the same day. Two concerts at the
irginla Beach High School are sched-
uled for 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
An organization sponsored by the
East Carolina music department, the
band is now making its eighth an-
nual tour. Seventy-three student in-
strumentalists are members.
During the tour, programs to be
presented will include works by Bach,
Rimsky-Korsakov, Clifton Williams,
and other composers. Selections will
also include popular numbers and in-
strumental solos by talented student
members of the organization.
Fanciers of the more grisly chill-
and-shudder drama, especially the
species that reveals the psychological
basis of crime, are advised that the
line forms at the right ait the College
Union for reserved seats for the Play-
house's presentation of "Night Must
Fall This is the famous Broadway
and London hit melodrama by Emlyn
Williams which will open a three per-
formance run at McGinnis Auditor-
ium on February 9, and continue
through February 11.
Departing from the established
"who-done-it?" ipattern of thrillers
of this genre, Mr. Williams creates
no mystery about the identity of the
killer in "Night Must Fall Even be-
fore a deceptively charming and deb-
onair bellhop at a resort hotel, named
Dan, arrives at the Essex bungalow
of disagreeable old Mrs. Bramson, the
audience realizes that this dashing
Dan is linked with the disappear-
ance of a woman guest of the nearby
hotel.
The principal fascination in "Night
Must Fall and the quality which
has caused this play to be remem-
bered for years as one of the best of
its kind, is the breathless study it
offers of tiie ingratiating central
character. He is an engaging young
man with an indefinable air of evil,
slowly revealed as having the imagi-
nation of an evil child and a diseased
longing for self-admiration. The other
characters, with one exception, do not
realize that a menacing young cut-
throat is living under the roof of the
Bramson bungalow. Only the suspi-
cions of of a neurotic Bramson niece
are aroused by the strange boy's ac-
tions. As mentally twksted as he, she
is both drawn and repelled by him,
and finally shields him.
Doug Mitchell will play the psycho-
pathic Dan in the Playhouse's pesen-
tation of "Night Must Fall and Dor-
ning Jenkins will be seen as the el-
derly Mrs. Bramson, so charmed by
his slick manner that she adds him
to her household staff. Karen Best

Circle K Club Emphasizes Community Service
By MERLE SUMMERS
"The Circle K Club is not a social
fraternity but is a service organiza-
tion for college men operating on the
campus and is similar to Kiwanis and
other service clubs. It is a leadership
and character building group which I
serves the campus and the community.
"The Circle K Club is not just an j
organization but a driving force, de-
veloping the leadership for tomorrow I
while it creates a better college or!
university today It is first and last
a service club.
The Circle K Club was founded on
the East Carolina College campus in
December, 1949. It was the fourth
Circle K to apply for national char-
ter. Nationally, the idea of a service
club for college men was started at
Pullman, Washington, by Jay Emer-
son in 1936, Emerson's idea led to the
development of a Circle K fraternity
sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of
Pullman.
During the years that followed, Ki-
wanis Clubs not only sponsored help
and guidance programs, but they also
created service clubs for college and
university campuses.
The first Circle K as we know it
today was organized at Carthage Col-
lege at Carthage, Illinois, in 1947.
The number gradually spread through-
out the United States and Canada.
Today there are over 200 active clubs.
Tri-Sig Initiates
Ten New Sisters
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority has
initiated into the sorority ten new
members after informal rush and a
pledge period held during fall quar-
ter.
New members are as follows:
Jolinda Brewer, Ruth Jordan, Clara
Faye Crawford, Jane Perry, Eliza-
beth G. Walker, Dnphen Lktle, Diana
Foster, Anne Johnson, Bonnie Rues,
and Brenda Smith.
It is sponsored here on the East Car-
olina College campus in cooperation
with college officials by the Green-
ville Kiwanis club. They do not spon-
sor Circle K in order to build future
Kiwanians. but do it as a part of the
program of service to youth and the
(.immunity.
The Circle K motto is "We Build
A building for justx-e, liberty, demo-
cracy, and a better world in which to
live is the goal of Circle K.
The main objectives and purposes
of Circle K are to emphasize the
American and Canadian way of life,
to provide an opportunity for leader-
ship training in service, to serve the
campus and community, to promote
good fellowship and high scholarship,
and to encourage the daily living of
the Golden Rule in all human rela-
tions.
"Circle K its an opportunity for
college men because it provides a
means of leadership in a college com-
munity that service clubs are giving
in the business and professional
world It gives an opportunity for
self-development by the leadership,
good citizenship, education, and fel-
lowship through service to the com-
munity and through club meetings.
It gives an opportunity to serve and
to learn at the same time.
The membership of Circle K "shall
consist of male students of good char-
acter and scholastic standing who
are officially enrolled in the institu-
tion where the club exists A mem-
ber must also be of sophomore stand-
ing at East Carolina.
Sonny Basinger is the president of
the local Circle K Club. Benny Bowes
is the secretary-treasurer. Other
members include Bob Ward, Mike
Riddick, Jim Speight, Paul Goodwin,
Jim Blythe, Jim Maasey, Raymond
Gillikin, Leonard Lao, Otis Strother,
and Bobby Edwards. John A Messick
is the Kiwanis representative and
Dr. John Reynolds is the faculty ad-
visor.
Members recently inducted into the
club are Glenn Bass, Bret Watson,
Merle 'Summers, Buddy Wyatt, Lowell
Rhodes, Joe Flake, Jerry Wilderson,
and Walker Allen.

