By PHYLLIS BRIDGEMAN
Because education is a clear reflection of American
society, student commentors - in spite of their
u n f a m i I i a r i t y with the grand old
philosopher-educators like Dewey, Pestalozzi, or
Herbart - are verbally venturing into educational
reform more and more. Only the willfully blind will
not see why.

likes of R. Buckminister Fuller, 100k at McLuhanese,

The student protests at the University of
California al Berkeley started in September, 1964
0ver political activity and speech, but complaints
out education were soon stimulated. Since then the
camor for a redefinition of the purposes of higher
education has echoed over numerous campuses, like
e wroosh" of dominoes after the game has
started.
They've learned one thing and perhaps only
?ne thing during those twelve years.
They've forgotten their algebra. They're
opelessly vague about chemistry and physics.

T with a glance at today's student.
Levant C?lle(,e Student nas ,ittle more choice ?f
does h' educational alternatives in his career than
authorit'S k'd brother. for rnost colleges are as
an inst tanan as 9" schools. Outside of the choice of
u,l0? ?f higher learning and a field within it,
the horizon on student influence sinks into a tranquil
Sargasso Sea.
"The college student is far less able to influence
his relationships with teachers and administrators
than he is able to retort and otherwise respond to his
parents Whether the teacher shocks him, or ignores
him or bores him, or awakens him to new vistas, or
patronizes him. or argues with him, or is friendly to
him, the student is dependent on the teacher's mood
and interest
Martin Meyerson goes on to say in The Ethos of
the American College Student: Beyond the Protests"
(from "The Contemporary University: USA) that
administrative action also binds our student,
particularly and obviously by control of his
extracurricular life.
YOUTH WANT ROLES
The dialogue from the student's view of alternative
choices finds a root in why the student has turned his
back on the unreality of the classroom in his search
for truth. As Marshall McLuhan says, The
classroom is now in a vital struggle for survivaltw.th
the immlsely persuasive 'outside' world created by
"ew mfo matLPa. media. Education must shift from
ruction, from imposing of stenc.ls, to discovery

structured environment of an educational system
conceived way back then.
Which is not to say one should ignore that system
or the pholosophy behind it ? on the contrary, let's

LOOK AT THE SYSTEM
Two things that are wrong with that 19th century
educational environment come to mind immediately.
First, when the student can see for himself the
inherent uncertainty in real life, the traditional
teacher would have him believe that questions are
closed and soluble.
And second, educators would like to can
fragmented, classified patterns of information for
consumption when, as Robert Theobald says, "The
individual fact, the individual relationship cannot be
valid at electronic speeds of communication
("Education for a New Time from the "Journal" of
the United Churches of Christ Council for Higher
Education, March, 1967).
Theobald also appropriately points out,
"Education has not yet caught up with the fact that
the educational pattern of the past, in which it was
assumed that the old know and the young must learn,
is no longer valid. So long as the speed of change was

SGA Legislature approves ID's for campus
ministers, ok's presidential appointments
Members of the Campus
Ministerial Society (CMA) will
be issued special ID cards to
attend itudent gatherings which
require ID cards.
The bill was passed in a
meeting of the SGA Legislature
Monday evening.
John Dixon, who introduced
the bill, said that the request
came from the CMA after being
barred from previous campus
gatherings.
Speaker Bill Richardson
explained that the ID will not
allow full student privilages to
the CMA. Only gatherings
which require just an ID card
for admission will honor the
cards, which will be signed and
issued by the SGA president.
A resolution to create the
position of Secretary to the
Legislature was passed and sent
to the Rules Committee for
study.
A sample of opinion, the
resolution, if acted upon, would
create an office in addition to
the elected SGA secretary. The
Secretary of the Legislature
would be fully responsible to

Students list 'gay' demands
(ACP)- Althought most
student protesters are deadly
serious about achieving their
demands, some groups are
making their points in other
ways.
Six blind students at the
University of North Carolina
have demanded blind professors
and braille textbooks. Although
they admitted their protest was
made "to take the wind out of
the black student movement
they also suggested blinding
everyone so no one "would
know what's black and what's
white
A group of students at
Queens College (N.Y.) who call
themselves Irish Revolutionaries
Interested in Scholastic Help
(IRISH) issued a series of
demands to the college and
took over a campus building
used for storage. Their demands
included the observance of St.
Patrick's Day as a holiday and
establishment of a Gaelic
studies program.
A group of students at the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison presented a list of
demands from the "Homophiles
of Madison" requesting the
establishment of a homosexual
studies department and the
institution of "gay" social
events.
A new counter-revolutionary

