IBM counts ballots
Ballots for the day student
candidates in Tuesday's SGA
elections were processed by a
computer.
East Carolina is the only
college in the country that has
ever computerized election
results, and is one of few schools
which offer a minor in computer
sciences.
There had been some trouble
when the computer was used in
last summer's elections because
many people marked their
ballots wrong.
But everything went
smoothly Tuesday.
Phil Dixon, the elections
chairman, was hoping the
returns would be completed by
8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
They were, thanks to the
computer.
The ballots were improved
for the election to avoid errors.
Tuesday's ballots must have
all been marked correctly,
because all of the ballots were
tallied.
Because it was a success, the
computer will be used in all
upcoming elections.
The computer is more
accurate. It can also process the
percentage of votes each
candidate received, the number
of ballots cast, and the
numerical vote for each
candidate.
All this takes less time than it
would take to find the numerical
Banjos will play
for Parents' Day
Sept. 27 will be Parents' Day
this year. One of the main
events will be a pops concert on
the mail featuring "Your
Father's Mustache a New York
banjo band.
The combo has five members
who play Gay Nineties music
with a tuba, trombone, piano,
banjo, and washboard.
Joel Schiavone, owner of the
Greenwich Village banjo parlor
where the group performs, says
the nusic may lack technical
proficiency, but that it generates
enthusiasm in the audience.
Mr. Schiavone also says the
group is not professional andthat
most of the musicians "drift in"
the nightspot looking for jobs.
Most are college graduates or
dropouts.
The banjo is the main
instrument used in the group.
Though this instrument was
popular in the 20's, it fell into
disgrace during the depression.
Now it has had a resurgence,
characterized as "footstomping,
beer drinking" music.
The concert is scheduled for
3 p.m. on the University Mall.
Admission is free.
After the concert, the Pirates
will play Louisiana Tech at 7:30
p.m. in Ficklen Stadium. Then
Ginger Thompson will sing at
the Union Dance starting at 9
p.m.
Dan Summers, press secretary
of the SGA, said the Union will
not have an open house for the
public this year.
"Rather than have an open
house that would conflict with
the concert, the union decided
against the idea
Besides the time conflict,
Miss Cynthia Mendenhall said
there was not enough response
from the public last year to
justify having the tea again this
year.
5 ECU students studying
aboard Coast Guard ship
Five East Carolina students
studying biology and geology at
the Manteo Marine Resources
Center boarded the U.S. Coast
Guard ship, the USS Rockaway,
an oceanographic research vessel,
to learn how such a ship
operates.
The ship is bound for
international waters off the
coast of Wilmington, where it
will do research on continental
shelf.
The Coast Guard will do the
actual research and compiling.
The students will assist the
researchers to gain experience
working under realistic
conditions.
The expedition will return to
poit Saturday and will release its
data soon afterward.
vote for any one candidate if the
work were done manually.
The computer used is the
IBM Optical Mark Page Reader
No. 1231N1. It is one of the few
such machines on the East
Coast.
The marked ballots are
stacked in the feeding bin, and
from there, no one has to touch
them.
The computer has an
electrical eye that scans the
entire ballot at once and
electronically tallies the votes.
The tally is then transferred
to a tape wl.ere it is sent through
another computer to tabulate
the percentage of votes.
The information is typed
onto an IBM master information
sheet and is ieady for
publication.
The ballots were tabulated
from each dorm separately and
then as a whole, so that a
candidate who wants to run
again will know where he was
weak.
The man responsible foi all
this is Dr. Milam Johnson,
director of the computer
program at East Carolina.
New plan

