Trustees Decision
President Messick asked the Board
of Trustees last week to reconsider
their decision on such fraternities
and sororities made in 1954.
After considering the idea at
length, the Board referred the sit-
uation to the administration and fac-
ulty for their consideration and rec-
ommendations concerning it, and re-
quested that student opinion be con-
sidered.

United We Stand"
The installation of the newly-elected SGA
officers has been completed, and our campus,
leaders for next year have taken office. To them,
the student body should drink a toost and pledge
their wholehearted support and co-operation.
Their success tor the coming year hinges on these
two words. Small though these words may seem,
they are the keys to success in student govern-
ment. And this'is all that the new officers wish
the students tit give. It is a service that the stu-
dent body can render without much effort if they
will only try.
Foremost in the minds of the students should
be kept the thought that even if these leaders
aren't their winning candidates, yet they were
the choice of the student body. Whether or not
they carried your support in the recent elections.
it is your duty to your school to give these leaders
your support and a fair chance to prove that they
are capable in assuming their responsibilities.
Don't push them off on the wrong toot. Give
them an even break just as you would desire if
y Li were taking office n- the first time.
Only with support and cooperation can these
officers fulfill the- duties of their offices and do
the things that you have been wanting done.
They are the ones who lead the way; it is up to
us to back them up. "United we stand: divided
we fall
Once again we wish the new student govern-
? administration a prosperous and successful

Answer To Readers'
Comments
by Oli en Will "in
Government of the people, by the people and
the :? pie is a familiar statement to all col-
students. .The question is how many of us
rding to this statement.
In the past few weeks the most controversial
seems to be letter writing to the editor.
students have come up with the idea that
state and national politics have no place in the
ege paper. In last week's edition of the paper
ter was printed in which the writer stated:
?in my opinion, your editorials should concern
ters pertaining to the college. Maybe
? te politics, but national politics should
ft out of cur paper. Most students will not
read national politics in the big dailies, so we
shouldn't waste space writing about them in the
sch ol paper
If this student is correct in his statement.
the question tossing in my mind is who is inter-
ted in national and state politics As compli-
nment is today, surely colle.ee stu-
nts do n t think that the common man will and
able to control the government.
Andrew Jackson believed in government by
immon man. He thought that any common
man could run a g vernment office. This may
have been true at the time of Jackson but not
today. Try to imagine a common man reading
the 975 page tax bill passed since the Republicans
gained control of the government. It would be
like trying to count molecules of water in the
ocean. Roth would get the same results. If college
students have no interest in government, what is
rig to happen to our government?
ernment by the people is easily under
I. In order for the people to govern them-
- they have to know what they want. If a
in remains ignorant on public issues, is he
of taking part in government?
Most all people like government for the peo-
This seems to indicate that they are going
? something free. You only get what you
. for! The great mass of services offered by
government today are not free; they cost money
and this money comes from the American people.
E to support this can be found prior to
April 15th of each year which is the deadline
f r filing personal income tax forms.
I assume the student who said that most
students do not read national politics has talked
to over 1500 students and they have confirmed
his ent as there are over 3000 students
enrolled in school. He would have had to talk
to this many in order to use the term "most
In order for us to practice the by and for of
government we will have to become interested
enough in government affairs to select the best
qualified candidates for public office. Electing
candidates to office is the one control the people
have over g vernment. If college students are
not interested enough in state and nafional poli-
tics to select the best candidates then it seems
logical that the people not attending college will
be either.
However, if you have been told you are a
Republican or a Democrat and you are to vote
this way the rest of your life, "excuse me

This interest and enthusiasm is

Concerning amusements, Spanish

Spanish students can only dream
about. Yet. they seem to enjoy life
fully as much, or even more, than
Americans do, perhaps because of the

