legislature passes 'Space'
resolution honoring landing
During the Tuesday, July 22,
meeting of the Summer School
Legislature, a committee was
established to look into the
possibility of having either a
reading day before exams or
either two days of exams for
this, the second term of Summer
School. The committee is
expected to meet with Dr. Holt
and report next Tuesday.
Dean Rudolph Alexander,
adviser to the Legislature, said
that Fidel Castro's sister will
speak in Wright Auditorium
Thursday, July 31, at 7:30. The
public is invited to attend. He
also asked that the Summer
School Legislature observe the
attendance of the concert
Tuesday to determine whether
or not the Summer School
entertainment is worthwhile.
POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT
Since the popular
entertainment committee has to
book the groups for the Summer
during Spring Quarter they will
need your opinion in order to
make a decision. In the past it
seems that more people from the
Greenville area have attended
the concerts than the University
students themselves.
RESOLUTION PASSED
Also, the following resolution
was passed:
WHEREAS: At four hours,
seventeen seconds on the
afternoon of July 20, 1969
A.D two American astronauts.
Col. Edward Aldrin and Neil
Armstrong, became the first men
to land on our moon, and;
WHEREAS: Their objective
was in the enhancement of
human knowledge rather than in
the destruction of their kind,
and;
WHEREAS: The landing in
the Sea of Tranquility represents
a beginning of a new era of
mankind, and;
WHEREAS: The effort that
accomplished this feat of great
magnitude began in May, 1961,
with words A the late President
John F. Kennedy, and;
WHEREAS: The United
States has been the scene of
great social upheavals and the
scene of too many tragic
occurrences that have deprived
us of three of our greatest
leaders.
Be It Resolved That:
It is the hope and reverent
prayer of the summer school
legislature of the Student
Government Association of East
Carolina University that the
dawning of this new area in the
history of man will restore pride
and faith in our system of
representative government and
that a feeling of compromise,
faith, and understanding with
and of our fellow man will again
reign supreme.

Central business district
revitalization seminar planned
for Sept. 4 at ECU
By VERNON MORTON
Downtown and the city, once
synonymous with urban
dwellers, will be re-examined by
a panel of planning, government,
architecture, landscaping, and
business leaders at a day-long
seminar scheduled Thursday,
Sept. 4, at East Carolina
University.
Purpose of the seminar is to
provide participants an overview
of "the central business district
revitalization approach" as a
means of resolving economic
difficulties which are
compounding the problems of
many North Carolina
communities.
URBAN REBIRTH
According to university
sponsors, the seminar will be the
first in a series of conferences
designed to assist the state's
cities and towns in rebirth of
their downtown areas.
Seminar sessions, which will
be held in the South Dining Hall
on the ECU campus, begin at
8:30 a.m. Wes Hankins, director,
Urban and Regional Planning
Program, geography department
of the university, will preside.
Participants on the program
include David R. Godschalk,
editor of The Journal of the
American Institute of Planners,
Department of Urban ar.J
Regional Planning, University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill;
Mrs. ally Schauman, landscape
archT?fy t, Lewis Clarke
Associates, Raleigh; Don
Masterson, chairman,
Department of Product Design,
N.C. State University at Raleigh;
John Sams and W.A. Clark,
representatives, Department of
Housing and Urban
Development, Atlanta, Ga and
Joe Robinson, vice president,
Belk Stores Services, Inc

