Associate Editor
the KEY concerning the
Publications Board: Through
decisions of this group,
contracts are let, editors are
selected, salaries are set, and
plans for the publications are
approved The Publications
Board did unanimously agree
to the $835 figure concerning
the salaries of the staff of the
REBEL. As you well know,
this board is composed of
editors, business managers, and
managing editors of the four
student publications as well as
their advisors, plus three
members of this body, the
President of the Student
Government, and members of
the administration.
OUTSTANDING BOARD
I would like to bring out a
point which is probable not
common knowledge. There is a
member of the Publications
Board who has worked with
the New York Times. A
member of the Publications
Board is the current President
of Alpha Phi Gamma, the
National Journalism
Fraternity, and who in his own
right is quilt well known and
respected in his field.
FACULTY APPROVAL
The faculty members of this
Board are quite experienced in
the real m of student
publications. They felt that the
salaries provided for in the
REBEL budget were adequate
and sufficient. However, this
body made a drastic cut; and,
as yet, no one has explained to
me the reasons for this cut.
The only reason I have heard is
!t i??qc 'tho will of the
? hot
It IU l
majority Some people may
say that this in itself is
sufficient, but 'the will of the
majority' must have substantial
reasons or it is the will of no
one.
A second fault I find :n this
bill is that several, not just one,

What happens to the money the students here
md during a quarter? What proportional share
students have in the various programs of this
'itution?
D. Duncan vice-president and business
Hnager, presented the following breakdown of
b
jistration $10.00
Ition for in-state residents73.00
lit ion for out of state residents 317.00
Wical and General7.00
?om rent (dorm studerts only) 77.00
Jndry (dorm students only)5.00
idem activity fee 10.00
ther university fees 34.00
These fees and tuition are effective fall,
VO. Duncan stated that state law requires
it the registration and tuition be deposited in
General Fund of the State of North Carolina.
t of the General Fund, which includes tax
ney, registration from state-supported schools
ld the like, the State Legistature appropriates a
?tain amount of money to each school.
SOURCES OF MONEY
There is no way to tell how much of this
3ney comes from the student's tuition and
B9istration fees, and how much from other
ources. Once the monev is received by the
Ichool, it is used for instructors' and
pdministrators' salaries, supplies, and equipment
Upkeep on the buildings and grounds.
The Medical and General fee goes to the
MOONEYHAM
ountainhead
infirmary. According to an infirmary source, this
money is its only source of income. It covers all
the medical attention supplied to the students,
salaries of the doctors and nurses, maintenance
of the building, and all related necessities.
The room rent goes to the housing office. It is
used for the operation and upkeep of the dorms.
This again, is its only source of income. The
same is true of the laundry fee. It goes to the
laundry office to cover, along with the
expenditures of students throughout the quarter,
all laundry expenses.
ACTIVITY FEE
According to Duncan, the student activity fee
is given entirely to the SGA. The SGA is solely
responsible for the handling of this money. The
association is also entrusted with the receipts
brought in by ticket sales and service charges
from the programs for which it is responsible.
These programs include those of the Artist
Series, Popular Entertainment Series, and the
ECU Playhouse.

