The Greenville Junior Chamber of
Commerce, at a breakfast on the
campus Tuesday morning, launched
a campaign for the Pitt County
Scholarship Foundation.
Some $22,000 have already been
pledged by 59 Greenville business
men and firms to this fund and the
Jaycees hope to obtain a more sub-
stantial amount from a much larger
number of donors.
Dr. J. D. Mes-sick, president of
the college, spoke briefly at the
breakfast explaining the need for
scholarships and the expanding coi-
irrogram. Dr. T. C. Johnson,

schedule broadcasts from the college,
according to Mrs. Marguerite A.
Perry, chairman of the East Carolina
radio committee.
The urpose of the series by Dr. I
Fohnson is to acquaint hearers with
hooks of timely interest. Works on
the hydrogen bomb and on modern
Russia have been reviewed on broad-
casts for the past two Sundays, and
1 ooks dealing with other topics of
present-day interest will provide
subject matter for future programs.
Dr. Johnson, who joined the East
Carolina faculty this fall, is a grad-
uate of the University of North
Carolina and has taught history and
library science at Limestone College,
Gaffney, S. C.

The world-famous Barter Theatre
of Virginia will oresent Eugene
O'Neill's comedy of home life in
'906, his only comedy, Ah, Wilder-
;ss as the second number of the
1953-54 Entertainment Series in
Wright Auditorium next Thursday,
Mumni Secretary James W. Butler
-ihairman of the committee, an-
nounced.
"Ah, Wilderness is a comedy of
sentiment and good feeling in which
Mr. O'Neill has laid aside his tragic
mask. The play tells a tale of rebel-
lious adolescence and tremulous
young love, and is warmly C'mpas-
ionate, good-natured and unpreten-
ioi.s, mellow with the wisdom of
acceptance and gay with a sympa-
;hetie insight into the foibles of
mankind.
Actor-Director Owen Phillips of
the Bart t Theatre announc that
the cast for the play is: Nat Miller,
owner of the "Evening Globe Owen
Phillips; Essie, his wife, Dorothy
LaVern; Arthur, their son, Sam
Greene; Richard, their son, Frank
Lowe; Mildred, their daughter, Joan
Douglas; Toni, their daughter, Peggy-

Jerry Oddo; Lily Miller, Nat's lister,
Blanche McKirrney; David McComber,
Tom McKeehan; Muriel McComber,
Kay Kendall; Wint Selby, Robert
Gallico; Nora, Nancy Green.
The Barter Theatre has a high
standing in the theatrical world and
is internationally known. With Robert
Porterfield as founder, it had its start
during the Great Depression and
owes its name to the fact that in its
arly days of struggle toward suc-
cess the group accepted for admis-
sion charges "anything from fresh
eggs and cans of beans to live tur-
tles and tubes of toothpaste Por-
terfield began the venture with "22
aotors and actressy and $1 in my
pocket
"Ah, Wilderness chosen for pre-
sentation at East Carolina, is a nos-
talgic comedy dealing with home and
the family circle and revealing O'Neill
in a fender, compassionate mood. It
is claimed that the character of the
boy Richard is akin to the dramatist
himself when he was a dreamy, ro-
i mantic youth.
Tickets for next Thursday's per-
formance may be obtained from Mr.
Butler.

