College Installs New System
xams This Quarter;
SGA Gives Confidence Vote
�v
Basic Changes:
Double Periods,
Lasts Three Days
Body Pledges
Full Cooperation,
Adds Suggestion
Concerning the new final exami-
nation system a vote of confidence
was given to the faculty and admin-
istration in a resolution passed by
the Student Legislature Wednesday
nipht.
Included in the resolution was that
the SGA express full cooperation in
the new exam program. Howover, the
I egislature "respectfully requested"
the faculty and the administration to
r consider the plan miade by the Stu-
dent committee.
The resolution, iMtroduced by Louis
Clark, received long discussion by the
body.
Th ! plan of the student committte,
which was voted down by the faculty,
differed basically from the plan to
he installed as to giving one period
exams instead of two. The committee's
I an was in favor of the two day
i- am period, alternating the even and
odd class periods. However, they plan-
n d one period exams with regular
class meetings when exams were not
scheduled. (See story on this page
of the plan to be installed this quart-
er.)
Working on the student committee
were ("lark. Bob Neilsen, Wade Cooper
and Don King.
Other matters were considered at
Wednesday nijrht'� meeting. One was
a committee elected to investigat
scholarships for Korean students.
Serving on bhis committee are Milton
FoleyFred Joseph, and Gerald Ad-
cock.
Historian Don King reported the
clubs and organizations that had
turned in their accounts of the year's
activity. A committee was elected to
investigate these reports and to make
r commendations for the "Outstand-
ing Chu Award On the committee
are Fred Joseph, Tommie Lupton and
Jane Kanoy.
Adcock, reported that the Library
xrience Club is working to curb noise
in the library. Signs will be placed as
r. minders.
Clark, student chairman of the
teacher . evaluation committee, re-
port d that about 75 per cent of the
faculty has sent in totals of their
ratings. Final tabulations will be
mil do next week, he added.

Jenkins Outlines Religious Education Plan
Dean Leo W. Jenkins outlined for
members of the college facultj ?ljn-
day afternoon the purposes and ob-
jectives of the Teacher Education and
Religion Project, for carrying on
whlich East Carolina has been chosen
as one of 15 pilot centers in the na-
tion.
The project is sponsored by the
American Association of Colleges for
Teacher Education. "We are hon-
ored Dean Jenkins stated, "in being
chosen as the only pilot center in
the North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia area
The project was developed by a
sub-committee of the Studies and
Standards Committee of the AACTE.
This sub-committee has proposed a
program calculated to give greater
emphasis to religion as an aspect of
education in the preparation of
teachers in all member institutions
of the AACTE. The study has been
made possible by a $60,000 grant
from the William H. Danforth Foun-
dation.
The heart of the project as stated
Ly the sub-committee, Dean Jenkins
explained, "is to discover ant develop
ways and means to teach the recip-
rocal relation between religion and
other elements in human culture in
order that the prospective teacher,
whether he teaches literature, history,
the arts, science, or other subjects,
be prepared to understand, to appre-
ciate, and to convey to his students
the significance of religrion in human
aiffairs
The primary aim of the study, he
continued, is "to deal directly and
objectively with religion whenever
and wherever it is intrinsic to learn-
ing experience in the various fields
of study
'Vlt should be made clear he
added, "that, in no sense, is it the
aim of the study to stimulate indi-
vidual commitment or to encourage
students to explore the resources of
religion as a basis for durable con-
victions. It is the view of the com-
mittee that the emphasis on teaching
about religion offers the most imme-
diate opportundty for developing pro-
grams which are both appropriate
to the responsibilities of colleges
preparing teachers and consonant
with legal and practical limitations
upon the college
Gomanenting further on the reasons
why the project is being carried on,
Dean Jenkins said that "teachers
should be provided with special help
and information to equip them to
teach objectively in the area of reli-
gion
The basic responsibility of the
schools, he continued, quoting from
a report of the American Council on
Education, is "to give the young an
understanding of the culture and an
appreciation of the ideals, values,
and institution� which the culture
cherishes. . . .
"The failure to play a part in
acquainting the young with the role
af religion in the culture while at
the same time accepting such respon-
sibility with reference to other phases
of the culture, is to be unneutral�
to weight the scales against any con-
cern with religion
In such pilot centers as East Caro-
lina, he said, the project will continue
over a five-year period. Already at
the college here, he stated, several
projects relating to instruction in
the humanities, art, social studies,
science and music are in the planning
stage.
Students who desire to be
guides for High School Day Fri-
day, April 1), should contact Char-
lie Kluttz, tfuide chairman. Class-
es will be excused for nuide.
Dr. Ed J. Carter, coordinator
Of the annual program for high
school seniors and director of
field service) asks students here
to check with his office to see
if their high school has regis-
tered for the event. "Students
should urge their school to come
to the event Dr. Carter said.

