Dinner Honors EC Scholars East Carolina’s highest students in academic work were honor guests Monday night at a dinner in the New! South Dining Room here. Seventy-one students whose names have been included during the 1959- 1960 term on the List of superior students or who have made the top mark of one in all courses taken were present for the occasion. The dinner was given in honor of p-ranking students by the ranty Bank and Trust Co. of which for the past five rs has entertained the honor stu- dents each spring. Dean Robert L. Holt presided at the dinner and introduced F. Richard ‘Atkinson, vice president of the bank, who acted as host for the institution and extended greetings to those pre- Registrar John Horne; David J. Whichard III, editor of the Green- ville Reflector; and President Leo W. Jenkins. Sandra L. Thompson and Mary A. Worthington, freshmen, received spe- cia! recognition from Dean Holt for having made the top mark of one on every course which they have taken here President Dean's he top enville, Jenkins, addressing the urged them to be “maximum students and citizens.” The maximum student, he said, is a thinker, a leader, a worker, and a fighter who will not compromise about what he thinks is right. “The maximum student,” he stated, “is not afraid of hard, vigorous, healthy work. He accepts respon- sibilities and the challenges of life without offering alibis and excuses. He is the cream of the crop.” ‘Anne Darden of Williamston, with honor students, Larita Umphlett of Rocky Mount at the piano, gave a program of songs “Carousel” and “Porgy and tudents invited to attend the din- ner are: E.

Luncheon Honors Pierce Saturday An estimated 350 persons gathered here Saturday to honor Mr. Ovid Pierce, member of the English De- vartment at a luncheon banquet spon- sored by the Greenville Woman’s Club and the East Carolina Art Society. Notable North Carolina literary figures paid tribute to Mr. Pierce as a “brilliant writer and as an out- standing ‘Tar Heel’.” Mr. Pierce is the author of the vest-seller The Plantation which caused James Street to once remark, “I wish I could write a book like The Plantation.” His latest novel, On A Lonesome Porch which will be offi- cially released May 13, was described as “one of the best novels to be re- ‘eased this year or any other year” by the executive editor of Doubleday and Company, LeBaron Barker. Among literary persons who at- tended the luncheon were: Inglis Fletcher, novelist; Thad Stem, poet; Jane Hall, president of the North Carolina Press Women’s Association; Henry Belk, editor of the Goldsboro News Argus; and LeBaron Barker, executive editor of Doubleday and Company, New York City. The ‘Ovid Pierce Banquet’ official- ly opened the Fine Arts Festiva! of 1960 sponsored by the Greenville Woman’s Club and the East Carolina Art Society. On May 1, 1960, an open house was held at the new Fine Arts Center which had as a special feature an ex- hibition of Old Masters on loan from New York art galleries. ag ee rs Japanese Student Further Describes Aspect Of Homeland Culture (EDITORS NOTE: This is the final part of a three part series compar- ing the Japanese and American cul- tures. The series has been done by Hideo Kusama, a graduate student from Japan who is attending East Carolina this quarter.) I have already introduced to you some representative forms of Jap- anese cu'ture which are still growing xs the particular arts of life beyond the field of temple religion or of ar- istocratic form. T have also described the historical background of the Chanoyu (tea cer- emony) culture which stated on the life manner of the ancient Japan’s aristocrats. It once diffused among the citizens for a while but opposite'y was taken up by the feudal lords in the sixteenth century and today it is again to develop as the multitude arts in the Japanese so- ciety. In this respect, chanoyu cultural forms are the barometer to dominate the future Japan’s national morals and the cultural heritage. Through the practice or the study of any one of the forms such as flower arrange- ments, Kabuki play, Noh play, even as Judo or Kendo we can reach to the same ultimate province as that of the tea ceremony. In other words, the Japanese cul- was Gividual rather than to the multitude, Pridgen, vice president; Artie Gurtmor, recording secretary; Harry Wicker,’ js called the living culture for the corresponding secretary; Jim Speight, historian; Sam Magill, treasurer; people who are prepared to use the Raymond Gillikin, parliamentarian; Glenn Bass, sergeant-at-arms; and Jay province as means to contro) them- Cardy, custodian. selves and to open minds to new ideas. While I was writing this article I felt difficulty in finding out some suitable references of the American culture to compare with those of the living Japanese culture. If any, is it more natural, more religious, or more human-like or more materialistic? Much more about this point will be said in later sentences. For the purpose, I feel necessary to describe more about the main characteristic of the Japanese cul- ture which constitute the spirit so- called “mu” in the tea ceremony. 