Summers slated for press secretary post Realizing the gap between students, the community, and the Student Government Association, John Schofield, President of Regular Session SGA, established a new post of Press Secretary last May. Schofield noted that his purpose for establishing the position was "to communicate, with the students through expanded means which will serve the area, such as radio, television, and the East Carolinain Gerald Roberson was the first Press Secretary and served in the month of May until the present Secretary, Dan Summers was appointed. COMMUNICATION GAP Roberson stated the purpose of the post was to "fulfill the lack of communication between the SGA and the students and also to inform the 'people of Eastern Carolina of the activities and outstanding abilities of East Carolina During Roberson's tenure in office he aimed toward a weekly television show and laid the foundation for future expansion of the post through all forms of news media. Though the post was created under Schofield's platform, Robert K. Adams, President of Summer School SGA, approved the position to continue this summer instead of resuming in the Fall. FUTURE PLANS Summers, a rising junior in the Geography Department, stated that he had just started to get organized. His plans for the future are to expand the reputation of East Carolina through not only radio but also television. As Press Secretary Summers has established set times for broadcasts on various radio stations throughout Greenville. He appears on WECU every Tues. and Thurs. night at 7:30 p.m and on WOOW every Mon. and Wed. night at 10:15 p.m. His "ECU Report" is also carried on WNCT each Wed. night at 8:30 p.m. During Second Session of Summer School he plans to begin a 5 minute program on WECU Campus TV to report on A small group of students celebrated Independence Day by distributing copies of the Bill of Rights on the Greenvilie Post Office stL.js. Raeford Bland, a student at ECU and a spokesman for the "concerned citizens" involved, said that the purpose of the demonstration was to "affirm our faith and belief in thn Constitution, and particularly in the Bill of Rights The group had about 500 copies of the Bill of Rights and one sign which read, 'Get Your Free Copy of the Bill of Rights Here " DOCUMENT OFFERED Participants offered the document to passersby from 12 noon until 6:00. When the group first assembled early Friday afternoon, acting Police Chief Thomas Gladson informed them that they would not be allowed to demonstrate because they had not obtained a permit. The leaders of the group explained that they were not planning to demonstrate anywhere except on the post office steps.1 No permit is needed to demonstrate on Federal property. Several demonstrators notea that the police seemed unsure of the size of the demonstration. They were told the police had allerted 70 State Patrol officers. what's happening around the campus as well as events of the past and future. Along with his other duties, Dan also writes a column once a week for the East Carolinian entitled, "From the Executive Desk which relates the activities of the SGA for the week.

Although there were a few minor complications, it is my hope that this process can be utilized in all future elections. I am pleased to announce in less than one week in office certain of the planks of my platform have been implemented. Probably the most important of these is the opening of the Soda Shop an hour earlier. SODA SHOP OPENS On Tuesday, July 1st, they opened at 7:30 a.m. for the first time. I urge each of you to take advantage of this service. In addition, the SGA Legislature has formed a committee to look into the possibility of opening the Student Supply Store at 7:30. With cooperation from the new Dean of Women, Carolyn Fulghum, student hostesses will be on duty during the hour of 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the House Counselor's office in each of the girls' dorms beginning second session summer school. After nearly two months of silence, the public address system in Greene dormitory has been repaired. Also, for your convenience, two hundred copies of the minutes from the SGA Legislature meeting will be placed at "The East Carolinian" newspaper stand in the University Union Lobby ORIGINALS PERFORM For the first time the Summer School Dance will be held off campus Saturday, July 12th.