Stop That Noise!
To the Editor:
During the past six months or
mi re Austin Building has been filled
to the rafters with the banging of
ammers, the thump-thump of equip-
ment, ht'infr dragged, and the growling
of rower tools tearing into the tired,
old j laster of the walls. This noisy
.(fusion is slowly replacing the old
lighting system of the building; it
is also driving students and profes-
sors nearly insane. Ever tried to

cerning the lesson, and answer quest-

be found to end this class interrupt-

that one of the moat enjoyable ways
to relax that has been found is to the

What do you think about sponsor-

club intereste 1 might offer rewards
or prizes for the best contributions.
Such a contest would benefit East
Carolina College in that a title of
letter taste would be adopted. The
recreation area in Umstead Dormi-
tory has been labeled the Pirate's
Den, while the College Union has
been tagged the "slop shop" or "Y

Jan lay back against the pillow,

too, was a very handsome boy with
his blavk hair and brown eyes. He
was very smooth, too. Not at all

the most exclusive restaurant in the

It catered to the tourists. It had a
big dance floor, always a good band,
and a bar in a room adjoining the
main one. She had had a wonderful
time and glowed under the admiring
glances of MePs friends. She was a
rather striking girl with her lovely
auburn h .ir and deep suntan, dressed
in a pale green chiffon creation which
began low on her shoulders, fitted
snugly at the waist, and -gracefully
?flowed into a full multi-layered skirt.
Her high-heeled sandals were of the
same color.
Mel had been especially attentive
all evening. Finally, they danced over
to one of the big window doors open-
ing onto a terrace which overlooked
the sea. Once outside, Mel put his
arm around Jan's waist. "We're won-

Woodcock Voices Appreciation
Dear Editor:
The creative writing contest which is featured in your pres-
ent issue has taken some doing. This is not the first time the
East Carolinian has helped sponsor a writing event. Still, the
Creative Writer's Club and the English Club have their first
joint opportunity to put their appreciation into words. Thanks,
friends.
Since the first notice was published, the prize money has
risen to fifteen dollars. The lucky winners will be announced in
next week's issue. All contributors receive our hearty thanks.

and poems almost made the paper. Maybe next time some slight
revision will make all the difference. Try next year.

Mel had put the convertible top
down, and the wind blew their hair
wildly as the car increaed in speed.
Jan laughed with the thrill as she
thought-This is fun!
They walked to the door breath-
les and laughing. When Mel finally
caught his breath, he said, "Jan,

thoughts filling her head and ma-

can help me forget everything about
Seaport. He is so understanding and
so much fun. Why, he was attractive
to me the very first time that I saw
him with his flashing smile and gay
personality. She drifted to sleep,
dreaming of tomorrow.
Jan was waiting on a mid-morning
customer when Mel came in. He sat
down and waited for her. When she
was through she called to Granny
and took off her apron.
They walked along the road that
followed the curve of the sea until
they came to a high sand dune.
There they stopped and looked a-
round them. It was a beuti(fud
morning. The blue-green sea was
dotted with white boats containing
village men, busy with their day's
work. Jan and Mel could hear them
shouting across the water to each
other. The harbor was nearly empty
as most of the boats were out. A
few men had spread their nets along
the shore to dry, and others were
busily merging theirs. Children ran
and played along the beach. Dogs
barked. Housewives called to each
other The sun shone brightly on
the scene. It is indeed a beautiful
and happy scene to those who care
for it, thought Jan bitterly, and then
with an odd catch in her throat,
I'll be leaving H today-just as soon
as I give Mel my answer.
Mel took her hand and they walk-
ed slowly down the beach. Mel op-
ened his mouth to ask the question
that Jan must answer today. She
turned her head and looked out to
sea. Suddenly a scream pierced the

