Geography Department
P)n� Orcranization
Of New Fraternity
Geography majors and minors will
January 31 at seven o'clock in
Flanagan 213 to organize a chapter
of Gamma Theta Upsilon, national
fessional geography fraternity.
Gamma Theta Upsilon came into
existence in 1928 and now includes
28 chapters in teachers colleges, 26
ptere in liberal arts colleges and
ne in Mexico City College. To date
there are 5560 members of the or-
ruzation. The purposes of the fra-
ternity are to furfcner profesional in-
� in geography by affording a
. nmon organization for those in-
ted, to strengthen student and
rotfessiona! training on the subject,
advance the professional status of
graph; as a cultural study and
illy to create and administer a
fund for furthering study in that
according to spokesmen from
the East Carolina geography depart-
aent.
Qualifications for membership in
the organization are completion or
nine hours in geography, intentions
f completing 18 hours in the subject
: a scholastic average of a three
geography.
Co-ordinator of Public Relations
seems to be the suitable title for Dr.
Edward J. Carter who is the director
of the Division of Field Services and
in charge of interesting students in
attending East Caxolina College.
The Division of Field Services is
in charge of all off camDus teaching.
It is the purpose of Dr. Carter's
office to center this teaching as far
away from the campu6 as is conven-
ient for the faculty. Teachers attend
these classes to renew their certifi-
cate, work on a Master's degree, and
often times they are completing a
four year college course. "Most of
our studnts are working people al-
ready out in their various fields
remarks Dr. Carter.
During the fall quarter, Dr. Eve
Williamson taught a class at Wil-
mington. N. C. and had an enroll-
ment of 38 teachers. Dr. Caster says,
"The extension bureau strives to car-
ry the college to people who cannot
for various reasons come to East
Carolina College At present there
are nine classes which are being op-
erated this quarter. Forty to fifty
classes function each year.
Dr. Carter adds that "One of the
most interesting phases of the exten-
sion work is being carried on at Camp
Lejeune. This fall two freshman cour-
ses, English grammar and beginning
accounting, were taught at Camp Le-
jeune. The enrollment increased to
such an extent that beginning the
SLring quarter nine freshman classes
will be taught, four on Tuesday ndght
tourists to California and the Great
Pacific Northwest.
Dr. Carter received his A.B. degree
at Lenoir Bhyne and received Mas-
ter's and Ph. D. at the University of
North Carolina. He came to East
Carolina College in 1950 from Murray
State College in Kentucky where he
was head of the education depart-
meni. Dr. Cartel is a native Tarheel.

Annual Editor
Says 1955 Book
Gone To Press
by Anne George
The 1955 "Buccaneer" was sent off
January 19 to the printers and is
expected to be back by the first of
May, according to Jane Kanoy, this
year's editor of the book.
This year the annual will be print-
ed by the Pargon Press, Montgomery,
Alai ama. The Lassiter Corporation,
Charlotte, North Carolina, printed the
annual last year. Besides a change
in printers, it seems there will aLo
be many other 'surprises" in the
annual this year, although it is hard
to predict anything now. for the
annual staff seems to have been
doing all its work behind "closed
doors
Pr partitions for this year's annual
were begun, last spring, when several
of the pictures were taken. This past
summer Jane met with a representa-
tive from the Paragon Press to dis-
cuss the plans and at this time she
began drawing it up. Since September
the annual staff has been hard at
work in the continuous process of
taking pictures, drawing ulp the vari-
ous pages, planning the advertise-
ments, srA doing all the other vital
things that go into the preparation
of an annual.
Jane Kanoy said, "The staff has
been outstanding in the work and
eJ'ort they have put forth
The major staff of the annual is
composed of Lannie Crocker, asso-
ciate editor, Mildred Reynolds, busi-
ness manager, Billy Glover, assistant
busiress manager, and C. L. Perkins,
photographer. C. L. Perkins is not
a student at East Carolina College.
At the present time he is ennployed
at the local television station. There
are approximately 35 to 40 more ac-
tive members on the annual staff this
year.
Well now that it is all over, how
do you feel, Jane? "All I hope ie
that everyone will enjoy it she said
I with a sigh.