DOUBTFUL DECISION
I have heard some doubts as
o the nature of the decision
nade by the Appropriations
Committee concerning this. I
have been told that when the
jtudent G overnment
Xssociation Treasurer left the
kppropriations Committee
?needing concerning the
EBEL budget cut, only a
Vinor cut had been made; and
much to his surprise, quite a
Substantial cut was brought out
)n the floor. As to the wisdom
pf the decision to cut the
salaries, it may have been
Arbitrary.
Another question I find
juite disheartening was that
.when the budget was brought
jpon the floor, someone in the
Ddy asked where the editor of
fhe REBEL was. No one came
forth to answer this question,
Bnd it was stated that if the
editor did not care enough
jbout his publication, then
should the Legislature be so
concerned with it? I find this
lisheartening because that very
corning I approached a
member of the body and
related to him information that
Ithe editor of the publication
?concerned told me , and this
?was, he was to be in Raleigh all
I day and most of the night
concerning layout for the
Iupcoming issue and asked that
the salary request be put off
another week as had been done
previously.
wwv en en ENT7
lilt I "? ? ?? ?? ?? " ?
I related this information to
Ithe appropriate source, but I
task now why was this in-
f ormat'ion not brought out
on the floor when the question
concerning it was delivered?
It is the duty of this body to
legislate for the students. It is
their responsibility and
obligation to an oath that they
shall try to represent the
majority of the students on
this campus. This is not in
effect saying that you, as
individuals, legislate for all the
members of the academic
community because you can't.
One of the very first facts that
I learned upon assuming office
was that you can never do
anything for everyone, so this
brings up a very important
question. Is the REBEL or any
other agency of the Student
Government Association for
everyone? I contend that it is
not. Just as the FOUNTAIN
HEAD serves a function, just as
the Popular Entertainment
Committee serves a function,
the REBEL serves a
function-not for everyone, for
everyone is not artistically
inclined-but it serves a
function and a very valuable
one at that. It is trying to bring
into a world of technological
specialization a bit of the
romantic. Just as science has
delved into the mysteries of
man's mind, the REBEL delves
into the mysteries of man's
soul. Without a literary
magazine this school would
become a very barren
institution.
The purpose of the
university is to educate, to
provoke the thought processes
of an individual's mind. This
involves much more than
memorization for a test, the
mere writing of a paper. This
involves all facets of all human
activities.
NO REBEL?
I am not so concerned with
the past performance of the
literary magazine; although,
they are important, I am more
concerned with the effect that
no REBEL would have.
Granted, many students would
not miss it, but would many
students miss a Student
Government Association
either? My aim is not to
provide something for
everyone, but it is for
something for everyone on this
campus who wants it.
There has been talk in the
last few weeks as to what the
Legislature has done. It
represents a form of census.
This may be a bit far-fetched,
but if this body continues its
present path, there will be no
agency of the Student
Government Association that
would not fear its parent body.
As we all know, fear often
breeds contempt and
passiveness. To become men of
the world we cannot allow
passiveness to enter into our
actions. We must take full
responsibilities for educating
ourselves and our fellow
students, or at least give them
an opportunity to educate
themselves.
SGA FUNCTION
Another question which I
have heard is that the REBEL
provides no function for the
Student Government; and here
I take issue, because I believe
that it does. Just as our
participation at the North
Carolina State Student
Legislature and the various
Model United Nations and the
other conferences we attend
provides us with better
information, resources, and
acquaintances that can be used
to their greatest affect, the
REBEL as well falls into this
category. For if you have ever
noticed the copyright of the
REBEL, it belongs to the
Student Government
Association. The REBEL
brings a reputation to itself. It,
therefore, brings a reputation
to the Student Government
and this is highly important
because we are fast becoming a
highly respected and listened
to body. We have a number of
friends in this state; likewise
we have a number of enemies,
but they all listen to us.
I could go on and on saying
why, in my opinion, the $500
salary cut of the REBEL is
unwise; but what I have said I
think will suffice.
I now ask that a motion
come from the floor reinstating
the $500 salary cut. For if you
cut the salary of an individual,
he will cease to work at what
he is capable of working at;
and when you do this, the task
he performs for you falls in
quality and interest. I,
therefore, respectfully ask you
to reconsider this
SGA TREASURER GARY GASPERINI urged legislators
to reconsider their decision.

