The fun, according to director Edgar R. Loessin, is in the plot a classic formula of mistaken identity and double entendres. Here's the way it goes: A young wife has "a flea in her ear' and suspects her blamelessly square husband of infidelity. To catch him she has a friend write him a love letter from an unknown lady, making an appointment with him at the Hotel Pussycat. Complications and ch? is abound at the hotel as identites are reversed and bedrooms r. witnhed with everyone finding htrnsef' in a compromising position. Major roles in the production are played by Ben Cherry, Barbara Simpson, Mark Ramsey, Linda Taylor, Jim Leedom and Sue Weisensale. Tickets are now available at the box office in McGinnis Auditorium.

Harvard blacks capture building About 75 black students seized Harvard University's main administration building Friday, according to the Associated Press. Although some of their demands will be met, they also face disciplinary action. The Organization for Black Unity (OBU) which is made up of various Afro American groups at Harvard, led the six-hour invasion. An agreement was reached between the blacks and Harvard Law School Professor Archibald Cox. It calls for the establishment Qf a joint committee of Harvard and the OBU to see that more blacks are hired in connection with the construction work being done at Harvard. After the blacks vacated the University Hall, Ernest R.May, dean of Harvard College, told newsmen that he will disciplinary charges against the students. He said their takeover violated guidelines and limits for student conduct during any protest or demonstration at Harvard. MHHKHHl ?MM Nixon announces withdrawal of more troops Christmas ByJOHNM'HlGHTOWER AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon says he intends to announce new U.S. troop withdrawals about Christmas time as part of a plan he declares will result in the Vietnam war ending, re- gardless efforts for a negotiated peace. Nixon told a news confer ence Monday night North Viet- namese inftltiation into South Nixon has 'no complaints' Networks analyze Nixon By JERRY BUCK AP Television Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) CBS wd NBC each had a brief news analysis Monday night of Presi- dent Nixon's first televised news conference since Vice President Spiro T. Agnew criti- cized network commentary fol- lowing Nixon's Vietnam speech. Nixon said in his news con- ference: "Generally, I think the news media has been fair "I also will have no com- plaints as long as the news a allows, as it does to- night, an opportunity for me to be heard directly by the American people and then the television commentators to fol- low me. I will take my chances he said. The President said he thought Agnew had "rendered a public service" by bringing up the issue of network news analysis. The vice president said in a speech that he thought the analyses immedi- ately after Nixon's Nov. 3 Viet- nam speech made difficult an objective evaluation of the Pre- sident's remarks.

Vietnam has gone up in recent weeks, but not as much as first believed, and "we do not consi- der the infiltration signigicant enough to change our with- drawal plan He cautioned, however, ene- my action still could cause him to alter his view. He said the number of American soldiers to be pulled out in the next round is still undecided. It ap- peared Nixon wants further re- ports on infiltration before making a final decision. He promised the announcement in two or three weeks. In his 30 minute session with reporters, his first formal news conference since late Sep- tember, Nixon dealt largely with Vietnam, including the al- leged My Lai massacre. But he also touched on domestic and foreign policy matters. There was an undisguised threat to veto the tax reform bill as written by the Senate to include large increases in Social Security benefits and jump in personal income tax exemp- tions. Nixon also warned again he will call Congress back into a rare post-Christmas special ses- sion if lawmakers' efforts flag in acting on appropriations. And he spoke optimistically about the Soviet U.S. arms control talks. Nixon was asked early in the session about the alleged mas- sacre of Vietnamese civilians by U.S. troops at My Lai in early 1968. "What appears to have hap- pened was certainly a mas- sacre Nixon said, "under no circumstances was it justified Tuesday, December 9, I969, Fountainhead, Page 3 Bond advocates political support "Politics is aneglected way of getting things done said Georgia legislator Julian Bond in a speech Sunday at North Carolina State University, according to the Associated Press. The Negro lawmaker told students that splinter groups or tnird parties can be an effective political force at the local and state level. Bond cited the predominantly black National Democratic Party of Alabama (NDPA) as an example. He said the NDPA holds one county seat in Alabama and "hopes to gain control of 20 more next year The NPDA was formed to oppose the Wallace-dominated faction of Alabama's Democratic party and claims affiliation with the Democratic South by playing "a Southern strategy Bond said the Spiro Agnew is paying more attention to the South than any other vice president in history. Bond, 29, earned national fame when he was seated in the Georgia state early in 1967 after a year-long fight in federal courts. ECU biologists publish articles Two Biology professors are authors of articles that have appeared recently in scientific journals. Dr. Susan J. McDaniel, assistant professor, reported on her work on the effects of a parasite on its host in an article entitled "Littorina littorea: Lowered Heat Tolerance Due tn C.ryptor.otyle lingua It was published in the October issue of "Experimental Parasitology Dr. Clifford B. Knight, professor of biology, and Mrs. Virginia Read are co-authors of the article "Mlcrostratification of Tomocerus (Collembola in a Pine-Open-Field Continum" appearing in the most recent issue of the "Revue d'Ecologie et de Biologie du Sol an international journal. Dr. McDaniel did the research reported in her paper at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. Her esperiments showed that the snails that were hosts for the larva! flatworms were less able to survivie extreme temperatures than were snails free of the papasites. The data reported by Knight and Mrs. Read are the result of a continuing investigation by Knight into the biological relationships of a soil-d ailing group of springtails. ? .?' Page 4, Fountainhead.

