C Carolina Council Votes Support/Lambda Chi Buys For Intellectual Plan By ROY MARTIN Members of the Dean’s Advisory Council, meeting Monday afternoon, voted approval of the plan submitted by John Dobson of Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity, which calls for the es- tablishment of intermural intellect- ual activities on the East Carolina College campus. The council, composed of presi- dents of all oampus organizations, and SGA standing committee chair- men, were the second body to endorse Dobson’s plan. The Student Senate approved the plan at their last meet- ing in the month of January. Dobson's plan, to be designed in a similar manner as the “G. E. Col- lege Bowl,” televised on the CBS Television Network, embodies the division of campus organizations in- to six leagues, fraternities, sororities, | male dormitory students, female dormitory students, male day stu- dents, and female day students.

For each correct answer, a certain number of points is given, and the team accumu- lating the highest number of points at the end of the allotted time peri- od declared the winner of the match, The questions used in the matches will be of a quick-recall, short-answer type.

Geography Department To Offer Aerial Photo Course In Spring The Geography Department will} photographs and to revise printed offer this spring for the first time a 3 hour course on aerial photograph- interpretation and their applica- tion. This course is one of the sev- eral applied geography courses that are being offered each quarter by the department. Here the students will have an opportunity to learn how to read and interpret aerial photographs taken from the height of 10,000 feet. The department has a large collec- tion of 3,000 photognaphs, which have accumulated through gifts and purchases. These photographs, with the aid of stereoscopes, will permit students to study many features of the landscape which are visible only from the air. In addition to the lec- tures on the subject, students will be required to make maps from these ic | in maps from recent photegraphy of the area. The ECC Geography Department maintains contact with private and government agencies employing grad- uates with trainin in aerial photo| interpretation. One such _ organiza- tion is a top secret naval command Washington: US Naval Photo- graphic Interpretation Center. The course will be taught by Dr. R. E, Cramer who has worked with several government agencies utiliz- maps and aerial photographs. His interest originated during World War II with his two years of mili- tary duty as photographic interpreter with the Sixth Photograpic Squad- ron sta.ioned at Peterson Air Base, Colorado Springs. ing ‘Greenville Home Lambda Ci Alpha social fraternity has purchased the W. H. Woolard home at 652 Cotanche Street Greenville. Members are now making plans to oceupy the residence by March 1. The property is the first to be purchased by an East Carolina fraternity. in Since the installation of frater- nities on the campus in 1958, Lambda Chi Alpha has had the aim of quiring suitable property head- quarters for activities of the organ- as ization and as a home for some mem- bers. John J. West of Durham, president of the fraternity, and Carlos Burt of Enfield, chairman of the housing committee, and other members of the group, have conducted investiga- tions of various properties in the city and of practices of operation in fraternity houses on other cam- pus in the state. In order to purchase the residence on Cotanche Street, the fraternity was organized into the Iota Upsilon Zeta House Corporation of Lambda Chi Alpha. Prominent alumni mem- bers in Greenville who are serving as officers are Alton Barrett, presi- dent; John G. Lautares, vice pres dent; Robert E. Windle, secretar and Mahlon Coles, who is advisor of the campus chapter, treasurer. Arrangements for the purchase were completed through J. H. Harrell, at- torney. Fraterni._y members are now com- pleting plans for furnishing the for use by twenty resident members, securing the services of a house mother, and redecorating the home and landseaping the grounds. The property is described by Lamb- da Chi Alpha members as “ideal for use by a fraternity.” Central location between the college campus and the business district of the city, ample space for future additions to the house, and a large area for parking are among advantages.

