Young Reps.
leave state
organization
The East Carolina Young
Republican's Cub voted to
pull out of the North Carolina
College Republican's
Organization in their
organizational meeting
Tuesday.
The pullout would become
effective next April before the
conventions begins.
Reasons given for the
pullout were "usurpation of
important committee posts by
N.C. State, Duke, and UNC-CH
members; block voting by
these members; and extremist
idiologies emanating from the
Carolina State-Duke faction
according to YRC
vice-president Robert Griffin.
Griffin made plans, for the
club, to join the Young
Repuolican Federation which
"seems to have more support
among North Carolina's leading
republicans
A resolution by the
ECU YRC to support the Nov.
14 15 Vietnam march and
moratorium was voted down.
According to John Dixon,
President of the YRC, the
future plans of the club will be
to "create a broader base of

meet to formulate plans for
"the project to mobilize the
silent majority
On Octobei 20, a position
statement was released. This
statement was reprinted in the
Greenville Daily Reflector in a
full page paid ad on October
31.
The detailed statement
expressed the project's aims in
all areas of school
administration as well as in the
areas of student and parental
envolvement.
The protect feels that,
'human relations represents
one of the fundamental pillars
of quality education
as well as
one of the keys to the survival
and success of the educational
system
Throughout the statement
there is a constant emphasis on
an aim adopted by the project
called "fairness, flexibility and
firmness" in relation to
administrative policy.
This aim suggests that,
"fairness, in the policy, may
not cause everyone to
completely agree, but it will
deny good reason to those who
would arbitrarily disagree.
"Flexibility attunes the
policy to change Firmness
suggests a positive commitment
to a direction, and the
adherence to a standard the
ad said.
How can the citizens help
with solving these problems'
All concerned citizens or
students are urged to express
their opinions by writing: Our

Panther leader gets
4-year sentence
By F. RICHARD CICCONE
Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) Judge
Julius J. Hoffman has
sentenced Black Panther leader
Bobby G. Seale to four years in
prison for contempt of court
during the trial of eight men on
conspiracy charges.
A mistrial was declared in
the case of Seale, but the trial
of the other seven men accused
of conspiring to cross state
lines and disrupt the 1968
Democratic National
Convention by inciting riots
moved into its seventh week.
Judge Hoffman acted
Wednesday after a long series
of outbursts by Seale which at
one point prompted the judge
to have the defendant brought
in bound and gagged.
In San Francisco, Seale's
attorney said he will appeal the
black militant's sentence to
"the highest court
Attorney Charles Garry,
convalescing from a gall
bladder operation, told
reporters the remarks leading
to the contempt of court
citation were made "in
desperation
The conflict between Seale
and Judge Hoffman revolved
about Seale's contention that
William M. Kunstler,
representing other defendants,
was his lawyer and that he had
the right to defend himself.
Judge Hoffman cited 16
specific instances where Seale
interrupted proceedings and
sentenced him to three months
in prison for each incident. He
also set April 23 for Seale's
trial on the riot conspiracy
rharne.
? ? ?
Seale, 32, was bound and
gagged Oct. 29 after his
repeated outbursts. He was
carried into the U.S. District
Court in that fashion Oct. 30
and 31 but Judge Hoffman,
without explanation, rescinded
the order Monday.
When Seale attempted to
question a California sheriff's
deputy Wednesday, Judge
Hoffman adjourned the trial
for three hours and returned
with his contempt and mistrial
rulings.
Seale was the only one of
the eight defendants not free
on bond. He has been held
each night in the Cook County
jail on a fugitive warrant from
New Have, Conn, where he is
charged in the murder of a
Panther party member.

They earlier had forecast
that as many as 500,000
persons would take part in the
massive protest.
Two weeks of negotiations
between the government and
New Mobilization
representatives broke off
Monday because of a
stalemeate over the planner!
mass march finale.
But Ron Young, co director
of the project, suggested the
department's refusal to allow a
massive demonstration is a
"delaying tactic" designed to
make it "much more difficult
for us to do all the necessary
planning and coordination for
the event
In rejecting the permit, the
Justice Department said it
b a lanced ' t h e First

protestors to "hold a hopefully

The homecoming theme of
"Disneyland A Tribute to
Walt Disney" promises to be
more colorful and animated
than any of the past themes.
It was selected from among
eight others last spring by the
Special Events Committee,
headed by Chairman Kati
Howe.
During the first week of the
fall quarter, letters were sent
out to the different
organizations explaining the
theme and offering suggestions
for house and float
decorations. A deadline for
submitting decoration themes
was given so that there would
be no repetition.
Dan Summers, chief parade
marshall, said that this year's
parade will have about 19
floats, "which is the most
we've evei had
The float themes include
Dumbo, F i o n 11 er I a n d,
F antasyland Peter Pan,
Nov. 13 and end just before
the major protest
That plan calls for 50,000
persons to march in files of
twos from Arlington National
Cemetery, down Pennyslvania
Avenue in front of the White
House and then to the Capitol
grounds
Pinnochio, and the Casey
Jones, Jr. Railroad, in which
the six homecoming queen
finalists will ride.
Some of the house
decorations are The Love Bug,
Snow White and Seven Dwarfs
and the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Summers said that this year,
for the first time, there will be
a narrator to explain the
various floats to the audience
and the judges. Jim Hicks, who
is affiliated with WECU, will
have a booth and speakers set
up in front of Dr. Jenkins'
house, from which he will
narrate.
Trophy competition will be
divided into three
groupings fraternities,
sororities and dorms. For each
group there will be two
categories houses and floats,
each of which will have first
and second place awards.
Invited guests will include
Robert Morgan, N.C. Attorney
General, and Congressman
Walter Jones.
Summers said that the
Disneyland theme has been
very easy to work with because
the abundance of ideas permits
plenty of individual
participation. "It's been hard
to work with past themes
because they're so limited, but
Walt Disney was such a
versatile fellow that we've had
no problem whatsoever
Summers said.

