Bryan, Wilson Hall. . for Summer School Queen: Jackie Byrd, Sigma Epsilon; Janet Arnold, WWW Campus Radio Station WWWS Marks Progress; Hopes For Future Goal To Be Realized Progress highlighted the events at Campus Radio Station WWWS dur- ing the summer sessions this year. Money totaling over $500 was appro- priated by the Summer School Stu- dent Government Association for the purpose of improving and expanding Campus Radio’s present broadeast equipment, and enlarging the record libraries of 45’s and L-P’s. The College Union Dance Party, which was initiated last spring by statien manager, Jim Kirkland, and assisted by J. Wayne Johnson during the Spring Quarter and Rudd L. Jen- sen and E. T. Rogers during the Summer sessions, has been a source of Friday night entertainment this summer, as it is the only event which has been regularly scheduled by the Student Government Association, working with the staff. Part of the money appropriated by the SGA went for the repair of the remote broad- cast equipment used in presenting this program from the patio of the college union each Friday night. Sponsored time sometimes known commercial time, was instituted on a regular basis this summer by Frank Grayiel, Business Manager of the Compus Radio Station. Money ta- ken in from advertising is used for the improvement of the station’s fa- cilities, as well as enlarging the pre- as music library. Much of the “sold” time was done on a “swap” basis with the local merchants in which the merchants gave campus radio ma- terials in return for campus radio’s advertising service. Along with the innovation of spon- sored time, Campus Radio then began operating on Sunday evenings for a short while, and now has increased Sunday time to three hours of broad- casting. Special events, headed by Rudd Jen- sen, was another major item on Cam- pus Radio this summer. The pro- grams of interest with Dr. Messick and Dr. Jenkins were continued, and a special week of programs with Dean White were added. When the High School Science Institute arrived for three weeks, Jensen was there to greet them with a tape recorder. Plans now for interviews with the Summer Music Campers are complete and this week will mark the close of these interviews. Newsworthy items such as interviews with Doug Clark and his combo and interviews with the members of the Dave Burbeck Quartet also highlighted the work of the special events department. Campus Radio was fortunate in re- ceiving a lend-lease gift of a Gates Sound Truck, for use during the next school year. This equipment will be Buc, Loveable Campus Mascot, To Observe First Birthday By BRYAN H. In a couple of weeks Buc, the col- lege mascot, will observe the first anniversary of his arrival on the campus. It was an exciting day, when Buc came. A big crowd gathered outside the College Union when his owner let him out of the station wagon. Johnny Hudson, who was president of the SGA, and Clint LeGette, who headed the committee to acquire a mascot, and a host of other students were on hand to shake the great dane’s paw. The first thing the boys did was take him out to Dora’s and buy him a beer. Buc lapped it up and we all cheered. At the time Buc was only four months old and he weighed only 50 pounds. He was shy. and his feet were wobby and he was afraid to walk up. the steps leading from the college union to the SGA office. He spent his first night here in Slay Hall much to the delight of the other students who showered Bue with too much attention. He spent a lot of nights in Johnny Hudson’s room. Bue was well-loved from the very first. He could be seen taking walks with his many trainers. The first trainer was Hugh Giles, who gave Bue his first walks, started his diet, and took care of him at the first football game. Bue had a difficult time getting used to football. First attempts to teach him to run out with the team were unsuccessful. And when the crowd cheered Bue dived for safety under the grandstand. HARRISON Bue loved the cheerleaders. They petted him and fed him peanuts. Once he had his picture taken with Betty Lane Evans, who was then Miss North Carolina. Buc’s house was constructed shortly before his arrival; his pen shortly after. From all appearances, the mas- cot has outgrown his living quarters. His present trainer, Ronnie Knouse, says that Buc now weighs 135 pounds, and when he stands up he measures 6 feet 8 inches. The big great dane eats six cans of dog food a day, 2 pounds of dry meal, and drinks two pails of water. Ronnie says, “Buc walks me at least a mile a day. He goes further than that.” When Buc first arrived, he couldn’t be trusted off the leash. One of his trainers, Bob Connelly taught him to go on the loose. Once some of the students became concerned over Buc during the big snowfall last winter. Howard Black received several phone calls from students urging him to take him indoors. But Buc was right at home in the snow, moreso in fact, than in the present humid weather. Buc has always been a source of pleasure to the students. He has been known to take an ite cream cone right out of a coed’s hand, and to knock a grown man down when play- fully jumping up on him. Buc is a year and four months old, happy and content, still playful as a puppy. He is