Both castigate SGA president David Lloyd for the re placement of one SGA receptionist with a new person. Both charge that the appointment of a new receptionist was based on motives of political animosity. One uses the term “nolitical rivalry” and the other “political paranoia.” 2—East Carolinian—Thursday, October 10, 1968 Both letters, however, fail to consider one item of prima facie evidence in the case they have presented. Neither author sees fit to mention that the “dismissal” was made by the SGA president upon a motion of the executive council, and only after a meeting of that body on the matter. It is not the policy of this newspaper to take sides in the political arena surrounding the SGA of East Carolina Uni- versity. It is, however, the policy of this newspaper to as- sure the student body that the complete facts are presented to them in matters dealing with their Student Government Asso- ciation. one that should concern the stu- The matter is, in effect, es eir elected officials dents of this university, for the actions of th have a direct bearing on them, as constituents. Ths Editor fully realizes that the replacement of one re- ceptionist with a new one is a matter that has vast potential for such concern. However, it can hardly be construed as one that vitally affects the lives of the students of this university. certainly not worthy of extreme measures. As long as the political process remains active on this campus, there will arise policies and actions of the elected of- ficers that provoke adverse reactions from certain segments of the student population. That is as it should be, for only in ar atmosphere where dissent can be voiced in a responsible man ner can a true democracy exist. However, it is the respons)- bility of those who choose to dissent to be willing to forsake their own party loyalties and uncover the true facts of the matter. Whether or not the replacement within the confines of power of the executive council is large- ly a matter of personal interpretation. Whether or not it was in good taste depends also on personal interpretation. How- ever, since the executive council is responsible for the hiring of such full-time personnel, it strikes this Editor that it is also their perogative to replace those persons. of the receptionist was The entire focus of this discussion by the opponents of the administration seems to be an attempt to remove the pres- ident from office through the use of the recall, a topic that has been discussed in conjunction with the replacement of the receptionist. In order for this to take place, however, the proponents of this movement would have to attract the signatures of 15 per cent of the student body, which would be about 1,500 per- sons. Tt seems highly unlikely that 1,500 students on this cam- pus are greatly enough affected by the dismissal and replace- ment of one receptionist that such action would be feasible. This is a matter that is highly wrought with political emotions, not just for one side, but for both. When the fire of political feeling is removed from the act, it is certain to strike the average student as quite insignificant in comparsion to some of the major issues of the day. @ Fast farolinian Bast Cerelins University Published semiweekly by the students of East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina Member Intercollegiate Press, Associated Collegiate Press, United States Student Press Association Serviced by Collegiate Press Service, Intercollegiate Press Service, Southern Intercollegiate Pres Service, Press Service of Associated Collegiate Press Editor-in-Chief | Wes Sumner Business Manager | Abbey Foy Managing Editor | Richard Foster Production Manager | Dale Brinson News Editors | Nelda Lowe | Janet Fulbright Features Editor | Chloe Crawford Editorials Editor | Whitney Hadden Sports Editor | John Lowe Circulation Manager | Don Benson Delivery | Butch Roberts | Gerald Robertson David Dail Mary Jane Phillips Dave Spence Chuck White Kenny Winston James Hord | Reid Overcash | Walt Whittemore Diane Foster | Bob Lindfelt Photographers | Walt Quade } Butch Roberts Cartoonist | Charles Mock Subscription rate $5.00 Wailing address: Box 2516, East Carolina University Station ville, Telephone: 782-5716 or 758-8426, extension 68. ee Advertising Manager Layout Staff Reporters Steet REPRESENTED POR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Educational Advertising Services A DIVISION OF READER'S DIGEST SALES & SERVICES, INC. 360 Lexington Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017 even ven Inefficient? To the Editor: Last week our illustrious Presi- dent from his ‘‘executive desk’’ an- nounced the hiring of the new S.- G.A. full-time secretary. However, he failed to mention the firing for “inefficiency”? of the late secre- tary, Cheryl Meares Cheryl Meares was one of the most efficient secretaries S.G.A. has hired in the past four years.

Although some of our coaches probably discourage fra- ternity participation, they do this with just cause. Attending classes, athletic practices, and studying is time consuming enough for anyone Since you chose to remain anon- ymous, you appeared to lack the conviction or courage of your chal- lenge, As an obvious non-athlete, it is understandable that you have never known the fellowship of sport or the feeling of brotherhood that these ‘cliques of athletes” enjoy.

