Aviation Cadet
Selection Team
On Campus In May
An Aviation Cadet Selection team
will visit East Carolina college May
12 to give information about the
Aviation Cadet Training program.
They will be located in the Soda shop
lobby from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
This team will be here to assist all
interested students in accomplishing
an application for pilot or aerial
observer training providing they can
qualify.
Making an application for this
training does not mean the individual
is enlisting in the Air Force but only
taking the preliminary steps to de-
termine whether or not he is quali-
fied to continue with the type of
training that he may choose.
The applicant chooses a date to
report to an Aircrew Classification
Testing unit for thorough mental
and physical testing. Transportation
to and from this unit, from the Air
Force recruiting station nearest the
applicant's home, is paid by the
Government.
To be qualified for this training,
an applicant must be between the
ages of 19 and 26 years of age,
completed at least 60 semester or 90
quarter hours of college work and
be able to successfully pass thi phy-
sical and mental standards as pre-
scribed by the Air Force.
Twenty scholarships valued at $100
ach are to be awarded by Erst
Carolina college to students who
will enter as freshmen for the school
?ear 1953-1954, Dr. Clinton R.
Pr wett, chairman of the college
cholarship committee, ha3 announced.
"We are most desirous of giving
:his help to outstanding toys and
girls who would like to obtain a
college education but who need
financial assistance and encourage-
ment Dr. Prewett stated recently.
"We plan to award these scholarships
each year he said, "and hope that
they will prove to be a valuable
factor in teacher training
Scholarships will be awarded by
East Carolina on the bases of need
for financial assistance to go to
college, total high ischool record,
promise as a college student, and
citizenship qualities, according to
Dr. Prewitt.
The twenty scholarships to be
awarded for 1953-1954 will be divided
among the various curricula offered
at East Carolina approximately as
follows: music 4; elementary ed-
ucation, 4; business, 2; industrial
art, 1; science, 2; foreign languages,
1; mathematics, 1; social studies,
1; library science, 1; Snghsh, 2'y
and home economics, 1.
Any student who wishes to apply
for a scholarship, Dr. .Prewett has
announced should obtain an ap-
plication from him, record the
proper information, and return it to
him before May 31, 1963. Applicants
will be notified of the decision
of the Scholarship committee dur-
ing the month of June.

Tomorrow night the Junior-Senior
da-nee is on schedule, and we hope
that the dance is a real success. The
music will be furnished by a group
from North Carolina State college.
All aspects of the dance may not be
as elaborate as past such affairs, for
the classes found themselves operat-
ing with United funds this year.
Many students missed a real treat
Monday night when they did not at-
tend the Kiwanis follies. The enter-
tainment was good and the proceeds
of the program went to a most wor-
thy cause?that of helping under-
privileged children in this area.
Greenville Backs Athletic Program
To be able to schedule better teams in foot-
ball, East Carolina college needs to enlarge its
football stadium. To be able to import material
good enough to compete with these better teams,
East Carolina needs more and better scholar-
ships. We feel confident that we will have both
in the near future.
Back only a few years ago the college needed
a football stadium, for all games at that time
were being played at Guy Smith stadium, a base-
ball field in Greenville. Through the efforts of
many of Greenville's leading citizens, money was
raised to erect a stadium on this campus. At that
time the stadium was large enough, but the col-
lege has grown and with it our athletic program.
This same group of spirited citizens has
watched the college grow through the years, and
they have now decided that we need a few more
seats added to our present field. To raise the
funds necessary for the expansion in the college's
athletic program, these same citizens have orga-
nized a Pirates club and are at the present time
solociting 1,000 charter members.
The officers and directors of the newly
formed club feel sure that come next fall East
Carolina will have its extra seats at the stadium.
There will be money to carry on scholarships.
At a kickoff breakfast this week Pirates club
President E. E. Rawl Sr. told a committee of 40
men just how to get the members of the organi-
zation. Every detail has been worked out to such
a degree that we do not see how the club cannot
prove to be a success.
East Carolina college means big business to
Jirms in Greenville. We spend over a million dol-
lars a year in this city, not counting the faculty bal1
who live here year round. The civic leaders in the
city realize this, and in turn they are willing to
back us in our growth.
Cost for charter membership in this official
organization of the college athletic department
is $15, and this fee includes reserved seats to the
five 1953 home football games. The club is not a
charity organization, for each member will re-
ceive his money's worth.
When a group of citizens starts a drive like
the one now on, we know that they are interested
in the college. Firms which have become members
of the Pirates club will be displaying wall cards
or stickers on their automobiles. We feel that it
would be a good gesture for the students on cam-
pus to drop by these firms and express their
appreciation for the backing being given to the
college. We know that these people are behind
us. In turn let us tell them what it means to us!
In our editorial column this week
you will find considerable comment
on the -newly-formed Pirates club,
which is composed of business men
in and around Greenville who are
interested in the East Carolina ath-
letic program. We recommend that
you read it.
A little paint can really help the
looks of a place. We guess you have
noticed the fresh parnt in the hall-
way leading to the soda shop.

