Entertainment Series is probably the
most photographed Cossack in the
world.
He hag made dozens of motion pic-
tures and is summoned each season
to Hollywood whenever there is a
call for a colorful Cossack in a movie.
A daring horseman, trained fcy his
father and his grandfather, Soloduhin
has also been featured by Ringling
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's
?Circus in riding spectacles, perform-
ing the famous Cossack trick of rid-
ing strapped to a horse's belly.
Soioduhin came to America a de-
lude ago with the Platoff Cossacks
and after their debut at the San
Francisco World's Fair was signed
by Colonel Tim McCoy, the Wild
West motion picture star and became
a regular member of his company
also making summer tours with Col-
onel McCoy with the circus. During
the war when Colonel McCoy rejoined
the United States Cavalry, Soloduhin
returned to his band of fellow Cos-
sacks for their overseas tours to
entirtain American troops and he
has been with them ever since.
In the current program of the Cos-
acks, Soloduhin is featured in the
Lezkinka, a barbaric Caucasion dance
which begins on the sad lilt of a
peasant song and concludes in a wild
dance of jubilation. With the entire
chorus providing the vocal tack-
ground, Soloduhin performs the tradi-
tional dance with daggers which never
fails to stir his audiences.

An Editorial:
Look'em Over Before Casting Your Vote In SGA Elections
Before putting an "X" in the little square on ballot of SGA candidates, students should be ac-
quainted with each office-seeker. In a college of over 2,000 it would be impossible to make per-
sonal contacts with every one.
In this issue there are sketches of major candidates giving students a picture of these
personalities pnd an outline of their plans or campaign promises.
We hope that each student will "look the candidates over" before voting. By reading the
sketches in tl is issue and by listening to the cand' ates at the all-college assembly Wednesday,
March 17. students should have a good picture for electing next year's officers.
Probably most students have already decided their choice of officers; however, it would be wise
to "look 'em all over

ficers for 1964-1966 were heard and
i letter from the Atlantic Christian
College chapter was read concerning
the joint meeting of the two chapters
which for several years has been an
annual event with each chapter al-
ternating as host.
The program consisted of an in-
formal discussion by the fraternity
nrrnbers. who have completed their
student teaching. Jane Simmons, Ann
McCrary and Edna Massad talked in-
formally about their experiences! in
classes of English, French, and Span-
ish.
Creative Writers
Specify Interests
At Recent Meet
Ten new members were welcomed
into the Creative Writers Club here
on campus at its second meeting held
recently. The club, still in the organ-
izational stage, now boasts of 42 mem-
bers.
A tentative constitution, formulated
by club officers, was read to the club,
revised and passed upon. It was
agreed that the main purposes of the
organization are: to promote interest
and provide inspiration to any po-
tential creative writer; to place East
Carolina College in a recoginzed
(bracket of literary achievement; and
to promote better community-college
relations.
President Faye O'Neal lead dis-
cussion concerning individual writing
interests and the topics to be studid
during future meetings. The mem-
bers divided into interest groups in
order that they might work together
more thoroughly. They elected a chair-
man from each group to serve as a
program board. Specific interest
groups were short stories, television
script writing, poetry, juvenile
fiction and miscellaneous writing
Refreshments were served by Dr.