Closed Doors Might Hart
is closing: the library during Entertainment
Series programs going to be a policy of the col-
lege this year? We have heard many students
scussing the matter arguing that the library
:ould remain open for those who desire to study
ther than attend he program.
If a student needs to study, there is no rea-
why Le should not be allowed to do so. There
pre times when a person might not be able to
iarrange his work in order to get to the library
efore it closes on the nights of such programs
entioned. Why should we have to suffer penal-
ties that come about becouse he is unable to study
in the library?
True enough, Jiere would be persons who
would not be able to attend the programs who
wanted to if the library was kept open during
such nights, but there are often many sacrifices
that must be maae when a student or anyone
else is working. Probably there would not need
to be a large a staff on hand during the pro-
grams, and the work might could be arranged
so that the same group would not be working
Qurirg all the programs.
There would more than likely be nights
when no students would even care whether or
not the library was eiosed; but as the quarter
is soon coming to a close in about three weeks
and now with a few "flunk slips" circulated,
one night of studying is important, and any per-
son wanting to use the library should not be
denied this right.
Praises For Their Efforts
Members of the Greenville Junior Chamber
of Commerce have openQd a fund drive for
scholarships to Ease Carolina College. Approxi-
mately $22,000 has already been solicited from
local business men.
This movement of the Jaycees and business
men in Greenville shows their interest in the
college and their sound judgment in the advance-
ment of education.
Their efforts and the efforts of numerous
other foundations for East Carolina are provid-
ing aid to more students who may never have
had the opportunity of attending college. The
establishment of such scholarships also gives
incentives to those with ability and talent to
work harder in developing them.
We commend the Jaycees and the business
men and other organizations and individuals
who strive to install more opportunities for
present and potential college students.
What About Our Freshmen?
(From the Minnesota Daily, University of Minn-
esota)
This year's freshmen are a part of an age
group that does not by any means subscribe to
eonstitutional concepts of human dignity and
freedom.
Proof of this comes in a poll Purdue Uni-
versity recently took of the high school age group.
, , The results are startling. For instance:
Fifty-eight per cent of the high school stu-
, nts polled think police ne justified in giving
. man the third degree to make him talk.
Only 45 said newspapers should be permit-
tsti.to print the news freely except for military
kjrcvS.
IfMrty-three per cent said that persons who
to testify against themselves should either
ci ie to talk or be severely punished.
'enty-five per cent would prohibit the
it of people to assemble peaceably.
Twaitjr-fix per cent believe that police
e allowed to search a person or his home
a v. &rr�.ir.
;wpe that during your intellectual and
� v.3lopment here you will come to be an
cf. under of the civil liberties some of
fw disapprove.
Some one brought in an item the
other day from Arthur Godfrey's
joke !ook with the notation "you
might like to use this as a filler
With hi suggestion as a filler, we
transferred it to this column.
It reads: There was once a girl,
who. when she was young, told every
hoy that asked her if she loved him
that she did. This went on for many
and many a year and finally she
died an old maid. The moral to this
story is: Don't try to love everybody.
Leave that to God. You just try to
specialize.

The "East Carolinian" received the
following letter from a girl who
seemed very troubled:
Dear Sir,
I realize that you do not have a
Dorothy Dix column, hut I have a
question that I would like to have
answered. What is a rain check
Webster does not say.
A boy whom I would very much
like to date called and asked me
for a date. I had a test to study
for so I gave him a rain check. He
evidently did not know what I meant
and thought I was giving him the
brush-off. Maybe I have the wrong
conception.
I am sure that other people (girls)
have the same problem, so I wish
that if there was anything you could
do, you would. I am speaking for
several girls so I will not disclose
my name.
Very Earnestly.
Dear Very Earnestly,
In regard to your question "What
is a ram check" we have come to
the conclusion that there is no defi-
nite definition. The general idea,
however, is that it is a deferred
extension of hospitality or privilege.
In your letter you said you turned
down a date with the boy, but you
gave him a raincheck meaning that
you would accept at a later date.
Maybe the boy did not know what
you meant, but we can assure you
that if he was really interested he
would call again. We advise you and
your friends not to waste your time
on such boys. Get out and find some-
one who will not give up the first
time you turn down an invitation.

