In commenting on the S.6.A Urs.
Speight said, "I hope that the S.G.A.
will be maVe closely allied with the
students and that more women will
take an active interest in 8.G.A. ac-
tivities. I feel that the Senate should
think seriously about the N.S.A be-
cause in the main the campus can
lettainly benefit by the affiliation
Concerning the more recently or-
ganised groups on campus. Mrs.
Speight commented, "I think the
Dean's Advisory Council and the
East Carolina Development Council
are good organisations, especially if
they will coutinue to ha active. I
feel that sororities can and will be
a definite asset to the social and
political life of the campus
In looking back over the past four
years, Mrs. Speight noted several
occurrences which she considered her
outstanding memories: "Mike Retai-
ns, one of the best natural leaders I
have ever known; the establishment
of sororities; later hours for worn
en; the beer debate; the State Stu
dent Legislature meeting thst was
"snowed out" after the delegation
went all the way to Raleigh; the
train trip by East Carolina sup-
porters and the band to Portsmouth,
Virginia; and the establishment of

Discontentment Spreads
Among The Chinese People
By JAMES If. CORBETT
The Communist Party in Red China to-
day finds itself in one of the most trying
periods it has experienced since gaining con-
trol of that thickly populated country. Failure
to "liberate" Formosa, a cooling of relations
with India over Tibet and the brutal methods
used in suppressing the Tibetan revolts have
all added fuel to the fire of discontent spread-
ing among the Chinese people and there fel-
low Asians. All these have contributed to the
unrest, but perhaps the most outstanding
factor of all has been the communes.
In a country where the entire life of its
people is centned around their family, the
Red regime has broken these bonds. In an at-
mpt to pool manpower in its "great leap
forward" families have been separated and
numbers relocated in separate communes.
In many cases, husband and wife were
unable to contact each other for weeks al the
time. Children were taken from their parents
and placed in school or jobs in locations that
made a reunion with their parents almost im-
possible. Babies were placed in state owned
nurseries which often meant permanent se-
paration from parents.
At first the system seemed to be working
as production of goods grew by leaps and
bounds. Mines were being worked 24 hours
per day. Workers slept in barracks style con-
structions with little rest and no recreation.
Factories ran continually under the watchful
eyes of Red Officials.
Slowly, however, the tide began to turn
where production figures were once on a con-
tinual climb, they leveled off temporarily and
then began to decline. Morale among workers
had been shattered and the results were being
reflected by the efforts they put forth. The
Communes had taken their toll.
Conscious of the fallacy of their system,
the Communist leaders began to backtrack.
Though still claiming the experiment a suc-
cess and the backtrack a reward for the peoples
efforts. Red officials are fully aware of the
furor the plan has caused. Whether recogni-
D of the dangef came to late or not is a
question that only time will answer. The West
of course hopes it did. Chances are good, how-
ever, that any discontent will be quelled by
the overpowering force the communist regime
has at its disposal.