Food Poison: Your Responsibility
Last Tuesday night seven East Carolina boys
went down town for supper. Six hours later all
seven were in critical condition because of food
poisoning.
Despite the fact that what evidence remains
all points to one particular eating place, we feel
that in order to insure fair judgment with re-
gard to this unfortunate situation it must be
pointed out that this poisoning could have oc-
curred in any restaurant, cafeteria or private
home.
Although the existing evidence cannot show
that this establishment was guilty of violating
sanitary regulations, perhaps a certain amount of
investigation and some permanent good can come
of near-tragedy.
In the past numerous opportunities for
closer relations between students and townspeople
have availed themselves but little has been done.
Now perhaps, since a committee has been ap-
pointed to inspect various eating places in this
area, more may be accomplished.
We are not accusing the people of Green-
ville of taking unfair advantage of the students,
quite to the contrary relations have always
been of the best. But it certainly does seem that
with all this school and its student body means
to Greenville both school and body deserve the
best.
With the Student Government acting as
representatives for our 2.000 odd students much
could be accomplished for East Carolina. In ad-
dition to double checking on eating establish-
ments it is quite possible that the SGA might
obtain a lower retail sale price for members of
the student body. This last suggestion should
most certainly apply to Greenville's theatres.
And so, despite Tuesday's unfortunate oc-
curance, it appears that much may have been
brought to light by it.
When one remembers the amount that East
Carolina students spend in this area and the re-
cent rapid growth of this institution, then it
should be realized that there is a tremendous
bargaining power on our campus. Unfortunately
this bargaining power has lain all too dormant
in the past but. with effective SGA leadership,
we believe that much could be done in securing
cooperative advantages from Greenville firms
for ECC students.
It's a long jump from food poisoning to lower
rates at the theatres but it's quite possible that
one may lead to the other.
SGA, it's up to you. ?RPH
No Reason For Arguments
From now on the national question of 18-
year-olds voting can be eliminated in the bull
sessions on the East Carolina campus. Students
no longer have a point to argue for the right of
the 18-year-old to vote after the general election
Tuesday. February 23.
It is true that we as males are eligible at 18
to fight for our country, but would we vote at 18
if we had the opportunity? Evidently not. In our
own campus elections only 314 of 2,000 voted on
the proposed student bank which directly con-
cerns us. This is about 15 per cent of the student
body voting. Last year the same number voted on
this year's Entertainment Series.
Should then 18-20-year-olds, the group the
majority here belongs, be allowed to vote? If the
same percentage participated in the national and
state elections, it would bring the voting rate
lower than it is. In the 1952 presidential election
approximately 50 per cent of the eligible voters
went to the polls. The spirit of voting that was
demonstrated in our campus elections shows no
arguments for 18-year-old suffrage.
Non-voters on campus should not utter one
complaint on any issue that has been voted on.
And we do not want to hear any more sob
stories on why the 18-year-old should vote until
this non-voting group can prove that they are
Interested enough in American Democracy to take
advantage of the existing opportunities.

Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina
If we were musically minded we
would compose a song or even if we
were poetically minded we would
write an ode to lost fountain pens
on registration days. Lt seems that
a number of juris stray from their
owners then.
No. we are not accusing anyone of
stealing. The way most pens are
misplaced is told by a certain student:
"On registration day last quarter
when I got all signed up for my
courses some fellow asked to use my
pen so T tell him to give it back to
me lattr, that I had other places to
go. So the next day I see this fel-
low and ask him about my pen. He
tells me that he loaned it to a friend.
Then I look up his friend. He tells me
that "he gave it to a friend of mine
to return it to me. Well, I have seen
that friend just about every day dur-
ing the Winter Quarter, but he nor I

election. "Politicians never die, they
just small that way
We hope that our campus politic-
ians will conduct a clean campaign
for this year's general campus elec-
tions for SGA officers. Mud slinging
will get a candidate nowhere. We have
always heard that you can't push a
fellow in the mire without going in
with him. Slanderous statements will
not be appreciated by the voters and
can put the originator into a lot of
trouble.
To all candidates for SGA offices
we urge them to make only promises
they feel that they can and will carry
out and to be honest at all times in
order that the student can vote
honestly.
Versatile Primary Major Regrets Graduation
A primary major who is very anx-
ious to begin teaching is our outstand-
ing senior of this week, Joyce Gurley.
Joyce is from Mt. Olive, but has
lived in Goldsboro most of her life
and still calls it home.
"I did my student teaching in the

