How much do you think the Enter-
tainment committee had to pay to
bring Eugene Conley here for the
one night performance. That oae
program cost $1,000! A program like
the Robert Shaw chorale and ensem-
ble cost $2,500; however, there were
over 25 persons appearing in that
�night's entertainment.
Rogers and Hammerstein night,
which was brought here last year,
cost $2,500, but we believe that any-
one who heard the program will
agree with us when we say that it
was one of the best ever heard at
East Carolina.
Appearing here in February on the

be one of the better programs mak-

Lift: Live In Faith Today
We must all live in faith today, or our lives
will not be satisfactory. Without faith we have
nothing. Faith can move mountains. Religious

at East Carolina college, and the week's program
will carry the theme, "Live In Faith Today

We have never seen the like of

professor was overheard as saying
that he doubted if he would even

"Nice things come in small pack-
ages Well, that is the case of this
week's WHO'S WHO. Nora Ellen
Faulkner, a 5' 1" girl from Kinston,
has taken her place as one of the
most outstanding students on the
East Carolina campus.
She came to us from Grainger
high school in her hometown Fall
quarter of 1950 and has completed
every school year term and summer
school term since. By doing this,
along with much hard studying, she
will graduate after the first six weeks
of summer school this year, with a
BS degree in Primary Education.
Nora Ellen's grades are above av-
erage, but as she so modestly stated
to us, "I've managed to make the
honor roll a few times, but I'm cer-
tainly no genius
Not only does she have to keep
her studies up to date, but her self-
help job takes up much of her time.
She worked in the English office for
two quarters, and the winter of 1950
she transferred to the Entertain-
ment committee where she has work-
ed ever since.
"The typing that I took as an elec-
tive in high school has helped me
obtain my jobs here at EC she said.
"Of course at the time that I was
taking it, I had no idea that it would
be of much use to me except for
typing themes; but it has really-
helped me tremendously

to believo that the entire program for

very interesting and inspirational to
all who attend.

should not be too many excuses for

college life. Religion is certainly one topic which
should be included in a student's program while
ff to school. East Carolina offers a large variety
of vents for the benefit of those who wish to
develop themselves fully.
Football, basketball and baseball games play
a large part in the life of a college. No person j
should ever leave school without observing all
the sports activities that are offered.
Our college entertainment program brings
a selection of professional artists who are among
the best in their respective fields. We have opera
stars, magicians, dancers, piano players and other
talented personalities who appear here each year.
Human nature is so set up whereby none of
us enjoy all the things that happen. Some of us
like our ball games, while others had rather stay
in the dorm and read. There are those of us who
do not care for certain types of entertainment,
but our personalities are not supposed to be such
that we like everything all the time.
In like manner there are those of us who
may not like to hear sermons, although we feel
quite sure that there are none of us who do not
need to hear them. Every person in this nation
has a right to his own personal beliefs, and no
one has any right to deny him of them.
This country was set up by people who want-
ed to establish their own beliefs and faiths, and
that is the way that our life is run today. Despite
the high-pressure existence of which each person
is a part, the American people as a whole have
not forgotten their basic right to individual be-
liefs and faiths.
In comparison then, the coming week will
give us ah opportunity to partake in our inherent
freedom of religion and also present us with the
chance to further broaden our education in the
study of worship. Several speakers of varied opin-
ions will be here and their talks will be of per-
sonal value to each student. A chance for the
study of the greatest of all subjects, our religion,
will be presented to us during Religious Empha-
sis week. Let's use it well!
Speaking on the various nights will
be some very prominent men who
have been featured in the "East
Carolinian" in the past few issues.
We urge everyone to help the Inter-
Religious council make this annual
project a big success.

