Number 2 Senate Approves New Budget Unanimously Buecaneer Will Honor New Queen Euclid Armstrong, editor of the 1960 Buccaneer, has announced that something new will be added to the yearbook this Spring. Two pages of the upcoming edi- tion will be devoted to the “Buc- caneer Queen” who will be selected for the first time in school history this year. The queen will be chosen from many candidates whose names were submitted this week by the hon- crary, professional and social frater- nities and sororities on campus. Deadline for contest admission was Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Armstrong said that the voting, which will be handled by the elec- tions committee, will take place in the student union Friday, but the queen would not be announced until distribution of yearbooks the spring. The only other similar effort ever to appear in the annual college pub- lication was the “Bucaneer King” in ; who was chosen for the first time in 1957 and has not been elected since. Armstrong commented, “Notwith- standing the theme of the book itself,} we feel that this is one of our major innovations.” The “Buccaneer Queen,” aside from being honored as such in the book, will receive a trophy with her name |* engraved on it as an added tribute. Theta Chi Will Conduct Rush Theta its Chi fraternity will conduct annual fall upperclassmen rush on Monday and Tuesday. All upper- classmen and transfers are invited to attend. The rush party will take place Monday night in the Alumni Build- ing from 7-10:00 p.m. On the agenda will be the following: the introduc- tion of all the Theta Chi brothers to the rushees, a small jam_ session, refreshments, and an informing ses- sion dealing with Theta Chi frater- nity. During the second night all inter- ested rushees will be given a tour of the Theta Chi section in Jones Hall te see how a fraternity works and lives together successfully. Also in- cluded are informative question and answer sessions, after which every- one will return to the Alumni House where they will be entertained Pi Kappa sorority.

Approximately one month ago, Dr. MeNiel was returning from the Bel- n Congo where she worked in mis- sion centers and, used her knowledge to benefit the people of Africa. As a member of Jarvis Memorial Methodist Church Dr. MeNiei and the entire congregation were invited to correspond with a missionary couple in the Belgian Congo whom the church has been helping to support for near- ly two years. Dr. MeNiel corresponded with them frequently and during this relation- ship she was asked to come and help them with child care and nutrition. After considerable thought Dr. Me- Niel decided to offer her services and make the trip. Jarvis Memorial sup- plied substantial aid for her journey. On her way to Africa Dr. McNiel stopped in Germany where she spent five days with Perey Evans, who is stationed-in Kaiserlautern, and his wife, Gretchen, who is a graduate of the E.C. Home Economics Depart- ment. After this short visit she traveled on to Kindu, a city in the Congo with a was the berief answer. population of approximately 30,000. Here she stayed with the Reverend ‘nd Mrs. Kenneth Jones and their Jeffrey and Bruce at the mis- center, “As a guest in their home,” explained Dr. MeNiel, “ I found their home to be very nice and quite comfortable.” During her interesting stay, Dr. McNiel helped with Vacation Bible School. Here she concentrated on teaching new games and songs to the rursery teachers. “Teaching new things,” stated Dr. MeNiel, “was quite difficult because they had to be translated into Swahili, an African language.” She spent two days in Acera, Ghana, where the new campus of the University of Ghana is located. Ac- cording to Dr. McNiel, most West Africans have not gone beyond secon- dary school. “One of my accomplishments,” ex- plained Dr. MeNiel, “was the com- pletion of a stove in the home of one of the African families. All of the women cook on stones, outside the homes. So,” continued Dr. MeNiel, “this is possibly the only African home in Kindu that has a chimney. I hope that after the others see this new facility, there wil! be more and more stoves buiit in the town.” After finishing the stove, Dr. Mc- Niel did food demonstrations show- ing new ways to prepare foods and made suggestions on improving the nutriticnal value.

About 40 people are assign- ed to the village and work at the radio station. “A new 50 thousand watt transmitter is being installed,” announced Dr. McNiel, “and when completed should be able to reach the greater part of Africa. They have a good library of records and many religious tape recordings in the many African dialects.” Most of the African homes are made with mud and bamboo. The roofs are thatched with grass or banana leaves; but several of the people are modernizing and building simple brick and stucco houses. Like China, the main food on the menu is rice, which is eaten at least once a day. Meat is comparatively scarce. “It is not unusual for the Africans te eat peanuts and bananas for break- fast,” stated Dr. McNiel. | many treasures (displayed above).