East Carolina is getting a new
package this year Spirit,
wrapped in purple and gold
excitement and plans.
Students and coaches with a
"big concern over the lack of
spirit on ECU's campus" have
designed a year round program
to strengthen a lagging school
enthusiasm.
Bob Whitley, one of the
group members, said that "many
students don't even realize that
ECU's colors are purple and
gold
In the future the group would
like to see trash cans and signs
on campus painted in purple and
gold.
Cheerleaders plan a caravan
to the dorms, ending on the mall
with a pep rally before each
home game.
Their first pep rally is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m. today
on the mall.
The group's plans don't stop

to work more closely with
organizations and fraternities.
They plan to meet with the
organizations for a few minutes
to explain the spirit movement
and how each of them can
become involved.
To urge competition between
organizations, a contest is
planned for each home game.
The group with the best sign
would receive a "spirit stick"
until the next home game
Then, at the end of the
season, the group which has
received the spirit stick most
often will be presented a trophy.
Booster buttons have been
ordered for students to wear to
games and activities on campus
The buttons will be sold by the
cheerleaders.
Any profit from the sale of
the buttons will be used for the

The group plans to run a

Better half time shows are
planned for the season and the
group is trying to get a victory
bell.
In the past a Spirit
Committee existed in the SGA,
but was abolished when it
stopped functioning.
The group hopes to
re-establish a spirit committee
which would solicit cooperation
from Greenville merchants.
Whitley said the goal of the
group is that "when this year
ends there will be a marked and
significant difference in school
spirit on this campus
He added that "the group is

"Finn's Rainbow the Senator Billboard Rawkins. This Isn't Love Nancy I �
"FiniaP's Rainbow the
humorous musical fantasy that
has delighted theatre-goers for
years - and more recently,
screen fans with a new movie
starring Petula Clark and Fred
Astaire - will bring its pot of
gold, its leprechaun and its
collection of famous song-hits to
McGinnis Auditorium as the
East Carolina Playhouse opens
its current season, Oct. 22 25.
Following 'Finian's
Rainbow" will be productions of
"A Flea in Her Ear
"Macbeth "The Goodwoman
c Setzuan and "Lion in
Vvinter
"Finian's Rainbow" concerns
an Irishman and his daughter
who steal away a pot of gold
from the leprechauns of their
country and bring it to Rainbow
Valley, in the American state of
Missitucky, which is an idyllic
spot except for one handicap.
The handicap is that Rainbow
Valley and its singing citizens are
afflicted with an old-fashioned
bigot politician, not too deeply
disguised under the name of
Senator Billboard Rawkins.
The whimsical plot revolves
about the magic that is wrought
on the pro-segregations-spirited
Senator by the pot of gold, and
the geniality of the Irishman and
his daughter, plus the
sprightliness of a leprechaun
who also arrives in pursuit of the
stolen pot of gold.
Vicki Summers stars as the
Irish lass who sings the haunting
hit-parade number, "How Are
Things in Glocca Morra?" The
Dart of her father, Finian
McLonergan, will be played by
Mark Ramsey. James Slaughter
will he the leprechaun, and
heard also, since his assignment
includes singing two of the
show's most popular songs,
"Something Sort of Grandish"
and "If I'm Not Near the Girl I
Love, I Love the Girl I'm Near
Jim Longacre will have the
hero's role as the Rainbow
Valley farmer with whom
Sharon McLonergan falls in love,
and with whom she sings the
exuberant and well-known
songs, "Old Devil Moon" and "If
This Isn't Love Nancy
Mellichamp will play his sister,
Susan, a mute who "dances" her
words and falls in love with the
leprecl" jun.
"Finian's Rainbow" has been
particularly praised for the fact
that it combines both
entertainment and some sharp
social commentary. One of the
wonders worked by
McLonergan's pot of gold is the
granting of three wishes.
Season tickets for the
Playhouse season are now
available to the general public at
a fifty percent saving five
productions for five dollars.
They may be purchased at
McGinnis Auditorium, by mail
at Box 2712, Greenville, N.C or
by phone at 758 6390.
The full schedule includes:
"Finian's Rainbow Oct. 22 25;
"A Fleas in Her Ear Dec.
10-13; "Macbeth Feb. 17-21;
"The Good Woman of Setzuan

