SCHOFIELD AND OWENS
VIE FOR SGA PRESIDENCY
Dear Fellow Students:
As election time draws near,
it is time for you, the students
of East Carolina University, to
evaluate each candidate and
make a responsible choice.
Since the movements of
government are very intricate,
you must not be apathetic or
indifferent, but make a definite
decision on the candidate that
you think is responsible and can
best serve your interest. It is
your Student Government
Association; take pride in it and
make it a more effective
organization to serve you, the
majority, not the minority elite.
Let us discuss a few
pertinent issues. In order for
this University to become a
more modern and productive
educational institution, it is
necessary to establish student
membership on all academic
and administrative committees.
I feel that this is necessary so
that the growing ne 's of the
students of this University will
have a voice in formulating and
working with the committees in
order that the students receive
the maximum from this
University.
11 is also necessary to
eliminate many handicaps to
the students and faculty by
revamping pre-registration; also
to have the SGA subsidize all
postage fees whereby all class
schedules will be mailed out to
each student rather than have
the student spend endi ss hours
picking it up. These are both
essential matters in updating
our University to better serve
and benefit the students.
It has been mentioned in the
past that there be a reading day
prior to all final examinations.
This I intend to make a reality.
I believe that you, the students,
would be better students and
also have better grades with one
day donated exclusively for
study. I also plan to have the
system of closed stu'ly for
freshman women investigated as
to the possible abolishment of
it.
I feel also that there arc
some things that should be
done for the monetary benefit
of all students. I plan to see the
reduction of the price of
student date tickets for
entertainment events and to
investigate the possibilities of
doing the same thing for
athletic events. I also plan to
see an increased subsidy for the
student loan fund so that more
students will be able to borrow
more money.
It will also be the purpose of
the SGA to initiate a tutorial
program where we will oversee
the bringing together of
students and tutor; also to
include a remedial studies
program. These will be for the
improvement and benefit of
any students who need these
services.
It is also my wish to
investigate the possibilities of
the creation of an
Afro American Studies
program. This will be
investigated thoroughly to
insure a program that will be of
the utmost benefit to all. Also,
it is my hope to initiate a plan
wherby all of the utmost
benefit to all. Also, it is my
hope to initiate a plan whereby
all
Space does not permit me to
discuss all of my plans. So I
have mentioned only the most
important. I will appreciate
your support and if elected, my
door is always open to you, my
constituents. I will try to serve
you in the betterment of East
Carolina University and your
SGA.
Thank you,
John Schofield
University Party
Candidate for President
Supporting letter for
John Schofield, cand-
idate for Presidency
Dear Fellow Students:
In the election next Tuesday
when we, the students of East
Carolina University, choose the
executive officers of the
Student Government
Association, we will be making
very important and far-reaching
decisions. For this reason I feel
it is very necessary that I
emphasize the importance of
the office of the President of
the Student Government, and
once again give the students the
outstanding qualification of
John Schofield for this office.
John is a history-political
science double major and urban
planning minor. I feel John
Schofield is highly interested in
helping East Carolina University
advance in any way possible.
John has shown this in his
continued efforts to represent
East Carolina University. This
past year he has server!
outstandingly as Secretary of
External Affairs. During John's
tenure. East Carolina attended
more conferences than any year
ever before. John's excellent
planning and co-ordination of
the delegations to these
conferences has greatly
increased our school's
reputation. I cannot emphasize
enough the competent job John
has done as Secretary of
External Affairs this past year.
For four years John
Schofield has been a delegate to
the State Student Legislature.
At these conferences he has
exhibited the type of leadership
required of the President of the
Student Government
Association. This year John
Schofield went as Chairman of
I asl Carolina's delegation to
SSL, and he led our delegation
to bring back the two most
outstanding awards, Best
Delegation and Best Bill Awards
for 1969. These honors show
the leadership ability of John
Schofield, and John is willing to
put all his abilities and energies
to work for the students of East
Carolina University as their
IS.G.A. executive officers
woman's judiciary, and
marshals will be chosen for the
next year in Tuesday's election
All poles will be open from
8:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. except
those in the Pamlico Room
lobby and the lobby of North
Cafeteria which will be open
until 6:30 p.m.
Candidates for offices of the
SGA will be as follows:
President John
Schofield,UP. Steve Owens, S.P
Vice-president Bob Whitley
S.P Brian Van Dercook, UP.
Secretary Carolyn
Breedlove, U.P. Peggy Sledd,
S.P.
Treasurer�- Steve Sharpe, S.P.
Gary Gasperini, UP
Historian- Chris Smith, U.P
Sip Beamon, S.P. Marion Barick,
Independent
Members of Women's
Judiciary will also be elected.
Eleven of the thirty-five who
have applied will be chosen.
They will consist of two seniors,
two juniors, two sophomores,
and five members at large.
Marshalls will be elected from
a field of thirty. Sixteen will be
elected with the next two with
the highest number of votes
acting as alternates.
Dan Summers, elections
chairman, said he was
"extremely pleased with the
response of the number of
people who have filed for
offices
Summers also added that
there would be an election
official riding around campus
with a megaphone urging people
to vote.
SGA President.
John Schofield is not
running for the office of
President without
qualifications; neither is he
running without plans and
goals. John wants to investigate
the merit of the present closed
study system used for freshmen
girls. John anticipates working
with the Women's Residence
Council, Dr. George Weigand,
and other officials in finding
out for the girls of East
Carolina whether or not closed
study is to their advantage.
John also wants to
modernize the pre registration
system, and I am sure such
efforts would be appreciated by
every student and advisor at
East Carolina. John wants a
charier; to tiy to remedy
everyone's big "gripe" about
pre registration.
Along the same line, John
hopes to initiate an open day
for drop add in which classes
will not be held. During the
open day, students wishing to
drop or add courses would be
aided in knowing what courses
were open and closed by closed
circuit television. John also has
the student's benefit in mind
when he anticipates having our
class schedules mailed to us
rather than having to pick them
up on registration day.
Yes, these are the
qualifications which make John
Schofield the man for President
of our Student Government
Association in 1969 1970. As
you can see, John does have
plans for our Student
Government, and above all, he
is willing to work very
diligently to aid in the
continued advancement of our
growing school. If you want a
Student Government President
who will be willing to talk to
you about your problems and
ideas and who has dynamic
plans for our next college year,
I feel you must cast you vote
on Tuesday for John Schofield.
Sincerely,
Phyllis Watson
Editor's Note: Following are
interviews with the two
candidates for President of the
Student Government
Association John Schofield
and Steve Owens.
by James Hord, Editorial Assistan
John Schofield, a senior
history and political science
major, with a minor in urban
planning, is running for SGA
President on the University
Party Ticket.
Q: Before we get started
with the campaign issues, give
us some information about
yourself.
A: My hometown is Raleigh,
N.C. and I am a 1965 graduate
of Broughton High School. am
currently the secretary 0f
External Affairs here at ECU,a
member of Phi Kappa Tau
social fraternity, and have been
a delegate to the State Student
Legislature for the past four

