"Business Too Big"
Billy stated that handling Student

and d rosits "is getting too big a
u-irc to handle He pointed out
hat the Budget office carries $5,000
lO ?0.000 in student deposits and does
i volume of more han $30,000 turn-
over during the nine-month year in
i er-onal deposits. In addition, the
office handles approximately $45,000
in SGA funds in nine months.
The present system of handling
student personal funds is very ineffi-
cient, Billy added. "It worked all
right with an 800 to 1.100 enrollment,
ut new th" student body has doubled
?o 2,200 He also mentioned that
East Carolina was probably the only
college with such a system whereas
the SGA was responsible for cashing

deposits.

Know Your famous Activities: SGA Legislature, Executive Council

Arlene Soskey
appears in "Carmen'
Should you be confronted with the
inquiry, "What is the most powerful
organization on campus? we won-
der V1 would need to hesitate
before answering, the Student Gov-
ernment Association. Probably not.
But in giving this answer, are you
iware of just how big and powerful
and important this organized body
's? In a conversation with SGA Pres-
ident Mitchell Saieed, we gathered a
number of enlightening facts.
Composed of Three Branches
The Student Government Associa-
tion is composed of three branches,
he Executive, the Legislative and the
Judiciary. The most powerful o these
:s the Legislature, which is actually
he law making ?' ody for all campus
ictivities. Mitchell describes the Leg-
islature as "a cross-section of rep-
r sentatives from the whole campus
nd indeed it is, (for its 67 members
iriginate from every corner of the
"ampus. Among the members are rep-
resentatives from every organization
recognized by the SGA on campus,
each class, "East Carolinian "Buc-
caneer the Men's Judiciary, Wo-
men's Judiciary, Men's Day Students,
Women's Day Students, each dormi-
tory, and one member from each of
11 standing committees.
These committees are: Budget, En-
tertainment, Social, Publications
Board, Point System, Elections,
Handbook Awards, Ring, Campus
by Valeria Shearon
"mprovement, and Productions. Each
?wmittee has a specific job and is
ully responsible to the Legislature,
which appoints the members each
year.
2,200 Members of SGA
Every student enrolled in East
Carolina College (becomes an auto-
matic member of the SGA when he
pays the $11 activity fee at regis-
tration. Over half of thi3 amount
goes to the SGA for appropriations
to the various campus organizations
and activities as applications are
made for them. The Legislature de-
termines the amount of the appro-
priations, which totals about $40,000
yearly.
Coordinate Student Affairs
The purpose of the SQA is to
coordinate student alffairs and to work
in full cooperation with the Admin-
istration for the good of the student
body. Since it is the most powerful
organization on campus, every item
of campus life must pass through
its channel before legally becoming
a reality.
Officers of this year's SGA are:
president, Mitchell Saieed; first vice
president, Charles Huffman; second
vice president, Wade Cooper; treasur-
er, Billy Laughinghouse; secretary,
Shirley Council; first assistant treas-
urer. Howard Rooks; second assistant
treasurer, Milton Foley; third assist-
ant treasurer, Anne Bynum; and
historian .Donald King.
Executive Branch
The second division of the SGA
which this article will treat is the
Executive Council, composed of the
aforementioned SGiA officers, chair-
men and vice chairmen of the Men's
and Women's Judiciaries, and the
editors of the "East Carolinian" and
the "Buccaneer totaling 11 mem-
bers.
The Executive Council has three
primary functions. First, it is a poli-
cy making body. Second, it approves
campus clubs and organizations, and
third, it recommends laws to be made
which the vote of the legislature may
or may not accept.
The SGA meets every Wednesday
at 7 p.m. in Flanagan auditorium
except the first one in each month.
These meetings are open to all who
wish to attend, and the officers are
anxious for you to come and see first
hand how the campus government
is handled. On the first Wednesday
m each month, the Executive Coun-
cil meets in the SGA office.
Here is presented two-thirds of
your campus government "in a nut-
shell" you might say. By active par-
ticipation in elections, attending SGA
meetings, and cooperating in other
ways, you, as an East Carolina stu-
dent, can be a better campus eitiasen,
and in turn a better citisen of th
city, county, state, or country in
which ysu live.
the Student Union is completed in
Wright, th? treasurer will make his
office there.
The new system will divide the
duties of the present system. That is,
the student bank will e open to cafh
individual checks and to make stu-
dent deposits. The SGA treasurer will
transact financial businesses of the
Student Government and SGA bpon-
orod organizations only.
More Constitution Changes
Major changes of the constitution
regarding the Budget office and the
Budget Committee were reviewed
Wednesday night in the Legislature.
They will be presented within two
weeks to the student body for their
apnroval in a campus-wide election.
The following were proposed:
That the Student Government es-
tablish a Student bank on a coopera-
tive basis with the Administration.
The policies will be set by the SGA
' resident and the treasurer and the
college business manager, upon con-
iderations of recommendations from
the Student Legislature.
That the regular term Legislature
pay two-thirds of one-half of the
alary for the teller.
That the summer term Legislature
pay one-third of one-half of said
salary.
That the Administration defray all
other expenditures to maintain tht
tudent bank.
Strike out the second and the third
a Bistant treasurers from the slate of
SGA officers.
The first assistant treasurer will
not receive pay.
All expenditures for Legislature or
Student Fund must first be presented
?o the Budget Committee for approval
or r jection and recommendation shall
' e made to the Legislature for final
decision.
The Budget Committee will be com-
posed of the first assistant treasurer
as secretary with a vote, two men
and three women from the Legisla-
ture.
All income and receipts from the
Entertainment Committee shall not
be spent, but returned to the Student
Fund at the end of Spring Quarter.

