At Columbia Press Meet Newspaper Awarded First-Place Rating Mr. Frank J. Reynolds Creative Writers Do you have any short stories, essays, or poems you have writ- ten? The English Club would like very much io have them. There will be a section in the "East Carolinian" featuring creative writings by students on our cam- pus. A prize of five dollars will be given for the best poem, fic- tion, and non-fiction submitted. A limitation of 1,500 words has been set on the short story. So, if you have any work yon would like to see printed, why not share it with others on the campus? Do not forget to drop your entries into the basket iabcJed "Creative Wttng" m Miss Greene's office in Austin 107. All entries must be in by April 5, 1066. For the fifth consecutive year the! "East Carolinian" received First! Place rating in the annual national j rating of college newspapers at the 32nd annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention in New York City. Classifications were rated from medalist, the top honor, to fourth place. The "East Carolinian" is a member of the senior colleges and universities division of the C&PA. First Place rating is judged from 850 to 1,000 points maximum. Newspapers were judged by out- rtanding authorities in journalism and were rated on the basis of con- tent, writing, editing, general ari- pearance, advertising, headlines and general considerations. Ten delegates from the newspaper and the college yearbook attended the OSPA convention and took part in its activities March 1447. The convention closed Saturday with a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria Ho- tel. lAttnding the convention from East Carolina representing the news- paper were Jimmy- Ferrell, editor; Oliver Williams, managing editor; J. D. Henry, photographer; Janet Hill, Lature editor; staff reporter Martha Wilson, and circulation man- ager Purvis Boyette. Co-editors for next year, Shirley Morton Smith and Ike Williamson, Jo Ann DeBruhl, who will be business manager, and Dwight Smith, staff member, were yearbook representa- tives at the meet. The contest drew nearly 1,500 en- tries, the biggest field since the first contest in 1925. In the senior college division, approximately 75 publica- tions were rated and the "East Caro- linian" ranked sixth. The number of points received by the pajper has not been received yet. Pat Everton Represents East Carolina At Azalea Festival Amid the beauty and splendor of th Azalea Festival, which begins in Wilmington April 6, will shine E.C.Cs lovely Patricia Everton. Pat, chosen by the S.G.A. to represent East Carolina, will be joined by other beauties throughout the state repre- senting their r.ective colleges. Pat, a" 21-year-old junior, is a Primary Educatici major from Co- lumbia, N. C Tha fair-haired Miss has been quit; ae-ive while attending East Carolina rnd her activities prove that si e la is versatile as she is pretty. Inelud 1 in her extracur- ricular work are the College Choir; the A.C.E of which she will act a-s president for the coming year; and the S.G.A in which she will be next year's historian. She is also a mem- ber of Fleming Hall's House Commit- to- and SGA representative for the Junior Class. Pat is sure to represent East Caro- lina in the best way possible since she has had quite a bit of experience in this type of event. In 1954 she was Miss Tyrrell County in the Albe- marle Potato Festival held in Eliza- beth City and under the same title entered the Miss North Carolina con- test at Burlington. Last year Pat was a Group Sponsor for the local R.O.T.C. Leaving Thursday, April 5, Pat will be entertained the entire week- end by a series of tours, teas, and dinners. Along with other representa- tives, she will ride a special float in the big parade on Saturday. Although she is almost a veteran in events of this caliber, Pat's green eyes sparkle and a soft smile curves her lips as she says, "It's the biggest honor I've ever had FAMVWO jat fAit CAI0C!KU? THURSDAY, MARCH na 1 A Worthwhile Project Quoting from the Rocky Mount High School newspaper: "Honor! What is honor? Honor is self-respect. It is not tangible, but is found in the heart. It is an individual trait. Honor is brought out by the actions, character, and beliefs of a person. "For a person to be honest, he must refrain from all forms of lying, cheating, or stealing. Everyone has a different idea of honesty, but these should be a part of all honor ideas. "Maybe you say 'Why shouldn't I cheat when I can get away with it?' Remember, there is a Supreme Being that lives on high who knows and sees everything. He sees you. Also you and your conscience know it, and you have to live with yourself. To be honest remember these words To thy own self be true and you cannot be false to any man " It has long been the opinion of many stu- dents that East Carolina should