Dr. John D. Messick.
Enrollment has constantly increas-
ed at East Carolina s;nce 1947. This
year's enrollment of approximately!
2700 students on the campus and
more than (00 in extension classes
pit sent, a .sharp contrast to the "104
females and 19 males" who began
tl eir studies on October 5, 1909, and
to the approximately 1400 who were
enrolled in 1947.
Six buildings were ready for use
by the first students. In 1947 there
were twe.nty-4.wo. Recent additions to j
the physical plant include the Joyner
Library, Erwin Hall. Slay Hall for
men, the Memorial Gymnasium, an
auditorium and gymnasium for the
Wahl-Coates Laboratory School, the
Adelaide E. Bloxton Home Manage-
ment House, a stadium on the ath-
letic field, a home for the college
president, a warehouse and mainte-
nance building, and the Y Hut for
student religious services.
Now under construction are Wil-
liam B. Umstead Hall for men and
K. M. Garret Hall for women, stu-

college in meeting an acute housing

Improvements are being made con-
.stantly around our campus. At the
SGA meeting on February 16 another
major improvement got underway
when the legislature appropriated
money for Cinemascope movie equip-
ment for our weekly movies. The
type movies as well as Cinemascope.
It was disclosed by James Butler,
Alumni Secretary and head of the
Entertainment Committee, that the!

A treasurer's report was given by
Howard Rooks, who resigned as
treasurer of the SGA due to gradua-
tion.
Billy Sharbor, who resigned as as-
sistant-treasurer, was automatically
made treaurer of the SGA. Robert
Frost, a sophomore, was appointed
by the legislature to fill the unex-
pired term of assistant-treasurer.
Due to the fact he will be staying
in Washington. N.C. to do his practice
teaching this quart'r, Owen Bessiliew,
chairman of the Points System Com-
mittee, gave up his seat on the legis-
lature. Upon Owen's suggestion, Ben
Wolverton, vice chairman of this com-
mittee, was given a seat on the leg-
islature.
Secretary Barbara Strickland was
instructed to write a letter to the
Maintenance Office inquiring into the
possibility of having coat racks plac-
ed in the lobby of Wright Auditorium.
At the February 23 meeting of the
legislature the Budget Committee
recommended to the body that $565
be appropriated to the May Day
Committee. After discussing the idea
t e legislature accepted the recom-
mendation.
Better training for young men and
women developed as the number of
studettta and the size of the plant
grew.
In its early years East Carolina
offered only one- and two-year cour-
ses. Nine subjects were taught the
first year. The college now has six-
teen departments of instruction, all
of which prepare teachers for work
in the public schools. In addition, a
unit of the Air Force ROTC provides
training for 203 young men.
A group of pre-professional cour-
ses enables students to take from one
to three years of work preparatory
to entering colleges giving full cur-
ricula in specialized fields.
The first degrees were granted in
1922. At present the college offers
three degrees?the bachelor of sci-
ence, for those who expect to teach;
the bachelor of arts; and the master
of arts in education.
East Carolina's Bureau of Field
Services began its work in 1947. Ex-
tension courses taught by members
of the college faculty are now being
offered in ten centers in the eastern
part of the state. The enrollment of
more than 700 students indicates
public interest in this educational
m st recent of these courses deaR
with public speaking and was attend-
ed by several state motor patrolmen
desirous of improving their abilities
a speakers on Safety-on-the-
Highrways programs.
Special education has in recent
years received increased emphasis,
and a number of North Carolina's
most successful teachers in this field
r. ceived their training at East Caro-
lina. The Reading Laboratory and
Clinic offers its services not only to
students o the campus but also to
teaciers and administrators in the
public schools who need help in solv-
ing the problems of their pupils.
Clinic for the hard of hearing and
for those wit. defects of sfpeeeh and
vision are held annually.
Since 1947 the college has expand-
ed its services to its students through
a Testing Bureau and through a
guidance and counseling program in
which all members of the faculty
participate.
As the curriculum ' a expanded,
the college has kept in the vanguard
of progress by using new methods
an 1 techniques in education. Radio
programs, with broadcasts scheduled
from various stations in Eastern
North Carolina, have been presented
t levision by presentln
course offered for credit in the entire
South. This initial course has been
followed by other, offered in the
winter and the spring quarters.
Since its major emphasis is on the
training of teachers, East Carolina is
proud of its record in supplying well-
trained personnel for the schools of
the state. Among the 494 graduates
of 1953-1954, a total of 458 were
qualified as teachers. Greait stress
has been placed in the past several
years on elementary education, and
the number of those being prepared
in this field of greatest scarcity of
teachers has show a marked in-
crease.
East Carolina College occupies a
position of prestige as a center of
culture and has provided a richer
life for people in its area of service.
its annual Entertainment Series
draws large audiences to see and hear
the best talent available today in
music, the drama, and the dance.
An Institute of World Affairs, an
annual event begun last year through
the efforts of Dr. Massick, brings to
the campus speakers of international
reputation. College musicians appear
on and off the campus in programs
of high merit; and student dramatic
productions, especially an annual
lay for school children, attract large
audiences.
Faculty and staff members are in
demand as speakers before civic, edu-
cational, and cultural organizations
and give generously of their time
and talent. Exhibitions and programs
of various types held on the campus
are open to the public, and off-cam-
ws gu sts are frequently present.
In many obvious and many subtle
ways, Uhe presence of a great insti-
tution of learning in an area means
an increase in both educational and
cultural advantages to the people;
and East Carolina means a better
! and fuller life for Eastern North
Carolina in particular and for the
state in general.

