Solons To Discuss Negro
Entertainers At Meeting
Negro entertainment
tor a battle on the legislature floor
of the student government tonight,
according to President Dock Smith.
The controversial subject which
previously has been discussed and
overwhelmingly approved by the Exe-
cutive Council of the SGA has been
withheld from the student legisla-
ture because "it was thought that
Negro entertainment would violate
the school charter
However, President Smith and a
student government committee who
have been investigating the possibili-
ties of obtaining Negro entertainment
for the school contacted North Caro-
lina Attorney General George Pat-
ton and found out that such enter-
tainment would not violate the school
charter.
Violate Charter
It was originally believed that since
the East Carolina charter states that
this institution was for tihe education
of white men and women only, Negro
entertainment would be considered
education and thus violate the chart-

Phelps Calls
For Co-operation
In Legislature
Smith told the newspaper that the
Attorney General said in a telephone
conversation last week that this was
not the case and that the entertain-
ment would be perfectly legal as
far as the school charter was con-
cerned.
He said that the Attorney General
pointed out, however, that this was
an administrative problem.
Smith Comments
?Commenting on what action he ex-
pected the legislature to take on the
much-debated subject, Smith said
that he expected a vote of approval.
"I feel that we are missing out on
some of the top people in the en-
tertainment field he continued, "by
not having colored entertainment on
our campus

entertainment venture are Bucky

President Messick Comments
We have come to the fiftieth anniversary of the date on
which the charter was granted for our splendid institution. As
is fitting for such an occasion, we are concentrating two out-
standing programs for Thursday and Friday, March 7 and 8.
There will be no classes on Thursday from 9:00 until
11:00 so that you will have the opportunity to hear three of Amer-
ica's outstanding men, Senator Monroney, Congressman Hill-
ings, and John Metcalfe, an international news correspondent.
Again, Thursday afternoon, you will have an opportunity to hear
them and at 7:30 that evening. Please avail yourselves of this
opportunity to gain in wisdom by listening to and discussing the
world situation with these men.

Jimmy Phelps has filed his
candidacy for the SGA presi-
dency and will oppose Eddie
Dennis in the general election on
March 21.
The Greenville native has
proposed a thirteen-point plat-
form in which he says he isn't
"making any foolish or out-
landish campaign promises
Phelps emphasizes "co-opera-
tion between the students and
the SGA and between the SGA
and the administration He ad-
vocates a "bigger and better East
Carolinian" and would set up a
committee to revise the SGA
constitution.
"This will tend to create a
more harmonious atmosphere
and will let everyone know what
is happening he said, com-
menting on the importance of
co-operation.

and his plans to revise our present
constitution Phelps explains, "If na-
tional advertisements are removed
from the papJ it will give more
room for club and religious news.
"The constitution contradicts It-
self. It needs to be corrected, re-
worded, and brought up to date
Phelps, who is currently president
of social fraternity Kappa Sigma
Nu, fails to make any mention of
the future of such organizations in
his platform.
He has been active in campus poli-
tics since his freshman year when
he was elected vice-president of his
class and took over the presidency
later in the year.
Other Points
The remainder of his platform
and his comments on the individual
points included:
4. Stady existing standing commit-
tees.
"Find out if present committees
are functioning properly. Can they
be improved?"
5. Obtain an evaluation of the park-
ing system.
"See if it is accomplishing every

Dennis Wants
ipperclassmen
Privileges
Eddie Dennis will be a can-
didate for the presidency of the
student Government Association
in the campus-wide election on
March 21.
He announced his decision this
week and released an eight-point
nlatform in which he places em-
phasis on upperclassmen privi-
leges in that they be allowed a
more lenient cut system, calls
for better entertainment and
dances on campus, and asks for
a revision of the present exam-
ination schedule.
A junior from Durham, Den-
nis has served this year as chair-
man of the Men's Judiciary. He
has held positions on various
SGA committees during his three
vears here, and is active in fra-
ternity and other organizational
activities.
"In the event that X am elected, I
hope to fulfill the duties and obliga-
tions of the office of president of the
Student Government Association in
the best interest of the entire student
body he wrote in a letter to the
newspaper.
Platferm
Dennis' platform and his comments
on the various points include.
1. Upperclassmen privileges.
"I want to see the upperclassmen
allowed a more lenient cut system. It
appears to me that by your junior
and senior year of college a student
should be emotionally mature enough
to realize when he should cut a class
an-1 when he should not. Students
should be allowed to accept mere
responsibility as part of their college
training.
"Also, I would like to see the up-
perclassmen allowed one late per-
mission a week (this is set st 1 a. m.
at some of the other universities and
colleges in the state.) I would desire
the present late permission which is
given for dances extended to i I. m.
2. Better entertainment and dances
on campus.
"I want to get some big name bends
on campus?Bands like Ray Anthony,
Louis lArmstrong, the late Glenn
Miller's band, Harry Belafonte, and
others.
3. Revision of exam schedule.
"There should be at least one day
between the last day of classes and
the first day of exams. Also, there
is no excuse for a teacher giving a
regular test during the aame week
that exams are to be given as was
the case in several instances this
past quarter,

