The Bucs could only manage three hits off five Duke pitchers, but they used nine walks and a sacrifice fly to help push in their five runs as they led the Blue Devils twice during the game. However, Duke got eight hits off seven Buc hurlers to go with five walks to account for their runs, The Blue Devils, acting like devils on the basepaths, stole five bases in the first three innings to keep runners in scoring position as they ran upa 3-1 lead. The Bucs also contributed three errors, which Tuesday DURHAM didn’t help any. East Carolina jumped off toa 1-0 lead, but Duke bounced back to go ahead by 2-1 in the first inning.

Richard Corrada opened the game with a first pitch liner off third baseman John Posen’‘s glove for a hit. Jim Lanier followed with a line single to right with Corrada holding at second. Both runners moved up on a passed ball, and then with one out, Carey Anderson lifted a long fly to center to score Corrada for the Buc’s 1-0 lead.

Tim Teer started Duke’s half of the third with a single to center. He then stole second and continued to third when no one covered second as the throw sailed into centerfield. One out later, Randy Blanchard scored Teer on a sacrifice fly to center, making it 3-1. Duke had a big threat in the fourth, loading the bases with two outs, but Teer ended the inning by grounding out to first baseman Wayne Vick. Neither team threatened in the fifth or sixth innings, but the pot came to a quick boil for both teams in the seventh. Len Dowd and Dennis Vick both walked to start the Bucs’ half of the seventh. After pitcher Mitchell Hughes moved them up with a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt, Corrada scored Dowd ona sacrifice fly to center to make it 3-2. Lanier and Stu Garrett each walked to load the bases. Carey Anderson then unloaded a double to left that cleared the bases, giving East Carolina a 5-3 lead.

Dennis Vick grounded to short and Shields was thrown out trying to advance to third as Vick reached first.

Seith moved to second on a ground out. One out later, Smith walked, to put runners on first and second. Teer beat out an infield hit as Seith, running with two out, scored from second to make it 7-5 and give Duke a needed insurance run. In the top of the ninth, East Carolina went down in order for only the second time as the Dukes escaped with their 7-5 verdict. Posen got a single and a double, while Teer got a pair of singles to lead the Duke attack, while Randy Blanchard drove in three runs.

Student publications from more than 1,000 colleges and universities across the nation compete for this award on the basis of content, writing and makeup in categories based on enrollment, frequency of publication and method of printing. The All-American, the highest obtainable award, is awarded only to those publications that exhibit “exceptional merit in all categories of magazine journalism.’’ Last year, no more than 5 of these awards were given nationwide. The magazines submitted by the ‘Rebel’ staff were the winter, spring and fall issues of 1968. The editors for the first two issues judged were Miss Nellie Johanna Lee and John Reynolds with Chip Callaway as managing editor The third issue judged was edited by John Reynolds and Chip Callaway with Beverly Jones as managing editor. The “Rebel.” ECU's only publication to receive this national award is also the holder of an excellence grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. Jenkins pledges full support for campus medical school vy Donna Dixon Dr. Leo Jenkins firmly pledged the continued interest and involvement of ECU to improve the health care problem in Eastern North Carolina Saturday night. In a speech before the State Society Radiologic Technologists Convention held at the local Moose Ledge, President Jenkins again promised his full support for a medical school on campus. ‘We want to help our region to develop to its full potential, ’’ he said. ‘Whenever we can identify a problem in our region, we plan, together with our citizens, the approach to its solution.” Manpower and facilities needed Citing case after case of disparities in health care Manpower and_ facilities, Dr. Jenkins told the convention that the image of the East could only be improved by better health. “Many of our counties compare poorly with the rest of the state in per capita income, in level of educational acheivement and in all other socio-economic indices,’’ he stated. Dr. Jenkins observed that after better education and more and better paying jobs came for Eastern North Carolina, the mage of the area would never be 'Mproved without good health In his fight for a medical school for the University, Dr. Jenkins’ primary tool has been the fact of the obvious shortage of health care manpower and health facilities in Eastern North Carolina. Encouraged by Governor Bob Scott’s recent spoken support for a medical school on campus, Dr. Jenkins told the convention that the east “has only just begun to realize its future potential”. “The sleeping giant has stirred, flexed his muscles, and taken a few strides toward a better life,” he explained. Better life “Our struggle to improve our economy, to raise our level of educational acheivement, to make a better life for all of our people — this struggle cannot succeed without adequate health care,” he continued. In concluding, Dr. Jenkins declared, ‘Much remains to be done... we will vigorously pursue our goals in our proven cooperative way.” President Jenkins’ speech was followed with another by Republican Jim Gardner. Gardner presented after his speech to members of the convention tor best exhibits awards displayed and best papers written during the two-day session. EE es ——E——————— The East Carolinian movie review by A. W. Olson “Seems to me I've heard this tune before.” “The Restless Ones’’ is not a put-on. It is a story of those faceless and mindless middle Americans and the by-products of their marriages. The kids are wild, groovy, neat and vapid. They have no moral standards of right and wrong because society (parents, peers and television) has failed to relate the experience of living to its adolescents. The familiar results of materialism and the quickness of life are again impressed upon us as evil and not conducive to our spiritual sangunity. The amazing Billy Graham, outstanding orator, successful businessman, and compadre to our president, gives all America the answer. And right he is. All we need is for all people to “thinkfeelknow” about all things in the “right’’ manner. The plot is trite. The acting is mediocre except perhaps for Kim Darby who plays the ‘‘bad girl.” She has the lines and delivers them effectively. Before the showing a special announcement informs us that the medium is incidental to the great ‘‘message’’ contained herein. Actually the delivery of Billy Graham far overshadows the content of his orations. No one could possibly refute the power of faith but this flick in its simplistic, black-white, either-or way causes the audience to wonder about the honesty of anything so naively presented. The film reveals that a togetherness of humanity through a uniform awareness of the “truth” of the Christian gospel will end all the myriad hangups of adult and non-adult America. But as this is Grahan’s picture, the universal awareness of the Christian faith is underscored as the necessary instrument for absolute togetherness. Actually, any doctrine or ethic which is held as the ‘truth’ by all the world would yield the same actuality. One cannot please all the people all the time, As Abraham Lincoln said, but then he had not read Huxley's ‘Brave New World.” | cannot recommend this film for anyone other than those already convinced of the “truth” of the Christian ethic.

