out the country
Commenting on the national fra-
ternity election, Greenville Bankjs,
president of the local chapter, stated
that it is most unusual to have two
national officers on one campus.
by the staff as "Student of the Year"
was Dock G. Smith, President of the
Student Government Association. He
was elected SGA president last March
by defeating Alan G. Alcock by an
overwhelming majority of 870 votes
to 243. It was one of the largest
majorities ever received by a candi-
date at East Carolina. Smith was
president of the Junior class in 1965-
56 and was president of the SGA
during the summer of 1956.
Smith
Smith has been an outstanding
student otherwise. He was selected
as one of the thirty-four students
from East Carolina for the national
'Who's Who" list. He has been active
in fraternity work and has been a
pa.st president of Sigma Phi Alpha.
STUDENT OF THE YEAR?Miss
Joan Melton, Miss North Carolina of
1957, was selected Student of the
Year among the women students on
cam us. Muss Melton was a freshman
at East Carolina last year and al-
though she no longer graces this
campus, she is busy in her capaoity
aa Miss North Carolina. Mis3 Melton
represented the state in the annual
"Miss America" contest in Atlantic
City last summer. Joan is considered
by many members of the music fac-
ulty as one of the finest piano talents
ever to come to East Carolina.
POLITICS?Bobby H&ll, President of
the DCC Young Democrats' Club, was
chosen as student of the year in poli-
tics. The YDC, under Hall's leader-
ship, aided in the Democratic rally
held for the appearance of House
S. eaker Sam Rayburn, when he spoke
at Wright Auditorium in September.
Hall also stirred?up much interest in
the national election on campus. In
a mock election sponsored by the East
Carolinian, Adlai Stevenson, the Dem-
ocratic candidate was favored by the
students of East Carolina by a two-
to-one margin.
DRAMA?Alice Anne Horn, active
member of the East Carolina Play-
house, received the editorial vote for
drama. Miss Horn will be remem-
bered mostly for her performance in

The first broadcast of East Caro-
lina's FM radio station, which was
scheduled for early this month, has
been postponed because of technical
difficulties.
Faulty parts were discovered in
some of the equipment recently re-
ceived and new ones are having to
le made. However, the station will
be ready to begin broadcasting within
three days after the parts arrive,
according to an announcement by Mr.
Wendell Smiley, radio librarian in
charge of technical operations.
Despite minor difficulties which
have hampered the opening of the
station since operations beg;an, the
Radio and TV committee has made
considerable progress towards the
realization of broadcasting from the
campus. Last week a direct wire was
constructed from the gym to the
radio studios in Joyner library. The
wire was constructed for the purpose
of broadcasting college athletic e-
vents taking place in the gym. Also,
the remaining equipment was moved
from the old studios in Austin build-
ing to the new ones in Joyner library.
Progress in programming is also
making headway under the direction
of Miss Rosalind Raulston, Chairman
of the FJCC Radio and TV committee.
When the station begins broadcast-
ing, it will operate three hours a
day from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. and from
5:00 to 7:00 p.m. A program in music
appreciation has been scheduled and
a series of programs in connection
with founders day are also being
planned, according to Miss Raulston.
Power
A huge 135-foot tower was erected
atop Joyner library early in Novem-
ber. The station will have the power
of three kilowatts and- is expected
to broadcast over a fifty-mile radius.
The total cost of the FM station was
estimated by Mr. Smiley as $22,400.
Volunteers
The college station will be operated
entirely by faculty and student vol-
unteers. The Radio and TV committee
of East Carolina college directs and
supervises the programming, plan-
ning, and policy of the radio and TV
activity connected with the college.
Members of the present committee
are: Miss iRaulston, chairman, Dr. A.
D. Frank, Dr. Kenneth Bing, Dr.
John Navarra, Mr. Smiley, Dr. Maths
Pingel, and Miss Mary Greene.