The premere performance of
the ballet, written by ECU

The special effects, lighting,

fRIOUS BEAUTY
In the history of education, the most striking
phenomenon is that schools of learning,
which at one epoch are alive with a ferment of
genuis, in a succeeding generation exhibit
merely pedantry and routine. The reason is,
that they are overladen with inert ideas.
Education with inert ideas is not only useless: it
jS( above all things, harmful Every
intellectual revolution which has ever stirred
humanity into greatness has been a passionate
protest against inert ideas.
-A.N. Whithead
(continued from page l)
relatively slow, this was a perfectly valid
assumption
"But the enormous speed of change in our time,
brought on by the cybernetic revolution, necessitates
a total change in this structure. We have created a
situation in which we cannot assume that simply
because somebody has been studying an lssue a( ms
life, he knows it best
So somewhere in this dialogue, the student will
probably echo McLuhan: "Mere instruction will not
suffice
"There are children playing in the street who
could solve some of my top problems in
physics,because they have modes of sensory
perception that I lost long ago
-J. Robert Oppenheimer
?????? ?????????????????why????????????????????????
"Progressive people in
the '30's said it was possible to use education to shape
the future to determine what kind of society we're
going to be living inbut at that time they aidn't
have the technology to pull it off according to
Harry Silberman, a researcher at System Development
Corp. in Santa Monica, California.
So what is the cybernetic revolution that Theobald
says will mean "total change" in the education
structure?
It is the electric technology-computers, et
al. that supplants the former mechanized
technology. And it was the age of mechanization and
even prior to it that conceived our 19th century
educational system.
Close your eyes and drift back to your grammar
school classroom. You're biting your lower lip and
grappling with a fat, black pencil.
"Now I want you to rewrite your stories on good
white paper, and let's see what nice, neat papers you
can turn in. Pay special attention to your penmanship
and be sure your hands are clean
This teacher from our 19th century system
undoubtably got enough pretty white papers to fill
the class bulletin board, but what of originality?
Unwittingly she thwarted a creative drive by
emphasizing, not the content of thoughts, but writing
them down.
"Youth instinctively understands the present
environment- the electric drama. It
livei mythically and in depth. This is the reason
for the great alienation between generations.
Wars, revolutions, civil uprisings are interfaces
within the new environments created by
electric informational media
McLuhan
?fl extremely provacative when McLuhan tells us
that the nature of the media by which
wecommunicate molds our society more than the
content of the communication. It seems almost to
Pport our little grammar school teacher.
But no! The cybernetic revolution of which
obald and others speak means something quite
Afferent.
Tr?e mechanical technology of alphabet and print
encouraged the age of the specialist, the detached.
he electric technology moves toward unification and
lnvolvement in the age of the unspecialist.
Aa for the neat penmanship on our teacher's
J white paper shows the reluctance of our
9ducation system to move into the new
elect'callyconfigured world.