College Gets Outdoor Theatre
East Carolina College will have an
outdoor theatre for use in presenting
dramatic productions, band and or-
chestra concerts and choral programs
within the next few years, according
to a spokesman from the administra-
tion today.
Flanagan Building, which is used for
science and commercial instruction, is
already named in honor of Mr. Flana-
gan.
Mr. Flanagan was an outstanding
citizen, civic minded, an active church
Mrs. Rosa Flanagan has given the worker, and a strong advocate of edu-
college the sum of $10,000 for the
purpose of building this theatre. Mrs.
Flanagan made the gift in honor of
her late husband, E. G. Flanagan, of
Greenville, who was for many years
affiliated with the college in various
ways. He was an active member of
the board of trustees of the college
for several years. He was also a mem-
ber of the State legislature for several
years. One classroom building, the
cation. His friends ami acquaintances
say that his leadership was so pro-
jected that it will live long in many-
projects which he has sponsored.
The college is highly appreciative
of the generous act of Mrs. Flanagan
in making possible the outdoor thea-
tre which has been needed here for
a long time. The theatre will be
built in the wooded area of the col-
lege property near Cotanche Street.

Staff Welcomes Guests
The staff of the EAST CAROLINIAN takes
this opportunity to extend a welcome to our
guests on campus today. Especially to the mem-
bers of our state legislature, we extend our wishes
for a pleasant visit at East Carolina College. We
are honored by your attendance and feel that
you will enjoy your short stay with us. We feel
that you will see us as we are: we are proud of
the opportunities that the people of North Caro-
lina through you, have Riven us. and hope to
show you that we are taking advantage ot these
opportunities. ? fciHi
The staff of the newspaper is in New York
City attending a press convention sponsored by
Columbia University. We regret that we cannot
welcome you personally. Please feel free to come
into our offices in Austin Building. Files of our
newspaper are open to any visitor to our offices,
dating from 1926. when the paper was begun as
a regular publication, through the present date.
The certificates on the wall are only a few of
those we have received from various press asso-
ciations. Our primary goal is to present a student
new spap r that will reflect the interests of the
students and the college as a whole simultaneous-
ly-
Most of the students at East Carolina Col-
lege are preparing for public school teaching;
manv others, however, are getting a degree in
Liberal Arts. We have a good cross section of the
people of eastern America here, with students
from manv states and including several foreign
countries. "The students, as a group, are happy
and form an aggregate comparable to that of
most other large e liege student bodies. We find
pleasure in working with a faculty which is made
up essentially of amiable Ph.Ds and with an
administration and staff that we feel are trying
to work for our best interests.
If visitors to our campus see us as we really
are. we feel that we will have nothing to be
ashamed of. Within ourselves we are convinced
that i ur college is becoming one of the better
colleges in the nation, and we are ready to re-
spond to any added opportunities that may come
our way.
The new quarter begins and brings
with it a preview of the SGA elec-
tions which will be held March 17
and are probably the biggest event
of the Spring session outside com-
mencement. With election time com-
ing around again, this year's campus
big wheels are getting ready to re-
tire and assume the positions of ad-
visors to the '5656 who's who-
This retiring group deserves more
than the standing round of applause
they always get; they have been one
of the hardest working student leg-
islatures in the history of the college.
Some of the things they will be re-
membered for are the changes in the
judiciary by-laws, a giant appropria-
tion for new band uniforms and the
presentation of CinemaScope for cam-
pus movies. And from now until the
middle of April it will be safe to bet
that the group will keep on chugging
until the new legislature moves in.
Notes from the campaign head-
quarters: There is a need for can-
didates for several offices. At press
time the only nominee for president
of the SGA is Emo Boado, the foot-
ball great from Wilmington. Since
the paper won't be printed again
until the elections are too far under-
way, we wont run campaign adver-
tisements for any officers. The paper
usually stands neutral anyway. For
this issue, we can only say that we
hope to see a red hot campaign.
Deadline for filing for candidacy, by
the way, is March 10.

