A rally on the mail is also planned. Guest speakers will meet in a moderated panel discussion. The original idea for the Teach-in came from Senator Gaylord Nelson, who had mentioned it in several addresses. He received a volume of mail in response to them. Gaylord then appeared on the Today Show and afterwards received nearly a thousand letters. A group of interested people formed a sort of policy committee which turned into the national steering committee. The committee is comprised of three students, three orofessors, two politicians and a conservationist.

There will be gatherings up of garbage for deposit on state capitols and in front of major polluting industries. There will be pickets. There will be informational leaflet distribution. There will be community canvassing, and in some areas of the country, where there simply hasn’t been much political movement in the past, | suspect there will simply be meetings of students with various people who have some knowledge of the environmental crisis for an exchange of information, hopefully with a great many critical questions arising in the audience.” A meeting will be held Tuesday in the Biology Building, room 201 at 7:30 p.m. Scott emphasizes need for student motivation Gov.

The governor traced the upward swing in public school and higher enrollment as well as in the vocational and industrial facilities across the state. He said enrollment in colleges and universities is now three times what it was 20 years ago. Likewise, the dropout rate in public schools is steadily declining.

The delegates from 25 Jr. and Sr. colleges in N.C. reviewed legislation as if they were in fact the State General Assembly. The bills passed by both the House and the Senate in the form of laws are submitted to the General Assembly as resolutions. In its 33 year history 43 per cent of the bills passed by the SSL have become N.C. law. John Farrel, president pro tem of the senate from Belmont Abbey said, ‘We're one of the few student groups that has a record of being listened to. “This is the most effective way in North Carolina to express the opinion of the young.” Bills which were passed included: a bill lowering the voting age to 18, a bill repealing the soft drink tax, an act prohibiting the down grading of water resources by industry, a bill repealing Blue laws, and an act repealing the death sentence for convictions of rape. The bill introduced by the ECU delegation, which would have provided for a developmental Campus Planning Commission to be used as a communications link among the state supported GOVERNOR ROBERT SCOTT and President Leo Jenkins discuss the 12th annual Industrial Arts Conference. these troubled times to do all you can to enlist the support of all people for our schools and for education in North Carolina,’’ Scott told the group. At the conclusion talk, Scott plaque of his was presented a by President Leo Jenkins. The wooden plaque, made by the Department of Industrial and Technical Education, is to remind Scott of the campus and its needs. Special guests for the conference also included Dr. Robert Holt, F.D. Duncan, and Dr. Kenneth Bing Although passing easily in the House, it received much negative debate in the senate from the large state supported and private schools which could not be included in the program. Those who debated negatively against the bill said that those who would serve on the Board already served in an advisory capacity and thet communications were good enough now. Affirmative debate argued that effictive communications between state supported schools did not exist. The schools compete with each other voting on awards for the best delegation, which ECU won last year, best speaker of the House, best speaker of the Senate and best bill. ECU Senator Bob Thonen, debating on nearly every issue, received the award for best Speaker of the Senate.

The value of such programs, said Wanderman, is the opportunity they provide for first-hand understanding of the German people, their customs and culture. Wanderman emphasized that programs for studying abroad are not vacations, and are to be approached seriously. However, he said, ‘Learning and having fun need not conflict.’’ And learning experience is enriched by enjoyment, he added. Jewelry’s $100,000 received for planetarium East Carolina has received a $100,000 grant from the American Credit Corporation Foundation for the construction of a planetarium. The announcement was made at a breakfast at the Greenville Golf and Country Club the morning of the eclipse by Sen. Herman Moore of Mecklenberg County. The donation is subject to at least $200,000 in matching funds. Jenkins said that the grant is the “largest gift ever received in the history of this great institution.” The plans for the plane- tarium now call for a plane- tarium chamber, exhibition toom, and Proud symbol of L.