Comedienne Anna Russell received
a number of comments from students
nere. Some say she was hilarious.
Others say she was boring and not
worth the money spent for her per-
formance.
One thing that students must re-
member. That is, that they selected
this year's Entertainment Series in
a general election last year which
approximately 300 voted.
On the other hand students said
that they knew very little or nothing
of the entertainments on ballot. In
an effort to aid this situation, this
newspaper will try to find and print
information of each of the entertain-
ments which will appear on this year's
allot.
If each student will then take the
time to study the entertainments and
then vote for the ones of his choice,
the 1954-55 Entertainment Series
should be the best ever' with few
complaints.
A Move To Promote Creative Writing
During the current school year, a group of
the faculty organized the Humanities Committee.
This has definitely been one of the most effective
of such organizations ever in action here. A few
weeks ago we endorsed this same group for their
presentation of a very interesting and informa-
tive symposium on Romanticism. More recent
among their accomplishments is providing for
the genesis of a creative writers club here on
campus.
Last Monday night an enthusiastic group of
32 charter members began organization of this
club. All reports assure us that the possibilities
and probabilities of success for them run high.
The East Carolinian again endorses those who
provided the initiative for this beginning.
It is none too soon that the aspiring creative
writers at East Carolina are getting opportunity
for outlets of their talents and efforts. In a school
of this size, there can be no doubting the fact
that more than a few students can write com-
mendably and would gladly do so with only a
little inspiration. It is a shame that the English
department of the college cannot offer courses in
creative writing. It is our opinion that no project
could be more worthy of serious consideration.
Monday night 32 students on cam-
pus met with the purpose to orga-
nize a new club, a creative writers
troup.
We feel that such an organization
will aid a long felt need on campus
for an outlet for creative writers.
Most colleges and universities pro-
vide literary magazines, clubs and
courses which would give the inter-
ested students encouragement in cre-
ative writing.
Emphasis has been put here on
culture in music and some in dra-
matics and in art. Now creative writ-
ing should not be neglected. We feel
safe in saying that there are no
courses offered at East Carolina that
furthers student creative writing.
The advance grammar and composi-
tion course in the English curricular
comes near it, but grammar is em-
phasized.
With this new club, a new and
greater interest will arouse among
students for creative writing.
"There's nothing like a group of
girls says Janie Parker, a senior

dent of Fleming dorm. "It really is

Much More Ado About Socks
Writer Answers Story Protest
Pardon, we are slipping. Pete Jones
of Goldsboro attended the same high
school that the noted Andy Griffith
is an instructor. In last week's "East
Carolinian" it was stated that Pete
was a classmate. We regret this
error, especially because Andy is a
number of years older than Pete.
Pete says he doesn't want to be
considered that old as yet.