have some type of honor system in order to combat some of the cheating that occurs. Cheating is a large problem, particularly during the examination periods. It occurs frequently throughout the entire year, however. It has become such a problem that the Stu- dent Government Association has appointed "a committee to study the possibilities of some type of honor system. A questionnaire was drawn up and submitted to the student body to be filled out and returned. However, this does not mean that an honor system has been developed. If anything is done about the cheating situa- tion, it will take the cooperation of a majority of students. It cannot be done by a few. Students should begin thinking seriously about the cheat- ing problem. In regard to the Honor System, President Messick, when interviewed on the subject, stated: "I would be very happy if we had the Honor Sys- tem here. When the students are ready to accept the responsibilities of assuming this task that is of such great proportions, I would be very happy to recommend its adoption. However, I would not be in favor of endorsing the idea until there was complete acceptance of the responsibilities as well as the privileges on the part of the student body Honor, like everything else, must have roots to grow. It must be taught, first by the family, then the church, and finally the school. So it is that today many schools and colleges are wrest- ling with the problems of honor systems, honor codes, and honor councils. Theories have beer formulated, but it is up to the students them- selves to carry them into operation. It is up to the student whether his honor system is a work- able institution. Those places where this system has met with unquestionable success have found it made possible because of one situation. The old school stigma of a 'tattle tale' was lifted. It is considered a student's duty to report violations of the Honor Cede. If he doesn't do so, he him- self is breaking a provision of the code. We believe that an Honor System is possible at East Carolina College. However, first and foremost, the student body must be behind it. It is a worthwhile project toward which to work. There is much to gain for all of us, but each of us, as an individual, must believe in it sincerely, and wholeheartedly. Newspaper Work Is No Picnic Getting out a newspaper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we're silly. If we don't, they say we're too serious. If we stick to the of- fice all day they think we ought to be out hunting material. If we do go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job at the office. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate genius; if we do print them, the paper is full of junk. If we edit the other fellow's write-up, we're too critical. If we don't, we're asleep. If we clip from other papers, we're t6o lazy to write our- selves. If we don't, we're stuck on our own stuff Now, like as not, some guy will say we swiped this from some newspaper. We did. The East Carolinian got it from the Teco Echo who got it from the Wake Forest Old Gold and Black who got it from the University of Miami Hurricane who borrowed it from the University of Huston who obtained it from the Daily Texan who swiped it from Texas A&M who read it in someone else's paper. Passing Remark Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina College Just Don't Take The Old Boys Too Seriously McKeel Heads Business Education Fraternity by Barbara Cole ACCCRiDjNC TO MR. ALCOCK: mctaubtedly the student body has a:vied by this time that Mr. Alan Vlcock, a candidate in the recent .A presidential race against Dock Smith, feels that t'o East Carolinian is not in the hands of the students bat the administration. His erroneous iccusation has led others to question ! e freedom of this newspaper. Aimoog all the points listed in Mr. Alcock's platform (and there were some dillies) that statement is cer- tainly the most ludicrous. This news- paper is in the students' hands and the students' hands only. No one attempts to censor our material. If Mi. Alcock can prove otherwise, the pages of this publication are open "or any facts which he might present to support such an accusation. HOW HE WAS EVER motivated to draw such a farcical conclusion is still a question which members of this staff would like to have answered. He thoughtlessly attacked an organi- zation of which he is completely ig- norant or has been terribly misin- formed by some party. Also, he questioned the literary style of the paper at last Wednesday right's meeting of the student leg- is; ture. Mr. Alcock felt that it could I elevated No one would question, lm sure, the extent to which any style of writing can be elevated. But, a great majority of the writing found in newspapers?especially straight news articles?consists of a certain distinct