Other achievements of the SGA such
as the new improvement in identi-

be brougt before the board. Faint-

Plans for the luncheon were initi-
ated by SGA president Jimmy Phelps.
He expresses the hope that the lunch-
eon will become a yearly or possibly
a quarterly affair with not only SGA
members participa'ing, but also other
outstanding students present. "The
purpose of the luncheon, stated
Phelps, "is to bring the students in
closer contact with the Board and
to give the Board an idea of the ac-
tivities carried on by the student
body. Also it will introduce to the
Board the outstanding students in
our college activities
Veterans Club Meeting
Veterans are reminded that
the next and last meeting of the
quarter will be held November 21
in Graham 103 to make plans
for winter quarter. Special pro-
jects regarding veterans' prob-
lems will be discussed.
According to Mr. Melvin Buck, the
Tiew traffic and housing director,
there have been no great changes In
he traffic and parking situation,
-ince he has taken office. The traffic
violations which do come up are all
minor things, he said, which could be
corrected. He suggests that students
do this by paying more attention t
the signs around the campus. Mr.
Buck snys this would reduce vio)a-i
tions to a great extent. '
A problem at the present time,
which Mr. Buck is faced with, con-
cerns student car registration cards.
At the beginning of the school year
students are "asked to fill out cards
giving t .ir license numbers. Often
the students do not know, for various
reasons, the licer e number. They
i romise to come ack and turn in
the .lumber, thereb. completing the
registration card. In most cases the
students do not return. Mr. Buck
says his office is not having very
much cooperation along this line and
he would appreciate If the students
would respond.
In conclusion, Mr. Buck stated: "Al-
though a new director is in office,
policies will remain the same

Ovid Williams Pierce, author of
"The Plantation" and a member of
he English Department here since
19541, has been chosen by the Publi-
cations Board to act as advisor to the
newly-organized literary magazine.
The magazine became a reality laat
week when the Student Governmenet
Association approved the Publica-
tion Board's recommendation that
such a magazine be established.
"The purpose of the magazine
Pierce s'ated recently, "is to offer
a means of expression for those stu-
dents on campus who wish to write
and this includes the mediums of the
short s'ory, essay, poem, narrative
sketch, drama, and other creative
rieces.
Pierce went on to point out that
he will have little to do with the pub-
lication, other than to serve in an ad-
visor's capacity. "An editor will he'

Next quarter will see the small-

J. L. Oppelt of the Placement Bureau.
program, which will be on an ex-
nental basis at first, involves
teaching on the "modified corps"
which has recently been estab-
ed for eig'rth-graders at Green-
e Junior High School.
This idea has been gaining momen-
tum in North Carolina in the last
decade and is now used in Raleigh,
Wilmington, Goldsboro and Roanoke
Rapids schools, as well as in Virginia
and many other partB of the country.
It involves the presentation of sub-
ject matter in "blocks" of two hours
each, and the integration of related
school subjects.
Two-Hour Periods
For example instead of taking
separate, one-hour courses in science
and mathematics, students under the
"corrs" plan take an integrated two-
hour period of science and math com-
bineed. This idea is also used in con-
nection with English and social stu-
dies and other closely connected
subjects.
Advantages
The advantages of the program are
several: '


s$S
Eleanor Pierce
Jackie Wilkin.
Jean Mitchell
(1) It helps the student to see the
relationship between his various
courses and the ways they can be used
together as applications toward daily
living. Once put together and seen in
a practical perspective, the subjects
tend to hold more "aliveness" for him.
(2) The longer period provides more
time for field trips, discussions, and
other time-taking study aids which
would otherwise be interrupted by
"the Bell
(3) The longer period also gives
the student a chance to "settle down"
tnd get wrapped up in the subject.
"Corps" ideas originated in the
early 30's, and probably, Dr. Oppelt
says, can be traced back to
felt need to overcome the prob-
lems of time, student interest,
and rela'ions between subjects. The
Placement Bureau began to receive
requests for "corps teachers" last
year, and since the trend is spreading
with each term, East Carolina is tak-
ing advantage of Greenville Junior
High's recently installed "corps" pro-
gram.
To Begin Training
Three students have been selected
to begin training as "corps teachers"
next quarter. Jean Mitchell and El-
eanor .Pierce, under the supervision
of Mrs. Katherine Byrd, will teach
a group of eighth graders the Eng-
lish-social studies block, while Jackie
Wilkins will handle a science-math
period with Mrs. Margaret Latham
as his supervisor. The program is be-
ing handled by Dr. John Home of
the college Education Department,
who transferred here this year from
Grainger High School in Kinston.

