1911 she was the first to receive a
two-year diploma from the college.

educa'ion. She was the first East
Carolina alumna to hold the Ph. D.
degree.
Because of her achievements as an
educator and her loyalty to the col-
lege, .she was selected as th first
recipient of the annual award which
' a been given to an outstanding
graduate by the East Carolina Alum-
ni association each year since 1940.
During the time when she was a
student at the Training School, Dr.
Dowell was a resident of Raleigh.
Her father was the Rev. George J.
Dowell. She helped organize the Ra-
leigh Chapter of the East Carolina
Alumni Association.
Dr. Dowell has taught and done
supervisory work in public schools.
She was for several years associate
irofessor of education at Winthrop
College, Rock Hill, Sou'h Carolina.
Since 1948 she has been a faculty
member at Mississippi Southern.
In "East Carolina's Spade: To
Serve the anniversary pageant, Dr.
Dowell will take part in scenes based
on the organization of the college
Alumnae Association in June, 1911
and on the graduation of the students
in the early years of the school, and
in a scene introducing the eighteen
recipients of the Alumni Award.
Here are some of the highlighting
scenes from the pageant to be pre-
sented at ECC on May 3 and 4.
Fishing pole in hand, barefooted, a
youngster passes by a well-dressed
gentleman who is digging with a
shovel. Not realizing that the man is
the governor of North Carolina and
that he is witnessing the ground-
breaking ceremonies for East Caro-
lina College, the boy asks for fish-
ing worms.
Athletics, their development, are
of the first faculty, the
first girl to regiser, the first man
to obtain a degree, a former editor
of the East Carolinian, and other
ECC affiliates of by-gone days will
be presented in a dramatic closing
scene.

The Invitations Committee for the
Junior-Senior Dance will hold three
days of registration next week. Ac-
cording to Purvis Boyette, chairman
of the committee, a table will be
set up in the College Union on Mon-
day, Tuesday, and Wednesday after-
noons from 2:00 until 5:00, April 21,
22, 23 for the purpose of registering
all juniors and seniors who would like
to receive an invitation to the Junior-

followed primarily in order to ascer-
tain the correct mailing address of
each upper classman. One invitation
is all that will be neccessary for each
couple. Invitations will be mailed
only to those students who register
on the specified dates.
As this is an invitation dance, no
one will be admitted unless the in-
vitation is presented at the door. They
will be checked. Students are reminded
that the dance is formal and street
coats and ties and party dresses are
not suitable. Those who insists on com-

Mike Uzzle,
The World University Service is a
program dedicated to provide mean3
through which university men and
women can combine their efforts to
help where needs are greatest. It had
its roots in European Student Relief,
which was established in 1920 to meet
urgent material needs among univer-
sity students caused by the First
World War. The Service seeks to
provide help in various ways: where
textbooks are rare and expensive,
WUS provides printing equipment;
it builds preventive health clinics
and student medical centers.
Mr. Marion has worked both with
the World University Service and the
YM and YWCA. While in Occidental
College he was active in WUS; while
doing graduate work at Columbia he
was a special agent for the National
Student YM and YWCA; and has
done much conference work in En-
rope with the WUS.
As executive sponsor for the cam-
paign for WUS the "Y" is planning
a general discussion pertaining to
WUS in the "Y" Hut Sunday night,
April 20, at 8:00 p.m. with Mr. Mm-
ion as speaker; and on Monday he
will visit in several classrooms. No-
tices will be posted concerning th
ime of these visits.
The "Y" urges other organizations
on campus to back the WUS cam-
paign. Usually the SGA on each cam-
pus initiates a drive for this cause;
however, fraternities and other or-
ganizations have backed it also. The
"Four Freshmen" were sponsored by
the Inter-fraternity Council of State
College with the benefits going for
WUS.
'Clean-Up' Week
Now Underway
"Clean-Up" week, sponsored by the
Circle K Club and supported by the
Student Government Association, is
being conducted this week at EOC.
All students are urged to unite in
tr is endeavor to beautify and "clean-
ify" their campus. Circle K members
are carryfhg blue and yellow trash
cans as reminders to the students
that trash should be deposited in the
proper receptacles rather than thrown