For the fifth straight year, East Carolina has captured the Southern Conference Swimming and Diving Championship. The Pirates took the title in a meet held here during the vacation. The victory was won in spite f the strongest showing ever by runner-up William and Mary. When it was all over, the Pirates had collected 603 points to 536 for the Indians, 789 for VMI, and 162for Davidson. East Carolina had taken an overwhelming lead after the first two days of the three day event, but a strong showing by William and Mary in the 200-yard backstroke, in which Ken Hungate was the only Pirate to finish among the top six (he placed third), cut the gap to within 18 points. The Bucs dominated the last four events, however, to clinch the triumph—perhaps the sweetest win ever for the Pirate mermen. As usual, Jim Griffin was an Outstanding performer for the Pirates. He captured individual championships in the 100, 200, and 500-yard freestyle and eclipsed his won conference record in each event. In addition, Griffin anchored the winning 400 and 800-yard relay teams, giving the Pirates needed points in each event and enabling the 400-yard relay team to break the previous conference record. For his fine performance, the Norfolk, Va., sophomore was named the Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet for the second straight year. NORRIS TRIPLE WINNER The Pirates could not do it with only one swimmer, though, and Griffin had a capable supporting cast. Wayne Norris was also a triple winner, setting two conference records. Bob Baird captured both diving events. Steve Weissman and Garry Frederick were the only other individual winners for the Pirates, who won 72 of the 18 events contested. Norris captured the Club begins drive; expects increase The Pirates Club will launch s fund raising drive April 6 in an attempt to raise $50,000 to support the East Carolina athletic fund. The Drive is expected to net an increase of $12,000 over tast years contributions. “The Club will support all 13 sports at ECU. We’re not just. supporting football...we're supporting basketball and swimming and track and all the other teams of the university,”” said Ed Rawl, president of the clubs. He said that the money the Tim Mills Randy Dixon Pirate Club hopes to raise will go mostly for grant-in-aid scholarships—something for which state funds cannot be used. “We've got some great new coaches here at ECU,” said Rawl, “and they are going to get some great players to wear Pirate uniforms. But to get the great players you have to give scholarships...and you have to raise money to pay for these scholarships.” The money will be collected on a person-to-person drive.

Fountainhead, March 16, 1970, Page 7 Baseball season opens; Pirates bow, 1-0, to Duke By DON TRAUSNECK Sports Editor The Pirate baseball team went into its opener with Duke Saturday with hopes of having another fine season based on an improved hitting attack. When it was all over, however, the Pirates had fallen victim to a one-hitter, 1-0. Only Stan Sneeden, who drilled a two-out single in the second, hit safely for the Pirates, and only five other batters reached base, all on walks. Fortunately for the Pirates this was a non-conference game. They have until April 4 to get ready for their first conference opponent. A fine young crop of pitchers led by Ron Hastings, who started Saturday and worked six strong innings, is expected to give the Bucs added strength this year. In addition, coach Earl Smith noted that the fielding has improved over previous seasons. Hastings, who allowed only one hit, a lead-off single in the third, was removed in favor of Hal Beard to start the seventh. Beard immediately got into control trouble as he allowed the Blue Deviis to score the game’s only run without a base-hit. A walk, a hit batter, and two. sacrifices brought about the score. In addition to the single allowed by Hastings, only one other Duke batter hit safely in the sluggish contest, played before 200 fans who braved a chilly wind. The Devils were able to come up with harmless. single in the top of the eighth.

For the last six years, the Pirates have been particularly strong in even-numbered years. In 1964, the Pirates received an at-large bid to the NCAA playoffs. In 1966 and again in 1968, they won the Southern Conference championship. With that in mind, if everything shapes up as well as anticipated, this should be the 36th straight winning season for the Pirates. SPRING IS HEPE!!

Page 10, Fountainhead, March 16, 1970 The legends By KAREN BLANSFIELD Atop an isolated limestone rock, at the junction of the Blarney and Coomaun Rivers in County Cork, Ireland, stands an old castle, called Blarney Castle The castle, the third one on the site, was built by Cormac Laidhr McCarthy, the lord of Muskerry, on the foundations of the second castle, which had been constructed in 1200 At one time it was the strongest in Munster—one of the five early traditiona divisions of Ireland—but !t lat became the object oO. severa seiges ‘ \ ‘ Re kad FAL TAG Aceeabuasees.anarenataal< sha f (as usually happened) he yas tricked into glancing away, instantly vanished, eaving his secret untold. ve fairy One of the stories connected with the legend of the epr aun tells of a young Irish boy named Sean One sunny afternoon, as Sean was waiking down 4 country road in Killarney, he heard the sound of hammering topped and listened, and etly toward the e+ <2 me Se 7 = bi = so (Art by Lee around it, and sure enough, behind it sat a leprachaun, whistling merrily as he hammered away at his shoes.

