Thonen sues Jenkins
Robert Thonen, editor of Fountainhead,
announced Thursday that he was suing ECU
President Leo Jenkins for $25,000 for general
and punitive damages.
Thonen said that the suit stems from charges
brought against him by SGA Attorney General
Henry Gorham for alleged obscenity, a
violation of the campus code.
Thonen was charged as a result of the
complimentary closing of a letter to the editot
appearing in the April 1 issue of Fountainhead.
The closing contained an alleged obscenity
directed toward Jenkins in the wake of a recent
disturbance on campus.
Dean of Student Affairs James Tucker. Dean
of Men James Mallory and Gorham are
co-defendants with Jenkins because of then
connection with the charges against Thonen
Thonen said that the charges against him
were a violation of his First Amendment rights
guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution
The complaint against Jenkins, Tucker.
Mallory and Gorham read, 'This is an action
seeking permanent and preliminary injunctive
relief to prevent further deprivation under color
of State law . . . privileges and immunities
secured by the Constitution . . .
"This is a proceeding for injunctive relief
against disciplinary proceedings against
(Thonen)
"On one occasion said Thonen, "Dr.
Tucker complained to the Publication's Board
about my editoral policies concerning
obscenity
The board refused to take any action that
would result in censorship, said Thonen.
In an affidavit. Stephen Ncal, chairman of
the Publication's Board, said that he read the
letter to the editor which contamed the alleged
obscenity. "It was obvious to me that this was
not (legally) obscene the affidavit read.
According to Jerry Paul. Thonen's attorney,
obscenity in the press is " whether or not the
publication as a whole is directed solely to the
prurient interest and whether or not it is utterly
without socially redeeming value
Neal said, "I consider the charges brought
against Thonen to be in bad faith for two
reasons. The first is that the letter was not
legally obscene, and second that the
Publication's Board, not the University Board
where Thonen is to be tried, has original and
final jurisdiction concerning the actions taken
by an editor of a student sponsored
publication.
"The disciplinary proceedings against Bob
Thonen serves to discourage people from
writing letters and more than that said Neal.
"it causes many students to hesitate to criticize
Dr. Jenkins, for fear that he will have
disciplinaryproceedings brought against them "
Thonen contends that he is not suing for
personal gain. If he wins the case. Thonen plans
to contribute the money he is awarded , after
expenses, to Joyner Library under the
stipulation that it be used to purchase
undregraduate research books
Candidates speak out
By BECKY NOBLE
(Copy Editor)
"Mayor is a position of honor but carries
very little authority asserted Mayor Frank M
Wooten Jr in a campaign speech tor reelection
Monday night.
Other candidates for the "position of honor"
who spoke at the meeting sponsored by Pi
Sigma Alpha were lugene West, a former
mayor, Kenneth T Batnes. and IXmovan
Phillips, Greenville's first Negro candidate for
mayor.
Voting day is Tuesday, May 4, from 6 30
a.m. until 6:30 p.m.
Defining the purpose o! the mayoislup,
Wooten explained the structure of Greenville's
government "It's a city manager or council
form of government The mayor has DO othei
duties than serving as a membei of the council
"He votes in a tie of City Council, presides
on 'filial functions, is head of the city,
appoints the housing authority, and the
advisory committee of the Redevelopment
Commission. He has very little authority if any.
The city is actually operated by the city
manager
Wooten also explained his proceeding
against the city in which he wants to have the
citizens vote on the Central Business District
Redevelopment Project A sum of $1.6 million
will be spent on the central business district
"It means funds will not be available for
other sections objected Wooten "It will mean
a 1.6 per cent times your present tax if
approved
Still stressing finances, Wooten listed
Greenville's needs. "Recreation needs
expanding he said, forseeing no problem
getting money fiom the City Council. "There's
no better place to spend it he added, "than
on the parks and other phases of recreation
such as the arts
In addition to recreation, money needs to be
spent foi a public transportation system,
tinued Wooten.
The mayor also said that the School Board
should be half appointed by the City Council
and half elected, whereas it is now appointed
by the City Council.
Greenville also needs more building
inspectors, according to Wooten. "They should
be required to inspect every building in town. If
that is done we have no need for a
Redevelopment Commission
Concerning environmental needs, he said any
action "has to be a statewide policy
In conclusion, Wooten stressed that one of
,he most important aspects of city government
was having an "open door policy" so that
t,ens will have facts available and will take an
interest in the government
West, in response to Wooten's comments
about the mayorshtp, said, "I question the fact
that the mayor is a figurehead. He can be if he
wants to, but he should not be
He stressed the fact that the mayor should
keep abreast of what is going on in the city in
order to keep the councilmen informed, should
listen to complaints and should talk to the city
manager.
West gave a history of his role in Greenville
government, emphasizing his concern for
progress.
Urban renewal and public housing was
instigated by his administration when he was a
former mayor. He has served five terms as
mayor, and has been defeated twice since 1953.
"More of our change for the betterment
originates with the young people he said,
citing the change from the alderman form of
government to the city council form of
government.
Complimenting the present administration,
he said, "I think the city of Greenville is in the
best shape, finer than it has ever been . With
other cities of comparable size . . . we're at the
top of the list
He said industries were open to citizens and
other young people who want to live in
Greenville. He remarked that a new industry
had already bought the land in Greenville, but
was delayed in coming because of economical
recession. This new industry, which West did
not identify, should arrive next fall or spring
and would make available 400 jobs.
In conclusion, West said that Greenville
needs a "progressive and impartial government
with adequate future planning
Kenneth T. Barnes, youngest candidate in
this year's race for mayor and manager of the
American National Insurance Company, gave a
brief speech.
Condemning Greenville's at-large voting
system, he said that those elected didn't have to
account to anyone.
In Greenville, he said, representation of the
affluent is prevalent, not of the poor. Also this
voting system allows the men with the largest
publicity to win and also breeds apathy.
"I want to change this he concluded.
"The City Council isn't representative of the
city of Greenville stated Donovan Phillips,
who ittributed the lack of representation to
"pressure from affluence and influence
His solution to the problem is election from
wards or precincts.
Phillips, a young funeral director, also
attacked the School Board. "Our School Board
is totally unresponsive. You can't find them,
get them to an emergency meeting It is a
self-perpetuating board
He continued, "Greenville is run from Biggs
Drug Store corner and that I don't like. It
should be run from the city government
offices
For his qualifications for mayor, Phillips,
who has held no prior government positions,
said he qualifies because he is a citizen who
cares about Greenville; wants to change the
structure, and is "concerned about peoples'
problems
Concerning his plans for Greenville. Phillips
said the city needs a doctor's council on drugs
ind drug education.
Phillips also said the city needs swimming
pools. There used to be a swimming pool here.
he said, "but a black man jumped tn and the)
drained it and made a parking lot out of it He
added that the Tar River needed supervision.
Concerning housing and redevelopment,
Phillips praised the progress that had been made
recently However, he said stronger ordinances
governing building codes were needed "I can
take you to houses right now where this code is
not enforced
"Public transportation is a must he said
"You can't compare Greenville to other towns
because we have a university of 10.000
students
Phillips approved of more industry in
Greenville. "A busing system in the city would
provide another reason for industry to come in
here
Another need he cited is one felt by the poor
people of Greenville. "Poor people need
someone to speak for them in city government
because they aren't vocal he said
In addition, he thinks the social services need
coordination. Philliphs concluded that, it
elected, he would propose the following to the
City Council: a human relations specialist to
coordinate all areas of human relations; an
information bureau to inform the population of
government business, written in layman's terms.
the establishment of a narcotics board to be
incorporated into the new city hospital.
In a question and answer period which
followed the speeches, the candidates were
asked if they favored voting members from
ECU on the City Council
Phillips was the jnly candidate who favored
the idea.
Barnes favored only a student advisor, adding
that the student would waste his time listening
to ordinances. When told that the present
advisory position had failed, he commented,
"I'd still be opposed to it
Wooten said, "Even though you are a major
segment of our community you are not our
community
West said he didn't think the legislature
would allow it.
In answer to another question. West listed
these salaries: councilmen, $1,800; mayor,
$3,000; and city manager, $18,500