1. UNBALANCE that is to love the unfinished and also to rebuild the complete. This idea is well ex- pressed in the equipment used ‘or the tea ceremony. 2. SIMPLENESS that comes from the idea to love something deep which is the way to the truth. Wes- tern scholars used to try to under- stand the oriental culture only through the idea. 3. NOBLENESS that is not the sensible but the power that the people keeps in mind in the modest way. This is the central element of the Japanese nationslity. 4. NATURALNESS that means non-minded movement, that is the “movement in silence” and the “si- lence in movement” which are seen in our appreciation of Kabuki play and Noh play, and in the play Ju- do and Kendo. Such more tea cere- mony like play would be the refer- ence to the American music or sports. 5. MYSTERY that is our desire to get something noble from the na- ture which is well expressed es- pecially in the Japanese flower ar- Tangement. 6. NON-MUNDANE that is to clear up our body and spirit in be- ing alone away from the real so- ciety. If we accept the idea too of- ten in our daily life it tends to make us lose our fellowship to our neighbors and makes us live in the world of our own. This is the point that the oriental people have to reflect themselves and that refers to the idea of (Christian love in the American society. 7. SILENTNESS that is the self- possession and is the spirit to make us go forward inside which is very similar to (6) in the idea to avoid the gay circumstances and both of them ave a side to suggest us a way to keep ourselves from out- side changes. Such kind of cultural elements is closely connected with the special circumstances and the process of the cultural development as we can see between Japan and the U. S. as fol- lows: (A) The Japanese culture has been developed in the limited material re- sources to that the American culture Las been developed in the fruitful material resources. (B) The Japanese culture has been protected through several centuries of feudalistic ages by the leader class to that the American culture bas grown up amcag the citizens in| JUDO This is another expression struggles for freedom and independ- ence, (C) Although the Japanese culture has been much inflected by Buddhism in the early age, generally speaking, it has already been over the religious field and it is now retarded before the western culture in nihilistic ideas, to that the American culture has been based upon Christianity which is always being lived in the church service as the endless spring for the human ethics and morality. In these views, much interests in making clear the difference of the east-west culture seem to be found in the comparison between the Japan- ese tea ceremony and the American church service, between the Judo and the Boxing, and between the Kabuki play and the American Jazz. For our better human understand- ing, I hope such kind of studies is much made carefully in each country. Se ESE as of Japanese cultare. PENNIES Nabe neentmemcerann r= tat "y PAGE TWO Departmental Meetings Discussed By D. A.C. At a recent meeting of the Dean’s Advis- ory Council a student protested the procedure employed here to bring xbout good attend- ance at the quarterly departmental meetings. Under the present system, if a student to attend a departmental meeting he is punished academically one quality point iss deducted from his over-all grade average, This is a most unfortunate situation. Some departmental meetings are bene- ficial to students and include in their pro- grams an occasional competent speaker. We firmly advoeate outside speakers bringing new and different views to the campus, How- attendance at their programs should not be made compulsory and certainly should not be diseuised under the pretense of hold- ing a departmental meeting, Other departmental meetings present i speaker from the given department who ally speaks on some phase of his field, bringing students up to date on recent devel- opments in that field This is good also. How- ever, it is no excuse for taking a quality point if one fails to attend. Any course in any department should present the latest and nformation on the given subject. If it does not do so the course is not aecomplish- and a more competent pro- found fails ever, yest ng its purpose fessor should be At other departmental meetings the de- partment head and his assistants out forms to be filled out, schedules to be fol- owed, or questionnaires to be answered. These of literature are probably useful for something but we're not sure what. In any case a student should not be punished cally for failure to attend a depart- meeting during which the department or its failure to communicate prop- the rest of the quarter, These forms and ther paraphernalia could easily be mailed d the students could use their lost time better