The girl looked at me. Then she looked at the bag over my shoulder, She giggled, but she never did ask me what I had in the bag be- cause she knew I’d ask her what was in the pocket-book strung over her shoulder. And so that’s how it has been with me and my SACK BAG the past few days. Oh! About what’s in the bag. BOOKS! BOOKS! What els: would an East Carolina student carry in a bag? Friend, EC Needs Your Aid By PAT HARVEY “WHAT AM I HERE FOR? IT’S TIME 1 KNEW ... “The preceding quotation is taken from a song, which I doubt is familiar to the ECC stu- dnt body, so I shall not give you the wpleasure of acquiring its title. Actually the title is unimportant. It merely begins this little story (used loosely) and is the topic for my dis- cussion concerning the inactivity of the majority of the school’s attend- ants, As I surveyed the campus Saturday afternoon, I was indeed downhearted in seeing its emptiness. I couidn’t stop a familiar question from being uttered alound with contempt .. . “Why is East Caroling a. suitcase scl ool? Doesn’t it offer enough ac- tivity to keep its students 7 days a week?” Really, gang, are you going to sit back again this year and use your spare time conferring with ac- quaintances about its lack of anima- tion or are you going to be a part of what college is supposed to be? PEO- PLE! YOU ARE THE COLLEGE! Whether BCC has your support and intrest determines its reputation. Now the introduction should sig- nify what I'm trying to express. If I were to ask a typical George or Mary why he came to school, his answer would probably boil down to the customary ... “Why ... an edu- cation, stupid!” Well now, I believe that is a dandy idea; but just what is an education? To this he responds rather ungracefully, “Well... ah... it’s ...Ah...” Come now, George, you’re repeating yourself. ‘Actually; I’m in complete agreement with you; it is a difficult word to define. But I believe that if you turn to the correct page in the dictionary this Phrase will strike your mind—“a building of mind and character.” In more common words—“to become a well-rounded individual.” Being able to reeite the presidents of the United States proves that your memory is eminently good, but I doubt that it will be received with en- thusiasm at a cocktail party or a Sunday afternoon picnic. In order to be well-liked in different communi- ties we should develop our person- ality 2s well as our minds. Inatead of trotting Lome every Friday after- noon to see those old friends, here and meet new people. Be a of your college! Join a club! W.
