partment of Air Science and Tactics
told the members of the campus In-

will be admitted on the students ID
cards, lumni members will be ad-
mitted also.
A $25, $15, and $10 prize will be
given for the best float and a $25
prize will be given for the best de-
corated dorm on Homecoming Day.
The discussion of the dance situ-
ation was continued. Wade Cooper,
President of SGA, reported on how
student's guests, the visiting team
and cheerleaders would be admitted.
He suggested that forms be printed
for the guests. Forms would be sent
to the other schools for their team
members and cheerleaders. As was
pointed out in last week's SGA news,
the SGA will be responsible for con-
duct and finances. Although they
n ay allow campus organizations to
sponsor the dances, the SGA will still
be responsible to the college admini-
stration. The organization sponsor-
ing the dance will be responsible to
the SGA.
The SGA agreed to allow the Mu-
sic Education Club to sponsor dan-
ces after the games this year. The
maximum amount to be charged per
person will be 25 cents.
We Have Parking
Troubles; So Do
Other Colleges
(Editor's note: The following story
was taken from a northern newspaper.
Due to the current uproar about the
parking situation on the campus of
Ea-st Carolina, we think it will prove
interesting to our readers.)
"When Western Michigan College
students have gotten into trouble
during the last year, fhere has almost
always been an automobile connected
with the incident says J. Towner
Smith, d an of men at the college.
As a result, parents are being
urged t is year to keep their children's
cars at home, in the case of out-of-
town students. And local students
are being urged to use public trans-
portation.
The parking problem on the campus
has become acute in the last several
years, and local police have found
the traffic in the campus area to be
extremely heavy.
In a letter to parents, President
Paul V. Sangren said: "We have
learned by experience that a car lends
to unnecessary expense, a great waste
of study time and frequently is found
to be at wie bottom of disciplinary
cases. We would like to recommend
that students should not bring their
cars to campus unleas they are com-
muters or need a car for other valid
reasons

