The House passed the bill by a 62-64 vote. fe amendment, offered by Rep. Hugh Campbell, D-Mecklenburg, squeaked through on a 5651 standing vote. The amendment says no doctoral degrees shall be awarded by the regional universities before completion of a state Board of Higher Education study of the egional schools scheduled for July, 1972 Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of East Carolina University and an advocate of the doctoral program, said Wednesday night, ‘‘We have no bjection whatsoever to this amendment. It is ‘Itogether in keeping with out announced intention of 1967. We asserted then that it would take about five years to develop a strong doctorate program in any of the disciplines.” “We have already been working and planning some areas wherin a need exists,’’ Jenkins added. ‘It is our full intention to be ready by 1972 to present to the Board of Higher Education our requests for permission to offer the doctorate. When the program is finally presented, there will be no question about it being approved, Jenkins said that during the interim library facilites would be improved, faculty ecruitment and other areas building toward doctorates would proceed. He added, however, that no students would ‘roll in a doctorate program prior to 1972 because it would be unfair to the student.” East Carolina University Greenville, N. C. aa die Campbeil told the House his amendment makes the bill in accord with the 1967 law requiring asssessment of the regional universities, “You wouldn't vote for the bill with the amendment in it, would you? Rep. Horton Rountree, D-Pitt, asked Campbell. “No, but | think it’s a better bill,” Campbell said. “This amendment makes the act not effective until 1972,’ argued Rep. Ernest B. Messer, D-Haywood. “There's no use for it.” He said the Board of Education had the power under the bill to rule on any proposed doctoral programs and there was no use to wait until 1972 His motion that the amendment lie upon the table failed. Another opponent of the bill, Rep. James Johnson, R-Cabarrus, said he could vote for the bill if it was amended. He said that the creation of the regional universities set 1972 as the time when these schools might be ready for advancement. Under present law, only the Consolidated University of North Carolina can grant doctoral degrees. If all schools now seeking regional university status receive that ranking as expected, 13 of the State’s 15 public institutions will be universities. An attempt by Rep. Jeter Haynes, R-Yadkin, to amend the bill so that the regional universities could have doctorate programs only in education failed. Education is the “field in which they‘re most qualified,’’ Haynes said. ‘If we turn them loose giving doctor’s degrees in all these other fields, we can get into something very expensive for the State.” Rountree replied that “East Carolina University is further along than any other regional universities grant doctoral degrees. “So in one session we can make them a university and let them give Ph.D’s. Warren added, | guess I’m beginning to sound like a broken record. Where are we going in higher education in North Carolina?When are we going to look at higher education from a Statewide viewpoint and do some planning? Warren said that “‘what we are doing is to eliminate or destroy the concept of the regional university. Sen. Hector MacLean, D-Robeson, told the Senate that Pembroke would provide sorely-needed instruction for an estimated 9,000 public school teachers in a 17-county region who have no place within community distance to do graduate work. Regional university status would lend ‘‘more prestige’’ to Pembroke, MacLean said, even though graduate programs have been authorized by other legislation enacted during this session. “They're not going off half-cocked,” said MacLean. Pembroke “‘is qualified to issue master’s degrees in education,” he said. MacLean said, ‘‘When North Carolina established a system of regional universities, there was left a desert of 17 counties without any higher degrees. “It's a desert and it’s needs watering,” he told the Senate. Sen. John Burney, D-New Hanover, called the legislation ‘‘a giant step forward.” “| don’t see how we can deny these peoples’ request,” said Sen. Edward F. Griffin, D-Franklin. ‘They need it and we need it.” Sen. Jack White, D-Cleveland, told the Senate that Pembroke is definitely ‘‘on a par with other (institutions) we’ve made regional universities.”’ Sen. John Boger Jr., D-Cabarrus, said, “Some other areas of education are going to have to suffer if we start supporting all universities on a higher level. Now it is up to the Senate Page 2 The East Carolinian May 6, 1969 ECU asks $7.8 million budget increase | An additional 7.8 million for projects here during the next biennium has been recommended by. the education subcommittee of the Joint Appropriations Committee The figures include $7.1 million for new construction and more than $600,000 for other programs. The only decrease recommended by the subcommittee was a cut of over $600,000 in the school’s Operating budget This decrease was based on revised enrollment estimates. Pitt Representative Horton Rountree said the request for Jamboree To the drum beat of excitement and the thrill of many, the 1969 Jamboree Weekend opened with the Association ‘in concert Friday night in Minges Coliseum. Long famed by their hits,including ‘‘Along Comes Mary,” ‘’Cherish,”” “Windy,” and ‘‘Requiem for the Masses,” they provided a musical review of their outstanding hits, which in 1967 caused them to be the recipient of the Bill Gavin Radio and Record Award for the Number One Pop Group in the Nation. “Goodbye Columbus,” their newest song, combined with all the old favorites created a_ well-rounded evening, which Tommy Boyce of Boyce and Hart termed “out of sight” and “so groovy.” Crowds of substantial people, a GAP petitions for black students includes additional money $1.7° to fund the ‘‘governors program for a building for the School of Allied Health Professions’; $2.67 million for construction of an additiom to the library ‘‘a must item if the doctors degree program goes through;’” $3.9 million for a School of Art building; and $57,000 to extend heating lines to the mew” men’s gymnasium (Minges Coliseum) The requests also include ‘‘B'' Budget requests for $513,090 to instructional program by providing additional faculty and technical employees and provide supporting expenses; ‘a success’ howling dog, one or two girls with signs, and a pile of blankets flocked to the Boyce and Hart concert on the Mall Saturday afternoon. Featured in the Boyce and Hart show was Columbia Records’ recording star Barry Richards, who offered a varied performance of interpretations ranging from Donald Duck and Dean Martin to ‘‘You Make Me So Very Happy,’’ and “Hey Jude.” Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart presented songs such as “Little Green Apples,” which they sang at the 1968 Grammie Awards, “I Wonder What She’s Doing Tonight,” and “Standing in the Shadow of Love.’ “Let's Take a Trip to Greenville,” and “LUV” or “Let Us Vote” brought cheers, claps, and smiles from the audience. improve the ONE OF MANY students signs the petition sponsored by GAP GAP is circulating a petition requesting that the administration drop the charges now pending in N.C. First District Court against the four black students arrested in North Cafeteria on April 1, for allegedly blocking the cafeteria lines. At present, almost 600 students and faculty members have signed the petition. Donnie Draughon, Joe Taylor, James Whittington, and Tom Enoch are charged with violation of N.C. General Statute 14-273, “Disturbing schools and scientific and temperance meetings; injuring Property of schools and temperance societies.”’ This statute carries a penalty of up to two years in jail and/or a $500 fine. PURPOSE OF PETITION Whitney Hadden, GAP chairman, explained the purpose of the petition in terms of “keeping those matters of discipline which affect only the academic community, as muchas possible, within the academic community, and usingrecourse to outside agencies only in the cases of such an extreme nature that such action is absolutely essential.”’ Hadden noted that “The action of these students that $72,269 for maintenance and physical plant; and $30,000 ($15,000 for each year of the biennium for support of the Summer Theater.) Rountree explained that the additional requests were funds not approved by the Advisory Budget Commission. The recommended reduction in the ECU budget, the representative explained, came operating “when the school notified the Budget Bureau of a decrease in the projected enrollment over the next two years.’ The request was originally based on an_ enrollment increase of 575 regular session students on campus in-state students for 1969-70 and 400 students for 1970-71, Rountree explained. These figures he noted have been revised downward, With the revised figures, the regular session of on-campus North Carolina students would be allowed to increase to a total of 9,325 during the 1969-70 school year (as compared with the 9,900 original projection) and to 9,900 during the 1970-71 year (as compared with the 10,300 original request). Rountree said the operating budget for the 1967-68 year was based on 8,667 students enrollment while the 1968-69 year Wi based on 9,325 on cairn state residents. The representative suggested the present enrollment of on Campus state residents did not reach the 9,325 figure, although the total registration figures this year, including summer school, extension programs and public service classes has 10,438. Campus laundry totaled ° will not close Contrary to a rumor circulating on campus there is no validity in the statement that the school laundry is to close. After a short interview with Laundry Manager Willicm Patton, it was determined that the rumor has no basis. Patton stated that to his knowledge there are no plans to nor any indication of a desire to close the laundry. Patton also made it clear that the laundry was neither making a profit nor was it taking a loss. The manager went on to say that the laundry is a needed service to ECU students and is only Operation to meet the needs of the students. Summer theatre cancels 1969 season The Summer Theatre, after five successful summers, has been cancelled for the 1969 season. According to Edgar R. Loessin, producer-director of the theatre, this is only a postponement due to precipitated the charges was of a nature that involved only the campus community.” He added that “Since the problem involves basically a matter of consideration for the rights of other members of the academic community, it should be left up to the academic community to decide whether or not the Students involved present a threat to the ‘general welfare of the acadernic community.’ CHARGES PRESENTED The tour students are now being tried by the University Judicial Council on a charge of “conduct unbeceming an ECU student”, and they face trial in NC First District Court on charges stemming from the same incident. The petition will be available in the University Union this week and there will be members of GAP present to explain or debate the issues involved with any interested students or faculty, Hadden said. GAP is a student and faculty group “interested in protecting student rights and academic feedom.”’ insufficient advance sales. Loessin emphasized that they definately plan to have the Summer Theatre for the 1970 season. LETTERS SENT Letters were sent to all persons who had made subscriptions to the 1969 theatre, stating regret that the theatre could not Operate this season. Loessin gave the subscribers an option to receive a refund or to wait until next season and leave their reservations on file. FINANCIAL AID BILL There is a bill now before the N.C. Legislature which would appropriate funds to aid the Summer Theatre program. “The theatre cannot continue until the status of the bill is decided,’’ said Loessin. “We are indeed grateful to all who have supported our theatre in the past and we hope that we will see its rebirth in 1970," Loessin added.

