These are both essential matters in updating our University to better serve and benefit the students It has been mentioned in the past that there be a reading day prior to all final examinations This | intend to make a reality ! believe that you, the students, would be better students and also have better grades with one day donated exclusively for study. | also plan to have the system of closed stu ly for freshman women investigated as to the possible abolishment of | feel also that there are some things that should be fone for the monetary benefit of all students. | plan to see the reduction of _ the price of tickets for events and to student date entertainment investigate the possibilities of doing the same thing — for ithletic events. | also plan to see an increased subsidy for the student loan fund so that more students will be able to borrow more money It will also be the purpose of the SGA to initiate a tutorial program where we will oversee the bringing together of students and tutor: also. to include 4 remedial studies program.

For this reason | feel necessary that | emphasize the importance of It is very the office of the President of the Student Government, and once again give the students the outstanding qualification of John Schofield for this office. John is a_history-political science double major and urban planning minor. | feel John Schofield is highly interested in helping East Carolina University advance in any way possible, John has shown this in his continued efforts to represent East Carolina University. This past year he has served outstandingly as Secretary of External Affairs. During John's tenure, East Carolina attended more conferences than any year ever before. John’s excellent planning and co-ordination of the delegations to these conferences has greatly increased our _ school’s reputation. | cannot emphasize enough the competent job John has done as Secretary of External Affairs this past yeat For four John years Schofield has been a delegate to the State Student Legislature At these exhibited the type of leadership required of the President of the c conferences he has »tudent Government Association. This year John Schofield went as Chairman of East Carolina’s delegation to SSL, and he led our delegation to bring back the two most outstanding awards, Best Delegation and Best Bill Awards for 1969. These honors show the leadership ability of John Schofield, and John is willing to put all his abilities and energies to work for the students of East Carolina University as thet S.G.A. women’s marshals will be chosen for the executive officers, judiciary, and next year in Tuesday’s election. All poles will be open from 8:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. except those in the Pamlico Room lobby and the lobby of North Cafeteria which will be open until 6:30 p.m Candidates for offices of the SGA will be as follows Presidqent John Schofield,U.P.

SGA President John Schofield is not running for the President office of without qualifications, neither is he running without plans and goals. John wants to investigate the merit of the present closed study system used for freshmen girls. John anticipates working with the Women’s Residence Council, Dr. George Weigand, and other officials in finding out for the girls of East Carolina whether or not closed study ts to their advantage. John also wants to modernize the pre-registration system, and | am sure such efforts would be appreciated by every student and advisor at East Carolina. John wants a chance to try to remedy everyone's big ‘gripe’ about pre-registration. Along the same line, John hopes to initiate an open day for drop-add in which classes will not be held. During the open day, students wishing to drop or add courses would be aided in knowing what courses were open and closed by closed circuit television. John also has the student’s benefit in mind when he anticipates having our class schedules mailed to us rather than having to pick them up on registration day. Yes, these are the qualifications which make John Schofield the man for President of our Student Government Association in 1969-1970. As you can see, John does have Student Government, and above all, he plans for our is willing to work very diligently to aid in the continued advancement of our growing school. If you want a Student Government President who will be willing to talk to you about your problems and ideas and who has dynamic plans for our next college year, | feel you must cast you vote on Tuesday for John Schofield.

This will be investigated thoroughly — to insure a program that will be of the utmost benefit to all.

A: Yes. | would like to see the education department offer a few senior-graduate courses in teaching illiterate adults how to read and write. Much has been generated over the poor blacks and whites in this region who cannot read or write, or even count money. They are left to the mercy of the merchants, who have sometimes exploited them. Under the adult literacy program, this problem could be greatly diminished concern Q: Could you summarize the main course of action that the SGA would take leadership? A: Yes. | would try to get the SGA activities, under your involved in both on It should look outward as well as inward, to make for a bigger and better ECU more and off campus Steve majoring in Owens is a junior business administration.

