Blue Devils spoil baseball season opener
DURHAM The Duke Blue
Devils spoiled East Carolina's
baseball opener as the Dukes
took a 7-5 win over the Bucs
Saturday afternoon on a cold
and windy day.
The Bucs could only manage
three hits off five Duke pitchers,
but they used nine walks and a
sacrifice fly to help push in their
five runs as they led the Blue
Devils twice during the game.
However, Duke got eight hits
off seven Buc hurlers to go with
five walks to account for their
runs. The Blue Devils, acting like
devils on the basepaths, stole
five bases in the first three
innings to keep runners in
scoring position as they ran up a
3 1 lead. The Bucs also
contributed three errors, which
didn't help any.
East Carolina jumped off to a
1-0 lead, but Duke bounced
back to go ahead by 2-1 in the
first inning. After Duke added a
single tally in the third to make
by Joh
it 3-1, East Carolina rallied to
score four times in the seventh
to take a 5-3 lead, but it didn't
last long. In the bottom of the
seventh, the Blue Devils pushed
three runs over to take a 6-5
lead, and they were never
headed. Duke added an
insurance run in the eighth to
make it 7-5, the final tally.
Richard Corrada opened the
game with a first pitch liner off
third baseman John Posen's
glove for a hit. Jim Lanier
followed with a line single to
right with Corrada holding at
second. Both runners moved up
on a passed ball, and then with
one out, Carey Anderson lifted a
long fly to center to score
Corrada for the Buc's 1-0 lead.
It didn't take Duke long to
catch the Bucs as Tim Teer
started things for the Blue Devils
by walking after there was one
out. He stole second and then
scored on Posen's single to left
to tie the game. Posen then

The
Stereo
Suitcase
? rpHE KLH ! Model Eleven stereo
I phonograph is the first portable
?? you can take with you and take
seriously.
The Model Eleven lets you take
high-performance stereo wherever
there is an AC outlet. It will fill a dorm room, a
summer cottage, or the living room hack home
with the kind of sound once available only from a
massive and expensive
sound-system.
Built around a remark-
able pair of miniature
KLH speakers, the Model
Eleven provides a solid
bass response unmatched by many big consoles.
Its electronics are "contoured" to provide just the
amount of power needed by the speakers at vari-
ous frequencies, and they provide enough power
overall to fill a big living room or a small house.
Th' automatic turntable is built to KLH specifi-
cations by Garrard, and is equipped with a Picker-
ing cartridge with a diamond stylus. There's a full
array of controls, inputs for a tuner or tape
recorder, and enough speaker cord to put the
speakers wherever you want them.
All of this comes-and goes-in a handsome lug-
gage case of vinyl Contourlite that will slip under
a jetliner seat. It weighs only 28 pounds ready to
travel.
So take the KLH stereo suitcase along. It will
give you musical pleasure out of all proportion to
its size, weight, and cost.

proceeded to steal second and
third off Buc starter Randy
Glover. Posen then scored on a
single to center by Dave Snyder
to make it 2-1.
In the second and third
innings, potential Buc threats
were killed by double plays.
Tim Teer started Duke's half
of the third with a single to
center. He then stole second and
continued to third when no one
covered second as the throw
sailed into centerfield. One out
later, Randy Blanchard scored
Teer on a sacrifice fly to center,
making it 3 1.
Duke had a big threat in the
fourth, loading the bases with
two outs, but Teer ended the
inning by grounding out to first
baseman Wayne Vick.
Neither team threatened in
the fifth or sixth innings, but the
pot came to a quick boil for
both teams in the seventh.
Len Dowd and Dennis Vick
both walked to start the Bucs'
half of the seventh. After pitcher
Mitchell Hughes moved them up
with a perfectly placed sacrifice
bunt, Corrada scored Dowd on a
sacrifice fly to center to make it
3-2. Lanier and Stu Garrett each
walked to load the bases.
Carey Anderson then
unloaded a double to left that
cleared the bases, giving East
Carolina a 5-3 lead.
In the bottom of the seventh,
Duke rallied to retake the lead.
After a walk and a single put
runners on first and second,
Hughes struck out the dangerous
Teer, but Posen doubled to right
as the Bucs' Dave Shield
misjudged the sinking liner to
drive in one run. Blanchard
followed with a double inside
the bag at third to score two
more runs to give Duke a 6 5
lead. After Snyder grounded
out, Ron Hastings came in to get
the final out.
Shields opened the eighth,
reaching first on an error and
moved to second on Dowd's
sacrifice bunt. Dennis Vick
grounded to short and Shields
was thrown out trying to
advance to third as Vick reached
first. Vick later stole second, but
the inning died when pinchhitter
Jerry Rawls grounded to third
for the final out.
Bill Seith singled to deep
short for Duke to start off their
half of the eighth. Seith moved
to second on a ground out. One
out later, Smith walked, to put
runners on first and second. Teer
beat out an infield hit as Seith,
running with two out, scored
from second to make it 7 5 and
give Duke a needed insurance
run.
In the top of the ninth, East
Carolina went down in order for
only the second time as the
Dukes escaped with their 7 5
verdict.
Posen got a single and a
double, while Teer got a pair of
singles to lead the Duke attack,
while Randy Blanchard drove in
three runs. Carey Anderson's
double was the big hit for East
Carolina as the Buc left-fielder
drove in four runs.