Murderers Of
The King's English'
By KATHRYttiJVHNSON
"I come up here yesterday, but you won't
in I seen him about the story These re-
marks came from a girl who is a senior pre-
paring to teach fcigh .scboorEnglish. This
young lady is not prepared to teach in any
level of school; she should never even have
been presented a high school diploma. Any-
one who can not speak the English language
certainly should not graduate from high
school.
People are complaining that the high
school diploma has been devaluated to the
point of meaninglessness. Bernard Leibson,
principal t a high school in New York City,
recently admitted that while signing diplo-
mas he suffers great pangs of pedagogical
conscience. Although Johnny cannot read
above the tilth-grade level and Mary has
barely mastered the arithmetic fundamentals,
1 have witn the connivance of the duly con-
stituted authorities helped to perpetuate the
fiction that John and Mary have completed
the course f study with a satisfactory rec-
ord
Maybe these "murderers of the king's
English" who sound as if they're from "Low-
er Slobovia" were allowed to pass through
twelve trades without learning to write or
speak correctly because educators have-learned
that John Dowey was right, that one's per-
sonality may V injured if he is "kept back
(Or could it be that they have found it is
perhaps less injurious to all concerned to let
the dullards progress through the grades with
then contemporaries than to take a chance on
their disrupting classes of younger children?)
Studies show that high students are plain
ignorant of things grammar school students
uld hav known a generate n ago. Years of
barren discussion courses in English have
made a whole generation chronically inco-
herent in the English language. The Ad-
vanced Grammar book used on the campus
all hut approves vulgaie English. (This does
not refer merely to slang.)
It seems that if a student in high school
is very poor in English that he would be re-
quired to take remedial courses in place of
such electives as shop, cooking, safe driving,
or athletic courses, especially if he plans to
ent college. But if the elementary grades
and the high school fails to perform one of its
most important tasks then this job falls to
the . . Would it not be of more import-
le if in college future Teachers of English
equi d to learn more about their sub-
- instead of taking the compulsory educa-
tion courses in how to teach them. Anyone
who uses incorrect English should not be al-
lowed to pass any course in English, especial-
ly Voice and Diction. These students are the
people who will teach our language to a fu-
ture generation f Americans.
Schools have been criticized for not de-
veloping scientific minds or great mathema-
ticians. Few students will be future Van-
guard builders or future Einsteins; not every
student can pass chemistry or physics, but
every student is capable of. and should be
taught to speak coherent English.

Editorially
Speaking
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
Everything surely has been quiet
around here these past few days with
the "boss" gone. Our editor Jan
Raby has been at home recuperating
from a tonsillectomy.
The late James Dean's father, who
is rtally his uncle and foster father,
was in town for a few days to attend
the funeral of a relative. Folks real-
ly enjoyed hearing him talk about
his world famous son. Dumb me . . I
didn't even get excited a bitthought
he was the father of Jimmy Dean the
hillbilly singer.
Well, I finally saw B. B. (Body
Beautiful, otherwise known as Brig-
itte Bardot). The advertisement that
said, "God created woman, but the
devil created Drigitte- Bardot sure-
ly was right. Critics always aelaim
the fine art of foreign films and the
ability of foreign movie stars. Frank-
ly, any pretty girl found right around
tesre could wiggle out of her clothes
just as deftly as Miss Bardot did all
through the picture. The only thing
good about that picture ("The Light
Across the Street") was that it was
very cheap to make, the wardrobe
department especially spent little
money; no underwear or buttons re-
quired.
Have you read Lana's torrid love
letters? Boy, she must have taken a
creative writing course; they were
masterpieces. But then these Holly-
wood "husband-traders" are skilled in
so many things.
Hear Jimmy Meade will be back in
school next year. Know the swimming
team will be glad! He's been in Cali-
fornia with his family.
The critics at Carolina really cut
and slashed Margaret Starnes' per-
formance in the Playmakers' recent
production of Arther Miller's "View
from the Bridge Margaret used
to he the Queen Bee in Playhouse
productions here before she trans-
ferred to UNC.
Ronita Respess and Gene Van can
really cha cha. Ronita is a Lolli-
brigida-tyre beauty who was Miss
Creenville this year. I hear that at a
night club in Washington, D. C. every-
one cleared the dance floor to watch
them. Afterwards the band leader
asked for a repeat performance.
Quit:? a few students, including
myself have caught a rare tropical
disease for some unknown reason
tailed measles. Poor Genia Trulove
had the measles and suddenly had to
have hat appendix removed at the
same time.
Don't you think Dr. Stritch of .the
Psychology Department ought to be
an actor? Of course we're glad that
he's not, since we'd surely miss him
around.
The SGA elections have been over
quite a while, but I keep thinking
how much I missed all the hot cam-
paigning of the last year, Eddie
Dennis-Jimmy Phelps contest. Boy,
now that was a "real election
Wonder why someone in our For-
eign Language Department did not
apply to be N. Cs delegate to the
Brussel's World Fair? Any good stu-
dent who could speak French was
eligible. There are so many chances
for students to study abroad . .
Don't know why more people don't
apply for the numerous scholarships
available.
Not long ago many boys were
sporting beards which they were
sprouting -for the annual Pirate Jam-
boree at Nagshead. Either they
couldn't stand the sight of themselves
or their girl friends didn't like getting
scratched, because I've noticed that
most boys are back to their normal
clean-shaven state. Guess everybody
has about rested-up from the Aza-
lea Festival and will head on down
t Nagshead to play pirate. Those
of you who go be sure to attend the
EPO dance; it will prove, to be quite
a party!
By the way Esther said to tell you
boys to stay out of her pool! Its only
a sample.
Looking around in church Sunday
I saw so-o many soggy-looking or-
chids. They must Tiave been left over
from Easter. Speaking of church . . .
if you are a Methodist be sure to at-
tend a service in our newly remodeled
thousand seater sanctuary. It's really
beautiful. When the Methodist Stu-
dent Center is finished it'll be one
of the finest in the nation. Look at
it on your way to ie O.T.I.
A bunch of girls were discussing
wl o the best looking male was. Some-
one liked the suave debonair good
looks of Derry Walker, another the
fine features of Myron Ted, but
pomeone kept insisting that Pate
Brennan was tops.
Wonder why Dr. Pasti keeps study-
ing at the library . . . he's smart
enough already.
I never knew what athletes had to
go through until I heard some of

