  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIA LS Food Service The University Center snack bar is to be complimented on its fine variety of foods for WCU students. After the initial problems of settling in a new location and ironing out how much to charge for soft drinks, the snack shop has provided students with a decent, clean atmosphere in which to enjoy foods. It is the only place directly on campus where you can get a hamburger and other hot sandwiches cooked right before your very eyes — not five hours or a day old and very cold The snack shop also provides more of a variety than it forme.-ly did in its old location and the new equipment provides improved facilities for preparing foods,, Such luxuries (and they are luxuries in Cullowhee) as French fried onion rings, freshly baked assorted pies, coffee cakes, and yes — even fresh donuts abound at the shop. A recent menu provided more variety of sandwiches than Cullowhee ha 5 ever known! Service is another important factor in the snack shop. True, the women behind the counter need to hustle just a little faster to fill all those orders that come in at one time. But at least these women sire civilized, friendly, and polite. We hope that the snack shop will continue to provide good food and good service and that it will increase its facilities and variety of foods to meet the needs of the WCU students. Summer Employmemt Every summer a tragic scene has become all too familiar in communities across the Nation, It's a picture of waste: Idle youth searching for something to do. For the past three summers, through the YOUTH OPPORTUNITY CAMPAIGN, we have witnessed the dynamics of America's democracy working to transform youthful idleness into youthful productivity. When school lets out this summer, more than two million of the 13.5 million youngsters 16 to 21 years old who will be looking for work won't find it without help. Even if we equal last year's national record of turning up some 1.1 million extra jobs for young people, the unemployment rate among youth will rise by 8 percent. That's because we've got an additional half-million youngsters looking for jobs this year. Clearly, the stakes in this massive summer search for employment are very high indeed ~ for youths and adults. For many of these youngsters, the children of deprivation, a job is no luxury. It's an absolute necessity. They have to earn enough money this summer to return to school in the fall. For many others, a job means the difference between launching a productive and rewarding career — or remaing idle, perhaps living on public assistance. For every single one of them, a job means exposure to the world of work and to the responsibilities associated with performing useful work and taking home a paycheck. This campaign — now entering its fourth sum Tier — demands the wholehearted support of employers, labor, civic groups, fraternal organizations, churches and schools in cooperation with all government levels. As the President has said, "The young men and women who want a chance to work and who are denied that chance cost this country more than it can afford." Let's invest in our youth in 1968.

Indies GREENVILLE — East Carolina University announced today the beginning of its instructional program on Roanoke Island in Dare County. As a starter, the university will offer this summer through its Division of Continuing Education (DC El courses in drama, music, art and community relations.

The other two courses are at the senior-graduate level and are open only to college graduates or students with senior standing. Dr. David J. MJddleton, DCE dean, said the Dare program "porvides an opportunity for all eligible individuals to attend university courses while in the Dare County area during the summer. We hope to help the residents of Eastern North Carolina with their plans for continuing and broadening their general education. This program is particularly designed for those who find it impossible to attend East Carolina University as a regular day student on the campus at Greenville." He added, ' 'We expect a substantial 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 newly-appointed Dare County director, William C. MDrri- sette, will offer this schedule of three quarter hour courses: June 17=28, "Contemporary Drama" (English 314Gb, senior-graduate); July 8-19, "Art Appreciation" (Art 217, undergraduate), July 22-Aug. 2, "Home-School-Community Relations" (senior-graduate) and "Music Appreciation" (Music 120, undergraduate).

The program will have headquarters on property given the ECU Foundation last fall by the people of Dare County.