A bare majority of the Natione' Violence Commission condem- ned the use of massive civil dis ? edience as a tactic to change - Monday. ? six-member mfnority of the commission contended that I disobedience when prac- thout . olence, is per- haps the only effective means of overturning unjust laws. We suggest the major I , said, that if in good faith the :onstitutionality of a statute, ordinance or a court decree is to be challenged, it can be done effectively by one indivi- 3 or a small group. hile the judicial test is in progress, all other dissenters should abide by the law invol- .ed until it is declared uncon- stitutional Desputing that arguement, U.S. District Judge A. Leon - gginbotham Jr. said, "If the majority's doctrine of 'every- one wait until xhe outcome of ne individual test case' had been applied by balck Am- ericar; ? 1960's, probably t one present major civil ghts statute . iuld have been enacted. "I Uar that the majority's position ignores the sad actu history of some of the most tragic 'legal' repression of the civil rights of Negroes in this country Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, chairman of the commission, is on the minority side of the q lestion. In a brief statement, Eisenhower- who reportedly tried hard to resolve the panel's differences-noted that all commissioners "agree that vio- lent or coercive acts of disobe- dience to law as a tactic to fur ther a political goal, or to force concessions, are to be condem- ned as endangering the vital processes of a democratic soci- ety and its institutions. "Where the commissioners disagree he said, "is solely on the question of nonviolent, noncoercive disobedience to law as a means either of legally testing the constitutional valid- ity of a law, or of dramatizing individual conscientious object- ion to a law or policy- with in all cases, willing acceptance of any legal penalties imposed. Minister supports legalization of marijuana MIAMI iAP) - A Miami minister Sunday called for the legalization of marijuana and said "many Americans needed it to rid them of their hangups LeShane, minister of the F 'st Unitarian Church of ni, said marijuana could help the people "get off their backs and the backs of others and reduce the level of neurotic striving and all the games people play in regard to office, status and position LeShane made his statement in a sermon, "Is Every Herb Good?" which he delivered to 200 persons. His remarks came several days after Florida's Supreme Court ruled that marijuana was a "menace to the whole society Tuesday, December 9, 1969, Fountainhead, Page 5 Opening days at East Carolina By EDWARD BRODIE East Carolina Teachers Training School was to open on Oct. 5, 1909, ready or not. Work had progressed steadily since the groundbreaking the summer before, and by October, everything was readyalmost. Furnishings were incomplete, but the buildings were up, the faculty was selected, and the hostesses had arrived East Carolina Teachers Training Schoo' was idy to open. There were only six buildings at that time: an Administration Classroom building, West Dormitory for girls, East Dormitory for boys, an infirmary, a dining hall, and a lower-plant laundry. Every incoming train the day before, Monday, Oct. 4, brought students in, and they were greeted by someone from the school. One of the early students later said of the arrival: "We 'Jot into a four-wheeled fring-top phaeton at the station and rode through town in grand style! When we came to the campus, we drove over the rough driveway, crushing lime barrels and mortar boards as we went A hostess was there at the dorms to greet them as they arrived. Everything around them was new the strong scent of paint mingled with that of fresh-cut timber to create the "unused" smell that belongs to new construction. On the morning of Oct. 5, the student body assembled in the auditorium for the first time. President Robert H. Wright conducted the formal opening exercises, and gave a brief address giving instructions on registration, application for books, classification, and beginning work. Registration, as one student remembered, consisted merely of "giving a history of ourselves to the office A few of the 123 students were already registered, and needed only to be classified. There were three curricula offered: a preparatory two-year course open to those who had completed one year of high school, and a professional two-year course open to those