steam plan! and has never been re-
placed.
Te EOC poet office, now a Fed-
eral postal unit, is being enlarged

ing 100ms will have the new tile and
lighting where it is necessary.
New Refrigeration
In addition, all refrigeration is be-
ing remodeled and rebuilt. This in-
cludes five large walk-in freezer un-
i s and a 10 by 15 freezer locker.
This is to be equipped with all new
compressors and stainless steel coils.

A faculrty-student Evaluation Com-
mittee has been appointed by the
Policy Committee to study the pres-
ent cut system now in effect here,
according to President J. D. Messick,
Policy Committee Chairman. The
Policy Committee is composed of all
departmental heads here.
The Evaluation Committee will be-
gin their study in January. They face
no deadline for submission of pro-
I osed changes or revisions of the
present system if they see fit to
make revisions.
Marshall Chairman
Dr. W. E. Marshall of the Social
Studies Department hag been named
chairman of the committee. Student
Government Association President
Donald Umstead and Women's Judi-
ciary Chairman Ann Bowles will rep-
resent the students.
Miss Ruth White, Dean of Women
Mr. J. B. Cummings of the Geogra-
phy Department, and Mr. George
Perry of the Music Department will
also work with the committee.
Dr. Messick Comments
President Messick stated, "We feel
that students are taking advantage of
themselves in taking tihe cuts which
are regularly allowed when so very
oft n their classroom work doesn't
show that they could afford to miss
anything. Many of the student fail-
ures, when looked into, show that
these students have cut rather fre-
quently.
"A good student can afford to miss
classes, whereas a poor student can-
not; but the pesent cut system doesn't
allow for any differentiation in the
caliber of work performed. Right now,
we have no idea whether the present
cut system will be changed; but we
are going to study it thoroughly in
an attempt to determine whether any-
thing better can be found
A Good System?Jenkins
Vice-President Jenkins feels that
the present system used here is "one
of the best, but it is always wise to
re-evaluate He further stated, "I
think that it is a good system in spite
of the fact that a few people may
take advantage of it. The average
student does not take advantage of
this system
Bowles Represents Students
Woman's Judiciary Chairman Ann
Bowles, who is serving on the com-
mittee along with President Umstead,
told the East Carolinian, "I feel that
somehow the cuts allowed for any
class should be in proportion to the
number of times the class meets. That
wou' certainly seem more fair in the
cases in which a student meets a two-
hour course five times a week and has
the benefit of only two unexcused cuts.
In connection with this, two-hour
night labs which now count as two
cuts should be considered as two class
meetings in allotting cuts on this
proportional basis.
"At present a committee of SGA is
investigating the idea of setting up
more privileges for seniors. It seems
that unlimited cuts for seniors would
be a privilege which seniors have
earned and would use wisely. This
does not seem so drastic in view of
the fact that at least at one other
state-supported school that I know of

Unexcused absences on January
2, when classwork is resumed,
will also count as double cuts,
according to Dean Leo Jenkins.
Dr. Robert Carter
Presented In Recital
Here Tuesday Night
Dr. Robert Carter, pianist and f ac seniors are no even compelled to take
final examinations.
"Since only two students will be on
tihis committee to investigate the cut
system here, I would appreciate very
much hearing the ideas and opinions
of every other student interested in
the matter before a decision is
reached.
Student Government Association
President Donald Umstead, who is
also serving on the committee, could
not be reached for comment.
Other Committees
Due to increased needs and grow-
ing enrollments the North Carolina
College Conference has asked all col-
leges to re-evaluate their present pro-
grams in the areas of Admissions,
iRetention, snd English Usage. The
Policy Committee appointed theae
committees at the December 9 meet-
ing also.

lege, was presented Tuesday, Dec. 13,
in a recital of works for the piano.
Vre program, sponsored by the
college department of music as one
of a series of reckals by faculty
members during 1955-1956, took place
in he Wright auditorium at 8 p.m.
On his program Dr. Carter played
"Sonata" No. 3, by Norman della
Joio, "Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue"
by Cesar Franck; and selections by
Brahms and Liszit.
A member of the college depart-
ing.t of music since 1949, Dr. Carter
has appeared as pianist in campus
recitals and on college-sponsored
broadcasts, and has played for a
number of civic and cultural organi-
zations in Greenville and other towns

Let's Keep Christmas
(One of Peter Marshall's most inspiring and
memorable sermons?a moving expression of
gratitude that the Christ child came into the
world, and a plea that we keep Christmas "in all
the loveliness of its ancient traditions?Cather-
ine Marshall)
Passing Remark
Does The Welcome