The leprachaun pointed to one of the tree stumps and said, “Under that stump is hidden my pot of gold.” Sean was very excited, but he realized that he was going to need a shovel to dig up the treasure. Still keeping his eyes on the leprachaun, he removed a red scarf from his neck and tied t around the stump “Now,” he said, ‘I will give you your freedom only if you swear that you will not remove that scarf while | am gone.” Seeing that he had no choice, the leprachaun reluctantly agreed. Sean released him, and hurried home to get a shove, all the while thinking of the treasure that was soon to be his. When he returned, he could hardly beleive his eyes. His red scarf was still there, but there was a red scarf exactly like his around every tree stump as far as he could see.

RETURN TO IRELAND Patrick returned to treland in 432A.D., a year which marks the beginning of a new and ‘‘golden era’ in Irish history. He began teaching the youth Gospel in County Down, where Nothing is known of the he made progress with the nature of this sin, but its common people. Patrick had no difficulty converting the Irish people since the old religion lacked discipline. There are no records of ‘‘public protests’ or ‘‘religious riots’ against his mission. Patrick knew, though, that he must also reach the Irish who held powerful positions. Therefore, he sought the High King of the old religion, the and law-givers, and who possessed mystical powers over the minds of the people; and the filidh, who were sages and *.. The powerful officials accepted him and assisted him with gifts of land on which to build his church, but they would not become Christians. example. He died a pagan and was buried in the traditional manner of a pagan Irish chief: standing upright, facing the direction of his enemy. that the future iay with the new faith. He held to paganism while giving such encouragement to Patrick and his mission that the progress of ‘teachers swept the country from north to south, and he established his Archbishop at | Armagh. “CONFESSION” Before he died, Patrick ' wrote his ‘““Confession,’’ which is an account of his conduct. From the document, one learns that he was accused of lack of higher education, coming to ireland for money purposes only, and spending money too freely. Before he came to Ireland, he was recommended candidate for the episcopacy. At that time, a certain friend, who had previously favored his ‘ elevation, revealed a crime that “ty Patrick had committed in his as 4a disclosure brought about his rejection and deeply hurt Patrick. Despite the accusations, the Irish people honored him for his efforts in the development of Christianity and made him the patron saint of Ireland. Patrick died at Saul, County Down, March 17, 493 A.D., Downpatrick, the spot where he founded his first church.

