The program includes a campus tour instigated by the Student Gov- ernment Association, and Open House in Umstead and Jones Hall, a “dutch” dinner in the Jones Hall Cafeteria, and the East Carolina- Appalachian football game. The campus tour will begin at 2 velock p.m. SGA officers will con- duct these tours to the library and classroom buildings. From 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. the “Dutch” dinner in Jones Hall will take place at 5:45 p.m. Ending the day’s events will be the football game at 8:00 p.m. ” The dinner is $1.25 and football tickets are $2.00.

Finally convinced that he would not alter his decision, various members rose to offer final tribute. Mr. Her- bert Waldrop of Greenville, present chairman, said, “We needed a leading educator with vision, ability to build a superstructure on the already great foundation, including the expansion of the pk nl facilities, acquiring an increasingly greater faculty and staff, and an organizer who could keep abreast of the times with personnel, curricula and instructional adequacy. All of this you have done.” “It is with a heavy heart that we receive this news from our dearly beloved president. For 12 years, we have received a magnificent job,” commented Henry Belk of Goldsboro, oldest service. After accepting the resignation, Waldrop appointed a nominating -ommittee composed of the following Charles Larkins of Kinston, Henry Belk of Goldsboro, and Henry Oglesby of Washington, D. Cc.

To you Dr. Messick we offer these writings in appreciation for all you have done for us, the student body. East Carolina Loses Excellent President After 12 years as President of the state’s fastest growing college, Dr. John D. Messick has announced his retirement. As the names Dr. Messick and East Carolina College have become synonomous, one finds it hard to imagine how things will be after January 6. uring his administration the college enrollment has spurted to 4045 this fall as compared with 1404 in 1947 when he arrived. The number of faculty members has tripled with the growth of the student body. Eleven new buildings have been added. Approxi- mately 80 acres of land have been purchased. As the curriculum of the college expanded her ever-growing student body, the of the school was changed in 1951 East Carolina Teachers College to East ina College. Under Dr. Messick’s leadership the col- lege hus added academic majors to its pro- vram. A master’s degree in counselor train- ing and library science is now offered. ffl On the undergraduate level, two-year curricula in forestry, agriculture, wood tech- nology and pulp and paper technology have been added. Pre-optometry and pre-pharmacy courses have been added to the professional pre- paratory courses since Dr. Messick’s arrival. There is also a special education program at the college now. The annual operational budget of the school has increased from $1,028,960 to $3,666,850. All of the hard, cold facts listed above speak for themselves in proving that we are losing one of the .nartest, most valuable men in this state. The facts prove that he has accomplished what probably no other man could have done. By pouring himself heart and soul into his work, he built a little teacher’s college into one of the finest places of learning in the state. But there is more witness to Dr. Mes- sick’s fine work besides the facts. There is a smile, a warm handshake, a friendly hello. Above all Dr. Messick has been a friend to the students. In many instances he felt out student opinion and tried to give them what they wanted. He greatly aided their cause when they expressed a desire for social fra- ternities. Dr. Messick is a warm man, Having lived in Greenville all of our life, we can’t remember « time when we didn’t know and respect him ag did all the people in our com- munity. We can’t remember a time when he wasn’t friendly, patient. Our President has not only been a leader in the field of education, but also in the religious and civie affairs of the area. He is a man who will not only be missed in this college community or in Greenville, but in the whole state of North Carolina. He is a great man because he cared. with name from Caro East Carolinian Published by the students of East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina Member Columbia Scholastic Press Association Associated Collegiate Press Intercollegiate Press North State Conference Press Association Entered as second-class matter December 3, 1925 at the U.

