Robert K. Adams ‘where's By JAMIE HILDEBRANDT Summer school here at East Carolina must be one of the most exciting times ever experienced. With summer here the days are longer giving us all time to do absolutely nothing. more The morning starts with the ringing of the alarm telling us that we have about one hour before class. Classes are not at all that bad, for they break the continuous boredom that reigns over this campus in the summer. lf one is lucky he has all his classes in a row so that he does not have an hour to do nothing with. If you are not one of the lucky ones there is always the CU where one can watch all the others who are in the same predicament of having an hour to play with special days one may have the treat of observing the groups. This is always good for wasting an hour Now on extra orientation and sometimes more. The problem now arises as to vhat to do when your classes are through. This is the perfect time and get all that homework finished so the night will be free. However, if you are like the majority you will return to go home to the CU, go downtown, or home to go to sleep, hoping you don't wake up before the sun fall?’ has set. Night is here! At night one may go to a number of places. Luna's is always fun because the Championship Foosball Game is at almost any hour of the night and even into the wee hours of the morning. Another set will venture downtown to the Rat, Fiddlers or the Buccaneer or maybe to all three. These are good ways to waste away the dark hours, but unfortunately they cost money. A good and cheap evening can be begun by going to the ‘‘free flick,’’ but they aren’t on night, unfortunately. Many girls on this campus live in the dorm. For those who just go to the Buc or toLum’s the idea of returning to the dorm at every the curfew isn’t quite so bad, at feast you will have someplace to go. Now for those who have a definite place to go and with a definite person the curfew can really be a hassle, but that can be taken care of by just not signing out but just hope there is no room check. So the evening is over one way or the other and it is time to sleep or study or maybe just rap. Then once again the tides turn and it is near the dawn and once again the alarm echos and the bright new day begins again, and again, and again... Songfest wins student favor By VALERIE HODGES Local student talent performed Monday night at the Folk Fest sponsored by the Union Committee. Candlelight and smoke filled the room while the audience was entertained by a wide range of styles. The majority of the performers were soloists accompanying themselves on guitars. The songs varied from compositions to Donavon instumentals like “Tangerine Public.’” ‘“Rompin’ Rovin’ Days,’’ ‘‘Song for Sally,” “Reason to Believe’’ and ‘Cocaine Blues’’ turned the audience on. Woody Thurman’s group offered such favorites as ‘’This Train,’ ‘Salty Dog’’ and ‘Lighthouse Blues” strictly Blue Grass style. Another group, aptly named the Pattern of Change, produced a_ strange sound using a combination of piano, recorder and female vocalist. The only duet that performed Monday night turned into a comedy act. Their harmony was Original STUDENT DESK LAMP Student Stationery — Prof Drafting and Art Supplies — 214 East 5th Street strong but the words were discordant. The evening really started swinging at 9:30 p.m. with the music of Dick Webb, better known as Spider. His set began with ‘Custard Pie,”’ an original entitled ‘’Ninety-Nine Miles an Hour’’ and ended with a harmonica selection. The entire evening was rated as ‘‘great’’ and ‘‘enjoyable’’ by those who attended. Spirits were slightly dampened, however, by the presence of one of the Campus Police seated in the back of the room. Perhaps he simply enjoys folk music. 1 Hr. Cleaning ‘E EQUIPMENT CO. TAFF OFFICE EQUIPMENT 00. fessional Filing Supplies School Supplies Cleaners & Launderers Cor, 10th & Cotanche Sts.

Liberals are prolific letter-writers. They find ideological companionship among the news media, especially the electronic media. For most of this decade, they have been successful in their attempts to influence policy -- except in exerting pressure on the Congress and the Pentagon in defense matters. Congress continues to write a blank check for military expenditure. And the euphemism used to defend the ABM is applicable here: ‘‘It is better to err on the side of sefety.”’ The United States, is of course, a ‘‘status quo” nation in every regard. This tradition is probably the most reasonable explanation; it is the governor of Congress. It is not unreasonable for the layman to expect agreement among experts on the ABM question. After all, the recent successes of technology have lulled us into a euphoric state of blind faith. Considering the pressure the military-industrial complex (it is indeed a “complex’’) wielded in this instance, it is a wonder the vote -- or the division on ABM’s feasibility -- was even close. Dialectic reasoning proffers a reaction of the Congress against the headache-makers -- the frustrated, ever-pushing liberal citizens. Opponents of the military mentality must react against the reactionaires. Keep those cards and letters coming. SMcL Adminstration The summer is about to come to an end and with it the administration of Bob “‘Mad-dog’’ Adams. What has the Adams’ presidency meant to the school? Adams’ term of office could best be termed tranquil. There have been no major developments and no major crises. The character and composition of summer school are as much to blame for this as anything. To ask someone as intelligent and as dynamic as Adams to be president of summer school is like having asked General Rommel to command garrison forces in Dusseldorf and expecting him to win brillant battles. With the lack of time for planning and implementation, it is incredible that Adams was able to accomplish anything in the line of semi-permanent changes on campus. Getting the Soda Shop open at 7:30 must be regarded as amajor feat. With the lack of time for planning anu implementation, it is incredible that Adams was able to accomplish anything in the line of semi-permanent changes on campus. Getting