' Bob Whitley | think first that the student government needs to make more of an effort to inform the students on what the student government is doing, how the students can become involved and what the student government can do for each student. We in the SGA must realize that there are so many things, though some very small, that the student government can do to benefit the students. For instance, the men on the hill need a lighted pedestrian walkway to Minges, the women in the dorms need support in their effort to abolish or revise many of their regulations, we all need to be guaranteed entertainment tickets at Homecoming, we need to insure the objectivity of our publications, we need to see where our student government money is going, we should be guaranteed that our reading days, scheduled for each quarter next year, be enforced. | think the student government needs to make an effort to increase school spirit in support of our athletics. Probably more important than these, and my last point, is that the student government should make each student feel that his student government is working for his benefit. This can only be done by an active student government—not just a representative student government. Len Mancini The very first priority is to see that at least $5,000 gets rechanneled into the emergency loan fund. It is ridiculous when five out of six people who apply for an emergency loan from the SGA get turned away because of lack of money in the fund. AnSGA that could not secure one day per quarter as a reading day does not “cut the mustard.’’ The lame brain excuse that it isn’t on the calendar is just that, a lame brain excuse Another important priority is to redistribute the funds (that are already available to the SGA) in a more meaningful and efficient manner so that all students would receive the maximum itility from. their activity fee. This would then lead to such things as more campus buses In specific regards to the dorm students, to Initiate a program whereby refrigerators could be put into every room of every dorm at a price less than the current one Presently the SGA is making $2 per refrigerator rented. The SGA should serve the students, not exploit them. The SGA should insure that the autonomy of the MRC and WRC is respected. The larger more central government should never take it upon itself to ‘push around” the smaller more local government. Finally, but not necessarily least in importance, is to see to it that the school newspaper ‘‘play it straight,’ that is, report the news and not distort it. If they want to call me names on the editorial page, that is their privilage, but it should be confined to the editorial page. | am just asking them to reevaluate themselves not government imposed censorship. —$———— oo o~SO What is your view of the role of the office you seek in regards to the legislature? Len Mancini In any government, whether it be the government in Washington, Raleigh or the student government here at ECU, the executive must be the one to set the goals of that government and put it ton the road which would ultimately realize these objectives. As speaker of the Legislature, | have already gotten a good working rapport with that body. Therefore, there would be less friction in the student government if | were advanced to the office of president, since | have already worked with the legislature. Simply, it would be easier for me to implement my goals through the legal processes of legislative action. Bob Whitley Well, of course, the executive branch is a separate branch from the legislature and throughout our American history the autonomy of each has been protected, but we have got to realize that we can’t overlook the sole purpose of our student government—that of protecting the best interests of the students. Many times this year | feel like controversy between the legislative and the executive branches has caused this purpose of the student government to be overlooked. We've got to resort to the fastest and the most efficient way of helping the students, whether it be through executive oI legislative channels. The president of the student government, when he feels that the legislative is not doing its job properly, should initiate action to do so. For he should be responsible, first, to the students and not to the legislature ‘ ' ‘ noone What have been the major contributions you have made to your present office? Bob Whitley | was chairman of the Homecoming parade and | think that this year’s parade was the most elaborate that we have ever had. Of course, | don't want to take all of the credit for this because the work of the various organizations, fraternaties and sororities made Homecoming the success that it was. As ring chairman, | tried to have more ring sales throughout the year. | tried to make myself available to students who wanted to order rings. I’ve tried to create more school spirit with the victory bells at Homecoming and various pins to support our athletic teams. | also risked my own personal money to see that we had a pep band at the North Carolina State Baskeiball game. Probably the thing that | am most proud of is that | have kept my door open to any students who sought advice or who had a gripe. | tried to make the office less bureaucratic and more interested in students. Len Mancini As speaker of the Legislature this year, | have initiated a system whereby a set of statute books of all legislation passed would be kept in permanent form. {it must be remembered though, unless the executive branch sets the goals of the government, the legislative branch is virtually impotent to act. They must be given something to act upon. This past year, | am sorry to say, no vision was provided by the executive branch and to a certain degree | am fed up with “milk-toast”’ executives. The speaker is in a unique position becuase he is high enough within the hierarchy of the SGA to see the inconsistencies, but not high enough to do anything about them. ——_—_$_—$—_—_—_—— What are the duties of the office you seek and how do you plan to execute them? hye . . Len Mancini The duties of the president are to set the goals at the b his administration and see to it that they get carried out. | mentioned what my goals or priorities in the first question yf this interview. Since am a bit older than most of the students on this cam (1 spent f years in the service before coming to ECU) | have great contempt tor the type of childish bickering the SGA is notorious for engaging in. | feel quite confident about implementing my plans as quickly and smoothly as possible. Also, | think the people in the administration would be more receptive to a person with my particular background. | dislike being shoved aside even by Ph.D's. Bob Whitley Of course, the president is responsible for the appointment of the various student government committees and the cabinet. {'d like to see people appointed to these positions who are interested in working and | don't want to make these appointments political or personal. Our president also represents all the students in all of the formal functions of the University. Perhaps the most important duty, and it’s probably not in the constitution, is that the president must be familiar with the students and their needs. In my platform, I've suggested regular press conferences which would give both the student and the press a chance to question the president and to find out what is going on. Also, a weekly article in the Fountainhead by the head of the student government would help bridge the communications gap that now exists. ee EE EE —— One of the largest disputes in the SGA this year has been over the power of the Publications Board. What is you view of this dispute and your opinions on solving it? Bob Whitley Well, during the campaign Ive discovered that many students have gripes concerning our publications and | definitely think we need to change the structure of our publications board. The board should consist of interested students who could look at our publications objectively. It should not include as regular voting members the editors of the publications. We've got to remember that East Carolina’s reputation outside of campus is deter mined a great deal by our publications. We need to protect our various All-American ratings but we should, at the same time, guarantee students worthwhile publications Len Mancini The problem that arose over the publications Board concerned the interpretation of its By-Laws. The speaker develops a rather intricate knowledge of such aspects of the legislative process. ! know exactly what needs to be clarified so that all concerned will be satisfied It should be remembered. accordina to the Constitution, that the Review Board has original jurisdiction in ultimately interpreting the laws However, | think the needed clarificetion concerning the Publications Board By-Laws need not reach that “‘last ditch’’ point Page 14, Fou ytainhead, March 16, 1970 Candida f r th the studen f the administration corre tht ¢ t What ts your government? ernment A ) Concerning the student apathy, what do you feel should be done to interest the students in participating in voting, etc.? Bob Whitley Throughout the y students as t government do. | tively cast their t 5s a bit overdone. Simply SGA doesn't necessarily mean he is n intramurals or some club or fraternal a University, if people can’t do Are there any changes you would propose in the SGA and what are they?