What's Your Name?
A "Phantom" letter was receiv-
ed this week by the "East Caro-
linian The editor feels that it
was a very clear and well written
letter and hopes that its author
will identify himself either by
mail or personal contact in order
to consider his letter for publi-
cation.
As a policy of this newspaper
letters to be considered for pub-
lication must be signed. If the
author of the mystery letter de-
sires his name to be withheld,
the paper will do so. However,
the "East Carolinian" must know
the name of the author.

will allow three days to take exams
in two hour periods.
This new procedure does not mean

Jenkins, academic dean, said. If the
new experimental system is found
i I uitable, more system will be tried

know which ia t.he be system until
we try he added.
At a meeting of the faculty and
administrators this week plans of
procedure were drawn for the new
examination system.
Final exams for this quarter will

Tive rimes a week will be included
in the double period schedule fT

Doable period examinations does
not mean necessarily that more ma-
terial will be included, according to
Dr. Jenkins. If an instructor plans
to give a long exam, he would do so
under the one hour system as well,
either in one or two periods, he ex-
plained.

CIRCULATION
Exchange Editor - Mrs. Susie Webb
First Traffic Fatality: You?
One of these days someone, student, faculty
mber or visitor, it doesn't matter, is going to
5S one of cur campus streets and a split-
sec nd later is going to become East Carolina's
� � if fie fatality.
i ;un. after everyone has talked it all over
rices have been sent, maybe those
ill ge busy to prevent other deaths
ild have prevented the first one.
Now this may be a gruesome approach to
we feel is a gruesome situation but the fact
ns that speeding on this campus is already
one of our most serious problems.
In the past 12 months a fabulous sum has
een spent on the buildings and grounds here,
ugh we understand that one authori-
se has recommended it, not one cent
. -pent for a "right-of-way" sign at the
intersect n in front of the post office steps. The
ed limit on this campus is, as it should be, 15
miles i" r hour, yet we would bet our only Sunday
.it that not one car in ten observes it.
Of course, maybe the easiest way to solve
oblem would be to have someone get killed
. A good, bloody example always serves the
irpcse better than a hundred editorials.
As more and more students crowd them-
Ives into the back campus the situation will
more and more acute until something
ks. We hope it isn't somebody's head.
But what can be done about this problem
I upon whom should the blame fall?
The problem can be eliminated but it's going
take action by either the Student Government
or the Administration to solve it. We know that
SGA President Mitchell Saieed has been inform-
ed of the situation, but so far we have seen no
results.
As a solution to this problem we offer the
following recommendations:
(1) Post the proper speed limit and EN-
FORCE IT.
(2) Erect "stop" or "right-of-way" signs at
ints where they are needed; i.e the inter-
ims at the post office steps and in between
Graham and Flanagan buildings.
If these two things are done we believe the
campus problem will be solved but here another
r shows itself, that being that all the respon-
ity cannot be placed upon student drivers
More of the difficulty is being caused by drivers
from outside the campus.
These persons must be made to realize that
the back campus circle is not the Indianapolis
Speedway.
The case has been stated. Now the only
question is will something be done to avoid the
first fatality? Pardon our pessimism if we say
� e hope so but we're afraid not.�RPH