Excessive 'Yes Men'
Influence EC Thinking;
School Needs Fast Action
This is rural, agricultural, small-town,
eastern North Carolina. Our literature,
art. speech, and points of view reflect this
fact daily. East Carolina is potentially a
major factor in influencing the patterns of
thought in this part of North Carolina. Yet
does the college exert any influence on its
sura uncling communities? Perhaps so. How-
ever, should we not occasionally examine the
amount and quality of East Carolina's in-
fluence?
Most E.C.C. students come from this
part of the state. As Freshmen, miost of them
have i background of 12 to 15 years of ac-
cepting blindly the ideas, mores, and social
standards handed down by their fathers who
accepted those handed down by their fathers,
etc. Thus they bedome another link in a
chain of stale ideas.
We feel any college should be a testing
ground in which these ideas and standards
are examined and questioned to be either
reinforced or discarded. A college should be
a violently bailing spring of radically new and
different ideas, not a stagnant pool of accept-
ed mores and platitudes. Presentlly we feel
East Carolina is nearer a stagnant pool than
it is an active spring.
For example, in Bible beltish eastern
North Carolina the nude female figure is
considered synonymous with sex and sex is
something dirty, low, taboo. This is the atti-
tude of a great many people in this part of
the state. Thus, the idea develops that a nude
female is something one should never see,
Asthetic values are never considered in this
evaluation of a woman.
Students accept these values in their
. o mmunities and bring them to East Caro-
lina. The college does very little or nothing
to question them. In some cases it even rein-
forces them by such rulings as the one im-
posed on the art department which will not
allow a model to pose in the nude. This par-
ticular ruling not only reduces art to a vulgar
level, it also prevents adequate teaching pro-
cedures. As one wt professor commented,
"You can't really show students the muscular
or bone structure and anatomy of the human
body when it is covered with a bathing suit
or drape
This one small example is not the only
case of unchallenged ideas. Another area in
which stale ideas are not challenged is the
rules system. Many of the S.G.A. and admin-
istration rulings for student conduct are so
designed that they encourage acceptance of
mores without question.
For example the Key states, "The posses-
sion of. drinking of, andffor transportation
of alcoholic beverages on the East Carolina
College campus prohibited This is typically
eastern North Carolina thinking. True there
are people who drink and people who do not
drink, but to deny social drinking as an exist-
ing situation in contemporary society is un-
realistic. Would it not be better to expose
student ideas on drinking to critical analysis
in order to permit the student to make a
rational decisionof his own?
We feel East Carolina's faculty, admin-
istrati n. and student body is primarily a
concentration of "yes" men who accept and
agree with those ideas which are popular . . .
which are acceptable to the surrounding com-
munities not because they are right or good,
but simply because they have existed and been
accepted in the past.
EAST CAROLINIAN
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
A fish in a fresh, cold spring is active
and strong, but one in a stagnant pond is
sluggish and weak. Students react to their
environment in much the same way A stu-
dent in a challenging, intellectually' contro-
versial environment will respond by joining
in the fight. He will pick ideas apart for
criticism and analysis and benefit from the
exercise. On the other hand, a student in a
stale, apathetic environment will tend to ac-
cept what he is given without question He
fails to question his own values and the values
1 i his peers and consequently becomes apa-
thetic, prejudiced, and intellectually lazy.
What East Carolina needs most, we feel,
is a fight. Gerald Johnson, a lecturer with the
lanforth Foundation, suggested this almost
two years ago, but it never occurred We will
go even further and say East Carolina not
only needs a fight, it needs a damn good
fight and it needs it now.
Who will start this fight is yet to be
seen. Maybe it will never start. We hope it
will. We hope somewhere in this school there
is a student or a faculty member or an ad-
ministrator who still has enough integrity and
intellectual enthusiasm left to shout to one
of his contemporaries, "You are a stupid in-
competent slob" and then proceed to prove
it . . . publically with his adversary fighting
every step and others joining in on both sides.
This would be a revolution in thinking
on campus. It could spark battles that would
wake the whole school. If a few radical ideas
get thrown into the open what of it? Ifs
time for the surrounding communities to
realize a college is more than a diploma mill
or a baby sitting agency . . . it's time for us
to wtake up, think, and say what we are think-
ing.