To the Editor:
I was very disturbed to read that
several of the major candidates were
unopposed in the recent campus elec-
tions. I realize that the ones who were
unopposed are apparently very po-
ular students and perhaps others felt
that they would have no chance of
b ing elected over such popular op-
ponents, but if fok no other reason
ihan good sportsmanship, to create
more interest, or just because it is
customary, I certainly hope someone
will I ave what it takes to run against
each candidate in the next elections.
I definitely don't mean to infer that
those who were unopposed are not
qualified individuals and would not
have been chosen over opponents. I'm
sure they are "tops" for their posi-
tion
Even though anyone had the right
and freedom to run I was still re-
minded of an article I read recently.
Moscow wa.s announcing that the free
people of the USSR were having their
democratic :lection. There wa.s only
one peculiar thing about this Each
office I ad only one candidate which
was chosen by the heads of the com-
munist party Let's exercise our right
and freedom.

To the Editor:
We, as Playhouse members, want
to publicly denounce the action taken
at last Monday night's meeting. Dan
Yanchinsin moved that the Play-
house invoke the clause in the Consti-
tution staling that the retention or
dismissal of the faculty advisor is
left to the discretion of the students.
A majority vote is necessary. There
are forty-seven members in the Play-
house, and twenty-three were present
at the meeting. Thirteen of these
voted to dismiss Dr. Withey and ten
vottd to keep him. Thirteen Ls not a
majority; therefore this action should
be declared void. It was a very under-
handed trick and dirty politics, be-
cause only certain members who
want a new advisor were aware that
the matter would lie brought up.
These members were present but a
great, number of students did "not
know and were not present. Regard-
less of the fact that this was a regu-
lar meeting, there should have been
an announcement that business of this
nature would be tnken up. The mem-
bers responsible for this, including
the ; resident of the organization, Pat
Bakes did not, even ste fit to inform
Dr. Withey.
T- ere was a great deal of contro-
versy among those present as to the
legality of the move, and when some-
one asked for a list of grievances
against Dr. Withey, Tommy Hull,
chairman of the Grievance Commit-
tee, wa.s unable to present a list of
charges other than there is dissen-
sion in the Playhouse. THIS IS
VERY TRUE! However, this dissen-
sion is caused not by Dr. Withey
but by a certain clique within the
group. These students, with their
affected accents, more talented at
off-stage acting than on, delight in
playing "Hollywood" and "New
York Being 'artists" with vast ex-
perience in the theater, they presume
to know more than a Ph.D. who haa
given tirelessly of his time and ener-
gy to dramatic efforts on this cam-
pus.
The great majority of members
sincerely regret the manner in whkh
thismatter was handled. It was high-