Election Day Nears
March 21 is electionday.
Only a small minority of HEst Carolina's
students follow the activities of their sto-
dent legislature, and many are completely
oblivious of its existence or function This
has always been true at East Carolina. Edi-
torials on the subject have been published in
this newspaper every year since it has been
published.
It is the duty of every student enrolled
here to go to the polls March 21 and help choose
the 1957-58 student legislature?the people
who will decide how your $11 activity fee is
to be distributed. Unless the people who will
never take time to go to the polls make a
special effort to do so on March 21, the vote
will again be only one-third of the student
body as it vbs in the controversial social fra-
ternity poll.
Both platforms of two presidential can-
didates appear on page one of this week's is-
sue. The East Carolinian has heard that others
plan to run. but they are announcing their
candidacy to? late to receive publicity in this
week's issue.
The Eddie Dennis-Jimmy Phelps battle
should prove to be one of the most interesting
to come along in recent years. They have par-
ticipated actively in student government work
and campus politics since their freshmen years
here, know their way around student govern-
ment circles, and are seemingly interested in
seeing East Carolina's legislature go forward.
We were surprised to learn that Phelps
fails to touch the social fraternity situation
at all in his platform.
He is a staunch advocate of such organi-
z.tti ns and was one of the leaders of the
movement which brought them to East Caro-
lina. We hope now that they are here, their
organization and activities will be controlled
in the proper way in order that our college
will find them beneficial.
Undoubtedly Phelps failed to mention
social fraternities because he was afraid of
the accusation that he would be supporting
only that group. Or, maybe it was because he
knew that support from these organizations
was already won for his cause. Whatever the
reason, we are sure that his first political
love is for social fraternities.
Even though the East Carolinian would
like to see social fraternities thrive here, we
think it would be unwise for the student gov-
ernment president to be too engrossed in fra-
ternities, and such a person could probably be
more beneficial as president of the inter-fra-
ternity council.
The East Carolinian has decided which
candidate we will support. All that we ask of
the students is that they will support one of
the candidates and above all?VOTE on March
21.
Changes Needed
A great deal has been said and done about
fraternities in the past two years, and the
most recent step taken by the fraternity-mind-
ed people is the forming of an Inter-Fraterni-
ty Council.
Last quarter, when steps to form such a
council were being contemplated, SGA presi-
dent Dock Smith said that the success of
fraternities here depends upon the progress
made by the council which governs these or-
ganizations.
In recent months the jlnter-Frfetemity
Council has taken concrete and definite steps
which should help the fraternities survive the
probationary period that they are now under-
going.
The East Carolinian feels, however, that
the actions taken thus far are in a one-sided
direction as far as the whole school is con-
cerned in the fact at the first two council
meetings only social fraternities have been re-
presented.
It seems that if the council is to accom-
plish the purpose for which it is being es-
tablished?namely, to keep the local fraterni-
ties in line while acting on the local social
level?that all fraternal groups whether honor-
ary, service, or social should be included.
To regulate and co-ordinate just the social
groups would be only a third of the story as
far as East Carolina is concerned. The other
groups on campus which have dances, parties,
and initiations need to be included in the fra-
ternity council or else the whole idea will be
somewhat of a farce.
In other words, the council would have
its main purpose the regulating of the fraterni-
ty activities, such as establishing dates for
the big fraternity dances in order to avoid
conflicts, cor-ordinating initiation programs,
and ether activities associated with social,
service and to some extent honorary fraterni-
ties.
At East Carolna, the latter two types of
fraternities are older and more established
than the other type?social. Hence, many of
the activities of the social fraternities and of
a social fraternity council would be to some
extent dependent upon the older groups.
Therefore, before a great deal is done
and time is lost, the East Carolinian feels that
the fraternity council should see that all in-
terested groups are invited to participate in
activities that affect all of the fraternal organi-
zations.

