ECU students receive
faculty senate vote
By DAN SUMMERS
During the last meeting of the
Faculty Senate on May 20,
membership and voting rights
were granted to students who
will sit on Faculty Senate
committees.
A few of the guidelines set
forth for the student
membership are voting rights,
student alternate, and SGA
authorizes the selection of
students.
The Faculty-Senate, headed
by Dr. Charles Price, set up a
Committee on Committees to
study the possibility of having
student membership to the
academic committees of the
Senate at East Carolina. The
committee reported that
student membership on
academic committees is an issue
that is currently being
considered by many universities
across the nation
A questionnaire was sent to
85 institutions of higher learning
in order to determine their
policies regarding student
membership on academic
committees. The results from
the returned questionnaires
showed that over three-fourths
of the institutions had a policy
that provided for student
membership on some academic
committee. Also, an open
hearing was conducted to sample
the local feeling of student
membership.
Two vacancies are available
on each of the following
committees: Curriculum,
Library, Teacher Education and
Career. The remaining
committees have one vacancy:
Calendar, Admission, Credits,
Continuing Education, Student
Guidance, Vocational
Education, Student
Recruitment, ?nd Student
Scholarship, Fellowship, and
Financial Aid.
John Schofield, SGA
President for next year, said,
"Since the Faculty-Senate
initiated the idea of student
representation on academic
committees speaks well for the
academic climate here. The great
degree the administration works
together instead of working
apart is indicative of such an
atmosphere
The President of the SGA will
appoint the students to serve on
the committees and then submit
their names to the SGA
Legislature for approval.

Motion foils
By DAN SUMMERS
At the last meeting of the
Summer School Legislature, the
Rules Committee reported
unfavorably on a motion that
was submitted at the last
meeting by Whitney Hadden.
The motion stated that all
persons holding the following
positions at East Carolina
University shall have at the time
of their election or appointment
a minimum academic average of
2.0, and shall maintain such
throughout their tenure of
and all student judicial members.
The committee ruled that the
motion was an unconstitution?!
grant of power and was ex post
facto. Since the motion received
an unfavorable report, it was
killed in the rules committee.
Also, in the meeting $200.00
was appropriated in order to
have a Summer School SGA

This has certainly been a
hectic week high atop the
Student Union. As everyone
readily realizes, without an
efficient Student Government
Association, the wheels of Pitt
County could not turn. There
are many times in the life of a
college student when reality
seems absurd. I believe that this
time in my life is now in passing.
It is assumed by "people in
power" that when young men
and women enter college they
are not only able to think for
to
discriminate between the good
and bad.
While looking over most of
the action both physical and
metaphysical that has been
going on at this University, I
find myself amazed. It seems
that every day either someone
has something so profound to
say or someone has blossoming
ideas that couldn't possibly be
real: ATTENTION STUDENTS,
THIS IS NOT AN
IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE.
There are many of the major
universities in the United States
on the quarter system. It seems
that East Carolina University has
a misconception of this entire
idea. The quarter system was
introduced not only to have
shorter school periods more
often during the year, but so

that people might come to
school during the summer and
take one or the other parts of

Here in Greenville, there is an
amazing lack of academic
participation duung the summer.
This is probably due to a
traditional ethnocentric ideal of
having to take a vacation during
the summer months. People may
be in school here physically, but
in essence, they are really taking
this summer vacation. Summer
school is long forgotten.
This is probably my final
opportunity to communicate
with the students during the
summer session. It has certainly
been a great pleasure to be able
to work with the Student
Government Association. There
are certainly many highly
qualified people within this
organization, and I certainly
hope that the Student
Government maintains this high
standard by requiring anyone
working in any position to have
a minimum grade point average
of 2.0.
During the summer, I have
had the full cooperation of both
the administration and the staff,
and I am sure that this type of
peaceful co existance is
necessary. It is the general
opinion of the student body that
the summer school Student
Government Association really
hasn't that much to do, and this
is true, but the things that had
to be done were done; and in
reality, this is what counts.
I certainly hope that my

