CURTAIN DROPS Last year we were disappointed. Last summer we were not able to raise the curtain On our sixth year. What happened? Some of our friends and we ourselves took the theater for granted. Some people assumed that their season ticket was not needed that year. Faced with production costs and decreasing revenue, our producer felt he could not safely bring in the season. Although we did not operate last year, we were not defeated. The theatre staff carefully explored its operation to find ways to improve and to sustain its productions. An appeal was made to the legislature for supplemental funds to help absorb rising costs with out increasing the ticket prices for our patrons. ever-increasing RECOGNITION The recognition of our, theatre by the legislature's favorable reaction to our! request for funds again reveals its importance to the whole state.

The WRC has three main purposes. One Is to bring about 4 more unified and co-operative relationship among women students. Working closely with the dean of women and cther advisors. the WRC strives to Mallory is championship years, he coached SIX championship teams In 1957. Mallory became Dean of Men The highlight of his career as eoach came in 1961 His ECC Pirates won the NAIA. national championship. Canute eG Vcly award presented, cluding the ane Award. The team boasted three All Americans and the Most Valuable Player of the Yea That same yeal Mallory Will Winne Award was presented to the outstanding baseball from recieved the This award him as contributor to North Carolina weekend, that “barring major roadblocks. we should be able to se our first class of medical students in September NOFA “I urge you to keep in mind that despite the agitation of a few, all of us can be proud of the support a vast majority of our students have given in helping provide a climate at East Carolina which is conducive to the pursuit of an education.” GROUNDWORK In laying groundwork for doctoral programs, the University policy of “open COMpetition I higher education” was adhered to, Jenkins said. All schools and departments confident of readiness were invited to join an “internal competition” to offer the first doctorates. Twelve disciplines elected to prepare eight proposals for PhD’s and four doctorates in professional fields. “By next Fall. we hope to have selected the very best from this group for trustee consideration,” he said. MEDICAL SCHOOL The 1969 General Assembly also appropriated funds for planning and developing a two-year medical school at ECU. Jenkins said experts and consultants “agree that our concepts of a two-year school are sound and feasible.” ECU already has recruited several renouned basic medical scientists. he said. A third major academic step has been development of the improve campus life for women The WRC also strives to promote a high standard of conduct for the women. A third purpose is to Insure uniform interpretation and enforcement of women’s rules. The WRC has been active this year in changing the women’s rules. It has done away with most of the outdated rules which were hindrances The most significant change coach In 1962, Mallory retired as head coach to become Dean of Men full time Mallory is. still active in baseball. Every summer coaches for two weeks at the Ted Kluszwski Baseball Camp at Baimbridge, Ohio In 1963. he wrote “Basebal Fundamentals” aimed at the college player. Last spring he wrote B: iseball Fundamentals for Teenage Players.” Both books are widely used Every spring Mallory helps with the baseball workeouts at EC Why did he give up baseball? “| wanted to work with all the men at ECU.” Mallory said ECU Allied Health 1 Medic School programs whic he said ‘are moving along in a sound deliberate and yet meaningful manner A new building t house the School of Allied Health and Social Professions should be completed in 15 months JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD Jenkins also disclosed that ECU is working toward establishing a junior-year-abroad program. He cited this as “our most dramatic move in the field of international education.” Under the proposal, ECl students would complete the equivalent of an academic year in Bonn, Germany, where the University hopes to secure a renovated chateau on the banks of the Rhine River and library resources of the University of Bonn “We feel sure the program will grow and prosper, and we already have expansion plans which include the lease of a conveniently located small resort hotel in Bonn to be available in 1973 and _ the possible use of an already existing language laboratory center just an eight minute ferry ride across the Rhine River.” Feature story Ira L. Baker, assistant professor of Journalism and English, is the author of a feature story in the current issue of Editor and Publisher, nationally known trade journal of the newspaper industry swomen’'srules was doing away with signing out on dates Beginning next fall, girls must only sign out when they are spending the night out of the dorm Another important change was the curfew change to later hours. For freshmen. curfew changed from 11 to 11:30 p.m on Monday through Thursday from 12:30 to 1 a.m. on Firday and Saturday; and from 12 to 1 am. on Sunday For upperclassmen, curlew changed from 11:30 to 12:30 on Monday through Thursday 2 on Firday 1 12 to | from Saturday; < on Sunday In addition to changing the rules. the WRC set up an office in Green dorm where the chairman holds regular hours open to women students The WRC also awards the Ruth H.