By OLIVER WILLIAMS
A new type of I D Card which
bears the picture of the holder, thus
assuring nontransferability, is being
studied by a Student Government
Association committee, and may pos-
sibly be introduced and used next
Fall Quarter.
The cards which will be used for
four years or as long as the student
is in school will cost approximately
51.80 and will take the place of the
old ID cards which have previo
been issued at the beginning of each
quarter. The cards will be cased in
plastic and will include not onlj the
student picture but his signature, the
East Carolina seal, and blocks for
validating the cal.
Not only will the new cards benefit
the athletic association by making it
necessary for outsiders to pay in-
stead of using Btudent cards, but
they will also be of benefit to the
students by serving as a mean
.roper identification at not only
college events, but in cashing checks,
and identifying themselves at various
occasions.
In order to enforce the nontrans-
ferability of the cards, Eddie Dennis,
Chairman of the committee working
on the cards, stated that whenever a
card was presented for admittance at
a college function by improper par-
ties, it would be confiscated and held
until the student owning the card
ptid the penalty for allowing some-
one else to use it.
Financing The Cards
According to Dennis, the main
thing to be decided now is a way of
financing the cards. The committee
is working on the possibility of add-
ing the cost of the card to the ac-
tivities fee the first quarter that the
student is enrolled here. The card
will then serve for the remainder of
the time that the student is in school
and will not result in any additional
cost, either to the school or student.
J. D. Henry, photographer for the
Buccaneer, will make the cards here
on campus, and according to Dennis,
in planning to purchase the equip-
ment needed to make them. Providing
that the committee has no delays,
cards for the present Junior, f pho-
more, and Freshmen classes will be
made during this Spring Quarter and
will be ready for distribution at the
beginning of next year.
Validating Cards
Another problem which the com-
mittee is still working on is that of
validating th?j cards when a student
fails to return to school at the be-
ginning of a new quarter. Dennis
stated, however, that he felt sure
that some system of punching the
Cards at the beginning of each
quarter that the student enrolls will
be used.
Robert Forrest, Greenville Banks,
and Martha Johnson are working
along with Dennis on the committee
that will settle the details and initiate
the cards. Jack Beaman and Bobby
Patterson are working on the finan-
cial committee.
The need for identification cards
that could not be transferred arose
because of the fact that many out-
siders have been using student iden-
tification cards to gain admittance to
college functions.
Rabbi Will Be Guest Speaker
Students are finding it pretty hard to setae down into the schedule
they followed prior to the Christmas holiday. Photographer Nora Willis
took this photograph last week during an early morning rash in the Soda
Shop. Early risers find the cold weather unbearable withoat the morning
coffee.
Rabbi Frederick I. Rypins of Tem-
ple Emanuel, Greensboro, who will
visit here Monday and Tuesday, Jan-
uary 14-15, will be guest speaker
at C.apel exercises Tuesday at noon
and will appear as lecturer in a num-
ber of classes during the two-day
period.
His visit to East Carolina has been
arranged through the Jewish Chau-
tauqua Society, an organization dis-
seminating authentic information a-
bout Judaism. On several previous
occasions he haa. been a visitor on
the campus here and has spoken he-
fore religious and academic groups.
Rabbi Rypins has been spiritual
leader of Temple Emanuel in Greens-
boro since 1981. Previously he oc-
cupied pulpits in Wilmington, N. (X,
and Roanoke, Vs.
"Judaism and Christianity?Friends
and Partners" will be the topic of
Rabbi Rypins chapel talk. Other topics
which he will discuss in various
classes in religion and ethics at the
college will include "The Essence of
Judaism and "Judaism and Social
Justice
Junior Class Meeting
A meeting of the Junior class
hss been scheduled for Mondsy
night, Janaary 14, at 7 p.m. in
Flanagan auditorium, according
to clase president Freddy James.
James said all committee chair-
men should be ready to make
reports.
PAGS TWO
EAST
CAROLINIAN
Something New
We have initiated something new for
journalism at East Carolina in this week's
edition of the paper. The members of the edi-
torial staff have chosen five students as "Stu-
dents of the Year In the same pattern, we
have selected what we consider the top ten
news stories of the year.
This idea was adopted from a practice
now in common use among newspapers through-
out the country. Each year the Associated Press
selects people who are tops in their respective
fields as men and women of the year. The East
Carolinian will attempt to do the same thing,
except, of course, on a smaller scale.
The primary purpose of these articles is
to review to the reader the main events on
their campus during the year and also give
special mention to the students who have
worked hard toward making a better East
Carolina College.
The selections made do not necessarily
reflect the editors' opinions on which people
are the most talented in any one phase of cam-
pus activity. We chose the people whom we
feel have been the most outstanding. The only
possible way we have of knowing who has
beefi .active in these various activities is
through the regular channels that flow through
the East Carolinian office. Not only have we
searched our minds, but also the files of our
back issues.
Of course, a new idea in journalism is
onlv as good as the interest it arouses among
its readers. The members of the editorial staff
sincerely hope that this idea will expand in
significance and in reader interest.
We hope that in time, it will be considered
an outstanding campus honor to be selected
among this group. Student organization is only
as strong as student participation. The stu-
dents who realize this and go about accomplish-
ing it deserve praise from the stu-
dent body as a whole. Students who
are outstanding enough in oampus ac-
tivities to receive mention in their col-
lege paper repeatedly should receive a great
deal more than this recognition by the East
Carolinian They deserve your thanka and
congratulations.
We repeat that we hope the students will
like this idea. We hope that they like it enough
to comment on it to us?and to the "Students

