Dr Home pointed out that these f'gures can be deceiving. Even though we are now admitting all qualified applicants, the moot ques- tion is how many will enroll he said The problem exists because many students apply to more than one 'school to be assured of accep- tance For instance, last year, sixty- f ve percent of those accepted ac- tuallv enrolled at East Carolina. 'The war-baby boom is certainly upon us now and these increases should continue through next year with a leveling off afterwards Dr Home said. With over four hundred hich schools represented in these new figures, the importance of the SA.T as a means of standardization k increased. Dr. Home also ad- mired foe quality of he out-of-state students' records. "We are now get- ting much better representation from other states as the better students apply here. Even though the mini- mum SAT is 900, most students pre- sent scores of more than one thou- sand Dr. Jenkins also was impressed by this great increase and released the following statement: "The tre- mendous demand for higher educa- tion in North Carolina iis such that we shall have many more applica- tions than we can accept. Therefore, out of necessity, we shaM be obliged to accept students on the basis of their credentiiails-giving preference to North Carolina students with the highest records of academic achieve- ment.

NRHS Holds Excursion Several members of the East Caro- lina chapter of the National Railway Historical Society participated re- cently in a special excursion planned by the Old Dominion chapter, Rich- mond. Members of the local chapter among the 153 passengers were Miss Velma Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Dade, Bill Morris, and Bob Morri- son. The special trip, partly over lanes without passenger service for more than a decade, ran from Richmond to Bremo over the Chesapeake and Ohio's scenic James River line. Near Bremo, the special train, con- sisting of two streamlined, self-pro- pelled "railiiesel-dars" iRDC's), crossed the Rivanna River and climbed over a twisting but pic- turesque route to the industrial town of Dillwyn. NRHS mernbership is open to all who are interested in rail travel and history. 2east Caroliniantuesday, march 9, 1965 explanation please SGA President, Jim Mahan, is living in GToldsboro this quarter. His academic program has taken him away from the campus, and thus, away from his elected position as presi- dent. Our student leader will, however, leave his new post as student teacher in Goldsboro twice each week and come to Greenville to take up his duties as leader of student action. It seems that this course of action taken by our presi- dent has raised a few eyebrows about the campus. This is ex- pected. But how far will the eyebrow rise before the hand rises also? The SGA is teeming with rumors and ideas con- cerning the situation. Many persons within the realms of the SGA 'IN CROWD' seem to have their own ideas about the sudden and stunning program of study taken on by Mahan this quarter. But then there are only several weeks before a new slate of officers take the helm. It seems that someone, certainly Mahan should have known that this course of study was necessary during spring quarter. But due to the lack of information, the school is without an active president for a period of weeks. Truly, the situation is not as bad a-s imagined when one first hears the shocking news. This certainly is not Presi- dential protocol . . . and of course, should never become such. In fact, there should be no excuse for the present situation. If Mahan can conduct all the business on the presidential agenda with only two evenings in his office . . . his latest arrangement of executive office hours is A-OK. But, in the same breath, if this is true it is certainly time to begin thinking about who the students select to occupy the executive office during 1966. Exactly how much is the office of the President worth to the student body. Certainly the position may be made into what the elected person desires to make it . . . but the presidential responsibil- ity seems more demanding than what Mahan will allocate of himself Spring quarter. The question is not whether Mahan has done a good job with his position thus far . . . this is not for us to decide. However, we may take a look at the time that our presi- dent devotes to his duties. Even if the president is the stu- dentoutside world" liason . . . and nothing more. We are of the opinion that the presidential office re- quires a certain amount of dispersing duty. And this is time