The East Carolinian A: Black students should have the right to express their opinions. | don't agree with the way they are going about these demands, however. 1 think that should be given to students, and studies financial aid the black maybe a_ black should be looked into. | don’t see anything wrong with hiring black professors, as long as they are qualified. Keep ‘’Dixie”’ Also, ‘‘Dixie’’ should not be banned. To me, ‘’Dixie” is an emotional about the South, and has nothing to do with slavery. The blacks should be able to keep their songs and culture if they want to. program song Q: How do you feel about black Maintenance Department? A: Well, you have to have supervisors, and | don’t care if they are black, as long as they are qualified. Higher wages are up to the administration, not the SGA. Q: Do you have any plan to change drop-add and pre-registration? A: Yes. Professors should be required to stay in their offices more hours than they do now. One of the main problems now is chasing professors all over campus for class cards, forms, etc Also, | think we should have a uniform procedure — for dropping courses in all the departments. This would not permit various departments to set up different precedures from the rest of the school, such as the business department supervisors in has done. Change Curfew Q: What do you think about curfew the present women’s hours? A: There should be some restrictions on the freshmen and sophomores. But the juniors and seniors should be able to set their own hours, with parental permission. Q: What is your opinion of campus publications? A: | think they are all pretty good. | would like to see a column established in ‘The East Carolinian’’ to let the students know what is going on in the SGA. At the present time | have no program for the “Rebel” and “Key.” If they can show that they need an increase in the budget, and the money is available, it will be increased. -andidate letter To the students: Election time has once again come ECU, giving students the opportunity to express their desires as to the type of government they want for their campus. This is a very function in a career. The SGA approximately one quarter of a million dollars of the students’ money for various projects. This alone is a very reason why each student upon necessary student's spends good should show interest In his own welfare and vote. The executive officers can only be a product of those who elect them. Too often the SGA has been thought of as a “do-nothing’”’ yrqanization. Promises are made at election time, and for some reason they are lost during the year. Both parties must take the responsibility for this. What is needed to action Is a strong two-party system. The Student Party is pledged to do insure its part to make a_= strong two-party system. During the past year the University Party has completely dominated the Student Legislature and controlled four out of five executive offices. Our position in the Student Legislature has been greatly handicapped by our inability to oppose legislation which we felt was being pushed through. The leaders of the University Party have not been forced to carry through with their promises. lf 1 am elected | maintain good communications between the SGA and_ the student body. | would like to establish a permanent column in “The East Carolinian” to inform the students of the activities in the executive branch. | also hope to expand the functions of the External Affairs office to include activities which will be beneficial to more students. During the past year, | served on the Spirit Committee as a cheerleader and have realized the importance of spirit to our teams. | hope to work in cooperation with the athletic department and SGA _ in establishing a Pep Band for all basketball games. The Student Party platform this year offers many needed changes. Some of the most outstanding are: (1) to extend library hours and to provide better service during these hours, (2) to. establish a uniform procedure for dropping a course, and (3) during drop-add and pre-registration all instructors should be required to be in their offices from 8 am. to 5 p.m. except during classes and lunch hours. Also included in the platform is (4) the establishment of student-faculty committees in every department. We must have these corrections with such a_ fast-growing student body. All these goals cannot be met by the President alone. The Student Party is offering the best possible slate of candidates. We are all dedicated to carrying out the Student Party platform. Bob Whitley, Vice-President; Peggy Sledd, Secretary; Steve Sharpe, Treasurer; and Sip Beamon, Historian, are all anxious to develop a new enthusiasm for student government on_ this campus. Knowing each of them as | do, | feel we can work together for an SGA that each student can be proud of. The objectives which | have proposed will be achieved during the coming year; however, certain problems exist which must be solved in the near future. The recent demands of the Negro students have caused much discussion, | feel that some of these demands, such as a proposed black studies program and more financial aid for Negro students, are reasonable and can be met. | disagree with the will However, Page “Dixie’’ and proposals to ban remove Confederate flags from buildings. | also feel that the way to find progress is not in demanding, but rather in compromising. Another problem is tne proposed campus transit system. The system is. an excellent idea and is needed at East Carolina. However, the system proposed by the University Party lacks insight into the needs of the students More than three buses will be needed during the peak rush hours to serve the students. Day students should not be force to finance a transportation system which will not benefit them. These and many other problems in the system mi be taken care of before the SGA spends $48N0 for the trial period of fifteen days of service. These are just some of the problems which will be faced next year. | am confident that with new leadership by the Student Party, we can arrive at successful conclusions. | ask for your support, not only for myself, but for all the Student Party. Together we can build a better SGA. | hope you will consider each of the Student Party candidates, and use your vote on Tuesday, March 25. Thank you, Steve Owens Supporting Steven Owens To the students, It has been my pleasure to know Steve Owens, Student Party candidate for President of the SGA, for three years. We first met when | was a hall proctor in Jones Dormitory, and Steve was a freshman. Steve quickly showed his ability by obtaining a 2.8 average in his first year while many of his friends on the hall flunked out. Steve always seemed to be able to study when it was time to study and enjoy the many card games when he had time. He soon got the reputation on the hall as a leader and a “‘good guy”’. Since that time, three years ago, Steve has continued to show his leadership ability and enthusiasm for East Carolina. He has been the ECU Pirate this past year as well as a regular member of the cheering squad. He is a member of Phi Beta Lambda business fraternity and Kappa Alpha Order. In Kappa Alpha, Steve has been an IFC Representative, Athletic Chairman, member of the Prudential Committee, and is presently serving as Treasurer. He has worked with Summer Orientation and is currently on the Executive Committee of the Student Party. After all this, he has still maintained a good average. However, all this does not tell you about Steve Owens as an individual. Steve has the kind of personality and drive that a good SGA President must have. Steve has had to work each summer in a paper mill just to be able to attend school He is not one to slide out of work but accepts it and does an outstanding job. | feel this speaks for the type of character Steve Owens has and is able te convey to others. Thank you, Steve Morrisette ‘ Thursday, March 20, 1969 STU treasurer Fellow Voter, A concerned voter will vote for the most qualified candidate. As a concerned voter, | will be voting for the that | feel is most qualified for the office of treasurer, Gary Gasperini, on Tuesday, March 25. Gary Gasperini has active in student government activities which are related to the office of treasurer since his freshman year here. As a freshman, he first began S.G.A. work as the Assistant Public Defender of the Men’s Judiciary and as Chairman of the Student Polls Committee. He later served as Chairman of the Rules Committee of the legislature, where during summer school! he aided im making