to the veto, Jim Watts,
chairman of the appropriations
committee said, "I have been
wrongfully accused of axe
murdering every appropriations
bill that has come before this
committee, yet when this bill
first came to my committee, I,
with the committee members,
voted to accept the $835 bill.
"The bill was sent to the
floor, but the legislature asked
that it be reconsidered. The
appropriations committee took
this tabling motion as a
mandate to reduce the amount
which had been requested
because the legislature
indicated they were not
satisfied
Continuing his opposition,
Watts said, "Now, Mr.
Schofield has vetoed the bill.
He is well aware of the fact
that this legislature voted
unanimously on the REBEL
salary appropriations bill.
i? atifara tKat the
"Me is aibu aware "??? ??-
Treasurer has also signed
checks in excess of the
appropriations of this
legislature
ILLEGAL ACTS
Attacking Schofield, Watts
said, "What Mr. Schofield seeks
to do is to uphold and condone
the illegal acts of the executive
branch.
"He asks that you join him
and his men in flawing the
SGA constitution and by so
doing debase the time honored
customs which this SGA
expresses.
"He has the audacity to asK
this body to say that we were
wrong in approving this bill.
Now do what he tells us to
LEGISLATORS VOTED TO
call vote on the veto.
Watts contended that the
legislature had not made the
wrong ueciaivn. no ow.i?
the salaries of the editors of
the Rebel, Fountainhead and
the Buccaneer. He cited that,
according to the number of
pages of each publication and
the number of their
publications each year, that the
salary paid the ed'tor of the
REBEL is too high in
proportion to the salary of the
two other editors.
Many men in New Men's
Dorm have told me that they
are firmly against the REBEL,
and they would like to see the
magazine discontinued, Watts
continued.
Watts said, "I thought this
was a bit far out, but they
instructed me to vote as I did,
and in so voting I fullfilledmy
obligation to the people who
elected me.
"STACKED"
Watts stated that the
Publications Board could not
make fair judgements
concerning the campus
publications, because the board
is "stacked
He said, 'Three or four
officers from each publication
who help comprise the board
scratch each other's back.
Watts asked the legislators to
join him in voting against "this
veto which reeks of corruption
and debasement of the SGA
The legislature sustained the
veto by a roll call vote of 21 to
9, killing the bill, thus making
it possible for another
appropriation bill to the Rebel
to be introduced.
A bill which would
appropriate $835 to the Rebel
for winter quarter staff salaries
end debate and hold a role
was submitted to the chair
before the meeting, and was to
be introduced on the floor, but
the legislators voted in favor of
adjourning instead of
considering the bill during the
special session.
Schofield made a statement
concerning the charges brought
against him in an interview
with R. Grant Range of WECU.
ALLEGATION
Schofield said, 'Tonight in a
legislature meeting, Mr. Watts
has made an allegation that I
asked the legislature to
condone an illegal action. I
wish to take issue very strongly
with Mr. Watts.
"I have been called a lot of
things in this past year, but
never have I been accused of
condoning an illegal action.
"I take it as a grave personal
affront upon my integrity as a
man, and upon the oath I took
April 1. 1969 tc uphold the
constitution.
RHETORIC WIZARDRY
"I think Mr. Watts was
dealing with nothing more than
rhetorical wizardry. If Mr.
Watts has action and proof that
I have condoned an illegal
action, I demand that he bring
it forth or show just cause why
he should not issue an apology
to the executive branch of the
SGA.
"My actions tonight were
based upon a unanimous vote
of the Publications Board, and
as stated in the Key, part of
their duties are to set the
salaries of the publications. So
therefore, H Mr. Watts takes
issue with my integrity, let him
bring it forth

'Macbeth'performance proves Shakespeare is 'for all time'
By F. DAVID SANDERS
Special to Fountainhead
To Ben Jonson. Shakespeare
"was not of an age, but for all
time and the frequency with
which Shakespeare's plays are
performed 400 years later
attests to the accuracy of the
statement.
To make sure a play appeals
to a 20th century audience, the
director and the actors have
the privilege-even the
Jresponsibility-to stress that in
? the play which will make it
relevant and to excise or play
down the rest.
After all, many of
Shakespeare's plays, if
performed in their entirety,
would comsume almost twice
the time we feel comfortable in
theater seats. His own
company cut his plays for
performance.
POINT OF VIEW
The most one can ask of a
?production is that it develop a
consistent point of view, true
?at least to what is in the text of
the play. Within these limits
Jfall the melancholy and the
?existential Hamlet, the anti-war
?Troilus, the nihilistic Lear.
Macbeth (which somehow
(survives continued diluting in
high school classes) is
Shakespeare's statement about
Bman's meeting up with evil in
Tthe universe and in his own
nature.
The protagonist is a man of
some age, a great military hero
who, urged on by the witches'
prophecy, his own ambition,
and his wife's proddmg, cannot
wait for chance to crown him
king. Instead, and against his
own conscience, he takes
matters into his own hands and
kills King Duncan.
VICTIM OF SELF
Having once taken this
decisive step, he must then kill
all who stand in his way. Each
murder becomes easier to
-commit, because he becomes
victimized by the evil in
himself.
Blinded by his own desires,
he cannot see that each act will
have its inevitable consequence
in his own soul, and eventually
he steps beyond the pale of
humanity. When he slaughters
Macduff's family he commits
his most horrible crime, which
triggers the counterplot of
Macduff and Malcolm against
him and ultimately brings on
his own physical destruction.
In the Playhouse
production, Claude Woolman
plays Macbeth as a younger,
low-key villain-hero, and plays
him with great credibility. His
Macbeth is a young man with
professional ambitional

