Jane Couldn't Say
Anything, She
Just Stood There
By MARTHA WILSON
A freshman did it again! wA
"I couldn't say anything just
stood there exclaimed pretty Jane
Carter, commenting on last Friday
night's announcement that she had
been voted Homecoming Queen.
Newly-organized Delta Sigma Rho
-ocial fraternity entered Jane's name
in competition with 23 other con-
testants. "I think it's a great honor
Jane remarked, "to have been spon-
sored by Defta Sigma Rho. I hope
that my being crowned queen will
help this fratc-rnify to get a good
start on campus She termed the
boys in the fraternity "Wonderful
Complete Surprise
Her winning came as a complete
surprise. Jane stated, That's the
honest-to-goodness truth. Why didn't
somebody tell me?"
She was the picture of unsophis-
ticated freshness and beauty as she,
escorted by SGA President Dock
Smith, ascended the steps to Wright's
stage during intermission at the
Homecoming Dance. Her full-length
evening dress of white net with
cartwheels of net inserted in the skirt
flowed gracefully around her. Mr-
Henry Ogleshy, the first man to
receive hi A. B. degree from East
Carolina, presented Jane, her dark
eyes sparkling, with a dozen roses
and pieced a crown of pearls upon
her long black tresses.
Other Contests
Freshman Jane Carter, from Car-
thage, N. C, is no new-comer to the
beauty circle. For the past several
years s'e has competed in contests
sponsored by local county fairs,
placing as runner-up for Miss Moore
County twice and for Miss Lee
County.
This is the third straight year Miss
Homecoming has been a freshman,
Jobil Lassiter having been crowned
in 1955 and Katherine Dismuke in
1954.

EAST CAROLINIAN
On Social Fraternities
Students will express their opinions con-
cerning the establishment of national social
fraternities here during a campus-wide elec-
tion before the end of this quarter. The East
Carolinian, in an effort to familiarize stu-
dents with such organizations, will reprint two
articles which were published recently about
social fraternities.
.The following article by Sloan Wilson auth-
or of the beat selling novel "The Man in the
Gray Flannel Suit appeared in the October
14 issue of The American Weekly. An article
from the same magazine, favoring social fra-
ternities, will be published in next week's
sue. ? Editor.
Jimmy Ferrell
Last winter a student at the Massachusetts
.lute of Technology was killed while being
initiated into a fraternity. He had been left
out in the woods alone on a cold night by his
"brother and was trying to find his way back
to his campus. While crossing a frozen pond,
which he may have mistaken for a snow-cov-
ered meadow in the darkness, he fell through
the ice and was drowned.
Fraternities are allowed a good deal of
latitude in the name of good clean horseplay,
but they aren't supposed to kill people. All
sort. of reforms were undertaken on the
M. I. T. can is, and the paid executive secre-
taries of fraternities all around the country
were kept busy writing statements about the
good deeds their members have substituted
ishioned hazing.
In spite of this, the incident of the b y fail-
the ice in the darkness dealt a
ha a to fraternities. A lot of people be-
gan to w nder what all these Greek lettters
mean and whether fraternities aren't fund-
amentally vicious.
I think this is too bad because there is noth-
ing vicious about fraternities. They can be
called stupid, witless, juvenile, and purpose-
less associations much like the "clubs" small
b ys organize in back-yard shacks, but they
can't be called vicious. Most of them have a
ind of Boy Scout'eode of honor which makes
members burst with pride.
It bothers me to see fraternities criticized
for the wrong reasons. Fraternities can easily
prove they're vicious, and they can easily
change their initiation procedures to avoid
unfortunate fatal accidents. In doing this.
they mav seem to have undertaken important
reforms, and to have justified their existence.
That, of course, would be nonsense. The ex-
istence of fraternities can't be justified any
more than can many other manifestations
of adolescence.
Very few people seem to understand what
fraternities I and sororities and other secret
clubs.) are. They are organizations of students
which ask some people to be members and ex-
clude others. The standards of acceptance are
vague and are established by the fraternity
members themselves.
The goal of each fraternity usually is to get
as its members the "best" students enrolled
in an institution of learning. By "best" I don't
mean the most brilliant or the most moral; I
mean "best" as construed by the absolescents
themseh-
To some this means rich, handsome and
white Protestants, a definition which in its
guileless witlessness almost achieves inno-
cence. To others, "best" means those posses
of the prevailing code of social behavior, or
the best available after "better" fraternities
have taken their pick.
Fraternities like to boast about getting "A
good ci oss-s ction" of students as members, but
on ah I any campus an old hand will be
able to tell which fraternities specialize in at-
tracting the local version of socialities, which
ones pride themselves on varsity athletes, and
which ones are havens for the boy intellect-
uals. There are fraternities especially known
for heavy drinking, for wild parties and lux-
urious living.
On almost any campus it is easy to find
which fraternities are for white Proestants
only, which ones are largely Catholic and
which ones are largely Jewish. In the past,
manv fraternities oafishly placed written art-
icles of racial or religious restriction in then-
constitutions. Recently there have been many
hasty and red-faced attempts to bring the
constitutions of fraternities into line with the
constitution of the United States, but no one
can seriously doubt that intolerance and bigotry
is still practiced by any fraternities.

