Since college regula- tions require a student to attend at .east 7,r per cent of his class meetings to receive full credit for a course, these absences could mean a loss in quality points. Some of the students took extra Cllta to supplement- their income be- fore the Christmas holidays. The party the students were found guilty of participating in was held is an off-campus residence rented by the four male students whe were suspended earlier. During the party, residents of the neighborhood in which the house is located complained to Greenville police about the noise. City olice, authorities, notified cam- pus police, who in turn notified Dr. James H. Tucker, Dean of Men, and dormitory counselors. The college personnel went to the house, with the city police, and found the party in progress. Dr. Messick said no misconduct, other than drink- ing was observed.

Roger Wagner Chorale Peter Viereck, who won the Pulit- zer Prize for poetry, will come to East Carolina next month. The famous contempoary poet, who is also a professor of history at Mt. Holyhoke College and won the Pul- itzer Prize in 1949 for his book "Terror and Decorum will appear in connection with tha Danforth Pro- ject Lecture series Feburary 16, 17, and 18. Dr. Viereck, who is recognized as brilliant historian, will speak the first night on the American Dilemma: Preserving Inner Liberty in a Ma- chine Age. On the 17th he will deliver a lecture on Anti-Americanism in Europe: Causes and Perhaps Cures. On the final night he will give a reading of his poems with a commen- tary on the literary and social prob- 'pms involved. The committee arranging for Dr. Vereck's visit to the campus has be- gun work on a program which will enable the guest to come in contact with the people on the campus. Other than the formal lectures, Dr. Viereck will visit classrooms and in- I formal bull sessions. Dr. Frank L. Hoskins of the English Department will head the committee, Dr. Hubert Coleman of the Social Studies depart ment, and Bryan Harrison, editor of THE REBEL will also serve on the committee. Dr. Viereck has written a number of books on history and philosophy. Among them are "MetapoliticsFTom Romantics to Hitler "Conservatism Revisited and recently "The Un- adjusted Man, A New Hero for America A part of "The Unadjusted Man" was published in tha November 1, 1968 issue of Saturday Review. Dr. George A. Douglas announced that the Danforth Committee has ordered Katsias Calls For Increase In Student Powers In Discipline SGA President Mike Katsias has announced plans for a complete re- r-ganization of the student constitu-j tion, especially the judicial systems. Katsias stated that any member of the Men's Judiciary who did not want to work for its strengthening and re- organization should resign immedi- ately. Bill Jenkins, former chairman of the Men's Judiciary, was recently sus; ended from school for his part in the much publicized off-campus party held in an apartment he shared with three other students. Katsias says this action is a di- rect outcome of the concern and in- terest shown by students during the few days since the party incident which resulted in the suspension of 51 students for disciplinary reasons. Among the students Katsias has chosen to work with him on reorgani- zing the constitution are Bryan Harri- son, Fred Ragan, (Robert R. Johnson, and Jack McCann. Student apathy and the "patch-up constitution now in use is to blame for both the party incident and other recent incidents which have cause the unrest among students, claims Kat- sias. "Perhaps said Katsias, "if the student judicial system here had been strong enough to deal with this sort of thing in the past this party inci- dent would not have happened. Now that it has happened, the students are arroused and calling for expla- nations and rights and satisfaction. But this thing is over. Nothing can be done about it now. All we can do now is to work on a new system so that similar incidents can be avoided He said, "More than anything else, what has happened here means a challenge to the student body to do Jenkins Says New Courses ill Be Added BOB JOHNSON . . . says.

Vice President and Dean of In- struction Leo W. Jenkins has just announced that plans for the new orogram are well underway. Efforts, he said, are being directed toward of- f ring courses, with emphasis upon rentiired courses, which will be of value to undergraduates working to ward a degree and teachers interested in raising their certificates. (Scheduling of a number of courses at hours convenient to people unable to attend classes during the regular school day is expected to benefit many who do not now hold degrees, espe- cially to teachers), Dr. Jenkins ex plained. .(The new series of undergraduate courses will be offered by East Caro lina College in addition to the pro gram of graduate work now being given in the afternoon or at night), Dr. Jenkins stated. (A large number of teachers and other students who are working toward the master's de- gree are now participating in this graduate program), he said. Already announced in the new ser les of afternoon and night classes for the spring quarter are the following courses for undergraduates: Applica tion of Science to Industry and Com merce, Geography of Canada, Ad vanced English Grammar and Com esition, Practices and Procedures in Health for Elementary Schools, Child ren's Literature, and World History to 1500. In response to demand, other courses may be added.