By KATHRYN JOHNSON
This year has flown by and with
the publication of this issue, the
term seems almost over for the
EAST CAROLINIAN staff. We'll
remember the year 1958-59 as the
year when:
East Carolina could boast of an-
other Miss North Carolina, Betty
Lane Evans of Greenville. (Miss
Evans is a music major as was
E.C.Cs Miss North Carolina of two
years ago, Joan Melton.)
E.C.C. co-ed and Playhouse star
Alice Ann Home was chosen Miss
CreeRville.
The McDaniel sisters, Carole and
Jimi. kept the Homecoming Queen
crown in the family, although un-
fortunate circumstances almost
cruised Queen Jimi to lose hers.
Kappa Sigma Nu Fraternity copped
the prize for the best Homecoming
float for the second consecutive year.
As five national social fraternities
stood strong and proud, sororities
were established on a firm founda-
"Old Yellow" was raided and
many students had a mid-term va-
cation.
For the first time in many moons
several mass meetings were con-
ducted.
The "Kissing Controversy" made
the news in many state papers.
With the NSA Carolina-Virginiaa
Regional meeting on this campus,
students became concerned with the
intellettual climate oft campus.
Pulitzar Prize winner Peter Vie-
reck and many other noted speakers
appeared on campus sponsored by
the Danforth Foundation Project.
Under the direction of SGA Presi-
dent Mike Katsias, the student gov-
ernment program was expanded and
became more active.
Outstanding Playhouse stars Bubba
Driver and Leigh Dobson entertained
the students in many varied roles.
As Porter's efigy hung from a
tree. Coach Earl Smith was appointed
new basketball coach.
Fred Ragan and Stan Harper
raised fuss about the elections pro-
cedures in Wright Precinct. Elec-
tions procedures began to improve
steadily.
Some students thought the in-
firm ry was not doing the job as it
should; the SGA looked into the
matter and found that they were.
Throughout the year freshmen
struggled through experimental
classes on closed-circuit television.
E.C.C. dropped out of the largest
organization of students in the world
when the senate voted to come out
of NSA.
For the first time E.C.C. had Ne-
gro entertainment when the Cava-
liers appeared on campus for an
I.F.C. benefit dance.
For the second time in three years,
the E.C.C. swimming team won the
NAIA Swimming Championship.
Judy Hearne was chosen Southern
Conference Theta Chi Dream Girl.
Someone with "a definite accent"
called to say there was a bomb in
Austin Building. Classes stopped,
and Officials searched, but the bomb
was never found.
For the first time since the elec-
tion of Don Umstead, tbe veterans
organized and got their man elected
to the post of SGA president.
And so another school year comes
to a close. With one year of experi-
ence behind us, we hope to give this
campus a bigger and better news-
paper with more complete and accu-
rate coverage next year.

All's Well That Ends Well'
Accomplished Cast Performs Effectively
In The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
During the intermission the FIRST
night, as I sat there mumbling that
this was a hideous comedy of errors
even though the program said
ROMEO AND JULIET on it, the edi-
tor invited me to write a few words
on this production for her hebdoma-
dal. Vain fool that I am, I said I
would. The following morning I re-
pented me, of course, and saw that
at best a reviews of THAT perform-