the first mascot and a great credit to the school. used to feed programs to WWWS- FM, the educational section of Cam- pus Radio. So far as plans for next year go, attempts to merge with the college Radio Corp., to handle national ad- vertisments are being made. It is hoped that the College Radio Corp., will be able to furnish the school with a news machine, so that the students operated radio station will be able to keep the students up to date on all of the latest world events. CRC is also attempting to bargain with national advertisers to sponsor away football games, that will be played by the Pirates during the 59-60 foot- ball season. Present Station Manager Jim Kirk- land, is making arrangements with SGA for paid positions on the staff of the radio station next year, and hopes that Rudd Jensen, who will act as Station Manager for the first of the coming school year, will fol- low through on these plans. Kirk- land is leaving the Radio Station September 8, to assume a new posi- tion opened by the Publications Board as Photograhy Editor of the BUC- CANEER, college annual. Kirkiand stated that he has hopes that the completion of the installa- tion of Jones Hall for reception will be complete by the first of the 1959- 60 school year. “It’s been a lot of fun working with the staff of this very industrious group. Without a doubt, Campus Radio will become one of the more outstanding service or- ganization on the Campus of East Carolina,” Kirkland stated. ae Election To Be Held Tuesday One of four lovely co-eds will be crowned Queen of Summer School August 7, at the annual summer school dance. Jo Ann Bryan, Janet Arnold, Syl- via Capps, and Jackie Byrd have been nominated by campus organizations to contend for “queen of the hop.” “The Rhythmaires,” a 5-piece cam- combo managed by Jack Pindell, for the annual affair when nder way at 8:00 in Wright ditorium.

Miss Byrd is 21 years old and was a mem- ber of last spring’s May Court. A member of Delta Sigma Ghi, she is president of the ISC and a college marshal. “The Rhythmaires” include Frank Wilson, Ted Beach, E. W. Lee, Keith Dobbins, and Jack Pindell. Dance Elections Committee Chairman Don Griffin states that this band, al- though composed of EC students, has had a variety of experience and has played for many occasions. “I think this is probably the fin- est college combo we could get. One of the best I’ve heard anywhere,” said Griffin. NOTICE SGA President Bobbie Kennedy has announced her office hours as follows: 10-12:00 a.m.—Moa- day through Friday, 3-4:00 p.m. —Monday through Friday. PAGE TWO SSS Editorially Speaking An Educational Bargain We Americans are often criticized for not appreciating all that we have. This accu- sation is true, of course, human nature being such as it is, but it has made the United States one of the most hated countries in the world. Human nature or not, there is no ex- cuse for ingratitude. Take, for example, East Carolina Col- lege. It is a small school, insignificant against the multitude of other colleges and univer- sities, but important, nonetheless, to a small group of students in eastern North Carolina. ECC offers an educational bargain. The people who go there have no money to waste on expensive schooling. They are here to get an education and get it fast before the money runs out or the tobacco crop fails. Yet there are some who would criticize this school. Once in a while there is a misfit, some guy who wants the advantages of a larger school without paying for it. He tries to re- form. He tries to set up political parties in the SGA, to think up ways to entertain the students to keep them on campus on_ the weekends, to make ECC a “big time” school. It won't work. It will not work until a completely different class of students inha- bits East Carolina College. The students here are intersted in getting an education and little else. They go home every weekend main- ly because they must. There is the farm, the family business, or another job. To stay in school they have to go home. Therefore, because there is nothing any- one can do about existing conditions at ECC. be grateful for what there is and stop gri ing Is Bobbie 0. K.? The question has been raised: is Bobbie Kennedy qualified to be President of the SGA? dad The answer is unquestionably, yes. Although the constitution states that a student must be at least a third quarter jun- ior to run for president, we must remind the frustrated office seekers and constitutional hair-splitters that Miss Kennedy did not run for president, but for vice president, an of- fice which does not carry that particular qualification. Also the constitution plainly states that the vice president succeeds the president in his withdrawal. Miss Kennedy is not only legally quali- fied to be president, but she is far more able than any of the recent “they also rans” who re now raising the fuss. What’s more she’s a lot better looking than any of them. What Miss Kennedy plans to do or will as president remains to be seen, but we feel that most of the student body will enjoy watching her do it, rather than listening te weary old political harangue of the dissap- pointed office-seekers. case of East Carolinian Name changed from TECO ECHO November 7, 1952.