Editorial Comment
A Gripe Before A Change
by Guest Writer Donald A. King
The people of America once fought a war
with the British Empire. It was fought on this
continent and, luckily enough, we won. If meas-
ured by today's standards, it could hardly be
caufcd a war, and you would have to be pretty
m.ajaiative to uignify it with the expression
'�iiiiwa oi' skirmishes But nevertheless people
. k. sluxrt at each other, suffer many hardships,
.aA even die because of it.
ii was fought because the people of this
country thought, and rightly so, that they were
mj unposeu upon by the British. They were
being taxed exorbitantly, and governed ridgidly,
WitnuUi having a voice in that government. They
engaged in this war and won it so that they could
be free, both privately and publicly, so that they
could live without fear and without tyranny, in
exactly the manner they desired. This, in my
opinion is as good a reason as you may find
lor making war. But, by getting rid of the gov-
ernment they had, these good people naturally
had to replace it with another, and in doing so,
they spawned what is today the most powerful,
the richest, the most feared government in the
world, barring perhaps one.
lhat government that we have today is un-
doubtedly the most expensive and probably the
least efficient existing in this world of many
governments today. And, somehow or other, I
don't think that the people who gave birth to it
would be at all pleased with the way it has turned
out. Supposedly, they made it the way they wanted
it, and we have changed it so that it is the way
we want it. That may be so, but sometimes I won-
der. I've never yet seen a man who was happy
over the fact that he spent from one-fifth to
one-fourth of his working time making money
which went directly to the government, and about
one-fourth more of his total time making money
which went for other taxes, either direct or in-
direct. Then too, our government has taken prac-
tically all the initiative away from its people with
its decidely socialistic trend of the past two and
one-half decades. No, I'm not at all sure that the
Americans of the Revolutionary War would be
happy with our government today and if I have
to be a conservative about our form of govern-
ment in general, that's exactly what I'll do.
No! No! Please don't tell me I should be
satisfied just because I'm living in the best coun-
try in the world. I know that, but you can't find
a single sensible reason for not trying to make
it better.
Student Speaks On Religion
On a return trip from Raleigh to
Greenville last weekend, we shared a
rery i.iterttinjr experience with sev-
eral other East Carolina students.
e wore riding a bus and each mile
be Greerorille seemed longer than usu-
.1 w en an oddly dressed fellow sit-
ting on the front seat began to talk
luite freely about his work. He told
us that he was psychic, but as he
continued his spiel, we began to won-
der w at his definition of that word
was.
lie wa really a sort of modified
fortune teller who claimed to have
the abilities of mental telepathy. He
was t e sort of character you find
nt a carnival who looks at your
handwriting and asks your birthdate
and name as a preliminary to relating
�i story of your liffe. A couple of us
who couldn't remember that curiosity
killed the cat bit. What amazed us
is that the fellow, who had certainly
never contacted any of us before and
had no reason to know anything
ihout u oily missed about five per
ent on his revelations. The country
preacher at home would probably say
he had sold his soul to the devil to
become psychic
A great many of the students here
have turned out for the meetings be-
ing held this week in connection with
Religious Emphasis Week. Others
have been too busy or too disinter-
i ted to attend the sessions. Those
who are going are reporting that
much is to e derived from just a
little interest.
Religious Emphasis Week is given
much sin; port from the church groups
here. Yet it seems that the mass of
us have left the situation to be han-
dled by the few who are vitally in-
Each of us would do well
n religion; the wisest men
in t e world almost unanimously
agree that man cannot function nor-
mally without faith in a religion of
some sort. We doubt that there are
any atheists at East Carolina. Most
of us are inclined to he religious,
according to statistics tabulated after
registration Fall quarter which show-
ed that 98 per cent o.f the students
listed a church preference. All of us
could do a little more to support the
c urch of our preference. What's the
purpose in believing in something if
we don't do at least a minimum to-
wr.rd rurthering its cause?
"The guy trat deals with all the
appropriations" is our "Who's Who"
for the week. If the above statement
does not clearly identify him, he is
Howard Rooks, who is treasurer of
our Student Government Association.
As treasurer of the SGA, Howard
conducts the financial transactions of
the student fund. This position auto-
matically makes him Chairman of
the Budget Committee.
Last year Howard served as As-
isistant Treasurer and was also a
member of the Budget Committee. In
commenting on his position, Howard
paid. "I always stay broke. After
handling so much money for other
r eople, I put no value on my own
He adds to this comment that he
r elieves in being conservative�such
as allowing 76c a meal! (This should
bring back a few recollections to
members of the student legislature.)
For the past two years Howard
has held a seat on the legislature
and he says, "I have thoroughly en-
joyed it and I think you get a good
understanding in politics, especially
after the last few meetings and the
convention which was held in Ra-
leigh. At the State Student Legisla-
ture which was held in Raleigh this
past year. Howard was one of East
Carolina's representatives. Howard
summarized this assembly by saying,
"There were a lot of meetings to at-
tend, a lot of socializing to enjoy and
you got very little sleep. Even under
this strain it was one of the most
relaxing and most enjoyable experi-
ences of my life

