Paderewski is supposed to have said musical ability may require some talent. but it’s nine tenths hard work and sometimes requires practicing 18 hours a day. HARD WORK McCracken kept no record of his long hours of practice but says “it’s been a matter of working very hard.” He adds, ‘I’ve been playing in competitions ever since I began.” His list of activities. awards and honors is lengthy. A few of them include winning an East Carolina Merit Scholarship, 1966-70, performing the Khachaturian Concerto with the Charleston, S.C..

In 1966 he was valedictorian of his high school graduating class Last January he began study with Byron Janis of New York. This study will continue through the summer In addition to his practice, McCracken expects to spend some of the summer “brushing up” on Italian before leaving for Rome in August In Italy he will study at the Conservatory of St. Cecilia and be taught by several noted concert pianists including Guido ‘gosti. He contemplates a number of possible piano competitions in Europe. The Fulbright-Hays study awards under government sponsorship are reciprocal agreement for study abroad with other governments.

Fountainhead, Page Agnew criticizes Rhodes By HUGH MORGAN Associated Press Writer DE TROM (Ar) Vice President opiro 1 Agnew criticized a young member of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest last week and said if remarks attributed to Joseph Rhodes Jr. are accurate he should resign Rhodes, 22. a junior fellow at Harvard University was appointed Saturday by President Nixon to serve on the commission headed by former Republican Gov. William W Scranton of Pennsylvania PROVOKED VIOLENCE In an interview published Monday. the New York Times quoted Rhodes as saying the Nixon administration has provoked campus violence. “The kids have got to feel someone has the power to really investigate the grave charges being brought against the government.” Commenting on the interview at a news conference, Agnew said: “Rhodes lost no time in letting the public know how he intends to utilize his new post to lift him from obscurity of an unpublicized position to national notoriety.” Agnew emphasized his remarks about Rhodes should not be interpreted as an implied criticism of the President. He also. emphasized that his criticism of Rhodes was based on what he had read in the newspaper. “Rhodes showed a transparent bias that w ill make him counterproductive to the Mrs. Dodd started first Father's Day By RICHARD ZAHLER Associated Press Writer SPOKANE, Wash.

SANDERS’ RECIPE Kentucky Fried Chicken =, il fnget likin good By ROB GRINGLE There is a disturbing tendency among listeners to over classify music, to hang labels on certain types of music : Mention soul music. for instance, and most people at ECU think of top 40 radio and relatively straight, clean-cut people doing the bop while drinking beer Mention underground rock, and most people think of FM radio, record reviewers and long hair, incense. candles and pot. The value of music, as music, is lost along the way People, for instance, who really dig Janis Joplin don’t listen to Aretha Franklin, and vice versa. Music is the closest thing to a universal language we have, and should be judged as music first. The labels and classification of music should act as a clarification, not a standard for judgment ACAPPELA Now the Persuasions are. first and foremost, five talented singers who've been around for awhile. “Acappela” (Straight RS6394) is the name of their album. It means, basically, sung without instrumental accompaniment. (If you can’t afford instruments, you had better be satisfied with your voice or start looking for another line of work.) Maybe you'll get together with some others and start sounding real soulful. Maybe the Man will “discover” you some day and offer you a recording contract. Maybe you accept. Maybe in the studio the Man will say hey-that’s outasight but if you want to make it big we gotta clean up your material a little bit. Add a little brass and a violin here and there. So you cut a record and after all the processing and additions it sounds like a hundred other songs, and not much like you anymore at all The Persuasions never made it this way. Frank Zappa offered them a record contract. and Frank Zappa isn’t the Man. One thing he promised the Persuasions was total artistic freedom. The result is a fine example of acappela on record NO INTRUSIONS The Persuasions sing soul music their way with no intrusions from slick record producers or weary studio instrumentalists. Perhaps the most successful cut on this album is, surprisingly enough, “Old Man River” recorded live with an audience of enthusiastic brothers and sisters. Th s old show tune gives one of the finest bass singers anywhere, James Hayes. a chance to solo. The Other songs are almost as hackneyed and familiar as “Old Man River.’ but they deserve your attention. These soulfu renditions of old songs are in many ways essential to an understanding of the true talent that lies beneath the quagmire of other soul groups who are commercially-hyped, over-produced anc shamelessly white-washed.

Unfortunately, the majority of people interviewed declined permission to use their names. Despite this unexpected development, there were several worthwhile and interesting observations made which bear reporting. The ones which follow of course are those which were most frequently mentioned. People generally agreed that social fraternities and sororities provide certain benefits to students. These of course are in the form of companionship and friendship. One professor noted re there typical fraternity men “modernize.” As a result fraternities are “typical”. memberships have slumped, and Greek Interviews that students often come t ECU without a single friend or campus.

