'We're going to make downtown Greenville

lliix announcement was made
Wednesday afternoon by Rob I uisana at a
student rally explaining the proposed economic
boycott ol downtown Greenville
I ins.ma. who had been bammed from
campus pending a trial, returned to address one
oi the largest student assemblies in ECU
history
Approximately (KX) students at the rally
agreed to boycott almost all downtown
Greenville merchants with the exception ol the
Mushroom, Hie Kaleidescope, Bentley's ibc
Leathei Simp and all the bais 1 aiei me
Pirates'i talked ami Georgetown Sundries were
added to the list not to be boycotted
I uisana also pointed out ibai Dt 1 eo
Jenkins, president ol 11 l is on the board ol
trustees ol Wachovia Hank, and I rust Co if
atn ol you people happen to have an a, count
at Wachovia, whs don't you move it out ol
there and get into a decent bank ' he said
Hob Whitley, president ol the SGA, said 'I
am going to do everything in my power to see
that all SGA funds are removed from the
Wat hovia bank I'm thinking about putting it in
the Bank of Winterville They've probably nevet
seen that much money at am one time '
I be boycott does not iik hide Pitt Plaza
except foi the downtown chain shores located
at the Plaza Whitley assured the crowd at the
rally that the campus buses, controlled h the
SGA, would mal sufficient trips to take
students to Pitt Plaza foi food
Othet than those designated places,
everything else is oil limits, said Lu Luisana
'Don't buy anything? don'l go m there? don't
even look at the place
He went on to s? that this should be a
peaceful boycott I just talked to an SBI (State
Bureau ol Investigation) agent and the SBI is
pretty uptight There's been alot oi talk about
guns and bombs and that's not ver cool
'I don'l think that any student should sink to
the level oi the United States government and
slait talking about burning places let's st
keep tins thing cool We can behave better than
the administration or Dr Jenkins O! the Board
ol I rustees We don't have to act like children
and start talking avottt revenge said I uisana
A lettei to the downtown Greenville
merchants had been prepared which I uisana
lead to the students.
The lettei says. 'Yout store is now in the
process ol beina boycotted Die reasons foi this
are multiple. Dr Jenkins' disregard for student
government, failure to treat students as mature
adults and running then government, failure to
Heat adulls and running theil own personal
lives, suspension oi students who were merely
nneratino within student government
framework
'Ibis may appear uniaii to merchants who
seem to be in the grip ol something beyond
then control in tins respect they are m the
same situation as I asi Carolina students who
are under the control ol then administration
In addition to the boycotting, the sudents
made plans at the iall to picket certain
businesses. Cindy Maultsby, an ECU student
working with the plans lor picketing,proposed
the plan to the students at the rally She
stressed the last thai students did have to have
a permit to picket and certain restrictions ate
enforced in ordei to keep from being anested.
Latei the permit to picket was obtained from
the Greenville City Police "he application for
the permit had to be in 72 hours early '
therefore, picketing will not begin-until

Two young men were apprehended leaving
Cotton Hall during a bomb scare early Monday
morning.
After a bomb-threat telephone call at 6:10
a.m University police were evacuating the
building when two men came out.
David D. Baker. 22, and Gary F. Cox. 18,
both of 113 North Jarvis St were arrested by
members of the Pitt County Sheriffs
department on trespassing charges.
Baker was also charged with illegal possession
of a hypodermic syringe and the illegal
possession of stimulant drugs.
A hypodermic syiinge and three packages of
amphetamine drugs were allegedly found in
Baker's possession. He was also charged with
illegal possession of stimulant drugs.
University police quoted Baker and Cox as
saying they had spent the night in one of the
rooms in Cotton Hall.
According to Mrs. Sally Parker, Cotton Hall
counselor, there had been visitation Sunday
from 12 noon until 12 midnight The two
young men had registered as visiting two coeds
and obviously stayed the rest of the night.
Mrs. Parker said that the dormitory residents
are now upset about the incident and some had
expressed the wish to no longer have late
visitation hours.
"I don't know what can be done about this. I
personally do not feel that the other girls who
want visitation should be penalized for what
has happened

