Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina
Four Oaks Girl Active In Campus
by Joyce Smith
BSU Work
Too Used To It
We are fearful of trying to write an editorial
on the situation in the Far East, because even if
we write an hour before press time the news
may stiil leave us out of date with the declaration
of war. Yet there seem to be very few cases of
taut nerves and trembling anxious souls around
the campus as the situation grows darker and
darker in Formosa.
One student commented in a class last week
that the reason for the lack of concern about the
threat of war is due to the passing of the climax.
That is, the Korean and Indo-Chinese Wars have
beenanti-climactic actions against the momentous
occasion when the Americans shocked the whole
world by dropping a couple of atomic bombs on
two Japanese islands. The student went on to
say that there s a feeling of the inevitability of
war in the minds of all of us and that there have
been so many cases of strained relations between
the various countries that people have stopped
paying attention to them. If they did become
tense every time war took a step closer, they
would stay in a state of worry. In a few words,
the student meant that none knows what to do
so we are just waiting to see what is bound to
happen go ahead and happen.
We cannot speak with authority on the sub-
ject of foreign relations, but we are inclined to
agree that the student in that junior-senior group
on the campus of East Carolina College is just
about right. Does anyone know a way out of the
disturbing state of world conditions? There would
be a way out, perhaps, if the Russian people and
the American people were not as they are, each
determined that the other is a wicked, unemo-
tional and godless aggregation. But the old max-
im that people don't change overnight is one of
those which has been proven most true.
So we sit here and wonder what is going to
happen. When it happens, we'll go along with
the rest. Not as cowardly and content with "stat-
us quo" as we sound, we just don't know what
to do. We are just being frank and saying what
the rest of the people had just as well admit that
they feel too. In fear, we pray to the God we
neglect in times of happiness to let the extension
we have on peace hold out.
Inhumanity To Fish
Four years ago our campus boasted one of
the most beautiful goldfish pools to be found in
this vicinity. Sadly but truthfully, we nave to
report that this is no longer true. The reasons
which come to the eye for this are twofold: neg-
lect and abuse. The pool needs a good cleaning
out and the children, those of college age and
below, need to stop playing with the fish and
throwing trash into the water.
Hardly a day passes when most of the stu-
dents don't pass by Wright Circle and by the
goldfish pond. Looking down at the poor little
fish trying in vain to be happy makes the gold-
fish lover very sad inside. The fish in the aquari-
ums in the science department are, doubtlessly,
faring like the rich man in the Bible, while the
Httle animals in the pool in front of Wright are
comparatively like Lazarus. We wonder if there
is going to be any after life to compensate for
the miseries of the goldfish in Wright Circle
Pool!
oif the most interesting classes
eing taught on our campus is Eng-
lish 242, or Logic. Dr. Martiha Pingel
is instructing a group of would-be
logicians with some difficulty. This
s ' e ?econd time the course has
been offered here ami some 20-odd
juniors and .unions are the guinea
tgs or the experiment.
Logic, if learned well, is supposed
to be the (passport to success in any
amentative con versa ti on or on any
ype of examination. The success fce-
ing dependent on the lack of fa-
il iliarity of the subject if the person
you talk with or take a test under,
at course. There are only about five
logicians on our campus, however,
and it might be said that most of
the - tudents in English 242 have been
without the opportunity to take it
until now when they are seniors.
: . again, being in the class our-
selves, it may not be so sad, for the
up as a whole is not too clear
:n the , rocedures used. By the end
