Osstro Confirms Query
81 Crii's Democracy
The 26 of July Movement in Cuba has
succeeded. Fidel Castro says there is more
liberty in Cuba now than in the United States.
"Wi more democratic than President
enh wer We are more democratic than
John Foster Dulles he claims.
Is Cuba a more democratic place now?
Or is Castro trying to outdo Batista?
Over 200 pro-Batista citizens have been
killed by the firing squad after hasty mili-
v trials.
In jail awaiting trial are about 6,000
eople. Rebel soldiers are hunting down per-
hns as many as 5.000 fugitive soldiers, po-
lice. Mid informers accused of carrying on
dictator's repression.
As yet, no trials or executions have been
rep rted in Havana. Provisional President
Manuel Urrutla's government continues to
give assurance that newsmen will be furnish-
ed names of the accused and charges against
them and will be invited to watch the trials.
But the military courts in the provinces ap-
parently are going ahead full steam without
publicity or reporters.
( astro estimates that only 450 persons
will face the firing squads in the purge "to
rid Cuba of all war criminals The new head
f the Cuban armed forces claims that if any
Batista man had killed as many as twenty
people, it was judged that he had no right to
live.
The killing has gotten out of hand. Cast-
n s frst statement was that there would be
only two or three dozen war criminals. Now
that number has increased to 450. How many
more? At one of the mass executions in a
province a bull dozer had to be used to bury
the many people executed. They were scrap-
ed into one big ditch grave.
Castro along with some other Cubans
contend that Cuba has just as much right to
exterminate war criminals as the Allies had
in condemning Nazi leaders at the Nueren-
berg trials after World War II.
Cubans are growing irritated at world
criticisme&pecially from the United States
concerning the executions.
Evidently fearing U. S. intervention,
Castro declares that if U. S. Marines enter
Cuba "200,000 'gringos will die "Gringo"
is a term used in a derogatory sense denoting
a U. S. citizen. There are 12,000 living in
Cuba.
Cuba belongs to the Cubans and it is not
for us to decide if she has the right to ex-
terminate Batista men or in what manner. It
does seem, however, that Castro would order
the executi ns to stop or at least slow down.
T d many people have been killed in too
short a time in the past few days.
The brilliant lawyer who led his guerilla
tr cops through twenty-five months of fight-
ing to victory may be fast losing the respect
the world so recently accorded him.
A country which claims to be more demo-
cratic than oven our own U. S. can not begin
a reign of liberty with a reign of terror.