Local Fourteen
Armed With Two
Important Bills
East Carolina's SGA delegation of
14 tmmbess left the campus early
'his morning to attend the State Stu-
dent Legislature in Raleigh armed
with two controversial bills which
they will introduce for passage.
Tr e sceae of action for the student
1 '?islators representing 20 colleges in
the state of North Carolina will be the
Capitol Building. A number of stu-
den s from interested colleges in such
-neighboring states as South Carolina
will be on hand for observation as
the sessions gt under way thi3 after-
noon and continue through Saturday
noon.
Here are the two bills that East
Carolina will introduce during the
legislative gathering:
I. To request the legislature to ap-
propriate funds for the implementa-
ion of Sub-chapter II, Article II,
Section 11-13 of the school laws in
the Suite of North Carolina. (This
bill deals with the need for the state
to establish funds so that if any
teacher misses classes due to sickness,
her substitute will receive payment
teachers will accumulate sick-leave
from the state system. Also, school
each year. It is hoped that these bene-
fits will stimulate more college gradu-
ates to enter the teaching field in this
state.)
II. A program for the acceleration
and articulation of students in the
school system of the State of North
Carolina. (Here the legislators hope
o solve the problem of the gifted
student who deserves to receive- -in
accelerated educational program.)
The students representing the East
Carolina SGA are Calvin Chesson and
Mike Katsias, senators; Bucky Mon-
roe, chairman of the House delega-
tion, and the following representa-
tives: Jimmy Phelps, Lillian Griffin,
Bubba Driver, Marcia Forbes, Ar-
thur DeStout, Janet Hodges, Bar-
bara Davenport, and Wade Sessoms.
Alternates are Mary Lou Wyrick,
Nancy Keith, and Preston Whitford.
Representing the interests of the
Eastern part of th s ate, the ECC
peliticos will be out to capture their
share of legislative offices. Calvin
Chesson, senior senator, will run for
the office of president for one of the
five sessions that will be held.
Jimmy Phelps, President of the SGA
is running for speaker of the house or
speaker pro-tem. Otlter possible of-
fices for which ECC may submit
candidates are the positions of clerks
in the House, Interim Council, and
vice-president of this council.
The delegates departed from the
office this morning with this com-
ment, "We're going to be out to make
an outstanding showing for the college
and student body
This year the central idea of re-
ligious emphasis week is "Love and
Justice
Dr. Arnold Nash, who is UNC pro-
fessor of History of Religion, will
speak daring the week on the polit-
ical and economical side of the topic.
Mrs. Ethel M. Nash, wife of Dr. Ar-
nold Nash, and a member of the de-
partment of preventive medicine at
Bowman Gray school of medicine
at Winston Salem, N. C, will speak
in relation to marriage and the fam-
iiy.
Another speaker will be Mr. Rob-
ert Poerschke, minister of the Baptist
Church at Siler City, N. C. He will
have a series of very interesting de-
Dr. and Mrs. Nash and Mr. Poer-
schke will be free during the week
for counseling. All students who are
interested in religious work or have
questions that they would like to be
answered can meet the speakers and
talk, to them about their various pro-
blems.
This religious work is sponsored
by the Danforth Foundation. An ar-
ticle on Dr. Arnold Nash will be in
next week's issue of the East Caro-
linian.

Issuing Vaccine
New supiies of Asian flu vaccine
arrived at the infirmary early this
week, and innoculations began im-
mediately on those students who had
not previously received shots.
Meanwhile, though a continued
drop in the incidence and severity of
the disease indicated that East Caro-
lina's version of the flu front might
be on the way out, medical authori-
ties warned that cases of the virus
are expected to show up for the next
eight to twelve weeks.
Infirmary officials are still admit-
ting around ten to fifteen cases a day,
not counting the students who have
returned to their homes to recup-
erate. However, last week's capacity-
crowded sick bay is no more, and now
holds under thirty students.
Blood Donor Cards
The ROTC Department an-
nounces that students who gave
blood daring the mat blood drive
may obtain their blood donor
cards by stopping in the office of