It takes the executive council to do so and that cannot be adhered to strictly because the executive council must be able to respond to the needs of the students as they arise. Areas that | think should receive special consideration are the transportation systems, publications and the expanded role of the student government John Cooper 1. Aid in reducing the prices of concert tickets 50 per cent. This, at ame time, would give the students priority on tickets. This will be the s. aving two shows on the same evening—doubling the capacity done by h of Minges Coliseum 2. Publish monthly budgets to show the students where their money will be going the following month and where it went during the past month 3. To get students to communicate with the SGA officers 4. To acquire a third transit bus to alleviate the crowded conditions 5. Any suggestions or ideas that a student may have will be presented to the officers. For example, the basketball nets on ‘the hill” are in unplayable condition, but no one in the SGA was aware of this until a few students informed me of this during my campaign. Matters of this nature can be handled quickly if only you inform the student government of the situations. What is your view of the roie of the office you seek in regards to the legislature? Steve Sharpe Having served in the legislature for three years, on oudget committees, as well as being speaker pro-tem, and also being vice-chairman of the executive budget committee, | feel | have the experience essential to the office of treasurer in his work with the legislature. The treasure should be able to maintain the respect of the legislature at all times. Jim Watts The treasurer must be able to work efficiently with the legislature. He must be able to present the views of the executive council in connection with all budgetary considerations. The treasurer must also maintain a very close working relationship with the Appropriations Committee for the purposes of expediting budgetary bills. John Cooper To be able to work together in order to get proper bills passed. Furthermore, not to go beyond my power, staying within the limits of the legislature. — What have been the major contributions you have made to your present office? Steve Sharpe : During the year, while working as a day student representative, | ave endeavored to present myself and the SGA legislature through the representative desires of the students. | have taken stands on very controversial issues, but the decisions that | reached have always been in the best interest of the students. Jim Watts As Chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the legislature this year, | feel that my major contribution has been a keen interest I7 pai that the students receive direct benefits from their activity fee el that having served in this capacity, it has given me considerable preparation in seeking the office of treasurer.

