Preliminarily
Approves Loan
The Federal Home and Housing Fi-

has preliminarily approved a loan of
$1,425,000 for the construction of two
new m n's dormitories here, accord-
ing to Mr. F. D. Duncan, college
riceresident in charge of business
affairs.
Mr. Duncan pointed out that the
State Legislature has passed an act
which now enables the University of
North Carolina, North Carolina State,
East Carolina, Appalachian, and West-
ern Carolina College to borrow mon-
ey from the Federal Government for
the purpose of building dormitories.
"East Carolina was the first state-
supported school to file an applica-
tion for a loan when they filed last
June Mr. Duncan commented. "Our
final application which was filed early
this month was also the first among
the state schools he explained.
Final Approval Expected Soon
The recently-elected vicepresident
represented the college in Atlanta on
October 24 when East Carolina's final
application was submitted for scruti-
nization. The application informed the
agency of the dire need for housing
facilities here and pointed out that
approximately 500 men students are
now living off the campus awaiting
dormitory rooms. "The final approval
should be received sometime within
the next thirty days, and we believe
that our application will be approv-
ed he said.
Might Be Ready In '57
Mr. Duncan reported that if and
when the application is approved it
will be four or five months before
definite plans could be drawn and
possibly six montihs before actual
construction would begin. "The new

THE NEW INDEX Ls published
larurly by the Confederate Re-
search Club, Portsmouth, England.
Dr. Todd was invited to write the
de as a result of his recent prize-
inning book, CONFEDERATE FI-
NANCE, published by the University
of Georgia Press, Athens, Georgia.
The aricle states that "In its ex-
traordinary straits for money, the
Confederacy resorted to every expe-
dient known to finance, even the most
aerate. Federal specie located in
the mints and customhousea of the
South was confiscated; property of
alien enemies was sequestered and
military supplies were impressed;
duties were placed on exports and
imports; direct taxes were levied;

Non-Singing Roles
Dr. Cuthbert emphasizes that there
are many non-singing roles for stu-
dents with dramatic ability. Charac-
ters will be chosen by the casting
committee composed of Dr. Utter-
back, Dr. Cuthbert, Henry Whitener,
chairman of the Musical Production
Commission, and others.
Members of the Musical Produc-
tion Commission who will assist in
the production of "Oklahoma" are
Henry Whitener, chairman, Joe Stell,
Roy Knight, Pat Everton, and Fran-
kie Keaton. Dr. Cuthbert is serving
as advisor for this commission.
Dancers, Technical Staff Needed
Besides the list of characters, stu-
dents will be needed to sing in the
chorus, to dance, to assist with
scenery, and to help with properties.

Deals With Communism
The three-act play based on a novel
y Arthur Koestler and written by
Sidney Kingsley deals with Commu-
�i.t leadership around the year 1936.
During this time purge trials were
�held and all revolutionary leaders
were imprisoned and made to confess
to various charges or be killed. Rath-
r than confess to some untruth or
give up their rigtots and beliefs, many
of these leaders were liquidated.
Throughout the day the audience
wonders why the characters involved
k not demand a fair trial, but i '�
:learly understood when, towards the
nd, the question, "Why did these
aders confess?" is answered.
A icorddng to Student Director,
Marion Evans, junior from New Ben ,
much work has been put forth to
make this production a big success,
and all connected have been looking
forward to presenting it for quite
awhile.
Six Levels
This play is quite different from
any recently presented on campus in
that the set, instead of being on one
level, is built on six levels. Changing
of scenes is done by lighting instead
of the regular curtain fall. Dr. John
Gordon of the Art Department is the
et designer and the unusual design
af detail of the settings are due to
his creative ideas.
Goodwin, Martin Star
Julius Martin, sophomore from Rob-
crsonville, and Patricia Goodwin, sen-
ior from Memphis, Tennessee, play
leading roles. Martin plays the part
of Rubas'hov, one-time party leader
whose ideas have run amuck with
new trends and because of this is
anresned. Miss Goodwin portrays
Luba, Rubashov's secretary and mis-
tress.
Other Characters
Other characters are Ivanoff, Wil-
liam C Dixor. Jr of Kinston; Geet-
kin, Lloyd Bray Jr of Greenville;
Guard, Walter "Pinky" White, of
Raleigh; Prisoner 402, Kenneth West
of Wilson; Prisoner 302, Jack Cherry

