Construction creeps east
providing campus face-lift
Pile drivers have given way to steel beams and thick cables
on the eastern end of campus: East Carolina continues to build
day.
Tearing down the old and raising the new
seems to be the current trend of campus
construction.
Along with the new science building, several
dormitories and classroom buildings, the
Development Evaluation Clinic and Day Care
Center for Handicapped Children has become the
newest project of ECU's Expansion program.
The Biology and Physics departments,
presently located in Flanagan, will move to the
new Science building by September I, 1969. This
move allows for needed expansion of the
Chemistry Department as well as Biology and
Physics. Chemistry will now move into the
vacated rooms of the old Science Building.
A new general classroom building, that will be
nearly twice as large as Austin, is expected to oe
completed for fall quarter. It will be located
between Memorial Gym and the new Music
Building with an estimated cost of 2.9 million.
The new building will house the 9
history, sociology, political science and German
departments which were previously loc
Austin, joyner Library, Graham, and the Nursing
Buildings.
Dormitory expansion entails two new high-rise
buildings for both men and women.which will
accommodate approximately 900 students.
Estimated costs will run close to $3 million.
The university's electrical distribution system
is being replaced. The improved underground
distribution system will serve to provide
increased capacity for the expanding campus.
On the lighter side, a new soda shop is being
built near the Nursing Building. This octagonal
structure will be finished in October and will be a
needed relief for all students.
ECU has requested funds in addition to the
$10 million currently being spent on academic
improvements from the North Carolina State
Legislature. If approved a new building to house
the School of Art will be constructed where Old
. Austin once stood.
University Vice-Presidert and Business
Manager, F.D. Duncan expressed an urgent need
for more construction. He is quoted as saying,
"Despite the fact that we are continuing to
expand, we need more buildings

Vogues' summer concert
scheduled for ECU mall
Ju�V2969
The Vogues, Warner
Brothers-Reprise recording stars,
will appear in concert on the mall
of ECU on Tuesday, July 22 at
eight o'clock p.m. The concert is
free.
This group has a long list of
record hits, including some
eleven million sellers.They have
recorded several albums and
have appeared on major
television shows such as Ed
Sullivan, Mike Douglas, Red
Skelton, and the Glen Campbell
show.
TOP RECORDINGS
The Vogues have been voted
among the nation's top five
record groups due to their many
hit records including "Turn
Around-Look At Me" (a
million-seller), "You're The
One "Five-O'clock World "
Magic Town and more
recently, "No Not Much
Other recordings include their
edition of "My Special Angel
"Till "Earth Angel "Please,
Planned for Sent. 10
Mr. Sun "Woman Helping
Man and "The Impossible
Dream
Members of the Vogues are:
Bill Burkette, lead baritone; Don
Miller, baritone; Hugh Geyer,
first tenor, and Chuck Blasko,
second tenor. Backing up the
group are guitarist, Marty Mundy
and drummer, Greg Shannon.
BIG BREAK
The group began about eight
or nine years ago in Turtle
Creek, Pa. They had one hit,
"Which One Will It Be" but after
this, things slowed down because
the group literally disappeared
from the music scene to get
service and school out of the
way.
The Vogms' big break came
as a result of an incident at the
recording studio and a
subsequent hit record. A
promotion head, Jack Hakim
heard the group recording a song
and liked the way they sounded
so he signed the group to record
with CO & CE Records. The
song was "You're the One" and
quickly rose to No. 2 on the
record charts across the country
LEGITIMATE SOUND
In their concert act the Vogues
usually include their current hit
songs and special material such
as a Mancini or Tijuana Brass
medley. They also sing some
standards such as "September in
the Rain "Just in Time and
"Bewitched, Bothered and
Bewildered Their act usually
includes some satire .
Don, the baritone singer,
spoke for the group and
explained about their style.
"Our music at the start was
definitely "Rock 'n RollAt

