Civilization b Funl

All Can Take Pride In The Feat

A community never knows what it can do until it tries.

In the case of Greenville, we believe the old adasre is pointed up vividly in the raising of more than a quarter million dollars for construction of the new 16,000-seat Ficklen Memorial Stadium on the East Carolina College campus.

The feat is a tribute to the college in that it reflects the solid and generous support East Carolina has in the businessmen and other citizens of Greenville and Pitt County. It is likewise a credit to the people of the community who have so generously come forth with such a large sum of money to be used to provide a new facility the college said it wants aqd needs.

When the campaign began there were probably many citizens In this community who seriously doubted that such a sum could be raised. It was not that they questioned the willingness of the people of Greenville to show their support of East Carolina College in this tangible way, but rather it stemmed from the fact that a quarter million dollars Is a considerable sum of money to raise through public subscription in this community and this county.

It is an accomplishment in which all the people of this community and this cpunty should take considerable pride. It means that here will be located a new facility which will be unmatched anywhere in the eastern section of the state, for nowhere east of Raleigh is there a stadium with a capacity for 16,000 people. It means that the college and the community

; Public Reaction Very Favorable

By LYNN NISBET

RRACTIONReaction to Governor Sanford* "report to th people" the other night ha* been preponderantly favorable among resident* and visitors around capitol square.

His deciedoti not to call a special session of the General Assembly has been unanimously awJiToved, even by some who would have liked to have earlier legislative action than the 1963 regular session. The Governor made it clear he reached that decision reluctantly, and only after consideration of many factors. Admitting some good arguments for a special session, he said the most compelling reason for not calling it is that such action would not be "in keeping with the soundest principles of popular government It is understood, of course that the prime purpose of a special session would have been to submit another bond issue to popular vote, and it was the second election rather than the legislative session per se that was not in keeping with sound principles of popular government.

He set out a series of steps, to be taken to soften as much as possible the immediate Im-, pact of the money loss to institutions. He noted that during the next few months the member* of the Advisory Budget Commission and the administrators of the institutions would have opportunity to thoroughly study the needs and evaluate them for priority consideration. "Thu* through the orderly procedure established by our excellent budget control act." he said, "we will again have a chance to present to the General Assembly a program to be presented to the people."

In the mesntlme, he eald. we will stretch what we have a the demand grows.

COMEBACK-Opinlon is general among those with whom your reporter has talked that the "report to the people" did a lot to'restore publle cwifldence In Governor Sanford. It to no secret that immediately after bond election debacle the Governor* official prestige and personal popularity were very low. This situation was not Improved by his speech to the Farm Bureau, In which he indicate purpose to call a special session and submit bonds to another election, or by his news conference tirade against Republican party leadership. There was an element of poor sportsmanship, indications of a poor loser, In these instances.

Mondsy night he faced up to the facta, as one oldster around the capitol expressed it, "like

a man and a Governor." He wanted a special session and another whack at passing the needed bonds; but he yielded to counsel of more experienced men and did not call it. He was somewhat chastened in manner, lacking some of the brashness which characterized his nomination and election campaigns, but there was no evidence of the defeatism suggested in his Farm Bureau speech. The man who spoke Monday night made no concessions to defeatism. He conceded that the people liad spoken, and contrary to the way he had hoped they would speak, but he had no quarrel with the verdict of the people. He also said, and this is something that wasnt said enough before the bond election, that it ts Important for the people to know the truth about enrollments, research demands to improve our farms, businesses, industries; resesrch in the health fields, and the services rendered by our institutione to the people."

CONFIDENT - One of the most significant and encouraging notes in the Governors speech was sounded In his concluding sentences. He pointed out that expansion, growth and progress are responsible for most of our problemsand also for all our opportunities. It may be very difficult now without the bond money to meet the obvious needs, but in the long run we will in thl.s wav comprehend better our obligations to the future. In the long run we will recover and we will fulfill these obligations. "Indeed, in the long run, democracy is always right. I trust Implicitly the democratic procoM."

That is In the tradition of North Carolina government, and In contrast with the idea sought to be promulgated by some a few months ago that everything has to be remade according to a new pattern right now.

There is considerable evidence that much of the anti-bond vote can be attributed to resentment at efforts to go too far too fast in the way of change. Governor Sanford largely Inherited the bond program, as well as other Items of progress (?), from Governor Hodges administration. During hi* tenure Governor Hodges changed more of the basis operations of State gov-ernmMit than any Governor in many years. The people never had a chance to vote against these items, but some of the resentment was expressed in votes against the bopds. Sure. It doesnt make sense. But thats the way it looks from here.

will have a facility which can be used not only for athletic contest, but for other events that will draw large crowds to Pitt County and to the East Carolina campus.

