Udall, former Secretary of the Interior, made that statement Thursday night in a speech to East Carolina students. “Nothing is harder to change than an institution,’ he said, “and much of our progress is due to our flexibility.” Udaii’s told the group, assembled in Wright Auditorium, that he disliked violence, but that he upheid the rignt of protest to change inequalities. Udall’s topic was problems the United States will face in the 1970's. He would not comment on the war in. Vietnam. He spoke briefly about racial problems. Mainly, he talked about urban problems and conservation of | SZ. ‘ Cor, 10th & Cotanche Sts. Greenville, N.C. 1 Hr. Cleaning - 7A Drive-In Cleaners & Launderers natural resources. He developed his ideas on parks for the cities. Udall said that many city-dwellers have lost their contact with nature in the “asphalt jungle.” He said that unless the United States makes reductions in foreign aid and questions foreign policy, that we cannot develop an effective campaign against domestic problems. Many people were disappointed in the small number of students attending the lecture. Udall was paid $1,500 for the lecture. in 1961, Udall was appointed Secretary of the Interior by President Join F. Kennedy. He held the position throughout the entire administrations of Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. His first book was The Quiet Crisis. \n this book, Udall advances the ‘‘proposition that 3 Hr. Shirt Service | elk Lyler wrology at i+& best! Every far beanng animal now faked info warmly styled soc ers and coats, Start your our, Z00/f men must grasp completely the relationship between human stewardship and the fullness of the American earth.” His second book was 1976: Agenda for Tomorrow. In this book, Udall says: ‘You cannot save the land unless yousave the people. True conservation begins wherever the people are and with whatever trouble they are ere in mn. Udall recently said, ‘We know now that we ushered traditional conservation into a transitional people oriented era. Now, the total environment (not alone an isolated river or forest), and man (not alone, as in the past, the other endangered species) are seen as one — in terms of all the intricacies of their myriad interrelationships and interdependencies. The progress we seek must henceforth be measured in human and social attainments, no longer the old and simplistically narrow indices like the GNP, freight car loadings, housing starts, and auto output. There is a value revolution upon us, and we realize, as never before, that houses alone do not make communities, that private wheels are no substitute for superior mass transportation systems, and that what's in the freight cars must serve man’s needs — not merely demonstrate his capacity to full up cubic space. in short, the value revolution has to do with the quality of — not the quantities in — life.” STEWART UDALL SPEAKS on urban problems. Judicial policies set A new judicial policy which sets minimum penalties for several offenses has been put into effect by the university's judicial bodies. The offenses include lying, cheating, stealing, entering a professor's office illegally, driving offenses and vandaiism. The minimum penalties had been proposed to “‘arrive at penalties that will insure that a student who has erred will not again in the future.”’ The new policy is expected to: — ‘“Negate a loss of time in deliberation, — “Insure that a defendant's H.

It furthermore allows the council freedom of placing any other restrictions above and beyond the minimum decided upon, as should be.” The minimum penalties for first offenses are: Lying: Conduct probation for one quarter. Cheating: “F’’ in the course and suspension for one quarter. Freshmen would not be suspended for the first offense. Stealing: Suspension for one quarter, letter home. Illegal entrance of a professor's office: Suspension for one quarter, letter home. Drunken, speeding or reckless driving: Loss of automobile privilege for one quarter, letter home. Va nd aliern . ment £ it Vandalism: Payment of an YMer damages, conduct probation for one quarter, letter home. Each offense carries a harsher penalty for second and_ third offenses. “Isolated instances in particular cases may question the fairness and reasonableness of applying this minimum penalty. This should arrise in only the most extenuating circumstances which are virtually impossible te predict. However, if they should, the council after valid, honest, and objective consideration of all evidence may feel free to exact a more commensurate finding. It is here that the philosophy of the minimum penalty must not lose its purpose,’’ the proposal said. The minimum penalty policy has been accepted for a one-year trial period. After that, it can be revised or dissolved. In setting up the new policy, the proposal mentioned the rapid increase in the number of students and the number of offenses. cl Seni Dear Seniors: It is with grez announce my ca senior class pre space is limited, frankly.