The Grotesqueness Of Realism
By BOB
DR. BRADNER spoke to my Ethi-
cal Theories class last Wednesday
uijjht. His lecture was excellent. No
one went to sleep. He talked on and
on. He talked about Relativism, Tele-
vision, Alfred Schweitzer, and the
Gold Coast. He talked about the He-
brews, secretaries, neurotics, tran-
quilizers and sex. And then he finally
tfof around to the Atomic Bomb. He
began to ex; lain how deadly the blast
would be if it hit our city. He said
the dust particles from the mushroom
cloud would fall on us for miles and
miles from the explosion. This wa3 too
much for the girl sitting next to me.
She began to regurgitate freely.
Then sh. fainted and slumped at her
desk Her face was white, and getting
whiter. I ran down stairs looking for
help. I checned the Math depart-
ment. I checked the AFROTC rooms.
I checked the ceramics department.
It was in this department that I found
a woman from the Physical Ed de-
partment. The woman was making
a pot. I explained the situation to her
and we went upstairs. The Physical
Ed woman pulled the sick girl out of
the d.sk and placed her on the floor
with three cories of Life raagasine
under her head and eight copies of
"U. S. Business and World Report"
under her back. Her feet were placed
in the seat of another desk. The girl
was a little off balance but I could
see an improvement in the eolor of her
HARPER
face when one of the still excited
students started fanning her with a
copy of "Time A local doctor came,
checked the girl and advised that she
be admitted to the campus infirmary.
On my way home I kept think-
ing about that Atomic blast and
dust fall-out. I began to get sick on
my somach.
As I passed the administration
building Monday I noticed that a con-
struction pary was "pile driving"
huge poles into the ground I thought
how effective this method could be
in the teaching of Science; driving
the knowledge into a students head
wih a ten ton weigir.t.
Go to the library and look at the
photographic exhibit of ANSEL AD-
AMS. Look for eastern North Caro-
lina in his subject matter. You'll find
it in some of the pictures displayed.
My wife and I attended a lunch-
eon given for Governor Hodges by
the His ovical Halifax Restoration
Association Saturday. Being at the
table next to the Governors, I had a
good chance to observe the very
gentleman-like manner in which he
handled himself. I thought how nice
it would be if all of the politicans,
amateurs and professionals, could be
as suave as our Governor Luther H.
Hodges.
A Sidewalk Plato
By S. PAT REYNOLDS
"What Strangles American Teaching?"
Check April's Atlantic Monthly and find
outas if you didn't already know
A few months ago, a friend of mine
handed me a slender book of poetry. 1 thumb-
ed through the book, later read it, later re-
read it and marked lines and sections that
I wanted to remember, that I thought of
value, that touched some part of me.
Poetry is a sad and wonderful thing. Sad
because the lines are trickles of a life that
would otherwise be unseen, sad because the
reading of the lines is like looking into the
thoughts of another. Poetry is sad but not
tearful sd nor sentimental sad. Sad because
we stumble across the realization of life, the
shrrtness of time, the awesome misunder-
standings, the truths we can never quite pen
trate.
Wonderful because we can say with Em-
erson that we ourselves have thought the
thoughts revealed in the linesperhaps in
a different way and in another time. V.
derful because the poetic voices of nature and
man and God are here brought openlv to mar-
ve! over.
Such things did I find in the moo la and
voices of that slender book given to me by
the friend. I am no criticI cannot point to
the literary value of a work and say WHY
I can only know that a few of the lines, in
eral of the poems found their ways into my
thought, into my philosophy, and into my
remembering.
That slender book was entitled CATA-
LYST and it was written by Dr. Martha
PingeJ Wolf. I never knew Dr. Pingel. never
took a course under her but I can realize
and know with others just why her leaving
will be East Carolina's loss.
Speakg of pcetrythat's always a sub-
ject that even the best of us turn our ruses
up when we hear such a thing as verse men-
tioned. I always smile in an embarrased sort
of way when some unsuspecting individual
suddenly stumbles upon the fact that I plav
around with lines. I feel like an odditv
find myself making fumbling excuses for
nuking the feeble attempt. Walt Whitman
was just the oppositemaybe that's because
the stuff he wrote was good. He said"I
celebrate myself and sing myself and what
I assume you shall assume and he meant
every word. He was a leaning and loafing
and writing fellow, that Whitman. And ego-
tisticalhe knew he had it even if the tea-
drinking set and gift-book readers didn't
take to him. In the mid-eighteen hundreds
he dared put the word sex in his poetrv. He
also lost his job. Peyton Place and From
Here to Eternity had nothing on him. The
startling thing is that his poetry is go
matter why you read it.
And to wind up on a cheering note
that I'll leave these halls of ivy and a lit
bit on the rationalizing side, Whitman tells
us that "Wisdom is not finally tested in
school, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one
having it to another not having it
'Cussin' N Discussin'
'En Garde'
By PAT FARMER
By NANCY LILLY
No, tfhis isn't one of those trite
columns designed to make you laugh
or get mad at somebody or think
foolish thoughts. In fact, if you are
in the mood for thinking foolish