Grant Range, former station business manager and a senior from Burlington, worked most of the year with a sales staff that often dwindled to disappointing levels, but managed to bring WECU through its most profitable year. SELLING FORMULA WECU’s selling formula is nothing special according to Range, “We have a good sound and a lot of listeners, so naturally the merchants want to buy commercials from us.” “Our copy and production departments have a way with commercials.” Range added “When we do a spot it not only sells the product but the students like it as well.” Range is serving as station manager of WECU this year Concerning his new position, Range said, “It’s going to be a real challenge to see if we can equal or surpass all the records we set for ourselves this year. I think we can do this by showing the advertiser that WECU reaches more students than any other radio station.” PUBLIC SERVICE The job of co-ordinating the public service effort falls on program director Jim Davis. Davis gathers the data for the public service promotions and then approves their production, as well as all commercial production. Davis, who got his start in radio at WECU, said, * Those are the two main objectives of WECU: to give the ECU student with an interest in radio a chance to get the practical ECU fills campus airways knowledge that it would be impossible to obtain any other way, and to give the ECU dorm student good, listenable radio.” GROWTH Jim Hicks is serving as radio business manager. He stated, “I would like to see us grow as much next year as we have this year, both financially and artistically.” Hicks. a sociology major. has done much to help the morale of this year’s staff, and often serves as a “Dear Abby” to the 57 FUNTIMERS. Chances are if you asked any of the 57 FUNTIMERS what they thought WECU was, you'd get a different answer from each of them. But they, along with the majority of the dorm students at ECU would probably agree that “The Big 57°° is a good sounding. professionally operated and contemporary radio station. CLOSED And as the experts will tell you, in a city the size of Greenville, you don't find more than one radio station that fits that description. WECU has closed up shop for the summer in order to put a new face on the control and production rooms. In addition to the new paneling, a new control board is being installed. With the new board “WECU should have a much fuller sound, as well as the ability to add more variety to the programs,” says Grant Range. Next Fall WECU will return to the air 24 hours a day “with more music more often.” i. Orientation Issue, Fountainhead, Page 9 Rebel receives third All- American rating Continued from page 16 distributed to all incoming freshmen during the orientation periods during the summer The Key includes short descriptions of all campus services, Organizations, departments, activities, and regulations. A long section on the Student Government Association, the governing body of the students by the students, provides facts for all students interested in that aspect of campus life. All students should read and understand that section in particular. The judicial system, a part of the SGA. is also c overed, for the major part of the discipline on campus is handled by the students’ own courts. The Buccanneer is the student yearbook, issued in the spring. This year the books were held up in printing and thus could not get to the students on time, but will be distributed during the summer and next fall. BUCCANNEER The Buccanneer attempts to capture the most enchanting moments of the year and seal them in a book that will provide a remembrance in the future. It is thus a memory book as well as a valuable historical work for the school. Staff membership, here as in all student publications, is open to all interested students, no prior experience is required. Paid positions are available. The Buccanneer office is on the third floor of Wright building. The Rebel is the student literary magazine. It provides the student body with an outlet for creativeness, whether in poetry, prose, art photography, or whatever field one may be interested in. Under the current editorship of Rod Ketner, the Rebel this spring won its third All-American rating among college and university literary magazines REBEL The Rebel is published once a quarter, with an occasional supplement, such as last : satirical supplement. It too, is staffed entirely by students. The work of the student publications should be faciliated somewhat during the next year when the Department of English will be able to offer a number of new journalism courses which will supplement the number of such courses that were available to students. Every aspect of campus publication, whether layout, ad markup, writing, editing, design, or typing, will be covered by one or another of the journalism courses. Interested students should look into this field when they come to ECU. The campus publications need student help in order to provide their services to the students.