Board finds SchelI guilty
of abusive language
Bill Schell was found guilts ol abusive
language Monday. April 26. by the ECl
University Board
Schell was charged with obscene and abusive
language in violation of the campus code.
The charge resulted from a letter written by
Schell addressing ECU President Leo Jenkins in
an uncomplimentary manner The letter was
printed in the Aptil I issue of I ountainhead
Ken Hammond. Schell's attorney, stated
after the trial that he and SclieH's co-attorney,
Rick Atkinson, are appealing the case because
of what Hammond termed "a mockers ol
justice" and "hlatent double standards" ol the
SGA Attorney General Henry Gorham
During the course ot the trial. Atkinson and
Hammond attempted to introduce evidence in
the form ol Supreme Court rulings which
defined obscenity Their ictfon was interrupted
by Gorham and the question seni the
University Board Into i closed executive
session
Charles Price, chairman ol the I diversity
Board, announced that the) had voted not to
heai the Supreme Court definitions
Price explained that the Board was capable
of deciding what obscenit) was without the
rulings
The detense interjected that in a previous
trial where 2 students were tried foi a
disturbance near the trout ol the Jenkins home.
Gorham used North Carolina statutes
concerning disruptjnee lot Ictinition s sake
Dean ol Student Allans James Tucker,
instigator of the chatges. stated tmdei oath that
he read the letter written by Schell
When asked what his definition ot obscenity
uax he stated. ��Anything which is obscene,
abusive, vulgar, lewd
Atkinson asked Price what the definition ol
obscenity was as defined by the Board in its
executive session Price responded that
deliberations in a closed session were privileged
information and that he would not divulge then
definition.
Atkinson, in his summation, brought out
that the criteria for obscenity comes in three
parts One is that it must appeal to theprurient
interest of the reader and that it must be
utterly without socially redeeming value
He also stated that the complaint read that
the letter was objectionable to the president ol
ECL. but that Jenkins neither signed the
complaint, affidavit, nor appeared in person.
Gorham cited federal court cases which
upheld the universities right to suspend
students for "obscene and abusive" language
when such language is used on university
property
Schell was found guilty of abusive language
and was given a suspended suspension. A
student with suspended suspension may not
appear before any I'niversity judicial bod)
without being automatically suspended.
Hammond told Fountainhead thai Sdiell's
verdict will be appealed because ol prejudicial
error, excessively severe sentence, and new
evidence which would affect the outcome of
the trial.
Hammond elaborated on the excessively
severe sentence by citing a similar case where
the defendent received only a verbal reprimand
Schell's right to a fair hearing was also
violated, said Hammond, because the Boaid
would not allow rulings by the Supreme Court
in related cases, and because the public
defender could not guaiantee the constitutional
rights ol the delendent
Hammond said this would include the United
States Constitution as well as the SGA
Constitution.

WASHINGTON (AIM Senate Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield forecasts serious Senate
opposition to a two-year extension of the draft
in a debate likely to involve the use of draftees
in the Vietnam wai
DRAFT EXTENSION BILL
The Senate Armed Services Committee is
expected to complete action this week on a bill
extending the draft and eliminating future
deferments for college students.
Its version would permit current
undergraduates to keep their deferments until
their four years oi college aie completed.
The House already has approved extending
the draft for two years past its June 30
expiration date. Senate debate is due in about
two weeks
Mansfield said the legislation has faced a
comparatively easy path so far but "this tune I
think it will encounter serious opposition
He said the effort against the bill will center
first on an attempt to end the Selective Service
System altogether and then more seriously on
an effort to limit extension to one year.
In addition Mansfield said the issue of
drafting men for service in South Vietnam
appears cettain to become part of the debate.
"At least one half and probably more of the
casualties have been draftees Mansfield said.
Such a development could embroil the draft
issue in the larger Senate controversy over the
war itself. Action is due later on legislation to
forbid U.S. spending for the conflict after the
end o( this year.
Mansfield said he intends to vote against any
extension. "I have never voted for a draft bill
and I don't intend to vote for this one he
said.
VOLUNTEER ARMY
Sen. Mark O. Hatfield. R-Ore also is
working for an end to the draft and the
substitution of an all volunteer armed force.
"I cannot stress too strongly the profound
weakening of our social fiber the undermining
of the individual's faith in his government and
his hope for the future the military draft
inculcates Hatfield said.

