ORIENTATION ISSUE ountainhead "t Vol.1, No. 54 and the truth shall make you free' East Carolina University. P.O. Box 2516. Greenville, N.C. Orientation Issue Plays set for summer By LEO W.JENKINS Perhaps more than any other undei taking, our annual summer theater represents what can be done when community and campus unite to accomplish a goal for their mutual benefit. Alter determining the feasibility of a summer theater, wc went to community leaders within a 50-mile radius of Greenville and enlisted their support. Their response was immediate and enthusiastic. By February 15, 1964. they had sold $50,000 worth of season tickets and the success of the first year v. .is assured. GAINED ACCLAIM Now, six years later, with 30 productions to its credit, the Summer Theater has gained vide recognition and acclaim. Wc are justly proud of it. Many of its performers have gone on to major productions in New York and Hollywood and are seen frequently on television. And patrons of the Summer Theater come from far greater distances than the original 50-mile radius from Greenville. They travel hundreds of miles and come here from other states. Our summer company usually represents actors and technicians from 30 or more states and most of the major educational institutions as well. Praise has been heaped upon the East Carolina Summer Theater by critics of all of the leading newspapers in North Carolina and Virginia. CURTAIN DROPS Last year we were disappointed. Last summer we were not able to raise the curtain on our sixth year. What happened? Some of our friends and we ourselves took the theater for granted. Some people assumed that their season ticket was not needed that year. Faced with ever-increasing production costs and decreasing revenue, our producer felt he could not safely bring in the season. Although we did not operate last year, we were not defeated. The theatre staff carefully explored its operation to find ways to improve and to sustain its productions. An appeal was made to the legislature for supplemental funds to help absorb rising costs with out increasing the ticket prices for our patrons. RECOGNITION The recognition of our theatre by the legislature's; favorable reaction to our' request for funds again reveals its importance to the whole state. The season ticket drive is now Continued on page 11 Fountainheadlines Education is not found entirely in the classroom. See page 23. Summer sessions larger than in 1969. See page 2.

Assistant Attorney General probes, finds no proof of snipers at Kent . , , i aotkc at Kpnt State, wht By MARK BROWN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The man heading the government's probe of student deaths on the Kent State and Jackson State campuses says there is "insufficient evidence to support officials' claims of sniper fire. "We have at this time insufficient evidence to establish the presence of a sniper As Atty. Gen. Jerris Leonard said of the May 15 deaths of two black youths in a fusillade of police bullets at Jackson State College in Mississippi. CONTRADICTION His statement directly contradicts the report released last Thursday by Mississippi Gov. John Bell Williams that said an investigation showed state troopers were shot at by a sniper befoi : opening fire on a group of students outside a women's dormitory on the predominently black campus. Leonard is head of the Justice Department's civil rights division and leader of a federal investigation of the fatal shootings by law enforcement authorities of the two youths at Jackson State and four students at Kent State University in Ohio and six men in Augusta. Ga. KENT STATE In a interview. Leonard was asked whether his statement could also be applied to the deaths at Kent State, where Ohio National Guardsmen said they had been fired upon by a sniper before shooting into a crowd of students demonstrating against U. S. military involvement in Cambodia. "Yes. there is insufficient evidence at Kent Leonard replied. The civil rights chief refused to comment on whether the probes, in the case of Kent State Continued on page 2 Refrigerators available for dormitory students Refrigerators will be available to dormitory students for the summer, according to Bob Whitley, President of the Student Government Association.

Fountainhead, Page 3 () it ices of the literary Igamc. The Rebel, were the Ktmu of a workshop recently t aspiring young writers from 1 schools in northeastern th Carolina. Those attending were ,rticipants of the Washington e Arts Festival and winners a creative writing contest in e eight counties of the Ibemarle area. Manuscripts were judged ider supervision of Dr. Erwin ister. chairman of the English partment with two winners ,d two honorable mentions ?gnized in each of three itegories. poetry, short story ,d essay. Workshop participants selected manuscripts that would best be presented in a magazine similar to the format of The Rebel striving to achieve as closely as possible the total visual effect. Students discussed the more academic aspects of literature and art in general. "They were hoping to get a firm basis for their selection said Rod Kctner. editor of The Rebel, and director o' the workshop. He said this was considered a "pilot" workshop for similar ones anticipated in future years. The Rebel recently received its third consecutive All-American Honor Rating from the Associated Collegiate Press. Ervin introduces bil! requiring faster trails U.S. Senator Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-N.C), Chairman of the S u b c o m m i t t e e o n Constitutional Rights, introduced in the Senate a "speedy trial" bill requiring trials of federal criminal cases within 60 days. He termed the proposal "a revolutionary step forward in our criminal law The bill is co-sponsored by Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan. ALTERNATIVE He called for passage of such legislation as a workable and constitutional alternative to preventive detention, no-knock ummer ID cards made Summer school photo I.D. rds are being made in the bby of Wright on the Uowing dates: June 8 9,1C,11 d July IS,16 17,20 from 9 i. until 4 p.m. Each full-time dent must pay 50 cents for s card and show his class hedule to get his card. Any rt-time or special student who Hits to have the privileges of e card may get one for a )0 fee. In 15 VALID FOR SUMMER The summer school I.D. card ill be valid for only the timer sessions. It serves as bth an I.D. card and an activity (ar?l tor summer entertainment. st or stolen cards will be n placed for $2.00. ?ach student is to carry his I.D. card at all tunes and to present it when requested to do so by the proper officials such as the campus police, the SGA officials or the faculty. USES The cards will be used for such things as getting into the campus movies every Wednesday and Friday night. A date can get in on each card. The card is needed to vote in any elections or referendums and as identification in the Student Bank, and is often asked for downtown when cashing a check. ONE FOR SPOUSE Students can have a card made for his spouse by paying a $5.00 fee. To have the card made, the student must accompany his spouse to Wright and present evidence that he is a full-time student. The same rules apply to these cards as to the full-time students cards. Disciplinary action may be taken against students who allow another student or nonstudent to use their I.D. cards. techniques, mandatory sentences, and nthcr "harsh and impractical renu es" such as those in the D.C crime bill. Referring spe ifically to the current drive for use of preventive detention. Ervin said that it was a "fear-sponsored reaction" to the increasing inability of federal criminal courts to deal with the demands placed on the. in the modern era. He said: We must not react to this breakdown by the institution of new repressive devices which do violence to constitutional principles and which threaten to burden the system even more. Instead, we should finally do what is constitutionally required. We must take steps to make the Sixth Amendment right to speedy trial a right so far denied to both society as well as the defendant a reality after all these years. PRIORITY SYSTEM Ervin's speedy trial bill sets up a four-stage priority system starting first with serious felonies in which defendants have been detained under high Curriculum changes are recommended eterans must return allege certification cards llUu iron he Veterans Administration kain reminded veterans training Eider the GI Bill to return their Unification of attendance cards. Veterans attending colleges must return these cards during last full month of every Enrollment period. Those training below college level must return them every month. REASONS The cards are needed for two reasons. W. R. Phillips, Manager pf the Winston-Salem VA Regional Office, pointed out. One is that VA computers are piugramed to prepare these educational allowance checks only after the. cards have been received. The other is that If the attendance card of the veteran attending college is not returned at the end of the semester, he cannot be automatically enrolled under the GI Bill for subsequent sessions that he may plan to attend. Since final checks do nol arrive until most college students have left the campus, Phillips reminded veterans to be sure to make arrangements to have their checks forwarded by the post office. CHANGES Veterans must also report promptly to the VA any changes in training programs which would affect the amount of their checks. College veterans would do this by letter, and bebw college level trainees on their monthly punched card, (Form2lE-6553a). Veterans or dependents interested in GI Bill training or more information about veterans' programs were urged to contact the nearest VA Office. Exam dates set The School of Education will give the Comprehensive Exam in Education on Saturdays June 27 and August 1 in Room 129 of the Educational-Psychology Building beginning at 1:301 p.m. Students interested should contact their major adviser for m application. PROVIDENCE, R.I. (IP) A Rhode Island College student-faculty committee has recommended a major reconstruction of the curriculum to make it more flexible and more responsive to individual student needs. RECOMMENDATIONS Key recommendations include: requirements of only four courses per semester, so that students may concentrate on content; allowance of up to one semester's credit for work in community projects; establishment of a permanent curriculum development committee to permit continuous review of academic programs; the right of individual departments to offer any course for one semester without prior approval of the college Curriculum Committee. A further recommendation would reduce requirements for the bachelor's degree to 32 academic course units and one year of physical education, with the 32 courses divided into three categories. The first category would be a general studies program of eight courses, with options in the humanities, math-science and behavioral social sciences, and required seminars in reading and modes of communication. EMPHASIS Emphasis would be on problem solving rather than data absorption. Explicit requirements such as English composition, foreign language, speech and mathematics would be eliminated. The secondary category would comprise the concentration, or academic major, and the third group would meet requirements for professional programs and student electives. REPORT The eight-member faculty-student Curriculum Revision Subcommittee spent eight months investigating and preparing its report, which made 42 specific recommendations. The new curriculum will be introduced in Fall. 1970. Spirit Committee positions open Anyone interested in serving on the newly-organized Spirit Committee should fill out an application in the Student Government office on the third floor of Wright Annex during oiientation. Spirit committee activities will include promoting spirit and generating enthusiasm for East Carolina athletics. Correspondance for further information should be directed to: Phil Dixon, Vice-President. Student Government Association. P. 0. Box 2456. Greenville. N.C 27834. money bond. When the bill is fully effective, all felony trials in federal courts would have to meet a two-month time limit. Tax. antitrust and security cases are exempt from the bill. The bill also establishes a P retrial Services Agency in Washington D. C. and in other selected federal courts on an experimental basis. RESPONSIBILITY Ervin said: The agencies will be responsible for making bail recommendations, for supervising and controlling persons released on bail, for assistance in the providing of medkl employment, and other services to these persons, and for performing other functions designed to insure the reduction of pretrial crime, nonappearance for trial, and unnecessary pretrial detention. These agencies are designed to put into operation the recommendations of the many committees which have surveyed the operation of the Bail Reform Act and pointed out our persistent failure to make that Act work as it was intended and as it should. Scott views moon rock One of tne early visitors to see the moon rock now on display at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill was North Carolina's Governor Robert Scott Scott, in Chapel Hill Monday for the University of North Carolina's Commencement Exercises, said he was "quite impressed" with the walnut sized sample collected by Commander Neil Armstrong diring the Apollo 11 Lunar Mission. IN ROTUNDA More than 2 000 Planetarium visitors have viewed the sample since it went on display in the Planetarium rotunda. The 2.6 to 3 billion-year-old rock is described by NASA as coarse-grained, vesicular, and crystalline. Its surface is veggy and the density is approximately 3.2 grams per cubic centimeter. The minerology is given as 40 per cent Feldspar (Plagioclase), 25 per cent Pyroxene (Clino). 25 per cent llmenite, opaque, and 10 per cent Silica (Cristobalite). HOURS The public may view the lunar sample free of charge throughout June and July during all regular Planetarium exhibit hours weekdays from 12-5 and 7:30-10 p.m 10-5 and 7:30-10 on Saturdays; and 1-5 and 7:30-10 on Sundays.

