It has worked both to relieve
problems of unemployment

The Institute has suggested di-

Carolina's previous dependance
chiefly upon the highly .seasonal
farm, tourist and fishing industries.
Cooperating with the departments
and facilities Of East Carolina, a-
long with many county development
groups which it has established, the
Institute has completed many re-

area
These programs deal with such
topics a.s buying habits, tourism,
Meal facilities, housing, munici-
pal and county revenues and expen-
ditures, convention and camping fa-
cilities, and commercial fishing, to
mention a few.
It has also published detailed eco-
mic development reports on
many cities and counties in the
region,
Through such research projects
as these, Mr. Willis believes the
Institute is formulating and find-
ing way to meet the needs of this
area by knowing what Ls necessary
and usable for economic and indus-
trial expansion.
Tins will lead to better econom-
ic conditions, better employment,
and less social and cultural defici-

in the growth of the State of North
Carolina and of the nation.
Flu Causes Quick Growth
Infirmary Case Load
By SANDY HOLLAND
The campus infirmary has seen
thirty per cent increase in pati-
past week. Monday, 379
�students were treated for various
maladies among which the flu was
the most prominent. The number
of ick on campus is unusually high

ruary commonly bring the largest

Sim e the infirmary is only equip-

to b the best action to take since

illness.
Stay Home
Students who become ill during
the Christmas holidays are urged
to remain at home under the care
of the family physician until they
,re well The infirmary will issue
chs excises in exchange for a
note from tire doctor upon the stu-
dents return to campus.
The sick wave should not be the
source of any great alarm There
is no epidemic on campus, and very
little evidence of the Hong Kong

� May I suggest strongly that all
athletes participating In varsity

be required to attend any classes
Thus was the suggestion made by
FCU President Leo Jenkins at a
peech made at the Columbia Tip-
off Club at Columbia. S.C. on Wed-
nesday.
Tins statement was made in ref-
erence to the unequal educational
opportunity which athletes receive.
Skins said that athletes who
have to travel much of the season
e denied their proper opportun-
ity to receive a good education for
thev have bo miss class much of
the time, fHe stated that athletes
��would be' permitted to enroll in a
aelf-study program in which they
could do assigned reading, theme
writing, or any other assignments
at their own convenience It was
noted that this idea would only
cover football and basketball for
they are the top sports and that the
student would be permitted to make
up the work In summer school.
Include BOA Officers
renkins said that under this sys-
tem the players could be expected
to participate in longer practice
sessions and that the players could
do' some educational sight-seeing
while at distance places instead of
rushing back to class. He further
stated that the same program could
be used, for example, with the mus-
K, tnajor who has to do a lot of
traveling to conceits for long per-
Sds of time, or for SO A officers
.such as the BOA president who
must take care of his administra-
tive duties.
The ECU President said, "we
must go one step further to guar-
antee and insure his 'the athlete's

The tournament itself will feature

A Season Of Joy
ECU Forum
A time of peace, a season of joy . . . Such phrases describe
the feelings of many of the world's inhabitants, as the upcom-
ing holiday .season approaches.
The upcoming festivities, originally stemming from the
Christian celebration of the birth of Christ, haw now taken
on the unique quality of meaning something to almost every
person in this country, regardless of religious belief, social
and economic status, or cultural origin.
For some of the inhabitants of this nation, the upcoming
Christmas holidays will be a period of religious revitalization.
For others, the days will provide a time for good fellowship
with relatives and friends. For still others, they will be days
that allow a much-needed mental and physical rest.
No matter what the significance might be, the holiday
period commonly called Christmas promises to be very import-
ant to every American, being characterized as a time of merri-
ment, good spirit, and gifts.
There are some, however, who will not feel the tangible
aspects of the approaching holiday atmosphere. The pangs of
poverty and the coldness of social ostracism will considerably
dampen for them the Christmas joy that comes so naturally
to most of us.
All too often, we, in our haste and selfishness, fail to
grasp the true significance of this holiday season, allowing
such a time of good will and kindness to become perverted by
our willingness to stay within the confines of our narrow little
worlds.
In a world characterized by strife and dissention, the
time of the Christmas holidays should provide a welcome re-
spite, replacing some of that sorrow with universal joy. Only
by sharing the good things that have come our way, and by
displaying some of the spirit of brotherhood that, despite its
label or form for particular individuals, is the primary rea-
son for the holiday season, can this end be achieved.
It is the firm wish of this Editor that each member of
the East Carolina University family experience the joy and
happiness of the best of Christmas seasons, but at the same
time realizing that such true joy and happiness can only come
from sharing with those not so fortunate.
Christmas as a season has the capacity for providing more
happiness to the people of the world than does any other holi-
day, but also bears with it the responsibility for each human
that be take time from his own enjoyment to consider the
state of his fellow.