the legitimate sound for our
night club and college concert

Activity fees boost transit system
Dreary early morning walks
to class in the rain will end for
most students on Sept. 10, when
transit service will begin for East
Carolina students. Either two or
three buses will be in operation
between the dorms, Minges
Coliseum, Buccaneer Courts, Pitt
Plaza, and Wright Circle.
Service will begin at 7:30
a.m. and run until 4:00 p.m.
with an option in the contract
for an extension of service until
9:00 p.m. if there is a demand
for it. The contract may also
contain a clause enabling ECU to
obtain charter service at a
� educed rate.
Three companies have given
bids for the contract. The SGA
will decide which to accept this
week. ECU will be the second
school in North Carolina to have
a transit system. However,
UNC's transit system operates
on a different principle; the
student must pay a dime each
time he gets on the bus.
East Carolina's transit system
will be financed by a two dollar
additior to the student activity
fee, which was approved by the
student body in a referendum
spring quarter. The student will
pay nothing when he gets on the
bus, and he may ride as often as
he wishes. The system will cost
$39,000 a year, part of which
may be donated by interested
merchants in Pitt Plaza. This
plan was approved by the Board
of Trustees on May 29, 1969.
The present transit system is
the result of a trial transit
system of last spring quarter.
Beginning the second day of
spring quarter and running for
fifteen days, the Raleigh City
Coach Lines provided two buses
for a total of $4,800. This
covered costs of maintenance,
insurance, fuel, and the drivers.
The trial transit system was a
huge success, ending on a
Thursday after two weeks of
clear, sunny weather.
"The Voques" brinq their "pop-rock" sound to

Institute planned as
miniature 'Spain'
Carty leaves for Colombia
Lt. Col. Douglas F. Carty, a
professor of Aerospace studies at
ECU will retire July 31, after
almost 28 years in the military
and three years of service at
ECU.
Col. Carty began his military
career in the Army Air Corps
during World War II. He left the
Army in 1947 when the Air
Force became a separate branch
of the military.
His career has been mainly
concerned with COUNTER
INTELLIGENCE and college
assignments.
His college assignments have
included August Anna, Texas A
& M, Brooklyn College, and
ECU. He has been at ECU since
June 1966.
ECU is Col. Carty's second
ROTC assignment, the first
being August Anna.
CHANGES IN ROTC
According to Carty, the
greatest change in the ROTC
program over the pastl5 years
has been the steady continuing
emphasis on the academic
quality of the program through
the cooperation with the Board
of Visitors, composed of Deans
and Presidents, in their
supervision of the curriculum.
The new ROTC curriculum is
one of psychological and
sociological approach to
leadership and management in a
manner complimentary to that
of the Business Department.
The junior and senior level
courses now use a dialogue
method of teaching where small
groups numbering no more than
15 give the student an obligation
to participate actively in
classroom discussion.
Col Carty hopes to see more
individual research in areas such
as effective leadership or the role
of the home environment in
relation to effective leaders of
the past.
NEED FOR ROTC
When asked why ROTC
should be promoted, especially
today with the growing dissent
on college campuses to the
program, Col. Carty stated:
"We need the continuing
influx of civilian minded young
men in the military so that we
will not develop a military caste
which is divided from the main
of civilian life
Continuing he said, "It will
be a bad day for the country if
the. military is forced to raise its
3wn officers, especially when
one considers that 90 of our
The Spanish Institute is a
select group of Spanish teachers
throughout the U.S. They are
chosen on the basis of their
personal and professional
qualifications to attend East
Carolina.
Other qualifications for the
program include two years of
college Spanish and a bachelors
degree.
Each applicant is required to
sign the "Polabora de Honor" or
"Word of Honor" which states
that they will not speak
anything but Spanish unless it is
absolutely necessary. Violation
of this code results in their
dismissal from the institute.
The purpose of the program,
headed by Mr. Gary Ambert, is
to increase their teaching
effectiveness.
The thirty five members o
the institute work on all phase!
of the Spanish language including
civilization, linguistics, and
conversation. In conclusion of
their program they receive nine
quarter hours credit in graduate
school.
In essence, the institute has;
created for itself a miniature
Spain, providing for its
participints a practical
knowledge of the Hispanii
world.
The students arrived on June
I7 and will remain at East
Carolina until early August.

