Their Decision On Social Fraternities
The Board of Trustees, in a reg-
ular meeting here on campus last
week, was asked by President Mes-
sick to reconsider it decision on
social fraternities. President Messick,
while reopening the question, made
no recommendations for or against
the establishment of such fraternities
and sororities, but brought to the
boards attention its decision made
$1,145,000 to be used for the con-
struction af a dormitory for men stu-
dents.
The loan fs to be repaid over a
period of forty years. Paymenta will
fee met from room rent received from
students living in college dormitoriea.
To Be On South Campus
The new dormitory will be built on
the South Campus, according to plans.
It will be made up of two units sep-
arated by a wall and composing in
effect two dormitories. Facilities will
include a ca'eteria for use by stu-
dents living in these units. Plans
are now being drawn by Eric G.
Flanagan of Henderson, N. C, archi-
tect
of the Music Department, Mrs. Ed- in 1954 which was in opposition to
gar Hirshberg, and Mrs. Agnes Bar
rttt, secretary to Dr. Messick.
Others
Dr. Frank Hoskins has the role of
Ross, Lloyd Bray, Jr. the role of
Banquo, and Mr. James Simpson of
the Music Department has the role
of Macduff. Mrs. James E. Poindexter
is cast as Lady Macduff, Jim Corum
a? the Scotch Doctor, and David
Evans as the Sergeant. Delano Driver
will play the young Stward, Tommy
Hull, and Pat Simonds the Gentle-
woman. The previous three are active
members of the Playhouse. The La-
dies of the Scotch Court are played
by Marian Evans, Margaret Gedhi,
Sue Flannagan, Gale Simpson, and
Mrs. Susie Webb, who is a member
of the faculty. Mr. Charles Laughter,
assistant librarian, will be cast as
the "English Doctor. Also in the cast
of Macbeth are two well-known
athletes. Lou Hallow will play the part
of the First Murderer and Don Har-
ris will have the part of the Second
Murderer.
fraternity houses and social frater
nities.
Referred to Administration and
Faculty
After considering the idea at length,
the Board referred the situation to
the Administration and faculty for
their consideration and recommen-
dations concerning it. The Board also
requested that student opinion be
considered.
Will Be Discussed in May
Fresident Messick stated that
the question would be brought up
at the next faculty meeting which
will probably be held sometime in
May, and would not make a state-
ment as to his position at this time
because he "wouldn't want his think-
ing to influence either faculty or
student opinion
At the same meeting, the Board
authorized President Messick to ex-
ecute a loan agreement with the Fed-
eral Housing and Home Finance
Agency whereby the college will bor-

Two Acts, Six Scenes
"Oklahoma consists of two acts
and six scenes. The Broadway ver-
sion is being used instead of the
niovio interpretation. One scene is a
complete ballet and is done under
the supervision of Mary Dunn Beatty,
dsneo director from Greenville. The
dancing chorus is Jesse Boyd, Lee
Giles, Rachel Lang, Peggy Petttt, Joe
Ponl, and Shirley Morton Smith.
"Oklahoma takes place during
the days when Oklahoma was still a
territory. The production centers on
the love aiffair of Curley and Laurey.
Although Laurey is in lovs with Cur-
ley, she believes him a little bit too
sure of himself and of her affec-
tions. This leads to Laurey's en-
couragement toward the affections of
Jud Fry, a farm hand of questionable
reputation.
Comedy
Comedy in the production is fur-
nished primarily by Will Parker, who
has just "sewed his oats in Kansas
City and Ado Annie Carnes. Ado
Annie has the reputation of accep-
ting most men's s .nces with "I

Production winds up in a grand fi-
nal, which contains moments of sua-
pense and near tragedy before tho
intended lovers are united.
The moral of "Oklahoma is sum-
med up in the following lines of Aunt
Eller. "Oh, lots of things happens
to folks. Sickness, er being pore and
hungry even-being old and afeared
to die. That's the way it is?cradle to