advantage. All in all, most departmental meetings a few good points and a few bad ones. } Che point is that no t should have a g e lowered (and in this is what happens) for not attend- a meeti which should be on a volun- pass gobs s not the point i t th poin eNce tary basis. Perhaps there are authorities here who nough perspective to comprehend this enough intelligence to realize something i be done about it. On the other hand, perhaps there aren't Better System Needed For Final Examinations It is almost time for final exams again and, as in the past, all the exams will be crammed into a two and one half day exami- nation period. ents will have a full day of another with no break ex- This system fosters “last cramming” on the night before the All of the study guides we have read this is bad. From. personal experience we know that it is trying on one’s nerves and sleeping schedule, not to mention that night of cramming leaves one too tired nervous to remember a thing he has and read. Since final examinations are one of the most important times of the school quarter, we feel a study should be made of the situa- tion here to see if a better system can’t be worked out East Carolinian the students of East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina slished by Member Associated Collegiate Press h State Conference Press Association EDITOR SS MANAGER Tom Jackson JoAnne Parks Pat Harvey Roy Martin Betty Maynor Leonard Lao Jasper Jones Marcelle Vogel ts Editor Merle Summers Norman Kilpatrick, Jerry Nance Skip Wamsley Jay Arledge Patsy Elliott Cartoonist Corresponding Secretary Proofreading Director Gwen Johnson Proofreading Staff Lynda Simmons, Jasper Jones, sy Elliott, Sue Sparkman, Chick Lancaster, ance, Burleigh Hill, Freddie Skinner Women’s Circulation Manager Susan Ballance Men’s Circulation Manager Carlyle Humphrey Reporters Evelyn Crutchfield, Marcelle Vogel, Charlotte Donat, Gwen Johnson, Patsy Elliott, Jasper Jones, Anne Francis Allen, Bob Goodwin, Sue Sparkman, Sam Hudson Columnists — Mike Katsias, Marcelle Vogel, Derry Walker, Pat Harvey, Roy Martin, Jasper Jones Women’s Circulation Staff — —-——- Carolyn Baxley, Janice Boyette, Emily Currin, Peggy Deloach, Rath Fortner, Shirley Gay, Jack Harris, Helen Hawkins, Janice Hubbard, Gwen Johnson, Judy Lambert, Linda Outlaw, Hazel Prevatte, Gaille Rouse, Carolyn Sumrell, Linda Tart, Agnes Men’s Circulation Staff Wayne Morton, Theta Chi Pledges OFFICES on the second floor of Wright Building.

It seems that Messrs. Sanford, Larkins, and Seawell are still clinging to that old American dictum, “Money soives everything.” *> We were pleased to hear at least one practical educational plan for North Carelina from Dr. Beverly Lake. Dr. Lake seems to have made a detailed study of education in North Carolina and has also had experi- ence, eighteen years as a college pro- fessor. Dr. Lake began his speech (April 18, on television) by explaining that the idea of standardization has slowly but suppressed superior stu- dents by setting all standards for the ave e and exerting our energies toward bringing the sub-average up to those standards. Indeed, many elementary and sec- ondary schools are simply large baby sitting institutions filled with “stu- dents” waiting to be gradually pro- moted to a high school graduation. Students do not have to worry about getting promoted. If they can wait two years in one grade, the teacher whether they ean write their names or not. Most people would be amazed at the num- her of students who graduate from high schools in North Carolina every year cannot write consecutive, sentences! Consequently, promotion is not a reward for work well done, but simply an assurance cf one more year’s loafing at state expense. Dr. Lake believes that abandon- ment of this “social promotion” is a “nece ry step toward the needed of learning in our North Car- schools.” :As long as anyone can go through a North Carolina bas- je education schooling and do nothing, no amount of money is going to rev- olutionize North Carolina education. The trivial and often unnecessary duties which plague teachers are an- other problem which Lake considers Teachers in this state must keep innumerable records, dir- ect fund raising drives, participate in community activities, and handle countless other extra-curricular mat- little time left ingly, the chief surely has to promote them who complete important. rs. The teacher ha for education. S the 1 not more mone y being able to teach without the frustrating demands made by extra-curricular activities. Dr. Lake is trying to show North Carolinians that the key to good bas- is education is not simply the con- struction of gorgeous new buildings er of science labs. The important thing is to make education a fruitful experience for teachers and students. SGA President Calls For Participation Dear Student Body, I want to impress upon you the importance of attending the Inaugural Ceremonies which are to begin at 10:30 Friday, May 