Joyce, "and I enjoyed every minute

"it was really nice meeting new girls
and feeling that you were helping

Active In YWCA
She has ' een an outstanding mem-
ber of the YWCA during her four
years at East Carolina, serving on
many committees. During her sopho-
more year she served as music chair-
man, her junior year she served as
vice-president and this year she has
held the office of personal chairman.
"I've enjoyed working with the "Y"
as much as anything I've ever done
says Jo. ce. She also served on the
Interreligious Council last year.
Joyce Gurley
A member of the Future Teachers

Joyce held the office of vice-president
of the WAA her junior year. "I real-

(ACP) This one has them laughing
at the University of Nebraska:
On the first day of second semester
classes, a tardy professor walked into
a room where 100 students had gath-
ered for a political science class.
He walked briskly to the blackboard,
erased what had been written there
and announced, "If there's anyone
not here for political science 4, now's
the time to leave
The students protested. This is po-
litical science 1, they said. Then it
dawned on the bewildered professor,
who grinned, apologized, said "I must
be in the wrong room" and left.
A minute or so later the right
professor came in.
Overheard in a classroom:

at any other campus visited this

about the pleasure derived from con-
tact with the amazing perceptive
minds I found in the student body.
Their questions in class and workshop
were designed to stimulate a fine type
of discussion. Not for a long time
have I found students willing to
work with a visiting lecturer as if
he were a resident staff member.
Finally, I had cause on the occasion
of my lecture in the College Theatre
to remember Whitman's statement
that "to have great poetry we must
have great audiences This is
especially true of presentations in the
field of poetry. If some of the very
pleasant things said to me about my
program are true, it is only because
of the fine, sensitive and responsive
audience that the Faculty Lecture
Cluo was able to secure for me.
I cannot close this letter without
saying how grateful I am to my host
family, Dr. and Mrs. Hubert Coleman
and Madelyn, and how much I en-
joyed seeing my old friends Dr. and
Mrs. Charles Reynolds. And for my
'new friends on the "East Carolinian"
'staff I add a brief but appreciative

Campus Couple Of The Week
by Eroly
This week's couple, Frances Smith,
a sophomore from Robersonville, and
Ed Gore, a senior from Shallotte,
first met in Miss Tifft's health class.
However, nothing happened until Ed
'saw Frances singing in the choir at
church one Sunday. He told her how
much he enjoyed the music and after
that they began talking every day
before class. One night Frances was
walking along with a group of girls
and dropped her purse. Ed happened
to be behind them and gallantly
picked it up for her. He offered to
walk her home, and Frances suc-
ceeded in getting up enough courage
to ask him to the Sadie Hawkins
Dance. They have been going to-
gether since that dance on Novembel
22, 1952.
Ed and Frances both like to dance,
sing, solve puzzles, ride and eat, and
says Frances, "I love to talk to Ed.
He's an extremely interesting con-
versationalist. Also I like his sincerity,
intelligence and his shoulders
Says Ed, "I like the way Fran
dresses, her sincerity and the way
she sings. We enjoy doing most
everything together
Last summer Ed and Fran took a
!trip to Key West. Miami, St. Augus-
tine, Marineland, the Monkey Jungle
and Silver Springs are but a few of
the high spot they saw on the trip.
n Blount
They have also been to the Azalea
Festival and to the mountains.
"One of our most embarrassing
experiences says Fran, "was the
time we were at the beach with my
family. My little niece and nephew,
who look a lot like both Ed and I,
wanted to go swimming so Ed took
the boy and I took the girl. We were
having a lot of fun 'til one of my
girl friends saw us and started eyeing
me rather peculiarly. I know she
thought we were married; anyway,
we took the children back and de-
posited them with their parents f?r
the remainder of the day
Ed, who is majoring in business
education, plans to go into the con-
tracting and real estate business with
his father after finishing school. His
father owns an island off the main-
land near Shallotte, which is for
tourist trade. He also plans to raise
cattle along with his father, who has
a herd of longhorns.
Fran, who is majoring in music,
hopes to become a professional vo-
calist and says Ed, "If things work
out maybe everyone will be hearing
her before long
(Editor's r te: By being named
Couple of the Week, Frances and Ed
will each receive a gift from Saslow's
Jewelers and a ticket to the Pitt
Theatre.)
Ii ar Editor:
1 would like to submit a suggestion
to the faculty of East Carolina. I
feel that exams which take up only
what has been covered since the pre-
vious test and are actually the same
as the other tests throughout the
quarter should definitely not count as
one third of a student's final grade.
Durinjr exam week a student is
always under added tension and will
often not do as well as he ordinarily
would otherwise. A professor can not
take into account this psychological
aspect when making out his grades.
He must put down only what the
student actually makes. To place such
emphasis on the final test is there-
fore extremely unfair to the student.

