Student Government Starts Year's Work
The new officers of the Student
Government here began official ac-
tion on April 20 when they held their
first meeting in Flanagan Audi-
torium.
The ; reposed amendment concern-
ing the rights of the Social Commit-
tee, which was presented to the body
on April 30, was accepted at ,this
meeting and will now be presented
to the entire student body.
The amendment is as follows:
Section 4: Social Committee
A. The members of the Social Com-
mittee shall be two representa-
tives, a boy and a girl from the
Freshman class, and four repre-
sentatives, two boys and two girls
from each of the other classes,
the Director of the College Union,
the co-ordinator of the Student
Social Activities, Dean of Women,
Dean of Men and Director of
Student Personnel. The first two
representatives shall be appointed
by the president at the beginning
of the Fall Quarter and the second
two shall be appointed from the
Sophomore class by its president.
The members shall serve continu-
ously through their Senior year.
. Toe function of tthe 3ocial Com-
mittee is to give the student
representation in the College
Union.
C. The Social Committee shall meet at
? any time the chairman shall desig-
nate.
D. The duties of the Social Commit-
tee ? all be as follows:
1. to aot as a student advisory
1 aaid for programming at the
College Union.
2. to pi ornate social and recrea-
tional activities for the entire
student body.
Repotting from the Awards Com-
mit ee was Hugh Young Jr. and he
proposed that the SGA do away with
the Awards program. The body agreed
to 1 lace the Awards program with
a feature section in the "East Caro-
linian
A motion made by a member of the
Budget Committee stating that the
SUA not be responsible for debts of
oriranizfttions occurring beyond their
appropriation carried. As was pointed
out each group has three or more
chances to ask for appropriations. It
was. therefore, the belief of the body
that there was no need for a group
to go in def-t before consulting neces-
sary assistance.
In behalf of the May Day Com-
mittee Cf:arlie Bedford requested that
the SGA give their approval for the
boys to give flowers for the May
Day Dance. After this was approved
a motion was made stating that the
?? -
SGA recommend to the May
Committee that Uhe girls no wear
evening dresses.
Due to confusion among Ea Caro-
lina students as to what the terms
"formal "emi4formal and "is:
mal" mean, a committee of
was appointed to investigate. Upon
recommendation of the body
terms will be clearly defined in this
paper. Serving on this committee are
Faye O'Neal, chairman, Jean Buchan-
an and Joyce Smith.
After the Veterans Club asked for
permission to sponsor dances after
football games, a motion was made
'o this etrffect, but was tabled for
later discussion.
Wade Cooper presented to the body
what may e a 1 artial solution to
the parking situation?permanent car
tags. A committee of three was ap-
pointed to investigate the possibility
of I aving the SGA ssponsor this. Ann
Bowles will serve as chairman and
serving with her are Shirley Moose
and Enno Boado.
A-fter a recommendation from the
honor committee, the committee was
dropped due to lack of time. It was
also recommended that a special
council be appointed next fall to
continue the work.
At this meeting of SGA the Aquat-
ics Club and the Industrial Arts Club
were granted seats on the legislature.

A Time Of Need
The current discussion under the dome at
Raleigh is of vital importance to education in
Nrth Carolina. The slash in the budget gives us
all reason to worry. All the state-supported col-
leges and universities are perplexed. It looks bad.
Even though North Carolina ranks next to
the bottom in education on the national scale,
and the need grows greater every day for an
increase in facilities, it looks as if we are going
to get little encouragement this year. To steal a
phrase from the editors up at Carolina, colleges
are. no doubt, "mushrooming East Carolina
is the best example of this in rhe state. Present-
ly, even with the generosity of the past few
legislatures, we have too few facilities to ac
eomodate our students. Next year, when our
enrollment increases into the 3.000 bracket, what
are we going to do?
V? will manage somehow to continue to
stretch at East Carolina. The institution is now
an essential part of the system of higher educa-
tion in the state. Students no longer feel thalt
they have to go to one of the "big four" col-
leges t get a good education; they know that they
can get it here. A poor man can get a good ed-
ucation at East Carolina, and he doesn't have
to be ashamed that he isn't financially able to
d a fraternity and make his college career a
social whirl. S'orth Carolina needs East Carolina
College. ,
Put more than she needs East Carolina or
any other individual school, the state needs a
better educational system. Higher education is
one of the answers to the quandary on self-im-
provement. All the state-supported colleges need
more money to enable them to take care of more
students. And all these colleges are waiting for
the axe to fall, hoping that it will be dull.
Here we sit in the East, hoping that the
decisions up in Raleigh will be those that will
help us to help the scores of high school seniors
who deserve a place on our campus. Hoping that
people will realize the necessity of improved high-
er education in the state. Remembering that once
there was a man who wanted his son to help him
makt more money so he had that son quit school.
The son never could read and write or work
arithmetic and he never did help his foolish
father save a cent. Education is of paramount
importance to every son who wants to help his
father: it is the right of every citizen who wants
to help his state.