style. Whether you are read- ing from the New York Times, The Daily Reflector, or the East Caro- linian, the news stories will usually include who, what, when, where, why, and how in a? concise a manner a possible. Amjng the many outstanding stu- ! dent at East Cai-olina is Justus McKeel, a .senior from Bethel. His ' major is Business Education and his Jimmy Ferrell minor is Social Studies. Several years ago when Justus vis- ited East Carolina College on High j School Day he was greatly impressed by the friendly atmosphere of the campus. He also found out that East Carolina had a good business depart- ment; and, knowing this important fact, he immediately made the deci- sion to make East Carolina his alma mater. Four years here have substanti- ated his first inn. ression of the cam- pus. "If anything, il've grown fonder of the place Justus explains. Works With Buc Justus has been an active student during all of his college years, par- ticipating in many extra-curricula activities. As a sophomore he was ROTC editor of The Buccaneer and as a junior he was activities editor. He went to the press convention in New York as a delegate of the annual staff. Being historian for Phi Sigma Pi and a member of the "Y" cabinet are a few of the many things that occu.y Justus' spare time. He has beer a member of the "Y" since he was a freshman. He is a member of the Future Business Leaders of Amtriea, and was reporter last year. The budget committee meetings of S-GA also require much ana attention. of time Justus McKeel Pi Omega Pi president Last year Justus was elected presi- dent of Pi Omega Pi, the national honorary business education frater- nity. He was a delegate to the na- tional convention of Pi Omega Pi held in Chicago in December, 1954. As president, he has greatly enjoyed working with this fraternity. He com- mented that this office has helped him to become better acquainted with the members of the business department and the leaders of the business world. It has also helped him to realize the importance and the nationwide recognition of the lina. business department at East Caro- lina. ih biggest lonor of all came to Jn us t is year when he was chosen for "Who's Who in American College? and Universities Naturally, he was quite surprised and very happy when he found out about this honor. Comments On Frata When asked for his opinion re- garding social fraternities at East Carolina, Justus replied, "I'm not opposed to them, but would oppose them if they tended to destroy the haimony and friendliness at East Carolina Justus likes East Carolina because, even though it is a fairly large school, a person still has a chance to know a great many people. He likes the closeness and unity of the students and faculty, and believes nothing should be done to destroy this atmosphere. , Favors Honor System "I believe East Carolina needs an honor system, but, more than just a system, we need one we're willing to make work stated Justus when asked what he thought about having an honor system at East Carolina, Justus lists tennis, swimming, and water skiing as the sports he likes best to participate in. Dancing ranks hijr on his list as a favorite pastime. After graduation, Justus plans to g t a job in the accounting field, probably with the GPA. He expects to work somewhere in North Caro- That's The Way I See It' 'Great White Father' by Oliver Williams Controversial Currents On Education In North Carolina A student enrolled in ar class on s cendary education of which I am also a member, discussed the quality o! the East Carolinian with the in- ? trr.ctor during class recently. He seemed to feel that it wasn't up to par. Whether he expected it or not, I mr.de no comments. Just a short time oilier, this same boy admitted to the n-tractor and class that the use of eommas with dependent and inde- pendent clauses still confused him. If you are interested in the pro- gressive movement of education in North Carolina, now is the time to show it. Before the Rules Commit- tee is the famous Kelly Bill?HR 7535 which calls for federal assist- ance to the states and local commun- ities in financing an expanded program of school construction so as to elim- inate the national shortage of class- roons. This bill was introduced by Repp's ntative Augustine B. Kelly, Democrat of Pennsylvania. What will HK 7535 do? The Kelly bill provides three ave- nues by which federal assistance can be extended for construction of school buil iir.gs: (1) The bill authorizes grants- in-aid totalling $1.6 billion at the rate of $400 million per year for four years. (2) The bill authorizes creation $750 million revolving fund for Easttarolinian Published by the Students of East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina Name changed from TECO ECHO November 7, 1952 Entered as second-class matter December 3, 1925 at the U.

