Warning
A word of warning to men dormi-
tory students comes from the Dean
of Men and Chief Harrell. Leaving
the door key over the room door is
not a good practice as it is an open
invitation to any thief to walk in.
Several thefts have been reported
recently.
The night policeman will check at
night in the dormitories, and possibly
in the daytime, for these keys and
will turn them over to Dean J. H.
Tucker. Students will have to re-
port to Tucker for the return of the
keys and may expect disciplinary
action to be taken.
Also thefts at the gym have been
reported. Harrell suggests that stu-
dents use the lockers and lockB which
may be obtained from Dr. Jorgensen
or either leave billfolds and such
items in the dormitory locked up.

By JAN RABY
WE'RE HAPPY that so many of
you missed the papr during the ex-
ams and following the Thanksgiving
holiday, as was evidenced by the many
questions of "when's the paper coming
out?" Thanks to the pre-exam vaca-
tion, we editorialists passed our ex-
anis and courses and we're back to
try again.
MANY EXCHANGERS are unsure
of our number of publications and
schedule. So far, we have 'published
nine issues prior to this one. The is-
sue following this one will be Decem-
ber 19 and the next issue will be Jan-
uary 16.
EACH ISSUE we hope to feature
a department on campus, if possible.
This week the honor goes to the Mu-
sic Department which serves the col-
lege not only on the campus but
!eads much good publicity by the
trips of the various groups in the de-
partment to other areas.
EXPERIMENTING this quarter,
we're planning on a 'Kulture" preview
and review of entertainment column
on page 2 each week. Also we have a
new columnist to give you a slant
on world events. But we're .still in-
t rested in a "WeVI like to see on
campus" ty; e column supported by
student letters. How about it?
HELP WANTED is still our theme
as we welcome any newcomers to the
staff who are interested in journalism
in its best practical applicationwork.
Editor's office hours are 9:30 a.m. to
11:30 a. m. Monday and Wednesday;
2:00 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. on Mon Tues
Wed and Friday. You can also catch
me at points in between the office
and t e rimer's shop. See also Billy
Arnold, Managing Editor, or Martha
Wilson, Feature Editor, if you have
questions to ask. We would especially
like for someone to come up this
quarter and assist Carolyn Smith,
Business Manager, nnd learn the job
in order to take over next year.
FILE COPIES of certain old issues
of the paper are needed by the li-
brary .staf to be bound for perma-
nent filing. Issues missing are: Vol-
ume 31, numbers 8 and 9; Volume 31,
numbers 1, 1U, arid 19; and Volume
HO numbers 1C and 19. See Mr. Ram-
sauer in the Library if you have
copies of these issues.
THE MAINTENANCE DEPART-
MENT agreed with us that the streets
on campus should be named. Why
aren't they?
DON'T MISS the Christmas As-
sembly. It' one of my favorite mem-
ories of my college days and I'm sure
you'll agree, once you've attended
one. It's one occasion that the stu-
dent body really shows some spirit
and a feeling of closeness abounds.
I'll remind you again, next issue, not
to miss it. It's worth the time.
REGISTRATION DAY still left
something to be desired in the way of
organization. The freshmen were
packed in certain lines like canned
sardines.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN SOME-
THING? It would be nice to see mem-
bers of the various departments get
together for a review or revamp of
teaching technique. There must be a
reason students rate some teachers
so high and we don't believe it's en-
tirely the grading angle.
COMMENDATIONS to WWWS,
our FM radio station, for the speaker
which now helps spread the music
over the campus via the Library win-
dow. Also a 'pat on the back to those
students who have volunteered their
time to work in the radio station.
FOREWARNING TO SOCIAL
FRATERNITIES not only will
we present various campus depart-
ments as a seature, but we will also
devote space in one issue to "what
have the social fraternities done as
a service to ECC so far
ALUMNI SPIRIT begins in college,
we suggestwhy not a "Represent
your C unty" night in the Alumni
Building and sponsored by the Alumni
Association. Different counties could
i leet in different rooms and during
different hours, with each meeting
limited to an hour, with refreshments
served. It would be just a social get-
together, say, for freshmen and soph-
omores during Fall quarter. Just an
iiea; it could be developed in several

