Frosh invade campus
It's that time of year when
the campus is invaded once a
week with young, eager faces.
Orientation for incoming
freshmen began this past
Tuesday night and lasted
through Thursday afternoon for
the first group. This schedule
will continue through August.
The two-day program is filled
with meetings, speeches by
members of the administration
and faculty, as well as students
from various organizations
including the SGA, fraternities,
and sororities. The prospective
students are given a swimming
proficiency test and placement
tests in Foreign languages,
Mathematics, and Music.
ID pictures are also made and
any spare time is filled with
getting acquainted with new
people.
New students can easily be
recognized by their blue folders
which are filled with pamphlets,
information, and a schedule of
the orientation program. The
students experience dorm living
for the first time; the girls are
housed in Cotten Hall and the
boys stay in Jones Dormitory.
HECTIC DAYS
he group is varied and their
comments about their
orientation are as varied as they
are. Most students seem to think
that the two days are "hectic
"confusing "busy and
"tiring "We're lost "Could
you tell me where Nursing
Building is and "I really don't
know what is going on were
typical comments.
A few parents accompanied
their sons and daughters but
By CATHY COUNCIL
often they were noticably
�gnored by their children. Most
of the future freshmen seemed
eager to be on their own.
The program is headed by
Dean Mallory, Dean of Men,
who talks to the students the
first night they are here. One
student stated that he noticed
that Dean Mallory emphasized
the fact that this campus has no
need for so called radical
organizations such as the SDS.
The student interviewed did not
seem pleased with this attitude.
He stated that these
organizations should not be so
readily condemned for "a
student should have the freedom
to decide for himself about the
merits of these organizations
When asked about their
opinion of the orientation
program the replies ranged from
"a well-planned program" and
"very helpful" to "it seems we
are wasting our time going to a
lot of boring meetings and
learning nothing really
important" and "It is the
stupidest damn thing I've ever
been through Many students
said that they wished that there
were more meetings with all the
boys and girls together instead
of segregated. A typical
comment about the program was
"at least we get some idea of
what the campus and the people
are like
STUDENTS FRIENDLY
Most future students thought
that the students at ECU seemed
very friendly. One girl said she
liked the fact that there are a
variety of people enrolled at
ECU. Two boys said that they
wished that there were more
black girls here. One girl said
that "some of the guys look OK
but I can't believe the number of
girls who wear dresses that are
three inches below their knees
Some students seemed awed by
the large enrollment here while
others seemed to think that
there were not enough people
around.
Most of the future students
were excited about coming here
in the fall and some even stated
that they did not want to leave
so soon. Some, however, did not
share this opinion and were not
eagerly awaiting fall. One boy
liked the fact that there would
be few regulations for boys and
wished that there would be less
for girls. Girls were also heard
complaining about the
regulations for women. One boy
wanted to know "when the
piace would liven up" but
another boy had the opposite
view. He stated in a drawling
voice, 'These meetings lasting
until ten o'clock are terrible for
that's way past my bedtime. At
home I'm in bed by 9:30 at the
latest or the law is after me
The students experienced
typical long ECU lines for the
first time when they waited for
their ID pictures to be taken.
Many of the first week's visitors
were heard complaining about
this. Other general complaints
included comments about
broken vending machines in the
dorms, cafeteria food, and the
rainy weather. One boy summed
up his opinion of everything by
stating that "Greenville is all

