A realization of that respon sibility can transform Eastern North Carolina into an area of enlightened progress, an area able to support itself, an area ablo to afford good government, and, what is more, an area worthy of its' heritage. That responsibility, however, iirst must be realized by the trus tees of East Carolina College.. They must lift their eyes beyond the bounds of the campus, the coast, and the plains. They must, if for but this brief moment, be aware of the world, and they must select, a man equal to its chal lenge. This is the humble plea of an Eastern North Carolinian who with pride in its past, concern lor its present, faith in its future, and love for its people hopes to re turn and settle at home. and NATO. To lose the sometimes wavering friend ship of this nation may be to lose Asia. On December 14 the President will be in Tehran for Talks with the Shah of Iran. This oil-rich, strong ly pro-Western country is bordered by the Soviet Union and Iraq, and finds pressures constantly heavy. She is one of the mist important allies we have, and also must be given guarantees 01 full support. The President s next stop will be Athens for conferences with Karamanlis of Greece. This ancient land, long a devoted friend of the United States, is involved in a bitter imbroglio with Great Britian over rights of Cyprus. The President must carry some tentative plans with him for solutions to this problem. On Decern OtT 13 Eisennower journeys to Patvs for three days of meetings with DcGaullc of France. Macmillian of Britian. and Adenauer of West Ger many. The outcome of these meetings will be crucial. DeGaulle and Adenauer, still feeling slight ed over what they consider lack of consultation with the Western powers, must be pacified and must be made to understand that they are considered links as important as any in the allied chain. On December 22 the President closes out his trip with a visit to the King of Morocco in Rabat. This former French protectorate is now raising thc issue of United States bases, and is desirous of removing them. This strategic country, located op posite the Rock of Gibraltar, is a vital key in our defense and must not be allowed to fall out. It car. be retained only by friendship and offers of aid. All of the countries which thc President will visit have been, in the last ten or fifteen years, greatly dependent on United States aid. 'This is. for thc most part, no longer true. They are be ginning to be independent, self-sufficient nations which wish to assert this new-found strength, and it is the purpose of the President's trip to bring them more deeply Into" the 'intcrAational vendetta currently on stage. In this age of transportation nad communica tion the new diplomacy may be the only sane method of international relations. Dulles, father ol the concept, used it sometimes wisely and sorr.c time poorly. He was a trailblazer! but his own indecisiveness was a major hurdle to his own .suc cess. If Eisenhower is to be successful in this ven ture he must remain constant in his views and m his intentions; if he wavers, as he and Dulles did in the past, the mission will have been a failure Also contingent upon thc success of thc mission is Eisenhower's place in history. Formerly a weak President, he has used the inability to run for re election to do things which he had not dared to do before and has consequently raised the world's opinion' of himself. ' This venture, if successful, could change his Presidency from a mediocre one to at least a good on.. Steei Strike Mary Stewart Baker The steel girders that appear to Irold together the "health and safe ty", seams of the United States are slowly being dissolved by the bind ing steel strike. The - situation, v bich should be of interest to us all, - has already been given nota ble attention by Jonathan Yard ley. Ail-- ' " -- In order to augment Yardley's discussion. I think it is of the greatest importance that we all understand, in a broad outline, the Taft Hartley emergency injunction as applied by President Eisenhow er in his approach to the steel problem. Thc Taft-Hartley injunction it self arrd a-revicw of its "Use in the prist was included in a TIME MAGAZINE article several weeks ago; Time, then, has suggested to me the idea and necessity of dis cussing thc law here. Everyone should be fairly famil iar with the purpose of in in junction; it serves as an interrup tion; it doesn't attempt to settle the dispute. The interruption pro vided is an 80-day period, during which time labor and management are offered the chance to work toward a new contract through special negotiations.'- During this tlmcr"strikers" return to" the mills. When President Eisenhower in voked the Taft-Hartley device on October 9. he set into motion a law explainable most easily by three steps. 1 After the President decides to use the emergency provision, he is first required to appoint a fact-finding committee to evaluate thc effects of the strike and any possibilities for solution. '2' If the appointed committee reports that there is no prospect of solution, the President then must send the Attorney General to a federal district court to ob tain an issuance of the injunction from the court. (3' If the court issues the "cease - and - desist" injunction, strikers arc ordered back to their work for an 80-day period. Dur ing this time, while production is restored, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service attempts to bring some kind of agreement between labor anc management. After 75 days, a secret election is conducted; this election gives the workers one last . chance to accept the terms offered by man agement. If labor does not accept the offer, the injunction is lifted and the workers are free to re sume their strike. These three steps then are a dry outline of the so-called "In terruption" provided for in the Taft-Hartley law. Now, let's turn to an exemplification of the steps as shown through the steel hap penings of the past month and a half. ( 1 President Eisenhower, invok ing the law to protect "national health and safely" on Oct. 6, ap pointed the required fact-finding committee. The committee pre sented facts, indicating that no solution was in sight. ' 2 Thc Attorney General was then sent to Federal District Court in the jurisdiction of the strike: This was the court of Federal District Judge Herbert P. Sorg in Pittsburgh. On Oct. 21 Judge Sorg agreed that the strike was impending "national health and safety," therefore issuing the in junction. 1 3 The final step in the Taft Hartley device that of bargain ing is in the process now. It is not my intention here to predict the outcome of the negotiations. I " 1 y Neither Black nor White, Mostly Shades Of Gray Norman B. Smith My route to church takes me on a muddy track through the new housing development. It used r be a path through the woods. Gaudily in the sun reflected plastic coverings over piles of lumber and insulation, unnatura!. gaudily and unseemly as the bleach-haired, rouge faced, spangle-dressed carnival wench. Mud. nun' the blood of wounded soil clung to my feet, stuck on as stubbornly as swarms of leaches. Gone the woods! Power equipment dociley awaited the work day morrow, resting there on haunches seemingly sur veying cuts, roads, ditches they had consumed ar.d fills, dirtpiles they had excreted. From beneath the ditch-tops issued periodic metallic pings, coir plaints of newly laid walerlines. " I paused long, trying unsuccessfully to translate a dialogue being carried on between the bobbing and swishing trunk of a lone sapling, mangled and rudely bent over because it had grown there in the way,- between it and thc dribbling of now useless underground water being diverted by a concrete drain tile. The two conversants faced each other across the length of a rock-walled ditch. Much in common had they, these two elements of thc wood- tree and spring both unwanted in the housing development. Bewildered and sympathetic, a bird remained to listen. when I turned and walked on.

These apartments, though, will have within tlior weatherstripped interiors thermostatic heat, ovens ' refrigerators so the food can be just right, soft beds and chairs, entertaining worry-dispeling tele vision sets, all sorts of really unnecessary but ex tremcly comfortable paraphernalia. And the forest doesn't offer that. It only offers to share its heat and cold, hunger and fulness, wetness and dryness with you. Sign up for one of those nice apartments soor if they aren't already taken; even so, you mijht get a good position on the waiting list. Don't feel badly about this.