Ye Editor s
Say
by T. Parker Maddrey
What a crazy mixed up little world
we live in!
Adam and Eve lived in the ideal
society for awhile. They didn't have to
worry about keeping1 in the latest
style of draws because there wasn't
any dress, And they didn't have to
la! or for their food. There was plenty
around them. Then the whole plan of
this coveted Living was abrupted.
Well, you know the rest o'f that story.
It was Eve's euros-it y. She was un-
able to be content with things as
they wire.
Today those same characteristics
are found in people in all societies.
Those qualities were essential in
developing this complex world of ours.
M it wasn't for curosity and discont-
ent, America would never have been
discovered, nor would there have been
the inventions of the automobile, air-
piano, radio and television.
It is through those qualities that ed-
ucation and more education was deem-
ed necessary. To uncover new un-
knowns and to provide more living
comfort are the motives.
All this seems to boil down to
the fact that we are constantly want-
ing to make living as easy and as
enjoyable as Adam and Eve did. But
it will never be as simple. Whereas
Adam would pluck a peach from a
tree, we would have to ope our free-
zer locker, take out a square pack-
age and wait for a couple of hours
in order to thaw it. Later there would
be dishes to wash just for a mouth-
ful o�f peaches. Whereas we fumbble
and fidget over a television set to
watch a wrestling match, Adam and
Eve were content in watching the
wild animals fight which was in color.
Sdienists and educators will con-
tinue to plod into the unknown and
come up with some more little gad-
lt fcs -hat will make living a little more
easy and enjoyable, but the push-
buttons will never replace the para-
dise of Adam and Eve. The push-
buttons are too complicated.
What a crazy mixed up little world!
Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina

Other Ways To Poison Stomach
The tragedy that was narrowly averted when
seven food poisoning victims reported promptly
to the infirmary last Tuesday night probably
opened the eyes of East Carolina students to the
dangers of contaminated food. We wonder, how-
ever, if many students are not poisoning them-
selvea as surely, if more slowly, by poor eating
habits.
A disturbingly large number of students fail
to eat breakfast, the meal many nutritionists
consider most important of the day. But, when
we have been up until midnight and later the
night before, breakfast pales to insignificance
beside that last hour of blissful sleep. We stagger
up 15, 10, or five minutes before class and make
it just in time to answer the roll and settle down
to finish our nap.
Most of us fail to realize that such habits
harm our efficiency, our appearance, our health
and our joy in living. About five hours is re-
quired for a meal to digest. By employing a little
higher mathematics, we can see that from a 6
o'clock dinner until a 12 o'clock lunch the follow-
ing day leaves 18 hours. Subtract five required
for the dinner to digest and 13 remain for the
gastric juice of the stomach to start digesting
the stomach itself and start a few of those ulcers.
Infirmary officials report several cases of
fainting each quarter because some students fail
to eat breakfast. Let's give ourselves a break and

Couple Of The Week
by Erolyn Blount
The tennis courts seem to be a
popular meeting place for our campus
couples. This week's romance began
whe J. W. Browning, a junior from
Enfield, and Maybell Bryant, a senior
from Conway, met one afternoon last
spring at the tennis courts. Says J.
W "I thought Maybell was cute, but
I was too bashful to ask her for a
date
They had their first date for the
Ralph Flanagan Dance arid on June
S, L953, they started going steady.
Says Maybell, "Our most embar-
rassing moment came one Sunday
last summer. J. W. had gone home
for the weekend and had brought his
sister, another girl and some more
people back with him. He was sup-
posed to be dating this girl, but I
didn't know it. I saw the whole
group standing there, so I went out
and gtarted talking to them. I asked
J. W. if he had missed me and was
chattering away, not realizing the
situation. J. W. went over to the car,
said something to the girl and then
came back and walked me to the
dorm. By then, I had realized some-
thing was up and was I embar-
rassed and mad! We didn't speak to
each other for three days
Says J. W "Never again. Things
are okay now and they're going1 to
stay that way
After finishing college, J. W who
is majoring in P.E plane to teach
health and English and coach on the
side.
Maybell, who is majoring in busi-
ness, plans to teach shorthand and
typing.
(Editor's Note: This week's couple
will each receive a -carton of Ches-
trfields, a ticket to the Pitt Theatre,
a gift from Sas4ow's Jewelers, a
meal at the Okie Towne Inn and
the girl will receive an item from
the Glamor Shop.)
Tackle Participates In Many Campus Activities

A familiar figure on campus and
an outstanding athlete is Johnnie

"Mac" by his friends.
Majoring in physical education
Johnnie has participated in many
sports, but excels in football where
he plays the position of tackle. "Not

Christian College of Wilson in 1951.
There he played football and baseball
on a scholarship, and was a member
of the Sigma AAp'ha Fraternity.