REGISTRATION
Municipal officials and
administrators, businessmen,
community planning board
members and others desiring
information on seminar
registration should contact the
Division of Continuing
Education, East Carolina
University, P.O. Box 2727,
Greenville, North Carolina
27834. Advance registrations are
required and they must be
received not later than August
18.
University sponsoring
organizations include the Urban
and Regional Planning Program
of the Department of
Geography, the Regional
Development Institute, and the
Division of Continuing
Education. Special assistance in
arranging the conference is being
provided by the Neuse River and
Mid East Economic
Development Commissions.
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
"Many communities in North
Carolina are struggling with
acute economic problems
Thomas W. Willis, Director of
the ECU Regional Development
Institute said in emphasizing the
importance of the seminar
"These communities are
experiencing significant losses in
retail trade, caused primarily by
the deterioration of the central
business district in terms of
appearance and functional
adequacy.
"This seminar offers a rare
opportunity Willis concluded,
"for community leaders
interested in the revitalization of
their central business areas to
find new and promising answers
to the problem of restoring their
vitality
Chimes ring for a trial
period on campus
Spring Quarter of last year
the Senior Class officers met to
decide on a gift that the Senior
Class of 1969 would leave to the
University. Steve Morrisette,
Senior Class President, said that
after conferring with Bill
Eyerman, who is director of
Alumni Affairs, and other
University officials it was
decided to pursue the idea of
purchasing a victory bell.
A letter of inquiry was sent
to several bell companies; and
after reviewing their replies, IT.
Berdin Company of Cincinnati,
Ohio, was given the opportunity
to install a Carillon Bell System
for a 30 day trial period.
On July 11, Charles Berdin
brought this system to East
Carolina University and installed
it on the roof of the new Science
Building. The reason the chimes
were installed at this location
was to attempt to achieve
maximum listening fidelity.
Also, the chimes would be
located at a focal point on the
academic campus and could be
heard on the fringe of the men's
and women's dorms as well.
A JOINT PROJECT
The $3500 bell system is a
joint project of the Senior Class,
the Alumni Association and the
Student Government
Association. At the present, the
chimes strike each half hour and
the Alma Mata is played each
day at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Appropriate seasonal music can
be played; for example,
Christmas carols.
For athletic events, we have a
victory bell that will be played.
When a state of national figure
passes away, we have a toll bell
that will be played. For future
use there is an input for a
microphone which can be used
for campus announcements. The
taped system is composed of
two 200-watt amplifiers and six
31-inch speakers. At the present,
we have two tape decks and four
tape cartridges that are being
used. The potential for such
system is quite unlimited.
Any comments that you have
about the system, whether good
or bad, may be referred to Mr.
Bill Eyerman at 758-6072 in the
Alumni Affairs office.

Ayers named assistant
to President Jenkins
John S. A yers Jr. of
Lumberton has assumed his
duties as assistant to the
president at ECU. The creation
of this post is a result of the
gradual restructuring of the
college administration, which
also created the General College
two years ago.
Ayers, 24, is a graduate of the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill where he received a
BS degree, and he also holds the
MBA degree from East Carolina.
He has taught business courses at
Camp Lejeune, Goldsboro, and
Cherry Point. In the spring of
1968, Ayers also taught business
at ECU, making him familiar
with this campus from the
standpoint of administrator as
well as student.
In announcing the
appointment Dr. Jenkins said,
"John Ayers is a competent,
well rounded young man who
will be of great value to the
university. It is to our advantage
to have a young person closely
associated with the office. We
feel that his presence will give us
a closer liaison with our students
and enable us to better interpret
their needs and goals
There are many facets of
student life which interest
Ayers. At the present time he is
working with the Crew, helping
them replace their equipment
losses. He is also concerned with
the growing sie of classes here
on campus and the pressure
many students feel while in
school.
Besides participating directly
in the student life here at ECU,
Ayers will also address Beta
Clubs and other high school
organisations in behalf of East
Carolina University. Saying he
never excelled in public
speaking, Ayers is hoping for
large, noisy crowds.
Complaints or suggestions'

Keeping a promise that I

Despite the lack of beauty
and things to do in Greenville,
East Carolina holds some strange
power over people who have
attended and then left for other
parts. One finds it necessary to
return here at least once. Why
this is done, is another question
that I find incapable of

Anyway, it is time we moved

purpose, but as East Carolina

It is indeed pleasing to find
that womens' hours have

"Bare" has always been a

but now bare feet seems to be

it doesn't seem to matter that
there is no rule (written or
verbal) prohibiting bare feet on
campus.AII that is necessary is to

Department: Ah, the heady
tradition of hurrying to your 8
o'clock class, walking in step to
the big band sound of the East
Carolina alma mater played by
four ivy covered loud speakers
perched like vultures on top of
the science building. These
loudspeakers play the entire
ECU theme song at eight in the
morning and at five in the
afternoon. In between, the
intent listener will hear parts of
the tune plus the added
attraction of chimes that tell
you what time it is. All this is
brought to you through the
coninuing miracle of electricity.
BALI HIGH
The students of East
Carolina, always in search of the

of drinks that produce the

PSEUDO LINE
East Carolina has become
well known as the home of the
line. Most male students and
many female students are
forever on the lookout for the
ultimate line which will ensure
them of picking up, or being
picked up by a cool member of
the opposite sex. The best that
I've witnessed thus far occurred
in the Buc several nights ago.
One cool, suave guy had located
his prey for the evening and
closed to within three feet of her
and gazing into her eyes he
spake thusly: "you are a bunny,

Model Twenty-One
The first time anyone hears the
KLH Model Twenty-One FM
Radio, he won't believe his eyes.
It produces a totally unreasonable
amount of sound for its size�enough
to fill any room in the home.
The reasons for this are hidden
inside its oiled walnut cabinet.
They include advanced solid-state
circuitry (powerful, sensitive, and
drift-free) and KLH's remarkable
miniature full-range speaker.
Also included are output jacks for
extension speakers and for making
tape recordings off the air.

