ber an estimated 900 have arrived at
? college to enroll for classes dur-
ing the fall quarter.
Lack of sufficient dormitory fa-
cilities on the campus, Dr. Messick
explained, was a major reason why

tones are now being planned, he
said.
In numbers the present frephraac

Shall hue it back to cancel half a line.
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it
?E. Fitzgerald
From The President
We are happy to welcome every one of
u new students.
You, of course, are here for different
reasons. Some were sent while others were
motivated by various objectives not the least
of which is social. 1 trust you will be with
us for four years but if you are, work must
begin immediately and continue throughout
your college career.
Too many students enter college with
the id a of coasting and then regretfully
lament their waywardness when notified
that they are no longer in good standing.
Now. why do I tell you this at the beginning?
It is to impress upon you the idea of devel-
oping a purpose for your life's work, and in
doing this make a schedule of your time that
will include a planned program to develop
yourselves socially, spiritually, aesthetically,
civically, physically and intellectually, in-
eluding preparation for a profession or vo-
cation.
Your college is interested in helping to
motivate you in the development of the
principles of honor, strength, service, quality
and preparation for earning a living. We
desire you to realize that you are one of a
cooperative community and that you will
give of your best to every worthwhile en-
deavor. This is your dressing room for the
drama that is to follow.
If you haven't already decided upon
ir life's work be sure to evaluate your
aptitudes and interests and then select your
curriculum accordingly. Get a vision of what
you want to be ten or fifteen years from now
and work toward it. There are vast possi-
bilities as elementary teachers, secondary
teachers, librarians, special education teach-
ers, social welfare workers, dietitians, home
demonstration, medical doctors, dentists, en-
gineers, scientists, architects, etc. However,
m the fieid of secondary teaching, social
studies. English and health and physical
education, positions are at times pretty dif-
ficult to find.
Finally, may I advise that you approach
your counselor often as well as your teach-
ers, the deans or anyone else whom you
should want to help you, as they will be
happy to assist you in any way possible. I,
too, shall be very happy to help you in any
way I can. But in parting, may I again ad-
that you alone can assure the results
that are necessary for success.
Fraternally,
J. D. Messick,
President
From The SGA President
Fellow Students:
The many "welcomes" you have re-
ceived cannot adequately express the true
feeling of East Carolina College. As the
months roll on, we hope you will come to
realize that these words of welcome reallv
represent the friendliness and fellowship on
our campus of which we are so proud.
By taking an active part in the Student
Government Association which is the key to
most college activities, you may receive
many benefits. Our college clubs, our enter-
tainment series, the annual, newspaper and
many others operate through the SGA to
the advantage of the student and college.
We feel sure that your love for the col-
lege will immeasurably grow during your
time here and make you proud to say, you
are from East Carolina College.
Sincerely yours,
Mitchell Saieed
SGA President
From The Registrar
Dear Student Body:
I wish to take this opportunity to wel-
come to our campus all new students, as well
as those who have returned for another
year's work.
I also wish to commend the entire stu-
dent body for tne cooperation and fine spirit
which was displayed during the very busy
days of registration. Especially do I want
to thank all upperclassmen who so gra-
ciously helped the new students complete
therir registration. I feel that this registra-
tion was the best ever, and its success was
due largely to your cooperation. If you have
any suggestions as to how we might im-
prove our registration period, I would be
most happy to talk to you about them.
If you run into difficulties with your
curriculum, please feel free to come into my
office for advice. I am always glad to help
you la any way that I can. However, it is
my itaeere wish that your problems and dif-
ficulties will be few and your life at East
Carolina College wifl be both enjoyable and
worthwhile.
SSt?erely yours,

