration signigicant
enough to change our with-
drawal plan
He cautioned, however, ene-
my action still could cause him
to alter his view. He said the
number of American soldiers
to be pulled out in the next
round is still undecided. It ap-
peared Nixon wants further re-
ports on infiltration before
making a final decision. He
promised the announcement in
two or three weeks.
In his 30 minute session
with reporters, his first formal
news conference since late Sep-
tember, Nixon dealt largely
with Vietnam, including the al-
leged My Lai massacre. But he
also touched on domestic and
foreign policy matters.
There was an undisguised
threat to veto the tax reform
bill as written by the Senate to
include large increases in Social
Security benefits and jump in
personal income tax exemp-
tions.
Nixon also warned again he
will call Congress back into a
rare post-Christmas special ses-
sion if lawmakers' efforts flag
in acting on appropriations.
And he spoke optimistically
about the Soviet U.S. arms
control talks.
Nixon was asked early in the
session about the alleged mas-
sacre of Vietnamese civilians
by U.S. troops at My Lai in
early 1968.
"What appears to have hap-
pened was certainly a mas-
sacre Nixon said, "under no
circumstances was it justified

Bond advocates
political support
"Politics is aneglected way
of getting things done said
Georgia legislator Julian Bond
in a speech Sunday at North
Carolina State University,
according to the Associated
Press.
The Negro lawmaker told
students that splinter groups or
tnird parties can be an effective
political force at the local and
state level.
Bond cited the
predominantly black National
Democratic Party of Alabama
(NDPA) as an example. He said
the NDPA holds one county
seat in Alabama and "hopes to
gain control of 20 more next
year
The NPDA was formed to
oppose the Wallace-dominated
faction of Alabama's
Democratic party and claims
affiliation with the Democratic
South by playing "a Southern
strategy
Bond said the Spiro Agnew
is paying more attention to the
South than any other vice
president in history.
Bond, 29, earned national
fame when he was seated in the
Georgia state early in 1967
after a year-long fight in
federal courts.
ECU biologists
publish articles
Two Biology professors are
authors of articles that have
appeared recently in scientific
journals.
Dr. Susan J. McDaniel,
assistant professor, reported on
her work on the effects of a
parasite on its host in an article
entitled "Littorina littorea:
Lowered Heat Tolerance Due
tn C.ryptor.otyle lingua
It was published in the
October issue of
"Experimental Parasitology
Dr. Clifford B. Knight,
professor of biology, and Mrs.
Virginia Read are co-authors of
the article "Mlcrostratification
of Tomocerus (Collembola in a
Pine-Open-Field Continum"
appearing in the most recent
issue of the "Revue d'Ecologie
et de Biologie du Sol an
international journal.
Dr. McDaniel did the
research reported in her paper
at the Marine Biological
Laboratory in Woods Hole,
Mass. Her esperiments showed
that the snails that were hosts
for the larva! flatworms were
less able to survivie extreme
temperatures than were snails
free of the papasites.
The data reported by Knight
and Mrs. Read are the result of
a continuing investigation by
Knight into the biological
relationships of a soil-d ailing
group of springtails.

Massive disobedience
condemmed as a tactic
ASHINGTON (AP? A
bare majority of the Natione'
Violence Commission condem-
ned the use of massive civil dis
? edience as a tactic to change
- Monday.
? six-member mfnority of
the commission contended that
I disobedience when prac-
thout . olence, is per-
haps the only effective means
of overturning unjust laws.
We suggest the major I ,
said, that if in good faith the
:onstitutionality of a statute,
ordinance or a court decree is
to be challenged, it can be
done effectively by one indivi-
3 or a small group.
hile the judicial test is in
progress, all other dissenters
should abide by the law invol-
.ed until it is declared uncon-
stitutional
Desputing that arguement,
U.S. District Judge A. Leon
- gginbotham Jr. said, "If the
majority's doctrine of 'every-
one wait until xhe outcome of
ne individual test case'
had been applied by balck Am-
ericar; ? 1960's, probably
t one present major civil
ghts statute . iuld have been
enacted.
"I Uar that the majority's
position ignores the sad actu
history of some of the most
tragic 'legal' repression of the
civil rights of Negroes in this
country
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower,
chairman of the commission,
is on the minority side of the
q lestion. In a brief statement,
Eisenhower- who reportedly
tried hard to resolve the panel's
differences-noted that all
commissioners "agree that vio-
lent or coercive acts of disobe-
dience to law as a tactic to fur
ther a political goal, or to force
concessions, are to be condem-
ned as endangering the vital
processes of a democratic soci-
ety and its institutions.
"Where the commissioners
disagree he said, "is solely on
the question of nonviolent,
noncoercive disobedience to
law as a means either of legally
testing the constitutional
valid-
ity of a law, or of dramatizing
individual conscientious object-
ion to a law or policy- with in
all cases, willing acceptance of
any legal penalties imposed.
Minister supports

