Installation of an additional lounge and soda shop for students and re- location of the College Book Store, both on the first floor of the New South Dining Hall on the West Cam- pus, are projects now underway. The new facilities are expected to be ready for use by the beginning of the fall quarter. Both will be operated on a self-service basis. Lack of space and consequent crowded conditions in both the Col- lege Soda Shop and the College Book and Stationery Store, now located in the College Union on the East Cam- pus, make advisable the use of the first floor of the South Dining Hall to relieve the situation, according to East Carolina Vice President and Business Manager F. D. Duncan. The new facilities, he stated, wil! provide convenient and economical service on the West Campus. The east half of the 1500 square feet of floor space available in the New South Dining Hall, Director Mahlon J. Coles of the College Union and Student Stores stated, will be used for the soda shop. Lounge furni- ture and chairs and tables are now Pianist Presents Concert Here Aladar Ecsedy, young Hungarian pianist, came to Greenville Wednes- day with an impressive number of con- certs to his credit. He presented a recital in Austin Auditorium under sponsorship of the East Carolina Col- lege Entertainment Committee. At the age of 20, with a scholar- ship to study further in Finland, he not only received another degree, but gave over 100 recitals there. From Finland, he left for Sweden, Den- mark, and Norway for an extended tour involving 120 appearances in re- citals and as soloist with major sym- phony orchestras during a four-month period. ' This Scandinavian tour was fol- lowed by five recitals and several recording sessions in Paris, recitals and radio appearances in Switzer- land, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Italy and then to America where he has appeared in concerts in 48 of the states and in the major cities of Canada. Ecsedy’s program at East Carolina included works by Mozart, Bartok, and Liszt. being placed there. Seating space for 100 students, as compared to accom- modations for 40 in the College Union Soda Shop, will be provided, he said. Soft drinks, sandwiches, and other light refreshments will be on sale. The College Book Store will be moved from its present location in the College Union to the west side of the first floor of the New South Dining Hall. In the new store textbooks will be arranged so that students may make their own selections in the stacks and pay a cashier as they leave the store. This arrangement, according to Mr. Coles, will result in speed and econo- my of operation. After the removal of book supplies, the College Stationery Store will have additional space, Mr. Coles explained. The New South Dining Hall, East life.” The new Dean takes great in- terest in the Boy Scout movement. Among his experiences in this field he recalls still quite vividly a jam- boree, held in Pennsylvania a few years ago, to which he took a large group of boy scouts from Eastern North Carolina. “There were : over 50,000 boy scouts from all over the world and about 10,000 adults. We all slept in tents for the whole time we were up there, and I think it was one of the greatest experiences any of us that attended ever had.” Dean Mallory attended UNC, where he got his BS in Physical Education and his Master of ‘Art in Education. The new Dean of Men is well liked by his students, and will remain as advisor for some of the students ma- joring in Physical Education. He stated that in his new position he is not going to wait for the students to come to him with their problems, but will try his best to approach the students as Carolina’s fourth cafeteria, was com-'a friend, so that they will feel free pleted last March.

He will have to be on call at all hours of the day and night, in case , any emergency comes up. During his short trips accompanying the base- ball team on excursions someone will have to occupy his office to fill in the duties of Dean of Men while he is absent, but this point has not yet been cleared. His understanding of the problems of the students and his willingness to help them can not but make me think the administration has made a wise choice in determining who is to take the great responsibilities that make up the job of Dean of Men.

PAGE TWO ‘Hot Nuts’ Ban Is No Surprise “The Hot Nuts,” a colored combo which played for a student-government sponsored dance here two weeks ago, has been banned from the campus for any further engage- ments. The college administration’s chief ob- jection to the performance appears to have been obscenity in some of the lyrics. It is no surprise to us that the combo has been banned, for anyone who attended the dance, although they may have enjoyed admit that the whole show wag a vulgar exhibition. it, must Even out the dirty words, vul- was the tone of the entire perform- he and body manipulations of the performers were neither attractive nor in good taste, and the delight e audience was unbecoming of adult men leaving garity contortions ance. sexual CAROLINIAN encouraged attend the dance acting on the information that the event would provide a much-needed stimulation to the empty-cam- problem.