13. Classes will be excused for the ceremonies. There will be many important delegates and guests on hand for this occasion and the number of students that repre- sent us will be an indication of the size of our school and of our school spirit. This can be very influential when we are trying to get appropriations from the state next year. On Friday, students are en- couraged to attend the Open House at the President's home from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The Inaugural Ball will be Fri- day, May 13, at 8:00 p.m. in Wright Auditorium. This is strictly formal. Tuxedoes, with or without tails, and white dinner jackets will be acceptable. The SGA urges you all to at- tend these most important events. Jim Speight, President Student Government aesire o° simpl Students: The College Union Student Board invites you to meet Presi- dent Jenkins and his family at an informal tea to be held in the College Union lounge May 8, fol- lowing the Orchestra Concerto program. A star-studded cast of performers produced a hit called Annie Get Your Gun in New York City, and a few years later anciher group of troupers made a filmed version with the same results. Then along came a group of amateur actors — struggling college students and a few directors—strug- gling faculty members, who proved that a little talent smeared w ith paint mixed into a ground of hit sonys can and does pg an audience a night of delightful entertainment. Annie Oakley, a tough little cow- girl, was a tough little role for any comical singer, but Jane Mur through with laughs galore. As an actress Jane surprised us with funny lines uttered with that precise touch and charming drawl. Unfortunatel holding char- acter in Zing more difficult end Jane fell short in this department. Her voice was beau- tiful, but the boisterous, loud-mouth- ed Annie did not require the soprano tones Jane delivered. Realizing the quality of Miss Murray's voice we readily understand how impos- sible this feat was. When gangly Ronnie Knouse sang “The Girl That I Marry” many of our jenrale should have been ready to apply. Besides lending his superb voice Ronnie gave Frank But- ier all his persuasive talents and made kim the much desired man-about- town. Mr. Knouse was one of the few who had the necessary volume to cope with the volume of the orchestra. As an actor Ronnie was not a threat to Lawrence Oliver, but with his vocal cords why worry? As two of the most hilarious cha- racters, Charlie Davenport and Dolly Tate, George Seymour and Dotty Flynn had an opportunity to steal the show, and they practically succeeded. George seemed comparatively stiff in the first scene, but as the play pro- gressed his initial appearance was gorgotten; he seemed to be stealing scenes with too little effort. His voice and acting blended into a beautiful characterization. The darling, nasty Dolly was the center of hatred in the show, Dotty Flynn played the part to the hilt and was so believable that the audience was really looking forward to seeing her scalped by Chief Sitting Bull. If Dotty gave the impression of being slighty hamy, I say orchids to her because Dolly was a tall thin, ham. Dotty’s entrance into the ballroom was one of the most colorful of the night. Leland Knight and Ashlynn Mau!- den, the cutest couple observed, mastered their duets and gave an ex- cellent performance. Their versions of “Pll Share It All With You” and “Who Do You Love I Hope” numbers proved that dancing is not an art, but a learned feat. Buffalo Bill and Chief Sitting Bul! portrayed by Kenneth Ginn and Bob her western her her voed was much ean viewers By PAT HARVEY Kornegay were a disappointment. Kenne makeup added to his pe*- formance, but his stature and youth- {ul voice detracted from the typical idea of what Buffalo Bill was like. Sitting Bull had some of the funniest lines but failed to pull in the laughs he should have. Only in the scalping scene did Mr. Kornegay really prove himself to be an all-round Indian. In the first scene Zuill Bailey gal- oped through his scenes as thouga } had an early appointment with } ilyn Monroe. Mr. Bailey was lucky in having a comedian’s part made to order, but he Jidn’t even try to milk iis laugh lines nor did he really ap- pear enthusiastic over the fact that le had them. Two bit pi in the capable hands of yo y Hale as Little Jake and Rosen Swisher in the role “Miss Society’ were superbly enact- ed. Jimmy’s reading lesson with An- nie in the train scene proved that children still get attention and Miss Swisher’s dominance of the ballroom antics proved that a small part does not have to be small in performance. The ten dancers did a commendable job. Fortunately, the numbers were comparatively easy to prepare. Jim Gillikin’s best number came in the Drum Dance, which w tually the best part of the technical- ly and The busy chorus members also came through in fine style. Highlights of the show were the blended voices of Davenport, Knouse, and Ginn singing “There's No