(This is a book report written on
the book HOW CAN I FIND GOD?)
The first and only way for you
yourself to find God is to get your-
self out of the way so that God can
find out. That may seem a rather
peculiar way to answer the question
"How can I find God?"�but it is not
the sheep that finds the shepherd,
the shepherd finds the sheep. Yes,
our search is His progressive finding
of us, for without Him we could not
seek Him and when we find Him and
are brought into a filial relation with
Him through the forgiveness of our
sins then He begins a work in us
which is the work of His grace and
not the result of our new effort or
resolution.
But first we must present our-
selves to God in a way so that He
will be able to reach us. There are
many ways of doing this for each
way would be for one and 7iot for
another. The question that must be
answered by all, however, is "Do I
really want to find Him?" We must,
in a word, want Him with our whole
mind and want Him for His own
sake and not for what we can get out
of Him�not even the undoubtedly
good things we want from Him.
Many of us find that we want Him,
and we do not want Him; for we
want His way, and we want our own
way and held in the grip of ouf
conflict, we are trying to live in two
worlds. We then settle down to what
we call a compromise, but the real
truth is that we are consciously or
unconsciously evading God. We must
);e doing so if He seeks us and yet
we are not found of Him.
Stop Evading Him
How can we stop evading GodOne
by Kay Johnston
of the ways is by repentance. But
first what is repentance? Repent-
ance is not mere self-reproach,
fear of consequences, or mere sense
of sin, but it is changing our way
of life. Quite frequently men hold
back from allegiance to God on the
ground that they do not understand
Christianity. Quite honestly the dif-
ficulties in the way of man are rarely
intellectual, for instance, you don't
find him holding iuack from riding
in a car because he is ignorant of
the principle of the internal combus-
tion engine. .It is more likely im-
purity, selfishness or bad temper.
Men also sometimes hide from God
in serri to their fellowman. The
first thiu� to learn in this situation
is first the Father's arms, then the
Father's errands. First the solving
of our own moral conflicts, then our
service to a hungry world. Half-
cured invalids are not efficient doc-
tors, and nicely veneered pagans are
not very effective prophets. Men
who have become used to dug-outs
make yoor leaders over the top at
dawn. And the matter comes down
to us all as a personal message, to
get the first thing right for ourselves.
Never must religion become a spe-
cies of dope to the individual, for we
must not blind ourselves to the fact
that religion is very attractive from
the mere point of selfishness. It of-
fers an inward peace, splendid hopes
and promises which reach even unto
a future life; but there is another
side to it all. To expect to find com-
fort and peace and rest without car-
rying out the obligations involved is
to seek an illicit shelter of the soul,
and so far from finding God it is to
evade the real God. Every Christian
truth, gracious and comfortable, has
a corresponding obligation, searching
and sacrificial.
Men who simply seek a kind of
illicit shelter for their soul in reli-
gion as an isolated kind of exper-
ience which has little power to help
them, and it will he to them like a
memory of some song they heard
years ago, vague and distant and
unrelated to life. Je.is doesn't say
"If you follow me, life will be a
crown with a wreath of roses He
indicates quite clearly that most prob-
ably it will be crowned with thorns.
Religion is a conquest, because
man is placed in touch with such
amazing resources that whatever
happens, nothing can conquer his
spirit. The man who has found God
that not insured himself against ca-
lamity, but has found One who will
show him how to turn calamity into
triumph.
Too often, though we do not per-
ceive it, there is a door which is shut
against God. Therefore we must look
for the door that keeps Him out. We
must pray for the Holy Spirit to
reveal this thing to us.
Often the door is a disguised self-
ishness, or a life of sin going hand
in hand with a love of righteousness,
or the fear of what people will say
and think.
When we find the thing which
stands in our way, then there must
be the surrender of that which is
keeping us from being found of Him.

for this issue of the East Carolinian
goes to Bobby Hodges, stellar center
for the last two years on Coach
Howard Porter's basketball team.
Hodges, now in his third year on

East Carolina's athletic fortunes.
Outstanding as Hodges' gridiron

athletic mark has been made in the
season's current ssport, basketball.

Last year Bobby continued his out-
standing court performances by
sparking the Pirates throughout the
"season. He finished off with an av-
erage of better than 20.points per
game. As of this year it seems as if
Hodges is once more going to have a
great season. Against the University
of North Carolina just a few days
ago, Bobby dumped in 15 points and
followed up with 34 point? two nights
later against Appalachian's Moun-
taineers. It looks like a great season
for East Carolina's Pirates, but
whatever the case one can be sure
that a large measure of success will
go ta one Bobby Hodges.