The popularity of the Union and Union activities is positive proof that the Union Staff works hard and well. The physical facilities they and Faculty Senate approves of student membership By WAYNE EADS Student membership academic committees is an issue on currently being considered by the many universities across nation. The Committee on Committees of the Faculty Senate. in a program on the analysis and development of the structure of the Senate, proposed last year that students be placed on academic committees of that body. This move was a basic step in allowing students more representation in the governance of their own university and of their own activities in the academic community. QUESTION The members otf the studied the Committee question: Will of students in this phase of make for the the participation academic governance education more relevant individual student and enhance the overall educational program of the university? In their report to the Faculty the Committee showed Senate had consisted of a their study twofold approach A coestionnaire was sent to a number of universities asking for information relating to this matter. This was an effort to get a national consensus: Local feeling was sampled through an open hearing on the matter The questionnaire was sent to 85 schools in the United States More than three-fourths of the fifty-nine replies received stated that students were allowed to be members on some academic committees. REPORT According to the report, “Qualifications for students to serve on academic committees varied, but the trend was toward the requirements that a student be a full-time undergraduate or an upperclassman. At most o! the institutions, students were selected for service on academic committees through the independent action of the students, but about one school in five indicated that the selection would be subject to the approval of the administration...” Eleven written statements were received by the committee. Ten of these were from faculty members and the other was from the SGA. All of these statements were favore le to the proposition of student participation To quote excerpts from the report: “I believe that such a policy (student participation on Continued on page 14 Student Union provides variety of activities A Orientation Issue, Fountainhead, Page Il have to work with, however. are the unions of other schools the far from adequate.

They want the degree or the 2-S and play the game. If their egos are strong enough, they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They’re unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. They spend their nights mechanically outlining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what's in them. LAST JUDGEMENT The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have so throughly introjected their masters’ values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State, these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and shake when they speak to a professor. who go through anemotional crisis every time they’re called on in class. You can recognize them easily at finals time. Their faces are festooned with fresh pimples: their bowels boil audibly across the room. If there really was a Last Judgement, the parents and teachers who created these wrecks would burn in hell. So students are niggers. It’s time to find out why. and to do this, we have to take a long look at Mr. Charlie The teachers | know best are college a group, their most striking characteristic 1s timidity.

And in more recent years, I found that my being arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues not so much approval or condemnation as open-mouthed astonishment. “You could lose your job!” Now of course there’s the Vietnamese war. It gets some opposition from a few teachers. Some support it. But a vast number of professors who know perfectly well what’s happening are copping out again. And in the high schools, you can forget It. Stillness reigns. I’m not sure why teachers are so chickenshit. It could be that academic training itself forces a split between thought and action. It might also be that the tenured security of a teaching job attracts timid persons and, further more, that teaching, like police work, pulls in persons who are unsure of themselves and need weapons and other external trappings of authority EXERCISE POWER t on balls.