My career intentions are law
school, or employment with a
governmental planning agency.
Drop add Complaints
Q: Many students have
complained about the
pre registration and drop a'
system here at East Carolina.
What is your program for
dealing with this?
A: Preregistration at ECU is
certainly an archaic system. It
should not take as much time as
it doe
I propose a drop add system
modeled after the political
science departments setup
Under this program, one
professor handles the entire
procedure for all the students in
the department. This eliminates
the problem of having to waste

Q: How do you feel about
the present student loan
program?
A: Under the present system
a student can borrow a
maximum of $25.00 for only a
short period of time. I would
like to see this increased, but it
will depend on the budget.
Black Studies
Q: What do you think of the
black student's demands for
campus reform?
A: I have been working hard
for the creation of a black
Studies program here at ECU
Also, I agree with the hiring of
black professors, provided they
are qualified.
Some of the demands cannot
be instituted by ECU, however.

AS0 the demand that

Q What are your plans for

Council?
A I would like to see a
representative from each of
these organizations on the
executive council of the
Student Government

increase communications
between these three bodies (the
SGA, MRC, and WRC), which is
currently lacking.
It is also my wish to
investigate the possibilities of
the creation of an
Ad o American Studies
program. This will be
investigated thoroughly to
insure a program that will be of
the utmost benefit to all. Also,
it is my hope to initiate a plan
whereby all of the laundry

be done in Belk Dorm.

Regional Development
Q Do you have any special
off campus programs for
developing the region of
Eastern North Carolina?
A: Yes. I would like to see
the education department offer
a few senior graduate courses in
teaching illiterate adults how to
read and write.
Much concern has been
generated over the poor blacks
and whites in this region who
cannot read or write, or even
count money. They are left to
the mercy of the merchants,
who have sometimes exploited
them. Under the adult literacy
program, this problem could be
greatly diminished.
Q: Could you summarise the
main course of action that the
SGA would take under your
leadership?
A: Yes. I would try to get
the SGA involved in more
activities, both on and off
campus. It should look outward
as well as inward, to make for a
bigger and better ECU.
Steve Owens is a junior
majoring in business
administration. He is running
for SGA president on the
Student Party ticket.
Q: Steve, could you give us
some information about
yourself, such as hometown,
clubs and organizations, etc.?
A: I'm originally from
Plymouth, but currently live in
Greenville. I'm on the
Executive Committee of the
Student Party, a member of
Kappa Alpha social fraternity,
and a member of Phi Beta
Lambda business fraternity.

Q What are some major
points in your program if
elected?
Pep Band
A I would like to have a
Spirit Committee Cheerleader, a
pep band for the basketball
games, and expand the External
Affairs Office to include more
students.
Also something needs to be
done with drop add. A lot of
students have griped about this,
and it seems to be a big
problem at this school.
Q How do you feel about
the black students' demands for
campus reform?
A: Black students should
have the right to express their
opinions. I don't agree with the
way they are going about these
demands, however.
I think that financial aid
should be given to the black
students, and maybe a black
studies program should be
looked into. I don't see
anything wrong with hiring
black professors, as long as they
are qualified.
Keep "Dixie"
Also, "Dixie" should not be
banned. To me, "Dixie" is an
emotional song about the
South, and has nothing to do
with slavery. The blacks should
be able to keep their songs and
culture if they want to.
Q: How do you feel about
black supervisors in
Maintenance Department?
A: Well, you have to have
supervisors, and I don't care if
they are black, as long as they
are qualified. Higher wages are
up to the administration, not
the SGA.
Q: Do you have any plan to
change drop add and
pre registration?
A: Yes. Professors should be
required to stay in their offices
more hours than they do now.
One of the main problems now
is chasing professors all over
campus for class cards, forms,
etc.
Also, I think we should have
a uniform procedure for
dropping courses in all the
departments. This would not
permit various departments to
set up different precedures
from the rest of the school,
such as the business department
has done.
Change Curfew
Q: What do you think about
the present women's curfew
hours?
A: There should be some
restrictions on the freshmen
and sophomores. But the
juniors and seniors should be
able to set their own hours,
with parental permission.
Q: What is your opinion of
campus publications?
A: I think they are all pretty
good. I would like to see a
column established in "The
East Carolinian" to let the
students know what is going on
in the SGA.
At the present time I have
no program for the "Rebel"
and "Key If they can show
that they need an increase in
the budget, and the money is
available, it will be increased.
v a n �I i �1 a t e
letter
To the students:
Election time has once again
come upon ECU, giving
students the opportunity to
express their desires as to the
type of government they want
for their campus. This is a very
necessary function in a
student's career. The SGA
spends approximately one
quarter of a million dollars of
the students' money for various
projects. This alone is a very
qood reason why each student
should show interest in his own
welfare and vote. The executive
officers can only be a product
of those who elect them.
Too often the SGA has been
thought of as a "do nothing-
organization. Promises are made
at election time, and for some
reason they are lost during the
year. Both parties must take the
responsibility for this. What is
needed to insure action is a
strong two-party system. The
Student Party is pledged to do
its part to make a strong
two-party system.
During the past year the
University Party has completely
dominated the Student
Legislature and controlled four
out of five executive offices.
Our position in the Student
Legislature has been greatly
handicapped by our inability to
oppose legislation which we felt
was being pushed through. The
leaders of the University Party
have not been forced to carry
through with their promises.
If I am elected I will
maintain good communications
between the SGA and the
student body. I would like to
establish a permanent column
in "The East Carolinian" to
inform the students of the
activities in the executive
branch.
I also hope to expand the
functions of the External
Affairs office to include
activities which will be
beneficial to more students.
During the past year, I
served on the Spirit Committee
as a cheerleader and have
realized the importance of spirit
to our teams. I hope to work in
cooperation with the athletic
department and SGA in
establishing a Pep Band for all
basketball games.
The Student Party platform
this year offers many needed
changes. Some of the most
outstanding are: (1) to extend
library hours and to provide
better service during these
hours, (2) to establish a
uniform procedure for dropping
a course, and (3) during
drop add and pre-registration all
instructors should be required
to be in their offices from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. except during
classes and lunch hours. Also
included in the platform is (4)
the establishment of
student-faculty committees in
every department. We must
have these corrections with
such a fast growing student
body.
All these goals cannot be
met by the President alone. The
Student Party is offering the
best possible slate of
candidates. We are all dedicated
to carrying out the Student
Party platform. Bob Whitley,
Vice-President; Peggy Sledd,
Secretary; Steve Sharpe,
Treasurer; and Sip Beamon,
Historian, are all anxious to
develop a new enthusiasm for
student government on this
campus. Knowing each of them
as I do, I feel we can work
together for an SGA that each
student can be proud of.
The objectives which I have
proposed will be achieved
during the coming year;
however, certain problems exist
which must be solved in the
near future. The recent
demands of the Negro students
have caused much discussion. I
feel that some of these
demands, such as a proposed
black studies program and more
financial aid for Negro students,
are reasonable and can be met.
However, I disagree with the
proposals to ban "Dixie" and
remove Confederate flags from
buildings. I also feel that the
way to find progress is not in
demanding, but rather in
compromising.
Another problem is tne
proposed campus transit
system. The system is an
excellent idea and is needed at
East Carolina. However, the
system proposed by the
University Party lacks insight
into the needs of the students.
More than three buses will be
needed during the peak rush
hours to serve the students. Day
students should not be force to
finance a transportation system
which will not benefit them.
These and many other problems
in the system mi. be taken
care of before the SGA spends
$4800 for the trial period of
fifteen days of service.
These are just some of the
problems which will be faced
next year. I am confident that
with new leadership by the
Student Party, we can arrive at
successful conclusions. I ask for
your support, not only for
myself, but for all the Student
Party. Together we can build a
better SGA. I hope you will
consider each of the Student
Party candidates, and use your
vote on Tuesday, March 25.
Thank you,
Steve Owens
Supporting Steven Owens
To the students,
It has been my pleasure to
know Steve Owens, Student
Party candidate for President of
the SGA, for three years. We
first met when I was a hall
proctor in Jones Dormitory,
and Steve was a freshman. Steve
qu.ckly showed his ability by
obtaining a 2.8 average in his
first year while many of his
friends on the hall flunked out.
Steve always seemed to be able
to study when it was time to
study and enjoy the many card
games when he had time. He
soon got the reputation on the
hall as a leader and a "good
guv
Since that time, three years
ago, Steve has continued to
show his leadership ability and
enthusiasm for East Carolina.
He has been the ECU Pirate this
past year as well as a regular
member of the cheering squad.
He is a member of Phi Beta
Lambda business fraternity and
Kappa Alpha Order. In Kappa
Alpha, Steve has been an IFC
Representative, Athletic
Chairman, member of the
Prudential Committee, and is
presently serving as Treasurer.
He has worked with Summer
Orientation and is currently on
the Executive Committee of the
Student Party. After all this, he
has still maintained a good
average.
However, all this does not
tell you about Steve Owens as
an individual. Steve has the
kind of personality and drive
that a good SGA President must
have. Steve has had to work
each summer in a paper mill
just to be able to attend school.
He is not one to slide out of
work but accepts it and does an
outstanding job. I feel this
speaks for the type of character
Steve Owens has and is able tc
convey to others.
Thank you,
Steve Morrisette

