The local Stop Light Securement | Committee, which was appointed and approved by the Student Government Association, presented the proposal to the board on October 13, and the plan was at that time referred to the State Highway and Public Works Commission. Waiting for Budget According to The Daily Reflecter, Greenville newspaper, the proposal will be taken up after next year’s budget is prepared. The newspaper further pointed out in their front page story that City Manager James S. Hughes reported that the Highway commission had no objection to instal- lation ef a fixed step light at the entrance, but continued, however, that even during rush hours the first car in a line of vehicles could leave the main entrance here in eight and one- half seconds and the fourth car in a line could leave in 89 seconds. Bordeaux Replies Kenneth Bordeaux, chairman of the Stop Light Securement Committee, who ig depressed over the delay in the project, told the East Carolin- jan, “Mr, Hughes, Greenville’s able city manager, seems to fail in seeing: the need of the ztep light at Fifth Street and Beckwith Gate.

It was of a gray November day ...a day when clouds were heavy and the air was chilly and a man was sitting by 2 window in his house looking outside at the trees in his yard. The maple trees were fast losing their few remaining crumbly leaves and the man was sad because he dreaded the wintry stillness that was already beginning to peep at him that morning. he whole of the picture was melancholy. & Beneath the picture was propped an expla- nation in the words of the author, telling us that he had portrayed a November day. We fell into his mood and believed that it was really a Novem- ber day. Wondering later why we did so, we de- cided that it was because the painter’s thoughts were not unreasonable and that lots of people become enveloped in a mood of solemnity at the thought of the approaching winter. Che artist did not know for sure what others would think of his work or what others were thinking about November days. What he did know that to him gloom and grayness and decaying eaves meant November and a coming season of ’ 4 lence. He understood what he felt and he cre- ated the picture from his soul. And his thoughts were cohesive with the sanctity of his own spirit- ial values. . Most people would argue that the artist’s wurhts lacked originality. If they had been, the reproduction from his soul might have been inco- nt even though he accompanied his picture h an explanation, The artist, like most of the restof us, Was not hampered because his thoughts like those of many other people. He was i, however, that he possessed the ability k. He could create because of his thoughts thinking gave him positive power. What does the term “think” connotate? To t means a simple impulse.

JAN F. RABY the n el Passing Remark ____ Concerning The Cut System... . Big Orange Drank Boy Jimmy Ferrell A pretty blonde sat at the clut- tered desk in the “Buccaneer” office staring intently at the pages of lay- out before her. The staff photogra- pher was perched on the edge of the desk attempting to explain the prob- lems and accomplishments of the day’s picture taking. She wasn’t hearing a thing he said. Finally she looked up. ”Here ig to- morrow’s scaedule, and don’t forget to. drop by the theater tonight and shoot some scenes from the play,” she told him. Then Lannie Crocker, the amiable editor of East Carolina’s yearbook, turned to us. “How’s the work with the ‘Buccaneer’ coming along?” we asked her. Takes Patience . She leaned back into a comfortable position and sighed. “Well, as you know we are busy with photographs now, so the schedule is pretty rough. Working with the yearbook is a full- time job, It’s interesting, though, in th&t it gives you a feeling of cre- ativeness and also you know that the thing that you are creating is going into something that will be reasured by all the students, which makes it even more of a pleasure. “The more you put into a thing, the more you get out of it. I have found this especially true in my work with Buccaneer.’ There are a lot A CAMPUS POLICY COMMIT- TEE, which consists of all depart- ment heads, will meet soon to discuss the cut situation here. It is probable that the present cut system will be revised soon. According to one of our administrators, some members of the faculty feel that the matter of unex- <] absences is much too liberal, while others seem to think that stu- dents are not given enough liberty. The present cut system now in\ef- fect was established by a faculty- student committee, and should the Policy Committee see fit to revise ‘he present plan, students will again be included when revisions are made. There are schools, such as Colum- bia University, which permit unlim- ited Others, however, do not] tolerate unexcused absences.

Letters To The Editors Dear Editors: Yes, culturally speaking, a Carolina is as backward (or “hickisa,” as one of our administrators put it) as an institution of higher learning dare be. After watching closely and open mindedly for over three years, T have come to the terrible conclusion that students here are completely happy living in ignorance, especially of the arts. This disregard for the better things in life is not only here at East Carolina, but in most of the South. We (Southerners) are knows for doing just what we have to and lsaving the rest for the ambitious. Jt would be good if the students here could be an exception to this rule.

The students of East Carolina should be proud to have on this campus an organization that can combine such fine talents and put forth such a production. It seems, however, that this ability is not rec- ognided by a small minority of the sudent body—it’s to these people that I direct the next paragraph of this letter. During this performance I heard numerous silly remarks from this mi- nority.

It was acknowledged earlier this week that the 225 pound stalwart from Golds- boro has been chosen unanimously by the NAIA (district 26) ag the outstanding footballer in this particu- lar section of the country.

This season is only the second year of competition for a Pirate team of swimmers. The club was formed last November when Martinez came here as an instructor. Martinez’ crew of the past season posted only one win (over William and Mary, Norfolk division).

The Pirates of East Carolina, under the leadership of Coach How- ard G. Porter, will be in the thick of a close North State conference race, with such outstanding teams as At- lantic Christian College, Lenoir Rhyne, Elon, High Point. Several loop teams boast outstanding performers, added reserves, and height advan- tage. Among the non-conference games which are on the schedule are tough independents like Phillips’ “66”, one of the strongest in the country, and McCrary’s, whom the Pirates meet twice. East Carolina also meets Bel- mont-Albbey, a strong non-conference foe, twice in the schedule.