Tuesday, March 18, 1969 International students model spring fashions by Donna Dixon Spring fashions burst into full bloom in an exciting array of colors at Wright Auditorium here Wednesday night. A fashion show presented by the International Student Club set the scene. Backed by the light and “springy’’ music of the Soul Creation and flowers as colorful as their outfits, nine members of the ISC modeled the latest in style and fashion for the campus coeds and gents. Prior to the presentation of the fashions, all from downtown Belk-Tyler’s, a “cavalcade of swimwear’ from the past was reviewed. The cavalcade included swimsuits from the modest 1870's to the daring and roaring ‘20's, topped by bare twp-piece sets and even barer bikinis. If the show is any sign of spring fashions, the campus coed can look for all-feminine, splashy bermuda and pant suits, flower-printed sun dresses, and soft pastel dress clothes; all featuring the reds and blues, yellow, pink, and neutral colors. For the male student, slacks and bermudas with matching knit shirts and double-breasted blazers and turtle necks will set the spring scene. Hues of rust, green, and neutral shades should prove to be the popular new colors. Mrs. Judith Brett, promotion director for the local Belk-Tyler Company and commentator for the fashion show, aave detailed descriptions of each outfit modeled. Models for the show were Olicia Cavallo, Marilyn Reynders, Myrna _ Pecunia, Patricia Alezina, Andi Hasty, Marcia Gill, Toshiko Ryu, Allen Chan, and Geoff Knowles. As sponsor of the show, the International Student Club launched the ‘‘Swinging Spring’ fashion show as its first major project. ‘ Before the fashion show began, ISC president Allen Chan told the audience that the primary objective of the show was to raise money for the club and promote its countries. ‘We want ECU students to recognize our organization on campus,” he said, “and to recognize us as students.” Organized last fall, the club elected Allen Chan as its first president and has more than 30 members from 13 different countries in the world including the U.S. Past activities of the ISC have included speaking appearances to church groups, clubs, and civic clubs. women’s Tuesday, March 18, 1969 The East Carolinian State Student Legislature awards EC Best Delegation, Best Bill, Senate presidency ECU returned from the annual State Student Legislature SSL) with three major honors Best Delegation award, Best Bill from a large school, and the office of president of the senate. Sen. Ted Kennedy sent the 25-member ECU delegation a letter of endorsement on its bill, the North Carolina Anatomical Gift and Transplantation of Vital Organs Act. David Lloyd was elected president of the senate while Cherry Stokes received runner-up for the Best Spe. ker award. Reid Overcash, nominated for speaker of the house, lost the position by only one vote on the first ballot, to Patty Jenkins of Duke University. Best Delegation award was given jointly to ECU and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (A&T), a predominately black university. However. A&T refused to accept the Conference Committee's joint award. Willie Drake of A&T stated that the award was ‘‘nothing but mere tokenism.’’ A&T felt that theirs was the best delegation and should have the award by themselves, related ECU Delegation Chairman John Schofield. A&T asked the entire SSL body to rule on the award. Considering the original dec ‘ion of a joint award as valid, the 3SL refused to make a decision, at which time A&T witharcw, giving ECU the Best Delegation award.

