Only One-Third
Of Student Body
Voice Opinion
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
Social fraternities received an
overwhelming vote of approval by
the student body and a large vote
o. disap. rova; by the faculty in the
campus-wide straw poll conducted
here earlier this week.
Final tabulations showed that the
student body voted 4 to 1 in favor
of fraternities, while the faculty
voted 3 to 1 against them.
Only one-third of the students
turned out to vote on the rainy
Monday, however, and a general
feeling that there is not enough in-
terest in such organization seems
to be circulating.
Commenting on the .mal! vote,
Dean Tucker, chairman of the stu-
dent-faculty committee studying fra-
ternities, said, "It seems to me that
the students did not show enough
interest in it
SGA President Dock Smith stated
th. t although only one-third of the
students voted, it was still one of
te largest ever recorded at this
institution.
"With such a dear and over-
whelming vote of the student body
in favor of social fraternities, I see
a great challenge ahead for our
administration. I see a great chal-
lenge aheid of us also if we are to
prove ourselves worthy of this great
opportunity President Smith said.
"This approval may be only an
opinion Smith continued, "hut it
certainly givers a clear indication of
what the students here at East Caro-
lina want and feel they deserve
Committee Meeting
According to Dean Tucker, the
fraternity committee will meet today
and consider the vote. It will then
pass along its findings to President
Mes.sick who will 'present the find-
ings and recommendations to the
Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees will con-
sider the student and faculty opinion
as expressed in the opinion poll and
will take some action on social fra-
ternities.
Analyzation Of Vote
An analyz tion of the vote showed
that of the 1.114 students voting,
S29 voted for fraternities, 204 voted
against them, and SI had no feel-
ings for or against them.
The vote from the faculty showed
that the faculty voted three to one
against such organizations. Fifty-
four faculty members voted against
fraternities, 19 voted for them, and
14 had no feelings.
Further Break-down
A further break-down of the vote
which showed the results according
to classes showed that of the 167
seniors voting, 102 were for fraterni-
ties, 48 against, and 17 had no feel-
ings on them.
Ninty-one seniors said they would
join a fraternity if asked, and 54

It was pretty busy around the polls Monday, during the opinion poll
concerning national social fraternities, although only one-third of East
Carolina's student, voted.
In Mock Election
Students Favor Stevenson
Over Ike By 2-1 Margin
In the presidential poll conducted
here this week by the East Caro-
linian, Adlai Stevenson and Estes
Ki fauver received approximately
6895 of the votes cast or a margin
of two to one over the Republican
candidates, Eise.ihower and Nixon.
With around one-third of the stu-
dents voting, the final tabulations,
excluding the faculty votes, showed
the Democrats with a vote of 738
to the 34G cast for the Republicans.
Breakdown of Votes
A breakdown of the votes on cam-
us showed that Stevenson received
his largest majority from the senior
and sophomore classes where he re-
ceived two and a half votes for every
one cast for Eisenhower. Not far
behind, however, was the junior
class who gave Stevenson a margin
of two and a quarter votes to every
one given to Ike.
Incidentally, Stevenson received
his largest vote percentage from the
upperclassmen, many of whom will
be eligible to vote in the presidential
election next week.
The smallest majority the Demo-
crats received in the poll came from
the Freshman Class where they re-
ceived only one and three-fourths
votes for each one cast for Ike.
The class participating most ex-
tensively in the poll were the juniors
with 4f'i of that class votm Close
behind, however, were the sopho-
mores with 44ff voting. The seniors
and freahmes had the lowest per-
centage of voters with 33C' and
29 r, respectively.
Hall Comments
Bobby Hall, President of the Young
Democrats Club on campus, feels
that the trend of college voting in
North Carolina indicates that Ei-
senhower can expect a much lesser
vote in this state this year than he
received in 1952.
According to Hall, the difference
between the election this year and
the one in 1962 is "that in 1952 the
people went to the polls shouting
'we want a change' but this year
they are shouting 'short changed