(3) To present the student's ideas to ahe SGA. (4) And to help the students help themselves. What are the duties of the office you seek and how do you plan to execute them? Steve Sharpe The duties of the treasurer, being one of the most powerful offices in the SGA, are expressed in our constitution as well as through statutory law. The duties are down in black and white, but the treasurer must be able to go through correct channels in fulfilling his obligations to all the agencies of the SGA. Jim Watts The main duty of the treasurer is the responsibility to the legislature for handling budgets for the various student organizations. If elected | hope to establish a relationship with the various organizations so that each organization can be evaluated in regard to its needs for budgeting. Only by a pleasant association with these organizations can the treasurer fulfill his duties to the maximum. John Cooper My duty will be to balance the budgets and to spend only the amount that is passed by the legislature. Also, not to write checks without the approval of the legislature. One of the largest disputes in the SGA this year has been over the power of the Publications Board. What is your view of this dispute and your opinions on solving it? Steve Sharpe There is a ‘fine line of distinction’ that lies between the powers of the legislature and Publications Board. The Publications Board is composed of experts in the field of journalism and the Board, with their expertise in journalism, should be able to make recommendations and the recommendations should stand. | feel the Publications Board should be given more power than it presently has and this power should not be revoked by other bodies. Jim Watts This dispute should be given adequate consideration by both the students and the administrative officials concerned. With the present structure of the Publications Board | think it is too large in number to operate efficiently. The duties of the Publication Board are to, let contracts, approve positions and to set salaries. Because of the nature of its duties, the Publications Board should not have voting members who serve on any of the various publications. Instead, the board should be comprised of students who are not serving in any capacity in the SGA or on the publications. In this way | feel that fairer and more balanced decisions could be made in regards to salaries and contracts. John Cooper | feel that the ‘‘Rebel,’’ being published once a quarter should be budgeted around three to four hundred dollars. Their budget should have not been cut in the middle of a quarter when Its members are depending on the sum that was promised to them in the past. A noted statesman once said, ‘There is always room for improvement. This is true of the Fountainhead. People critize it, but never offer help. The paper is vital to this university. And with the student body and the SGA h improvement. working as one we can accomplish muc What is your view of the administration in correlation with the student government? Steve Sharpe The SGA offers a means for students to voice their dissatisfaction with the administration. The main objective of the SGA should be to serve as a liason between students and the administration. Having worked three years with the administration, | feel that | could continue to work with the administration to help improve the conditions for the students. It is imperative that the SGA continue to maintain the respect that the administration now has for it Jim Watts + > } hey | have nothing but praise for the administration In the way they we worked with all facets of the SGA. They have repeatedly demonstrated an open mind and an attentive ear to our problems and our suggestions. East Carolina students aie indeed fortunate that we have an administration who is sensitive to the suggestions of the student al ooay. John Cooper | definitely feel that we need their help from time to time. We must work together to carry on our activities. Nothing can be accomplished if we work against each other. eee Concerning the student apathy, what do you feel should be done to interest the students in participating in voting, etc.? Steve Sharpe There is no easy way to decrease apathy. One person, such as the treasurer, cannot decrease apathy even at ECU. Only the students themselves can do this by taking an interest in the SGA. The SGA’s lecture series, entertainment, and even political activity have all pointed toward the high ideals of the ECU student. Only the high ideals of the students working together can alleviate this problem Jim Watts | don’t know...unless we could have go-go dancers at the polls and free beer for everyone. John Cooper Concerning voting | feel there should be public speeches given by all candidates to the entire student body. Also, a question and answer period should be set by the SGA. These two ideas would familiarize the students with the candidates. Concerning spirit, we need changes such as ECU has done in acquiring Jerry McGee as head football coach and winning teams. Also, various players that ECU has signed for the upcoming year. More scholarship money should be given for sports. The only way you climb to the top quickly is by winning. That is the way other universities did it. —————_— — Eee Are there any changes you would propose in the SGA and what are they? Steve Sharpe | have very concrete convictions about our SGA. These convictions go back as far as my freshman year. When | entered EC as a freshman, | pledged to myself that | would work for the students of EC and | have worked for the students for three years. We have a strong student government—one of the strongest and best in the nation and | feel that | \-ould become a hypocrite to not only myself, but to the students who iave placed me in positions of responsibility if | ever, for one second, ianged my convictions because of political influence. ECU’s strength is in its students and to their betterment | am dedicated. Jim Watts | have two changes in mind. First, the student legislature should set the penalties for any violation of the Honor Code or any of the laws that it enacts. The various judicial bodies and the administration should serve only in an advisory capacity in helping the legisiature to set these penalties. This is the method employed by the state government and the Federal government. Second, the treasurer should publish in the Fountainhead a monthly financial report of the SGA. This financial report should include all disbursements to the various student organizations as well as the exact amount of money received from student activity fees. This report should also give details of how and for what the student money is used. John Cooper Number one, to have a minority affairs committee. Number two, to allow upper-class women the pt ivilege of unlimited hours. Number three, more outdoor facilities, such as tennis courts and basketball courts. And to add more indoor machines such as Foos-ball Number four, to force the administration to cut the price of the vending machine merchandise. Number five, | was given the information on how an out-of-state university's SGA acquired operation of the food service.