Looking Back
There Was A Lot
Of Growing In '56
l
ANY YEAR?'56 or '36?is made
memorable mainly because people,
places and things begin the year in ,
a small way but end up big before
December 31.
There was a lot of growing during
1956. If you'll look back far enough,
yu can remember:
WHEN you didn't know Elvis Pres-
ley from Thomas Pearsall.
Somebody dropped a hot brick in
Presley's pants and the Pelvis wig-
gled himself to the top. According
to news reports, however, rock n'
roll's favorite son might be strum-
ming his guitar in officers' clubs
during '57. He's scheduled to begin
a new movie for Hal Wallis soon
called "Running Wild sounds like
his life story.
But Mr. Pearsall got a rough deal.
He wrote a best-selling manuscript
and didn't even receive the Mayflow-
er award.

j lideast
in presenting his proposal to Congress
,n Saturday for what would amount to a pre-
dated declaration of war in the Middle East,
President Eisenhower recognized arguments
against such a course to an extent that seems
to defeat his own case.
The President says that should the need
for actions arise he would consult with Con-
gress if it is in session and that if Congress
is not in session, he would call a special ses-
sion immediately.
That would seem to remove any necessity
of including in the proposed resolution any
premature authority for unilateral use of the
armed forces of the United States.
The President also said that any action
taken would have to be "consonant with the
purposes and principles of the United Nations
and subject to the overriding authority
of the United Nations Security Council
Those reservations seem to make it clear
that a more effective way to proceed would
be through the United Nations rather than
independently of the United Nations which
might override independent action.
The President also stated that no action
would be taken in any country except upon
the request of that country.
This reservation might prevent (action
where it would be most needed. The United
Nations is under no such restriction. The
U. N. did not wait for a request by Hungary
to take action in regard to Hungary?action
which was resisted by the puppet government
of Hungarv but which has at least paid off to
the extent'that a U. N. team of observers is
now in Hungary.
But while the methods proposed by Pres-
ident Eisenhower can and should be scrutin-
ized and rejected if better methods are avail-
able, the President's request for Congress to
express itself concerning its concern about
the Middle East and its readiness to cooperate
with the United Nations in that area should
be granted.
The only real question is whether the
United States having rejected the claim of
Great Britain and France to a special interest
in the Middle East which warranted the in-
dependent use of force in the area, should now
assert such a right for itself.