ef a copyboy was a much sought
alter prize, for that was the step
before entering the profession as a
full-fledged cub reporter. It was the
breaking-in, the training period.
I sat at the "Post" table, squeezed
up tight against the window, in
Bassinas, munching popcorn from a
bowl, moodily speculating on how I
could bolster my feeble prestige. Just
being a Post employee entitled me
to sit at the privileged table, but I
was on the business end of the paper,
and would have to give up my fav-
ored scat, soon as the important
people started to arrive. At Bassin's,
the walls were blue, the upholstered
leather seats were blue, the indirect
lighting was a pale blue. Everything
?was blue, including me. Several of the
reporters at the table, ignoring me
com. .letely, chattered idly on. I didn't
care. Bits and pieces would drift
over to me above the tinkling of
glasses and hushed laughter and ear-
nest conversations. Something about
the "Rooshians That's what they
kept calling them, "those Rooshians
The war was over, and a delegation
of important Russians, our allies
then, had arrived in Washington for
conferences or something. What did
it matter to me? I was nothing.
It was late evening, the streets
were deserted, icy. Soft snowflakes
whirled and spiralled downward,
, ome clinging tenaciously and mo-
mentarily to the window, then slith-
ering into mush on the sill. Christmas
decorations lighted - the streets. A
Salvation Army worker strode by,
ringing a bell jarringly back and
forth, calling for donations. An occa-
sional passerby, head bent into the
wind, looked longingly, with a side-
wise glance, into the blue warmth of
Bassin's, but hurried on, brushing off
the crusting snow and exhaling a
misty vapor. ,
The door burst open with an icy
blast of cold air, and a handful of
ill-directed snowflakes that soon paid
for their rash entry by dissolving
into blobs of moisture on the floor.
Billy skidded to a halt, speechless
with excitement, his mouth working
soundlessly. Billy was always ex-
cited. He was just a county reporter,
but still he was "in the know Some-
thing had happened, but he couldnt
get himself together coherently. The
others waited erpectantly. I didn't.
He wasn't talking to me. I was noth-
ing. I didn't care.
"What's up, Bill?"
"One of them Roosihians he sput-
tered, "outside. Talking, and mutter-
ing and stomping his feet, and I
can't . .
They arose in a body, all talking
simultaneously. All agreeing simul-
taneously that among them all, they
could speak just one language, Eng-
lish.
Then it hit me. I'd been born and
raised in the meltingjpot area of
Pennsylvania; one o my antecedents
had been foreign-born, and from child-
hood I had assimilated a vast knowl-
edge of various Slavic tongues. To
be sure, a great deal of what I knew
had gone through the Americaniza-
tion process and I had never tried
it out on a true-blue foreigner, but?
nothing ventured, nothing gained.
With great dignity I rose from the
table. "I'll talk to him I said briefly,
making a play at boredom although I
my heart was jarring back and forth
like the Salvation Army worker's
bell.
"You?" they chorused, almost de-
risively.
"Yes. Me I started for the C r
with Billy. They remained standing,
speechless, looking incredulously after
us.
Excitable Billy pranced eagerly
toward the dejected looking figure
on the deserted walk. He motioned
me toward the "Rooshian" in an in-
troductory gesture. The Russian look-
ed up sadly, .is mustache twitching,
his cap in his hand, j timidly called
out a greeting in what I hoped was
passable Russian. A broad smile
broke across his face; he grasped my
hand tightly, then engulfed me in a
happy embrace. Animated into great
garrulouness, he proceeded to give
a long drawn-out explanation of his
difficulties?in a language that had
no resemblance whatever to anything
I had ever heard before. I fixed a
smile of "comprehension" on my
face, and kept nodding and clucking
.sympathetically, interposing an occa-
sional encouraging "Da" whenever
he paused for breath. I was relieved
when Billy excitedly raced back into
Bassin's to report tihat we were in-
deed carrying on a "conversation"
in Russian. A few minutes later
when 1 joined them, I was met with
a babel of "who, what, when, where

be the beginning of one of my most
exciting adventures while I was in
the army.
Three days earlier our enemy had
positioned themselves upon a hill
where they could see our every
movement and easily repel our at-
tacks. Being unable to advance our
unit and becoming disgusted with
our poor tactics of war, the Captain
had begun to harass us squad leaders
no end. I had earned the dubious

naturally he saved his dirtiest de-

Self Portrait
by Betty Lou Small
I am the parching, peeling lips of an
old man in the desert, thirsting for
water?an old man in the desert,
alone.
I "am the lifted hand of a drowning
man, writhing to clutch what isn't
there?seeking the plank, the board
now gone.
I am a frightened, weeping child in
the dark, without the ease of a
mother's voice or the touch of a
mother's hand.
I am an unmapped island of mistclad
rocks, away from life, away from

