Women students are eligible to en-<lb/>
roll on an elective basis in elementary<lb/>

Col. Partridge. He said that the pur-<lb/>

the basks of aviation history in order<lb/>
that they may be better prepared to<lb/>
teach the young men who may even<lb/>

First Place Rating, CSPA Convention, March, 1954<lb/>
Welcome, New students<lb/>
Every year the same welcome mat type of<lb/>
editorial gets knocked out for the freshmen and<lb/>
transfer students. The first edition of the paper<lb/>
is often dedicated to the new students. The fact<lb/>
that this is always done doesn't make our greet-<lb/>
ing this year any less cordial or sincere.<lb/>
Alter almost two weeks of school, you fresh-<lb/>
men are now toward the end of a crucial adjust-<lb/>
ment period. In a little while you won't be pointed<lb/>
out as "freshmen We hope you already feel as<lb/>
much a part of East Carolina College as you<lb/>
really arc. A note from we who have been here<lb/>
Longer: You're really more important than we<lb/>
are for your years of service to the school are<lb/>
ahead while ours are nearing completion.<lb/>
A sage has said. "I will prepare myself and<lb/>
my time will come In college we learn ideas,<lb/>
grasp ideals and enter into associations with<lb/>
peoples of various creeds and nationalities We<lb/>
meet problems and learn to face them. The first<lb/>
weeks as new students are experiences through<lb/>
which everyone learns much that will help them<lb/>
throughout life.<lb/>
The bumper crop of new students creates<lb/>
no real problem. The "East Carolinian takes this<lb/>
opportunity to welcome you and wish you luck.<lb/>
Another new year begins and every<lb/>
one is about to get adjusted to the<lb/>
changes and feel ready to get down<lb/>
to business. The staff of the "East<lb/>
Carolinian" is enthusiastic about this<lb/>
first issue and our readers may rest<lb/>
a soared that we will continue to be<lb/>
enthusiastic- about each is?ue through-<lb/>
out the whole year.<lb/>
Since both publications, the news-<lb/>
paper and the annual, 'have women<lb/>
editor's there is a challenge to meet.<lb/>
We have to prove that this isn't<lb/>
exclusively a "man's world<lb/>
What Next In The East?<lb/>
Even before, but especially since the Korean<lb/>
truce was signed a little over a year ago, the<lb/>
Communists have constantly followed policies of<lb/>
unfriendly attitude toward the U.S. and her al-<lb/>
lies, mainly to see what it will take to provoke<lb/>
them into war.<lb/>
It seems the latest policy is to shoot down<lb/>
planes. In the last week of July, a British plane<lb/>
v. as shot down off the Hainan Islands, killing ten<lb/>
people of which three were American. The latest<lb/>
incident took place September 4, when the U. S.<lb/>
Navy patrol plane Neptune was shot down over<lb/>
the Sea of Japan by two MIGs. One crew member<lb/>
lost his life in this unprovoked attack.<lb/>
Up until recently the U.S. has only asked<lb/>
for apologies, and reimbursement for the lives<lb/>
aid propertv that have been lost. After the<lb/>
shooting down of the British airliner, the Com-<lb/>
munists attacked a flight of Navy aircraft that<lb/>
were searching for survivors. To their surprise,<lb/>
shots came back! Two Red LA-7 fighter planes<lb/>
were shot down in which a Tar Heel took part.<lb/>
These particular Communist planes were out of<lb/>
Red China.<lb/>
Red China charged that it was an attack<lb/>
provoked by the U. S. and that the American<lb/>
planes violated Chinese sovereignty. President<lb/>
Eisenhower denied the charges at a news confer-<lb/>
ence on July 28. He said that in the future the<lb/>
U. S. will defend her rights. If this is to be true,<lb/>
what will be done about the incident of Septem-<lb/>
ber 4?<lb/>
