I � a college who completed their
rk in student teaching Wednesday
� i � last week includes the largest
( � r of teachers in elementary
on to be trained at the college
a sbigle quarter and East
na's first man student to be
ited in the field of primary
ration.
J. L. Oppelt, director of the
Bureau oi Student Teaching
Placement, reports that 66 wo-
und 47 men had teaching assign-
. nts n public schools in 13 towns
tern Nort.h Carolina during the
larter. They gained practical
rience in the classroom under
ervision of a large corps of
ers in the public schools and
of faculty members at the college.
First Male Finishes
L. Fristoe of Greenville is
first man to complete student
: ichmg at East Carolina .n the
i of primary education. A native
of Louisiana, Fristoe entered the
1 ere after three years of serv-
the Coast Guard. During the
luanter this year he taught in
third grade of the campus Train-
rig school under the supervision of
ice McGee of the college and
ng school faculties and Dr. Eva
amson of the college education
rtment.
Fristoe, who completed his work
East Carolina the fall quarter,
accepted a position in the West
rville school here.
� en students, Dr. Oppelt
� completed their work this fall
in the field of primary education,
and seventeen in the field at gram-
mar grade education. These students
compose the largest group ever to
do student teaching in elementary
education during a single quarter at
East Carolina.
Need For Elementary
Because of the acute shortage of
elementary grade teachers, the col-
lege has encouraged students during
b'ne past few years to teach in the
lower grades. The large number now
completing their work in this field
indicates the success of the effort.
Two students did their work in art
this quarter as compared to only one
in any previous quarter. These stu-
dents and three music majors taught
on both the secondary and the ele-
mentary levels in the Greenville pub-
lic schools. Five student teachers of
mathematics made up the largest
group in this field for any quarter
in recent years.
Centers where student teaching was
done by East Carolina seniors and
the number teaching in each were:
Greenville High school, 34; campus
Training school, 32; West Greenville
school, 4; Ayden, 6; Farmville, 2;
Wi'nterville, 4; Bethel, 6; Belvoir,
2; Grimesland, 7; Grifton, 1; Tar-
boro, 4; Rocky Mount, 6; Kinston,

Appearing on the campus of East Carolina in the next program on
the college entertainment series will be the Robert Shaw chorale, consisting

Students Register
For Winter Term
Work During Week
Eat Carolina college began the
winter quarter of the 1952-1953 term
Monday morning of this week. Indi-
cations are that enrollment of stu-
dents will be larger than for the same
period of the 1951-1952 term. Regis-
tration for work during the present
quarter will continue through Mon-
day, December 8.
New students entering East Caro-
lina for the first time and students
returning to the campus after the
Thanksgiving holidays spent most of
Monday consulting with their faculty
counselors and scheduling their cour-
ses for the quarter. Class work for
the quarter began Tuesday morning.
At present no official figures on
the number of students attending the
college this winter are available.
Registrar Orval L. Phillips stated at
the close of registration Monday aft-
ernoon that all signs point to a larg-
er enrollment for this quarter than
for the winter of 1951-1952. Last
year 1796 students, a peak erroll-
ment for the winter quarter at East
Carolina, were registered for courses
taught on the campus; and other
students were enrolled in extension
courses offered in various towns of
eastern North Carolina.
A Dramatic Arts workshop is be-
ing offered this winter for the first
time by the department of English
at East Carolina college. The course
will meet a demand among students,
particularly those planning to become
teachers, for practical theatre expe-
rience and training in the theoretical
background of dramatic arts.
Work has been so planned as to
enable those who complete the course
successfully to produce simple plays
in schools, clubs, churches and other
community organizations. The course
is being offered on the senior-grad-
uate level and is carrying three quar-
ter hours credit.
Dr. Lucile H. Charles of the col-
lege English department, director of
dramatic arts at the college, is di-
recting the workshop. Six other staff
members and a visiting instructor

past and it is hoped that many will
participate this year. The supper
will start at 5:30 p.m. and the forum
begins at 6.