THERE'S A LADY in FayettevUle
who says, "It seems to me that tea-
chers are never satisfied
That's what Margaret Taylor McMa-
han told 125,000 newspaper readers
recently via a column which includes
letters to the editor. Every school
teacher in North Carolina and all
East Carolina students, who plan to
teach and understand the duties of
teachers today, should write her a
personal letter, expounding the plight
of these underpaid, overworked, and
misunderstood people.
VgfewPfc;
SHE SAYS a good teacher could
never be i?"d for his or her services,
but believes the pay comes in the joy
of the work and the inner satisfaction
of a job well done.
No one can make a living for them-
selves on joy and satisfaction, not
even a school teacher. I suppose the
teacher is to eat the daily apple
Johnny brings, smile, and proceed
to teach Johnny how to read.
AND THIS LADY from Fayette-
vUle can actually cite cases where
"some of them go home every week-
end and contribute nothing to the
community where they make their
living
Any teacher, who has any initiative
at all, will contribute just as much to
a community during the five days he
or she is teaching as other members
of the community.
After five days together, the tea-
cher needs a change as well as the
students. But this lady would probably
have the teachers spend Saturday in
th? corner drugstore sharing ice
cream sodas with their students, Sat-
urday night playing cards with the
? arents?"Pass . . . and I just can't
understand Johnny's low average in
math"?or watching television?
"Doesn't Johnny have a smile like
Perry Como?"
Then there'd be Sunday School with
Johnny, church with Johnny, Sunday
dinner with Johnny, more cards, and
more television. And Monday morning
would find everyone hustling and
bustling with excitement . . . Johnny
must learn to read.
Teachers will never be able to do
enough for people like the Fayette-
ville woman.
ACCORDING TO the FayettevUle
lady, teachers?just because they are
teachers?have many advantages de-
nied other people. . .wonderful hours,
many holidays and three months du-
ring wihich time they can study and
travel abroad.
Most teachers will ask, "On what?
The FayettevUle lady would have
all our female teachers old maids.
?"Society would be better off if a
good many of them would stay home
and look after their households and
net be working to make a new in-
vestment here and there
A teacher with children can under-
stand better the problems in her
classroom because she has experi-
enced such situations in her own home.
She won't be making extemporaneous
decisions along the punishment line.
SHE SAYS, "My husband goes to
work when it is black dark and in
winter H is black dark when he gets
home again
Well, maybe he'd have it that way.
I wonder if she's ever heard of
lesson plans, grading papers, reports,
and that sort of thing.
She thinks Governor Hodges "is a
a-reat governor, the best we've ever
had
That's what some of his supporters
are saying, too.
"If he recommends a 9.1 per cent
raise he does so only after careful
study of the over-all picture and a
long-range view of the whole pro-
gram she continues.
And in conclusion, "Governor Hod-
ge8 is doing the beat he can for every-
body?the teachers included

I'VE HEARD something about a
raise for the Governor, members of
the Council of State, and everybody
knows that truck drivers are doing
fine.
Governor Hodges fought for the
Pearsall Plan so educational standard
in North Carolina couldn't be lowered.
Now why doesn't he fight for that
19.31 per cent pay raise for teachers?
They're operating North Carolina's
ed"cational system.
The lady from FayetteviMe could be
anyone from the neice of the Super-
intendent of .Public Schools to Gov-
ernor Hodges' sister. I dont know her.
But I wouldn't be surprised to hear
of her walking the streets in Fayette-