JAMES CORRETT The abrupt decision of Soviet Premier Mikoyan to cut short his visit to the U. S. and return home last week brought to a disap- pointing climax the period of hope that had prevailed since the trip was announced. Peace-loving people all over the world had hoped th it somehow a method would be un- covered during the trip that would lead to an eventual settlement of the cold war. Unfor- tunately such a development did not occur. The plain truth of the matter is that Mik- ovan's journey produced next to nothing in the way of tangible remedies for the problem. The entire trip was pretty well summed up in the words of press secretary James Hager- ty immediately following the Eisenhower- Si ikoy an conference at the White House. "Don! get out your pencils he told repor- ters, "I haven't got much referring to the results of the meeting. He went on to say in effeci that both the President and Secretary of Stale Dulles considered the discussion use- ful, which judging from past similar remarks, was simply a convenient way of saying the meeting was pleasant but unproductive. Only one thing to which any importance at all can be attached developed from the visitor's talks while in the country. Mikoyan hinted to several people that Khrushchev's ultimatum giving the West six months in which to pull its troops out of West Berlin did not have to be taken too seriously. For many people even this disclosure was hardly surprising because of a widespread belief all .long that the Communist boss was merely bluffing when he issued the statement. Pari of the disappointment felt by the public upon the Premier's departure was brought on by the public itself. Both the Kremlin and Washington stressed the fact that his primary purpose for being here was to talk over trade relations. People every- where, however, had recognized the political potentialities his presence here held and had allowed themselves to believe great things would spring from it. Many people, high officials as well as citizens, still feel that regardless of how the visit was publicized, it had primarily a poli- tical motive. And considering the compara- tive! v small amount of time the Premier spent on the subject of trade, it is highly possible these individuals are right. Iack of agree- ment between the two countries could easily account for the lack of visible results. Whatever Mikoyan's motive was. trade politics, the result could hardly be less noteworthy. Perhaps the visit will go down on record as just another one of the many opportunities the U. S. and Russia have had to settle their differences but failed so miser- v to take advantage of. Protests Bring Results Following the suspension of 51 students connected with an off-campus unchaperoned party, about 100 students met last week. They met to protest the expulsion of t1 e students, but after the meeting discussed the tighten- ing and rewording of the Student Govern- ment Constitution. After the meeting SGA President Mike Katsias said that he would work with several responsible students in the organization of a new constitution, "one which will be strong, reported and efficient, and which will let the students know exactly where they stand Perhaps this means that the general stu- dent public has come to realize at long last that the SGA Constitution is not just a bunch of formal sounding words, but a document which concerns every student on this campus. Students claim they want a constitution that will state specifically what they can or cannot do, and what will happen if they do not com pi v. Perhaps students will be more wary of whom they elect to SGA posts. Perhaps they will pay more heed to one's platform and convictions and less to his charming person- ality. Perhaps students will realize what an important unit the SGA and the Senate can be if it is run by the right kind of people and supported by those who elect the people who run it.