Background Nikita Khrushchev winds up a whirl- wind tour through the United States this week and begins a series of private talks with President Eisenhower. Peoples of this country have followed the tour closely, grabbing newspapers greedly to see what this unpredictable character has done or said now. Nikita has had a more or less one man show with Walter Reuther, the Defense Department, Henry Cabot Lodge, a few politicians, and Shirley McLaine up- staging now and then. A superb actor who can play any role well, Niki held babies, went to visit a long- shoreman’s hall, pouted when he couldn’t visit Disneyland, made fun of aforementioned Mr. Lodge, and snarled at politicians, Walter Reuther and his crew, and reporters who asked the wrong questions. In speaking to a group of dock workers, he affectionately referred to them as “‘com- rades.”” He explained to them that workers in Russia could strike if they wanted to, but they never did because they knew their gov- ernment would look after them. He accused the United States of back- ing out of or slowing down on the cultural exchange program between this country and the U.S.S.R He could be tactless and honest or he could be kind and complimentary. He express- ed the idea several times that “our ideas are rreconcilable.” But at all times before the “people” he was charming and jovial. Phroughout the entire tour he was pull- ‘ted arguments. They came fast and quick. And he either won his point or quit while he was ahead.

One room is for trials and the other is for the defendants to await trial. Having a permanent place for trials and the like may not sound like much, but for the little group of justices who have been shifted around from room to room, it marks a step up. And a step up they need. It seems these groups have never receiv- ed the prestige or authority which they de- serve, or should deserve. The Judiciaries are not appreciated by the student body. And they should be. Remember govern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people. And also “for he shall have a trial by a jury of his peers.” We hope to carry, in the future, listings of trials by the two Judiciaries (without names) to let the students know more about these two bodies and how they work.

Early reports from the Registrar’s office indicate that the student pop- ulace has continued its “growth pro- cess,” which was launched under the guidance of the administration head- ed by Dr. J. D. Messick. The familiar student cycle of extra- activities launched with the passage of the new student organizational budget by a unanimous vote of the Student Senate. Under the guidance of SGA trea- surer Charles Dyson, original re- quests for approximately ninety thousand dollars were sliced to the final grant of $79,793.80 for the com- ing year. The difficult task of cutting appro- priation requests falls in the hands of the student government budget com- mittee. Their guide for arriving at proper appropriations is basically patterned from the knowledge of how much money will be available in the general student fund. Early fi- gures based on enrollment expecta- tions and surplus funds from last year were estimated in the neighbor- hood of $90,000. A reserve of 10% curricular was back seeable financial problems during the to cover expenses and unfor- current year completes the structural financial requirements for the com- mittee. Several members of the Student Sen- ate voiced their disapproval over at- tempts by some of the organizations to raise salaries for members holding key positions. The majority of opin- ions stated felt that too much empha- s was being placed on the salary instead of the, honor and recognition involved in holding the individual position. A recent survey of the United States National Student Association, the largest representative student organ- ization in the country dealt with this same subject. The results showed that an overwhelming majority of the schools interviewed paid little or no salary for extra-curricular student positions. It appears that the student body as a whole knows little of the salary offerings associated with paying po- sitions. Future attempts at salary in- creases need to be spotlighted and closely examined He Booted That Ball ‘Way Out’ By KAY McLAWHON “Stand up and cheer for East Caro- lina... ” That’s just what I kept trying to do Saturday night stand up! But there I was at 30 feet on the 50 yard line welded, no, the word is definitely squashed, with my arms cramped in front of me like I hadn’t had my polio shots yet. It made a sardine feel like he was packed in a penthouse. This fella next to me says, “Hey honey, are you deformed or did they buy you that way?” I started to tell that two-hun- dred pound can of crisco with the square lid just what I thought of him, but I was interrupted by the scream- ing masses yelling, “Basses scored again! Look at that road-runner go- like man, I mean beep-beep—he was cutting out.” Twinkletoes Thacker got in plenty of kicking practice — a few more touchdowns and he probably could have booted the ball out to Dora’s. Everyone of the Pirates gave Swash- buckling performances and we are all proud of each and every member of the team. I’m a bad loser anyway, and it’s so much more fun to win. Nobody has as much fun as the spectators. They can watch the game out of the corner of one ear and still blast off a party in the bleachers. Like I mean... pass the spoon my pepsi needs stirring. If the team was in rare form, the fans were rare-er! The middle cheering section repre- sented every fraternity and sorority this is not to be those who will scoff on campus, and scoffed at by anyway. At The K.A.’s had a Confederate flag flying which made that ragged Rus- sian flag handing off the moon look sick. And the Sigma Nu’s had... well never mind what they had, but they’ve got it man, like I mean there’ll never be a bigger Sigma Nu. The cheerleaders were the best I have ever seen since I’ve been here; they have really got the spirit and plenty of energy, and anybody who won’t yell at a ballgame should stay home and watch Lawrence Welk on television. The band be praised to high heavens for playing Dixie and all that Peter Gunn music. But did you ever see such versatile majorettes? They can strut, slink, wiggle, and walk away with honors for outstand- ing performances. The team was terrific and the fans were lingering, and that is business, spe!led B_I_ N E_S in the man’s language.

