Religious Leader
Talks To Members
Of Circle K Club
Speaking on the qualities of a good
leader, Dr. James L. Stoner, Director
of the University Christian Mission
of the National council of the Church-
of Christ in the United States,
es
spoke before members of the Circle
K club at East Carolina at a meeting
Tuesday night at the Olde Towne Inn.
On the campus as a leader of the
annual Religious Emphasis week ac-
tivities, Dr. Stoner stressed the im-
portance of good leaders to organi-
zations and advised members of Cir-
cle K not to spread their leadership
over too large a field. He further
added that it was best to do a good,
thorough job for one club.
Club President Al Harrington an-
nounced plans for the annual Duck
Deifiy event which will be sponsored
m campus at a date in the future.
Committees were named to begin
work on the yearly club project.
A report was given on the prog-
ress of planning to give a trophy to
'he outstanding basketball player at
East Carolina. Circle K has taken
this idea as an annual affair, and
the trophy will be presented at the
half of the last home game to the
outstanding player of the year. The
player will be selected by a vote of
the members of the team.

In discussing the growth of the

forld conference on Faith and Order
hich he attended last summer in
veden. Beginning with the Inter-
itional Missionary conference in

representatives of 116 denominational
bodies from 41 different countries of
the world. He gave a vivid picture
of outstanding personalities at the
conference and described some of the
impressive events, such as the joint
communion service at the cathedral.
Results of the conference, he stat-
ed, were that memfoers became ac-
quainted with points of view with
which they were previously unfami-
liar and developed sympathy with
and appreciation of many of these
views. Those attending departed, he
said, with a "strengthening of the
idea that greater unity is needed
After his lecture, Dr. Pruden an-
swered a number of questions asked
by members of the audience. Con-
tributors of ideas and comments

The factual study of religion in
the public schools is fundamental in
general education, Dr. Clarence Lin-
ton, professor of education at Teach-
ers college, Columbia university, stat-
ed at a meeting of the East Carolina
college faculty Monday afternoon.
Dr. Linton, who is a visitor on the
campus during Religious Emphasis
week distinguished between "factual
study" and the teaching of religion
in an effort to create belief or to
indoctrinate. He emphasized the right
of the citizen to freedom of belief.
Dr. Linton has recently made a
national survey on the subject of
religion in pulblic education for the
Committee on Religion and Educa-
tion of the American Council on Edu-
cation. This study is based on data
collected over a wide area in this
country.
In beginning his discussion of the
controversial subject, Dr. Linton gave
as basic assumptions the ideas that
religion is an important factor in
human life and "intrinsic to the on-
going experience of education
9 A three-fold goal of religious in-
struction in the schools, he stated,
is to make young people "literate
about religion, to make them "intel-
ligent in understanding the role of
religion in human affairs and to
give them the "sense of personal
obligation to achieve conviction
Three approaches in education, he
said, are the avoidance of religious
instruction; planned religious activi-
ties, such as weeks of Religious Em-
phasis held on many campuses in the
nation; and the factual study of re-
ligion. The last, he said, seems the
desirable type of instruction in gen-
eral education.
Issues involved, he pointed out, are
"Will the public let you do it?" and
"Can we prepare teacher for doing
the job?"
Lack of religious instruction in the
schools, he said, tends to create the
effect of making religion seem un-
important in education. After many
years, he concluded, we may achieve
a change. In the interim, he advised,
only highly trained teachers should
be allowed to experiment in the
public schools to see what is in-
volved in the factual study of reli-
gion as part of general education.

