The Greenville native has prcposed a thirteen-point plat- form in which he says he isn’t “making any foolish or outr landish campaign promises.” Phelps emphasizes “‘co-opera- tion between the students and the SGA and between the SGA and the administration.” He ad- vocates a “bigger and better East Carolinian” and would set up a committee to revise the SGA constitution. “This will tend to create a more harmonious atmosphere and will let everyone know what is happening,” he said, com- menting on the importance of co-operation.

Dennis Wants Upperclassmen Privileges Sddie Dennis will be a can- dinate for the presidency of the Student Government Association in the campus-wide election on March 21. He announced his decision this week and released an eight-point platform in which he places em- yhasis on upperclassmen privi- ‘eyes in that they be allowed a more lenient cut system, calls for better entertainment and dances on campus, and asks for a revision of the present exam- ination schedule. A junior from Durham, Den- nis has served this year as chair- man of the Men’s Judiciary. He has held positions on various SGA committees during his three vears here, and is active in fra- ternity and other organizational activities. “In the event that 1 am elected, I hope to fulfill the duties and obliga- tions of the office of president of the Student Government Association in the best interest of the entire student body,” he wrote in a letter to the newspaper. Platform Dennis’ platform and his eomments on the various points include: 1, Upperelassmen privileges. “I want to see the upperclassmen allowed a more lenient cut system. It appears to me that by your junior and senior year of college 3 student should be emotionally mature enough to realize when he should cut a class anf when he should not. Students should allowed to accept more responsibility as part of their college training. “Also, I would like to see the up- perclassmen allowed one iate per- mission a week (this is set at 1 a. m. at some of the other universities and colleges in the state.)

The Columbia Scholastic Press As- sociation’s yearly convention is the world’s largest convention of editors. Its purpose is to offer the latest and best methods of improving publice- tions, and to allow for a cooperative exchange o! ideas. The SCPA began in 1925 with 308 delegates and had grown to 4,583 in 1956, Since 1925, 74,897 Editors and Advisors have at- tended the conventions, The programs for this year in- cludes more than 150 meetings, con- ference, and discussions. Talks will be delivered by professionai journal- ists and outstanding members of the school publications field. Magazines, yearbooks and newspapers will be ‘displayed, including selections from the 1956 Critique and Contest, Delegates from the East Carolinian and Buccaneer expressed the convict- tion that a gteat:deal will be gained by attending.

It seems that if the council is to accom- lish the purpose for which it is being es- tablished—namely, to keep the local fraterni- in line while acting on the local social that all fraternal groups whether honor- vice, or social should be included. ‘o regulate and co-ordinate just the social gvrcups would be only a third of the story as far as East Carclina is concerned. The other vroups on campus which have dances, parties, iations need to be included in the fra- , council or else the whole idea will be hat of a farce. In cther words, the council would have its main purpose the regulating of the fraterni- activities, such as establishing dates for big fraternity dances in order to avoid nfliets. cor-ordinating initiation programs, nd cther activities associated with social, vice and to some extent honorary fraterni- tion terni som At East Carolna, the latter two types of fraternities are older and more established than the other type—social. Hence, many of the activities of the social fraternities and of a social fraternity council would be to some extent dependent upon the older groups. Therefore, before a great deal is done and time is lost, the East Carolinian feels that the fraternity council should see that all in- terested groups are invited to participate in activities that affect all of the fraternal organi- zations.

