Plans Drawn
For Two New
Men Dormitories
Will Be Constructed
On Tenth Street; Each
Accomodates 512 Men
The Housing and Home Financing
Agency has approved a loan of
$1,425,000 for the construction of two
new men's dormitories here, accord-
ing to an announcement from the
office of President Messick.
Plans Being Completed
Preliminary plans for the buildings
vave been drawn by Eric Flanagan,
who drew the plans for Umstead and
Slay Halls for men and several other
buildings on the campus.
The dorms, which will be located
across Tenth Street on a tract of
land acquired by the college 3everal
years ago, will include room accom-
modations for approximately 512 men
students. Also included in the plans
are facilities for recreation and a
cafeteria.
Act Passed
An act passed by the State Legis-
lature now enables the University of
North Carolina, North Carolina State,
Bast Carolina, Appalachian, and
Western Carolina to borrow money
from the Federal Government for the
purpose of building dormitories.
In applying for the loan, the agency
was informed of the dire need for
housing facilities here and pointed
out that approximately 500 men stu-
dents are now living off the campus
awaiting dormitory rooms.

Department Progresses
The department was founded Jan-
uary 1, 1936 when two teachers were
hired. Dr. E. R. Browning, one of the
original instructors, is now head of
the department. At that time the
department was located on the top
floor of Austin Building, but was
moved to the Flanagan Building in
1941. Offering only teacher training
courses, the first graduating class
in 1940 consisted of six graduates
in the field of business.
Nineteen Staff Members
At the present time there are nine-
teen instructors in the department
which includes two Certified Public
Accountants and five instructors with
doctorates. The curriculum has now
been expanded to seven areas instead
of the one teaching curriculum.
Thirteen classrooms are now being
used and more than eight hundred
have taken courses in the business
department this year.

Duty Is Calling
Duty is calling- us. We have a date with des-
tiny. Whore do you fit in this picture? March 15
is the date of campus elections, but now is the
time to start giving serious thought to this mat-
ter. Each year students are urged to vote, but a
large number seem to think this is merely a
matter of form. Excuses for not voting outweigh
the reason why we should take a few minutes to
walk over to the polls and cast our ballot.
What is the reason for having elections,
then? Why not let a few people get together and
appoint the officers to head our classes and the
SGA? Maybe you don't like that idea. That just
v tiUint be right, you would say. The only time
we get disturbed is when someone suggests taking
away some of our privileges. Taking advantage
of them is a different item; that would require
some action on our part.
Student elections are only one step removed
from national elections. We have no age restric-
tion. .All that is necessary is to be a member of
the East Carolina College student body. Many
people have not voted in national elections be-
cause they have never formed the habit of casting
their ball t each election period. Now is as good
a time as any to become interested in elections
anil acquire the habit of registering to vote and
voting. Then, when we have reached the age of
twenty-one it is easy for us to seek out informa-
tion and put it to use in local and national elec-
ti ns. The main thing is getting started.
.Many times elections are won and lost, not
by the number of people who voted against the
candidate, but by the number who did not vote
but were eligible to vote. If someone gets into
office who is not as capable as the other candi-
date, the person who did not vote helped him just
as much as his supporters.
If you like someone, you call him your
friend. If you hate someone you call him your
m my. Here there is a definite distinction. You
are not being asked to like or dislike someone,
but to be willing to show by your ballot whom
you think is the better candidate for the office.
A man is as he does. His character is reflect-
ed in his actions. You will show "of what stuff
you are made" when March 15 comes. Will you
neglect your duty?�JFR
Why Education?
"Don't fall into the vulgar idea that the mind
is a warehouse, and education but a process of
ffing it full of good
Education is not absorbing as a reservoir.
It is living, moving, and it is motion. It is what
some call progress others change. Change in the
sense that one thinks of life meaning the living.
"The aim of education should be to convert
the mind into a living fountain, and not a reser-
voir
Man holds in his hands the keys to the gates
of knowledge. The earth is his and everything
in it if he opens these gates. How simple to fit
a key and with a twirl of the lock open the gates.
But which key will he choose? Education is
many different keys as there are many different
people. Man is one and only one signifying that
Cod gives to all the innate quality of individuali-
ty. Individual�the word is not to be taken light-
ly. For everything save God which is created is
by the gift of reason.
However, it is not to be interpreted that this
writer assumes that any creativity is without the
help of God. For all expression is the inspiration
of the divine.
From education the power of saying, doing,
and being takes place today�at this very moment.
Aristotle says "all who have meditated on the
art of governing mankind have been convinced
that the fate of empires depends on the education
of youth Ah, is it not by these words that gov-
ernment is? For Napoleon said "it is public in-
struction which should be the first object of gov-
ei nment
Why? The question is, why education? Edu-
cation opens the gates leading to decision. It is
decision as the choice of virtue or vice. The choice
of the pursuit of happiness in the stnse of achiev-
ing.
In the book of Ephesians Paul writes in Chap-
t( r 4, "But into every one of us is given grace
a cording to the measure of the gift of Christ
A nd in another verse he says, "And He gave some,
Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evange-
lists; and some, pastors and teachers
To everyone is given the gift of reason. It has
already been mentioned, the assumpton is that
reasoning is the gift of being an individual.
It is not a privilege but the duty to develop
i very God-given talent by education. Some may
have only one, others many. Yet, the one who by
education takes his talent and polishes, shines,
and uses it to the fullest of its end, enters the
g'ates of knowledge which by the grace of God
may lead him to the life of immortality.�Jonnie