certificates of eligibility before they
can draw any subsistence from Vet-

Brooks Hays, noted educational and
political figure will deliver the initial
address at the opening of Religious
Emphasis week Sunday, January 18.
Mr. Hayes, Representative of the
Fifth District of Arkansas in the
House of Representatives, was born
near Russellville, Arkansas, on Aug-
ust 9, 1898. He was raised in a home
in which politics and public affairs
played a big role, and upon grad-
uation from law school in llJ22 he
joined in a campaign to elect his
father to the congressional seat he
now holds.
That race was unsuccessful but it
set the stage for some of the most
vigorous campaigns in Arkansas his-
tory. In the same year he was elect-
ed secretary of the Arkansas State
Democratic convention, the youngest
man ever to hold that (position.
Arkansas Graduate
Mr. Hays attended public schools
in Russellville. He received his A.B.
degree from the University of Ark-
ansas in 1919 and LL.B. degree from
George Washington university Law
School in 1922. He has received two
honorary degrees of Doctor of Laws,
one from College of the Ozarks in
1945 and one from Salem college in
1947.
When only 29 years old Mr. Hays
sought the Democratic nomination
for Governor and running against a
field of seven, including the incum-
bent supported by a close-knit state
organization, finished second.
Two years later he again made
the race and he more than doubled
his popular vote, hut again finished
as runner up. His first success in
a state-wide iprimary came in 1932
when he was elected Democratic Na-
tional Committeemam for Arkansas,
receiving a large majority and car-
rying 73 of the state's 75 counties.
East Carolina students are
going to be in for a lot of laughs
when they attend the Teachers
playhouse performance of the
popular play "Charley's Aunt
The play, which has delighted
thousands of people since its
first appearance in London in
the 1890's, will be given on the
campus December 10, 11 and
12 in the College theatre. The
first two nights are special per-
formances for student audien-
ces.
"Charley's Aunt" by Brandon
Thomas is a gay, sprightly farce
which centers attention on the love
affairs of two young students at
Oxford university and on the trou-
ble they get into when a millionaire
auiit from Brazil fails to arrive on
time for r. visit. To avoid disaster,
the fellows persuade an undergrad-
uate to impersonate the aunt; and
then the mix-ups begin. Swift action
and funny dialogue carry the play
along to a hilarious close.
Johnny King, freshman from Clin-
ton, will have the ipart of Charley;
and Percy Wilkins of Benson will
play Jack Chesney, Charley's friend.
Lloyd Whitfield of Kinston, president
of the Teachers' playhouse, will ap-
pear as Lord Fancourt Babberley,
who impersonates Charley's rich rel-
ative from Brazil. Carolyn Clapp of
Greenville has the role of Donna
Lucia D'Alvtadorez, Charley's real
aunt, who finally shows up and adds
considerably to the complications of
the plot.
Also in the cast are Anne McCrary
of Durham and Billye Canady of
Clarendon, who play the sweethearts.
of the two young Oxford studentdH
Others who have acting parts Hj
"Charley's Aunt" are Ralph Rives ef
Enfield, Atwood Smith of Kinste
Larry Williams of Ocracoke and Pa
tricia Goodwin of Havelock.
Dr. Lucile H. Charles of the Eng-
lish department, advisor of WM
Teachers' playhouse, is directing Mb
play with the assistance of Carolpi
Clapp, student director. William Pe�
uel of Goldsboro is director of tilt
technical staff which is hand&iti
details- of staging the play, includ-
ing, costuming, make-iup, lighting;
scenery design and properties.
Brooks Hays
He was reelected in 1936 but re-
signed in 1939.
Mr. Hays tells the story on him-
self that his name has been on the
state-wide ballot so often that one
farmer refused to cast his vote in
one election, declaring "It ain't le-
gal. Brooks Hays' name is missing
Farm Authority
During his years of political ac-
tivity and law practice in Little
Rock, the state capital, Mr. Hays
developed a continuln�- interest in
social service work and he became a
recognized authority on farm tenan-
cy in the South.
During the Roosevelt administra-
tion he was called to Washington to
assist in writing a legislative pro-
gram under which tenant families
could become independent farm own-
ers. He regards his assistance in
drafting the Bankhead-Jones act a
one of the most gratifying incidenta
in his legislative career.
He has long fought for the ad-
� vancement of educational and eco-
nomic opportunities for Negroes in
the South and took an active part
in interracial organizations at a time
when such activity was considered
politically inexpedient. Since coming
to Congress he has continued his
interest in working out a solution
to that highly complex problem.
In an address on the floor of the
House on February 2, 1949, described
by the Southern press as one of the
most historic utterances in recent
years, he outlined a ,plan under which
the full rights of minority groups
could be achieved without sacrific-
ing the historic principles of any
section.
Public Servant
In addition to engaging in many
educational and political activities,
Mr. Hays has performed numerous
public services. As assistant Attor-
ney General of Arkansas he repre-
sented the state in many civil suits
involving validity of statutes and
regulations. In 1940-41 he served as
assistant director of Rural Rehabili-
tation.
His personal activities include:
member of Banking and Currency
committee; member of Lions club,
District Governor, Arkansas, 1925-
27; director of LtU Rock Conwnu-
roty Ohest Drive in 192ff ekairman

