The buses arrived at 7:30 a.m., but did not begin to pick up students immediately because of the need to develop an accurate schedule. The buses will continue to run on school days until April 17. After the trial period is Over, a campus-wide referendum will soon follow in order that the students might vote to continue the system next fall or not to continue it. Two Routes The buses will operate daily from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m There are two routes, a red route from campus to Minges including the boys’ dorms, and a green route from the campus to the girls’ dorms Trips to Pitt Plaza and Buccaneer Courts have been added, for the students’ convenience, during the times that the campus traffic is lowest The student must follow the appropriate colored bus stops in order to reach their destination The bus color and destination will be displayed on the windshield of the buses.

Fellow Students I’m wrung this letter for Chris Smith because | know that she has both the ability and the experience needed to make the office of historian an active, vital office. Chris has been involved in Student Government ever since she arrived at East Carolina two years ago. She had the honor of being elected marshal last spring. Chris has been active in the Student Leqislature this year, serving as Chairman of a special committee to study the feasibility of a marque over the University Union. Above. all this, however, Chris’ most Important qualification is her sincere interest’ in making “student’’ government what it should be — an active force ina growing university. This can only be accomplished with people like Chris who are willing to work just a little bit harder to put the “extra” in Student Government. If you want a more active and progressive SGA, elect Chris Smith as your historian. Thank you, Bob Robinson Fellow Students: “Student Government Association.’’ What does that mean to you? It means. the group which is working actively to improve East Carolina University for you. Not every one of the 9,000 students on this campus can work in the S.G.A. offices. However, or March 25th, each student wil once again have the chance ti decide whom he would like to have in the top positions for nest year. Each person's vote should be based on_ the candidate's qualifications and experience, not on popularity In the past, a great deal of people have looked upon the office of historian as ar unimportant one. This main reason for running. The position can be an important one. The person elected or March 25th can either destroy or enforce the past image this office has held. | intend to work so that the historian’s position will be one that active rather than passive The historian has to keep an accurate record of the years activities. Several new ideas be incorporated into the SGA scrapbook for next year. It needs to be displayed so that visitors can see it and so that each student can feel pride in his Student Government Association. Action needs to be taken immediately. The officers elected this spring have to be people that are willing to work and have the experience needed to be effective officers Believing that 1 can fulfill both these obligations to you the students of East Carolina University, | ask for your vote on March 25th.

