First-come-first-serve basis Campus discussed Registration for ECU's unique overseas campus program at Bonn. Germany for 1972-73 is now possible for only one or two quarters, as well as for the entire academic year. This announcement was made last week by Dr. Robert W Williams, University Provost, shortly after his return from a visit to Bonn In addition to negotiating the terms of ECU's contract with the German foundation which owns Haus Steineck, the site of ECU Bonn, Williams discussed the current program with the Risedent Director, Dr Hans H Indorf of the ECU Political Science Ttepartment. German staff members, and most of all with the students. His findings generally coincided with the opinions expressed in The Forum (FounUinhead. Tuesday, March 21) by 29 of the 37 students currently at Bonn. Like most other major undertakings, international or otherwise, the Bonn program has had its share of problems, Williams acknowledged. These have been recognized and appropriate corrective action has been initiated Most of the problems have been due to inflation in Germany and the worldwide decline in the value of the American dollar The monetary situation has been attacked in two ways. First the fee for the Bonn program has been increased for next year by nearly ten percent. Second, the contract with the German foundation has been written in such a way as to reduce somewhat the total cost of leasing Haus Steineck Another change, upenmg registration on a quarter by quarter basis, is intended to make the program available to more students, thereby reducing the possibility that it might have to be discontinued for lack of participants To make application or obtain additional information on cost and travel arrangements for one or two quarters or the entire year, see Robert Franke. campus administrator for the Bonn program, in Room A 105 of the Social Studies Building, between 8 30 and 5:00. If at all possible, Franke suggests that you see him before the spring holidays. Greenville, N. Carolina Volume HI, Number 41 Monday, March 27, 1972 aid offered David Boone has been selected as ECU's campus coordinator m Allen Barbee's campaign for Lt Governor Campaign Headquarters will be established at Aycock 329 where campaign materials and significant registration and absentee voting matenals will be available Any person wishing to aid in the campaign come by Aycock 329 or Tyler 908 President wins prize Kathy Tmdall. president of Lambda Tau Medical Technology Honor Society, won second place in the National Honors award for Lambda Tau To enter, each chapter of Lamdba Tau had to choose a candidate to send to the National Headquarters with some information on the individual and why this individual contributed to Lamdba Tau Tmdall received $175.00 for winning SGA candidates receive students' endorsements To Fountainhead: Undoubtedly, the candidates that receive letters, receive them by solicitation and the letter content is full ol analytical reasons why so and so should hold a particular office. Well, this letter will not contain any qualitative analysis of each candidate nor was it solicited by any member of the S.O.A.P. platform committee, but instead it was offered to the committee as a token of appreciation. Students of Anarchist Principles, is by far the most progressive student oriented organization on campus. Its platform is'simple and to the point-abolish the SGA Some on this campus can sec the SOAP viewpoint, others on campus, they don't understand why the abolition of the SGA is needed. It is needed so that the students on this campus, and others like it can control the student aspect of the University without having some political egotist telling the students what to do. The students on each and every university campus should and must control student funds. To do this certain steps must be taken: 1) the students must confront the student body as a whole and tell students of administrative controls, 2) the students must then tell the administration that reforms must be made and 3) after the administration has refused (as on this campus) the students must then become independent of the administration. Attei the SGA has boon moved off campus, then working through the ,ourt system the students wdl sue the State of North Carolina claiming legal control of their funds. The battle will be long and difficult, but students of every type complain about the administration but up until now no one would do anything Well SOAP is now the only alternative, and looking at every alternative that is put before the student, the logical road to take. On Tuesday, March 28, vote SOAP. Michael Jacobson To Fountainhead: We, the undersigned Fine Arts students, officially endorse and support R,ck Atkinson for Vice-Pres.dent of the SGA urging all students, particularly in Fine Arts, to do the same We feel that his proposals to: lWivert funds to begin a substantial recruiting program for the Fine Arts programs, 2)provide SGA funds to obtain a renowned musician-in-residence. 3)finance a rock band of students from the School of Music to perform at University functions at no cost to students 4)convert the old heating plant into an art studio and area for building and storing theatre sets, prove him to be the candidate most conducive to the urgent needs of Fine Arts students and t.CV. in general. We feel that he has the ability to transform proposals into reality. Vote Atkinson for V P on March Jan Lukens Shannon McBride Ellen P. Mayer Mary Loughran 'larcia Studerbaker Christine Fisher John Foster Shep Shepherd To Fountainhead: On Tuesday. March 28, another SGA election will take place Many students will perhaps fail to vote using as their reason the ?'powerlessness" of the SGA I would hope that all students could unite and vote in this election to help make their SGA nose powerful and more viable. Several good candidates will be on the ballot for the various offices. One of the most exceptional candidates in my mind is Rick Atkinson Rick, runninfc for SGA Vice President is an individual who is not only concerned about students and their rights, he is an individual who has the intelligence, the rationality, and the deep-down guts to work to his utmost for the good of all students. I will consider it a privilege to vote for Rick Atkinson on March 28. I sincerely hope that all students will study each individual candidate and then cast his vote accordingly Sincerely. Jim Htcki Vtee Prescient To Fountainhead As members of an oppressed majority, we urge all women students to cast their votes for the one Vice-Presidential candidate who will be truly effective in eliminating the repercussions of East Carolina's double-standard. We feel that Rick Atkinson is not only capable of talking about problems, but that he has the ideas, drive, and understanding to correct them. We hope that all women will cast their votes for more than an empty voice. Vote action!