ance, at least would indeed be much
about nothing. Surely the tempest of
outraged sensibilities would swirl
about my head. Forsooth, I'd get
measure for measure; and being
frank, I feared the worst.
"Nothing could be THAT bad on
the second night (and this is not to
mention the twelfth night!) I said.
Therefore, Shakespeare idolator and
Playhouse buff that I am, like a pas-
sionate pilgrim I made my way back
to the Flanagan Sylvan Theatre for
the second performance. This time
there was no love's labors lost; you
might even say that it was "as you
like it
Mr. Laube was a befuddled Romeo;
perhaps in too many instances he
spoke his lines, both witty ones and
tender ones, as if they might as well
have been written in Bantu as in
English. That he did the part well as
he did is to the credit of a gentle-
man and a scholar who evidently has
had little acting experience.
By DR. FRANK HOSKINS
Mrs. Garren's Juliet was sensitive
and intelligent; therefore it was be-
lievable. Was her reading a trifle
too intense? I have always felt that
ol' Jule had the ability to laugh at
herself. Moreover, why wasn't Juliet
en deshabille during the dialogue that
followed hard upon the consumation
of the marriage? As it was, it look-
ed as though Romeo were a mere
family friend come to say goodbye.
Mr. Driver was, as usual, in com-
plete command. It's a pleasure to
watch someone do something superb-
ly, isn't it? He, as Mercutio, and Mr.
Heller, as Benvolio, understood
Shakespeare's intentions and acquitt-
ed themselves most satisfactorily.
Professor Rowe was funny and
believable. Could he have worked just
a trifle too hard at being Capulet?
Mr. Craven was, as usual, excellent
in the role of an old man in the
part of Montague.
Professor Chauncey did what she
could with a role that simply was not
written for her. I believe Shakespeare
meant for Angelica to be an ample-
bosomed, large-hipped, generous-der-
riered Earth Goddess type.
Miss Dixon was quite satisfactory
as Lady Capulet. I am glad that she
consented to make-up the second time.
Of the rest, Bob Johnson, as Paris;
Professor Withey, as Prince Escalus;
Mr. Worrell, as Tybalt; and Mr.
West, as Peter, deserve special men-
tion. It was my impression that the
cast was in general an exceptionally
accomplished one.
The ballroom scene was well-
staged; the dance figures arranged
by Mrs. Laube, were a pleasure to
watch. This scene added immeasur-
ably to the tone of the production.
It needed, however, more vandles for
emphasis of the LIGHT and DARK
imagery of the poetry.
One scene followed hard upon
another in fine fashion, and the cen-
ter of attention moved from left to
right to center with a pleasing change
of pace. While the illumination was
adequate, I feel that lighting could
have been employed artistically more
effectively for creation of mood and
so forth.
Seeing how successful were Friar
Laurence's scenes, in which there was
no "tech" to speak of, one wonders
why some of Juliet's scenes could
not have played more effectively,
and believably, on the stage rather
than on the balcony under the stars?
I have recovered from the trauma
caused by the first night and shall
not soon forget the pleasure I found
at the second performance. Congra-
tulations to everyone who shared in
the production. You can be proud in-
deed! As old Shakespeare himself
might have said (in fact he did say
it), "All's well that ends well