thought or for not thinking at all,
you might as well journey on to the
rest of tihe paper. You'll receive no
solace here.
What is the matter with us? What,
in the name of heaven, is the matter
with you and me and all the people
like us? What is wrong? Have we
lost our sense of values, or have we
ever even had one? What is the dis-
ease that has finally come to light
through the courtesy and hard work
of those charming people called Com-
munists ?
A few words of explanation are in
order, I guess, before I scream any
more at you. Sunday night I heard
a tape recording tfhat knocked the
entire audience flat, and few of us
have recuperated since then. There is
not enough space to go into detail,
but in brief the tap recording was
the report of a qualified psychia-
trist's findings after hi interviews
with several thousand prisoners of
war who had been "brainwashed" by
the Chinese Communists. The Com-
munists have found the chink in our
armorthe chink that a few people
have been trying to tell us about for
years. The Communists worked under
the assumption that the average
American soldier had little loyalty
toward his country and his fellow
countrymen, that he was lacking the
proper moral values, that his actions
were motivated by a wish for mater-
ial reward, Chat, in other words, be
was th epitome of what we, as Amer-
ican citisens, think we're net. And
using methods suggested by those
assumptions, the Communists man-
aged to "brainwash" the majority of
their American P.O.W.s. A fact which
shocked me was a grouping system
flint the Communists had. The men
who were considered intellectuals or
radicals, who would fight the "brain-
washing" techniques and could not
be swayed by them, were separated
from the men who were considered
ripe for Communist teachings. The
amazing fact was that only one out
of twenty men was placed in ttie un-
reachable class. Nineteen out of every
twenty men were considered good
material for "brainfwashingl" And
"those men were not put through phy-
sical tortures, and the mental tor-
tures which they faced were of their
own making. Our men did not possess
the mental and moral stamina to en-
able them to fight the psychological
warfare.
Why not? Why couldnt our men
stick together.? Why couldnt they re-
member that their duty was to their
country and to each other? Why did
they think that when they became
prisoners of war their duties and
their loyalties ceased functioning?
The Communists actively control
one-third of tihe world's population.
They are advancing rapidly in tech-
nics! fields, as we are well aware.
What we do not realise is that the
ability to control men's minds is as
important, if not more so, than the
ability to control men's bodies. When
the mind is imprisoned, it follows
logically that th body is controlled
with invisible chains.
With what weapon can we fight
psychological warfare? Why isn't
our only possible weapon already in-
grained deeply enough within us to
enable us to withstand Communist
psychology? Aren't our country and
our moral code and our own dignity
important to us? Aren't the demo-
cratic theories that we are supposed
to possess worth enough to stand 19
for when the going gets rough? We
talk a "good game hat have we
even convinced ourselves? And If wo
dont actively believe in what wo pro-
fess, how ean wo hold up car
before the rest of flta woeld?
The shocking news of Cheryl Crane de-
fending her mother (Lana Turner) has reallv
made the headlines . . . Just think if Cheryl's
name was just plain Mary Brown the world
would never have known of the scandal . . .
And Lana's love letters . . . That should be a
warning to some people.
While home on the Easter Holidays, 1
happen to run into some members of a cer-
tain campus fraternity In my last column I
mentioned that the IFC could have stopped
one fraternity from doing . . . However, the
frat members that I ran into while home
pleaded guilty to a charge that I did not know
about Do all the frats have a guilty con-
science I suppose that the frat brothers
will know who passed on the information to
me because this same person told me that
this one fraternity gave a party for the under-
privileged children of Greenville out of their
own pockets . . .
It is amazing to one to hear some of the
prefs (holders of Ph. Ds) using certain
slang words before a large class . . . Seems
as though these men and women with all
their acquired knowledge would be careful
of their grammar . . .
uSg is certainly Paying "peek-a-boo"
with ECC. One day the sun is out in its best
dress and one can see the girls going from
class to class in brilliant shades of color . .
The next day one can see these same girls
going from class to class all bundled up in
ram coats and boots lugging along their
faithful umbrella . . .
See where the Lambda Chi Alpha is pre
senting "The Moon is Blue" in order to raise
funds for a "needy and worthy freshman"
entering EC in September, '68 The play
will be presented in McGinnis Auditorium on
April 30, May 1 and May 2.
Miss Aima Bizzell has had ninety azaleas
planted outside the fence of Cotten Hall and
forty planted in the sun-court . . . The money
fcr the azaleas came from the proceeds of the
coke machine in Cotten . . . Miss Bizzell
should be commended . . .
Thought that the Literary Magazine
would be out by now . . . One might suppose
that H will be published and on display at
various places around campus . eventually
A literary mgazine is a good thing .
Just hope the students realise this and sup-
port the magazine But first the students
have to see the mag . . .