A move to relieve the SGA from

Ignorance Is Dangerous
Last Wednesday night many of the students
on this campus were suddenly startled with the
blowing of fire whistles in Greenville and fre-
quent break-ins on the local radio stations asking
National Guardsmen to report to their headquar-
ters. "?
Students became excited and immediately
sought to find an answer to these surprise ac-
tions. Very few knew of the events which had
been planned by our Defense Department.
This was all a part of "Operation Minute-
men a nationwide alert sounded by the National
Guard Bureau in the Pentagon last Wednesday
night at 6:30 o'clock. This experiment program
was to determine how quickly our National Guard
w aid be able to act in case of a real emergency
?nr country were attacked.
The guardsmen were posted at major areas
and strategic points which supposedly would have
been attacked by our enemy.
These alerts should be exercised more often,
and the citizens should be willing and glad to
"participate in these programs. It might help to
save their life or that of a loved one some day.
Under the sponsorship of the Citizenship
Education Committee here at East Carolina, a
Civil Defense Training Program is being intro-
duced to our campus. It is under the direction
of Dr. Kathleen Stokes of the Social Studies de-
partment and two committees made up of faculty
members and students.
What would you do if our campus were sud-
denlv attacked by enemy forces? You, the students
at East Carolina, should certainly be interested
in learning something about Civil Defense, and
eager to cooperate with these committees which
are trying to familiarize you with the subject.
Civil Defense at East Carolina will be discussed
at an assembly in Austin Auditorium on May 3.
We urge you to attend.?J. F.

The cheating commmittee turned
:n their papers and their resignations,
that they don't have time to
r! their plans before the end
ool this year. They left .some
turdy recommendations and the body
moved to have next year's legislature
take up the project immediately after
school begins.
The committee came to tlhe conclu-
sion that cheating can be stopped or
brought to a leSs disturbing ebb
'rough social disapproval. We agree.
That is the crux of the prolblem now.
Tl tfsa of us who are against dishon-
? ? are going to be forced to stand
up and so say. We are going to have
to 'ell the fellow who asks for help
that he will have to get it elsewhere,
and that "he had better be careful not
o do it in our presence. We are
going to have to tell the teacher who
leave his grade book open while he
leaves xdass that he is asking for
trouble. We are going to have to sign
petitions against those involved in
cheating. It is sad that there are
those among our friends here who
want us to go to sucfli measures.

INSIDE THE NEST
by Joyce Smith
Con 'iderai le misconception exists
amone- East Carolina students as to
what the terms 'formal 'semi-for-
mal' and 'informal' mean.
"Formal according to Emily Post.
"is a synonym for ceremonial
ha stated in Emily Post's "Eti-
quette "In communities; where the
tail coat is worn, 'semi-lormal' means
dinner jackets (tuxedos) and simple
evening dresses
Informal is when boys weark dark
suits and when girte wen '?
dresses.
Our present interpretation of semi-
formal proves to be quite shocking to
educated poeple who know better.
Semi-formal by no means signifies
that boys sihould be in business suits
and girls in formal evening dresses.
I As Emily Post states, "a man's busi-
ness suit is actually as unbecoming
to a woman's evening dress as his hat
would be on her head When a man
wears a business suit a properly
lady will wear an afternoon
s.
fn order to reach an approved social
1 lentg should begin putting
habits into practice. A stu-
ien' im y get by witih such dressing
Ea t Carolina, but there may
1 his later life when exact
1 is required. How will he
? the situation?
Now is the best time for us to begin
learning what to wear as we are under
I e guidance and leadership of people
who know best. As Dean Ruth White
pointed out, it is better to learn how
to dress now and save embarrasment
later.
We highly believe that more semi-
formal and foi-mal events will lead to
a higher cultural level on our campus.
Much discussion has arisen over
what will be worn to the May Day
Dance for which boys will wear dark
suits, girls will wear evening dresses.
Some studnntfl tend :o believe that
if evening dresses are worn to this
dance it will detract from the court.
It was also argued that it would
take some of the meaning away from
the Junior-Senior. We disagree with
e beiiefa on the ground that even-
ing dresses will neither detract from
the May Court or the Junior-Senior
Dance.
The May Day Dance is of no minor
importance and in our belief it is
equal if not more important than
tiha Junior-Senior. Whereas the Jun-
ior-Senior only involves Junior, Sen-
iors, and their guests the May Day
Dance is the one big campus-wide
dance sponsored during Spring quar-
ter.
ila c mcerning their honor Bysten
material was gathered in survey form for
bution. A study of this should assisl as in
s me of our cheating problems.

