Clay views Jenkins’ Memo
By TOMMY CLAY
SGA Preside
Dr. Jenkins’ memo typifies the usual
vagueness and lack of planning in the ECL
administration. The ideas presented are of
nixed quality-some having great potential and
some totally ridiculous. The Advisory
Committee n Progra and Budget
Implications is long overdue
Too often, actions have been taken without
proper consid
ation of the consequences.
However, the committee structure
eaves much to be desired. The committee is
noticably lacking ent and teaching

who suffer the m poor planning, it
would seem that the students and faculty

they couldn't handle, then no one will benetit.
The final two suggestions are, at best, the
product of misdirected good intentions. The
suggestion to “discontinue courses that are not
basic to degree programs or general education
requirements’ goes against all academic ideals.
It would effectively deny students the right to
pursue their personal interests
One characteristic of an academic
community is that it allows and encourages its
members to pursue their own academic
interests. The other suggestion is probably the
most ludicrous. Dr. Jenkins suggests, “Close
undergraduate courses that do not appear likely
to enroll at least 20 students when the
preregistration analysis is available.”
To outsiders, this may seem to be a feasible
economic solution to the rising cost of higher
education. However, Dr. Jenkins should have
known better. If his suggestion were followed
to the letter, perhaps half of the degrees offered
at East Carolina would have to be eliminated
Further, students and teachers are almost
unanimous in their agreement that smaller, not
larger, classes are the ideal. The key point of
higher education is communication, and
communication is best handled on an individual
level
Finally, | would call on all members of the
ECU academic community to study Dr

onstructive. The University community should

East Carolina University, even if it means
opposing Dr. Jenkins.
In spite of the benefits derivable from some

should be wary of them. The underlying tone
seems to be one of speeding the education
process. Reading between the lines, one can
envision a factory tuming out “college
educated people.’ Education is an art, not a
business. In the final analysis, the quality of the
graduate 1s the important consideration

Carolers abused
To Fountainhead
On the night of December 14, some of the
girls from Jarvis decided to go Christmas
caroling. We hoped in this manner we could
arouse some people from their apathy to the
love and brotherhood of Christmas. We were
hoping that everyone would get together and
let it be a sharing experience and in a few cases
we were successful
Many students criticize President Jenkins,
but we would like to thank Dr. and Mrs.
Jenkins for the kind hospitality we received
upon stopping at their home. We also
appreciated the harmonica accompaniment
from Aycock, the singers and listeners from the
wing of Belk closest to Tyler, and the front
porch singers from Jones
These things gave us the strength to go on
For the most part however, we were greeted
with derision and abuse in every form ranging
from obscene comments and threats of injury
from rolls of toilet paper, eggs, water ballons
and smoke bombs, to the exhibitionism we
were treated to from Aycock
It is really weird to think that the guys we
see every day on campus who seem so nice, act
like a pack of wild anim when banded
together
All we can say is that we are sorry that so
many misunderstood our intentions. We're also
sorry that we are just little college freshmen
who aren’t yet mature enough to understand
the true meaning of Christmas. To quote one
Aycock inhabitant; “Christmas is a commercial

Critic replies
To Fountainhead
This letter is written in response to Miss
McCanless’ criticism of my review of the Jethro
Tull concert and Gary Carter's review of the
Bread concert. To start off, let me say that I
did not write two reviews of the concert, one,
before and one after. In the midst of all the
absurdies of her letter, she did present a fact,
wonically intended as sarcasm. I did “enjoy this
group before Homecoming” due to the fact
that I had seem them twice before. For this
reason “Fountainhead” asked me to write an
article on the group before they came, due to
the fact that no promotional material had been
received from the group
If you have read “Fountainhead” with any
regularity you might have noticed that such
articles are written for virtually everything the
Popular Entertainment Committee has
presented for the purpose of publicity
To clarify another point, writing a review
does not consist of merely attending a concert,
going back and deciding whether you like it,
then writing it down. The object is first to
relate what went on at the concert, then to
employ aesthetic principles in evaluating the
concert and substantiating it. These reviews are
an analysis, not an opinion, as any person who
reads with any amount of depth and perception
could tell. I myself have several times sacrificed
personal taste as a matter of objectivity and
aesthetic responsibility
In defense of Mr, Carter, I must first inform
you that his article was cut down due to space,
and lost much of its substantiation in the
process. Secondly, Mr. Carter himself has stated
that he enjoys listening to Bread albums
The Forum
occaisonally, so he does not present a personal
bias. His criticism of Bread was that they were
accomplished studio musicians, but they were
dull in live performance. Mr. Carter and I did
not collaborate on our reviews, His was written
the day before the Tull concert. We do not
write reviews on groups as comparisons with
other groups, but rather evaluate each
performance on its own merits
Finally, my dear Miss McCanless you fall
prey to that most horrid sin of wiich you
condemn us, the one for which you call upon
the student body to liberate themselves from
You are opinionated without being fair. To
quote you: “Criticisms are opinionated as they
always are, but they should also be fair
From my own opinions
For your salvation I suggest you rid yourself
of the idea that Bread was persecuted, take
some freshman English courses to learn what
constitutes critical writing, and go buy a Bread
album and lock youself in your room