Opening days at East Carolina
By EDWARD BRODIE
East Carolina Teachers
Training School was to open
on Oct. 5, 1909, ready or not.
Work had progressed
steadily since the
groundbreaking the summer
before, and by October,
everything was readyalmost.
Furnishings were
incomplete, but the buildings
were up, the faculty was
selected, and the hostesses had
arrived East Carolina
Teachers Training Schoo' was
idy to open.
There were only six
buildings at that time: an
Administration Classroom
building, West Dormitory for
girls, East Dormitory for boys,
an infirmary, a dining hall, and
a lower-plant laundry.
Every incoming train the
day before, Monday, Oct. 4,
brought students in, and they
were greeted by someone from
the school.
One of the early students
later said of the arrival: "We
'Jot into a four-wheeled
fring-top phaeton at the station
and rode through town in
grand style! When we came to
the campus, we drove over the
rough driveway, crushing lime
barrels and mortar boards as
we went
A hostess was there at the
dorms to greet them as they
arrived.
Everything around them
was new the strong scent of
paint mingled with that of
fresh-cut timber to create the
"unused" smell that belongs to
new construction.
On the morning of Oct. 5,
the student body assembled in
the auditorium for the first
time.
President Robert H. Wright
conducted the formal opening
exercises, and gave a brief
address giving instructions on
registration, application for
books, classification, and
beginning work.
Registration, as one student
remembered, consisted merely
of "giving a history of
ourselves to the office A few
of the 123 students were
already registered, and needed
only to be classified.
There were three curricula
offered: a preparatory
two-year course open to those
who had completed one year
of high school, and a
professional two-year course
open to those who had
completed four years of high
school.
Also offered was a special
one year course open only to
those who held a first or
second-grade teaching
certificate. All three were
teaching courses.
Pattie Dowell of
Williamston was one of the
first students - in fact, she was
the first. Although there was
no accredited high school in
her hometown, she had
obtained a teaching certificate.
However, she decided that
she did not know enough to
teach, and wrote to Wright
when she heard ECTTS was
opening. Wright's reply was
quick: "If you will pay your
fees for the first semester now,
you may have the honor of
being the first to register
Miss Dowell was the first of
many thousands to enroll at
East Carolina.
"In a remarkably short
time, the teachers had sized up
the situation and we were set
off as A, B, and C classes, and
the work was assigned wrote
Vada Highsmith, historian for
the first class.
It was first planned to have
the public celebration and
inauguration of President
Wright in connection with the
opening of the school. Owing
to an incompleteness of
furnishings, however, this was
deferred until Nov. 12.
In the meantime, classes
began on Thursday, Oct. 7. "It
was real work from the very
first Miss Highsmith wrote.
"Despite the fact that we had
no desks except benches
borrowed from churches, no
lights except small oil lamps,
no maps, and no blackboards,
the work went 'straight ahead
like Mr. Frazier and his mules
But all was not work. "We
had merry times fixing up our
new rooms, selecting closet
curtains, and getting
acquainted she wrote. "We
were all green together, so of
course, the greatest harmony
prevailed
A major topic of discussion
early in the year was the fact
that there were no rules.
Wright wanted to begin with a
clean slate, and rules would be
written only when necessary.
Alas said Miss
Highsmith, "they were
necessary, and all too soon.
Until Dec. 6, we had no lights
to give us the wink, and it was
found that some girls did not
know when to go to bed. They
also did not know when to
visit
Experience soon taught the
students when to go to meals
and when to study, and that it
was best not to leave the
campus.
So, the students had come,
the work had begun, and the
rules were written. East
Carolina was in operation.