Good Olo' Days
When Were They?
By BOB WHITING
Aji amiable old gentlemen with
whom I converse frequently has a
domestic problem that irritates him
profusely. He has a sixteen year old
granddaughter who is pretty, intelli-
gent, eager, and curious; one can see
iliat this combination might cause
trouble.
To view the granddaughter's physi-
cal outline might leave one with the
impression that he was getting a pre-
view of the 'forward look" that char-
acterizes the jet age and modern day
selling. She has no trouble getting
('ates with boys; conversely, boys have
trouble getting dates with her. She
realises that she is a desirable article
OH the high school date roster, there-
fore, she has learned to take every
advantage of the situation' at an
early age.
Along with her other traits she is
commanding, quick tempered, hard to
please, a?id highly irritable with the
boys who call on her. She tells them
when to come, what to wear, what to
do, and in general critizes them when-
ever and wherever possible. If just
once she finds that on? of her dates
does not com; ly with her wishes, she
tells him that he will not be allowed
to see her anymore. This does not
cause her to become unpopular; she
is more in demand than ever. The
boys beg to come back. They promise
to do and act as she dictates.
This irritates the old gentleman of
whom I was speaking. During one of
,ur recent conversations, he was
speaking in his usual authoritative
voice about the way the younger gen-
eration has changed since his day a
change for the worse. "Boys just don't
know how to handle the girls any-
more he says. He went on to say
that during his day it was first this
one and then that one. There was
never time to get serious about any-
one. The girls had to wait in line. He
said that stunts like his granddaugh-
ter pulled on her boyfriends just did
not happen during his day. The boys
would not stand for it. They would
simply tell the girl who acted this
way to go you know where.
After thirty minutes of listening
to him, I was convinced that girls had
just recently started acting this way.
I was about to leave when his wife
appeared in the doorway. She had
i aught ; arts of our conversation
while she supposedly was cleaning
the living room. As I said goodbye, I
unwittingly commented to the gentle-
man's wife that I had been disillu-
sioned about the role that women
played in her day.
I had just finished saying, " the
good old days must really have been
the good old days when she took a
step forward, stopped, pointed her
finger and said, "that's what you
think, voung man. Things haven't
changed. They're still like they use
to be. Why, that man of mine used to
follow me around all the time. All I
had to do was to leave the house and
there he'd be, just like a little puppy
dog. I couldn't get rid of him. I
thought for a while that he was going
to put his bed up in my front yard.
He'd slay out there sometimes till
early in the morning just to make
sure that no other boys came calling
on me. I couldn't date anyone else
after I met him because he was either
calling me over the phone or leaning
against that tree in the front of my
house. But I did have other boy-
friends and they weren't much dif-
ferent. No sir, we didn't try to please
the men, they tried to please us
Her husband had been kicking the
heel of his shoe in the ground and
one did not have to look closely to
see a red glow in his face. He lifted
his eyes to stare above the house
across the street, then back to the
ground again. I could sense that the
situation was uncomfortable so I
hurriedly bid goodbye and tramped
toward the street.
I guess the lady was right after
all. The world is technically becom-
ing more complex with the new scien-
tific discoveries being made, but basic
life, as we live it every day, has
changed but little. Woman's role to-
day is about the same as it was dur-
ing the gay decade. Man still has to
fight to display his paramount char-
acter. .As for the teenage girl, the
only drastic change that has been
made is that Zorro and Fidel Castro
have replaced Valentino as national
heart throbs.
The old man's greatest change was
one of memory. The passing years
will sometimes make the machinery
of the mind become hasy. Memories
wane and we forget. Maybe a better
answer is that we like to forget At
any rate we forget. Sometimes it is
better to forget what really happened
and substitute in its place what we
would like to have had happen. This
was by far more beautiful to the old
man. This was what he wanted to re
member from the good old days.

I have always been one to believe

Mysterious Case Causes 'Uprisin9
By PAT HARVEY
'Tis really a pity when news around fore the
campus is so scarce that one finds
himself digging into the dark places
to find something to enlighten one's
conversation. There was a little inci-
dent that took place recently. It didnt
occur on campus, but for once since
living on East Carolina ground, it's
students were well aware of the plot
and the climax of an outside event.
But, unfortunately for our reporters,
by the time it was relayed into our
big ears, the plot was misconstrued
and the climax contained varied and
ridiculous decisions. It was a pity that
this little deal happened, for some of
our fair people; but for most of the
campus' inhabitants, it could be pro-
nounced a gift from who knows
where.
Now the conversation does not re-
lease only the latest happenings in
classes, Buc's diet, and Mike's cold,
but now this news has filled the little
minds of the students with thought
and evil doings. Not that any of our
acquaintances are actually capable of
doing drastic things, but still it's a
thought worth mentioning to the
naive freshman.
These thoughts can do one of two
things: (1) scare them too death; give
them the realization that "it could
happen to me and keep them from
trying anything more than speaking
when spoken to, or, to that sometimes
better extreme, smiling when spoken
to, or (2) give them a sense of hatej prograTO that
they're ready to throw in the towel aboT.
and pronounce everyone out of their
mind for doing such a "square" trick, j
Probably now most of the reader
have blood shot eyes and are still
wondering what the general jist of
this, supposedly, column is. There-
sentences will be tied to-
gether into a few words that the
average "beat generation" should in-
terpret. First, can the students do
anything about the outcome of the
lracus? Second, if they could, what?
Third, what could they possibly gain
with these little outbursts?
How can one fight this fright off?
My friend, it is very easy: (1) Grin
and bear it, or, much better, laugh it
off as an experience every student
should not go through.
(2) Cry and revolt from society or
much better start acting normal (no,
not, like a typical teenage college
student.)
(3) This is the winner of them all:
ever try upholding a few rules and
paying heed to their suggestions?

