Summer Scool Dance
Tommy Mallison announced plans
to stage the annual summer school
dance in Wright Auditorium July 7,
at 9:30 following a concert which is
to begin at 8:00 prior to the dance.
Signed to play for the dance and
concert is the Billy May Band, under
the direction of Frankie Lester. This
is May's second appearance on the
campus.
As in the past, a summer school
queen will be named and crowned at
the dance. The election of the queen
by the student body will be on Wednes-
day, July 5 in the College Union be-
tween the hours of 8:30 an 3:30.

During the first meeting, opposi-
tion was raised because the apparent
price of $1,500.00 would be more than
the SGA could afford for a concert.
The Basie group would appear for a
two heur concert on the evening of
July 13.
In the second meeting, however,
much student opinion had changed,
since the representatives had
' talked with members of their
respective groups. During this
meeting it was pointed out
that the Entertainment Committee
had obtained Basie for a price one-
half of his usual cost ($3,000). Several
members of the group stated that
the students would enjoy the conceit
by Mr. Basie, even though it did ap-
1 pear as if the money woald be in ex-
cess of the usual amount spent u a
summer entertainment series.
NSA Issue
In a suggestion made by the regular
term SGA, stating that tha summer
SGA send three representatives to
investigate the National Student As-
sociation, at their yearly conference
to be heki in Madison, Wisconsia, the
group passed and appropriated $900
to do this. Presently, there is a pro-
poia.1 before the regular term SGA
to re-join the NSA, after having
dropped membership from this organ-
ization in 1959. the three delegates
will attend the meetings to observe
the operation of the association and

tion to our SGA.

lazy Summer Offers
New Perspectives
Summer, with its lackadaisical way of
life, has slowed disciplinary action for female
students to a snail's pace. There seems to pe
no holdover of major disciplinary offenses
from Spring quarter, and the course of things
is running smoothly. Perhaps too smoothly!
Has summer quietened the rebels, the
spirited masses?
Perhaps the past year, webbed in fun
and frivolity, has released its hold on the
rebels, the spirited ones. As we fall from the
webb that has held us securely the past
months, we are suddenly aware of a new
perspective.
It is time to take a serious, sobering in-
sight into our reasons for being here.
We slowly realize that we are here for
more than mere fun and frivolity. We have a
definite reason, a specific purpose that com-
pels us to return again to school when, 11 we
choose, we could be free from the daily grind
of books and papers.
Why then are we here?
We have returned to find the missing
linkthe link that clearly spells out our ob-
jectives, whatever they may be. Suddenly, we
realize that the past months were spent in
pursuing some alien course, rather than the
one that we sat out to follow.
Now we realize that we must try even
harder than before if we are to remain here
and open a way to our objectives. For some
the'way will be easy and for those who are
not so sure, the way will be difficult at times,
but both roads lead to the same end.
Yes, summer with its lackadaisical way of
life has slowed us in some respects, but it has
also aroused us to a new or a rekindled ob-
jective, but beware lest the pace quicken in
the fall.
Change Aids Students
East Carolina's administration has
changed the daily hours of the student bank
so that it will not be open on Saturday morn-
ings. This is good. There is little or no life
on the campus during the summer months on
Saturday, and the teller should not have to
work on Saturday during the summer months.
But what about the hours during the
regular school year? An extra thirty minutes
durmg the lunch hour could make cashing a
oheck during this period a real convenience for
the students.
Could it be that thirty minutes could be
taken from the earlier morning hours and
moved to the noon hour to facilitate this con-
venience? By not opening the bank until
11:00, in lieu of 10:30 opening time, and re-
maining open until 12:30, is only one solu-
tion to the problem. Many students get out
of class at noon, and have to rush to get a
check cashed before the bank closes.
This, we feel, is just one more move the
administration could make to facilitate the
students needs. JBK