It is an accomplishment which has attracted state-wide interest and has focused attention on. East Carolina College, Greenville and Pitt County. Of equal importance, it has shown the community that it can accomplish almost anything it desires if efforts of the citizens and the resources of thie community are dedicated to achieving a worthwhile goal.

The success of this roost recent community undertaking is one which will pay dividends to local citizens and this city and county in many ways in the years ahead.

Some Answers Needed On Future Planning

President Kennedys news conference answered one question for men called into military service from reserve and national guard ranks this year, but it likewise raised other questions which the administration may elect not to answer. .

The Presidents announcement that reservists and guardsmen called to active duty will be released within a yearmaybe sooneraffords those now on active duty something definite to count on so far as their getting back to civilian life is concerned.

It also raises the question of what plans the administration has for the conventional military forces of the nation within the next year. Will other guardsmen and reservists be called up to fill the ranks of those who go back to civilian liie? Does the administration anticipate a sufficient build-up of conventional forces without calling reservists to active duty within the next year? Does the administration anticipate the need of a lesser number of men in conventional military units a year from now than it feels is necessary now for the nations security?

Certainly we must assume the international situation will have a bearing on what the administration feels is adequate in the way of military personnel on active duty during the coming year. The announcement might be interpreted as an indication the administration feels there will be an easing of international tension within the period. It might likewise be interpreted as meaning conventional military forces will be replaced to some extent by other military strength within the coming year.

It is doubtful that the administration has taken a short-range view of the military needs of the nation so far as the reservists on active duty is concerned. It would, of course, be folly for the administration to adopt a policy of calling reserv^e or National Guard units to active duty for short periods of time with the idea of calling up different units each,time the international situation changes.

It w'ould be in the interest of the country in our opinion, for the administration to spell out the answers on some of its long-range military plans in order that citizens would have a better understanding of just where the reserve units fit into the overall picture and what the administration intends their fole to be in the future military preparedness' picture.

On Meetina The Coach

A most pletsant interview with East Carolinas new football coach a couple of days ago had to be squeesed into a very busy schedule of a very busy man. Clarence Stasavlch.

"Stas," as be to known In football circles, was visiting a former teammate in Kinston prior to speaking at Grainger High Schools annual football banquet.

It waa quite a coincidence that the former Lenoir Rhyne head coach had acheduled a apeaklng engagement just 28 miles from the East Carolina campus on the very day he was appointed new head coach at the Greenville school.

Stasavlch commented thoughtfully: "Thgts really aomething, isnt it? When I agreed to speak at this banquet, I had no earthly idea of ever coming to East Carolina College as coach."

His visit with Bob Pooveya

Lenoir Rhyne gridiron standout during Stssavichs playing daya in Hickory during the early 1930s precipitated a sort of chain reaction of remembering the good old daya.

Poovey and Stasavlch recalled aloud smltterings of their exper-lencee while classmates and teammates at Lenoir Rhyne.

When asked whether be owned a middle initial, "Stas" recalled his high school days back in his native Illinois.

"I was Just a poor boy. When I got to high school, everybody else had a middle name, so 1 figured I might as well get myself one. too."

He remembers he played it by ear. "It just seemed like Phil-Up sounded good with the rest of my name, so I adopted it and I was Clarence P. Stasavlch."

..nterview

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Kennedys Interview with a Russian newsmanpublished in full In Russiadidnt contain much that was new but it accomplished a few things-

They could be listed this way;

1. He washed out for the West Germans any illusion they might haveor their politicians were keeping alivethat they might be reunited with Communist-held East Germany or that this country would put up a battle for reunification.

He said "we recognize that today the Soviet Union does not Intended to permit reunification and that as long as the Soviet Union has that policy, Oep many will not be reunified."

2. Kennedy assured the Russiansand this may have been* a vital point in their hostility to West Germany that this country not only would not give the^West Germans nuclear weapons but expressed reluctsnct to see them make their own-

8. Since the interview was to be published in full in Moscow, it gave him a chance to get hli views in detail across to th* Russian people whose knowledge of the American position is probably very fragmentary.

4. By showing no belligerence at all he left the door open to reasonable dealings with the Soviets while, because of the contrast it would provide, making it a little more awkwaxd for Premier Khrushchev to sound extreme.

