Committee reports favorably
In Tuesday's SGA Legislature
meeting, the Rules Committee
reported favorably on the
motion that was introduced last
week concerning the
abolishment of the Summer
School SGA.
John Schofield, chairman of
the committee, stated that the
Rules Committee members
unanimously felt that the
Summer School SGA should be
abolished. Several of the reasons
given for the removal of the
government were: first, thai it
was impractical to elect a nev?
slate of Summer School officers
to serve only eight weeks,
second, operating on two
seperate budgets was definitely a
handicap; third, if a violation
was committee) in the first week
of summer school, then the case
would be pending until the
executive and legislative offi
were elected in order to appoint
and approve a summer judiciary.
Bill Richardson, Speaker of
the 1968 69 Legislature, said
that in order to build an
effective and effecient SGA, it is
imperative to abolish the
Summer School SGA. Schofield
suggested to the body thai a
matter this important should go
before the students in a
referendum.
The vote was unanimous to
abolish the Summer School SGA
and to have a referendum next
Thursday, August 14.
I t was brought to the
attention of the Legislature thai
there is no Bill of Rights in the
Summer School Constitution
Since the SGA Constitution had
just been revoked there was a
motion to make the Bill of
Rights a statute instead of a
Constitutional amendment. The
motion passed.
A motion was made by
Whitney Hadden stating that a
bylaw be added to the Summer
School Constitution to require
all members of the SGA
Executive Council, SGA
Legislature, all standing
committee chairmaen and
members, editors and business
managers of campus
publications, and Judiciary to
have at the time of election and
maintain during their tenure of
office -i "C" (2.0) average.
Summer school SGA
pi esiden t Roberl Adams
submitted a letter to the body
sying in effect that all such
perosnnel would be removed
from office effective August 5,
1969 The motion was sent to
rules committee for one week.
Money was appropriated to
have all the records of the
Student Fund Accounting Office
put on microfilm.
Tw? new members were
appointed and sworn into office
by Speaker Wayne Eads. They
were Whitney Hadden and Steve

