"Hie Monkey's .Paw" and "Over- are personified
tones" wiH be presented as the
Bast Carolina Playhouse's first pro-
ductions of the year on October 10,
11, in McGinnis Auditorium.
These two one-act plays will con-
stitute the ; rogram preceding the
playmaker's first major production,
"State of the Union which is sche-
dulcd to run October 30 through
November 2.
The casts for all three plays have
been selected. July Dennis and
Edward PLlkington will play the
I ading roles in "Monkey's Paw"
according to director Bubba Driver.
"Overtones" has four equal parts
and will feature Nellie Baucomb,
Elizabeth Parks, Nancy WiLson,
and Marvin Edwards. Tommy Hull
will direct the play.
Hypocrisy Theme
Hypocrisy is the underlying theme
of the abstract psychological drama,
"Overtones The play depicts an
ordinary meeting between two wo-
men w.ho are having husband trouble.
The audience sees and hears the
actual words the women say to
each other, however, their thoughts,
their tensions, and their overtones
showing the mask
and face of two-faced women.
"The Monkey's Paw" is based on
a story built around superstition.
It is a horror play about the pos-
s ssion of a monkey's paw. The
owner of the paw has three wishes
each accompanied by grief. Such a
situation provides tor a sus; ense-
filled drama and an exciting climax,
the directors said. Other members
of the cast include J. C. Dunn. Jerry
Stokes, and Gerald Powell.
Requirements
The East Carolina Playhouse pre-
sents one major production ech
quarter and one workshop production
every two weeks. It is composed of
majors from all departments in-
terested in drama. The only requi-
sites for entrat.ee into the Playhouse
is work on one major production
or two workshops. The Playhouse
welcomes all people who are in-
terested and at the pr -sent time
is especially in need of men to
work on scenery construction. All
interested persons are asked to see
Tommy Hull at the theater on
Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 to

East Carolina will sponsor an In-
terscholastic High School ress
Workshop, on Friday, October 5, ac-
cording to Alumni Secretary James
W. Butler. High school representa-
tives Irom Eastern North Carolina
will attend.
Participants will submit copies
of their newspapers and yearbooks
for judgement. The program for the
meeting includes greetings from col-
lege officials, addresses by special-
ists in newspaper and yearbook pro-
duction, a movie prepared especially
to give assistance in the development
in the production of school publica-
tions, and the awarding of a plaque
for the outstanding school news-
per and the best school yearbook.
All newspapers submitted will be
judged by the East Carolinian staff
and the yearbooks by the Buccaneer
staff. The judging will be conducted
October 3 and 4.
The representatives will divide in-
to small groups to attend various
meetings included in the program.
The workshop will provide discus-
sions on 1. What is school news? 2.
Getting the best in the yearbook 3.
Pictures tell the story.
Registration will begin at t:45 a.

served.
E st Carolina has been working
i. the sponsorship of this project
for sev ral years. The Eastern North
Tarolina High School Press Con-
ference meets annually in the spring
to discuss and exchange ideas and
problems on school publications.
The idea for a workshop grew out
of thtse meetings. Not only is the
workshop expected to aid the high
schools in their publication work,
but the activity should provide the
campus publications with an educa-
tional experience. Also, by sponsor-
ing the program, the college will
receive definite value from the con-
tacts with the various Eastern North
Carolina High Schools, officials ex-
plained.

Dr. Messick stressed particularly
the need f?r funds to recondition

classroom building is constructed,
present plans call for expanding the
Science and Home Economics de-
partmental quarters in the building.
The president also stressed the
need for additional outdoor athletic
facilities. At the present time, the
college has only one combination
intramural field and parking lot and
eight tennis courts. It has been pro-
posed to provide an intramural
fi Id seuth of Tenth Street, construct
additional tennis courts, and add an
additional section of bleachers to