Concerning "But Socks Say it"
("East Carolinian February 5)
Dear Pat,
We have never read such a com-
pletely absurd article in the "East
Carolinian" in our stay here in Green-
ville. In your first paragraph, you
stated that it is your personal op-
;non that "turned-up-socks" are
stupid, well, we're sure nobody cares
what your personal opinon is further-
more, you seem to think this is some
recent catastrophe in fashions. You
are not only blind, but also behind
date, fashion, etc about five years.
f you have ever visited other camp-
use for instance, WC, Salem, Peace,
Queens, St. Mary's and other girls'
school noted for its fashionable girls,
you might have the shock of your
life. Not only are the socks turned
up, but they extend all the way to the
knees. "For warmth?" "Emphasis
of shapely legs?" "To attract at-
tenton?" Clean socks?" Call it what
you may, but in most cases we think
you will find the answer "fashion It

As for the paragraph stating that

Forum And Against'em
Tie President's Hands?
by Faye O'Neal
euss
Having been attributed with possessing- such
powers as splitting the personality of the chorac-
teristic elephant which symbolizes the GOP, the
Bricker Amendment has kept gaining impetus
within the past few weeks to become the high-
light of almost every national newscast heard
throughout the United States. One cartoonist
recently drew a picture of a worried political
aspirant asking a teletype operator, "Any agree-
ments yet with Russia or Bricker?"
The Bricker Amendment was designed to
limit the treaty-making power of the United
States government. It would make inoperative
all treaties which deal with matters reserved to
the states by the Constitution unless such treaties
had the approval of the State Legislatures; it
would give to Congress the power to regulate all
executive agreements with foreign nations. The
easiest way to explain the main feature of the
Bricker Amendment is to say that it would limit
the treaty-making powers of the President.
The lines of battle were drawn when Presi-
dent Eisenhower stated that he is "unalterably
opposed" to the measure to which Senator Brick-
er replied that the President made a "purely
emotional argument which was utterly without
foundation The fight which is one of the biggest
in the history of Congress, is fundamentally a
political one between the Eisenhower wing and
the Old Guard of the Republican party. Never-
theless, the decision will be one which will affect
each American citizen.
How do we who make up the youth of the
nation feel about the Bricker Amendment?
Wade Cooper, an East Carolina junior who
calls himself a "Jeffersonian Democrat has this
to say about the proposed change. "I disagree
with the Bricker Amendment on the grounds that
it is another step toward the closing of men's
minds to their individual thoughts. It is, in my
opinion, direct contrast to the ideals and principles
expressed in our Constitution
Quoting from Barbara Batchelor of Green-
ville, who is a sophomore honor student and who
takes interest in all current events: "Bricker

national security with red tape, when discretion
(The following letter was written
by Jim Clark, a student, at East Caro-
lina after attending the performance
by Anna Russell last week).
After hearing the renowned Anna
Russell Tuesday evening, I wonder
if she was really worth $1,250. Ray
Anthony received $1,000 for his per-
formance here last spring.
Apparently she lost her audience
after the first five minutes. It could
have been due to the fact that her
satire was not understood; or that her
audience could not hear her too well
due to the English enunciation.
Heretofore the applause has been
deafening but Tuesday it was rather
subdued. She did not receive any
encores at intermission. Maybe if
her audience had been British her pro-
gram would have ileen received with
more appreciation and enthusiasm. I
am sure that $1,250 dollars can secure
-omeone who is more entertaining
than she. She is definitely below the
high standards set by entertainers
who have previously appeared here.