An Ivy League Harry Hotspur By BRYAN HARRISON He was a familiar figure, a young man who often looked old (or per- haps he was an old man who often looked young), walking toward Aus- tin with quick, jerky steps, the olive green bookbag (filled with volumes of Yeats and Frost and maybe even a little Shakespeare) forever on his back, incessantly chewing his gum, or riding his bicycle, or sometimes carrying his black umbrella with a dignity becoming a Ph. D. But he would never let you call him “Doctor.” “If you want to get familiar with me,” he once said, “call me Frank, but never ‘Hoskins’ and by no means Doctor Hoskins.” Behind his back we called him Doc Hoskins, “the old birdwatcher,” and Hank Foskins. He ~- was teacher of English here for three years. He left just last week to become head of the English department at Newberry College in South Carolina. He was a real nonconformist, not for the sake of being a nonconform- ist, but simply because he was. His eccentricities natural and you never thought ft out of place to see him with a beret, or to see him kissing adieu with his hands. were Once he unloaded his bookbag and pulled out a cornbeef sandwich which he claimed he buried there the pre- vious summer. His bookbag always aroused curiosity. It was his bag of treasures. The treasures of Dylan Thom Archibald MacLeish, Karl Shapiro and Peter Viereck. “I'm a real culture hound,” he once told us. “I love art because art has produced real beauty in this world. I never liked mathematics. Mathematics produced the bomb and destroys, while art brings order out of chaos.” He was a true intellectual without being snobbish. He could bring the great literature of this world to life. He could make it live and breathe, even the ancient works he brought up to date. “Now Brutus, he was a Dartmouth grad. You the type. A real PMOC, captain of the rowing team. His folks were probably members of the hunting, fishing, shooting set in upstate New York.” know “No. I don’t like Falstaff. He was a real clod. Prince Hal? He was the sneaky type. I liked Harry Hotspur myself. There was a man who stood his rights. He was not al- ways right, but he alwa fought for what he thought was right. up for His personal habits, although to extent eccentric, were un- commonly sound. He was de- voted to his church, a devout Episcopalian. “I love the cere- mony,” he said. “The liturgy in the prayer book is beautiful.” He never drank, except an occasional beer with the boys, just to show them he was a good sport. “Beer is like Shakespeare,” he once told them, “you have to acquire the taste for it.” some We would walk into his class with both fear and expectation. We could tell by his facial expression or by the suit he wore whether or not he would give us a test. And his tests were rough. You never knew what he would ask and he flunked a lot of second-guessers in his time. But you always knew you had to think and think hard. Once he told a student, “You're not a scholar, boy, but I gave you a “1” because you had the vision. You are one of the few that caught fire.” And to catch fire under him was a great experience, for it meant let- ting a little ancient glory rub off on you. The glory of Chaucer and Mil- ton, of John Donne and Andrew Mar- vell, of Swift and Pope, of Keats and Housman, and, above all, the glory of the Gentle Bard. The last time I saw him he said he was going to retire some day and pull a Willy Yeats and build a cabin in the woods. “I am going to take all my books and thousands of Chester- field cigarettes and I’m going to read and smoke myself to death.” He was a familar figure. It seems hard to believe he will be with us no more. His influence is a thing that cannot be measured. He was like a gentle priest who first taught us the seven sins, who told us to be- ware of the inane, the banal, the trite, and most of all, he taught us to recognize the sin of sentimentality. He was not always right, to be sure, but he was always fighting, and he sincerely belived in what he was fighting for. He was, in trath, a Harry Hotspur in an ivy league suit.