Pear Editor:
After reading the column written
by Mr. J. Alfred Willis in the June
22 issue of the ElAiST CAROLINIAN,
1 couldn't help but be concerned with
its contents.
I am- personally concerned with the
welfare of our student .government for
many reasons; one, of course, is the
fact that I hold a seat on the Stu-
dent Senate now in the summer as
well as during the regular term.
Anyone that asks the officers of
the Senate about their opinion of stu-
dent participation in the recent elec-
tion will find that we are extremely
dissappointed. Who is really fond of
the fact that even though he is elected,
cnly about 4 per cent of the student
enrollment elected him? We realize
that we are the representatives for
over 2)500 people and only 101 people
elected us. Even the filing for cand-
idacy was terrible. Only one person
filed for each (position except for the
Graduate Student Representative posi-
tions for rthich no one filed. I don't
know Why this lack of interest pre-
vailed, but I do know that it wasn't
because there aren't enough qualified
people available or (because there was
no publicity. In my opinion thedre are
only a few students who really care
enough about student government to
feen take the time to vote. Many
times these students are the ones who
are griping about no-representative
istudent government. They want to do
all the yelling but somehow conven-
iently find something to do when sug-
gestions are needed5 or work is to be
done.
As far as Mr. Willis' column, is
concerned, I think that he is trying
to write albout something that he
knows very little about. I may be
mistaken, but I donift think that he
has ever asked me or aauyone else in
the Senate if there is anything that
he can do to help student government
or even offered his opinion aibout any
phase of student government except
election (participation. I would also
especially like to point out that I
have checked the list of names of the
people that voted in the recent sum-
mer school elections and for some
reason I couldn't find Mr. Willis
name on rtjhat list. Is this "Practicing
what you preach ?"
I have in the (past worked on the
staff of our fine newspaper, so I do
know a few of the problems about
the workings of the paper. Perhaps
I can raise the question concerning
the representation of students on the
newspasper. The fact stands that there
are only ten or twelve students on the
staff of this summer's paper. Take
into consideration that these students
in effect represent less than one naif
of one per cent of the student enroll-
ment. But Who questions student re-
presentation there?
The meetings of the Student
Senate are open to each and every
student who wu Id ilike to attend them.
'For ithe henefit of anyone really
interested, we meet in the Board Room
of the Administrations Building every
Monday at 4:00. I am sure that we
can find a place to hold the meeting
if more students show ofc.)
Getting back to the lack of ki-
te rest in the election there is one
thing that I would like to say. If the
students of East Carolina College
(or any other college for that mat-
ter) donft even care enough about
student government to take a little
Time to find out the candidates and
issues of the election or don't even
take the time to vote, then they
.shouldn't gripe and' criticize because
some are dissatisfied with their
leaders.
Whether some of itihe charactera
around here realize it or not, about
CO per cent of the $15 activity fee be
pays each quarter goes to student
government. If they don't have enough
sense or enough interest to care where
the money goes or who leads them,
then somehow I wonder whether or
not they deserve "representative"
student government even though I
think they get it.
In closing I want to point out that
in student government are al-

