Cameron tox, ??? ? May I suggest strongly that all athletes participating In varsity football and basketball be permit- ted to establish programs during the term or quarter of their par- ticipation, wherein they would not 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 education The tournament itself will feature teams from virtually all geographi- cal locations in the United States. The teams entered besides host East C rolina, are Air Force Acad- emy. Baylor, Cornell, Delaware, Virg; ia Tech and William and Mary.

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, Bob Bowman Campus Viewpoint National Educnt.ona! Advertising Services "1? 3"oR;sl(rr.85As ???? .?c , Nf,v ork N y 10017 By JAMES HORD Editorials Editor 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. John Fulton Library Boosts 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.

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 . . "But sometimes he forgets 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.

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. . -?, ? COLLEGE SENIORS Don't Forget "Career Opportunities Conf erence" December 27 9 a. m. till 4 p. m.

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 East Carolina basketball Pirates hoped to get back in the win col- umn Wednesday night as they tra- veled to South Carolina and took on the Gamecocks before a sell- out crowd of 12,131, as the EAST CAROLINIAN was at press.
