Pat Everton Represents East
Carolina At Azalea Festival
Amid the beauty and splendor of
th Azalea Festival, which begins in
Wilmington April 6, will shine
E.C.Cs lovely Patricia Everton. Pat,
chosen by the S.G.A. to represent
East Carolina, will be joined by other
beauties throughout the state repre-
senting their r.ective colleges.

Primary Educatici major from Co-
lumbia, N. C Tha fair-haired Miss

East Carolina rnd her activities
prove that si e la is versatile as she
is pretty. Inelud 1 in her extracur-
ricular work are the College Choir;
the A.C.E of which she will act a-s
president for the coming year; and
the S.G.A in which she will be next
year's historian. She is also a mem-
ber of Fleming Hall's House Commit-
to- and SGA representative for the
Junior Class.
Pat is sure to represent East Caro-
lina in the best way possible since
she has had quite a bit of experience
in this type of event. In 1954 she
was Miss Tyrrell County in the Albe-

A Worthwhile Project
Quoting from the Rocky Mount High School
newspaper: "Honor! What is honor? Honor is
self-respect. It is not tangible, but is found in the
heart. It is an individual trait. Honor is brought
out by the actions, character, and beliefs of a
person.
"For a person to be honest, he must refrain
from all forms of lying, cheating, or stealing.
Everyone has a different idea of honesty, but
these should be a part of all honor ideas.
"Maybe you say 'Why shouldn't I cheat
when I can get away with it?' Remember, there
is a Supreme Being that lives on high who knows
and sees everything. He sees you. Also you and
your conscience know it, and you have to live
with yourself. To be honest remember these
words To thy own self be true and you cannot
be false to any man "
It has long been the opinion of many stu-
dents that East Carolina should have some type
of honor system in order to combat some of the
cheating that occurs. Cheating is a large problem,
particularly during the examination periods. It
occurs frequently throughout the entire year,
however.
It has become such a problem that the Stu-
dent Government Association has appointed "a
committee to study the possibilities of some type
of honor system. A questionnaire was drawn up
and submitted to the student body to be filled out
and returned. However, this does not mean that
an honor system has been developed.
If anything is done about the cheating situa-
tion, it will take the cooperation of a majority of
students. It cannot be done by a few. Students
should begin thinking seriously about the cheat-
ing problem.
In regard to the Honor System, President
Messick, when interviewed on the subject, stated:
"I would be very happy if we had the Honor Sys-
tem here. When the students are ready to accept
the responsibilities of assuming this task that is
of such great proportions, I would be very happy
to recommend its adoption. However, I would not
be in favor of endorsing the idea until there was
complete acceptance of the responsibilities as well
as the privileges on the part of the student body
Honor, like everything else, must have roots
to grow. It must be taught, first by the family,
then the church, and finally the school. So it is
that today many schools and colleges are wrest-
ling with the problems of honor systems, honor
codes, and honor councils. Theories have beer
formulated, but it is up to the students them-
selves to carry them into operation. It is up to
the student whether his honor system is a work-
able institution. Those places where this system
has met with unquestionable success have found
it made possible because of one situation. The
old school stigma of a 'tattle tale' was lifted. It
is considered a student's duty to report violations
of the Honor Cede. If he doesn't do so, he him-
self is breaking a provision of the code.
We believe that an Honor System is possible
at East Carolina College. However, first and
foremost, the student body must be behind it. It
is a worthwhile project toward which to work.
There is much to gain for all of us, but each of
us, as an individual, must believe in it sincerely,
and wholeheartedly.
Newspaper Work Is No Picnic
Getting out a newspaper is no picnic. If we
print jokes, people say we're silly. If we don't,
they say we're too serious. If we stick to the of-
fice all day they think we ought to be out hunting
material. If we do go out and try to hustle, we
ought to be on the job at the office. If we don't
print contributions, we don't appreciate genius;
if we do print them, the paper is full of junk.
If we edit the other fellow's write-up, we're
too critical. If we don't, we're asleep. If we clip
from other papers, we're t6o lazy to write our-
selves. If we don't, we're stuck on our own stuff
Now, like as not, some guy will say we
swiped this from some newspaper. We did.
The East Carolinian got it from the Teco Echo
who got it from the Wake Forest Old Gold and
Black who got it from the University of Miami
Hurricane who borrowed it from the University
of Huston who obtained it from the Daily Texan
who swiped it from Texas A&M who read it in
someone else's paper.