fraternities and found enlightenment in
the field of modes and manners. Specia
classes for such poor souls could be pro-
vided if fraternities should die of their own
clownishness.
What other advantages do fraternities
pretend to offer? A "sense of belongg"
is one. Undoubtedly there are a few stu-
dents on every campus who are afraid to
stand up as individuals. For such people it
is not enough to be a member of a family,
a church, a college, a nation, and the human
race. They like to believe they're something
special, because they have achieved member-

out. Fortunately, most colleges now have

boast of it. That is the "advantage" of
"contacts" made at college vho will later be

are afraid they will be unable to get a job
as good as they deserve without outside

Disparaging Moments
Don't let the gaiety of the at-
mosphere fool yon, Homecoming
has its disparaging moments.
Phi Sigma Pi fraternity had a
sleek Cadillac convertible all lined
up for lovely coed Pat Everton,
their Homecoming sponsor, to ride
in during the parade.
A member of the frat was driv-
ing the handsome automobile to
campus Saturday morning when
motor trouble suddenly developed.
Mechanics couldn't remedy the
situation before parade time and
Miss Everton rode down Fifth
Street in a much lower-priced
convertible.
Motor trouble threw a monkey
wrench into Veterans' Club plans,
also. Their float was finished
and ready to go, but Saturday
the truck's engine refused to co-
operate. They didn't make it to
the parade.
Late Saturday night an East
Carolinian reporter visited Slay
Hall to get a description of that
dorm's prize-winning decorations,
thinking they might not be stand-
ing by Monday.
When he arrived, one of the
cardboard football players had
fallen from a window where it
had hung. He decided to lend a
helping hand but placed the card-
board gridder in the wrong win-
dow?the faculty advisor's. The
reporter had a lot of explaining
to do.
Homecoming does hae its dis-
paraging moments.
the eagerness of many fraternity "brothers
to blackball one another. On many occasions,
people have said to me something like this:
"Jim Jones? He was a member of my
fraternity in college, and I knew him well.
He's a bum?a real bum
In the business world, the accuracy of
the recommendations a man gives others
greatly affects his own reputation, and no
old-school-tie sentiment affects the judge-
ment by capable and ambitious men. I sup-
pose some jobs are reserved for down-and-
outers by their fraternity brothers but.
fortunately, government relief programs are
relieving fraternities of these responsibili-
ties.
In any case, really capable students don t
snend their days on campus worrying about
"contacts" for jobs after graduation.
But let's not exaggerate the evils of fra-
ternities. There is nothing vicious about
the boys and girls who join such organiza-
tions. Even those initiaton stunts which
result in fatal accidents, like the one last
winter at M. I. T. are not the product of
evil thinking. They are the result of not
thinking at all.