I am the boWow, resounding echo of
long unanswered calls.
A Prayer
by Margaret Starnes
Let me and all men, Lord, be kind
To him who speaks a tongue not
mine,
To him whose skin Thy hand has
touched
And left another color such
as brown
or red
or yellow.
For Thou, 0 God of all creation,
Didst not create alone my nation
nor my white pigment
nor my familiar speech.
But all men, Lord, are close within
Thy reach.
Rail Cargo
by Patricia J. Wentz
The river trestle is out tonight.
Unwarned, the southbound passenger
and the northbound freight speed
on.
The wheels beat the rails.
The diesels screech through the mur-
ky fog.
The freight engineer sees the red-
board
And brakes to save the refrigerated
grapefruit,
To save himself for four-year-old
Susie.
The freight diesel goes first
Down into the deep muddy water.
Straight to the botom like links of
a chain
Follow the cars of oranges, lettuce,
and string beans.
The cab, a hundred cars back, shakes
on the rails
And wakes the drunken flagman
who looks
Out the window and says,
Nightfall
by Jimmy Walton
Peering through the window,
I saw the obscure and deep vastness?
nightfall.
I saw the trees standing erect?
A salute to their concealing friend.
From a house nearby a light?
Searching for the heart of its
darkening foe.
Surveying the dim immensity,
I found that only the moon could
penetrate its hovering shell.
I saw the shadows cast upon the
earth?
Projected by the moon from its
lofty dwelling.
From a chimney a rolling smoke?
Adding its veil of dark vapor to?
nightfall.
"What the hell d'he stop here for?'
The southbound passenger ploughs on
through the swamp
Answering the mating call of the
freight as the tourists dream of
Florida.
Too late the fireman points ahead to
show the engineer.
The brakes do their best by holding
true to the rails
But the rails are out.
Over go the diesel, express cars,
United States mail.
The empty diner follows four coaches.
The honeymooners in the first Pull-
man go next.
Little Mary Brown in the third Pull-
man wakes ip and
Asks her divorced mother, "Where's
Daddy?"
No time to think, no time to live,
no time to pray,
Only time to rebuild the trestle for
more Rail Cargo.
On Death
by Wn.iam. Arnold
Lucky Shelley drowned to death,
Shakespeare died of Time;
Alcohol rut short an end
To Dylan Thomas' hyme;
Keats fell low to lung disease
And Byron met his wake,
When ripped by screaming pistol balls
In war for freedom's sake;
Wilde decayed in prison,
Dope bestilled Poe's breath?
But my fate here in English Class
Is to be borea to death.