Voices Opinion
Of First Days
by Marilyn Scott
Dear Mom.
I'm a Full-fledged freshman again.
That's the horrible part of going to
college after being a great big high
school senior jusl a few short months
ago. i certainly do feel small.
I've lost count of the times the
buildings up here have moved around
90 that my dormitory seems to be
in a different direction every time
I return from points far distant (or
even close by) on the campus.
You remember how the furniture
in my room was scattered from one
end to the other. We've rearranged
it five times to date and at present
the arrangement more closely re-
sembles the BCC Pirates' forward
wall about to crash into Elon's line
than anytldng else. It's all strung
out with a six-foot-plus chest hem-
ming in each end, two bedside tables
at guard, the beds ready in the tackle
positions and the desk holds my
typewriter at center. We have plenty
of floor space for the hackfield
(formed by our sihoes and the waste-
baskel at fullback.)
I just can't wait for football season
to start, though my blue and white
high ec lool football wardrobe will
have to be replaced by some purple
and gold duds so I'll be patriotically
costumed at the games.
The food's just wonderful and we're
so much hungrier for it after waiting
in line sevi ral hours. No, I'm just
kidding, I haven't had to wait over
an hour?yet.
I thought it was rather a difficult
task to figure out what I should take,
when, and under what professor, but
it was only after I had sweated over
my registration for two hours that
I discovered that you can get a
faculty advisor to help you fig-ure
out such minor details as what classes
you ? ?uld attend, when and where.
testing program so
Fully provided the college to
test our aptitude, our mentality and
oui personality was lots of fun. at
east foj those of us so morbidly
. as to get enjoyment from
hing up weird figures, symbols
letter- and arriving at brilliant
conclusions from the results.
T le upperclassmen already here on
campus certainly are hel'pful to us
freshmen. Why, one hoy even
offered to go along and lead me by
the hand to some distant building.
Wasn't that self-sacrificing of him
when he was no doubt getting some
much needed rest out in the middle
e campus?
All in all I'm sure I'm going to
like college life even if I do have to
get up at seven o'clock every morn-
ing if I want any breakfast.
I must close, but please forward
by the next mail some money, the
box of clothes I left behind acci-
dentally and my toothbrush.
Lovingly,
Your little daughter

Who's Who At East Carolina
by Emily Boyce
For this first edition of the "East
Carolinian" our choice of "Who's
Who" is a fellow whom we all know.
He i3 quite a familiar figure around
the campus and is said to practically
live in the basement of Austin Build-
i-ng. One person summed him up in
these terms, "That Billy Laughing-
house is smart, and he's a grand
guy, too
Billy is Greenville born and bred
and chose East Carolina College sim-
ply because "it's the greatest He
attended Greenville High School and
there became interested in student
government work and his major now,
social studies. Although Billy is a
social studies major and an English
minor keeps him busy, he has found
time during his three years in college
to develop quite a record in student
government work. He is also a mem-
ber of a number of campus organiza-
tions and takes an active interest in
each of them.
Active Worker
During Billy's freshman and soph-
omore years he served as a member
of the Day Students At Large. Tak-
ing quite an interest in the ROTC
program, he played with the drum
and bugle corps for three years and
enjoyed every minute of it (so he
says).
The Circle "K" Club is made up
of men who are considered to have
the qualities of leadership, scholar-
ship, and citizenship at East Caro-
lina. Billy lias been a member of the
Circle "K" for two years and has
helped the club put on a number of
campus activities. Our Greenville boy
Billy Laughinghouse
has been an active member of the
Phi Sigma Pi fraternity during his
sophomore, junior and now his senior
year. The fraternity is an honorary
educational fraternity exclusively for
young men preparing to enter the
teaching profession. Billy served as
corresponding secretary in his junior
year. Good moral and social qualities
are the basis for admittance into
the fraternity and Billy takes pride
in being a member.
Billy's entrance into Student Gov-
ernment work occurred during his
junior year. While a junior he filled
the position of first assistant treas-
urer on the Student Legislature. Now
in Billy's senior year he has taken
the job of treat er. This important
position includes such duties as tak-
ing Charge of all fees collected by
the Student Government Association,
,emg in charge of the Budget office,
serving as chairman of the budget
committee and having a seat OB the
extcutive council. Even with all the
important duties he fills, Billy doesn't
rngbi his work on his first k?ve,
hocial . tudies.
Hobby Economics
Billy's real hobby is the study of
economics. He takes all the courses
possible in that field and says b?
ikes every word of it. Billy's schwi-
ll doesn't leave him much time to
devote to sports, but he's on the
Front row at every football game.
Billy will graduate in May and
afttr that, who knows Uncle Sam
will probably call on Billy's talents
for a few years, but Billy says he
has to practice teach first. According
to Billy his practice teaching holds
no real fears for him. The idea of
being called Mr. Laughinghouse real-
ly doesn't appeal to him, but he says
he will certainly get used to it.
As many of us are. Billy is im-
pressed with the rapid growth of his
college. He says he can tell a great
deal of difference since his freshman
vear and this year. Billy is prou 1
of the changes and improvements
which have been made in his school
since he's even been here. The satis-
faction of doing well at East Caro-
lina is an achievement to be proud of.
And Billy Laughinghouse, you have
done well during your years here and
we are proud of you. Best of luck
during your senior year.
Cadet Relates Summer ROTC Camp Experiences
Alumni President's
Message To Members
Time for work is here, not only
for members of the student body of
East Carolina college, but for grad-
uates who are active members of an
alumni chapter or members at large
of the General Alumni association.
One phase of alumni work will
consist of keeping James W. Butler,
our alumni secretary, informed of all
chapter activities that will be con-
veyed to other chapters through the
"East Carolinian Whether you are
a member of a chapter or not keep
the alumni office informed of your
activities and those of any other
graduate you know. A better informed
association will be a more active
one.
Getting your chapter meetings go-
ing i a major event on the local
level for your chapter. But the next
major event for the General associa-
tion is Homecoming day scheduled
for October 10. A big program has
been arranged and a big time awaits
those who will be here.
And don't forget those dues after
your fall membership drives.
Looking ahaad to seeing all of you
on Homecoming day and wishing for
you a successful alumni year,
James L. Whitfield