East Carolina college Pirates,
fresh from six consecutive triumphs
in North State conference basketball
play, take to the road tomorrow night
for the first of three important
league tilts.
Tomorrow's battle will see the lo-
cals at Hickory, where they will meet
the defending conference champion,
Lenoir Rhyne. The Bears have been
sputtering along for the first weeks
of rday but still present a potent
outfit that is still capable of repeat-
i ing last year's triumphs. East Caro-
! Una, however, defeated the Bears
� 71-65 in the Pirates' second outing
i of the season.
' Following Saturday's battle with
the Bears the Bucs will journey to
Cullowhee to take on the Catamount
of-Western Carolina Teachers college.
T"(iis will be the first meeting of the
young cage season betw en the Teach-
ers and the Pirates. Western North
Carolina sports writers rate the Cata-
mounts as the darkhorse of the
North State conference and the team
most likely to pull an upset in the
race for league laurels. The game
will be played Monday night, Janu-
ary 19.
The Pirates will round out their
three game tour for the week when
�they travel to Catawha on Wednes-
day to meet the Indians. In a pre-

Pace Buccaneers
To Win Over Elon
All-conerence forward Sonny Rus-
sell scored 10 points in a hectic last
quarter Saturday night as the East
Carolina college Pirates defeated Elon
76-75. The game was played in Elon's
Memorial gymnasium and marked the
first time the Christians have lost to
a conference foe this year.
Russell wound up with a total of
0 points for the game, but the most
important two came with 45 seconds
of playing time remaining. At that
stage of the game, the score was tied
73-73. A driving lay-up put the Pi-
rates ahead 75-73. Bobby Hodges
provided the actual winning margin
some 35 seconds later when he dump-
ed in a free throw.
- Hodges led the Pirates' scoring
with 23 points with Russell's 20 sec-
ond high. Charlie Huffman, the big
junior from Thomasrville who almost
went to Elon, was third man in the
Pirate race with 19 points.
Despite the scoring efforts of the
Pirates' "big three game scoring
honors for the night went to Elon's
Ben Kendall. The All-State and All-
Conference forward from Kokomo,
Ind. scored 29 points for the Chris-
tians. Billy Hawkins took runner-up
honors for Elon with 20 points.
The game, close all the way, was
tied twice and the lead changed hands
10 times in the last eight minutes of
action. Russell and Kendall accounted
for most of the scoring after that
time.
The victory was the Pirates' fifth
straight over North State conference
opposition.

Sonny Russell Scores
28 As Buccaneers Stay
Undefeated In League
by Sam Hux
It was just too much Sonny Rus-
sell and Bobby Hodges Tuesday night
when East Carolina's Pirates bat-
tered Guilford' Quakers 81-63 in Me-
morial gymnasium. The win gave the
locals a 6-0 conference record and
the loop lead.
The Bucs' All-conference pair, Rus-
sell and Hodges, scored over half the
BCC points, as Russell dropped in
28 and Hodges 24. Russell also stood
out with his terrific floor ply.
Jumping to an early 6 1 lead the
Pirates led all the way. At the end
of a somewhat slow first quarter,
the Bucs were out front, 16-11. Then
the locals turned on the heat in the
second quarter for 31 points and a
47-31 lead at intermission.
Guilford's Bob Shoaf, a fancy for-
ward, turned in a spectacular per-
formance which netted him 22 mark-
ers. He was followed by Callicut
with 13.
Russell and Hodges were the only
Bucs to score in the double figures.
Cecil Heath bucketed nine points
while Charlie Huffman turned in an