ECU's Crew Team opened
their home season Saturday with
a sound victory over The Citadel.
The Oarsmen finished the mile
course a full 1:12 before their
opponents crossed the finish line.
East Carolina's time was 9:00
flat, while The Citadel had a time
of 10:12.
A strong current was the only
competition ECU had to contend
with, as they jumped to a boat
length lead shortly after the race
began, and continued to stretch it
out as it progressed.
Both teams bagan with a
strong 40 stroke per minute pace,
but the ECU group slowed theirs
to a more practical 31 while The
Citadel kept theirs at 40,
desperately trying to catch the
Pirates.
Members of the East Carolina
crew were, Rick Logan, bow,

Rebel' again captures
nation's highest award
The "Rebel Magazine" has
been awarded for the second
consecutive year the highly
coveted Ail-American Honor
Rating from the Associated
Collegiate Press Association at
the University of Minnesota.
Student publications from
more than 1,000 colleges and
universities across the nation
compete for this award on the
basis of content, writing and
makeup in categories based on
enrollment, frequency of
publication and method of
printing.
The All American, the highest
obtainable award, is awarded
only to those publications that
exhibit "exceptional merit in all
categories of magazine
journalism Last year, no more
than 5 of these awards were
given nationwide.
The magazines submitted by
the "Rebel" staff were the
winter, spring and fall issues of
1968.
The editors for the first two
issues judged were Miss Nellie
Johanna Lee and John Reynolds
with Chip Callaway as managing
editor
The third issue judged was
edited by John Reynolds and
Chip Callaway with Beverly
Jones as managing editor.
The "Rebel ECU's only
publication to receive this
national award is also the holder
of an excellence grant from the
North Carolina Arts Council.
Jenkins pledges full support
for campus medical school
oy Donna Dixon
Dr. Leo Jenkins firmly
pledged the continued interest
and involvement of ECU to
improve the health care problem
in Eastern North Carolina
Saturday night.
In a speech before the State
Society Radiologic
Technologists Convention held
at the local Moose Ledge,
President Jenkins again promised
his full support for a medical
school on campus.
"We want to help our region
to develop to its full potential, "
he said. "Whenever we can
identify a problem in our region,
we plan, together with our
citizens, the approach to its
solution
Manpower and facilities needed
Citing case after case of
disparities in health care
manpower and facilities, Dr.
Jenkins told the convention that
the image of the East could only
be improved by better health.
Many of our counties
compare poorly with the rest of
the state in per capita income, in
level of educational acheivement
ard in all other socio economic
indices he stated.
Dr. Jenkins observed that
after better education and more
and better paying jobs came for
Eastern North Carolina, the
?mage of the area would never be
improved without good health
In his fight for a medical
school for the University, Dr.
Jenkins' primary tool has been
the fact of the obvious shortage
of health care manpower and
health facilities in Eastern North
Carolina.
Encouraged by Governor Bob
Scott's recent spoken support
for a medical school on campus,
Dr. Jenkins told the convention
that the east "has only just
begun to realize its future
potential
"The sleeping giant has
stirred, flexed his muscles, and
taken a few strides toward a
better life he explained.
Better life
"Our struggle to improve our
economy, to raise our level of
educational acheivement, to
make a better life for all of our
people - this struggle cannot
succeed without adequate health
care he continued.
In concluding, Dr. Jenkins
declared, "Much remains to be
done we will vigorously pursue
our goals in our proven
cooperative way
President Jenkins' speech was
followed with another by
Republican Jim Gardner.

