SGA Plans New Review OF ECC Campus Agencies The Executive Council of the SGA i in the process of reviewing all campus organitntiene. Approximately 'en organizations are scheduled for reviewing each Wednesday night. The purposes behind this review according to President Mike Katsias, re (1) to determine the merit of the various organizations and decide if new ; etitioning organizations and old ones are worthy of recognition, and (2) to gather informaton for compi- ling a directory of all campus organi- zations. The president of each organization is called upon to represent his group at the review. They are asked suchjwill questions as "Does your organization erve its purpose; Does it serve the student body; Does it participate in campus activities; does it promote chool spirit?" The organization pre- sents are also questioned concern- ing membership in their groups, and ihe type of program they set up for the academic year. Also submitted by each resident is a copy of the constitution, a list of members and off.cers with direc- tory information, information on dues, time of meetings, and require- ments for membership. Organizations that have been re- viewed so far are the Math Club, Art Club, Physical Education Club, Wo- men's Recreation Association, Future Business Leaders of America, Asso- ciation for Childhood Education. Home Economics Club, English Club. Intramural Sports, College Choir, Television Guild, and the newly form- ed sororities.

Bryan Harrison, a junior and Editor uf the Campus literary Magattne THE REBEL, has this to say: The professor who said that East i aiolina College had a high atmosphere was somewhat justified in his remark. The atmosphere could be caused by the professor who made his class of graduate students pledge they wouldn't mark in library books, the dorm "mother" who smells every- one's breath as she comes In the door, and the student who preslsts in re- taining his inane, vulgar, Obnoxious habit of rock and roll after he comes to college. "Yet 1 do not think that this is the dominating atmosphere on the campus 1 think we can ignor those sloptiness, and you can say that there is a good deal of that on campus. However, I feel that in the past year a great deal of advancement has teen made to improve on the intel- lectual climate. THE REBEL is de- voted to that end. The Danforth rrogram lists that as their number one goal. And lately such groups as the East Carolina Historical Society school have sprung up. It is my opinion that climate be- gins in the classroom and the protes- tor is in large part responsble for the inclination of his students. There are too many professors on campus who ere teaching high school courses; therefore it is no wondei that some- one has accused us of a high school atmosphere Howard Cutler, a senior pre-min- isterial student remarked, "I don't think the situation here is so bad. I believe the climate has improved in the foUT years I have been here. The intellectual climate here " He said further, "I believe there is a greater interest in intellectual matters here on campus than is shown on the surface, and it is the duty of the students, fraternities, and pro- fessors to motivate the existing in- terest Harper said students need not with- draw from social activities to pursue a intellectual interest. "Admitting some students often show little concern with anything they cannot drink, drive or go out with, they must realize they can have an intellectual interest without grow- ing a beard and rolling their eyes a certain way when hearing strains of Bach. It's posible to have an intel- Dixie Hobgood feels that the intel- lectual atmosphere here is "Just about right for the caliber of students Hobgood commented that "most of the students, 1 think, are here to learn to earn a living. There are those who ate interested in culture and art and literature. That's fine. But, as for myself, what good is culture if you UN bored to death?" He commented that those most in- terested in intellectual persuits are those who have it offered in their major fields of study such as English, Art, and Music. However, science majors, business majors, others, ho felt, have to go out of their fields for it. "I think most people here are here who have contributed to our scienti- iic knowledge today, 90 per ceat of them are alive at this hour Dr. Johnson reasoned, therefore, that "we have a tremendous body of knowledge before us now. Our pro- blem is that we do not know what this knowledge, these facts, mean to is as human beings The Riverton, N. C, native used this to illustrate his point about change. Most of the things which we now believe to be fact, he said, have nly recently been discovered. The old books, the old facts, are no lon- ger valid. Thus, he advocated, it would not be sensible to try to solve our problems of today by turning to the old books for our answers. He applied this to this region's biggest tension, segre- gation. "We must look at the facts as they are right now at .this momentr and act on those facts' he said that hanges. "We are not our grand- lathers he remarked. "At the time of this country's greatest political era, the South pro- duced a large body of leaders He pointed out Jefferson, Washington, the Lees, Hamilton, and others. 