C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1961 Groups To Conduct Workshop, Concert Here This Weekend The All-State Orchestra and the All-State Orchestra Workshop will be on campus this weekend, January 27-29, to rehearse and then te present a concert on Sunday. Frederick J. Mulfer, for Scher] and Roth Inc., “leveland, Ohio, will rehearse and conduct the orchestra at the concert, which will be at 2.30 ».m. Sunday in Wright Auditorium. Nicholas Erneston, from Appala- chian State Teachers College, will be in charge of the Workshop, which will present a concert on Sunday also. The purpose of the All-State Or- chestra and Workshop is to give tal- ented high school musicians an oppor- tunity to get together and rehearse under a different and well qualified director, and to play with the better young musicians in the state. Here, they are able to perform more diffi- cult music than they are accustomed to playing in their high school or- ganizations. They also have an op- portunity to meet people, and they vet a taste of college life. The All-State Orchestra is held at a different school each year. The last time it came to EC was in 1956. The students who are included in the orchestras are chosen through auditions. Those towns which are rep- resented are: Greenville, Charolette, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, High Point, Kinston, Raleigh, Smithfield, Blade: boro, and Burlington. The All-State Orchestra will per- form: “Firebird Suite,” by Stravin- sky; “Brandenburg Concerto,” Bach; “Scherzo,” from “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” by Mendelsshon; and “Sym- phony No. 6,” second movement, by aikw They will also perform: “Ballet Music,” from “Prince Igor,” by Borodin; and “Violin Concerto,” by Vivaldi-Muller. Muller is directing his wn transcription. This orchestra will also perform at the Southern Division of MENC at Asheville, in the spring, under the same conductor. The Workshop will perform: Pre- lude on the Welsh Hymn “Rhosy- medre,” by R. V. Williams-Foster; “Symphony No. 2,” by Haydn; “Ron- do Expressivo,” by Beethovan; and highlights from “South Pacific,” by Rodgers. Dr. Malvin Artley, President of the State High Schoo) Orchestra, from Burlington will be in charge of ar- rangements for the weekend event. He will be assisted by Mr. Kimble Harrimen, of Greensboro; Miss Mar- tha Leonard, Greensboro and Donald Hayes, Louis Danfelt, and James Par- nell all of the EC Music Faculty. educational director Sororities Pledge Fifty-One Glamour Contest All girls wig would like to compete in Glamour Magazine’s 10 best dressed ‘girls contest are urged to submit their names to the editor of the East Carolinian. an Panhellenic Formal Rush Concluded; Anticipation, Expectancy Prominant Sorority formal rush _ concluded January 21 at 1:00 p.m. when rushees yicked up their fina] bids in the Pan- hellenie room. As the rushees assembled outside the Panhellenic room, a noticeable air of expectancy was: present. An- ipation was evident as the rushees entered the room to collect their bids. As soon as the bids were received there was mixed emotion through- out the room; girls were laughing and crying, some from pleasure, some from appointment. The eight sororities and the number of pledges they received in formal rush are: Alpha Delta Pi, 10; Alpha Omicron Pi, 2; Alpha Xi Delta, 5; Alpha Phi, 3; Delta Zeta, 7;* Kappa Delta, 4; Sigma Sigma Sigma, 10; and Chi Omega, 10. Eighty girls signed up for rush; and fifty-one of these were pledged. dropped out of before the final parties, nine went to the last parties and did not not sign a preferential sheet. Twelve Fourteen rushees st Student Discovers Cheaper Carvacrol ‘Purification Means Ralph E. Mayo, while working un- der the direction of Dr. Joseph Le- Conte, discovered a new and cheaper method for the purification of car- vacrol. His achievement marks the first major break-through this area in over two years of experimen- tation. Carvacro] is an intermediate com- pound from which the parent sub- stance (5-aminocarvacrol) for a series of substituted thioureas of therupeu- tic value can be composed. The dis- covery of this new purification meth- od is the key to the composition of N,N’-diarylthioureas (substituted thi- cureas). Prior to Mayo’s work N,N- diarylthioureas were composed only at such expense that experimentation with them was impractical. Presently, Ralph is working under a National Research Foundation Grant and is now doing work which will lead to preparation of the actual N,N’-diarythiourea compounds. Ralph, a Greenville native, is a junior here. He is a chemistry ma- | jor and is a member of Phi Sigma Pi, National Honorary Fraternity for 'Men in Education. in | Cadets of the Air Force ROTC Honorary Drill Team, staging a Marchathon in Greenville Jan. 21, for the local March of Dimes drive, broke their last year’s record in both time and money. Braving snow and freezing tem- iperatures, 21 cadets executed pre- drill movements for twelve }hours and five minutes. Collections totaled $628.12. Last year the March- athon, first to be staged by the EC Air Force ROTC, lasted exactly twelve hours and netted a little less than $500. As the cadets marched an esti- inated 60 miles during the day, tele- crams of congratulation came to them from Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr.; Jack McGee, state representa- tive of the March of Dimes; Con- gressman Herbert C. Bonner; and Senator B. Everett Jordan.