narks t e first time EC has played
in Atlantic Coast Conference team
since Maliory's club beat State Col-i
lege of Ral igh by a score of 5 to 4
ast year.
Mallory will have Doug Watts, '23'
yt-ar old sophomore from Southyort,
behind the plate. In front af Watts.

A! Vaughn at second. Bucky Reep on
third. Jerry Stewart at short, Tom
Nance ;n 'eft, John Jones at the cen-
ter field spot and long ball hitting
Marion Talton in right. Talton has
been shifted to right m order to get
tiore power into the lineup.
Thus far East Carolina boasts an
overall record of 4 wins against 2
losses. After losing the opening game
of the season to Delaware, the second
test of rve season to Parris Island,
the Pirates have won 4 straight. Tom-
Land blasted a bases loaded horn
: er against the University of South
Carolina on April 9, which won the
gassa by a score of 5 to 4. Then
i George Williams blasted one with
the basts empty against the Citadel
ta win his own game by the score of
3 to 2. Upon returning home the Pi-
rate nine went to work on Western
Camiina College and took 2 games
in them last Friday and Saturday
Friday's contest. Leonard Lilly
and Bruce Shelley combined their
mound efforts to hurl a 6 to 2 win.
Nance and Martin had 2 bae knocks
apiece while on of Nance's blows
accounted for 2 RBI's. Watts, Land
and John Jones had 1 each.
Baker's 2 hitter was too much for
the Catamounts on Saturday. His
great itching feat was backed by
Talton and Jones. In the 3 to
Talton had 2 hits. Jones 2,
a double and Reep I single
Doug Watts did his usual fine job
behind the plate.
Game time for Saturday's contest
is 8 p. m. Student. will be admitted

