Delegates win
five awards
Committee established
to deal with visitation
By MARILYN MOODY
(Staff Writer)
The ECU delegation won five awards at the
34th annual session of the session of the State
S'udent I egislature in Raleigh last week
The awards were Best Bill for their
Consumer Protection Credit Act; honorable
mention for the best debater; Tony Harris was
elected president of the Senate. Phil Dixon was
appointed to the Conference Committee
The purpose ot the SSL is to provide an
outlet by which students may express
themselves on North Carolina issues.
Delegations present bills which they wish to see
presented in the State Legislature
The 22 member ECU delegation presented
three bills These were Consumer Protection
Bill, a bill which would prevent any North
Carolina resident from being drafted to serve in
an undeclared war. and a bill changing the
structure of the State Board of Education.
RESOLUTION INTRODUCED
In addition to the three bills presented,
Geoffrey Knowles introduced a resolution
concerning ECU's attempts to gain more
dormitory visitation There was a question from
another delegation on whether or not to
consider the resolution. A vote was taken and a
slim majority decided to consider it.
Aftet the delegation returned to ECU,
Geoffrey Knowles read his resolution on the
Mall Saturday night It reads:
Whereas the present situations at ECU are of
great concern to this body and realizing and
commending past performances of Dr. Leo W.
Jenkins at ECU, and
Whereas; we believe the issue at ECU is not
only visitation as publicized but also that of
student rights, and improper action by the
president of the University, Dr Leo Jenkins,
and the administration of ECU.
"Now be it therefore resolved: the 34th
North Carolina legislature wholeheartedly
supports the students of ECU in their endeavors
and then bid lor recognition and understanding
of theindeasind rights "
Aftet reading the resolution, to the students
on the mall, Knowles described the actions of
ECU's delegation and those of the entire SSL
concerrung the resolution
Knowles said he withdrew his resolution
after other SSL delegations said they did not
consider the issue of visitation at ECU to be an
apptopnate subject tot the SSL.
Another reason for withdrawing the
lesolution was that the ECU delegation was
split on whether or not to present the
resolution
Knowles named the students who opposed
the resolution as Jeff Mann, Jim Early, Phil
Dixon. Henry Gorham, Tony Hams, Steve
Sharpc, and Gerry Smith.
Knowles' statements on the mall led to a
chain of comments from several members of
the ECU delegation.
According' to Henry Gorham, the ECU
delegation was not divided on their ideas about
visitation, as he noted that the Raleigh News
and Observer would have people believe. Rather
the ECU delegation was divided on whether or
not to present the issue before the SSL.
"The majority of us felt that the SSL was to
consider such things as the liberalization of
marijuana laws and not to consider whether one
"erson was to blame more than another person
I
at ECU
However, Knowles who was also questioned
later said he did not feel that the issue is merely
one of visitation I feel that ahngemistake was
made Tuesday night by Dr. Jenkins in his
handling of the situation in front of his house
No students whether one or 2.000, who want
to hear reasons why they are required to do, or
not to do, certain things should be faced with
physical harm or arrest he added.
Another point that was brought up is that
the ECU delegates were not fully aware of what
was going on. The delegation left Greenville
early Wednesday morning before any action
had been taken by the Board of Trustees
Jim Godfrey, vice president of the North
Carolina Federation of College Republicans and
a member of the ECU delegation, told
Fountainhead that there were two reasons that
the delegation was reluctant to take any
immediate action on the resolution The
delegation was waiting to see what would
happen at ECU. and it was expecting some
favorable comments from Attorney-General
Robert Morgan on a bill that ECU had
presented and did not want to spoil the chances
of getting an award.
Gorham did not feel that the SSL was
informed well enough to rule on the resolution.
When Gorham presented his amendment , a
delegate from Duke proposed that the SSL not
consider the ECU resolution A voice vote
carried the motion, but. according to Gorham,
someone called for a division of the House.
There was a division and, when the count was
taken, the SSL voted to consider the ECU
resolution by a slim majority.
KNOWLES"SHAKEN"
Gorham said that after this very small
majority was obtained, Knowles withdrew his
resolution and "stormed out