What can protect you from their ridicule and scorn? Respect for Authority. That’s what. It’s the policeman’s gun again. The white bwana’s pith helmet. So you flaunt your authority. You wither whisperers with a murderous glance. You crush objectors with erudition and heavy irony. And worst of all, you make your own attainments seem not accessibie but awesomely remote. You conceal your massive ignorance and parade a slender learning ; You might also want to keep in mind that he was 4 nigger once himself and has never really gotten over it. And there are more causes, some of which are better described in sociological than psychological terms. Work them out, it’s not hard. But in the meantime, what we've got on our hands is a whole lot of niggers. And what makes this particularly grim is that the student has less chance than the black man of getting out of his bag. Because the student doesn’t even know he’s in it. That, more or less, is what’s happening in higher education. And the results are staggering. For one thing damn little education takes place in the schools. How could it? You can’t educate slaves: you can only train them. Or to use an even uglier word, you can only program them TRICKY TO FIGHT Educational oppression is trickier to fight than racial oppression If you’re a black rebel, they can’t exile you: they either have to intimidate you or kill you. But in high school or college, they can just bounce you out of the field. And they do. Rebel students and renegade faculty members get smotheied or shot down with devastating accuracy. In high school, it’s usually the student who gets it; in college, it’s more often the teacher. Others get tired of fighting and voluntarily leave the system. This may be a mistake though. Copping out of college, for a rebel, is a little like going North, fora Negro. You can’t really get away from it so you might as well stay and raise hell How do you raise hell? That’s a whole other article. But just for a start, why not stay with the analogy? What have black people done? They have, first of all. faced the fact of their slavery. They’ve stopped kidding themselves about an eventual reward in the Great Watermelon Patch in the Sky. They've organized, they've decided to get freedom now, and they've started taking it IMMENSE POWER Students, like black people, have immense power. They could, theoretically, insist on participating in their own education! They could make academic freedom bilateral They could teach their teachers to thrive on love and admiration, rather than fear and respect. and to lay down their weapons Students could discover community. And they could learn to dance on the IBM cards. They could make coloring books out ot the catalogues. and they could put the grading system in a museum. They could raze one set of walls after another and let life come blowing into the classroom. They could raze another set of walls and let education come blowing out and flood the streets. They could turn the classroom into where it’s at a “field of action” as Peter Marin describes it. And believe it or not. they could study eagerly and learn prodigiously for the best of all possible reasons — their own reasons. They could. Theoretically. They have the power. But only in a very few places, like Berkeley, have they even begun to think about using it.

Walk into any record shop with vague notions of buying one or two random albums and you are confronted by hundreds of flashy or freaky or arty album covers. INITIAL REACTION The initial reaction is to buy not by virtue of the music hidden between the cardboard flaps but to buy an album because, well. the cover is great and therefore the music must be. So you get burned a couple of times and come to the conclusion that pretty cardboard squares and mediocre talents are not worth five dollars a throw. There is, happily, some good music hidden between some of the cover hypes. This column is an attempt toseparatesome of the good from the bad. It will try to stay away from the well known. We all know who John Lennon is. We all know the Beatles released records in plain white covers ARTISTS This column will attempt to give you some idea of the more interesting lesser-known recording artists, what might interest you and what isn't worth it Reviewing albums is a highly arbitrary business Personal opinion has a tendency to run rampant. An attempt will be made here to give you a frame of reference for making your decisions according to your particular musical tastes.

