In his talk, Lennon also referred
to "McCarthyism although ne did
not so label it. He said, "Men and

their accusers, offer testimony in
their own behalf, have counsel of

those rights.

Was - W
by Jerry Register
About nine thirty on Friday morn-
ing. I was a-walking down in front of
Wright building, and I saw a sign
that said, "Get your cool drinks
here So I went up to the man that
was selling them, andsaid, "1 want
a 'Big Orange drink "
I got it and started to drink it,
when all of a sudden there come a
big buuch of people out of nowhere-
they did. And they commenced to go
into this big building, and there were
so many of them, that it wasnt so
much what I could do but to move
along with them.
Where It Is
We got in this here building and
moved on in, and I come upon th
man and he said, ?? f? 1"JJ
where you want to go?" And I id,
"Man, I don't even know where it is
that I'm at Then he said to me,
"Do you have a ticket?" And I said,
I
mi
00
"No" Well, he commenced to look
around, and he finally stopped look-
ing around and pointed to a table
and said, "You can get one there
I thought that I had to buy a ticket
to get in this place, so, being that
had gotten this far, I thought
,Jght as well get one. Well sir, I got
y ticket and went up to the man
at the door, and tried to give.htm
the ticket. He said, "Keep it. You I
need it later
"Big Barn"
Well, I went on in and took a seat
in the back of this W- "barn like
building. I sat there and heard a
whole bunch of people make a noise
on some kindly of iwrterments. Of
all the beating, banging, blowing,
pulling and aching, I've never seen
the likes.
After that was over, everybody
clapped, and whistled, and whooped
aJ hollered, and I don't know what
all. Next, this big man with his
Sunday-go-to-meetin' suit on got up,
said something, and set back down.
And they clapped again.
Then this fellow that was in the
Army, Navy, or Air Force, or some-
thing, got up and talked a little
while. Then he sat down. After a few
more men got up and set back down,
everybody got up and started out
the door.
Cow Pasture
Well, it wasn't so much but what
I had to move with them again. This
time we went out to this little cow
pasture, and half of us went over
nd set on one side, and the other
half went over and set on the other
side. There we set, sitting and a-
iJtaring at one-a-nother across this
here cow pasture.
Bunch of Folks
I soon got tared of that so I started
to get up and go somewhere else;
man was I cold! Whe all of a sud-
den I heard a whole bunch of racket
down at one end of this pasture.
There commenced to come a whole
"unoh of people all dressed alike.
They even had little blue hats on.
Well sir, they had some kind of
adhesive tape wrapped anound their
legs, and to top it all they were a-
beating aud a-banging.
Follow the Leader
As they come on this here pasture,
they must have been playing follow
the leader, because the man in front
went down the field one time and
tha others followed, a-)beating and
a-banging, and then he turned around
and they turned around too. Well, he
got tired after a while from walking
so much, so he pulled over to one
corner of the pasture and stopped.
Amd all of those boys he had behind
him stopped at the same time, and
stood there like they were petrified.
They stood there, not moving a
muscle. Then tihere come another
bunch of people from the same end
of the field. And they were all dressed
alike, too. Well, they came out and
they were following the leader, txn?
ijhey were. They came out and lined
up in little groups. There were two
of these groups that must have been
going hunting, because they had their
sihootinirons slung over their shoul-
ders.
There wag one man in every little
group that carried a little flag. I don't
know why they carried them, unless
it was for exercise, because they were
always raising and lowering them.
' SwatthV Flies
For some unknown reason, every
now and then all of these people
would hit the right side of their head
like they were swatitin' at a fly or
something.
One time, there come a few men
out of each little gro.p. They came
out individually and one at a time??
thf y dad. They commenced to come
out and they met in the middle of
the field. And they commenced to
going around and around and back-
wards and forwards, aiid I don't know
what all.
Follow the Crowd
Well, at this point it was that I got
tired of watching those people mess-
ing around out there, so I got up and
went out. I was getting sort of hun-
gry, so I asked a man at the gate
wiiere it was that I could get some-
thing to eat. He said, "Just follow
the crowd And I did.
Man, what a crowd it was, there
were more people around here than
there was at Gettysburg when ol'
Abe Lincoln sang "The Battle Hymn
of the Republic I bet that there
were at least fifty million people
hare.
Well sir, I followed the crowd down
to the picnic grounds to get me some
dinner. When I g?t there, there was
a tig line lined up to get something
to eat, too?-they were. Right here
1 found out what this ticket that I
had bought was for. It was for
something to eat. Well sir, I give the
man my ticket and picked up my
plate and started down the line. This
reminded me of an old fn iond
church dinner, more vittles than you
could shake a stick at.
Well sir, after I ate dinner I de-
cided that I didn't want to stick
around any longer?I did. So I went
home.
What It Was . .?
You know, I still don't know what
it was that was a-going on down on
the camtpus of good ol' DOG. But I
guess it was all of those "crazy
mixed up kids" from the high schools
around North Carolina.