A news analysis
Duke, UNO spurn fiber plant-Jenkins invites it
By DAVID DALTON
Associate Editor
Dr. Leo Jenkins again is
looking out for the eastern part
of the state. This time he is
trying to get a $100 million
industry to locate here.
Fiber Industries, Inc
originally had planned to build a
new plant on some land in
Orange County adjoining the
primitive forest which both
Duke University and the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill use for research in
ecology. (Chapel Hill is in
Orange County.)
They had filed a request for
reoning with the county
commissioners since theland was
zoned only as a residential area.
Faculty members from Duke
and UNC showed up at the
public hearing to ask the
commissioners not to grant the
rezoning request.
They told the commissioners
that the waste products from the
plant would ruin the ecology in
the primitive forest.
Fiber Industries offered to
install a long pipeline to carry
the wastes away from the forest,
but still the universities
complained.
The county commissioners
postponed a decision to a later
meeting.
Before the meeting, the
president of Fiber Industries
wrote a letter to the
commissioners withdrawing the
rezoning request - apparently
indicating they would not build
the plant in Orange County.
The letter said that Fiber
Industries felt it was necessary
to have "near unanimous"
support from a community
before they would consider
building there.
The company still owns the
large plot of land in Orange
County adjoining the primitive
forest.
They did not give any
indication of what they wouid
do with their land.
The president of the
company said they still planned
to build a new plant somewhere,
and that it could be "anywhere

Jenkins asked the plant to locate

Once again a campus election
has reached its final stages
without the discussion of any
important issues. It is quite
obvious that popularity and
money aie all it takes to run
and win a campaign.
The upsurgenc e o f
"independents" among the
candidates is not indicative of
any radical change in thinking
among the candidates; but
rather, is the acknowledgement
that campus political parties no
longer carry ihe "clout" with
the voters that they once did.
It is too late now to inject
substance into the campaign.
And though an editorialist might
protest against the student
apathy that has allowed such a
state of ,iff,ins to exist, he might
bettei focus his attack on the
candidates who don't run or the
concerned students who won't
force the issues to become Part
of the campaign.
It should be rememberer that
the students - not th
candidates are the winners and
losers of the election. What the
students lose in representation
and voice in their own affairs
cannot be regained until the
next election but by then the
activity fees will have been spent
on entertainment that the
students don't want, the
legislature will have failed, again
to reform itself so that it might
become the student's voiee jn
the affairs of the university, and
another opportunity for a truly
representative "student"
government will have been lost
But the failures of the past -
and the present will play no
part in this election. Perhaps
next year
Until then, may the biggest
banner win1
Chappaquiddic tragedy
clouds Kennedy's future
By MAUREEN SCHUL
Occassionally, an issue of
policy may be so controversial it
may split the sentiments of
liberal Democrats and
conservative Republicans
directly in two. Most recently
the issue that has caused such a
split has not been connected
with domestic or foreign policy,
but rather what the effects of
the Chappaquiddick tragedy
may do to Sen. Edward
Kennedy's future role in
American politics.
It is quite clear that the
attitude of most conservatives
concerning the recent fate of
Sen. Kennedy is quite opposite
that of liberals. In short, the
party of which Sen. Kennedy
does not belong, is transforming
a tragedy in which he wcis
connected into a political drive
to weaken his voice on problems
that need to be examined.
Certain conservative citizens
have seen the injustice of this
condition to the point of being
willing to add to it. Their despair
in seeing this political terms,
rather than personal ones, is
what constitutes then strength.
The sometimes overlooked
point of the matter is that a life
has been lost. Only time and
evidence will prove if blame is to
be placed on someone.
Knowing these things,
should not attempt to take sides
in this matter for political
power, but rather for, and only
for, justice. Let us not, if
have something to say, voice' our
opinions concerning this tragedy
for politics, but rather for ethics.
Days ago. Sen. Kennedy
spoke out on the Vietnam war.
Much discontent was expressed
because of the time and
publicity given him aftei the
tragedy at Chappaquiddick.
Any barrier against him now
would be unjustifiable.
It is too serious a chance to
take just because our political
beliefs differ ftom his.

