Crocker, Smith, Ferrell Receive Jobs
As Editors Of Collese Annual, Paper
A senior and two rising juniors will
edit next year's publications at East
Carolina College. Lannie Crocker will
edit the college yearbook and Joyce
.smith and Jimmy Ferrell will serve
as co-editors of the newspaper. The
students were appointed to their po-
sitions by the Publications Board of
the collegexat a meeting last week.
Both Lannie Crocker and Joyce
Smith are from Selma. Lannie will be
a senior at the beginning of next
Fall quarter. She is a Home Eco-
nomics major and has served as an
officer in her departmental fraterni-
ty and club. An active BSU worker,
she has also been in the campus YW
CA. Her experience with the annual
has been gained through staff mem-
bership for the past two years. She
was associate editor during this year.
bhe was highly recommended by Jane
Kanoy, current editor of the "Buc-
caneer and accepted unanimously
by the board members.
Joyce Smith is a primary educa-
tion major. Her extra-curricular ac-
tivities have also been centered
around BSU and YWCA work along
with specific duties with the news-
paper. This year she has served as
feature editor and SGA reporter for
the paper. Her current position is
managing editor.
Jimmy Ferrell, a business educa-
tion major from Lucama, will share
the responsibilities of editorship of
the paper along with Joyce. Ferrell
is a member of Delta Zeta fraterni-
ty, national professional business or-
ganization, FBLA and YMCA. His
duties on the news-paper have been
general reporter, feature writer,
managing editor and sports assistant.
The newspaper has not been
managed by co-editors for several
years, but the members of the Publi-
cations Board felt that the two stu-
.
dents could work effectively o that
arrangement.
It is a .chool policy to have the
Publication Board appoint the editors
of the two publications. Dr. Clinton
Prewett is chairman of the boaTd.
MemberK include the editors of the
two publications, Dr. John D. Mes-
ick, president of the college, Aca-
demic Dean Leo W. Jenkins and
several other members of the staff
and faculty who are connected with
he publications.
The selections are made after care-
ful scrhtinization of letters of ap-
plications of students interested in
the editorships. The students' en-
tire records since enrollment in the
college are also examined. Leader-
ship, scholarship, attitude and know-
ledge of puplication work are the
main pre-requisites for appointees.

On March 8 East Carolina College
began its 48th year of service to
ea: tern North Carolina and the whole
.state is general. An act was passed
by the General Assembly of North
Carolina on this same day in 1907
establishing this institution as a
school for the training of teachers.
. The college opened its doors to
students on October 5, 1909 with an
enrollment of 104 females and 191
males. Dr. Robert Wright served as
president from 1909 until 1934. Dur-
ing the?;e 25 year: the institution be-
came an accredited college.
In its early years East Carolina
offered only one and two year cours-
es. Nine subjects were taught the
first year. The college mow has six-
teen departments of instruction, all
of which prepare teachers for work
in the public schools.
The first degrees were granted in
19J2. At present the college offers
the bachelor of science, the bachelor
ir rts, and the master of arts.
East Carolina began its period of
growth in 1947. It was marked by
nsjon of physical facilities, in-
crease in students, and development
of new fields of service to education
in the state. Enrollment has con-
stantly increased since 1947. This
year's enrollment includes approxi-
mately 2700 studnts on the campus
and more than 700 in extension class-
es. This progress is due largely to the
capable leadership of East Carolina's
president for the .past seven years,
Dr. John D. Messick. Six buildings
were ready for use by the first stu-
dents, and in 1947 this number had
increased to 22. Recent additions in-
clude new Joyner Library, Erwin
Hall, Slay Hall for men, Memorial
Gymnasium, a gymnasium for the
Wahl-Coates Laboratory School, the
Adelaide E. Bloxton Home Manage-
ment House, a stadium on the foot-
ball 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
R. M. Garrett Hall for women, stu-
dent dormitories which will aid the
college in meeting an acute housing
shortage.
At present, the old library is being
renovated into a music building and
;he former Home Management House
into the Mamie E. Jenkins Faculty-
Alumni House. The Wright Building
is being converted into a Student Un-
ion and a new wing has been added
to Ragsdale Hall, men's dormitory.
Among East Carolina's 494 grad-
uates of 1953-54 a total of 458 were
qualified as teachers. Great stress
has been placed on elementary edu-
cation during the past several years
and the number of those being pre-
pared in this field of greatest scar-
city of teachers has increased.
East Carolina College has become
a great institution of learning here
in eastern North Carolina. Iits pres-
ence has meant an increase in both
educational and cultural advantages
and offers a fuller life for Eastern
North Carolina and the state as a
whole.

