ECU Transit system on trial
After several delays, the trial
transit system began operations
Monday morning at 11:35 a.m.
The buses arrived at 7:30 a.m
but did not begin to pick up
students immediately because
of the need to develop an
accurate schedule.
The buses will continue to
run on school days until April
17. After the trial period is
over, a campus-wide
referendum will soon follow in
order that the students might
vote to continue the system
next fall or not to continue it.
Two Routes
The buses will operate daily
from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
There are two routes, a red
route from campus to Minges
including the boys' dorms, and
a green route from the campus
to the girls' dorms.
Trips to Pitt Plaza and
Buccaneer Courts have been
added, for the students'
convenience, dunng the times
that the campus traffic is
lowest.
The student must follow the
appropriate colored bus stops in
order to reach their destination.
The bus color and destination
will be displayed on the
windshield of the buses.
Same
The buses will run the same
route every hour except from
11:05 to 11:35 a.m. during the
drivers' lunch break.
The buses will have a
dual-door system, allowing for a
quick entrance and exit. They
have a seating capacity of 55.
The buses are rented from
Raleigh City Coach Lines at a
cost of $4800. The Coach Lines
are responsible for the driver,
maintenance, insurance, and
gasoline.
"The bus rides are free, so
please take advantage of them.
We need your support in order
to find out the system's
effectiveness said Nancy
Sheppard, SGA Chairman of
the transit svstem

PEGGY SLEDD candidate for Secrrv CHRS SMITH candidate tor Historian
The photographs of SGA
ecretarial candidate Peggy
Sledd and historian candidate
Chris Smith along with the
letters for and by Miss Smith
were inadvertantly omitted
from the election issue of "The
East Carolinian The staff
would like to extend apologies
to Miss Smith and Miss Sledd
for this oversight on our part.
Fellow Students:
I'm wiicing this letter for
Chris Smith because I know
that she has both the ability
and the experience needed to
make the office of historian an
active, vital office. Chris has
been involved in Student
Government ever since she
arrived at East Carolina two
years ago. She had the honor of
being elected marshal last
spring. Chris has been active in
the Student Legislature this
year, serving as Chairman of a
special committee to study the
feasibility of a marque over the
University Union. Above all
this, however, Chris' most
important qualification is her
sincere interest in making
"student" government what it
should be an active force in a
growing jniversity. This can
only be accomplished with
people like Chris who are
willing to work just a little bit
harder to put the "extra" in
Student Government. If you
want a more active and
progressive SGA, elect Chris
Smith as your historian.
Thank you,
Bob Robinson
Fellow Students:
Student Government
Association What does that
mean to you? It means the
group which is working actively
to improve East Carolina
University for you. Not every
one of the 9,000 students on
this campus can work in the
S.G.A. offices. However, on
March 25th, each student will
once again have the chance to
decide whom he would like to
have in the top positions for
nest year. Each person's vote
should be based on the
candidate's qualifications and
experience, not on popularity.
In the past, a great deal of
people have looked upon the
office of historian as an
unimportant one. This is my
main reason for running. The
position can be an important
one. The person elected on
March 25th can either destroy
or enforce the past image this
office has held. I intend to
work so that the historian's
position will be one that is
active rather than passive.
The historian has to keep an
accurate record of the year's
activities. Several new ideas can
be incorporated into the S.G.A.
scrapbook for next year It
needs to be displayed so that
visitors can see it and so that
each student can feel pride in
his Student Government
Association.
Action needs to be taken
immediately. The officers
elected this spring have to be
people that are willing to work
and have the experience needed
to be effective officers.
Believing that I can fulfill
both these obligations to you,
the students of East Carolina
University, I ask for your vote
on March 25th.
Thank you,
Chris Smith

Blacks meet again with
to regard progress on st
administration
udent demands
A committee of black
students met for the third time
last Thursday with
administrative officials, as sides
squared off to consider
programs on the black
demands. The eleven students
walked away less than satisfied,
after hearing that the only
effects since their first talks
with President Jenkins at the
beginning of the month was the
creation of new committees
hi ided by the appropriate
school officials that would
rx rmally handle such individual
matt �
As one black student,
Roosevelt Morton, noted It
makes a brother restless to
know that the quick action
promised before has dissolved
into the usual double talk and
'Min of committees for

quickly as they want to on at

WASTED DIALOGUE
Daisy Albntton added that,
"some concrete evidence of
action on their part could have
gone i long way in easing
tension and establishing some
trust in their words. Now I
don't know. If a committee is
all they can come up with
'quickly' in three weeks and
'In11 meetings, then perhaps

mmeaningful to waste time
President Jenkins' comments
�n the study committees
centered around the fact that
major interests could best be

directed to people immediately
responstble for them.
Repeatedly reiterated was the
nomindature, "requests, not

t0�k issue with Dr. Jenkins'