One down and two to go! Yep, the
Fall quarter is now history and work
for the winter term at East Carolina
is well underway. We believe that
everyone will agree with us when we
say that is sure seems good to be able
to have a fresh start. Knowing that
we might not have done as well last
quarter as we should have, all of us
pledge to ourselves that we will begin
working from the begining this time
and not get behind in our studies.
Now, where have we heard that one
before ?

OPERATION LIFT! Keep your
eyes peeled for all news concerning
Religious Emphasis week at East
Carolina this year. The program
promises to be one of the biggest
sudent projects on campus this year.
The Inter-Religious council has real-
ly been working on the annual event
which begins January 18.
Why Require Language
We understand that there is considerable
complaint on the campus by.students desiring to
major in the liberal arts because of the 20-hour
requirement in foreign languages. We feel that
this requirement should be removed from the
college curriculum and offer the following obser-
vations in support of the removal:
1 We are told that 87 per cent of the stu-
dents at East Carolina college are majoring in
the teaching degree, and we suspect that the
small number of students majoring in the liberal
arts is due to the foreign language requirement.
2. Foreign languages are not required of
those majoring in the teaching degree.
3. We do not understand why the argument
that the cultural aspects of foreign language
should apply to liberal arts students and not to
those who are preparing to be teachers. Is it
logical to think that teachers who are responsi-
ble for the instructions of the youth, should hare
less cultural training than others?
4. We feel that students, who do not want
to be teachers and who often are wholly unsuited
to become teachers, are forced into taking the
teaching degree because of the foreign language
requirement.
5. We feel that we are missing an oppor-
tunity to increase our student enrollment, when
promising individuals are forced to go to other
institutions to evade the foreign language re-
quirement.
6. We understand that when the college was
currently inspected by the American Association
of Colleges of Teacher Education that the com-
mittee was very skeptical of the foreign language
requirement and suggested that possibly this re-
quirement should be removed.
7. Moreover, there seems to be a tendency on
the part of many institutions to remove the for-
eign language requirement.
Padlocks On The Door
The men's day student room has been pad-
locked
If any chance visitor had entered the day
room any time during the past three months he
rould have been appalled. The students habit-
ly and wantonally threw all manner of trash
newspapers indiscriminately on the floor.
The loss of day room privileges is the fault
mo one's but the students.
The day room has been conveniently placed
disposal of the men's student body so that
may have a place to relax and study before
t. It is quite adequately equipped with sofas,
easy ifeairs and a radio. The students of East
are fortunate in having such a room but
that they do not appreciate it by the
lie way in which it has been used,
benefit of those students who have
to its proper use it is hoped that
will be restored, but if it is not
lina's students will have no one to
themselves.