Carty and his wife, who is a
Russian language expert, have
been invited to participate in a
Holy Spirit Teaching Mission in

Robert K. Adams, Summer School President is sworn in by John
Schofield.
The summei school SGA met for the first time Tuesday, July
I, Along with the task of swearing in the various officers and
electing the speaker of the house, the new SGA handled a busy
agenda.
John Schofield, President of regular session SGA, swore in the
newly elected executive officers: Robert Adams, president, Craig
Soua, vice president; and Nancy Cannady, secretary.
President Adams thpn swore in the summer school Legislature.
The first business for the Legislature to handle was the
election of the speaker of the legislature. Wayne Eads,
independent, and Brian Vandercook, University Party, were
nominated with Eads winning the position.
In an effort to help the Crew to rebuild itself after a fire nearly
deviated the entire program, John Schofield moved that the
SGA Marque Fund be transferred to the Crew.
Following the swearing in of officers and the election of the
speaker, the new Legislature moved on to an agenda concerning
various items of business, the ECU Crew, and Biafra.
LEGISLATURE E LECTS SPE AKE R
The Marque Fund envolves $2,262.94 which had been held
bV the Student Government for the past six years. The summer
school SGA unanimously passed the motion.
Wayne Eads takes oath after being elected Speaker of the Leqislature.
Another motion put before the newly elected Legislature was
that the Gratification Project's funds also be transferred to the
Crew.
MOTION AWAITS CONSENT
The motion was defeated pending permission from downtown
merchants who contributed specifically to the Gratification
Fund, and therefore not available to the Crew without their
consent.
Further on the agenda was a motion for the SGA to purchase
as Addressograph offset duplicator. This motion was pushed to
the Budget Committee for its approval.
Another item of business was to change the time and day
which the Legislature meets. The meeting was changed to
Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. of each week.
The final business of the day was the endorsement by the SGA
of a Biafra Fund Drive begun by Walt Wittemore and The East
Carolinian.
So�a. Vice-president, and Nancy Cannady,Secretary, take office.
Newly elected legislature assumes duties.

Dorm counselors fight barefeet
"Would somebody please tell
me why it is that dorm
counselors have such a big
hangup with bare feet?"
Over and over again I have
heard worried students ask that
question. Since the concern on
campus is always great over
issues like this, I feel that it is
my duty in this column to try to
explain the situation and help
fellow students to decide for
themselves on what they stand.
Controversy is not to be
feared in the East Carolinian,
and therefore we will leap into
this problem; all the while,
inviting dissent.
FEET ARE BEAUTIFUL
Feet are beautiful, or so I
once was led to believe.
I have a godson who is just a
little over one year old. He was
even younger when he first
discovered his feet. The thought
never crossed my mind that
there could be anything wrong
with that, and so we used to sit
around for the longest time
playing happily with our feet
and having just a great time
That was before I found out
about feet straight from a dorm
counselor.
You see, feet that are not
properly covered are improper.
This seemed like a tautology of
sorts when I was first confronted
with the idea.
FEET ARE UGLY
You have to understand, girls,
that there are a few parts of the
human body that are not fit to
be seen by the naked eye except
in the privacy of one's home.

and then only under certain
circumstances.
This is more true of women
than of men. It is against the
rules for a girl to be seen
barefoot in the dorms or on
campus. There is no such rule
for men.
This must be because men's
feet are not quite as ugly and
also it is less likely that the sight
of a man's feet will lead a girl
into lustful thoughts and
therefore place the young man
in a possibly embarrassing
situation
A young lady's feet are
exceptionally sexy and
therefore, quite obviously,
hideous.
SHOES MORE SEXY
So this is why it is that After aM young men are
although one could prefer that often in tne obby of the dorm
young men discreetly cover their and the jmpression that
"pieds" (ahem), it is even more less-well-brought-up girls create
vital that young ladies wear
some form of garment over their
lower extremities whenever they
should chance to be in public.
(One of the more "swinging"
housemothers added that shoes
and "such-like" were really and
truly more sexy since they left
more to the imagination)
RULE REASONABLE
From this line of reasoning, it
is easy to see the rationale for
what was before a rather silly
and seemingly trite rule.
Girls are not allowed to leave
the dorms if their feet are not
properly covered for fear that
they could thus unthinkingly do
irreparable damage to their
reputation, and possibly hurt the
image of ECU.