The reel scene

By AW. OLSON

ths
The success of diiectoi John
h I esinger's "Midnight
boy" is a beautiful
nple of this phenomenon
i ompel it ion between
technicians and actors. In this
case the actors emerge
victorious. (Films which fare
better technical might be
Wexler's "Medium Cool" and
Peck inpah's "The Wild
Bunch)
Schlesinger's camera weaves
in and out of the City's sordid
after dai k scenery. The
banality and crudity of
Amei ica is displayed foi

hustling Texan, Joe Buck.

(as Joe Buck) and Dustin
Hoffman (as Rato) are aware
of the demands placed upon
them by super slick direction:
they are the reason to go and
see "Midnight Cowboy
Hoffman as the sick and
wretchedly existing Rato,
delivers the best performance
I've seen this year and he
plays a supporting role to
Voight's superb stallion like
performance as both stud and
saint.
Joe bucks a small Texas
town and trails his innocent
mind and hungry hotly up
country to the capitol of his
world, Nf:w York City. After
learning the stud game the haul
way (through other's con
games) he and the sinking
Rato come to terms and
become d pail of Jucks. They
come to depend upon each
other, something neither has
ever allowed to happen before.
Begrudgingly and beautifully
they unite in search for survival
and warmth in a cold, cold
world. What they finally find
they tragically lose in the film's
final scene. The greatest of
life's forces emphatically
shouts from the screen for
permission only to be.
"Midnight Cowboy" is
simply a great film.
How the House voted
the Military more than
$5 billion in an hour
(Reprinted from I.I . Stone's
Weekly, Oct. ?0, t'tbO)
Though confronted by the
largest military spending bill in
history, members of the House
were given only two days in
wnach to read the Armed
Services Committee hearings
on it, these totaled 2,660
pages. Most members barely
had time to skim through the
Committee report, which was
176 pages. Mendel Rivers, the
Committee chairman and the
Pentagon's most faithful ally,
wanted to limit debate to 3
hours but settled for 4. Since
the total bill was $21.3 billion,
that was more that $5 billion
an hour. Never did so many
vote so much with so little
time to consider what they
were doing. The "debate"
started with a 5-minute rule
and then (on motion of
Stratton, D. N.Y.) this was cur
to 45 seconds!
Total Time was divided
equally between the
Democratic majority and the
Republican minority, but the
two-party system turned itself
into a joke for the military
establishment since both
parties cooper ated in
steamrollering the House.
Every amendment to cut (he
total was beaten down. Though
the bill involved complex
problems of weaponry and
foreign policy, Rivers pushed it
through with the corn pone
oratory of a back country
patent medicine salesman. The
result was SI 2 billion more
than the Senate bill, thanks
largely to "Admiral" Rivers'
insistence on giving the Navy
S960 million more than the
Defense Department had
asked.

By EDWARD BRODIE
Pattie Simmons Dowell was
East Carolina's first student.
She Was hist to register and
fjrsl to graduate. In fact, she
holds so many "fusts" no one
has bothered to count most of
them.
Miss Dowell decided she
wanted to be a teacher after
tw0 years in a denominational
college, and none in high
school. So, she took 18
, ominations 'm(l obtained her
(ertificate.
Hei cousin, however,
convinced hei thai she did not
enough to teach, and
Id enroll in the new
hers training school
opening in Greenville. This she
did, becoming the first to do
so
"Evei ything was crude
when we first arrived Miss
ell recalls. "Building
materials were still lying
around the grounds. I don't
even think we had window
si reens foi a long time
In the first few days, the
students got acquainted and
familiarized themselves with
then surroundings.
"We had to get curtains and
pillows, and water for the bowl
and pitcher sets in our rooms
she says.
Dinner in those days was
served, and the students sat six
to .i table.
"We chose our table next to
the floor she said, "but they
made us change tables every
month in order to get us better
(H quainted
In order to work in the full
necessary course in two years,
work was assigned at 25
class hours per quarter. The
students had so much work to
do there was hardly time for
anything else.
When asked a b o u t
?' acirrucular activities. Miss
Dowell?i espudded?snnpfy?
'There were none
"There were men enrolled,
but there was almost no
? hange between them and us
girls she says. "Besides, they
weren't as dedicated to
' fi a c h ing as w e
? ere Everyone was
expected to present the neat,
well ((roomed appearance that
teai hers should and remember
thai they were representatives
of East Carolina.
"Our whole problem was
that we were first she says.
"Everything we did we had to
keep in mind we were setting
precedents. We were always
reminded that the reputation
of the college was at stake
Miss Dowell, who is now
retired and living in Raleigh,
still his strong recollections of
her days as a student at East
Carolina, especially of the
faculty.
"There was not a single
membei of that first faculty
that we did not totally respect.
They wen; all the greatest
people in the world, and ready
to help us anytime we wanted
them to and we always
needed help
Once, during a hookworm
epidemic, all the girls had to go
to the infirmary for a medical
inspection. One of the girls
complained to Claude Wilson,
pedagogy teacher, that they
were careless about where they
asked the girls to undress for
the inspection.
"Mr. Wilson listened, then
put his arm around her
shoulder and said 'Don't you
worry, we'll take care of it1
PATTIE DOWELL East
Carolina's first student.
The carelessness stopped
immediately
Mr. Herbert Austin is
another faculty member that
Miss Dowell remembers.
"He was way ahead of his
time she says of him. "He
taught units that became
popular years later and used
slides as illustrations. I'll never
know where he got the money
or the materials, but he had

Miss Dowell says that
whenever she hears the russle
of tafeta, she remembers lying
awake after "lights out"
listening to the russle as Mrs.
Beckwith. lady principal,
walked down the halls in her
tafeta skirt to see that all was
put away for the night.
"One evening Mrs. Beckwith
came up to me and said, 'Your
father was a minister, you
should do something on this
campus to let your light shine.
Think about it
So, Miss Dowell says, she
thought. Then she went around
to each girl's room and asked
who wanted to help form a
YWCA. At the organisation
meeting, she, as founder, was
given the honor of being the
first president.
"I think the literary
societies were formed in the
same way she says.
The plays given by these
societies were about the only
entertainment the students
had.
"I was in one of those
plays she says. "It was
Proposal Under Difficulties,
and I was doing the proposing.
That was one time I got to
wear slacks in spite of Mrs.
Beckwith -only they were big
clumsy baloon-like things, and
it looked like a dress anyway
In the spring of the first
year, they began landscaping,
painting red hawthorne,
japonica, and cedar to
emphasize the green of the
grass and the red of the
buildings.