Knowles told Fountainhead that he was
"shaken" that the ECU delegation voted not to
consider the bill because " as united as the
students feel, we should try to get support from
students everywhere" He feels that the
delegates should have abstained from voting
rather than casting a negative vote.
Dixon said that he drew up the original
resolution which was then ammended by
Gorham and rewritten by Knowles. According
to Dixon, the delegation was unanimous in
their decision to present the resolution if it was
not met with too many negative comments.
Dixon said The resolution would have
needed the backing of the delegations from
UNC-CH, NC State, and Duke as well as from
several smaller schools. Although these
delegations voiced their support of ECU
students and stated that they would encourage
writing letters to Dr. Jenkins and the
administration, they did not feel that the SSL
was the proper place to discuss visitation
Dixon said that it was the negative comments
that made some of the ECU delegates decide to
vote against presenting the resolution to the
SSL. " We felt that it would look worse for the
ECU students if the bill was defeated than it
would look if the bill was not presented at all.
We felt that we accomplished our purpose just
by bringing the issue up
When questioned. Knowles said he wanted it
understood that his mentioning of the names of
those who voted against considering the
resolution "was not to mean that these people
are not for if e students' cause
Visitation continued to be the main topic of
concern Monday afternoon at a regular meeting
of ihe SGA Legislature
The body debated on and passed a resolution
proposed by Day Student Representative Tony
Harris, which sets up a new committee to
discuss the visitation policies.
Approved by a vote of 22 to 4, the
committee will consist of University President
Leo Jenkins, the dean of student affairs, the
chairman ol the Review Board the chairman ot
the University Board, the speaker of the SGA
Legislatuie, 'he chairman of the legislative
Student Affairs and Appropriations
Committees, the SGA president, the president
of the Men's Residence Council, and Cindy
Maultsby, an SGA Legislator, as a
representative of the women.
The approved resolution states in part that
this committee shall "meet at the discretion
and convenience of the president of East
Carolina University to discuss a reconsideration
of the 'no visitation' policy passed by the
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees
of East Carolina University "
There was some discussion a ong Legislators
as to whether or not this is a letreat from the
statements made at the ptevious meeting of the
Legislature, which endorsed students' visitation
pleas as rights, rather than privileges.
However, a portion of the resolution stating
that visitation is a right was stricken from ihe
bill before it was passed.
Harris said that although the new committee
seems to be backing down from the strong
stand the SGA has taken recently, the
Legislature is still solidly behind the boycott
and pickets.
A portion of the resolution slated that . .
SGA Legislatuie shall vigorously support the
present boycott and picket since nearly 10.000
students are being punished and penalized for
the actions of approximately 500
Bob Whitley. outgoing SGA president,
addressed the Legislature lor the last time as
head ot the SGA and defended his stand
regarding the current boycott and students'
actions
"I am not condemning him said Whitley.
referring to Jenkins, who curtailed visitation
rights after an incident last Tuesday evening
"However, I do disagree with the manner m
which he is handling the issue
Whitley also urged a testraint of violence on
campus and requested full cooperation between
the Legislature and incumbent SGA President
Glenn Croshaw
Harris then read a statement condemning the
Legislature for its actions at a previous meeting
in declaring the MRC as sole authority for
any visitation policy on the "Hdl
Glenn Crowshew talks to town merchants at recent
meeting.
Referendum called
A referendum will be held by the Student
Government Association to allow students to
vote whether they want the SGA to work for a
compromise on the matter of vis'tation, or
work for the MRC seven day propose1
SGA president Glenn Crowshaw announced
that the referendum was scheduled for Friday,
April 16.
"The question is serious enough that I feel all
students should have the opportunity to voice
their opinions on the issut, ' said Crowshaw
Although the issue directly involves dormitory
students, it has evolved into a question of
importance to every student on campus "
"The boycott will remain in effect until an
acceptable solution can be achieved he stated