"We know full well that it is through such development that we will attain our full status as a university and achieve the full capacity to serve this region as it strives for a better life ADVANCEMENT Jenkins described authorization by the last General Assembly to expand ECU programs upward to offer doctorates as "the most important advance since our elevation to university status He added that although new master's degree programs will be developed as the need arises, "we have reached the point of offering the range of master's programs that are usually found at a university of this size For this reason, he said, legislative authorization to develop doctoral programs "came at the moment of University readiness To implement the new authority, he said "we have spent the past year preparing these programs FIRST CLASS In the same address, Jenkins told the alumni and other dignitaries gathered for the 61st annual Commencement this weekend, that "barring major roadblocks, we should be able to enrol! our first class of medical students in September 1971 "1 urge you to keep in mind that despite the agitation of a few. all of us can be proud of the support a vast majority of our students have given in helping provide a climate at East Carolina which is conducive to the pursuit of an education GROUNDWORK In laying groundwork for doctoral programs, the University policy of "open competition in higher education" was adhered to, Jenkins said. All schools and departments confident of readiness were invited to join an "internal competition" to offer the first doctorates. Twelve disciplines elected to prepare eight proposals for PhD's and four doctorates in professional fields. "By next Fall, we hope to have selected the very best from this group for trustee consideration he said. MEDICAL SCHOOL The 1969 General Assembly also appropriated funds for planning and developing a two-year medical school at ECU. Jenkins said experts and consultants "agree that our concepts of a two-year school are sound and feasible ECU already has recruited several renouned basic medical scientists, he said. A third major academic step has been development of the EC U Allied Health and Medical School programs which he said, "are moving along in a sound, deliberate and yet meaningful manner A new building to house the School of Allied Health and Social Professions should be completed in 15 months. JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD Jenkins also disclosed that ECU is working toward establishing a junior-year-abroad program. He cited this as "our most dramatic move in the field of international education Under the proposal. ECU students would complete the equivalent of an academic year in Bonn, Germany, where the University hopes to secure a renovated chateau on the banks of the Rhine River and library resources of the University of Bonn. "We feel sure the program will grow and prosper, and we already have expansion plans which include the lease of a conveniently located small resort hotel in Bonn to be available in 1973 and the possible use of an already existing language laboratory center just an eight minute ferry ride across the Rhine River Feature story Ira L.