is on a platform, for he represents
the college's sports. He is the hero
of heroes when he wins. Parades and
rallys are held for him and cheers and
songs are written about him. But let
him lose, let him be defeated, and
the world is his enemy, his critic, and
his dirge.
Then there is the lonesome one. He
wants so much to have his dreams
come true, yet each time he trys to
accomplish a goal something goes
wrong. What he is searching for is
inside him. His head is bowed and
his mind is ever disturbed. If he finds
the something or someone that he
needs, he will give his all to acquire
it and keep it. I would feel sorry for
him, except that I know his day of
victory to will come and stay.

Class President Announces
Plans For Senior Banquet
Are we really wasting away our
time? Everyday students of college
age and younger are faced with the
aigument that they are getting soft
and that the American youth is just
not what he used to be.
Could this be that back in our fa-
ther's time the .people had different
evaluations than what they now have ?
In the days when Dad was growing
up, it was commonplace for a youth
to be well thought of if he worked in
the field all day for his Dad, plowing
and shucking corn. And in the girls
case, she was more respected if she
washed clothes the entire day.
Seems to me this was a leftover
from the pioneers when the entire
family worked all day just to exist.
How in the world is the world going
to ever progress if we don't give our
young people time to be creative?
Thomas Edison is a good example.
Mr. Edison as a boy didn't have a
great amount of daily chores mainly
because his father was well-to-do but
he did make use of his free time. He
was continually experimenting with
anything of a mechanical nature. As
a result he is thought of and respect-
ed as one of our greatest inventors.
So how about giving us a Mttle
time, parents. As you well remember
Rome wasn't built in a day. So what
if we are getting soft, we havent
got any fields to plow and we seem
to carry out our everyday functions
to a creditable degree. Maybe if we
have a little time on oar hands we
can make life more comfortable for

Student Voters Ignore Election Duties
By MARY ANNE PENNINGTON
In the United States, at any time I certainly wont neglect my obliga-
nf irr0ne TV bSerVe cr0wds tkm to y government is spoken
of enthusiastic, alert, well-informed
citizens pushing their way into are-
nas, stadiums, and gymnasiums to
witness football, baseball, basketball
nd hockey games, tennis matches
and swimming meets. The spectators
at these events scream, rant and
rave, place bets, and become involved
in intense arguments all for
their favorite teams.
When it comes to governmental
competition the crowds thin out con-
siderably and lose their glow of en-
thusiasm. The arguments are still
present but the intenseness has dis-
appeared. The same people who pull-
ed their hair out because of excite-
ment at an athletic contest, become
incurably lethargic at the mention of
a grovemmental election, be it presi-
dential, state or one to decide on an
amendment to the constitution. What
is the reason for this change in at-
titudes? Are the American people
allergic to the subject of government?
We have overheard discussions be-
tween students on campus concern-
ing the low voting record of the
the instructors would not have to de-
scend to the low level of interpreta-
tion and instruction now prevalent
in order to reach the students. That
low level would be reserved for any
hyena or other low-type animal de-
siring to rant, wail, rock, roll, or
sputter.
Dear Editor:
The tentative date for this year's
Senior Banquet is May 12. This year's
banquet will be the best ever. After
four years of hard work, exploration,
learning, and pure 'sweat" we feel
that we deserve a "breather In ac-
cordance with this feeling, this Year's
banquet will exhibit an aura of re-
laxation.
Gn the afternoon of May 12, there
will be a concert in honor of grad-
uating Seniors. Immediately following
this concert the banquet will begin.
All Seniors and their dates will be
invited.
We want it understood that this
banquet will be in honor of all grad-
uating Seniors. However, we do plan
to recognize certain outstanding in-
dividuals such as, for instance, the
outstanding scholar in each major
field, outstanding leaders, award
winners, and perhaps the wives who
have worked in order that their hus-
bands might receive a college educa-
tion. Now we have arrived at the sub-
ject of this letter.
Other colleges in this area such as
Wake Forest and N.C. State have
inculcated what is known as the "P.
H. T. Degree" or the "Put Hubby
Through Degree This "degree" is
awarded to the wives who have work-
Here's what we want you to do. If
you aie a married Senior and your
wife meets these qualifications and
you would like for her to be honored
at our Senior Banquet simply go to
the Student Union Office and write
the name you would like to appear
en the "degree Allow me to insert
here that these "degrees" are very
attractive, similar to a college degree
except for the paper on which they
are printed.
There will be a notebook on the