ladder of success by trampling
on anyone in his way.
Amanda Muir's Lady
Macbeth is consistent with
Woolman's characterization; in
fact, the whole court is a
generation or so younger than
it is usually played. This is a
valid shifting of emphasis and
in general works well with the
college-age cast, but it does
have its drawbacks.
SPRING PICNICS
Lady Macbeth comes on
stage like a spring picnic,
decked out in a long blond wig;
she has even been picking
flowers. Presented with this

Until her touching
sleepwalking scene. Miss Muir
remains too much the lady to
become the power behind
Macbeth's getting the throne.
Even for Macbeth (who rightly
throws away many of his lines)
this reduction in stature makes
the great gloomy speeches less
profound and horrible.
In fact, with this
interpretation, the whole tragic
horror of the play is reduced.
Compensation for this must be
made by a faster than usual
pace, which this production
does not always have.
MORE CREDIBLE
Be that as it may, the
interpretation is consistent and
it works fairly well. But then
the supernatural is dropped:
the witches are transformed
into spirits of dead soldiers (as
being more credible to a
modern audience) and the
scope of the play loses another
dimension. There should be

Precautions needed to view eclipse
Those interested in
observing or photographing the
solar eclipse on March 7 must
take necessary precautions to
protect their eyes.
Eastman Kodak Company
worns that looking at the
unshielded face of the sun with
the naked eye or through any
optical device, such as the
viewfinder of a camera, can
seriously damage the eye.
Adequate protection means
looking at the sun through a
material which will not only
reduce the visible energy of the
sun for comfort, but which
equally and sufficiently
reduces die invisible ultraviolet
and infrared radiation which
can cause instant damage,
including blindness, without
the person's being aware of it.
ERRONEOUS SUGGESTIONS
Kodak warns that some
erroneous recommendations of
filtering material have been
made. One erroneous
suggestion involves use of
crossed polarizing elements
which absorb only the visible
rays, not the dangerous
infrared rays.
Medical authorities suggest
that a neutral density filter of

density will provide adequate
protection when placed in
front of the eyes before facing
the sun.
Such a filter can be made
with two thicknesses of
black and white film (do nol
use color film) which has been
completely exposed and fully
developed to maximum
density.
SERIOUS HISK
It can be prepared by
unrolling it and subjecting the
film to daylight and full
development according to the
manufacturer's directions.
According to George T.
Keene, a photographic engineer
at Kodak, "the thousands of
photographers who train their
comeras on the March 7 solar
eclipse will risk 'serious, even
permanent damage to their
eyes' if they neglect necessary
precautions
The 85 mile wide path of
totality of the eclipse will run
across northern Florida and up
the southeast coast of the

BLINDNESS POSSIBLE
"Negligence Keene says,
"will result in almost certain
damage to the etina of the
eye. It is possible that only one

H e a dded that full
precautions should be taken
especially if the equipment
used permits a view of the sun
through the main imaging lens,
as in a single or twin lens reflex
camera, or in certain zoom
lenses or telescopes equipped
for reflex viewing.
In viewing or taking photos
of either the total or the partial
eclipse, according to Keene, it
is well to remember this
rhyme, "Filter nearest the sky
to protect eye
ADEQUATE FILTER
This means in practice that
an adequate filter must be in
front of any and all optics,
whether they be telescope,
lens, finder, eyeglasses, or
binoculars. Any other position
of the filter in the system, such
as between the camera finder
and the eye, would be
hazardous.
The danger of eye damage is
increased for those persons
photographing in areas where
the sun will be completely
eclipsed. When photographing
the total eclipse, the neutral
density material MUST be used
during the early or partial
stages, and it must then be
removed to permit sufficient
exposure of the prominences
or corona. Then it must be
replaced in front of the lens in
time to prevent burning or eye
damage after the sun starts to
reappear.

