PAGE TWO Dr. Jenkins Advocates . - Quality Education; 361 Dismissed This Summer - In his speech to the faculty last week, Dr. Jenkins disclosed that 325 undergraduates and 26 graduate students were dismissed from East Carolina this summer because of scholastic reasons. During the same address Dr. Jenkins ssid, “The first objective of this college should be quality education; the other activities should be purely of a supplementary nature aimed at supporting this objective. . . We have a responsibility to the people of the state to see that only those who have the abil- ity to profit by this expenditure (365 per student, per year paid by the state) and are willing to utilize that ability are made wel- come here.” Some have criticized this attitude saying an education should not be denied to anyone. However, we heartily endorse Dr. Jenkins and the college for their stand. : “Qualified students will never be denied an education’ at-East Carolina. Those individuals who are honest in their-desire for an educa- tion may vet it here. On the other hand, there ~ are som ho are interested only in “hanging around.” They, for some reason, like the cam- pus and enjoy being here. But to them the word ‘education’ has no meaning. They fail to realize the seriousness of the matter just s they fail to attend class and just ag they fail to read their ignments. These individuals are only so much trash in a stream. They should be removed so the ean flow better. The college is not an education when they dismiss these so-called ‘students,’ it is only providing a better opportunity for those who really want «n education by eliminating this ‘driftwood.’ Student Newspaper Asks For Helpful Suggestions n this our first issue of the 60-61 school year we are presenting several stories and columns by freshmen writers. This freshness of staff we hope will be somewhat symbolic of our policies this year.

We hope to overcome ‘some of the ob- stacles which proved to be annoying last year and to give the campus better news and edi- torial coverage than ever before.

Campus Freddie Skinner ‘The Greek Profile’ By MIKE KATSIAS It was only four years ago, Two or three groups of active saphomores und juniors were seen in the soda 2 hop reeruiting volunteers to join what they hope one day to call 30- cial fraternities. They had to handle themselves carefully, for at the time, Uke Board of Tuustees had not given permission for the formation of such groups on the campus. They met in vacant classrooms and auditoriums. Theirs was to be waiting game. The college presi- dent wanted evidence of their sin- cerity and service to the College and its student body. Finally, in the spring of 1957, the campus voted its approval of social fraternities. The wheels were now set in motion for correspondence with offices of the big national fraterni- ties. Ther inquiries were answered swftly. Kappa Alpha, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, and..Theta Chi liked the school and what's more important, Oie~groups -etitioning them. Fraternal observers have constant- ly remarked over the phenomenal growth of their East Carolina chap- ters. The 300 male students who compose the Greek system are rep- resented in every walk of campus life. There appears to be no depth or height for social fraternity person- ality, he can be seen working in the cafeteria, playing on the athletic field, or sitting behind the student body president’s desk. Many faculty and community citi- have devoted their time and talent to helping these young men. Through their combined efforts, the dream of fraternity houses has be- come a reality. Four of the present seven nationals have obtained hous- ing facilities. Puble relations is an important item for this year’s Interfraternity Council. Every campus has its share of enities. These parties will look closely over the scholastic and serv- ice accomplishments of the Greek system. A great deal has happened in the zens skort span of four years. Each year sees less unfavorable action and greater steps taken to insure their place on the campus scene.