The ECU bill was written to conform to North Carolina contractual laws. The intention of the bill arose from a case in Houston, Tex. where a_ transplant team was indicted for murder and malpractice after man from a heart-lung machine, a life support system. The doctors agreed that the man’s life had no meaning and he was existing as a vegetable. His wife pressed charges. Elimination of such criminal proceedings upon a doctor that acts in good faith is the purpose of the ECU bill. removing a SSL’s Effectiveness SSL is the oldest continuing body of its type in the nation. From the first session in 1937 until 1964, students met in the state capitol. Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium has been the setting since the capitol was declared a historical landmark and off-limits to any group except state legislators. Thirty-one major colleges and universities of N.C. were represented at the 1969 session last month with over 300 students attending the four-day affair. “SSL is well ahead of its time in pieces of legislation,’ said Delegation Chairman Schofield. “Four out of every 10 bills passed by SSL are eventually passed by the General Assembly .”” Schofield cited as examples the SSL’s recommendation of reflectorized license plated two -10 Special 3 Hr.

Dicks Sonato by Beethoven, Here Cliburn showed that he had definite ideas about the interpretation of the piece, which included some interestingly quick and subtle dynamic changes. In the allegro sections, the audience was treated to some virtuoso playing. The last piece before intermission, the Prokofieff Sonata NO. 6 in A major, Opus 82, was preceded by an explanatory speech by Cliburn, concerning the circumstances of the piece’s composition. In this selection Cliburn turned in some extraordinary bravura pianism in an cbviously difficult piece. Some of Cliburn’s performance characteristics were in great evidence during this selection, including the side-to-side head-wagging, the sudden forward ‘‘attacking’” of the keyboard, and backward leaning in the soaring passages. The entire second half of the program consisted of five works by the great composer for the piano, Frederic Chopin. Cliburn did not fall into the trap of playing these pieces with tinkling fragility, but gave even the light, lyrical sections an inner strength and substance.

Many of the poems are either localized or current; Frederick Sorenson's in particular seem to anticipate the title of the collection, his habitually southern settings becoming as localized as Pitt Memorial Hospital in the poem by that name. War is a popular theme; so is. the Apollo 8 space project (about which two excellent poems appear, one by Charles Griffin and one by Richard Capps), yet the poems are remarkably accurate in their aim as well as current. They are evenly paced and verbal'y economic, with images that are genuinely startling in their accuracy appearing often enough to catch the reader’s mind without inhibiting his absorption of the idea being treated. Though verbal economy is a kind of poetic virtue, the real test of a good poet is the production of a poem whose sheer length requires sustained effort on one topic or in one form. The repeated use of (one could almost say the dependence upon) one form in most of the poems is only a_ technical weakness; the absence of any long poem whatsoever is a more serious omission.

Seated left to right: and Vernon Ward, editor The clear-cut themes and clever rhymes of Richard Capps’ poems provide a real upbeat in the second section, even if the reader finds that he is the object of one of those half-cynical, unsubtle barbs that are slung so successfully. Capps is most effective in his use of twisted or parodied borrowings from other poets—a snatch from W.E. Henley, another from Poe, another from Edward Lear, all turned to his own purposes.

Mere potential is not publishable except locally, and the potential which seemed to scream obscenely at the readers Richard Capps (poet) of Charles Griffin’s earlier poems has become a firm poetic voice. The range of mood and subject in this too-short sampling gives the poet a chance to show more technical proficiency than one expects in so original a poet. The poems are distinctly purposeful and imaginatively accomplished, even down to the conscious (but not self-conscious, as perhaps was true earlier) perfection of words and phrases. Those poems which demand several readings, such as “Sixth June Day of Public Death,” are well worth the effort; in fact, this reviewer would like to see a lot more of Griffin's poetry published, preferably in the widely-read publications it deserves.