Jim Trice Wayne Morton, Theta EAST CABOLINIAN _ Teachers Deserve Larger Salaries By BRYAN HARRISON It goes without saying that the attitude of the State of North Caro- lina toward education doesn’t always make good sense. The old running fight between school teachers and legislators has gone far enough; at least, the school teachers have gone as far as they can go. When we realize that half the graduates in this college do not teach in North Carolina after graduation, we begin to wonder what is happen- ing to our state in the field of edu- cation. It is possible for a person living in Virginia to come to East Carolina and get a teaching degree cheaper than he could at home, then return home and teach with a higher salary than he can get in North Carolina. And many do. So North Carolina is in the awk- ward position of paying half the cost of the education of many Virginia schoo] teachers. Those EC graduates who do remain in the state first try to land jobs in the large metropolitan areas where their pay is subsidized by city school systems. Naturally, the best qualified vet the best jobs. So that leaves Narth Carolina in the position of offering a better edu- cation to the children who live in cities than it does to those who ride the familiar orange school bus. It doesn’t necessarily follow that a child in Charlotte should have better, or even better paid, teachers than a child in Frog Level. There is only one way to keep our teachers from going to Virginia and Florida and other professions. And that is to simply raise their salaries and equalize salaries all over the state. There are many other problems of which should be solved lative-wise that cannot be so simply solved and even the problem of raising pay has its complications. It would do well for educational lead- ers to look into these complications before they begin again to yell for higher pay. The biggest obstacle lies in the fact that the state will have to find new sources to satisfactorily raise teacher salaries. Here are some of the alternatives the state must face when raising ad- ditional revenue: It can raise the sales tax, it can sink a bond issue, or it can eliminate sales tax exemp- tions. We have been taxed to death as it is, we have sunk bond issues until we're sunk. The other method is practical and will not be felt so heavily by the state taxpayers. Now that an election year is des- cending upon us, and likewise hope- ful office seekers, it would pay us well to listen to the words of the men who have constructive ideas and practical solutions. There are those already who have made many vague and general state- ments about education, such as how bad off we are in the field of educa- tion and how much we need to im- prove education in North Carolina. We don’t need politicians to tell us this; no one is more aware than us how bad off we are in the field of education. We need men who can give us concrete and constructive solutions rather than meaningless rhetoric and tiresome political lip service. The man who offers a sound and concrete solution to these problems is the man who will provide leadership in the fight for education in the next general assembly. Needless to say, that man, for whatever it’s worth, will get my vote. cation JOSS "] FINALLY GOT A BLIND DATE : FE CAN EVEN STAY — Politics Focus FOR YOUR FRIENO HERE OUT FAST CLOSING HOURS.” On Campus By MIKE KATSIAS Politics have undergone a wel- comed reform in the last few weeks here on the Greenville campus. The political activity becomes more ap- parent with each passing day. You can hear the names being mentioned wherever a crowd ga- thers ... “the front-runner is La.- kins.” In other corners either the name Sanford or Hewlett dominates the debate. It has been reliably rumored that each of the potential candidates for state governor has cast a hungry- look in the direction of East Caro- lina’s ever-growing educational] in- stitution. They are well aware of the po- tential influence our students can wield on their behalf over the minds of youthful voting elements through- out the state in the gubernatorial race. Each year as more recognization is focused on the college, its representa- tives grow in prominence. Already, a number of alumni of East Carolina are assuming important positions in state politics. It would not be sur- prising to see an East Carolina man emerge as the recipient of an im- portant state position as a result of his efforts in the coming campaign for the winning side. This possibility is indicative of the growth of the institution in all facets of education. The college needs strong political supporters who are well-versed with its immediate needs. Through their efforts and influence, the visioned “place in higher learning’ may yet become a reality. By 1965, the school could easily reach an enrollment of 17,000 stu- dents. University status is another seriqus consideratiom to place on the agenda for the near future. Even though we are young com- pared to some of the other North Carolina academic citadels, there is still no need to place a “brake” on our ability to obtain what is right- fully ours! Reflection and interest on the coming campaign should be encour- aged. ‘An enlightened campus citi- zenry will be very influential in the final outcome. Nation’s Economy Takes Bow By JAMES M Events in the Steel Industry dur- ing the last few months have caused some leading economists to take a second look at the economic principles they so sternly advocate. Supposedly, a work stoppage in any major in- dustry, especially the Steel Industry, will have