TIMELY TOPICS
By Bob Hilldrup
You know, a few words of thanks
can go a long way with a person.
We have recently received several
letters from persons or groups on
campus expressing their apprecia-
tion for some service rendered them.
We post every one of them on our
office bulletin board for our staff
members to read.
Hal "Sig" Haire
no, don't guess so
Campus Activities
Sig is quite active in the extra
curricular activities on campus. Some
of these have been: a member of the
YDC for four years (Executive com-
mittee junior year; president of club
senior year); a member of the Inter-
national Relations club for four years;
chairman of the invitation committee
senior year; vice president of men's
day students club as a freshman; a
member of the Circle K senior year;
and "Who's Who Among Students In
American Colleges and Universities
This honor of being chosen for "Who's
Who" was quite a surprise to Sig.
To quote him, "It was a complete
shock Of all his honors, he is proud-
est of this.
In April of '52 he attended a state
convention of the IRC in Asheville for
the purpose of discussing how to
carry out international relations in
school and how to cope with the pre-
sent international relations problems.
Also he attended the state Democratic
convention in Raleigh and the district
rally in Robersonville. At most of the

put up posters, distributed Stevenson

might be interested, East Carolina is
the only college in the eastern part of
the country that we know of that

tions.
Deer hunting, water skiing at
White Lake and fishing are the fav-

primary place in his list of "likes
we asked him if he had done any
lately. He said, "Well, yes, I have.

college went down to the river a few
days ago with the intentions of fish-

didn't seem to be biting. Our effort
were fruitless and we might as well
have been fishrng in Wright circle
One question that we almost always
ask the Who's Who is "Why did you
decide to come to East Carolina0"
This week is no exception. The answer
was: "One day while I was in high
school, I brought a friend back to
the college from the week end. Right
then I was impressed with the beauty
of the campus. This, along with the bit
of influence that the boys from home
gave me, heLped to decide. It was
not until our class attended Senior

ings about leaving us, "It's really

With the school year rapidly drawing to
a close, it appears that big things are coming
for us all. The 1953-54 SGA administration
has accomplished miracles since its institution
just a few weeks ago. With the amazing co-
operation of the faculty jmd administration
the SGA has been able to really step out in
the cause of East Carolina progress.
Among those things already partially or
completely fullfilled are: the granting of more
privileges to women dorm students, the in- ;
stallation of a telephone in the post office :
I bby and the larger voice given the students
with regard to next year's Entertainment series.
The SGA has also begun an investigal
into the salaries of self-help students here. It
is hoped that something can soon be done (
cerning the low rate that is currently
paid. As we understand it the SGA will
bring up the topic of expenditures and r
in the Book store and the "Y" shop. Mr. L.
Bray is cooperating with the SGA on the
latter two issues.
Next year should see the college grow and
enlarge as it never has before. Whereas formerly
we have been going complacently along,
perating efficiently as a school with 1.000
dents should, we now must realize that pr
in the many ways that we need it, can be realized
only with hard work, cooperation and com-
promise. East Carolina might well be identi
with a youngster going through the period i f
adolescence, formerly well rounded but at
present having outgrown everything
potential.
The way is open for East Carolina to step
from the status of an efficient "cow college"
to a full fledged, complete educational institution.
The chances for growth and progress are
numerous to mention but these steps of prog-
ress will not be accomplished without gr
ing pains and it is possible for our school
become the personification of its true worth
without complete cooperation on the part of
the student body.
We therefore urge that the students of
East Carolina take an active part in the activities
of the school. If you have a gripe, a c
pliment, take it to YOUR GA. We stud
have elected these represenatives and it is
our job to see that they correctly and duti-
fully express our desires. In this manner, and
with the excellent cooperation the faculty and
administration has shown of late, we can full-
fill our desires for a better and more pro,
sive East Carolina.