The loud shriek of a whistle at 4
o'clock started the morning off for
approximately 100 East Carolina Air
Force Reserve Officers Training
Corps cadets who were enrolled at
one of three summer encampments
for one month during the summer.
At the dreaded sound of the whis-
tle, all the cadets would by some
sought out force manage to roll over
in their sunk-in bunks and pry their
eyelids open. A few moments of just
staring into space usually followed,
and then everyone finally managed
to arise and begin the day's head-
aches.
Rushing to the latrine, everyone
washed the sleep from their still
weary eyes and tried to say "good
morning" to a few of their friends.
Then came the time to make beds,
wash and dust woodwork, scrub
floors, polish shoes, line up the cloth-
ing in the closets, and other small
technicalities.
If the cadet wa.s lucky, he had all
the little necessities completed by
4:50 a.m. and was dressed and ready
to fall in for the first formation.
Most of the cadets felt more like
falling out than in, for at 4:50 in
the morning it was still dark, believe
it or not.
Such early hours as the ones being
described above were unheard of at
Tyndall and Brookley Air Force
Bases, but the boys who survived
Moody Air Force Base in the heart
of Okefenokee Swamp near Valdosta,
Ga know all about marching in the
dark and not being able to see the
men on the end of a line. There were
days when all the cadets of a certain
group would play Softball, swim, or
engage in a volley ball game at the
wee hours of the morning. Some of
the future officers were complaining
by Tommie Lupton
about their needing to be lights up,
but their gripes were unheard.
All the aforementioned work and
exercise was done on an empty stom-
ach, for chow was not until about
6:45 and as late as 7:30 for some
of the unfortunate souls. When the
cadets finally reached the mess hall,
there was always food aplenty, and
any cadet who dined at camp can
truthfully tell anyone about the
quantity of food consumed by every-
one.
Excluding having to stand in line
in the 90-plus temperature in the
mess hall and the swarms of gnats
flying all over the place, the food
was good on the whole. However,
there were times when one would
wonder how perfectly good food could
be cooked to taste so terrible. But
everyone lived, and many cadets gain-
ed weight.
There was quite a bit of work
done at the various encampments.
All the rooms in the barracks were
inspected one, and sometimes two
or three times daily, and at mail
call nearly everyone received a slip
telling how many demerits were giv-
en for the inspection.
None of the cadets were free of
demerits, for the technical officers
did not wish for anyone to feel
slighted. Therefore, demerits were
given to everyone, though there were
some who received them in greater
quantity.
For those unfortunate souls who
received the quantity, there were
tours to be marched off on Saturday
afternoon. Boys walking tours at
Moody had to walk 20 minutes for
each demerit over ten. The first
weekend there were about 100 cadets
of the 231 in camp assembled on the
drill field walking off demerits under
Honduras Exchange Student
Tells Impressions Of Campus
by Emily Boyce
"Why you have everything in such
abundance here in America
This was one of the first things
that impressed Leonor E. Padilla, the
foreign exchange student on campus
for this year. Leonor is from La
Lima, Honduras, Central America,
A safety sign read?"School?Don't