X WAMT Yuu-wamtvoo-
Wnt Woo-iwMtr
Let the computer do the memory work of the
brain, in contradistinction to the mind, which is the
one that looks for generalized patterns. Specialization
(the isolated fact, the isolated relationship) is the
antithesis of generalization and adaptability-two
areas that characterize man (as opposed to the studies
of extinct creatures that have been shown to be
victims of their overspecialization).
ACTIVISTS OF THE GLOBAL VILLAGE
Yet it won't be this brilliant man in his 80's or
90's that will take care. It will be the student activists
of the global village?the ones who were demanding
"meaningful dialogue" and "alternative choices"
while McLuhan's globe got "shrunk in the wash with
speeded-up information movement from all
directions
Fuller, Theobald, McLuhan, and others all agree
that ours is a world of "allatoneness We are
inundated instantly and continuously with
information. We don't act; we react.
This world requires us to move from the visual
habit of data classification to gestalt patterns of
recognition. Not block by-block or step-by-step, but
active instant interplay with everyone and everything.
And we are profoundly involved with one another
in this global village of simultaneous happenings.
What if the student cannot involve and relate the
educational scheme into his experience of this
electronically processed world?
Mystification and disgust, alienation and apathy,
powerlessness and irrelevancy-when this is driven
home, the apathetic becomes the cynical. That, no
less, is the necessary condition for any revolution-be
it the rationale of civil disobedience or the politics of
confrontation.
"If there is anything at all that seems likely to
drop this country's urban universities into the
Twentieth Century, it is probably the spectre of their
pillars silhouetted by the flames of the ghetto. It is
not happenstance that a week after Martin Luther
King Jr 's murder, universities all across the country
were referring to "King Day" and were instituting
scholarships memorials, and special recruiting
programs for the ghetto black. Nor is it happenstance
that a month later ponderous Columbia was in
shambles after ignoring the concerns of its Harlem
neiqhbors " (Frank Browning for U.S. Student Press).
BETWEEN BERKELEY AND COLUMBIA
Four years separate Columbia from Berkely.
Campus outbreaks have grown in number and
seriousness since then. It began with Berkely s.t-ms,
but the violence has progressed "to the point of arson
and the importation of guns into campuses, (from
-How Columbia Pulled Down Its Pillars by Nicholas
von Hoffman, The Washington Post, June 16, 1968).
increasingly, it boils down to the e.ement of t.me
and change. The time is right; change is rmmment
"What we refuse is not without value or
importance. Precisely because of that, the
refusal is necessary .There is a reason which we
no longer accept, there is an appearance of
wisdom which horrifies us, there is a plea for
agreement and conciliation which we will no
longer heed. A break has occurred. We have
been reduced to that frankness which no longer
tolerates complicity
-Maurice Blanchot, "Le Refus" in
"Le 14 Juillet no. 2, Paris,
October, 1958.
engenders a paradixical combination of euphoria and
paranoia and leads otherwise
Reisman and partner Christopher Jencks maintain
that education is a clear reflection of American
society.
Over the past century, America has adopted an
uppermiddle class ethos which emphasizes
competence, interest, and achievement. The aurhors
term it "meritocratic
SOCIAL MOBILITY MYTH
Riesman and Jencks devote much space in this
work to the popular myth that education is a means
to upward social mobility in our electric technology.
Underlining the function of education in this
context, they point out that it is not teaching but
professional socialization.
It is the middle-class child who has been lovingly
taught "competence, interest, and achievement
The schools of the lower-class neither prepare him
for, nor encourage him to go to college.
So it appears that academia spawns frustration
both within and without its haven from the electronic
world.
So the kinks aren't all worked out. We've only
begun to dream of what the cybernetic revolution can
do for us!
For the first time, technology makes it possible for
us to feed, cloth and house the whole world. It can
enable us to have factr at our finger tips and free our
minds from petty arithmetic. There's a new and
almost certainly better world within our grasp.
One thing is for sure-Vietnam, Berkeley, Dallas,
and Memphis have shown that fact-stuffed, liberal,
automated America simply isn't working.
: "Only the hand that erases can write the true thing

"(The) question boils down to: Do you prefer
being an American individualist with all the hazards
involved; or do you prefer to be a citizen of a
spineless nation which?eventually ?may have a
Krushchev as a president. Do you favor a bungling
do-nothing, know-nothing America
"To survive, we must stop acting like a nation of
sheep; instead we must once again become patriotic
revolutionaries. We must move and grow with
changing events The nation which stands still,
apathetically hoping that everything will be all right,
has surrendered its chance of survival. An accelerating
history will roll over it (William J. Lederer, "A
Nation of Sheep").
Is it too simple to say students arc Americans,
too? Our electric technology calls for total
involvement.
A better world is at our finger tips. Education and
the cybernetic revolution must come to terms, or
other Vietnams, Berkeleys, Dallases, and Memphises
will instantaneously and continuously happen in our
electronic world.

i
EC splits doubleheader with VMI
LEXINGTON, VA East
Carolina split a doubleheader
with resurgent VMI that
practically elimated them from
the race in the southern division
of the conference, as the
Keydets won 8-6 before the
Bucs took the nightcap by 5-2.
East Carolina jumped out to
a 2-0 lead in the first inning as
Dick Corrada singled with two
out and then stole second.
Carey Anderson walked and
Skip Taylor scored both
runners with a triple to make it
20.
The Keydets came back in
their half of the first for a run
as Art Bushey led off with a
walk and Rowe followed,
reaching on an error. Tom
Catlett walked to load the bases
and Tim White drove in VMI's
first run with a fielder's choice
that forced Catlett at second
while Bushey scored.
In the second inning, the
Keydets added another single
tally to tie the game. Randy
Crocker singled, moved to
second on a wild pitch and then
down to third when Vernon
Beitzel reached on a fielder's
choice. A balk was then called
against Mitchell Hughes, the
Bucs' starter, to score Crocker
with the tying run.
The pesky Keydets took the
lead for good in the third with
another single tally. Catlett
reached on an error and moved
to second when White followed
with a hit. J.C. Hanks then
singled in Catlett to give the
Keydets a 3-2 lead.
VMI BREAKS GAME OPEN
In the fifth inning, the
Keydets broke the game wide
open with a three-run uprising.
White walked and then moved
to third on Hank's double.