For
Thought
by Don Kin. Ed Mathews
"Bun" Young
in spite of the fact that this week's
par er is crammed full of faces about
. ampus politics, we would like to have
our say about the coming election.
It's not that we are trying to cram
anything down your throat its simply
that we feel something needs to be
said about student participation in
self-government. We hope that you
will take this in the way that it is
intended: for the good of the school.
Seldom in national elections do as
much as 50 per cent of the registered
voters exercise their privilege. This
puts the United States at the botton
of the list as far as voter participa-
tion is concerned. In the last campus
balloting only 15 per cent of the stu-
dent body voted.
We here do not have to register
or travel more than the length of the
campus to vote. But, with seeming
disdain, most people pass up their
chance to have a voice in our govern-
ment. We don't know why this is so,
but we do know the remedy for it.
Very simply, it Is for every student
not only to vote, but to become cog-
nizant of the issues or candidates he
is voting for or against. And instead
of griping about the way things are
done or not done, he should show
enough interest to run for office so
that he or she might see that things
are done the right way.
This college has more self-govern-
ment than any other school in this
area. We should be proud of this fact,
'out we should not stop there; we
should also make it clear that we
want to keep our self-government
and work towards increasing its scope.
And we can only do this by acting like
the mature, capable, and intelligent
young men and women that we are
supposed to be, and that we should
be when we are "on our own" in col-
lege.
Ifn the end it is up to us, the stu-
dents, to see that things are done
the right way in our school. If you
are interested in the betterment of
our home, than you should act. If
you are not, it only shows that you
are extremely lazy or just not ap-
preciate the fact that you live in a
place where you can make your likes
or dislikes known. In either case you
are a poor citizen. Wake up, and be-
come a part of your government.
James Butler told of college life,
alumni affairs, and urged support
of the college tuition scholarship
projects.

Books which have been censored at one time
or another always have quite an appeal to the
general public. A great many of the mo?t widely
known censored books have been recognized as
important works of literature and several litl
known authors have become well established and
even popular writers as a result of the publicity
received from their censors. Censorship ranges
from the temporary banning of The .1

instance occurred in 1624 when the papa1 a .

Censorship dates as far back as 2'
when an emperor of China, who "frowned
all literature ordered The Analects of Coi