Medical authorities warn
that simple sunglasses will not
work.
Keene suggested that anyone
planning to photograph the
eclipse shoot a test roll of
photos on a sunny day before
the eclipse, varying the
exposures, and using the same
film and filters that they plan
to use on the day of the
eclipse.
On Eclipse Day, bring a
camera, plenty of color film, a
tripod and proper filters. Then,
when nature gives the signal,
start shooting.
Staging and acting in Macbeth
are consistently effective
(continued from page b)
evil supernatural forces at work
in this play.
And as this happens, the
spectacle tacked onto the text
increases. There is too much
flag waving and too many birds
chirping. The three spirits pop
up where they don't
belong (or at least where
Shakespeare didn't want
them), and finally Macbeth,
denied of dying in the noble
Greek fashion offstage is slain
right before our eyes and has
to be carried off. It's as if
someone didn't trust the Bard's
(or the Greeks') judgement m
the matter. It's a spectacle for
the sake of spectacle.
The veteran actors in the
show(Woolman, Miss Muir, and
Sneden) perform their roles
beautifully. John Sneden, in
his one short Porter's scene,
gets all possible humor,
meaning, and tone from his
lines. Many of the other parts,
however, are weak and only
mechanically support the lead
actors.
Otto Henry's original music,
performed on the moog
synthesizer, helps convey
throughout,the tension of the
action, the unearthly
atmosphere, and the less than
human, almost mechanical
compulsion under which
Macbeth falls. All this makes
the drama effective in itself.
Why all the added spectacle to
distract and detract from it?

Harriers compete
By LOU RAFETTO
The Pirate track squad
travels to Chapel Hill Saturday
to engage in the Big Seven
Meet.
The harriers, fresh from
their best performance ever in
the VMI Winter Relays, will
compete against the North
Carolina State Wolfpack,
Davidson Wildcats, North
Carolina Central, Wake Forest's
Deacons, Duke's Blue Devils,
and the host Tar Heels.
HIGH HOPES
Coach Bill Carson has high
hopes for the Bucs, who are
undefeated in dual meet
competition this season. Key
performances are expected
from several entries.
Joe Day, Rusty Carraway,
Jimmy Kidd, and Lanny Davis
loom as hopefuls in the
two-mile relay while Day and
Carraway are potential scorers
in the 1000-yard race.
David Thomas is the big
Pirate threat at 6000 yards,
while Ken Voss and David
Smith comprise our best hopes
in the mile. Voss, the onl
active senior, competes in the
two-mile, with capable
teammate Mike Ross lending
support.
The Pirates have three
excellent 60-yard men in Mark
Hamilton, Leslie Strayhorn,
and Billy Mitchell, all of whom
have a good chance to finish
high in the standings.
Rounding out the running
events for the Bucs are Ron
Smith and Mickey Furcron in
the high hurdles.
Coach Carson has many
excellent performers
competing in the field events
led by Walter Davenport, who
is generally recognized as the
premier long jumper in the
state.
Davenport will be entered in
the high jump with strong
support from Ty Roork. The
pole vault chores will be

