N.( August ;70 Comedy opens tonight By JAMES SLAUGHTER A combination of some of the merriest forms of clowning that have kept audiences laughing for 21 centuries, since they first set Romans to guffawing in the coiosseum in 200 B.C. is coming to the Summer Theatre this week. This is the musical comedy .ailed "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum " which brightened life tor theatregoers in New York. I ondon and Paris. SHREWD SLAVE Graham Pollock, following his portrayal of the Major-General in the Summer Theatre's "Pirates of Pcnance a ill star as Pseudolus. a witty and shrewd slave who plays on the desires of his young master 11 ul the young master's lascivious and aging father for the same girl. J lie girl. Philia. is the most elect able item among a girl-purveyor's stock-in-trade, and the plot's complication is that she has already been optioned by a Roman warrioi and is being kept on reserve lor him by the girl-trader, pending his return from some war or other. ROMPING PLOT The racy romp of the plot follows Pseudolus as he piles desperate deceptions upon deceptions in order to arrange matters satisfactorily for his two masters, father and son. And the old man's battleaxe of a wife must be kept from spoiling the fun. The "chase" climax comes when Pseudolus tries to keep two characters disguised as Philia. and Philia herself, from meeting head on The keynote of the evening's shenanigans is set at the beginning when Pseudolus leads the introductory song "Comedy Tonight The tomfoolery goes into higher gear soon after, when Pollock, with Mark Ramsey (Senex), Gregory Zittel (Hysterium) and Ken Eliot (Lycus), as a quartet of wily slaves and old codgers, devastate a comic song "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid These and the other songs of the show were written by Stephen Sondheini. lyricist for such well-known Broadway hits as "West Side Story "Gypsy" and "Do 1 Hear a Walt" The tongue-in-cheek blending of the world's oldest and most sure-fire gags into the libretto of "A Funny Thing" was accomplished by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. Their deliberate corniness is signaled by the title they chose, a? a parody of the ripe old line favored by so many comedians when introducing a joke in the days of Vaudeville.

'No-knock' provision signed into law By FRED CLAYTON 1 he controversial "no-knock" anti-crime bill finally found its way through both the House and Senate last July 23. when the latter voted 54 to 33 approval of a bastard version known as the District ot Columbia crime bill. The measure was signed into law by Piesident Nixon on July 30. Failing in efforts to push through similar anti-crime legislation on a national level. the administration and Congressional supporters of a hardline crime crackdown settled for application to the D.C. area alone. Those of us who live outside DCs borders are by no means unaffected, for the bill is to serve as a model for legislators through out the nation. It is the Nixon plan in micrososm. This obvious intent was made even more so by Attorney Genreal John Mitchell, who made it quite clear the measure represented the national policy of the Nixon administration concerning crime. It is. in other words, only the beginning. NON-CRIMINALS TOO It is Nixon's foot, more truthfully. Mitchell's axe. in the criminal door.

It permits police officers to enter a dwelling, by force if necessary, announcing neither theii presence, identity, nor intent, providing they have the legal sanction of a "no-knock" warrant. The warrant itself is a piece o paper that has been signed and presented to the officers by a respected member of the bench. Before signing the warrant, of course, the judge must make a rather arbitrary decision that evidence would probably be destroyed, if the officers conducting the search politely knock on the door beforehand.

Not only have Mike McGee and his "new look" varsity been firmly established but another organization the Buccaneer Football Club has been formed and Mike Lynch, club president, reports satisfactory progress to date. Initiated in May through the efforts of Chapel Hill's Don Stewart, the club offers students a chance to play contact football without having to put out the time it would take to compete with the varsity. ENTHUSIASM Since that time, the enthusiasm has grown so tremendously that it looks as though the club may field at least 30 men this fall Original plans called for ECU, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, and a few other North Carolina schools to participate in a club league. However, reports indicate that the club at State is floundering and none of the other clubs have as yet gotten off the ground. SCHEDULING This may call for some changes in the original scheduling so that ECU and UNC will have to play some northern clubs such as Georgetown and other schools from the Washington. D.C. area. The first game on East Carolina's schedule will be played October 2 against UNC in Chapel Hill. The full schedule has not yet been completed. Both the Buccaneer Football Club and the UNC Football Club have progressed so rapidly that each has attained official university recognition The primary roadblock East Carolina's club has had to face is the lack of abundant funds to support the program.