It is a brotherhood that welcomes all — rich, poo; black, white. , The fault does not seem to lie jp the athletes, or even in the coach. es, but in the fraternities. The stereotype that many East Cam. lina fraternity men have createg for themselves is not one that wou. ld attract most of our athletes What football player would want to hang around with the boys who wear their pants too high, and mo. nopolize the CU tables all day? How do the fraternity men think the football team feels about their “third quarter exits from home football games?’’ Is this how yoy support athletics? Is a football game a social event or an athletic event? Is the parading of obscene banners in front of the stands the best support the East Carolina fra. ternities can offer our athletic teams?

In John 10:10 we read: “I am ome that they might have life ind that they might have it more abundantly.’ If Jesus Christ came that we might have life and have i tmore abundantly, either. He told the truth or He lied. If He lied to us at this point in the Word of Ge , then the best hing you and I ould do would be to discard the BIBLE is not reliable here, how can we trust it anywhere else? But if Jesus told the truth if He meant what he said and said what He meant when He declared He Computerized Roomies By JAMES HORD Editorials Editor This is the first of a series of editorials dealing with campus af- fairs, national and _ international occurrences, advances in education and science, and various other events affecting the lives of stu- dents written and interpreted from the viewpoint of a student. I have been selectec as Editorials Editor of the East Carolinian for the remainder of the school year. The purpose of the Editorial Edi- tor is to express opinions, and state policies on matters pertaining to students. The ECU Forum, located else- where on this page, is to be used by students to express their opin- ions on various matters, and to register dissent. Write us if you encounter any problems, inadequ- acies, or if you ‘“‘just feel like you are getting the royal shaft.’’ Pub- licity will be given to bona fide problems and solutions may be prof- fered. Also, guest editorials are permitted periodically. SUNY at Stoney Brook has an interesting set-up to aid freshmen in the assignment of roommates. They make use of a ‘Freshman Compatibility Form” which mat- ches freshmen, to some deeree, ac- cording to certain personality traits, interests, likes-dislikes, and sever- al other factors. The purpose of this is to make the best possible assignment of roommates and to facilitate adjust- ment of students in their first year of college. After all, it is usually the first year that ‘‘makes or bre- aks’’ a student. Some examples of the present naphazard system of selection can be enumerated. Suppose a student 1s deeply interested in jazz or clas- sical music — he may be assigned a roommate who insists on playing soul music for ten hours a day. Or, take the case of a student with a fetish for cleanliness —- his room- mate may be a slob. The most ser- ious case, however, is the assigning of serious-minded students with the loud-mouthed, party-types, who could care less for studying. Of course, some students may want to have a roommate who is quite different from them. That should be their privilege. But in most cases, students like to be as- signed roommates who have at least something in common. Maybe the administration could look into this matter and devise son: type of system that would, w.thin a certain range, match freshmen with roommates of com- mon interests. In a school such as ECU with approximately 3,500 fresh- men, this system does not seem too inappropriate. ame that we might have hfe and have it more abundantly urely there must be keys, must be signposts that will guide us into the understanding and the receiving of a move abundant life As I look about today at different people in the churches and in the communities, I fail to see an a- bundant life. You look out at the so called ‘‘secular world’? and yot non-Christians manife: more of an abundant life th: people of the church. “Tf - Christ came that men and women might have life more abundantly why is it that the Christian be- lievers do not manifest an abun- dant life?’ In II Timothy 2:15, we find out how we can stand approved be- fore God. ‘Study to shew thysel! approved unto God, a workmat that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of tr- th.’ Evidently people have been wrongly dividing the Word of God Wonder why we have over 2,00 denominations. With these denom- inations, we have 2,000 different ‘dividings’’ — wrong dividings People should be able to go to & church expecting to get some alls- wers, to get something they cat work into their life to live the more abundant life. It is a shame it 's the last place in the world ther can go for truth. There is only one place in Gre- enville that teaches the keys, and shows the signposts to people that they can open the BIBLE in is accuracy and greatness so it fits with a scientific acuteness mathematical exactness so every: body can work the more abundant life in their own life.