treasurer
Fellow Voter,
A concerned voter will vote
for the most qualified
candidate. As a concerned
voter, I will be voting for the
person that I feel is most
qualified for the office of
treasurer, Gary Gasperini, on
Tuesday, March 25.
Gary Gasperini has been
active in student government
activities which are related to
the office of treasurer since his
freshman year here. As a
freshman, he first began S.G.A.
work as the Assistant Public
Defender of the Men's Judiciary
and as Chairman of the Student
Polls Committee. He later
served as Chairman of the Rules
Committee of the legislature,
where during summer school he
aided im making many financial
appropriations to campus
organizations.
His sophomore year also
gave him a vast amount of
training in the duties of the
office of treasurer: serving as
President of the Sophomore
class and as a member of the
Executive Council, both of
which have many dealings with
financial problems. Some of his
experience in monetary affairs
has been obtained by serving as
the Executive Committee
Chairman of the transit system
which will begin its trial period
in the next few weeks.
A complete knowledge of
the S.G.A. is the first
requirement for a person to be
an effective treauurer. Not only
does Gary Gasperini meet this
first requirement by his
experience on the legislative,
executive, and judicial branches
of the S.G.A but he also
satisfies the second requirement
by being a business major.
As the outgoing Treasurer of
the Student Government
Association, I endorse Gary
Gasperini as the most qualified
candidate for the office of
treasurer.
Sincerely,
Buford Davis
Fellow Students:
Your money should be
handled with care. The funds of
the Student Government
Association are your money
since the S.G.A. is financed by
you and a servant to you. The
Treasurer of the S.G.A. has the
responsibility to see that your
money, which is entrusted to
him is managed properly, 'n
order to do this, there must be
a responsible and
knowledgeable Treasurer, so
that the various activities and
appropriations of campus
organizations are most
beneficial to you.
The responsible and
knowledgeable person to
manage your money should
have a knowledge of the
legislative, executive, and
judiciary branches of your
S.G.A. � of which I have served
in all branches. He should also
have a knowledge of accounting
procedures and economic
thought similar to what I have
learned by being an Economics
major.
The most important person
here at East Carolina University
is you. You, being important,
should be made aware of where
your- money is being spent.
After all, it is your S.G.A. If
elected, my plans are to make a
monthly statement to you
every month which would be
printed in "The East
Carolinian" immediately after
such a statement was prepared.
If you wished to know of
certain expenditures made by
the S.G.A. before the statement
was printed in the newspaper, I
would always be happy to
answer any of your questions or
hear any of your opinions by
keeping the office door open to
you.
On Tuesday, March 25th,
please take a close look at the
office of treasurer before you
vote. The position of treasurer
is extremely important in that
he advises the executive
legislature and other
organizations on the financial
workability of the S.G.A.
programs.
Thank you,
Gary Gasperini
STEVEN SHARPE
GARY GASPERINI
Dear Fellow Students,
On March 25, we will go to
the polls and select our SGA
executive officers, including the
Treasurer. I would like to
submit for your consideration
Steve Sharpe as our next SGA
Treasurer. Steve has, in my
opinion, the four qualities that
I deem necessary for any
successful executive officer �
leadership, responsibility,
experience, and enthusiasm. I
have worked with Steve in the
SGA since he was a freshman
and can attest to his interest,
concern, and ability to serve the
student body.
For example, during his
freshman year Steve was elected
to the Legislature where he
served on the Budget and Rules
Committees. He also served on
the Internal Affairs Committee
and as the Campus Co ordinator
of CHOICE '68. In the spring
he was chosen by the members
of the Student Party to be its
Vice-Chairman.
This year, Steve was again
elected to the Legislature where
he n ow assu mes the
co-chairmanship of the
powerful Rules Committee. He
is also the chairman of the
"Red Tape" Committee which
is trying to reform such matters
as drop-add, plus serving his
fellow students by working in
the Popular Entertainment
Committee, Public Relations
Committee, and the Family
Life Committee. Steve is
presently Chairman of the
Student Party.
Steve's other activities
include the Sigma Chi Delta
fraternity where the brothers
have elected him during his two
years in the fraternity as
Corresponding Secretary,
Pa r I i a m e n tarian, and
Vice-President.
Extracurricular activities can
demonstrate leadership and
enthusiasm, but in selecting a
Treasurer we need more. The
Treasurer will be responsible for
dispersing nearly a quarter of a
million dollars to nearly thirty
different student sponsored
organizations. Steve is a
Business Administration major
and has worked closely with
many of the organizations that
receive SGA money. It is
imperative that we have a
Treasurer who has had working
experience with these
organizations in determining
whether their budgetory
requests are valid. Because of
this factor and his
demonstrated capabilities and
hard work in the Legislature, I
am voting for Steve Sharpe for
Treasurer. I hope that you will
join me. Thank you.