UNC professor traces Latin-American policies
By CLAUDIA OLDER
(StaM Wntei)
The United States should conduct business as
usual with Latin American countries regardless
ol whether or not their foreign policy meets the
United State's approval, according to Dr. Henry
A. Lansberger
Lansberger, professor at the Institute of
Social Science at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, spoke Wednesday night
as a part of the Latin American Symposium
His topic was Sources of Radicalism
Lansberger traced the history of the United
State's anxieties about events south of the
border to the Monroe Doctrine With (hat
document, ihe IS tried to keep other nations
trom gaining economical or political interests in
Latin America
There are lour facets ol the United States'
concern over l.jtm America, according to
Lansberger
First, the foreign policies ot the governments
ol Latin American countries, and second, their
economic policies toward the Lnited Slates
Third, treatment of American citizens in
Latin America, and whether or not the Latin
American governments honor their debts to
United Stales citiens
Lansbeigcr ?.aid the United States brings
about much ol the problems in encounters in
Latin Amen, a b ust lack of tolerance for the
countries' foreign policy or economy
The United States economic interests in
Latin America is a growing source of irritation.
The people of these countries feel that their
economies are too dependent upon the tax
money gathered from foreign and primarily
United States interests in their major natural
resources The governments feel it is too
dangerous for the economy to be tied to a food
export because of the shrinking and unstable
market. Lanshergei said
The only way to remedy the situation that
the Latin American governments can see is to
have control over or to nationalize the natural
resources. Tjien these countries will be free to
DR. HENRY A. LANSBFRGER
told the Latin American
Symposium that U.S. anxieties over

events south of the border began
with the Monroe Doctrine.
"get in or out of the market as best benefits
them" said Lansberger.
Another source of irritation in the
economic aspect is foreign ownership of the
new and dynamic industries such as automobile
manufacturing. These new and growing
industries belong in the hands of the people of
the country in order to benefit the economy,
according to Lansberger.
Most of the countries in Latin America are so
deeply in debt to outside countries that it takes
onethird of their national profit to pay these
debts and interest. This combined with the
other economic irritations, said Lansberger,
leads to political radicalization.
The governments, finding themselves in such
a bad economic situation must intervene. "It
would be ludicrous to leave the economy to a
free market said Lansberger The present
trend is to solve the problem by nationalizing
industries and banks
The United States sees this as a rejection of
the "right way" and a step on the road to
Communism, according to Lansberger. In
truth, it is the simple matter of the American
way not working for underdeveloped countries.
Using Chile and Cuba as examples,
Lansberger pointed out the contrasts and
similarities in the progression of the two
countries from United States economic
domination to complete nationalization as in
the case of Cuba. Lansberger pointed out
there is a g. od possibility that the United
States' reaction to Castro's policies is what
forced him to align himself with Russia. It
appears that the United States is about to do
the same thing with Chile.
The initial cause of radicalization in Latin
American countries stems from the people of a
country thinking that the government and the
wealthier people of that country do not wish to
better the economy, ac-nrdirj to Landsborgcr