The Reds apologized to England for shooting<lb/>
down her plane. Will they do the same to the<lb/>
U.S.? In the past they have adopted a completely<lb/>
different attitude. If they do apologize, which is<lb/>
doubtful, will they shoot another one down next<lb/>
month, next week or tomorrow?<lb/>
Although facing the Southeast Asia Treaty<lb/>
Organization, and the fact that Americans will<lb/>
shoot back now, what other aggressive policies<lb/>
will the Communists pursue?<lb/>
Will Formosa be the next place? Formosa is<lb/>
not protected by the SEATO, but the 7th Fleet<lb/>
has orders to protect it and also the lesser islands.<lb/>
On Quemoy, which is a lesser island, two Ameri-<lb/>
can observers have already lost their lives. Que-<lb/>
moy is 120 miles across the Formosa straits.<lb/>
Amoy, an island dominated by the Reds, is<lb/>
only seven miles away in which a Red build-up<lb/>
has been taking place. On September 7th, the<lb/>
Nationalist Chinese attacked this island to stop<lb/>
this build-up. Will the Reds try to take Formosa<lb/>
now? Will they run over the 7th Fleet in order<lb/>
to do so?<lb/>
If this happens it will most surely mean war.<lb/>
We stayed out of the Indochina war. Let's hope<lb/>
we can stay out of Formosa, but be ready to de-<lb/>
fend it if the time comes. BRH.<lb/>
Campus Improvements<lb/>
East Carolina College is rapidly improving.<lb/>
As one moves about the campus he is sure to<lb/>
notice the many improvements. One of the most<lb/>
readily noticed is the new Student Union which<lb/>
is located in the basement of Wright building.<lb/>
The Student Union consists of the soda shop, TV<lb/>
lounge, ping pong room, and the book store. The<lb/>
lounge is very spacious and is modernly arranged.<lb/>
Students are able to gather here whether it be<lb/>
with a gang or with their date for a most en-<lb/>
joyable time. Another noticeable characteristic<lb/>
is that it is soundproof.<lb/>
The new library certainly deserves men-<lb/>
tion. Although it was in use during the summer<lb/>
many students have not had the pleasure of<lb/>
using it. Aisde from the material changes one is<lb/>
sure to notice the quietness that is now observed<lb/>
in the library.<lb/>
Throughout the various dormitories and<lb/>
classroom buildings new water fountains have<lb/>
been installed.<lb/>
The William B. Umstead dormitory is now<lb/>
under construction. This boy's dormitory will be<lb/>
located on tenth street.<lb/>
All in all the students, faculty and per-<lb/>
sonel of East Carolina have much to be happy<lb/>
about. J S.<lb/>
The t ditor of a Pennsylvania college<lb/>
newspaper, in speaking to a group of<lb/>
his fellow would-ibe journalists last,<lb/>
Spring at the ASCP Convention at<lb/>
Columbia University, said that an edi-<lb/>
toii:l can be of four types: praise,<lb/>
gripe, on special occasions, or a fac-<lb/>
tual review followed by an opinion.<lb/>
In writing the editorials for the "East<lb/>
Carolinian the Editorial Board will<lb/>
probably conform to this outline.<lb/>
Let it be said that if we are ever<lb/>
wrong in our stand, we will retract<lb/>
when we're proven wrong. We do feel<lb/>
that it is our job to take a stand on<lb/>
major issues and intend to do just<lb/>
that. No personal offense will be tak-<lb/>
en on our part however if the reader<lb/>
who disagrees with us will let us know<lb/>
how he feels. i<lb/>
While we are on the subject of<lb/>
reader opinion, we will mention that<lb/>
letters to the editor are welcomed<lb/>
and will be printed as long and as<lb/>
soon as space permits if they are<lb/>
signed by their writers. Lf you want<lb/>
to write a letter to the editor without<lb/>
having your name appear in the<lb/>
paper, that will be just as acceptable<lb/>
if the editor knows who wrote the<lb/>
letter.<lb/>