Model Eleven-W
The KLH Model Eleven-W is the
phonograph equivalent of the
Model Twenty-One. It delivers
performance far out of proportion to
its size and cost, with the added
surprise of stereo.
There's a custom-built Garrard
record changer with Pickering
cartridge and diamond stylus, a
powerful solid-state amplifier, and
two of KLH's unique miniature
full-range speakers. Plus jacks for
plugging in a tape recorder or radio.
All inside three small and handsome
oiled-walnut cabinets that tuck

How much do you have to pay for
a really wonderful, and complete,
stereo music system?
Less than you may have heard.
The KLH Model Twenty-Four
sounds like twice its price. Its
sensitive, drift-free FM (high quality
AM too, if you like) stereo tuner,
custom-built Garrard record changer
with Pickering cartridge and
diamond stylus, powerful solid-rtate
amplifier, and two full-range

V-
noted North Carolina authors
By MAXIM TABORY
While browsing in our university bookstore for many of us it will be a
heartwarming experience to come across The Long View Journal. This periodical,
which is offered for the first time for sale at ECU, contains the works of noted
North Carolina writers.
The material present jd has a depth of perception which can hold the candle to
any literary paper in the country. If you read it, you will discover why I am so
enthusiastic.
This issue is a colorful collection of poems, articles, short stories, excerpts from
fcur books in preparation, whose authors are members of the Longview Writers
Inc two book reviews, several art reproductions, and illustrations. The limited
space here does not permit me to review all of them. I hope the few I have picked
out will present a cross section of those two hundred pages.
MEDITATIVE LINES
Where to start? I have an affinity for poemsWith her introspectively
meditative lines Ann Jackson puts me in a nostalgic mood. In her poem "Heart
Talk" she ponders:
Whatever happened to heart talk?
The spontaneous communication
That sped from soul to soul
Before intellect stripped away warmth
To leave emotion, naked and ashamed,
Hiding behind restrained lines
Whose phrases freeze what cries to be said,
Telling too little for the fear of feeling too much.
THE ETERNAL THEMES
The eternal themes, love and heartbreak are illuminated with uncommon
freshness in a poem by a guest poet, A. Kenneth Nisbet, a Scottish high school
boy.
Way back here in winter
I try to knit a rare stitch of summer
To my cold life
But we won't feel the cold.
We'll walk inside each other as usual -
Our own little summer, forged from the heat of friendship.
Our forests will be green and lush and perfect.
When the foliage of our love dies,
Then will be the winter true and cold.
Being a poet of sorts myself, and also having some "Bull's Blood
wholeheartedly agree with Calvin Criner's "Advice to Young Women
Come, ladies.
Take a poet for your lover
He may make love to you
As subtly as a wounded bull
But he will celebrate your loveliness throughout the land
And make you immortal.
Criner is also a master of the short stoy. In his "Private Drive in which a
regular pleasure drive in the country, witi. the mediation of the mysterious Mr.
Frazier, a sort of nobleman with not exactly noble intentions, takes a young
thrill-seeking couple in a twinkling into one of the other dimensions, which is
either heaven or hell orbetween. You, the reader are left to pick out for them
the most suitable sphere
"COOKING FOR SURVIVAL'
Peggy Hoffmann and Gerald Hunter collaborated to give us a glimpse into their
forthcoming book, "Cooking for Survival which was "tested and approved by
ten-year old gourmets When I was that age I could chew up everything which
did not move on its own account in my mouth.
Their tempting recipes call for alligators, snakes, skunks, frogs, eels, lizards, rat,
mice, bear, grass, berries, acorns, and palms. The authors do not offer these
delicacies as everyday fare, but only for special occasions. No! Not for birthday
parties, nor for ladies' luncheons, but for unfortunate wayfarers who are lost in
the wilds, or in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. The authors also give some
sensible advice concerning of the value of food which can be found in the open.
This promises to be an invaluable book not only for the Green Berets, but also
for most gourmets who want to learn about unusual food and what to do to
render them edible and tasty.