Number 16 EC Professors Discuss Cheating At Meeting “We have taken cheating too lightly; we have refused to recognize the problem as the serious thing it really is.” This was one of the opinions ex- pressed on cheating by a panel mem- ber at an open meeting of the A.A. U.P. late last week at Joyner Library Auditorium. The program consisted of a panel discussion in which each member was given five minutes to express his opinion, followed by a panel-audience discussion. Members of the panel were Wiss Ruby Edens of the Business Depart- ment, Dr. James Tucker, Director of Student Personnel; and Barney West, Junior Senator to the S.G.A. Dr. Wellington Gray, head of the Art Department, moderated the panel, and Dr. Bessie MeNeil, head of the Home Economics Department, was in charge of the program. Dr. Gray explained the campus call for action on the matter of cheating and praised those of the student body who have led the protest to lax re- gulations on cheating. Barney West emphasized the im- portance of the student’s having a good idea of what the courses he is taking are about. He said that if the s udent could see no value in a course, he could see no harm in cheating to make the necessary quaiity points. “Morality, unless supported by prac- ticality, is useless,” addedWest. Mi Edens warned against for- getting the real dishonesty and un- fairness of cheating. She sympathiz- ed with the honest student, who is cheated out of his grade by a dis- honest thinks only of himself. “The students who do not cheat must condemn it; we, the faculty, must condemn it; and there should be serious consideration of strict penalties for cheating,’ she asserted. Miss Edens also explained the importance of the teacher’s person who By JASPER JONES handling cases of cheating “because if it goes before a committee, 90% of the time it will do nothing.” Dr. Tucker assured everyone that the administration would back action against cheating but added that “we should not imply that we are the only ones that have this problem.” Dr. Tucker said that many rumors of wholesale cheating are “pure sensa- tionalism.” “Barney West here gave as an example the rumors concern- ing exams that ‘get out’ when actu- ally they have not been printed,” he commented. Dr. Tucker continued by saying that most cheating is of the cribbing variety—notes in phoney fountain pens, looking on other papers, etc., and that cases of well planned cheat- ing schemes are seldom encountered. In the following panel-audience discussion, a number of faculty mem- bers said that they felt that cheat- ing on creative work outside of class ‘as of journalism) is most serious. ‘Tt would estimate that 50% of the themes and papers handed in. . . 18 copied,” stated Barney West. Dr. Gray expressed dissatisfaction with examination methods on this campus and other campuses and sug- gested doing away with “exams cays.” He advocated the method used by the University of Chicago—let- ting the student take the examine- tion “when he feels he is ready.” Many people were surprised at the me‘hods that students have used to steal exams. Dr. Tucker described several in details such as having keys to offices and stealing exam copies from ears. When asked to comment on the problem, Dr. Leo Jenkins, President of the College, who was not at the discussion, said, “I feel that there is ro place on this campus or any cam- pus in America for any dishonest person. A person who cheats on an exam is a person definitely lacking Jenkins Announces Formation Of Faculty Advisory Council East Carolina’s President Leo W. Jer the formation Faculty Advisory ins announced last week of Council to the According a President.

The Opera Wheater’s director Paul Hickfang says, “the production is taking shape nicely now. We are looking forward for this show to be the most outstanding one this school has ever produced. The music is elec- trofying and powerful, very explosive and beautiful, and is all packed into an hour’s performance. This is a pro- duction that will be enjoyed by the average Jay-music lover as well as the opera-lover.” “The orchestra is doing a fine job under the experienced baton of Don Hayes, East Carolina Orchestra direc or. It’s accompaniment to the opera will virtually ‘make’ this pro- duction,” added Mr. Hickfang. : The Medium, to be presented in McGinnis Auditorium on February 20, and Sunday, Feb. 21 spins its web around a gypsy “Baba” and her daughter “Monica” and adopted son “Toby.” Baba desperately tries tolfind ‘a sdlution to a deep and penetrating problem which she cannot understand, while Toby seems to hide within his silence the answers to her question. “Baba” is portrayed by James Mur- ray of Roxboro, and Martha Brad- ner of Greenville. They both appear- ed as “Hata” in the Opera Theaters production of The Bartered Bride last ae Gillikin of Greenville pias the rt of Toby, and Monica is portray- or by Alison Moss of Greenville, and ‘Ann Darden of Williamston. ‘Miss Darden appeared last year as “Marie” in the opera theater produc- tion of The Bartered Bride. She also sang in Carousel. Miss Darden is also a member of the College Choir, and Sigma Alpha Iota, the professional hononary fraternity. She is also president of the Opera Theatre. While an undergnaduate Mrs. Moss had the lead part in the operetta “Down in the Valley.” She had also soloed in the annual production of music Handel’s “Messiah.” Mrs. Moss has taught voice, piano, and organ, and is soloist at the First Presbyterian Church in Greenville.