cause he wanted to be a teacher and
he thought this was a good teacher's
college. Now that he has been here
for four years he can very well ex-
press his opinion of the school. How-
ard says, "I am very happy with the
way the school is growing and look
forward to seeing its continued prog-
ress in future years
At present, Howard is doing his
practice teaching. A business major,
he is teaching bookkeeping and
shorthand in Washington. He was
quick in making the following com-
ment, "Ive never had so much fun
in my life
Aside from his studies and SGA
duties Howard also finds time to
take an active role in several campus
organizations. He has been a member
of the FBLA for four years. Last
year he served as treasurer of this
organization, while this year he takes
the i osktion of vice-president.
For thrve years Howard has been
a member of the .Pi Omega Pi, which
i t. National Business Education
Fraternity. These two organizations
have done a lot to enrich Howards
experiences. He stated, "FBLA and
Pi Omtga Pi have been especially
beneficial to me because they help me
to get to know many of the business
students and because they foster the
highest professional ethics and a bet-
ter understanding of the business-
world
This active fellow is also a member
of the Circle K and Phi Sigma Pi
'n his o.inion these two organiza-
tions are two of the leading men's
organizations on campus. Howard
rfays, "I especially enjoy the fellow-
ship derived from these fraternal or-
ganizations
His greatest honors while

in col-
e are that of treasurer of the SGA
and being chosen for "Who's Who
Among American Colleges and Uni-
versities
Howard enjoys dancing, popular
music, and parties. He also enjoys
the Student Union. Baskets all proves
to be his favorite sport.
As for future plans Howard is
thinking about applying for O.C.S.
in the Coast Guard. After that he h
planning to teach and work on his
Master's degree.
Howard, who will graduate in Febr-
uary, will surely be missed at ECC.
With his abilities we are sure he
will be a success in lttfe.

