and 14 in McGinnis Auditorium.
A cast of 30 people are included in
the play. There is only one female role
while 29 males compose the crew of
t e U. S. S. Reluctant. This two-act
play enjoyed one of the lengthiest
runs in the L.story of the legitimate

East Carolina audiences since he has
been active in practically every play
sented by the Playhouse in the
iat three years.
Captain Morton
A year ago, in "Detective Story
the role of fiery Detective McLeod
was rortrayed by Al Ca-r of Rocky
Mount. He returns now to play the

Duplicate Copies
Of Code Will Be
Distributed
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
An extensive indoctrination of the
:onor system was given a vote of
pproval by the student legislature
ast night after being recommended
v the Dean's Advisory Council.
A committee studying the possibi-
lities of establishing an honor sys-
tem here suggested that the student
government distribute duplicated
copies of the committee'3 honor code
as a means of indoctrinating the stu-
dents with the proposed honor jlan.
After the students are fully familiar
with the system, Horace Rose, chair-
man of the honor committee, sug-
gested that a new classroom vote be
taken to .iet if mo.v students are in
favor of such a plan.
Earlier Vote
Li an earlier vote in the classrooms,
'he students voted 1,018 for an honor
system and 649 against such a plan,
leaving approximately half of the
students indifferent.
Chairman Rose told the legislature
that one class was allowed to conduct
an informal debate on the honor
Bystem and that most of the class
opposed it, giving the following reas-
' ns for doing so:
1. The students are not ready for
the honor system. Indoctrination
should begin at the first of the fresh-
man year.
2. T'rere is no college tradition about
an honor system. The development of
one would take time and thus would
be of little use now.
3. Even if most of the students
are honest, the few who wouid cheat
would come to a time of reckoning
sooner or later and reflect unfavor-
ably on the college. The student
making this point said nobody could
"get by" indefinitely.
4. A student feels more comfortable
if a proctor is present during the
administration of tests and examina-
tions. When this is the case, be feels
that he cannot be falsely accused
by someone who may not like aim.
He feels also that he is not respons-
ible for reporting offenses.
Judicial Body
The honor code that is being for-
mulated by the student government
committee would establish an Honor
Council which would act as a judicial
body to try cases of students ac-
cused of breaking the honor code.
Of'enses to the honor code listed by
the committee include cheating, lying,
stealing, breaking one's pledged
word of honor, or in any way acting
dishonorably.
It was also pointed out by the com-
mittee that all scholastic work,
whether it be in lecture room, li-
brary, the .student's room, or else-
where is under the honor code; thus
any aid given to a fellow student or
received from a fellow-student, with-
out the consent of the professor, in
tests, assignments or examinations,
is cheating.
Reporting Breach
Under the proposed amendment,
studetttfl who commit one of the in-
ductions of the code will be pledged"
to turn themselves over to the Honor
Council. If one student sees another
ch ating, he will be pledged to re-

Negro Entertainment.
Negroes are among the top entertainers
in the world today.
Personalities such as Louis Armstrong,
Sammy Davis, Jr Pearl Bailey, Eartha Kitt,
Harrv Belafonte, Sarah Vaughn, Fats Domino,
Nat King CAe, and Billy Eckstine are only
a few of the Negro entertainers who are cur-
rently playing in movies, featured stars of out-
standing television shows on all the major
networks, top recording artists, and leading
night club entertainers.
Thev specialize in jazz, the current musi-
cal craze all over the world. This younger
generate n appreciates jazz, especially when it
is presented by top performers as those men-
tioned above.
L uis Armstrong, who has been called one
of America- most influential good-will am-
bassadors by taking his music all ovr the
world, told an Associated Press reporter:
'There's only two kinds (music)?good and
bad. Its no matter where in the world you are.
Just like there's no difference between classics
and jazz. The man writing each had the same
kind of th ught?right from the heart
Quite a few East Carolina students will
pack their bags tomorrow and head for Caro-
lina and the "Mardi Gras" to be held there
1 ver the weekend. The annual affair this year
features a fellom called Louis Armstrong. Fats
Domino was a guest at the University back in