Dim The Lights, Please
Lat Saturday night the annual Junior-Sen-
i. r Dance was held in Wright building. The dec-
orations were well planned and beautiful, the
refreshments were weak but good, and the music
? as of the best. But the work of the Junior Class
to make it the best dance yet on campus may have
been wasted. The lights were bright enough to
read a comic book.
Lighting plays an important part in the
c: eation of the right atmosphere at a dance. Too
much gives the impression that the dance was
piann I for a bunch of "high schoolers Why
can't we be treated as college students?
There have been several dances that were

at future dances someone will be permitted to
flip the dimmer switch. ?JWL
Maybe It's A Good Thing
There was no interest among the senior stu-
dents for an annual banquet in their honor. Plans
were made for a Senior Banquet last Friday
evening, but when only a small number purchased
tickets, the event was called off.
At East Carolina classification of students
is a technical matter, not one of social importance.
All students are allowed the same privileges, with
the exception of week end restriction during the
fall quarter for freshmen girls. Freshmen do not
wear beannies nor do they undergo any hazing.
Every student is treated alike, no matter what
classification.
It is regrettable that the graduating class
could not be honored at a dinner. But give us
the no class system in which there are no lines
drawn to make a lower classman inferior to an
upperclassman.

Letters
To The Editor
To the Editor:
I was greatly disappointed in the
number of college students present
at the Choir concert held on our cam-
pus Thursday night, April 1.
Our choir is a coiiege function,
theoretically supported by the student
body. At Thursday's concert, there
were about 45 students in the audi-
ence. I am not a member of the
musiic department, but I for one was
there along with several others who
like good music.
The townspeople of Greenville were
there. Where were the ECC students?
It wag a very good concert. Con-
gratulations to the choir!

AN OPEN LETTER:
On April 14, the 1953-54 Student
Government Association retired its
year's office and the new 1954-55
Administration began its term.
The 22 changes in the Student
Government Association Constitution,
entertainment poll, 'best Homecoming
ever, changes in women's restrictions,
By-law revision, stronger student
voice and Student Government, out-
standing record at conventions, re-
cord election vote and many other
acfhievoments are examples of the
success and advancement of the Stu-
dent Government Association since we
took, office in the s'pring of 1953.
This success, however, would not
have been a reality without the amaz-
ing cooperation received from the
students, campus organizations, "East
Carolinian faculty, College Admin-
istration and the Greenville communi-
ty.
I want to take this means, on the
behalf of the 1953-54 Student Govern-
ment Association, to sincerely thank
the many who have done so much to-
wards our goal this year. We are
confident that the new SGA Admin-
istration will have much success in
the future.
It has been a great honor and plea-
sure to have served as president. It
was an office that 1 will long cherish.
With the kindest regards to every-
one, I am

music career, has also done some

a few days. I really went incognito
getting a tan and buying big baskets
and hats. When I got ready to board