The Great Crusade
(Guest columnist Bobby Hall is presi-
dent of the campus YDC. He has had pre-
vious experience with the East Carolinian as
assistant editor and columnist.?Editor)
By BOBBY HALL
As November 6th draws near the Ameri-
can people are being drawn nearer and nearer
in' making a great decision of electing a gov-
erning body of these great United States for
the next four years. On the one side they have
leadership and the other popularity and cru-
sadership. In 1952 the American people elect-
ed the crusader Dwight D. Eisenhower to
the presidency. During Mr. Eisenhower's cam-
paign there was talk of a "great crusade
This crusade was so far fetched it was to
embrace every element of government and
give the American people a new America.
What was this "great crusade?" This is hard
to answer but we do know what it was not.
The "great crusade" could not have been
meant to clean up corruption in the govern-
ment. If it did how does the Republican Party
explain the cheese deal, the nickle contract
in Cuba, the Dixon-Yates contract, and yes,
Mr. Harold Talbott, former secretary of the
Air Force.
The "great crusade" could not have meant
the reduction of taxes which would help all
the American people. It is true taxes have
been reduced; but what kind? The excise
taxes were reduced but not for the people.
This tax was levied during the war on a va-
riety of goods such as household appliances,
automobiles and entertainments. To show who
benefited in the reduction of this tax lets use
the theater as an example. When this tax
was in force and if you went to a movie a
certain percentage of the admission price was
tax and was used by the government. Today
you pay the same price or. more as you did
when the tax was in force. So the business
establishment is making the reduction that
you should be receiving. The "great crusade"
"could not have meant increased social se-
curity for our older generation as the Re-
publican's fought the Democratic amendments
of lowering the benefit age for those perm-
anently and totally disabled from 65 to 60;
and lowering the retirement age for women
from 65 to 62; and the increase of grants to
the States for public assistance to the needy,
aged, blind, and disabled.
On December 8, 1849, at Galveston, Texas,
General Eisenhower said: "If all that Ameri-
cans want is security, they can go to prison.
They'll have enough to eat, a bed, and a roof
over their heads Evidently six and a half
years has wrought little basic change in Mr.
Eisenhower's philosophy. He called the above
amendments passed by Congress "unwise
The "great crusade" could not have meant
'peace and prosperity" as the Republicans
would have you believe. Does the following
constitute prosperity? In the three and one-
haif years the Republicans have been in of-
fice 180,000 small farmers have been forced
off their farms; for every $4 a farmer got
in 1952 he gets less than $3 now; small busi-
ness profits decreased by 52 per cent while
big business profits went up by 61 per cent;
take home pay of corporations went up 35
per cent while" the average person's went up
only 4 per cent. As for peace do we have
peace when every time an American plane
gets near a Russian border it is shot down;
Americans imprisoned in Communist coun-
tries; and do we have peace when there are
revolts in Poland and Austria?
Today when you hear a Republican cam-
paigning "for his party all you can hear him
say, is. "We've got Ike Never does he talk
about the issues involved and I can under-
stand why. When a Republican braggs about
his party's record in the past three and one-
half years and its accomplishments he always
quotes legislation passed by the 84th Demo-
cratically controlled Congress. When I am
arguing politics I sometimes hear the Demo-
cratic Party labeled as the "War Party Not
only is this a low level of political arguing
but it goes as far as to state war is bipar-
tisan and that one segment of the American
people are war monguls. The Democratic par-
ty cannot help it if a nation attacks its peo-
ple but they can and did something about it.
Today when new ideas are advanced the Re-
publicans turn them down as "pie in the sky"
or say impossible. The Republicans have in
the past and still continue to base their poli-
cies on ideas laid down by someone else. To
illustrate this point Adlai Stevenson stated
that he thought; "a Republican idea was a
Democratic idea fifty years old
When the soil bank program was first
proposed the Republicans stated it would not
work. However it wajs recently passed into
law and they are now using it extensively in
the mid-western states where there is a
chance of those states going Republican.
No the "great crusade" did not eliminate
all the evils of government. In 1954 the Amer-
ican people went to the polls and returned a
Democratic controlled congress thus getting
rid of some of the crusaders. Lets hope on
November 6th they will return to the polls
and finish the job.

