A GAP spokesman reflected on themeager student attendance at the session “GAP would like to thank all those who participated jn the day-long dialoque especially the members of the faculty and administration who were concerned enough about communication th the student body, to speak at the sessions.” The spokesman added, "The small number of students attending the session, we feel, is an insult to all those who did participate."

Westmoreland said there was absolutely ‘‘no evidence to support’ figures released by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., that some 300,000 Vietnamese civilians had been killed in the war. He compared the Tet offensive in the spring of 1968 to the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941. Westmoreland said the offensive ‘‘galvanized the South Vietnamese and unified the country” as it also lowered the civilian morale in the U.S. Westmoreland conceded that “it's taken an awful lot of time to develop the Vietnamese force particularly the leadership’’ and he anticipates a residual force in Vietnam for some time to come. Dear Editor: In the Dec. 16 Fountainhead, Edward Brodie issue of of the Spirit Committee commented upon his not having been allowed to carry a poster into the gymnasium to support the basketball team. While he and the rest of his committee refiect upon his personal insult, | would like to reflect upon mine. It was explained to him that Black Power posters were being avoided, and this, he rationalized, was ‘‘to protect the school’s good name.” Being black, | see no reason why a poster which ‘says “Black Power’’ makes East Carolina seem any more biased an institution than do the numerous Confederate flags flown at any given football game or in connection with Homecoming activities. Has anyone considered how the enthusiasm these invoke from the student body as a whole may affect the “spirit’’ of black athletes on the teams? Moreover, Brodie ‘‘sees no earthly reason why in order to prevent hearing from one small segment of the population, we must stomp on everybody AWAY L've Gor rr! The PERFECT Man! “You've GOT YOUR BAG, AND I'VE GOT MINE else.” Well, since that segment is a part of the American population, that segment has not only a right to speak and a right to be heard but also the right to exercise its rights without being ‘‘stomped on” by the foot of opposition and oppression. | want to thank Brodie for expressing the narrowness of mind and consideration that chokes East Carolina. Brenda E. Pugh Dear Editor: We can actually sympathize with the way the ‘‘ordeal’’ regarding the poster has affected Mr. Brodie. We can understand how a rule can appear seemingly unjust—when you are told that “you” can't and someone else can—and does. We can even agree with Mr. Brodie that rudeness is not always as effective a means for enforcing the law-—unjust or not—as politeness. However, because we are Black, speak with a dialect which identifies us as such, wear Afros, and are prone to carry Black Power sicns, we assert that a law that is enforced should be enforced to the masses as well as to that AND Love & SHALL.

We can understand how Mr. Brodie would readily support stopping Black Power, just as we can see how he insists that being neatly dressed, having short hair and being shaved—in addition te Ocal mg WHITE—would make you feel that you are right—whether you are breaking rules or making unjust ones. The comparison he made between his ‘‘ordeal’’ and the drive for Black Power was in actuality unnecessary. Mr. Brodie overexerts his nervous system because for once “white wasn’t right.”’ We recommend that he try to gain a better understanding of the How’s and Why's of Black Power before he attempts to use it as a stepping stone to making himself iook better. Black Power is not an excuse for him or any of his “segment,” it is part of a way of life. With little respect to Mr. Brodie’s ideals of fairness and justice, with no respect to his (continued on page 8) RD! STOUT | UzZ> PS4AN=-IIO