Model rocket firm grows
By SONNY lyiCLAWHORN
Serruoc Astronautics
Corporation was born in a
Raleigh duplex apartment in
December, 1967.
In those days, Semroc was
little more than the distant
dream of a North Carolina
State student, Carlton
McLawhorn, and his
apartment mate George
Corbett.
During the past year,
Semroc's model rocket
company has grown to a
ten man operation with 10,000
square feet of office and fac-
tory floor space.
Hobby growing
The company was incorpo-
rated April I, 1968. A few days
later, a test advertisement was
placed in Popular Science Mag-
azine. McLawhorn now consid
ers this decision a mistake, for
without automation, Semroc
could not satisfy the 1,000 re-
sponses from the advertise-
ment.
So Semroc began, not with
a large number of satisfied cus-
tomers, but with the assurance
that model rocketry is a grow-
ing hobby throughout the na-
tion.
The company met its first
obstacle very early in its deve-
lopment. McLawhorn wrote to
his competitors asking discount
prices on parts, with the inten-
tion of developing Semroc kits
from the parts offered by other
companies. Not surprisingly,
the competition refused to co
operate.
Them McLawhorn decided
to leave college to devote his
full time and energy to build-
ing Semroc into a strong corpo-
ration. He had already bolster-
ed his business background
with courses outside his science
education curriculum. He
would need a good background
in business methods and proce-
costrisk decisions he would
have to make.
Semroc idea born
Upon leaving college,
awhorn moved back to
Ayden and began seeking capi-
tal for his new enterprise.
The first major expansion of
the Space Age corporation came
in January of 1969, when a
small concrete structure beside
McLawhorn's home was enlar-
ged to house an inventory of
raw materials and supplies.
With the help of his father,
who decided to give up his own
General Repair Shop to devote
full time to Semroc, Mel aw-
horn began to develop a pro-
cess of mass production.
Corbett had been helping in
his time outside his studies at
N.C. State. An aerospace engi-
neering major, he maintains
one of the highest academic av-
erages in the department. Cor-
bett is vice-president in charge
of engineering.
David Cavileer, released
from active duty with the Air
Force, joined the corporation
in May, 1969, as vice-president
in charge of marketing.
Machinery d "weloped
Carlton's father, Odell
Mrl awhnrn, is vice-president
in charge of production. He has
already developed machinery
to turn out nose cones from
balsa stock, body tubes and en
gines?the three most difficult
phases of kit production.
The factory is located in the
facilities which formerly
housed the General Repair
Shop, one mile north of Ay-
den. Already produced are
more than 2500 nose cones

'ECTC'
Nobody liked the name
By EDWARD BRODIE
Nobody liked ECTC.
It wasn't a bad school - its
graduates could be hired on the
school's reputation alone - but
its name was horrible.
The initials had for years
oeen slured into "Easy Teasy
which the school was not by
any means, and the college
suffered from the slur.
In addition, it was becoming
fashionable to drop the word
"teachers" from schools'
names. Other schools started
doing so, and ECTC began
clamoring for the change too.
When the change to ECC
was granted by the General
Assembly in April, 1951, a
notice was printed in the
school paper, "The Teco
Echo urging that no energy
be spared to eliminate 'ECTC
from the English Language
Yet, "The Teco Echo" itself
was a perpetuation of the
i lame, for it was derived from
the very word "Teachers
College The suggestion was
immediately made that the
paper change its name too.
Although a suggestion for a
new name for the paper came
up before the SGA the
following year, no action was
taken.
Finaiiy, in October, 1952,
the Publications Board handed
down suggestions for a name
change to the SGA. Either the
name "The Teco Echo" was to
remain, or the name "The East
Carolinian" war, to replace it.
The word "Buccaneer" was

although the SGA offered

By SONNY LEA
Sports Editor
In biblical days, there was a young man named David who slew
the giant named Goliath. Well in the modern era, David and
Goliath have teamed-crpTof th?past-eight wRRksJji,jcombination
called the Davidson Wildcats and Gordon Siade.
Remember too that Goliath had an army. Well, Slade has quite
an army himself but, he is the one who has caused most
opponents to shudder. Slade's right-hand man in all of his
gridiron dirty work is Mike Kelly, a 6-4, 220 pound end, who has
been on the receiving end of 52 passes totalling 700 yards and
three touchdowns, fourth in receptions and tied for fifth in
yardage.
But, in all good armies there are good soldiers in numbers and
Slade's army of Wildcats is no different. Another fine receiver is
end George Hannen, who has caught 42 passes for 514 yards and
seven touchdowns. Fullback Mike Mikolayunas has grabbed 41
aerials for 267 yards and three touchdowns through the first
seven games, six of which have been wins. Mikolayunas is ninth in
the nation in receptions.
Then, there is Slade's undercover man, sneaky Rick Lyon, a
junior, who won the Southern Conference championship in the
220 as a sophomore. Lyon has been on the receiving end of just
seven passes but has covered 131 yards. Slade's final reciever is
halfback Ken Hill, who has caught but three passes for 45 yards,
but one went for a tcjchdown.
So much for the guys who catch the bell, now let's talk about
the leader of th For seven games, Mr. Goliath, Mr. Slade or
whatever you want to call him but don't go digging back and ask
opposing coaches foi ime, has completed 147 of 223