WRC lessens women's rules ?ii i ? ? - J?:?a muov mittl ?m no out continued from page 10 nd a central recreation area. She chuckled at the thought ffa coed social fraternity. I just can't see a sorority Ian she joked. Concerning a pass-fail grading kystem. Miss Fulghum said that Wthough she has not studied it n depth, she has discussed it vith students. She favors pass-fail for seniors Imd possibly juniors, but never loi freshmen or sophomores. To help freshmen. Miss hilghum will have a session pith the girls and their parents luring orientation. ADVICE As advice to freshmen, she tarns them that when they take the step from high school into a Jniversity. they need to take very thing into serious Consideration and think thoroughly about activities that Ihev go into. She said she wants to Emphasize the fact that there ire rules and regulations that they must follow. She also warns that it is Important that they give lots of Pirne to academics their first iquartcr. "The academic record they make the first quarter will be the most important because the student that finishes this quarter with below a C average feels he is a failure and becomes depressed many times. His whole attitude changes Miss Fulghum's plans for the future arc to remain where she is. as dean, and to continue her studies in guidance and counseling. After all. she's expected to keep up with 5 000 girls! By BECKY NOBLE There are ten women's dorms on campus, and the problems which arise from living in them are dealt with by the Women's Residence Council. The WRC has three main purposes. One is to bring about a more unified and co-operative relationship among women students. Working closely with the dean o( women and other advisors, the WRC strives to improve campus life for women. The WRC also strives to promote a high standard of conduct for the women. A third purpose is to insure uniform interpretation and enforcement of women's rules. The WRC has been active this year in changing the women's rules. It has done away with most of the outdated rules which were hindrances. The most significant change Mallory is championship coach . uA civ in i??i Continued from page 10 time too. Mallory realized that he was limited to playing baseball. He prepared to go back to school. He got his degree in counciling and taught at several high schools and colleges, while coaching baseball. While at El on College. Mallorv coached his teams to six Carolina Conference championships in seven years. )n 953, Mallory came to East Carolina as head baseball coach. In his first year. Mallory was sick and Earl Smith coached He started the next year on a long string of victories. In eight years, he coached six championship teams. In 1957. Mallory became Dean of Men. The highlight of his career as coach came in 1961. His ECC Pirates won the NA1A national championship, capturing every award presented, including the Sportsmanship Award. The team boasted three All Americans and the Most Valuable Player of the Year That same year. Mallo.v recieved the Will Winne Award. This award was presented to him as the outstanding contributor to baseball from North Carolina. 1962. Mallory retired as head coach to become Dean of Men full time. Mallory is still active in baseball Every summer he coaches for two weeks at the Ted Kluszwski Baseball Camp at Baimbridge. Ohio. In 13. he wrote "Baseball Fundamentals" aimed at the college player. Last spring he wrote "Baseball Fundamentals for Teenage Players Both books are widely used. Every spring Mallory helps with the baseball work-outs at ECU. Why did he give up baseball? "I wanted to work with all the men at ECU Mallory said. was doing away with sigi Ing out on dates. Beginning next fall, girls must only sign out when they are spending the night out of the dorm. Another important change was the curfew change to later hours. For freshmen, curfew changed from 11 to 11:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday: from 12:30 to 1 a.m. on Firday and Saturday; and from 12 to 1 a m. on Sunday. For upperclassmen, curfew changed from 11:30 to 1230 on Monday through Thursday: from 1 to 2 a.m. on Firday and Saturday; and from 12 to 1 a.m. on Sunday. In addition to changing the rules, the WRC set up an office in Green dorm where the chairman holds regular hours open to women students. The WRC also awards the Ruth H. White Scholarship of S200 and has set up an emergency loan fund of S20 for women. This spring the WRC and the MRC sponsored a field day on the mall. The new president is Jane Hand. . - ? r?i ?m!fc'?

Some minor changes have made since fall quarter in said, "but the basic 'Most Jc' idea of programming has been the connecting thread that ?lspanned the year ?The Big 57" must do more than sound professional, it must ?S0 show a profit on the books. R. Grant Range, former station business manager and a senior from Burlington, worked most of the year with a sales staff that often dwindled to disappointing levels, but managed to bring WECU through its most profitable year. SELLING FORMULA WECU's selling formula is nothing special according to Range. "We have a good sound and a lot of listeners, so naturally the merchants want to buy commercials from us "Our copy and production departments have a way with commercials Range added. "When we do a spot it not only sells the product but the students like it as well Range is serving as station manager of WECU this year. Concerning his new position. Range said. "It's going to be a real challenge to see if we can equal or surpass all the lecords we set for ourselves this year. I think we can do this by showing the advertiser that WECU reaches more students than any other radio station PUBLIC SERVICE The job of co-ordinating the public service effort falls on program director Jim Davis. Davis gathers the data for the public service promotions and then approves teir production, as well as all commercial production. Davis, who got his start in radio at WECU, said Those are the two main objectives of WECU: to give the ECU student with an interest in radio a chance to get the practical airways knowledge that it would be impossible to obtain any other way, and to give the ECU dorm student good, listenable radio GROWTH Jim Hicks is serving as radio business manager. He stated, "I would like to see us grow as much next year as we have this year, both financially and artistically Hicks, a sociology major, has done much to help the morale of this year's staff, and often serves as a "Dear Abby" to the 57 FUNTIMERS. Chances are if you asked any of the 57 FUNTIMERS what they thought WECU was, you'd get a different answer from each of them. But they, along with the majority of the dorm students at ECU would probably agree that "The Big 57" is a good sounding, professionally operated and contemporary radio station. CLOSED And as the experts will tell you, in a city the size of Greenville, you don't find more than one radio station that fits that description. WECU has closed up shop for the summer in order to put a new face on the control and production rooms. In addition to the new paneling, a new control board is being installed. With the new board "WECU should have a much fuller sound, as well as the ability to add more variety to the programs says Grant Range. Next Fall WECU will return to the air 24 hours a day "with more music more often Rebel receives third All-American rating Continued from page 16 distributed to all incoming freshmen during the orientation periods during the summer. The Key includes short descriptions of all campus services, organizations, departments, activities, and regulations. A long section on the Student Government Association, the governing body of the students by the students, provides facts for all students interested in that aspect of campus life. All students should read and understand that section in particular. The judicial system, a part of the SGA is also c overed. for the major part of the discipline on campus is handled by the students' own courts. The Buccanneer is the student yearbook, issued in the spring. This year the books were held up in printing and thus could not get to the students on time, but will be distributed during the summer and next fall. BUCCANNEER The Buccanneer attempts to capture the most enchanting moments of the year and seal them in a book that will provide a remembrance in the future. It is thus a memory book as well as a valuable historical work for the school. Staff membership, here as in all student publications, is open to all interested students, no prior experience is required. Paid positions are available. The Buccanneer office is on the third floor of Wright building. The Rebel is the student literary magazine. It provides the student body with an outlet for creativeness. whether in poetry, prose, art photography, or whatever field one may be interested in. Under the current editorship of Rod Ketner, the Rebel this spring won its third All-American rating among college and university literary magazines. REBEL The Rebel is published once a quarter, with an occasional supplement, such as last year's satirical supplement. It too, is staffed entirely by students. The work of the student publications should be faciliated somewhat during the next year when the Department of English will be able to offer a number of new journalism courses which will supplement the number of such courses that were available to students. Every aspect of campus publication, whether layout, ad markup, writing, editing, design, or typing, will be covered by one or another of the journalism courses. Interested students should look into this field when they come to ECU. The campus publications need student help in order to provide their services to the students. Art exhibit Works in interior design by Richard Klingman, senior in the School of Art. will be exhibited this week at the Baptist Student Center. Freshman orientation will begin Beginning on June 23-25. all new freshman students enrolled for fall quarter at ECU, will be run through various orientation programs. The purpose of these orientation programs is to introduce the new students to higher education. There will be six of these orientation programs spaced throughout the summer. The first session begins on Tuesday June 23 and continues until the 25th. The dates for the other programs are: July 1-2. 8-9. 22-23. 29-30; and August 5-6. Registration for the first and following sessions begins on Tuesday the 23rd from 3-7. Girls will register in Unstead dormitory while the boys will register in Jones dorjnitory. GENERAL MEETING After registration is completed the new students will attend a general introductory meeting which will expose them to the campus. They will be given a movie tour of the campus. The new students will also be required to take various tests. The first tests begin on Tuesday night and include the Math and English pre-tests. On Wednesday the tests will include the foreign language placement tests and those who have special proficiency for Math can take the Math 65. 75. andor 120 by-pass test. After the testing on Wednesday, a meeting will be held entitled "Campus Values" at which the new students will have a chance to talk to the campus and town ministers. MOVIE That evening. Dean Alexander plans to have a movie shown in Wright Auditorium. For one hour on both Wednesday and Thursday, the freshmen will meet with student counselors who will inform them on various aspects of school. Such things as the SGA. rules, grading system, withdrawals from school, etc. will be discussed. The new students will also have the ID cards made and will pre-register for fall quarter. They will also have meetings with the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women. There will also be an academic counseling session at which each major department on campus will have a room open for any students who have questions concerning that particular department. The Fraternities and Sororities will inform new students about the campus social organizations. On Thursday, the last day, the students will receive their test grades. There will also be a small orientation program for the parents. The parents are invited to attend the student sessions concerning campus life. The parent will also be invited to attend a meeting with administrative officials where Pirate cannon ECU plans to purchase a pirate deck cannon (used for firing salutes) in hope to promote spirit and create enthusiasm for athletics. A fund dirve held Spring Quarter netted $180 of the required $600 for purchase of the five-foot cannon. According to SGA Vice-President Phil Dixon, booths will be located in the Union Lobby and Soda Shop this week, and all donations will be greatly appreciated. they will be informed of such things as financial aid, student affairs, infirmary, entertainment, admissions, and the registrar's office. There will be a coffee house for the parents where they will meet with the various Deans of the School. This year's orientation is expected to be the largest of the school's history with an approximate attendance of 2,500 new students. Draft call stays the same WASHINGTON (AP) The Defense Department today sent out a call for drafting 15,000 men into the army in July, the same number as in May and Juni. The Pentagon said it expects to daft between 150.000 and 180.000 men this year compared with 299.000 :n 1969. Draft calls are sharply down from last year because the United Stated is reducing the size of its armed forces as it withd.aws troops gradually from Vietman. tw Pi?mmh?(.HIM'm (;igViJVf?v i Fulghum views Education C??OL W'JM E 68 , hrr '& '?