Wedding bells rung for quite a few<lb/>
East Carolina graduates and students<lb/>
during the summer. To mention a few,<lb/>
Kay Johnston, a member of our staff<lb/>
for the last two years, became Mrs.<lb/>
Gene Spruill and transferred to ACC<lb/>
so she could be with her husband.<lb/>
Marietta and Major Hooper were<lb/>
married in Elizabeth City on Sep-<lb/>

and Major is now in the Air Force.<lb/>
Wade Cooper and Mary Sue Burch<lb/>
became Mr. and Mrs. Cooper on Sep-<lb/>

The draft caught up with several<lb/>
of our students and scared several<lb/>
more into enlisting. Norman Lee Ed-<lb/>
gerton of Kenly, isn't back because of<lb/>
the draft. Jim Fish, who was a rising<lb/>
junior and active in quite a few extra-<lb/>
curricular activities, didn't wait for<lb/>
the draft to catch him. Algie Fair-<lb/>
cloth, who went into service last year,<lb/>
is in Germany now. Floyd Rhodes is<lb/>
down in Georgia for basic training.<lb/>

Dear Fellow Students:<lb/>
As college reopens, we are faced<lb/>
with two very definite problems?one<lb/>
being the traffic situation on our<lb/>
campus. I feel that the student body<lb/>
has been more than co-operative in<lb/>
k epng on-campus parking to a min-<lb/>
imu n. This has helped a great deal,<lb/>
am I hope will continue. I wish to<lb/>
ask those of you who live on campus<lb/>
to drive as little as possible. Keeping<lb/>
your cars parked at, or near your<lb/>
dorms, allows less congestion for<lb/>
those who must commute. Those of<lb/>
you living in town who must drive<lb/>
to the campus can help I y parking<lb/>
on the adjoining streets.<lb/>
The second problem is that of care<lb/>
of our new Student Union. We are<lb/>
proud that East Carolina College may<lb/>
boast one of North Carolina's finest!<lb/>
Plans for future expansions and ad-<lb/>
ditions depend upon our actions. We<lb/>
remember you have a newly acquired<lb/>
independence and new responsibilities<lb/>
in a new environment which you must<lb/>
learn to use and carry successfully.<lb/>
You will discover that there are many<lb/>
organized activities on the campus.<lb/>
Choose carefully those in which you<lb/>
are most interested and give the<lb/>
'best that you have to them. Through<lb/>
participation in these activities you<lb/>
will discover capacities in yourself of<lb/>
which you have been unaware.<lb/>
Successful college work is depen-<lb/>
dent on clear thinking, a sense of<lb/>
responsibility, self control and hard<lb/>

Lots of freshmen have asked us<lb/>
whether they could expect to be ini-<lb/>
tiated by the sophomores. The answer<lb/>
is no, unless there is some change<lb/>
over previous years. Some clubs and<lb/>
fraternities have initiation stunts but<lb/>
there is no campus-wide initiation for<lb/>
new students. Might he fun if such<lb/>
could be arranged, don't you think?<lb/>
we have. The steps taken by each of<lb/>
us as an individual will probably be<lb/>
most valuable. If each of us can feel<lb/>
a personal responsibility, the job is<lb/>
done!<lb/>

Greetings Students,<lb/>
East Carolina College welcomes<lb/>
you to its campus. I and the members<lb/>
of my department are interested in<lb/>
helping you to obtain the best pos-<lb/>
sible development and happiness from<lb/>
your experience while with us.<lb/>
I hope that you will acquire many<lb/>