International students
model spring fashions
by A. W. Olson
"Seems to me I've heard this
tune before
"The Restless Ones" is not a
put on. It is a story of those
faceless and mindless middle
Americans and the by-products
of their marriages.
The kids are wild, groovy, neat
and vapid. They have no moral
standards of right and wrong
because society (parents, peers
and television) has failed to relate
the experience of living to its
adolescents.
The familiar results of
materialism and the quickness of
life are again impressed upon us as
evil and not conducive to our
spiritual sangunity.
The amazing Billy Graham,
outstanding orator, successful
businessman, and compadre to
our president, gives all America
the answer. And right he is. All we
need is for all people to
"thinkfeelknow" about all things
in the "right" manner.
The plot is trite. The acting is
mediocre except perhaps for Kim
Darby who plays the "bad girl
She has the lines and delivers
them effectively.
Before the showing a special
announcement informs us that
the medium is incidental to the
great "message" contained
herein.
Actually the delivery of Billy
Graham far overshadows the
content of his orations. No one
could possibly refute the power
of faith but this flick in its
simplistic, black-white, either-or
way causes the audience to
wonder about the honesty of
anything so naively presented.
The film reveals that a
togetherness of humanity
through a uniform awareness of
the "truth" of the Christian
gospel will end all the myriad
hangups of adult and non-adult
America. But as this is Grahan's
picture, the universal awareness
of the Christian faith is
underscored as the necessary
instrument for absolute
togetherness.
Actually, any doctrine or ethic
which is held as the "truth" by all
the world would yield the same
actuality. One cannot please all
the people all the time. As
Abraham Lincoln said, but then
he had not read Huxley's "Brave
New World
I cannot recommend this film
for anyone other than those
already convinced of the "truth"
of the Christian ethic.

Spring fashions burst into full
bloom in an exciting array of
colors at Wright Auditorium
here Wednesday night.
A fashion show presented by
the International Student Club
set the scene.
Backed by the light and
"springy" music of the Soul
Creation and flowers as colorful
as their outfits, nine members of
the ISC modeled the latest in
style and fashion for the campus
coeds and gents.
Prior to the presentation of
the fashions, all from downtown
Belk-Tyler's, a "cavalcade of
swimwear" from the past was
reviewed. The cavalcade
included swimsuits from the
modest 1870's to the daring and
roaring '20's, topped by bare
twp-piece sets and even barer
bikinis.
If the show is any sign of
spring fashions, the campus coed
can look for all-feminine,
splashy bermuda and pant suits,
flower-printed sun dresses, and
soft pastel dress clothes; all
featuring the reds and blues,
yellow, pink, and neutral colors.
For the male student, slacks
and bermudas with matching
knit shirts and double-breasted
blazers and turtle necks will set
the spring scene. Hues of rust,
green, and neutral shades should
prove to be the popular new
colors.
Mrs. Judith Brett, promotion
director for the local Belk-Tyler
Company and commentator for
the fashion show, nave detailed
descriptions of each outfit
modeled.
Models for the show were
Olicia Cavallo, Marilyn
Reynders, Myrna Pecunia,
Patricia Alezina, Andi Hasty,
Marcia Gill, Toshiko Ryu, Allen
Chan, and Geoff Knowles.
As sponsor of the show, the
International Student Club
launched the "Swinging Spring"
fashion show as its first major
project.
Before the fashion show
began, ISC president Allen Chan
told the audience that the
primary objective of the show
was to raise money for the club
and promote its countries.
"We want ECU students to
recognize our organization on
campus he said, "and to
recognize us as students
Organized last fall, the club
elected Allen Chan as its first
president and has more than 30
members from 13 different
countries in the world including
the U.S.
Past activities of the ISC have
included speaking appearances
to church groups, women's
clubs, and civic clubs.