President Nixon has once again demonstrated just cause for his nickname of "Tricky Dickie He has referred to himself as a "strict co nstructionist" concerning interpretation of the constitution. Either he or I had better check the definition of the word "strict One of us has it wrong, and I do not believe it is me. If the "no-knock" provision of this bill does not violate the Fourth Amendment not to mention another section that makes a mockery of the Eighth, then Fatty Arbuckle is not fat. and Martha Mitchell has a small mouth. With contrary a r gu in cuts f r o in such constitutional experts as Senator Sam Frvm still echoing in the Senate chamber. Nixon and his ego remain undaunted. I tear he has been too long surrounded by the "palace guards Please do not misunderstand. I also wish my streets to be safe. I also desire the eradication of drug addiction. But not at the expense of the security of my home and my freedom. Do not tell me I have nothing to fear so long as I walk a straight line: I do not trust my government to that extent. I trust it only so far as I control it. and the "no-knock" robs me of part of that control. The "no-knock" law attempts to fight fire with fire and in so doing makes the cure far worse than the disease, if for no other reason than its permanent effect. To combat disregard of the law by disregarding the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, is to sacrifice the very foundation that lends integrity to. and faith in, our legal system. FAITH SHAKEN This faith has already been shaken to an alarming degree by the existence of ridiculous and unfair laws that ignore all evidence of fact. I fear such a measure as the "no-knock if allowed to stand, would buy far more trouble than it could ever re-sell. a StacUuAC Drive-In Cleaners & Launderers Cor. 10th & Cotanche Sts. Greenville, N.