Carson is also counting on

three runners in the top ten.
"It all depends on Voss,
though Carson said. "If he
can come through for us we

As a whole, Carson said he
is proud of the team because as
he put it, 'This team has had

Buc eager's progress
ases Coach Quinn
Frosh are big
pie
With the season less than
f0U, weeks away, East Carolina
University's basketball team
begins the final stages of
preparation for what will be
the toughest schedule in Pirate
history.
The Pirates open their
season on the first day of
December when they entertain
Western Carolina, starting a
four game home stand. Two
days later they play Roanoke
College and meet Atlantic
Christian in Minges Coliseum
on December 6. They finish
their homestand on December
10 with what could be their
roughest game of the year with
the Gamecocks of South
Carolina.
The Bucs have been working
just a little over three weeks
and head coach Tom Quinn
seems to be pleased with the
progress they are making.
This season the Pirates have
a lot of new faces on their
roster which includes junior
college transfers Mike Henrich,
Gary Cross and Joe Harvey
while sophomores Jim Fairley,
Julius Prince, Ron LePors,
Greg Crouse and Arnie Kuegg
add to the picture.
"We have been spending
more time with our new
faces the Pirate coach said.
"We haven't been stressing the
physical side as much as trying
to teach the system. We feel
that this is improving our
depth, so we've spent a lot of
time on it
In the first three weeks of
workouts, the Pirates have
made better progress than last
year's team which finished
second in the conference
behind Davidson and held an
overall record of 17-11.
Physically, Quinn thinks the
Pirates are probably in better
shape than at this stage last
year but admits they need to
strengthen themselves more.
"It's just a question of getting
our stamina back up he said.
"We are in good shape but now
we are not able to go a full
game two days in succession
Right now no definite
starting lineup has been set
because the Pirates will run a
number of offensive set ups to
help give more depth.
"We'll probably use Tom
Miller some on the wing in our
1-4 offense Quinn said. "We
have three players in Miller,
(Jim; Kiernan and Henrich (
Mike) who can play the point.
Miller and Kiernan have
experienced and Henrich is
looking good in practice
Quinn also has used Cross,
Prince and Crouse on the wing.
The Pirate will also rely on
their patented "yoyo" offense
but this season Quinn has
devised something new to go
with it. The Pirate Coach has
added the "see saw" offense to
compliment the old offense.
"In the "see-saw" offense,
we will be putting special skills
to better advantage Quinn
said. "It will also confuse our
opponents in defensing us
Quinn also said he is
teaching two positions inside
to help strengthen the depth
where the Pirates are weaker.
"We are teaching both the
post and the wing because we
are not too deep in numbers in
there Quinn said. "But by
playing a couple of positions,
we can improve our depth.
"For example, we can move
(Jim) Modlin outside, and we
can go with out on the forward
and move LePors inside.
Modlin has experience on the
outside because he piayed
there as a sophomore
Quinn also pointed out that
both Jim Gregory and Jim
Fairley can play either the
wing or the post.
(continued from page 2)
well. In high school he
averaged 17 ooints.
Roland Leggett
At 5 10 he is smallest man
on team. A bouncy guard.
Called by Stewart a
"hard-nosed" basketball
player. He can score from the
outside and is not afraid to go
inside against the big men. He
averaged 20 points in high
school.
Phil Shaffer
At 6-8, he has excellent
potential to become a very fine
pivot player. As speed and
quickness improve he will be
much more effective in going
to the hoop. Prepped at
Frederick Military where he
averaged II points and 12
rebounds a game.
Jack Redmond
At 6-5, he gives the Baby
Bucs depth at forward. Saw
limited high school action but
averaged 13 points and II
rebounds. Going through
period of adjusting to major
caliber basketball. He will
definitely see action.
Steve McKenzie
At 6-7, he is built well to fill
corner position. He har a fine
face-up game and can score on
the jumper as soon as he gets
ued to contact around the
board. Te imate of Shaffer at
Frederick last season.
Ernie Pope
At 6 3, he is a very smooth
??i cf gudc ogwrtU J6 WMoA
oPfttians
bill handler who does an
excellent job feeding the big
men, bringing the ball up
against the press and also
penetrates well with the ball.
Has a fine outside jumper. An
All-State player at Statesville
last year, he averaged 18 points.
Blake Belcher
At 6-5, he will give depth at
the corner position. Played at
same high school as varsity
player Jim Fairley. He is ready
and willing to do anything
asked. A hard worker, he is an
eager basketball player.
Pat McNamara
At 6-I, he will give the
freshman depth at guard. Still
working on improving his ball
handling, he will see action.
Charles Downing
At 6-3, he has the makings
of a fine swing man. From
Houston, Texas, he will see
action with special emphasis on
ball handling.