REPRESENTED FCi
Editor:
I would like to give a reply to
i eonard Mancini's editorial con-
cerning the "Rights in Conflict"
report, in his editorial he poses
several questions which he appar-
ently cannot find answers to. 1 will
answer those questions by quoting
from the �'Rights in Conflict" book
and from NEWSWEEK and TIME
jazines.
Mr. Mancini seems to believe
the book is "an additional chapter
in the book of philosophical smoke
that is written, published, and
copy-writed by our communications
media On the contrary, it was
issued by a Chicago study team di-
rected by Daniel Walker. Mr. Walk-
er had been assigned by the Presi-
dent's CommLssion on the Causes
and Prevention of Violence to de-
termine what happened in Chicago.
Mr. Mancini asks the following
question: "How does a bit tune
merchant qualify for writing of-
ficial government reports?" Mr.
Walker qualifies by being vice
president and general counsel of
Montgomery Ward, and also presi-
dent of Chicago's crime commis-
sion. "With this background he
was picked by the President's Com-
mission to head the study" iTTME,
Dec. 13.
The next question asked in the
editorial was: "Where are the words
telling of the despicable and pro-
vocative acts of the pail of a
handful of dissenters . . . ?" TL.
answer will be found in the open-
ing paragraphs of "Rights in Con-
flict
"During the week of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, the
Chicago police were the targets of
mounting provocation by both word
and act. It took the form of ob-
scene epithets, and of rocks, sticks,
bathroom tiles, and human feces
hurled at police by demonsrator.s.
Furthermore, the police had been
put on edge by widely published
threats of attempts to disrupt both
the city and the convention
The next question was: "Where
are the words telling of the harsh
acts of only a small group of po-
licemen and surely not the entire
Chicago police force as one would
have been led to believe?" In last
weeks TIME tone of our news me-
dia) it clearly states: "The report
confirms the earlier impression
that the Chicago police force �
in Major Daley's celebrated euphe-
mism � 'overreacted But it also
stresses the provocations they suf-
fered and records examples of po-
lice restraint
The last question is "Where are
the words telling of the guilty po-
licemen who had in fact been dis-
cipled and suspended by the au-
thorities?" Mr. Mancini can find
the answer to this question on page
35, of TIME (Dec. 6) which states:
"As the Walker report comment
there has been no public condem-
nation of these violators of sound
police procedures and common de-
cency by either their commanding
officers or city officials. Nor, when
the report was being compleed
nearly three months after the con-
vention, had any disciplinary action
been taken against most of the
violators. But the Walker investi-
gation may have had some effect
on Chicago. ' .ast week, just before
the Issuance or the report, a Chi-
cago police department board re-
commended that four officers be
dismissed for using excessive force
during the convention week
I think that if Mr. Mancini had
taken the time to read the articles
pertaining to the report in TIME
and NEWSWEEK, he could have
answered his own "questions
Justification
Editor:
In response to Jnn Godfrey's
ter ui the Dec. 12th edition, I wJJl
like to clarify my review of "vt
nam! Vietnam et"
Had my review of Mr. Greene's
book been inaccurate, misreprn
seated the book's tone or the au"
thor's viewpoint, then I would hav'
welcomed criticLsm. I do not think
that my review did this. As Mr
Godfrey apparently did not read
the boo he was not able to ciitb
the review on these points.
Mr. Godfrey wrongly attributed
to me the supposition that the
United States became involved ii
the Vietnamese quagmire tor her
lways an easv task to criticize own economic advantage. Rather
I quoted from the book a speech
by President Eisenhower who jus-
tified our country's involvement
in the war by stating the econom-
ic necessity of controlling Indo-
china's value We "tin and tungsten
Since Eisenhower ordered our
presence in Vietnam, his stated
motives are more likely than those
of our venerable seer, Mr God-
frey. Godfrey said that we are in
South Viet Nam to .stop commun-
ism from knocking on our back
door
is a
something, It must have been ex-
tremely easy for Mr. Mancini to
have criticized the news media and
the Walker report. I think he should
have the facts more carefully be-
fore forming his opinions.
I do not condone the demonstra-
tors for what they did, nor do I con-
done the Chicago police force for
their actions. I believe our news
media in general and the Walker
Report in particular have lived up
to the responsibilities they have
to our society.
Sincerely,
Mickey Little
Surprise
To the Editor:
Surprise! Surprise! The EAST
CAROLINIAN finally has a Journa-
list capable of doing something
other than reporting the facts. I
refer of course to the recent ar-
ticle (Dec. 12 by Poster McTag-
gart. I found myself highly enter-
tained by Mr, McTaggart's account
concerning the death of "Big Red
There is, however one question
which concerns me. I should like
to know why the East Carolina
Debate Team finds it necessary to
travel in the coach's personal car.
I realize that several month's no-
tice is necessary in order for the
debate team to obtain a state ve-
hicle, but it only seems reasonable
to me that an exception could be
made to the rule before it would
become necessary for people as
important as the debate team
to travel all the way to
Pittsburgh a distance of 1000
miles round trip) in something like
"Big Red
Perhaps I do not know the full
story. Perhaps there is a good rea-
son why the debate team should
uffer the trials and tribulations
of a modern-day "Grapes of
Wrath Perhaps it builds charact-
er. Perhaps he administration de-
nies the state car on purpose.
You'll pardon me if I'm a little
skeptical.
Sincerely yours,