W& ytr- nrf 0 N sn? deatl By SHERMAN L. CHISOM Throughout most of the history of higher education in the United States, the relationship of college and university students to their various institutions has been determined by the doctrine of in loco parentis. Literally . the phrase means "in place of parents According to College Law, a volume published by the Americanouncu on Education, in loco parentis is "the power which officers of a college may lawfully exert to restrict and control the actions of its students, based upon the fact that in law. the college stands in the same position to its students as that ol a parent in loco parentis and it can therefore direct and control then conduct to the same extent a parent can As a general custom, the concept of in loco parentis probably originated in the'earlv ' English universities, where faculty members often owned the school. Tom Hayden. writing in the Cohen and Hale anthology. The New Student Left maintains that from these English origins the concept was brought to the United States where it has been reinforced by the fact that higher education in this country is most often controlled by either the state or orthodox religious groups which place a high value on strict discipline and conformity. In his article entitled "University - Student Relations and the Courts, which appeared in Politics 70. an annual publication of the Political Science Department here at East Carolina University. Dr. Tinsley E. Yarbrough notes that the legal doctrine of in loco parentis developed primarily as a defense in -tort liability suits against teachers who had administered corporal punishment to grammar or secondary school students COURT ACCEPTANCE Courts accepted in loco parentis as an extension of the legal precedent established in the case of Stevens v. Fassett (1847). in which the court held that a parent had the right under the common law to maintain the order and discipline of his child. According to Yarbrough, it was then assumed that a parent could delegate to an educator that portion of his parental authority deemed necessary to accomplish the educational objective. This doctrine, together with what are commonly referred to as the "contract" and "privilege doctrines, gradually came to be applied to higher education, thus giving college and university administrators virtually unlimited authority in dealing with students. . The student became obliged to accept a high degree of administrative control over his life in the university community (and often far beyond it), in most cases without any pretense of substantive or procedural rights during and after any possible actions against him In addition, there was generally no recourse to judicial or other appeal in the event of conviction. PRIVILEGE'THEORY From the brief summary above, one is able to discern the basis of loco parentis theory. Generally speaking, it assumes that in the event d conflict between the student and the university, the administratoi or other official of the university has absolute authority in dealing with the situation, and the student is, for all intents and purposes, powerless to influence the eventual resolution of such conflict The "privilege" theory serves to reinforce this type ol relationship by asserting that attendance at a public university is a privilege rather than a right, thus the student remains in the university only so long as he does not abridge his privilege to attend. The "contract" theory likewise places the student in dependent status It assumes that the student tacitly accepts any and all conditions placed upon him by the university by the fact of his registration This type of arrangement is described bv Dr. Yarbrough as a "contract of adhesion that is, all the power is s N, m m reserved for one party in the contract, the second party merely adheres to the terms dictated by the first. The most visible manifestations of in loco parentis on the majontj ol campuses are the myriad of regulations on student behavio. which generally take the form of dress "codes, women's closing hours, and provisions which give administrators an absolute veto over all actions of student legislators. Such provisions as these are examples of what lorn Hayden refers to as the, "preparatory" theory regarding student-university relations. Preparation involves the process of encouraging student participation in such essentially meaningless activities as student government, which supposedly function as make-bebeve models of the real world. In such situations the student exercises make-believe "powers and may even pass "legislation" all of which is subject to veto by various deans or other members of the university bureaucracy. MORE THAN RULES But one must not make the mistake of assuming that in loco parentis is merely a set of rules which proscribe certain types of student activity It is much more In loco parentis is in reality a whole attitude structure "? the student with an endless sea of bureaucratic red tape that B.designedto produce "well-rounded" persons who will fit, without rea1 corporate morass that is loosely referred to as "society The serious finds himself constantly impaled on the horns of a virtually Importled m he is on the one hand exhorted to develop and grow intellectualK whUe on the other hand he ,s limited at every turn by the fules and "1 discourage any initat.ve which goes beyond the limits previously established D. it TthTs situation that Hayden describes as "paradoxically discrinimator? the fact that the very students which supposedly represent the cuectuw elite" of the future often find that they have less meaningful control overui lives than any other group in society.

The whole attitude structure which a upon the in loco parentis might best be described as one of Paternansbnons paternalism is not unlike the paternalism which has characterized race in this country throughout most of its history. PATERNALISTIC ATTITUDE This paternalistic attitude assumes a number of things. First of all. " that those in power have all the answers and are qualified to dicta e subordinate group, in this case the students, what is to be udI' uitude manner in which the subject matter is to be approached.

As a result, we are witnessing the growth of what might be termed an "educational industry The university is being restructured along the lines of a large corporation, and the student comes to be regarded as a product rather than a person, a product which is belched forth annaully into an atonisphere polluted with hollow rhetoric about "keys to the future a product designed to fit into the large machine that is know as "society Is such a university a "community of scholars? It would hardly seem so. UNIVERSITY BUREAUCRATS The rise to prominence of the bureaucrat in the university, and the development of the university as the chief training ground for corporate industry has lead to some highly pertinent and insightful observations on the nature of the administrative mind. In his article "An End to History which appears in the New Student Left, Mario Savio maintains that the university administrator has reached the conclusion that history is at an end. Savio. the pioneer leader of the Free Speech movement at Berkley during the early sixties, found that the unresponsive bureaucracy with which he had to deal had apparently decided that the university had reached the ultimate level of development. According to the bureaucrat. World War II was the last event which was capable of catalyzing change on any broad front, and with the development of the postwar technology the United States could look forward to an era of material plenty and self-indulgence by maintaining the status quo. both in the university and the society at large Thus, Savio observes, it is necessary for the university to restrict the exercise of whatever rights that might interfere with the development of the technological millineum. ? . . The student-product of such an educational system is notably lacking in several important ways. The "Port Huron Statement issued by the Students for a Democratic Society in the fall of 1962. takes note of a number of these deficiencies It cites as the most important of these the isolation from reality which results from the application of in loco parent principles to the university-student relationship. Four or more years of "constant rehearsals do re to adequately prepare the individual for life in the real world. While in the umveristv. the student operates in a ventable wacuum, without the bene i of SubTtantWe rights and the responsibility which accompanies them. Coupled with this is the high level of specialization within the university which is d sLed t produce specialists for corporate industry.