In addition, the members of the council can carry back to the faculty the results of the meetings, thus allowing a free flow of communications between the fa- culty and the president’s office. No departmental heads are on the new council. Dr. Jenkins said, “I formed this council to assist me in any way pos- sible in enabling the college to serve in an increasingly more effective manner. It’s a device to enable us to corral faculty thought regarding suggestions for the betterment of all concerned.” He added, “Its counterpart is the Student Advisory Council which fune- tions under the Dean and is made up of the presidents of all the or- ganizations on campus. There also exisis an Alumni Council. We hope in the future to have these three meet together periodically. Elected to serve on the council from the respective departments are: arts, Dr. Bruce Carter; business edu- cation, Dr. Tora M. Larsen; education, Dr. Douglas R. Jones; English, Dr. James Poindexter; foreign language, Dr. J. Roy Prince; geography, Dr. Robert E. Cramer; and health and physical education, Nell Stallings. Also elected to the council were: home economics, Ruth Lambie; in- dustrial arts, Dr. Thomas J. Haig- wood; library science, Dr. Mildred Southwick; mathematics, Dr. John O. Reynolds; music, Dr. Edmund Durham; psychology, Dr. Frank A. Seott; science, J. G. Boyette; and social studies, Dr. Charles-L. Price. Jenkins Accepts Bid To Join Social Frat President Leo W. Jenkins has ac- cepted an invitation to become a member of the campus chapter of lambda Chi A!pha, social fraternity. Initiation ceremonies are scheduled for March 19. Plans are now being made by mem- bers of Lambda Chi Alpha at the college for the initiation of Dr. Jen- kins, of undergraduate members, and of several faculty members. A ban- quet-in honor of the East Carolina President and other new members is being arranged. in character. It is our responsibility to either correct this deficiency in the student or remove him from the college community. “I (frankly feel the problem is somewhat overrated on this campus and many other campuses. The over- whelming majority of students do not have to cheat to succeed in college. The problem can be solved in short order by a determined effort on the part of the faculty and the student body. “I am very much in favor of our considering more essay |examina- tions. Most experienced teachers know that it is quite difficult to cheat on this type of exam,” he concluded. SGA Seeks Stop Light; Discusses ‘Bohunk’ Trophy At their initial meeting of the month of February, the Student Sen- ators carried on regular business, with the exception of several items submitted for their attention from SGA President Dallas Wells. In their first action of the night, the senators voted to set up a com- mittee to investigate the possibilities of erecting a stop-light at the main Fifth Street campus entnance. The senators action was taken in the wake of President Wells’s reporting that he had looked into the matter on his own, and upon meeting with the City Manager of Greenville, was advised that if the Student Govern- ment wanted a stop-light in the in- tersection, they would have to pur- chase it themselves, at a cost of $600- 650. The senate committee will meet with Greenville officials and attempt to work out arrangements for the erection of the light. In another action, President Wells stated that the “Bohunk” trophy, a bucket, long a symbol of rivalry be- tween East Carolina and Atlantic Christian College athletic teams, would be presented to the SGiA next week by Sigma Phi Epsilon Frater- nity. Wells pointed out that the trophy was almost the source of a riot at the recent ACC-ECC game played in Wilson last week. Wells stated ‘hat he would collaborate with the Student Government president at AC, and decide upon-measures to be taken which will avert such occasions in the future. Play Tryouts Set For February 13 Auditions for actors, singers and Cancers needed for parts in the play, The Third Frontier. which will play in New Bern on June 1ith through the 25th are scheduled for Saturday, February 13 in Wright Auditorium.