Artist talks about education
By GINGER MCDEARMON
Staff Reporter
"As for teaching, I feel that a
very large part of what the
learning process involves is
exposure. If the young people
are not exposed to the man who
practices what he preaches, there
are always the 'professional
educators' hanging on.
"Part of the reason for my
teaching is born of my
determination to keep these
people out. Don't get me wrong
about professional
educatorssome of my best
friends are in this group
A.B. Jackson, an artist whose
works are on display in the Art
Department, 3rd floor Rawi,
made this statement on his
personal feelings about the
artist's role as a teacher and as a
human being.
His work uses pen and ink,
brush, charcoal, and mixed
media. Jackson's work has been
called a response to his
environment and shows a
segment of people in figure
studies.
After receiving his Bachelor
of Fine Arts Degree in 1953, and
his master's degree from Yale in
1955, Jackson worked in
advertising for a while and was a
professor of art at Old Dominion
University.
His works have been shown in
regional and national shows over
the country and he has had
one-man shows in Virginia
gallc:es and museums Among
his private collectors are Mrs.
Lyndon B. Johnson and Mrs.
Dean Rusk.
Some of the studies are
particularly exciting and unusual
because of their detail and
minute structure. Others are
colorful and very delicately
defined, or very bold in black
and white.
Along with Jackson's work is
the work of Fay Zetlin, also a
professor at Old Dominion
University.
Having studied under Charles
Sibley, a professor of art at Old
Dominion, and other artists, Fay
Zetlin has won many
outstanding awards, such as the
Norfolk City Arts Festival, Best
in Oils, 1963; the Tidewater
Annuals '58, '59, '60, '63; and
the Mint Museum Purchase
Award, '67. Her works have also
been exhibited extensively in
such galleries as the American
Drawing Annual, Norfolk
Museum; the Virginia Museum
A i t m o b i I e; and the
VVeatherspoon Annual, Art on
Paper, North Carolina. Some of
her private collections are found
THIS PAiNTiNG' ENTITLED "Epilogue was created
by Fay Zetlin and is presented in the Art Exhibit.
at Brown University and Mint
Museum of Art at Charlotte.
Anthony Cacalano, professor
of art at East Carolina, said he
thought it would be significant
to note that A.B Jackson was
probably one of the first black
artists, if not the first black
artist, displayed at East Carolina.
He said that Jackson thought of
himself as a draftsman instead of
an artist.
About Miss Zetlin, Cacalano
said she could be consirleied a
20th Century religious painter.
He commented that she once
made a reference to the circle in
her works as symbolizing God -
a continuum with no beginning
or end.
A.B. Jackson and Fay Zetlin
have given the campus a very
stimulating exhibit. The exhibit
ends Sept. 30.

Pirate defenders
enjoy challenge
Parents night foe
is Louisana Tech
You might think that East
Carolina's defense shudders at
the thought of playing Louisiana
Tech and Terry Bradshaw
Saturday night in their home
opener but that's not the case at
all.
"Actually our defensive team
is looking forward to the
challenge says Bob Gantt,
defensive chief of the Pirates.
"It's like getting a shot at the
heavyweight championship if
you arc a boxer. It's the kind of
opportunity all good athletes
look for and I feel they will do a
good job
The Pirate defenders, many
of them veterans from last year,
played a good game last week
against East Tennessee, but the
competition will be stiffer this
time.
"I've been quiet pleased with
the progress of the defensive
interior said Coach Henry
Vansant after Wednesday's
practice. "The front five played
well against East Tennessee and
on five occasions got to their
passer
Drawing praise from Vansant
were two seniors, George
Wheeler and Jamie Louis and
juniors Walter Adams and Jim
Gudger.
Capt. Roger Bost, who plays
end on the five-man front, twice
got to the East Tennessee passer.
"When people think of pass
defense they usually think of it
only in terms of the secondary
says Gantt, "but a good pass
defense has to involve the entire
defensive team.
"The responsibility just
doesn't belong to the backs.
Everybody is in on it. Although
Bradshaw is a great passer, he
isn't the only important factor
in their passing game. He has
three outstanding receivers and
the challenge of the halfbacks is
to cover the receivers.
"But the linemen are looking
forward to seeing if they can get
to Bradshaw. That's certainly a
prime consideration on pass
defense
A study of last year's game
films shows that the defense
actually played a good game for
a half.
"If we are able to get to the
passer with a good rush it will
make receiver coverage Gantt
explained of the hopes that the
front line can harass Bradshaw
consistently.
"We realize they will be
better at giving protection to