Khrushchev himself in recent month* has been very mild compared with hla statementa on Btrlln last summer.

5. Kennedy got in some propaganda against Communist ex^ pansion and Its suppression of freedoms-speciflcally its not permitting free elections in the satellite countriesin the Soviet governments own newspaper, Izvestia.

But he did not have the propaganda field to himself. Khru-shcheva son-ln-Iaw. Alexei Ad-zhubei. the editor of Izvestia who interviewed him. got in licka against the support this country hu given tyrants and reactionary regimes.

Since this wasnt an American-type new* conference limited to questions and answers. Adzhubel wu able to express Russian viewpointa, knowing they would be published in his newspaper side by side with Kennedys.

Both Kennedy and Adzhubel had their thinking well-organized before they sat down together. So there was no stumbling. Their replies to each other were ao quick and to the point it wu u if each had seen what the other would say beforehand.

But there wu nothing sensational in the glve-and take, any more than there wu in the three interviews Khrushchev gave this year to American newsmen in Russia.

Both Kennedy and Khrushchev used the interviews for getting tcrou their viewpoint. But, since their viewpoints already were well known to each other, neither could be surprised by what the other said-

What could be considered new In Kennedys interview were these two poinU:

I. The West will consider (CoQtinusd on Page 6)

(Greeneboro Dally News)

Good senu prevailed in Governor Sanfords decision not to call a special aeulon of the General Assembly.

With obvious reluctance but a spirit of good sportamanshlp. the Governor backed away from what previously seemed his determination to fight for another bond lisue referendum. There was no lack of courage here. More courage, indeed, was required to execute an about-face than would have been manifested otherwise.

"To call another election now," the Governor said in his TV-radlo message to the state, "would be to say when a democratic election is lost, call another if you can. This would be a bad precedent. It is haphazard. This is not conducive to the orderly proceue* of democratic government. The people made the decision and I will abide the decision. The people made the decision and the urgent need* must abide the decision.

The voice of reuon, thus, spoke in the Governors words. He had heard out hli advisers who said, "Sock em again: retrieve your lost prestige ftobt through and win. He had heard out, too, those who advtoed caution an(! restraint.

The latter won because they had the balance of judgment on their side. The timing of another bond issue, set in motion even before the canvassing of votes for the lately lamented referendum, would have been Ul-advised. if not disastrous. By appealing to party loyalty of the Democratic majority, Governor San

ford might have bulled another referendum through the General Assembly. But whether the people. confronted again by issues they had previously rejected, would respond positively, that was the brutal and unpredictable question.

Governor Sanford's speech left no doubt in any mind that the Governor intends to fight for the more vital issues In the bond issue package with every weapon at his command. He wUl initiate planning on some of the badly needed dormitories at state institutions- He has asked all state agencies to save money in current budgets so that any surplus funds will be available for badly needed items.

In the meantime, the Governor has alerted the state to the nature of the unmet needs in a dramatic way. Some who listened to hto speech wondered why something like It had not been delivered prior to November 7.

But whatever the mistakes of mtojudgment and complacency. Governor Sanford has demonstrated no ILck of balance and discernment even In the wake of defeat. Uke any legder of ambition and vigor hto first reaction was to fight back, tooth and toenail. But wiser second thought, based on a respect for democratic processes, decreed an acceptance of the peoples will.

That kind of judgment will go far toward repairing the damage done on November 7. By accepting with grace the hard knocks of one major setback. Governor Sanford enhanced hto own capacity for wiser leadership in the future.

slrlcUy by official birth records and mine didnt have a middle name so my middle initial has been gone ever since."

During hto years as a football player and coach, its quite thinkable that many of hto opponents might have accorded Stasavlch a realistic middle name.

. His reputation in both roles would indicate a fitting middle inital for the 48-yeax-old pigskin engineer should be something 'like T." (Triumphant), "V." (Victoriouf) or iome such letter to stand for hto outstanding football accomplishments.

But a brief Interview with Ftasavlch a quite powerful-looking man with an equally obvious gentle touchcan be convincing that the new captain of the Pirate ship is not only a football giant.

He professes, of course, intense interest in developing wlnr ning football teams. Thats his profession. But he views college football as a means to an end.

A successful football program can be a decided benefit to a colleges public relations activities. But. more importaJit to Stasavlch. football can be a useful vehicle for conveying to players a "real good education" and developing them into uaeful citizen! in a community."