And so I'm taking all my cuts this week .
Jimmy Ferrell
"Changes are everywhere. Many institutions
and customs that we once thought sacrosanct
have gone by the board. Yet there are a few that
abide, defying time and revolution.
The old message: 'For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord' is "still the heart of Christmas. It can
be nothing else. And this message can neither be
changed not quite forgotten, although there are
many things that tend to make us forget.
Modern Author Can't Improve Story
' I here is no need to search for stories new
and different. There is only one after all?and no
modern author can improve it: 'And there were
in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock by night,
and, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them: and the were sore afraid.
"? 'And tiie angel said unto them, Fear not:
tor, behold, 1 bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord
Do You Han The Christmas Spirit?
"Have you been saying, I just can't seem to
feel the Christmas spirit this year?' That's too
bad. As a confession of lack of faith, it is rather
significant. You are saying that you feel no joy
that Jesus came into the world . . . you are con-
fessing that His presence in the world is not a
reality to you.
"Maybe you need all the more to red the
Christmas story over again, need to sit down
with the Gospel of Luke and think about it. I
thank Cod tor Christmas. Would that it lasted all
year. For on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day,
ail the wo! hi is a better place, and men and wo-
men are more lovable. Love itself seeps into every
heart, and miracles happen. When Christmas
doesn't make your heart swell up until it nearly
bursts . . . and fill your eyes with tears . . . and
mak? y u all soft and warm inside . . . then
you'll know that something inside of you is dead.
The Spirit Will Catch You
"Don't worry?you'll be ready for it?you'll
tch the spirit all right, or it will catch you,
s , pi n b tter. And then you will remember
? Christmas means?the beginning of Chris-
tianity . . . the Second Chance for the world . . .
the hope for peace . . . and the only way.
" i'he promise that the angels sang is the most
wonderful music the world has ever heard. 'Peace
on earth and good will toward men It was not
a pronouncement upon the state of the world then
nor is it a reading of the international barometer
the present time . . . but it is a promise??
God's promise?of what one day will come to
pass.
The Way
"The years that are gone are graveyards in
which all the persuasions of men have crumbled
into dust. If history has any voice, it is to say
that all these ways of men lead nowhere. There
remains one way?The Way?untried, untested,
unexplored fullj . . . the way of Him Who was
1, rn a Babe in Bethlehem.
"In a world that seems not only to be chang-
ing, but even to be dissolving, there are some tens
of millions of us who want Christmas to be the
same . . . with the same old greeting 'Merry
Christmas' and no other.
Keep Christmas . . . keep it as it is
"We long for the abiding love among men
of good will which the season brings . . . be-
lieving in this ancient miracle of Christmas with
its softening, sweetening influence to tug at our
heart strings once again. We want to hold on to
the old customs and traditions because they
strengthen our family ties, bind us to our friends,
make us one with all mankind for wrhom the Child
was born, and bring us back again to the God
Who gave His only begotten Son, that 'whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life
"So we will not 'spend' Christmas . . . nor
'observe' Christmas. We will 'keep' Christmas?
keep it as it is in all the loveliness of its
ancient traditions. May we keep it in our hearts,
that we may be kept in its hope

ARE THE SEGREGATIONISTS
BECOMING EXTREMISTS? Un-
doubtedly you have heard of the inci-
dent which took place at a white
Baptist Church in rural Franklin
County last week.
A 71-year-old Negro woman, who
walked approximately four miles
from her home in Wake Forest to
attend the services, was hastily
"bounced" out of the church. A "wel-
come" sign hung over the door of
the church.
The News and Observer reported
I at the elderly lady asked a group
of the people if they were Christians.
She questioned them a second time,
till receiving no comments.
I wonder if the "welcome" sign is
still hanging in front of the church,
jangling in the breeze.
RUMORS HAVE IT that Tenth
Stree' residents near Umstead and
Slay Halls are complaining over the
excess and continuous noise which
streams from the boys' dorms.
Those noisemakers who are obli-
vious or either unconcerned that they
are creating a disturbance should take
heir loudness elsewhere or either
have to answer to the hall proctors.
I HOPE SVNTA CLAUS brings
the Greenville City Council a big fat
budge: so that 'City Manager Hughes
anil is colleagues will stop talking
"statistics" and concentrate on the
installation of a traffic signal at the
intersection of Fifth Street and Beck
with Gate.