Active in the SGA, Lena was cho-

At The Game
Columnist Reports A Balcony Conversation
By BILLY ARNOLD
Scene: A recent basketball game.
Memorial Gymnasium is jam packed
and the score is close. Sitting about
midway up the balcony are two girls;
Call them Sandra and Katherine.
They are talking:
Sandra: I have a lot to do tonight.
I shouldn't even be here. But I love
ballgame.
Kathrine: Me too.
Sandra: Oh, look. There's that boy
I was telling you about. The one
that talks so much in Spanish.
Kathrine: Where?
Sandra: There. See? Coming in the
door. He talks through his nose.
Kathrine: OhF yeah.
Sandra: And look who he's with.
Kathrine: Who is she? She's so
cute.
Sandra: I don't know. Look at that
sweater- It's three sizes too small,
I know.
Kathrine: She's cute though. I've
seen her before.
Sartdara: I wonder why she goes
with him?
Kathrine: Maybe she likes him.
Sandra: She probably talks through
her nose, too.
Katihrine; No she doesn't. I've seen
her before. Had a class with her.
Sandra: Who's winning?
Kathrine: Ahhhhh We are.
There's the scoreboard.
Sandra: We've got such a good
team. Look at Coach Porter.
Kathrine: Who's number 17?
Sandra: I don't know. They never
tell you who goes into the game. All
they do is tell you when somebody
scores and we can see that already.
Kathrine: There's that Herman
character at the door.
Sandra: Ugh!
Kathrine: Did he ever ask you for
another date?
Sanidxa: No, but I wouldn't have
dated him anyway. I think he's got
a Mother complex. He held my hand
in the movie and apologised when
he go me to the dorm. He's sincere,
though.
Kathrine: Oh, look. The Coach's
mad. Look.
Sandra: It's all so funny to me. If
you think about it, I mean. Look at
everybody. The coaches are getting
mad and the players are struggling
so hard and everybody's all upset and
all. It's really silly when you think
about it.
Kathrine: I know it. Look at num-

ber 12's muscles. I'd hate to make
him mad with mo.
Sandra: There's Lulu. She said she
had a date tonight. She's down there
with t'at Morton girl. Hah-haaaaa.
I can' wait to see her tomorrow. She's
so phony.
Katherine: All over, too. And the
way she dresses it isn't hard to tell.
I'd be embarrassed.
Sandra: Me, too. Let's go get a
drink.
Kathrine: It isn't halftirae, yet.
There's six minutes left.
Sandra: Well (That boy over
there keeps looking at us. That one
two rows down. The green sweater
theresee?)
Kathrine: Yeah. I've noticed.
Sandra: Do you know him?
Kathrine: No, but he's cute. He
needs a haircut though. But he's cute.
Sandra: He is nice looking. Don't
look at him; he's looking up here
again.
Kathrine: You know, I could use a
cigarette.
Sandra: Me, too. Is he still looking?
Kathrine: TIgh-ugh. I wish halftime
would comr. These benches are get-
ting hard.
During the past few years. East Carolina
has in various ways sought to increase its
prestige in the eyes of the genera! public as
well as with ther institutions. Last year,
after the suggestion of several students
size of the diploma was increased. This v
done primarily to distinguish our college di-
plomas from those of the state high schools.
Then came the radio station, and for this
year, the much publicized attempt at estab-
lishing a literary magazine. Fortunately. I
is in the final stages.
It has been suggested by several interr-
ed individuals that the personal pride a gradu-
ate takes in his diploma would be greatly in-
creased if the latin terms cum laude, maana
cum laude, and summa cum laude were inclu-
ded on the diplomas of those students de-
serving such distinction. According to Web-
ster, cum laude is a term which indicates
that the recipient has done work of a higher
grade than the ordinary recipient. In short,
with praise. The other two terms are pro-
gressions upwardmayna cum laude. with
great praise, and summa cum laude, with the
highest praise. The motivation which would
result from the promise of such a distinct
is readily apparent. It is employed in many of
the leading schools of our countryat Duke
and even at c ur near-by neighbor and rival,
Atlantic Christian. Boston University uses
the same quality point evaluation scale as
is used here. The Massachusetts school awards
the cum laude distinction to those students
who complete their college work with a qual-
ity point average of "2 For those finishing
with a q. pt. average of "2.5 magna cum
laude is granted, and for a "2.8 the high-
ly respected and rare summa cum laude be-
comes the supreme distinction.
This is. however, not a new idea at East
Carolina. Three years ago, Dr. Messick be-
came interested in the same thing and went
so far as to request a report to be prepared.
This went as far as the Board of Trustees,
but for some reason, was never acted upon.
One of the faculty members has stated that
the administration has no objection or rul-
ing that would prevent the establishment
of such a practice.
It seems to me that students other than
those who are members of the honorary edu-
cation fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi, should re-
ceive distinction during the graduation ex-
ercises. The members of this fraternity are
privileged to wear a gold braid. I am inter-
ested in knowing why this fraternity dis-
tinction exists. If there is to be distinction
for the deserving, then let it be for all de-
serving and not for a small clique, or more
politely stated, a fraternity.