Summer Camp Is Subtle Ad For East Carolina By JEAN ANN WATERS East Carolina Coilege’s biggest ad- vertising project will end its second and last week Sunday with a big bang and a concert. The annual Music Camp attracts several hundred high school students per year and the num- ber increases steadily. These students, who in general have not made up their minds about which college they will attend or even thought about it, for that mat- ter, are silently brainwashed during their stay here. The very sublety of the campaign is its strongest factor. The main advantage is that most of them have never seen a college before, so East Carolina has the jump on other institutions in the state. Next, most of them come from small town or county schools. They see our large, new library, our air-conditioned band and choral rooms, and our mo- dern classrooms. They get a taste of the freedom of college life. Oh yes, don’t kid yourself. You have a darn sight more freedom now that you did in high school. This place looks mighty good to them. This college is big enough to be important, but small enough to main- tain the small town atmosphere. They like it here, and they remember that they liked it when the time comes to choose a college. The older campers, judging the school by the Music Department, look for competance in instructors, ade- quacy of facilities, and departmental standards. They have a chance to work with the various teachers, see if they like them, see how much they learn under them. The instructors must be on their toes for they can influence the campers for or against ECC. Meanwhile, the teachers are survey- ing the current crop of campers for potential talent, which they hope to lure into the ECC Music Department, eventually. The summer music camp is de- finitely a valuable program to East Carolina and it will benefit the col- lege in many ways. Being loyal members of the ECC student body, we up here in the EAST CAROLINIAN office will grit our teeth; try to ignore the trumpets on one side of us, the clarinets on the other, and the band below; and think of what this din is doing for dear old EC in the way of free publicity, and not what it is doing to our poor shattered minds. Which brings to mind a sign on our wall which reads, “Just because we think you think we don’t know what we're doing, don’t think we don’t think we don’t either.” We hear that Aladar Ecsedy, the sad-eyed Hungarian pianist who gave a concert here last Wednesday night, had reason to be gloomy. After pa- tiently listening to his performance of 12 variations on “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” the greater part of his audience left. The remaining few must have been children or asleep. The arboretum is finally bowing to progress. It is said that a wing is being built onto the new classroom building on the frontier of the ar- boretum and soon the road from Jones Dormitory will be extended across it. The football field, I sup- pose, will be the last to go. The international political scene isn’t as peaceful as that of the col- lege. Although our Student Govern- ment Association has done little more than appropriate money, one, person seems to be getting things done. Three cheers for the biggest sur- prise of the yean—Richard Nixon. He and Krushchev really had it out and strangely enough each claims that he wasn’t offended by the out- burst. Nixon with one eye on the presidential nomination seems to have accomplished more in a few days than the Geneva Conference did in weeks. Herter, too, seems to be doing an excellent job of not taking any fool- ishness from the Russian delegates. Let’s hope he can prevent them from making fools of us again. Since this is the final paper of the summer, I would like to take this op- portunity to thank my poor, over- worked staff who have been under terrific strain and pressure fr. «ix hectic weeks. This handful of a{uden's has worked long hours, each din - much more than his share. To one and all a sincere “Thank you.” Motion Picture Schedule August 4—Life Begins at 17. August 6—The Goddess.