Naval Operations, tells about the
time during World War II when he
received a frantic radio from an-
other American ship saying that the
flagship was shelling it. Burke ra-
dioed back: "We are stopping fire.
night and from two until six tomor-
row morning. That'll be all, Rorie
d felt like saying, "That's enough,
Sir but instead I just saluted and
walked out.
At 7:30 my squad of twelve men
and I loaded our ammunition upon
our backs and started for our posi-
tion at the base of the hill. Just
before we reached our position, we
came to a ditch cohered with a growth
of bushes and runuing down from
the top of the hill. Even though my
maps clearly designated this ditch,
I discovered it only after I had fallen
into it and injured my leg slightly
and my patience considerably.
Finally we reached our firing posi-
tion and I began to assign each man
his station. The more I walked, the
more f cursed that ditch. Then all
of a sudden a thought hit me like
a ton of bricks. That ditch was the
way to get to the top of the hill. It
was so .simple I couldn't help wonder-
ing if anyone else had thought of it,
or if the enemy knew and were
guarding the ditch.
Now I am not a hero, nor was I
trying to be one that night; but I
had to find out if it were possible
to reach the top of the hill by crawl-
ing up the ditch. Even if I were to
be captured, it would be better than
the hell ll! had been though for the
past three days.
At 8:30 I crawled into the ditch
and began my ascent of the hill.
Everything went well for the first
200 yards, but then trouble started.
Just as I got inside the enemy's line,
I heard voices in the distance. Closer
and closer the voices came, until I
could make out the silhouettes of
five men. I flattened myself in the
ditch and tried to stop my noisy
breathing, which sounded so loudly
through the quiet night. Finally the
men moved on and I began my crawl-
ing again. As I' crawled the last
hundred yards to the top, I began to
wonder what I would do when I
reached my destination. I looked at
my watch and received another
shock. It was ten past nine, and I
had given orders to my assistant
squad leader to tell the Old Man I
had gotten captured f I were not
back by ten o'clock. Whatever I was
to do, I had to do fast and get back
to my men.
When I had almost decided to re-
turn without further delay, I noticed
a large tent a few yards away. Could
this be the enemy's headquarters?
If so, how could I get into it without
being noticed? The enemy wre
dressed the same as I was except
that they wore the garrison cap and
I wore the dress hat. This single
difference was all that distinguished
me from one of the enemy. I sllPP
from the ditch, removed my hat, and
casually strolled toward the tent.
"Haft! Who goes there?" My knees
felt weak as water when I heard
those words from the guard in front
of the tent,
"This is no time to get scared
I told myself, as I answered, "Cor-
poral Rorie, with a message from the
Captain
"Pass said the guard, and 'I step-
ped into the tent.
There was only one man, a private,
in the tent. As he looked at me in-
quiringly. I said, "The Captain wants
the maps over at his tent
"O. K Corporal replied the pri-
vate, and began gathering up all
the maps for me. "Want to take hi
pistol, too?"
"He didn't say to, but I will I
replied. So picking up the pistol, I
fastened it to my waist, gathered up
the maps, thanked the private, and
started back to the ditch upon shaking
legs.
Once back in the ditch I felt very
much relieved. As it was was now
9:35, I knew I had to rush. It seemed
twice as far going back down as it
had coming up, but finally I reached
the bottom. When I was out of the
ditch and making my way back to
my men, I began to laugh to mysetf.
?It had been almost too easy. I could
hardly wait to see the Old Man's
face when I gave him the maps.
"?Corporal Rorie wishes permission
to speak to the Company Commander,
Sir
"What is it, Rorie?" inquired the
'Company Commander.
I was really in my glory as 1
presented the maps and pistol to
him and told him of my venture.
For the first time the Captain and
I laughed together, as he turned the
pistol over in his hand and said,
"Boy, if only I could see Captain

The next day as dawn broke beau-
tifully over the bare hill, an inspir-
ing sight met our eyes. The enemy
was abandoning the hill with great
expedition.

Cyrano And The Cat
I was wanning my hands over
the fires of Hell one night when I
met the two strangest characters.
They were both on my stoking crew
and I was almost positive I had met
them somewhere in the other world.
One of them had been there a good
deal longer than I but hadn't made
supervisor yet due to some conflict
with the Big Boss. The way I heard
the story was that the Devil had
been talking about big red roses and
the old guy had yelled, "Whos
nose?" and stuck a sword in the
Red Demon. This other guy had just
arrived the day before and looked,
acted, and talked typical East Side.
He was assigned to pick up the lump
of coal that went on the fellow called
Burgularack's shovel. In case you
didn't know, we stoke our furnaces

This punk looked over at the old-
timer and said, "Hey, Man, I be

"Recognize you rot this obnoxi-

THUS SONG BEFORE
Fujiyama
by Gus George
My first impression of Mount Fuji
was that its 'presence dominated the
entire countryside. It was a perfect
example of what 1 had always
thought a mountain should look like.
Resembling an inverted ice cream
cone, it rose to a magnificent height
of twelve thousand feet. The peak
was covered with snow and surround-
ed by a halo of clouds. From the
base of the mountain to about a
third of tie way to the top, green
grass ana small trees covered the
sides. The rest of the mountain up to
where the snow began was bare.
There were a few buildings located
on the slopes and fewer still were
situated on the smface of the moun-
tain. A trail which started on the
eastern slope could be seen winding
its way to the beginning of the snow,
then it was lost under recent snow.
Sometimes you could see snow being
blown from the peak and this would
make you realize that the wind that
high was strong. I never got used
to the mountain's dominating pres-
ence as long as I remained where I
could see it and it always made me
realize what small insignificant crea-
tures w really are.