Page 8, Fountainhead, November 6, 1969 , Thursday
a casual observer
from the Bema
On Monday night the magic
eye mesmerized millions of
Americans who gathered to
listen to the speech of Nixon's
career on his plan for ending
the War in Vietnam. But to
quote Milton's poem, "the
sheep looked up and were not
fed In fact they received a
good stiff dose of the same old
swill.
For the last month, Spiro
has been touring the South and
Mid-West and meeting the
labor union faithful when they
came to Washington in what
seemed to be a calculated
attempt to steal the right-wing
righteousness of George
Wallace. But at the crucial
moment the newly constituted
Supreme Court yankea the
moderate rug out from under
Nixon and put Spiro's to
nought.
In a world grown too
smooth, svelte and slippery for
the proletarian mentality, the
oversimplifications of Spiro's
speechers are soothing slumber
songs. The lower middle class
anti-intellectual is convinced
that the dissenters from the
Vietnam policies of four chief
executives are effecte,
snobbish, unkempt,
treasonous, addicted irrational,
and think-pink. Nixon and his
advisors have set out to from a
great "silent majority" even if
none exists. It was in this vein
that Spiro talked about
"polarizing" the country.
After all the oratory is
completed and the last witless
white dot had perished from
the TV tube, it is clear that the
three evils are still present: 1.
The Saigon Government
represents nobody but its own
vested bureaucrats; 2. The
Coalition of Viet Cong and
North Vietnamese is convinced
by Presidential statements that
the U. S. will ultimately turn
over the war to the Saigon
Government; and 3. The U.S.
has neither the will nor the
desire to assimilate South
Vietnam as a neo-colonial
possession.
Nixon presented his point
unconvincingly and with a
great deal of reliance on the
same nineteenth century
patroitic emotions which sent
Britains around the world for a
dying imperialism. The
Pentagon has usually been
wrong in matters of American
foreign policy, as in Cuba,
Laos, Indonesia and Lebanon.
Yet Nixon seems unable to
break from the mottos of the
early fifties and even less likely
to face the political reality of
the seventies which will see a
Japan of incredible power and
a gaining China.
The Republicans have been
amazingly impotent in modern
TV oriented political
campaigns. The image of the
well groomed heart in the gray
flannel suit just does not turn
on the voters. It is obvious that
the minions of the pachyderm
will not want their totemic
beast stricken down in 72. But
stricken it is already though
not yet unto death struck
from within by the hot air of
Spiro and the ill-timed and
unkept promises of the
president.
Nixon's job is not an easy
one. Dividing the country even
further through irrelevant
references to "our image
overseas" will not heal the
breech. Will the administration
respond to further Moratorium
activity with repression of
dissent?
Will the next confrontation
between a well inclined but
benign establishment and the
frustrated masses of the
disenchanted minority be in
Washington this month?
Probablv. But will discord at
home bring concord in
Vietnam?
If the Vietnam crusade is
holy, gracious and undefiled
then by what moral judgement
can we withdraw at all? Must
we not fight through to
ultimate victory and conquer
all of Asian communism? If We
are to leave, why would 1971
1972 or 1973 be
anY more
propitious than 1969?
But we cannot answer, we
can only gather at the feet of
Nixon the twice scorned and
Spiro the thrice ill advised and
wait and watch.
Conservative
By ALAN SABROSKY
Both the character and the
policies of Conservatives have
been stigmatized and
misrepresented by the various
media to such an extent that
it is extremely difficult for
the concerned student and
the interested citizen to
consider them objectively.
Contemporary political and
journalistic rehtoric tends to
depict a Conservative as an
arch-reactionary, irrevocably
and insensibly opposed to
any form of social progress,
unmindful of the best
interests of the people, and
blindly intent upon
unlimited, unilateral military
expansion with the ultimate
goal of creating an
commentary
"American Empire
Nothing could be more
inaccurate. That such an
impression is often created is
due to the tendency of
Conservatives to be less vocal
than those of other political
or ideological persuasions.
The fact that Conservatives
speak less often, and less
volubly, than others does not
reflect upon the validity of
their position; no intelligent
person mistakes mere
quantity for quality.
Generalized "labels" such
as Liberal and
"Conservative" are admittedly
misleading, particularly in
politics. Pundits often group
such different individuals as
Tom Hayden of the SDS and
Senator J. William Fulbright
together as "Liberals and
place them in opposition to
such equally diverse figures as
Robert Shelton of the KKK
and the late Senator Everett
Dirksen, both of whom are
categorized as
"Conservatives
The fallacy of such
generalizations is obvious. A
Fulbright and a Dirksen have
much more in common than
either could have with
violence-obsessed extremcts
such as Shelton and Hayden.
Still, some sort of a
"working definition" of a
Conservative is essential to

Dear Editor:
Buccaneer Courts could not
possibly offer any more than it
does now to any tenants and I
seriously doubt that it will ever
improve to any justifiable
extent to compensate for the
deplorable treatment we have
received here lately.
Approximately one week
after moving into and settling
down at Buccaneer Courts on
Heath Street we were informed
that everyone was to be moved
into the other two buildings on
10th Street. The buildings on
Heath Street were to be totally
redecorated. The owners came
by, telling us of their wonderful
remodeling plans which would
be completed at the end of the
quarter. That was all they told
us Needless to say it was a pain
for us to repack and move but
we didn't complain that much.
After all, what could we do.
Last week, to our complete
surprise, we were once again
informed that we were to move.
The former suites were
remodeled and ready to be
occupied. It seems to me that
the end of the quarter is still a
month away; however, now I
realize that the owners actually
meant "towards" the end of the
quarter and that all the time
they intended for us to make
the move back so that work
could immediately begin on the
Tenth Street buildings. They are
to be made into apartments.
The girls in my suite and I
went to the house mother to
state our case. We refused to
move Within ten minutes one
of the owners was sittting in our
suite, stuttering around like a
third rate businessman who was
so scared about losing money
that he was keeping his head
above water by standing on our
shoulders while we drown. He
was fully aware that he had
pulled the wool over our eyes
and he implied that we poor
girls would just have to forget
- our rights and inconveniences in -
order to keep 'urn in business.
After all, he had contracted the
workers to have the apartments
finished by December and he
boasted because he already had
five future tenants. He backed
up against the wall and never
answered me when I asked him
why those people, who already
live in Greenville, couldn't wait
another month and save all of us
girls from a second move. After
all, when we first moved back to
school and paid our money we
were not informed about any of
these "changes" until right
before the owners intended to
make them. Now we are 1(
forced to move for the second
t'me, 2) told we will receive no
refund if we want to move out
for good, 3) will have our lights
and heat cut off if we stay, and
to top things off, 4) in order to
save room, they have now
decided to cut down the
occupancy of suites by filling
the extra beds of some rooms
w'th girls from other suites!
All of this may seem trite to
you who don't mind packing to
move while studying for three
tests during the coming week. It
may not matter to those of you
who don't mind paying $105.00
to find yourself walked all over.
But it does matter to me. To
those of you who would also
feel helplessly doused, I urge
you to never become involved ir
"aspiring business operations"
of the owners of Buccaneer
Courts and future apartments.
If I had it to do again I would
not give a nickle for these
cracker-box suites with thin ?
and I mean paper thin walls.
I sincerelv hope that the new
apartments will be knee deep in
wall to wall carpeting, otherwise
I have enormous sympathy for
those tenants on the first floor.
As for those of you who look
forward to the beautifully
remodeled suites, I hope that
you will be able to see the "big
improvements I can't! They
are still the same old suites with
newly painted walls, newly
sanded floors and with the same
college rules for the occupants.
These were the big changes?
I urge any of you, whether
you plan to move to Buccaneer
suites or apartments, to have
second thoughts. With the way
the Courts have been sinking
over the years and with the way
the owners handle their business
and tenants, you too may find
yourself being moved to God
knows where if these men lose
on their investments. They'll
have your money and you'll
havea big pain in the XXX.