by these varioug means the Confed-
eracy vainly endeavored to meet its
financial obligations at home and
abroad. That it failed is a well-known
j-actwhether it could have improved
its financial status is a debatable
question.
"How ver, from this vantage point
it would appear that the financial
embarrassment of tftie Confederacy
might have been redded had Con
gress (1) adopted a more perfect
form of taxation earlier, (2) insti-

what similar to that created by the
Federal Governmenit, (3) proclaimed happy in his present position.
Comments On Editorial
Last week the East Carolinian
carried an editorial concerning
the presidency of the University
of North Carolina President J.
D. Messick, when approached
about what has been said, stated
that so far as he knows the
presidency of the University is
not vacant and that he has not
been approached by any of the
officials concerning the position.
He also stated that he appre-
ciated the interest of his friends
. in what they consider a promo-
tion for him but that he is quite
said.
and we are looking forward to our
reduction not only as entertainment cia Forbes; and Business Managers,

Local State Employees
Favor Retirement System
D.vid Bennett, 1955-56 freshman class president, and Jay Robbins,
vice-president, smile happily as thy look over the final returns from last
Thursday's run-off.
Teachers and state employees here
vot d in favor of the retirement
und-social security merger Wednes-
day, October 26, according to Mr.
E. H. Stalling of the Business Of-
fice. Of the 261 eligible voters, 230
voted af linma ively and 14 negatively.
TV 17 remaining novoters counted
against Le proposal, Mr. Stallings
said.
State-Wide Referendum
Similar referendums held through-
out he state were authorized by the
1955 (! neral Assembly of the state.
EhVihle voters wore those people who
were contributing memibers of the
Teachers' and State Employees' Re-
irement Systems on both June 8 and
October 26, 1955.
New Plan
The New Retirement plan, ex-
plained Mr. Stallings, is an integra-
tion of the former Retirement System
and Federal Social Security. Under
he merger, employees will continue
bo contribute at the rate of 5 per cent
of salaries and wages, and 2 per
cent will be diverted to pay social
.security tax.
The difference in thia coordination
plan and the former system is little
at the time of withdrawl or collec-
tion. The state fund was based solely
on percentage of average earnings
wath the state matching the sum;
whereas, social security has a differ-
ent method of coverage.
Social security benefits go to the
employee when he retirea between
60 and 65, and to his wife when she
becomes 65. At death, tfce widow or
widower and children under 18 re-
ceives certain benefits based on the
employee's monthly earnings.

Since Mr. Gordon Gray resigned as presi-
dent of the University of North Carolina num-
erous articles have appeared in North Carolina
newspapers commenting that the people of east-
ern North Carolina would like to see Dr. John D.
Messick promoted to Mr. Gray's former office.
The following editorials are taken from Green-
ville's The Daily Reflector and Goldsboro's News
Argus. We are printing them in our editorial
column, believing that they will prove interesting
in- i eaders.�Editor.
From The Daily Reflector, October 28: It
disturbs us greatly to see the name of Dr. John
D. Messick popping up so frequently among the
select list of those who might succeed Gordon
Cray as president of the Consolidated University
of North Carolina.
Frankly, anything that indicates to us that
Dr. Messick might leave his post as president of
Hast Carolina College causes us no little concern.
Such an attitude on our part admittedly stems
selfishness. We are interested in the college
ts welfare, and the welfare of this entire
3 cti n called Eastern North Carolina.
We are quite sure Dr. Messick is well quali-
fied to fill the post as president of the Greater
Uni ersity. We are also confident that the trustees
that institution will have to search diligently
find a man whose capabilities match those of
Dr. Messick. At the same time we realize that his
acceptance of another post would be a terrific
blow not only to East Carolina College, but to
Eastern North Carolina.
Dr. Messick came to East Carolina College
when it was in dire need of dynamic leadership.
He has aif irded the institution the leadership it
d not only on the local campus, but through-
the state. Through his efforts, East Carolina
nas received recognition and support from
gislature unparalleled in the history of the
Its growth has set new records with each
ng year, and its influence throughout this
a of the state has reached far beyond what
most optimistic of the institution's supporters
pe a few years ago.
East Carolina College still needs Dr. Mes-
sick's leadership, and it is our hope that it will
continue to have it.
� people of this section of the state should
e ihcy are not the only ones who have
watched with interest and appreciation the pro-
gress which East Carolina College has made un-
der Dr. Messick's leadership. His name has headed
the list of potential presidents at colleges and
universities other than the Consolidated Univer-
sity. Within recent months he has turned down
the administrative head of other educational ins-
titutions which pay higher salaries than East
Carolina.
Perhaps it is too much to hope that Dr.
Messick will remain at East Carolina indefinitely
with other colleges and universities seeking his
valuable services. Nevertheless, we can continue
to hope.
From the Goldsboro News Argus: There have
been suggestions that Dr. John D. Messick, presi-
of East Carolina College, was the man for
the L'NC presidency.
He is big enough in every sense of the word
to fit this position of top importance in our state.
He has pn ved he knows his way around among
the politicians. He has won more friends and in-
fluenced more people for East Carolina during
the years he has been there than any three presi-
dents previously. He thinks big. He thinks with
t on the ground. And he inspires others to
his vision and to labor unceasingly to put
it ii ect.
We are quite selfish in saying we don't want
him to become UNC president because his work
for Eastern North Carolina and this section for
the first time in state history will come into its
own in state backing for an institution of higher
learning. And we had never understood why the
child of the tobacco farmer should be penalized
with reference to a college of the state near his
home, a good and standard college meeting all
his needs.