Busi- ress Like Show Business,” the scalp- ing scene, the drum sequence head- iined by Jane Murray’s crazy choreo- graphy, and the ballroom scene in which the “Girls in Bouquet,” Mary Lee Lawrence, Judy Hearne, and Patsy Roberts, were excellent. Actually there were very few weak characters in the show and everyone fad their chance to cop a scene or two. Practically all the songs were well-known and handled with care and skill. With Rogers and Hammerstein and Irving Berlin creating the show, the musical crew had already reached first base before they started. As in a!l shows the performers are only a part of the finished product. Make-up played an important role in this particular production and those in charge are to be congnatulated. The sets were believable especially the hotel and the cattle boat. Lighting was adequate and the costumes were well-chosen. Only the sound needed improving. Unfortunately, the audi- ence had trouble hearing the singers over the superb musical arrange- ments conducted by Donald H. Hayes, wusical director. Lonnie Taylor on percussion and Gerald Powell at the piano certainly didn’t hinder the ar- vangements. They too are in line for 2 pat on the back. Considering the number of students who were making their acting debuts entire play, musically. a lot of the show’s success is extend- ed to James Brewer, the dramatic director, who moulded many students into first-rate actors and actresses. Mr. Brewer with the able assistance of Rose Marie Gornto also served as technica! director and both are to be congratulated for this time-consum- ing job. It is very seldom that a reviewer can say hooray for acting, singing, dancing, and technical work; but for this production she feels justified in saying that Annie Get Your Gun was a superb play of which East Caro- lina should feel proud. En Garde By PAT FARMER Tt seems that here and abroad, students have taken unto themselves the authority to appoint themselves guardians of democracy and human dignity. Throughout the South, sit- down strikes still continue and in Korea, student demonstrations ended with the Rhee .. resignation of Syngman . and rcw demonstrations by students have started in Turkey . . - I have often wondered that if a sit- uation arose in the United States or here on the campus—how many stu- dents would join “the cause. . .” The SGA musical presented this past week drew large crowds each night. Jane Murray and Ronnie Kno- use gave notable performances, but one of the most outstanding perform- ances of the entire musical was by Leland Knight who portrayed Tom- my Keeler ... Mr. Knight seemed more at home on the stage than did Mr. Knouse, a veteran performer. With graduation drawing nigh, East (Carolina will lose two of its most outstanding ‘rabble rousers’— Fred Ragan and C. W. Warwick. Many of you will remember the parts played by Fred and C. W. in the ‘constitu- tion controversy’. ... It is too bad that our campus does not have more members like Mr. Ragan and Mr. Warwick . . . Good luck, fellows. . . Someone was telling me about a tournament that was being held here on campus. It seems that although the contest is being sponsored—one person has charge of it and it seems that this person comes out the win- ner each week and does his own per- sonal write-ups for the paper . . Like the person telling me .. . why not give the person the trophy and stop all the nonsense??? Overheard two townsmen discuss- ing the forth-coming gubenatorial election.

His reason for not voting for the candidate was that he ‘was planning to spend too much money on education. . College Library Reviewed; Problems, Operations Discussed (EDITOR’S NOTE: From time to time much criticism arises on campus concerning the college library and its workings. In view of recent critie- ism of the library, the East Carolinian has conducted a survey in order to bring to the students more facts con- cerning the operation and problems of the library as well as constructive criticism of that department. Included in the following report are comments by faculty members, statements by the Director of Library Science de- f ———— partment, and statistics which com- pare our library to one other college library.) By BETTY MAYNOR According to the rating system of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the library at East Carolina College has never been below standard. Only once, during 1967, did the library receive a recom- mendation about changes that should be made. The recommendation was « |. , that the instructional expendi- Fn en teen tures should be increased for a lib- vary which offers graduate work.” During that year (1957) the ex- penditures were increased and since that time the library has met the standards set up by the Southern 4 ssociation. Since the library has often received criticism, certain faculty members, who have a knowledge of other lib- raries in the country and know how they function, were asked to give their opinions of the library on * campus.

