Such phrases describe s of many of the world’s inhabitants, as the upcom the feeling ine holiday season approaches. The upcoming festivities, originally stemming from the Christian celebration of the birth of Cl have now taken on the unique quality of meaning something to almost every perso: this country, regardless of religious belief, ocial and economic status, or cultural origin. f the inhabitants of this nation, the upcoming For some 0 Christmas holidays will be a period of religious revitalization. For others, the days will provide a time for good fellowship they will be days with relatives and friends. For still others, that allow a much-needed mental and physical rest. the holiday No matter what the significance might be, period commonly called Christmas promises to be very import- ant to every American, being characterized as a time of merri- ment, good spirit, and gifts. however, who will not feel the tangible There aspects of the approaching holiday atmosphere. The pangs of are some, poverty and the coldness of social ostracism will considerably dampen for them the Christmas joy that comes so naturally to most of us. All too often, we, in our haste and selfishness, fail to grasp the true significance of this holiday season, allowing such a time of good will and kindness to become perverted by our willingness to stay within the confines of our narrow little worlds. In a world characterized by strife and dissention, the time of the Christmas holidays should provide a welcome re- spite, replacing some of that sorrow with universal joy, Only by sharing the good things that have come our way, and by displaying some of the spirit of brotherhood that, despite its form for cular individuals, is the primary rea- label or partic son for the holiday season, can this end be achieved. It is the firm wish of this Editor that each member of the East happiness of the best of Christmas seasons, but at the same Carolina University family experience the joy and time realizing that such true joy and happiness can only come from sharing with those not so fortunate. Christmas as a season has the capacity for providing more happiness to the people of the world than does any other holi- day, but also bears with it the responsibility for each human that he take time from his own enjoyment to consider the state of his fellow. @ fast Carolinian Bast Carelina University ed semiweekly by the students of East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina Member Associated Collegiate Press, United States Student Pres : ' Serviced by ntercollegiate Press Service, Southern In is Press Service of Associated ‘Collegiate Pres. oe Editor-In-Chief Wes Business Manager | Don Benson Managing litor | Nelda Lowe Production Manager | Larry Oakley News Editors | Gerald Roberson | Janet Fulbright Features Editor | Chloe Crawford Editorials Editor | James Hord Sports Editor | John Lowe Circulation Manager | Butch Roberts Advertising Manager | Clyde Hughes Business Assistant | Doris Foster Tatercollegiate Presa, Aasootattor Collegiate Press Service, Service, Sumner | Photographers | Walt Quade | Butch Roberta Cartoonist | Charles Mock Delivery | Keith Andrews Subscription rate $5.00 Box 2616, East Carolina Universit, Telephone: a dd Mailing sddress: y Station, Greenville, N. © 752-5716 or 758-8426, extension 264 naabenis GEST SALES & SERVICES, INC - 30 Lexinator ae. ; 1 New York, N.Y. 10017 | me rime Eaito I would like to give a reply to Leonard Mancini’s editorial con- cerning the ‘‘Righ in Conflict report.

I will answer those questions by quoting from the ‘‘Rights in Conflict’’ book ind from NEWSWEEK and TIME agazines M1 Mancin eem » believe the book is ‘‘an additional chapte1 in the book of philosophical smoke that 1 writter published, and ¢ Vrited r commu tions media On the contrary t ssued by a Chicago study team d rected by Daniel Walker.

It took the form of ob- scene epithets, and of rocks, sticks, bathroom tiles, and human feces hurled at police by demonsrators Furthermore, the police had been put on edge by widely published threats of attempts to disrupt both the city and the convention.” The next question was: ‘‘Where are the words telling of the harsh acts of only a small group of po- licemen and surely not the entire Chicago police force as one would have been led to believe?’’ In last weeks TIME (one of our news me- dia) it clearly states: ‘‘The report confirms the earlier impression that the Chicago police force — in Major Daley’s celebrated euphe- mism — ‘overreacted.’ But it also stresses the provocations they suf- fered and records examples of po- lice restraint.’’ The last question is ‘Where are the words telling of the guilty po- licemen who had in fact been dis- cipled and suspended by the au- thorities?”’ Mr. Mancini can find the answer to this question on page 35, of TIME (Dec. 6) which states: As the Walker report comments there has been no public condem nation of these violators of sound police-procedures and common de- ceney by either their commanding officers or city officials.

It must have been ex- remely easy for Mr. Mancini to have criticized the news media and the Walker report. I think he should have the facts more carefully be- fore foiming his opinions. I do not condone the demonstra - tors for what they did, nor do I con- done the Chicago police force for their actions. I believe our news media in general and the Walker Report in particular have lived up to the responsibilities they have to our society Sincerely, Mickey Little . Surprise To the Editor: Surprise! Surprise! The EAST CAROLINIAN finally has a journa- list capable of doing something other than reporting the facts. I refer of course to the recent ar- ticle «Dec. 12) by Foster McTag- gart. I found myself highly enter- tained by Mr, McTaggart’s account concerning the death of “Big Red’. There is, however one question which concerns me. I should like to know why the East Carolina Debate Team finds it necessary to travel in the coach’s personal car. I realize that several month’s no- tice is necessary in order for the debate team to obtain a state ve- hicle, but it only seems reasonable to me that an exception could be made to the rule before it would becoine necessary for people as important as the debate team to travel all the way to Pittsburgh distance of 1000 miles round trip) in something like “Big Red.’’ Perhaps I do not know the full Story.