Math lab eases requirement

particularly in Math fiS Howevet there is :o

recent program initiated by hi lulio
Pignani and John Davis ol the math department
can .11 Ic.isi partially help you overcome youi
mental block in math
The math learning lab, .is the program is
called was created 10 offet in-class training and
practice to students having problems with
math
h works tins way each veai during suminei
orientation, in-coining students take math tests
and the results determine which people need
extra help
When the student .nines on campus in the
fall, lie signs up l.M the math learning lab the
quartet pi iot to taking Math 65
Later, when he is actually enrolled in the lab,
lie is offered help from lab director, Vann
I aih.nn and fout niaili majors who act as
assistants Seventy students enrolled foi spring
quartei while 200 were in the Lib during tail
and wintct quarters
In us iiisi yeai ol operation, the math
learning Lib lus faced two majoi problems hue
DR VANN LATHAM we are making revisions
so that we cover the same material as Math
65
(Photo By Rots Mann)
of the problems, according to Latham, is that
many of the students who took the lab lall
quarter still failed Math 65.
"At the present we are making revision in the
program so that we cover the same material as
Math 65 stated Latham. He added that these
revisions have greatly helped the present
student's learning.
The greatest problem is in psychological
motivation commented Latham, He explained
that there is no credit offered for the course, a
student is required to attend every day and the
roll is taken. A student who has trouble with
math often doesn't even want to be in the lab
in the first place and resents these restrictions,
he said.
When asked about the future of the lab,
Latham stated that the program would
definitely continue next year.
Long range plans include the preparation of
individual modules Ol study guides for specific
aieas of math. For example, if a student is
having trouble with giaphing, he could come to
the learning lab and be given a module for
graphing
Latham concluded by saying that he is
currently preparing the modules and hopes to
be able to make a similar module program for
upper level math courses.

The book store sends Roger Bullock t0

According to May. the used book business is
not a very profitable enterprise The major
reason for this is that once a new edition of.