AROUND THE CAMPUS
with Jimmy FerrsD
by Jerry Register
"What's new?" This is the question we all
ask sometimes. What is new? Well, not much
around here this day and time, you say.
But we will tell you something that if not
new is current. "Religious Emphasis Week" is
current. It is too bad that we have only a week
for "Religious Emphasis" when we should em-
phasize our spiritual background all year long.
Why couldn't we have a "Religious Emphasis
Year?" It seems to us that that would be better
than just a week.
This nation has been under God a long time.
Ever since we founded it, it has been under God.
So why couldn't we emphasize our spiritual foun-
dation the whole year long? We ought to recognize
that it was God who put us here and no one else.
So, why do we emphasize our spiritual affiliation
with God for only a week at a time?
It seems to us that we are getting farther
away from God. We seem to have put Him in the
last generation. We seem to say sometimes that
He was all right for Mom and Pop, but He is not
"gone" enough for us. We seem to be living in
such a fast age that we can't, or don't slow down
enough for Him to catch up. Don't worry about
that�He is way ahead of you any time you want
to find Him. In other words, He might have to
slow up for you.
God isn't someone Who comes in and goes
out of style. He has been in style far longer than
anything else, and will be far longer than the
memory of you will hover over this old world. He
"has been, is, and will be You are only "is
It seems to us that you should emphasize
your Maker more than just one week out of the
year. But you will say, "We don't have time to
do that all the time or "How could we do that?"
It doesn't take much time to recognize Him for
what He is, and you for what you are. In just a
twinkling of an eye you can do it if you want to.
"Religious Emphasis Week is used just as a
reminder that you should emphasize the whole
year religiously. You can do it in school, in the general
church and in the home. But the main thing is to In b
DO IT.
I: is a shams more students here
hm't want to vote in the campus-wide
elections. The reports show that most
students don't care what happens
around campus; if they did, more than
:00 out of 2450 students would get
around to voting. We would be willing
to put a good wager on the fact that
those who neglect or forget to vote
now would be the first to start grip-
ing if the opportunity to do .so was
taken away from them.
It is the duty of a Kood campus
citizen to vote. Many say they don't
vote because they don't even know
what is being voted on. We "believe
that the fault lies again with the
students. The newspaper carries in-
formation on all campus elections and
tlhe public address system in the
dining hall is used frequently to
broadcast news of elections before
and on the days they are held.
An election is being held next week.
The ?iewspaper makes mention of its
purpose elsewhere. Find out what
it is all about and vote!
And It Snowed!
Just bofore the Christmas holidays
everybody was singing Irving Berlin's
popular song and hoping for a white

Meet Miss Mendenhall
'f you haven't met Miss Cynthia
Menden all, director of recreation at
the Student Union, you should make
it a point to do so. You'll meet a very
fine lady.
The friendly director from Ashe-
boro attended WC of UNC, Carolina,
and one summer at the University of
Colorado. She has a degree in rec-
reation from Carolina.
She thoroughly enjoys her work at
the Student Union. "Ping pong, card
games, chess, and checkers are popu-
lar; and scrabble has been in demand
since Christmas she said.
According to Miss Mendenhall the
World Series, wrestling, Perry Como,
and Ed Sullivan draw the largest
crowds to the TV set.

All who saw the East Carolina

Student Writes About
Playhouse Production
Campus Couple Of The Week
National arid international news
headlines give us cause to wonder if
Russia has achieved her goal again
by getting us involved in anotiher
anti-Communist war with the Chi-
nese Reds. We agree with the opin-
ion thit Russia is going on a strong
lap o' a journey to break capitalistic
countries financially. She has her
eye primarily on the United States.
T�f and when she does succeed in emp-
tying our vaults, she will have a
comparatively easy time purging us
of oar capitalistic ideas and thrusting
1 er own communistic doctrine down
our starving throats.
We aren't proposing isolationist
ies. But all the time we are
spending and spending, Rus-sda is cut-
ting expenses. What to do is up to
the big wheels who handle our for-
eign affairs. And they probably don't
know what to do either.