By EDWARD BRODIE
Picture a college professor
chasing a railroad train.
Picture Miss Lois Grigsby,
all dressed up in her new white
shoes, chasing after a train.
Miss Grigsby, head of East
Carolina News Bureau from
1937 to 1944, recalls it vividly.
It was about graduation

gel the news out
She always put the news
directly on the train at the
Greenville depot. This time she
was late, and the train was
already pulling out. "I caught
it she said, "but it ruined my
new shoes
In the beginning, all the
college news was written by
Miss Mamie Jenkins, the
college's first faculty member.
'When I came here in
1930 Miss Grigsby
remembers, "Miss Jenkins was

In 1937, Miss Jenkins was
involved in an automobile
accident, and Miss Grigsby was
asked to take over the bureau

Miss Grigsby increased the
number of papers covered by
the bureau, and expanded its
coverage of college activities.
"In each year she said,
"we'd mail out enough news to
make up a big book. Most of
this went to The Daily
Reflector and The News and
Observer, but we sent material
to other papers too
Miss Jenkins interviewed
and wrote about such people as
Helen Keller, Ameilia Earhart,
and adventurer Richard
Halliburton.

the bureau was The Teco Echo,

Miss Grigsby recalls. "We used
to joke that The Teco Echo

Another thing Misses
Jenkins and Grigsby did was to
organize the Scribbler's Club
for students who enjoyed
writing, but it died out after a
few years because they were
too busy to keep it up.
Miss Grigsby retired in
1965. "I'm still so busy I tell
people I hardly know I've

Overseas campus nears completion
By JAMES HORD
"Plans for an overseas
campus are now approaching
completion says Dr. Hans H.
Indorf, director of the
program.
The campus will be located
near Bonn, Germany and will
be open to students who will
be juniors by Sept. 1971.
Full credit will be given by
the University to students who
participate in the program. The
courses offered will lead to
ECU degree reguirements.
Student response to the
"junior year abroad" has been
"extremly favorable said
Indorf. In a quest lonaire
completed by freshmen
students during registration last
week, 91 per cent favored the
overseas program.
"The purpose of this
experiment in education said
Jndorf, "is to give ECU
students a chance to enrich
their educational experience by
living and studying in a foreign
society
Approval for the overseas
campus has been granted by
Dr. Robert Williams, provost.
Language requirement
Knowledge of a foreign
language will not be a
prerequisite, since the courses
will be taught in English.
However, intensive study of a
foreign language will be given if
requested so that students may
satisfy their language
requirements for a degree.
Indorf estimated the total
cost of the program to be
$2,500. This price would
include tuition, room, board,
textbooks, insurance and
transportation to and from
New York.
The courses will be taught
by ECU professors who will
rotate on a quarterly basis so
that students may have a wide
course selection.
Most of the courses offered
will be m the student's major,
w,th the social sciences
probably predominating. A
cognate minor in European
studies is currently being
studied which may be
completed during the year
abroad.
"The sie of the first class is
expected to be around 30 or
40 students said Indorf, "but
it can be increased in the
future if student interest is
sufficient
Current plans call for two
extended trips to neighboring
countries during the Christmas
and Easter vacations.
The location of the first
campus will probably be a site
overlooking the Rhine River,
about 10 minutes from Bonn.
"It is really a beautiful
place said Indorf, "ar.ci is
located near the cultural center
of Europe. Students should not
miss this unusual educational
opportunity

Pirates face biggest challenge
with no.1 team in nation
Tuesday, December 9, 1969, Fountainhead, Page 7