Recital slated
By DR LEO JENKINS
(ECU President)
Foreign students at ECU are a very welcome
addition to our campus. They are usually
among our best students academically, and they
bring to us the rich heritage oi their native
cultures and a certain measure oi the
international, cosmopolitan atmosphere which
is vital to a university
TWENTY FOREIGN COUNTRIES
This year at RCl we have students from
twenty foreign countries, including Germany.
Great Britain, the Netherlands. East Africa,
Yugoslavia. Argentina. Uruguay. Canada.
Iceland. Puerto Rico, the British Caribbean
Federation, the French West Indies. Panama,
the Philippines. India. China. Korea. Japan. Iran
and Jordan
Foreign students coming to ECU are at least
one thousand miles from home, and most have
come from halfway around the world. The
majority of them are now in a society with
language, manners and customs very far
removed from those of their native lands.
HIGH EDUCATIONAL STANDING
In nearly all cases, the educational standing
of these students is in the top three per cent of
their respective nations, and most are members
of wealthy and influential families at home.
There is no doubt that every ECU foreign
student has been exposed to an immense
amount of propaganda about America, both
pro and con. In most cases, a foreign student's
term of study at ECU is his first actual
experience with the American people and the
American way of life.
The ECU League of University Scholars has
MUN in New York
SGA's Office ol External Affairs will end its
year oi Model United Nations (MUN) activities
this weekend in New York.
ECU will represent Serria Leone in the
Security Council at this year's National MUN
The ECC delegates include Geoffrj Knowles,
outgoing Secretary oi External Affairs; Ken
Hammond, incoming Secretary of External
Affairs. Barry Jones, and Randy Honnett. SGA
treasurer They will leave on Wednesday and
return on Sunday
The ECU team, in spite of its involvement in
recent campus activities, have done a lot of
research and are ready for competition,
according to Knowles.
Last year ECU's team of seven delegates
received a "cold response by the chair in the
General Assembly and was not allowed to speak
once said Knowles "However, we are going
back to be heard and we will be heard
proposed an excellent plan which, when
effected, will provide guidance, help and
friendship to our foreign students during their
initially trying first weeks and months.
There are three main elements in their
proposed Foreign Students Program: a Big
Brother or Sister for the foreign student
selected from the League students, a Host
Family in the Greenville area, and a Secondary-
Student.
The Big Brother or Big Sister will be of the
same sex as the foreign student, and the
Secondary Student, a student of the opposite
sex.
AID COMMUNICATION
Therefore, the Big Sister or Brother would
probably share a good understanding and easy
communication with the foreign student, and
the Secondary Student would serve in a social
capacity and help to ease the initial shyness of
the foreign student. Through the Secondary
Student, the foreign student can meet other
young people on campus and attend social
functions.
The Host Family's role in the Foreign
Students Program is an important one. By
frequently inviting the foreign student into
their home, the Host Family will give him
first-hand acquaintance with American family
life and attempt to replace to some degree the
home which is so far distant from Greenville
HOME AWAY FROM HOME'
During vacations and on holidays, when most
ECU students return to their homes. Host
Families would have their foreign students as
houseguests. In many ways, the Host Family
would provide a "home away from home" for
the foreign student.
At present, the League is eager to hear from
families in the Greenville area who would be
willing to serve as Host Families for the
progiam. Interested families should visit or
telephone Dr. John D. Ebbs, professor of
English, for further information about the
Foreign Students Program.
We look forward to the implementation of
this program proposed by the League of
University Scholars, and we are certain that it
will do a great deal toward making ECU's
foreign students feel comfortable on our
campus.

Columbia, hoping to test its constitutionality at
the local level, as a model foi stale crime laws.
SERIES OF RAIDS
This week the first official no-knock search
warrant was used in D.C. in a series of raids on
a city-wide gambling ring. Information on the
ring was obtained through a twelve-day court
authorized wiretap, also the first of its kind
under the new crime law.
The raid was heralded as a success, and
reporters were alerted to the police actions even
before they occurred in the early morning.
The various provisions of the crime bill,
I
p and the
detention without bail of "dangerous" persons
by local authorities, serve to legally sanction
certain police actions currently
unconstitutional, but which are covertly
common behavior on most metropolitan police
forces
The new battering ram already has been
used, without court sanction or a no-knock
warrant, on several occasions this year in D.C.
mostly in connection with alleged marijuana or
narcotics cases.
INTRUDING AGENT SHOT
Last week, police barged through a door,
without the ram, into an apartment of a
Southeast neighborhood heroin dealer, and an
undercover agent was shot and killed in the
battle that followed Nearly 1500 D.C. police
marched in formation to the agent's funeral
And listened while the D.C. police chaplain
blamed police deaths on the coddiing of
criminals by liberal news media.

"The moment a guy steps into bed with a
girl, he forfeits the right to marry a virgin
comments a Garrett dorm coed about the
sexual double standard.
"Virginity should have gone out with bobby
socks reflects one liberal male. "A hymen
should be disposed of like an appendix or
tonsils
DISCUSSION GROUP
Comments like these are common in girl and
guy bull sessions in the dorms But at Garrett
they are familar to a mixture of interested
students who participated in an open discussion
group last Tuesday.
The discussion group on human sexuality is
not just to find out about sexual organs, the
sexual act or abortion, reflects Miss Inez
Fridley, a Garrett counselor.
"We must understand emotional feelings as
well as physical make up
This understanding between the sexes can
only be met by destroying the sexual myths
that circulate the dorms.
One popular myth discussed at the meeting is
that every guy is out to find a bedmate. Many
of the guys attending admitted the difficulty of
telling the'other guys at the dorm that they had
taken a girl out for just a beer.
"It's easier to say that you've scored with the
girl you just dated comments one male.
Most of the males expressed interest in
establishing a sexual relationship
"If women would stop acting like virginity is
such a sacred thing the bull sessions in the
dorms would probably be less important
reflects one male.
VARIED OPINIONS
The question of importance of virginity for
the female initiated varied opinions.
For instance, one girl expressed virginity
before marriage as deeply important to her
while another girl described virginity as an
obsolete word with bad connotations.
Another summed up the feelings of the girls
"Premarital sex is an individual prerogative No
one goes around the dorm marking who has
been to bed with a guy. For each girl sexual
relationships have different values
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN SEXES
The main emphasis of the discussion is to
gain an understanding between the sexes
However, several resource people are scheduled
for each Tuesday meeting.
The discussion group stems from the
February family life conference on human
sexuality, comments Miss Fridley Student
i h'eu-h" " Brea' Ihat Fr,dle and the Rev
John Miller, a campus champla.n, decided to
�nsu.ute a discussion group ,n the dorm.
I he first couple meetings contained only a
handful of girls ,n the dorm, says Miss Fridlev.
Last Tuesday there were over 25 males and
ernilei ranging from single to married, young
to old, and radical to conservative.

Donovan Phillips. Jr the first black man to
run for mayor of Greenville, said he is not
lunning as a civil rights candidate, but as a
people's candidate.
'� care about all segments of the Greenville
population he said "Blacks and whites are
more similar than different. They have the same
problems and the same emotional conflicts.
They do not have to function as separate
communities and in individual groups
With an afro style hair cut. gold-rimmed
glasses and a modern-cut blue suit and boots.
'Phillips seems to represent the younger culture.
"There is a trend for young people to get
into politics now because we have the
legitimate gripes; we have to handle this mess
he said.
A LOT HEAVIER'
The tall, slim young man with a sort of
restless energy said that he has not worked in
government before but has been active in civil
rights since 1961. He has participated in several
conventions where, he said, "it is a lot heavier
"It is a lot more intricate, persuading people
in civil rights work he explained "But you
could not call it government
He called himself a Greenville native as he
laughingly stated. "I was born in Kinston.but I
came here when I was three weeks old. so I
guess I'm a Greenville native
He went to Morehouse College when he was
16 years old and later transferred to North
Carolina College, where he maiored in business
After three years of college, he returned to
Greenville where he spent two and a half years
working as director of Pitt County
Neighborhood Youth Corps.
Now a graduate of embalming school, he is
director oi Phillips Funeral Home in Greenville
and has a wife and three daughters.
In the future, he said, he may go back to
college, perhaps at ECU, and major in social
psychology.