Why not suspend classes at noon
Friday?
Several students have made this
suggestion, since the rumor of end-
ing classes on Wednesday was
squelched. This seems to be a very
good idea and would benefit many
students in several different ways.
First of all, students who get out,
of class at five o'clock do not relish
the long drive ahead of them. This
is because most of the driving wou-
ld have to be done during the hours
of cusk, or right after dark. As
statistics have shown, more acci-
dents occur during this period of
time than at any other.
Secondly, many students do not
have an automobile and a ride
must be obtained in the best pos-
sible way. This necessitates the for-
mation of c.r-pools, or other "i ha
re-the-gas" arrangements. But be-
cause of the current policy of
;ving after your I
many students who c uld
at aii earlier hour are forced
tO 'ither a) cut I lie cl
two quality point!
bus- if ' � � wen . uspended a1
noon, this problem would be alle-
viated.
Thirdly, the question must be
asked: Will the possible gains out-
weigh the losses of attending class
FTiday afternoon? In other words,
how much is actually accomplished
in most classes during this period
of time? In my opinion, very little.
Concentration on the subject mat-
ter is at a low ebb because of the
anticipation of going home for the
holidays.
The only possible disadvantage
to ending classes at noon would be
the large volumn of traffic which
would depart from Greenville at
approximately the same time. (Wit-
ness the traffic ensnarlment re-
sulting from a football or basket-
ball game.) But this problem is al-
so encountered under the present
set-up to a lesser degree.
In short, this seems to be a good
lution to a common problem of
which several students have com-
plained. But with the large amount
bureaucratic boondoggling that
recently plagued ECU, many
prol ;ii complain! irri-
tion,
In a republican form of govern-
ment it is imperative that citizens
question the policies of their gov-
ernment. Indeed, our system would
not exist for long if this process of
participation ceased Thus T can
see no logic nor any truth in God-
frey's accusation that I am abus-
ing my freedoms by questioning in
print the policies of our govern
ment. Without constructive critic-
ism, America would become no
better than Siberia.
Yours truly.

Family Collections
By RHONDA CRUCTFIELD
Seventy-three separate collections
now comprise the East Carolina
Manuscript Collection, according
to Dr. Donald R. Lennon, head of
the manuscript collection.
East Carolina's manuscript collec-
tors located 27 family collections
in its first two years; and since
Dr. Lennon joined the staff, in
1967, 46 more have been added.
Most of the material in the
manuscript collection concerns
United States history with a par-
ticular emphasis on North Caro-
lina history.
According to Dr. Lennon, the
five areas in which the E.C.U.
Manuscript Collection is the strong-
est are agriculture, civil war. poli-
tics, government and the twentieth
century.
Some papers are given to the
collection outright by families.
while others are only loaned and
are returned upon request of the
family.
In conclusion Dr. Lennon urged
students who know of any family
papers thai, might possibly be of
historical value to get in touch with
nun at his office, room 246. of the
library.
The EAST CAROLINIAN
urges all students, faculty mem-
bers, administrators, and mem-
bers of the University commun-
ity to express their opinions in
writing.