PAGE FOUR East Carolina Plays Confere fe ee ere PROT ITAA TAA -PTRATE?’ DEN By JOHNNY HUDSON peste ceeorescecccceccoceccecectece cs sss Short stuff from the den Saturday night’s game between East Carolina and ‘Albright was proclaimed as one of the most successful home openers here in many years. Interest in the club was at a peak, even after the loss at Presbyterian, and over 5,000 jammed College Stadium for the gala opening. There is little doubt that the crowd didn’t get their money’s worth. Coach Jack Boone’s contingent had a field day, sending six touchdowns across the stripes and making one of the biggest offensive showings here in many a day. The Pirate backs looked good and the line play was fierce. The home opener got a lot of attention from the town folks. One commented that they could usually hear the band and the drum roar but Saturday night was the first time they had heard the student body making any noise. A good sign at last. One Group Makes Noise Down through the years, although we sometimes fail to notice it, one certain group has stood out in our cheering section.| It is the ECC band. Not only do they provide a halftime show, the music, but they also pro- vide the leadership in the cheering section. Across the field, it is easy to hear them and they stand out above the rest of the crowd. Our HATS OFF to you, Mr. Carter, and the band. Wish the fans would be seated when announcing the starting lineup for the Pirates. The response Saturday was poor.

Pirates Trounce Albright 45-0 For First Win Of East Carolina, headed by the half- back duo of Glenn Bass and Sonny Basinger, produced a bone-crushing ffense here Saturday night to thrash game but outclassed Albright eleven, 45-0. For the Pirates, it was their big- offensive outburst since 1953. A crowd of 5,000 filed out of College Stadium still raving over the new-found strength on the East Carolina football scene. The capacity crowd came to ECC’s home opener expecting to see a close game and an ECC offense based upon of halfback James All-Conference star in a gest the running Speight, an 1957 Speight turned in his usual steady performance but it was Glenn Bass, a Wilson speedster, and Sonny Ba- singer, .a Wingate Junior College transfer, that the headlines the Pirates’ victory of the young season. Bass sent the locals out in shortly after the opening ki when he dashed around left end for 32 yards and pay-dirt. Jerry Car- penter booted the point and a parade of ECC touchdowns was underway. Using speed as his big weapon, Bass slashed off his left tackle and was gone again for 90 yards and second ECC touchdown minutes Carpenter again booted the reaped in first the later point. Basinger moved |into the spot- light in the fading moments of the initial half when he took a Ralph Zehring pass, followed his blocking perfectly and raced 32 ‘yards for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was missed but ECC left at inter- mission with a 20-0 margin. Speight took charge in the second half and along with the plowing plunges of Mac Thacker, carried the locals to scoring turf. The latter finally bucked over from the one for the touchdown. Zehring found Walkie Hanford loose in the end zone for a two pointer. Basinger was once again on the spot when he took an Albright punt on his 25 and picked his way up field for 75 yards and another touch- down.