Barnes feels that there is a definite trend for
youth to start in politics, and explained his
reason for running.
"The majority oi people in this so-called
complex society are getting the shaft from the
older generation, who were brought up to be
bigots. The younger generation is developing a
love for life and is setting aside race issues.
Gowan compiles writings
By FRANCEINE PERRY
(ECU Ntwl Burtlul
As anyone who is even slightly aware of
current world politics must admit, the subject
of Asia's international relations is becoming
increasingly important
Dr Robert J Gowen. a member of the ECU
history faculty has made Asia his major
research interest.
At present, he is compiling a large catalogue
of all known writings on the international
relations and diplomatic history of Asia, as a
service to historians doing research in Asian
hislory.
He is quite convinced of the essential
"relevance" of the subject.
"In these days of Vietnams and Cambodias.
we need to know all we can about how Asia got
where it is and where it is likely to go he
commented recently.
"I hope that my pioject. when it is finished.
will facilitate future research in this immensely
significant area
LIBRARY RESEARCH
Supported by a grant of S7.296 from the
National Endowment for the Humanities and
the ECU Reseaich Council. Gowen's project is
to be a definitive bibliography of historical
material about the international relations of
East Asia. Inner Asia. Southeast Asia and the
Pacific Islands
For the purposes of the bibliography, he has
defined 'international relations" rather
broadly, to include such areas as missionary
movements, colonialism, countei-insurgeney
and Oriental immigration and emigration
All books, articles, dissertations and
pamphlets on these topics written in the major
European languages will be cited in the Gowen
bibliography
And when it " finished auuind April. 1972.
it will include nearly 18.000 entries.
Among the provisions oi the grant are funds
in allow Gowen to spend a good deal of time in
libraries, where most of the work of compiling
must be done.
"I shall spend about seven weeks in the
Library ot Congress he said "That is the best
place to lesearch material in foreign languages
LENGTHY TITLE
Gowen is a fluent reader of French. German.
Dutch, Spanish. Portuguese. Italian and
Russian.
The grant also pays the salaries ot research
assistants and covers the expenses of typing the
completed manuscript
Although Gowen strongly dislikes lengthy
book titles, he ruefully admits that his
bibliography's formal title will probably be
"War and Peace in Mudern Asia a Bibliography
of Western Literature on the International
Relations of East Asia. Southeast Asia, and the
Pacific Region Since 1780
Negotiations for publication by the
Princeton University Press are already
underway.
Gowen is the author of a number oi
scholarly articles which have been included in
such publications as "Journal of Modern
History "Pacific Historical Review
"International Studies and "Canadian
Historical Review
TAPED INTERVIEWS
He is also the author of another, quite
difterent. volume on the subject of Asia, which
is soon to appear in paperback.
Entitled "Unproudly We Hail it is based on
detailed interviews with returned veterans oi
the Vietnam war. most of whom are now ECU
students
"Unoroudlv We Hail" is not intended to be
either pro-war or anti-war says Gowen
"It merely attempts to relate to the general
public, particularly the parents of soldiers, what
Vietnam was like for the enlisted men. No
officers were interviewed "
About 100 hours of taped interviews are the
basis of "Unproudly We Hail and nearly all
the services and units stationed in Vietnam are
represented.
�POPULAR CONSUMPTION'
Wliile this book is designed for "popular
consumption it. like highly documented
scholarly treatises, is valid historical material.
Eyewitness accounts oi the controversial
Vietnam war. as recalled by its young veterans,
are a vivid and insightful bridge to the growing
credibility gap between most Americans and �
the US. involvement in Southeast Asia.
Gowen is an alumnus of the University of
Alberta. Canada, where he has since been a
visiting lecturer. He earned advanced degrees
from the Universities oi Hawaii and Chicago.
Prior to his appointment to the ECU facultv
in 1968. he taught at the Universitv ot Toledo.
DR. ROBERT J. GOWAN is planning
to publish a compilation of a
available materials on the international
relations of Asia.

Speaking of ECU siudents and downtown

they've given it to the majority oi the people
There is no system at piesent

developer, has served five terms as mayor of
Greenville, and has been defeated twice since
1953.
A native of Statesville. West came to
Greenville in his youth on a construction job,
married a "local belle stayed two years and
then left.
He returned more than 20 years ago and
plans to remain the rest of his life here.
When asked about the present situation
between students and downtown. West
commented, "The city is fortunate, merchants
have been cooperative in supplementing
programs for the improvement ol the
University
Concerning the boycott. West stated. "It was
unfair to merchants because it was using them
to force someone else to do something that
they have no control over You're using your