A Forgotten Challenge
In the September 23 issue of this paper an
editorial was written regarding Donald Umstead,
past president of the Student Government Asso-
ciation.
We stated, "The East Carolinian does not
question the perseverance of Donald Umstead.
We believe that he will work faithfully and prov
himself a stanch doer in working towards a big-
ger and better East Carolina
The points listed in Umstead's platform
wnich he released to the East Carolinian last
year included:
1. Appointment of a committee to work with
the campus police in solving traffic problems.
2. Extending concessions to the girls' dormi-
tories.
3. A publicity program for the school besides
athletics.
4. Activation of the Men's Judiciary.
5. More weekend activities for students.
6. Publication of a periodical financial
statement showing cost and appropriations.
The committee which worked towards the
installation of a traffic signal at the Beckwith
Gate-Administration Building entrance was the
most constructive step taken towards creating
safer conditions in regard to traffic problems.
Finally, during the latter part of last quar-
ter, a bill favoring the appointment of a com-
mittee to study the problem was introduced. It
was approved by the legislature, a committee
was appointed, but the group never reported their
findings.
Anne George, a former student here and
member of the East Carolinian staff, launched
a drive in her column last year asking that drink
machines be placed in the girls' dormitories. The
administration approved the move, and these ma-
chines constitute the girls' only concessions.
We have carried fifteen stories concerning
meetings of the SGA which were written by the
legislature's own reporter. No story makes any
mention of concessions for the girls, a publicity
program, activation of the Men's Judiciary, week-
end activities, or publication of a periodical fi-
nancial statement. In other words, none of the
points have been brought before the legislature
this year.
The SGA has filled several vacancies on this
year's judiciary due to graduation?the only
activation done concerning the Men's Judiciary.
Umstead gave his farewell address last week,
thanked those students who served on various
committees, and pointed out that recent consitu-
tional changes represent a challenge for the new
legislature.
The platform which won for him the presi-
dency of the Student Government Association
w-as a great challenge also but it remains un-
touched.
Students Never Change
"It is trite to say that cooperation is one
of the most necessary things in life, yet few
things can be done without it.
"Most of us are rather good at promising
to do things by a certain time, but those stu-
dents who fulfill their promises promptly and
pleasantly certainly are too few. 'Gosh, I forgot
all about it is the too usual reply when a ne-
glectful person is confronted with a reminder
that he has failed to do his task.
"That person may have forgotten his as-
sumed duty or he may have had no real intent-
ion of performing it in the first place. Tliere
are some students who apparently want to be
in the limelight so they can be regularly pub-
licized when work is being planned, but some-
times it is these who squirm and ease out of
it when the actual duty calls for them. These
idle promises are easy service, but it takes a
real personality to fulfill duties.
"On this campus every week, every day there
are opportunities for students to be of service
to clubs and responsible persons. There is stu-
dent government work to be handled, publicat-
ions to go to press, plays to be produced, dances
to be decorated for and dozens of little but
important jobs to be done.
"It is not just the responsibility of officers
in charge to do the job. It is every student's
task to see that the activities of ECC are done
and done as best they can be done. It is un-
fortunate that even with the point system the
work on the campus continues to be done by
the same small group of energetic individuals.
"Are you a slacker? Are you one of those
students who never have time to do this or that
because you have to loaf or go to a movie or
do something else equally unimportant? It is
said, 'If you want a job well done, ask a busy
person to do it, for the ones who are not busy
never have time
"If you are one of these persons who is
guilty of not doing anything helpful on the
campus, start today to atone for your past.
Cooperate to the fullest extent with all that
will go to make your alma mater an institution
of which you will be proud
The above was printed in this newspaper
a few years ago, but we believe it still applies.
Time goes on, but people do not seem to change.
Controversial Currents
Benson's Face Had
To Be Saved. ?.
Ike's In Turmoil
by Bobby Hall
.At the time of the writing of this
article President Eisenhower is in a
state of turmoil. He is torn between
three issues:
(1) Saving the face of Secretary of
Agriculture, Ezra T. Benson by
vetoing the recently passed farm bill.
(2) Giving the farmetrs relief,
which they desperately need, by
signing the bill into law.
(3) Vetoing the bill and
calling a special session of Congress
to try and work out a new bill in
order to give the farmer relief dur-
ing the current year.
PODTliCALLY SPEAKING Pres-
ident Esienhower has already lost.
After becoming President he got
through congress a bill which pro-
vided for sliding supports of 82 to
90 per cent of parity. The bill just
passed by congress returns the farm-
er to rigid price supports of 90 per
cent of parity, on basic crops of
wheat, cotton corn, peanut's anjd
domestically-consumed rice for this
year. Parity prices are established
by formulas considered fair to the
farmer in relation to the cost of
things he has to buy. If Ike vetoes
the bill he will lose the farm vote
bv tarving them to death. If he signs
Hhe bill, the Democrats ar not g31Bg
to let the farmf-r forget who initiated
.ho bill.
SECRETARY BENSON has classi-
fied the legislation as a "bad bill
It seems to me Benson should wel-
come some help as his present pro-
gram has let the farmer slide into
a depression all of his own.
About the only reason the Pres-
ident could have for signing the bill
besides giving the farmers relief is
t ht the bill contains his 1.2 billion
dollar voluntary soil bank program.
Ike said he would not demand per-
il ction if he could get a "good bill"
for the farmer. Just what a "good
bill is considered to be by the Pre-
sident without sliding price supports
no one knows. The farm aid bill is
d. .signed to increase the election-
year income of farmers approximately
two billion dollars.
Senator Estes Kefauver declared
in a speech that was delivered by
former U. S. Attorney Genera! J.
Howard McGrath in Farmville last
week that the President himself is
"the real reason for the failure" of
the nations agricultural problems.
The senator stated the president had
i. legated his authority to subordi-
nates "as if they were generals ser-
ving under him For that reason the
mistakes of Secretary Benson were
t e mistakes of the Prt-sident as he
accepted the Secretary's theories.
KEFAUVER DECLARED that the
"sliding support theory" has had re-
sults just the opposite of what had
been promised in 1952. He said the
average farmer needs price supports
beof at least 90 per cent of parity and
that the support level should be
higher for low-income farmers and
lower for those with higher incomes.
? Regardless of whether the Presi-
dent signs the bill or not, you can
bet it will be an explosive campaign
issue in the coming election as the
Dixon-Yates contract will be.