A MASTERFUL STORY
The masterful story "A Matter of Trust" by Suzanne Newton has excellent
characterization, fluency, mounting tension, and the atmosphere of a very real
teenage world. I found this story full of charm and vitality.
Campbell Reeves's most informative article "The Remarkable N.C. State Art
Society" gives a short historical overview of the Society, its function,
accomplishments, important purchases, and its support of the State Art Museum.
RELATING THE UNRELATED
Does this issue present any central theme?
We are so used to themes, projects, and central ideas, that we tend to forget
that true literary pieces have merits on their own. Brought together they are all
parts of Literature, the ever present binding force which always relates the
seemingly unrelated.

A TAPESTRY ARTIST
Dr. Senta Bier wrote an article about a tapestry artist. This account she calls
"Notes on a N.C. Artist Silvia Stucky Heyden In the title the word "Notes" is
an understatement. I take this to be a superior piece of writing.
It gives me information of a tapestry artist, her origin, schooling, descriptive
and critical remarks on several of her works, the Swiss system of trade education
fascinating technical details, a comparison between the arts of painting and
weaving, the birth of a tapestry three stories high, and of a successful experiment
in the creation of an original tapestry involving the active participation of mental
patients.
These were the most engaging six pages of informative materials I have ever
read about an artist.

'Goodbye Columbus' proves
unexpected success
By LARRY MULVIHILL
"Every Father's Daughter Is
A Virgin" is the rather eye
grabbing come on for a movie
that has just left Greenville. The
movie lives up to its billing and
the billing lives up to the movie.
Goodbye Columbus has got to
be the greatest sleeper of the
year. It was first called a Yiddish
Graduate, but crowds at the box
office have proved how truly
un-anti-Semetic the youth of
today are. Aside from a few
Yiddish phrases and customs,
the movie could be about any
guy and any girl, and the
troubles with the typical
summer romance.
The two main characters in
this movie are Neil played by
Dick Benjamin and Brenda as
portrayed by Ali Macgraw, and
it is the story of their meeting,
summer love and September
betrayal. Neil and Brenda are so
perfectly cast that one fears that
they are not acting as much as
they are showing the world a
part of your past. Despite the
beauty of the movie, most
people that saw Goodbye
Columbus were uncomfortable
because many of the celuloid
situations hit quite close to the
perosnal truth.
The female lead in the movie
is supposed to be a twenty year
old East coast college girl, and it
is played perfectly by Miss
Macgraw. One shudders when it
is discovered that Ali Macgraw is
a thirty year old fashion model.
This reporter can only state that
for being thirty, she is in a
remarkable state of presen'ation.
Dick Benjamin as Neil is
outstanding as the
semi-bumbling lover whose
painful summer troubles create
true humor in the movie. Some
of Benjamin's facial expressions
and physical reactions are
perfect works of silent mirth.
Producer Stanley Jaffe has
kept his movie very close to the
novella by Phillip Roth. Taking a
cast of true unknowns, Jaffe has
created a beautiful, visual tour
of the summer romance.
From Brenda down to the
younger sister, the cast is so well
picked that it appears no one is
really acting.
One of the single greatest
moments in the movie comes
when Brenda encounters one of
her snobby friends who icely
asks her what she has been doing
all summer. Brenda's cool and
highly unexpected answer so
stung you that you have to think
about it several times to realize
why she really said it. It is also
one of the most honnestly funny
lines in the entire movie.
If there is a weakness in the
movie, it would have to be the
music. It features a half dozen
new offerings by The
Association who never quite
equal the rest of the movie.
However the tunes are not
unpleasant and they are not that
big a part to the movie.
When asked what the movie
Plans for new college
union to be studied
Large lounge areas and game
rooms will characterize the new
University Union.
Tentative plans for the new
union building have been drawn
by a Raleigh Architectural firm
and a site on Eighth St. between
the Library and James St. has
been approved by the Board of
Trustees.
The plans now call for two
large lounge areas, a 12 lane
bowling alley, seperate rooms
for table tennis and billards, and
a large soda shop. Also the
Central Ticket Office, the
Student Government
Association, the photolab, and
all student publications will be
housed in the building.
The plans are now being
studied by a committee
composed of representatives of
the administration, the SGA,
and the University Union. The
committee is trying to determine
what type of facilities should be
included in the building and
suggest changes in the plans.
A consulting firm will
probably be called in to
incorporate the committee's
recommendations and to plan a
better system of traffic
movement within the building.
Also, a poll of students is
being planned for the fall to try
for a broader determination of
what students want to be
included in the building.