W. PIERCE Brubeck Quartet Masters Of Progressive Jazz Family By MARCELLE VOGEL Popular jazz artist, Dave Brubeck, and his quartet performed a very entertaining jazz concert in Wright Auditorium last Friday night. Brubeck, 38, a fine progressive jazz pianist and composer, started out playing the p.ano and cello in the classical tradition. ‘At thirteen he be- gan playing jazz in local bands in California. As a music major at the College of the Pacific, Stockton, Cali- fornia he organized a swing band. Brubeck has traveled extensively throughout this country, and in other countries also. Last year the quartet played most of Europe and the Far East, even traveling behind the Iron Curtain. The major portion of this tour was sponsored by the U. S. State Department, which brought the quartet into areas that had never heard a live jazz performance before. Brubeck is a member of a musical family. His two brothers are musi- cians and his wife is a composer. Brubeck’s five children are all learn- ing how to play an instrument. He said, “There’s no escape for the children not becoming musicians.” The children, ranging from 4 to 11 years, are given lessons every morn- ing before “Dad” goes to work. Brubeck enjoys himself most when he takes a couple of months vacation from playing and rests at home with his family. He composes music in his spare time. Paul Desmond joined forces with Dave in 1951, and the now famous Dave Brubeck Quartet was launched. Desmond is a fine sax player, and has « clear mellow tone. He seems rather refined though, and not once during the concert did he give the sax all he had. This, however, is a change from the bellowing sax players in behop and jazz fields. Desmond, who is featured on all the Brubeck discs, recently joined Gerry Mulligan to produce the fine Mulligan-Desmond Quartet LP for Verve, which has be- come a best seller since its release a few months ago. Joe Morello, the drummer, can really beat the drums. He has become recognized as one of the outstanding drummers in the country. Gene Wright, an excellent bass player, is the newest member of the Brubeck Quartet. This article was made possible through the efforts of WWWs, the campus raido station. was published in 1953 and was given the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for the best fiction work by a North Carolinian that year. Entitled “The Plantation,” it also received fine ac- m nationally and rose to best- selling lists. The summer months are busy ones for Pierce. He arises early in the mornings and usually gets underway with his work by eight o’clock. He prefers to write in longhand, so get- the book in final form is a lengthy process. Finally, the manu- script must be typewritten for the publisher. “And since no one can my writing,” he chuckles, ba | am dictating it to a typist.” Pierce’s new novel, which as yet has no name, concerns a plantation on the Moratuck River, an old Indian na for the Roanoke which runs through ortheastern Carolina. It involves a grandmother, her daughter- in-law and grandson who each repre- sents a different generation, and con- cerns adjustments the three make to the changing period after the war B een the States. The emotions displayed by the three generations in Pierce’s book may be analogous to these expressed towards current Southern problems, and he admits that reactions of the three could parallel current reactions. The grandmother is unable to cope with the new situation and disrupted values; the daughter-in-law, or middle ting read generation, is forced to compromise to new conditions on the plantation; and the grandson quickly adjusts to new life brought about by recon- struction. Pierce started working on his new novel soon after the last one was published. Reading and_ research, which serve as a basis for his writ- ing, have involved two years, and he has actually been writing for one year. Research is necessary, he says, “in order to get the feeling of the people of the time” and also to avoid contradicting historical truths. He got a head start on the book during the past fall by taking a leave of absence from East Carolina Col- lege, and he has worked on it con- tinuously for the past three months. Much of the rest was completed while he was teaching in Greenville. “The Plantation” was written and published while Pierce was a profes- sor at Tulane University in New Or- leans, Louisiana. Soon after the book’s release, he decided to return to North Carolina in order to spend more time at his family’s home in Halifax County. A greying bachelor, Pierce is an alumnus of both Duke and Harvard and during World War II served in the Army Counterintelligence Corps. He is a native of Weldon, in Halifax County, and spent his early life there. In addition to novels, he also con- tributed to an article about North Carolina life and countryside publish- ed in Holiday Magazine. He is relatively young as a novel- ist, and the state can expect a great deal more to flow from his pen. Notice