many financial appropriations to campus organizations. + His sophomore year also gave him a vast amount of training in the duties of the office of treasurer: serving as President of the Sophomore class and as a member of the Executive Council, both of which have many dealings with financial problems. Some of his experience in monetary affairs has been obtained by serving as the Executive Committee Chairman of the transit system which will begin its trial period in the next few weeks. A complete knowledge of the S.G.A. is the first requirement for a person to be an effective treauurer. Not only does Gary Gasperini meet this first requirement by his experience on the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the S.G.A., but he also satisfies the second requirement by being a business major. As the outgoing Treasurer of the Student Government Association, |! endorse Gary Gasperini as the most qualified candidate for the office of treasurer. person been Sincerely, Buford Davis Fellow Students: Your money should be handled with care. The funds of the Student Government Association are your money since the S.G.A. is financed by you and a servant to you. The Treasurer of the S.G.A. has the responsibility to see that your money, which is entrusted to him is maneged properly. 'n order to do this, there must be a responsible and knowledgeable Treasurer, so that the various activities and appropriations of campus Organizations are most beneficial to you. The responsible and knowledgeable person to manage your money should have a knowledge of the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches of your S.G.A. — of which | have served in all branches. He should also have a knowledge of accounting procedures and _ economic thought similar to what | have learned by being an Economics major. The most important person here at East Carolina University is you. You, being important, should be made aware of where your: money is being spent. After all, it is your S.G.A. If elected, my plans are to make a monthly statement to you every month which would be Printed in “the East Carolinian’” immediately after such a statement was prepared. If you wished to know of certain expenditures made by the S.G.A. before the statement was printed in the newspaper, | would always be happy to answer any of your questions or hear any of your opinions by keeping the office door open to you. On Tuesday, March 25th, please take a close look at the office of treasurer before you vote. The position of treasurer is extremely important in that he advises the executive legislature and _ other organizations on the financial workability of the S.G.A. programs. Thank you, Gary Gasperini GARY GASPERINI The East Carolinian STEVEN SHARPE Dear Fellow Students, On March 25, we will go to the polls and select our SGA executive officers, including the Treasurer. | would like to submit for your consideration Steve Sharpe as our next SGA Treasurer. Steve has, in my opinion, the four qualities that | deem necessary for any successful executive officer — leadership, responsibility, experience, and enthusiasm. | have worked with Steve in the SGA since he was a freshman and can attest to his interest, concern, and ability to serve the student body. For example, during his freshman year Steve was elected to the Legislature where he served on the Budget and Rules Committees. He also served on the Internal Affairs Committee and as the Campus Co-ordinator of CHOICE ‘68. In the spring he was chosen by the members of the Student Party to be its Vice-Chairman. This year, Steve was again elected to the Legislature where he now assumes the co-chairmanship of the powerful Rules Committee. He is also the chairman of the “Red Tape’’ Committee which is trying to reform such matters as drop-add, plus serving his fellow students by working in the Popular Entertainment Committee, Public Relations Committee, and the Family Life Committee. Steve is presently Chairman of the Student Party. Steve’s other activities include the Sigma Chi Delta fraternity where the brothers have elected him during his two years in the fraternity as Corresponding Secretary, Parliamentarian, and Vice-President. Extracurricular activities can demonstrate leadership and enthusiasm, but in selecting a Treasurer we need more. The Treasurer will be responsible for dispersing nearly a quarter of a million dollars to nearly thirty different student sponsored Organizations, Steve is a Business Administration major and has worked closely with many of the organizations that receive SGA money. It is imperative that we have a Treasurer who has had working experience with these organizations in determining whether their budgetory requests are valid. Because of this factor and his demonstrated capabilities and hard work in the Legislature, | am voting for Steve Sharpe for Treasurer. | hope that you will join me. Thank you. Bill Richardson Dear Students: For the past two years it has been my priviledge to serve you in the Student Government Association Legislature. | have been deeply aware of the responsibility that has been entrusted to me and it has been my purpose to devote all my time, effort, and energy to the representation of the students of East Carolina University. In previous campaigns, | pledged that | would represent the students in a fair manner. | firmly believe that | have done this. It is also my firm belief that if representative government is to be successful, it must have the fullest possible participation by all the students. Therefore, | am asking the students of East Carolina University to support and elect me treasurer of the SGA. Qualifications are important in any election and | feel it is necessary for me to introduce to the students of ECU some of my qualifications. | am a business administration major. During my freshman year | served on the Internal Affairs Committee, i. the Legislature, on the Rules Committee of the Legislature, and on _ the Budget-Checking Committee, all SGA related activities. Also | served as Campus Co-ordinator of the National Choice ‘68 Elections and as vice-chairman of the Student Party. This year | have served you on the Popular Entertainment Committee, in the Legislature, as Chairman of the “‘Red Tape” Committee, and as a member of the Public Relation and Family Life Committees. | am presently serving as Chairman of the Student Party. | have served Sigma Chi Delta Fraternity as Parliamentarian and Vice-President. ! have tried to represent aij the students fairly and in q manner | would want to be represented. It has also been 3 source of great satisfaction to me that | have been able assist the students in the SGA. | want to continue my work in the SGA for the students of ECU and | am grateful for the encouragement | am receiving in this campaign. It is my hope that you elect me treasurer of the SGA on Tuesday, March 25, Sincerely, Steven L. Sharpe, Candidate for Treasurer secretary Fellow Students, ! seldom have the opportunity to publicly express my opinion about a candidate, and | rarely have the chance to write for someone who is as qualified for the position they are seeking as Carolyn Breelove who is seeking the office of Secretary of our SGA. In my three years of association with Carolyn, she has always been conscientious and dependable. She has an interest in our university and its betterment that is shown in her hard work on such committees as the Homecoming Committee and the Red Tape Committee, of which she is secretary. Carolyn is willing to work for what she believes in. This is evident when you consider that she is a marshal and Public Relations Secretary. In the coming election you, the voter, have a choice; why not choose the best? If you want a conscientious secretary, vote for Carolyn Breedlove. If you want a secretary with your interests in mind, vote for Carolyn Breedlove. Your vote for Carolyn will be a vote in your favor. Voting for Carolyn, Dan Bland Dear Students, It’s Spring and again as in all ECU Spring Quarters the trees have come alive, not with leaves, but with colorful banners and posters. Even with all their color and smiles these posters signify something quite serious to the future of East Carolina. They indicate that next Tuesday we must decide which five people will assume the leadership responsibilities necessary for a successful and effective Student Government. As the University Party's candidate for SGA Secretary, | feel very strongly that our decisions must be given careful consideration. We should set up a system of values by which we choose upon personal merit.