SGA blunders
To Fountainhead
After reading Tuesdays (Dec 14th) edition
of ‘‘Fountainhead” [ see that our SGA
Legislature made another blunder among their
achievements for this year. Probably in thinking
that they were helping the students, the
legislature only hurt them. I am referring to the
Legislatures move to cut the existing penalties
the Judiciary Branches can use. Asa member of
the University Board, I felt previous to this
time that we did not have enough penalties to
work with. Then we had seven after the
legislature's move, we now have only five. The
only penalty we had that was somewhere
between “light” and “heavy” was done away
with. I feel the way the penalties exist after the
legislatures move will result in harsher penalties
for the students. Our choices are: warning;
(which is like a pat on the hand), a reprimand;
(only a written warning), social probation
(does not permit student to take place in
extra-curricular activities (how many ECU
student out of 10,000 come under this), and
does not permit inter-dorm visitation) after
these three come suspended suspension, and
suspension
As you can see there is not much to work
with, especially when the “Key” states that a
penalty should be rehabilitative for the
offender. The legislature is not a qualified body
to set up the total number of penalties for the
judiciary, Some type of committee should have
been set up with members from all three bodies
to make a list of penalties, The only result I can
see from the legislature's actions is the
extinction of the student judiciary system and
They laid it on the line-we'd be taken to jail,
bond posted, kicked out of school, have a trial
and likely spend some time in prison...not to
mention beinging branded with a criminal
record. Something to laugh at?-not any more
We were scared to death and begged for our
lives. Aside from ourselves, we think now of the
men running the store and of how hard it must
be to make a profit if there are people
constantly stealing from them
We were very, very lucky-the managers let us
go on a simple promise that we would steal no
more. We wonder how many they let go who
keep on stealing-it's a chance they are taking.
My roommate and I would just like to say-think
about it first and don’t steal-the consequences
are too high!
Ex-Shoplifters
Compares schools
To Fountainhead
I am a transfer student from Ohio Wesleyan
University. In many ways this small Methodist
college was quite similar to ECU. Like ECU
Ohio Wesleyan imposes (1) many male
chauvanistic and dated rules and regulations
upon their women students. Like ECU, Ohio
Wesleyan felt that it should act as “Big Mommy
and Big Daddy” to all its many “children.”
Well, Ohio Wesleyan like ECU was not “one,
big, happy family” as a result of this childish
treatment!
Instead of providing a healthy atmosphere
for its student body, ECU insists on creating a
stiffling, unnatural environment. East Carolina
declares that its purposes are “to offer a
practical education and to promote research in
order to serve a free society.”
By restricting male-female interaction to a
specified day, a specified hour, ECU is
enforcing the continuance of an unfree society
If communication lines are kept open, it is
amazing how much one can gain from
INTELLECTUAL intercourse with a member
of the opposite sex. However, ECU must not
feel that its students are mature enough to
handle free experiences and real
communication. It is a sad state of affairs when
a university feels that the freedom to choose
one’s own hours policy, the ability for college
students to act as adults, and the desire of
women to be treated with equal justice and
respect to men are new ideas.
By permitting ECU to put a tax on the
amount of time each week you spend relating
to members of the opposite sex, you are
allowing ECU to place a tax on an education
that is, as important to your future
development as your classroom education