lege's campus last Wednesday night.
L uis Armstrong could have appeared for

recently instead of Tommy Tucker and at
1250 less except for two reasons:
1 Negroes don't entertain at East Caro-
lina College. The c liege charter says this is
an institution for the education of white men
and women only. Nothing is said concerning
Negroes as entertainers, but they don't en-
tain here. .
2 A ruling now in effect (which should
be changed) prohibits having dances except
, t weekends. Les Brown and his outstanding
ip also c. uld have played here instead of
Tucker at $250 less, but the ruling prevented
East Carolina's Student Government As-
sociation Council members last week whole-
heartedly approved including outstanding Ne-
groes on the yearly entertainment series sched-
ule. The recommendation was scheduled to go
.re the student legislature last night.
The East Carolinian doesn't advocate an
entertainment series which includes Negro
-entertainers s lely. We do feel, however, that
when outstanding Negro bands or singers
ran be secured, steps should centamly be
taken to take advantage of such an opportunity.

Southern Writings Come Of Age
As the student legislators attend the SGA
meeting next Wednesday night they will be
faced with one of the most important deeis-
m the history of the college. They will have
Importunity of voting on an amendment
that will introduce the honor system at East
Carolina.
Incidents like the one in which March of
Dimes cannisters were stolen or broken into
and the plight of the Circle K Club's dollar
project have caused some to point out that
honor may be lacking at East Carolina.
S me students feel that if the problem of
stealing and cheating were taken out of the
hands of the instructors and turned over to
the students incidents like these would dis-
appear. .
The honor system would be beneficial not
only to the college, but also to the individual
student. It would attract a high quality of
students and weed out those who are dis-
honorable. It will give the student a sense of
responsibility and a feeling of trustworthiness.
It will assure the student that everyone
has the same opportunity to make good and
it will increase the prestige of the college in
the eyes of its students, the public, and other
colleges and universities.
There are enough students who have ex-
pressed their desire to have the honor system
to indicate that there would be enough that
would obey and enforce it, thereby assuring
its successful operation.
The students have shown in a poll con-
ducted by the administration that they are
in fav r of the honor system and the East
Carolinian joins these in urging the members
of the SGA to pass the proposed amend-
ment that will put it into effect next quarter.
AROUND EIGHT-THIRTY you
head for the cafeteria and breakfast
and discover that the lynchers com-
pleted their job sometime during t.e
eariy morning.
Coach and Mrs. Porter are seen
h aving the post ofice. They don't look
toward the tree.
The stuffed monster hanging there
diJn't resemble Coach Porter at all.
Rather, it reminded you of some of
the people you've met since enrolling
at East Carolina?overstuffed in a
lot of ways.
We hate losing to a smaller school
with a total enrollment less than that
of our freshman class and where
some of our students go to rack up
quality points.
But somebody has to take the
blame. Or rather, some people have
to blame some individual.