Sports editor
The basketball team goes
into us biggest game of the
Veat Wednesday against South
Carolina with a perfect 3-0
record.
Going into Wednesday
night's game, the Pirates have
added Western Carolina,
Roanoke and Atlantic
Christian to its list of victims.
South Carolina, who was rated
number one in the country in
preseason polls, suffered its
first loss of the year Saturday
night to Tennessee.
The Pirates opened their
season last Monday against
stern Carolina and had little
trouble rolling up a 102 57
tory But against Roanoke,
th( Bucs got into foul trouble
earlv jn the second half and
had t0 settle for a 78 75 win.
Saturday night against
Atlantic Christian, the Pirates
came up on the top end of a
106-97 score in a foul marred
contest.
In winning their first three
games, coach Tom Quinn's
Pirates have been led by senior
co-captain Jim Mod I in,
forwards Jim Gregory and Jim
Fairley and guard Tom Miller.
Modlin, a starter for the past
two seasons, had his biggest
night of his career against
Western Carolina when he
broke the ECU single game
scoring record with his 42
points while grabbing 20
rebounds. He was limited to 10
points and 12 rebounds against
Roanoke but came back with
29 points and 13 rebounds
against Atlantic Christian.

this year has been Gregory. In
the opener, the junior from

grabbed 13 rebounds. He
scored 26 points and got 10
rebounds against Ffoanoke
while he kept his average up
against Atlantic Christian with
25 points and 13 rebounds.
Fairley has been the most
pleasant surprise for the
Pirates. The sophomore scored
12 points and grabbed 11
rebounds in the opener and
against Roanoke he scored but
nine points yet he led the
rebounding with 13.
In Saturday's game, he
poured 26 points in and again
led the Pirate rebounders with
16.

the Pirates since he was a
sophomore, hit for 17 points in
the opening game against WCU
and led the Pirates in assists
with five.
Against Roanoke, he had 11
assists and was deadly from the
outside and finished with 29
points, high for the Pirates.
Against Atlantic Christian,
he popped the nets for 16.
But Wednesday night's game
will be the one the Pirates want
the most. And with an 11 game
home winning streak in Minges
Coliseum, the Bucs will be
fighting to make it number 12.

O.K here's something new: snow skiing. Dynamite.
Now. the purpose of this hype is to get you to talk your folks into
financing a little getaway to the mountains. Read on.
Being from the South, when you think of skiing, you naturally think
of water skiing. Forget it. This is snow sknng. The best Ah, bu you
say that that means Vermont or Colorado or some other foreign
place like that? Nope.
We mean Beech Mountain, N.C. Yeah, North Carolina. Beech has
the highest slopes east of the Rockies, and that includes Vermont.
And Beech has ten different slopes, from beginner to advanced
with lifts to service each one. There are cozy places where you can
get seme good chow and something to drink, or maybe just sit
around and get warm.
Beech also has a lot of single people all over the mountain all
winter long. If you are male, that means that there are a significant
. iber of females with whom you can become acquainted, and
vice versa, if you can dig it. If you don't know how to ski, we'll teach
you If you don't have any equipment, we'll rent it to you. cheap.
If you do have your own equipment, what are you waiting for-?
So here's the pitch: Beech Mountain features a gift certificate which
entitles you to two days of skiing. The package includes your lift
fees and complete equipment rental. All for under thirty dollars.
(A lot less if you have your own skis and stuff.) You'll also get a
,acket patch and a button which bears the catchy, ad game phrase
One Good Beechkommer Deserves Another Wear it proudly and

Swimmers aim for championship
By RICHARD RAINEY
With three meets under its
belt this season, the East
Carolina Swimming team seems
to be on its way to a fifth
consecutive Southern
Conference Championship and
possibly its best season ever.
In the opening meet of the
season, the Penn State
Swimming and Diving
Championships the Pirate
swimmers placed third behind
Villanova and Maryland in the
eight-team contest. Other
teams participating were Penn
State, LaSalle, West Virginia,
Bucknell and Bethany.
In its second meet of the
season last Wednesday in
Norfolk Va the Pirates swam
Old Dominion out of its own
natatorium with a 59-45 win.
Against N. C. State in the
home opener, East Carolina
fought gallantly only to end up
on the short end of a 67-42
score.
The Wolfpack is the
defending Atlantic Coast
Conference champion and last
season finished 20th in the
NCAA championships.
"It was like a 6-2 guard in

