Who's Who Among Student At East Carolina
Phi Sigma Pi President Says Air Force Next
Member
Teachers College Division Columbia Scholastic Press
First Place Rating, CSPA Convention, March, 1954
Welcome, New students
Every year the same welcome mat type of
editorial gets knocked out for the freshmen and
transfer students. The first edition of the paper
is often dedicated to the new students. The fact
that this is always done doesn't make our greet-
ing this year any less cordial or sincere.
Alter almost two weeks of school, you fresh-
men are now toward the end of a crucial adjust-
ment period. In a little while you won't be pointed
out as "freshmen We hope you already feel as
much a part of East Carolina College as you
really arc. A note from we who have been here
Longer: You're really more important than we
are for your years of service to the school are
ahead while ours are nearing completion.
A sage has said. "I will prepare myself and
my time will come In college we learn ideas,
grasp ideals and enter into associations with
peoples of various creeds and nationalities We
meet problems and learn to face them. The first
weeks as new students are experiences through
which everyone learns much that will help them
throughout life.
The bumper crop of new students creates
no real problem. The "East Carolinian takes this
opportunity to welcome you and wish you luck.
Another new year begins and every
one is about to get adjusted to the
changes and feel ready to get down
to business. The staff of the "East
Carolinian" is enthusiastic about this
first issue and our readers may rest
a soared that we will continue to be
enthusiastic- about each is?ue through-
out the whole year.
Since both publications, the news-
paper and the annual, 'have women
editor's there is a challenge to meet.
We have to prove that this isn't
exclusively a "man's world
What Next In The East?
Even before, but especially since the Korean
truce was signed a little over a year ago, the
Communists have constantly followed policies of
unfriendly attitude toward the U.S. and her al-
lies, mainly to see what it will take to provoke
them into war.
It seems the latest policy is to shoot down
planes. In the last week of July, a British plane
v. as shot down off the Hainan Islands, killing ten
people of which three were American. The latest
incident took place September 4, when the U. S.
Navy patrol plane Neptune was shot down over
the Sea of Japan by two MIGs. One crew member
lost his life in this unprovoked attack.
Up until recently the U.S. has only asked
for apologies, and reimbursement for the lives
aid propertv that have been lost. After the
shooting down of the British airliner, the Com-
munists attacked a flight of Navy aircraft that
were searching for survivors. To their surprise,
shots came back! Two Red LA-7 fighter planes
were shot down in which a Tar Heel took part.
These particular Communist planes were out of
Red China.
Red China charged that it was an attack
provoked by the U. S. and that the American
planes violated Chinese sovereignty. President
Eisenhower denied the charges at a news confer-
ence on July 28. He said that in the future the
U. S. will defend her rights. If this is to be true,
what will be done about the incident of Septem-
ber 4?
The Reds apologized to England for shooting
down her plane. Will they do the same to the
U.S.? In the past they have adopted a completely
different attitude. If they do apologize, which is
doubtful, will they shoot another one down next
month, next week or tomorrow?
Although facing the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization, and the fact that Americans will
shoot back now, what other aggressive policies
will the Communists pursue?
Will Formosa be the next place? Formosa is
not protected by the SEATO, but the 7th Fleet
has orders to protect it and also the lesser islands.
On Quemoy, which is a lesser island, two Ameri-
can observers have already lost their lives. Que-
moy is 120 miles across the Formosa straits.
Amoy, an island dominated by the Reds, is
only seven miles away in which a Red build-up
has been taking place. On September 7th, the
Nationalist Chinese attacked this island to stop
this build-up. Will the Reds try to take Formosa
now? Will they run over the 7th Fleet in order
to do so?
If this happens it will most surely mean war.
We stayed out of the Indochina war. Let's hope
we can stay out of Formosa, but be ready to de-
fend it if the time comes. BRH.
Campus Improvements
East Carolina College is rapidly improving.
As one moves about the campus he is sure to
notice the many improvements. One of the most
readily noticed is the new Student Union which
is located in the basement of Wright building.
The Student Union consists of the soda shop, TV
lounge, ping pong room, and the book store. The
lounge is very spacious and is modernly arranged.
Students are able to gather here whether it be
with a gang or with their date for a most en-
joyable time. Another noticeable characteristic
is that it is soundproof.
The new library certainly deserves men-
tion. Although it was in use during the summer
many students have not had the pleasure of
using it. Aisde from the material changes one is
sure to notice the quietness that is now observed
in the library.
Throughout the various dormitories and
classroom buildings new water fountains have
been installed.
The William B. Umstead dormitory is now
under construction. This boy's dormitory will be
located on tenth street.
All in all the students, faculty and per-
sonel of East Carolina have much to be happy
about. J S.
The t ditor of a Pennsylvania college
newspaper, in speaking to a group of
his fellow would-ibe journalists last,
Spring at the ASCP Convention at
Columbia University, said that an edi-
toii:l can be of four types: praise,
gripe, on special occasions, or a fac-
tual review followed by an opinion.
In writing the editorials for the "East
Carolinian the Editorial Board will
probably conform to this outline.
Let it be said that if we are ever
wrong in our stand, we will retract
when we're proven wrong. We do feel
that it is our job to take a stand on
major issues and intend to do just
that. No personal offense will be tak-
en on our part however if the reader
who disagrees with us will let us know
how he feels. i
While we are on the subject of
reader opinion, we will mention that
letters to the editor are welcomed
and will be printed as long and as
soon as space permits if they are
signed by their writers. Lf you want
to write a letter to the editor without
having your name appear in the
paper, that will be just as acceptable
if the editor knows who wrote the
letter.

