By MARCELLE VOGEL Norman Cousins, editor and Vice President of Saturday Review, spoke to the large group of ACP delegates nbout the ever present topic “The Russian Report.” Cousins, a believer in the theory that the best possible way to get first hand and unbiased news is to go out and see the situa- tion for yourself, has made nine trips to the Far East since World War Il, and just this summer he took « trip to the Soviet Union “The big question we are faced with today,” began Cousins, “is the canger of war.” “Concerning disarm- ament,” continued Cousins, “would the Soviet Union accept comprehen- ive disarmament with contro)? “Khrushchev said yes, and we said to be set a definite time. We must recognize it our turn to speak,” declared Cousins. “We should define an adequate dis- urmement plan, and then put Russia on the spot.” “But then,” asked Cou- “does Russia really want “T believe she does,” he ad- ded, “because she is not interested in suicide.

At present, there is no foreign lan- gvuage entrance requirement at ECC, and B.S. students may graduate without a single hour of foreign language. A study of foreign language would be valuable to the B. S. student in many A teacher should have good understanding of the English language, and studying « foreign language is actually one of the best ways to get it. Only by studying a foreign language can one know the problems of communica- tion and making oneself understood. A foreign language study is also an excellent means of learning about people of other lands. A successful teacher of any subject should have a good understanding of other coun- tries and cultures in a day when international understanding is an ur- gent need. The recent clamor for foreign lan- guage in the grammar grades makes the need for a B.S. foreign language requirement even more _ obvious. Schoo] superintendents want to hire teachers who can give younger stu- dents basic training in foreign lan- guages. B. S. graduates will also find that college and university grad- uate schools are requiring an under- graduate foreign language course for students planning to begin their graduate studies. Though it is true that many state- supported teachers’ colleges do not require foreign language courses for graduation, EC should take the lead and make foreign language a re- quirement. Until there is a definite foreign language requirement for B.S. stu- Gents, those persons working for this degree should take a language any- way. As Nathan M. Pusey, Presi- dent of Harvard University says, “The basic reason for the study of none. ways. very foreign languages remains unchang- ed. It is ly that effort unlocks w vakoeble human experience from ich must otherwise The less deeply and widely one moves into the world of letters, the more he is ndemn live as a fragment of his self.” such one remain possible ful Should Few Be Blamed were named the case. Last week of midnight several in one of the dormitories. When the girls, believed this incident was the proper pro- stood ladies Recently nine g culprits in an unusual quarter during the final classes at exactly doors were slammed girls who confessing to before several stern young they were placed on of the “causing a riot.” Webster’s diction- ary, a riot is a “wild and loose fes- probation for the remainder f school year for According to tivity.” Can slamming some doors be termed as wild and loose? Were the girls themselves being wild and loose? Undoubtedly the Women’s Judiciary were in the dark as to what this unusual conduct could be called when they were preparing the min- utes. This small incident turned in- to a horrible dream for nine girls and a comical conversation for the rest of the student body. Were the nine who admitted “causing a riot” the only partici- pants? Severa] girls were seen in the act but were not involved in the con- sequences because they were either smarter than the others or just too seared and did not confess. Actually, as in most college inci- dents, these girls are setting an ex- ample for what could happen to any- one trying the same little game. But the moral of the story is “be smart and don’t admit to anything.” Prob- ably the reason that these girls are paying for this childish trick is that they were unprepared for the stern and harsh outcome. Too many cases worse than this small one go untouched. Is it fair to condemn only « few just because catching the others would require too much time and energy?

At the present, all sororities at East Carolina College are nationally affiliated. Varsity Band Reorganizes The Varsity Band, under the direc- tion of Thomas Miller of the Music Department, has again reorganized for the Winter and Spring quarters. Forty-eight musicians from many departments make up the band, and its nucleus is comprised of the march- ing band.

A concert is being planned by the Varsity Band for the early part of the Spring Quarter. “The lawn con- cert last year was so successful, that the band expects to repeat the same sort of program this year,” com- mented Mr. Miller. Membership is still open to any qualified musicians, and information can be obtained from Herbert Carter or Mr. Miller.