across the United States.
FRIDAY NIGHT BEST
But, to the point, and what I
am talking about is the Hampton
Jazz Festival. TK-y broke the
doors down at Hampton, and
really went all �t to put on an
outstanding show. On the
program were Duke Ellington,
Ray Charles, Herbie Handcock,
Dave Brubeck and Gerry
Mulligan, Sun Ra, Nina Simone,
George Benson, Booker T. and
the M.Gs, Roland Kirk, and the
rock group known as Sly and the
Family Stone. Also on the
program was the elegant Miles
Davis and Young Holt
Unlimited. The Friday night
concert turned out to be the
best of the lot, for reasons I'll
later explain. At any rate,
George Benson, a young jazz
guitarist started the evening off
and a fine start it was. Benson is
young, talented, and probably
the heir to the throne left by
Wes Montgomery.
Benson sounded a lot like
Montgomery, with a little Szabo
thrown in, and this is only
natural, I'm told, since he much
admired the late Montgomery.
Benson had a good set, his flute
player was excellent, and the
concert was off to a aood start.

Ellington is in a class by
himself, and is always a pro, and,
as you know, royalty is different

After Ellington there was a
short intermission and then
Young Holt Unlimited came on.
Red Holt and Eldee Young were
former sidemen with Ramsey
Lewis for thirteen years, so you
can imagine the sound that they
have. Also in their group was
Ken Chaney, a Canadian pianist,
and Cleo Griffin, a trumpet
player.
HAS TO BE SEEN
The Young Holt sound was
very Ramsey Lewisish and
r'thymical. Holt gave the crowd
some thrills with a tremendous
drum solo, and Eldee Young
proved that all bass players are
lead guitarists at heart by
picking out "Elenor Rigby" on
his cello. Young-Holt went
offstage to their own
composition, "Soulful Strut"
and the stage was set for the
appearance of Roland Kirk.
Kirk's first song was a happy,
jilting, vibrating number, and
after some applause from the
fans, Kirk yelled into the
microphone, "you people who
ain't clapping now, will be by
the time I finish
was radio, a couple of whistles, and a
flute. Kirk is a
multi instrumentalist, but not in
the usual sense as that most
multi instrumentalists play their
instruments one at a time and
Kirk plays them all at once. It is
worth mentioning that Roland
Kirk is blind.
Roland Kirk knows his stuff,
and he went into high gear. Kirk
blew hard, fast, and melodic,
and by his second song had them
dancing in the aisles. People
crowded the fences separating
the stage from the audience and
before long everyone in the
place was dancing. Kirk never
slowed his pace, only sped it up,
and when he hit "Volunteer
Slavery all hell broke loose
with many loud screams, shouts,
and a moan or two thrown in for
harmony.
Kirk left the stage to cries of
"more, more" and it is safe to
assume that they know Roland
Kirk in Hampton now. It was, I
believe, the outstanding
performance of the evening and
of the concert.
CROWDED STAGE
It was left to the explosive
Sly Stone and his family to
finish the job that Kirk had
started, and the job was left in
good hands.
After twenty minutes or so,
during which Sly had troubles
with his organ, Sly and The
Family started to pour it on.
Soon, everyone was dancing, and

dance.
PRODUCER WORRIED
Backed by twenty-thousand
dollars worth of sound
equipment Sly hit them hard
and then he, his brother, and his
bass player, jumped into the
crowd to get everyone up
dancing. They did. Sly got up on
some chairs and began singing
"higher and higher" and the
crowd really got torn up and
another group rushed the stage.
Sly went back on stage, did
his thing some more, and
watched the patrons as they
crawled on stage to dance with
him. George Wein, festival
producer, looked a little
worried, so he gave the word to
Sly to cool it, and they did,
leaving the crowd in a rythym
riot and finishing off the first
night's performance in a bang,
literally. Fun.
HEAVY SINGING
Saturday afternoon old pro
Ray Charles entertained, and
what can you say about Ray
Charles except that he is great
and always will be. "Georgia on
My Mind" went over big, but
then, so does everything that
Charles sings, and his group was
tremendous as usual. The
Raelets socked it to everybody
with some very heavy singing
and dancing, and things ended
up with "What'd I Say" and Ray
went home. Verdict: great.
Saturday night had Miles
Davis, Gerry Mulligan and
Brubeck, Nina Simone, Booker
T and Sun Ra. Before the next
dance, let me set the scene for
you. It was hot (in the 80's and
the crowd was restless and tired.
DAVIS SPARKLING
The fashionable Mr. Davis led
off the show and he turned in
his usual sparkling performance.
By God, it's good to see a
professional at work, especially
one of the caliber of Miles Davis,
and Davis gave the crowd some
soul-stirring solos in his
tremendous set.
Brubeck and Mulligan were