You'll be doing your patriotic part in the fight against inflation. The President would be proud NO PRETENTION It always seemed to me that one of the most appealing aspects of rock was its lack of pretention. At its best. rock is honest music played with a great deal of intensity. With the broadening of the so-called revolution, too many new groups cropped up intent on taking themselves seriously without first paying dues by working their random jam sessions into tight musical segments. Too many albums dissipate into 20-minute renditions of two minute songs, with much of the 18 excess Minutes taken up by meaningless drum solos and guitar improvisations. Technical ability and speedy fingers do not necessarily make good music Hard Meat is a trio with considerable technical ability, which is more than can be said for whoever designed — their album cover, which is a poor silver and black imitation of Peter Max doodles HARD MEAT Hard Meat seems to want to impress listeners by the fact that they can play their instruments If the melodies and lyrics on this album are for the most part forgetable, their instrumental work on electric and acoustic guitar, bass and percussion is fast. furious and generally impressive. If you stay up nights to hear Ten Years After and Santana, you'll loose sleep over Hard Meat Thundertree is, for want of a better term, rock mood music dangerously close to supermarket music. The band seems to be over impressed by the more melodramatic electric and mechanical devices available to them in the studio. RAD VOCALS The vocals are overdubbed, echoed, harmonious and sweet. The instrumental work all seems to have run through an echo chamber too. Extensive use is made of wah-wah and fuzz guitar. Heavy? Not at all. The surprising thing is that the over-production, the use of freak-out electric devices and echoes all add up to relatively relaxing. pretty sounds. Perhaps there is a pertinent reason why the grey-suited figure on the album’s cover has a featureless head and is growing tree roots. MOTT THE HOOPLE 1 personally find Mott the Hoople a good album. An unusual name, an unusual cover. alligator-dragon type creatures crawling over a table of books and glasses. Mott does not shy away from other peoples’ material. The album starts out with an instrumental version of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.” Mott’s rendition is loud nasty and joyous. Sonny and Cher’s old teeny bop chestnut “Laugh at Me” is also redone on this album with considerably Cardboard Flaps less self consciousness than the original and considerably more musical skill he original material on this album is reminiscent of Bob Dylan as we knew him during Highway 61. If you miss the old Dylan youll probably — enjoy this. Mott pays tribute to their predecessors and play their music with skill and a real sense of purpose and togetherness By JIM TEAL Earth Island, We Must Survive, Philips, PHS 600-340 The recent concern about the earth's environment has undoubtedly given rise to a new crop of protest groups in the musical world. One of the first of these is Earth Island a group who has capitalized on the movement with an album call We Must Survive. Though Earth Island has good intentions. their album is somewhat lacking in originality and talent. Their topics are oversimplified and in many cases merely cliched statements put to music. lhe lyrics. written mostly by Bill Liska, never quite capture the emotional appeal at which they are intended. With song titles such as “Doomsday Afternoon,” and ‘Ashes, Ashes All Fall Down,” Earth Island resorts to stock phraseology usually found in newspaper editorial columns, or amateurish poetry It is not the intent of this review to belittle the efforts of Earth Island in exploiting the ecology movement; however, the overall effect of the album is lost in its understatements and hackneyed lyrics. EARTH ISLAND All too often a talented group, such as Earth Island, tries so diligently to achieve its goal that it overshoots the primary objective and loses its effectiveness. The problem of environmental pollution is a serious one, to say the least; and future musical groups will certainly attempt to expose its aspects. “Save our World, We Must Survice’ projects the traditional view of today’s ecologists. Earth Island has given the musical arts an example, though a poor one, and it now lies in the talents of contemporary musicans to further the Earth THE FINEST FOUU AT THE LOWEST PRICES Bohemian 208 E. bth.

At last someone has Lightman’s nev found the relation of sound and sense with the ultimate result being a truly unique display of talent and origianlity Lightman’s album has only his name on the cover. and no traditional title appears anywher on the album. After listening to the finished product, I find the absence of formal _ titling becomes obvious. No simple words could adequately convey the feeling and mood created by Lightman’s genius OVERALL SCORE The overall score combines the qualities from past present and future musical artistry; in whirpool mixture of orchestrations, contemporary musical tradition Lightman composed both the score and lyrics of the album. The modern poetical lyrics never revert to the trite messages and themes of average modern songwriters. Above all, Lightman is able to achieve a relevance to the listener at all times. MESSAGE The general message if it can be pinpointed is a somewhat pessimistic view of lite in tie modem institutionalized world. The world seems to be destroying itself as Lightman sings: “Mother nature has given unlimited beauty, Just see what we've done with all that.” Lightman urges the listener to be content and enjoy the simple things of life, “a rainy afternoon,’ ‘a Monday morning,” or just “the grass between your toes.” However, Lightman seems to have been dissappointed in his quest for he simple easu He seek hange his lif i a ‘where h 4 Is truth always beauty ind love alway truth? becomes his final Jisillusioned question.