The University Union was quiet, a few white students were studying at the tables in the Soda Shop. Upstairs in Wright Auditorium, a meeting of all freshman students had been going on since 7:30 p.m. A few minutes after 8 p.m. about 35 black students entered the Union. They were talkative and exhuberant about a set of demands which had been tendered to East Carolina President Leo Jenkins the previous week. Jenkins released a statement that afternoon commenting on the The black students anticipated Jenkins’ reactions and held a press conference that morning to earlier demands. reinforce their position of ‘‘no compromise.” Few people in the Union, the black students, Knew the results of either event. The black students poured through the side door of the Soda Shop filled up the unoccupied tabies, sitting on top of tables and the standup eating counters which lined the wall of the Soda Shop adjacent to the Bookstore when there were no more chairs. They began playing the Jukebox, clapping and_ singing, 9ccasionally stopping to banter with the white students in the Union. Everyone was in high Spirits, outside of and The black students were all members of the Society of United Liberal Students (SOULS) which authored and distributed the demands, At 8:30 p.m. the General College meeting ended.

The presence of the police increased the ievel of tension among the. black students perceptibly. Anticipation of punitive action put people on edge. Minutes dragged by. A large group of white students had congregated along the length of the soda fountain’s counter. Athletes were noticeably present in unusual numbers. The distinctive purple-and-gold jackets seemed to multiply every minute. To some observers, the ingredients for riot were already were trying increase the present. The ‘“‘solid program began to be punctuated by distinctly “white selections: “Revolution” by the Beatles and “Going Up the Country” by the Canned Heat. The sound of the Beatles’ alleged burlesque of the protest movement, facetiously entitled “Revolution,” antagonized some of the black students, who soul’’ musical ‘‘nulled the plug’ on the jukebox. What followed can best be described as a spontaneous session of speeches by various members of SOULS. Johnny Williams, president of SOULS, began the impromptu program. He was followed by various members of the group, who expressed their sentiments on the situation of the black man on the campus, in the nation, and throughout the world. Their voices were angry and defiant, emotional and tense with rage. One. student cynically commented on the common opinion expressed by rightwingers that ghetto riots are the result of an international Communist conspiracy: “Why give all the credit to the CommunistsWhy not give some to the brothers” fh Wylack coed rose and led the group in chanting: ‘I may be Black, but I’m somebody.” Then an angry young man wearing the orange-and-black emblem of the Black Panther Party began to denounce the audience, repeating ‘This isnota show!”’ and urging the blacks to take up arms and attack the white man. His words reflected a tremendous internal tension. A voice from the crowd challenged him: ‘‘Do you think you have the right to killa man? The room was completely silent. People tensed in anticipation. The question was _ left unanswered. But the seriousness of the question remains. Is it necessary to embrace the violence of the revolutionary alternative in order to achieve the rights of human bcings: dignity, respect, and opportunity for fulfillment? This question is, as yet, unanswered. Should it prove unanswerable to the majority of Americans, the majority of white middleclass Anglo-Saxon Protestants who run this country, then violence is certain to engulf the nation in a second civil war. The black students sang a song one of the ‘‘new’’ freedom songs. It differed from the old idealistic libertarian efforts of the early sixties in both its frank statement of aims and its lack of romanticism. As they left ‘‘to escort the sisters back to the dorms,” they promised to return, to hold other meetings, to express their grievances, to continue demanding their “‘rights.”’ The crowd at the counter gradually melted away, discussing what they had seen and heard. It was a first for ECU. Black students had faced a crowd of white students that outnumbered them two-to-one and stated their grievences without retaliation by the audience. They had said it. Some people listened; others only watched. The results of this confrontation and others like it will determine America. Governor asked. The 1965 General Assembly turned down ECU's request for a two-year medical school. A group of medical deans was authorized by the Legislature to determine ECU's readiness for such a program. The School of Allied Health Professions was approved by the 1967 General Assembly to offer training for medical technicians, medical record librarians, and therapists. Governor Scott included a request for funds to house the School of Allied Health in his biennium budget last month, one of two requests for buildings in the state. Scott again voiced full support for the allied health sciences program in his address Thursday evening. Dr. Ed Monroe, dean of the School of Allied Health, reacted to Scott's medical school proposal with pleasure and concern for ‘the deteriorating health situation of our rural areas. “lam very pleased with