Meeting Famous People
Bob Hilldrup, a graduate of East
Carolina in 1954 and former Sports
Editor of the East Carolinian, had
an opportunity to talk with Elvif
Presley several weeks ago.
Hilldrup, originally from Freder-
icksburg, Va worked for the local
Daily Reflector during his junior and
senior years at EGC, then spent
another year with the paper after
graduation. In 1955, he received an
offer from the Atlanta Constitution
and soon began working as a reporter
for the huge Georgia publication.
When Elvis paid a visit to Atlanta
not long ago, Reporter Hilldrup was
assigned to handle the coverage.
Bob returned to Greenville last
week for a short visit with friends
before leaving for Ft. Benning to
begin his basic training. His only
comment about the rock-and-roll idol:

the Chamber of Commerce wasn't
recognizing Ava because of her re-
ported flirtations with Sammy.
A Smithfield native asked a Look
reporter, "How'n hell could she sit
holding hands with a nigger
The reporter said Ava told him she
wasn't ashamed of her friendship with
Sammy and explained, "I feel there's

transited by E. FitageraML
someone, East Carolina has another
recent graduate who has hob-nobbed
around with the late James Dean.
Jim Corura, a '55 graduate and
former actor in the EOC Playmakers,
met the moody Mr. Dean at Virginia
Beach the summer after "East Of
Eden" was released. Dean was already
established as an eccentric and bril-
liant personality by that time.
Some of Corum's comments, as
best as I can remember, were as fol-
lows: "He acted just like he did on
the screen. He was very sloppy and
slouched around in a booth at one of
the beach hangouts and talked to
friends. He was peculiar, and would
sometimes begin talking, break off
in the middle of a sentence and stare
of into the distance, forgetting all
about the conversation
Speaking of someone-who-knows-
Since we've already taken up most
of the column speaking of acquaint-
anci a with celebrities, we might as
well kill it all off.
As for myself, the only famous
I ersonality that I ever came into
contact with was Jake Lamotta, for-
mer world middleweight boxing cham-
pion and the only man who ever
knocked out Sugar Ray Robinson
(except for Joey Maxim). Lamotta has
somewhat of an astonishing record
in t" e fact that he has never been
knocked off his feet.
Perhaps my little incident shouldn't
even count, really. I only passed a
street corner and noticed Lamotta
loading a truck across the street. Ha-
ving such a poor record, he had quit
the ring and was employed as a truck
driver. Besides, he was too busy to
stop and talk.
All this column proves is nothing,
other than the fact that people are
people, regardless of how famous
they may be, and are not so far re-
moved from East Carolina foi ah
their fame and fortune.

Wants to Move the Cats
(This begins a series of col-
umns by staff reporter Bryan
Harrison. A sophomore from
Asheville, he transferred to East
Carolina from Brevard College.