at East Carolina, and is a member
of the Varsity Club. He has done a

Johnnie is also a member of the
YMCA.
Maintains Good Average
Along with these extra-curricular
ictiv;fries, Johnnie has also kept a
"two" average during his three years
at Eftst Carolina.
Last quarter Johnnie did hi3 stu-
dent teaching at Winterville and has
this to say, "I taught heakth to girls
and really had a fine class, (wow)!
I thought I was doing pretty good

Times Change, But JP Eager For New EC Life
During the winter quarter of 1935
William Cobb left what was then
East Carolina Teachers College for
what was to be a rather long Christ-
mas vacation. This quarter he resumed
his education where tie left off.
The college he returned to was no
longer ECTC but had become simply
East Carolina College. The name of
the college was not the only thing
that had changed in the intervening
19 years. Cobb himself held several
jobs, married, bought a farm and
for the last 15 year has been a rail-
road man in Pitt County.
Being a Justice of the Peace Cobb
is equipped to perform marriage cer-
emonies right here on the campus.
Cobb was rather surprised to meet
one of his former ECTC school mates
on registration day still here at school,
Dr M. J. White of the psychology
department. He says that he finds it
rather odd to be taking psychology
103 under his old school mate.
How did he happen to decide to
come back to school? "Well Cobb
says, "I had been thanking about it
and talking about coming back to
finish for years "Not long ago I

ing attended ECTC and how near I
was to finishing 'Why don't you
come on back and finish now?' he
said. "Since I'm not working on the

time on my hands�here I am. I
can tend to the farm in the after-
noons after classes
So here he is back in ECC with
five quarters to go before receiving
a B. S. degree in grammer grade ed-
ucation. In 19 years Cobb has lost
only three credits, These on an ed-

ucation course which has been com-
bined with practice teaching.
How has the campus changed in
almost twenty years? Quite a lot,
gays Cobb. More people and new
buildings are the most obvious chages.
All of the buildings of back campus
except Graham and the dining hall
have heen added since 1935, he says.
"But the thing that I really miss
most remarks Cobb "is the deer
that was kept in a pen out behind
Jarvis Hall. That deer used to have
horns and then one night those horna
disappeared and we never did know
what became of them. Then they put

I expect I'll miss the water melon
cutting too, he reminisces. In hot
weather they used to bring in truck-
loads of ripe water melons and every-
one, Faculty, studnts and administrat-
ion would gather on the back campus
and eat water melon
Procedures have changed too,
according to Cobb. "We went tc school
six days a week and met classes
every other day. That meant that we
had to have three quarters of work
to get the same credit that you get
in two. I like the preaopt system much
better he said reflectively.
Chapel was compulsary, he said, 15
minutes a day, five days of every
week. "I can't remember which day
we didn't have it Cobb remarked,

finds subjects more difficult now or
not. "Emplvasis has changed he

Smart Hens Get College Names
by Pat
Dr. John Decatur Messick was
recently honored when Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert Jones of Snow Hill
named tiheir prize hen "Dr. De-
caturinemessick This particular
hen laid two eggs in less than
an hour and the Jones' felt that
such a feat entitled the hen to the
name of a "smart person
Dr. Messick decided that since
the energetic animal was a hen
and he a rooster that "Decatur-
ine would be a btter name for a
female. Therefore, the "presi-
dent" of the hens received her
name.
However, the other hens also
needed names. Therefore the
Joneses inquired of their daught-
er, Linda, who is a sophomore
Humphrey
at ECC, if any of her friends
wanted to have a hen named for
them. Not only were Linda's
Trends cooperative, but also some
members of the faculty agreed to
lave a hen named for them.
The following hens are among
those who have a private cage
at the Jones' farm: Jeanbrake,
Jeanke,mp, Lindaleepones, Har-
rietward, Gayleflanagan, Har-
veydavis, Carol ynjohn son, Mac-
eure, Sallysedgwick, Chiarlesde-
shaw, Nellstallings, Kathyshaw,
Nephlijorgensen, PappytoU, and
Ruthgarner.
These hens eat, roose, and lay
contentedly, and have no idea of
the famous names they hold.
Travel Offers Class Credit
by Jerry
iAire you the kind of person who
likes to travel? Do you like to be
going somewhere all the timeIf you
can answer "yes" to these questions,
then you are tfhe one for this offer.
This summer, Dr. Ed Carter will
offer a tour of the United States
for seniors, post-graduates, and
teachers. This will be an 8,000 mile
tour, going from East to West.
The instructor for this trip will be
Dr. Carter, with his wife acting as
director. The tour will take 30 days,
and will give nine quarter hours
credit as a senior or post-graduate
elective.
The fee has been figured at a little
less than two centg per mile. The
rate will be approximately $400 per
person. This includes transportation
tuition, hotel accommodations and
tips for the baggage. This does not
include food.
The tour will get underway on
Register
July 15, and will end on August 15.
The people going will ride in a char-
tered air-con iitioned bus. All you
have to do is sit back, relax, and you
are off.
Some of the main points of interest
of the tour will be Atlanta, Birming-
ham, Dallas, El Paso, Juarez, the
Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Los An-
geles, Sesuoia National Park, San
Franciiico, Reno, Salt Lake City, Col-
orado Springs, Kansas City, St. Louis,
the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, and finally beck to Greenville.
The tour will also make side trips
to other points of interest.
Anyone in college may take this
tour, but only senions, post-graduates
and teachers will get credit for the
course.
The facilities for the trip will be
provided by the Circle Tour Com-