It is interesting to note that final

More On The Cut System

The edit rial in last week's Ea.st Carolinian

Unless the SGA does something to alleviate

A Friday Exodus
by Purvis Boyette
Last week, the first semi-formal dance of the
allege year was held here. The dance was big
success but several people mentioned the fact
that they did not understand or were not sure
ibout the meaning of a semi-formal affair. In-
vestigating the problem, it was found that in some
1 calities a function of this type is characterized
n dress by young men wearing dinner jackets
with the young ladies donning their formal gown
preferably full length ones. In a contrasting lo-
cality dress was considered proper when men
wore dark suits and the girls, short or long eve-
ning dresses.
Our problem is now simplified into deciding
?s to which of the above categories East
Carolina belongs. It should be remembered that
many students on the campus are self-sufficient
and a number of male students would hesitate
?r ing to dances requiring them to dress in dinner
jackets.

Merry
TVas Two Weeks Before Christmas.
It was two weeks before Christ-
mas, and the day of the publication
of the last East Carolinian before
the holidays was drawing near. The
editors and staff were madly rushing
to and fro writing last-minute news
stories, drawing up ads, writing
?deadlines, reading galleys and a mil-
lion other little things that have to
be done before the final printing of
the East Carolinian. The feeling of
Christmas was in the air?as well as
the numerous Christmas tests prom-
ised by our "beloved" professors?
but this did not alter the activity of
the newspaper office. Everyone was
as busy as could be, and the co-
editors, Joyce and Jimmy, were ar-
guing and chasing each other around
the office with their new Christmas
rulers presents of the staff mem-
bers).
Cut Again!
Joyce screamed, "Jimmy, you'll just
have to cut class again, because we
can't possibly get the newspaper out
if you don't
"O. K. O. K yelled Jimmy with
a defeated sigh.
Then, the chase was brought to an
abrupt halt by the ringing of the
phone, tit was the printer.
"Jimmy he yelled, "get the rest

Jimmy hurriedly snatched up the

printers. Meanwhile, Joyce busily
typed up last minute headlines and
put the final touches on tho second
page.
This Guy Arnold
As the atmosphere was assuming
a calm and peaceful state once more,
in rushed the sports editor, Billy
Arnold. He determinedly snatched up
a sheet of paper, threw it into his
typewriter and furiously started
typing his column, The Crow's Nest,
muttering and mumbling to himself
as he typed.
"Why doesnft somebody ever tell
me anything?" he munaibled. "How
was I to know that the paper was
coming out early?"
However, before things could settle
down to a quiescent 8tate once again,
Jimmy and his crew returned?with
the disdainful news that a column
was missing.
"Where is the column and where is
Jane?" inquired Jimmy.
At that opportune moment the in-
quiredfor rushed into the office with
the missing story.
Not Again!
"I'm sorry that I'm late she ex-
claimed, "but I just got out of class
Jimmy groaned and Joyce turned
pale as Joyce mpanfully said, "Now
we'll have to re-arrange all of the

"Oh, well replied Jimmy with the
look of the crushed and the defeated.
all day, and I've certainly taken
enough cuts from classes already
During the remainder of the day
the office was a "bee-hive" of activi-
ty. Staff members wandered in and
read and corrected errors in the gal-
leys, and then slipped silently away
to the Soda Shop after they had
finished. Jimmy and Joyce finished
re-arranging the second page, Billy
finished his sports column.
Peace . . . ?
Then with a sigh of finality, Jim-
my said, "Well, everything is fin-