'These men looked at the facts as they were in 1776. They saw what had to be done, at that time, at that place. They disregarded all the old beliefs, all the old books. They put fiside the political thought of Plato and Aristotle and the Old World. They created a democracy. "And out of their work grew a trovernment which has become today the oldest government in the world vhich is still operating under its ori- ginal constitution Dr. Johnson called upon the South to produce the leaders who will again iead this country out of its biggest problems. He acknowledged that the 1 roblems are vastly different, that new solutions must be sought for the new ills, but that by facing the situa- tion, "by looking at the problems with realism and casting aside all traditions and emotions and doing what must be done, "he predicted that the South could once again lead i he country out of its chaos. Dr. Johnson spoke Wednesday right, before a larger audience, on the topic: Creativity and .Producti- vity Again, he spoke of change and its meaning to Man. A former newspaperman on the Baltimore Sun and now a free lance journalist, Dr. Johnson was a guest of the Danforth Foundation. NEA Requests Parents Visit This week a special appeal is being made to parents and to the public in general to visit the tublic schools. This is the 38th annual observance of American Education Week. Over the ration thousands of parents will sit in the back of their child's classroom to see their children study science and to hear them read. This special focus on the school is sponsored by a host of groups includ- ing the National Education Associa- tion, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, the U. S. office of Education, the American Legion, and the local branch of the North Carolina Education Associa- tion.

Floats and dormitory decorations carried out the theme with such symbols as Negio mammies, picaninnies, and Uncle Re- mus. The National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People raised such a row that in the future Homecoming decorations and themes may have to be faculty or ad- ministratively supervised. William H. Pinkett, a representative of the Denver branch of the NAACP, threaten- ed that "the whole nation will be informed through the press of what has happened up here Pinkett added that the NAACP had also registered it's disapproval over the Home- coming Theme and decorations by writing a letter to University President Quigg Newton. In the letter the NAACP suggested that the University administration exercise more su- pervision in regard to similiar student en- deavors so that "something of this nature won't happen again Omer C. Stewart, chairman of the De- partment of Anthropology claimed that the programing of Homecoming has been left to the students too long. He said, "We should ban house decorations altogether. It's time we grow up His remarks stemmed from the fact that "our students have a lack of con- cern for the feelings of other people A University had an Old South theme for Homecoming. It pictured Negroes as they were then. So what? If the NAACP want to bury their heads as ostriches and refuse to re- cognize the fact that there was a time when the Negro was this way, why should students at this university be punished or restricted? The University of Colorado is integrated. The students at Colorado University have stood for equality of rights and for integra- tion. Perhaps the NAACP should remember the old proverb. "Don't throw stones in the well that gives you water Negroes advocate the banning of HUCKLEBERRY FINN because the word "nigger" was used; Pearl Bailey would not sing songs from PORGY AND BESS unless words were changed which pictured the Ne- gro as illiterate ("Bess You Is My Woman "It Ain't Necessarily So") ; a line from STATE OF THE UNION was changed ("that's mighty white of you") because it offended Negroes; and a University was cri- ticized because it pictured the Old South as its Homecoming theme. For a people who are supposed to be so pour, persecuted, and down-trodden, it ap- pears that the Negroes are certainly pushing theii weight around a lot. EC Has Growing Pains When a committee sets about to evaluate the needs f an educational institution over a 10-year period, it is quite likely in this day and time that the needs will be underestimat- ed rather than overestimated. Though the Board of Higher Education has recommended almost $700,000 for expan- sion of physical facilities at East Carolina College between 1959 and 1969, it is quite likely that the Board has deleted from its recommendations items that will be sorely needed by the college before 1969. The Board of Higher Education left off its list of recommended permanent improve- ments at ECC requests for a multi-purpose agriculture building, a technical institute building, a dormitory for 304 women and a dormitory for 504 men. It also scaled down requests for funds to construct a new health and physical education building. With the exception of the men's dormi- tory, President Messick has asserted he will seek to have these items restored to the re- commended list o improvements by the Board of Higher Education. During the past decade East Carolina has grown by leaps and bounds, its enroll- ment increasing more than three-fold, Every indication points to the fact that colleges and universities throughout the nation will be faced with an era of unprecedented growth during the next 10 to 15 years. Unless there is a radical change in con- ditionsand there is nothing to indicate such a changeEast Carolina will need all the physical facilities which it (has requested from the Board of Higher Education. In all probability its needs will be beyond these re- quests before 1969. Once the people of the state approve such a bond issue they will expect it to take tare of the needs of the institutions for the period specified. They will be reluctant to approve subsequent funds after giving approval to such a large outlay initially. The record of growth at East Carolina during the past decade strongly suggests the requests of the college for plant expansion between now and 1969 are a minimum. For these requests to be scaled down may result in a drastic adverse affect upon the ability of the college to meet increasing demands for service which will confront it between now and 1969.