0E0 faces serious trouble
1
m
By BILL CONNELLY
Washington Coriospondcnt
WASHINGTON
Not surprisingly, the federal war on poverty is again under
-k on Capitol Hill. It has become almost an annual ritual.
B it this time the controversial programs of the Office of
Economic Opportunity (OEO) may be in serious trouble.
or several years now, the OEO's critics in the House of
Representatives have adopted the same strategy as the little
boy who cut off his dog's tail an inch at a time so it wouldn't
hurt so much.
tlUh by inch, the concept of the OEO as an independent,
creative agency operating outside the noimal local political
structure is being whittled away by Congress.
The fust whack was in 1967, when Rep. Edith Green,
0 Ore persuaded the House to let local governments take
control of the community action agencies, if they so desired.
This was a potentially disastrous blow. As it turned out,
however, most local governments did not want control of the
community action agencies. At last report, almost 95 per cent
of the existing agencies had been left independent rather than
annexed by city or county governments.
Now Mrs. Green and Rep. Albert Ouie, R Minn are trying
.mother approach aimed at sanitizing the OEO. They are
proposing an amendment to this year's OEO bill that would
turn control of the agency's programs over to state
governments.
Tin.1 state control amendment has powerful support from
Republicans and Southern Democrats. So powerful, in fact,
thai House leaders have delayed action on the $2.3 billion
OEO authorization bill for at least two weeks in hopes of
f.ghting off the amendment.
Presumably, the Nixon administration is opposed to the
amendment, which Ouie introduced on the House fluoi
Tuesday, Dec. ?, without warning.
The Presidenl ha? asked for a two year extension of the
OEO, as provid&d n the bill, and has promised the agency's
new director, formei congressman Donald Rumsfield, this
much time to improve the antipoverty program.
Rumsfeld and othei backers of the present OEO concept
ontend thai the Ouie amendment would destroy the agency's
effectiveness and make the antipoverty effort just another
:ii ally dominated suif; program.
Bui the Presidenl will have to make a major effort to get
Republican votes if he hopes to defeat the amendment. A
cjn :i many congressmen consei vatives, moderates and even
some liberals look upon state control as a means of making
the wai on poverty less politically explosive.
These congressmen have become increasingly nervous about
reports of misused funds, poor administration, high costs and
emingly radical activities in some of the OEOfmanced
antipoverty programs.
Then theory on state control is to put the community
i tion agencies under a branch of government that is close
enough to ride herd on them, to be more responsive to local
needs and to dispense money. The OEO would deal with the
state- government, not with local agencies, and would be the
weade. party in case of a dispute.
Opponents of the Quie amendment see only disaster in state
control. They fear that funds would be allocated to local
agencies in accordance with the governor's political
obligations. They also know state control would put an end to
efforts that are encouraging the poor to assert their rights and
needs before local officials.
They foresee, too, that some programs might be revised
hecome mere channels for pouring more federal money into
regular city or county functions. And in the Deep South, they
fear, funds might be diverted from the black poor, who most
need help.
As one defender of the OEO put it, "Can't you just imagine
what Gov. Lester Maddox would do with the antipoverty
programs in Georgia? Or George Wallace, if he's elected
governor of Alabama again?"
Mayors of larger citites are especially opposed to the
amendment. They have found state governments insensitive to
their needs in the past and would rather take their chances
with the OEO, despite the bureacratic irritations involved.
Nevertheless, some backers of the Quie amendment argue
that state governments would have a better chance of running
the antipoverty programs effectively than Washington has.