Controversial Currents
Five Days Before
Election Draft
Issue And H-Bomb
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
Now that voting time is almost
here, it is interesting to look back
and review the issues that have been
mobt debatable during the campaign-
ing.
At the first of this year's cam-
paign, o?ie would have thought
that civil rights and the health issue
were going to be the major issues,
but live days before the balloting,
however, the tale is quite different,
irk-tead of integration and health, the
main issues have been military draft-
ing and hydrogen bomb explosions.
The issue of stopping the military
draft is not only a controversial one,
but it also affect, many college men.
In brief, Adlai Stevenson thinks
that military drafting is not neces-
sary under peaceful circumstances
such as we now enjoy. He feels that
young men would be encouraged to
join freely by offers of high wages,
special bonuses, and other induce-
ments.
Eisenfhower thinks exactly opposite
from this. He thinks the draft is
necessary in order to maintain se-
en rity.
Because of the importance of this
particular issue to many young peo-
ple I decided to find out how some
of the East Carolina boys felt about
it. The results of a small, private
poll conducted by CC indicated that
a great many boys favor the view
taken by Eisenhower.
The majority of the participants,
however, indicated th.it they were
true sons of the traditionally solid
South and were supporting Steven-
son, even though they disagreed with
him on this one issue.
Many of the boys polled thought
that the draft was necessary to
maintain our security. Bobby Mann,
a senior who has already been in
service, said, "So long as the race
for military strength continues, it
is imperative for our country to
maintain the present draft laws
Eddie Dennis, too, feels somewhat
dubious of the proposal to stop the
draft, but in general is supporting
Stevenson.
"I feel that we need some type
of compulsory draft law in order to
maintain a fighting force which will
demand the respect of our communist
aggressors and allies alike in order
to retard the possibility of future
attack, he stated.
Cadet-Colonel Ernest L. McFarland
thinks that as a political issue it is
a brilliant idea on Stevenson's part.
"But as far as carrying it out, it's
not he said. "The U. S. has never
been a militarilistic nation and as
long as we depend only on those who
volunteer, the safety of our nation
will be jeopardized
Council Jarman pointed out that
under the present draft law, volun-
tary enlistment has been so stimu-
lated that draft calls for some of
the services are reduced or nonex-
istent. However, he thinks that we
should follow the advice of the Chair-
men of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
the military chiefs of the service
and continue the drafting.
Ahn Alcock thinks that we need
a highly mobile military force since
a surprise enemy attack will be more
devastating now than ever before.
"Minimum military training can
give us a fairly mobile reserve force
he stated. "It, at least, would be more
mobile than could be expected if
we waited till an attack to begin
training military personnel
Horace Rose thinks that without
the draft the national defense of
the country would be in jeopardy
due to communistic aggression.
Tommy Baker thinks that Steven-
son will lose a lot of votes because
of the outragious statements that
he has made concerning the draft.
"We have to have defense?every-
body knows that he said.
Don Graziano thinks that Eisen-
hower is a military man and should
know best about military matters.
"The plow under President Eisen-
hower is the best yet and should be
continued he said.