One of the most interesting pas-
times a motorist can have is to drive
through a rural section and watch
the different animals react to an ap-
proaching automobile. Take, for in-
stance, a chicken. If a chicken is in
the highway when a car is coming,
it only takes the slightest sound of
the horn to send it scattering. A dog
takes a little longer, slowly lumbering
across the road as you press your
horn. 't is the cat that presents the
problem. No amount of pressure on
f. e horn can induce him to move from
his resting piace in the middle of
the road. Drive right up to him,
screech to a stop, and blow. Still,
the cat won't move.
College students are sometimes
like cats. Nothing will move them.
They are completely lifeless at times.
matters, but it's too much trouble to
vote. The administration spends a lot
of money providing top-name artists
and performers for them to see and
enjoy, but they have to catch up on
their studying so trey can go home
? luring the week end.
When everyone comes to college
in the fall there is a lot of spirit,
seeing old friends, meeting new ones,
looking forward to new, exciting ex-
periences, and all that old stuff.
But then after a while, winter sets
in. The students suffer a transfor-
mation. Their attitudes become feline.
Consequently a dull, boring, unsti-
mulnting atmosphere settles on the
campus.
A gradual retrogression begins its
work.
A creeping "East Carolinianism"
seecs in.
Our athletic teams need vocal sup-
port, but they won't yell. Pep rallys
are held to build up spirit, but they
wont come. Excting dances and
parties are planned for the week end,
but they go home.
The college newspaper lays bare
important controversial subjects for
them to be concerned with, but they
gripe because we have no cartoons
or jokes. The SGA offers them the
privilege of voting on significant
Now I know you think I am trying
to become some kind of a reformer,
that I am trying to start some kind
of campaign on school spirit. But if
you tvink I am so naive as to try
something like that, think again.
You may wonder why I chose thU
subject, for it is about the most
written-to-death subject that could
be found. Almost every school paper,
some time during the year, begins a
series of articles designed for the
upbuilding of greater school spirit
on the campus. And of course, it
always ends in dismal failure.
You see, this resurgent "East
Carolinianism" has set in on me too.
Hence, I have to waste your time and
money by turning in something like
this.
I wish I could find something hot
to write about. Oliver Williams sug-
gested segregation, but that's old too.
The newspapers have treated that
topic something like the way Holly-
wood has treated "Custer's Last
Stand
I would like to move the cats.
I would like for them to junrp
when I blow my horn. But cats never
will, unless some great scientist is
someday able to invent an exciting
new formula for changing the natur
of felines.
So I will fail as a columnist be-
cause it will have no influence on it:
readers. No one will write me r
letter and call me a liar. No one wil
dare argue with me, not because
am right or necessarily a good arg
uer, but simply because no one b
interested.
For instance, no one wiVl tell mc
that there is any spirit at East Caro-
lina, or if there isn't, no one wil
even try to acquire such a charac-
teristic. So you see this column is
not designed to move anyone, be-
cause I know beore i finish writing
it that it won't. T am just using this
opportunity to fill up space in the
East Carolinian. I am just wastinj
your time and money to do my own
personal wishing. I apologize, dea'
reader, for letting "East Carolin-

by WAM's Herb Tomlinson.
Meads won first place in the 50

somewhat dismal, so far as statistics
are concerned.
The Bucs opened play at Pfeiffer
only one day before the big Parris
Island Invitational Tourney was to
begin?over a hundred miles away
to squeeze out a 76-70 win.
Coach Howard Porter used a new
lineup agajnvst Pfeiffer and first
began his recent surge of wild ex-
perimentation, there. Freddy James,
who had been running at a regular
guard slot, sat out the "whole game.
Substitutes Tim Smothers, Harold
Ingram and Marion Hales turned in
fine performances?alo-g with Nick
Nichols and Don Harris.

ages, but which was very import-
ant nevertheless, is that the Bucs

would produce a consistently-win-
ning outfit.
Porter hit upon that outfit in the
third match of the tourney against
Piedmont, of Georgia. The Pirates
clobbered the Georgia aggregation
112-62. Porter had Guy Mendenhall
and Harold Ingram at guards, Tim
Smothers at center and Nick Nichols

ning to shape up like the Atlantic
Coast Conference with the home
team winning at home and then losing
at away games. Atlantic Christian,
Lenoir Rhyne, High Point, Western
Carolina, Elon, and East Carolina
have become the biggest winners on
their home court, but the others have
aLo proven to be dangerous. Des: ite
this, the games do not mean too much
since the tournament decides the
champion, but a lot of interest is
always shown.
Conference Topics
One of the biggest topics to come
up in the North State Conference
meeting several weeks ago was the
admittance of Pfieffer to the loop.
This move was voted down mainly
because Pfieffer did not have foot-
ball. Another move was brought
Torth to bring in the Little Three
of South Carolina: Wofford, Pres-
byterian and Newberry. This was to
e investigated before the next meet-
ing. (This topic will be discussed
more fully in the next edition.)
Dick Cherry, one of East Carolina's
and North State's great athletes,
was mentioned at the meeting by
Tom Robinson of Western Carolina.
Cherry, who was in the hospital at
Wilson with a mild case of T. B was
remembered for his outstanding play
in the conference.
Hats off go to coach Ray Mar-