Several important items incorpo-
rated in the present cut system will
be recommended for change when
the Policy Committee meets 8ome
.ime this month.
The changes were drawn up and
recommended by a committee ap-
pointed by the .President to study
and evaluate the system now em-
ploy d here. The committee, which
held several meetings last spring,
waj headed by Dr. W. E. Marshall
of the Social Studies department
and wa3 composed of students and
faculty members.
When the committee released its
recommendation, D r. Marshall
otaled that he felt that the recom-
mendations would be an improve-
ment in the present system. He also
aid he felt that in many respects
'he recommendations of the com-
mittee were more liberal than the
resent system but in other respects
hey ar- stiffer.
Changes A ffect Freshmen
Most of the changes to be recom-
mended concern freshmen cutting
and the mechanics of the present
system in regard to reporting cuts.
If the reconm :endations planned
are adopted, first-quarter freshmen
will be entitled to only one unex-
cused cut per class; second-quarter
freshmen, two unexcused outs per
class; and third-quarter freshmen,
three unexcused cuts per class, but
in no case shall the number of cuts
llowed be greater than the number
of hours the class meets per week.
Another change in the present
system which would affect courses
that meet more hours a week than
the credit they carry, is this: Stu-
dents shall be permitted as many
cuts in each class as the number
of hours that the class meets per
week. However, each department
shall determine the number of cuts
that will be allowed in respect to
laboratory periods.
Reporting Cuts
The following procedure for re-
porting cuts will also be recom-
mended at the Policy Committee
meeting: The request for an excuse
shall be secured from the proper
dean who will initial it. The stu-
dent will then present the initialed
blank to the proper professors who
will initial it and return it to the
dean, or in case duplicates are made,
the professors concerned shall in-
itial a copy and file it?the dean
filing the original which will serve
as a part of the student's perma-
nent record.

Others Are Saying
The Board of Higher Education does not
have the final say in how much East Caro-
lina will receive for permanent improvements
for the next biennium; but its recommend-
ation that two million dollars be slashed from
ECC'a request means an uphill battle for the
college if it is to get additional funds from
the General Assembly.
A number uf necessary permanent im-
provements for East Carolina were passed
over by the Board of Higher Education in
trimming the request from $3,659,000 to $1,
500,000. Unless these are provided by the 1957
session of the legislature, East Carolina will
continue to find itself severely handicapped
in serving the eastern part of the state.
It is quite clear that the college must have
additional land if it is to continue to grow
to meet the demands of this section. The
$250,000 for land purchases, lopped off by
the Board of Higher Education in its recom-
mendations, should by all means be restored
to the permanent improvement budget of East
irolina. Unless it is. the college might well
have acquired all the contiguous property it
will ever get. Before the 1959 General Assembly
meets, it is quite likely that the only unde-
eloped property now adjacent to that which
the college owns will be developed and no
longer available.
One by one we could review the list of
requests made by East Carolina College which
the Board of Higher Education saw fit to
delete in its recommendations to the Advisory
Budget Commission. It suffices to say, how-
er, that East Carolina in its requests has not
iked for anything that the college does not
urgentlv need. Any items which are eliminated
from the appropriations will handicap the
college to some degree and limit the service
it can offer this state and more particularly
the eastern section it serves.
Students at East Carolina College deserve
? same consideration in state appropriations
students at other state institutions of high-
er learning. They have not received this con-
ration in the past from budget makers or
the legislature. Efforts of ECC alumni and
other citizens throughout the state should see
that they receive it when the budget for the
next biennium is adopted.
If it is to meet the demands of young-
sters f this section for a college education,
East Cur Una must have more facilities and
more funds with which to operate. While the
college needs a good many additions to its
physical plant, for the moment we are con-
cerned with the wide discrepancy between
per capita appropriations for operations and
instruction at East Carolina and some other
state SChOOis.
on a per student baaia, East Carolina s
appn on for operations is about three-
fifths that of the University of North Carolina
and North I i lina College at Durham. East
Carolina has approximately 20 students for
each member of the faculty, while at divisions
of the university there is one faculty member
,ery eight to twelve students.
Why should state officials expect East
Carolina to provide adequate education for
its students on approximately $350 per capita
per year when an appropriation of over $580
per year is made for each student at the
University and North Carolina College? Why
should East Carolina be allowed funds for
nly one faculty member for every eight to
2 'students?
It is quite clear that appropriations for
neither operations nor permanent improve-
ments at East Carolina have kept pace with
iwth of the student body. Budget makers
ailed to take into account the rapid in-
crease in enrollment at East Carolina in up-
ward revisions of operational appropriations
for the institution each biennium.
Unless the people of the eastern part of
the state rally to East Carolina's support there
is everv indication the school's per capita
.ropriation for operations will be far below
that of other state institutions during the next
biennium. ? ,
If, on the other hand, the 60,000 alumni
of East Carolina, plus the parents of present
and future students -at the college and other
interested individuals go to bat for East Caro-
lina receiving a fairer share of funds for op-
erations, the college will see its appropriations
f??r operations more in line with those of other
institutions.?The Daily Reflector.