Monday, August 3.1970, Fountainhead, Page 7 (Continued from page 8) while they fill up their prescriptions for pep pills, sleeping pills In other words (although the meaning is perfectly clear as stated), many people are hypocrites if they use certain dangerous chemical drugs and condemn those who smoke the leaves of a natural plant. Where in your letter do you answer or even discuss the problem of the middle class drug sub-culture ? The editorial also speaks of tobacco and alcohol, and yes, you did indeed write a few words on the subject. You speak 0f "More effective control of alcoholand e v e n () cigarettes May 1 ask. Mr. Mallory, what "effective control" means? Does it mean outlawing cigarettes and alcohol? 1 hope not. You can't mold people's pnnit Unkitr V repressive measures, and I assume the Dean of Men at ECU would believe in more enlightened methods. 1 will assume, then, that "effective control does not denote "making illegal No coubt you mean educating people on the dangers of alcohol and tobacco. People attend a university in order to become educated, and 1 assume the Dean of Men believes in education, not repression. Considering your college audience, Mr. Mallory, you should be more careful in the words you use. "Effective control" really means nothing in itself, but it could mean many things. But back to the issue at hand. On the question of legalization of marijuana you write "never Next you write a hackneyed stereotyped description of a marijuana user which sounds like it was in fact run through a Wuei'S fAoiWee The Forum computer. "Physical appearance deteriorates, class attendance becomes sporadic, grades fall, and the individual becomes a social drop out Out of context, this sounds pretty much like a prohibition era description of an alcoholic. We are supposed to "effectively control" alcohol usage, but keep marijuana labeled as a killer drug, class it with heroin when we write laws? In this case we don't educate, but instead classify users as hardened criminals and throw them in jail with murderers. With marijuana education is not enough. People experiment with hard drugs, Mr. Mallory. (and 1 think I know at least as much about the subject as you) because you force people into using hard narcotics when your laws catagorize marijuana on the same level with heroin. If you are emphatic against reform and education concerning marijuana, perhaps you are prejudiced against educating people on other levels too. Perhaps "effective control" is synonymous with repression in your meaning after all. Perhaps education isn't important to you. I have learned nothing from your letter, and it doesn't even answer the eflitorial as you said it would. But it is an argument and it could convince people to believe what you say. How9 You have loaded your words with emotion, Mr. Mallory. You have appealed to people's biases and their emotions, not to their intelligence. Do you hold the intelligence of your college student readers in such low esteem'7 Or are you incapable of writing a factual, informative letter without to cliches and V 8 SOfMEHoW Goiw& IS I JUST DOM'T THINK THIS TO 0E A &OOD PAACET To 3-HOUR SHIRT SERVICE 1 - HOUR CLEANING Hour Glass Cleaners DRIVE IN CURB SERVICE 14th and Charles St. - Corner Across From Haidee's Complete Laundry and Dry Cleaning Service Join the flfl Crowd Pizza inn 421 Greenville Blvd. (264 By Pass) DINE INN or TAKK OUT Call Ahead For Faster Service Telephone 756-999' 2p, demagoguery? I am a Christian too, Mr. Mallory. but I do not call upon God in print to fight my battles for me When I grew up, I was taught that if I had something important to say, 1 should say it.