L radic , radix root -alis -a - more at root) 1 of or relating to the root proceeding directly from the root, as e: designed to remove the root of a disease or all diseased tissue (surgery) - compare conservative (from Webster's Third New International Dictionary unabridged). It has been so long since I have made a public statement on ANY issue that I may have some difficulty expressing my thoughts on a subject which I feel should be addressed most strongly, however, those of you who remember the name Bob Thonen may feel what I have to say worth the extra effort. Since late last spring I have maintained a moratorium on public statements and overt actions. The reasons for this decision included severe family sickness and financial as well as other problems in addition to a general feeling on my part that one individual is simply not capable of bringing about radical (see above) change without a large amount of support. The emergance of the Students of Anarchists Principles (S.O.A.P.) has indicated to me that there is an unknown number of students who seem to view the current student situation similarly to the way that I do. From the SOAP, platform: "It is time that students realize that the SGA is nothing but a puppet government sanctioned by the Administration to be used for its purposes. It does not represent the student body; rather, it becomes a buffer between the wishes of the students and the ruling hierarchy, diverting attention away from the true source of corruption, the admim.siration It is quite simple The SCA is simply a lackey ot LooW. Jenkins and his cronies The answer to this problem cited by S.O.A.P. likewise reflects the views that I hold: there is only one major issue ,n our campaign That is the complete abolishment of .he present Student Government Association, through its constitution "And further, "We propose that the constitution be abolished and an entirely new one be drawn up by a delegat.on of concerned students, elected a. large from the student body specifically for this purpose I he document would then be required to be ratified by a 23 vote of the students voting Such extensive surgery as this is only justified when all other actions have been found to fail. For this reason I bring to your attention the occurances of las. spring mcludmg such depressing events as the total failure of vis.tat.on and the mass.v admmistration attack on the campus newspaper. The resignation of Glennrowshaw following the crushing, behind the scenes actions of the administration, the sarmlar resigna.um of )av,d Edward, and fhe control the administration holds over the very qualifications of those the students can elect to ,ep,ese hemselves should indicate thai more has fo be done than" elect a good man to SGA office I, ,s beyond me how anvone Tan expect that an organization such as the SGA which ,s subject to .he approval of ,he university president can hope to accomp , h anything which ,s counter ,o the w.shes of that same tnd, Ju logic dictates tha, thls sa pocr n ?" du I the wishes of the students over those of Uo The mass,ve amounts of student apathy a.