We are going to run a column on
a few facts and figures on highway
safety which we thought might be in-
teresting for our reacers. Not know-
will be using figures and percentages
of 1951.
There were 28,590 persons from
the ages 15-64 who met death on the
highway 44.4 were pedestrians while
23.1 per cent were in cars. Bicycles
accounted for 15.3 per cent of the
deaths, while 13 per cent died as
result of non-cohision accidents.
Looking into the age groups of
drivers in accidents, we found that
only 2.3 per cent of the accidents
were caused by drivers under 18
years of ae. From 18 to 24 the
figures revealed that there were 18.6
per cent and from 25-64 the per-
centage was 76.7, but we understand
that there would be many more driv-
ers in that age group. Over 65 years
of age, where there would be fewer
drivers, there was 2.4 per cent

Our Value To Greenville
How much do you think that East Carolina
is worth to the city of Greenville? Have you
really ever thought of how much money is spent
in'Greenville by students of this college alone?
Our figuring, which might be over or under
what the true figures might reveal, shows that
each vear we, the students at East Carolina,
spend'over one million dollars in this community
Smiles from the merchants always greet the
students of this college as they enter the business
establishments, and one can easily see why. Many
Greenville merchants look forward to seeing the
first of school each year more than they look
forward to seeing the tobacco market open, though
both reallv are important to Greenville.
Last year a survey by one department of
the college" revealed that the average college stu-
dent spends approximately $50 a month with
dowtown merchants. Does this amount seem to
sound high to one? If it does sound a bit high,
just stop and figure for yourself.
Looking over the list of just a few of the
items which students purchase here one might
change his mind very quickly. How much do you
suppose the average student might spend for
movies alone in a month's time? Clothiers get
many dollars each month direct from this cam-
pus; drug stores sell an innumberable number
of essentials to the students; students operating
automobiles find that their monthly spendings
will run over the $50 average; and many persons
eat as many as half of their meals at downtown
restaurants.
These items are just a few that come to our
mind, but we feel that any student could quickly fjut the reas0n is probably because
there are just more cars on the road
then.
Or only advice is to DRIVE
SAFELY!
drivers had had over one year
driving experience prior to their ac-
cident. Then men may not like this,
but male drivers were the victims
of 89.3 per cent of the accidents.
Siding with the males, we might
add that there are more male drivers
and that the male drivers cover many
more miles on the highway.
Contrary to what many persons
might tend to think, our study of
highway accidents showed that 77.7
per cent of the accidents occurred in
clear weather, while 68.4 happened
on 3ry highways. These figures go
to show that drivers are much more
careful under bad driving conditions.
Taxis and buses proved safer than
passenger cars, though here there
would not be as many on the high-
way. Passenger cars were involved
in 81J per cent of the vehicles fa
fatal and non-fatal accidents.
Sixty-seven per cent of the auto-
mobiles and other vehicles in acci-
dents were traveling straight, while
11.6 were stopping or slowing down.
Over 57 per cent of accidents caused
by vehicles occur at intersections.
Only 22.8 per cent occur on the
straight highway.
Less than 3 per cent of all the
motor vehicles appear in bad me-
chanical condition, with one per cent
of those defective being with brakes.
�If you want to drive at the safest
hour of the day, you will htve to
rise early. Less than two per cent
of the accidents occur during the
hour from 6 to 7 a.m. The hours of
3 to 8 p.m. proved to be the most
dangerous ones in which to operate
a vehicle.
Tuesdays seemed to be the safest
day on the highway, with 11.1 per
cent of the accidents taking place
that day. As nearly everyone
Sports announcing, sports writing,
sports editing, in fact sports in any
way, shape or form seem to appeal
to this week's Who's Who, Lloyd
Whitfield. If you have ever attended
any East "Carolina athletic events,
you have no doulbt heard this Kin-
ston senior announcing the plays of
the game, and until this quarter he
has been writing and editing the
sports page of the school paper.
Lloyd said that he thoroughly en-
joyed journalism and really missed
not having the time to write articles
or just sit in the "East Carolinian"
office and talk.
"When I wrote a sports column in
'the TECO ECHO, now the 'East
Carolinian he said, "Dr. Jorgensen
was the subject of numerous critical
attacks concerning the scheduling of
service teams; however, I now know
for a fact that he contacted several
colleges down the east coast and
found difficulty in reaching contract
agreements because of the money
required to bring large schools to
our campus. Our seating capacity
isn't sufficient to draw a crowd large
enough to pay traveling expenses
of an out-of-state school
Planned To Transfer
His irterest in journalism is so
great that he had previously planned
to transfer to the University of
North Carolina his junior year and
make it his major, but he said, "I
came here and made so many good
friends and loved East Carolina so
well that when the time came to
transfer, I just couldn't do it