Potpourri
Ben Franklin
By JAN RABY
?
Bryan Harrison

Poor Richard's Black Book
No doubt you have already read
Jan Raby'a column, Pot Pourri, ap-
pearing at the top right-Land corner
of this page. Her column has a better
spact- and bigger type than mine. We
are both treating the same topic this
week, a mutual favorite -Benjamin
Franklin and The Thirteen Points.
Benjamin Franklin?, hilosopher,
scientist, inventor, diplomat, moralist,
wrer. Poor Richard and hi.s al-
manac. Poor utilitarian Ben and his
Memoirs.
It is in "his Memoirs that he gives
us fiis famou.? Thirteen Points. Ben
had a little black book in which he
kept a record of his virtue. Every
time he made a booboo he put a check
by the virtue which he violated. At
the end of Che week he counted
hi.s .sins on the moral tally sheet. He
figured if he concentrated on a par-
ticular virtue every week, that by
the end of thirteen weeks lie would be
the perfect man.
Thirteen easy lessons in moral per-
fection. Gamble a three-cent postage
.stam. and send o'f for Ben Frank-
lin's thirteen-week virtue-building
course. You too can be the perfect
man.
Of course, you get all this non-
sense in English 210 and Miss Raby
as already listed it, but just for
fun of it, let's do it again.
The Thirteen Points:
1. Temperance. Eat not to fullness;
drink not to elevation. (It's too bad
Ben didn't define fullness. I always
pictured him as a fat man.)
2. Silence. Speak not but what may
benefit others or yourself (I
guess that shuts my water off.)
i Order. Let all things have their
places; let each part of your business
have its time. (Does that include
departmental meetings?)
4. Resolution. Resolve to perform
what you ought; perform wthout fail
what you resolve. (On my honor, I
will do my best . . . )
r. Frugality. Make no expense but
to do good to others or yourself . . .
(Which costs little.)
6. Industry. Lose no time; be al-
ways employed in something useful;
cut off all unnecessary actions.
(Shucks! No more beer and televi-
sion.)
7. Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit;
think innocently and justly, and speak
accordingly. (What if your dirty mind
won't let you think innocently?)
8. Jutice, Wrong none by doing in-
juries, or omitting the benefits that
are your duty. (Such as helping old
ladies across the street.)
i Moderation. Avoid extremes; for-
bear resenting injuries so much as
you think they deserve. (Okie Dokie.)
10. Cleanliness. Tolerate no un-

or unavoidable. (Be not disturbed if
you break your neck in an unavoid-
able accident.)
12. Chastity. Rarely use venery but

13. Humility. Imitate Jesus and Soc-
rates.
The type of humility displayed in
this iast statement has always amused
me. Imitate Jesus and Socrates. Ben
doesn't ask for much in the humility
department.
Needless to say, Ben's black-book
system didn't work. I doubt if it
lasted thirteen weeks. At any rate,
Ben wasn't morally perfect.
Poor Richard. Hig Thirteen Points

Franklin's best field was diplomacy.
He went to France to borrow money
for the American colonies. He played
with some big boys over in Europe,
but he came out on top. I can hardly
understand how anyone so success-
ful as a world diplomat have such
a naive conception of human beings
as illustrated in his list of virtues. I
can hardly believe he did. But if he
didn't, why was he so intent in pull-
ing a fast one on the reader. Per-
haps he was becoming mellow in his
old age
Ben Franklin, writer. Bosh. At his
best he was a champion cliche ex-
pert. Ben Franklin, the great Ameri-
can philosopher. Hogwash! One of
those homespun philosophers who
peered at the world over his rose
colored bifocals.