THE LITERARY STYLE of any a-wspaper, (I think, can be determined ? st by those articles found on thejtt(ieral purchase of beds of school e(j; districts unable to sell their bonds at reasonable rates. (3) The bill authorizes the fed- eral government to make advances to reserve funds of state school fin- ancing agencies which in turn con- struct school buildings to be rented to local school districts. The $400,000,000 would be allo- cated to the states and territories in (proportion to school age (15-17) population and matched by state and or local funds. This results in allocation to the states of $11.30 in federal funds per child per year.

ALCOCK'S comments stirred th emotions of certain students to uch an extent that a petition was drawn and circulated, asking that the students be permitted to elect eir own editors. The East Carolin- an has received reports that two iudents backed the movement. N'tw pledges of a campus frater- nity were asked to help with the circulation of the petition. One of the petitioners was overheard comment- ing that the petition favored the ?ection of the editors by student vote so that a final selection wouldn't be left to the discretion of one man. It is unfortunate that such a 'false ru- mor was spread among the students. by Bobby Hall Administration Administration of the bill would be carried out by the state educa- tion agency within each state and Would be based uipon state plans taking into consideration (a) the financial resources of local school districts, and (b) efforts to provide the need as indicated by overcrowding or use of obsolete facilities. To point out the critical need of classrooms needed throughout llie nation the United States Office of Education estimated at the begin- ning of 1954 there was a classroom deficit of more than 300,000 and tVat if no additional rooms were built, this deficit would increase at the rate of 50,009 classrooms annually because of increased enrollmnts and 8,000 classrooms a year because of obsolescence. However, they est- imated that 50,000 classrooms were built in 1952-53, 55,000 in 1953-54, and during the year of 1955, 60,000 were built. As a result of this def- icit, million. of childrn are attend- ing schools which are unsafe or which permit learning on part time or under condition of serious over- crowding. Who opposes federal aid? The real stumbling blocks to any school aid bill come from two tot- ally different sources that have little if anything in common: (1) the peo- ple who insist on an anti-segregation amendment as a prerequisite to Fed- eral help for the public schools, as is seen by the Powell amendment and (2) the people who are opposed to all Federal help for public schools, basing their opposition on states' rights or similarly restrictive grounds. Some of these people think that if the federal government helps with the education of youth that it is a form of socialism. -Tf this is true, what do they call "parity" to the farmer, the buying of silver under the Sherman Act, and subsidizing business? Surely educat- ion of youth is as important as these. Did not the government step into the educational field during the de- pression years? If you should look around on this campus you would probably find a building with the P.W.A. stamp on it. Will it take ar other depression to get the appro- val of this group of people to consent to federal aid for our school? Let's hope not How you can help Now you ask, how can I help with such an important bill as this? The answer is simple, by writing to your Congressman emphasizing these points, 1. The need for schools in your locality or the Congressman's district. 2. The need to get the Kelly bill to the floor so Congress can pass the kind of school construction bill it wants. President Eisenhower has expressed concern over the school construction bill uncomplicated by amendments that will serve only to block any hope of action, Members of Congress ought to take the President's advice, "vote in the interest of all American school children?against the Powell amend- ment, and for the bill No doubt, most of you have heard i pression "Great White Father" which is. spread- ing around the campas. It seems that the expres- sion originated and was applied to President Messick, when he would not agree to allow claw time for SGA election campaign speech Perhaps the expression began in a satirical manner; however, a meaning quite different from this was acquired by many students who heard President Messick speak to the SGA last week President Messick, speaking to the SGA the method of electing newspaper editor ex- plained that the administration and faculty are here because the students are here?that is, their primary function is to serve us. He also expressed the desire that students discuss an issue with him before circulating petitions. AFTER THAT MEETING, I'M SURE that some of the expressions made during the past weeks about the "control of the newspaper" seem very unaagacious. So often we thii just because there is a lot of SMOKE I public opinion, that there is a central FIRE n- ing. Too often this is not true! The movement to change the decti newspaper editor is not without reasonii ever. Although I do not agree that the i is "out of the students' hands 1 believe that a general election of the editors would give the students a feeling of more concrete rel iti ;th the newspaper (maybe then it would be referred to as "our" newspaper) and would prol cre- ate participation on the newspaper stai I larger number of students. If the editorship were open to a general election, anyone should have the opporl inity to apply. In order that an undesirable pera not get the editorship, the qualifications of the appli- cants might be reviewed by an Advisor Board on Publications. The qualifications should be lib- eral, including possibly some journalistic ence, and a person that is average in scholarship, and conduct. Some of the proposed changes that have been discussed, however, hardly necessitate a change in the present system. BEING A STRONG SEGREGATIONIST. I'm continually asked this question, "What do you think Russia and the rest of the world think about Southern segregation?" I usually a. this question by asking my inquirers this: "Which is more important?what we think of each other in America or what the rest world thinks of us?" The world as a whole probably thinks little of us for this custom. Yet, can we afford t rifice internal harmony in order to appea- cigners? Some theoriests and "reformers" think so! Wouldn't an internal division over tion lessen our prestige and strength in th of the world more than our social habits Pot Pourri Dead Men Can't Pump Hands by Purvis Boyette Concerning Columbia Press Meet Featurists Write Folks About New York Trip I Prom Tfc? moving finger writes, and, having writ, Moves o?; nor all your piety nor wit, Shall lore it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash ovt a word of it the "BobaynH of Omar by X.