ACCCRiDjNC TO MR. ALCOCK:
mctaubtedly the student body has
a:vied by this time that Mr. Alan
Vlcock, a candidate in the recent
.A presidential race against Dock
Smith, feels that t'o East Carolinian
is not in the hands of the students
bat the administration. His erroneous
iccusation has led others to question
! e freedom of this newspaper.
Aimoog all the points listed in Mr.
Alcock's platform (and there were
some dillies) that statement is cer-
tainly the most ludicrous. This news-
paper is in the students' hands and
the students' hands only. No one
attempts to censor our material. If
Mi. Alcock can prove otherwise, the
pages of this publication are open
"or any facts which he might present
to support such an accusation.
HOW HE WAS EVER motivated
to draw such a farcical conclusion is
still a question which members of this
staff would like to have answered.
He thoughtlessly attacked an organi-
zation of which he is completely ig-
norant or has been terribly misin-
formed by some party.
Also, he questioned the literary
style of the paper at last Wednesday
right's meeting of the student leg-
is; ture. Mr. Alcock felt that it could
I elevated No one would question,
lm sure, the extent to which any
style of writing can be elevated. But,
a great majority of the writing found
in newspapers?especially straight
news articles?consists of a certain
distinct style. Whether you are read-
ing from the New York Times, The
Daily Reflector, or the East Caro-
linian, the news stories will usually
include who, what, when, where,
why, and how in a? concise a manner

Amjng the many outstanding stu-
! dent at East Cai-olina is Justus
McKeel, a .senior from Bethel. His
' major is Business Education and his
Jimmy Ferrell minor is Social Studies.
Several years ago when Justus vis-
ited East Carolina College on High
j School Day he was greatly impressed
by the friendly atmosphere of the
campus. He also found out that East
Carolina had a good business depart-
ment; and, knowing this important
fact, he immediately made the deci-
sion to make East Carolina his alma
mater.
Four years here have substanti-
ated his first inn. ression of the cam-
pus. "If anything, il've grown fonder
of the place Justus explains.
Works With Buc
Justus has been an active student
during all of his college years, par-
ticipating in many extra-curricula
activities. As a sophomore he was
ROTC editor of The Buccaneer and
as a junior he was activities editor.
He went to the press convention in
New York as a delegate of the
annual staff.
Being historian for Phi Sigma Pi
and a member of the "Y" cabinet
are a few of the many things that
occu.y Justus' spare time. He has
beer a member of the "Y" since he
was a freshman. He is a member of
the Future Business Leaders of
Amtriea, and was reporter last year.
The budget committee meetings of
S-GA also require much
ana attention.

Last year Justus was elected presi-
dent of Pi Omega Pi, the national
honorary business education frater-
nity. He was a delegate to the na-
tional convention of Pi Omega Pi
held in Chicago in December, 1954.
As president, he has greatly enjoyed
working with this fraternity. He com-
mented that this office has helped
him to become better acquainted
with the members of the business
department and the leaders of the
business world. It has also helped
him to realize the importance and
the nationwide recognition of the lina.

for "Who's Who in American College?

quite surprised and very happy when
he found out about this honor.
Comments On Frata
When asked for his opinion re-
garding social fraternities at East
Carolina, Justus replied, "I'm not
opposed to them, but would oppose
them if they tended to destroy the
haimony and friendliness at East
Carolina
Justus likes East Carolina because,
even though it is a fairly large
school, a person still has a chance
to know a great many people. He
likes the closeness and unity of the
students and faculty, and believes
nothing should be done to destroy
this atmosphere. ,
Favors Honor System
"I believe East Carolina needs an
honor system, but, more than just
a system, we need one we're willing
to make work stated Justus when
asked what he thought about having
an honor system at East Carolina,
Justus lists tennis, swimming, and
water skiing as the sports he likes
best to participate in. Dancing ranks

