SAT's importance is coming not high at ecu By Karen Blandsfield Staft Writer This year's Carousel Weekend promises to be one of fun and excitement, with the schedule of events including a play, concerts, a film festival and a dance. The fun will begin at 8:15 p.m. thursday evening with the presentation of "Your Own Thing" in Wright Auditorium. This play is a modern rock musical version of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night It has been a trmemndous success since its opening in New York two years ago, and has been preformed throughout the country, as well as in several foreign countries. Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is the story of a young girl named Viola, who is shipwrecked on the shores of the strange never-never land of lllyria. She finds it advisable to disguise herself as a boy, and thus puts a barrier to winning the love of Count Orsino.with whom she gets employment as a page. She also gets unwanted tenders from Olivia, whom Orsino is trying unsuccessfully to woo. In "Your Own Thing the lllyria where Viola arrives after her shipwreck is New York City. Seeking employment, she calls herself Charley and gets a job as a singer with Orson, manager of a rock band called the Apocalypse, in which the draft has just created an opening. Sebastian, her dresses-alikt twin brother, whom she thought to be drowned in the shipwreck, turns up and is also hired by Orson, who thinks he has hired only one of them. Sebastian falls in love with Olivia, who is the owner of the discotheque where the and Olivia, rock quartette is playing, thinking Viola is a boy, falls m love with her. The peak of the jest is the shocked realization of Orson that he is hopelessly in love (continued on page 3) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are less important than high school averages in determining who is admitted to ECU, according to Dr. John Home, dean of admissions. High school scholastic average and class rank carry at least twice as much weight as SAT scores in the consideration of applicants, said Home. Late winter is the busiest time of the year for the admissions office, with approximately 3,000 SAT scores arriving each month. Beginning in November, when the first SAT are given in high schools, and continuing until summer, the office will receive approximately 15,000 scores. Of these 15,000 students approximately 6,300 wil class, actually apply. And of these 6,300 applicants, only 2,500 to 2,700 will be admitted to the 197071 freshman according to Home. Much attention is paid to a low verbal score on the SAT as it could indicate reading weaknesses and an inability to cope with heavy reading assignments in college, said Home. ECU freshmen tend to have slightly higher scores on the math section of SAT than on the verbal section, he added. Home said t hat the minimum combined SAT score for an in-state applicant is 800, whereas the out-of state minimum is 1,000. He said that the average combined score for ECU freshmen is 980, he added.

' After a specified date, no other student entering college can claim a draft deferment on the basis of education. However, a sophomore, junior, or senior with an existing draft deferment when the new rules gc into effect will be permitted to complete his undergraduate schooling. This is the thinking of Pentagon officials who have been shaping the Administration's proposals to do away with draft deferments in the student, occuparional, and parental categories. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said last weekend President Nixon "wants to move in the direction so that all young people are treated equally and fairly Proposed measures to carry out this objective will be reviewed by the National Security Council and laid before the Senate Armed Services Committee next month with indications the administration will put them into effect as soon as possible. Officials said young men having occupational and parental deferments at the time the more stringent rules take hold will be allowed to retain them. Unlike the student deferment, which officials say will permit exceptions for pre-medical students, there appears to be no prospect of any further deferments for job or family reasons except where hardship might be involved. Pirates to host Belmont By SONNY LEA Spnrts Editoi ECU's Pirates will be out to stop a two game losing streak Wednesday night when they host Belmont Abbey in Minges Coliseum. The Pirates, who suffered losses to nationally ranked Davidson and N.C. State last week, have a season record of eight wins and seven losses. Coach Tom Quinn's Pirates fell to Davidson, 91-76 and lost to N.C. State, 100-81 in the two games last week. Torn Mill, was outstanding in the two games for the Pirates scoring 61 points, including a varsity career high of 32 against State. His performance Thursday night against the Wolfpack, in a game which was much closer than the score indicates, prompted N.C. State Coach Norman Sloan to say, "He is one of the best outside shooters we have faced this season. Or should I say, he is the best outside shooter we have faced Miller also drew praise from Quinn on his performance Thursday night. 'Miller does everything for us, Quinn said. "He directs the offense, sets-up our defense, calls the shots and scores for us in the backcourt. "I haven't seen a guard as good as him this year. And that includes guards in the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southern Conference With two games, Miller is now the Pirates leading scorer going into the game with Belmont Abbey wiht a 19.1 average. The 6-0 senior from Oxon Hill, Md is also the team's leader in assists. Jim Modlin, who scored 21 Points and grabbed 13 rebounds against the Wolfpack, is averaging 18.7 points per game and 9.4 rebounds. Sophomore Jim Fairley is averaging 14.9 points per game and is leading the team in rebounding wiht a 10.9 mark. Fairley was the runner-up for player of the week honors in the Southern Conference last week. Jim Gregory rounds out the scoring leaders with a 14.1 mark and through 15 games has grabbed an average of 9.8 rebounds.