There are four theories as to how these came to be on the islands One theory has it that the ponies were set free on the island by Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer. Other islanders say that the ponies were brought over by Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists Others believe that the ponies swam to shore from a shipwreck on the trecherous sand banks ff the coast. And, there are some who believe that these ponies were brought to the Outer 3anks by pirates Today there are only 12 ponies left on the Banks. The Department of the Interior remo ed of them because they were eating he grass covering the durne YAUPON TEA The story behind the yaupon shrub growing on the banks today is substantiated by history. The English settlers, accustomed to the English ‘tea time,’ were unable to buy tea because of transportation problems. Thus, some of the colonists searched for some native plant which could be used as a tea substitute. The yaupon shrub proved to be a delightful substitute for tea and many islanders still harvest this evergreen for drinking purposes.

Other kinds of vegetation on the Outer Banks have their attraction—the mixed shrubbery of yaupon, bayberry, silverling, and gallberry, the live oak and loblolly pine. More than 300 species of birds have been recorded on Cape Hatteras National Seashore, a 45-square mile national park. The sportsman also has a special interest in the Outer Banks. The waters around the National Seashore provede a wide variety of sport fishing. The season extends from mid-April to mid-November. Fish caught off the Banks include channel bass, bluefish, marlin, dolphin, mackerel, and tuna. The hunter is attracted to the Banks by the exceptionally good duck hunting. In short, the banks are ideal for the student vacationer. From Whalebone Junction southward to Ocracoke Inlet, the visitor can find a delightful mixture of the quaint, the active, and the restful. svt HUA HE ttt agyth iy of the THE OCRACOKE Lighthouse Page 6 fired a couple of shut-outs at The Citadel as the Pirates swept an important SC doubleheader from the Bulldogs to keep their faint title hopes alive this past Saturday In the first game, Ron Hastings blanked the Bulldogs by 5-0 on just two scratch singles while Sonny Robinson halted the Bulldogs on a gritty 1-0 whitewashing in the nightcap that was won on Stu Garrett's solo homer in the Coupled with Furman losing to William & Mary and George Washington in successive games and _ their doubleheader sweep over the Bulldogs, the title race in the tough southern division of the SC will be going down to the wire with Furman on_ the PITT PLAZA DAIRY BAR 25 Delicicus Flavors of Ice Cream Try a Delicious Banana Split or Sundae 264 By-Pass, Greenville Our repair experts have given more watches a new lease on time than any in town.

They are privileges that are earned. And whenever someone doesn’t keep the contract that allows him the deferment, it can be withdrawn.” So said Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of the Selective Service, in Greensboro Saturday. His statement was an attempt to justify the reclassification of young men ‘‘whose behavior is not in the national interest.’ Gen. Hershey was speaking before a convention of North Carolina Reserve Officers, so his statements were probably well received by his audience, however, the audience was prominent for the people who were not there. Outside a small number of protestors who carried signs and chanted anti-war slogans maintaining a vigil during the speech. Plain clothed and uniformed officers patrolled Outside and several persons were halted, questioned and required to produce identification. The police were very effective in protecting the illustrious Gen. Hershey from the student radicals. Nobody was allowed inside who was likely to not be “in the national interest.”’ The attitude that this 75 year-old former military officer has taken for the last 29 years and is continuing to take in regards to his “‘relm”’ of drafting young men is exactly the attitude that is causing so much revolt and revolution throughout the nation. It is this catagoric denial of individual rights by the Ones who are running the establishment that is causing the youth of this nation to begin bypassing the system and advocating revolution. This word revolution’ is not a nice one. It Carries a conotation of open fighting, death and destruction. Many people today are in abject fear of this word. More and more people are coming to view it as the only way. It took a great deal in the mid 1700's for people in this country to wake up and realize that freedom and liberty were worth being called traitors. They fought and died to create a life with guarantees of these inalienable rights. They were forced to do it because the system, the establishment, had gotten so big that it was inflexible and would not admit the rights of individuals. Hopefully this country has not gone back to sleep. It would indeed be un ‘ortunate to have to go through the same violent process of waking up. --RRT Legislature approves bill Flirting with intelligent action, the North Carolina House of Representatives approved a bill Wednesday authorizing Regional Universities, including ECU, to seek doctoral programs. At the same time an amendment to this bill stipulated that no such degrees could be granted until 1972, following completion of a State Board of Higher Education study of the regional schools. Although the bill does not offer final approval for a doctoral program at ECU, it does represent a more intelligent and unbiased study of the situation by the Raleigh legislators. Whatever force is operating behind the scenes to instigate sound, logical action of this nature is unknown to The East Carolinian. Nevertheless, it is to be commended. : The State Senate will soon ponder this same bill. Every stud2nt in this University should do everything in his or her power to insure a favorable vote for ECU. the east carolinian “Let as dare to read , think , speak and write .“’ ECY So uldedal ME chcbale : SV _ —_——_ a.