offered scholarship through the Insti-
tute of International Education. This
is her first trip to the United States.
Leonor was impressed with the
kindness of the people here. "Every-
one is so friendly and polite . .
She also likes our king size cigar-
ettes.
Our exchange student is 22 years
old and holds a teacher's certificate.
She has been teaching grades one,
two and three for the past two years
for the United Fruit Company in
Honduras. Leonor arrived in Charles-
ton by boat last Friday and Mrs.
Marguerite Perry and James Fleming,
of the foreign language department,
met her in Wilson Friday evening.
Miss Padilla plans a full schedule
for this year. Learning our educa-
tional procedures will be one of the
main objectives for her. Leonor wants
to become familiar with everything
possible so she can go back and con-
tribute her knowledge to the educa-
tional system of her country. English,
education psychology, music, typing,
history and swimming are just a few
of the courses Leonor wants to take.
and comes to us under the college She considers music her real hobby,
and since she plays by ear, her musi-
cal education will be extremely in-
teresting to her.
Leonor will help us a great deal
this year, for she plans to assist in
Spanish conversation in the classroom.
According to Mr. Fleming and Mrs.
Perry she will also offer valuable aid"
in English and Spanish word study.
One of Miss Padilla's main interests
is the English language. Leonor
studied English with a determina-
tion to be admired and she speaks it
extremely well.
All of East Carolina College wel-
comes you, Leonor E. Pailla; we know
we will like you as much a? you
like our country and campus. Please
don't hesitate to call on any one of
us at anytime for anything! Glad to
have you with us I
the commands of the Officer of the
Day.
Demerits were sometimes given
out for doing what you were sup-
posed to be doing, according to some
of the cadets. All the boys will r xdi-
ly agree that life at summer camp
was strictly cadet in every respect.
Classroom sessions of the various
phases of the work of the Air Force
were attended from the hours of
0800 through 1700, with an hour off
for show and an hour for mail call
and "free time That "free time"
was a joke with all the beya for
the first couple of weeks.
At "free time" such chores as
policing the grounds, scrubbing down
the latrine, washing windows, and
cleaning the ventilators in the hall
were done. Some of the barracks
were even restricted at night, and
all had to stay close to do various
duties.
After hours were usually spent in
the sack, at the day room, or at the
Officers' Club. Girls at East Carolina
think they have it bad. Well, get
these restrictions: (1) Lights were
out every night at 9 o'clock. (2) Bed
check was held at 10:30 every eve-
ning, and the officers meant for the
cadets to be in bed. (3) If any cadet
went off the base at night, he had
to be signed in before 10 o'clock.
(Yes, everyone had to sign in and
out every time they went anywhere,
or just about.)
The one bright spot about the
camp was the weekends. If there was
no duty for a cadet, he could leave
the base at noon on Saturday and
stay off post until 10 p.m. Sunday
evening. Of course, though, the first
weekend had to be spent on the base,
as did every evening the first week
of the camp.
Camp was not really all work and
no play, for after 1800 hours (6 p.m.)
there was intrabarracks competition
in softball, swimming, basketball,
volleyball and tennis. A cadet news-
paper and annual were published at
the Moody AFB camp. The day room
had a pool table and a shuffle board,
which the cadets were welcomed to
use, and the boys had certain Offi-
cers' Club privileges.
Each cadet had an opportunity to
show his leadership ability as an
officer, for the cadet officers were
changed rather frequently. East Caro-
lina can boast several of the cadet
colonels during the period. "
On the final day of camp at the
"big" review there were some of the
East Carolina cadets who were given
their commissions as second lieuten-
ants. These boys were those who only
needed to complce their summer
encampment period.
The final days of camp saw every-
one getting ready to leave for home.
Most of the cadets agreed that the
camp was profitable in gaining ex-
perience of what the military life
will hold in store for them and in
making many new acquaintances from
all sections of the country.
Camp was fun.
(Editor's note The writer of this
story attended camp at Moody, but
the two other programs were very
similar.)

TIMELY TOPICS
by Bob HiUdrup
It often seems to us that college students
might substitute the start of the fall term
each year for New Year's as a time to make
resolutions.
In a way perhaps they do?at least so
it sounds at East Carolina when evervone
returns to the campus in the fall vowing
that the mistakes they made last vear with
regard to their studies will happen no more.
The only trouble is that these things
never last.
WThy is it that the rosy ambition of
September fades to bitter later in the year?
Somewhere, somehow, something must go
wrong. And what happens to those students
that so earnestly made those promises?
Some adopt the attitude of the Brooklvn
Dodgers (wait'll next year?we'll moider
demI) and some fall into a class loosely de-
fined as pseudo-intellectuals
Of the two classifications the latter
seems to us to be the more dangerous to the
welfare of the student. At least it can be said
that the former philosophy has some small
promise but the latter is a pitfall that can