who had completed four years of high school. Also offered was a special one year course open only to those who held a first or second-grade teaching certificate. All three were teaching courses. Pattie Dowell of Williamston was one of the first students - in fact, she was the first. Although there was no accredited high school in her hometown, she had obtained a teaching certificate. However, she decided that she did not know enough to teach, and wrote to Wright when she heard ECTTS was opening. Wright's reply was quick: "If you will pay your fees for the first semester now, you may have the honor of being the first to register Miss Dowell was the first of many thousands to enroll at East Carolina. "In a remarkably short time, the teachers had sized up the situation and we were set off as A, B, and C classes, and the work was assigned wrote Vada Highsmith, historian for the first class. It was first planned to have the public celebration and inauguration of President Wright in connection with the opening of the school. Owing to an incompleteness of furnishings, however, this was deferred until Nov. 12. In the meantime, classes began on Thursday, Oct. 7. "It was real work from the very first Miss Highsmith wrote. "Despite the fact that we had no desks except benches borrowed from churches, no lights except small oil lamps, no maps, and no blackboards, the work went 'straight ahead like Mr. Frazier and his mules But all was not work. "We had merry times fixing up our new rooms, selecting closet curtains, and getting acquainted she wrote. "We were all green together, so of course, the greatest harmony prevailed A major topic of discussion early in the year was the fact that there were no rules. Wright wanted to begin with a clean slate, and rules would be written only when necessary. Alas said Miss Highsmith, "they were necessary, and all too soon. Until Dec. 6, we had no lights to give us the wink, and it was found that some girls did not know when to go to bed. They also did not know when to visit Experience soon taught the students when to go to meals and when to study, and that it was best not to leave the campus. So, the students had come, the work had begun, and the rules were written. East Carolina was in operation. pass into later memories By EDWARD BRODIE Picture a college professor chasing a railroad train. Picture Miss Lois Grigsby, all dressed up in her new white shoes, chasing after a train. Miss Grigsby, head of East Carolina News Bureau from 1937 to 1944, recalls it vividly. It was about graduation time she says, "and I had to gel the news out She always put the news directly on the train at the Greenville depot. This time she was late, and the train was already pulling out. "I caught it she said, "but it ruined my new shoes In the beginning, all the college news was written by Miss Mamie Jenkins, the college's first faculty member. 'When I came here in 1930 Miss Grigsby remembers, "Miss Jenkins was the News Bureau In 1937, Miss Jenkins was involved in an automobile accident, and Miss Grigsby was asked to take over the bureau for a year. "By that time, the bureau nac) a small closet in Old Austin, a typewriter, a desk, a memo machine, and a file she also had student help saic PITT PLAZA DAIRY BAR 2 Delicious Flavors of Ice Cream frYa delicious Banana Spit or Sundae By p Greenville Miss Grigsby increased the number of papers covered by the bureau, and expanded its coverage of college activities. "In each year she said, "we'd mail out enough news to make up a big book. Most of this went to The Daily Reflector and The News and Observer, but we sent material to other papers too Miss Jenkins interviewed and wrote about such people as Helen Keller, Ameilia Earhart, and adventurer Richard Halliburton. "Miss Jenkins' special project during her work with the bureau was The Teco Echo, ?? ?- - I r- - ?"i i rr t - r-1 i r ' v it OI tU I LUIKIIIUCU lO Jllppvjl L ll. Miss Grigsby recalls. "We used to joke that The Teco Echo lived off the news hook in our office Another thing Misses Jenkins and Grigsby did was to organize the Scribbler's Club for students who enjoyed writing, but it died out after a few years because they were too busy to keep it up. Miss Grigsby retired in 1965. "I'm still so busy I tell people I hardly know I've retired, except I don't have to meet classes or grade papers "I certainly was sorry to see memories be torn down she those many years of wonderful said.