the medical education proposal presented by Governor Scott this evening,’ Dr. Monroe said in his statement. ‘‘His proposed plan of action to improve the health of rural North Carolinians will be received with joy and acclaim in all of North Carolina and particularly in the East, where the health manpower shortage is growing worse daily. ‘‘We welcome this opportunity to demonstrate our readiness to participate in the solution of this urgent problem,’’ continued Dean Monroe. “I am confident that our strengths and resources at East Carolina, coupled with the support and cooperation already expressed from across the state, will more than meet the challenge presented to us tonight ~ the challenge to develop a comprehensive, forward-looking means of meeting the health needs of our rural citizens.” Other proposals in Scott's address included financial aid for the state’s two private medical schools, Bowman Gray and Duke, with the “stipulation that these students upon graduation will practice for a length of time in North Carolina.” a diagnostic center for mentall retarded children, and continued expansion of the state’s only state-supported medical school at Chapel Hill. police exchange words ~ adits aoe The East Carolinian Tuesday, March 18, 1969 Scott statement soars | ecu forum | hope for med school Sports Editor Leo Jenkins’ often stated desire for the addition of a nedical schoo! to the university's facilities received a boost t week when Governor Bob Scott endorsed the program in a speech at the North Carolina Mental Health Association in Raleigh He endorsed the addition of training facilities for physicians in the light of growing health needs in North Without detracting from the medical school at Jenkins calls Carolina Chapel Hill, he called attention to what Dr one of the most pressing problems in our commonwealth from the point of view of what is best for all the people of North Carolina.” Dr. Edwin W. Moore of Allied Health Professions here said that in the rural areas of North Carolina, the doctor/patient ratio is 30 doctors per 100,000 patients. Metropolitan areas fare little better with 90 doctors per 100,000 patients. Emphasizing the need for practitioners, Moore added that even though the total number of graduating doctors has increased significantly in the past five years, the number of these physicians going into private practice in the communities has decreased by five per cent. When the consultants on Medical Education visited ECU four years ago, their opinion was that this school did not provide a rigorous enough technical background to support such training. However, four years have passed, and the stimulus and guidelines gained from their visit have provided the challenge and the means to consider this issue once again. For instance, since that time all three science staffs physics, biology and chemistry— have grown (e.g. the Biology Department now has 24 staff members, 21 of which hold Ph.D. degrees, as compared with 17 at the time of the consultants’ visit). The consultants also noted that there was no research in biochemistry and molecular biology and very little research in physiology. Typically since then, eight of nine new staff members are active in research in these areas and two grants have been awarded to old staff members. According to the head of curriculum committee in the Chemistry Department, Dr. Donald F. Clemens, their curriculum has been totally revamped since the time of the report. At the time of the consultants’ visit, the Biology Department had received three grants in previous years of $9,000. Since then, there have been 11 grants for almost $100,000. Pre-medical majors have grown from two to 50. The traditionally-approac! -d cell physiology required of all biology majors, as noted by the consultants, has been supplemented with a revised modern curriculum developed with a nationally-recognized consultant, Dr. Edward J. Kormondy and the Consultants on Independent University Status. All three departments have the sought-after master’s program, as approved by the Board of Higher Education. The need for this program is obvious and so is its potential. Not quite so obvious to the general public, perhaps, is the controversy which will ensue over the establishment and the location of such facilities. Again this university, as it was in 1966, will be tossed into a prominent position in state politics. The petty arguments that have so long divided what could have been an educationally forward state will once again be dragged out by our legislators and hashed over in Raleigh. There will be attacks on our president and our university. There will be those who say that the only reason Governor Scott endorsed the program was because of Jenkins’ active support during the past gubernatorial campaign. No matter what these arguments will be, are we so foolish here in North Carolina that we will allow petty regional politics to interfere with our educational and medical advancement? Above all, we must realize that the need is not limited to eastern North Carolina — it involves the whole of our society. It is now time for North Carolina to present a united front to combat society’s two most pressing problems ignorance and disease. Let the haves and the have-nots combine their will and strength to transcend pettyness and regionalism into a program of betterment for our society. I Paul F.