Last year Walter won the Student
Musacdan contest sponsored by the
National F'ederation of Music ans.
Wins Several Awards
This year an even greater honor
was bestowed upon Walter when he
won the South Atlantic District Con-
test of the National Steinway Cen-

step forward toward a $2,000 scholar-
ship and a career as a concert pianist.
Contestants must master a reper-

of the candidates lor junior senator
from North Carolina has stated that
he will not use any such form of
oliticking in his campaign for office.
His opponent, on the other hand, is
ticking bo the popular form through-
out his campaign. This presents a
difficult problem to the "clean cam-
paigner" as he is unable to defend
himself without being accused of
mud-slinging.
The "clean campaigner" in this case
is, of course, former Governor W.
Kerr Scott. Mr. Scott has been con-
demned for his road program that
he so effectively carried out during
his term as Governor.
It is true that Mr. Scott personally
profited from the roads that he built
around his farm in Alamance County.
His opponents seem to enjoy bringing
this fact to the attention of the vot-
ers. However, they always omit the
fact that many other citizens of Ala-
mance County profit from these same
roads. Likewise, the citizens in other
counties have profited, and will con-
liraie to rofit, from the roads that
were built in their counties.
Was Mr. Scott justified in building
so many roads in his home county?
Why not? Several other counties,
who have had representatives in high
offices of our state government, re-
ceived new roads. Many of these roads
stopped at the Alamance County line.
If these other counties were justified
in the improvement of their roads,
then Mr. Scott was certainly justified
in improving the roads in his home
county, and should have been permit-
ted to do so without criticism. Both
cases are the same?Ptate funds, im-
proving state roads, for a better
North Carolina.
Another issue that has been criti- j
cized by the opposers of Mr. Scott is
the fact that Mr. Scott leased several
acres of his land to a construction
company to be used as a rock, stone
and gravel quarry. This rock was used
in state construction projects. The
opposers claim that bhere was a bet-
ter grade of material available from
other sources. However, they do not
offer any proof as to which of the
two sources furnish the better grade
materials. The flat statement made
by the opposers that a better grade
was available, hould not be accepted
by the intelligent voter until proof is
furnished that the better grade does
exist.
There are other factors that enter
into this case. If the better grade
did exist, would it cost any more to
have thu rock extracted from the
Unnecessary Socializing In Library
Observe Be Quiet Week'
During- the last of March the matter of unnecessary social-
izing in the library was brought before the Student Government
Association. A special committee was appointed by the SGA to
investigate the existing situation in the library and to offer a so-
lution to the problem. The Library Club on campus was asked to
cooperate in this investigation.
Next week, April 18-25, is to be "Quiet In the Library Week
This special week, emphasized by signs placed around the library,
is an effort by the committee and the club to curb the noise and
visible frolicking which has been going on in the library in exces-
sive amounts lately. Whether or not this effort will be successful
will depend entirey upon each individual student who studies in
the library. The purpose of the "Quiet Week is to ask the stu-
dents for their cooperation in maintaining a library where serious
studying can be carried on. A move for detent studying atmos-
phere must come directly from the students. A multitude of com-
mittees ctuld be appointed, but they would do no good
whatsoever if the subjects in question were not willing to
c operate.
The present library is overcrowded. It is inadequate to MTe
as a study center for over 2,000 students. A reasonable amount
of noise is expected in such a library with a hundred students
working on term papers, etc every night. But the completely
unnecessary noise and disturbance which is present can be omit-
ted if we are willing.
Food
For
Thought
Now that the Student Government electiom
for 1054 have been successfully brought to a close
we would like to bring forth one slight suggi
tion which we feel might improve the electi
system.
But first let us make it clear that we :
confident that the manner in which the 1954
elections were conducted surpassed that of any
previous balloting. The smoothness and punct-
uality with shich the vote casting was conducted
reflects credit not only upon the election officials
out upon the entire student body.
Like all good things however, this system
reflects a fallacy. And that fallacy is the prac-
tice of not releasing to the general student bod.
the final total of votes cast for each candidate.
In making this statement we are not criti-
cizing the responsible officials or doubting their
honesty but we do believe that the students
East Carolina are entitled to know jus what the
specific number of votes cast for each candidate
was.
The section of the Student Handbook headed
"Nominations and General Elections" indicates
in 11 way why the vote totals are not released
and e are thereby led to believe that the prac-
tice is continued from habit.
The only possible reasoning for not releasing
the final results might be to prevent the: deflat-
ing of a badly defeated candidate's ego. Vet it
seems that when a candidate files for a Student
Government office he should realize that in
doing he is placing himself in the public's hands
and must abide by its decisions. If the candid,
for the 1 (residency of the United States can I.
revealed to the nation the number of follow
who voted for them then surely this practic-
ing beneath the dignity of East Carolina studei
Half of the enjoyment that the voting public
receives from the campaigns is re-hashing the
results of the final tally. To have a blanket an-
nouncement released stating simply that so-and-
so is the winner detracts considerably from any
election.
One of the basic American privileges?
Right To Know?is being abused under the pre-
sent system. We hope therefore, that a rem
will be forthcoming and that the student b
will not be denied a privelege which is rightfully
theirs.