Dear Editor:
After reading the editorial
and the supposedly unbiased
news article concerning The
Rebel in last Tuesday's edition
of The Fountainhead, we felt
that we. as students, must say
something concerning this
controversy.
First, we think that it would
be no great loss if The Rebel
were never published again,
especially if the funds of the
SGA are used. Surely this is a
Department of English
function since Dr. Frederick
Sorenson, who contributed
several articles to the fall
edition of The Rebel, is a
member of the English
Department faculty.
After talking with several
students, we have found that
very few students to whom we
talked had even bothered to
read The Rebel and the few
who did read it, thought it was
a waste of the SGA's money.
The very fact that some
students on this campus are
drawing salaries at the expense
of all the students is
outrageous.
Second, it is obvious that
Mr. Gasperini, Treasurer of the
SGA, has violated the
constitution of the SGA by
writing checks for money that
has not been appropriated. By
this act, he is guilty of
malfeasance of office and
should have articles of
impeachment drawn against
him by the Legislature.
We are fully behind Jim
Watts in any effort that he
initiates to cut money from
The Rebel's budget especially
their salary budget. We feel
that he has shown great
interest in the use of the
students' money. Also, Mr.
Watts should be praised by the
student body for bringing to
the attention of the students
what seems like some
underhanded work on the part
of Gary Gasperini.

Dear Editor:
As an instructor in the
Biology 71 labs, I would like to
comment on the recent letter
in the Forum concerning
Exercise One, The Study of
Behavior. While respect for life
is a good and noble thought,
let us reflect for a moment on
where we draw the line.
When we have a disease we
try to kill the virus or
bacterium (living organism)
causing the ailment. We also
kill roaches, vermin, and any
other organism unpleasant to
us without a second thought.
These are living organisms.
Why, then, are we so repulsed
when, in order to learn more
about our own behavior, we
use a living frog?
After all, by studying lower
animals we can learn a great
deal about the basic functions
of animal nervous system?. If a
cow or pig is acceptable food
for the body, why is the frog
not acceptab "food" for the
intellect.
Another point that must be
brought out is that an animal
does not "feel" pain if it does
not have those higher
associative areas which cause
the feeling of pain. The frog, as
a relatively primitive organism,
lacks these areas; all it is doing
is responding by avoiding a
stimulus which through
evolution and selection has
been shown to be
non-adaptive.
We in the B iology
Department do not inflict pain
on animals and we do respect
life. However, as scientists, we
know that one cannot derive
useful information without
experimentation, just as one
does not win a gold medal in
basketball from hearing
lectures about it or seeing
demonstrations of the game.
Miss Kear knows this also, and
she was not present during
most of the laboratory period.
Had she availed herself of the
opportunity or even shown
enough curiosity to ask, she
would have found that no
"lives" were lost by man's
hand which were not produced
by the same means.