EDITOR'S NOTE The following interview was
conducted with Donovan Phillips. Mack candid e for
mayor fo the city of Greenville, on Friday. April 23
By KENNETH SMITH
and
LINDA M. AHLLEORY
(Special to Fountamhead)
Donovan Phillips is a native ol Greenville
jiea. where he lias jpeni most of his lite He
was educated in the Greenville public schools
which he left in the llth grade on an early
mission scholarship to attend Morhoute College
in Atlanta. Georgia He transferred to North
Carolina Central University in Durham. North
Carolina, aftei tuo years .and there he became
deeply, involved in the civil rights movement,
particularly the sit-ins ol 1961, During his
tenure with ilie sit-ins, he also became
associated with the NAACP and was a youth
held secretary with thai organization. In that
capacity, he traveled the country . lecturing on
college campuses and wherever else he found a
platform.
Phillips has known and worked with mniy
prominent civil nuhts leaders as a icsult ol his
involvement with the movement He was taught
English by the late Di Martin L.King. One oi
Ins classmates was Julian Bond, current
representative to the Georgia state legislature
He became sci well aquamted with Leroy
v iIk.ms. directoi of the NAACP, rhurgood
Marshall, currem Associate Justice oi the
United State- Supreme Court, and Dr
Benjamin I Mays. President I meritus oi
Morehouse College, and director of the Boaul
ol Education in Atlanta While in Durban he
worked closely with Floyd B McKissick, then
directoi oi CORE, and currently the prime
force behind Soul City, Warrenton. N.C. While
studying in New York, he and a cousin were
heavily involved in the court struggle to
promote the teaching oi black culture in the
nation's school systems He has been both a
deputy directoi and directoi of the Pitt County
Neighborhood Corps Upon the death of his
father, he became director oi Phillips Brothers
Mortuary in Greenville a position he now holds
Q. As the first black candidate for mayor of
the city of Greenville, what do you feel Is
Greenville's biggest problem?
A. The biggest problem is the factions
dividing this city You have the University
against the city proper, black against white, rich
against poor and have against have not.
Relative dialog needs to be established between
the factions and it needs to be coordinated b
the city government Should I be elected. I will
move immediately for the establishment of a
human relations office headed by a specialist
with a staff None of our present city officials.
elected or otherwise, are qualified in the human
relations field, and we need someone who is
capable of bridging the gap between these
factions.
Q. Aside from the appointment of a human
relations specialist, what other
recommerdations would you as mayor have for
increasing communications within this
community?
A I would ask the police chief to select a
police officer and have him trained in the field
oi human relations, and insure that he is
competent in his field His majoi function
besides being a police officer would be to
handle public relations for and between the
police department and the citiens of
Greenville
Policemen must understand people as well as
people understanding policemen. I would also
insist that the criteria be raised for the selection
of police This would include primarily a battery
ol psychological tests which would at least in
some way insure that a police officer is a
relatively stable person. The police are probably
the only officials in the city of Greenville who
are going to meet somebody at some time or
another and in all probability under pressure.
Policemen are the ones who reflect the image oi
the city ol Greenville more than anyone else.
Q. You have indicated by your suggestions
that you feel there are inadequacies in the
Greenville police department. How does this
relate specifically to the black community ?
Out of a police force of approximately 58
persons, you have only four full tune black
officers. This speaks for itself. Sergeant
Corbett. for example, a highly qualified officer
who happens to be black, has been on the force
for about 30 years I can't understand why he
isn't a lieutenant With no more police officers
who are black, how can the police force relate
to the black community? The answer is that it
can't rhere must be some understanding of the
way black people live in order for an officer to
work efficiently in the black community. He
must learn to use teiminology like "black"
instead ol "colored" and "mister not "boy
Police officers are going to have to stop being
pushy. We are not cattle; we do not want to be
herded. Ihe harassment given out, not only to
the black community, but to college students as
well, must be stopped.
Q. Do you feel there are differences between
law enforcement in the black community and
the rest of the community?
A. Let's put it this way: law enforcement in
this city is kind of weird. For instance, if a
black were to kill a white tomorrow, he'd go to
trial and probably get either life imprisonment
01 death Blacks kill blacks in the black
community and are let out after three months
to kill another black.
Q. Where do you place the responsibility of
this problem?
A It's our North Carolina courts. For about
two eais now. I think the courts have been
handing out red badges of courage to criminals
who kill black people. They keep urning
criminals back into our community. We don't
like criminals any better than anyone else. If a
man has killed three men over a 20-year period,
and he walks up to you and promises to kill
sou. I don't think you're going to let hun get
away with il He hasn't broken his promise yet
and there's no reason to think he will now. It's
not because ou're a criminal that you defend
yourtelf-it's because you're scared
Q. What is being done by law enforcement
agencies to combat the hard drug traffic in the
black area of the city?
A Something is being done However, the
members of the black community who are
dealing in hard drugs are quite expert, most of
them having spent time in Baltimore. Chicago.
New York and other large cities. Their expertise
is above the heads of the inadequate Greenville
police force Furthermore, there does not seem
to be much meaningful cooperation between
the Greenville police department, the State
Bureau oi Investigation and the county sheriff.
There is going to have to be a coordinated
effort between state, county and local law
enforcement agencies for the drug traffic in the
Greenville area to be brought under control.
Q. You've mentioned what law enforcement
needs to do. What do you think the community
itself can do to bring the drug problem under
control?
� 1 propose a council of doctors who are up
to date and familiar with drugs themselves. This
would be an educational program to tell people
what the drugs are, what they do to people,
how to recognize symptons in your child, and
what can be done about it. I'd like people to
know that this is a disease rather than a
criminal thing.
I ould further propose to all members of
the City Council, and all Greenville officials,
elected or otherwise, that they support a
resolution to be sent to the County
Commissioners and to the Board of Trustees of
Pitt Memorial Hospital, that they incorporate
into the new hospital a narcotics ward where a
person addicted to drugs could go without fear
of prosecution, and receive help. I feel that this
is the only way that these people who need to
be helped can be helped.
Q.How do you feel about those who deal in
hard drugs?
A I have no sympathy for a person who
deals in hard drugs. It destroys people
physically and mentally. Parents might say that
this doesn't affect my kid. I say If he can sell it
to one kid. he can sell it to any kid.
Q.You don't think, then, that this is jjst a
problem in the black community?
A. No. no, no. not at all. It doesn't matter if
you're white, blue, black, green, polka dotted
or rally striped. It runs from Brook Valley to
Railroad Street. It happens.
Q. Another matter concerning the young
people of this city is the admitted lack of
public recreational facilities. What are your
feelings on this sublet?
A. Let's talk anout the lack of swimming
pools in Greenville first. The Greenville
municipal swimming pool was closed in the
early 50's after a black kid jumped in it. It has
since been a city parking lot. Last year was the
first year in long time that some kid didn't
drown in the Tar River. We've built a fine new
housing project down on the Tar River and
summer's coming. Boys will be boys, and
they're going to jump into that river and swim.
Why do we have to put 300 or so teenagers and
subteens down on the river with no swimming
pool and no supervision Greenville is going to
have to get its priorities straight. It's between
economics and human values, and I consider a
human hie a little more valuable than money.
A lack of swimming pools isn't the only
problem, of course. Greenville has no planned
program of dancing or music, both of which are
the usual teenager's bag. If I'm a teenager, why
should 1 go over to Elm Street or South
Greenville when all I'm going to hear is a lot of
noise and no music?
Greenville's tennis facilities are another
example of the problem. Unfortunately, the
tennis courts are located way over on Elm
Street, where I'm sure a large portion of the
people can't even get to them without a lot of
difficulty. There are no tennis courts over in
South Greenville, and. God knows, we do like
to play tennis.
It's not just a question of youth, either. The
aged in Greenville are left to wither away in
their rocking chairs or some old folks' home.
There is no reason why they can't be
considered when these programs are being
planned. As I said earlier, it is between
economics and human values, and Greenville is
going to have to come up with some money for
these facilities.
Q. Like most cities, Greenville has a juvenile
delinquency problem. Wrvat are your
recommendations on this subject?
A. To begin with, let me emphasize that this
is not just a black problem, or a white problem,
but an overall community problem. Greenville
has one of the highest school dropout rates in
the state. Further, Greenville has one person
who handles juvenile delinquency problems in
the eity-the probation officer for the Welfare
Department, and he's tremendously
overburdened. I feel that this city needs to hire
a full time counselor with a staff who can
counsel those kids who are leaning toward
juvenile delinquency, those who have been
declared delinquent, and especially those
returning from schools of correction. This is a
tremendous problem and if we don't handle it
now, we'll end up with an even worse criminal
problem than we have at the present.
Q. Greenville has a long history of
unemployment, not just of blacks, but of the
overall community. Even though industry has
moved into Greenville, this is still the case.
What are your feelings on that?
A. This encompasses many things. First of
all. I'm a firm believer that the name of the
game is jobs so that a man might support his
family decently. Let's look at the job problem
in Greenville, and the question of why those
who really need jobs don't have them. How do
you find out where job openings are in
Greenville? You go down to the Employment
Security Commission and get the runaround.
For instance, Greenville listings are down at the
Chamber of Commerce office, a fact not
generally known. Graduates of Pitt Tech and
other schools in the area leave because of the
frustrations of getting a job here, and they have
to eat.
For instance, when I left Eppes High School.
85 per cent of the graduates left the Greenville
area and never came back. This isn't just a black
problem-much the same is true of Rose High
School. The question is, what does Greenville
offer to a kid who leaves and wants to come
back and do something productive He has to
get back into the power structure, and this is
difficult for anyone to do. It's not what you
know in Greenville, it's who you know, and this
has become a big problem. I think it's
absolutely stupid for an area to educate a whole
group of people, and then lose them. It costs a
tremendous amount of money to educate a kid,
and say, "Bye, I hope you make it If he can
make it in Greenville, he's going to help
Greenville.
One other reason young people leave the area
is because of the difficulty of dealing with the
power structure. The power structure is
immediately turned off by someone with long
hair, or someone from a minority group, no
matter how constructive their suggestions may
be. A lot of older people say that this
generation is wet behind the ears, but the truth
is that this generation is far advanced over the
generation before them. I think we're going to
have to realize the potential of our youth, and
that we're going to have to harness this
potential. Until we do this, we're going to
continue to lose a large and vital segment of our
community. Frankly, I can't seerwhy people