Practice Teaching Now
Lloyd, an English major and so-
cial studies minor, is doing his prac-
tice teaching at Greenville high
school this quarter. In his tenth
grade cla-s he is teaching the short
storv and in the eleventh grade a
unit" on "Finding Your Life's Work
All practice teachers have amusing
experiences and Lloyd is no excep-
tion to this rule.
As many others have discovered,
Lloyd too has found that practice
teaching has made him mature more
than all of the rest of his college
days together. He said that you learn
more while teaching than you could
possibly learn in classes as far as the
knowledge of actual teaching is con-
cerned.
Lloyd came to us in the fall of
1949 and will graduate at the end
of this quarter. If he doesn't get a
commission in some branch of the
service, he will be drafted and after
serving with Uncle Sam a while, he
plans to come back to East Carolina

Hi June,
I received your lovely card on

surprised but happy to get it. I can't
say that i had a very happy Christ-

the time. In fact, we had been there
since Thanksgiving. I'll bet that we
had something that you didn't have

In everyone's life, there are many
embarrassing moments. This week
"East Carolinian" took an extensive
survey among students to get their
most emlbarrassing moments. Some
were too embarrassing for print and
some were. . . . oh, never mind.
The question of the week: "What

The answers:
Stuart Arrington, Southport: My
most embarrassing moment was over
a broken date. Boy one calls for a
date and I accept. Boy two calls for
a date, and I accept also. I call boy
one to break date. When the fatal
night comes, boy two picks me up
with another couple in the car, who
happens to be boy one and his date.

POT POURRI
by Emily Boyce
At Frankfurt university are study-
in- about 5,000 students. There is no
one living in dorms, fraternities or
rooming-houiis. They all have their
own rooms on rent without a-ny
kinds of regulations or restrictions.
And there is no student party in-
side and outside of the university
without alcoholic drinks.
Students greet their professors in
class by knocking with pencils on
the desks. If they are not agreeing
with their professor, they will dem-
onstrate their contrary opinion by
scraping with feet. Today, because
most are wearing crepe-shoes, it is
more popular to hiss by mouth.
Agreeing is expressed by knocking
with pencils or by trampelling. It
happens very often that one part of
the class agrees, while the rest is

students,
up to these
Jo
USA in Germany there is a funda-
mental difference. The kids in Ger-
many enter high school at the age
of 10 and stay there for nine years.
During this time they have to take:
Nine years English, six years Lat-
in, four years a third language
(French, Italian or Spanish), one
years biology, five years chemistry,
nine years geography, six yeas, phy-
sics and nine years of mathematics.
In addition, they must take sports,
history, German, religion, music and
drawing.
About 45 per cent of all German
children are going through high
�chool.
German universities expect that a
student will do the most important
part of his studies at home by read-
ing books. Courses have only the
functions of introductions. There are
no textbooks.
The professor names a certain
number of books. The student has to
decide what he wants to read. By
this way, it is possible that a Ger-
man university has about six months
vacation during a year.
But a serious student has to study
rather hard during this time.
Many students renounce certain
classes if the professor is not out-
standing. They will register for the
class and prefer to read good books
in the field at home.
There are no tests and examina-
tions betwieen the situdies. After
three to four years the student will
pass a big and difficult examination
to get the master degree.
He will apply for permission to
take the examination if he has the
feeling of being well prepared. But
almost 30 per cent wilT fail and can
repeat the exam after a certain
time.

Dumping the Points
Monday night's loss to Western
Carolina was a disappointing one to
come hard on the heels of the Lenoir
Rhyne game. From all reports the
Pirates' 102-97 defeat was one of the
greatest displays of offensive basket-
ball ever seen in the Cullowhee gym.
Ronald Rogerss the Catamounts' All-
American forward, matched Sonny
Russell basket for basket in as thrill-
ing a court duel as has ever been
staged. Russell ended up the evening
with 35 points to Rogers' 36. Sixteen
of Rogers' markers came via the
free throw line.
By the time this issue is printed
the Pirates will have played one
more conference game, that being
with Catawl ia's winless Indians. Fol-
lowing the game at Salisbury the
locals will play at High P:nt and
then will be at home for all but two
contests, one at Appalachian and one
just a few miles away at Atlantic
Christian.
Some criticism of the Pirates' sche-
dule has been heard, but perhaps this
four-game road trip, disastrous so
far, will have its good points after
all. When the team returns home for
the Atlantic Christian game January
30 the remainder of the schedule will
definitely be in their favor, and the
Bucs should once again be able to
grab the top spot in the North State
conference.