The Handiwork Of Fifty Years
The campus as we see it today is
the handiwork of fifty years of plan-
ning, construction, renovation, land-
scaping, and expansion.
From an empty expanse of acres
of sand and a few natural groves of
trees blossomed ifortih a thriving
institution of higher learning, now
claiming the fourth largest enroll-
ment of colleges and universities in
the state. The students kept coming,
through the days of racoon coats to
camel's hair, the Charleston to Be-
Bop-A-Lula, Alexander's Ragtime
Band to Whiffenpoof.
The men and women who guided
and enriched the college's phenomen-
al growth and progress during this
half a century will be forever re-
membered through the various physi-
cal facilities bearing their names.
Senator James L. Fleming of Pitt
County who introduced the bill for
the establishment of East Carolina
Teachers Training School and Gov-
ernor Thomas J. Jarvis who helped
locate the school in Greenville' are
honored by two women's dormitories.
From Original Faculty
Two lother -women's dormitories
are named for W. H. Ragsdale and
C. W. Wilson, both of the original
faculty. Three activity buildings bear
the names of original faculty mem-
bers Herbert E. Austin, Maria D.
Graham, and President Robert H.
Wright. Davis Arboretum' commemo-
rates Sallie Joyner Davis of the origi-
nal faculty; and the Mamie E. Jen-
kins Faculty-Alumni House is another
of the original fourteen.
Five faculty members who gave
many years of service to the college
are paid homage to by Slay Hall for
a director of the sociology depart-
ment; Adelaide E. Bloxton Home
Management House for a head of
the uume economics department;
John B. Christenbury Memorial Gym-
nasium for a coach who lost his. life
in World War ill; M. L. Wright
Circle for a head of the sociology
department; and Wahl-Coates Train-
ing School for Miss Wahl, current
principal of the school, and Miss
Coates, teacher.
Spillman Administration Building
has been dedicated to a former busi-
ness manager of the college; and Mc-
Ginnis Auditorium, to a former regis-
trar, director of field services, and
acting president.
.Erwin Hall, Joyner Library, Gar-
rett Hall, Flanagan Building, and
Flanagan Sylvan Theatre all carry
the names of former members or
chairmen o-f the college Board of
Trustees.
Cotten Hall is so entitled in honor
of Mrs. Sallie Southall Cotten, a
writer and leader in North Carolina;
and Umstead Hall, in honor of the
late Governor William B. Umstead.
The Gates
Bearing the names of five lady edu-
cators are the gates at the Fifth
Street entrances to the campus: Miss
Kate Beckwith, first lady principal
(Dean of Women); Miss Elisabeth
Hyman and Miss Ann iRedwine, for-
mer members of the training school
faculty; Miss Kate W. Lewis of the
original faculty; and Miss Ola Ross,
for many years assistant registrar.
Today the once barren fields bear
the fruits of labor of those who came
before us. The first steps toward
beautification of the campus grounds
were taken by the late Jacques Bus-
bee, . a noted North Carolina artist
who won fame as the owner and
operator of Jugtown Potteries. Un-
der his direction were planted the
first camellia bushes in front of
Austin Building.
Landscaping
Really extensive landscaping started
in the 1930's under the administra-
tion of Dr. Wright. On the sugges-
tion of Mr. W. L. Wright 300 or
400 more camellia bushes were plant-
ed as well as various other shrubs,
cedars, magnolias, holly trees, etc.
Wright Circle was designed and tfce
broad, swampy area behind Graham
Building was converted into a Jap-
anese sunken lake complete with
little bridges and boats and flanked
with weeping willows. Later this
was drained and Davis Arboretum
was planted, content with a little
stream winding beneath the pines
and cherry trees and other saplings.
The arboriculture continues, with
100 pink and white dogwoods being
planted just last year around the
Flanagan Sylvan Theatre.
Building continues, with two new
men's dormitories on blueprint now.

When Nobody Wanted
East Carolina
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
After a half-century of continued
gress, few people today can remember
East Carolina had a small college of ar
a hundred students, a handful of build
and less than a dozen teachers.
In the first place, very few peoph
living today who were interested in i
Carolina in its beginning years. How
there is one person?Mr. Haywood Di
Greenville?who was vitally inter- 51
establishing a teachers' college here and
can remember not only the beginning
ef East Carolina's history, but even fui
back when there was a great deal of
position to even having such an instilut
During an interview with Mr. Da
week, the old gentleman of 78 recall
years when he was a young man of 28
very interested in a movement to obt.
college for this area.
Mr. Dail recalls the hard time that ?
interested people in this area had in g
a bill to establish a college through the
legislature.
"All the old-line educators were agai
a teachers' college Mr. Dail explain-
"They thought that it would take api
priations from the University
Afer a long struggle, however, the
good news came through to Greenville :
Mr. Jim Fleming, state senator from the
Pitt County district and father of Mr. Jar
Fleming of the Foreign Language Depart-
ment, wired from Raleigh: "Bring up
port from Greenville, I've got mv fool in
the door
Mr. Dail remembers traveling to Rah
with Governor Jarvis, Dr. Laughingho
R. J. Cobb and a small group of Green
residents and later returning with a $25,
appropriation for a college to be established
somewhere in Eastern Carolina.
"But the work had just begun with
Mr. Dail went on to say. "Rockv Mount and
Elizabeth City were making bids for the
college, and the people of Greenville and
Pitt County were not particularlv inte-
rested
"We just can't leave such an indel
ness on our children the main opposition
usually complained.
After another hard struggle, Greenville
and Pitt County decided to float a bond
issue of $100,000, and the college was award-
ed to this area.
"Even after this, there was still a great
deal of opposition and resentiment the old
man continued.
"I recall meeting one of my best friends
on the street a few days after the bond
vote, and boy was he boiling
"Told you that this college was gonna
ruin us. My taes are twice as much as
ever before the old-timer grumbled.
Mr. Dail asked to examine the old man
tax receipt and found that the college bond
tax was only four cents. "I gave him a
nickle and told him that I would pay his
bond tax as long as I lived Mr. Dail
chuckled.