Member Columbia Scholastic Press Asociation Associated Collegiate Presa Intercollegiate Press North Slate Conference Press Association Penalty Unfair? Who's To Blame? By BRYAN HARRISON Apparently the campus is in a state of crisis. (This column was written on Monday.) Last Thursday some jokt rot the idea that the students ought to hold a mass meeting. The students showed up, but the charact- ers that started it chickened out. It was disqustiag. It was like a fixating fuse on what could have been the biggest bombshell to ever ex- plode on the campus. The fact that the students were enraged about something seemed en- couraging to me. There were about 75 at SO there. They just sat there while one fellow got up and suggested they go home. After the meeting a tight knot of students gathered and proceeded to the SGA office to see what could be done about a "legal" mass meeting. Under the provision in the con- stitution, it is practically impossible to hold one. President Katsias immediately de- cided the students needed a new con- stitution as well as a new mass meet- ing. The result was yesterday's meeting which was called by Dr. Messick on a request from Katsias. Also a com- mittee lias been appointed to re-write the constitution. But meetings, and constitutions will do little good unless the students take some initiative to govern them- selves. Obviously the students were enraged over the administration's action regarding the suspension of some fifty-one students. Personally I felt the punishment given those students was unfair, but students can hardly blame the ad- ministration for taking action them- selves rather than leaving it to the students. Por the students have made no real attempt this year to enforce their own rules. The shocking example is the Men's Judicary. According to the SGA President, the Men's Judicary has tried only one case this year. Shortly before the mass suspension the President of the Men's Judicary resigned and what was left of it existed only on paper. According to the present student constitution, stu- dents should be tried by the judici- aries before going to the Disciplinary Committee. The men's judiciary is a farce. Obviously the administration doesn't ?rust it enough to let it try a case. The students should have two strong judicial bodies and try every case regarding student conduct. The only way they can get them is to elect them. This whole thing falls right back to the students. If the administration is governing the students it is be- cause they can't govern themselves. Whether or not the administration had a right to break up somebody's party isn't the rint here. That is another question. The point is, what have the students done to prevent the undeniably miserable social atmos- phere on this campus? When the students answer that question with action they can begin blaming Dean Tucker and Dean White. But not until then. Hark, Let's Go There! . ' Tm& N6T These: a ittt &n$TT my &&vef r if fu Mickey Mouse Clubbers Drag Others Down By PERRY WALKER ) Visions Of Castro Charged Thru His Head Six huge hellicoptors swirled around the campus like a family of buzzards. They finally lit on the soft green grass. iAll doors of the coptors opened at the same time. Bearded men got out in an orderly fashion. They assembled around one man who was speaking Spanish quietly. They called this man Castro, or something like that. After a short briefing, the man followed their leader toward a red brick building. They all carried vio- lin cases. Castro carried two violin cases. In single file, the men en- tered the building. After spending fifteen minutes in conference with the College Displi- nary Board, the bland faced men followed their leader to the center of the campus where 4956 students stood as rigid as a hundred rows of fence posts. The only sound was the wind blowing through the trees and the flipping of clips on the violin cases. The sky was a deep gray and the air was as crisp as virgin electricity. Castro was now standing tali at one end of the campus. His henchmen were lined up evenly in front of the mass of sober faced students. The wind stopped blowing and the sky got darker. Castro began count- ing. "Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, FIRE The simultaneous blasting of mach- ine guns filled the air with the screaming of young students who by BOB HARPER were dropping like half wet towels. The smooth, green carpet grass be- came crimson with fresh, warm blood.

Nerve Gas Creates Humane Wa By JEAN ANN WATERS You think you're pretty safe from madmen, enemy invasion, don't you? Well, don't be too sure. Did you know that a new gas has been discovered which might be used to render the inhabitants of an entire city perfectly helpless? It does not kill; that is not the purpose. It acts upon your mind, de- stroying your ability to think ration- ally, breaking down your will to fight. This nerve jjas as it is called, causes temporary insanity accompanied by delusions and halucinations. You can't fitfht it, because you don't realize you are acting strangely. Neither dees anyone else; they are acting in the same strange way. The effect of the gas lasts about six hours, just long enough for an enemy army to move in and take over a city after the population had been converted into a mob of Irritating Breath Thus we have a new kind of war a humane one, at least war without bloodshed, victory without violence. Instead of conquering your body, they conquer your mind. They im- prison your soul, and you can do nothing about it. What next? From man's beginning, the struggle for power has been one of the fore- most drives in the mind. From throw- ins? rocks and swinging clubs, he baa progressed to subtler methods of war- fare.

