CORBETT In an effort. to eliminate the huge en- tanglement of red tape, confusion and geeral disorder that are a seemingly established evil of our defense system, President Eisen- hower has proposed a plan that would give the Secretary of Defense more power and Congress less. The plan is far from being put into effect, however. And before it is the President will probably find himself en- yaged in one of the most bitterly contested fights of his career. Even before the plan t ‘afting stages, opposition was mounting leaps and bounds. Many leading Con- gressmen, Democrats and Republicans alike, have already announced their dislike for the proposal and many others will follow. What- ever else can be said about the measure, how- ever, it has clearly created one situation pre- viously believed to be an impossibility: Un- ous agreement among the Armed Forces. ll dislike it. tunately for was out of the President Eisenhower extreme dislike for his proposa] felt by and the varions services is not the American people.

Lucas Alarmed; CU Thanks Dear Miss Johnson: If you notice what I have to say I hope you will read it in the spirit of these words from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Criticism:” “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nir e’er shall be.” I was quite alarmed at some of the contestions made in an article of the “East Carolinian,” “Murderers of the King’s English.” I would like to men- tion a few of the statements in the article and question whether the author really meant what she wrote. The fol- lowing statement rather troubled me: “Anyone who uses incorrect English should not be allowed to pass any course in English, especially Voice and Diction.” Would the writer of the ar- ticle defend it as being gramatically correct? When I took English courses I was warned not to use the phrase, “in place of” for “rather than.” Can you defend this sentence as a correct usage of verb agreement with the subject? “But if the elementary grades and the high school fails to perform one of its most important tasks then this job falls to the college.” Shouldn’t you change the following sentence? “Stu- dies show that high (school) students are plain (ly) ignorant of things grammar school students would have known a generation ago.” Is it logical for a teacher to take courses “in how to teach” children? 3 Another of your assertations that I wish to-question is that... “not every student can pass chemistry or physics, but every student is capable of and should be taught to speak co- herrent English.” Perbaps I should get your definition of “eoherent Eng- Mish.” Regardless of my remarks, I am definitely in agreement with your ar- ticle concerning our need for better grammarians. We would never wish a country with many language barriers, for such would threaten our cherished nationalism. As we survey the situation we might recall what Pope said in the following tement from “An Essay on Criti- cism:” “Tis with our judgements as our watches; none go just alike, yet each believes his own.” Sincerely yours, Thomas W. Lucas Dear Editor, The College Union Carnival Com- mittee with Miss Mendenhall and Mrs. Fagan like to express their gratitude to you and to the staff of the EAST QGAROLINIAN for the complete coverage of the C U Spring Carnival in the many news articles during the spring quarter. We feel that the effort and coopera- tion on behalf of the EAST CARO- LINIAN’S photographer and news ‘writers was a tremendous boost to Carnival Night. It helped promote the first event of this kind by the Union, and we are proud to say that Carni- val Night at East Carolina proved to be a success far beyond our ex- pectations. Any event of this nature needs a great amount of publicity to insure success, and we say, “Kets off to for .the EAST CAROLINIAN.” Sincerely, The Staff of the College Union Dear Editor, I would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank all clubs and other organizations for their participation in the College Union Carnival Night.

In an evening contest Bruce Shelly and George Williams teamed up to toss a goose egg at High Point as their teammates scored 5 big runs. The win boosted EC’s conference re- cord to 6-1, a game behind league leading Elon who has an 8-1 record. Yesterday’s evening affair at col- lege stadium saw Jim Martin lead Bue batters with 2 hits in 4 trips and 1 RBI. Singles by Vaughn and Phillips accounted for 2 more runs while Bueky Reep doubled home another. The final Pirate run came as the result of a Tommy Nance’s fielders choice. Williams took over mound duties in the 7th frame as High Point threatened to score. Butch Allie Drives In 5 Runs For Duke One man completely wrecked the Pirate hopes of a win over the Blue Devils of Duke University last night at Guy Smith Stadium. Duke Allie, a right handed long ball hitter blasted out a towering double, a single and a 400 foot home run over the left field fence to account for 6 of Duke’s runs. He batted in 5 and scored once in the 8 to 3 victory. No one player on the EC team managed to get more than one hit. The Bucs nad 8 in all. Jerry Stewart’s single in the second, an error and a fielder’s choice and a sacrifice fly Jim Martin aceounted for East Carolina’s first run. Bill Altman, the player that defensively dominated the game with two brilliant running catches in center field, drove a triple to right to score Stewart in the 7th frame. Stewart had previously waked. Marion Talon followed with a sacrifice fly to score Altman for the third and final run for Mallory’s crew. Baker relieved by Leonard Lilly in the 6th.