Why are the government docu- ments not shelved or catalogued pro- perly, when there is adequate space to shelve them? A. East Carolina became a gov- ernment depository in Spring of 1951. Since that time all publications sent to us have been shelved. The pubti- cations which are in bundles in the stacks and have not been shelved are the ones we received from Washing- ton High School, which was the area government depository before we be- came such in 1951. All of the material was printed prior to 1951 and we are shelving it as fast as our limited help will allow. We will be another ten vears, with our help, getting it or- ganized. (Continued Next Week) James A. Lanier James Allen Lanier of Wilming- ton, has been elected president of the Wesley Foundation for the year 1960- 61. He will be graduated in May with a Bachelor's, Degree in Natural Sci- ence, and will return. next fall to do graduate study and to be a graduate assistant in the Science Department. Others chosen to membership on the Wesley Foundation Council are: Vice President, Walter Johnson; Sec- retary, Jane Cutrell; and Treasurer, James Ballard. ATTENTION The scholastic ments are as follows: (a) minimum require- A freshman must pass some work his first quarter. During his second and third quarters, he must earn at least six hours of credit each quarter. Furthermore, a_ freshman must earn at least 30 hours of credit during his first three quarters. (b) In order to be eligible to en- coll for the fourth, fifth and sixth ouarters, a student must have earned two-thirds as many quality points as he has hours at East Carolina Col- lege. (c) During the fourth, fifth, and sixth quarters, a student must earn not less than nine hours each quar- ter. Moreover, a student who fails to earn q total of 35 hours during tais period will be dropped. Credit is not counted again for a course which is taken to raise a non-failing grade. (d) A student will not be enrolled for any quarter after the sixth if he bas failed to earn as many quality points as he has total hours at East Carolina College. (e) Furthermore, third and fourth year students ust earn a minimum of 40 hours for each of the two years, nd 9° minimum of 9 hours each quar- ter.

John H. Horne Registrar and Director of (Admissions \to EAST CAROLINIAN | News In Brief Band To Present Annual Spring Concert May 12 The Concert Band under the direc- tion of Herbert L. Carter, of the Mu- sie Department faculty, will present their annual Spring Concert in the Wright Auditorium Thursday, May 12 at 8:00 p.m. This inaugural concert is in honor of President Leo W. Jenkins’ inauguration. “The program will be varied,” com- mented Mr. Carter, “and wi!l be very interesting from the standpoint of the listener.” A special number will be “Concertino for Percussion and Band.’ by Clifton Williams. This rember has recently been composed will feature a percussion ensem- Lle consisting of nine percussionists. Another number the band will per- torm is “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desic- ing,” by Johann S. Bach. Other numbers are “Horse and Buggy,” by Leroy Anderson; and “Ho iday for Winds,” by Glenn Osser. Both of these are light pieces. “Lin- by Perey Aldridge Grainger, is a collection of original folk songs of Lincolnshire in Eng- land. The band will also perform three marches; “Jubilee,’ an Ameri- March by George Kenny; “Fa- ther of Victory,” a French March by Louis Ganne; and “Aguerd, a Spanish March by Jose Franco. As a special feature the concert band will give the premiere perform- vance of “In Quest of Truth,” an sriginal composition for Symphonie Band, which was written especially for the inauguration by James H. Parnell of the Music Department. “This composition,” stated Mr. Parnell, “was written with the in- auguration in mind. I think it’s fit- ting at such an occasion as this to have a special work, which will ex- press man’s eternal search for truth and beauty ... for the better things of ‘ife.” “In Quest of Truth’ is neither a riptive piece nor a processional commented the composer, “but rather it is a tone poem. It hears out its title ‘In Quest of Truth,’ expressing man’s search for truth, with doubts and obstacles in his path; and it finally resolves into a triumphant ending.” Mr. Parnell is not a new comer in the field of composition, as he has omposed many before this one. Among his more recent ones is Yhorale, Variations, and Fin- trombone solo written last Jack Pindell’s senior recital. on and colnshire Posy oan a march,” pieces the ale,” a fa'l for Scientists To Do Summer Research Five members of the science de- yartment here will do research work or teach during the summer at vari- ous colleges and universities of the nation.

Hats off to the men who are striving to make East Carolina’s ath'etic teams ones to be prouder of! Take Me Out To The Ball Game If any of you baseball fans plan to attend East Carolina’s remain- ing baseball games to be held at Guy Smith Stadium, here is the sugges- tion that you leave your automobiles at home and walk out to the dall park. At a recent game held at the city stadium there seemed to be much confusion about the parking of cars. During the middle of an inning one of the Greenville (City Policemen approached the press box to make an an- nouncement. It seemed as though there were some spectators who kad double-parked in front of the ball park. It is not the policy of announcers to make interruptions during an inning, so the crucial announcement was made at the end of the stanza. The announcement was that anyone who had double-parked their cars would have to move them immediately or suf- fer the penalty of a traffic ticket. Before the announcer could click off his microphone, the owners of these illegally parked autos were up and running to move them. But before they could get to their cars, the en- forcers of the law had already placed tickets on them. Was this a fair deal? Regardless of whether it was fair or not, it is still the suggestion of this writer to leave your cars at home if you plan to watch a ball game xt Guy Smith Stadium. Although you may wear out a pair of shoes, look what you save in the long run.