The East Carolinian welcomes letters to the editer. Letters should be concise, to the point, and typewritten. All letters must be signed; however, the editor will withhold the name of the writer if he so desires. THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1 Headaches Mounting For Fidei By JAMES M. CORBETT Amid rumblings of discontent fron corners of his tiny country, Fidel Castro lg week saw his former Air Force command appear before a U.S. committee and accuse him of leaning towa Communism. These are but a few of a mounf ing number of headaches the former ret commander has confronting him at pré Senate investigat Some are minor and may warrant only m concern. Others, however, are of such magni tude that his entire government may be i jeopardy. Hardly had Castro begun to taste of his revolutionary v former Cuban head Batista before him realize he had no picnic ahead out the Americas, he gained notoriet criticism for te circus-like atmosphere lowed to surround the tri of ex-Batis ficers. He followed these with mass tions which led many people to brand } murder. This is probably the root for foreign criticism heard today. A short time after Castro rebels ¢ Batista to flee to the Dominican Republic revolutionary fever began to sprez Carribean countries. Small bands received wide publicity by ‘invading’ \ countri In many cases the rebels cons of a mixture of many nationalities an ays ended in a disorganized flop. C believed to have backed some of t raids. Consequently, other government } are fearful and believe him to be untr worthy. Discontent among his own people ha proven to be another sore spot. He pr land reform and that’s what the C sants wanted. Now they claim, howe is not being broken down and distr them fast enough. On the other hand, landowners, whose land was to be p y confisticated and divided among the peasants are protesting violently. In many areas, C ba’s economy is in danger due to the « culty in finding workers to harvest the bu per sugar crop. : During the Batista regime, and prior to that, tourists from the United States other counries have added vitality to the ban economy. Castro has closed many of casinos and nightclubs which were the cou ‘try’s leading tourist attractions. In many of 9 the clubs still open, Castro soldiers ro freely through them with dangerous look weapons and cocky attitudes. This hard generates an atmosphere for pleasure. As a result, tourist travel to Cuba has declined drastically. Can the Cuban economy afford this loss of income? As if the Cuban enjoy t sweet leader did not have enough to keep him awake at night, his for- mer Air Force commander deserted to the 9 U. S. a few days ago and testified before a congressional hearing that he was acting like a Communist. The former officer had proof so these charges remain doubtful, bu it does point up the fact that Castro’s most potent weapon, the armed forces, may be drawing away. Last week Castro announced plans to re- linquish his post of Minister to allow him more time to work with his people. This em- ph. the fact that he is aware of the dan- gers facing him. Fidel Castro proved he is an able leader of men by binding a disorganized group of fired up rebels into an effective fighting machine. He has yet to prove his ability as a leader of his country, however. Only his- tory will tell the truth, but chances are good that Castro will be remembered es a great rebel leader who should have left the running of the government to someone else. Is Earl tll? By TOM JACKSON Recent newspaper headlines have made such statements as “Governor Long is Term- ed ery Sick,” “Governor Mentally Disturb- ed,” “Political Leader flies off Handle.” Now what are we, the public, to believe? The old expression, “I only know what I see in the paper,” could hardly apply here. After all, is not Governor Long a lawmaker, a “leader of the people,” a figure head of American gov- ernment? Are we, who most surely realize that one in so prominant a position could never be wrong, be sick, (or is ill a better word), or be mentally disturbed, to believe the babblings of the newspaper headlines? Most certainly they are wrong. This is the work of mud slingers, of radicals, or of madmen. No leader of the great American democracy could possibly be mentally ill. Why, if it were true that would lead us to think that perhaps some of our other leaders are not capable. Inquiring minds would begin to ponder the capabilities of other leaders. The president, the Secretary of Agriculture the judges of the Supreme Court, college obi nes labor pee Eagle Scouts, hous- ing directors, and even the supremeness of the great Elmer Gent i i cent ry might be questioned. So we, the flock, must di Tega: mutterings about Governor Spe We ae never even think that one of our leaders po- litical or otherwise, could ever be “ill” or in- capable in any way. No. Stop it. Don’t even entertain any thoughts that their points of view or decisions are ever wrong. You must believe in them.