Dear Peggy and Hazel,
In regards to the above letter, Web-
ster's New Collegiate Dictionary
defines fashion as the prevailing us-
ag in dress. Fad is defined as a cus-
tom, amusement, or the like, followed
for a time with exaggerated zeal. Be
honest, irls, are you sure you know
the difference?
You claim that I am five years
behind in fashion. Are you sure you
aren't trying to revive customs that
were stylish in your grandmother's
day?
Yes, I have had the pleasure of
visiting some of the girls' school you
mentioned. What they do is all good
?nd well, but East Carolina is a co-ed
school. I'm sure the boys would re-
sent you comparing the fads of ECC
?o the antics that are carried on in
a prirls' school.
Certainly I realize that fashions
.hanjre, but wearing socks pulled up
to the knees went out with the horse
and buggy. By the way, are you in-
sinuating that girl? of ECC who do
not wear their socks pulled up to
th ir knees are not fashionable? Many
of the girla who do not like this style
evidently just aren't fashionable.
Of course I have no definite proof
as to why girls on ECC campus wear
their socks turned up, but I have
talked to many people and the general
idea is that most of the girls who
wear their socks turned up are going
steady. Of course, there are some
people who always must be different,
but that is beside the point.
You may wear your socks in any
manner you choose for any reason
you please if you want to be fashion-
able, but I'm sure if you only inqured
around a little on ECC campus, you

Thought
by Don King, Ed Mathews
"Buzz" Yonnjr
What about social fraternities at
ECC? Do you think that they would
help our school? Would they increase
its scope of education and social life?
Would they tend to unite our stu-
dents or would they cause dissension
?nd dissatisfaction? Would they make
the students happier, or would they
just bo a drain on their pocketbook?
All of these are questions that
must be answered when you talk
about fraternities on this or any cam-
pus We think that first we should
become cognizant of the fact that a
club, fraternity or any organization
can never be better than its members.
Keeping this in mind we can go into
the other facets of the problem.
East Carolina draws a lot of stu-
dents because it is less expensive
than most colleges. Thus you might
rightly say that many of our stu-
'ents can not afford additional ex-
penses. Of course fraternities have
never had, and-are not considering
compulsory induction; ' ut neverthe-
less some students would feel badly
because they could not join.
Our student body is now too large
to be simply "one happy family" as
in the past. Each quarter you see
would find that the gent-rally accepted I more and more cliques forming. With
idea for wearing turned up socks is
that a girl is going steady.

such a larpe number of students on
campus this is only natural. Fra-
ternites could give these groups of-
ficial recognition and form, or they
could make the break between student
and student body even greater. That
would depend on the members also.
It is easily seen that fraternities
could help improve the social life of
a member. They could supply him
with planned and informal recreation.
No one can deny the fact that Green-
ville is not abundantly filled with
recreational facilities.
On the other hand it has been
pointed out to us that many of our
leading students are self-help stu-
dents. Most of these would pro ably
be excluded ifrom fraternities because
of the expense. That could hurt the
fraternities and the school. Too, fra-
ternities carry a lot of political weight
and might tend to prevent some de-
serving non-members from obtaining
public campus office.
Some people here are against na-
tional fraternities because of their
(xpense, which they believe is too
great for the advantages gained.
They would prefer that we have local
organizations which would be less
expensive because all dues would stay
in the local house.
We believe that this problem def-
initely has two sides and that all
students should have a knowledge of
'roth sides of the argument, for we
believe it ig a student problem, and
in the end should be decided by the
students.

concerning the existing problems in our bcI

One case you mentioned dealt with Mr. Lloy

meeting in 1951. According to Moulds, he found

We are neither condeming nor praising the

would like you to answer several quest;

a "marked achievement" if it is known he has
exerted the best of his abilities in striving