Dear Students:
For the past two years it has
been my priviledge to serve you
in the Student Government
Association Legislature. I have
been deeply aware of the
responsibility that has been
entrusted to me and it has been
my purpose to devote all my
time, effort, and energy to the
representation of the students
of East Carolina University.
In previous campaigns, I
pledged that I would represent
the students in a fair manner. I
firmly believe that I have done
this. It is also my firm belief
that if representative
government is to be successful,
it must have the fullest possible
participation by all the
students. Therefore, I am asking
the students of East Carolina
University to support and elect
me treasurer of the SGA.
Qualifications are important
in any election and I feel it is
necessary for me to introduce
to the students of ECU some of
my qualifications. I am a
business administration major.
During my freshman year I
served on the Internal Affairs
Committee, i.i the Legislature,
on the Rules Committee of the
Legislature, and on the
Budget-Checking Committee,
all SGA related activities. Also I
served as Campus Coordinator
of the National Choice '68
Elections and as vice-chairman
of the Student Party.
This year I have served you
on the Popular Entertainment
Committee, in the Legislature,
as Chairman of the "Red Tape"
Committee, and as a member of
the Public Relation and Family
Life Committees. I am
presently serving as Chairman
of the Student Party. have
served Sigma Chi Delta
Fraternity as Parliamentarian
and Vice President.
I have tried to represent all
the students fairly and in a
manner I would want to be
represented. It has also been a
source of great satisfaction to
me that I have been able assist
the students in the SGA.
I want to continue my work
in the SGA for the students of
ECU and I am grateful for the
encouragement I am receiving
in this campaign. It is my hope
that you elect me treasurer of
the SGA on Tuesday, March 25.
Sincerely,
Steven L. Sharpe,
Candidate for Treasurer
secretary
Fellow Students,
I seldom have the
opportunity to publicly express
my opinion about a candidate,
and I rarely have the chance to
write for someone who is as
qualified for the position they
are seeking as Carolyn Breelove,
who is seeking the office of
Secretary of our SGA.
In my three years of
association with Carolyn, she
has always been conscientious
and dependable. She has an
interest in our university and its
betterment that is shown in her
hard work on such committees
as the Homecoming Committee
and the Red Tape Committee,
of which she is secretary.
Carolyn is willing to work for
what she believes in. This is
evident when you consider that
she is a marshal and Public
Relations Secretary.
In the coming election you,
the voter, have a choice; why
not choose the best? If you
want a conscientious secretary,
vote for Carolyn Breedlove. If
you want a secretary with your
interests in mind, vote for
Carolyn Breedlove. Your vote
for Carolyn will be a vote in
your favor.
Voting for Carolyn,
Dan Bland
Dear Students,
It's Spring and again as in all
ECU Spring Quarters the trees
have come alive, not with
leaves, but with colorful
banners and posters. Even with
all their color and smiles these
posters signify something quite
serious to the future of East
Carolina. They indicate that
next Tuesday we must decide
which five people will assume
the leadership responsibilities
necessary for a successful and
effective Student Government.
As the University Party's
candidate for SGA Secretary, I
feel very strongly that our
decisions must be given careful
consideration. We should set up
a system of values by which we
choose upon personal merit. To
choose by any other means
would be to cheat ourselves of
the best leadership.

Thank you,
Peggy Sledd
Fellow Students,
You as the voting students
of this school are fortunate to
have two qualified candidates
running for the office of SGA
secretary. In the election next
week, you have a choice to
make. The Student Party
candidate, Peggy Sledd, has the
skill and qualities necessary for
the office of secretary. Peggy
has participated on several
student government committees
and therefore has a knowledge
of the way your SGA works. In
addition to her experience,
Peggy has two years left in
school to serve the student
government. She is familiar
with the responsibilities of this
office and is eager to accept
these responsibilities.
Because of her experience,
skill, and desire to serve, we
urge you to vote for Peggy for
your Student Government
Secretary.
Sincerely,
Jean Harvey
Dear Students,
Being a transfer student
from Stratford College is a
handicap for me because I have
not met many of you - much
less worked in East Carolina's
Student Government. However,
I would not have accepted the
nomination to run as the
Student Party's candidate for
historian had I not felt
qualified.
While attending Stratford I
served as Secretary of Judicial
Board and was a member of the
Executive Board. Tracing back
further to high school, I was a
member of student council,
served as Assembly Chairman of
Ways and Means; and lastly, I
was elected President of the
Student Cooperative
Association. Here at East
Carolina University, I am a hall
proctor, member of House
Council and Student Party
Publicity Chairman. But, just
because I have been active in
student government in the past
doesn't mean that I would be a
good historian, right? Right!
Because a good historian should
be creative and should enjoy
her work, for she has to make a
scrapbook composed of all
student government activities.
A good historian should also be
efficient, for she is to "compile
an annual report of student
activities and submit this report
to East Carolina University
President and Dean of Student
Affairs
Experience counts, but my
being initiative, dependable,
and imaginative are of extreme
importance, too.
I would like very much to
serve East Carolina University
as historian, but I can't fulfill
this desire without your
support.
Sincerely,
"Sip" Beamon
Candidate for Historian
To the Editor:
Sip Beamon is my favorite
candidate for SGA Historian
and I hope that she will be
yours. Sip is one of the most
enthusiastic and
hardest-working girls I have had
the pleasure to know. As a
member of Executive Council,
Sip will be an asset to a stronger
student government and an
outstanding representative of
East Carolina.
Sip's ability to assume
responsibility dates back to
high school in Suffolk, Va
where she was President of the
Student Body. Sip is a junior
transfer student from Stratford
College. At Stratford she was
secretary of the Judicial Board,
which is similar to our Honor
Council, and she was voted one
o f seven outstand ing
sophomores. A physical
education major, Sip was
captain of the tennis and
basketball teams.
Though Sip has been at East
Carolina a short while, she has
jumped into campus activities.
She is Publicity Chairman for
the Student Party, a member of
Phi Epsilon Mu, a member of
House Council in Fletcher, and
a pledge of Alpha Delta Pi
Sorority.
Please remember Sip
Beamon at the polls March
25th.
Marty Almon
In addition, I feel that both of
these parties have exceptional
qualities: however, they also
have weak points. I hope that I
can discriminate between the
strong and weak points of these
two parties and as an individual
represent the combined
strengths.
For my platform, I propose
the following:
To list in the 1969 70 Key
the Qualifications and Duties of
the Historian. These are:
Qualifications:
- The Historian shall have
been in attendance as a student
at East Carolina University for
at least three (3) consecutive
quarters proceeding his
elect'on.
- The Historian shall have
and maintain a "C" average.
Duties:
- To keep an up to-date
record of all recognized
organizations sponsored by the
SGA and of their constitutions.
- To maintain the official
student government scrapbook,
which shall be available and
up-to-date at all times.
- To compile an annual
report of student activities for
the President of East Carolina
University and the Dean of
Student Affairs.
- To perform all other
duties of such an office.
I hope to display the
scrapbook from the preceeding