Under the cai able leadership of
iua.terback Gary Mattocks, the Pi-
rate of Ernst Carolina bested North
itate foe Western Carolina by a
sort of Jo-iy, as some 12,000 Home-
coming fans roared their approval.
The win was EOC's second in con-
ereiice play and gives the Pirates
a 2-1 slate agairust North State teams.
The overall Pirste mark is 2-3.
Motivated by the surge of spirit
displayed by the large throng of
spectators, the men of Coach Jack
Boone displayed an enthusiastic
drive that had not been shown in
earlier contests?the result was vic-
tory well-earned.
Mattocks, the man who has stepped
into Dick Cherry's shoes, turned in

"must win" encounter for East Car-
olina. The threatening position the
Pirates now occupy in the conference
has been greatly jniluenced by this
determined gridder.
The first half was a scoring pa-
rade for both teams. Figuring in
the Pirates scoring were: Mattocks,
Tommy Nash, James Speight, Sonny
Howell, and Bubbfi Matthews. It
wad Speight who .stunned the ca-
pacity crowd with his 67-yard gal-
lo to score. Throughout the evening
the Greenville hoy rifled through
?he Catamount forward wall. At the
end of the first half, the score of
the tontet was in favor of the Pi-
rates, 20-19.
The entire second half of play
was a defensive test with neither
team showing any scoring potential.
?n the closing minutes, the Cata-
mounts made a hid to overcome defeat.
The P.iu forward wall ended this
aspiration on the part of the visitors
by throwing the opponents for costly
losses. As the game ended, Mr.
Mattocks and company had control
of the pigskin and the victory.
There were many standouts an
this Homecoming fray in the con-
fines of College Stadium. In the line
such ; erformers as Pennington, Hoo-
ver, Howell. Dennir. and Faircloth
continually aided the Pirate cause.
In the backfield, the "youth move-
ment" of Coach Boone shone brightly.

more beautiful or cleverly designed.
Many svidents and faculty members

eral appearance of the campus. All

and the success of Homecoming day
in general could be contributed to
the wholesome competitive spirit and
the atmosphere of good fellowship
which is always prevalent among
the students of East Carolina Col-
lege.

This Week's Movie
By ROSEMARY EAGLES
This movie has been at one time or
another a magazine serial, a stage
comedy, and a Broadway play. The
story concerns two ambitious sisters
from Ohio who hit New York City
with a mild explosion.
Witty Betty Garrett is the intel-
lectual type who writes stories about
the antics of her younger sister,
Janet Leigh, whose talent is looks.
In an unbelievably wonderful Green-
wich Village, the girls settle in a
cellar ilat once inhabited by less vir-
tuous young ladies. In their happy
world they are continually bumping
into characters such as their greedy
but colorful landlord, a football play-
er who does laundry, and even the
Portugese navy.
The incomparable Jack Lemmon is
the publisher and gentleman wolf,
who becomes entangled with one of
the sisters. Robert Fosse and Tommy.
Rail do some magnificent dancing.
The whole movie is one bright bub-
ble of fun that leaves everyone
a bit lightheaded.

Budget Committee
Approves New

New appropriations from the Bud-
get committee were approved by the
Stu lent Government Legislature Wed-
nesday night. The following appro-
priations were made: Day Students,
$35; Future Business Leaders of
America, $150; College Choir, $600
(this amount was alloted for the ap-
propriation for the Entertainment Se-
ries); and the Radio Station, $200

Jimmy Phelps was elected by the
legislature to fill the vacancy on
the Budget Committee.
Greenville Banks made a motion
that the S. G. A. engage the "Dream-

taken it. They might come in the new
colors of urn or silver green, medi

Cashmer's have taken on new nov-
elty interest. While other sweaters