their passer than East Tennessee
was because that is their

constantly. But we were pleased
with our pass defense at East
Tennessee. We feel like with a
good constant effort we can get
to this guy some
The Pirate coach said one
thing he has been steadily telling
the defenders that they must
expect to have Bradshaw
connect and the defense in turn
must do something to offset
these completions.
"We have to set him back
with some losses to counteract
his strikes Gantt said. "It will
be absolutely necessary to
intercept some. Actually, the
only way to stop a pass offense
is on takeovers and throwing
him for a loss. One thing for
certain, you can't count on him
missing three straight on you.
You have to hope to intercept
him or throw him for a loss
Since this is Louisiana Tech's
opening game, the Pirates
haven't had a chance to scout
them and Gantt figures they
may have added a few wrinkles.
"They might have come up
with a good running game since
last year to go with Bradshaw's
passing Bantt says. "We have

East Carolina's Pirates open
their home football season
Saturday night in Ficklen
Stadium at 8 p.m.
It will be Parents Night.
The foe will be Louisiana
State University, a team which
features the nations's passing
and total offense leader last
season. Terry Bradshaw, a senior
who figures to the the No. 1 pro
draft choice in the winter,
completed 176 passes of 339
attempts for 2.890 yards and 22
touchdowns. Besides earning for
himself the 1969 national
championships in passing and

total offense, he helped his team
to the same honors.
To complement the
golden-armed Bradshaw, the
Bulldogs will bring along
Tommy Spinks, a high school
teammate of the Tech passer,
who owns the Gulf States
Conference all-time record for
receptions.
Bradshaw paced the Bulldogs
to a 9-2 record last season,
including a 35 7 win over East
Carolina and victory in the
Grantland Rice Bowl, 33-13 over
favored Akron.
"Bradshaw is an outstanding
passer says Coach Clarence
Stasavich of the Pirates. "He's
probably the best in the
country, from what we hear
Although the Bulldogs aren't
noted for their running game,
they have some fine backs to
keep the defense honest.
Fullback Buster Herren is
considered all-conference
material this year as are split end
Spinks, who has cuaght 136
passes during his career for
1,968 yards and tight end Larry
Brewer, who has 44 receptions
for 434 yards.
All told, there are 32
lettermen returning on the
Louisiana Tech roster and 11 of
them were starters last season.

