Portable Qutdoor Stage Arrives Saturday A portable stage purchased with proceeds from the mammoth “pa- per penny” project—14 months of saving empty cigarette packs—ar- rived on campus Saturday. The completely portable facility, equipped with various lighting fa- cilities and mounted on a trailer, was bought with about $10,300 contributed by the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co. The company paid a penny a pack for empties of its brands collected by students, alumni and friends of ECC during the college’s “Paper Penny” cam- paign. First mission for the portable vol. XX XVIII stage, an all-aluminum facility, was to provide a setting for Satur- day afternoon’s ccncer; fin and awards presentation of ECC’s 10th annual Summer Music Camp. The program was held on the mall area near the certer of the main campus, The trailer arrived here about noon after a trip from Owatanna, Minn. A delivery crew left the Wenger Manufacturing Co. in Owantanna Wednesday.

The so-called “Gag Law’ forbids Communist speakers and those who have utiliz: Amendment when questioned about Communist affiliation speaking privileges on supported campuses. The stand taken by the Summer School governing body was in the form of a letter forwarded to the General Assembly members. Pres- ident Leo W. Jenkins, unofficially, has endorsed the Senate’s letter on the issue. The letter, as unanimous- ly passed by the representative body, appears below. * * Yo the Legislators of North Carolina: The Student Government Asso- ciation of East Carolina College, as the representative body of the students of this instittuion, resolves that it questions both the manner of the passage of House Bill 1395 and the law itself. It is our belief that the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is an inalienable right for the pro- tection of every citizen. Accord- ing to the provision of House Bill 1895, claiming the right ¢ ‘aran- teed by the Fifth Amendment is regarded as incriminating the cit- izen. The law is so vaguely stated as to imply that any citizen who refuses to testify against himself is a member of an organization advocating overthrow af the gov- ernment of the United States by force. In respect to the manner of the passage of House Bill 1395, it is inferred that an attempt was made to subvert the democratic process, since the bill was not introduced until the day before adjournment, thus leading to the hurried sus- pension of House rules and the refusal of the President of the Senate to permit the necessary deliberation and discussion, Thus we feel strong and dangerous im- plications that this law was a mat- ter of political authoritarianism Communique KOREA—More American sold- iers have been involved in the con- tinued North Korean raids. The Communists have crossed the de- militarized zone several times in the past week since the ambush of an American jeep on the Ameri- can side of the zone early last week, in which at least three Amer- icans were killed. The latest inci- dent reported Tuesday was a clash in which five American soldiers were wounded. LONDON — Dr. Stephen Ward died Saturday after being kept barely alive by a team of physic- ians for several days following his taking a massive dose of bar- bituates. Dr. Ward has figured prominently in the Christine Keel- er and Mandy Rice-Davies sex scandal that has rocked Britain for the past two months, WASHINGTON — The FBI is guarding 60-year-old Joseph Val- achi, a narcotics trafficker and killer. Valachi has been giving the FBI detailed information on a national crime syndicate. His in- formation is thought to be the most complete ever given. Police believe that the information will lead to a smashing of organized crime in the nation. rather than of concern for the needs or the welfare of the people. One of the punposes of a gen- uine democracy is to prepare its citizens to face the problems of the age with mature minds and a strong sense of responsibility, both nurtured by a free and vig- orous discussion of all sides of issues. We feel that fast (Carolina Col- lege, along with the other colleges of our state, is on the road to ac- complishing this goal. We, the students of this generation, are strong and proud believers in the democratic way of life, as were the founders of our nation. As men and women who will inherit the responsibilities of this state and nation, we require and demand the depth of view which only the un- hindered expression of diversity of opinion can provide. We propose that House Bill 1395 be repealed to comply with the requirements of free inquiry which is essential to the contin- uance of a free society. x SGA President George Wight- man reported that the Bermuda Ball to be sponsored by the Stu- Notice Pictures will again be a re- quired part of student identi- fication beginning Fall Quart- er.