IA Sense 01 Style I
by Don Pierce . �
"La Dolce Vita" not as advertised
"I went to Philadelphia
once, it was closed
He hated dogs, children,
nagging wives. He was a
constant drinker, an eternal foe,
of the establishment. W.C.
Fields was a revolutionary of
another era.
There are thousands of
stories about Fields; most are
true. It is true that he used to
drink two double martinis every
day before breakfast, and that
he slept on a pool table instead
of in a bed. However, despite
his many social faults and odd
habits, W.C. Fields has emerged
as perhaps the greatest all-time
comic.
It is a trait of style that style
is a personal thing, the finishing
"touch" on a person. Style is
something that is instantly
recognized as belonging to only
one particular person. One's
style is never the style of
another. So it was with Fields.
The mannerisms are familiar
enough: the flowery speech, the
bulbous red nose, the rasping
monotone that invoked such
lines as: "Women are like
elephants to me, I like to look
at them, but I wouldn't want to
own one
Fields was a rebel. Even in a
Hollywood filled with zany
personalities. Fields stood out
as one of the most colorful
personalities. Field's
relationships with people were
constantly enriched by his
maniacal sense of humor.
Fields had a dwarf named
Blanche who was his comic
"stooge When the dwarf came
to work for Fields, he did not
have any teeth. Fields bought
Blanche a set of false teeth.
Soon there was trouble.
Whenever the dwarf would
refuse to do as Fields had
ordered, W.C. would wrestle
Blanche to the ground, pull out
the false teeth, and hold them
as ransom until Blanche did as
ordered.
Fields off-screen was exactl
like Fields on-screen. His
running feud with child star
Baby Leroy is movie legend.
Fields once put gin into Baby
Leroy's milk bottle after the
kid had been stealing scenes
from him. Baby Leroy passed
out for the day, and Fields
continued to film with all
attention on himself.
Fields' drinking habits are
well known. When he was in
vaudeville, earning five
thousand dollars a week as a
star juggler, he carried with him
three large wooden trunks, tvo
of costumes, one of liquor.
One night Fields and writer
Gene Fowler were prowling the
back country of the deep south,
when their car became wedged
on a railroad crossing. They
tried to push it out, but the
stubborn car refused to move.
A train was coming, and Fowler
began to jettison props and
costumes.
Fieldsgrabbed his liquor
trunk, paid no attention to his
juggling props,andheand
Fowler sat down for a drink. As
the train ran through the
crossing, Fieldsand Fowler
were just finishing their first
double martini. (Next week,

atrociously cut, mangled
beyond belief.
Fellini's film quickly became
controversial when it was
released in 1961. Many critics
regard itasa masterpiece.
Masterpieces have been ruined
before by foolish cutting, but
to advertise a serious work of
art as unabridged when it has
been considerably altered is an
inexcusable deception of the
public and a travesty against the
film's creator.
I saw the film seven years

the movie opened with a shot
of a large statue of Christ being
transported beneath a
helicopter high over Rome. It
was a visual effect not soon
forgotten, but is entirely absent
from this version.
Originally, a very important
part of the movie concerned a
sensitive intellectual who finally
commits suicide. He completely
disappears from this butchered
version. Also missing from the
film: the attempted suicide of
Marcello's mistress, the sham
religious miracle, and three
sequences concerning Steiner,
Marcello's intellectual friend.
These ep isodes were not
excised accidentally. Nor was
there an attempttocensor

from salacious.) The cu s

Marcello Rubini isa

competitive whirl of yellow
journalism. The society which
supplies him with his scandal
stories is made up of bored
sophisticates and pseudo-artists,
despairing intellectuals, deviates
of all kinds, a listless aristocracy
which has plumbed the depths
of degeneracy, and all the
jackal-hyena types who prey
around the famous. The film is
a welter of episodes, varying
from uninhibited debauchery to
screaming hysteria to poignant
and pathetic wist fulness.
Marcell, smothered in
the inhuman tendency of his
life, can nonetheless find no
recourse but to immerse himself
still further in depravity.
One leaves the film feeling
that he has participatd in a
deuauchery which jadesand
alienates from innocence.
Marcello "can't understand" a
young girl whosmilingly
beckons him away from his
coterie of acquaintances. Her
innocent, questioning smile
ends the film even as the benign
face of Christ opened it. And all
between is madness.

disclaims responsibility for the
cutting, which shortened the
film from a scheduled 180
minutes to 140.)