No action was taken then. We are now ‘demanding’ that some immediate action be taken on the part of the administration.” Jenkins noted that some of the demands were out of his hands. Future action on the demands will originate in the black studies program is now in the committees, ie. the hands of the Curriculum Committee Comments on the possibility of getting black instructors here were not encouraging. Declining to give names, Jenkins reported that he had met with the presedents of several major black schools in N. C. at N.C Council of Presidents of State-Supported Colleges and Universities. The word seems to demand, short elaboration non-encour be great supply.” Further paralleled — this agement, as he spoke of the shortage of Black Ph.D's and the ‘disservice of going tn to said someone's school.” Similarly, East Carolina finances, or the lack of abundance thereof, was pointed out SENSE OF IDENTITY Conversation of SOULS members labeled this demand a necessity. As William Lowe said, ‘‘When you see your race being cast in the role of invisible people, it give you 4 feeling of inferiority One of the most important reasons for black professors !s a sense of identification. If you see a black man in front of the class, you are proud of your color.” Johnny Williams further pointed out that there was only one Ph.d. in America who has his Ph. D. in Black history, which, he said, ‘‘might indicate that the administration ought to talk less of Ph. D recruitment and ‘robbing’ black school and spend more time looking at the market just graduating from these schools.” BAN ON ‘DIXIE’ Evidence of tension didn’t begin with the third meeting The present preoccupation on campus with the ban on “DIXIE”, according to Audrie was “certainly not the leading issue when the demands were first presented to Jenkins the beginning of this month.” Daniels, According to the Black student committee presenting the demands, Jenkins encouraged the Logic of SGA Channels rather than an administrative decree Acceptance was tendered after their understanding of his succeeding statements on final veto power over student acts as an implication that “DIXIE” would be banned in the final analysis In the recent interview with Jenkins, he claimed, ‘I never promised anyone we'd ban ‘DIXIE They've evidently twisted their words. This is a matter for students to decide.” NET PLEASURE VS’ NET PAIN Jenkins continued in explaining his reluctance in entering the field of censorship. “The thing we must strive for is to understand that in affront to the least of us is an affront to all of us. We must carefully weigh our pleasure against the pain it may cause.”’ Jenkins might well have been echoing the black students in this point. ‘NIGGER’ Last Thursday's meeting was considerably tense when Jenkins suggested instances and names of faculty practicing overt racism Dean Tucker of Student Affairs was singled out at that time. He later commented, “I don’t remember saying it. If | did, it was not meant in a derogatory manner. If | have anybody, then | these offended would apologize along lines.”’ GRAPEVINE TRUCE Daisy Albritton, interestingly enough revealed a_ positive approach to his position. She related, ‘| heard it through the grapevine that Dr. Tucker has extended an apology r his unintentional slurring of the word negro to nigger, in reference to the black students. | would like him to know that | wholeheartedly accept his apology without any reservations whatsoever.” UNCHECKED TENSION Dissatisfaction with the last meeting has heightened tension on the black side. According to William Lowe, ‘’! must quote an American more feared than Communist China and the USSR: “If America don” come around, damn if we won't burn it down’-- H. Rap Brown. Maybe the students at ECU won't burn it down, but negative racial practice won't go unchecked.” Meeting proceeds as blacks clarify questions with standing room only There was standing .vom only as SOULS opened a meeting last Wednesday night in the Library auditorium to answer questions of students and faculty alike. Before the evening was through, the panel yf black students had articulated and clarified their demands, while substantiating their actions with examples of racially discriminatory practices by certain members of the administration and facuity. After explaining the purpose and reason for each demand, the panel opened the floor for debate Housing Student housing rules concerning the assignment of roommates in the dorms have been violated and applied unfairly by the administration, according to the statements presented by several of the students at the meeting. The black students pointed to the instance of a white student who discovered he had been assigned to a room with a black occupant and vocalized his objection. Typically unfair, they charged, is the loop-hole that allowed him to move out immediately, in violation ot the requirement for a before room current thirteen-day period which no changes in assignment may be made. Some points were brought out to indict certain faculty members for using racially-slurring language in the classroom and to note that there are professors who seem biased in their grading of black students. Cited for this case was the professor who threatened to fail “every nigger’ under his instruction, thereby intimidating a black student to drop the course. At the request of a faculty member present, the black students named two such professors charged with these practices, both of whom are tenured. Black Instructors Why is it necessary that only a black man _ teach ‘black history’’ courses? SOULS present answers of an emotional nature where these demands are concerned. ‘There is no white man in this country qualified to teach a black history course, because the black man has lived much of his history while the white man would be at a loss to emphathize with this.’” There were no necklers in the audience last Wednesday. The SOULS members moved easily through their explanations, in an effort as one put it, ‘‘to force concentration On, maybe even an understanding of the other 9.3 demands besides ‘Dixie’."’ @ Folding Laundry 91, Ibs. 83c, Folded 93c DRY CLEANING and SHIRTS Tuesday, March 25, 1969 The East Carolinian Se = . ‘The Rebel’ explores legalized murder At this rate the Associated Collegiate Press will be barring “The Rebel’ from competition. All American Honor Ratings should, after all, be shared. Chip Callaway and John Reynolds just haven’t heard. “The Rebel’’ (Winter, 69) is, as it should be, a mixed bag. It is mixed in quality, too, as would be expected — but, in my opinion, the crowding is in the plus column. First off, advisor Ovid Pierce should be applauded for allowing the staff to exercise its own judgment. The visual effect achieved is very professional. The art and design of Rad Bailey enhance the magazine by _ not overwhelming it; the phota essay makes its somber point with dignity. Most of the poems selected are a notch above the usual college efforts, and Robert McDowell's review of ‘‘Soul on Ice’’ conveys the power of that book.

DAVID SANDERS in the book, but it might have been joined by a student story. All but a few pieces are related to the theme of capital punishment — or, avoiding the euphemism, legalized murder: society’s ultimate admission that it really doesn’t give a damn about the _ individual. Capital punishment, like war, always has its defenders who bring in historical precedent and moral aphorism; meanwhile, the punishment goes On making society guilty of the same crime it professes to abhor.

As Chairman of the Senate Constitutional Amendment Subcommittee, Bayh wrote and guided to passage the 25th Amendment +o. the Constitution on presidential disability and vice-presidential succession.