Marine Corps Offers Seniors
Specialized Officers Training
A majority of the college seniors
and graduates who enoll now for the
Marine Corps Officer Candidate
course which will be conducted in
March, 1953, will receive specialized
training, Captain Nate L. Adams,
USMC, declared this week.
After completing ibasic officer
training 57. per cent of the graduates
of this program will be assigned to
specialists schools at Marine Coups
schools, Quantico, Va. The remaining
43 per cert, he stated, will be as
signed infantry billets.
-The need for college men is great-
er than ever before uue to the pre-
sent expansion he observed. "Such
course, as Supply, Engineering, Na-
val Gunfire, Motor Transport, Com-
munications, Naval Flight Training
and others are available
Captain Adams said officer train-
ing programs are open to both collage
graduates and seniors who graduate
between now and March 1, 1953. Ap-
plicants may be married or single. He
advised interested college men to
contact the Marine Corps Officer
Procurement office, Room 1105, 1400
Pennsylvania avenue, N. W Wash-
ington, D. C� or .call Executive
3-7585 for an interview
Once selected, an applicant is en-
listed in the Marine Corps reserve
and attends a ten-week training
course at the Marine Corps schools,
Quantico, Va. (35 miles from Wash-
ington, D. C). Upon completion of
this course the candidate becomes a
Second Lieutenant and serves for
two years on active duty as a com-
missioned officer. �
Application forms for the March
class (and the July class, for June
graduates), are available at the Ma-
rine Procurement office. He stated
it is advisable for prospective can-
didates to apply as soon as possible.
Presbyterian Junior college was
East Carolina's opponent in the first
night game ever played by the locals.
The Pirates triumphed 40-0 that Oc-
tober night in 1940.

Mews For Vets
Veterans holding National Service
Life Insurance and other forms of
Government life insurance were ad-
vised by the Veterans administration
that thv may make a savins: fc� the
payment of premiums if ttiey are
abie to pay them in advance on a
quarterly, semi-annual or annual ba-
sis instead of every month.
Veterans who are able to pay pre-
miums in advance in this fashion will
have a reduction over the regular
monthly premium rates of 3 per cent
per year.
Paying premiums every three
months, six months or twelve months
has another definite advantage over
monthly payments, VA said, in that
there is much less chance of the
veteran overlooking one of the month-
ly payments and running the risk
that his insurance may lapse.
As a taxpayer, a veteran will be
contributing to more economy in
Government costs if he is able to pay
insurance premiums on an advance
basis istead of each month. A small-
er number of monthly payments to
be received and processed by VA
means a savings in the number of
employees required for this work.
For the benefit of veterans who
are receiving regular compensation
or pension payments, VA reminded
that they can authorize their regional
office to deduct Government insur-
ance premiums each month from the
payments due them. This method is
helpful and time saving and the vet-
eran can avoid any worry about
meeting the premium payments as
they fall due, since VA will take the
responsibility of making them on
time. Information on this can be
obtained from any VA Contact Rep-
resentative.
VA Offers Education Advice
For veterans who will apply for
education or training under the Ko-
rean GI bill, Veterans administration
offered advice on two important items
that must be listed in their appli-
cations.
The first is a listing of the vet-
eran's educational or vocational goal
and the second is a statement of how
he proposes to reach the goal.
A careful consideration of both the
goal and the means of reaching it is
vital, VA said, because the Korean
GI bill provides that a veteran may
make one change in his course after
he has started it, hut no more than
one.
Rxamples of goals would be law or
medicine as professional aims; high
schools or college diplomas as edu-
cational aims; or carpentry or plumb-
ing as vocational aims.
Example of the listing for meth-
ods if reaching the goal would be a
statement of the highest degree to
gotten, if a college or universi
course is involved. If the vetei
does not aim for a degree to
educational training, he should
the actual subjects which will
taken under his l'n. In vocatioi
training, a description of the
of worn touid be gTven.
Korean veterans wishing to api
for education or training who
not sura of their goal or m
retching it may receive sp�
cational guidance from VA. Oi
application form they should ch
the ox which requests guida
For benefits under the GI bill vi
emng who have served in the arrnli
forces anywhere in the world n
eligible. There are now appr
ly 1,500,000 such veterans, VA i
of whom many are expected to
for education or training
coming spring term.