Carter, the “largest we’ve ever had.” The Band has been engaged since early this month in rehearsals for half-time shows at football games, for the big Homecoming Day, for Alumni parade October 10, for its annual spring tour, and for other programs. Frank E. Bullard, president, heads 2 group of officers who are in charge of activities of the ensemble. Serving with him are J. C.

The Bucs open their loop cam- paign fresh from a 45-0 victory over Albright College last Saturday night. ECC had opened the season the pre- vious week by dropping a one point lead in the final four minutes to lose to Presbyterian, 18-13. Now the Bucs will try to take over where they left off last season— | against the. Quakers. ECC caught the Guilford club here in the final game of the season and after scor- ing on the first play of the game j went on to record a 20-0 victory. It will be a different story this year. Coach Jack Boone tackles his | conference foe at a bad time. With| a surprising 27-0 shocker over Elon, the Quakers have confidence and will be playing on home soil, always a good advantage. Coach Bill McDonald, ECC assist-| ant coach, scouted the Quakes in their victory and warned the Pirate | club that “they are tough.” “They | }are average size, quick, and have | Donald. | | The 1959 talent-laden band of} | Pirates will be trying to preserve | . “Jack Boone tradition.” Since tak-| ing over as head mentor here in 19. 2, | | Boone has not dropped a title to ie Quakers in 5 outings. | The local club came out of the Al-| bright in physical con fray good at the | dition and center Chuck Gordon, out] H« for the past two weeks, was slated | back full gear, for | work. | to be in ready rough Slated to work at the ends will be | ' | Bill Cain and David Thoma: |non Davis and Ed Emroy at ta Kles; | | Jim Gordon and Wayne Davis at the} | guards and Lynn Barnett at center. | Glenn Bass and James Speight} | will open at the halfbacks and Mac | Thacker at fullback.

Coach Earl Smith, who has served line coach for Bue football teams, as well as an assistant coach in bas- ketball and baseball, will relieve Howard Porter as head basketball this year. | It will be no new undertaking for | Coach Smith, for along with serving Porter’s a: tant, he held down the head basketball coaching position here earlier. A glimpse at the outlooks for the coming season reveals very little ex- perience. With only two seasoned vet erans on the squad—lIke Riddick, a senior, and Don Smith, a junior—it looks as though Coach Smith has his work cut out for him. Also return- ing from last year’s squad are junior lim Hall, and sophomores Dave Star- rett, Benny Howes, and Charlie Lewis. Together with a crop of talented freshmen headed by Lawrence “Cot- ton” Clayton, Coach Smith hepes to mold this into a successful team and a successful season. one as coach as ‘Delicious Food Served 24 Hours Air Conditioned CAROLINA GRILL Corner W. 9th & Dickinson good team speed,” pointed out Me-{ CAROLINIAN EAST New Season | CO-CAPTAIN Ed Emory is shown breaking through the paper hoop in- troducing a new home season for the Pirates.

The need for more classrooms and more teachers grows more desperate daily. But classrooms, alas, do not spring up like mushrooms—nor teachers like May flies. So what must we do while we build more classrooms and train more teachers? We must get better use out of the classrooms and teachers we now have. That’s what we must do. This column, normally a vehicle of good-humored foolery, will today forsake laughter to examine the crisis in higher education. My sponsors, the makers of Philip Morris Cigarettes, as bonny a bunch of tycoons as you will see in a month of Sun- days, have given cheerful consent to this departure. Ch, splendid chaps they are—the makers of Philip Morris, fond of home, mother, porridge, the Constitution and country fiddling! ‘Twinkly and engaging they are, as full of joy, as brimming with goodness, as loaded with felicity as the cigarettes they bring you in two handy packages—the traditional soft pack and the crushproof flip-top box.

(An added benefit to be gained from this suggestion is that once you speed up waltz time, campus proms will all be over by ten p.m. With students going home so early, romance will languish and mar- riage counsellors can be transferred to the Buildings and Grounds Department. Also, houses now used for married students can be returned to the School of Animal Husbandry.) ALGEBRA—If X always equals twenty-four, much time consuming computation can be eliminated. : DENTISTRY —Skip baby teeth—they fall out anyhow. POETRY —Amalgamate the classics. Like this: Hail to thee blithe spirit Shoot if you must this old gray head You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog Smiling, the boy fell dead You see how simple it is? Perhaps ideas of your own.