The modern strue- A penta. en oh bets ani NCS at 2—east carolinian, thursday, august 8, 1963 classroom dogma The Alabama State Board of Education adopted a reso- lution Monday making Bible reading compulsory in public schools. State law already required daily Bible reading, but the newly adopted resolution makes it a part of the course of study. Governor George Wallace, who introduced the resolution, said “if this is ever challenged while I am governor and the courts rule that we cannot read the Bible in some school, I’m going to that school and read it myself.” One can easily doubt Wallace’s promise to read the Bible in a school him- self, but his stand is justified. The United States Supreme Court greatly overstepped its boundaries when it made Bible reading illegal in public schools. Granted, no school should use the Bible to indoc- trinate the students, but the students certainly should be exposed to religious history in an educational institution. A course in ancient history would be impossible to accurately present without use of Bible references. It is thought by many that since religion is controversial, it should be taught to children in the home by the parents. That is pure folly. Combined with the efforts of the church. such religious education of a child would be criminally one- sided. Knowledge of the Bible is an intregal part of one’s intellect, and at no price must it be eliminated from the subjects covered in school. Sometime in the past century, well-meaning but ig- norant people decided that schoo] children should be pro- tected from the task of thinking which stems from_any form of controversial material. The recent Supreme Court decision is merely a culmination of that line of thought. All the way through the grades in public schools, and some- times in college, the textbooks reek of mediocracy. The most noteworthy of these are the literature books. Most of the stories are of the sing-song Pollyanna sort of trash which should never have been written, much less published. Not only are religious subjects omitted. but often stories which inspire patriotism. The usual subjects are good little boys and girls, cats, dogs, and apple trees. Nowhere is the stu- dent exposed to literature which inspires thought. The end result is often a machine-like slob without any taste and with no analytical powers. If he wants the answers to some- thing, his parents have them. Don’t laugh. Just look around. The most obvious example of where textbooks commit tremendous atrocities is in literature of the present century. Ezra Pound is one of the most influential men in the litera- ture of our century, if not the most influential. When Robert Frost was an unknown expatriate, Mr. Pound’s reviews of two of his books pushed him toward the fame he enjoyed until the time of his death. Most of the later poems of William Butler Yeats were either edited by Pound or written under his influence. Ernest Hemingway sent his earlier manu- scripts to Pound who would mark out most of the adjectives— thus the Hemingway style. Much of T. S. Eliot’s poetry, particularly “The Waste Land,” was edited by Pound. With- out the efforts of Ezra Pound, James Joyce would never have been published. Mr. Pound’s influence also branched into sculpture and music. Immediately prior to World War II, Pound took de- finite stands against policies of F. D. Roosevelt and the tyranny of the war we were about to enter. At the time, FDR’s popularity was down to 15% but this was overcome when war soothed our economic problems. After the war, the government punished Pound for his “crimes.” He was placed in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D. C., for the mentally deranged. Because he is a controversial figure, the works of Pound cannot be found in most literature texts. In many, his very existance is denied by not mentioning his tremendous in- fluence. It is past time to wipe out this petty nonsense and place education on the high level on which it belongs. vrolinian Published weekly by the students of East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina Member Carolinas Collegiate Press Association Associated Collegiate Press editor managing editor associate editor photographer | joe brannon business manager | henry bynum 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 tony r. bowen ann barbee ronald w. gollobin campus bulletin TODAY, August 8 7:00 pim.—Movie: “Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation,” Austin Tice: “The Checkered Flag” and “Trigger Happy” SATURDAY, August 10 SATURDAY CLASSES Meadowbrook: “Yellow Canary” State: “Donavan’s Reef” Pitt: “The Great Escape” FRIDAY, August 9 : 7:00 p.m. — Faculty Duplicate Bridge, Planters Bank 8:30 p.m.—College Union Combo Dance.