Frank Cleaton then scored both
runners with another double
before scoring on an error as
Steve Friski reached base to
make it 6-2.
After a walk, Catlett reached
first on a fielder's choice and
moved to second on a hit by
White and then scored on
another single by Hanks to
make it 7-2 in the sixth inning.
The Bucs got a run back in
the seventh as Len Dowd
singled, moved to third as
Sonny Robinson reached on an
error, and then scored on
Bobby Norman's sacrifice fly.
But the Keydets weren't
through as they scored their
final run in their half of the
seventh to make it 8-3. Friski
doubled, and then scored on
two successive ground outs with
Beitzel getting the rbi.
East Carolina finay awoke
in the eighth, but it was a little
too late. Taylor singled and
then Dennis Vick swatted a
two-run homer to make it 8-5.
The Bucs scored their final run
in the ninth inning. Rusty
Edmundson walked, moved up
on an error, and scored after
successive singles by Corrada
and Anderson for the Buc's
final run in a dismal 8-6 loss.
WIN NIGHTCAP
The Bucs then came back to
salvage the nightcap and snap a
seven-game VMI winning streak.
The Pirates took the lead
with single tallies in the first
and second innings to take a 2-0
lead.
Rusty Edmundson walked
and moved to second on a wild
pitch. Jimmy Lanier's single
moved Edmundson to third
where he scored on Bobby
Norman's out.
In the second, the Pirates
scored as Dave Shields reached
on an error and then scored
when Mike Van Landingham's
single to center got away from
the outfielder.
KEYDETS TIE GAME
VMI came back with single
runs in the second and third to

the game as Jerry Fresia and
Art Bushey both walked to
start things off. Steve Friski
reached on a fielder's choice
and an error on Tom Catlett's
grounder scored Fresia with the
tying run.
From there on out, however,
the Bucs held the Keydets in
check and didn't allow another
run to score.
In the fourth, the Bucs
moved back into the lead with
three singles. Stan Sneeden
singled and moved up on Dave
Shield's hit. Lanier then singled
to drive in Sneeden with the
tie breaker.
In the seventh inning, East
Carolina wrapped up their
scoring with two runs for the
final 5-2 margins. Skip Taylor
walked and Wayn Vick singled,
with Taylor moving to third.
Dennis Vick then scored Taylor
with a sacrifice fly and a single
by Sneeden brought in Wayne

Ted Kennedy calls for aid
Elsewhere on this page is a letter to Dr. Leo W.
Jenkins from Senator Edward M. Kennedy requesting
that the students here join in a relief campaign to
send food, drugs and vitamins to the starving and
wounded victims of the NigeriaBiafra civil war.
At the end of February, UNICEF had shipped
more than 62 million pounds of food to the area.
Since this time this organization has continued to
pour thousands of dollars of relief goods into Nigeria,
straining an already insufficient budget.
According to Senator Cfnles Coodell of New
York, who recently visited the area this UNICEF aid
must be increased. Unless something dramatic is
changed almost immediately, a minimum of 1 million
and probable 2 to 2.5 million Biafrans will die in the
next 12 months.
In an attempt to help the United Nations help the
war victims, thousands of Americans contributed over
$725,000 for emergency relief. More than $100,000
of this money came from college students.
Today the need for supplies is more crucial than
ever before.
Concerned Americans are realizing this fact and
are reacting to the emergency situation by sending
contributions to the U.S. Committee for UNICEF
with the notation that these funds are to be used for
NigeriaBiafra relief.
The Student Government Association and The
East Carolinian are now planning a campaign for this
campus to raise money for relief in this war ravaged
land.
An announcement as to the date and time of this
campaign will be announced in the next issue of this
newspaper.
The East Carolinian urges all students to give as
much as possible in this campaign to help end the
needless suffering of thousands of innocent Africans.
Apathy strikes here again
Recently a wave of student apathy has struck the
campus that makes some involved students and
administrators shake their heads in disbelief. Never in
the history of this university has this apathy been
more evident than in the past two weeks.
Two weeks ago Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of the
university, asked for student assistance in the battle
for a doctorate program here. About 150 students
turned out for an organizational meeting of County
Clubs at Jenkins' home.
At that time, County Club meetings were
scheduled for last Tuesday so that students from each
county in the state could become involved in a
program to help the university better their education.
Tuesday came and no more than 50 people
attended these meetings. Some students who were
supposed to help organize these clubs did not even
bother to attend.
"The Rebel campus literary magazine, sponsored
an Eastern North Caro!iiw Arts festival last weekend
to give an outlet for stuaents interested in the fine
arts. One of the reasons this festival was planned was
that the students here have complained in the past
about a lack of an academic and literary atmosphere.
When such an outlet is planned as the ENCAF, a
scant few have enough interest to put forth the energy
to make an entry in the competititon.
This editor could go on in enumerating the many
instances of student apathy evident on this campus.
The students keep on airing their grievances but when
they are afforded the opportunity to alleviate the
problems about which they gripe, they do nothing.