Jonnie Simpson, freshman: "I think that
is proper and fitting for the girls to invite
b ys to the various social functions, but I believe
that this will have to become a standard accepted
practice on campus before the girls will agree
to it. I also think that more informal functions
like watermelon cuttings and weiner roasts are
definitely needed
June Crews, sophomore: "I do think it

The main barrier seema to be the
oues ion of the decency of Bermuda
shorts. To clear up this question, I
would like to inform all that the
U. S. Air Force has adopted this
type of shorts as the regulation sum-
mer uniform. I would like to say that
there is formal wear made up of the
regular coat and Bermuda-type
shorts. To completely sell the idea, j
I recently read an article which stat-
ed that a minister was allowing his
congregation to wear the shorts, with
Lie and coat, to church services. If
there be any doubt left, I recommend
a psychiatrist.
It looks like that when the students
at Carolina are allowed to wear the
! shorts the anti-Bermuda shorts mem-
i bers of the East Carolina College
Sdministration would wise-up and be
broad-minded about the whole id?a.

Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then that tobacco is
toasted to taste better. "IVs Toastedthe famous Lucky

to make it taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother.
You'll enjoy the Droodle above, too; it's titled: Three on a

May Day Controversy, Bermuda Shorts
" " . ? . uiui. nMimir ?fl fine. 1
Dear Editor:
There ha' been much discussion
about the formality and attire for
the May Day Dance which is to be
held Saturday nig-ht. In view of the j
fact there might be some misunder-
standing as to why the May Day Com-
mittee decided for the dance to be a
dress-up affair witJh the girls wear-
ing formal evening dresses and boys
business suits, I think there should
be some explanation.
This is the first year that we have
tried having a May Day Dance. It
was decided that we could not make
May Day a large event by merely
srving an informal dance. How many
; eople would think of staying up for
an informal dunce or how many
would invi:e dates up when we have
informal dancing in the College Union
.?h Friday evening?
The May Day Dance should really
? dance of tfee spring as it
sponsored by the Student Govern-
m( ?en to the entire student
, ujtee. Why should we
make one of the should be" largest
dances of the year informal, wfoen
all others have been semi-formal
(as we have called them)?
As the May Queen and her at-
tendants will be dreaaed i l evening
dresses k was decided fat it would
look better for the otr.er girls to
dress in evening dresses.
Many people say "well there will
he another dance the weekend follow-
ing and girls will not want to wear
the aMBM evening dress to two dan-
ces But do you realize that the
freshman and sophomore classes
combined make up a larger part of
be student body than the remain-
ing classes? This will be the last
dance of the year for the lower class-
men. Should we deprive those stu-
dents of the larger dance just because
I minority will be going to a later
dance ?
No doubt formal evening dresse
are not comfortable but by asking
many students' opinions we found
With everything so fine, I made
up my mind that I was happy " be
getting an education. After all, I'm a
Junior, it's about time don you
think?
Well, to make a long story short
there is one thing I can't tolerate,
on my?a? that is. That one thing
nappens to be bermuda ahorte. Now
dont get me wrong, if anyone else
wants to wear them, I'm all for it, but
now, it seems rather foolish to allow
our young gentlemen students to
wear them, and not allow our young
ladies. Tt seems as if, in this hot
weather, there would be no harm done
in allowing the girls to wear peuUe-
rehexa or bermuda shorts to the "Y"
Itore After all I am told that in

wear them.
Some might think that by girls
wearing evening dresses to the May
Day Dance, k will take away from
the Junior-Senior Dance, but why
should it? These dances are not com-
peting against each other. They are
for two diffeivir. purposes and should
noH be compared and even if they
were we should not lower the stand-
ards of one dance just to make an-
other one look larger and greater.
I hope that the studentts do not
think hat I made all the decisions
about May Day. The decisions were
made by the committee as a whole
aiffcer much discus-ion not only m
the group but with many students
on the campus.

Dear Editor:
The othei day. as the good Lord
would have it I woke to wonderful
morning, filled wH h bine and the
faint call of a squirrel to his mate.
Everything was just nerfect
marriage as elsewhere you must meet
people at least 50 percent of the way
for happiness to prevail. This is the
hunting ground for marriage and
companionship, why then can't the
girls meet the boys on an equal foot-
ing.
At the University of North Caro-
lina, Bermuda shorts and peddle-
pushers are permited In class. Are
we to U these people out do us in
Jashion and custom? All I have heard
this year has been we are a growing
school. It is my opinion if we are
to continue ta grow we must keep in
step with the other leading schools
of this state, fit seem that many
students, as well as myself, feel we
are content to lag behind in matters
of social customs which are accept-
able to every one but the "powers
that be here.
Alfter re-reading this I find I have
wondered over a considerable amount
of territory. The chief intent of this
is to anneal to our leaders and coun-
seled, wdth an earnest plea for our
young ladies and companions, please
find it in your heart to allow peddle-
pushers an bermuda shorts, at the
Student Union, while checking mail.
and in general, running around the
campus, if UV good enough for UNC,
State, Meredith, St. Mary's, why then
can't it he good enough for us.
Very Respectfully,
Kenneth T. Bellamy