Dear Editor:
A few days ago, a visitor on our
campus asked one of our seniors if
he was a fraternity man. The ques-
tion was asked in the presence of one
of our new-found sorority girls and
she interrupted with, "No, he's one
of those nobodies at East Carolina'
Well, needless to say, the seniOT be-
came irritated but we'll omit what he
said in answer to her remark.
The point is that there are a lot
of "nobodies" here, far more than
there are "somebodies if that's what
a frat man or sorority girl is.
The purpose of any organization is
to attempt to raise the standards of
the school and, from what I hear of
some of the recent "week-end ex-
cursions the standards are going
lower, not higher.
As soon as some people in these
social organizations find out that they
arc no better in any way than some
of us who are not in an organization,
the better off EOC will be.
It's rumored that one sorority was
well represented at the recent un-
chaperoned party in town.
In closing, I would like to remark
to the freshman girlb, since Rush
Week is going strong, "If you want
to join a sorority, have enough gump-
tion to look into all of them before
you jump off the ledge. Find out
something about the girls in the soro-
rity you wish to join so that you
won't take the chance of "going
home" before graduation, 1963
It would be a pity for the sorority
movement to be knocked down before
it got started good because of a few
"bad apples because there are some
good ones.
Sincerely,
Bob Lewis
Dear Editor:
I am a Scot, (hometownEdin-

During the war I was a radio operat-

and I visited America many times. I
was always impressed by the kindness
and hospitality shown ,o the Britons
like myself who were thrown up on
your shores by the war.
I now have a lot of spare time
and so as a hobby I have started a
club to enable young people in Amer-
ica and Britain to get to know each
other better, exchange ideas, maga-
zines, etc.
I already have a long list of young
Britons who are eager to make pen
friends in America but my difficulty
is putting them in touch with your,g
Americans of similar interests. I am,
therefore, taking the liberty of writ-

Graduates Can
Try For Foreign
Study Grants
. Competition for a scholarship of-
fered by the American Committee on
United Euror 3 to attend the 1959-60
session of tne College of Europe at
Bruges, Belgium, is now open to
American college graduates.
The College of Europe offers a one-
year, graduate program in European
studies. Courses and seminars are giv-
en in the social sciences, with em-
hasis on European economic and po-
Htical problems. A series of study
tiips is part of the curriculum. The
annual enrollment of about 40 stu-
dents is drawn mainly from western
countries, but the College encourages
outside representation, especially
from the United States, in order to
broaden the exchange of viewpoints.
March 1, 1959, is the deadline for
scholarship applications. Applicants
must be United States citizens, under
30, single, able to speak French and
have a bachelor degree by October
L959. The scholarship, valued at
$1,750, covers travel, tuition, board,
lodging and incidental expenses. Fur-
ther information on how to apply can
be obtained from the American Com-
mittee on United Europe, 120 East
fifith Street, New York 22, N. Y.
Winner of the American Commit-
tee's scholarship last year was Gor-