Bulletin boards are available for use by campus organizations, and for people buying or selling or looking for roommates. Many special weekly events are planned for the summer. Those who are interested may play duplicate bridge nightly. WATERMELON When the price of watermelon goes down, the Union will sponsor a free Watermelon Feast on the Mall. Every Thursday evening there will be free ice cream and Bingo in room 201 of the Union. On Thursdays, a Slimnastics class meets for those who would improve their shape. Summer Games Tournaments are determined by student interest. Any student who thinks a certain activity utilizing the union facilities would be of interest to others has only to talk with the Union staff. A student interested in a Chess Tournament for the summer arranged a conference with Union Director Miss Mendenhall not long ago. Miss Mendenhall agreed it would be a fine idea if enough interest could be generated, and Program Supervisor Miss Jordan talked over plans with the student. Other special events are being planned. Again, student interest will determine their success. '?Summerfolk a scheduled folk-fest would give studenl performers a chance to sing or play in front of a student audience. POPULARITY The East Carolina Union offers many and varied facilities and opportunities for the student's lesiure and extra curricular time. The popularity of the Union and Union activities is positive proof that the Union Staff works hard and well. The physical facilities they have to work with, however, are far from adequate. Miss Mendenhall feels that only two billiards tables is "ludicrous" and thinks other facilities are generally "Inadequate. There are never enough rooms Steve Apple. Student Union President agrees: "The Union is inadequate when compared with Faculty Senate approves of student membership By WAYNE EADS Student membership on academic committees is an issue currently being considered by main universities across the nation. The Committee on Committees of the Faculty Senate, in a program on the analysis and development of the structure of the Senate, proposed last year that students be placed on academic committees of that body. This move was a basic step in allowing students more representation in the governance oi their own university and of their own activities in the academic community. QUESTION The members of the Committee studied the question: Will the participation of students in this phase of academic governance make education more relevant for the individual student and enhance the overall educational program of the university? In their report to the Faculty Senate the Committee showed their study had consisted of a twofold approach. A estionnaire was sent to a number of universities asking for information relating to this matter. This was an effort to get national consensus. Local the unions of other schools the size of ECU. A new University Union is in the planning stages, but will not become a physical reality for several years. In the meantime, the union staff makes every effort to please you the student to the best of their ability. Drop-add causes headaches for students who go through it feeling was sampled through an open hearing on the matter. The questionnaire was sent to 85 schools in the United States. More than three-fourths of the fifty-nine replies received stated that students were allowed to be members on some academic committees. REPORT According to the report. "Qualifications for students to serve on academic committees varied, but the trend was toward the requirements that a student be a full-time undergraduate or an upperclassman. At most ol the institutions, students were selected for service on academic committees through the independent action of the students, but about one school in five indicated that the selection would be subject to the approval of the administration Eleven written statements were received by the committee. Ten of these were from faculty members and the other was from the SGA. All of these statements were favor. Me to the proposition of student participation. To quote excerpts from the report: "I believe that such a policy (student participation on Continued on page 14 Drop-add means tremendous headaches to most of the students who go through it each quarter. But it does not have to be a painful process. If a student knows the proper procedure and the necessary materials, he can end half the problem. Drop-add begins when a student finds that he is dissatisfied with his schedule, for whatever reason. He should see his adviser immediately and talk over the problem. General College students should go to the basement of the old gym. the Memorial Gymnasium, to see their advisers. The student's adviser will fill out a drop-add form which the student must take to the things gO Coke drop-add lines with him. He should also see the teachers of any courses he is dropping, and get his class cards from them. They should be taken to the drop-add lines. A student will be admitted to the drop-add center only if he has his drop-add form, his class cards, and his pink class schedule, which he obtained during registration. Inside, there is a row of desks with the letters of the alphabet distributed along them. The student should go to the letter signifying the first letter of the courses he wants to drop or add. In going through drop-add a student should remember that Continued on page 17 Summer Theater set Continued from pane 1 impressively ahead of last year's. The subsidy from state funds will also help. However the destiny rf the summer theatre is ultimately in the hands of the people of our immediate area in particular and it is they alone who can guarantee that it will become a permanent institution. Its entertainment value during the hot summer months is obvious; its cultural contributions to our region, a; well as to our entire state, also speak for themselves. Scheduled for the theatre's seventh year are: Doily "The Pirates of Penzance "George M A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and "Man of La Mancha Two of these musicals are still running in New York. To see them there you would pay probably three times what it will cost you if you visit McGinnis Auditorium. We urge you to attend. We guarantee you will not be disappointed. You will enjoy yourself and will help to provide a firm basis for the permanent operation of this valuable attraction to living in North Carolina. j ,? t ola Bottling Company. Inc.

But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They're unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. They spend their nights mechanically ouf1ining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what's in them. LAST JUDGEMENT The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have so throughly introjected their masters' values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State, these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and shake when they speak to a professor, who go throughanemotional crisis every time they're called on in class. You can recognize them easily at finals time. Theit faces are festooned with fresh pimples, their bowels boil audibly across the room. If there really was a Last Judgement, the parents and teachers who created these wrecks would burn in hell. Orientation Issue, Fountainhead, Page 13 So students are niggers. It's time to find out why. and to do this, we have to take a long look at Mr. Charlie. . , The teachers I know best are college professors. Outs.de the classroom and taken as a group their most striking characteristic is timidity. They're short on balls. Ts? look at their working conditions. At a time when even migrantwork-era have begun to fight and win. college professors are afraid to make more than a ken effort to improve on their pitiful economic status. In California state colleges, the cult are screwed regularly and vigorously by the Governor and Legislature andV" don't offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their stomachs with he'r pantsdown. mumbling catch-phrases like "professional dignity" and "meaningful dialogue. PROFESSORS COP OUT Professors were no different when I was an undergraduate at UCLA dunnjme McCarthy era; it was like a cattle stampede as they rushed tocop AeTno recent years, I found that my being arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues not so much approval or condemnation as open-mouthed astonishment. ' You could lose Now of course there's the Vietnamese war. It gets some opposition from a few teachers. Some support it. But a vast number of professors who know perfect y well what's happening are copping out again. And in the high schools, you can forget it. TrTnottre why teachers are so ch.ckensh.t. It could be that academic training itself forces a split between thought and action. It might also be that thetenured security of a teaching job attracts timid persons and further more, that teachmg like police work, pulls in persons who are unsure of themselves and need weapons and other external trappings of authority.