,()y. "These are not
'requests' as President Jenkins
has stated he said. "These are
bona fide 'demands ' We are no
longer begging nor asking the
administration to take
necessary action, as we
requested of them last year. No
action was taken then. We are
now 'demanding' that some
immediate action be taken on
the part of the administration
Jenkins noted that some of
the demands were out of his
hands. Future action on the
demands will originate in the
committees, i.e the black
studies program is now in the
hands of the Curriculum
Committee.
Comments on the possibility
of getting black instructors here
were not encouraging. Declining
to give names, Jenkins reported
that he had met with the
presedents of several major
black schools in N. C. at N. C.
Council of Presidents of
State Supported Colleges and
Universities. The word seems to
be " great demand, short
supply" Further elaboration
paralleled this non-encour-
agement, as he spoke of the
shortage of Black Ph.D's and
the "disservice of going in to

Similarly, East Carolina
finances, or the lack of
abundance thereof, was pointed
out.
SENSE OF IDENTITY
Conversation of SOULS
member labeled this demand a
necessity. As William Lowe
said, "When you see your race
being cast in the role of
invisible people, it give you a
feeling of inferiority. One of
the most important reasons for
black professors is a sense of
identification. If you see a
black man in front of the class,
you are proud of your color
Johnny Williams further
pointed out that there was only
one Ph.d. in America who has
his Ph. D. in Black history,
which, he said, "might indicate
that the administration ought
to talk less of Ph. D.
recruitment and 'rohWnn' Mack
school and spend more time
looking at the market just
graduating from these schools
BAN ON 'DIXIE'
Evidence of tension didn't
begin with the third meeting.
The present preoccupation on
campus with the ban on
"DIXIE according to Audrie
Daniels, was "certainly not the
leading issue when the demands
were first presented to Jenkins
the beginning of this month
According to the Black
student committee presenting
the demands, Jenkins
encouraged the Logic of SGA
Channels rather than an
administrative decree.
Acceptance was tendered after
their understanding of his
succeeding statements on final
veto power over student acts as
an implication that "DIXIE"
would be banned in the final
analysis.
In the recent interview with
Jenkins, he claimed, "I never
promised anyone we'd ban
'DIXIE They've evidently
twisted their words. This is a
Meeting pro

There was standing .oom
only as SOULS opened a
meeting last Wednesday night in
the Library auditorium to
answer questions of students
and faculty alike. Before the
evening was through, the panel
of black students had
articulated and clarified their
demands, while substantiating
their actions with examples of
racially discriminatory practices
by certain members of the
administration and faculty.
After explaining the purpose
and reason for each demand,
the panel opened the floor for
debate.
Housing
Student housing rules
concerning the assignment of
roommates in the dorms have
been violated and applied
unfairly by the administration,
according to the statements
presented by several of the
students at the meeting.
The black students pointed

NET PLEASURE VS' NET PAIN
Jenkins continued in
explaining his reluctance in
entering the field of censorship.
"The thing we must strive for is
to understand that in affront to
the least of us is an affront to
all of us. We must carefully
weigh our pleasure against the
pain it may cause
Jenkins might well have been
echoing the black students in
this point.
'NIGGER'
Last Thursday's meeting was
considerably tense when
Jenkins suggested instances and
names of faculty practicing
overt racism.
Dean Tucker of Student
Affairs was singled out at that
time. He later commented, "I
don't remember saying it. If I
did, it was not meant in a
derogatory manner. If I have
offended anybody, then I
would apologize along these
lines

to the instance of a white
student who discovered he had
been assigned to a room with a
black occupant and vocalized
his objection. Typically unfair,
they charged, is the loop-hole
that allowed him to move out
immediately, in violation ot the
current requirement for a
thirteen-day period before
which no changes in room
assignment may be made.
Some points were brought
out to indict certain faculty
members for using
racially-slurring language in the
classroom and to note that
there are professors who seem
biased in their grading of black
students.
Cited for this case was the
professor who threatened to fail
"every nigger" under his
instruction, thereby
intimidating a black student to
drop the course. At the request
of a faculty member present,
the black students named two