PAGE TWO Students Must Fight To Assert Integrity In Other Localities Students in the Dominican Republic are being jailed, tortured, assassinated, or forced to disappear because they dared to fight against the tyranny of tinhorn dictator Ra- fael Trujillo. Now the example set by these students has spread to all social levels of the entire country. Signs of discontent and opposition to the dictatorship because of its corruption, ruthlessness, and nepotism are mounting daily. The Dominican students are deter- mined to tight against the tyranny of Tru- jillo, who has rv’ d the country with an iron hand for thirty years. Last year a movement which had _ its start among Cuban students culminated in the ousting of the hated dictator Fulgencio Batista. The ‘President’ tortured students daily, but could never stamp out the 26 de Julio movement for freedom. In Greensboro, N. C. last week, white students joined fellow Negro students in a quiet, orderly, but affective protest against racial discrimination. Negro college students protested that although they could buy food at lunch counters at two variety stores, they could not sit down to order or eat. And we cannot forget the students in Budapest .... Here at East Carolina, we do not have to fight: for our rights. We are free and White. We are also complacent and _ blase. And to use again a well worn term, we are apathetic. Build Strong Bodies; Allow Minds To Fall So the decade of the Sixties is to be an Era of Greatness in North Carolina. —an era of great fliptop caverns of concerete and steel for revivals and race tracks, polo and rodeo, circuses and civic assemblies, exhibitions, expositions, and playing fields where our youth will come to distort themselves and flex their rippling muscles. What we build in Raleigh will be emulated in Charlotte and Greensboro and elsewhere—as the past does prove. —an era of indoor and outdoor arenae, stadia, and colisea, gently and glamorously described for public intake as multi-purpose structures bursting at the seams with mani- fold purposes and multitudinous functions too numerous to enumerate. Here, too, our youth will come (contrary protests notwith- standing!) to disport themselves and flex their rippling muscles. What we construct at Chapel Hill, having already done so at Raleigh, we shall likewise do at Greenville, at Boone, at Cullowhee, and wherever else there be a state-supported college which wishes “to be able to house its students oc- casionally under one roof.’—wherever there be an imagined need that youth must come to disport themselves and flex their rippling muscles! For such edifices, then, shall we spend our many millions in this decade of the six- ties, this Era of Greatness! Well, so be i for if we continue to dole out decimal-point percentage salary increases and _ contin- gency bonuses as a hoped-for means of get- ting and keeping good public school teachers: if we continue to make each teacher pay $8 for each day she is sick; if we continue to crowd more pupils in the classrooms than almost any other American state; if we con- tinue to deprive our children of urgently- needed guidance personnel and special serv- ice teachers; if now we fail to give priority to the cause of public schools, the time will soon come when the only thing left for our youth to flex will be their rippling muscles! Their other talents—mental, moral, and spiritual—never having been discovered and hence never having been developed—will waste away and slowly disappear in the em- erging morass of respectable American me- diocrity ! So let's fetch forth our architects of fliptops, arenae, stadia, colisea! Let’s set up our drawing boards! Let’s pour our concrete! Let’s rivet our steel girders! Let’s erect edi- fices for tomorrow which will truly stand as monuments to our Era of Greatness to- day—the Dynamic Decade of the Sixties!

And The Night Proved Interesting By ROY MARTIN Picture this: The gym is crowded to overflowing as you enter. The re- spective teams have just completed their preliminary warm-ups, and the game is about to begin. You take your seat in the blea- chers among the fans, who are now becoming restless with anticipation of the action which is about to begin. The two tallest boys on each team move into the center circle, glancing apprehensively at one another.

You sit now just a little fur- ther away from the gentleman, watching every move he makes. Somehow, you manage to keep yourself out of the reach of his wild- ly moving arms, and settle down to watch the game. This, however, seems to be a figment of your im- agination, because there is some kid pouring his drink down your back everytime his team scores.

