General Assembly approved a bill calling for the establishment of a two-year med- ical school heie at East Carolina which was introduced in the senate Thursday, April 1 by Senator Walter Jones of Pitt County. Opposition included trustees of the Greater University, senators from the Piedmont area, The Raleigh Times, and Governor Don K. Moore. However, credit must be given to those who were bold in their stand for approval of the establishment of en EC medical school. A few of them were Senator Walter Jones, Rep. W. A. Forbe3, Sen. Robert Morgan, Dr. Roy Norton, The Greenville Reflector, The Durham Sun, and countless doc- tors and medical societies. Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, President of the college stated upon being noti- fied of the news, "It is a great vic- tory for the people of the East and a great stride forward for the entire state "Our task now he said, "is to do all within our power to mold this new facility into a tool that will im- prove the medical resources of the East, into an institution that will make a genuine contribution to the medical future of our state and na- tion. Calling for an appropriation of $10,000 for the first year and $250,000 the second year, the med- ical school will employ a dean and 85 other workers. Included will be specialists in anatomy, biochemistry, Eos Carolinian Staff: SeatedJim Young, Editor; Left to RightTim Bagwell, Greek Editor Robert Duncan, Layout Editor; Frisby Hendricks, Associate Editor Pete Hondros, Columnist; Paul Michaels, Feature Editor; Ron Dowdy, Business Manager.

Many persons have worked diligently during this legislative session to bring about this forward looking and far reaching legislation. For the bill is one of the most progressive steps taken by the N. C. General Assembly for some time. The only change in the proposed bill and the passed bill is an amendment proposed by Rep. R. D. McMillian, an oppon- ent of the bill from Robeson . The amendment sets a deadline (Jan. 1, 1967) for E C to find two national medical accredita- tion associations to accredit the Medical School's standards. This amendment should be no problem in fact, the amend- ment is probably a good one Getting proper accreditation is a matter of getting the Medi- cal School together on paper and presenting it to the medical associations for their approval. The amendment should get the Medical School rolling . . . immediately . . and once it begins to make progress, the administration cannot afford to slow it down. President Leo W. Jenkins certainly should be congratulated on the legistative victory. This is one of his numerous pet pro- jects . . and it is now in the clear to move rapidly. Another person to be thanked by the school and by all of Nortti Carolina is Sen. Robert Morgan. Sen. Morgan has put his best foot forward in every instance to get this bill through the legislature . . . and a fine job he has done. One of his more impressive appearances was made on the day tl A the bill first came before the Joint Appropriations Committee. Throughout the battle, Sen. Morgan performed extremely well. In the House, Rep. W. A. (Red) Forbes, guided the Medical School proposal with superb skill. The House was where the skeptics of the bill resided in force . . . and here, the bill could have run into obstacles to delay and possibly kill the proposal. The bill with the amendment attached made its way clear of any real opposition and its sponsor, Rep. Forbes is to be praised. A fourth person "walked softly and carried a big stick That was Sen Walter Jones. Sen. Jones introduced the bill last April first and has been a big factor in getting the Medical pro- posal passed. There are of course many others to thank for their look to the future. Dr. Roy Norton, Ed Beddingfield and Dr. Ernest Fergu- son are among these. These are a few of the people who have seen the dire need of medical facilities in the state. They have seen that Eastern North Carolina needs this Medical School to continue its pro- gress. But they have seen that progress in the field of medicine in this area will mean an economic liftfor the state ond in turn the nation. Passage of this all-important bill is proof positive ihat North Carolina can and will take upon itself the development of its resources to their fullest and not wait for the federal govern- ment to step in with Federal Aid or Anti-poverty to bring areas of the state to an economic par. And to every student who has attended or who will at- tend this institution . . . fUis is a great day for you. You went to a school with a medical school. It's a tremendous factor. It makes your diploma worthy of comment. It puts you in contact with some of the nation's top doctors be you a medical student or business major. The mere working, seeing, and talk- ing with these people will certainly fill your sphere of knowledge of the world in which you live. L. M. B. Guest Editorial By Steve Sniteman The Student Government of East Carolina is made up of you, the stu- dents. Without you, the SGA would have no function, could serve no purpose, hence, it would cease to exist. Since the SGA does exist be- cause of you, and the members of the SGA come from persons out of the student body, the enactments of legislation by these individuals will directly or indirectly effect each one of you. I urge you to represent your- self in the election on Thursday. I do not say vote for your friends, or vote against persons whom you may hold some animosity toward, rather, vote for the persons who will represent you the way that you should and want to be represented. I say this, knowing all the time that the summer school elections are not participated in to a great extent, but also in the hope that you will see the impor- tance of making your wants known regardless of the time of the year. Make no mistake, you are important; therefore, the Student Government is important, if for no other reason than the SGA spends a great deal of your money and passes legislation concerning you as a student body. Only by you selecting those individ- uals who are in coordination with your ideas and wants, will your money be spent and legislation be passed as you would wish. The SGA has a responsibility to you in seeing to it that your wants are not just known, but fulfilled. In contmst, ycu also have a responsibility to the Stu- dent Government by voting, such as in ihe election on Thursday, and by supporting the candidate of your choice not only on voting days but throughout the entire year Letters To The Editor I MerO, one ture. rolmian Published weekly by the students of East Carolina College Greenville, North Carolina Member Carolinas Collegiate Press Association Associated Collegiate Press editor associate editor business manager layout editor