Robert H. Wright was a man of high
ideals and of unusual foresight and
courage. For twenty-five years he
guided the development of the school.
Dr. Wright saw the institution become
an accredited college offering both the
bachelor and the master's degrees
and won for it a position of prestige
oth in and out of the state.
The college was fortunate too in
its first faculty of fourteen members,
who became a stabilizing force in the
early years. A quarter century after
the school first opened, five of the
original faculty were still working
side by side with President Wright,
Miss Sallie Joyner Davis of the his-
tory department, Mis.s Maria D.
Graham of the mathematics depart-
ment. Miss Kate V. Lewis of the art i
department, Miss Mamie E. Jenkins
of the English department, and Dr.
Leon R. Meadows.
Alter President Wright's death in
1934, Dr. Meadow.s was chosen presi-
dent and served until 1944.
After his resignation, Dr. EL J-
McGinnis of the faculty was acting
president until the appointment in
1945 of East Carolina's third presi-
dent. Dr. Dennis H. Cooke, now pres-
ident o: High Point College headed
the school for a year.
Messick Becomes President
Jn ly47 East Carolina entered a
period of phenomenal progress marked
by expansion of physical facilities,
growth in number of students and
staff members, and development of
new fields of service to education in
the .state. These developments are
de largely to the capable leadership
of East Carolina's president for the
past ten years, Dr. J. D. Messick.
Enrollment has more than tripled
will include a since 1947. The 1955-1956 average
enrollment of 3254 men and women
taking work on the campus and this
year's total to date of 3502 indivi-
dual students present a sharp con-
trast to the '104 females and 19 males"
who began their studies on October
5, 1909.
Six building were ready for use
by the first students. In 1947 there
were twenty-two. Recent additions
to the physical plant are impressive
but are still not adequate for the
work of the growing school.
In many obvious and many subtle
ways, the presence of an institution
of learning means an increase in both
educational and cultural advantages
for the people. So East Carolina mean.s
a better and fuller life .for Eastern
North CaroMna in particular and for
the state in general.

Messick Anticipates Future
Needs In College's Growth
I have been requested by the editors of the East Caro-
linian to venture a guess, or predict the future of the college or
its status fifty years from now. That's an impossible task but
one that Jules Verne would tackle?and so must I.
Following a recent survey made by Space Utilization
Analysis Incorporated, of New York, they predicted that en-
rollment in 1965 at East Caro-
lina will be 5800. If this predic-
tion is true, by 1970 this num-
ber should be increased to at
least 7500, and by the year
2000, according to the way pop-
uiati n is growing, there will
have to be either many other
lieges or the enrollment here
HI pr-bably be 15,000.
Looking forward to the
nr A f' r expansion, the Gen-
eral Assembly is being asked
for money to purchase land a-
cros Fourteenth Street, which
w uld double the size of the
?resent campus, and if tall
' tutdinga were erected a large
'lumber of students could be ac-
o modated. With the increase
in number of students the history of colleges everywhere has
been that the curriculum, likewise, has necessarily expanded.
Fifteen years ago" no one predicted that Florida State College
for W men would now be Florida State University, Tallahassee,
with its marvelous plant, large student body and diversified
curriculum.
I would predict that some day, but probably not in my
Lime, that East Carolina vould be an institution similar to Flor-
ida St:ite University at Tallahassee. Within the immediate fu-
ture, perhaps within the next ten years, there should be a School
of Agriculture and a School cf Nursing on our campus, and
graduate work for the Master's degree should be expanded. Not
nearly enough teachers are being educated for the junior col-
le.s'and lower levels of the senior colleges. We placed eleven
?uch people last year, who have the Master's degree; there is
n increasing need for nrre colleges to expand their programs
!ti this direction. Not new, but possibly just a few years hence,
the Doctor of Education decree may become necessary in var-
ious fields f teacher education, supervision and administration.
N curriculum, however, should be expanded until there is an
absolute need as shown bv the number who demand it, else
trjo rtrocram v-ould be undulv expensive.

Looking Back Over The Years
in 1909 a reputation as
Mrs. Susie W. Webb, at one time a
coed here and now the Alumni sec-
retary, has watched East Carolina
progress for over a quarter of a
century.
Interestingly enough, after a quar-
ter of a century, another Sue Hve3
in room 80 Wilson. The first Susie
Williams is today Mrs. Webb, who
first claimed room 80 her college
home.
She recalls that the attic once
caught fire. After the usual yell of
"man on the hall" firemen trooped
through. President Wright made an
appearance m room 80 to investigate
the upheaval, lit was quite an honor
to be visited by the college president,
especially in one's own dormitory
room.
When Mrs. Webb returned to the
college ten years ago she was given
her old laundry mark. She still has
a pair of knickers to prove it.
Her roommate was Ann Garris,
now Mrs. D. W. McPherson of Little-
i ton. They have retained their college
j friendships to today. "We still have
much in common commented Susie,

interests of the college life.