State Student Legislature awards EC Best
Delegation, Best Bill, Senate presidency
ECU returned from the
annual State Student Legislature
(SSL) with three major honors:
Best Delegation award, Best Bill
from a large school, and the
office of president of the senate.
Sen. Ted Kennedy sent the
25-member ECU delegation a
letter of endorsement on its bill,
the North Carolina Anatomical
Gift and Transplantation of
Vital Organs Act.
David Lloyd was elected
president of the senate while
Cherry Stokes received
runner-up for the Best Spe. Ker
award. Reid Overcash,
nominated for speaker of the
house, lost the position by only
one vote on the first ballot, to
Patty Jenkins of Duke
University.
Best Delegation award was
given jointly to ECU and North
Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University
(A&T), a predominately black
university. However. A&T
refused to accept the Conference
Committee's joint award.
Willie Drake of A&T stated
that the award was "nothing but
mere tokenism A&T felt that
theirs was the best delegation
and should have the award by
themselves, related ECU
Delegation Chairman John
Schofield.
A&T asked the entire SSL
body to rule on the avard.
Considering the original dec ion
of a joint award as valid, the iSL
refused to make a decision, at
which time A&T withu,?v?,
giving ECU the Best Delegation
award.
ECU's Bills
ECU Anatomical Act is a
revision of the national Uniform
Anatomical Gift Act which sets
by Bev Jones
up uniform procedures for
donation and transplantation of
organs, to protect the doctor
and the donor. The ECU bill was
written to conform to North
Carolina contractual laws.
The intention of the bill arose
from a case in Houston, Tex.
where a transplant team was
indicted for murder and
malpractice after removing a
man from a heart-lung machine,
a life support system.
The doctors agreed that the
man's life had no meaning and
he was existing as a vegetable.
His wife pressed charges.
Elimination of such criminal
proceedings upon a doctor that
acts in good faith is the purpose
of the ECU bill.
SSL's Effectiveness
SSL is the oldest con'muing
body of its type in the nation.
From the first session in 1937
until 1964, students met in the
state capitol. Raleigh's Memoria
Auditorium has been the setting
since the capitol was declared a
historical landmark and
off-limits to any group except
state legislators.
Thirty-one major colleges and
universities of N.C. were
represented at the 1969 session
last month with over 300
students attending the four-day
affair.
"SSL is well ahead of its time
in pieces of legislation said
Delegation Chairman Schofield.
"Four out of every 10 bills
passed by SSL are eventually
passed by the General
Assembly
Schofield cited as examples
the SSL's recommendation of
reflectorized license plated two
years before the state passed the
bill and SSL's open housing bill
which was passed before the
similar federal bill.
The 25-member ECU
delegation included 12 veteran
delegates and 13 freshmen
delegates.
"Because of the work of the
freshmen and sophomores, I as
delegation chairman, received a
great deal of praise fo, the
enthusiasm and type of work
done by the EC delegates
Schofield said. "I am optimistic
about next year's delegation
from the balance of youth and
experience of the present
group

Concert pianist Cliburn Poetry Forum publishes 'Tar River
interprets Chopan p . gf f.y collectjollS
Last Friday night the
world-famous concert pianist,
Van Cliburn, gave one of the
m0St well-attended and
well received concerts to begiven
here at ECU in many years.
By 8:15, Wright Auditorium
was filled to capacity, including
the hundred extra seats that had
t0 be brought in.
Characteristically late, Cliburn
strode in twenty minutes later,
qave a quick bow, and then, to
the surprise of his audience, sat
down and played a stirring
rendition of "The Star Spangled
Banner Then, at his own
request, the auditorium lights
were dimmed only to half, thus
enabling him to see his audience
and communicate with them
easily.
Beginning the official
program, Cliburn played two
Intermezzi and the Ballade in G
minor, all from Opus 118 by
Johannes Brahms. In the first
two pieces, Cliburn set a
standard for the evening, giving
even the most delicate passages a
rhythmic strength and vitality.
In the Ballade, he demonstrated
his easy facility in the
technically difficult passages.
Second on the program was
the famous "Appasionata"
Dr. David. Sanders:
Etes-vous Celibataire?
by Roy C. Dicks
Sonato by Beethoven. Here
Cliburn showed that he had
definite ideas about the
interpretation of the piece,
which included some
interestingly quick and subtle
dynamic changes. In the allegro
sections, the audience was
treated to some impressive
virtuoso playing.
The last piece before
intermission, the Prokofieff
Sonata NO. 6 in A major, Opus
82, was preceded by an
explanatory speech by Cliburn,
concerning the circumstances of
the piece's composition. In this
selection Cliburn turned in some
extraordinary bravura pianism in
an obviously difficult piece.
Some of Cliburn's performance
characteristics were in great
evidence during this selection,
including the side-to-side
head wagging, the sudden
forward "attacking" of the
keyboard, and backward leaning
in the soaring passages.
The entire second half of the
program consisted of five works
by the great composer for the
piano, Frederic Chopin. Cliburn
did not fall into the trap of
playing these pieces with
tinkling fragility, but gave even
the light, lyrical sections an
inner strength and substance.
The three Etudes were studies in
controlled strength, the
Nocturne in E major was
beautifully lyrical, and the
Scherzo in B flat minor, a
marvellous program finale, was
fiery and suitable grand.