members of the "up, sr crust as earlier
generations of students tended to be, and
simple economic survival is often the most
difficult obstacle on the road to a degiee
The co-ops bear little resemblance to the
traditional cooperative book store, a campus
feature for decades that usuallv operates from
the basement of a campus building under
university supervision
VARY IN SIZE
The new co-ops vary from small, loosely
organized collectives to small corporations
They may hire workers or depend on volunteer
labor from members They may be used as a
source of funds for student political or
community projects, or to help finance student
government activities But mosi important.
they offei such student necessities as food,
clothing and records at prices considerably
lower than retail competitors.
The oldest and biggest of these operations is
Students of Berkeley. Inc which employs 42
ptrSOffl in Hva stores that sell everything from
steieos to art supplies last vear. it grossed
SSOO.OOO, mostly from Its record outlet, which
sells albums at S2 below the list pike
The Berkeley co-op was founded tw years
ago by two officers in the student government
who warned a source ol independent financing
foi activities they fell school administrators
vre no! likely to i ma rue with
student-collected funds Its profits havi
donated to a local child-care center and the
Berkeley Freelink which provides tree
medical service lor i, dige ' and to support
last spring's campus stiike during the invasion
otamhodia
INFORMAL CO OPS
At Boston I ruvcrsity, students have
organized a number of less formal cooperatives
through which they are able to purchase food
at close to cost In one co-op. which has more
than 1.000 members who pay a 25-cent weekly
service charge, the work oi transporting the
tood from produce markets to the co-op office
near the campus is done by the members on a
rotating basis
The savings are considerable A doen eggs,
which sell lor 65 cents in a nearby supermarket,
cost co-op members 44 cents Meats are 10 to
20 cents cheaper a pound, and oranges are hall
as expensive
On Illinois co-op member said "I or the first
time, for some people, there is an awareness of
the dynamics of cooperative effort They may
feel a little more love for their neighbor who
unloaded the truck and weighed out their order
for the week "
The students seeiti to enjoy shopping at
stores they feel arc their own "something
besides plastic, supermarket capitalism as one
pui it. The co-ops have little trouble with thefts
or bad check
"They just don't have (he feeling of being
ripped off as badlv as at other places said a
clerk at Brown
Students are not always the only
beneficiaries. Several Boston co-ops are
patronized by low-income people in the
community, and a food co-op near the
L'niversity of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis
plans to deliver food to the homes of older
customers who are unable to get out.
Some food coops are rather tenuous
arrangements whose managers admit to an
uncertain future because of the transient n; ire
of their student customers. B others, liki he
Peoples' Pantry near the Minnesota campus, re
rapidly becoming community institutions, ihe
Pantry has plans to issue 27,500 shares of stock
to finance its move into an abandoned grocery
store.
While food buying cooperatives are the most
popular there are more than 20 at campuses
from Arizona State to Brown University in
Providence, R.I. there are other kinds as well
UNC
At the University of Illinois campus in
l ih.ma for example, a cooperative restaurant,
the Metamorphosis, is flourishing "We saw a
need for a restaurant that served good food and
wasn't dominated bv fluorescent lights and tile
cam
floors says one of its founders.
Students at the University of Wisconsin in
Madison have begun a clothing store called
Cooperative Threads, that sells handmade
clothes at a small mark-up to cover the store's
overhead At the University of North Carolina,
a student-run cooperative leases refrigerators
for use in dormitory rooms.
The cooperatives are sometimes oiganized
for reasons besides lower prices. At Illinois the
Earthworks General Store sells leather goods
and handmade crafts that are not available m
conimerical stores. The Madison Book Co-op
sells political works and avant-garde literature
not handled by regular distributors.
NATURAL FOOD
At the University of Minnesota. 400 devotees
of natural food have formed the Ecology
Co-op, which sells only organically grown food,
much of it flown in from California Despite
the costs involved, the store manages to sell
most of the food at less than retail prices
There are other benefit? besides economic
gains The Kent Community Store near the
Kent State campus serves as a meeting place
and discussion forum for students and street
people The nearby Defense Boutique, a
cooperative clothing store, donates what profits
it makes to a legal defense fund for Kent State
students arrested in campus disorders last May
Many cooperatives are an outgrowth of the
nationwide campus strike last spring. Since
then, a sense of communalism has grown among
students frustrated by their secminganability to
affect the course ol the war in Indochina More
and more of them seem to be turning inwaid.
away from a society that seems alien to 'hem
and that often regards them with suspicion
HAVING A SAY
John Markulas. founder of the Gentle
Strength Coop at Arizona State I diversity,
said he ,h �ughl the co-op idea was attractive
because it offered people "a chance to take
some control over their lives" Besides having a
say in the kind and quality of goods made
available for sale, co-op members-customers
find that they are treated as more than figures
on a sales chait
Surprisingly, the co-ops have had few of the
problems their originators anticipated from the
local merchants with whom they compete An
oft-expressed attitude was that of a book store
managet at the University of Illinois, whose
store is near the cooperative book store there
"Sure, it will hurt my business h
conceded, "but if I can't meet the competition,
that's my problem "
The co-op phenomenon is not ubiquitous,
howevet They are unknown at Diversities m
New York City, such as Columbia and New
York University, because students there aie a

schools where the students are still a cut above

"They're out, they're out

They're breaking up. That

What's the topic ol discussion Sport
parachuting, one of the fastest growing most
dynamic sports in the United States today. And
it's happening almost every weekend in Wilson.
North Carolina.
Every weekend ihat promises good weather
the Rocky Mount Sports Parachute Club and
the Marine Sport Parachute Club do then thing
at the Old Wilson Airport. The Rocky Mount
Sports Parachute Club set up the diop one in
Wilson in 1970 It consists of the wide open
space of the landing field and a pea-gravel pit or
"peas" as it is commonly called In jumpers.
Some arrive on Friday night. They sleep in
the small clubhouse and arc up early the next
morning to wait for the plane Most oi the
jumpers come in early Saturday morning Cars
and trucks are parked along the edge ol the
drop one and open trunks reveal the gear
SMOKE SIGNALS FOR HELP
The gear is parachutes, both mam and
reserve, helmets, jumpboots, altimeters, smoke,
tension gear for packing, and static lines. The
tension gear consists of nylon ropes with a
hook on one end and an adjustable ring on the
oilier. Attached to a slake by the ring the other
end is hooked to the top or apex of the chute
Similar equipment is used on the other end to
stretch the canopy and lines taut to facilitate
packing.
The smoke is in the form of smoke grenades
There is usually one grenade attached to a
student jumper's reserve II the student is
injured upon landing, the smoke is used to
signal for help Smoke is also used by jumpers
on the ground to warn those in the aircraft ol
drastic changes in ground wind direction and
spec a
In demonstration or exhibition jumps, a
smoke grenade is sometimes attached to the
boot of the jumper The smoke created colorful
patterns in the sky as the jumper performs
manuevers in I'reefall