In Memoriam
The itudent boiy would like
to express theii deep sympathy and con-
dolences to IN mmie Harrell. a student
here, in the recent passing of his wife,
the former Louise Yelverton, who grad-
uated from hero nd was working on
her Masters degree while teaching.
Louise was well known by many
s, having graduated only
t iving. She was active in
campus activities and was a form-
er 1 . ' arolinian staff member. Her
death from influenza with pneu-
m tiia i mplications left her many
friends shocked.
Investigation Needed
Does it take a life to save one? Many
comments have been made by students and
ulty members about the traffic hazards
with whi a pedestrian must cope between
class periods n the back campus going to
and from class room buildings.
There are four definite problem points:
trying to cross from Gotten to Wright Cir-
cle, from Austin to the post ffice, from the
st nice to the library, and from Graham
to Flanagan.
We do not suggest that cars be denied
access to campus, but that they should have
limited access to the back campus during
classes when the students are. for the most
rt, in class. This may not be the proper
solution, but it is believed that the situation
sh tudied. Too many near-accidents
have occurred with the pedestrian on the
short end. He must suffer, not the car driver.
Ther far more pedestrians than cars
on campus and the hindrance that would be
felt &h uld be considered secondary to the
needs of the majority of the student body.
Better to come early and find a parking
place, or if necessary, park in a parking lot
and try walking some. The life (or bruise)
:lng to your best girl!
Get Your Flu Shot Now
Influenza on the East Carolina campus
the la report seems to have hit its
k and started on the downhill run. At
st, we ho it- so. However, doctors are ad-
vising all r the country that the next
thr dangerous ones. Cold rainy
eather will - n be moving in.
Medical authorities noted that, for the
. students who were vaccinated
have the flu or else light eases.
The more people who are vaccinated, the
of epidemics. Now is the time to
get your flu shot at the Infirmary.
And to Dr. Irons and his staff many
thanks for the go d job they did during the
reci this flu, whatever kind it
East a can well be proud of its In-
firmary staff.