I’ve writ- ten twice that many features, a couple of dozen editorials, and well over a huundred news stories. I’ve written out and I’m ready to go. As the song says, “I’ve been hanging around this old town toc long.” I’ve worked for five different edi- tors, four of them women, whom I’ve never gotten along with. I’ve seen seven SGA presidents come and go. My favorite editor was Jimmy Fer- rell. Bald-headed at twenty-two, he worried constantly, refused to agree with me on everything from how to write a column to what constituted good drama. He knew how to run a newspaper. He was a journalistic dictator. His word was law and you did what he said or took a powder. A mild-man- nered person, he ruled the EAST CAROLINIAN with an iron fist. He was an avid supporter of Ed- die Dennis when he ran for president against Jimmy Phelps. He told the staff we would vote for Dennis or else. We all went out and voted for Phelps, but never told him. Ferrell put out the best BAST CAIROLINIAN in the school’s history. He knew how to write and he knew how to teach others to write. I learn- ed everything I ever knew about uewspaper from Jimmy Ferrel. I only hope I’ve been a credit to him. Oliver Williams was on that staff, too. Oliver is Sunday editor of the ‘Rocky Mount Telegram now. If he continues in journalism, he will be a , great success. Those were the good old days, when the college was a happy place, the pre-old-yellow days. My favorite SGA president was Johnny Hudson. He was President last summer. He did more for the school in one summer than all the other six that I’ve seen did in three and half years. Johnny was a real screwball. He was the last guy on earth that you would think was an executive. Every- thing he did, he did with color and humor. I learned a lot about poiitics from Johnny, and a lot about living too. ; Johnny was a rare diplomat. He knew how to get the administration to go along with him. He never got Dean White to say yes on Bermuda shorts and he never got Raleigh’s Mayor Enloe to give East Carolina students a discount at Pitt theatre. But he got the school a wonderful mascot and achieved a brilliant re- cord in student government, and had a lot fun doing it. i My favorite actor and actress were Bubba Driver and Alice Ann Horne. Bubba Driver was a great performer, offstage as well as on. If you ever had a party, you would want to invite Bubba. He would whip ou the uke or the bongo drums and ecand more like Harry Belafonte than Harry Belafonte did. He was a na- tural wit, always laughing and smil- ing and acting. I never heard an un- kind word said about Bubba. Alice Ann Horne was simply the greatest. I wrote a feature on her when I was a sophomore and it was the best I ever wrote. Her everyday conversation was az lyrical as the By BRYAN HARRISON best of modern poetry. Alice Ann played many roles, but there was no sham about her. She was a natural born actress who kept you laughing every minute you were with her, and to talk with her five minutes put you in a good mood for the rest of the day. After this summer they will all be gone. They were great kids. All of them made a real and solid con- tribution to this school. They put everything they had into it and they got everything there was to get out of it. They will all go far, and East Carolina is a better place for their baving been here. There are a few more who have left their mark. One of the biggest was the one made by Billy Arnold, who left last winter and got drafted. Billy was one of those rare human beings who only come along once in a great while. He wrote twice as many columns for the EAST CARO- LINIAN as I did, and drew a car- toon almost every week for four years. Many people picked up the EAST CAROLINIAN just to see one of his cartoons. Billy could draw a cartoon, with that peculiar Arnoldian flavor with exhuberant characters, subtle wit, and gentle satire, in four minutes. I have never seen better cartoons in any college newspaper. Billy was always writing. He wrote short stories between classes, never satisfied with any of them. He would start novels and give them up. He could write a clever poem off the top of his head. He was one of the best-natured people you could ever meet. A smile in his eyes, quiet-spoken, sloppily dressed, he said he was a member of the dirty shirt school of writers. Billy was sports editor of the DAILY REFLECTOR, and later re- porter, the whole time he was in col- lege. Over