resentation in Congress. He further
said that membership due3 would not
be over $100 but not below $75 each
vtar, and also fointed out that Duke,
Carolina. Woman's College, A&T, and
Lenoir Rhyne were already members
of the organization along with 300
other colleges over the United States.
i Harvey Davis suggested that it be
left up to the incoming legislature
as to whether they become a member
or not, but Ed Mathews made a mo-
tion to appropriate money to become
a member of the organization.
The motion for the appropriation
was carried.
The unfilled positions of secretary-
treasurer, and two members at large

the meeting by K. T. Bellamy, Doc
Smith, and J. B. Nichols, respectively.

lating their coach, players, and stu-
dents on their winning the North

pionship and for their fine showing
in the NAJA Tournament in Kansas

A motion was made by Milton Fo-
ley and carried, whereby the Campus
improvement Committee ceased to be
a standing committee.

Challenge To Youth
lervance of Anunal High School Day
row affords ua an opportunity we feel
;gcd to take advantage of. We can speak
the high school students of North
i. We know that the youth who are in
ml now will soon become the leaders on
mpusee all over the nation. We consider
h school students a most distinguished
lience.
N rth Carolina is in need of young people
i aspirations to become leaders. Especial-
field of education, our state is wide
advancement. The college population of
has learned that, in order to disprove
thrown our way from our northern
he "educated Yankees we have to con-
oling in our most serious manner. We
. feel that the South is on its way up
educational circles; we know that the state
S rth Carolina has much to offer in its youth
ive abilities and are willing to take advan-
educational opportunities that are
in our state. To go further, we expect
arolina youth to see to it that we have
these educational opportunities.
High School students can do something to
the advancement of education in North Caro-
They can make every effort to educate
s by finding ways to attend college and,
if that is impossible, fostering within themselves
the theory of self-education. We present to the
high school youth of North Carolina a challenge.
We are proud to have guests on our campus.
As our student body has grown bigger and our
facilities have increased. East Carolina College
has become
?
A few weeks ago we ran an edi
tonal on the lack of familiarity of
Americans, including college students,
with fche national Constitution. It ap-
parently evoked quite a bit of inter-
est. Several teachers commented in
their classes. Students have come by
to express their sentiments. Most of
the comments have been in agreement
wiih our presumptions. We go so far
as to say that we know that the
college students today, even the gov-
ernment majors, are lacking when it
comes to concrete knowledge of the
documents which are the basis of our
government.
Some say that this is not a serious
problem at all. They claim that most
?people have a common working knowl-
edge of the functions of democratic
principles. They say that it is better
to know that you can go down to the
polls and vote along with everyone
else than to know why you have that
privilege. In other words, many peo-
ple believe that facts are not nearly
o important as the ability to do the
things explained by the technical
terms. Of course, they are right, as
far as they go.
We believe that in a field that
concerns everyone so specifically as
does government a combination of
actual knowledge and working knowl-
edge can be termed essential. There
is no disagreement to the belief that
any knowledge that is garnered is an
aid toward ; rogressiveness. Just how
the college students are going to be-
come more informed on the subject
of their government we still don't
know.
We would still advocate more em-
phasis on Constitutional principles in
education; that is the most logical
answer.

The co-captain and star right half-
hack of our '5155 football team is
our Who's Who for the week. This is,
of course, none other than the well-
known John Toppy" Hayes of Dur-
ham.
"Toppy" came to East Carolina on
a football scholarship. Jt is quite
:v parent by his activities that foot-
ball certainly is not his only interest.
Throughout his four years here
Toppy has been a member of the
YMCA. He served as its treas-
urer while a sophomore, later as vice-
president, and this year as president.
He has served as dorm manager of
Ragsdale and a a member of the
Men's Judiciary. The Men's Varsity
Glee Club wa one of his activities
while a fres man and sophomore.
Other activities include being a
member of the band, Circle K, and
the Varsity Club. "Toppy" is a mem-
ber of the E.P.O. or Sigma Rho Phi.
Other than football he has played
baseball and for the past two years
he has participated in track.
"Toppy who is a physical educa-
maj r and an English minor, did
his practice teacl ing in Robersonville.
He says he enjoyed it very much and
he found the students quite co-
0 i rative.
Favorites for "Toppy" are steak,
as the food, footall, as the sport, and
blue, as the color.