An air raid
East Carolina University's
football team will open its 1969
home season Saturday night
against Terry Bradshaw, oops,
Louisiana Tech.
Well, when football fans hear
the name Louisiana Tech,
All-America quarterback Terry
Bradshaw is usually the first
thing they think of. Or maybe
they think of the Blond Bomber,
The Riflemean, or Terrific Terry
because he is all the same
son.
Bradshaw has been called the
nation's number one
quarterback by his coaches at
Louisiana Tech and not because
they are prejudice but because
he is the nation's number 1
quarterback according to several
pro scouts, including Gil Brandt,
the chief talent scout for the
Dallas Cowboys of the National
Football League.
First win?
The Pirates will be out
looking for their first win of the
young season after dropping the
opener last weekend to East
Tennessee. Louisiana Tech will
also be looking for their first
victory, this being their opening
game.
And if Bradshaw performs
like he finished the 1968 season
the Pirates will have their hands
full. Some people call him a big
man, not because he stands 6-2
and weighs 215, but because his
records prove he is the big man
in Louisiana Tech's offense.
Perhaps a game that aii Tech
fans will remember happened in
Murfreesboro, Tenn. against the
University of Akron in the
Grantland Rice Bowl on a cold,
cold day last December. Despite
sub-freezing temperatures,
whirling snow and 25-mile an
hour winds, Bradshaw looked
like a pro, just like he did all last
season.
"Mr. Everything"
He led his Bulldogs tc a 33-13
vicotry over Akron with 19
completions in 33 tries for 261
yards and two touchdowns.
When he couldn't find a receiver,
"Mr. Everything" for Louisiana
Tech transformed himself into
O.J. Simpson and ran and ran
and ran. He scored two
touchdowns himself.
Even that performance was
not his best of the season. He
was like that game if not better.
The last regular season game
against New Mexico State (when
ihe Bulldogs came up with a
42-24 victory), he threw for 445
yards, four touchdowns and led
the Bulldogs to 588 yards total
offense.
Set records
Playing in this fashion, he set
Louisiana Tech football records
at a furious pace, not to mention
that he and his teammates set 25
Gulf States Conference records
during the season.
This probably doesn't impress
anyone who is not a Gulf States
Conference follower, but from a
national wipvAnnint ho rvrocontH

Louisiana Tech with the national
championship in both total
offense and passing with 176
completions in 339 attempts for
2,980 yards and 22 touchdowns.
With his performance, the
American Football Coaches
Association duly rewarded him
by naming him first team
All-America. He was also
honored several times by the
Gulf States Conference.
Gets awards
He was named the
Outstanding Back in the league,
he was selected the Most
Valuable Player by his
teammates last fall and was
recently named the Conference's
Athlete of the Year.
Even that performance was
not his best of the season. He
was like that game after game, if
not better.
He set 15 individual records
at Louisiana Tech last year.
LOUISIANA TECH'S TERRY BRADSHAW

A game-by-game record of his
performances last season would

yaruS passing.
Against the Pirates last fall he
played only half the game but
still completed eight of 15 passes
for 105 yards. Then, against
McNeese State he connected on
20 of 38 aerials for 319 yards
and three touchdowns, but the
Bulldogs lost 27-20.
At Southwestern Louisiana
the Bulldogs lost 28 24 but
Bradshaw was unbelievable. He
put the ball in the air 47 times
and his teammates pulled in 28
of those for 432 yards and three
touchdown passes. He also
rushed for 38 yards for a total
offense game of 470 yards.
Statistics fail to tell the
complete story of Bradshaw's

By SONNY McLAWHORN
Editor's Note: Mclawhorn has
served the Democratic Party as a
Congressional intern for two
summers and as a staff member
for Orville Freeman. He worked
for the Democratic National
Committee and was elected
chairman of a Greenville
precinct at the age of 20.
It's about time somebody
admitted that all is not well with
the Democratic Party in North
Carolina.
State party chairman James V.
Johnson, in a recent speech to
the Mecklenburg County
Democratic Men's Club, said the
party has "effectively and
systematically shut out the voice
of dissent
Johnson is right. The state
organization serves the pleasure
of the governor (who has, for
some 70 years, been a
Democrat). Whenever one
faction of the party controls the
organization, every other group
is cut out of the action.
Governor Bob Scott has
planned to name a special
committe to study the ailments
of his party in North Carolina. It
will have the mandate to
recommend change in the party
organization.
"Some of us have outlived our
usefulness Johnson declared.
Some of them have, indeed, but
not those who recognize the
need for a more energetic
Democratic Party.
Most of the precincts and
counties in this state are
controlled by those who have
little interest in a more viable
party structure. They are
content to maintain their own
fortress the local party - as it
is.
The men who are useless to this
party gained their prestigious
positions because there is apathy
among the rank and-file.
The Democratic Party in this
state is filled with intelligent,
forward-looking people. They
understand the candidates and
the issues state, national and
international. But they don't
understand that they can
drastically alter the party merely
by showing up at the precinct
meeting at the fire station down
the block. Maybe the new
committee will point this out.
No one else has.
A film festival at East
Carolina University? With films
done by ECU students? It will
never happen.
At least, a year ago it would
never have happened. But now it
is not only possible, but in the
planning stages. The Fine Arts
Committee is making it possible,
and if the money can be
obtained, there will be a film
festival during spring quarter this
year.
The Fine Arts Committee is a
group of students with fine arts
majors who got together last
year to try to improve the
cultural level of East Carolina.
Of course the students have the
popular films, the concerts, the
lecture series and the artists
series, but the student is not
really involved in any of these
events.
The committee represents
students from the drama, music,
and art departments. The art
students make up the bulk of
the membership. Because of this,
most of the programs are
oriented toward art. Besides, the

