Cost for charter membership in this official organization of the college athletic department is $15, and this fee includes reserved seats to the five 1953 home football games. The club is not a charity organization, for each member will re- ceive his money’s worth. When a group of citizens starts a drive like the one now on, we know that they are interested in the college. Firms which have become members of the Pirates club will be displaying wall cards or stickers on their automobiles. We feel that it would be a good gesture for the students on cam- pue to drop by these firms and express their appreciation for the backing being given to the college. We know that these people are behind us.

Couple Of The Week At the beginning of the year, many students noticed the new drummer in the ECC band, for he possessed a style that was quite different from anything ECC had ever seen, and the students liked it. This ngw drum- mer, as probably some of you know, is Gene Ward from Edenton, Ni&., who is a business major, not a music major. Gene hag been going with Julia Ward, from Winston-Salem, who hap- pens to be a music major, since Oc- tober of last year. Julia and Gene live about 250 miles apart, but that isn’t going to stop them from seeing each other this summer. “Besides,” Julia said, “does- n’t absence make the heart grow fonder?” (Editor’ note: By being named “Couple of the Week,” Julia and Gene will each be given a carton of Ches- terfields, a free pass to the Pitt theatre, a free meal at the Olde Towne Inn and an item from Sas- low’s jewelers.) Who's Who At East Carolina —— this week’s Who’s Forrest Haire. To those readers who don’t seem to recall the name it’s probably be- cause they have always known him as “Sig”. Sig’s home town is Elizabethtown, which helps explain why he spends much of his summer vacation at White Lake. This summer he has a job issuing boat licenses there at the lake until he has to change jobs. When we asked him what this other job was he said, “A man in Washington wants me to work for him; so I guess I will.” We discover- ed who this man was, Uncle Sam. Sig believes that he will be drafted into the army sometime during the summer months. serving in the armed forces, he said that he was looking forward to returning to East Carolina to receive his Masters. Sig, a senior, plans to graduate May 18 of this year with a BS degree. His major is social studies and ‘his minor English. This of course brings to mind the subject of practice teaching. He did his student teaching last winter quarter at Greenville high school. His classes were a tenth grade world history class and an eleventh grade American history class. “I really enjoyed teaching these few months; in fact I believe that is what made me really decide to teach when I get out of the service,” “IT had a good time, but believe me there is a lot of work to do. Also there is a lot to learn, for I learned history during that quarter from working with the than Chosen for Who” is Hal he said. more students quarter.” We asked Sig if there amusing any preceding were any incidents happened in his classroom, to which he asked the question, “Do the students at Greenville high school read tht East Carolinian.” When we said that they did, ht said, “Well, er——eh by Phyllis Carpenter After Hai “Sig” Haire - no, don’t guesg so!” Campus Activities Sig is quite in the extra curricular activities oa campus. Some active of these have been: a member of the YDC for four years (Executive com- mittee junior year; president of elub senior year); a member of the Inter- national Relations club for four years; chairman of the invitation committee senior year; vice president of men’s day students club as a freshman; a member of the Cirele K senior year; and “Who’s Who Among Studeats In Aw if T onor of being chosen for “Who's Who” was quite a surprise to Sig.

The enrollment for that year wa. 7, and Miss Ross comments: “I have watched the college grow from an enrollment of about 200 to over 2,000. I have worked with the smaller enrollment longer and I prefer it not to get too big as there is a dan- ger of losing the personal touch.” Sees College Grow The graduating class since she has been here has grown from fewer than a dozen in 1911 to over 300 of last year. “Iam sure that I have sent more than 10,000 records of students to the State department,” she com- mented.

With six gameg left to play in the ‘ family feuds the Pirates have ample room to re-arrange the furniture and set up thei own housekeeping as head of the Noth State household. The 17-2 massacre of Corning, Class D professional team, gave evi- dence of the texture of the pressing Pirates whose mechanism is begin- ning to sail smoothly. The most Jaud- able navigators of the Pirates’ splurge are, namely: Gaither Cline, Charlie Cherry, Ceci] Heath, Wilbur Thompson and W. S.

With all the rough spots about ironed out now the Buccaneers should have a steady course if they get by Elon on May 138. An incident that caused a bit of activity occurred during the recent Wake Forest match. With the Pirates leading 4-2, Coach Porter forfeited Amos Stroud’s match and later dis- persed him from the team. Reason: Porter accused Stroud of foot faults. Our sentiments on the matter: Foot faults seem like hazy reasons for dispelling a member from the squad, but first hand reports we understand that differences of opin- ion prevailed between player and coach, consequently we cannot speak with authority on the matter. from “Tee” for golf and “T” for tops is a fitting statement concerning East Carolina’s golfers. Their status, enough, is aloft the struggle for supremacy on the fairways. Pocketing five wins without a blemish, the golfing Pirates have practically sewed the lace on the championship. The Buccaneer Country clubbers answer to this roll-call: Claude King, Bernie Ham, Dave Martin, Moult Robert Braun and Harry Rainey. The current aggregation is one of the winningest in East Caro- lina’s driving and potting history. Our congratulations to an excellent golf squad. Guilford Here Today After playing host to the Guilford Quakers this afternoon, the East Carolina Pirates finish up their 1953 baseball season within the next two weeks. The Quakers, with whom the Bues have split a pair of games, return to ECC next Wednesday to end their series. May 8 and 9 the Bucs travel to Elon to seek revenge for their only two loop setbacks. The Christians have been victorious twice over the Boone-men, 8-2 and 4-0. Winding up the campaign, the Pirates meet arch-rival Atlantic Christian in Greenville on May 18.
