respectively on Tuesday, April 14, as
a part of the Greenville Arts festival.
This film is highly commended for
its maintenance of good entertain-

It tells the story of the Allied con-
quering of Italy during World War
II, and yet is reported to be an
excellent example of cinematic art.
This movie is being brought to the
campus through the efforts of the
Emerson Study group, which has as
one of its purposes promoting the
showing of better and more cultural
movies for the students of East
Carolina. This society is headed by
Dr. Donald Murray of the English

son Study group hopes to bring here.

ed quarterly in order to give more
students a chance to participate in
leadership and parliamentary prac-

chosen vice president and Bob Young,
sergeant-at-arms. Gwen Williams
will retain her position as secretary
1 and treasurer.
The East Carolina student pianist

winner in the Nationwide Piano con-
test of the National Guild of Piano

On all levels of education�in the
�Vmentary and the secondary schools
and in the colleges and universities-�
l shortage of teachers either now
exists or, as the school population
Incr ases, will soon be evident, Presi-
lent John D. Messick of East Caro-
'ina college said here Wednesday
veninjr.
As principal speaker at a dinner
meeting of the Northeastern associa-
tion of School Board Members and
Superintendents, he emphasized the
fact that, if more and better teachers
are to be trained to meet this critical
lack of balance between supply and
demand, teacher-training institutions
such as East Carolina must have
"more dormitories, personnel and
other facilities Joseph M. Taft of
Greenville, president of the School
Board association, was in charge of
arrangements for the meeting held
in the West Greenville school.
"The great cry Dr. Messick told
members, "is for more elementary
teachers In answer to the question,
"Why aren't the colleges educating
more for the lower grades?" he gave
a two-fold answer.
"First he said, "the colleges are
graduating more despite the lack of
sufficiently adequate physical facili-
ties and personnel; and second, the
number appears to be small because
of the greatly increased enrollment
in the public schools.
"In 1946 he continued, "there
were 20 million elementary school
children, but in 1952 there were 24
million. By 1958, according to a na-
tional survey released by the Na-
tional Education association, there
will be 34 million children of ele-
mentary school age

'East Carolinian' Receives
First Place Rating By CSPA
The "East Carolinian" has received
for the second straight year a "First
Place" rating from the Columbia
Scholastic Press association, it was
announced at the twenty-ninth an-
nual convention of the association
in New York city last week. The
East Carolina college weekly news-
paper is a member of the Teachers
Journalists Pay Visit To New York; Find City Life Wonderful
New York city! Those were three
magic words for nine excited East
Carolina students who attended the
29th annual CSPA convention at
Columbia university in New York
city. Two cars filled to the top with
Tommie Lupton, Edna Massad, Bob
Hilldrup, Emily Boyce, Kay John-
ston, Bob Hughes, Donna Jean Yan-
cy, Parker Maddrey, Jean McGlohon
and their belongings left the college
at 5 am March 10 and arrived in
New York city at 5:30 p. m.
It didn't take long for the yankees
to realize that the rebels had arrived,
for in less than five minutes part
of the crew made their driver stop
the car so they could get out and
just look! Of course we completely
gave ourselves away when we yelled,
"Hey you-all, get back in the car
Our tiredness was soon forgotten
and we were out to view the "big
city For those who had not made
the trip before New York was even
more than they had imagined. "Lights
and Sights as defined toy one stu-
dent And what sights! One of the
by Kay
most unusual things was the fact
that you just didn't go to sleep at
night. Even the stores stayed open
until the wee hours of the morning.
That night we took in a three
dimensional movie, one of the kinds
that you think the people, animals
and scenery are going to jump right
out at you! (Very restful after our
long journey).
Shop and Look
The next morning we spent most
of the day in Macy's, shopping and
looking�mostly looking.
That night we took in Radio City
and the very 'beautiful floor show.
Some of the boys had a headache
after a slight straining of the eyes!
The next day all of the crew
journeyed out to Columbia, except
two students who didnt have a meet-
ing until the afternoon. It seems
that these two students had never
been on a subway before and when
they went ont to their afternoon
meeting, they got ont on the wrong
street. They were rather overcome
when they discovered they were in
the middle of Harlem! A very friend
Johnston
ly policeman came by about that time,
however, and asked the bewildered
rebels where they wanted to go. They
finally reached Columbia, though a
little breathless, in time for the
meeting.
After the meeting, we went for a
tour through the New York Times
building and this time we all man-
aged to keep together.
Enjoy Night Life
That night, after the aoaking of
nine pair of feet, we took in our
first night clnfe. After a slight duii-
culty with "the waiter (they seemed
to have a hard time understanding
our drawl), we ordered and were
served in high fashion. We decided
to eat hardy, for we were afraid
that it might be our last meal
(broke?!). It was really a fine night
spot, and we were quite flattered
when they asked us wher� we were
from and then had the orchestra play
XaroKna Moon" for us.
The rext day, after attending our
meetings at Columbia, w went to
the Empire State building. Boy, was j the city
that elevator ride something! Oneigoodhy