Chimes create
much discussion
Contract signed
By MARY BETH HUNTER
"For whom the bell tolls"
may be the pronouncement
prompted by the chimes that
peal now across the ECU
campus.
At least that's what a certain
professor was reported as
suggesting while distributing
comprehensive exams last
Saturday afternoon. Yet, the
Alma Mater, played at 5 p.m.
perhaps created a feeling of hope
for the students. As one said,
"We can't give up now
A FEELING OF PEACE
More likely, according to a
Greenville minister, the chimes
inspire a feeling of peace and
serenity as they ring for their
trial period from atop ECU'S
new Science Building, located in
the center of the sprawling
campus.
The recently installed
Carillon Bell System is a joint
project of the Senior Class of
1969, the Alumni Association
and the Student Government
Association. There are four tape
decks in the control unit,
although only two are in use at
the present time.
SEASONAL MUSIC
Various tape cartridges are
available, and seasonal music can
be played such as carols at
Christmas and the "Battle Humn
of the Republic" and "America"
on the Fourth of July.
Also on tape are jubilant
peals for victory in athletic
events and the toll bell when a
national figure passes away. For
campus announcements, there is
an input for a microphone.
The chimes can be heard
from the men's and women's
dorms on each end of the
campus. The sound of the
chimes also reaches many homes
and businesses in the peripheral
area.
STUDENT SENTIMENTS
Student sentiments range
from, "I hear they're only
temporary, well they won't stay
long they get on my nerves to,
"They're o.k. when they sound
good to "I like them a lot
Most students questioned feel
that the chimes help complete
the University atmosphere on
the ECU campus.
Teachers have reacted quite
favorably many remember the
ivied-bell towers from their alma
maters. One said, "I think
they're great- really great; I hope
you keep them
According to a professor in
the new Science Building, the
chimes should be housed in a
more appropriate location. They
sound good, but are a little loud.
Yet, "they lend something to the
environment of the University
BELL TOWER
If the chimes system becomes
a permanent part of ECU, future
projects may include the
construction of a bell tower.
Public reaction has been
mostly favorable. Comments
were generally approving except
once when the electricity went
off and caused the chimes to
strike at the wrong times.
A NEW TRADITION
The chimes are controlled
electronically and are set to
strike from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m
every half hour. At present, the
Alma Mater is played twice
daily, at 8 a.m. and at 5 p.m.
The new system is now
installed on a 30 day period for
evaluation by the
administration. So far, official
reaction has been favorable.
The bells that once hung atop
the Old Austin Building have
long been gone. Officials hope
that now the chimes will become
a tradition for ECU.
John Schofield, regular term
SGA President, announced
today that a contract has been
signed with the Raleigh City
Coach Lines amounting to a
total of S39.000.00 for the
transit system which will begin
fall quarter.
Consisting of two buses, the
system will keep the same loutes
and times that were used during
the spring quartet trial transit
system. Schedules will be
printed and will hopefully be
distributed on registration day
according to Ken Bulow who is
Secretary of Transportation.
At the present time,
arrangements are being made to
sell the advertising space on the
inside of the bus. Also, Schofield
aid that he will meet with
merchants from Pitt Plaa next
fall to ask them to subsidize the
buses in order to keep longer
hours of service during the
Christmas shopping days.
Schofield later stated, "We
are one of two schools in the
state that have a transit system
and we are very optimistic
toward the success of it Also,
we will continue to look for a
way to extend the hours of
service of the buses and idfi
more buses to the transil system
in the future
AT THE END of the long session in which, the
details of the contract were worked out SGA
officals pose with John Deton of Raliegh Transit.
Geologists study resources
Where does the conservation
and development of the natural
resources of coastal North
Carolina begin This is a
question posed by tvo
professors-geologists at East
Carolina University.
For them, Drs. Stanley R.
Riggs and Michael P. O'Connor,
it begins with research into the
sedimentary mineral deposits in
the coastal waterways.
ONE YEAR GRANT
Their research has recently
been funded by a one-year grant
of $12,827 from the N.C. Board
of Science and Technology at
Research Triangle.
In particular, their studies are
taking place in the estuaries of
northern Dare County, near
Manteo.
The project is the result of a
preliminary study begun last
summer by Riggs, O'Connor and
a member of the University of
Montana geology department.
SEDIMENT STUDY
Purpose of that study was to
determine the type and
distribution of sediments and
underwater plant life in the
Croatan and Roanoke sounds
Present objectives, Riggs and
O'Connor say, are to complete
the description of ie present
sediment system of the area and
to define and delineate potential
economic resources.
Such knowledge, the
scientists say, is basic and
essential to the future of the
area, in terms of both
conservation and development.
NEW CHANNELS
Examples of programs which,
if ever initiated, would need
such information include the
construction and maintenance of
new channels, harbors and inlets;
construction and modification
of beach and dune systems,
beach erosion, stabilization and
replacement, coastal Ijnd filling;
and development of any
economically feasible mineral
exploration and development.
In their proposal to the Board
of Science and Technology, the
geologists said the "Maximum
and non-endangering utilization
of any natural resource comes
only with a complete and
thorough understanding of its
composition and the processes
and controls producing it. This is
particularly true of the
sedimentary mineral deposits
which occur in coastal areas.
"The coastal region of North
Carolina they said earlier in
the proposal, "which has long
persisted as one of the largest
undeveloped estuanne and
coastal systems in the nation, is
now beginning to show the
effects of increased population
and industry
Development, they noted, is
being actively promoted. So is
conservation and preservation.
They quote a report of the U.S.
House of Representatives
Commission on Marine Science,
Engineering and Resources:
"Improved scientific and
technical knowledge is needed to
reach an optimum balance, and
in the future such knowledge
will be increasingly critical for
evaluating proposals for major
modification in coastal lands and
waters