Also, Mr. Scott has been criticized

There were two events of special
interest to East Carolina Coiiege stu-
dents on campus last weekend. The
first was on Friday night in Anatin
ami torium and was attended by only
a very meager number of otadeote,
and the other was on Saturday night
m Wright auditorium and was at-
tended by a goodly nunv er.
On Friday night the students had
an opportunity to hear an excellent
addareoB by one of the two men who
represents this state in the United
States Senate. Senator Alton Lennon,
u (i is a No a candidate in the forth-
coming primary, presented his views
on the major domestic and world
rohletne of today, thereby giving
he students on this campus an op-
1 ortunity to hear a fiit hand report
of the complex political problems
which face the United States and
the world today, and giving the stu-
dents an opportunity to learn some-
thing of one of the candidates for
whom they shall vote this May. That
more of the student body of this
school did not take advantage of this
ohiance is very dismaying to these
columnists. The leaders and builders
of the world tomorrow are in college
today, but perhaps East Carolina
does not have her share.
On Saturday night the first black
and w.dt? dance to be held on this
campus since 1948 was presented as
the Junior Senior by the Junior class.
The attendance at the dance was not
large in respect to dances open to
all students but was larger than had
'een expected. r rom the standpoint
of enjoyment of those present it can
be said that the dance was a huge
success. The ex eriment with formal
wear worked well and we will proba-
bly not have to wait five more years
for another black and white affair.
We know that it was an expensive
evening for those that had to rent
their tuxs, but if more formal dances
are held the price of formal wear
should come down. Congratulations
to Junior Class President Bob Neilson
and his committee for an excellent
dance.
Over the weekend as a whole it
seems to us that two steps in opposite
directions were taken by the student
body. The recaption given the formal
is another stride in the maturing of
our school, while the poor attendance
at Senator Lennon's speech was a
very poor showing for a growing
school. We hope that the students
will soon take a sincere interest in
all the varied activities on this cam-
pus. But until they do East 'Carolina
must, be content with the lack of
recognition which it needs.