The "First Place rating" is judged
from 850 to 1,000 points. The maxi-
um number of points is 1,000. How-
ever, the number of points that the
"East Carolinian" received has not
been released as yet.

Having rested during the week of
exams of last quarter and the first
two weeks of the present quarter, we
return from the Columbia Scholastic
Press association convention in New
York and once a train begin printing
a paper. We really enjoyed our "va-
cation" and trip, but it does seem
good to be at work again. All of us
find it much harder to work after
a rest than before, but maybe we
can now once again get in the groove.

We Hope You Were Wise
Today is election day at East Carolina. Of-
ficers who will be running our Student Govern-
ment for next year have been chosen by you.
We hope that when you put the "X" by your
candidate's name, you were certain that he.was
"the man for the office Did you ask yourself:
"Is he honest?" "Is he dependable?" "Is he indus-
trious?" "Will he support the principles that the
college stands for and what I like?" "Am I voting
for him because he is popular, or because he is in
my club or fraternity, or a very good friend of
mine and my other friends?"
Too many elections have been "popularity
contests" and oftentimes the wrong man is placed
in office.
We trust that you did think twice before
selecting your candidates and helped to elect the
best potential officers.

Everyone Has It�Spring Fever
This time of the year shows students stretch-
ed on the campus with the fever�Spring fever,
that is. The infirmary is helpless in treating such
cases and there is no known medical cure for this
sickness.
The poor professors! They lecture persist-
ently to a bunch of half-asleep, fever-stricken
students. But with the warm sunshine radiating
through the windows and the fresh, clean smell
of newly-mown grass and fruit-tree blossoms,
what else could they expect?
Out on the campus, the clean grass invites
the student to lay upon it, and the buzzing of the
power mowers induces him to sleep.
Spring fever is defined as being lazy, but
the good Lord must like it, for he makes so many
of us that way. TPM
Remember The Golden Rule?
As we were walking along the street one
day while in New York last week we were given
the following item on the keeping of the golden
rule. We think that it might prove interesting
to you. We quote:
"I'm keeping the golden rule
"You are? Prove it and I'll give you a 20-
dollar bill.
"No, I'm not a millionaire. You see, I'm not
concerned about the 20-dollar bill. Remember, the
golden rule is to do unto others as you would
have them do unto you. So if you really keep
the golden rule, you'll give back the money! And
if you don't give it back I'll say, 'You are not
keeping the golden rule, chum, hand over the
money' Either way, I get the money back
"The American Boy'�He Ain't
(From the University of Orgon Daily Emerald)
We saw a piece recently in a national mag-
azine describing the characteristics of "The
American Boy According to the article, he has
even, white teeth, crisp hair, wide spaced eyes,
a lanky, muscular frame; strong, long-fingered
hands; a healthy, well-scrubbed look; and a flair
for wearing casual clothes.
We are rather interested in the story of
"The American Boy" because we've never seen
one We can't help wondering where the
author found his perfect specimen.
"The American Boy" is a popular myth . . .
Illustrators and authors combine all the admir-
able characteristics found in American youth to
create a composite picture of an American stereo-
type. It has resulted in a cult of sameness.
. . . We'd like to see stories and pictures con-
cerned with Joe Blow, who doesn't want to be
a big-league baseball player but likes to play the
bassoon. Maybe then all men could feel that they
had a boyhood which was somewhat normal.
The thing boils down to this: A bunch of
dogma-bound fellows are trying to be something
that isn't "The American Boy" doesn't exist.
Since last edition of the "East
Carolinian" last term, we have had
the occasion twice to meet with other
college editors and discuss the poli-
cies of many college publications. We
felt real proud of our paper and its
powers as compared to other college
weeklies.
Many chool publications face the
problem oi finance, but the biggest
problem of most papers is the work-
ing between the editorial staff and
the administration. The editors as a
whole seemed to be under a close
censorship by the administrative
staff, which destroys the ideals of
true journalism.
We do not feel that college editors
should be able to blast just anyone
ai;y time they feel like it, but we
do think that th re should be some
freedom of the press.
Staffs of the various papers with
whose editors wt talked ranged in
number from eight or ten workers to
45. The staff with 45 members was
on a paper that came out every
three weeks, and it is hard for u?
to see how the editor could give work
to and keep interest of all the staff.
The average size of the staffs
tended to be just a few more mem-
bers than our own. We feel that we
have a rather small taff for a week-
ly pa; er our size, but we are
not really overworked. All persons
who work on the "East Carolinian"
staff are doing so because they like
journalistic work. There are no strict
requirements to join this staff, but
there are no persons who remain on
the staff all through the year unless
they are really interested in working
on the paper.
This week's "Who's Who" is Fran-
ces Woolard, a popular senior from
Washington. She came to East Caro-
lina college Fall quarter of 1950 and
has attended two summer school ses-
sions and three complete school years.
After the first six weeks of the
summer sessions this year. Frances
will have completed the four and a
half hours that she lacked in order
to graduate. She will' receive her
diploma with the graduating class
in August.
"Now she said, "that it's nearly
time to leave BOC 1 honestly regret
coming in the summer, because it
means leaving one year sooner than
I would have otherwise. 1 surely do
hate to leave this place, because I've
made so many friends. Everyone is
so nice and friendly and they're all
fine people, especially one, even if
he is an out-of-stater
Changes Plans
Frances had first planned to at-
tend another school in North Carolina
after graduation from high school, but