a devastating effect upon the entire economy. Theoretically, wholesale unemployment will plague the country as the demand for goods and services suffers a sharp decline. Consumers will place as much of their earnings as possible in savings, removing from circulation a great amount of currency. To a degree, these theories have become actualities. But not to the extreme many economists believed they would. Unemployment naturally has taken place in the Stee] Indus- try itself, and also in related in- dustries dependent to a large part upon steel production. In most cases, however, the layoffs resulted from lack of raw materials and not from lack of demand. The Gross National Product of the nation decreased dur- ing the last few weeks. This too can be attributed to material shortage rather than consumer reluctance to buy. The argument is often heard that . CORBETT the steel stockpiling before the strike began has kept the nation’s economy from suffering. This is true, but the fact that Steel recognized the pending strike in time to build up a supply large enough to last for so long is one of the practical aspects many economists failed to consider. Many economic forecasters place a sustained strike and an economic re- cession in the same category. The current situation disproves this to a large extent. The contrast in public opinion offers the biggest difference between the two situations. In a re- cession, no one can foretell the length. Thus, consumers adopt a “wait and see” attitude toward major purchases. This in itself prolongs and intensifies the condition. Qn the other hand, the public believes a major strike can last for only a short time. Therefore, skepticism never prevails for a long time. The points brought out here cer- tainly are not drastic enough to cause a gross revision of all econo- mic textbooks. It does point up the fact, however, that an unplanned eco- Nomy cannot be subjected to a slide rule with all results conforming to a specified set of principles. im- Era Closes Student Gives Final Tribute By ROY MARTIN “The heights of great men, reach- ed and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept were toiling upward in the night.” These words from Henry Wads- worth Longfellow’s “The Ladder of St. Augustine,” vividly describe Dr. John D. Messick, beloved President of East Carolina College, signed this past Friday. East Carolina has been indeed for- tunate to have such a man as Dr. Messick at the helm of its ship of progress. He has guided this ship from the depths of insignificance in- to the spotlight of prominence. Each building rising from the grassy lawns has in its structure, part of this man’s courage, integrity, and foresight. Since his resignation last Friday, Dr. Messick’s brilliant record as an educator and public servant has been heralded everywhere. This record can be paralled only by the man himself. It has been said that a man’s success is, in part, measured by his friends. If this is true, then our Dr. Messick is one of the most successful men in the world, for his friends are countless. What is it about this man that has won him the unqualified friend- ship of so many? One has but to meet him and realize the answer to this question. The broad smile, the warm handshake, these are the quali- ties that have made friends for him wherever he has gone. It makes no difference where one might meet this man. On campus, in his office behind the big mahogany desk, or in the presence of notables, nothing changes, the elements are still there. Dr. Messick’s resignation, in a way, brings a shadow of sorrow to envelop East Carolina. He has not only be- come a part of the history of this institution, but also, in reality, he has become the symbol of East Caro- lina College. His absence will create a void difficult to fill. Among his greatest friends, Dr. Messick ean count the graduates of this college, past and future. The lives which they enjoy now, or will enjoy are due to his unceasing ef- forts. Many will forever be indebted to him. It hasn’t been easy, these past twelve years. There have been times when disappointment prevailed and despair crept in. There have been un- pleasant moments, things one would like to erase from his memory. It has taken a great deal’of dedication and valor to withstand such pressure. Although we would like to think that Dr. Messick belongs solely to us, this is just an idle dream. Such a man as this can only belong to the masses. There is much more work to be done, much more knowledge to be spread. January 6, 1960, he leaves East Carolina. His leaving marks the close of a glorious era in education, ser- and predominantly a glorious era in the evolution of this college. So, to you, Dr. John D. Messick, from a grateful people, a reluctant fare- well and Godspeed. who re- vice, Doris Peel: Each of us has to learn that it’s no true gift to have another say: “Beside you, nobody else matters—” since the only tribute to be trusted in life is, im the end, the one that means: “Because of you, all others in some way matter more.” —The Christian Science Monitor. Letters Comment On School Spirit, Meetings, ‘Buc’, Fraternities Dear Editor: Thank you for the article, re-print- ed in your paper, East Carolinian, called “Social Drinker Causes Acci- dents.” As a reader of your paper (my husband is a faculty member), I appreciate your work towards eras- ing ignorance—our biggest expense. Sincerely, Frances Stuart To the Editor: I have for many years read with interest the editorials and the com- ments of the columnists in the East Carolinian bemoaning the