Thought
by Don King, Ed Mathewa
"Buk" Younjr
In the elections held last week,
about 1,400 students voted. This was
the largest number of students tnat
have ever participated in a campus
election here. Perhaps this was be-
cause the students were interested in
the issues involved or the candidates
running, or perhaps it was because
they felt they should assume their
responsibility as citizens. Whatever
the reason or reasons, we can be
proud of the results.
The students, in our opinion, have
selected a good slate of officers�
ones in which they can trust, and
work for and with. We like to think
that the officers were selected not as
people or popular personalities, but
rather that they received the most
votes because of the things they stood
for and the attitude they took to-
wards the students and the college.
Our Student Government Associa-
tion this year has been the most
progressive and powerful the school
has ever had. We may not have
agreed with every individual action
that was taken, but we certainly can
not comiplain about the overall policy
of the Saieed administration.
We feel that next year's Student
Government Association under the
leadership of Wade Cooper will con-
tinue to be an organization of which
the students can be proud. Further-
more, it appears that Mr. Cooper
will, according to his platform and
campaign apeech, try to make the
student's voice more powerful in the
school and the city of Greenville. If
this is true, then we would like for
Mr. Cooper to know that we are
behind him one hundred percent.
However, to make any college ad-
ministration efficient it is necessary
for the students to make their wishes
known and then to actively back the
Student Government all the way in
carrying out the desired policy.
We hope that the large turnout
on voting day wag a good sign which
showed that the students are ready
for the next step-up in self-govern-
ment.

Saturday Classes
by r,ye CfNud
During the recent campaign for offices in
the Student Government Association, a ca:
won applause from his audience by speaking, in-
directly, in favor of the five-day school week
which we have had at East Carolina during I
past three years. According to information ob-
tained from Dean Leo W. Jenkins, there has I
no official decision made, or even any thou.
taken as to changing the system of opera
here. Jenkins did say that such an alteration can
be made easily within a short period, but he
ed that next year's catalogues have already I
made up which eliminates the possibility of im-
mediate action. Yet all over the campus the rur:
that a change is to be made, either to a six-
week or to a semester system, seems to be gain-
ing momentum.
When a school operates on a six day week,
the majority of classes meet only three times
week; also most classes will carry only three
hours credit. Thus a student enrolls in more
courses to carry 17 hours than he does under our
present organization with a five-day week dur
which the majority of classes meet every day.
Dean Jenkins revealed that the change fr
a six-day to a five-day week at East Can
several years ago was made to aid students who
are compelled to work to be able to stay in sch
The free Saturdays naturally provide more work-
ing time.
How the students and faculty here feel al
changing to a different system is revealed pr.
concisely as unfavorable.
Roy Askew, a sophomore, is definitely
against anything but a five-day school week and
a free weekend. Says Askew, Everyone real
that we come to school to get an education. Social
and recreational life are an important part of
education: therefore, we need Saturdavs f
for getting together with our friends Askew
also likes to have a day now and then to catch
up with his school work, and free Saturdavs are
almost essential for that, too.
A senior. Louis Clark, does not think the
extra day that students have to spend on their
work with a six-day school week is anv justifi-
cation for that system. "We have plenty of time
to get up our work says Clark. "If you have
two nights to do your work, vou just g
off the first night anyway he adds.
Dr. Martha Pingel of the English depart-
ment condemns any suggestion of changing the
system. "The only time I have ever caught up on
my work in my life has been since we went on
a five-day week she declares. She taught at
East Carolina before we had our present system
and notes through close observation that she has
never had heavy cutting in her Friday afternoon
classes whereas she often had too few in attend-
ance on Saturdays to even justify holding session.
Mrs. Ellen Fleming has taught math here
for several years and has had experience with
i �J dfferent types of organization. She is
undecided as to her preference, but does believe
chat class meetings every day are helpful to a
student in mathematics. Favoring the six-day
week, on the other hand, she says she thinks many
students take five days to do what they try to
crowd into four too often in our present set-up.
Thirtiaaed from Column 1)
go to breakfast.
There is the steady diet of cream puffs and
carbonated water that keeps so many hard-work-
ing, hard-driving college students alive for four
years. Perhaps this same diet sends them to their
graves a few years early, too.
Food in the college cafeteria may not taste
like mother s, but then mother doesn't cook for
l,U00 students or more each day with 1,000 or
more different tastes. A few misguided souls
even confess to finding it quite tasty. It may be
true, as a few argue, that cafeteria meals are
somewhat expensive. Even here some take the
opposite view. Nevertheless, all must admit that
cafeteria meals are nutritious and, best of all
cafeteria meals are generally safe.�LBC