The conference on Dating, Engage- ment, and Marriage was developed around the theme “Marriage for Bet- ter or Worse” in a series of four major meetings and a number of dis- cussion groups.

Members of the unit marched in full uniform and carried M-1 rifles. Cadet Captain Frank E. Grayiel solicited contributions over a public address system during the day. Members of Angel Flight, auxili- ary of the Arnold Air Society, under the command of Major Mary Eliza- beth Powell served marching cadets with coffee and refreshments and collected donations during the long march. Cadets, all volunteers for the Marchathon, participating in Satur- ‘signed preferential sheets, but re- ceived no bids of their choice. Due to the fact that some girls only stated one preference they did not receive a bid, as there was limita- tion to quota. Rushees who received bids but declined them will be eligible to participate in rush again for one calendar year The mechanics of rush this year were quite successful, and the Pan- hellenie Council was pleased with the results. There were some sororities who did not pledge as many girls as they had hoped to mpledge, but much valuable experience was gained. The sororities worked together harmo- iously throughout the planning of in- Science Class Attempts New Electronics Project Armed with high hopes and much enthusiasm, Dr. R. M.

It seems each time we become hopeful some- thing disastrous happens which lets our feathers down.” Work began as a class lab assign- ment, but was continued as a private project for weeks. The students have evoted much time and study to this experiment. It was necessary to build the equipment for the project. The for baking the tubes were made with tin cans, asbestos, a heat- ing element and great imagination. Tube after tube was broken in its final stages, but patience and in- terest were too strong for the idea to be abandoned. Finally success came. Two tubes have been completed. Working on the triode amplifying tube were Amy Sue Gwaltney, Jack H. Riddick, and David L. Persinger. The diode recti- fying tube, which changes current from AC to DC, was constructed by Donald Prince, Agnes Rhue and Sue Smith. ress. ovens ROTC Breaks Marchathon Record day’s cluded, and March of Dimes project in- Grayiel: James W.

Rush probably served only to strengthen these tentative decisions and, as a result, many girls placed cnly one Greek name on their prefer- ence sheets.

Our hats are off to these girls who made a definite choice and who would rather have nothing than not to have their chosen group.

Students Observed In Different Light Dear Editor: I think it’s about time someone in- formed the students here at East Carolina that “they” chose the school, and the school did not choose them. There is someone grading this institution for every- thing imaginable — such as_ the school spirit, lack of leadership, poor administration, poor professors, etc. It is taken for granted that we can do nothing about the administration or the faculty of professors, but we can do something about the spots.” It’s time for us to take some pride in our school and be proud of its position. For those who wish they were going to receive a diploma from UNC, Duke, or WF, then there is an open door. If we, as students, have no interest, spirit, or pride in our school, then how can we expect anyone else to have or do that which we ourselves will not. the group too, constantly de- “sore Michael L.

Poday let us address ourselves toa question that has long rocked and roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at a | college than at a large college? answer this question it is exactly, do we mean by a in order to be called truly necessary first to define terms. small college? Well sir, some say small, a college should have an llment of not more than four students. I certainly have no quarrel with this statement; @ four- student college must unquestionably be called small. Indeed, one could even call it intime if one knew what intime meant. But I submit there is such a thing as being too small. Take, for instance, a recent unfortunate occurrence at Crimscott A and M. Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestled between Denver and Baltimore, was founded by A. and M. Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1706 to escape the potato famine of 1841. Asa result of their foresight, the Crim- scott brothers never went without potatoes for one single day of their lives—and mighty grateful they were! One night, full of gratitude after a hearty meal of French fries, cottage fries, hash browns, and au gratin, they decided to show their appreciation to this bountiful land of potatoes by endowing a college. They stipulated that enrollment should never exceed four students because they felt that only by ry the {ullbacy could each student be camaraderie, the feeling of belonging, in higher education. keeping the college this small Wh del by GRE assured of the personalized attention, the that is all too often lacking Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturday a few years ago. scheduled against Minnesota, On this day Crimscott its traditional rival.

In the last encounter between the two clubs this year, EC took a 35-72 win. The game followed Lenoir Khyne’s victory over the Bucs, and showed an ability the Pirates have for coming back after a sound beat- ing. The Cats from Cullowhee have a relatively inexperienced basketball team, as evidenced by the fact that there are only freshmen and sopho- mores on the team. Two sophomores and three fresh- men regularly compose their start- ing lineup, and the first two re- serves are one fresh and one sopho- However, the main strength of the WC club stems from its tre- mendous height. The starters run 6 ft. 8 in., 6 ft. 5 in, 6 ft. 3 in, and 6 ft. 1 in. All reserves who play are over 6 ft. 5 in This could result in trouble for the Pirates, who are not as tall as their opponents. Western Carolina is in the second half of conference standing, and this two-game road trip could bolster the Cats standing.

This game will be the second of a four game homestand, curing which the Pirates are look- ing to play giant-killer and take all four. A main reason for such opti- misim is that Charley Lewis, Lacy West, and Bill Otte are scoring more than they were earlier in the season nd this added scoring punch should help in this second half drive to cop- onference laurels.
