For the first time East Carolina College was adequately represented at the convention, no schoo] having more delegates than ECC, according to club president Bobby Hall. The SQA provided the club with $50 to help cover expenses which totaled approximately $300. For the first year the colleges re- yresented were allowed two major posts within the party. East Carolina received recognition at the convention as Bobby Hall seconded the nomination of Wake Forest’s candidate Johnnie Roy Hend- rea for secretary, and Donald Jones seconded the nomination of States’ candidate for treasurer, In addition to these seconding speeches Elizabeth Judge was asked to second the nomination of National ‘ommitteeman candidate Bill Wood. However, she did not receive recogni- tion from the chair in time and nominating speeches were closed.

Perhaps what we are about to say has b-en printed in this paper before. If so, we would like to bring it be- fore the students again. The necessi- ty of National Social Fraternities have been, and still are, a problem at ECC. We know that frats would help alleviate some of the housing problems. They would eliminate some of the lines in the cafteria because most of the members would eat at their frat houses. Fraternities would create more competition among groups on campus amd create a greater brotherhood among their members. This college cezmpus enjoys the reputation of being one of the friend- Hest in the south Frats can’t hurt this. If anything, they would help.