This is rather unjust, because
although both movies deal with
youth, they are quite different
and the viewer relates to each
movie in two rather opposite
ways. My final comment can
only be: if you missed Goodbye
Columbus in Greenville, take
some time to track it down
when you return home.

For ages man has marveled at the moon. Poets
and philosophers have devoted untold millions of words
to this strange phenomenon. Scientists have pondered
its existence for centuries.
And now, we are there. In a few short years, man has
progressed from a crude airplane, with its 12 second
flight, to a self sustaining space vehicle, capable of
escaping the earth's gravity, traveling to the moon and
returning in a matter of days.
The recent moon shot is a dramatic display of power
through cooperation. That man can achieve through
cooperation seems to have been forgotten in this day of
political coercion.
Astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins are the
leaders in that adventure in cooperation. They are
probably the first universal heroes in the history of
mankind. But their success was the triumph of many
� from the factory worker to the research chemist,
thousands working toward a common goal.
What lies ahead? Hopefully, cooperation among
nations. Ironically, the differences which divide men
within this nation are not significantly greater than
those which separate entire nations from each other.
Yet for a brief moment, the alienated and the affluent
shared in the splendor of Apollo 11.
Together we watched man achieve an ancient dream
� to reach the moon. Perhaps this event will pave the
way toward international cooperation, and lead
eventually to the elimination of human suffering.
A beginning is more than a dream.

Our vested interest
"The East Carolinian" has a vested interest- ar�d we
are proud of it and tenacious in its exercise
We have a vested interest in truth which we ma ntain
by accurate reporting and knowledgeable anal y si jf
news.
We do not have a responsibility to report the majority
opinion� or the minority opinion, the opinion of the
student body, the faculty, the administration, or the
advertisers.
We do have a responsibility to present the truth based
on the facts as we know them, to provide impartial and
objective coverage of the news, and to comment
intelligently on the facts.
The views expressed in the editorial columns of "The
East Carolinian" represent the views of the Editorial
Board and are editorially and financially independent of
special interest because we believe that the functioning
of a free press in a free society is a sacred trust which
cannot- and must not be abbrogated to benefit private
ambitions or special interest.
We believe in a functioning press, free to serve the
people.
Perhaps the best expression of our purpose is
provided by Edmund Travis:
A free press is the protagonist
and preserver of all rights, the
foe and destroyer of all
tyrannies. It insures every good
cause a hearing and every false
doctrine a challenge. It is the
servant of Religion, Philosophy,
Science and Art, the agent of
truth, justice and civilization.
Possessing it, no people can be
held in intellectual or political
bondage. Without it none can be
secure aga-nst any form of
enslavement.

Dear Mr. McDowell,
Let's see if you believe
enough in the journalistic code
to print this letter. First of all, I
would like to admit that I am
flaming mad. Your editorial is a
disgrace to the field that you
profess to know so much about.
You found it convenient to use
only the positions of the
legislature's discussion that
would support your argument.
I have three main objections
to your editorial. (1) You stated
that "The East Carolinian" was
the only group to receive a
budget reduction. This is
entirely false and you would
know it if you listened in
legislature meetings. It was
expressly stated that several of
the budgets requested were less
than last year and that one
budget had been cut by $4000.
(2) You criticized Mr. Gasperini
for his lack of concern for "The
East Carolinian He should have
no concern for a paper that lost
approximately $400 in
advertising revenue from the
Spring Fashion Issue because
they didn't meet the printing
deadline. Also, you failed,
innocently I'm sure, to mention
that, even with the 12.5 cents
cut, "The East Carolinian" is
still receiving a 12.5 cents
increase over last year, in effect,
the increase over last year's
subscription rate is what was
cut. (3) You complained that
the SGA "continues to remain
solvent This, my friend, is the
obligation of the SGA to the
students to Have more assets
than liabilities.
I'll be looking for my letter in
the next issue. If not, there's
always my handy
mimeograph �
Fed up,
Brian R. Van Dercook
Dear Mr. Van Dercook,
Your letter questions the
editorial integrity of "The East
Carolinian" in such a manner
that it calls for an immediate
rebutal.
1. Whereas other groups had
their "requests" tor money
reduced either voluntarily or by
the consent of the Executive
Budget Committee, "The East
Carolinian" budget was reduced
by Mr. Gasperini under the
figure approved by the
Executive Budget Committee.
There is a difference between an
operating budget and a
budget-request. Also, you failed
to note that the $4000 cut from
one budget was designated for
the purchase of additional
equipment to be used fall
quarter. This was not a Summer
School expense and could be
cut.
2. "The East Carolinian" did
not lose money on the Spring
Fashion Issue. In fact, we made
approximately $100 after
expenses were deducted. The
delay you mentioned was caused
by equipment breakdown, not
by staff negligence.
3. As for the 12.5 cents
increase per student in
subscription rate, "The East
Carolinian" is accepting less than
its regular subscription rate
($1.25 per quarter which is
equivalent to two summer
sessions). By allowing the
Student Government
Association to pay 12.5 cents
per student less than our
subscription, "The East
Carolinian" is reducing profit to
a marginal level.
4. "The East Carolinian" did
not "complain" that the SGA
"continues to remain solvent
We merely stated a fact.
5. As for your implications as
to our editorial integrity, they
are groundless. Keep those cards
and letters coming, Mr. Van
Dercook.