This plan, in use at most of the larger and most of the Universities known for their excellent student governments, was instituted last summer and completed last year The idea of the newer, more efficient government was first suggested during last summer by the SGA. officials. After studying the student governments of those schools which had such a plan in action, the summer school legislature decided to abolish itself as the first. major step. This would make it a certainty that the plan would go into effect by this summer. RESULT The SGA then studied the problem again, beginning with fall quarter, 1969. The result of that effort was that the SGA now has a_ continuous administration for twelve months, including one full regular school year and the following summer - session. Officials are elected in the spring of each year. The budget one of the largest in the nation for any student government. second only to the University of Louisiana, is worked on a six-month basis, with the summer appropriations made in the spring before the legislature adjourns for the year. There is no legislature in the summer. SUMMER SGA Summer SGA is handled by three officials: the President, the Vice-president, and the Treasurer. This year’s officers are Bob Whitley, Phil Dixon, and Steve Sharpe, respectively. They maintain offices on the third floor of Wright Annex, with a full-time secretary who can direct the student to them when they are out. For the benefit of those freshmen students and transfer students, as well as those who are simply returning after a long absence, the organization of the SGA is similar to that of the United States government but on a smaller scale and modified to fit the needs of a university. EXECUTIVE BRANCH The executive branch of the ECU student government consists of a president, a vice-president a secretary, 4 treasurer and a_ historian. Qualifications for these offices can be found in the 1970-71 edition of The Key, annual campus publication. The present executive officers are: president Bob Whitley; vice-president, Phil Dixon: secretary, Pam Myers treasurer Steve Sharpe and historian, Mary Edwards The second branch of the SGA is the legislative Th 4 ore Lay ‘ / ° $ 4 5 SGA OFFICERS FOR 1970-71 are (left to right): Mary Edwards. Historian; Steve Sharpe, Treasurer; Bob Whitley, President; Phil Dixon, Vice-president; and Pam Myers, Secretary. representatives elected by the student body to serve in the Legislature Forty-one representatives are elected to that body. The Legislature is the main policy-making part of the SGA. It has power over matters concerning appropriations for campus publications, SGA agencies, salaries of SGA officers, and other expenses that the Legislature deems in the interest of the student body and the academic community. OTHER POWERS The Legislature also has power to override presidential vetoes, to approve or reject presidential appointments, to make laws for the governing of the student body, and to make other laws that it deems in the interest of promoting the general welfare of the student body. The third branch of the SGA is the judicial. This branch consists of a number of courts ranging from the Men’s and Women’s Residence Councils at the bottom of the jurisdictional ladder to the Review Board at the top of the system Appeals can be made from one court to a higher court These courts are made up predominately of students. The judges of courts are appointed by the SGA President with the approval of the Legislature. TRAFFIC COUNCIL A recent innovation in the student court system was the Traffic Council. consisting of three students who hear cases involving violations of the car rule, moving violations of all kinds, and all appeals from the parking and other fines involved with transportation.

Wherever we play, the Pirates make it known that we have come to fight The biggest new “thing” in Pirate land is the new look of our football program. Although last year was one of the worst, record-wise, for East Carolina football, the squad is in the midst of a giant building program under new head coach Mike McGee and an entirely new staff. SINGLE WING GONE Last year saw the final use of the ancient single wing at East Carolina. Under Clarence Stasavich, now Director of Athletics, this strategy was effective. Now. however, with teams scoring 40 or 50 points a game regularly, it’s time to change our strategy So we have instituted a new pro-set offense. If an optimistic attitude is the Key to success then look out for Pirate football in the coming years. To be a powerhouse, you must recruit and so far McGee has gotten such players as Carlester Crumpler.