In announcing the random selection process, President Njxon said, "I would say that looking to the future. . .we shall not be satisfied until we finally can have the system Whjcn I advocated during the campaign of a completely volunteer armed forces But Nixon has also said institution of a volunteer army is not feasible until the Vietnam War is ended, and, at the current rate of troop withdrawal, that isn't likely to ppen very soon. And though the President has made the volunteer army one of his pal issues, negative reports from a special presidential commission on the armed forces or the National Security Council-both of which are studying the concept of a volunteer army-could postpone further any executive action on the plan. So the burden for any quick change rests with Congress. Sen. John Stennis, chairman of the Armed Services mittee, promised last fall that his group would open tensive hearings on the draft ii, mid February. Stennis gave the promise in exch inge for a pledge from ate draft critics, including Sen. Edward Kennedy, that they would approve a revision the Selective Service Act to it the lottery without ting othei aspects of the ? ; . The administration d quick approval of the so it could be put in ii 1970. the lottery, approved ! 3 in the House, was ? I by a voice vote in the ite largely because it temed probably more far-reaching reforms could be debated fully this year. Reforms to be contemplated include abolishment of the student deferments, establishment of alternate service in social work for those who oppose military service in a particular war, forbidding the assignment of a non-volunteer to Vietnam, and establishment of a volunteer army except when Congress declares war. A recent poll taken by the Christian Science Monitor indicated a strong majority of legislators in both houses favored .all-volunteer armed services. But a good majority predicted also the volunteer concept wouldn't be instituted until after the Vietnam War. 50 percent of the representatives and 30 percent of the senators responded to the survey. Representatives Edward Koch, Shirley Chisholm and Leonard Farberstein, all New York Democrats, offered amendments to the lottery proposal during the fall. They are expected to renew their assault on the Selective Service. Koch's proposed legislation would permit selective conscientious objection" to wars and would give amnesty to those who have fled to Canada or are currently in jail as a result of draft resistance. Student leaders, including Dan Siegel, student body president of California at Berkeley and Charles Palmer, NSA president, have spoken out against the lottery's alleged unfairness in deterring students, who, by virtue of their affluence, are more likely to avoid conscription than the poor and black. Currently, approximately two thirds of the military's manpower needs are met by volunteers, and since 1950 the Navy, Air Force, National Guard, Coast Guard and Marines have been maintained almost exclusively by volunteers. If the Congress does not enact significant reforms in 1970, prospects appear bleak for 19 year olds under under the lottery system in 1971. This year's pool consists of 19-26 year olds, but 1971's pool will consist only of 19 year-olds plus those losing student or occupational deferments. If 1971 's draft call is in the neighborhood of 200,000-which it has been during the past th ree years-ther, virtually every 1 A 19 year old who isn't in school will be drafted. According to Capt. William Pascoe, Selective Service Chief Information Officer, about 1.8 million will turn 19 during 1970, qualifying them for the 1970 pool and a lottery number. About half that number will be unfit, either physically or mentally. Subtracting those who receive deferments, those who volunteer for other services, and those who take steps to avoid the draft, the total remaining-plus graduating seniors-may very well not be enough to meet the year's draft call. If the total isn't enough, Pascoe said, the Selective Service would induct those who turn 19 during 1971. These people, who wouldn't have lottery numbers, would ordinarily be included in the 1972 pool. If more men were needed, he said, this order of induction would be followed: 1. Kennedy husbands-those deferred for being married prior to 1965. 2. non-volunteers 26 and older. 3. 18M-19 years olds. In the meantime, the 1970 draft will receive the close W. C.

January's draft call is 12,500. According to Pascoe, this decision is the result of a desire among Selective Se.vice officials to maintain eveness in lottery numbers being called throughout the country. He said no conclusions should be made that this indicates all 366 lottery numbers will be reached in 1970 in all parts of the country. It has not been decided yet whether a similar limitation will be called for in February, he said. Many state directors have predicted all or nearly all lottery numbers will reached this year.

Committee- big disappointment thT a ItV Senate has deeded th,t there is noih, y oL now to give the students a reading day be winter and spring quarter exams This ? understandable as they stalled long enough last year to nuke reading days impossible this year Schofield also told the Legislature that the Calendar Committee "seems favorable" to having reading days next year. Big deal. Thanks a lot. Calendar Committee, f?Tnishcomm,ttee seems to assume the proposal of a reedfog day is a new thing. The truth of the matter hat the SGA proposed a reading dav;ea? year for such days to be planned in the calendar for this so now they are Still undecided as to whether the students will have the reading day privilege next year And they will probably keep on deliberating until it is impossible to incorporate reading days into next yea. s WhaT'nonchalance! What total disregard of student wishes! . . The student body here has overwhelmingly approved reading days. They approved of them in student polls held about a year ago. This year they voiced overwhelming support in another poll. And yet, the Calendar Committee has not made definitive plans for reading days next year. The benefits of a reading day have been expounded in this column too many time to be repeated. The benefits bvious to the students who are interested in bettering the educational process here. The SGA has voiced support for a reading day. This newspaper has endorsed the idea. The student body has shown strong support for the day. Thus, we can assume one thing; the Calendar Committee could give a tinker's damn what the students think. If this committee does not act soon and definitively to initiate reading days for the 1970-71 school year, the Faculty Senate should abolish the committee and put in its place a group of professors who are sensitive to responsible student requests. If the Calendar Committee waits much longer, they will be able to give the students that same old response that t ;s too late to do anything about reading days. Something must be done now. If the Calendar Committee does not do it, then the Faculty Senate should. . .and must.
