Greenville, N.C. en Gi ke Ce ae No. 20 (staff photo by Quade) Page 2 The East Carolinian June 25, 1969 It’s that time of year when the campus is invaded once a week with young, eager faces. Orientation for incoming freshmen began this past Tuesday night and _ lasted through Thursday afternoon for the first group. This schedule will continue through August. The two-day program is filled with meetings, speeches by members of the administration and faculty, as well as students from various organizations including the SGA, fraternities, and sororities. The prospective Students are given a swimming proficiency test and placement tests in Foreign languages, Mathematics, and Music. ID pictures are also made and any spare time is filled with getting acquainted with new people. New students can easily be recognized by their blue folders which are filled with pamphlets, information, and a schedule of the orientation program. The students experience dorm living for the first time; the girls are housed in Cotten Hall and the boys stay in Jones Dormitory. HECTIC DAYS The group is varied and their comments about their orientation are as varied as they are. Most students seem to think that the two days are ‘‘hectic,”’ “‘confusing.’’ ‘‘busy,’’ and “tiring.” “We're lost,’ ‘Could you tell me where Nursing Building is,”’ and ‘‘! really don’t know what is going on!"’ were typical comments. A few parents accompanied their sons and daughters but y CATHY COUNCIL often they were noticably ignored by their children. Most of the future freshmen seemed eager to be on their own. The program is headed by Dean Mallory, Dean of Men, who talks to the students the first night they are here. One student stated that he noticed that Dean Mallory emphasized the fact that this campus has no need for so-called radical organizations such as the SDS. The student interviewed did not seem pleased with this attitude. He stated that these organizations should not be so readily condemned for ‘‘a student should have the freedom to decide for himself about the merits of these organizations.”’ When asked about their opinion of the orientation program the replies ranged from “a well-planned program’ and “very helpful’’ to “it seems we are wasting our time going to a lot of boring meetings and learning nothing really important’ and “It is the stupidest damn thing I've ever been through.” Many students said that they wished that there were more meetings with all the boys and girls together instead of segregated. A_ typical comment about the program was “at least we get some idea of what the campus and the people are like.” STUDENTS FRIENDLY Most future students thought that the students at ECU seemed very friendly. One girl said she liked the fact that there are a variety of people enrolled at ECU. Two boys said that they Frosh invade campus wished that there were more black girls here. One girl said that ‘some of the guys look OK but I can’t believe the number of girls who wear dresses that are three inches below their knees.” Some students seemed awed by the large enrollment here while others seemed to think that there were not enough people around. Most of the future students were excited about coming here in the fall and some even stated that they did not want to leave so soon. Some, however, did not share this opinion and were not eagerly awaiting fall. One boy liked the fact that there would be few regulations for boys and wished that there would be less for girls. Girls were also heard complaining about the regulations for women. One boy wanted to know ‘‘when the piace would liven up” but another boy had the opposite view. He stated in a drawling voice, ‘These meetings lasting until ten o'clock are terrible for that’s way past my bedtime. At home I'm in bed by 9:30 at the latest or the law is after me.” The students experienced typical long ECU lines for the first time when they waited for their ID pictures to be taken. Many of the first week's visitors were heard complaining about this. Other general complaints included comments about broken vending machines in the dorms, cafeteria food, and the rainy weather. One boy summed up his opinion of everything by stating that ‘‘Greenville is all wet.” Dean of nursing retires A unique chapter in the history of East Carolina will close on June 30 with the retirement of Dean of the School of Nursing, Eva W. Warren. Nine years ago to the month Mrs. Warren came to ECU as Dean of the newly-created School of Nursing, the first school on the ECU campus. Forty-seven students had already been admitted for the fall quarter of 1960, Mrs. Warren had no curriculum plan, no approval from the N.C. Board of Nursing, and no faculty. Four years later, 17 of those students were the first graduates of the School of Nursing, a fully approved school with a faculty of 13. In all, 15! nurses, including one male, have graduated and last year’s enrollment of 238 nursing students makes ECU’s one of the largest baccaluareate programs in the state. It is now a fully-accredited (by the National League of Nursing), well-supported program, housed in its own modern facilities and operated by a competent faculty of 23 professionals. On