Human error causes
delay in counting
Human error in the voting
last Tuesday for Student
Government Association officers
and legislature resulted in a
disrupted computer, and votes
being recounted by hand.
ECU was the first school in
the nation to acquire the
computer, and the only school
in the southeast to have the
Optical Reader.
The importance of the
computer is seen not only in its
use in campus elections, but also
in test grading, pre-registration,
and freshman orientation.
Even with the breakdown and
the mistakes in the tallying of
votes, the computer still cut the
work of the Election Committee
in a third.
During past elections the
results were never known before
two or three in the morning.
With the use of the computer
the time is cut to eleven thirty at
the latest, saving not only time
but also the manpower needed
to tally the votes by hand.
Summer elections had been
designated as the trial run of the
computer to see if it was a
feasable solution to the late
hours and confusion in the past.
The major problem occurred
when the computer invalidated
those votes which were marked
with incorrect markings.
Through testing, and retesting,
all the major problems have been
realized and solutions are being
worked out in time for fall
elections.
Among the suggested
improvements for fall elections
are more space between
candidate names, clearer
instructions on the card and
possibly even a class on how to
mark your ballot correctly.

Howard leaves to
assume new position
Henry B. Howard, Director of
Public Relations, has resigned his
position at ECU, effective July I.
He resigned to take a position in
the public relations department
of Burlington Industries in
Greensboro, N.C.
Howard was the first full time
director of the News Bureau. He
came to East Carolina in 1963 as
a graduate of UNC School of
Journalism and as an
experienced reporter previously
associated with the Greenville
Daily Reflector.
Under Howard's direction,
the physical plant of the News
Bureau has expanded from
several rooms in Rawl Annex to
its present location in one wing
of Erwin Hall.
More employees were
necessary to the expanded
operations of the News Bureau.
This need has been filled to a
great extent by student workers.
Student participat. jn in the
functioning of the Bureau has
been stressed by Howard.
Plans for a monthly ECU
news summary were also begun
under Howard. The first issue is
scheduled for release in the fall.
Use of computers by the News
Bureau is also scheduled for
expansion in the near future.
While at ECU, Howard also
served as publicity director for
the Summer Theater, the Coastal
Plain Development Association
and several community projects.
During this time he also received
the Cert.ficate of Merit from the
American College Public
Relations Association.
At this time replacement for
Howard has not been announced.

jar River Poets'
Words to be shared
By ALBERT PERTALION
A PERSONAL POET
My first reaction to Tar River
Poets (East Carolina Poetry
Trn Series Seven) was one of
ambivalence: I felt the
publishers (for all practical
purposes the writers as well) to
be either unabashedly
presumptuous or optimistically
humorous, since they had listed
the price for this number in
French francs and English
pounds as well as American
dollars.
My fust reaction was a
surface one, of course, and a
closer perusal of Series Number
Seven revealed five poets who
wnte with ambition, feeling, and
verve.
SELFLESS AND SELFISH
Allied Wang appears to
handle his concepts with the
greatest confidence. Even his
form is the most consistent. His
poetry has the quiet assurance
that is reminiscent of Frost.
For me, his third (all are
untitled) poem is best.
Chronicling the close of a day, it
ends in a numble juxtaposition
of selfless and selfish love.
The layout of Wang's poems
is a bit unfortunate. His ninth
poem is long and is continued on
the backside of a page, it should
have been printed on opposing
pages
DIVERSE SUBJECT MATTER
Robert McDowell's poems are
the most diverse in subject
mattei and approach. If we
could view poetry as a spectrum,
his "The One time Reformer
and "Orpheus: A Death Song"
would exist at opposite ends
with his other poems falling
somewhere in the middle.
The first, a scant three liner,
is a fleeting concept which
incorporates the title in its pun.
The second developes a classic
theme in a rambling sixty nine
lines of mixed (and, at times,
forced) rhyme schemes. But
hoth are somehow effective.
MOST AMBITIOUS
Of the five poets, Carol
Hallman is the most ambitous
ard the hardest to understand.
H(t poems smack (I hate to
V this, since one poem is
entitled "The Existentialist's
Credo") 0f extentialism. Some