Tennis at East Carlina College has
come a long way since its organization
in 1938. Up until 1938, there was little
interest in tennis, probably because
of East Carolina's limitd facilities in
the sport. She Athletic Department
sponsored various Intramural tourna-
ments and a loosely organized wo-
men's team was formed, but, besides
this, little interest was shown in the
organization of a men's Varsity
tenni team.
Dr. H. C Haynes, a faculty member,
saw the need for a net squad and
organized a team in 1938. Much cre-
dit .should be given to Dr. Haynes,
for he had to take the team and org-
anize it in its baby stages. The team
started intercoll �. giate competion the
lame year against such teams as
William and Mary, High Point, Camp-
bell, jind Ait 1 antic Christian. Leaders
of the n tan en were Leo Burks and
Doug Glover. These racquet-swinging
rvetters each won eight and lost only
one to pace the newly-formed team.
The team as a whole won five and
four that year.
Too Few Courts
In 1940 there was a problem of
havng courts to play on just as in
the previous year. There were suppos-
ed to ' e six courts on the campus,
but only two of those were playable.
The otihers were dilapidated and need-
ed repairing vitally. There were many
request for new courts, but college
heads turned a stone-deaf ear to all
pleadings; of this natur0. The team
played only seven matches this year
due to the lack of facilities and many
of the contests were rained out. Doug
Glover again led the aggregation. He
was aided by Leon Meadows, a fresh-
man and a specialist of the asphalt
rt. The squad won three and lost
four in 1940.
In 1941 Dr. Haynes began the sea-
son by assisting the players indiv-
idually, but as the season passed, he
agr ed to coach the team as a whole
om-i again. His decision was a wise
one and his 'help proved to -be a large
factor in the establishment of a tennis
j team at the college. Thus year's squad

six and lost two during the season
while Burks won five and lost three
for runner-up honors. The team had
a 5-4 record during 1941 including
wins over William and Mary and
High Point and losses to such op-
ponents as Boston University and
PreM ytenian Junior College. During
the year there was also a promise
of nw courts for the following season.
Promise Fulfilled
In 1942 the prevous promise tfor
n w courts was fulfilled by the Athl-
etic Department. Eight new tennis
courts were supplied. The team had
been hit hard by graduation the year
before, but the faithful support of
Dr. Haynes was a large factor in the
organization of another net squad.
The racqueteers of this year were
raiqher weak as a unit compared to
the team of the previous season. They
won only two games that year, but
the determination and effort displayed
by the squad was very commendable.
Doug Jones and Keith Hudson led
tihe 1942 edition of netmen, who
played such formidable squads as
North Carolina State, Wake Forest,
William and Mary, and the Citadel.
There were no tennis teams at East
Carolina College from the year 1943
until 1947. This was probably due to
the fact tiat there were few men at
the college during that time. Primari-
ly, most of the students were women
until the year of 1946, when there
was an increased enrollment of male
students due to the end of World
War If.
Post-War Teams
The next organization of a tennis
team at East Carolina College was
in the year of 194r. . us was under
?
who, although confronted with a
schedule of only three games, was
very instrumental in the formation
of another strong team. The schedule
was limited because of rained-out
contests and matches that were not
completed because of not enough
courts to facilitate the demands be-
fore darkness approached. The team
opened the season by defeating Guil-
ford, 7-2. Their next match proved
to be one of the largest tennis tri-
umphs of the college's tennis history.