Dear Editor:
In reference to the atmosphere of
lethargy which now exists on this
campus, perhaps there is nc better
example with which to egin than the
library.
Anyone who .has ever attenuated
to withdraw books from this sacred
building is certainly familiar with its
drawbacks, familiar withy the "vast
source of ready, reference materials"
available, and familiar with tihe
speedy service" therein.
A 'professor recently, of the Social
Studies Department, spent twenty
minutes waiting at the circulation
desk to check out a hook and finally
left in disgustwithout the book.
I once spent several hours looking
over the card catalogues in an attempt
to find books for a reference paper.
Armed finally with a compiled list I
proceeded to the desk to get them. Out
of an accumlated list of over ten
books I managed to- get three.
This is not the atmosphere and at-
titude which promotes a regard for
research and literatiire, two aspects
with which the learned mind must be
fully acquainted.
But where does the fault list
Certainly not with the girls who
work behind those walls. With the
attitude that prevails there among
higher ups one wonders why they even
bother to help anyone with a book.
An English professor suggested some
time ago that perhaps a complete re-
organization of the cataloguing sys-
tem might do the job. I believe that
more than that is necessary. How
about a complete new library admin-
istration? The old one seems to av
deteriorated to a point of nonexostence.
I iay the blame fully on the shoulders
of the adbrandstraitoTs, not on the en-
listed (personnel. A college is an or-
ganization and organization is the
measurement of dbfiUQr.
If the ability of the Horary ad-
ministration is an indication of how
ECO is travellin-were on the
downward trek.
G.
"Words are cheap so the saying goes.
But the above words are not cheap. What they
say, what they indicatehas caused a con-
stant turnover of professors here at East
Carolina College. (A total of 30 professors
will not be here next year, either due to "re-
tirement" (3), "leave of absence" (5), or
"better position" (22) ). As one lost in the
rendering of the rhyme and metre of Edgar
Allan Poe, we, the students, have anesthetized
the College of East Carolina.
No Place To Go
By LARRY BLIZZARD
As the first hot days of summer descend
upon us, we find oursekes once more back
at the or hunting groundsthe breezeless
classrooms of ECC. Funny how one seems to
see basically the same faces back here sum-
mer after summer. There must somehow be
a hardened core of us students who hold down
the fort during the summer months when
the main crowd is gone.
This summer school seems filled with the
usual thingsco-eds, sunburns, and hot class-
rooms. Some of the usual complaints concern-
ing manner of dress on campus have been
heard. Only this time, the complaints nave
been directed against some of. the faculty
membersunprofessional appearance, no coa
and tie, etc. It seems that these faculty mem-
bers prefer to be comfortable during the sum-
mer months and thus abstain from the coa
and tie routine. They should realize that tney
are behind the timesmere knowledge anQ
the ability to teach doesn't make the instruc-
torone must look the part of a teacher; au
if possible, a well paid one.
During summer school, one niisses
old familiar phenomenon, the Saturday niP
free movie, where you could take a r ?7r.
get by with only a dime for pepsi colas ste-
wards. Now, those attending summer scn?
who lack the energy to leave on weaken
find themseves shelling out dough for ente '
tainment (downtown movies, beer). Actuj
it's a shame that there aren't any more g
places where you could take a girl and &
and talk or listen to good music.
One more media of entertainment whic
has reaHy made itself felt is the C. U. wwj
speaker. The mechanical gadget can be nea
practically all over campus, nightly Warn
out rock n' roll. The only place one cannu
hear the thing is in the library deep 3

.ampus Canvas: Food Tan.
IK
11 the
This week the Campus Canvas pertains dkectly to education and the
ult, rf North Carolina' educational policy. The question Jb: "Considering
isSlUes. t is your opinion of the three per cent sales tax on food
jfcich will go Into effect in July 1?"
Eden R. Tharrington, principal, Youngsville High
School, Youngsville, N. C. I feel that the people realized
that money was needed for an educational system. Qual-
ity education for children is very valuable. The food tax
mitfht not be thhe best tax, but it is preferable to have
a food tax, rather than ignorance in our state.
ss
Forrest Smith, ECC Senior, WaLlace, N. C."I'm
favor of it it will give us better teachers and bet-
chool systems. North Carolina already turns out
Hue of the best teachers, so why not keep them here?"

Mrs. Boy Myers, Instructor, School of Business
"I think it will help to raise -the educational standards in
North Carolina. While taxes from other sources might
be more desirable from an ability to pay basis, the 3 per
cent sales tax on fod will equally benefit all citizens,
ami what more worthwhile use could be made of our tax
money than that of educating the children of! North Caro-
lina?"