o. the quarter there may be some
hope for the class, though, and if you
'ind yourself confused when talking
to someone you know to be no bright-
er than yourself .don't feel inferior.
They will just be showing off their
8i iliity to bluff.
Back to the meat of the course, we
remember with no little confusion a
little test the group took in coopera-
tion with a project attempt initiated
by a Duke University logician. The
class w - given five symbols and told
to writ one of them down as the
tencher picked up a card and spoke
only a number. The answers were
checked afterwards by the actual
symbols on the card. The procedure
was tried five times with the cards
being shuffled each time and the
law of averages was supposed to be
five correct guesses in every trial of
25 chances. Dr. Pingel was amazed
wit the clns-s for the final result
was far from average. The majority
"r students were either above or be-
low average and were consistently
in the same category on all five
trials.
A. I. O, and U are vowels, are
tfiey not? They are not just vowels,
?udents will tell you. They are
a part af the symfrolism of the field
of logic. Other terms and symbols
that have always had clear defini-
tions before logic entered into the
scene are also finding themselves be-
ing altered and complemented.
hey could. Oh, this fraternal brother-
hood!
If you are a frequent attender of
the B.S.U. functions at the center
on 8th Street you are apt to know
our Who's Who for the week. She is
Shirley Lassiter who comes from
Four Oaks, North Carolina. Prior to
entering East Carolina Shirley com-
pleted a one year business course at
Flora MacDonald College. For the
next two years Shirley was secretary
to the librarian of Flora MacDonald
College. It might be noted that while
a student at Flora MacDonald Shir-
ley served as treasurer of the Fresh-
man class. After working for two
years this ambitious girl decided she
would like to became a teacher. Alfter
hearing so many favorable comments
from her sister Ruth, who is a stu-
dent here, Shirley decided to enter
East Carolina College.
In expressing her opinion of East
Carolina College Shirley stated tha.
"it is one of the best teacher-train-
ing schools in the state The fine
faculty and the friendly atmosphere
here at ECC were highly praised by
Shirley. She states, "Of all the cam-
puses I've ever been on East Caro-
lina is the friendliest Having been
to both a state supported school and
a church supported school Shirley
definitely feels that you have many
more opportunities to deal with your
fellowman at a state supported school
than you do at one which is church
supported. Hit is off our opinion that
Shirley is meeting this challenge in
a big way.
During summer school of 1954 Shir-
ley served as secretary of the Stu-
dent Government Association. This
past summer she also served as a
member of the Fleming Hall House
Committee.
As was mentioned earlier Shirley
takes a very active role in B. S. U.
Controversial Currents
Shirley Lassiter
S. U. Many inspirational iprograms
are planned by this fine student.
Shirley is also a member oif the B
S. U. council. Last year Shirley at-
tended a B. S. U. Spring Officers
retreat which was held in Charlotte.
For the past two years she has at-
tended the Baptist Student Conven-
tions which were held in Winston-
Sakm and Salisbury respectively. In
taking advantage of these worthy
mti tings Shirley has gained many
worthy spiritual values.
Shirley is chairman of the Honor
Committee which began work at the
Baptist Student Center last spring.
Since the establishment of this- com-
mittee, Shirley, along with her com-
mittee members, has put much time
and thought on an honor system.
By being chairman oif this commit-
tee, Shirley was asked to work with
the Honor Committee that was ap-
pointed by the SGA.
While at East Carolina Shirley
work. This year Shirley is Forum has been an honor role student. Up
Chairman of the East Carolina B. until this quarter she has worked as
a self-help student with Dr. Messick
and Mrs. Barrett. Shirley comments
on this by ying, "I feel like I gain-
ed real worthwhile experience from