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Copyright, 1961, King Peaturea Syndicate, Inc.

I am asked by M. J. Crawford of Ridgewood, New Jersey, to define an "extreme rightist." The questioner wonders what President Kennedy meant when he referred to such in a speech in California.

Unfortunately, it Is a meaningless term, just u "extreme leftist" would be meaningless. No one can accurately define such terms. It is unfortunate that President Kennedy did not use a more precise phrase.

Any thinking people divide themselves into various segments of thought and response to public questions. Let us define some of them as they now exist:

1. The Middle-of-the-Roadera are those who always go along with what at the moment is popular and acceptable. When Eisenhower was President, they held that whatever Eisenhower aaid was inspired; now. they hold that whatever Kennedy says to inspired. They are never wrong because they never dif for from the popular. They serve any master who seeki their service;

2. Among those who are no< so pliable are many who hold differing principles of life. These may range on what is called thi Right from 19th century Liberals who fear the spread of the power of government to conservatives who wish to preserve the traditions of the country to reactionaries to whom all changes are repugnant; and on what to called the Left arc those who would accelerate change and reform at various rates of speed to the Communists who would destroy our system of life and adopt Marxism.

When President Kennedy refers to the Right Extremists, he could mean such groups as the John Birch Society or the Min-utemen who decline to recognize the course of events since 1914 and the vast changes that have already occurred in this country. They sincerely would like to live In the world as it existed when they were bom; they wouW like to ignore the drastic social and economic changes that have taken place since they were born. They find these changes hateful. They opposed Franklin D. Roosevelt and they refuse to recognize that the New Deal did manage to make a violent change in our lives.

President Kennedy finds such groups distasteful because they are unrealistic. They fail to recognize that the Marxist movement throughout the world altered many of the accepted ways of life. Their children and grandchildren can describe these changes and their effects upon them. For Instance, they can tell their elders that whenever they have to consider marriage. college, careers, any phase of life, they must consider the prospect of war, the menace of war, the delays that war will bring to theu* lives. The younger generation cannot go back to 1900.

President Kennedy is himself of this younger generation. He has been to war* His back has been brcAen by war. He has made a success in life but ho knows how many of his colleagues and friend* have be-^ come permanently crippled by war; he knows bow many of them received "Dear John letters; he knows the heart-break of unsatisfied aspirations.

But what undoubtedly shocks him is that the next generation to his, the youngsters, are conservatives to a greater or lesser degree. This younger generation rejects the cliches and truisms of the Liberals, the mouthing* of the New Dealers. They seek to relate their ideals of progress to historic memory.

Just as the radicalism of the 1930s shocked the elders of that period, so the conservatism of youth today shocks the balding middle-aged of the 1930*. Adlal Stevenson may have been regarded as a philosopher of the 1940# but in the 1960s, youth seeks clearer definitions, a review of the relations of science and religion. They do not quote Thorstein Veblen or John Maynard Keynes, but tkcy know such names as Martin Buber and Sydney Hok. Just as the;r forbears knew of Howard Fast, 60 today the youngsters know of William Buckley. Just as their forbears laughed at God. so do they in this period try to discover God. The world has changed, as it always changes, from generation to generation and only those stand still who are blind- (Continued on Page 6)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS DENOMINATIONS Are denominations helpful? They have their dissdvanlage. the' chief disadvantage being that they are somewhat divisive. Mott people tpeak of the two hundred denominations. As a matter of fact, there^are only forty denomlnatlon^Kiich have any considerable^^emberfhlp. It cannot be dened that if all these Christians were gatherad together Into one body, a certain effecUveneaa would be ac-compltohed. But there would also be serious problems. aiKl divisin. we can be sure, would still continue.

Each denomination emphasizes some special aspect of Christian truth. The Idea of God aa revealed to ua in the Bible to ao big that the beet we can hope to do to to regard these different aspects from diffeitpt

points of view. Each denomination emphasizes some great religious tnith. This does not mean that its members believe these things and the members of other denominations do not believe them. There Is almost complete unity of belief among the deoominallons as regards basic Christian doctrine. They differ on theological details, on emphases. on forms of government, on the manner and time of per-forming sacraments.

We shall be most unwise if we plunge without thinking into some scheme for church union, the Implications of which have not been carefully thought out. The United States would not be a better country If we erased the state lines. The cause of Christ will not be furthered simply by the erasing of denomina-U(wal lines. The denominationa still have a helpful part to play in the life of faith.