First endowed
professorship
East Carolina University has
filled its first endowed
professorship, a School of
Business chair in banking made
possible by a $50,000 grant
from First National Bank of
Eastern North Carolina.
Dr. James L. Knipe,
businessman-writer-teacher and
former consultant to the
chairman of the Federal Reserve
System Board of Governors, will
occupy the First National
Professorship in Banking for the
1969 70 school year.
Dr. James H. Bearden, dean of
the business school, announced
the appointment, saying that Dr.
Knipe's expertise in banking and
finance will give "highly valuable
influence to the program in
banking we are now
developing
SIGNIFICANT ROLE
Dean of nursing retires
A unique chapter in the
history of East Carolina will
close on June 30 with the
retirement of Dean of the
School of Nursing, Eva W.
Warren.
Nine years ago to the month
Mrs. Warren came to ECU as
Dean of the newly-created
School of Nursing, the first
school on the ECU campus.
Forty-seven students had
already been admitted for the
fall quarter of I960, Mrs. Warren
had no curriculum plan, no
approval from the N.C. Board of
Nursing, and no faculty.
Four years later, 17 of those
students ware the first graduates
outside Mrs. Warren's office are
photographs of each graduating
class of nurses, four of whom
have already earned master's
degrees in njrsing, at least nine
of whom are enrolled in master's
programs.
"We really have no way of
knowing for certain where they
all have gone Mrs. Warren says.
"The students came mostly from
North Carolina, but are
representative of the entire
Eastern Seaboard and from as
far away as California.
"I do know that at least
two thirds of them planned to
work in hospitals. I know, too,
that there are two graduates in
university motto of 'Service' has
been their part. We, along with
many otherstake special pride in
the accomplishments of our
students and graduates
"A commitment to nursing"
by her students is more
important to Mrs. Warren than a
geographic commitment.
She will retire with the
knowledge that wherever her
former students choose to work,
they are well prepared and
dedicated.
j
of the School of Nursing, a fully California, one each in Oregon,
Washington, Wisconsin and
Texas, and that at least one, our
male graduate, is in Vietnam.
"Most of our students are
either married in college or soon
after they graduate and they
follow their husbands-wherever
they might be going. We try to
keep up, but it is difficult
On the occasion of the
unveiling of a portrait of Mrs.
Warren in the Nursing Building
on graduation day, the retiring
Dean said of her students:
"Loyalty, dedication and a
commitment to nursing and the
approved school with a faculty
of 13.
In all, 151 nurses, including
one male, have graduated and
last year's enrollment of 238
nursing students makes ECU's
one of the largest baccaluareate
programs in the state.
It is now a fully-accredited
(by the National League of
Nursing), well-supported
program, housed in its own
modern facilities and operated
by a competent faculty of 23
professionals.
On the walls of the hallway
Dr. Knipe's main work in the
coming year, according to Dr.
Bearden, will be in development
of the school's curriculum in
banking. His role said the
dean, "will be extremely
significant because it will have
far-reaching impact for the
future of this program
"We are fortunate Dean
B arden continued, "to have a
man of Dr. Knipe's
qualifications to be the first
holder of the First National
professorship
First National gave ECU its
first endowed professorship in
February of this year when the
bank's president, Mitchell F.
Allen Jr handed a check to
ECU President Leo W. Jenkins
and Dean Bearden.
At the presentation Allen said
First National set up the chair to otner papers
help in "furthering the
education of those who will be
heading our banks tomorrow
He said the First Nat;onal grant
is also "an earnest vote of
confidence in the vast majority
of young people in our colleges
today He added,Our directors
selected ECU for this grant
because it has the second largest
business school in the state, and
thus the capabilities for turning
out the second largest number of
future bank management
personnel of any institution in
the state

ammonite

The East Carolinian
Page 3
Greenville was once under
w3ter according to Dr. Stan
Rjggs of the Geology
Department.
Riggs said this while
describing the significance of a
fossil find made by Dr. Michael
O'Connor also of the Geology
Department, two weeks ago
about 8 miles from Greenville.
The fossil is an ammonite, a
type of marine life that became
extinct 70 million years ago.
Riggs indicated that the
specimens found here may be as
old as 135 million years.
"This fossil is part of the same
animal phylum as the octopus
Riggs said. The pearly (or
chambered) nautilus, also in this
phylum, is the only living shell
form of the phylum existant.
Riggs indicated that the
ammonite appeared about 400
million years ago and lived in
water at least a mile from shore.
Little is known about what type
of environment this swimmer
preferred as there are no
specimens alive today Riggs said.
The shell of the ammonite is
coiled on a plane and is a series
of chambers created
ammonite
previous
by the
as it outgrew its
chamber. The
ammonite used the old chambers
as ballast tanks, regulating the
amount of air in them in order
to control its depth.
The shells found by the
department are large, the
original find measuring 12 inches
in diameter and a later one
found by four geology majors 18
inches in diameter. The second
find was made by Mike
Upchurch, Larry Coates, Sandy
Moore and Pete Meyer.
The shells were found in a
bank of marine mud beside the
Tar River. There are several
more at the site, but they are
too fragile to bring back.
When asked about the
significance of the find Dr. Riggs
commented, "It has no
economic importance, but does
tell us something about the past
hostory of the coastal plain. It
also gives us a historical
understanding of the region and
allows us to understand the rock
units we have around here
Hurdle elected
Veteran Union Committee
member, James Hurdle, from
Elizabeth City, was elected
president of the Union
Committee for the summer
sessions.
Hurdle has served the Union
Committee for the past school
year as Special Projects
Committee Chairman,
particularly heading the Coffee
House and awards banquet
special events.
The Union Committee is an
organization of volunteer
students who give of their time
and talent in staging special
social and recreational events for
the entire campus family. The
special programs events for the
summer include bingo-ice cream
parties, watermelon feasts,
games, tournaments, and a folk
festival.
The remaining officers and
chairmen elected by the Union
Committees are: Carol Rocke,
secretary; Mary Jane Phillips,
bingo ice cream party chairman;
Steve Apple, watermelon feasts
chairman; Jim Longacre,
Conwell Worthington, folk fest
co chairmen.
Membership in the Union
Committee is open to all
interested students-graduate and