submitted the following information about the
athletic program: in 1960, students were paying
63 per cent of all the money which went for the
athletic program. In a decade, the amount being
spent has not altered at all.
However, there has been a sizeable increase in
the money brought in by ticket sales and in that
received by way of gifts, through the booster
club. Today the figures look like this:
Total budget $392,000
Receipts from students 168,000
Receipts from other sources224,000
TICKETS TO PUBLIC
A minimum number of tickets are sold to the
general public. As Stasavich stated, "We do have
to sell some. The university has a responsibility
to its alumni and to friends of the college
"We cannot seat everyone at every basketball
game, or at any other athletic event Stasavich
continued. "But, in order to avoid raising student
prices on such events, we must sell to the
public
More than half of our revenue is derived from
ticket sales.
When asked where the money goes, Stasavich
replied that better than one-third goes for grants
and aids. The remainder covers the expenses of
the Athletic Department for equipment, supplies,
and uniforms.
OTHER UNIVERSITY FEES
SGA President John Schofield explained the
use of the term "bonds" covered by the Other
University Fees.
There are two kinds of buildings on campus:
revenue-producing and non-revenue producing.
The former type includes the dormitories; and
the latter, such buildings as classrooms and
Minges Coliseum.
In order to cover the expenses of building
non-revenue producing structures, it is necessary
for the university to procure bonds. The interest
on these bonds is paid for by the other university
fees, as listed above.
According to Duncan, this $34 is the only
source of income for bonds.
The fee is set up by the Board of Trustees to
cover necessary expenses for the better
functioning of the university, but those which
the State Legislature will not appropriate directly
from the General Fund. The Trustees are
empowered to exact such a fee by the State
Legislature.
BOOKSTORE EXPENDITURES
In addition to the required tuition and fees, a
sizeable amount of money is spent each quarter
in the book store and at the soda fountain.
A minimum of 75 per cent of their profits
must go for scholarships. This figure was set by
The $10 per q
the Board of Trustees and is used for resources
scholarships, one of two major scholarships
handled by the University.
The remaining 25 per cent of these profits is
distributed by the business manager in
compliance with the trustees. Such uses of these
funds include support for the family life
conference, the special music festival, the arts
festival, expenses for the band which went to the
inauguration of Governor Scott, refreshments
served at the dedication of Greene Dorm and
support for the debate team.
Other expenditures include the meals
purchased at the cafeteria. This money covers the
operation of the cafeteria, which is an
independent commercial food services
organization.
WHO DETERMINES EXPENDITURES?
Who determines what money will be spent
when and what it will be spent for?
This question was put to President Leo
Jenkins. He stated that "the Board of Trustees
makes the decision on priorities. They base this
decision on the judgment of the department
heads, considering the directions in which we
need to go in the immediate and more distant
future, and on the history from which we have
As an example, the office of Health,
Education, and Welfare recently communicated
to this school a set of guidelines for more
compliance with the nation's civil rights laws.
These guidelines call for more minority group
students and faculty members in the entire
program of the school.
Guideline number five reads: "Emphasis on
the recruitment of minority group students
should be a special part of the recruiting
program. For example, more effort should be
make to recruit monority group athletes where
athletic grants-in-aid are avialable
When questioned about this aspect of
priorities, Jenkins replied that most of these
guidelines are already being followed.
Jenkins was also asked if there is any
guarantee covering student expenditures.
If a student needed a "closed" course for
graduation, does he have any assurance of getting
it?
Jenkins replied that there is no such
guarantee. He said that there should be one.
Students pay $34 for such things as the bonds
on Minges Coliseum. Yet there is no way the
entire student body could see any one basketball
game.
The artist series, pops series, and theatre
productions are partially paid for by each
student. A Vienna Boys Choir ticket cost a
student eleven cents plus a fifty-cents service
charge. However, tickets do run out.

Special legislature
conducted with dignity
The SGA Legislature is to be commended upon
the overall general order and intelligence displayed
at yesterday's special session called by SGA
President John Schofield.
After close to two hours of intensive debate and
consideration of various factors surrounding the
history of the appropriation and related activities
the Legislature voted to uphold Schofield's veto.
It was obvious that Speaker Len Mancini was
taking special pains to insure that the meeting was
conducted in an orderly and dignified manner.
In addition, Mancini bent over backwards to
insure that each and every member was fully aware
of what was going on each step of the way. At one
point Mancini asked the members if they fully
understood what they were voting on four times
before he allowed the vote to be taken.
It is presumed that at the next legislature
meeting a new budget appropriation will be
introduced, which brings up another highly
controversial question.
In signing the salary checks for the Rebel staff,
SGA Treasurer Gary Gasperini maintains that he
was following the direction of the Publications
Board, which approved unanimously the original
$835 appropriation.
The Key states on page 26 that the Publications
Board is "an official organ" of the SGA and
"through decisions of this group, contracts are let,
editors are selected, salaries are set
Certain legislative members maintain that
Gasperini exceeded his powers by not having the
additional approval of the Legislature.
Both arguments seem to have at least some
validity, and the entire situation is without
precedent.
The problem is one of interpretation of the
applicable sections of the SGA Constitution and
related statutes, and as such should be referred to
the judicial body responsible for interpretation.
Elections featured
in
spring issue
This issue is our last for Winter quarter. Our first
issue Spring quarter will be a special election issue
on March 16.
The candidates for SGA office will be invited to
answer questions on March 13 and we solicit the
help of each student in preparing these questions.
If you have a question or questions for each of
the candidates for any SGA office, please send it to
us indicating to which SGA position the question
pertains.

