The Student Movement

| Obstacles

There is yet no clear understanding of exactly what
a college student is in America, in either his academic
or social role, Is he still a high school student? Is he some
form of apprentice? Very few see themselves as ma-
tur and socially responsible adults. This is hardly
surprising, either in the context of the American uni-
versity or the general American tradition. Many uni-

j colleges are sheltered in small towns or
even rural settings: most of the rest are massive com-

Even the non-commuting students at urban schools tend
to be cut off from any sustained relation with the social

that he deesn’t take himself seriously.

This setting stops many of the best, but, impressive
be, this is only the first obstacle. The almost
ademic harassments—quizes, assignments, tests,

and various kinds of busy-work have suc-

, structured activity exists. Student coun-
pers, and related activities exist on nearly
and claim a significant portion of their par-
=: but often political and social concerns
y or implicitly out-of-bounds. Only the some

Student Association committees have been
! cal and social problems as their legiti-
mate concerns, and often they are preoccupied with just
passing news between their campuses and the national
headquarters, or with simply perpetuating themselves.
And in any case, they have little relevance for the aver-
age student.

But the student be moved to act, either on
local or more geographically distant grievances and con-
cerns, a nondirect and blatant weapon is applied—the
administration. These de facto ruler of academia, armed
with real power and the weapon of time (they can stall,
and if apathy doesn’t occur, the student still has to leave
the campus sooner or later), may either forbid out-
right, administratively hamstring or harass, or even
abolish and destroy student institutions and activities.
Even if a student escapes the continuously emphasized
homily. ‘“‘You’re here to learn, my child,” he is little
aware of the campus power structure and even less of
how to meet it. Literally scores of campus newspapers
and editorial boards and hundreds of student organi-
zations have been and are being censored, impeached,
or banned. Thousands have been administratively ha-
rassed, or never permitted .to exist in the first place.
Thus, of the few who do come to the point of action,
many are forced to surrender and return to silence, there
to become experts at administrative law, sterilely in-
volved in negotiation with long-lived administrators.
But some survive. The history of the sit-ins and the
other movements bear witness to this—their nature is

the result of the structure within which they operate,
as is the absence of other actions.

Is it still surprising that students are called silent?
It is, rather, surprising that some have the perseverence
to survive with their concern about issues that should
concern us all. The concerns are natural—who wants
war, or 1984, or racism? Those are the current concerns.
The silence is what is artificial; but it is understandable.
When the silence is broken, it still faces the disapproval
of the general comunity and, what is worse, the absence
of parellel voices and organized forces in the “adult
community’. This reinforces the students’ feeling of
sandbox games and childish idealism.

If all this is true, why send one’s self or one’s
friend through this meatgrinder? This is a moral ques-
tion which we must privately answer. But how best to
do it, or just how to do it at all, is a legitimate question
—a question which must be answered if the embryonic
student movement is to grow into a real student move-
ment and then into a social movement. (Excerpt from

Otto Feinstein, “Is There A Student Movement,” NSA
Publications.)

events stamped indelibly on
that soul and are so largely re-

The Fires of Spring is not a new

Random House in 1949 and since
has been printed 12 times.

times rough style and construction,

vious moralizing of a youth writer,

this novel has power and vitality.

David Harper, the book’s prota-
gonist, subsists in a Pennsylvania
poorhouse with an acquisitive shrew
he calls Aunt Reba. But he lives
in a dream-world from which all
evil has been exorcized—no, in
which evil never existed. Early in
the novel, David cries out at his
teacher when she finishes reading
the class the Illad. Refusing to
ackrowledge the unfair and dis-
graceful death of Hector, he rushes
to the poorhouse and writes his
wn ending—an ending where
good triumiphs as it should, and
Hector “... lit a fire beneath the

horse and burned up every Greek.”

From here we

struggle with
David through the quagmires and
labyrinths of his trek to reality
and manhood. Sometimes the quag-
mires suck him treacherously into
their illusory darkness, and he
thrashes his way out to scrape
away the muck of stolen money, or
to wash away the sickly-sweet ef-
fluvium of his first love affair—
with a whore. Sometimes the dark
alleys of the labyrinth close in on
him, and he rasps the fingers of
his mind bare stumbling along the
jagged walls seeking understand-
ing. And after the fifteenth sum-
mer we wonder also “how men
could live till they were seventy if
they endured such passions as he
fhad known that fifteenth summer;
and although he knew many things,

SPORTS REVIEW
By LLOYD “STACK” LANE

2 CE OEE AS A J

The Monday morning quarterbacks are still at it, even
though the EC-LR game is more than a week old. They are
continuing to rerun almost every play from the opening
kick-off to the final horn trying to find rhyme or reason
for the outcome of the game. They should realize that what

makes college football an exciting contest is the fact that
neither team is perfect, and both teams will make mistakes.

Increased Football Coverage

Have you noticed the publicity that EC is getting on
the Sports pages of several of our better papers (better
because they now give EC coverage) throughout the state?
Maybe you weren't here last year, but if you wanted to know
how EC did in football, you had to depend on reading the
re-hashing of the game in the EAST CAROLINIAN. Now,
most of the big dailies not only write up the games, but they
also have daily articles on EC’s PRACTICE SESSIONS.
Our Pirates receive not only coverage in the papers, but on
radio and TV as well. The person responsible and who de-
serves a vote of thanks from about everybody connected
with the school is MR. EARL AIKEN, director of Athletic
Promotion. Mr. Aiken, who came to EC from LR, has the
advantage of many contacts throughout the country who
can place our Pirates on the big time athletic map. This
is somthing that EC is striving toward, and Earl Aiken is
just the person to get it done. His understanding of the
games, and his knowledge ‘“‘inner politics in application to
sports, leaves nothing to be desired for one who is to hold this
important position in the athletic set up at EC.

Discussing Pirate Football Uniforms

It is time EC did something about the uniforms that
our ‘‘poor’” Pirates are forced to take the field wearing on
Saturdays. Those uniforms that are used now are just not)
suitable for a college that is going big time. Most of the
high schools in North Carolina have better looking uniforms
than the Pirates do. Eeven the practice uniforms look better.
Sigma Nu deserves some eredit for trying to raise money
to give the athletic department to purchase new uniforms.
Sigma Nu has offered to give their share of the money taken
in at their annual football game with Pi Kappa Alpha. The
Sigma Nu-Pi Kappa Alpha game will be played at College}
Stadium on Saturday, November 17. Game time will be 2,
p.m. Tickets may be obtained from any member of the two |
fraternities for fifty cents. Pi Kappa Alpha won last season’s
contest.

Pittsburgh, Pa. (1.P.) — Chat-

a new approach to the teaching of |
freshman English designed to per-|

The course, “introduction to Ex-
position,” has replaced the tra-
ditional English composition course
required of Chatham freshmen. |
Theme writing will be tied closely
to the subject matter being studied
in other freshman courses. The
new program also provides for ad-
ditional, personal attention for the |
students who are not as advanced

in skills of expression. |