What About Hawaii?
by Faye O'Neal
Be Sure To
Vote
For Your Choice
Thursday, March 18
Having stashed away for future reference
the embattled Bricker Amendment and other cur-
rent controversial measures, the members of the
United States Congress this week began discus-
sion on the long pre-discussed possibilities for
Hawaiian statehood.
Since we were in grade school reading ?Cur-
rent Events" every week, we have been told
the probabilities of having Hawaii added as the
49th state to the union. Now that the legislation
is near at hand which will decide whether another
star will be added to "Old Glory Americans and
world citizens alike have had their thinking on
the matter renewed.
The most popular picture shows the islanders
living the life of luxurious leisure among riotous
myriads of flowers and palms with the blue sky
above and the dancing sea beside them. Truthfully,
the Hawaiians are not living that way. A good por-
tion of the population on the islands is made up
of Americans. The Americans and the Hawaiian
natives live in harmony and the differences in
their everyday life are few. The big question is
.vhether the Hawaiians are ready for statehood.
There are several East Carolina students
who are avidly interested in international and
national affairs. Following are the views of a
few of them
A social studies major from Farmville, John
Joyner, has made himself known here by his
ability, and interest in timely topics. Joyner said,
"I think Hawaii should be immediately added as
the 49th state. Although our responsibility toward
them might seem great, the long run should se
the assets outweigh the liabilities He also feels
that the Hawaiians will make conscientious citi-
zens.
Anne Smith, a Tarboro senior honor student.
feels in a different way about the matter. She
stated, "I think the Hawaiians deserve statehood
but not now. There are many Communists in Ha-
waii and annexing the islands as a new state in
the union might open a new door for Communists
to enter America She cited the fact that several
prominent Hawaiian leaders think that this isn't
the time to add Hawaii to the union.
President of the Junior class, Bob Neilsen of
Kinston, had this to say about the situation:
"The islands have been colonial territory long
enough. The islanders have proved themselves
worthy of the privileges of statehood. According
to what I have read the Hawaiians have been
cooperative in forming a good government, prov-
ing their capabilities. They bore the brunt of the
Japanese attack against the United States in
World War II, thus saving parts of the continent
from devastation. I think the move to add Hawaii
to the union is a good one He admitted the
danger of Communist infiltration as a drawback,
but thought, like John Joyner, that the benefits
would compensate the encumbrances.

selves'out. Then we will have to start
at the bottom of the proverbial pile
and go up.
We should start first in the home,
the birth place of every nation. We
should try to get more understanding
in the home. You can look in just
about any newspaper today and find
where so and so divorced so and so.
Do you know why these people sep-
arate? The main reason is because
they can't get along with each other.
Just think, two people?just two
people?can't get along. How can
everyone get along if just two people
an't?
There is one thing about it, though.
If you want to get along in the home,
you have to know how to get along
in the church, because the church and
the home are inseparable. If it wasn't
for the home there would be no
church and if it wasn't for the church
there would be no home. To honestly
Lelieve in the home, you must be-
lieve in the church. Now we are
getting down to the actual way to
Ihave peace.
To believe in the church, you must
iibelieve in Christ, the "Prince of
Peace And to believe in Christ, you
must believe in God, His Father. If
Christ is the Prince of Peace, then
God, His Father, must be the "King
of Peace
So from the home we go to the
church, because the church is made
from the families in the homes. And
from the church we go to the com-
munity, for which the church is the
main part. From the communities we
go to the towns and cities, Froin the
towns and cities we go to the .ounties
and states, for which they go to make
up. From the counties and states we
go to a nation, and from there we
go to other nations.
If a person believes in all of this
he would really believe in peace, and
if a person believes in something
strong enough, it is his nature to
try to achieve it.

"T ?! pt my way through college
said Nebraska college graduate A. W.
Turnbow, who received his degree
last June.
This startling statement came as a
complete surprise to ex-student Turn-
bow's professors who had once pre-
dicted his college career would end
in failure.
Last week graduate Turnbow dis-
clos d hi secret. He had been 'Meep-

"I'd read many articles on the
itheory of sleep-learning he said.
j"but none told me how to go about it.
jSo I made my own sleep-learning
device ard experimented. I was work-
ing full time and trying to carry 19
credit hours at college. I was told I
was failing, so I figured I couldn't
lose anything
Time has proven that he didn't lose
anything. According to Mr. Turnbow,
now president of Sleep-Learning Re-
search Association, 114 S. 38th Ave
Omaha, he owes his college degree to
his pioneer experiments.
it wasr hard the first few weeks
,he said, "but anyone can learn while
ithey sleep if they stick to it. It's the
'easiest way in the world to get an
'education once you start getting re-
sults. Sleep-learning will revolution-
ize education once the public accepts
it he added.
Studerat Turnbow's unusual method
of obtaining knowledge was first ap-
Iplied to his course in Russian. "I
read 2,000 Russian vocabulary words
jinto the machine, then gave the Eng-
lish meaning to each he reported.
Results were so successful that I
started reading notes from all my
courses into the device.