Who's Who Among Students At East Carolina College
Varied Activities Keep Student Busy
by Barbara Cole
Aa a young girl, Laura Credle from
New Holland dreamed of being a
writer, an actress, or a journalist?
never a teacher. Teaching to me
was synonymous with dowdy clothes
and chalk dust she said.
However, as years passed, her sis-
ter Jane decided to come to East
Carolina, and since it was close to
home, Laura also entered, reluctant-
ly. "My mother, of course, was
secretly sure that I would decide to
be a teacher she said.
Active In Playhouse
Time and a changed atmosphere
plus some actual work experience
changed Laura's notions of what she
would be. As a member of the Teach-
er's Playhouse, her first minor parts
led her to larger and more important
one. She laughingly remembers her
role in "Robinhood" in which she
acted as a page. "Friends came all
the way from Winterville just to see
me walk across the stage Laura
explained. One of her biggest thrills
came when she played the miller's
daughter in "Rumplestiltskin
Through amateur dramatics, she
learned, however, that this was not
the profession she desired.
During her senior year, Laura laid
aside all previous dreams and decided
Laura Credle
she would be a teacher. Talking with
friends who were practice teachers,
with faculty members, and with actual
teachers in the field convinced her
that teaching was the profession for
her.
As a child, reading was her chief
joy, and this later developed into
Laura's decision to major in English.
She chose French as her minor.
Named To "Who's Who"
Being a reporter on the "East
Carolinian" for one year, serving as
college marshal during her junior
y ar. and being secretary of Fleming
Hall this year are among the activi-
ties which have kept Laura busy.
A great honor also came to her this
year when she was chosen for "Who's
Who in American Colleges and Uni-
versities
Laura, who is a Dean's List stu-
Unt, believes more emphasis should
be placed on scholarship at East
Carolina. "We could all learn more
she said.
"I think we need to have an honor
system at East Carolina she com-
mented, "but we must make it work
Laura's favorite pastimes include
dar.ci.ig, playing tennis, reading,
and just browsing around in the li-
brary.
Wli n asked what was the most
exciting thing to ever happen to
her, Laura happily replied, "My
forthcoming marriage
The big date is set for June 23.
"I'm so excited, I can't even study
she stated.
Laura will do her practice teach-
ing next fall quarter, and then she
hopes to teach somewhere near Rocky
Mount.