We Salute
The President
By JAN RABY
V an odi orial fanfare to Ameri-
can Education Week, November 10-
16 T thought that a salute to the
" - ing rofessicn would be in order.
Looking around for one particular
individual who might symbolize the
worthiness of the profession, I se-
lect! I a figure of national promin-
t nee locattd tight on our own campus,
the President of the college, Dr. John
Decatur Messick. How well do you
know him? Are you aware of his
s nipltshments ?
Phis distinguished, handsome gent-
leman was born at South Creek, Beau-
Kit County, N. C. He took his under-
graduate woik. at Elon College and
did graduate work at UNC. Then he
went Notli and attended Columbia
University, receiving his Ph.D. de-
gree in administration and supervi-
sion of schools at New York Univer-
sity in 1934. It was in 1948 that Elon
awarded him the honor of outstand-
ing alumnus and Lit. D.
I; takes experience to create back-
ground. We first see him as princi-
pal of the South River Consolidated
Schools and then principal at Trenton.
Superintendent was the next step,
for six years at Spencer. Then for
nine years he was Dean of Instruct-
ion at Elon. Also he was a professor
during summer sessions at Teachers
College, Asheville. Prior to his coming
to ECC, Dr. Messick was Dean of
Instruction and Administrative As-
sistant to the President, State Tea-
chers College, Montclair, N. J then
he assumed the presidency of ECC
in 1947.
Checking his memberships, offices
and honors in various organizations I
found that he i a member of Phi
Delta Kappa and Kappa Delta Pi,
both honorary education fraternities;
National Education Association;
" rth Carolina Education Associa-
tion: and others. He was Chairman of
the Home and Family Life Committee,
1949, and former chairman of Char-
acter Education Committee of North
Car lina Congress of Parents and
T achers. Also our president is Re-
. nal Chairman of Personal and
Family Living for X. C, Virginia,
W. Ya Delaware, Maryland, and
Washington, D. C. which is sponsored
y the American Social Hygiene As-
si ciation.
Dr. Messick was a member of the
Planning Committee and divisional
Chairman of Higher Education of
USA in 1949 and Division Chairman
again in 1(.m0. The NYU Alumni As-
sociation elected him president in
1947. From 1950-1955 he was Chair-
man ot' the National Accrediting
Committee of the American Associa-
tion of Colleges for Teacher Educa-
tion of U. S.
The News And Observer selected
him "Tar Heel of Week" in October,
1950. Also h, is listed in Who's Who
in America; Who's Important in Edu-
cation; Who's Who in American Edu-
cation; and Who's Who in South and
Southwest, and Who's Who in the
World.
The Pitt County Executives Club
elected him president from 1948-1951.
From 1954-56 he headed the East
Carolina Boy Scout Council as presi-
dent. Also he is a past president of
the Salisbury Kiwanis Club.
Presently he is Chairman of reno-
vation and expansion of the Jarvis
Memorial Methodist Church building;
Director of North Carolina Cerebral
Palsy Hospital; member of N. C. Nu-
clear Energy Advisory Committee;
Director of Guaranty Bank and Trust
Co Greenville; former President of
N. C. Society for Crippled Children
and Adults; and member of a National
Advisory Committee of the US gov-
ernment.
Dr. Messick has written many ar-
ticles in newspapers, magazines, and
scholarly journals. He has written
two books, "Personality and Char-
acter Development" and also "School
Boards: Their Powers and Discretions.
At this point, I pause for a breath.
I feel that the above facts can stand
alone and my poor words can little
add, but possibly detract from this
great personality. I asked Dr. Mes-
sick for a statement about the tea-
ching profession and he said:
Who's Who
Patterson Holds Purse Strifes
By BETTY FLEMING
The press photographer just hap-
pened to catch Bobby Patterson in
what Bobby calls "the stop-over"
his room in Umstead Hall. According
to Bobby, his room is the most un-
likely place on campus to find him.
Between his budgeting duties for the
SGA and football practices he's kept
busy most of the time.
This senior from Rocky Mount
added a little more work to his al-
ready busy schedule this year by
choosing to double major in science
and physical education.
A.s this year's Treasurer of the
SGA and chairman of the Budget
Committee Bobby had to spend a lot
of time with his committee at the
beginning of the year to determine
to what organizations and in what
amounts the committee would ap-
propriate funds. In Bobby's words,
the committee does its job this way:
"When the budget committee ap-
propriates money for student or-
ganizations, we try to pick the ones
from which the student body as a
whole will benefit.
Bobby is not new to the job of
budgeting. He was secretary of the
Budget Committee his sophomore and
junior years and was Assistant Treas-
urer of the SGA during the same
period.
Since his work in the SGA was of
Robert Patterson
merit, Bobby was chosen to represent
East Carolina as a delegate to the
National Student Conference which
was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in
the summer of 1957. He also at-
tended the first session of summer
school this past summer and held
down the job of Treasurer of the
Summer School SGA.
Bobby said this was different
from his usual summers of working.
In the past his vacation activity has
consisted of working at the YWCA
in Rocky Mount with Small Fry and
Li'tie League baseball teams. He did
do some umpiring for Softball games
near the end of last season's schedule.
Bobby has been in the Circle K
Club and Sigma Rho Phi, a social
fraternity, since his sophomore year.
As a junior he was a member of
the YMCA, and at present he is a
member of the Varsity Club.
Sports are a hobby with Bobby and
lake up a major portion of his time.
He "as been on the football team
at ECC for four years, and when
Spring rolls around next year he
will be out for track for his fourth
year.
Bobby holds two North State Con-
ference records in track. They are
the 880 yard run and the mile re-
lay.
Tennis, swimming. and travel
round out the rest of Bobby's hobbies
which are basically Bports.
As a senior, Bobby plans to grad-
uate in May, 1958 and as yet is un-
decided as to what he will do after
graduation. HoweveT, Bobby says, "I
would like to do either scientific
work for a large company like PJu-
Pont or perhaps do some coaching

Letters To The Editors
Dear Editor:
Just a quick note to compliment
"you all" (how else can a South-
erner say it?) on the one heck of
a nice job you're doing with our
newspaper. Only one complaint: Not
big enough. Let's have more "King
Sized" issues, like the Homecoming
one.
And just in case you ever run out
of cartoons, here's an idea:
Keep up the good work.
Billy Powell
EDITOR'S NOTE: Billy enclosed a
fine cartoon which we cannot re-
produce here, due to technical dif-
ficulties. Thanks for the Mea, ML
To The Editor:
I was shocked and humiliated when
I attended the play, "The House of
Connelly Is this the type of play
that is supposed to enrich the lives
of college students? If it is, then
someone used poor taste in selecting
a plsy whish would emphasize high
moral values. Surely Paul Green has
written plays that would have bene-
fited the college and faculty. Yes,
situations in the play did occur in
the South during the days of slavery,
but it's not a fact of which we're
proud.
I am not, in any sense of the
word, criticizing th excellent per-
formance of the actors and actresses.
I only hope that in th future more
careful consideration will be given
in the selection of material for pres-
entation.