cept during summer sessions. At the most prominent was Jane Hall, the
present men students outnumber the
women.
Probably the rule that would amuse
coed most today is that girls had to
wear hats and gloves when they went
uptown. Chains were put across most
of the gateways leading into the
campus. The girls dubbed these the
"Saturday Evening Posts
Styles
She remembers President Wright
once discussing styles since 1909 and
Mis.s Mamie Jenkins sitting on the
stage in a very stylish outfit, her
skirt barely touching her knees Miss
Jenkins, a charter member of the
"acuity, died recently.
"Most of the faculty peo:ie whom
I knew as a freshman live within
walking distance. Misses Greene,
W-ahl. McGee, Hooper, Turner, Wil-
liams, Grigsby, and the gentlemen:
Drs. Adams, Frank, Cummings, and
Picklesimer. A dozen or so alumni
rue on the faculty and an additional
number are administrative assistants
Susie laughed, "I believed it was Dr.
Haynes who suggested that graduates
teach two years in a place. 'If you
or't marry, move over
It was reported that 200 girls signed
up for geography once and then learn-
ed that Dr. Cummings was married.
Fai?:ous Classmates
Several of Susie's classmates have
become quite famous. One of the
North Carolina newspa; er woman who
goes to Europe this fall on a large
scholarship to study art.
"It was said that Jane Hall took
everyt ing from anthropology to
itchology
Usually when guests are at the
Webb horn someone tactfully hints
for a cup of hot tea. Two years ago
she ga e Lois Ann a dance at the
Alumni House for her sixteenth birth-
!ay. She grinned, "I really wasn't
supposed to do that but since so
many high school sophomores, juniors,
and seniors were invited, I explained
to Dr. Messick that it was a good high
school day
Susie proved a point. This year
the largest number of Greenville High
.students are enrolled here, 64 out of
the '56 graduating class of 96 stu-
dents.
?tes a student at three-fifths the
?mount that is appropriated (per
capita for the University system,
North Carolina College at Durham,
Pembroke, and other state-supported
irtitutions, the State would be saving
money by providing supplementary
offerings when there is sufficient
demand at East Carolina College. I
see no further need for a Medical
School, Engineering, Law, or any other
school in which the number is limited
when they can be taken care of in a
central State University. There
should, however, as staged above, be
a vast broadening of the Master's
program which would include the
various areas of the Liberal Arts as
well as teacher education.
Plans for two dormitories for men
are almost completed and funds are
being requested for two additional
dormitories as well as for expansion
of the administration building, an
annex to the cafeteria, a new class-
room building and an addition to
Graham building for education andl in other areas.
'mildings, an annex to the music
building, and an extension to the
College Union building are very much
needed. If we have these within the
next two years, then except for more
dormitories we shall probably be well
taken care of until 1965, unless the
State sees fit to grant a Nursing
School and a School of Agriculture,
in which case more facilities would
be needed for these programs.
We are in the heart of the leading
farm belt .for the State and training
in agriculture is needed; also training
for nurse is limited in this area.
Therefore, there is much evidence that
tvese programs should be added in
the near future.
Based on the record of the past,
and the philosophy of successive fac-
ulties and administrators, we feel
that we are safe in saying that the
basic purpose of the College, "To
Serve" will not be changed?merely
the media for this service, primarily
curriculums -offered, which should
keep pace witih changes and growth
psychology. In addition to these

i,l season. Drills thus far have been mostly a process of loosening- up and getting into condition, bat the

