I~ seems the latest policy is to shoot down In the last week of July, a British plane t down off the Hainan Islands, killing ten yple of which three were American. The latest vcident took place September 4, when the U.S. y patrol plane Neptune was shot down over Sea of Japan by two MIGs. One crew member his life in this unprovoked attack.

Although facing the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, and the fact that Americans will shoot back now, what other aggressive policies 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 she could be with her husband. Marietta and Major Hooper were married in Elizabeth City on Sep- tember 5. Both graduated last Spring and Major is now in the Air Force. Wade Cooper and Mary Sue Burch beeame Mr. and Mrs, Cooper on Sep- 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, ‘ “CAROLINI Wh 9 Phi Sigma Pi by Gene D.

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.

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, Do This Summer? Charles Klutz went up to Maine during the summer. How did you like the North Woods, Charlie? ? A few lucky people attended sum- school during vacation.

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! This Week’s Poem When Noah sailed the waters blue He had his troubles same as you.

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: Dear Jessica: Glad to hear from you. Momica and popica are visiting Lizzica. The old cowica had a calf- ica and we were going to call it Nellica.