this is a true criticism, but the fact remains

American society, prestige is all important.
And prestige is made rather than just hap-

Apps Take Win By
Extra Point; Bucs
Suffer Seventh Loss
East Carolina probably woke up
Sunday morning dreaming about ex-
tra points and field goals. Another
defeat was registered last Saturday
night, this time the Appalachian
Mountaineers on the long end of a
7-6 score.
The loss for the Pirates was their
seventh and left them with a 0-4
conference mark. Appalachian evened
their mark at 4-4 and 2-3 in con-
ference competition.
ECC struck first in ihe second
quarter when they drove 71 yards
fo. a 6-0 lead, tommy Nash dashed
33 yards to park the drive and then
running mate, James Speight, broke
loose to scoot over from the 1. Larry
Howell missed the vital extra point
attempt.
Appalachian's Glenwood Wilson got
the victors started late in the period
when he intercepted a Stuart Hol-
land pass on the Appalachian 40 and
returned it to the 49. The Apps then
quickly marched 51 yards for their
tally. After being held for two downs
on the five, Dewayne Itf&ner hit Cal
Burlesson on a quick jump pass for
the TD. Claude Midkiff attempted the
point but it was no good, however,
a roughing the kicker penalty was
called and Midkiff converted the
winning point on his second try.
ECC drove to the visitors seven
in the second half but Tommy Nash
got caught behind the line of scrim-
mage and Buhba Matthews attempted
a field goal which fell inches short.
The Bucs once again started a
drive in the final stages of the tilt
but a fourth down Zehring pass fell
incomplete to end e threat.
James Speight, James Faircloth,
Joe Holmes, and Charles Cooke were
outstanding for the losers.

Quarterback Jerry Nettles passed
for two touchdowns last Friday eve-

a 39-0 victory over the ECC "Baby
Bucs It was the final game for the
yearlings arid left them with a 2-3

Nettles passed 26 yards to end
Lindsey Carr and then 12 yards to

Halfback Lee Rhame gained 74 yards
in nine carries for the winners.
Coach Bill McDonald's outfit were

With touch football season ending
its regular play last Friday, a tour-

It will be a single elimination af-

were aired by drawings and every
team had an equal chance to
come out on top as far as pairings
go. Winning teams will pick up a
total of five points for their efforts
in single game wins while the losers
will garner no points.
Basketball Notes
Basketball season is just around
the corner and the East Carolina
Pirates have been busy practicing
since the 14'i.h of October. The Pirates
open their 1957-1958 campaign on
the 25th on November against Pfief-
fer College fn Memorial Gymnasium.
Pirate Slopes for this season re-
ceived a severe jolt when Nick Nic-
hols, a starter last season, Buffered
a chronic dislocation of his shoulder.
Nichol is convalescing in Pitt Mem-
orial Hospital following a successful
operation; however, he is not expected
to be available for this year's edition
of the Pirates,
Practice sessions have been ham-
pered by a large number of flu cases.
Coach Porter commented that the flu
cases were making it difficult for
him to eveluate the ability of some of
the new prospects.
The problem of height is plaguing
Coach .Porter more than any other
problem at (present. He stated that
he has many small experienced play-
ers and some tall men who are in-
experienced. How well they solve this
problem will determine the success of
this year's club.
At present, the probable starting
lineup will see Guy Mendenhall at
center, Charie Adams and Harold In-
gram at the forwards, and Ike Rid-
dick and Jessell Curry, a transfer
from the University of Kentucky, at
the guards. They will receive support
from Dennis O'Brien, Don Smith,
freshman prospect from Portsmouth,
Va. Jimmy Hall, and Bucky Dennis.
Brownie Salmon, freshman half-
back, will go into service at the end
of this month. A Wallace native,
Salmon plans to play service ball be-
fore returning to ECC.