His answer was unique, if not entirely explicit. First, he must be quoted as saying that he issued no orders as to what the newspaper could and could not print; he only "requested" that items and expressions not in "good taste' insofar as the people of North Caro- lina are concerned be deleted. There was absolutely no threat nor command involved. This gentleman impressed upon me the fact that he only had the better interest of East Carolina Col- lege at heart, and that he is ever mindful of the prestige of the college as an institution of education. The pretty words caused me to soften foT an instant. Then came Hiroshima! An announcement affecting the ego of every student on this campus was issued. It stated that there would be no goodnight kisses, embraces, or anything else which might be con- strued as anything but the most sub- tle hint of attraction between males and females at East Carolina. One may ask why. The answer came to me like a ripping and ugly lightening flash. I had my answer when. I sooke to the official about freedom of the How small can an individual get? How much can an individual bow to the pressures of the common masses? The answer came with this new rul- ing; a ruling which is seeking to teaT down the principles set up with the creation of male and female. And what will happen if we ignore this ruling? Why, our dating privileges will be REMOVED! "Oh, they might as well go chasing after moonbeams, or light a penny candle from a star Yours truly, Larry B. Craven Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Bob Lewis -on the recent editorial in the BAST OAROLINIAN. I admire Bob for stating his opinion on one of East Carolina's new founded sorority girls. In addition I feel as if I should give my opinion. My opinion is: This so-called soro- rity girl is not one that I like to have dealings with. I know of nothing that makes my blood pressure rise than to know of someone who thinks they are superior. I think a girl of this kind is too immature to be pre- sented to the public and is a social outcast among human beings. I am referring to the overheard conversa- tion of one of our seniors and a visi- tor on our campus when the visitor press. Tt concerned "good taste" as asked the senior if he was a frat man. Opinions expretaed on the editorial page those of the editorial staff and do no reflect the views of the faculty, student body. defined by the average citizen of Greenville and North Carolina. The average citizen, who has an inferior education to the students of this col- lege, dictates our "good taste "No interrupted this superior rush- ee, "he is one of those nobodies at East Carolina If statistics are true the "nobodies on this campus have a better moral character than these high fluting follies. I think sororities are fine organize- tions if well organized and well dis- ciplined, but when they are present at these unchaperoned parties they are getting out of hand and losing their reputation. I wonder if this girl is a fine example of her parents. I had the chance to become a "some- body" but turned it down and I am still a "nobody but, as of yet, I have felt no social pressure as this girl seemed to be trying to exert in her opinion. In closing, I would like to say that we "nobodies" are quite happy and proud to admit that we don't belong to club 51. Sincerely, Jimmy H. Fields (Editor's note: Mr. Lewis' letter was not run as an editorial, bput as a letter to the editor.) Dear Editor: I am writing you in reference to the newly posted ultimatum in each of the girl's dorms. I quote here one para- graph from this: "We are asking you to refrain from any good-night kisses, embraces, or and display of affection in public. We are asking you not to loiter at front doors, nor on the porches at closing time. If you per- sist in doing so, your dating privileges will be withdrawn Please let me say at this point that I, too, have seen some "public dis- plays of affection" on this campus that have given me some reason to he a little shocked myself, and I can readily understand why the admini- stration would prefer this to be stopp- ed BUT, there are several things that I feel very strongly about. Does the administration believe that a good- night kiss is really wrong? Do they really believe that an ultimatum such as this latest one is going to be car- ried out, without anything else taking the place of a good-night kiss? I heard a conversation the other day that went something like this: First girl: Can't they see that it is practically driving us to the woods? When you are wearing a guy's pin and have been for a year, do they really think that you're going to stop kissing him good-night?

The administration wants us to act and believe like adults. BUT HOW CAN THEY EXPECT US TO DO SO, W1HEN THEY INSIST ON TREAT- ING US LIKE CHILDREN? Yours jprely, iorrfff mmss iF,m Have you ever noticed the irritating way some people breathe? It's not very notieable unless you K closely. There are some psychologists who claim that you can tell a person's personality by the way he breathes. They say that a person who breathes with a hiss is usually a quiet, reserved, shy person. There is a completely logical and phy- sical reason for this: usually one who breath- es with a hiss in his nose does so be- am he has either a nose clogged with an over growth of hair or sinue. This causes him to have difficulty in speaking (because he must breathe through his nose) and therefore renders him quiet and somewhat shy. Then there is the person who breathes with a snore. These people are numerous. They sound like a hoard of pigs rootin?. Many of these kind of people can be seen walking arcund and they may sometimes ap- pear to be sleep walking. Usually, these people have a deformity of the nose. The piece of cartilage which separates the two nostrils of this person is very delicate and thin and vibrates when air is drawn inward or forced outward, pro- ducing a throbbing song-like sound. This per- son is usually insecure since childbirtha fact which an be determined by the thin fiber of the nose. Psychologists figure that this thin fiber is due to the child's picking his nose at a young age, due to worry, frus- tration, unhappiness. Then there is the person who breathes without making a noise. This kind of person is usually crafty, evil, who tries- to sneak about, doing things behind people's backs. This is characteristic of the neurotic who does not wish others to know he is nearthus, he breathes softly. And there are those who breathe through their mouths. Those people are usually manic depressives who have long repressed a desire to bite their mothers. As a child, this person began breathing through his mouth, hoping to suck in flies or other insects and event- ually his mother. Then there is the short, choppy breath- er who makes everybody else tired just watch- ing. This person is a paranoic who believes the world is against them. Therefore, as a means of irritating all his acquaintances, he breathes this way. Finally, there is the person who breathes only in long sighs. Subconsicously, this per- son has a death-wish fixation and hopes eventually to stop breathing and die of mal- function of the breathing apparatus. I tarn .