COUNCILORS LISTEN TO and answer incoming student's questions.
By DAN SUMMERS
When the incoming 2600
freshmen come to ECU next fall,
they will have received a
complete orientation ranging
from a discussion of sex to the
explanation of quality points.
As an o i i e n t a t e e, the
freshmen have a very rigid
schedule beginning with an
introductory meeting Tuesday
night at 8 p.m. Before going
back to the dorm the College
student Questionnaire is
administered and a meeting of
the general college is taken in by
the newcomers.
BRIGHT AND EARLY
Bright and early Wednesday
morning, there is a brief meeting
with the Dean of Men and Dean
of Women. Afterwards, the
freshmen are herded to North
Cafeteria to take the foreign
language placement tests. After
lunch the students have a chance
to meet with the dean of hisher
department major for academic
counseling. Next the difficult
Math 65 by-pass exam is given.
Before going to dinner, the
freshmen attend the first of two
very informal, but informative,
sessions about college life from a
student's point of view. At this
meeting, three student
orientation counselors present
the academic, social, and
extra eurricular activities of the
university life. If so desired, an
opportunity is offered to the
indents who want to attempt
the Math 75 and Math 120
by pass exams.
Later that evening a meeting
entitled "Campus Values" is
held at nine places located on
and off campus. At this informal
session (under the guidance of a
campus minister) the students
choose any topics they want to
talk about and discuss them at
length. A few of the more
interesting discussions have
originated from such topics as
sex, drugs, the draft, and student
unrest. After this session, most
of the weary freshmen girls head
toward Cotten and the boys
toward Jones. However, a few
insist on finding their way
downtown to visit the Buccaneer
or Rathskeller. From the looks
of some of the students the next
day, it is quite evident that they
found the crutch of college
beer.
A FEW INSTRUCTIONS
After a few instructions from
the deans, the results from the
by-pass exams and placement
tests are returned. The freshmen
then report back to Wright
Auditorium for a brief lecture
from the counseling department
on how to study. After a
mid day snack, the second
college life session convenes.
Before leaving ECU, the
students are afforded the chance
to pre register for fall quarter
and take the swimming test.
After a hectic 2V. days, the task
of packing the souveniers and
the long journey home awaits
the "not so lost" ECU students.
Paul Allen, a 1969 graduate
at ECU, is the student
coordinator for the orientation
program. When asked his
opinion of the program, he said,
"Orientation is designed to
impress the student with the
functioning of the academic
community of the University
while not negating the positive
social values of an upper level
education
According to Allen, 12
orientation counselors and three
alternates were selected from a
group of forty students. The
counselors attended a training
session in order to learn
necessary information to pass on
to the freshmen during the two
college life sessions.
This year more than ever, the
students ahve handled more of
the freshmen orientation
responsibilities. In addition to
the two college life sessions, the
counselors attend various
meetings with the freshmen.
Some counselors have visited the
lJ
dorms at night to answer
questions that were not brought
out in the daily sessions.
Several fellow counselors
have expressed their views on
the orientation program. Susan
Durham stated that "the
program is beneficial to the
freshmen and I feel I have gained
much by working with the
students
Another counselor, Sip
Beamon, said that "our
Orientation Program affords the
incoming freshmen the
opportunity to obtain a better
understanding of the University
life at ECU. However, I believe
the best way to adjust to college
MAIN PURPOSE
The main purpose of the
program is to attempt to
acquaint each incoming
freshmen with every facet of the
University environment. To
accomplish the orientation of
the students without dwelling on
rules and regulations is the goal
of the counselors and deans.
In keeping with the theme
"Direction '69" the staff does
not tell the students what or
what not to do, but instead the
leaders present necessary
information that will hopefully
lead the incoming freshmen in
the right direction and will aid
them in adjusting to the life of a
university. At the introductory
meeting, the students are told
that the entire program is
established for their benefit.
Attendance is left to the
discretion of each student.
According to Dean James
Mallory, from past years a large
percentage of the problems of
adjustment were traced to
students who either cut portions
of orientation or who missed the
introductory period altogether.
So far this summer, over 700
parents have accomplished their
sons or daughters to freshmen
orientation. After reading over
the evaluation sheets, the
parents filled out, nearly all of
them complimented our
program. Most of the parents
were rreatly impressed with the
ECU campus and they
appreciated the hard work that
was put forth in the orientation
program.
When Dean Carolyn Fulghum
was asked to comment on the
orientation program she said: "I
think this has been one of our
most successful orientation
programs we've had. Of course,
this being the first one I have
been involved with, I have found
it very beneficial to as an
administrator in working closely
with the students involved in the
program.
Also, in having an
opportunity to talk with the
incoming students and their
parents, the comments I have
received from them have been
complimentary to the program
at East Carolina. I look forward
to working with the student
counselors and other
administrators in working with
the program to make it more
effective next year.
Each week the orientatees
were asked to evaluate the
orientation program. Most
students were irp-ressed with the
"College Life" and "Campus
Values" portion of the schedule.
Another strong point on the
evaluation was that ECU
students headed up most of the
meetings. Nearly every freshman
said that he thought he had
learned his way around campus
during the brief visit here and
maybe he wouldn't get too los'?"
The success of the orientation
program can be attributed to thp
cooperation and hard work oi
the deans and the student
counselors. Of course, the
effectiveness of the program
cannnot be determined until the
incoming freshmen attempt to
apply the bits of wisdom they
received during their short visit
here this summer.

Peace, love enliven festival
By BOB MCDOWELL
Atlantic City Pop Festival: 3
days of hair, freedom, peace and
love.
Parked cars lined the highway
for up to two miles in all
direction leading to the Atlantic
City Raceway. As usual, the
festival was held just outside the
city, away from sanitation
facilities, traffic cops, and the
middle class.
The festival atmosphere
drifted out from raceway stands,
over the parking lots into the
city. As vicesquad officers
would undoubtedly say, the
spirit burned brightest inside the
tents which lined the approaches
to the raceway.
MONTEREY
Since the "pop festival"
began in Monterey over a year
ago, there have been many
attempts to recreate the spirit of
freedom and brotherhood that
the earliest participants in this
phenomenon have experienced.
Many of these attempts have
ended in violence, resulting from
exorbitant prices charged by
promoters, failure of performers
to appear, overly zealous police
reaction to minimal provocation,
and community antagonism to
the festival's participants.