for a dubious if not downright
invalid review, but "Tar River
Poets the newest of five
collections published by the
ECU Poetry Forum is as worthy
of unflinching praise as any
volume to appear locally in

Many of the poems are either
localized or current; Frederick

anticipate the title of the
collection, his habitually
southern settings becoming as
localized as Pitt Memorial

as well as current. They are
evenly paced and verbal'y
economic, with images that are
genuinely startling in their
accuracy appearing often enough
to catch the reader's mind
without inhibiting his absorption
of the idea being treated.
Though verbal economy is a
kind of poetic virtue, the real
test of a good poet is the
production of a poem whose
sheer length requires sustained
effort on one topic or in one
form. The repeated use of (one
could almost say the dependence
upon) one form in most of the
poems is only a technical
weakness; the absence of any
long poem whatsoever is a more
serious omission. Short,
free-verse lyrics are the easiest to
write and the most difficult to

of a free-verse lyric done
extremely well. There are many
other examples. The unobtrusive
discipline of rhythm and rhyme
are remarkable in several others,
where rhythm is a distinct
rocking cadence like some kind
of half-dissolved meter, and
rhyme is not accomplished at
the sacrifice of word

successfully.
Capps is most effective in his

The range of mood and subject
in this too-short sampling gives
the poet a chance to show more
technical proficiency than one
expects in so original a poet. The
poems are distinctly purposeful
and imaginatively accomplished,
even down to the conscious (but
not self-conscious, as perhaps
was true earlier) perfection of
words and phrases. Those poems
which demand several readings,
such as "Sixth June Day of
Public Death are well worth
the eflort; in fact, this reviewer
would like to see a lot more of
Griffin's poetry published,
preferably in the widely-read
publications it deserves.

ECU's second annual
Buccaneer Basketball School will
be held again this summer. All
boys in junior or senior high
school, excepting those who
have begun their senior year, will
be eligible. The three separate
sessions will be June 8-14, June
15-21, and July 20-26. Students
may enroll for more than one
session, but numbers will be
limited to assure each camper of
personal training and attention.
The schools's director, Coach
Tom Quinn, and Supervisor,
Kirk Stewart, will lead in the
comprehensive screening and
testing through which each
camper's strengths and
weaknesses can be critically
evaluated. They will give each
camper a step-by-step progress
report and recommend separate
practices and drills.
Tom Quinn has proved
himself a capable director as past
experience will show. He has
successfully directed similar
basketball programs in other
high schools and colleges. Last
year he began the first
Buccaneer Basketball School
whose success indicates an even
better program this year.
Kirk Stewart worked with
Quinn last year as supervisor. His
past experience in basketball
training includes working with
YMCA youth programs and as
Summer League director with
the Greenville Recreation
Department. Among other staff
members chosen to serve in the
school are numerous visiting
coaches from across the country,
university school counselors, the
university medical staff and the
university athletic trainer.
All dormitory students will
live in a university dormitory
and will have meals in the
regular cafeteria. These
dormitory students will pay
sixty dollars per session, and day
students will pay thirty-two
dollars. This fee includes rooms,
meals, tuition, insurance, and
counselors. The day student fee
includes tuition and insurance.