Arts
Six standing sculptures
and several showcase exhibits
comprise the Senior Show by
Dean Leary in the University
Union.
Leary uses both stone and
wood as media for his sculpture
in which oval shapes, and sloping
and rounded contour lines
dominate. The natural quality of
the media is retained by the use
of grain in his designs as well as
by the use of the natural color
of both the wood and stone.
Texture seems to be an
important element of Leary's
designs, as seen by the
contrasting smooth and rough
surfaces. Often a pattern of
design creates the effect of
texture. Though sculpture is
generally considered to be a
visual medium, Leary in several
of his works elicits a tactile
response from the viewer.
Leary, a graduating senior
from Greenville, is a sculpture
major in the B.S. program. In
March of this year Leary
received first place in the
sculpture division at the Seventh
Annual Student Art
Competition at NCSU in Raleigh
for a sculpture in stone entitled
"Aquatic Form

He earned a master's degree

with 9,500 as the total number
of ECU students.
Not only is this freshman
class one of the largest, but also
the most qualified. According to
Dr. Home45 of these
students have College Ejard

average mean score is from 990
to 995 Even with the rising
admission standards there are at
least four National Merit

Helping to increase
enrollment are new dorms, men
and women, that have been
constructed in the last couple of
years. This is the first year ECU
has not had problems with dorm
space.
Another phase of ECU
contributing to larger enrollment
is its policy of giving "by-pass"
exams to those freshmen who
are qualified to not take certain
freshmen courses and start at the
sophomore or junior level.
Getting away from the fact
?hat this incoming freshman
class is larger and smarter than
previous ones, is that there will
be more women (1,501) than
men (1,169). The upperclassmen
should have this problem well in
hand(?by Winter quarter.

A sense of style
By DON PIERCE
We are not a bad lot, really.
Sure, we riot in the streets and
we have closed down Columbia,
and shaken up the folks at
Harvard; we are not all that bad.
This generation has its style.
It is most evident in music,
where we have revolutionized
the entire spectrum of sound.
We have our poets, Simon and
Garfunkle, the Beatles, Tim
Hard in, and they lay words to
paper and to song as good as any
poet in any generation with one
exception they reach more
people.
The Beatles are our style.
They are tough, cocky, witty,
irreverent, and fantastically
good. They are young, but, with
our generation, it is no sin to be
young.
There is other style in this
generation, and it is as close as
the walk. It is girls in summer
dresses and Paul Newman in
Harper, and if you missed that
movie you missed the greatest
anti-hero since Bogart.
This generation recognizes
style. We know and love W.C.
Fielas, and Bogart. Bogart is one
of our heroes, just as he was to
anothe; generation twenty years
ago. Anyone who knows
anything about style knows
about Bogart and Bergman in
Casablanca, and we do not care
that Bogart drank too much.
What we remember is that
Bogart always showed up for
work on time and knew his lines,
cold.
Our generation revolutionized
men's clothing, and there is an
entir new market for men's
wer, because we decided that
grey flannel looks best on a
horse. We cannot be all bad if we
did that.
Clothing aside, we have music.
We have broken down the
barriers between jazz and pop
and country and western and
have made it all music. Blood,
Sweat and Tears is not really a
pop group, but a jazz group, and
our generation will save jazz
which has been dying because
another generation lost its love
for it.
We recognize the style in jazz.
There will never be another like
"Bird but the lyrical Mr. Getz
is good enough for anyone, and
Wes Montgomery and John
Coltrane provided a lot of good
music before they passed on.
Jazz is, with out help, slowly
picking itself up off the floor
and returning to become big,
and, now, in the summer, there
are jazz festivals at most every
big city.
Style is more prevalent now
than at any other time since the
thirties. The movies are
beginning to show some style,
and it is due to our generation.
This generation has produced "A
Man and A Woman "Bonnie
and Clyde "The Graduate
and "2001 Someone is going to
say that some of these movies
were made by people over
thirty. True. But, being a part of
this generation is more a state of
mind than a state of age. We are