In reference to last weeks column,
IF NTOT ADLAI, WHO? we see that
Adlai got his presidential candidacy
back off the ground. Yet, the Illi-
nois primary did not give him first
place as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic Party's nominee as president.
Tho important test lies in the Flori-
da Primary of May 29th and the
California Primary, June 5th.
Both Stevenson and Kefauver are
doing extensive campaigning in Flori-
da. To try and show all is well be-
tween them to the public, they took
time d to pin their campaign but-
tons on each other last week, when
their paths crossed in Florida.

Spring Brings Varied Activities To Campus
by Janet Hill and Martha Wilson
Let's have a house party at the
beach! Thoughts wander to the near-
by surf and .sands of Atlantic Beach
at Morehcail or Carolina and Wrights-
ville Beaches near Wilmington. For
just a day's jaunt Whichard's Beach
near Washington and Hawkin's Beach
near Bath, both on the Pamlico River
seem to be favorite habitats of
ECC'rs.
On tre local scene the sun courts
at the female dormitories have been
mobbed as of late. These grassy
little arenas have a pleasant air a-
bout them, with their blossomed trees,
frajrrant flowers, and palisade of
hedgerow or whitened ience. Here
can be spent a few hours basking
in the sun or leisurely studying.
Yes, the students are beginning
to migrate once again to the foot-
loose, fancy-free world of the open
spaces. Hand in hand they stroll
along familiar paths, paths now mod-

Readers' Comment
Student Writes About The Alcock Letter
To the editor:
Taking everything into account, I
think our school paper is pretty good,
however, I think that criticism should
be welcomed and the one who criti-
cizes should not be called a glory
unter. tin my opinion you should
simply print letters of criticism and
answer them, if at all, in an adult
fashion. The childish remarks in-
? rted into the letter written by Alan
Alcock, served only to show that the
?ditor was unwilling to be criticized,
and that the editor chose a most
childish way to let everybody know it.
Any "old boy with or without
a stick, who is properly enrolled in
East Carolina College, deserves to be
taken seriously. Nothing is so good
that it cannot be bettered. Each sug-
gestion or criticism should be weighed
in the baMance, and if found lacking
should be discarded.
In my opinion, your editorials should
concern only matters pertaining to
the college. Maybe some state politics,
but national politics should be left
out of. our paper. Most students will
not read national politics in the big
dailies, so we shouldn't waste space
writing about them in the school
paper.
Now I wish to make a suggestion,
f think that interest in the paper
could be increased by having students
pay a small fee, about fifty cents,
per quarter for the ?paper. This money
could be used to pay people to deliver
it to the subscriber's dorm rooms or
to mail it to people who live oil
campus. The people who refused to
take a subscription could obtain a
copy by going to the newspaper of-
fice. The alumni should have a chance
to subscribe for the paper, at a high-
er rate, of course. The people who
subscribed would value their copy
more, and the money spent to have
the several copies which are not read
printed could be saved.
More constructive editorials, such as
campaigning for a dry cleaning plant
and other wortihtwhile additions to
the campus would be well received by,
I believe, most of the student body.
Thank you,
Evan Taylor
(Editor's Note: Mr. Alcock stated,
in his letter to the editor in last
week's paper, "Neither do I have a
monopoly on complaints about this