Jimmy Meads, the Buc mermen swept

ECC's Home Winning
Streak Snapped Here
Rhyne came to Memorial
Gymnasium the week before Christ-
maa and broke the Ee Cs"lina
ame home-court winning streak,
Qg the Pirates 82-63.
The fans sat stunned into almost
lete silence throughout the final
.es of the game when the ?ud-
reahzation that the Bucs were
g to lose finally came home.
Lf-nior Rhyne's All-America center
Raeford Wells, the greatest indi-
vidual scorer the North State con-
ference has yet seen, pumped in 18
points, 16 in the second half, to pace
hia squad. Walter Cornwell grabbed
ih honors with 24.
Nick Nichols was top point-getter
for the Bucs with 20. Charlie Adams
and Don Harris netted 12 each.
That 82-63 loss in the so-called
"Jinx" gym, marked the first time
the Bucs had been beaten at home in
five years, since dedication day. In
dedication of the new gym five sea-
sons ago, North Carolina?going for
the first time under Frank McGuire?
dumped ECC by 13t points. Coach
Howard Porter's Pirates raced
through 50 consecutive victories with-
out defeat from that point, until
they were slugged by the Bears the
week before Christmas.
East Carolina's 50-game streak was
the longest ever recorded in North
Carolina (and possibly anywhere).
To be certain, the mark was one of
the longest ever attained by any
team.

Publishes Science Text Book
by KATHRYN JOHNSON
Dr. Jcihn Navan-a has recently
finished his third science text book,
Manual for Science Today and To-
morrow. The oook, which was writ-
ten in collaboration with Dr. Gerald
S. Craig, Professor Emeritus otf

versity, will come off the -press in
one month.
In the book are methods which a
teacher might use in teaching science
in the elementary grades. Pictures of
student practice teachers from East
Carolina and children from Mrs.
Elsie Eagan's fifth grade classroom
at the Wahl-Coats Laboratory school
will appear in the book, which will be
circulated not only in the United
States, but also in Canada and other
foreign countries.
Ginn and Company, publishers of
the book, have praised the good pho-
tography which was done by East
Carolina student J. D. Henry. His
name will appear under the photo-
graphs in the book. Henry, who was
chief photographer for the East Car-
olinian last year, is chief photo-
grapher for the Buccaneer and has
been photographer for the News Bu-
reau of East Carolina for two years.
Navarra Comments
Dr. Navarra commented, "I think
J. D. does excellent photographic
work. The publishers were also quite
pleased with the quality of his work.
In fact, if 1 had known that his work
was of such a high caliber I would
ave used him for all the photogra-
phic work. I am planning to use him
on a long term project in evaluation
?rhich will eventually lead to or cul-
minate in a book on the subject.
It seems that Dr. Navarra never
stops writing. For three year he
has been working on a trade book

rimary education book has been

Crews has also sung with the East
Carolina orchestra on several oc-
casions.
SPORTS?Dick Cherry, the first
East Carolina athlete to receive full-
fledged All-America honors as a
small school performer, was named
student of tie year in sports, accord-
ing to the voting given him by the
East Carolinian staff. Despite the
fact that Cherry did not take as ac-
tive a part in school sports as he had
in past years, he still made the head-
lines. Cherry was stricken with tu-
berculosis shortly after he dropped
out of .school. He is now in Wilson
sanitorium undergoing treatment for
his illness.
Many outsiders have also made
contributions to the news at East
Carolina this year. The staff se-

of the performances provided by the
College entertainment series in the
