College Environment: "Here a host of requirements and exams tall too often induce the undergraduate to 'think small to concentrate on clearing each hurdle in the aca- demic obstacle race rather than thinking widely and imaginatively about the world around hrim. 'If he resists the system to whom can he make complaints? We pro- fessors frequently are inaccessible to the student and even more fre- quently are content merely to fill the student full of professional know- how. At the same time, we decry the absence of creative enterprise among studentsas if the absence weren't our fault Social Factors: "When a college student looks aft the vast impersonal processes of our society and humbly tasks himself where he can fit in, he is not simply being a conformist. Perhaps he is also being realistic. Perhaps he sees that we live in a so- ciety which organizes intelligence ever more closelym society where opportunities for individual initia- tive or for the exercise of talent on one's own terms have actually de- creased. Modern communioation and stan- dardization . . . have had one un- happy effect on college Kfe. We no longer get those diamonds-in-the- rough who provided such joy for the teacher those boys and girls from drfferent traditions, backgrounds, 'unspoiled' by more effete, modern wiays, but intelligent tand eager, ready to shine under the teacher's hand. "Today the boy from the lower East Side and the girl from Chest- nut Level arrive with relatively the same mannerisms and material bag- gage; differences remain, but it has become harder and much less in- teresting to tell where a student comes from . . . Today's students live in a less differentiated society; there are simply fewer patterns with which to conform The Cold War: "The climate of the Cold War is one of rigidity, a state in which people feel they must not move lest something snap. Stu- dents at any rate, tend to see pre- sent arrangements in our society as likely to persist indefinitely, provid- ed we are not all exterminated. "One does not hear much intellect- ual discussion on campus for the simple reason that there is not very much to discuss. For the time be- ing, we are in the cultural and in- tellectual doldrums. This I would set down as a major source of the current student lethargy. Not only are they not inspired by the scholar- ship on which their teachers wfflly- nilty participate; they are put to sleep by it Gym Club Meets The East Carolina College Gym- nastics Club, which had its begin- ning last year, wMl hold its first meeting Tuesday, October 27, at 4.30 in room 108 (small gym) of Memorial Gymnasium.

' 2east Carolinianfriday, October 23, 1964 Socialize Organize We were talking to someone recently who was bemoaning the fact that he is in charge of a club, but still has to do most of the work. When asked why he did not delegate the authority to someone else, he answered that he does not have enough qualified members. It seems the people who are interested and have the ability are in a majority of the campus organizations. Since they are in numerous positions they cannot give the proper amount of attention cc each one. In this way, the group suffers. We realize that it is a great honor to have your name in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges or to have a long string of avtivities listed after your name in the annual. But it takes more than a large number of activities to earn the honor. Only the individual can tell if he has put everything he should have into his work. A half- hearted attempt at office holding hurts more than it helps in more ways than one. There are those who really want to become a part of an organization. They desire to add their part to the betterment of the college. They are faced with a lack of organization caused by the leaders and people in key positions not having sufficient time to devote to their jobs. For this reason the new members lose interest and drop out. Again the club loses be- cause there are not enough people in the top positions who can spend the necessary amount of time. Where are the others who should be sharing the load? For the most part they are the ones who sit back and criticize? They are the ones who say that a clique has control of all extra-curricular activities on campus. They are the ones who make it necessary for the overburdened students to bear the lull load. We are not advocating a return to the point system whereby a student gets so many points for each position he holds and can attain only so many points at a time. It is up to the individual to know how much he is capable of handling. We are in favor of persons joining groups that need their help- In this way, they can find a number of people who share their inteests. They can spend their spare time in a necessary capacity where they are able to allot the proper amount of time to their duties. This is the only way they can serve to best advantage. A word of warning to freshmen (one of many you have received by now) do not rush into every organization that rears its head. It is better to become settled in the academic side of college life before you branch out into the social areas. There is plenty of time for that later. Also by waiting, you can observe from the outside the workings of each group and know what you are getting into. There is very little chance that the committee which needs your help now will not need it at a later date. One of the best ways to get full benefit from your four years here is to take an active part in a useful organization. To serve it to the best of your ability and not to spread your- self so thinly that you will not be able to do any one job well.