A RUMOR HAS IT that winter
quar ers schedule will include more
late afternoon classes so as to keep
students on tfhe campus during the
week ml. Also, instructors will set
aside Friday as a regular test day
and all Friday absentees will receive
"ztio" for the day's work.
The administration, as well as
many of the students here, is de-
pressed over the way students con-
inually streak home for the week-
end. Aecoiv'ng to one student, Dean
Jenkins pointed out to a group of
i'aculty members that at one time
I .be title "Blast Carolina�Suitcase
College" was just a joke, but now it
ia- a serious problem.
ASSISTANT EDITOR OLIVER
WILLIAMS has printed a letter W
his column this week which he re-
ceived from a student who expresses
his views concerning "the uninhabited
wilderness that is our campus on
weekends Mr. Williams' communi-
cator asserts that there is nothing
to do around the campus" during the
w. ekends. That is the conviction of
many of the students here, and the
statement is definitely a farce. There
are many varied activities open for
student participation if students
would only utilize the ample oppor-
tunities. He also believes, as do many
others, that national social fraterni-
ties would make life at East Carolina
a rosy affair.
We are not against national social
fraternities and neitfner do we advo-
ca e them. It is our belief that many
of the fraternities here tend to be
largely social anyway. National so-
cial fraternities and fraternity houses
would not create more weekend ac-1
tivities for our campus, and the
��friendly atmosphere" wbicfh many
students feel is steadily decreasing
a.s the student body increases would
result in an abundance of cliques.
Students will continue to leave the
campus over weekends no matter
what the weekend of activities in-
clude, unless the administration de-
vises a system of restriction such as
te freshman coeds undergo during
their first quarter on campus. That
might prove an interesting experi-
ment and convince students that a
weekend on the campus could be very !
enjoyable.

Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina College
En33ish Major Active In BSU Work
by Florence Raker
LAST WEEK'S SGA MEETING
was in session less than thirty min-
ut s. And there have been comments
recently that many students are wor-
ried for fear that we will have a do-
nothing legislature. Yet, we noticed
that a great majority of the SGA
members yelled with delight when a
motion was passed to adjourn.
THE 1954-55 SENIOR CLASS was
allotted $300 for Wright Circle im-
provements. As the East Carolinian's
editorials have explained recently,
the improvements have been very
slow in the making save one fence
around the fountain and pond. Now
t'he project has been referred to Gar-
land Tuton, 1955-56 senior class pres-
ident.
Mr. Tuton explained to the legis-
lature that no information was pass-
ed to him from last year's class.
Billy Sharber, treasurer, pointed out
that Mr. F. D. Duncan accepted the
money allotted last year's seniors
and the responsibility of seeing that
it was done.
Mr. Tuton is president of tfhe 1955-
56 senior class and projects of the
1954-55 class are no responsibility
of his class, and they should not be
burdened with such.