printers
Joyce sighed and everyone wearily
smiled as she exclaimed, "What a
day this has been
"Well volunteered Billy, "I'm go
ing home where there is peace and
quiet?and I'm hungry, too
Then, as everyone silently and
wearily trooped out of the office and
stumbled down that enormous flight
of sters, the sun was slowly setting
and dusk was enveloping the campus.
As the last rays of light fell across
the cluttered desks of the East Caro-
linian office a little mouse scooted
across the floor and the quietness of
the night fell like a blanket around
the deserted room. And, outside, the
Christmas laughter and the tinkle of
Christmas bells cut through the
quietness of the night . . . and an-
other day's work for the newspaper
staff had ended.
Upon several occasions the EAST CARO-
LINIAN has made mention of the fact that too
many students find it necessary to leave the cam-
pus over the weekends. Our two-day weekends
should be considered a privilege designed to en-
able the student to become acquainted with some
of the different aspects of college life. The am-
bitious would find the weekend ideal for catching
up on back school work, joining and participating
in extra-curricular activities, socializing with
friends, and most purposeful?working with some
establishment in order to help defray some of
their college expenses. The long weekend was set
up with the idea of providing the college student
with the opportunity of becoming more well-
rounded. This plan cannot be realized at home.
When you return from the Christmas holidays,
wouldn't it be wise to try a college weekend for
a change?
On one late Friday afternoon I was in my
room and observed what I have come to call
the "Friday Exodus I jotted down my observa-
tions in the following word thought.
Looking out my window, I saw that twilight
reigned. Music was playing softly. The trees were
motionless. An occasional light played on a
branch, a leaf: danced, and was no more. The
morbid fingers of death seemed to have gripped
the air, the leaves, the dirt. . . .
Cars streamed along the highway, moving
effortlessly. A student left the dorm, walked aim-
lessly across the yard, between two buildings and
wa gone. All was quiet as silence and peace mov-
ed over the campus. Strains of music held me
between reality and that other world?whatever
it might be.
Dark clouds of smoke billowed from a single
chimney as if spreading darkness over the area.
Time slipped away . . . night came. A car pulled
from its parking place and moved hurriedly away.
Stillness . . .
.The Friday exodus was complete . . . and
I, alone with my thoughts.
A final thought comes from the pen of Thom-
as Wolfe. A ponderous sentence, Its meaning is
deep.
Time passing as men pass who never will
come back again and leaving us, Great God,
with only this . . . knowing that this earth, this
time, this life, are stranger than a dream

Lasst week the Red Cross Bloodmo-
bile, under the sponsorship of the
AFROTC detachment here at the col-
lege, paid i a annual visit. The quota
had been se4 aa 110 pints of blood
for this visit. This quota was sur-
passed due to the energetic vogram
under t e leadership of Captain Gen ?
If. Crane and his fine Code Corps.
Cue hundred hirty-one pints of blood
were donated; this represented one
of the bead records accomplished at

Mi ny more students wished to do-

they did not meet requirements for

Many humorous scenes were no-
ticed throughout the day, some very
hilarious, obi ers very heart-warming.
One cadet had had to be cut three
times before a sample of his blood
. be obtained. Another jokingly
wanted to give another pint of blood.

BOARD
for
(Contiued from page 1)
the entire Student Body
Thus voting will take place
a q after :he Christmas holidays.
East Carolina is fortunate to be
of the six colleges in the state
ave a College Union. By virtue
eing a member of tihe East Caro-
lina College Student Body, each stu-
dent is automatically a member of
the Union and can participate in its
activities.
The organization of the College
Union Student Board is similar to
the established unions at State, Duke,
Carolina, and other colleges. With
Miss Cyntihia Mendenhall, recreation
supervisor of the College Union, as
its advisor, the Board consists of:
sident, Decoma Byrd; secretary,
Jo Anne Harris; treasurer, Libby
Small; and the committee chairmen-
House, Charles Simmons; Publicity,
Roy Askew; Games, Joel Farrar and
Eddie Dennis; Music and Dance,
Greenville Banks; Social, Dot Lloyd;
Fine Arts, Jack Beaman; and Special
Projects, Linda Whitehurst.
Membership of the above-listed
committees will be made of members
of the student body who volunteer
for work on the committees. After
the holidays, a membership campaign
sponsored by the Board.
It is the belief of the College Un-
ion Student Board that the program
of the Union will be broadened by
its present organization with stu-
dents taking an active part in plan-
ning and executing the program.
Probaby few students at East Caro-
lina know that the college has a pri-
vate automatic switchboard in Austin
building. The switchboard was set up
in the fall of 1953 and has been in
use since then. It is operated from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday thru
Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 12:40 p.m.
on Saturday.
T. ere are approximately 75 dif-
ferent r.hones operated by the college
switchboard. These phones cannot be
used except during 'he time the op-
erators are on duty. Certain tele-
phones, such as the Cafeteria, Dean
of Women, Infirmary, Registrar, Di-
rector of Athletics, Faculty Apart-
ments, and the Power Plant, are con-
nected for outside service at night
and on weekends.
The switchboard is automatic and
calls between offices do not have to
be plugged in. Calls going to outside
lines or coming from outside lines
are received at the switchboard. The
operator then dials the party desired.
A regular operator is on duty from
8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from
2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. At the other
hours, student operators take over.
The job is not difficult to learn and
it is often quite exciting. The opera-
tor must be familiar with the various
teachers and their departments and
must know something about the of-
fices at the college.
Students have been requested not
to use these phones for long distance
calls except in cases of emergency.
e are business phones and should
not be tied up. Phones are provided
in the dormitories for the student's
use.