wonder what kind of hair a man has on top oi
his head or how much I'm interes. 'd in what's
under the riair�if he's got anything under there
that he can produce for me, I don't care what
he looks like. We look at outward appearance
and judge what a man is like, which is prejudice
all over again. Prejudice any way you put it is
dumb. �
Q. Are there other factors that contribute to
the unemployment situation in Greenville?
A. Yes. Greenville has no mass transportation
system. What industry is going to want to come
here when their employees can't get to work?
Our City Council has consistently thrown cold
water on mass transportation proposals on tin-
grounds that they would be too expensive.
They were talking about huge buses-buses to
be brought out of another city, run and
maintained by a private company. I propose as
an alternative the so-called mini-bus, which is
not much larger than a Volkswagon bus. They
would be maintained by the city at the city
garage. They are economical on fuel, carry from
I 7 to 19 people, and are small enough to travel
Greenville's narrow streets. Washington, D.C.
has demonstrated that they can be used, and
used efficiently. This would allow a lot of
families to avoid the unnecessary expense of a
second car. I'd be the first rider.
Q. You've proposed several far-reaching
programs. Greenville is a highly conservative
area, particularly where money is concerned.
Do you think you can get the funding for these
programs?
' A. To begin with, we are going to have to
make betui use of the federal funds available. I
can't see why the city is afraid of them. After
all. we arc the federal government. It's our
money, anyway, so why be afraid of this
so-called 'federal monster Look at the
farmers. They don't want federal money, but as
soon as the tobacco crop is damaged, the first
thing they do is ask for federal crop insurance.
Federal money is everywhere and it's here to
stay. It's our money to use for our benefit, and
if we're so poor and so proud that we can't ask
for our money, we deserve to sit around and
cry like a bunch of idiots because we don't have
the facilities that we need and rightfully should
have.
I also feel like any city that can jump up and
build a field house for East Carolina University
and then carpet that entire field house because
the coach asked them to. can afford to pay for
these essential programs. Greenville has a knack
for raising money�the city raised a tremendous
amount for the bond issue for the new hospital.
I feel that the city ought to be able to raise the
money to protect its kids, to start a mass
transportation system, and to fight crime.
Q. You have spoken of many difficult
problem, facing Greenville Do you think the
current system of representation in the City
Council is adequate to their solution?
like the present at-large
i (iieenville and I
own precincts
citizens of their precincts
you'll get a better cross
A. No. I don t
system. We have 9 precincts in

section of the
,� env.lle and have a better
chance of having then, acted upon With our
present system, three ol ou. city counc.ln.ei.
live next door to each othei Pus is the problem
Q Do you think that under the at large
system it is just the blacks who are not
represented?
A No There are many whites in west
Greenville who are just as uptight as I am about
this thing. They aren't represented either. All
the representation on the City Council lives east
of Evans Street. All of it. Our Board of
Education is in the same bag It is appointed by
the City Council and alter that is responsible to
no one I've been involved with the Board ol
Education and found it lo be totally
unresponsive to the community I "ere have
been all kinds of excuses made for not meeting
with the people A city government agency has
to be responsible to its constituents There is a
total absence of listening in Greenville I'm
tired of Greenville being run from Biggs Drug
Store on the corner and Brook Valle I doill
live in Brook Valley and I don't go to Biggs
Drug Store. This is not representative ol good
government. I think our city government needs
to be returned to the people and the only way
this can be done is through war. or precnut
representation.
Q. What would be changed by the ward
system of representation?
A I can't say what would be changed, but I
do know that a voice would be heard from west
Greenville. Possibly there would he a change m
the constant move of recreational centers,
cultural centers, etc. I think also that the paving
problem in west Greenville might be solved I
know that the lines of communication would
be improved. Personally. I'd feel a lot more
secure if I had a guy in my neighborhood whom
I could go to with a problem and be relatively
� sure that he would take it to the City Council
The east side oi Greenville is going to have to
learn that it is dependant on the west side, as
well as vice-versa. The sooner we realize this,
the better off we'll be and the closer we'll be to
objective government Returning to the wars
system for City Council elections would
contribute to what our campaign slogan states
total positive government.