where you will sign.
The success of this venture will de-

EC Cheerleaders

something to do with the yells they

Are you in doubt about what pro-
fession or vocation you will follow
after graduation from college? The
best way to choose a profession is by
working at it a while to fin whether
you really like it and are suited to it.
And here is a chance for you to do
just that.
South Carolina pubik libraries this
summer are offering internships to
be awarded on a competitive basis to
college juniors and seniors who are in
search of a profession and who meet
certain other qualifications. The in-
ternships are work-training positions
in county and regional public libra-
ries which have been selected for the
quality of guidance and work they
can offer.
The interns will work lull-time for
three months at a salary of $160 per
month.
The work will be iplanned as an
introduction to the various phases of
public library work with the purpose
of giving the intern an opportunity
to find out from firsthand experi-
ence what a public librarian is and
does. The libraries sponsoring the
program hope that some of the in-
terns may decide to become librarians,
but there will be no obligation en-
tailed in acceptance of an award.
Internships are open to rising jun-
iors and seniors, and graduating sen-
iors who:
1. have one, or plan to do, the
greatest .part of their college work in
the liberal arts
2. have at least a C plus or a B
minus average.
3. have an inquiring mind, enjoy
reading and sharing it with others,
stimulated by the vast treasure house
of knowledge found in books
4 are in good physical and mental
health
Consideration will also be given to
applications from outstanding fresh-
men (rising sophomores).

Playhouse Starts New Interest
In Campus Drama Productions
The college Playhouse initiated a
new drama form to the campus last
week as it presented its first produc-
tion of theatre-in-the-round in the
new Dungeon theatre.
The drama variation new to ECC
consists of productions in which the
actors have a close relationship to
the audience. The theatre is a small
room in the basesment of Ragsdale
Dormitory which has been adapted
for this purpose by members of the
drama group.
Opening the new theatre, mem-
bers of the Playhouse presented

CU Honors Assistant Director
'Compact' Proposes College Support
Led by president Dot Smith, the
College Union Student Board and
Committee group honored Mrs.Yvonne
Smith at a combo dance Saturday
night, February 4, in the lounge of
the College Union.
The group presented an engraved
silver sandwich tray to Mrs. Smith,
who will be leaving East Carolina at
the end of this winter quarter.
Mrs. Smith, wife of student, Lewis
Karl Smith, has been on the College
Union staff as assistant recreation
supervisor and assistant to the direc-
tor of College Union activities since
November, 1968.
Miss Cynthia Mendenhall, director
of College Union activities comment-
ed, "Mrs. Smith's excellent quality
of organization and efficiency in de-
tailed (planning have been especially
beneficial in developing the College
Union program. It is difficult to fa-
thom the 'behind the scenes' work in-
volved in such special events as the
CU Carnival or such service projects
as the monthly campus calendar and
the publishing of the campus direc-
tory. Mrs. Smith has been the main-
stay in many such projects. We shall
miss her undeterminably
dealing with the lives of two families
in a small Mexican village.
Although plans for future produc-
tions in the new theatre are not defi-
nite yet, members of the group have
several plays in mind, including some
of the one act plays of Tennessee
Williams.
Tentatively scheduled also are one
act plays written by EC students.
Dr. Robert Rickert, Director of the
Playhouse commented, "Since the
Playhouse is supported by funds from
the student government it owes an
obligation to the student body. How-
ever, there are many good plays which
would not be appreciated or under-
stood at all by many of the students
. . . yet those students whose pri-
mary interest is drama have an inter-
est in some of these plays in ad-
dition to a need for gaining more
experience in drama. This type of
operation makes it possible to pro-
duce certain plays for a small, select
audience who will appreciate them
and at the same time give more of
our drama students a chance to gain
experience.
"We feel this variation will give us
an opportunity to accomplish many
of these goals without forgetting our
responsibility to the entire student
body. These plays will not replace
legular Playhouse productions, but
will add to them