Frat Situation
Is Beginning To Be
Downright Funny
THIS FRATERNITY situation is
l,erinning to be downright funny.
Ther 's a big joke going around
campus: If one of East Carolina's
established fraternities throws you
a black bill curve, just go out and
organize your own groni . And that's
what a few fellows seem to be doing.
THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT
shouli cease to recognize these
groups which spring up over night.
A us-ual procedure is to place the
organization on probation for one
year before awarding it a seat on
the legislature. One such fraternity
was recently awarded a seat and
another was placed on probation.
Of'icials from the newly-organ-
ized grou s attend an Executive
Council meeting where they spend
a period explaining the functions of
th ir organization, worthwhile pro-
jiets. and other points.
Their aim, it seems, is to ultimate-
ly become affiliated with a national
social fraternity group. I think some
of the projects of the newer frats
are splendid ideas and could certain-
ly rove valuable to the students
and school in many ways.
East Carolina's other fraternities
weren't organized in such an extem-
poraneous manner, however. No one
knows at this time wr.ether or not
the establishment of national social
fraternities will be permitted here.
These which plan to affiliate should
remain on probation until college
officials do give their okay.
Ill EXPECTING another group
with a carefully-prepared consti-
tution to show u,p at the next Stu-
dent Government Executive Coun-
cil meeting and ask for recognition.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to
see someone stroll in and explain:
T represent I BUMMA CIG. We
have some wonderful men in our or-
ganization. Projects? Yes, we have
some very worthwhile projects. We're
planning to sponsor a magazine of
t e month club
"Magazine of the month?"
"Sure, we're going to meet each
mo .th and discusP Playboy. What?
Oh. no. None of our men touch the
stuff. Sure we're going to find a
way to keep students down here over
the weekends. Qualifications? Well,
you ve gotta have some quality
points
AS THE EAST CAROLINIAN
pointed out in its editorial last week,
there are undoubtedly many advan-
tageous aspects of organizing na-
tional group affiliations here.
Some of our top student govern-
ment men fee that such organiza-
tions would definitely prove worth-
while for East Carolina. They've
seen them in operation at various
other schools and liked what they
saw. I don't believe they would hand
the student body a bad seed.
As it stands right now, officials
in the administration building can
point out many disadvantageous as-
pects of the national groups. From
what I can gather from the faculty
members, the majority seem to be
taking a negative approach, and
there are faculty members on the
committee. The SGA shouldn't try
to rush things.