To make their interests, their values, and their language matters worse, you may suspect that you yourself arc not the most engaging of persons. What can protect you from their ridicule and scorn? Respect for Authority. That's what. It's the policeman's gun again. The white bwana's pith helmet. So you flaunt your authority. You wither whisperers with a murderous glance. You crush objectors with erudition and heavy irony. And worst of all, you make your own attainments seem not accessible but awesomely remote. You conceal your massive ignorance and parade a slender learning. You might also want to keep in mind that he was a nigger once himself and has never really gotten over it. And there are more causes, some of which are better described in sociological than psychological terms. Work them out. it's not hard. But in the meantime, what we've got on our hands is a whole lot of niggers. And what makes this particularly grim is that the student has less chance than the black man of getting out of his bag. Because the student doesn't even know he's in it. That, more or less, is what's happening in higher education. And the results are staggering. For one thing damn little education takes place in the schools. How could it? You can't educate slaves; you can only train them. Or to use an even uglier word, you can only program them. TRICKY TO FIGHT Educational oppression is trickier to fight than racial oppression. If you're a black rebel, they can't exile you. they either have to intimidate you or kill you. But in high school or college, they can just bounce you out of the field. And they do. Rebel students and renegade faculty members get smotheied or shot down with devastating accuracy. In high school, it's usually the student who gets it; in college, it's more often the teacher. Others get tired of fighting and voluntarily leave the system. This may be a mistake though. Copping out of college, for a rebel, is a little like going North, for a Negro. You can't really get away from it so you might as well stay and raise hell. How do you raise hell? That's a whole other article. But just for a start, why not stay with the analogy? What have black people done1? They have, first of all. faced the fact of their slavery, they've stopped kidding themselves about an eventual reward in the Great Watermelon Patch in the Sky. They've organized, they've decided to get freedom now. and they've started taking it. IMMENSE POWER Students like black people, have immense power. They could, theoretically, insist on participating in their own education! They could make academic freedom bilateral. Thev could teach their teachers to thrive on love and admiration, rather than fear and respect and to lay down their weapons. Students could discover community. And they could learn to dance on the IBM cards. They could make coloring books out of the catalogues, and they could put the grading system in a museum. They could raze one set of walls after another and let life come blowing into the classroom. They could raze another set of walls and let education come blowing out and flood the streets. They could turn the classroom into where it's at a "field of action" as Peter Marin describes it. And believe it or not. they could study eagerly and learn prodigiously tor the best of all possible reasons their own reasons. They could. Theoretically. They have the power. But only in a very few places, like Berkeley, have-they even begun to think about using it. I ? &,???? ?? ? - Student members on Senate Entertajnmeilt announced t e iwt S 79 51 ? 1 . ?

Record companies, well aware of the important part music plays in the lives of our generation, go to great .ngths to separate us from our extra bread. Even album covers are blatant examples of commercial hype. Walk into any record shop with vague notions of buying one or two random albums and you are confronted by hundreds of flashy or freaky or arty album covers. INITIAL REACTION The initial reaction is to buy not by virtue of the music hidden between the cardboard flaps but to buy an album because, well, the cover is great and therefore the music must be. So you get burned a couple of times and come to the conclusion that pretty cardboard squares and mediocre talents are not worth five dollars a throw. There is, happily, some good music hidden between some of the cover hypes. This column is an attempt toseparatcsome of the good from the bad. It will try to stay away from the well known. We all know who John Lennon is. We all know the Beatles released records in plain white covers. ARTISTS This column will attempt to give you some idea of the more interesting lesser-known recording artists, what might interest you and what isn t worth it Reviewing albums is a highly arbitrary business. Personal opinion has a tendency to run rampant. An attempt will be made here to give you a frame of reference for making your decisions according to your particular musical tastes. If this column succedes, you may be able to enhance your record collection without wasting your money on albums you'll only play once or twice. You'll be doing your patriotic part in the fight against inflation. The President would be proud. NOPRETENTION It always seemed to me that one of the most appealing aspects of rock was its lack of pretention. At its best, rock is honest music played with a great deal of intensity. With the broadening of the so-called revolution, too many new groups cropped up intent on taking themselves seriously without first paying dues by working their random jam sessions into tight musical segments. Too many albums dissipate into 20-minute renditions of two minute songs, with much of the 18 excess minutes taken up by meaningless drum solos and guitar improvisations. Technical ability and speedy fingers do not necessarily make good music. Hard Meat is a trio with considerable technical ability, which is more than can be said for whoever designed their album cover, which is a poor silver and black imitation of Peter Max doodles. HARD MEAT Hard Meat seems to want to impress listeners by the fact that they can play their instruments. If the melodies and lyrics on this album are for the most part forgetable. their instrumental work on electric and acoustic guitar, bass and percussion is fast, furious and generally impressive. If you stay up nights to hear Ten Years After and Santana, you'll loose sleep over Hard Meat. Thundertree is, for want of a better term, rock mood music dangerously close to supermarket music The band seems to be over impressed by the more melodramatic electric and mechanical devices available to them in the studio. RAD VOCALS The vocals are overdubbed, echoed, harmonious and sweet. The instrumental work all seems to have run through an echo chamber too. Extensive use is made of wah-wah and fuzz guitar. Heavy? Not at all. The surprising thing is that the over-production, the use of freak-out electric devices and echoes all add up to relatively relaxing, pretty sounds. Perhaps there is a pertinent reason why the grey-suited figure on the album's cover has a featureless head and is growing tree roots. MOTTTHEHOOPLE I personally find Mott the Hoople a good album. An unusual name, an unusual cover: alligator-dragon type creatures crawling over a table of books and glasses. Mott does not shy away from other peoples' material. The album starts out with an instrumental version of the Kinks' 'You Really Got Me Mott's rendition is loud, nasty and joyous. Sonny and Cher's old teeny bop chestnut ?'Laugh at Me" is also redone on this album with considerably less self consciousness than the original and considerably more musical skill. The original material on this album is reminiscent of Bob Dylan as we knew him during Highway 61. If you miss the old Dylan you'll probably enjoy this. Mott pays tribute to their predecessors and play their music with skill and a real sense of purpose and togetherness. By JIM TEAL Earth Island. We Must Survive. Philips. PUS 600-340. The recent concern about the earth's environment has undoubtedly given rise to a new crop of protest groups in the musical world. One of the first of these is Earth Island a group who has capitalized on the movement with an album call We Must Survive. Though Earth Island has good intentions, their album is somewhat lacking in originality and talent. Their topics are oversimplified and in many cases merely cliched statements put to music. The lyrics, written mostly by Bill Liska. never quite capture the emotional appeal at which they are intended. With song titles such as Doomsday Afternoon and "Ashes. Ashes All Fall Down Earth Island resorts to stock phraseology usually found in newspaper editorial columns, or amateurish poetry. It is not the intent of this review to belittle the efforts of Earth Island in exploiting the ecology movement; however, the overall effect of the album is lost in its understatements and hackneyed lyrics. EARTH ISLAND All too often a talented group, such as Earth Island, tries so diligently to achieve its goal that it overshoots the primary objective and loses its effectiveness. The problem of environmental pollution is a serious one. to say the least; and future musical groups will certainly attempt to expose its aspects' "Save our World. We Must Survice" projects the traditional view of today's ecologists. Earth Island has given the musical arts an example, though a poor one. and it now lies in the talents of contemporary musicans to further the Earth conservation movement. LIGHTMAN Aaron Lightman Poppy. PYS 40.010. Aaron Lightman's new album, released on the Poppy label (take that with as many grains of salt as you wish) unites the total experience of musical spectrum. At last someone has found the relation of sound and sense with the ultimate result being a truly unique display of talent and origianlity. Lightman's album has only his name on the cover, and no traditional title appears anywher on the album. After listening to the finished product. I find the absence of formal titling becomes obvious. No simple words could adequately convey the feeling and mood created by Lightman's genius. OVERALL SCORE The overall score comoines the qualities from past present and future musical artistry: in whirpool mixture of orchestrations, contemporary musical tradition. Lightman composed both the score and lyrics of the album. The modern poetical lyrics never revert to the trite messages and themes of average modern songwriters. Above all, Lightman is able to achieve a relevance to the listener at all times. MESSAGE The general message if it can be pinpointed is a somewhat pessimistic view of life in the modern institutionalized world. The world seems to be destroying itself as Lightman sings: "Mother nature has given unlimited beauty. Just see what we've done with all that Lightman urges the listener to be content and enjoy the simple things of life, "a rainy afternoon "a Monday morning" or just "the grass between your toes However. Lightman seems to have been dissappointed in his quest for THE FINEST FOUD AT THE LOWEST PRICES Bohemian 208 E. btn. Suect the simple pleasures. He seeks to change his life and discover "where he's at Is truth always beauty and love always truth9" becomes his final disillusioned question. The answer is left to be envisioned by the listener. Words and score by Aaron Lightman. this album is probably one of the most unique to be currently released. The search for self-identity is the problem man faces today in this world: Aaron Lightman has presented his views on this timely problem. The result is this album, "a modern cantata utilizing a chamber orchestra instead of a vocal choir a flow of undefinable music telling a story that need not start or finish in any specific time and place of travel along a precise linear road, the thoughts and voice of one man as he journies through the timeless flowing of the mind to discover his humanity.

