The Sleeping Majority
A recent voluntary meeting of the students
of East Carolina College certainly made the strik-
ing example that East Carolina students lack
initiative and interest in the affairs of the school.
The purpose of this meeting was to install the
incoming officer? of the Student Legislature.
Out of the approximate enrollment of 2500
at East Carolina we would say that approximate-
ly 50 students were present for the meeting. If
the students showed a sincere interest in the
work of their student government, Austin Audi-
torium would have been filled to capacity.
Just where this lack of spirit begins is an
unsolved question. It appears to be a routine fac-
tor for the majority of students to just go to
class, do their studies and have their own pleas-
ure. However, there is much more to getting a
true college experience. While the administration
and the student government strive diligently in
trying to promote a well-rounded education pro-
gram at East Carolina College many students
continually ignore the fact. Regardless of how
earnestly the administration and SGA work in
trying to promote a good program is will never
reach its maximum until the full cooperation of
all students is guaranteed.
Another factor that we would like to call
attention to is that some students continually
gripe about various incidents connected with the
school, yet they fail to realize that a little inter-
est on "their part could be most beneficial. No
student at East Carolina is of such a minority
that his opinion fails to count. As retiring SGA
president Wade Coper pointed out as he stepped
down from his position, the purpose of the student
government is to serve the masses and the indi-
vidual. Individuals are the roots of all dealings
made by the students and administrative officials
of East Carolina College.
This publication is fully awrare of the hap-
penings of the student government and it is a
seldom occurrence that students not on the legis-
lature make their appearance before the body.
If individuals or groups have suggestions for any
improvements in SGA they should feel free to
contact the necessary persons and they would
certainly be glad to discuss them with you.
The same is true with the administration.
As President Messick pointed out in his talk to
the students on April 13, if it were not for the
students here there would be no need for an ad-
ministration.?J. S.

.Although Maidired had decided that
she was going to Meredith she was
drawn to ECC. This came about
mainly through her attending high

found here.
As a counselor to the freshmen
during hwr sophomore year, Maidred
began to assume her role as a leader.
The Spring before she went on Spring

during her Junior year she served as

All of us look forward to Friday because to
most of us it means that another weekend has
arrived. The weekend is a time for pleasure, re-
laxation and freedom from books and school
worries.
The weekends are all of those things?except
on the highways. In 1954, 13,980 persons were
killed and 678,000 were injured in weekend acci-
dents, according to figures compiled and released
by the Traveler Insu-ince Companies. Thirty-
nine per cent of the deaths and 35 per cent of
the injuries were recorded on Saturdays and
Sundays in 1954.
Excessive speed was the most dangerous
driving mistake in 1954, as it has been in pre-
ceding years, killing 2,380 persons. The 1953
total was 13,780. Drivers under 25 years of age
were involved in more than 24 per cent of 1954's
fatal accidents, although they constitute only
about 14 per cent of the total of all drivers.
Weekend crashes accounted for 13,890 killed
and 678,000 injured. The 1953 weekend record
was 15,800 killed and 800,000 injured. The Trav-
elers Insurance Companies also reports that 39
per cent of the deaths and 35 per cent of the
injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays last
year, with more occurring on Saturday. One
good reason for this is that more oars are travel-
ing the highways on Saturdays than on any other
daj. There is another important feature which
sets this day apart from the others. For too many
people, Saturday night is a time when drinking
and driving are combined. No one knows how
many traffic accident are caused by drinking