Prexy Spouts EC Stipulates Thus And So Kstbryn Johnson EDITOR JoAnne Parks BUSINESS MANAGER Managing Editor Billy Arnold Assistant Editors Derry Walker, Pat Harvey Co-Sports Editors Johnny Hudson, BUI Boyd iphorBob Harper k, I am writing you this letter In an- swer to the Homecoming Queen latter .f the past-President of the Student " overnment Association, Mr. Phelps. The reason I did not comment any sooner was that I felt unprepared at the time you asked me. I fait that there was a need for a thorough in- vestigation into the standing com- mittee rule concerning the Homaco- ing Queen. Allow me to quote the Student Go- vernment minutes of Wednesday, Oc- tober 24, 1966: "Eddie Dennis made a motion that the S. G. A. not allow freshman girls to run for Homecom- ing Queen next year, but to allow them lo be sponsors. Walter Hasty amended the motion to read that the honor of being Homecoming Queen be given to the upper classmen. The 'notion, as amended, was seconded and passed In order to complete the investigat- ion, I also checked the East Caro- linian of October 26, 1966. Mention was made in this issue of the paper of the change in the status of the Homecoming Queen by Student Go- vernment. I feel that the new standing rule which was passed by the Student Se- nate will end the possibility If any further confusion. Once again, forgive me for my late comment, but I felt it necessary to check thoroughly all angles concern- ing this incident. Yours very truly, Mike Katsias President Dear Sudents: Every Tuesday night, at about 6:30 p. m chimes can be heard all over the campus as they ring out tunes of familiar hymns. They remind us that it is time to pause for about twenty minutes of our terribly busy lives and go to Chapel in Austin Auditorium. With all the confusion, noises, and constant rushing, we need to atop and in the quietness of the beautiful organ music, seek the face of God. Aa ve listen to the music, the words of life that are spoken from the Bible, mi the audible prayers, a peace floods our hearts and we realize anew the great wonders and the majesty of our God. When we consider the blessings that come our way, it would seem that the auditorium would be filled each week. Most students, however, fail to recognize the value of chapel, and therefore, do not attend. If an outsider were to attend one of these vesper services, he would probably be surprised at the seemingly lack of interest of the student body in such a program. If it is worthwhile (and I definitely do believe that it is) then why do not more people attend? The reasons are various and numerous and many of them very shallow. Per- ns ps we Christians fail to see that not only do we as individuals receive much benefit by going to Chapel, but that our very presence there is a positive way of witnessing for the Lord. God has blessed us in a myriad of ways. Just to be able to come to col- lege is certainly a wonderful privi- lege and opportunity that millions of young people do not get. Whan we consider the growing need of more physical and mental hospitals for patients with diseased bodies and minds, and when we think of the mil- lions of people the world over that are dying of starvation and of cold, doesn't it do something to us? Look at yourself 1 Can you walk? Can you hear? Can you see? Can you talk? God has truly blessed you in a won- derful way. Two missionaries were on campus Monday night at a Christian fellow- ship. They told us of how the natives of Cuba and India are so hungry for the Gospel. The natives have not had the opportunities as we have to go to church and worship the true living God, but after they do hear the Plan of Salvation, they cry out eagerly for miore. "Tell us more they say, "We'll get our friends and families to come to the services if you'll only stay and tell us more of this Jesus Christ And they walk for miles and miles and miles just to attend one service! What about us here in America, right here on East Carolina campus? we don't have to walk miles to go to chapel; we don't have to beg to hear more of the Bible truths. These op- portunities are brought right up to our "door steps but what do we do with them? Do we not realize our indebtedness to Christf