SGA officials discuss
year s achievements
By SANDY OVERCARSH
Thursday
By SANDY OVERCARSH
(Sun Writer)
For theflril lime the SGA offlcei extended
Ihrough. 12 month term instead of the usual
mne-month and three-month summer term jV
assuming the rcsponsihiht.es of offlct In'the
summer. Phil Dixon, SGA vice-president, feels
lha the new officers art given a chance to learn
then duties and get many things accomplished
before Fall when things are more hectic
Bemg in office during the summei enables
the new officers to Kan, which people to
contact lor action m certain fields. Better
coordination and follow-up was the result of
this year's 12-month term, according to Dixon
nurmg this year the biggest accomplishment
ai inst was the re-vamping of the Publications
Board, said Dixon Tins opinion was also held
b SGA treasure! Sieve Sharpe and President
Bob Whitley. he nev. Publications Board has
been given control of the publications, much of
the tension between the SGA and various
publications will he relaxed
Perhaps second in importance to the new
Board was the proposal lor a new SGA
constitution A problem of lack of clarity
existed constantly m the old constitution.
"In my opinion, there is not ambiquit) in
the new constitution and it is much more
workable constitution said Whitley.
Another area of concern of the SGA is their
interest in the drug problem which exists ai
ECU, "I'm very pleased the SGA has supported
the RIAL organization said Whitley. The
SGA initially funded the REAL house after
several representatives attended the SGA
Southern Convention.
Also, the S(iA is studying the possibility
ol hiring a lawyer for use by the student and
the SGA
The emergency loan fund was expanded this
year and a lurid of SI .600 is now under
consideration for loans to girls needing
abortions.
This was the first year the office of minority
affairs has existed in the SGA. Whitley fell that
there has been a great need for the office, and
that the minority student has benefited from
this office.
The Student Consumer Program was enacted
this year A card may be obtained lor a fee of
SI. which entitles the holder to a 10-15 per
cent discount at certain businesses in
Greenville, Greensboro. Chapel Hill, Raleigh.
Durham and Charlotte.
To give the students a voice in Cncenville
government, an SGA Advisory Board to the.
'Jesus Christ. Superstar'
'I'm proud of fhe SGA's support of the WRC and
MRC and their efforts to improve dormitory life
Greenville city Council was proposed
Reading day was enforced on a permanent
basis this year. The new cut system has now
been left up to the discretion of the individual
teachers, and the SGA also supported the
revamping of the General College
requirements.
The SGA sent a delegation of 24 to Raleigh
for a mock session of government legislation.
From this delegation two bills were proposed.
The I.CU Security Council hosted the N.C.
Model Security Council. At a mock session of
the United Nations. ECU was asked to
represent the U.S a position previously given
to schools such as Harvard and Yale
The SGA worked with orientation this year,
and worked with Western Carolina University
to establish a political science course which
included student government and politics.
The Pirateer squad was organized for
basketball games More money was provided lor
the entertainment committee to be used this
spring.
Also, the SGA. working with the Student
Involvement Committee, convinced the
Faculty Senate to drop the mandatory
requirements lor sophomore level courses
"We've backed the MRC and the WRC in
their action said Dixon. "and we've been
responsible for some of the improvements in
the dormitories. We support visitation, and. in
tact, in the initial stages we contacted the Dean
ot Men and voiced our opinion
"One of the things of which I'm proud is the
SGA's complete support of the WRC and MRC
and their efforts to improve dormitory life
said Whitley. "Not only have we supported
them in their efforts in visitation and later
hours, but we have also made refrigerators
available al a nominal charge. By petitioning
the administration last spring, belter cooking
facilities were obtained. It is now possible to
cook in dormitory rooms with hot plates and
other cooking facilities. We petitioned also that
some of the men's dorms should be converted
into women's dorms, and some of the women's
dorms be converted to men's dorms. This will
! come about next year when Tyler will be
converted to a women's dorm, and Slay will be
I converted to a men's dorm We also petitioned
lor more adequate telephone facilities for
dormitories, and this was accomplished in
several of the dormitories
Another accomplishment was the expansion
of the offices. "We did a great deal of
organization this year said Dixon Guidelines
were written to outline the procedures to
follow as to the organization of homecoming,
and the cheerleaders. These guidelines were
filed, m order to eliminate a lot of the
uncertainly as to what should be done in
planning for the various events next year.
An at tempi was made this year to bridge
existing gaps between the SGA and the
students. Through the help of the
Fountamhead. the SGA made available to the
students their financial reports. Whitley's
participation on the Open Mike campus radio
shou gave the students a chance to hear what
was happening in the SGA
About this year in office, Sharpe said, "This
year the students at ECU have showed a sincere
interest to decrease the apathy on our campus.
Through my office I have attempted through
financial recommendations to build not only a
solvent SGA, but also a very strong SGA.
Through the new Publications Board, our
campus publications have been given more
freedom to publish as they desire
Dixon said that this year has been "quite an
experience " He added that because of the
closeness between Sharpe. Whitley, and himself,
more was accomplished.
"Possibly next year it would be a good idea
to expand the powers of the vice-president