Daisy Albritton, interestingly
enough revealed a positive
approach to his position. She
related, "I heard it through the
grapevine that Dr. Tucker has
extended an apology r his
unintentional slurring of the
word negro to nigger, in
reference to the black students.
I would like him to know that I
wholeheartedly accept his
apology without any
reservations whatsoever
UNCHECKED TENSION
Dissatisfaction with the last
meeting has heightened tension
on the black side. According to
William Lowe, "I must quote an
American more feared than
Communist China and the
USSR: "If America don'J come

Black Instructors
Why is it necessary that only
a black man teach "black
history" courses? SOULS
present answers of an emotional
nature where these demands are
concerned. 'There is no white
man in this country qualified to
teach a black history course,
because the black man has lived
much of his history while the
white man would be at a loss to

There were no necklers in

The East Carolinian
'The Rebel' explores
legalized murder
At this rate the Associated
Collegiate Press will be barring
"The Rebel" from competition.
All American Honor Ratings
should, after all, be shared.
Chip Callaway and John
Reynolds just haven't heard.
"The Rebel" (Winter, '69) is,
as it should be, a mixed bag. It
is mixed in quality, too, as
would be expected - but, in
my opinion, the crowding is in
the plus column. First off,
advisor Ovid Pierce should be
applauded for allowing the staff
to exercise its own judgment.
The visual effect achieved is
very professional. The art and
design of Rad Bailey enhance
the magazine by not
overwhelming it; the photo
essay makes its somber point
with dignity.
Most of the poems selected
are a notch above the usual
college efforts, and Robert
McDowell's review of "Souj on
Ice" conveys the power of that
book. The one genre obviously
slighted in this issue is the short
story. Paul Green's narrative
about his childhood chum, a
black, is one of the best things
by F.DAVID SANDERS
in the book, but it might have
been joined by a student story.
All but a few pieces are
related to the theme of capital
punishment � or, avoiding the
euphemism, legalized murder:
society's ultimate admission
that it really doesn't give a
damn about the individual.
Capital punishment, like war,
always has its defenders who
bring in historical precedent
and moral aphorism;
meanwhile, the punishment
goes on making society guilty
of the same crime it professes
to abhor.
Two interviews on this
subject dominate the book.
That with Attorney General
Robert Morgan is technical and
hesitant but important � it has
already been .quoted in the
news media and has been
paralleled by the Governor's'
recent statements. That with
dramatist Paul Green is the
eloquent and passionate
outcrying of a humanist. And as
if that weren't enough, there is
the chillingly clever and
beautiful poetry of Gale
Morgan himself, a resident of

Senator Birch Bayh (D-lnd.)
Election reform and the
lowering of the voting age were
the main topics discussed by
Senator Birch Bayh (Indiana)
on campus Monday night.
As Chairman of the Senate
Constitutional Amendment
Subcommittee, Bayh wrote and
guided to passage the �5th
Amendmento fhe
Constitution on presidential
disability and vice-presidential
succession.
The youthful Senator, who
is now in his second session in
the U.S. Senate, is currently
working toward the
abolishment of the electoral
by H. Gerald Beaver
college and the lowering of the
voting age to eighteen.
"American Roulette"
Concerning election reform,
Senator Bayh lamented the fact
that our method of electing a
President, "which should be the
purest example of what a
people can do has been noted
by the American Bar
Association as being
"undemocratic, inequitable,
and dangerous
The Senator stated that he
abhorred the fact that, because
of the unit rule, the "most

block" if the elections were
thrown into the House. He
characterized the present
electoral system as being
"American roulette" and called
for the adoption of a direct
popular Presidential election.
Qualified Youth
Senator Bayh defended his
call for the lowering of the
voting age to eighteen by saying
that today's younger generation
is the most qualified in history.
The Senator said that he
feels that much of the current
acceptance of leaders of the
"far-out fringe" by today's
youth is traceable to our
political system's refusal of the
vote to the young, a situation
that could be remedied by the
lowering of the voting age,
thereby giving youth "a voice in
the destiny of the nation
Vietnam and Other Issues
Asked if he knew anything
of President Nixon's "secret
plan to end the war in
Vietnam Senator Bayh
answered, "I'm sorry, I can't
say anything without divulging
a secret In response to a
question on the use of money
being spent in Vietnam when
the war ends, the Senator
responded that he would rather
it be used to make up the
deficit in the lost fiscal budget
and in domestic improvement
rather than in further support
of "the military-industrial
complex
Senator Bayh's wry, human,
honest approach and obvious
interest in people made his
appearance an enjoyable
occasion to all who attended,
judging from audience's
response.