No Spirit Here!
By MIKE WILLIAMSON
In my opinion there is very little if
any spirit at all here at East Carolina. This
statement is based upon personal experience.
Last year everyone went home on weekends
just as they do now. They could not stay here
on campus and give their athletic teams their
moral support. But when they returned from
the weekend they always hollared about not
winning any games. How can student expect
any team to win when there is no moral
support.
There is the other side of the picture
also, this side shows that there is no spirit
among the team members themselves. In my
opinion spirit among the members of
a team can play just as important
part in winning as do the large and
speedy members.
Last year this inner spirit among team
members proved just how important it was.
The- swimming team went all the way to
the top even after losing a few meets, but
the members did not give up, instead they
orked that much harder so they would not
lose. The swimming team had the unity,
fellowship and the want to win among them-
selves.
Team spirit has reared its pretty head
in the junior varsity football games. In tke
game against Richmond after being tied
twice they did not give up, instead they went
on to win. They had the inner spirit among
themselves to fight just that much harder
for a victory.
If more of the athletic teams could work
up spirit among themselves thereby winning
a few games the students would give them"
the much needed support. This works the
other way alsor if the student body would
keep going to the various games and cheering
the team might feel more like winning. No
one likes to play before people who can't cheer
a little bit more than has been.
To procure the spirit we need here at
East Carolina will take a lot of team work
among the students, team members and fa-
culty. Everyone must work together like
cne big team. In this I mean, teachers should
urge their students to stay on campus and
support their team, the teachers could also
wish the various team members in their
classes good luck in the forthcoming game.
It is our intention when we come to col-
lege to learn, but attending athletic contests
is just as much part of our learning as the
books. We must all pitch in from the highest
faculty member to the lowest underclassmen.
We as adults young and old alike must strive
to get the much needed spirit here.
In my final opinion, it is a large job
we have ahead of us to get the much needed
spirit here on campus. Let us one and all
show the rest of North Carolina that East
Carolina is a school to be reckoned with, ho
matter what they undertake, that we have
the spirit to back any thing we may attempt.

Upset Is
To Save Face
For 1957 Bucs
By MERVIN HOBBY
The victory-starved Pirates of East
Carolina play host to the rampaging
Bears of Lenoir Rhyne Saturday
night at Memorial Stadium. The Pi-
rates, dragging along on the wake
of an eleven game losing streak, are
given little chance of derailing the
highly touted Bears. Lenoir Rhyne,
ranked 7th in NAIA ratings, has a
6-1-1 record to date. Their only loss
was in the season opener against
Wofford, the number 1 ranked small-
college team in the U. S.
Leading the single wing attack for
the Bears will be fullback Harold
Bullard, the number one scorer and
rushing leader in t e North State
Conference for the past two years.
The Rockingham "Bull" also was
named All-State and Little All-Amer-
ican last year.
Scouting reports indicate that the
Bears are even tougher defensively
tnan they ar offensively. They have
allowed only one touchdown since
their opening game, that coming af-
ter they had ran Guilford out of the
stadium and were playing their
fourth and fifth strings.
The dim hopes of the Pirates will
rest mainly on James Speight, the
fleet-footed halfback who is the
leading ground gainer for the Pi-
rates this year. Speight has gained
437 of the 928 yard total for the
Pirates this year. He also leads the
scoring for the Pirates with 24 points.
Aiding the Pirate scatback will be
quarterback Ralph Zehring, the pa&s-
ingthreat of the team. If the .Pirates
are te make the game interesting,
these two boys will have to fan the
flames of the attack.
Leading the forward wall of the
Pirates will be Lynn Barnett, a rug-
ged lineman all year. Ed Emory and
Ken Burgess will star, at guards. At
the tackles James Faircloth and Char-
lie Cook give the Pirates needed
strength. The flank positions will be
manned by Howard Beale and Bill
Cain. Rounding out the backfield,
in addition to Speight and Zehring,
will be Tommy Nash at the other half
and either Joe Holmes, a standout
Last week in the loss to Appalachian,
or Bobby Lilly at fullback.
Saturday's game will mark the last
home appearance of six seniors. They
are Co-Captains Ken Burgess and
Dick Monds, James Faircloth, Jerry
Brooks, Bob Mavnard and Carlton
Matthews. They will be scrapping
with all their hearts to put the Pi-
rates back in the win column in their
last appearance at Memorial Sta-
dium.