Thank you, Peggy Siedd Fellow Students, You as the voting students of this school are fortunate to have two qualified candidates running for the office of SGA secretary. In the election next week, you have a choice to make. The Student Party candidate, Peggy Sledd, has the skill and qualities necessary for the office of secretary. Peggy has participated on several student government committees and therefore has a knowledge of the way your SGA works. In addition to her experience, Peggy has two years left in school to serve the student government. She is familiar with the responsibilities of this office and is eager to accept these responsibilities. Because of her experience, skill, and desire to serve, we urge you to vote for Peggy for your Student Government Secretary. Sincerely, Jean Harvey The East Carolinian Dear Students, Being a_ transfer student Stratford College is a handicap for me because | have not met many of you much less worked in East Carolina’s Student Government. However, | would not have accepted the nomination to run as the Student Party’s candidate for historian had | not felt qualified. While attending Stratford | served as Secretary of Judicial Board and was a member of the Executive Board. Tracing back further to high school, | was a member of student council, served as Assembly Chairman of Ways and Means; and lastly, | was elected President of the Student Cooperative Association. Here at East Carolina University, | am a hall proctor, member of House Council and Student Party Publicity Chairman. But, just because | have been active in student government in the past doesn’t mean that | would be a good historian, right? Right! Because a good historian should be creative and should enjoy her work, for she has to make a scrapbook composed of all student government activities. A good historian should also be efficient, for she is to ‘‘compile an annual report of student activities and submit this report to East Carolina University President and Dean of Student Affairs.” Experience counts, but my being _ initiative, dependable, and imaginative are of extreme importance, too. { would like very much to serve East Carolina University as historian, but | can’t fulfill this desire without your support. from Sincerely, “Sip” Beamon Candidate for Historian sip BEAMON To the Editor: Sip Beamon is my favorite candidate for SGA _ Historian and | hope that she will be yours. Sip is one of the most enthUsiastic and hardest-working girls | have had the pleasure to know. As a member of Executive Council, Sip will be an asset to a stronger student government and an outstanding representative of East Carolina. Sip's ability to assume responsibility dates back to high school in Suffolk, Va., where she was President of the Student Body. Sip is a junior transfer student from Stratford College. At Stratford she was secretary of the Judicial Board, which is similar to our Honor Council, and she was voted one of seven outstanding sophomores. A_ physical education major, Sip was captain of the tennis and basketball teams. Though Sip has been at East Carolina a short while, she has jumped into campus activities. She is Publicity Chairman for the Student Party, a member of Phi Epsilon Mu, a member of House Council in Fletcher, and a pledge of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Please remember Sip Beamon at the polls March 25th.