Page 6, Fountainhead, December 9, 1969, Tuesday Overseas campus nears completion By JAMES HORD "Plans for an overseas campus are now approaching completion says Dr. Hans H. Indorf, director of the program. The campus will be located near Bonn, Germany and will be open to students who will be juniors by Sept. 1971. Full credit will be given by the University to students who participate in the program. The courses offered will lead to ECU degree reguirements. Student response to the "junior year abroad" has been "extremly favorable said Indorf. In a quest lonaire completed by freshmen students during registration last week, 91 per cent favored the overseas program. "The purpose of this experiment in education said Jndorf, "is to give ECU students a chance to enrich their educational experience by living and studying in a foreign society Approval for the overseas campus has been granted by Dr. Robert Williams, provost. Language requirement Knowledge of a foreign language will not be a prerequisite, since the courses will be taught in English. However, intensive study of a foreign language will be given if requested so that students may satisfy their language requirements for a degree. Indorf estimated the total cost of the program to be $2,500. This price would include tuition, room, board, textbooks, insurance and transportation to and from New York. The courses will be taught by ECU professors who will rotate on a quarterly basis so that students may have a wide course selection. Most of the courses offered will be m the student's major, w,th the social sciences probably predominating. A cognate minor in European studies is currently being studied which may be completed during the year abroad. "The sie of the first class is expected to be around 30 or 40 students said Indorf, "but it can be increased in the future if student interest is sufficient Current plans call for two extended trips to neighboring countries during the Christmas and Easter vacations. The location of the first campus will probably be a site overlooking the Rhine River, about 10 minutes from Bonn. "It is really a beautiful place said Indorf, "ar.ci is located near the cultural center of Europe.

Going into Wednesday night's game, the Pirates have added Western Carolina, Roanoke and Atlantic Christian to its list of victims. South Carolina, who was rated number one in the country in preseason polls, suffered its first loss of the year Saturday night to Tennessee. The Pirates opened their season last Monday against stern Carolina and had little trouble rolling up a 102 57 tory But against Roanoke, th( Bucs got into foul trouble earlv jn the second half and had t0 settle for a 78 75 win. Saturday night against Atlantic Christian, the Pirates came up on the top end of a 106-97 score in a foul marred contest. In winning their first three games, coach Tom Quinn's Pirates have been led by senior co-captain Jim Mod I in, forwards Jim Gregory and Jim Fairley and guard Tom Miller. Modlin, a starter for the past two seasons, had his biggest night of his career against Western Carolina when he broke the ECU single game scoring record with his 42 points while grabbing 20 rebounds.

In the opening meet of the season, the Penn State Swimming and Diving Championships the Pirate swimmers placed third behind Villanova and Maryland in the eight-team contest. Other teams participating were Penn State, LaSalle, West Virginia, Bucknell and Bethany. In its second meet of the season last Wednesday in Norfolk Va the Pirates swam Old Dominion out of its own natatorium with a 59-45 win. Against N. C. State in the home opener, East Carolina fought gallantly only to end up on the short end of a 67-42 score. The Wolfpack is the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion and last season finished 20th in the NCAA championships. "It was like a 6-2 guard in basketball going against Wilt Chamberlain coach Ray Scharf said after the meet.

It has become almost an annual ritual. B it this time the controversial programs of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) may be in serious trouble. or several years now, the OEO's critics in the House of Representatives have adopted the same strategy as the little boy who cut off his dog's tail an inch at a time so it wouldn't hurt so much. tlUh by inch, the concept of the OEO as an independent, creative agency operating outside the noimal local political structure is being whittled away by Congress. The fust whack was in 1967, when Rep. Edith Green, 0 Ore persuaded the House to let local governments take control of the community action agencies, if they so desired. This was a potentially disastrous blow. As it turned out, however, most local governments did not want control of the community action agencies. At last report, almost 95 per cent of the existing agencies had been left independent rather than annexed by city or county governments. Now Mrs. Green and Rep. Albert Ouie, R Minn are trying .mother approach aimed at sanitizing the OEO. They are proposing an amendment to this year's OEO bill that would turn control of the agency's programs over to state governments. Tin.1 state control amendment has powerful support from Republicans and Southern Democrats. So powerful, in fact, thai House leaders have delayed action on the $2.3 billion OEO authorization bill for at least two weeks in hopes of f.ghting off the amendment. Presumably, the Nixon administration is opposed to the amendment, which Ouie introduced on the House fluoi Tuesday, Dec. ?, without warning. The Presidenl ha? asked for a two year extension of the OEO, as provid&d n the bill, and has promised the agency's new director, formei congressman Donald Rumsfield, this much time to improve the antipoverty program. Rumsfeld and othei backers of the present OEO concept ontend thai the Ouie amendment would destroy the agency's effectiveness and make the antipoverty effort just another :ii ally dominated suif; program. Bui the Presidenl will have