ful season.
Guard Jessel Curry shows defensive touch as Bucs blast Catawba.
With the coming of winter the focus
has turned to the hardwod sport and with good reason. Coach Howard Por-
ter's crew has set a hot trail in the opening games, surprising all the ex-
perts plus the team's followers.
All will have to agree that Coach Porter has done an overnight job
if hi young team continues its present play and winds u back in its fam-
iliar position at he top. With the '57-58 slate, the Missouri native begins
his eleventh season as head basketball coach. Since that time he has brought
the Bucs up in North State basketball ame, winning the regular season
title three of the last five years. Last year his club slipped down the ladder
but s ill squeezed out a winning record in regular season flay.
Although the Bucs have opened up strong, too much can not be an-
ticipated at this stage of the season. Neither Guilford, Ca'awba, or Pheiffer
will stack up to the foes ECC will have to face as the seaion progresses.
Also, the Pira es haven't run up against a zone defense, their biggest road-
blocker last season.
Imports Help
Porter has brought in several outsiders, adding to and molding what
m'ght be a strong powerhouse. Jessel Curry and Don Smith are the two
new boys figuring high in Por er's plans right now. Both drew starting
nods and responded better than expected.
Curry tops the Bucs in scoring after three gam's with a 18.3 mark.
Smith, a "valuable team man" has a 9.0 average.
Harold Ingram has been a big man in the Pirate a tack thus far and
at this phase of the season gets our nod lor one of ECC's pre-season All-
Conference candidates. The Wadesboro native has been acting Captain for
the Bucs and has been a fine leader.
Conference Weaker
The North State shapes up to be weaker this season although com-
petition should be keener with many teams in contention for the crown, now
.vorn by Lenoir Rhyne.
The Bears lost big Raeford Wells which definitely makes them a
weaker club. Their chief rival, Elon, also has a flock of stars missing. Ed
Jura'ic. Frank DeRita, and Dee Atkinson, all big men, have departed,
leaving Don Mathis in a rebuilding stage.
Western Carolina and High Point loom as the clubs most likely to
take over the favorite's spot. Both clubs are loaded with veterans and had
successful seasons last winter. The Cats are reported to have strengthened
their cluib and have one of the best in the school's history.
Arch-rival, Atlantic Christian, also felt the graduation load hard
with big John Marley and Billy Widigon being their chief casualties. The
Bulldogs have taken their lumps in early tilts but knowing McComas, the
Wilson rivals will probably be strong by tournament time.
Catawba could be tne sleeper among the bottom clubs. Guilford and
Appalachian remain as the clubs to fight for the eightn tournament spot.
Both are bound to be improved but should not climb unless a complete
relat se by another club occurs.
We feel the Pirates are definitely on the rise and will be in the thick
of this year's race. Coach Por er has a young and inexperienced club and
their "peak" may still be a year or so away.
The Greensboro Daily News, headquarters of North State publi-
city has picked Western Carolina, High Point, Lenoir Rhyne, and East Caro-
lina as the chief challengers.
Football Champ
Lenoir Rhyne was declared football champion at the North State
meeting last week after much discurs'on. Elon, the other team seeking the
title, finslly proposed the motion which gave the Bears the title, their
third straight.
Elon, finishing the season with a 4-0 record, had not met the con-
ference requirements by playing five games. Lenoir Rhyne had one defeat
on their mark. After their 75-0 licking of Catawba, we feel that the Bears
desirved the title.
If the Christians were really seeking the crown, it seems that ar-
rangements could be made to replay 'he games. The North State is still not
as strong as it should be, and awarding Elon the title against conference
regulations would seem to weaken the governing body.
Last season, ECC went through the tennis season undefeated, but
w as deprived of the crown because High Point postponed two matches,
iea-ing ECC without enough to qualify. High Point was awarded the trophy.
This is a minor srort but why should the principle be different? Elon did
have the opportunity to re-echedule the games.
Odds and Ends
Congratulations to James Speight who placed on both All-Confer-
ence teams (Greensboro Daily News and Winston Salem Journal) and also
on the NAIA district club. Speight has an opportunity to become one of
ECC's all-time athletes Catawba Coach Earl Ruth stated last
Saturday that his two hardest games were with East Carolina and Western
Carolina on their respective courts. He has never won a game in Memorial
Gym and reports say that it must have been in the early days of Wright
Auditorium (the former gjm) when he won a game at ECCFoot-
ball is gone but not forgotten. The Bucs hit the practice field January 15 for
Winter Practice .Coach Jack Boone has been a buy man lately. His
work has just begun as he has started looking over next year's pros-
pects Guilford, who refused to play us in football several years ago,
has re-considered and may be on the 1958 schedule.
Football Salute
Here's a final word on the past football season. The Boonesmen can
hold their heads up this winter as they won their .final game in Cinderella
fashion, a pass in the final 12 seconds. One can forget the past when he
completes a season as the Bucs did this one. They can thrive on their
glory this winter and next year enter the season with a victory streak.
Lee Atkinson, filling in for the injured James Speight, played a
1 tremendous role in the win and will probably make the Blue Hose's All-
Opponent team with. ease. Lynn Bf.rnett, Ralph Zehring, Wayne Davis,
and James Faircloth were the other heroes in the closing and dramatic
victory.

