being of sound mind and pos.
. ble sense of timing, undoubtedly is
aware of the magnitude of the goal' he has set for
himsetfin launching a campaign to achieve the status
anlnmsfendent university for East Carolina College,
i so ably as president.
Many a lesser man in Dr. Jenkins* position would
let well enough alone, and be content to serve as head
6f one of the fastest - growing and most dynamic edu
cational institutions if the land, r
_ . — —---.But JLeo Jink ins is
lesMf nfn-- Attend/ he has astounded friends and
skeptics alike with his ability to get things done. He
regards the difficult as something to be done right
away; when he facets the impossible, he asks only
a little time.
Dr. Jenkins was just the man to set the tone
for the meeting of citizens who gathered here to launch
What is called “Farm-City Week in North Carolina**. We
surmise that the group wanted to hear some ideas ab.
out how to bring substantial prosperity to the rural
sections of North Carolina. Since Eastern North Caro
lina is vastly more rural than urban, Dr. Jenkins
surmised correctly, in preparing his suggestions, that
if he could disclose a way to estaomh a senate economy
in the East, he would be fulfilling his misaion. So, let
us provide' for the people of Eastern North Carolina a
means of elevating their sights and their opportunities.
It was natural that he should regard the fur
ther development of his East Carolina College as an
important .means to this end. And he did not misplace
his emphasis when he called attention to the fact that
his is the state's third largest and fastest-growing public
Institution. “Here already stans a university,“ he said
of East CaroMna College. “Why not then declare it
so?“
Only those with closed minds and fidelities 1L
mated to what is erroneously called “The Consolidated
University of North Carolina** will try to argue against
Dr. Jenkins* proposal. In the United States there are
presently 35 state universities having smaller enroll
ments than East Carolina College. Twenty-nine are,
smaller than East Carolina in terms of what they offer
in education.
!East Carolina this year admitted the largest
freshman class ever enrolled in a North Carolina college
or university. It is anticipated that in 1970, East Caro.
* lina will have an enrollment of more tha 15,000.
For so long as those who presently control poli
| ticaand higher education in North Carolina insist
j upon limiting East Carolina to a college status, the
S, institution which Dr. Jenkins heads will be deprived of
l millions of dollars which it would otherwise receive in
f private and public grants. It is a fact that 94 per cent
iof research funds, provided by various grants go to 100
universities around the nation. Barely one per cent go
to institutios limited to caUegest&tus.
Everywhere# is aekmwrlec^jd fiat edujattwn v i
; the key to a sounder eccmomy. It is senseless, then,
it seems to ug, to discount Dr. Jenkins' proposal for
i1 Eastern North Carolina. What he is saying, in effect,
is: Let us provide more in the way of education for
that section of our state which is acknowledgedd to be
most in need of it.
INo doubt Dr. Jenkins' proposal will now be beset
by the protests of those who wish to continue to con
centrate the functions Of higher education in the
Raleigh-Durham.Chapei Hill complex, with off-shoots
at Charlotte and Greensboro in the Piedmont. This
would continue to vest control in the hands of a few.
It will also deprive Eastern North Carolina of its chance
to achieve its place in the sun.
Leo Jenkins is a dreamer, yes. But one gathers,
from watching him, that his dreams involve the hopes
and the future of the section of our state which
most needs an uplifting of its opportunities as well as
its morale. If politicians and other educators really
wish to help Eastern North Carolina, they can best do
.so by giving Leo Jenkins encouragement in his latest
dream
It will be interesting to note who says what in
reaction to Dr. Jenkins' proposal.