Reply To A Letter,
What To Do With
Richard Nixon
IN REGARD TO MR. JOHN F.
QUIiNN'S letter addressed to me in
today's paper, I would like to make
the following remarks: First, I would
like to say that Mr. Juinn evidently
interpreted the article and thoughts
to fit his own beliefs. Mr. Quinn
implies that I was trying to associate
eighteenth century politics and
thoughts to today's problems. Mr.
Quinn, what I was trying to do was
to show how we as a nation could
(profit from the mistakes that were
made during the Civil War era. One
reason we study history is because
it gives us an opportunity to profit
from our mistakes, is it not?
No, I would not like to return to
the nineteenth century. I think the
South is in a better position to detfend
its rights in this century!
Instead of being disgraced, I think
Mr. Lincoln would be pleased. You
see, Mr. Lincoln possessed traits of
which few of our leaders today can
boast; namely, he was willing to
subordinate personal beliefs when
they were not in tune with the times
and conditions of the country.
u agree with you that the South-
erner will have to stay in the gutter
if he tries to keejp the Negro there.
If you will read my column, "Must
We Desegregate, Mr. Adlai?" I think
you will find that I made this point
very clear.
I also realize that the point you
made about the South and the Re-
publican party is pathetically true.
However, it's not because of the tar.
ifi legislation as much as it is the
big business legislation. Yet, just
because we can't support the Repub-
lican party doesn't make me love
the Democrats.
In regard to your last remark that
you hoped your letter would draw
some of the liberal students on cam-
pus out of hiding to combat such
"squad demogogues" as I, I have this
remark: Such combat and mud-sling-
ing will not alter my beliefs. My
mother always told me that when I
got mud on my clothes, not to try to
rub it off immediately. "Always let
it dry slie used to say, "then you
can THUMP it off I admire you
for expressing your beliefs in writing,
but when you try to combat my
beliefs, I will consider it "as mud

Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina College
PE Major Active In Campus Affairs
by Florence Baker
FINALLY, IKE HAS made his
decision. He wants a second term.
Whether Ike would run again was
never a question or worry to some
of us. I'm wondering what they're
going to do with Nixon. By now all
of the Republicans must agree with
us about their little boy. One way
to remedy the situation would be to
create that .post of second vice-
president (handshaking job) that
Hoover has been yakking about, or
Letter still just ship him back to
California.
NOW THAT THE QUARTER HAS
JUST BEGUN, this columnist would
like to advise students to get down
to work. Why donH you use some of
the new techniques that are being
employed on many college campuses?
For instance, a lot of students are
still using the outdated method of
laughing the very minute a profes-
sor cracks a joke. A better way to
reapond and probably earn a higher
grade is this:
(1) When the professor cracks a
joke, look puzzled for a moment.
(2) Just before the professor starts
to looking groom, apply a facial
expression which indicates that you
have just caught on.
(3) Then give out a big laugh.
(Continue until the desired effect
has been accomplished or until you
are sure that you have earned a
"one
This method (patent has been ap-
plied for) promises to be more effec-
tive than the one many students now
use.
East Carolinians can wholehearted-
ly agree that our college possesses
quite a few outstanding students, and
high on the list of these is a Physical
Education major from Chocowinity,
O'Brien Edwards.
As vice-president of the Student
Government, O'Brien is greatly in-
terested in all student activities and
he feels that more participation and
interest by students in Student Gov-
ernment and its activities would make
he S.G.A. a great deal more effec-
tive.
O'Brien, who is seeking a B. S.
degree in Physical Education and So-
cial Studies, plans a teaching career
after graduation and would like to
teach, preferably, in some Targe high
school in the vicinity of Raleigh.
Varied Activities
O'Brien's activities while in college
have been quite varied. Besides his
work in Student Government he has
been a member of the Circle K, the
Y3I.C.A Jarvis Forensic, and the
Young Democrats. He was also
chairman of the ring committee and
a member off the track team this
year. This past fall he was one of
E.C.Cs representatives at the State
Student Legislature in Raleigh and
while there he was elected Sgtat-
Arais of the House of Representa-
tives. O'Brien states that this was the
most enjoyable thing he has partici-
pated in during his college career.
He also served as a delegate for the
Circle K at the Kiwanis Club con-
vention in Winston-Salem. But for
all his activities and positions,
O'Brien considers his biggest honor
that of having been chosen as one
of the students in "Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universities
Favors Social Frats
As an exceptionally active student
O'Brien Edwards
O'Brien states, "I think extracurricu-
lar activities are very good. They
bring out outstanding qualities and
capabilities in a person, but I think,
sometimes, a person can become so
invoke! in outside work that his
school work fails At this joint
O'Brien stated his opinion on social
fraternities, "I'd like to see social
fraternities because I think they
would stimulate more school spirit at
1-all games and more competition
during student elections. And I don't
think it would ruin the friendliness
of the school
Likes EC's Friendliness
In O'Brien's opinion East Caro-
lina's most striking characteristic is
its friendliness. He feels that even
though the school is big and growing
bigger every year, the teachers still
take persona interest in the stu-
dents and their activities.
When asked if he thought East
Carolina could be in any way im-
piovcd O'Brien answered, "E. C. isn't
functioning a9 well as it probably
could because it's in a growing stage
and whenever anything is in the midst
of progressing il isn't at its best
He continues, "There isn't enough
space available for the number of
students we have here and, also, the
traffic situation is poor, but the
Administration and the S.G.A. are in
I e process of solving the problem
Since there's been quite a bit of
controversy on the subject of student
attendance at various concerts and
�the like presented on campus O'Brien
voiced his idea on the subject, "The
entertainment brought here is of the
highest type of quality, but there
t.ems to be too much repetition as
far as vocalists and pianists are
concerned He continued, "If there
were more variation, I think there
would be better attendance
O'Brien also had a bit to say on
the present cut system. He stated,
"Although I've been a liberal colter,
I think the present cut system is fine.
Other colleges aren't as fortunate as
we are in having such a liberal cut
system. I think it works fine
Sports Enthusiast
O'Brien is a sports enthusiast and
has taken part in all intramural
sports on camlpus. Among his per-
sonal int rests he enjoys playing ten-
nis and at present is learning bo play
Bridge which to him is a quite fas-
cinating game. He likes all kinds of
dancing and feels that the informal
dances in the College Union have
been the best addition the college has
had in quite a while. O'Brien also
thinks that there should be more
card dances when big dances are held.
That way students would have a
chance to mingle and meet more
people.

Around The Campus
Comments About A Campus Radio Station
by Janet Hill and Martha Wilson
About the Radio Station
In accordance with Jim Warner's
letter to the editors published in the
last issue of the East Carolinian, we
have inquired "around campus" into
the situation concerning the possi-
bilities of having a campus radio
station.
First of all, is there a real need
for such a station? At present, all
the musical programs, many forums the library. According to Vice Presi
and speeches, and various other aent F. D. Duncan, this equipment
is going to be installed in the near
future and can be used at that time
for live broadcasting over Greenville's
events art taped and sent out to
nearby ratio stations. Approximately
ten stations use these tape record-
ings, providing an excellent oppor-
tunity for local students and the
public to hear worthwhile programs.
It is true that radio equipment la
now available in the radio room of
Reader's Comment
Downs Williams For Recent Article On Lincoln
Dear Editors:
In reference to Oliver Williams'
most recent Negro-baiting article of
February 17, I, as an admirer of
Abraham Lincoln, should like to re-
quest that he does not, in the future,
disgrace that great man's name by
placing imaginary words upon his
lips and calling upon him to witnes
your iniquities. To state, as he did,
that "if" Mr. Lincoln were living in
1956 he would oppose the NAACP
is haphazard reporting at its best,
if not highly inaccurate.
fit is true, as he says, that Lincoln
valued the preservation of the Union
more highly than the freedom of
shaves. It is gracious of him to con-
cede this poin; Lincoln had been
. J. D. Henry much calumniated, during his presi-
Billy Arnold dential years, bytthe majority of less
enlightened Southerners, for his being
(Kupf;osedly) a rabid abolitionist and
a South-hating monster, they not rea-
lizing that in the Republican party
of the day he was the greatest friend
that the South could have had, and
a man who, had he lived, would
have saved the Soutii from the post-
war reconstruction vultures in his
party.
It is highly faUactous for one to
apply the politics and thoughts of
the 1860's to the present day situa-
tion. The Negro of the former day
was regarded by law as property.
Today he is regarded by law�and
by the more truly Christian among
us�as a citizen and a human being.
Therefore, Mr. Williams, please do
not attempt to weld together two
incompatible eras; it is now the 20th
Century�or do you favor a return
to the 19th Century and slavery?
As to your s jmen!ts pertaining
to Mr. Stevenson: lif, because of the
tatter's pro-integration stand, the
Southerner throws away his vote on
the Republican tariff-gag�it's the
Southerner's funeral.
"The whole of a 'culture' is on-ly as
good as the least of its jparts If
the Southerner wishes to keep the
Nugro in the gutter he must stay
there with him.
I sincerely hope that this article
will draw some of the more liberal
students on this campus (and I know
there are many) out of hiding to
combat the squalid demogogues.

