Proposes Changes
In Pest Office
A new rytrem has been proposed
for changes in the camipus post of-
fice. According to J. Knott Proctor,
Greenville Postmaster, the new plan
is now under consideration but has
not, at present, been accepted by
either the college or 'be o ricP of the

D. C.
The new plan will do away with
the student self-help positions that
operate the local Post Office and will
create one full-time position.
fit was suggested by the colleg'

system be made. A post office in- I Reveries, with George Perry, organ
spector recommended that a full- jt
time person he employed.

definite will be known of the pro-
posed plan until April 10, when Wash-
ington officials send their decision.

We ? the East Carolinian staff would like
opportunity to welcome you, our high
. rs, to East Carolina.
We hope that you are finding your stay here
nd that you are able to feel free and
n our campus. We do not think that it
is in any way childish to say that we are proud
ur school and feel that for educational stand-
and hospitality it is among the top. It is our
i you will see fit to return to East Caro-
next fall to begin your college education.
Dining your stay here you have seen the
nt departments that comprise East Caro-
: a College. We hope that you have been favor-
y impressed. We who have been here for at
kast a year can fully appreciate the indecision
that may be in your minds with regard to select-
ing a school at which to further your education,
u have observed East Carolina. Now it is
thai your impressions have been favor-
. and we are looking forward to seeing many
of you again next fall.
An Opportunity Muffed
In view of advance publicity, the expense of
ram, and the enthusiasm of the faculty
wonder about the singular lack of success met
by the World Affairs Institute among students
last week. The student body showed an almost
disinterest in what one faculty member
; as "the opportunity of a life time" to
rnatl nally known speakers.
Unfortunate experiences in morning as-
"oh may have accounted for most student lack
in later programs. Combined circum-
nces of poor accoustics in Wright building, an
almost n.uifunctioning public address system,
hammering in the basement, foreign accents and
restless in the audience made it virtually
impossible for a large part of the assembly to
understand what was said. The situation was not
h Iped by the somewhat discourteous departure
I idents during the program.
Although morning assembly undoubtedly
kept many students away from afternoon and
evening program it cannot be denied that East
Car tud nts all too often may be character-
ized by enthusiasm for dances, baltgames, mins-
trels and m , a s at the expense of entertainment
ms ' ctures, studies and similar intellect-
ual pursuits.
In any case it would have been to the advant-
? East Carolina students no" to have permit-
the fnl nal Affairs Institute to turn into
a glorified meeting of the Faculty Lecture Club.
L. B. C.
A Certain Amount Of Courtesy
East Carolina students were very fortunate
last week by b nig afforded an opportunity to
listen to the world renowned speakers who ap-
peare here for the World Affairs Institute. We
believe the general opinion of the students is one
of appreciation to those who spent time and ef-
fort toward the presentation of the program.
As is usually the case, however, there were
those students who did not regard the program
as beneficial. We agree that each student should
have a right to make his own decision about at-
tendance at all student assemblies. But we de-
cidedly believe that any person who does attend
an assembly which consists of lectures owes to
other members Of the audience and certainly to
the speakers a certain amount of courtesy. The
assembly in Wright last week was admittedly
long, but all students were excused from classes
to attend it. It is, in our opinion, regrettable
that many of the students saw fit to leave before
it concluded. Even more regrettable is the fact
that they did not seem to realize that the noise
they created by leaving in the middle of the pro-
gram reflected the character of our entire student
body as well as disturbing the speakers.?FO'N
Next Friday will be the 12th An-
nual High School Day at East Caro-
lina. And for the past 11 of these
affairs k hasn't rained. That's quite
remarkable for Greenville, but you
can never tell. The 12th event may
break a record.
These high school seniors will prob-
ably get a good picture of our campus
and its activities during a crammed
program for the day. However, the
seniors will got the real, "inside
story" of East Carolina from its
students.
Talking with students here, the
prospective collegiates can learn
more about the activities and what
the college offers scholastically.