here he always held down some editorial job on the EAST CAROLINIAN and he was co-editor of THE REBEL and one of its found- ers. Billy had a strange spirit. He al- ways reminded me of Ben in Look Homeward, Angel, a book which he dearly loved. When he left, he took a lot of East Carolina with him. My favorite campus character is Harold Leary. A good-natured, but sometimes hot-headed Irishman, he is undoubtedly one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and one of the best at heart. Harold has been here as long as I have and will be here after I’m gone. You can see him in the soda shop, probably in Bermudas, joking with every good looking babe that comes along. His conversation is usually mixed with a little German, which he learned in “Krautland,” a little “ECTC” slang, which he lets fly with a slight stutter. Since I’ve been in college I’ve had 13 roommates. I can’t even remem- ber some of their names. I guess my favorite one is the one I’ve roomed with longest. His name is Bobby Wells, ‘ Wella is a great practical joker. He puts shaving lather in my tooth- paste, and honey in my roll-on de- oderant. Once I had a date with a girl, and he set every clock in the house up, and I arrived two hours early thinking I was twenty minutes late. I guess over a hundred different soda shop girls have served me cof- fee in the mornings. There is only one who has been working back there as long as I’ve been here and I don’t know her name. Considering everything, I guess my favorite soda shop girl was Johnise Hardesty, who always smiled at me and everybody else even when the mob got thickest. Then there was that mad wild, happy crowd—the rebels. A grand- spirited they knew how to work hard and play hard. You could see them in the “little box” that was the (Rebel office, seated on desks and chairs and tables getting the maga- zine out, or you could see them in the Varsity, getting pleasantly in shape for the next issue, or over at Mr. Pierce’s place, getting educated: Dave Lane, Nancy Davis, Billy Arnold, Hugh Agee, Judy Bishop, Bob Harper, Nancy Lilly, Marty Kellam, Pat Smith, Tom Mims, Nelson Dud- ley, Mary Marshbourne, Woody Davis, Annette Willoughby, Betty Vic Gas- kins, John Filicky, Robert L. Harper, Sandra Mills, Rachel Steinbeck, John Butler, Mary Margaret Kelly, and Joe Swartz. Then the campus politicians must be mentioned. Mike Katsias, Jimmy Phelps, Bobby Hall (an old antago- nist, who goes, but somehow always pops back up), Bulldog Dyson, and Eddie Dennis. Most of them are gone now, too. My favorite campus politician was Stan Harper. A man who usually stayed in the background and con- trolled voters like a puppeteer, Stan was the brain trust behind the re- cent Dallas Wells campaign. Every technique, every gimmick, every method known to college elections, Stan explored. Last spring’s presidential battle was the most colorful event to hit the campus in many 8 year. A burro pulled a cart full of Dallas Wells and pretty girls over the campus, a new Cadillac and an A model Ford, hanging effigies, a flood of propa- ganda testified to his political genius, and every girl he could reach wore a flower on her blouse. He was only interested in results, and both his co-workers and his ap- ponents knew the meaning of hard work as a result of his shrewd plan- ning. I’m ready to go. I’ve seen enough now. And most of these people have heard everything I’ve got to say. I went in the new classroom build- ing the other day, and it felt cold and strange and too scientific. I have a fondness for warm old Austin with its crazy corridors and familiar worn stairways. The halls echo the names of many forgotten faces and absorbs the lost voices of all the successes and failure of fifty years of growing and learning. : I'm ready to go. All that I have known here is passing on and I’ve exhausted what this great place can do or me and I have worn out all my words singing its praines. crew, THURSDAY, JULY 80, 1989! James B. Mallory The EAST CAROLINIAN feels that tha college made a wise choice, one which wil prove popular, when they appointed Jameg! B. Mallory Dean of Men. The friendly, well-liked baseball coach has been here six years. He is well-known and respected by the men students on cam- pus. It is a fine thing when the college does not have to look for people off the campus to fill administrative vacancies when they can be filled by capable members of our own tea- ching staff. Already