The film is handled as

I have had occasion to
witness the efficiency and
dedication of Marion Barick in
the SGA. As Chairman of the
Steering Committee for the
Faculty-Student Administration
Forum, she has labored hard
and long for the students at this
University. She is a capable
legislator and performed
admirably at the N.C. Security
Council last fall.
The office of historian is one

qualifications of the candidates
and in the privacy of the ballot

Playhouse's 'Summer tree'
whimsical, tragic, and vita
by Jim Slaughter
drama instructor
Some urgently vital personal
problems of our time are
explored in "Summertree the
next production by the East
Carolina Playhouse, which opens
for a four-night run March 26 in
McGinnis Auditorium.
The play was one of the most
acclaimed plays of the year in
New York in 1968, when its
author, Ron Cowen, was 22
years old.
"Summertree" looks wryly
upon the war in Vietnam, upon
the sense of frustration in many
young people today over an
inability to accomplish their
goals in a conventional society,
and upon the anguish of parents
and children who, though loving
each other, find themselves in
conflict with each other - all
this through a dramatized series
of a young man's reveries as they
swing back and forth through
past memories, present fears and
a future doom in a war the
young man abhors.
Whimsical and Tragic
In a play that is whimsical,
funny and tragically sad, these
memories lip across the young
man's mind - and are bodied
forth on the stage - as in one of
the day dreams he once indulged
on lazy summer afternoons
beneath a beloved big tree in his
family back yard.
Here, in his mind as he sits in
the shade of the tree, come his
doting mother, his father who
loves him but wants him to
become another kind of person,
his affectionate sweetheart who
understands him, and a
personification of himself as a
child - all helping him replay
the story of his life.
A dimension of reality that
seems realer-than- real, as if seen
at the moment of dying,
envelopes these characters, who
have no names and could be all
of us.
Critical Success
"Summertree" was one of the
most warmly praised plays to
reach New York in several
seasons.
Critics welcomed it as being
eloquent, universal, compelling,
perceptive and intelligent.
It was presented in 1968 as
part of a series introducing new
young playwrights,
supplementary to the main "big
season" of the Repertory
Theatre of Lincoln Center, and
it was scheduled for a four-week
run.
The play, however, drew such
thronging audiences that it was
continued for sixteen weeks, and
it was given a Drama

being one of the outstanding
productions of the season.

Loan program
fares decline
(ACP) Federal
contributions to the National
Defense student loan program
will drop for the first time since
the program was started 10
years ago if Congress adopts the
proposed budget for next year.
The budget for fiscal 1970
would provide about $31.5
million less money for 44,000
fewer loans than in the current
year.
Reduction of budget
obligations for the National
Defense loans from $193.4
million this year to $161.9
million in 1970 is anticipated.
The number of students
receiving these loans would
drop from about 442,000 to
398,000.

opens
season
ECU's Crew team opened
their '69 season over quarter
break with four meets in
Florida
Their first race was with the
University of Tampa, which the
Bucs won easily by six boat
lengths, or 24 seconds.
The JV lost by two lengths.
The team then traveled to
Lakeland, Florida, for a meet
with Florida Southern. Facing a
40 mph wind, the varsity
competed, while the JV won by
forfeit when the Fla. Southern
coach decided it was too rough
for his team to row.
The varsity lost by four
seconds. Winter Park, Fir was
the team's next stop, for a
contest with Rollins Collegs,
one of the top six schools at
last year's Pod Vail Regatta.
Again the team took a loss, and
again by four seconds, but they
scored a much better time for
the race than their previous
one, and it later turned out to
be the best time they had while
in Florida, at 6:12. Rollins
recorded a 6:08. The JV took
their contest by six to eight
lengths.
Jacksonville was the team's
last stop, meeting two teams in
the University of Jacksonville,
and the University of Alabama.
East Carolina downed both
the teams, with a fine spirit,
after they had trailed until that
time. In the JV contest, East
Carolina lost to Alabama, and
beat the Univ. of Jacksonville
by a few seats.
The Citadel will be the
team's next competition, March
29, at Charleston.
This year's team is composed
of, cox'n Steve Mable, a three
year man; stroke, Dennis
Mountcastle, a two year man;
Brown Mins, two years; Dick
Fuller, two years; Dave
Williams, two years; Hank
Milligan, 1st year. Bob Fuller,
two years; John Findley, three
years, and Rick Logan, 1st year.
The only previously
experienced men on the team
are Bud Alexander who rowed
for George Washington High
School, John Findly, who
rowed for Washington and Lee
High School, and Rick Logan,
who rowed for Clark
University.
by John Lowe
Wayne King fired a
three hitter and Roy Taylor and
Ken Graver supplied the
firepower as East Carolina
downed the Ithaca College
Bombers by 3 0 in their home
opener. The win evened the
Perates' record at 11.
Taylor got the Pirates on the
way with the first home run of
the year for East Carolina in the
second inning to give King a 1 0
lead, which, as it turned out
was all he needed. Ken Gravei
gave the Jacksonville native two
more insurance runs with a
two run homer in the seventh
inning to wind up the Pirates'
GOLF
East Carolina's golf team
finally opened their season
Tuesday with a match against
Atlantic Christian College,
downing the Bulldogs by 16-2,
with the Bucs taking all but one
match.
The Buc's first scheduled
match, against Campbell
College, was postponed. A
make-up date has not yet been
set.
The Bulldog's John
McDustrell, the only ACC
player to win, downed Mike
Schlueter, the Buc's number
one man. McDustrell defeated
Schlueter, 2 1.
The remainder of the match
went as follows:
Jack Williams, (ECU),
defeated Joey Gilbert, 3 0;
Marshall Utterson, (ECU),
defeated Bill Hackett, 3 0;
Vernon Tyson, (ECU), defeated
Danny Brown, 3 0; Joe Tyson,
(ECU), defeated Harry McKaig,
3-0; and Vance Whicker, (ECU),
defeated Ray Wooten, 3 0.
East Carolina's next match
will be with the University of
South Carolina at Myrtle Beach,
S.C on March 25, and then

scoring.
Meanwhile, King was keeping
the Bombers in check as he
struck out 11 while only
walking three. In only one
inning, the seventh, did he not
strike out at least one batter.
Joseph Lapierre pitched a
good game for Ithaca, but he
made two mistakes and they
both cost him. Lapierre went
seven full innings before retiring
for a pinch hitter. He struck out
six and walked two during his
stay. Gail Wrighter mopped up
for the Bombers, striking out
two of the three men he faced.
Ithaca threatened in the first
inning when Richard Miller
walked after two were out and
Jerry Gardner reached base on
Jimmy Lanier's error at third,
but King settled down to get
Richard Goodwin out on a fly
to center.
East Carolina then moved
ahead 10 as Taylor drove one
far over the left centerfield
fence in the bottom of the
second.
The Bombers got a man to
third base in the third as Dale
Dirk doubled after two were
out and then moved up on a
wild pitch. However, he was left
standing there as King struck
out Miller to retire the side.
In the sixth, Keith Kurowski
opened the frame with a single
to right for Ithaca. Miller
walked one out later and both
runners moved to third on a
ground out. King then got
Richard Goodwin on a fly to
center to retire the side.
East Carolina, meanwhile,
was having problems with
Lapierre's curve ball, as they
weren't able to put men on
base.
In the seventh, the roof
caved in foi Lapierre as Taylor
opened the inning with a single
down the third base line to left.
Graver then followed,
unloading his first hit of the
year far over the left field
fence, making it 3 0. Jerry
Rawls walked, but Ithaca got
out of the inning as Len Dowd
popped to the pitcher and King
hit into a double-play to end
the inning.
Ithaca got men on base in the
eighth and ninth, but could not
get them around.
Taylor was the only Pirate to
get two hits, with his homer
and single. Len Dowd and Stu
Garrett each got singles in
addition to Graver's homer for
the five East Carolina hits.
For Ithaca, Dirk had a
double, Kurowski a single, and
pinch hitter Robert Borowicz
also got a single for their three
hits.
The Pirates, now with a 1-1
mark, will face Ithaca again
today at 3 p.m. North Carolina
comes in for a 3 p.m. game on
Friday while Virginia comes in
over the weekend for single
games on Saturday and Sunday.
Both games will start at 2 p.m.