ag from the itatasties, s orting reports and personal opinion
- my hardball prognostication for major league play
ng year Ls a pity tnat our nation's capitol cannot produce
ball club . . . and ve sometimes wonder if any team can
pennant from the New York Yankees. We all realize that if Los
and San Francisco don't produce in the next few years that they
mig: ia well move on to Honolulu it may prove interesting though
since an win the Naional League crown at the same time. If
My hnve our desire fulfilled we would have Washington
f the ellar. Boston in first place, or perhaps St. Louis in the National
League first spot . . . and we would certainly like to see Roy Campenella get
merica favorite pastime. But thr-n again tJere is someone
much higher than we will ever be who pulls the strings for him, and knows
who will win and who will lose All we can do is get behind our players,
our teams, whether the game be of the major league variety or college
level such as here a' East Carolina. To the true ball player every team
he plays on is his big league club and a true fan should feel that the team
he veils for is his big league team too.
I have been asked by a certain
gentleman to explain tennis etiquette
to some of our tennis fans. I should
consider it an honor and a necessity
due to a recent incident I witnessed.
Last week I was horrified when I
approached the tennis courts. The
few fans hanging on the fences were
making o much noise that I fait that
I must have crossed my connections
and was headed for a baseball game
instead. But as I neared my destina-
tion, I noticed that the men were
wearing white shor s instead of bag-
gy greys and were sporting weapons
made partially of string instead of
lugging baseball bats. Since this
meant that I hadn't lost my sense
of direction I felt a little relieved, but
I still couldn't understand what all
the "racket" was about. Then I un-
derstood; these newcomers to the ten-
nis world just didn't know exactly
how to conduct themselves while
watching a tennis match. Pity? Well,
I'll just have to pass along a little
information to these poor souls and
give them the scoop.
Firstly, tennis is a gentleman's
game. Instead of "cussin" out the
umpire when you lose a point, the
loser will probably say "nice shot,
Bill Now as spectators you should
act accordingly. Instead of yelling
and screaming, try clapping your
little hands as a token of your ap-
preciation. Have you ever tried to
study for a science test with 16 peo-
ple yelling at you? Well, in playing
tennis it takes the same kind of con-
centration because winning a tennis
match depends on only one or two
people. Winning s tennis match re-
quires a combination of skill, stra-
t gy, concentration and power.
I'm sure that the team enjoys and
wants your support, but do try to
control your emotions. I'm not trying
to be sarcastic, because I realise that
you are not filled in on all the tennis
rules. In fact, the pirates would prob-
ably feel slighted if no one showed
up to watch them in action.
Just remember, at a tennis match,
use your hands instead of your voices.

"This is Radio Station WWWS,
owned and operated by East Carolina
College in Greenville, N. C On Wed-
nesday, A; HI 17, 1957. these words
weto announced for the first time
that BOC had a voice of its own. This
was tl e beginning of a new kind of
1 arning, a new school of thought
for the 8 udent body, for now "their
college could educate, inform, and
entertain many miles of listeners in
l matter of seconds. The seconds of
broadcasting took preparation, how-
ev. r. for there was more to it than
merely flipping a switch and speak-
ing into a microphone. Program logs,
tapes, i romotlon sheets, and records
weie needed; FCC and school regula-
tions must be considered; adequate
training and proficient personel must
be sought. All this and more had to
be obtained to enable the voice to
speak with (larity and stability.
The start was slow, but promising.
Broadcasting took place only three
hours a day for the first month or so,
but .summer school gave the wheel
another turn. Such capable volunteers
as Calvin Chesson, Gene Lusk, Tur-
ner Manning, Freddie James, and
others established themselves as Bports
announcers, news commentators, and
disk jockeys. The SGA saw the value
of campus radio, contributed $716 in
records to the practically empty rec-
ord library, and installed an FM ra-
dio in the school cafeteria for the
benefit of the students.
Time progressed, summer was over
and the radio staff continued to grow.
Officers were elected, a constitution
was adopted, and a regularly sche-
duled broadcast day materialized. The
voice now spoke from seven o'clock in
be morning until nine-thirty at night,
end operation became more consist-
ent,
By winter quarter of 1957, the staff
numbered forty-four, and the variety
of i rogrami increased. Network
broadcasts were carried over WGTC
and WHED. Timing was now essen-
tial, the work more, professional;
only one thing remained unaltered
behind t:e voice: the job was still a
thankless one that paid off in experi-
nee only. But, with competent facul-
v members like Rosalind Roulston
and Wemlel L. Smiley who more than
willingly aeeept the often thankless
jobs, and ambitious students like
b ne Lusk, Frank Hancock, and Clark
Taylor, who eeek organization and
M'tiey. the voice has grown
st ronger.
Many students have asked about
campus radio's listening audience:
how big? bow far? how often? Sur-
prisingly enough, the listening au-
dience hs grown parallel with cam-
pus radio. Mail has been received
from up to 60 miles away, from Kin-
ston, Washington, Ayden, Maury,
Snow Hill, and Grimesland. The per-
centage af student listeners is high,
and would be higher were it not for
the lack of FM receiver sets on cam-
pus. This problem has been defeated
now, however, with the help of Pi
Kappa Alpha Fraternity and Law-
rence Behr, campus radio engineer.
The much discussed "carrier current"
system winch will enable all radios
in the dormitories to receive WWWS,
is almoat completed, and will be in-
stalled this spring.