Coach Mallory has approached his new job in the best collegiate spirit when he stated that he was not going to wait for the students to come to him with problems but will try his best to approach the students as a friend, so that they will feel free to come to him whenever they need him. He will have the toughest of tough jobs It will require tact, courage, and intelligence Here is a “hats off to” Jim Mallory—and good luck! A Low-Water Mark East Carolina has reached the low-wat« mark in school spirit. Out of well over a doz en organizations on campus who could nomi- nate some co-ed to run for summer sch queen, four have chosen to do so. Although we feel that any one of these four could carry the honor with grace, believe that there are many more giris on campus who could successfully enter the com- petition. -— We hope this is not an indication of stu- dent enthusiasm over the summer school dance. If so, there will probably be too few people there to hold the dance. When students on this campus feel 1 ke supporting a dance, they can do it in grand fashion. We hope that many turn out at the dance and see the queen crowned. The Luckless Legion More than 2,800,000 Americans were drafted into the Luckless Legion of automo- bile casualties in 1958. In its annual highway safety booklet en- titled “The Luckless Legion”, The Travelers Insurance Companies pointed out. “This is an army of suffering humanity which grows more rapidly each year. It is made up of the injured and the dead, the heedless and the innocent, the young and the old. Since the automobile first appeared on the American scene, these ranks of the crippled and the dead have included more than 60,000,000 of ” us. The Luckless Legion is a silent, haunted army. We erect no monuments to it. No grim reminders mar the sleek beauty of the roads and highways which are its field of battle. A newspaper headlines, perhaps, marks the induction of the latest recruit. Then silence. Silent suffering. A lifetime of pain. Or the silent memories of those who mourn when the dead are laid to rest. There were 36,700 men, women and child- ren numbered among the dead of the Luck- less Legion during the past year. For every fatality there were 77 people who suffered painful injuries. Hour by hour and day by day, this total climbed until it reached the staggering total of 2,825,000. Injuries during the past year rose 12 per cent—twice the rate of increase for the pre- vious year. In the rising curve of injuries lies the greatest waste of property and human resources in our nation. Behind the lines of our efforts toward national progress, the Luckless Legion stands ag a vast fifth column. Statistics, pledges and slogans do not seem to change us. Something more is needed. During 1959, the Luckless Legion will be meeting in our community—on a stretch of highway, in a hospital room, in the morgue. You alone will know when the meeting time is near. In the temptation to bear down a little harder on the gas, to beat the dark- ness home, to test yoor reflexes when they are dulled by sleep or alcohol, to jay-walk on crowded streets, to forget caution when wea- ther and road conditions are bad. During 1959, every time you are behind the wheel of a car, remember that the Luckless Legion is looking for recruits. Don’t be one. It hag already been a long hot summer. The “Hot Nuts” have come and gone. Dave Brubeck was here again. Campus poli- ticians were lazy. (We'll blame it on the heat.) Too much was said of Earl Long. But next fall, the fireworks will start again. The EAST CAROLINIAN will have some news to print and their reporters can dig facts and quit writing fiction. This is our last issue, and so we—Jean Ann, Bryan, Gwen, Sherald, Marcelle, Alice, and Nam Young—wish you all a pleasant end-of-summer and a happy vacation. were SDAY, JULY 30, 1989 SPORTS CHATTER BY SHERALD WARD life with its many joys and sorrows do about?

Then in his Junior year the honor of being elected Captain came his way. Receiving his B. A. Degree from this college, Coach Widgeon took the coaching duties at Bailey, North Caro- lina where his girls’ basketball team went undefeated. His boys basketball team did not do quite as well but his baseball team had some good teams losing by low scores. Our man of the hour has a helping hand for during his college days he courted and married the former Miss Sylvia Allsbrook who holds a B. A. Degree and teaches the second grade in Bailey.