fine spirit which was displayed during<lb/>
the very busy days of registration.<lb/>
Especially do I want to thank all<lb/>
So. in the opening of the 1954-55<lb/>
school year, you will take this word<lb/>
of greeting as a welcome from alumni<lb/>
of East Carolina College. We are<lb/>
glad you are here, and if you are<lb/>
the daughter or son of a former<lb/>
student, or the friend of any of our<lb/>
alumni, this is a word of greeting to<lb/>
you which we sincerely extend.<lb/>
You become a part of the student<lb/>
group which represents a wide geo-<lb/>
graphical area and a part of a student<lb/>
body where good citizenship is en-<lb/>
couraged by and through an active<lb/>
student government. You belong to us<lb/>
and are a part of a growing family<lb/>
of alumni. When you leave your<lb/>
POT POURRI<lb/>
by Valeria Shearon<lb/>
Girls, here is your opportunity to advance<lb/>
in the field of aviation. The course in Air Tad<lb/>
which the college is now offering female student)<lb/>
is one which many of you will be interested<lb/>
if you vill take the time to investigate and find<lb/>
out what the course includes. To enroll in this<lb/>
division of the ROTC, female students are not<lb/>
required to take the stiff entrance exams<lb/>
the boys must take and pass. Neither a<lb/>
girls expected to drill. As far as they ai<lb/>
cerned, the course will be a series of lectures<lb/>
various phases of aviation, it does not tie.<lb/>
the highly technical side. The course is mainlj aa<lb/>
opportunity to learn simple facts which<lb/>
citizen should know in order to ui derstand ar,c<lb/>
cope with this modern air-minded world. At<lb/>
present time there are a small number i<lb/>
enrolled in the course. lit is hoped that by i<lb/>
quarter, sul 1'icent interest will have been I<lb/>
to increase the enrollment number. This<lb/>
nitely a step toward preparing our woi<lb/>

we live, women need to take an active<lb/>

Surprising as it sounds, a very large<lb/>

birth has never been confirmed by<lb/>
issuance of a birth certificate. This<lb/>

What Did You Do This Summer?<lb/>
by Joyce Norris<lb/>
"What did you do this summer?"<lb/>
seems to be a popular question<lb/>
around the campus these days when<lb/>
everyone had just returned from three<lb/>
months of care-free vacation. From<lb/>
the many suntans I've seen, it looks<lb/>
as though the majority of the college<lb/>
folks spent a lot of time on the beach.<lb/>
Here's what a few of the other stu-<lb/>
dents did to pass away the time this<lb/>
summer.<lb/>

in another recent film, "Magnificent<lb/>

For reading, September's Redbook<lb/>
has a good article on Jon Lindbergh,<lb/>
the son of Charles Lindbergh. The<lb/>
story tells how Jon made a name for<lb/>
himself -without relying on his father's<lb/>
fame. A "novel soon to be published by<lb/>
David McKay Company which appeals<lb/>
to soft-hearted women readers (and<lb/>
sympathetic men) is "Harvest of the<lb/>
Heart" by a California author, May<lb/>
Mellinger. The story here is about the<lb/>
odd member of a back street family<lb/>
who made good and found herself a<lb/>
place of respect and happiness. The<lb/>
family was originally from the Okla-<lb/>
homa hills, but there is only a slight<lb/>
tinge of the "Grapes of Wrath" kind<lb/>
of atmosphere.<lb/>

that kept you busy, didn't it, J. C?<lb/>

you do over there, Waverly?<lb/>
Jackie Boado said that she went<lb/>
to the beach and watched TV while<lb/>
her brother, Emo, attended summer<lb/>
school.<lb/>
Claude King tried to make a name<lb/>
for himself in the baseball world this<lb/>
summer. Looks as though he did a<lb/>
good job, too.<lb/>
Bill Hardee worked for the Coca-<lb/>

The question most freshmen have been askec<lb/>
by upperclassmen and friends out in town I<lb/>
week is "Row do you like East Carolina?" We<lb/>
scouted around and picked up the following ar<lb/>
ers from a few frosh on the same topic.<lb/>

of the teachers and upperclassmen impressed me.<lb/>
You can't tell an upperclassman from a freshman.<lb/>
They all treat you as an equal. The teachers s<lb/>

know more about how I like the place once I get<lb/>

John Rainey, Salisbury: "I really like the<lb/>

Those who were on hand Saturday<lb/>
night should agree that the Pirates<lb/>
got off on tht right foot as far as the<lb/>
1954 gridiron season is concerned.<lb/>
Perhaps the most cheering note<lb/>
in East Carolina's 21-0 win was<lb/>
the fact that the Pirates proved<lb/>
that they could play top-notch<lb/>
ball without the services of their<lb/>
top-notch player, Dick Cherry.<lb/>
Cherry, a junior quarterback who<lb/>
pitched 17 touchdown passes for<lb/>
the Bucs last year, suffered a<lb/>
broken foot in a pre-season prac-<lb/>
tice session and will probably be<lb/>
out for the entire season.<lb/>