Congressional Committee
Report, 1863
Our modern day super-patriot
has finally found what he thinks
is his ideal habitat,
love it or-leave-it country. It
provides a situation in which the
anti-dissenter can at last be
satisfied, while in the mean time
denying others the
constitutional rights he has so
loudly proclaimed.
As an elitist would, the
super-patriot seeks to perpetuate
the status quo for his own
benefit. He receives a larger
amount of the profits as a result
of economic exploitation, better
jobs and opportunities from a
racist system, and more profits
for his country from its
sometimes imperialistic
worldwide maneuvers.
Although the super patriot is
satisfied from his own
viewpoint, he must realize that
many of the systems from which
his profits and satisfaction flow
c ontradict the written
Philosophy of this country.
The super patriot has become
so satisfied as the system works
to fill his own materialistic
needs that he blocks all attempts
of constructive criticism.
A feeling of social superiority
arises from the fact that the
By BEN CURRENCE
United States is better,
comparatively speaking, than
many other countries at the
present. However, as the
super patriot will agree, this does
not mean that the United States
has reached a Utopian state.
History tells us that despite
those who were satisfied during
the American Revolution, there
were those who strove to make
this country a better place in
which to live.
Super patriot refuses to
believe that there are now those
who love their country enough
to try to change it for the better.
To him, anyone striving for a
change cannot love his country,
but must be either an anarchist,
a communist, or just plain
mixed-up.
It must be funny to the
demonstrators of the Civil
Rights era, the Freedom Riders,
the Grant Park "delegation" to

Convention, free speech

both have their own programs
for public consumption.
The FAC envisions a very
ambit'ous program for the
coming year. Whether the entire
program actually materializes
will depend on the amount of
money that the committee can
get, both from the SGA, who
recognizes them as a campus
group, and from the members.
Another factor involved is the
number of members the
committee has. Many freshmen
members attended the first
meeting, but many of the older
members of the art department
have not shown an interest in
the committee. And their
non-involvement is justified, for
the committee last year did
nothing that they could see and
get interested in. But this year it
is different.
A chalk-in between Rawl and
Wright will serve next week to
draw attention to the group, and
may help in the membership
drive.
The program for this year
includes an art show and sell, an
art contest with mone prizes, a
festival to revive old films, and
finally, their most laudatory
idea, a fiim festival.
The film festival is to be the
event that should get the most
attention from the students.
Like the art show, it will be
open to anyone, including
persons not in the fine arts
departments. For those who
make and enter a film, there will
be the possibility of winning a
substantial first or second prize.
The showing of the entries will
be open to the public also, and
should draw attention from the
entire state. Students will travel
from all over the state to see the
films, just as they did for the
Louisberg Film Festival last
week and again this week.
The Fine Arts Committee
promises to bring to East
Carolina some of the culture
that is conspicuously lacking,
and has been for many years. If
this institution expects to
become a university in fact as
well as in name, it must pay
more attention to the cultural
aspect of the community. ECU
is expected to be a cultural
leader, and support for the Fine
Arts Committee will help
accomplish this goal.
I have often written about
the role of the university and the
role of the student in the
university system. My comments
have been aimed at getting the
"common" student involved in
some small way in the life of the
university. Any contribution,
even one so minute as reyular
class attendance or good grades,
will suffice. But for those
students who are not satisfied
with the minimum performance,
there will always be ways of
expending their extra energy.
The FAC is an excellent way of
aiding the academic community
and takes very little time.
Students who are interested in
joining or in getting more
information about the
committee should attend the
meetings on Mondays at 7:30
p.m. in room 302, Rawl
Building.