A, a meeting las. week.Rob Luisana lnadc ; ,o me that he would C Referendum on the major point ,n the SOAP, platform should he be elected president fins would be a referendum m the abolishment of the present SGA constitution and that a new one be draw up by a delegat.on of concerned students, elected a. arge from ,he specifically for this purpose. A, the tf - will ot the students an individual w,l be m the offlce ,? km who will be able to do the most with ,he tools that .he present structure provides. I suggest that the following course of action be taken 1 That those students who fee this course Qf promise should vote for Rob Luisana who will then instigate the referendum procedures as prov,ded by ,he existing constitution 2. Should the students indicate by their votes tha. they do ,n fact desire the rewriting ol the SGA const.tut.on an election would then be held to select the co,npoS1,ion of a Constitutional Convention which will be responsible to, determining .he form the new constitution shall take Th,s same convention will be responsible for contacting the colleges and universities by either personal or phone contact. Wide have already taken this course of action in order to put together an entire package wh.ch would not legally be subject to the approval of Leo .3. The election of these -epresentatives would not have to be bound by such current assinine qualifications as having a 2 0 average or belonging to a certain class or group or any other divisive requirements because there is no mention of "qualifications" lor any Constitutional Convention in the SGA constitution. 4. Give these individuals enough time to thoroughly research and draw up the proposed new constitution which would be presented to the entire student body ,n the first two or three weeks in the fall and would require a 23's vote for approval 5. Should the students not accept the firs, rewrite .he eonvent.on would be required to remam m tetOB an(J offerj changes in the form of formal votes at a irrinirmon of once a month until they offer the students a constitution which they find acceptable. 6. The existing SGA structure would remain in effect and continue functioning until such time as the students formally accept a new constitution, at which time whatever structure contained in the new constitution would be implemented within one month. If such a course of action is going .? succeed then the students will have to indicate to the individuals running that they will no longer accept lackeys of the administration representing them and that they will no longer accept continuation of a form of government which is not representative of themselves. Such drastic surgery as this is necessary if we are to have a form of government which is not diseased and rotten to the core. Bob Thonen To Fountainhead I wish to address this letter to all students who consider themselves open-minded and clear -thinking human beings. Of late, the cry on this campus has been. Why are we living in the past?" The Administration seems f bleve that we are lobotomized zombies who can't make ii.ielligent and rational decisions on our own. The students' l:sk is to make this idea an idea of the past. If we intend to make this institution into a true university, we must elect someone who is strong-willed and well-informed The office of SGA President can no longer be a vital office if it is manned" by self satisfied egotists For those of you in the student body who want this university ar J it. SGA to become the progressive and well-organized body it must, I urge you to THINK and THINK AGAIN on election day I he future of this student body (and its power) isn t worm a damn if its head (the SGA President) is screwed on backward, decapitated i made of mud. In othei terms ??? need ? tving liil, , a mi ??? A 'ivitcvinan. ln- lu discipline and dedication As jn honor giaduale (4 O) of a .unic.r college, she is a strong believer in the power ol education As a person, she is decisive, diplomatic, strong- willed and prudent. But all these are just words, and words can never adequately present the true person. If you are truly open-minded, and feel that this school needs a progressive change, then make your vote worth something toward that change. Don't succumb to out-dated traditions and peer group pressures. Tome out of the past and vote intelligently vote for lee McLaughlin Sincerely. E.M. Ronzo To Fountainhead After reading the presidential candidates' views on the issues on this campus, I was amazed at the lack of reality in the majority of their opinions. What can the student body do afiout the construction of the new student union when the land has been purchased and the money appropnated, with the approval of a previous Student Government? If the aim of candidates seeking office is to completely undo what past Student Governments have done, the end result will be chaos What guarantee do we have that the money would be rechanneUed into "more useful areas" if stopping construction were possible I realize that appealing to the student body emotionally over issues out of our control is good political tactics, but we are in college now and should be responsible enough students to demand representatives who are capable of cutting through this garbage and accomplishing realistic goals Lee McLaughlin is capable of this As a candadate for SGA President. I feel that she is the most competent and truly concerned candidate running. When you vote today, consider the issues and the ptoposed plans of action. Wouldn't a realistic- person with insight be a refreshing change? Rhonda Baufoot To Fountainhead: Rob Lusiana has received publicity for his participation in campus causes. I noticed that along with Lusiana two people unknown to me for their contributions on campus are running with him. This coalition makes you wonder about the courage and self-esteem that the other two people may have. Whether true or not it seems they are trying to ride Luaana's tale of fame into office. This is similar to when Agnew an unknown ran on Nixon's tail Of course, I'm not saying that these two people are as qualified as Agnew (I mean unqualified) As has been stated in the past, we need leaders, not ves men to the executive Whether this coalition suffers a lack ol courage to stand on then own without Lusiana s publicity is a matter for the people on campus to decide. We need people who will stand by themselves, lor what they are and have done. Not people who w II stand in the shadow of someone else's ability and courage. I feel people should he elected that have something to say and do, people who take a