Believer in Education and Friends
Besides preparing one for the fu-
ture, Rut feels that by attending
� ge one has the opportunity to
broaden one's outlook on life. The
varied program, presented through
the entertainment series help to en-
courage one's interest in different
types of music and she believes, also,
t. at the various organizations and
discussion groups which are held reg-
ularly help develop one's own ideas
and philosophies. Ruth thinks that
perhaps the most valuable asset, oth-
er than an education, is friends.
'�College really aids one in meeting
new ; eople and acquiring true
friends sfl e explained. Ruth counts
as one of her most compensating
activities that of aiding Roberta Pat-
ron, blind student from Marion, with
her reading and preparation of as-
. merits.
Ruth, as do most seniors approach-
. g graduation, eels a bit sad when
she realizes til is is her last year, but
expresses her feelings in this way,
�'il hate to leave all my friends,

I'll miss it more than anything else

ing the spring quarter. Also, we

has any of this talent, please let it
be known.
Movies Are Better Than Ever
The movies on the campus this year
have been of very exceptional quali-
ty. Many of the students who have
been attending them tell us that they
are really thrilled about having
CinemaScope movies here on the
campus. The new CinemaScope equip-
ment enables the entertainment com-
mittee to acquire newer and better
movie i-eleases. Yes, iihe movie en-
tertainment is really an improve-
ment over that of last year.
Meals and Music
A suggestion has come to us that
popular music be played over the
public address system in the cafe-
teria during dinner (supper). This
by Janet Hill
would give the cafeteria a little more
of an "informal" atmosphere, as well
as he an enjoyment to a considerable
number of the students. What do
you think of the idea ?
Busy or Not?
The phone situation in the dorms
of Ragsdale. Wilson, Fleming and
Jarvis is yet to be abated. Upon in-
quiring about the subject, it was
found that the S.G.A. has no control
over this situation. The only solution
would be for the telephone company
to donate an extra phone to each of
tihese dorms. The result would be
much quicker phone service into, as
well as out of the dormitories, and
the telephone company could not pos-
sibly lose on such an arrangement!
The Bad and the Beautiful
Last week for the first time the
girls obtained an inside view of the
boys' new dormitory, Umstead Hall.
And, from all reports, the girls were
very impressed by the hospitality
shown them as well as the beauty
of the dorm. In comparison to Um-
stead, Uhe girls' dormitories (exclud-
ing Ragsdale) are in a rather dilap-
idated state and would not merit
such an "open house However, the
girls are looking forward to having
a beautiful new dorm of their own in
'he near future at which time they
too will be able to entertain the rest
of the campus at "open house
Seen 'n' Heard
A girl in Wilson Hall excitedly
rushed down to the parlor to greet
her date. As she was getting ready
fo leave the dorm with her escort,
she rushed madly into the office to
sign out. No sooner had she left
her date than sne returned slightly
embarrassed. She had forgotten his
NAME!
Tt're announcement or a Thanks-
giving Dance created quite a bit of
discussion among some co-eds in the
cafeteria one night. As one girl heard
the announcement she asked WHY
a dance was being held then. Another
co-ed volunteered bhat it was an
"exam dance And, a third replied,
"Yes, it'a to get you in the mood
An amusing incident occurred dur-
ing o; en house in Umstead Hall last
week. A junior returned to his room
Tuesday night and upon retiring for
the night found thiat some vexy
mischievous girls had "short-sheeted"

Susan Hayward Stars

"Untamed starring Susan Hay-
ward, beautiful belle of eighteenth-
century Ireland, and Tyrone Power
as an interpreter and guide for ex-
peditions in Africa, will be shown in
Austin auditorium Saturday night at
7 o'clock.
Richard Egan plays opposite Miss
Hayward as her first husband. After
his death in Africa, she marries Ty-
rone Power, but is unable to hold
him. Howtever, her sudden acquisition
of wealth brings him back again,
and although they face many prob-
lems, their love for each other gives
them strength to overcome the prob-
lems.

College professors often are sent "revie
copies of new books by publishers hopeful of
taining complimentary quotations for their adver-
tising. Sometimes these books are pretty dull. A
Columbia professor has an intriguing way f dis-
posing of such unwanted books. He sends them
on to unsuspecting friends and with each he en-
closes a note, ostensibly from the author, reading:
"I hope you will be pleased with the reference
made to you in this book and will have do objec-
tion to the use of your name in this manner
The chief enjoyment the professor derives from
such books comes from the picture he conjure-
up of his friends wading through the volumes
vainly searching to find their names in print.