During the World Affairs Institute h
here recently, Peter J. Colliers, an internation
famous newsman expressed an opinion that the
two Americans most talked about in other coun-
tries are Marilyn Monroe and Senator Joseph
McCarthy. He was not speaking in jest and we
began thinking that we had avoided them too h
in this column.
Not daring to take Miss Mbnroe as a sub-
ject for st talent criticism, we decided that Mc-
Carthy and "McCarthyism" are constantly re-
garded as grounds for a good argument any-
wh re in the United States, and that a query
taken at East Carolina on the merits of the
wVuld do no harm.
McCarthy, junior senator from Wisconsin.
has already assured himself of a page or more in
the history books. He is probably the most fa
ous United States senator. Many would say that
his fame has come net from his ability but
cause of his personality. It is certain that.
though he had already made a political name for
himself, becoming the head of the commitl
which investigates communists and "subversive
agents" in the government of our country and
carrying out his duties as he has was the top
rung in McCarthy's ladder of success or noto-
riety, as one decides to interpret it.
Although McCarthy has convicted no one.
according to the record, he has instilled a deathly
fear of association with subversives in the Amer-
ican people. His recent escapade with the Army is
perhaps the most unfortunate of his experiences.
Those who would defend him probably will be
most appreciated now.
How do these at East Carolina feel about
McCarthy? Every professor here has wisecracked
about him. The IRC sponsored a debate on Mc-
Carthyism. Everyone seems interested.
Bob Hughes, a senior here who is vice-presi-
dent of the N. C. Young Republicans believes
that Senator McCarthy is a necessary evil. Says
Hughes, "McCarthy's power has come not from
his position but is due to public opinion and biased
newspapers. If there are rats and gangsters in
the government, the only way to get them out
is to do what the McCarthyites are doing?root
them out Hughes added that McCarthy could
do his work with a httle more cooperation with
the administration, however.
Newly-elected president of the campus
Young Democrats, Kenneth Bellamy makes the
following comments on the situation, "Joe Mc-
Carthy has used his Congressional immunity to
bring attention to himself. He has shown that he
has little regard for the basic principles of free-
doom which are the rights of the American pto-
ple. Using his position without possessing the
qualities meriting it, he has brought disrespect to
the U. S. government by its own allies Speak-
ing with the air of a conventional Southern Dem-
ocrat, Bellamy declares further that "McCarthy
has added fuel to the hell fire of Communism
rather than to the warm glow of freedom
Several other opinions were expressed to us.
A student who claims to be a staunch Republican
thinks that the best thing that could happen to
McCarthy would be assasination. Frazier Bruton,
who gave no political preference thinks the sena-
tor is a "showboat One psychology professor
on campus definitely thinks McCarthy is mentally
unbalanced.

The lake is remembered as a thing
of beauty, and, possibly, a joy for-
ever, since every person appeared to
remember it with a great deal of
pleasure. Its beauty was enjoyed by
college people and townspeople alike.
What Became Of It?
But perhaps you are asking your-
self, what became of this lake? The
an wer is that it was drained. There
are several suppositions, but a def-
inite reason seems unknown. One
r?iason was that the lake bed became
nguSfed in a thick, undesirable vege-
tation. Many suggested that it was
getting to be a place for mosquito
breeding.
The water supply was always poor.
The source of water was several
prings, which have been covered
witiii tile now. There was a spillway
mar the new gym over which trickled
a small but steady stream. Neverthe-
i s, this was not sufficient. So Dr.
Meadows had some artesian wells
drilled, hoping to theref.y obtain the
n eded supply. This project was a
failure, however. Consequently, the
drainage occurred about 1941. Since
that time the lake bed has appeared
as it (iocs now.

Proud Papas
Harrell, the father of five children
whose ages range from seven to 17,
spent three years in the Navy during
World War II. He took an aptitude
test in 1946 and the results pointed
to capabilities as a police officer. Aft-
er completion of a course at Rocky
Mount's School for Policemen, Har-
rell went to Tarboro where he re-
mained until April last year. Since he
came to East Carolina, he and his
wife, who is a first grade teacher,
have bought a home on East Third
Street in Greenville. Harrell declares
he intends to send his four daughters
and son through East Carolina.
Pittman is married also but has
only one child, a nine-year-old daugh-
ter. His family still resides in Tarboro
where he dnd such work as carpentry
and manufacturing oil burners before
joining the town police department.
He became interested in the work
which later became his choice for a
life profession while serving as an
MP in the Marines from 1943-1944.
He came to East Carolina last Aug-
ust.
The two have the job of watching
our campus at night. Neither of them
have made any enemies yet, however.
Rotating weekly on the long stretch,
Harrell and Pittman come to work
from 5:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. or
from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. They work
lU days and rest one.
Pleased at Students
Both of them are very satisfied
with the students. Harrell says, "The
-trdents here are the nicest boys and
girls I have ever known. There is
quite a bit of difference in dealing
with criminals and with good Ameri-
can kids. I have enjoyed myself
thoroughly this year and I hope bo
remain at Eas?t Carolina a long, long
time
A quote from Pittman: "East Caro-
lina is a fine school and you students
;re fine young people. I especially
like the opportunities I have to talk
with you kids, the faculty and other
personnel
Both Harrell and Pittman agree