How
the waist
was won.
"1
by John Lowe
The Eastern Carolina Classic, which was held this
past December for the first time, may not be
continued. It seems that the financial loss incurred by
poor attendance has just about discouraged the
University from trying again.
That would indeed be a shame since it took three
years for the Dixie Classic to make money. East
Carolina officials should give the Classic, which
brought exceptionally fine basketball to this area,
another year or two before throwing out a potentially
great classic.
While the official decision has not yet been
announced, it would seem that the Classic should be
continued next year, if not only to honor the signed
contracts for the field already selected for next year.
Classic coordinators should be able to strengthen the
weaknesses evident in the premier event to eliminate
a loss, or to cut any loss down to a very small
amount.
There are good ways to promote the Eastern
Carolina Classic and make it pay off, it only remains
to be seen if the East Carolina athletic officials who
make the decision will look at it objectively. If so,
they will see the boundless ways to help make the
Classic successful.
Not only will the Classic give the people of eastern
North Carolina some outstanding basketball, it will
give the East Carolina basketball program the big
boost it needs to continue the development shown in
the past few years even though it is on what could be
called a Carolinas Conference budget.
The Classic can enhance the overall athletic picture
here at East Carolina, but to do so, it must first be
given a second chance!
Baseball Pirates Lose Opener
Coach Earl Smith and his charges lost their
first game again, just as they did last season.
After their opening loss last year, the Pirates tnen
won ten in a row. They were favored to even their
record at 1-1 against Ithaca College.
Football, Again?
It's football time again as East Carolina's
spring drills began Tuesday afternoon and
will continue through April 26.

East Carolina's 68-69
wrestling team finished second
in the Southern Conference this
year, the best any wrestling
team has done in the school's
history. Last year's team
finished third, the best prior to
that time.
The grapplers th is year
finished with a 9-2 record in
dual meets, their two losses
coming on close decisions that
could have gone either way.
The Bucs had two members
who captured conference titles,
with Tim Ellenberger taking his
second title in the 130-pound
class, and Stan Bastian
capturing a first in the
145-pound class.
Second place finishers were
Tom Ellenberger- 123 pounds,
Robert Corba- 137 pounds,
John Carroll- 152 pounds, and
Cliff Bernard- 177 pounds.
Third place finishers were Ron
Will iams, 115 pounds, Sam
McDowell- 160 pounds, and
Mike Brown- 167 pounds.
Garland Ballard took a fourth
in the heavy weithts.
There are no seniors on this
year's team, and next year's
season is expected to be a very
good one.

In order to effectively cover
mV personal platform and
objectives if elected, I will
divide my statement into five
sections.
First, the vice president is
the S.G.A. officer in charge of
selecting and advising the
cheerleader squad. Also, he is
the S.G.A. coordinator for the
Spirit Committee. With such an
impressive sports complex as
Minqes Coliseum and a rising
basketball team, I think we
need bigger half time
productions.
Second, the vice-president is
in charge of the Homecoming
Parade. By directing the
building of a winning float, and
by being involved in the overall
planning of Isast year's parade, I
have a thorough working
knowledge of the problems and
improvements needed.

Sales Committee. My
experience as a Balfour ring
representative will aid me in
running an efficient ring sales
service to the student body.
Fourth, the vice-president is
the Chairman of the Honor
Council Review Board. He
holds the deciding vote between
three students and three faculty
members on this, the highest
judicial body on campus. I have
served on the Review Board and
I propose that at least one of
the students and one of the
faculty members be women.
Fifth, the vice-president is
more than an advisor,
coordinator or chairman. He
must also have a broad
perspective of the S.G.A. as a
whole. He is the second highest
officer in the government and
must understand the many
parts that comprise it. I can
fulfil this requirement. In
addition to being the top aid to
the vice-president, I have
assisted the treasurer on the
Budget Committee and have
been a consultant-advisor for
the president.
Even though I have worked
closely with this year's officers,
I have not become static in my
thoughts and actions.
Thanks for your time,
Brian R. Van Dercook

Fellow Students:
The election for the five
SGA executive offices will be
held on Tuesday, March 25. As
a student I understand the
predicament of many of the
voters in the election. That is,
they are not familiar with many
of the candidates and find
themselves just voting for a
name or a party.
I feel that this year the
Student Party has provided a
strong and much-needed
platform which carries with it
the spirit of change which is so
needed in our student
government. It would be my
goal, as vice-president, to help
bridge the gap between the
SGA and the average East
Carolina student, and to make
everyone, not just a chosen few,
a functioning part of the SGA.
The present drift of the SGA
away from the students of ECU
should not continue, for this
has caused much of the
disinterest in student
government present on our
campus.
I am not so much asking for
support now as I am asking for
openmindendness and
consideration in the upcoming
election. As stated above, I will
attempt to meet as many
students as I can, and through
this to find what the student
body, not just the few elected
leaders, wants in its student
government. �. .
Sincerely,
Bob Whitley
Candidate for
Vice-President