Amid increasing concern over soar-
ing costs of education, a group of
Cleveland business leaders are point-
ing the way to effective private sup-
port for our 2000 colleges and uni-
versities, through a system of no-
ings-attached contributions of at
lee t one percent of their companies'
inome after taxes.
The "Cleveland Compact" which is
described in an article in the Febru-
ary Reader's Digest, was proposed
by top Cleveland industrialists who
were alarmed at the challenge to
V. S. educational supremacy by the
Communist countries, and were un-
convinced that federal aid to educa-
tion provided a satisfactory solution
to the problem.
' From the first 21 signers of the
"Compact some two million dollars
yearly will be produced for higher
education. Author Clarence Hall esti-
mates that more than half a billion
dollars annually could be raised if
corporations generally were to follow
Cleveland's lead.
This new partnership between Am-
erica's corporations and her colleges
involves more than just the giving
of money. Many of the Cleveland
Compact's signers have become ac-
tive on the boards of the colleges
they are helping. Amd faculty mem-
bers of several colleges have made
frequent visits to one company that
helps support them. Mutual friend-
ships and understanding are the re-
sults.
The Cleveland idea is spreading,
the Digest indicates, with similar
plans being considered in Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Dallas, Omaha and Wor-
cester, Mass as well as by the en-
tire state of Indiana.
Included in the Cleveland plan are

With a friendly smile and a helpful
and encouraging word, Mrs. Sallie
Ingram came to the East Carolina
Canvpus this year to be dormitory
counselor to 146 Jarvis Hall girls.
According to some of her advisees
tier ability to make the girls feel at
ease and at home can be sensed the
first time one talks with her. Many
fills bring their troubles and prob-
lems to her and she is always ready
to listen and to give helpful advice.
Her understanding nature can be
Letter comprehended by the philoso-
phy of life which she follows. "I firm-
ly believe stated Mrs. Ingram, "that
any person who works with youth
should have a deep realization of the
sanctity of the enterprise on which
he or she is embarked. It is only in
a mood of humility and reverence for
life that personalities are helped to-
ward spiritual strength and depth
Mrs. Ingram came here from Ken-
anansville, and James Kenan High
School where she taught social studies
and served as guidance counselor.
She is a graduate of East Carolina
College, where she majored in social
studies and minored in French. Re-
cently she returned to EC and re-
ceive a master's degree in secondary
education. She is now working on a
MA degree in guidance.
While an undergraduate student at
EC, Mrs. Ingram was very active in
student activities. Besides being the
president of the YWCA, she was ac-
tive in the Student Council and had
a major roll in the senior class play.
Mrs. Ingram was a college friend
of Dean of Women, Ruth White, who
helped her make the decision to come
to East Carolina this year.
Mrs. Ingram is a life member of
the National Education Association,
and is a member of the North Caro-
lina Education Association of which
she is on the planning committee. She

She is also active in youth work
of the Methodist Church. In August
of I960, she acted as dean of girls
at the Annual Conference Session of
Methodist Youth Fellowship, which
was held at Duke University.
Mrs. Ingram's hobbies are working
with young people and watching poli-
tics from the sidelines. She also en-

Tour For Interested Readers
(Information for this feature was

South Africa.)
When word is mentioned about
South Africa, most people immediate-
ly think about a primitive race of
people . . . natives who live in grass
huts, and who are surrounded by
jungle areas and roaming wild beasts.
It's interesting to note the similar-
est gold mining industry was built.
During World War II the Sixth

Mark Clark. In the Korean War, a

that the two U.S.As continue to grow
together into a peaceful, progressive
tomorrow.
dustrial, mining, financial and com-
mercial life lies Johannesburg, city
of over one million population. A
stroll down her Commissioner Street
is surprisingly reminiscent of a walk
around New York's Times Square.
It seems as if the city's entire pop-
ulation is racing around the down-
town area, shopping in huge depart-
ment stores, grabbing the quick "bus-
inessman's lunch rushing to keep
important appointments.
As in New York, bits of conversa-