moral problem here have improved

First Impressions Of fY' Store
by Anne
This is a sea yarn that eon-
c in- a weary traveler who happ-
ened by chance to stumble into
n,
ne
"Teetotalers Tavern" one
rainy, misty night for a bit of
Pepsi. ,
He decided that this must be
quite a fabulous establishment to
warrant so much trade, for only
by pushing a few students aside
could he gain entrance and then
by chance he located a booth, aft-
er waiting only a half hour.
Written upon the sides of the
booth he observed a complete
directory of the students. By
og an hour out to read the
many scratched names, ve found
out not only the names of the
many people on campus, but also
where they were from, and who
they dated.
Stransre Ritual
Before he could complete tre
task at hand he noticed tlat
- me strange ritual most be tak-
ing place between two students
in the ' ooth across from him.
First the boy struck a ligM to a
paper cup that burst into flames.
Then slowly the girl and boy
picked up straws, lit them from
the cur and began smoking the
wreird singed straws. Must be
some ceremony they picked up
from tihe Indians, ho thought.
Just then he overheard a girl
? the bar ask the clerk If they
sold flash bulbs. "Why yes we

While he was waiting for this
transaction to end he looked
around and noticed that there
were no signs on the wall adver-
tising article in the store. So
when finally he managed to reach
a spot at the bar he asked the
reason for this. Charlie (Oharhe
Harrell, student manager) ex-
plained that because they clutter
up the store and cause it to look
gaudy they never advertise any
products. Neither do they allow
any campaign signs or banners
to be displayed.
Troubles of Bartender
First of all he noticed this
girl who, after reaching the coun-
ter, had n? idea what she wanted,
' nevertheless sine stayed there
in deep thought until it came to
h r.
The next customer mumhled out
some indistinct words, that after
being repeated several times,
were finally understood by the
bartender.
All of a sudden a rush occurred
and the weary traveler was
tossed about like a feather in a
storm. When he came to his
senses he found himself pushed
back into an inconpicuous cor-
ner. All around him were people
frantically calling orders and