Gerald Beaver college and the lowering of the voting age to eighteen. “American Roulette” Concerning election reform, Senator Bayh lamented the fact that our method of electing a President, ‘‘which should be the purest example of what a people can do."’ has been noted by the American. Bar Association as being ‘tundemocratic, inequitable, and dangerous.”’ The Senator stated that he abhorred the fact that, because of the unit rule, the ‘‘most powerful office in the most powerful country in the world MARGARET HUX has rooms for 8 boys. 6 upstairs and 2 downstairs. Air conditioned, phone, and refrig- erator. could be put on the auction block’’ if the elections were thrown into the House. He characterized the present electoral system as_ being “American roulette’ and called for the adoption of a direct popular Presidential election. Qualified Youth Senator Bayh defended his call for the lowering of the voting age to eighteen by saying that today’s younger generation is the most qualified in history. The Senator said that he feels that much of the current acceptance of leaders of the “far-out fringe’ by today’s youth is traceable to our political system's refusal of the vote to the young, a situation that could be remedied by the lowering of the voting age, thereby giving youth “’a voice in the destiny of the nation.” Vietnam and Other Issues Asked if he knew anything of President Nixon’s ‘‘secret plan to end the war in Vietnam,” Senator Bayh answered, ‘I'm sorry, | can’t say anything without divulging a secret.” In response to a question on the use of money being spent in Vietnam when the war ends, the Senator responded that he would rather it be used to make up the deficit in the lost fiscal budget and in domestic improvement rather than in further support of “the — military-industrial complex.” Senator Bayh’s wry, human, honest approach and obvious interest in people made his appearance an enjoyable occasion to all who attended, judging from audience’s response.

Such hereby eliminating he diamond t prices, we buy at the A. Se ‘Thou shalt not kill unless thou art a State’ Humanitarians throughout the state were encouraged last week by statements made by North Carolina’s three highest-ranking government officials, Governor Bob Scott, Lt. Governor Pat Taylor and Attorney General Robert Morgan. These three men set governmental precedence in the state by openly opposing the state’s death penalty. These three men showed courage in opposing a law that still carries a great deal of popular support in North Carolina. With the influence of these men, North Carolina may be placed among those 13 liberal and farsighted states that have abolished this archaic mode of punishment. “The Rebel” magazine, distributed last week, presented the case of capital punishment to its readers. “The Rebel” interviewed author Paul Green and state Attorney General Robert Morgan. Both of these men spoke of the futility of the provision which allows the state to take the life of a man. Both agreed that the death penalty should be abolished. There is only one valid argument for capital punishment, and that is revenge. The idea that it is all right — even obligatory — for a state te take a man’s life because he has himself killed is deeply ingrained in our history. But it is no less wrong for that. Murder is murder, and if anything the ritualized, diliberate act of the society is more repellent than the passionate crime of the individual. To quote Marcus Allen, “The Commandment does not read “Thou shalt not kill unless thou art a State,” Nor is it affirmed that “the Lord giveth and the State taketh away, blessed be the name of the State.” The thinking and humanitarian people of North Carolina have begun to open their eyes to this system of revenge. ‘The East Carolinian” hopes that the legislators in Raleigh will take the advice of their elected officials and strike this unjust and barbaric law from our statute books forever. Strikers win reforms minus hard-line policy The success of the UNC-CH students in bringing about a 20 cent per hour increase in the minimum wage of state employees should be noted. Not only were the reforms brought about without any real violence, but they were also instituted without any disruption of the university. Despite Governor Bob Scott’s “hard line” policy at first and the excessive use of state troopers, the students were still able to “air” their complaints about the low-paid cafeteria workers. Some of the reforms the strikers won were an increase in the minimum wage from $1.60 to $1.80 per hour for approximately 5,000 state employees, transfer of the white supervisor they blamed for most of the employees’ complaints, over-time pay, improvements in scheduling, rehiring of a woman cafeteria worker who was laid off for no apparent reason, and an end to the practice of deducting meals from their pay - whether they ate at the cafeteria or not. Thus the students at Carolina shoud be commended for their initiative in identifying the problem and working to achieve reform within the system. Many times administrators become obdurate, or inflexible and fail to identify meaningful problems that exist “right under their noses.” Part of this is due to the protection of vested interests, and some of it is due to bureaucratic rigidity. Therefore, the students are a real proponents for change. They are the ones who point out injustices, mismanagements, and discrimination and seek solutions to these problems— without having to worry about reprisals from someone above them in the hierarchy And, this is the way it should be. The involved students of today will, in all probability, be the leaders of tomorrow. the east carolinian “Let us dare to read , think , speak and write ."’ ec“ Editor in Chief Husiness Manager .Paul F.