MAIN THING IS TO RELAX
Training lor sport parachuting can be divided
into seven parts. The student is taught all the
parts of the parachute and its container and
harness. The instruct or will teach the student
how to adjust the harness so it will be snug hul
comfortable later on, when the jumper
acquires a ng oi his own. he can adjust his
harness and lack the straps secure to keep them
from slipping.
The student is also taught to perform a
parachute landing fall (PLF). In order to
minimize the chance of breaking an ankle
PLF's are thoroughly practiced by jumping oil
a platform approximately four feet off the
ground until the procedure becomes almost
second nature The main thing is to icla.x and
not anticipate the impact The practice makes
relaxing and rolling with the impact much
easier
Basic Salety regulations and emergency
procedures are also part of the instruction. The
Student is taught how to make nee landings,
unintentional water landings, and landings in
powei lines There is also instruction on Hasu
Salety Regulations published by the United
States Parachute Association

yourself
Instruction is given in canopy control. The
student learns how to turn his canopy and what
to expect as far as the speed of the turn
After this the student, in full equipment, is
suspended from a crossbar with his feet
dangling about three feet from the ground. In
this position he is taught the correct body
position to hold after exiting the aircraft.
The proper way to exit the aircraft and how
to ack the main parachute are also part of the
novice's naming.
The student's first live jumps are static line
jumps This means that his chute is opened for
him by means of a nylon cord attached to his
parachute where the ripcord would normally
be. It is securely fastened inside the plane
When the line is taut it snaps the strings holding
the pai chute container closed Within three to
lour seconds, the parachute is fully opened.
"HOP AND POP"
On his last three static lines, the student is
required to make three successful dummy
ripcord pulls A ripcord handle is placed in the
pocket where the real thing will later be. The
student must "pull" his ripcord and return to
the correct body position before his chute is
opened.
Alter meeting the above requirements, the
jumper makes his first "hop and pop That is.
he opens his own chule immediately after
exiting the aircraft. Once he gains sufficient
confidence and control, he can gradually
increase the altitude at which he jumps, thus
increasing the delay between leaving the aircraft
and opening the chute.
Commander J J Rmaldi, president of the
Marine Sport Parachute Club, described his first
hop and pop, saying. "It's great to be off the
umbilical cord. For most jumpers, some of the
fear that accompanied that first jump will be
present when it's time to make the first jump
with manual deployment. But the real thrill of
sport parachuting is free fall. The higher a
juniper can go. the better he likes it.
For most sport parachutists the fun part of
jumping is relative work. This fun takes many
forms passing an item to another jumper in
freefall. hooking up with one or more others to
form a star, or catepillar. turning a "series" or
mass exits holding to each others' harness.
Experienced jumpers also make night jumps
and intentional water jumps.
There is also competition in this sport. Meets
are held at sport parachuting centers across the
nation The participants compete in style.
accuracy, and team realtive woik
Sport parachuting has the reputation of
being a daredevil sport There are dangers
involved just like any other sport If basic
salety regulations are followed and the jumper
is conscientious about his activities, the sport is
just as safe as any other. Most malfunctions are
caused by carelessness or bad body position
upon opening
The Rocky Mount Sports have had no
fatalities since it was formed in 1970. The
Marine Sport Parachute Club was first formed
in 1958. According to Gunnery Sargeant Don