Interior work on new Garrett dorm-
itory has reached the final stages,
with a few last finishing touches
being added. Furniture has been
moved into the unopened wing and
the area in front of the dorm is being
landscaped. As only a few students
requested to move in during the
Spring Quarter, it has been decided
that it is impractical to open the
other wing at this time.
.In the wing being used at this
time, the equipment for the recrea-
tion room in the basement has been
moved i-i. Ping pong tables and card
game and other similar game equip-
ment tables are present. Dispensers
for soft drinks, milk, nabs, and candy
will be added at a later date.
There will be three pay telephones,
one on each floor, with a main in-
tercom on the first floor as in the
other girls' dorms. The kitchen and
the laundry room which are located
on the unopened wing have n6t been
equipped as yet, and also the recrea-
tion room on this section.
Garrett Hall will function as two
beparate units; they will (probably
be known a? Garett East and Garrett

finance a set by private means.
This dormitory has been set aside
as an uplperclassmen women's dorm.

their rooms in it for next Fall quart-

Added conveniences which have been

age purposes and trash shutes for

and was continued the next day, East
Carolina's tennis squad clipped a

standing for the Bucs was Maurice

The Pan triers came back in a return
match to upset the Bucs, 5-2. High

BUC TRACKSTERS?Charlie Bishop and Jim Henderson shake hands
on a job well-done at a recent East Carolina track meet. The two pictured
above were greatly responsible for the Pirate showing against State and
Wake Forest, and were the top point-getters against Atlantic Christian
last week. (Photo by Bill Boyd)
Coach Howard Porter, the
irolina golfers lost two match-
High Point on Monday and
. ,) this week. The first con-
test was 19-8, the second, 19-7.
Fred Sexton was outstanding for
:he Buccaneers.
The Pirates lost an earlier match
with Guilford, thus giving them a
0-3 North State slate for the eam-
aign. Coach Porter's boys are the
I-o&p's defending champs, having won
the title for the past 10 years con-
secutively.
East Carolina's diamond nine will
play host to a visiting Guilford team
here at College Field on Friday, then
will m-et an invading Elon Christian
outfit on Saturday.
Coach Jim Mallory stated earlier
this week that he will probably send
veteran Charlie Russell against the
Quakers. Russell was undefeated
against Conference foes last year,
when the Pirates took the North
State crown with a 20-6 record. His
slate was 6-0.
Tommy Harkey, an ace lefthander,
imported from the armed forces, will
probably start on the mound against
Elon. Harkey is the leading Buc
hurler thus far this seanon. He has
ompiled a 2-2 mark, winning over
the Kingston Class B professionals
and the Camp Lejeune Marines, and
losing to Western Carolina and Wake
Forest.
Probable starters in the Pirate in-
ie! 1 Friday will be big Nick Smoth-
' rs aft first base; Sandy Sanderson
at second base; Jerry Stewart at

Outfielders are expected to be Ray

the school is growing much

Martinez has also directed the 1956

Tracksters Improving
Under the guidance of a new coach,
Dr. J. O. Miller, the Buc track team
has shown marked improvement
during this year. Only recently, the
cindermen ran second, only 12 points
behind a powerful N. C. State team
in a tri-angular affair at Raleigh.
ECC's 56 7-10 points ranked them
20 1-10 points better than Wake
Forest in this same contest. .
It should also be noted that Coach
Miller's boys have done all this vast
improving without the aid of a home
track on which to drill, and without
other various necessities which a
track squad should have.

Match
Buc cindermen managed to emerge
with second place track honors in a
tri-angular meet with Wake Forest
and N. C. State last Saturday in
Raleigh. Equalized depth is what de-
termined the ultimate outcome which
saw N. C. State take first place
and Wake Forest, of course, take the
third spot.
Jim Henderson again paced the
Pirate thinclads and "Injun" Jim
garnered 11 points for himself as
he won the 100 yard dash with a
time of 9.8, the low hurdles with a
time o't 24.5 and took a last place
in the high hurdles with an unofficial
time of 16.0. Many felt that the time
element kept Henderson from show-
ing his best form, for when it was
time tor the versatile athlete to enter
one event, he was just finishing a
previous one and the squad was hurt
quite a bit by this factor.