two-a-day practices in preparation
for their opening football game Sat-
urday night, September 19, against
Wilson Teachers college of Washing-
ton, D. C. here.
A squad of 55, including 26 letter-
men and 21 frosh, is working out as
the Buccaneers look toward a nine-
game- grid slate. Expert throughout
the state have tabbed the Bucs as
pre-aeason favorites to cop the North
State conference crown.
Despite the wealth of material on
hand for the coming season, Coach
Boone faces the job of replacing 14
departed lettermen. Key men gone
cherished Bohunk Trophy, from ast year's squad which posted
a 6-2-2 record plus a 13-6 defeat at
the hands of Clarion State Teachers
college in the Lions bowl are Quar-

Uwight Shoe. Dick Cherry. All-con-
? ference quarterback last year as a
freshman, will handle the regular post
as field general while Bobby Hodges,
Al Habit, J. D. Bradford and Larry
Rhodes lend assistance at the end
positions.
One problem which Boone has in
common with other coaches is how
to handle the switchback to single
platoon football. In an interview with
a reporter the Pirates' mentor said,
"Actually, the one-platoon rule will
require no drastic changeover for us.
La-t year we played our best boys
and that meant some of them saw
action both ways. Most of the grad-
uates were boys who played offense
Although the starting line-up has
not definitely been set the locals
probably will open with either Louis
Hallow or Gaither Cline, a letterman,
at center. Guards will come from
David Lee, James Faircloth, George
Tucker and Donald Burton. Willie
Holland leads the tackles and ig fol-
lowed by Johnny Brown, Thurston
Callahan and Bobby Thomas.
In the backfield the Bucs have
Boyd Webb to fill in for Dick Cherry
at quarterback, Paul Gay, Toppy
Hayes, Emo Boado and Jack Britt
are making the strongest bids for
the halfback posts. Claude King, last
year's regular on offense, is still
working from the fullback post. Ted-
dy Barnes, Carlton Mathews and
John Daughtry all will be pushing
King for the starting assignment.
Nine-Game Slate

of the Teachers' strength but local
scuttlebutt has already established
the Rues as one to two touchdown
favorites.
The evening of September 26 will
find the Pirates as hosts to the con-
ference champions Lenoir Rhyne's
Bears. In last year's clash the Bears,
who posted an undefeated regular
season record, edged out the Pirates
by 7-6. Graduation hit the champs
hard avid all signs point to a bitter
battle when the two squads collide.
Following the Lenoir Rhyne con-
test the locals will engage Catawba
at Salisbury, Elon here, Western Car-
olina at Cullowhee, Guilford and
Appalachian on the local field and
then journey to Florida for two clos-
ing contests with Tampa university
and Stetson university.
Catawba college promises to offer
a real threat to the Pirates' bid for
Conference honors. Clyde Diggers,
line coach at East Carolina last year,
hag moved to Salisbury and is well
into his rogram of building a power-
house for the Indians.
October 10, the date of the Elon
game, is slated as Homecoming for
the Bucs. Last year an underdog
shipload of Pirates came from behind
to scuttle Elon's Homecoming fes-
tivities by a 25-9 count.
In November the Pirates will desert
North Carolina for Florida to play
their last two contests. On November
7 Tampa university, a newcomer to
Buccaneer athletic cards, will be host
to the charges of Coach Boone. The
14th of November will find East
Carolina's squad in DeLand, Fla
where they will meet Stetson uni-
versity's Hatters.
In last year's Stetson-East Carolina
contest, the first between the two
schools the .Pirates gained a 19-19
tie when halfback Paul Gay dashed
88 vards for a touchdown with less
e
than four minutes remaining in the
game.

Bucs Preparing
To Improve Upon
Last Year's Mark
Although the East Carolina Pirate?
were not undefeated in last year's
gridiron play, the Bucs are going to
have to pour on the steam to better
the 152 regular season record of
6-2-2.
Last year's squad, co-captained by
seniors Doc Smith and Dwight Shoe,
finished in a tie for second in the
North State Conference.
Seven of the schools that appeared
on the Pirates schedule last year will
be played again. They are: Lenoir
Rhyne, Catawba, Stetson, Elon, West-
ern Carolina, Appalachian and Guil-
ford. Teams which will not be played
this year include Norfolk Navy. New-

West Virginia Tech.
