It’s purpose is to teach prospective secondary school teachers physics presentation procedures in the classroom and laboratory WORKSHOP’S PROGRAM The workshop’s program is divided into three sections 1. Curriculum study, allowing the student to examine representative samples of all available curriculum. 2. Lab experimentation and giving the student pointers on forming lectures end demonstrations, with each StUd ent Present ing demonstrations during the course of the workshop 3. Lab management, dealing with the actual running of a lab and showing the student how to select materials, acquire sepplies, construct lecture, inalyze cost, and laboratory apparatus NSF GRANT The project, supported by the National Science Foundation through a grant to the Physics Department, is directed by Dr J.W. Byrd, chairman of the Department of Physics. Each student receives $60 for each of the insuing six weeks, is accredited five hours toward his undergraduate degree, and takes part in the workshop’s field trips to Washington, D.C., Greenbank, Va. and several local high schools, to examine physics teaching problems and procedures. Other professors involved in the workshop are Dr. Car! Adler Dr. Robert Dough and Dr. R.M Helms THREE COURSES The workshop was designed primarily for elementary education majors and consisted of three seperate courses of storytelling, nonbook materials, and reading guidance for children combined into one unit East Carolina’s first Library Science Workshop proved to be a tremendous success to both the Library Science Department and students participating in the program Held in Joyner Library, the class lasted six hours each day for the first three Summer School, earning a total hours credit for weeks of or mine participating students The purpose of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for teachers librarians to work on or renew their Certifications.

It is perhaps best expressed by the engraving on a_ letter given Howard by the staff upon “ECC 1963 gamut simple opener his departure: ECU 1969.” ens workshop COMPLEX DUTIES The workshop introduced the students to the complex duties and obligations of a librarian, or “the way librarians speak,’’ as one student put it Programs for the workshoy book tapes, discussions, records, included presentations, films and speakers Maxim Tabory, a Hungariar student, presented a Hungariar folktale to the Storytelling class, in which each student was required to present a folktale for his final examination, The Reading Guidance for Children studied both illustrators, and award winning books selected from Caldecott Medal Winners. CLASS CONGENIALITY Students in the workshop agreed that part of the success was due to the congeniality of the class and the understanding of their teacher, Mrs. Everett. Many of the students said that they had come closer to the people in this class than in any other class they had been in. VARIETY OF BACKGROUND With the wide variety of backgrounds, students felt tha they had enriched each other's experiences. Although the work was found to be hard and demanding, they found the course valuable and well worth the effort. The Library Science Department and Mrs. Everett hope after this success to have another workshop next summer. Whereas this course was designed for the elementary education majors, Mrs. Everett hopes to have another workshop for secondary education majors. Mrs. Frances B. Evere conducted the Workshop.

Constitution that would repeal the entire document. . The practice of having two separate governments a ECU is an anachronism from our days as a normal school. ; There is no practica! reason for splitting the term o the regular term president by three months and in the interregna installing someone who can be no more than a caretaker. Student government here is so complex that by the time the president has fully learned the extent of his functions it is time for him to leave office. : There are many valid reasons for the passing of this motion. The main one is continuity. A prime example of this occured this session. : The Board of Trustees approved the increase of activity fees to cover the campus transit system in the last part of May. It was impossible for bids to be requested for the system until after the regular president was temporarily out of office. When the bids came back, who was going to accept them? The summer school president was not empowered to do so as his term does not include the period that the transit system will be effective. The regular term president was not in office. The regular president needs the three relatively tranquil months of the summer to plan and consolidate his program for the coming year. He also must be in posession of his office in order to be able to see those who wish to see him, and to prevent confusion from arising as to who someone interested in dealing with the SGA should see. Finally comes the matter of campus law. With two systems of government, there must exist two systems of law. In the past when reforms were needed the Legislature has found itself stymied by the fact that although they can change something that effects most of the students, a small minority will not be touched. The best example of this is the Bill of Rights which does not apply in the summer. The expression, ‘This town isn’t big enough for the both of us,’ may not apply, but the idea that this university is too big for the confusion that two student governments create certainly does. Politics of space The shameless political exploitation of the Apollo 11 flight soiled an atmosphere of unqualified scientific success with the petty rivalries of partisan maneuverings for publicity. No one took more advantage of these publicity opportunities than President Richard Nixon. And no one was more out of place. If Nixon’s record of support for the space program is juxtaposed with the partisan benefits he gained from the news coverage of the event, little justification can be found for the prominence Nixon enjoyed as a participant in the television coverage of Apollo 11. Nixon’s record in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s programs is erratic at best. In 1960 when the Apollo program was tn its crucial formative Stages, then-presidential candidate Nixon hesitated to endorse the goal of the Apollo program of putting a man on the moon before the end of the decade. In fact, he defended the policies of the Eisenhower administration which ruled out manned flights to the moon in the “foreseeable future.”’ The fact that Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969 is adirect result of the unequivocal support of President John F. Kennedy and his successor Lyndon Johnson to comprehensive space programs. It is safe to assume that if Nixon had been elected in 1960 there would have been no Apollo 11 As one critic has already pointed out: “The plaque, the phone call and the trip to greet the returning heroes all were benefits Nixon inherited rather than earned.” This objectionable opportunism indicative of the vintage Nixon is beginning toeat away the facade of the ‘‘new Nixon." Apollo 11 succeeded despite Richard Nixon; it is indeed ironic that he should benefit from it. the east carolinian “Let us dare to read , think , speak and write EC S Robert W. McDowell Robert B.

Perhaps DAMN THE TORPEDOES A man that is high up in the student government this summer has struck a blow for Duncan Hines by clearly stating his position on the Torpedo sandwiches dispensed by the crowd in the soda shop. A friend of his purchased one of these toothsome tidbits and was warned thusly: ‘‘Beware friend or that sandwich will give you the breath of a thousand yaks.” THE GREAT TREK Something that began during the spring of 1968, seems to be moving on with unquenched speed. A great migration appears to be taking place among the members of the business department. According to several people majoring in this area, it is many of the Outstanding professors and teachers who are seeking the good life elsewhere. If a disappearing act is in order, why not get rid of the dead weight instead of having the good ones head for greener lands of serve a 12 month term of office. Through the years, the regular term SGA _ has greatly increased its prestige and authority. It has become a body that all of you can have a great deal of pride in. However, in the years past, this has not been the case with the Summer School SGA. Through no fault of its own or of its officers, the Summer School SGA_ has become inefficient. There is not enough time during the summer to accomplish many meaningful and lasting programs. Due to the fact that the Summer School SGA has its own constitution, East Carolina has, in effect, two separate student governments. We are the only major school in the state that can claim this dubious honor | ask that you consider this important amendment. Even though it may not affect you directly, the Student Government does play a vital part in your campus life and you hrysa academe? DOUBLE BUBBLE The famed double standard of life at East Carolina has certainly not taken a vacation this summer. Not only must a day student contend with a lack of parking spaces, he must now fight early rising staff members who are parking in the day students spaces. Nothing is done about this situation, because our virile bastions of campus law and order always seem to be looking the other way day students who venture into However, any the staff area are quick to discover the swiftness of ECU justice.