To the editor.
Though I realize that you
can't do much about my current
problem, I am in an
expostulatory mood and shall
lament upon it in any case.
I would like to add my name,
or number, to the ranks of those
very disaffected with that
peculiar institution commonly
referred to as Joyner Library. It
must have, through some
blinding vision, realized that it
was not, afterall, even second
best, because it no longer even
tries hard.
I am of the lowly species of
life called the graduate student.
It is upon my back that teachers
hurl the dissatisfactions,
suspicions, and inadequacies,
calling such a move a work load.
To in some way stagger out from
the, at times, seemingly
impossible loads, a library of
sorts is often necessary. And
that is what we havea
libraryof sorts.
When this library, or
whateverthey do still store
books thereAnyway, when this
library decides to close itself
when it does, such as early
Fridays, and Saturdays, and all
last Sunday and MondayI go
out on lunatic b i n g e s of
predetermined malice. Forgive
me, but I olow my lid. I see life
passing before me (and my
money, I pay out of state
tuition).
The library, if it stayed open,
might, if one has a fiendish
imagination, be barely
adequiateWhy close it so often
and press your luck?
Emil John Sidroni
Dear Editor,
Monday, July 7, I wrote a
letter to the editor of "The East
Carolinian A letter appeared in
the Forum with my name at the
end of it. It was not the letter I
write. The printed letter differed
from the one I wrote by the
addition of one word, the
replacement of three, and the
omission of another, plus a tense
change and a spelling correction.
The content was altered
significantly.
The spelling correction was
obviously a demonstration of
Mr. McDowell's love for the
Language. The three words may
have been replaced because Mr.
McDowell had difficulty reading
the original letter, which was
written rather than typed. As for
Mr. McDowell's other
tamperings, there is no other
reason for them other than
contempt, or, at least, disrespect
for the trivial scribblings of a
common student, as opposed to
his own supreme eloquence.
Thank you, Mr. McDowell
I'll answer for my own mistakes
not yours. Meantime you might'
consider changing the statement
of "forum policy" to read
"signed articles on this page

Carolinian' and not necessarily
those of the author
Ken Finch
Dear Mr. Finch,
Your letter implies that your
previous letter, which was
printed in the "ecu forum" in
the July 9, 1969 issue of "The
East Carolinian was "altered"
to conform to our editorial bias;
however, you fail to list
specifically in what way your
content was changed
"significantly nor do you
suggest in what way our "bias"
benefited from the alleged
change.
It is our opinion that your
accusations are unfounded. They
are not substantiated by
specifics other than the fact that
corrections in grammar and
spelling were made. Indeed, it is
the policy of this
newspaper�and most other
newspapers, for that
matter- tocorrect misspellings
and faulty grammar rather than
subject the author to ridicule by
the inclusion of (sicafter each
mistake.
The "addition of one word,
the replacement of three, and
the omission of another, plus a
tense change were
undoubtedly a result of the
condition of the original
handwritten letter which
contained numerous corrections
and deletions. Any errors in
transcription were du to the
condition of the manuscript.
"The East Carolinian" regrets
any inconvenience caused the
author and suggests that all your
future letters to the editor by
typed or printed clearly to avoid
any misunderstandings.
