WOODY SHEPHERD In an effort to arouse the Stu- dent Body’s interest in the cur- rent election and SGA activities, the Association of Student Po- lemics is sponsoring a debate on campaign issues to be aired over campus radio tonight beginning at 7:00 p.m. This is part of a ASP program to formulate a well- informed Student Body. J. Alfred Willis, who will be one of the ASP panel members, stated, “The debate would aid in defining the issues of the cam- paign so as to give the student a choice between the candidates. The ASP is of the opinion that an ill-informed Student Body makes for an apathetic student government since student pres- sure groups and student opinions cannot be brought to bear on the SGA. This leaves the student government to the devices and self-interest of its executives and its legislators.” B. Telson Willis, Jr, and David Smith, who will aiso participate on behalf of the ASP, stressed, “It is up to the students to evoke a conscientious SGA. We urge co-operation by mailing questions to box 1527 ECC or contacting either one of us, and, most of all, listen to the debate tonight.” rman; Rob- Jerry closing running for member at large are Fred Wright, Christesen, positions are up-till-now, virtually unopposed. running for] the vice Nibbelink, Dot Cynthia Kennedy for secretary, and Donnie Hicks and El- large. also 59 girls running for Elections Chairman Seeking the Men’s Judiciary spots RAYMOND GILLIKIN ... candidate for SGA President, is a junior business major.

However, East Carolina did have a successful delegation at tne 1960 December meeting.” The meetings of the state Student Legislature are conducted at the North Carolina State Capital in Ra- leigh.

We are proud of our honor students and wish to create incentive to have more of them.” 2 More student representation on the Entertainment Committee. “In that the Entertainment committee is to provide entertainment for the students,, I don’t students aren’t representative of the committee. Ait present, I feel s if the entertainment series is too epresentative of one group. Maybe a poll could be taken to find out the entertainment that the students want and will enjoy.” 3. Revision of the Student Gov- ernment Constitution. “Not only are there several unclear and contra- dictory statements, but there are phases not adequately covered by the constitution.” 4. Discount for students from down town merchants. “Knowing the large expense involved in attending col- lege, I don’t see why some system couldn’t be set up whereby the stu- dents would receive a discount for purchases from the merchants, even theugh it be small.” 5. Later hours for cial oceasions. 6. Drive-in mail deposits placed at strategic locations on campus. 7. More telephones in the womens dormitories. 8. Publicize ali elections on cam- pus more highly.

Debate Fever Hits In Midst Of Spring College Elections (UPS)—The “Great Debate” fevor has hit several campuses in the midst of student body elections this spring. At the University of North Caro- ‘ina, the rossibility of having a “Se- vier-Harriss” television debate simi- “ar to the Nixon-Kennedy debates is sing much comment among stu- ent moliticians. Sevier and Harriss ore candidates for student body pres- ident. While not yet at the television stage, the University of Texas held its “Great Debate” last Tuesday in a University auditorium. The debate between the three candidates for president of the Student Association opened with statements by each, fol- lowed by cross-examination by each of the other two. A period of ques- tions from the audience followed. Commenting on the possibility of using television debates on the cam- pus, the North Carolina Daily Tar Heel states: “The television format has its limitations, of course, It en- courages glibness instead of concen- trated thought, and it imposes a time /limitation that often cuts short debate before it has really begun to make sense.” But, says the paper, television is capable of reaching every student on campus at the same time. The editor- ial suggested that television debates could be used to discuss major cam- pus problems where all students need to hear outspoken discussion. more especia see Ww more girls on spe- EAST | CAROLINIAN WEDNESDAY, wa Presiaent Speight Reviews Past Year’s Accomplishment; | Candidates Aware Of Responsibilities “Key Problem Next Year; SGA Constitutg} Organization Aids Members; Senate Seeks Entrance (Editor's note—NSA is an organi- zation with which our student gov- has been associated in the past in presenting the following facts and questions concerning NSA, we hope to enlighten the student body to pros and cons of belonging to th confederation.)