Staff Members The All-American ‘’Rebel” To The Editor We, as music students, would like to see standard and uniform criteria used by the music faculty for grading voice students. In the past there has not been an official criterion. A new system of grading was supposed to have gone into effect winter quarter; however, the music students never saw an Official notice of this change. Formerly voice students thought that they were being graded on their effort and progress from one quarter to the next. The main reason for dissatisfaction among voice students is that students were told that they had improved and still they received a lower grade than before. Obviously the voice faculty cannot remember how well a student sings from one quarter to the next, having heard the student only once the preceding quarter. The problem with a grading system based on improvement is that sooner or later students are going to have to be graded comparatively. Some music students have had little or no training before they entered the School of Music. They feel they have made remarkable progress considering their background. The entire grading system needs to be revised. We need a ‘Pressing needs’ send Jenkins basis for our opinions of more concrete qrades than the professors with hazy memories One member of the voice faculty has stated that only five A’s were given this past quarter by the voice jury. Yet after checking all voice grades on the faculty slips, we foune 19 A's instead of five One voice teacher gave no grades below B. Is it possible that this teacher had no average or below-average students? It seems unfair that one teacher should have all the best students. If all voice majors had this teacher. would we then all be above-average voice students? As voice students we would like to have explanations of the grading system and an official criterion of qrading posted for all to see. Dissatisfied Voice Students Dear Editor, In 1964, President Johnson ran for the presidency on the promise that ‘‘American boys would not fight and die in South East Asia’’. Hesitantly, many opponents of American military intervention throughout the world voted for Lyndon Johnson as the most desirable of two poor choices. Mr Johnson declared that the government of Saigon asked for American aid to protect the South Vietnamese from the military aggression of the North Vietnamese. This Mr. Johnson used as the excuse for our “Vegal" intervention in another man’s country. Did Mr. Johnson forget that the 1954 Geneva Conference had divided Viet Nam for the first time into two sectionsDid Mr. Johnson forget that the French, English, and Americans had promised to unite the country in free elections in 1956? Did Mr. Johnson forget Three’ had not aliowed those free elections to be held because Ho Chi Minh was the leading candidat As an American | object to military intervention in any other nation as immoral, illegal under the United Charter, and extreme ly unenlightened foreign policy | believe strongly in” the concepts of democracy.

Freedom must be won by those who thirst for it. The “end’’ does not always justify the ‘‘means’’. Fred Bohmuller Dear Editor: Wow!!! The change in editors is apparent. Congratulations, Chipper “The "ast Carolinian’” has substance ¢ last. Tom Deans to Appropriations Committee Dr. Leo Jenkins appeared Wednesday before the Joint Appropriations Committee of the North Carolina General Assembly requesting restoration of funds to the ECU budget. The budget had been cut by the Governor's Advisory Budget Commission. Jenkins’ primary objective is to raise the salaries of faculty members by 12 per cent, a figure which he originally recommended, rather than by the 5 per cent recommended by the Governor's Commission. Next to the salary increase, he says, restoration of the appropriation for acquisition of land is the most important of his requests. He also proposed restoration of the funds for an Art Building, an addition to the library, a building for the School of Allied Health Professions, and a classroom building for the language departments. “The East Carolinian” believes that the item given first priority in Jenkins’ request is well chosen. He is right in saying that other requirements to provide excellence in education, good faculty stands out as the one absolute essential.’ anove 4 He has often expressed the belief that ‘‘the presence on any college campus of a core of distinguished men and women is the ultimate that the legislature has to give to the young people of the State.” Jenkins is contending against a North Carolina tradition which assigns higher appropriations per student to the consolidated university of North Carolina than to other North Carolina institutions of higher learning. It seems that this difference is due less to a difference between the needs of the institutions than to the inherent power of an old, entrenched, and, due to the prominence of many of its alumni, influential institution. East Carolina does not resent the influence of the consolidated university, or even its ability, at the present time, to get preferential consideration in the appropriation of monies. East Carolina has an outstanding record in utilization of funds and facilities, and as Dr. Jenkins says,’‘we have a record of requesting public funds only when needs are pressing.’’ needs such as those indicated by the fact that there has been almost a doubling in the number of students paying preliminary fees for next year as compared to the number at the same time last year. Only if some critic should fault this University for seeking redress through the _ legislative process would we feel a great wrong had been done Forum policy All students, faculty members, and administrators are urged to express their opinions in writing in the ECU Forum. “The East Carolinian” editorial page is an open forum in which such articles may be published.