Several students have uggestion, since the ing classes on squelched, This seems to be a very good idea and would benefit many students in several different ways First of all, students who get out of class at five o’clock do not relish the long drive ahead of them. Thi: is because most of the driving wou- ld have to be done during the hours of cusk, or right after dark. As Statistics have shown, more acci- dents occur during thi period of ispend classes at noon made thi rumor of end Wednesday wa time than at any other. Secondly, many students do not have an automobile and a_ ride must be obtained in the best pos: ible way. This necessitates the for mation of cur-pools, or other re-the-gas’’ arrangements. ¥ current leaving te your ] ; noon, this problem would be viated. Thirdly, the question must be isked: Will the possible gains out- weigh the losses of attending class Friday afternoon? In other words, how much is actually accomplished in most classes during this period of time? In my opinion, very little. Concentration on the subject mat- ter is at a low ebb because of the anticipation of going home for the holidays, The only _ possible disadvantage to ending classes at noon would be the large volumn of traffie which would depart from Greenville at approximately the same time. (Wit- ness the traffic ensnarlment re- sulting from a football or basket- ball game.)

Lennon, head of the manuscript collection. East Carolina’s manuscript collec- tors located 27 family collections in its first two years; and since Dr. Lennon joined the staff, in 1967, 46 more have been added Most of the material in the manuscript collection concerns United States history with a par- ticular emphasis on North Caro- lina history. According to Dr. Lennon, the five areas in which the EC.U. Manuscript Collection is the strong- est are agriculture, civil war, poli- tics, government and the twentieth -entury. Some papers are given 1 the collection outright by families, while others are only toaned and are returned upon request of the family In conclusion Dr. Lennon urged students who know of any family papers thav might possibly be of historical value to get in touc b with him at his office, room 246, of the library eet The EAST CAROLINIAN urges all students, faculty mem- bers, administrators, and mem- bers of the University commun- ity to express their opinions 10 writing. ; Th EAST CAROLINIAN editorial page is an open forum in which such articles may be published.

Every sense seemed to be excitingly a- wake. Inside I felt an intense full- ness . of joy, generosity, kind- ness. Soon I passed a small alley and found myself pausing to in- hale the delicious scent of fresh pine and cedar. Here was the Christ- mas-tree-man with scores of trees for families and iriends to come together to trim the tree. Christ- mas is a time to be together with those you love, I decided. On I walked, not really knowing where I was going, when ‘ting’ a small snowflake perched on the tip of my nose. The unexpected chill felt good. I then realized that this tingling feeling was contagious and had spread over me. I felt very a- live and happy. I wanted to skip instead of walk. I wished that I could inhale and abgorb all the tingling icy friendliness of the air. I continued to fight through the crowd of shoppers with their arms full of packages. People were bust- ling everywhere. Christmas lights and decorations adorned each cor- ner. It was so exciting .. . the redd- ery, the bluery, the greenery! I slowed my pace and just thou- ght of past Christmases and of the presents I’d buy for this Christ- mas. I must have thought for a long time for suddenly I realized that there were no more shoppers or lights but run-down old houses and a few children playing in the street. The snow was getting pretty deep by now and it was freezing cold. I stopped to watch the children. They were under- dressed for the weather in merely sweaters and one had on sandels about three sizes too large for him. A small girl wandered over to speak to me. ‘Hi’ she said as she smiled and tightened her ragged carf, ‘‘who you?’’ I told her my name and asked her, “Well, what is 1 Claus going to bring you?” Her little face brightened and she stretched skinny arms to say ‘A walking doll this big’’, then a serious look prevailed a _ conte- nance much too young for such serious thought and she added, “But sometimes he forgets.’’ I simply couldn’t think of anything to say to that so I gently patted her on the head and walked back toward the downtown area. Her words seemed to haint me “But sometimes he forgets.’’ My pace had picked up now for it was really getting cold. ‘The build- ings were getting taller so I knew I was making progress. I was next to a pretty tall building, I looked up and saw that it was a church. I felt an uncontrollable urge to go inside. I sat on the back pew and begin to think. The little girls’ words kept coming to my mind. Suddenly I felt as though I had a conclusion that I had been trying to read . . . this commercialized world has made it sadly necessary for Santa Claus to forget some lit- tle children but there is no ex- cuse for people to completely by- pass the real meaning of Christmas.

The changes in American values, or character that he noted are: —Hedonism.

C. the present, long-term goals are not sought, and instant gratifica- tion is demanded for most wants and desires. —Impulsivness. He poinvea out that 75 per cent of the items peo- ple buy in supermarkets are based on ‘‘spur-of-the-moment”’ decisions. People simply buy things which they do not need. —Wastefulness. Pecpie are en- couraged to throw things away, to purchase bigger and better things, and to discourage prudence. —Narcissism. This is demonstra- ted by the large amount of money spent on cosmetics by both men and women. People are always “looking in mirrors,’’ primping, and trying to achieve social recognition. In fact, last year over a half bil- lion dollars was spent on wigs, he said. Television is partially the blame for the changes in our character, according to Packard. For example, by the time a person finishes high school, he has spent an average of 15,000 hours watching television — which is approximately equal to the amount of time he has spent in classroom. Of this 15,000 hours of TV watch- ing, an average of 2,500 hours has been commercials. Most of these commercials are presented on a childish level — such as the pro- motion of selfish interests, im- mediate gratification, self-indul- gence, and materialism. This has led to a saturation of our culture.