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.MJ.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,
Be Happy-Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.

team. The college was admitted into
the North State Conference and the
tennis team enjoyed one of its most
.successful seasons by compiling a
5-2 record. The powerful racquet
swingers from Greenville conquered
Wake Forest on the letter's home
courts y a score of 5-2. They lost
to a strong University of Richmond
team, 6-3, and also fell in defeat a
i the hands of their old rivals, High
I Point. The team was again led by
Wayne Harrison and Xeith Hudson,
who were well-experienced veterans
by this year. Tihe team entered the
North State conference tournament
also, but were not successful because
of High Point's superior forces. Ten-
nis reached a new high during the
1948 season and everyone at the
college were very proud of their
splendid squad.
Lettermen Return
The inauguration of the 1949 ten-
nis season was featured by the return
of lettermen Keith Hudson and
Wayne Harrison. Hudson was number
one man that year. Bob Williams and
John Heath also were vital parts
eif the 1949 squad. Much-improved
Williams was number three man that
year and he also served as student
assistant coach. Williams combined
witn Harrison and Hudison to formu-
late a strong nucleus. The team had
another succassful year by winning
over such teams as Lenoir Rhyne and
Elon and losing to such top inter-
collegiate powers as Michigan State
and the University of Richmond. Al-
though losses were sustained at the
hands of all the intersectional teams,
the scheduling of these teams stimu-
lated much interest in the sport.
Ihere was still some evidence of lack
i" interest and support, among those
interested in tennis at the college.
In 1950 Coarih Howard Porter as-
med coaching duties as head coach
of tennis at East Carolina. Porter
was immediately confronted with a
problem of ample replacements be-
oause of the losses due to previous
ear graduations. There was a sched-
ule of igr.t games including such
cims as North Carolina State, Wake
Forest, High Point and Elon. The
b am k) it all eight games because of
tack df material. The valiant Pirat-s
went into every match with a des-
oate determination to win, but their
lack of experience caused them to be
: apele sly outclassed. There was also
a problem of inadequate playing area
and the squad was forced to use the
Wright gym floor for practice. Dick
Palmer and Art Holland were the
leaders of that year's squad. Al-
though the record did not show it,
tennis at East Carolina College was
in the road to improvement and the
experience gained by this year's
ni in.bena combined witih the new
freshman talent that they were to
receive the following year compelled
veryone on the squad to look for-
ward to the oncoming season with
ie anticipation of new accomplish-
in nts.
13 Candidates
As the 1951 season rolled around,
Coach Porter greeted 13 new candi-
dates for tryouts. Among thse were
the only returning lettermen�Palmer
and Willams. Joe Hallow and Paul
Cameron head d the list of freshmen
varsity hopefuls. Hallow, from Golds-
boro, was tihe winner of the state
doubles title and Cameron was run-
n rup in the men's city tournament
in Kin ton. B"th were regarded highly
and expected to turn in excellent
work. Bob Williams again served as
i ad mt assistant coach. Coach Por-
ter's net squad had a 4-2 record in
the North State Conference, a very
crwrnmendable improvement over last
year's record. They lost two matches
�jo the University of North Carolina
by scores of 8-1 and 9-0. Interest in
the sport was rising and the results
were gradually showing. The problem
of not having enough courts for the
citud nts and the varsiiity was still
prevalent as it is at the present.
The 1952 season was featured by
the scheduling of three rugged inter-
sectionai foes. The Pirates defeated
Rutgers, 8-1, in the highlight of the
season. Thtey lost to the other two
mtersedtional opponents, Albright and
William and Mary. Their record foT
the 1952 season was seven won and
begun practice for the 1954 net sea-
son. Howard Porter, head basketball
mentor, has decideu to coach the
squad. Earl Smit was supposed to
coach the team, but will be unable to
do so as he is coaching the Iwtseball
team in the absence of Jim Mallory,
head baseball coach.
The racquet swinging Pirates have
been slowed down in their practise
somewhat because of erratic and
threatening weather. Returning vet-
erans who have acquired vitally need-
ed experience are: Paul Cameron, Boh