Ultimatum On After Game Dances
The question of student dances after foot-
ball games has been answered by the Student
Legislature. The body passed, without dissent,
on the matter at last Wednesday's meeting, giving
the supervision of the dances up into the hands
of the Music Education club. The question is
answered; the problem is not yet solved. The
students here must do that.
Specifically speaking, there is nothing the
Music Education club, the SGA, the administra-
tion or anyone can do to continue these dances
without the student's help. Maybe the point is
being too strenuously stressed but we feel that
it is of enough importance to you to merit
emphasis.
Nothing has to be said about conduct. We
think the committee who will be chosen to keep
watch for unruly actions will be doing only their
duty if they take offenders outside and let it
be known that such is unwanted at East Carolina
College.
It is commendable that the Music Education
club wants to shoulder this responsibility. Let's
all help them make the dances successful.
From The Wilmington Daily Star:
Students, alumni and friends of East Caro-
lina College . . . should be pleased by the news
that it has surpassed Women's College in Greens-
boro in Fall term enrollment thus becomes the
third largest unit in the state-supported univer-
sity and college system for white students.
The tremendous advance of East Carolina
in the past few years may be credited to two
major factors.
One is growth, especially in the number
of high school graduates of its section.
The other is the well-planned and progres-
sive administration of Pres. John D. Messick.
During his years there, the college h?s
grown from one primarily interested in. educat-
ing teachers to a well-rounded institution. As
it has gone forward, its appeal to young people
has increased. This year it was forced to turn
away 250 applicants because rooms could not
be found for them in dormitories or homes in
Greenville.
What East Carolina has done should affect
favorably the next General Assembly's attitude
toward it. That should mean greater consid-
erations in appropriations, especially as to en-
largement of its plant. It is simply a case of
spending the state's dollars for higher educa-
tion at the place where they are needed most
and will return the largest good.
North Carolina educators should not ignore
the problem in curricula which the growth of
East Carolina can offer. Its constant climb nat-
urally increases demand for wider curricula and
that, in turn, heightens the threat of duplication
with academic functions of the three units, in
Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Greensboro, of the
Consolidated University.
Meanwhile, East Carolina is to be congra-
tulated. Its growth is the best evidence of its
service to the young people of this part of the
state.
Pick Up Your Own Trash
Four and a half weeks of school
are already gone. It doesn't seem pos-
sible, does it? Time always passes
that way. And we wonder how many
of you have a feeling that you never
get enough accomplished?
Referring to the old gripe of never
having enough time to get things
done, we are reminded of something
a psychology professor said to a
class here on campus last summer.
"The people who are always com-
plaining about lack of time are not
nearly so rushed as those who go
ahead with their work without stop-
ping to complain Do you agree?
The Humanities Committee which
brought to the students last year a
couple of very informative sympo-
siums on literary periods, met re-
cently to discuss continuing their
work. The work they did last year was
responsible for a good bit of enlight-
enment among the students. We hope
their decision will be to continue
bringing programs like the sympo-
siums. It is our opinion that a good
bit of cultural promotion is needed
on this campus.
Again we are sorry to say that a
letter was submitted to us for pub-
lication which we had to lay aside
because the writer neglected to sign
his name. We want letters to the
editor but can print only those that
are signed by the time we go to press.
We cannot accept the responsibility
for things said in every letter written
to the editor; that is our reason for
not printing letters if we don't know
who wrote them. We will withhold
the names from publication, however,
as long as our office has the original
copy of the letter, signed by its writer.
Back to the letter we received last
week. We are anxious to print it
if its writer will identify himself.
Countless numbers of times we have
been asked why we don't put copies
of the paper in the mailboxes of the
staff members on campus. As far as
we know, that is not our iesponsibili-
ty. We have no circulation manager
at present, and if we had one, we feel
that putting the papers in the mail-
boxes would be infringing upon the
rights of the Post Office Department.
On several occasions in the past,
that department has accepted the re-
sponsibility of seeing to it that the
faculty and staff members get their
papers through the post office. We
would be glad to put the number of
papers necessary at the disposal of
the post office if they wished to take
up the project this year. Other than
that, there is little else that we can
do.
Students around here seemingly
never learn to tamper with what
belongs to them and leave school
properly alone. There isn't much to
say in the way of explanation, either
abuse of school property seems a
favorite activity among some groups

Our outstanding student on campus
this week is Raby Edwards. Raby not
only attends college in Greenville,
but 'hangs his hat' here as well.
After spending two quarters here
his freshman year, Raby joined the U.
S. Coast Guard and held the rank of
Yeoman when discharged. He .spent
his entire two years in the service
stationed off the east coast. For
awhile the ship was docked near New
York City and he said he went into
"The Big City" quite often. But Raby
wouldn't disclose any "Sea-Stores
When Raby returned to the campus
he immediately became quite active
in various organizations. He was
Vice-president of the Canterbury
Club and served on the Inter-Re-
ligious Council. He also joined te
Young Democrats Club and the Vet-
erans Club.
During his junior year, Raby held on the Dean's list several times,
the office of President of the Canter-
bury Club and was a member of Sigma
Phi Alpha Fraternity, and Circle K.
This year Raby is president of the
Circle K Club, and said, "I feel it Canterbury

