They will be used to speed up and improve registration and decrease the amount of time required to process students' grades at the end of each quarter. At present 2-3 weeks are needed to prepare grade sheets to be sent out. In the future, if all professors turn in their grades at a design- ated time, the grade sheets will be ready for mailing in 12 hours, a saving of approximately 125 hours. These IBM machines will also be used in publishing class rolls for instructors and in keeping stu- dents' permanent records. They will furnish statistics which are requested by boards of higher ed- ucation, the Department of Health and Education, and accrediting as- sociations which moist complete an- nual reports. This new system will not decrease the amount of help needed, only the amount of time required in getting work done. Tedious (hand- work will be replaced by job shif- ting.

Deans Remind Students Of New Absence Policy Students are reminded, as of January 15, that they are person- ally responsible for reporting their excused absences to the appropri- ate dean's office (Dean of Men, Dean of Women). Only forms which have been properly endorsed by the Dean's Office will be accepted. Requests for excused absences from class must be made not later than one week after the student returns to class. When the num- rr of absences in any course for pvalid reasons exceeds the num- ber of ciedit points earned in that o"rse. one quality point will be deducted for each excess absence. Er?h student, in order to avoid possible point deduction, must re- port his absence or absences not later than one week after the ab- sence has occurred. ?tor. Requests for this project were first made in 1958 and have been refused until this fall when plans were finally granted. Dr. John Home, registrar, re- ports that he is "looking forward to getting the machines. It is go- ing to be a lot of headaches to get it working efficiently, but it will speed up registration pro- cedures Elects Queen On Saturday, February 10, a new queen will 'be selected to reign over the Future Business Leaders of America's annual Valentine Dance. The semi-formal, one of the five major dances of the year, will last from 8:00-12:00 p.m. in Wright Auditorium. Music will be provided by the Collegians Dance Band. During intermission, the candi- dates for queen and their escorts, will perform a dance figure, and the new queen will then be crowned by last year's Valentine Dance queen, Miss Ann Kopley. Tickets for the dance will be one dollar, stag or couple, and the purcthase oi? a ticket entitles the holder to :l votes for a new queen. Mary Helen Mumford, president of FBLA. urges each organization sponsoring a candidate for the Valentine Dance queen to have sub- missions- in by Wednesday, Jan- uary 31. Pictures of the candidates will be displayed at the dance. Johl, Newberry Share Leads In 'Faust' Opera .?? The opera "Faust to be presented in McGinnis Audi- torium on February 10 and 11, will feature the talents of Peter Johl and Bill dewberry, both students of the music department. Newberry will appear in the title role of Faust on Satur- day night, February 10. Johl will portray this character the following night. This is Bill's first major oper- atic appearance at E.C. He has sung in high school operas before coimang here. "Faust is the biggest chal- By BILL DUVAL by Gounod, lenge that I've ever had in this field' exclaimed Bill.

He also appeared in the world premiere of "The Hired Hand the libretto of which was based on a poem of the same name, by Robert Frost. Last year Peter played the lead male role in the Spring Musical, "South Pacific and also sang a leading role in the opera, "The Old Maid and the Thief The role of Faust, an aged phil- osopher who sells his soul to the 3cvil, presents many challenges to both performers.

It presents' many challenges ? not only of a vocal nature but also of an acting one The deadline for letters of application for the editorship of the East Carolinian for Spring Quarter and Fall and Winter Quarters of the 1962-63 school year is February 9, 1962. Letters should be di- rected to Dr. James Tucker, Chairman, Publications Board, Administration Building. Page 2 E AST CAROLINIAN Fr w R ace An swers u om n Proble umar cm We fear to dwell on the subject any longer, but never- theless, criticism of an article appearing in the January 19 issue of the East Carolinian concerning the University of Illinois professor, Dr. Leo Koch, and his stand in hetero- sexual relations for college students is still creeping in. Due to this criticism, we would like to bring to light another view expressed on the topic by a coed at the State College of Iowa in the campus newspaper, The College Eye. We neither endorse the opinion of (the coed, nor sanction it for approval by college students . . . the, same stand we assumed when we printed the article released by Campus Illustrated and concerning Dr. Koch. Remember Koch said, "Sexual intercourse, with modern contraceptives and medical advice, readily available, should be condoned among college studenjts sufficiently mature to engage in it In a qualifying statement Dr. Koch added, "College students can no longer avoid sex. They should participate selectively. To be specific, they should not sex without con- traceptives; 'they should not sex for the wrong reasons On these statements, the Iowa coed begins to ellaborate, "So college students are now so infantile that they should not be prevented from gratifying any of their desires. So it's unhealthy not to have anybody's normal desires grati- fied, at once and without fail. "But, like a mother tucking a clean hanky into her little girl's pocket on 'the way to a dancing lesson, Dr. Koch warns us all not to go out and 'sex' for the 'wrong reasons or with strangers, or if the act might fulfill its natural func- tion and produce a child. "Of course, we suppose if we were really in dire circum- stances and didn't have anybody around that we know. Dr. Koch probably wouldn't mind if we had relations with a stranger or two. But illegitimate children could be incon- venient. He doesn't seem to define what the 'wrong reasons' would be. It seems to us that this whole idea leads to a 'brave new world' philosophy of let's-all-be-well-adjus)ted-and-norm- al-and-heaithy-and-fully-satisfied-and-not-think, which we find very frightening. Dr. Koch's ideas are, to us, a denial of all that separates human beings from the lower animals. Isn't it normal to be frustrated once in awhile? Doesn't a certain amount of frustration lead to maturity and self- control0 Isn't it good for adolescent development to exercise a little self-restraint? Is it wrong to decide that some things are worth waiting for? Isn't our society at least more or less monogamous? Isn't the whole process of having children sacred and private? "Because if it isn't we will quietly withdraw from the human race in disgust And with this conclusion we wonder if the Iowa coed is frightened, as she infers, and if she didn't somehow miss the point. Well, we take no issue . . . simply found it in- teresting. Tiny Germ-Like Friends Avoid Infirmary 'Comforts9 With the flu epidemic reaching its peak this week, we've noticed many whispering, rasping, and drippy-nosed students, as well as instructors, still battling it out . . . too stubborn to give up. We wonder why? Obviously the campus germ-infested populace would do well to take its tiny germ-like friends (to the infirmary. But. no. Students prefer not to give up or is it give in ? Imagine an infirmary at a school somewhere up north (and there is one) where it is almost impossible to get visiting gtwdents (who allows visitors . . . that's enough to imagine) out of the rooms. The comfort is so comfortable there. Students at the afore mentioned school are asking for cold germs so they will be allowed admittance to the in- firmary. Ah . . . such is life! Well, we can dream, can't we? Jenk Essei ins ie R Athl Part Of Ed (Reprinted from the Greensboro Daily News) EAST CAROLINA'S action in serving notice that it will with- draw from the Caroiinas Confer- ence, effective as of June 30, was about the only course of action the college could take when presidents of other conference members Mon- day reaffirmed their intention of retaining the limitations on athletic scholarships which they earlier had adopted. It was obvious from the begin- ning that the Greenville College could not operate its athletic pro- gram as it desired under these limitations. lAind as it became more apparent that East Carolina eventually would be accepted for member- ship in the Southena Conference, :t also became more apparent that the college would not operate under these limitations and thus jeop- ardize its opportunity to move up in athletic circles. Therein lies a bit of thinking which is somewhat strange in these days when de-emphasis of colleg- iate athletic programs is being de- manded in many circles and when any increase in emphasis is viewed 'dueators with something akin to suspicion some quarters.
