Prexy Urges Support Of Senior Banquet Dear Senior Class, The Senior Class Banquet will be held on May 21, 1960 in the New South Dining Hall. This will be the last major function of the Senior class before com- Mmencement on the 22nd of May. As President of the Senior Class I regret to say that there has been little or no_ interest shown by the Seniors in attend- ing or even having the Senior Banquet. Plans for the Banquet have been completed; the rest is up to the members of the Senior Class! Their part is very simple, all they have to do is purchase their ticket to the banquet and be present for the affair. I would personally like to urge all the members of the Senior Class to purchase their tickets, attend the Banquet, and support their Senior Class. The Banquet is for the Seniors and it is up to them to decide whether it will be a success or a failure! So Seniors, if you are interest- ed in attending the annual Senior Banquet you may purchase your tickets in the Soda Shop in Wright Building on May sec- ond and third from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Once again I would like to urge all Seniors to attend the Senior Banquet and support your Senior Class. é Thank you, Tommy Ragland Senior Class President Graham Speaks Guest Speaker Makes' Plea For Readjustments Dr. Frank P. Graham, discussing the United Nations and its potential- ities for bringing peace and freedom to the world, made a stirring plea for “equal justice under law and human brotherhood under God in an age of mortal peril and immortal hope for «all mankind,” here Monday night. Dr. Graham, representative for India and Pakistan in the United Na- tions and former president of the University of North Carolina, appear- ed on the Danforth Lecture Series be- fore an audience from the city and the campus. Stressing the development of the idea of “one world” and the import- ance to an age of revolutionary changes of “an organization in which people can get together and talk things out instead of shooting them out,” Dr. Graham described the United Nations as “a chief hope of peace and freedom in our time.” Those who charge the United Na- tions with lack of effectiveness are, he declared, “the very ones who have denied and would deny the United Nations the means of more effective- ness.” He pointed out that, in spite of its “inadequacies, frustrations, and fail- ures,” the United Nations “has help- ed to cool off seven hot spots on tne earth and as a world forum of griev- ances, hazards and hopes has so far helped to prevent the beginning of a third world war, which, he predicted would in the atomic age bring our i ation down in ruins. This country, he stated, was “born in an age of revolution out of which came the liberation of the people of North and South America. The United Nations, he continued, was “born in an age of revolution out of which came and is coming the liberation of hundreds of millions of people in Asia and Africa.” He pointed out that the American Declaration of Independence was “the first universal declaration of human ight r adopted in human history by the ch representatives of a free peo He recalled that at the historic Bandung Conference of the represen- atives of more than a billion people of Asia and Africa President Sukarno ride of Paul Revere as “the of the first successful re- nst colonialism modern sen in Graham c’osed his address with challenge to the people of this ntry to have faith in the ideal of cooperation represent- United Nations and not aside, pass by on the other * and give up the moral leader- » of the people of the earth.” Murder Livens Up Campus Routine Dum-de-dum-dum ... 200 bystanders in front of Raw] Building last Thursday morning, saw Charlie Munn handeuff- ed and taken into custody by campus Police Chief Harrell following the fatal shooting of Paul Jenkins. Shortly after the Greenville Rescue Squad arrived and rushed Jenkins to the hospital. Witnesses said that Munn had threatened to kill Jenkins late Wednesday afternoon following an argument over a girl. One witness said, “Paul Jenkins threw a knife that narrowly missed Charlie and then Charlie said, ‘I’li kill you for that.’ ” When classes changed at 10:50 Thursday Munn was waiting for Jen- kins in the hall, eye-witness accounts said. Without a word, one witness said, Munn aimed at Jenkins and fired. Munn dashed from the building and Jenkins crumpled heavily to the floor with a deep red stain rapidly covering the front of his shirt. What many onlookers did not know was that the whole thing was a harm- less mock murder. Even the red stain was fixed—tomato catsup. About a week prior to the murder, the Society for the Advancement of Management on campus dreamed up the idea. It was executed with the aid of the Department of Business, the Pitt County Bar Association, and Pitt County Superior Court officials. Munn, the murderer, will be tried Approximately May 4 at 7 p.m. in Austin Auditorium. Judge William J. Bundy, Superior Court judge, will preside. The ciation will furnish prosecuting an? defense attorneys for the mock trial planned as a demon- stration for dents enrolled in a business law course. A jury will be drawn from stndents on campus. Prof. S. W. Dry of the Business Department and faculty advisor to the Society for the Advancement of Management is the instructor for the law course. Bar Lost And Found James H. Mallory, Dean of Men, reports that a transistor radio, an