the Soda Shop open at 7:30 must be regarded as amajor feat. The very nature of a three-month term of office is enough to make anybody who takes office a Caretaker, just marking time until the first team returns to take over. Constitution vote crucial The “East Carolinian’’ is hesitant to say anymore about the importance of repealing the summer school SGA constitution, but we feel that this is the major forward-looking proposal to be Proposed this year. We are happy that both Bob Adams, summer SGA president, and Wayne Eads, speaker of the summer Legislature, have gone on record as being in favor of this proposal. : The “East Carolinian’ would like to say now that it is your duty to vote and we hope to see you at the polls. Kennedy dilemma Democrats vexes By SONNY McLAWHORN How does Ted Kennedy's personal dilemma affect the future of the Democratic Party? This question is on the minds of many political speculators. Some of the party professionals have already written Kennedy off as a potential presidential candidate. The Kennedy admirers, however, hope for the senator's entry in the 1972 race, despite disclaimers on his part. Certainly Ed Muskie is already a strong contender for the next nomination. Muskie, although widely respected in Washington for several years, did not become a national figure until his selection as Hubert Humphrey’s running mate in 1968. MUSKIE’S STYLE Muskie has a charisma which is difficult to resist. He shuns power in its most primitive form, a refreshing change from President Johnson’s style. Like Kennedy, he has earned the respect of his colleagues in the Senate. Humphrey's choice of Muskie as running mate was considered by many to be the former vice president's finest hour of the campaign. Although Muskie’s stance on national issues is predominately liberal, he would probably outshine Kennedy or any other major contender in the southern region of the United States. Muskie’s visceral style and his Lincolnesque image would indeed serve him well throughout the nation -- even among some former Wallace supporters, who felt that the former Alabama governor was the only candidate who expressed his own personal convictions. WILL HUMPHREY RUN? Humphrey's last-minute surge in the 1968 campaign has earned him serious consideration as a candidate in 1972. Eugene McCarthy’s announcement that he would not seek his Minnesota senate seat in 1970 grants Humphrey a potential power base from which to seek the presidency. After four years of Nixon, Humphrey Democrats think the nation will have forgotten its vendetta against Johnson -- and with it, much of the dislike for Humphrey. It is true that Humphrey’s eloquence earned him the dubious honor of speaking up for the war in Vietnam. !f he were to seek the nomination again, he could certainly assume another vantage point. The mysterious Senator McCarthy appears to have given up the ghost. His refusal to seek power in the party (considered by many of his supporters to be a virtue) is certainly a death-blow in the presence of a Kennedy or Muskie. McCarthy’s most enthusiastic followers will undoubtedly attempt to build a base of power for their leader. But it is doubtful that the dissidents have yet learned that much about precinct and county organization. At any rate, the entrenchment of party “pros” is invincible under conditions. Present A DARKHORse? Insiders feel Party chairman Fred Harris has ambitions for the presidency. The Oklahoma senator took the reigns of g battle-weary Democratic Party in February and has done a creditable job of Spearheading its reconstruction. Harris is young and he is vigorous. Since the midwest and the Southwest, with the exception of Teyas, have failed to. deliver Democratic votes during the past 20 years, Harris might be a logical choice for running mate on any ticket North Carolina's Terry Sanford continues to command the respect of national Democrats. He was a leading contender for the vice presidential spot on the Humphrey, but unlike Harris, who vigorously campaigned for party chairmanship, Sanford has not openly sought any political office since ‘eaving the Governor's Mansion in 1964 Sanford supporters are still very much alive throughout the state, and his consideration of a return to his old position or a chance at a senate seat might preclude any prospect of his accepting a vice presidential nomination. For the time being, Democrats are resigned to a wait-and-see attitude. Undoubtedly, Richard Nixon's success in ending the war in Southeast Asia wil! be the major determinant of the opposition party's future. ecu forum Dear Editor: Why should ECU students give two caws and a tweet-tweet about a bunch of bird-watchers trying to keep an island near Wilmington from faliiny to the tender mercies of a land developer? Although the surfing crowd would sometimes be surprised at the “bird.” being studied by the seemingly semi-senile binocular-bearers, the two groups would appear to have little in common other than a generation and communication gap. One common interest is access to public beaches. Throughout most of the coastal United States beach areas are public land and are reached by Public roads. There are still many places (turn right at the traffic light on Boyne Island, go five miles down the beach and Park at one of the roadside pull offs) where we can get to the Public beach from the road. There are many more places where the road is boarderd with ‘*No Stopping,’’ ‘‘No Trespassing,” and “Private — Keep Out” signs. Haven't you felt the frustration of driving along to a public road in a hot car within sight of white foam and been unable to get to the water because of that narrom strip of “Private — Keep Out’ signs. Untess bird-watchers and “bird’’-watchers make a lot of noise now, within ten years our entire beach will be available only if you ‘‘know this friend who has a cottage at...”’ Lands which developers considered uscless twenty years ago and to which the public had free access are now considered valuable. Land which anyone could use and enjoy is rapidly becoming “Private — Keep Out’’ at exactly the time when more legally public land is required.