Varsity Band
There is still room for those
students interested in joining the
Varsity Band, a new organization on
campus primarily for non-music ma-
jors, it was announced by Thomas
W. Miller of the Music Department.
Meeting on Mondays and Wednes-
j s at 4 PM, the theme of the grou'r
might be stated as playing music for
te fun of it, rather than profession-
ally. It will not be primarily a per-
forming band, and the music reper-
toire will be geared to the individual
players.
This is also a Varsity Band cours
for one hour credit, but it may be
taken without credit.
Mr. Miller stated, "The idea of this
course is to get more students to play
music for the fun of it. Music majors
ulready have their own band and this
is more for those non-music majors
who would like ti get together and

Women's Chorus Prepares For Assembly
By ROSEMARY EAGLES
It's a known and respected fact
that each of the twenty-nine seniors
in the Department of Music is a lea-
der in his own right. They're a little
like any city's local Pour Hundred. :
By demand' and by choice they have
been thrust into the spotlight time
and again. But they know per-
haps better than anyone else how j
practice makes almost perfection and
how necessary those hours and hmrs
of hard work are.
Taknt may be God given, but it
will be no hing until the "person sacri-
fices and works to make the talent
evident to others. Tbe celebrated
twenty-nine have no time to let their
talent rust. There are too many ex-
tra-curricular activities. A person mu-
sically inclined finds that he also has
a special social obligation to fill. One
boy has sung in so many weddings
that he has acquired a large col-
lection of cuff links and tie clasps,
the usual gift from the groom.
Problems
There are problems too. Many stu-
den b cast the spring productions in
their minds before the real cast is
announced. The big question is how
can one possibly keep such seasoned
performers as Dottie Jo James of
j Wilmington and Barbara Harris of
Beaufort from pulling hair when cast-
ing time comes around? How can a
less experienced student dare hope to
get a-leading role?
The key lies in the fact that com-
petition is stiff, the time is short,
and the hardest workers come out
with the top roles each time. One
s ring, within a week before opening
night, one little sophomore dived
into a big supporting role that has
kept her in the spotlight ever since -s active in tne Student Union. Fred

Other Interests
Many of the senior music majors
have shown definite interests in otheT
fields. Anna Montgomery of Green-

Dottie Jo James, George Knight
of Rocky Mount, Ralph Shnmaker of

of these groups.
Many In Frst

ternity of which George Knight is
president, and Sigma Alpha Iota So-

Tomlinson, a piano major from Frank-
Mnton, is considering the concert stage
or having his own private studio.
Several, including Harold Langdon
of Smithfield, Cecil James of Man-

dance bands. Bob Fleming lead the
Collegians for two years. Jane Fuller

Barbara Harris Soloist With Orchestra
Sigma Pi Alpha
Ann Mayo, recent distinguished
graduate in the Foreign Language
department, spoke at the November
meeting of the Sigma .Pi Alpha fra-
ternity. Now teaching at Edenton
High School, she was the recipient
of the A)AUW foreign study scholar-
ship which enabled her to study at
the Sorbonne and tour France this
past summer.
In her talk Miss Mayo said that
the most impressive thing about
France was the smallness and oldness
of things. Speaking of the Sorbonne
itself, she said there was no campus,
just buildings. An international col-
lege, about one-third of its student
body was from the United States.
An interesting custom noted was
the fact that instead of locking the
store doors Frenchmen just took the
door knob off and walked home with
it. Also, in France, they put their
bread on the tablecloth.
Library Club
Library club members were
issued their keys this past week.
These keys are in silver and gold with
a crest of black in the shape of a
book with "Library Club" printed

courage the new members and li-
brary science majors.

Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi re
cently underwent a week's training
program. The training week is known
as "Help Week" and all new pledges
are required to dress as business
mer In addition, they must have
with them at all times their pledge