The East Carolina Playhouse pre-
sent! d "The Devil's Disciple" by
George Bernard Shaw Wednesday
and Thursday nights of last week
'�n the College Theatre on East Caro-
lina campus.
In my opinion, the production as a
whole was well presented but in
every play you have good and bad
points.
Act 1�The stage was dimly lit
I realize that it was supposed to be
very dreary and in the wee hours
of the morning, but one candle plus
a fireplace would glow more than
that.
Those resonant sounding voices and
the well-planned grouping of the
people who appeared on the stage
added to the success of the play.
Another noticeable thing was a
slig. t pause alfter one person would
stop speaking before another would
begin. The best actors and actresses
watch this and pick up cues before
the closing word of the previous
speaker.
The snappy moving scene in Act 3
was well done. It stirred the morals
of the audience.
Mrs. Dudgeon, remember you are
very old and feeble, you can't walk
fast, so you better watch your rapid
"wheeling" around and your rapid
walking.
Esde was so innocent and she real-
ly made our hearts bleed. The part
was well played by Marion Evans.
The (part of Richard Dudgeon was
superbly played by Al Carr. He im-
pressed me as really "living" his
part.
There were a few technical diffi-
culties such as the operation of the
curtain in the fainting scene that
were "quite noticeable.
Other than the weak points that
I have mentioned above, I feel that
a good job was done. I know that
there was much hard, tedious work
put into the play production and you
all deserve individual recognition. So
speaking for the students of East
Carolina, three cheers for the entire
cast of "The Devil's Disciple

Letters To The Editors
girls, spies, and burnoosed and tur-
banned fighting men. But the picture
seems unable to make op its mind
whether to .play it straight or kid you
through the whole thing.
To the editor:
I have heard much talk about cam-
pus concerning the formation of (fra-
ternities with fraternity houses. I
Relieve that the founding of these
at East Carolina, if given a chance,
would be a great asset to the college.
Very often on weekends there is
little to attend in the form of rec-
reation. It is true, of course, that if
more students attended the functions
we are priveleged to have, a larger
program would probably be afforded.
As it is, the recreation program Is
retarded by the non-support of the
student body. Fraternities would
eliminate, even if only for a small
percentage, this problem erf enter-
tainment because their members
could give dances and parties. Also,
since a fraternity house could sleep
fifty to sixty boys, they could supple-
ment, to some extent, the college
facilities for rooming.
A majority of schools in the aa-
tion allow fraternities. It is my opin-
ion that so long as EOC remains
without them, it will net have taken
advantage of all possible prestige
with the public�and as we all know,
it is a state-supported school, the
state being supported by the public!
These are but a few of the many
advantages that could be listed.
Thank you,
D. D. Hobgood, Jr.
(Editor's note: We think it is safe
to say that one of the major reasons
we do not have social fraternities
or sororities here is that the Board
of Trustees of the college recently
went on record as opposing them.
Mr. Hobgood has, we believe, many
sympathizers with his views; on the
other hand, there are many among
the student body who do not want
social fraternities or sororities at
East Carolina. Other past correspor4 -
ence to our office on the subject have
stated both views.)
Last Chance For Rings
Class rings may be ordered
on Wednesday, February 2,
from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the
lobby of the Student Union,
says Louis Singleton, chair-
man of the Ring Committee.
Only Juniors and seniors
may order rings and & five
dollar deposit is required.
Singleton reported that this
will bo the last opportunity
for the seniors to order rings
tarn yaw.
Behind closed doors on campus last week, a
committee of faculty and students conferred the
title of Miss and Mr. Representative Student
Teacher of 1955 upon two lucky seniors. In ac-
cepting this honor, these students will represent
East Carolina at the state convention o f the
North Carolina Education Association when it
meets in Asheville in March.
We feel that it is a great achievement to
receive this title, and in order to acquaint our
readers with a more thorough knowledge of the
Representative Student Teacher project, we will
attempt to answer three major question: How
did the project originate? How are the represent-
ative student teachers selected? Who is eligible
for selection?
The idea for the project originated in the
November, 1949. meeting of the NCEA, at which
time Dr. B. G. Childs of Duke University propos-
ed the selection of a Representative Student
Teacher from each teacher-training instituti n in
the state. Each spring, these student teachers
would represent their school at the state nun ting.
The underlying purpose of this proposal was to
publicize the positive side of teaching. Wrhen the
measure was adopted by the NCEA, it was placed
under joint sponsorship of the Division of Higher
Education and the Division of Future Teachers
of America. Later, the F.T.A. assumed full re
sponsibility of the project, and continues to han-
dle it.
The procedure for selection begins with the
appointment of the faculty-student committee.
The college dean appoints the faculty members,
while the student committee members are ap-
pointed by the SGA president. Each department
supervisor may submit one nomination to this
c mmittee, which interviews the nominees, after
careful examination of all available records and
data. Then the committee elects a Mr. and Miss
Representative Student Teacher an dan alternate
for each. Selection is based on a rigid critera of
personal qualities, understanding youth and prin-
ciples of teaching, professional competencies, and
professional attitudes. Considering the qualifica-
tions, we deem it indeed an honor to be chosen
for this position.
The Miss and Mr. Representative Student
Teacher project is just one more uplifting worK
on the part of the Future Teachers of America-
For the efforts of the organization in this ana
various other educational projects, we are proua
of our local Robert H. Wright Chapter. Under the
strong guidance of Miss Emma L. Hooper of the
English department, this organization is ac"
ing big things for the college. It is an asset botn
to its members and East Carolina.