Wedding bells rung for quite a few
East Carolina graduates and students
during the summer. To mention a few,
Kay Johnston, a member of our staff
for the last two years, became Mrs.
Gene Spruill and transferred to ACC
so she could be with her husband.
Marietta and Major Hooper were
married in Elizabeth City on Sep-
tember 5. Both graduated last Spring
and Major is now in the Air Force.
Wade Cooper and Mary Sue Burch
became Mr. and Mrs. Cooper on Sep-
tember 5 also.
The draft caught up with several
of our students and scared several
more into enlisting. Norman Lee Ed-
gerton of Kenly, isn't back because of
the draft. Jim Fish, who was a rising
junior and active in quite a few extra-
curricular activities, didn't wait for
the draft to catch him. Algie Fair-

Dear Fellow Students:
As college reopens, we are faced
with two very definite problems?one
being the traffic situation on our
campus. I feel that the student body
has been more than co-operative in
k epng on-campus parking to a min-
imu n. This has helped a great deal,
am I hope will continue. I wish to
ask those of you who live on campus
to drive as little as possible. Keeping
your cars parked at, or near your
dorms, allows less congestion for
those who must commute. Those of
you living in town who must drive
to the campus can help I y parking
on the adjoining streets.
The second problem is that of care
of our new Student Union. We are
proud that East Carolina College may
boast one of North Carolina's finest!
Plans for future expansions and ad-
ditions depend upon our actions. We
remember you have a newly acquired
independence and new responsibilities
in a new environment which you must
learn to use and carry successfully.
You will discover that there are many
organized activities on the campus.
Choose carefully those in which you
are most interested and give the
'best that you have to them. Through
participation in these activities you
will discover capacities in yourself of
which you have been unaware.
Successful college work is depen-
dent on clear thinking, a sense of
responsibility, self control and hard

Surprising as it sounds, a very large
number of high school and college
graduates have never been born, ac-
cording to statistics. At least, their
birth has never been confirmed by
issuance of a birth certificate. This
problem was created when most babies
were i om at home and neither parents
nor attending physician or midwife
took the trouble to report the births.
The situation resulting can be the
cause of much embarrassment and
even a financial handicap. To get
almost any job one needs a birth

around the campus these days when
everyone had just returned from three
months of care-free vacation. From
the many suntans I've seen, it looks
as though the majority of the college

summer.

there is little question that those

What with the midnight curfew clamp-

Those who were on hand Saturday
night should agree that the Pirates
got off on tht right foot as far as the
1954 gridiron season is concerned.
Perhaps the most cheering note
in East Carolina's 21-0 win was
the fact that the Pirates proved
that they could play top-notch
ball without the services of their
top-notch player, Dick Cherry.
Cherry, a junior quarterback who
pitched 17 touchdown passes for
the Bucs last year, suffered a
broken foot in a pre-season prac-
tice session and will probably be
out for the entire season.