Un- der his code the day’ duties and the! individual’s station in life were care- fully prescribed. Like Buddha, he was intensely practical, and as with Budd- ha, he avoided speculative issues. He stressed the importance of ethics. Confucianism has much in common with Buddhism in its emphasis on compassion and gentleness, but type of Buddhism that entered Asia in- cluded precise teaching about the future life with its heaven and hells, whereas Confucianism is completely silent about a hereafter. To Confucius the whole duty of man consisted in preserving the right relationship toward his fellow human being. He was intensely conservative, and inculeated a great respect for SUMMER Y. PARK authority. He taught that life must be vigorous and positive, carried on ; with balance and moderation, and the avoidance of all extremes. Confucianism today is regarded as more educational than religious in nature. It was the basis of education of the noble class and a subject for examiniation. On the other hand, Buddhism is a tolerant belief, and the previously prevailing Shamanism and the native Deism had a good deal of influence on Buddhism practices. At the present time, Buddhism occupies an important position—not so much through numerical strength as through the influence it exerts over important members of community. Virginians, Diamond | Split Double-Header In Play Last week in the intramural lea- gue the Diamond Bandits, managed by Kelly Kee, took on Sherald Ward’s Virginians and each team came out with one loss and one win. The scores would make you think it was football for they were, 21-17, 15-11. The Scoffers, managed by John ‘ Phillips, split with the Has Beens, j managed by Don Harris and Charlie Adams. The scores were 6-2, 9-8. The Bombers under Jay Alphin took on the Barons under Dick Gerrish did just like the others, with scores of 9-2, 6-5. All these games were play- ed on Monday. Tuesday The ECC Yankees, man- aged by Ed Emory took on the Vir- Mexican Bullfighting Often Unappreciated By Americans By CLAUDIO ARMENDARIZ Many people have heard about bull- fighting but they have very little knowledge concerning this important sport in Mexico. The average Ameri- can has the idea that bullfighting is a gruesome sport which should not Le allowed. In case you had a chance to see a bullfight there is the possi- bility that you would not enjoy it as there is a large percentage of Americans who see bullfighting but do not enjoy this sport which is so every day to the Mexican people. But this stems from the lack of knowl- edge of this entertainment which so fascinates the Mexican people and continues to be their number one form of entertainment. Even as a little boy there is inbred the desire to become the famous Ma- tador just as every young Ameri- can boy has a desire to be like his favorite athlete. The young Mexican boy starts out early to work toward that end. Many boys around the age of eight or ten can be seen playing bullfight with every car which passes by in the streets of any town in Mexico. All the while he is thinking of the day when he will enter the arena and face the bull. Hearing the cheer- ing crowds as they wave to him from the stands is normal and average for the little Mexican of the street. Dreaming of the day when a fair young damsel will toss him a rose when he has beaten the bull. Crowds throng to the bullfights and the young ones are there to cheer their favorite as he meets up with El] Toro. Questions are fired by the young ones as they try to find out some more information which will help them along the way. Many carry the swords of the Matador and do what ever he wishes. Holding high the desire to be a Matador tends to leave some as they reach a more mature age just as we have seen our desire to become a professional football player as just one of pipe dreams fade away. But CU Activities The College Union will continue its program of special activities in the remaining weeks of the summer session with a college table tennis tournament to be held July 29, a duplicate bridge tourney August 8, and a bingo-ice cream party August 5. Other events scheduled are a water- melon party August 12, and a talent show August 13. Deadline for entries in the talent show is August 7. Au- gust 14 a social bridge party will be held, and August 17, Gene Lusk’s combo will wind up the summer dance entertainment with a combo dance. All these events are offered to East Carolina students at no charge and everyone is invited to attend.