It so chanced that Dee Cade and

THE STUDENT-FACULTY com-
mittee working on the matter will
make a thorough investigation be-
fore presenting their remmend-
ations to the administration, v ho
will in turn forward them to our
Board of Trustees.
I hope the final outc me will be
determined by a student o but
it is wise first to make these stu-
dies and help the students to be-
come familiarized with national
social fraternities.
Actually, though, I don't believe
the majority of the students en-
rolled here are really concerned over
the matter. Those who are have al-
ready made a decision and nothing
any committee says will alter it in
any way.
But a student vote at this time
would show a sounding approval.
Tho?? students who have no opinion
on the subject at this time would be
p rsuaded by interested friends to
ea-t a positive vote.
On the other hand, should the
committee voice an opinion and dis-
regard the whole student voice, only
hard feelings would result.
The final decision should definitely
be left to the students.
Dear Editor:
This year's SG. has really gotten
off to a great start ami, under the
leadership of President Dock Smith,
it should prove to be one of the
most active student governments
that ECC has seen in several years.
As every student probably knows
by now, the SGA went on record last
week as being in favor of national
social fraternities. It's good to see
the student legislature take a posi-
tive stand on this issue. This issue
is of thi utmost importance to the
future of East Carolina College. It's
too bad that the East Carolinian,
which is supposed to be a student
newspapej- interested in the stu-
dents and the school, cannot weigh
the facts and take its stand along-
side the SGA in support of national
social fr ternities. However, it is
hope! that the student body will get
a chance to vote its whole-hearted
approval of the SGA's taking the
lead in support of fraternities. Let
us hope that the East Carolinian
will see fit to take sides on some
issues that come up during the year
and not be continually on top of the
fence not knowing which way to fall!
In the current issue of Life maga-
zine (September 24, 1956) there is a
short article on (fraternities that
should be read by every student at
ECC. It points out that since 1946
the number of national fraternity
chapters ha? increased from 2600 to
3500. It should be the desire of
every student to inform himself as
to the true facts about fraternities
and not be misguided by some absurd
and unpremeditated statements made
by a few self-airpointed authorities
on the subject.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Phelps
D ar Editor:
After attending the football game
between East Carolina and Stetson
Saturday night, I can plainly see
why (East Carolina's students do
not have much college spirit.
I have seen more exciting high
school games than the game between
East Carolina and Stetson. A ball
team does not have to win all their
games to create school spirit in a
student. They only have to show
team spirit.
Maybe the tarn is doing as well
as they can. That, however, seems
impossible because we have some of
the heaviest linemen and some of the
fastest backs in the state. We do not
stem to lack in experience either.
I am not sa ing that our football
players are nut trying to win games
for us. I an saying that one man
cannot be the hero and win a ball
game by himself. It takes teamwork
from the players as well as from the
coach. Maybe it is the coach instead
of the team.
No matter what the case may be,
I hope the necessary changes will
be made before we face tougher
foes.

Pirate Swimmers Beginning
Drills For Coming Season
Still striving for a place in the
win column, East Carolina knocked
head- with a visiting Stetson Uni-
versity team last Saturday night
and came out with a 7-7 deadlock
at College Stadium.
Th- two teams kept things on
? ven terms throughout the contest
and play was dominated mostly by
defense. East Carolina picked up
' 00 yards rushing and their Florida
pponents gained a total of 105, which
urn u the offensive pattern nicely.
Late in the fourth quarter, after
ucking down to the Stetson nine-
tin! line, fullback Kemp Wickizer
plunged through tackle on two plays
ror the Pirate score. Bubba Mathews'
conversion was good and ECC "held
ii led with only minutes remain-
injr.
Stetson took the kickoff, battled
into Pirate territory and ultimately
scored on a series of pass-and-run
plays. The extra point tied things
at 7-all and it ended that way only
seconds later.
Outstanding for the Bucs on of-
. n e an i defense was end Ray
Pennington, who blocked a Stetson
punt on the 24 and ran it to the 14,
to set up ECC's .score. Coach Jack
Boons called it "Ray's best per-
i manee of his career
Another Buc who drew praise
from Coach Boone was quarterback
Mattocks, who saw duty as
serve behind Dick Cherry and
stole th show with shrewd thinking
and execution. It was behind M-?-
t eiks' command that the Pirates
scored.

an opportunity to attend practice
from 2:00 to 4:00 each week-day.
The loss of only two seniors and
the arrival of some promising new-
comers points toward the belief that
this year's team may be the beat
ever here at East Carolina. The
schedule has not been completed as
of this date, but among some of the
opponents on tap for the Pirates are:
N. C. State, one of the nation's
inest; William & Mary, Washing-
ton & Lee, and V. M. L, all strong
?South rn Conference powers; and
the tentative list are V. P. I. and
Wake Forest.
Lat year's team provided Pirate
supporters with much to cheer a-
bout and this year's edition seems
to possess the same tendency. The
Buc swimmers will be tough and
the outlook for a successful season
is in prospect.

Homesick Frosh Coeds?

Miss Ruth White. Dean of Wo-

desire for death, but quick, results
from the long, long lines one stands
in to register, take physical exam-

books, and take placement tests.