Susan Hunt Dear Freshmen: Although most freshmen are recognized for their absentmindedness, insecurity, and gullibility; there are a few who stand out as leaders who have passed this stage. One such freshman is Verna Marie Phillips, or “Barney” as she is most frequently called. Barney has the qualifications to be our next freshman secretary. She has a long list of previous service awards and offices from a senior superlative to secretary of her church ,youth feliowship. Her variations of experience range in contrast from homeroom president for three years to powderpuff football , captain and an student. Because a good personality does not necessarily go along with leadership, it is mandatory that something be added about her qualifications as a reliable, hard-working friend with an unmatched sense of humor. She mak es and keeps friends wherever she goes, and her smile is always reassurance that everything is under control. Remember!

He is an advisor to both the registrants and the government, and thus cannot adequately fulfill all the functions of a draft counselor. But he can give the kind of information that the board wants and other information on the action involved. Also, the appeals agent can appeal a classification at any time before induction, while the registrant can appeal only within thirty days On the state level, there are 96 state appeals boards. There is at least one in every state and there is one in every federal court district. The state appeals boards may be divided into panels, and each panel has five members. Members must live in the district served by the board, and are supposed to represent the activities of that area Registrants cannot appear in person before the state appeals board. Therefore, it is important that your selective service files be as complete as possible.

Also, before a registrant cal he inducted, he must have had the Army physical within the past year. If his physical examination was more than a year before, then he cannot be inducted until he has passed another. Failure to be inducted The actual induction ceremony consists of a speech in which the inductees 4" told that they are about to enter the armed forces of the United States, and each inductee must step forward when his name and branch of service are called Failure to step forward and take the oath of allegiance, after warning, will sul! in the name being turned in for prosecution.

One involves travel abroad and the other involves delinquency. As for travel abroad, many people think that a registrant must get a permit from his draft board before leaving the country, but this is not true. The only advantage to getting this permit is that it promises that there will be no order to report for inductions While the permit is good. However, most draft boards will issue the order only if you do not need it. In any event, it would be wise to inform your draft board if you intend to go abroad. Thus, they will send any letters to you directly and you will have 60 days instead of 30 in which to appeal (unless you are in Canada and Mexico). A ‘‘delinquent’’ is one who ts required to be registered with a draft board and is not, or one who fails to perform an act required of him as a registrant. One who ig delinquent can either be prosecuted, and if found guilty, fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for up to five years. A local board may declare a registrant delinquent only for violation of a specific provision of the Selective Service Act. Thus it is important to note that you cannot be declared delinquent for traveling abroad without a permit, for passing out leaflets or making speeches at the iaduction center, or for insisting on using your rights of free speech and free press Advantages to of service Having gone through this process, let us now discuss the advantage of entering the service. The disadvantages of entering the military are something that must be decided on an individual basis. More than three of every four men in the military service, to quote Tatum again, are volunteers, not draftees. The man who enlists has the advantage of s@lecting the branch of service that he wants, and can sign up for two, three, or four years. He will usually get the kind of training that he wants as far as his job in the service goes, and often he can get assigned to the country that he wants to serve in. Benefits after being discharged include the GI Bill, which will pay for the schooling of the person who ts being discharged. There are many other benefiis that a veteran gets. ; Having discussed the draft law and the tnduction process this tar, and considering the fact that ther will be another article at a later date to discuss the conscientious objector, emigration, and other alternatives to military service (including prison), it only remains to discuss the deferments that a draft board feay iv’ Because of a limitation on space, the following list and brief description of Illustrations by KEN FINCH ou should know... deferments must suffice at this time.

East Tennessee’s defense had as much to do with the win, or more, than the offense. The secondary picked off six East Carolina passes to stop potential scoring drives. Neither team lost a fumble. Individually, Butch Colson and Billy Wightman were the leaders for the Pirates. Colson rushed for 69 yards on 19 carries and VARSITY BARBER SHOP WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO CAMPUS 20 yards. East Carolina’s most serious offensive threat carried to the East Tennessee 13 yard line when Steve Davis tried a 30 yard field goal with 3:53 remaining in the first quarter but was wide to the right.