For
Thought
by Don King, Ed Mathews
"Buzz" Young
We are happy to announce that
since this article has been sent to
lie printer we have been notified
that the faculty has consented to re-
consider the matter. We feel that
this is typical af the cooperation on
our caii.pus.
Sometime before Christmas holi-
days of this year three boys, Wade
Cooper. Bob Neilson and Donald King,
presented to the Student Legislature
a plan to change our final exam sche-
dule.
Principally, the plan had two aims:
(1) to lighten the load on the students
during exam time; (2) to lighten the
load oo the teachers during and im-
ini .lately aifiter exams. This was to
be done by spreading the exams over
two days instead of one day. The
first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth
clasg period exams would be taken
on the next to last day of the quarter.
Tht. s vor.d, fourth, sixth and eighth
class period e:ims would be taken
on the last day of the quarter. All
classes that did not meet on the last

The Student Legislature approved
this plan by a large majority and the
three student who presented it wore
named as a committee to see Dean
Jenkins about getting faculty ap-
proval for the plan. Dean Jenkins
airl that he thought that it was a
?rood plan and would be accepted. It
was introduced at a faculty meeting
and a faculty committee, headed by
Miss Williams of the Math Depart-
ment, was appointed to consider the
plan.
March 22 the plan was to be pre-
sented to a faculty meeting for ap-
proval or rejection. The members
of the student committee were in-
vited to attend. Bob Neilson and
"Buzz" Young, who went for Wade
Cooper and Donald King, were there.
Miss Williams presented the
committee report to the faculty.
This plan, as the faculty accepted it,
was presented completely on the front
page of last week's "East Carolinian
In brief it is that over a three day
period two hour exams will be taken
one, two, and three hour courses.
fter much discussion from members
of the faculty and from the three
students present, who poiiited out
that the plan would not lighten the
load on the students or faculty, the
plan was approved by a vote of 45-27.
It was pointed out at the meeting
that the plan was not necessarily
permameufc, but it can only be changed
by the same faculty that passed it.
?'f, after being tried out, the plan
does not seem to work another plan

faculty next year.
At the Student Legislature meeting
the following Wednesday the student
comimittee reported on the matter.
After a long, warm debate the Leg-
islature passed a resolution which
said that it would cooperate with the
faculty fully in its new exam schedule.
The resolution, however did not say
that the Legislature approved of the
new exam schedule, nor did it say
tihat the Legislature was satisfied.
It said that the Legislature hoped that
the faculty would reconsider the orig-
inal plan of the students.
The faculty was certainly in its
rights when it changed the exam

Man Behind The Cokes
Charlie, Jack Of AH Jrades
by Anne George
Charlie Harrell, junior from Middle-
sex, can literally be called the "Man
behind the cokes
Thk is Charlie's second year of
managing the Soda Shop under the
supervision of Lloyd Bray, supply
stores manager. His duties there are
vari d in many respects from ex-
tir.quising the many fires that de-
velop in the trash cans to repairing
the gadgets around the counter. All
the purchasing of supplies and food
for the "Y" store is handled by Char-
lie ("The Jack of All Trades"). Book-
keeping is another phase of his work
that k ape him on his toes.
He really got to know Mr. Bray
when he lived in Wilson Hall. One
night someone made a mes6 in the
hall, and so Charlie commenced to
dean it up. Mr. Bray noticed him;
therefore, when this job at the Soda
Shop became available he sought
Charlie to fill the post. As Charlie
fcaogftingty recalls, "I didn't even
know how to make a coke my first
day
Around the campus he is also well-
known for his interest in FBLA, In-
terreligious Council and YDC. Also
he is- an active member of the Jun-
ior Cla?s, serves on the Men's Judic-
ary and is vice president of Freewill
Baptist Fellowship. Socially speaking
he belongs to the Alpha .Phi Omega
fraternity.
Upon asking about a memorable
ncident in his life, he began to re-
late the time when he was driving
from Wilson and turned the corner
in front of Austin and almost hit

Charlie added.
Oharlie enjoys swimming, the b ach,
girls in sweaters, and he has even
required a slight liking to chocolate
in his pensies.
His future plans include teac ing
for a few years, then perhaps if all
goes well Charlie hopes to get a
managerial position with some firm.

Letters To The Editors
TENNIS COURTS
To the Editor:
I noticed in different places n the
"Kas.t Carolinian" discus'o-i conceiti-
ng the lack oi tennis cou-ts and
intramural fields; therefore, I thought
it would be well to let you know that
we have included in every budget
submitted to the Budget Commision
and General Assembly, each biennium,
a goodly sum -for tennis courts and
intramural athletic fields. So far,
the requests have not been granted,
despite our insistence every time.
The request will be renewed in the
next budget, ! ut what is done depends
entirely upon the budget Commission
and the General Assembly.
The tennis courts that have been
paved so far have been paid for by
aviniKs in other areas.
I thought it would be well to let
you know that we recognize this
need and are doing what we can.