Is it a waste of time? If you think it is, you have not yet lived long enough to learn the error of your ways. Ture, for some people it is next to impossible to learn a language, even English. But the learning of another tongue, in opposition to my thoughts ten years ago in high school, brings to a person a_ better understanding of his own language as well as_ the reasoning and_ philosophical thought processes of other nations. Of course if you look upon language learning as an erudition exercise with no application you are like most Americans who do just enough to get by and no more. If you say “Il will mever use the language," remember you are about 22 when you graduate with at least 30 more years of life and the world is becoming smaller. Who is to say you shan‘t use it? If you know for sure that you won't, you are far better than | because | don’t read futures. Besides the above reasons, the study of language along with philosophy and law impart to us a discipline of mind which eventually will lead us to continual self-improvement every day of our lives. He who ceases to learn no longer lives but exists and slowly dies. Is it because you are afraid you might learn something, you don’t want to study, or do you give up too easily? There are many who are mature enough to do the best they can and = often find languages as an interesting intercourse, so much that they major in it. Don’t sell language study short, because if you do, you sell yourself short. Not everyone in America even speaks English and the lack of the Chicago and the San Francisco police forces’ being able to speak Spanish has almost caused riots. Now they both have included — basic Spanish courses in their raining Knowing another anguage might save your life R some day ussian, maybe!!! Stephen Grollinger To the Editor The March 14 edition of “The East Carolinian” stated “there is no such thing as apathy on a campus if everyone is working toward a goal...” These words sound very impressive, but still they are only words to which many meanings may be assigned. | believe that every student at ECU has a goal for which he of. site is striving. Unfortunately, for the majority of students the goal becomes merely wading through enough credit hours and q.p.’s to graduate, sweeping the opposite sex off its feet and onto its back, or dunking more beer and liquor than anyone else on campus. These segmented, individualistic, unchallenging ambitions that take the talent and intellectual initiative of a “‘no-mind” are a representative composite of the attitude of our student body. Most of the student’s time is devoted to thinking up excuses for not doing something, instead of using that time creativly and purposefully through one of the many organizations on our campus. | believe our students are intellectually endowed, talented, creative, and ambitious enough to make East Carolina) a more powerful institutional unit through a solidified student body with strong organizational objectives once the secret to their dormant abilities is discovered. | am convinced that you, the students, came to ECU to find out what you could be in life. You recognized the first step and took it. Now you must realize that extracurricular activities are as important to your records as grades in required courses. You must expend your responsibility to yourself and strive to fulfill your pctential through involvement in organizational activities that will be beneficial. Through discussion programs, field trips, participation projects, practical applications of your knowledge, and special guest speakers on organization, the Law Society, is offering to students interested in law as a career, and to all students who express an interest in law, a way to fulfill their potential, and to help prepare them for the future. The Law Society is taking an honest approach to provide the initiative, the motivation, and the purpose for which it was organized. What the Law Society, as well as many other such organizations, needs ow is student support, student ideas, student involvement, and student participation. Accept the challenge. Bury apathy and cultivate student organizationa! activity. W. Richard Bennett To Whom It May Concern: Speaking of undemocratic procedures, the housing rules for the 1969-70 female sophomores at East Carolina University reaches the top of the list. The rising sophomore girls have been confronted with the unjust method of drawing at random for their rooms for the coming year. Before, the _ procedure had been presented on a “‘first come — first serve” basis which permitted the student to have a choice of dorm and room. Why has this previous procedure been di carded Why have the present freshman female students’ opinions been neglected in the forming of this housing rule? We understand that upperclassmen should have priority over the choice of rooms; however, we cannot understand why the rising sophomores are not allowed a choice of the remaining rooms Why, after the female students pay for the rooms, do they not have preference over the rooms? We hope in the struggle for more diplomatic policies on the East Carolina campus, that this matter will not be overlooked Sincerely yours, Concerned Rising Sophomore Girls dar ay) 44. No ‘Is ~ees