Safety Course
Dr. Charles DeShaw of the
Athletic Department announced
this week that all people inter-
ested in taking the Red Croae
Water Safety Instructor eoerse
should sign a sheet now posted
on the main bulletin board at
Memorial Gymnasium.
Not too long ago, a week to be
exact, I journeyed over to Memorial
Gym to have an interview with the
amiable track mentor for East Caro-
lina, Dr. James O. Miller. After
closely searching trie athletic ofLiee
my quest was finally rewarded! This
is on? person the secret formula of
the H-bomb would be safe with. To
every direct question I asked him,
he gave the same evasive answer?
"Don't quote me If I didn't know
better, I'd think the fellow was har-
boring another Dave Sime in our
midst.
The man who wi'l lead the trackster.s
?nee more this year, by the way it's
now officially a varsity sport, expects
he similar success story that they
enjoyed last .season. In case you've
forgotten, last year's edition made
.shambles of the North State Confer
ence meet and compiled a record of
five wins as against two losses. That
doesn't seem like too bad a record
Tor a college whic ofers no track
scholarships and dkht even list the
sports as one of varsity status.
Though Miiler is on the lookout for,
prospective talent, he's blessed with ai
veteran team. Returning once again
is the now almost legendary form of
"Injun" Jim Henderson, winner of
the outstamding performer trophy
At the conference meet for the last
two years. In Henderson, the Pirates
rave one of the most outstanding
I dashmen in the area. He excels in the
century race, the 220, and with the
proper incentive, his time in the high
hurdles is sparkling also. Another
standout of the cinder sport is Robert
Maynard, of low hurdle fame. May-
nard is the running companion of
Henderson and he's no slouch, keep
your eyes on this lad.
The Pirate cause this year is blessed
with returning distance men. Cliff
Buck and Poster Morse are the big
men in this department.
Both were very impressive last year
and appear destined for new heights
in the coming campaign. Others of
note for the cinder team are such men
as Patterson, Bishop, Holmes, and
Dennis. With talent like this the sea-
son in my book looms as very bright
Among the foes the Pirates will
face are N. C. State, University of
Richmond, Hampden-Sidney College,
rd William & Mary Division and
Newport News Apprentice School in
x triangular meet. The strongest foe
appears to be the Spiders of the Uni-
versity of Richmond. Another high-
light of the season will be the con-
tinued rivalry with Elon in the con-
ference meet.
The tracksters of East Carolina
will face a rigid test of survival
against the schedule, but they have
the material for the job. It's a team
made up of men wiho really desire
to come out for the love of the sport,
football players trying to stay in
shape for next Fall, and the hard core
known as "naturals Follow them
well, this year's team appears lea?
and hungry for conquest.

statement I might add that this is
no re lection of the superior ideas and
work on the part of my co-worker,
Shirlee Smit If I reflected her work,
I would only be doing the same to
mine. I thoroughly enjoyed working
with Shirlee, and I am certain that
without her dreams combined with
her toils, the book could not possibly
be what we hoped it to be.
Now that the book has gone to
press. I can look back and see places
that I feel would have been much bet-
ter, handled in a different way. I have
no regrets, but I am simply saying
that all editors can look back after
a year's work and see how much bet-
ter things would have been if they
had been done in a different manner.
Only if an editor succeeds himself,
does he have the opportunity of cor-
recting his errors and using his pre-
vious experiences to the improvement

College Union Notes
Progress Made In The
Chess Program Here
The College Union is proud of the
progress made in the Chess program.
At the resent time there is a chess!
tournament underway which is gath
ering interest all the timeThere are
sixteen participants in the tournament
including faculty as well as students
and plenty of .tiff competition.
Chess is a fascinating game orig-
inating in ancient Asia?claims have,
been ma ie ,tor 'India, China and
Persia. Prom the time of the first
printing real the game has under-
gone no important change. It was.
well known in England, and much of
English literature from Chaucer to
Shakespeare has described it. Chess
has the advantage of age and uni-
versality over most other games, for
the rules and law are the same
wherever it is played. One widely
held popular belief is that chess is
"too deep for the average person,
but this is nonsense, for in some
countries chess is as popular as
Haseball and children learn to play.
Of course a chess master may per:
form remarkable feats, but then it
takes time to learn the intricacies
of any sport. We invite you to come
on down to the Coliege Union and
learn to play chess. Mrs. Fagan is
on hand to instruct you every Mon-
day night, and you too can enjoy a
.ascinating game of chess.

earliest degrees on the graduate level
were unearned, or honorary, in the
United States. Establishment of re
gular programs of instruction lead-
ing to the master's degree took place
in this country about the middle of
the eighteenth century, he says, and
those leading to the doctor's degree
were first introduced in the nine
teenth century. .
The first graduate degrees in the
specialized field of art education, ac-
cording to available records, were
granted in the present century, he
explains.
Art, hf states, has in recent years
won increasing recognition as Man
integral factor in all society with
the results that art education has
come to be more and more in demand
in the school curriculum.
"Since art education has become
so important Dr. Gray points out,
"it is equally important to provide
the staff which can teaeh in the pro
gram. This is true whether the staff
is for the public school or the col-
lege. With the continually improving
standards required for teachers In the
public schools and colleges it becomes
necessary to secure further prepara
tion in the form of advance degreea.M