Big 9.1 Plan THERE’S A LADY in Fayetteville who says, “It seems to me that tea- chers are never satisfied.” That’s what Margaret Taylor McMa- han told 125,000 newepaper readers recently via a column which includes letters to the editor. Every school teacher in North Carolina and all East Carolina students, who plan to teach and understand the duties of teachers today, should write her a personal letter, expounding the plight of these underpaid, overworked, and misunderstood people. SHE SAYS a good teacher could never be paid for his or her services, but believes the pay comes in the joy of the work and the inner satisfaction of a job well done, No one can make a living for them- selves on joy and satisfaction, not even a schoo] teacher. I suppose the teacher is to eat the daily apple Johnny brings, smile, and proceed to teach Johnny how to read. AND THIS LADY from Fayette- ville can actually cite cases where “some of them go home every week- end and contribute nothing to the community where they make their living.” Any teacher, who has any initiative at all, will contribute just as much to a community during the five days he or she is teaching as other members of the community. After five days together, the tea- cher needs a change as wel] as the tudents, But this lady would probably nave the teachers spend Saturday in the corner drugstore sharing ice cream sodas with their students, Sat- urday night playing cards with the arents—“‘Pass ... and I just can’t understand Jotnny’s low average in math”—or watching _ television— “Doesn't Johnny have a smile like Perry Como?” Then there’d be Sunday Schoo] with Johnny, church with Johnny, Sunday dinner with Johnny, more cards, and more television, And Monday morning would find everyone hustling and bustling with excitement ... Johnny must learn to read. Teachers will never be able to do enough for people like the Fayette- ville woman. ACCORDING TO the Fayetteville lady, teachers—just because they are teachers—have many advantages de- nied other people. . .wonderfu! hours, many holidays and three montns du- ring which time they can study and travel abroad. Most teachers will ask, “On what?” The Fayetteville lady would have all our female teachers old maids. “Society would be better off if a good many of them would stay home and look after their households and not be working to make a new in- vestment here and there.” A teacher with children can under- stand better the problems in her classroom because she has experi- enced such situations in her own home. She won’t be making extemporaneous decisions alorig the punishment line. SHE SAYS, “My husband goes to work when it is black dark and in winter it is black dark when he gets home again.” Well, maybe he’d have it that way. | wonder if she’s ever heard of lesson plans, grading papers, reports, and that sort of thing. She thinks Governor Hodges “is a great governor, the best we’ve ever had.” That’s what some of his supporters are saying, too. “If he recommends a 9.1 per cent- raise he does 30 only after careful study of the over-all picture and a long-range view of the whole pro- gram,” she continues, ‘And in conclusion, “Governor Hod- ge, is doing the best he can for every- body—the teachers included.” PVE HEARD something about a raise for the Governor, members of the Council of State, and everybody knows that truck drivers are doing fine. Governor Hodges fought for the Pearsall Plan so educational standard, in North Carolina couldn’t be lowered. Now why doesn’t he fight for that 19.31 per cent pay raise for teachers? They’re operating North Carolina's educational system. The lady from Fayetteville could be anyone from the neice of the Super- intendent of Public Schools to Gov- ernor Hodges’ sister. I don’t know her. But I wouldn't be surprised to hear of her walking the streets in Fayette- ville, « sign in front explaining “Truck Drivers Transport the Leaders of Tomorrow” and one behind, “I Like Luther and hig 9.1.” saat Bryan Harrison Poor Richard’s Black Book No doubt you have already read Jan Raby’s column, Pot Pourri, ap- pearing at the top right-hand corner of this page. Her column has a better space and bigger type than mine. We are both treating the same topic this week, a mutual favagite—Benjamin Franklin and The Thirteen Points. Benjamin Franklin inventor, diplomat, moralist, Poor Richard Poor utilitarian Ben Memoirs. It is in his Memoirs that he gives us his famous Thirteen Points. Ben had a little black book in which he kept a record of his virtue. Every time he made a booboo he put a check by the virtue which he violated. At the end of the week he counted his sins on the moral tally sheet. He figured if he concentrated on a par- ticular virtue week, that by the end of thirteen weeks he would be the perfect man, , hilosopher, scien writer. manac, and al- his and his every Thirteen easy lessons in moral per- ‘tion. Gamble a three-cent postage m, and send o‘f for Ben Frank- lin’s thirteen-week — virtue-building course. You too can be the perfect man, Of course, you get all this non- sense in English 210 and Miss Raby as already listed it, but just for fun of it, let’s do it again: The Thirteen Points: 1. Temperance. Eat not to fullness; drink not to elevation. (It’s too bad Ben didn’t define fullness. I always pictured him as a fat man.) Martha Wilson 2. Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself . . . (I vuess that shuts my water off.) 3. Order. Let all things have their let each part of your business time. (Does that include departmental meetings?) 4. Resolution, Resolve to perform what you ought; perform wthout fail what (On my honor, J will do my best... ) Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself ... (Which costs little.) y. Lose no time; be al- places; have its you resolve. Indus off all unnecessary actions. (Shucks! No more beer and _televi- Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and speak (What if your dirty mind won't let you think innocently?) 8. Justice. Wrong none by doing in- juries, or omitting the benefits that your duty. (Such as helping old ladies across the street.) 9. Moderation, Avoid extremes; for- bear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. (Okie Dokie.) 10. Cleanliness, Tolerate no un- cleanliness in body, clothes, or habi- tation, (And don’t forget to bruan your teeth.) 11. Tranquility, Be not, disturbed or at accidents common or unavoidable. (Be not disturbed if you break your neck in an unavoid- able accident.) 12. Chastity. Rarely use venery but accordingly. at trifles, for health or offspring, never to dull- ness, weakness, or the injury of your another's peace or reputa- tion, (Who uses “venery”? Most peo- ple just “do it.”) 13. Humility. Imitate Jesus and Soc- rates, The type of humility displayed in this last statement has always amused Imitate Jesus and Socrates. Ben doesn’t ask for much in the humility department, Needless to say, Ben’s black-book system didn’t work. I doubt if it lasted thirteen weeks. At any rate, Ben wasn’t morally perfect. Poor Richard. Hig Thirteen Points are doomed to the same fate aa new year resolutions in February. Franklin’s best field was diplomacy. He went to France to borrow money He played with some big boys over in Europe, but he came out on top. I can hardly understand how anyone so success- ful as a world diplomat have such a naive conception of human beings as illustrated in his list of virtues, I can hardly believe he did. But if he didn’t, why was he so intent in pull- ing a fast one on the reader, Per- haps he was becoming mellow in his old age Ben Franklin, writer. Bosh. At his best he was a champion cliche ex- pert. Ben Franklin, the great Ameri- can philosopher. Hogwash!