Governor Scott favors medical school
Governor Bob Scott endorsed
tne efforts of ECU to establish a
medical school and voiced full
support for. a second medical
school for the state.
"I am not opposed to the
idea of establishing another
state supported medical school
to train physicians to meet a
crisis we know is coming -
hich, in fact, is almost here
Scott said in an address to the
N.c. Mental Health Association
Thuisday evening.
"East Carolina University has
expressed a strong willingness to
begin a medical training
program Scott continues. "To
a layman like me, it appears
reasonable that we should build
on this beginning
Scott stated that "we should
not 'lock ourselves in' by
holding forever to the belief we
can have only one medical
scht ol and urged the Board of
Higher Education to "direct its
thinking and planning" around
the goa
ECU President Leo W.
Jenkins applauded Scott's
proposa, and pledged "to carry
out every part of it" in a
statement issued on the evening
of Scott's i.nnouncement.
"We h; -e been working with
this problem for several years
and feel vei confident that we
shall succeed in fulfilling this
challenge completely Dr.
Jenkins said.
The ECU President praised
the governors "tremendous
breakthrough in a problem area
that has been troubling all of us
for years. His actions to improve
medical services for rural areas
will serve as a model fo others.
and without doubt, achieve
national acclaim
Dr. Jenkins expressed
confidence in the necessary
cooperative effort a medical
school will require from "all
those who can make worthy
contributions
Scott voiced concern about
adequate health care for the
state in his address by citing it as
"one of the most critical
problems in the next decade
"We know our population
will increase at an ever
accelerating rate it will double

said.

It was a normal night.
The University Union was
quiet, a few white students were
studying at the tables in the Soda
Shop. Upstairs in Wright
Auditorium, a meeting of all
freshman students had been going
on since 7:30 p.m.
A few minutes after 8 p.m.
about 35 black students entered
the Union. They were talkative
and exhuberant about a set of
demands which had been
tendered to East Carolina
President Leo Jenkins the
previous week.
Jenkins released a statement
earlier that afternoon
commenting on the demands.
The black students anticipated
Jenkins' reactions and held a
press conference that morning to
reinforce their position of "no
compromise
Few people in the Union,
outside of the black students,
knew the results of either event.
The black students poured
through the sidedoor of the Soda
Shop and filled up the
unoccupied tables, sitting on top
of tables and the standup eating
counters which lined the wall of
the Soda Shop adjacent to the
Bookstore when there were no
more chairs.
They began playing the
jukebox, clapping and singing,
occasionally stopping to banter
with the white students in the
Union. Everyone was in high
spirits.
The black students were all
members of the Society of United
Liberal Students (SOULS) which
authored and distributed the
demands.
At 8:30 p.m. the General
College meeting ended. The
Union was flooded with
boisterous freshmen.
In the Soda Shop, a few of the
white students looked
apprehensively at what was

Dack students they had ever seen
,n one place in their stay at ECU.
Several campus policemen kept
surveillance over the situation,

blacks, who were trying
unsuccessfully to increase the
volume of the music.
The presence of the police
increased the level of tension
among the black students
perceptibly. Anticipation of
punitive action put people on
edge.
Minutes dragged by. A large
group of white students had
congregated along the length of
the soda fountain's counter.
Athletes were noticeably present
in unusual numbers. The
distinctive purple-and-gold
jackets seemed to multiply every
minute. To some observers, the
ingredients for riot were already
present.
The "solid soul" musical
program began to be punctuated
by distinctly "white" selections:
"Revolution" by the Beatles and
"Going Up the Country" by the
Canned Heat.
The sound of the Beatles'
alleged burlesque of the protest
movement, facetiously entitled
"Revolution antagonized some
of the black students, who
"pulled the plug" on the
jukebox.
What followed can best be
described as a spontaneous
session of speeches by various
members of SOULS. Johnny
Williams, president of SOULS,
began the impromptu program.
He was followed by various
members of the group, who
expressed their sentiments on the
situation of the black man on the
campus, in the nation, and
throughout the world.
Their voices were angry and
defiant, emotional and tense with
rage.
One student cynically
commented on the common
opinion expressed by
riyhtwingers that ghetto riots are
the result of an international
Communist conspiracy: "Why
glVe all the credit to the
CommunistsiWny not give some
to the brothers?
fi black coed rose and led the
group in chanting: "I may be
Black, but I'm somebody
Then an angry young man
wearing the orange-and-black
emblem of the Black Panther
Party began to denounce the
audience, repeating "This is not a
show and urging the blacks to
take up arms and attack the white
man. His words reflected a
tremendous internal tenJon.
A voice from the crowd
challenged him: "Do you think
you have the right to kill a man?
The room was completely
silent. People tensed in
anticipation.
The question was left
unanswered. But the seriousness
of the question remains. Is it
necessary to embrace the violence
of the revolutionary alternative in
order to achieve the rights of
human bi ings: dignity, respect,
and opportunity for fulfillment?
This question is, as yet,
unanswered. Should it prove
unanswerable to the majority of
Americans, the majority of white
middleclass Anglo-Saxon
Protestants who run this country,
then violence is certain to engulf
the nation in a second civil war.
The black students sang a song
- one of the "new" freedom
songs. It differed from the old
idealistic libertarian efforts of the
early sixties in both its frank
statement of aims and its lack of
romanticism.
As they left "to escort the
sisters back to the dorms they
promised to return, to hold other
meetings, to express their
grievances, to continue
demanding their "rights
The crowd at the counter
gradually melted away, discussing
what they had seen and heard. It
was a first for ECU.
Black students had faced a
crowd of white students that
outnumbered them two-to-one
and stated their grievences
without retaliation by the
audience.
They had said it. Some
people listened; others only
watched. The results of this
confrontation and others like it
will determine America.
Governor asked.
The 1965 General Assembly
turned down ECU's request for a
twe year medical school. A
group of medical deans was
authorized by the Legislature to
determine ECU's readiness for
such a program.
The School of Allied Health
Professions was approved by the
1967 General Assembly to offer
training for medical technicians,
medical record librarians, and
therapists. Governor Scott
included a request for funds to
house the School of Allied
Health in his biennium budget
last month, one of two requests
for buildings in the state.
Scott again voiced full
support for the allied health
sciences program in his address
Thursday evening.
Dr. Ed Monroe, dean of the
School of Allied Health, reacted
to Scott's medical school
proposal with pleasure and
concern for "the deteriorating
health situation of our rural
areas.
"I am very pleased with the
medical education proposal
presented by Governor Scott
this evening Dr. Monroe said in
his statement. "His proposed
plan of action to improve the
health of rural North Carolinians
will be received with joy and
acclaim in all of North Carolina
and particularly in the East,
where the health manpower
shortage is growing worse daily.
We welcome this
opportunity to demonstrate our
readiness to participate in the
solution of this urgent
problem continued Dean
Monroe. "I am confident that
our strengths and resources at
East Carolina, coupled with the
support and cooperation already
expressed from across the state,
will more than meet the
challenge presented to us tonight
- the challenge to develop a
comprehensive, forward-looking
means of meeting the health
needs of our rural citizens
Other proposals in Scott's
address included financial aid for
the state's two private medical
schools. Bowman Gray and
Duke, with the "stipulation that
these students upon graduation