Should The US Have A Woman President?
The battle of the sexes rages on.
A question as old as time itself has
stepped into modem dress and still
plagues the minds of today's Man
and Woman: "Should the United
States have a woman President?"
Two well-versed members of out-
standing City organization have
agreed to publish their own well-
calculated thoughts on the gravity
of this current issue. From the local
chapter of the American Daughters
oe the vConfederacy, Mrs. Elizia
Ham; ton Finn 1 as taken the affirm-
ative side. From the local chapter
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Men, the honorable
Herbert T. Willie, has taken the
negative side.
In keeping with the rules of the
NAFTAM, we have consented to
let Mr. Willie speak first, (the rule
is that since women are now equal
to men, the age-old custom of "ladies
first" should forever be abandoned
and forgotten: section 1, page three
of andbook).
Says Mr. Willie:
"Ever since the beginning of time,
Women have been the thorn in the
side of all peace-loving societies. In
the beginning, it was Eve who ate
the apple, then made Adam partuke
of it. Then, later, the female sex
invented the old pitch about women
should be treated with tenderness,
should step on men's coats when
crossing muddy streets, should be
offered a man's seat when riding
on a bus, should have men rise when
?he enters the room, should have
men stoop and pick up her hand-
kerchief when she dropped it?all
of that.
"Now, after Cirrie Nation and her
hatchet-women chopped up all the
bars and outlawed whiskey, they want
to become president. Voting isn't
enough for them. They've got to vote,
then count t.em, then be President.
"I ay beware. Next they will out-
law cigars, football and dirty jokes
Mrs. Finn:
"We, the American Daughters of
the Confederacy, believe that a wo-
man would make an ideal president
of these United States.
"When our organization was first
being formed, all the women in the
county wanted to join. They knew
that we were in favor of a woman
president?not that we have anything
against President Eisenhower, you
understand. But Nixon is another
matter. And a woman president
would not envolve herself in the
mud-slinging and uncouth arts of
sheer politics.
"There are many reforms we
women would demand to have put
into effect, that men would never
?think of. Our j olicies toward Russia
would not be the same, nor would
the Urrible parking situation at
East Carolina, I say.
"In answer to Mr. Willie's state-
ment about Adam and Eve, I would
like to say that neither Adam nor
Eve wouli make a suitable present-
day president, but of the two, Eve
would have been the more modern.
Her farm plan, evidently, was good
enough to yield apples and other
fruits. Eisenhower, a man, mind you,
can't even do that well with all the
modern machinery.
"A woman would definitely change
things around here

SINCE THIS IS THE LAST edit-
ion before election, I just can't re-
sist making a pre-election predic-
tion. Although I am supporting
Adlai Stevenson and his policies one
hundred percent, I believe that the
voting trend will be in Ike's direc-
tion. Even though many of the main
political issues have turned favorably
toward Stevenson, it seems that pros-
perity and popularity are still wide-
spread enough to elect Eisenhower.
In Congress, however, I believe
the Democrats will make many ad-
vances and increase their majority
there.
It was early morning . . . just
past one. Fog hung heavily over the
whole campus?so heavily that the
street lights instead of shining glowed
irideseently. The buildings lost char-
acter and became mere forms in
blfck. A student could be heard in
the distance, the tapping of his foot-
steps echoing through the moist
night air. They crescendoed past one
building, on to another, between two
more, and finally faded away. The
campus lights never caught up his
shadow. It was as if he had not been.
Thf stillness continued to reign, un-
dh turbed and unconcerned. One light,
sank deep into a clump of trees,
looked as if it were being strangled

closing surely about it. Was it cry-
ing out for help? Certainly it must
be in the face of such stark circum-
stances. But surprisingly enough,
there were no sounds. It burned on,
Quietly, never flickering, steadily,
confidently. The simple glow seemed
impervious to the continuous efforts
of its death-bringer, its frustrater.
Neither relaxed its efforts; the ag-
gressor gained no ground. The light
glowed on with the radiance of know-
ing that its job was being well done.
?A lesson for mankind? Perhaps. To
the steadfast, the (consistent and

he's got them. Knowing that he is

. . . affection is not much good
unless it is expressed. What's more,
I have a notion that unexpressed

give admiration and affection get
it back?if what they give is spon-
taneous and sincere. People are ir-
resistibly drawn to 'warm' people.
And what is a warm person, except
one who instinctively takes the check-
rein off his emotions and enthusiasms
when dealing with people he cares
about? Such warmth is contagious.
If even one member of an indif-
ferent family can recapture it, it
will spread invpa'ifcaptibly to the
others, until the decline of intimacy
is halted.
To be manifestly loved, to
be openly admired, are human needs
as basic as breathing. Why, then,
wanting them so much ourselves,
do we deny them so often to others?
Why, indeed?"