Controversial Currents
Social Frats Here?
by Oliver Williams
At the first of the year, this column invited
all student comments on subjects that were of
interest to all of the students. This week we re-
ceived a letter from a student voicing his opinion
on social fraternities. Since we think that many
other students feel the same way about fraterni-
ties, we decided to print the complete letter.
"At present ve are faced with several prob-
lems: Crowded dormitories, long lines in the caf-
eteria, and the uninhabited wilderness that is
our school on weekends. Of all these the latter is
by far the worst. Why does this condition exist9
To go directly to the point, there's just nothing
here on the weekend for us to do. Also, there's the
ever present temptation of those good meals at
home.
Tihese items have been discussed with a
proper amount of vigor, but as yet I haven't
heard of a solution that would in any way rectify
these circumstances. There is a solution that
would help to some degree, but it or nothing else
is a 'cure all Possibly National Social Fraterni-
ties would help. There are many arguments
against th.s line of thought, the primary one being
the formation of a clique. I hate to be the one
to say it, but this would not be an innovation,
since such groups are already in existence.
Another argument against this proposal is
that it might destroy the friendly atmosphere of
ECC. Of course, this atmosphere is by far more
valuable to us than any number of fraternities or
social functions, but ECChas grown to the point
that there aren't enough facilities to take care of
a student body of nearly three thousand. Futher-
more, I personally don't think that" we have the
caliber of students that would become unfriendly
simply because of being a member of a fraternity
Your fellow student,
Jerry Willis
No doubt the opinions expressed by this stu-
dent about social fraternities are the opinions of
many other students, who are anxious to see East
Carolina grow socially as well as educationally,
etc. It is possible that social fraternities would
alleviate some of the problems and conditions
mentioned in the above letter.
As a rule, the administration is willing to go
along with the students at least part way on all
subjects and problems. For many years, however,
the problem of social fraternities has for some
reason been shunned, and quickly quietened. How-
ever, if we continue to voice ourselves as one fel-
low student has done, maybe some solution can
be reached.

Lenoir Rhyne's North State Confer-
ence leaders remained unbeaten as
t ey made their lone out-of-etate trip
of he year to beat Emory and Henry
20-9. It was the sixth straight vic-
tory for the Bears with the only
blemisth on thedr record being a 13-13
tie wi h Newberry. While the Bears
were venturing in non-conference ter-
i rtory, the championship picture back
home became a little plainer.
The most important contest of the
week saw a fired-up East Carolina
team defeat the defending North
State Champions; Appalachian, 13-0,
at Greenville. The Pirates, led by
Quarterback Dick Cherry and Half
Lack Harold O'Kelly, tallied two
touchdowns in tve final half while
the BOC line completely throttled
he Apps' running attack.
It was the third straight win in
conference play for the .Pirates as
they moved into second place in the
North Sate standings. After losing
two early season games to Lenoir
Rhyne and Catawba, the Bucs bowled
over Elon, Western Carolina, and Ap-
palachian in succession. It was the
last conference game for tihe Pirates;
hus they are definitely out of the
championship picture.
Another important conference tilt
saw Elon blast Western Carolina's
hopes of a conference crown with a
mild 19-7 upset. It was the first vic-
tory of the season for the Christians
and also marked the first points they
scored in loop competition. It was the
final conference game for the Cata-
mounts and dropped them from a
second place tie to fourth place in

Spartans Rated
Heavy Favorites
Over Buccaneers
by Bill Boyd
Saturday night's gridiron clash
wi h Tampa University will ring
down the curtain on the 1955 season
ror East Carolina's Fighting Pirates,
as the �ririt"d Bucs play host to the
mighty Spartans of Florida. Kickoff
time for the non-conference tilt is
slated for 8 p.m. at College Stadium.
Coached by Marcelino Huerta Jr
Tampa boasts a highly touted line
and backfield. Their offense is pri-
marily 'he same type as East Caro-
lina's witih a sli variation in line
plays. The Spartans were Cigar Bowlj
Cham;ions la.st year and have been
in the Sunshine State Classic four
times in the last seven years. They
proved 'heir power when they handed
Appalachian, the 1954 North State
Conference title holder, an impressive
26 to 20 setback last year. Tampa
has lost only a few of its top per-
formers since that time. Quarterback
Bill Minahan is expected to lead the
Spartans' offensive attack. The stoc-
ky athlete can run and pass with
equal ability. Al Leathers and Ace
Herdon will probably start in the
nalfback slots. Fullback will be held
down by Tom Spack who is some-
times referred to as "The Tank
Spack stands 5' 8" tall and weighs a
.solid 190 pounds. Tampa has defeated
the Pirates in both of their previous
meetings in 1954 and 1953.
Cherry Back In Fold
Quarterback Dick Cherry has come
into his cmn to dominate the Pirate
pigskin spotlight of late. East Caro-
lina's offensive hopes lie in the ball-
handling ability of both Cherry and
Mil on Collier. Collier, a headstrong
aerialist in his own right, will be
counted upon heavily to assist Cherry
in thw f lal grid affair. Harold
O'Kf 1 Bob Perry will probably
get .ng nod at the halfback
pos ,s. Hustling Bob Maynard will
sta at fullback,

