What Next In The East?
Even before, but especially since the Korean

Although facing the Southeast Asia Treaty

vill the Communists pursue?
Will Formosa be the next place? Formosa is
pr ted by the SEATO, but the 7th Fleet
has orders to protect it and also the lesser islands.
On Quemoy, which is a lesser island, two Ameri-
n observers have already lost their lives. Que-
moy is 120 miles across the Formosa straits.
Amoy, an island dominated by the Reds, is
only seven miles away in which a Red build-up
has been taking place. On September 7th, the
onalist Chinese attacked this island to stop
this build-up. Will the Reds try to take Formosa
now? Will they run over the 7th Fleet in order
tc do so?
If this happens it will most surely mean war.
We stayed out of the Indo-China war. Let’s hope
we can stay out of Formosa, but be ready to de-
fend it if the time comes. BRH.
Campus Improvements
East Carolina College is rapidly improving.
As one moves about the campus he is sure to
notice the many improvements. One of the most
readily noticed is the new Student Union which
is located in the basement of Wright building.
The Student Union consists of the soda shop, TV
lounge, ping pong room, and the book store. The
lounge is very spacious and is modernly arranged.
Students are able to gather here whether it be
with a gang or with their date for a most en-
joyable time. Another noticeable characteristic
is that it is soundproof.
The new library certainly deserves men-
tion. Although it was in use during the summer
many students have not had the pleasure of
using it. Aisde from the material changes one is
sure to notice the quietness that is now observed
in the library.
Throughout the various dormitories and
classroom buildings new water fountains have
been installed.
The William B. Umstead dormitory is now
under construction. This boy’s dormitory will be
located on tenth street.
All in all the students, faculty and per-
sonel of East Carolina have much to be happy
about. J. 8.
Editorial Comment
by Faye B. O’Neal
Another new year begins and every-
one is about to get adjusted to the
changes and feel ready to get down
to business. The staff of the “East
Carolinian” is enthusiastic about this
first issue and our readers may rest
assured that we will continue to be
enthusiastic about each issue through-
out the whole year.
Since both publications, the news-
and the annual, have women
editor’s there is a challenge to meet.
We to prove that. this isn’t
exclusively a “man’s world.’’
pape
have
The editor of a Pennsylvania college
newspaper, in speaking to a group of
his fellow would-be journalists last
Spring at the ASCP Convention at
Columbia University, said that an edi-
torisl can be of four types: praise,
gripe, on special occasions, or a fac-
tual review followed by an opinion.
In writing the editorials for the “East
Carolinian,” the Editorial Board will
probably conform to this outline.
Let it be said that if we are ever
wrong in our stand, we will retract
when we're proven wrong. We do feel
at it is our job to take a stand on
major issues and intend to do just
that. No personal offense will be tak-
en on our part however if the reader
who disagrees with us will let us know
how he feels.
While we are on the subject of
reader opinion, we will mention that
letters to the editor are weleomed
and will be printed as long and as
soon as space permits if they are
signed by their writers. If you want
to write a letter to the editor without
having your name appear in the
paper, that will be just as acceptable
if the editor knows who wrote the
letter,
Wedding bells rung for quite a few
East Carolina graduates and students
during the summer. To mention a few,
Kay Johnston, a member of our staff
for the last two years, became Mrs.
Gene Spruill and transferred to ACC

married in Elizabeth City on Sep-
tember 5. Both graduated last Spring
and Major is now in the Air Force.

tember 5 also.
The draft caught up with several
of our students and seared several
more into enlisting. Norman Lee Ed-
on of Kenly, isn’t back because of
ce draft. Jim Fish, who was a rising
or and active in quite a few extra-
curricular activities, didm’t wait for
the draft to catch him. Algie Fair-
cloth, who went into service last year,
is in Germany now. Floyd Rhodes is
down in Georgia for basic training.
so
ju
freshmen have asked us
whether they could expect to be ini-
tiated by the sophomores. The answer
s no, unless there is some change
over previous years. Some clubs and
fraternities have initiation stunts but
there is no campus-wide initiation for
new students. Might be fun if such
could be arranged, don’t you think?
Lots of
Surprising as it sounds, a very large
number of high school and college
graduates have never been born, ac-
cording to statistics. At least, their
birth has never been confirmed by
issuance of a birth certificate. This
problem was created when most babies
were orm at home and neither parents
nor attending physician or midwife
took the trowble to report the births.
The situation resulting can be the
cause of much embarrassment and
even a financial handicap. To get
almost any job one needs a birth
certificate. To get a physical examina-
tion and prior to an acceptable health
certificate, a birth record is a pre-
requisite. If you don’t have your birth
certificate, better contact your county
officer in charge or you might turn
out to be non-existent..
Tips on entertainment: The movie,
“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,”
which was playing in Greenville when
school opened, was tops for laughs
and the humor was good and clean.
A more serious theme and a heart-
twisting series of events were seen
in another recent film, “Magnificent
Obsession,” in which Jane Wyman
made a come-back into popularity.
For reading, September’s Redbook
has a good article on Jon Lindbergh,
the son of Charles Lindbergh. The
story tells how Jon made a name for
himself without relying on his father’s
fame. A novel soon to be published by
David McKay Company which appeals
to soft-hearted women readers (and
sympathetic men) ig “Harvest of the
Heart” by a California author, May
Mellinger. The story here is about the
odd member of a back street family
who made good and found herself a
place of respect and happiness. The
family was originally from the Okle-
homa hills, but there is only a slight
tinge of the “Grapes of Wrath” kind
of atmosphere, ‘