CAROLINA GRILL
24 Hour Service
Unsurpassed by any basketballer
in the state, both as an offensive
phenomenon and a defensive special-
ist, Sonny Russell is beginning to
monopolize the ATHLETE OF THE
WEEK column.
The class of the local dribble derby
has shown All-American potential in
every contest. His latest sensational
exhibition was against a victorious,
but bewildered Western Carolina five
as he bucketed a tremendous 35
points. Lauded as the greatest one-
night performance ever portrayed
at the Catamount gym, his sparkling
play will li'ftger in the minds of the
Western Carolina spectators for some
time. Most of his pointage came from
difficult angles and many shots were
previously thought impossible.
The agile and jet-propelled Russell
will fake you, take you and massa-
cre you! His capabilities are he envy
of all less-talented cagers around
the loop, and admiration is readily
shown by them. His relentless bril-
' fiance makes him a coaches' dream
in reality.
Sonny is a terrific drawing card
and the galleries fill with Russell-
infatuated fans. He is a remarkable
playmaker, and when he sets up a
play the "oohs" and "ahs" flow with
abundance. Plays that would ordi-
narily stand others on their heads are
executed by Russell with the ease
and grace of ballroom dancers. His
tantalizing lay-up shot is one for
speculation. No one, anywhere, can
dunk 'em better than Sonny when it
comes to this.
As we've said before, this whole
sports page could be devoted to Son-
ny Russell and there wouldn't be
any exaggeration!
At a banquet held last week at
the Proctor hotel members of the
1952 Pirate football squad and coach-
ing staff were honored. Various dis-
tinguished guests were present in-
cluding John Daughtry, former mem-
ber of thj Pirate squad who was
unable to participate during the past
year due to illness.
Daughtry, who plans to re-enter
East Carolina soon, was presented
with the football used during the
East Carolina-Elon gridiron clash.
The members of the Pirate squad
voted unanimously to present the
ball to Daughtry following the game
in which East Carolina overcame a
9-0 deficit to triumph, 25-9.
Also honored at the celebration
was Head Football Coach Jack Boone,
who was named during the Christ-
mas holidays as "Coach of the Year"
in the North tate conference. Dr.
John D. Messick, president of East
Carolina college, paid tribute to the
athletic program at the college in a.
address at the dinner.

Standings
Lenoir Rhyne college of Hickory
handed the East Carolina Piratei
their first basketlball defeat in North
State conference play as they down-
ed the locals 69-64 Saturday night.
Roland Barker and Bob Ortmyer
led the Bears to victory with their
11 round play, Barker bagging 25
o .its. including 11 for 11 fram the
rree throw line, and Ortmyer COS
' rolling the backboards.
Both clubs hit 21 field goals from
the floor, but the Bears sank 27 of
39 from the free throw line, whereas
the Pirates could collect only 22 of 45.
Bobby Hodges led the way for the
Bucs as he collected 28 points. Sonny
Russell bagged 16.
Russell opened the game's scoring
as he hit with a field goal. The Bears
retaliated and were never headed'
again. During the majority of the
contest the victors coasted along with
an eight to ten point margin. Only
in the final quarter did the Pirates
begin to collect. A tight defense held
the Bears to one field goal, but 14
free throws gave them the game.
The Pirates' outstanding duo, Son-
ny Russell and Bobby Hodges, were
left completely in the cold in their
attempt to gain control of the re-
bounds.