Revise Educational System?
How many students here can explain the
provisions of the American Constitution and the
Declaration of Independence? Going further,
how manv Americans can? The number is piti-
fully small. On the other hand, how many Rus-
sians can tell about the Russian system of gov-
ernment Chances are that every Russian above
the fifth grade level could explain the basics of
Communism. Of course, the reasoning is simple:
the Communists have instilled their propaganda
into their educational system.
Those are facts. The Russians, although only
a small percentage of them are members of the
Communist party, are under a socialistic Com-
munist regime which calls for the obliteration of
illiteracy among the people. Beginning in 1917,
the government took over the schools in Russia,
Via the publication circles, we
picked up the following bit of witti-
cism regarding the career of teach-
ing. It was first printed in the Texas
OUTLOOK, and is from the mother
of a graduate of a school of teacher
training:
Dear Superintendent:
I appreciate your kind offer of a
job for my girl, Mary. She had her
heart set on being a school teacher,
but I talked her out of it. Teaching
school is too much like bein' a preach-
er wife. It's a high callin but peo-
ple expect you to give more'n they
pay for.
You take the teachers here in
town. The only difference between
them and Christian martyrs is the
date and the lack of a bonfire. They
wore hired to teach and they do it.
They teach the younguns that learn
and they entertain the ones that fell
on their heads when they was little.
But that ain't enough, they're sup-
posed to make obedient little angels
out of spoiled brats that never mind-
ed nobody and to wetnurse little wild-
cats so their mothers can get a rest,
and make geniuses out of ehildren
that couldn't have no sense with the
parents they got nohow.
But that ain't the worst. They got
to get up shows and plays to work
the school out of debt, and to sing
in the choir and teach a Sunday
School class. And when they ain't
doin' nothing else, they're supposed
to be a good example.
They don't get no pay for three
months and they can't pay their
hoard and buy decent clothes which
the people expect to see them wear.
On top of everything else, they can't
hold hands comin' home from prayer
meetin' without some old gossipy
sister startin' a scandal on them.
I'd just as soon be a plow mule as
a teacher. A mule works just as
hard, but it can relieve its soul by
kickin' up its heels after qulttin'
time without startin' any talk. I ap-
preciate your kind offer and may the
Lord have mercy on you and your
teachers, but my daughter ain't in-
ter esrted.
Yours truly,
The man with the saxophone is our
Who's Who for the week. We are
talking about Jim Alexander who
really adds a lot to the wonderful
music of the Collegians. This young
man, who is a music major, hails
from Columbia, N. C.
East Carolina students must act
as good advertisement for the school
as most people give their friends at
East Carolina credit for their choice
of this college. Thus held true with
Jim. He says his visit to the school
on high school day also aided him in
making E.C.C. his choice. Now that
he is here, Jim is quick in giving
favorable comments. "I think it is
a fine school says Jim, "and I like
it so much mainly because of the
friendly atmosphere of the people
and the willingness of the professors
to work hand in hand with the stu-
dents
During his four years of college
he has been quite an active person?
especially in the field of music. For
four years tnt college band has had
access to his music ability. Last year
he served as president of the college
oant4. He has also been a member of
the college choir and the Varsity
Glee Club for three years.
Jim served as student director of
the Glee Club last year. The college
orchestra has taken up part of his
time for two years. His part with the
Collegians should certainly highlight
his music experiences. Jim acU as
business manager this year and he
gives favorable praise for this group.
"Having a chance to play in as good
a band as the Collegians should be
an honor for anyone and it certainly
has been for me remarked Jim.
For the past two years Jim has
held a seat on the S.G.A. Last year

We are watching the new dormitories grow
day by day. When the foundations were laid, the
foundations were also established for more stu-
dents to come to East Carolina College for as
education. These two new buildings have th
needed here a number of years, but even with
this additional space, EC is growing in appli-
cants faster than space is being made availal
for them. Let's take a quick glance at the hous
situation on campus.

