Barrus of Barrus Construction Company formally presented the gift to President Leo Jenkins in Kinston Wednesday morning Jenkins said the land is the first grant of its type ever given to the University outright, and described it as “truly a remarkable windfall.” The land, larger in size than the school’s downtown campus, fronts on the Tar River and extends to Mumford Road. “We will immediately launch studies to determine possibilities for educational and research uses of this land.” Jenkins said. “It is necessary that natural areas be available to support the new emphasis on environmental and ecological study. Parts may be left undisturbed for research into natural biological and geological features. Other parts may be used as field study sites for our own students and other college or public school students in our region.” The grant contains several man-made lakes and the rest is natural woodlands. ECU officials said it has been conservatively appraised as being worth $75,000. In his presentation to the University, Barrus said, “I hope other people in eastern North Carolina will follow suit in making gifts to the foundation. | am particularly anxious to see the medical school established as Eastern Carolina needs doctors very badly and I sincerely hope that all of the citizens will get behind the medical school.” Jenkins said the University has sought tracts of undeveloped land to preserve for educational and research purposes, and said he was particularly pleased at the Barrus gift so close Proximity to the Greenville campus “We express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Barrus and state that we will make good use of any land made available to us.” Dissent Dik.

Barrus of Kinston (center) and Reynolds May, director of ECU Foundations (right), on the occasion of the Presentation of the deed for 325 acres of land by Barrus to ECU. discussed By LOWELL KNOUFF (Staff Writer) The Student Government Association of ECU is facing a money crisis. On May 13 word was circulating around campus that the SGA was broke. However, the next day Randy Honnett, SGA treasurer, said the situation was not as bad as it looked. According to Honnett the SGA appr »priated $446,000 for the year beginning fall of 1970. To date the full amount has not been received in the treasury, and $371,000 has been spent by organizations receiving money from the SGA. All of the money that the SGA gets comes from student activity fees and from the University ticket office. Honnett said about $30,000 is expected for the summer schoot budget, but that is not a firm figure. It can vary depending on the number of students attending. The reason for the overexpenditure is that Organizations receiving SGA appropriations have been asking for more money than had been predicted at the first of the year and the SGA Legislature has been approving the amounts asked, Honnett said. He added, “I suppose the treasurer has to accept the blame though.” Mrs. Joyce Owens, director of the Student Fund Accounting Office, was in the room with Honnett at the time and she quickly pointed out that the Legislature had to approve every cent appropriated and they could add to or take away from the treasurer's recommendation, but what they approved the treasurer could not change. Mrs. Owens also pointed out that $10,000 had been lost on the entertainment during Pirate Jamboree weekend. Students just did not buy tickets for the entertainment events. She went on to say, “We usually break about even on entertainment events.” Generally enough tickets are sold to pay the expenses of the event so it costs the University nothing. Honnett said, “We hope to break even by the end of the year, but if expenditures continue at the present rate we may go as much as $40,000 in the red by the end of the year. “The only thing we can do is to ask as many organizations as possible to hold on to the money they have. We ask people to live with the bare essentials and spend only what is absolutely necessary.” “I intend to make sure this does not happen again,” Honnett said. As for this summer, Honnett said we will have money to operate on. “Money will be available for salaries and people that work will be paid.” Yoder: Issues too complex Constant use of the state legislature as a court of last resort in problems of higher education has resulted in issues too complex for 170 legislators to solve, Ed Yoder, editorial writer for the Greensboro Daily News, told a meeting of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) here Thursday evening. Speaking on the role of the press in higher education, Yoder explained the proposed state board of regents plan to the AAUP group. “The 44-member board of regents would have four members appointed from cach Congressional district,” he said. “They would be appointed by the governor for varying terms” but elected for the first time the board went into effect. Beneath the board of regents would be boards of trustees for each institution to handle nternal inatters. “The purse strings would be in the hands of the board of regents,’ Yoder said. “They would handle such things as budgets, degree programs, federal programs. grants-in-aid, and function allocations.” The trustees, in turn, would make faculty appointments and oversee the president of the institution, according to Yoder. With the ihc be system “there is one policy-making level,” said Yoder. “The administration is responsible to the bvard of trustees and nothing is above them except the Legislature.” Yoder described the present trustee system s “more politically oriented” and a system in which there is much “‘back-scratching.” Citing editorial stands of the Greensboro ‘Leave the college press alone. Let it be as mischevious as it may to commit the gross errors of taste that | was guilty of in my day.’ Daily News on higher education, Yoder pointed out editorial support of raising academic salaries, repeal of the speaker ban law, support of principles of academic freedom, and support of campus journalists in their right to apply their pens without interference of the Legislature or administration. Speaking of ECU President Leo Jenkins’ recent accusation that ECU has not been fairly treated by Piedmont newspapers, Yoder said that “no conspiracy exists against ECU in the North Carolina pressrooms.” Ordinances require bicycle registration Campus police are not enforcing city and state ordinances for bicycles, according to Joe Calder, campus security chief. However, anyone riding bicycles off campus is required to have a city registration tag and cannot ride on sidewalks or ride after dark without lights and a rear reflector. The crackdown on regulations has been the result of the large numbers of bikes congregating in downtown Greenville, blocking traffic and pedestrians, according to Harry Hagerty, Greenville city manager. VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCE Several ECU students have already been arrested oi violation of the city ordinance which reads: Section VH, 11 City Code: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a bicycle or muscular propelled vehicle on the streets of the city of Greenville without it being registered.” According to Hagerty, the key word is “person,” not “citizen,” thus making ECU students liable under the same laws as residents of Greenville. STATE LAW Under the state law, anyone riding after dark without a light and a reflector is subject to { Prosecution. Registration fee for the city tags is 50 cents. Hagerty also emphasized the registration as a safety precaution for bike owners. Three or more bicycles are reported stolen to the campus police office and to the city police department every week, according to Hagerty. If the bikes are registered, the serial number is recorded and positive identification can help in restoring bikes to the rightful owner. FREE REGISTRATION Students charged with improper bike registration, though unaware of the city ordinance, have had to pay a $15 cost of court fee, though no other fines have been imposed. Calder also noted tha ECU offers free bike registration for ail students this year. However, next year bike registration will be required with a$l fee, he said. This is to control the flow of stolen bikes on campus, and is cheaper than the cost of $2 at all other state supported schools, according to Calder. Not only have ECU students been affected by the city ordinance passed in 1970, but also all citizens of Greenville, including small children who, according to the ordinance, are not allowed to ride on the sidewalks. Yoder related that his newspaper has been consistent in its position of university status. “We have frequently been opposed to university status applied wholesale or by a magic wand,” he said. “We have frequently said that there may be a good case for a fourth four-year medical school in the state,” said Yoder. “But we're still waiting for the experts to tell us.”” In a question and answer period, Yoder was asked about the suspension from school of Fountainhead Editor Robert Thonen for the use of four-letter words. “Leave the college press alone,” said the former Dialy Tar Heel editor-in-chief. “Let it be as mischievous as it may be to commit the gross errors of taste that | was guilty of in my day.” “I don’t relish four-letter words in a newspaper. Yet it is wise to leave them alone and Iet them do what they want to do.” Yoder said that criticism of the student newspaper should come from students in the form of student referendum to revoke financial support of the paper. “Due process is necessary as far as student self-government is concerned in an area where the student ought to have something approaching autonomy,” Yoder added. Trial slated for editor The editor-in-chief and cartoonist of Fountainhead will be tried by the University Board this week on charges of “abusive and obscene language.”” Editor Bey Denny and Ken Finch, cartoonist. received summons in the office of ECU President Leo Jenkins on Friday afternoon. Dean of Student Affairs James Tucker served the notices. The judicial action is a result of the editorial cartoon which appeared in the Thursday, May 13 edition of Fountainhead. The charges specified that the editorial cartoon contained “abusive, vulgar. obscene language” and that such words are “obscene and abusive to the dignity of the office of the President of ECU” and are “abusive and fepugnant to the faculty, administration, and students of the University community.” Charges further specified that the words used were “in derogation of the commonly accepted ‘contem| standards of ordinary decency which prevail within the University community” and are ‘‘totally without redeeming social value.” The University Board tried former Fountainhead Robert Thonen and Bill Schell, who wrote a letter to the editor containing alleged “obscene and abusive” language last week. As a result, Thonen was suspended from school and Schell was given a sentence of susvended suspension. at press convention By BOB ROBINSON (Special to Fountainhead) GOLDSBORO -. “I felt that the closing of Bill Schell’s letter to the editor summed up how students felt about Dr. Jenkins,” former Fountainhead editor Bob Thonen told the 50 persons aitending the Eastern North Carolina Press Association convention here Friday. Thonen and SGA President Glenn Croshaw had been invited to participate in the meeting's panel on “Dissent and Press Coverage” two months before he was suspended from the University. a8 The Association is an organization of ‘daily and weekly newspapers east of Raleigh. Most of them have conservative editorial policies. The panel had been planned as a general discussion of dissent and the press’s responsibility in covering dissent, bu the recent developments at ECU were the topics of both Thonen and Croshaw’s presentation. Thonen said that he had had the letter and its closing checked by a lawyer and that he was advised that it was in no way illegal. The