Sonny Walker got 3 for 4 in the first, and 2 for 3 in the second, The Diamond Bandits took on the Bombers and found the Bombers to be too much for they were beat 19-6, 28-6. The Barons were victims of the Scoffers to the tune of 17-10, 6-3. Team Won Lost Bombers ECC Yankees Scoffers Has Beens Diamond Bandits Virginians Barons there are many who continue and work for the most part as extras at the rings around the country waiting for the day when they can get a big break. This comes in the form of a chance to fight in a small town where the bulls are small and the people aren’t as avid fans as they are in the} large cities. | Each Matador has his own style | of fighting and then it comes his{ turn to fight where the crowds are | large and the young senoritas are beautiful. Working hard and doing his best pays off for the young man in many ways as well as the glory he receives in the ring. Later as he has reached that pin- acle of success and to the cheers of 120,000 people he enters the ring of Mexico City for now his boyhood dreams have come true. As he fights the bull the cheers get louder for now is drawing near the time when | he finishes the bull and the battle is won, not only in the ring, but a battle of life has been won for the life long ambition has been obtained, that of fighting the bull in the great ring at Mexico City.

Has it been your pleasure to know a personable young man here at East Carolina in the past few years who prefers to be called “Sonny”? If so it is lik is li y that that young man is none other than Wilmer D. “Sonny” Wal- ker, who has the delightful ability to get along with lots of people. Claiming Plymouth, North Carolina as his home and attending high school started this young man on his way in life. Before he graduated in 1953 from high school he found time to play football, basketball and baseball. Then he entered East Carolina Col- lege where he was very active in the i rural leagues having a team own known as the “Bootleg- Most of this team were boys Plymouth and that area and they had teams in all the intramural sports. This team won one of the leagues in active play at times they were in contention and were two leagues at the time. At all fielded good teams. “Sonny” found time for other things in college besides sports. He was a member of Pi Kappa ‘Alpha Fraternity and was a charter mem- ber of this group, along with being a member of Alpha Phi Omega, which is a service fraternity, being social chairman for both. Gaining his B. S. Degree in 1957 Health and Physical Education while taking partin other forms of college life such as a member of the East Carolina Band as a drummer. Another form of music he partici- pated in was the Glee Club. Taking his first job at Benson, then his second year as coach at Sunbury High School where he coach- ed basketball and baseball. His team was second in the county and Coach Walker was proud of his boys and their play. Sonny will receive his Masters Degree at the end of summer school and as yet has not signed a contract for the coming year but is in the market for a good position. Along with this young man will come a second teacher for he is engaged to Miss Alene Watson who also holds a B. S. Degree from, East Carolina College. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Walker of Plymouth, North Carolina. from There were 24,830 pedestrians in- jured crossing intersections with the signal in their favor during 1958 in the United States.

Much Enjoyment To SS Students By MARCELLE VOGEL The College Union has done much this summer to add to the entertain- ment and enjoyment of the Summer School students. The numerous watermelon cuttings they had were always looked forward to by the students. The hot days never seemed so bad if there was a watermelon cutting in the afternoon to break the heat. Another cutting is scheduled for Tuesday the 18th at 3:00 p.m. The bingo and bridge parties given in the evenings are another of the CU's accomplishments. Every Wed- nesday evening at 7:30 a beginner bridge class is also held. On the 5th of August another bingo party is planned, and on the 14th there will be a bridge-party. This summer for the first time, the CU sponsored an invitational ta- ble tennis tournament, which con- sisted of players from 3 states. On Sundays the swimming pool is open to everyone for recreational swimming from 2:30 to 4:30. This is another CU project. This summer they also purchased a tandem or a “bicycle built for two”. Now there are five bicycles for the students use. The last combo dance will be from 7:30 to 10:15 on Monday the 17th. Gene Lusk and his combo will fur- nish the music. Also coming up on the CU calen- dar is the Talent Show scheduled for Thursday the 13th at 7:00.