Dear Editor:
In this age when woman
has attained a status, equal
to that of man, in the
economic, political, and social
world, the college woman
here still remains a victim of
Victorian thought. She is
denied those freedoms and
responsibilities which she
rightfully deserves.
A women's dormitory at
East .Carolina is not a
residence hall, but a nursery.
Rather than helping her to
mature, the regulations here
hamper any advance in
maturity.
It seems that one may
assume that since the male
student has no curfew, he is
considered mature and
responsible enough to control
his own social life. Is the
college woman less mature or
responsible than her male
counterpart?
By all practical standards,
a woman at the age of
eighteen is considered an
adult. She is physically mature
and possibly more mature
emotionally, than many males
at that age. At this time in
her life, she should be
maturing rapidly.
College should be the
place where she learns to
accept responsibility, if she
has not done so already.
How can a young woman
mature in college when she is
treated as a high school girl?
Some students seem to
think that abolishing the
curfew would foster rampant
immorality among the female
students. However, by the
time a young woman enters
college, she has formulated a
standard of conduct for
herself.
Simply because she has
the right to stay out all night
does not mean that she is
expected or required to do
so. It is important, though
that she be given the same
trust that is given to the
male student.
If a woman has not
matured sufficiently before
she enters college to decide
for herself when to come in
at night, she does not belong
in college, but at home under
"Mama's wing
The fault lies not in the
school itself, but in the
indifference shown by the
female students on this
matter. It is evident, as last
year's proposal for an
all-night dorm indicated, that
student support could remedy
the situation.
Does the college woman
here really believe these
restrictions are necessary?
Surely she must feel
downgraded when forced to
accept an inferior position.
The time for action is
now. It isfutileto think that
by waiting, things will
eventually change. When this
issue is brought up by the
student government again, let
it be known that the college
woman wants to be treated
as an adult.

Dear Editor:
I generally enjoy A. W.
Olson's critiques of the
movies showing at the local
theaters. But, his article on
"Last Summer" was neither
enjoyable nor humorous He
completely missed the point
"perverted The sex scene at
the end was not merely an
extra scene to show the
adolescents' savagery.
It was a necessarily
shocking scene to comp'ete
the movie's message. That
message was one of human
insensitivity and cowardice.
The major episodes in the
film are parallels. When
Rhoda tells of the way her
mother died, we are not
shocked. Yet, when basically
the same thing happens to
Rhoda in the rape scene, we
are shocked beyond belief.
Both instances are of a
group of half-drunk, bored
people hurting someone by
an insensitive, unpremeditat-
ed, and cruel act. The
episode in which Sandy
cruelly kills the sea gull is
another paralleling episode
supporting the theme of the
cruelty and insensitivity in
men.
The same is true of the
episode involving the Puerto
Rican. Yet Sandy is no
different from most of us.
We all perform similarly cruel
acts.
Finally, the picture makes
a comparison by contrasting
Rhoda with her boyfriend.
He was an example of a
cowardly person who fears
the opinions of others and
the loss of acceptance so
much that he allows himself
to participate in performing
insensitive and cruel acts. ?:?:
Rhoda, however, was a ?:?:
Christ-figure, a symbol of the ?:?:
sensitive person trapped and ??
crushed in an insensitive and 8
cruel society. ?:?:
In short, Mr. Olson, the :?:?
movie was a beautifully s
constructed unit. Each :?
episode contributed S
something to the whole, and :g
nothing was extra or wasted. 8
You obviously missed the
proverbial forest for the
proverbial trees.
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of the
paper, I noticed an article
about the Buccaneer, our il-
illustrious "1984" oriented
yearbook.
It seems that people are
not having their pictures
made. Jim Kilbrum, that
highly skilled prince of pho-
topaper who is as friendly to
his subjects as a goared bull,
has decided to whip the
horse of student apathy to
account for this phemonenon.
I wonder if it has occured
to Mr. Kilbrum that the
cause might not be student
apathy, but the archaic dress
regulations the "Big Buccan-
eer" imposes on the student
body.
I realize that in black and
white photography, high con-
trast (i.e. white shirts and
dark coats) is more desirable,
but it should be noted that
three button, one inch lapel
blazers went out of style
when pleated pants did.
Also there are no dress
regulations for the faculty
and I was under the impres-
sion that student money paid
for the "book
NO, Mr. Kilbrum, students
are not apathetic, they just
want to be themselves.

