Those who care seem to care completely. They follow all phases of student affairs with genuine concern; they seem to be continually informed on the happenings around them and eager to participate. They seem alert, alive, re- sponsible, but the melancholy fact is that they tend to be too few in number. Those of the other extreme take a mechanist view of coliege. Their purpose seems to be to get out of school as uneventfully and expeditiously as possible, rather than to get out of it the most possible. Academically, as well as ex- tra-curricularly, they tend to do little. Not that the quality of academic work is necessarily poorer than usual, one pro- fessor tells us, but good grades have recently been consid- ered only as a means that might lead to graduation and good jobs. And, not that the number in extra-curriculars have decreased, but they do not increase with the increases in enrollment. Tuesday’s election proved the validity of these general- ities. '[wo hundred and seventy-nine cast votes for sum- mer student government leaders, However, more than thirty- two hundred students are enrolled in the College for the first term. These statistics show that almost three thousand were not interested enough in campus affairs, not willing to exert the necessary energy, and not willing to take the time to clect their summer leaders. This group we classify as apathetic. distance Should the statistics be available, we feel sure that those who did not vote Tuesday are among those who were not able for the “Paper Penny” count-up last Thurs- day, not in on the planning of College Union activities this eek and last, nor among the volunteers to work on the sum- mer newspaper staff. Nor would they be among the ones who ve already spent hours on end doing un-required work for their courses. Doubtful, too, is their being the ones who are well informed on the College and the campus activities. But, we suggest that they do constitute the majority, rather than the minority. In search of the reasons for such apathetic and disaffected attitudes, we have concluded that these students are moti- vated by only one criterion in determining their course of action—ivhat will it do for me? Admittedly, it would be a happier world, should we all be able to devote ourselves to such private utopias. But, with adulthood and college life, there goes the responsibility of involvement in a life of working together, seeking that which is best for the masses, and achieving the purpose of college life by getting the fullest from academic study. Student involvement as we suggest it is probably one of the most satisfying and rewarding objectives college stu- dents might possess. And, there is no better time than Sum- mer School to begin. Such participation and interest would, of course, make the apathetic students the minority instead of the majority. Consider this a challenge. ava a G' ‘carolinian Published weekly by the students of East Carolina College, North Carolina Member Carolinas Collegiate Press Association Associated Collegiate Press editor business manager Greenville, tony r. bowen giles lippert Offices on second floor of Wright Building Mailing Address: Box 1068, East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina Telephone, all departments, PL 2-5716 or PL 2-6101, extension 264 Subscription rate: $3.50 per year campus bulletin TODAY, June 27 7:06 pan.—Chess Club, Wright Social Room 7:00 p.m.—Austin: “Sodom and Gomorrah” State: “The Nutty Professor” Pitt: “Call Me Bwana” Tice: “It Happened at the Worlds’ Fair” Meadowbrook: “Road to Hong Kong” FRIDAY, June 28 7:30 p.m.—Faculty Duplicate Bridge Club, Planters Bank State: “The Nutty Professor” Pitt: “Call Me Bwana” Tice: “It Happened at the World’s Fair” Meadowbrook: “Road to Hong Kong” SATURDAY, June 29 State: “The Nutty Professor” Pitt: “Call Me Bwana” Tice: “It Happened at the World’s Fair’ Meadowbrook: “Pirates of Blood River” “These Wilder Years” SUNDAY, June 30 State: “The Nutty Professor” Pitt: “The Stripper” Tice: “Follow The Boys” .

In America the public school has become a mighty force for the preservation and improvement of our society. Because it touches the lives of virtually all the people, the public school is on the front line of this notable effort. Its con- tribution to date is so great and far-reaching that it cannot be measured; its potentiality for the future is infinite.

In essence, the plan permits each of Haverford’s 450 students to pick the day and time, and with some restrictions, the place, he desires to take each of his term examinations. About a month be- fore the ten day examination period, each student completes a form indicating his courses, in- structors, and the date he wants to take each test. Certain basic qualifications must be met: examinations be started either at 9 a.m. or 2 p.m., senior comprehensives and tests requiring special facilities have priority, and courses or sections which entail the reading of more than twenty pages by any professor must com- pleted the first week. Before the examination period, students submit to the Registrar’s Office an envelope for each test on which is indicated the course num- ber, student’s name, examination time and date. This is to enable the Registrar s Office to prepare lists which allow each professor to know exactly’ at what time “all their tests will be completed and ready for grading. ag : Examinations are then inserted in their respective envelopes alon y with special instructions.