"The Collegians this year have the
finest band in the state, in my opin-

director and saxophone player of the
Collegians, And to the students here

Being inquisitive we decided to in-

Back In '47
It all began back in 1947 when 11
boys decided it was their desire to
organise a denes band. Mr. Herbert
Carter took the 11 boys and orga-
nized them as a cooperative band.
I he and then elected him as music
director and Bob Lee as manager.
This 'irst band had no money and
no equipment, which includes stands,
music, PA system, ? trailer, and dress
coats, but they had a dream which
? became a reality. After the first
three or four dances, the band mem-
bers took their salaries and bought
some dance equipment.
In 1948 they bought all the equip-
ment of the Bob Berman Band in
Wilmington and the band became
known as the Bob Lee Orchestra. The
personnel of the first band was Mr.
Herbert Carter, Bob Lee, Leon Jack-
son, Bob Mays (vocalists), Bill Ad-
cock, Jack White, L. M. Lancaster,
Millard Ward Bob Gaskins, Don Ad-
cock, Maurice Bunat, Shelton Moore,
and Joe Laasitsr.
The Bob Lee Orchestra began an
extensive advertising and publicity
campaign, and became known as the
"Best Band in Tarheel Land In
I960 the Boh Lee Orchestra made
numerous recordings of their arrange-
ments which were sold to the students
here on campus. I(t was during this
year tat Mr. Carter resigned his
position as music director because of
a conflict in his schedule. Charlie
Kluttz took over as music director
and filled this position until his grad-
uation fall quarter of this year.

known as the famous Collegians.
One of the interesting things Jimmy
Alexander told us about the Colle-
gians concerned particulars of their
constitution. The constitution is com-
posed o?f the rules the members
abide by. Also the power) of the
music director are listed, and rules
COi reining an absence from t e job,
and tardiness. All members of the
Collegians must be at practice ses-
sions.
Every quarter if the occasion arises
there are try-outs for positions. All
students have the right to try out for
?try position in the band. A person
qualifies if there Is a two-thirds ap-
proval vote of the rest of the band.
And any member can be voted out
by a three-fourths vote of the band.
Jimmy Alexander says of the Col-
legians, "We are not recognized by
a specific style such as Ray Anthony
and Glenn Miller, but we have a style
of our own. And we play the music
and styles of all the bands
At intervals the Collegians have
house cleaning and they bake out all
their old numbers and store them

There has been for many years some qm
tions regarding the qualifications ani ftttribul
necessary to become marshals. It is stated in th
handb ok. "The scholarship of marshals shall
att in an average of not less than 43 All mars,
tie elected bj a vote of the student body
Jt is our -pinion that the position of marshal
should be such a distinguished and bonoral
mi that th? re should be no doubts or bl
ishes concerning those who are marshals. It
been brought t i our attention that one of the
marshals handed in her name after the preacril
d adline, but u is still placed on the ballot a
now is a marshal. Vet, another student, a student
just as capable a- this one previously refer'
to, handed her name in a day late . . . but not
to the same person. And, therefore, her name
did not appear on the ballot and she is not now
a marshal. Students, I ask you, is this justice?
"No student will carry more than twelve
points so says the Student Handbook. It I
been brought to our attention that many of the
campus officers and marshals are carrying
excess over the standard twelve points. In on
to enable a targe majority of students t
int i campus activities this point system was ?
tablished. Hut what good is it doing .n black and
white if it is not followed and enforced? It is up
to those students holding over twelve points I
. ither give up their offices to those students who
could have more time to work efficiently, or dl
from some other extracurricular activity.
It is not written in the by-laws of the (
stitution, but is it right that a freshman should
hold the office of marshal? This is not meant
an offensive manner to any freshman at t
time. East Carolina is known for not having
class distinction; this is a virtue. Yet, it seems
that a position as marshal should be an honor
that would be better endowed to an upper-da
man. This is a clause that should be written into
the c nstitution in order to clarify further m
understanding.
Reprinted from March 19, 1954 Pot Pov
by Emily Iiyce)
'Ho be a college marshal has always b
considered an honor So the 1953 Buccai
writes among the pictures of that year's E
Carolina marshals.
There did not seem to be an overwhelming
amount of enthusiasm to join the ranks of mar-
sh ds this year. The time for the names to be in
us extended by the SGA. due to the lack of can-
didates. Announcements were read at Hous-
meetings telling of the extended time period ami
urging those students desiring to run to hand
in their names. Aren't people interested in being
arshals? When approaching some of the forme)
marshals on the general subject, they said that
it was a large job, an expensive one and they even
w nd red if now the honor attached to the posi-
tion v. as as paramount as it should be due to the
present qualifications.
A student must maintain an average grade
of ?. twenty-five persons are required to sign the
application, and she must win at the polls on
g nt i i election day.
At first glance the qualifications do not 1
too easy. But a student must maintain a 3 a
age to even stay in college. It's a relatively sin
matter to round up 25 people to sign an applica-
tion and actually the first 16 names on the ballot
h ve the be t chance to be elected?or maybe the
voting is strictly a popularity contest.
Are the qualifications too low to denote the
desired honor attached to the position? Has the
East Carolina marshal position lost its meaning?