dominant figure in the Buc line, will
be at the center position as usual, and
is again expected to lead the forward
wall. Paul Popov, Ken Burgess and
Richard Monds will see a lot of ac-
tion in the guard slots. Heading the
list of tackles slated for heavy duty
are Ray Overton, Charlie Smith, Jer-
ry Brooks and Waverly Chesson. At
the end positions will be Bill Helms,
J. D. Bradford, Ray Pennington and
Bob Corrway. Pennington and Brad-
ford are prime targets for Cherry's
passes.
Coaches Jack Boone, Jim Mallory
and Earl Smi.h have high hopes of a
Pirate victory. When kickoff time
takes place Saturday night, Pirate
fans will be seeing the 1955 Bucs in
action for the last time. A large
crowd ia expected at College Stadium
to witness these two highly-touted
teams clash in what should prove
to be one of the better contests of
the 1955 season.
The irst few days of December
will be busy ones for two sections of
the Bast Carolina athletic setup, tfte
swimming team and basketball squad.
Coach Ray Martinez' hard-working
poolsters are indulging in various
�xerci-s a and drills at the present
ime, steadily getting into shape for
a very rugged schedule that will get
underway beginning December 2. The
Buc aquamen wall compete against
WVrfford, Davidson and Clemson on
three consecutive afternoons to start
he water season off with a real bang.
Hoopsters Face Phillips Team
East Carolina basketball fans will
get a chance to see how the Pirate
hoopsters stack up against top-flight
competition when they meet the Phil-
lips Oilers in Wilmington on Decem-
ber 8. The Oilers are classified as a
semi-pro aggregation, but play in a
1 ague that has boasted such All-
America performers as Clyde Lovel-
ette (Kansas), Dick Groat (Duke),
Mark Workman (W. Virginia), and
BiiM Spivey (Kentucky). The game
will, of course, be an exhibition con-
test and will haive no importance in
North State Conference ratings, al-
though it will give Pirate opponents
a preview of Coach Howard Porter's
crew.
Though Porter's starting group is
:ot yet decided upon, the cagey hard-
wood mentor will have some fine
material to draw from. All-Confer-
ence forward Don Harris, a 6-2 sen-
sation from Laurinburg, will be back
with several boys who saw plenty of
action last season. Lanky Nick Nich-
ols and 6-4 Guy Mendenhall formed
a one-t"wo scoring punch against 1954-
55 opponents that drew praise from
coaches, fans, and sports writers
throughout the state. Both these boys
will wear purple and gold against the
enemy in December.
As the 1955 football season draw;
'o a close, the Pirates can boast a
4-4 North State Conference slate.
Coach Jack Boone's boys as of now
have secured a slice of second place
2nd have a fine statistical record In
league play.
The Buchaneer defensive squad, led
by A11-Conference center Louis Hal-
low, has !held Pirate opponents to
measly 26 points in loop competition
and is second only to undefeated
Lenoir Rhyne in defense concerning
all games.
Strong Defense
Outstanding all season in the tough
Buc line have been Ken Burgess,
J rry Brooks, Paul Popov, Bill Helms,
Ray Pennington, Dick Monds, Waver-
ly Chesson, Ray Overton, Chester
Rogerson, J. D. Bradford, Tommy
Waggoner, and Bobby Clark. The
ECC secondary has been strong with
Dick Cherry, Milton Collier, Harold
O'Kelly, Bobby Perry, and Bob May-
nard leading the way.
Although the Greenville gridders
did not run away with top honors
this season, fans and students alike
can be proud of the performance of
East Carolina's footballers. The coach-
es nor the players will offer any
alibis or excuses, but it must be re-
membered that for the Pirates, this
was a year of rebuilding a machine
hat was damaged by graduation in
1954. It has been an experimental
year for the local coaches and one
which will undoubtedly bring plenty
of favorable results next season.