WCTC or far other purposes.
In view of the fact that programs
are already being broadcast on tape
by surrounding radio stations and
that within a few months programs
can be broadcast over station WGTC,
is it really necessary for the college
to have its own private set-up? Who
would compose the required staff of
such a station? Couldn't the college
provide money for perhaps a needier
purpose?
Miss Rosalind Roulaton, director of
Bast Carolina's Radio and Television
Series, commented, "I am most eager
to see any student interested in work-
ing with any phase of radio or tele-
vision�tape recording, writing, ad-
vertising, or engineering. I should be
glad to have them work with me or
to herp them develop their own pro-

Controversial Currents
Ike Says "Yes"
by Bobby Hall
While the Republicans are shouting "Ha -
lujah" all over the nation about Ike's dt
run for re-election, what about Mam. the
Democratic leaders? As we know, la
Ike wanted to paint the barn on his farm
tysburg, Mrs. Eisenhower chose the c
Evidently Mamie has lost control ver

decision to run again went along with tl
tion of 70 per cent of the American people, a
ing to the Gallup Poll. However, our g ivei
Luther Hodges, was not among the 7'1 per cent.
He predicted Ike would not run and re-affiri
this belief at his last news conference.
How does this decision affect the Democratic
Party? If former President Harry S. Truman I
right, it does not. Mr. Truman stated after Ike's
decision, "We can beat anybody Following are
some of the comments of National I
leaders upon hearing Ike's decision:
Democratic National Chairman Paul B

How does this affect the Republican Par!
As stated before they are shouting "Hallelujah
and think Ike is the best choice for the Party.
However, there is probably some doubt in
minds of those being considered for the r
tion. Especially Nixon and Knowland. Following
are comments made by Republican leaders:
Republican National Chairman 1
Hall: "The best possible news for all America;
Sen. Knowland (Calif): "The campaign ol
1956 will be a hard one and must not be taken
for granted
Senator Aiken (Vt) said of the President's
remarks: "I don't believe you would pet such
frankness as that out of any other capital in the
world. . . . There will be no one else seriously
considered for the Republican nomination
Now the question comes up if Ike is nomi-
nated as to who will be his running mate. This is
what Vice President Richard Nixon would like to
know. Eisenhower said it is too early to pick the
number two man. He repeated he had unbounded
admiration and respect for Nixon and "I am
very fond of him
Now that Ike has miade the decision to run.
fully knowing his condition and the risk, the peo-
ple should not feel obligated to vote for him
thinking he is making a sacrifice but should vote
for the man possessing the best capabilities.

out to be Marilyn Monroe, who not
only smokes but claims to like sugar
in her martinis, and boasts of posing

distress tfcat he begins to dream of
being pursued by Marilyn and other
girls. He is swept by alternate tides
o temptation and remorse as Miss
Monroe strolls about his apartment
in a series of costume changes, each
more inviting than the last.
At first Ewell believes he is in
love with Marilyn, but later realizes
it is his wife he loves.
East Carolina's tennis aspirants
were out in full force during the
.past week. Coach Pvaymond Martinez
has sounded the call and a good
turnout has been in attendance, be-
ginning early drill.
Among the returning lettermen are
such standouts as Gene Lilley, Mau-
rice Everette, Gil Underwood, . and
Al Webb. This year's team will be
built around these four boys.
The Pirates will face a schedule
that consists of some of the area's
leading teams. On this slate are At-
lantic Christian, Kenyon College of
Ohio. Guilford, N. C. State, Elon,
High Point, Appalachian, and Lenoir
Rhyne. Coach Martinez stated that
thero is the possibility that a few
more matches will be scheduled.
The next week will be devoted to
fundamental drills and intrasquad
competition. Among the schools that
will be faced by the Pirate racketeers
on the home counts are Atlantic
Christian, Kenyon College, Guilford,
and Lenoir Rhyne.