to make a major effort to get Republican votes if he hopes to defeat the amendment. A cjn :i many congressmen consei vatives, moderates and even some liberals look upon state control as a means of making the wai on poverty less politically explosive. These congressmen have become increasingly nervous about reports of misused funds, poor administration, high costs and emingly radical activities in some of the OEOfmanced antipoverty programs. Then theory on state control is to put the community i tion agencies under a branch of government that is close enough to ride herd on them, to be more responsive to local needs and to dispense money. The OEO would deal with the state- government, not with local agencies, and would be the weade. party in case of a dispute. Opponents of the Quie amendment see only disaster in state control. They fear that funds would be allocated to local agencies in accordance with the governor's political obligations. They also know state control would put an end to efforts that are encouraging the poor to assert their rights and needs before local officials. They foresee, too, that some programs might be revised hecome mere channels for pouring more federal money into regular city or county functions. And in the Deep South, they fear, funds might be diverted from the black poor, who most need help. As one defender of the OEO put it, "Can't you just imagine what Gov. Lester Maddox would do with the antipoverty programs in Georgia? Or George Wallace, if he's elected governor of Alabama again?" Mayors of larger citites are especially opposed to the amendment. They have found state governments insensitive to their needs in the past and would rather take their chances with the OEO, despite the bureacratic irritations involved. Nevertheless, some backers of the Quie amendment argue that state governments would have a better chance of running the antipoverty programs effectively than Washington has. State officials could not be any more insensitive, they say, than the bureaucrats in OEO's regional offices, who are accused of stifling local ideas and initiative. Actually, the state governors have a minor role in the OEO program now. Each governor has a federally financed state economic opportunity office at his command to review local programs. He also has a veto over OEO programs coming into his state. But his veto can be overridden and sometimes is by the OEO director in Washington. The only exception is the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), for which the governor's veto is absolute. Most governors have, however, accepted the bulk of the OEO programs. Since the war on poverty began about 1964, only 69 local programs out of thousands have been vetoed. Nineteen of the vetoes later were withdrawn by the governors after negotiation, 25 were honored by the OEO and 16 were overridden by Washington. The chief nay sayer has been Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, who has vetoed 14 programs. He later withdrew six of these, had four sustained by the OEO, and we" overridden on four. Until Gov. Robert Scott disapproved of a VISTA program in Johnston County earlier this year, no North Carolina governor had vetoed an OEO program for the state. Scott later resolved that controversy with the OEO. Considering the tolerance most governors have demonstrated for the antipoverty programs, then, it could be argued that few changes would result from state control. Under the Quie amendment, state control would still be optional. Some governors might refuse this responsibility-as mayors and county commissioners did under the 1967 amendment-and thereby avoid involvement with a politically controversial program. But most governors and state governments, by their very nature, are too acquisitive to turn down such an opportunity. In most instances, they could be expected to reshape the antipoverty programs in accord with their own needs and concepts. Food service strike ends CHAPEL HILL (AP) A tentative agreement was reached Sunday to end the month-long food service workers' strike at UNC-CH. Shortly after agreement was reached, union officials began trying to stop what they said was an expected gathering of 2,000 students from neighboring colleges who had been called to demonstrate in support of the strikers. Jim Pierce of Charlotte, Southeast area director of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employes said he expected several hundred students to reach the campus but that it would be "a joyous v victory celebration instead of a protest demonstration Pierce said workers would return to their jobs today. "We got almost everything we asked for Pierce said. He said the only important point which the union failed to win was a proposed hike in the minimum wage to $2.25 an hour. The contract proposed a $1.80 minimum. Under the terms of the tentative agreement, all workers who had been dismissed immediately before the strike and during the strike will be rehired. Any worker who loses his ob with Saga as a result of planned reduction of personnel will be assured of a job by the University. These were the two points which had held up settlement.

DDT seriously threatens sea-life BEAUFORT (AP) - Marine scientists at Duke University say that if the DDT level in estuaries continues to increase, it will pose a serious threat to the larvae of crabs, shrimp, and all fish. Two scientists from Duke's marine laboratory here said their research indicates ordiannly non fatal amounts of the insecticide introduced into estuary feeding grounds may kill off generations of important species of ocean life. The experiments were conducted by Dr. C.G. Bookout, acting director of Duke's oceanographic program at Beaufort, and Dr. John D. Costlow, director of the marine laboratory. "Our studies indicate that DDT is a threat to estuarine larvae of crabs, shrimp and all fish and that if DDT levels in estua ries continue to increase, we are in serious trouble Dr. Bookout said. j jrOCHiCO.