Now that we have a new decade before us. let’s take out our old treasures and buff the dull tarnish off the 60s until our ideas and institutions shine with a new glow for the 70s. Our sororities have a new shine for the 70s, but it wasn't an overnight thing. The changes that have occurred and will continue to occur in sororities are the same changes that all college students have undergone and will continue to undergo. Their opinions have become more liberal, and they no longer submit to the standards of an older generation without question The days are fading fast when Miss Sally Sorority would only appear in public dressed in her Papagallo shoes her McMullen blouse, her Ladybug skirt. that neat little gold bracelet and her hair combed perfectly Now she can make it to class in her sandals. bells, a T-shirt and with her hair flying in the Donnie Dixon Jonny Weatherington yca-Cola Bottling Company Inc Greenville, N.C ~. breeze And there are thousands of independents who mirror this same change Yes, sororities have changed, but only the way everyone else has changed.

Presently it eives funds from Burlington Industries, Duke Power co., North Carolina National Bank and Wachovia Bank, in addition to the, Richardson Foundation.

Instead it offers its student selectees a chance to work in an internship program each summer in a field of their own choosing. Jobs range from research, social work and writing to blueberry picking and community organizing JOBS According to one participant “These jobs give you a chance to do something you really want to do for a summer. rather than sit on your ass behind a desk from nine to five everyday.” During the year, students plan as many educational trips to various points in the country as funds will allow. Last year excursions were made to Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. Weekly dinners were also heid, among other things, to allow students to air their problems and grievances.

Dissent must be destroyed; all must worship the government, and all must sacrifice for the country.” Spiro has done it again This time the fire-breathing administrative strong-man has attacked a young member of the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest. Joseph Rhodes. Rhodes has sinned against th country by rufusing to be an administrative puppet ind he even had the audacity to say that th administration has provoked campus violen: ng, | : A New York Times interview quoted the 26 year old Rhodes as saying that: “The kids have got to feel ; someone has the power to really investigate the grave ‘ : charges being brought against the government : Spiro hit at what he termed as Rhodes’ use of his position to rise to “national notoriety.” He also Harvard junior fellow for his bias that will make him criticized the “*transparent counterproductive to the work of the commission.” Perhaps the noble Mr. Agnew is afraid that the commission will find some truth in the words of Rhodes. Or maybe he is worried that Mr. Nixon is going to try to get some men into his decaying government that are not yes-men, but who actually have the gall to think for themselves in this fine We “constitutional democracy.” Agnew’s fears, however, are entirely ungrounded. From Rhodes. who could never be called a radical, sstice this nation has nothing to fear.

Her comments are those of a movement-oriented student, relative not only to her campus, but to most others. The text of her speech, which was followed by a question and answer period, is reprinted in part below. The general topic of her comments was: ‘Revolution in Education.” First, ...there is in my mind a difference between the REVOLUTION IN EDUCATION and the general state of campus unrest which seems to be becoming an annual Spring campus event The outbursts of violence so widely publicized are manifestations of concern, but they are more from frustration than from a desire to find constructive, positive solutions to the problems which are causing the concern. Far less widely publicized are the efforts of a growing number of students who are finding the means and methods of modifying the University as an institution peacefully, lawfully, and internally through what you might call REVOLUTION, but which I prefer to call ACCELERATED EVOLUTION. NEGETIVE VS POSITIVE The difference in terms is more than one of semantics, it 1s evidence of a difference in attitudes, the difference in a negative Vs. a positive approach. While REVOLUTION conotates disruption and possible violence, EVOLUTION can be viewed as 4 natural normal process. AC EH LERATED EVOLUTIONsimply identifies the degree of urgency and intensity with which we as students feel the necessity of bringing about change to keep pace with the accelerated tempo of contemporary life w ithin the American society today General explanations for the underlying causes for student unrest can be divided into several categories: First, the conflict between the young and old the celebrated Generation Gap has been argued both from the standpoint of natural rebellion in youth who act out their feelings by attacking tradition and institutions, and also from the standpoint of excessive parental permissiveness in the upbringing of their children. Neither of these explanations coincide with studies which have shown that student activists tend to come from a highly principled family culture that emphasizes reasoning and persuasion as well as independence in thought and action. Often the leaders of campus action groups were former boy scouts, former high school leaders, former active church members, in short, true “children of the American Dream.” A student leader finds himself labled ‘‘subversive” because he cannot reconcile the high ideals taught in his school. church, and by his parents, with the actions of the society he sees around him. Americanism the qualities of liberty, equality, and justice — appears to be a faded and torn facsimile of his childhood ideals, almost unrecognizable. Secondly, there is a drive among students, who are FOUNTAIN HEAD NEEDS Evolution? socially maturing in a television world of instant awareness and instant analysis to find means to feel socially and personally useful and relevant. College is felt as a forced extension of adolescence, aS a means for society to prolong the period of “second-class citizenship.” The pressures which drive students into college are often other than the primary desire to gain an education AUTHORITY Thirdly, authority, as it has been traditionally held and exercised; no longer commands automatic respect. Students and young faculty take little for granted. Thus the traditional campus governing systems are no longer appreciated as relevant, and campus activists are working toward direct participation. or at least legitimate representation, in a truly responsive governmental system. University administrators, in their failure to involve other elements of the campus community in working out solutions to common problems, set themselves in the unfortunate and unnecessary role of repressors. By choice or circumstances, they become the symbol of opposition, and the decisions rendered too often appear arbitrary and piecemeal.
