The new arrangement of steps and neither the size not the capacity of sidewalk will add safety and con- venience in providing a better passageway for traffic while giv- ing better protection to the stu- dents. Lobby Floor of Terrazzo All of the wooden steps inside of Wright will be replaced, and a new lobby floor ?f terrazzo will be laid. In addition, the front porch which is badly cracked at present, will be replaced with a new con- crete floor. New aluminum front doors are to be installed in place of the pre- sent wooden doors. The old "tilt- ing" windows that art? presently inside Wright will be replaced with steel casement windows. When asked about the possibility of having the inside of Wright painted, Mr. Duncan explained that painting is not included in the present contract with Leo Hawkins of Greenville. All EC buildings, however, are repainted jeriodically; and Wright may be repainted next year after the al- terations are made. Contrary to campus rumors.

Tano Leaves Cuban Homeland; Joins EC Foreign Language Faculty Everyone in the U. S. today is very interested in the Cuban situa- tion. Perhaps one of the most con- cerned persons on the EC campus is Miss Raquel Tano. Cuba is Miss Tano's homeland, and until less than a year ago she had lived her entire life there. Young and quite attractive, Miss Tano is a member of the faculty in the Foreign Language Department. This is her first quarter at EC She teaches iSpanish with the ex- tension at Cherry Point and Golds- boro and one class of Spanish on campus. Upon arriving in the U.S she came first to Lexington, N. C. to the home of her brother. After studying English in Wilson, she accepted her ;pksition here. Dislikes Castro's Government Before leaving Cuha, she was a high school teacher for five years in the province of Caanaquey, about 400 miles from Havana. She went to Havana last year with her two mall nephews, prepared her pap- ers, and iflew to the U.S. in Novem- ber. She left Cuba because she did not like Castro's government. According to Miss Tano, daily life in 'Cuba was changed greatly since Castro caime to power. She says that many people who knew Cuba before Castro do not like his government. Many people were disappointed in Castro. They real- ized soon after he came to power that they had been wrong in their sqiprort of him and began to leave Cuba. Those people favoring Cas- j it difficult for Miss Tano to discuss tro, however, are strong in his sup- : the American blockade of Cuba, port. Miss Tano says that life in!

It is directed to those who are attending the institution with the idea of uti- lizing their education in an effort to serve humanity It is directed to those whose pulse for social action has not as yet been aborted by social apathy. It is directed to those who search the campus for a cause, a crusade. It is directed to these because those who are acquainted with the mood of the college don't want such freshmen. We feel that the ideas expressed in this editorial are worth considering by the students of East Carolina College. The editorial, as it appeared, follows: We don't want you because we don't want the world changed and, even if we did, realize the futility of it all. We don't want you because we don't want to serve humanity. We haven't the time nor means. We are con- cerned with problems of immediate circumstance?our own. We don't want you because you pervert the word "social" You apply it to Man; we apply it to men?us. We are not apathetic. We just cannot afford involvement. We don't want you because causes and crusades are products of idle dreamers. What good are peace marches, sit-ins political rallies? We are concerned with working toward a financially comfortable future, not a peaceful present. We don't want you because you might puncture the ego-inflated baHoon of petty righteousness we call our campus mood. We are happy in our situation. We are concerned with May poles rather than atomic bombs; picnics rather than civil rights movements; personal gratification rath- er than Berlin walls. We quibble about dining hall quality while half the world's people go hungry. We adjust our behavior to our peers while our Gods go forgotten on the shelf. We see a brother hungry and we feed him not, naked and we offer no clothing, unsheltered and we do not open the door. But this is our way. This is what college has con- ditioned us to. We don't want it to change. Go home and take your causes and social concerns with you. We don't want you. Or perhaps you might remain and deliver us from ourselves.

It is interesting sometimes, par- ticularly at the present, to notice and observe some of the student's opinions concerning: world situa- tions. We speak primarily now of the recently Cuban crisis which has undoubtedly caused more student concern than all of the so called "Berlin Crisises" combined. The matter is, we feel, one which can- not be ignored because of its ob- vious intensity, but as the situation seems to be, as far as the student body is concerned, and here we speak mainly of the male sect, there is an almost manic urge to take up arms and go fight some- body. It doesn't matter who we fight as long as we fight somebody