The "East Carolinian" staff has un-
dergone a few changes with the be-
ginning of a new quarter. Bob Hill-
drup, managing editor last quarter,
replaces Lloyd Whitfield as sports
editor. Lloyd is doing his practice
teaching this quarter. Assistant Edi-
to Edwina McMullan moves up to
managing editor, and Parker Maddrey
takes over the duties as assistant
editor.
Janice Hardison asked to be re-
lieved of her duties as feature editor,
and Phyllis Carpenter has been named
to serve in the capacities of feature
editor. Jimmy Ellis and Jack Scott
have joined the sports staff to give
assistance to Bob.
"Golly, how I hate to leave this
place. I'd just love to stay here for-
ever
These words sufficiently express
Janice Harddson's opinion of East
Carolina college. This quarter may
be her last, though, because in Febr-
uary Janice will graduate with a
B.S. degree in English and a minor
in social studies. However, she hotpes
to immediately begin working on her
M. A. in the spring.
Janice has jus.t completed her prac-
tice teaching at Greenville high
school and as expressed in her own
words sihe said, "It's not nearly as
bad as people might expect. In fact
I enjoyed it more than any quarter
that I have been here. If it were
possible I'd gladly go back and teach
this term too At Greenville high
school she taught the short story in
her sophomore English class, and
grammar, along with some early
American literature, in her junior
class.
Likes Old Folks
Janice prefers teaching older stu-
dents to the younger, which practi-
cally explains her ambition to teach
in a university or college. Already
she is well on her way toward this am-
bition, for now she is teaching English
composition for freshmen here at
East Carolina. She started teaching
this course when she took Dr. Po-
sey's fourth period class last October.

YWCA last year, reporter for the
Martin county club and dormitory
counselor in Cotten hall.
Works On Newspaper
In the summer of 1952 Janice
served as editor-in-chief of the TECO
ECHO. There were only eight mem-
ber on the staff, but with much hand
work they managed to get out a
paper each week. This year she has
served as publications representative
of the senior class and feature edi-
tor of the "East Carolinian She is
resigning this editorship because she
feels that others should have tihe
opportunity to gain experience in
this type of jounalism and also her
time is completely used between
teaching and studying.
Janice lives on a farm near James-
ville. She said that her greatest am-
bition now is to paas the senior life-
saving course this December. At the
age of five she learned to swim in
a simall creek behind her house with-
out formal instructions. Now she says
that she must learn the names of
these strokes that she once learned.
Although Janice prefers writing to
teach hug for a career, she hopes u
combine the two ultimately.
(Editor's note: Though the 'East
Carolinian" does not make a habit
of expressing personal feelings in
this column, we feel that one would
be very appropriate at this time.
For one year and one quarter Janice
Hardison has served most faithfully
on this staff, and such ability and
constant help is hand to find at this
college on the newspaper staff. She
no doubt will long hold a record for
having written this student interview
column the most times. We hate to
see Janice leave us; but knowing
how faithfully she has served the
paper, all that we could say when
she asked to be relieved of her du-
ties was that we will surely miss
her. We hope that this little note
can express to some small degree our
deepest and most sincere apprecia-
tion for the fine job rendered this
paper and East Carolina.)
Football Players Follow Many Walks Of Life
Students go to college 14 days out
of every year, according to the
Southeastern, at Southeastern State
college in Oklahoma. Here's how the
paper figures it: Out of 365 days a
student sleeps away a third of this�
eight hours a day. This leaves 243
days. Then there are 52 Sundays.
Take at least half an hour per day
off for lunch and three months for
summer vacation.
Thus leaves 91 days. Now subtract
62 Saturdays, a couple of weeks for
Christmas holidays; throw in spring
vacation and Lhe Thanksgiving week
end. We are left with two weeks of
school each year. We will leave the
check of this problem up to some of
the better math majors.
The following letter was sent to
the editor of the Vermont Cynic. Uni-
versity of Vermont:
"To the Editor: I like your news-
paper. It is good. It is sometimes
funny. My roommate lets me read
it. I read it. I have a dog. His name
is Rusty. He likes to read it. I have
a cat. Her name is Kitty. Sh reads
it. I am in the first garde. I am 69
years old. Mother says I am crazy.
Mother is always right. I like your
newspaper. I am crazy.
"A Friend
The 1952 football season was
brought to a close when East
Carolina defeated West Virginia
Tech. With the closing of each
season, some of our boys grad-
uate and go out to take their
places among the former East Caro-
lina football players in every walk
of life.
This year of 1952 marks the twen-
tieth anniversary of a gridiron team
at this school. The first, which was
begun in 1932, wag coached by C. K.
Beatty, who is now the City Street
Department Superintendent in Green-
ville. When Coach Beatty started the
team he had an average of 14 or 15
boys out for practice each afternoon.
Having only the very minimum of
equipment, they practiced on the
To-aseball diamond of the college.
Uniform Shortage
There were uniforms for only 18
players available and all of the
equipment was donated by R. C.
Deal, Herbert Rebarker, Dr. Carl
Adams and Dr. Ronald Slay. It was
later settled as to how these men
would be repaid by the Student gov-
ernment. Beatty did not have enough
boys for a second string, so he formed
one squad and then he and the few
left scrimmaged against them.
The average weight of the players
ranged from 140-145 pounds. On the
trips Beatty could carry only 14 or
15 men. They played such teams as
State college freshmen, Wake Forest
freshmen, Campbell, Appalachian and
Guilford. Very few people attended
these games in spite of the hard work
that Beatty and his squad displayed.
Coach C. K. Beatty, who attended
both Guilford college and State col-
lege, started football here at East
Carolina and coached for two years.
We here today deeply appreciate his
by Phyllis Carpenter
rendering his time, experience and
services to give our college such a
beginning in this sport. The constant
trend upward has brought East Car-
olina to be known in the footiball
woild of today.
We would like to recognize the 24
members, including the managers, of
the first team.