Perhaps we take too much for granted. Have you ever stopped to consider what Jesus Christ had to give up and had to endure when He left the very throne of God to come down to this earth in the form of a man. He, the Son of God, became man's servant. Al- though he was marked, ridiculed, cri- ticized, spat upon, left alone, hated, and crucified for all ungrateful kind, that we might have eternal life with Him in heaven. Christ could not have done sneva for usbut, what do we give him in return? The Bible says, "Ye shall be witnesses "For- sake not the assembling of yourselves together. . . " "Honor the Lord with thy substance. . and "Let us there- fore come boldly onto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy to find grace to help in time of need These promises and privileges can be oursso why don't we accept them? Chapel is backed by the "Y It matters not whether you belong to a denomination, you are invited and welcome to come. Your presence there will glorify His name. I Corinthians 6: 19, 20. "What know ye not that your body is, the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God? and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: There- fore glorify God in your body, And in your spirit, which are God's Sincerely, Mattie Lou Harris Dear Editor: I think we .should give some thought to the matter before we allow our tuition fees to be increased by the proposed $4 raise in the activity fee. Most students have a difficult time paying the present tuition fees with- out an increase. It seems that the increase will go mainly for entertain- ment purposes. We must first ask ourselves the question if this will benefit the student population as a whole or just the dog loving Katsias faction. Students are not in the habit of remaining at the college over the weekends anyway. Most of them have their suitcases packed before Wednes- day in order that they will lose no time in getting home. Some people seem to think that the college will lose its prestige if it does not invite the "name-bands" to the campus. I have been under the delus- ion that college was primarily an in- stitution for learning. Is this a country club or a college? The potent don't need these courting dance ri- tuals anyway. Must we spend a lot of Jack for these big name bands. (Man. they are a drag anyway.) Between our school band and some of the better juke-box music and the big name bands, is there so much difference in the tune of the flute? If we must have this form of social lubrication, let us at least give the student band members of our school band a chance to get their hands on some of this loose jack. It would be a damn cite cheaper; the music would be as good. I have heard that the football team needs more money for equipment so that they can get into the Southern Conference. At all the games I have attended, they appeared to be on equal basis with their opponents so far as equipment is concerned. Is equipment ail that is necessary to get a team into a higher conference? At Barium Springs High School, which I attended in my happier youth, we had very little money to buy football eqnlpment with, but we were always able to produce one hell-of-a 'ootball team. It's not so difficult to explain. The boys just loved to play footballthat's all. They didn't give cne damn about looking neat or modern in their uniforms. Oh! By the way, I finally found out why the television boxes were put in the classrooms. They were installed so that we might instruct the fresh- man orientation classes on just what we would like them to vote for when the local school-political campaign developes. This takes a great deal of pressure off me; I thought for a while it might have been to teach a conrse through. I read in the DAILY REFLECTOR last Thursday of the North Carolina Higher Board of Education's recom- mendation for the appropriation of $3,220,000 to E. C. C. for school ex- pansion. This "expansion" includes a proposed "expansion of Joyner Mem- orial Library including air-condition- ing, $303,000 Is some of this $803 000 going to be used to increase our badly defected stock of books? After all, it's the books and not the bricks that really count. Sincerely Bob Whiting Notice!