lack of school spirit at East Carolina, and it occurred to me that perhaps I might be permitted to express an opinion on the subject. It seems to me that schoo) spirit grows and develops from a feeling of pride in the college, and pride prompts the student body and faculty to always want to put their best foot forward in everything that relates to the college, whether it is con- cerned with our athletic teams, with our musical organizations, with our representation in state- and nation- wide ‘student organizations, or even in so simple a thing as the appear- ance of the campus to us and to visitors to the college. Have you been aware of the trash that is tossed everywhere on the campus — much of it within reach- ing distance of one of the many re- ceptacles provided so we can deposit the trash with a minimum of effort? I should very much like to see one of the fraternities, as a service proj- ect, accept the responsibility of spearheading a “Keep Our Campus Clean” campaign — not just to clean it up once but to make everyone con- nected with the college active in keeping our best foot forward. Audrey V. Dempsey Business Faculty Dear Editor: On Monday, the 19th of October, the freshmen were called to a fra- ternity meeting at Austin at 7:30. The Danforth Foundation presented the Hon. Charles Porter at the Joy- ner auditorium. The SGA presented the very able Mr. Richard Cass at the piano in Wright auditorium. Granted, the SGA and the Danforth Projects are wonderful additions to our life on campus, and the fraterni- ties could make good use of them- selves; but how is one to attend all of the worthy gatherings? The blame lies nowhere that it can be accredited to. It is the responsi- bility of these different groups to schedule their projects so that the student who wishes may fulfill him- self as he sees fit. Please gentlemen, don’t cause us to miss out on such as we have just seen. Very sincerely yours, Whit Joyner Jones 184 Dear Editor, In the October 8 issue of the “East Carolinian”, Mr. Walker made the statement in his column that “a strong fraternity system can liter- ally run a campus.” This is true, but in my opinion, no campus should be run by fraternities. Our campus or any other campus should be run by the student body as a whole. I would like to ask the question, “Why do campuses sometimes fall under the rule of fraternities?” and I think the answer is student apathy and the outright laziness of the mem- bers of a student body. When we become so cheap that we don’t even take the time to vote in elections, then we are not even worth the dirt from which we are made. The reason that many countries are taken over by Communism is the lack of interest of the people. When people become too unconcerned with polities and elections, they must pay with blood, sweat and tears. I am a non-member supporter of fraternities and I realize that the fraternities on our campus are mak- ing many valuable contributions. However, it seems to me that it is time for our student body to wake up and run its own campus, or don’t we have the guts and initiative to stand up and maintain that little power that is ours? Sincerely, George Ray Dear Editor: We have read criticism on the care and. feeding of “Buc,” the college mascot. For the information of the interested parties, “Bue’s” daily diet consists of about 12-15 Ibs. of meat. His girth is in his chest and his weight is 120.

Porter Analyzes Latin American Revolution “An epic revolution is under way in Latin ‘America,” Congressman Charles O. Porter of Oregon said Tuesday. “We must help channel it in the right direction.” Speaking under the sponsorship of the Danforth Foundation Project at the college, Mr. Porter discussed “Central and South America: Nascent Democracies” as he concluded a series of four addresses made at the col- lege.this week. Helping nascent democracies in Latin America is one of the great op- portunities offered this country in its relationships with neighbors to the South, Mr. Porter stated. We must, he said, stand strongly for democracy by adopting negative policies toward dictators. We must refuse to help them, he explained, while at the same time we must pre- serve “correct but cool” diplomatic relationships with them. On the positive side, he declared, help to the nascent democracies struggling to establish and maintain free forms of government is essen- tial. “We must,” he declared, “be generous in making loans and offer- ing economic assistance.” Misunderstanding between the United States and Latin America has increased in recent years, he said. “It is not too late,” he continued, “to change our policies, but we must make a very serious effort to re-~ store good relationships and to achieve hemispheric solidarity.” Vice President Nixon’s tour in 1958 brought into focus, he said, the resentment of our neighbors, not against Nixon personally but against the policies and attitudes of the peo- ple he represented as a government official. The countries of Central and South America, he said, are determined to establish for themselves a democratic way of life. That is why, he stated, such leaders as Castro are important as they seek better government and better conditions for their people. Latin America, Mr. Porter de- clared, has made marked progress in recent years. Already Peron and other dictators have been overthrown, he said. Mr. Porter predicted an early end to the two existing au- thoritarian governments in Latin same = ———————————— Dan Yanchinsin Li oe em, Z Almost every organization has one person who is nearly indispensible to them.