Wh.tney Hadden is, perhaps,

bumbed. He started off with
some weird music where there

Joe College
Election analysis
IS
dead
A famiiar presence is suddenly missing from the
college campus. After years as the "All American"
institution personifying the anti-intellectual current that
characterizes American academic endeavor, "Joe
College" has quietly vanished from the scene.
You remember Joe College. He was the boy that
made the Andy Hardy movies believable, archetypal
older brother who returned home from one of our
"ivy-clad" institutions to be outwitted by his elders at
every turn. Moral: common sense is more valuable than
book I'arning" any day.
That platitude began to outwear its credibility in the
fifties when hundreds of intellectually serious students
rejected the "values" and cliches of American academic
life for a bohemian existence outside of the universities.
The "beatniks" of the fifties were ridiculed and
condemned, but never explained.
The sixties began with the evolution of the "new
left" from the clubbed and calloused bohemians who
had lost their innocence, and sometimes their lives, in
the jails of Alabama and Mississippi. The survivors form
the hard core nucleus of today's new left.
These "New Puritans as one critic aptly designated
them, attack America's social problems with the fervor
of abolitionists and the practical politics of a Tammany
Democrats. They were never "McCarthy's childre
They lost their dreams long before Chicago.
Drawn, for the most part, from college and university
students of the sixties, the leadership of the new left
exercises a critical attitude toward domestic problems
that is both scientific and libertarian, an attitude
passed down from the "new critics" of the thirties.
Radicalism in America is largely a university
phenomena. The campus provides the nucleus of the
new left's leadership- and the source of many of today's
most pressing problems. The involvement of educational
institutions in research concerning chemical and
biological warfare, counter-insurgency techniques, and
industrial development for units of the
military-industrial complex has been criticized as
complicity with imperialism in Southeast Asia and
exploitation on the home front.
Confrontation between campus militants and
administration and trustees has been brought into
immediate prominence. Outbreaks of violence on
college campuses have been the objects of concern by
some-and paranoia by many.
People are asking themselves whatever happened to
Joe College - that champion of the fun-loving,
semi-athletic anti-mentality who managed to rise above
his education to make something of himself in the real
world.
Joe College is dead. It makes no difference whether
he was politicized in Chicago or murdered in the jungles
of Vietnam.
Rumors that he is alive and well within the ranks of
the "silent majority those invisible types who define
"college" as the four years between high school and
military service, will never be substantiated. Apathetic
students, like "good Germans leave no mark in the
course of history.
Joe College is dead, and hopefully buried. His place
at the universities has been taken by millions of students
who look upon their education with an attitude of
seriousness.

Adams breaks all rules - and wins!
By BOB ROBINSON
"What happened!?"
That is the reaction of many
campus politicians to Robert K.
"Mad dog" Adams' win in last
week's campus election.
According to orthodox
standards, Adams did not do any
of the things he should have
done to win. He broke just
about every campaign taboo
there is. He was discounted as a
winner by the "old pros"
throughout the week. Only at 4
p.m. on election day did
politically sensitive barometers
stop registering Mancini and
begin to drift slowly toward
Adams.
Why did Adams win? Does
his victory show any emerging
political trends?
Probably the main factor in
the Adams victory and the
independent sweep is the
different characters of the two
presidential candidates, and the
different make-up of the
summer school electorate. individual pitted against the rich
Adams was definitely the and powerful machine. Tied ud
more aggressive of the two. His somewhere in this factor was a
approach to people was much feeling of resentment against the
University Party's political
more dynamic than Mancini s.
He also was probably more in
tune with the mood of the
people.
CAMPAIGN STYLE
To borrow a word from
another columnist, the style of
summer school is more casual
than regular session. Students
feel uncomfortable in ties and
long pants, and shoes make their
feet hot. Subconsciously they
felt that someone wearing this
type of get up was foolish. Also,
they are less serious during the
summer and the very name
"Mad dog" evoked light hearted
images.
The main variable was style,
unorthodox methods for
unorthodox times.
Less important factors also
entered in and contributed to
the victory.
One was sympathy The poor
monopoly.
NEW TRENDS
The last factor brings us to
the question, are any new
political trends emerging? In this
writer's opinion No The
coalition that Adam's put
together for his victory does not
exist in sufficient strength in
regular session to be a
permanent factor.
In the fall when the political
parties suggest that the voters
"Leave the driving to us the
voters will.
Also, the people in the party
system are pragmatist. The-? will
examine this campaign closely,
find their mistakes, and adjust to
prevent any reoccurance of
them.
It was a fine campaign
would like to congra
"Mad dou" on a well e
victory.