Dating, love and marriage are uni-
versal happenings, occuTing every
day. We are already fan-iliar with
the cycle on the cam-pus, but do A
wonder how our method compares
with the procedure elsewhere�say
in Central America?
An enlightening conversation with
L. onore Padilla, student from Hon-
duras, reveals that lovers are just
as busy there as they are at East
Carolina.
The Honduras girl begins dating
at the age of 12 or 13 when she
enters college. She may date her
several boyfriends unchaperoned. The
couple do not betray any attraction
for one another through talk or
action, but relate their affection in
lengthy love letters. The college boy-
friends are never taken home to
meet parents of the girl. After grad-
uation, at the age of 1 the girl
may have a steady beau, who visits
her at her home as often as he wish-
es, if her parents approve of his
family background, education, pei-
sonal qualities and financial position.
When the parents are acquainted
with the boy, they do not chaperone
the couple, but if he is a stranger,
they "sit in" on the first few visits
to d terraine his purpose. If the boy
displays a desire to marry the girl
the parents leave the scene, but if
he shows other intent'ons. he is ask-
ed to leave. A girl in love will con-
tinue to see the object of her affec-
tions, even against her parents' will.
The boy must ask for the first
kiss, to which the maiden timidly
says no but the smart suitor real-
izes she means "yes" and fulfills
their mutual desire. The nice girl

The boy gives an engagement ring
and a wedding ring. The wedding
ceremony is Catholic and is an occa-
sion for festivity. On the night after
he wedding there is dancing and
cake cutting. Sometime during the

October 31, according to Scotch
superstition, is the time when witch-
es, devils, fairies and other imps of
earth and lir hold an annual holiday.
Th refure, it is not unusual that
many superstitions have developed.
Have you ever wondered who your
life partner would be? No doubt you
have unless you have already taken
that march down the aisle. According
to old English belief, you can deter-
mine your mate if you jump over
lighted candles on Hallowe'en night.
Although this idea does seem quite
fantastic, you can never tell if it
will work unless you try. But how
can you tell who your mate would
be by this method? The firsrt of the
oppoite sex you meet afterwards?
If your birthday happens to fall
on October 31, you will be excused
if occasionally you seem to be mut-
tering to yourself. For all who are
I born on that date are supposed to
be able to converse with the super-
natural.
Regardless of the truth in these
superstitions, Hallowe'en has long
b sen a favorite time for young and
old alike. You can enjoy it if you

They've been going together for

"Bege "was that she was rather

Who says a little of knowledge is a

One night Flo and "Bege decided
to go to the Baptist Student Center.
They walked in, sat down, and started
reading some magazines. In a few
minutes a lady came in and asked if
they were looking for someone. They
told her, no, and went on reading.
When she kept standing there, they
looked up to see the most puzzled
expression on her face. Suddenly, it
dawned on them that they weren't at
the student center, but had walked
into a private home by mistake.

This summer their romance had
to be carried on via mail and tele-

At a recent press conference in the .state of
Virginia a question was brought up that might
well be asked of all papers on all levels through.
out the nation.
Roughly speaking, this question 1
"Whereas it is the duty of the newspapei to ob-
serve, digest and criticize all things pertin
public interest, upon whose shoulders den the
job of criticizing the newspaper fail?"
Good journalism is a fundamental part I a
free people and the citizens of any nati are
dependent upon it to provide good cov
all events. It might even be said that a
paper is, in an ethical sense, as much a
property of a community as its water am
facilities.
It is the duty of the citizens of any c
nity, therefore, to see that their source oi
mation provides them with both sides -
controversy and it is only through the n
of reader opinion that a newspaper can func
at its effective best.
America is fortunate in having news
that, as a vast majority, believe in freed- ;
information. Although most papers will at
align themselves on one side or the other
controversial issue, these same paper- I
most part will air the opposite view if a
will only take the trouble to write a simp e
to the editor.
Despite the high ideals of American j
ists the citizen must remember that they ar
infallible in their opinions and judgments

the conscientious newspaper reader will tak
time to inform an editor or publisher of a
paper's shortcomings.
The American people from the first
on have come to believe that The Right To K

the Constitution. In order to protect this r -

The East Carolinian is the medium

are properly informed with regard to all p
nent issues.