'Re-awakening' of Easter
should be extended
li seems thai whenever we reach u
holiday period, we pause lot .1
in attic ni from whatever trouble or
unrest is occuring and step temporarily
through the barriei separating us from
. .nh other
i these tunes, we make an extra
effort to be .1 link' kinder to our
fellow 111.111. and to think .1 little
longci before we speak
Vs I astei Sunday approaches, wc
should pause again to do so once
more
It !� traditionally .1 time ol rebirth
and re-awakening Much ol uh.it we
have experienced on tins campus in
recent weeks has been m the form of
alienation and anger
We should think lor .1 moment
abdttt what Easter means, not only for
now. hn! toi the whole year through
We should unite, not .is political
factions 01 .IMiMst oik' another, hut .is
hum.in beings
Vw- have indicated also in the past
low weeks thai we can unite together
in a common cause, without violence.
It is difficult to work out situations
involving those with whom we disagree
without making enemies of one
.mother.
But it can be done It Joes require,
however, a great deal of individual
effort of every person involved.
Each oi us is different, each oi us
has different opinions and beliefs, each
of us has different ideals.
It we reflect for a moment on the
humanity of the person next to us,
then perhaps we can learn to Wicc our
differences with less harshness and
with more tolerance
I et us make t'le "re-awakening" of
faster one of realization that we are
all equal human beings, that we are all
brothers.
And let us cany this realization not
only through the holiday, hut through
every day ot our lives.

Calley trial
lo Fountainhead
When we face an issue such as the (alley trial
we seem to teveal our deep-seated feeling!
which aie often nothing but bias of one form or
another As an Asian. I have a bias oi my own
on the issue, which is somewhat different from
the feeling the American public is now
displaying First of all, my sympathy seems to
go to those women and children who were
screaming in the ditch, rather than to the
soldiers who killed them
I ask, therefore, if (alley was not overdoing
what was supposed to do, it he was not derailed
from his main mission, rather than asking it
there is any reason that justifies hun for what
he did at My Lai. Because oi this direction of
my sympathy. 1 have some difficulties in
swallowing most of the reasons the American
public, who seem to ask the last question first
find reasonable.
For example, those who gave a hero's
welcome to Calley at Ft. Benntng were
unanimously saying that Calley did what he was
ordered to do But. in fact, this was the core of
the question presented to the jury; and I
remember more testimonies that Calley was not
undet such an ordei than any other testimonies
given. Here, the crucial point to me is that the
jury was in the best position to make this
judgment, not these in street demonstrating for
Calley It is an irony that I. not the American
public, am upholding the system of jury trial on
Resident dormitory councelor charges
both students and administrators
BY JIM WATTS
iWes.den; . Tler Dorr)
s lesideni advisoi t T ler Dorm, several
students have come by to discuss with me the
events during ihe past week concerning
inter-visitation As jn advisor. I serve in the
precarious position ol representing both the
administration and the students May I express
some ot my view s
First, atiei having considered the framework
of oui student legislative and judicial system. I
agiee with the University Board in tmding both
Job I uisana and Susan Sterling nol guilty of
violation of inter-visitation policies because the
St. had declared thai visitation hours weie in
effect when Rob and Susan were cited to the
University Board Since the I niversity Board is
a part of the Student Government Association
the Boaul reached the only logical deci ion
However. I cannot find justification foi the
reason of then decision "insufficient
evidence " This reason .11 once implies thai two
hall managers, a campus police officer, and I
did noi actually see the situation The Board
also failed to call anv witnesses whose names
were on the citation sheet I would have been
more satisfied had the reason for the decision
been one that because of the extended
visitation hours approved by the SGA. there
was no violation at all. The Board's decision
implies that they still recognize the two-day
visitation regulation The Board's decision also
makes a mockery of our student government
Alter Tuesday night's demonstration, the
students acted in a more rational manner. But
the boycott of downtown Greenville businesses
still has me searching for a logical eason Why
should we bring the Greenville community into
an argument that is between the administration
and the students "Why should a third party be
forced into an unpleasant situation'11 have
heard several reasons, which sounded more like
excuses, for this action and tome proponents ol
the boycott have finally admitted that we
should not involve the Greenville business
community And then to select only certain
businesses carries this logic even further into
lett field Aren't the student leaders aware that
even the chain stores are managed and operated
foi profit by local citizens?And then while
we're shouting foi "students' rights several