Two facts explain why Luckies taste

id it or. Minnesota Daily
(ACP) ?! Four-page newspapers
with almost no advertising, no comic
strips and with daily front page ed-
itorials are the rule in Russia.
All the papers we saw, from Pravda
and Izvestia right on down to the
smallest provincial papers, follow that
same pattern. They are issued once
a day, and sell for 20 kopecs (five
cents).
We talked to seven newspaper ed-
tors during our trip, and found the
most interesting one?and a typical
Russian newsman?to be I. M. Mal-
utin, editor of the Baku, Azerbaijan,
Worker. The Worker has a circulat-
on of 10,000 and a staff of 60 per-
sons.
Editorials in the paper deal with
"all questions of interest to the Soviet
people, Malutin told us. He said he
determined editorial policy, and with
the rest of the Soviet press he is
currently trying to "educate" readers
into a friendly attitude toward the
United States.
"You can't find a phrase in our
papers against the American people
he said. "We are trying to help
fri ndly relations between nations
Malutin was bitterly critical of the
American press. Since World War II,
he said, the America press has re-
flected Soviet life non-objectively and
has been full of afferent kirds of
propaganda for war.
"I would like to read the American
papers he said, "but they reflect,
the USSR in unfriendly terms We
asked him how long it has been since
he'd seen an Amrican newspaper or
magazine, and he said three years.
How was he able to get accurate
reports from the United States? The
only fair accounts, he said, came
'rom Howard Fast (winner of the
Stalin Peace prize in 1953) and from
Paul Robeson.
Other newspapermen we talked to
w re editors of youth newspapers.
They all were chosen by the central
committee of the party and then
named their own staffs.
We asked them if their newspaper
ever disagreed with any government
decision. Tfiiey said they never do
because they trust their elected re-
presentatives to do the right thing.
At Moscow University we asked the
editor of the student newspaper if
he ever criticized the government
editorially. He said he never found
a need for that. He said he did
criticize profesif-ors and the ministry
of culture, which run the university.
Tue student editor?Ivaner Zah-
arov?looked about 35 years old. He
said he was a post-graduate student
in history, and had been elected for
the last three years by a "conference
of readers He has been a member of
the party since 1946.
There are 100 students on the staff,
Zaharov said, and the paper is issued
twice a week.
When we were visiting dormitory
rooms at Moscow University, we got
our first good look at the one-knob
radio set which is so common in
Russia.
There is no need for more than one
control on the radio because there is
only one station to listen to?Radio
Moscow. Other citie9 have th'ir own
smaller stations but only Radio Mos-
cow is heard all over tfhe Soviet Union.
In some places it's almost impossible
to get away from its voice. Loud-
speakers n the streetcorners in the
city blare forth its programs from
time it goes on the air?about 7 a.
m.?until it goes off the air about
11 p. m.
The Russians have television, too,
although not many people own sets.
There are three TV stations?in Mos-
cow, Leningrad and Kiev. We watched
t levision in Moscow, and found the
picture cleare. tS ?n any in this coun-
try because the Russians use a finer
creen. The picture tubes are small,
usually five-six inches. The Russians
told us big picture tubes are not
practical. They get bigger images by
projecting small images onto larger
screens by use of mirrors.
Seniors State Veiws Of ECC
by Joyce Smith
Be Yourself
Don't try to make someone else's life
you. Be
your own;
Their lives won't fit on
yourself.
Don't always copy others' thoughts;
do some thinking of your own,
and be yourself.
Don't just do something h aause oth-
ers do it,
Something of which later you might
be ashamed.
But have your own high code of
morals; then live up to them.
Live your own life; think your own
thoughts, and do your own
deeds.
These will fit you better than those
that belong to others.
!f, when you do copy others' lives,
you find there's some mistake,
don't blame them; just blame
yourself.
But live your own life; make your
own mistakes; then try to do
better next time, for even your
own mistakes fit you better
than those that belong to
others.
So, be yourself.

Elon College rallied for two runs
in the top of the seventh inning to
salvage the second game of a doulhle-
header, 2-1, against East Carolina
here Friday. The Pirates, behind the
patching of southpaw Jimmy Barnes,
took the first of the two seven-inning
contests, 2-0.
East Carolina ;ould collect only one
hit in the opening game, but that,
plus a pair of inifield errors in the
fifth inning, gave the Bucs their
needed two runs. Outside of that,
pitcher Sherrill Hall held East Caro-
lina in check, .striking out nine men
in the process.
Barnes, a miniature lefthander who
relies considerably on "junk" pitches,
weakened in the seventh and needed
help from reliefer Gene Taylor.
Second Game
A run in the bottom of the first
inning sent East Carolina away to a
quick lead that lasted until the fatal
seventh. Pitcher Mack Cherry had a
one-hit shutout going but gave up
three consecutive singles and was re-
lieved. Gene Taylor came on, surren-
dered another safety, and the Chris-
tians took a 2-1 decision.
The contest was played under pro-
test from the sixth inning on afteT
East Carolina Coach Earl Smith
claimed that an ineligible player was
occupying the first base coaching box.
Elon mentor Doc Mathis had substi-
tuted Don Packard to run for Bob
Dofflemeyer with Doflflemeyer taking
over the first base box for the re-
mainder of the inning.
The loss was the first for the Pi-
rates in the Eastern Division of the
North State Conference. Their league
record is now 4-1 with the overall
mark being 5-4.