Dear Fellow Students:
As college reopens, we are faced
with two very definite problems—one
being the traffic situation on our
campus. I feel that the student body
has been more than co-operative in
kceping on-campus parking toa min-
imum. This has helped a great deal,
anc I hope will continue. I wish to
ask those of you who live on campus
to drive as little as possible. Keeping
your cars parked at, or near your
allows for
those who must commute. Those of
you living in town who must drive

to the campus can help by
on the adjoining streets.
The second problem is that of care
of our new Student Union. We are
proud that East Carolina College may
boast one of North Carolina’s finest!
Plans for future expansions and ad-
ditions depené upon our actions. We
must show that we are proud of what
we have. The steps taken by each of

most valuable. If each of us can feel

done!

What Did You
by Joyce Norris 1
“What did you do this summer?”
seems to be a popular question
around the campus these days when
everyone had just returned from three
months of care-free vacation. From
the many suntans I’ve seen, it looks
as though the majority of the college
folks spent a lot of time on the beach.
Her what a few of the other stu-
dents did to pass away the time this
summer,
David Evang worked for the Ford
Motor Company this summer. He also
was in the Marine Corps for five days.
Emily Knox worked at Belk-Beery’s
in Wilmington this summer.
Someone said that J. C. Thomas
bought a car this summer. I guess
that kept you busy, didn’t it, J. C.?
Don Harris and Linwood Cox meas-
ured tobacco acreage this summer.
Waverly Akins worked around Fu-
quay-Varina this summer. What did
you do over there, Waverly?
Jackie Boado said that~she went
to the beach and watched TV while
her brother, Emo, attended summer
school. <
Claude King tried to make a name
for himself in the baseball world this
summer. Looks as though he did a
good job, too.
Bill Hardee worked for the Coca-
Cola company. The pause that re-
freshes must have agreed with him.
Barbara Speight helped at a play-
ground during her spare time. a
Anne Bowles helped her father in
the insurance business.
Janet Williams visited around this
summer. Who did you visit, Janet?
Barbara Cayton took off to Canada
for the summer. Did you meet any
Mounties, Barbara?
Don McGlohon took his vacation in
Florida and also worked at the same
time,

This Week’s Movie
by Anne George
“Call Me Mister,” starring Dan
Dailey, Betty Grable and Danny
Thomas, will be shown Friday, Sep-
tember 17, in Austin Auditorium at!
7:30 p.m.
This light musical is adapted from
the Broadway show of the same
name.
The film’s setting is in occupied
Japan and portrays the typical life
of a G.I. and his retum to civilian
life. An on-again off-again romance
continues throughout the entire story.
Danny Thomas’ acts are often quite
funny, but the background is uni-
form and lacks invention.
For a light, enjoyable evening we
recommend “Call Me Mister,” espe-
cially for the boys who are Betty
Grable fans!

Foreign Student
by Joyce Smith
Having been here for only a few
days, Pauline Catel of Lyon, France,
declares that she likes East Carolina
very much. However, as she stated,
it is taking time for her to get settled.
Pauline, an attractive 22-year-old
girl, will study at ECC through spring
quarter of 1955. Having graduated
from Lyon University in France, Pau-
lish.
Tn addition to her native language,
Pauline speaks English and Malian.
While at East Carolina she w!'] take
Spanish.
When asked what her first impres-
sion of America wag she replied,
“The American accent.” Upon leaving
East Carolina next spring, Pauline
plans to travel in the states.
To you, Pauline, we extend a large
welcome. We hope your stay at ECC
is very pleasant.
When Jessie, a farm girl, had
been in college a few weeks, her
family got a letter from her asking
that from henceforth she be called
Jessica. Her brother Tom couldn’t
resist replying:
