at East Carolina and then recom-
mended to the national AAUW Com-
mittee on Standards and Recogni-
tion that the college be approved by
the organization.
East Carolina President John D.
Messick has ju.st received from Dr.
Dorothy Woodward, chairman of this
committee, notification that the rec-
ommendation has been accepted. "I
congratulate you she said, "on the
approval by the AAUW, for our

Student Handbook were viewed by
members of the Student Legislature
Wednesday night. They discussed
each change and will come to a final
vote next Wednesday.
President Mitchell Saieed stated,
I "For some time there has been a defi-
nite need to study and rework the
SGA by-laws which concern the Honor
Code and student regulations He
further added, "I sincerely believe
that these changes in the by-laws
will improve the present situation of
confusion by clarifying various penal-
ties, striking away out-dated sections,
interpreting the laws and also organ-
izing more advantageously the by-
laws
Meetings will be held next week
for the purpose of forming a uniform
interpretation of rules regarding
social conduct. All members of dorm-
itory house committees, which is com-
posed of students, and the Women's
Judiciary will meet to settle any other
interpretations. A special meeting of
dorm counselors, Administration
members and representatives of the
SGA has been set to further review
policies and interpretations of the
handbook.
Consider Revision
Revisions under consideration of the
Legislature put more emphasis on
the Honor Code. It also puts inter-
pretations of penalties rendered with-
in respective house committees and
the Men's and Women's Judiciary
committees.
There is also a section dedicated to
the explanation of the Disciplinary
committee. "Council check" is defined
wi h clauses to the effect of how it
is to be administered.
More emphasis �vas put on women's
dormitory orderb'nean. lit was recom-
mended by the bedy that "reasonable
orderliness' he kept in dorms until
11 p. m. during week nights and until
12 midnight on Saturdays. After that
time extreme quietness should be ob-
served.
It was also emphasized that there
should re no loitering between men
and women student - on the bacK bteps
of the women's dorms during the day.
This policy regards to &� it-time
also which is already strted in
the handbook.
No smoking on campus for girls
was emphasised. This regulation is
in the handbook also.
In addition another change was
brought, up for cnid�ration. For
every major case hauled, the judici-
aries are to fill out necessary blanks
to write the decisions, to interpret the
p nalties and to send them to those
co: c�med.
Pr ident Saieed announced that
he hope- a general student assembly
can be held sometime during the first
of January to present the revisions to
i the students "for clearer interpreta-
n and better understanding

Is she an artist? Is she a music
major? Or is she a photographer?
After reading this interview one
could easily become confused as to
just what Miriam Dempsey's pet in-
terest really is. However, as a matter
of surprise, she is a primary major.
Miriam, who is from Fayetteville.
transferred i.m Bob Jones' Univer-
sity in South Carolina, and entered
East Carolina fall quarter of 1952.
Since then she has won many friends
as well as admiration for her out-
standing personality and varied tal-
ents, which she so generously shares
with others.
Miriam graduates this spring quar-
ter and plans to teach in the third
grade. "I already have my school
picked out Miriam says. "I cer-
tainly hope I can get the position
Last quarter she tutored a third
grader who had missed a few weeks
of school because of illness. Miriam
enjoy working with children and is
looking forward to teaching.

she was two years old. Her record

T�risions: Sisn Of Progress
don of the constitution regarding stu-
ilfllions is now under consideration of
tent Legislature and of other bodies. This
vion does not mak? any major
h l&es, tut sevrvai minor ones which have been
Jlly needed, SGA President Mitchell Saieed
pointed out.
For a number of years the constitution of the
East Carolina students went unrevised. During
those years the nation was at war, leaving only
a h?ndful of males among over 1,000 females.
At the cloze of that war, veterans in large num-
bers returned to the campus, unbalancing the
college female population. Still there were no
revisions.
Times have changed a lot. Our enrollment
figures in the past several years has more than
doubled. We have outgrown the smaller East
Carolina College of ten years ago. The college,
like a child, outgrew its clothes. Hence, an in-
crease of faculty a. 1 facilities, building expan-
s .en and other items were necessary.
It is now necessary to make revisions in the
out-dated student handbook to keep pace with
the college's growth. These proposed revisions
will better fit our present day situations. In ad-
dition they will better organize the constitution,
making by-lav0 and the like found much easier
in the pages of tl . handbook. They will also give
a clearer interpretation of the rules and regula-
tions: that is, they can be interpreted alike by
students and �: eraing and judicial bodies.
These revisions have btc and still are under
careful consideration of the Student Government
Association and the Administration. They will
present the final outcome sometime next week.
We sincerely believe that these new changes are
a great step forward and students will accept
and appreciate them.
True Meaning Of Christmas
by Joyce Swttfi
Now that Christmas is just around the cor-
ner, let each of us stop and ask ourselves this
question, "What does Christmas mean to me?"
Is it just a season of gaity? The true mean-
ing of Christmas is so very often lost. A minister
once used the following verse for his text: "And
they came with haste and found Mary and Jo-
seph and the babe lying in a manger (Luke
2:16) The point that he brought out was that
people often just come "with haste" and fail to
find anyone. People are in such a hurry that the
whole meaning is missed.
Christmas is without quertion the most beau-
tiful time oX the year. Its beauty and signifi-
cance are not dependent upon scenery.
It is at Christmas time that we listen more
closely to the word of God and we are drawn
closer to Him. We should meet this Christmas
with lanch gratitude. The birth of Christ should
�ix kept closely in mind. Christ is the source of
.all genuine love.
Many years ago when God sent His only
sos into the world, He made a gift that was the
kjBt expression of love. Let each of us keep
true Christmas meaning in mind. Do not
of Christmas as just a season of beautifully
ifftted-trees, Santa Glaus and gifts. Keep in
that Christmas signifies the birth of Christ
Mn love for the world.
yhmb-iB Peace? Do we really know? It seems
fellevery one in this world thinks that the
ws to have peace is by power. Webster's
Eference Dictionary says that peace

Book Review
A SORT OF A SAGA�An
autobiography by Bill Mauldin,
noted cartoonist and novelist
during World War II.
Reviewed by Philip Jordan
An autobiography is usually writ-
ten in middle or old age by the
author after he has lived a full life.
The author is most often a gTeat
writer, scientist or philospher who
is well known in the country in which
he lives. He might be a great states-
man like Benjamin Franklin or an
experierced writer like Jesse Stuart.
Bill Mauldin is none of these. He
i9 a better than average cartoonist
and an inexperienced writer.
In 1944 Mauldin decided to write
a book about his war experiences and
to use many of the hundreds of car-
toons he did for "Stars and Strips"
the official newspaper of the U. S.
Army, a? illustrations. He had very
little literary experience at the time.
He was, however, an excellent car-
toonist, he had also won the Pulitzer,
a feat no other 22-year-old person has
ever accomplished.
When "Up Front his first book,
was published in 1945, Mauldin found
himself a celebrity overnight. "Up
Front" was a Book-of-the-Month
selection and sold at a terrific rate.
Bill Mauldin followed "Up Front"
with another very successful book
called "Back Home This book was
a very bitter attack on conditions
awaiting the veterans when they re-
turned to America. It also was illust-
rated with many humorous cartoons.
The author waited three years be-
fore putting his magical pen to paper
gem of simplicity and enjoyable read-
again This time he really wrote a
ing. He has written a book that will
appeal to everyone.
"A Sort of A Saga" was written
solely to entertain and it is a master- I
piece of perfection to that end. Mauld-
in has written the story of hfe life in
such a way that the reader is held
spellbound while reading what other-
wise would be just ordinary passages.
Incidental happenings in the Mauld-
in family become vivid pictures in
the reader's mind. "A Sort of A Saga"
is not an orthodox autobiography. It
does not cover the author's life com-
pletely because Mauldin was only 29
when he wrote the book. It dees,
however, give a most complete record
of bis life up until his enlistment in
the Army. This writer feels no fear
of contradiction when he says that
no more huimoroug an autobiography
has been written than "A Sort of A
Saga It contains all the essentials
of a good autobiography: accuracy,
adequate information and entertain-
ment.
A Sort of A Saga" is a worthy
piece of Americana. No doubt genera-
tions to come will read it to learn what
it was like to be a boy m a family

twenties and who always managed
to be brake.

When asked about embarrassing
situations, Sara told us this experi-

he got the letters mixed up. "We

Well we did it again. We had a
wondi rful opportunity to get our
school some national recognition and
muffed it It would appear that there
are only a;out a hundred students
on our campus who care if this school
ever gets any recognition or not.
The Philip Morris All-College All-
American contest that ended Novem-
ber 30 was a grand flop as far as j
ECC was concerned. Lf the students
had go ten behind it, as was hoped,
we could have not only placed one
of our boys on the team but acheived
some nationwide pub!icity for the
college. But it would appear that our
student body was working s� hard
that they couldn't find time on such
a trivial matter as this. We had a
grand total of 1S3 wrappers in the
boxes. And most of these came from
boxes placed in town.
We all recognized this as a good
publicity angle for the cigarette
people, but we could have taken
advantage of it to get the cuilege
some free nationwide publicity. Some
snort-sighted students said they could
not see what good it would do us
anyway. Well, I would like to point
out a few: (1) It would have put
us in the u lie eye in the state
which would have helped President
Messick when he was requesting the
legislature to appropiate funds to
build dorms. (2) It would have cal-
led attention to our college to sports
writers in the state. (3) It would
have made i: i asier for our coaches
to talk good players into coming to
school here, thus building up our
athletic department. (4) It mighrt
have inspired some of our alumni to
ive us some funds for scholarships.
In other words we really missed the
boat.
This is discouraging to those of
us who would like to see the "Big
Four" changed to read the "Big
Five" with EOC as the other college.
li' we, the student body, can't support
and push our school, how can we
expect others to do so. In other words
don't be one who goes to the games
and sits on his hands. YELL, and if
you'll excuse the expression, yell like
hell! If there's a discuss;on of schools
going on when you are at home,
jump in and fight for ECC. This
may sound silly to you, but that's
what it will take to put East Caro-
lina on top�where it belongs.
Sincerely sumitted,

This Week's Movie
by Faye O'Neal
Elizabeth Taylor portrays a young
girl who lives in an earthly paradise
but certainly not because �of her
ability to use her common sense in
"Girl Who Had Everything this
week's campus movie.
Liz is cast as the beautiful young
daughter of a wealthy lawyer who
has all the advantages of life. Wil-
liam Powell is the father and despite
al1 his admirable efforts to guide his
impetuous daughter in the paths of
dignity, he is outwitted and brought
to sorrow along with his daughter.
Fernando Lamas is the rogue who
upsets the aristocrats. He plays as
the head of a gambling syndicate
and inspires Liz to wreck her life by
falling in love with him.
The action is fast. The setting is
in Kentucky and the scenery is beau-
tiful. Elizabeth Taylor wear8 ckthes
that are fashioned to appeal directly
to men. We recommend the film for
an enjoyable hour and a half away
from the actualities of life.
Here in the South where segregation is al-
ways such a timely issue, it is little wonder that
more people have been reading the papers and
listening to their radios in a more alert fash
with the current discussion on the matter that
is taking place in Washington now.
Attorney General Brownell stated in a brief
that the Supreme Court has the authority to end
segregation in the United States. He asserl
that the Constitution's 14th Amendment had
purpose of abolishing all legal distinctions based
on race.
Without doubt this matter is one of the m
important in the nation, particularly in the South
where the problem is between the Negro and the
whites and in Texas and California where hor
of Mexicans and Chinese still seep into the coun-
try despite immigration laws. Brownell has taker;
a stand on one of the controversial issues of
today.
The East Carolinian will make no definite
stand, but we do see the probability of having
to face the issue in the not too distant future,
right here at this school.
In a sort of rambling interview we gathered
the opinions of several interested persons on
whether or not AttornejGeneral Brownel! ia
right in his statement that the Supreme Court
has the authority through the 14th Amendment
to end segregation.
Betsy Hobgood, a senior who is chairman of
the women's judiciary here, stated that it is her
belief that non-segregation in schools can and
will eventually work smoothly in the South, but
only if the system is worked from the top down.
"In other words says Betsy, "begin non-segrega-
tion in college and high school so that the future
young parents will become adapted to it. not
suddenly in all grades in school which would
cause parents who are decidedly against mixing
to use their influence through their children to
upset the progress which might be made B
believes the Supreme Court has ultimate authori-
ty to end segregation.
Agreeing with her is Irving Maynard. an
honor student in the social studies department
who had experience in military service and in
large northern cities with non-segregation. May-
nard does not believe that non-segregation is the
desire of the masses of Negroes, however. He
thinks that they primarily want a system of
"parallelism that is, equality of facilities, not
the right to use the same facilities.
Dr. H. A. Coleman, professor of histor- and
economics at East Carolina and a well-known
voice of politics, has this to say on the matter.
"If this issue could be construed to come within
federal jurisdiction, which I do not concede, it
would be better to let Congress deal with it
Furthermore, the 14th Amendment was con-
ceived for party advantage and as a punishment
for the South and ratified in a most irregular
manner. The secession states had to ratify it or
remain unrepresented in Congress. It would be
sound constitutional law and good race relations
if the issue were left to the states for solution
Charles Hill, a freshman registered in the
pre-legal curriculum at East Carolina, agrees
with Dr. Coleman that the question is one to be
handled by the states. He does believe that the
14th Amendment could be interpreted as the
authority to end segregation. The federal gov-
ernment is within its rights if segregation is
abolished in government-run schools such a8
those on military bases, but the state-run public
schools are under state jurisdiction, according to