Little information is available con-<lb/>

of course, thai the brunt of the<lb/>
aerial game was to have been should-<lb/>
ered by Cherry, East Carolina never-<lb/>
ti el, ss fell short on its passing game.<lb/>
When the passing did click however,<lb/>
it went for distance.<lb/>
On the credit side of the ledger was<lb/>
the Pirates' superlative blocking. We<lb/>
cant recall seeing better blocking in<lb/>
any football game so early in the<lb/>
season. Particular was this evident<lb/>
when Hayes took off on his 69-yard<lb/>
touchdown romp in the first period.<lb/>
Co-ca; tain Willie Holland, David Lee<lb/>
and the rest of the Pirate line really<lb/>
cleared the way for Hayes big and<lb/>

John "Toppy" Hayes (left) and Willie Holland (right). Hayes scored two touchdowns from his left halfback<lb/>
post Saturday night while Holland led the line play from hi tackle position.<lb/>
er last week with no serious injuries<lb/>
and should ibedn top physical condition<lb/>
for Saturday's game. The starting<lb/>
backfield for the Pirates probably will<lb/>
include Claude King at fullback, Top-<lb/>
py Hayes and Emo Boado at the<lb/>
halves and Boyd Webb at quarterback.<lb/>
Webb, a senior from Gastonia,<lb/>
movtd into the number one signal<lb/>
calling position when the Bucs' first<lb/>

pro ably will use the same line-up<lb/>
which started against Norfolk last<lb/>

season's grid opener for both teams<lb/>
at College Stadium Saturday.<lb/>
East Carolina received the opening<lb/>
kkkoff and, following an exchange of<lb/>
punts, Hayes took a handoff from<lb/>
quarterback Boyd Webb and scooted<lb/>
around his own right end for 69<lb/>
yards and the score. Fullback Claude<lb/>
King added the extra point, the first<lb/>
of three he kicked during the night.<lb/>
Rhodes Scores<lb/>
Late in the second period after<lb/>
Norfolk threat had been stopped on<lb/>
the East Carolina one yard line, the<lb/>
nirate drove to within the Tars 10.<lb/>
From that point Webb pitched into<lb/>
the end zone to Larry Rhodes for the<lb/>
touchdown.<lb/>
In the third period Hayes, who<lb/>
repped at Durham High, grabbed<lb/>
a 33-yard toss from Webb on the<lb/>
midfield stripe and outraced the Nor-<lb/>