Second- ly, I would ask the reader to re- member that what I am writing ! about is a translation. Since I am an educated man, I refuse to accept anyone's, even the Nobel committee's, opinion of a work of art until I have had a look, or a listen, myself. Fair enough So I read DR. ZHIVtAGO in translation, uneondensedand unhomogenized! My verdict is that while the book is beautiful and interesting and worth- while, it is not a novel of the first ank. Please rermit me to explain. In explaining, however, I must say that art is NOT life. It is truer than life and transcends life while it is about life. The characters In a first rate novel come to life for us as no ne we actually know ever quite does. And this is the tragedy of life. Also it is the glory of art and one of the reasons we need art as desperate- ly, really, as we need bread. Art shows us how the world and mainly people, ourselves, can be. In bringing -is insights about the world and about ourselves, the artist renders us an invaluable service 'Potting Shed' Stars Comment On Roles They Have In Play BORIS PASTERNAK . . . famed Rus- sian author.

Tackle Cooke Out For 1959 Season Sophomore tackle Charlie Cooke was almost definitely counted out of Coach Jack Boone's 1959 gridiron plans as the head tutor prepared to get winter drills under way at full scale this week Cooke, a regular for the two sea- sons and hailed as one of the North State Conference's most promising young stars, dropped out of school during the Christmas holidays for financial reasons. The loss came as a big shock to Coach Boone who stated that the loss of Cooke would leave a big gap to fill. "He was a real strong boy and had really improved since hia first ear here. The Pirates were slated to start work outside this past Monday, pro- viding good weather was on hand. Winter drills are slated to last to the early part of March and will be cli- maxed by an Alumni game.

With the Panthers bowing to Elon 62-59 Monday night for their first conference loss of the season, the Ca- tamounts kept their record unsullied with two victories to claim undisputed lead in the league. Western Carolina pushed its con- ference mark to 8-0 and its season record to 15-1. The Cats have lost only to Georgetown of Kentucky.

Seven more conference contests remain on the Catamounts schedule. They meet High Point only once in loop competition. Appalachian's Mountaineers moved up a notch into fourth place with two victories during the week.

CVa area. Time and time again the Bucs found themselves off key in that they were on the short end of the running score 15 times before it was all over. Jessel Curry, Greenville's Ike Rid- dick, and Charlie Adams supplied most of the offensive power for the Pirates as Curry hit for 21, Riddick with 19 and Adams with 18. Joe Plaster had 11 and Nick Nichols 5 points. A Bparee crowd of some 1,000 fans witnessed what almost turned out to be a home team victory over the Greenville visitors. Their big pride was a 6 foot 4 inch product of Wood- row Wilson High School named Phil Robbins. It was Robbins who kept Bynum in the game with his rebounds and fabulous hook shots. Robbins was high man for both teams as he netted 24 big points. He and Paul Wetherbee seemed to virtually come through every time Bynum needed the all im- portant points to stay up with EC. Weatherbee had 19 for his night's work. See-Saw Battle A close look at the actual scoring and the time involved would look like this. East Carolina took a quick 6-0 lead with Adams, Curry and Riddick all hitting on their first attempts. Then Bynum took over the ball until they dumped six points through and with five minutes gone in the first half the score stood at 6-6. It was again tied 10-10 after seven minutes, and 19-19 after 10 minutes of play had passed.