leading teams in the North State

men, Mallory stated that 1956'� crew

The returning members are pitch-
ers Bill Loving, Charles Russell and
Mack Cherry, inifielders Bucky Ree,
Jerry Stewart and Nick Smothers,
and outfielders Ray Penmington and
Gene Turner.
Turner Strong Batter
Coach Mallory has expressed the
belief that this coming season will
produce a stronger team at the plate
than laat season's outfit. Gene Turner,
only a sqphomore, led the squad last
season in tihe homerun department,
blasting out seven, and is expected
to be even more of a threat this year.
Smothers, a gigantic first baseman,
a also one of the top power-sluggers
expected to aid Buccaneer scoring.
Among the group of newcomers to
the Pirate pitching staff, which Mal-
lory hclpes to strengthen this year,
are Tommy Harkey, formerly of
Campbell College, Ben Baker of Wen-
dell, Bob Lilley of Tarijoro, Bob Mil-
ler of Bessemer, Mac McFerguson of
Wilmington and A. J. Rose.
Big Three Hurlers
Harkey, who hurled several no-
hitters wihile at Campbell, is, in Mal-
lory's words, "one of the best pitchers
in college baseball Harkey, Cherry

Last season, Mallory's nine posted
a fine 20-6 record, the best in the

THE
CROWS
NEST
by Billy Arnold
Looking back over the (past four
months of basketball, there are many
things for East Carolina cage fans
to find interest in. Naturally, the
fact that the Pirates copped the
regular season crown for the second
time in three years with a fine 13-3
mark was the high point of the cam-
paign for local enthusiasts�but aside
from moments of happiness and pride,
ECC fans can look back on incidents
that produced comedy, pity, sorrow,
and downright hilarity.
Buchannon Was Funny
Among the incidents falling into
the last category was the comedy act
of Atlantic Christian's Kim Buchan-
non�or was it a tumbling act? Any-
way, it was tremendously funny. The
former N. C. State star, in his two
encounters with the Bucs, spent more
time on his back than on his feet. . . .
And then, there were the injuries
that affected several Pirate members.
Of course, the most publicized was
Freddy James' dislocated shoulder.
However, there was also J. C. Thom-
as' intestinal troubles and Nick Nich-
ols' shoulder sprain, the injured an-
kles of Don Harris and Joe Plaster.
Another bright spot in Buc ball
came when Captain J. C. Thomas
and junior Don Harris were named
to the All-Conference squad. . . .
A pitiful exhibition was put on by
an opposing North State basketball
coach, who, when his team was re-
treating to the dressing room, far
behind the Pirates at halftime, stop-
ped to jaw loudly at several ECC!
students in the north lobby. The men-
tor, turning red fn the face, inferred
that the only reason ECC was unde-
feated in Memorial Gym (and the
only reason his team was being ter-
ribly slaughtered) was that the ref-
erees ALWAYS favored Coach How-
ard Porter's crew at home. And
while the red-jowled coach was argu-
ing himself even redder In the face,
his team sat alone, dejjtwted and
neglected below. . . .
Elon Won Title
Elon, which the Bucs trounced
105-69 (honestly, we might add), went
on to outscore all opponents in the
North State Tournament, taking the
conference crown. This was perhaps
one of the best quintets ever to wear
Christian colors. . . .
One of the most celebrated feats
the PurpIe-and-Gold accomplished
this season was preserving their
string of victories in Memorial
("jinx") Gym. The Pirate five roared
through some of its toughest compe-
tion on the home court, continuing
a brilliant 48-game win streak at the
end of the campaign. . . .
All in all, the recent 1955-56 season
of basketball has been one of the
most successful in Pirate history,
loaded with an array of sidelights
that have made it also one of the
most interesting.

Administration of entrance tests

are among changes which will be
recommended to the college adminis-

on Admission and Retention of Stu-

John I Messaok.
Vice President Leo W. Jenkins,
committee chairman, and a group of
faculty members serving with him
began several weeks ago at President
Ifearick's request a study of policies
relating to admission and retention
of students. A preliminary report
based on answers to a questionnaire
submitted to faculty members was
discussed at a staff meeting last
week and will be followed by formal
recommendations for action.
Conrmenting on the study of ad-
missions, President Messick said this
week, "While the policy of the college
aas been to admit no student whose
hijr' scl xrf yrades are below a C
average, increased enrollment with
limited facilities makes it a necessity
that the number of students at East