The seniority system rewards those who survive, whether they be able or incompetent dedicated or lazy, beloved or despised. If a congressman can live long enough, win all his elections and belong to the majority party, he can be sure of eventually becoming 4 committee chairman and exercising significant power in the House. In the 91st Congress, for example, the average age of a committee chairman is 70. Three chairmen are in their 80s, seven in their 70s, eight in their 60s. Only three are under 60. A century ago, before the seniority system was so rigidly observed, the average chairman was in his 40s. Thus. while the trend in American business is toward earlier retirement. while a majority of the population now is 25 or younger, the House increasingly puts a premium on age. The prime beneficiaries of the system, of course, have been Southern Democrats from one-party districts. Assured of re-election, they have dominated the Congress during most of this century, using their power to assert the conservative regional viewpoint and often to thwart the national Democratic party’s programs. The current attack on the seniority system by a group of Democratic liberals (mostly young) 1s aimed at unseating the Southern barons. It was a minor victory for the young turks last week when the House Democratic caucus agreed to conduct a study of the system. But it is highly unlikely that the study itself, scheduled for completion in January, will lead to any important changes. Knowing this, some of the young rebels are threatening to vote with the Republicans next January in organizing the House rather than go along with the system for another session. By making a deal with the Republicans for control of House leadership posts, the Democratic liberals could unseat the Speaker and all their party's committee chairmen, many of them Southerners. The odds are that this will not happen. But if the rebellion continues to draw support, the pressure may lead to some modification of the system. At the least, older members are going to be forced to re-examine the custom of seniority It is just that a custom. The system is not part of the law or of the House rules. The Speaker appointed committee chairmen until 1910, when the House revolted against the authoritarian leadership of Joe Cannon of Hlinois and assigned a committee on committees to do the job But from 1910 to 1946, even the committee did not make its selections solely on seniority. It often violated the custom, but usually compensated the offended member by making him chairman of another committee. Rigid adherence to seniority did not begin until 1946, when the number of committees was reduced from 48 to 19, leaving less flexibility in the assignment of chairmen. Committee members and chairmen are now chosen by the Democratic members of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, sitting as the Committee on Committees. The Democratic caucus has the power to overrule the committee’s selections, but never does. Adherents of the seniority method make some strong arguments for it. They say the system creates stability in the House by assuring experienced chairmen and by avoiding internal competition for leadership. Congressmen can concentrate on their work it is argued, when not fighting over chairmanships. Another advantage is that chairmen elevated by seniority are independent of their party leaders and of the White House. Under another system, it is contended, a President might work to unseat chairmen of his party who did not support his program. Also, the seniority rule makes it impossible for special interest groups to lobby for election of a chairman friendly to their cause. But the arguments of those who oppose the system have equal logic. The system rewards mediocrity (or even incompetency ). arty from. carrying out its platform prevents a national majority p men during their most promises, and holds down younger productive years By favoring older men from one-party districts and from big-city machine districts, the system also can produce leadership that is not necessarily responsive to national problems or to the national will. What can be done about it? The reform forces gaining support every considered pushing for one of several possible modifications The Speaker might again be allowed to appoint the chairmen, subject to the veto ol the majority caucus. Or the committees could yeat have WASHINGTON elect their own chairmen. Or the majority caucus might elect them Under any system. some of the positive values of seniority could be retained by letting the Speaker or the committee choose from the three most senior members. Some congressmen also have proposed that age limits be set for chairmen, that a chairman’s tenure be limited, or that the chairmanship be rotated every two years among the committee’s three or four senior members. Whatever happens and don’t expect any major change to come soon the pressure for reform is certain to intensify. Even Southerners may not favor the system much longer, because there are fewer “safe’’ districts in Dixie every yee Tough habit SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) Giving up cigarettes “can be tougher than giving up narcotics.” says the president of an organization that helps drug addicts kick the dope habit. So the group has outlawed cigarettes Jack Hurst. president of the Synanon Foundation, said Friday the organization no longer will distribute $200.000 worth of cigarettes each year to help members give up drugs “It was kind of goofy,” said Hurst. “Cigarettes represent money, and we were spending about $200,000 a year on them.’ not in line with higher schools By ROGER WOOD Instructor of Art Spring is the time to re-evaluate ore’s purposes and to decide on future courses of action. It is particularly so for me as | will be leaving this institution shortly and will be teaching in a different type of college in