j den to. laughed when I told them
about 'sleep-learning he remarked.
"But when I started tossing around
five syllable vocabulary words, for-
mulas, dates and complete passages
from Shakespeare, they changed their
attitude
After writing several articles on
his sleep-learning results, Mr. Turn-
bow continued his experiments. Im-
mediately upon graduation, he formed
Sleep-Learning Research Association
in Omaha, Nebraska. Last week with
the publication of his illustrated book-
let "Learn A Langnage?While You

his secret. The booklet tells his com-
plete story and how to make his
'sleep-luarning device for as little as

Bobby Hodges sets a new North btate Conference scoring record in the first period of the East Carolina-

established last year by Ronald Rogers of Western Carolina.

find themselves.
The Bucs stormed back to tie th
?on on a hook shot by Charlie Huff-
man just as the third period ended.
i, the third period also, substitute
P ml Jones came off the bench to pro-
vide the victory spark. Jones dumped
in three crucial baskets in the third
period and also turned in an out-
;tending defensive game. Cecil Heath,
the Pirates All-Conference guard, de-
lighted the fans with his looping set
hots and drib'ling displays.
But the big show of the night as
.ar as the fans were concerned was
nit on by Ronald Ragan of the Blue
Stockings. Ragan played what was
p rhaps the most polished game of
the year in Memorial Gym as he col-
lected 27 points with a wide variety
of shots. The Pirate cheering section
gave the lanky forward a standing
ovation when he fouled out late in
the contest.
The Presbyterian offense, which ap-
peared to be patterned after that of
N. C. State's fabulous Wolfpack, kept
t!i Pirates off balance througout the
majority of the game with its flashy
ball handling but the Buccaneers out-
lasted the speedy South Carolinians
'n the final session. Bohhy Hodges
took top scormg honors for the local's
with 25 points and in so doing
established a new four-year North
State Conference scoring mark. The
old record of 1,960 points was set
last year by Western Carolina's All
American, Ronald Rogers.
The 22 points collected by Hodges
against Krskine gives him a total of
1,998 with at least one contest re-
maining to be played at the National
a s in Kansas City this week.
Wednesday's Games
The championship contest between
Erskine and Fas Carolina never, af-
t( r the opening moments, lived up to
its pre-game billing. The Bucs, click-
ing with their best team play, pulled
, ay from South Carolina's Little
Four champs with surprising ease.
Pn riously, Fr-kine hail lost only
vice in 25 outings but W dnesday
? n't tbeii night.
East Carolina opened the scoring
with three quick baskets but the Fly-
ing Feet ralli d to tie the count at
8-8. The Bucs pulled into a 20-13 first
quarter lead and lengthen d the mar-
gin to 40-31 at the half.
Senior Forward Charlie Huffman,
like Hodges playing hi-s last home
gam ?, got hot in the final quarter to
take runner-up scoring n- ,nors for
the Pirates with 17 points.
Don Harris, freshman forward,
tallied 15 points and played his usual
good game of rebounding.
Presbyterian Wins
But the best game by far was the
preliminary consolation event ' e-
tween Presbyterian and Lenoir Rhyne.
The Bears took the lead at 16-14 at
the quarter and stretched it to ten
points, 45-35 at half. The Blue Stock-
ings came thundering back after in-
termission however, to cut the Bears
margin to 52-47 and then tied the
count at 77-77 at the end of the re-
gulation cont st.
In the overtime period the score
was tied ?it 81-81 with 1:35 left when
Dave Thompson of the Blue Stock-
ing, got the ball. Thompson idly
dribbled back and fourth in front of
the L'noir Rhyne defenders until
barely three seconds remained in the
contest. Then he drove for the basket
and his lay-up shot fell through just
as the buzzer sounded.
Ronald Ragan again took the scor-
ing honors with 26 points. These plus
the opening night's 27 gave him the