the modern metropolis which grew
from the mining-camp of seventy-
five years ago.
Theater-goers, dressed in their
smartest, dot the downtown streets
at night. For Johannesburg, like New
York, is the leading cultural center
in her country. Ballet, opera and
shows recently hailed on Broadway
attract thousands nightly. Here, too,
raucus vaudeville houses of the early
20th i-entury were soon replaced with
the wonders of the silver screen.
The striking similarities between
life in the Union of South Africa and
in the United States of America make
more sense when we look back into
the history of the two U.S.As.
The Dutch East Indian Company
started the first permanent Euro-
pean settlement at Cape Town in
1652 and the Dutch West Indian Com-
pany was responsible for establishing
New Amsterdam (now New York
City) in 1628.
Similarity in systems of govern-
ment as well as in the lay-out of
Cape Town and New Amsterdam was
startling. In both oases, the main
street was called the Heerengracht.
Both cities had a Waal Street .called
Wall Street in modern New York and
Wale Street in Gape Town.)
The earliest defenses erected on the
Fresh River at Table Bay and on the
Fresh River at Hartford, Conn, were
both called Fort Good Hope.
The American War of Independ-
ence had many repercussions at the
Cape of Good Hotpe. Inspired by the
example of the Thirteen Colonies,
frontier farmers at the Cape revolted
against Dutch colonial rule and set
up shortlived republics of their own.
lAimerican engineers played a prom-
inent role in opening up the vast dia-
mond and gold deposits discovered in
South 'Africa during the latter half of
the 19th century. Cecil John Rhodes
selected an American engineer, Gard-
ner F. Williams, to head his mammoth
diamond mining concern, the Da
Beers Consolidated Mines.
The first Government Mining En-
gineer of the Boer Republic of the
Transvaal was an American, E. Wood
ford. California mining methods be-