Couple Of The Week
At the bt ginning of the year, many
students noticed the new drummer
in the EOC band, for he possessed
a style that was quite different from
anything ECC had ever seen, and
the students liked it. This nw drum-
mer, as probably some of you know,
is Gene Ward from Edenton, N.C
who is a business major, not a music
major.
Gene has been going with Julia
Ward, from Winston-Salem, who hap-
pens to be a music major, since Oc-
tober of last year.
Julia and Gene live about 250 i. iles
apart, but that isn't going to stop
them from seeing each other this
summer. "Besides Julia said, "does-
n't absence make the heart grow

Ola S. Ross, assistant
registrar of the college.
Miss Ro-s has been with the college
in the registrar's office since the be-
ginning of the school year in 1910
and plans to retire in June of this
year. Coming here one year after the
college was organized, she has served
under all four presidents anu all six
registrars of the college.
After 43 years of faithful service
to the college, all Miss Ross has to
say is, "It has been a privilege and
a pleasure. I have found working
conditions very pleasant here
When Miss Ross came here from
Beaufort in 1910, there were only
three buildings: Austin, Wilson hall
and one section of the present dining
halls. The enrollment for that year
was 227, and Miss Ross comments: "I
have watched the college grow from
an enrollment of about 200 to over
2,000. I have worked with the smaller
enrollment longer and I prefer it
not to get too big as there is a dan-
ger of losing the personal touch
Sees College Grow
The graduating class since she has
been here has grown from fewer than
a dozen in 1911 to over 300 of last
year. "I am sure that I have sent
more than 10,000 records of students
to the State department she com-
mented.
Miss Ross' position has given her
a lot of personal contact with stu-
dents. She is always wil'ing to help
students with problems i.nd does it
in a pleasant manner. She believes
that the most interesting part of her
From 1937 to 1943 Miss Ross served
as chairman of the Entertainment
committee. During that period such
entertainments as Martinelli, Gladys
Swarthout, Rise Stevens, Mrs. Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt and the National
Symphony orchestra were brought to
the college.
Miss Ross, who has recently built
a home on Eastern street, has another
link with the college. She rents rooms
to college ' oys. "Having college boys
as roomi is in my home is a great
help to me in 'keeping my youth so
of course I shall hope to continue that
practice she 'says.
Refuses Party
Wednesday night of last week the
faculty planned to have a surprise
dinner in honor of Miss Ross. How-
ever, w -d about the matter reached
her, and she would not consent to
have the dinner in her honor.
Of course her position was not all
work and no play. During her earlier
years here she took time off oc-
caisionally for travel and "to see