umbrella, and several books are being held by his office. The owner may have them by providing proper identification. MUSIC DEPARTMEN RECEIVES GIFT Mr. A. J. Fletcher of Raleigh, Pres- ident of TV ion WRAI and also rounder and president of The Grass Roots Opera Company has made a financial gift to the Music Depart- ment which will enable the Opera Theater to produce an opera during the first session of Summer School. Auditions and casting will be done prior to the close of the Spring Quar- ter. ‘'rofessor = FRANK GRAHAM SGA Senate Meets Of the items of business conducted at the SGA meeting Monday night, the major item concerned the presen- tation of a proposal slate of two of- ‘icers and five standing committee hairmen. The following officers were approved by the Senate: Chaplain, Frosty Smith; Parliamentarian, Ray- mond Gillikin. Committee chairmen approved in- cluded: Elections, Annette McDonald; Special Events, Jane Chandler; Ex- ternal Affairs, Nancy Coggins; I. D. Cards, Mary John Best; and Points stem, Pat Farmer. SGA President Jim Speight made several announcements concerning future campus activities. He announc- ed that the Bloodmobile visit April 27 will be sponsored by the Panhellenic- IFC, that there will be four perform- ances of the spring musical this week, and that all organizations are encour- aged to support the inaugural week activities beginning May 6. James Tucker, advisor to the SGA announced that there should he another faculty advisor for the group, and that plans should be made to secure this additional advisor. Speight also announced that the University of Detroit has invited East Carolina to enter the First Interna- tional Intercollegiate Turtle Race. This race is sponsored by the univer- sity’s Spring Carnival. Council Meets The Dean’s Advisory Council met nm April 18, to hear Dr. James L. White and Mrs. Ellen Fleraing dis- plans for the Inauguration. Sug- gestions were made as to how the various organizations may partici- pate in the inaugural ceremonies. A student raised the question of the advisability of deducting a quali- ty point for missing g department meeting. In the discussion that fol- lowed some students expressed a will- ingness to go along with the re- quirement; others felt that it was unfair to punish a student academic- ally for non-academic work. This matter will be brought to the President for further considera- tion. Seniors Elect “illiams Prexy The Senior Class has elected Demp- sey Williams as Senior Class Presi- dent.

Lambda Favorites Dominate Table Tennis Tourney Norman Kilpatrick won the annual East Carolina Table Tennis Rank- ing Tournament, held April 21 in the College Union., by defeating Nelson Tugwell 21-14, 21-9 in the finals of the event. Kilpatrick the defending champion, was able to force his way through Tugwell’s hop defense most of the time, although the runner-up’s serves gave the winner some trouble in the first game. The match for sec- ond place was a bitterly fought af- fair between Tugwell and Charles Munn, with Tugwell’s forehand drives and backhand flicks finally winning the match from Munn’s blocking de- fense and forehand slap shots, 16-21, 21-16, 21-17. Munn also fell to Kilpatrick’s high spin shots and steady attack, after having hit and blocked his way through Zuill Bailey’s backhand dri- ves, 17-21, 21-15, 21-18 in a very close match. Bob Gilden took fifth place in the round-robin tourney by hitting through the spin defense of Albert Davis 21-13 in a single game play-off. The ranking tournament includes the six EC tabie tennis pleyers s# determined by play in the regular quarterly Men’s Tournaments, and results of this round-robin tourney determine the final rankings for the 1959-60 table ternis program of the College’ Union.

When a tragedy occurs in boxing the resentment is against the sport itself. Now a tragedy of col'ege boxing appears to have doomed the sport, Charlie Mohr, a personable, intelligent, deeply religious and in all ways estimable young man, the very symbol of what a college athlete ought to be, co'lapsed in his dressing room during the finals of this year’s 2814 annual National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. He had just lost in what was to have been, win or lose, his last boxing match. He haq lost to a friend with whom he planned to spend part of his Easter vac ation, A star member of the University of Wisconsin boxing team, which y nost to the tournament, Mohr was found to have suffered a brain her rhage. At Univers.ty Hospitals a team of top surgeons, led by the ren: neurosurgeon Dr. Manucher Javid, operated on his brain. They stopp bleeding, but through leng days that followed Mohr remained unconscious an indication that survival was a dubious prospect. OE , Last Sunday morning, eight days after the bout, Charlie Mohr died The injury had affected centers deep in the brain which contro! the heart, blood pressure and respiration. From president to freshman coed, th‘s death of a campus hero shock. ed the University of Wisconsin, the coaches and boxers assembled froy other schools, and the city of Madison’s unique devotees of the college s Largely because of its ardent townie fans, Wisconsin has set several attend. ‘ance records for the NCAA meets, seven of which have now been held there. There were 10,322 spectators (no record) at the 1960 finals on the night Charlie Mohr was injured. Today’s NCAA rules and practices ,ive college boxers the f