After graduation, Justus plans to

probably with the GPA. He expects

Controversial Currents
On Education In North Carolina
A student enrolled in ar class on
s cendary education of which I am
also a member, discussed the quality
o! the East Carolinian with the in-
? trr.ctor during class recently. He
seemed to feel that it wasn't up to
par.
Whether he expected it or not, I
mr.de no comments. Just a short time
oilier, this same boy admitted to the
n-tractor and class that the use of
eommas with dependent and inde-
pendent clauses still confused him.
If you are interested in the pro-
gressive movement of education in
North Carolina, now is the time to
show it. Before the Rules Commit-
tee is the famous Kelly Bill?HR
7535 which calls for federal assist-
ance to the states and local commun-
ities in financing an expanded program
of school construction so as to elim-
inate the national shortage of class-
roons. This bill was introduced by
Repp's ntative Augustine B. Kelly,
Democrat of Pennsylvania.
What will HK 7535 do?
The Kelly bill provides three ave-
nues by which federal assistance can
be extended for construction of school
buil iir.gs:
(1) The bill authorizes grants-
in-aid totalling $1.6 billion at the rate
of $400 million per year for four
years.
(2) The bill authorizes creation

MR. ALCOCK'S comments stirred
th emotions of certain students to
uch an extent that a petition was
drawn and circulated, asking that
the students be permitted to elect
eir own editors. The East Carolin-
an has received reports that two
iudents backed the movement.
N'tw pledges of a campus frater-
nity were asked to help with the
circulation of the petition. One of the
petitioners was overheard comment-
ing that the petition favored the
?ection of the editors by student vote
so that a final selection wouldn't be
left to the discretion of one man. It
is unfortunate that such a 'false ru-
mor was spread among the students.

taking into consideration (a) the
financial resources of local school
districts, and (b) efforts to provide
the need as indicated by overcrowding
or use of obsolete facilities.
To point out the critical need of
classrooms needed throughout llie
nation the United States Office of
Education estimated at the begin-
ning of 1954 there was a classroom
deficit of more than 300,000 and
tVat if no additional rooms were
built, this deficit would increase at
the rate of 50,009 classrooms annually
because of increased enrollmnts
and 8,000 classrooms a year because
of obsolescence. However, they est-
imated that 50,000 classrooms were
built in 1952-53, 55,000 in 1953-54,
and during the year of 1955, 60,000
were built. As a result of this def-
icit, million. of childrn are attend-
ing schools which are unsafe or
which permit learning on part time
or under condition of serious over-
crowding.
Who opposes federal aid?
The real stumbling blocks to any
school aid bill come from two tot-
ally different sources that have little
if anything in common: (1) the peo-
ple who insist on an anti-segregation
amendment as a prerequisite to Fed-
eral help for the public schools, as is
seen by the Powell amendment
and (2) the people who are opposed
to all Federal help for public schools,
basing their opposition on states'
rights or similarly restrictive grounds.
Some of these people think that if
the federal government helps with
the education of youth that it is a
form of socialism.
-Tf this is true, what do they call
"parity" to the farmer, the buying
of silver under the Sherman Act, and
subsidizing business? Surely educat-
ion of youth is as important as these.
Did not the government step into
the educational field during the de-
pression years? If you should look
around on this campus you would
probably find a building with the
P.W.A. stamp on it. Will it take
ar other depression to get the appro-
val of this group of people to consent
to federal aid for our school?
Let's hope not
How you can help
Now you ask, how can I help with
such an important bill as this? The
answer is simple, by writing to your
Congressman emphasizing these
points,
1. The need for schools in your
locality or the Congressman's district.
2. The need to get the Kelly bill
to the floor so Congress can pass the
kind of school construction bill it
wants.
President Eisenhower has expressed
concern over the school construction
bill uncomplicated by amendments
that will serve only to block any hope
of action, Members of Congress ought

Some of the proposed changes that have been
discussed, however, hardly necessitate a change
in the present system.