TRAFFIC SITUATION
To The Editor:
As Prasident of the Student Govern-
ment Association I feel it is my pr-
sonal responsibility to bring to light
facts that were not mentioned in an
editorial la&t week entitled, "First
Traffic Fatality: You? by Bob
Hilldirap.
Mention was made concerning the
traffic problem in and around East
Carolina of which everyone is aware.
With the increase in students and
cars, there is destined to be a problem
ut it is one of a complex nature re-
quiring time and much study. In the
editorial, two recommendations were
offered?to "post the proper speed
Jimit and enforce it" and "erect 'stop'
or 'right-of-way' signs Itf these
minor things are done, the author
itates, "the cawpu6 problem will be

We all realize the complexity of

in the marv oter achievements in

WHO'S WHO
To the Editor:
I am writing in reference to the
"East Carolinian" otf two weeks ago.
Pot Pourri hit the nail on the head
when the column brought up the
question of the honor attached to
the present position of our college
marshals. I don't know whether there
would be enough girls interested to
be marshals if the qualifications were
higher and the persons checked more
thoroughly, but it would be worth
looking into. Nevertheless it is good
to bring these questions out for a
good airing.
I am also interested in the election
of students to "Who's Who in Amer-
ican Colleges and Universities How
are the students nominated, elected
and by whom? On what basis are
these pupils chosen?
Thank you.

Forum And Atrainst'em
Talk About Exams
by Faye O'Neal
Probably the hottest discussions on this c.
pus this yvV have been taking place sin
?ele&se of the new program for final exan
ti.ns.
The history of this recent action
c nsidered as valuable information in rea ;
an opinion on the matt r. At the March 24 m
Ing of the Student Government Associal
was revealed that the students themselves mi
be regarded as the unwitting and unwill
urc of instigation for the move.
Last fall the SGA sent a letter to the admin-
ation requesting consideration of a chai
he ex im schedule to lighten the students'
Alien preparing for the final tests. Under
dd set-up many students had all their exams on
the same day, sometimes straight through
four or more hours. The Student Legislature
appointed a student committee which drew up a
plan to present to the administration pn -
posing to spread out the exams over the last I
1 vs of the quarter with the first, third, fifth,
seventh and ninth periods meeting on the
day, leaving an hour between each class for a
refresher review.
Other classes would meet on the final day,
unless the last meeting of the class regularly
n the third day before the quarter's end: in such
?ase. the exam would be taken on that day. The
administration and faculty were gracious enough
to look into the proposal and the developn
which followed resulted in the program wh
was released about two weeks ago?the two-li
exam schedule.
Emily S. Boyce, our versatile assistant edi-
tor, has watched with interest the unfolding of
the new plan. Her comments follow: "Until we
try the new exam schedule, it is difficult to ex-
press an opinion; we cannot say now whether it
will work or not. we do not know now if it will
truly benefit both students and faculty. However,
keeping in mind that the plan is only temporary.
I believe it is a good thing. The Administration
is giving the students a different plan, hoping
they will like it better than the old one. If we
don't like it and will speak out, no doubt the
schedule will be changed and something else
tried.
Dave Pennington thinks the student's work
will be doubled by the new plan. Agreeing with
Pennington is Jean Culhfer who thinks the plan
is "terrible She says that students had enough
to worry about with hour exams under the quar-
ter system. "If we ran on the semester system,
the plan for two hour exams might work better
Jean says.
Faculty opinion on the matter is interesting
and, we feel, necessary to give a complete picture
of the situation. Dr. G. W. Knipp of the English
department, who is well known for his long essay
exams on literature, believes that the new ar-
rangement is good for more advanced courses.
Nell Stallings, a member of the faculty of
the Health and Physical Education department,
tells us that she went to school under a set-up
which provided for the final week of each semes-
ter to be designated as exam week, meaning that
the whole week was taken for exams. They took
exams by subject; for example, all English 220
classes met at the same period. About the new
system here, she says, "The idea is good but I
cannot say whether the schedule is satisfactory