said Dixon He also felt that a chairman should
be appointed for the organization of
cheerleaders and homecoming so the
vice-president would have more time for his
other duties.
Through the work of the vice-president this
year, the cannon and billboard were obtained.
The vice-president expanded the recreational
activities on campus. "Maybe we have given the
Opera portrays
enigma'
By JIMBOSWELL
(Campus Chaplain ? Christian Church)
A rock opera concerning the last days of
Jesus! Not a musical, mind you, but an opera in
the rock style!
In hear Jesus Christ crooning the rock idiom
is initially shocking, finally refreshing The
orthodox will obiect that this "Superstar" Jesus
is more uncertain, disillusioned and defeatist
than the Jesus of scripture; the hbeial will set-
in this a lilting reminder ol his humanity Most
who hear the recordine in itsenlirity feel that
its authors are deeply sympathetic toward a
Jesus whom they regard as something of an
enigma
In some ways the star of the opera is Judas,
whose thoughts open and close the work He
thinks thai Jesus' identification with
Messiahship endangers everything, that his
ministry, once a beaunlul dream, has "all gone
sour and thai because Jesus "can't control it
like he did before he must be turned in.
Mary Magdalene, a source of encouragement
and comfort to Jesus, renders one of the fine
lyric moments of the production with her
"Everything's Alright " The character of Mary
deepens still more when we see that this
outwardly collected woman suffers conflicting
feelings toward the man who excercised
compelling power over her. Very poignant is
the ex-prostitute's bewildered confession, "I
don't know how to love him
The high priests Jesus' opponents are
appropriately oily and insidious, Pilate is
sophisticated but desperate; Herod, credulous
but cruel The masses of the people, though
they praise Jesus lavishly, obviously only have a
superficial understanding of him. Their trite
chant Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Hey JC, J( you're alright by me
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
nonetheless evokes at times a powerful and
moving dignity The crowds want a popular
warrior type ("JC JC won't you light lor
me?") as is explicit in Simon and Zealot (the
John Bircher among the apostles) who advises
Jesus.
Keep them yelling their devotion
But add a touch of hate at Rome
You will rise to a greater power
We will win ourselvse a home.
The moving lament of Jesus over "Poor
Jerusalem" shows how counter to these are his
own sentiments: "To conquer death you only
have to die
Equally dull in their misreading of Jesus are
the apostles who appear insensitive and selfishly
ambitious:
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll all talk about us when we've died.
hey are lost in their
Even at the Last Supper
cups and delusions.
Most moving is the tragedy of Judas The
crescendo ol his agony is suggested repeatedlv
by his use of the peculiar rock keen which lies
somewhere between a wail and a sob When the
enormity of his betrayal overwhelms him. he
breaks our hearts by crying out an echo of the
Magdalene's dilemma, "I don't know how to
love him
Parts of the opera mimic, perhaps inevitably,
sounds and rythms of the musical "Hair At
times, blatant jazz elements are present. In his
first confrontation with Jesus. Pilate is too
closely modeled alter Rex Harrison's Henry
Higgins. Herod's song, the most "sacriligious"
on the album, employs a mocking ragtime
which finely indicates something of the ing as
shown in Luke 23.811. The virtuosity ol the
Moog synthesizer effectively dramatizes the
crufixion of Jesus is enveloped in waves of
derisive laughter, screams, moans, and rushes of
sound suggesting excruciating pain.
A great moment comes in the triumphant
swelling of the Superstar themejustat the point
ot Jesus' final degradation The "bio.ken man
cluttering up Pilate's hallway" is, in his deepest
ignominy and because of it. Superstar, glorific.
The tinal non-scriptual word is offered by
the voice of Judas, who. though dead, still lives
as the skepticism of modern man. The closing
sounds, alter the crucifixion, are a gentle music,
tenderly indicating the entombment and leaving
the question of the resurrection to the
beholder. Indeed, the whole production
radically questions,
Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ
Who are you What have you sacrificed
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
(NOTE) "Superstar" will be played in room
308 of the Union on April 4 at 8 p.m. for any
who want to hear it. Several chaplains will be
present to discuss the work.
BOB WHITLEY, OUTGOING President of the
Student Government, feels that the greateest
accomplishment of the past year's SGA was the
re-vamping of the Publications Board. He also
students more pride in the athletic
department said Dixon.
Whitley said. "I think one of the major
accomplishments was convincing the Board of
Trustees to not accept the proposal ol the
administrative ad hoc committee It is my hope
lhal the next administration will study this new
procedure ol class attendance, and will push for
any changes that may be necessary "
Whitley tell that the new administration
should seek to help the drug problem at ECU.
He also felt one of the big problems that w
have to be dealt with is the manner and amount
of activity tee Whitley foresees the removal of
the mandatory activity fee other than tuition
here as well as ai other colleges across the
nation The SGA will have to raise its own
money or have a voluntary activity fee
"The next administration needs to study this
program very carefully said Whnley
Various students worked through the
Student Involvement Committee and in.
Committee of Internal Affairs to get a pjss-iail
system passed for undergraduaies Whnley said.
"I would have liked a pass-fail system enacted
this year
Whitley also expressed the opinion that the
new administration should get the Publications j