Page 17 A twelve-month system of government is the characteristic feature of East Carolina University's Student Government Association. This plan, in use at most of the larger and most of the Universities known for their excellent student governments, was instituted last summer and completed last year. The idea of the newer, more efficient government was first suggested during last summer by the SGA officials. After studying the student governments of those schools which had such a plan in action, the summer school legislature decided to abolish itself as the first major step. This would make it a certainty that the plan would go into effect by this summer. RESULT The SGA then studied the problem again, beginning with fall quarter. 1969. The result of that effort was that the SGA now has a continuous administration for twelve months, including one full regular school year and the following summer session. Officials are elected in the spring of each year. The budget, one of the largest in the nation for any student government, second only to the University of Louisiana, is worked on a six-month basis, with the summer appropriations made in the spring before the legislature adjourns for the year. There is no legislature in the summer. SUMMER SGA Summer SGA is handled by three officials: the President, the Vice-president, and the Treasurer. This year's officers are Bob Whitley, Phil Dixon, and Steve Sharpe, respectively. They maintain offices on the third floor of Wright Annex, with a full-time secretary who can direct the student to them when they are out. For the benefit of those freshmen students and transfer students, as well as those who are simply returning after a long absence, the organization of the SGA is similar to that of the United States government but on a smaller scale and modified to fit the needs of a university. EXECUTIVE BRANCH The executive branch of the ECU student government consists of a president, a vice-president a secretary, a treasurer and a historian. Qualifications for these offices can be found in the 1970-71 edition of The Key, annual campus publication. The present executive officers are: president. Bob Whitley. vice-president. Phil Dixon; secretary. Pam Myers; treasurer. Steve Sharpe; and historian, Mary Fdwards. The second branch of 'lie SGA is the legislative. This branch consists 01 MRC gives recreation opportunities to Hill SGA OFFICERS FOR 1970-71 are (left to right): Mary Edwards. Historian; Steve Sharpe, Treasurer; Bob Whitley, President; Phil Dixon. Vice-president; and Pam Myers, Secretary. representatives elected by the student body to serve in the Legislature. Forty-one By ROBERT McDOWELL The purposes of the Men's Residence Council (MRC) are "To promote and maintain an efficient system of student government in the University residence halls on the men's campus, to foster a wholesome program of social activities, and to aid in fraternal relationships among men residents For these purposes, the MRC maintains a student executive, legislative council, and court. The MRC also provides recreational activities. It co-sponsors the MRC-WRC field day in the spring, operates a recreation room in the basement of Aycock Dormitory and coin-operated laundry in the basement of Belk Dormitory, sponsors two dances each quarter, supeivises intramural track meets. Softball and basketball, and conducts the Ugliest Man on Campus Contest. The MRC also sponsors the Meet-the-Fellows series, which has a speaker and open forum discussion once a month on the Hill, a study hall, an Emergency Loan Fund, and an Annual Awards Banquet foi the installation of new officers and the presentation of awards to outstanding MRC members. Gary King will be MRC president for 1970-71. Drop-add is trial for most students representatives arc elected to that body. The Legislature is the main policy-making part of the SGA. It has power over matters concerning appropriations for campus publications. SGA agencies, salaries of SGA officers, and other expenses that the Legislature deems in the interest of the student body and the academic community. OTHER POWERS The Legislature also has power to override presidential vetoes, to approve or reject presidential appointments, to make laws for the governing of the student body, and to make other laws that it deems in the interest of promoting the general welfare of the student body. The third branch of the SGA is the judicial This branch consists of a number of courts ranging from the Men's and Women's Residence Councils at the bottom of the jurisdictional ladder to the Review Board at the top of the system. Appeals can be made from one court to a higher court These courts are made up predominately of students. The judges of courts are appointed by the SGA President with the approval of the Legislature. TRAFFIC COUNCIL A recent innovation in the student courf system was the Traffic Council, consisting of three students who hear cases involving violations of the car rule, moving violations of all kinds, and all appeals from the parking and other fines involved with transportation. Further information on the Student Government Association of East Carolina University can be found in the new edition of The Key. In order for the SGA to govern the students, h must know what the students want, and familiarity with the organization on the part of every student is necessary tor ?'us reason. Continued from page 11 all courses are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Special permission may be obtained from one's department head for an overload of classes, and "special permission" may be obtained from the instructor or the department head for courses that are closed but still needed by a student. A student should also carry a catalogue with him during drop-add because courses are often closed and another course must be chosen. A person working drop-add will seldom know the requirements necessary to a student in drop-add. Students should ask for courses by number, not by course name. Those who work the drop-add desks do not know every course offered, and cannot help you until the number of the course in question can be found. If a student follows the above suggestions, he will speed up the drop-add process, but he will still probably find it frustrating, if only because he has to stand in line.