Hard Work, No Play? “Many of you have heard it said that teaching is just the same as any other profession—a great deal of hard work and no play,” stated Miss Smith of Deep Run, “but this, I have found. is not at all true.” “A teacher,” Joanne continued, “is a guide and a molder of character. She has a profound influence on the child she teaches. “There is no greater joy in this profession than the feel of accom- plishment at the ead of a class period.” ‘As an English major Joanne did her student teaching fall quarter at Greenville High School. “Having graduated from a small school,” an- nounced Joanne, “it took me several days to familiarize myself with the routine of a somewhat larger school. After teaching in a large school, I believe it has more opportunity for learning and a wider selection of subjects as compared to a small school.” When asked about her opinions as to what constituted a good teach- er, Joanne said, “She should know her subject thoroughly and have con- fidence in herself and her students.” One of the many amusing incidents that occurred in her classroom was were only mistaken in your thinking, because the cheerleader by whom you’re sitting, when her team scores jumps straight up carrying part of your nose with her as she travels up- ward. . “Oh, somewhere there’s a valley, but I ask you... WHERE? ‘Georgia Review’ Publishes Article By History Teacher James Calvin Hemphill, one of the outstanding journalists in the nation in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, and his efforts to defeat Woodrow Wilson’s bid for the presidency are discussed by Dr. Willard B. Gatewood, Jr., of the So- cial Studies Department, in the cur- rent, winter, 1959, edition of “The Georgia Review,” a quarterly. The article covers the years 1911- 1912, when the Southern editor dir- ected barbed criticism at Wilson. Hemphill, editor of the Charleston, S.C., News and Courier, the Rich- mond Times-Dispatch, and the Char- lotte Observer, wielded a consider- able political influence through these papers. He was, in addition, vice president of the Associated Press, Bromley, Lecturer in Journalism at Carolina Press Association. Along with George Harvey, editor or the “North American Review” and “Harper’s Weekly,” and Henry Wat- terson, editor of the Louisville Cour- ier-Journal, Hemphill, according to Dr. Gatewood’s article, was one of the “discoverers” of Woodrow Wil- son, whose political fortunes he championed for several years. After Wilson became increasingly progressive and liberal in his polit- ical views, Dr. Gatewood says, Hemp- hill joined other conservative South- erners in an effort to defeat him as the Democratic nominee. As a participant in the celebrated “Manhattan Club Affair,” Dr. Gate- wood states, Hemphill, then editor of the Charlotte Observer, joined Harvey .and Watterson in an effort to deflate the Wilson Presidential boom. In January 1912 Hemphill pub- lished in the Charlotte newspaper the Yale, a “roving reporter,” on the New told by Joanne in the following man- ner: “We were studying the well- known short story, The Lady and The Tiger. iAs the story goes, the young man is to choose which door he will open. He knows that behind one door is a beautiful young lady and behind the other, a ferocious tiger waiting to tear him to shreds. He chose Lhe door on the right. Thus the story ends. “I asked my students what they thought was on the other side and one quiet, meek little fellow said very seriously. ‘I think it rained and they both called off the whole thing.’ ” Friendly Atmosphere “I shall always remember the friendly atmosphere on the EC cam- pus,” stated Joanne when asked what she would miss about ECC. During her four years as a student, Joanne has found time for many extra-curricular activities such as the SNBPA, Sigma Phi Alpha, the Eng- lish Club and Alpha Xi Delta social sorority of which she is secretary. She has been q Sweetheart Ball sponsor for two years and a ggilege marshal. After graduating this spring, Jo- anne hopes to teach out-of-state York Times, and Founder of the South now famous story of Wilson’s break with Harvey. During this period, Dr. Gatewood no other Southern says, Democratic editor surpassed Hemp- hill as a caustic critic of Woodrow Wilson. Despite his past activities as an editor, Hemphill was a good enough Democrat, according to Dr. Gatewood, to accept Wilson as the nominee of lis party in 1912 and to work through his editorial columns to secure his election. In 1914, President Wilson end the Southern editor were recon- ciled and became political allies. Dr. Gatewood, assistant professor of history at East Carolina College, is a native of Pelham, N.C. He is a graduate of Duke University and has previously pubtished articles in the “North Carolina Historical Review” and the “South Atlantic Quarterly.” Prexy Commends College Spirit Dear Editor: 1 should like to take this oppor'u- nity to express my appreciation for the excellent school spirit displayed by the students of East Carolina at recent baske‘ball games.