Dear Folks, It was w t, cold, and raining when we finally left Tuesday, March 13, on that long- awaked journey for New York, tha Wcuier City, to attend the "olembia Scholastic Press Conven- tion. "Cheery?Please" Well, folks, it rained all of the way, but we were so determined to get there that we didn't let that stop us! Just en this side of Baltimore, we decide to stop at a "drive-in" restaur: s t for a snack. When we all gave the waitress our orders, I or- dered c coke and some Nabs. The waitress locked at us a little strange- ly and id, "What?" Again, I and everyone else proceeded to tell her what I wanted. By this time she was fing a little frustrated and said, "I'm sorry, but we on't have any However, someone at the counter stejpped in and explained to her ex- actly what I wanted. She came back saying, "Why didn't you say that you wanted some cheese-crackers Wednesday morning about 8:00 we were "flying" through Lincoln Tun- nel and entering New York City. After leaving the tunnel, we passed the spectacular UN Building, located on the East River. "Anybody Seen Picadilly?" A few minutes later, we entered the main part of New York City. As we were driving down the congested to Btay. Alfter registering at the hotel, we went to our rooms and almost immediately were visited by the Buccaneer delegates (Jo Ann De- Bruhl, Shirley Morton Smith, Ike Williamson, Dwight Smith), who had been in New York since Sunday! We all agreed to get a little sleep before "exploring" Broadway and Times Square. At noon, Martha and I ventured to the Picadilly Lounge for a bite to eat. We ordered waffles and coffee? everyone turned to star when they heard us talk. (?IncidentaUy, our com- munications with the waitress were rather short?she was Swedish!) In the afternoon, it was still rain- ing, but we sda"hed through the downpour?and were lucky. We se- cured tickets to the Broadway play ?A Hatful of Rain starring Shelley Winters, for that night at the Ly- ceum Theater! "Look Out, Little Man" While we were strolling down Broadway gazing into the shop win- dows, a little dried-up man suddenly ran head-long into Oliver. As Oliver stood dumbfounded, the man shook his fist and shouted, "I'm going to rap you in the face if you don't get out of my way Mumbling and cursing to himself, the little man plunged into the crowd and disap- peared; the rest of us stood by gap- streets, we "just happened to see ing. the Picadilly Hotel, where we were) During S?e rest of our afternoon's wanderings, frequently we were ask- ed by the salespeople in the stores if we were "just kidding around or were really going to buy something When we went to Macy's, that fabu- lous store where one can buy any thing from a lowly can of soup to the most exquisite furs, we had a "field day"?roaming around, getting lost, and finding just scores of things that we wanted to buy. For supper that night we decided it would be fun to try the Automat. W at a surprise! In the tremendous rush people seemed to be pushing and trampling each other all over the place. Several arms were shoved across our food in the commotion. Although we survived, we concluded thig "for- eign" territory was a far cry from odr hospitable South. Shelley Nightfall found us on our way to the Lyceum Theater.