apathy as far as the SGA was concerned,
although, he said "there has been a gap between
the SGA and the students
Boaid elected by the student bodj
Although Whnley worked to obtain a lighted
pedestrian walkway between the men's dorms
and Minges. he ran unto counties obstacle!
Permission was obtained ijon, the railroad

yet it was impossible to receive permission from
the property owners to construct it even
though monetary compensation was offered.
Whitley felt there has been a noted decrease

"Although there has been a decrease in
apathy, there has been j gap between (he S(,
and the students because the student lack faith
in the SGA and have convinced themselves the

said. The SGA at ECU as well as anywhere is

Officer, was asked how the demonstration
began Caldei said that Cecil Myers, an ECU
student, had asked I, permission to hold a
peaceful demoratraition on Tuesday.
The basis of Meyers' request was to show
support for Robert Luesana governor of Tyler
Dormitory, who had been suspended from
school pending trial for violation visitation
rules, according to ('aider.
Calder requested Myers to postpone the
demonstration until after the March .11 meeting
of the Board of Trustees. It was made clear to
Myers that regardless of when the
demonstration was to be held that it would
have to remain peaceful, said Calder Myer

according to Calder, did remain peaceful as

(SlaM Writer)
Outgoing SGA president Bob Whitley held a
news conlerence concerning the demonstration
by ECU students Tuesday evening
The Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees announced cancellation of all
interdormitory visitation yesterday.
When questioned. Whitley said that if the
Trustee's decision was based on sound fact and
reasoning that he would have to respect it even
though he disagrees with it
"II the decision was based on recent
demonstrations Whitley said, "the decision is
totally unfounded "
He further said that he would consider such a
decision to be reactionary
The Board issued a statement saying that
their decision was based on a recent poll of
parents who indicated that a certain code of
conduct be upheld by students
"I'm sure this has something to do with their
decision said Whitley. Several of us contest
the idea ol polling the parents.
"We feel that it is a matter for the students
and the administration to work out. It is very
popular in North Carolina to poll the parents
because, of course, it is a very wise political
move regardless of the outcome
Whitley was asked if he advocated any
adidtional protests or demonstrations. The
student leaders are unanimous in their decision
not to support further violence, said Whitley
"We feel thai this has hurt our cause and helped
Jenkins' cause more than anything else.
"It has made him a hero in tht eyes of the
people of North Carolina. What the new SGA
administration advocates is that certain legal
steps be taken
When asked which of Jenkins' causes he was
referring to. Whitley said that Jenkins does not
know what is going on. Consequently, a
communications gap is created said Whitley.
"I contend that if he does want to know what
is going on that he spend more time becoming
familiar with the campus and less tune
becoming familiar with Raleigh
Whitley said that he woule have appreciated
a negative answer regarding visitation rather
than- no answer at all. "We have an answer
today, but it has been nearly three weeks since
Jenkins said it would only be a day or two
said Whitley. "He should have notified us that