OF TASTE
When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy-
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.
Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S.M.F.T.?Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac-
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.
So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,

EAST CAROLINIAN
MONDAT, MARCH 8
Sauter-Finegan Dance Band
Appears Here March 15
No men have done more to influ-
ence modern American dance music
than lanky, bespectacled Ed SauteT
and Bill Finegan. Rated among the
top five arrangers in the country,
for over a decade they wrote the
great scores played by the Benny
Goodman, Glenn Miller, lommy Dor-
sey, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman,
Ray McKinlejr and other outstanding
bands.
Now they have their own orchestra,
the Sauter-Finegan Band, which will
appear en campus Monday, March 15,
at 8 pjn. in Wright auditorium.
The orchestra will play for the
Entertainment Series dance and con-
oa-t. The concert begins at 8 p.m. and
the dance at 9:30, lasting until 11:45
p.m. The event will be semi-formal.
Students and owners of season tickets
of the Entertainment Series will be
admitted. Students may bring in
guests at a nominal charge.
The new maestri, who have already
won considerable acclaim for their
RCA Victor rcordings, have definite
ideas about what their joint venture
should and will offer. As they explain
it, "The music of our new band can
best be summed up in two words?
color and mood. Everything we write
will attempt to create a certain mood
that is consistent with the composi-
tion and a certain color that blends
in with the mood. All of this, with
a strong beat, will give the public
what we think is good dance music.
"We want our music to be witty,
humorous, conversational. We don't
want to write anything that will be
too heavy. Everything will be guided
by mood, and we feel that there is a
mood for every purpose, gay or ser-
ious. Moods fluctuate, consequently
we expect to have enough variety in
our book to meet any situation

own words, "We are not starting out
with any preconceived notion of style.
Whatever style or identity the band
has will grow out of our writing. We
have actually included a percussion
section (aside from the drummer) in
our band because we feel that percus-
sion sounds are needed to add color
and thus broaden the musical spec-
trum of our arrangements.
"To achieve this we use the xylo-
phone, orchestra bells, triangle,
chimes, celeste and tympani?and not
just on recordings, either. Our band
will sound the same both On records
and in person. We want the people
to feel they are getting their money's
worth in a theatre or ballroom, if
they come to see us after they've
heard our records

American Verse
Lecture Topic
Of Noted Poet
Dr. Gordden Link of Washington,
D. C, poet, speaking recently here,
traced developments in American
poetry from 1899 until today. Begin-
ning with the publication of Edwin
Markham's "The Man with the Hoe
he summarized the salient character-
istics and the contributions of each
decade from the turn of the century
to the present.
Dr. Link, author of the recent
volume "Three Poems for Now was
here on a two-day visit. While at the
college, he led discussions in various
classes and conducted a workshop on
creative writing for students and
others. His visit was sponsored by
the Faculty Lecture Club.
Pointing to changes which he
elieves are now observable in the
content, spirit, and technique of mod-
ern American poetry, he stressed a
now emphasis on poetry dealing with
the theme of peace; a shift from the
"blooding philosophical" to the lyric
approach; a new attention to metri-
cal, as opposed to free verse, and a
keen interest on the part of many
poets in problems of social signific-
ance.
Dr. Link's poetry has been publish-
d in periodicals in thus country for
many years and has been included in
a number of anthologies. He is the
author, with others, of "Christ in the
Breadline a volume commended for
the excellence of its religious verse.
In 1948 the poetry Society of America
presented him with the Lola Ridge
Award for poetry of Social Signific-
ance. His recent volume deals with
problems of the Atomic Age.
Dr. and Mrs. Hubert Coleman of
East Carolina entertained in honor of
Dr. Link at an informal reception in
the Y Hut on the campus Wednesday