a different part of the country. Therefore, these reflections bear not only on my teaching at this University, but also on the goals and purposes of the University as a whole. LACK OF SYMPATHY What particularly struck me during my stay at ECU was the lack of sympathy for the individual and the almost total disregard of individual students’s needs and goals displayed by both faculty and administration. Coming from northern liberal universities, I felt this lack is particularly apparant It seems that as one goes southward in this large country, the concern for the individual lessens. Most of my remarks will deal with the causes and reasons for this lack of concern for the individual student. EXPANSION Most of the talk on the part of the administration (see the President’s Report) and the faculty concerns Ways 1n which ECU can be made larger, can build more buildings and classrooms, and can improve the physical facilities. This is highlighted by the tremendous power enjoyed by those officers of the University charged with mainiaining and improving the physical plant and with business matters Literally, they have final say on almost every aspect which concerns the classroom, except perhaps problems relating to course content course changes. and the actual day-to-day teaching. This is negatively shown in the lack of teaching responsibility given to the individual instructor, associate and assistant professor. Teac hers hia , . on these levels are basically treated like graduate assistants at a normal Northern University. The question arises: what is the reason for this problem at such a peaceful, conservative, rural university, with few of the problems and headaches of more metropolitan institutions? | believe that part of the answer involves the President's goals vis-a-vis the development of the University, and part the lack of vocalism and concern displayed by students and faculty in relation to classroom problems CREDIT GIVEN In the President’s Report, the tremendous expansion and transformation of ECTC into ECU is highlighted, and rightfully so. Most of the credit is given to President Jenkins. Starting from a small rural Teacher's College just a few years ago, we now have one of the largest Universities in the state. This transformation has been well-planned and methodically approached. In the process of this transformation. the student population and faculty size have been increased many fold. One of the reasons for this expansion was highlighted in a recent report In this paper. explaining that as the enrollment at ECU exceeds 10.000 students this institution will be able to request (and no doubt receive) more money both state and federal, for improvements and for construction of much needed classroom space. Hopefully, there will be adequate student enrollment next year to qualify for this money, and to place ECU physically in the top part of North Carolina’s University system HARD PRICE What this expansion — has meant for the average student at this University is a different matter. Generally, it has meant increased classroom size more eet iduate students (though some graduate students are among the best and most concerned teachers at ECU), and less attention to their individual needs This is a hard price to have to pay for simply increasing the physical size and obtaining more funds, as most students will attest. Also. this expansion necessitates less stringent requirements, and relaxed professional goals COMMON KNOWLEDGE It is common knowledge among students and faculty familiar with both N. C. State and Chapel Hill that requirements and professional goals at these two fine institutions far exceed those at this institution. Ho weyvet, requirements are ultimately the price one must pay for increased size. Deans and Department Heads generally have a difficult time in limiting their schools or departments to weildy sizes Also, with this situation, It Is difficult to both attract and hold excellent teachers because good teachers prefer to teach only good students, and want to have real classroom responsibility in all aspects of the teaching situation Good teachers also generally respect and solicit individualism in students, and when students felaxcd are not permitted or encouraged to express their creative energies (constructive ones, that is) good teachers become frustrated and look elsewhere for more stimulating environments REAL INTEREST After all what else could there be of interest in Eastern North Carolina but a concerned, vital. individualistic student pody, able and willing to be creative and dynamic? The only other thing of any real interest in this part of the country 1s the ocean, so no wonder so many students spend so much time there instead of in classes or working on class assignments yntinued on page 22 Fr 24 t vead, Orient Iss Students must learn to teach themselves Now is. the sott nsu ffic i¢ struct 1 ya ) SS ) { i % t k \ eSsi this s At prese NI , FF i s niversity 1ame . t G } h vid epa nts are k | 1 ev pec ind Wha Ime thes be stre } eda rt matters Sig t vo spec ts ECU wil We nl e iS al sity V ve rstullec | ‘ both | and will = Ad Faculty } ds nor p 6 st be y affect the w ives \ inits \ I if PROFESSIONALISM sphere conducive to c not merely jar ind St wed t ; ' NEEDS € Students need more time than is present in the quarter I S iching is system, need better equipment y the act of processing to pursue their research, need t fewer restrictions n their s the t ] I x se of creative classroom as hal A c 2S 1 need g \ ssional 1 which , W and learn and Right now sut t I hopefully discover ssed through a cours t A real education opens the e S f all concerned. faculty ssibie (malt due as well as students: but how k the quarter nany of us are truly pen-minded? married student fun the Presbyterian with other friends — plus all the \ for ECU at 401 th St., will be the cold watermelon anyone could scene of a desire.