We have revolutionized the
cinema, with the elliptical
quick cutting style that the
Beatles brought to "A Hard
Day's Night and as we have
changed the cinema, so we have
changed the world of
advertising.
Our generation has changed
advertising from the huckster
image it formerly had.
Advertising now is Mary Wells
and Jack Tinker and pink
Braniff airplanes. Advertising is
fast becoming one of the fun
jobs in the world, and we did it.
We do our advertising like we do
our demands. We tell it like it is,
and only this generation could
make having a hangover fun.
Style is our trademark. True,
there are lots of unstylish people
in our generation but there are
unstylish in every generation. If
you had to characterize this
generation, you have to say that
it had class, flash, a little bit of j
big mouth, and creativity. We
work hard and we play hard, and
we are not through yet, thank
you, with some needed reforms
in college.
Last year, Newsweek ran a
picture of a graduate and he had
on a beard and his cap and
gown. This year, Newsweek
showed not the graduate, but
our generation, and the picture

Left in the Wright window
By WHITNEY HADDEN
My favorite place on campus
j, the window in the editor's
office in Wright builcing.
Located over the steps facing the
fountain, it offers a commanding
view of the administration
buildings, assorted academic
buildings, the mall, the main
entrance to campus, and for
variety Cotten Hall.
Although sitting there is often
precarious, especially when the
rest of the staff is around, the
view is unique and, to my mind,
well worth the risk of
accidentally littering the steps
below during an exceptionally
harried deadline.
Wright window is a great place
to think. The wind is cool and it
is easy to ax while wandering
over the diverse sights and
sounds afforded by the window.
Most people seem unaware of
certain aspects of the campus
that can only be seen from a few
other places. F'rinstance, most
people have no idea that the
bushes next to Wright fountain
spell out ECU. A bit scraggly
perhapsbut legible.
I've often wondered if the
dorm counselors across the way
know that there are pigeons
mating on the roof all day long.
Terrible.
Also, there are more bald kids
on campus than I realized.
I see a blonde chick every day
as she puts a letter in the mail
box between three and four, rain
or shine. People are
strange. Three years ago, there
were very few girls that did not
wear the blue skirt white blouse
with peter pan collar red alpaca
sweater uniform, and the variety
in dress seen from the window is
heartening.
In this column, I hope to
make observations regarding life
at ECU from offbeat
perspectives. We will be glad to
consider any gripes, comments,
or favorite causes that the
students or faculty might send
along.
If there are any girls over in
Cotten that would like to see
ECU spelled right side up, drop
on over to the East Carolinian
office
Festival expects 100,000
The largest pop festival ever
held has been scheduled for the
fourth of July weekend in
Atlanta, Georgia.
The show, labeled the Atlanta
International Pop Festival, will
be held July 4 and 5 at the
Atlanta International Raceway
located 20 miles south of
Atlanta on Highway 41 just off
Interstate 75.
The raceway has
accommodations for 100,000
people and is expected to be
filled to capacity. For those
looking for shelter, the Festival
has arranged for free camping
facilities so everyone is invited
to bring sleeping bags and tents.
Included in the show are such
name groups as Blood, Sweat, &
Tears, Creedence Clearwater
Revival, and Canned Heat of
"Boogie" fame.
Along with these the
following artists will perform:
Chuck Berry, AI Kooper.Chicago
(formerly the Chicago Transit
Authority), Dave Brubeck, Jerry
Mulligan, Delaney, and Bonnie &
Friends Also on the bill are: Ian
& Sylvia, Tommy James & The
Shondells, Janis Joplin, Johnny
Winter, Joe Crocker, Led
Zeppelin, Pacific, Gas & Electric,
Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny
Rivers, Spirit (performing here
as only of 3 concerts this
mmer), Staple Singers,
Sweetwater, Booker T. & the
MG's, Ten Wheel Drive, and a
sPecial guest attraction rumored
t0 be Bob Dylan.
Highlighting the show are
SPir't, whom I already
"mentioned, Dave Brubeck,
unowned jazz performer, and
Bob Dylan, who is best known
for folk and protest songs and
nowadays Country & Western
music is also part of his rare
public appearances.
As it is too late to get advance
tickets, the best thing to do is
get to Atlanta early for the best
seats. Tickets at the gate are
$7.50 and $8.50 respectively for
the Friday and Saturday night
shows. More information can be
obtained by writing: Festival,
P.O. Box 54498, Atlanta,
Georgia.

