Said Howell, “Institutions of higher learning are growing so fast uiat there aren't sufficient funds to support this growth anymore...We're coming to the end of this expansion period where the resources were coming to enable us to offer new programs.” Howell explained that ECU's monetary resources are tied to the amount of students the school enrolls. “Our enrollment grew so fast that come fall we had more students then we expected In the past the North Carolina General Assembly was able to make an emergency allocation tor the extra students, but this year the situation is different “In this session of the General Assembly, they were cutting back on the funds and issuing funds for only the projected enrollment,” said Howell EFFECTS OTHER UNIVERSITIES He emphasized that this money squeeze is not only effecting ECU, but it is also having its effects on all state and the national universities and colleges “We're not in as bad a condition as other institutions,” said Howell, “Yale is forced to reduce its graduate enrollment by 30%.” Howell explained that though ECU student enrollment will increase it will not increase as fast as it has in the past few years “We're faced with this position,” said Howell, “next fall we will have less faculty than we had this fall, but we will have more students.” In order to rectify this situation, the administration thought it would be advantageous to reduce the number of small classes to reduce the size of large classes. “Tt is not a new rule, but we had a surplus of faculty and it was never enforced,” said Howell He said that if a student needs a class to graduate on time, the class will be offered but not as often The administration also thinks it advantagous to reduce the number of new courses offered every quarter Howell explained that in the past the administration had the resources to fund a new course, but now each department would have to be certain that they have the money in their department to fund any new course The Advisory Committee was set up to ascertain that each department does have the money to finance a course “The Advisory Committee doesn’t have any intention of assessing the quality of courses The Committee will consider whether or not the department has the resources to offer the course.” CONTINUES EXPLANATION Howell went on to explain some of the proposals made in the memo One such proposal was that a student may get credit for a course by taking an examination “In-coming freshman do this by taking a by-pass exam,” said Howell, “we're trying to see if there are more areas where we can do this. It would save the school and the state a lot of money.” Reducing the number of hours required for a bachelor’s degree was another proposal made in the memo Howell said it is customary to limit the number of hours to 180 and leave an extra 10 for electives. “Electives are useful, but when you're short of money they're not essential.” None of these proposals are designed to Staff photo by Cheries Bradshaw THREE ECU STUDENTS attempt to register at Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville. The attempt was made in support of ECU’s voter registration drive. The students from ieft to right, are Frank Tyrsi, Mike Jacobson, and Claudia Rumfett remove faculty, just to teach the students with the number of faculty we have,” said Howell “The Administration doesn’t like to do this, but we have no choice.” Sexual advice A Sexual Affairs Committee has been set up under the Student Government Association to work in conjunction with the infirmary’s sexuality clinics “We hope to gather and distribute to students information concerning contraception, unwanted pregnancies, veneral diseases, and such,” said co-chairman Mike Edwards The main objectives will be to find out exact facts and university stands on specific matters and present them directly to all students. Edwards said the main emphasis would be on getting the information to students. Plans are for distribution of materials possibly in booklet form, on a door-to-door basis in the dorms and within all other campus groups “We'd like to put all these facts in a booklet similiar to the ones distributed at UNC-CH and N.C. State,” he continued. “Elephants and Butterflies” is the phamplet distributed at UNC Committee plans are to inform students where to go for help, who to go to, what the infirmary can and can not do and where students can go from there Edwards would also like to include a list of local retailers that offer contraceptives, naming types distributed, as well as names and places to aid students. He cited the REAL House and campus ministers as two possibilities. “We hope the committee, will enable us to push for more liberalized attitudes and discussions in campus health classes,” he continued, “we don't like classes being turned over to film strips.” The committee is open to all interested Students. “‘We're not trying to legislate morality,” Edwards emphasized, “that is not our purpose.” Committee members may be contacted by interested students. They are Jackie Holland, co-chairman, 758-7825; Becky Wood, 752-9571, Shelia Brothers, 758-9916. Edwards may be reached at 758-4676 Voters protected In its latest attempt to enable ECU students to vote in Greenville, the ECU voter registration drive has hired a lawyer to bring suit against the city of Greenville The suit is against the city for not allowing the students to register to vote LUISANA EXPLAINS Rob Luisana, chairman ot the drive, explained that before a suit can be started students names must first be received. To do this Luisana urges all ECU students to go to the Voter Registration {fice, located on the fourth floor of the courthouse and try to register. When he is turned down, he should then sign the form requesting a court hearing The student should also give his name to Luisana to be placed on the suit NO TROUBLE The students are reminded that they cannot get into any sort of legal administrative trouble for doing this.

Consider the evidence, U.S. combat troops are introduced into Indo-China with the following results: (1) South Vietnam conducts an exciting one-man race for the presidency, (2) the Lon Nol government in Cambodia finds Parliament vexing, so it is dismissed, (3) the military rule in Thailand suspends the nation’s constitution, abolishes parliament, dismisses the cabinet, and forms a new “Revolutionary” Party Council whose membership is almost entirely military leaders Thus these nations join the American sphere of influence which has brought you such “free” countries as South Korea and Taiwan Robert L. Capeci Questions positions To Fountainhead: It seems that in my last letter I wrote, “I think that the positions of vice-president, secretary and treasurer of each class should be done away with...” It also seems that the SGA of last year eliminated the secretary and treasurer below the senior class level. What | should have written is that I think the positions of vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the senior class, as well as the vice-president of junior, sophomore, and freshman classes be Jone away with The tradition of having a seniro banquet does not necessitate having four peopk to organize it. Or for that matter, is the senior banquet worth it? Of course I don't know - I've never been to one Writing of worth, do you think it would be worth it to help fund a school in Africa?

Would you like more Information on this? John Palmer Soph. Pres. Offers suggestion To Fountainhead 1 am writing in regard to the article “Italian courses dropped.” Resistance to the study of foreign languages may be just one aspect of the general problem of provincialism. (Why cannot we be citizens of the world instead of citizens of the coastal plain of North Carolina?) But, of course, there is also a different issue involved in the dropping of the Italian courses Although some relevant information (the number of students now taking ITAL 2, Possible alternative arrangements for those students to complete the language requirement etc.) was not reported, still it seems that changes involving a sequence of courses ought to be undertaken more gradually. It is one thing to erase some single esoteric or exotic course, it is another thing to erase a program when some individuals are part way through it In any case, it would appear more reasonable to look at the curriculum as a whole rather than to take pot shots at it C. T. Martoccia Adds sarcasm To Fountainhead | am impressed with a sense of kindness received and | am ready to acknowledge my gratitude--1 no longer have to continue in my disillusionment that Seals and Croft were able performers. | realize now that the students were merely being polite in calling them back for an encore. And, oh, the ignorance and insensitivity of those that left Kristofferson’s performance (?). Ladmit it! | too was an infidel! 1 guess all that | needed was someone to interpret Kristofferson’s glassy-eyed preoccupation as a soul-baring performance for the lost masses. | wronged in not considering that Kris did have pneumonia and electrical problems and that the members of the entourage had to compensate. It’s a poor carpenter that blames his tools I admit my lack of understanding in thinking that Kristofferson’s songs--|_ mean-expressions of the soul sounded the same. | found th: needle beside her.