'Career-lu-Greenaboro Day' December 27
The Greensboro Chamber of
Commerce and the Personnel Asso-
ciation of the Greensboro Area are
co-sponsoring the second annual
��CRieer-In-Greensboro Day" for
college juniors and seniors. The
aate 1 a the conference, December
27th was selected to take advant-
age ol the CliTistmas holidays. It
will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 4 CO
p.m. In the Cowan Building at Gre-
ensboro College.
More than 35 GreensDoro area
businesses and industries will man
display and information booths, e-
ports William J. Price, Chairmvi
of the project. Last year, som 24
firms participated and attracted
more than 150 college students.
The program is designed to ser-
ve two very important needs; first,
to inform area students of the
many job opportunities existing
within the immediate business com-
plex; and, second, to permit con-
tacts between representatives and
high caliber potential employees.
Last year's program was very suc-
cessful and beneficial for both the
students and the represented firms.
Again this year, participating firms
will represent a variety of fields-
banking, accounting, engineering,
business management, advertising,
recreation, and others.
College Juniors and Seniors in and
from the Greensboro Area are urg-
ed to attend.
As I walked through a down-
town area I was overwhelmed by
the alertness of my senses. Every
sense seemed to be excitingly a-
wake. inside I felt an intense full-
ness of joy, generosity, kind-
ness. Soon I passed a small alley
and found myself pausing to in-
hale the delicious scent of fresh
pine and cedar. Here was the Christ-
mas-tree-man with scores of trees
for families and iriends to come
together to trim the tree. Christ-
mas is a time to be together with
those you love, I decided.
On I walked, not really knowing
where I was going, when 'ting' a
small snowflake perched on the tip
of my nose. The unexpected chill
felt good. I then realized that this
tingling feeling was contagious and
had spread over me. I felt very a-
live and happy. I wanted to skip
instead of walk. I wished that I
could inhale and absorb all the
tingling icy friendliness of the air.
I continued to fight through the
crowd of shoppers with their arms
full of packages. People were bust-
ling everywhere. Christmas lights
and decorations adorned each cor-
ner. It was so exciting . . . the redd-
ery, the bluery, the greenery!
I slowed my pace and just thou-
ght of past Christmases and of the
presents I'd buy for this Christ-
mas. I must have thought for a
long time for suddenly I realized
that there were no more shoppers
or lights . . . but run down old
houses and a few children playing
in the street. The snow was getting
pretty deep by now and it was
freezing cold. I stopped to watch
the children. They were under-
dressed for the weather in merely
sweaters and one had on sandels
about three sizes too large for him.
A small girl wandered over to
speak to me. �-Hi" she said as she
smiled and tightened her ragged
scarf, "who are you?" I told her
my name and asked her, "Well,
what Ls Santa Claus going to bring
you?" Her little face brightened and
she stretched skinny arms to say
�A walking doll this big then a
serious look prevailed a conte-
nance much too young for such
serious thought and she added,
��But sometimes h� forgets I
simply couldn't think of anything
to say to that so I gently patted
her on the head and walked back
toward the downtown area.
Her words seemed to haint me

My pace had picked up now for it
was really getting cold. The build-
ings were getting taller so I knew
I was making progress. I was next
to a pretty tall building, I looked
up and saw that it was a church.
I felt an uncontrollable urge to go
inside. I sat on the back pew and
begin to think. The little girls'
words kept coming to my mind.
Suddenly I felt as though I had a
conclusion that I had been trying
to read . . � this commercialized
world has made it sadly necessary
for Santa Claus to forget some lit-
tle children but there is no ex-
cuse for people to completely by-
pass the real meaning of Christmas.
As I got up to leave a small choir
boy began reciting . . . "and, there
was a babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger . .

Technology Alters
American Character
By JAMES HORD
"The increase in technology is
the cause of our changing Ameri-
can values stated Vance Packard,
social critic and author of several
best-selling books, including "THE
STATUS SEEKERS
Speaking to students gathered in
Wright Auditorium Monday night,
Packard pointed out that these
changes are manifested in the de-
mand for higher education, growth
of metropolitan areas, restlessness
of youth, and changes In our work
habits.
The changes in American values,
or character that he noted are:
�Hedonism. Americans live lor

the present, long-term goals are
not sought, and instant gratifica-
tion is demanded for most wants
and desires.
�Impulsivness. He pointed out
that 75 per cent of the items peo-
ple buy in supermarkets are based
on "spur-of-the-moment" decisions.
People simply buy things which
they do not need.
�Wastefulness. People re en-
couraged to throw things away, to
purchase bigger and better things,
and to discourage prudence.
�Narcissism. This is demonstra-
ted by the large amount of money
spent on cosmetics by both men
and women. People are always
"looking in mirrors primping, and
trying to achieve social recognition.
In fact, last year over a half bil-
lion dollars was spent on wigs, he
said.
Television is partially the blame
for the changes in our character,
according to Packard. For example,
by the time a person finishes high
school, he has spent an average of
15,000 hours watching television �
which is approximately equal to
the amount of time he has spent
in classroom.
Of this 15,000 hours of TV watch-
ing, an average of 2,500 hours has
been commercials. Most of these
commercials are presented on a
childish level � such as the pro-
motion of selfish interests, im-
mediate gratification, self-indul-
gence, and materialism. This has
led to a saturation of our culture.

Flu Weakens Blue Hens Chanees
In Eastern Carolina Classic
Until a flu epidemic struck last
week, Delaware basketball coach
Dan Peterson was figuring he might
have a surprise for top-seeded Vir-
ginia Tech in the opening round
of the Eastern Carolina Classic Dec.
26 in Minges coliseum.
Peterson, although undergoing
what was classified as a rebuild-
ing year, chalked off three straight
wins with his Blue Hens before
they were measured by Perm. 58-39.
With two top scorers out of the
game in that one and a third mem-
ber of the starting five suffering
irom the flu, the Blue Hens could
ixk muster the punch that had
seen them average 79.9 points a
game in their three initial starts.
In the Penn game, Steve Jack-
son, who had been averaging 22
points and Loren Pratt, who had
been hitting 20.7. were out of ac-
tion. Jim Couch, the team's third
leading scorer who is now averag-
ing 14.8, was not at full speed be-
cause of the illness.
Following that loss, the Blue Hens
had to cancel a scheduled garni'
with Rutgers because they didn't
have enough players to take the
floor.
Pratl and Couch, the team's co-
captain are the only two starters
returning from last year's outfit
that posted a 16-7 record. Couch
is a 6-1 guard and Pratt a 6-4 for-
ward .
Moving into the starting lineup
have been John McMillen, a 6-5
center who has outstanding jump-
ing ability and is the team's lead-
Ing rebounder with 12.5 per game;
Ed Roth at 6-7 and Steve Jackson
a 6-4 guard.
Delaware is scheduled to close
out its pre-Eastern Carolina Clas-
ichedule with Bucknell Wed-
nesday night, but as late as Mon-
day there was no certainty that
the game would be played because
of the illness on the squad.
Just how the epidemic will af-
fect the team's efforts in the Clas-
sic Peterson isn't sure, but he is
hopeful the squad will be recover-
ed completely by next week when
the Blue Hens invade Greenville
for the tournament opener against
VPI at 1:30 p.m. the day after
Christmas.
.vnen a coach says he is re-
building it usually means here
comes a lser Peterson said, "but
we believe you can rebuild and win
at the same time
Until the illness struck the squad,
Peterson's belief was borne out
and he had three straight wins to
attest to his feelings.
Even healthy, however, Peterson
figured to have a tough time with
Bucknell. But even a loss there
could have meant, the Hens would
arrive in Greenville with at least
a 4-1 or 5-1 record.
"Bucknell is one of the toughest
teams on the toughest schedule
we've had since I came to Dela-
ware. Pi icrson said.
"Despite the sickness, we are
-till looking forward to the tourna-
ment and hope everyone is well by
the time we get to the tourna-
ment
Pirates Face Gamecocks

umn Wednesday night as they tra-

ginia Cavaliers Saturday night, 86-
