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. the east Carolinian Let us dare to read . think , speak and write Vol. 44 No. 23 East Carolina University Greenville, N.

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 Charlotte. 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. CROWNING OF SUMMER School Queen Christie Roberson by SGA Vice-president Craig Souza (left) with escort Jim Teal (right). 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' Try room 208 in the Administration Building. You will be heard.

One finds it necessary to return here at least once. Why this is done, is another question that I find incapable of answering as of now WATERING HOLE Anyway, it is time we moved off this dance of nostalgia and concentrate instead on this school. I refuse to think of myself as a reformer, but as in my last stay here, I intend to agitate for good and continued change. My old plaything.

In fact, 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 have six or seven housemothers get together and "decide" what is best for the girls that they "protect Whoever said that time means progress jot to reckon with the East Carolina housemother. BELLS OF SAINT LEO Ding Dong School 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.

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, a soft cuddly bunny, a snuggly soft MAD DOG AND BICS SGA president Bob Adams is to be congratulated for getting a few necessities paced jn the soda shop (ie. pens, bluebooks) Next on the list should be getting the bookstore to open its glittering doors at 7:30 a.m. It opens now at 8:15 a.m. and a more ridiculous time has yet to be created.

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. Want to surprise (and amaze) some friend? $89.95. t Suggested retail prices.

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 away anywhere.

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.

FEATURE RAZOR rs . '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. Goob Thirds for .

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. SMcL 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. the east Carolinian , "Let us dere to read . think . speak and write ?C W Editor in-Chief Robert W. McDowell Business Manager Robert B. hobinson III Managing EditorSonny McLawhorn Production Manager Lewis Cutler Features EditorLarry Mulvihill Sports Editor Dave Ittermann SecretaryElaine Harbin Consultant ra Baker 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. Robert W. McDowell Editor 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 reflect the opinions of The East 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. Robe-t W.