u late
ecu forum
Dear Editor:
I want to take this
opportunity to congratulate Bob
Adams, Craig Souza, and Nancy
Cannady on having been elected
to the Student Government
executive offices. Hopefully
more than the usual interest in
the Student Government has
been generated as a result of this
election. If this is indeed the
case, then the ultimate net result
will only serve to advance the
cause of student government on
this campus.
I have always had strong
personal convictions about the
Student Government
Association. I deeply believe in
it and in all of the positive things
it stands for. I feel confident
that each of the victorious
candidates (Bob, Craig, and
Nancy) will do well in their
respective office. I wish each of
them the best of luck in their
endeavours within the SGA.
Sincerely,
Len Mancini
Dear Students:
At this time I would like to
thank the many people on this
campus that supported me
throughout my campaign and
elected me to the office of
president.
Everyone participated fully
and everyone deserves an equal
share of the credit for my
election. The support of an
entire student body is extremely
necessary for a well-workinq
SGA.
I believe now we can see that
a united student body can take
an active part in student
government elections.
Thank you again for your
vote.
Robert K. Adams
Dear Students,
On Tuesday, June 24 I was
elected to SGA Legislature
through the support of
interested students of ECU. At
this time, I wish to express my
sincere gratitude not only to
those students who supported
my candidacy, but to each and
every student who felt enough
involved in FCU affairs to
participate in the election at all.
An involved student body is
necessary in order for the SGA
to function effectively.
In addition to thanking all
those who voted in the general
election, I wish to thank the
memhers of the Legislature itself
for electing me Speaker of the
Legislature. I feel that this is a
job second in importance, and in
the amount of work involved,
only to the Presidency of the
SGA.
The fact that this is a summer
school legislature makes it no
different. The functions of this
legislature are the same as those
of any SGA legislature. Perhaps,
in a sense, the present legislature
is more important than the
regular legislature. This is
because the summer school
sessions provide a perfect time
for experimenting with new
forms and structures, and
providing innovations for the
following year. Hopefully, this
legislature will prove that point.
In the past, the summer
school SGA has a tradition of
doing practically nothing. They
have stayed with routine
administrative work and have
neglected policy-making
decisions. However, I strongly
believe that this legislature must
set a precedent for the future by
being an exception to this rule.
I would like to see this
legislature become actively
involved in policy making. And
the legislature does not need to
stick only to decisions on
matters over which they have
direct control. It is time for the
legislature to expand.
Matters which are not
directly under SGA control i an
be acted on through resolutions
which state the opinion of this
body. The influence of the SGA
is a powerful force, and the
legislature is obligated to tin
student to use that influence foi
the benefit of the student.
And speaking of students,
there are very few students who
understand the structure or the
functions of the SGA The
student body put each of us
here, and they are at least
entitled to know what we are
doing. Thus, the SGA should
work toward a closer
relationship with the student
through improved
communications.
For the benefit of any
interested student who may have
fresh ideas on any facit of
student government, beginning
on Monday, July 7, I will keep
office hours from 13 p.m. in
room 310 Wright Annex. Your
ideas may be presented to me
for consideration at that time.
Wayne Eads
Speaker, SGA Legislature
Dear Students,
We wish to express our
sincere appreciation for all the
support given to us in the recent
SGA election. There are many
individuals who merit a special
word of thanks for their time
and successful efforts spent
working on our campaign. To
these individuals and all the
students of ECU who have
shown their confidence in us by
electing us to our offices, we are
indeed grateful.
We shall strive to carry out
our duties efficiently with you,
the student body, in mind.
Thank you,
Nancy Cannady