they stop to dance awhile on the
terrace of the student union, where
the mellow strains of dreamy music
float out across the atmosphere.
Lazy afternoons at the tennis
courts, at the shuffleboards, at the
miniature golf course?we welcome
them all. Down by the shady lanes
of the arboretum we watch several
leaving on a bicycle hike and still
others scouting for flowering vege-
tation for biological collections. The
season is full upon us.
What's Doing
Also, whenever that inevitable
question arises among dating cou-
ples, "What shall we do tonight?"
there will be many possible solutions.
First of all as we mentioned before,
there is always the weekly dancing
on the Student Union terrace. And,
during this season of thoughts and
flowers, there will be a number of
semiformal dances and the biggest
dance of them all?the formal
Junior-Senior Dance. Also, there
will be numerous campus attractions
such as the Senior Follies, "Okla-
homa" and senior music recitals. And
last but not least, there are the
campus Cinemascope movies which
are always entertaining on the week-
ends.

In The Literary Limelight
by Purvis Boyette
When setting type for a printed new -
oftentimes adjustments must be made in a writ-
er's column. Such has been the ease witl
column in the last two editions of the F.
linian. It seems that on both these occasion-
article required more space than was the pa
allotment. The editor in charge had no alterna-
tive but to "cut" the article down to proper
portions. As a result, these past two columns 1
appeared "choppy" and in some incident- ?
meaningless, the end purpose defeated . . . my
apologies.
Remember The Yearling? It has proved t
one of the most moving pictures ever to com
out of Hollywood. I have waited anxiously

The story revolves around the always good tin
of a boy, his dog, and an old man. A talented
youngster, Brandon de Wilde, portrays the bo)
and Walter Brennan, the old man.

Hill?a writer's haven. James Street was one of
the most prolific writers of his generation, having
a long list of best sellers to his credit. His death
was untimely and many felt it an unfortunate
loss of literary talent.
"A strange melancholy pervades me to which
I hesitate to give the grave and beautiful name
of sorrow. The idea of sorrow has always ap-
pealed to me, but now I am almost ashamed ol
its complete egoism. I have known boredom, re

The above paragraph came from the pen of
an 18-year-old French girl?Francoise Sagan. To
those who have a disposition toward writing, her
book, Bonjour Tristesse, affords definite encour-
agement and a more objective outlook toward
writing. The book for many months was Ameri-
ca's number one best seller. Though excellent in
itself, it is even more remarkable because of the
author's youthfulness. It is printed evidence that
for the talented, aspiring young artist, a pub-
lishable book is entirely possible and the public,
all too eager to read.

Coach J. 0. Miller's East Carolina
Tracksters unleashed their most pow-
erful attack of the season, Saturday,
as they completely crushed Atlantic
Christian's Bulldogs, 115-15, ta-
king every first place in the meet,
with the exception of one.
"Injun Jim Henderson, a sopho-
more from Portsmouth, Va ran wild
to collect four first places, gaining
a total of 20 Va points, to top all
Pirate performers. Charlie) Bishop
followed in the point department
with 10Vi markers. Every man on the
Pirate squad, except one, scored.
Henderson's Points
Hmderson racked up firsts in the
220 low hurdles, the 120 high hurdles,
the 100 and 220 yard dashes. In the
high hurdles, BCC made a clean sweep
of the run, with Bob Maynard and
Jim Meades taking second and third
slots. The 100 yard sprint was also
an East Carolina sweep; Bobby Perry
and Maynard took second and third.
Other complete wins for the Bucs
wore the shot put, the discus, the
880 dash, and the mile relay. Lynn
Barnett, Bobby Gay and Tommy
Waggoner captured all places in the
shot; Dave Granitz, Tommy olnwa
and Bobby Gay took the discuss po-
sitions; Bobby Patteson, Charlie
Bishop and Clifton Buck won all three
positions in the 880; Milers Patter-
son, Maynard, Bishop and Tommy
Scribner ran away with the Relay.
Pirate Teamwork
Cliff Buck copped the mile honors,
with a 4:59.4 time, and was followed
by EOC's Morse and ACC's Williams.
A first place tie by Holmes and
Meades gave East Carolina evjen
more points. Bucs. Bishop and Spoon
ran the 440 in top time to outscore
ail Bulldog comers.
Co-Captain Eddie Hurst took first
place honors in the pole vault with
a 10'3" jump, and Tommy Scribner
was the number one man in the broad
jump. East Carolina's Joe Dickerson
tied with ACC's Wheeler for second
and third places in the latter event.
Coach Miller was "very well pleas-
ed" with his boy's performances at
Wilson's Fleming Stadium.