REVIEW
By RICHAKD BOYD
ECC vs ACC
Tensions accumulated to a high degree last Friday night during
the renewed rivalry between East Carolina and Atlantic Christian. The
Bulk) ga finally managed to win the prestige contest by a one point
margin during the final seconds. Only a Jack Boyd one-hander ffcom well
behind the foul circle eliminated defeat for the visitors.
A packed audience of 3,000 fans, a minority of them being from
Wilson to cheer i'or the Hullogs, were on hand at tip-off time. Coach Earl
Smith's Bucs and Jack McComas's ACC five employed a tight zone defense
which caused the offensive tactics of both teams to dwindle into very little
scori&f during the first portion of the encounter.
Of course, the offensive play was characterized by poor shooting,
porccntago-wise until the latter part of the first half. But the atmosphere
of this being an ACC vs. ECC contest, the large crowd, and both teams
playing their most aggressive game could have been a vital factor in the
low scoring that was taking place.
.lack Boyd was the Bulldog that barked the most. The former Duke
University layer began to break a rather close encounter into a comfort-
able margin fbr the Wilson school. At one point the now hot ACC quint
ltd by M points. The Bulldogs who earlier could not drop a foul shot, now
;vorc putting in everything they threw at the foul line, and close to every
shot was being netted from the floor. This all was taking place within
about i'ive minutes. With only two minutes left on the scoreboard clock,
and the half about to terminate it appeared the visitors would have a good
15 point margin at the half-way point for their fans to boast about
However, ACC found themselves a comfortable 12 points ahead when the
horn sounded ending the initial half.
A 2816 advantage was held by Atlantic Christian. Four field goals
and eight foul shots were the only scoring the usually high scoring Pi-
rates could show for their first half effort. The ECC five hit for only two
field goals by Cotton Clayton and Bill Otte, until Danny Bowen entered
the game, and this 5'8" Sophomore hit for two quick field goals prior to
the half to give the Buc fans something to talk about during the inter-
mission.
Coach Earl Smith, showing a great deal of confidence in his crew,
started the same five in the second half that he started at game time.
Immediately, the Pirates were on fire as Clayton, Otte. Lewis, Smith,
and Wi st. began to look as if they were playing for the league champion-
ship Cotton started to hit, and Charley Lewis followed the ECC playmaker
with his outside shooting.
Atlantic Christian hit a cold spell and only a few points separated
the two teams within minutes time. With approximately 10 minutes left
on the scoreboard clock, Don Smith enabled the home team to go ahead,
in ttu ECC comeback of the year. With five minutes of play gone, a 28-12
lead ly the Bulldogs had been erased to a 4089 lead by the Bucs. However,
UV made a small comeback of their own and took the lead momentarily
Big Bill Otte got hot and the Pirates surged to a shakey 49-45 lead.
Thia was hard to believe, but the Bucs were playing fantastic basketball
I arisen with their first half showing. Prior to this stage of the
the Bucs lost the services of playmaker Cotton Clayton for a
short time. Coach Karl Smith was forced to substitute for Cotton, and
ieplaced the valuable Sophomore with dependable Benny Bowes. Benny
joined his mates on their hot scoring spree and it looked as though East
Carolina was to be the winner over their rivals.
However, the Wilson quint was not to be denied. Again the Bulldogs
Jack Boyd with the help of Dick Knox, and Sophomore Jerry Fritz aided
their team into overcoming the four point ECC lead, but the visitors
never led by more than a few points until the final seconds of play.
In fact, the lead changed hands several times in the latter portion
of the well-played final half. With one minute left -on the clock, the ACC
quint was ahead by only one point. The score was 59-68. However, the
Bucs had ball possession at mid-court after a time out was taken. With
the seconds ticking off, Don Smith was clear for a jump shot from the
foul line. The Senior Captain netted the shot that gave the Bucs a 60-69
margin with only 40 seconds remaining.
After another time out, Atlantic Christian had ball possession. It
appeared as though the Bulldogs were going to lose the ball with only 25
seconds remaining, but a possible traveling infraction was not called by
the officials. The visitors were working the ball around in order to have
a shot up by one of their deadly shooters.
A quick pass to Boyd with only five seconds remaining proved fatal
the Pirates. Because the AOC star who had been averaging 20.2 points
I w contest hit with his long one hander, thus killing the Bucs. East Carolina
still had five seconds to score, but failed to bring the ball down court in
that length of time.
So ended a contest that provided the thrills and chills that eastern
North Carolina fans thought they would see when they started out their
evening by braving the freezing cold to watch the two teams in action.
Florida Gators Down ECC Swimmers
A powerful Florida U. swimming
quint defeated the ECC swimmers
72-29 in a meet held at the loser's
pool last Thursday night. The Gator
team was very strong in all depart-
ments during the meet. Sophomore
Ed Zschau continued to live up to his
expectations by winning the breast
stroke in nearly record time for the
Memorial Swimming Pool.
However, Zschau's performance was
not enough as the visitor's were a
more experienced crew. The five time
Southeastern champion quint which
had just previously walloped Georgia
by an 84-14 margin were in top form
for the East Carolina met. The Ga-
tors are on a Carolina tour, and in-
vaded Chapel Hill and Winston-Salem
last week at meets with North Caro-
lina and Wake Forest's Demon Dea-
cons over the last weekend.
The next varsity swimming meet
will be with William and Mary of
Norfolk on February 15. This meet
will be in Greenville for an afternoon
swim, and so will the February 18
engagement meet with Washington
and Lee's Generals from Lexington,
Virginia.
Coach Ray Martinez's crew oppose
the Florida quint again this season
in a meet at Gainesville, Florida on
the 27th of February. The Miami Hur-
ricanes will also be on hand for this
meet. The Bucs do not return home
for the remainder of the season after
these engagements. Meets with Flor-
ida State at Tallahassee, Florida, and
Virginia Military Institute of Lex-
ington, Virginia follow the Florida
trip.
The National Association Inter-
collegiate Athletics Championship
meet will be held in Detroit, Michigan
on the 16, 17, and 18 of March, thus
terminating the entire ECC schedule.
PROMISING CAGERS for Bucs are
from left to right Danny Bowen,
Bryant Tudor, and Floyd Wicker.
Christians Invade
Bucs Win Earlier
Battle With Elon
When the Elon College Fighting
Christians visit Memorial Gymna-
sium this coming Saturday, quite a
game should be in store. In the earlier
game at Elon, EC won by a very nar-
row margin of two points.
Going into the Christmas holidays,
the Christians were experiencing hard
times. But during the break, the Elon
quintet seemed to find themselves,
and they went on to cop honors in a
tournament which they had entered.
Coach Bill Miller, whose last year's
record of 9 wins. 17 losses placed him
ir. the second division, is looking to
improve that standing this year. The
Elon team has only two remaining
conference games scheduled, and they
appear in the North State Conference
Tournament, which will again be held
in Lexington, N. C. For the game
against the Pitt County Pirates, Elon
hopes to balance the conference stand-
ings even more.
Seven lettermen returned to this
year's club, and among them were
both of last year's team scoring
leaders. Ken Smith, a 17 point per
game man, and Richard Conaster, a
15 points per game man, returned to
lead the sometimes potent Elon of-
fense.
Last season, EC won all three of
its games with Elon. The victories
weren't all worth the price, however.
In the last clash, starters Don Smith
and Benny Bowes were recipients of
broken bones, and that was a primary
reason why the Pirates failed to win
the conference tournament. Both boys
are in top shape for this game, though
and being relied upon to help put the
back in the win column.
Bucs
Pirates Trim Apps
By 72-70 Margin
A spectacular team effort by Coach
Karl Smith's East Carolina five re-
sulted in a 72-70 victory over a strong
Appalachian quint in Memorial Gym-
nasium Tuesday night, Jan. 31. Three
thousand partisan Pirate rooters
watched the Bucs move into a third
place tie with this same Appalachian
team due to the victory.
A strong Bill Otte hit for 23 points
to pace the Bucs to their 10th victory
against only 3 setbacks in league
play. Charley Lewis scored 13 for the
winners, while Cotton Clayton, Don
Smith, and Lacy West contributed 12
pointa each to the ECC cause.
The tense contest saw the Apps
take a commanding 25-19 point lead
midway during the first half. How-
ever, the Bucs eventually pulled
ahead. The score changed hands five
times during a tight second half, and
the encounter was close until the fi-
nal buzzer sounded ending the well-
played contest.
During the final minute of action
determined App quint narrowed the
margin to 71-70, and regained ball
ipossession from the Pirates. How-
ever, the visitors missed on their try
for the field goal that would have
confronted the mountain school to
victory. Hence, the Bucs were on the
all-important offensive side at this
late stage in the game.
With seconds remaining Bill Otte
tailed his 23rd point of the night with
a foul shot that finished the nights
scoring for both quints. Otte was
easily the outstanding player for the
Pirates; the valuable Freshman pivot
man has proven to be one of the most
improved players in the league. The
victory left the Bucs behind the Bears
of Lenoir Rhyne who have lost but
two contests prior to this encounter.