in North Carolina a diagnostic
center for mentall retarded

at Chapel Hill.

Scott statement soars
hope for med school
Dr. Leo Jenkins' often stated desire for the addition of a
medical school to the university's facilities received a boost
last week when Governor Bob Scott endorsed the program
in a speech at the North Carolina Mental Health Association
in Raleigh.
He endorsed the addition of training facilities for
physicians in the light of growing health needs in North
Carolina. Without detracting from the medical school at
Chapel Hill, he called attention to what Dr. Jenkins calls
"one of the most pressing problems in our commonwealth
from the point of view of what is best for all the people of
North Carolina
Dr. Edwin W. Moore of Allied Health Professions here
said that in the rural areas of North Carolina, the
doctorpatient ratio is 30 doctors per 100,000 patients.
Metropolitan areas fare little better with 90 doctors per
100,000 patients.
Emphasizing the need for practitioners, Moore added
that even though the total number of graduating doctors
has increased significantly in the past five years, the number
of these physicians going into private practice in the
communities has decreased by five per cent.
When the consultants on Medical Education visited ECU
four years ago, their opinion was that this school did not
provide a rigorous enough technical background to support
such training.
However, four years have passed, and the stimulus and
guidelines gained from their visit have provided the
challenge and the means to consider this issue once again.
For instance, since that time all three science staffs -
physics, biology and chemistry- have grown (e.g. the
Biology Department now has 24 staff members, 21 of
which hold Ph.D. degrees, as compared with 17 at the time
of the consultants' visit).
The consultants also noted that there was no research in
biochemistry and molecular biology and very little research
in physiology. Typically since then, eight of nine new staff
members are active in research in these areas and two grants
have been awarded to old staff members.
According to the head of curriculum committee in the
Chemistry Department, Dr. Donald F. Clemens, their
curriculum has been totally revamped since the time of the
report. At the time of the consultants' visit, the Biology
Department had received three grants in previous years of
$9,000. Since then, there have been 11 grants for almost
$100,000.
Pre-medical majors have grown from two to 50. The
traditionally-approac 6 cell physiology required of all
biology majors, as noted by the consultants, has been
supplemented with a revised modern curriculum developed
with a nationally-recognized consultant, Dr. Edward J.
Kormondy and the Consultants on Independent University
Status.
All three departments have the sought-after master's
program, as approved by the Board of Higher Education.
The need for this program is obvious and so is its
potential. Not quite so obvious to the general public,
perhaps, is the controversy which will ensue over the
establishment and the location of such facilities.
Again this university, as it was in 1966, will be tossed
into a prominent position in state politics. The petty
arguments that have so long divided what could have been
an educationally forward state will once again be dragged
out by our legislators and hashed over in Raleigh.
There will be attacks on our president and our
university. There will be those who say that the only reason
Governor Scott endorsed the program was because of
Jenkins' active support during the past gubernatorial
campaign. No matter what these arguments will be, are we
so foolish here in North Carolina that we will allow petty
regional politics to interfere with our educational and
medical advancement?Above all, we must realize that the
need is not limited to eastern North Carolina - it involves
the whole of our society.
It is now time for North Carolina to present a united
front to combat society's two most pressing problems ?
ignorance and disease. Let the haves and the have-nots
combine their will and strength to transcend pettyness and
regionalism into a program of betterment for our society.