The loss gave EC a season’s record of 8 wins against 4 setbacks, In North State conference action last Friday and Saturday, East Caro- lina had its conference record marred knocked from the unbeaten ranks in that first place Elon nipped the Bues by a seant 5-4 margin. The win pushed the Christians to 8-1. On Saturday ECC got hot to dump High Point 13-2 on the latter’s home dia- mond, This gave the Pirates a 6-1 mark going into yesterday’s contest with the same High Point squad.

This gives the Pirates a record of 7-0 in the conference and 10-2 overall record inetuding all the matches played this year. The only defeats were given to them by the Citadel and N. C. State, both by the same score, 5-4, This better than average record is quite unusual and impressive for ECC considering EC’s records in other year. It really is a shame that tennis as well received by the students as is football and bas- ke'ball. The boys have been playing a great game and deserve more praise than they are receiving. Maurice Everett, a senior who has held the number one position for the ast four 5 s, has been playing a errific game. Maurice has played in various tennis tournaments all over tle state and has developed into an all-round player. He has a slicing, powerful serve which has been the reason for many of his victories. Playing slot 2 is John West, a soph- omore from Durham, who js slated to relieve Maurice from his position upon graduation. John is undefeated this year, and, if he plays as well in the future, will probably hold this record. West is one of the tallest men on the team and he uses his height to an advantage on the forecourt. Billy Hollowell, a sophomore who also undefeated, is probably the and most improved player on the courts. Bill has beautiful form and a backhand that cannot be top- ped. He and John Savage team up as one of the doubles combina- tions ECC has ever had, The third feated nis team ir by sports this “coolest” hottest man to remain unde- the No. 4 player, John Savy- John, probably the most color- ful player on the team, never ceases to with his as- sortment of terrific shots.

Brown lacks experience but has a powerful over- hand smash that wins him point after point. Our last member of the iron six is our newly-elected SGA president, Mike Katsias. Mike plays the most unorthodox tennis anyone has ever seen, but is a consistent point-getter with his unusual smash and push shots. Quite a few more matches remain this year’s season, so everyone go out and support this winning team. Watershow Takes Place Tonight Tonight at 8:00 p. m. the first per- formance of East Carolina’s Annual Watershow will be given in Memorial Gym.

Depth and sheer power was on the side of the Camp Lejeune Leather- necks as they topped EC by a score of 92 2-3 to 47 1-3 and then ran over their next door neighbors from Cherry Point by helping East Carolina to keep the Cherry Point scoring down to 21 points. Thus on a muddy and rain swept track it was Camp Le jeune on top, East Carolina in the second spot and Cherry Point in the number three and last position. Curry Again Leads Team Jessel Curry again led his team in the track and field sport. Curry scored 15 points as he nabbed two first places in the high and low hurdles, a second in the broad jump and & third in the javelin throw.

IAN pertaining to the Junio ior dance on May 10, I cannot but form a defensive attitude towa: such a tyrannical statement “street clothes or any other a other than formal, will not mitted.” I am well aware of the fact that this Junior-Senior dance is one the rare formal occasions of the sc be ad- j year and I don’t doubt that the vitation commitee, or who ever is responsible in planning this event, have good intentions and want to d everything in their power to make t dance a very colorful and gala eve but did they ever take into considera- tions that there are a few of us who are not of the elite, thriving capitalist class? . .. or is this dance only for them? I don’t mind buying a corsage for a girl half as much as I mind shelling out ten bucks to rent a formal to use for four hours in the semi-dark- ness of a crowded dance floor. I can understand being kicked ou: of a dance at the White House for not wearing a formal because I’m not a part of that crowd, but, I am a part of the senior class and I fee! that a great social injustice would be done if members of the Junior and Senior classes were not admitted © this dance just because an elite few decided everyone would wear formals!

In the rising sophomore class election Terris Eller with 98 votes and Polly Adams with 97 votes for the presidential spot was featured in a run-off in the College Union today. Capturing the vice-presidency in the junior class run-off was Jeff Strickland with 106 votes to Dan Spain’s 85. Rosalie Dalton secured the secretarial position with 102 votes over Betsy Redding who scored 88 votes. Betsy Hill wss elected trea- surer over Betty McCauley by se curing 102 votes to McCauley’s 88. . ing this letter, but several of my fel- low peasants are in the Same situa- tion and I feel perfectly justified in voicing my opinion. It seems to me, and I’m not alone on this point, that some consideration should be allowed for those who can- not afford to rent a formal. A dark suit has always been accepted in the past, (and these are such a minority that one hardty notices anyhow) #0 why not this time? Perhaps I have misinterpreted the Statement in last week’s paper, but the more I think about it the more dogmatic it becomes, Isn’t there any room for any toleration at all? Any- one who claims to have. any» demo- cratic principles at all should know that when toleration the unpleasant smell of tyranny arises. _ have .mevey remain your respectful pauper, Eddie Sinclair eter Note: ‘The story concern- ic 'unior-Senier dance was sub- m by Purvis Boyette, chgirmen of invitations committes,