East Carolina College is a co-educational college

In the article by Bob Johnson in
last week's EAST CAROLINIAN in-
titled Organizations Prefer Freedom,
the following errors were printed:
Error"At least two organizations
are asking the SGA to cut them
free
CorrectionNo organization has
asked the SGA to cut them free.
ErrorEach student in his four
years pays $528.00 in activity fees
to support the SGA we could save
this amount.
CorrectionEach student pays
$132.00 in activity fees to support
all the entertainment programs on
campus Including the Playhouse, The
EAST CAROLINIAN, The BUCCA-
NEER, YMCA, YWCA, College
Union, Campus Radio, Productions
Committee (Kiss Me Kate), Identi-
fication Card System, Handbook,
Cheerleaders, Opera Theatre, The
Rebel, and many more. Getting rid of
the SGA would not save any of this
money but would just mean that the
students would no longer have the
right and privilege of deciding
through their committies, how the
activity fee would be spent.
ErrorCharlie Dyson threatened
the EAST CAROLINIAN with re-
moving all their funds if they didn't
print his spite sheet.
CorrectionThere is no officer in
the SGA with the power to do inch
a thing even if he so desired.
Another year practically gone and
students are vigorously stashing
clothes and memories into suitcases
and battered boxes. Thoughts con-
cerning beach trips and lazy times
are, innermost in their minds. For-
gotten are the unusual E.C.C. hap-
penings which have made our col-
lege an enjoyable as well as an edu-
cational institution.
What has occurred this year worth
remembering? Well, let's look back.
There's the athletic program. In
basketball and football we managed
to end the season with an excellent
record. Considering the number of
supporters who spent their precious
time and energy clapping at the
games, this was indeed a feat for
the players.
Then along came the shirtless
boys who won the national collegiate
swimming title. The students were
so happy about this accomplishment
that nobody showed to witness the
team receiving the winning trophy.
In our summer sports, tennis, golf,
track, and baseball, the heroes have
also performed before a practically
empty house. Oh well, at least the
letter-men are proud of themselves.
The BUCCANEER staff composed
of approximately ninety of EC's
"gung-ho' workers crowded their
wits together and produced a 400
page annual. Many hoars were spent
preparing this memory book, io that
By PAT HARVEY
the students could flip through this
precious book in twenty minutes,
then voice their unfavorable com-
ments concerning its contents. But
one can mark this down in his note-
book as nothing but human nature.
So . . .
"Death of A Salesman" was given
this year and according to some very
reliable sources, it was considered
to be one of the most professional
plays ever presented here.
The playhouse gave several plays
this year, some good, some fair.
Several experienced actors are leav-
ing to pursue their dreams as a ca-
reer. Which brings to mind that the
playhouse is losing several of its
members and the percentage gained
this year is not enough to equal its
loss. There are many people who
would enjoy theatre work, but use
the practical excuse that "we dont
have the time Unfortunately, they
do not realise that the experience is
valuable.
The biggest deal that went through
was the establishment of sororities,
which really hit campus with a bang.
Eight sororities have popped up and
have done everything from selling
sandwiches to painting benches. So-
rorities have made their bid and are
expected to be an even more im-
portant part of our campus life next
year.
Have we ever stopped to realise
that out of a college of nearly 4000
students, only about 200 are inter-
ested enough in their college to work
for it. College is not just a place to
attend class through the week and
dash home for the weekend. College
can be fun, as well as educational.
Predictions
"Next year things will. be differ-
ent" is one of the most trite lines
in our college lingo. Predictions come
and go each year; some hit, some
miss. Nevertheless, it's fun to try.
Predictions for '6960:
(1) Wells will shock the frat men
and head an excellent SGA.
(2) Another issue concerning ber-
muda shorts will hit the papers, but
again will be vetoed.
(3) The next campus check will
catch more seniors than freshmen.
(4) The REBEL will be bigger and
better, because the staff will be big-
ger - and better.
(5) Next year's musical comedy
will have a more experienced east.
(6) Students will accept "Hue as
a mascot, rather than a waster-of-
money.
(7) Bubba Driver will be missed la
the Playhouse.
(8) Sororities will double in mem-
bership, but will not go national.
(9) EC enrollment will increase by
about 400 students.
(10) Rainy days will increase also.
This is the time of the school year when
I've just about run out of everythingciga-
rettes, money, patience, motivation, (for
studying, that is,) and ideas for a column.
For the past year, I have assumed the
form of a columnist; that is, I have, for nine
months, shed my academic armor periodically,
and entered the EAST CAROLINIAN office
to sit at my typewriter and pound my thought-
into little black letters for publication in thi
corner of the paper.
Now, with my last fingernail chewed
back to the knuckle, with my ash tray running
over with exhausted Camels, and with my
thoughts that are as well organized as a Cuh
Scout pack at a panty-raid, I confess that I
am mentally bankrupt.
At this time of year, all I can do is re-
mininsce. It doesn't seem to have been eight
months since we waded through scotch tape.
crepe paper, chicken wire, beer cans, and paper
mache' to watch our Homecoming floats tak
sundry shapes in the dusty Greenville tobacco
warehouses.
The cold midnight blue and the warm red
tinsel of Christmasthe snow that speckled
our btir and shoulders and covered the ground
and bowed the evergreensthe gnarled shrubs
and the empty trees were a spiny brown and
grey forever and a winter, until they changed
overnight into their respective summer stand-
ards.
Spring came and made us sleepy and
thirsty and now we want sun and sea and
short-sleeved shirts. Now we want to throw
our books and pencils in the Tar River and
find the new friends we've made this year
and the old friends we've knownfind them
and talk and listen, laugh and speculate.
We talk and we remember the year's best
momentsthe best laughs we had, the fears,
the moments we shared that showed us how
our lives are best livedthe times we realized
we had real friends and would have them for
life.
We will say good-bye to people and things
we have grown to like, admire, and respect as
this year closes. People like Capt. George Pat-
terson we will miss because of the respect he
commanded, the character he displayed, and
the friendliness he offered. Things like the
Bream Girl Ball will not be forgotten.
So wrap up another year and put it on
the shelf. Pack your foot-lockers, coil your
lamp and radio cords neatly, take your pin-
ups down, and take a trip.