Queptions constantly arise around
campus as to why girl cannot wear
peddle pushers, Bermuda shortg or
Shorts on nk campus. From view-
ing sights on other campuses it seems
that aveb apparel is permissible at
of er colleges. Some een. g ?s far
avs to al'ow the girls to wear such
while off-campus.
Girls are particularly concerned
over having to wear raincoatg or
skirts to the gytm or tennis courts.
It is our belief that shorts or the like
would not be nearly as disitracbing
as bare knees appearing out of the
coat every step. With spring and hot
weather approaching it beconit quite
a bit. uncomfortable for a coat.
ft girls are wearing such apparel
in the dorms it becomes quite burden-
some for them to have to change
clothes every lame they have an errand
on back campus.
Local Greenville girls vary fre-
quently come on campus with peddle
pushers, dungarees, or shorts, espe-
cially the girls who ride horses on
our campus. Also during the summer,
girls who are up for music camps
often make this tyipe of clothing
their major outfit.
Certainly if anyone is to be allowed
to wear shorts or the like it should
he the girls who make East Carolina
College their home while in school.
We will not be so broad minded
as to state that girls should be al-
lowed to make this their major out-
fk, T is is far from our opinion.
Cot major plea is that girls merely
be permit ed to wear shorts, paddle
?i r?r Bermuda shorts in com-
g to and from the gym and in
running errands on back campus.
We, as a representative of the girls
at East Carolina College, believe that
dances, but at outstanding events all
over North Carolina. The Shriner's
Convention, the Azalea Festival, the
Harvest Festival, and the President's
Ball in Elizabeth City are some of
the festival occasions where they
have played. Alto this year they have
played for d-ances at N. C. State
College, Wake Forest and at the
Casino ami Recreation Center at Nags
Head. Each year the Collegians re-
ceive more calls than they can fill
to play at high school Junior-Seniors
all over the state.
Outstanding soloists with the Col-
legians since their beginning in 1947
and up to this year are Bob Mays,
Bernie Ham, Larry Parlor, Don and
Bill Adcock, Bob Lee, Ed Benson,
Bill Galsgon (arranger), Bob Craft,
I . B. Starling, R. B. Starling, Char-
lie Klutz, Clyde Strong, and Frank
Hammond.
Cold Music
Jimmy tells otf their coldest if not
the most amusing event, which hap-
: ened at one of the Azalea Festivals.
It was so cold that the band played
in overcoatg and gloves. The saxo-
phone pads were completely frozen
and some were even broken because
of the extreme weabher.
This May come Commencement
time seven members of the Collegians
will be graduating. There is going
to be a definite problem of replacing
the members who are finishing. "But,

giana have survived more difficult
Extensive civil defense programs are woe-
fully lacking in too many places in the United
States. In a great many small communities civil
defense projects are completely non-existent. The
fundamentals of civil defense are extremely vital,
today more than ever before.
The project of civil defense is one which a
Government class has undertaken here at East
Carolina College is cooperation with Dr. K. Stokes
this quarter. Hats off to these interested students
and the faculty advisors for promoting this vital
and timely project. Every member of the preaenl
rganizatioD is voluntarily enrolled to learn basic-
civil defense tactics. This program is designed to
train students at East Carolina to know what
to do and how to do it in cases of emergency.
Such a project is insurance to each of these indi-
viduals and to others. It may serve one day a
a protective device frighteningly desirable. This
program also aims at encouraging students to
take special training in civil defense going on
further into such special devices as the Warden
branch of community defense.
There is a great deal of work necessary to
promote such a program. Television and radio
programs are planned in the near future. The
students in this unit on campus are interested
md have already done some excellent work in
civil defense. The program actually is still in the
blueprint stage, but with willing students and
interested faculty, the project should grow a
great deal. The student committee working with
Dr. Stokes have done a fine job as coordinators.
If anyone is interested in obtaining more infor-
mation concerning the East Carolina unit in
civil defense, please contact Dr. Stokes of the
Social Studies Department.