AROUND THE CAMPUS
with Jimmy Ferrell
Just One Thing to Talk About!
This isn't a sport column, but the
talk "around campus" lately has been
about just one thing?the ACC-ECC
game of the 19th over in Wilson.
We got real lucky an i secured a
ticket Saturday afternoon. A friend
who had a ticket to the game decided
that he had rather see State and
Maryland battle it out.
The ticket situation down here was
really a mess, with around 1,000
students hunting down 7o tickets.
ACC claims that they can now seat
1,000 in their gym. Maybe they car
If so. what happened to the other
375 tickets? Why didn't they sell
them to the ECC students instead of
just anybody and everybody around
Wilson? Seems to us that the EC
students should have been next in
line after the AC students. And all
through the game there was always
the remark, "What's wrong. East
Carolina, we can't hear you And

dent body when they came down here.

ages of six to 21 to refuse the opportunities of
education. Even the institutions of higher educa-
tion are under the control of the government.
The Russians begin early to teach their youth the
basics of Communism. They are taught to read
and write through the symbols of government.
What do we do here, in our educational sys-
tems, to further the democratic theory? It is true
that we are taught American history with bias
to promote patriotism. Children are taught the
virtues of the Fathers of the country; for exam-
p'e, George Washington never told a lie, accord-
ing- tc our brothers and sisters in the primary
jr rdes. Throughout high school we still salute
1 e flag. When we get to college we are required,
in North Carolina, to take a course in the basics
of American Government. As adults, Americans
know little or nothing about the actual documents
that provide us with our freedom. Out of the
members of one chapter of the DAR, who should
know as much about the American Constitution
as any citizens of the country, three out of over
100 had actually read that document.
We are not advocating radical changes in
the American educational system. Thomas Jef-
ferson, however, said that a change in govern-
mental policy should be made with every genera-
tion to meet the needs of those whom it is to
serve. There is a definite need for further edu-
cation of our citizenry on the essential principles
of our form of government. We cannot promote
the growth of something of which we know noth-
ing about.

Letters To Editor
Dear Editor:
Considerable confusion seems to
have arisen over an expression of
opinion recently attributed to me, to
the effect that 1 would eat my hat
if Dr. Pingel's English 220 class com-
pleted the novel which was its class
project during the winter term. Let
me, with due respect to your report-
er, assui S you that I was misquoted
in this particular case.
Wfcat I did say was that I would
eat my hat if Dr. Pingel's class suc-
ceeded in getting its novel published
and issued in the form of a book for
ale to the reading public. I think I
also was pretty careful to stipulate
that the book must be put out by a
reputable publisher, in printed for-
mat and not mimeographed. Most of
my remarks were made during the
course of a conversation with Mr
Emo Boado, one of the more promi-
nent members of Dr. Pingel's class.
Mr. Boado will, I am sure, back up
what I have just written, particu-
larly since he plans to be among
those present in my English 112a
class during the Spring term.
I would like to emphasize that 1
am proud to be a colleague of Dr.
Pingel, and that I admire and ap-
prove wholeheartedly of her work
with the class that has just completed
what I am sure is a good novel. The
interest that her students have shown
in her classes has always been an
inspiration to the rest of us in the
English Department, and we all hope
that she keeps up the splendid work.
Also, in spite of whatever digestive
discomfort might be involved in the
process, il do hope that I will have
to eat my hat.
Sincerely yours,
Edgar W. Hirshberg

True Story Contest
For College Writers
For the fifth consecutive year
True Story Magazine is offering forty
thousand dollars in cash prizes for
submitted true stories.
The editors of True Story make
it clear that an entrant need not be
a skilled writer to win one of the 157
cash awards, including the first prize
of $5,000. The only major require-
ment is that the true .story be writ-
ten honestly and sincerely.
In previous years the editors of
True Story have been swamped with
entries, and an even bigger response
is expected this year as the contest
grows in popularity.
Full contest details are in the

Poor Johnny seems to have had
several embarrassing moments. This
interview was to have taken place at
4 p.m. and at 4:15 p.m Johnny had
still not arrived. Bobbie Lou, by
this time, was beginning to get an-
gry. When she called Johnny, she
found that he had been asleep, and
had forgotten all about the interview.
When he finally arrived, he was
very much embarrassed.
A few weekends ago, Johnny vis-
ited at Bobbie Lou's house. In the
confusion of packing, he forgot an
all-important item?his necktie, let
also seems that he turned a bottle
of catsup over on the table.
Johnny gave Bobbie Lou her dia-
mond on February 13, while they
were in her dining room. Although
they have not set a definite wedding
date, they plan to be married soon
after Bobbie Lou finishes school in
the spring of 1956. Johnny will fin-
ish either at the end of fall or winter
quarter next year.
Best wishes are extended to this
couple in their future life.