On Drinking
By FAYE RIVENBARK
After two previous panel discuss-
ions on "Drinkingits Place at EC
a third Vesper service was used as
an evaluation summary. The first
week, faculty members voiced their
opinions on the subject; and students
did likewise during the second week.
Mike Katsias was in charge of the
program; therefore, he gave the
evaluation. Mike opened with the
statement that the faculty are not
trying to punish students if they want
to drink, but there is a tjme and
place to drink- ,
"In ancient Greece, many heard
tales of the Great Oracle who was
blessed with the power to answer all
questions. People traveled miles and
miles to have questions answered. One
particular Greek youth thought he
had a question to outwit the Oracle.
This lad went to the great man and
said, Oracle, in my hand I have a
bird. Is he alive or is he dead?
"The Great Oracle thought and then
he smiled and answered, It shall be
as you shall have it.
Such an answer as this puzzled tne
young boy so that he aBked the
Oracle what his answer meant. In
answer to the youth's second ques-
tion the Oracle replied, "My son,
if I tell you the bird is dead, you
will open your hand and it shall
fly away. If I tell you the bird is
alive, you will close your hand tightly
and crush the bird til there is no
life in it. This is the meaning of
my answer to your first question
"So like this story are we. The
true evaluation of these series really
depends on you as an individual. It
shall be as you will have it
discuss their previous living in
Europe and the two foreign students
from Columbia and France will tell
us about their countries.
All those who plan to attend the
meeting Noember 12, are asked to
sign up on the geography bulletin
board by November 7.
Canterbury Choir Formed
At the close of the Nov. 27 Canter-
bury Club program a meeting of the
Canterbury Choir was held. The fol-
lowing people volunteered to be regu-
lar members of the choir and sing for
tlie Evening Prayer Service: Janet
Grissom, Vicky Ebom, Ann Page
, Brooks. Sally Ottoway, Carolyn Ay-
cock, Fred Kaminski, Bill Newman,
and Ed Sinclair.
This group will comprise the regu-
lar members, a nucleus. It is hoped
t at others will join these members
for the Sunday evening services at
5:30. Choir rehearsal will be at 4:45.
Cynthia Roth and George Johnson
will be organists and will alternate
playing every other Sunday. With the
formation of a regular choir and two
organists, it is hoped that the Canter-
bury Club will soon be able to have a
choral even-song.
Varsity Club
The Varsity Club met recently to
reorganize. Officers were elected.
They were: President, Jerry Brooke;

the BSU state choir also were elected
officers of the organization on No-
vember 2 when Joanna Hardee be-
came secretary of the choir and Caro-
lyn Tripp was elected to be the treas-
urer.
What I It?
William (Bill) Bryd was the recip-
ient of the portable television given
away at the Halloween Carnival
sponsored by Pi Omega Pi and FBLA.
Canterbury News
The subject for this week's Canter-
bury discussion was "The Concept
of Truth Having done considerable
research, Mike Katsias, who lead the
discussion read excerpts from a book
dealing with this subject, after which
he reversed the statements into ques-
tions for debate.
Due to the fact that attendance
was less than it has been for some
time, the discussion was not so timely
as usual. Next week Canterburians
will begin a discussion on the Trinity.
This subject will take four weeks, the
fourth of which will be a summary
of what has been said the preceding
three weeks.
As usual Cantermurians enjoyed a
fine dinner and would like to express
a welcome to others who would like
to join them at St. Paul's Parrish
House this Sunday evening.

One Student's Opinion
By Invitation
Kinlaw Meets Queen
By ANNE SPEARS
Through tr.ese Y-Vesper programs
it is hoped that we students will b
brought closer together in a friendly
informal group. There will be dif-
ferent forms of programs given.
Some will have discussion, some will
have speakers, some will have the
cross-view effecttwo people giving
their views on a certain issue, and
tfhen some programs will relate to
any pertinent happenings of current
events on campus.
For November the programs will
be "The YA Self Examination" the
first week and "ThanksgivingIs It
A Must?" the third week. There is an
opening the second week which will
be filled probably by a current issue
on campus at the time.
"The Queen reunited in friendship
our two countries better than any
other person sent by the British gov-
ernment could have done says David
M. Kinlaw on his return from Wash-
ington, D. C, where he had the pri-
vilege of attending two receptions for
her majesty. Wednesday, October 16,
David's exciting four days began
when re left for Washingeon on the
train returning by airplane Satur-
day afternoon.
David, from Edinburgh, Scotland,
a senior here at Eas: Carolina Col-
lege, had the great honor of receiving
invitations through a friend of his in
the British embassy, to the British
Diplomatic Corps reception and the
Australian Embassy reception for the
Queen in Washington, D. C, on Thurs-
day Ocober IT, and Friday October
18, respectively. David's father, now
deceased, was Ambassador to Mexico,
which enabled David to receive the
invitations.
At each reception David went
t' rough a receiving line where the
Queen could speak to each person if
she so chose, The Queen recognized
the name of Kinlaw and spoke to
David at both receptions. 750 people
attended the British Diplomatic Corps
reception, yet the Queen knew some-
thing about every person therea
remarkable achievement even for a
Queen!
David was also present when the
Queen laid a wreath on the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier, and the Cana-
dian Cross, at Arlington Cemetery.
.As protocol prohibited David from
carrying a camera, he received pic-
tures of the parade 2nd Queen Eliz-
abeh II, taken by a servant of the
British Embassy.
"I considered it a great honor to
be invited to attend the reception in
Washington, D. C, and was very
thrilled by it all David says smil-
ingand who wouldn't have been?
Especially if he is part of the Bri-
tish Royal Family as David is.