Crew
alive
by STEVE WILSON
Contrary to popular belief
there is still a crew team at
ECU. For those that do not
know what crew is, it is
composed of a large
canoe-like-boat approximately
60 feet in length, requiring
eight men to row the boat, or
shell, as it is called.
Seven men row the boat,
while one man known as a
"cox'n" steers and gives
commands to the oarsmen. The
oarsmen sit in sliding seats
numbered from one to eight.
The lead oarsman, or
strokeman, sits in the eighth
seat.
A race normally occurs in
three main stages. All oarsmen
sit ready for the starter to give
the command to row. When the
command is given, the cox'n
screams out a number of signals
for the oarsmen to row as fast
and as hard as possible, usually
for 20 strokes.
The speed is approximately
36-40 strokes per minute at
that time. After 30 strokes the
cox'n gives another command
to settle to a slower, less tiring
speed which is normally 30
strokes per minute.
The last quarter mile of the
race is the most strenuous on
the men. The cox'n gives an
order to sprint, and the crew
must pull as hard and fast as
possible, also keeping in perfect
time with the stroke thoughout
the race. Lungs burn, wrists
swell, and often oarsmen are
close to nausea, but for some
stubborn reason they keep on
going and often it pays off with
a win.
Crew is not ror trie average

By JOHN LOWE
Coach Earl Smith and his
charges had a week full of ups
and downs and unfortunately
for the Pirate mentor, they
were mostly down as East
Carolina won only two of their
first six games, which included
a three game losing streak,
something almost unheard of in
ECU baseball annals.
After evening their record at
1-1 against ithaca College in
their home opener last
Wednesday, the Bucs managed
to lose three straight games,
dropping decisions to Ithaca by
9-6, to UNC by 2 1, and to
Virginia by 3 1 before snapping
the streak with a 8-5 win over
Virginia.
East Carolina, which was
supposed to have been overall
improved from last year in their
pitching, defense, and hitting,
came out on the minus side in
all three categories.
The Bucs have used 24
hurlers in six games so far, or
four ler game, and they have
yielded 26 runs in that same
span. On defense, East Carolina
has committed eight errors in
the field in the last four games
alone1 As for their hitting, the
team has a microscopic .191
average.
East Carolina now has four
days off to heal their wounds
before taking on Dartmouth
College on Friday and
Saturday.
Bombers Clobber Bucs
In their second game against
Ithaca, the lead changed hands
guts, and someone with twenty
dollars that they want to
contribute to the cause.
Unfortunately the crew was
unable to attain the needed
funds for all the traveling the
team has to do, so the members
were devoted enough to pay for
the priviledge of rowing.
If anyone interested is not in
hape, Coach Vic Peizua will
nelp you out.