Pirate Quint'Plays At Portsmouth Saturday Night
HCsPorter States Win Over L-R Is Best Game Of Season;
Bucs Go Out Or Conference To Clash With Bynum Motors
Adams, Riddick, Nichols, Curry,
All Hit In Double Figure Mark
Two Points For The Pirates
HICKORY, N. C. East Carolina,
riding a hot three gime winning
streak, pulled an "impossible" Satur-
day night by
upsetting defending
North State Champion, Lenoir Rhyne,
P7-75 on the hitter's home court.
Sparked by a tremendous shooting
exhibition by guard Charlie Adams,
the Pirates jumped into an early lead
and after the score was tied seven
times salvaged a 44-37 halftime lead.
The second half was all East Caro-
lina as the Pirates kept a wide spread
and were aided by numerous foul
s. The Bears, trying desperately
jet back in the game, had four
tera to foul out in the final half.
Adams, the Gary senior, ran his
iast three game total 73 points as he
filled the nets with outside jump
Ike Riddick. junior guard, also
aided in the scoring attack with 23
points, his high for the season.
The win at Hickory was the first
tl Pirates since 1956 and re-
ed an earlier licking administered
the Bears at Greenville.
Dick Whitis, high scoring forward,
held to IS points by the Pirate
defense and left a big it in his 22
point average. Ken No. man topped
the Bruins scoring with 14 points
ile Bill Reece, Tommy Sellari and
Ladd broke in double figures with
ta each.
Nick Nichols, Pirate captain, broke
out of a scoring slump as he hit 16
ints. The "Blond Bomber" had not
hit double figures since early in the
son. He was out last season due
i shoulder operation.
The Bears played on even terms
during the first half but after the
re was tied 37-all with a minute
remaining were unable to score while
?he Pirates hit for seven quick points.
Coach Howard Porter used only se-
ven rlayers in upsetting the high-ri-
ding Penis. The victory gave ECC a
6-8 over-all mark and a 5-3 conference
record. Lenoir Rhyne is now 9-3 and
5-2 in conference play.
Coach Billy Wells, successful young
tutor, had plenty of credit for the
Pirate squad. "They played a tre-
mei a game and that boy Adams
ally tremendous. There is no-
thing you can do when he hits from
where he was hitting The Bear
ach pointed out that he stated ear-
lier that "if East Carolina ever got
"ogether, they would have the best
team in the conference'
Coach Howard Porter was a happy
man following the game as he called
the play of his club "tremendous
Porter stated that it was his club's
; est game of the season.
Plays In Portsmouth
East Carolina, returning to the
form of last season, hits the road
once again this week-end as they
battle Bynum Motors, a independent
earn, in Portsmouth, Virginia.
The Pirates, who started off the
reason slow, started to roll last week
as they toppled Guilford with ease
end then urset Lenoir Rhyne at Hic-
korv. The Bucs met Western Carolina
Monday night.
The tilt at Portsmouth was recently
added to the EOC schedule and could
turn out to be a real toughie for the
forces of Coach Howard Porter.
Reports from Portsmouth state
that the independent club is a strong
uitfit composed of former college
I layers and has built up an outstand-
ing mark against competition this
reason.
East Carolina will carry a 6-6 mark
nto the contest and have been tabbed
i.s seven point favorites. The Bucs
will boast a slight height advantage
with Joe Plaster, lanky 6-8 center,
expected to control the boards.
Charlie Adams, senior guard, has
sparked the recent spurt by the lo-
cals and has upi ed his average to al-
most 17 points per game, tops for the
Pirates. Adams has provided the out-
side attack for the Bucs with a ac-
curate jump shot from 15 to 18 feet
outside.
Ike Riddick. junior guard, has also
aided in the recent rise of the locals.
The Greenville native racked up 23
and 17 points in his two outings last
week for his highest total of the sea-
son.
Nick Nichols and Jesse! Curry are
expected to round out the starting
lineup at towards, Nichols, captain
of the 1958-59 club, got the scoring
feel back last week after his worse
scoring slump since entering East
Carolina. The "Blond Bomber" is
still averaging in double figures de-
spite the recent slump.
Jessel Curry, All-Conference and
All-NAIA last season, continues to
be the top playmaker on Pirate club
since his return to the starting line-
up. Curry led the scoring attack last
season with a 16 joint average and
has increased this year's average con-
siderably since re-capturing his start-
ing berth.
Porter will have sophomore Don
Smith to call on for reserve duty
along with Dave Starrett, Charlie
Lewis, Benny Bowes, and Jim Hall.
East Carolina's next appearance in
Memorial Gymnasium will be the 30th
of this month when they have a return
tilt with Western Carolina.