ELECTION FEVER is spreading
around campus like a common cold.
If this prevailing interest in the up-
coming SGA election continues, you
can look for a red, hot battle and pos-
sibly a record vote in March. That's
exactly what the newspaper would
like to see. (Interest in student gov-
ernment needs a shot in the arm.
Cam jus politics is being talked in
the college union, the cafeteria, and
in Umstead and Slay?late, late at
night and early in the mornings. The
East Carolinian has received reports
from reliable sources that the presi-
dential race will find only two can-
didates seeking the top office.
Many of the office-seekers have
been campaigning for quite a while.
There have been a lot of plans laid,
a lot of changes made, and as I un-
derstand it, a touch of back stabbing
already.
Those who figure they're playing
it smart (party movements and that
sort of thing) might not be playing
it so smart after all.
And I read somewhere that there's
been only one SGA president from
Greenville during the past 50 years.
Let's see now, next year will run
that figure to 51.
Ever since the early day. of our
nation, there has !ei-n talk of The
Great Southern Renaissance of Lit-
erature. The most outstanding critics,
writers and thinkers down through
the years have anxiously predicted
and awaited this great production
from below the Maon-Dixon line.
Every other section of our country
has already contributed to te ebb
and flow of American Literature,
turning out such notables as the
West's John Steinbeck, the Middle
West's Earnest Hemingway, F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Mark Twain, and the
North East's early mammoths like
Longfellow, O'Neil. Hawthorne, Em-
erson and Thoreau.
Through the ages, the world of
literature has looked toward the
South and ? redicted that soon?some-
time?it would spawn the world lea-
ders in the field of writing. For many
reasons they have wai'ed and looked.
Now, it seems, that time has arrived.
And it has creeped up on those who
waited so anxiously.
Perhaps Thomas Wolfe was the hint
?of things to come. Wolfe took the
taw, lonely plains and hills of North
Carolina and transformed them into
beautiful language. He tried to speak
the unspeakable things of the South-
erner's heart, tried to put onto paper
the loves and fears, the hates and
sorrow- :ind uncertainties that burn
deeply in the Soul of the South?
that undefinable quality that is so
much a part of the Southerner, that
makes him so vastly different and
?part from the rest oT the nation. He
did nol succeed fully, but he came as
close, possibly, as any other writer
of this or any other day.
Since Wolfe, there have come many
great names from this region of the
Country. William Faulkner, of Mis-
si&sippi, Pulitzer Prize winner, is
generally regarded as the world's
top content orary writer today. Faulk-
ner, too, in his way, ha tried to ex-
press the strange, complex face- and
depths of the South.
Another writer of some note, w 0
hails from Georgia, is Truman Capote.
Capote was taken North with his
family early in his life and ha.4 writ-
ten niost.y about life in the city, how-
ever, he has turned out some unique
work about the deep South. Capote's
writing contains a weird element of
the supernatural, weaved into his
tales of tVe South in such a way M
to capture a flicker of the superstition
and feeling of the romantic that still
persists deep in the roots- of our her-
itage.
Tennessee Williams, whose work
is being recognized currently in the
theater, the movies and in book form,
is still another Southerner who has
attempted to depict th meaning of
life in the South. Williams depends
upon stark realism in the dramatic
field for his effect and expression,
using mostly Southern locales and
characterisation. Tnongfe Williams'
writings are rich with the basic moods
and emotion applicable to every
section of our country, he does delve
into the richness of the South for
color, for sectional focus, and for
that same undefinable quality that
is the soul of our region.
Eudora Welty, another ItiaaiMip-
pian, has shown a deep insight into
that same uniqu. Southern person-
met before. Her short
stories, wi ? ? dist act Southern
?; ? ; fee iged to catch
some of I e flavor of tl e coarseness
and primitiveneaa that eiuwines it-
self into the cultuie and gentleness
of the South.
Perhaps the t mergence of Southern
writer as leaders in the field of lit-
erature at this present moment in
modern times, is due to the per-
plexed, drastic, uncertain flavor of
the twentieth century. The South
has long lied under the stress and