Newspaper's open policy
will not be changed
Wo feel the campus newspaper
exists for the purpose oi providing
information and entertainment to the
campus community At the sumo time
it should provide a forum for free and
unencumbered expressions oi opinion
and viewpoint
As a campus newspaper we have the
responsibility ol keeping the
newspaper open to .ill opinions, even
those with which we disagree For this
reason we instigated .1 policy of
soliciting and printing various
viewpoints on as many subjects as
possible.
The American system has long held
that this free interchange oi ideas and
opinions is necessary for the
con t in u.1 tion oi our form of
government I he administration and
"student" courts, however, seem to
feel that they are above the United
States Constitution and have ignored
the First Amendment entirely
We have printed columns and letters
strongly criticizing ideas and
viewpoints we support and have even
printed articles strongly critical oi the
newspaper itself This we feel is our
duty and our responsibility.
In taking advantage of this open
oi ICV President. Leo Jenkins. The
letter ended with the words Fuck
you, Leo Although most of us do
not agree with the use of this
language, the sentiments expressed
reflected those ot a great many of the
student hody. Regardless oi this.
however, we feel that the lettei writer
had every right to express himself in
any legal manner. In addition, we felt
and still feel that it is our duty to
print this opinion.
A suit has been filed in Federal
Court requesting the Court to insure
the First Amendment rights of those
who wish their viewpoints published.
In the meantime, however, we feel it
wise to advise our readers that if they
desire to use controversial language in
their letters, they should take
advantage oi our policy oi withholding
the author's name at his request.
We will not allow the administration
to act as censor of this newspaper and
we would like to make it clear that
there has been no change in our open
policy. We invite your opinions,
regardless oi where you stand.
Hopefully the administration will
eventually come to realize that you
have not changed a person's mind
policy, a student wrote a letter critical merely because you have silenced him.
University Board action
ignored U. S. Constitution
By MICHAEL JACOBSON
(Special
F ounta in head)
The University Board which yesterday
conducted the trial involving Bill Scliell.
obstructed the nghis and privileges that are
guaranteed under the Constitution of the
United States.
In the case, the defense, headed by Rick
Atkinson, tried to show the Board that they did
not have the necessary information to define
the word "obsenitv " He wanted to do this by
introducing numerous court cases to illustrate
his point Henry Gorham, attorney general of
the SGA. objecte many times to this movement
oi detense It seemed to me that Gorhain and
his associate. Ed Harper, worked with the
Board, to manipulate their minds to reject the
court cases as evidence After much delay, a
motion came from the Board to ask for an
executive council meeting. When they
re-entered the room, the verdict was clear; the
cases would not be allowed as evidence. The
defense struggled to regain its composure, but
with the continual objections by the attorney
general, the defense had lost a considerable part
of its case.
The verdict in this case is not important at
the present, but the actions of the Board are. It
is odd that the Constitution guarantees each
person the right of a just trial. The first and the
fourteenth amendments allow for a person to
have certain rights. The due process clause of
the fourteenth amendment enumerates those
rights oi a fair and just trial. The first
amendment, and the most important, allows
him to have the right to speak freely and to
express himself.
It is not Bill Schell that now should go to the
Review Board, but the attorney general, his
associate, and the entire University Board, for
they have infringed on something that
conservatives and liberals both want in this
country, the right to a fair and just trial that is
guaranteed by the Constitution of the United
States, which prevails as the Supreme Law of
the Land.
The Doctor's Bag
By ARNOLD WERNER. M.D
(Copyright 1971 by College Press Service)
QUESTION: I went to a gynecologist about
three months ago and he said I had venereal
warts and they would go away without
treatment This has not happened and i
wondered if you had any ideas on how I could
get nd of them
ANSWER Warts are the result of a viral
infection in the epidermis or superficial layers
)f ihe skin. As the virus reproduces it causes
locul disruption of the structure Ki the skin
le:iilmg to the formation of the wart The
app �ranee of Ihe wart seems to be dependent
upon the ecology of the area inhabited. Thus, a
wart on the hand will have a different
appealance than a wart in the genital area
where a moist and warm environment seems to
result in abundant proliferation. The venereal
wart's proper name is condyloma acuminatum.
This cauliflower-like growth occurring most
often in women is actually not a venereal
disease at all and is thus misnamed
The relationship between a host and an
unwanted guest is always complex and what
makes warts appeal on some people and not on
others is unclear Often the warts disappear
without treatment and the person may develop
immunity to the virus Failing spontaneous
recovery, treatment wnh local application of
medicine is usually successful and if this doesn't
work, it can be froen oft or zapped with
electricity. All three treatments should be
managed by a physician so I suggest returning
to your gynecologist. You have but one set of
genitalia, take good care of it.
QUESTION: Recently my 16 year old sister
expresses an interest in taking birth control
pills. Would the pill be safe to take at such an
early age1 Also, would a method combining
rhythm techniques with both condom and
foam be nearly as safe?
ANSWER: Birth control pills are very safe
medications when prescribed by a physician to
women who have normal physical examinations
and have no history of blood clotting disorders,
migraine headaches, diabetes, and a couple of
other things Age is less of a factor in the use of
the pill than is sexual activity. If your sister is
not too young to be having intercourse
regularly, then she is not too young to be
taking the pill.
The use of a condom and contraceptive foam
in combination is very effective and without
any serious side effects Occasionally, a person
may be allergic to one of the foams but this is
remedied by changing brands Rhythm has no
side effects but is also not effective in
preventing pregnancy.
Since your sister trusts you enough to take
your advice about sexual matters, I hope she is
also asking you questions about closeness, trust,
and interpersonal relations.

Resignation
To Fountainhead:
In one of his more optimistic moments of
genius. William Faulkner penned the following
eulogy to his species: "I believe that man will
not merely endure, he will prevail. He is
immortal, not because he alone among
creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but
because he has a soul, a spirit capable of
compassion and sacrifice and endurance
How glorious the world is when seen through
the lenses tinted with such raptuous optimism.
Yet the recent events at this institution, though
indeed absurdly trivial, have tended to erode
my belief in the authenticity of such a
philosophy. For. however picayune and
ludicrous the injudicious actions of certain
university tribunals, however childishly shallow
the paranoid witch hunting of a certain SGA
attorney general, however tragic the mindless
hulks posing as certain deans, it is possible to
see in these situations a pessimistic antithesis to
Faulkner's hope for man(un)kind. For, in these
events one can see disheartening examples of
hateful interaction between men a mutated
version of man's inhumanity to man where
we must either adopt a facade-ridden, calloused
and aggressive disposition towards each other or
be crushed as an Idealistic Fool. Thus, upon
completion of my commitment to Bob Thonen,
I shall tender my resignation as a public-
defender for this university. Such an
insignificant action may merely solidify my
classification as one of those fools.but if these,
depressing encounters are typical of the species
as a whole, it may indeed be more beneficial to
resign from the entire Association of Homo
Sapiens. 1 apologize to Bill Schell for not
realizing how low the human animal can sink. I
apologize to my own dignity for stooping to
write this letter. Immortal Man - where are
you?
Rick Atkinson
Some noise
To Fountainhead:
In response to Miss Coggins' letter of April
20. as the hall proctor next door. I would like
to say a few words, not in defense of myself
because there is nothing to defend.
Miss Coggins should get a few things straight
before she starts writing letters to the public. In
the first place, why not come to me or to
House Council to complain rather than put a
letter in the newspaper? I'm sure she would get
more or at least better action that way rather
than a laugh in the face or behind the back.
Perhaps she really delights in having her name
in print.
Second, when Miss Coggins came to me
about the noise supposedly directly above her. I
proceeded to go upstairs to ask the residents of
that room to please hold the noise down It just
happened that the person living there was in
bed asleep. This made no difference to Miss
Coggins. I was still to knock on her door, wake
her up, get her out of bed, and demand that she
hold the noise down. I was told later by this girl
thai earlier she had moved her bed away from
the wall because there there had been ants in it
which summoned Miss Coggins to bang on the
ceiling with a broom. Miss Coggins should
realize that a dorm is not a jail or a military
encampment where absolute quiet must exist
when one person demands it It is not a
"cardinal sin" for anyone to move furniture in
their own room. Also, she should realize that
noise travels in the dorm and the noise she
insists she hears directly above her could be
coming from almost anywhere within the dorm
and that since she does live on first floor that
she will hear a certain amount of noise from the
floors above her whether it be intentional,
accidental, or routine.
If 299 out of 300 girls can live in Garrett
without half as many complaints as Miss
Coggins alone, why can she not lea n a little
tolerance and consideration from them?
Miss Coggins also cannot judge the entire
House Council of thirteen members by my
actions. We are individuals and we handle each
case as we each feel it should be handled
Only one of the many duties of the hall
proctor is the reduction of noise Anyone can,
at anytime, ask anyone else to be quiet or write
them up. It is every girl's duty within the dorm
to keep noise at a minimum and Miss Coggins
(
The Forum
should realize that there will be a certain
amount of noise even within a minimum.