For my platform, | propose the following: To list in the 1969-70 Key the Qualifications and Duties of the Historian. These are: Qualifications: The Historian shall have been in attendance as a student at East Carolina University for at least three (3) consecutive quarters proceeding his election. — The Historian shall have and maintain a ‘’C’’ average. Duties: — To keep an up-to-date record of all recognized organizations sponsored by the SGA and of their constitutions. — To maintain the official student government scrapbook, which shall be available and up-to-date at all times. — To compile an annual report of student activities for the President of East Carolina University and the Dean of Student Affairs. — To perform all other duties of such an office. 1 hope to display the scrapbook from the preceeding MARION Dear Students of East Carolina University: 1, Marion Barick, am running as an Independent candidate for SGA Historian. | feel that having represented you as Secretary of Freshman Class, legislator, chairman of the Steering Committee for the Faculty-SGA-Administration Forum, chairman of the Legislative Committee, member of Budget Committee, and member of the Election Committee, | am able to effectively serve the students of East Carolina as Historian. 1 do not represent University or Student Party.

Marion Barick is not a candidate from either political party of campus and yet she has undertaken to be elected to an executive position. This to me is commendable. It indicates an individuality and determination seldom found in the average (continued on page 6, column 5) 4 é ‘ ‘ Page 6 Thursday, March 20, 1969 The East Caroliniar 7 = . ‘‘la Dolce Vita’’ not as advertised A Sense “1! went to Philadelphia once, it was closed.”’ He hated dogs, children, nagging wives. He was a constant drinker, an eternal foe, of the establishment. W.C. Fields was a revolutionary of another era. There are thousands of stories about Fields; most are true. It is true that he used to drink two double martinis every day before breakfast, and that he slept on a pool table instead of in a bed. However, despite his many social faults and odd habits, W.C. Fields has emerged as perhaps the greatest all-time comic. It is a trait of style that style is a personal thing, the finishing “touch’’ on a person. Style is something that is instantly recognized as belonging to only one particular person. One's style is never the style of another. So it was with Fields. The mannerisms are familiar enough: the flowery speech, the bulbous red nose, the rasping monotone that invoked such lines as: “Women are like elephants to me, | like to look at them, but | wouldn’t want to own one.” Fields was a rebel. Even ina Hollywood filled with zany personalities, Fields stood out as one of the most colorful personalities. Field’s relationships with people were constantly enriched by his maniacal sense of humor. Fields had a dwarf named Blanche who was his comic “stooge’’. When the dwarf came to work for Fields, he did not derivative of x? ati am by Don Pierce And now it’s 1. a.m. And nature can play some pretty mean tricks on a quy Relax, take a couple of NoDoz® Ot Style have any teeth. Fields bought Blanche a set of false teeth. Soon there was trouble. Whenever the dwarf would refuse to do as Fields had ordered, W.C. would wrestle Blanche to the ground, pull out the false teeth, and hold them as ransom until Blanche did as ordered. Fields off-screen was exactly like Fields on-screen. His running feud with child star Baby Leroy is movie legend. Fields once put gin into Baby Leroy’s milk bottle after the kid had been stealing scenes from him. Baby Leroy passed out for the day, and Fields continued to filmwith all attention on himself. Fields’ drinking habits are well known. When he was in vaudeville, earning five thousand dollars a week as a star juggler, he carried with him three large wooden trunks, t'vo of costumes, one of liquor. One night Fields and writer Gene Fowler were prowling the back country of the deep south, when their car became wedged on a railroad crossing. They tried to push it out, but the stubborn car refused to move. A train was coming, and Fowler began to jettison props and costumes. Fields grabbed his liquor trunk, paid no attention to his juggling props, and heand Fowler sat down for a drink. As the trainran through the crossing, Fields and Fowler were just finishing their first double martini. (Next week, Fields: Part 2.) If you let nature take its course you may fail yours.