want Leo
However, Jenkins did not
appear
Spokesman for the
city police department said
ECU requested the assistance
of the city, coumy and state
officers, who appeared on the
campus in riot gear.
ARRESTS BEGIN
At 1235, they notified the
group that it must disperse in
five minutes. According to
Eichling and another witness,
some were arrested before the
five ? minute deadline" At this
time the buses came, and
many of those lining the
sidewalk were arrested
The students moved back
onto the campus lawn and a
few began throuing rocks.
After waiting through about
half an hour of chants and
insults, the police, in mass,
charged into the crowd to
disperse it. They arrested
more studetns.
Afcr the crowd dispersed,
student leaders Whitley,
Crowshaw. and Honnet
started a campaign to raise
bail for those who were
arrested. Radio station
WECU was the center bf
bail-raising activities. A local
bondsman was paid to post
bond. By 6:30 a.m.
Wednesday, all those arrested
were out on bail.
In the wake of Tuesday
night's disturbace, Jenkins
suspended all visiting
privileges, acting on the
orders of the Board of
Trustees Executive
Committee
He added that the visits
would be barred until the full
trustees board had met to
consider changes in the rules.
A spokesman said no meeting
had been scheduled by
Wednesday.
He said that the suspension
of arrested students was
common procedure in such
cases. He also said that he had
no report on the students
who had voluntarily tinned-in
their ID cards. When
informed, he said he had no
power in that case.
Of the arrested students,
Jenkins said, "If they are
booked in violation of
disorderly conduct, they will
be tried in a civil court.
However, if they are booked
in violation of a campus rule,
they will be tried on campus.
They can be tried in both
places
Regarding the delay in
visitation, he said that he sent
a copy of the MRC visitation
proposal to the Executive
Committee the day he
received it, and that he didn't
see why he was dragging his
feet because he had mailed it.
WHITLEY SPEAKS
Whitley, in a news
conference following
Jenkins said that he felt the
demonstrations had hurt the
students' cause and had
helped Jenkins' cause.
He charged that Jenkins'
lack of familarity with
student concerns had
contributed to disturbances
that brought police onto the
campus.
"I contend that if he
(Jenkins) does want to know
what is going on that he
spend more time becoming
familiar with the campus and
less familiar with Raleigh
remarked Whitley.
Whitley said the
demonstration Tuesday night
followed a year of
negotiations between
students and the
administration over the issue
of dorm visits "exclusively
through the existing
framework of authority
He said that Jenkins
received authority from the
trustees to change visitation
rules and had himself agreed
to make changes. "Since that
time, three weeks have passed
and no decision' has been
made .1 contend Dr.
Jenkins should not have said
one thing and done another
Whitley also said that he
and Jenkins had spoken of
the fact that the
demonstration would make
Jenkins popular in the state.
Earlier Jenkins had stated.
"It cost the taxpayers of
North Carolina $1,107 per
student for an education at
East Carolina. Therefore, it
seems almost mandatory that
the purpose of the students
be to obtain an education,
not to disturb the peace of
the taxpayers who are paying
for their education
was possible that these delays were engineered
to draw out a demonstration
"Yes. I think that is possible I've contended,
and Dr Jenkins has also told me. that
something like this would make hun a very
popular man in this state I really feel that he
could have stopped this "
"I think that psychological gains entered into
what happened concerning visitation policy
said Whitley "Since the students strongly
advocated a new visitation policy, it would look
like the admin 'ration was givuig in to the
demands of the students Rather than giving in.
like it would normally do. the administration
decided not to give in because the people of
North C arohna would think they were giving in
to the demands ol the students
Whitley said that it is time trial students were
treated as adults He feels that it is the students
who should be consulted regarding policies
rathei than the Board of Trustees or parents.
"Wc feel that the Board of Trustees and our
parents are too far removed from the
situation said Whitley "All we ask is that we
fce listened to and that when we dare to
disagree, as we have in this instance, that we be
treated as adults and not be called names or
anything else
"I think that it is a shame that the students
body president can not disagree with the
president of the university without being
subjected to name-calling
Whitley also said thai the SGA has run out of
excuses for the administration "We feel that it
is time that the administration started making
its own stand he said.

HIGH FLIGHT
By John Gilletpic Migec. Jr.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered
wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tum-
bling mirth
Of sun-split clouds?and done a hundred
things
You have not dreamed of?wheeled and
soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and Hung
My eager cralt through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with
easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrcspassed sanctity of spice,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of
God.

Economic boycott
will bring results
The ECU administration's handling
o the entire visitation problem, from
the Dean of Student Affairs, James
Tucker, through President Leo Jenkins,
to the ECU Board of Trustees can be
described as nothing short of asinine.
During this highly efflo t io nal
situation it has become obvious that
when push comes to shove Jenkins
and the Board of Trustees completely
bpass and ignore the various official
student governing bodies, of which
Jenkins et al have spoken so highly so
many tunes in the past.
After months and months of delay
alter delay, the Executive Committee
of the ECU Board of Trustees stated
Wednesday that "all inter-dormitory
visitation priviligcs are cancelled
We feel that the near riot and large
number of arrests Tuesday night, the
suspension of Robert Lousana and
other involved students, the
cancellation of visitation, and the
extremely high level of ill will and
resentment currently flooding the
campus are all direct results of a
Board of Trustees composed of
reactionary old men who are living in
the past, a university president who
has little if any knowledge of his own
students' problems, and a dean of
student affairs who perverts and
distorts his reports of campus
occurences
The major problem is not whether
or not we are able to implement a
more liberal visitation policy, but
whethei or not we can alter the
current lack of administration
competence.
It we have no one in the
administration who is capable of
intelligent and rational action then
OL'R actions must of necessity be
directed towards changing this state of
affairs before we can all work together
towards improving our campus.
Student pressure must be brought
to bear in a legal and responsible
manner We will get nowhere by
further acts of violence They will
only obscure the problem and delay
the solution.
The ECU administration has made
its move. Now it is our turn.
An economic boycott of downtown
Greenville has been called by the
current Student Government
Association President. Bob Whitley,
and incoming president. Glen
Crowshaw This action has the support
of the SGA. the Men's Residence
Council, the campus newspaper,
members of the AFROTC. members of
the school honor, service, and social
fraternities and the no longer silent
majority of students.
An economic boycott, to be
effective, must have the support of
the entire campus, both students and
faculty alike. By implementing a
successful boycott of selected area
merchants we will be able to
accomplish three things.
First, and most important, is that
Jenkins will be forced to pay more
attention to current problems facing
this university and to take personal
supervision of campus affairs. If he
feels that he can accomplish more by
remaining in the political arena, we
strongly feel that he should resign his
position and allow an individual who
is willing to handle local problems to
assume the presidency.
Secondly, we feel that the current
Dean of Student Affairs. James
Tucker, has contributed greatly to an
extreme lack of student, administration
communication by providing flagrently
distorted information on campus
affairs to Jenkins and the Board of
Trustees. In addition, there have been
many instances where he has
attempted to manipulate the SGA into
supporting administration policies,
thereby seeking to give the policies
the false air of student concurrence.
This individual has been tolerated by
student officials for years. The time
has come for him to be replaced by
someone who has a sense of integrity
and is capable of communicating with
the students.
Thirdly, we feel that the Board of
Trustees and the general public of
North Carolina deserve to be provided
with cast iron evidence that the entire
student body is unified on this issue
and capable of intelligent, rational and
legal action.
We have the power to create a new
wave of dedication to the highest
ideals of responsible and intelligent
action if we can get ourselves
together. There will be many attempts
at dividing us and turning us against
each other. If we allow this to happen
we will surely go down to defeat.
If instead, we use this opportunity
to demonstrate to all who care to
observe that the students on this
campus are mature and sensible
individuals who simply will no longer
accept outdated and pointless
restrictions upon their personal and
private lives, we will inevitably destroy
the older generations current tendency
of ignoring that this is no longer the
Victorian Age,