Foundation two or not to exceed three
candidates for these 1968 fellowships.

Connelly Play Impressions
Doug Mitchell in the leading role
of young William Byrd Connelly was
disturbing. He seemed to be walking
stiff-legged through the whole play
and yet slinking at the Bame time. . .
somehow he gave off the impression
that reminds one of the old 1910 silent
flicker heroes. He was over dramatic
in his more emotional scenes and
seemed to offer gestures emptily . . .
his drunk scene was good (he grew
with the play) and his stiff-legged
slink fitted him more naturally as a
drunk . . .
. . . Jane Berryman was a bit cold
at the opening and was hard to hear
. . . she warmed up as the play pro-
gressed and did a very, very good job
in her walk-out scene . . . her facial
expressions and voice were perfect in
the final two scenes . . .
Ed Pilkington, as the hard-
drinking, Latin-swearing Uncle Bob
stole the show he somehow man-
aged to identify the audience with
himself to the point that it responded
visibly at his every appearance on
the stage . . . the bearded young
Goldsboro actor injected a vital, ex-
citement into the play each time he
appeared . . . When he died, one had
he feeling that he had lost someone
close to him. I noticed several people
actually sniffling through his death
scene . . .
be held at Camp Miniwanca in Mich-
igan next September.
The qualifications of the candidates
as listed in the announcement from
the Foundation are: men of outstand-
ing academic ability, personality con-
genial to the classroom, and integrity
and character, including serious in-
quiry within the Christian tradition.
All applications, including the rec-
ommendations, must be completed by
January 31, 1968. Any student wish-
ing further information should get
in touch with our Liaison Officer.

As the tenant Jesse Tate, Ken
West did an admirable job. His ver-
bal acting was completely convinc-
ing and had you closed your eyes you
would not have been able to tell that
he wasn't an old, tight-lipped North
Carolina farmer he managed to
pinpoint his character right down the
line without over-acting, although
he had a minor part . . .
. . . Shirley Dixon, as Sister Ger-
aldine, didn't really catch my eye at
all until the final scene. And then, her
best acting didn't contain a line of
dialogue . . . her air of strictness
still maintained, she managed to por-
ray her deeper feelings in the man-
ner in which she secured her mourn-
ing- veil, straightened the table cloth,
and walked out of the house In
that brief bit of acting, she was able
to characterize Sister Geraldine per-
fectly . . .
. . . Doris Robins, as the other sis-
ter, didn't have a very demanding
part, but she carried it out well . . .
her facial expressions were her big-
gest means of expression since her
dialogue was either little or practi-
ally worthless as written by Green
. . . she has a beautiful face . . .
. . . Bubba Driver as Big Sis did
one of the best jobs of acting in the
production . . . his Nigger pronun-
ciations were exact and realistic and
better Darkie talk couldn't be found
on any farm in the area . . . Tony
Brandon, as Big Sue, followed through
well. He, too, did a good job of Nig-
ger-speaking and his physical ap-
pearance was even more realistic as a
Nigger wench than was Driver's.
. . . Alice Anne Home's healthy
voice didn't seem to fit her decre-
pitude in "her first appearance f 1
some reason . . . but as the play
progressed, she managed to weld the
two together extremely well
peak was reached in her emotional
scenes with Will and the dead Uncle
Bob . . .
. . . Sally Donovan was good as
Virginia. Her part required her to
do so damn much talking and in c
a false, Southern-Bellish voice,
though, that I was glad when she
exited . . .
. . . Essie, done by Gwen McCa
rock and ,
quite a tempting high-Yaller . . .
part about the locket from Sears
and (Roebuck came through kind
muddled but that could have been Mr.
Green's fault . . .