Sports shorts Orientation Issue. Fountainhead, Page 19 condensed news By DONALD TRAUSNECK Through its varied athletic program. East Carolina has something to offer everyone in sports, from the varsity to the intramural level, from the active participant to the avid spectator. Known in intercollegiate competition as ? the Pirates, or 'Buccaneers East Carolina is a member of the strong Southern Conference. Other members include Davidson. The Citadel, Furman, Richmond. V.M.I, and the College of William and Mary. In addition to competition with teams from our own league, we compete with members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Southeastern Conference and other teams in the region. Wherever we play, the Pirates make it known that we have come to fight. The biggest new ?thing" in Pirate land is the new look of our football program. Although last year was one of the worst, record-wise, for East Carolina football, the squad is in the midst of a giant building program under new head coach Mike McGee and an entirely new staff. SINGLE WING GONE Last year saw the final use of the ancient single wing at East Carolina. Under Clarence Stasavich. now Director of Athletics, this strategy was effective. Now. however, with teams scoring 40 or 50 points a game regularly, it's time to change our strategy .So we have instituted a new pro-set offense. If an optimistic attitude is the key to success, then look out for Pirate football in the coming years. To be a powerhouse, you must recruit and so far McGee has gotten such players as Carlestcr Crumpler, Kenny Moore. Lcs Walker and Dennis Worek to name but a few of several dozen. Football isn't all that's happening at ECU, either. The swimming squad captured its fifth straight conference crown last winter and Jim Griffm. perhaps the best swimmer ever to compete for ECU, will be back for hisjunioi year. SWIMMERS COMPETE East Carolines swimmers compete in the ver beautiful Mmges Natatorium, one of the finest facilities of its kind in the area, with the most up-to-date scoring and timing equipment. Basketball is anothei big thing at hast Carolina. Runners-up to Davidson in the regulai season the past two years, the Bucs met an abrupt end to the 1969-70 campaign at the hands of Richmond in the conference playoffs hut there is every indication that the Pirates will be up there again next year. Tom Quinn, illustrious cage coach, has been in the process ot recruiting replacements for graduating stars Jim Modlin and lorn Miller. They finished one. two, respectively, in team scoring last year leading the Bucs to a 16-10 final mark. Bill Carson has brought the Buc trackmen a long way in just one short year with his current crop of talent. On his 1969-70 indoor and outdoor squad, which finished 1 -0 and 3-2. respectively, in dual competition and third in the conference, were only one senior, no juniors 12 sophomores and 20 freshmen. John Welborn. as coach of the wrestling and golf squads came up with two conference runner-up outfits this past year and has been very instrumental in helping to get East Carolina where it is on the athletic field. BASEBALL SQUAD One can't forget about Earl Smith's baseball squad when talking about ECU'S athletic achievements. The Bucs, under Smith s capable guidance the past eight years, have won three conference titles, in 1966 1968 and 1970. and have gone to the playoffs four times. This past year, the team finished 20-13, captured the conference crown, and travelled to Gastonia for the District Three playoffs, where it was eventually derailed. ECU also fields varsity teams o( high caliber in soccer, cross-country, tennis, crew and lacrosse and sponsers a very successful karate club ?iA,nn?

Practice starts at 5 p.m. everyday of the football practice field. FOOTBALL CAMP June 7 marked the beginning of the first of two ECU Football Camps. The camp is set up to teach junior high and high school football players the fundamentals of the game. Blocking, tackling, running. passing and receiving are just a few phases taught at the camp. Students go through the same off-season training program ECU players do. This includes both unit and team training. All other ECU faculties, such as the pool, dormitories and classrooms are available for their use. ECU Head Football Coach Mike McGee is in charge of the program Assisting McGee is his twin Jerry. Carl Reese. Sonny Randle. Henry Trauathan, and Al Ferguson, of the ECU coaching staff. In addition to the ECU staff.

Fountainhead, Page 21 IS SITY Congressional seniority system Tough habit under attack from liberals By BILL CONNELLY Washington Correspondent At the age when most men have to retire, a member of the U. S. House of Representatives may be reaching the peak of his power and influence. The seniority system rewards those who survive, whether they be able or incompetent dedicated or lazy, beloved or despised. If a congressman can live long enough, win all his elections and belong to the majority party, he can be sure of eventually becoming a committee chairman and exercising significant power in the House. In the 91st Congress, for example, the average age of a committee chairman is 70. Three chairmen are in their 80s, seven in their 70s, eight in their 60s. Only three are under 60. A century ago, before the seniority system was so rigidly observed, the average chairman was in his 40s. Thus, while the trend in American business is toward earlier retirement while a majority of the population now is 25 or younger, the House increasingly puts a premium on age. The prime beneficiaries of the system, of course, have been Southern Democrats from one-party districts. Assured of re-election, they have dominated the Congress during most of this century, using their power to assert the conservative regional viewpoint and often to thwart the national Democratic party's programs. The current attack on the seniority system by a group ol Democratic liberals (mostly young) is aimed at unseating the Southern barons. It was a minor victory for the young turks last week when the House Democratic caucus agreed to conduct a study of the system. But it is highly unlikely that the study itself, scheduled tor completion in January, will lead to any important changes. Knowing this, some of the young rebels are threatening to vote with the Republicans next January in organizing the House rather than go along with the system for another session. By making a deal with the Republicans for control of House leadership posts, the Democratic liberals could unseat the Speaker and all their party's committee chairmen, many of them Southerners. . , ?. , The odds are that this will not happen. But if the rebellion continues to draw support, the pressure may lead to some modification of the system. At the least, older members are going to be forced to re-examine the custom of seniority. It is just that a custom. The system is not part of the law or o the House rules. The Speaker appointed committee chairmen tin d 1910 when the House revolted against the authoritarian leader hip of Joe Cannon of Illinois and assigned a committee on committees t0 Butrom 1910 to 1946, even the committee did not make its selections solely on seniority. It often vtotaled the cu?om usually compensated the offended member by making him cha.rman of another committee. ,i ioaa .uhpnthe Rig,d adherence to seniority did not begin until 946 when h number of committees was reduced from 48 to,191uving ess flexibility in the assignment of chairmen. Committee member and chairmen are now chosen by the Democra ic members of he powerful House Ways and Means Committee, sitt ng as the Committee on Committees. The Democratic caucus has the power to overrule the committee's selections but never does Adherents of the seniority method make ?? J? for it. They say the system creates stability in the Housb y anng experienced chairmen and by avoiding eternal compention for leadership. Congressmen can concentrate on their work it is argued, when not fighting over chairmanships. ?.nioritv are Another advantage is that chairmen f? independent of their another system, it is contended, a President niig chairmen of his party who did not support h, program .Abo. the seniority rule makes it impossible for special mterest groups lobby for election of a chairman friendly to their caie. But the arguments of W ty, logic. The system rewards medmenty Ur its.plattorm prevents a national?u ?? L? their most WASHINGTON elect their own chairmen. Or the majority caucus might elect them. Under any system, some of the positive values of seniority could be retained by letting the Speaker or the committee choose from the three most senior members. Some congressmen also have proposed that age limits be set for chairmen, that a chairman's tenure be limited, or that the chairmanship be rotated every two years among the committee's three or four senior members. Whatever happens and don't expect any major change to come soon the pressure for reform is certain to intensify. Even Southerners may not favor the system much longer, because there are fewer "safe districts in Dixie every year. SANTA MONICA, Calif.