But Changes Occur Regularly
Tomorrow night will be a big occa-
sion for some 600 AFROTC cadets
and their dates as it is the time for
the annual Military ball at East Caro-
lina. From all indications from past
dances, this night will really be a
ball.
While on the subject of balls, the
Phi Sigma Pi presented something
new at East Carolina Wednesday
night in its Brawl ball. The night's
entertainment included anything and
everything that could be dreamed up.
The visit of North Carolina State
college's Wolfpack to this campus
last night probalbly proved an inter-
esting experience for most of the
student body. Coach Everett Case's
boys have ranked high in the na-
tional polls for the past seven years,
and we all had the opportunity to
see just how our boys would stack
up against top-notch competition.
We are now in the homestretch of
our academic school year, and before
we know it we'll be ending up the
Spring quarter. All of us should try
to cast off the "spring fever spells
that have hit the camu3 and try
to do some of our best work. Luck
to you!
When "Big Ben'
so early (it seems) in the morn-
ing, most of us overcome that
inevitable temptation to turn over
and go back into the most de-
sirable and unbothered sleep. Wre get
up and prepare for our classes rather
automatically, for we have done it
until it seems habitual.
We cross the campus, some few
of us stopping for breakfast and
the rest of us dragging into our
classes. If one has an eight o'clock
class and it Isn't raining (strange),
maybe by nine o'clock he will rally
from his depressive mood and look
around between classes with some-
what more enthusiasm than he did
when the alarm went off just a wee
bit earlier.
Yet it is too much of a habit and
has almost become characteristic of
BOC students to regard life on our
campus as an unchanging, uniform
affair. Just suppose that it is nice
and warm outside, as a few of our
recent days have been. Maybe we
could stand a little concentration on
whether we have the right under-
standing of things or is it not true
that nothing ever changes here?
Well, there is one thing that does-
n't change, for sure. That is the
atmosphere of friendliness that ex-
ists here. This reporter has yet to
hear of its equal. That is good;
something to be proud of.
But just a look at the things about
you here on campus will deny that
nothing ever changes. Last autumn
when school began the beautiful trees
on our campus were red, brown and
by Faye O'Neal
sounds off yellowish in glorious color. The girls
were wishing for winter to come so
they could wear their new clothes,
but didn't stop rejoicing over the
football team's victory spree.
Winter quarter came up and our
campus took on a bleak grey look.
Feeble sunshine was seldom evident.
The girls again took to wishing that
spring would come so that they could
wear their new clothes. The seasons
have a very definite effect on the cos-
tumes one sees worn on campus. Now
it is spring! The trees are budding and
some of them are bursting into
bloom, their fragile pastel flowers
scenting the areas around them. And
all over, there is evidence of constant
change.
Changes Occur
Day to day change can be seen by
all of us if we look for it. Days grow
into weeks and so on, as the old adage
goes .into years. Over the years,
there have certainly been changes
here. Think about the new buildings,
changes in faculty, marriage among
the faculty members and the stu-
dents, too. Rules change which affect
all of us. All these things happen
and of course such will continue to
happen. Change is really inevitable.
So let's go on through this quar-
ter, whether the weather (which is
certainly always changeing) is favor-
able to us or not, through all the
days with a renewal of hope. We
aren't hopelessly lost in a maze of
weary repetition. There is a new
hope and a new joy in every day.
Something is always doing her�.
Aren't we proud to be a part of it?