First of all there was the encouragement by Dr. Jenkins for ECU and other colleges to make it easier for students at community colleges and technical schools to transfer to four-year institutions. Dr. Jenkins is forgetting the reason that these schools were initiated. Everyone is not equally talented and not equally suitable to study at the same jevel of education. The technical schools were designed for students to work with their hands and to develop skills that do not require intensive thought. In my opinion, the setting up of the possibility that students in these types of schools can easily transfer to institutions like ECU is cruel. A great majority of these students will ‘flunk out” because they are not suited for college level work. if they were suited, they surely would not have started out in a technical school. Also the community colleges were created to take some of the stress off the large, state-supported institutions. In encouraging these students to transfer to ECU or other colleges, this stress is being replaced instead of removed. The second recent step taken by the administration which points to this ‘‘factory system’ was the lowering of the General Education requirements. No doubt this move was made because of Carolina’s recent move to lower its General College requirements. However, there is one large difference here. Carolina has already made a name for itself--a good name, so she can afford to ease her requirements. East Carolina has also made a name for itself: one would think that it would Ehaed sitheibles PHRED... 115 FINALLY HAPPENED, I've MET THE GIRL... eax THIS (SIT...

Perhaps this is just the beginning of the lowering of standards at ECU so that all those students attending technical schools who transfer to ECU will find this university no more difficult than their previously attended institution. It would seem that ECU's administrators have lost their sense of direction. Why did they fight so vigorously for university status if they want to slide back into the ‘‘old familiar groove” of turning out degrees by assembly-line production? This current situation brings to mind the old clique: “What you are thunders so loud above your head that | cannot hear a word you say.” Ray Hinnant Dear Editor: The purpose of this letter is to give response to the recent Forum article by Yona Creech. Mrs. Creech ascertains the question, can | at twenty years of age, a college student, denounce my generation for their imbecilic reactions to life? | reply with an explicit, no! No one, much less a twenty year old, college student has the right to denounce a generation. Perhaps Mrs. Creech would consider retracting the obvious introductory appeal to emotions. Even disregarding the initial emotionalism of the letter, the remainder is lacking in critical thought. Mrs. Creech appears to be in despair when she states that reality must be fought with reality. By this does she mean that bullets must be fought with bullets? Or Mrs. Creech, do you consider’ men to have reached the state where rational appeal no longer has EVER WANTED... SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, SO UNDERSTANDING, SO... So PERFECT. SHE'S EVERYTHING L'VE a Fountainhead, March 16, 1970, Page 19 “WELL... IT LOOKS AS IF WE'VE WST ABOUT any practical effect upon his waring brethren? Mrs. Creech appears to be harshly critical of this generation’s emotionalism and idealism. But perhaps she forgets that this country had its philosophic beginnings in the dreams of a few idealistic thinkers. Mrs. Creech, | hope to convey to you that idealism has a degree of reality in itself. lt is the dream or vision that exists in the minds of men before the goal comes into being. Perhaps | can better clarify my point by example. The aritst has a very real image in his mind as to what he would like to portray on canvas. This image then takes the form of empirical reality in his final product. In conclusion, Mrs. Creech appears to be severely critical of this nations draft-aged men, and their seemingly indifferent attitudes towards giving militaristic support for ‘‘the system.’’ Well | ask Mrs. Creech, just what is sacred; the system or men’s lives? A system is an inorganic, inanimate abstraction of [occ RALPH, UNLESS THERE ARE Two EMILY RITTERS...

Gary Blackwelder Dear Editor: Like afew hundred other students | was enticed by the misleading title: ‘Witchcraft, ‘Voodoo,’ and Cannibalism in Africa,’’ to a substandard lecture. What a disap- pointment. | felt like the music lover who goes to hear a famous opera performance and gets soap-opera instead. The lecturer had three or four simple ideas, but he buried them under an avalanche of words which confused rather than clarified his vague subject. It took him forty minutes of rumbling to put across those elementary statements, which could have been adaquately expressed in ten. His foreign accent and poor vocabulary could have been easily overlooked by a sympathetic college audience, had he had something substantial to say. Except for one remark about his broadminded approach to the PUSHED OUR ENVIRONMENT color problem, he had not. The intellectual level was geared to the average junior highschool student, who still enjoys storytelling hours. His humor, save a few tiny sparkles was anemic. He elaborated at great length on a hunt in which he boldly faced and killed a lion with a single spear. Do you believe it? | certainly do! If he has the courage to stand up before a university audience and to deliver such a talk he probably could scare a lion away with witchcraft or incantation, provided he had at least a hazy idea of how to go about performing it. By the way, this seems to me a fairly easy way to make money. Following his example ! am planning a lecture tour of colleges. The title of my first discourse will be: ‘“The Giant Dwarfs, or New Evidence for The Existence of Lapidoptera Beyond the Universe.” My only problem is with which Institute to start.