students are trying to deprive other people of
their tight to shop in downtown Greenville by a
"park-in " What the students are accusing the
administration of is also what the students are
doing themselves. Il the students don't want to
shop in downtown Greenville, that's fine; but
don't deprive other people of their rights
Rob Luisana and others have accused Dr.
Jenkins of lying. Again, the students are guilty
ot the same. While the student leaders of
inter-visitation were trying to convince the
administration of sufficient supervision of
inter-visitation in the dormitories, they were
tailing to abide by their agreement to inform
the resident advisors of who would supervise
inter-visitation each weekend Rob Luisana. as
governor of Tylei Dunn, was tesponsible for
preparing supervision in Tyler Dorm. But he did
this only two or three times during the
academic year Aren't both sides lying, then'1
I keep hearing the call for students to have
"autonomous control of student affairs but
each Fast Carolina student should remember
this regardless of whether the decisions of
Jenkins and the Board of Trustees are right or
wrong, the people of the state of North
Carolina have vested in them the right to direct,
supetvise. manage, and control this University,
and the word university is to include students,
and that nowhere in the statutes of North
Carolina is there teference that students should
be included in this management Until we can
persuade the North Carolina General Assembly
to change these statutes. Dr. Jnkins and the
Board of Trustees have the "autonomous
control of student affairs
This letter is absolutely not intended in
support of either the students or the
administration Instead. I am appealing to both
sides, as I am a member of both factions, to at
once come together to settle our differences, to
unite this University so that once again we can
get on the road of piogressive education, and to
approach this dispute with an open mind and a
complete regard for the rights of everyone. Our
cause is right, but we need to examine our
approach.
The Forum
this particular issue.
Anothei argument for Calley is that the
whole atmy 01 the whole country should share
the responsibility lot the unfortunate event at
My Lai This sounds like a form of anti-wat
argument But 1 wonder if it really is when
most oi the outspoken spokesmen of this
argument ate such well-known southern
governors, many Legionnaires, and southern
state legislators, who are more hawkish than
dovish. If not anything else. If the public is
accusing the whole army or the whole country
for the wrongdoing, according to my leasoning,
it must demand more trials of that kind.iathet
than to make a hero out of Calley. The fact
that the American army is lighting a war that is
very unpopular does not mean that all conducts
of Us soldiers should be condoned Suppose a
soldier kills all the South Vietnamese he
encounters for the reason that they may turn
out to be his deadly enemy Should he be
condoned on the same ground'lt is not easy,
of course, to draw a clear line between war
activities and criminal behavioi in a situation
like Vietnam, particularly at a village like My
Lai. but this was why the jurors, who shared
some of Calley's war experiences, took such a
long time to deliberate their verdicts If the
public thinks that Calley should not be tried, it
should have come out against the trial when it
started The fact that the public was silent then
and is so indignant now seems to suggest
again this perhaps is due to my own ideas on
the issue that the public was expecting
another mock trial out of My Lai.
We all know, ot knew from the beginning,
that whatever sentence the military court metes
out to Calley would not keep him in jail long,
with oi without President Nixon's personal
intervention. As a man who upholds humanism
above nationalism. I believe that all human
lives, whethet they are Vie: jinese or
Americans, have equal values and should be
treated as supreme values. America sacrificed so
many of her finest young men and spent many
billions oi dollars in order to keep the South
Vietnamese as her allies 1 have some difficulties
in understanding therefore, how America can
defend both the principle tot which those
young men died and the conduct of a man like
Calley at the same time I am inclined to think
that Calley is that last man that America, with
her commitment to those high humanistic
principles we all cherish, should defend.
Ptesident Nixon's actions on the case, I am
afraid, have antagonized many millions of silent
but thinking Vietnamese and othe- Asians
whose friendship often costs this co ntry so
many precious lives and so much money.