Joni Mitchell couldn't

FIRST REFLECTIONS
The Saturday morning
newspapers reflected in
amazement that 40,000 people
could get together, without
police, and not kill each other.
It must have seemed comic to
many hardcore rock and roll
fans to read the reviews of the
festival tendered by the staid
Middle Atlantic press who
carried their ineptitude into
print with specious descriptions
of "pop" music and pop people.
It was soon evident that there
was something going on here
that Mr. Jones didn't know
anything about but he wished
he did.

began at 1 p.m. with the

among the participants in this
weekend's events. There had
been the usual motorcycle gangs,
the dopers, and the
teeny-boppers. But the festival
was more than that: more than a
freak show.
Seventy-five thousand people
gathered at Atlantic City, and
went away happy and safe.

Tripping?a sport
By DAVE ITTERMAIMN
You rest on the bottom for a
moment and stare at the surface,
imagining the thousands
(millions! billions!) of gallons of
water pressing down on you.
The water is hemming you in,
but at the same time you are
alone on a vast open plain.
Your breath comes in with a
noisy, rattling whoosh, then
stumbles out in liquid bursts.
Your movements are slow and
unsure, your balance is
nonexistent. You're weightless.
Schools of small fish feed off
the rocks and swim unafraid
around your face. The only
? o u n d is your own
respiration purr, gurgle, purr,
gurgle, like a man breathing his
last in a iron lung.
Tripping on acid? Dreaming?
No, you're scuba diving, a
mind-bending sport.
WRECK DIVING
Sunken ships are always a
focal point for the diver's
curiosity, as they quite often
yield interesting souvenirs,
treasure, lobster, or fish. The
coral reef surrounding Bermuda
is perhaps the biggest, up to 600
sunken ships have been lost on
its jagged rocks.
There are even a couple of
sunken cities where you can
swim along a deserted city street
that has been resting on the
ocean floor for some 2,000
years.
Today scuba diving has
become a fast growing activity
enjoyed by one-and-one-half
million Americans alone.
It would be impossible for me
to list all the facets of skin and
scuba diving, but I will name and
explain a few.
"Snorkeling" is the gentle art
of paddling about on the surface
while breathing through a
snorkel tube and viewing the
beauty of a coral reef through a
face mask.
N.C.DIVING TRIPS
"Dives" that would be within
the reach of ECU divers are
Morehead City and Radio Island.
Both of these spots offer a wide
variety of diving. Spear fishing,
shell collecting, underwater
photography, fish collecting and
many others can be done just 85
miles away.
Unfortunately skin and scuba
diving do have their
hangups-money. Skin diving
can be had for around $25, but
scuba diving costs are anywhere
from $150 to $200.
Another snag is getting
proper instruction. Diving is
dangerous if an amateur doesn't
know what he's doing. Ignorance
leads to panic and panic leads to
drowning.
ECU CLUB
ECU fields its own diving
club with enough qualified
members to teach the basics, but
it is hoped that courses will be
taught in the Fall by a certified
instructor.
Tripping? That's one of the
reasons I scuba dive.