State officials could not be any more insensitive, they say,
than the bureaucrats in OEO's regional offices, who are
accused of stifling local ideas and initiative.
Actually, the state governors have a minor role in the OEO
program now.
Each governor has a federally financed state economic
opportunity office at his command to review local programs.
He also has a veto over OEO programs coming into his state.
But his veto can be overridden and sometimes is by the OEO
director in Washington.
The only exception is the Volunteers in Service to America
(VISTA), for which the governor's veto is absolute.
Most governors have, however, accepted the bulk of the
OEO programs. Since the war on poverty began about 1964,
only 69 local programs out of thousands have been vetoed.
Nineteen of the vetoes later were withdrawn by the governors
after negotiation, 25 were honored by the OEO and 16 were
overridden by Washington.
The chief nay sayer has been Gov. Ronald Reagan of
California, who has vetoed 14 programs. He later withdrew six
of these, had four sustained by the OEO, and we" overridden
on four.
Until Gov. Robert Scott disapproved of a VISTA program
in Johnston County earlier this year, no North Carolina
governor had vetoed an OEO program for the state. Scott later
resolved that controversy with the OEO.
Considering the tolerance most governors have
demonstrated for the antipoverty programs, then, it could be
argued that few changes would result from state control.
Under the Quie amendment, state control would still be
optional. Some governors might refuse this responsibility-as
mayors and county commissioners did under the 1967
amendment-and thereby avoid involvement with a politically
controversial program.
But most governors and state governments, by their very
nature, are too acquisitive to turn down such an opportunity.
In most instances, they could be expected to reshape the
antipoverty programs in accord with their own needs and
concepts.
Food service
strike ends
CHAPEL HILL (AP) A
tentative agreement was
reached Sunday to end the
month-long food service
workers' strike at UNC-CH.
Shortly after agreement was
reached, union officials began
trying to stop what they said
was an expected gathering of
2,000 students from
neighboring colleges who had
been called to demonstrate in
support of the strikers.
Jim Pierce of Charlotte,
Southeast area director of the
American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal
Employes said he expected
several hundred students to
reach the campus but that it
would be "a joyous v victory
celebration instead of a protest
demonstration
Pierce said workers would
return to their jobs today.
"We got almost everything
we asked for Pierce said. He
said the only important point
which the union failed to win
was a proposed hike in the
minimum wage to $2.25 an
hour. The contract proposed a
$1.80 minimum.
Under the terms of the
tentative agreement, all
workers who had been
dismissed immediately before
the strike and during the strike
will be rehired. Any worker
who loses his ob with Saga as a
result of planned reduction of
personnel will be assured of a
job by the University. These
were the two points which had
held up settlement.
LOST-A wallet has been
lost, anyone finding it should
return it to Mike Bass in New
Men's room 502.
DDT seriously threatens sea-life
BEAUFORT (AP) - Marine
scientists at Duke University
say that if the DDT level in
estuaries continues to increase,
it will pose a serious threat to
the larvae of crabs, shrimp, and
all fish.
Two scientists from Duke's
marine laboratory here said
their research indicates
ordiannly non fatal amounts of
the insecticide introduced into
estuary feeding grounds may
kill off generations of
important species of ocean life.
The experiments were
conducted by Dr. C.G.
Bookout, acting director of
Duke's oceanographic program
at Beaufort, and Dr. John D.
Costlow, director of the marine
laboratory.
"Our studies indicate that
DDT is a threat to estuarine
larvae of crabs, shrimp and all
fish and that if DDT levels in
estua ries continue to increase,
we are in serious trouble Dr.
Bookout said.