Dear Editor:
I wish to commend the two
hundred and fifty college
student body presidents and
editors for then responsible,
moral stand in opposition to
the war in Viet Nam. I am
especially proud that the
student body president of
U.N.C Wayne Hurdei, was
amonq this group.
We sincere persons who feel
that America has completely
left the path of individualism
since World War II greatly
appreciate Mary McGrory's
article "The New Patriots" in
the April 25 editorial of the
"News and Observer Many of
us have tried through peaceful
means for the last four years to
correct the inborn unfairness of
the present draft system and
most especially our illegal,
immoral participation in the
Viet Nam civil war.
We reject violent means to
gain our ends, but we are
continually punished for this
refusal. The result has often
been jail sentences and ruined
careers for sincere Americans
whose only crime has been
opposition on moral grounds to
America's imperialism (whether
good intentioned or not1)
We see more and more of
our colleagues turning to
violence out of frustration. This
frustration results when
democratic processes are
supressed by politicians who are
unresponsive to the public they
serve. Instead of seeing the state
serving the individual, we are
shocked to see the individual
being forced to serve the state!
Where is our Lockian
philosophy? Has it been swept
away by the rise of military
power in the United States? We
are fearful.

Dear Editor:
On several occasions I have
seen a Nazi flag dramatically
displayed from two separate
student rented homes. I do not
question the freedom of these
students to so display any flag
they choose, however, it does
bother me when I try and find a
reason for their actions. Are
they sincere advocates of the
Nai doctrine7 If not, is it a
game that they are playing or
are they trying to make
themselves feel superior by
associating themselves with
such a fascist symbol7 It is
deeply disheartening that there
are students at this University
that are so willing to do
anything for a laugh.

Dear Editor:
I would like to clarify the
intent of the petition now being
presented to the student body
in the UU lobby.
The petition deals solely
with the charges now pending
m the state court which stem
from the arrests of the four
black students in the North
Cafeteria on April 1st.

To the MRC,
As the outgoing SGA
Elections Chairman, it is my
hope that my successor will
have a more workable
relationship with the newly
elected MRC Vice President and
his elections committee that the
Men's Residence Council as a
whole has been very eager to
cooperate with me in every
election this year.
The night before the
referendum on the transit
system, the MRC elections
committee headed by Steve
Hall, met and voted not to get
students to man the polls on
the Hill for the referendum
Tuesday.
The committee's reason was
that they were noi notified in
time to obtain poll-sitters. I
found out late Wednesday that
the referendum would be run
for sure on Tuesday, April 29.
The following day, an article
appeared in last Thursday's
edition of The East Carolinian
stating explicitly when, where,
and what time to vote.
On returning to school from
a weekend at home, I called
each of the women's dorms to
make sure the polls would he
open on Tuesday. I might add
that most of the dorms had
already prepared for the
Tuesday referendum. I was
unable to contact Hall because
of the installation changes in
the new campus phone system.
However, Monday at
approximately 830 p.m , I did
reach Hall to remind him of the
referendum and to make sure
the polls would be open the
next day. It was at this time
that the MRC elections
committee was called together
and they voted not to man the
polls.
In just two and one half
hours, next year's SGA
Elections Chairman and I
recruited boys to man the polls
for all four dorms. It seems very
unlikely that the Lieutenant
Governors would have had any
trouble at all asking boys to
tend the polls for their
respective dorms much less four
dorms. I might add that three
of the four Lieutenant
Governors volunteered to sit at
the polls Tuesday.
Although I will be the first
to admit that the time before
the election was short, I
qu?stion that an elected
can vote not to
their duties and
committee
carry out
obligations
May I suggest that the MRC
Constitution be amended in
order that the duties of the
Lieutenant Governors of each
dorm be more explicitly
defined so that when he takes
office he will know exactly
whom to see and what to do.
Again, I hope that the
Election Chairman for next
year can communicate and
work more closely next year to
alleviate such misunderstanding.
Good Luck!
Dan Summers
Elections Chairman