Double standard
To Fountainhead:
Mr. Henry Gorham. attorney general, I am a
firm believer that justice must prevail Rules
and regulations are dictated to be enforced.
When the time comes that you, in your
capacity as attorney general, stop enforcing
these rules, you need to step down. In the past
you have done a good job. However, I must
make a few points on your actions at Bill
Schell's trial.
I ask you why are you applying double
standards to this case? Is it not because you
want to screw Bill Schell because he is
associated with Bob Thonen Surely you are
aware of the ruling of the Men's Judiciary
Council in the Baumann Case. The charges were
abusive, obscene, misbehavior. The board found
him guilty, and his sentence was a verbal
leprimand.
Don't respond by saying that this was a more
serious case. For what could be more serious
than a man calling other abusive, obscene
names to his face9 It seems that you key
witness, Dr. James Tucker, could not answer
how he knew that the phrase "Fuck You Leo"
was abusive or obscene to Dr. Leo Jenkins or
the dignity of Jenkins' office.
Since when do cases on which the U.S.
Supreme Court has ruled become not applicable
to the Judicial System of ECU? You knew that
when the defense offered the past rulings of the
Supreme Court that you had not a case at all.
I think the students of ECU should be aware
of the fact that the attorney general applies
double standards in carrying out his job.
Before the University Board on Disruptive
Conduct you introduced into the records
evidence from the North Carolina General
Statutes on Disruption, yet Schell's public-
defenders were not allowed to introduce ruling
pertaining to his case.
Oh. I see, this can only be done when it
serves to the benefit oi the attorney general.
Well, if it is going to be applied, everyone
should have the opportunity to introduce
evidence from the civil courts which pertains to
h .ase. Don't you agree9
You would not respond to the charges that I
made at the hearing. I assume it because you
knew that they were true. I hope you have the
guts to do so now and let the student body
know your position on the double standards
you used. Don't preach one thing and practice
another.

No chance
To Fountainhead:
Dear Miss Coggins, please do not flatter
yourself with the title of "the Ogre of Garrett
Dorm " You are hardly what one could call an
ogre. Your complaint has been justly stated and
received; though going through more direct
channels would have solved your problems
swiftly and with little inconvenience. Going to
the President of East Garrett should have been
your first move after receiving no action from
the proctor on your hall. Our dormitory is
constructed on a system headed by the
presidents and executive committees of East
Garrett and West Garrett. Hall proctors are the
direct means of communication between the
residents and the elected House Council. If
there is any break or failure in these
communications, you, as a responsible resident,
should have reported it to the House Council.
The Fountainhead is not going to change
policies and practices in our dormitory. Letters
do not have the ability to work with people
when problems arise. West Garrett has had
problems brought up and considered,
satisfactory solutions have resulted.
I am not pledging or denying support to the
President of East Garrett nor to the proctor of
your hall, Miss Coggins. I am just informing you
and other students of the House Council and its
function.
Respectfully yours,
Sharon Lewis
President, West Gerre'
Maneuver.ngs
To Fountainhead:
We, in a democratic society, must ask
ourselves the question as all our predecessors
have had to ask; how do we enact change upon
a system that has been established to resist
change?
How do we enact change at this university
which owes it financial life to the varied
interests that President Jenkins must please in
order to prepetuate this establishment?
We, who arc governed by the laws of this
University, are obliged to live under the
conditions set forth by the interest that
contributed to its existence.
We, therefore, are people governed by laws
designed not to please or satisfy those being
governed, but to satisfy those that contribute
to the existence of the University. This is
contrary to the principles that our nation was
established to uphold! Those being governed
must subordinate their interest to the interest
of those in power and in capital. We, therefore,
enter upon a threshold of resistive change
regardless of the merits of that change.
I contend that President Jenkins is applying
undemocratic principles and laws in the
governing of this institution, and it is the duty
of the peoples of this University to declare
these principles undemocratic and
unconstitutional and thus, unenforceable.
It is the duty of the Universities of this
nation to implant its peoples with the workings
of democracy and not of the rule of the
aristocracy.
The Student Government Association should
rule on the legality of the laws governing its
peoples and declare those contrary to the
wishes of those being governed undemocratic
and unacceptable.
We have the right to determine our destinies
and are capable and willing to do the same.
Dr Jenkins has agreed to "talk" with
students and residents of the University in
order to hear what they want to accomplish. I
contend to you that he is already aware of what
the students want. I also contend that his
political manuvering is but a trick to lure
students into believing that he will respond to
their wishes. Our SGA has stated its wishes and
desires very clearly and unmistakeably. This is
the government of the people of this institution
and is therefore representative of the wishes of
its constituents. Why does he need to speak
with anyone, the wishes of the peoples of this
institution are dear! Does he contend to be
ignorant of the workings and principles of
democracy.
In the interest of
representative government,
Ralph J. Lilly
My opinion
To Fountainhead:
After four weeks of quiei observation, I feel
I must voice my opinion concerning the SGA
legislators who do not come to legislature
meetings, or who leave before the meeting is
over. For three out of four weeks, the
legislature has been adjourned with only
slightly more than a quorum. The other week
there was not enough legislators for a quorum
at all.
I have been told that some of these people
have night classes or other meetings to attend.
These may be excused absences, but is this fair
to the students who count on those legislators
to support them in the student government
system I think not.
The legislators who leave during the meeting
are only half representing the students who
elected them I feel these students should be
represented in all of the issues brought before
the legislature, not just part of them. Every
student on campus is affected by the decisions
made in the SGA and are therefore entitled to
complete representation.
1 would ask thai the students gel to know
their legislators, come to the legislature meeting
Monday at S p.m. and see if you are being
slighted. I would also ask, as an interested and
concerned student, that the legislators who aie
slighting the people they icpresent be a little
more conscious of then duties as a student
legislator
