One explanation was given by Dr. Robert Williams, Provost. He told an SGA representative that losing the that devoted to a reading day might class time would be cause the University to lose its accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Dr. Floyd Read, chairman of the Claendar Committee, said his committee felt a reading not practical and voted not to incorporate it In next year’s calendar. Instead, they extended the exam period an extra day. He also said that he had been told that members of the faculty felt that the reading day would be an all-day party for the students, and that it would not improve grades. The SGA said the reading day was not proposed to improve grades, but to give the students a rest before exams. Arrangements for a reading day fall and winter quarters were made by the SGA. Action against the delegation of reading days was initiated by the SGA’s opinion poll. The results of the poll will be presented at the next Calendar Clune meeting of the Committee, said Tom SGA Affairs.

By JANE KELLER Apollo 12 traveled through a tube’’ on its journey between Earth and the moon According to Dr. Tullio Pignani, the chairman of the Math Department, the “tube” is an area within which the space craft must travel on Its way to and from the moon. Pignani was a member of a four-man mathematic research team for NASA. The theoretical solution for mathematically constructing the ‘tube’ and the exact route of Apollo 12 other lunar missions was and successful discovered by Pignani “Calculating the trajectory ship was out of the space Specific proplem, says Pignani. ‘‘The trajectory is the point at which the space craft leaves the Earth's parking orbit to the point at which it enters the lunar parking orbit.” Dr. Pignani said, ‘‘It is quite simple to mathematically calculate a straight line trajectory, but the space craft did not travel ina straight line Its path was a curve “Another very important consideration is the fact that the computers in the space craft can only add and multiply. They cannot subtract and divide. A computer large enough to subtract and divide is too heavy and too large to be included in the space craft we now employ.” Pignani described the conditions under which he and his colleagues arrived at ‘their successful ‘‘Patched-Conic Method” of caluculatior “After about a year of examining the research in celestial mechanics, especially Siegel, the outstanding German authority, | discovered that none of their projected By WAYNE EADS Dan Pollitt, professor of law the University of North Chapel Hill, will Thursday at the monthly meeting of the Greenville chapter of the North Carolina American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) The topic of his speech is the relevancy of constitutional law principles and concepts to the work of the ACLU.

It ac the first time that a concert had been completely sold out. However, grave problems did exist. Because the seating capacity of Minges is only approximately 7 ,000 and the demand for tickets was greater much greater—than the seeating capacity, some students were turned away. Dean Alexander attempted to help this problem by adding an additional 500 seats, and these were idded by placing an additional number of seats in the aisles ind by adding more seats to the main section. if a fire marshall had come into Minges either Saturday iffternoon or Sunday morning, he could have closed the concert because we were violating fire regulations. But, even increasing of seats proved to be insufficient for the this demand As | mentioned earlier, this was the first concert in the jistroy of the University that was a sellout. We were totally inprepared for this situation. Dean Alexander and the Central ricket Office, upon realizing the concerts were to be more ynular with the students than was expected, released tickets + aside for the faculty and the staff to the students. This ed some members of the faculty and the staff to complain Jean Alexander, but he told them the concerts were paid by the students; and, therefore, the students should be the get the benefits of the tickets. Also, several alumni and orters of the University wanted tickets. They were not tickets because of the great student demand for them. he student tickets were exhausted late Wednesday ternoon or Thursday morning before the concert. iny students complained to me and to Dean Alexander, hy there were not enough student tickets. | have sent iter to the Legislature asking them to view the policy of CTO.

President Leo W. Jenkins said Tuesday that the University’s current base of courses dealing with crime and delinquency will be used to develop significant curriculum and structures for a comprehensive program in the field. An advisory committee will be formed to facilitate development of the program. “We are faced with a demanding crisis in the field, and recent events have illustrated the need for and the role of law enforcement in human relations and the prevention of crime,’’ Jenkins said. ECU's program, he said, will be coordinated through the new Department of Social Welfare and Social Work in collaboration with the Department of Psychology, Sociology, and Political Science for the time being. Former students arrested for putting up Two former East Carolina students were arrested early this morning and held under S50 bond for putting up posters in the Greenville area. Greenville police charged Daisy Albritton and Mitch Marshall about 2:30 a.m. for posting signs concerning Dr. Ralph Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and his scheduled visit to Raleigh on Dec. 6. Abernathy will speak at Raleigh’s Memorial Auditorium in a statewide workshop of SCLC. The two SCLC volunteers were driven by Deborah Byrd, member of the organization's state Board of Directors.