For Elks Contest
January Second
Morris Harvey College of Charles-
ton. W. Va has accepted an invita-
tion to meet the East Carolina Col-
lege Pirates in the Elks Bowl foot-
ball game here January 2.
Plans for the contest were first
released November 26 when Erskine
Duff of the Greenville Elks Club
announced that East Carolina had
been invited to participate. Proceeds
from the game, which is being spon-
-ond by the local Elks, will go to the
Eastern North Carolina Boys Camp.
Bowl action will be nothing new
for the visitors. In 1950 and again
in 1951 the West Virginians ap-
peared in the Tangerine and Burley
Bowls, respectively.
Coached by Eddie King, Morris
Harvey will bring to town a squad
which was undefeated in West Vir-
ginia Athletic Conference play and
thereby captured the loop title.
Tne Pirates, who marched to six
successive North State Conference
victories and posted an 8-1 overall
mark, are scheduled to begin practice
Monday. Head Coach Jack Boone has
announced that practice sessions will
be held daily through the 18th when
workouts will terminate for the
Christmas holidays. Practice will be
resumed the 28th after which time
the squad will taper off in prepara-
tion for the contest.
It has also been revealed that
Morris Harvey was among the schools
contacted by local athletic officials
in an attempt to schedule a Thanks-
giving Day contest. Injuries to the
Mountain State club prevented an
agreement but now, barring practice
mishaps. Coach King is expected to
bring a full strength squad to town
for the contest.
Little information concerning re-
9. ectve player strength of the Mor-
tl.t reord shows that for sorr" years
the visitors have been rated as one
of the nation's powerhouse small
college squads.
The Pirates, too, are expected to
be at top strength for the contest.
Paul Gay, J. D. Bradford and Thurs-
ton Callahari. all of whom suffered
late season injuries, are expected to
return to the active list. Dick Cher-

Little All-America quarterback, has
recovered from a knee injury suf-
fered in the seventh game of the
season and is also expected to be
n top shape. Cherry sparkled the team
during the regular season and pitched
17 touchdown passes.
Whether or not the blond quarter-
back's favorite target, senior end
Bobby Hodges will be available for
the contest could not immediately be
learned. Hodges, who holds down the
center slot for Coach Howard Por-
ber's cage squad, may not be able
to compete due to the basketball
season.
The game will mark East Caro-
lina's second appearance in post-
season gridiron play. Last year the
Buccaneers droped a 13-6 decision to
Clarion State Teachers College of
Pennsylvania in the Lions Bowl at
Salisbury.
Appalachian Halfback
Most Valuable Player
In North State League
Shirley Gabriel of Appalachian
State Teachers College has been vot-
ed the most va'uable player of the
North State Conference for his foot-
ball performance this fall.
Second spot in the balloting was
claimed by East Carolina's sopho-
more quarterback, Dick Cherry, with
Bobby Hodges, the Pirates' giant
end, taking third.

