PAGE TWELVE Senator Sam Ervin Says WASHINGTON The American people have wit nessed a multitude of un lawful demonstrations and riots on our college camp uses during the- last year. Judging from a recent Gallup Poll, most hard working American taxpay ers find these student ac tivities appalling particu larly at State institutions which the taxpayers are subsidizing. Equally frustrating to the taxpayer has been the response of many univer sity administrators to the student challenge. All too often, we have seen college presidents capitulate to student demands after they have vandalized school buildings, destroyed re search papers representing years of effort, and rifled personal files and corre spondence. The recent surrender of Cornell University’s ad ministration to armed ban doliers was no isolated event, but characterized a growing reign of anarchy on campuses across the na tion. Americans are dis mayed by many of the ac tions that are taken by a handful of students in the name of reform. What is worse, administrative per missiveness of outrageous conduct has led to a virtual breakdown of an educa tional atmosphere at some of our most honored uni versities and colleges. It is with a great deal of relief that I note that Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, Presi dent of East Carolina Uni versity, took a firm stand on student behavior sev Cl T HENRY HINTON Vocalist, Chowan High, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hinton.

M. eral days ago. X>r. Jenkins spoke at a university con vocation and defined the perimeters of student con duct which the State Uni versity at Greenville will tolerate. He said with re freshing forthrightness: “This campus will not become a rest haven for the indolent, a correctional institution for the undis ciplined, a remedial insti tution for the untrained, and most emphatically it will not become a sanctu ary for the lawless . . . The few individuals on this campus who have intimat ed that buildings might be burned should hear this and hear it clearly. Force will be met with force, and lawlessness shall be prose cuted to the full extent of the law.” Dr. Jenkins went on to point out something that may have been lost sight of in the rash of headlines that have told of campus disorders. He stated that every student at East Ca rolina University received a taxpayer’s scholarship of at least SBOI and that of the 67 students who were immediately petitioning the University with a wide range of “demands”, 45 re ceived additional financial aid ranging from S3OO to $1,846 per year. Dr. Jenkins did not close the door to change, but he warned the students that they will be held respon sible for their actions. I wish to applaud his sensi ble action. There is much need today for frankness as well as fairness about the responsibilities which CONGRATULATIONS & BEST WISHES ~ THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. MAY «. IMA individuals bear in our so ciety. As Dr. Jenkins says, our institutions are not perfect, but remedies should be considered “only through regular and order ly channels.” The crucial question is whether we are willing to permit every means to destroy our educational system which offers the best hope of civilization’s survival in a perilous world. In contrast to the tragedy at Cornell, Dr. Jenkins offers a sensible alternative for our admini strators to follow.