Shirley, who is a business major,
plans to do her practice teaching
next fall.
As for hobbies and interest Shirley
likes music and reading. However,
as she i a very busy girl she finds
little time for the latter. Sporta prove
enjoyable ako.
Shirley hss roomed with tier . tei
during her stay at East Carolina.
This year Shirley and Ruth share a
three girl room with Peggy Edwards.
Ruth, who will have another year
sifter Shirley graduates, says she wall
surely miss Shirley. In eotnmeiithtf
on rooming with Shirley she .says.
"Believe it or not we never fuss. '
One thing that remains a mystery
to Ruth is the fact that everyone
thinks Ruth is the oldest. Actually
Shirley is two years older than Ruth.
Both girls agree that there is a con-
flict in names so they answer to both.
Regardless oif the fact that they do
not look the least bit alike people
continue to get their names mixed up.
Peggy says, "Shirley is a very
sweet girl, but I never get to see
her as she spends most of her time

Formosa In Brief

AROUND THE CAMPUS
with Jimmy Ferrell
Sigma Rho Phi staged quite an
exhibition with their initiaton cere-
monies last week. On Thursday night
after the snowfall, the guys who
vt re pledges were (forced into a latd
snowball fight, from about 10:30 until
120. Our assistant editor was in
the group and he reported to work
Friday morning, despite chills and
fever and dirt in his mouth because
-?omeone scooped a little too deep in
the light snow.
As is the usual custom, the guys
had to assist the cheerleaders at the
ball game Friday night. One tale was
told about chains and ex-lax! After
the dance Saturday night the boys
were taken out and left to find thedr
way back to Greenville the best way
they could,
About the Bohunk Trophy
It really isn't much to look at, and
can't compare in looks with the tro-
phies that adorn the trophy case in
he lobby of Memorial Gym. The
thing that it symbolizes makes it im-
portant?supremacy in athletics be-
ween Atlantic Christian College and
East Carolina.
We went over to the gym to look
up F-ome history on tihe trophy and
all we found was that which was
written on the sides of the bucket.
ACC's half of the bucket is blue
with an emblem of a bulldog. The
years ti at they possessed the trophy
are "listed and the results of the
contests in each year.
ECC's half of the bucket is gold
with an emflem of a Pirate, and the
scores df tfe games that they won
and the years in which they won are
arranged in the same manner as At-
lantic Christian's.
The earliest records listed on "Bo-
hunkus" date gack to 1939. There
are records of football, baseball, ten-
nis, and boxing results along with
"Bohunkus" will he at the game
tonight, and the results of the game
will determine the fate of the bucket
until the next athletic contest between
the two schools, which will be an-
other ' asketball game before the end
if t e season in Wilson. Let's hope
the Pirates keep the old wooden
backet.
Around the AC Campus
We went over to ACC last weekend
to get some information for a sports
story on tonight's big game. Believe
us, all the .students over there have
been living for tonight's game for
a long time. By the time you read
this the AC students will probably be
arriving on campus. From what 1
could gather I think the whole stU'
dent body is planning to make the
trip!

An only child, Pat declares she

Their classes conflict, and as he com-

er classes are over. She says that
teachers compare her work with hie,
and she has been asked why she's
not as smart as he. The difference,
she assert, is that he thoroughly
enjoys stui'ving while she doesn't.
Both enjoy the friendly atmos-
phere of the campus. Mr. Simonds
entered school in the fall of 1968,
with the intention of taking a two-
year business course in accounting.
However, Mrs. Simonds persuaded
him to continue and work toward a
BA degree in Business. By coming
to summer school each summer, he
hopes to finish at the end of the
summer term in 1966. Pat will finish
m 1958. After completing school, Mr.
Simonds declared that he would like
to go to South America and do CPA
work. There is no douibt that thb
ambitious man and his attractive
daughter will go f?T in life.
Among their many interests are
going to the beach, which they did
several times last summer nd win-
dow shopping, especially jewelry
stores. (Incidentally, window shop-
ping in jewelry shops is not as in-
teresting as it once was, since Shir-
ley got a diamond for 'Christmas.)
Shirley remarks that her main in-
terest is "Harold
Harold admits that when packing
to go to Shirley's during Christmas,
he left his razor blades out of his
suitcase, and being in a hurry, stuck
them in his coat pocket. Later, due
to obvious nervousness, when he
reached in his pocket to get Shirley's
ring, he, otf course, forgot afeout the
razor blades, and almost cut his
fmger of. ,
When asked what her parents
thought about her becoming engaged,
Shirley replied, "My mother started

Harold remembers vlsitdng Shir-
ley's sister in Norfolk, Va. Shirley,
desiring to make a big impression
arose early and proceeded to cook
Harold's breakfast. Not being used
to a gas store, she had some adjust-
ments to make. However, she finally
cooked the eggs and sausage and
placed them on the tahle. When Har-