letter was published as part of his policy of making the editorial page open to all viewpoints expressed on campus. “Although I personally feel that four-letter words do not accomplish what [ want to do,” Thonen said, “I realize that there is a group of people that do things a different way, including using four letter words.” He said that he thought that these people were sincere in feeling that the use of these words accomplished a useful purpose and that he did not feel he should dictate to these people “I have very strong feelings as to what a newspaper should and should not do. f cannot profess one set of values and practice another To ignore the existance of four-letter words and ir use in everyday conversation by not publishing them would be hypocracy.” Thonen told the assembled editors and publishers that the paper had refused no expression of opinion presented for publication except those that were libelous. Croshaw said that he had suggested that the selection of the Publications Board be done by popular election to give the students who are the newspaper's subscribers more controi over the paper. Dr. Jenkins said. “We can’t do that: the people who want four letter words will vote and those who are againstthem won't.” Croshaw said. L.F. Amburn, editor of the Chowan Herald, asked Croshaw what his position on the use of ““*"four letters words was. “I don’t know whether legally I can say what should or should not be published,” he said. “Dr. Jenkins has told me now is the time for strong leadership to stop it. His position during the visitation controversy was that we did not need strong leadership. but should sit back and keep quiet.” “I think that we have to realize two things.” Gene Price. editor of the Goldsboro News-Argus said. “First. there is a difference in the readership and second there is a difference in lawyers.” He noted that Fountainhead did not have a “family” readership and that the paper's lawyer was probably more liberal than his lawyer. He asked, “If other issues are so important. why tisk the controversy caused by the words?” Thonen replied that the same sort of language had been used in the past and there was no attempt to punish the persons responsible. He felt that there was tm attempt made this time because the language was directed towards Dr. Jenkins and because of past editorial positions. At the close of the mecting several of the editors present talked to Thonen and Croshaw personally about the situation that has developed on the campus in the past few weeks. Several of the journalists present expressed disapproval of the use of obscene language, but noted that they had been favorably impressed by the presentation made by the two students. Faculty Senateto vote on semester system Change to a semester system for ECU may hecome a reality if a proposed motion before the Faculty Senate is passed Tuesday. Fall of 1972 is set as the date of the transition between the present quarter system nad the semester system according to Dr Robert Mayberry of the Calendar Committee. “Better blocks of time” will result according to Mayberry if the change is made. Emphasizing “*no Saturday classes” Mayberry said the proposed calendar is much more workable than the present system. He bases this on the proposed exam schedule and school’s carly dismissal. “‘Our present system of exams is anti-intellectual," commented Mayberry. “In the quarter system a student may have up to three exams a day and little time to study.” In the proposed system there would be a nine day exam period with only two exams scheduled per day. The proposed system set for fall semester 1972 would make registration day August 29 (Tuesday) and semesters end December 20, last day of exams. September 4, Labor Day, and November 22-27, Thanksgiving, would be holidays. Between fall and spring semester would be almost a full month of vacation. Students would report back to ECU January 15 for registration, classes would begin the 16th. March 16-26 would be spring vacation, class” would end April 30 and exams May Commencement would be May 13. There would be two summer schoo! sessions. * First session would run from June 5 to July 12 and second session July 13 to August 18 During first session July 4-July 11 would be vacation days Change to a semest-1 system may help case employment problems. said Mayberry. “If we don't go to the semester system | don't know about finding summer jobs.” Other schools, such as Duke and Carolina, already on the semester system get out weeks before ECU. The students from other schools have a “jump on the jobs by the time ECU students get home the jobs are picked over, continued Mayberry The proposed change is modeled after calendars at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University. Duke and out of stale schools in Wisconsin, Texas and Alabama. Mayberry, of the Romance Languages Department. previously worked under the semester system at Chapel Hill. “Every attempt will be made to make the transition period easy” both for students and teachers according to Mayberry. Describing himself as “very encouraged so far” about passage of the measure, Mayberry commented that one teacher had even worked out 3 detailed semester schedule for 1972. If the measure is passed by the Faculty Senate it will move to the President of the University and the Board of Trustees for consideration. The purpose of the Calendar Committee is to work out the best workable calendar for the University. Mayberry feels this proposai will be beneficial to students and faculty. * ty past yes Inte now By iV mil less wil dec do ret or ex sei Page Fountainhead, Tuesday May 18,197) Foreign students must contend Campus briefs Ci i ] U re, é - Over $1,000 jn dormitory fole) re) em furnishings have been andalized during the year, ' i coralie: to Clifton Moore, By SHERRY BUCHANAN e f head) specia 4 E A thousind miles fr home all your favorite foods gone yne speaking your language homesickness and loneliness.