several times, with the Bucs
holding then last lead at 4-3 in
the fifth, but Ithaca came back
with a four-run rally to make it
7-4 in the top of the sixth. Each
team then tallied twice more tr
make it 9-6, the final margin.
In losing. East Carolina used
five pitchers and left 11 men
stranded on base.
Heels Nip EC
On Friday, Ron Hastings lost
a heartbreaker to North
Carolina by 2-1 as he was
out dueled by the Tar Heels
Tom Buskey, who fired a
three-hitter.
Skip Hull, Carolina's fine
catcher, drove in both runs with
a solo homer in the fourth that
broke a scoreless tie, and a
sacrifice fly in the sixth to
make it 2-0.
East Carolina, which had a
bunt single by Stu Garrett
through the first eight innings,
finally got a ball hit out of the
infield in the ninth when Rusty
Edmundson singled to right.
One out later, Dick Corrada
singled, and after an error
loaded the bases with only one
out, Busket balked in the Buc's
only run.
Hastings pitched a fine ball
game, as he allowed only five
hits in 8 13 innings. He struck
out eight and walked one, with
one of the runs being unearned.
Bob Fisher relieved in the ninth
when Hastings got into a little
trouble and retired the side
without any further damage.
Cavaliers Extend Losing Skein
Against Virginia on
Saturday, both Buc hurlers used
were freshmen as Coach Smith
was giving all of his pitchers a
chance to show their stuff.
Unfortunately, starter Bob
Hileman was wild and only
lasted three innings with the
Cavaliers holding a 3 0 edge.
Bob Fisher came in and did a
very good job for six innings as
he limited Virginia to just five
hits.
The lone East Carolina run
scored in the eighth on a walk
and two singles.
EC Snaps String
Agains Virginia on Sunday,
the Bucs used seven pitchers
while escaping with an 8-5 win
over the Cavaliers.
After freshman Tim Bayliss
was knocked out in the second,
Wayne King relieved him and
was in turn relieved by Mitchell
Hughes in the fifth. Hughes
lasted just one man and Sonny
Robinson was brought in as
Virginia tied the score at 3-3.
After the Cavaliers scored a
run off Robinson in the sixth to
take a one run edge, the Bucs
bounced back with two runs to
retake the lead.
New pitcher John Weaver
lasted one man as Ron Hastings
got the call in the seventh.
Randy u lover then relieved
Hastings and pitched the ninth
inning.
Somehow Robinson came
out with the victory amidst all
the changes which Coach Smith
used to snap the three game
losing streak.
Against the Dartmouth
Indians, the Bucs will face
another northern team going
the circuit clown south. The
Friday and Saturday afternoon
games will get underway at 3
p.m. and 2 p.m. respectively.

'Thou shalt not kill
unless thou art a State'
Humanitarians throughout the state were encouraged last week
by statements made by North Carolina's three highest-ranking
government officials. Governor Bob Scott, Lt. Governor Pat
Taylor and Attorney General Robert Morgan.
These three men set governmental precedence in the state by
openly opposing the state's death penalty. These three men
showed courage in opposing a law that still carries a great deal of
popular support in North Carolina.
With the influence of these men, North Carolina may be
placed among those 13 liberal and farsighted states that have
abolished this archaic mode of punishment.
"The Rebel" magazine, distributed last week, presented the
case of capital punishment to its readers. "The Rebel"
interviewed author Paul Green and state Attorney General Robert
Morgan. Both of these men spoke of the futility of the provision
which allows the state to take the life of a man. Both agreed that
the death penalty should be abolished.
There is only one valid argument for capital punishnient, and
that is revenge. The idea that it is all right - even obligatory - for
a state to take a man's life because he has himself killed is deeply
ingrained in our history. But it is no less wrong for that. Murder is
murder, and if anything the ritualized, diliberate act of the
society is more repellent than the passionate crime of the
individual.
To quote Marcus Allen, "The Commandment does not read:
"Thou shalt not kill unless thou art a State Nor is it affirmed
that "the Lord giveth and the State taketh away; blessed be the
name of the State. "
The thinking and humanitarian people of North Carolina have
begun to open their eyes to this system of revenge. "The East
Carolinian" hopes that the legislators in Raleigh will take the
advice of their elected officials and strike this unjust and barbaric
law from our statute books forever.
Strikers win reforms
minus hard-line policy
The success of the UNC-CH students in bringing about a 20
cent per hour increase in the minimum wage of state employees
should be noted.
Not only were the reforms brought about without any real
violence, but they were also instituted without any disruption of
the university.
Despite Governor Bob Scott's "hard line" policy at first and
the excessive use of state troopers, the students were still able to
"air" their complaints about the low-paid cafeteria workers.
Some of the reforms the strikers won were an increase in the
minimum wage from $1.60 to $1.80 per hour for approximately
5,000 state employees, transfer of the white supervisor they
blamed for most of the employees' complaints, over-time pay,
improvements in scheduling, rehiring of a woman cafeteria
worker who was laid off for no apparent reason, and an end to
the practice of deducting meals from their pay - whether they ate
at the cafeteria or not.
Thus the students at Carolina shoud he commended for their
initiative in identifying the problem and working to achieve
reform within the system.
Many times administrators become obdurate, or inflexible and
fail to identify meaningful problems that exist "right under their
noses Part of this is due to the protection of vested interests,
and some of it is due to bureaucratic rigidity.
Therefore, the students are a real proponents for change. They
are the ones who point out injustices, mismanagements, and
discrimination and seek solutions to these problems- without
having to worry about reprisals from someone above them in the
hierarchy.
And, this is me way it should be. The involved students of
today will, in all probability, he the leaders of tomorrow.