Dear Folks,
It was w t, cold, and raining when
we finally left Tuesday, March 13,
on that long- awaked journey for New
York, tha Wcuier City, to attend the
"olembia Scholastic Press Conven-
tion.
"Cheery?Please"
Well, folks, it rained all of the
way, but we were so determined to
get there that we didn't let that stop
us! Just en this side of Baltimore,
we decide to stop at a "drive-in"
restaur: s t for a snack. When we all
gave the waitress our orders, I or-
dered c coke and some Nabs. The
waitress locked at us a little strange-
ly and id, "What?" Again, I and
everyone else proceeded to tell her
what I wanted. By this time she was
fing a little frustrated and said,
"I'm sorry, but we on't have any
However, someone at the counter
stejpped in and explained to her ex-
actly what I wanted. She came back
saying, "Why didn't you say that
you wanted some cheese-crackers
Wednesday morning about 8:00 we
were "flying" through Lincoln Tun-
nel and entering New York City.
After leaving the tunnel, we passed
the spectacular UN Building, located
on the East River.
"Anybody Seen Picadilly?"
A few minutes later, we entered
the main part of New York City. As
we were driving down the congested
to Btay. Alfter registering at the
hotel, we went to our rooms and
almost immediately were visited by
the Buccaneer delegates (Jo Ann De-
Bruhl, Shirley Morton Smith, Ike
Williamson, Dwight Smith), who had
been in New York since Sunday!
We all agreed to get a little sleep
before "exploring" Broadway and
Times Square.
At noon, Martha and I ventured
to the Picadilly Lounge for a bite to
eat. We ordered waffles and coffee?
everyone turned to star when they
heard us talk. (?IncidentaUy, our com-
munications with the waitress were
rather short?she was Swedish!)
In the afternoon, it was still rain-
ing, but we sda"hed through the
downpour?and were lucky. We se-
cured tickets to the Broadway play
?A Hatful of Rain starring Shelley
Winters, for that night at the Ly-
ceum Theater!
"Look Out, Little Man"
While we were strolling down
Broadway gazing into the shop win-
dows, a little dried-up man suddenly
ran head-long into Oliver. As Oliver
stood dumbfounded, the man shook
his fist and shouted, "I'm going to
rap you in the face if you don't get
out of my way Mumbling and
cursing to himself, the little man
plunged into the crowd and disap-
peared; the rest of us stood by gap-
streets, we "just happened to see ing.

wanderings, frequently we were ask-
ed by the salespeople in the stores
if we were "just kidding around or
were really going to buy something
When we went to Macy's, that fabu-
lous store where one can buy any
thing from a lowly can of soup to
the most exquisite furs, we had a
"field day"?roaming around, getting
lost, and finding just scores of things
that we wanted to buy.
For supper that night we decided
it would be fun to try the Automat.
W at a surprise! In the tremendous
rush people seemed to be pushing
and trampling each other all over the
place. Several arms were shoved across
our food in the commotion. Although
we survived, we concluded thig "for-
eign" territory was a far cry from
odr hospitable South.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences has finally committed the most atrocious
blunder in all its history of award-giving1. Their
blunder of blunders was awarding Ernest Borg-
nine an "Oscar" for best actor of the year. This
seemed to me to be nothing less than ignorance
personified. And the horror of it all was that
the greatest master of dramotic art in our gen-
eration was completely overlooked . . . forgotten.
James Dean did not even receive a special award.
As was stated in this column previously. Dean
was thought to be a sure winner as best actor of
the year?the first actor ever to win an "Oscar"
posthumously. As he didn't, many thought that
the Academy would, as an alternative, give him
a special award carrying with it individual:
connotations. Such was not the case. Obviously.
Hollywood has forgotten James Dean . . . even
his memory!
The Academy is composed of approximately
1200 members. All members are workers in the
movie colony?actors, prop men, costuming per-
sonnel, etc. When voting time comes, one can
readily see that it would approach the category
of a political election?nominees pumping hands