Upsets Big Factor In Standings
Bombers, Rockin? Robins, Kappa
Alpha, Top Their Three Leagues
By BOB GREENE, Intramural Publicity Director
28 19-27 29 75
Last week's Intramural contests
caused a big shuffle in each of the
league standings. A hoast of upsets,
including Pi Kappa Alpha's upset of
Lambda Chi Alpha, two defeats suf-
fered by last week's league leading
Reil Angels, and the fall of the River
Rats, f resent a totally new picture.
U instead Hall inagurated last
week's action on Monday night by
stompping the Spartins 76-50. Lead-
ing Uinstead were big Bob James with
23 points and tennis star, Maurice
Everette with 22 points. Roebuck and
Gaskins tallied 12 each for the losers.
The Falcons, led by Spell's 14
points, edged by a scrappy A4A. club
43-40. Highscorer for the game, how-
ever, was Marvin Throckmorton of
the A.As with 16 points.
Bob Aldridge, Don Prince, and Hugh
Bazemore with 10, 15, and 17 points
respectively, led the high-sailing
Bombers to a 63-34 win over the
previously unbeaten River Rats.
Aldridge's ball handling and hawking
entertained many sideline spectators.
Other Monday night action saw the
Road Runners the Goats in a close 46-
48 contest. Ace's All-Stars put a
black spot on the Red Angel's record
when they handed them a sound 53-
M whip, ing. Raeford Walker and
Larry Crayton bagged a total of 37
points between them to lead the All-
Star scoring, Walker scoring 21 and
Crayton 16. High man for the Angels
was Connie Mack with 14 points.
The Rockin' Robins built up a 21
point first-half lead and coasted to a
17-28 victory over the ROTC. Bob
Benton, Charlie McDonald, and Bob
Watkins led the Robin attack while

Bob Seate and Tom Wainwright hit

iheir 56-21 walloping of the Rinky
Dinks.
In Monday's Fraternity League ac-
tion the Pika's conquered Kappa Sig-
ma Nu's One Eyes 61-39. Al Greene,
Bert May, Fred Bartholomew, and
Tony Mallard all hit in the double
iigures in a well-balanced scoring
attack. However, the One Eyes Bill
Love came up with 20 points to lead
all the individual scoring.
Thet Chi tasted defeat at the hands
of a determined Kappa Sigma Nu
bpuad. Kappa Sig's rebounding and
defensive play proved to be the dif-
ference as they won 37-31 in a low
scoring battle.
Wednesday, January 14 Games
Because of Department Meetings
the regular 6 and 7 o'clock games
ere not scheduled last Wednesday
night. Therefore, only 6 games were
played. In the opener a hustling Kap-
pa Alpha team routed the winless
One Eyes 61-23. Mitch Moon tossed
in 16 points to lead the scoring while
Henry VanSant added 15 and Ray
Gurtner 14 to top the KA scoring.
Dixie Hobgood's 7 points were tops
for the One Eyes.
The upset of the young season came
when a fired up Pi Kappa Alpha
spuad pulled a surprise with a 39-26
stunner over the previously unbeaten
Lambda Chi's. This was a particularly
sad defeat for the Lambda Chi team
because they were riding high on a
two year unbeaten skeen. Bert May's
jump shots and a good display of
teamwork featured the Pika's play.
Charlie Ward, with 12 points, led the
loser's fruitless efforts.
Theta Chi bounced back into the
column with a 54-28 romp over Delta
Sigma Pi. Bill Howell's 17 points and
Ted Johnson's 12 led the winner's
march.
Howard Sumrell dunked in four
baskets and four free throws to lead
the ROTC to s 37-18 shellacking of
the Rinky Dinks. The Rinky Dinks
have failed to register in the win col-
umn.
Ace's fast-breaking Ail-Stars hand-
ed the Spartans their sixth consecu-
tive defeat to the tune of 51-39 in
another Wednesday night game. Bob-
by Rainev and Larry Crayton teamed
up at the guard slots to lead their
club's fast-break offense. Dan Mc-
Laurin bucketed 10 points to top the
Spartan scoring.
In the other Wednesday night con-
test the Rockin' Robins set the Red
Angc's back when they rocked to a
?8-46 decision. Four "Robins" hit into