Doubt surrounds march

By BILL CONNELLY
Washington Correso onaem
5- NGTON
The March on Washington of November 13, !4 an
being sponsored by the New Mobilization Committee to End the
War in Vietnam
The most dramatic of the planned eents is the March of
Death. Scheduled to start at midnight Thursdav and to cont nue
until Saturday noon, it is to consist of a single file of s ent
marchers from Arlington Memorial Cemeter tc the Cap to a
distance of about two miles.
Each marcher, and there is hope that there ma be ? many as
45,000, will carry the name of a dead Gl. etnames o
destroyed village to be placed in a coffin at the Cac tc Latei the
coffins are to be carried to the h te House
Groups from each state and from the many supporting
organizations are expected to send marchers. Volunteers from the
Washington area will be called upon to take up any slack.
The New Mobilization Committee, or the New Mobe, is a
rather loosely structured organization which includes groups of
every shade of political faith, from the National Council of
Churches to the Communist Party, U.S.A.
It is fear of the Communists and other far left groups which
has kept the Moratorium Day Committee, sponsors of the
Moratorium March on October 15, from fully supporting the
March on Washington, although they have formally endorsed it.
The Moratorium people tend to think the New Mobe and their
plans, such as the March of Death, just a little showy
Feeling that a march on Washington is largely symbolic and
that there have been so many of them for so many purposes that
there is little pragmatic effect, the Moratorium Day Committee is
putting its emphasis and influence on local demonstrations -
door-to-door canvassing, teach-ins, meetings with Congressmen
and political figures, panel discussions and marches. Anyone can
come to Washington and march anonymously, but one's personal
impact is the greater on one's home ground.
The Moratorium Day Committee's emphasis on decorum and
non-violence in October was completely successful. The
demonstrators took in every possible political attitude, but
everyone was willing to overlook the divisions and unite for
peace. Probably few could have agreed on one specific peace plan,
but all were firm in the belief that peace is necessary now, and
that they were unwilling to accept any "all deliberate speed"
attitudes.

y ooth - direct grants to universities and in student

He received a sympathetic hearing, but no promises of
support, from the economy minded congressmen.
Republican Rep. Charles R. Jonas of Lincolnton (9th District),
a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee,
flatly told Caldwell that in the current budget squeeze it is not
enough merely to have a good cause.
"You could make a good case for doubling the appropriation
for almost any program said Jonas, an unbudging fiscal
conservative. "But somebody has to take the responsibility (for
making tough budget decisions)even if people do accuse us of
living in the 18th century. I hope you won't be disappointed if
you don't get all you want
Only three North Carolina congressmen have voted this year
for an increase in one or more education aid bills for fiscal 1970.
They are Reps. Nick Galifianakis of Durham (4th District),
Richardson Preyer of Greensboro '6th District) and Roy A.
Taylor of Black Mountain (11th District), all Democrats.
The outlook for persuading the Tar Heel congressmen to vote
for fattening federal aid to higher education is not promising.
Some members of the delagation are simply opposed to the
concept of federal aid and have always voted against it.
Others feel that with budget funds limited by the Vietnam war
- and by the need to hold down spending as an anti-inflation
measure - educators will just have to take their lumps like
everyone else.
On one question - student unrest - Caldwell and the
congressmen did not seem far apart. He urged that Congress leave
the problem to college administrators and not enact any new laws
dealing with campus rebellion.
After the experience in dealing with last term's disturbances,
Caldwell said, most administrators now "have the wisdom and the
backbone" to work out problems peacefully with their students.
He gave the congressmen copies of N. C. State's policy toward
student protest. In essence, it calls for a continuing dialogue and
protest
that hopefully can make violent
for negotiations
unnecessary.
None of the congressmen argued with the university's
approach. And one, Rep. L. H. Fountain of Tarboro (2nd
District), complimented Caldwell and other North Carolina
university officials on their handling of student protests and
grievances.

Nixon addresses 'silent majority
By SONNY McLAWHORN
Richard addressed himself
to the "great, silent majority"
in his Monday speech on Viet-
nam.
Nixon was doing what he
does best-explaining history
to the silent ones who haven't
yet caught on to this business
of Vietnam, justifying his pol-
icies with reference and defer-
ence to his predecessors (espe
cially Eisenhower and Kenne-
dy, the best-loved ones).
White house sources indica-
ted that the speech was
Nixon's own, that he had not
relied on outside help as exten
sively as in the past.
Not once did he say, "Let
me make one thing very clear
But one thing was very clear-
-after nearly thirty years of
public speaking, he has finally
cleaned up some of the cliches.
He reiterated his previous
position, changing the language
a bit: "Precipitate withdrawal
would be a disaster of immense
magnitude
He said Ho Chi Minh had
"flatly rejected" his private of-
fer to negotiate seriously for
the end of the war.
Whatever can be said about
Nixon's continuing choice of
taking little steps toward ulti-
mate peace, it must be noted
that he is doing exactly what
the "great, silent majority"
wants him to do, Public opin-
ion polls indicate that his stand
on the Vietnam issue has be-
come more popular since the
October Moratorium. It will
probably rise again this week.
And again after the two-day
moratorium later this month.
He struck a few patriotic
notes in Monday night's radio
and television address to the
nation, among them: "North
Vietnam cannot humiliate the
United States, only Americans
can do that
The good old boys liked
that. If Nixon continues using
words like "precipitate" with
the great silent people, he'll
need the good oid boys in
1972.