Their blunder of blunders was awarding Ernest Borg- nine an "Oscar" for best actor of the year. This seemed to me to be nothing less than ignorance personified. And the horror of it all was that the greatest master of dramotic art in our gen- eration was completely overlooked . . . forgotten. James Dean did not even receive a special award. As was stated in this column previously. Dean was thought to be a sure winner as best actor of the year?the first actor ever to win an "Oscar" posthumously. As he didn't, many thought that the Academy would, as an alternative, give him a special award carrying with it individual: connotations. Such was not the case. Obviously. Hollywood has forgotten James Dean . . . even his memory! The Academy is composed of approximately 1200 members. All members are workers in the movie colony?actors, prop men, costuming per- sonnel, etc. When voting time comes, one can readily see that it would approach the category of a political election?nominees pumping hands like crazy.

Visitors will be given an op- portunity to visit the ROTC unit and talk with the instructors about the ROTC prog am at East Carolina. The two main purposes of the AFROTC are to provide the student with an opportunity to train as an air age citizen of tomorrow and to ?tlect young men for a career in the Reserve of the USAF. For those students enrolled in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Coirs, courses are offered for which college credit is given. Subjects stud- ied are: Introduction to Aviation, a brief history; Fundamentals of Glob- al Geography; Air Power, the story oi resources, aviation industry, com- mercial and private aviation, and military aviation; and Loa!deihrp Laboratory, in which throughout all Conr years of AFROTC the students ar? given an opportunity to learn row to command groups of men. Uniforms aiv- issued at no cost or deposit and all Air Science textbooks are issue free. The student is eligi- ble to be deferred from the draft during his college career. Extracurricular activities include two clubs, the Flying Rebels and the The East Carolina Playhouse will i esent two one-act plays, "Moony's Kid Don't Cry" by Tennessee Wil- liams and "He" by Eugene O'Neill, tonight at 8 p.m. in Music Hall.

Kenyon is not?d as an outstanding small college power. The Pirates will be one of the teams that the visitors are playing on their Spring trip to the South- land. Among the others that Kenyor will me.l are Georgia Tech, Michi- eran State, Davidson, North Carolina State, and Washington & Lee Uni- versity. Maurice Everett, the No. 1 man for flse Pirates, will lead the way for the Purple and Gold against the strong invaders. Only a sophomore, the Robersonville boy is considered by many to be an outstanding threat for the North State singles title. Other veterans for East Carolina are Gil Underwood, Gene Lilley, and A) Webb. A large turnout of unseasoned players are seeking playing positions for Coach Ray Martinez' starting six. Bad weather has hampered the Pirate practice sessions for the last two weeks. This factor may be a telling blow in the Pirates' initial match. Besides tr.e scheduled matches, a few exhibition matches will be played ay. If the weather is fair, attend- ance for the match should be stimu- lated. The completion of two addi- tional courts will allow the teams a chance to begin all singles matches at the same time. This year's schedule is not com- plete 1 at this date, but it promises to be one of exceptional quality. On the home courts, many of the out- standing powers of the area are to appear against the Pirate netters. Jim Henderson Go-Captains Jim Henderson and Eddie Hurst have recently been elected as Co- Captains of the 1956 Pirate track squad. Henderson is a junior and top man for the Pirates in the sprint department. He led the squad in time events last year. Hurst, a senior, hurls the javelin and is also the top pole vaulter on the Buc cinder team. He is a native of Greensboro and is ma- joring in Physical Education. Dr. J. O. Miller, coach of the team, said that he was well pleased with the selection of these two men as Co-Captains.