University of North Carolina's
owerful Tarheel swim team squeeked
out an impressive two noint 44 to 42
win over Coach Ray Martinez's mer-
men last Thursday in the capitol
Hty.
It was EC's second loss of the sea-
son to the UNC club but the first
loss had been by a much larger mar-
in, 15 points.
Harry Bloom, a sophomore slated
for stardom in the water sport for
UNC, again led the home team to
victory. Bloom turned in first places
with the 220 and 440 free style events.
East Carolina took the all impor-
tant 400 yard free style relay in a
time of 3:52.8. This winning team was
composed of Adler, Carrol, Meads
and Sawyer.
Bob Sawyer continued to remain
undefeated in his individual specialty,
lhe 200 yard backstroke. His first
-lace time was 2:20.9.
Tom Carrol nabbed a second place
in the 200 yard butterfly while team-
mate Tommy Tucker was second in
he 20 yard breast stroke.
As they did in the first meeting of
the two clubs earlier in the season,
Ken Midyette and Glenn Dyer were
tops in the diving competition. Mid-
yette was first and Dyer second.
East Carolina will again have its
Hack against the wall when they play
host to one of the top clubs in the
state on Tuesday. The North Carolina
State Athletic Club will swim against
the Martinez mermen in what should
prove to be a thrilling match. Dick
Fadgen, one of the Atlantic Coast
all time greats in the breast stroke
department is a member of the team.
Fadgen has been a member of the
U. S. Olympic swimming team and
the famed Pan American team also.

be a great success too.

Words Are Hard To Swallow
HAVi YOU EVER HAD TO EAT YOUR WORDS AFTER BLOW-
IN G OFF STEAM ON A TOUCHY SUBJECT SUCH AS COACHES
TACTICS IN ATTEMPTING TO WIN BASKETBALL GAMES?
This writer has had to digest some of his well chosen adjectiv
but I must admit that the cause v.as a good one.
WE WHIPPED THE PURE LIVING . . . OUT OF LENOIR
RHYNE COLLEGE. Even though we lost to Western Carolina on M
night, we won the big one to a certain extentwe won the one
knocked Billy We'l's Bears down into third placewe whipped
wh'n it hurt most. Lenoir Rhyne has always made it an attempted ha I -
knock off the Pirates in both football and basketball and usually have.
mostly when the Buc are going strong. The shoe is on the other fool
again. Surethey beat us az nome but we got the last laugh and for
prestige purposes that is what ?ounts. As I have stated before. I
not understood Porter's strategy in the Lenoir Rhyne contest at home
they took us to the cleaners nor did I understand the tactics he empio.
when the Bucs were toroed by High Point on the latter's home court. But .
it is not necessary the students understand either. I certainly do not be-
lie ie most of us Hie to be the type to simply jump down the coaches'
thrat when he is loosing and praise him when he is winning. I have seen
many basketball games in memorial gymnasium when we lost which were
terrific games. This is the case in many instances but I sincerelv believe
we should congratulate our team and ita coach for upsetting last fOari
North State Champion.
Western Carolina is here on January 30th. The Bucs are in a non-
conference clash with Bynum Motors, an all star outfit, at Portsmouth
Saturday night. We should make the Western Carolina game next Fr
night a "must" even if we do not get a chance to see the Pirate quint
action at Portsmouth. The WCC-ECC game will be a big one as we can
play the role of giant killer for the second time this season. When WCC
conies to town let us all be ladiei and gentlemen, not as they acted ast
yearlet us not belittle the players on their club man for man, as the
WCC fans did ours last year.
We should be good clean sports about the whole thing and ft
last years treatment of our players by the students of W'C. Lets all be
the gym on the night of January 30th and softly root our team to v
out of these Catamounts.
Everette High Scorer
Maurice Everette is appearing to be a one man gang for his team in
East Caroina's torrid intramuray lketball play. The Robersonville nai
scored 56 points in one game and although the statistics are not available
he has certainly scored more points than any other player in the three
leagues. Everette is a former varsity basketball player and the top set
tennis player in the North State Conference.
Coming Sports
Many of us either lost ou winter sports schedules or rely or
college and local newspapers to provide us with a schedule of coming evert?
in the sports world at East Carolina. Therefore here are some of the
basketball and swimming contests which will be taking place during the
next few weeks.