A doubleheader at High Point this
afternoon officially opened the con-
ference bast ball season for East Car-
olina College's Pirates.
Tomorrow the Pirates move over
to (iuilford for a single session with
the Quakers. Little is known of the
Guilford ; all club but if last year's
series is any indication then he
irontesit should be a close one.
Of the four games played between
the two clubs, East Carolina took the
first and Int. 6-5 and 14-2, while
tihe Quakers were capturing the mid-
dle two, 7-1 and 7-3.
Christians Here
A week from today, however, two
rrruetal games which well may have
b firing on the final Eastern Division
ind'ings will be played between the
Pirate- and Elon, las. year's champs,
on the local diamond. The Christians
are rated as the club to beat again
this year and the Pirates must gain
at least a split to keep themselves
in the running.
The following Thursday, April 15,
i long standing feud will be resumed
when East Carolina travels to Wilson
to face Atlantic Christian. To the
winner of this contest, as to the
winner of each athletic event between
the two schools, will go the Bohunk
Trophy, a battered water bucket which
i elongs to the team which last re-
? n led a win in any athletic contest
be:ween the two schools.
The Bohunk currently is resting
with the Bucs by virtue of three
cage wins during the recent basket-
ball season.
Three-Run Rally
Gives Bucs Win
A three-run rally in the bottom
of the ninbh gave East Carolina Col-
lege a 7-6 win over Montclair State
Teachers of New Jersey here Tues-
day. The win was the Bucs' first in
three starts this year.
East Carolina entered the last half
o the final frame trailing 6-4. Right-
fielder David Nance reached first on
the shortstop's error and eventually
-cored the first run as pitcher Jim
Murray walked three consecutive men.
Bo!i Oehner then relieved Murray
and pinch hitter Charlie Cherry
creec.hed a double down the left field
line to drive in the tying and win-
ning runs.
The Pirates took the lead in the
second inning when Murray, who
suffered from wildness all day, forced
in W. C. Sanderson with the first
inn. Montclair rattled Clyde Owens,
the Pirate sitarter, for six runs in
the fourth to bring on southpaw
Barnes. Jim Byrd took over in the
seventh to gain credit for the win.
Two runs in the bottom of the
? ourtih cut the margin to 6-3 and the
Pirates added another in the fifth
to set the stage for their late inning
rally.

On paper, the Pirates are the fav-
orite for championship honors in the
Eastern Division of the conference's
sipLit baseball race. But to accumulate
a won-lost record that will withstand
the weathering a true champion must
bare they have to gain coordination
in two major departments.
First, the all important defense,
speaking particularly of pitching, has
to find some method by which to re-
main effectively consistent. No one
can deny Coach Earl Smith's Pirates
aren't tight around the sacks. As
a matter of fact, East Carolina could
iekl two formidable infield combi-
nations from the wealth of material
tu hand. Coach Smith has a web of
protection with starters W. C. Sander-
son, Cecil Heath, Paul Jones, and
Gaither Cline rounding the horn.
The array of infield talent con-
stitutes the debatable problem of
whom to start. Baseball loses most o"
its spectative interest when numer-
ous substitutions are made. The Pi-
ratep have rookies Ray Pe-nnington
and Gary Mattock, two outstanding
shortstops who can play first string
with any in the league. Wilbur Thom-
pson is another capable short fielder
necessary for a winning all club.
?Coach Smith brought Vernon Baker
with him from Campbell. The big
first baseman is a glove smoothie
and hits as well as most college first
rockers. Charlie Cherry is a talent d
third baseman with uncommon field-
ing ability. He possesses exceptional
speed and general baseball know-how.
Lf his hitting improves he will cause
a lot of controversy around the hot
corner.
T e Bucs' outer garden siprouts with
good prospects to team with veterans
Boyd Web Major Hooper and Paul
Gay. Hooper is a baseball natural?
a player who seldom fails to do right
things at the right time. Gay is fully
recovered from an injury sustained in
football and is playing his usual keen
type of ball. The thunder from his
bat will play a big part :n the Bucs'
diamond fortunes this spring. Bob
Penley and David Nance are the
brightest of the newcomers and are
?pushing the vets for playing time.
Both are seasoned performers for
rookies and Nance, especially, has
hit the ball sharply in the Pirates'
first games.
Possibly bet of all is the catching