ACC Edge ECC Cagers 61-60
A long one handed push shot by
Jack Boyd gave the Atlantic Christian
Bulldogs a 61-60 verdict over arch
rival Last Carolina in the losers gyiu
last rnoay night, i'hree thousand
enUmaiaatk fans (estimated) saw the
V uaoa school lead as much as 14
points during the first half of action.
However, Coach Earl Smith's charges
worked the hall beautifully during
the second hall of play to score often,
and oft-set the Bulldog lead into a
margin of their own.
East Carolina was not hitting its
INC.
bhooting percentage during the first cottrt,
half oi action, and Jack Boyd, the
night's high scorer with 18 points, led
the determined visitors off to their
comfortable margin. Tiiis was not be-
fore ECC had taken an early 14-10
lead. Cotton Clayton and Bill Otte
had the only home field goals until
Dan Bowen, a 5'8" Sophomore enter-
ed the contest in the final minutes of
the first half of play and scored two
quick one banders. ,
A 28-16 margin prevailed for the
potential winners at half time, but a
miraculous comeback by ECC saw the
.scoreboard clock show the Bulldogs
behind 49-46 with still ten minutes
left to play in the ball game. Charley
Lewis and Bill Otte were responsible
for this surge.
However, Boyd and company were
hot as a firecracker on the fourth of
July during the last 10 minutes. ECC
was nearly equally superb, thus al-
most counteracting the Bulldog of-
fense. In fact, every ECC player hit
well in the final half. Cotton Clayton
was handicaipped due to a total of 4
fouls against him and had to be re-
moved a portion of the second half of
play by Coach Earl -Smith.
The exciting contest was nip and
tuck until the final seconds. Clayton
re-entered the rugged contest with"
less than five minutes left to play.
AOC held the lead at this point, and
the Bucs did finally manage to over-
take their rivals with less than a
minute left.
With 40 seconds remaining in the
ball game Don Smith hit on a jump
shot giving the Bucs a 60-59 advan-
tage. But it was Atlantic Christian
in possession now with seconds ticking
oif the scoreboard clock. Jack Boyd
waited until there was but 15 sec-
onds remaining to hit on his long push
shot from behind the foul circle.
The Pirates attempted to get an-
other shot away, but were unable to
do so, thus the Bulldogs duplicated

The inconsistency of the Bucs to
hit in the early portion of the ame
was a major factor that contributed
to the Pirate defeat. The ECC quint
were as hot and cold during the con-
test as they were in any encounter
that they have participated in during
the current campaign.
The victory was ACC's sixth
against five defeats in league play,
and was the Pirate's fourth defeat in