Pirates And Cats
Here Friday Night
In Return Match
Coach Howard Porter's East Caro-

ment here this Saturday night with
their sister school from the other
iiide of the state, Western Carolina.
The 1954-55 stanza of the family
feud was touched off Monday night
a week ago in Che cold hills of Cul-
lowhee. The Buck took that game
with comparative ease, 80-67. Don
Harris provided the most pain for
the Catamounts by dumping 20 points.
The Pirate wfoo helped out the most
was Carvel (Nick) Nichols, who also
contributed 20 counts.
Now, with Western Carolina on the
Pirates' home court arid vengearwe-
-ent for victory, there's liable to be
'ireworks. The Bucs haven't tasted
defeat in Memorial Gym since the
dedication game with UNC in 1952.
Ceach Jim Grudger, who is the
Huchem at Western Carolina, has been
having his troubles in big chunks this
-eason. First, he lost Boh Ray and
Randell Shields, two tcp-notch (lay-
ers, and then Jim Jordan and Dwaine

has � atched up his club and fields

The Christian's record within the

Plans Being Made
For Tennis Team
Plans are now being made for the
inauguration of the 1955 edition of
East Carolina's tennis team. The
team will be under the guidance of a
new coach. Ray Martinez, East Caro-
lina's latest addition to its coaching
sta-flf, will succeed Howard Porter,
who has coached the team for the
past four years. Martinez, who hails j
from New Orleans, La also coaches
the East Carolina swimming team.
There is a possibility of a larger
schedule this season and practice will
get underway within the next two
weeks, according1 to Martinez. A com-
plete schedule will be announced lat-
er.
Last year's squad possessed a 3-2
conTerence record and a 3 and 6 over-
all mark. Only two lettermen will
return from last year's team. Frazier
Bruton and J. W. Browning, seniors
from Kinston and Enfield, respective-
ly, are the only returning racqueteers.
Bruton has had three years varsity
experience and Browning has had

A STUDENT'S BEST FRIEND is Lucky
Strike. At any rate, the greatest,
up-to-datest college survey shows
that college smokers prefer
Luckies to all other brands�and
by a wide margin. Once again,
the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste
better. They tast better, first of
all, because Lucky Strike means
fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco
is toasted to taste better. "It's
Toasted"�the famous Lucky
Strike process�tones up Luckies'
light, good-tasting tobacco to
make it taste even better. Luckies
taste better anywhere, any time,
as illustrated in the Droodle

Don King reported to the legisla-

Prewett in connection with an Awards

to him tihat he had sent out ques-
tionnaires to SO colleges throughout
the state. Twenty-two colleges re-

and eight declared that they had no
such program.