See EE ee Dear Dr. Jenkins: The Nigerian civil war drags on, week after week, month after month, producing a heavy toll in human suffering and death. While governments ponder and degate adequate measures to meet the crisin, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has been actively involved in doing what it can to help the innocent cautht in the conflict, by providing tons of iood, drugs and vitamins for distribution through — the International Committee of the Red Cross and several private voluntary agencies UNICEF finds its resources severely strained by _ this continuing effort. Welcome assistance came last fall when the students of America joined an emergency appeal for funds by the United States Committee for UNICEF. Campus contributions totaled over $100,000. A number of the students involve in this appeal have suggested that a seconc relief drive be held this spring. Will you support this effort by forwarding the enclosed information to a responsible student organization, perhaps one which may have been involved in the earlier appeal? Inquiries and requests for information and materials should be directed to: FOOD FOR NIGERIA/BI- AFRA, U.S. Committee for UNICEF, 331 East 33th Street, New York, New York. In behalf of the United States Committee for UNICEF, many thanks for your cooperation and help. Edward M. Kennedy Dear Editor: | would like to comment on what | feel is the most pressing problem facing ECU at the present time, manely Joyner Library and the research probiem in general. As a senior English major, | am in the position of having to do a great deal of library research This, | find, is next to impossible under our present set-up. Not only is there a terrific problem as a result of a lack of seating space, but one also faces the added distraction of a carnival-like atmosphere In addition to this, the number of unavailable books is astounding, as is the time involved in waiting at the circulation desk. | realize the library is quite overworked and understaffed, so | call on the administration to work on the more pressing problems first. The question of another soda shop or of wall-to-wall concrete carpeting for the entire campus does not, or should not at least, take priority over the more urgent needs of the Library. Without more and better books, this can never be the type of university we seek to become, Barry W. Garrison Dear Editor: In this age of instant communications, nuclear power, and flights to the moon, Jones Dorm has heat boiling from the radiators constantly, even when the temperature on a spring day reaches 85 degrees. Why must it be so? A Frying Freshman Dear Editor: The following letter was prepared by a group of our students in an attempt to express their appreciation for the fun they had in touring the East Carolina University campus recently, We spent much of our time in the Art Department, since time was limited, making it impossible to see everything. A quick walk through the new coliseum was also possible, Although this tour was not arranged formally, the students and employees of East Carolina University were most gracious hosts. It was their friendliness that seemed to “put the frosting on the cake” for our students, and most likely as the impetus for the fo! letter: “We the boys of the Correctional Rehabilitat Center at Maury, Nort Carolina, would like thanks to the students at § for their gracious hospitalit which we received campus April 24 Thanks especially to the students in the art department. We wo to come again in the near { because there was so muct we were not able to see What we did see was interesting. Boys at Correctional Rehabilitation Center Dear Editor: For thame, ‘'East Carolinian’’! Have you moral standaras of conceptions of decency With your printing of the advertisement of beatnik John Lennon and_ his. slutty girlfriend standing stark naked to the skin for all the world to see, you have joined the growing ranks olf sewer-dwellers. Why you accept such filth for advertising is beyond my comprehension. There is no conceivable reason, in God's name, why you should publish obscene and nasty pictures of exposed bottoms, busoms, and worst of all, apples!! Have you any conception what trash like this might do to some of the children of our fine University? God knows, some people seem to be going out of their way to help the communists win — what with anti-war demonstrations, equal-rights, protests, and long-hair bohemians smoking oof, dope, and speeds, you have to help the enemy by publishing pictures of, God help us ... the naked Human Body!