equipped than any generation
oefore to handle the problems
there.
The one question mark to the
effectiveness of this generation is
the computer. While the
computer makes possible all
sorts of wonderful calculations
and problem simulations, it also
depersonalizes the human being
and, it is a little depressing to
know that your entire life could
fit on an IBM card. This
generation will resist the
computer, and, perhaps harder
than any generation before, try
to develop a persoanlity of its
own.
We are a little hotheaded at
times, we dream often of things
that cannot be. We have seen
three of our heroes gunned
down, and we have seen our
politics with passion clubbed to
death in the streets of Chicago
and shot to death in Los
Angeles.
We are bitter about this, but
we will not quit trying to change
some things because of a club or
a gun, and it is a fool who thinks
that he can stop us from
exerting our influence by merely
raising lumps on our bodies.
We will endure the clubbings
and the riots, and we will
graduate and change the world.
To do less would not be our
style.
If we are one thing, we are
impatient.
We are a little tired of
everyone cutting us down and
we are tired of promises,
promises. Condemn us, if you
wish, for fighting in the streets
of Berkley, but it proves that we
will fight, and sometimes the
street is more dangerous than
the jungle.
For this generation, for this
writer, the time has come to
produce. I have no doubt that
we will, that we will build this

w
c0rmer Secretary of Defense
dark Clifford's suggestion that
the United States withdraw
100 000 troops from Vietnam
before the end of the year, and
the complete withdrawal of all
combat forces before 1970 is
indeed an enlightened and
thoughtful proposal.
in his article written for
"Foreign Affairs" entitled
"Vietnam Reappraisal: The
perSonul Kistory of One ivlars
View and How It Evolved
Clifford traces his views on
Vietnam and how he evolved
from a hawk to a dove on the
issje.
From early in the Kennedy
administration when the
'domino theory" came into
vogue, Clifford was a strong
adherent of the belief. In
essence, the domino theory
states that if one country in
Southeast Asia falls under
Commun ist control, a
crumbling process" would be
started and other nations would
fall under Communist control.
This would result in grave
consequences for the United
States and freedom.
But since the early I960's,
events of the world have
changed enough to invalidate the
domino theory. Events such as
the schism between Russia and
China, the Red Guard turmoil in
China, the failure of the
Communist coup in Indonesia
and the removal of Sukarno, the
movement of Australia and New
Zealand to regional defense ties
with Japan, and most important,
the failure of the nations "living
" the shadow of Vietnam" to
organize and build for their own
security.
He also points out that our
military strategy used in
Vietnam was ineffective in
bringing the enemy to its knees.
For example, increasing the
bombing did not reduce
American casualties, and an
increase in manpower by the
jJS. resulted in a buildup by
Hanoi- He states that there is no
specific military rationale for
e number of American troops

