Miss Vinson is just one of sev- eral students that are achieving distinction in applied music through the hands of Dr. Carter. Tasker Polk, a former student of Dr. Carter’s, is now in Basel, Switzer- land, studying with Paul Baum- gartner. Mr. Polk had the honor of playing at the Governor’s Man- sion two times last season. Hs also gave two performances at the North Carolina Museum of (Photo by Art Platt) Art in Raleigh. Mr. Polk played with the North Carolina Sym- phony, performing the Ravel Left of Music degree at East Carolina. She is studying piano under the direction of Elizabeth Drake of the college music faculty. The evening program began with Bach-Siloti’s “Prelude in G Minor” and Scarlatti’s “Sonata in D Major.” Other representative works on the proram_ included “Etude op. 104, no. 1” by Men- delssohn; “Etude op. 10, no. 3” and “Valse op. 34, no. 1,” both by Chopin. In closing Mrs. Cooke selected Poulenc’s “Perpetual Movement No. 1,” Slonimsky’s “Variations on a Kindergarten Tyme,” and Griffes’ “Barcarolle op. 6, no. .” Page 2 AT HOME FOREIGN AFFAIRS: In a world fraught with international and personal tensions, efforts are made daily to improve relations with foreign countries. Recently, a report was issued by the Committee on the Foreign Student in American Col- leges and Universities. Leading educators studied the report and endorsed a eall for U. S. colleges and uni- versities to re-examine the philosophies, objectives and operation of their foreign student program. The report says that schools must recognize the significance of foreign students as basic and essential parts of their educational missions, and points out what the committee calls a “new dimension of educational exchange,” that of furthering the development of emerg- ing countries. “In vigorously pursuing their own primary goals— the advancement and diffusion of knowledge—colleges and universities contribute also to a primary goal of United States foreign policy—the preservation and sup- port of free nations around the world.” Actually, it should not have taken a special com- mittee to remind us of the need to educate those foreign students in our schools. But an even more important aspect of the problems concerning foreign students, is the treatment which these individuals undergo while enrolled in American schools. Their education may exude quality; but if they return to their own countries disgruntled with the attitudes of the Americans they have contacted, they will scarcely employ this educa- tion in any way to benefit America or its foreign policy. Yet the ethnocentric American frequently refuses to accept foreign students on an equal level with Amer- ican students. Americans usually have never gotten outside their own tiny sphere of interests. In conse- quence, they fail to realize the tremendous insecurity felt when one is living in a strange culture. Insecurity can rapidly develop into dislike if some attempt is not made to assuage the feelings of strangeness and dif- ference.But Americans treat foreign students stand- offishly and at times extremely rudely. For example, one student, Martin Abeln, who was returned home to the Netherlands. He has written caustic comments on observations from his six-month stay in the U. S. The allegations may or may not be true, but the point is that Martin Abeln has returned home bit- ter. A potentially useful ‘‘ambassador’ for the U. S. has been lost, and in fact has become an outspoken anti- American element. Many such incidents certainly would not help create a favorable image of the U. S. abroad. Outrages against foreign students continue to oc- cur in American schools, East Carolina is no exception. We ourself committed one such injustice recently when we made an unnecessarily strong comment in an edi- tor’s note to a letter written by a foreign student. The letter deserved the comment; but did it if read in the light that the student had been in this country less than a year? More recently, a college offica] misused his posi- tion to discriminate against a foreign student. The stu- dent has been at the college for one year as an above average student. He requested to borrow money under an available program; money, which, under the pro- visions of these programs he is entitled to borrow. At first he was merely put off with an “Ill see what I can do.” After a month or more, when he pressed the matter, he was told rather curtly that the members of the loan committee had been unofficially contacted and were “not in the mood.” Justifiably, this student was upset. Faced with such treatment in a foreign country he had no real alternative but acceptance. But the repre- hensible action of one college official scarred his im- pressions of America. Is this what America wants? In the future we hope that all America wants? In the future we hope that all Americans will realize their responsibility and act accordingly.

Please find for certain if my husband is dead, as the man I am now living with can’t eat or do nothing until he finds out. I am very much surprised to find that you have branded my boy as illiterate. This is a dirty lie. I was married to his father i week before he was born. In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing ten pounds. I hope this is satisfactory. Unless I get my husband’s money pretty soon, I will be forced to live an immortal (sic) life. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my three children, one of which is a mistake as you can see. My husband got laid off from his job two weeks ago, and I haven’t had any relief since. In accordance with your instruc- tions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope. You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make any dif- ference? I have no children as yet as my husband is a bus driver and works all day and night. I want my money as quick as I can get it. I have been in bed with a doctor for two weeks and he one me any good. If things ] :prove, I will have to send - another doctor.

In the future we will attempt to check more carefully the facts in the letters we print and drop po- litely in the trash can any such items, whose irresponsi- bility immediately becomes our own when we print them. Meanwhile, we thank the stu- dent who is substituting as Projectionist for Mr. Tracy and commend him for even tackling the job.

They will compete in a meet with three of the best swimming teams in the Southeast—the University of Miami, Florida State University, and the University of Florida. The Pirate fin- men have compiled an impressive record this year and should do well in this important meet. ACC fans received a mild reproof from the Commission- er of the Southern Conference Lloyd P. Jordon, and it was well deserved. Commissioner Jordon said that he had heard a lot about Duke’s mauling of West Virginia, but no one a lot about the number two team in the SC beating both Duke and Wake Forest (number 1 and 2 in the ACC). The No. 2 team in the SC is Davidson’s Wildcats. Poor Wake Forest can’t seem to get off the floor against some of the SC competition. Davidson scored an impressive 15 point victory over the Deamon Deacons, 90-75. Thursday night Furman’s Paladins beat the Deacs, 59-53. Furman is the fourth ranked team in the SC. Fortune Magazine had an interesting article on the economic condition of college football. An interesting point that the article ably presented was the fact that it costs as much as $700,000 to field a big-time, three-platoon col- lege football team today. The magazine suggested that the necessary remedies to end this situation would be to (a) recognize the game as a business and pay the players as professionals, (b) pay for the expense of the team out of a general fund of money which would normally go towards higher education, or (c) drop the so-called sport com- pletely. Unfortunately, to apply to football today. institution in all of the colleces throughout the land. only way that college football could be kept on a relatively less expensive basis would be de-emphasis. The Alumni} pressures are too great for a deemphasis movement to take place at any school that has a big-time football team.

Many of the students liked the way | the article was presented and its content. The credit for the article goes to Ron Dowdy of the Sports department. The part of the article that drew the most comment was) Coach Stasavich’s discussion of EC’s recruiting of foot- | ball players. Many of the students at EC are in favor of giving athletic scholarships and grants-in-aid to athletes} from this state as opposed to out-of-staters. They feel that | the out-of-stater would get a free education at the expense of the N. C. taxpayer. Upon receiving his degree, he would | leave the state and go to work elsewhere. It does not seem to meet the approval of some to have the N. C. taxpayer pay for the education of some one who will spend the rest of his life in Virginia or some other surrounding state. EC was not set up to educate students from other states, especial-| j ly for free.