No favors expected
To Fountainhead
My actions Tuesday night were determined
by the arrest of an employee and some friends
of mine. I did what I did because I did not want
them to spend any time in jail. Nobody owes
me a favor for doing what I did. You must
decide whether or not to boycott Bentleys as
you would any other downtown store
Jay Steinberg
Won't be intimidated
To Fountainhead
After the rally on Wednesday afternoon, I
was placed under arrest at the comer of Fifth
and Cotanche Streets by Greenville city police
officer J.R. Tripp. I was escorted to the county
jail by three officers.
In order to lose my friends, who were
present to find out the charge. Tripp kept me in
a cruiser and drove me around the block. Two
county and one city magistrate searched tor
over an hour to find something to charge me
with. 1 was finally charged with disorderly
conduct and released after payment of a $25
fine
My arrest was the result of a conversation I
was having with Chris Williams. Commenting to
him in a normal tone of voice aobut the
atrocities committed by the police the night
before, I said, "son-of-a-bitch It was then that
Tripp grabbed me by the arm and arrested me.
While in police custody, the officers as well
as the magistrate made insinuations as to the
quality of my character. I told them I
considered their remarks to be uncalled for and
degrading. This resulted in another threat ? one
of contempt.
It appears to me that freedom of speech is

The opinions exprcssod by this newspapor
aro not necessarily thoso or East Carolina University
by broken promises and politically-motivated
delay tactics by Jenkins When the
administration of a major university cannot be
trusted to keep its word on such issues that are
so very important to every student, such
incidents as have occured this week can be
expected.
But the blame can not be legitimately cast
onto the shoulders of a student body that has
had a significant portion of its patience with,
and confidence in, the administration
destroyed.
The actions by the University Board of
Trustees to indefinitely cancel all visitation
fights seems to be only a move to
underhandedly shift the blame for the current
situation to the student body, instead of where
it rightfully belongs, with Dr. Jenkins.
Every radical, liberal, and conservative on
campus knows that Dr. Jenkins has had the
authority, for a good deal of time, to revise the
out-dated visitation policies of the past, in
keeping with the visitation trends that are now
in effect in practically every major university in
the United States
The short-sighted cancellation of all
visitation by the Board will surely not lead to
an atmosphere conducive to restrained
mediation. On the contrary, the action by the
board invites trouble of the worst sort from an
entirely united student body. The absurd
attitudes and actions of the President and the
University Board of Trustees are tantamount to
waving a red flag in front of a frustrated "raging
bull-
unheard of in Greenville. I refuse to be
intimidated by the police and will continue to
use in my vocabulary any word of my own
choice.