Here And There
More Editorial Notes
Things are looking up a bit. Students seem to
b- reading their paper and taking offense at
editorials. We say this because of the
resp rise 1 ur charge that students here are dis-
ited in student government.
We appreciate the response. Maybe we are
wrong. To those who are offended, we send
ther challenge. Prove that we are wrong by
ting; mere talk doesn't amount to a row of
pins unless it stimulates action.
Here are seme suggestions that have been
d by interested persons. Revise the system
of representation on the Student Legislature.
There are those who believe that the students are
n t beano: represented proportionately when the
club presidents, chairmen of standing committees
and vice-chairmen i f judiciaries, etc. take seats
n the legislature as their sponsors. There are a
gre tny students who dr. not belong to de-
partmental organizations, are not vitally ef-
fected by standing committees and who feel that
the vice-chairmen of judiciaries are merely orna-
mental fixtures.
Another suggestion concerns a campaign by
interested students to obtadn reduced rates for
c liege students from the Greenville merchants.
We recommend that the students and adminis-
tration get together and talk to the Chamber of
C r. merce in Greenville. Talking the situation
over with those immediately involved would be
the best way to get something done.
These crusades if carried beyond the lips
would be steps of progress. We want to make
clear the factthat these ideas are not individual
challenges from the offices of the East Caro-
linian. On the contrary, they are ideas of the
students whom we accused of being disinterested.
We support any crusade that will mean better-
ment of campus conditions, however, and are
glad to use our limited space for suggestions like
those printed above. We endorse the ideas.

Pirate golfers are working out
daily in preparation for their first

Eion on April 7 and 8. The defending
North State champions again have
their goal set on a successful defense
of the loop crown, which they have

the last few seasons.

of the individual title at the con-

Greensboro, the local golfers should

Perry, a former All-State end All-

High School, now proudly wears the
purple and gold of East Carolina
College.
Bobby, after a terrific high school
athletic career, entered college in 1953
and became a member of the first
track team in Pirate history. He
participated in the- broad-jump, the
100 and 220 yard dashes a9 well as
others. The peppery freshman became
the sparkplug of the squad and it was
said that his rugged ability was built
on sheer determination.
In the very first contest of last
season for the Buccaneers, Perry ran
wild and collected 16 points to pace

The probable starters for the Pi-
rates listed in batting order are as
follows: Bucky Reep, Cecil Heath,
Gaither Cline, Gene Turner, Nick
Smothers, Bob Penley, Bill Cline, and
Jerry Stewart.
The Pirates displayed a potent bat-
ting attack in their two contests with
Srringfield last week. Cecil Heath,
hustling secondsacker for the Pirates,
collected six hits in nine official trips,
including a double and triple. He
batted in four of the Bucs' eight runs
last Wednesday.
Gaither Cline had 3 for 5 in the
first game also and batted across
two runs. Gaither's brother, Bill, also

slugging a 390-foot home run over

Hunt, Sexton, and Gay are back

nucleus down the lin. Their .perfec-
tive drives and accurate putting will
once again be powerful guns in the
Pirate attack.
The strong local golfers should suc-

mination and diligent practice of the
entire squad. As they practice steadi-

with a single and triple, and one run
batted in. Backstop Bill Cline knocked
in two runs for the Pirate's cause.
The game belonged strictly to the

earlier in the season, routed their

AM YOU METICULOUS about your choice of cigarettes?
Do you want exactly the right taste? Then take a hint
from the Droodie above, titled: Ash tray belonging to
very tidy Lucky smoker. Luckies taste neat? and for
excellent reasons. First of all, Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
Jf 8 Toasted' is the famous Lucky Strike
process that tones up Luckies' light,
good-tasting tobacco to make it taste
even better cleaner, fresher, smoother.
So enjoy yourself thoroughly whenever
it's light-up time. Light up the better-
tasting cigarette Lucky Strike.

?ipi ritual nd and the need for guid-
ance of young women and opened
' the General Female Training Institute
there. At the same time, Miss Emma
Roberts began the Prayer Union for
young working girls. In 1859 Miss
Roberts named her prayer group the
"Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion" which was to be entirely in-
dependent from the "Young Men's
Christian Association
The first student YWCA was or-
ganized a; Illinois State Normal
University. One of thi organiza-
tion's first services was to meet
freshman girls at the train and show
them around the campus. The YWCA
early recognized the importance of
exercise fn young women. Calis-
thenics were taught in Boston in con-
nection with the Y organization.
Ladie9 cooking and sewing classes
were also opened in Boston and in
New York.
Later in Baltimore the YWCA
group opened rooms for noon lunches
for the working girls. Tr.e world's
YWCA was organized in London in
1894. In 1911 a course in first aid
was offered in prepared connection
coopera'ion with the American Red
Cross. !n ll42 the Y groups helped
in the war effort by doing extended
USO work over the country.
Refreshments were served the mem-
bers and the guests after the pres-
entation of the skits. Erileen Lilley,
Presi h at of the East Carolina YWCA
cut the birthday cake for the group
and Sadie Francis served punch.