This Week's Movie
by Faye O'Neal
This week's campus movie, "I Want
You falls into the category of
heant-tuggers and tear squeezers
that many American moviegoers love.
A story of the Korean War and
its effects on an average American
family, it is supposed to typify life
in the states during these so-called
trying times. Timely when produced,
the movie is not a great teacher,
but should be very enjoyable for one
who likes to have reality glazed with
sentimentality.
Playing opposites are Dana An-
drews and Dorothy McGuire, Robert
Keith and Mildred Dunnock, and
Farley Granger and Peggy Dow.
The movie will be shown tonight
at 7 o'clock in Austin auditorium.
Pot Pourri has been delving into the V
torian Era lately and is so overcome with
atmosphere of that period that she cinnot ref r.
from becoming real Victorian and in this char-
acter she will be allowed to do a bit of preoch
or moralizing. What would this column be mc
izing about this week�why an old standby to
the good student! Not having read or heard
the volumes of matter applying to the topic :

vation only.
The fact is obvious that the ability to n
straight ones is really a small part of th.
a pupil must play in order to be included in

follows directions. An easy enough task, we s
yet there are numbers of us who have to b
over and over again to fold our papers, not
write on the back of the papers and writ
complete sentences. All of us have little idi
crasies ond the professor is no exception. His
demands on us may seem unnecessary and fool-
ish but there is usually a good reason behir.
all. Directions given for tests and nightly assign-
ments do not vary, as a rule, and the good stu-
dent will comply to the instructor's rulings re-
specting them, therefore saving tempers and
cutting confusion.
Asking questions in class is an important
part of the work, but we wonder about the
dent who asks questions in a constant stream.

Do some pupils do this to take up time, attract
attention or keep awake? Wouldn't it be a m re
profitable experience to act as a good student
and listen to the lecture and ask specific qu

Hesitate before going to sleep at your desk.
So the instructor's lesson is deathly boring and
ycu crawled in the night before during the
hours of the morning. None of us would Hk
have a student dozing in his chair while we are
delivering a lecture. There are ways to keep
awake, even if a stuJent has to resort to count-
ing the number of pauses the prof makes in one
sentence, it can be done. A good student will lis-
ten to the lecture and gain something from it no
matter how boring the hpur may be or how
sleepy he may become.
It must be remembered that the instructor
cannot possibly remember every detail of a per-
son's work. Oftentimes the prof will be asked to
recall J'that last sentence on the first page of
that recent test that was marked wrong" days
after the test was given. If there's a question
concerning a test or homework paper, wait until
after class and work it out then. An alert stu-
dent would never wait until weeks after the event
to raise questions about his work. Shall we say
that he would also certainly not expect the in-
structor to remember what type of ink he used-
Having delivered itself of this lengthy lec-
ture Pot Pourri will now shed its Victorian robe.

A 40-0 vi�i over Guilford College's
Quakers plus a 21-21 stalemate be-
tween Catawba and Elon gave the
Fast Carolina Pirates their first
North State Conference champion-
ship last week-end.
By smothering Guilford the locals
r corded their fifth conference tri-
unvh. Even if Appalachian should
upset the Pirate- in the fi'l con-
ference game for the local squad to-
morrow the Bucs' hold on first place
would not be jeopardized.
In other games involving league
teams the Appalachian Mountaineers
upset Emory and Henry by a 14-6
count Shirley Gabriel tallied all the
Mountaineer points to run his total
to 62, good enough for the scoring
lead in the state.
Meanwhile, in addition to the 21-
21 tie played ' y Catawba and Elon,
the Western Carolina Catamounts
were once again falling victim to the
extra point. Lenoir Rhync, by virtue
f a blocked kick, took a 21-20 win
over the Cats. thereby handing
Western Carolina their fifth one-
point defeat in seven games this
season.