summer session of 1956, Dr. Ed. J.
Carter of the college Bureau of Field
Services has announced.
The itinerary covering sixteen
states will include visits to Atlanta,
Ga Dallas and El Paso, Texas; Juar-
ez, Mexico; Los Angeles, Hollywood,
and San Francisco, Calif Salt Lake
City, Utah; St. Louis, Mo and other
cities along the route of approximately
8,000 miles.
Sightseeing tours will take the
college group to such places of in-
terest as the Vicksburg Civil War
battlefield, the Carlsbad Caverns, the
Grand Canyon, the Apache National
Forest,?an Francisco's Chinese settle-
ment, the Hoover Dam, Pike's .Peak,
and the Garden of the Gods.
Major benefits to students, Dr.
Carter explains, will come from visits
to cultural, historical, industrial, and
commercial centers.
The program will begin with an
orientation period at East Carolina
College. Four days, July 11-15, will
be devoted to re-trip conferences,
lectures, and discussions. The thirty-
Jay escorted tour through South-
eastern states to the Pacific Cast,
up th? Pacific Coast, and back by
way of the Midwest will close at
East Carolina College August 14.
Those who wish to enroll for the
tour are asked to make reservations
early as the number of students must
be limited. Inquiries ghould be ad-
dressed to Dr. Carter. The reserva-
tion foe of $25 should be sent to the
Business Office at East Carolina Col-
lege, Greenville, N. C.
The original comments in this pub-
lication, which motivated Mr. Ai-
cock to write his three-page reply,
explained that the remarks which he
niaie at the campaign speeches prior
to the SGA elections and at a later
meeting of the SGA, concerning the
newspaper's being in the hands of the
administration, were definitely false.
Yet, in his letter to the editor he
asks students to register their ap-
plause or complaint concerning the
controversy. ("Only your reactions to
thi3 controversy will decide the out-
come)
The note attached to the end of Mr.
Aleocks letter merely implied that
th remarks which brought About such
a controversy originally could be pro-
ven untrue, and that any other stu-
dent who felt otherwise would not be
taken seriously.
As for editorials concerning nation-
al politics, if college students aren't
interested in the national political
scene, it's time they became inter-
ated. This newspaper will continue
to comment on controversial topics?
rot nationally and internationally.)
Dear Editors:
Inadvertently a portion of my let-
ter, directed to Oliver Williams con-
cerning the segregation problem, was
deleted in the April 12, 1956 publica-
tion ?f the East Carolinian. Since
Chat portion contained my particular
riewa on the segregation problem, I
believe that they should hereby be
published.
Maintenance of Rtatus quo, as sug-
g. sttd by Oliver Williams, doe not
constitute a solution to the segrega-
tion problem, which for many var-
of attempting to evade compliance
with the Supr. me Court's decision
through legal and illegal means, we
should have a concerted effort to
develop means of solving this com-
plex problem.
At the next meeting of The Inter-
national Relations Club, April 24,
1956, in Flanagan Auditorium, 7:30
p. m Oliver Williams has consented
to debate the segregation problem
with this writer. As this problem is of
vital interest, I hereby extend an in
vitation to all students and faculty
memberB who ean be present at this
meeting.
Sincerely,
Gerald Adcock