October 29, 1966
Dear Editor,
Contrary to what seems to be a
popular belief, there are no social
fraternities here at East Carolina
College. I repeat, there are no social
fraternities either national or lo-
cal on our campus. True, some of
our newer fraternities hope to some-
day become affiliated with a nation-
al organization, but as of yet their
title cannot contain the word "so-
cial Bear in mind also that some
of these lately formed groups are
not recognized either by the admin-
istration or the S. G. A. Those fra-
ternities that have been granted re-
cognition received this right only
after due consideration had been
given to their constitutions and to
the services they proposed to render
With the last pro and con fraternity
grand slamming article out and students
left to judgr for themselves, the editorial
staff settles down once again back in the old
loutine of a Friday deadline to meet.
Comes the Revolution
After seeing some mighty nice looking
freshmen girls sitting in Gotten dorm dur-
ing the Homecoming dance looking v.
lul, this columnist is inclined to think that
they could use a dating bureau as luggested
by the Advisory Council. However, the up-
perclass dorms suggested by their empti-
ness that the older girls seem to be doing
very well on their own. The freshmen might
do well to back this new project before it
gets lost in someone's nd tape.
Another suggestion by the Advisury
Council that needs to be brought in the lime-
light is that of special privileges for upper-
class (junior and senior) girls. At the pre-
sent, there is no distinction made in the
dormitory closing hours for the girls. Gar-
rttt Hall officers visited Dean White to
discuss the situation and were informed
that it was unlikely that any change i ould
be made this year. The proposed ehang
for the upperclassmen to be allowed on
Friday and Saturday night a twelve oN
deadline to be in the dorm. Arguments
and con plus any information on other
colleges' regulations on this matter a
welcomed by Pot Pourri.
Congratulations
At the NCEA meeting last week the
ECC band turned in an excellent perform-
ance. Also Dr. Elwood Keister turned in
his usual miraculous event of directing a
high school clinic chorus and getting thai
response that comes only with a super
director.
Politics
Believe it or not, there are some eagi
Young Republicans on campus looking
a sponsor. Would some member of the facu
volunteer? After ail, Democrats, a lit!
competition is good for the soul.

What I& News?
to the school.
I realize that in the past few
weeks there has been much mis-
leading information on this subject
spread around the campus. I, myself,
had a misconceived idea concerning
our IocrI fraternities as a result of
this baseless information. Even the
East Carolinian carried articles con-
cerning our supposedly "social fra-
ternities Acting on this unvali-
dated information,I am sorry to say,
I had a part in the further distri-
bution of this false information. For
this I offer my most sincere apolo-
gies publicly as one of a series of
steps that I am taking to eradicate
any and all misconceptions that may
have arisen from actions on my part.