Fellini’s film quickly became controversial when it was released in 1961. Many critics regard it as a masterpiece. Masterpieces have been ruined before by foolish cutting, but to advertise a serious work of art as unabridged when it has been considerably altered is an inexcusable deception of the public and a travesty against the film’s creator. | saw the film seven years ago and its vividvisual impressions remain. Originally, the movie opened with a shot of a large statue of Christ being transported beneatha helicopter high over Rome. It was a visual effect not soon forgotten, but is entirely absent from this version. Originally, a very important part of the movie concerned a sensitive intellectual who finally conimits suicide. He completely disappears from this butchered version. Also missing from the film: the attempted suicide of Marcello’s mistress, the sham religious miracle, and three sequences concerning Steiner, Marcello’s intellectual friend. These episodes were not excised accidentally. Nor was there an attempt tocensor ‘'salacious’’ sections. (The sectionsin question are far from salacious.) Thecu_s represent rather abrutz |, callous attempt to shorten the filmandsellitasasex spectacular (which it is not) at the expense of some of its most sensitive material. Marcello Rubiniisa third-rate reporter in Rome, caughtupinthemad, competitive whirl of yellow journalism. The society which supplies him with his scandal stories is made up of bored sophisticates and pseudo-artists, despairing intellectuals, deviates of all kinds, a listless aristocracy which has plumbed the depths of degeneracy, andall the jackal-hyena types who prey around the famous. The film is a welter of episodes, varying from uninhibited debauchery to screaming hysteria to poignant and pathetic wistfulness. Marcell, smotheredin meaninglessness and revolted by the inhuman tendency of his life, can nonetheless find no recourse but to immerse himself still further in depravity. One leaves the film feeling that he has participatd in a devauchery which jades and alienates from innocence, Marcello ‘‘can’t understand” a young girl who smilingly beckons him away from his coterie of acquaintances. Her innocent, questioning smile ends the film even as the benign face of Christ opened it. And all between is madness. (Note: The local theater disclaims responsibility for the cutting, which shortened the film from a scheduled 180 minutes to 140.) Chapel Hill’s ‘Three in the Attic’ bad story Lata good skin flick by Steve Wilson It looks as if American International pictures has done it again. Not long ago they came up with something called “Wild in the Streets’’ which, by some small miracle, sold at the box offices because some people read non-existent things into it. Now they have produced something called “Three in the Attic,’’ which was filmed in Chapel Hill (Three strikes against it already). The film is handled as tastefully as possible, but no matter how you look at it, it's nothing but a cheap sex-romp that should attract all the “skin” specialists in Greenville and the surrounding areas. The story is structured around Thaxton Quiggly who is caught by three beautiful girls, a Jewish flower-child, a Negro artist, and a regular American Sex war goes on The war for sex equality is still raging. The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission has announced its verdict that a man makes just as good an airline stewardess as a woman. Any airline which refuses to hire men as flight cabin attendants violates the law. blonde. The girls lock Thaxton in the attic of a sorority house and try to ‘‘love’’ him to death.