Professor of Air Science.
Highlighting this program will be
a military review given by the Cadet
Corps -n honor of the visiting stu-
knts. Visitors will be given an op-
portunity to visit the ROTC unit and
talk with the instructors about the
ROTC prog am at East Carolina.
The two main purposes of the
AFROTC are to provide the student
with an opportunity to train as an
air age citizen of tomorrow and to
?tlect young men for a career in
the Reserve of the USAF.
For those students enrolled in the
Air Force Reserve Officers Training
Coirs, courses are offered for which
college credit is given. Subjects stud-
ied are: Introduction to Aviation, a
brief history; Fundamentals of Glob-
al Geography; Air Power, the story
oi resources, aviation industry, com-
mercial and private aviation, and
military aviation; and Loa!deihrp
Laboratory, in which throughout all
Conr years of AFROTC the students
ar? given an opportunity to learn
row to command groups of men.
Uniforms aiv- issued at no cost or
deposit and all Air Science textbooks
are issue free. The student is eligi-
ble to be deferred from the draft
during his college career.

members of a social fraternity, they
took us in as one of their own, and
treated us with the utmost hospitality.
This is in accordance wih fraternity
policy. As to "Wild Living"?if fra-
ternities are so objectionable, why are
they allowed at other schools? Wake
Forest and Davidson have fraterni-
ties. They are church supported
schools. If the churches sanction them,
k follows that they cannot be ob-
jectionable on moral grounds. State
and Carolina have fraternities; they
are state supported schools, so fra-
ternities cannot be objectionable be-
cause this is a state school.
We hope that what we have lacked
in eloquence we make up for in sm-
enrity We are seniors and anything
that "comes of this will not benefit us
in any way. except when we return
in future years and see a bigger and
better college. We have great respect
for the administration and the joo
that they are doing, but we cannot
understand why they w.ll not give
definete reasons for not allowing
fraternities. Almost all nomlly
known schools have social fraterni-
ties-WHYCANT WE?

Buc Tennis Team Opens Season Here Today
'Injun Jim Henderson Is Top
Man In Pirate Track, Football
Netters Battle
Visiting Kenyon
College Outfit
by Mike Katsias
East Carolina's tennis tenm will
begin its 1956 campaign this after-
noon or. the home courts against
Kenyon College of Ohio. Kenyon is
not?d as an outstanding small college
power. The Pirates will be one of the
teams that the visitors are playing
on their Spring trip to the South-
land. Among the others that Kenyor
will me.l are Georgia Tech, Michi-
eran State, Davidson, North Carolina
State, and Washington & Lee Uni-
versity.
Maurice Everett, the No. 1 man
for flse Pirates, will lead the way for
the Purple and Gold against the
strong invaders. Only a sophomore,
the Robersonville boy is considered
by many to be an outstanding threat
for the North State singles title.
Other veterans for East Carolina are
Gil Underwood, Gene Lilley, and A)
Webb.
A large turnout of unseasoned
players are seeking playing positions
for Coach Ray Martinez' starting six.
Bad weather has hampered the Pirate
practice sessions for the last two
weeks. This factor may be a telling
blow in the Pirates' initial match.
Besides tr.e scheduled matches, a
few exhibition matches will be played
ay. If the weather is fair, attend-
ance for the match should be stimu-
lated. The completion of two addi-
tional courts will allow the teams a
chance to begin all singles matches
at the same time.
This year's schedule is not com-
plete 1 at this date, but it promises
to be one of exceptional quality. On
the home courts, many of the out-
standing powers of the area are to
appear against the Pirate netters.
Jim Henderson
Go-Captains
Jim Henderson and Eddie Hurst
have recently been elected as Co-
Captains of the 1956 Pirate track
squad. Henderson is a junior and
top man for the Pirates in the
sprint department. He led the
squad in time events last year.
Hurst, a senior, hurls the javelin
and is also the top pole vaulter
on the Buc cinder team. He is a
native of Greensboro and is ma-
joring in Physical Education. Dr.
J. O. Miller, coach of the team,
said that he was well pleased with
the selection of these two men as
Co-Captains.