Cimpy Ixe Saturday Night Card Fray But Will Return By DERRY WALKER As was their Saturday night cue- fish from a pool. The Sheriff and , the four were seated at the Dapper watched perfunctorily as the last card fell, then with looks af resignation, picked them up and be- j.an rearranging them. Three hours and many deals passed. Cussin n' Discussin' So What? By NANCY LILLY torn round-top table, which was covered with Kelly Green felt. A shaded light from a dusty ceiling hung over their heads, and the ancient bulb in it dolled out yellow rays sparingly to the table and the men; the rest of the room was forgotten. Gimpy, as usual, chewed on an exhausted Tampa Nugget as he watched the card shuffling. His chins concealed his unbuttoned collar and the hole near the neck of his tee- shirt; now and then he squirmed in his chair to relieve the incessant itching of his huge rearcaused by the long handles his wife insisted on as soon as the first leaf fell in Fall. Across from Gimpy sat Sheriff Hackney, his sleeves rolled up, his ten-gallon hat tipped over one fuzzy black eyebrow, his eyes fixed on a sack of bull Durham and a paper with which he was rolling a smoke. To Hackney's right Dapper was counting his currency and muttering in his bookish tongue something about too many work hours in his day. He did look haggard; his greying hair was scattered scantily around the top "Well, dammit, can you open or .jot?" Gimpy snapped. "Calm yourself, Gimpy Dapper replied, "your latent inner tensions are showing. It's by me Hackney shoved twenty off-campus blanks torward. "I'll open he said. "I'm in Nose announced almost inaudibly, as he pushed twenty blanks in. "I'm in, and I'll just raise you ten Katsiases Gimpy snorted. Dapper lolded. "I'll see that and bump you five parking tickets Hackney returned as he pushed the currency toward the center of the table. "Wait a minute, are you in Nose?" i;impy inquired belligerently. "Naw, hell Nose answered, and folded his cards. Gimpy looked back at the Sheriff. "Well, whachagonnadd?" "I just raised you fat boy Hack- ney retorted. Gimpy remembered and cursed, then the two raised each of his head like sqggy Spanish moss, others bets for about five minutes His coat was wrinkled, and his Van lieusen had a stain on the front. He finished -counting and scowled across the table at Nose. Nose was engrossed in shuffling the cards; he enjoyed this, for he-had learned to do a few tricks in the process, like flipping them through the air with one hand and catching them in the other; this was more fun when Gimpy finally said: "I'm callin Dapper was tilting his chair back, watching; he had wanted to stay in, out he was down to his last five Umstead commode seats.

Some will remember it for the offices they won, others for the offices they lost. But chances are good Vice President Richard Nixon may remember it longest of all as the beginning of his political downfall. Most political observers agree if the Republicans had to nominate a successor to Eisenhower this very minute, Nixon would still get the nod. But these same observers hasten to point out that Nelson Rockefeller's startling victory in New York could have a very significant influence on ? heir choice two years from now. The vibrant enthusiasm and renewed hope his victory has generated through- out the party is ample proof to sup- port this belief. A few short weeks ago Nixon had the nomination sewed up tightly. All he had to do was follow his past nattern of allowing his beliefs to coincide with the President's and tak- ingonly a moderate stand on contro- versial issues. At that point, however, he conceived the idea that a more active participation in the coming campaign on his part would strength- en his position even more. He there- upon jumped headlong into battle, campaigning vigorously throughout the country and engaging in the Tru- man type of "Give 'm Hell" speeches in many instances. Other Republicans loon took the cue from him and followed suit with similar namecall- ing techniques. Their strong words failed to produce votes, however, and as is commonly known now, the en- tire campaign so closely associated with Nixon fell flat. Many Republi- cans actually blame the Vice-Presi- ent and his campaign methods for the party's feeble showing. Meanwhile, the race for Governor between Averill Harrlman and little- i-nowii Nelson 'Rockefeller was taking form in New York State. Governor Harriman's re-election was consider- ed such a sure thing at first that only