"Improving the Women's Day Room" was
the main topic of the Women Day Students meet-
ing held March 21, 1955. The group decided to
send a note of appreciation to Dean Ruth White
and Mr. Duncan for their recent help and advice
in furthering some badly needed improvements
for the Women's Day Room. As a result of their
interest, the old furniture is being re-upholstered

The Sleeping Majority
A recent voluntary meeting of the students
0f ; arolina College certainly made the strik-
example that East Carolina students lack
initiative and interest in the affairs of the school.
The purpose of this meeting was to install the
incoming officer; of the Student Legislature.
Out of the approximate enrollment of 2500
a: East Carolina we would say that approximate-
ly ! idents were present for the meeting. If
the students showed a sincere interest in the
work of their student government, Austin Audi-
- rium would have been filled to capacity.
.lust where this lack of spirit begins is an
unsolved question. It appears to be a routine lac-
tor for the majority of students to just go to
class, do their studies and have their own pleas-
ure. However, there is much more to getting a
true college experience. While the administration
and the student government strive diligently in
trying to promote a well-rounded education pro-
gram at East Carolina College many students
continually ignore the fact. Regardless of how
earnestly the administration and SGA work in
trying to promote a good program is will never
reach its maximum until the full cooperation of
all students is guaranteed.
Another factor that we would like to call
attention to is that some students continually
gripe about various incidents connected with the
school, yet they fai to realize that a little inter-
est on their part could be most beneficial. No
student at East Carolina is of such a minority
that his opinion fails to count. As retiring SGA
president Wade Coper pointed out as he stepped
down from his position, the purpose of the student
government is to serve the masses and the indi-
vidual. Individuals are the roots of all dealings
made by the students and administrative officials
of East Carolina College.
This publication is fully aware of the hap-
penings of the student government and it is a
seldom occurrence that students not on the legis-
lature make their appearance before the body.
If individuals or groups have suggestions for any
improvements in SGA they should feel free to
contact the necessary persons and they would
certainly be glad to discuss them with you.
The same is true with the administration.
As President Messick pointed out in his talk to
the students on April 13, if it were not for the
studeMts here there would be no need for an ad-
ministration.?J. S.
Live On The Weekends
All of us look forward to Friday because to
most of us it means that another weekend has
arrived. The weekend is a time for pleasure, re-
laxation and freedom from books and school
worries.
The weekends are all of those things?except
on the highways. In 1954, 13,980 persons were
killed and 678,000 were injured in weekend acci-
dents, according to figures compiled and released
by the Travelers Insurance Companies. Thirty-
nine per cent of the deaths and 35 per cent of
the injuries were recorded on Saturdays and
Sundays in 1954.
Excessive speed was the most dangerous
driving mistake in 1954, as it has been in pre-
ceding years, killing 2,380 persons. The 1953
total was 13,780. Drivers under 25 years of age
were involve1 ir more than 24 per cent of 1954's
fatal accidents, although they constitute only
about 14 per cent of the total of all drivers.
Weekend crashes accounted for 13,890 killed
and 678,000 injured. The 1953 weekend record
was 15,800 killed and 800,000 injured. The Trav-
elers Insurance Companies also reports that 39
per cent of the deaths and 35 per cent of the
injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays last
year, with more occurring on Saturday. One
good reason for this is that more cars are travel-
ing the highways on Saturdays than on any other
day. There is another important feature which
?eta this day apart from the others. For too many
people, Saturday night is a time when drinking
and driving are combined. No one knows how
many traffic accidents are caused by drinking
drivers, but everyone knows ijs a major prob-
lem.

na constantly arise around
to why girls cannot wear
ushers, Bermuda shorts or
Aorta on hack campus. From view-
ing sighl on other campuses it seems
that sneh apparel is permissible at
?'er colleges. Some eyen go as far
a.s to allow the girls to wear such
while off-campus.
Girls are particularly concerned
over having to wear raincoat or
skirts to the gym or tennis courts.
rt is our belief that shorts or the like
would not be nearly as distracting
as bare knees appearing out of the
coat every step. Writh spring and hot
weather approaching it become quite
a bit uncomfortahle for a coat.