Immunity allows
peaceful assembly
Ardent devotees of hard rock gathered this weekend
for the Atlantic City Pop Festival. More than 75,000
freaks and dudes of other sorts assembled at the city's
race track, absorbing the vibrations of such popular rock
musicians as Janis Joplin, Credence Clearwater Revival
and the Jefferson Airplane.
There was some cause for discontent among the
crowd gathered for Atlantic City's biggest event of the
year (Miss America notwithstanding). The mob swelled
until it was impossible for anyone to move in any
direction - except up. During the performances of some
of the best loved musicians, the sound equipment failed.
Admission prices were exorbitant.
But there were no police visible inside the gate. There
were no guns, no clubs, no mace. And there was no
trouble.
It was a stark contrast to the usual fare at the race
track, where the worn-out generation gathers once or
twice a week during racing season. Many of the
participants wager thirty or forty dollars an evening.
Sometimes, there are fights, but more often frustration
takes the form of profanity directed at the losing horses.
The hirsute are accustomed to frustration. For them,
frustration is a daily occurrence.
There were no $10-steaks in the clubhouse this time
- only .40-hot dogs and homemade baloney
sandwiches.
But the real benchmark of this gathering of youth
was the absence of the police. Promoters of the songfest
promised there would be no "hassle" if the authorities
stayed out.
One generation granted temporary immunity to
another. It worked like magic.
SMcL
Vote fo abolish
Chrysalis
The Student Legislature today passed the
Constitutional amendment that abolishes the existence
of a seperate SGA for the summer.
The Legislature, however, refrained from giving final
approval to this plan. John Schofield, who introduced
this motion, suggested that a ly motion of this much
import should be put before the student body for it to
make the final decision.
We agree with Schofield that a decision of this
importance should not be made by the small coterie in
the SGA, but by the student body as a whole.
The referendum will be held sometime next week
and we take this opportunity to encourage the student
body to vote to abolish the summer SGA.
The arguments in favor of doing away with the
summer SGA are many, but the main ones are
continuity and planning.
Regular-term President Schofield pointed out that by
the time the officers were installed and are familiar with
the procedures, office routine, what needs to be done,
etc they have to leave and allow the summer officers to
take over. By the time these officers have covered the
same route they are out of office.
Schofield pointed out that the most useful function
of the summer months is a relatively quiet time in which
a president could plan the implementation of his
programs.
Gary Gasperini, treasurer for the SGA pointed out
some of the budgetary problems involved in the
seperation of the governments. He is not supposed to
sign checks for any organization that has not had a
budget approved by the summer Legislature, yet; bills
fall due at certain times of the month regardless of
whether the Legislature has boted budgets or not.
If budgets for the summer could be voted in the
Spring then things would be ready to go the first day of
summer school and not have to wait until the third or
fourth week.
The same is true of many facets of student
government. The vacuum that exists during those firs,
days can be filled by the continuation of the effective
regular SGA and not by waiting for its weak
brother to take over.

Armed with blue folders and
virginal innocence a group of
orientation students has
descended on our campus for
the last time this summer. You
can spot them every time as they
swarm locust like through the
bookstore buying extra large
sized ECU sweatshirts for the
pleasure of their hometown
homies.
One good fact about these
orientation groups is that it is a
swell time for the bookstore to
unload all that groovy clothing
that even gives the moths
indigestion.

minutes of my 10 a.m. break to

Recently one dime brought
me something that can only be
described poetically: an
astounding atrocity. This drink
of the gods is the result of an
illicit midnight union between
pepsi and coke. It is neither
animal, vegetable or mineral. To
say that it makes you sick is a
rank understatement. In fact to
call the drink rank is an even
bigger understatement.

Considering how large the
draft looms over the lives of
male students at East Carolina it
is disturbing that a school our
size lacks a draft counselor.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not
referring to a draft dodging
service, but a help agency. What
I mean is that this school needs
someone who can serve as a
clearing house for the most
updated information on
deferments and monthly draft
calls.
Since most of us are away
from home, we have little
contact with our local board.
Information comes to us only
from newspapers and by the
time we read it, things have
changed. Time is truly valuable
in this kind of thing.
NOT A G EAT PARTY BUT

weekend in Greenville has buried
itself in failure as I arrived at

ecu forum
To The East Carolina Students:
I look back over the years
spent at East Carolina in both
pride and anxiety. I have seen in
our young campus a vast
potential for growth. I have seen
a diversity in its students, its
socialites, its rebels, its
intellectuals. I have seen
improvement in student
government, in the quality of its
student publications, in its
academic level, in its spirit, in its
Greek and non Greek relations. I
have heard the word "apathy"
and seen students work the word
away. I have seen discontent and
seen problems settled rationally
and quietly.
Seeing all this, what could be
my anxiety? My fear is a
quantative one, not qualitative. I
have seen diversity of students,
but I have seen a small diversity.
I have seen improvement in
groups. I have seen discontent
settled effectively but I have also
seen a high degree of passive
acceptance.
It is then, not to the activists
that I write, for they have
already their involvement. In a
token sense, it is not to the
hardcore socialites that I write,
for they have chosen their
primary importance. It is to the
vast student sector in between
that I leave this criticism, this
pride and this anxiety.
Along with higher education
there must come more than a
degree, there must come an
opinion often fuse without
self-knowledge. The awareness
must show that both authority
and the accepteo ways may have
faults that can be corrected. And
finally, the awareness must show
that no campus, community, or
society is without critics and
that it is each individuals right
and duty to both see, criticize
and work to right the flaws.
Lastly, it is to the East
Carolina students who have this
awareness and who can help
shape the future of their campus
that I issue this sincere
hope- that they do not take their
awareness and their criticisms
quietly to their rooms, an
awareness. The awareness must
show that futures do not always houses'and apartments and let
to be truth, that fact and - . ,