The first steps toward beautification of the campus grounds were taken by the late Jacques Bus- bee,_a noted North Carolina artist who won fame as the owner and operator of Jugtown Potteries. Un- der his direction were planted the first camellia bushes in front of Austin Building, Landscaping Really extensive landscaping started in the 1930’s under the administra- tion of Dr. Wright. On the sugges- tion of Mr. W. L. Wright 300 or 400 more camellia bushes were plant- ed as well as various other shrubs, cedars, magnolias, holly trees, ete. Wright Circle was designed and the broad, swampy area behind Graham Building was converted into a Jap- anese sunken lake complete with little bridges and boats and flanked with weeping willows. Later this was drained and Davis Arboretum was planted, content with a little stréam winding beneath the pines and cherry trees and other saplings. The arboriculture continues, with 100 pink and white dogwoods being planted just last year around the Flanagan Sylvan Theatre.

Mr. Jim Fleming, state senator fron Pitt County district and father of Mr. J Fleming of the Foreign Language Dep: ment, wired from Raleigh: “Bring u; port from Greenville, I've got my f the door.” Mr. Dail remembers traveling to Ra with Governor Jarvis, Dr. Laughingh: R.

Pitt County were not particularly rested.” “We just can’t leave such an ind ness on our children,” the main oppos usually complained. After another hard struggle, Green\ and Pitt County decided to float a | issue of $100,000, and the college was awa! ed to this area. “Even after this, there was still a great deal of opposition and resentiment,” the old man continued. “TI recall meeting one of my best fr on the street a few days after the | vote, and boy was he boiling.” “Told you that this college was gonné ruin us. My taxes are twice as much 2s ever before,” the old-timer grumbled. Mr. Dail asked to examine the old man’s tax receipt and found that the college bond tax was only four cents. “I gave him # nickle and told him that I would pay his bond tax as long as I lived,” Mr. Dail chuckled.

That’s an impossible task but one that Jules Verne would tackle. § : Following a recent survey made by Space Utilization Analysis Incorporated, of New York, they predicted that en- -ollment in 1965 at East Caro- 2 canine lina will be 5800. If this predic- ticn is true, by 1970 this num- ber should be increased to at least 7500, and by the year 2000, according to the way pop- tin is growing, there will e to be either many other -ves or the enrollment here i] probably be 15,000. Looking forward to the ne d fr expansion, the Gen- eral Assembly is being asked for money to purehase land a- cross Fourteenth Street, which wuld double the size of the ‘resent campus, and if tall “unildings were erected a large uimber of students could be ac- -o 6modated. With the increase in number of students the history of colleges everywhere has been that the curriculum, likewise, has necessarily expanded. Fifteen years ago no one predicted that Florida State College for W men would now be Florida State University, Tallahassee, with its marvelous plant, large student body and diversified curriculum. I would predict that scme day, but probably not in my time, that East Carolina would be an institution similar to Flor- ida State University at Tallahassee. Within the immediate fu- ture, perhaps within the next ten years, there should be a School of Agriculture and a School cf Nursing on our campus, and eraduate work for the Master’s degree should be expande ed. Not nearly enough teachers are being educated for the junior col- leers and lower levels of the seni?r colleges. We placed eleven such people last year, who have the Master’s degree; there is an increasing need for more colleges to expand their programs in this direction. Not now, but possibly just a few years hence, the Dector of Education decree may become necessary in var- ious fields -f teacher education. sunervision and administration.

In case you've) forgotten, last year’s edition made shambles of the North State Confer-' enee meet and compiled a record of five wins as against two losses, That doesn't seem like too bad a record ior a college whic: of'ers no track holarships and didi.’t even list the sports as one of varsity status. Though Miller is on the lookout for , prospective talent, he’s blessed with a veteran team. Returning once again is the now almost legendary form of “Injun” Jim Henderson, winner of the outstmnding performer trophy at the conference meet for the last two years. In Henderson, the Pirates have one of the most outstanding dashmen in the area. He excels in the century race, the 220, and with the proper incentive, his time in the high hurdles is sparkling also, Another standout of the cinder sport is Robert Maynard, of low hurdle fame. May- nard is the running companion of Henderson and ‘e’s no slouch, keep your eyes on this lad. The Pirate cause this year is blessed with returning distance men. Cliff Buck and Foster Morse are the big men in this department. Both were very impressive last year and appear destined for new heights in the coming campaign. Others of note for the cinder team are such men as Patterson, Bishop, Holmes, and Dennis. With talent like this the sea- son in my book jooms as very bright. Among the foes the Pirates will face are N. C.

Another high- light of the season will be the con- tinued rivalry with Elon in the con- ference meet. The tracksters of East Carolina will face a rigid test of survival against the schedule, but they have the material for the job. It’s a team made up of men who really desire to come out for the love of the sport, football players trying to stay -in shape for next Fall, and the hard core known as “naturals”. Follow them well, this year’s team appears lean and hungry for conquest.