A Golden Day
SAUDI ARABIA'S King Saud has
packed up his fancy headpieces, dark
glasses, 75-member party, and haa
taken off for a jaunt in Spain.
He has agreed to let the United
States continue using the Dhahran
airfield for five more years while
Faudi Arabia will receive "military
equipment (jet planes), services and
training Saud's country especially
wanted more jet planes.
The President presented the king
ith"a"16-pieee blond desk set ani an
Elsenhower oil painting of an outdoor
Colorado scene before he left fer
Spain. Just about everything but Ike's
golf bag, I'd say.
March 8, 1907 was indeed a golden
day for some. It was tne day that
East Carolina was founded. I can
only imagine that the Founding Fa-
thers envisioned great things for East
Carolina.
I'll bet they dreamed that fifty
years hence it would be a school of
deep-rooted heritage with an inspir-
ing and motivating atmosphere. This
was the spirit in which East Carolina
was founded.
What would be more ideal than a
. jrreat rebirth of this spirit in the
year of East Carolina's Golden An-
niversary ?
The Founding Fathers left room
for a lot. They left room for in-
tellectual growth and maturity?not
only the maturity that comes with
years, but also the maturity that
cornea with effort.
Motivation comes as a desire on
the part of the individual as a re-
sult of inspiration and the proper in-
centive. So where will our inspiration
spring from in this desire to found a
renaissance of spirit?
To whose lot falls the task of re-
newing the spirit in which East Caro-
lina had its beginning? Where and
10 whom do the students look for
inspiration? -
First of all, who says that East
Carolina is lacking in these elements?
Most of the complaints that I hear
are from the instructors. Many blame
the students for lack of initiative
m learning on their own out of class.
Most professors that I have.have
stressed that we discuss things in
class. They claim we have no desire
to go to the library and dig for
background and parallel reading. They
say students do not read good books
for their own enjoyment and knowl-
edge. Criticism came especially high
during religious emphasis week when
there was such a poor turnout of
student.
I think most of their criticsm is
justi'ied and, in many respects, true.
I believe that these points are among
those that are holding East Caro-
lina back from full-fledged maturi-
ty, tf! believe that?in some respects?
the students are lacking in initiative
and it comes up to the surface in
the surrounding atmosphere. At the
same time, I believe the students
have an understandable plight.
They are right, religious emphasis
week experienced a poor turnout. But
how many professors did you see
at the meetings? A mere handfull.
I'll bet the students who do their
studies in the library every night
could vouch that they don't see all
the faculty over there and those
they see are the same ones night af-
ter night. How many instructors do
you have that allow, through their
method and manner, class discussion?
How many professors ask you to
come to their office and have a talk
and how many go nut of their way
to establish a eraonsl contact with
the studentIt ia the out-of-class re-
lationship t at inspires the student.
It is the personal touch that pro-
vides the incentive for learning. How
many make you aware that they are
constantly stiiving to help YOU?the
individual?to learn?
East Carolina needs a renaissrnce
in spirit and atmosphere. An intel-
lectual movement is needed to help
it achieve its ideal. The faculty should
take the responsibility in leading any
intellectual movement. It is here and
only here that IN can look for ins-
piration.
It is time that "East Caroiinianism"
came of age. It should take on a new
meaning?one which implies motiva-
tion, inspiration, and maturity, rather
than the sluggard, lifeless connota-
tion that the term has 1.
There is only one thing keeping
East Carolina from growing up. In-
dolence. Indolence in the leaders, re-
s'tlting in indolence on the part of
the followers.
It would be great if we all lived
fifty more years and were able to
come hack to East Carolina's cen-
tennial celebration. It would be ideal
if we could find a college of heritage,
honor, and above all, maturity.
It would be t golden day indeed.

Havana. Cuba, Jan. 7. 1"
Dear Students,
I don't want this letter to Bound

how much Americans have for which I
thankful. Perhaps you have seen in the

young men in that area had leen I and

If you were a university student,
would have had several weeks of vacation
before the Christmas holidays began. How
wonderful, I can hear you say. The stu-
dents here don't think so. You see. it means
that someday they'll finish their course but
who knows when. Each time political trouble
comes, the university is closed for fear the
students will take part as a mob.
One other thing, appreciate your sch
Cuba has free public education but the
schools are so poor, the teachers are so
unconcerned (speaking in general) about
the students as individuals that any parent
who possibly can will pay to send his child
to a private school. Appreciate the interest-
ing textbooks, Audio-visual aids, student
council, and the usually friendly atmosphere
between students and teachers.

Swimmers Triumph
The powerful swimmers of ECC
smashed Duke University's varsity
ta ikers 75-1 last weekend in Mem-
orial Pool to claim their seventh win
of the set-on against three losses
aa d a tie.
The victory over 'ht t?antic Coast
Conference club was their most de-
cisive of the year. Coach Ray Mar-
ies' hoys walked away with every
first place of the 10-evcut affair.
They also copped all but one of the
second ositions.
Jim Meads and Harold MeK.ee
grabbed two firsts each. Other firsts
went to Oliver, Miugette, Sawyer and
the 400-yard Medley relay team and
400-yard Freestyle team.
Elsey took Duke's only second place
in the 200-yard backstrike.
CHAPEL HILL?East Carolina's
immers rounded out their 1956-67
season with a powerful performance
in the North Carolina Collegiate
Championships, here, Monday night
Though no official team points were
kept, the Pirate club ranked second
only to North Carolina in th? unof-
ficial tallies. The meet brought to-
gether Big Four teams from Caro-
iiia. N. C. State and Duke along with
East Carolina.
Only individual scores were kept
for t e big meet, and East Carolina's
club bad an outstanding array of
individuals. Every man who went to
the meet placed.
Coach Kay Martinez stated after-
wards that he was "quite pleased"
with his club's performance. He
pointed out that in the meet, each
team was allowed to enter three
players for each event. There were
eats to whittle down the field and
only six scoring places were possible.
Fast Carolina scored within the six
in each and every event.
Every first place was captured by
either Carolina or State, with the
exception of Bob Sawyer's first in
the 200 yard backstroke. Sawyer,
East Carolina's top candidate for
All-American honors, hag been de-
feated only once in that event this
season. He lost to Carolina's All-
America Charlie Krepp in an earlier
match. Krepp did not perform in that
event Monday night.
Martinez praised Ken Midyette,
ECC diver, as one of th? biggest Buc
standouts in the trial. Midyette
grabbed second place honors in the
diving events, only 10 points behind
the first position and 15 better than
third.
Others who placed for ECC weie
Harold McKee, Dickie Denton, Jim-
my Meads, Jack Koebberling, Sid
Oliver, Teddy Gartman, Glenn Dyer.
Martinez also reported early this
week that the home meet with Wake
Forest, scheduled to take place in
memorial pool this weekend, has
been cancelled by the Baptists.
It is little wonder. In their earlier
meeting this year, ECC trounced the
Deacons 53-23 and broke nine Wake
Forest pool records.
With that final match cancelled,
the Pirates have put the wraps on
their third swimming season. It has
been one of the most successful to
date. They posted seven wins, three
losses and one tie. And this came
against some of the top competition
in the nation.
Pirate Jayvees
Still Undefeated
In Kine Contests
Under the guidance of Coach Earl
Smith, the East Carolina Jayvees
have gone undefeated thus far in
nine consecutive ball games.
Smith, assisted by Head Coach
Howard .Porter, has used a group