William Nisbet is now in the cloth-
ing business in Wilmington; J. C
Wynne, who lives in Bethel, is in the
Chevrolet business; Bud Bullock and

in Washington, D. C, and Eric Tuc-
ker. Belmont Kittrell is now a vete-
rinarian in Florida.
Two of the members are here in
Greenville. John Hodges is a buyer

Troy Burnett of Nashville is an in-
surance salesman there; Woodrow

Carleton MacMillan from Moira, N.

On Thursday, January 15, 1953, the
two atomic spies to get the death sentence in
court history will walk the "last mile" to
electric chair in Sing Sing prison, New York.j
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are scheduled
die for their part in giving atomic secrets to
Russians. The death sentence, imposed by Ju(
Irving R. Kaufman, has touched off a wave
controversy throughout the nation and the worl
The Rosenbergs' Communist-backed lawyefl
have tried, so far in vain, to have the Rosenb. &
acquitted. Only interference on the part fo
President of the United States can possibly al
the scientist couple from death.
Many people throughout the United Staj
have asked to be present when the switch
thrown, but because of the small seating capacfl
of Sing Sing's death chamber only a few can �
accommodated.
The one issue that can possibly cause Prtfl
dent Truman to intervene is the condition that
the condemned pair reveal the names of thjj
fellow associates in the international Russiaa-
backed spy ring.
The Rosenbergs have two small children who
will be left homeless with the death of their par-
ents.
Key testimony given against the pair wag
handed down by Julius Rosenberg's brother-la
law, David Greenglass, who is currently under
30-year sentence for his part in the treason.
This case is unique in US court history for
it marks the first time that traitors hav- ever
been given the death penalty in peacetime. Many
people throughout the nation have disagreed with
the court's decision in handing down the deatk
penalty while others feel that the Rosenbergs are
only receiving their just reward.
It seems to us that, horrible as the R
bergs' treason is, the penalty is too stiff. W
it not be better if the condemned were sentenced
to a non-paroleable term of life imprisonment?
There is enough wanton killing going o:
the world today as it is without adding the
of two more people to the toll. The traitors
been removed from the position wherein they can
be harmful to the people of the United States
and condemning them to death cannot p -siWy
remove the damage caused by their past cruses.
True, their treason has been of the worst
and they should never again be allowed to
their native land, but still we should rem
that mercy, if at all possible, should not be
gotten.