East Carolina College tripped Nor-

season's grid opener for both teams
at College Stadium Saturday.
East Carolina received the opening
kkkoff and, following an exchange of
punts, Hayes took a handoff from
quarterback Boyd Webb and scooted
around his own right end for 69
yards and the score. Fullback Claude
King added the extra point, the first
of three he kicked during the night.
Rhodes Scores
Late in the second period after
Norfolk threat had been stopped on
the East Carolina one yard line, the
nirate drove to within the Tars 10.
From that point Webb pitched into
the end zone to Larry Rhodes for the
touchdown.
In the third period Hayes, who

a 33-yard toss from Webb on the
midfield stripe and outraced the Nor-
folk secondary in a 50-yard jaunt to
the goal.
Webb Fills In
For the Pirates the win was
especially sweet in that they played

well in Cherry's absence. In the line

A Fresh Freshman's First Day At East Carolina
by A Typical Freshman,
as told to Jerry Register
On the morning of September 6th,
i got out of bed all excited; this was
the day 1 was going to c?llege. 1 al-
ready had my bags packed, even had
a new toothbrush for the occasion
Out of bed I hopped, washed and
dressed in fifteen minutes, and headed
for the kitchen for breakfast. As I
came in the kitchen, my mother said
to me, "My, but you seem all excited
about something. What is it?"
"Why shouldn't I' ibe I said, "I'm
going to college today
"Oh she said, "I had forgotten
After breakfast, wr got ready and
sUirUvi on the long josrney to East
Carolina College, where I was to be
a student for the next year. That is,
if I didn't flunk out!
When I enrolled in this college, the
registrar told me that all of the dorm-
itory rooms were filled up. He sug-
gested a place off the campus
whare 1 might be able to get a room.
So I contacted the owner of the home
and secured a place to stay.
After I had unpacked all of my
things, 1 said goodby to my father
and mother.
As they drove off, I felt for the
first time in my young life that I
was all alone. This was a new ex-
erience for me, and, to tell you the
truth, it was the first time I had been
away from home to stay. "Oh, well
j said to myself, "you'll get over it
I went back ao my room and laid
down on the bed. As I lay there, 1
started thinking about what had hap-
pen to me during my life. I thought
about the "good old days" when I was
in high school. I thought about all
the parties, dances and football games
used to have at home. Around
we
home, I know everybody?up here I
didn't know anybody. It sort of gave
me a weird feeling inside of my
I stomach to think of those things, so
I stopped thinking about them.
"So what I thought, ? might not
know anyone now but I'll meet a lot
of people up here I quit reminiscing
of the days gone by and started think-
ing about the days ahead.
!l get up and went down to the
campus to see what was happening
there. The campus looked like a race
track, cars were going all ever the
place. Everyone was moving in. And
I do mean everyone!
Every girl who was coming in had
about a truck load of trunks and suit-
cases. It was just about like the air-
port in Washington, D. C. a new one
coming in every minute! 1 stood on a
comer and watched these people
going back and forth, like ants on an
ant hill.
While I was watching all those
people unpack, I noticed a group of
boys standing around the entrance of
one of the girl's dormitories. Being
inquisitive, I moved in a little closer
to get a better look at what was go-
ing on. When I realized what these
boys were doing, I theught to myself,
"Ah, the age of chivalry isn't dead
yet
These boys were waiting for the
cars to stop in front of the dormitory.
When they did one of the boys would
usher himself up to the girl getting
out of the car and introduce himself.
After all the formalities, he would ask
her if she would like to have some
help. Of course the girl would say
yes. So this modern Sir Walter Ra-
leigh would tell the girl to stand aside
and would proceed to unpack her lug-
gage. After he had gotten it all out
of the car, he would say, "Lead the
way up to your room
This being the first day of college,
the dormitories were open to every-
one. So the girl would lead the way
and get her luggage up to her room
with the help of one of these chival-
rous boys.
After everything had settled down,
and everyone had moved in, my
stomach told me that it was time
for supper. So off to the dining hall
I went, and, after having to stand
in liine for about two hours, I was
able to eat supper.
After supper, I went to an assembly
for all freshmen to hear the presi-
dent of the college introduce the high
ranking officials, and speak to us
about the "golden opportunities" that
college offered us.
The assembly lasted for about two
more hours. After all of this, I went
"home" to get some much needed
sleep. Somehow il wasn't as excited
about it as I had been earber in the
day. I began to feel I belonged here.