Ordinance is unjustf commentary For the purpose of educating the Greenville "town fathers the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is hereby presented. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances tb And also presented for the "town fathers" is th bit of information. Greenville city ordinances are subordinate to the federal constitution. Two former students, Miss Daisy Albritton and Miss Mitch Marshall were arrested for attaching posters to utility poles. The posters were advertising the appearance fo the Rev. Ralph Abernathy in Raliogh Saturday. The Greenville ordinance concerning attaching posters to utility poles is ridiculous but nevertheless, it is an ordinance. The problem we find here is that this ordinance is not always enforced. This editor has often seen signs advertising the Pitt County Fair, the American Red Cross blood mobile and the candidac of county and state officials on utility poles. This ordinance is ridiculous but "Ordinance No. 330" reallv takes the cake. According to the ordinance, it is illegal for any person to ride in a car with one or more other people if the car displays political stickers. People riding in cars with headlights burring during the daytime (as witnessed when Nixon supporters burned their lights to show support for the President's Vietnam policy) can be arrested. American Legionaires might be arrested for displaying poppies on Veterans' Day. Young children may be forced into applying for a permit three days before they go out Christmas carolling. After all, a "parade" as defined by the ordinance "is any assemblage of two or more persons participating in any march, ceremony, show, exhibition or procession of any kind in or upon the public streets etc. In addition, they could be arrested because they are "making known a position or promotion of such persons, or on behalf of any orgainzation or class of persons By Christmas carolling, they are making known their belief in Jesus Christ and they are promoting the orgainization of the Christain church. Therefore, they are liable to arrest unless they have a permit. Something must be done and it must be done now to strike this atrocious ordinance from the law books. Until it is, the rights provided in the First Amendment are not ours. The charade of the past week presents an interesting case study in the politics of confrontation as practiced by the "left of center" segmenis in contemporary American society. The key facet of such politics is the utilization or fabrication of an issu1? in the hope that the administration and police agency cone rned will overreact and provide an emotional, newsworthy incident, 1 hereby providing both publicity and a certain degree of sympathy for whatever movement is being advocated. This took place in Greenville over the past week. If one wer to accept the assertions of GAP, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and their advocates, it would appear to be a straightforward case of local administration and police bigotry towards an idealistic, innocent group of civil libertarians. The matter is patently not that simple. The incident of the initial arrest of the two girls and the subsequent campus reaction was not, in any respect spontaneous. The response from the participating organizations was equally interesting. I was fascinated by the speed with which news of the arrests spread, enabling GAP and its affiliates to produce we 11 w r i 11 en, mimeographed handbills presenting the "movement's view" of the incident, organize an information table with a rather extensive variety of literature, recruit people to distribute the handbills and leterature, and organize the march for that same day, to say nothing of coordinating their activities with the local ACLU chapter and SCLC representatives- ALL BY THE TIME CLASSES COMMENCED A FEW HOURS LATER! The resulting marches and the reaction to them were virtually a foregone conclusion. Two factors were clarified by those events: the primary By ALAN SABROSKY factor motivating the campus participants, and the lack of a realistic appreciation by the Greenville administration and police of the weakness of the protesters The most notable feature of the participants from ECU was then uniform desire for publicity. The validity such as it might have been, of the "issue" was of secondary importance to the general hope of personal and group notoriety. One has the distinct impression that egotism, not idealism, was the group's hallmark. The handling of the affair b the Greenville administration and police was awkward and unfortunate. By reacting precisely as the radicals wanted them to do both in the initial arrest of the girls and the the subsequent reaction the the Thursday m arch t hese agencies provided an aura of strength and importance to an orgainzation of extremely minor significance. I he ent ire incident was unfortunate. The leaders of concerned campus organizations should, if truly interested in improving local concitions, avoid their flights of idea logical rhetoric and concentrate on concrete issues such as low-quality food service on campus or inadequate housing conditions i n certain off campus areas. In like fashion, the Greenville administration and police should recognize that certain laws arc outdated and unnecessary, and that certain practices require modification and reform. They should not respond to inconsequential poster-pasting or marching by a few dissidents with senseless arrests and passing ordinances of doubtful validity and enforceability, as these only grant stature to, and gain support for, a numerically insignificant minority. Reform ind pi ogress can and must be made. It must be recognized that organizations such as GAP have no more strength and influence than administrations are willing to grant them; their minute, albeit vocal piotest are allowed to proceed without such i n t erference or administrative overreaction as would gain publicity for their actions, such movements atrophy, thereby avowing responsible individuals to concentrate on concrete problems. solvinc CountAinhea ' C7 I P f' ' h.i, ? maka urn fro? )Bn rnakp you free Paul F.