His fame was not a one night per-1

game of tl I and was headed
All-Conference laurels in his
senior year of play.
In leading East Carolina to a 8-4
Perry was one of the top
era in the conference, scamper-
ing for nine touchdowns and 54
points. Bobby was also the dabs'
top ground gainer as he picked up a
net total of 177 yards on the ground
and averaged close to five yards per
try.
Perry was an all-around player as

He was named to the All-Confer-
team and was chosen by his

re oived at the annual football ban-
Nick Has Troubles
Nick Nichols was our choice because
of his tremendous play on the hard-
wood court. The lanky blond who
calls Leaksville, N. C, home, was a
starter for four years at East Carol-
ina.
Nick played in the shadow of Roy
; as a prep star but came into
his own in a Pirate uniform. He
averaged in double figures each of
the four years as a regular despite
e fact that he was bothered with
a shoulder injury for part of this
time.
T e lanky catrer had serious
trouble with his shoulder after reap-
1Tournament honors in 1957
is junior season. At the start of
following season. Nick was still
having trouble with his shoulder and
was forced to drop off the squad
for the season to undergo an opera-
tion on his shoulder.
Vter sitting out a year, Nick came
back this season to finish up his
ardwood career. He won his starting
1 erth back and with it the job as
1 aptain of the 1058-59 club.
The "Blond Bomber" was noted as
one of the top defensive men in the
and although slow finding his
ting eye. Nick finished the sea-
n strong and had lifted his aver-
to better than thirteen points
ei game by the end of the season.
At the end of the season, Nick
was named to the All-Conference
lub and was also selected to play
ith the North State All-Stars which
lefeated the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence All-Stars.
Service will be the next stop for
the friendly athlete but his name
will remain as one of East Caro-
lina's top basketball performers.
Curry Continues Fame
It is hard to name any sport that
Ji el Curry doesn't excel at for he i
is one of the finest all-around at -
letes to ever enter Bast Carolina '
i
and his achievements here
will probably stand for some time.
Jess was a famed athlete at Wood-
row Wilson high in Portsmouth in
football, basketball, baseball and any
other port that you could name.
.less had played it and played it with
eptional ability.
lli first college stop-off was the
U. of Kei I ucky and lie played
basketball with the freshman club.
Service was bis next stop before
coming to East Carolina College.
Curry was proclaimed as one of
the greatest athletes to hit the cam-
pus and although many frowned,
I Jesse was soon to prove his worth.
He earned starting slot on the bas-
ketball club his first year and went
on to cop All-Conference and All-
XAIA laurels. He led the team in
scoring with better than a 10 point
average.
n the track field. Curry has been
ECCs individual star as he can par-
ate in most events on the pro-
gram, liis specialty is the low and
high hurdles which he recently won
in the North State Conference Meet.
He has been ECCs leading point-
getter for the past two seasons on
the track scene and led them to the
tit'e in 1958
.less has also been active in the
intramural program at the college
and was the top softball pitcher in
'1 this past quarter as his club
copped top honors in the loop.
Coaching and teaching constitute
the future plans for the Portsmouth
native and with his background and
exceptional skill, he should be a
huge success.
Baker Is Ace
Pen Baker is the boy which has
carried much of Coach Jim Mallory's
dtching load for the past four sea-
sons. The southpaw has shied away
from pro contracts to continue his
education and in doing so has been
around to provide East Carolina with
outstanding basketball.
Maker came to ECC from a little
town Zebulon but with a strong
desire to pitch college baseball. He
hid little chance during the early
part of his freshmen season but got
his chances in the latter part of the
campaign and made good to send
ECC on a final stretch winning
peak which resulted in the North
. tate Crown.
following two seasons, Ben
Ma y's number one choice and
his sophomore year was another good
i lie in the won-lost column but his
j inior year saw him drop below the
nark for the first time. But his
w n lost record didn't indicate his
i alihre of pitching. He was chosen
to go against the strongest teams
' e Pirate schedule and it was a
i! when hitting was lacking in
I " Pirate Den.
Following a successful summer of
pitching semi-pro ball, Baker was set
for another good year but a knee
injury while student teaching dur-
ing the winter quarter slowed him
iown. He was forced to sit out the
first part of this season.
The determined southpaw got back
into action just as the Hues were
set to make their first tour against
:onference competition. ECC was
stumbling along with a 2-3 record but
the return of Baker was a shot in
the arm for the club. With Baker
back to aitl a couple of freshmen on
what has been termed the strongest
staff in the loop, ECC immediately
set sail with a win streak which has
reached eleven straight and has
virtually assured ECC of the base-
ball title.
One of his top feats was a recent
1-0 shutout win over Catawba. The
victory gave Baker a 4-0 record for
the season and it was very likely that
he would record another undefeated
mark.
Ben plans to continue his base-
' all this summer by playing semi-pro
hall in South Dakota. His future in
the diamond sport looks like a good
one.
Sawyer Has Two Crowns
Although Bob Sawyer is a busi-
ness major, the talented Greensboro
swimmer lives for the water sport
and the future may find him in the
coaching field.
A backstroker, Bob can boast 35
victories in college competition while
only nine defeats marr his record
and most of these came to All-Ameri-
cans. His efforts have led ECC to
two NAIA championships and he
has won the backstroke title the
si me number of years.
Bob's senior year was also marred
with the "injury jinx" but he made
a great comeback to record his best
times in his competitive swimming