Chrysalis
By JAMIE HILDEBRANDT
Summer school here at East
Caroiina must be one of the
most exciting times ever
experienced. With summer here
the days are longer giving us all
more time to do absolutely
nothing.
The morning starts with the
ringing of the alarm telling us
that we have about one hour
before class. Classes are not at all
that bad, for they break the
continuous boredom that reigns
over this campus in the summer.
If one is lucky he has all his
classes in a row so that he does
not have an hour to do nothing
with. If you are not one of the
lucky ones there is always the
CU where one can watch all the
others who are in the same
predicament of having an hour
to play with. Now on extra
special days one may have the
treat of observing the
orientation groups. This is
always good for wasting an hour
and sometimes more.
The problem now arises as to
what to do when your classes are
through. This is the perfect time
to go home and get all that
homework finished so the night
will be free. However, if you are
like the majority you will return
to the CU, go downtown, or
home to go to sleep, hoping you
don't wake up before the sun

good ways to waste away the
dark hours, but unfortunately
they cost money. A good and

going to the "free flick but

Many girls on this campus live
in the dorm. For those who just
go to the Buc or to Lum's the
idea of returning to the dorm at
the curfew isn't quite so bad, at
least you will have someplace to
go. Now for those who have a
definite place to go and with a
definite person the curfew can
really be a hassle, but that can
be taken care of by just not
signing out but just hope there is
no room check.

Songfest wins
student favor
By VALERIE HODGES
Local student talent
performed Monday night at the
Folk Fest sponsored by the
Union Committee. Candlelight
and smoke filled the room while
the audience was entertained by
a wide range of styles.
The majority of the
performers were soloists
accompanying themselves on
guitars. The songs varied from
original compositions to
Donavon instumentals like
"Tangerine Public "Rompin'
Rovin' Days "Song for Sally
"Reason to Believe" and
"Cocaine Blues" turned the
audience on.
Woody Thurman's group
offered such favorites as "This
Train "Salty Dog" and
"Lighthouse Blues" strictly
Blue Grass style. Another group,
aptly named the Pattern of
Change, produced a strange
sound using a combination of
piano, recorder and female
vocalist.
The only duet that performed
Monday night turned into a
comedy act. Their harmony was
strong but
discordant.

The evening really started
swinging at 9:30 p.m. with the
music of Dick Webb, better
known as Spider. His set began
with "Custard Pie an original
entitled "Ninety-Nine Miles an
Hour" and ended with a
harmonica selection.
The entire evening was rated
as "great" and "enjoyable" by
those who attended. Spirits were
slightly dampened, however, by
the presence of one of the
Campus Police seated in the
back of the room. Perhaps he
simply enjoys folk music.

GEE MOM
The last orientation class on
campus, as all the ones before,
have produced se.eral humorous
encounters as incoming
freshmen encountered the
upperclassmen for the first time.
I stumbled across two male
freshmen as they wandered
through downtown Greenville.
They asked me if I could direct
them to Hardees. I told them,
but I couldn't resist asking them
why they wanted to go there. It
seems that some fun loving
upperclassman had told them
that Hardees was the place to
pick up college girls. The last I
saw of these two disoriented
freshmen, they were heading in a
southeasterly direction at a great
rate of speed looking for the
earthly domain of the heavenly
ECU coed.

Liberals fail to
convince Congress
This week's Senate approval of the controversial
ABM system is a perfect indicator of the failure of
America's "peaceniks" to halt the raging monster of
American militarism.
Liberals are prolific letter-writers. They find
ideological companionship among the news media,
especially the electronic media. For most of this decade,
they have been successful in their attempts to influence
policy - except in exerting pressure on the Congress and
the Pentagon in defense matters.
Congress continues to write a blank check for
military expenditure. And the euphemism used to
defend the ABM is applicable here: "It is better to err
on the side of sefety
The United States, is of course, a "status quo" nation
in every regard. This tradition is probably the most
reasonable explanation; it is the governor of Congress.
It is not unreasonable for the layman to expect
agreement among experts on the ABM question. After
all, the recent successes of technology have lulled us
into a euphoric state of blind faith. Considering the
pressure the military-industrial complex (it is indeed a
"complex") wielded in this instance, it is a wonder the
vote - or the division on ABM's feasibility - was even
close.
Dialectic reasoning proffers a reaction of the
Congress against the headache-makers - the frustrated,
ever-pushing liberal citizens.
Opponents of the military mentality must react
against the reactionaires.
Keep those cards and letters coming.
Kennedy dilemma

SMcL
Adminstration
The summer is about to come to an end and with it
the administration of Bob "Mad-dog" Adams. What has
the Adams' presidency meant to the school?
Adams' term of office could best be termed tranquil.
There have been no major developments and no major
crises. The character and composition of summer school
are as much to blame for this as anything.
To ask someone as intelligent and as dynamic as
Adams to be president of summer school is like having
asked General Rommel to command garrison forces in
Dusseldorf and expecting him to win brillant battles.
With the lack of time for planning and
implementation, it is incredible that Adams was able to
accomplish anything in the line of semi-permanent
changes on campus. Getting the Soda Shop open at 7:30
must be regarded as amajor feat.