tion, N. C, is president of the Ap-
palachian student body and is an i

East Carolina Colleges Pirates
meet the Lenoir Rhyne Bears here
tomorrow night in what should prove
to be one of the crucial gameg of the
North State Conference's infant bas-
ketball season.
The Pirates, who have captured
both their starts this year, will be
favored to again display the mastery
which crought them the regular sea-
son title last year. On the other
hand, however, cage experts point to
the "dark horse" role of the Bears
which means the visitors will be ably
capable of staging an upset.
2-1 Record
As of Monday the Bears wei
sporting a 2-1 record with all games
having been with out-of-conference
opposition. Most convincing of Lenoir
Rhyne's triumphs came Saturday
when they knocked off Tusculum
College of Greeneville, Tenn 98-66.
Leading the visitors' squad will be
Bob Artmyer, Floyd Propst and Ro-
land Barker. Barker especially is ex-
pected to give the Pirates trouble.
In two East Carolina-Lenoir Rhyne
contests last year the senior forward
bucketed a total of 50 points.
East Carolina, however, can coun-
ter with a scoring punch of its own
m the person of Bobby Hodges. The
6' 6 center from Kinston collected
23 points in the Bucs' opening game
triumph over Belmont Abbey and
followed that up with a 32 point
effort against Guilford Saturday.
Expected to aid the Pirate cause also
will be Cecil Heath, Charlie Huff-
man, J. C. Thomas, Paul Jones and
Don Harris. All except Harris are
veterans and members of last year's
championship squad.
Pirates Defeat
Crusaders, 76-61
East Carolina College's Pirates,
pointing for their second straight top
position finish in the North State
Conference, trounced Etlmont Abbey
76-67 in a non-conference congest
December 1 at Belmont. The game
was the first of the season for the
Bucs.
Big Bobby Hodges, All- Couerence
senior center, paced the offensive
show with 23 points. He a!so held
Johnny Ciol. the Crusaders' 6' 10"
center, to a even point output. Ciol,
a transfer from We t Virginia Uni-
versity, is reing counted on heavily
in the Crusaders' bid lor national
basketball recognition.
Charlie Huffman, Cecil Heath and
J. C. Thomas, the other starting
members of last year's ball club,
also came in for C.eir share of hon-
ors. Huffman bucketed 18 points
while Thomas and Heath were col
lecting 1-1 and 13 respectively.

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 far more extensive

Dean Jenkins Cites:
Teacher Shortage Continues
Campus Calendar
Unless counties recruit their own
teachers, the present critical shortage
of teachers will continue, Dean Leo
W. Jenkins of East Carolina College
stated in Morehead City Monday
night of this week. He spoke at the
annual flinner held there by school
principal, and the Carteret County
Board of Education.
Lowering standards i? definitely
not .1 solution to the problem, Dean
Jenkl iftil tamed, and gave as evi-
� th� fact that states with the
highest stardr.rda have the least
in teacher shortage.
"There is a shortage of mtxiical
ra and dentists he continued,
� but no thinking person suggests
, lal we lower the standards in
� professions but rati.tr inert? ;e
es for instruction and mrlre
is available. This ?hi ��!
e done in the teaching pro-
ressit
People who claim that certification
cau ing the shortage are either
cquain ed with high school and
college students or they are "throw-
I ing up a smoke screer the East
Carolina Dean said. Of the 5,000
college students in Nortn Carolina
last year that were surveyed, leas
than one percent claimed certification
requirements as a reason for the
teacher shortage, he explained.
"Various counties he concluded,
"should finance a t aeher training
education for people who plan to
return to the county

Upon arriving at the Abbey it was
discovered that Coach Porter had left
his regular crimson game attire be-

was some deliberation as to whether
or not call the game off or tempo-

Jim Wexler, former Syracuse cag� r,
enrolled at East Carolina and stayed
three days before departing r Bel-
mont Abbey. It seems Wex�er had
rather play this year than wait out
a year's eligibility to lay for the
Pirates. Anyway you look at it, the
Pirates lost a good prospect.