Controversial Currents
The Flag At ECC
Letters To The Editor
Is this a college campus or a garbage
heap! Sometimes it makes you wonder! Students
old enough to accept the academic responsibil-
ities of college, should also be old enough to con-
duct themselves as college men and women. We
should be proud of our campus, but how can
we when it is literally strown with cups, paper
and other trash. Those that are guilty of clut-
tering up the campus should take heed. We
have done enough talking, in fact it is a shame
that another editorial must be written on this
subject.
Last year the SGA alloted a certain amount
of money for the sole purpose of installing trash
hampers around the campus, how about using
them? Lets don't wait for the other fellow to
pick up, why don't you yourself take the lead
and thus make East Carolina the neat, beauti-
ful, and attractive college that it was when you
came here.
Lets not live in a garbage heap, but instead
clean up your school and at the same time you
will be cleaning up your environment.
here.
For example, look at the cigarette
burns on a couple of tables in the
Student Union. One day this week
a member of the music faculty found
that someone had been tampering
with the radio phonograph combi-
nation in her classroom. You wouldn't
leave your own radio switched on
with no volume, would you?
A Kood policy for all of us to follow
would be using a little more care
and being a little more considerate.
The Circle K Variety Show staged
here last week was well attended and
well enjoyed. The Circle K is, in our
opinion, one of the best clubs on cam-
pus, in every respect. Raby Edwards,
president of the organization will be
glad to explain its functions to any-
one interested.
Speaking of variety shows, the
"East Carolinian" is planning its
annual talent show for next week.
Hopes are high among the staff mem-
bers for a better show this year and '
a good attendance. Roy Askew, Eli
zabeth City, and Anne George, Rich-
mond, are in charge of the presenta-
tion.
Dr. Posey of the English depart-
ment has his own unique explanation
of why babies cry at birth. He said
in a class discussion this week that
infants have a right to scream for
when they enter this cruel world
they find themselves immediately sad-
dled with thousands of dollars of
debts. Dr. Posey was referring to the
I huge national debt of the country.
The professor said he was born in
a state which is spelled with the same
letters as "taxes only the letters
"a" and "e" are in different positions.
You guessed it, he comes from Texas.

two of three letters received by our
office this week. We cannot print
the third because it was left unsigned.
The policy of the paper is to withhold
names from letters to the editor,
but only as long as we know who

Dear Editor,
Are the clubs, fraternities, and
other student organizations on this
campus for the edification and en-
tertainment of the students or for
the personal satisfaction of the fac-
ulty and administration.
As I look around the campus at
the various clubs and organizations,
all I can see is faculty members.
It appears that they have stifled or
are in the process of stifling every
campus organization on the campus.
There are a few large organizations
on the campus which enjoy large
attendance by the students (.also
large Faculty attendance) but this

slighest desire nor the intention of
attending another. Evidently I am
not alone. If you will note that a
very small minority of the student
body is a member of any campus or-
ganization whatsoever.
As you have probably already
guessed, I am sick and tired of see-
ing the faculty and administration
members FORCE themselves on the
students and their activities. I have
talked to many of the faculty mem-
bers and students alike concerning
this matter and all of them hav?
agreed with me.
I have heard many times that the
IQ of East Carolina students is
below the national average. Maybe
this is the reason the faculty and
administration feel we should be so
closely guarded.
What il would like to see is for
large attendance appears to be due ; the faculty and the administration
Why should they haunt us?
I fully realize that supervision is
necessary, but we do not have to be
treated like a bunch of juvenile
delinquents in the process. We need
no MKVD here at East Carolina:
Just a plain old FBi'i is good enough.

Dear Editor:
After seeing the flag flown in the
morning, and taken down in the even-
ing, we think it is a shame the way
the flag Is handled by the attendants.
The way it is folded and handled
could be improved. We suggest there
be a Sergeant-at-Arms on the cam-
pus. Notice thus yourself and form
your own opinion.

new physicians, Dr. Watters and Dr.
Adams, head the infirmary staff of
doctors, along with Dr. Fred Irons.
Miss Gra- Outland, superintendent
of the infirmary, reports that there
have been several unusual incidents
since the beginning of the fall quart-
er. She declared that one night about
10 p. m some boys came into the In-
firmary and one of them wanted to