Bucs At Lenoir
Rhyne Saturday
For Loop Game
Thw week, East Carolina journeys
to Lenoir Rhyne for the toughest
yaffle of the season against the un-
beaten, untied Bears.
Defending champions of the North
State, the Bears have breezed through
seven games this season, winning all
of them by very, very impressive
margins. In the league, they clobbered
Western Carolina, Catawba, (Juilford,
Appalachian and Eloii.
Last week, they thrashed another
small-college power Emory and Henry
25-6. It was Emory and Henry's first
defeat of the year and the Bears
jidn't even work up a sweat, ac-
jording to reports.
30-Point Underdogs
Sympathetic observers have rated
Frist Carolina only 50 points below
the raging Bears in the coming
weekend tiff. With quarterback Gary
Mattocks, halfbacks Bobby Perry and
lameri Speight and fullback Bobby
Gay in good shape, along with most
of the linemen, the Bucs are expected
to put up a forceful fight?however,
one that will not strain the horses
of Lenoir Rhyne.
With a 2-2 record in conference
play, the Pirates no longer figure
in t. e title outcome. Whether the
game should go win, lose, draw or
postponed, Lenoir Rhyne will still
be top in the loop and the Pirates
in a shakey top three. A Pirate vic-
tory, however, would be one of the
upsets of the year.
Martinez' Swimmers Bolstered
By Addition Of Talented Frosh
AT CEN'lER?Big iii Mendenhall, a 6 import from Cary, N. ( will
be working at center for 1-
straight season. The lanky
bounders on the team in
ast Carolina's hoopsters this year, for the third
junior was one of the top point-makers and re-
1955-56.
(Editor's note: This is the second in
a series of four articles dealing with
this year's swimming team.)
The swimming charges of Coach
Ray M rtinez have been bolstered
this season by the addition of a
croup of outstanding prospects for
the coming season. This year's team
.hall be a mixture of ever-improving
veterans and newcomers who shall
carry the hopes of Pirate supporters
for swimming prominence against
some of the finest teams in the area. ,
Newcomers to the squ: d this yesff" reSpon,
are Mike Williamson, Glen Dyer,
Dave Thompson, Sidney Oliver, and
Herb Consolvo. Sidney Oliver hails
from Greensboro which possesses the
s'lrongitt swimming team among
outhern high schools. It will be up
to this newcomer to fill the spot
let by the loss of Frank Moore in
the Butterfly and the Breaststroke
events. Glen Dyer is another Greens-
boro boy who excells in the diving
event. His presence on the team
along with veteran Ken Midgette
gives East Carolina a strong repre-
sentation in this event. Dave Thomp-
son, a Durham boy, appears like a
good prospect as a running mate for
fleet Jimmy Meads in the 50 yard-
freestyle. Portsmouth, Virginia will
be represented in personage of Con-
solvo, a good all-around swimmer
now working on the 200 yard back-
stroke. The final member in this
new group of mermen is Mike Will-
iamson, a freshman from Rhode
Island. Williamson appears to be
the "sur. rise package" of this year's
team. A strong swimmer, he will
team with Harold McKee in the 220
and 440 yard freestyles.
Because of rule changes that now
make the dolphin kick (up and down
simultaneous movements of the legs)
legal, a veteran of last year's ag-
gregation, Ted "Anchor" Gartman,
lias been training for this new event.
Much of the team's success against
?.heir tough competition this year de-
! ends on how fast and how well this
junior athlete develops.
Dickie Denton, a senior member
f the team, will "shoulder" a big
he will anfrlfjr the
opening medley relay, plus swimming
the 100 yard freestyle and a leg of
the final freestyle relay. It's a job
which requires stamina and ability,
?me that will influence the Pirate's
showing greatly.
The other senior on the squad,
Joe Wallace, is a veteran back-
stroker. Wallace will take the place
of Ronnie Rose and will give the
Buc mermen a good duo in the 200
yard backstroke along with standout
Bob Sawyer.
In a matter of a few weeks, the
swimming season will begin for the
mermen. The mermen have been
through rigid practice sessions un-
der the watchful eye of Martinet.
Team manager, A. B. Benfield, re-
marked that the team as a whole
is in splendid condition this early
in the season.
(Next week's article will inform
Pirate followers of the caliber of
opponents the mermen will face in
Memorial Pool this season.)
Running At Halfback
Apps Drop Pirates 22-19
Three touchdowns, a safety and a
well-played first half netted the Ap-
palachian Mountaineers a 22-19 vic-
tory over East Carolina last week,
at Boone, and dropped the Bucs to
a 2-2 record.
The lo? left Coach Jack Boone's
gridders no c ance to figure in the
title race.
After racking up two touchdowns
and a safety in the first half of play,
while holding the Pirates to nothing,
the Mountaineers added one more
score to the pot in the opening
minutes of the second half to clinch
the game.
J-ast Carolina came back in the
?econd half, roared away for three
TD's and held the hosts to a single
first down during the whole last
half, but were unable to push across
the final winning score.
Outstanding for the Bucs on of-
fense were Bobby Perry, Tommy
Nash, Gary Mattocks and Bobby
Lilley. Algy Faircloth, Bucky Dennis
and Tommy Waggoner led the de-
ensive piny.
AGAINST THE BEARS?Jnmes Speight, tiny 170 pound sophomore half-
back for Coach Jack Boone's gridders, will be running at a starting berth
Saturday night when ECC tangles with mighty Lenoir Rhyne at Hickory.
Speight is a shifty, breakaway runner, hailing from Greenville.
It's rhyme time! With a fresh batch of
AT FORWARD?Nick Nichols, another member of the 1955-56 Pirate
quintet that presered a 46-game home court winning streak, will be back
as a starting forward in the ECC hoop outfit this season. He averaged
in the double scoring figures, last year and was a strong backboard man.
He's 6-4.
East Carolina's basketball team
has not lost a ball game in th Mem-
orial gymnasium since the dedica-
tion contest with Carolina, five years
ago. The victory string i? now 46
games long.