or
presently in South Vietnam. The
current figure represents only
the level at which the escalator
stopped
The sincerity of South
Vietnam in bringing the war to
an end is also questioned by
Clifford. This is demonstrated
by the Americanization of the
war, the fact that the United
States is doing most of the
fighting and paying most of the
bills -and he concludes that the
"South Vietnamese leaders
seemed content to have it that
way
Also, he relates the difficulty
the United States had in getting
the Saigon government to begin
negotiations in Paris: "First one
reason, then another, then still
another were cabled to
Washington. As fast as one
Saigon obstacle was overcome,
another took its place
The most beneficial thing we
could do for the political
maturity of South Vietnam
would be to begin to withdraw
our combat troops, said Clifford
He points out that the time has
come to disengage because we
cannot realistically expect to
achieve anything more through
our military force.
Our original objectives in
Vietnam-which were to prevent
South Vietnam's subjugation by
the North and to enable the
people of South Vietnam to
determine their own future-have
already been accomplished,
according to Clifford.
The political realities, he
believes, are "none of our
business
These facts therfore lead him
to believe that the United States
should withdraw all its combat
forces from Vietnam before
1970, but we should still provide
air support for the South
Vietnamese Army.
In essence, the Cliffora
proposal provides the United should not be ignored. It seems
States with an honorable way of to provide the best solution yet

Where isBiafra?
How easy it is to forget about Biafra. It's a small
country, a black country and far away. But people are
dying there, thousands of people and most of them are
children. Each day thousands of people literally starve
to death. In addition, hundreds are victims to disease
and the constant warfare that has enveloped the
country since Biafra declared its independence from
Nigeria in late 1967.
Since midsummer 1968 the United Nations Children's
Fund and the International Red Cross have been
responsible for flying over 30,000 tons of food and
medical supplies into the war torn country. But even
this amount is not sufficient to care for the starving and
homeless millions caught between the continually
shifting battle lines.
UNICEF's limited resources were quickly strained by
the enormous amount of supplies needed to feed and
heal the millions of Nigerians and Biafrans caught in the
tragic conflict. On July 10, 1968, the Executive Director
of UNICEF appealed to the world for cash
contributions noting that the "stringent financial
situation of UNICEF" necessitated special contributions
from the public and from governments for the needed
food and medical supplies.
Equipment lost in fire
By the end of March, 1969, public response to the
United States Committee's appeal for the contributions
needed to support UNICEF's emergency relief efforts in
NigeriaBiafra totaled $725 thousand. Through the
concerned efforts of State Representatives, local
UNICEF volunteers, and thousands of concerned
citizens-young and old-the drive continues.
Response around the world has been good, but
insufficient to end the famine or eradicate the
epidermics which ravage the country. Much more is
necessary before the diet of the population can be
brought up to a subsistence level.
A Biafran Relief drive held last spring on the ECU
campus collected approximately $150. This summer a
fund raising campaign co-sponsored by the Student
Government Association and "The East Carolinian"
hopes to carry the drive to more people in the
Greenville area. Plans are in the final stages for a benefit
performance to be given the last weekend in July to
raise money for Biafran relief.
A donation of 25 cents is sufficient to provide
enough concentrated, high-protein formula to keep one
child alive for one day. Surely each one of us can afford
that. If every student enrolled in First Summer Session
rhirpn I ?immT �f 25 Cents 4'000 stang
children would live at least one day longer. Think about

Crew seeks to rebuild
An early morning fire on June 2 destroyed an estimated 22 to
$25,000 worth of Crew equipment belonging to the ECU Athletic
department.
The fire destroyed the warehouse and all of its contents, but it
created a fear in the minds of those affiliated with the East
Carolina Crew program, that all may have been lost for Crew in
the future at ECU.
It was not known whether funds would be available to
purchase new equipment in order to rebuild the program.
Now it seems the Athletic Department will try and rebuild the
Crew program, however, the cost will be more than it was when
the program was first initiated due to our old friend, "inflation
It will be a long hard road ahead for Crew, due to these high
prices. Several schools have writeen, offering aid in rebuilding the
program, and donations will be gladly accepted.
We are very glad to hear that the ECU crew program did not
die in that fire however, when a Pirate shell is once again plowing
through the muddy waters of the Tar river, we will be even
happier, for action speaks louder than words.
The Buc Crew has shown much spirit in the past, and could be
considered one of the finest athletic programs on this campus.
Last years team members contributed $20 apiece in order to
supplement the small budget the crew is allowed. This alone is
one of the finest examples of the drive the team exhibits, and
their devotion to the sport. It would be a blow to the East
Carolina Athletic Department to see this spirit smothered.
Anyone interested in aiding the Crew program may send their
donations to the ECU Athletic Department, addressed "Crew