While we do not embrace communist theories, we abhor the actions of the General Assembly which stifled educational growth and abridged academic freedom. Secretary of State Thad Eure and Reps. Phil Godwin and Ned Delamar composed the bill which was used in a political blunder which reeks of McCarthyism, The law, which was passed under the pretense of regulating “visiting speakers,” prohibits freedom of speech on Sttate-supported cam- puses to “known” Communists, persons advocating an overthrow of the government, and anyone who has taken the Fifth Amend- ment when questioned about Com- munist affiliation. Viewed in re- lation to the Supreme Court de- cision on school prayer, Commun- ists have the same status as God. The ramifications which can re- sult from this law are obvious. Faculty members jeopardize their positions by saying anything that a narrow-minded John Bircher can construe as having pink undertones, Even text books are in danger of being snatched from the classroom by the wrath of the long right arm. And so on down the line. Furthermore, the law is a direct insult to the intelligence of stu- dents. The ultimate objective of an institution of higher education should not be to be to fill the mind of a student with the lates: in text book knowledge which wi be obso- lete when the next edition comes out; rather it should be to teach the student to think, to recognize the difference between what is good and what is evil and make the choice for the better. Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, president of East Carolina College, has taken a stand in opposition to the law. “The recently passed measure re- stricting visiting speakers from appearing on campuses of State- supported institutions of higher learning,” he said in an official statement, “has one aspect that may well diminish the great ad- vances made by our colleges in cam- batting hostile ideologies.” “O colleges have succeeded quite well in removing glamor and hence martydom from those that elect to preach philosophies for- eign to our way of life. “We have found that debate on comparative worth of democracy vs. totalitarianism invariably puts democracy in a very favorable light. This instruction is more ef- fective when students discover this for themselves.” The last sentence is most im- pressive. It shows the trust which Dr. Jenkins has in the mental capacities of the students. With such men behind us, the stinging breach of our freedom to analyze for ourselves can be corrected. Remember ‘Sergeant’ Author EDITOR’S NOTE: The following editorial appeared in THE W K- LY, Chapel Hill. Many on campus will remember Mac pl as a member of the Department of English last year. Mac Hyman wasn’t one you would figure to have written a novel with the gut-busting humor of No Time for Sergeants. In fact, if there was any ribald humor in him, the only way it ever came out was through his pen. He spent a summer in Chapel Hill six or seven years ago, living with his wife and children on ‘Country Club Road in a vacation- ing professor’s house. The house avas pretty well secluded, Mac Hy. man even more so. He was perched on a huge out. cropping of rock beside the house one afternoon waiting for the ar- rival of a newspaper reporter and photographer, with about the same enthusiasm that you wait for the stroke of a fuillotine. The photographer tried several] times to get him ito smile and the harder he tried the closer Hyman seemed to be verging on tears. “I ean’t smile,” Hyman said finally, and that ended that. He never got around to explaining why. At the time, No Time for Serg- eants was still knocking around the best-seller list, had been made into a TV play, a Broadway pl: Llano. Hyman’s agent had figured to scoop off more cream by putting him on the lecture tour. “I can’t talk in front of audiences,” Hyman said, and that ended that. He had consented to go to Holly- wood to look over a fat offer to do the screen treatment. After a few cays in California. he shrugged off the offer and headed home. What he really wanted t he said when he was pended in Chapel Hill, was to return to his hometown, Cordele, Georgia.

Ebenstein, one of the world’s most distinguished political theorists, spoke in his public lec- ture on “The Challenge of Com- munism,” going on record as being in favor of leaving the Berlin Wall up as a monument to tyranny. As the professor explained, the challenge of Communism is from external or imtermational Com- munism rather than internal over- throw and sabotage. Dr. Ebenstein stated that though he deplores elements of the radi- cal Right he did not see then as a great danger. He is not in favor of recognition of Red China be- cause, as he pointed out, they are on record showing themselves not to be a peace-loving country. The professor gave his views on public school education, stating that he thought that the greatness and srengths of our own system should be stressed more than the dangers of the opposing system. In giving his viewpoints on this type of a positive approach, he said that he thought that school children and many adults as a whole are not aware enough of the heritage of the free world and that a knowledge of this heritage will make them proof against emotional propaganda from proponents of totalitarianism. Dr. Howell and Dr. Williams, di- rectors of the workshop on Com- munism, stated that they were very pleased with Dr. Ebenstein’s role in ithe institute. Dr. Williams thought that many students were not aware of the significant place that Professor Ebenstein occupies in the world among political ex- perts. He is the author of a_best- selling book, TODAY’s ISMS, Baptists Announce Summer Program Connie Radford, Summer School President, aided by the other East Carolina Baptist Student Union of. ficers, has begun pians for second session events and programs.