the fact that both man ware millionaires aroused any interest. As the campaign progressed; however, it became more and more obvious that Rockefeller's magnetic personality M. CORBETT rnd ability to meet people were win- ning votes by the thousands. During the course of his campaign he isolated himself from the Republi- can party as much as possible, men- tioning the name only a few times. This proved to be a wise move. Fol when the votes were counted, the clarkhorse Rockefeller had supris- mgly unseated his Democrat oppon- ent. The amazing thing about the outcome was that Republican Rocke- feller had won at a time when his party was losing practically every other election in the country. . Many prominent Republicans have feared Nixon lacked the vote getting ability and supported him only be- cause they had no one better. Rocke- feller proved he has such ability and will certainly have a large number of Republicans who see him as a potent- ial President. The type of campaign he conduct- ed is another point in Rockefeller's favor. His methods were less noisy than Vice President Nixon's, but ! roved to be much more effective. Being a newcomer on the political scene may help him. And his financial position as a millionaire is certainly no handicap in the eyes of fellow Republicans. All things considered, Nixon appears to be in the unfamiliar position of having to gain the Re- publican nomination by achievement rather than heredity. Student NEA Meets Student NEA will hold its monthly meeting Wednesday, November 19 in Flanagan Auditorium at 0:80. The program will be mock job placement interviews. The four students to be interviewed will be Science Major, Elizabeth Ann Bowman; English Major, Jack Birmingham; Social Studies Major, Lucas Allen; and Elementary Edu- cation Major, Nancy Ann Fisher. Mr. Julius H. Rose, Superintendent of Greenville City Schools, and Mr. Arthur AbTord, Assistant Superintend- ent of Pitt County Schools, will con- duct the interviews. For the past few weeks there has been a lot of talk about East Carolina's intellect- ual climate. Teachers have commented on v. a few students have toyed with it, the SGA has paid it lip service. But nobody has offered any suggestion as to how such a climate can be improved or established. Iet me. First cf all, the basic problem is not a ack ot intellectuals and individuals. It is a lack cf guts. For some reason, be it imposed by the sch ol or the area or Southern tradi- tion, students here are afraid of their own voices. They will not speak out for what thev think, what they want, what they feel is right, or wrong. If they feel one way or another about any issue, thev keep it to them selves. There can be no climate unless there h s me show of feeling and beliefpositive or negative, good or bad. There must be some opinion, some stand, some feeling. There can be n climate in a vacumn. It is not that students here have no means of expression. That is what the news- paper is for. That is what the literary maga- zine is for That is what the SGA and stu- dent elections and campus votes are for. There are no chains about the necks o East Carolina Students. There are no Great White Fathers who hold the students voice- less in thtfr fists. Perhaps the students think -so Perhaps, even, there are some Great White Fathers who think so. But there aren't. This school belongs to the students, if the students want it. If the students wish, they can stand up and speak their feelings, they can print them in this paper, they can express tnem in the REBEL or in class or in other ways. The problem isn't that they can't make their presence felt. It is that they lack the guts to make the effort. If students think the parking situation here is lousy, they should say so. If they dislike the methods of Dean Tucker and Dean White, they should say so. If they think the curricula stinks or the food is bad or the teachers are stupid they should say so. J U hehavet riPs or praises to register, they should make them known. There are w ays. Twldl"0t advocat a " gripe campaign. 2SV Tu tWngs here.

Coach Jack Boone, seeking his se- cond North State crown, had his club apparently fired up at the start as the Bucs played outstanding defense and drove 55 yards for a touchdown. The lead was short-lived, however, as all hell broke loose midway the second period. The Lenoir Rhyne single-wing attack got clicking after I the officials had awarded the Brains with a couple of 15 yard penalties to set u their initial score.