Women afraid?
T( Fountainhead:
Why are the women in this school afraid to
s and up for women's visitation as some men
Kave done for men's visitation'1
Women do not desreve the treatment and
rules the administration have put upon us The
double standard is present everywhere on this
campus. Visitation, curfew, social norms, and
even the SGA presidential election demonstrate
the way women become segregated in a inferior
way. Who would vote for a woman running for
student body president no matter how qualified
she was? I doubt that even the Fountainhead
would endorse her despite their motto of "the
truth shall make you free I tlunk in this case
the pronoun "you" refers to men.
Basically, though, women have let themselves
succumb to the discrimination. Men have had
to fight for their rights. Of course, they're not
going to do more than they have to so women
must ruse up on their own too feet. Okay.
There has been a petition with "seven hundred
and eighty-seven signatures" by the women on
this campus endorsing three day visitation
which permits the door to be closed. That's a
pitifully low number of women considering
there are over five thousand female students.
Maybe all those other studnets don't want a
three day visitation. But should that interfere
with the rights of the over seven hundred
women who do? Personally, I want 24 hour
visitation and no curfew and I feel 1 deserve
that right if only because I'm a person.
When the Shea petition reaches Dean
Fulghum do you really think that she will do
anything besides ignoring it? I know a girl who
went around collecting signatures for a relaxed
visitation policy. Miss Fulghum thiew it away
and told the girl to cease making petitions "or
else
Recently the visitation rights of all Cotton
residents were suspended because a girl was
caught with two boys in her room in off hours.
Such a responsibility rests on an individual
where one move can upset other individuals.
One person represents only one conscience and
that one person should follow her own
conscience without fear of consequences which
punish others in addition.
The visitation policy in women dorms is
completely unfair. What are you doing about it
WRC? Where are you, do you even exist? I'm
tired of waiting for you to wipe out the
disturbing regulations made by the old men
who really run this campus
C'mon. Stand up girls, fight for what are
your human rights, damn it. Nobody else is
going to do it for you and that's a fact.

Was only watching
To Fountainhead:
On the night of March 30, 1971,1 followed a
group of demonstrators down from the Hill to
Cotton and Jams dorms where students
entered and gathered. They then left these
dorms and went across the lawn to the front of
president Leo Jenkins' home. The students did
not cross the street, only a delegation to talk to
President Jenkins did cross the street. I was
standing approximately 20-30 yards to the left
of the main crowd which was cnetered near the
larege brick columns across the street from
Jenkins' home I was watching a police "paddy
wagon" come up the street towards where I was
standing and it stopped about 20 yards down
the street from where I was standing which
made the paddy wagon about 40 yards from
the main group The next thing I knew Joe
Calder grabbed me by the arm and started in
the direction of the paddy wagon. I had heard
t
1
no order for the crowd to disperse nor did I
know that i was even being arrested Joe Calder
did not have on a uniform But never the less,
for standing and watching the crowd I was
arrested.
Thomas B Moore
Legislated morality
To Fountianhead:
As some one has stated in one of the
multitude of press releases it is a shame that all
of this had to happen. For too many vears
America has attempted to institutionalize
morality, to legislate it and make it ready made
and manditory Due to the basic differences in
humanity this does not and will not work
successfully. There is hardly a person on this
campus who has not broken a morals law. This
wide spread disregard tor moral law causes in
some a total disrespect for all law and a feeling
of alienation from the agencies of enforcement
This also was the effect on some, such as Lt
Cally, of undermining the ability to formulate a
strong personal moral code. This type of person
accepts the code of what ever institution they
are a part Thus ("ally could, without thought
or question, murder scores of women and
children at My Lai just by his acceptance of the
army's moral code.
It is not the place of Leo Jenkins . the Board
of Trustees, or the state of North Carolina to
administer a moral code to me like legal castor
oil. If Jenkins says that the state of North
Carolina is giving me $1,107 for my education,
I respond with the point that I spend much
more than that in the state economy every year
here.
The purpose of the president of this
university is to keep things moving, with as
little regulation as possible, to provide an
educated public for N.C
It is my opinion that this process will not be
disrupted or shattered by open dorms. It will
just be a better place to live.
Fuck you, Leo

'To alter or abolish
To Fountainhead
Mr Jorgenson, in these times of dissension,
revolution, and turmoil against the government
and other institutions in this country, a certain
segment of a basic piece ol legislation comes to
m"id: That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men. deriving
their just powers from the consent of the
governed, thai whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends
it is the right of the people to alter or abolish