the walls of the hallway outside Mrs. Warren’s office are photographs of each graduating class of nurses, four of whom have already earned master’s degrees in nursing, at least nine of whom are enrolled in master’s programs. “We really have no way of knowing for certain where they all have gone,’’ Mrs. Warren says. “The students came mostly from North Carolina, but are representative of the entire Eastern Seaboard and from as far away as California. “1 deo know that at least two-thirds of them planned to work in hospitals. | know, too, that there are two graduates in California, one each in Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and Texas, and that at least one, our male graduate, is in Vietnam. “Most of our students are either married in college or soon after they graduate and they follow their husbands--wherever they might be going. We try to keep up, but it is difficult.” On the occasion of the unveiling of a portrait of Mrs. Warren in the Nursing Building on graduation day, the retiring Dean said of her students: “Loyalty, dedication and a commitment to nursing and the university motto of ‘Service’ has been their part. We, along with many others,take special pride in the accomplishments of our students and graduates.” “A commitment to nursing’ by her students is more important to Mrs. Warren than a geographic commitment. She will retire with the knowledge that wherever her former students choose to work, they are well-prepared and dedicated. Dean Warren Students taste CU Watermelon First endowed professorship East Carolina University has filled its first endowed professorship, a School of Business chair in banking made possible by a $50,000 grant from First National Bank of Eastern North Carolina. Dr. James L. Knipe, businessman-writer-teacher and former consultant to the chairman of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, will occupy the First National Professorship in Banking for the 1969-70 school year. Dr. James H. Bearden, dean of the business school, announced the appointment, saying that Dr. Knipe’s expertise in banking and finance will give ‘‘highly valuable influence to the program in banking we are now developing.” SIGNIFICANT ROLE Dr. Knipe’s main work in the coming year, according to Dr. Bearden, will be in development of the school’s curriculum in banking. His role,’ said the dean, ‘‘will be extremely significant because it will have far-reaching impact for the future of this program.” “‘We are fortunate,” Dean Bcarden continued, ‘‘to have a man of Dr. Knipe's qualifications to be the first holder of the First National professorship.” First National gave ECU its first endowed professorship in February of this year when the bank’s president, Mitchell F. Allen Jr., handed a check to ECU President Leo W. Jenkins and Dean Bearden. At the presentation Allen said First National set up the chair to help in ‘'furthering the education of those who will be heading our banks tomorrow,” He said the First National grant is also “an earnest vote of confidence in the vast majority of young people in our colleges today.’’ He added“Our directors selected ECU for this grant because it has the second largest business school in the state, and thus the capabilities for turning out the second largest number of future bank management personnel of any institution in the state.” EXECUTIVE POSITION Dr. Knipe, a native of Marshall, III., has PhB, MA and PhD degrees from Yale University. He held executive Positions in various businesses during a 30-year career beginning in 1926. In 1957, after serving four years as president and chairman of the broadcast rating firm C.E. Hooper, Inc., of New York, he became a financial consultant, writer, speaker and university professor. He is author of a highly-regarded book on the American monetary structure, “The Federal Reserve and the American Dollar.’’ For three years (1959-62) he was consultant to Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin. He served as visiting professor of finance at the University of North Carolina School of Business Administration for four years. For the past five years he has written a weekly financial column for. the Trenton (N.J.) Sunday Times-Advertiser and other papers. Students receive honors Five East Carolina University students have been invited to Participate in the honors Program in political science, beginning in September. Students chosen are Robert G. Belcher of Oxford, Raymond D. Howell of Radford, Va., D. Mitchell King of Havelock, Joseph W. Starling of Wilson and Michael Wheeler of Durham. Political science department chairman Dr. William F. Troutman, Jr. invited the Students to participate on the recommendation of political science professor Dr. John P. East, director of the honors program. “In extending this invitation, Dr. Troutman told the students, ‘‘l pay you the highest compliment which the department bestows upon students majoring in political science. Less than five per cent of our majors qualify for such an invitation.” Of the I6 students who have undertaken the program in the two years of its existence, 10 have completed it successfully. ad Greenville water accor Riggs of Department.