and then looked at Shirley. Why, he

As you rush around the campus from A
to Flanagan, to Fleming Hall or to Ragsdalc
it ever occur to you to wonder about the names
jf the buildings that make up East Carolina
? Behind each name is an interesting
if only all of those stories could be collected and
put into print. For each uuilding has been give!
the name it bears in honor of some particular
individual. The building we have in mind at the
time cf writing is one which all of you an
one reason or another, very' familiar with. The
building is Gotten Hall, the largest women's dorm
on campus. Gotten Hall bears its name in honor
and memory of Mrs. Robert R. Cotten, who lived
for many years on a cotton farm a few miles
frm Greenville.
In her adopted state, Mrs. Gotten exercil
her belief in the rights and advancement of I
men. to further the cause of the North Carolina
Federation of Women's Clubs, organized in
tate in 1902. Mrs. Cotten, who served as ro-
dent cf the Federation from 1911 until 1913, '
sometimes called "Mother of the Federation.
Her work with the Federation merited an hon T
which was not bestowed until years after her
death in 1929.
Over and beyond her club work. Mrs. (Vtten
was a writer. Writing under the name Sallie
Southall Cotten, she wrote three books, all ?
which are in the college library. The first of her
books. The White Doe, the Fate of Virginia Dare.
10 Indian legend, was published in 1901. In 19-3
she had a collection of Negro folklore published.
which carried the title Negro Folklore Stores;
What Aunt Dorcas Told Little Elsie. The third
and last of her books is the one which probably
won her more acclaim because of its value to the
North Carolina Federation. The final book. J
History of the North Carolina Federation g
Women's Clubs (1901-1925), was published ?
1925.
There is a charming little human interest
story yet remembered about Mrs. Cotten whicn
we think is worth repeating here. It is said that
the incident occurred at the time of the wedding
of one of her daughters. It seems that the nupti81
flowers had been ordered from Raleigh and weir
coming to Greenville on the Norfolk Southern
freight which was very slow in those days. Con-
sequently, the flowers were late in arriving.Jul
this did not hinder the wedding procedures. Mrj
Cotten used her resources at hand and the resun
was that the weWding went off on schedule, witn
the bridal party carrying bouquets of cotton.
right from the field o the Cottens' farm.
So next time ytu pass by Cotten Hall thin
of the woman for whom it was named. Mayj
this will help clarify the spelling, for here 3"
have the reason why there is an "E" in Cotton
Hall.

IT'S EASY TO SEE that the Droodle above is titled:
Tired anthropologist relaxing with better-tasting Lucky
behind freshly dug-up fossil. No bones about it, Luckies
taste better to all sorts of people. College smokers,
for instance, prefer Luckies to all other brands, ac-
cording to the latest, greatest coast-to-coastest college
survey. Again, the No. 1 reason for Luckies' wide lead:
Luckies taste better. They taste better,
first of all, because Lucky Strike means
fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is
toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted"?
the famous Lucky Strike process?tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco
to make it taste even better cleaner,
fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-
tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.

played such arrangements as "Blue
Moon" and "Teach Me Tonight

ered with ivy, and upon entering
found Winter Wonderland was the
atmosphere. Snow glistened every-
where, and overhead the stars were
twinkling.
The figure was composed of the
class officers dtf the Freshman, Soph-
omore, Junior, and Senior Classes,
Officers walked thru a trellis and
were presented to nhear class mem-
betre. Aifter the presentation of each
officer and his date they circled the
fountain in the center of the audi-
torium, and as tf:e last coup-le took
their place a snow flake was formed.
Mninlgrrrt. climaxed the dance, Kt
this fairy tale event will be remem-
bered as perhaps the most successful
dance this year.
Various students, wfhen asked their
crinion of the dance, replied:
Emo Boado, senior: "I feel that
Charlie Bedford and various commit-
tees w.o worked with him are to be
commended for giving the students

Spectator's Criticism
Of Opera, Don Pasquale
by guest writer Bill Knox
The presentation of Donizetti's
"Don Pasquale" by the Grass Roots
Opera here recently provided an eve-
ning of enjoyment and relaxation for
those who attended. The plot of "Don
Pasquale as is true of most ligfot
operas, was fairly simple. Neverthe-
less, the plans of the wealthy bache-
lor, Don Pasquale, and those of Er-
nesto, his nept.ew, became quite con
trary to each other. This called fox
more action. Don Pasquale was forc-
ed later to make other plans for his
nephew and himself, and finally, Er-
nesto's washes were granted and he
won his lovely sweetheart, Norina,
o? course, through the careful plan-
ning a" Dr. Malateista, a close friend
of all three. The final curtain was
pulled with all ending well.
The costumes were unuijlly beau-
tiful and added a great deal to the
enjoyment of tJhe opera. The acting
of Don Pasquale and Norina was
especially good. The voices, to say
the least, received the audience's ap-
plause throughout the rendition. Er-
nesto's tenor voice and the voice of
hies lover, Norina, will long be re-
membered by those who attended the
occasion.