not the informal friendly salutation.
On the six-lane New Jersey Turn-
pike, we conducted a survey on hand-
waving. Every car that we passed,
we would greet the occupants with
a casual wave. The response over-
whelmed us. Out of 25 "yankee"
cars 23 waved back. And out of the
23 that waved. 19 showed their teeth
with a smile while the remaining
four displayed a pleasant expression
on their faces.
And they say that we Southerners
are noted for our friendliness and
hospitality. Of course we surveyed
the Southern travelers, too. We found
that they had the same percentage
of hand-wavers as the Northerners
With this information, we conclude
that people everywhere, North and
South, are generally alike in the
sense of carrying on friendly rela-
tions with others. Dale Carnegie,
author of "How to Win Friends and
Influence People seems to think
along the same line when he writes
that everyone likes to be recognized
by others.
Couple Of The Week
Our couple of this week is Maxine
Bryan and Kenneth Holt. Maxine is
from Fayetteville and Kenneth is
from Petersburg, Va. Maxine and
Kenneth are both sophomores and
have been going together a year.
Maxine met Kenneth in a health
class. Kenneth was asked to give a'
certain exhibition in class one day,
and Maxine just couldn't help no-
ticing him after that! (The exhibition
is censored�sorry).
Maxine is majoring in English and
Kenneth is majoring in physical edu-
cation, and both enjoy sports very
much.
Maxine and Kenneth like to dance,
go to movies and a number of other
things, but mostly they just like
being together.
(Editor's note: By being named
"Couple of the Week Maxine and
Kenneth will each be given a carton
of Chesterfields, a free pass to the
Pitt theatre, a free mtl at the Olde
Towne Inn and an item from Sas-
low's jewelers.)

Aside from trying to win friends
and influence people, we obtained
some useful ideas and information
for running a college newspaper. At
the convention we listened intently
to prominent journalists of big city
papers and joined in discussions with
other college staff members in tne
problems of putting out a paper.
Two members of this staff were on
program to lecture and lead a dis-
cussion with high school groups.
These two were Tommie Lupton and
Bob Hilldrup.
We toured the offices of one of
the largest and most reputable news-
papers�The New York Times. Nat-
urally we had the place pictured as
most newspaper offices, with hustle-
bustle of the staff and cigarette
butts and paper litter on the floor
and desks. Ha! this was not true of
this outstanding journal. The editors
and reporters were calm and un-
rushed. Their desks were lined evenly
in rows and there was not one single
wad of paper or a butt on the floor
or on the desk.
Of course there was some noise
such as the clicking of the teletype
machines and typewriters. The tele-
type machine receives messages from
out-of-town presses such as London,
Paris and Washington, and types
the releases automatically on a sheet
of paper to he set up in type later
for print in the Times.
We could go on and on telling
about our trip, but it may get bore-
some to you, and besides, you prob-
lably wouldn't believe itxall anyway.

Democrats Wage Battle
The following notice was posted on the
Office lobby bulletin board, obviously by a group
of disgruntled Democrats still bitterly campaign-
ing against Herbert Hoover.

East Carolina college's Pirates
started off with a bang in the open-
ing round of basketball play in the
NAIA tournament at Kansas City
Wednesday, March 11, but a last
minute rally by Arkanas Teachers
nipped the Bucs, 85-81
The locals, paced by Bob-by Hodges
and his 27 points, forged into an
early 15-3 lead against the unbeaten
Arkansas quint. The score at the end
of the first period was 32-15, East
Carolina.
The Pirates lost ground in the
second session but left the court
holding a six point margin of 47-41.
The Pirates and Teachers matched
points during a hectic third period
that saw East Carolina maintain its
advantage of 68-62.
Standout forward E. C. O'Neal
took charge for the Teachers in the
rourth quarter and sparked a drive
that tied the contest at 74-74 with
five minutes to play. The lead chang-
ed hands twice before John Hudspeth