The very nature of a three-month term of office is

Constitution vote crucial
The "East Carolinian" is hesitant to say anymore
about the importance of repealing the summer school
SGA constitution, but we feel that this is the major
forward-looking proposal to be proposed this year.
We are happy that both Bob Adams, summer SGA
president, and Wayne Eads, speaker of the summer
Legislature, have gone on record as being in favor of this
proposal.
The "East Carolinian" would like to say now that it
is your duty to vote and we hope to see you at the polls.
By SONNY McLAWHORN
How does Ted Kennedy's
personal dilemma affect the
future of the Democratic Party?
This question is on the minds
of many political speculators.
Some of the party professionals
have already written Kennedy
off as a potential presidential
candidate. The Kennedy
admirers, however, hope for the
senator's entry in the 1972 race,
despite disclaimers on his part.
Certainly Ed Muskie is
already a strong contender for
the next nomination. Muskie,
although widely respected in
Washington for several years, did
not become a national figure
until his selection as Hubert
Humphrey's running mate in
1968.
MUSKIE'S STYLE
Muskie has a charisma which
is difficult to resist. He shuns
power in its most primitive
form, a refreshing change from
President Johnson's style. Like
Kennedy, he has earned the
respect of his colleagues in the
Senate. Humphrey's choice of
Muskie as running mate was
considered by many to be the
former vice president's finest
hour of the campaign.
Although Muskie's stance on
national issues is predominately
liberal, he would probably
outshine Kennedy or any other
major contender in the southern
region of the United States.
Muskie's visceral style and his
Lincolnesque image would
indeed serve him well
throughout the nation - even
among some former Wallace
supporters, who felt that the
former Alabama governor was
the only candidate who
expressed his own personal
convictions.
WILL HUMPHREY RUN?
Humphrey's last-minute surge
in the 1968 campaign has earned
him serious consideration as a
candidate in 1972. Eugene
McCarthy's announcement that
he would not seek his Minnesota
senate seat in 1970 grants
Humphrey a potential power
base from which to seek the
presidency. After four years of
Nixon, Humphrey Democrats
think the nation will have
forgotten its vendetta against
Johnson - and with it, much of
the dislike for Humphrey. It is
true that Humphrey's eloquence
earned him the dubious honor of
speaking up for the war in
Vietnam. If he were to seek the
nomination again, he could
certainly assume another vantage
point.
The mysterious Senator
McCarthy appears to have given
up the ghost. His refusal to seek
power in the party (considered
by many of his supporters to be
a virtue) is certainly a
death-blow in the presence of a
Kennedy or Muskie. McCarthy's
most enthusiastic followers will
undoubtedly attempt to build a
base of power for their leader.
But it is doubtful that the
dissidents have yet learned that
much about precinct and county
organization. At any rate, the
entrenchment of party "pros" is
invincible

A DARKHORSE?
Insiders feel party chairman
Fred Harris has ambitions for
the presidency. The Oklahoma
senator took the reigns of a
battleweary Democratic Party
in February and has done a
creditable job of spearheading ,ts
reconstruction. Hams is young
and he is vigorous. Since the
midwest and the southwest, with
the exception of Tev�, have
failed to deliver Democratic
votes during the past 20 years,
Harris might be a logical choice
for running mate on any ticket.
North Carolina's Terry
Sanford continues to command
the respect of national
Democrats. He was a leading
contender for the vice
presidential spot on the
Humphrey, but unlike Harris,
who vigorously campaigned for
party chairmanship, Sanford has

give two caws and a tweet-tweet
about a bunch of bird-watchers
trying to keep an island near
Wilmington from faJiiru, t0 the
tender mercies of a land
developer? Although the surfing
crowd would sometimes be

public land and are reached by
public roads. There are still

where the road is boarderd with
"No Stopping "No
Trespassing and "Private -
Keep Out" signs. Haven t you