Inform parents
To Foun ilnhead
In the past couple of weeks there has evolved
on this campus a sense of unity among the
students The students do not have to wear
armbands to show their support nor do they
have to participate in the rallies, but they need
merely to take to their parents and show them
the right side of the visitation story.
Tell them that the newspapers have
fabricated the incidents at this school. Tell
them that there were very few rocks thrown
Tell them that no windows were broken But
tell them that Dt Leo Jenkins will not talk to
the students, nor will he undeistand our
position at "his" university
Tell your parents to write Jenkins and to tell
him their views concerning visitation Tell your
parents to write the N C. Legislature. If you the
students do this then the Board of Trustees
might try to understand our position.
We. the students, have undertaken a giant
step forward to show the public that in a place
ol intellectual students, such as ourselves, there
will be questions that the administration will
have to answer The boycott will work only as
long as you. the students, support it The
boycott must show Jenkins that we will not sit
back and go to him. but must wait until he
decides that we are students of VOTING AGL
and not the students of yesteryear.

Wrong opinion
To Fountainhead:
The women students oi ECU are concerned
For too long it has been said that the coeds on
this campus don't care, that they are content
with the status quo, that they are not seeking
change I. for one. would like to tell all ol you
who believe this, that you are wrong
I recently initiated a petition which
tequested visitation Friday. Satutday. and
Sunday nights The existing rule stated that we
could have visitation two out of the three
nights of the weekend, but not all three
The petition requested the right to have our
doors closed during visitation, a right which we
felt we. as matu.e adults, deserved
It also requested reconsideration of
coeducational dorms. Finally it stated that we
supported the MRC On thousand, one hundred
and tilteen coeds signed this petition Main
students favored more liberal policies than had
been proposed I feel there should have been
more support if it had been possible to reach al!
the women dorm residents On Monday. March
2K, I ptesented the petition to Dean of Women,
Carolyn Fulghum. She stated that she was not
against any of it personalty. However, she
would have to treat it as any other petition, and
check the names, and then have it sent to the
Boatd of Trustees. She said that she felt coed
dorms would be a reality in 972. s for
three-night visitation, she stated that she
believed the majority of women students were
content with visitation the way it was presently
established According to Fulghum. the Boatd
ot Trustees had already rejected the idea of
closed doors and she didn't think they would
change their stand
After leaving het oiiwe I was disheartened
It seemed that all the time and effort put into
this petition was of little avail She said she
would contact me in i elation to the
developments concerning the petition, but as
yet I have had no wotd from her. However, as
you may know the Board ot Trustees has given
us word about visitation. The word is "no
When speaking to Fulghum in het office it
seemed she had definite pro views, but when I
tried to pinpoint these views I realized that she
had successfully said nothing in a number of
woids.

Significant
To Fountainhead
1 am writing this letter in response to one
printed in Fountainhead Thursday. April 1 It
concerned the relative apathy of the women
students on this campus in particulai the V,R(
It is true that some women ate hesitant
about supporting the MRC and SGA. o, even
trying then own efforts toward more extensive
visitation policy through the WR(
But there are some females at ECU willing to
stand up and take action, including my sell
Susan Sterling, and Cindy Maultsby. As an SGA
legislator from Umstead Dorm, I felt m
visitation in Tyler dorm on the night ol March
29 was not only legal and moral, but also a way
of showing my support foi the SGA and MRC
I consider my actions as those ol a legislatoi
with the ideal of making my representation a
reality, not the fa.ee of "too much talk and no,
enough action "
As a result. I have been restricted from
inter-dormitory visitation for the rest ol the
quarter, with the threat of suspension it lakc
any further action However, this does not
prevent me from giving anv lupporl tequested
to those leading the cunent boycotl short ol
illegal 01 violent action
Perhaps my Involvemeni is small but I
consider any such action significant in the
respect that � shows I care iboui both this
university ,�d its students �j ,0 '