Dear Editor:
I am writing to thank the
MRC for the visitation hours
they obtained for the mens'
dorms last weekend.
It's been a long time comin'
but perhaps ECU is finally
coming out of the past.
A university, as such, is
supposedly a place for learning
and preparing the student for
his role in society. The
university's policy of acting as
an "in loco parentts' has
almost entirely disappeared in
schools across the country.
Even here in North Carolina
the change has occurred
(i.eUNC, Duke).
After all, a 19 year-old
individual is no longer an
innocent child requiring
curfews and "protective"
restrictions, but an adult
capable of making decisions for
himself.
I advocate a no curfew
policy for all students and
inter-visitation hours to be set
by each dorm as it so chooses
by a vote.
Other schools have made the
change long ago wonder, are
weECTCorECU?
Ross Mann
Dear Editor:
The salary cut of the Rebel's
staff does not seem to me to be
fair because their work had
been done before the cut went
into effect, if my information
is correct. On the other hand if
we judge not the working
hours, but the end product, the
Rebel seems to me a regretable
waste of funds.
In the past the Rebel used to
be a literary magazine in which
the prose works and poems had
their independent and distinct
existence and were not twisted
into props of a decorative
showpiece. Today the form
subordinates the content.
Under the present
management it slides downhill.
The Ail-American rating it won
can be considered as a sign of
eminence-or as an easy and
meaningless victory over
substandard competitors. Take
your pick!
Truly, the Rebel
occasionally is "eye catching
but was not its original purpose
to catch the mind? When an
editor's approach and
"critical" judgement are not
more than expressions of
personal opinion, such
emotional reflexes as "I like it"
or 'I don't like it one
becomes painfully aware of the
fact that editing a literary
publication requires a mature
approach, some talent, and,
also, creative ability.
When, instead of writers or
peots, pseudo intellectual
technicians take over, the job
often proves to be bigger than
the man.
The forum
Apart from my opinions, I
also have some facts. I have
experienced gross mishandling
of literary materials by the past
and present editors and a
closed mind to ideas coming
from the "outside
I do not mean that the staff
is incompetent or
irresponsible.only that lacking
a good shepherd, theflockis apt
to lose the way.
I am willing to share my
experiences with any of you, if
you plan to submit material to
the Rebel.
After we have had a chat,
you will be better informed
when setting out to decide the
fate of your literary works. I
am a library science major and
usually can be found in the
library.

Dear Editor:
Simply because the
differences between us are
purely philosophical, you have
lately sought to drag the entire
SGA Legislature into the
depths of an. abysmal sewer
The phrase which appears on
the front page of the
FOUNTAINHEAD and the
truth shall make you free" is
the greatest hypocritical fraud
ever perpetrated on this
campus. Governmental control
of the press is wrong. A
government controlled by the
press is intolerable. I will
forever refuse to have our
student government controlled
by a small band of effete
morons.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Len Mancini
Speaker of the Legislature
To Mr. Steve Banks:
Freshman are forced to live
on campus, then denied cars
for transportation away from
Greater Graveyard, then all but
excluded in considerations for
extending womens dorm hours.
Nevertheless, you have the
stupidity to claim that your
only responsibility is to
represent the freshman class in
matters brought before the
SGA. But do you raise issues?
No, and I'm beginning to
think you couldn't find them if
you looked for them.
Continue "learning the
ropes Mr. Banks, but realize
that the ropes are hanging
freshman left and right. If it is
not your responsibility to
demand freshman class rights,
then who is to bring up these
important questions?
Mr. Banks, it makes me sick
to think that the freshman
class has an idiot as its leader.
Perhaps that's because of the
lack of issues raised during the
various campaigns.
It's certain, however, that
there were and still are issues
to be raised. And, moreover,
there were unraised issues that
should have been considered in
the election of all student
representatives
So now. ECU is left with Mr.
Banks and the present
extremely unimportant SGA.
So, I demand that as soon as
is humanly possible within the
stagnant structure of the SGA
a committee be formed from
within that austere body to
implement a student forum at
which students may openly
question their possible
representatives, and then
decide who, if anyone, really
deserves their vote.
But I'll be surprised if the
SGA acts on this proposal. I
don't really expect many
representatives to sign their
own death warrants.
To Mr. Banks, and all those
who have no place in student