Mrs. Riddick'9 job materialized a9 ECC recognized the first resident fraternity home here, the Pi Kappa Alpha house, located at 526 Cotanch St. Epsilon Mu Chapter officially opened the doors to their house for living aecomodations on September 6. and Mrs. Riddick's job was begun a few days later. The new housemother's son Mac Lancaster, an ECC graduate and iharter member of Epsilon Mu Chap- ter, is now teaching school in James- ville, N. C. When asked how she liked her job, Mrs. Riddick commented, "It certain- ly is a new experience for me, and, has proven to be 1 most wonderful one. 1 can't adequately express how much I have enjoyed it from the start. The boys are very nice; fun loving and mischievious, but real gentlemen The new home of Epsilon Mu Chap- ter is a fifteen-room brick edifice. It includes three bathrooms and two kitchens. At the rear of the structure i a frame two-car garage. Initial plans for obtaining the house were begun in late August of this year by the late Dr. Orval L. Phillips, with the aid of several of the chapter's brothers, Howard Bre- tt rs. Mabel Riddick wer, James Teachey, Roy Martin, . nd Tom Fallow. Noting the opening of the new Methodist Student Cen- ter, the men learned that the build- ing used formerly by that organiza- tion was available for leasing. After further investigation, the house was acquired for use by the fraternity. The budget by which the brothers maintain their home is one suggested by the national Pi Kappa Alpha office, and all operational expenses, maintenance, and other forms of su- ervision are carried on by the chap- ter officers with the support of the other members. "The new house pro- vides not only a home, but an oppor- tunity to learn the problems of house management and -other economic si- tuations which will be beneficial to 11s in later years commented Don Knight, treasurer of Epsilon Mu Chapter. When asked his opinion of the home, Pledgemaster Howard, Snuffy Brewer of the chapter an- swered, "A chapter home is the only real means of acquiring the true fraternity spirit sought by all fra- ternities Recently, the members of the chap- ter were hosts to the Pi Kappa Soro- lity of ECC at an informal social which took place in the chapter home. The girls were given a brief tour of the home after which they were served refreshments. Tom Farlow, i resident of Epsilon Mu Chapter, stated, "We wish to establish a friendly basis between our chapter and all sororities at ECC. We consi- der them a very important step in our school's progress At present eighteen of the twenty- eight members of the chapter are living in the home, and most of the other members, plus several of the fraternity's pledges are expected to move in at the beginning of Winter Quarter.

Education Week Calls For Re-Evaluation By BRUCE CARTER Since the ejection of the first Rus- sian satellite into outer space, a type of "Catch the iReds" hysteria has been prevalent in our country. In searching for the reason for an absence of any previous American satellite attempts, congressional in- vestigators have pointed their damn- ing fingers at numerous areas of direct concern. Coming within this withering crossfire has been our edu- cational system from the elementary level, up to and including college level instruction. Such phrases as ' Return to the Three Rs" and "Too many luxury courses or "More Emphasis on Science and Math" re- flect the intellectual confusion of onr critics. Educators, whether in one room schools or large universities have been compelled to re-evaluate their long range aims in education pnd shorter term course objectives. Specifically, why have we devoted our lives to developing the potential abilities of our students? Why have we tried through our own involvement in a si eciffc area to inspire our stu- dents Do we believe in the recogni- tion of intellectual freedom in all areas of learning? Do we actually recognize and meet the needs of our individual students or is it idealistic phraseology found only in some methods course? This re-evaluation does not apply solely to those educators presently engaged in teaching. Education ma- jors and practice teachers should be seriously concerned as for their spe- cific reasons for entering the teach- ing profession. Our profession already lias too large a share of Its "un- t'edicated baby sitters Those, who have taught in schools, know that the growth of a child is a slow, laborious, but very rewarding progress.

A child's growth is a natural process and is not limited to intellectual or physical changes. It also involves his preceptual de- velopment, emotional growth and creative development. Any crash pro- gram designed to produce a creative thinking scientist Is doomed to fail- ure. The creative individual is not the result of prizes, scholarships or tujerior recognition. To develop cre- ativity we must start with the child in the grades, and, by nurturing, mo- tivating, and challenging him, we shall moid a sensitive inquiring in- dividual through the meaningful growth process. Education week of 1958 is an ap- propriate time for all educators, ad- ministrators, and would-be teachers to closely examine their own phi- losophy of teaching and determine just bow it prepares an individual to c'evelop and maintain his stability in this apprehensive atomic era.