Gay Scores
Fast Carolina's first score came
on a 51-yard drive, with Paul Gay
crossing the goal from the 12 on a
pitch-out from Cherry. King's try
for the extra point was no good.
The BttCg scored again in the first
quarter when Bobby Hodges recov-
ered a Guilford fumble on GuiWord's
19. Three plays later King powered
over from the nine to score. King's
try for the extra point was good
land the Bucs had a 13-0 lead. With
10 seconds left to play in the first
period King crossed the goal from
the three to score. His extra point
try was good and as the first quarter
ended Fast Carolina led 20-0.
There was no scoring in ihe second
quarter, although the Pirates did
threaten once on a drive that ended
on Guilford's 16.
Cherry To Hodges
Fast Carolina scored in the open-
ing minutes of the second half when
Cherry hit Hodges with a screen

romped 35 yards to score. King

trampl'd the Quakers' hopes of upset
deep into the cleat-iorn turf of Col-
lege Stadium. Although Coach
Boone's charges raced for six touch-
downs during the sixty minutes of
play, the score was lessened by the
abundant use of substitutions.
The Guilford offense was played
to a standstill. The East Carolina
scrimmage line was well-nigh im-
penetrable as the Quakers tried in
vain to root the Pirate barrier of
oak. While the defenders were doing
their part the Buc backs were jack-
knifing through for hunks of yardage
that would choke an elephant.
When the final whistle blew it
meant the ball game, the sixth
straight win, and the North State
Conference crown.
What promises to be the keenest
competition on the locals' home sched-
ule will come into focus tomorrow
night as the Mountaineers of Appa-
lachian motor into the Pirates' den
boasting their splendid halfiback-
quanterback Shirley Gabriel. The
high-stepping Gabriel has the scoring
touch and has put the double lines
behind him for 62 points, tops in
North State circles. The Mountaineers
will put all their eggs in one basket
as they count almost solely on Mr.
Gabriel to blow his horn.
This will be the last stand on tap
before the home folks and as we
see it the Pirates will hit 6unny

'World Must Revive Idealism'
Herbst Tells Chapel Assembly
The eurtain may now be falling
on a dying world, or it may be ris-
ing on a new and better life for
mankind, Rabbi Solomon Herbst of
GoMaboro told East Carolina College
students Is a talk Tuesday.
A "compelling and unifying faith"
is needed, he said, if mankind is to
em erg-3 from the disillusionment and
disenchantment of our times and to
achieve "greater peace, security and
Wli beuig" in the future.
Rabbi Herbst appeared at the col-
lege throufeii arrangements with the
Jewish Cheutr. iqua Socity. He spoke
to ��nttximately 300 students and
faculty members attending the week-
ly chapel exercises in the Austin
auditorium. Dr. Carl V. Karris, di-
r otxr of religious activities at the
college, introduced him to the audi-
ence.
The industrial l volution, Rabbi
HeiOst stated, brought hopes that
increased leisure would result in a
superior culture; and scientific ad-
vancement led to the belief that
mnt and poverty would be removed.
But, he pointed out, the idea of
progress which characterized the last
century has yielded in our times to
disillusionment, desperation, disap-
pointment and disenchantment.
Today, he aid, "Conscience is at
a new low; it is hushed and silenced
in the confusion and turmoil of our
times The spirit of the age is
darkened, he continued, by a loss of
idealism.
Our age he said, "is tired and
afraid. No great idea is sweeping us
toward something better
"Democracy the eternal spring-
time of humanity he continued,
"is on the defensive; Communism,
on the offensive. We live in a world
���:mr hate, intolerance and
bfeotry. Wai and the loss of freedom
by many peoples mark our age
Faith and the spirit of brotherhood,
jing men toward love and peace,
offer an answer to the problems of
! our times, the Rabbi suggested.

Dr. Johnson also told the group
that the greatest need of the college
today is for endowed . scholarships

young men and young women might
be helped to obtain an education.
Even a small scholarship is often the

Last year a survey of leading colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette.
This year another nation-wide survey
� based on thousands of actual student
interviews, and representative of all
students in regular colleges �shows that
Luckies lead again over all brands, regu-
lar or king size and by a wide margin!
The No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better.
Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste, and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better �for 2 reasons. L.S.M.F.T.
�Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And
Luckies are made better to taste better.
So, Be Happy�Go Lucky!