The Injured Bird
by William Arnold
1 wm walking in the rain one day
When I saw an injured bird.
I could hear its weeping noises;
Twas an infant's cry I heard,
For its Ma had left it dying
Tr a rain-filled ditch of weeds,
Xot attending to its broken wing
Or its other urgent needs.
Its iny mouth was open
And its lack of food was plain,
So I placed it gently 'neath my coat
To protect it from the rain.
Once inside my shabby dwelling,
I prepared a blazing heat.
I began to search for food to cook
But found none there to eat.
My ac'ring heart grew tender
At the creature's hungry cries,
At the broken, bleeding feathers
Ard the bogging, trusting eyes.
Oh, if only there were something?
Just a crumb of barley left!
But, a!a.s, ithere wasn't anything;
Seemed we both would starve to death.
Then at last my hopes grew happy,
For I struck upon a hunch!
And I threw him in the oven . . .
I would have fried bird for lunch!

sons as a member of the Buccaneer
team. A spine injury kept him out
of the lineup quite extensively last
fall. A broken field runner, he pos-
sesses the speed to break away f-om
opposing p;layer3 and is heralded as
one of the fastest backs in the entire
state.
Co-Captain of Team
"t'njun" Jim's agile conduct and
cooperation was given excellent rec-
ognition Mcitiay night when f ;W
team members of the track squad
? lected him as a co-captain of the
1956 Pirate squad.
His track records speak for them-
selves, for in last year's North State
Championship Meet in High Point,
the dimirutive junior took four first
place events for a total of 20 points.
He broke the high hurdles time with
14.9. the low hurdles mark with 24.2)
and tied the 100 yard dash time with
9.9. This is quite a feat, for in par-
being the outstanding performer in
the High Point meet.
Many of his friends wonder why
the nickname of "Lnjur has stuck
to him. It can be attr&ated to the
tact that Jim is one-third Cherokee
Indian.
When graduation time arrive for
the speedy Virginian, he anticipate-
ticipating in these events one right
after the other, a total of 1,320 yards
is covered. For accomplishing all this,
Henderson was awarded a trophy foil
a job coaching and teaching. He has
ororked with the younger generation
or three years during the summer
months at the Portsmouth Recreation
Bureau in his native city. Tr.is job
has greatly influenced him in making
a decision to coach after graduating.
When asked questions concerning
his opinion of East Carolina, Jim
said, "When I first arrived at Eat

ciation at its weekly meeting March
21. Donald Umstead, president of the
SGA, presented the question of a new
system of choosing the editors of the
news publication to Dr. Messick. Dr.
Messick spoke to the group and dis-
cussed the question at hand.
He stated that it was too late to
change the method of choosing the
editors this year since the 1955-56
handbook is in existence and since
he and his board would not meet
until May 19. However, Dr. Messick
said that if actions were carried out
I rough the proper procedure a new
system could be acted upon for the
coming school year.
A new system by which the edi-
tors could be elected suggested by
Dr. Messick is as follows:
1. Set up rules and regulations to
make up a circumference in which
the student would have to fit.
2. The Board of Publications would
make nominations from those eli-
gible.
3. Election of editors by student
bo iy.
It was stressed that if any student
had a complaint, that he bring it to
the administration at any :ime.
Upon a suggestion by Dr. Messick,
Bonnie Rose moved that a committee
tx s pointed to work with the Pub-
lications Board to make some definite
suggestion by which fhe editor of
e publications be elected. This plan
? Bid be presented to Dr. Messick
. I oard to decide upon in May.
This motion was seconded and pass-
ed; Donald Umstead. Allen Alcock,
Dock Smith, and Jan Rahy were ap-
pointed to make u:p the committee.
Appropriation For Production
Other business brought up at the
meeting included a motion by Billy 1
Sharber to appropriate $300 for the
presentation of a Shakespearean play
at the amphitheatre which will be
completed in the near future This
presentation would be a grand open-
ing for the Flanagan Memorial Am-
phitheatre. This motion was seconded
and passed. Billy Sharber also moved
that $100 be appropriated to pur-
chase voting booths such as those
used on election .hay for SGA offi-
cers; this motion was accepted.
O'Brian Edwards made announce-
ments concerning three .proposed
changes in the constitution of the
SGA. First, Article 7, Section 9: that
the first Thursday in April be the