Professional goals and requirements not in line with higher schools By ROGER WOOD Instructor of Art Spring is the time to re-evaluate ore's purposes and to decide on future courses of action. It is particularly so for me as I will be leaving this institution shortly and will be teaching in a different type of college in a different part of the country. Therefore, these reflections bear not only on my teaching at this University, but also on the goals and purposes of the University as a whole. LACK OF SYMPATHY What particularly struck me during my stay at ECU was the lack of sympathy for the individual and the almost total disregard of individual students's needs and goals displayed by both faculty and administration. Coming from northern liberal universities. I felt this lack is particularly apparant. It seems that as one goes southward in this large country, the concern for the individual lessens. Most of my remarks will deal with the causes and reasons for this lack of concern for the individual student. EXPANSION Most of the talk on the part of the administration (see the President's Report) and the faculty concerns ways in which ECU can be made larger, can build more buildings and classrooms, and can improve the physical facilities. This is highlighted by the tremendous power enjoyed by those officers of the University charged with maintaining and improving the physical plant and with business matters. Literally, they have final say on almost every aspect which concerns the classroom, except perhaps problems relating to course content course changes, and the actual day-to-day teaching. This is negatively shown in the lack of teaching responsibility given to the individual instructor, associate, and assistant professor. Teachers on these levels are basically treated like graduate assistants at a normal Northern University. The question arises: what is the reason for this problem at such a peaceful, conservative, rural university, with few of the problems and headaches of more metropolitan institutions? 1 believe that part of the answer President's goals students (though some graduate students are among the best and most concerned teachers at ECU), and less attention to their individual needs. This is a hard price to have to pay for simply increasing the physical size and obtaining more funds, as most students will attest. Also, this expansion necessitates less stringent requirements, and relaxed involves the vis-a-vis the development of the professional goals. University, and part the lack of vocalism and concern displayed by students and faculty in relation to classroom problems. CREDIT GIVEN In the President's Report, the tremendous expansion and transformation of ECTC into ECU is highlighted, and rightfully so. Most of the credit is given to President Jenkins. Starting from a small rural Teacher's College just a few years ago, we now have one of the largest Universities in the state. This transformation has been well-planned and methodically approached. In the process of this transformation, the student population and COMMON KNOWLEDGE It is common knowledge among students and faculty familiar with both N. C. State and Chapel Hill that requirements and professional goals at these two fine institutions far exceed those at this institution. However. relaxed requirements are ultimately the price one must pay for increased size. Deans and Department Heads generally have a difficult time in limiting their schools or departments to weildy sizes. Also, with this situation, it is difficult to both attract and hold excellent teachers because good teachers prefer to teach tne stuaeni pupuHuv ? nl d students. and want to faculty size have been increased only got manv fold. One of the reasons for this expansion was highlighted in a recent report in this paper, explaining that as the enrollment at ECU exceeds 10.000 students this institution will be able to request (and no doubt receive) more money, both state and federal, for improvements and for construction oi' much needed classroom space. Hopefully, there will be adequate student enrollment next year to qualify for this money, and to place ECU physically in the top part oi North Carolina's University system. HARD PRICE What this expansion has meant for the average student at this Universitv is a different matter. Generally. it has meant incieased classroom size, more teaching by less-adequately-trained graduate have real classroom responsibility in all aspects of the teaching situation. Good teachers also generally respect and solicit individualism in students, and when students are not permitted or encouraged to express their creative energies (constructive ones, that is). good teachers become frustrated and look elsewhere for more stimulating environments. REAL INTEREST After all what else could there be of interest in Eastern North Carolina but a concerned, vital, individualistic student oody. able and willing to be creative and dynamic0 The only other thing of any real interest in this part of the country is the ocean, so no wonder so many students spend so much time there instead of in classes or working on class assignments.

Uo, TU?Y CALL THEMSELVES RCK SHAW AMD -THE KOOLlZStt Education is not found entirely in the classroom There will be approximately lour thousand students enrolled on this campus during each session of the summer. Most of these students will be here for one purpose to get an education. Most of these students, however, will do nothing extra in order to obtain that education. They will probably attend classes, do the minimum amount of work necessary to get by. never read the newspapers, and never really be aware of what is happening in the world around them. But can a person get the education that he should bv simply doing the minimum amount of work Is a student in this situation able to learn what he needs to know in order to cope with the many problems of his environment' Hie answer is a resounding NO. Students are now realizing, as are many other members o' the community, that problems such as ecology. Vietnam, the ghetto, unemployment, inflation, the housing shortage, the vote tor 18-year-olds, and main others, cannot be ignored much longer. Indeed, their prevelance today is due in a large measure to the lack o( factual information on the subjects, or to a lack of open-mindedness which is caused In prolonged ignorance. There is a revolution raging throughout the country. Students have become spokesmen for those who would want to cure the nation's ills, and the nation is responding slowly. But bv the year 1980, the population projections sa that the youth o' the 12-25 age group will be the majority in this country, so they had better not be ignorant, as their fathers and grandfathers were. Ihes cannot afford to ignore the problems of the world: this has been done until now and lo and behold, the problems have not gone away: . Only education can overcome ignorance. And education does not consist entirely of sitting in a classroom and memorizing facts for the test. In tact, that kind o- education is fast becoming obsolete m our soc.etv. One must get involved in other affairs. A number of students are doing this by participating in demonstrations, marches, workships. seminars, and discussion groups. Others condemn these activities as un-American. They are not. riu-N are American in the greatest sense of the concept. The American Revolution proves that. There is another Revolution today. As one means of aiding in this Revolution, this newspaper strives to prov.de factual and current information, in hopes that someone will not.ee and get involved. Everyone must do his part. Perhaps that explains the meaning of the slogan: and the truth shall make you ree That's what the Revolution is all about truth and freedom. ountainhead WAYNE B.

Good luck on an enjoyable and profitable summer. Sincerely, Bob Whitley President SGA Dear Editor: There were two letters in the May 11 issue of the Fountainhead with which I disagreed; one was from Greenville attorney Jerry Paul and the other from John Sheldon and Sandra McClendon. In regard to Mr. Paul's letter, the blame for the situation at Kent State can neither be placed on the National Guardsmen and state government officials nor on the students. The students were protesting violence yet, they incited violence themselves. They were actually defeating their own purpose. State officials and the Guardsmen were only protecting state property, part of which these students had destroyed. It is the duty of state officials to protect property owned by the state. They were only doing their duty. The students were also exercising their right to "peaceful" dissent. The incident was unfortunate, but the blame is not entirely either party's. Maybe Mr. Nixon and Mr. Agnew are trying to work for the majority o' the voting public and not simplj foi a dissenting minority. Alter all, it is the voters who placed them in the positions they occupy. Mr. Pan' seems to reflect the opinion in Ins lettei that Mr. Nixon is some type of great god in Washington who formulates the entire American policv himself. There is a Congress and his cabinet to advise him about important matters. The majority of the American people elected these men to serve in their behalf. If the dissenting public wants its views reflected, the most logical way to accomplish this would be to find able leaders to represent them and to get people who agree with their views to vote for these leaders. In regard to the second letter, the majority of the students are not forced to leave campus on the weekends. They still have the freedom to choose where they go during their free time. Parties, going home, to Happy Hour. "Free Flicks and the beach are just as much a part of university living as sitting on the mall. Protest is usually conotated as being against a certain viewpoint. It could be that the "Silent Majority" on this campus agrees with present administration policies. Possibly it could be that they have more constructive ways of expressing their dissent if they do disagree, such as writing letters to their Congressmen or voting for a candidate whom they support. Could it possibly be that the reason the 'Silent Majority" does not appear on the mall at various protests is due to the fact that they do not agree with the cause?