Technically, under city ordinance 330, Christmas carollers could be arrested. Carollers, be sure to get a permit

Ordinance is unjustf commentary
For the purpose of educating the Greenville "town
fathers the First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution is hereby presented.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances
tb
And also presented for the "town fathers" is th
bit of information. Greenville city ordinances are
subordinate to the federal constitution.
Two former students, Miss Daisy Albritton and
Miss Mitch Marshall were arrested for attaching
posters to utility poles. The posters were advertising
the appearance fo the Rev. Ralph Abernathy in
Raliogh Saturday. The Greenville ordinance
concerning attaching posters to utility poles is
ridiculous but nevertheless, it is an ordinance. The
problem we find here is that this ordinance is not
always enforced. This editor has often seen signs
advertising the Pitt County Fair, the American Red
Cross blood mobile and the candidac of county and
state officials on utility poles.
This ordinance is ridiculous but "Ordinance No.
330" reallv takes the cake.
According to the ordinance, it is illegal for any
person to ride in a car with one or more other people
if the car displays political stickers. People riding in
cars with headlights burring during the daytime (as
witnessed when Nixon supporters burned their lights
to show support for the President's Vietnam policy)
can be arrested.
American Legionaires might be arrested for
displaying poppies on Veterans' Day.
Young children may be forced into applying for a
permit three days before they go out Christmas
carolling. After all, a "parade" as defined by the
ordinance "is any assemblage of two or more persons
participating in any march, ceremony, show,
exhibition or procession of any kind in or upon the
public streets etc. In addition, they could be
arrested because they are "making known a position
or promotion of such persons, or on behalf of any
orgainzation or class of persons By Christmas
carolling, they are making known their belief in Jesus
Christ and they are promoting the orgainization of
the Christain church. Therefore, they are liable to
arrest unless they have a permit.
Something must be done and it must be done now
to strike this atrocious ordinance from the law books.
Until it is, the rights provided in the First
Amendment are not ours.
The charade of the past
week presents an interesting
case study in the politics of
confrontation as practiced by
the "left of center" segmenis
in contemporary American
society. The key facet of such
politics is the utilization or
fabrication of an issu1? in the
hope that the administration
and police agency cone rned
will overreact and provide an
emotional, newsworthy
incident, 1 hereby providing
both publicity and a certain
degree of sympathy for
whatever movement is being
advocated.
This took place in Greenville
over the past week. If one wer
to accept the assertions of
GAP, the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) and
their advocates, it would
appear to be a straightforward
case of local administration
and police bigotry towards an
idealistic, innocent group of
civil libertarians.
The matter is patently not
that simple. The incident of
the initial arrest of the two
girls and the subsequent
campus reaction was not, in
any respect spontaneous.
The response from the
participating organizations was
equally interesting. I was
fascinated by the speed with
which news of the arrests
spread, enabling GAP and its
affiliates to produce
we 11 w r i 11 en, mimeographed
handbills presenting the
"movement's view" of the
incident, organize an
information table with a rather
extensive variety of literature,
recruit people to distribute the
handbills and leterature, and
organize the march for that
same day, to say nothing of
coordinating their activities
with the local ACLU chapter
and SCLC representatives-
ALL BY THE TIME
CLASSES COMMENCED A
FEW HOURS LATER!
The resulting marches and
the reaction to them were
virtually a foregone conclusion.
Two factors were clarified by
those events: the primary
By ALAN SABROSKY
factor motivating the campus
participants, and the lack of a
realistic appreciation by the
Greenville administration and
police of the weakness of the
protesters
The most notable feature of
the participants from ECU was
then uniform desire for
publicity. The validity such as
it might have been, of the
"issue" was of secondary
importance to the general hope
of personal and group
notoriety. One has the distinct
impression that egotism, not
idealism, was the group's
hallmark.
The handling of the affair b
the Greenville administration
and police was awkward and
unfortunate. By reacting
precisely as the radicals wanted
them to do both in the initial
arrest of the girls and the the
subsequent reaction the the
Thursday m arch t hese
agencies provided an aura of
strength and importance to an
orgainzation of extremely
minor significance.
I he ent ire incident was
unfortunate. The leaders of
concerned campus
organizations should, if truly
interested in improving local
concitions, avoid their flights
of idea logical rhetoric and
concentrate on concrete issues
such as low-quality food
service on campus or
inadequate housing conditions
i n certain off campus areas.
In like fashion, the
Greenville administration and
police should recognize that
certain laws arc outdated and
unnecessary, and that certain
practices require modification
and reform. They should not
respond to inconsequential
poster-pasting or marching by a
few dissidents with senseless
arrests and passing ordinances
of doubtful validity and
enforceability, as these only
grant stature to, and gain
support for, a numerically
insignificant minority.
Reform ind pi ogress can
and must be made.
It must be recognized
that organizations such as GAP
have no more strength and
influence than administrations
are willing to grant them; their
minute, albeit vocal piotest are
allowed to proceed without
such i n t erference or
administrative overreaction as
would gain publicity for their
actions, such movements
atrophy, thereby avowing
responsible individuals to
concentrate on
concrete problems.