Now that the two-platoon system
has been abolished by a killing vote
of the NCAA Football Rules com-
mittee, it seems that the validity of
the popular argument is question-
able.
Here is a small spot check of some
opinions that warrant consideration:
Coach Jack Boone, "Naturally, small
colleges will benefit by the new
change. Football will be played by
backs who can block and tackle as
well as run and pass. Linemen, from
flank to flank, will have to be able
to open holes as well as close 'em.
The new rule will also enlist stronger
competition to colleges from the pro-
fessional teams who have unlimited
substitution . . . Lewis Hallow,

Jim Thorpe, former All-American at

Bucs Meet High Point
Next Wednesday Night
In Conference Contest
The East Carolina Pirates, beaten
in their first two starts of the cur-
rent road tour, will meet the High
Point Panthers Wednesday night,
January 28, at High Point.
The Panthers are, at this writing,
boasting a three-won, two-lost record
in the North State conference and
are in a tie with Elon's Christians
for third place.
A defeat for either club would in-
sure a substantial drop in the stand-
ings for the loser.
Following the High Point game
the Pirates will play Atlantic Chris-

Many Fudge On Book Reports Pecking ftway
by Emily Boyce
Book reports in our high schools a book
today present the teacher with more
of a problem than the student. The
average student has no trouble with
these required reports. They can be
: ought, sold or copied with little
effort The student is merely con-
cerned with the day on which the
report has to be turned in. The only
way the teacher can combat this
cleverness on the students part is
to be equally more clever.
We arc not in favor of written
reports, probably because we remem-
ber what a farce they went while we
h school. But most of the
written report is the only
real way the teacher has to find out
,c or not the student has read
quired book. If this is the case,
not vary the procedure. The
teach ild present the class with
a ' a roved books with which
usl be acquainted.
The , after a week or two, the
instructor should announce that with-
week there will be a class
report pop! The teacher
shouldn't want the straight story,
plus title and author. This takes little
effort and less thought on the part
of the student. The teacher should
make, a list of the things required
on the board, such as: the author,
title, time, the scene, the characters,
the climax and other books by the
same author. The story doesn't have
to enter into the report.
Another type of written report in
class could be a character study of
one of the more outstanding charac-
ters in the book We would encourage
individual reaction to books. Students
should not feel that they have to like
a book just'because it is required.
Discussions and dramatizations by
small groups which have read the
same book can be interesting and
fun. The main point is that the teach-
er must put forth effort as must the
students.

'I'm for the new
change. There will not be so much
'hanging loose' on the field a-nd the
spectators will be able to 'put better
eys on 'em
This scribe would like to express
his opinions on the merits of dis-
pelling the ewo-platoon system.
Football championships will be
reaped in the future by the same
gridiron machines that have sur-
mounted all who challenged their su-
premacy under the old two-platoon
system. The abolition of the two-
platoon style of play was a good
thing. When it was voted in
many critics thought its existence
would be short-lived, but only last
week did it terminate. Many schools
will continue to have squads as large
as they carried last season, but it will
he possible to field a terrific football
power with only about 30 good varsity
football players. With this formular
in action reduction of squads will
send excess players to other schools
so in need.
We agree with Bill Murray of Duke
when he pointed out that a boy did
not benefit from any personal struggle
to overcome his deficiencies. His na-
tive talent for one phase of the game
was enough to make him a national
hero.
Here at East Carolina we have
the manpower that'll be the deciding
factor in many a contest. We have
the necessary "double-duty" calibre
of grid greats that can readily switch
from the old system into the new one.
Coaches Boone and Biggers really
have their work cut out for them,
though, as they reconstruct the type
of play they employed last fall. One
thing is certain, the day of the 120-
pound band members kicking extra
points and winning games and the
quarterbacks who could throw strikes
all day but who couldn't even tackle
the waterboy is no longer here.
The fans will be able to learn the
layers. The players will get to know
each other. The coaches' job will not
be so flared.
It all amounts up to something
about like this�the era of the special-
is; is gone, and coaches will have to
ro back to teaching fundamentals.
Recruiting will be lessened, and it will
defintely benefit the smaller schools.
The definite results? . . . Well, only
time will tell!
The Bucs, up to Wednesday's game
with Catawba, possessed a 6-2 record
conference.