to mold the 1956-57 jayvee outfit into
the most successful of such teams

Students' Honor Can Be

Club sponsored a project in which
fhe students would be the recipients.
The club put one dollar per day for
five days on the Student Union bul-
letin board ioi students that come to
the soda shop and discover that they
are broke. Along with the dollar bill,
there was a paper stating the purpose
for the money being there. The only
stipulation was that a student had
to .ay the dollar back to any of the
Circle K members within one week.
Today, one month later, the Circle
K has not received back a single
dollar.

To the editor:
Please allow me to congratulate
you and your staff on what I regard
as a splendid editorial page, that in
the February 7 number of East Caro-
linian. All too often, it seems to me,
are the editorial pages of our college
and university papers drowned in
.small beer. But whatever trivia ap-
pears on your editorial page of Feb-
ruary 7 seems to me to contribute
to the judicious balance that made
this page such a real pleasure to read.
There was just the right blending
of the serious, the whimsical, the
philosophical, the critical, the specu-
lative, and the humorous. Moreover,
there was a refreshing absence of the
sophomoric inanity and cliche and
of the puerlity that from time to time
characterize collegiate journalism.
Kudos to you, Mr. Harrison, Miss
Raby, Mr. Williams, and to Miss Wil-
son! Mr. Arnold's cartoon provided a
timely and very funny garish.

The proposed honor council which
will : ear cases of breach against the

regular members of whom four shall

Honor System
The proposed honor code is pat-
terned after a similar code established
at William and Maty in 1779. The
ence of the code is individual re-
s' onsibility. It assumes that the
principles of honorable conduct are
familiar and dear to all students; it
assumes that every student is deeply
concerned with the strict observance
of these principles, for his own sake,
for the .ake of his associates, and
for the sake of the college.

Pierce Selected For
Teacher Of Creative
Writing- Course Here
Creative writing, being offered at
Bast Carolina for the first time, will
be taught Spring quarter by Ovid
Pierce, author of "The Plantation"
and member of the English depart-
ment here. A three hour course em-
phasis will be on the short story with
the Bubri issfrn of two or three short
stories h tl ; students.
Approximately twenty students
have signed up for this subject for
which no textbook will be required.
The first class meetings will be used
to describe the criteria and problems
of the short story. Ira the next series
of classes students' works will be
read and then criticized by the wri-
ters and the teacher.
Mr. Pierce stated that there would
be no limitation of subject matter;
the interests of those in the course
would determine its composition.
While there are no restrictions upon
those signing up Mr. Pierce said that
they should have a genuine interest
in writing. He beleives that indivi-
dual attention is necessary, but also
that no course taught anywhere can
teach a student how to write. The
most a teacher can do is help a stu-
dent discover himself.
Chosen by the administration to
teach this original course, Ovid Pierce
has had previous experience at Sou-
thern Methodist University and Tu-
lane in creative writing courses.