In addition to the "Who's Whoer's
football stars, beauty queens, ? and

ECC boasts a new quirk?two ac-
complished equestriennes.
? Keith ilder and Ruby Handley
made acquaintance as competitors in
the annual Tidewater Circuit of "horse
shows while still in high school. Both
are amateur riders, showing horses
for the love and thrill of the sport-
Keith was introduced to the art
of horse riding at the age of seven,
when s'r.e attended Camp Glenrochia
in Abingdon, Virginia, during the
summer months. Upon her return
home her fther bought Keith her
first horse. Red. "He was just a

family's attention, with eight-year-
old Keith entering Red in he plea-
sure classes. Her success in these
shows promt ted the buying of a
three-gaited shaw horfee, a mare
named Velda Dare. Keith was em-
barking on a hobby which now car-
ries her into arenas of Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Penn-
sylvania, and Maryland.
Keith's horses are stabled at the
Greystone Stable in Durham, North
Carolina, under the supervision of
trainer Jimmy Norris, also a pro-
fessional rider. Here the horses are
rested, bred, conditioned, and trained
for the season, which runs from early
spring through October.
Experiences
Keith cites her funniest experience
to have happened about five years
ago in Williamsport, Pa where she
was driving in a two-year-old fine
"rarness class. Suddenly her horse
started moving on away from the
cart, leaving Keith just sitting, very
embarrassed.
Her most unfortunate experience
happened several years ago when
she was hit in the face with the back
of her horse's head and had to un-
dergo plastic surgery on her nose.

WHO'S WHO
Art Club President
Designs Modern Pin
For Playhouse Group
Nora Willia, president of the Art
Club and photographer for The
East Carolinian, recently designed
a pin for the East Carolina Play-
house. Her design, one of several I
entered in competition through the j
advanced art class, was chosen by
Playhouse members. A prize of $5.00
was awarded the senior art major
irom John K. Kerr Dam, Virginia.
The pin is in te shape of a mask.
At the top is a large printed "e"
resembling a string and in the center
a written "c" and "p" representing
eyes and a nose. The pin will be
gold and outlined in black.
"Since the club wanted a different
and up-to-date pin I combined the
traditional mask and the simplicity
of modern design stated Nora. The
design was made to suit other pur-
poses such as a letterhead f. r sta-
tionery or a banner emblem.
