President Umstead gave a brief farewell ad- dress, and thanked those students who had served as committee chairmen on the following committees: handbook, elections, homeeoming, budget, point system, and entertainment. He stated that he felt all these committves had done splendid work during this school year. Umstead also pointed out that this was East Caro- lina’s first year as 2 member of the United States Student Government Association and that two students from this campus attended the nation- al meeting this year. Also, he commended the part that ur school played in the State Stu- dent Legislature and that three of the state officers are East Carolina udents. Umstead said that the needs of the student bedy and the several _stitutional changes which have en rerlized in the past few weeks repr sent a challenge to the new leg- islature and officers.

We stated, “The East Carolinian does not question the perseverance of Donald Umstead. We believe that he will work faithfully and prove himself a stanch doer in working towards a big- ger and better East Carolina.” The points listed in Umstead’s platform which he released to the East Carolinian last year included: 1. Appointment of a coiamittee to work with the campus police in solving traffic problems. 2. Extending concessions to the girls’ dormi- tories. 3. A publicity program for the school besides athletics. 4. Activation of the Men’s Judiciary. 5. More weekend activities for students. 6. Publication of a periodical financial statement showing cost and appropriations. The committee which worked towards the installation of a traffic signal at the Beckwith Gate-Administration Building entrance was the most constructive step taken towards creating safer conditions in regard to traffic problems. Finally, during the latter part of last quar- ter, a bill favoring the appointment of a com- mittee to study the problem was introduced. It was approved by the legislature, a committee was appointed, but the group never reported their findings. Anne George, a former student here and member of the East Carolinian staff, launched a drive in her column last year asking that drink machines be placed in the girls’ dormitories. The administration approved the move, and these ma- chines constitute the girls’ only concessions. We have carried fifteen stories concerning meetings of the SGA which were written by the legislature’s own reporter. No story makes any mention of concessions for the girls, a publicity program, activation of the Men’s Judiciary, week- end activities, or publication of a periodical fi- nancial statement. In other words, none of the points have been brought before the legislature this year. The SGA has filled several vacancies on this ; judiciary due to graduation—the only ation done concerning the Men’s Judiciary. Umstead gave his farewell address last week, thanked those students who served on various committees, and pointed out that recent consitu- tional changes represent a challenge for the new legislature. The platform which won for him the presi- dency of the Student Government Association was a great challenge also but it remains un- touched. Students Never Change “It is trite to y that cooperation is one of the most necessary things in life, yet few things can be done without it. “Most of us are rather good at promising to do things by a certain time, but those stu- dents who fulfill their promises promptly and pleasantly certainly are too few. ‘Gosh, I forgot all about it!’ is the too usual reply when a ne- glectful person is confronted with a reminder that he has failed to do his task. “That person may have forgotten his as- sumed duty or he may have had no real intent- ion of performing it in the first place. There are some students who apparently want to be in the limelight so they can be regularly pub- licized when work is being planned, but some- times it is these who squirm and ease out of it when the actual duty calls for them. These idle promises are easy service, but it takes a real personality to fulfill duties. “On this campus every week, every day there are opportunities for students to be of service to clubs and responsible persons. There is stu- dent government work to be handled, publicat- ions to go to press, plays to be produced, dances to be decorated for and dozens of important jobs to be done. “It is not just the responsibility of officers in charge to do the job. It is every student’s task to see that the activities of ECC are done and done as best they can be done. It is un- fortunate that even with the point system the work on the campus continues to be done by the same small group of energetic individuals. “Are you a slacker? Are you one of those students who never have time to do this or that because you have to loaf or go to a movie or do something else equally unimportant? It is said, ‘If you want a job well done, ask a busy person to do it, for the ones who are not busy never have time.’ “If you are one of these persons who is guilty of not doing anything helpful on the campus, start today to atone for your past. Cooperate to the fullest extent with all that will go to make your alma mater an institution of which you will be proud.” The above was printed in this newspaper a few years ago, but we believe it still applies. Time goes on, but people do not seem to change.