Two Stars On Mythical
All-Conference Squad
Two East Carolina basketeers, Cap-
tain Cecil Heath and sophomore
flash Don Harris, were selected on
the mythical All-North State Con-
ference team for the 1954-55 season
by the coaches of the league.
Heath, the smallest man on the
squad at 5-10, made the team for
his second consecutive time. He was
plagued by kidney injuries through-
out the season and missed several
games, but his outstanding play
could not be overlooked. A senior,
Heath played four years of good
basketball under Coach Porter and
was one of the best floormeti in the
state.
Don Harris, sophomore sensation
from Lauriiburg, was the leading
Pirate scorer for the regular season
with a terrific average of 21.2. The
6-1 forward was a strong reason why
the Buccaneers captured a high spot
in the conference ratings.
Other members of the All-Loop
team are Bob Ortmyer, Floyd Propst,
and Raeford Wells of Lenoir Rhyne;
Jerry Williams and John Marley from
I Atlantic Christian; Bill Atkins, Guil-
ford; Dave Maddox, Elon; and John
Pyecha, Appalachian.
Southern Confeience champs, V.
M.I also boasted an A11-American.
Perhaps the most important
achievement of the season for the
new team is the gaining of valuable
experience against the best the East
Coast has to offer. The majority of
the boys are freshmen who have had
no previous swimming experience
and what better training could they
have?
Coach M. rtinez has stated that his
boys "have made great improvement
with every match. We should be at
our strongest against William and
Mary aqd the odds should be even
The hussky instructor has great as-
pirations for his future swimming
squads and says that next year the
East Carolina Poolsters might be
capable of matching the bigger
schools in the state.
East Carolina's hopes of returning
to Kansas City to compete in the
NAIA tournament as a representa-
tive of District 26 were shattered last
Monday night as Atlantic Christian's
Bulldogs virtually couldn't miss.
The score: AC 107, EC 98. John Mar-
ley, AC center, took high scoring
honors for the contest with 27 tallies.
J. C. Thomas had 24 and Nick
Nichols had 22 for the Buccaneers.
Don Harris, Cecil Heath, and Guy
Mendenhall wre lost via the foul
route. Nichols sustained a shoulder
injury which kept him out most of
j the second half.
The Bulldogs had an uncanny
shooting accuracy of 62 per cent
from the floor while EC was not far
behind with 48 per cent accuracy.
Atlantic Christian led at halftime
56-51.
Howard Porter's Pirate Golf team,
the North State Conference champ-
ions for six consecutive years, will
begin practice next week for the 1955
season.
Leading the list of players will be
big Claude King, Harry Rainey, and
Pat Hunt. King was the individual
Conference champion last year and
is expected to be at the peak of his
ability this spring. Rainey and Hunt
are both returning lettermen and
and will probably combine with King
to make uip three of the participants
of the Buc four-man-team. The golf-
ers will play both four and six-man
matches.
Young Johnny Rainey, a freshman,
j will provide the squad with a fresh
I spark. Graduated from the '54 links-
ters is dynamic Dave Martin.
Coach Porter announced that all
boys interested in joining the teams
should contact him next week, Jet is
hoped that there will be matches
with Wake Forest and other mem-
bers of the bigger schools of the state.
All home meets will take place at the
local country club.
?Atlantic Christian College, second
ranked during the regular season,
I reared through the North State Con-
ference tournament at Lexington to
take the loop crown from the fumb-
ling fingers of the Lenoir Rhyne
Bears in a 108-85 scrap.
The Bulldogs opened the first
round of the tournament by downing
Catawba and then went on the ram-
page to nmash Higi Point 82-69. High
Point pulled the upset of the week by
dropping highly-rated East Carolina
91-70 in a game completely dominat-
ed by the Panthers.
In the semifinals Lenoir Rhyne
followed AOC's rout of High Point
with an 80-71 victory over Elon.
These wins placed the Bulldogs and
the Beam in the top position.
Coach Jack McComas' fiery squad
took command of the final battle
with Buchanan, Marley, and Williams
pus' ir.g to a 53-36 halftime lead over
Lenoir Rhyne. Buchanan played ter-
rific hall throughout the game and
took high-fcoring honors by collect-
ing a total of 22. Atlantic Christian's
108-85 win made them the eleventh
conference champion in North State
history,