During spring quarter she was in Wisconsin and ('uring the summer she visited and observed in Missouri, West Virginia and New York. She also attended the international Home Economics Con- ference at the University of Mary- land. Even though Miss Kam is enrolled in several Home Economics courses at East Carolina, her main purpose while here is to observe rather than to learn. The Office of Education in Djaharta worked with the Office of Education in Washington in schedu- ling Miss Kam's visit so that she could spend every quarter at a different college. "East Carolina is not too big, and not too small, but it's just right' iej lied Miss Kam, when asked of her impression of our campus She thinks that the people in the South are much friendlier than they are in the North, and she feels that the climate is probably the main reason for this difference. She also said that the peop in the South walk slower and eat more rice than they do in the North. In connection with the academic life on campus, Miss Kam heartily approves of the close student-faculty relationship that is evident in Ameri- can schools. In Europe there is no close relationship of this kind to promote an' atmosphere conducive to learning. Miss Kam was very enthusiastic about our library with its many ooks. Since Indonesia has had its independence for only ten years, it is still striving to accomplish many important educational tasks. There is such a shortage of books in the language of the ople of Indonesia, that they are forced to use books PIE NIO KAM, Indonesian Professor on tour of U. S. Colleges, finds tiT not too big, not too small, "but juHt right from other languages, such as Dutch and English. This is one of the ma- jor obstacles to their educational pro- gress as she sees it. When asked about some of the differences in her ountry and ours, Miss Kam cited as an example the the American woman's pattern book. In America, women usually look through a pattern book just to de- cide which pattern they will buy, then they throw the pattern book away. In Indonesia the women use the pat- tern book as a guide to draw their vu patterns, so they are always in demand. The difference in the food is one of Miss Kam's dislikes, the food here is too rich and too sweet for her. Also because of the differ- ence in climate, all of the winter clothes which she bought in the U. S. will be useless when she returns u Indonesia, for they have summei all year long. Ifisi Kam s study at fcast Carolina College will conclude her visit tu the United States. The Sunday before Thanksgiving she will report to Washington, D. C, for a final report tf her observations. Even though lbs will receive a certificate for her studies at the various colleges and universities, it will be of no value in her country; her observations are oi i rimary importance. On her way back to Indonesia, where there is a critical shortage f teacheis, Miss Kam hopes tu travel through Europe, so that aha meet hei future mother-in-law Says Frank Landing: Book Publishing Is A Cut-Throat B usiness Author of the novel, WAR CRY at East Carolina as a freshman. OF THE SOUTH, W. Frank Land- ing spoke informally to students here last week and told would-be writers, "writing is hard work. It takes a lot of heart and postage Landing, who graduated from East Carolina College in 1953, published his novel six months ago "after work- ing on itsort offor 10 years The novel, which Landing terms "fictionalized history has been a tood seller, A native of Pfyjafch, Landing pSftf tribute to Nobel Prize-winner Boris Pasternak in his opening com- ments, tying into the theme of the meeting, National Book Week. Moving on, the slender English Instructor at Rose High School of Greenville, said, "I'm not a profes- sional writer. I started writing here What writing I've done since then has been done merely out of interest. It is a hobby. "Maybe someday I will be a pro- fessional writer. But not now. A pro is one who makes his living writing. And that's pretty hard to do Landing told the group that he has learned some things "in this business of writing and getting a book published" which he amited to "a? on for what it was worth. "Publishing is a cut-throat busi- ness he stated. "The people who publish books care absolutely nothing about beginning your literary career or furthering it or whether you even have one or not. They are business- men. They are interested in publish- ing what will sell He continued, "Sometimes the best We Specialize in Casual Hair Styling for College Coeds FRIENDLY BEAUTY SHOP 117 W. 4th Street Dial 2668 and SUBURBAN BEAUTY SALON E. 10th Street Ext.

There are many good books which publishers won't touch simply because they're too long, oi too short, or perhaps it isn"t the tight season. Sometimes they will publish a book that isn't very good, but which is easy to read, or which is concerned ith a subject interest ing to a lot of peojle " Landing left the group these ofi H9d comments on the writing-and publishing struggle. "Having a book published is not where a writer makes his real money. That comes in afterwards, when the writer sells either the story or the idea to movies or television or the stage. If you depend upon book sales alone, it'll take a long, long time tu get wealthy "1 always make an outline a dia gran -of a story before I write it At least I do now. I didn't do that for the novel before, but I've found out that it helps a lot. This way you can start writing anywhere . .I'm working on a second novel now.