For the Bucs in their first visit

Pirates' stellar guard, popped in-17
markers for the second scoring spot.
Charlie Huffman and Sonny Rus-

the basketball court.
In the opening round of play at
Winston-Salem for the North State
conference crown several weeks ago
the Pirates swamped Guilford by an
85-57 count. Bobby Hodges paced the
top team in i-egular season play with
31 points.
In the semifinal round, how-
ev r, the Bucs ran afoul of High
Point, a team they had defeated twice
during the- regular season. Despite a
desperate last minute rally the Bucs
bowed out of contention by a 68-65
score. High Point went on to edge
Elon for the conference champion-
ship. Bob y Hodges led the Bucs with
20 oints for the evening while Sonny
Russell took the runner-up spot with
14.
Both Russell and Hodges placed
on the conference second string all-
tournament team. Hodges led the
tourney in scoring even though he
played in but two contests. His 31
point against Guilford and 20 against
High Point gave him one more than
the 50 compiled by Kent Moseley of
High Point.
At the end of the tourney the
Bucs entered the NAIA regional play-
offs in Greenville along with E'lon,

In the first contest the Bucs blast-

With the ushering out of winter's
bleak, melancholy days and the wel-

baseball. These two, along with being
born, paying taxes and dying, are
inevitable routines of everyone,
sports enthusiasts or not.

Besides the nucleus forming letter-

didates are making stalwart drives
for playing time. Hustle, plus hustle,
has been the guideline for the deter-
mined "bushers" and the "ole timers"
are feeling their wrath. Last season's
weakness, pitching, should ve com-

AFROTC Bulletin
Commends Cadets
The Air Force ROTC wing at
East Carolina college has been com-
mended by the Air University AF
ROTC Information bulletin -for tht
high percentage shown in application
by cadets for flying training.
The bi-weekly publication of Head-
quarters AF ROTC, Montgomery,
Ala states that out of 181 sophomore
students attending AF ROTC classes
a East Carolina college at present,
127, or 70, per cent have expressed
a desire for flying training upon
graduation. This outstanding record
received favorable comment in the
publication, which is distributed to
anits throughout the United State
and in Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Those students accepted for train-
ing in flying will be commissioned
prior to entering into flying train-
in, and will go through Air Force
Flying school as second lieutenants,
not as cadets.

Messick Discusses Instruction
Of Religion In Public Schools
DUcu�sing the question of whether
relifioM instruction should be given
in Ihe public tchoole, President John
D. Meisick of Est Carolina college
�uttd Wednesday of last week that
the trend in education i� "now slant-
ing toward the teaching of factual
religion" in both public schools and
public colleges. He reviewed the con-
troversial issu� at the annual dinner
given by men of the Beaufort Epis-
copalian chureh.
Citing the American belief in sep-
ftXfttioa of church and state and in
the principle of religious freedom,
t. warned that "we must be careful,
?�ry careful, of what i done by the
Ute to eupport religion except to
aeaure �Tery individual his inalien-
able right to worship God according
to the dictatee of his conscience
'amplify Ideals
iie w nowever, that in their
lr�ee teacher? should exemplify
Christian ideals and "set forth the
influence and contributions of reli-
gion so that it Ls a vitalizing force
in the thinking and adjustment of
youth . �
The issue of religious instruction
in the schools has been under dis-
cussion in this country for more than
a hundred years, Dr. Messick said.
The problem today stems, he ax-
plained, from the "mounting evidence
that many churches are not reaching
a large percentage of boys and girls
H. refuted the claim, however, of
some sectarian groups that the pub-
lie schools are godless.
Much agreement exists, he said,
. �. ween the advocates and the non-
acroeates of the separation of church
tnd atata that history, art, music,
English and other areas of subject
matter cannot be adequately taught
ind interpreted without the contri-
ation of religion. Others advocate,
-� eonued, the avoidance of reli-
gion, while still others believe in
and practice planned religious activi-
ties.
Religion In Schools
Dr. Messick reviewed what is now
�sing dona in public schools. He said
that some provide released time for
children to receive religious instruc-
tion in the church of their choice.
Others schedule time for instruction
in the school itself. Some schools, he
stated, consider religious instruction
the responsibility of the home and
the church.
Many of the public and private
colleges, he said, are progressively
making such courses available as
Biblical literature, philosophy, ethics
and comparative religions. They also
encourage the organization and op-
eration of student religious groups
and in some instances provide campus
space upon which churches erect stu-
dent church centers.