Ike’s In Turmoil by Bobby Hall At the time of the writing of this article President Eisenhower is in a state of turmoil. He is torn between three issues: (1) Saving the face of Secretary of Ezra T. Benson by vetoing the recently passed farm bill. (2) farmers relief, I need, by Agriculture, Giving the they desperately signing the bill into law. (3) Vetoing the bill and calling a gpecial session of Congress to try and work out a new bill in order to give the farmer relief dur- ing the current year. POUITICALLY SPEAKING Pres- ident Esienhower has already lost. After ‘becoming President he got through congress a bill which pro- ided for sliding supports of 82 to 90 per cent of parity. The bill just d by congress returns the farm- to rigid price supports of 90 per ccnt of parity, on basic crops of wheat, cotton, corn, peanuts anid domestically-consumed rice for this year. Parity prices are established by formulas considered fair to the farmer im relation to the cost of he has to buy. If Ike vetoes ill ‘he will lose the farm vote by starving them to death. If he signs e bill, the Democrats not going to let the farmer forget who initiated he bill. SECRETARY BENSON has classi- fied the legislation as a “bad bill.” It seems to me Benson should wel- come some help as his present pro- gram has let the farmer slide into a depression all of his own. About the only reason the Pres- ident could have for signing the bill b des giving the farmers relief is the bill contains his 1.2 billion dollar voluntary soil bank program. said he would not demand per- tection if he could get a “good bill” tor the farmer. Just what a “good ig considered to be by the Pre- sident without sliding price supports one knows. The farm aid bill is | med to increase the election- year income of farmers approximately two billion dollars. Senator Estes Kefauver declared a speech that was delivered by rmer U. S. Attorney General J. Howard McGrath in Farmville last er the lke week “the real reason for the failure” of nations agricultural problenys. The senator stated the president had ed his authority to subordi- if they were generals ser- ig under him.” For that reason the of Secretary Benson were takes of the President as he ed the Secretary’s theories. KEFAUVER DECLARED that the “sliding support theory” has had re- vits just the opposite of what had been promised in 1952. He said the average farmer needs price supports beof at least 90 per cent of parity and that the support level should be higher for low-income farmers and lower for those with higher incomes. - Regardless of whether the Presi- dent signs the bill or not, you can bet it will be an explosive campaign sue in the coming election as the Dixon-Yates contract will be. the nates In reference to last weeks column, IF NOT ADLAI, WHO? we see that Adlai got his presidential candidacy back off the ground. Yet, the Illi- nois primary did not give him first place as a candidate for the Demo- cratic Party’s nominee ag president. The important test lies in the Flori- da Primary of May 29th and the California Primary, June 5th. Both Stevenson and Kefauver are doing extensive campaigning in Flori- da. To try and show all is well be- tween them to the public, they took time Ott to pin their campaign but- tons on each other last week, when their paths crossed in Florida.

In my opinion you should simply print letters of criticism and answer them, if at all, in an adult fashion. The childish remarks in- s 1ted into the letter written by Alan Alcock, served only to show that the editor was unwilling to be criticized, and that the editor chose a most childish way to Jet everybody know it, Any “old boy,” with or without a stick, who is properly enrolled in East Carolina College, deserves to be taken seriously. Nothing is so good that it cannot be bettered. Each sug- gestion or criticism should be weighed | in the ballance, and if found lacking should be discarded. In my opinion, your editorials should concern only matters pertaining to the college. Maybe some gtate politics, but national polities. should be left out of.our paper. Most students will not read national politics in the big dailies, so we shouldn’t waste space writing about them in the school paper. . Now I wish to make a suggestion. € think that interest in the paper could be increased by having students pay a smal). fee, about fifty cents, per quarter for the paper. This money could be used to pay people to deliver it to the subseriber’s dorm rooms or to mail it to people who live .off campus, The people who refused to take a subscription could obtain a fice. The alumni should have a chance to subscribe for the paper, at a high- er rate, of course. The people who subscribed would value their copy more, and the money spent to have the several copies which are not read printed could be saved. More constructive editorials, such as campaigning for a dry cleaning plant and other worthwhile additions to the campus would be well received by, I believe, most of the student body. Thank you, e.

First of all as we mentioned before, there is always the weekly dancing on the Student Union terrace. And, during this season of thoughts and flowers, there will be a number of semi-formal dances and the biggest dance of them all—the formal Junior-Senior Dance. Also, there will be numerous campus attractions such as the Senior Follies, “Okla- homa” and senior music recitals.