Williamis, Frazier Bruton, J. W.
Browning and Dal Foscue. These
racqueteers, who have had previous
four lost. They again finished second
to High Point, which still had a
w 11-balanced team consisting of the
two Mexican stars. Hallow, Cameron
and Jones carried the brunt of the
attack, while suoh freshmen as Jim-
my Richardson, Amos Stroud and
Frazier Bruton established themselves
as vital and indispensable netters in
the Pirates' attack. Tennis, in this
ar, is beginning to establish' itself
s a primary sport of the spring at
he coll ge. Better schedules were
eing drawn up and the courts were
gradually being repaired. Fans, be-
came interested in the sport and
start d supporting their Pirates at
all their home games. The future of
tennis at Bast Carolina College was
becoming more and more promising,
although it still lacks the prestige
and popularity that it should have.
Returning lettermen for the 1953
season were Paul Cameron, Joe Hal-
low, Frazier Bruton, and Amos
Stroud. The schedule included such
powers as NC State, Wake Forest,
High Point, Elon, George Washing
on, and Guilfonl. The team
well as a unit anil showed plenty of
promise. The Pirates won all of their
North Slate Conference contests ex-
cept the ones scheduled with High j
Point. The Panthers defeated the
Pirates by the scores of 4-3 and 5-2.
Eas.t Carolina finished second once
again to High Point, which boasted
two of the greatest amateur players
in the country with the services of
lie Mexicans. Rookies on this year's
quad wer Don Muse, Dal Foscue,
.ind J. W. Browning.
So, f' mil the years of Coach
Haynes' first team up to the present
year, there is proof that tennis at
our college has grown in popularity
as well m success. Only through the
i-oor- ration of the athletic department
and the students can tennis ever be
at a pt-ak in qualty or quantity.
These two factors have been exer-
cised down through the years and
they have assured East Carolina of
fielding a team that can hold its own
in any amateur bracket, both in court
Browning
varsity experience, are expected to
form a strong nucleus.
Those hoping to build around this
nucleus are the newcomers: Craig
Kester. Gene Russell, Lewis Barnes,
Jack Pickott, Gary Soarboro, and A.
W. Caudill. These men are expected
in reinforce last year's graduation
losses.
The team is expected to be much
improved this season. Last year they
finished second in the North State
Conference 'behind High Point. A
schedule will be announced .later in-
cluding such teams as: North Caro-
lina State, Wake Forest, High Point
and Elon. The first game will be
with North Carolina State around
the first week in April.
Track Team
Preparations for East Carolina's
first track team are in the making
as the tracksters are still working
out. Some 15 students, mostly run-
ners, are reporting daily.
The members of the squad are
working out on their own since there
has been no appointment of an offi-
cial coach. No schedule has been
announced, but a tentative slate con-
sisting of North State Conference
foes is being worked out.
Among these schools are: Lenoir
Rhyne, a powerhouse in the confer-
ence annually, Guilford, Elon and
High Point. Contacts are also being
made with Big Four schools in the
hope that the newly-formed Pirate
tracksters will be able to enter tri-
angular competition in meets already
scheduled.
The team is confronted by many
problems such as difficulty in finding
a field. The College Stadium is not
adequately equipped for field events
so the squad is 'being forced to share
the Guy Smith Stadium in Green-
looked v'e Greenville High School.
Construction plans for pits and other
necessities: are underway, however,
and these will be completed within
the next few weeks.
Golf Squad
East Carolina's North State Golf
Champions are practicing daily in
preparation for the delfense of the
conference crown. The local linksters
will be seeking their sixth conference
championship since entering the con-
ference in 1948. Elon's championshiip
team of 1952 prevented the Pirates
from winning the title every year
since their entrance into the con-
ference.
Claude King, Dave Martin and Har-
ry Rainey will lead the squad in
contention for the crown, while Pat
Hunt, Jim Harris and Fred Sexton
will probably fill the other three
positions. The local golfers should
successfully defend the North State
crown against such respected oppon-
ents as: Guilford, High Point and
Elon. Also on the Pirate linksters'
schedule will be such non-conference
foes as Wake Forest. The complete
s.portsm:Khip and superior ability-
plus in extreme, earnest desire to win. i " "