the goal.<lb/>

For the Pirates the win was<lb/>
especially sweet in that they played<lb/>

A Fresh Freshman's First Day At East Carolina<lb/>
by A Typical Freshman,<lb/>
as told to Jerry Register<lb/>
On the morning of September 6th,<lb/>
i got out of bed all excited; this was<lb/>
the day 1 was going to c?llege. 1 al-<lb/>
ready had my bags packed, even had<lb/>
a new toothbrush for the occasion<lb/>
Out of bed I hopped, washed and<lb/>
dressed in fifteen minutes, and headed<lb/>
for the kitchen for breakfast. As I<lb/>
came in the kitchen, my mother said<lb/>
to me, "My, but you seem all excited<lb/>
about something. What is it?"<lb/>
"Why shouldn't I' ibe I said, "I'm<lb/>
going to college today<lb/>
"Oh she said, "I had forgotten<lb/>
After breakfast, wr got ready and<lb/>
sUirUvi on the long josrney to East<lb/>
Carolina College, where I was to be<lb/>
a student for the next year. That is,<lb/>
if I didn't flunk out!<lb/>
When I enrolled in this college, the<lb/>
registrar told me that all of the dorm-<lb/>
itory rooms were filled up. He sug-<lb/>
gested a place off the campus<lb/>
whare 1 might be able to get a room.<lb/>
So I contacted the owner of the home<lb/>
and secured a place to stay.<lb/>
After I had unpacked all of my<lb/>
things, 1 said goodby to my father<lb/>
and mother.<lb/>
As they drove off, I felt for the<lb/>
first time in my young life that I<lb/>
was all alone. This was a new ex-<lb/>
erience for me, and, to tell you the<lb/>
truth, it was the first time I had been<lb/>
away from home to stay. "Oh, well<lb/>
j said to myself, "you'll get over it<lb/>
I went back ao my room and laid<lb/>
down on the bed. As I lay there, 1<lb/>
started thinking about what had hap-<lb/>
pen to me during my life. I thought<lb/>
about the "good old days" when I was<lb/>
in high school. I thought about all<lb/>
the parties, dances and football games<lb/>
used to have at home. Around<lb/>
we<lb/>
home, I know everybody?up here I<lb/>
didn't know anybody. It sort of gave<lb/>
me a weird feeling inside of my<lb/>
I stomach to think of those things, so<lb/>
I stopped thinking about them.<lb/>
"So what I thought, ? might not<lb/>
know anyone now but I'll meet a lot<lb/>
of people up here I quit reminiscing<lb/>
of the days gone by and started think-<lb/>
ing about the days ahead.<lb/>
!l get up and went down to the<lb/>
campus to see what was happening<lb/>
there. The campus looked like a race<lb/>
track, cars were going all ever the<lb/>
place. Everyone was moving in. And<lb/>
I do mean everyone!<lb/>
Every girl who was coming in had<lb/>
about a truck load of trunks and suit-<lb/>
cases. It was just about like the air-<lb/>
port in Washington, D. C. a new one<lb/>
coming in every minute! 1 stood on a<lb/>
comer and watched these people<lb/>
going back and forth, like ants on an<lb/>
ant hill.<lb/>
While I was watching all those<lb/>
people unpack, I noticed a group of<lb/>
boys standing around the entrance of<lb/>
one of the girl's dormitories. Being<lb/>
inquisitive, I moved in a little closer<lb/>
to get a better look at what was go-<lb/>
ing on. When I realized what these<lb/>
boys were doing, I theught to myself,<lb/>
"Ah, the age of chivalry isn't dead<lb/>
yet<lb/>
These boys were waiting for the<lb/>
cars to stop in front of the dormitory.<lb/>
When they did one of the boys would<lb/>
usher himself up to the girl getting<lb/>
out of the car and introduce himself.<lb/>
After all the formalities, he would ask<lb/>
her if she would like to have some<lb/>
help. Of course the girl would say<lb/>
yes. So this modern Sir Walter Ra-<lb/>
leigh would tell the girl to stand aside<lb/>
and would proceed to unpack her lug-<lb/>
gage. After he had gotten it all out<lb/>
of the car, he would say, "Lead the<lb/>
way up to your room<lb/>
This being the first day of college,<lb/>
the dormitories were open to every-<lb/>
one. So the girl would lead the way<lb/>
and get her luggage up to her room<lb/>
with the help of one of these chival-<lb/>
rous boys.<lb/>
After everything had settled down,<lb/>
and everyone had moved in, my<lb/>
stomach told me that it was time<lb/>
for supper. So off to the dining hall<lb/>
I went, and, after having to stand<lb/>
in liine for about two hours, I was<lb/>
able to eat supper.<lb/>
After supper, I went to an assembly<lb/>
for all freshmen to hear the presi-<lb/>
dent of the college introduce the high<lb/>
ranking officials, and speak to us<lb/>
about the "golden opportunities" that<lb/>
college offered us.<lb/>
The assembly lasted for about two<lb/>
more hours. After all of this, I went<lb/>
"home" to get some much needed<lb/>
sleep. Somehow il wasn't as excited<lb/>
about it as I had been earber in the<lb/>
day. I began to feel I belonged here.<lb/>