POT POURK.I

by T. Parker Maddrey
Our most unforgettable character
is Miss Ola Ross, assistant registrar
of the college. Never have we met
such an outstanding personality on
this campus as she. She is not in
the least an egoist nor an egotist,
but a modest woman with a delight-
fully pleasing air.
She is so modest that we were
unable to get her complete story
from her. Therefore, we were aided
by Mrs. Agnes Barrett and Dr. Orval
Phillips in compiling her feature for
this week.
Her student assistants say tha.
they will miss her pleasantness and
her great efficiency. "The office
won't know what to do without her
comments one girl. "We have never
heard her say an unkind word or
have we seen her lose her temper
another states.
In closing, we would like to extend
our best wishes to this mild-man-
nered, gentile, soft-spoken lady who
has given East Carolina college 43
years of service.
We have found a definition for the
coined phrase "shooting the bull
From the "Sweet Briar News" of
Sweet Briar college, Sweet Briar, Va.
(they seemed to like the name) we
quote:
"Frosh: 'What do you mean by
slinging (or shooting) the bull?'
"Soph: 'To sling (or shoot) the
?bull is to say little in a great many
words so as to prevent the profes-
sora from realizing that you are say-
ing nothing "
Mr. Webster couldn't have done
better on that one.
From the earliest times the first of May
has been a time for out-of-door festivities. There
has been considerable controversy about the
derivation of the name cf this month. Perhaps
the weight of opinion rests with the theory
that the month was named for Maia, the Roman
goddess of spring; but some scholars hold that
May is but a shortened form of Majorca and
that the month was so called because it was
sacred to the older men, as June was aacred to
young men or juniores. Thte flower of
month is the hawthorn; its special gem, the
emerald.
Our May day customs started in medieval
England and when May comes it is time to
sing lustily:
Sumer is icumen in
Llude sing cuccu
Growth seed, and bloweth mead
and springth the wude nu?
Sing cuccu!
(The Cuckoo Song, Anon, circa 1250)
Was there ever a May day when nobodv
quoted this:
"You must wake and call me ealy, call me early,
Mother dear;
Tomorrow 'ill be the happiest time of the glad
new year?
Of all the the glad new year, Mother, the mad-
dest, merriest day;
For I'm to be Queen o' the May,
Mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May
(Tennyson, "The May Queen")
Along about this time, too, we recall the
sad old English ballard of Barbara Allen with
the obvious moral tacked on to the end. Probably
in her early days she was once Queen of
the May?
This week the students here had
the pleasure of meeting Johnny Mor-
ris Jr. in person. While he was here
he really got in the college spirit
He joined a group of girls in a card
game in the "Y" shop and took pic-
tures with several students. He was
kept busy by signing autographs
and giving his famous "Call for

Johnny is public relations man for
Philip Morris and company and, with
his midget body and invincible smile,
captures friend a and audiences readi-
ly.
Johnny speaks highly of East Car-
olina and says, "I have had a lot of
fun being here He can rest assured
that we had fun, too.

An incident that caused a bit of
activity occurred during the recent
Wake Forest match. With the Pirates
leading 4-2, Coach Porter forfeited
Amos Stroud's match and later dis-
persed him from the team. Reason:
Porter accused Stroud of foot faults.
Our sentiments on the matter: Foot
faults seem like hazy reasons for
dispelling a member from the squad,
but from first hand reports we
understand that differences of opin-
ion prevailed between player and

Led by the blazing bat of Maj-

with four for four the East Caro-
lina Pirates belted the High .Point
Phanthers into submission 17-6, here
Wednesday afternoon.
The Bucs got off to a quick start
with eight runs in the bottom of
the first after the Panthers had
tallied twice in the top half of the
inning. The contest was practically
a carbon copy of a previous 22-2
massacre by the Pirates on the
local field.
Behind Hooper, who included a trip-
le in his collection of hits, were Pit-
cher Teddy Barnes with a homer,
single and double in live at bats,
and Gaither Cline with three two-
baggers in five attempts. Cecii Heath
and Paul Jones had two for four,
Jones posessing a triple and a
double.
Spence Smith carried the load for
High Point with a double and two

"Tee" for golf and "T" for tops
is a fitting statement concerning
East Carolina's golfers. Their status,
contrastingly enough, is aloft the
conference struggle for supremacy
on the fairways. Pocketing five wins
without a blemish, the golfing Pirates
have practically sewed the lace on
the championship.

one of the winningest ;n East Caro-
lina's driving and potting history.
Our congratulations to an excellent
golf squad.

Guilford Here Today
After playing host to the Guilford
Quakers this afternoon, the East
Carolina Pirates finish up their 1953
baseball season within the next two
weeks.
The Quakers, with whom the Bucs
have split a pair of games, return
to ECC next Wednesday to end their
series.
May 8 and 9 the Bucs travel to
Elon to seek revenge for their only
two loop setbacks. The Christians
have been victorious twice over the
Boone-men, 8-2 and 4-0.
Winding up the campaign, the
Pirates meet arch-rival Atlantic
Christian in Greenville on May 13.
This will be the final contest in the
Bohunk Trophy series.
Jim: I love to go down on the East
Side and see the house where I
was born, Joe. They put up a
plaque over the door, and you
should see the crowds passing
by it every day.
Joe: What does the plaque say?
Jim: For rent!