veteran righthander Mack Cherry on
the mound and the Indians lashed
for, all five of their runs during
? arry's four-inning stint. They
made these runs on a walk, three

Coach Jim Mallory's boys scored
first. First baseman Nick Smothers
singled and advanced to second on
an error. The next man up flied out
to deep short and Smothers dug for
third base. The shortstop threw wild-
ly to third, the ball bounced solidly
off Smothers' head, out of the park,
and the big 220 pound senior trudged
home for the score.
Catawba came back to score their
j five runs and ECC added two more,
led the contest witi one in the sixth and one in the sev-
enth innings.
Ben Baker relieved Cherry in the
fifth frame and pitched scoreless
ball. Charlie Russell came on in the

Gene Turner, East Carolina's most
feared long ball hitter, blasted a-390

the Bucs their final run. He col-
lected a single also, to lead his mates
at the plate. Bucky Reep, Pirate third
sacker, contributed a double and a

bail. Upon entering EC, the 5-8, 170
I ound athlete wasted no time in
promptly becoming one of Coach Jaek
Boone's top backfield men on the
football team. He has enjoyed three
successful years on the squad. A
quart'rback, Milton played two of
the better games of his college career
against West Chester, Pennsylvania
and East Tennessee College of Tenn-
essee last fall.
Married to the former Caroline
Seller, also of Portsmouth, his major
is Physical Education; his minor,
Social Studies. Milton has strong
hopes of landing a top coaching and
teaohing position in his native Nor-
folk County area after graduating
'rota here next month.
Interested In Track
East Carolina had only a small
group of trackmen last year, but
has shown remarkable improvement
ki the up-and-coming gport this year.
Most of the credit belongs to the
track coach, Dr. J. O. Miller, of
cours?, but Collier has aided Dr.
Miller quite a bit in his work with
the squad, besides being the general
manager of the team. Milton has
belpe i some of the inexperienced
boys quite a bit and his work has
certainly been a great contribution
to Dr. Miller and the team as a whole.
Asked how he feels about leaving
East Carolina when graduation time
arrives, the 23-year-old athlete said,
"I feel that by coming to East Caro-
lina College, I have prepared myself
for the coaching and teaohing pro-
fession quite well and do not believe
I coud have obtained a better edu-
cation, academically, civically, social-
ly or culturally, anywhere else in
the country
Milton's wife is also graduating
at the same time and when these
two do leave the campus of East
Carolina, it can be said that their
absence will be greatly noticed, but
it can also be said that Mr. and Mrs.
Milton Collier will be a predominant
asset to the teaching profession.

James, Knight?Terrific
Another well-beamed couple were
Dottie Jo James and George Knight
who did terrific jobs as the comedy
couple. Miss James handled most con-
vincingly one of the best comedy
that has ever been written
into a Broadway production, and as
a matter of fact came close to stealing
the show on several occasions. George
Knight as the man in her life was
wonderfully suited to this part, not
only dramatically and vocally, but in
the role of a dancer. As a matter
Of fact, his dance following his
"Kansas City" number, nearly brought
down the house. In a sentence, Dottie
Jo was a perfect scream, and George
was right behind her.
Others in lesser roles who added
a lot to the show were June Crews
as a warmly maternal but humorous
Aunt Eller, Joe Stell as a very sin-
ister Jud Fry. Barbara Harris as a
giggling Gertie Cummings, Joan
Sparks who because of a nice clear
voice made something musical out

But the praise cannot stop here.
The scenery committee prodvtced some
very theatrical serts, the dancing
was robust and full-bodied (Jesse
Boyd's part in the Dream Sequence
was so real it was frightening),
Mary Dunn Beatty as the premiere
danseuse did some fine work, and
the lighting was expertly handled.
One rarely sees the dramatic di-
rector; s e is usually back-stafce
?lage to share the ovation they re-
ceived, an honor which sbe more than
justly deserved, for the dramatic side
o the production was on a levei
with the musical, and for this she is
responsible and should be congratu-
lated. One noticeable thing which
I'm sure was her doings was the