protection. The 12-ounce gloves (eight and six ounces are standard fessional boxing), the padded headgear and the thick-felted cany ing are sufficient guarantees against all but the most extraordina of serious injury. Perhaps even more important than protective equ: college referees stop bouts as soon as a boxer seems to be definite classed, let alone in danger of a severe beating. Forty-eight bouts fought during the three-day tournament at Wisconsin. Not a single not even Charlie Mohr, was knocked unconscious in the ring. Elev ended in what professional boxing would score as technical knock these were bouts in which the referee intervened as a matter of p when a boxer seemed to have no chance to win. Referee John O’Donnell so intervened, and quickly, as it became ap- parent in the second round that Stu Bartell of San Jose State, who ha once beaten and once lost to Mohr in dual meets, was sure to win again. ODonnel!’s decision came shortly after Mohr was knocked to the canvas, “It was not a good punch,” a deeply depressed O’Donnel d “Just a long right. He was up at the count of two, which is a good sign. While I was giving him the nine-count (mandatory) I looked in his eyes and they were clear. I asked if he was all right and he said, ‘Yes.’ So | let the fight go on. He moved around briskly for maybe 30 seconds, so ne did not seem hurt, but as soon as the other fellow started punching him I moved in and stopped it. I caught the ‘ast punch on my shoulder.” After a rest in his corner, while Bartell was proclaimed 165- NCAA champion, Mohr left the ring and walked to his dressing ro He told his brother his head hurt. He lay down there and was checkec Dr. John Flinn, Wisconsin team physician and director of student he: Dr. F'inn suspected a possible concussion and ordered Mohr to rema ing down. In nine minutes Mohr was in coma and convulsions. The doc ordered him to University Hospita's for an operation that took three h To reduce brain swelling Dr. Javid used a urea-injection method he introduced for lowering brain and eye pressure. The swelling was reduced the hemorrhage was stopped but Mohr did not otherwise respond. The operation did not disclose how a healthy brain could have been so grievously injured by the blows college boxers are able to inflict th padded gloves striking a padded headgear. He had been hit a right hand 4 the brain damage indicated, on the left frontal area (in the vicinity of t left temple), where the headgear is supposed to cushion a blow. Indeed, some doctors at first suspected that Mohr may have had a hitherto undetec- table weakness of a brain artery, an aneurysm. An aneurysm may be com- pared to the similar weakness in an automobile’s inner tube just before blows out. Without certainly, it seemed possible that a blood vessel in C lie Mohr’s brain had burst and that if it had been a healthy arter: would not have burst under the impact of Stu Bartell’s heavily padded fist against a padded headgear. But the brain is a delicate and still myste organ. If the aneurysm theory is correct, Charlie Mohr was not a victim of college boxing. Young men so afflicted may die suddenly and unpredictably in their 20s or 30s. They are victims of premature cerebral hemorrhages that most often occur in much older men. But Dr. Javid felt that the aneur- ysm suggestion was not necessary to explain what had happened. He re- ported that Mohr had suffered “a very serious head injury.” Serious injury or death in college boxing is most unusual. A yest ago Curtis Raymond Lyons, a Texas A & M sophomore, died after a bout with Fred White at Sam Houston College. Prior to that there had not been 3 death in the sport since 1945, when Dixon Walker of the University of Maryland died after a bout at Catholic University with CU’s Gus Gersin. But the 1945 bout was not conducted under the more recent and more pro tective NCAA rules. Whatever the causes in the Mohr instance, aneurysm and innocence for college boxing or not, coaches foresaw the early end of the sport. It has been declining anyhow, despite recent sporadic signs of pos- sible resurgence. Eastern colleges, once the stronghold of the sport, have just about abandoned it except for intramural matches. Now the c T of interest is in the West. Seven California colleges were entered in ti tournament. Only Syracuse was represented from the East. j “This will just about do it,” Coach Milton (Dubby) Holt of State said. ““I think college boxing is now finished.” Henry Elespuru, Sacramento State coach, put it succinctly. “This will kill co!lege boxing,” he said. Both men are aware that college boxing has been confused in manY academic minds with professional prize-fighting, as college wrestling some- times has been confused with professional wrestling. Its ‘aura is not that of tennis, or crew or football, But co'lege boxers have loved it and have benefited by it, among them Charlie Mohr, a shy, introverted young man whose family noted that the sport and his success in it had made him much more outgoing. It may possibly survive this blew. Charlie’s father, Charles Mohr Sr., a gentle- man of remarkable understanding and forbeamsnce, made it clear, once he had recovered from the first shock of his son’s accident, that he does not blame the sport and hopes others will not. But many will. aho Students And Teachers Enjoy Swim Fun Meet A cool way to have fun during tais warm weather is to take a plunge into the nearest pool.