In regard to democratic teaching, the au-
thoritarian (or old school) of learning was far
from democratic. The children were taught by a
formal routine, each child learning the same
drills and exercises which were sometimes boring
both to the child and teacher. The modern school
tries to teach the children by units, correlating
many subjects into one unit, making the subjects
more interesting as well as beneficial. The modern
teacher does not want to be feared by her stu-
dents, though respected, she wants to be a guide
in stimulating learning, instead of an authori-
toruan who stands in front of the class with a
book in one hand and a paddle in the other.
We have yet to walk into a class and see
children shooting off firecrackers and putting
fish in the ventilating system. Since these things
did occur, the methods of discipline probably
would be different from the discipline methods
you received when you attended school. A mod-
ern teacher is now concerned with why a child
would shoot firecrackers in class. When a teacher
can understand a child's reasons for his actions.
then she can deal with him accordingly.
We too hope that the taxes that you, as well
as ourselves, pay, will be "for education, not

Last Saturday in Norfolk, Vs
Eva.t Carolina' intercollegiate sports
program took a back seat to an
riduai performer in the person-
age of Rodney Ledas, ' .nior weight
lifter from Petersburg, as the 180-
pound body builder walked off with
the "Mr. Tidewater" physique and
weight lifting contest.
Rodney ea;tured the light-heavy-
weight bar bells match by lifting an
almost incredulous total of 670
pounds. He cleaned and jerked 260
pounds, pressed 220 and snatched 190
pounds. The trophies increased his
ction of the metal denotations
to seven?not had for a fellow who's
inly been working out for a little
over three years, don't you think?
In January of 1953 Rodney first
roc- bred the recognition he so de-
I ?th m the "East Carolinian"
an : ? local pater. Since then he
has come a long way?working con-
usly to better improve the nat-
ural bodily defect he suffered as a
child.
The f;rst body-boasting contest he
???red was the "Mr. Capital Dis-
trict" event in December 1952. He
left the illuminated platform with
the title for his scrapbook. Beginners
luck? No sir. Weightlifting is a sport
that cold shoulders Dame Fortune. It
calls for ir.credible determination and
stamina and fate has to be generat-
ed, no flash-in-the-pan stuff.
With this feather in his cap, Rod-
ney worked vigorously in the base-
ment of Wright building until last
summer when he again started play-
ing the tournaments.
He entered the Mr. Health" con-
test last July in Norfolk and ad-
mira ly placed behind the winner.
Steve Klisanin, junior Mr. America.
He wor. three weightlifting trophies,
though, by taking the rurls with a
170 pound lift and the prones with
. stnj endous 320 pound lift.
Last May he copped a close second
in the "Mr. Virginia" contest, al-
though he whipped the winner in the
"Mr. Capital District" contention ear-
lier in the year. This is the one as
far as Rodney is concerned. He wants
very badly to win the title in his
native state.
Developing his lithe 118 pound
torso into 180 pounds of mirculous
muscle and strength is an achieve-
ment that is self-praising. When he
began the bar bell driils three years
asro he slightly ' Ved the scales at
Phillip
a mere 118. He has since added 62
pounds of muscle tissue and composi-
tion that makes you shudder with
envy when he strips to the waist.
His arms are- ponderous, examples of
sheer definition. By the tape, his bi-
ceps measure 18 inches cold. His chest
measurement is 47 inches and his
waist simmers to 30. He buttons-
up a size 16 collar.
He has developed his skinny frame
into granite perfection. His brazen
composition was developed by many
weighty hours of leaden exercises and
a will-power that can hypnotize.
Months of constantly jerking the
ponderous weights with the keen
know-how for body building has been
eya successful formula.
His strength is amazing. He can
prone over 330 pounds. He can as-
tound you by pressing over 230
pounds. His snatch capacity runs
around 200 pounds and for the clean
and jerk he lifts as high as 280
pounds.
Since winning his seven trophies,
Rodney has become even more en-
thusiastic about weightlifting and
bodybuilding as a vocation. He in-
tends to enter numerous physique
and lifting deeathalons in the future.

ACTUAL CARAT SIZES

Zs iamonds are popuarly thought of in terms
of size, but are always sold by weight. The
un't of weight is the carat, which is divided
into 100 points (1 carat equals 100 points;
Vi carat 50 points, etc.) In ancient India a
carat was the weight of the carat seed; now
it is an exact unit defined by the Bureau of
Standards. The spread or surface of a dia

weight. Unless you're an expert there are
