GREENVILLE — East Car
olina University announced the
beginning of its instructional
program of Roanoke Island in
Dare County.
As a starter, the university
will offer this summer through
its Division of Continuing Ed
ucation (DCE) courses in
drama, music, art and com
munity relations. Dates are
June 17 - Aug. 2 and tuition
is $27 a course.
Any high school graduate who
Is eligible to return to any
college or university he may
have attended is eligible to
enroll for the undergraduate
courses in art and music. The
other two courses are at the
senior-graduate level and are
open only to college graduates
or students with senior stand
ing.
Dr. David J. Middleton, DCE
dean, said the Dare program
“p/ovides an opportunity for all
eligible individuals to attend
university courses while in the
Dare County area during the

the residents of Eastern North
Carolina with their plans for
continuing and broadening their
general education. This pro
gram is particularly designed
for those who find it impossible
to attend East Carolina Uni
versity as a regular day stu
dent on the campus at Green
ville.”
He added, “We expect a sub
stantial number of teachers to
earn credit toward renewal of
teaching certificates through
these courses this summer.”
The first summer’s program,
to be coordinated by ECU’s new
ly-appointed Dare County di
rector, William C. Morrisette,
will offer this schedule of three
quarter hour courses:
June 17-28, “Contemporary
Drama” (English 314Gb, sen
ior-graduate); July 8-19, “Art
Appreciation” (Art 217, under
graduate), July 22-Aug, 2,
“Home-School-Community Re
lations” (senior-graduate) and
“Music Appreciation” (Music
120, undergraduate).
The ECU program is en
visioned ultimately as an imr
portant campus of the univer
sity, offering a program tailor
ed to needs suggested by pro
fessional studies and public de
mands.
The program will have head
quarters on property given the
ECU Foundation last fall by the
people of Dare County. Esti
mated value of the property,
about 90 acres at Manteo Air
port and two school buildings
in Manteo, is more than
$500,000.
Currently, the university is
jonducting a $50,000 study of
its proposed operation on Roa
noke Island with funds from
the Economic Development Ad
ministration. The study is ex
pected to yield some positive
guidelines for future develop
ment of the Dare County
campus.
Further information about the
Dare County program is avail
able from the DCE offices at
the University, located in Er
win Hall (P. O. Box 2727, Phone
758-3426, Extension 327,
Greenville 27834).

lem. Another aspect of coi)-
cern is the medical policy and
facilities of the college. The
nurse is not on duty full time
and the doctors are not respon
sible for only Wesleyan
students, so we must wait our
turn like everyone else. The
college will do its best to see
that none of us die before re
ceiving some type of aid. In
any case, if you are sick go
and see your house mother and
she will direct you through the
proper channels. Dean Wilde
commended the freshman
dorms on their tremendous
strides toward making them
more fitting places to study
and to live. Those of us with
memories will sympathize with
them. There are still obvious
problems with the social life,
but then again there is the
question of whether or not the
average student takes advantage
of all of the opportunities
offered to him.
Then there was the momen
tous announcement that there
would be no more of the usual
chapel services next year. The
Convocations would take their
place. Then came the discus
sion of one of the most pressing
problems of this college, the
lack of funds forced a reduc
tion of $6,000.00 in the student
budget for the coming year.
The students here pay about 58%
of the costs of their educa
tion per semester. Wesleyan
is still one of the less expen-
ive private colleges in the
southeast. However, rising
costs will force tuition up by
$100.00 and the amount that
board will increase was not
even announced. The students
will have to find the meSns
whereby to pay for more of
their activities and projects.
The Dean closed by expres
sing his pride in us and our
accomplishments. Yet, he
would like for us to become
more involved in life and the
issues of the day. In short,
student affairs here are neither
good nor bad but rather
“. . .becoming.”