Yes, there are those of us
who are not content with
today's society. Maybe this
malcontentment arose from
the hunger we felt or the
hunger we saw in the eyes of
others, or from experiencing
the absence of a deserted
father wno ien T"ai n,s
family would have benefits
welfare could provide, but he
couldn't.
But then, it could have
come from watching your own
mother cook and scrub and
clean for others for a weekly
salary less than the weekly cost
of her employer's food bill, or
it may have come from living
on the unlit, sewageless streets
in a community where the tax
money from the residents went
to better the better
communities.
We were told, says Truman
Nelson, through our own
leaders that we had to match
our society's capacity to inflict
suffering on us by our capacity
to endure it. But we had to
meet their guns, clubs, dogs,
. bombs, sadistic police, white
mobs like packs of mad
animals, corrupt judges,
hanging judges, with 'soul"
force.
When they bombed our
homes, threitened us and spat
upon our little children, when
they dragged us off the roads
and beat us to death with
chains, they said we must still
love them.
You will soon wear us down
with your holy capacity to
sufferand when you win our
hearts and conscience, when
we discover the turning point
in the longevity of our will to
hate you and degrade you, you
will overcome.
And we've heard this time
and time again for the past two
hundred years and it only
seems as if the beatings and
bombings and robbings become
more and more intense. The
poor are still jobless and
exploited and the word justice
interpreted to mean "just us
white folks is becoming more
of a reality.
Some of us welcome the
signs of rebellion within the
ranks of the young. As they
have recognized the
shortcomings of the
philosophies of our society, the
procrastinations and jive
concessions once used to quell
discontent will no longer be
accepted.
C ontr i butu ions and
leadership from "conservative"
blacks are usually accepted.
However, these conservative
Conservative commentary
(continued from page 8)
permit a rational evaluation
of the various policies
proposed and positions taken
by those who adhere to this
philosophy. No such
definition can be all-inclusive;
as with other philosophies,
Conservatism is an individual
matter. Two men may take
different positions on a
particular topic, yet both
may consider themselves to
be Conservatives. This is
because Conservatives
generally adhere to certain
basic beliefs.
A Conservative is
essentially a pragmatist,
recognizing the necessity for
the United States to correlate
the extent and priority of its
policy objectives, both
foreign and domestic, with
the"
means available to attain
those objectives. While
advocating a firm foreign
policy and progressive
domestic policy, a
Conservative opposes
unplanned, injudicious, and
capricious action in either
sphere. The policy objectives
may be as grand as the
Empire State Building is high,
but before one can erect
either structure, one must lay
the foundation and develop
the framework in a careful,
precise manner. In politics, as
m architecture, spontaneous
and idealistic enthusiasm is
no substitute for careful and
realistic skill.
A Conservative is not
reactionary who senselessly
opposes reasonable social
Progress; however, a
Conservative rejects the use
of violence as a means to
effect political or social
cnange, believing that
constructive, evolutionary
Progress by means of the
legitimate oolitical process is
more equitable, more durable,
and more effective than
greatest number" while
enabling its citizens to enjoy
the greatest possible freedom.
In keeping with this, a
Conservative opposes the
concept of "minority rule
In contrast to those who
proclaim their self-ordained
"moral superiority" as
justification for forcing their
policies upon a supposedly
"incompetent" majority, a
Conservative believes that the
people - not a small and
assertedly "superior" segment,
but the whole people - are
capable of directing the
overall conduct of our
nation's present and future
affairs.
The recognition of these
factors underlies the
destructive, nihilistic
revolution
By JAMES HORD
Editorial Writer
President Nixon's appeal to
the "great silent majority" in
his Vietnam address Nov. 3
raises some basic questions.
First of all, who composes this
"silent majority?"
Secondly, why are they so
silent? And thirdly, are they
really behind him in his effort
to achieve peace in Vietnam?
In order to answer a few of
these questions, I consulted a
friend of mine, Sam Soandso,
who claimed to be one of the
silent Americans who supports
his country in everything it
does. Here is part of that
conservation:
"Sam, is it true that you
haven't spoken out on a major
- issue in this country in the last
A Conservative believes
that the primary function of
the Government is to ensure
the security of all of the
citizens; in orfer to fulfill
this function effectively and
with justice, it must respond
to the will of the majority
while simu I taneously
respecting the rights of all
minorities, whatever their
nature.
The essence of
Conservatism is an inherent
faith in the people and in
our system of government.
This faith is not simply
dogma; it is based on the
demonstrated success of both
the people and the nation
when compared with other
countries. Those who concern
themselves with fault-finding
often overlook the
acknowledged achievements
of the United States; no
other political or economic
order, past or present, has so
strikingly achieved the goal
of "the greatest good for the
philosophy of a modern
Conservative.
15 years?
"Yes, that is so
"That's rather amazing, I
said. Do you mean to say
you've been satisfied with
everything that has happened
blacks are usually the blacks
that "made it" -the elite. And
somehow they possess an air of
superiority-moving away from
the slums into the suburbs and
not really associating with or
having anything in common
with "the brother on the
block
The new leaders (Rev. Jesse
Jackson, Julian Bond, and
Eldridge Cleaver) who relate
more or less to the poor blacks
are admired and supported
mainly for thatthey're down
home and can be talked to and
understood.
It seems as though any time
an individual chooses to
challenge the values of a
society which is working
against him, it instantly
suggests to some that he has
had a bad childhood and.or
he's a communist.
Yes, there are those of us
in the last 15 years? Haven't
you even been a little bit
disturbed about some of your
country's policies?"
"Yes, of course. In I960 I
thought that flouridation of
the water was bad
"Did you make your views
known?"
"No. As I recall I had an
appointment with the dentist
that day
"What else have you been
dissatisfied with?"
"Well, let's see. I've always
felt that desegregation was evil.
Bombing North Vietnam was
just. And annihilation of
bearded college professors,
hippies, and drug users was a
desired thing
"My God, Sam, you're a
bigot! Now I see why you've
remained silent all these
years
"Oh, that's not the half of
it. Anything that interferes
with my golf game, bowling
league or weekend at the
mountains has got to go. So far
who had bad childhoods. We
witnessed many things day
after day that others rarely
even heard of. Things that
aren't too good for children to
see.
It's been said and proven
true that shame is a
revolutionary sentiment.
Nevertheless, our politics are
based on experience. Maybe if
we had been brought up in
another situation things would
have been different?but it
didn't happen that way, baby,
and conservative politics has
yet to come through for many
of us.
That circumstances
sometimes justify
it(revolutuion) is not
Communist doctrine but an old
American belief Justice

Close up
my country has been pretty
good to me (Gimme another
can of Bud)
"But Sam, don't you realize
what would happen to this
country if everybody took that
kind of attitude?"
"Nothing would happen.
We're the greatest nation on
earth. If anybody gets in our
way, just blast them away! It's
them communists who are
causing all the trouble
anyway
After this last remark, Sam
grabs another can of beer and
switches on the T.V. to a rerun
of the Beverly Hillbillies.
"Gee, er, you must really be
informed on the issues to make
such decisions, I said (in jest).
Where do you get your
information?"
"You won't believe this, he