The All American "Rebel"
To The Editor:
We, as music students, would
like to see standard and uniform
criteria used by the music
faculty for grading voice
students.
In the past there has not been
an official criterion. A new
system of grading was supposed
to have gone into effect winter
quarter; however, the music
students never saw an official
notice of this change.
Formerly voice students
thought that they were being
graded on their effort and
progress from one quarter to the
next. The main reason for
dissatisfaction among voice
students is that students were
told that they had improved and
still they received a lower grade
than before. Obviously the voice
faculty cannot remember how
well a student sings from one
quarter to the next, having heard
the student only once the
preceding quarter.
The problem with a grading
system based on improvement is
that sooner or later students are
going to have to be graded
comparatively. Some music
students have had little or no
training before they entered the
School of Music. They feel they
have made remarkable progress
considering their background.
The entire grading system
needs to be revised. We need a
more concrete basis for out
grades than the opinions of
professors with hazy memories.
One member of the voice faculty
has stated that only five A's
were given this past quarter by
the voice jury. Yet after
checking all voice grades on the
faculty slips, we foune 19 A's
instead of five.
One voice teacher gave no
grades below B. Is it possible
that this teacher had no average
or below average students?
It seems unfair that one
teacher should have all the best
students. If all voice majors had
this teacher would we then all
be above-avarage voice students?
As voice students we would
like to have explanations of the
grading system and an official
criterion of grading posted for
all to see.
Dissatisfied Voice Students
Dear Editor,
In 1964, President Johnson
ran for the presidency on the
promise that "American boys
would not fight and die in South
East Asia Hesitantly, many
opponents of American military
intervention throughout the
world voted for Lyndon
Johnson as the most desirable of
two poor choices.
Mr Johnson declared that the
government of Saigon asked for
American aid to protect the
South Vietnamese from the
military aggression of the North
Vietnamese. This Mr. Johnson
used as the excuse for our
"legal" intervention in another
man's country.
Did Mr. Johnson forget that
the 1954 Geneva Conference
had divided Viet Nam for the
first time into two sections?Did
Mr. Johnson forget that the
French, English, and Americans
had promised to unite the
country in free elections in
1956? Did Mr. Johnson forget
that the "Big Three" had r
allowed those free elections to
be held because Ho Chi Minh
was the leading candidate?
As an American I object to
military intervention in any
other nation as immoral, illegal
under the United Nations
Charter, and extremely
unenlightened foreign policy.
I believe strongly in the
concepts of democracy. If free
elections in 1956 had united the
nation under the Marxist Ho Chi
Minh, I would accept it as
self determination. I am not an
apologist for Ho Chi Minh, bul
he is the most popular
Vietnamese simply because he
led the revolution which
succeeded in making Viet Nam
independent from France I
believe that nationalism is the
strongest force in world politics
today. I am convinced therefore
that Ho Chi Minh is first a
Vietnamese Jacobin, then a
supporter of Communist World
Revolution. For this reason, I do
not believe that China or Russia
is directing the North's invasion
of the South; although, they do
take advantage of it, and actively
support it with munitions.
I feel that within dictatorship
lies self destruction This
destruction must come from
within to be complete and to be
appreciated. Freedom must be
won by those who thirst for it.
The "end" does not always
justify the "means