Cify StOffeat The Injured Bird by William Arnold 1 wm walking in the rain one day When I saw an injured bird. I could hear its weeping noises; Twas an infant's cry I heard, For its Ma had left it dying Tr a rain-filled ditch of weeds, Xot attending to its broken wing Or its other urgent needs. Its iny mouth was open And its lack of food was plain, So I placed it gently 'neath my coat To protect it from the rain. Once inside my shabby dwelling, I prepared a blazing heat. I began to search for food to cook But found none there to eat. My ac'ring heart grew tender At the creature's hungry cries, At the broken, bleeding feathers Ard the bogging, trusting eyes. Oh, if only there were something? Just a crumb of barley left! But, a!a.s, ithere wasn't anything; Seemed we both would starve to death. Then at last my hopes grew happy, For I struck upon a hunch!

A spine injury kept him out of the lineup quite extensively last fall. A broken field runner, he pos- sesses the speed to break away f-om opposing p;layer3 and is heralded as one of the fastest backs in the entire state. Co-Captain of Team "t'njun" Jim's agile conduct and cooperation was given excellent rec- ognition Mcitiay night when f ;W team members of the track squad ? lected him as a co-captain of the 1956 Pirate squad. His track records speak for them- selves, for in last year's North State Championship Meet in High Point, the dimirutive junior took four first place events for a total of 20 points. He broke the high hurdles time with 14.9. the low hurdles mark with 24.2) and tied the 100 yard dash time with 9.9. This is quite a feat, for in par- being the outstanding performer in the High Point meet. Many of his friends wonder why the nickname of "Lnjur has stuck to him. It can be attr&ated to the tact that Jim is one-third Cherokee Indian. When graduation time arrive for the speedy Virginian, he anticipate- ticipating in these events one right after the other, a total of 1,320 yards is covered. For accomplishing all this, Henderson was awarded a trophy foil a job coaching and teaching. He has ororked with the younger generation or three years during the summer months at the Portsmouth Recreation Bureau in his native city. Tr.is job has greatly influenced him in making a decision to coach after graduating.

D. Messick visited with the Student Government Asso- ciation at its weekly meeting March 21. Donald Umstead, president of the SGA, presented the question of a new system of choosing the editors of the news publication to Dr. Messick. Dr. Messick spoke to the group and dis- cussed the question at hand. He stated that it was too late to change the method of choosing the editors this year since the 1955-56 handbook is in existence and since he and his board would not meet until May 19. However, Dr. Messick said that if actions were carried out I rough the proper procedure a new system could be acted upon for the coming school year. A new system by which the edi- tors could be elected suggested by Dr. Messick is as follows: 1. Set up rules and regulations to make up a circumference in which the student would have to fit. 2. The Board of Publications would make nominations from those eli- gible. 3. Election of editors by student bo iy. It was stressed that if any student had a complaint, that he bring it to the administration at any :ime. Upon a suggestion by Dr. Messick, Bonnie Rose moved that a committee tx s pointed to work with the Pub- lications Board to make some definite suggestion by which fhe editor of e publications be elected. This plan ? Bid be presented to Dr. Messick . I oard to decide upon in May. This motion was seconded and pass- ed; Donald Umstead. Allen Alcock, Dock Smith, and Jan Rahy were ap- pointed to make u:p the committee. Appropriation For Production Other business brought up at the meeting included a motion by Billy 1 Sharber to appropriate $300 for the presentation of a Shakespearean play at the amphitheatre which will be completed in the near future This presentation would be a grand open- ing for the Flanagan Memorial Am- phitheatre. This motion was seconded and passed. Billy Sharber also moved that $100 be appropriated to pur- chase voting booths such as those used on election .hay for SGA offi- cers; this motion was accepted. O'Brian Edwards made announce- ments concerning three .proposed changes in the constitution of the SGA. First, Article 7, Section 9: that the first Thursday in April be the official election day for SGA instead of the third Thursday in March. Second, Article 8, Section 5, Item 1: That the amount of the salaries paid to the editors and business manager of the student publications, the pres- Please Note The .senior class will sponsor ?Senior Follies of '56' on April 18 and 19 in order to raise money to provide a free banquet and dance for all seniors, according to Garland Tuton, senior class presidents In order to sell tickets for this event, each senior will be sent four tickets to sell. All money raised will be used for the May 18 banquet and dance. The ban- quet will be closed to seniors only, but the dance will be op- ened to anybody a senior wishes to bring.