It seems that he had hurt it that

but firmly reminded that the doctor

How many times have you passed by I

that is torn and dirty and thought to yours
that flag belongs in the ground? Or have j
looked up and didn't see anything wrong with
it. As we all know Betsy Ross, supposedly mi
the American flag, but not with ragged edg
By the looks of the flag that stands in froi
of the Austin building the V. S. would not ra
to high. Not only are the edges ragged, but
is also dirty. Tradition calls for a flag to
buried when it becomes torn or soiled.
To give you a rundown on the history
the flag let's start with the resolution pas
by the American Congress on June 14, 1777.
"That the flag of the Thirteen United States
shall be thirteen stripes, alternate white and red,
and that the union be thirteen white stars on
a blue field With this resolution a new national
emblem had its birth, one destined to become the
flag of one of the greatest nations in history.
The first flag is said to have been made bv Mrs.
Elizabeth Ross, (Betsy Ross) 239 Arch Street,
Philadelphia. The Betsy Ross flag had the stars
arranged in a circle and as now, the stars were
five pointed. The Fench navy saluted the Ameri-
can flag February 14, 1778, when it floated from
the mast of the Ranger, commanded bv John
Paul Jones.
The first recorded naval engagement and
the flag was between the Ranger and Dra
April 24, 1778.
The first time the colors were unfurled over
a foreign country was when Captain Rathburne
took possession of Fort Nassau, New Providence
Island. February 6, 1783, is the first recorded
date when the American colors were first shown
in a British port. This took place in London when
the ship Bedford of Nantucket, reported at the
custom house.
The Stars and Stripes were associated with
all the glory of the last days of the Revolution
and this is probably where the term "oid glory"
originated.
When the war of 1812 came along the flag
was boasting fifteen stars and stripes having
increased by an act of Congress on the admission
of ermont and Kentucky, 1795. On the admis-
sion of Indiana in 1816, a committee was appoint-
ed to inquire what changes were necessary to be
made. At the suggestion of Captain S. C. Reid
the number of stripes was reduced to the origin-
al thirteen, and the stars increased to represent
the number of states.
On April 4. 1818, Congress acted on this
suggestion, and the present status of the flag
was fixed.
It was also resolved on that date that on
the admission of every new state one star be
added to the union of the flag, and that such
additions shall take effect on the 4th of Julv
next succeeding such admission.
Congress passed the first resolution re-
specting the flag on June 14, 1777 while sitting
in Philadelphia. Today this date June 14, is
observed throughout the nation as Flag Day.
The next time you pass by the Austin build-
ing look up and see this torn and dirty flag and
answer this question. Does a flag in this condition
representing a nation as great as the United
States, with such a historical background belong
on a mast overlooking ECC?

the wake of a surprising number of
the squabble which arose recently af-
ter Washington & Lee decided to do
av;iy with the gridiron game entire-
ly. Charges and countercharges came
out of the decision by the Lexington, Burlington
Va. school with the net result that
many of the alumni now have a
mighty low opinion of some of the
faculty and the faculty members in
turn wonder just what worth some
former students ever got out of at-
tending Washington & Lee.
Sports Illustrated is right in much
that it says with regard to small
college football. Too often, as we at
East Carolina know, a relatively un-
known football squad is not given
its proper laurels. And yet, Sports
Illustrated may have missed the
point in one respect.

ITS
TOASTED
to taste better!
Doubtless, you've guessed that the Droodle
at the right is: Careless two-gun cowboy
enjoying better-tasting Lucky while wait-
ing in ambush. Lots of other two-gun cow-
boys?and many millions of no-gun folks-
agree that Luckies taste better. Students,
for example, prefer Luckies to all other
brands, according to the latest, biggest
coast-to-coast college survey. Once again,
the No. 1 reason is that Luckies taste
better. They taste better because Lucky
Strike is the cigarette of fine tobacco . . .
and "Its Toasted" to taste better. "Ifs
Toasted"?the famous Lucky Strike proc-
ess?tones up Luckies' light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco to make it taste even
better. So, enjoy the better-tasting ciga-
rette . . . Lucky Strike.