To the Editor:
Is it necessary to study a
hnguage? Is it a waste of time?
If you think it is, you have not
yet lived long enough to learn
the error of your ways. Ture,
for some people it is next to
impossible to learn a language,
even English. But the learning
of another tongue, in
opposition to my thoughts ten
years ago in high school, brings
to a person a better
understanding of his own
language as well as the
reasoning and philosophical
thought processes of other
nations.
Of course if you look upon
language learning as an
erudition exercise with no
application you are like most
Americans who do just enough
to get by and no more. If you
say "I will never use the
language remember you are
about 22 when you graduate
with at least 30 more years of
life and the world is becoming
smaller. Who is to say you
shan't use it? If you know for
sure that you won't, you are far
better1 than I because I don't
read futures.
Besides the above reasons,
the study of language along
with philosophy and law impart
to us a discipline of mind which
eventually will lead us to
continual self improvement
every day of our lives. He who
ceases to learn no longer lives
but exists and slowly dies. Is it
because you are afraid you
might learn something, you
don't want to study, or do you
give up too easily?
There are many who are
mature enough to do the best
they can and often find
languages as an interesting
intercourse, so much that they
major in it. Don't sell language
study short, because if you do,
you sell yourself short.
Not everyone in America
even speaks English and the
lack of the Chicago and the San
Francisco police forces' being
able to speak Spanish has
almost caused riots. Now they
both have included basic
Spanish courses in their
training. Knowing another
language might save your life
some day. Russian, maybe
Stephen Grollinger
To the Editor:
The March 14 edition of
"The East Carolinian" stated
there is no such thing as
apathy on a campus if everyone
is working toward a goal
These words sound very
impressive, but still they are
only words to which many
meanings may be assigned.
I believe that every student
at ECU has a goal for which he
or she is striving.
Unfortunately, for the majority
of students the goal becomes
merely wading through enough
credit hours and q.ps to
graduate, sweeping the opposite
sex off its feet and onto its
back, or dunking more beer and
liquor than anyone else on
campus.
These segmented,
individualistic, unchallenging
ambitions that take the talent
and intellectual initiative of a
"no-mind" are a representative
composite of the attitude of
our student body. Most of the
student's time is devoted to
thinking up excuses for not
doing something, instead of
using that time creativly and
purposefully through one of the
many organizations on our
campus.
I believe our students are
intellectually endowed,
talented, creative, and
ambitious enough to make East
Carolina a more powerful
institutional unit through a
solidified student body with
strong organizational objectives
once the secret to their
dormant abilities is discovered.
I am convinced that you, the
students, came to ECU to find
out what you could be in life.
You recognized the first step
and took it. Now you must
realize that extracurricular
activities are as important to
your records as grades in
required courses. You must
expend your responsibility to
yourself and strive to fulfill
your potential through
involvement in organizational
activities that will be beneficial.
Through discussion
programs, field trips,
participation projects, practical
applications of your knowledge,
and special guest speakers on
organization, the Law Society,
is offering to students
interested in law as a career,
and to all students who express
an interest in law, a way to
fulfill their potential, and to
help prepare them for the
future.
The Law Society is taking an
honest approach to provide the
initiative, the motivation, and
the purpose for which it was
organized. What the Law
Society, as well as many other
such organizations, needs .iow
is student support, student
ideas, student involvement, and
student participation. Accept
the challenge. Bury apathy and
cultivate student organizational
activity.

To Whom It May Concern:
Speaking of undemocratic
procedures, the housing rules
for the 1969 70 female
sophomores at East Carolina
University reaches the top of
the list. The rising sophomore
girls have been confronted wiih
the unjust method of drawing
at random for their rooms tor
the coming year. Before, the
procedure had been presented
on a "first come - first serve"
basis which permitted the
student to have a choice of
dorm and room.
Why has this previous
procedure been di carded?Why
have the present freshnum
female students' opinions been
neglected in the forming of this
housing rule? We understand
that uppeiclassmen should have
priority over the choice of
rooms; however, we cannot
understand why the rising
sophomores are not allowed a
choice of the remaining rooms.
Why, after the female students
pay for the rooms, do they not
have preference over the
rooms?
We hope in the struggle for
more diplomatic policies on the
East Carolina campus, that this
matter will not be overlooked.
Sincerely yours,
Concerned Rising Sophomore