Campus elections prove
crucial as students move
to end current apathy
ecu forum
To the ditoi
Lam pus elections for Student Government
Association officers are to be held next Tuesday,
March 25 The offices to be filled are president,
vice president, treasurer, and historian.
The importance of these SGA offices cannot be
over emphasized. During the past few years we have
seen the SGA grow into a strong institution of
self government, concerned with the welfare of each
student on this campus.
Many students are apt to laugh at campus
elections, or belittle them in some way. They believe
that the SGA is of little consequence, and thai the
officers will do Only as the administration directs
them to
But this is not the case at ECU. The SGA officials
here are not lackeys, or puppets of the
administration. This has been demonstrated by the
long list of responsibilities given to the SGA to deal
with, and the confidence placed in them by the
administration. Also, the competence and capability
of the SGA to handle campus problems should be
noted.
The present day SGA at ECU is one of the
strongest in the nation. This year, in excess of
$320,000 of your money was spent by them. Most of
this money comes from the student activity fee that
all students pay each quarter, some of it comes from
ticket fees from concerts, and part of comes from
newspaper ads.
During the past few years we have seen the SGA
institute a complete judicial system, put on numerous
concerts and popular entertainment programs, bring
top notch speakers and movies to the campus, deal
with student rights, finance campus publications (e.g
"Course Guide "The East Carolinian the 'Rebel
the "Key and the "Buccaneer"), support athletic
events, improve the beauty of the campus, finance a
student loan program, and deal with many other
wide ranging problems.
Most important, however, the Student
Government Association represents you, the students
both on and off campus.
Therefore, the SGA needs your support in the
election next Tuesday. This will be demonstrated by
your vote. The candidates have worked many long
hours making up posters, placecards, speeches, and
marshalling support for the election. They are serious.
They will be representing ECU throughout the
following school year.
Before voting next Tuesday, ask the candidates
valid, meaningful questions. Make them give you a
satisfactory answer. Find out how they stand on the
issues. Then help combat ECU's number one
problem: apathy. Vote for the candidates of your
choice.

I nnumei abl i appi opi iate
comments might be made about
the demands submitted by the
black students of ECU, but
because of r ecentcampus
disruptions within the state and
because of the general racial
sen t i ment of eastern North
Carolina t h e f o 11 o w i n g
comments seem, to me,
especially appropriate.
First, them e m be r s o f
SOULS are aware that some of
the demands are not clearly
s t a t ed and have released an
e laboration.Noreal
under standing of what these
d e m ands are is other wise
possible, and thus no judgment
about the demands ought to be
m a d e w i thout h a vin g
considered these elaborations.
Secondly, e v e n w i t h the
elaborations in hand it is
difficult to understand the
intentions behind the demands.
An understanding of the
mot ivations which prompted
these demands and the spirit in
which they are submitted is
possible only t h rough an
acquaintance with those
persons who authored them. I
have worked on various projects
with the members of SOULS
during the past year and have
found the black students at
ECU to b e r e a s o n a b I e ,
fair-minded people. Of course,
as with any group of a hundred
or so students, some are
immature and sometimes speak
impetuously an action of
which most everyone is
sometimes guilty. But this does
not prevent me from accurately
d esc r i b i n g I he membei s of
SOU L S as very personable
individuals. They are not
fanatics, extremists or
separatist, but because of their
sk in co101 they aremor e
sensitive than most about some
areas in which a free democratic
society has not been f u 11 y
realized. I would suggest that a
person's evaluation of these
demands be preceded by an
ear nest attempt to become
acquainted with some of our
SOUL brothers and sisteis.
Ilindly, when the demands
are understood in the context
of then ela bo ration a nd
m n t i v a 11 o n t h e y a r e n o I
unreasonable. There is no
demand of which will result in
t he es t a bI ish m e nl of a
"privileged class" for black
students. Indeed, most of the
demands are such that their
fulfillment will be beneficial to
all ECU students, present and
future.
Fourth. Hopefully t h e
administration will be able to
produce actions to support the
encouraging reports cited in the
local newspaper. Nothing is
more important at the present
time than the establishment of
good faith bet weent h e
administration and SOU L S
Presumably, nothing but action,
or good evidence of plans for
action, will suffice.
Sincerely,
Ray Lanfear

Later operating hours for the
Joyner Library?
"Probably not in the near
future according to Vendell
Smiley, chief of library
operations.
This answer was in response
to an interview with Smiley
concerning the possibility of
obtaining later operating hours
for the Joyner Library, thereby
giving students more time in
which to use the facilities there.
Several students have
requested that the library be
open until 11 p.m. on
weekdays, open earlier on
Sundays, and remain open on
Saturday nights.
"But this is impossible at the
present time because of the lack
of funds. More money would be
needed in order to hire the
student and professional help
which would be needed to run
the library said Smiley.
According to Smiley, the
library's budget is controlled by
the North Carolina State
Legislature, and the library has
little control over
appropriations. "Whatever they
recommend, we get he said.
He pointed out this is the
reason the students have to
stand in line: "It's because
we're understaffed. We need
about six additional
professional people and 10
more student employees. But
because of the present budget
situation we are unable to hire
these additional employees
One plan that the library is
currently considering is closing
on Friday nights and increasing
operating hours on Sundays.
Under this plan, the library
would open Sundays at 1 p.m.
and close at 11 p.m.
Right now the library staff is
investigating how much the
facilities are actually used on
Friday nights.
"A few Friday nights
commented Smiley, "we have
more employees in the library
than we have students. Until
more students indicate they
want to use the library on
Friday nights, we will certainly
not consider opening on
Saturday nights
But he thinks the idea of
staying open to 11 o'clock on
weeknights ia good idea.
"Since the budget is under
the control of the Governor and
state legislature the necessary
increases will have to come
from them. The library gets a
'line appropriation' directly
from Raleigh for their operating
expenses. Frequently we get
extra money for books, but
hardly ever for extra help he
said.
The prospects for the future
do not seem to favor any large
increase in the library's budget.
Smiley noted that Governor
DanK. Moore, before leaving
office, did not recommend any
increase in the budget.
To SOULS
I found your list of demands
most interesting, such as the
proportioning of instructors If
you obtain black instructors in
the same ratio as white
instructors to white students
you will have 5.22 instructors
Keep in mind that you will have
to divide these among 25
departments since you
black instructors in all
departments. You will get 2
instructors foi each departmi ni
(What parts of them do u
wantP As for your black studies
in the humanities, I am al
as to ust what you will study
could it be .1 course in
cannibalism (01 "How to Pn
Your Fellow Man")
You speak of financial aid,
and demand more lor
yourselves. Such aid is base
ability and need nut demands
that one race' be given
consideration than anol
(Such is commonly 1
"discrimination)
You speak of recruiting, rhe
job of this institution is nol
of drafting or recruiting, bui of
furthering the education of
those who apply for entl 11 1
and apply themselves for
education. You want to re
students yourselves, yet I am
ignorant of any students h
the authority to do such As tor
banning "Dixie would you
consider banning the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic"?
As for the r emoval of

University buildings, what flags?
what buildings?
Who would you have foi a
speaker?Rap or Stokely?Sini
all students pay for speakers,
they should be selected on the
basis of how they n
enlighten us all rathei than on 1
racial basis.
You want immunity Iron
suspension if jailed foi
demonstrations. You are old
enough to realize that you alone
are responsible for actions you
take so outrageous as to earn
you room and board in jail. Must
the administration protect and
coddle you like a foolish mothei
coddles a spoiled, disobedient
child?
If parts of this letter seem
ridiculous, so did your demands.