He spent spring quarter Pursuing a plan of independent study, visitin ; 9 art schools an departments across the county eae By THOMAS HAINES (Special to Fountainhead) The University system in America is probably the finest educational plan in the world. But all plans have their pitfalls drawbacks, or inconsistencies due to either poor management, inferior members, feeble structures, or uncontrollable outside forces, such as lack of proper funds or scarcity of talent. Despite these possible obstacles the United States educational system manages to educate the uneducated, instruct the uninstructed and infrom the uninformed in a fairly sound and constructive manner. We are advancing by degrees and each step brings us in greater control of our mind and its capabilities, One of the major drawbacks is that in any four year learning situation, it is easy for a student to become stagnate or stiffled in his progress. A student might possibly fall into a routine which causes laziness, loss of interest, or boredom, putting the brake on the learning process, thus halthing the development of the intellect. This can especially be true of those involved in art, where the Imagination, sensitivity, and creativity of an individual must be constantly functioning. Some possible solutions are transfer involvement with a personal love of one aspect of a particular field, re-evaluation of personal interests, or a program of independent study A quarter of independent study, if at all feasible for the particular individual, is the most desirable solution and the course that I selected, This is more practical for someone like an art major as opposed to the more academic fields After selecting four courses from the curriculum independent photography, independent figure drawing, drawing and American art history I obtained a letter of introduction from Dean Gray. I started the journey by car on March 11, 197] and began visiting art schools and departments throughout the South in one, two or three day intervals. Atter presenting the letter of introduction, I would be given permission to attend any class Vd then select one of the four courses and attend the session, working on drawings, photographs, or listening to lectures Occasionally [ was fortunate enough to attend lectures by guest speakers of national renown, for example, Sam Gillan of Washington, D.C. The visiting of various classes at different art institutions opened up whole TOM HAINES, a graduate art student here, toured art schools and departments throughout the United States this spring as an independent study program.

This variety increased still more with the alternation between night in “The individual and choral readings Carefully arranged paintings and sculptures added to the visual impact of the presentation, and Bob Wallace intensified the changing moods ancient Greece frustration, master transcend national borders and barriers of language,” selections haunting hearty evening's musical Russian love song rendition “Love merely echoed, the shifting tones of Of course, the poetry itself remained the crucial of the program, the other arts were element Hunter and “Helen of subordinates.

His changing of the spotlights size, color, intensity, and position contributed an energy without which the performance would have been weakened Proving Tabory’s belief that ‘human feelings and emotions dramatized the opposing forces of evil and good, violence and love in “Thous Shalt Not Kill.” The other performers supported the dramatization by choral reading and by raising their arms, during its climax, to symbolize the affirmation of optimism and kindness over the worldly “practicality war.

And it’s an academic e that everyone in are isn’t able to pursue the course in American Art History in this manner. A far better understanding appreciation and respect for American art car b ybtained by actually seeing John Battenberg’s “Johnny’s First Trip” at the i rsity of Illinois, walking through the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, getting involved with the feeling and emotion in Jackson Pollock’s “No i” in New York City, or studying closly the gillwork in Baroness Pontalba’s buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana In the course of traveling, I visited 4) art schools and departments including the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Pratt Institute of Art and Design, the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design. These schools belong to the National Association of Schools of Art. I also visited 40 art galleries and 23 major cities in the United States, covering a total of 7,400 miles.

This presentation was a mediocre version of a bad play There were funny lines, however. After all, it’s supposed to be a comedy. The best laughs however, relied on the worst aspects of human character. Except on one or to occasions, all the high points depended on low humor. But the play has other faults Feiffer, as the author, tries to say things the play does not. He has his characters lament the tragedy of role playing, welcome big brother's televised world, seek nauseating forms of freedom, and give thanks to the valor of their immigrant parents. Feiffer strings these little segmented comments together on a very weak thread that can hardly be called a plot, unless its the plot where his murderers are buried. His characters, as he would have us believe of people, do not talk to each other, yet Feiffer does not retrain from lecturing the audience When he tries to say something, the action stops and the theater turns into a classroom His thoughts, what ones he has, stand out as little uncut semi-precious stones that are nothing more than unconvincing cliches which lack any semblance of unity. After the audience figures out that the “little murders” are the psychological barbs people exchange in their everyday living, the play is reduced to a series of trite parallels betw the little apartment the little lives, and the big outside world d vy in combining vulgar Feiffer succeeds situation comedy and black humor in his attempt to become a dramatic Gahan Wilson He titillates the audience with four letter words the theater can get away with but which Smokey Jr. recovering HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, NM.