The play was one of the most acclairned plays of the year in New York in 1968, when its author, Ron Cowen, was 22 years old. “Summertree’” looks wryly upon the wer in Vietnam, upon the sense of frustration in many young people today over an inability to accomplish — their goals in a conventional society, and upon the anguish of parents and children who, though loving each other, find themselves in conflict with each other — all this through a dramatized series of a young man’s reveries as they swing back and forth through past memories, present fears and a future doom in a war the young man abhors. Whimsical and Tragic in a play that is whimsical, funny and tragically sad, these memories slip across the young man‘s mind and are bodied forth on the stage — as in one of the day-dreams he once indulged on lazy summer afternoons beneath a beloved big tree in his family’s back yard. Here, in his mind as he sits in the shade of the tree, come his doting mother, his father who loves him but wants him to become another kind of person, his affectionate sweetheart who understands him, and a personification of himself as a child all helping him replay the story of his life. A dimension of reality that seems realer-than- real, as if seen at the moment of dying, envelopes these characters, who have no names and could be all of us. Critical Success ‘‘Summertree”’ was one of the most warmly praised plays to reach New York in_ several seasons. Critics welcomed it as being Would you like a hobby shop in town?

The budget for fiscal 1970 would provide about $31.5 million less money for 44,000 fewer loans than in the current year. Reduction of budget obligations for the National Defense loans from $193.4 million this year to $161.9 million in 1970 is anticipated.

Winner-King, apierre, The East Carolinian by John Lowe The Eastern Carolina Classic, which was held this past December for the first time, may not be continued. It seems that the financial loss incurred by poor attendance has just about discouraged the University from trying again. That would indeed be a shame since it took three years for the Dixie Classic to make money. East Carolina officials should give the Classic, which brought exceptionally fine basketball to this area, another year or two before throwing out a potentially great classic. While the official decision has not yet been announced, it would seem that the Classic should be continued next year, if not only to honor the signed contracts for the field already selected for next year. Classic coordinators should be able to strengthen the weaknesses evident in the premier event to eliminate a loss, or to cut any loss down to a very small amount. There are good ways to promote the Eastern Carolina Classic and make it pay off, it only remains to be seen if the East Carolina athletic officials who make the decision will look at it objectively. If so, they will see the boundless ways to help make the Classic successful. Not only will the Classic give the people of eastern North Carolina some outstanding basketball, it will give the East Carolina basketball program the big boost it needs to continue the development shown in the past few years even though it is on what could be called a Carolinas Conference budget. The Classic can enhance the overall athletic picture here at East Carolina, but to do so, it must first be given a second chance!

As a student | understand the predicament of many of the voters in the election. That is, they are not familiar with many of the candidates and _ find themselves just voting for a name or a party. | feel that this year the Student Party has provided a strong and much-needed platform which carries with it the spirit of change which is so needed in our student government. It would be my goal, as vice-president, to help bridge the gap between the SGA and the average East Carolina student, and to make everyone, not just a chosen few, a functioning part of the SGA. The present drift of the SGA away from the students of ECU should not continue, for this has caused much of the disinterest in student government present on our campus. | am not so much asking for support now as | am asking for open-mindendness and consideration in the upcoming election. As stated above, | will attempt to meet as many students as | can, and through this to find what the student body, not just the few elected leaders, wants in its student vernment. ge Sincerely, Bob Whitley Candidate for Vice-President BREAKFAST DINNER...

Hours: Daily 11 AM-7 PM Sat. 11 AM-6 PM to end current apathy Campus elections — for Student Government Association officers are to be held next Tuesday March 25. The offices to be filled are president vice president, treasurer, and historian The importance of these SGA offices cannot be over-emphasized. During the past few years we have seen the SGA grow into a strong institution of self-government, concerned with the welfare of each student on this campus Many students are apt to laugh at campus elections, or belittle them in some way. They believe that the f little consequence, and that the fficers will d ynly as the administration directs them t But this yt the case at ECU. The SGA officials here it ot lackeys ” puppets of the Idministratior This has been demonstrated by the long list of responsibilities given to the SGA to deal h, and the onfidence placed in them by the 1dministration. Also, the competence and capability fF the to handle campus problems should be ioted The present-day SGA at ECU is one of the strongest in the nation. This year, in excess of $320,000 of your money was spent by them. Most of this money comes from the student activity fee that i tudents pay ch quarter, some of it comes from ticket fees fro concerts, and part of comes from newspaper ads uring the past few years we have seen the SGA stem, put on numerous nstitute a complete judicial oncerts and popular entertainment programs, bring rs and movies to the campus, deal top-notch speak with student rights, finance campus publications (e.g ( e Guide The East Carolinian,” the ‘Rebel.’ the “Key,” and the ‘Buccaneer’’), support athletic nts, improve the beauty of the campus, finance a student loan program, and deal with many other vide-ranging problems Most important, however, the Student sovernment Association represents you, the students both on and off campus Therefore, the SGA needs your support in. the lection next Tuesday. This will be demonstrated by your vote. The candidates have worked many long hours making up posters, placecards, speeches, and narshalling support for the election. They are seri They will be representing ECU throughout the following school year Before voting next Tuesday, ask the candidates valid, meaningful questions. Make them give you a satisfactory answer. Find out how they stand on the issues. Then help combat ECU’s number one andidates of your problem: apathy. Vote for the choice. 4 Of the many things we have done to democracy in the past, the worst has been the indignity of taking it for granted.

