Coronation Plans Changed
According to Jimmy Phelps, chair-
man ol the May Day Committee, the
time of the coronation exercises has
been changed to three o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon, May 12, on the
front lawn by the administration
building.
First on the program will be an
introduction of the May Day attend-
ants followed by the crowning of the
Queen. The third grade from the
Wanl-Coates Training School wiB
present a Maypole dance. There will
be a iigure by the May Court and
also a special number.
The attendants will be arrayed in
aqua dresses with matching hats,
while the Matron of Honor will wear-
pink and the Queen a white dress
with a train. There will be special
flowers for the entire court.
Previous to last year the corona-
tion always has been held in the
afternoon in the college stadium. In
cr.se of rain the event will be staged
in Wright Auditorium.

The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Messick to study and evaluate
the cut system now in effect here
will make several recommendations
for changes in the present system
at the next faculty meeting to be
mid sometime in early May. The com-
mittee head.d by Dr. W. E. Mars-hall
of the Social Studies Department
and composed of students and faculty
members has held several meetings
during the last two quarters. During
this time they have drawn up the
pro osals that they will recommend
to the faculty.
Dr. Marshall stated that he felt
thai the recommendations would be
improvement in the present sys-
tem, n some respects 1 think that
recommmdations of the committee
are more liberal than the present
system; in other respects it is more
stiffer he went on to say.
Will Recommend Followir.jr Changes
The following recommendations
concerning the number of cuts al-
lowed will be presented to the fac-
ulty:

be a new procedure for getting class
cuts excused. The request for an
excuse shall be secured from the
propei Dean who will initial it. The
student will then present the ini-
tialed blank to the proper profes-
sors who will initial it arid return
it to the Dean. Or in case duplicates
are made, the professors concerned
shall initial a copy and file it?the
Dean filing the original which will
serve as a part of the student's
permanent record.
This change will eliminate the list
f abs.mtees regularly compiled by
the" Deans and forwarded to the
professors to check.
The statements already in the cata-
logue are recommended by the com-
mittee to remain as stated.
The committee which will present
these recommended changes is made
up of Dr. W. E. Marshall, chairman,
Dean J. H. Tucker, Dean Ruth White,
Mr. J. B. Cummings, Mr. George
Perry, Miss Nell Stallings, Mr. Don-
ald Uinstead, past president SGA,
and Miss Ann Bowles, chairman of
Women's Judiciary.
Faculty to Discuss Fraternities
Also, at the next meeting the fac-
ulty will discuss social fraternities.
A preliminary meeting was held last
w ek at which social fraternities were
discussed. At this meeting it was
decided that the students should be
well informed of the activities of
such fraternities. It was recommend-
ed that students should discuss the
pros and cons of social fraternities
in the East Carolinian before th??
faculty acted upon them.

Results Of Junior English
Examination Available Soon
East Carolina's Concert Band iB shown rehearsing for its annual spring program which will be presented
Wednesday, May 9, at 8 p. m. in the McGinnis Auditorium.
The English examination required
of all juniors here this year for the
'lirst time, which was administered
late in March, has now been scored
and the information tabulated by Dr.
Hazel Taylor of the department of
psychology, director of testing at the
college.
The examination during the junior
year is similar to the one given in
a large number of colleges and uni-
versities in this country. The purpose
is to help students find and correct
before their s nior year deficiencies
in reading and English usage and
to keep tem aware of the need to
carry ovr i.ito habitual use what
they learnt d in freshman composition
courses.
Lois Grigshy, faculty member of
the department of English, serves
as chairman of the English Usage
Committee, at the request of which
the college administration inaugurat-
ed the examination.
Results are being prepared by Di-
rector of Student Personnel James
H. Tucker for distribution to the
faculty and will be in the hands of
faculty advisors of students (before
the close of the present spring term.
Individual juniors may learn of
results of the tests through tiheir
advisors either late this spring or
early in the fall.
Opportunity will be given for those
juniors who were unable to take the
examination in March to complete
the requirement later. The date will
be announced by Vice President Leo
W. Jenkins, under whose supervision
the testing program was set up.
Some comparative studies of re-
sults are being made by Dr. Taylor
and Dr. Tucker. Others are planned
by Dr. James Poindexter and Dr.
James Allison, members of the de-
partment of English and of the Eng-
lish Usage Committee of the college.

A Little Less Noise J
At the request of many students. Dock
Smith. SGA president, appointed a committee
to investigate the existing noise problem in the
library and to recommend some type of solution.
It is the feeling of a number of interested people
that the situation can be remedied by the students
concerned who frequent the library without any
sort of imposed "police" or disciplinary action;
however, if that is what it takes, the SGA will
have no alternative.
Perhaps with the coming of Spring, it is
necessary to remind students that the college h-
brarv is a place designated for study, not a social
center. And when it is misused, then those people
are infringing on the rights of others who need
a quiet place in which to study.

SIOUSSAT'S COMMENTS
Are "social" fraternities an asset
or a liability to a college as a whole
in the development of an individual
for his life as a social animal after
he leaves school?
To the majority of students this
question is not. of vital issue because
there is the realization that it will
take time to bring and establish
chapters of national "social" fra-
ternities. They feel that the social
.raternities will not affect their col-
lege career to any degree but they
should stop and weigh certain facts.
"Social" fraternities as a whole
can, and ultimately do, cause discord
in a college or university! Since this
is a rather bold statement without
facts I feel that it is necessary to
begin weighing the good points and
the bad.
One of the main objectives of most
?'social" fraternities is to develop a
fellowship within the fraternity bas-
ed on high moral and religious stand-
aids which will aid the members and
be of benefit to the institution they
att? nd. With this view in mind, "so-
cial" fraternities would be a goal I
for every college or university to
strive for. Not only would they be
wanted but there would actually be
a demand for them by students and
educators alike. But somehow, after
the " ocial"
established iei
to stray from this objective
all, the same routine becom s rela-
tively horning for even those of high
morals. Maybe a change in the "par-
ty" policy would help.
, t seems as though 1 am only
trying to emphasize the party at-
mosph( re oi a "social" fraternity, so
leaving this .point 1 would like to
bring this question to mind: "Do
'social' fraternities add to school
spirit?"
My answer is definitely "no So-
cial fraternities only tend to increase
intra-fratemity competition and glo-

BEAMON'S COMMENTS
MAN is naturally gregarious. Be-
cause of this, the national fraternity
system has served the college man's
for this type of close group
association for over 100 years.
A boy coming to college straight
out of high school must go through
a process of changing and adjust-
. from old idea.s and customs to
the new ones that confront him at
ege. Fraternities help him do this.
I bring out his hidden talent
and help him to achieve his goals
while he is in college. He associates

An East Carolina team has yet to
win the North State tennis champion-
ship in all its years of existence, !how-
c-ver, Coach Martinez seems to think
that this is the big year for the Pi-
rates.
On Monday, the Bucs lost a close
5-4 dtcision to the Wolfpack netters
of North Carolina State. In an earlier
meeting of the two squads, State
had posted a 6-3 triumph.
Winning for ECC in the singles

Two doubles combinations won for
the Buccaneer team. Mike Katsias

The Pirates, with or without the
win over Guilford, have posted a