Golf Team Preps
For First Match
In Title Defense
by J. W. Browning
The Prate golf squad has been
working out daily in preparation for
their first contest. A schedule for
the North State Conference cham-
pions has not yet been announced,
but the first match is expected to
immediately follow the spring holi-
days.
The local linksiters have done very
well in producing championship teams
five out of the six years that they
have participati d in the loop. Elon
won the title in 19S2. This was the
only year tiiat East Carolina has not
been champs since their entrance
into the conference in 1948.
Three well-experienced veterans will
i e back again this year to aid East
Carolina's classy golfers in their at-
tempt for another successful defense
of the crown. Thee powerful drivers
are Claude King, Dave Martin and
Harry Rainey. They will he aided
tremendously by the up-and-coming
crew of Jim Harris, Pat Hunt and
Fred Sexton.
Track
M anwhile East Carolina's first
track team is still working out on
the college athletic field in high
hopes of having a successful initial
eason. The t am will be coached by
Leon "Shot" Ellis, formerly a stand-
out, in athletics at East Carolina.
R tners make up most of the par-
ticlpants that are trying out. At the
present there are many problems to
be work d out. but if enough interest
is hown for a track team at the
college, a solution to these problems
is expected. The schedule has not yet
i en completed, but it will be an-
nced as soon as possible.

the decisive blow. Two more markers
in the third plus another in the eighth
gave the Deacs theii winning margin.
Paul Gay, East Carolina's second
batter in the opening frame, lashed
out a single for the Bucs only solid
hit of the day. The other bingle came
in the eighth when shortstop Wilbur
Thompson reached first safely as the
result of a bunt.
Assistant Coach Earl Smith sent
four hurlers to the mound in an effort
to avenge an earlier 6-4 setback. Gene
Taylor, Smith's opening choice, was
charged with the loss.

rhunkers whos be?t run hot and cold
co-vront? Coaches Smith and Boone
arjd affords them the task of improv-
na nt. Jim Byrd is one of the big
question marks. Tf the Kinston right-
hander fails to win consistently, the
Bucs' late may not be so bright. He
is still having arm trouble which
first egan to plague hLm last spring.
Righhand'er Jim Piner is a good
thrower when he's right. When he's
rat, well, the difficulty may be
from ov rwork, as was the case last
year.
Ken Hall started the Bucs' opener
and attempted to blow the ball past
the Deacons, only to find the best
wsiv to pitch Wake Forest, or any
other team for that matter, is to mix
the pitches up. Half-speed stuff can
do a lot of damage to a fence-bunting
crew. Two other veterans, Clyde
Owens and J. C. Thomas, can give the
Pirates juipport in the pitching side of
the ledger if they come around. Also
Gene Taylor, a fastballing righhander,
could be very effective if he can ob-
tain control.
Among the freshman who still are
wet behind the ears but could dry
that up by one good pitching effort
ar Dave Harris, Jimimy Bames, and
Mack Cherry. All are hopefuls. Also
Ten Johnson and Don Curtis are
nong the moundstmen Coach Smith
" oes will make the grade.
The Pirates finished second in the
NS chas- in 1953. They have a good
chance of "cettering that mark this
-eason.
Court Squad Set
For First Match
The East Carolina tennis team has
be n practicing at a steady pace for
the past week in preparations for their
first match, which will be after this
weekend's spring holidays. The match
will pro-ably be at Wake Forest
although an official schedule has not
yet been announced. A ladder has been
et up by Coach Porter and the first
six men are seeded as follows:
No. 1 ? Paul Cameron
No. 2 ? Bob Williams
No. 3 ? Craig Kester
No. 4 ? Frazitr Bruton
No. 5 ? J. W. Browning
No. 6 ? Dallas Foscue
Thi; seeding; is only tentative how-
ever, -ince challenge matches between
the players could change the secdings.
Any member of the squad may chal-
cr.ve a man a high as two slots
ahead of him. Also, any man not on
the team may challenge the number
5 or fi man "or a positon on the squad.
K the challenger wins his challenge
match, he and the man he defeated
xchange positions. This requires each
player on the squad to hustle in
ordeder to keep his position and it also
assures the maintenance of the best
possible mm on the squad at all times.
Other expecting to break into the
first six are: Gene Russell, Lewis
Barnes, Jack Pickett and A. W. Cau-
dill.

out.
The delegation from Bast Carolina

BSU council, which represents the
TOO Baptist students here, sent a
letter expressing unanimous support
of the grouf) labeled "liberals" be-
cause of their supposed promotion of
inrt ruenominational and interracial
fellowship.
The chief issue discussed at the

in the state and two other student
workers. Mi3s Blanton was in at-

under question as a member of the

questioned. The decision made by the
board railed for resignations from the