Dr. Ebenstein taught at Prince- ton for sixteen years and, in ad- dition to holding other important positions, he was a consultant for UNESCO. Dr. Ebenstein was born in Austria and educated at the University of Vierma and the Uni- versty of Wisconsin.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to widespread interest in the East Carolina Institute on Constitutional Democracy and Totalitarianism, the following article was prepared by the Col- lege News Bureau 88 a special to the Associated Press. An effort to bridge the gap in North Carolina social studies in- struction—left by a lack of under- standing of communist ideology— is under way here in the form of a three-week institute for 54 pub- lic school teachers. A panel of top-ranking experts in comparing constitutional de- mocracy with communist ideology, totalitarianism, has been brought to the East Carolina College cam- pus, picked by Governor Sanford for the institute, to present funda- mentals in both theories of govern- ment. The problem which stimulated efforts to organize the course 18 candidly summarized by one of the institute’s key lecturers, University of California professor Dr. Will- jam Ebenstein, internationally- re- spected political scientist: “Amateur teaching about com- munism is about as harmless as amateur brain surgery.” Ebenstein’s view coincides with that of the North Carolina Depart- ment of Public Instruction which has acknowledged a dire need for instruction abont communism in the state’s public schools. But it has also noted a general absence ef qualified instructors. The ECC institute, suggested by the state’s Educational Council on National Purposes headed by High Point newspaper editor Holt Mc- Pherson, seeks to inject into the general void of teachers an initial hypodermic dose of qualified pers- onnel, North Carolina’s institute, which attracted educators from 40 coun- ties, is among the half-dozen pro- grams of its kind in the entire na- tion. Staff members and guest lecturers here rank the Tar Heel version with the best. Other schools exploring the new approach of arming social studies teachers for courses and questions about communism include the Uni- versity of California, the Universi- ty of South Carolina, Vanderbilt cae and St. Louis Universi- y- Ebenstein sees in the institute an approach as logical as it is vital to the problem of launching an expedition toward an ultimate goal of nation-wide instruction about communism in the public schools. The need for putting the horse before the cart, Ehbenstein’s view, is this: “If high school youngsters should know something about communism, who should teach it? Self-appointed ‘experts’ .. . or professional schol- ars equipped with proper training in the field of history of Marxist and Communist doctrine. Exper- ience has shown that where re- sponsible educators don’t do this job irresponsible rabble-rousers and the ill-informed step in.” Gov. Sanford’s view parallels and amplifies that of BEbenstein and others connected with the ECC ins- titute: “We feel that the Institute has met an important need in our edu- cational program” because “com- munism cannot survive the bright light, and sharp knife of intelli- gent questioning,” provided by the three weeks of intensive training. The institute, which began July 24 and closes August 16, is costing about, $25.000—includine ECC staff time, $8,500 foundation dollars piped through the Council on Na- tional Purposes, $10,850 for 49 Do you have any future securities?

Secretary of State Dean Rusk stated, “Our three governments have today (Monday) taken what all mankind must hope will be the first step on the road to a secure and peaceful world.” It was stated in a communique by the three powers that they “have stressed their hope that further progress will be achieved toward that end.” The treaty was called by Lord Home, British foreign secretary, a “breakthrough in relations be- tween our countries.” Other state ments seemed to indicate that the powers believed that nuclear war was impossible, but Dean Rusk stated that “it does not end the threat.” Premier Khrushchev of the Sov- iet Union listened with rapt at- tention to the words of the for- eign ministers immediately after signing the treaty, but made no official statement himself. The ban affects underwater, space, and a‘mospheric testing, but does not eliminate umnder- ground nuclear blasts. Specialized courses in geography include urban geography, urban and regional planning, principles of urban site design, land devel- opment, and techniques of field geography. In addition to the course work, pre-professional mi- nors will attend scheduled semin- ars organized by the newly-form- ed Institute for Research in Reg- ional Development. These meet- ings will be part of the Institute’s work in research and aid to plann- ing and development agencies on the coastal plain. The need for well-qualified plan- ners is acute, particularly here in eastern North Carolina. Planners are employed by cities, counties, states, and the federal government, as well as by industrial and inde- pendent planning firms. Every year there are about twice as many jobs available as there are qualified professional graduates. The De- partment of Geography has placed many students in this field with starting salaries of $6,000. The ‘Department has consulted various planning schools and cer- tain individual planners before ap- proving the program.