REVIEW
By RICHARD BOYD
Major Leagues Deprive Colleges Of Athletes
What can be done about the scholastic and collegiate baseball stars
idling large bonus contracts and therefore depriving the .mentors through-
out the country of their recruited talent? An example of this nightmare
dkr the coach, but wealth for the player, has hit directly on our campus.
Not only did the signing of two star athletes in this college effect
baseball strength for next year's Buc nine, but the signature's of some of
the school's finest athletes also haunt Coach Eiaul Sini'th's basketball forces
for 1961-62. Cotton Clayton and Floyd Wicker will, without a doubt, be
missed by Ooaeh Smith's five. Clayton was the playmaker, top scorer, re-
bounder, and all-conference guard. Wicker, a freshman on last year's team,
had three years of eligibility remaining.
Of course, the procedure of players signing bonus contracts will con-
tinue to happen in the future. But there are several bad points that have
to be kept in mind. Literally robbing the coaches of their talent has al-
ready been explained. But what about the player's education? Is he being
fair to himself for signing a Major League contract, and forsaking his edu-
cation? How long will ia bonus of $10,000 last an athlete? This does not
seem to be as important as his college degree would be for future years.
There have been many young players dn their first or second year
of college who have signed for 75,000 or 100,000 dollar bonuses. Would any-
one turn this kind of money down? No one would in their right mind.
Could some method he worked out in which players could be discouraged
from signing a major league contract until they have djinished their edu-
cation?
It seems, that during these modern times of fighting communism,
education is the most important way to comibat the enemy. Yet, talented
athletes, who may also be intellectually inclined cannot afford to turn
down such an offer as the one made by the Major League recruiters. The
blame Uor this situation is certainly not the players, but instead, the big
league recruiting program.
It would appear that the Major Leagues are imiming a Minor League
farm system in our colleges and universities today. It is not wrong to help
a deserving boy through school and sign hinn after he receives his degree,
but to deprive him of his education by offering the individual a fat bonus
to drop school should be entirely abolished.
There are people who do not have the initative to finish their education,
or who might be financially equipped. On the other hand, there are young
athletes today who sign a contract and iplay for the summer, and return to
college for the winter. But in a great deal of the cases the players do not
bother to return.
It looks as if coaches in the f uture will he lucky to have an outstanding
baseball player around more than a year or two. If the athlete is a con-
siderable contribution to another sport it just makes matters worse. Possi-
bly something will be done about this situation in the future. But until
then, it appears that not the degiree he could have received, hut the Major
Leagues will control many a young man's future.
Bass Signs Pro

With San Diego
Joe Corne, 1961 State Table Tennis
champion will be here for the Union
Tournament next week.
One of EC's all time great backs,
Glenn Bass, has announced that he
lias signed with the San Diego
Ohargers of the lAlmerican Football
League. The 6l" 200 pound Senior
leaves EC after summer school for

Three Teams Tied
For Second Place
In Standings
Two hard hitting teams with speed
and power at the plate lead
the tight Intramural Softball League.
Nick Hilgert's fraternity nine and
Ron Shoupe's Independents are a step
ahead of the three teams in a dead-
lock for the second place spot.
Defending champion of 1960, the
Scoffer aggregation is tied with the
Has Beens and the Road Runners. The
Non-Freedom Riders and the Grand-
slammers round out the loop stand-
ings. The NFR team has played .500
ball with a 1-1 record, but the Grand-
slamniers have been having their
troubles with only a 1-5 mark.
The Outlaws had to stop a 3-run
rally by the Grandslammiers in their
opener before winning 4-3. The other
three Outlaw victims were the Hope-
fuls 6-3, the Scoffers 5-5, and the
Road Runners 8-4. Lambda Chi claims
wins over the Grandslammers 4-1 and
the Scoffers 8-3. The only loss by the
fraternity nine was a tight 10-9 de-
cision to Larry Thomas' Hopeful
squad. '
Brilliant pitching by southpaw
Porgy Turner with the additional help
of many old grads has been the prime
factor in the play of the second
place Has Beens. Among the three
recorded victors by the graduates has
been an 11-8 margin over the first
place Outlaws. One of the teams tied
for second with the Has Beens is
Brock Ridlge's rough Road Runners.
Johnny Phillips' Scoffer nine also
owns a very important victory over
the Road Runners. The Scoffers also
defeated the Has Beens in a slugfdst
by a 16-13 margin. It aippears to be
a 6-way battle down to the wire since
the NFR team, with a 1-1, has played
only two official games through Mon-
day, June 26.
Wednesday, June 28, and Thursday,
June 29 will be used for rained-out
games. The play-off between the
league's top three teams will be on
Monday, July 3 and July 4. These
will be seven-inning games for the
F.ast Carolina campus championship.
gain the national chanrupionship this
season with his fine play at his in-
field post.
It appears as though this is the
year for signing Pirate athletes. At
least six professional contracts have
been signed in two different sports
thus far. Besides Bass's signature
for the gridiron, graduate student
Jim Speight from Greenville is now
the property of the Baltimore Colts
in the National Professional Football
League.
Baseball stars Cotton Clayton,
Floyd Wicker, Jim Martin, and Wally
Cockrell (have signed contracts for
Major League teams. Star pitcher
Larry Crayton also signed this
aumimer. It looks as though 1960-61
was a hig year for the ECC athletes.