With awsome regularity the American effort in Viet Nam is going down the time honored corridors of a frustrated crusade F In the early 60's, simple and straightforward actions in the approved containment of the communist menace brought about new but not surprising reactions. The U.S. responded with one of f its many possible options, namely escalation for the application of increased pressure against the enemy. However, in direct antithesis to the optimistic promises of the Pentagon planners, escalation did not bring about an immediate result. In fact, President Kennedy found no amount of increase could get around the inability of the ruling and hated clique in Saigon. Under Johnson, escalation succeeded escalation and scheme fell before scheme. An aroused academic community and a mass of sullen youth began to object to the seemingly endless regress of our military position. Johnson was unable through all the traditional pressure points of the cold war _ diplomatic machinery, |. to enlist Russian aid and 2. to get allied support. Finally he was unable to turn back the tide of traditional military energies and find a path for reconciliation. After stopping the bombing, which was much more costly in men and planes than _ tactically effective, L.B.J. refused to run again. Enter Mr. Nixon. Fully armed with all the old mottos and arguments of the Eisenhower days Nixon has found his way ever more difficult. The silent majority is still silent and as every week goes by, is less and less of a majority. In the weeks since the November Moratorium it Dear Editor: ! am told that black markets go with the unsettled conditions of war, but | am not happy to know that unscrupulous Vietnamese are growing wealthy while inflation threatens out democratic institutions at home. | understand that a draft is necessary for carrying on a war, but | think involuntary servitude is unAmerican. | can imagine the pressures that cause the Saigon government to imprison its political opponents and censor its newspapers but | do not believe keeping such a government in power 1s worth any more American lives. | do rot believe it Is necessary OF useful to continue this wat Paradoxically, the people who are doing most to promote these American ideals today are those who take the unpopular position of opposing has become more and more obvious to the American people-even the most fomantictstic Vor aW. zealot-that Washington has no new answer and is locked into an eternal cycle with a brutal enemy who understands the American predicament with merciless logic and profound insight. The next step in the horrible drama is now unfolding in precisely the way it unfolded after the failure of the crusades, the German defeat in World War | and the Korean conflict. It is now progressing into internal accusation and bitter invective. Nixon blamed a ‘‘bad press’’ for his first presidential dissaster, Spiro is now blaming the press and its more outspoken followers for his second. Amidst such anger and emotionalism, the administration and the pent-up frustration of hundreds of thousands of middle class citizens are searching for the “traitor in our midst’’ who betrayed our righteous cause. Already, many lesser political creatures are demanding investigations of the press, T.V., radio and youth activist groups. Needless to say, the human mind acting as it does will cause many to seek to out do Spiro in their efforts to “hunt out the heretics and he forum their government. As_ the reports of the October 15th Moratorium went round the rid publicized in Iron Curtain countries by the Voice of America as well as by Tass what was the message? America is disunited? Yes, but we have never claimed to have only one mind, only one opinion. The message went out to people in all the Communist dictatorships in the world that even in time of war, the government of the United States is a government of the people. A lesson was taught about the way to change government policy. The conditions under which the lesson was given made it much more telling Communist citizens could identify with the democratic method, and their governments had to praise the action A ‘ Already n Czechoslovakia unbelievers’’-those who have frustrated the national will-and “burn them at the stake.”’ The very nature of the T.V image and the total electronic quality of contemporary news-gathering make ~ such phrases as ‘‘objective’’ obsolete. The vain pleas that news media be ‘‘neutral’’ and tell exactly ‘‘what happened”’ demonstrate an utter stupidity in the face of Twentieth Century communications. What Spiro really wants is editing, but editing favorable to the romantic nonsense of the past, not the past as it really was but as he would like to think it was. The past where American troops committed no troci s, where highly placed eo military gold bricks were not merely tools of the costra nostra stealing millions from the draftees pay, where super heroic generals, Lee and Foch and Eisenhower planned great campaigns and saw them through to victory is just no more. The massive complexity of the Viet Namese struggle and the participatory nature of the home front involvement is such that all are partakers of the sorrow and the dying. Spiro, these words would | address to you (to. paraphrase Judy Collins), War's illusions you recall, you really don’t know war at all. Yugoslavia, the USSR, people had dared the much greater hazards of protesting violations of freedom there. They are stronger now because of the leadership of the United States When we have strengthened the democratic forces in Communist countries, are we not winning the real war? The buddies of the man who has been killed in a frontal attack don’t feel they betray him when they abandon that operation and attack from the enemy's rear. | believe that those who seek to stop the fighting are doing more to insure that our honored dead shall not have died in vain than are those who insist that we keep charging up Hamburger Hill Mrs. Edith Webber = AMAA . — - eteseta eR anh dtinnet SABRE ARMA AAR ARES | ce ranean ne 48) ARMOE Fh hihi Aigpaaoe bee -AmO™ Reading day loss should be protested t T th Calenda ommittee O the fF ty Sena ibolishing the reading day !s eR ae ) rsitv did something to NC I Univ y aid $ udent get a better ecucation only to Nave ttee negate the good that was done \ t y t have reading days ‘ St reput i Nave edQing sd yy Ml them have a we feen the tast class day : 2 Ay nd Tirst exam day OL idents at Yale Brown irvard, Car tc. find it hard to believe I t ve at least one reading Jnivers } d have had readinc T ) sh d have f ral f Jays S { d elr thoughts before being tested did N\ ti ve had 1 reading day { ( t be retained and lenathened { isl SU \ \ Tt a Gay (or days) is obvious.