Draft reduction �
a whitewash job?
President Nixon moved in the right direction last
week by reducing draft calls and planning a shift toward
a fairer selection system that will reduce the period of
draft eligibility for most young men. The present day
draft has become a blight on the lives of American
young people and revision of the system is essential.
The Democratic Congressional leaders replied to
Nixon's proposal with a callous reply that
business-as-usual probably will keep them from getting
to long-term draft reform this session.
Nixon's actions, welcome as they are, do not get to
the heart of the matter. For one thing, canceling the
planned call for 50,000 men in November and
December will mean that only5,600 men fewer than last
year will have been drafted in 1969. Without the
announced cancellations, therefore, the Nixon
Administration would have drafted in its first year of
waging the war 44,000 men more than the Johnson
Administration in its last.
Thus, we feel that this is another attempt by the
Nixon administration to pull the wool over the eyes of
the American populace.
This is becoming a pattern in the Nixon
Administration's life. In dealing with the war, the cities,
the races, or the inflation, Nixon is making small
concessions to deal with vast problems, and the more
concessions he makes the more he is asked to make.
His troop withdrawals, far from satisfying the
opposition, have merely raised the cries of the families
whose men are left on the battlefield.
And now the opposition is growing firmer in its
demands. Millions of college students throughout the
United States have been planning a massive peaceful
demonstration in their college towns on Oct. 15, calling
for an immediate end to the war in Vietnam.
Leaders of the demonstration say that Nixon's
announcement does not alter their plans. One of the
students called Nixon's plans a "cynical and calculated
attempt to fool the public
And now sources close to the President say that
Nixon will make no further concessions until the enemy
shows some "favorable response
So, the question is and will remain, whether Nixon
wants primarily to end the war; or whether he insists on
pursuing it at heartbreaking cost in dubious hope of
achieving some political end not yet possible.
The President wants to reduce the cost of the war,
cut the casualties and the draft and reduce the
opposition so that he can gain more time to fight and
negotiate. His opposition challenges his premise and
wants not limited casualties or limited draft calls but no
casualties and no draft calland above all, no war.

Dear Editor:
Closed study, a bug affecting
freshman dormitory students,
has no cure on file in the
infirmary. Nor is it a social
guidance problem relieved by a
visit to the dormitory counselr
and a tranquilizer. To the
freshman girl it is an incurrable
disease.
The only logic to be found
concerning the cause of the
disease supports the general
thought hat the average
freshman dormitory students is
an immature, flighty,
non-studious, nieve sex-pot. And
for some miraculous reason she
is cured of all these ills in 12
weeks. Assuming that this is
true sincf those who believe so
are at least 20 years older and
two degrees farther, the
argument shall refute the
methods of cure.
CJosed study is a relaxing time;
with doors slamming and
windows rattling. It is a very
studious time; studying the
latest rock music and love letters
communally. One learns so
many things during closed
study; like the Morse code being
tapped from wall to wall, and
why not to draw to an inside
straight. Closed study is so
effective; that is why so many
girls sleep during closed study
and study after closing hours.
Besides closed study is so
conducive to regular study
habits; Monday night the library

the CU did they?), Tuesday