Budgets Are Different Today
by T. Parker Maddrey
BWIPV-
In this era of "sky high" prices,
it is amusing to note the cost of
living here at East Carolina 40 years
ago. According to the Student Budg-
et book of August 1 to December
18, 1912, prices were comparatively
low to what they are now.
Salaries, for instance, hindered the
professors and college officials from
making their first million. The pres-
dent was the highest paid with
.$230 a month. The professors' sal
aries ranged from $166.67 to $50.
The dean of women received $66.66.
The dining hall chef got $35 a month
and his helpers made $2.50 a week.
How did they live on such sal-
aries? Well, their room and board
were taken care of by the school.
And, too, other living expense were
low to correspond with their salaries.
In those days this state institu-
tion practiced the "Live at Home"
program. They established a derm
for .pigs and a garden for vegetables
to supplement the food budget.
On August 31, 1918, one of the
pigs left the campus without sign-
It's been almost two weeks since V
Noona gave his performance of Rachmaninoff
with the college orchestra, but those of us Who
were present will long remember his exce: tionaJ
ability. It was an occasion well worth the heatiRff
as evidenced by the tremendous throng thai at-
tended. The Training school auditorium canpold
approximately 700 people but there were no-
where near enough seats. Spectators were stand-
ing six and eight deep in the rear of the theatre
and were lined up along both sides almost to the
stage.

ing out. He was found on Wiley
Brown's farm, which is now a resi-
dential section on Dickinson avenue.
This unexcused absence cost the col-
lege $1.50.
The gardener repair shop was paid
$1.80 for overhauling a college cart.
Of course the dining hall did some
trading too, because the garden and
the pigs did not furnish an adequate
supply of food. Everyday they bought
75 loaves of bread at five cents a
loaf. Occasionally they would buy a
quarter of beef at nine cents a pound
and four pounds of steak (which
was probably for Ih iaculty only)
at 17 cents.
When in season, 10 gallons of oys-
ters were purchased for $lu. They
bought 100 pounds of mutton for
$10; chickens at 18 cents, ham at 13
cents and turkey at 16 cents. The
Swift and company, who claims they
use every part of the pig but its
squeal, sold the dining hall 120
pounds of pig feet for $6.75. (Yum,
yum.)
We all went home last week for Thj&iks-
giving. We dined and danced; we had a holiday
from homework, and we were thankful,
during these weeks between ThanksgivindBlnd
Christmas why not simmer down and remeJaber
how lucky we are and honestly be thankful
For our country w'e should be thankful that
we have played an important part in limiting tho
war to a small portion of the earth's surface.
Even though we grieve that the war in KofWt li
continuing we can be thankful that a w rld-wlde
war has not yet started. We should be thankful
for the good things which have occurred in na-
tional and international affairs, because what-
ever happens touches the lives of each of us in
some way. We should be thankful for our families
and friends and for the opportunity of attending
East Carolina.

New Property Requirements
Now In Effect For Veterans
dmdnistration announced under general acceptability.
Veterans m
that minimum property requirements
are now in effect on all new con-
struction to .be purchased with the
aid of VA guaranteed or insured
loans.
Public Law 550 (Korean GI bill)
directed that such properties must
meet or exceed minimum require-
ments for planning, construction and
general acceptability if constructed
after September 14, 1952.
This provision, VA reported, does
not apply to homes which are com-
pleted at least a year before they
are purchased with GI loans.
VA minimum construction require-
ments, to assure veterans sounder
construction, have been mandatory
since 1950. However, under the law
VA'a minimum requirements for land
planning ami general acceptability
wore not mandatory until the enact-
ment of the Korean GI bill, VA said.
Coupled with minimum construc-
tion requirements, VA's code for
Land planning requirements are
designed to encourage the develop-
ment of new neighborhoods, so lo-
cated and planned as to provide rea-
sonable standards of comfort, at-
tractive surroundings for the occu-
pants, and a continuing desirability
for residential purposes.
News For Vets
Millions of World War II veteran
who hold 5-year or 8-yeaT GI term

the announcement in answer to nu-
merous inquiries concerning this right
under National Service Life Insur-
land planning and general accepta- ' ance (NSLI).
biHty will be known as VA Minimum VA said no law has been passed
by the Congress which takes away
or otherwise limits the right to con-
vert from term to permanent plans
of NSLI.
The only GI life insurance which
may not be converted under present
laws is the special 5-year noncon-
vertible term policy that is issuable
to veterans with service since June
27, 1950, the start of the Korean
hostilities.
Property Requirements.
VA's requirements for general ac-
ceptability are planned to encourage
tha design of dwelling units which

narily considered desirable in the
locality.

rooms, utility and heater rooms,
safety and privacy are considered