Bucs Take First
Three Contest
by Anwer Joseph
East Carolina College's Pirates
moved closer to their goal of being
the winner of all three crowns in
the North State Conference by taking
a twin bill from High Point 4-3 and
9-4 and one from Guilford 12-7
In the first game of a twin bill,
the Pirates won behind the pitching
of Jimmy Barnes, who went all the
way and gave up only four hits. The
Pirates scored two runs in the first
and one each in the fourth and fifth.
Cecil Heath was the big man for the
Bucs with two hits in four times at
bat. The score: East Carolina 4, High
Point 3.
In the second game the Pirates
took an easy win on Ken Hall's
Y-itching. The Bucs scored five runs
in the third to gie them a safe
lead and went on to win 9-4. Heath
with two for three and Sandy Sander-
xm with two for four were fihe big
gmiis in the Pirate attack.
Game number three saw the Pirates
move on to their third win in style.
They scored in the first and continu-
ed to fatten their lead throughout
the contest. The two runs they pushed
across in the seventh inning that put
the count 9-3 in their favor, proved
to be the clincher for them. Mack
Cherry, freshman righthander, was
credited with the 12-7 win, pitching
seven and one-third innings, striking
out seven and giving up only four
hits. The Pirates collected 14 hits off
three Guilford pitchers. Paul Jones
got three while Gaither Cline and
W. C. Sanderson collected two each.

Coach Leon Ellis' track team is
rill somewhat m its baby stages as
ar as organizinz for its first
meet is concerned.
So far the team has been working
out daily in preparation for fielding
the first track team in East Carolina's
history. Apparently there is a rather
decreased amount of interest among
'ome o" the situdents at present.
There are only 15 or 20 boys out for
the squad now and it is hoped that
here are many olher abhtes around
he camipus that will come out for
the Mv.ort.
Some of the tracksters have quit
because of lack of interest or other
reasons and they have been replaced
by newcomers who are more enthusi-
astic cbout the young team. Due to
this there is still no available and
accurate information concerning the
id ntiiication of the players trying
out.
There is also a problem of securing
a iCi edule of respectaLTe opponents
or tihe newlyformed squad. The
first meet will probably be on April
23 at High Point. All persons inter-
ested in track should report to prac-
tice as soon as possible because their
contributions are vitally needed.

Couple Of The Week
by Erolyn Blount
May 23 or 24 is the wedding date
for Louis Singleton, junior from
Plymouth, and Nancy Kesler, senior
from Fuquay Springs. Not wasting
any time, are they? Nancy and Louis
first met during the first summer
school term (195.3) in Dr. Pastis
class. They began going steady in
July, and says Louis, jokingly, "I'd
just got out of the service and was.
still in that readjustment period you
hear about. Guess that explain why
I started going with Nancy
One night Ixmi and Nancy were
playfully fighting with each other.
Nancy told Louis he was bruising her
arm, but be wouldn't stop; so when
.she went in that night she got her
roommate to paint bruises on her.
Was Louis surprised the next morn-
bng to gee her ami all black and blue!
Nancy and Lotus like dancing,
movies, and ball games, especially
basketball. Say Nancy and Louis,
"We're just a normal COUtpJe. Can't
think of anything spectacular or un-
usual that we like to do
"Fuquay Springs is a small town
he says. "I tjhink I'm the only person
who's ever got lost there. When I
finally did ge.t to Nancy's house,
there was her father on the porch
to greet me. Before I could enter
his humble abode, I had to give my
name. age, background, pedigree and
deposit ten dollars. I was also re-
quired to attend Sunday school and
church, as he is an usher and takes
his job quite seriously. All joking
aside, though, Nancy's parents are
really swell