Noreal inderstanding of what these demands areis otherwise possible, and thus no sudqment out the demands ought to be madewithout having considered these elaborations Secondly, even with the elaborationsinhand itis difficult to understand the intentions behind the demands Anunderstanding of the motivations which prompted these demands and the spirit in which they are submitted is possible only throughan acquaintance with those persons who authored them. | have worked on various projects with the members of SOULS during the past year and have found the black students at ECGUtO bereasonapile. fairminded people. Of course, as with any group of a hundred orso students, someare immature and sometimes speak impetuously an action of which mosteveryone is ecu forum sometimes guilty. But this does not prevent me from accurately describingthe members of SOULS as very personable individuals. They arenot fanatics, CXTEeMiIsts oF separatists, but because of ther skincolor they aremore sensitive than most about some areas in which a free democratic society has not been fully realized. | would suggest that a person's evaluation of these demands be preceded by an earnest attempt to become wquainted with some of our SOUL brothers and sisters Thirdly, when the demands we understood in the context of thetrelaborationand motivationthey arenot inreasonable. Therets no demand of which will result in theestablishmentofa privileged class’’ for black students. Indeed, most of the demands are such that their fulfillment wil be beneficial to all ECU students, present and future Fourth. Hopefully the administration will be able to produce actions to support the encouraging reports cited in the local newspaper. Nothing is more important at the present time than the establishment of good faith betweenthe administrationand SOULS Presumably, nothing but action, or good evidence of plans for action, will suffice Sincerely, Ray Lanfear Assistant Professor Philosophy Department Hopes for library hours recede into budget talk by James Hord Later operating hours for the Joyner Library? “Probably not in the neat future,” according to Nendell Smiley, chief of library operations This answer was in response to an interview with Smiley concerning the possibility of obtaining later operating hours for the Joyner Library, thereby giving students more time in which to use the facilities there. Several students have requested that the library be Open Until 11 pm, on weekdays, Open earlier on Sundays, and remain open on Saturday nights. “But this is impossible at the present time because of the lack of funds. More money would be needed in order to hire the student and professional help which would be needed to run the library,”’ said Smiley. According to Smiley, the library’s budget is controlled by the North Carolina State Legislature, and the library has Fittlhe appropriations. control over “Whatever they recommend, we get,” he said. He pointed out this is the reason the students have to stand in line: ‘It's because we're understaffed. We need about six additional professional people and 10 more student employees. But because of the present budget Situation we are unable to hire these additional employees,” One plan that the library is currently considering is closing on Friday nights and increasing operating hours on Sundays Under this plan, the library would open Sundays at 1 p.m. and close at 11 p.m. Right now the library staff is investigating how much the facilities are actually used on Friday nights. “A few Friday nights,” commented Smiley, “we have more employees in the library than we have students. Until more students indicate they want to use the library on Friday nights, we will certainly not consider opening on Saturday nights.’ 3ut he thinks the idea of Staying Open to 11 o'clock on weeknights ia good idea “Since the budget is under the control of the Governor and state legislature the nec ssary increases will have to come from them. The library gets a ‘line appropriation’ — directly from Raleigh for their operating expenses. Frequently we get extra money for books, but hardly ever for extra help,” he said. The prospects for the future do not seem to favor any large increase in the library’s budget. Smiley noted that Governor Dank. Moore, before leaving office, did not recommend any increase in the budget. bhursday, Marat To SOULS | found your list of demanc. most interesting such as the wu proportioning of instructo; f let you obtain black instruct the same atio as ite jol. 44, No. instructors to white. sty you will have 5.22 instru Keep in mind that you will! to. divide’ these among 25 departments since you Diack instructors in departments.