Music played by Collegians is heard
not only at East Carolina College
dances, but at outstanding events all
ov? r North Carolina. The Shriner's
Convention, the Azalea Festival, the
Harvest Festival, and the President's
Ball in Elizabeth City are some of
the festival occasions where they
have played. Abo this year they have
played for dances at N. C. State
College, Wake Forest and at the
Casino and Recreation Center at Nag?
Head. Each year the Collegians re-
ceive more calls than they can fill
to play at high school Junior-Seniors
all over the state.
Outstanding soloists with the Col-

and up to this year are Bob Mays,
Bernie Ham, Larry Parlor. Don and
Bill Adeoek, Bob Lee, Ed Benson,
Bill Galsgon (arranger), Bolb Craft,

Cold Music
Jimmy tells of their coldest if not
the most amusing event, which hap-

It was so cold that the band played
in overcoats and gloves. The saxo-

Sport Lite

by Neil King
Richard "Brother" Monds, graduate
of Dunn High School in 1951, is in
this week's Sport Lite spot lite.
While attending Dunn High, Dick
now 23 years old, played four years
of football at the guard post and
three years of baseball as a catcher.
Monds' senior year there proved most
prosperous for him as he was the
first Dunn lad ever to make All-
State as a footballer. The same year
he was awarded the annual Blocking
Trophy for his efforts as a lineman.
To cap these two honors, he was
c osen to play in the annual Shrine
Bowl game staged in Charlotte be-
tween the best high school football
players in North and South Carolina.
In baseball, he was never accorded
such honors, but he more than held
down the first-string catcher's posi-
tion for his final three years at Dunn.
After graduation, "Brother" joined
the Navy and played baseball for
two years while serving aboard the
USS Nereus, a submarine tender, in
San Diego, Calif. The Navy thought
enough of his ability to play football
to pull him off the Nereus during
the pigskin season to perform for
Commander Submarine Force, Pacific
Fleet, and later for Commander
Training Command, Pacific Fleet.
During the past football season,
Monds steadily pulled himself up
along the ranks, and by this past
spring training season, he was run-
ning first-string guard for Coach
Boone's forces. Currently, Dick is
playing baseball, and as a catcher is
second only to veteran Bill Cline.
Alter Cline's graduation, Monds will
he the most likely candidate to fill
his shoes. "Brother" will be a sopho-
more next year and is sure to see
quite a bit of action on both the
gridiron and the diamond.
Monds is married and is the proud
pop of two children. Beth, the oldest,
is two years old, and is followed by
Richard Jr who is one year old,

Last year's North State champs

derson, the Bucs showed their
strength by receiving points in every
event except the relay and two mile.
Henderson, former Virginia high
school star, set a new Apprentice
school record for the low hurdles.
He also tied the school record in the
100 with a terrific 9.9 time. Further
aiding in the win, he clinched first
place in the 220 and high hurdles.
3ta the field events, the ECC track-
sters took a clean sweep of the javelin
throw with Eddie Dennis leading the
way and Toppy Hayes and Dave
Gravitz gaining second and third
places, respectively. Versatile Toppy
added another accomplishment to his
strong of athletic talentg by winning
second place in the pole vault. It was
Hayes' first try at the event.
Bobby Perry and Bobby .Patterson
gathered in four points by taking
second and third positions in the
broad jump. Louis Slade of ECC took
third place in the shop, Dave Gravitz
second in the discus. The Pirates
also received points as a five-way tie
resulted in the high jump.
The strong Buccaneer runners took
first places in every tr$ck event ex-
cept the two mile. The 100 yard dash
was a clean sweep as Henderson,
